Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[00:20] i am ubuntu [00:20] i am using ubuntu [00:21] can someone tell me if this is setup correctly?? http://pastie.org/1645455 [00:21] jaunty: That does not make your question an Ubuntu support question. [00:21] soory, i am new to this.. [00:21] the bottom is my fstab file, the above is my hardware setup, just wanna double check if my stuff is correct [00:22] Has anyone experienced the ATI flgrx driver error where you get a text/TTY1 login after installing and rebooting? [00:23] needlez: some of the terminology is off but looks ok. I'd add the options: uid=1000,rw,user to sdb2 and hda1 [00:23] needlez: also you need to 0s on the end of the line, not just one [00:23] ok, but so they should mount just fine on reboot if i add those opetions?? [00:23] needlez: assuming the mount points exist, yes [00:24] why when I try to save document (html) that is in the www folder anoying popup comes saying that cant backup filer overwrite? i am using bluefish pls how to avoid this? [00:24] :S [00:24] jaunty: If you type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" (without the quotes) where you'd normally enter a message in your IRC client you will join the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. If you type "/join #freenode" you will join the channel for support questions about the freenode IRC network as a whole. [00:24] ActionParsnip, ok, thank you [00:25] i seem to have lost the network connection assistant in ubuntu, is there any way to get it back? [00:25] needlez: still using fat32? [00:25] Gunni: you mean it's not on the toolbar or it's not working at all? [00:25] Gunni: press ALT+F2 and run: nm-applet [00:25] just had, on partion that was fat32 to switch between windows and linux system, so i can drop files and look at them in both [00:26] needlez: Linux can read and write to ntfs [00:27] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to make a program alway start in a specific workspace / vw? [00:27] ahh, i didn't think about that, i could just set it to ntfs i guess [00:27] ActionParsnip, i ran it, it said it was running, i killed it and re-ran it, same as before, can't see it.. [00:28] thank you very much though, youre a very smart guy [00:30] needlez: thanks :) [00:30] l [00:33] is cron in ubuntu different somehow in other linux? i can't get this to accept * 14 * * * * (every day at 6pm) [00:34] bytesaber_work - what's the command [00:34] * 14 * * * * /usr/bin/killall xchat [00:35] hello ! running grub-install /dev/sda I get /usr/sbin/grub-install: 31: grub-install.real: not found [00:35] I guess some package must be reinstalled [00:35] seems you have one too many * ? [00:35] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron They use 6 [00:36] CalimeroTeknik: Did you install Ubuntu via wubi? [00:36] in the Predefined scheduling definitions table [00:36] no, it's in an ext4 partition [00:36] What is the default mysql root password in ubuntu? [00:36] I'm chrooted in ubuntu presently [00:36] kromium: you are prompted to set one during install [00:37] jrib: oh, I will have to remove and install it again then.. [00:37] and oops, I meant grub-install /dev/sda7 [00:37] kromium: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [00:37] ok i see it is optional - year [00:38] bytesaber_work: use gnome-schedule to setup cron if you fancy a GUI ;) [00:38] every day at 6pm - 0 18 * * * ... [00:38] !pkgfile grub-install.real [00:38] http://www.zedwood.com/article/135/linux-crontab-reference [00:38] CalimeroTeknik: grub-install.real is part of an (IMHO) ugly hack used for wubi. You should only see anything about grub-install.real if you have the package "lupin-support" installed, and that should only be installed if you used wubi to install Ubuntu so it's odd that you're seeing it. Do you have lupin-support installed? [00:38] why when I try to save document (html) that is in the www folder anoying popup comes saying that cant backup filer overwrite? i am using bluefish pls how to avoid this? [00:38] oh. strange ! [00:39] CalimeroTeknik: when you say you are chrooted? [00:39] I booted a livecd [00:39] mounted /dev/sda7 that contains ubuntu to /mnt (it has no /boot partition) [00:39] CalimeroTeknik: ok [00:39] mounted -o bind /dev /proc and /sys to /mnt [00:39] CalimeroTeknik: just checking, :p [00:39] chroot /mnt [00:39] then grub-install /dev/sda7 [00:39] and it says that [00:40] dejan_, The www folder is not writeable by your user. [00:40] that's a normal install on ext4 on /dev/sda7 [00:40] CalimeroTeknik: i figured you would want to just install it to sda? not a prticular number [00:40] edbian: this is so annoying and I must save there often because i am making changes to some webpages [00:40] mickster04, not really, because I will chainload it [00:40] edbian: how can I fix this please ? [00:40] CalimeroTeknik: very good [00:40] anyway, the problem is the same, file not found [00:41] (whether I use /dev/sda or /dev/sda7 as argument) [00:41] dejan_, Would you like the fix, or the explanation or both? [00:41] the url for the spam news does 404 [00:41] edbian: uh both will be ultimate solution = thanks :-) [00:41] CalimeroTeknik: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy lupin-support grub-pc"? [00:42] yes [00:42] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577247/ [00:42] edbian: i just transfered to ubuntu from 17 years in win hell [00:42] ActionParsnip, i ran it, it said it was running, i killed it and re-ran it, same as before, can't see it.. is there a way to connect to a password protected wireless network using the terminal? [00:42] dejan_, sudo chown root: /var/www then sudo chmod 770 /var/www [00:42] dejan_, congratulations on making the switch :) [00:42] Gunni: I use wicd which has a terminal based UI as well as an X based one [00:42] Using Nautilus "Connect to server" I can connect to my NAS using samba protocol.. but when I go to Places Network the server doesn't show up there at all.. now... sometimes it does... why is this? [00:42] serg27475024: and the output of: lsmod Thanks [00:43] Anyone able to help with samba and win7 before I off myself? [00:43] dejan_, The first command makes the group owner you, the second command makes the owner and the group owner able to read/write/execute and forbids anybody else from editing hte files [00:43] ActionParsnip i can't connect it to the internet, anything built in? [00:43] lwizardl: thanks :) [00:43] edbian: it says no such file of dir [00:43] Scunizi_: the thing you connected to will be in the left panel and should also appear on the desktop [00:43] dejan_, Where are these files? [00:43] edbian: um its in var yep let me check [00:43] poitee: i think suicide is a bit of an extreme reaction, give us some more insight into your problem [00:43] what's this ratelimit.c file? Often, when I start a new video on SMPlayer or Pause/Unpause it, the entire screen becomes black'n'white and stays that way. When I look at /var/log/messages file after that, it always says pulseaudio: ratelimit.c: [some #] of events suppressed. [00:43] Gunni: you can use iwconfig to define the connection [00:43] ActionParsnip: after connecting yes.. prior to that Places>Network can't see it.. [00:43] edbian: no read access for www-data? [00:44] dejan_, try this instead. sudo chown -R root: /var/www [00:44] Already apt-got samba... I can see the samba server on win7 but cannot browse or connect to shares... [00:44] jrib, oh is that supposed to happen... mmmm [00:44] strange [00:44] edbian: they are in var/www :( [00:44] dejan_, I might have been wrong, hang on a second [00:44] anyone know the release date for 11.04 ? the daily beta seems flakey hehe. And I want to see if my audio is fixed in the release [00:44] Scunizi_: not sure then. You can add the device permanently in nautilus by making it a bookmark which is in the connect to server dialogue [00:44] poitee: have you had a look at editing /etc/default/smb (possibly /samba rather than smb) and the config there? [00:44] lwizardl: ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:44] jrib, Should we add him to www-data group? Or make the files owned by www-data instead of root?

I also tried editing config.. they are mounted drives. /media/sata1 and sata2 [00:47] (it's for wubi, right ?) [00:47] CalimeroTeknik: Correct. [00:47] this is a normal install from the CD [00:48] that error on grub-install is very strange, if .real is in wubi ! [00:48] CalimeroTeknik: What is the output of "which grub-install"? [00:48] poitee: uhm, yeah that may not work so well...I tried creating a writable share on a mounted hdd and it wouldn't let me, even if i set the folder to the most open settings. i think mounted partitions always have certain rights when they are mounted... [00:48] serg27475024: ok try: echo "options psmouse synaptics_resume_reset=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse_fix.conf then rebot to test [00:49] ActionParsnip: ok. thx. will try. [00:49] mickster04: soooo? symlink or? [00:49] /usr/sbin/grub-install Jordan_U [00:50] CalimeroTeknik: Can you pastebin the contents of /usr/sbin/grub-install? [00:50] poitee: oh i never solved it, sorry. keep asking is all i can suggest [00:52] is there any way to redownload all of the original rhythmbox plugins? [00:52] here it is Jordan_U /usr/sbin/grub-install : http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/431193 [00:53] what is that strange stuff [00:53] ipwnage: reinstall rhythmbox? shouldn't that drag them in as deps? [00:53] definitely, I need to apt-get install grub-pc don't I ? [00:53] ipwnage: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename will reinstall whatever you wish [00:53] and it wont mess it up? [00:54] Jordan_U, will apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc correct this ? [00:55] is there a way to detect iptables current status? its ini.d/upstart job doesn't include status (ie service iptables status) [00:55] Hi guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.10, I want a user be able to copy a file to my system remotely on just 1 folder, I want to give him ssh access but want to make sure that he can't get out of that one folder [00:55] still not there [00:55] I can do it by writing a script to check proc but I was hoping there was an inbuilt solution [00:55] CalimeroTeknik: It should. It's completely bizarre that you have wubi's grub-install though. [00:56] yes, and that's part of the reasons why I want to chainload ubuntu [00:56] I don't understand it very well so I prefer to isolate it [00:59] If anyone could help, that'd be amazing. According to this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure - Step 17: play -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav My sound is actually working! I just need to edit a file "/etc/asound.conf" that doesn't exist on my system. Can anyone tell me if I should create this file since it doesn't exists or what? [00:59] hehe look at what I made on an egyption ubuntu server.. http://magizian.dyndns.org:20080/ntsh.jpg [00:59] Magizian: that's off topic for fututre reference [00:59] shamelessn00b: use sshfs, its default enabled by installing openssh-server [01:00] Magizian: also it's egyptian* [01:00] it's ubuntu.. you may want my help in doing similar. [01:00] Magizian: no that's off topic, also the link seems dud:p [01:00] ok. [01:00] ActionParsnip: I have openssh-server installed, is there a step-by-step guide I could follow? [01:00] nevermind. [01:00] shamelessn00b: look for scp [01:01] !sshfs [01:01] 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 [01:01] I started looking about chroot jail [01:01] this sounds neater [01:01] thanks [01:02] shamelessn00b: nautilus has it built in too, you can even mount the remote share ;) [01:02] nautilus was programmed by an italian dude now in a better life [01:03] Jordan_U, I had to run apt-get -f --reinstall install grub-pc , because of a bunch of unsatisfied deps [01:04] the contents of grub-install haven't changed !!!! [01:04] Hi [01:04] hey guys i recently installed windows xp in a vm using virtualbox, my question is how do i get online inside the vm? [01:04] CalimeroTeknik: What is the output of "dpkg -S /usr/sbin/grub-install"? (if it's more than one line use pastebin) [01:05] @trick .... I can help [01:05] komotive_: great thanks [01:05] Hey, I"m trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer, I'm at the 'Who are you?' stage but the forward button isn't available. [01:05] Seanf, What did you type for a username ? [01:05] what you need to do is set the network options to nat mode if you do not have a dhcp service locally [01:05] Sean [01:05] Seanf, the username field must be all lower case [01:06] Seanf, (They should really mention that in the installer) [01:06] ok thanks [01:06] let me try that === Guest15386 is now known as DarkDevil [01:06] komotive_: im a bit of a noob at this stuff, and that sounds difficult [01:06] if you do have dhcp then you can use the other mode ... [01:06] Ok .... I'll run up min [01:06] Jordan_U, that gives : grub-pc: /usr/sbin/grub-install [01:06] mine* === DarkDevil is now known as Guest5975 [01:06] seems normal, and yet, it's getting really unbelievable [01:06] edbian, you are a lifesaver! [01:06] komotive_: well i have a wireless network here, and computers connecting to it are just given an ip address i think [01:06] Seanf, haha, just experienced [01:07] komotive_: does that mean i have dhcp? [01:07] I've been pulling my hair out over this for hours [01:07] Yep you've got it! [01:07] DHCP is a go [01:07] Seanf, hahaa, you should have asked earlier! [01:07] Later guys! [01:07] :) [01:07] So from the top tabs ..... delect [01:07] komotive_: great so where do i go to select it? [01:07] select* [01:07] I know [01:08] I bricked my last computer trying to do that, now I can fix it xD [01:08] select [01:08] CalimeroTeknik: I have no idea what's happening. Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug grub-pc". [01:08] komotive_: top of what? [01:09] Jordan_U, I can fix this with the ubuntu livecd nope ? [01:09] then, updates will always fail of course [01:09] ( the menu bar )then use the dropdown to select [01:09] komotive_: oh ok [01:09] how can i tell the date on which a system was installed? [01:10] so you can select nat or bridged [01:10] komotive_: yep and u want me to choose bridged? [01:10] nat will give your machine a translated IP address for the www [01:10] bridged will put it on the same as your lan [01:11] komotive_: ok so i should choose NAT? and do i choose 'cable connected' or not? [01:11] cos im on wifi [01:11] CalimeroTeknik: You can run grub-install from the liveCD environment but you don't really need to as you already should have a /boot/grub/core.img that you can load via grub legacy using the commands I gave you in #grub. [01:11] trick, Choose cable connected. The virtual machine does not have wifi (and does not care that the host OS is on wifi) [01:11] Jordan_U, good point. [01:11] just use bridged and it'll set everything for you ...... [01:11] oh ok [01:11] hy. in my boot folder there is a /boot/config-2.6.32-27-generic, what does that file do? [01:12] nikin, That's the kernel [01:12] komotive_: ok i just chose bridge, now what? :D [01:12] hello everyone [01:12] edbian: no... it is a text file with lot of config options [01:12] nikin: It documentes the options that were used when that particular kernel was built. [01:12] i need help with my ubuntu [01:12] nikin, Oh it's in /boot? I'm not sure what it does [01:12] jeymbj, What's your problem? [01:12] nikin: its just a text file that shows what options the kernel was built with [01:12] i am using the version 10.10 [01:12] jeymbj, great, what is the issue? [01:13] Jordan_U: i see... so it is practically read only :) [01:13] jeymbj: all in one line please [01:13] nikin: Correct. [01:13] untick the enable button in the same window - or use cmd in the winxp and do ipconfig /release renew process [01:13] and every time i update is return with error 127 [01:13] Jordan_U Pumpkin- : thank you ... thats all i wanted to know :) [01:13] komotive_: wow it works [01:13] kool [01:13] jeymbj, Can you pastebin the problem? [01:13] nikin: You're welcome. [01:13] nice and easy [01:13] komotive_: amazing, thanks!! [01:13] komotive_: crazy [01:14] yes just one second [01:14] now if you want to share folders on your host ubuntu, then install the guest addins [01:14] komotive_: one moe stupid question :) im running on a netbook, so my screen is small but it seems to make the windows vm screen almost the same height so it means i have to use scroll bars in order to see everything [01:14] komotive_: any idea how i can just make the windows vm screen smaller? [01:15] is there a way to make the live cd reinstall OVER the existing install and NOT alongside it? 10.04 amd/64 [01:15] you can go one better ..... install guest addins and use seemles mode [01:15] trick, Ubuntu can virtualize XP on a netbook. AWESOME. [01:15] *seemless* [01:15] cryptodira, tell the live cd to format. [01:15] can i send you the printscreen of the error please [01:15] cryptodira: Yes. Do you want to preserve the contents of /home or whipe everything? [01:15] cryptodira, Yeah, just tell it to use the old / as it's / and the old swap as it's swap. The partitions will be reformatted and thus erased for you. [01:15] jeymbj, sure [01:16] blkdg, forgot to mention that i did NOT want to reformat... [01:16] :D ok thats not all i wanted :) i want to decrase the kernels load balancing ticks... to save battery power [01:16] cryptodira: you CAN but it'll probably make a big mess [01:16] Jordan_U, Preserve the existing... [01:16] can i have your email son can do it [01:16] Can anyone help with an ubuntuone sync problem I have (also couchdb phantom records) [01:17] jeymbj, Just use pastebin. www.pastebin.com [01:17] edbian: what does 'virtualize xp on a netbook' mean? [01:17] jeymbj, Or, if it's an image, www.imageshack.com [01:17] I'm a little confused. Is this #ubuntu or #ubuntu-unregged? [01:17] trick, Nevermind [01:17] cryptodira: Choose manual partitioning, select your existing '/' and set its mountpoint to '/' and make sure that the format checkbox is unchecked. [01:17] el_seano, This is #ubuntu (you were in #ubuntu-unregged) [01:17] ActionParsnip, i have developed several performance issues.... and would like to get back to the base/initial install WITHOUT losing my current partitions [01:18] @trick - use seemless mode you'll see what it means!!! [01:18] el_seano: This is #ubuntu. [01:18] jeymbj: use imageshack / photobucket to host the image [01:18] ah, so my client's just refusing to update the channel name [01:18] komotive_: hehe ok ! [01:18] * el_seano /cycles [01:18] komotive_: how do i get that mode working? [01:18] trick, he means running xp in vm [01:18] huh... [01:18] still there. [01:18] Can anyone help with an ubuntuone sync problem I have (also couchdb phantom records) please! ;o) [01:19] Jordan_U, that is a good approach....not sure that i saw that in the gui.... will look again. === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [01:19] * el_seano /parts [01:19] trick, running a VM is 'virtualizing' you're virtualizing XP and Ubuntu is able to do it on a netbook (which means you have modest hardware) which means Ubuntu is efficient (and that impresses me). Clear? [01:20] @trick press right 'ctrl key 'and 'l' after guest addons installed [01:20] ok is donde is on www.imageshack.com [01:20] Hey all [01:20] sorry done [01:20] jeymbj, Give us the link [01:20] Afflicto, hello [01:20] does this not mean what I think it means? Next to the channel's modes it's showing #ubuntu-unregged 5:10, but still shows Freenode/#ubuntu for network/#channel [01:20] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition, It lags like hell in the menus! [01:20] trick, google virtualbox full screen ubuntu 10.10 [01:20] takes about 1 minute to open up "software center". [01:20] Has anyone experienced the ATI flgrx driver error where you get a text/TTY1 login after installing and rebooting? [01:20] Netbook Remix is a waste of time in my opinion. Desktop runs much better on my netbook. [01:21] Afflicto, Are you sure you didn't boot the live CD or the live USB > [01:21] sorry i am no very good on it what you mean [01:21] I installed using a USB. [01:21] But I installed while being inside of windows xp thoug, [01:21] cryptodira: what Jordan_U is describing will do it but I don't advise it personally [01:21] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10. Where can I modify the settings to the built-in screen capture program? It defaults as .png but I require .jpg format. Thanks! [01:21] is uploaded to www.imageshack.com [01:21] ActionParsnip and Jordan_U , I am NOT having any luck upgrading to 10.10 (it just hangs after languages) and thought perhaps to get 10.04 straightened out first [01:21] Can anyone help with an ubuntuone sync problem I have (also couchdb phantom records) - please! [01:21] jeymbj, Are you viewing the image right now in your browser? Give us the address it's at [01:21] Anyone else get a lag when authenticating installs? [01:21] I have ubuntu 10.10 (desktop edition) on a cd, I think i'm gonna use that, works better. [01:21] ActionParsnip: Why don't you advise it? [01:21] Bing0, use gimp or another app to convert. [01:21] But, how do I uninstall ubuntu? [01:22] Format :D [01:22] http://img822.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img822/4218/error127.png [01:22] I need to keep windows. [01:22] Jordan_U: the status file will show fewer packages than are actually available, its not hugely graceful [01:22] blkdg, the reason I prefer not is because I can resize within natiulus. with that said, can the presets not be modified? [01:22] is that one [01:22] Afflicto: you don't unless you used wubi [01:22] Afflicto, Just install Ubuntu over itself. Alternatively, boot the live CD, use gparted to erase the Ubuntu partitions. (either one achieves the same goal of removing the old Ubuntu install) [01:23] jeymbj, that's it [01:23] ActionParsnip: Interesting. Is there a bug report about this? [01:23] Afflicto: you repartition then reinstall mbr or a bootloader you'd like [01:23] huh [01:23] wait. [01:23] yes [01:23] whats wubi? [01:23] !wubi [01:23] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [01:23] I am a first time user of Ubuntu and linux. its easy but i dont know commands. Does anyone have commands for linux and what the do? [01:23] yes I used wubi, it was on the usb drive. while inside win xp. [01:23] usl_: it's depends what you want to do? [01:23] So.. easiest way to uninstall is gparted? [01:24] jeymbj, I'm not sure. You should ask in the spanish channel [01:24] @usl_ google is your friend!! [01:24] Bing0, doesn't look like it. [01:24] usl_, PM me :) [01:24] jeymbj, It's hard enough to figure out. Let alone in another language. [01:24] usl_: this is a support channel for people with problems, if you are just learning this probably isn't the place for you [01:24] Afflicto: If you installed Ubuntu via wubi then remove it using Add/Remove programs in Windows. [01:24] i have to mention that i am having that error 127 after i upgrade fro, 10.04 to the 10.10 maverick === ogra is now known as Guest2736 [01:24] ActionParsnip, that is an interesting feature.... one that i would not have noticed... so in the interests of gracefully fixing 10.04, how can i figure out why the 10.10 upgrade hangs? [01:24] ok thanks [01:24] usl_: nobody is born knowing the commands [01:25] mickster04, is there any channel well i can learn? [01:25] ActionParsnip, true! [01:25] cryptodira: upgrade in terminal [01:25] I'l do that then. Btw, If I remove windows, will ubuntu perform better? [01:25] usl_: um, try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:25] @usl_ try youtube as well ... [01:25] usl_: google for unix and linux commands, you will find many good resources [01:26] ActionParsnip, ahhh.... from within 10.04.... will give that a whirl. Thanks for your thoughts and help [01:26] o aim sorry is because i speack spanish but just one moment i will change to english [01:26] @usl_ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0fzyE2zBeI [01:26] Afflicto: If you install Ubuntu by booting from the liveCD rather than installing within Windows using Wubi then there will be a slight increase in performance as reading and writing to disk will be faster. [01:26] Jordan_U, Thank you for your thoughts and help. [01:26] is that ok for you it will take a couple of minute [01:26] hmm [01:26] ok [01:26] cryptodira: I always use the cli way personally [01:26] Ok, brb guys! :D [01:27] how do i configure remote desktop access via cli and not installing vncserver? [01:27] cryptodira: You're welcome. [01:27] Code_Bleu: Outside of VNC, you could do XForwarding. [01:27] but that won't give you a desktop. [01:27] Code_Bleu, or you could ssh === Guest2736 is now known as ogra_ [01:27] just an X application [01:28] ActionParsnip, any caveats i should be aware of on the cli path? [01:28] Hey guys, unimportant question. What do you think is the most fun time wasting game in the repositories? [01:28] Sabatini, wesnoth [01:28] there's a breakout clone that ate my life for a while [01:28] el_seano: i want desktop access [01:28] Code_Bleu: Then you want VNC server [01:28] code_bleu: apt-get install xrdp [01:29] code_bleu: its what I use [01:29] Duh! I completely forgot to reinstall Wesnoth! thanks blkdg [01:29] code_bleu: you can vnc or rdp into it works well [01:29] poitee: thanks [01:30] Anyone know a decent virtual webcam program? [01:30] I want to stream some games, but I can't find a program to do it with [01:30] Like something similar to manycam?

Shutter can do what i require, and is in the repos..thanks tho. :) [01:32] hello, I got this script off http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/After_Using_PhotoRec and have filled in the correct folder varables, but the script does nothing, not even spit out any output.

[01:33] it works with other ipods just my computer doesn't seem to like my ipod very much [01:33] Tiktalik: Looks like WebcamStudio might be what you're looking for. http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcamstudio/develop [01:33] ipwnage, After the dbus error do you see anything in the output of dmesg? [01:33] ArchMikux: I tried that. It keeps telling me Module webcamstudio is not loaded. Virtual webcam will not be availible...

[01:34] Datz: try "sudo -i" [01:34] Datz, that } is a typo [01:34] ah [01:34] thanks [01:34] great [01:34] when i click on the ipod cairo dock says unable to mount it and then when i do it through the menu at the top it says "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" [01:35] ipwnage, What about in dmesg?

Run it in the terminal. It's a general log [01:36] ok, "grub" wasn't found. I'm using live cd. when I instll grub, where does it install to? [01:36] ArchMikux: I haven't the slightest idea how [01:36] Tiktalik: This might help you with installing it from source http://www.ws4gl.org/download/manual-installation [01:37] ArchMikux: Thanks, I'll try that [01:37] its long as crap. it wont even let me copy it all [01:37] how can i tell the date on which a system was installed?

Please use www.pastebin.com [01:41] edbian, i've never used synaptic pkg manager , only the software centre [01:41] blkdg, I was under the impression they would all log stuff in synaptic regardless of which one you used.

Figuring out how long the system has been installed? [01:42] i've got a problem with this webserver [01:43] Hello all - can anyone help with a couchdb issue in evolution, phantom records and ubuntuone sync issue? Thanks! [01:43] hello, i want to burn an *.iso to dvd, what program do you prefer ? [01:43] when i try to pass a parameter to php it issues an error [01:43] goal 1, figuring how long the system has been installed, goal 2 figuing out everything i've added to the system [01:43] anyone can help me ? [01:43] etsw: k3b [01:43] the error only appears on the following url http://fripta.com/pag.php?user=hugo [01:43] etsw, gnome-baker [01:43] v3ctor: i downloaded it but it didnt burn. [01:44] etsw, if you have kde, k3b [01:44] blkdg, look in /var/log [01:44] blkdg, What is the highest numbered syslog you have? [01:44] sup3r_wx: Are you hosting this website using Ubuntu? [01:44] yes [01:44] sup3r_wx: Can you pastebin the php script in question? [01:45] can i burn .iso to flashdisk? do you know any program ? [01:45] blkdg, There is a complete dpkg log in /var/log see all the .gz files for it? Every package manager uses dpkg so that should be a complete history of all package manager activity [01:45] sup3r_wx: You may also want to try asking in ##php. [01:45] ok, i'll aks in ##php [01:45] thx [01:45] sup3r_wx: You're welcome. [01:46] blkdg, As for age of the system. That's gonna be tricky. Here is a possible shortcut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520810 [01:46] etsw: Only some isos can be used to create bootable flash drives. What iso are you trying to make a bootable flash drive from? [01:46] edbian, highest syslog is 6 [01:47] Jordan_U: what iso? *.iso [01:47] is there a specific channel for disk partion recovery? [01:47] or partions in general? [01:47] blkdg, Then I suggest copying that syslog onto your Desktop, un compressing it and looking at the first few entires for a date. [01:47] blkdg, Also, see the link I posted above [01:47] silicon_, You're here. [01:47] k great [01:47] silicon_, Although I probably won't be able to help you recovery a lost partition. [01:48] edbian, reading the link... [01:48] my ubuntu desktop won't boot anymore, i get an ash shell, even by choosing recovery mode in grub [01:48] blkdg, clever idea, ls /usr/sbin === kaneda is now known as Guest6986 [01:48] etsw: Not all isos are the same when it comes to how they boot, and if they can be used to make a bootable USB drive. What iso, specifically, are you trying to make a bootable USB drive out of. Or is that in fact what you're trying to do? [01:48] silicon_: can you run: startx [01:48] i'll try that [01:48] silicon_, Why/when did it stop booting? [01:49] the power died as it was booting [01:49] when I restarted it it wouldn't boot [01:49] i'm running a livecd on it now === andrew_ is now known as Guest14465 [01:50] silicon_: Try running a filesystem check with System > Administration > Disk Utility [01:50] edbian, ls -l /usr/sbin gives me dates from 2009 .. older than 10.10 ... [01:50] Jordan_U: i try to install windows instead of linux, because i tried but i didnt like it. it's so hard to find something. for example to burn an .iso , i tried 8 different program but i couldnt. it's easy on windows, Nero makes everything. i accidently install 2 mount program not burning. it's hard to use this. [01:50] I tried doing this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/couldnt-mount-because-of-unsupported-optional-features-2000200-a-616473/ [01:50] silicon_: boot to livecd and fsck the partition, the data may have been damaged [01:50] blkdg, Is it possible you installed in 2009 and updated the system for 10.10 and 10.04 ? [01:51] no, installed in the last week of feb [01:51] hi [01:51] blkdg: you should be able to get a pretty good idead of the install time by looking at the timestamp on the lost+found directory in / [01:51] edbian, installed in the last week of feb [01:51] tried startx, get "/bin/sh: startx: not found" [01:51] etsw: k3b and k9copy are the best cd burning and ripping software in linux imo [01:51] blkdg, haha, well the forum poster said it wasn't a guaranteed method. Although I must admit I did not expect it to report older than the truth! === bne is now known as bnedotw [01:52] I'm booting to liveusb actionparsnip [01:52] drobole_: okay i am going to try k9copy now [01:52] etsw: Burning an iso file to a CD and making a bootable flash drive from a .iso file are very different things. Which are you trying to do? [01:52] v3ctor, lost and found date looks resonable. thank you [01:52] etsw: k3b for burning i think [01:52] blkdg: np [01:52] Jordan_U: I get an error when I run "grub-mkconf -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" -> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev/mounted?) [01:52] thanks v3ctor [01:53] k3b is kde based so will pull in a LOT of Qt deps [01:53] Jordan_U: I see /mnt/dev [01:53] edbian, what did you want me to do with that .gz file ? === Guest6986 is now known as skaneda [01:53] drobole_: i tried it but it didnt see my empty dvd. [01:53] Datz: And you're sure you ran grub-mkconfig within the chroot? [01:53] blkdg, Look in it and see the dates for the entires. [01:53] drobole_: one of my friend connect my linux, and burn it from terminal but it didnt work too [01:53] ok [01:54] blkdg, I thought the oldest log would be highest numbered but I'm starting to think that is not true by looking at my own logs [01:54] yes thats true, my experiance though is that I end up with both gnome and kde sooner or later anyway. thats just my stand [01:54] Jordan_U: well I ran "sudo -i) before so I've been root the whole time as far as I know [01:54] "sudo -i" [01:54] Datz: This has nothing to do with being root or not. [01:54] etsw: ok thats strange [01:54] well I see root@ubuntu:/# [01:55] for the command prompt [01:55] I'm looking for an intermediate level linux ebook, anyone have any suggestions? [01:55] I'll exit and run sudo [01:55] Datz: Can you pastebin the output of "mount" from within the same shell as you ran grub-mkconfig? [01:55] actionparsnip: fsck it how? [01:55] what options?

[01:56] silicon_: boot to live cd and read: man fsck you can see your partition names with: sudo fdisk -l [01:56] Stormx2, look at top to get an idea what is eating up processor time [01:56] edbian, the stuff in the .gz looks like a dmesg. not a listing of installed applicaitons. [01:56] tried that [01:56] edbian: minecraft is. [01:56] it's a FAT32 partion listed as /dev/sda1 [01:56] blkdg, look at dpkg logs to see package stuff. (syslog is dmesg) [01:56] Stormx2, Nothing else? [01:57] nothing else [01:57] thanks edbian looking [01:57] silicon_: fat32 isnt very robust at all, this may go badly [01:57] ahh that's better edbian [01:57] Jordan_U: pastebin.com/dGuME8w1 === C_Okie is now known as cjo232 [01:57] thanks Jordan_U , but I'm looking for something to broaden my horizons a bit.

I'm on Kubuntu 10.10, laptop is a dell latitude e5510 with Intel WiFi Link 6200 wireless card. I think it's using the iwlagn driver. [02:05] ActionParsnip: i was just thinking to set up a proxy for packages using http-replicator, wasnt sure if i could use the same for debian and ubuntu, if the file names are different it should work [02:05] EmuAlert: change the first * to */1 [02:05] silicon_, use testdisk [02:05] EmuAlert, is the user allowed to use cron? [02:05] Datz: To use that particular guide you need to use a 64 bit LiveCD. [02:06] Someone tell me why we don't use preload package to make our boot faster?

I used fixmbr in recover console of windows xp disk but it says it may corrupt the partitions tables [02:06] so testdisk and foremost are out [02:06] Datz: If you don't have one at hand there are other options. [02:06] Yo. Booted into ubuntu today, tried to run minecraft, and found it running very slow. Reboot didn't solve. Was running fine yesterday. Nothing else is hogging CPU. How can I debug?

[02:08] LnxGnome: Well /var/log/syslog says "fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory" right after it tries to run my crontab entry. Also, is there any way to refresh crontab after you edit it, or does it happen automatically? [02:09] I suppose I'll just have to work from backups [02:09] a bit sad [02:09] mickster04: fixed my samba issue [02:09] Cole: Join #coreboot for that. [02:10] but a good lesson to make backups regularly :P [02:10] EmuAlert, That tells me that postfix isn't installed and/or configured correctly, so you cannot see the output of your job (which is normally mailed to the user running the job) [02:10] Jordan_U: can't stat /dev/sdc/ should I try sdc1? [02:10] ColdFyre: grub isnt a replacement for the bios [02:10] i'm curious, would you be able to recover from an alternative to FAT32 [02:10] Datz: No. Get rid of the trailing '/' [02:10] ok [02:10] ColdFyre: sorry, wrong target [02:11] ;) [02:11] Jordan_U: that worked :) [02:11] Jordan_U: ok so I pick up from a step in the guide now?

It's not an issue with any other wireless device [02:19] Actionparsnip : any other way like in the settings? [02:19] EmuAlert, Cron runs commands for you. if those commands produce output to STDOUT, then the system by default tries to mail the output to you. That requires some kind of mail delivery system. postfix is mail system.

[03:52] the one im not using? [03:52] Im not sure you can remove it. only overwrite it [03:52] AcidBarrel: can you see it as a partition in: sudo fdisk -l [03:52] cant even write to it via command line can you... [03:53] nooo the nightmares, of dual booting [03:53] can i just remove the /boot folder, and that will rid of the files? [03:53] if so, which one do i remove? the /boot on the recovery partition, or the one on the linux ext4 filesystem? [03:53] cesurasean: i think so yes, if you installed it on a partition [03:54] test [03:54] no, you want it on both [03:54] why on both? [03:55] AcidBarrel: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31694 seems if you set it to MTP its ok in older firmware [03:55] well, becouse then you can boot in to the system using any of them as the jump point from BIOS. Not sure I understand the problem though [03:55] ty === jkm2 is now known as jkm === jkm is now known as jkm2 [03:56] the problem is that i have 2 copies of grub. not sure why....

[03:56] Hello! can anybody tell me how I can write hindi using transliteration in ubuntu 10.10 [03:57] I was hoping to get some help with CCSM. It appears to affect only some of my changes while other remain unseen. Can anyone help me with this? [03:58] cesurasean: thats not a problem, unless you want something else there. The thing is, grub doesn't change what disk your BIOS jumps to. BIOS always only jumps to one disk, if it finds grub there the rest goes well [03:58] if you have grub on another disk as well, it doesnt matter [04:00] drohole_, when i go to install a newer kernel, how's it going to end up? 1 of the installs will become old, and void? [04:01] that's why i don't want two versions of grub installed [04:02] Hello! can anybody tell me how I can write hindi using transliteration in ubuntu 10.10 [04:03] cesurasean: yes you want to know what grub is in use so you update the right one, I was just saying that having a copy of grub on another disk doesnt hurt in any way [04:03] so yes, the ubuntu 10.10 installer claims to work with 2.6 gig available but it does not. just a fyi! [04:03] * mouse-_ bums out, looks for a larger hd [04:03] drobole_, how do i find out which one is being used? [04:04] and how do i remove the one that's not being used? [04:04] mouse-_: it can [04:04] do you know what device your root directory is? [04:04] ActionParsnip: "The installer has unexpectedly quit" [04:04] is it /dev/hda? [04:04] /dev/sdb [04:05] mouse-_: you can use the mniimal ISO then install openbox and get an OS for near enough 1Gb [04:05] ok then the grub in use is the one at /dev/sdb [04:05] yeah, see, it doesn't work with the non-minimal ISO install [04:05] usually /dev/sdb is a usb device [04:05] which is strange [04:05] since it says 2.6 gb available, yet 2.9 gig is available (shrug) [04:06] mouse-_: true: if you run: sudo apt-get clean you can free space [04:06] i'm not going to argue the point [04:06] mouse-_: also use smaller apps like abiword + gnumeric instead of openoffice [04:06] cesurasean: so you have installed grub on /dev/sdb1 or something? [04:06] yes [04:06] since arguing over 2.9 gig of space is like arguing you don't have an extra quarter to put in the phone booth for the 25c to 50c upgrade charge of a payphone call [04:06] that's my problem [04:07] so, how do i remove the grub im not using, without affecting the one that is good and is being used... [04:07] cesurasean: do you know what /dev/sdb1 points to? [04:07] yes [04:07] cesurasean: do you mean you have multiple kernels to choose from when you boot?

[04:08] Can I reinstall ubuntu without overwriting my home folder if I had given it its own partition? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest90124 [04:08] hello, I am having the same issues building the kernel modules virtualbox via dkms that this user is: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/01/msg01508.html ... however I am using the stock pae ubuntu kernel instead of a custom built one. I installed the pae headers, but I am still having the same issue. Is there some other change I need to make so that I can build this module? [04:08] ActionParsnip, im not new to linux, bro [04:08] cesurasean: mount will tell you which partition is /boot [04:08] ok you mount it (if its not already) and you cd to it and delete the /root directory there i guess. not an expert on this though [04:08] cesurasean: I see [04:09] cesurasean: all I can recommend is mount the partitions to see which kernels in the displayed grub match the partition contents [04:09] im currently booted into my system [04:10] how do i know which /boot, off which partition was read? [04:10] he said / is on /dev/sdb [04:10] yshi: if you have your home in another partiton, yes [04:10] i think sdb, and sdb2 have it [04:10] how do i remove the one not being used? [04:10] type: mount [04:10] in a terminal [04:11] nwm [04:11] Is there a way to tell my computer .. ubuntu 10.04 to ONLY run the internet connection over a usb .. and to NOT change the phone as well ( for when I'm on the move .. and needing to teather .. but dont want to drain my laptop battery .. to charge the phone its teatherd to ) [04:11] Xangua: but when I install, I still need to designate my /home partition, doesn't it format by default? [04:11] sda2, and sda5 both have a /boot [04:12] delinquentme: that should be up to the phone [04:12] btg mounted from gsick.com [04:12] how do i remove /boot from sda5? [04:12] cesurasean: check which /boot has the current kernel [04:12] yshi: just uncheck it to not delete it [04:12] what directory is sda5 mounted on? [04:12] hey, i'm getting 404'ed trying to install some packages from lucid backports. Unlikely that the repo is down, right? what can cause this behaviour in apt? [04:12] sda5 is / [04:12] Hmmm im backing it up anyway. Thanks ill try [04:13] can someone help me set up a wireless card on ubuntu? its an imac with a BCM4328 Wifi Card? [04:13] and what dir is sda2 mounted on then? [04:13] sda2 is /media/SYSTEM RESERVED [04:13] cesurasean: check which /boot has the current kernel [04:13] from what you're saying, i'm thinking its sda5 [04:13] its likely to be sda5 [04:13] hey guys, how can i install the latest google protocol buffer library? [04:13] you mean sda2 is swap [04:14] no [04:14] sda2 is recovery partition [04:14] and sda5 is ext4 [04:14] so you could cd to /media/SYSTEM RESERVED and delete boot from there. (do on your own risk though) [04:14] i have 2010 macbook pro with ssd, where do I install boot loader to, /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (/boot) [04:14] can someone help me set up a wireless card on ubuntu? its an imac with a BCM4328 Wifi Card? [04:15] drobole_, are you sure that one can be deleted? [04:15] cesurasean: check which /boot has the current kernel!!! [04:15] Ben65, both configs are the same [04:15] The instructions for installing onto a Software RAID say to use the Alternate Install CD.

[04:32] ? [04:32] what that does is it loads the drivers right away [04:32] syn-ack: I'm doing a update right now. THink that will fix it? [04:32] ok [04:32] instead of on reboot [04:32] syn-ack: It only sees one there should be 6 [04:32] yeah i did [04:32] drobole_:there is a tar.bz2 file [04:32] what do i replace that with nisstyre? (im kinda new to all this stuff) [04:32] jcoonan, have you actually install the system or are you running this all off the liveCD? [04:32] mouse-_: That's probably what put it over the edge on space. [04:32] ssbpls: it should be a folder in /usr/src without "headers" in the name. look for that [04:32] syn-ack: nah this is fully installed now [04:32] meowski, nothing, just run those two commands without the quotations [04:33] if all goes well you should be able to use your wifi [04:33] jcoonan, Do you mind a /msg?

[04:33] drobole_:the name of file is "linux-source-2.6.31.tar.bz2" [04:33] meowski, no, just the two I pasted [04:34] ssbpls: ok that is the kernel source then, you can extract it with: tar -xvjf linux-source.....bz2 [04:34] meowski, you shouldn't need to use ndiswrapper btw [04:34] broadcom have real linux drivers now === FarkingBish is now known as FarkingBish[slee [04:35] drobole_:en,i have extract it with the root === FarkingBish[slee is now known as FBish[sleep] [04:35] ssbpls: after extracting you have a folder called linux-source-2.6.31? [04:35] nisstyre, those 2 commands should get the wifi on automatically? [04:36] drobole_:and then?

[04:37] Question - I have Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I somehow changed my default shell to something other than /bin/sh. My terminal prompt shows up as $ on my domain account now. I would like to change it back, but I am unsure of how because the chsh command will only change the setting for LOCAL users, not domain users. What can I do? [04:37] Oh, while i'm here, how do you connect via wifi through cli? [04:38] still not working-How do I highlight this text for you? [04:38] nisstyre, it says "sudo: modprob not found" [04:38] meowski, modprobe : ) [04:38] lmao sorry :3 [04:38] ActionParsnip, testing [04:39] roasted__: My guess is that your actuall problem is that you *did* set the login shell to /bin/sh, when what you wanted was /bin/bash. [04:39] also, try "sudo modprobe -r wl" first [04:39] meowski, the commands posted on the ubuntu article try and load several different ones [04:39] drobole_:then the commond are followed:"make;make bzImage;make modules;make mdoules_install" which i search [04:39] Jordan_U: perhaps you're right. Either way, I can't change it back, as chsh only works for local users. It errors out saying the user doesn't exist in /etc/passwd, which I was like, no kidding... its a domain user... [04:39] roasted__: I can't help with the management via a domain controller but hopefully that can get you looking in the right place. === FBish[sleep] is now known as FBish[insomnia] [04:40] now it says " fatal" module wl not found, nisstyre [04:40] meowski, try substituting wl with b43 [04:40] drobole_if i do these steps , how to use the kernel code tree? what do it work for? [04:40] still not working ActionParsnip [04:40] drobole_:if i do these steps , how to use the kernel code tree? what do it work for? [04:40] i did put b43 , nisstyre [04:41] Amitabha: can you expand on "not working". It helps nobody, most of all you [04:41] i put "sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl, nisstyre [04:41] meowski, do you have internet access right now? [04:41] on your laptop I mean === FBish[insomnia] is now known as Farking[sleep] [04:41] ssbpls: if you do that you will compile a new kernel and install it amnually. Im not sure its a good idea unless you know what and why you are doing [04:41] yeah, thats how im on irc. the other computer running ubuntu doesnt. [04:41] meowski, do "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source" [04:41] then try the previous commands [04:42] ssbpls: and i dont know what you mean by "what do it work for" [04:42] I honestly don't see why ubuntu can't include these by default :\ [04:42] Does Ubuntu have an option to not mess with the MBR when it installs? [04:42] Question - I have Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I somehow changed my default shell to something other than /bin/bash. My terminal prompt shows up as $ on my domain account now. I would like to change it back, but I am unsure of how because the chsh command will only change the setting for LOCAL users, not domain users. What can I do? [04:42] Can I delete all folders in /home/root/ dir? [04:42] drobole_:if i want to write the device drivers; how can i use the new kernel? [04:42] arent they config folders? [04:43] nisstyre, it said : "sudo: apt: commando not found" [04:43] command* [04:43] apt-get is one word [04:43] ActionParsnip, sure- it is in applications but when I click on the download button on a webpage it states that an error occured [04:43] meowski: sudo apt-get [04:43] ssbpls: you mean write a driver and make it part of the kernel itself? [04:43] vague_dude: define "can"; there is generally nothing stopping you but you might want to retain configuration of programs that you might run as root [04:44] ActionParsnip, should not the wine have created an icon? [04:44] drobole_:yes! i want to insert the module to test it! [04:44] Amitabha: what is the error it states? [04:44] nisstyre, it said "do you want to continue, Y/N [04:44] mu: I just want to clean the home for root :) [04:44] meowski, just hit y and then enter [04:45] vague_dude: Well nothing will stop you and say "hey, you shouldn't be doing this" but you should know what you are deleting [04:45] and once you know what you are deleting, it should be clear whether or not they are important to you [04:45] ActionParsnip, an error occured while loading the archive [04:45] mu: programs wont stop working if i delete root's home right? it's config files.. [04:45] vague_dude: Thus, I don't want to say "Yeah, nothing will happen" when I obviously have no idea the files your root home folder may contain. [04:46] drobole_:do i have to boot the new kernel in the /boot ,and if i want to test my module ,do i have to start the new kernel and test it ? [04:46] ssbpls: umm, thats a advanced topic. Basically you write the module, copy it into the source tree where the drivers it, then you have to add a line in some config file to instruct make to compile it into the kernel. You better find a good tutorial on the net. its hard to explain here [04:46] Amitabha: what is the name of the file and where is it located and I can give a command (both are VERY case sensitive) [04:46] vague_dude: Most likely no programs absolutely require anything from the home folder. So no, nothing will crash. [04:46] the / partition is the most important [04:46] mu: in /home/root/ there is only config files created when i ran programs as root [04:46] nisstyre: it said "unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?" [04:46] >.> [04:46] ActionParsnip, internet chess club [04:46] roasted : vi /etc/passwd go here and change the shell of the user [04:46] i guess [04:46] ssbpls: no dont do that. compile your module to make a .o file, and load it with the insmod command to test it [04:46] meowski, yeah, do sudo apt-get update [04:47] then do the previous command again [04:47] nisstyre, what do input? [04:47] i input* [04:47] sudo apt-get update [04:47] vague_dude: Most programs only require those configuration files when they are run as root; and most of the time, they won't fail without them, but simply create a new config file from a default one as needed [04:47] ActionParsnip, www.chessclub.com/helpcenter/interface/Dasher.html [04:47] ActionParsnip, click on dascher [04:48] Hello word [04:48] hello person [04:48] nisttyre, now i do "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source" === arlander is now known as waspin [04:48] Question - I have Ubuntu on a Windows domain.

[04:49] jiltdil: that'll need sudo [04:49] meowski, it will update your entire system [04:50] Is there a clean way to kill login sessions, such as when you're ssh'ed into a box, your connection is broken, and you log back in? [04:50] and is pretty much what chsh does, and will thus not work.

[04:50] jiltdil: I don't understand your question. I'm asking you to explain what you want to accomplish [04:50] FoolishOwl, kill your shell pid? [04:50] ps aux | grep bash ? [04:51] drobole_:i am reading the book "linux device drives" writed by Jonathan Corbet etc. but the book tells me to build the kernel code tree and just use the command "insmod module-name" to test the module. however, i don't understand where the module insert into ? Is it insert into the old kernel or the new one? [04:51] ActionParnisp:how to change it through command line as usermod -s /bin/shell name doenot work [04:51] what's the difference between using ; and &&? [04:51] Nisstyre, that sounds right. [04:51] ruan: is to add a second command [04:51] ruan: && only runs the second command if the first one is successful [04:51] nisstyre, it said "some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." [04:51] oh y [04:51] ruan, && means the next command will not run if the last doesn't have a return code of non 0 [04:51] ah ok [04:51] ; means the next runs no matter what [04:52] I mean if the last doesn't have a return code of 0 [04:52] >.> [04:52] ie: if it failed to finish [04:52] -.- [04:52] meowski, I'm sorry, not really sure.

[06:32] ActionParsnip: The problem only happened because of ubuntu's grub boot loader [06:32] ZacLnxNewb: you are stil installing windows [06:32] ActionParsnip: I think I've found the answer though [06:32] ActionParsnip: The problem is entirely related to ubuntu [06:33] ZacLnxNewb: I think what he's getting at is that the problem is with Windows not playing nicely with dual-booting, and thus it's not something that the channel provides support for. [06:33] While it may be a result of something Ubuntu *did*, it's not a problem caused by Ubuntu directly. === Moose is now known as Guest20418 [06:34] Most notably, Windows likes to hijack the MBR on install, which is why one should always install Windows first, so it doesn't mess things up. [06:35] goodbye ubuntuers [06:41] ActionParsnip: I rebooted ubuntu (in vbox) and tried to follow the instructions in the video but, the iso image for guest additions is not coming up on the desktop. Please advise? [06:43] ActionParsnip: The reason why I downloaded the guest additions is bc someone here said it would fix my VirtualBox screen from a window to fullscreen. [06:44] ur2d2r: does't work [06:44] ur2d2r: does't it work? [06:44] ActionParsnip: when I use CTRL + F it switches to fullscreen but it is still a window with a 5" black coarder around it. [06:44] boarder [06:45] no [06:45] I just want my VirtualBox to use my full monitor [06:46] ur2d2r: have you installed the virtualbox additions [06:46] ur2d2r: yeah i know [06:46] ok [06:46] yes I believe I have [06:46] I installed the guest additions package [06:46] ur2d2r: i once install xp [06:47] Win7 [06:47] ur2d2r: i once install xp in the box [06:47] ur2d2r: If you have and it is working right you should be able to use seamless mode or full screen [06:47] xxy7611 [06:47] Hi, what command should I use to rebuild my /boot partition? [06:47] how do I change these settings? [06:47] ur2d2r: what settings are you referring to? [06:47] resolution size? [06:48] ur2d2r: you try system->preference->reso [06:48] you can just right click or something and change to full screen [06:48] its a virtualbox option [06:48] My monitor is 22" and the Virtual Box is only using an 8"x10" window in the center of my screen. [06:49] ur2d2r: o [06:49] while in fullscreen mode [06:49] I've never installed anything other Linux distributions in VBox but installing the guest additions has fixed that issue about 95% of the time [06:49] u need to install the guest addon [06:49] and then reboot, then you can resize it to any resolution u want [06:50] yeah if you haven't rebooted the machine you have to do that [06:50] virtual machine that is [06:50] I installed the guest add on but I haven't been able to figure out how to install or "Use" it. [06:50] ur2d2r: how did you install it [06:50] its like a driver [06:50] just reboot it [06:50] Package is installed though [06:50] then try resizing it [06:50] installed through package manager [06:51] I just rebooted [06:51] ur2d2r: can't do it like that [06:51] nothing changed [06:51] i dunno about package manager [06:51] is the best way to install the latest kde standard desktop through the synaptic manager? [06:51] u gotta isntall it thru the menu, it mounts like a CD drive [06:51] ur2d2r: I've never heard of installing guest additions through a package manager. [06:51] install through the menu????? [06:51] ur2d2r: aren't you virtualizing windows? it has no package manager [06:52] ur2d2r: parasol is right [06:52] ur2d2r: you have to install it on the virtual machine, not the host [06:52] ur2d2r: when you're in the virtual OS, the guest additions mounts as a CD. There is an installer on the "CD". You install that [06:52] ok how do I check if its there? if i go to installed packages it shows up? [06:53] I installed it through the os on the [06:53] ur2d2r: you cant install it on the host machine, like acid said. I'm not sure how to check [06:53] Box [06:53] I didnt install through host [06:53] ur2d2r: if a cd was mounted in the virtual os and you ran the guest additions installer it should be installed [06:53] the only os i have on the machine is ubuntu 10.10 [06:53] ur2d2r: all you should have to do is reboot for it to take effect [06:54] you have to install the guest addon, one of the menu on the your virtual box unbuntu window, it will mount as a cd, open it, and there should be a notice that says install script notice, its like an autorun file. just click that [06:54] i installed through ubuntu on the box [06:54] I dont know how to mount a cd [06:54] ur2d2r: it's an option in the menu system of virtual box [06:55] ur2d2r: I'm pretty sure if you just click on the guest additions it will mount it for you [06:55] open it where? [06:55] yeah, in the VBox menu [06:55] Hi, is there some way to get the Intel integrated i5 GPU running under Maverick with compiz? [06:55] http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/ [06:55] It didnt work [06:55] just go there [06:55] nothing happened when clicking guest add ons [06:55] ur2d2r: what didn't work? what exactly did it say, do, etc [06:55] it should mount like a CD on your ubuntu, should show up on your desktop [06:56] nothing happened. Nothing [06:56] I clicked add on button in menu 10 times. Nothing has happened any time [06:56] said nothing did nothing [06:56] ur2d2r: ok [06:57] is not on the desktop [06:57] ur2d2r: if you shutdown the guest then set the ISO to be mounted at boot, it will show [06:57] i dont understand this if you shutdown the guest then set the ISO to be mounted at boot, it will show [06:57] ur2d2r: Go to the main Virtual box window. [06:57] ok [06:58] now what [06:58] Click on the OS that you have virtualized, under the "new", "settings" etc buttons [06:58] Good so far? [06:58] Hi, are there any instructions on how to recover a /boot partition for Ubuntu? [06:59] yes [06:59] ur2d2r: now click on settings [06:59] go on [06:59] then storage [06:59] which kde version is linked in the synaptic ? [06:59] 10.10 [06:59] click on the thing right under "IDE controller" [07:00] settings is not highlighted [07:00] If you have an OS setup and click on it you should be able to click on settings [07:01] the os is highlighted but the settings is not [07:01] I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, I've never seen that issue [07:01] right click on the OS and then choose settings [07:01] is it bc I'm using th eos in the box? [07:01] os [07:02] now [07:02] it seems like it doesnt want me to change anything while its running [07:02] Oh [07:02] if you have it running then yeah, you cant do anything [07:03] you have to shut the virtual machine down [07:03] I have xchat installed in windows can i access this chat from there? [07:03] win7 host [07:03] Should be able to, the channel is the same [07:03] #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net [07:04] http://imagebin.org/141771 [07:04] Cooltux, what witchcraft is that?! [07:04] Am I right here in this channel for asking graphics card compiz solutions? [07:04] croessner: I dont see why not [07:05] I just don't know the answer [07:05] compiz fusion [07:05] If you try to enable extra effects what does it do croessner? [07:05] AcrimoniousGoron do you like it??? :P [07:05] CoOltux: not exactly sure what it is [07:05] it's my desktop [07:05] AcrimoniousGoron, it tells me that it can not enable it [07:05] its the matrix [07:05] But I have 3D [07:06] What exactly does it say [07:06] and what exactly did you do to get that response [07:07] AcrimoniousGoron, at the moment I can not test it, because I use the "real" fglrx card. I have very bad eyes and need the neg-plugin in compiz. So I use the HD6850 right now for daily working. But this uses lots of energy [07:07] hi, chrome not closing. how can I force chrome to close ? [07:08] AcrimoniousGoron, I only clicked on the "normal" effects and then it told me that it can not be activated [07:08] dr0id use killall [07:08] I tried killall -l chrome [07:08] no luck [07:08] gave me some weird output [07:08] croessner: so you say you have an i5? [07:09] CoOltux: any idea ? [07:09] and you don't want to use the video card for normal use [07:09] AcrimoniousGoron yes [07:09] are you disabling the video card somehow? [07:09] I don't follow completely [07:09] dr0id, run top in a terminal find the pid number and then sudo kill -9 pid [07:09] ok, thanks [07:09] AcrimoniousGoron, at moment the BIOS disables it. I can choose which card to use there [07:10] Hi [07:10] dr0id try xkill === Guest92294 is now known as DarkDevil [07:10] AcrimoniousGoron, if i5 worked, I would unplug the card and only put it back in, for gaming. Which is once in 2 years :) [07:10] do we have channel for aircrack? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest83837 [07:12] croessner: It is possible there may not be a suitable i5 driver for the compiz effects [07:12] AcrimoniousGoron, I thought there might exist some WHITELIST variable for compiz_manager or so, but could not find information on the web [07:12] or the i5 may not be capable of it, although I would find that strange if that were the case [07:12] AcrimoniousGoron, ah ok [07:13] a driver issue is more likely [07:13] AcrimoniousGoron: which i5? [07:13] I don't know, ask croessner [07:13] l9sJcma; [07:13] croessner: which i5? [07:13] AcrimoniousGoron, well I have shadows and the avant-window navigator works. Guess 3D in general is working. But compiz, no idea. [07:14] Is is possible to run Links2 in graphics mode without root privileges? [07:14] gartral, how can I find out which i5? [07:14] gartral,model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz [07:14] croessner: i couldn't tell you, nvm [07:14] croessner: do you have the box for the processor? [07:14] ohh that's a nice one [07:15] AcrimoniousGoron, that means GPU support over the board chipset? Yes [07:16] i've got a wireless problem anyone know why i would be able to connect but not ping any other machine on the network or get out to the internet [07:16] Ex_:I had that problem before. I had to manually add my gateway via route. [07:17] right on i'll try it out thanks [07:17] If I knew it worked in Natty, I would upgrade (not being a newbie) [07:19] Hello world [07:20] 404 [07:20] World Not Found [07:20] lul [07:20] hey can i get some help? [07:20] what do you need [07:20] !help biggmac [07:20] I cant get my wireless to work [07:21] !help | biggmac [07:21] biggmac: 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).

[07:24] gart unknown job... [07:24] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:24] that's the correct command [07:24] biggmc whats the problem?

[07:25] yeah sougata: whats up lol [07:25] my Atheros chipset just works, thankfully [07:25] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [07:25] nope still down [07:25] okay well initially all my commands was in /etc/rc.local, then i put them into the /etc/network/interfaces instead and it worked [07:25] thats for the WEP enabled [07:26] Aha , cool [07:26] :-) [07:26] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [07:26] okay [07:26] that does not sound good [07:26] hey sougata, any recommendations on what wireless card to get for my ubuntu server?? [07:27] biggmac: Do you have a wireless kill switch on your laptop? [07:27] yeah [07:27] has anyone else had problems getting network shares to show up in Places>Network>Workgroup? I can't seem to get Ubuntu to connect to a NAS unless I type nautilus smb://192.168.1.1 and I've read a ton of posts, but they seem to be outdated for Ubuntu 10.10. === root_ is now known as stag-reseau7 [07:27] i've been messing with smb a lot lately [07:27] biggmac: Is it set to the position where wireless is not disabled? [07:27] can i see your smb.conf [07:28] which one? on the nas or my computer? [07:28] on your comp [07:28] both are default and I have smbclient on the computer [07:28] no man [07:28] biggmac, rfkill list [07:29] so do I even need to mess with the smb.conf on the computer since I'm not using smbd on the comp? [07:29] smbhelp: are both running ubuntu? [07:29] Hi! Why does the gnome panel have a seperate applet to display my Network status (an docked apps like XChat), when my Volume/Battery/Mail/Bluetooth are all in a proper systray looking thing? Is there an app that will allow me to combine them? The "network status / apps" bar leaves ugly gaps in my panel when icons are removed [07:29] 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN [07:29] Soft blocked: yes [07:29] Hard blocked: no [07:29] sudo rfkill unblock 0 [07:30] jleg94, no, the router is running dd-wrt and smbd under it and my computer is running ubuntu [07:30] lol thats probably ur answer there biggmac [07:30] okay, so do you know what the name of the workgroup on the router is?

[07:31] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [07:31] smbhelp, any authentication required? [07:31] jleg and thats the default in smb.conf as well, right? [07:31] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [07:31] jleg94, no, guest account and full access [07:31] biggmac do this : sudo su [07:31] then repeat the command [07:32] smbhelp, okay. and yes by default it is set to use workgroup. [07:32] should have said, via command line not through a GUI tool [07:32] root@Nuke-Unix:/home/biggmac# [07:32] smbhelp, you may want to try specifying a couple other parameters though on top of the default configuration [07:33] jleg94, when I do 'smbclient --list=192.168.1.1 --user=guest --no-pass' it sees the share but wont let me browse to it [07:33] what is the process for installing 10.10 FROM a cd via cli as an upgrade to 10.04? [07:33] !upgrade | cryptodira [07:33] jleg94, and mapping it using nautilus smb://... is dumb b/c it wont show up in other programs as a place to save or load from [07:33] cryptodira: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [07:34] smbhelp, alright. try seeing if this helps. edit your smb.conf and add the line "netbios name = hostname" under global [07:34] jordan_U was that to me? [07:34] biggmac: No. [07:34] k [07:34] jleg94, edit smb.conf on computer or router? [07:34] im out of ideas [07:34] smbhelp, the computer [07:35] Jordan_U, Thank You. [07:35] cryptodira: You're welcome. [07:35] smbhelp, also change "wins support = no" to yes [07:36] smbhelp, save that and then install winbind. Once that's done restart samba and cross your fingers [07:36] Anyone have any other ideas? [07:37] smbhelp, you may need to restart networking as well too [07:37] jleg94, this is starting to sound a lot like a post I read... but will try [07:37] hi. perhaps i'm missing something obvious, but how can I run samba? I did install samba and smbfs packages, yet there is no /etc/samba and I can't find any configuration for it ?!

[08:25] it doesn't look as clean as it looked before installing drivers [08:25] but everything works [08:25] natrixnatrix89: the driver hasn't loaded i'll grab a guide [08:25] it might be that it has changed dpi [08:25] that used to happen to me when using nvidia drivers [08:25] !gz | DandyKoffin [08:25] DandyKoffin: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [08:25] it shows 99% JamezQ wonder if I can see in time too .

I guess, how do I install a program that comes in that format? [08:26] thanks [08:27] there is something wrong with my swap it seems. Firstly, I cant hibernate or suspend (the menu options arent even there).. secondly, blkid shows me two swap entries with different UID's but same partition (/dev/sda5) [08:27] any ideas? [08:27] DandyKoffin: you can think of source tarballs as boxed dinners [08:27] also the "free"-command shows that the swap isnt being used.. at least it has "used=0" [08:27] there's no one way that you cook them all [08:27] you gotta read the instructions [08:28] usually in the README file, or the INSTALL file, or something similar [08:28] ! gnome [08:28] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu.

I always apply that to all systems I configure [08:35] Anyone? blkid shows two swap entries on the same partition but with different UUID's.. [08:35] jnlsnl_: man firefox maybe [08:36] ActionParsnip "No manual entry for firefox" [08:36] ActionParsnip: So I just have to edit /etc/default/grub and that's it basically? [08:36] I usually google for help with commands, im just wondering :) [08:36] Untouchab1e: if you run: sudo parted -l do you see 2 swap partitions?

[08:51] recognosco: yep [08:51] different size though, which is odd [08:51] and fstab only shows one of them [08:51] what does fdisk -l say? [08:51] or cat /etc/mtab [08:52] does anybody know anything about Edubuntu? [08:52] Untouchab1e: can you swapoff the bad uuid and unmount the uuid too?

Can somebody explain what unmet dependencies are? [08:57] mehdi_: sure, the packages will be in the repos [08:58] RawChid: translating to which language ? [08:58] Dutch [08:58] cocoa [08:59] I've googled for unmet dependencies. But can use a backup explaination... [08:59] i got problem with linux [08:59] RawChid: in a package based OS each package may rely on others to exist and be a certain version to work [08:59] missing ingredents [09:00] I know... [09:00] RawChid: dependencies are between software packages, for example firefox depends on firefox-branding; when a dependecy can't be installed for some reason, it's called "unmet" [09:00] unmet something different than 'broken' [09:00] RawChid: if the package is unavailable or not a sufficiently new version you will get the error [09:01] So unmet means: "dep. can not be installed" ? [09:01] Or dep. package can't be installed [09:01] when i stop moving mouse the music player not play well? [09:01] i don't know why :( [09:01] unplug mouse [09:01] RawChid: yep, exactly [09:02] RawChid: nothing is broken, you just can't install the package you desire [09:03] z1l0g: any solution else :(( === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [09:03] And broken dep. means: "The dep. is not 'satisfied', you need to install dep. packages" === dejan_ is now known as config|sys [09:03] Oke thnx for this! Now I'm sure I understand [09:03] candrea: ahhh, wait, they are not the same partition.. one is sda5 and the other is sdb5 [09:03] Hero: maybe turn off powersaving mode; might be that [09:03] *facepalm [09:03] Untouchab1e: :P [09:03] Untouchab1e: ;-) [09:03] gahhh [09:04] z1l0g: how can i turn it off :-? [09:04] guess I can move on to the actual issue then [09:04] hibernate/suspend doesnt work [09:04] RawChid: yes once you satisfy deps the package will drop in [09:04] I just eventually get thrown back to the login screen [09:04] Has anyone attempted to dist-upgrade recently?

[09:05] lag: I will [09:07] lag: i just did. nothing. [09:07] I have a server with a RAID controller in it. This morning, the RAID died, and I replaced a disk. I suspect the server is rebuilding on the array now. The system load of the server is over 400, and it's pretty much unusable. The RAID is a two disc mirror of 250GB. Vaguely, how long should I expect the rebuild to take.. ? [09:08] recognosco: All is working for you? [09:08] z1l0g: I found power management but i can't see power saving mode any where [09:08] lag: yeah. no issues. [09:09] mika__: I don't know any software solution for your problem, put probably the best solution (if yours is a laptop) would be to close the screen and lock the pc [09:09] recognosco: Bugger - thanks anyway [09:10] mika__: your best bet would be to make a custom screensaver which just uses a screen shot before it starts up [09:10] Hero: there should be a place to set spin-down times for discs, etc [09:10] Hero: is this a desktop or laptop? [09:10] there are already some screensavers which use the desktop background as part of an effect, maybe you can configure one of those to just display the screenshot [09:10] hi. Anyone knows how to get tftpd working? [09:11] what error message are you getting roland?

[09:40] Ubuntu bug 694279 in QBzr "GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.1/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL), when running as root" [Undecided,New] [09:42] Our company needs a webserver, a LAMP-installation, for internal use, so within the network domain. We developed with an external company a web application, which is currently running on a development server on their side. Now we want to migrate the application internally. But first question is: What hardware do i need for such a thing? We have 25 employees, expecting a max of 10 users working with the application concurrently. [09:42] candrea, moltendorf, btw the command on winblows is nslookup [09:43] Mosselmaniac: Anything from later than 2005 and larger than a cell phone [09:43] http://pastebin.com/RH6HKCH1 [09:43] ... [09:43] moltendorf: since you are runnign DD-WRT, assuming you're also using it as the DNS server for the LAN, just edit the /etc/hosts file and add an entry for your server [09:44] bullgard, No luck. The work around doesnt work either. :( [09:44] Mosselmaniac: Depense what load and technology you talk, your developer should give you statistics and stress test data. [09:44] Mosselmaniac: Seriously, depends a little bit on what you're doing at the code and database, but any current workstation or server will suffice for 25 users [09:44] recognosco: One moment, attempting that now. [09:44] Mosselmaniac, What hardware do you have? [09:44] moltendorf: the /etc/hosts file of the router [09:44] turneralex: that is my questino, what should i buy. [09:45] how can i see ip of my computer??? please help [09:45] Mosselmaniac, I would just go for a small x86 system. If you want the 'IO' and redundancy features of a server, find a secondhand DL380 online [09:45] Like a G3 or a G4 is all you need. [09:45] ganesha: go to http://phihag.de/ip/ [09:45] ganesha: type: ifconfig [09:45] ganesha, your own computer? what OS is it running? internal or external ip? [09:46] shcherbak: 10 users, a typical CRUD-web-application... PHP5. [09:46] Then install Ubuntu server on it, followed by LAMP and a wrapper if you'd fine it handy like webmin. [09:46] I booted from a 10.10 liveCD Ubuntu comes up in command line mode, tried startX, it cannot, the log shows an error: AIGLX : dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_vieux_dri.so failed. Any Ideas? I successfully booted from a Mint 8.0 CD and a puppy Linus CD. even an old Kubuntu Jaunty CD. [09:46] recognosco: It's already there, but I think I know why it's not working properly. [09:46] turneralex: http://www.andreas-glaser.com/ : "Solution: Instead of “update-manager -d” simply use “dbus-launch update-manager -d”" [09:46] phihag_: that might show his public IP address and it will not be the ip address for his computer ;) [09:46] moltendorf, does your router assing dns server address to clients? is it its own? [09:46] About to neck myself over this, my ubuntu install keeps failing me, i've reinstalled twice and ughh. http://pastebin.com/624hHqZh now nautilus has stopped responding. What do? [09:47] bullgard, Ahh thanks mate, i'll give it a shot :) [09:47] What is a g3? [09:47] moltendorf: nslookup seems to work fine [09:47] recognosco: Sorry, my magic 8ball needs recalibration, and who cares about private IPs? [09:48] turneralex; g3 / g4? [09:48] IPv4 DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 (From connection details in windows 7) [09:48] Mosselmaniac, DL380 G3 or DL380 G4 - its a 2U server made by HP. Reall nice :) === michael is now known as Guest42454 [09:48] But, Ping request could not find host moltx-mac. Please check the name and try again. [09:48] turneralex: where to buy and is it expensive? [09:49] moltendorf, on the same (client) machine? [09:49] phihag_: depends, right? you care about your private and public ip depending on what you're doing exactly. [09:49] wow. 2.5K [09:49] Well its an older model and look on ebay. [09:49] Mosselmaniac, Your in the netherlands yeah? [09:49] moltendorf: What kind of device is 192.168.1.1? Can you access its admin panel? [09:49] turneralex: yes [09:49] Mosselmaniac: "Real" servers w/ redundant power etc. start at 2-3 k€ [09:50] phihag_: it is a router running DD-WRT [09:50] Mosselmaniac, http://cgi.ebay.nl/HP-PROLIANT-DL380-G4-I-XEON-3400X2-4096-2X36-CD-SERVER-/250783730651?pt=DE_Technik_Computer_Peripherieger%C3%A4te_PC_Systeme&hash=item3a63e00bdb [09:50] NETGEAR WNDR3700 v1 [09:50] recognosco, you can nslookup but you cant ping from the same client machine? [09:50] Wireless Bridge is Linksys E3000 (also running DD-WRT) [09:51] High_Priest: it is moltendorf, not me. :P [09:51] phihag_, The DL380 is as real as servers get, with lights out management and raid arrays. This just happens to be a couple of years out of date. [09:51] sorry, yeah :) [09:51] recognosco: Well, then go to its web interface and look up its DNS server zone. Is the host you're trying to look up there? [09:52] :))) [09:52] lol === dragon is now known as Guest37097 [09:52] recognosco: ? [09:52] i will stop replying for others [09:52] oh [09:52] phihag_, it is moltendorf who has this problem :) [09:52] phihag_: i was trying to help moltendorf [09:52] One moment guys. [09:52] Still fiddling. [09:53] moltendorf, so can you answer my question please? you can nslookup but you cant ping from the same client machine? === kornel is now known as ibowi === ibowi is now known as Ibowi [09:53] turneralex: thx, but we don't want 2nd hand :) [09:54] http://pastebin.com/cy1Y92LR === ericm__ is now known as ericm-dinner [09:55] Sorry, forgot to include some information: http://pastebin.com/NpGiXzYR [09:55] moltendorf, hmmm try ipconfig /flushdns [09:55] and try ping again [09:56] moltendorf: what happens if you type the whole name on your browser's address bar? http://moltx-mac.hsd1.ca.comcast.net [09:56] So it appears the name that resolves to 192.168.1.4 is moltx-mac.hsd1.ca.comcast.net [09:56] yeah [09:56] fqdn issue [09:57] moltendorf: remove the domain and your problem should be solved [09:57] recognosco, if that's possible on the router [09:58] host name is empty, domain name is empty, but the router is configured to use WAN domain. [09:58] Going to tell it to use LAN & WLAN (which is empty) [09:58] High_Priest: DD-WRT does wonders, i believe. [09:58] recognosco, maybe, haven't used it myself so I dunno [09:59] High_Priest: i use Open-WRT but similar stuff i guess... [09:59] It has its bugs, but way more flexible and fast than the firmware for both routers. [10:02] is emerald theme manager buggy? [10:02] my system is stable running the default compiz stuff [10:03] visual1ce, yes it is to a degree... it hasnt been worked on for quite some time. [10:03] oh [10:03] visual1ce, it has been ported over to the compiz 0.9.x release [10:03] i c... [10:03] visual1ce, however,, emerald has always been badly coded [10:03] i retire [10:04] Using it as the local DNS does not make it happy it seems. [10:04] visual1ce, and one of the guys attempted a new decorator for compiz but he had to work and go to school and then the code changed in compiz [10:05] q. how to make a screenshot of a given window ? [10:05] jetienne, alt+printscreen [10:05] The load average shot up from about 0.08 to an average of 0.98 which doesn't seem right. [10:05] jetienne, that window has to be focused at the time [10:06] i think i'll just wait for whatever comes next... apparently gnome 3 should be good... [10:06] i just wonder with all these layers and code upon code if it wouldnt be better to start from scratch [10:06] Hello im trying to install dnscache (apt-get install dnscache-run) but after the install (and added service) and reboot, it seems that dnscache isnt running (cat /var/log/dnscache/current -> no such file) Anyone know how to start and why isnt it starting? [10:06] moltendorf1, but is it working now? [10:06] visual1ce, well in ubuntu 10.04 compiz is the base for compositing ,,,mutter has be removed [10:07] visual1ce, I dont know if the actual "gnome3" is going to be better than that [10:07] visual1ce, rather ubun tu 11.04 [10:07] visual1ce, so ubuntu 11.04 will have compiz instead of mutter as the compositor for the netbook edition and the version of compiz on 11.04 will be compiz 0.9.x [10:08] i see [10:09] visual1ce, you can download the live cd for ubuntu natty now...and depending on your video card you can test it via the live cd however it is still a bit buggy [10:10] i tried running the 10.10 livecd on my desktop (p6t del v2 + w3520 @ 4.2 + gtx 480) but when i looked at the screen it was full of errors in red font [10:11] i think ill wait for the final release for natty [10:11] visual1ce, you mean 11.04 live cd? [10:11] nope 10.10 [10:11] visual1ce, oh well try the 11.04 live cd and see what happens [10:11] that's a good idea [10:11] im going to try that now [10:12] cool === Guest62822 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest35796 [10:12] visual1ce, which video card do you have? [10:13] i also have problems using Supervise $ svscan -> supervise: fatal: unable to start /music/run [10:13] my desktop has a gtx 480. i have another but i sent it away for repair - can i run sli in ubuntu? [10:13] visual1ce, so nvidia [10:14] High_Priest: nada, and it got so locked up, I got disconnected there. [10:14] Had to disable and reboot. [10:14] ya nvidia [10:14] hmmm i wonder what natty is like [10:14] :)) === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [10:14] visual1ce, well the live cd will end up showing the classic gnome desktop ,,, in 11.04 there are 2 distinct desktops...Unity and calssic gnome...Unity is meant strickly for netbooks but it is the default unless the video driver is not installed [10:15] which do you prefer? [10:15] moltendorf, omg.. [10:15] visual1ce, classic gnome [10:15] High_Priest: ? [10:15] is gnome 3 beta or? [10:15] moltendorf, locked up just because of the domain change? [10:15] that shouldn't happen [10:15] visual1ce, the net book edition uses "global menu" which is not a good idea on large screens or dual monitor setups [10:15] High_Priest: no, the router got more and more overloaded with local dns enabled. [10:16] global menu? [10:16] moltendorf, anyway, you are back to hosts or dns if its a no go via router [10:16] visual1ce, mac like menuing system [10:16] High_Priest, I can set up the mac as a dns server. [10:16] not familiar... do you mean that row of buttons down the bottom? [10:16] High_Priest (which is the server in question -- moltx-mac running Ubuntu Server 10.10) [10:17] moltendorf, whatever you find suitable.. it's your environment. [10:17] visual1ce, you can google global manu and ubuntu natty unity and watch a vew videos about them [10:17] High_Priest, any good dns servers you would recommend? [10:17] moltendorf, yeah, I realized that.. hostname is pretty much self-explanatory :) [10:17] visual1ce, and if you want more information about ubuntu 11.04 you need to go to the #ubuntu+1 channel :) [10:17] well im going to try it out soon so... [10:20] moltendorf, sorry, no.. but you can google it for sure [10:21] so how is this software actually free?!? [10:21] maybe its a massive spyware conspiracy :P [10:22] visual1ce, no its the linux basic phylosophy and most certainly ubuntu's with an enormous community of people both developers and users [10:22] Where can I find a definition of the 9 timings displayed in EtherApe > File > Preferences > Timings? === tipi is now known as Guest63531 [10:23] bullgard, I have not used that application...maybe someone else here has [10:24] bullgard, I would assume that it has a .conf file somewhere [10:24] High_Priest, still there? [10:24] moltendorf, yeap [10:26] natty is in beta or still alpha stage? [10:26] hi [10:27] Sleepwalker: Still Alpha from memory, you can double check in #ubuntu+1 though if you need to [10:28] Sleepwalker: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [10:28] Sleepwalker, it is in alpha 3 at the moment [10:28] How can VLC read a video stream delivering continuously a jpeg image (http://user:pwd@myip/image.jpg) ? [10:29] are they on target for april release? [10:29] visual1ce, as far as I know ...yes [10:29] thx guys. c ya [10:30] just checked out mark shuttleworth's page - turns out i spent a year at the same high school he attended [10:30] small world [10:31] maxagax: Do you mean a Motion JPEG stream? Or is this something else? [10:31] callaghan: it perhaps a motion jpeg stream, I'm not sure === k is now known as Guest40924 [10:33] callaghan: how to know for sure that it is a motion jpeg stream ? [10:33] how can he be so rich if canonical doesn't make money [10:33] ? [10:34] I have a problem with icedtea6-plugin... it wont install in the update... does anyone had the same problem? [10:34] I heard it was a bug [10:34] maxagax: If it's a Motion JPEG stream (I honestly have no idea how to check if it is) vlc should be able to play it with Video 4 Linux... [10:35] maxagax: If you can open the stream in Firefox or Chrome it's probably MJPEG ;) [10:37] hi [10:37] hi [10:37] maxagax: the only thing I found which might help is: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82200 [10:37] in natty, i am supposed to be able to resize the dash, but how do i do that? [10:38] alexanbj, its best to go tot he #ubuntu+1 channel for natty support :) [10:38] hello [10:38] I've an error and I don't know what it means [10:38] I can't find any answer on search engines [10:39] debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Noninteractive [10:39] debconf: (syntax error at (eval 19) line 3, near "Debconf::FrontEnd:: Noninteractive") [10:39] debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive [10:39] hi [10:39] :-D [10:39] A_I_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:40] i would like to share your experience regarding data storage on ubuntu and linux in general. [10:40] in fact i'm using ubuntu on some embedded target, i have an external SD card holding some navigation database (arround 4Gbytes) [10:40] coz_: yeah sure =) [10:40] This database contain a huge number of small files, for instance i read/load them directly using standard c++ I/O functions. [10:40] cool [10:40] As expected loading ressources in this way is too heavy and introduces lot or performances overhead. [10:41] can I upgrade from python 3.1 to python 3.2 with the development packages on ubuntu 10.10 without upgrading to "natty" [10:41] I'm looking for something like tar (any archiver) but indexed with seek possibility. Any one have an idea ? i have found etar itar but cant reach they main webpages [10:41] ohmy, mm you could look for a ppa .. if you install Y-ppa-manager it would be easy...

[10:58] openbees, are you connected to internet? [10:58] anyone ? [10:58] openbees: i think. that your internet connection [10:59] Hi everyone. Has anyone heard of this? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx - Firefox Flash Plugin crashed randomly, but works when page es reloaded. [10:59] dr0id, it's a common thing, if your connection is unstable then it will time out sometimes [10:59] dr0id, happens to me all the time [10:59] i am still getting error while i am connected to internet [10:59] it doesn't happens when I am on my laptop [10:59] My computer freezes when I watch youtube sometimes. Or other web-based video. [10:59] though laptop is on a different ISP [10:59] It happends very randomly. [10:59] dr0id, compared to what? [10:59] It happend in windows7, windows xp and now in ubuntu 64bit [11:00] Amoz: eh ? [11:00] dr0id, it works on your laptop you say. What does it not work on then [11:00] ?* [11:00] the PC [11:00] the monitor gets stuck at the current frame, and the audio starts to loop the last 0.1seconds of audio, very loud and corrupted. [11:00] from which I am on IRC right now [11:00] amoz blackshirt???? [11:00] I suspect it is some hardware error, but I can't figure out why it only effects streaming video... [11:01] frimend, checked your RAM lately? [11:01] I have runned memtest, did not find anything. [11:01] openbees, apprently you can't resolve adresses [11:01] I didn't run it overnight though, just a few hours. [11:01] Amoz: Do you think this sounds like a RAM-related error? [11:02] Is there any perticular piece of hardware that I can rule out? [11:02] frimend, you tried different OS', probably you can rule out the HDDs, ODD [11:03] openbees, can you ping for example, google.com? [11:03] odd? [11:03] frimend, optical disk drives [11:03] frimend: to me it sounds like a problem with your graphics card... since it happens on different os', it has something to do with hardware, maybe even a temperature problem [11:04] I have tried touching it after, neither ram, gpu or cpu is especially hot. [11:05] can the cpu / motherboard be the error? [11:05] or is ram/graphics card much more likely? [11:06] frimend: I even had one case of a bad PSU that caused the graphics card to black out randomly, causing in a computer crash [11:06] ok [11:06] It's annoying that it's such a random error, very hard to find. [11:07] I can watch hours of video without a problem at times. [11:07] frimend: you can never be sure unless you replace one piece after the other and see if that did it... [11:08] Hi === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:09] Could anyone suggests good documentation for developing indicator applications?

I was wondering if someone could answer a simple question for me. I just installed ubuntu 1010 x64. I have nvidia 9500 GT.

[12:57] לפני שני [12:57] Hi guys - trying to mount an NFS share with pretty default values - get "mount(2) invalid argument" [12:57] dkam: Which arguments do you give to mount? [12:57] give me a women after midnight [12:58] rofl [12:58] lol [12:58] Fjodor: mount -t nfs :/path /local/path -v [12:58] jeez [12:58] I really wish i could figure out if the overclocking of my GPU will carry over from Win7 to ubuntu dual booted. From what i've heard, some methods flash the bios on the card itself, which i would think should most definately carry over. [12:58] mount.nfs: mount(2): Invalid argument [12:58] mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified [12:58] Fjodor: sudo naturally. [12:59] Fjodor: same options work on another host [12:59] i may then need to use the drivers from nvidia, since i can't find the specifics on the drivers downloaded from ubuntu. Another project. Yay! [12:59] dkam: -v just gives the version. I don't think that it accepts other options with -v [12:59] dkam: Sorry, wrong info [12:59] Fjodor: without -v I get mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified [12:59] theprototype: did you see if nvidia-settings gets you information about the card you want? [12:59] Fjodor: yeah - it's verbose [13:00] dkam: what are you actually typing? [13:00] sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/export/covers/ /var/www/booko.com.au/booko/public/images/covers/ [13:01] i can know everything about my card, even what i can overclock it up to without overheating or worrying about anything. Figuring out if it will cause issues under ubuntu is another deal. Haven't used nvidia-settings, but i've google searched the info and found people that used the software and had images. [13:01] dkam: Is nfs-common installed on the machine? [13:01] dkam: hmm... try dropping final '/' in the paths? [13:02] i installed a driver on linux but when i do modprobe name_of_driver, it says device not found, can it be because the device is not on the computer? [13:02] Fjodor: yep [13:02] jrib: no dice [13:03] bobo123: what sort of device? [13:03] dkam: does it work if you don't pass "-t nfs" explicitly? [13:04] Dr_Willis, i'm not sure, a friend of mine told me can you try to install this driver on linux, i said i will try i made, make ,make install, everything went ok, but when i do modprobe i get device not found [13:04] jrib: no - nor if I run mount.nfs === brian is now known as Guest69259 [13:05] dkam: Hmmm, and both dirs actually exist? [13:05] I have a dilemma, firefox displays right in xp, but not in ubuntu, what is it missing, some pages don't display properly [13:05] bobo123: what gives device not found? modprobe? the module may be working fine then. its seeing its not there and sayiong so... [13:05] from where can i add or delete programs shortcuts at the applications bar ? [13:05] Dr_Willis, yes when i do modprobe name_of_module [13:05] deca: the alacarte menu editor program can let you edit the menus. or right click on themenu i think.. [13:06] deca: Right-clicking on the menu should have an edit option [13:06] Fjodor: yep - file reports the target is a direcotry [13:06] bobo123: makes sence to m e it would say somthing about the hardware not being there. [13:06] but i'm sure that the .ko file is in /kernel/drivers/misc [13:06] dkam: And your machine is on the 192.168.1.0 subnet? [13:06] Dr_Willis, ok, than i should make any further thoughts, looks like i finished my job [13:06] Dr_Willis thank u but with right click only let me add shortcut to the main panel [13:08] deca: open the applicatuions menu, right click in there.. or just run 'alacarte' if you wan tto edit your menus.. (its the same program both ways) [13:08] Dr_Willis ok i have it [13:08] right click [13:08] thanks [13:08] Fjodor: It's a linode's private address - it's pingable [13:08] 'the other right....' :P [13:08] dkam: Then I'm stumped, unfortunately :-( [13:08] Fjodor: (It's not actually 192.168.1.1) [13:09] dkam: Oki [13:09] Fjodor: Are there different nfs clients? [13:09] Fjodor: I'm using nfs-client [13:09] dkam: There are different versions. I think 3 and 4 are both in use... === ericm-dinner is now known as ericm|ubuntu [13:10] Fjodor: client reports 3 is not support, 4 returns the incorrect mount option [13:10] Try with -t nfs4, perhaps then? [13:11] Fjodor: mount.nfs4: no such device. Weird error. [13:12] dkam: with -v, the full output is just that one line "mount(2) invalid argument"? === Guest75105 is now known as DarkDevil [13:14] jrib: https://gist.github.com/c85b36ce04ccac505b8f [13:14] juten tach [13:14] dkam: looks like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568288, there's a workaround with adding -o nfsversionblahblah in there === DarkDevil is now known as Guest31788 === dmart_ is now known as dmart [13:15] * theprototype on phone with Nvidia tech support to answer previous question (it was free) [13:15] dkam: Try lsmod|grep nfs and see if the module is actually loaded [13:16] Fjodor: Ahhaha! No nfs module [13:16] dkam: ;-) [13:16] Fjodor: Ahh. Well - neither does the other host. [13:16] Fjodor: must be built into the linode kernel === dmart_ is now known as dmart [13:17] jrib: adding "-o nfsvers-3" or "-o nfsvers-4" doesn't help [13:17] jrib: it is correctly parsed though because -v displays it [13:17] dkam: Possibly, but try sudo modprobe nfs on the client. Also be aware that : defaults to :/export with v4 [13:18] Fjodor: module not found [13:18] dkam: '=', not '-' [13:18] dkam: Ok, that's weird [13:19] dkam: Custom kernel or something? [13:19] Fjodor: Linode kernel [13:19] dkam: On the client? [13:19] Yeah [13:19] And server [13:19] Its official. People at nvidia have no knowledge of anything related to computers or graphics. [13:20] lol [13:20] lol [13:20] atleast the outsourced tech support they provided doesn't. [13:20] Fjodor: and both clients have the same kernel. I must be missing something erhere [13:21] dkam: http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=5549 perhaps? [13:22] dkam: Seems the kernel has v3 built in but no v4 support [13:23] Fjodor: yeah - good point. [13:23] So - I need a v3 client [13:23] dkam: not sure if you missed it, you need to use nfsvers=3, not nfsvers-3 [13:24] jrib: that certainly does give a different error... [13:24] dkam: ha [13:24] where can i see my graphics driver? [13:25] No I get teh portmap kind of error. Plus: mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported [13:25] hmm.. the version of Quanta Plus in the repos is 3.5.10, is there a newer version using qt4? [13:26] dkam: I have very limited experience with nfs so I think I'll leave you to jrib [13:26] Hi. Im having some problem that is preventing me from going in to the world of linux fulltime. Since I'm a pretty big CS player I need to use an anti-cheat called EAC. However I have no way of making this work in wine. For my programming I use virtualbox. Could I possibly do the same with this? (You get banned if eac fails to authenticate thats why I havent simply tried it) [13:26] anyone can help me with some advice about a forum that was and is constantly flooded? [13:26] Fjodor, dkam: I have 0 experience with nfs [13:27] Fjodor: thanks - error has now moved to portmap permissions on the server! So getting somewhere [13:27] jrib: Ok, but I also need to get going and you seemed to have some points ;-) [13:28] Fjodor: sure, I'll be around a bit more [13:28] jrib: :-) [13:30] jrib: Humiliation. 1. /etc/hosts.allow on the server wasn't configured with the host. 2. had to force version 3 - even though the other client doesn't require that. [13:31] jrib: but - original client is Ubuntu 10.04 and new client is 10.10 [13:31] jrib: so - the default must have changed. [13:31] jrib: thanks for your help [13:31] dkam: maybe default nfs version changed [13:31] Fjodor: thanks for your help [13:31] jrib: I guess it must have.

If EAC runs on Windows, there is no reason to believe it won't run on Virtualbox with that same OS installed.

[13:33] [segfault]: Yes I know that much=) I failed pretty hard in my description of the problem though. I need to make it work with cs1.6. The actual anti cheat takes pictures and uploads them from my game and I would imagine it also do system checks as well as dlls [13:33] Hi! I have very serious problem: i've had encrypted home directory. After i've disable to require enter password on logout, after reboot, when I log in to my account, it was decrypted :/ [13:34] some errors that there is no access to some files of my home directory appeard [13:34] but i've had access to console, so i've tried to turn of it [13:34] so i've deleted ~/.ecryptfs [13:34] and now i can't event there encrypt my home dir :/ [13:34] ljsoftnet, lspci -nn | grep VGA [13:34] ljsoftnet: Have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:34] <[segfault]> eltese: well the os doesn't know that its running a VM. Unless EAC has some BIOS checks or something to determine if it is running under VB, I don't see that it will have any problem taking screenshots, etc. [13:35] i have had there very important data [13:35] kontagious: That's the card, not the driver, isn't it? [13:35] sorry my bad [13:35] if I've deleted .ecryptfs, my home dir is lost? :/ [13:35] PhoenixSTF: well default umask isn't 077, so you should make sure that's the issue first. You can check a user's umask by running « umask » [13:35] ubuntu_, why did you deleted ~/.ecryptfs ? [13:36] jrib: ty :) [13:36] OerHeks, when i was running my ubuntu, some errors appears, and in console i was able to decrypt it via ecrypt-mount-private [13:36] but i couldnt run my ubuntu normally, i've had only wallpaper [13:37] my only rescue was CTRL+ALT+T [13:37] [segfault]: nope, but that will require me to actually run 1.6 from vb as well right? [13:37] so, in order to turn off that stupid encrypting, i've just deleted ~/.ecryptfs [13:37] becouse i found in some ubuntu forum that it is a way to turn off it [13:38] So, Is there any way to rescue my home dir? [13:38] i'm talking now from live cd [13:38] ubuntu_: join #ecryptfs [13:38] <[segfault]> eltese: You should run everything the same way you would if you were on a Windows box, just do it in VM. If it is that important to you, I recommend asking the EAC folks on their website. I do know that some virus writers do checks like this to check for a virtual environment.

[13:40] v3ctor, but this is releated to ubuntu, i've checked 'encrypt home directory' while installing, and now, after a few months, after turning off requiring to enter password, that broke my system [13:40] and now I haven't even access to my home dir [13:40] Hey what's up guys. I currently run a lab with 16 pc's and a 2008 R2 Windows server hosting Active Directory. I wanted to integrate a ubuntu server for the sole purpose of introducing CUPs with Active directory integration. The reason being why I wanted to go down this route is because I can't find a free solution to password protect printing from the workstations. I've heard people are able to do it with CUPS.

[14:27] they are on red [14:27] ubuntu_: how did you delete? Using nautilus? [14:27] no, console [14:27] rm [14:27] ubuntu_: what did you execute exactly? [14:27] kothaguy_ubuntu, do what ROsmanov said, df -h [14:27] in your terminal [14:28] to find out the mountpoints [14:28] rm -r .ecryptfs [14:28] kothaguy_ubuntu, /dev/sda3 is a device that should be mounted to a folder on filesystem [14:28] kothaguy_ubuntu: mount point is some (usually empty) directory. Create one with « sudo mkdir /media/mynewshinymountpoint » and then use that [14:28] !mount [14:28] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[14:30] i don't know [14:30] nn102400: i've never used network manager before, so i was just wondering if it was safe to remove it [14:31] if ubuntu isnt doing them automatically, then no [14:31] why should ubuntu do them?

[14:36] kothaguy_ubuntu: you can do « mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 » but you have to create /media/sda1 first. To create /media/sda1, you do « mkdir /media/sda1 » [14:37] duckstar, if it doesn't play in mplayer its most likely un-supported. mplayer has been able to play anything I have thrown at it. If it can play it, its most likely a bad encoding. [14:37] yer [14:37] duckstar, *if it can't play it, its a bad encoding [14:37] sup peeps! [14:38] hello. why i can't save passwords on FireFox ? [14:38] mix22891: why doesn't it save? [14:38] nn102400, Thanks for the reply. I got the file from somewhere that confirms its working. When i try and play the file using the mplayer test.mkv command it starts loading the file and then says Seek failed. [14:38] kothaguy_ubuntu, for instance, make folder: mkdir /media/my_folder. Then add a line to /etc/fstab like UUID=/dev/sda1 /backup ext4 defaults 0 0 .... and mount it: sudo mount -a [14:39] yes [14:39] kothaguy_ubuntu, sorry I've an error in the fstab line. I'll post a sample for u ... wait a minute [14:39] nn102400, Also when trying to play it in XBMC it trys to play it as a audio file, but i think that is because XBMC does not support VC-1 [14:39] mix22891: so.. it doesn't save when you press Remember password? [14:39] ROsmanov, :ok [14:39] yes [14:40] mix22891: is it not in preferences > security > saved passwords? [14:40] I have also installed the non-free codecs... i think... [14:40] <[TK]D-Fender> mix22891: Ar you clearing them on exit, etc perhaps in your security opitons..... [14:41] duckstar, in my experience if it says seek failed it normally means that its a incomplete file. [14:41] duckstar, xbmc is ok but try using vlc on it's own, if the media won't play then the codec is probly corrupted [14:41] Hello. I have some eps files created in matlab. I need to submit these to a journal, but in order to do this i need to somehow embed the fonts in the eps. how can i do this? [14:41] duckstar, or its missing some sort of important headder [14:41] Ok. Thanks for your help. I might try redownloading it. To be honest i did have alot of trouble extracting it [14:41] thank you! [14:41] :) [14:42] nn102400, ,bluekaJ But don't worry the questions dont end there.. [14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: Isn't the point of EPS that the fonts are already embedded? [14:42] ROsmanov, :i got it,i just typed gksudo nautilus,and opened the .media/sda3 folder,and opened the properties and given them permission..it is working now,now i can do copy/paste...Thank you for your time [14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: thats the "Encapsulated" part last I heard [14:42] ROsmanov, :sorry /media/sda3 [14:42] [TK]D-Fender, well, it not [14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: Interesting.. [14:43] help plz: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [14:43] [TK]D-Fender, otherwise i could publish it without problem...but the fonts are not embedded [14:43] not ubuntu related but can anyone tell me how can i find files with non-ascii characters in their filename and remove them, i can find them with find . -type d | grep -P '[^ -~\n]' but when trying to do xargs rm then the filenames are escaped and it doesn't work? or tell mer where should i ask these kind of questions :) [14:43] teweWork: #bash would be the best place imo. [14:44] teweWork, you're probably just missing the right combination of single and double quotes but i dunno [14:44] CiSense, looks like your missing a major compression library. -- Which program causes the error ? [14:44] kothaguy_ubuntu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/577475/ [14:44] Ok. Not that it bothers me, but mplayer or vlc can't play any .mkv files without being really choppy. But XBMC is fine with them ?

I have tried Tight VNC and Real VNC, I don't think Putty has a GUI with it though. The GUI is what I am interested in. I know that Putty tunnels though. [14:45] my linux is ubuntu 9.04 [14:45] kothaguy_ubuntu, I already had /dev/sdb1 mounted on /backup [14:46] Curly_Q: tunnel vnc over a putty ssh connection [14:46] ROsmanov, :today i am facing several issues,i am unable to open an ubuntu related sites in my browser,like launchpad,ubuntuforums.org ,but i can open other sites like google,facebook,rediff ,i tried on difeerent browsers,but i am unable to do,i deleted the browsing history,cache also,what to do?

What are the advantages with tunneling with Putty? [14:47] wl46683390 [14:47] see above link [14:47] kothaguy_ubuntu, what stuff your browser outputs? [14:47] teweWork: use rm -- [14:47] CiSense, Open terminal --> run "sudo apt-get install zlib1g" [14:47] Sorry correction. VLC stutters trying to play 1080p from a mounted NAS drive. Its fine on WMV and avi [14:47] nn102400, ta [14:48] kothaguy_ubuntu, 404 Not Found, Server Not Found ...? [14:48] Curly_Q: encryption of the connection. [14:48] nn102400, zlib1g is already the newest version. [14:48] Greppy that brings me to another question, can tunneling be used to surf the net with a Proxy server and are there proxy servers out there that are free? [14:49] duckstar, I have played 1080p mkv files .. They work fine but use a bit of cpu. You really need a fast computer to keep up with the codec [14:49] ROsmanov, :it is stating oops,google chrome cant found, in mozilla,it is problem loading page [14:50] ROsmanov, but i can open any other sites,whats going wrong with these sites for me? [14:50] Curly_Q: yes, and yes, but I don't have details on any open proxys [14:50] Maddeth, thanks for the heads up on Xming or varients. I am looking at that now. [14:50] v3ctor: thx, and how can i copy them? [14:50] Thanks Greppy. [14:50] Curly_Q, no worries, also for proxying look into the TOR project [14:51] CiSense, run "sudo apt-get --reinstall install zlib1g" [14:51] kothaguy_ubuntu, try to open in anonymizer [14:51] nn102400, Surely it would be some sort of codec problem if they work fine in xbmc ? [14:51] How do I get identd running on my laptop? I installed pidentd through Synaptic and then tried to connect to an IRC server and it says I need to run identd [14:51] Is there anyway to check in linux what ide channels your HDs are using? My bios lists that info only when in IDE (not SATA) mode, and I suspect that one of my data drives shares a chan (if that's the correct term) with the boot drive. [14:51] teweWork: i have not done that, i have only ever removed them [14:51] nn102400, i run XBMC in the same session, not in its only session [14:51] Greppy, thanks for that link. I just bookmarked it. :) [14:51] duckstar, most likely btw where are you getting these videos from anyway [14:51] wl46683390_, why did you try sending me a picture? [14:51] ROsmanov, :what is that anonymizer,the other thing is i cant even update using update manager,they are showing errors in fetching?

[14:52] does anyone know what it is that makes gdm in ubuntu (10.04 in my case) be in clone mode right out of the box when using dual-head? i'm trying to enforce this in a different environment (where it likes to use extended-span mode) [14:52] nn102400, I get them from Usenet [14:52] kothaguy_ubuntu, http://wellkin.info/ano/ [14:52] Ascavasaion: the IRC server needs to be able to make the connection to your machine running identd (TCP/113). So if you are behind NAT, and not port forwarding TCP/113, it won't work. [14:52] ROsmanov, :i cant paste in pastebin also [14:52] Pumpkin-: So in Firestarter I should open port 113? [14:53] kothaguy_ubuntu, maybe a proxy or even ISP block connections to those sites [14:53] duckstar, its possible that the format is just messed up on thoes piticular files. [14:53] I got a lot of content from rolly.com .. All there mkv formats worked fine. [14:54] Can anyone help me w/ Ubuntu on a CR-48? [14:54] I don't know firestarter, but yes, the IRC server needs to be able to connect to you on TCP/113 [14:54] kothaguy_ubuntu, does http://wellkin.info/ano/ open some of the sites? [14:54] who is know hack [14:54] (and that includes getting past your NAT if you have NAT) [14:55] !hack | root_ [14:55] kothaguy_ubuntu, it could be also your firewall [14:55] Pumpkin-: Okay, I allowed all connections through 113 [14:55] When I use Synaptic or apt-get I get a huge list of errors, all referring to dpkg file lists being missing: "assuming package has no files installed". This means that when I try to apt-get remove a package, the files are not removed because dpkg doesn't know about them! Is there a way to "rebuild" the list of files? [14:55] ROsmanov, :i am trying,one minute [14:56] root_, no hacking here [14:56] nn102400, i am just testing between all the vieo files i have. It seems any 720p or under works fine in vlc but anything 1080p isn't. In XBMC everything plays. Is there a cache setting that is maybe choking me ? since i am streaming these off mount NAS drives [14:57] duckstar, alright .. try mplayer -cache 80000 /path/to/file [14:57] ROsmanov, :yes they are opening in that browser,i dont know till evening i am browsing the sites,i disabled firewall,wait i will check and tell you [14:57] !! [14:57] Pumpkin-: Never worked :( [14:57] duckstar, I stream 1080p off of NFS and it works fine .. usually 1 to 2 MB/s though of data [14:59] ROsmanov, :now also i am uanble to open in my browser,in anonymous i can open,why it is happening,does my isp blocked these sites? === kornel is now known as Ibowi [15:00] kothaguy_ubuntu, hmm. It could be a firewall on a proxy... R U using a proxy? [15:00] does anyone feel ubuntu netbook GUI is slow ?

It looks very attractive. [15:02] ROsmanov, no,till evening i am using those sites,i just run an clamtk scan,while running at that time,i am unable to do that,any link between clamtk scanner and these sites/ [15:02] Xming is a windows tool, sorry I may have got confused as to what you were trying to do :) [15:02] @ Curly_Q ^ [15:02] nn102400, Takes ages to type the paths. is there some sort of auto fill ? like type the first part in then let the terminal autofill ? [15:02] Maddeth I am glad you mentioned it. I am very curious about Xming. [15:02] Xming is a window manager ? [15:03] Anyway I find the Ubuntu netbook gui is slow [15:03] hi guys [15:03] duckstar, tab and dubble tab [15:03] nishant, xming is an Xserver that runs on windows [15:03] Phong_, hello [15:03] nn102400, Cheers. Nope its still laggy [15:03] i have off topic question what is it meant by : Recovery Audit Expert [15:03] nn102400, Less Laggy.. [15:03] Right [15:03] Is Xming a VMware application? [15:03] duckstar, tab fills in ... dubble tab lists everything int that directory that is under the characters you already have down [15:04] nishant: Aye, I found that Ubuntu Desktop ran better on my eeepc than Ubuntu Netbook. [15:04] Curly_Q, What is a VMware application? VMware runs virtual machines, not applications. xming is an Xserver that runs on windows [15:05] Exactly I find the Netbook GUI needs to be re designed for speed , jfcaron , do you have any suggestions for power saving ? [15:05] duckstar, my experience is that broken formats usually spit out a lot of junk on the terminal about broken crc or somthing like that .. and dont play right with a lot of skips and glitches === nyx0 is now known as nyx0_ [15:05] Edbian, sorry for the confusion. So Xming is an application that is not an OS but runs on top of Windows. Thanks for that info. [15:05] kothaguy_ubuntu, I have never used clamtk/clamav. I guess clamav blocks connections. I'd turn it to scan on-demand, since IMHO Ubuntu is safe enough to get rid of antiviruses, until U don't send something to Windows users(U'd probably need clamav just to check emails to forward emails ...) [15:05] duckstar, if its not the format try the -frameskip option to speed up the sound. [15:05] Curly_Q, that is right. No worries :) [15:05] I learned something new today. Thanks. [15:05] Curly_Q, sorry for confusing you [15:06] Maddeth, you enlightened me immensely. Thanks for the confusion. hehe [15:06] Hi [15:06] hi [15:06] ps aux and /usr/bin/python use 46% cpu that freeze my pc is there a bug or something or solution ? [15:06] is there a debug window while installing Ubuntu OS ? [15:07] kothaguy_ubuntu, personally, I don't have antiviruses at all. Gmail does basic scans for me ;) I just try to keep FS permissions and firewall settings right [15:07] ROsmanov, : i am purely using ubuntu,i dont have any windows in my laptop,i installed it because,all my frnds r windows users,when they insert their usbs into mine,i thought i would get viruses,thats y i installed it [15:08] kothaguy_ubuntu, windows viruses are nothing for Ubuntu [15:08] nishant: Nothing specifically, I found that I mostly use my netbook while it is plugged in, so power isn't an issue for me. Apparently Leeenux (which I use - Ubuntu variant) does have extra power-related stuff though. [15:08] ROsmanov, ,can i remove that clamtk? [15:09] kothaguy_ubuntu, I think yes. I'd remove it [15:09] ROsmanov, :ok,thank you [15:09] searching, what application your running [15:09] Leenux right will chek out . [15:09] kothaguy_ubuntu, however, not fact that just clamav blocks connections [15:10] Firefox [15:10] so you dont use the netbook GUI any more jfcaron ? have you changed to desktop ? [15:10] ubuntu 10.10 [15:11] nishant: Indeed, just regular gnome-desktop is faster and more useful than the netbook GUI for me. [15:12] Question - Using an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain, I somehow managed to change my default terminal to sh. I want it to be back to bash. I issued the chsh command to change it, but it failed because my domain user (obviously) does not reside in /etc/passwd. This is a problem because this happens on my account to EVERY Ubuntu computer on the domain. How can I fix it? [15:12] yes jfcaron thanks I was thinking the same and was wondeing why it had such a different GUI than desktop without much advantgae [15:12] kubuntu [15:13] nishant: The netbook GUI seems to be aimed at the "internet appliance" style of netbook user, who just wants one-click internets, but not much other functionality. It's also difficult to customize. [15:13] Roasted_, what about export SHELL=bash in ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile? [15:13] It [15:13] It's also slow === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-Zzz [15:13] I tried the Natty-desktop iso and the DVD ISO and had issues with both ISO's d/l'ed fresh iso's still same thing it freezes up when tring to run stuff open terminal then locks can't do nothing very buggy it seems also ran updates stopped while trying to update oh well it is alpaha 3 but still has issues not to happy about the new look i like old GNOME better just my opinion [15:14] R0smanov, uhh fill in the gaps there a little bit. Are you suggesting I add SHELL=bash at... what... the bottom of all 3 of those config files? [15:14] RIght yes , seems more cloud type of OS [15:14] ROsmanov, my bad that's an O not a 0. I was wondering why tab didnt complete your name. [15:14] Roasted_, no. add "export SHELL=bash in ~/.bashrc" [15:14] ROsmanov, okay. does it matter where within the file I add it? [15:15] Roasted_, append it to the end of file === Guest54052 is now known as DarkDevil [15:15] ROsmanov, I gotta log out and in as my domain user. Ill try it now. thanks. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest98037 [15:16] I'm on ubuntu 10.10 but want to use a Natty package (ntp). What's the best way to do this? [15:17] ROsmanov, didn't work. [15:17] after desktop loads seems fine then all off the borders window mangaer stops then locks me out of doing anything short of a cold reboot bummer [15:17] Roasted_, then "source ~/.bashrc" should change your default shell instantly. However, for instance, sshd can load ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or some other rc-file [15:17] ROsmanov, what I dont understand is how it triggers on WHEREVER my account logs in. [15:18] ROsmanov, I thought I could just delete the profile entry and I'd be good. But I logged on a different PC and it was still there. the sh is such a pita too when Im doing terminal. [15:18] fixxxermet: Maverick has the ntp packages as well, will that do? [15:19] Roasted_: you're using likewise open? [15:19] jrib, yes. [15:19] Roasted_, I'd quote "man bash": When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes [15:19] commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and [15:19] ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. [15:19] ROsmanov: isn't there an associated config file for likewise open where you can set users' shell? [15:20] jrib, the thing is, this changed after I ran a command in terminal under my domain user name. [15:20] Roasted_: what command? [15:20] jrib, I was testing out a command to mount my share to gvfs. I ran gvfs-mount smb://server/users/#() [15:20] guys is there an alternative to gyazio for ubuntu ? or at least something similar [15:20] jrib, and bam. all downhill from there. [15:20] jrib, the command was suggested to me by a user here, as #() was supposedly a wild card for whoever was actively logged in. [15:20] jrib, but it obviously went south on me [15:20] prodigy0987: I want the latest version, as it has some new options [15:21] jrib, ~/.profile should keep user's settings. Mine loads ~/.bashrc [15:21] fixxxermet: okie-doke, then you might be able to download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ntp and install it with 'dpkg -i' [15:21] ROsmanov: but by the time any of that is sourced, it's too late. The user already has a shell. No? [15:22] fixxxermet: if that doesn't work (due to dependencies or whatnot), i'd install from source [15:22] jrib, do you think what I did is reversible? === toto is now known as Guest52476 [15:22] Roasted_: well I don't see how it could possibly change the shell. But did you check if you've a setting for bash as users' shell in the config file for likewise open? [15:23] jrib, I'm not sure how I would have, as other domain users on likewise open do not exhibit the same issues. [15:23] jrib, its JUST my account, which is where I ran the command. [15:23] Roasted_: in any case, does the setting exist there? [15:23] jrib, within likewise open config? I'm not sure. I'm looking for it now. Do you by chance know where it resides? [15:24] no one ? :( [15:24] what is gyazio? [15:24] Roasted_: I found this mention: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569865 I'm not familiar with likwise open, but I assume lwconfig just modifies a config file somewhere. Or maybe you can query with lwconfig what current settings are [15:25] anubarack_, what does gyazio do? [15:25] Gyazo lets you instantly grab the screen and upload the image to the web [15:25] Roasted_: maybe this makes more sense to you than to me: http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#SetHomeDirAndShell [15:25] how do i close a PM tab with irssi? [15:25] ruan: /win close [15:25] /part didn't work [15:25] ruan: /window close [15:25] jpds: thanks [15:26] it's gyazo, my bad, and it lets you select a part of the screen (like sniping tool in win7) and it uploads to their site, giving you the url [15:26] to close a window, just do /wc [15:26] hi [15:26] Roasted_: here's someone modifying the lsassd.conf directly: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2010/06/how-to-configure-likewise-open-ad.html [15:27] I'm trying to install grub boot loader, but seem to be having trouble [15:27] Currently the error I'm getting is "not found or not a block device" [15:27] I'm trying to reinstall windows from a recovery partition [15:27] anubarack_, wait [15:27] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop that authenticates through ldap. GDM is keeping a list of previously logged in users. How do I clear that list? [15:28] ZacLnxNewb: Basically, running the windows recovery partition seems to format, kill the mbr, restart, and then I get a grub error [15:28] jrib, well so far the global "change everybody to bash" command failed. :( [15:28] jrib, looking over more of those links now. [15:28] So I'm trying to reinstall grub, but none of the google searches I've done have helped === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [15:28] AnubArack, there is a linux client @ http://gyazo.com/en [15:29] ZacLnxNewb, which version of Ubuntu are you running? [15:30] can i install a maverick package on karmic? [15:30] OerHeks, oh my bad :( when i did a google search i saw people asking about gyazo + wine so I thought it never had a linux version [15:30] mr_chris: I deleted and reconfigured all of my partitions [15:30] gandhijee, yes [15:30] mr_chris: I'm now using linux netbook live cd via a flash dri e [15:30] anubarack_, it needs imagemagic, and the download is just a script. [15:31] So you're trying to reinstall grub after deleting all of your partitions? Did you reinstall or did you just resize the partitions with gparted? [15:31] Does anyone know what FTP server comes preinstalled on ubuntu server 10.10 and how I can configure it, even though I only configured the server to work with ssh? [15:31] mr_chris: I just deleted and made new partitions with gparted, and I'm not sure I configured them correctly at that [15:31] prodigy0987: yeah, that didn't work due to dependencies. I'll have to compile from source. [15:31] moltendorf, you can use sftp as part of ssh [15:32] ZacLnkNewb: If that's the cased, you hosed your existing installation. You need to reinstall. [15:32] Roasted_: there seem to be mentions of a "template shell= /bin/bash" setting in smb.conf on google. So maybe check into that as well (since the command you issued involved samba). I'm not sure how things interact with likewise open, but just throwing things out there for you to check [15:32] Ah, so that explains sftp working but not regular ftp. [15:32] mr_chris: Alright, how long are you going to be on? [15:32] mr_chris: I'll be back shortly [15:32] jrib, nothing is working. wow. [15:32] jrib, why did I run that fn command. [15:33] Thanks, you just blew my mind (with an obvious statement), dang I'm tired. ^^ [15:33] So, if I have screen open, and I ssh into another machine, then do screen -dr (take over screen on next host), how do i get my keyboard ctrl+a,n to work for the deepest level of ssh [15:33] Roasted_: also, depending on whether you actually want to figure out how things work or whether you just want this thing to work because you have to do other things, you can just have sh point to bash... (sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash). It's not ideal, but if you have more important things to do... [15:33] hey, anyone able to give grub help? [15:34] jrib, I would like to understand what the hell happened as well as fixing it. I hate to just fix them without knowing what in the world happened. [15:34] anadon: dont ask to ask, just ask your question. if someone knows they will respond [15:34] anadon, ask [15:34] k, "update-grub" ignores my windows 7 installation [15:34] how do I fix that? [15:36] anadon, btw webmin is a good gui for that. U may add/modify grub entries there easily as well [15:36] Roasted_: http://www.likewise.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/932/#2787 there's some talk there about clearing cache after changing shell === lala is now known as Guest88808 [15:38] anadon, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036547 [15:38] jrib, I did that :( [15:38] jrib, let me read over it though [15:38] it costs only some seconds to google [15:39] jrib, Im also curious what user I have to be logged in as when I do those registry changes. [15:39] jrib, because I dont know how to set my domain user to have sudo rights, so I cant run sudo commands. So is local administrator on the ubuntu machine okay???? [15:40] Roasted_: your questions are my first exposure to likewise open, so don't know much. Do you know if these settings are stored in the user's home or in some other way? What are these .reg files that are always referred to? What does lwconfig actually do? [15:41] When I am using apt-get interactively, is there a way to direct the output to a file while still being able to tell it [Y/n] when it asks for confirmation? [15:41] mr_chris: Okay, I have 222 GB of hard drive space to allocate [15:41] jrib, I'm not sure what lwconfig does. I'm new to likewise open as well. I ran with it after I heard canonical recommends it for AD integration as we are flirting with introducing Ubuntu to "the wild" here at work. I do not believe settings are locally stored because I have deleted my profile dozens of times and logged into completely different computers with the exact same results, but again, only under MY username. [15:41] mr_chris: and there's a recovery partition containing my windows 7 recovery that I want to install [15:41] ZacLnkNewb: What is it you're trying to do? [15:41] jfcaron, sudo apt-get -y install >file.txt ? (just a guess) [15:42] mr_chris: Install a fresh install of windows 7 as the primary operating system, using the recovery partition [15:42] Roasted_, I didn't use likewise open. But for "sudo" rights in ubuntu user should be listed in /etc/sudoers [15:42] Roasted_: this last link http://www.likewise.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/932/#2787 has Jonathan suggesting su - root for the lwconfig command and then running lw-ad-cache delete-all "on the client" which I suppose means "as the normal user" [15:42] edbian: But that assumes that I will want to say yes to each query..I guess that's generally the case. [15:42] mr_chris: and after I get that work, I'm going to reinstall ubuntu netbook alongside it [15:42] ROsmanov, right, but I'm not sure how I add DOMAIN users to /etc/sudoers. Just DOMAIN\my_user?? [15:42] mr_chris: I currently have 222GB of unallocated space [15:42] jrib, I tried running su -.... but I keep getting uathentication failure. [15:42] ZacLnkNewb: When you deleted your partitions, did you also delete the Recovery partition or leave it intact? [15:43] jfcaron, If you don't want to then do this: sudo apt-get install >file.txt what gets saved? I've never tried it [15:43] Roasted_: do you know how to add users to groups? Should be able to just add them to the "admin" group. Sorry, when Jonathan says "su - root", on ubuntu, you can read that as "run with sudo" [15:43] mr_chris: I want to give 65 GB for the windows partition, 14 for ubuntu, and 1 GB for swap, and the rest will be "Storage" [15:43] jrib, it's not. It deletes the slash and makes it DOMAINmy_user [15:43] jfcaron, btw dpkg and apt keep logs in /var/log (they log everything you do using each of them respectively) [15:44] jfcaron, And since every package manager uses dpkg the dpkg log is a complete history of all package management [15:44] anubarack_, i am unable to search for that software. some day ago there was an articlce on that software in omgubuntu. but i forget its name. also omg site is down now. cant help [15:45] Roasted_: so you're trying http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#id2714877 and it doesn't work? [15:45] Abhijit, ty for your support ... i just downloaded Shutter [15:45] jrib, sec, I might have found how to add domain users as admins... [15:45] omg [15:45] it's more advanced but it gets the job done [15:45] anubarack_, thats the one i am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:45] :-D [15:45] how to edit linux registry? [15:45] b0ss8055: There isn't one. [15:45] b0ss8055, wtf? linux registry? [15:46] b0ss8055: what do you want to accomplish exactly? Why do you want to "edit linux registry"? [15:46] meybe he wants to edit wine registry [15:46] mr_chris: I understand this is a pain in the ass >.> [15:46] der s no regstry for linux? [15:46] no [15:46] b0ss8055: No. [15:46] Roasted_, http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#ConfigSudoers ? [15:46] ZacLnkNewb: You said "recovery partition". Did you leave that partition intact or delete it? [15:46] mr_chris: I left that intact [15:46] Still having problems with grub finding windows [15:46] uh [15:46] b0ss8055, are you having a problem youre trying to fix? [15:46] its fixed? [15:47] So you should have a recovery partition followed by your 222 GB of unallocated space, yes? [15:47] Roasted_: eh? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [15:47] jrib, I read online when I add domain users to sudoers, I need to use DOMAIN\\ instead of DOMAIN\ [15:47] mr_chris: it displays it as 222GB of unallocated space then followed by the partition, but yes [15:47] jrib, so I did, rebooted, and went into terminal, and my terminal prompt was normal. Oddly, I still dont have sudo rights. [15:48] Roasted_: heh... [15:48] b4 smedays i want to hide ntfs drives 4m ma desktop in ubuntu,i googld and found smethn wich is a subtitute for windws regstry in linux..it wrkd..nw i wnt to display drives in places on xubuntu [15:48] edbian: Then apt-get doesn't complete, and the file to which the output was directed contains the contents of the [Y/n] prompt. [15:48] jfcaron, Did you read what I said about the logs? Does that solve your problem? [15:48] jrib, I brought sudoers file back to default. rebooting my VM now. If it works, Ill also try it on my ubuntu laptop here for a final test. [15:48] jrib, now THAT is confusing... [15:49] edbian: Ah sorry, I read that after I typed my thing. Yes I think so. [15:49] jfcaron, no worries. Glad I could help! [15:49] So use gparted to make a 65gb ntfs partition, a 14GB ext4 partition, and a 1GB swap partition, and assign the rest as NTFS so you can read it both from Windows and Ubuntu. Then install windows, then install Ubuntu and manually tell it to use the 14GB partition as /. [15:49] mr_chris, and tell Ubuntu to use the swap. [15:49] wow! the new speedtest.net is so sexy <3 [15:49] jrib, worked again on VM when rebooted. Going to try my laptop now. I'll brb... [15:50] :http://www.ubuntu.com [15:50] edbian, ZacLnxNewb: Yes. Thanks. [15:50] mr_chris: How do I configure those paritions? I can only have two primary partitions [15:50] ZacLnxNewb, You are allowed 4 primary partitions. [15:50] hello i got ubuntu [15:50] ZacLnxNewb: You can always add them as logical partitions. [15:50] need help getting grub to recognize windows [15:50] azertyy, hi. Do you have a question about it? That's the purpose of this channel. [15:50] ubuntu is it for always problemer ? [15:50] edbian: It tells me two >.> [15:50] http://www.lapstore.de/ [15:51] every day i got a problem on my ubuntu system [15:51] ZacLnxNewb, But things in an extended partition. You can but as many partitions as you want inside an extended partition [15:51] ZacLnkNewb: This is assuming that you haven't changed the partition number of your recovery partition. If you have, it's unlikely that you'll be able to boot into it. [15:51] anadon, Have you tried sudo update-grub2? It searches for other OS's [15:51] http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/101/lang/x/kw/Notebooks_-Gebraucht_Lenovo_-_IBM-/ [15:51] ZacLnxNewb: Yes, what edbian said. [15:51] today is : this is what i got : i can't able to ssh to my system [15:52] mr_chris: I haven't touched the other recovery partition [15:52] this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [15:52] daniel@60-234-251-152.bitstream.orcon.net.nz [15:52] edbian --command doesn't exist [15:52] mati_: Are you asking us a question? [15:52] ZacLnkNewb: Then you should be ok. [15:52] what i have to do ? [15:52] anadon, sudo update-grub [15:52] edbian: did it [15:52] anadon, Apparently Ubuntu doesn't make the distinction between grub and grub2 anymore. [15:52] anadon, Did it work? [15:52] edbian: nope... [15:53] mr_chris: Before, I was able to access the recovery partition, but it seems to kill the grub boot loader before restarting, then I get an error "invalid file system" "grub rescue" [15:53] anadon, What did it output? Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l for me? [15:53] edbian: starting to wonder if in recovering ubuntu it killled windows [15:53] speaking of GRUB how can i reduce the timer on the screen after I select Ubuntu ? (the one with the curent kernel, recovery for it, previous kernel, recover of that) [15:53] anadon, That's what I'm checking with fdisk -l :) [15:53] That's why you install Linux and Grub last. [15:53] Protected Object [15:53] edbian: what's pastebin? [15:53] ZacLnxNewb: You have another option if you don't want to fight with partitioning. Make all of the unallocated space NTFS, and install Ubuntu through Wubi. [15:53] mr_chris: But how do I start the windows 7 install? [15:54] hi all… query regarding inittab - is that really, fully replaced by upstart on Ubuntu (working with a 10.4LTS server) [15:54] !inittab | codebeaker [15:54] codebeaker: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:54] ZacLnkNewb: From the recovery partition. There is normally a shortcut key you have to press when you boot it. [15:54] anadon, Website that lets you temporarily put text on a website. www.pastebin.com [15:54] … seems strange that there's still rc.d, and upstart together, why are default packages not shipping with that? (thanks jrib) [15:54] ZacLnxNewb: It's vendor specific. [15:54] hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [15:54] anadon, pastebin.com is a site where you can share code, or any large amount of text (via Paste-ing) [15:54] wt 2 od ? [15:54] Netzwerk-Zeitüberschreitung [15:54] codebeaker: upstart runs sysv-init scripts so as not to break packages that haven't been upgraded yet [15:55] mr_chris: That's not a good way to go. wubi is ok but you can not build a fully functioning linux system on ntfs or vfat [15:55] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop that authenticates through ldap. GDM is keeping a list of previously logged in users. How do I clear that list? [15:55] great to know [15:55] hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host whtat to do ? [15:55] ebbian: http://pastebin.com/vA42Btg8 [15:55] Pici: seems mati has a ctrl-v random issue [15:55] to that end jrib does it make sense to stop using cron, and use upstart's scheduled timers?

[15:56] mati [15:56] ZacLnkNewb: What kind of computer do you have? [15:56] anadon, That's ok. Alright update-grub didn't find windows. Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l so I can see it's there? [15:56] ibm t60 [15:56] hi [15:56] is there a page which lists the differences between ubuntu/debian/xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu? [15:56] !ot > mati_ [15:56] mati_, please see my private message [15:56] nx [15:56] edbian: you're talking to me? [15:56] codebeaker: I'd stick with cron personally for now though I think the intent is for upstart to eventually be able to replace cron (can it already?) === bbx_ is now known as xbb [15:57] ZacLnxNewb, No. I'm talking to anadon...

One is rather small, probably the recovery partition. The other is quite large, this must be your windows install. Now we need to make a file in grub. I'm going to look up a how to. [15:58] jrib, Im having a hard time understanding if the commands I issued fixed it or if the attempt to add to sudoers did it. But I doubt that had any bearing on it. [15:58] hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host whtat to do ? [15:58] edbian: thanks! [15:58] jrib, because I didnt even add my domain user to sudoers properly, as when I rebooted and logged in he had no sudo rights. [15:58] mr_chris: how do I boot into the recovery partition without a boot loader? [15:59] jrib, so me thinks it just took a minute to kick in after I issued the command [15:59] anadon, I'm reading. You should too. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 === a is now known as Guest23334 [15:59] jrib, either way, thanks for your help. I'll read over these links you sent me (got them saved) so I can learn more about it. [15:59] Roasted_: I would add the user to the admin group by editing /etc/group and adding the user as DOMAIN\username (that's what the likewise docs seem to recommend) [15:59] ZacLnkNewb: I'm trying to tell you. It is vendor specific. There is normally a shortcut key you have to press to launch it. What kind of computer do you have? [15:59] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: Unless your BIOS lets you pick it (it might), then you need a botoloader [15:59] hehe === Guest23334 is now known as seik [15:59] codebeaker: did you install an mta? [15:59] jrib, sounds good. I dont want my domain users to have admin rights, but I suppose its good to know how to do just in case. [15:59] mr_chris: it was F9 I think, not sure that works though [16:00] ZacLnxNewb: If you were messing with the partition map, you may have broke it. [16:00] mr_chris: [TK]D-Fender I'm going to go try it and see if it installs on the ntfs partition I just made [16:00] jrib: yeah, but I'm sure I remember (long time since I had to care about cron mails…) doesn't cron only deliver to the user's local mail spool, then you need a .forward file ? [16:00] have a good one jrib. on to the next problem. [16:00] mr_chris: I might've >.> [16:00] BBS, trying this [16:00] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: Bootloader isn't part of the partition.

[16:15] Guys any one knows what is alternative for VB scripts in xbuntu [16:15] [TK]D-Fender, I don't have /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ .... futher I could go was /usr/lib/X11/ [16:16] <[TK]D-Fender> anubarack_: You may have to drill a tiny bit for the exact proper place but yuo can see the general idea there [16:16] lyceumlab13: You mean an alterantive language to use? or a way to emulate vb in linux? [16:16] !scp === Guest98037 is now known as DarkDevil [16:16] scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [16:16] i can ... but this is like my second day on linux ... so I'll not risk experimenting === DarkDevil is now known as Guest26569 [16:16] now, thanks to all =) [16:17] anubarack_, setup a VM or take an image from your disk (clonezilla is free) [16:17] anubarack_, always risk experimenting!!!! :) [16:17] How do I find out what gpu I have? [16:17] lyceumlab13: Are you looking for something that will run VB scripts? Or something that's an alternative to VB scripts? [16:17] Normally for learning VBscripts in Browser but Firefox is not executing so have to got idea what to do? [16:17] lyceumlab13: visual basic? [16:17] frimend, you can get some specs via lspci and google further [16:17] yes [16:18] lyceumlab13, vbscript = IE [16:18] yes [16:18] use ECMA [16:18] bl4ckcomb: I don't really know what to filter on, at the lspci output. :) [16:18] lyceumlab13: VB scripts won't work on Linux, as it's a Microsoft only technology. [16:18] ok buddy [16:18] Where is my "Places" menu stored on disk? Somehow it has been corrupted, where whenever I click on anything in it, it tries to open it in Totem. [16:18] I tried nvidia and ati and amd, there was no nvidia or amd, and ati got catched by thousands of lines. [16:18] frimend, try $ lspci | grep VGA [16:18] BUT many thanks [16:18] You'd either need to convert what you're doing into something like Javascript, or, run Windows in a Virtualbox session under Linux. [16:19] (But when I click on the same location from my desktop, it works fine) [16:19] bl4ckcomb: aaah, vga! :D [16:19] nice, found it, thanks mate. ;) [16:19] jrtayloriv: You set the default 'open with..' item for folders to be yoru video player some how oerhaps.. Ive sene some guides on fixing that issue. let me see if i can find it. [16:19] Dr_Willis, But wouldn't that make it where when I open folders from my desktop, it would do the same thing (because it doesn't right now) [16:20] jigi [16:20] hi, i just installed virt-manager, but somehow there is an option missing to add a lvm storage. i can't see any option like this [16:21] https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/ubuntu-location-launchers-error-how-to-reset-gnome-panel-places-menu-launchers-to-open-with-nautilus/ [16:25] i cant find package from terminal [16:25] cutiyar: clarify what you mean. [16:26] cutiyar, which package ? [16:26] Dr_Willis, for example inkscape , eclipse .. etc [16:26] BluesKaj, inkscape , eclipse .. etc === jonas_ is now known as MrTux === Lynx is now known as lolwut === MrTux is now known as MrTuxU [16:27] cutiyar, make sure you have all your repos enable in software sources [16:27] cutiyar: apt-cache search PATTERN ... [16:27] err enabled [16:27] !info eclipse [16:27] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.2-6ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 35 kB, installed size 120 kB [16:27] eclipse is in the unuverse reposutory.. it seems. [16:27] !continuing grub issues not recognizing windows 7 [16:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:28] BluesKaj, how to enable? [16:28] anadon: dirty work around would be to add your own entry for your win7 in /etc/grub.d/41_custom [16:28] hello [16:28] anadon, sudo update-grub [16:28] update-grub2 [16:28] Dr_Willis, should terminal update take effect if i did update? [16:28] how can i add my windows 7 to grub [16:28] Dr_Willis: don't know how [16:28] custom entry. [16:28] anadon: is it even showing up in the grub boot menu [16:28] BluesKaj: did it [16:28] speedy: no [16:29] cutiyar: huh? sudo apt-get update, then apt-get search PATTERN [16:29] now reboot. and hope it works. [16:29] anadon: forums or grub docs may show an example entry for win7 that can work. or take one from someones grub.cfg that has it. [16:29] how can i add my windows 7 partition to grub [16:29] after adding a custom entry [16:29] Dr_Willis, Actually, it was the file->program associations that were screwed up. I had just assumed it wasn't since it worked fine from the desktop. Anyhow, thanks! [16:29] Dr_Willis, thansk worked [16:30] cutiyar, open software sources and click on canonical partners and other repos not enabled , except the cdrom [16:30] MrNoob: if sudo update-grub2 doesn't work, then you'll need to add a custom entry [16:30] its odd that grub2 is not seeing the windowes.. I imagine the forums/grub2 wiki may have some tips on making it see win7 [16:30] i've seen quite a few people with this issue [16:30] Dr_Willis: where?? [16:30] that worked i think [16:31] BluesKaj, all are enable except cdrom [16:31] So I uninstalled Gwibber.... now I tried to re-install it and it won't show up... I mean - notifications show up, but I can't actually open any application window. [16:31] cutiyar, have you updated? in the console , sudo apt-get update [16:32] anadon : boot to the grub menu hit e to edit and add it in find out what drive first like sda sdab etc... i could be wrong but mine is sda and its in my boot menu and works fine [16:32] BluesKaj, yes worked thanks [16:32] cutiyar, now, sudo apt-get upgrade [16:32] after u do that b sure to update-grub to c it [16:32] BluesKaj, why upgrade? [16:33] Does anyone here run a pure-ftpd-mysql server? I am trying to edit some of the arguments that the daemon starts with and I can't find the file to edit [16:33] cutiyar, that will upgrade any existing packages and make more packages available in your source repos [16:34] Hey guys.. It seems like my Fn+F1 wireless killswitch doesn't work, and it's currently set to "off", so I can't get the laptop online. Any ideas what to do? This bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/295216 kinda resembles mine, but I cannot find my DMI_VENDOR in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules.. Halp :s [16:34] Ubuntu bug 295216 in linux (Ubuntu) "Dell Mini 9 & Mini 12 Wireless toggle function key not connected" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:34] BluesKaj, aha ok thansk i will do it later because my internet not that good now [16:34] cutiyar, it doesn't upgrade the OS, just the packages you have installed [16:35] cmyrland: ive had to boot to windows.. turn on the switch then reboot back to linux. on some problem machines [16:35] BluesKaj, i know but i have 256 mb in update manager [16:35] Dr_Willis, I don't have Windows here :/ [16:35] cmyrland: No idea then. [16:35] and it should be possible to tell the computer that this is the killswitch [16:36] Hey guys, I installed UNR 10.10 on my netbook but I can't figure out how to connect to the internet through my wireless router. I've been trying since yesterday but the OS just won't show me the wireless networks. It's becoming urgent I get connected and would appreciate some help. [16:36] speedy: I know it's sda2 but I don't know how to make a custom entry with that [16:36] cmyrland: some of those 'switches' are actually buttons, not really switches.. there may be some kernel options or commands to force it on without the button [16:36] j/ ##PASTE [16:36] hey there, i know it sounds crazy but i want to give it a try [16:37] is it possible to install ubuntu on a gps navigator? [16:37] instead of win CE [16:37] while compiling the source by ./configure at last line it say "http://pastebin.com/TGUeSmtg" [16:38] Hello. What is the default behavior of the equal operator ? Is it the same as the copy constructor ? [16:38] vick: i think you've got the wrong channel :-) [16:38] is there a intel gma 3150 graphics driver: [16:38] Can anyone at all help me out? [16:38] vale: given the low specs... i would doubt it.. plus what cpu is the thing using. [16:38] sipior, Oh my bad. Thanks. [16:39] I think I'm in a bit of trouble. I made a big bash script with several hundred lines of "apt-get -y --reinstall install ", which is now running. Unfortunately it is taking a long time to process, and it's only about 15% through the lines, and I need to shut down the computer (leaving work with laptop, then getting on a plane). What is the safest way to stop this script from running, without causing problems from having interrupted [16:39] jfcaron: hit ctrl-c while its downloading a package. [16:39] Hey guys, I installed UNR 10.10 on my netbook but I can't figure out how to connect to the internet through my wireless router. I've been trying since yesterday but the OS just won't show me the wireless networks. It's becoming urgent I get connected and would appreciate some help. [16:39] Pici: What if I miss? [16:40] Dr_Willis, yeah, dmesg tells me that the key combo is uknown and says something about 0x6a, which I guess is the name of my F1 button [16:40] MisterTickles: does the 'addational drivers' tool suggest any other drivers for your wireless? [16:40] jfcaron: shut down the network interface, and the script will fail on its own [16:40] is there anyway to record sound without a soundcard ? [16:40] sipior: Good idea. [16:40] Dr_Willis: I'll try to find that additional drivers thing. I'm entirely new to Linux. === koolhead17 is now known as koolhead17|afk [16:41] Need help with grub here not reconizing win7 [16:41] i'd like pulse audio or alsa to create a virtual soundcard and i could use to make ffmpeg thinkgs there is one and then record sounds from it [16:41] Dr_Willis: When I click on the little ubuntu icon on the top left then search for additional drivers, I see two tools. One which's icon is a chip and a lock in front of it, the other which is a box with a ruler and other stuff in it. [16:41] sipior,pici: Thanks. [16:41] Which one am I supposed to use? They both have the same name. [16:42] MisterTickles: i dont use the netbook edition. so not sure what you are refering to. [16:42] MisterTickles: open terminal and run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' perhaps. :) [16:42] Okay. [16:43] MisterTickles:https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/connect-to-internet.html#wireless perhaps u get some hep [16:43] grub help, need to get windows 7 working [16:43] Dr_Willis: I did that, it prompted me for my pass which I put in and I got: Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available. [16:43] I am not even sure if this is the best IRC-channel for my questions. Where should I post questions on Ubuntu and ISPconfig 3? [16:44] I have a few USB drives, that I can't mount as a user. Only as root. I can then browse the drives as a user, but can't write to them. If I try to mount via nautilus, I get "Only root can mount /dev/sd* to /media/*" any ideas? [16:44] MisterTickles: i would connect a wired cable.. and let it check again. yoru wireless card may need addational drivers. [16:44] Okay Dr_Willis, I'll try doing that. [16:44] cba123: what filesystem is on the drives? [16:44] Magnus: If thats running on ubuntu server you could try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:44] Dr_Willis: Is it okay if I stay here to inform you of progress? [16:44] MisterTickles: as long as you are going to run a cable.. do a update/upgrade also. [16:45] Thanks Pici! :) [16:45] MisterTickles: Ive not had to mess with wireless in ages.. so You got most all tehinfo ui ahve on the topic. :) otheres in here may be able to help with other issues that come up. [16:45] Bye [16:45] some one, please, I need help with grub! [16:45] where is the X display driver to load configured. I'm just doing a demo and I don't really care about X performance, I just want it to work, so I want to set it to use vesa as what its using now has some issues. [16:46] Dr_Willis: I plugged in an ethernet cable. I'm now connected to the internet. [16:46] Dr_Willis: Do I try gksudo jockey-gtk again? [16:46] Dr_Willis, ext4 [16:47] so nobody knows how to install ubuntu on a gps navigator? [16:48] cba123: you must follow the proper ownership and permissions of the files on the drives. if the files are not owned by the users.. then they cant access the files. [16:48] MisterTickles: yes. [16:48] Dr_Willis: I did, it did some updating or something. Now it popped up an issue about there being no proprietary drivers in use on this system with "Broadcom STA wireless driver"> [16:48] anadon: heres a paste of my grub.cfg - lines 69-77 (or ther eabout) are the entry to boot windows for me. [16:48] I get an option to activate the driver. I'm going to do that. [16:48] MisterTickles: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [16:48] MisterTickles: if you are lucky thats all you needed. [16:48] Dr_Willis, I've tried chmod and chown [16:49] Dr_Willis: What would have been the manual equivalent to typing gksudo jockey-gtk in terminal? [16:49] jiltdil: One moment please :) It's updating some driver. [16:49] cba123: you havent been doing it right then. :) you may want to chown/chmod the Mountpoint. AFTER the disk is mounted. so the root of the drive is also owned by the user. [16:49] anadon: try this link it may help with grub and win7 >> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ [16:49] MisterTickles: system -> admin -> addational drivers. [16:49] vale: that's begging the question, isn't it? it's not at all clear that such a thing would be possible, especially when you haven't mentioned the make of the device in question. if you're looking for a fun project, however, perhaps you've found it. [16:49] Ah okay. === gaurav__ is now known as Guest4661 [16:50] anadon: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ === yannick_ is now known as xiantia [16:50] Dr_Willis, I did "sudo chmod 777 /media/foo" even added -R and "sudo chown cba123 /media/foo" [16:50] Dr_wills: how to password protect ur terminal [16:50] cba123: i do similer things all the time with no hassles.. double check ownership of the files/drives [16:50] jiltdil: that dose not make any sence.. clarify what you mean. [16:51] Is there a way to boot into a non-graphical ubuntu to do basic maintenance? Like a "safe-mode"-equivalent? [16:51] jfcaron: yes there is recovery mode [16:51] jfcaron: the 'text' option, can do that.. then theres the normal recovery mode.. [16:51] Dr_Willis: i want to lock my terminal with password.how to do this [16:51] jiltdil: no idea. never needed to. [16:51] ruan, Dr_Willis: Is it accessed through a special key to press at bootup? [16:51] jiltdil: check the package manager perhaps. [16:51] jfcaron: its in the normal grub menus [16:51] jfcaron: usually not, it's a different boot option [16:52] * Dr_Willis hates how grub autohides on some systems.. [16:52] (sipior) yes, it would be funny, but i have no idea how to compile a gps ubuntu version :S [16:52] jfcaron: also, you can boot into graphical mode from recovery with "startx" [16:52] or edit the grub line at boot and replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' or 'recovery' (i think) [16:52] Dr_Willis: That fixed it!! Thank you so much! [16:52] my grub never hid itself :S [16:52] sipior: yes, it would be funny, but i have no idea how to compile a gps ubuntu version :S [16:52] ruan, Dr_Willis: Ok so first thing is to make grub show itself. [16:53] jfcaron: yep [16:53] Dr_Willis, I just opened a root nautilus, and when I try to change the "permissions" of a folder to allow "read and write" file access, it goes back to "---" [16:53] wasn't there a key to show it.. was it shift? [16:53] jiltdil: you're looking for "vlock" [16:53] cba123: i would never run nautilus as root.. try it from the command line. [16:53] sipior:dont know about this explain [16:54] jiltdil: "sudo apt-get install vlock; vlock" [16:54] Dr_Willis, I knew it wasn't great to do, but I just wanted to try. [16:54] cba123: if you are setting permissions and they are changeing back.. that sounds like either a weird but, some security setting, or somthing ive never seen befor.. :) [16:54] jiltdil: perhaps i misunderstand what you're trying to accomplish? [16:55] is there a way i can add a folder to Places? [16:55] sipior:no i m not asking about that [16:55] I am no Linux Guru but I will try and help best I can [16:55] sipior: otherwise , what vlock does? [16:55] jiltdil: it locks your terminal until you provide your password. [16:55] !vlock [16:56] sipior:interactive terminal or terminal in gui [16:56] whatis good wireless that i can use with eeepc [16:56] jiltdil: those are both interactive terminals.

[17:00] may i ask whats the command that count the line in a file [17:00] jiltdil: you could add it to .bashrc, i suppose. that would drive be crazy in short order, frankly. [17:01] any ideas?

[17:18] i dont think so....ubuntu is installed in the 160gb harddisk and that hardisk contains only 1 partion [17:18] ruan: email conversation he's not in the same state as me [17:18] becker_11: ah ok [17:18] how can i fix the black screen when i try yo load my windows partition [17:18] with windows 7 loader [17:19] hello guys, I'm currently in the ubuntu installer and I'm a little stuck with some options [17:19] I have found most of the time using Ubuntu r other Linux dstros there is always a solution to ur problem search the web I have found that it works for the most part if not ask someone in a forum or here for help [17:19] I've made a reddit post that details my problem, I hope [17:19] http://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/fzufo/currently_in_the_ubuntu_installer_first_time_and/ [17:19] it would be nice if somebody could take a look :) [17:19] may i ask how to a copy a lines inside a file with start point and end point..thanks [17:20] * becker_11 back to Google [17:20] google know [17:20] can any 1 help? [17:20] google knows :) [17:20] cyoz: 1. ext4 [17:20] cyoz: 1. ext4 for ubuntu, and ntfs for windows [17:21] ok, thanks so far [17:21] anybody knows what is loopbacktesting is in wvdial. Something about exit code 17? [17:21] please guys i need you help [17:22] i just tried to update samba on my server and i f*** it up badly [17:22] my server is ubuntu 10.10 and i tried to update to samba 3.5.8 from here [17:22] I have never tried booting to differnet linux version lets say Ubuntu/Mandrivia dual boot never tried this before I have always dual booted winXX and Linux Distro === tobin_ is now known as tobinMTG === administrator is now known as Guest34373 [17:23] ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.5/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-amd64/ [17:23] Ntemis: How did you do the update? With the standard update tools? [17:23] cyoz: Use ext4 filesyste. Make a swap partiton about the size of your RAM. The rest if up to you. You can just have 2 partitons, one for swap and one for the rest, which is simpliest. === wazzup is now known as wiiguy [17:23] to update what ? [17:23] samba [17:23] use apt-get update [17:23] cyoz: The bootloader goes in the MBR [17:23] Ntemis: You downloaded a debian version of samba? That would be a problem if you're on ubuntu. [17:23] use apt-get upgrade [17:23] http://pastebin.com/NadhUFQg [17:24] please help me [17:24] cyoz: The bootloader goes in the MBR, (which is default option anyway). [17:24] now i have umet dep [17:24] cant install cant remove [17:24] terry, thanks so far.. but I'm still not sure about the bootloader there [17:24] to install new packages etc ... do this sudo apt-get install packagename [17:24] cyoz: What about the boot looader? What is your question? [17:25] should I create a new paritition for that too? [17:25] please help me unistall the conflicting packages [17:25] cyoz: the MBR is free of filesystem [17:25] cyoz: No, the boot loader goes in the MBR. (MBR = Master Boot Record). [17:25] cyoz: you won't need to create any partitions for it [17:25] I see; I have several options there, one is "just" my physical drive [17:25] Ntemis, i dont know about the samba part but this can help for broken dependencies http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/ [17:25] so that one, right? [17:25] Ntemis use sysnaptic to check your packages and do a clean [17:25] cyoz: yes, the MBR of your physical drive [17:25] Ntemis: Have you backed up your samba config files? [17:25] cyoz: choose the non-swap partition for your bootloader [17:25] yes [17:26] Ntemis: Or better still, have you backed up everything? [17:26] guys, 10.10 cannot detect my external display. I googled, only "solution" is a clean fresh install. This is for me same thing as reformatting a windows comupter. do you know what could solve it? [17:26] ricorx7 What??? [17:26] i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 [17:26] see I have the option to "just" choose my physical drive or choose a particular partition [17:26] which is what confused me [17:26] ricorx7: what do you mean non-swap partiton? [17:26] terry: in ubuntu install, in advanced, it ask where to put the bootloader [17:27] hmm wait.. [17:27] Ntemis: Try the page that Abhijit posted, that should help. [17:27] 10.10 not detecting external display, why? please, help... [17:27] non-swap, the partition that is not the the swap [17:27] somehow everything in /var/lib got deleted on my machine, how can i restore? Can't use dpkg/apt because /var/lib/dpkg doesn't exist [17:27] cyoz: bootloader goes in the primary drive's MBR. (which will over-write MS-Window's boot loader). [17:28] or in advanced, you can tell it which partition to use. Tell it to use the linux partition [17:28] ^ [17:28] That way the windows MBR is kept [17:28] anybody knows what is loopbacktesting is in wvdial. Something about exit code 17? pppd dies [17:28] mainrain, i dont know about the issue just a guess- you can try copying the files from a live cd? [17:28] mainrain: From backups? Barring that, pulling one over from another box of the same version might help. [17:28] ricorx7: Are you talking about the boot laoder? [17:28] cyoz: Don't listen to ricorx7, he is mistaken. [17:29] i have done it enough times [17:29] cyoz: You want to wipe the MS Windows boot loader so that grub takes over. [17:29] how to see rar file [17:29] So I uninstalled Gwibber.... now I tried to re-install it and it won't show up... I mean - notifications show up, but I can't actually open any application window. [17:29] gnah.. I had hoped linux would do that [17:29] jiltdil: unrar it first [17:29] it is more difficult to replace the MS boot loader, then to leave it alone and put grub on the linux partition [17:29] terry;s/w for it? [17:29] jiltdil, double click it? [17:30] then when you boot, MS bootloader will ask for the linux or windows partition [17:30] jiltdil: install the unrar package. [17:30] Then when the Linux partition is used, GRUB will load [17:30] jiltdil, try 7k or ark [17:30] sorry its 7zip [17:30] ko [17:30] cyoz: Well, I guess you need to listen to ricorx7, he seems to be the expert here. [17:30] jiltdil: p7zip-full [17:30] jiltdil, in software center search by word 'rar' and install first three softwares [17:31] thanx all [17:31] well.. everything is fresh installed and I have nothing to lose that can't be redone in 1-2 hours [17:31] anyways.. does that "mount point" matter when creating the swap partition? [17:31] cyoz: Good luck. (I tried...:) [17:31] :) [17:31] yes [17:32] . /boot? [17:32] cyoz: Yes, the mount point does matter. [17:32] cyoz: But do not need to specify it because the linux system will find it automatically and use it. [17:32] all ur mount points should matter r u may not b able to use them. [17:33] don't mount swap in /boot [17:33] for swap partition? [17:33] cyoz: /boot is not the swap partition. [17:33] yes, I mixed it up, the option is greyed [17:33] swap does not have a mount point [17:34] v3ctor is correct. The swap partition does nor really have a mount point. [17:34] I just hooked up a 500GB hard drive to my main PC, usually have all my HDD hooked up at setup but was wondering how you guys would setup the extra space? Like just fstab mount it as a drive in my own home directory? [17:34] so.. currently I'm creating the swap paritition first, then I'll add the rest to an ext4 parition, point the bootloader option to my physical drive and keep my fingers crossed [17:34] but ricorx7 is incorrect. You need to write the boot loader in the MBR. [17:35] cyoz: very good. You are on the right track. [17:35] you need swap partition and your ext4 were the / is mounted [17:35] bye guys .. seems you haven't got answer. [17:35] mati [17:35] not really, you can write the bootloader to linux partition [17:35] terry: not incorrect, his method will work, but using the MBR is the more common approach === andrew_ is now known as Guest82929 [17:35] bootloader still shows up on a partition [17:35] let MS bootloader run [17:36] add the linux partition to the MS bootloader [17:36] hi there [17:36] then select linux and grub will then run [17:36] That way windows works as orginally setup [17:36] hi there [17:36] ok, hopefully the final question: what should I choose for "mount point" when creating the partition I will use for ubuntu? [17:36] there's no reason to have 2 boot loaders. [17:36] cyoz: / [17:36] hi peeps, wanted to know how to get an old exabyte which is a scsi device but when running the mtx command to get the status, it says that the device is busy [17:36] v3ctor thanks [17:36] To preserve windows [17:37] how to install java to chrome i installed it already but its not working!! [17:37] Linux is easily removed and added, but Windows is a pain [17:37] hi there, upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 doesn t detect external display anymore (VGA cable)... how can I solve this? [17:37] ricorx7: How will having 2 boot loaders "preserve" windows? [17:37] am still waiting [17:37] ricorx7: Your logic if flawed. [17:37] hi peeps, wanted to know how to get an old exabyte which is a scsi device but when running the mtx command to get the status, it says that the device is busy [17:37] http://img24.imageshack.us/i/moniteursystme004.png/ [17:37] does any 1 know how i can fix my grub error [17:38] my cpu charge oscillate : http://img24.imageshack.us/i/moniteursystme004.png/ [17:38] I guess the options in ubuntu to set which partition to set the bootloader means enough people had this issue [17:38] alright, let's see what happens [17:38] !grub2 | MrNoob [17:38] MrNoob: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). 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] http://www.linuxbsdos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/winbuntu10-600x394.png [17:38] my laptop's webcam is not working, can anybody help?

[17:38] terry: ever read "help, my grub is broken, i want my windows!!!" in this channel? [17:38] km: samba [17:38] tightvnc? [17:39] hey guys. in the new ubuntu, is unity optional? [17:39] km: Or it depends on what OS's are on each. [17:39] insanity99, i think it s default [17:39] insanity99, #ubuntu+1 [17:39] weia: No, not really. Have you? [17:39] +1? [17:39] terry: all the time [17:39] i use xp and linux os [17:39] I hate these bootloader troubles.. was already a headache to install an old vista partition when I moved completly to windows 7 [17:39] but I actually managed it without reinstalling [17:40] *uninstall [17:40] guys, how can i solve a display not detected through vga after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10? [17:40] MrNoob: if windows is failing to load.. then it may be your grub entry for windows is wrong. [17:40] insanity99: Natty's support and discussion channel is #ubuntu+1 === Logan_ is now known as FBish[away] [17:40] MrNoob: if you have no grub menu at all. then your grub setup is incorrect. [17:40] how to install java to chrome i installed it already but its not working!! [17:40] ricorx7: isn't there a windows dance you must tell cyoz, so the MS bootloader will actually give him the choice? [17:40] weia: Well, if grub is broken, someone needs to fix it. I personally haven't had trouble with it. It's always worked fine for me. [17:40] Couple windows apps or there is a manual way [17:40] ok thanks [17:41] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ [17:41] How can I setup DELL EMC for use with Ubuntu? [17:41] barf: whats an 'emc' anyway? [17:41] weia: But it is not that tough to get a boot disk in the PC and boot up into Linux and then fix it. Or boot MS Windows, and fix it's boot loader and ditch Linux. [17:41] weia: sounds like he has gone further then that step [17:42] guys, no one for xrandr not detecting anything after a 1010 upgrade? [17:42] terry: fixing the MS bootloader is difficult [17:42] ricorx7: Oh really? What particular difficulty have you had? [17:43] Dr_Willis: SAN [17:43] finding a proper windows boot cd.. and figureing out what commands for what windows version.. :) can be a hassle. [17:43] terry: if you remove the MS bootloader and replace it with Grub, if you have any issues with GRUB and windows, you can not easily go back to MS bootloader [17:43] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: Go google up "ubuntu iSCSI howto" [17:43] you are stuck with GRUB or reinstall windows [17:43] how to install java to chrome i installed it already but its not working!! [17:43] My question is more or less which iscsi is the best practice? [17:44] remember the days of my linux use was command line only but did not know much about it So Linux has come a long way from the comand-line only to GUI and so fourth I think its awseome that the hear the kernel and all its individual apps make up the os its awsome for the user today that what it was yesteryears My hat is off to the people and programmers to make it all happen [17:44] my experience [17:44] I have no idea what just happened but I had some error during the install that said it failed to install additional stuf from CD (maybe cause I use an USB-stick?) but I am in Ubuntu right now [17:44] now I have no idea where the reboot button is.. lol [17:44] my first was slackware and mandrake [17:44] MrNoob: if windows is failing to load from the grub menu, and you added a windows entry by hand. then it may be your grub entry for windows is wrong. [17:44] AbuBadr: What have you installed actually? [17:44] Dr_Willis i have a grub menu [17:45] besogon, i installed the latest from java.com [17:45] Dr_willis i allready had windows then i made a partition to install ubuntu [17:46] AbuBadr: you really should use the java thats in the repos. [17:47] !safari [17:47] how to install safari [17:47] guys.. there is not shut down button here? [17:47] -.- [17:47] besogon, Dr_Willis, i installed this one jre-6u24-linux-x64.bin and this as will jre-6u24-linux-i586.bin [17:47] usually top right corner [17:47] circle with a line through it [17:47] cyoz: Where are you at? [17:48] ricorx7 yeah it has only hybernate and suspend [17:48] terry good question actually [17:48] I had some strange error in the setup but I am in ubuntu now [17:48] AbuBadr: install the sun-java6-bin package from the repo and it should just work after you restart chrome [17:48] cyoz: What did the error say? [17:48] failed to load addition (something) from CD [17:48] AbuBadr: i suggest using the ones in the repos.. not the ones you download from sun. [17:49] AbuBadr: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml [17:49] I think I just force a reboot and see what happens [17:49] lol'd [17:49] cyoz: Did you test the CD for integrity? [17:49] I used an USB stick [17:49] cyoz: USB stick for what? [17:49] besogon, Dr_Willis, where can i find repo? what is repo!!? [17:49] cyoz: did you check the md5 of the iso? [17:49] for the installation [17:49] didn't [17:50] cyoz: are you on a laptop or desktop? === newbie62 is now known as eBittin [17:50] currently laptop here but installing it ony my desktop [17:50] cyoz: Oh, well, I don't know about a USB install for Ubuntu.... I thought you said the error was about failing to load something from the CD? [17:50] check the md5 [17:50] cyoz: have you checked power management settings? can you select shutdown when power button is pressed? [17:50] AbuBadr: try reinstalling the Chrome [17:50] terry it did say that [17:51] I wish we knew exactly what it said. [17:51] terry: the usb is in a livecd environment [17:51] which is why it calls itself a cd [17:51] I rebooted and it loads windows 7 without bootmanager [17:51] besogon, ok i'll do so thanks [17:51] -..- [17:52] cyoz: Not knowing where in the install it failed, we have no way of advising you on what to do next. But sounds like you just need to start over. [17:52] cyoz: I would say check your media and try again. [17:52] yeah [17:52] !md5 [17:52] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [17:52] Hey, who's up for helping me with grub? === seiflotfy_ is now known as seiflotfy [17:52] anadon, i can try :) [17:52] MrNoob: you really havent been very clear on the problem.. yes you ahve windows.. and linux. but iother then that - you havent been saying a lot.. talk to the channel. dont just PM me.. I may have to leave at any time.. [17:52] win7 isn't showing up on it [17:53] cyoz: where did you put the bootloader, MBR or partition? [17:53] anadon: seems to be a common issue today. [17:53] weia I pointed ti directly at my physical drive [17:53] itilious: thanks! WIndows 7 won't show up [17:53] anadon, did you install ubuntu first, win7 second? [17:53] directly to physical drive = mbr [17:53] can i used security cameras attached to computer (with the required card) instead of webcams? [17:53] Dr_Willis: same guy(me) each time--no one's helped all the way through [17:53] what is free software for video surveilance? [17:54] [TK]D-Fender: Is this: http://www.howtoforge.com/iscsi_on_linux still best practice? [17:54] cyoz: ok, that means MBR. but by what you're saying, it didn't actually touch the MBR [17:54] install win7 first then ubuntu and it win7 will be on ur grub bootmanager [17:54] anadon: thers been other nicks.. i gave you a pastebin of my grub.cfg earlier i think. You could of just cut/pasted and 3edited the right lines int o your /etc/grub.d/41_custom [17:54] I suspect something went wrong because of the USB stick [17:54] I think that was you. :) i have been doing other work today [17:54] itilious: they were working then I had to re-install win7 then recovered ubuntu, now win7 can't get to the boot screen--the option doesn't appear on grub [17:54] but I followed the instructions closely... [17:55] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: grub here not reconizing win7 [17:55] cyoz: if it fails to load an element, it's most probably an integrity issue [17:55] anadon: and you did boot to ubuntu and reran 'sudo update-grub' ? [17:55] can i used security cameras attached to computer (with the required card) instead of webcams? [17:55] what is free software for video surveilance? [17:55] Dr_Willis: no you didn't give me a pastebin, link or anything of your grub.cfg [17:55] jackspike: check the ubuntu software center [17:55] <[TK]D-Fender> barfnext time, always specify your OS in your search and find the guides with specific info on yours [17:55] anadon, i know its simple and mean no disrespect by suggesting the obvious lol,, but did you try "sudo update-grub"? [17:55] Dr_Willis: several times [17:55] update-grub2* [17:55] anadon: heres a paste of my grub.cfg - lines 69-77 (or ther eabout) are the entry to boot windows for me. [17:55] grub is legacy [17:55] sorry, just saw Dr_Willis asked already and you answered already lol [17:55] well i made a 40gb partition then i installed ubuntu on the 40gb partition i installed grub but when i click windows7 loader i just get a blank screen wit a white blinkin line [17:55] itilious: yes, many times [17:56] anadon: i did.... :) that was in my history buffer. [17:56] why does ubuntu still to this day not have an iptables service? [17:56] what is iptables? [17:56] bytesaber_work: write one, if it bothers you. [17:57] sipior, what bothers me, is how it's still ignored. [17:57] anadon: Hmm? I just pasted it again.. let me check...../ http://pastebin.com/pBCLNNzG [17:57] there [17:57] how can something as popular and active as ubuntu still suffer all the missing components debian suffers? [17:57] bytesaber_work: no one cares. if you do, change it. [17:57] but when i do gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst its empty [17:57] there are many iptables tools on ubuntu software center it seems [17:57] MrNoob: menu.lst is for the old grub.. not grub2. [17:57] bytesaber_work: whinging in #ubuntu-offtopic, by the way. [17:57] sipior, i fail to understand how no one cares. even windows has one. [17:57] bytesaber_work: it has ufw and I'm sure other firewall management setups. [17:57] !firewall [17:57] 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. [17:57] whats for gtub2 then [17:58] MrNoob: you edit th eproper /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ files as needed [17:58] is imap for gmail.com on thunderbird --> imap.googlemail.com [17:58] ? [17:58] Dr_Willis: I have no idea what to do with that [17:58] why am i being expected to inject my own "customization" into the boot processes? A kernel firewall configuration isn't supposed to be a custom moddification. [17:58] MrNoob: then rerun sudo update-grub [17:58] bytesaber_work: then use something else. [17:58] ok let me try it [17:58] Dr_Willis: I think you have a different configuration than I [17:58] somethign else just uses iptables [17:58] anadon: cut/paste the lines i mentioned into your /etc/grub.d/41_custom and edit them to boot your windows install. [17:58] does update-grub update grub2? [17:59] anadon: mine is on sda1 i think. [17:59] ruan: yes.. [17:59] service iptables restart (service not found) [17:59] ah ok [17:59] iptables-save > iptables.conf yet nothing will ever read and load the .conf [17:59] bytesaber_work: What exactly are you tryint to do? [18:00] bytesaber_work: file a bug report. [18:00] lame [18:00] so can I just not auto-join #ubuntu because of the new bot check? [18:00] can black ppl use ubuntu for free too ? [18:00] terry, got a system up and running. i've typed in all my desired iptables configurations. i save them. reboot. no service in ubuntu exists to load my iptables config. [18:00] kiffa: run along now and play outside. [18:00] can black ppl use ubuntu for free too ? [18:00] lol [18:00] because if [18:00] ;-) [18:01] anyways, I need to setup Ubuntu to not ever write to the USB drive its installed to. Dont ask, im reviving a dead laptop for free to supply someone in need of a computer [18:01] everything is all isntalled and good now. but writing to the USB flash drive will shorten life [18:01] \ignore sipior [18:01] Darkenvy: Its temporary, register your nick to bypass it if we need to enable it in the future. [18:01] can i install safari ? [18:01] ah thanks pici [18:01] there is a tool just view the grub boot menu [18:02] how to check what is using my hdd? [18:02] bytesaber_work: try harder. [18:02] readonly [18:02] <[TK]D-Fender> nishant: Under Wine, probably [18:02] ricorx7 you talking to me? [18:02] Not ubuntu distro ? === MT-TakinBreak is now known as MTecknology [18:02] dr willis im confussed [18:02] Dr_Willis: I'm sorry for having to ask this, but what's the file location? [18:02] <[TK]D-Fender> nishant: I seriously doubt Apple ported anything that Ubuntu can use directly [18:02] I need to stop ubuntu from writing to the disk! how? [18:03] Right I think thats the case . Tough luck , how is opera and how to install on Ubuntu [18:03] Just want to try out the browsers [18:03] Darkenvy: mount it readonly. If you literally NEVER want to write to it, thats going to mean intercepting the boot process and giving it some custom boot flags to run a custom init (like init=/bin/bash), and then never mounting anything RW. [18:03] terry, alternatively i have to get rc.local to load an iptalbes-restore at boot time. however when rc.local starts, there is already open networking in place long after. i need these rules active in the kernel long before networking begins. [18:03] opera just use the repos [18:03] <[TK]D-Fender> Darkenvy: Make a bootable "live CD" image onto it. It shouldn't write back ever [18:03] how come apt-get doesn't have search feature? [18:03] ok [18:03] if your okay with " a little " writing, just boot normally, set /etc/fstab for everything to be RO, remove swap and reboot. [18:04] km: "apt-cache search" [18:04] km, it does. apt-cache search "stufftosearchfor" [18:04] oops! got. it has been too long since i last use that [18:04] km, but you'll have to pipe it through grep as it's search feature is so loose it's almost useless [18:05] sure [18:05] anadon: You mean /etc/grub.d/41_custom ? === asig0x6f is now known as asig [18:05] So I have ubuntu made into a bootable USB disk made with "unetbootin" [18:05] "apt-cache search perl | grep -i perl" [18:05] is that read only since its doing the "try linux before install" thing? [18:05] Darkenvy: you can make a persistant save file.. but i dont think unetbootin can do that. [18:06] i ended up install some search app i don't need. hehe.... [18:06] sow hat is unetbootin doing? if I do something with this USB drive does it save the changes? [18:06] MrNoob: dont msg me. I may have to run at any time. and dependign on what you want to do. you edit one or more of those files [18:06] km, "dpkg -l | grep -i thingyouinstalled" [18:06] MrNoob: its worth readuing the grub2 wiki page/forum threads. it gives details on all the options [18:06] alright here we go again [18:06] DR)Willis how do i add windows 7 [18:06] "copying data" seems to work [18:06] "copying nearly complete" [18:06] * cyoz keeps fingers crossed [18:06] Dr_Willis Darkenvy: I don't know about unetbootin, but I know whenever you make a USB using "Make startup disk" from within Ubuntu from an .iso you can choose to reserve space for documents ansd such. [18:07] So.... in conclusion, if I dont make files/edit them while running the OS, will Linux write to the drtive? I dont want the USB drive to degrade [18:07] Dr_willis how to i add windows 7 to the grub.cfg [18:07] I know windows writes constantly to the HDD so running widnows off of a USB drive is dfrowned upon. (or at least was back in the day) [18:08] Darkenvy: then click the "Discard on shutdown" option, which disables the persistence option [18:08] regarding elantech multitouch support in ubuntu 10.10 can somebody guide me in the right direction [18:09] i am currently using modprobe psmouse=imps ... [18:09] MrNoob: if 'sudo update-grub' is not showing it - You can add a custome entry to /etc/grub.d/41_custom [18:09] hi [18:09] "an attempt to configure apt failed to install further pakages from CD" (translated from German, hope it's accurate enough) [18:09] :/ [18:10] webcam not working, segmentation fault in libv4l2 is showing on launching cheeze, help please [18:10] So, I'm running ubuntu netbook 10,10. THere's a recovery partition on my hard drive that I want to install Windows 7 from back onto my computer ?? [18:10] ok im in there all i get is #!/bin/sh cat < how do i add custom [18:10] drc, where is that option? In the install menu? So I would need to boot from USB, then install to another USB?

[18:12] thefirstdude: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppa_name [18:12] hold on I never used the startup disk creator [18:12] thefirstdude, apt-add-repository [18:13] none of those commands found [18:13] I mean is it even nessisary? if the ubuntu liveCD thinks its on a CD then wouldnt it not try to write to the drive its reading it from? [18:13] so vi just add that [18:13] apt-add-repository is on my system (10.10) [18:13] it would only write to RAMdisk or something [18:13] Darkenvy: then I can't help (I was just answering your question about not writing to the USB stick, missed your comment about using unetbootin, sorry) [18:13] can anyone help me install mono on ubuntu ? [18:13] speedy: 2 problems, 1-I have no idea how to enter data for grub, 2-that package isn't available through means given on the page [18:14] speedy: I don't know what grub needs or how to find that data [18:14] use apt to get if available [18:14] speedy: did [18:14] :S [18:14] i will check it and c [18:14] thanks for your help anyways. I think I may have found enough answers by bouncing ideas ;) [18:15] After I installed Ubuntu, I tried to recover windows using my recovery partition, and something goes wrong with the ubuntu boot loader, now there is no bootloader at all. [18:15] So now I'm running ubuntu, with a recovery partition on the hard drive that I can't access to install windwos [18:15] Hi, I would need to get some help getting my graphic card up n running [18:15] It seems to be 'Grub' day today... [18:15] Its a Intel [18:15] ZacLnxNewb: can you mount the installed system to a location? [18:15] * Starminn Agrees with the doctor. ;) [18:16] !fixgrub [18:16] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[18:16] well, its not working for some reason [18:16] rooks: lsof [18:16] is there a way to manually add ppa [18:16] command i often use to reinstall grub -> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint /dev/sda --recheck [18:16] MR_Willis so like this ---> http://pastebin.com/3rFn2xAn [18:16] I don't really know where to start. I read to go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which I know I have looked in before or earlier installations but theres no such file... === SeanIAm_Away is now known as SeanIAm [18:16] Dr_Willis: I've deleted all the partitions on my hard drive except for the recovery partition. I made a 65 GB partition for windows to install on, but I can't run the windows recovery [18:17] MrNoob: you did change the actual set root='(hd0,msdos1)' line? and Not just the title? [18:17] greppy, is there some htop-ish display in procent or some learderboard what is using the most of mine resources? [18:17] hhd-wise? [18:17] hdd [18:17] MrNoob: also theres a few lines at teh start of /etc/grub.d/41_custom that MUST be left alone. [18:17] anyone good with setting up Dans Guardian? I found two links one uses tinyproxy and the other uses squid, however in squid, the option must be set in Firefox, or it won't use it, that is what it appears to be, is the same true for tinyproxy? [18:17] Dr_Willis: and when I was able to start the windows recovery from the grub boot loader, it seemed to restsrt the computer, and it killed the grub boot loader so I couldn't continue the installation process and I'd have an unusable computer [18:17] Mr_Willis i dont know what to change === Guest44361 is now known as DarkDevil [18:17] I am installing tomboy todo plugin and I get this message on running the `make' command : Todo.cs(26,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Gtk' could not be found.

[18:18] Here is the nice and easy setup for DansGuardian: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/03/how-to-filter-web-contents-with-danguardian-in-ubuntu/ Requires setting up firefox.

[18:18] MrNoob: whever your windows install is at.. hd0 = first disk.. msdos1 = first partition. (i think) change the 0 and 1 to fit your setup. set root='(hd0,msdos1)' [18:19] hm [18:19] Dr_Willis: Before I had windows 7 installed, on one parition, Ubuntu on another, and a storage partition, also, in the background there was a recovery partition [18:19] have a networking problem... [18:19] oh [18:19] Dr_Willis: I've deleted all the partitions EXCEPT for the recovery partition, and I reconfigured them, now I want to install windows back on to the first partition using the installer on the recovery partition [18:19] 2 NICs in a computer, 2 different IPs, 2 different MAC addresses, 2 physical cables to the router... why would the router see only one MAC for both addresses? [18:20] nevermind, i found the monitor app. [18:20] Dr_Willis i dont know what they are how do i find out [18:20] alright I'll give up for today.. === tobinMTG is now known as tobin_ [18:20] rooks: not that I know of. [18:20] bye guys and thanks [18:21] greppy, k,thx [18:21] atpa8a: 2 different mac addresses you mentioned? [18:21] how can I make my bottom taskbar fixed width instead of centered and expanding/contracting? I want it fully justified across the screen [18:21] greppy, i found the offender through htop :) [18:21] hi yall [18:21] ruan: on the box ifconfig shows 2 different MAC addresses [18:21] atpa8a, [18:21] on the router both IPs resolve to the same MAC [18:21] MrNoob: where is your windows installed to? first hd? 2nd hd? look at the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and see aht partition its on. [18:21] atpa8a, wow u're in linux ;) [18:22] atpa8a, remember me? [18:22] yeah :P [18:22] Dr_Willis ive only got 1 hd [18:22] How do I check my graphic card I belive it aint "activated"/installed [18:22] Ok, I found something out about my grub--it was version 1--but I tried installing version 2, and it can't complete successfully due to dependency issues...my computer can't reboot now! [18:22] atpa8a: does the mac correspond to the interface which holds the default route? [18:22] atpa8a, pastebin your ifconfig [18:22] hey atpa8a i finally went to her house and talk to her one of the morning...she said: "i dont want to be friend with you no more that is why i never pick up ur calls" [18:22] MrNoob: you could just add the entry, rerun sudo update-grub. reboot, see if it works.. if it dont edit the line from teh grub menu changeing the #'s trying differnt ones till you find one that does work.. and jot that down and then edit the file to make it perment. [18:22] atpa8a, lol, i gave up after seeing her [18:23] Phong_: creepy and off-topic. [18:23] anadon: what version was your ubuntu? [18:23] !offtopic | Phong_ [18:23] Phong_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:23] okay okay [18:23] sorry [18:23] Dr_Willis this is my partition === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara [18:23] sudo fdisk -l [18:23] lol [18:23] MrNoob: its also possible you need to change that big # in the example to match the UUID of your windows install. [18:23] ok [18:24] sipior: more like to the one that doesn't have the gateway setting... i tried all combinations tho and it seems sometimes that i could arp resolve to two MACs on external boxes but it'll always be the same MAC on the router [18:24] which file can i manually edit the x server? [18:25] Dr_Willis this is what i have ----- > http://pastebin.com/x9aPeqqe [18:25] night, i need to know if someone down here has been through those 10.04 to 10.10 upgrades and detecting external displays problem... [18:26] i can no longer send signal through VGA in 10.10 [18:26] Can someone help me get the windows installer running off my recovery partition? [18:26] I don't have the skills with ubuntu to fix this [18:27] hwilde: http://pastie.org/1648266 [18:27] atpa8a, wow what a mess :) now which mac does your router see ? [18:27] WooHoo! reinstall! [18:27] atpa8a: flush the arp cache on the router and try again. all else fails, use tcpdump and follow the "WHO HAS" transactions. [18:27] hmm [18:28] Problem with graphics, glxinfo gives this: http://pastebin.com/bQqj2ryp [18:28] Because I installed ubuntu, when I tried to reinstall windows from my recovery partition, I can't. Now I have a recovery partition on the hard drive that I can't seem to access [18:28] to install windows 7 back [18:29] did you make it boot from CD and put the CD in? [18:29] i don't see that function anywhere on the router... [18:29] I cannot install windows 7 back on my computer from the recovery partition on the hard drive. >.< [18:29] I am pissed at windows [18:29] atpa8a, I mean which IP is the router seeing? [18:29] atpa8a, which is the router seeing [18:30] ZacLnxNewb: do you have a recovery cd? [18:30] ZacLnxNewb: in fairness that's your computer manufacturues fault for not giving you a install disk, but only a faulty recovery partition [18:30] usually the cd will access the recovery hdd [18:30] ricorx7: No, This is a netbook with no optical drive. The recovery software is on the partition on the hard drive [18:31] ZacLnxNewb, so what happens when you just plain boot your computer? nothing? can't you hit like F8 to get to the repair windows prompt [18:31] does the ntfs mount care about the read-only/write access settings on ntfs drives? [18:31] hwilde: the eth1 right now :P as sipior mentioned, if i use gateway line in another NIC in /etc/network/interfaces then it switches to the other MAC [18:31] Buttons840: Wrong, it's not faulty, it worked fine when I used it before. it was easy to do and use and I loved it [18:31] ZacLnxNewb: its your system seller using recovery partitions. If you remove the Linux partitions it may work [18:31] anadon: maybe this will help http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/grub-customizer-20-can-change-default.html [18:31] atpa8a, ok so your router is seeing the IP address of the eth interface that is the default gateway? that sounds like expected behavior [18:31] hwilde: When I tried I got a "grub rescue>" console [18:31] atpa8a: yep, working as intended. [18:32] hwilde: and an error that the partition wasn't found or soemthing [18:32] no [18:32] atpa8a: you want to bond these interfaces? [18:32] ZacLnxNewb, ok so then you tried to fix grub and pointed it at different partitions? [18:32] both NICs are connected to the router [18:32] hwilde: ActionParsnip I WAS however able to boot the partition with grub bootloader before [18:32] ZacLnxNewb: i seem to recall some 'system resue live cd' that could boot hard drives. I also recall ages ago on a pc. needing to set the bootable flag on a rescue partition. and the pc then booted it. [18:32] via physical cable [18:32] atpa8a, your OS will only send traffic out the default gateway. [18:32] atpa8a: right, but the traffic is being sent along the default route. [18:32] Hans_Henrik: its an NTFS partition and usually the read / write status is ignored [18:32] atpa8a: think about what happens at the packet level. [18:33] Dr_Willis: How would I set that bootable flag? [18:33] sipior: i see, i tried to set the gateway for both too [18:33] ZacLnxNewb, boot to live cd, run gparted, click the Bootable Flag [18:33] hi [18:33] thanks [18:33] I'll be on later [18:33] Hans_Henrik: you set the access when its mounted [18:33] how do i restart a specific network interface without restarting others? [18:33] atpa8a: multiple gateways in linux is possible, but not obvious. see here: http://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/ [18:34] atpa8a, what exactly are you hoping to accomplish anyways [18:34] sipior: the box itself works without problem [18:34] Moldy: maybe ifdown / ifup will do it [18:34] atpa8a: sure, i don't doubt it. [18:34] atpa8a: were you planning to bond these interfaces? [18:35] the problem really only happens when i try to forward ssh from the WAN on the router to either of the IPs for these NICs [18:35] ActionParsnip: yes, that did it -- thanks [18:35] Moldy: np [18:35] sipior: wasn't planning to do bonding [18:35] atpa8a, and what happens when you try to do that [18:35] hwilde: nothing reaches either interface [18:36] penalvch: ping? [18:36] atpa8a, because you are running tcpdump? [18:36] sipior: right now, one NIC is used for a kvm bridge [18:37] hwilde: ssh just times out [18:37] atpa8a, you installed openssh-server ya? [18:37] oh sure :P [18:37] atpa8a: tried powering the router off and on. I've seen it needed on some home grade routers === FBish[away] is now known as FarkingBish [18:37] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/grub-customizer-20-can-change-default.html [18:38] Can anyone recommend a network with a channel for FreeBSD help? [18:38] Aerospaztic: ##freebsd ? [18:38] ActionParsnip: it's a small office grade router srxn3205 and i did reboot it [18:38] atpa8a, and you can locally say things like ssh 10.10.10.10 and it works? [18:38] hwilde: it all works on the local network even [18:38] atpa8a: cool. [18:38] hi can anyone tell me where to ask questions about clonezilla [18:38] hwilde: yes! [18:38] FreeBSD is a UNIX flavor out of Berkley. [18:38] it's only the forwarding that fails [18:38] so i cannot ssh from outside [18:39] Aerospaztic: yes, I know that, I've just suggested a channel on this network that can help you with it's support, we only support ubuntu here [18:39] atpa8a: are there logs i [18:39] In the router? [18:39] atpa8a, can you forward port 80 and other things and it works? [18:40] hwilde: i forward to other hosts (kvm guests running on one of the NICs that is the kvm bridge) [18:40] atpa8a: is there a bastion proxy or similar between the router and the world? [18:41] wow .. aptitude is very nice [18:41] very user friendly [18:41] atpa8a, so can you try something easy like forward to port 80 on hte router and access it remotely, or some easy test [18:41] ActionParsnip: there kinda is... optimum online gear... but i can see the requests come into the router... [18:41] ikonia: Forgive my noobness, but where did you suggest the channel? [18:41] joeb_: where are you suprirsed by that, as yesterday you where asking why it was removed, so you must have used it [18:41] what is a good tool to benchmark ubuntu's performance on a machine?

[18:42] atpa8a, what about the return path? [18:42] ikonia- back in ubuntu 8 /9 i had to use aptitiude to ugprade my distor run commands .. it didn't have this nice interface [18:42] atpa8a: is there a local firewall rule set in place on the ssh server to disallow non-local traffic? [18:42] ActionParsnip: firewall on the server is all open [18:43] hwilde: how do i check return path? [18:43] penalvch: I saw you doing some great work on LibreOffice bug mangling. Thank you for that! How did you start to get involved there? [18:43] atpa8a, well... how would the return path know where to go? what happens when you try ssh -vvv [18:44] hwilde: on the client?.. locally everything works, when it [18:44] Sweetshark: Well the company I work for is OOo atm looking to move to Libre, so seemed great way to understand better why they made the initial move to OOo and then why move to Libre. [18:45] 's coming thru the router, it just times out [18:45] does not return :P [18:45] atpa8a, and if you tail -f /var/log/syslog or /var/log/auth.log you see nothing hitting the sshd server? tcpdump shows no traffic reaching 10.10.10.10 interface?

[18:48] hwilde: netgear srxn3205 [18:48] <_xc> but I suppose you would have seen stuff like that elsewhere as well then [18:48] it started after i tried to install a webcam [18:49] atpa8a, ok so can you forward something easy like to port 80 somewhere, or a webcam, or anything simple to test port forwarding [18:49] hwilde: a rather nice router :P [18:49] i suspect upgrading libgl1-mesa-... files caused the problem. [18:49] just_some_guest: does it happen in all players? [18:49] hwilde: i forward a lot of things already and they all work, the only problem is this box with dual NICs [18:49] yes, all players [18:50] ikonia: sorry, i stand corrected. but could you just answer question instead of pointing out small errors [18:50] atpa8a, you have ssh forwarded in the other cases? [18:50] vlc, xine, gxine, mplayer [18:50] <_xc> codec related then? [18:50] I'm trying to get AAC encoding going with FFMpeg, confused on if libavcodec-unstripped-52 provides this, or do I need ffmpeg-extras from mediabuntu?

[19:58] alienkid10, or try handbrake [19:58] can anyone suggest an a good, WM independent, alternative for gnome-power-manager? [19:58] yes, but my prefering is thunderbird, phoenixsampras [19:58] PhoenixSTF, [19:58] is evolution saves password and is it secure to use? [19:59] scriptwarlock: handbrake is weird with me it gives me a very like "wobbly" video at the places where the camera pans around [19:59] jiltdil: yes, it stores them in the keyring with everthing else, so it's just as safe as saving any other passwords. [19:59] erkan^, the problem with imap usualy is some defenition that need some tuning try and compare boath mail clients configuration [19:59] has anyone tried this with success? http://noteearty.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-run-dreamweaver-cs3-in-ubuntu.html [19:59] alienkid10, but you haven't tried winff yet? [19:59] but i don't understand why.. @gmail.com on empathy for chat works good, but gmail.com on thunderbird is problem since today. yesterday was it good gmail.com on thunderbird. how can that, PhoenixSTF ? [19:59] jiltdil: but if you're not using an encrypted connection to the server, then it doesn't really matter. [20:00] sacarlson: i'm gonna come back after i've made pancakes :) [20:00] scriptwarlock: I'll try it when I get home.

[20:03] oh well [20:03] leftist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:03] v0lksman: you can purge ppa's from your system with 'ppa-purge' [20:03] erkan^, dont know realy, is yesterday was good... and if you dindt changed it ? if passwords are there, and everything is ok? have you tried to restart the app or the pc and your router??? [20:03] c0dege3k: I didn't even know that upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 was supported, I thought you could try the unreleased by install [20:04] leftist: I've got a win7 partition, but honestly, it's not likely that I'll find the time to try it. [20:04] can i use security camera with pc and use a surveilance software with it? [20:04] azertyy, did you try it yourself ? [20:04] A little confused here, when running "glxinfo | grep rendering" I get Direct Rendering : No but if I do the same with sudo I get Direct Rendering :Yes - Does that mean I need to run programs as root for DRI?

[20:04] jackspike: yes, people do it all the time. [20:04] yeah i will just run it in vm or on a windows box. yeah. [20:04] v0lksman: that way you are back on a officially supported version and can report bugs [20:04] yes i often have tried, i don't understand why [20:04] jackspike, a ub or pci [20:04] c0dege3k: but 11.04 isn't released yet [20:04] jackspike: you probably should be more specific.

[20:09] sacarlson, it fixed nothing [20:09] scriptwarlock whats swam [20:10] jackspike, its a product name for security cams, swann [20:10] hello, I messed with pulseaudio and oss to get quake3 to run and now I have no sound anymore. everything plays nicely but there is no output.

[20:35] sacarlson, i have noi idea. but it forces it every update or package install. then it says its in bad shape if i try to remove [20:35] try to install from source? [20:35] nestea: remove the packages installed with dpkg -i (dpkg -r packagename) and reinstall it using apt-get install, then its fixed [20:36] hm [20:36] nestea: only use packages comming from the repo and not local downloaded deb-files [20:36] pcfreak30: well I know it's not really needed it just provides an ip if your dhcp fails to respond so it can't hurt too much to force a purge [20:36] I'm trying to get opera for windows, but the opera site keeps forcing me to download the ubuntu version [20:37] [ apparently flashplayer on WINE works better in windows ] [20:37] andai: ##windows, #opera [20:37] sacarlson, um ive tried and it gives that bad shape error [20:37] pcfreak30: can you right click the deb file and open it in arkive? [20:37] i am unable to connect to a server (via Go > Connect to server) it was just working yesterday and now today it isn't working. i am certain that i am typing the password correct and that the ftp ports are open. this is the error i get: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply [20:37] aeon-ltd : Truthfully, I'm not 100% sure, a friend gave me it ¬.¬' It seems to be 512MB of RAM, not too sure of the processor (1.66GHz) [20:37] andai, see my PM [20:38] keith27: can you ping the host? [20:38] hello, i heared there is an arm-gnuabi toolchain prepeacked for ubuntu, where can i download it? [20:38] nice. I found a solution for notes! Tomboy notes is an app for ubuntu and windows, which provides syncing to your ubuntu One account. awesome ^ [20:38] nestea: it should ne "sudo dpkg -r samba && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install samba" [20:38] i want to enable some cool compiz effects however when i go to Change Desktop background -> Visual Effects -> Custom -> Prefs and change what i want (eg enabling scale making my windows fold into airplanes when open/closed). then i hit close however nothing is enable and when i click prefs again it looks as tho i have not saved because none of my changes stay. what am i doing wrong? [20:38] iceroot: yes i can ping the host. also i can login via cpanel on the server [20:38] nestea: but you know best which packages you installed with dpkg -i [20:39] now i cant install samba at all [20:39] keith27: ftp is also started at that host? ftp hostname on the shell [20:39] sacarlson, its opened. has control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, and debian-binary [20:39] nestea: please post the error to pastebin and use the nick from the person you are speaking to [20:39] Eambo: hmm it would be better if you could get specifics, but i would !md5 check the iso or use a lighter distro like xubuntu, ubuntu server, lubuntu [20:40] pcfreak30: what is the name of this deb file? [20:40] aeon-ltd, Intel Celeron M 420. [20:40] sacarlson, avahi-autoipd_0.6.25-1ubuntu6.2_i386.deb [20:40] Also the lightest OS you can suggest to me, please do :-) It's to get someone up and running for basic web use, nothing fancy. [20:40] iceroot how do i provide the username when i ftp thehostname [20:40] If this is way too old for any linux distro that's fine, just thought I'd chance it :-) [20:40] keith27: ftp user@host [20:40] drc: they're all video files [20:40] no I have not tried to do what you said for the documents. [20:41] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/daTZJdkq [20:41] Eambo: lubuntu if it should be ubuntu based [20:41] who can help me with Geographic Operators in SQL? [20:41] nestea: also remove the libwbclient with dpkg -r and everyhing else you installed by a local dep [20:42] deb [20:42] Eambo: if you want to stick with *buntu, then the unofficial but excellent lubuntu is "lightest" [20:42] OrangePeel: what? [20:42] Eambo: no i've seen people push pentium 2s to their limit :) ; but imo ubuntu gnome is heavy - relative to other distros (except fedora, mandriva - the other 'fat' distros) [20:42] iceroot: i can ftp hostname and i am prompted for a password (with the wrong username) but when i ftp user@host it says No address associated with hostname [20:42] drc: lubuntu is an official release just without an extra cd [20:42] I'm happy with any suggestions you've got to be honest, doesn't need to be *buntu. :-) [20:42] Video files won't even work, is it possible viruses have infiltrate the files? [20:42] Eambo: good with command line? [20:42] But if lubuntu is light and the way to go, I'm happy to do so! :-) [20:42] iceroot: they finally got recognized? 'Bout time :) [20:42] aeon-ltd I am, but the user getting it isn't :-P [20:43] Eambo: i'd get ubuntu unless you'd like to tailor ubuntu server to your user [20:43] Eambo: *lubuntu [20:43] Nah, it's not really a high priority project for me. lubuntu sounds good :-) [20:43] keith27: ftp hostname, after that you are asked for a username and then a password [20:43] I'll give it a try and if it still runs rather...badly...I'll consider it a wasted computer =-) [20:44] Thanks very much for the advice everyone, I'll give lubuntu a try! [20:44] every time I send an email with kmail and I send it to more people, every receiver sees all other addresses; how can I setup kmail to just send every person this email but so, that noone sees the email addresses of the other receivers? [20:44] drc: imo with 10.04 there was the official version [20:44] Malkavian_: use bcc [20:44] Malkavian_: its not a kmail issue its a normal mail feature [20:44] Eambo: if lubuntu doesn't work out for you, go to Distrowatch and look at all their listing for a light weight linux [20:44] iceroot: yes i am connected this way [20:45] iceroot: using bcc hides all addresses? [20:45] Great drc, thanks. To be honest I'm a windozer at heart, but I'm always willing to try other things :-) [20:45] Malkavian_: the persons are only see other persons which are into "to or cc" but not in the bcc field [20:46] iceroot: "The lubuntu team aims to earn official endorsement from Canonical" is still the leadin on the lubuntu website, so I guess that's where I got the "unofficial" [20:46] guys, how can i check to see if my ipod is still mounted, i load it in gtkpod just fine but nothing shows on my desktop that anything is even mounted. [20:46] keith27: so ftp is working but the "connect to server" has a problem [20:46] ok so now i have a public key and i can see it on the servers and everything [20:46] drc: hm [20:46] im afraid to disconnect the device [20:46] iceroot: it appears so yes. it was just working last night however [20:46] !info lubuntu-desktop [20:46] lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment.

Version 0.18 (maverick), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) [20:46] when i receive an encrypted email from someone and i have their public key..what is done next to view the email? [20:46] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and did the security updates. Aside from that, is there anything I should be concerned about that could be a security risk? [20:46] drc: ah its multiverse, thought its in main, sorry for that [20:46] how do i check for broken symlinks? [20:47] tom23342: not on a default installation [20:47] iceroot: thanks, but this means, I have to have one person in TO or CC field and this persons address will be seen by all other receivers from the BCC field - this is what I do not, that someone sees some other address [20:47] iceroot: np, just thought I was wrong (again:) [20:47] tom23342: firewall [20:47] every receiver should see only his address [20:48] iceroot, ok [20:48] Malkavian_: use some "dummy" address in the To: field [20:48] aeon-ltd, I set up Firestarter [20:48] Malkavian_: on newsletters i saw that but i think its a server-thing, not a client-thing [20:48] is that the best one to use? === root is now known as Guest97785 [20:48] tom23342: there is no need for a (personal) firewall [20:49] tom23342: everything fine with your ubuntu === marc is now known as Guest19894 [20:49] iceroot: ok, I think I should check my setting on server side [20:49] tom23342: they're pretty much all the same they all just manage iptables [20:49] tom23342: just install ubuntu and enjoy that you dont have do worry about bluescreens, viruses, trojans and so on [20:49] hi i have a problem when iopen the youtube the video doesnt work and it gives me a message "The following plug-in has crashed :Shockwave Flash [20:50] hey there [20:50] any PPA gurus here?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:50] iceroot, that part is a definite plus, but now I'm worried about being scanned and exploited. [20:50] pcfreak30: when I try to install that deb on my 10.04 it tells me that an older version exists and I should use that instead. not sure why [20:50] aeon-ltd, thanks [20:51] tom23342: the best way for a secure system is to use the system updater to fix security-bugs [20:51] tom23342: then you are safe [20:51] ok... i want my ppa source package not to contain sources but automatically download them from svn and git - it that possible? [20:51] bdancer: a source-package always contains source-code [20:51] tom23342: but i'd just watch out online as with any OS for phishing, web based attacks - not really malicious just annoying [20:52] iceroot, ok tnx [20:52] bdancer: maybe you can have a hack in the rules/install file or preinst [20:52] bdancer: so the buildsystem is pulling the source from extern [20:53] drc I haven't tried to compress the files for burning [20:53] bdancer: or you are building a package which is only using git and the postinst and build what you want [20:53] Is there no option to not install the boot loader when installing Ubuntu? I already have GRUB2 on another partition... [20:53] too many problems with linux. [20:53] Malkavian_: on the alternate-cd there is that option [20:53] iceroot, i just want smth like in buildsevice where package could update sources from time to time and rebuild package with new version [20:53] mu: on the alternate-cd there is that option [20:53] mu: Select advance partitioning and the option should be there... [20:53] Malkavian_: sorry wrong nick [20:53] mu: the last time i uesd the installer there was [20:53] iceroot: when i am connected via ftp via the shell and i do 'dir' it isn't listing directories like i would expect, its saying: 200 PORT command successful 150 Connecting to port 59292 [20:53] hi i have a problem when iopen the youtube the video doesnt work and it gives me a message "The following plug-in has crashed :Shockwave Flash" can any body help me to solve this problem?? [20:54] I'm doing advanced partitioning on the Ubuntu Netbook install but as far as I can tell there is no option [20:54] Under "Boot loader" it just gives a list of drives/partitions [20:54] iceroot: thanks [20:54] bdancer: i guess its better to build a new package if a new source is available === BernardV_ is now known as BernardV [20:54] bdancer: or provide the source with a make file instead of a deb file [20:54] keith27: try ftp passive mode. At the ftp command line just do "passive" before you do anything else. [20:54] OrangePeel: oh, sorry, I have the memory of a goldfish (~8 seconds). I have had trouble burning a few files at different times (but was too lazy to figure outurnt it. As I said, this is a work around, and does nothing to fix your real problem. then bwhy). I never had a problem when I compressed the file(s) [20:55] keith27: the user is allowed to see the content? [20:55] Does 10.10 netbook install Grub2? If so, would installing the boot loader on my device drive where I already have a /boot do anything? === zero is now known as Guest68497 [20:55] After I convert everything from here to CD I'm going back to WIndow [20:55] pcfreak30: I just purged the version I have and reinstalled this version that I guess you have 86806720ddb7f21a484fea9526b4d79f avahi-autoipd_0.6.25-1ubuntu6.2_i386.deb that's the md5sum I just installed ok on my 10.04 === vivi_ is now known as honey_butter [20:55] iceroot, ok tnx anyway [20:56] OrangePeel: ##windows [20:56] mu: Hmm, well I would guess writing something boogus like "none" might work... [20:56] no [20:56] hello there [20:56] When I'm done burning all my data [20:56] I'll reformat than [20:56] It's just a drop-down box, arand [20:56] but I can't reformat now [20:56] OrangePeel: you have a support-question? [20:56] yes [20:56] Not for windows though [20:56] just complaining [20:56] stupid question but which file type is an executabel file, bin ? [20:57] or sh ? [20:57] what is the command for check all files kind of chmod & chown on a working system to able to apply on a broken system ? [20:57] iceroot: it was WAY earlier...problems burning video because he went to a porn site :) [20:57] mokeyD: depending on the file [20:57] mu: Hmm, well I guess you could just set it as the same partition that you are installing to. [20:57] mokeyD: "file filename" will tell you [20:57] Not because [20:57] OrangePeel, what is excatly is you complain? [20:57] I think it may have something to do with currupting files drc [20:57] mokeyD: try "file ", it will tell you what it is most of the time. [20:57] mu: So you already have another grub you are using? [20:57] arand: Well, what will happen if I install the bootloader to the same partition that I'm mounting / on? [20:57] mokeyD: but because its an executable "chmod +x) it does not say anything about, sh, bin, bash and so on [20:57] I can't seem to burn anything with the programs I have, it errors. [20:57] arand: Yeah, I'm installing Ubuntu alongside my installation of Arch [20:58] is there something like an exe in linux, that is what I mean ;) [20:58] but executable thigns may be either scripts (usually starting with #!/path/to/interpreter), or actual binaries. [20:58] mokeyD: .deb for debian and ubuntu [20:58] mokeyD: every file whoich is marked executable (chmod +x) [20:58] mokeyD: .rpm for some others [20:58] mokeyD: I think want to look up what ELF is [20:58] aeon-ltd: no [20:58] aeon-ltd: huh? [20:58] mu: Right, installing it to the ubuntu / would've make any diff I don't think... [20:58] do you have a link that describe that in detail ? [20:58] OrangePeel, what type of program is that an exe? or what.. [20:58] iceroot, drc : wut? [20:59] mokeyD: but exe files are binary files, executables files on linux can be everything, a binary, a shell script a jave-program and so on [20:59] mu: *will not affect currrent booting [20:59] and also ignore .deb and .rpm in this context :) [20:59] "man elf" has a pretty good account [20:59] oh sorry i misread [20:59] hi i have a problem when iopen the youtube the video doesnt work and it gives me a message "The following plug-in has crashed :Shockwave Flash" can any body help me to solve this problem?? [20:59] aeon-ltd: a deb is not like an exe, he was asking what is the difference between *.exe and execuatble on linux [20:59] yeah application not installers [20:59] I never had a problem before, they're Blue Ray MKV, I'm trying to make a data, it shouldn't matter as it's going to data. It says error.....THE programs are both Brasero, GnomeBaker. [20:59] i apologise for the false information [21:00] mu: Then you will need to update-grub in arch to pick up ubuntu, of course. [21:00] iceroot: aeon-ltd : well maybe, if the .exe on windows was a self extracting compressed file, i suppose [21:00] OrangePeel, as i know blue rays are large files, isn't it? [21:00] hi, would 2 x HD5770s in crossfire work ok in ubuntu64 ? [21:00] No, they can be dumbed down, and they're not movies. [21:00] arand: Yeah, I know [21:00] is there a link that describe all kind of executable files in linxu/ubuntu [21:01] hi evryone [21:01] mokeyD: what do you mean? [21:01] scriptwarlock they can be compressed, and they're not movies. [21:01] mokeyD: every file can be executable if you use chmod +x [21:01] I'm using Lucid and my machine is pretty unresponsive. From what I can tell, it seems to not be using enough memory for the disk cache, i.e. it never uses more than 500 MB for the cache, despite the fact that there's 1 GB worth of unused memory [21:01] OrangePeel, now that you compressed what happened? [21:01] mokeyD: it has nothing to do with the content [21:01] I never compressed anything [21:01] how could i recover passeword of wirless [21:01] I wonder if there's a program that tells me which files are corrupt or not. [21:02] hi [21:02] mandad: from the router or your pc? [21:02] well, like a programm, I mean like a bat or exe [21:02] Let me just say that I really like 10.10's install process. Really slick! [21:02] OrangePeel: md5 if you have the md5sum [21:02] md5sum ? [21:02] !md5 | OrangePeel [21:02] i.e. my problem seesm to be the exact opposite of the common "linux ate my RAM" typical newbie "problem" [21:02] OrangePeel: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [21:02] Pumpkin-: passive ftp hostname (command not found) [21:03] Question .. i want to connect with ssl with xchat .. do i just install openssl and close xchat and re-open and i should be good ? [21:03] * joeb_ ask in xchat2 also [21:03] anyway, I have to google more about that :) [21:03] from router [21:03] mokeyD: as i said, it can be a shell-script (bat) it can be a binary, i can be a bash-script, zsh-script, make-script and so on [21:03] keith27: I mean do ftp 1.2.3.4, then when you get the prompt ftp>, do "passive" [21:03] mokeyD: you can mark every file as executable, the common executables files are shell-script and python script [21:04] No idea on how to do that MD5 stuff, I don't have time heh [21:04] I'm having an issue with getting mod_rewrite to actually work.. is there something that I need to install specifically when I build the lampstack? [21:04] aeon-ltd from router [21:04] OrangePeel: maybe its a good idea to post your problem detailed in one line [21:04] OrangePeel: Are you trying to do an MD5 check from Windows or Linux? [21:04] what is the command for check all files kind of chmod & chown on a working system to able to apply on a broken system ? [21:05] OrangePeel: On Linux, `md5sum $file`; on Windows, I recommend HashTab (install, then right click > properties) [21:05] Linux, I guesss, I just want to see IF it's possible if some files are corrupt, and which ones aren't, It's weird though, not even Brasero or GnomeBaker will burn a data DVD. I know the DVDS are good [21:05] I have the mod_rewrite.so file in the modules, but when I install drupal it tells me I can't use rewrite [21:05] iceroot: see my pm regarding having access [21:05] Could someone tell me why none of my scripts in crontab are starting? http://pastebin.com/hmJgBa03 [21:06] starting with @reboot [21:06] how could i recover passeword of wirless , can someone help me [21:07] I've spent too much time downloading files and research to let it all go and reformat [21:07] hi i have a problem when iopen the youtube the video doesnt work and it gives me a message "The following plug-in has crashed :Shockwave Flash" can any body help me to solve this problem?? [21:07] mandad: reset your ap [21:07] mandad, is that your router? [21:07] mandad: if you have access to router, go to '192.168.0.1' '192.168.1.1' then it should be part of wireless settings [21:08] OrangePeel: So if I understand correctly, you are trying to burn some sort of movies or something on a disk but they seem to be corrupted? [21:08] hi guys, Ive got a problem, ubuntu is checking disk for errors every boot. Is that a problem? No errors were found, but some time ago it has got some errors on /home. Ive got one file in lost+found in /home. === Guest59853 is now known as ogra [21:08] Why when I ran do-release-upgrade, to upgrade from ubuntu server 9.04 to 10.04.02 LTS, my web server no longer displays files, but instead prompts for download? === b0ot is now known as Jinxed- [21:09] I'm not going to say it again, they're not movies, they're files. Period. [21:09] They're media videos, not movies, all nature preserve stuff [21:09] OrangePeel: Okay. Regardless. Mount the disc, and do a file integrity check with `md5sum` on both sets of files. [21:09] But yes mu, sorry to be a bit angry, when people think you're burning movies they turn you off, even when they're not. [21:10] Mount the disk ? I can't even get the files from my hard drive to the disk [21:10] the problem its that i don't know the login one [21:10] Well sorry for the confusion but I hadn't been paying attention. Okay... [21:10] Wait, what's mount the disk mean ? [21:10] mount the CD/DVD/whatever [21:11] But if you haven't it on the disk, then [21:11] It won't go on the disk, it errors [21:11] That's my problem heh [21:11] Specific errors? [21:11] I had it on pastebin [21:11] the problem its that i don't know the login one [21:11] Oh, I'll serarch for that [21:12] the router is an huwaii [21:12] mu http://paste.ubuntu.com/577574/ [21:12] I joined before you posted it, OrangePeel, could you post-- [21:12] Alright, a sec [21:12] It's something to do with the ISO , I tried to install it from terminal, it says I have it [21:13] OrangePeel: Line 94 is your problem [21:13] mandan, there are lots of tools to recover wifi password [21:13] ahh [21:13] Thank you mu, 1 sec [21:14] mu is it possible to clean those files, would possibly help ?or delete them [21:14] It's rather vague, though. You might try shortening the path to the file... i.e., rename the file to something simple and put it at $home or something [21:14] ok [21:15] anyone know how to use FireGPG? [21:15] the extension for Firefox? [21:15] does ubuntu support crossfire? [21:15] 1 sec, thank you mu === Larss is now known as Mermelada [21:16] hi guys, Ive got a problem, ubuntu is checking disk for errors every boot. Is that a problem? No errors were found, but some time ago it has got some errors on /home. Ive got one file in lost+found in /home. [21:16] negev, what is crossfire? a pc game? [21:16] no, two ati cards bridged together [21:16] OrangePeel: I thought you said earlier that your system genisoimage installed? (it's off my buffer) [21:16] why do you want that [21:16] pcfreak30: best try sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get --fix-missing install ;sudo apt-get -f install; if that fails see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure [21:16] what drc , terminal said I had genisoimage installed [21:16] negev, hehehe sorry thought it was a game [21:17] genisoimage seems to be installed; from the log file, however, it seems that the file he is pointing it to is missing [21:18] OrangePeel: Check to see if the file has improper characters... or, I don't know, something else that is odd about it. [21:18] mu, the corrupt file on line 94 or something else ? [21:18] alright [21:18] OrangePeel: Line 94: "No such file or directory." [21:18] OrangePeel: It then proceeds to print the path to the file it is trying to access... [21:19] a 75 mb /boot partition should be big enough for an ubuntu install right? [21:19] anyone know how to use FireGPG? [21:19] the extension for Firefox? [21:19] To me, it looks as though it shorts out on the path, which would be odd for a log file to do but I've no experience with Brasero [21:19] Why when I ran do-release-upgrade, to upgrade from ubuntu server 9.04 to 10.04.02 LTS, my web server no longer displays files, but instead prompts for download?

[21:28] Why would /boot be full with only ubuntu installed when I has a 75mb partition? [21:28] aliceleveque: What I would do is boot into a LiveCD and check your grub.cfg files et. all [21:28] in a fresh install i do su command and it ask for password ,,,, what password ? [21:28] mu: I will try that, thanks [21:29] harvi: It's not common, I guess there is a setting that changes the number of boots before it checks but maybe it got changed when it found an error in the past [21:29] <^Mike> My laptop currently uses the proprietary Broadcom wireless card driver. Is the source code Broadcom released just the source for that driver? [21:30] Why would /boot be full with only ubuntu installed when I has a 75mb partition?

By default SSH runs over TCP/IP port 22, which means that any malware bot autoscanning port 22 can target it. Changing the Ports directive to something different will make SSH run over a different, blocking some of those automated cracking attempts." what it says me to change?

[21:41] whats everyone favorite game on here? [21:42] sacarlson: you should use gksudo for nautilus if you wish to run it with elevated permissions [21:42] sacarlson, Usually I don't need it that often. For this I just use ALT+F2 and then "gksudo nautilus". Unfortunately, this time it was "sudo nautilus", and now the system is kind of messed up.... [21:43] bastidrazor: ya I like it and you are correct gksudo is what you should use in most cases, for me with no sudo password set eather way works [21:43] when I try to watch online vids fullscreen it goes blank and I have to restart to get it unstuck [21:44] Shade34321: Did you try running computer janitor?

[21:47] sizzlefire: no [21:47] sacarlson: No, it doesn't. The problem is, that now even if i reboot, all nautilus actions - when i start nautilus from the Locations bar above - are issued as root. [21:48] ibrahim_ for the most part if ive ever had that problem it seems to solve it [21:48] rww: i just saved the file and restarted ssh.. will now all my internet trafic be secret for other users on my wireless network? [21:48] sacarlson: hm... bad unmounts http://paste.ubuntu.com/577618/ [21:49] matahari: well right click it and change the command line back to not have gksudo and create a new one that does so you have both [21:50] I need Shockwave. [21:50] 11 doesn't work in WINE, 10 seems to, where can i download 10? [21:50] harvi: why would it not find swap? [21:50] sacarlson, I didn't create a custom launcher. It is a bar that is already in ubuntu. (i have the german version, here it is called "Orte"). It is the shortcut to all your Bookmarks and places like documents, desktop, home folder - in the upper left area. [21:51] why apt-get install realplay requires a lot of dep packages that are not automatically install? [21:52] because you should use apt-get install aptitude && aptitude install realplay ## Aptitude installs dependencies when apt-get doesnt [21:52] ok [21:53] you can use aptitude update, aptitude install, aptitude remove.... its like apt-get improved [21:53] matahari: I'm not familure with orte but you should be able to look at the what command is isued in the menu and change it as needed [21:53] sacarlson: UUID=fdf3dd9d-e4cb-4667-b07f-eba82ea61a56 none swap sw 0 0 ..... i think its not mounted [21:53] harvi: swap is never mounted [21:54] sacrarlson: then I dont know :( [21:55] sacarlson: I looked it up - in english it's "places". I don't know how to edit this menu.... [21:55] do I really need to `apt-get vlan` in order to use vlans? [21:55] apt-get install vlan even [21:55] matahari: just right click Places [21:56] harvi: but why isn't swap partition found? [21:56] I did it, but there in the menu-editor, I can't see Places [21:56] can anyone tell me what the glib c is for ubuntu server? [21:57] matahari: edit it while in nautilus. the right pane that shows Places [21:57] I dont know, I have it [21:57] jiffe98: I think that gives you things like vconfig and other tools to set up .1q tagging on your ethernet cards [21:57] I'm still able to modprobe 8021q fine though [21:58] its just not recognizing eth0.80 as a valid device [21:58] harvi: one method so see what disk uuid are seen is with ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/* also check sudo fdisk -l and see what disks are still working [21:58] jiffe98: what are you doing when it won't recognise the device ? [21:58] matahari: the menu editor is the editor for places [21:59] Pumpkin-: ifup eth0.80 [21:59] Pumpkin-: which I've added to /etc/network/interfaces [21:59] What does apt-get clean do?

[22:00] hehe [22:00] matahari: show me the package that points to what you installed when this started [22:00] Odaym: not unless I tell it to start [22:00] Can someone recommend a linux app that is similar to MS paint, just for simple crappy edits or drawings -- lightweight and simple [22:00] NetPaint [22:00] kbrush? [22:00] I'll go look those up [22:00] Is Ubuntu One working? I can't seem to make an account. [22:01] sacarlson: It was no package. It was just issuing in ALT+F2: "sudo nautilus" [22:01] gordonjcp: I believe it is by adding: autospawn=no to ~/.pulse/client.conf [22:01] sudo here is configured passwordless [22:01] trism: aha [22:01] jiffe98: its been a while since I've used vlans on Debian/Ubuntu, but when I did it involved vconfig to setup tagging the ethX.YY interfaces. I guess you do need the userspace tools contained in the vlan package. [22:01] trism: why on earth would it ever be set to autospawn? [22:01] matahari: ok then just close it [22:01] How do i prove I'm human on this Ubuntu One feature? I've been trying for a good 20 minutes to make an account? [22:02] sacarlson, It is closed and i rebootet my laptop 3 times since then [22:02] Pumpkin-: hmm, well that sucks if I need vlans to get it online :\ [22:02] Israfel, that you're human? [22:02] sacarlson: I think they're working http://paste.ubuntu.com/577624/ [22:02] gordonjcp: used to crash often? I don't know [22:02] trism: seems to be working so far [22:02] Israfel, check my PM [22:02] matahari: well every time you do f2 and that command it will repeat [22:03] ok i just found a major security hole in Ubuntu... where should i go to report this? [22:03] blkdg, it keeps telling me Wrong Captcha solution. [22:04] fis-whats the hole [22:04] sacarlson, But it also repeats it when i just open a directory using the "Places" Menu. That is the strange thing. On the desktop it opens nautilus as a normal user. Using the Places-Menu it opens it as root. [22:04] harvi: ok this is your swap uuid that seems to exist fdf3dd9d-e4cb-4667-b07f-eba82ea61a56 is that what /etc/fstab looks for? [22:05] Israfel, maybe the server is down? try later?

[22:40] Wow, I never come to #ubuntu. Easy questions so far. I'm on a roll. === coach is now known as pit_coach [22:41] when i start a game in wine, all i am getting is the default blue screen window, also, i cannot find the config file to set disk and ram size etc etc [22:42] anyone here use miredo? firefox is not using the tunnel, stuck :( [22:42] sacarlson: still errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/577641/ ..... formated, changed UUID, gparted says that swap is active, i can see it in system monitor too [22:42] magpiie :try virtualbox is way better [22:42] magpiie, "winecfg"? [22:42] sacarlson, tried, gets stuck on unpacking still [22:43] sacarlson: maybe swap didnt cause this, but bad unmounts of root and /home ..... [22:44] cardinalfang< thanks, i couldnt see the config window because it was on another desktop already, my bad. [22:44] General question. The video card in my self built desktop that's been running great for a few years now, is taking a dump. It was a PNY nVidia card (not sure which one anymore) and worked great with 10.10. Any suggestions for a new one? [22:44] guys, a question: i installed 10.10 on a laptop, p4, 512 RAM. integrated graphics. can i just put the hard drive in a dektop sized i3 with 4gigs RAM without too much difficulties? [22:44] Laters, all. [22:45] DECA< i have tried vertualbox but it wont read the vista disk in the cd rom drive [22:45] harvi: but it still boots? [22:45] How can I tell the filesystem type of an external harddrive? [22:45] sacarlson: yes, still checkdisk on boot [22:46] pcfreak30: but what were the results of what I asked? [22:46] sacarlson, i ran through all the commands and they did fine, but whn it came to installing it just hung again. [22:46] pcfreak30: did this run clean? sudo dpkg --configure -a [22:46] does ubuntu have a software Raid 1 [22:46] ? [22:47] sizzlefire, Look at the output of sudo fdisk -l while it is connected [22:47] anyone tell me what verison i need for ubuntu 10.04 -- http://www.over-look.com/site/index.php/download [22:47] Guest5445: I have done something similar in the past and it adapted fine. Of course, a fresh install with Ubuntu is not so bad either. [22:47] wow, FF4 is a bit crazy [22:47] sizzlefire, Or look at it in gparted if you have that installed [22:47] how do you fix the missing menu and status bar in Firefox 4? [22:47] sacarlson, yes that only "Processing triggers for man-db " [22:47] magpie : u have to set the disk for the cd at the settings panel [22:47] joatmon54, good to know. [22:47] thank you [22:48] pcfreak30: that's not clean then [22:48] Kyle_ http://www.over-look.com/site/index.php/fing-download-linux (choose 32 bit or 64 bit) [22:48] I have ubuntu already setup on one drive and i want to mirror Raid1 ontol a 2nd bigger drive no changes will be made so a one time copy is good enough [22:48] edbian: I don't, its just been refusing to take file permissions, each time I change them it says it successfully does but doesn't, i was figuring it was due to the filesystem type, but its NTFS [22:49] pcfreak30: if that wasn't clean then what did this return? sudo apt-get --fix-missing install [22:49] sizzlefire, Look at sudo fdisk -l (yeah that sounds probable, ntfs does not support permissions in windows versions before 7) [22:49] is there a way to update the ubuntu kernal without a full reboot (leaving some services on)? or is that wishful thinking because everything runs off it [22:49] help! how to mount a partition into some temp folder? [22:49] sacarlson, if i do that, it will just once again hang on unpacking. [22:50] edbian, I did, but even if windows doesnt support permissions, does ubuntu? [22:50] pcfreak30: ok and the last? [22:50] pcfreak30: ? sudo apt-get -f install [22:50] ika [22:50] sizzlefire, It's actually NTFS that supports permissions or not. The version of NTFS that xp and vista use does not support permissions. The version that windows 7 uses does support permissions [22:51] sacarlson, it does the same [22:51] okay so i setup the drive on a windows 7 computer [22:51] phoenixsampras, ls /dev/sda* ; sudo cp /dev/sdaX /tmp/sdaX ? [22:51] and its now hooked up to a ubuntu computer [22:51] pcfreak30: best you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [22:51] sizzlefire, Now you're in territory that I do not have memorized [22:52] phoenixsampras: If you want to see contents of /dev/sdb3 for instance under mountpoint of /tmp then: sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /tmp [22:52] sacarlson, http://pastie.org/private/od0eqlv5zilm2d15l9fg [22:52] sizzlefire, It sounds like maybe the 'root' on the Ubuntu system is not the same 'root' on the windows system. Who owns the files according to Ubuntu? Who owns the files according to Windows 7? [22:53] edbian: according to ubuntu the files are owned by the user robert in group robert [22:53] Hi all === manca_ is now known as nafisa [22:54] my mouse wheel keeps stopping working at random times...I have to unplug and replug the mouse for it to work...anything I can do? [22:54] CardinalFang: I got it! I was using IP addresses instead of fqdn's so TLS was puking on me [22:54] sizzlefire, are you robert? What are the permissions? 777 ? [22:54] i have here a lenovo z460 pc with a Intel HD Audio G45 DEVIBX,and my mic input (external mic,from a cable) doesnt work [22:54] my internal mic works [22:54] any tip? [22:55] angelox_123: check you have it selected under sound preference [22:55] Hey, I'm trying to get wine on a 64 bit operating system can anyone help me? [22:55] edbian: I am robert, and the permissions are 700, and if I try to change them, they just revert back to 700 [22:55] is there a command line bases gui for mysql? or is this wishful thinking? [22:56] How do I delete completely (purge off the HD) some previous kernels? I have about 10 old ones now. [22:56] Jake2|cfl: uninstall them via synaptic.. search for linux-image [22:57] how the hell do i install gdm themes? [22:57] !language | sedeki [22:57] sedeki: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:57] mickster04: there's no options on the sound preferences [22:57] sizzlefire, It's probably going by UID not by username. Try changing the permissions to 777 in windows then come back to ubuntu and see if you can change them (or do things to the files) [22:57] only internal audio analog... [22:57] there is no theme manager in Administration -> Login screen [22:57] only that [22:57] all guides says there is, but there is none [22:57] bastidrazor: aren't there other things like linux-headers etc etc too? [22:58] sedeki, you may want to check out http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [22:58] Jake2|cfl: you can select to 'completely remove' to get everything associated with a specific kernel [22:58] I use it to change some aspects of my login screen [22:58] edbian: I can already do things to the files, its only encountering errors when im trying to allow apache to access [22:58] :) [22:58] bastidrazor: ok thx [22:58] then this happens: http://files3.llarchive.com [22:58] pcfreak30: try killall man; apt-get reinstall man-db [22:58] i tried edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but nothing [22:58] take a breath [22:58] open the window [22:59] sizzlefire, mmm, I see. Yeah try changing them in windows and see what happens [22:59] bastidrazor: oh, and this purges--not just "uninstalls" but leaves the files? [22:59] and look if your computer have wingd [22:59] sacarlson, killall man; apt-get reinstall man-db [22:59] hey guys I have a problem with network-manager it shows full signal bars for all of my wifi networks in the area with the stock wifi module in the eee pc 901, but if I plug in any other wifi adapter it shows the signal strength [22:59] sacarlson, ugg [22:59] edbian: alright i will, thatll take a minute cause i gotta move it lol [22:59] sacarlson, E: Invalid operation reinstall [22:59] hey ubuntu my login is set on automatic and when my session logs in, i am asked twice to unlock the key ring. anyway i can make it only ask me once? [22:59] sizzlefire, For what it's worth you're doing the right thing by changing the permissions [23:00] bonsoir [23:00] Jake2|cfl: completely remove will not leave any file. you will be given a list of files to be removed. [23:01] bastidrazor: just what I want to do. tx [23:01] that's gsick [23:01] jhi guys, I have a test question for a little assestment, could help me!!???

[23:01] hey guys I have a problem with network-manager it shows full signal bars for all of my wifi networks in the area with the stock wifi module in the eee pc 901, but if I plug in any other wifi adapter it shows the signal strength [23:02] all i am getting when i open a game in wine is a blue screen, can someone advise? I have tried with direct 3d pixel shader selected and not selected but still the same issue [23:02] pcfreak30: I normaly use synaptic [23:02] edbian: yeah, i figured [23:03] xrdodrx, no ubuntu tweak did not help at all. was it a bad joke? all i want is to install a gdm theme [23:04] pcfreak30: oh and now I found this deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org maverick main that's not lucid [23:04] nobody for my question?? [23:04] pcfreak30: so I'm not sure how much damage that can cause [23:04] djobbito: maybe trying ##networking [23:04] and for me question? [23:04] sedeki, err, no, it wasn't a bad joke. You can use it to change your login screen's background and your icon.

[23:05] pcfreak30: in most cases you should NOT mix version and if you do just do it on a single app and remove the repository to keep from breaking things in the future [23:06] Can someone recommend a linux app that is similar to MS paint, just for simple crappy edits or drawings -- lightweight and simple [23:06] I asked this already but I couldn't find the two suggested [23:06] Irreducibilis: gpaint [23:06] sedeki, Startup > Login Settings [23:07] ok, the game is now working in wine, but all i am getting is memmory errors now, advise please?

[23:08] pcfreak30: I'm also not sure what this is deb http://badgerports.org lucid main what apps does that bring in? [23:09] sacarlson, oh that was mono/monodevelop [23:09] I have "Intel Corp. Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev05)" Device ID 840b, and it does not attach to any kernel modules. Is there a way I can force this to use snd-hda-intel kernel module?

[23:14] I'm not sure [23:14] how can i check? [23:14] amh345: If you login with ssh and try 'touch my_file' does it work or give you a permission denied?

[23:15] Nope, i don't seem to have it. [23:15] BernardV: the file doesnt exist on the server yet. [23:15] casey, make:aptitude install fusion-icon [23:15] amh345: I know, but do you have write permissions on the server? [23:15] casey, with sudo [23:15] BernardV: Touch my_file returns a new line [23:15] pcfreak30: well from what I see it seems it should be harmless but it seems you didn't follow the instructions? with this https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en it showed you deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main meaning replace with yours in this case lucid [23:15] djobbito: #networking [23:15] this is probably a dumb question . i installed two dependencies that where .deb files .. i lost the .deb files .. i see the dependancies in my system .. there a way to back them up in case i need to reinstall or should i just to download the .debs again ? [23:16] it said command not found [23:16] so I would literally type sudo aptitude install fusion-icon [23:16] amh345: And if correct there is a file created with the name my_file [23:16] casey, yes [23:16] or am i mistaken? [23:16] what do you mean by ##networking [23:16] hmmmmm [23:16] didn't work for some reason? [23:16] let me try again [23:16] Anyone know how to reset the wlan0 address if i replaced/removed it through ifconfig (Xubuntu 10.04 LTS) ? [23:16] ok [23:16] BernardV: oh, neat. yes. my_File was createrd [23:17] yeah it didn't work :( [23:17] noscript4i: ip address? [23:17] amh345: ok, then you have write permissions :) You can delete this file [23:17] casey, do:sudo aptitude update [23:17] erUSUL, i used a "ifconfig wlan0 add ...." and it failed that way [23:17] ok, i'll try that :) [23:17] to connect to the accesspoint [23:17] I want to install KDE Desktop Environment, I'm in the Synaptic Package Manager, but there's 3 different fields with bunches of packages in each one. Which one is it? [23:17] BernardV: but i still cant scp :( [23:17] djobbito: That's a bit of an off-topic question for the ubuntu chatroom, the networking room would be more suited to your question. [23:17] noscript4i: you want iwconfig [23:17] it said command not found [23:17] noscript4i: usually you get it via dhcp fro the Access point [23:17] pcfreak30: so maybe fix that and try again [23:17] amh345: And are you sure you have read permissions on the local file and have the rights to execute scp ? [23:18] noscript4i: sudo dhclient wlan0 [23:18] casey, you installed ubuntu when? [23:18] tom23342: simply install the package 'kubuntu-desktop' [23:18] erUSUL, i wish i knew that before i reinstalled =/ [23:18] I installed it about a week ago. [23:18] oh well XD [23:18] so it's the newest version. [23:18] casey, and it works? [23:18] Works fine for me. [23:18] No problems i can think of. [23:18] noscript4i: why not use network manager? [23:18] thks... actually I am trying to find the networking chat room, I cant find it [23:18] casey, you update the system? [23:18] Other than being incredibly slow with dock programs. [23:19] I just did an update today actually. [23:19] BernardV: i have permissions. tried sudo as well. still getting Permission Deneid. [23:19] djobbito: should just be able to type /join #networking [23:19] Ampelbein, thankyou [23:19] I got it tks [23:19] :) [23:19] erUSUL, im not that smart at times... i tried to put a "set" IP address, but did not know that it wouldnt work anymore....

[23:27] chmod'ed? [23:27] ok i have a .deb right i did a dpkg --extract file.deb .. i don't see the dependancies in there .. how does ubuntu know where to locate the dependancies [23:27] sudo chmod 777 the .exe file so it can be ran [23:27] joeb_: for the 2nd day in a row.. dpkg does not know. [23:27] magpiee_: chmod +x /home//.wine/drive_c/etc etc etc [23:28] hello all! [23:28] bastidrazor- apt does though right ? [23:28] the game starts up, the menu screen appears, i click play, the indro video will play fully, but as soon as the login char screen tries to start, i get the error messages [23:28] bastidrazor- im just reading a lot of guides and stuff .. my bad trying to sort out everything so i don't have to ask again [23:28] direct 3d is enabled [23:28] joeb_: you have the answer that question as well. [23:28] how can one tell which version of mysql I'm running using a command in a shell? [23:29] mysql -v [23:29] magpiie_: that sounds like one of the database files for the game has incorrect permissions. I would check the owner of the files. (or do a sweeping change.. chown -R /home//.wine) [23:29] or mysql and help [23:29] magpiie_: what is the error exactly?? [23:30] Hi. Can i install ubuntu to my external HDD and use it on another machine with no problems ? [23:30] gimme a sec, i will put a link up with the error message [23:30] What's the difference between GDM and KDM Environments? [23:30] magpiie: also which version of wine?? [23:30] kdm is for KDE [23:31] gdm is for GNOME [23:31] basically [23:31] Ah, thanks. [23:32] wine 1.2.2 is the version, this is a link to the terminal error codes that come up http://codepad.org/VbAgc2QN [23:33] can i atleast get a yes or no to my question ? =) [23:33] I have been using LDAP+NFS4 for over a year now. Now at 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu idmapd has stopped doing name to id translations. rpc.idmapd -vvv -f (with verbose=10 in idpmapd.conf) does not show anything happening. How the heck do I debug this darn idmapd? [23:34] theprototype: If you installed it on an external drive (I will assume USB) you can boot form it as long as the BIOS for the host computer allows booting to a USB drive. [23:34] magpiie_: have you tried to reload your drivers for your graphics card? also is it ATI?? [23:34] anyone happen to know what port ps3mediaserver listens on for web config? === captn-brb is now known as captnmorgen [23:35] Travk Thanks. I guessed as much. Now will ubuntu work with different hardware that was used at the time of installation ? [23:35] searching: thanks! [23:35] not sure, its an asus laptop, how do i re load drivers? the graphics card is working fine, i followed the steps on the wow ubuntu site. bare with me though, i am only recently on board the ubuntu train [23:36] theprototype: I did something similar once, it seemed to work fairly well; I had a few issues with audio drivers, but Ubuntu was able to retrieve the proper kernel modules and I was up and running. [23:36] sam555 ok [23:36] oops wrong window sorry :) [23:37] Travk Sounds workable. Only reason i ask is because i installed Backtrack 4 (Which is what i would like to use) to my external, and it messed up GRUB to where i could only boot in to windows. Ubuntu was in quotations for some reason... even unplugging the external didn't help [23:38] theprototype: how about maybe or probubly, I've installed ubuntu loader on usb flash and it has worked on many systems [23:38] theprototype, perhaps you should learn to use ubuntu and linux better before going for a specialized distro [23:38] magpiie: let me suggest something, maybe you should update wine to 1.3.6 and try to reinstall WoW with that version, seems that I'm finding alot of issues with the older wine, I use 1.3.6 to run starcraft2 [23:38] theprototype: If unplugging it didn't work it sounds like grub's boot loader was installed onto the physical hard drive not the portable one. [23:39] hi, i have a realtek 8191SEvB I was wondering if there is a way to get this card to do monitor mode correctly or not?? when I put it in to monitor mode it says wlan0 reset or mon0: fatal , not sure why or how I can get monitor to work [23:39] needlez< cheers mate, will try it now thanks [23:39] madfox i agree. but i also think that jumping in to the water is the best way to learn how to swim, thanks. [23:40] Anybody have suggestions on how to debug nfs4/rpc.idmapd? I'm getting nothing but nobodies even though rpc.idmapd is running on both client and server and it was working recently but has now stopped working. [23:40] theprototype, and yet security isn't like water :P [23:40] magpiie_: np, and if that fails come back and let me know what the issues are with the other wine, and ill see what else i can do [23:40] cheers [23:40] madfox yet reading in between the lines would've gave clues that i wasn't talking about water [23:40] theprototype: I like to try them all but on virtualbox in most cases [23:41] theprototype, same to you [23:42] sacarlson i have. backtrack 4 in a virtual enviro gives me issues with my RTL8187L drivers (turns it off) so i want to install to HDD [23:42] i'll switch it up since bt is off topic [23:42] hey guys i changed my plymouth logo in ubuntu lucid now when it boots it starts than goes blank how do i fix this [23:43] madfox but yea, thats why i want to triple boot Win7, Ubuntu, and BT4, ubuntu is for newbies, BT4 is more advanced, i want to play with both. Can't blame me for that =) [23:44] hey guys i changed my Plymouth logo in Ubuntu lucid now when it boots it starts than goes blank how do i fix this [23:44] !splash | hiexpo [23:45] hiexpo: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [23:45] Travk that makes perfect sense. So when i install ubuntu to my external. When i choose the advanced install option, and it asks me about mount points, i should set the /boot to the external HDD to fix my issue, correct ?? [23:45] oh itflashes the plymouth but no log in screen [23:45] hiexpo: what did you use to change the plymouth boot screen?? [23:45] !plymouth | hiexpo [23:45] hiexpo: Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:45] theprototype, I can considering bt was meant for people who already know what they are doing, not for people who are just learning :P [23:46] madfox yea well computer are meant for people that have half a brain but 99 percent of the world has one, dont they [23:46] needlez, i used the the command > shoot don't rem but selected number 8 [23:46] anyone know of a free fax from the internet service? [23:47] trying to install with out a cdrom drive. everything goes fine until the installer pops this error : incorrect cdrom detected. i have tried the f6 esc to enter the extra param but i dont think im doing it in the right place... anyone able to help? [23:47] madfox besides, if it comes preloaded with the type of pentesting software it does, it actually is good for a newbie, because they dont have to go through the trouble of compiling, installing, etc [23:47] theprototype, no computers were meant to do useful work with varying degrees of sophistication to match the need [23:47] i just don't get login now [23:47] remlabm: what are you trying to install from usb? [23:47] ubuntu 10.04 server [23:47] http://www.gsick.com/gnome/ [23:47] is there something better than ssh-agent for managing your public/private keys? [23:48] theprototype, compiling and installing is better for the newbie then having everything pre-built [23:48] hiexpo: I would suggest you go install plymouth manager and do it that way, to get back your screen, I don't remember why but i kno that I couldn't use the command to actually change the boot screen [23:48] remlabm: verify the iso with md5sum and make sure you didn't get a derped file [23:48] madfox this is the stupidest debate i've ever had. if you have a problem with people asking questions on a newbie level and you want to make comments about it, make a channel for it [23:48] like what if I have lots of different servers, and I have a different pair of keys for each server [23:48] k will redownload [23:48] Does anybody have a pointer to a channel that would have information on debugging NFS4/rpc.idmapd issues (running under ubuntu) [23:48] theprototype: hey what is the problem your having?? [23:48] needlez, i did it that way but now i cant get login screen to fix it so how do i fix it now can't log in it [23:48] remlabm: no need to redouwnload but I would verify the one you have [23:48] can virtualbox run a 64bit guest on a 32bit host? [23:49] hiexpo: you could hold shift when it boots and boot into recovery then reload gdm login [23:49] ok thanks needlez i will try [23:49] kk [23:49] madfox i originally asked if i could install ubuntu to an external without having issues, and mentioned i originally tried BT4 on the usb external and it messed my GRUB options up, even after unplugging. Travk informed me this was most likely because the /boot was set to the internal HDD instead of the External [23:50] theprototype, no need to get all madders, simply stating your problem would easily be fixed if you focused your energy in a better direction first :P [23:50] histo: md5 checks fine [23:50] hmm, smuxi seems to want to autojoin me to this! interesting.. [23:51] yuskhanzab, [23:51] remlabm: there shouldn't be a cdrom error. can you verify the md5 of the thumbdrive you put it on [23:51] !md5 | remlabm [23:51] remlabm: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:52] I'm back [23:52] aguitel [23:52] madfox my direction, ATM, is learning aircrack. it comes preinstalled on BT4 and works well with it. Works on ubuntu as well with IW installed, but thats not the point. You assumed i was getting ahead of myself. [23:52] how do i send you a message personally lol [23:52] needlez i originally asked if i could install ubuntu to an external without having issues, and mentioned i originally tried BT4 on the usb external and it messed my GRUB options up, even after unplugging. Travk informed me this was most likely because the /boot was set to the internal HDD instead of the External [23:53] theprototype, you are getting ahead of youreself, your point? [23:53] hey guys few guys from #ubuntu send me here [23:54] ok, another problem when i download the wine 1.3 zip file, it is not showing up in my downloads folder, even though that is the place it is downloading too. How do i view hidden files and folders? i did it once but have forgotton how :( [23:54] to #ubuntu? [23:54] madfox are u here to help or get the chip off your shoulder? get it off or help, its annoying, considering u don't know anything about my previous knowledge of computers or networking =) [23:54] Benn, awesome :) [23:54] yeah [23:54] magpiie: it varies from file manager to fm, but its usually in 'view' [23:54] theprototype, you said you were just learning, all I really need to know. [23:54] well i am using windows and ubuntu and the sound is not working in none of those operating systems... [23:55] theprototype: your should just try to run it ubuntu, it will be easier, but either way youll need to install a different version of aircrack-ng the svn version. The reason for this is that there is an issue which assigns the mon0 interface to channel -1 which wont allow you to monitor or do injection, so youll need that modified version which allows for --ignore -negative-one. [23:55] made no sense why you would need to know that, but ok... [23:55] Hello all. I'm testing Firefox 4 on Maverick (downloaded at Mozilla, no PPA) and fonts are not properly anti-aliased. Anybody know a fix ? Thanks. [23:56] theprototype, I didn't need it, but it's all I need to know about youre previous knowledge and experience. [23:56] theprototype: you could run bt4 but it has the old version of aircrack-ng in it with the -1 issue from what I remember thats why I use ubuntu [23:56] can anyone help me use ecryptfs-migrate-home -u USER for an existing user? [23:56] ok i see the problem, for some reason it has downloafded to a folder called download and not to the downloads folder, i dont get how, but when i right click on the open downloads window in firefox, it sends me to the download folder and not the downloads folder [23:56] needlez yea i've solved the channel problem. i just want to know how to get ubuntu on my external without it effing up the GRUB on my internal. I'm guessing to fix that, apply the /boot to my external? [23:57] hey guys I have a problem. I did my system upgrades to keep my system up to date, and now my flash player messes up. It crashes a lot, and the videos are orange/red when they should be normal. Can I remove this version of flash and install the one I had earlier? [23:57] myyy sound is not working [23:57] why?? [23:57] Benn: what application? [23:57] !sound | Benn [23:57] Benn: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [23:57] needlez yea, using ubuntu is how i fixed the -1 channel issue [23:58] ok i got back in needlez here is what i did to change it installed plymouth in repos first than ran this command sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and picked the logo i wanted [23:58] can anyone help me use ecryptfs-migrate-home -u USER for an existing user? [23:58] than had that prob [23:59] Thankss!!i will check it out!! [23:59] theprototype: not sure, you could add the externel drives mount point to fstab, then give it like a real area to mount to, or you could just install it and give it a boot point in / or something like that, not really sure since I run only one system [23:59] ZombieRamen, did you by chance read this? http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs
