[00:00] Angstrom_: wouldn't really be in the scope of this room. [00:00] I've been trying to capture audio with audacity and alsamixer, switching the capture device to the mixer, but it sounds very echoey [00:00] arrrghhh, I believe that the choices listed are the display modes that the card is capable. of. Not sure what 'screen' is referring to. I think it is the virtual software screen. Meaning even if you had the hardware linux cannot support a monitor that is greater than 4096 x 4096 pixels. [00:00] Angstrom_: "stuff" is quite a broad concept ... [00:00] Angstrom_: #audacity is a room [00:00] If #audacity is a room, has users that don't answer, is anyone at their keyboard? [00:00] edbian: sad. well 720p will have to do then. [00:00] ok, I have a flickering/jumpy screen issue. I thought it went away but it didn't. I have the latest graphics driver installed and I've tried switching between the 2 refresh rates it has listed. [00:00] bai [00:01] Angstrom_, that is so vague it is impossible to answer. Do you know what Audacity is used for? [00:01] whats the command to give me root access with nautilus? [00:01] sudo nautilus [00:01] cha0s2358: alt-f2 -> gksu nautilus [00:01] something wrong with the prism for twitter it's broken goes to facebook [00:01] DO NOT use sudo. [00:01] noonian: that's for cli apps. use gksu if it's a gui app. [00:01] think you. i was using sudo gknautilus [00:02] cha0s2358: gksu for gui apps. BE CAREFUL! [00:02] any ideas on how to fix a jumpy screen? [00:02] Stupid question: I have tried to get Maverick installed on a RAID0 system. I have "/boot" on the first disk as non-RAID "ext4". Does the "bootable" flag need to be set to "on"? [00:02] its fine, i'm jut trying to change the actualy directory of my media shortcut folders. [00:02] tooStupid4Linux: nope. [00:03] Muelli: Thanks. I am just doing yet another install as the system would not boot. [00:03] arrrghhh, what is the difference between gksudo and sudo? does gksudo not run the graphics library code with elevated permissions? [00:03] getting error xmls on curl.troblehooting tips? [00:04] noonian: i'm actually not positive on the specifics, but i was told sudo for cli apps, gksu for gui apps (kdesu for kde) [00:04] And for anyone following this sad-saga, the 3rd(!) alternative CD hangs at 73%. Either I have a fault with a drive (CD verifies OK), the ISO (md5 is ok) or there is something else deepy wrong. Back to the USB and a second minimal install. *sigh* [00:05] ok has anyone ever seen this > log into twitter with a prism and it logs me into facebook === insub is now known as |||||||||||||||| [00:05] DasEi: i did use "sudo ufw allow 53/udp" however nmap still gives me "53/udp closed domain" and the c programm fails to bind [00:05] I have a problem with Audacity. When I try to change the playback device to ALSA: default and ALSA: default sound card (0:0), it sounds very tinny [00:06] Try listening to the sound file at http://www.mediafire.com/?db7iytlg1w4h8bg to see what I mean [00:06] chris2: did you disable ufw just for fun? [00:06] How do I change it so that it doesn't sound tinny, it sounds like it's already capturing and playing it back at the same time [00:06] Angstrom_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:07] arrrghhh, ah, it seems like the only difference is that gksudo prevents your settings files from becoming owned by root for whichever graphical program you run [00:07] I used the instructions at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer [00:07] Why isn't anyone answering [00:08] because no one here is familiar with audacity [00:08] Angstrom_: either because we don't like you, or we don't know the answser....take your pick [00:08] th0r, I don't think anybody would hold anything against someone they have just met in a technical support channel [00:08] lol [00:08] what is people recommendation for all-in-one printer / scanners? [00:08] Spirits-Sight: HP. [00:09] arrrghhh: any one? [00:09] Muelli: i don't know how familiar you are with socket programming but i tried using AI_ALL for ai_flags and i still get the "Bad value for ai_flags" error, but i don't think the problem is in the code, because it works for other ports [00:09] Spirits-Sight: i just bought one for my gf, 1 sec [00:09] arrrghhh: uhm no, should i try? [00:09] arrrghhh: i am not usually using ufw so it should be in it's standard state [00:09] chris2: hm. but you are aware that you can't normally bind below 1024 as a user? [00:09] edbian: Well it installed successfully, but now I have the same black screen error when I try to boot from the OS. >.< [00:10] where does vnc saves it's snapshots? [00:10] chris2: worth a short [00:10] nevermind [00:10] Muelli: hm, so you're saying i need sudo priviledges for such a bind? because it does make sense what you're saying [00:10] edbian: I now know how to fix it, but I can't find a way to edit kernel parameters while booting up. [00:11] I have a problem with Audacity. When I try to change the playback device to ALSA: default and ALSA: default sound card (0:0), it sounds very tinny [00:11] Spirits-Sight: photosmart plus. i have an officejet 5610 as well. HP just has a great track record of linux support, unlike some other printer companies. [00:11] Try listening to the sound file at http://www.mediafire.com/?db7iytlg1w4h8bg to see what I mean [00:11] How do I change it so that it doesn't sound tinny, it sounds like it's already capturing and playing it back at the same time [00:11] I used the instructions at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer [00:11] Angstrom_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] arrrghhh: nope, still nothing [00:11] chris2: well. Either UID 0, privileges on the binary or configure yuor linux to allow users to bind below 1024 (not recommended) [00:11] priv's of the app would be my next guess chris2, seems you're looking into that ;) [00:12] Does anyone know of a way to edit kernel parameters before Ubuntu boots, or do I have to make a video of that too? [00:12] Habstinat: just add it to the linux commandline, i.e. in GRUB [00:12] thanks arrrghhh! which one you think better and which one using less use of screen on the device? I trying to do all on computer as I am blind and need to able to use from computer nott screen on device. [00:12] getting error xmls on curl.troblehooting tips? [00:13] Muelli: i see, but i'd need to constantly make debugging on the programm, rebuilding, etc. I am guessing the priviledges wouldn't remain the same upon modification ? [00:13] Habstinat: call bootmenu (left ctrl), press e [00:13] chris2: yeah. probably not. [00:13] Spirits-Sight: well an officejet probably, but both will probably need some initial configuration on the device... [00:13] DasEi: Thanks. I was wondering how to call the bootmenu. [00:14] Spirits-Sight, my roomate has a shiny black one that works well haha no idea what the brand it though [00:15] Hello, I have a question. Why is it, even though I have 7zip installed, when I right click a .zip file and select open with ... 7zip does not come up as an option? [00:15] Muelli: tried running in privileged mode and now it binds just fine, so yes, that was the problem.. nice [00:15] Muelli: thank you [00:15] arrrghhh: thank you for the help! [00:15] chris2: np. [00:15] HeIsRisen: I guess because it doesn't integrate well with the desktop. You have to configure Nautilus to make it show that option I guess. [00:16] DasEi: thank you for the help :) [00:16] chris2have fun [00:16] Muelli, where would I start doing that at? [00:16] HeIsRisen: google. [00:16] HeIsRisen: nonetheless, nautilus should offer you to extract using file-roller .So there should be no need to do that anyway. [00:16] Another stupid question: For RAID0, do the drives have to be the same model and from the same manufacturer (mine are the same size, but one is WD and the other Seagate) [00:16] DasEi: Just rapidly smashed my left Ctrl button a gadzillion times while booting, but I couldn't get to the bootmenu. [00:16] getting error xmls on curl.//troblehooting tips? #shell [00:16] HeIsRisen, all you have done is install the 7zip library [00:17] Habstinat: are you in that ubuntu -os now ? [00:17] What is the deal on Natty? Has it been released yet?? [00:17] automatically file roller can unzip 7zip files [00:17] foobarbecue1: no [00:17] !natty | foobarbecue1 [00:17] foobarbecue1: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [00:17] Stryker: I bet an aweful lot that it does. [00:17] foobarbecue1, it is in alpha 2 i think [00:17] Stryker, so I don't need to install 7zip just the library? [00:17] i am unable to install gdocs extension in open office? [00:17] HeIsRisen, yup [00:17] ooh April. My bad [00:17] thanks [00:18] HeIsRisen, simple as that [00:18] hi, i was wondering if it's possible to share my wireless connection on my netbook running ubuntu with my desktop running windows 7 [00:18] DasEi: Yes, but I can't see anything. I hear the startup congas and can blindly login though. I need to add "nomodeset" to the end. [00:18] Ok, gksu didn't allow what I wanted. Can anyone tell me how to either change the directory of the "icon Folders' For music, videos, pictures, etc. so that they read from /home/media/mpoint/ OR move the "icon folders" to /home/media/mpoint/ so that when bookmarked I can access my ntfs shared storage while maintaning the neatness of the icon folders? [00:18] Stryker, but does file roller see .apk files for Android as archives or will I have to rename them all as .zip [00:18] !ics | samth0mas [00:18] samth0mas: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:18] thank you. [00:19] cha0s2358: have a look in gconf. I bet bookmarks are stored there. but I don't know for sure. You can also check GNOME documentation or have a look at the source. [00:19] HeIsRisen, i am not familiar with android, but i suggest taking the file extention [.apk] off, and see what can unzip it [00:19] anyone can help me ? [00:19] !ask | satyavrat [00:19] satyavrat: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:19] i am unable to install gdocs extension in open office/ubuntu [00:20] DasEi: I think I logged in and I think I'm in a terminal now, but I'm only basing this on the sounds I hear. [00:20] Just to answer myself - no it does not matter if the drives are from different manufacutrers [00:20] Stryker, thanks [00:20] k [00:20] Habstinat: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [00:20] Will do some more digging, is there a 7zip program for linux? [00:20] HeIsRisen, just try it without any modification, and try to make it work, file content matters most to linux [00:20] Muelli, checked with gnome documentation and as of yet found nothing useful and not advanced enough to rewrite the source code for it [00:20] stryker:getting error xmls on curl.//troblehooting tips? #shell [00:21] ndiswrapper is messing up my system. I just reinstalled ubuntu, verified that lsusb was working, then tried again to install a wifi driver through ndiswrapper. it said, "module could not be loaded: error was" and ndiswrapper became unresponsive. now lsusb does not work agian. is there anyway to undo whatever ndiswrapper did, or do I have to do a fresh install of ubuntu again?

[00:21] HeIsRisen: in the repositories is p7zip which integrates into the built archive manager [00:21] DasEi: I can't use Gedit, I'm not getting any screen output :P [00:22] HeIsRisen: .apks are normal ZIP files. Just rename them and unpack... as simple as that. [00:22] Habstinat: sudo nano /etc/default/grub [00:22] Angstrom_, try out the #opensourcemusicians channel [00:22] My system has locked up twice, installed it yesterday. can't even use sysreq + REISUB [00:22] Muelli, it's easy to say, harder to do with several hundered files [00:22] Angstrom_, it's my fav channel for that [00:22] Alot easier using a program that recognizes them as archives off the bat. [00:22] anything i can do to diagnose whats going on? [00:22] HeIsRisen: then do a simple bash line using "unzip" for christs sake. === secoif_ is now known as secoif [00:23] Habstinat: find the line : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX , add nomodeset there .. ctrl+w to save, ctrl+x to exit nano [00:23] DasEi: I can't see the terminal either. If you can tell me how many times I should press the down arrow to get to that line, I could probably do it. === tseug11 is now known as yeik [00:23] Just really started using linux and am trying to get things very similar to my windows setup [00:23] Hi guys, I'm using natty amd64 and for some reason things don't get upgraded after I do a "sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get dist-ugprade', it says there is nothing to upgrade, and I've been getting that for a few months. The reason I'm disappointed is that I want to try the latest Unity code. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you want me to show my sources.list? [00:23] must be root to use getit [00:23] Habstinat: ctrl+alt+F2 [00:23] I theme for android ROMs and bash definitely would not be time efficient [00:23] dasen1: what do yours look like? [00:23] dasen1, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get safe-upgrade might work [00:24] Habstinat: why can't you see terminal ? [00:25] DasEi, He has an nvidia card that Ubuntu does not like. He had to boot the live CD using nomodeset [00:25] oooo... linux audio :) [00:25] edbian: ah, thx for whole story [00:25] DasEi, sure [00:25] I'm trying to get my sound working. When I start up ubuntu 10.10, it plays a drum sound. Then after I login ... nothing. Any ideas? [00:25] * ehidle uses Ubuntu Studio [00:25] DasEi: Something with my NVidia card. I can boot from my Ubuntu USB with the parameter and make changes from there. [00:25] HeIsRisen, the built in archive manager can handle .apk files. I just opened one and also extracted one [00:25] anybody have a good way of diagnosing why a system would suddenly freeze, or a way to look for logs or create logs? fresh install yesterday, just been customizing it up. [00:26] cellis, check the volume in alsamixer [00:26] noonian, then I am doing something wrong ... they register as a file type unknown [00:26] Habstinat: I assume you use lucid or later ? (check grub --version) [00:26] cellis: also see if you are using a theme that doesn't have any sounds associated with it? [00:27] DasEi: 10.10. Downloaded the ISO today. [00:27] h [00:27] HeIsRisen, I may have something installed that is integrating with the archive tool i dont know [00:28] Habstinat: so, give left ctrl another try, its approx a second after the post beep of the box, else it's lil' more complicated, becaus grub has to be updated too, rather we could try something else [00:28] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/Qxw9wNaB [00:28] I found a patch that fixes my problem [00:28] Thanks [00:29] edbian: safe-upgrade doesn't work, apt complains it doesn't recognize that option... [00:29] Habstinat: you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from commandline already ? [00:29] dasen1, oh, sorry. There is an aptitude safe-upgrade. It's apt-get upgrade for apt-get. [00:29] DasEi: Are you sure I can't edit that file while on a LiveUSB? [00:29] hm dasen1. looks good to me... what does 'apt-cache policy linux' say? [00:30] Habstinat: yes, but for the update we need a braoder chroot [00:30] Habstinat: you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from commandline already ?

[00:32] DasEi: I'm not even sure if I logged in correctly on my real OS -- you press enter, then type in your password to log in, right? The OS is running but due to the nomodeset problem I can't see anything. [00:32] Habstinat: while we are talking, are you on the same box ?? [00:32] Muelli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/576719/ [00:33] DasEi: Yes. I just booted from my USB when you asked me to run that command. [00:33] hm. dasen1. It should show 2.6.38.5.19 or so. Does the apt-get update fully work? [00:33] Habstinat: that can't work. I assumed you speak on one box while typing on the (working) commandline of the buggy one [00:34] hi people, im cleaning this lil netbook for some free space. i removed the old kernels, but i wonder, those 'linux-headers-generic', 'linux-image-generic', without any kernel number like the rest (linux-image-generic-2.35.whatever) , can i remove them too? [00:34] DasEi: If you're asking if I'm chatting from that computer, no. I'm chatting from my iPhone. [00:34] this was my question, fine then , Habstinat [00:34] obiwan___: better not. [00:34] obiwan___: those allow you to upgrade kernels when new ones are released [00:34] oh ok [00:35] I just installed wicd how do I disable the "default" network manager? [00:35] obiwan___: they shouldn't take up any space anyway [00:35] disable/uninstall [00:35] Habstinat: so you're logged in terminal now, so do a : [00:35] sweet ill keep them thank you Muelli and trism [00:35] Habstinat: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg === mahram is now known as copolii [00:36] luxgeek: you can remove nm-applet from startup applications. i wouldn't uninstall it.

[00:37] luxgeek: i thought you said you installed it already... [00:37] ? [00:38] arrrghhh: I have wicd installed, I just haven't put the applet in the panel yet.

It boots, but I get no output from the monitor whatsoever apart from my manufacturer's boot screen. My laptop has a NVidia card, which is causing this. The fix is simple: add "nomodeset" to the end of the boot parameters. I could do this with my LiveUSB by pressing tab to edit, which is how I installed. I can't do this with the actual OS installed though. Left Ctrl does nothing [00:41] Well, it might be doing something, but I get no output on the screen so I wouldn't be able to tell. I am running Ubunu via my LiveUSB right now. === robin is now known as Guest19171 [00:42] Habstinat: k, and now you booted it with the usb ?

[00:45] luxgeek: should have an entry in your menu as well ;) [00:46] claybugg, Then we can simply modprobe and see if it helps.

[01:29] lisandros: you're fine [01:29] read you just fine lisaandros [01:29] lisandros: you're coming through [01:30] DasEi, ChogyDan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/576742/ [01:30] lisandros: just chill out, if someone can help they will [01:30] edbian: interesting.. same message even with firewall off [01:30] Oh, cool, thanks [01:30] chris2, ssh? some problem [01:30] DasEi: It works! [01:30] DasEi: Thanks a whole bunch for your help. [01:30] lisandros: ask the question in full again, with any error messages and anything you have done to try and fix it [01:30] edbian: connection refused [01:31] edbian: i don't get this, it works with localhost [01:31] chris2, odd. I'm not sure! check the config file for ssh I guess [01:31] Habstinat: world stays small, have fun [01:31] RealEyes: ooops, you did have a dpkg running, you gotta run the other command [01:31] chris2, I have to go, good luck! [01:31] edbian: thanks, cheers! [01:31] ChogyDan: What other command? [01:31] Did some more poking around, and dev/shm is owned by root, how can I take it away from that jerk? [01:31] RealEyes: sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:32] :) [01:32] ChogyDan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/576746/ [01:32] I have no idea how to fix this, first of all when i go to enable my hardware drivers, there are not any drivers on the list, then i runned fglrxinfo and the output saied "segmentation fault [01:33] hilarie: sudo chown i think may be what you are looking for [01:33] lisandros: what are you after drivers for? [01:33] mickster04: cd to dv/shm and sudo chown -i? [01:34] RealEyes: oyu friggled around with alien ?! [01:34] DasEi: What? [01:34] hilarie: i don't know the exact command as I aint all that pro, but chown changes ownership for things (ime files and folders) but it may well work for you [01:34] hilarie, what is dev/shm? you might just want to give yourself access to it and keep it owned by root [01:34] RealEyes: reboot? [01:34] ActionParsnip, i want to play HoN and the game just doesn't start [01:34] RealEyes: paste : sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db --dry-run [01:34] !alien [01:34] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [01:34] noonian it's the built in ramdisk, and i want it to be on my desktop [01:35] lisandros: whagt is HoN? [01:35] Just looking for a shortcut of somesort for it to be on my desktop [01:35] hilarie: run: mount is it not already mounted? [01:35] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/576747/ [01:35] ActionParsnip, a game [01:35] you could put yourself in the group and give it full permissions [01:35] lisandros: ok, what is the name of the game [01:35] ActionParsnip Mount dev/shm? I don't think its mounted, its a folder [01:36] ActionParsnip, Heroes of newearth [01:36] RealEyes: no, some other error, alien also likes to do so , sudo dpkg-reconfigure man-db [01:36] hilarie: its actually a file, its a file which represents a block device [01:36] DasEi: I'm having a probably unrelated error installing a driver though. To make the screen resolution better. I need a nonfree driver. I'm able to download it with "Additional Drivers", but when it starts installing I get, "SystemError: installArchives() failed". [01:37] lisandros: great, I suggest you use that in future so we don't need to do the clarification dance. Only use defacto abbreviations like TCP, UDP etc [01:37] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/576749/ [01:37] ActionParsnip I have CD'd to dev/shm and typed in mount, and it says mount tmpfs [01:37] DasEi: Should I just reboot or something? [01:37] DasEi: That xinerama thing MIGHT help if my xorg.conf already existed :P It doesn't deal with having to create it from scratch. [01:37] when I do that, it says mount: can't find tmpfs in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [01:37] Habstinat: in a minute [01:37] ActionParsnip, What do you mean? [01:38] i've been having a lot of trouble with soft hangs in 10.4 lately, where the mouse moves but nothing responds. it just happened, and i see that it coincided with smartbackup doing a full backup. first the disk was pinned, understandably, but now I look at the nas and the fileset is created, and the disk isn't being accessed, but cpu is still pinned and ubuntu won't react [01:38] DasEi: Ok. [01:38] RealEyes: first read, before type : [01:39] lisandros: not everyone knows what HoN is, if you just use the full and proper name, its quicker [01:39] hilarie, if it is mountable you could do: "mkdir ~/Desktop/shm" then "sudo mount /dev/shm ~/Desktop/shm" [01:39] lisandros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giPiqDOU5i0 has a guide to installing the game [01:39] RealEyes: sudo init 1 , will bring you to init 1 , try dpkg repair broken ... from that mini-menu, cmd will log you off , to get back : [01:39] hilarie: you don't need to cd anywhere to run mount [01:39] hilarie, but i dont know what it is really [01:39] I have windows XP and Ubuntu 10 with Grub 2 . After deleting Ubuntu ( data and os partition ) I got the "no such partition: grub rescue>" prompt and couldn't remember if this means that some config files for grub2 were deleted on deletion of ubuntu or if grub2 was deleted. rootnoverify doesn't work for grub2 so do I need to use something like set root=? [01:39] RealEyes: netroot > sudo service gdm start [01:40] hilarie: mount will show the mount point and copying files to the mount point will put the data into the mount point [01:40] hilarie: all the files in /dev are owned by root, when the OS boots the devices are mounted and given access to the users as needed [01:40] Habstinat: which g-card ? [01:40] Why can't I do what I did from my NTFS partition and create a link and put that on my desktop? that option is greyed out [01:41] hilarie: just make a symlink to the mount point on the desktop, the data will be lost on reboot as /dev/shm is a ramdrive [01:41] hilarie: you can own the mountdir to regular user, that work with that [01:42] lisandros: http://forum01.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=177303 [01:42] ActionParsnip, Its not that simple, it just is not working [01:42] Habstinat: which graphics card ? [01:42] DasEi: "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" [01:42] @actionparsnip How do I create a symlink? [01:43] CJO232: you will need to reinstate the ntldr as you deleted the grub config [01:43] Habstinat: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:43] would there be a reason why simplebackup would be keeping the cpu pegged after it had already created the tgz file in a full backup? [01:43] hilarie: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s /mount/point [01:43] Any ideas as to why the Flash plugin for Firefox would cease to display video, and yet still output audio? My younger sister's system is having such a problem. On Youtube, the player does not visually display, even though right-click context menus work, but she can hear the audio of the playing video. [01:43] lisandros: what happens when you try? [01:43] DasEi: Ok. [01:44] Habstinat: there is a block saying partner repos, uncomment the two lines for the deb's [01:44] I tried uninstalling Flash and the plugin, then reinstalling, but the issue persists. [01:44] ActionParsnip, i had mint 8 before ubuntu 10.10 and it worked, why can't ubuntu 10.10 witch is a newer version not work? [01:44] lisandros: thats why mint isnt supported here, its different. what video chip do you have? [01:44] ActionParsnip, Nothing, the screen goes black and back again like a flush [01:44] DasEi: Ok, I did that and saved. [01:45] lisandros: run it in a terminal [01:45] @action Parsnip Ty :) found the forum post :) GKSUDO Nautilus for the win :) [01:45] lisandros: obviously change the /mount/point bit [01:45] ActionParsnip, how do i do that? [01:45] Habstinat: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:45] hilarie: yes, gksudo for any gui app, sudo is not suitable for gui apps [01:45] lisandros: press ALT+CTRL+T [01:45] Habstinat: sudo jockey-gtk [01:46] How do I get a "default" xorg.conf? Don't want to create a blank one since I wouldn't know what to put into it... [01:46] Actionparsnip It un-greyed out the create link within the GUI :D [01:46] luxgeek: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:46] ActionParsnip, i mean how to change the mount/point bit [01:46] DasEi: Thx [01:46] DasEi: I'm currently in the middle of upgrading my system, so I'll run those commands after that's done. [01:47] :) [01:47] lisandros: type it differently, the mount point will be shown in the output of: mount [01:47] is it possible to dual boot ubuntu on a machine already conatining windows 7 without deleting windows 7? [01:47] birdinatux: sure, resize the NTFS and install ubuntu to the free space [01:47] mickster04: Thanks, I am trying to follow those instructions. I cannot believe how hard it is to install Ubuntu.... [01:48] ActionParsnip can the ubuntu installer resize safely or should I use partition magic or something of the sort [01:48] tooStupid4Linux: depends on your mentality and hardware [01:48] birdinatux: Win7 can resize its own partitions [01:49] birdinatux: make sure your backups are sufficiently recent incase of catastrophe === Guest28802 is now known as DarkDevil [01:49] ActionParsnip: I seem to be hitting a collection of bugs/features that are causing me grief. Mostly the alternate CD not working. [01:49] tooStupid4Linux: could try the desktop CD then === DarkDevil is now known as Guest41237 [01:50] hey all.... anyone have problems with the Broadcomm B3/B4 drivers? [01:50] DasEi: Well, if that was supposed to do anything...I am unable to tell what...still am not finding an xorg.conf anywhere in /etc/X11/ OR /root [01:50] ActionParsnip: I can't, that does not support installing to RAID0 (although I am using one to try and recover Grub...) [01:50] ActionParsnip backup not needed, its a new comp... just didnt want to have to re-install win7 if I didn't have to [01:50] luxgeek: should be in /etc/x11/xorg.conf [01:50] birdinatux: no, win7 can resize its own stuff [01:50] DasEi: Nope, it's not there. [01:51] tooStupid4Linux: i see, software raid I'm guessing :( [01:52] ActionParsnip: Indeed, and according to all the videos and articles it should "Just work". And it does...if the CD did not hang I would have been done 7 hours ago! [01:53] DasEi: I don't know WHY it's not there...but it's not. [01:53] tooStupid4Linux: in most cases it does. All my systems require only proprietary video drivers and everything works out of the box, probably because I don't use softraid (mainly cos I think it sucks) [01:53] ActionParsnip: So that means I can't get the grub2 configuration files back for grub2 and use grub as the bootloader [01:53] at first I could move the mouse over something, like a switch-workarea panel at the bottom of the screen and it would react to the the hover, but now not even that happens and the cpu is still pinned [01:54] CJO232: if you make a 500Mb ext4 partition and mount it as boot you can use grub there. If you intend to ONLY use windows you may as well reinstate the XP bootloader [01:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/576759/ luxgeek, but that's just a structure, need to modify it !!! [01:55] ActionParsnip: COOL never knew about this utility in win7, now shrinking. :) Final question, not to mess up booting win 7 where should I place the boot loader for ubuntu? [01:56] birdinatux: Use the default and the dualboot will be handled [01:56] ActionParsnip: sounds good. Thanks a lot! === tyler is now known as Guest64849 [01:57] anyone know why videos i play online wont fully show up? [01:57] Ok ActionParsnip thanks... i'm not happy to be using strictly windows LOL [01:57] hi all [01:58] but in my case it meets needs [01:58] n00b to linux and the irc.. [01:58] Guest64849: can you use: http://pastie.org and give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash Thanks [01:58] all that shows up is a tiny rectangle of part of the video [01:58] welcome to IRC :) [01:58] birdinatux: its good to know both OSes in this day and age [01:59] thanks birdinatux [01:59] are there any guides for un-branding ubuntu? [01:59] DasEi: Thx, now the trick is to figure out how to edit it right :P [01:59] primarily the boot splash, and changing the login window? [01:59] So I'm loving ubuntu and the whole open source deal [01:59] luxgeek: i draw back there, as I don't have experience with that graphic-card [01:59] anyone know how to fix it? [01:59] me 2 [02:00] DasEi: Rt, totally understand. ;) [02:00] ActionParsnip Yeah, nothing I can't do in XP, but I need to get more versed in win7. I'm starting to get the basics down with linux, but so far to go. [02:00] can i put location path on gnome drawer? [02:00] my shutdown button, both when i press ctrl+alt+delete, and on the panel, is broken, any ideas? [02:00] luxgeek: you can try using this template to break x and then reconfigure again, if you're lil familiar with ubuntu [02:01] why cant i play online videos? [02:01] does anyone have any experience with webcam configs through a VM [02:01] DasEi: Right. might work. [02:01] everything else works fine except my webcam [02:02] MonkeyMayh3m: do you see it listed in the output of: lsusb ? [02:02] luxgeek: else rename it to xorg.dull to get x back, restart gdm [02:02] monkeymay3m: try to make sure your cam is supported by linux too [02:02] anyone know why apt-get hold returns an invalid operation error? [02:02] MonkeyMayh3m: install cheese [02:02] DasEi: Can you tell me that last thing you told me? :P [02:02] DasEi: Ok, is that "restart gdm" an actual command? [02:02] I have cheese but it doesn [02:02] can i put location path on gnome drawer? [02:02] i'm trying to followe the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [02:02] Habstinat: doing now ? [02:02] If I have my timezone set correctly in Ubuntu, but it's displaying as 4 hours slow. (dual booting with OSX) which configuration do I need to edit to fix that? [02:02] I went into init 1 and did a dpkg repair and got lost from there. I'll write it down this next time. [02:02] doesn't recognize [02:02] I'm on a liveCD now. [02:02] RealEyes: sudo apt-get update [02:02] if cheese doesnt work then more than likely linux doesnt support your cam [02:03] RealEyes: why on live ? [02:03] but $ sudo apt-get hold libmtp8 libmtp-dev libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4 tells me hold = invalid [02:03] grub is gone [02:03] Guest64849: not true, there may be drivers to compile... [02:03] MonkeyMayh3m: did you run the command?? [02:03] RealEyes: ic [02:03] Look at this. [02:04] anyone have an idea as to why videos wont play on my computer? [02:04] DasEi: http://pastie.org/1641576 [02:04] ActionParsnip: I'm a noob would I be able to find that through the cl? [02:04] can i put location path on gnome drawer? [02:04] MonkeyMayh3m: yes, its a terminal command [02:04] Guest64849: Try install flash/java/quicktime? [02:04] on it [02:04] i have flash but the other too i should try lol [02:04] Guest64849: did you run the command I gave and pastebin the output?? [02:04] forgot about them [02:05] I'm pretty sure my system clock is set to Local Time, but ubuntu is treating it like my system clock is UTC. Any suggestions on what to toggle, and where? [02:05] i dont know how to run a command [02:05] i'm trying to followe the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone but $ sudo apt-get hold libmtp8 libmtp-dev libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4 command returns an error that hold = invalid [02:05] ok I'm on board with the cmd [02:05] Guest64849: in a terminal, press CTRL+ALT+T and please write my name at the start of text addressed to me, it will highligh me just like my text highlights to you [02:06] how do i get to a terminal?

[02:06] guest; it's in the accessories menu [02:06] Guest64849: maybe but you can read [02:07] i'm trying to followe the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone but $ sudo apt-get hold libmtp8 libmtp-dev libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4 command returns an error that hold = invalid [02:07] RealEyes: did the update ? [02:07] yes [02:07] something has happened to my system such that when I click on an mp3 file it still loads movie player, but then it says that it needs to look for a plugin and looks for one for text/html, cwhich it does not find.

[02:20] gaelfx, no , what it is is, i stoped the scan around half way through (in the process of renaming the files) .. so now if i had two mp3 files that were for xyz.mp3 .. and i have nonamed.mp3 its pulling the metadata and renaming it to my set script for whatever .. artist_title_.mp3 .. so its giving me the error [02:20] RealEyes: uname -m [02:21] my /var/spool/email folder is empty....

[02:23] ActionParsnip: I know, I was just making sure you saw what's happening [02:23] ActionParsnip: could it be because when it hung I did the R-E-I-S-U-B thing with alt sysrq?

[02:25] i pasted the "http://pastie.org" to the address bar after the site adress was thnd it didnt change it at allere a [02:25] Guest64849: did you copy the text from the terminal? [02:25] it keeps putting me back in Busybox no matter which kernel I choose [02:25] copy all of the text or "http://pastie.org"? [02:26] RealEyes: so get a suitable cd, supergrub is smaller and so faster in d/l 'ing [02:26] Is there a way to get dpkg-buildpackage to dump it's output to a logfile? [02:26] Guest64849: no, the text which was the output of the long command I gave earlier [02:26] I dont have any blank CDs, DasEi :/ [02:26] I have a USB drive, 8GB. [02:26] ok so copy that to the address bar? [02:26] RealEyes: usb stick ? [02:26] Yeah. [02:26] RealEyes: get unetbootin (for win) [02:27] DasEi: Thanks. I've tried a couple other Linux distros on other computers, but in the end I feel like Ubuntu just gets it right. [02:27] Well, got the minimal install running from CD now (although I think the RAID config is now screwy /dev/md2 thru md4). Is 8 hours to get an install done a record? :-( [02:27] Guest64849: no, the text which was made, copy that and paste it to the large box on the pastebin site, then click the paste button and the page will change, then copy the address bar which will now have changed and paste it here [02:27] Habstinat: depends on purpose, but best free support [02:28] Why, after doing "apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-27-server", does the Makefile in the source directory have "EXTRAVERSION = .11" instead of .27? [02:28] okay [02:28] ActionParsnip: I found stuff on how to fix corrupt ntlrd but don't I need the windows disk to reinstate the ntldr [02:28] hi friend [02:28] where i can find a good jboss community in irc? [02:28] hansam: /list [02:29] CJO232: yes, or you can use supergrub [02:29] anybody running the bluespace ii theme? [02:29] so if after doing the magic alt-sysrq thing during a hang results in booting from any of several kernels dropping me in busybox with message 'trying passing init=bootarg' , what do I do next? [02:29] DasEi: Unetbootin-windows-502.exe? [02:29] !anyone | visual1ce [02:29] visual1ce: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:29] RealEyes: preferable from windows, yes [02:29] thank you gaelfx [02:30] supergrub would reinstate the windows boot loader [02:30] *ActionParsnip: [02:30] hansam: no prob [02:30] there used too be a way too set metacity as a composit manager.. can anyone remember how? [02:30] DasEi: I've tried Trisquel, gNewSense, and Debian. Debian comes close, Trisquel would be good if there wasn't the whole language barrier, and gNewSense seemed like a badly done rebranding of 9.10. [02:30] gartral: gconf-editor. Metatcity is under "applications" I think. [02:31] i felt that coming :P [02:31] DasEi: Okay, I have it DL'd. [02:31] so how is the bluespace ii theme? [02:31] so action: i type all the stuff below Codename maverick in the terminal? [02:31] Habstinat: there are other families, but this chatter is offtopic here, might google distrowatch or talk in #linux [02:31] or just the command you gave me earlier? [02:31] you know i selected a space image for my desktop wallpaper and it automatically changes every now and then - cool huh [02:32] RealEyes: didn't you say you where on a live cd ? [02:32] amazing pictures [02:32] Yes, I am, DasEi. [02:32] ActionParsnip: anything? :( [02:32] RealEyes: so d/l is lost in win.. [02:32] no the d/l is in my Downloads folder. [02:32] You want me to drag it to the win7 HD? [02:33] RealEyes: you hsould do it all from win [02:33] RealEyes: the foldr is in your ram [02:33] j_ayen_green: no idea, hance I didn't reply [02:33] I cant get into Win7 because there is no grub!!

It doesn't load for me in either Firefox or Chormium. [02:34] RealEyes: use your windows CD or supergrub to add the bootloader [02:34] Not having any luck with getting my xorg.conf created "properly" even asking in #xorg :P [02:34] RealEyes: tell bios to boot sda, there should be win-loader [02:34] Guest64849: ok I'll start again. If you can't get it from this then I don't know how to make it simpler. Gimme a sec [02:37] Starminn:: didn't load for me [02:37] Wait...

[02:37] RealEyes: try to boot into win from bios, then log in here again [02:38] birdinatux: that's plenty [02:38] birdinatux: even 10 GB is more than sufficient [02:38] ratzinger: Thanks. [02:38] birdinatux: it's enough for the os [02:38] I cant boot into win7 from BIOS. [02:38] cool thanks [02:38] There is no grub, there is no MBR.

[02:38] hello^^ [02:38] RealEyes: then its time to learn, nobody is born knowing how to use supergrub [02:38] guys, I'm considering downloading a pre-compiled static binary for wkhtmltopdf. What's the safest way to make sure the binary is clean of malware? [02:39] RealEyes: why not ? you first installed to it, and had grub on sdb ?! [02:39] anyone that could give me some name on some good c++ compilers for ubuntu/linux ?? [02:39] Anyone know a good doc for getting my xorg.conf created properly? [02:39] rogue: install build-essential and you have an ANSI standard compiler [02:39] jbwiv: why not just apt-get install wkhtmltopdf [02:39] oki [02:39] dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to do anything. [02:40] jbwiv: that way you get it from the repos and you know it's safe [02:40] jbwiv: malware on linux? if its a repository item its already known to be save [02:40] safe* [02:40] IdleOne, well, this is an older Debian box :-/ So not specifically an Ubuntu question, but it applies to binaries I might download for Ubuntu as well [02:40] Senjai, it's not a repository item ;) [02:40] jbwiv: in that case you should be asking in #debian [02:40] IdleOne, true. sorry [02:40] jbwiv: Ubuntu has the package in their repositories, maybe its not in debian [02:41] jbwiv: you can still grab it from the Ubuntu repos though. [02:41] jbwiv: general rule, if it comes from something or someone of questionable image/background: don't use it [02:42] gartral, yes, good advice [02:42] Senjai: Mixing repositories/packages from different distributions isn't a particularly good idea. Best course would be for him to upgrade to squeeze or pin the squeeze repo and get the package from there. [02:42] but yes, #debian :) [02:42] gartral, or if its for linux and isn't open source.. like 5% of all packages lol [02:44] actionparsnip:it asked for [sudo] password [02:44] Guest64849: yes, type your user password [02:44] its not letting me [02:44] my password is numbers [02:45] Guest64849: you won't see the pass or even **** just type in the pass and hit enter [02:45] Guest64849: passwords won't show up as being typed in most of the time. just try typing in the password and pressing enter [02:46] Guest64849, the password is invisible for reasons. it's there, just trust your instincts :) [02:46] Guest64849: "trust your feelings luke" [02:47] Guest64849: type it (you wont get any visual feedback) [02:48] ltr [02:48] hi all [02:48] hi [02:48] hullo [02:48] so if i right click on a window title bar one of the menu options allows me to move the window to another workspace... but for some reason when i assign a shortcut to this behaviour in keyboard shortcuts, it doesn't work [02:48] im new here [02:48] How do I get bash to pull a clone from git?

[03:25] Not quite sure what could be the problem but every time I run a game full screen I get a big number on my screen from ATI ccc and I cant make it go away [03:26] ActionParsnip: I get a message saying "device doesn't support scanning". [03:26] w00t am now chatting from a successful dual boot ubuntu and win7 install. Took only about 30 mins [03:26] oh wait... /facepalms [03:27] birdinatux: congrats :) [03:27] birdinatux: ubuntu installs are fast compared to windows eh? and the updates are faster! [03:27] buov: kinda ? html ? apache ? [03:27] ty :) [03:28] Actionparsnip: Sorry.... I get 6 headings... labeled Cell01-Cell06. [03:28] and they are networks [03:28] so I see them.. I'm just not able to connect to them. [03:28] will all of these work to play music from command? cdp, gnome-cd, cdplay, cdplayer [03:29] Demolitio: then cool its finding wirelesses. Use a wired connection and get updates. === buov is now known as sqwertle [03:29] Demolitio: scroll up too, what interface name is the wireless known as? [03:30] anyone? [03:30] anyone? will all of these play an audio cd? cdp, gnome-cd, cdplay, cdplayer [03:30] hello [03:30] know a good channel for help/general questions on running a bind9 server? [03:31] !info gnome-cd [03:31] Package gnome-cd does not exist in maverick [03:31] !info cdplay [03:31] Package cdplay does not exist in maverick [03:31] andruHA1123: yes, with the needed codecs installed, or use vlc [03:31] ActionParsnip: I've tried... there are two drivers through "Additional Drivers" I can choose from- one for the STA set, one for B43. both of them don't seem to work. [03:31] andruHA1123: they arent packages, totem will play CDs fine [03:31] birdinatux: more detail please [03:31] say, would anybody happen to have some clue as to how to change the sort order for nautilus? e.g. `_zero Banana apple bear' instead of `apple Banana bear _zero' [03:31] Demolitio: what is the interface name of the wireless? [03:32] paijo_ I want to serve my own website/email with my registered domain name. [03:32] ActionParsnip: Wlan0 [03:33] how do I find what release of ubuntu i'm using from the command line? /etc/release does not exist. [03:33] Demolitio: ok thats cool [03:33] trebuchet: lsb_release -a [03:33] trebuchet: lsb_release -d [03:33] Thanks. [03:34] Hello, is there any speech recognition software for linux? === raph is now known as Guest73678 [03:34] when I try and add a modeline with xrandr I get this error- xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [03:34] paijo_, the website is nothing big, just a geeklog blog. Just want to do the hosting myself as apposed to paying for hosting. I don't expect much traffic, just probably me and a couple friends. [03:34] usr_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SpeechRecognition [03:34] ActionParsnip: Wait... I just found something funny. the device is obviously scanning.. but Additional Drivers indicates both are disabled? [03:34] usr_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux [03:34] Well, the minimal CD install worked. I have no idea what is up with the alternate ISO image. As the RAID numbering seems to be a tad screwy (and damn this is fast on RAID0), I may reinstall. But for now it is off to bed. [03:35] and that is for any modeline I try [03:35] tooStupid4Linux: try a hardware card, it smokes software easily :) [03:35] ActionParsnip: Maybe next time. [03:36] what is the KDE version of the Linux DVD player called? Anyone know? [03:36] andru: kaffiene? [03:36] andruHA1123: Kubuntu comes with Dragon Player by default. I'd recommend VLC instead. [03:37] ActionParsnip: so I'm now utterly confused. Additional Drivers manager indicates both wireless drivers are not activated- and yet here I am scanning networks. [03:37] I mean, what do I type in the terminal to get KDE version of lInux dvd player? [03:37] does "ogle' sound right? [03:37] andruHA1123: dragonplayer and vlc can also play dvd [03:38] andruHA1123: just install the dvd codec [03:38] Demolitio: try getting updated [03:38] ActionParsnip, i know, im doing homework and trying to figure stuff out :P [03:39] andruHA1123: Ogle 1) hasn't been in Ubuntu since hardy, 2) uses GTK for its GUI. [03:39] GTK being more GNOMEish than KDEish. [03:39] Demolitio: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [03:39] andruHA1123: multitasking! [03:40] why when i do iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j DROP i can still send and connect to sites? [03:40] ActionParsnip, how about "totem"? [03:41] andruHA1123: that'll do it too. Its ggtk based as far as I know so if yo9u are using kde it will pull in a tonne of gtk deps [03:42] ActionParsnip, thanks for helping.. i just checked and the right answer was "okle" [03:44] success! [03:44] FYI: Adding a manual refresh rate and sycn rate for horizontal and vertical fixed it [03:44] HI all [03:45] I have a question maybe somebody could be of some assistance [03:45] although terminal is no longer opaque? [03:45] was that an update? [03:45] I'm getting a "Relay Access Denied" when I try to send mail through my SMTP [03:45] I've fixed this issue in the past, but I forget how [03:45] I have an Alienware m17xR2.

[03:55] Random832: how do yo ucreate it? [03:56] with.... a text editor? [03:56] ？？？ [03:56] or fetchmailconf which is a separate python/tk tool [03:56] how do you create a file you dont know the syntax of? [03:56] look up the syntax of it [03:56] that's not what you were asking [03:56] Random832: fetchmailconf requires x server to run [03:56] you don't have an x server anywhere?

[03:59] resno: I make a new xorg.conf every install === matthewrsmoker is now known as Logan_ [03:59] resno: try: man filename.conf sometimes they are around [03:59] because it isn't used anymore, but my cards are too old and worthless to work without it [04:00] marnargulus: it is used if there is one, Ubuntu uses udev by default but some old cards need it (and new sucky ones too like sis) [04:01] ActionParsnip: it seems fetchmail isnt supported anymore, whats the supported method for pulling emails? === Logan_ is now known as Beta_Quadrant === Beta_Quadrant is now known as Kappa_Quadrant [04:02] resno: huh? [04:03] resno: mutt is a cli email client if thats what you mean [04:03] not supported by whom? [04:03] have you tried looking at the actual fetchmail documentation [04:03] Random832: do a quick google on fethcmail ubuntu and every guide says ubuntu 7.10. [04:03] why do you think ubuntu would need a special way of doing fetchmail? [04:04] i dont. [04:04] im curious as to why the conf files dont exist [04:04] what do you mean don't exist? [04:04] what would they have in them? [04:05] If fetchmail weren't supported by Ubuntu any more, then there wouldn't be a fetchmail package in the repositories. There is. Therefore, it is. [04:05] they don't know your pop3 server, your username, your password [04:05] the base for setting up fetchmail? like every other does [04:05] huh?

[04:05] what other packages do that? [04:05] none, because it's a violation of packaging policy. [04:06] Random832: if there is not file and the app is configured as such, if there isn't one it will make a vaniall file [04:06] am i just stupid? [04:06] ActionParsnip: what would you imagine to be the contents of a 'vanilla' fetchmailrc? connect to a vanilla server log in with a vanilla username and a vanilla password? [04:06] how in the world would a normal person be able to create the conf file? [04:06] resno: by copying the example in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/examples [04:07] Random832: not sure, I dont use it [04:07] i think "normal" people are assumed to install a graphical email client on their desktop machines [04:07] ( /usr/share/doc/*/ is the normal place for example configuration files to be, btw. Good tip if you use command-line stuff like that a lot. ) [04:07] the need fetchmail fills is kind of specialized, for if your email client _doesn't_ access pop3, yet you have a pop3 account [04:07] rww: heh, why didnt that come up on my find? [04:08] resno: no idea, I just tuned in to #ubuntu [04:08] Random832: websearch for example files, then just change the settings [04:08] rww: i issued find / -name fetchmail, is that not right?

[04:10] thanks rww for the helpful note [04:13] hello.. I'm trying to do something that I would think would be simple. Change the icon of a custom application launcher on gnome-panel to a custom 48x48 png [04:13] needlez: looks as fast as it can be, i'd change line 3 to: metacity --replace and then add a 5th line: compiz --replace to switch it back on, alternatively just ditch compiz and be problem free [04:13] is there an easy way to update my bios from within ubuntu? [04:13] I put the png in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps [04:13] how to restore my 1st installation? [04:13] sk_: if you use a Dell system then yes [04:14] but when I try to select it for the application launcher it doesn't show up, it just gives the default icon like as if I didn't select one [04:14] ActionParsnip: thank you ill look into that [04:15] ActionParsnip: its a pc. bios; phoenix 6.00 [04:15] I've lost the sound control applet on the upper right section of the panel. How do I get it back? [04:15] sk_: is it a branded pc or laptop? [04:15] desktop [04:15] so branded [04:15] sk_: what make and model? [04:17] evga 780i [04:18] ! [04:18] sk_: thats a motherboard, not a brand or model of PC [04:18] hi every one [04:18] everyone [04:19] hey guys I have a problem time ago when I uprade ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 beta it docky stop working [04:19] after I [04:19] set up the ubuntu 10.10 [04:19] and had the seme problem [04:20] I tough at the beginning it was a minor problem about new version of ubuntu but [04:20] anyone know where i can find the .deb for zsnes? [04:20] I discover that docky still workin in others ubuntu 10.10 [04:21] someone can sugest something? [04:21] alexflow, purge it add the ppa and reinstall [04:21] alexflow : do have compiz installed ? [04:21] I did [04:21] yes [04:21] alexflow: ease up on the enter key dude, if you hit enter less not only do you not scroll the channel but it also makes you not sound like you just ran 10 miles at full speed. You can type really really long lines as I am writing now just to highlight the fact [04:21] of corse [04:21] now I'm ussing AWN [04:21] but I like more Docky [04:21] teichert: playdeb has it, add their repo and you can install it [04:22] churr boss [04:22] teichert: they have a handy deb to add their repo [04:22] Anyway I now the perfect solution Format the partition and reinstall Ubuntu and all fix [04:22] but [04:22] now [04:23] I don't know if I format Ubuntu's partition [04:23] alexflow: ease up on the ENTER key [04:23] ActionParsnip: that didn't work, and both times I get that is waiting for something, not sure why?? [04:23] I gess It also will delet the grub so I worry to delet the windows start up also xD [04:24] Hey I'm back. Does anyone have a sec to help? [04:24] hexdump_: whats the problem?? [04:25] needlez: alright I'm trying to send mail from my SMTP server (ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) and everything seems to be working fine but when I send it it says 250 2.0.0 ok: queued as "713....." [04:25] needlez: what didn't work. its been a while and I'm at work, so you'll have to refresh me [04:25] On the Live Boot CDs for Ubuntu, if one clicks on the "Check disk for Errors", this should tell one if the MD5 sum is off, right? Or if something is wrong with the setup disk? [04:25] exit [04:26] for some reason im sharing a folder, but no other pc on my network can find my pc to connect to [04:26] ruffdog: it will tell you if the CD is good compared to the MD5 sum on the CD. You SHOULD have checked the ISO before burning but only a good ISO can make a good CD [04:26] i right click the folder, click share, allow guest access .. nothing [04:26] i'let u know later [04:26] noneaan: if you run: smbtree can you see the share? [04:26] im teaching now :) [04:27] needlez: the only one it sends to without any problems is my gmail account [04:27] ActionParsnip, no i cant [04:27] Good evening. I'm trying to set the CPU speed to "full blast" on my 10.04 system, but it keeps degrading to slower speeds. I read up and stopped the ondemand service which is what I thought was changing it, but it still changes on me. I'm using "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g performance -f 2000000 ; cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g performance -f 2000000" which seems to work, but after a short time it goes back down to 1.3 or som [04:27] noneaan: then its not right [04:27] ActionParsnip, right. Somehow I created a couple of CDs a couple weeks back that created fine. But on install there were errors and I couldn't resolve it. I then checked my ISO image (that I created the CDs with) against MD5 and the numbers were off so I redownloaded. I mixed the CDs up though as I moved my desk today and I'm trying to ensure I have the right CDs. [04:28] ActionParsnip, when i clicked share folder, ubuntu installed sbmc automatically [04:28] ruffdog: i'd find out which is good and discard the rest [04:28] ActionParsnip: after researching (lol), its custom pc [04:28] noneaan: try a reboot. I dont use the gui way I always edit smb.conf then restart the smbd service [04:29] ActionParsnip, already tried rebooting, any other ideas ? [04:29] hello all [04:29] ActionParsnip, would i do .. gedit smb.conf ? [04:29] sk_: ok then check motherboard manufacturers site to see, you may be able to do it using a dos boot floppy [04:29] noneaan: try the reboot first [04:29] ActionParsnip, yep. That's the plan. Thus the question if booting the live CD and "checking for errors" would help me sort out what was good and bad. [04:29] ruffdog: yes, if the CD passes check then its good :) [04:29] so i downloaded an open source program that needs to be compiled i am not a programer nor know nothing about it any ideas on how to do that? [04:30] hello, is there any app that organizes music based on any online music database which might be capable of renaming songs to add/remove data? [04:30] toby, which one? [04:30] its called cockatrice [04:30] toby: they usually come with instructions === ruan|away is now known as ruan [04:30] ActionParsnip, Ok cool. Thanks. [04:30] i read usually instructions in fourms lol but there is none [04:30] its a program to be able to play magic the gathering === alisalaah is now known as Camarata [04:32] any ideas why my mail isn't getting through to yahoo?? [04:32] or hotmail? think they are blocking??? [04:32] toby, it appears you have to register to get to the docs [04:32] toby: http://forum.cockatrice.de/index.php?topic=3.0 === lance_ is now known as Guest14708 [04:33] thanks man [04:34] toby, there is usually a readme file that comes in as well, but not sure how is that usually dealed with git & friends [04:34] How do i empty my ramdisk other then restarting? I mounted a movie to dev/shm watched it, sent it to the trash, and emptied the trash, but the space available in dev/shm stayed where it was before [04:34] hexdump_: I've had a lot of problems with that. Yahoo will deny they do filtering, but if the owner of the yahoo account complains they'll "look into it" then somehow it magically starts working again. In other words, "It's not you" [04:35] toby: cockatrice appars to use Qt so you will need a lot of qt deps (unless you use kubuntu) [04:36] ah crap [04:36] Hi - following ? not getting response on #ubuntu+1 but the soloution to this would be common to any ubuntu I guess.. here is the ?:hi - just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 on a pc with dual boot win7 64x and ubuntu - the new grub does not offer win7 as a boot option - how to fix please.. need in detail because not so much linux background knowledge..

[04:38] dj_segfault: this is crap, I'm not greylisted [04:38] hexdump_: Do you have reverse dns set up? A lot of big providers are now rejecting mail where there's no reverse DNS records, or worse, when there's no SPF. [04:38] Cesu you need broadcom STA drivers [04:39] !grub2 [04:39] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I've go it out and I'm messing around with it all again. [04:39] frybye: you can update-grub2 [04:39] @frybye, Are you asking how to get get grub2 to show the boot option for Windows in a dual boot environment? [04:39] @cesuransea1 you should be able to find them via system>administration>Restricted Drivers [04:40] druciferre - yes - it had been working fine untill i switched with update-manager -d to 11.04 and now it offers only ubuntu on booting...? [04:40] frybye: sudo update-grub2 [04:40] dj_segfault: I had a ton of crap setup. had eggdrop, my own IRC server, ftp server, apache, SMTP, POP, webmin and I think a proxy too lol [04:40] ruan - ok I try that.. just a min... [04:41] dj_segfault: and the funny thing is it's on an old crappy box. [04:41] ActionParsnip, this one i mean: http://pastebin.com/ZPHGNHpk [04:41] frybye: if it detects windows, then it'll add it to boot [04:41] @frybye: ruan is correct, you should be able to run sudo update-grub2 assuming you have not messed with the files in /etc/default [04:41] /join #linux [04:42] during the update only ubuntu entries showed up in ther term window... [04:42] oops [04:42] brontoeee: it depends on the installed packages [04:42] @frybye: are you sure you have windows installed correctly ? [04:42] was working fine in dual boot situation with 10.04 [04:43] just dissapeared from the grub boot options after the -d upgrade... [04:43] brontoeee: if you run: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [04:43] ActionParsnip, why? it should just return - no packages find, right? [04:43] brontoeee: remove all the flash plugins then install only flashplugin-nonfree and you will be fine [04:43] is it possible that the win7 boot options are still in a grub.cfg or similar but have just been commented out? [04:43] @frybye: if you're certain windows is installed correctly, you could configure grub2 manually to point to your linux partitions and Windows partitions... there is a guide on how to do it... hold on a minute and I will get it for you [04:43] or 'nothing to uninstall' [04:44] druc... thanks [04:44] @frybye: no, the scripts rebuild everything from scratch [04:44] brontoeee: if you have no flash (or you didn't use the packages) then it will show nothing [04:44] I have done something such that movie player when asked to show a mp3 file is now telling me that it needs a plug in and goes and looks for a plugin for type text/html, how do I fix this [04:44] ActionParsnip, yes i understand the logic behind it, just not sure what might be all the packages that could mess stufff [04:44] druciferre: ok - [04:45] MagicJ: get the plugins from ubuntu software center [04:45] @frybye: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 scroll down to "custom menu entries" [04:45] brontoeee: there are a few, running the dpkg one then removing what is there is a more graceful approach [04:45] ruan: thank u - and how do I do that? [04:45] so i am getting errors when following the steps in the website one of you guys posted for me... any other advice you can give me? [04:45] ActionParsnip, ok, got it [04:45] druciferre: thanks I will try that - and be back here if I dont manage.. c u [04:45] MagicJ: search "gstreamer" on ubuntu soft center [04:46] ruan: ty - brb [04:46] @frybye: before doing the custom menu entries, I would recommend going to the Editing Menus During Boot section and following that make sure you can actually boot windows [04:46] Will someone please recommend some newsreaders that are cli and assemble binaries? [04:46] MagicJ: then install the "gstreamer extra plugins" codecs to play mp3, sid, mp3g1, etc [04:47] @frybye: Also, since it is detecting your Linux partition, I would only Windows as a custom entry [04:47] ruan: it says I already have them/it === dehuman_ is now known as dehuman [04:47] MagicJ: strange, you could try reinstalling them [04:47] druciferre: thanks a load... [04:48] @frybye: one more thing... I don't know if you know this or not, but for a windows partition, you should model it after their "chainloader" example... [04:48] was ahead of you on that one - but actually I think the problem is not with the plug in but that movie player thinks it wants the wrong type = I can play them with rhythm box for example [04:49] hi [04:49] MagicJ, are you talking about the os or the browser stuff? === Guest32536 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest12604 [04:51] brontee - not really either - movie player I guess - basically I use gpodder as my podcast client - and starting this afternoon when I click on a downloaded file I get the error when itinvoke movie plater to play it [04:52] druciferre: I am a bit out of my deapth with this.. could you perhaps come in a pm window and go thru this with me step by step - I will be so gratefull...?

[04:54] Bandit: people here don't generally do solaris, so you should ask for functionality, not command. [04:54] Bandit: translation: none of us has the first clue what unplumb does [04:55] ifconfig lan0 unplumb ? [04:56] ruan: we still don't know what he meant. [04:56] ruan: that was my guess as well. [04:56] yeah i googled [04:56] it's not clear from what i can find what that does different from down [04:56] how to use grep to search 2 words once (word1 or word2) [04:56] Random832: it removes it totally from the ifconfig table, you have to do ifconfig -a if you want to see it. [04:57] what's the use of that? [04:57] ActionParsnip, im back, smbc questions [04:57] well, figure out _why- it's on the ifconfig table [04:57] i'm sorry guys.... [04:57] what makes ifconfig include things in non-a output? [04:57] unplumb will take down an interface in solaris [04:58] i can bring an interface down, but it pops backup on restart [04:58] i want to bring it completely down [04:58] run a script that takes it down on startup? [04:58] or find what script is bringing it up on startup [04:58] Bandit: on restart it's default down in solaris, it's not in linux and from the responses here, you can understand that people don't understand the solaris behaviour (and frankly, I never did either) [04:59] anyone able to hook ubuntu up to a 1080p TV?

I am supposing this has to do with the fact that LiveCD is probably only using rt2870sta for wireless driver...and the install gives more drivers and thus causes a driver conflict?

I know it's not cool, and a bit personal (vid-chatting, but I don't need to see you you jut have to see me), it's just I have an important call coming through soon and the skype on linux doesn't seem to be all that reliable. The webcam works, but will it work on skype??? I just need to make sure. [06:10] worldwarcheese: If the webcam work in cheese, it'll work with skype. I have used skype in the past. Worked fine. [06:10] How do I check my IP address in terminal? [06:10] bin_bash: ifconfig (for local ip) [06:10] bin_bash: lan address or wan address?

[06:11] yeah [06:11] sorry [06:11] red2kic: I tried another webcam and it worked both in cheese and in the skype test, but didn't in the actual chat. I'm worried about having the same results again with the new one (and thanks for the reply) [06:11] how do I check my external ip in terminal [06:11] shaghost: holding shift when it boots doesn't seem to bring up grub2 [06:11] worldwarcheese: I think you have to manually start the video chat. === koolhead11 is now known as koolhead17 [06:12] worldwarcheese: When you're connected, look for "Start video or webcam" something.

Look in options. Make sure it's pointed at the correct /dev/video (whatever) -- then restart Skype. I used my webcam + 2 XboxLive Vision cams. Worked fine. I was messing around with security cameras and etc etc. === ghost is now known as Guest61015 [06:14] worldwarcheese: Not sure about window square thing.

Everything checks out, but they checked out the 1st time too. Would you mind just sending me a test call? You don't need to use video yourself or anything. I just need to be 100% on this.

ElFidel: if ur having a bad day, don't blame it on me ^^ [07:08] cutout: do you have a backup of the data? [07:09] any way to make xchat text show in a popup with a pm/ping like in windows? [07:09] Mind you, even if he -has- a backup, I'd still try to restore from the "working" copy, as it'll be more up to date [07:09] so .. can some one help me, let's say there's a text file named "x" and i want to open it via any gedit ,, with only using the terminal ,, what would the code be ? [07:09] robbiethe1st: and to restore after, i need to put them on the new installation at the same place I got the? [07:09] elFidel: the return line states '.bashrc:command not found'. Then back the the SN@KnCluster:~$ [07:09] cutout: Yes, basically. you'll want to copy the entire directory [07:10] sk_: you need to edit your .bashrc [07:10] robbiethe1st: thanks a lot!!!!

[07:11] cutout: It should be under /var/lib/mysql. Just copy the entire directory [07:12] cutout: if your drive motor died suddenly you wouldnt have the livecd to rely on and you would have to pay a LOT for professional data recovery, or you can pay very little for a cheap USB device to backup to [07:12] sk_: .bashrc is the file you want to a) back - then b) read & c) edit if you got the logic of creating a user-specific prompt [07:12] ActionParsnip: just keep it to your self [07:12] sk_: good luck ;) [07:12] cutout: i'm just educating you in what CAN happen [07:13] sk_: *backup* -> read -> edit ;) [07:13] cutout: one day it will happen and you'll remember this [07:13] ActionParsnip: To be fair, even if I did weekly(or even daily) backups, if the system was actually in production, it'd be better to use the working copy, not some "old" backup. [07:13] Backups are all fine and good... but they aren't up-to-the-minute. [07:13] robbiethe1st: if the data changes that frequently then more frequent backups are needed [07:14] so .. can some one help me, let's say there's a text file named "x" and i want to open it via any gedit ,, with only using the terminal ,, what would the code be ? [07:14] robbiethe1st: I look after company SQL servers of several terrabyte database file and we backup nightly [07:14] Ah, but you have the funds and disk-space to do it. === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [07:15] Most people would be lucky to get it once a week. And at that rate, sure, if things fail, having the backups a -good- thing and a small inconvienience for people using the system, but it's still easier to just take the working copy :\ [07:15] gedit path to x [07:15] robbiethe1st: no we still use tapes :( [07:16] robbiethe1st: not my choice [07:16] robbiethe1st: but still backups are important [07:16] And in that case, you'd have to spend -how- long finding the data and retreiving it? I'm not discounting backups, but in this case, where the disk is fine... why bother? [07:16] recoilman: is there a way to add the "find or locate" code with the "gedit x" so i can do this in one line ? [07:17] robbiethe1st: because the drive could fail, it does happen [07:17] DOokami: name-of-your-text-editor /path/to/your/file [07:17] ActionParsnip: Yes. But it didn't, so why bother restoring from a backup. [07:17] DOokami: the find example was mentioned already several minutes before [07:18] how can I test if a java app from a web page can play sound? [07:18] sidenote: it does help if you just not wait to type commands others do write for you in irc .... learning curve etc ;) [07:18] robbiethe1st: thats not my point, the point is there is no backup of the data and the drive can fail. The data is clearly important yet there is zero DR path [07:18] elFidel: thanks for reaccepting me :D .. my question ,, can i have the "find" and "gedit" commands in one line so that it finds and open the file with a single terminal [07:18] DOokami: i stop here - thats not reaccepting ;) [07:19] elFidel: i don't get it lol ,, but thanks ^^ [07:19] ActionParsnip: Lets say he had a full disk-backup. He'd still be up against the problem of "where are the important files?" [07:19] robbiethe1st: if s/he wants to learn the hard way then thats fine but i've got my "i told you so" sign ready [07:20] well, that didnt work either. anybody, some idea on how to get an ext4 file system unbusy so I can run fsck on it? :( [07:21] maybe need to be unmounted :) [07:21] j_ayen_green: Boot off a LiveCD, and run it from there? [07:21] (assuming it's the root file system) [07:21] i've booted off livecd, and it shows on fdisk as /dev/sda1, but trying to unmount says it's not mounted, trying to mount and unmount the same [07:22] A text file named "x" ,, i want to "Locate*Find" it and open it with "gedit" ,, writing a single line in a terminal ,, how do i do that ? [07:22] it doesn't show in mount [07:22] j_ayen_green: And if you type "sudo fsck /dev/sda1" what happens? [07:23] DOokami: try "gedit `find / -name x`" [07:23] robbiethe1st: it tells me that it's busy or opened exclusively by another program [07:23] robbiethe1st: thanks, i'll try it now [07:23] robbiethe1st: it shows in Places, but can't get to it there [07:24] DOokami: I think, however, that you're being silly - You want to use find to find paths to things, then -remember- those paths and type/paste them in as needed. [07:25] Damn you TurboTax for not supporting Ubuntu! [07:25] j_ayen_green: Hm... try installing gparted, open it up, and see if you can unmount/run fsck from there. It might help [07:25] robbiethe1st: I've been up all night with this... 10.4 hung, i did the magic sysrq keystrokes to reboot, and it wouldn't reboot...kept dropping me into grub saying it couldn't init, and I've been trying to get to it to run fsck on it ever since [07:25] robbiethe1st: ,, :( i don't know why u guys think this is silly ,, isn't IRC the foundation of sharing knowledge ,, all i want is to "open a file with a terminal, without having to know it's exact path, only by it's exact name" .. is that really silly ? .. still trying ur input up there and thanks again. [07:26] I have 1 computer connected with a wire to the modem and another one connected to the modem but wireless, how can I create a lan? [07:26] somebody can help? [07:26] Chilaquiles: you have a lan [07:26] Chilaquiles: what else do you need [07:27] DOokami: It's more the manner of asking, and yes, it is silly - What if there are a half-dozen files with that name? [07:27] (in different directories) [07:27] I want to be able to see one files in the other computer [07:27] Hey all, been having a lot of fun with Ubuntu 10.10 server since I started using it about a week ago (prior experience in CentOS 5.5/Red Hat and DD-WRT +4 years of Ubuntu Desktop), and got into the server set-up mood, so I decided to convert my Mac Mini 2010 to a home server running Ubuntu 10.10 wirelessly. I had no problem connecting via eth0, but I can't seem to get the wlan interface to work, anyone know the packages I need to [07:27] and viceversa [07:27] !samba | Chilaquiles [07:27] Chilaquiles: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [07:27] Chilaquiles: You'll need to set up Samba on your Ubuntu box. Just right click on a folder to be shared and choose Properties. [07:28] Chilaquiles: are the both linux? [07:28] j_ayen_green: I'm not sure what I can tell you. Something's F'd up here. I'd try gparted, see what happens [07:28] yeah they are both ubuntu [07:28] scrach samba [07:28] ok [07:28] robbiethe1st: can you be more specific? I never heard of gparted [07:28] Chilaquiles: there is a way to mount via ssh [07:28] sec [07:28] ssh? [07:29] mhh [07:29] secure socuit shell [07:29] yeah [07:29] but I don't think I want taht [07:29] that [07:29] Chilaquiles: you want filesharing right [07:29] j_ayen_green: "sudo apt-get install gparted" ;) [07:29] I want to have a network like in windows [07:29] where you see the other computer in your networks [07:29] you click networks [07:29] Chilaquiles: you can do a windows like one or you can mount the other computer network on the hardrive [07:30] and then you see the computers that are connected, etc. [07:30] Chilaquiles: If you have local IP addresses on your boxes like 192.168.1.x then you have a LAN [07:30] other computer hardrive [07:30] j_ayen_green: gparted is how linux partition drives [07:30] And all you need to do is set up Samba or SSH in order to share files [07:30] mackdieselx27: ok now can I se the other computer? [07:30] robbiethe1st: ... 1. it opened a "new empty file" not the one i have ... 2. i asked nicely .. did i offend u in anyway ,, ? .. it's just that other guys said "read the man" and i said "it's a lot to read" ,, hence i was looking for the "combinging of "find" and "gedit" command .. which is not written in there. === root is now known as Guest6135 [07:30] ssh is the secure way to do it, you will be ale to browse it via a gui and see it just like a windows fileshare in linux only [07:31] Chilaquiles: If you have local IP addresses your second box should see the first [07:31] Samba? first they told me not to use it and now they tell me to use it [07:31] if you do want a windows file share you can do samba [07:31] im confused [07:31] ok [07:31] DOokami: and what does just "find / -name x" return? Does it actually return your file? If not... it won't help [07:31] ok [07:31] Anyone familiar with running Ubuntu Server 10.10 on a Mac Mini over Wireless? [07:31] robbiethe1st: it's already installed. how do i invoke it? just sudo gparted gave me a blank screen and said nothing was found [07:31] ssh is the secure way to do it, as you mount the other computer harddrive in your own, so you can see it all and it is automatical there on bootup, samba is the windows file share thing where you can view it when you connect [07:31] I have done ssh but all i see is a terminal with no GUI [07:32] j_ayen_green: Try looking in the start menu under 'system' or something [07:32] Chilaquiles: sec, i will find a guide [07:32] ok [07:32] thx [07:32] Chilaquiles: have you ever edited /etc/fstab [07:32] More info on SSH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [07:32] shaghost: never [07:33] DOokami: See, this is why we generally don't do it in one step. that command will work perfectly if find returns one file. If it returns 0 files, you'll just get a blank new file. If it returns two or more... it might open them all, or just the first one [07:33] how do I change/undo a ALT+CTRL+F1 prompt that has my terminal prompting Username@KNCluster:~?? How do I get back to the original terminal?!? [07:34] sk_ ctrl+alt+f7 [07:34] (or f8) [07:34] robbiethe1st: ok, i have the list of partitions (it, an extension and swap), and it has a warning flag. When I get partition info, it doesn't say what the warning is for, but there's no volume name or last accessed date, aside from that the info looks right [07:34] robbiethe1st: i understand, and thanks ,, i'm asking in case there was only one file that i can look for xxx.text for example ,, anyhow ,, i tried "find / -name x" and no result ,, what am i typing wrong plz ? === Guest6135 is now known as stag-reseau7 [07:34] !sshfs | Chilaquiles [07:34] Chilaquiles: sshfs is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions [07:35] DOokami: No file named 'x' exists on the disk? [07:35] bjr [07:35] DOokami: Remember, linux is case-sensitive. [07:35] robbiethe1st: and when I try to have it check the file system, it comes back with an error that's it's mounted or open exclusively [07:36] DOokami: -name x matches files with the name 'x'. For files with names containing 'x', do -name *x* [07:36] rww, DOokami: use quotes around your -name string if you use a wildcard(*) in it - -name '*x*' [07:37] Otherwise it doesn't work quite right sometimes [07:37] rww i want to find a file named called "ctest" .. so i write " find / -name ctest" ? [07:37] robbiethe1st, precisely, when you have something with 'x' in current directory [07:37] Yes. [07:37] robbiethe1st: good point [07:38] Anyone familiar with setting up wireless access on Ubuntu Server 10.10? [07:38] robbiethe1st: it shows many many find: bla bla permission denied results ? [07:38] hi [07:38] j_ayen_green: Try right-click unmount on the drive. what happens? [07:39] trying to set up an ubuntu server with raid. during the install it put grub on both drives but if I try to boot with either drive unplugged it can't boot. Not much point having raid if it simply doubles the chance of the system becoming unbootable rather than reducing the chance... [07:39] i found that you can use consolechars to set the console (non X) font [07:39] robbiethe1st: cntl+alt+f7 doesn't do anything, but any f1-f6 send me back to the text only [07:39]
  • hi [07:39] so how can I fix this so that raid works how it's supposed to? [07:39] is there a way to set a margin so that the console starts 100px from the left? [07:39] DOokami: That means you're looking in a directory that you don't have permission to access. try with "sudo find ..." or only look in, say, your home directory "/home/*username*/ instead of /" [07:40] because i have an unusual screen that always swallows some pixels on the left side [07:40] sk_: Yes, those are 6 virtual terminals. Your X server may have crashed - try logging in, and typing "sudo service gdm restart" [07:40] I want clients connecting via VPN to share the server's internet connection, can anyone recommend a guide? [07:40] noah1989: probably in your .bash_profile [07:40] sk_, f8? [07:41] robbiethe1st: the unmount is grayed. so it's not that it's mounted...which i guess leaves the other option, that it's opened exclusively by something, or marked opened exclusively [07:41] rww: what's the syntax to find a file called "ctest" ,, looks like i got something wrong in the syntax .. [07:41] histo: hm.. that could fix it for the bash prompt. but i want the whole console to be constarained [07:41] incluiding the login prompt [07:41] noah1989: what's the problem? [07:41] DOokami1: find /searchpath -name ctest [07:42] rww if i want to look the whole disk then ? [07:42] histo: i want the console to use only the right part of the framebuffer [07:42] histo: because the left-most 100 px are off screen [07:42] am I visible? [07:42] noah1989: why not fix that instead of circumventing the problem? [07:42] DOokami1: sudo find / -name ctest [07:42] zcat[1]: yes [07:42] j_ayen_green: Hm, I don't know. Try googling? [07:43] rww: :D :D :D [07:43] noah1989: is this a gui install or just a command line only? [07:43] rww: thanks a lot. thanks robbiethe1st too :) [07:43] trying to set up an ubuntu server with raid. during the install it put grub on both drives but if I try to boot with either drive unplugged it can't boot. Not much point having raid if it simply doubles the chance of the system becoming unbootable rather than reducing the chance... any way of making this work how it's supposed to? [07:43] zcat[1]: I'm asking questions about the server version, and am getting no response either. :S [07:43] noah1989: because fixing this would mean optimizing the omap3 display driver kernel code.. [07:43] histo: it#s command line only [07:43] zcat[1]: You're using MDADM raid? [07:44] robbiethe1st: been doing that for hours ;) [07:44] histo: no X [07:44] noah1989: what about appending a vga code to the end of the kernel line? [07:44] noah1989: something like vga=771 [07:44] robbiethe1st, I guess so.. did the install with a 'fake raid' card originally, decided to just plug both drives into the motherboard. It's whatever the ubuntu server cd calls raid. [07:44] histo: this is happening on a ARM board, it has a completely different display driver [07:45] robbiethe1st: unless ubuntu is opening it when it boots, it must be something in the file itself that is showing it to be opened ... because it's like that as soon as i boot [07:45] perhaps I should just try a fresh install, perhaps it'll come right next time [07:45] j_ayen_green: Um... first result for "ubuntu ext4 partition exclusively opened" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1674709 [07:45] noah1989: so can't you specify a vga code to the frame buffer on boot still? [07:45] noah1989: http://pierre.baudu.in/other/grub.vga.modes.html [07:45] robbiethe1st: it's amazing what word choice can do :D google's not as smart as they would have ya think [07:45] zcat[1]: try typing "cat /proc/mdstat" if it exists, you're using mdadm software raid. If not, it's a fakeraid [07:45] zcat[1]: during the install of grub it should have asked you about whether to boot with a degraded disk [07:46] j_ayen_green: I suppose; I've never had trouble for some reason. [07:46] zcat[1]: did you tell it to allow booting with a degraded disk array? [07:46] histo: no. this is on a beagleboard. it has no vga-compatible graphics [07:46] histo: it has it's own options but none of the available modes fits my screen [07:46] join #moto-atrix [07:47] jefimenko, yeah, due to the stupid highpoint fakeraid card none of that worked, can't recall the error. I think I might just do a fresh install again [07:47] noah1989: hrm... let me do some searching then === TheYellowGTO is now known as YellowGTO|Nix [07:47] robbiethe1st: then tell me how to google slack and get something meaningful? :D [07:48] robbiethe1st: after the restart from both virtual f1 and f6, (and f7 I suppose), the terminal is still designated as a @kncluster:~$ [07:48] omg [07:48] histo: all i need is a workaround at console driver level [07:48] j_ayen_green: I figure putting keywords in from left to right, most important first. [07:48] noah1989: yeah I hear ya [07:48] Anyone know how to set up wireless connectivity on Mac Mini running Ubuntu Server 10.10? [07:49] sk_, byobu grabs lower two lines for itself. Try looking into it? [07:49] robbiethe1st: ha, yeah...that much i do know. it's the choice of keyword...ok... i tried slack with a couple...i'll try a couple more :) [07:49] backtrack ppl [07:49] sk_: Login and type "sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less" and read the last few lines [07:49] ah, got it :) [07:49] btw am I being sensible choosing 10.04.2 rather than 10.10 .. it'll be longer before we have to deal with anything again right? [07:50] I'd go for 10.10 [07:50] zcat[1]: 10 [07:50] noah1989: you'd probably find morehelp in #linuxhelp or something similar since yoru problem isn't ubuntu specific [07:50] you think?

[07:52] zcat[1]: if longer support appeals then go for it :-) [07:52] that's why I chose 10.04.2 .. objective is that this goes in a closet and doesn't come back out for as long as possible [07:52] zcat[1]: what is this box going to be for?

[08:15] robbiethe1st: Not seeing anything about x ending/quitting; the bulk of text is describing my output devices like monitors, keyboards, mice [08:15] cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda briefly, then again /dev/sdb .. now try and find your raid!!! [08:15] Codemagician: there is a ppa with 270. I'd find guides for the proprietory driver maki [08:15] hopefully the installer won't be confused by previous fails this time [08:15] so this is attempt number 8 I guess [08:15] Making xorg each your cpu [08:15] ActionParsnip, what is ppa please? and maki? [08:16] BaKeR , i'll test it later will respond then. Hopefully anyone here can help you :D For the next time just ask your question don't ask if anyone can help you :D [08:16] sk_ Huh. and ctrl+alt+f7/f8 won't bring you back to your X window? [08:16] ActionParsnip, aha making xorg each your cpu... [08:16] ;) thanks [08:16] ActionParsnip, so there is a better way to configure xorg with my particular card? [08:17] Codemagician: maki was a typo. GT540 phone + regular thu [08:17] robbiethe1st: ctrl+alt+f7 doesn't change anything on the screen; /f8 sends me to a blinking underscore (_); [08:17] (uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap) this line is the only line that does anything [08:17] Thumbs = typos [08:17] it fixes the shut off splash but messes up the startup [08:17] ActionParsnip, how do I go about switching the drivers? [08:18] sk_: I don't know, sorry. It looks like X isn't working - What drivers were you using, BTW? Nvidia? ati? intel? [08:18] where does ubuntu store links to the applications listed under Applications ? === blazie0 is now known as blaize [08:18] robbiethe1st: nvidia for the monitors [08:19] Codemagician: yes, you just need to find it. My web access is dog slow so i'm not going to be much direct help [08:19] oliver how are you going to test it [08:19] sk_: manual install? [08:19] ActionParsnip, so I google for nVideo GeForce 210 drivers for my particular 10.10 ubuntu? [08:20] codemagician: Nvidia has a single blob driver for all recent cards. [08:20] codemagician: You want to download the 260/270.xx unix drivers [08:20] robbiethe1st: could I somehow quit in each of the virtual; basic install with additional driver support from administration>additional drivers [08:20] OK, at the end of step six I did 'write changes to disk' and now it's going ahead and doing the install on /dev/sdb only.. didn't give me the option of setting up raid. what did I miss? [08:20] so now this will be install #9 [08:20] robbiethe1st, where do I get them from... directly from nVidea? [08:20] sk_: I don't know. You may want to just download the package streight from Nvidia, install it. [08:21] and I have been trying to sort out this server for 6 hours now [08:21] does anyone here have amd 64 x2 [08:21] http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [08:21] no, seven hours [08:21] Select your card, etc and unix 32/64 depending, and download it === amosk is now known as | === | is now known as amosk [08:22] Then, you are going to have to: 1. kill xorg if it's running(switch to VT#1, ctrl+alt+f1), 2. login, 3. "sudo chmod +x *downloaded file* [08:22] robbiethe1st, i have 32-bit ubuntu installed. does the 32 or 64 refer to this, or to the memory interface on the nvidia card? [08:22] codemagician: 32 then [08:23] so if I don't raid swap and one drive fails, will the system still boot or will it crash and complain that a swap device in /etc/fstab is missing? [08:23] robbiethe1st: alright! i'm going to reinstall ubuntu. and then go for the drivers again. thanks anyways! I just wonder if by pressing alt+ctrl+f1/f2/../ will cause this @kncluster, or if when I shut down the computer during the text-only terminal causes a change in the files === lance_ is now known as Guest86444 [08:24] sk_ Uh... niether. More than likely, your nvidia drivers don't like the current kernel/haven't been installed properly [08:24] robbiethe1st, the down offered is 256.53 and yet my current version is 260.19.06 ? [08:24] robbiethe1st: found riplinux... minimal distro with gparted. going to try that :-s [08:24] oh shiiet i messed something up now [08:24] anyone? [08:25] codemagician: I dunno. You can get -anything- here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ [08:25] i set like 36 workspaces across 16 rows [08:25] Up to 270.30 beta drivers [08:25] and all the windows are f'ed up :( [08:25] gues im going to have to reinstall ubuntu but try 32 bit [08:25] can fix the damn ugly boot screen [08:25] robbiethe1st, generally do you think the later the version the better? [08:26] here is a weird-ass problem, everytime i open new window either a menu window or an actual window of some app, the focus stays with the previous window i was at [08:26] drives me nutz [08:26] codemagician: Yes, generally [08:26] robbiethe1st: the xorg edgers/updates ppa has it too. Much easier === Adam__ is now known as adammw111 [08:26] BaKeR: Why not just remove "quiet splash" from the boot-line and have a nice text-boot?

[08:26] Weazel[Work]: dont overlap windows =P [08:27] nice text boot? [08:27] ActionParsnip: I've almost never had the "additional drivers" installer work right. Probably cause I'm using Kubuntu. But it often crashes or just plain doesn't install right [08:27] how do I reset all the workspaces or something? all my windows are completely screwed up [08:27] shaghost: where do i unset the overlap windows ? [08:27] @robbie [08:27] Weazel[Work]: truthfully if you find a real slution to the problum i would love to know [08:27] BaKeR: Reboot, at the grub menu "edit" the command line and remove "quiet splash", then ctrl+x to boot [08:27] And watch [08:27] didn't used to have it before, i think one of the updates gave me this annoying issue [08:28] im not much of a fan of text during boot [08:28] Weazel[Work]: then it may be a diffent one then mine, as mine only happens with popup type things in chrome [08:28] for me is with everything [08:28] Suit yourself, I suppose. I'd prefer to know why things aren't working, myself. [08:28] i have burg installed over grub [08:28] AAAAAAAAAGHHHH so now I've configured sda1 and sdb1 as raid. What next? I can't put / anywhere because the partitions are raid. There's no other device appearing where I can put / ... [08:28] lets say i'm in terminal and hitting the hotkey for open new window [08:28] focus stays at the 1st terminal [08:28] this howto is FAIL [08:29] Weazel[Work]: i was joking arround [08:29] STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID [08:29] -_- [08:29] robbiethe1st: codemagician: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690115&page=2 [08:29] Hi, my laptop failed this morning with a kernel panic: not syncing - VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [08:29] ActionParsnip, thanks I'll take a read [08:29] PLEASE CAN SOMEONE POINT ME TO A HOWTO THAT ACTUALLY WORKS? [08:29] How can I try and get it running again? [08:29] zcat[1]: Two things: 1, ubuntu doesn't like fakeraid nicely. 2, for mdadm raid, you need to install "mdadm" before installing on your livecd [08:30] Robbie will it just show text? [08:30] !caps [08:30] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:30] BaKeR: Yes, until X starts. It'll show all the boot/debug info. [08:30] it's NOT fake raid. I threw the highpoint shit in the bin this is just two sata drives on the bmotherboard sda and sdb [08:31] does anyone know where I should go poke around to get rid of these 36 workspaces?? my whole desktop is completely screwed up :( [08:31] do you know a working fix? Robbie [08:31] and when I booth the installercd I see it loading mdamd packages off the internet every time so I think I have those packages? [08:31] Archaeopteryxx: i [08:31] also the howto doesn't say anything about loading mdadm either [08:32] Archaeopteryxx, right click on the switcher and make 4 colums and 1 row [08:32] Archaeopteryxx: in ccsm -> general in the desktop size you should be able to edit there [08:32] Robbie my problems is When booting up it shows ubuntu splash screen but in low bit [08:32] it doesn't work if :\ [08:32] zcat[1]: Dunno about any howto, I'm telling you how -I- did it. 1. install mdadm. 2. using the command-line, create my raid volumes. 3. install, and set /dev/mdN as your instlall drives [08:32] and when i shut down it show texts [08:32] the workspace preferences window keeps flashing and doesn't change the number of workspaces [08:32] BaKeR: when it shuts down it'll always show text, I think.

I had to do some stuff to make mine work right, but I'm happy with my raid-1 boot and raid-5 data drive [08:34] 170mb/sec off the raid-5 sequential read!

[09:18] PEM, i got stuff like that once [09:18] PEM did you remove the disc after rebooting [09:18] pem you did check the md5 of the iso file? [09:18] PEM: boot into the OS, "try" or whatever it's called [09:18] PEM, but it was because of the broken memory [09:18] i tried almost every menu :P [09:18] from try to install [09:18] the install failed [09:18] i believe it is because my primary disk is a ssd [09:19] because after trying to install it on an onld machine, it worked [09:19] PEM: did you try the F6 options? [09:19] F6 ? [09:19] SSD shouldent matter, [09:19] PEM: yes..there are some advanced options...on the first menu screen [09:19] i tried the memory, disk checks, the try ubuntu without installing, and install ubuntu [09:19] So I guess nobody here has any experience with Ubuntu Server 10.10 and wireless? [09:19] bonjoyee well i thought just hitting install would somehow work :P [09:20] i'll have a check at the advanced options... [09:20] moltendof would totally depend on the wireless chipset. [09:20] It's Broadcom b43 series. [09:20] theres a lot of varoity in broadcom b43's [09:20] bonjoyee i'll check that before giving up on the install ^^ [09:20] PEM what exactly is your problem? [09:21] some use the sta driver. some use the older B43 drivers. [09:21] I'll see if I can pull a model number from within Mac OS X. [09:21] well just that hitting install does not work :) [09:21] ok got cha [09:21] and errors are going way too fast to read them [09:21] http://support.apple.com/kb/sp505 that's mine. [09:21] PEM you need to set ext4 journals [09:21] something like that [09:22] seletct / that means root [09:22] BaKeR from the advanced options ? [09:22] BaKeR: thats not true.. PEM is just loading the live cd for the first time.. [09:22] But last time I checked, all it gave me was Broadcom B43xx Wireless Adapter. [09:22] not shure highlight the hard drive you want to install [09:22] click change [09:22] i think [09:22] bonjoyee exactly [09:23] you should see the options [09:23] cannot even reach the hdd selection menu :P [09:23] PEM: a livecd should have nothing to do with your hdd or the file systems or the hdd partitions... [09:24] so when you put in the disc and boot is just shows code? [09:24] baker, i get the first menu where you can try / install / check disk / memory etc [09:24] if i hit install,i get a loading screen, with the little squares [09:24] for hours... [09:25] Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x90); Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.19) [09:25] PEM hit try [09:25] if i press esc, i see the console throwing shitloads of errors at my face :P [09:25] mmm i would reburn or what not [09:25] "try" does not work either [09:25] And yes, try re-burning [09:25] what ubuntu are you using [09:25] and the errors are what pem? [09:25] and i could install ubuntu on another machine with the same cd [09:25] server,desktop,netbook [09:26] dr_Willis cannot read them, it's going too fast [09:26] PEM: Perhaps the CD drive's going? Try swapping cd drives [09:26] Is that of any use? Google isn't spitting out anything helpful for me. [09:26] PEM: first make sure you have the correct cd architecture 32bit or 64bit....else you could also try the alternate install cd... [09:26] I ran into that before [09:26] BaKeR desktop version, and server version does the same [09:26] i tried both 32 and 64 [09:26] pem so they are repeating? ctrl-s/ctrl-q or the pause key may pause them [09:26] dr_Willis tried, but does not work [09:26] hi all,my game complains that the GPU is bad,could I change this to help me? [09:26] PEM robbie is corected about disc drive [09:26] dr_Willis only thing working is rebooting ^^ [09:27] Yea, yank that drive and put in a known-good CD drive [09:27] robbiethe1st i tried that too :) [09:27] it doesnt read in my hp dvd writer/cd-writher combo but works in my dvd-rom drive [09:27] What's the specs of this PC? [09:27] pem i would make a bootalbe flash drive and use that instead of the cd [09:28] PEM: ok...then try some advanced options in F6.. [09:28] van7hu: what's the error exactly, and also what card do you have/drivers? [09:28] dr wiillis i tried that but doesnt do nothing on boot up?

[09:29] that machine is 3 years old, but i ran memory tests sevral times [09:29] the mem is fine [09:29] k [09:29] so is the ssd :) [09:30] Try checking the md5 hash of your cd, just in case [09:30] i think im using ssd [09:30] i have a windows running on the machine already [09:30] has anybody else had problems with streaming from youtube lately? [09:30] robbiethe1st downloaded from the official website though :p [09:30] robbieth1st: no errors,I installed Pes2011 in ubuntu with wine(it works fine under windows),but in ubuntu,there's complains that "Mobile Intel(R) GM45 Express Chipset Family (PS3.0/VS3.0)" is bad,it causes game run slowly(enough to not want to play :)),could I change this thing? [09:30] PEM, so? It could still have gotten corrupt in download [09:31] robbiethe1st true... but it installed correctly on another machine [09:31] van7hu: If it's a desktop, yes. You'll have to -add- a card, that's an integrated one and yes, very low end [09:31] PEM, so? trry it anyway.

Not quite as good as Windows, but pretty good. That card, on the other hand... Isn't. === Gruenmuth is now known as Guest20200 [09:35] Try running "glxinfo", then look at the top - make sure "direct rendering: yes" is shown [09:35] so robbie when you power off you get text [09:35] ? [09:36] bonjoyee: hmm, i'm using this BlacX docking station to connect the disk drive, perhaps its controller is not passing the SMART data? [09:36] BaKeR: Yes, after X turns off, I see text for about 10 seconds or less [09:36] Then it powers off, [09:37] robbieth1st: "yes" for direct rendering [09:37] not sure you spoke to me [09:37] :) [09:37] df [09:38] mmm its funny that the code uvesafb mode_option=1366x768-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap [09:38] fixes it [09:38] van7hu: Then you're using the drivers and getting good performance. That's about as good as you can do [09:38] but messes up the size of the splash screen [09:39] van7hu: You can always run glxgears to test the drivers [09:39] can someone help me with this [09:39] which is finding a script in my path [09:39] but when i want to start it, it tells me that i have to install another program :O [09:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/576889/ [09:39] niko: So, go install it?

[09:40] no but LOL [09:40] robbieth1st: ok.I'll have to look at dual-boot [09:40] i reopened another bash session [09:40] and it can see it [09:40] I find that path changes like a reboot. Probably something that can be done without it, but it's easier [09:41] reboot is not appropriate this is a server machine -.- [09:41] BaKeR: How should I know? It's "out" already...

[10:36] sahni . when i connect a device to a usb port ,,, does that create a log file with that action [10:36] No internet connection.....no way to install build-essential... I need MAKE to install b43-fwcutter for my internet connection.. Oh my god why didn't this at least include make [10:37] deca, not a different log file, but yes it does adds an entry in the log file. you can find such messages in /var/log/messages [10:37] deca, run "tail -f /var/log/messages" and connect the device. You should see the corresponding messages [10:38] deca, dmesg, displays kernel operations, or you can view that file in: /var/log/dmesg [10:38] esteste: do an apt-get --download-only somewhere with an internet connection, then sneakernet that over to the box you need to sort out.

[10:44] txb: "no access times" [10:44] trick: can't, never tried to run it in linux, I just installed minitube, xVideoServiceThief and Miro in it. [10:44] sipior, thanks [10:45] havent even tried [10:45] txb -- atime means "access time" or last time a file was accessed. noatime means the filesystem doesn't keep track of when files were accessed. [10:45] txb: have a look at the "mount" man page for further explanation. [10:45] ei txb [10:45] that means [10:45] t look both ways before he crosses the street with a handshake [10:45] trick: I could only suggest VirtualBox with some windows installed, if it doesn't work in Wine.

[10:50] yes [10:50] quite strange, do you have a particular keyboard? [10:50] its a notebook [10:50] do they work in the BIOS setup screen ? [10:50] aha [10:51] Is Numlock selected ? [10:51] trick: not really, except for the hard way for now, I just browse with proxy (squid) and monitor connections with squidview, and, when I see some big video file starts loading, I copy the url and use it in wget to download it. [10:51] I dislike epiphany-browser's icon because it has an arrow in it that looks like a mouse pointer. It's showing in my pager, which I keep next to another icon, and I end up clicking the wrong thing. I changed the icon under edit menus, but that doesn't change the icon showing in the pager or in alt-tab. Where do I go to change it? [10:52] jimcooncat, i don't think you have control over that icon, not by easy means at least [10:52] jenia: ok, can u pls get nme the movie 'kiki's delivery service' and 'howl's moving castle' using that method and send to me? thanks [10:52] pgup and down doesnt work too [10:53] newclimb, did you see PhilT_'s questions? [10:54] there is no numlock [10:54] trick: I don't really have time for it now, just install squid and squidview and do it yourself or install veoh in VirtualBox or Wine. [10:54] I found "noatime recommend" in a howto for DRBD. Is it really a good idea to use noatime to not update the inode access times when mounting a drbd-device? [10:54] jenia: i only have 1 gig ram, can i install virtual box with that? [10:55] jenia: im on a netbook [10:55] i want to use synapse ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/synapse-gnome-do-launcher-app-review-ubuntu/ ) , but when i run it, X11 seems to die/exit/stop running and I am returned to the login screen. [10:56] trick, WinXP can work with 128Mb (mimimum), although, I got it to work even with 64Mb of ram. Yes, Gig is enough. === Guest27100 is now known as DarkDevil [10:56] txb: I can see why, as keep track of access times is a lot of overhead. But check if DRBD supports relatime, it will give you atimes with less overhead than the default. [10:56] there is some way to recovery the conf without lost somes documents [10:56] any command line === chris_ is now known as Guest56348 === DarkDevil is now known as Guest5700 [10:57] txb, on the other hand, DRBD might not care at all, but doesn't like the latency of the kernel updating the atimes. [10:58] How can i map a USB soundcard -> http://pastie.org/1642596 to /dev/dspX in ubuntu 10.10 ? [10:58] jimcooncat, thanks, I will test it first. [10:59] txb, I'm not sure how practical atimes are, perhaps your situation doesn't need them. I dunno though. [10:59] When I right-click on desktop on mounted CD-Rom and Unmount it or anywhere in Nautilus on some video files and go to Properties, Nautilus crashes. I.e. desktop with icons and the background disappears and all Nautilus windows close. When I open some folder in Nautilus again, desktop with icons and the background reloads back. What can cause this? [10:59] @newclimb NumLock not a Fn function ? Does kb arrows work in BIOS @ boot [11:00] jenia: im trying to start virtual box but it's asking for windowsxp cdrom, what do i do [11:00] im gonna restart to see [11:01] trick: VirtualBox is a Program emulating a real computer, You have to insert some Windows CD/DVD to install it inside of it. Windows will think that it's running on a real computer. [11:01] jenia: can i just get a windows xp iso or something from the internet?

[13:03] i shouldn't have to quit my game/music/movie, turn on the headphones, then restart the game/music/movie. right? [13:03] bc81: is the way ubuntu works [13:04] hello [13:04] phoenixsampras: well, with corded headphones, all one has to do is plug them into the 1/4" stereo jack and all audio automatically goes to them.. why not the same for bluetooth headphones? [13:05] the output for lshw -C disk for disk1 is "UNCLAIMED" (disk1 being a SCSI disk). Any hints on how can I mount that disk?

I.e. desktop with icons and the background disappears and all Nautilus windows close. When I open some folder in Nautilus again, desktop with icons and the background reloads back. What can cause this? [13:39] in what release did ubuntu start using grub-pc? [13:39] I think that some file is corrupt, but I don't know which. [13:39] sion: 9.04 i think had it optional. [13:39] sion: i think the same release they switched to grub2 [13:40] grub-pc is the pacakge name for grub2 I thought. [13:40] According to your information, I've checked it out then it says that Ubuntu 11.04 support usb3.0 perfectly. [13:40] bth1202: thats good to hear. I got a usb3 HD. and a usb3 pcie card for it the other day. :) not installed it yet. [13:40] Then do I have change my box from 10.10 to 11.04? [13:41] bth1202: ive heard that 10.4 should support usb3 - but ive not tried it yet. [13:41] 10.10 or 11.04? [13:42] bth1202: the 10.X series. [13:42] but as i said. it may depend on your chipset for the usb3 stuff. [13:42] Dr_Willis, you're right about the names. does that mean that in 9.10 grub2 was the default? [13:42] sion: I think it was the default on new installs.. but not on upgrades. [13:42] Oh! really? [13:43] quick question. just installed 10.10, have 2 monitors, one laptop and one external. i cant seem to get any wallpaper to show when i connect by vnc, even though in the vnc config the "hide wallpaper" checkmark is unticked [13:43] bth1202: i was asking about usb3 in here the other day.. I think that was the answer i got. 'it should work if your chipset is supported' but Ive not tried it.. yet. [13:43] Dr_Willis, well I'm writing about it, do you think it's OK to say that grub2 has been the default bootloader since 9.10? [13:43] Then I have to reboot this box to see if it can be alright. [13:44] sion: i imagine the grub2 wiki page/docs tell you when. worse that can happen is comeone corrects you. [13:44] 'grub2 has been the default for the last few ubuntu releases' :) [13:44] how decode mss2 codec in ubuntu? [13:44] Thanks a lot. Then chipset, too. Actually, I'm worried about it because my box is a little older one. [13:45] Thanks a lot anyway, [13:45] I wouldn't say 'last few releases' in case it gets read a few years from now, thanks for the help! [13:45] ive only recently seen usb3 hard drives or usb3 expansion cards. :) [13:45] HI [13:45] how decode mss2 codec in ubuntu?

[13:52] nevermind, i got it. the command needs to be run when in pairing mode [13:52] Hello. I forgot my BIOS password and now I am trying to recover it by installing the BIOS again following a tutorial on the net, they say I need a usb stick formated in FAT, and put the .fd file in the root of the usb stick ( how do you store something in a root??) then conect it to the AA1 ( do not know what that is, but since it is a USB stick, I'll stick it to the USB port...) Any way, is this the right way to do a recovery? I do not want to mess [13:52] my netbook [13:53] Licuadora: isn't it easier to remove the CMOS battery?

[13:53] Licuadora: I would guess that the AA! refers to an "Acer Aspire One" [13:53] Dr_Willis, don t get why i should wait: i want to try gnome 3 not unity. and this computer won t suit the 11.04 anyway... [13:53] tnx sion [13:53] madc|SPYnX, you're welcome [13:54] won t it be easier to go from 10.10 to 11.04 than 10.04 LTS to 11.04? [13:54] Guest66271: i would suggest some updated live cd that comes with gnome-3, for a good 'test' of gnome3 [13:54] Just running gnome-shell --replace, will proberly give you a mixed gnome+gnomeshell desktop [13:54] ciao [13:54] !list [13:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [13:54] Dr_Willis, ok. But this machine, from a liveCD, and my experience on liveCDs is that everything is SO slow... [13:54] Is gnome-shell even in a usealbe state right now? ive not heard much about it in some time. [13:55] Guest66271: its a 'test' so what if it s a little slow.. [13:55] I thought Gnome 3.0 was only coming out next month? [13:55] Guest66271: install it to a flash drive for some speed boots. or set up grub2 to boot the iso file. :) [13:55] I think that's when the release party is anyway === sion is now known as sinisterstuf [13:55] sion: with all the names/changes/stuff.. i havent been paying attention. :) [13:56] Dr_Willis, ok. sion, it s for April, 11th. Right. But can t wait. I ll still try to upgrade to 10.10 then teste the repos [13:56] I havent seen much in any of the new 'desktops' that will make my work-flow any better. [13:56] siema [13:56] Hi, someone with some knowledge on installing patched .deb ? === lol is now known as Guest22536 [13:56] Dr_Willis, from what i've been reading about gnome3.0 it aims to improve your workflow a lot [13:57] sinisterstuf: if your work flow is the same as they designed it for I guess. :) [13:57] * Dr_Willis wonders if 'work flow' is a new buzz word.. [13:57] Dr_Willis: an old one :-) [13:57] Dr_Willis, well they tested it on different people. some big differences are that there are no more minimise and maximise buttons, only close [13:58] and no more gnome panels either [13:58] sinisterstuf: that change totally breaks my work flow. [13:58] uses workspaces instead [13:58] Dr_Willis, do you ever minimise things? === Guest75652 is now known as DarkDevil [13:58] i fullscreen everything normally.. so the panels/workspaces dont really matter. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest97453 [13:59] my pannel works same as a workspace. [13:59] Dr_Willis, anyway, they removed the buttons, not the functionality, you'll still be able to fullscreen things [13:59] Dr_Willis, So, should I create a new directory (folder) in the USB stick so the Bios thinks is a root? [13:59] just you won't press maximise, you'll drag the windows to the top of the screen [13:59] Im reminded of the still nice featureset of good ole 'windowmaker' [13:59] sinisterstuf: i hate the drag to side maxamizes/whatever stuff.. always doing it by accident [13:59] I was the windows user and on windows it is not normal if I have such many processes like on ubuntu, is it normal for linux? [14:00] Dr_Willis, i think i'm to new to know windowmaker [14:00] Many of these old window maangers still ahve some VERY nice features I miss. [14:00] karlo94, i have 169 processes, 1 of which is running (according to conky) what about you? [14:00] Vertical 'dock/launcher' = the windowmaker warf. Now redone in unity. :) [14:01] another one: any kernel > 2.6.31 is not able to boot: screen gets black and nothing happens... [14:01] Dr_Willis, I achieved a 'similar' effect with docky in panel-mode aligned to the left [14:01] Someone with some knowledge on installing patched .deb ? ( make && makefile ) [14:01] sinisterstuf, how I can view it without conky? [14:01] so in my updates, it s a bit hard cause i can t use newer kernels and i stick to my old kernel boot [14:02] Dr_Willis, i m upgrading :) had to do it. wifi doesn t work anyway in any kernel now... [14:02] karlo94, how about the command: pstree [14:02] t0bis`, what are you trying to do? [14:03] Dr_Willis, it s all about old inprocomm chipset from windows drivers (ndiswrapper) [14:03] Dr_Willis, I think I have used window maker, except it didn't look nearly as fancy as it does in the gallery on their website [14:03] sinisterstuf, it doesn't print out how many processes are there :/ [14:03] hi there [14:04] Does Ubuntu 10.10 use /dev/udev rules for USB devices? [14:04] Or some other scheme? [14:04] sinisterstuf: its not fancy at all. its clean and tidy. it can even run on low # of color screens nicely heh. [14:04] !udev [14:05] phoenixsampras: just a heads up...found a nice workaround for my bluetooth headset issue from an hour ago (in case you're interested) http://askubuntu.com/questions/8409/autoconnecting-bluetooth-devices [14:05] I get confuse is hal now replaced by udev.. or was it the other way around? [14:05] or is there a new name to rember? === insub is now known as d_e_r_p [14:06] karlo94, it might not be accurate but you can count the numbe of lines output by pstree by typing: pstree | wc -l === kornel is now known as Ibowi === Ibowi is now known as register [14:07] Dr_Willis, i think hal was probably replaced by something else (probably udev) not the other way around === register is now known as Ibowi [14:07] bc81: thank you [14:07] sinisterstuf, 88 processes [14:08] karlo94, that's not so much is it? how many do you estimate you had running in windows? [14:08] phoenixsampras: sure thing. i think it's quite a clever script. too bad this behavior isn't already built in to ubuntu [14:08] hi guys. I'm trying to copy 170 gb data to an external usb hdd. Now that i've reached 45 gb the copy speed has decreased by two thirds. so it's now three times slower. Why is that so? [14:09] karlo94, btw I can really recommend you install conky, it's very cool [14:09] sinisterstuf, something like 35 [14:09] sinisterstuf, I know but my computer is to slow, I tryed it, but it doesn't work :/ [14:09] karlo94, I suppose linux just splits things into smaller tasks [14:09] karlo94, do you have enough swap space? [14:09] sinisterstuf I want to install a patched wine [14:10] wine sucks. [14:10] I just installed ubuntu do I have build in ansi c compiler? [14:10] t0bis`, and you have the deb? can you not just: gdebi packagename.deb [14:10] it's not a deb [14:10] sinisterstuf, how do I can look swap space? xD [14:10] dejan_: sudo apt-get install build-essential [14:11] gcc is build in? [14:11] i have followed this tutorial : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4438288&postcount=3 [14:11] dejan_, the GNU C Compiler comes bundled with Ubuntu [14:11] dejan_: do the command o [14:11] gcc is included in ubuntu? [14:11] yes [14:11] thanks [14:11] So no one can tell me why copy speed decreases while copying large files? [14:11] add sudo apt-get install build-essential too [14:12] karlo94, there should be a partition on your harddrive used for swap space, the size of the partition is how much swap space you have [14:13] t0bis`, in that tutorial the first block of code is to create a deb file and the second part is to uninstall wine, after that you just double-click the deb file you made in step 1 [14:13] gcc is not installed by default. but its in the repos.. [14:13] sinisterstuf, hmm, I do not know :/ ..I have just one partition [14:14] karlo94: try the 'free' command. [14:14] anyone know where vino saves config info? [14:14] Dr_Willis, thanks, didn't know that command [14:14] sinisterstuf the point is i don't find a .deb in the new folder, only the usual files with wine make and makefile [14:14] Dr_Willis, total swap:1690620 [14:15] <[segfault]> Alphanaut: .vino if I remember correctly [14:15] haha [14:15] great [14:15] karlo94: there ya go.. [14:15] karlo94: free -m = shows it in mb. [14:15] what log do I need to look into to see errors if some program crashed, so I can see why it crashed? [14:16] t0bis`, you should have received some kind of error during the 'make' or at some other point, but most likely there [14:16] t0bis`, from what I understand you've built a custom/patched wine and you want to install it via the .deb mechanism?? [14:16] Dr_Willis, 1650 mb ..thats good? :D and tnx [14:16] yes karla [14:16] karlo94: thats what you got.. what you need.. depends on what you are doing [14:16] hahah karla from where are you? xD [14:17] karlo94, US, lol [14:17] karla, croatia (in europe) [14:18] karlo94, i know :)) (the europe part) [14:18] there're several bots in IRC with features (like lookin up dictionary, wikipedia, etc)... is there a similar bot (not related to IRC) running in terminal or so (which i can use alone) ?? [14:18] Hmm [14:18] what log do I need to look into to see errors if some program crashed, so I can see why it crashed? [14:18] karla, many people do not know that croatia exists.. xD [14:18] asdofindia: eggdrop lol [14:19] asdofindia: i don't know, but you could always run a local irc server i guess [14:19] asdofindia, you could probably install things to emacs or vim to make them do that for you, but I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve [14:19] i just don't want to run firefox for every dictionary query [14:19] karlo94, weird, but I would have guessed you're Croatian [14:19] karlo94, what you want to do is install wine using DESTDIR= and then create a control file and build a .deb using dpkg-deb [14:19] asdofindia: you can use the 'dict' command from the console to look up definitions [14:19] asdofindia, then why not use the Dictionary program? === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [14:19] jenia: you can check in /var/log/messages or see if your program logs to any of them. YOu can also access the logs via System Admin Log Viewer [14:20] sinisterstuf, but wikipedia too [14:20] ya, dict command's nice [14:20] i ws just askin if there was a bot [14:20] (whom i could call a slave) [14:21] (it'd be a fantastic starting point for AI softwares) [14:21] asdofindia, you could read the source code for dict, see how it works, and write something similar for wikipedia [14:21] ya i cud [14:22] but if someone has already done it [14:22] it'd be a waste [14:22] nobody has, i guess [14:22] if you install libwww-wikipedia-perl you get a 'wikipedia' script that can do what you want === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [14:23] asdofindia: i'd look at wolfram alpha as well, since it integrates a dictionary as well as several other "AI" things. haven't found a client so far though. [14:23] asdofindia, at the terminal type: dig +short txt .wp.dg.cx [14:23] asdofindia: there is envbot and supybot [14:23] asdofindia, replace with what you want to search wikipedia for [14:23] Hiya. I'm having trouble with a radeon HD 4670 graphics [14:23] Is there anything to do about the poor rendering of .png pictures in a .pdf file using Evince? [14:24] asdofindia, that's what you were trying to do, right? [14:24] Hi, can I combine awesome with some graphical effects like compiz? [14:24] whoever mentioned wolfram, google pwns it [14:24] Morten_, not sure ... but it doesnt seem to be poor rendering on this end [14:24] sinisterstuf: obviously no it doesn't, as they're totally different things [14:24] I need some glasses... I've just found the .deb right upstair, sorry for disturbing and thx sinisterstuf and karla ;) [14:24] With the radeon driver the screen gets garbled after the login. I installed the fglrx from ubuntu package manager and with the fglrx I get a picture. But the 3d acceleration and open gl apps don't work [14:24] coz_, which version do you have? [14:24] Morten_, are they your images or ones that cam with the pdf [14:24] Morten_: have you looked to see if its a bug? [14:24] sinisterstuff, yeah, sth laddat... i'll alias it [14:25] Morten_, 2.3.0.3 [14:25] Morten_, 2.30.3 [14:25] coz_, they are my images, and they look fine in okular. [14:25] what advantages does amavisd offer over running spamassassin by itself? [14:25] t0bis`, it's [14:25] Jeruvy, a bug? - its like that for all my .png's [14:25] Ati download link for the latest Linux driver doesn't work..any ideas on what I could try to do to get this to work [14:25] t0bis`, ok [14:25] t0bis`, you're welcome [14:25] Morten_, ah mm what resolution did you save them as and how did you create the pdf? [14:25] Morten_: I asked, if you checked... [14:25] coz_, ah ok, perhaps I should update. [14:25] Jeruvy, how do I check for that? [14:26] how do i get wallpaper to show on my external monitor instead of the laptop monitor which i have disabled? even though i've selected a wallpaper the external monitor just shows a black background [14:26] launchpad.net, and search there. That is the official bug tracker. [14:26] AlsoAlso, when I enable to much visual effects, my graphical card crashes completely. [14:26] Is there any computer that is known to deal very well with graphical stuff like compiz. [14:26] hey guys i just installed windowsxp on virtualbox VM, how do i get the internet working in the vm? [14:27] so i can surf the net from windows [14:27] Somelauw, compiz is most reliant on the video card [14:27] Somelauw, of course a higher en CPU and memory cant hurt [14:27] trick, I think you can connect it to your ubuntu computer, and get internet from tehre [14:27] trick, you should probably install some drivers from your manufacturer. [14:27] coz_, hmm, they are 796*572 [14:27] I have an Nvidia graphics card. [14:28] trick, verify your type of the connection between your virtual network card and the physical one [14:28] i wonder if my question is too pedestrian for you guys [14:28] Jeruvy, ok, thanks, I will look. [14:28] Morten_, what about DPI [14:28] hello [14:28] Jeruvy: ok, thanx, I will check it now, I have Nautilus crashing when I rightclick on some video files and go to properties or CD-Rom and try to unmount it, but not every time. [14:28] Morten_, generall I use inkscape to create pdf files and set DPI either at 300 dpi or 600dpi [14:29] hi [14:29] Morten_, this way regardless of printed size both images and text should be near flawless [14:29] coz_, I don't know the DPI, I get the images from the program, root.. Is there a way to check it? [14:29] coz_, well, it looks fine when I print it. [14:30] Morten_, oh ok let me check on testing dpi hold on [14:30] coz_, and in other pdf-viewers [14:30] Somelauw: have you searched for drivers? [14:30] how to configure polipo to go through an auto-config proxy (proxy.pac) ? [14:31] I tried to install ubuntu on a K9MM-V motherboard, installed alongside windows, when it finished and needed to restart... clicked restart and it hung on this big purple screen === richard is now known as Guest48157 [14:31] when I restarted it with the power button, it just booted to windows and I'm trying the install again === Guest48157 is now known as richardfullmer [14:31] what's up with it? :P [14:31] Morten_, interesting that evince is doing this... although I find okluar nice but a bit much for my needs [14:32] Gyndawyr, are you sure your cdrom is set in bios to boot first? [14:32] be right back...nature call [14:32] coz_, yeah, it very strange and kinda irritating. Okular is too bloated somehow, and I like evince. [14:32] does it have to boot from CD after the restart? [14:33] Sorry, for some reason my computer crashed (probably some graphical effects) [14:33] that might have been the problem. Though, it's hung before when I tried the "live CD" option in exactly the same way [14:33] Gyndawyr: what was the exact same way? [14:34] it had the same problem but on the live CD [14:34] froze up on a big purple screen [14:34] Gyndawyr: When installation is complete it asks you to reboot the machine, it also tells you to remove the CD and hit enter. So, no it does not need the CD to reboot. [14:37] I believe coz_ was saying that I need more cpu and memory. [14:37] I really like graphical effects, but my ubuntu hangs a lot when enabling them. [14:37] Maybe I can enable graphical effects if I disable my de or something? [14:38] Somelauw, What are the specs of your system? [14:38] What is the command to see specs? [14:38] Somelauw, not all hardware is made equal, select the effects which don't have a severe penalty on you particular system's performance [14:38] Somelauw: without a DE you have no use for desktop effects [14:38] !lshw | Somelauw [14:38] Anybody have a link to the 11.2 catalyst driver for ati cards.. Because the official link on atis website doesn't work [14:38] it just worked off the live cd somehow [14:38] is there a command to hide all panels [14:38] Somelauw, ugh, just lshw [14:39] Somelauw, well which card is in the system now,,, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga === insub is now known as Guest15605 [14:40] hi. is there any way to install ubuntu using the alternate cd without internet connection? === yp is now known as Guest48340 [14:41] vingtras: alternate install won't need inet-connection [14:41] hi all does ubuntu has omapfb for beagle board? [14:41] vingtras: Yes, the alternate cd will install a full version of ubuntu, it just uses a text based installer instead of the graphical one of the livecd [14:41] why [14:42] why guest [14:42] why why [14:42] Good day all , i-humble have done this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10100007&postcount=6 ...but result is > http://pastebin.com/S4zXJYrx , how to solve it ? [14:42] hi i'm trying to install 10.10 64b desktop on my 8100, but after the boot from the cd the system freezes. md5sum is correct, could anyone help me? [14:42] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96M [Quadro FX 770M] (rev a1) [14:42] llutz_: when running the install it asks me for my internet connection [14:42] stanman246, can you boot into live cd? [14:42] Or do you really want to see all the specs? [14:42] vingtras: just say no [14:43] http://pastebin.com/zrhBkUXZ [14:43] nope [14:43] but then i cant finish the install [14:43] vingtras: we're talking about alternate not the minimal-cd? [14:43] hi all does ubuntu has omapfb for beagle board? [14:43] Windows works most of the time, but ubuntu feels a little crashy on this computer. [14:44] stanman246, ohh ok no idea then [14:44] Somelauw, that video card should be more than adequate to run compiz [14:44] Somelauw, oh mm hold on let me check something [14:44] okay [14:44] Abhijit, should i try the alternate cd? I can move my mouse around and the panels load after that the system freezes [14:45] Since my computer already crashed 2 times in 15 minutes when enabling visual effects. [14:45] it's an i-5 660 machine [14:45] Somelauw, did you install t he nvidia driver for that? [14:45] Yes [14:45] stanman246, i reallyu dont have any idea what to do if cd doont boot. i was actually thinking to confirm that you have 64 bit cpu and to do that we need to boot into live cd . thats why i aksed yo what question [14:46] Anyone who thinks they might have a job lead for a remote C/C++/Objective-C developer, please message me for resume/portfolio... thanks :-] [14:46] AkumaStreak: please don't advertise in here [14:46] Somelauw, ok open a terminal type compiz --replace ccp & and if any errors paste the entire readout on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [14:46] version 173 [14:46] Abhijit, i see... it's a 64bits cpu allright [14:46] coz_, my that day problem of flash player solved. we find the packecd installed by doing some dpkg -l | grep flash then then we removed it. and problem solved. one guy from another channel. help me. thanks to your time too!!! :-) [14:46] i will try [14:46] stanman246, hmm [14:47] what is that line of code supposed to do? [14:47] Abhijit, ah I thought t here were leftovers :) very cool [14:47] coz_, :-) [14:47] Somelauw, that should start compiz [14:47] ubuntu has taken half of the space from the windows partition for no reason [14:48] is this what it's supposed to do? [14:48] Somelauw, just dont close the terminal [14:48] I did [14:48] I thought "install alongside" would use the free remaining space on the drive [14:48] Somelauw, oh then compiz will close [14:48] Oh, okay console it still open [14:48] Somelauw, ok and are there errors [14:48] And all minimized windows suddenly got actived [14:48] Gyndawyr: i think there is a separate "use free space" option [14:48] any opinion ? [14:48] No errors so far [14:48] ok [14:48] Somelauw, ok now move a window [14:49] LjL: is there any way of getting my NTFS space back> [14:49] Gyndawyr: i think GParted should be able to resize NTFS [14:49] Gyndawyr, gparted [14:49] does that come with ubuntu? [14:49] But since all my gnome-terminals are transparant, my screen is noisy (but in a beautifyl way) [14:49] !info gparted | Gyndawyr, it's in the repositories [14:49] Gyndawyr,: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.2-1ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 463 kB, installed size 1380 kB [14:49] you should probably do it from a live cd [14:49] and can it convert the ext4 space into NTFS, assuming ubuntu decided it wants it? :) [14:49] I just moved a window [14:50] Somelauw, ok type exit in that terminal [14:50] I typed exit [14:50] Gyndawyr: don't know if it can resize ext4 yet. worst case, you reinstall ubuntu :P [14:50] Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system. [14:50] Still no errors :P [14:50] Somelauw, now go to system/preferences/compizconfig settings manager [14:50] Somelauw, when you tyhpe exit hit enter also [14:50] I did [14:51] I did type enter off course :P [14:51] Quick question about grub config on 10.04 server... I'd like a VGA console, but the top of grub.cfg has in big letters "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE," so I imagine that if I add the necessary parameters, it might break some other automated process that manipulates that file... so, how does one _properly_ switch 10.04 server to a vga console? [14:51] Somelauw, ok :) just wanted to be sure [14:51] But nothing really changed when I exited that terminal. [14:51] Somelauw, right ,, did you open compizconfig-settings manager [14:51] I did [14:52] Somelauw, ok on the left if the list of categories... click on the Effects category [14:52] yes [14:52] Somelauw, make sure window decoration wobbly windows and Animations plugins are ticked [14:53] Fading windows is ticked to. [14:53] Somelauw, click on the Window management category now... tick...move window...place windows...Put..resize winodw [14:54] When clicking wobbly windows: Plugin Snapping Windows provides feature edgeresistance which is also provided by Wobbly Windows [14:54] Somelauw, now grab a window on its title bar and move it around...does it wobble? [14:55] how can I see the ip which wireless router dhcp assigned me? [14:55] hello ubuntu [14:55] It wants me to disable snapping windows when I want to enable wobbly windows [14:55] Somelauw, disable it [14:55] i'm grabbing 10.04.2 lts 64b now to see if that would work. I really like to have 10.10 64b on the machine though :) [14:55] Yes windows do wobble. [14:55] Somelauw, ok then compiz is running [14:55] guys what would cause a 'Bad file number' error in ssh? [14:56] problem:wvdial gives error code 16 & 17 at odd times : why and how to avoid it?? === administrator is now known as Guest73077 [14:56] dejan_: I'd guess ifconfig will have it === zero is now known as Guest24682 [14:56] 怎么是英文的 [14:56] if some questions are not being answered here at this particular time..espeically networking... etc you can try ##Linux channel [14:56] I am just seeking a way to make it crash less often. [14:57] Pumpkin-: ok thanks i will search a while [14:57] Somelauw, not sure what the crashing is about [14:57] coz_, was that for me?/ [14:57] Somelauw, this is ubuntu 10.10 ... yes? [14:57] Yes, 10.10 [14:57] TingTongTux, sure if it applies :) [14:57] But it crashes a lot when working. [14:57] Hi guys!!! [14:57] Somelauw, not sure what that is about... but in compizconfig settings manager also known as ccsm there is a carsh report plugin [14:57] Question... [14:58] Why are you not using the server at irc.ubuntu.com ? [14:58] 有打中文字的不？ [14:58] guys i got this gnome failed load panel error, now my sound & empathy panel is not being loaded on start up === Guest24682 is now known as _joker_ [14:59] yes i foolishy deleted the panel === Guest97453 is now known as DarkDevil [14:59] anyway to restore it ? [14:59] Nah, what happens is that it often just freezes, so I can see my screen, but not do anything. [14:59] ryuguns: what difference does it make? [14:59] can anyone help with Xorg eating up 100% and hanging my 10.10 desktop machine constantly? [14:59] !resetpanels | Who828 [14:59] Who828: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:59] meh... [14:59] logging in remotely and running top shows 100% Xorg process [14:59] codemagician, nvidia graphics? [14:59] And sometimes, my screen turn to some color before it completetely freezes === DarkDevil is now known as Guest77446 [14:59] I thought it would make more sense [14:59] lol [14:59] It is very annoying [14:59] coz_, yes its an ASUS EN210 with GeForce 210 chipset [15:00] And when you restart and check the logs, they are all empty. [15:00] codemagician, could be the nvidia driver causing this... you may want to try a different driver in the additional hardware dialog [15:00] coz_, I have already updated to latest drivers [15:00] Only google chrome seems to understand that something crashes since it offers to restore the websites you visited last time. [15:00] codemagician, oooo ok [15:00] coz_, i used the PPA repo [15:00] coz_, took it from 260.19.06 to 270.29 [15:01] Also for some reason when I rebooted ubuntu, it switched its theme to clearlooks for some reason. [15:01] codemagician, ok ...often ,,,in the past nvidia was the cuprit with this... you might want to install htop and see exactly what is eating things up [15:02] coz_, shall I leave it running on my remote machine [15:02] codemagician, I suppose so ,,, you mean while running htop? [15:02] Maybe it is because I visited google images. [15:02] I will visit google images right now and see if it will crash. [15:03] coz_, i just installed it and I'm logged in from a laptop using SSH. I will leave htop running and next time it goes screwy, what shall I look for? [15:03] Somelauw, google images is also extremely poor and a resource hog [15:03] codemagician, cool at least you should get an idea of what is hogging things up [15:03] coz_, last time I used top and xorg was 100% [15:04] coz_, it goes to 100% and even the mouse pointer freezes [15:04] codemagician, ooo the first entry is the one to look at ...the move down the list according the the least amount used [15:04] coz_, im not even sure how to send xorg a signal to restart [15:04] codemagician, log off an don [15:04] and on [15:04] maybe? [15:05] coz_, but how to I logoff if my desktop is frozen. is there a command line method? [15:05] Is google images really able to make pc's crash? [15:05] codemagician, ctrl+alt+F1 log in sudo restart gdm or sudo restart kdm depending what you use [15:06] When my computer freezes, I can't even switch to a tty. [15:06] Then it is really frozen [15:06] Somelauw, and ctrl+alt+F1 doesnt work? [15:06] coz_, using gnome but even ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't work when this occurs [15:06] Somelauw: that's why God created reset button [15:06] codemagician, mmm [15:06] coz_, thats why I have to stay logged in remotely [15:06] codemagician, ah mm ok I am puzzled at this point [15:07] what are .sys and .cmd files? [15:07] Yes, but I would rather fix the cause of my crash instead of pressing the restart button about 5 times an hour [15:07] coz_, should i change the appearence settings [15:08] coz_, Visual effects, none, standard or enhanced [15:08] so anyone want to take a stab at this one. on bootup the screen shows the background i selected, then a few seconds later the background goes black and i cant get it to show again. [15:08] codemagician, well if testing for other things yes disable compiz and choose "None" or alt+F2 metacity --replace or in terminal metacity --replace & disown [15:08] well bye [15:09] coz_, xorg is at 90% now [15:09] Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system. [15:09] problem:wvdial gives error code 16 & 17 at odd times : why and how to avoid it?? [15:09] coz_, 95% and rising [15:09] codemagician, my guess is that it is the nvidia driver === maelstrom is now known as Guest71660 [15:09] coz_, is there anything I can do now before it blows up [15:10] codemagician, I doubt it blow up but you should ceratinly report a bug with the ppa maintainers for this [15:10] Really, I hate it when stuff crashes. [15:10] codemagician, is this xorgedgers stuff? [15:12] Hiyas [15:13] BluesKaj, hey guy [15:13] coz_, had to hard reset. [15:13] codemagician, oh yeah thats the other alteranative :) [15:13] coz_, last message I got was about submitting bug report [15:13] codemagician, is this xorgedgers PPA? [15:13] hey [15:13] coz_, but im not sure if its Xorg or nvidia drivers [15:13] coz_, what if I wasn't a guy :)? [15:14] codemagician, it would be a bug for the ppa that you used for this [15:14] coz_, im beginning to regret going for ubuntu [15:14] ssomehow I have broken the connection between mp3 and the decoder. Now when I select an mp3 file movie player opens and says it needs the codec for text/html - how do I clear/fix this. If I open the MP3 in rhythmbox all is ok [15:14] BluesKaj, ah :) dudette ? [15:14] codemagician, no once you begin to deal with ppa's and the like it is no longer a default supported system ..so finding solutions is going to be much harder espeically in this channel [15:14] coz_, my machine wont stay up for more than 20mins. i can't get any development done :-( [15:14] have we heard anything about the last set of updates causing a red screen to appear over some flash video's probably on 32 bit machines only? [15:15] my nick works for me , coz_ :) [15:15] coz_, is there a channel for ppas? [15:15] codemagician, mm what were you using prior ? [15:15] coz_, imac [15:15] BluesKaj, :) [15:15] codemagician, not that I am aware of... no but there should be on laucnpad a place to report bugs for that ppa [15:16] hmm any reason i cant seem to move the network manager applet on the top of screen status bar? [15:16] it's locked in the far right corner and there's no unlock or move options [15:16] Alphanaut, right click untick Lock to panel middle click move >? [15:16] they dont exist on this applet [15:17] Alphanaut, I bet there is a nearly imperceptive line just before that ,, [15:17] oh wait i had to click about 1/2 inch to the left where there's no icon [15:17] Alphanaut, that is what you should right click [15:17] yep [15:17] :) [15:17] yah i cant even see the line in this theme [15:17] how can I install a tar package on ubuntu 8.04 ? [15:17] codemagician, bug tracking for ppa's [15:17] also stil no background image, cant get that to show no matter what i do [15:17] codemagician, tu [15:17] codemagician, not that I am aware of... no but there should be on l [15:17] Alphanaut, yeah I know ,, dome theme creators dont take everything they need into account [15:18] codemagician , sorry wrong post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ [15:18] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: "tar" isn't a "package" [15:18] I have one advanced question [15:18] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: its is jsut a compressed archive. You'll ahve to loko at what it contains to see what you're supopsed to do with it [15:18] what config file defines what desktop background i have selected? perhaps i'll look in there [15:18] X11.conf? [15:18] actually tar does not have compression [15:18] [TK]D-Fender: I am new, I want to install mysqlworkbench , I have downloaded the source code , but I dont know what to do with the source code [15:19] i dont see it in there tho [15:19] <[TK]D-Fender> peep`: Sorry, yes.. I reflexively assumed the common g-zipped [15:19] i see :) [15:19] oliver_, just registered. so I'll take a look to see if there is a bug [15:19] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: You should be able to get that right from the Software Center [15:20] my laptop is conected to 2 separate connections from different Internet service provider, so my lan is connected to conection 1 and myw an is conected to conection 2, so the connections are from separate isp and have nothing in common, so my question is: if 2 visitors come to my wwebsite, can I use 2 connections at the same time to upload pages to the visitors? with connection 1 i will handle first visitor and with conection 2 other visitor? [15:20] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: Did you look? [15:20] [TK]D-Fender: mysql workbench is not there [15:20] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ [15:21] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: they list Ubuntu specifically. They should probably be giving yuo a .deb instead with that [15:21] Alphanaut: The desktop background image is part of your personal gnome configuration, not the system X11 configuration. [15:21] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: indeed they do. THIS is what you should be using [15:21] hellooooooooooooo ! [15:21] hmm well it refuses to show the background. it shows the image for about 3 seconds after bootup but then disappears and the background is black [15:22] Alphanaut: Run gconf-editor and click /desktop/gnome/background for the settings. [15:22] [TK]D-Fender: I have tried this too. but since mine zis 8.04 none is working for me , they break in th emiddl of installation [15:22] hi [15:22] hahah that was it [15:22] Alphanaut: The background can be overridden by a theme. Did you try customizing your theme? [15:22] background was unticked for some reason [15:22] what [15:22] yes i did [15:22] it wouldnt show [15:23] but in gconf-editor i ticked image and it shows now [15:23] thanks man [15:23] Alphanaut: Welcome. [15:23] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: Very outdated at this point and no longer supported. We really do recommend you upgrade.. [15:23] [TK]D-Fender: It is not my computer , I dont have the right to change the OS [15:24] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: If you want to try that TYAR, extract it into a folder and go read the installation instructions [15:27] what is shutdown process number ? [15:27] can someone help me with this fail2ban error? http://pastebin.com/25nhiNNZ [15:27] mah454 - 6 I think [15:27] why 6 ? [15:28] back with my usb-problem... if i insert now usbstick, it will be mounted on /media as D612-6350 instead of /media/usb0 [15:28] maybe I don't know what you are asking :) [15:28] where can i change this [15:28] Hey guys - I'm trying to think of a way to auto-map any user that logs into our Ubuntu systems (on Windows domain) to their share on our Windows file server. Any ideas on how to do it? I don't care if it remaps to home directory, remaps to documents, or just creates a link on the desktop. I'm just trying to figure out how I can make it happen. [15:29] Roasted_: adding some scripts to .bashrc ? [15:29] oliver_, seems there are articles about this problem dating back to 2005 on the web [15:29] alex88, hey, I'll do anything. I just have no idea *how* I can go about it. Do you have any ideas? [15:29] k, can someone take a look at this for me, have had a little trouble since booting bt4 last night, ubuntu has disk error now [15:29] http://imagebin.org/141650 [15:30] Roasted_: Use the 'login script=' option in the smb.conf file. [15:30] dajhorn, where's that at? I did a search for "login" in smb.conf and it said not found. [15:30] dajhorn, wait, LOGON script? [15:30] anyone else seem 100% CPU on Xorg process before with Nvidia card? === dfghgfdfgh is now known as __________XD [15:31] this bug has made my machine useless to use === aaron11 is now known as IphoneSuxDroidBa === IphoneSuxDroidBa is now known as iosuxdroidballs [15:32] hi, can someone help me? i'm looking for broadcom (wifi) 4313 bt4 driver, can't understand how to make it [15:32] http://imagebin.org/141650 [15:33] if i have an nvidia graphics processor with Optimus and then select integrated in the bios does the nvidia graphics processor still draw from the battery? [15:33] what is shutdown process number ? [15:33] mah454 - what are you trying to do? [15:33] Roasted_: Yes, that was a typo. If your users will spend most of their time in the gnome desktop, then an alternative is to do it with gvfs. [15:34] dajhorn, we will only be using the gnome desktop. KDE has proven to still be far from sustainable in a business environment. [15:34] crashed again [15:34] dajhorn, but I am not sure how I would utilize gvfs either. [15:34] how would I use ulimit to set a hard 1gb ram limit? bash's man page isn't super clear on what will limit the memory [15:34] dajhorn, how would gvfs help me? [15:35] Roasted_: The domain share would appear with a nice icon in the left-pane of most file dialogs. Look at the gvfs-mount command. [15:35] http://imagebin.org/141650 === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:36] codemagician, try changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf UseEvents True [15:37] Roasted_: In my experience, people understand "always put your files in that icon", but will forgot to use a regular mount point in their home directory. [15:37] dajhorn, well the other curve ball is I want it to auto mount for any user that logs in. If Bob logs in, I want a link to his share. If Fred logs in, I want him to have a link ot his share, etc. [15:37] dajhorn, so I guess I need this to work based on wildcards, almost, to probe whos logged in and seek that user share on our windwos file server and link up accordingly. [15:37] codemagician , just add it under "screen" section [15:37] what is the best download manager? [15:37] Roasted_: That is why you use the %u substitution. Details are in the smb.conf man page. [15:38] dajhorn, sounds good. Just wanted to make sure your suggestion was on page with what I was looking for. :) [15:38] oliver_, what will it do? [15:38] Roasted_: np. [15:38] hi [15:38] dajhorn, my only concern is some reading has suggested I need samba to act as a DC to make this work. I'm not sure how I feel about adding samba DC's to the mix of things. [15:38] can no one help? [15:39] what file do I need to edit so that history doesn't remember duplicates? [15:39] Roasted_: You can do share mapping on the AD side too. [15:39] dajhorn, still through gvfs? [15:39] what config file do I need to edit so that console history doesn't remember duplicates? [15:39] Roasted_: Your choice as the administrator. This is a common problem, so there is more than one solution. [15:40] dajhorn, I want simplicity, yet reliability. Do you have an opinion as to which the beast route is? [15:40] //\\\--------wvdial help----error---16--and--17----------how----do------I-----ditch------it------/////\\\\\\ [15:40] what config file do I need to edit so that console history remembers only unique consecutive commands? [15:40] codemagician, nop its "device" section sorry check out this link http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=39612 [15:41] Roasted_: Don't mixmatch domain controllers. Stay 100% Samba, or 100% Windows. [15:41] dajhorn, that's my fear. I'd rather stay 100% windows for now. [15:41] jenia: .bashrc [15:42] TingTongTux: it would be great if you could not do that again please [15:42] it should contain some history-specific entries already [15:42] Roasted_: You got a suggestion earlier that will work. Add something like `mount -t cifs //myserver/$(whoami) ${HOME}/mystuff` to the local login skel. [15:42] elFidel: thanx [15:43] dajhorn, what, add that to fstab or create a script? [15:43] Roasted_: Don't change the fstab for this job. [15:44] dajhorn, all right. fstab came up in some google searches so I wasn't sure if that's what you were referring to or not. [15:44] dajhorn, would I just add that command to a bin/bash script? [15:44] Roasted_: Do you know about the bashrc and other login scripts? Do you know about gnome session scripts? [15:44] dajhorn, do I know about their existence? yes. Have I ever written any? no. [15:44] ikonia, i after 3 hours or so i ll be getting problem and wont be getting online or disconnecting.......Anyways, I Won't Do It [15:45] Roasted_: Try this: Create a script that can be run by any user that looks like this: gvfs-mount smb://MyServer/$(whoami) [15:46] Roasted_: Add this script to the gnome session such that every Ubuntu user runs it when they login. === akravets__ is now known as bbx_ [15:46] dajhorn, by any user you're talkin 755 +x perms right? [15:47] hai room [15:47] does ubuntu 10.04/10.10 still ship with a failsafe xorg.conf file for fall back ( I don't have a 10.04 or 10.10 box to test on ) [15:47] dajhorn: Yes. You can put it somewhere like /usr/local/bin or include it in the global /etc/profile. Depends on your system. [15:47] why i cant copy files to www root? [15:47] what is PID of shutdown process ? [15:47] dejan_: you need to use sudo to copy them [15:47] dajhorn, I'm doing bin bash right? [15:47] mah454: process ID of the shutdown process [15:47] Roasted_: Yes, you need the whack-bang. [15:47] ikonia: only way? [15:48] yes ... [15:48] dejan_: change the permissions so the directory is not owned by root [15:48] ikonia: i cant with file manager? [15:48] Roasted_: #!/bin/bash as the first line in the script. [15:48] dajhorn, and just $ or is the (whoamI) relevant? [15:48] русские есть? [15:48] dejan_: if you launch the file manager with gksudo you can [15:48] can you help [15:48] Roasted_: $() is relavant. It means "substitute the value of this command". [15:48] how to launch fm with gksudo [15:48] dajhorn, parathesis included? [15:48] so, what happened over the weekend with 10.04? I let it update and reboot friday. Today I'm getting all kinds of permission errors. Nvidia drivers shot, vbox not starting, etc. Anyone else affected by latest updates? [15:49] dejan_: type "gksudo nautlius" [15:49] Roasted_: Yes. Try it at the command prompt. [15:49] ikonia: thanks [15:49] nautilus? [15:49] dajhorn, firing up my ubuntu test box on the domain now [15:49] Roasted_: Remember that your Ubuntu usernames need to match your Windows user names. If not, then you have a bunch more work. [15:49] ikonia: nautilus or nautlius? [15:49] hi guys [15:49] dajhorn, and its failing to authenticate. oh boy... what did I do on friday.... [15:50] dejan_: nautilus [15:50] dajhorn, this box is on the domain. [15:50] "nautilus" [15:50] dajhorn, it uses windows domain logins. I added it to the domain with likewise-open 6. [15:50] there was a browser called empathy browser. but no in my lucid its not there. how to install it? why it's being removed from repository? [15:50] hello [15:50] ikonia: thaks [15:50] Abhijit: I thought empathy was an IM client ? === ericm is now known as ericm-Zzz [15:51] ikonia, oh god my bad my bad yeah yeah sorry it was mistake!!! the browser i am referring to is epiphany!!!! [15:51] ikonia: it returned some errors but fm opened is this normal? [15:51] dejan_: that's fine [15:51] ikonia: ok thanks [15:51] i always confuse in epiphany and empathy!!! [15:52] dajhorn, have you ever used ubuntu on a windows domain? [15:52] hello. how to make clock appear in 2 rows? ubuntu 10.10 (like in this pic: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=184806&d=1299009174) [15:52] i have python2.5 currently installed on my system. How do install python2.6 system-wide (I'm running 8.1) [15:52] quit [15:52] Roasted_: Yes, but through winbind. [15:52] dajhorn, have you ever heard of likewise? [15:53] Abhijit: The epiphany-browser is in the universe repo. You probably need to enable at the Software Sources panel. [15:53] Roasted_: Yes. [15:53] dajhorn, yeah i got it. thanks! [15:53] Abhijit: Welcome. [15:53] dajhorn, any opinion of it by chance? [15:54] can someone try to login to my ssh - trying to test fail2ban 174.123.47.203 [15:54] Roasted_: No, but Canonical support is currently recommending the likewise product. [15:54] dajhorn, well that's comforting. [15:55] Roasted_: Run the `getent` command. This is a good place to begin troubleshooting domain integration. [15:55] dajhorn, I just forgot this box I did a fresh install on, so Im re-adding it quick === zero__ is now known as _joker_ [15:55] Roasted_: `getent passwd` must return your domain account. === genii-around_ is now known as genii-around [15:56] Hullo people, for some reason I don't get most of these notification bubbles I usually do [15:56] dajhorn, so just to recap, you suggest the gvfs-mount smb://etc etc command in usr/local/bin with 755 +x permissions, then link that script to the gnome session login. right? [15:57] Roasted_: Yes, that is one way to get a good result. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:57] dajhorn, just to make sure, am I using gvfs-mount or .gvfs-mount [15:57] Roasted_: .gvfs is where the remote filesystem will actually be mounted. `gvfs-mount` is the utility that puts the mount there. [15:58] dajhorn, sounds good [15:58] toehio2: Intrepid is out of support. Upgrade if you have the choice. Upgrading the python package will be difficult. [15:59] dajhorn: yes, i'm finding that very true [15:59] can I install openssl 1.0.0 on ubuntu? [15:59] dajhorn: is it possible to upgrade a server without having phsical access to it? === Guest77446 is now known as DarkDevil [16:00] oliver_, what was the rationale behind using Option "UseEvents" "True"... could this fix my hanging problem? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest96735 [16:00] thanks 50.17.36.235 - works well [16:00] toehio2: Yes, but I would do manually at a command prompt. You'll be stuck if you do it through update-manager and your session drops. [16:01] dajhorn: I don't have a GUI anyway [16:01] Hello, I am trying to use a serial graphics tablet on 10.10, how can I do this? [16:01] dajhorn: how safe is upgrading via the command line? [16:01] dajhorn: what does it entail? how much can go wrong? [16:02] Is it possible to restard the notification bubbles somehow? [16:02] toehio2: It depends on how critical the computer is. === kjs_ is now known as kjs [16:02] toehio2: At a minimum, do everything in a `screen` session and keep a second ssh session open. [16:02] key kaspersky http://informatiq-help.blogspot.com/2011/03/kaspersky-lab.html [16:03] dajhorn: OK, thank you. I will consider this option. I don't want it to go wrong and not have access to it! [16:03] toehio2: Run `screen` at the command prompt. Update your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Run `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-upgrade`. [16:04] hi! i installed imagemagick and a nautilus plugin to resize images but can't figure out how to access them [16:04] toehio2: Unless you know how to manually resolve package breakage, you should walk the Intrepid -> Jaunty -> Karmic -> Lucid series. [16:04] dajhorn, I ran that command, but now my terminal is stuck at $ === insub is now known as Guest18375 [16:06] Roasted_: `getent`? Dunno how to troubleshoot it with Likewise. You pretty much need a working NSS configuration to get sane domain membership. [16:06] http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zb/r/GsNJNwuI-UM.gif :-) [16:06] dajhorn, not sure what likewise has to do with it. I'm just using the gvfs-mount command in terminal manually. [16:06] dejan_: why are you posting that here ? [16:07] Roasted_: gvfs-mount? It won't necessarily print anything if it is successful. Check nautilus for the share. [16:07] hi, is allowing root ssh poses security risks? what do you recommend? [16:07] dajhorn, it didn't mount the way I wanted. I have \\server\users\me and it only gave me a link to "users". which is nice, but not optimal. So I wanted to go back to terminal to add a backslash in the command thinking if I had \\server\users\me\ it may trigger to link to MY account, but terminal is stuck at $ only. I cant CTRL Z or C it to exit. [16:07] ikonia: that is image fb uses when contet is loading is direct link to fb image [16:07] jongbergs: not allowing root ssh access :-) [16:07] dejan_: we don't need to see that image [16:07] jongbergs: by default, the account is disabled anyway. === takeshi is now known as takeshi|LUNCH [16:07] Roasted_: \\server\users\me is not a valid SMB share name. [16:07] ikonia: ok im sry :S [16:07] dejan_: this is a support channel [16:07] i know [16:07] dajhorn, how so [16:07] jongbergs: it doesn't hurt to turn off that option, of course (and the ubuntu folks really ought to by default) [16:08] hello [16:08] i know sry :S wont happen again [16:08] jongbergs: why would root need ssh access? just use an account with sudo privs. [16:08] Can anyone help me get a graphics tablet working in 10.10? [16:08] there is a new version? [16:08] Roasted_: It just isn't. It is typical for \\server\me\ to get mapped automatically on the server side. [16:08] after organci ozelot, there will be a perverted pavian? [16:08] Is there a channel about ubuntu 11.04? [16:08] !11.04 | hdhzero [16:08] hdhzero: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. === maco2 is now known as maco [16:09] sipior, mneptok: my new job as sysadmin has the root direct access thru ssh [16:09] dajhorn, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did what you said. my command was smb://server/users/me. was my typing of it just throwing you off or did I do something wrong? [16:09] jongbergs: maybe that's why they fired your predecessor. [16:10] hello ubuntu! I have this strange file on my system I am having trouble dealing with, even when logged on as the root user! [16:10] http://pastie.org/1643674 [16:10] can someone offer an opinion on this situation? [16:10] thx [16:10] bluethundr: you shouldn't be logged in as the root user [16:10] Roasted_: Basic SMB shares don't have path components. You usually can't call /server/foo/bar/baz/bork without some magic. === dude is now known as alteregoa [16:10] sipior, mneptok : i don't think so..the boss is also aware of this [16:10] Roasted_: The mount point is limited to /server/foo. (Rather, SMB is not NFS.) [16:10] dajhorn, then you totally lost me. I was using the command you suggested... [16:10] ikonia, I just sudo'd to root to deal with this file momentarily [16:10] hey bluethundr, some time ago I saw a bug report about that file [16:10] bluethundr: is this an NTFS drive ? [16:11] peep`, oh no kidding [16:11] mneptok: that's why i was thinking to disable root access and create admin account instead [16:11] nope, this is ext3 [16:11] jongbergs: tell me that at least sshd only answers to authorized keys. === seiflotfy__ is now known as seiflotfy [16:11] the thing is you can't deal with it even as root [16:11] Roasted_: First, just try /server/user and check whether the Windows host automatically remaps you. [16:11] bluethundr: look at the permissions on /home/tim/.gvfs [16:11] what is .gvfs anyway? i dont seem to have one [16:11] Can anyone help me get a graphics tablet working in 10.10? [16:12] the gvfs daemons use it [16:12] dajhorn, wow. this thing isnt letting me back on the domain now. [16:12] ah ok [16:12] mneptok: i was also thinking about it..still using root thru password-less login? [16:12] I need help with ubuntu [16:12] jace: what is the question? [16:12] Roasted_: You're probably getting locked for hitting a non-existent share. [16:12] my sony vaio touchpad does not work [16:12] dajhorn, locked? I didnt add the script yet. [16:12] but my usb external does [16:12] dajhorn, I was manually running that command [16:12] jongbergs: you need a password to unlock the key. and you need root's private key installed on any machines that will connect using the root accountr [16:12] -r [16:13] Roasted_: But you just told me that you were trying //server/users/me. 'users/me' is not a valid export in regular SMB. === cyix is now known as ratzinger === vivi is now known as honey_butter [16:13] jongbergs: but even so, enabling root access over ssh is a Very Bad Idea(tm) [16:13] Can someone help me with my floppy drive then. [16:13] can I talk here here? [16:13] dajhorn, I'm not sure how it's not right. if I go to nautilus and type smb://server/users/me, I get to my folder just fine. [16:13] daleharvey2: yes you can talk here here [16:13] I have some windows software for it on floppy disks. [16:14] Roasted_: That is because Nautilus is doing what you want, not what is legal under the hood. [16:14] it wasnt a dumb question, my other irc client doesnt work :p [16:14] There is so much going on in this room, could a ubuntu user pm me for ubuntu touchpads? [16:14] dajhorn, let's rewind, because I'm not sure what I did wrong as I followed your suggested command. What should I do? What command should I use for manually testing gvfs? [16:14] ok, I cant seem to be able to uninstall java 1.6, every time I do it attempts to install other java packages [16:14] http://pastebin.me/d66a6d92426552f737a8d2d2b4149b65 [16:14] hey guys I seem to have access to the directory (it's actually not just a regular file) but I still can't get any info on it [16:14] http://pastie.org/1643697 [16:14] that is my user account has access but the root user doesn't [16:14] Can someone help me with my floppy drive? It is not detecting disks. [16:14] mneptok: ok. just what I have read around the web..it poses security risks..i'll try to consult this with my boss to be clear to him..thanks for your advice [16:15] jace: the irc logic is - ask in channel - provide asmuch infoaspossible - andhopesomeoneisable & willing to help;) [16:15] hola [16:15] Roasted_: You need to read an SMB tutorial. I'm going for coffee. (Sorry.) [16:15] dajhorn, also, I rebooted and the terminal is still stuck in $ mode...... [16:15] ikonia: or anyone have any idea why I can't connect to my wireless router when I set WPA? with Wep and without any security I can coect but only ith WPA I can't why? :( === leaf__ is now known as Guest58435 [16:15] *sry - broken space key ;) [16:15] its pretty confusing for apt-get remove to install 2 packages and remove none [16:15] dajhorn, thanks anyway [16:15] ok I need help enabling my sony vaio laptop touchpad in ubuntu.

[16:25] anyone have any idea why I can't connect to my wireless router when I set WPA? with Wep and without any security I can coect but only ith WPA I can't why? :( [16:26] Roasted_: yes, the PS1 environment variable [16:26] yes [16:26] milind, , its not . its / [16:26] its [16:26] Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid. Is this still correct? Thanks. [16:26] ikonia, I apologize, I have no idea what that means. [16:26] Abhijit, thanks bro...was a typo [16:26] Roasted_: it's just an environment variable, like PATH for example [16:26] milind, never agin do that thing in any channel .user server tab for that. [16:26] Abhijit, point noted [16:26] Roasted_, the PS1 stands for the little few words that appear at your promt every time [16:26] good [16:27] ikonia, I see. not sure if I'm following... how do I flip it back? [16:27] try "cd -", then "source .bashrc" [16:27] Roasted_: you set the PS1 variable to what ever you want the prompt to be [16:27] sensors [16:27] (unless you have modified it in your .bashrc) [16:27] Roasted_: I'm not sure why doing a mount command has changed it, also look at peep`'s suggestion, that is a simpler way [16:27] New Question - I have network manager set to "allow for all users." However, when I boot up it will NOT let me log in to a domain account. I have to log in as a local user, log out, THEN I can log in as a domain account. In short, unacceptable. How can I set it so it'll connect right away regardless of what user is trying to log in? [16:28] ikonia, okay. So I need to set the PS1 variable. How do I go about that? [16:28] Roasted_: it's an environment variable, same as any other, peep`'s suggestion is easier though [16:28] ikonia, peep didn't have a suggestion. he just made a comment. [16:28] i want to rsync a folder to a server and as soon as rsync complets i want to restart apache in that server...can i do all this in a single command? [16:28] How would I increase my ulimit -n for my "www-data" user [16:28] Roasted_: you need to not use network manager as that won't make a connection until you login and activate it [16:29] Roasted_: he made an excellent suggestion, re-read it [16:29] Roasted_: my suggestion was to "cd -" and then "source .bashrc" [16:29] ikonia, according to google, that is incorrect, as "allow for all users" supposedly allows that SSID to connect with network manager prior to logging in. [16:29] "cd -" means "go to my home directory", then "source .bashrc" means "reload my bash config" [16:29] ikonia, I think I may have just been impatient, as I was able to log in just now. Rebooting and I'll wait 30 seconds to see if it'll pick up the wifi [16:29] Roasted_: it won't though [16:29] peep`: its cd ~ or just "cd" [16:29] peep`: No, cd - means to go to the last directory you were in. [16:29] right! [16:29] Roasted_: it will need to bond [16:29] ikonia, how do you know it wont. I think it just worked for me. [16:29] Roasted_: it takes time [16:30] "cd -" is just "go to the previous dir" [16:30] Roasted_: they keys have to be saved though, [16:30] ikonia, bingo. [16:30] sorry for that. ikonia you're right [16:30] ikonia, it worked just now. [16:30] Roasted_: if you do it outside of network manager it will be a lot quicker [16:30] milind, have you tried commadn one && command two? [16:30] ikonia, outside of network manager? as in using what instead? [16:30] Roasted_: using the interfaces file [16:30] :d [16:31] ikonia, for wireless? [16:31] what's the command to find out which package some file was installed from? [16:31] ikonia, that stores the passwords in plain text though, doesnt it. [16:31] peep`, when I ran source .bashrc I got not found. [16:31] Abhijit, so something like rsync -e 'ssh -ax' -avz folder milind@remotehost:/home/milind && sudo service apache restart ? [16:31] hi [16:31] everybody [16:32] Roasted_: what directory are you in when you run it [16:32] Roasted_, you have to go to your home directory first, like this "cd ~" === vivi is now known as honey_butter [16:32] when i said "cd -", i was wrong, as ikonia pointed out [16:32] ikonia, I have no idea, as I'm at the.... $ prompt.... [16:32] milind, yes [16:32] Abhijit, is the second command gonna run in the remote server or in my local machine.. [16:32] your home directory should have the .bashrc file . [16:32] is there such a thing as a virtual soundcard for ubuntu ? [16:32] Running Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-27 64 bit) and I have between 5000 and 7000 context switches per second, there's X, music, some dev tools, etc. running - is that normal?! [16:32] i want it to run it on the remote server [16:32] Roasted_: type "pwd" to know what directory you are in [16:32] peep`, yes I see it. [16:32] milind, local by default. to make it remote you need to tell it so. which i dont know how [16:32] peep`, now what [16:33] like a driver that would emulate a soundcard and allow a machine to record sounds lets say using x11grab === koolhead17 is now known as koolhead17_away [16:33] hmmmm thanks Abhijit i ll look into that [16:33] did you type the "source .bashrc"? [16:33] milind, welcome [16:33] try that and see what happens [16:33] if your prompt (the PS1) doesn't change, then i'm out of tricks. [16:34] peep`, type source as in the full path? [16:34] Roasted_: what directory are you in ? [16:34] just "source .bashrc". "source" means "read all the commands in the file". And ".bashrc" is the file to be read [16:35] ikonia, my home directory. Mind you this is a domain account too [16:35] it only works if you are inside your home directory, because ".bashrc" is there. [16:35] Roasted_: it should be in your home dir then [16:35] so my home dir maps to /home/local/DOMAIN/My_Account [16:35] source .bashrc does absolutely nothing, yet if I show hidden files/folders I see .bashrc in there. [16:35] you can find your home dir with "echo $HOME" [16:36] peep`, yep, thats what it returns with [16:36] Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid. Is this still correct? Thanks. [16:36] i see. Then sourcing your .bashrc doesn't fix your problem ... :| [16:36] well [16:36] I need to find a solution for this [16:36] is the nuisance permanent? [16:37] hey #ubuntu I think that permissions may be messed up on this box [16:37] http://pastie.org/1643766 [16:37] as I will not deploy ubuntu into the field with issues like htis, even if its meaningless [16:37] peep`, yes, Ive rebooted about 7 times and each time its there. [16:37] even tho the ownership is right on these keys, only root can access them [16:37] Roasted_: it's up to you what you do [16:37] Roasted_: if you don't want to deploy it because the prompt isn't what you want and you don't know how to set the prompt to what you want, don't deploy it [16:37] what's the command to find out which package some file was installed from? [16:37] ikonia, that's not the point. [16:37] jenia: apt-file ? [16:37] Roasted_: it is [16:37] jenia: dpkg -S [16:38] ikonia, I want ubuntu to act predictably and sensibly if I'm going to manage it. [16:38] ikonia, retarded issues like this make me think twice unless I know a work around. [16:38] ikonia, SO, I'm going to find a work around. I'm sorry you have a problem with that, but you are not managing these systems. [16:38] thank you. [16:38] Roasted_: if you are unable to set an environment varible, you should not be in a position to make deployment decisions or in a position where you admin a server [16:38] you can set PS1 to whatever you like manually, and once you find someting suitable, write your changes to the .bashrc file [16:38] Roasted_: show me the output of "id" in your terminal [16:38] ikonia, well then explain to me what I am doing wrong? After all, I'm using your suggestions that are not working. [16:38] hhh [16:38] peep`, thanks. I'll look into that. [16:39] you are welcome [16:39] ikonia, appreciate it if you don't insult me, by the way. [16:39] Roasted_: you've not set the PS1 environment variable, that is the problem, however it should be sourced from your home directory, however it's not so there is th bug [16:39] ikonia, I have a lot of experience in mass deployment of systems, as I have 2,000 to manage. [16:39] Roasted_: I'm not insulting you, I'm stating fact [16:39] ikonia, thanks for understanding. [16:39] Roasted_: yet you can't set an environment varible [16:39] Roasted_: Don't take it personally, he lives for it [16:39] ikonia, no, you did. and I'm letting you know. [16:39] ikonia, also keep in mind we dont run linux here. [16:39] Roasted_: it's up to you how you take it [16:39] ikonia, we run windows, and we are trying to put linux into the mix. [16:39] ikonia: You'll be happy to know I have a very promsing job lead now from my IRC trolling! [16:39] ikonia, and this is my job, to figure it out and deploy it accordingly. [16:40] Roasted_: ok, so show me the output of "id" [16:40] My load is constantly > 1 on Ubuntu 10.10 [16:40] ikonia, it's a long, long string. [16:40] Roasted_: ok, paste it [16:40] (if it's a load of lines, pastebin it) [16:40] Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid. Is this still correct? Thanks. [16:40] Roasted_, IRC is not the place for hurt feelings. ikonia is right [16:41] dajhorn: thanx, that's what I needed [16:41] How does LXDE initializez keyboard on start my is royally fucked!! [16:41] Lint: control your language please [16:41] bluethundr, please understand that I am trying to figure out these issues for sake of deploying these systems. You are not in my position, and you are not in this conversation. [16:41] bluethundr, thank you for understanding. [16:41] that mediainfo site didn't work [16:41] all kind of errors [16:42] it uses capslock to swith languages, but stupid keyboard always stuck with uppercase [16:42] Roasted_: can you pastebin the contents of your .bashrc?

I want to save some launchers from a computer to another one [16:42] I rather tired to run setxkbmap manually on each login! [16:42] jenia: Welcome.

[16:45] so i have a question .. what is wrong with downloading .deb files .. can't apt find dependancies [16:45] !upgrade | Ziber [16:45] Ziber: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:45] Roasted_: tell you what, help yourself, I'm out [16:45] Roasted_, please try to remember that everyone here is a volunteer and under no obligation to help [16:46] joeb_, dpkg don't track dependencies [16:46] Jacruth, Hello, try to see if there is a .gnome or .gnome2 file under your home "~/" directory. Those should hold the configs. [16:46] therefore copping a tude will not help your situation [16:46] joeb_: you might want to install the dependencies manually [16:46] Lint- yes but can't apt find dependancies from repos and install them ? [16:46] joeb_: you need to install the dependencies it requires. dpkg will not do it for you.. as you've been told several times. you fail at listening. [16:46] Can I install Ubuntu Desktop on 1GB USB disk? Why do they say you need 2GB if it can fit on a CD? [16:46] Roasted_: the issue was setting $PS1? can you pastebin the contents of your .bashrc? [16:46] joeb_, it should if you use apt and not dpkg [16:46] bastidrazor- you didn't hear me [16:46] i know dpkg won't install them it tells me what dependancies i need [16:47] ok I'm making a new ubuntu partition [16:47] can't apt-get find dependancies in repos / other files and let me install them ? [16:47] and it's asking me:"primary or logical?" [16:47] so what's the problem? [16:47] I'm trying to do this from the command (upgrade, that is...) the "upgradenotes" seems to lack any information on upgrading from an out-of-date version [16:47] joeb_: then use apt-get to install them. [16:47] like a tick box... what gives with this? [16:47] sss314: The Ubuntu Live system will fit on a 1GB USB disk. The regular Ubuntu system needs more than that. [16:47] sss314, You can.

[17:02] I think it's trying to install ubuntu using the already partitioned NTFS space [17:02] Gyndawyr: if you run sudo fdisk -l from a terminal, does it show 500gb altogether? [17:02] thanks genii-around :) [17:02] yes, there is about 120GB of unpartitioned space [17:02] but I believe it's trying to use the NTFS space instead -_- [17:02] hmm [17:02] i have two raid autodetect partitions.. but when doing mdadm --assemble --scan, only one of the partitions are recognized [17:02] Gyndawyr: Well, it shouldn't. It needs to create a swap partition and at least one other ext4 partition. [17:02] sipior: also, in addition to what? [17:03] Gyndawyr: You will not be able to install on NTFS that's for sure. [17:03] Hey folks, I'm about to perform a format and reinstall. What do I need to do to bring my Firefox history and settings over to the new installation? === kpkarl_ is now known as kpkarl === fasf is now known as _joel_ [17:03] Yerushalmi: i believe you need to get the firefox profile [17:03] I removed the printer from the printing list, but.. I can't put it back without its network address, which I have no idea how to find [17:03] Well, I'm not sure what to do about it. So, it's looking like I should go down the "advanced" route. Which brings me to the problem of "Primary" or "Logical", and also, should I save some space for a swap partition? [17:03] how do i manually schedule a boot fsck? [17:04] ruan: How do I do that? [17:04] Yerushalmi: you might use xmarks [17:04] i have no idea what it means by "server name".. [17:04] terry: What's that? [17:04] !fsck | blag [17:04] hello, i wonder if i can install windows 7 from a bootable flash with maverick [17:04] blag: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [17:04] Yerushalmi: http://www.xmarks.com/ [17:05] Yerushalmi: the profile is located in /home/name/.mozilla/randomchars.default/ [17:05] btw, has there been any headway made in the iOS space, reading DVD menus? [17:05] blag: make a fille called forcefsck in the root of the partition you want to fsck. [17:05] still looking for help, terry :S [17:05] HOW tomake my keyboard to switch by ALT-SHIFT instead of capslock WITHPUT running setxkbmap EACH LOGIN? [17:05] \users [17:05] Yerushalmi: the profile contains addons, bookmarks, preferences, etc [17:06] ruan: Interesting... how easy is it to transfer over? [17:06] Yerushalmi: i think you can just back it up and copy it to the new directory [17:06] how do I show a list of available remote versions with apt? google isn't smiling on my searches today. [17:07] hello, i wonder if i can install windows 7 from a bootable flash with maverick [17:07] Yerushalmi: not 100% sure, got to google around first [17:07] Gyndawyr: Yes.... What is your question? [17:07] bastidrazor: thanks, i didn't know ubottu was so bloody useful [17:07] Yerushalmi: i was able to copy a firefox profile from a windows reinstall however [17:07] So, it's looking like I should go down the "advanced" route. Which brings me to the problem of "Primary" or "Logical", and also, should I save some space for a swap partition? [17:08] blag: you're welcome. [17:08] continuing from before, obviously [17:08] mamece2, piracy should not to be discussed here [17:08] Lint, That's not piracy, [17:08] sipior: first time i had this problem...what's new is I installed dropbox [17:08] Gyndawyr: Yes, you need a small swap partition, maybe the size of your RAM. === takeshi|LUNCH is now known as takeshi [17:08] I thought if I left 4GB of space, I guess that'd be enough [17:09] anyway... "primary or logical?" [17:09] Lint, Violation of the MS EULA, perhaps, but that's not much of an issue. [17:09] lint how can you be sure its piracy? [17:09] Pudabudigada: i thought i heard somewhere you could dd the iso file to a flash drive.. but ive never tried it. [17:09] j_ayen_green: could be related to a timeout unmounting the filesystem. what happens if you halt dropbox before issuing a shutdown? [17:09] Gyndawyr: You can have only 4 primary partitions. If you need more, you have to make one extended and then use logical 5 6 7 etc. [17:09] because authentic media is bootable? [17:10] mamece2, first you can do away with the nick, as to your question idk how you plan on doing that [17:10] Gyndawyr: Primary or logical doesn't really matter. [17:10] Lint: so if you have a netbook and can't install from the CD, asking how to make it installable from flash is offtopic due to piracy? i doubt that. [17:10] Gyndawyr: Logical if you need it. [17:10] sipior: i'll try that... right now i'm sitting with ubuntu almost shut down and vbox unable to do anything about it... so I guess my only option is to kill the VM process [17:10] karla what with the nick? o_O am i being discriminated by my nickname? [17:10] ok [17:11] j_ayen_green: half a moment--you're running ubuntu in a VM? [17:11] does mount point make a difference? [17:11] sipior: yes [17:11] Gyndawyr: you decide where you want filesystems mounted for teh most part. [17:11] sipior: running 10.04.1 in vbox [17:11] can I leave it blank? [17:11] Gyndawyr: The limitation is that there can only be 4 primary partitions. If you need more than 4 partitions, you have to make one of the primary ones an "extended" partition and then cut that up into as many logical ones as you want. [17:11] brb [17:11] sipior: under vista [17:12] j_ayen_green: you might have mentioned that earlier...forget looking at the bios settings. [17:12] Gyndawyr: a filesystem with no mount point wont be mounted.. so not very usefull. [17:12] I don't think I'll need more than 4, so I'm going with primary. [17:12] sipior: I did :) [17:12] Gyndawyr: It really doen's matter. You can make the second or third one extended and then take the rest of the drive up in logical partitions. [17:12] sipior: I started with : what do I do when vbox fails to pause the execution of the virtual machine? [17:12] hello I have problem with C# could you help me? [17:12] so does it matter what I pick out of the options I've got? [17:12] lint how can i run a .exe file? [17:12] Gyndawyr: Right. [17:12] j_ayen_green: on a channel like this, it's best not to assume that "new person helping you" has read the stuff you posted ten minutes prior. [17:13] !wine | mamece2 [17:13] mamece2: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:13] mamece2, with wine? [17:13] /boot, /home, /temp, etc... Will it make a difference which one I pick? [17:13] this is the last thing i'll hopefully need help with, also :P [17:13] کانال ایرانی ها کجاس؟ [17:13] sipior: ok... on the other hand...if I assume that any line I type is a new entry point, I'd never get anywhere for repeating every line :) [17:13] Gyndawyr: I usuall only use swap /home and / [17:14] wine doesnt run on maverick dudes [17:14] just slash? Fine, if that'll work. [17:14] please help me. [17:14] Gyndawyr: Making /home the largest. [17:14] j_ayen_green: don't be daft. i think you're clever enough to recognise when you are speaking to someone new. [17:14] Hey guys, looking for kinda an all in one DVD copier that will convert a double layer disk down to size to fit on a regular DVD. Something like windows CloneDVD 2 [17:14] Gyndawyr: but just depends on your needs. [17:14] j_ayen_green: in any event: did halting dropbox fix your problem? [17:14] mamece2, Yes it does. [17:14] Gyndawyr: / is called the 'root' partition.. thats the lowest level of the whole filesystem. [17:14] mamece2, I have it. [17:15] ok ill try again [17:15] Gyndawyr: / is for programs. The root directory [17:15] mamece2, What happened? [17:15] dajhorn, you still out there [17:15] Gyndawyr: but for simplicity you can just have to swap and / [17:15] mamece2: err, wine doesn't run on maverick...? [17:15] Gyndawyr: if you dont understand the differnt partitoons. you prioberly can get by with a / a /home and a swap [artition. [17:15] sipior: :) new yes...but which line they came in on, not. It solved the waiting for it to shut down problem...dont' know yet if it created another or if it's going to shut down ok [17:15] A|i3N: You could have a look at DeVeDe, I've only ever used it to convert video files to DVD, but it has an option to fit them to a dvd so it may be able to convert a dual layer disk to single later [17:15] ??? what do I need three partitions for? [17:15] Wine on Maverick: http://www.multimediaboom.com/install-wine-1-3-13-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-ppa/ [17:16] Gyndawyr: /home/ makes it easier to backup/restore later. [17:16] that would exceed the 4-partition limit of "primary" [17:16] Gyndawyr: You don't need 3. You can do fine with just 2. / and swap [17:16] I'd rather just go with "/" and "swap" [17:16] Gyndawyr: 3 is less then 4.... do what you want... [17:16] oh ok cool I saw that one, we'll try it. Thanks DJones [17:16] having /home split makes things MUCH nicer [17:16] Gyndawyr: That will be fine. just / and swap [17:16] I wouldnt run linux without split partitions. [17:16] 3 is less than 4, unless I include the NTFS partition which is already on there [17:16] Dr_Willis: your math skills are impressive [17:16] A|i3N: I don't know whether it will extract the video though, so it may not be suitable for that [17:17] Gyndawyr: theres no real need to make the linux partions primaries.. [17:17] Roasted_: it is good practise, indeed. [17:17] whatever, / and swap I should use -_- [17:17] Gyndawyr: thats is the layout the default installer uses.. / and swap... [17:17] sipior, you were asking me about the bashrc thing earlier, right [17:17] Roasted_: was i? [17:17] sipior, well, helping me at least. [17:17] sipior, I think? [17:18] Roasted_: probably, i forget. was this about setting the prompt? [17:18] sipior, anyway, I just logged on to another ubuntu system, totally different from before, and I have the $ path there too in terminal, so something changed at the domain level. [17:18] sipior, yes. [17:18] OK Question though - in order to install this software, it wants me to remove FFMpeg Video Postprocessing library and FFMPeg video scaling library. I've got libdvdcss2 and Ubuntu restricted extras installed, so is this going to mess anything up as far as breaking copy protection? [17:18] sipior, its only my account tho, but I find it odd its not just this computer or a setting on it. [17:18] or do I even need FFMpeg [17:18] A|i3N: ffmpeg is used by apps to do video conversion from one type to others.. [17:18] Roasted_: you don't share a home directory across these two machines? [17:19] A|i3N: what progral is wanting to remove ffmpeg? [17:19] A|i3N: You could also look at k9Copy as well, that looks like a better solution [17:19] DeVeDe is [17:19] Gyndawyr: Just make a swap partition (about size of RAM) and then the one other / partition for the rest of the space you've set asside for Linux and you'll be good to go. [17:19] what is channel for mozilla firefox? [17:19] A|i3N: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K9Copy [17:19] sipior, no, both of these machines are fresh installs of 10.04.2 that I added to the windows domain. [17:19] cheers guys. I've done that :) [17:19] sipior, I just fired up this laptop and logged in as myself and bingo - still got the $ in terminal. [17:20] wanting to build a dedicated MySQL server, any issues with going Ubuntu server 64-bit? [17:20] A|i3N: devede uses ffmpeg last i looked.. Ive installed devede befor and dont recall it ever wanting to remove any ffmpeg stuff. [17:20] TingTongTux, #firefox [17:20] I'm guessing a DVD9 disk is a double layer, so I guess that one will work for me :) [17:20] hi all .. there a way to control ubuntu from a mac ? [17:20] anybody know some lite torrent client ? [17:20] Roasted_: and how are you setting the prompt in .bashrc? [17:20] k9copy can do all sorts of things A|i3N not just double layer stuff. [17:20] A|i3N: That says "To copy a normal DVD and shrink it down to 4.7Gb" etc, so sounds ideal for what you want [17:20] sipior, I'm not. [17:20] thanx waxrose [17:20] karlo94: dozens of them.. rtorrent is a fave. [17:20] so many wannabe pirates here [17:20] sipior, I ran a command, gvfs-mount smb://blah.blah.blah and it changed me to a $ on the desktop [17:20] Cool thanks guys! Getting it now [17:20] karlo94: there are lots of torrent clients for ubuntu. check ubuntu software center [17:21] sipior, then I couldnt set it back. I had no clue how to reverse it. On a hunch I went on this laptop and blam, its there too. [17:21] and noone to help me my real problem [17:21] TingTongTux, You are welcome. [17:21] sipior, so clearly something changed at the domain level, and I'm curious on what. These are the things I need to be aware of if we're going to put linux in the classroom. [17:21] Dr_Willis, is somewhere manual for that, I tryed to use it but I do not know how to do things ^^ [17:21] karlo94: manual for what? [17:22] Dr_Willis, rtorrent [17:22] Roasted_: does "df" show your samba share? [17:22] am I being ignored or waht? [17:22] karlo94: start with its homepage and manpage. [17:22] sipior, no, just root, dev, dev/shm, /var/run, /var/lock/, and /lib/init/rw [17:23] Lint: i never even noticed you ask an actual question.. [17:23] Roasted_: and "gvfs-mount -l"?

[17:23] karlo94: err.. rtorrent is a cli app.. :) [17:23] karlo94: also it has a web interface option i think. [17:24] Lint: to switch to what? [17:24] Roasted_: no other entries? [17:24] Does anyone have a page or anything on how to make Ubuntu as secure as possible? Maybe a list of all tools and ways, and so on. I'm thinking encryption, ssh, tor, gpg, and everything.. [17:24] Dr_Willis, I have installed shell rtorrent o.O [17:24] sipior, nada [17:24] ikonia, you seeing this? [17:24] Dr_Willis, omg to switch within group of course [17:24] karlo94: screen is often used with rtorrent :) or so i recall from the rtorrent homepate/docs/guides [17:25] hi everyone. I'm having a problem... [17:25] Lint: group? what group? i dont think we understand what you are trying to do... [17:25] Roasted_: I'm not interested [17:25] ikonia, just wanted to make you aware that it clearly has nothing to do with bashrc after all. [17:25] ikonia, you know, in case anyone else asks. ;) [17:25] Roasted_: not interested [17:25] will ulimit -m 1048576 limit memory use to 1gb? [17:25] Dr_Willis, layout group?? [17:25] ikonia, just trying to be pro active in case anybody else has the same issue. [17:25] ikonia, that's all :) [17:25] I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ti card, and I have downloaded the driver from NVIDIA for it [17:25] Lint: you are refering to compiz features? [17:25] Roasted_: look, no need to stir up trouble here. [17:25] I tried installing it, but it seems to dislike my kernel [17:26] sipior, not stirring anything up. [17:26] and the install failed [17:26] sipior, just trying to help out here for the sake of other users. [17:26] uh huh. [17:26] sipior, any idea what could have happened? [17:26] ljl it says wine doesnt work for amd64 and i got intel [17:26] In virtual box, can I just use a normal installation instead of a disk image? [17:26] sipior, I just find it odd it changed something at the domain level. [17:26] i refer to keyboard layoput switching within group!! it's on capslock by default! i want to it be alt-shift as in NORMAL OS [17:27] must be Monday. [17:27] luckybunny: why don't you use the properitary drivers? [17:27] Roasted_: not sure what you mean by "at the domain level". the shell sets its prompt from an environmental variable. can you try starting a shell with "bash -l"? [17:27] ruan: that's what I got [17:27] Ratzinger: not in Australia and so on. [17:28] I got it straight from NVIDIA [17:28] luckybunny: what about the ones in System > Administration > Additional drivers? [17:28] ruan: nothing there at all [17:28] luckybunny: hmm ok [17:29] sipior, if I do that, it lists my_name@computername:~$ [17:29] sipior, but if I hit exit, it bounces back to $ [17:29] Roasted_: that's promising.

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:38] I fixed that today :D [17:38] cool!

[17:39] will try again [17:39] the reboot is what made it go away [17:39] im having problems with the web pages refresh rate for my linux pc. i would think that it should load pages as fast as the windows laptops that my friends have. (i use google chrome because mozilla is very slow) [17:39] KnitGal: looks like UFW [17:39] Does anyone have a good list for host file? [17:40] VonGuard: maybe unreboot? [17:40] ubuntu__: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [17:40] huh [17:40] !ufw [17:40] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [17:40] what is UFW? [17:40] VonGuard: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces [17:40] KnitGal: ufw is the "uncomplicated firewalL". It looks like firewall logs to me. [17:40] oh . . [17:40] KnitGal, time since system startup [17:40] so how do i stop this? [17:40] sipior, want me to just pastebin these? I'm not entirely sure what I'm after here. [17:40] is there any way to read code inside exe files [17:40] terry: my interfaces are fine [17:41] Anyway, would a kind person like to help me with my upgrading problem? [17:41] Roasted_: if you haven't modified those, let's assume they're the same as on my system. [17:41] terry: it's just the menu that is gone. i cannot sign onto a wireless network without that ddrop down menu [17:41] gaurav_help: we don't have exe files in Linux [17:41] gaurav_help: it depends [17:41] hey wow! [17:41] rebooting worked willitfloat [17:41] thanks everyone! [17:41] Roasted_: so that PS1 should be set in /etc/bash.bashrc, and invoked in an interactive shell that is not a login shell. [17:41] had no idea ubuntu behavede like a mac [17:41] VonGuard: cheers :) [17:41] sipior, I personally havent modified it, but Im not sure if anything did in the background. [17:41] ruan, can u help me [17:41] Roasted_: when you issued that gvfs-volume command, where did that filesystem get mounted? [17:41] gaurav_help: exes usually contain compiled code though [17:42] how can I create an icon access to a command opened with mono? Im talking about mono OpenBve.exe [17:42] gaurav_help, x86dis? [17:42] sipior, it was to a network resource. I saw a link on the desktop (and nautilus) with a link to smb://fileserver/users [17:42] nictrasavios: If you look in the software sources preferences in software centre, is it set to update to regular or LTS release only? [17:42] sipior, but the full command was like [17:42] sipior, gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() [17:42] arand: Ill check, give me a second :) [17:42] Roasted_: one quick way to solve the problem should be to make gnome-terminal start every shell as a login shell. [17:42] Lint, what is this is [17:43] VonGuard: I don't know why wicd didn't work for you. I've installed it on my 10.04 system and it works great. Very simple and straight forward. You may have an IP conflict on your network. You should look to see if there is a conflict. [17:43] sipior, as I was trying to set a wildcard for it to detect my user and auto link me. I was testing this to get domain users to auto link to their folder share automatically. [17:43] gaurav_help, disassembler [17:43] through this i read [17:43] terry: he left.. [17:43] lol [17:43] okay, i used ctrl-c to stop it. but it starts up again [17:44] what should i do to get this firewall process stopped? [17:44] arand: that may have done it ! :) so i just run the dist-upgrade command [17:44] am i correct? === Tata is now known as silverleaf [17:44] Is it possible to change weather server in ubuntu? [17:44] is there any decompiler to view the exe fies [17:45] nictrasavios: Just start update manager, and update it. [17:45] my city isnt listed in map locations [17:45] .. [17:45] gaurav_help, ndisasm, mingw32 objdump -d [17:45] arand: Is there a way to do it from the terminal. I find the GUI very cumbersome. [17:45] weather_dude: very small city? [17:45] hey guys, having some problems getting my sound working again. it used to work. I've tried one of the ubuntu sound debugging guuides to no avail. What is my next step? It's recognized, I believe the driver is in the kernel, and the sound preferences in gnome say "internal audio, 1 output" under hardware, then "dummy output" under output. What do??? [17:46] arand: Nevermind, i wont be picky haha, im getting help. I should be grateful a nice man like yourself is helping me at all. [17:46] I need to know how my default X keymap is set. Also I need keyboard editor. can someone help? [17:46] ninjah`, did you open a terminal alsamixer to be sure nothing is turned down or muted ? [17:46] nictrasavios: There is a do-release-upgrade/update iirc [17:46] sipior, any thoughts? [17:46] karla, i can use this in linux is this decomlpe the exe files [17:46] From where Ubuntu gets weather info and how can I change the server? [17:46] nictrasavios: :) [17:46] i think gdm is crashing on me, because when i try to login, the screen goes black and it just resets back to gdm. when i switch to a different tty with Ctrl+Alt+# and run startx, it all works just fine. How do i figure out why gdm is crashing? [17:47] gaurav_help, more like disassemble [17:47] arand: Hmm, my system cannot get an exclusive lock even tho im not running anything else, i will try a reboot and then try again. [17:47] is there a better channel to ask this question in? ... im having problems with the web pages refresh rate for my linux pc. i would think that it should load pages as fast as the windows laptops that my friends have. i use google chrome because mozilla is very slow [17:47] Roasted_: it's difficult to say without being able to inspect the machine directly. it would be interesting to see if other logins experienced the same problem. [17:47] nictrasavios: close all things related to package management first [17:47] gaurav_help, there's also a piece of software that operates on a slightly higher level, i forgot the name but its icon is like a small face from an old painting.... [17:47] sipior, well the other login account I used didn't exhibit the problem, but Ia lso didn't run that darn command on it either. [17:48] gaurav_help, if that helps... [17:48] Roasted_: do you have any entries in $HOME/.gvfs? [17:48] hi, I'm trying to debug a Web page that uses Flash, but apparently Firebug doesn't watch Flash's network activity. (I don't have access to the ActionScript, but I know it works.) [17:48] sipior, .gvfs is empty. [17:48] is there any tool that can watch all (HTTP) network activity and show me the messages for all traffic? [17:49] Roasted_: using ls -a? [17:49] galamar: well, first of all, if your computer is a relic then it will be slow.. [17:49] Jesdisciple: wireshark? [17:49] sipior, no, nautilus with hidden folders shown. sec Ill go into term and hceck [17:49] Back :) [17:49] karla, thanks for this [17:49] blag: earching [17:49] s^ [17:49] sipior, just . and .. [17:49] Well this is a fresh install, nothing to backup so here goes nothing. [17:49] Roasted_: also, does this behaviour survive a reboot? [17:49] Every day, my clock object in the panel dies at 9:45 AM. I click the button to reload and it appears. Anybody ever seen anything like that? Using the default 10.10 desktop, nvidia 8600GT with nvidia binary drivers. [17:50] sipior, yup. reboot, log out, different ubuntu machines on the domain, etc. [17:50] sipior, its STUCK to my account, from what I can see. [17:50] Jesdisciple, i had quiet good experience with http fox lately when mirroring a flash-heavy page [17:50] what is a turn-server??? [17:50] I'm positively being ignored here, is thereother help channel which gives you answers and not treat you like 2nd rate junk becauise you're not in us domain? [17:50] willitfloat, its not that old. and not when compared to the laptops that refresh fine. [17:50] Roasted_: you're authenticating against a windows domain? [17:50] Preparing >.< ohh.... Im shaky. Upgrades are always tense. [17:51] sipior, yes [17:51] Jesdisciple, it required a lot of hand work. if its too many urls that are getting GETed, use ngrep to sniff it directly and grep out the urls [17:51] Lint: whats up? [17:51] Roasted_: i'm not terribly familiar with the breed, but have you checked to see what has changed in that entry? [17:51] Jesdisciple, or setup a proxy directly [17:51] i didn't have to ssh .. chicken of the vnc found the remote desktop automatic [17:51] Setting new software channels .... O. [17:51] O.O* [17:51] does virtual box uses usb port and com ports as normal ? [17:51] nibbler_: nah it's just one URL, and I see network activity on system monitor [17:52] deca: you have to configure it to read from them, but yes. [17:52] sipior, what entry are you referring to? [17:52] but I'm having trouble verifying that it's getting to the server [17:52] and in what form [17:52] nibbler_: ^ [17:52] Where would i be able to find the location of the logrotate configuration file? [17:52] Roasted_: the directory entry corresponding to your login. [17:52] this is a kind of finger-pointing answer opportunity I guess (vbox/ubuntu/vista) but I am running ubuntu as a guest in vbox under vista, and have my vista My Documents directory as shared and mounted. The cli in ubuntu shows and can access all of it, but Places only shows a few subdirectories [17:52] nictasavios :tx [17:52] How I can configure libgweather? [17:52] I need to know how to change my default keyboard options. the defaults are awful, I don't know anything about this and tired of running setxkbmap manually EACH login [17:52] willitfloat, i dont have any other problems with it like download speeds or programs running slow everything seems to be fine except the refresh rate most web pages? [17:52] sipior, I'm not sure I follow. are you referring to the network resource I tried to link to when this all happened? [17:53] i am installing vista on virtual box right now [17:53] Roasted_: i'm referring to the account information which is currently stored in the windows domain controller. [17:53] Getting New Packages O.O..... Oh 30 minutes... oh great haha im gonna be freaking out for 30 minutes strait. [17:53] straight* [17:53] fumanchu182: man logrotate, it tells you where the configuration file is. Look near the bottom of the manual page. === Guest20200 is now known as Gruenmuth [17:54] Roasted_: it should know something about the location of your home directory, for example. [17:54] cannonball, i was just in there didn't notice anything, will look again [17:54] Oh nevermind... 51 minutes.... Wait wait... Hour and 20... Wait WAIT 33..... Lmao? Back where i started. [17:54] galamar: might be something with the proprietary videodrivers, if that's what you use? however, i know nothing about them, so i cant help further. === Gruenmuth is now known as Guest52018 [17:54] cannonball, got it [17:54] sipior, within AD? [17:54] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man8/logrotate.8.html#contenttoc5 in case anyone wants [17:54] I should shut up. Your all going to kill me soon haha! [17:55] How I can configure libgweather? [17:55] btw man pages online = win ty for whoever set this up [17:55] fumanchu182: that file includes everything in /etc/logrotate.d/, so what you're looking for may be in there instead. [17:55] Roasted_: yep. [17:55] hi [17:55] sipior, let me check [17:55] hi all [17:55] would Places have a reason to only be able to or only want to show part of a directory differently than ls does? [17:55] i have an intel hdmi audio system on my laptop and when i plug in headphones the laptop speakers don't mute [17:55] how do i fix this [17:56] a mounted directory [17:56] Okay, to calm my nerves im going to help people haha. [17:56] lwizardl: that is a hardware issue. [17:56] lwizardl: i had a problem like that on windows vista. I dont know what it is though. [17:57] lwizardl: It was, infact, the reason i came to ubuntu. [17:57] terry, yeah I know someone in here helped before with this issue [17:57] Jesdisciple, thing is, you enter an url, and this flash crap opens another 15. and you want to know which. its loading xmldata, flashanimations and all kinds of stuffs [17:58] lwizardl: Gah. Mine just went away. I wish i could be of more service. If it is a hardware issue... Well $1000 and a baseball bat will fix that [17:58] lwizardl: Well, I THOUGHT is was a hardware issue. Maybe I'm wrong. [17:58] lwizardl: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=900898 will help? [17:58] sipior, well I just looked through it. everything looks spot-on normal. [17:59] nibbler_: HttpFox shows nothing, and I just noticed that although system monitor does show network activity, it's only outgoing...? [17:59] Jesdisciple, tcpdump, ngrep, wireshark [18:00] Oh, dose anyone know how to connect to a passworldless wlan0 network via terminal? [18:00] any OPENBVE user here? [18:00] lwizardl: Google found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806620 [18:00] Its the one thing i can't do in the terminal, and probably the only thing i have to do via GUI. === Guest80595 is now known as DarkDevil [18:01] Roasted_: hmm. bit of a head-scratcher. unfortunately, i need to be on my way. i would say the thing to do is to create a series of test accounts, and check their login environments with "printenv", both before and after running a gvfs-mount. [18:01] Evening, gods of the operating system. When i choose the "boot to first HD" option on my liveusb of ubuntu 10.10, it fails to boot and i get to initramfs. Can i check the integrity of the disk from there? [18:01] sipior, appreciate it bro [18:01] hello? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest80317 [18:01] nictrasavios: Look at the wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant programs. You can also add the wlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces and use ifup+ifdown instead. [18:02] dajhorn, what did that command do :( [18:02] kman: For somereason that option dosent work on any boot disk i have tried. If your looking to check your system... i would try a forensics boot CD like Backtrack 4, Gnacktrack, Helix ... etc. [18:02] nictrasavios: try: man iwconfig === akadrus is now known as Akadrus [18:02] Roasted_: What did what command do? I haven't been watching your thread. [18:02] mineur, I'm back :p [18:02] dajhorn, the gvfs-mount command. [18:02] the only hints I have are that the folder icon for the shared folder in Places has a lock on it, when I right-click and select properties it counts 1300 items and 1.2 gig, which is probably right, but when I double click on it, it shows only a few subdirectories (all My something) which is a small subset [18:03] Hello everyone :P [18:03] callaghan: ive tried using iwconfig , iwlist , and the host of that method, and it seen my network but was unable to get the connection. [18:03] dajhorn, it perma-changed my prompt to $. Even on other ubuntu computers when I log in my term prompt is $. [18:03] dajhorn: alright i will :) [18:03] hey all, so i did a dist-upgrade and quickly found out the new version of PHP that came with it borked my joomla server. how do i install an older version of php in the command line and lock it in place? [18:03] after my distro-upgrade... id rather not mess with anything. [18:03] Roasted_: Go back to your thread with ikonia. I don't have any other advice. Maybe you trashed your .profile or your .bashrc files where the PS1 variable is set. [18:04] nictrasavios: I was able to connect to my wifi with iwconfig, but I'm no expert with the command, however this helped me a lot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258857 [18:04] Roasted_: And if you eventually got likewise working, then your domain users could be getting the profile (with the PS1) from the domain server. [18:04] dajhorn, ikonia was thinking it was local on the machine. But the key is, I logged into an entirely different Ubuntu computer on the domain, and it was like that. That's where I'm kind of confused. [18:04] Hey, I'm the guy who just asked about fixing the grub killed by windows, the page didn't help [18:04] dajhorn, oh yes, likewise is working. [18:05] * Lint wants to know wherethe hell keyboard options are set... [18:05] callaghan: it seems my probelm is when entering my key, since well... i have none and it wont take it blank. [18:05] Evening all [18:05] nictrasavios, which one if them is the easiest to use and can be booted from usb? [18:06] Lint: what are you looking for? === ubuntu__ is now known as girl [18:06] nictrasavios: maybe this? http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm#Connecting%20to%20WLAN%20%28DHCP%29 === girl is now known as asnake [18:06] Lint: System > Preferences > Keyboard -> Layout tab -> Options button === asnake is now known as boogyMan [18:07] arg! [18:07] Dude! [18:07] Guys, I have a question: does Intel support Ubuntu? I heard the myth that it isn't. I really have a slow Ubuntu perfomance comparing to Windows. Help? [18:07] citrus2: You need to do a package pin in /etc/apt/preferences and re-add the old repos to the sources.list file. Maybe ubottu knows... [18:07] !pinning > citrus2 [18:07] citrus2, please see my private message [18:07] grub help anyone? [18:07] kman: easy to use? Oh there your in for it. The 3 i just said are hacker distros. But their "intended purpose" is for make sure yours system is locked down. So they have great tools for it. [18:07] How do you think, if I would use gnome, whould i have such soert of idiotic problem?? [18:07] Roasted_: I didn't think it was local to the machine, more so as your directory is network mounted at a domain level, [18:07] boogyMan: what do you need help with? === manca_ is now known as nafisa [18:08] fatal_ERROR777: You mean and intel processor? [18:08] some how my keyboard is setup in a strange way on my login. i need to know what to change to fix it. [18:08] kman: the majority of the tools are CLI.. So easy to use ... no. Try looking around www.dedoimedo.com , he has some great security articles and links to the security distros, probably one you need is there. [18:08] someone linked me to a good resouce page for recovering grub, but it didn't fir my problem [18:08] <[TK]D-Fender> fatal_ERROR777: That is an extremely unqualified statement. [18:08] nictrasavios, great! thanks for your help! [18:08] nictrasavios: iwconfig [interface] key open (sets open mode, no authentication is used and card may accept non-encrypted sessions) (from the same website; hope this helps :) ) [18:08] ikonia, yar. I'm just not sure what's sticking it. AD has nothing that stands out as being weird, and nothing is in my share on the server either. [18:08] <[TK]D-Fender> fatal_ERROR777: No mention of which versiono f either OS, what hardware, and what your basis of comparison is. [18:09] terry: yeah, I'm kinda confused [18:09] fatal_ERROR777: What exactly is slow? [18:09] callaghan: ill try it after the distro upgrade, im pretty sure that needs stable internet :D [18:09] if im having problems with proprietary video drivers how would i find out and fix it if thats what is cause slow refresh for web pages? [18:09] jono, bacon? [18:09] fatal_ERROR777: Are you comparing boot-up time? [18:09] hytreem_, yep [18:09] terry: the booting up [18:10] kman: No problem :D [18:10] jono, could we PM for 3 minutes please? [18:10] hytreem_, sure [18:10] fatal_ERROR777: Oh yea, Ubuntu will take longer to boot. That is normal. [18:10] cool [18:10] jono: Can i join? Im nosey. JK. Lmao. [18:10] does ubuntu updates patch latest linux exploits? [18:10] lotuspsychje: Yes. [18:10] lotuspsychje: it patches problems with the versions you are using [18:10] Padster: need help reinstalling it after win7 killed it [18:10] tnx guys [18:10] hola [18:10] lotuspsychje: I can assure you they were patched before you could say the world "Linux" [18:11] word* [18:11] lol [18:11] boogyMan: oh, so it just boots into windows? [18:11] nice1 [18:11] ok... I have no x server [18:11] Padster: yup === A-06 is now known as Guest30503 [18:11] boogyMan: I just helped someone with that 5 minutes ago lmao... [18:11] because ive read one day maverick had a kernel exploit [18:11] Guest30503: What happened? [18:11] boogyman: One second haha [18:11] Guest30503: Is this a fresh install? [18:12] boogyMan: well, maybe download system rescue cd and do something.. [18:12] terry: after reading Linux haters, I really want to change OS. But after seeng my friend's blue screen of doom, I think other wise ;) [18:12] boogyMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [18:12] nictrasavios: that was me [18:12] terry: no [18:12] boogyMan: i know there are live discs to restore the master boot record. but idk what to do exactly atm [18:12] boogyMan: Reinstalling grub should have fixed it? [18:12] I was trying to install NVIDIA drivers [18:12] anyways .. why did they get rid of the command aptituide ? [18:12] and it created its own xorg.conf [18:12] joeb_: it's still available isn't it ? [18:12] now there is no x server at all [18:13] gtg [18:13] fatal_ERROR777: Linux has a lot of advantages. It is a very powerful OS. You'll just have to try it and see. But you'll like it for sure. [18:13] nictrasavios: tried, but windows wrote over everything and there is no "right" place to install it with a kernel [18:13] and I'm lucky I had irssi, because Xchat and Kvirc both need the GUI === ubuntu__ is now known as Nillerz [18:13] nictrasavios: it's screwing with my head [18:13] joeb_: Aptitude is still available. `apt-get install aptitude` [18:13] When i choose the "boot to first HD" option on my liveusb of ubuntu 10.10, it fails to boot and i get to initramfs. Can i check the integrity of the disk from there? Are there any commands like fsck or e2fsck there? [18:14] I have no idea how to get my X server back and actually see Ubuntu [18:14] kman: from there being the livecd, or the initramfs? [18:14] Guest30503: What happened? [18:14] hi everyone [18:14] ^^ [18:14] How can i keep my mouse sensitivity when using twinview with eg. a t [18:14] How can i keep my mouse sensitivity when using twinview with eg. a tv [18:14] boogyMan: im gonna give you a download link, burn this iso to a disk and boot from it, then detect the grub installation (even if mbr is over written) and it should lead from there. === ubuntu__ is now known as Nillerz [18:14] chicken of the vnc is killing my connection [18:14] psusi, from there being the initramfs ^^ [18:14] dajhorn- but is it needed ? [18:14] Guest30503: You can remove the xorg.conf file [18:15] joeb_: No, aptitude is not essential. [18:15] how? [18:15] boogyMan, http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso [18:15] terry: in my opinion, all OS's aren't the best. Each one is designed for different purposes. I prefer Linux, because I can fix bugs by myself. In Windows, you have to wait a year to have a bugfix... [18:15] nictrasavios: ok, meanwhile, I'll go over the thingy again [18:15] Guest30503: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:15] fatal_ERROR777, ugh if it were only just windows [18:15] terry: Guest30503 I would move it instead [18:15] boogyMan: the link i sent you before may be outsated [18:15] !ot | karla [18:15] karla, please see my private message [18:15] dated* [18:16] boogyMan, heres an office ubuntu article on it [18:16] Guest30503: Don't delete just rename using the mv command [18:16] boogyMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [18:16] arand: Why? [18:16] nictrasavios: thanks [18:16] psusi, any ideas? [18:16] nictrasavios: I think I see something I did wrong [18:17] boogyMan: No problem, and that disk you burn, keep it always. Trust me, its saved me time and time again. [18:17] kman: not from the initramfs I don't think, but if you boot the livecd, yes [18:17] terry: done... now what? [18:17] karla, if it were windows then you wouldn't get an error that is easily googleable, you'd get 7 random error messages, one after the other, and the annoying "DUN!" sound each time you click "ok" [18:17] let me throw this out there .. if i want to compile something from source do i have to do a apt-get build-dep or is there another command ? [18:17] Guest30503: sudo pkill gdm [18:17] Hm, i suppose i'd need to compile support for uvesafb in my kernel, as opposed to building it against running kernel? [18:17] joeb_: what do you want to build ? [18:18] Question - I am running Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this? [18:18] karla, Yea hes right.... haha. Trust me, errors in windows are horrible to try and fix. [18:18] Vesafb just doesn't do it for me ;/ get awfully slow fbdev === Guest30503 is now known as A-06 [18:18] nictrasavios, Nillerz - I agree but don't get your engines all fired up boys, I was referring to NetBSD actually... [18:18] I use Windows sometimes just for video games, and even though I never use a web browser, the os seems to corrupt and break itself down over time. [18:19] ikonia- i installed ffmpeg from apt-get install but i built it last time so i want t build it again [18:19] ? [18:19] ah, must have missed whatever you were talking about, just joined the channel [18:19] A-06: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [18:19] karla, :P alrighty haha. long as you got a *nix like framework im happy. [18:19] joeb_: why do you want to build it ? building things when you don't know what you are doing can have serious implications to your systems stability ? [18:19] :) [18:19] joeb_: is there a problem with the package from the repo ? === lkjaelkja is now known as SmdK [18:19] karla, so youve used BSD? I used to run freeBSD. [18:19] ikonia- no [18:20] ikonia- i need experience [18:20] that's valid, go for it [18:20] brb as luckybunny [18:20] k [18:20] nictrasavios, is backtrack preferable to gnacktrack? [18:20] and then I'll need that link again [18:20] lol [18:20] nictrasavios, yep I ran most of them, I stuck with netbsd eventually, #ubuntu-offtopic btw :) [18:20] it has worked [18:20] kman: both are offtopic here [18:20] anybody [18:20] ikonia, your right. Sorry. [18:20] no problem [18:21] terry: Mac OS X is good, but it's a bit annoying in interface, and like any other OS, it can be laggy. I remember the times, when I wasted 5 min. of time just to have it logged in(but it was a comuter lab in school). Also, I can have no worser programs for free, and paying so much money gets useless... [18:21] kman: Gnacktrack is the gnome version on gnacktrack, the dev did a horrible job on it, but it seems to work just as good. Just you wont get the street cred or the consistancy of the army behind backtrack. [18:21] joeb_: First off, you need to install build-essential [18:21] fatal_ERROR777: can we try to get back to the topic of ubuntu support [18:21] nictrasavios: it's offtopic [18:21] olit: anybody??? [18:21] Mac OS X is great for catholics. [18:21] lol [18:21] As long as you listen to Apple and do what Apple says, you're computer will work fine [18:21] O.o [18:21] ikonia: no problem. [18:21] thanks [18:22] i am getting disconnected from internet and ttyACM0 changes to ttyACM1 and vice versa.. [18:22] thanks terry [18:22] I am now seeing GUI [18:22] but I'll need that link again [18:22] lol [18:22] have i come to official channel or what?? [18:22] kman: If you want gnome with backtrack tho, nodezero is better the gnacktrack, i forgot about it haha.

I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this? [18:24] ikonia: hmm? Oh sorry. I get focused and off topic, my applogies. He was lookin to test his ubuntu, i was givin him tools to do so. But that is offtopic. I am sorry. [18:24] how do i find a list of apps installed ? [18:24] nictrasavios: not a problem, appreicated [18:24] I know, but whenever anyone uses ubottu un-necessarily I tell them what ubottu is for, it's to prevent ubottu from clogging the channel with useless information, phrased in such a way as to make linux sound like a call-center. [18:24] joeb_: the pacakge manager tools can show whats installed. [18:24] joeb_: dpkg -l shows the application packages installed [18:24] Dr_Willis- doing it from cli [18:24] joeb_: or you can just open the package manager which has a nicer interface === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [18:24] joeb_: use the proper apt-* commands then i guess. [18:25] some how my keyboard is setup in a strange way on my login. i need to know what to change to fix it. [18:25] Roasted_: Maybe pick a different directory name? [18:25] again, thanks terry [18:25] Does anyone want to trade their (valid) windows xp cd key for my unused win7 key? [18:25] I rarely use the more advanced features of apt. :) [18:25] Stava: we don't discuss that [18:25] Stava, nope. [18:25] terry, tried that. [18:25] Stava: please keep to ubuntu support only [18:25] Stava, wrong channel for that. [18:25] why would you come to an Ubuntu channel for htat? [18:25] cmon boys i cant go on changing ttyACM everytime [18:26] At the very least, anyone interested in your offer would probably just illegally generate the key themselves. [18:26] Nillerz: just ignore it [18:26] Lint: I'd suggest: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and answer all the questions appropriately [18:26] well there is no trade-software-channel [18:26] i have been using the open source ati driver on my onboard ati hd 4250 for a couple of months now but just recently i started having issues where the second monitor is "wavy".. how can i troubleshoot this?

[18:26] !troll | ikonia [18:26] lol [18:26] terry, pretty much what my main post said. I ran a command which goofed up my terminal prompt. Now it does it globally across all ubuntu systems under my name. [18:27] Roasted_, had you grep for PS1 in your home dir? [18:27] whoever can help me respond before that agian disconnects [18:27] Lint, I looked into PS1 a few times with the help of another user, but nothing ever came about it. Do you know much about it?

[18:28] omg, my youtube vids are PINK! after figuring out a while, I came with a solution: Delete a PREF cookie. But the browser, which I'm running (Chromium) doesn't support (I think so) this option. Help? === Heavylob1ter is now known as Heavylobster [18:28] @ikonia its a usb modem [18:29] Dr_Willis, well, that's where I get a little lost, as I'm not entirely sure what I did with the command I issued.

[18:29] fatal_ERROR777: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/fix-pinkred-youtube-videos-bug-using.html [18:29] Roasted_: no idea what you did.. most liklely changed a line in .bashrc or .profile you could always put a differnt export PS1=' ' at the end of one of those files. [18:29] Roasted_: theres a 'bash prompt howto' thats worth reading. :) if you want to play with p[rompts [18:30] @ikonia its has worked in puppy and sabayon but its not working in ubuntu [18:30] Dr_Willis, could I just copy the bashrc contents from another profile? [18:30] Dr_Willis: See my pm [18:30] ayush: ok, that suggests there is some form of Linux support at least [18:30] @olit thanx [18:30] what for?? [18:30] Roasted_: theres a few PS lines in the default ones.. i think one sets a root user priompt in some cases, or a color one in other cases.. you could always diff your .profile with the oritinal .profile and see whats differnt [18:30] @ikonia lsusb reads it [18:31] Roasted_: or go explore the promots out there and find one you like and use it. [18:31] what did i do ,.... i m very much messed pp here [18:31] ayush, do you have relevant firmware installed? [18:31] @ikonia gnome -ppp fails [18:31] ayush, lsusb reads anything [18:31] @olit yes [18:31] ayush: gnome failing to use it and hardware support are two different things [18:31] Roasted_: What caused you to issue that particular command in the first place? What exactly were you trying to do? Followning some sort of instructions or what? [18:32] ayush: just because gnome doesn't configure it, don't think it's not supported [18:32] @lint how do i know [18:32] terry, yes, I was trying to auto-generate a link on the desktop so users who log in get a link tot heir server folder. the command was suggested to me, I ran it, and here we are. [18:32] Dr_Willis, I don't really need any special prompt. I'm just trying to reverse what I did. [18:32] ayush, look in system log aroung the lines where device is detected [18:32] drc: thanks ! :) [18:33] @lint how do i do that [18:33] dmesg ayush [18:33] fatal_ERROR777: Did it fix your problem? [18:34] drc: oh yes, it was the hardware acceleration. Now, I'm happy [18:34] Roasted_: no idea what you did. default prompt here seems to be 'export PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' [18:35] i seems to be having some permission issues. does anyone know how to reset/repair all permissions, say maybe in safe mode? [18:35] how would i enable compiz on ubuntu and what are the benefits of compiz over metacity and gnome shell over gnome panel? [18:35] Dr_Willis, is that in the .bashrc file in the home dir? [18:35] Roasted_: check the /etc/skel/.* files [18:35] antonius: what issues are you having? [18:35] Roasted_: its in .profile here. [18:35] Hey guys [18:35] drc: before I discovered IRC, I had to watch my videos on my smartphone... Thank you so much! [18:35] antonius, root user doesn't affecred by permisions, use it [18:36] don't login as root.. [18:36] Hedgehog456: compiz over metacity, not much looks nicer some keybinding window management stuff is nice but if you're using a old system its not worth the performance trade off.

I use an USB stick as a sort of wireless broadband, in India. And the speed and connection had been very nice, but since the last week, after a recent update, my ubuntu laptop doesn't work well with it. [18:36] @lint @olit the log says "http://paste.ubuntu.com/577107/" [18:36] so what advantages does gnome shell have over panel? [18:37] ok. thanx for information [18:37] Dr_Willis, my .profile is identical on the problematic machine as well as another ubuntu computer that isnt on the domain (and therefore exhibiting no issues) [18:37] ikonia- or anyone .. i did a sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg .. for some reason it didn't install ffmpeg .. does build just build all the gcc / compile software or what ? [18:37] ruan: my sudo password no longer works...and i'm still able to install from software center, and sudo works sometimes with gksu [18:37] Roasted_: Where did you get the instructions? [18:37] terry, from a user in here. [18:37] The stick gets overheated and gets disconnected often, while the speed is very less, around 5 KBPS or so. The same device works well with my other computer (running fedora). :( Any help? [18:37] ruan: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1001, should be 0 [18:37] joeb_: build-dep installs the build dependencies for a package, i.e, what is required to compile it. It doesn't do anything else. [18:37] Roasted_: Don't remember his nic by any chance do you? [18:38] ^output [18:38] terry, I do, but I already talked to him, he has no idea what happened. [18:38] joeb_, it just installs dependencies for ffmpeg [18:38] hence my insane frustration of having tried to figure this out here for the last 2 hours [18:38] ok ok [18:38] aw [18:38] Roasted_: rename your .profile and .bashrc to some backup file.. log out/back in.. see if it still happens.. :) then start dissecting the files..

[18:39] ayush: Tata Photon plus, wireless broadband. :( [18:39] what if i want to remove sudo apt-get remove build-dep ffmpeg ? [18:39] Okay im very tense haha. [18:39] Hey channel. I installed UNR via Wubiu, and after installing the restricted ATI driver, I have no graphical environment. At boot, it has be at a tty1 login. Help?

[18:40] @olit no but the other is just my backup connection [18:40] Now its gonna install the upgrades [18:40] ayush is it broadband??

Just some networkmanager stuff. [18:51] antonius: Have you modified /etc/sudoers recently? [18:51] terry: well, figured i had no use for it..wanted to use the same username..didn't want to clutter gdm screen even more [18:52] does anyone knows how to track permission issues? for example when i use virtualbox with sudo i get usb support and while i try normally it doesn't have usb support [18:52] havent touched sudoers file [18:52] well then maybe in tjhe log of your display driver? [18:52] I was trying to fix my multitouch support so I installed the utouch packages (idk if this is related, this is just what I was doing before the issue) After installing the packages the problem was not fixed so I restarted. Upon restart Ubuntu did not load into a GUI it was just command lines, so I entered the shutdown command and rebooted, now after it loads it just goes to a black screen. No command line, but [18:52] my wifi light is on, so the hardware is registering. However, safe mode works with my normal graphic settings. (I am currently using Ubuntu 10.10) [18:52] check /var/log for interesting logging :) [18:52] IS there any Decompiler to decompile exe files [18:53] antonius: pastebinit /etc/goup [18:53] antonius: /etc/group [18:53] gaurav_help, there are plenty.. although most of them disassemble into assembly language [18:53] when I run the command "/bin/date $(cat command.txt)" and command.txt contains "; /bin/ls" then why aren't both programs executed? [18:53] mineur: By the way (I meant to mention this), my graphical interface was corrupted somehow after installing the ATI driver, so I "fixed" that by following a suggestion to remove my xorg file. After I rebooted, the GUI was back. That's when this problem started [18:53] gaurav_help: technicatlly such a thing is not possible, but there have been attempts to approximate it over the years [18:53] (Or assembler.. I'm never sure what it's called) [18:53] gaurav_help, you can try objdump [18:53] Since 10.10 my middle mouse click does no longer work (ID=04d9:2083). Any idea on how to debug this issue? Middle click of the additional touchpad does work allright, so it seems to be some kind of driver problem. [18:54] martijn_dekker, assembly :) [18:54] Thanks [18:54] did you backup your xorg file? [18:54] Nope...silly me. :P [18:54] I wasn't worried about it, because this is a fresh Wubi install [18:54] martijn_dekker, assembler take assembly code and compiles it into machine language [18:54] http://pastebin.com/Dn0Gdqqd [18:55] That's why I was confused, most likely :P [18:55] antonius: pastebinit /etc/sudoers === heyguise is now known as drunkguise [18:55] Is anyone able to help me?

[19:09] MichaelDobrovits, but what are they?

[19:09] Yerushalmi: you could backup the .mozilla directory I think [19:09] nictrasavios: most times you should replace the file, as some apps rely on an updated configuration to work. [19:09] ramon_Gimp: theres dozens of torrent clients - transmission is installed by default [19:09] Yerushalmi, thanks to the tip from blag.. you should look for some .xyz file in your ~ directory [19:09] Yerushalmi: You might want to try xmarks?

I'll make use of both that and FEBE to make doubly sure :) [19:19] pr0ton: as you are concerned about data loss then make sure you have an acceptable backup which you can easily restore from [19:19] so let me get this straight .. apt-get is for packages / repots whatever .. dpkg is for individual stuff correct ?

[19:21] pr0ton, this is crazy. it shouldn t [19:21] Joeb_: apt-get pulls down files with wget (i believe) then dpkg to install the debs. You can use dpkg yourself to install individual debs manually [19:21] Guest49657: Are there several kernels to choose from? [19:21] if I fresh install, i lose /home [19:21] terry, yes. [19:21] 3.

[19:22] nictrasavios, ok, thanks. so ubuntu+ or ubuntu1 if i recall, doesn't exist anymore, i guess [19:22] pr0ton: the hidden folders in $HOME store settings for apps.

[19:40] marlow59: aptitude is a wrapper around apt-get. So, it's more convenient to use, and more advisable.

[21:21] ubuntu__: sounds like gzip headers would find them === Guest42820 is now known as XuMuK [21:22] I used "psql SHOW VERSION();" and it brought up a window inthe command line with version info. that's great but how do i get out of thee window without closing psql? i know ctrl+z will exit but it also exits psql [21:22] ubuntu__: I would make a gzipped file and then pull the header and footer and use that to search [21:22] histo: so Im looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip#File_format [21:22] Jordan_U: i need to send a list of files to some command [21:22] Jordan_U: so that is only needed if I want to download those apps and install them manually (using the source packages) right? [21:23] ubuntu__: that's how I would approach it [21:23] figure002: What command? What is your end goal? [21:23] Hello [21:23] histo: how can I determine how long the header and how long the footer is? I already started experiments but am unsure [21:23] I need help [21:23] odd, sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove didn't actually stop the service from running the next time.. [21:23] hi all. having problems with an smbfs mount in fstab. if the share name has a space in it, is this the right syntax: //ip.of.server.machine/share\ name [21:23] ubuntu__: well it sounds liek the header and footer change related to the file. So you can only search for those parts of it that don't change. [21:23] How can I turn on shadow passwords? [21:23] Jordan_U: the command is 'wallpaper', it returns a list of files which are suitable as wallpaper. [21:24] ubuntu__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery this has a section about gzip [21:24] histo what remains invariant? The extension .tar.gz and nothing else? [21:24] anyone know how to exit out of a command line edit-thing? ctrl+z will take me out of my psql login so icant use that [21:24] Alphanaut: strange, maybe the sym links are recreated by some service [21:24] gad [21:24] ubuntu__: there is a section about magicrescue [21:24] GeekyAdam: "\040" for space like, "this\040mountpoint\040has\040spaces" [21:24] figure002: What is the *end* goal? Is wallpaper a command you wrote yourself? [21:25] llutz: will try thx [21:25] Guest13290: It should be enablded by default [21:25] ubuntu__: sudo magicrescue -r gzip -d ~/output /dev/sdx# [21:25] thanks histo, Ill have a try [21:25] Cataclysm: exit quit ctrl+d :q! q ? [21:25] Cataclysm: could it be 'less'? try hitting just q or :q. [21:25] I have machine with eth0 (public ipv4) and eth1(private ipv6) addresses, eth0 is connected to the internet, when I do an apt-get, I see it tries to instantiate connection to ipv6 variant of the host and fails, how can I specify which interface to use, when doing apt-get? [21:25] Jordan_U: nope, it's in the ubuntu repo; the end goal is to know which files are suitable as wallpapers. [21:26] Because I tried to adduser and it tells me that only root may add a user etc [21:26] ubuntu__: or if you look in the /etc/scapel/scalpel.conf you may find gzip already defined [21:26] q worked [21:26] thanks gentle mans [21:26] llutz: that did it thx much ^_^ === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [21:27] ciao [21:27] histo: its not defined. [21:27] ubuntu__: i'm installing scalpel now to check [21:27] out of curiosity what are the trailing numbers: update-rc.d bluetooth start 25 2 3 4 5 . stop 74 0 1 6 .

[21:29] Guest13290: sudo adduser [21:29] figure002: wallpaper doesn't appear to accept filenames on stdin. [21:29] ubuntu 10.10. always mute after restart ?????? [21:29] useradd or adduser [21:29] Guest13290: man useradd [21:29] how do i fix it ? [21:29] Guest13290: i'd use adduser [21:29] !list [21:30] Guest13290: it will prompt you for information [21:30] Guest13290: sudo adduser === james is now known as Guest46493 [21:30] Jordan_U: it accepts filenames as arguments, that's not the same as stdin? [21:30] http://rt.com/news/us-libya-saudi-weapons/ maybe war soon :( [21:30] how can i fix auto mute on ubuntu 10.10 , anyone please ? [21:30] only one or two names allowed? [21:31] Hello [21:31] Guest13290: for login you use one name . You can specify the persons full name later on [21:32] can somebody privite chat me? [21:32] does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ? [21:32] No sorry :/ [21:32] thank you [21:32] figure002: No, it's not. Arguments are normally specified after the command name, like "wallpaper /path/to/foo.png", and must be specified before the command is even executed. stdin, by default, is input from the keyboard which can be given while the program is running. [21:33] I need help, its for my Linux class... [21:34] Jordan_U: oh i see; thanks for the explanation [21:34] soo anyway is there an easy way to configure services thru a gui? [21:34] or is it all command line [21:34] the command line doesnt seem to be working for me anyways [21:35] figure002: You're welcome. I'm not sure how usefull this script will be though, it doesn't think that the default desktop background for Ubuntu 10.10 is a wallpaper. [21:35] Ok, long question: My laptop has a love-hate relationship with suspend. It always suspends, but sometimes it wakes up, and it doesn't and I have to hard reboot. Are there any logs I could be looking at to find out why it doesn't work sometimes? Any other things I could do? [21:35] Alphanaut, which services? [21:35] cups [21:35] sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove did nothing [21:36] does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ? [21:36] figure002: You still haven't told me your end goal. What is it that you hope to accomplish? [21:37] I am new to Ubuntu and decided to install Ubuntu to my USB drive which completely changed my drive. Is there a way to uninstall Ubuntu and set my USB Drive back to the original state?

[21:38] Yes, my original files are still on the drive? [21:39] Just found out that there is a module for floppy disks and it is loaded... [21:39] e1034946: Most of them are likely overwritten I'm afraid, if you specified that ubuntu should use the whole stick [21:39] Jordan_U: ohh u mean the end end goal. i'm writing a little python script which sets wallpapers for the gnome desktop. i was thinking about an extra feature which only picks images that are close enough to a wallpaper (e.g. ignore pics with portrait ratio). [21:39] please help me sort out Audio / Video problem in Empathy yahoo? [21:40] hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ? [21:40] e1034946: There are tools which may extract bits and pieces of it, e.g. the tesdisk tools, photorec in particular [21:41] Nevermind, I got my floppy disk working.

[21:41] v3ctor, i dont have webcam [21:41] hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ? [21:41] i want to view webcam of my friend [21:43] no reply of my question why is that so :( [21:43] drobole: no, i have nothing related to printing under system startup [21:43] they are all unticked [21:43] No-nick-name, what program do you use?

[21:44] hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ? [21:44] e1034946: Ah right, for the reformatting you can either use gparted and create one big fat32 partition on it, or just use msWin and select the format option in explorer [21:44] does it not support webcam viewing? [21:44] does anyone know how to fix auto-mute after restart (ubuntu 10.10) ? [21:45] Jordan_U: did you copy? [21:45] hi is there a way to have start up applications assigned to one workspace on boot up ? [21:45] figure002: Yes. [21:45] e1034946: You could possibly just delete and resize the fat parition, but if possible I think it is better to move things off and then back again, what kind of size is this usb drive?

I meant to say [21:46] ok [21:48] Anyone know how to create a grub2 boot floppy? My google-fu on this has been weak. I've tried grub-mkrescue, but it outputs a 5MB image, which is too large. [21:48] Alphanaut: strange [21:48] how do i edit environment variables? is there a configuration file somewhere? [21:48] Ok, long question: My laptop has a love-hate relationship with suspend.

[21:49] oem [21:49] arand: he quit [21:49] velociostrich, grub-install [21:49] hmm good idear [21:50] thanks velociostrich [21:50] karla: ohhhhhhh, didn't even think of looking into that (I don't know much about Grub, especially Grub 2). Thanks for the tip [21:50] how can I search a pdf for a word. I'm certain I've seen that. [21:50] velociostrich, yep you'll want to pick which --modules you want otherwise you'll run out of space again [21:50] figure002: You should probably use wallpaper one file at a time, calling the command from python directly. Make sure to pass explicit values for the desired aspect ratio and other values as the defaults of the script probably won't match the needs of many users and should be configurable. [21:51] karla: Will do! [21:52] tripelb: try / or crtl-f [21:52] I want to search http://natural-immunogenics.com/pdf/Argentyn23_brochure.pdf for the word micron [21:52] velociostrich: You can use the pre-made super grub2 disk image, which was made with grub-mkrescue but is small enough to fit on a floppy. Grub 1.99 will be more difficult to get to fit on a floppy but I'll try (the latest Super GRUB2 Disk is based on 1.98). [21:53] Jordan_U: you are right; i was already playing around with the settings to get the right result. [21:53] v3ctor: oh you werent asking me what. OK I do not understand your answer. --- I want to search http://natural-immunogenics.com/pdf/Argentyn23_brochure.pdf for the word micron [21:53] velociostrich: Why are you using a floppy drive in 2011 out of curiosity? [21:53] type /micron [21:54] tripelb: less (pdf file here) | grep (text here to search for) [21:54] tripelb: crtl-f will likely open a search text box [21:54] OK So I have upgraded to 11.4 and I want to install f.lux [21:54] Jordan_U: The hardware is *ancient* and it's all I've got (tight budget) [21:54] I just installed a 2nd video card and all its showing is the ubuntu bootscreen. I've run the cmd to reconfigure my xorg, is there anything else I need to do to make it start showing my desktop? [21:55] However I am getting a 404 when trying apt-get... Can I browse the ppa and fine the deb installer file? [21:55] Jordan_U, the other day i had to boot a 486 with a damaged boot sector.. [21:55] I presume I am getting the 404 since it is looking for natty? [21:55] Or it may have been the bios that's incompatible with the drive, anyway it mounts fine after the boot from the floppy [21:55] and no El Torito [21:56] hello anyone can help me to share an folder on ubuntu red ( 2 ubuntu pc) [21:56] Jordan_U: How can I find out what modules I need/are available for grub? [21:56] I am using pidgin -- how can I get it so a line with my nick in it comes up highlighted in some way !!! [21:56] velociostrich: What are you trying to accomplish? [21:57] velociostrich, look under /usr/lib/grub/ [21:57] v3ctor thanks [21:58] velociostrich: karla was misunderstanding what the --modules option does. It simply adds additional modules to the core.img, it doesn't limit what modules are copied to /boot (all modules are always copied by grub-install). [21:58] Jordan_U: I've got Ubuntu 10.04.2 server running on an older machine that I'm trying to get to boot off of a Compact Flash card that's hooked up with an IDE adapter. The installation went smoothly, but it won't boot, so right now I'm on that machine from a hard drive install [21:58] Jordan_U, ah [21:59] Jordan_U: The CF adapter, btw, makes the hardware think that it's dealing with a hard drive. I can even chroot to it, but for some reason I can't boot off of it [21:59] velociostrich: What happens when you try to boot? Is the Flash Card reader / IDE adaptor listed as a boot device? [21:59] volvering: You can use samba. google it === Panzee is now known as pwnt [22:00] Jordan_U: It is listed as a device in the BIOS; it gets to GRUB2 which then throws an error. iirc the error was to the effect of "you must load the kernel first" [22:00] drobole, i did try on tutorial but i was not able [22:00] I want to remotely control my other linux computer - how can i do that? (I need something like realVNC for linux) [22:01] nicofs: If you're comfortable with the command line, you can try SSH -- it's the quickest to get set up. Just install the openssh server on the machine you want to ssh into, then do ssh user@192.168.XXX.XXX [22:01] nicofs: That is, do that command on the machine that you're using to connect to the other (server) machine with [22:02] velociostrich, no - i want to control the pc that is connected to my media center and control the desktop environment there... laptop@lap as remote for the big screen... [22:02] volvering: hmm, the samba config can be a bit picky, the computers host names and folder permissions must match etc... [22:02] When i wget an image, where does it save to? === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [22:03] velociostrich: Can you try loading the kernel and initrd from the grub shell? You can just execute the commands that are in the menu entry. We need to find which command is failing and why, that specific error just means that the "linux" command failed to load the kernel for some reason but doesn't tell us why. [22:03] nicofs: Hmmm... I know there is software for that purpose but I've never used it... I think Gnome may even have remote desktop software installed by default [22:03] bin_bash: The current directory unless you specify "-O" and a different path. === Guest18549 is now known as DarkDevil [22:03] ok [22:03] drobole, yes i see i ll try another day.. thank u [22:04] sure [22:04] Jordan_U: I'll give that a try, but which configuration file is it that contains the commands to boot? Is it /etc/default/grub or one of those 10_linux files? (I haven't had the need to mess with GRUB in a while) [22:04] velociostrich, i installed "vino" as suggested by the hotwo (ubuntu wiki somewhere) and it is supposed to appear somewhere in settings - but it doesn't... i managed to set up tightvnc - but that's not what i need... === DarkDevil is now known as Guest69471 [22:04] velociostrich: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:04] I'm having an issue setting up a home VPN with IPSec and openswan. Does anyone have any experience with this topic? [22:05] Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll try that now. I'll have to bust out my laptop so I can work on both machines at once though === gavin_ is now known as _gavin_ [22:05] velociostrich: You're welcome. [22:05] nicofs: I'm sorry, but I don't know enough about remote desktop to be of help, though I'm sure someone else in this channel does [22:06] hi all [22:07] :) [22:07] ho [22:08] How can I get kernel object files ? [22:09] what do you mean? [22:10] sougata: object files are created by the compiler when you compile the source code [22:10] !netsplit [22:10] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [22:10] sougata, please elaborate, are you talking about kernel modules? === gavin_ is now known as GDog [22:11] th0r, I mean I want to get lucid kernel object files , so that I can lick the module that I ahve written [22:11] *link [22:12] sougata: If I understand the process correctly, you need to add the source for your module to the source for the kernel, then compile the whole thing. [22:13] unless you compile your module as a separate object and load it dynamically [22:13] th0r, I just wanted to avoid building the kernel from source [22:13] hello [22:13] anyone can clarify me ? [22:14] hi, can I watch the Tvtime via SSH? [22:14] i got a big problem with files and permission [22:14] Anyone know how to remote control another desktop? [22:14] ErrNick: if Tvtime is a linux package, you should be able to run it using X-forwarding via ssh [22:14] i host website on my server i have to chmod -R 777 to able to display the webpage what could be wrong ? [22:15] otherwise not working [22:15] nicofs: a windows box or a linux box? === me is now known as Guest6240 [22:15] th0r: I tried it, but it has a problem [22:15] use sudo [22:15] sougata: you can do that. basically compile your code to a .o file and load it with the insmod or modprobe command [22:15] th0r: I just wondering is it possible [22:16] hello [22:16] is that dead here or what ? [22:16] X_x [22:16] i host website on my ubuntu server i have to chmod -R 777 to able to display the webpage what could be wrong ? [22:16] velociostrich: I'll be AFK for about half an hour, but I'm comming back. [22:16] anyone know if i can take a HDD thats ntfs formatted and read it in ubuntu [22:16] jdeslaur: yes, you can [22:16] otherwise not working, what could be wrong ? [22:16] th0r, all plain linux [22:17] azertyy, you don't want 777. That will make the files writable by anyone viewing the website [22:17] Is it possible to startup applications in a specific workspace? [22:17] nicofs: then vnc is your best bet unless you want to explore NX or X-forwarding [22:17] jdeslaur, yes [22:17] okay what i have to do ? holmser [22:17] drobole, thank you . [22:17] azertyy: hard to say, i guess apache doesn't have ownership or permissions enough to handle your files [22:17] Jordan_U: that's excellent timing, 'cause I have to go AFK too [22:17] have you tried 755? [22:17] yw [22:18] is there any user linked with apache ? [22:18] that i have to assign for my webpage ? [22:18] hello [22:18] i think so, not an expert but i think apache is running as some user (not root) [22:18] O_0 [22:18] azertyy, check what group the files are associated with. should be www-data I believe [22:18] azertyy: Usually www-data [22:19] how to check i don't know ? [22:19] ls -l [22:19] with ls -l /folder i got owned by root [22:20] that's what i said before [22:20] i also try to reinstall apache but nothing changes [22:20] azertyy, try chown -R www-data yourfolder [22:22] Is it possible to startup applications in a specific workspace? [22:22] now it owned by www-data by if i go to the page [22:22] it says forbidden [22:22] hmm [22:22] You don't have permission to access / on this server. [22:22] k [22:22] isn't apache picky about where the folder is? [22:22] let me check my settings [22:22] must be under /var/www or something [22:23] hi again!

[22:33] ok bb all [22:33] :) [22:33] azertyy, chown -R www-data:www:data /var/www didnt work? [22:33] azertyy: you can set apache's user and group in /etc/apache2/envvars, my guess is you have APACHE_RUN_USER=asterisk set [22:33] no [22:34] no if i do /etc/apache2/envars i got www-data [22:34] and not apache [22:34] azertyy, you can find a php script that will echo : whoami, so you can be sure [22:35] How can I make my bluetooth headset automatically pair with my computer's adaptor?

[23:13] it doesnt let me... [23:13] it freezes [23:13] and how would I go about correcting that? change the boot sequence? would that prevent me from being able to start up with a live-cd?

Sorry, it is the only way I can help you now [23:14] jktcat: you'd need to boot the livecd, do some command line trickery and then reinstall grub to the disk inside, assuming it's as drobole says [23:14] i ran the live cd and installed it on both HDs to be sure, I'll see if i can find the instructions i used... [23:14] hi [23:15] christhecoolboy: you'd be surprised how little people generally try before asking in here. if i were you i'd disconnect power to the HDD and boot the livecd to see what happens, next [23:15] I cannot unscrew the hard drive [23:15] its part of the screen [23:15] drobole: both!? the installer usually only offers one choice :D [23:15] christhecoolboy: so are you actually saying you have an iMac? [23:15] Quick question: If I run update-grub, will it probe for other operating systems just like when apt-get pulls a new kernel?

[23:17] velociostrich: all update-grub does is re-generate the boot config from the other file, as far as i know [23:17] I accidentally opened the Braid run.bin installer file in clam, now I can't figure out how to make it not open in it... [23:17] christhecoolboy: what model? [23:17] daftykins: As in, it reads all those 10_linux 00_header and so forth files to generate /etc/grub/grub.cfg? [23:17] MSI AE2020 [23:18] velociostrich: hmm i'm not 100% sure, might be worth finding the GRUB2 guide [23:18] intok: right-mouse click -> properties -> open with [23:18] ooh-err one of those :S [23:18] * weather_dude is beautiful [23:18] drobole: when I boot it (the computer) i hit f12 for boot setup and choose the dvd/cd drive, it acts like it's trying to boot from there and i'm left back on the blank screen [23:19] daftykins, I bought it to play minecraft and games that take more RAM [23:19] daftykins: Yeah, the man pages aren't very helpful but I've been looking at the community Ubuntu docs -- should look for the official docs (if there are any) [23:19] Ampelbein well it lists nothing under properties>open with [23:19] velociostrich: ah ok, sorry! [23:19] intok: what happens if you click on 'reset'? [23:19] jktcat: ouch. could be a bad DVD or worse, a bad DVD player. (I have had plenty of those) Hard to say [23:20] christhecoolboy: hmm, that's an awkward one. can you get into the BIOS and disable the hard disk controllers, or google for a way to boot the livecd without probing for disks? [23:20] can anyone help me figure this out? I downloaded and ran through all the required installation steps, but it asks that I run a shell script to finish and I don't know how [23:20] daftykins: no problem, I'll struggle my way through this eventually ;) [23:20] UNew: what are you installing? [23:20] I installed db2exc, then I try to uninstalled using apt-get/aptitude but it fail. Then (trying to uninstall it ) I delete /opt/ibm/db2 folder. Now I can not uninstall or reinstall the package using apt-get or aptitude [23:20] I'll try... daftykins: Can I PM you while doing it, its hard to really see with everyone else typing... [23:21] daftykins: it's the TOR bundle [23:21] velociostrich: What problem are you having specifically now? [23:21] Jordan_U: Ah, you're back -- I did as you said and rebooted and ran the commands one at a time manually, and the boot breaks at the linux command, saying that it can't read the linux header [23:21] Ampelbein still makes it open in clamtk... it's only listed to open in anything under the r-click contextual menu, properties lists no assigned application [23:21] it show me this error: dpkg: error processing db2exc (--configure): [23:21] Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [23:21] reinstall it before attempting configuration. [23:22] UNew: are you sure you couldn't get it via APT? anyway, if the script is in the same folder as you, you may need to make it executable then run it. typically you'd open the terminal for that, type "chmod +x /path/to/scriptfile.sh" then "cd /path/to/" then "./scriptfile.sh" [23:22] is there a way to install ubuntu from a external hard drive? just a matter of boot sequence? would ubuntu have to be the only thing on it? [23:22] velociostrich: That suggests that you either have a BIOS bug or that the file you're loading isn't a valid linux kernel, possibly it's been corrupted. [23:22] jktcat: you can put it on a USB flash drive, if your flash drive is bootable [23:23] daftykins: thank you, I'll try that [23:23] is there a way to replace firefox on ubuntu's top bar? [23:23] daftykins: Can I PM you, I think I've found something... === Logan_ is now known as IBM_SkyNet [23:23] Jordan_U: I had the same suspicion (as for corruption; the BIOS does boot the same OS from a HD), so I've chroot'd into the CF card and I'm running apt-get dist-upgrade to try to get the newest version of the kernel (which is also hopefully not corrupted) === IBM_SkyNet is now known as SkyNet === SkyNet is now known as Logan_ [23:24] christhecoolboy: i should really sleep now. paste a link if you like [23:24] kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove [23:24] kevinkonrad: right click on the icon and chose remove from panel [23:24] velociostrich: Make sure that you have /dev /proc/ and /sys/ bind mounted in the chroot. [23:24] Well, I am now in Grub, pressing C at the list [23:24] intok: if you have a file manager window open, go 'edit -> preferences -> media' and check there [23:24] how do I format the Drive from Grub? [23:25] that's not really what GRUB is for, you'll need to look up some guides [23:25] christhecoolboy: You can't. [23:25] :( [23:25] Jordan_U: I have; I followed the instructions given in the community documentation which covers all those binds [23:26] Ampelbein ok, what am I looking for here? It's the installer file from the HIB, not off a cd === caulkz is now known as \caulkz [23:26] intok: oh, sorry. [23:26] is there a way to replace firefox on the top bar? [23:26] www.sexcam5.tk [23:27] Isnt there something like a CD I could use to format the Drive [23:27] kevinkonrad: If you're looking to remove the firefox shortcut from your gnome-panel, then yes; just right click it, then click remove, then choose your browser of choice from the applications menu, right click it and select "add to panel" [23:27] like Windows has its "Boot CD" [23:27] ...

Fdisk for Windows [23:32] christhecoolboy: HD corruption or not, you should be able to boot from a LiveCD. You DID run the md5checksum after downloading and after burning, right? [23:32] where it formats the Drive [23:32] Hi I'm having a really bad time with the USB Live install, it hangs at the second step. Also if I try the alternate installer it hangs at 45% Partitioner.

[23:35] no good, i thought it could be that i was using kde but gnome makes no difference [23:35] it could be my mouse [23:35] Jordan_U: Well, I updated the kernel and successfully updated grub (I see the new kernel at the grub prompt), but I get the same error. I have also (before this last install to the CF card) copying the files from the HD (that boots fine) to the CF card, and chrooting into the card and fixing grub and all that, but still to no avail. [23:35] if i try to right click and drag the mouse starts flying all over the screen [23:36] it could be because im using a touchpad [23:36] velociostrich: Try running "md5sum /boot/vmlinuz-2.6..." from the grub shell and from a booted system and see if they match. [23:36] kevinkonrad hover your mouse over the icon on the top bar; then press right click; you should see a menu; select remove from panel [23:37] you have both touchpad and mouse attached? [23:37] any good exploit irc channels? === root is now known as Guest37151 [23:37] drobole, no the left/right click buttions are part of the touchpad [23:38] Jordan_U: I would attempt that, only the booting system is running 10.04.2 and the CF card has 9.10, so they don't have the same kernels. I can vaguely recall where to find md5sums for .deb packages, so I can at least try that === Logan_ is now known as CeeLoGreen [23:38] kevinkonrad: maybe try a good old mouse then just to see it it is the touchpad drivers causing the problems [23:38] itaylor57: both left and right click launch firefox [23:39] intok: next ides: in '~/.local/share/applications' is there a mention of octet-stream? [23:39] velociostrich: You can just mount the 10.04 partition and run "md5sum /mountpoint/boot/vmlinuz...". [23:40] Jordan_U: Yes, but I have no known good copy of the kernel to compare the md5sum with [23:40] itaylor57: new computer, no port of old mouse [23:42] velociostrich: This is to determine if the problem is a BIOS bug, I'm assuming for the moment that the file is valid. === CeeLoGreen is now known as Logan_ [23:44] Ampelbein not that I can see http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/1365/screenshot1xk.png [23:44] Jordan_U: The checksums is e28354cbc313b061930b23630c12a0aa for 2.6.31-14-generic, which is the older kernel [23:46] velociostrich: I need to know if the md5sum from the grub shell matches what is read by a booted linux system. === Logan_ is now known as OlAmerican [23:47] Jordan_U: That's what I was trying to say before; I have nothing to compare that md5 with. I don't believe there is a problem with the BIOS as I am able to boot to a hard drive with that same system. [23:48] intok: then I'm afraid I'm out of knowledge [23:48] hi. can anyone help me please? my mouse freezes for 1 sec, every 5 seconds. very unnerving. iv changed the grub lines and added acpi=off and acpi=force irqpoll, then sudo grup-update. nothing changed. help anyone? [23:48] Ampelbein thanks anyways mate [23:49] hi, please help me till few hours before everything was fine i could connect to my wireless router with wep key, i have installed apache and everything was fine, and now whe i turned on my laptop i can no longer connect to my wireless router with wep key, without any protection i can connect but i cant connect with the wep key anymore, I have connected wit hwep in previous days.. [23:49] velociostrich: Did you run "md5sum /boot/vmlinuz-2.6...." from the grub shell? [23:50] serg27475024: is the system a branded PC or laptop? [23:50] Jordan_U: Ah, from the *grub* shell, no [23:50] Jordan_U: I will do that shortly [23:51] ActionParsnip: its a laptop [23:52] serg27475024: what make and model? [23:52] toshiba tecra a9PTS52E [23:53] hey guys [23:53] ActionParsnip: toshiba tecra a9 PTS52E === OlAmerican is now known as Olockid === Olockid is now known as Olfluff [23:55] there's a way to do voice/video on MSN? [23:55] ActionParsnip: did u discover anything......? ... [23:56] Jordan_U: If I cannot make the system boot off of the compact flash card, I may just create a clone of the hard drive in the event of failure, and mount the CF card on /home; the system is going to be used for a local e-mail server of sorts, so I went with the CF card because it can't fail physically like an HD can [23:56] can anybody tell me why in 10.10 when I run sudo nautilus in a terminal it turns my whole session into root instead of just the nautilus window that is opened? [23:56] serg27475024: not yet [23:57] josh_ritger: DON'T use sudo with nautilus [23:57] does anybody know a way to browse the internet from the terminal [23:57] cause i dont have access to gui right now [23:57] kkkkkkkkkkkk: use links, links2, lynx etc [23:57] ActionParsnip: thx [23:57] thanks, ill try that [23:57] kkkkkkkkkkkk: links lynx links2 w3m [23:57] ActionParsnip: how am I supposed to copy files into directories that are owned by root? [23:58] !gksudo | josh_ritger [23:58] josh_ritger: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) === Olfluff is now known as Olgeni [23:58] serg27475024: do you have the latest BIOS? [23:58] yep. [23:58] checked that as well. changed in bios: usb legacy= off [23:59] ActionParsnip: thank you, I have been using sudo nautilus for years, haven't upgraded since 8.04 lts so 10.10 is much different, thanks for the explanation also [23:59] serg27475024: ok when it stops, run: dmesg | tail what is output (use a pastebin to hold the text) [23:59] 亲爱的好朋友们，你们好吗？ [23:59] 呵呵 [23:59] josh_ritger: nautilus draws the desktop icons which may be why it runs the session as root, gksudo should fix that and will also not bork your ~/.ICEauthority file
