[00:00] (#GH::E510M1Tgewt) hello? [00:00] Guest92847: Microsoft Comic Chat is irritating and not allowed in this channel. Change your client now, please. [00:00] i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ? [00:00] /quit [00:01] (#G010E810M1Tgewt) but this is the best irc client ever [00:01] (#G610E>10M1Tgewt) suggestions for a new one? [00:01] Guest92847: xchat, irssi, mIRC, http://webchat.freenode.net/ ... [00:02] logicalor, mysqldump tells me, that i have no access... however im wondering how mysql gets the login data [00:02] bitchx [00:02] !bitchx [00:02] bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [00:02] Hi guys. Question. If I hvae 8 gb of memory is it safe to remove the swap partition? [00:02] dashx: yes [00:02] rww: Anything special I have to do, or can I just remove it with gparted? [00:02] I'm having trouble with lucid, I've got tor ppa installed and it's failing on apt-get update with BADSIG. However, the key is valid and the repo can be manually validated. I also checked apt-key has a valid key. Any advice? [00:02] dashx: disable it with swapoff first [00:02] rww: ty. [00:03] I'm looking for away to highlight text in a PDF (like with a digital yellow highlighter). Any apps that can do this? [00:03] (#G=10E110M1Trww) try microsoft notepad [00:03] Guest92847: /join #ubuntu-ops when you've found a better client. === Guest16489 is now known as Ttech [00:04] pw-toxic, you need to use mysqldump -u -p[yourpassword] [yourdatabase] > [yourfilename] [00:04] er [00:04] ah ok thx [00:04] skip the -u [00:04] or use -u [username] [00:05] hi, need help registering my irc nick [00:05] chaitresh: /join #freenode for nick registration help [00:05] can someone help or point me to right room? [00:05] thanks! [00:05] which room can I discuss "torrent" clients for linux? === fisted_ is now known as fisted [00:06] ------> pointing to correct room [00:06] musicpiff, what do you want to know [00:06] gmachine_24: for me its on the other side :D [00:06] musicpiff: i use utorrent on ubuntu [00:06] ;) [00:06] no its just that I dont wanna be off topic [00:06] musicpiff: I would use transmission, [00:06] musicpiff, I use rtorrent. CLI. sleek and easy [00:06] thats why if there is a special room for this.. tell me [00:06] utorrent / deluge [00:07] musicpiff, we are telling you [00:07] or rtorrent and a web gui [00:07] oh yeah deluge is pretty cool [00:07] you've had 3 suggestions [00:07] maybe 4 [00:07] seriously rtorrent is the bomb [00:07] transmission isn't very customisable [00:07] rtorrent is awesome [00:07] rtorrent was slow for me [00:07] dunno if that's improved since i tried it last [00:08] Do the torrent clients have a built in encryption feature for downloading music? [00:08] Ben65, I don't think that was the program.......... but I could be wrong [00:08] utorrent does, i think deluge does, not sure about that though [00:08] musicpiff, if you are asking how to break a copyright law, no one will help you [00:08] whoops [00:08] haha [00:08] gmachine_24: jumping to comclusions are we? [00:08] mujsicpiff, I said "if" [00:09] I asked if there is an encryption feature :) [00:09] er, musicpiff [00:09] musicpiff, what do you want to encrypt? the download? it seems the source does that............................ [00:09] Halloo all! [00:09] hi [00:09] musicpiff, unless you go through a site that attempts to hide the transmission [00:09] gmachine_24: i think he means the protocol and stuff, some mean ISPs tend to block all torrenting [00:10] ya [00:10] well I just wanna be safe [00:10] Ben65, yeah. I have one of them. Sort of. [00:10] wear a condom [00:10] My ISP uses firewall software [00:11] to redirect you from bittorrent sites that contain copyrighted material [00:11] how do they know its a torrent and not a regular file [00:11] gmachine_24, ssh tunnels and VPNs are remarkable at getting around firewalls [00:11] Nisstyre, yes, true. [00:11] Nisstyre: dont vpn's make you even more unsecure? [00:11] seedbox + vpn = minimal problems === jesus is now known as Guest5732 [00:12] musicpiff, uh no [00:12] the opposite [00:12] set up ssh on a server on port 80, and you can't get blocked (pretty much) [00:12] how? [00:12] theproblem is, I don't trust seed boxes [00:12] musicpiff, by encrypting all traffic by default [00:12] nimenhao [00:12] actually I don't trust anyone [00:12] because your relying on the opposite server to not rat you out [00:12] please [00:12] musicpiff, you're relying on your isp to not "rat you out" [00:12] ya but a vpn [00:12] just remember gmachine_24, wearing a tin foil hat actually increases the ability of 'the man' to read your brainwaves [00:12] is connecting to another server through your isp [00:13] musicpiff: maybe you should consider getting music legally? [00:13] Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use?? [00:13] logicalor, I stopped making tin foil hat jokes when dick cheney became vp ;) [00:13] im not talking about downloading anything [00:13] ^_^ [00:13] im just getting around how it works [00:13] I do downloading on windows [00:13] Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use? [00:14] also Ben65, 443 is the best port [00:14] Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use? [00:14] because it becomes indistinguishable from ssl traffic [00:14] musicpiff, they catch you when the RIAA or MPAA signs up users to track the ISP addresses of the seeders/leechers [00:14] !ot | Pretty_much_everyone [00:14] Pretty_much_everyone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:14] Nisstyre: interesting [00:14] sorry for OT [00:14] lol [00:14] Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use? [00:14] !guidelines [00:14] pleas [00:14] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [00:14] please [00:15] Mahoro: repeating doesn't help - maybe try asking what you want in a manner people can understand easier? [00:15] here's something to keep in mind: use a rotating set of routers and you will be getting a new IP address every few days. It will also keep your neighbors away and just in general drive people crazy [00:15] logicalor, this was what i was looking for - thanks [00:15] Mahoro: you mean use terminal to see the running processes? [00:15] gmachine_24: sign up users? [00:15] yw [00:15] gmachine_24: which users [00:15] yes [00:15] yes [00:15] gmachine_24: hahah, [00:15] yes [00:15] Mahoro: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] logicalor, now i have to fight with crontabs... can you tell me where my crontab file is created after i have don "crontab -e"? i want to edit my crontab with gedit [00:15] musicpiff, seeders and leechers === Guest39209 is now known as LjL-Temp [00:16] i.e. people uploading and downloading........... [00:16] gmachine_24: so your saying they themselve's sign up seeders and leechers to track the isp of the seeders? [00:16] musicpiff, yes === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest35449 [00:16] musicpiff: yes, but mostly only happens on public sites [00:16] or really to track the seekers [00:16] pw-toxic: set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL environment variables and you can use gedit with crontab -e [00:16] i live in Canada, so not a problem for me [00:17] Still cannot get ipw2200 to work after the last update. A few pointers? [00:17] I'm having a problem with screen standby (monitor sleep) I was wondering if anyone could help. The screen saver in gnome currently turns on but the monitor itself never "falls asleep" it just keeps playing the screensaver. Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance. [00:17] they can see your IP addr, and then report you to the ISP [00:17] Jasonn, we hate Canadians... cuz $1C = $1.03US [00:17] Jasonn: what if you go through a proxy [00:17] greppy, why not use gedit /etc/...path_to_crontab_file ? [00:17] Can i know that services run in ubuntu for terminal?? what comman i would use? [00:17] someone know? [00:17] pw-toxic: because you can't edit them as a normal user. [00:17] command [00:17] musicpiff: does the torrent go through the proxy, or just the access to the website [00:17] musicpiff, proxies are not very safe [00:18] Mahoro: ps -ef maybe? [00:18] pw-toxic i'm not sure - i have always used crontab [00:18] gmachine_24: actually, im not very fond of canadians, [00:18] gmachine_24: im from Peru, forced to come hgere [00:18] greppy, im root ;) so i dont care about this === axilla_ is now known as Axilla [00:18] pw-toxic: also I think crontab actually does some basic syntax checking so you don't hose stuff up. [00:18] greppy: it does === jim_ is now known as Guest68527 [00:18] Mahoro, stop asking the same question all the time [00:18] greppy, ok then i think i will just work with nano [00:18] you cant download torrents through a proxy? [00:18] pw-toxic: then you can figure it out, the accepted way is to set your EDITOR and/or VISUAL env variables in your shell. [00:18] zorry [00:18] i am very new in this [00:19] musicpiff, find someone from Anonymous and ask them [00:19] i configure LDAP [00:19] and [00:19] Mahoro: you mean the command to see the running processes? [00:19] whats anonomous [00:19] greppy, no i wont do thise, because i want a minimum of configuration for my server [00:19] that a room'?" [00:19] i think he's after services, not just all processes [00:19] noone know ldap araun my university an anywhere [00:19] araund [00:19] musicpiff, google anonymous and hackers [00:19] yes [00:19] XD [00:19] es fine [00:20] Jasonn, I was just kidding [00:20] Mahoro, maybe service --status-all? [00:20] Jasonn, you've had that famous tea from Peru? [00:20] greppy, when im right here.. can you maybe tell me how i could do backups of my system? For the scenario my system hard drive crashes, i want to restore my fileserver on a new hard drive === Guest26195 is now known as DarkDevil [00:20] Mahoro: if you are not comfortable speaking in english, we have ubuntu chatrooms in most languages [00:20] oh ya, anther interesting questions I had [00:20] top [00:20] gmachine_24: Yes, and i know, but i dont like canadians, they are mean [00:20] Jasonn, how are they mean === DarkDevil is now known as Guest64011 [00:20] Mahoro: and yes, you can just type: top [00:21] gmachine_24: have you been here? [00:21] Lets say your in a hotspot with like 50 other people using the network and you download music and just run [00:21] how do they know its you [00:21] if your on a laptop [00:21] Jasonn, Canada? of course. my mom was from Canada and I have relatives there still [00:21] musicpiff: they could track your mac address, but they probably wouldnt go so far [00:21] musicpiff, do you mean if you're on a laptop at Starbucks? [00:21] musicpiff: ip-adress (which is set thourh dhcp which is using MAC) [00:21] gmachine_24: yes [00:22] musicpiff, see, I knew it. [00:22] gmachine_24: i mean particularily from Toronto, people that live/drive in the city are extemely rude [00:22] iceroot: still how would they track you [00:22] if you never connect to the internet again [00:22] if you are after a list of running / installed / not installed services you can also use service --status-all. running services have a + before them, non-running services have a - before them, non-installed services have a ? before them [00:22] I'm from Ottawa, Canada. === root is now known as Guest96346 [00:22] musicpiff, they will bust the door down, screaming "I want a Venti Americano" and dump some flash bangs around the cafe and the next thing you know you'll be in jail [00:22] musicpiff: this is ubuntu support, so there is no reason ti discuss how you can use an open wlan to download mp3s [00:22] BlackDragonTechy: im from Toronto [00:23] i have to do a sudo service gdm restart every time i boot if i want my ubuntu menu bar to go back to the nice dark grey colour... why could this be ? [00:23] hows it going eh [00:23] I am compiling a program from sources, how can I get from "make install" to a .deb ? [00:23] wich chatrooms is in spanish [00:23] and [00:23] gmachine_24: dont scare him, they wont go through all that trouble, and they wont het there before you leave. [00:23] ldap? [00:24] Mahoro: hablas espanolo? [00:24] Jasonn, sssssssssssh [00:24] si [00:24] gmachine_24: lol [00:24] y muy bine [00:24] bien [00:24] Hola, guys.

[00:31] I am in university and many of the students use this os, so I'm trying to get started. for starters I use microsoft one note for a task list, is there something similar here, is there evernote or something like it. [00:31] but i don't like the interface of evernote [00:31] Lauren_: I am sorry for being such a stickler, but when you talk to people, can you please include their nicks in the message [00:32] lauren_: what is one note? [00:32] Jasonn: an MS office product similar to evernote. [00:32] brb [00:32] Jasonn, I am sry microsoft one note is a program that keeps list of txt, pics, etc. like a spiral but digital [00:33] Hey, I was wondering if there was anyone one that can perhaps provide some advice/insite to a noob?

[00:39] problem with connecting to postgres database [00:39] skycrazy: they have a wiki and a blog [00:39] Jasonn: Possible to direct me to someone that might assist with a slightly broke system after a recent update?

[00:41] greppy, i simply want to restore a small system partition of my system if the hard drive crashes, so i can restore everything with copying one partition [00:42] Logan_: Usually how long does it take from source into a Ubuntu package? [00:42] greppy, the ubuntu help pages focusses on data backups [00:42] pw-toxic: you can use dd to copy a partition. [00:42] Dash_: Sorry i cant help you mate, [00:42] Jasonn: I appreciate it anyway. Truly. ;) [00:42] lauren_: depends on the prog, but there is 4 different desktops you can choose from [00:42] greppy, do you think it is a good idea to backup the system partition using dd? [00:43] Dash_: try downgrading with the alternate CD [00:43] Jasonn: You were looking to get off of mac, no? You'd install that because you have the functionality of linux with a pretty interface that would be more familiar to an ex-mac user [00:43] Looking for Program similar to Microsoft One Note any ideas? [00:44] pw-toxic: you can. I normally worry more about actual data to backup, since I can restore packages rather easily. [00:44] pw-toxic: I use rsync and rsnapshot to backup /etc for example. [00:44] Djpenguin: HAHA, why would i get a mac? I was actually suggesting ubuntu to an ex-mac user, but i really wouldnt mind the interface change as the mac interface is horrd anyways [00:44] greppy, the problem is that there is so much configuration im doing.. [00:45] iflema: no worries, I'm new to irc, and will either get used to this or find a client that will work best for me [00:45] lauren_: you can change between the desktops to see what you were looking at [00:45] BRB [00:45] greppy, my system hard drive crashed and now i have to set up ubuntu from scratch.. dhcp NAT apache2 mysql samba.. everythign [00:45] pw-toxic: almost all of which is stored in /etc [00:45] Jasonn: I will try to use that and see what works best for me [00:45] hello [00:45] greppy, almost? what exactly do you mean with almost all ;) [00:45] one of the guys at work was investigating unison for regular backups - looks interesting but i haven't played too much with it yet [00:46] so, how do i get from one thousand to zero?

I would like to make a copy, removing or changing the region encoding. is there a package that I could use for this? [00:47] thanks [00:47] Jasonn: How? [00:47] adross: why not just rip the DVD, and then just burn it on another with another encoding? [00:47] Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it? [00:47] i looked at su and it was 1000 when it should be 0 [00:47] greppy, so thats bad just to restore a server... im still not sure what backup solution i should use [00:47] or did it return my normal priv [00:47] lauren_: there is a package you can install for that [00:47] itaylor57: I don't like the interface of evernote and ones I've tried in past, is this similar to onenote? [00:48] I ran Brasero, it ran into a problem burning the CD I wanted to, so I shut the program down normally, but now when I try to re-open it, it won't open. From terminal it gives "Segmentation fault" as the error, any suggestions? [00:48] Jasonn: I know I keep asking a lot, but can you direct me to that as well [00:48] lauren open the link and take a look === Taj is now known as TajHQ [00:48] t-rask: reinstall it [00:48] What is the mac-looking doc for ubuntu? [00:48] ^important [00:49] Jasonn, that seems a little extreme if it was just working? [00:49] Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it? [00:49] I mean, it's no big deal, I'm doing that right now, but I would assume there's something more exact to try, heh. [00:49] t-rask just reinstall the program if a segment of it is missing, thats all i can think of [00:49] Hello, I want to login another ubuntu machine via GDM remote session but I can't find it! Where is it? [00:50] lauren_: i really dont know the name off the top of my head, but its really easy to install too, i can give you my email address if you need anything else after :) [00:50] I am interested in learning how to use terminal more efficiently, and to create aliases for things such as compress and decompress, any Ideas were to start?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:51] lauren_: check PM [00:51] greppy, or can i just copy the result to a file and restore from that file? [00:51] pw-toxic: do it, give it a shot and see what happens. make sure and test it. [00:51] Jasonn: what does PM mean? [00:51] I went from Linux mint to Ubuntu, And when i did, i took a package list off mint, then when i got to ubuntu, i got its package list, i used a script to take out all the entires they had in common... kay? [00:52] greppy, ok thx i'll try this one [00:52] lauren_: it's Private Message [00:52] Then i went thrugh it manually, removed mintInstall etc [00:52] Things i didnt need [00:52] they're showing up in lvdisplay, but when i try to mount one i get: mount: special device /dev/vg0/ubuntu64 does not exist [00:52] BlackSaviour: one line please [00:52] Then i used a command to install everything on the list. [00:52] anass: how do I envoke a private message [00:52] i've run pvscan, vgscan, and lvscan, and it sees them, so apparently i just need to make the device files?

[00:56] whoops [00:57] ok.......... no help on cutting back on power usage while on battery power, other than the easy options on the GUI power preferences [00:57] Has anyone used free services like DropBox for syncing filing systems and backing them up?

[00:59] i am amazed, it actually worked, some linux console hax and it did not kernel panic [00:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/575784/ there [01:00] package list ^ [01:00] i have tried every major release since ubuntu 7 [01:00] How do I find the full error message? [01:00] and tenten is the first that looks promising [01:00] ah damn, all i needed to do was one more step after vgscan: vgchange -a y [01:00] they weren't activated [01:00] mickster04: it's not working because it's cannot see GDM [01:00] rww: Yea kinda is....

[01:01] Thats the point of cusomisation. It looks/feels/acts like ubuntu .... Just with x-chat and a good backup utility /new menu (thats really all i kept) [01:01] i could only find outdated console [01:01] i want to ask for some help [01:01] BlackSaviour: No, if you /install/ from an Ubuntu ISO, that makes it Ubuntu. I'm gathering from your convoluted process above that you started with Linux Mint and then jumped through hoops. [01:01] Gamer19901, ask then [01:01] No i started with a ubuntu [01:01] And added the packages from minti that i wanted. [01:01] min [01:01] mickster04: I was using it untill I needed to login, but I can't because it cannot see GDM!

[01:02] what is a version of putty on mac [01:02] or both in flickering [01:02] BlackSaviour: seeing as you have a tonne of mint based packages there it's not surprising, what have you isntalled in mint that you need in ubuntu? and why not just download them from the repos like normal? [01:02] BlackSaviour: Okays. Those packages are not supported here. Mixing repositories from different distributions is not a good idea. Go ask the Linux Mint people. [01:02] Gamer19901, with compiz on or off [01:02] on at max [01:02] They're their packages, after all. [01:02] mickster04, Becuase it was faster :P [01:02] Gamer19901, disable it and try [01:02] hold on... [01:02] anass: i am not sure if you can acces the log in screen remotely [01:02] rww: i didnt add any repos. [01:02] BlackSaviour: s/repositories/packages/, then. [01:02] anass: you have to og in when you connect so you never see the log in opage [01:03] how does fullscreen differ from seamless mode? [01:03] rww: those packages are all in the ubuntu repos which makes em ubuntu. [01:03] looks the same to me [01:03] Pat: just boot up and write it down [01:03] BlackSaviour: Ubuntu does not contain packages that would make your computer say "Linux Mint", so no. [01:03] rww: so your saying your not running ubuntu? x-chat isnt stock with it. [01:03] rww: nope, they dont. Thats why you download the deb files :P === str8jacket is now known as exiter [01:04] BlackSaviour: which are not supported here. [01:04] mickster04: I remeber that there is an option in GDM sessions called "Remote session" but I can't find it in GDM Sessions List [01:04] rww: mhmm, your point? Just cus i did some editin dosent mean you guys can help me get it back. === darkwurm_ is now known as darkwurm [01:04] and is there a way to make those part and connect messages go away in this empathy?

[01:05] BlackSaviour: My point is that your frankenstein configuration is not supported in this channel, and that you should stop asking for support here.

And its not a weird config, its Ubuntu with like 3 extra things [01:05] pw-toxic: try in #ubuntu-server [01:06] !mintsupport | BlackSaviour [01:06] BlackSaviour: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:06] madcatter, ndiswapper maybe a good choice [01:06] fadax: you can make ashoret cut, but you will always have to mount it first [01:06] omfg [01:06] mickster04: but I can't login by ssh, it said: Connection refused.

[01:08] i must say i am amazed that how fast 1010 boots, it is as fast as vistas return from hibernation [01:09] in a virtualbox.! [01:09] well, if anyone asks again, they just need to: pvscan, vgscan, vgchange -a y, lvscan, then mount [01:09] http://www.palandokenrentacar.com/ [01:09] the flash plugin just crashed with no report [01:09] but why cannot i set the "magic" on in the effects menu, now that i have the emulated 3d drivers?

[03:02] Jasonn, Boot a live CD. Use root on that live CD to edit the file. [03:02] as I already said. [03:02] lol. Guess I ticked the bot off. Thanks for the help everyone, this is rather large so I'ma do this restricted extras download later after I recharge the cell connection. [03:02] Jasonn: I guess you can boot into single user to get back to root access and then modify your /etc/sudoer file from that [03:03] no luck... would anyone be so kind as to explain to me how I can change the process name of a process I'm starting using init.d? I'd like to be able to use start-stop-daemon --name [03:03] sacarlson: how do i get root access on LiveCD? === Logan_ is now known as ImOnABoat [03:03] Jasonn, sudo, just like you do normally.

Anyone with experience in setting up a VPN in 10.10 able to help?

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.20061216-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 584 kB, installed size 1028 kB [03:28] firsttimecaller, use the repos version first and almost always [03:29] anonboots: with network-manager applet is easy [03:29] firsttimecaller, 3rd party stuff will cause issues and are not supported here [03:29] audi0: yes, it is. I have set all settings as per my provider, but I still cannot connect. [03:29] Ubuntu (System Monitor) is saying that I've 2.9GB RAM, but I've 4GB installed. Where could the missing gig be? [03:29] <[TK]D-Fender> "may" [03:29] ok, so looks like i didn't install it right the first time, yes? [03:29] is that what you're saying? [03:30] anonboots: is it PPTP or OpenVPN? [03:30] LorgonJortle, Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? [03:30] pls keep in mind i'm kind of a noob [03:30] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go look inside the deb and see what command it drops in /bin or /usr/bin [03:30] audi0: PPTP [03:30] firsttimecaller, best to search in package manager or apt-cache search package or on irc /msg ubottu find package [03:30] audi0: Let me double check just to be sure. [03:30] ok, so don't download and install stuff from the sourceforge site, yes? [03:30] anonboots: in advanced options select use point-to-point encryption [03:30] edbian, Nope. But I've 64 bit architecture. [03:31] firsttimecaller, thats a very last resort, even after PPA [03:31] instead use the synaptic package manager? [03:31] !ppa | firsttimecaller [03:31] firsttimecaller: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [03:31] firsttimecaller, yep [03:31] LorgonJortle, You need 64 bit OS to take advantage of more than 3.2 Gb of RAM (not sure why you see 2.9) but either way you need 64 bit to get all 4 GB [03:31] you guys keep using all the acronyms and jargon words that i don't really follow [03:31] firsttimecaller, or the terminal sudo apt-get install mypasswordsafe [03:31] audi0: Im going to attempt to set up as OpenVPN. When I purchased, it was unclear, to be honest. [03:31] edbian, Ah.... Thanks for the clarification. [03:32] audi0: if I have no luck, Ill ask again. [03:32] ok, so i should probably uninstall it now. how do i do that? [03:32] firsttimecaller, synaptic package manager handles all that. best to use it first and almost always [03:32] anonboots: to use openvpn in nm applet you need install the plugin [03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: I jsut told you what to look for [03:32] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Go see if you can find the binary it should have installed [03:32] LorgonJortle, no problem. It's because there are more than 2^32 addresses in 4Gb of ram, so you need 64 bit (2^64 possible addresses) to use them all. There is some hack for the 32 bit kernel called pae or something. [03:32] !pae [03:32] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [03:32] firsttimecaller, system administration synaptic package manager [03:32] anonboots: install the package network-manager-openvpn [03:33] anonboots: or you can install openvpn client package [03:33] firsttimecaller, top panel under the system menu [03:33] madwifi,ndiswrapper,which is better? [03:33] edbian, Yeah, I understand machine addressing. It just didn't occur to me when I saw it. Much appreciated. [03:33] LorgonJortle, no problem :) [03:34] I asked earlier how to get sudo access when i messed up the sudoers file [03:34] steff12321, Did you figure out a solution? [03:35] now i am in livecd, and when i say sudo gedit /etc/sudoers it just brings me to the temp sudo file [03:35] steff12321: sudo visudo [03:35] ok, so i want the mypassword safe found in synaptic, yes? [03:35] steff12321, It's accessing the file on the live CD. You need to mount the partition on the harddrive first and edit the sudoers file on there. [03:36] edbian: how do i do that? [03:36] firsttimecaller, Yes, always choose software that's in the repos first because it's safe and automatically updated [03:36] steff12321, CLI or GUI way? [03:36] right [03:36] and the mypassword safe is the program that's the ubuntu version of password safe, yes? [03:36] edbian: preferably GUI [03:37] steff12321: you will need to mount the disk you normaly boot from and modify the /etc/sudoer file on that root disk [03:37] firsttimecaller, likely yes [03:37] steff12321, Go to computer. See click on the drives listed in there until you figure out which is your Ubuntu root partition. [03:37] steff12321, Then find the file in there. [03:37] edbian: its a protected file, so i have to do it with a sudo command [03:38] steff12321, gksudo nautilus will give you a nautilus window as the root user. You can use it to do all of this. [03:38] steff12321, Typically you do not want to use a root window but this is a case where it is useful for you [03:38] ok, i just installed mypassword safe from synaptic. any idea how i run it? i can't find the icon [03:39] firsttimecaller, mypassword in the terminal is a guess [03:39] edbian: wait, so what do i do after the nautilus? [03:39] firsttimecaller, what about alt f2 mypasswordsafe [03:39] firsttimecaller, time mypass and then jam on tab frantically and it'll auto-complete something useful [03:39] steff12321: after you have mounted it or know where it it mounted you can gksudo gedit /path/to/your/etc/sudoer and modify it as needed [03:39] bazhang: the bug is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/607482 [03:39] Ubuntu bug 607482 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "[VIA VT1708S] ALSA test tone NOT correctly played back for headphone but works fine for speakers" [Undecided,Expired] [03:39] steff12321, what sacarlson said [03:40] headhphones disabled in alsamixer [03:40] thank you [03:40] darn, and how do i get the terminal? [03:40] firsttimecaller: ctrl+alt+t [03:41] firsttimecaller, alt+f2 => gnome-terminal [03:41] or accessories terminal [03:41] or that [03:41] firsttimecaller, seriously not a hard thing to find [03:42] :> [03:42] hard is a relative thing and is almost always different for different people, but this discussion is probably out of the scope this channel [03:42] ye [03:43] !manual | firsttimecaller this may help [03:43] firsttimecaller this may help: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

Does anyone know how to remap media keys [03:55] in gnome? [03:55] how do i compress big exe file in small [03:56] I'd assume just go into the keybindings configuration [03:56] no, just plain X [03:56] main@Dell-laptop:~$ mypasswordsafe [03:56] mypasswordsafe: command not found [03:56] megana: which WM? [03:56] it's ubuntu server so I has no gnomes [03:56] most WMs have a keybindings file [03:56] i don't see anything in the man page that says how to start itg [03:56] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Now pay attention to the doc because it clearly has some CAPITALIZED LETTERS [03:56] where is it psion?

[04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: the doc told you exactly what to type... you could have copy & pasted [04:02] psion, I think it's xmodmap, but it seems to be a little over my head [04:02] Wiesshund: non fatal issues? that's a new one [04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Welcome to *NIX the lad where every character matters... or else [04:02] <[TK]D-Fender> land* [04:02] megana: nah don't bother with xmodmap, that's more difficult than it needs to be. it kind of circumvents the built in keybindings that openbox has [04:03] megana: it's good if you need to change the way mouse buttons behave or something, but anything else it's just a pain [04:03] oh [04:03] D-Fender thanks for the welcome . . . but how the heck is someone supposed to know? [04:03] sacarlson grub functions fine as far as booting, but the newest grub seems to pay no attention to the config files, such as 000_header, or 05_debain_theme etc [04:03] well I used showkey to tell me the keycode for the key I want to map [04:03] would you have done it like that psion? [04:03] D-Fender, where exactly did this man page tell me this? what are the words? [04:04] firsttimecaller, by reading the links we suggested, which are numerous [04:04] megana: I'd have used xev but they probably do the same exact thing [04:04] i don't see anything that says, to open this document, type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal [04:05] i followed the links, but just didn't see anything that seemed to tell me what i needed to know to open the program [04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: [22:54] <[TK]D-Fender> [22:49] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html firsttimecaller [04:05] megana: then just modify the xml file with your own keybindings. tbh I kind of like fluxbox's ~/.fluxbox/keys file more, it seems quicker to add little keybindings [04:05] MyPasswordSafe <----- firsttimecaller [04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: and I even followed the link and pasted the very explicit instructions for you [04:05] d-fender, yes, i went to that link. where on that page does it show exactly what has to be typed in to open? [04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> bazhang: Yeah, he got it now. [04:06] psion, do you know how I can put xmodmap back to defaults. I think I screwed it up some how [04:06] i'm asking so the next time i go to a page like that i';ll know how to read it [04:06] firsttimecaller, case matters [04:06] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/ <- ah, I followed the link to the actual project page...

Standard dictate that it has to match 100% [04:08] but where on that page does is say, to open this program type MyPasswordSafe in the terminal?

[04:09] firsttimecaller, the project page within that link does. as we have posted several times now [04:09] pscion, yeah shutting it down fixed the lag [04:09] so the keycode is 162 thanks to xev [04:09] megana: good, I thought it might. do you still have what I just linked you? seems like it breaks it down pretty well [04:09] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: Anyway you seem to have learned a few things all at once on this... several steps further ahead for it I hope [04:10] no psion, I looked away [04:10] ah [04:10] http://mywereld247.blogspot.com/2011/02/key-bindings-in-openbox.html === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [04:10] so is the answer to my last question "yes"?

Linux is not built around the assumption of "GUI" [04:11] d-fender, i don't see anything anywhere on the page you linked to that says WHAT the command is [04:12] megana: as an example, this is what my volume keys looks like in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file, yours will be different since it's xml, but it shows you the commands to manipulate volume and such [04:12] can you help me understand how to read those things?

[04:17] firsttimecaller, lets move on please. you have been given that link half a dozen times at least now [04:17] d-fender, can you give me the quote from the page that's blatantly obvious, just so i can learn from all this [04:17] ?

I don't know the specifics of yours, sorry [04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: How many more times will it take? [04:18] ok, i'm going to take that as an admission that there's nothing on the other page, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/MyPasswordSafe.1.html, that makes it clear to a noob how to open the program [04:18] firsttimecaller, lets move on [04:18] psion: ok thanks [04:18] <[TK]D-Fender> firsttimecaller: LINK ON THAT PAGE === Guest28100 is now known as LjL-Temp === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest32448 [04:19] i totally understannd that the other page makes it clear but that first one isn't, unless there's some kind of short hand you guys aretn't telling me about [04:19] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Yeah I know...

[04:22] yaang try using the software center to get python, the cmd didnt work with me either [04:22] question: smbfs has been replaced by cifs, should I use a cifs server instead of samba? [04:22] I have had varied success niglop [04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> Niglop: Most you can. I recall reading an artical a few months ago that one programmer managed to make a massive driver contribution that cover almost all of them [04:23] niglop meaning that it will either work or it won't work [04:23] Can i reinstall sudo [04:23] JUST sudo? [04:23] i need help === Guest12472 is now known as DarkDevil [04:23] i triedd to fix it with the livecd, but that bothered me [04:23] Jasonn, reinstall sudo? [04:24] yes === DarkDevil is now known as Guest37352 [04:24] JUST sudo [04:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Jasonn: Whats wrong with the one you have? [04:24] * rww bites tongue [04:24] Jasonn, you removed yourself? [04:24] Jasonn: did you manage to learn to open and edit the correct /etc/sudoer file? if so do you know what is needed to be added to make it work for your user? [04:25] nope [04:25] Jasonn, nope to whom [04:25] ya got yurself into a pickel [04:25] to sacarlson [04:25] Jasonn, then kindly prefix his nick in your responses [04:25] sorry [04:25] so just type su [04:26] and readd yourself? [04:26] su = same thing as sudo? [04:26] no [04:26] Jasonn: so I assume the nope was for the first question. did you manage to find a way to know what disk you normaly boot from and how to mount that partition? === repnop_ is now known as repnop [04:26] it just makes you login as root [04:26] megana: i messed up the sudoers file [04:26] logging in as root is not the same as sudoing [04:26] hey guys, question on using crontab. I have the following line: 01 04 * * * /var/www/cron.php under crontab. But for some reason my server never runs the cron. I'm using apache server. Anything blatantly obvious about this problem? [04:26] don't manually edit the /etc/sudoer file, use visudo [04:26] megana: the root account is not enabled on Ubuntu by default, and enabling it is not supported in this channel. Therefore, su won't work here. [04:26] sacarlson: yeah, i got that, and i replaced the file with another one that i wrote up [04:27] sacarlson: it didnt work though [04:27] psion, hes been told numerous times [04:27] Jasonn: ok pastebin that file so we might get an idea what error you may have made [04:27] psion, this is awesome ;D [04:27] bazhang: my apologies [04:27] the boxee remote is perfect [04:27] psion, just a fyi [04:27] megana: which boxee remote do you use? [04:27] the dlink one [04:28] sacarlson: It said that it had the wrong file ID or something [04:28] it has the keyboard on the back that I will probably never use [04:28] Jasonn, paste.ubuntu.com <---- exact error [04:28] megana: nice, I use boxee too, in fact I'm watching it right now. I really want a remote though, right now I just use my android phone [04:28] and it smells like a new mother board [04:28] megana: can you buy that seperately from the device? [04:28] psion, I don't have a boxee just the remote :( [04:28] This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but does anyone know how to adjust the bit settings in GIMP? I'm trying to save an 8-bit .png, but I can't find out how [04:28] Jasonn: at what point do you see this wrong file id failure? [04:28] bazhang: i closed the window by accident [04:28] EmuAlert, tried #gimp ? [04:29] megana: I don't have a boxee box, I just run it in linux on my HTPC [04:29] sacarlson: when i had already replaced the file, had to make a new one because it was read-only [04:29] bazhang: I'll go check that out [04:29] Jasonn: we should also take a look at your fdisk -l to verify you are modifing the correct file on the correct partition [04:29] I programmed one :P [04:29] megana: where can I find that remote seperate from the dlink boxee thing? [04:30] sacarlson: yeah, i had because i saved a file on this HDD (partition) and then [04:30] I bought it at J&R [04:30] megana: I salivated over pictures of that remote [04:30] do you live in manhattan? [04:30] nah, indiana [04:30] sacarlson: is su the same thing as sudo? [04:30] Jasonn: oh IC you must have the security set correctly on the sudoer file or it will not work [04:30] I guess you will have to order it through the mail then [04:30] Hello, is there anyway to disable the gnome-terminal automatically opening a new window on right click? [04:30] Jasonn: no, sudo allows a program to be run as root without su'ing [04:30] Thank you [04:30] Jasonn: yes su is the same it uses the /etc/sudoer file also [04:31] Ok [04:31] http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DSM-22-Boxee-Remote/dp/B00480OSVK [04:31] thank you sooooooooooo much [04:31] brb ill report with my problem :) [04:31] megana: awesome, thanks [04:32] Jasonn: do you know how to set security with chmod? and chown? you should modify the correct /etc/sudoer to the correct security level to operate [04:32] psion, how do you put files into your htpc??? [04:33] <_genuser_> hey people [04:33] <_genuser_> anybody around? [04:33] no [04:33] megana: it's networked [04:34] so you just stick it in a file system? [04:35] megana: yeah, I have a couple of external drives hooked up to a net top (eeebox b202) and I have boxee scan a few folders in them for media. when I download stuff, I download them to those folders [04:35] ill give someone a dollar to tell me how to mount a .bin/.cue files. mount them as a cd [04:35] megana: well it's an application that can run in linux/windows/osx [04:35] megana: boxee that is [04:36] brandon420 mount it using iso-something as the file system type [04:36] brandon420: what format is your .bin file in? [04:36] hello, can someone tell me if ubuntu ppa's use the concept of secure apt like in debian or the packages are unsigned? [04:36] and it has to use some kind of loop back option too [04:36] megana, i tried that. didnt work to well. sacarlson im not sure, its a game. [04:36] niooins: The packages are signed. The GPG key is automatically added if you use add-apt-repository or (I think) Software Sources, and is listed on the PPA page on launchpad. [04:37] brandon420: are you sure it can be mounted? [04:37] brandon420, so you told it to loop? [04:37] yaaang, did you solve your problem [04:37] brandon420: you can convert it to an iso with ccd2iso [04:37] sacarlson, if i was on windows, i would be able to mount it with deamontools [04:37] and i have the iso [04:37] sougata_: no [04:38] but when i mount the .iso, its mounted as a folder, not a cd [04:38] rww: thank you [04:38] should be able to play with vlc [04:38] brandon, but you wouldn't because daemons tools is bad. :P [04:39] Cryptic, thats video iso [04:39] you have to add multivers to your soure.list [04:39] brandon what do you mean mounted as a folder? [04:39] megana, but ubuntu gives me the option to not care that its bad [04:39] its mounted as a folder [04:40] /media/nfs [04:40] yaaang, what are you running , I mean which ubuntu version [04:40] everything is mounted as a folder o_O right?? [04:40] brandon420: sounds like an iso file then, what error do you get when you do losetup /dev/loop0 example.img ; mount /dev/loop0 /home/you/dir [04:40] brandon420: http://maketecheasier.com/mount-iso-bin-and-cue-files-from-nautilus/2009/05/23 [04:40] brandon420: those will require sudo [04:41] imma try psions link [04:41] give me about 5 mins [04:41] shit man [04:41] i just wanna play some old school nfs [04:42] brandon420, no cursing [04:43] sougata_: 10.04 [04:44] how can i show where apt-get will install some packge? [04:44] bezao: you can look with synaptic in properties as where each file in the package is installed [04:45] sacarlson cant i say to apt-get instala apache in /bla/apache instead of the default path? [04:45] bezao: oh and this will only work after you have installed not before [04:45] OK [04:45] I think i might have done it [04:46] but i need to know how to save and esit via the "visudo" command [04:46] i did not understood sacarlson [04:46] bezao, for the most part, just let the system install stuff where it needs to go [04:46] Jasonn: Is there a line of stuff on the bottom? (^X ^O, etc) or not? [04:46] yaaang, apt-cache serach python-profiler shows nothing ?

[04:47] cant* i [04:47] <_genuser_> anybody having issues with youtube after latest system upgrade on netbuntu?

[04:56] what's the "problem"? [04:57] you can add a multitude of things to any panel [04:57] EricBlade : Right click it and "Add to panel" [04:57] There is tons of apps that go into the panel [04:57] exit [04:57] yeah, but the problem is, it's empty space. i don't want empty space, i want the taskbar to take ita ll up [04:57] !wtf | EricBlade [04:57] EricBlade: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:57] morgan, very strange... never run into that issue before [04:58] I'm not really sure what you're asking. As your resolution increases there will be empty space in the bars. [04:58] ok, the taskbar should not be a fixed width [04:59] i added a second taskbar to the second monitor, and it's got a giant amount of empty space on the left and right of it, whereas on the main monitor it's only on the right [04:59] Come on, anybody know how or if there's a way to do that? (see previous questions) [04:59] hi need help finding out what wireless network adapter i have [04:59] I have a crontab question. As an introduction to using it, I was told to run 2 commands using cron. Do I have to put the commands into a script or can I just have it run the comman in terminal? [04:59] hi all.. How the more recommended version of kernel to ubuntu as virtual machine (VMware ESXi) ? 2.6.x.x-server or 2.6.x.x-virtual ?

[05:00] Koong, please ask [05:00] jiltdil: sorry for that man, its just been a long day, my comp crashed today - twice ..

[05:01] I'm using ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 on my hp netbook, i'm facing this problem of the panel and taskbar not working. [05:01] login. black screen. beats the drums. back to login screen. [05:01] jiltdil: plus, it was just a friendly-reminder [05:02] i can ctrl alt f1, login. stop the gdm service. startx, and i'm on. [05:02] jasonn: ok sorry [05:02] i had put the panel orientation at the bottom, and set it to auto hide. [05:02] now it's just stuck there. [05:02] there has got to be someone here that knows what i should do, or point me somewhere heh [05:02] Flannel: maybe I phrased it wrong. What I meant was, if I want cron to execute, say, the "date" command in terminal.. would I need to put the date command into a script in order for cron to run it? [05:02] when my laptop wakes up after suspend to RAM my touch pad doesn't work anymore. restarting X does not help. even reboot doesn't help. only if i shut it down, then restart it, the touchpad works again. what can i do against that? [05:02] IMy desktop environment is ubuntu desktop edition. [05:02] aha, had to delete both of the taskbars, and create two new ones, making sure that i clicked "Add To Panel" in the very first left hand pixel of each one [05:03] In 10.10 using fglrx video driver, kernel updated from 2.6.35-25 to -27, boots to terminal in -27, boots to gnome in -25, How to fix?

[05:03] its a blank bar [05:03] hi [05:04] !panels | Koong [05:04] Koong: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:04] BaconAttack: 'date' itself doesn't make much sense. You want to incorporate it into another command I presume? [05:04] Is there some way to mod the .xinitrc file to open up specific programs on specific desktops?

I know the scheduling part. I'm just confused to how I actually get terminal commands to run via cron. [05:06] edbian, well, ill look around [05:07] Abhijit i pressed ctrl alt f8 and now its a black screen with a blinking white line [05:08] what do i do next? sorry, im new to ubuntu. [05:08] I'm having an installation issue. Is anyone available to help? [05:08] BaconAttack: Oh, you just throw them in the command portion of it. I guess he expects you to check your mailspool to see its output?

[05:09] What should i do next? [05:09] Koong, i ddnt siad ctrl alt f8 that was for returning [05:09] <_genuser_> so is anyone having issues with youtube after latest update?

[05:09] now im back to the desktop [05:10] the panel is gone now [05:10] Flannel: He was suppose to give us a tutorial on how to use it but then decided last minute that we should figure it out. Here is part of the instructions. "In order to document the success of your task, take a screenshot of the terminal that shows the output of your cron job over at least 2 executions (4 minutes)." [05:10] Hi, I'm looking for a software that shows me the audio frequency graph of a video, so I can make loops in both audio and video. Any suggestions??

[07:33] asdfqwer i dont know the card, how do i find out? [07:33] doesn't matter [07:33] dtrf4837, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com [07:33] ubuntu should be able to detect the recommended driver [07:34] dtrf4837, does it not make a recommendation? [07:34] parapan, by dvd format, you mean iso? or what [07:34] bazhang: DVD format = Video and Audio folders / structure [07:34] asdfqwer no it just says 'no proprietary drivers...' and nothing else [07:34] dtrf4837, tell us the card please [07:35] How can I find out how much of a hard drive is used in ubuntu server [07:35] dtrf4837, type this in terminal [07:35] bazhang how do i find out what card?

[07:39] milamber: indeed [07:40] milamber: and I want them on the same disc [07:40] if not, I got a project :-) [07:40] parapan: what are the total sizes for the filesystems? [07:41] re-opening additional drivers isnt going to show any new drivers if there arent any.. dtrf4837: try googling for that card and drivers, my guess is that the card is not fully supported. [07:41] asdfqwer there's a long square and underneath theres a big square, then on the bottom it says 'help' and 'close'. theres also 'enable' but its not activated so i cant click on it [07:41] milamber: 3,7 Gb [07:41] dtrf4837, yes just enable it [07:41] will probably require you to restart gdm or reboot altogether [07:41] parapan: if you are going to play them on a computer you can just burn them directly. are you trying to create one movie? [07:42] milamber: I want them - both movies - to be able to play in a standalone ....not PC [07:42] dtrf4837: is there any list of alternate drivers mentioned in that window? [07:42] salut ubuntois [07:43] dtrf4837: if it is blank, it means there isnt any alternate driver to offer [07:43] parapan: does the target support dvd format?

[09:59] pwd? [10:00] sandking: it prints the working directory (to terminal) [10:00] sandking: locate might show these files because it has not updated its locate db yet [10:01] sandking: 'sudo updatedb' will update de locatedb. After that locate probably won't find the files [10:02] i cant get back the desktop [10:02] oCean, problem is files disappeared after faulty copying [not moving] of files so i assume they should be somewhere [10:02] photorec recovered some wav files but not the one i was looking for [10:02] dtrf4837: try Ctrl+Alt+F7 [10:02] sandking: if you want to trust the results of locate you might want to run 'sudo updatedb' anyway [10:03] yeah, i started it [10:04] could something like this be used to intercept a luks or truecrypt passphrase: http://www.castledragmire.com/Posts/BIOS_Level_Key_Logger [10:04] oCean, ok, i did update and it still shows these files! spooky ;] [10:04] sandking_: type 'history' and see if you can track what you did [10:04] and i use sandking@sandking-1001PX:~/Desktop$ locate '*.wav' [10:05] 97 locate '*.wav' [10:05] 98 sudo updatedb [10:05] 99 locate '*.wav' [10:05] Ubuntu sux.

[10:06] I have 10.10 [10:06] sandking_: I meant to search your history for the 'move' commands that went wrong. Use pastebin multiple line pastes [10:06] Fwb2700, no, i was talking about what i pasted :] [10:06] Yes [10:06] oCean, oh, that happened few days ago - in meantime i really tried a lot to recover these files so i can't find what happened :/ [10:06] Fwb2700: use 10.04. [10:07] Stupid killing my boot screens and now I fixed that no wifi [10:07] Arghh [10:07] dtrf4837: are you getting any error messages? [10:07] oCean, and as i see it gives only terminal history - what happened, happened in nautilus [10:07] rigved: I cant get it as I now have no Internet access [10:08] sandking_: in that case it is very hard for us to determine what to do. After updating the locatedb, it should give the actual file locations. Can you show the output of the locate command in pastebin? [10:08] dtrf4837: use Shift+PageUp to scroll the earlier message which are not displayed on the screens [10:09] And dont say I have net as I talking here on iPhone [10:09] rigved i did get an error message when i tried startx. the message i got after ctrl + alt + f7...i dont know if thats an error message....part of it says something is disabled but i cant make it out because it doesnt fit into the screen [10:10] oCean, http://www.pasteall.org/19675 [10:10] and that was after dbupdate [10:10] Fwb2700: i think there are vendors that sell Ubuntu DVDs. these have all the packages, so you do not need to download anything [10:11] sandking_: it does not say Desktop but Downloads. [10:11] dtrf4837: use Shift+PageUp buttons to scroll to the part of the screen that's not displayed [10:11] rigved: Im in nZ not likely here [10:11] i was booting into recovery mode to try and fix my monitor not being detected..i'm thinking that might be the reason why all the text doesnt fit into my screen when in command line [10:11] oCean, ... [10:11] because the resolution is too low [10:11] god almighty [10:12] gksu and ssh -X have stopped working for me in ubuntu 10.10 after a recent update. after I ssh -X, $DISPLAY is not set, but xauth is installed. anyone know what the problem might be? [10:12] ok rigved will try that [10:12] i wasted HOURS trying to figure out how to recover these files [10:12] Fwb2700: might i ask how you got 10.10? [10:12] sandking_: ghehe [10:12] it was 1.5 hrs material for my podcast - recording it again would be tiresome! [10:12] sandking_: another set of eyes can work wonders :) [10:12] oCean, THANK YOU [10:12] sandking_: no problem at all [10:12] rigved its not working....maybe because the part i cant see is on the left part of the screen [10:13] Downloaded it on xp. Then put on DVD now installed 10.10 and wiped xp so now I screwed [10:13] I had them on my Desktop and I must moved it by mistake on the Downloads, not my pendrive while copying or something [10:13] but at least i learned to use photorec, locate and find :D [10:13] Fwb2700: how does the LiveCD hold? does that also give you problems?

Says device not ready [10:14] I have a Compaq presario cq50-115AU [10:15] Fwb2700: and your WiFi card is enabled using the switch on the keyboard? i think there's a command to enable the device...

And it's working fine on wifi no updates [11:25] hi everyone. am using code block to write aa [11:25] stefwal: I will look for that [11:26] milamber would it be best to just reinstall then keep this reference should the monitor not be detected again or should i try to install the driver now even though i cant get into desktop at the moment? [11:26] okei, but I have tried every driver and i cant get i to work [11:26] hi everyone. am using code block to write a c++ application but when i am compiling i am getting sh : permission denied. please anyone can help. thanks [11:26] dtrf4837: i would say delete the xorg.conf you manually put in and then try the tutorial [11:27] darksifer: try ubuntu-devel for programming questions [11:27] opa [11:27] Fwb2700: it's using the generic wifi drivers that come with it. Ubuntu also has drivers for your latop - ath5k and ath9k, you just need to download and install them. this is done automatically during the install if you have the internet enabled [11:27] milamber i can do this without booting into desktop? [11:28] Fwb2700: charge your laptop fully and then connect it to the internet. then install Ubuntu. [11:28] parameter: u near your xp machine? [11:28] Anyway to use win drivers [11:28] yes, it's behnid the wall [11:28] stefwal: thanks [11:28] it's no problem to go to the other computer for me [11:28] dtrf4837: absolutely. linux is the opposite of windows in that regard. since 3.11 windows has been gui based. linux always comes in a command line and sometimes they make a gui :) [11:29] ok, on your ubuntu machine... go to network manager, edit connections, eth0 and share with other computers [11:29] done [11:30] now go to your xp machine and go to control panel>network connections [11:31] okay [11:31] so how do i upgrade kernel to latest - just apt-get upgrade? what about apt-get dist-upgrade? [11:31] double click Local area connection [11:32] milamber how do i delete the xorg? and since i see a bunch of them and i cant recall which, can i just delete them all? [11:32] k [11:32] select tcp/ip properties [11:32] dtrf4837: locate xorg.conf [11:32] dtrf4837: ubuntu no longer ships with one so there should only be one and that will be the one you put there. [11:33] done [11:33] change from dhcp to static and apply addresses as follows: ip address to 10.42.43.100 [11:34] subnetmask: 255.255.255.0 [11:34] dtrf4837: real quick, what is the output of: sudo dpkg -l | grep openchrome [11:34] done [11:34] parameter: gateway: 10.42.43.1 [11:35] yep, done [11:35] primary dns: 4.2.2.1 and secondary to: 8.8.8.8 [11:35] I should leave the dns to be automatically obtained? [11:35] k [11:35] milamber i see a bunch that looks something like this Xorg.0.log, but i dont see xorg.conf...i scrolled to the top with shift+PageUp, still dont see it [11:35] then click ok when done [11:35] how do i use gamepad for supertux? [11:36] dtrf4837: try locate "xorg.conf" [11:36] twiztid, ok and close right? [11:36] to apply the settings [11:36] yup yup [11:36] try that out and lets see if ya get any progress... [11:37] milamber sorry i didn't see the command you asked me to type...trying it now [11:37] well, it seems to be now connected on the windows side [11:37] but the ubuntu 10.10 seems still to be have problems [11:37] (the machine which hosts the internet) [11:38] I could try plugging the cat5 out and in [11:38] parameter: try loading web pages on both machines [11:38] ya wouldnt hurt to replug the cat [11:38] I tried at windows machine, but it didn't seem to work [11:38] is there a way to commandline format a usb drive? [11:38] Elssha: yes [11:38] hallo [11:38] for some reason my ubuntu has it as read-only and won't let me fix it >_< [11:38] still, it seems to have a problem at ubuntu 10.10 side [11:39] does "require ipv4 address" has to be checked for the eth0 card? [11:39] ruan, what's the command? [11:39] it currently is [11:39] lo [11:39] milamber i got 'pkg: unknown uption -1', then some instructions...there might be 1 more letter on left of screen but it doesnt fit in the screen...anyway i dont see any xorg.conf [11:39] how do i use gamepad for supertux? [11:39] Hey all. I need help getting Ardour GTK2 to work on my ubuntu installation. I try to start it and it says that "No Devices found for driver "netJACK". How do I get netJACK? [11:40] strange... uno momento... u can try unchecking it, im not sure if that has any effect... worth a shot [11:40] dtrf4837: -l is a lowercase L, not a 1 [11:40] still, no effects [11:40] maybe I need to use manual sharing? [11:40] on the ubuntu side [11:40] i have a fresh installation with just ubuntu-standard metapackage (no de). im presuming the first thing i do before i add packages is upgrade the kernel and other packages already installed right? [11:41] then gnome-core [11:41] himik, guys. I'm installing application that depends on "libqt4-multimedia", but there is no such package for current lib-qt https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/i386/libqt4-multimedia, what can I do in order to install my application? [11:41] Elssha: you can format it from gparted [11:41] twiztid: this is the output of ifconfig --> http://pastie.org/1635829 [11:41] it won't do it [11:42] as you can see, eth0 does not seem to have ipv4 address [11:42] but only ipv6 [11:42] i click it, it says its formatting, and it's still read-only [11:42] milamber ok i changed 1 to l...i'm checking out the results [11:42] how can i pass a command line argument that starts with a minus? using ticks doesnt work, example: mv "-foo" "foo" [11:43] or is gparted and disk utility diff? [11:43] tunich, maybe \- foo ? [11:43] I am not sure, but it's worth a try [11:43] disable ipv6 in your eth0 network manager settings [11:43] how can i tell which version of kernel ubuntu is running via cli? [11:43] invalid option -- 'f' [11:43] nah, doesnt work [11:44] the method seems to be ignore [11:44] have u tried dhclient eth0? [11:44] Elssha: gparted and disk utility is different [11:44] eth0 --> ipv6 --> method: ignore [11:44] okay, i'll look for gparted then [11:44] Elssha: sudo apt-get install gparted [11:44] visual1ce, you told that to me? [11:44] ya [11:44] nope, I havent [11:45] visual1ce: uname -a [11:45] milamber i looked through it and i dont see any xorg.conf? [11:45] dtrf4837: that is good. [11:45] lol [11:46] Hello [11:46] how do i use gamepad for supertux?

[11:48] !ask | Cradam [11:48] Cradam: 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. :-) [11:48] sup sup yal [11:48] nvm [11:48] oops [11:48] milamber oh yeah i was supposed to delete the xorg.cong!

[11:49] parameter: well it seems that your ubuntu box doesnt have a dhcp server... and xp's client cant connect if the server dont forward an ip [11:49] why oh why freenode chatroom filled with tons of people but no one is willing to chat [11:49] no idea [11:49] dtrf4837: i don't know what command people gave you earlier, but there are plenty of reasons why it may not be there [11:49] Cradam, hold on for a min for me [11:50] twiztid: I tried to install a dhcp server [11:50] No matter what I do, I'm unable to make users from LDAP accessing files/directories that are limitied to group access. Any idea where to start looking for a fix? Removing --mange-gids isn't a solution. [11:50] CooKieMonster: $freenode isnt for social chat [11:50] but it resulted in internet connection loss on my ubuntu box [11:50] milamber could my pasting that post into my xorg.conf have caused me to not be able to boot into desktop? [11:50] pasting and saving [11:50] did you try dhcp3 and fire starter? [11:51] and in the process of setting up a static ip, "sudo ifup eth0" and "sudo ifdown eth0" commands failed [11:51] yep [11:51] I have both installed [11:51] dtrf4837: it's possible. did the desktop ever work after you were done installing? [11:51] bad range, address 192.168.0.100 not in subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 [11:51] ya you need to run "sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server firestarter" [11:52] ^ the output of dhcpd3 [11:52] sorry Cradam, I tracked down the bookmark, but it's for Quake not Quake2 [11:52] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Quake-HOWTO/ [11:52] then: "sudo ln -sf /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server /etc/init.d/dhcpd" [11:52] how do i use gamepad for supertux? [11:52] done [11:52] worked, thanks ruan ^_^ [11:53] parameter: and the "sudo ln -sf /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server /etc/init.d/dhcpd" command? [11:53] milamber yeah, in fact, it actually increased the resolution to 1024x768 at least, but the problem is once i logged off i couldnt get back the desktop [11:53] twiztid, yep [11:53] Elssha: np :) [11:53] ok, sweet... now do: "sudo nano -w /etc/default/dhcp3-server" [11:53] dtrf4837: startx should get you back usually [11:53] hi there [11:54] and INTERFACES="eth0" ? [11:54] parameter edit INTERFACES="" to INTERFACES="eth0" [11:54] yup [11:54] I've already done it [11:54] milamber i figure the resolution went up to 1024x768 because thats what the resolution was for that person who posted that...i think thats where i went wrong...not changing that for my situation [11:54] ok, for shits and giggles run, "sudo dhcpd restart" [11:55] sudo: dhcpd: command not found [11:55] you meant [11:55] dhcpd3? [11:55] dtrf4837: if that worked once i'd say try it again [11:55] probably sudo service dhcpd restart? [11:56] Parameter: * [11:56] parameter: strange... ya try restarting the service... my bad [11:56] as milamber suggested [11:56] bad range, address 192.168.0.100 not in subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 [11:56] seems like my prev conf still is there [11:57] ok edit your wired connection eth0 like this [11:57] IPv4 Settings -> Method: Manual -> Add [11:57] k [11:57] parameter: then, Address: 10.0.0.1 -> Netmask: 255.255.255.0 -> Gateway: 0.0.0.0 [11:58] anyone an expert with LIRC? [11:58] milamber i type startx and i get 2 error messages saying undefined screen 'fp91g'...error parsing the config file...fatal serving error...no screens found...ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log...etc. [11:58] parameter: then make sure Available to all users: [x] [11:58] okay [11:58] and what about "require ipv4 address" ? [11:58] hi [11:59] how to find files created less than one minute ago (using CLI) ? [11:59] leave checked for now...

[12:02] maxagaz: in unix creation time is not recorded; you can find files modified less than 1 minute ago though [12:02] IP address is assigned by DHCP: [x] [12:03] I don't see that there [12:03] I see "Enable DHCP for the local network" [12:03] maxagaz: someone in #bash already told you this ...

[12:17] twiztid, unfortunately, it seems to be still not connecting [12:17] anyways, thanks for the help, again [12:17] parameter: damn well my next suggestion is instead of forwarding ip's you can bridge your ppp and eth0 connections together for the same effect of ICS [12:17] true, you could even install alpha3 [12:17] staar2: [12:17] staar2: sorry [12:17] well, I gotta go now [12:17] javahorn: nothing. It was fixed in 10.04. But in the bugs at LP, there are sometimes workarounds. [12:18] I'll try bridging if I have the chance [12:18] javahorn: the issues differ per hardware config i guess [12:18] bye [12:18] dtrf4837, but I think you can just ditch your xorg.conf and it will make a new one [12:18] theres a bridging utility to join the two... no worries... heres a small tutorial on the matter: [12:18] oCean: praying this time i am lucky, reinstalling 10.10 [12:18] javahorn: fingers crossed :) === mathias is now known as Guest18909 [12:19] ok, nvmind... now so eager to get it connected i guess [12:19] oCean: heads down, eyes closed for more brightness, let there be light [12:19] :) [12:19] so, back to my question... lol [12:20] anyone remember the name of the program that allowed installing operationg systems to devices such as mp3 players to boot to?

[13:31] right, so now i have two ubuntu - say in /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5. my question is 'grub-install /dev/sda' installs grub2 into mbr. OK. But where is it going to look for it's grub.cfg on startup? in /dev/sda2/boot/grub/grub.cfg or /dev/sda5/boot/grub/grub.cfg? as i understand grub.cfg is _not_ part of MBR === root is now known as Guest84073 [13:31] ashworth: one of the os's controlls grub.. it uses that os's grub files.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:14] citrus5252342: calm down. version 7.10 is not supported anymore, upgrade. [14:14] no I did not tried the 11.04 yet [14:14] citrus5252342: and someone has also asked you a question that you didn't answer, as far as i can see. [14:15] etzerd: ive often found teh most issues with 'brand new' laptops - 4rember that 10.04 is like 6 months old in most things. [14:15] Somehow my root password for MYSQL has been changed and now I;m unbale to change it back or reinstall MysQL [14:15] etzerd: dude that sounds like that is a good starting place [14:15] wish you luck fidyduce [14:15] etzerd: if 11.04 has the same issues. be SURE to file a bug report on 11.04 and hope it gets fixed. [14:15] etzerd: same to you brother [14:16] intel 830m, biggest sony chipset, linux doesnt support it [14:16] ok I will try the 11.04 [14:16] "FreeNX is a system that allows you to access your desktop from another machine over the Internet."

[14:16] let me go download it [14:16] brb [14:16] hey all - I just rebooted and now my nat isn't working, nothing has changed, tried different cables, check iptables... no luck [14:16] citrus5252342: it would be more of an issue of 'intel supporting that chipset for linux' Intel had some issues with making linux drivers for some of their chipsets available for linux. [14:17] bullgard: #freenx [14:17] bullgard: its own afaik; that is what it makes it ( so they say ) faster then native X ( over ssh or not ) and VNC [14:17] bullgard: freenx was a lot faster then vnc.. if you could get freenx or the other ???nx's going. [14:17] Somehow my root password for MYSQL has been changed and now I;m unbale to change it back or reinstall MysQL [14:18] can someone help me reinstall mysql. [14:18] opensorcerer: perhaps rembve with the purge option., and reinstall it.. [14:18] erUSUL: Ok. Thank you for explaing. [14:18] opensorcerer: you just need to change the password, hang on [14:18] opensorcerer: or boot to rescue mode, and set a new password with the proper mysql commands. [14:18] i recently updated some maverick packages, then I had an apci problem which I fixed with a reinstall, but I seem to be stuck at runlevel 2 [14:18] opensorcerer: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html [14:18] how do I change the runlevel at next boot to be 5 [14:18] Dr_Willis, Is that the same as completely remove option when done in Synaptic? [14:18] !runlevels | jwhisnant [14:18] jwhisnant: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [14:18] jwhisnant: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels. - You mean to say X is not starting? [14:19] Dr_Willis: Are you going to tell me that it is hard to set up FreeNX so that it will be operational? [14:19] opensorcerer: make sure mysql is stopped, then start it this way: sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables & [14:19] bullgard: i foubnd the wiki page confuseing and wrong in places.. i was able to get it going.. once... [14:19] bullgard: that was about 5 mo ago. the docs may be better now. [14:20] then do: mysql -u root mysql and then UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpass') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit; [14:20] bullgard: now a days i just ssh in and use x forwarding. [14:20] fruitwerks-web, I tried all that and sice it failed I tried removing mysql-server package completely by using the remove competely option(along with config files) from Synaptic.. [14:20] Dr_Willis: I found an Ubuntu help page that is relatively new- [14:20] opensorcerer: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/442 [14:20] bullgard: one issue i had was that there were like 2+ differnt 'free' nx variants ouit. so the docs sort of jumped around. [14:20] fruitwerks-web, Then I tried reinstalling it, then it all went fine untill the root password setting screen, where it gave me an error.. [14:21] Dr_Willis: I read that the option -XC is even more promising. [14:21] opensorcerer, or apt-get --purge remove mysql-server, will get ride of the server and its config files so a reinstall wil bring defaults [14:21] bullgard: for X forwarding over ssh? [14:21] opensorcerer: try what I just said [14:21] ok, when I start my computer after I did the most recent package upgrades, I get a login prompt; how do I fix it ? [14:21] fuck i'm stoned [14:21] is there a way for me to run the "dd" command without "sudo", whenever i use the prefix "sudo" the resulting file structure is RO for me when mounted as just a usb, or even when the usb has been booted i can not make any changes. all i need to do is add on more file to the usb after the iso is installed can someone help me please..... [14:21] Dr_Willis bullgard: FreeNX was confusing and hard to get working 4 years ago. TeamViewer is a lot easier [14:21] Dr_Willis: Yes.

(in stead of opening gnome-terminal, and then the app) [16:15] ruan is it supposed to be empty after you just installed ubuntu? [16:15] waxrose, i will check that out, thanx [16:15] dtrf4837: not sure [16:15] hylian, It allows you to quickly launch applications and no problem. [16:15] waxrose, no. i want to make a menu link to programs like nano, mocp, etc. [16:16] oh [16:16] Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~$ sudo cd /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh [16:16] [sudo] password for friendishan: [16:16] sudo: cd: command not found [16:16] friendishan@craptast:~$ [16:16] friendishan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:16] err.. forgot to use paste === marcos is now known as Guest67322 [16:16] waxrose, what has to happen is that first something like gnome-terminal runs, and then it runs the console only app, like nano. i know it can be done, but i have been unsuccessfull using google to find it. [16:16] sudo cd? [16:16] friendishan: no sudo, no cd and for sure no "sudo cd". just" /home/friendishan/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall/install.sh" [16:16] SEXO [16:17] friendishan: why are you using sudo? Just do Cd, and dont include the install.sh in the file name [16:17] ruan when i see instructions on xorg.conf there's always text in there but mine is always empty so i was just wondering [16:17] hylian, Oh so you just want it to auto run when you open it up?

"gnome-terminal -e 'killall conky'" [16:20] Jasonn: yeah, downloading it now [16:20] Untouchab1e: that would honestly be your best bet [16:21] hylian, Yeah, I figured you just wanted a desktop launcher which you could easily just put in a command and it'll launch it via terminal. [16:21] Jasonn: thanks, ill give it a go [16:21] waxrose, actually, my intent is to make using the console easier by making some apps available in the gnome menu. i am trying to make console shock less prevolent for a certain family member. [16:21] I haved edited the moidprobe blacklist - any way to cause it to be read without a re-boot [16:21] Jasson: friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$ ./install.sh (Enter) friendishan@craptast:~/ymsmiley/smileythemeinstall$ [16:21] MagicJ: you can try rmmod ldmod modprobe http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-doc/2004-June/000599.html [16:22] hylian, Well like I said you could just make desktop launchers that runs those commands. [16:22] friendishan: ok, now type ./install.sh [16:22] i need to edit xorg.conf. the website i'm looking at has text in the xorg.conf. since mine is empty, should i just copy it and paste it in my xorg.conf?

I can't judge how loud sound will be [16:23] waxrose, true, but i like my desktop to be an empty wasteland. anyways, this command does the trick: gnome-terminal -e 'app name', i.e. gnome-terminal -e 'nano' [16:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/576027/ Jasson [16:23] Untouchab1e: remember to verify the integrity of the iso before burning it.

They have a lot of nifty tricks that you may be able to implement.

[16:25] Jasson: I used install.sh twice and the second time it gave error [16:25] i want to install freenx on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) x64, i had problems before when connecting on my last setup, is there anything i should know about the compatibility and a setup guide for this version because i googled and saw many users run into the same problem with this version but i couldn't find an answer [16:25] !md5 [16:25] 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 [16:25] *?

[16:31] aah, sh [16:31] meelu, Maybe I should have fully read you question. I havn't heard of any compatibility issues. Did you try #nx ? [16:31] how do i change it [16:31] your* [16:31] snimavat: usermod [16:31] IL try now [16:31] thanks [16:31] meelu, No problem. :) [16:31] gr8, let me do some googling on it now, thanks a lot [16:31] i just edited 'File: /var/tmp/xorg.conf.XXlf1v8f' and now i need to save it. how do i save it? [16:32] dtrf4837, What are you using to save it? [16:32] snimavat: usermod -s /bin/bash user [16:32] hi, would the retarded behaviour of rubygems installing to /var/lib/gems (which requires root) and then making the installed apps which are symlinked in /usr/bin only readable by the owner (which is, of course, root) be considered a bug? [16:32] waxrose i opened xorg.conf in terminal [16:32] gr8 [16:32] dtrf4837, vim? [16:32] dtrf4837: opened it with? [16:32] snimavat: or "man chsh" [16:33] dtrf4837: why are you editng /var/tmp/xorg.conf/XXxxxxxx anyway? [16:33] i opened it with terminal [16:33] Jasonn: the alternate CD install says "your installation cd-rom coulndt be mounted. This probably means that the cd-rom was not in the drive. if so you can insert it and try again. [16:33] hello I've got some visibility issues on google earth [16:33] dtrf4837, If it was vim then you can type.... ":w" to save the file. [16:33] worked, not it shows me sudhir@domain:~$ [16:34] Dr_Willis because i need to add openchrome drivers. my monitor isnt detected [16:34] dtrf4837, Wait, I mean hit the "esc" key first then type ":w" [16:34] dtrf4837: you use the terminal to run programs.. such as 'editorname /path/to/file/to/edit.txt' [16:34] dtrf4837: you want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf i imagine. but it may be making a tmp file. [16:34] but still when in home directory and i do ls -l I get total 0, but when i do nano ~/.bashrc the file exists [16:34] snimavat: ls -la [16:34] snimavat: ls -al = shows hidden .files [16:35] Untouchab1e: no idea mate, best to ask someone else about this particular issue, i thought the laternate CD might fix it [16:35] dtrf4837, It would be helpful if you told us which editor you opened it in though. [16:35] i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome which was suggested to me [16:35] :) thanks a lot [16:35] dtrf4837: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or similer... [16:35] dtrf4837: so which editor did you use? vi? nano? pico? gedit? [16:36] 4 [16:36] dtrf4837, That is using nano. Use ctrl + x to save. [16:36] waxrose sorry i didnt understand. ok it says 'GNU nano 2.2.4' on top [16:37] dtrf4837, It will then prompt you to save which should be a "y" for yes. [16:37] I have some questions. [16:37] dtrf4837: notice at the bootom it mentions ^h and ^x - the ^ = the ctrl key. [16:37] I'd like to use this machine for tor, so my computers at school can bypass the University's firewall. [16:39] dtrf4837, Next time you edit a file, instead of using sudoedit, you can use some thing such as "sudo gedit" which will open the file in a more use friendly editor. [16:39] Dr_Willis oh ok...but i dont see ^h there [16:39] user friendly* [16:39] dtrf4837: You understand how it works now.. so read whats there and do what you n eed to do> :) [16:39] d [16:39] dtrf4837: if you did not start it with 'sudo' you may need to save the file to your home. then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:40] ok thanks...i was trying to follow what the webpage said to do [16:40] dtrf4837, If you want to save that file and exit then press ---->> ctrl then x ...... "y" for yes to confirm.... and then enter. [16:41] dtrf4837: they assume you know the basics i guess. :) [16:42] Wespe, Why do you want to bypass the firewall? [16:42] hey if i am in terminal and i access xorg.conf from there by typing the command for that, does that mean i am still in that terminal or did i leave the terminal and enter xorg.conf? [16:43] dtrf4837, You are using the terminal to run a program that views xorg.conf [16:43] edbian i see [16:43] dtrf4837, the terminal is not a place (location) it is an app. Like firefox or irc [16:43] dtrf4837, yep [16:43] QUESTION: where is my trashbin? I want it on my desktop [16:43] anyone know what file in lxde/lubuntu is equivalent to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf ? [16:44] ohh [16:44] is it possible to run more than one process at once with terminal? [16:44] yeah [16:44] how? [16:44] ruan, yes, put a & after the command [16:44] stefwal, Either ~/Trash or ~/.local/share/Trash [16:44] if you want to start something in the background do: command & [16:44] ruan, as in firefox& [16:44] edbian: ah [16:44] ruan, yep [16:44] ~/.Trash * [16:44] if you want to have one terminal but be working on more than one thing, use the screen command [16:45] after typing screen, use ctrl+a+c to create a new window [16:45] ctrl+a+a to return to previous window, ctrl+a+n to go to next window === Swish[\] is now known as Swish === nafisa is now known as manca === manca is now known as nafisa [16:45] how do i close a window? === OviQ2G_ is now known as OviQ2G [16:46] waxrose thx [16:46] note that you hold ctrl while pressing both of the keys [16:46] stefwal, No problem. :) [16:46] waxrose: So I can download torrents. [16:46] Hi! Could anyone assist me how to set up my PCMCIA usb2.0 4 ports card? [16:46] ruan, kill that process [16:46] ruan: if you're in a terminal you can hit ctrl+d [16:46] or type exit [16:47] Wespe, You probably shouldn't be downloading torrents from school. But you can ssh tunnel if you want to bypass them. Just get a remote server like your own VPS and just ssh tunnel into it. You will probably spend a lot on bandwidth though. === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [16:47] I don't know how to do that. [16:48] Wespe: just google ssh tunneling, there's lots of guides [16:48] Alright. [16:48] Thanks. [16:49] whats a simple freenx alternative for ubuntu i can setup very easily so i can view from my wndows pc [16:50] vnc ?

[16:51] meelu: there's also vino, a program built in that allows remote desktop. I'm pretty sure it uses vnc and not rdp though [16:51] Hedgehog456, A browser window?

[17:09] DOokami: check bc [17:10] edbian, i mean like 2x1~9999999 [17:11] shcherbak, check bc ? [17:11] DOokami: looking for someone to do your homework for you? [17:11] DOokami, That's the same as 99999999 factorial. 999999 * 999998 * 9999999997 ... [17:11] DOokami: bc - bash calculator, use loop [17:11] bc does _not_ stand for "bash calculator" :P [17:11] drc, no ,, wanna show my bro how "smart" a computer can be [17:11] Random832: hm, but could [17:11] hi can anyone help with vsftp?

[17:15] linux doesn't have a tool to repair NTFS partitions [17:15] aw [17:15] well, i'll return with results [17:15] I think its because i set visual effects to high.. [17:15] now I think is normal i ve set to normal [17:15] dejan_, I am guessing that it is running on high processing. [17:15] so why is this coz of ram? [17:15] waxrose maybe its that the reason.. [17:15] DOokami: one moment [17:16] no [17:16] again [17:16] dejan_, The default Ubuntu tends to be a resource monster so some times.

[17:17] waxrose : i will check in text editror ad report shortly - thanks [17:17] dejan_, Try using chromium-browser and seeing if you experience the same issue.

[17:20] annoys* [17:20] hmm [17:20] anyone else experiencing little freeze when copying text? [17:21] dejan_: How much ram do you have [17:21] ? [17:21] dejan_, Go to system --> administration --> system monitor and check to see if some thing is taking up resources. [17:21] dejan_, all i can think of, is about what source is the txt ? browser ? [17:21] it happens only when I copy text very fast with ctrl+c [17:21] :S [17:21] 1 gb [17:21] sec [17:21] !who | dejan_ [17:21] dejan_: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[17:23] i formated with journal4.. don't remember right name, and made no swap i have 1gb but my resources are free [17:23] dejan_, ext4 [17:23] however i had some erros when installing [17:24] dejan_: 1gb of what? [17:24] waxrose yes I think that, the first option that gave me.. [17:24] Wait a min, where did 1000 people go? [17:24] drc what is lgb? [17:24] dejan_, It's probably wise to always have a swap unless you have more than 4+ gigs of ram. [17:24] dejan_: " made no swap i have 1gb " 1gb of what? [17:24] drc, I believe ram. [17:24] waxrose its a matter of time when I reinstall it I had no experience with formmating [17:25] also tell me what kind of format should I use? [17:25] drc : 1gb of Ram [17:25] 100 gb hdd [17:25] dejan_, You typically should stick to the default until you gain experience in formatting partitions. [17:25] dejan_: swap is used during hibernation. so it should always be created [17:25] waxrose : what is default ? :S [17:26] waxrose: thought so but was just checking...loose track sometimes in this volume :) [17:26] Ubuntu should now default to ext4 and provide a swap if I am not mistaken. === [Pilif12p] is now known as Pilif12p [17:26] +1 [17:26] drc, It's fine, I lose track all the time as well. lol [17:26] hi, I'm trying to make an install usb for 10.10 and it won't work [17:26] rigved yes I know now but what about formating options what formating should I choose? fat32 fat16 ext4 what they differ in? [17:26] Elssha, On Ubuntu or windows? [17:26] i tried it on both [17:26] neither works [17:26] +1 [17:27] ext4 for ubuntu [17:27] dejan_: ext4 for / and linux-swap (also called swap area) for the swap [17:27] i changed my boot up sequence to have the usb flash boot first [17:27] Elssha, Did you try to Ubuntu "startup disk creator"? [17:27] yes [17:27] oin #ubuntustudio === Guest72712 is now known as DarkDevil [17:27] dejan_, You can read all about the on Wikipedia. It's a major area of computer science research. ext4 is best for Ubuntu to sit on though. fat 32 and fat 16 have limiting file sizes for example. [17:27] as well as the windows method [17:27] Elssha, Oh so you are just having problems actually booting it? === Guest92789 is now known as LjL-Temp [17:27] yup [17:27] rigved ok thanks, and swap on special partitions for the swap or? [17:27] dejan_: give swap atleast 2 GB and make sure that it's at the end of the hdd [17:27] when i went into windows it looked like it was all good === DarkDevil is now known as Guest67092 [17:27] i think i will learn of these things [17:27] <[TK]D-Fender> Elssha: Did you choose to try booting off USB? Did you get some kind of error you could share with us? Any kind of information at all? [17:28] dejan_: yes, there is a special option for swap === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest57979 [17:28] sry bothering but why is this happening why pc freezes [17:28] Elssha, Try restarting then pressing the key that brings up your boot options. Typicall it is either F8 or F12. [17:28] only error i get is that it goes into the normal boot log vs booting from it [17:28] when i use ctrl_c fast to copy text [17:28] typically* [17:28] In pavucontrol what does "set as fallback" means?! [17:28] try unbootin [17:28] it happens no matter if i copy text or no when i pres ctrl-c combo pc freezes for 1 sec [17:28] anybody knows how to make dssi-vst work? [17:29] !ubottu [17:29] Hi!

[17:31] :D [17:31] !package libgtk [17:31] :S [17:31] what is that cmd [17:31] Elssha, Like I said, try to restart your computer and press the key that starts up the boot process which is either F8 or F12. If not then you may need to try to format the usb and reinstall Ubuntu on the usb [17:31] I think it might just check if there is a shortcut set for those keys [17:31] for browsing apt [17:31] okay, i'll try [17:31] anyone know how to burn img? [17:31] Do someone have a link to commands in terminal?

[18:40] BINGO! fixed it [18:40] erUSUL, http://imagebin.org/141328 [18:40] i uninstalled pango-graphite [18:40] kahen`: congrats [18:40] you *really* really want to get rid of that package [18:40] IT BREAKS X! [18:40] what is pango graphite [18:40] ruan, no I dont [18:40] jt13: now right click n the unallocated space and create a new logical partition [18:41] hmm i dont have pango-graphite installed [18:41] jt13: then format it to ntfs [18:41] there is volume, bluetooth.. [18:41] Hi all, I have a couple of questions. First off, sometimes it seems like my username/logoff button area gets corrupted. Anyone else notice this? [18:41] can anyone recommend a good guide to align an ssd for ubuntu [18:41] !ssd [18:41] Like the username tries to print twice [18:41] every time i boot ubuntu it wants to scan my hdds for errors. i don't know why as I always am able to correctly shut down. how can i track down this problem? [18:42] stowoda: can you still connect though? [18:42] erUSUL, ok, just to make sure i am understanding, i resized the partition so that now there are the two logical partitions in one. the swap will still work as it should and the other ntfs will be mountable to either of my operating systems right? [18:43] ruan: yes [18:43] xptical: this happens to me but it is 'cause I have some effects with Compiz [18:43] ruan: i only figured out to uninstall it because i happened to remember i had recently installed it as part of installing some ttf-sil-* fonts [18:43] ruan: I am connected right now [18:43] basically *dumb luck* that i could fix the system [18:43] anybody have an idea on the camera problem [18:43] stowoda: you can access connection manager from system > preferences [18:43] this package needs to either be fixed or nuked from orbit [18:43] jt13: yes; but one caveat we moved the swap around so maybe you have to change the uuid listed in /etc/fstab to match the new one [18:43] Ok. I got it [18:43] !uuid | jt13 [18:43] jt13: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [18:43] stowoda: i'm not sure about wireless settings though [18:44] giiker Do you know which options cause this? [18:44] stowoda: there might be a seperate program for that [18:44] How do I unrar something? I could have sworn it was just unrar filename [18:44] But it's saying I have to use commands [18:44] ruan: ok. understand [18:44] So I tried rar -e Filename and it's still not working :[ [18:44] iCyrus: man unrar says it's "unrar e filename" [18:44] iCyrus: unrar x filename [18:44] or unrar x if you want directories [18:45] oh [18:45] erUSUL, cool. I learned something new, last question. which would be my best option to format the unallocated? it is strictlly for multimedia storage [18:45] Without the -, sorry! [18:45] 7z can unpack .rar files too i think [18:45] kahen`: it can, if it has the p7zip addon [18:45] hi guys, I am trying to back up a large file (1+GB) with rsync, how would I get it so that only the updated portions of the file are copied? I used a cdrom to copy the file to the destination folder, and now want to use rsync to just update it. Thanks! [18:45] I'm used to commands being [dash]letter XD [18:45] xptical: you might be able to fix it if you had made changes in Compiz, have you made any changes.cuzstomizations to COmpiz before?! if not it might be something else [18:45] jt13: well if it has to be for windows and linux the only sane choice is ntfs [18:45] personally i always use 7z for .zip files. unzip is stupidly broken [18:45] maybe I should restart my os? [18:45] stowoda: you can try that [18:45] erUSUL, ok then, Thank you for all of your help. === 14WAAVNRD is now known as semoua [18:45] giiker This is a fresh 32-bit install with no Compiz changes at all.

I have no idea what Im looking at when I go into mnt. Its like the partition is tucked away deep in my hard drive somewhere... [20:34] ThinkT510, I dont know enough to explain it well.

[20:48] Warwolt: did you say this was a new WinXP install? if so, could you delete the windows partition, use gparted to create partitions, then reinstall windows in a 40 GB or so partition (depending on your needs)? [20:48] Gateway totally F***ed up my system, they deleted my linux partion and now I have a messed up grub how to i get the rid of the ubuntu listinings that arn't there and change grub so windows is the default so Gateway doesn't do something stupid like this again [20:49] fadax, experiment with it, lotsa -vvv and maybe sudo, see 'man lspci' [20:49] how did i not explain that right? [20:49] fstab??

[20:55] battlehands: remember when we were partitioning it? the 81gb was the size of your windows partition, just before that was a tiny restore partition, and file system refers to / of the linux partition [20:56] naryfa: bash works in ubuntu. you have been asked to provide specifics so people could help. repeating your question over and over without providing anything that is asked for is not going to get you any help. [20:56] <[deXter]> ubun: I meant bleachbit, sorry [20:56] deXter: I don't know, I just got it back today, and tried to boot up in to my linux partions, and found out that from a live cd that those partions were no longer there.

[21:14] fadax, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/README/index.html [21:15] naryfa: functions allow you to modularize your code - so if you wrote a complex "whoson" function with lots of lines, you could just type "whoson" (within your script) rather than having to reinvent the wheel every time you need that code [21:15] bastidrazor: but i don't understand why the command "update-grub" doesnt update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg with new kernel ? [21:15] dagni: how did you install the kernel? via synaptic? [21:15] ThinkT510, ok. I think I`ve got it: System Reserved was created when I installed Windows in order to restore Windows if necessary. 81 GB File System is my Windows partition. There is no "Ubuntu Partition" displayed while I`m in Ubuntu, because I`m IN Ubuntu. The file partition we created is somehow linked to the Ubuntu partition, so it shows up as a folder because its a "directory" instead of an actual drive. Close? [21:16] bastidrazor: apt-get upgrade [21:16] can anyone help me to upgrade my alsa driver to 1.0.9 ? I'm on 10.04 and I have no luck compiling the driver myself, the configure command gives me NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED and make fails [21:16] can I upgrade from a package maybe? [21:16] yeats: I see, let me just underline that this is an example from "A Practical Guide to The Unix System" by Mark Sobell [21:16] thanks durt [21:16] my current alsa version is 1.0.21 [21:16] i can't find it on that list though [21:16] but the 485M isn't on the list so maybe i have that [21:16] ivov, have you checked in the #alsa channel? [21:16] dagni: did apt-get fail? it should have added the kernel without you having to do anything. [21:17] battlehands: good so far, the ubuntu partition is the one called file system because you are in ubuntu [21:17] hmm I was about to, but I think the problem might be that I'm using ubuntu [21:17] I'll check there now as well [21:17] ivov, I compile on my system but for me I need to know the name of the card [21:17] hi [21:17] can i move just directories and not files? [21:17] bastidrazor: it ended succesfully without any errors [21:17] ThinkT510, and the file partition was created as a directory instead of a "drive"? [21:17] Which video capture card do you recommend for Ubuntu/Linux? [21:17] leapy0yo: you have to add -R to the cp command [21:18] hmm I'm trying to get my acl1200 realtek chip to work [21:18] ivov, I know you will need the alsa.libs alsa-driver and alsa-firmware packages [21:18] after installing 10 LTS, and rebooting i've been dumped into the GRUB command line, and I'm getting "unkown command kernel" any ideas? [21:18] dagni: i have no idea why it wasn't added during the installation process. [21:18] I can compile utils and tools, but not the driver [21:18] guys I have an iso, how do I make it work with wine [21:19] coz_: the problem seems to be in the include files, I get a long list of include errors [21:19] guyss [21:19] ok, gotta go, thanks for information [21:19] Which video capture card do you recommend for Ubuntu/Linux? [21:19] I'll be back soon [21:19] hi [21:19] can i move just directories and not files? [21:19] ivov, the command for the driver is something like ; ./configure --with-cards=nameofyourcard --with-oss-yes/no --with-sequencer=yes/no [21:19] naryfa: good luck - try #bash too [21:19] coz_, disk utility wont let me rename any of the labels of my drives. [21:19] how do i move just directories and not files? [21:19] battlehands: because we added it manually to fstab it comes up as a folder (directory), it would appear as a drive if it was automatically detected (but we made it after you installed ubuntu) === manosone is now known as massroom [21:20] yeats: I need to learn more [21:20] battlehands, did you try the "Edit Filesystem Label" option?/ [21:20] Ok, in big trouble here, i did update-alternatives --config default.plymouth, picked my boot screen and then did an update-initramfs -u Now i can not boot into X at all, not even in recovery mode, anyone have any ideas how i can undo what ever i have done? All i get is the recovery menu no matter what i pick in the grub menu [21:20] coz_, yes and the option is grey`d out [21:20] ThinkT510, so if I added the partition before I was in Ubuntu then it would show up as a drive?

[21:40] it seemed to be relatively common in 9.04, but I'm using 10.10, and I still get a lot of those [21:40] any thoughts on that? the different font options in Appearance only go from "terrible" to "most terrible" [21:40] EricBlade: could be a video card driver issue? [21:41] yeats: i'd say that's probably unlikely, considering it was working fine until a crash about an hour ago, and i'd rebooted a few times over the prior day [21:41] EricBlade: what caused the crash?

[21:43] i have "Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-27-generic" in /boot/grub/menu.lst but when i run "update-grub" the new kernel is not listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg why is that ?

[22:48] dejan_: Ubuntu wouldn't come with Firefox if it weren't good, i think [22:48] Wiesshund: try http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, the 'frugal install' option [22:48] Wiesshund: You can install Ubuntu within Windows using Wubi. I'd normally prefer a normal dual boot install though. [22:48] sivik unfortunately no usb booting is available on this lil POS im tinkering with [22:48] Wiesshund, not sure of any other way then [22:48] LjL :) ok thanks but i have hp laptop and text fonts are small :S [22:49] LjL: It isnt good enough for KDE users tho :( [22:49] Jordan_U yea i kinda dont want windows either, there was an article on doing it with unetbootin but now i cant find it [22:49] anythings better than Internet Explorer though xD [22:49] I have a 500MB usb stick and I want to install ubuntu on it. Is it enough space? [22:49] still not working connor [22:49] dejan_: i think font size can be adjusted... [22:49] LjL should I download additional fonts or? they are noticably smaller then they were in firefox on win xp [22:49] dejan_: press control and scroll up on the mouse.. it'll enlarge the fonts in firefox === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [22:49] bastidrazor LjL thanks [22:50] Wiesshund: Loshki: A "frugal install", as I've heard the term used, is not a full install.

[22:55] dejan_: firefox is better [22:55] Wiesshund: You can install via wubi, then use grub2 from wubi to load the kernel and initrd of the Ubuntu netinstall to completely overwrite windows with Ubuntu. I'm sorry I can't walk you through that in detail at the moment as I need to leave soon. [22:55] dejan_: I only use Firefox, because none of the other browsers have that "force my fonts" option (if one does can someone let me know?) [22:55] Jordan_U ill make a note of that if the no usb thing in unetbootin dont work [22:57] ok thanks all [22:57] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium [22:58] i got this [22:58] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [22:58] Wiesshund: You can probably use unetbootin to boot from the minimal / netinstall image. It's important that it be minimal/netinstall as that loads the installer entirely into RAM so that you can overwrite the (Windows) partition you booted from, while booted. [22:59] ipwnage: are you root ? [22:59] ? [22:59] im the only user on this computer [22:59] Jordan_U yep thats the plan if all goes well :) [22:59] ipwnage: what are you doing?

[23:03] chibihogoshino: sudo apt-get update instead of sudo bash; apt-get update [23:03] its doing what its supposed to be doing now [23:04] ipwnage at near 200 bucks, not worth it to buy the screens [23:04] random hardware Q: is it okay to connect the power and sata to a previously unplugged sata drive in ubuntu much less any other OS like opensolaris?
