Anyone have any idea why either GRUB didn't install so I can't boot into ubuntu? [00:30] n0a1ias: do 'apt-cache search ' (here ncurses) and you'll get a list of packages - two tips: the right package might begin with 'lib' as in 'libncurses' and often the needed package for building from source ends in '-dev' [00:30] n0a1ias: make doesn't work that way. === captn-brb is now known as captnmorgen [00:30] thanks yeats [00:31] Narc: that appears to be an issue. i just read if you uncheck 'allow websites to use their own fonts' it looks better. just a work-around tho [00:32] n0a1ias, sudo apt-get install flex libncurses5-dev [00:32] is Tor the best choice to protect or hide yourself from network or secure it [00:32] ?

[00:33] evening all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using network manager with an openvpn server? [00:33] connecting to one, I mean [00:34] I installed network-manager-openvpn-gnome to let me config it, but it doesn't seem to work with DNS forwarding [00:34] NicholasRoge: Most likely grub *did* get installed, but to a different drive than the one you're booting from. [00:34] NicholasRoge: Try changing the boot order in the BIOS. [00:34] so I can't look up any hostnames [00:34] disconnect and it's fine [00:34] Narc: http://irc.mozilla.org/ [00:35] keith27: Well, I just wanted to have a taste of it. It's faster and there's more screen space. Not really a big issue. Just kinda sad :) [00:35] also, KVpnc will connect and do DNS just fine [00:35] keith27: Oh, I'll try there. [00:35] i have a backup.000 bakup.001 and backup.002 files i need to restore these files but havent got a clue how? [00:35] but it'd be nice to get it working in Network Manager [00:35] keith27: Thanks [00:35] what program on python can i write code and it wont interpret it automatically like in terminal? [00:36] meowski, I guess you need an IDE [00:36] wooaahh, that was a typo. i mean, ubuntu now python. [00:37] not* [00:38] meowski, you need to write python programs in Ubuntu ? Am I correct ? [00:38] how can i get the volume control back in the taskbar [00:38] nono, i want to write C programs (i typed python cause i read something that said python) but i dont want them to be interpreted automatically (like terminal does) [00:39] keith27: run "gnome-volume-control-applet" [00:39] sougata_ [00:39] keith27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470635 [00:39] meowski, but C is not a interpreted language [00:39] how can I cp all the files in a directory to another directory without copying the directory? [00:39] b0ng01: cp directory/* otherdirectory/ [00:40] meowski, you can use vim [00:40] or emacs [00:40] b0ng01: does the destination folder already exist and contain data?

[00:41] trollboy: dell [00:41] whats the command to make a task run as a process? nohup? [00:41] meowski, go to your terminal and type gedit & [00:42] ActionParsnip, grudgingly or recommended? [00:42] Good morning! [00:42] copy paste the code, then use gcc to compile the code [00:42] keith27: add an ampersand at the end when you run it. If you are launching the volume app, do it in an ALT+F2 dialouge [00:42] keith27: that question doesn't make any sense [00:42] trollboy: i like dell, millions also do, millions also don't [00:42] sougata_ i can write the C programs there then run them on terminal? [00:43] I'm moving my home office to a real office, but need a machine that I can geek on here at home [00:43] trollboy: HP seem to be preinstalling SuSe: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/hp-debuts-probook-laptops-with-preinstalled-suse-linux/3732 [00:43] hola [00:43] thank you. excuse my incorrect terminology [00:43] meowski, I think I don't follow you correctly . [00:45] If you need an IDE instead of running it in the terminal, you can use anjuta. [00:45] ActionParsnip: it didn't work form an alt+f2 but it did from terminal. i also added it back to startup applications. thank you [00:45] I have a 03-08 19:24 ERROR root: [Errno 13] Permission denied error with WUBI [00:46] sougata_, im reading a book on hacking.

[00:48] alright, thanks [00:49] meowski, terminal does not runs your code automatically . Unless you invoke it yourself [00:49] ActionParsnip: I burned the Natty Alpha 2 ISO to a DVD+R, opened WUBI, and clicked "Install inside Windows" it froze about halfway through the installation inside Windows. I never left Windows [00:50] that's the problem ;-) You have to leave windows ;-) *SCNR* [00:51] sougata_ everything i press enter to start a new line, it gives a response though..

[01:09] yes, it would seem so [01:09] gueriLLaPunK: iptraf is MUCH more detailed, it shows connection streams, but it's also much harder to use [01:09] yeah, i just need to know how fast im sending and receiving. [01:10] ok [01:10] btw there are little tools for windows managers like fluxbox that show your constant rate of net use but I don't know any off the top of my head [01:10] because the website im using doesnt provide a progress bar with speed so i dont know how fast im uploading [01:10] need help restoring gparted image [01:11] sougata_, what are those instructions for? [01:11] meowski, you should first compile your program and then run it.

(i rename them with udev.d out of scope of question). ultimately i want them to be in the state they would be with 'ifconfig usb-NIC1 0.0.0.0 up' [01:14] Ziber: common cause is services not running === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Lap_dragon [01:14] ActionParsnip: hm? [01:14] need help restoring partimage image [01:14] it becomes tiresome to continually find parts of my network dying because usb nics unplug and plug back in =( [01:14] php doesnt 'run' and apache, which does, is. [01:14] basically, does Ubuntu have the same registry issues that Windows has, that the registry keeps growing and eventually slows down the system? [01:14] sougata_, what do you mean? [01:15] Lone-ranger: linux doesnt have a registry, its more advanced [01:15] Ziber: try asking a proper question with some details rather than ambigiousity.

[01:21] sougata_: i know but how [01:21] python code, urllib2 [01:21] i want only files in root folder not in other folders [01:21] Ziber: there are possibly hundreds of things it can be. If you provide even basic information you narrow the possibilities down drastically, like the detail you just give is hugely helpful and will help others rather than some vague nothingness. I'd bear it in mind in future question [01:21] can I list directories ? [01:22] ActionParsnip: Alright. Based on my specifying it, what are some of your ideas for narrowing it down further? [01:22] dejan_: yes [01:22] muelli: how [01:22] Ziber: by "any page with HTML + PHP only shows the HTML" do you mean that you actually see php code as html when you visit the page? === Guest5417 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest70079 [01:23] jrib: No, it just doesnt display what it is supposed to.

[01:25] dejan_: There is no way to deterministically list "directories" of a website. What does that mean anyway.... [01:25] bilal_: ask and see [01:25] i tried unmount [01:25] it does not recognize that command [01:25] ActionParsnip: No, based on the assumption (and past experience) that channel is geared towards coding, is it not? [01:25] KGBWolf: umount [01:26] KGBWolf: not unmount [01:26] Ziber: is libapache2-mod-php5 installed? What php* files are in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/? Are they broken links?

[01:48] landingonwater_, sudo lshw -C network [01:48] ;) [01:49] blackrock: system -> administration -> additonal drivers [01:49] how do i configure a hard drive to come up as a particular device; e.g. i want the first drive i ever installed to remain at /dev/sda, not jump to /dev/sdd after i install more drives. [01:49] trollboy: http://www.system76.com/ [01:49] trollboy: why not just see which laptops accept linux installs well and buy that, rather than one preinstalled [01:50] berto-: i assume you're having issues with fstab not seeing it correctly.. use UUID's instead. it will negate which /device it is seen as. [01:50] resno: you mean "Hardware Drivers"? It has no driver info there [01:50] PCI (sysfs) [01:50] ??? [01:51] and then it dissappears. [01:51] blackrock: what version? [01:51] can you run debian unstable in an ubuntu chroot? [01:51] tensorpudding: unlikely [01:51] bluetooth turns on though when i hit the wifi switch. so the hardware is there alright :S [01:51] installing a vm seems like a terrible terrible waste of space [01:51] or maybe thats just the bluetooth hardware ? [01:52] bastidrazor: no, i'm just pedantic and it's annoying the hell out of me that my root drive is /dev/sdd. [01:52] resno: it's lucid [01:52] landingonwater_, are you using hp pavillion ?

[01:56] Yes, and lets try to get the wifi working [01:56] brb [01:56] No, wine is the best linux software for running window's executable files [01:56] if wine has already been installed, just double click to setup.exe of windows [01:56] Ziber: yes, I asked earlier if userdir module is enabled [01:57] landingonwater_, install the bcmwl-kernel-source package [01:57] sougata_: okay [01:57] Fishraper: there is cedega and crossover office [01:57] I'm using the netbook version of ubuntu, doesn't seem to be pre-installed.

I mean USB going into this ubuntu netbook, and serial going to a different device [02:00] landingonwater_, you should have all standard repositories enabled and update them [02:01] landingonwater_, source code included [02:01] sougata_: what about b43 and b43-fwcutter ? should i uninstall those ?

[02:27] !compiz | aroman [02:27] aroman: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [02:27] akt: you can have seperate partitions in ubuntu and they can be mounted to folder so will be seamless. The default install just has one big partition for everything [02:27] should i create a separate partitions for it.. what should i do??? [02:27] Logan_: what was the point of that? [02:27] akt: if you wish, sure [02:27] aroman: support is in #compiz [02:27] Logan_: and here [02:27] ... [02:27] :x [02:27] <[FTW]Landimal> alt-f2 run: chromium-browser - no luck, trying the udatedb thing [02:27] thanks man... which do u think is a good chat client [02:28] yeah this is an ubuntu thing, not a compiz thing really [02:28] ActionParsnip: I think it's ok to redirect people to another channel on Freenode, at least [02:28] especially if an active one exists [02:28] it's ubuntu not playing nice with compiz. though interestingly, I already asked in #compiz and they told me to come here [02:28] Logan_: sure so they can ask as well but the apps are supported here also [02:29] aroman: how do you mean "aren't being excluded"? [02:29] ActionParsnip: you know how in compiz [02:29] when you switch desktops (not the 3D cube), gnome-panel is excluded from the parts of the screen that are animated? [02:29] [FTW]Landimal: how did you install the browser? [02:29] aroman, are you using expo? [02:29] aroman, the 'expo' effect? [02:29] that is, gnome-panel floats above the other screen elements, rather than being moved like a normal window [02:30] jack_^: yes [02:30] aroman, thats strange. so the panels are not animated along with the rest of the screen? [02:30] <[FTW]Landimal> I installed the browser by downloading a .deb through firefox. It ran yesterday, now I'm not finding it [02:30] jack_^: they _are_ animated; that [02:30] [FTW]Landimal, the deb is installed in /opt i believe [02:30] 's the problem :) [02:30] aroman, you want the gnome panel to stay still? [02:30] yes [02:30] as it should normally [02:31] mine doens't behave that way with expo [02:31] rather than be moved like a normal window [02:31] [FTW]Landimal: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [02:31] jack_^: really? hmm [02:31] perhaps i dont understand [02:31] heh [02:31] hi [02:31] <[FTW]Landimal> Awesome, thanks guys it was in opt, something must be damaged with it === nick is now known as Guest43199 [02:32] I can't get desktop effects to work. [02:32] ZacLnxNewb, you probably dont have the correct video drivers [02:32] [FTW]Landimal: then make a symlink to /usr/bin if you use that long command I gave you will get the daily build and it will be ok [02:32] [FTW]Landimal, i doubt it. heh === JeremyCL is now known as QJuery [02:32] jack_^: I've installed them. [02:32] jack_^: nVidia ION gpu [02:32] ZacLnxNewb, what card do you have? [02:33] nice [02:33] hehe [02:33] what did you install? [02:33] ActionParsnip: I clicked on the .exe I downloaded from the site, and wine is telling me that it's not marked as an executable, how do I mark it? [02:33] aroman, is this what you're seeing? http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4163/screenshot11ww.png [02:33] jack_^: I isntalled the proprietary drivers. [02:34] how are audo files determined to be podcasts? is this metadata? im having some issues where some of my podcasts are showing up in my music and not under the podcast directory [02:34] jack_^: sorry, it's not expo actually. it's "Desktop Wall" [02:34] ZacLnxNewb, gimmie output of: # lsmod | grep nvidia [02:34] i thought the two were related [02:34] <[FTW]Landimal> thanks all, I'm off and working now [02:34] aroman, ah. i am unfamiliar with desktop wall [02:34] jack_^: nvidia 9329739 30 agpgart 32011 1 nvidia === QJuery is now known as Blueberries [02:34] hello, i'm newbie at C++ , i used DevC++ at windows before, can you suggest me a program at ubuntu ? [02:35] ZacLnxNewb, what happens when you try to enable desktop effects? [02:35] jack_^: The options for turning them on are greyed out [02:35] o_O [02:36] C or C++ compiler at ubuntu? [02:36] jack_^: YES, Believe it or not! :D === Blueberries is now known as maf [02:36] ZacLnxNewb, I would try installing fusion-icon to see if i could do it that way [02:36] jack_^: What's that? [02:36] etsw: gcc is the standard compiler, there are many different ide's [02:36] its an notification icon you can enable compiz with [02:37] jack_^: how do I install it? [02:37] J_C: do i need to download? or it come default ? === Lap_dragon is now known as ExplodingPiglets [02:37] ZacLnxNewb, sudo apt-get install fusion-icon? [02:37] How do I mark a .exe as an executable? I'm using ubuntu netbook. [02:37] etsw, gcc is in the repo [02:37] it should comy by default. Use Synaptic to search and download [02:37] Fishraper, .exe file are usually for windows. you'll need an emulator such as wine [02:38] there is GGcov in ubuntu software center ? [02:38] jack_^: I do have wine, it's telling me the .exe I'm trying to run is not marked as an executable [02:38] jack_^: installing it.. >.> [02:38] jack_^: What do I do after it's installed? [02:38] Fishraper, wine says that? try: wine /path/to/file.exe [02:38] Question: When you add a directory to $PATH, how can you run a program without using " ./ " first infront of it?? [02:38] ZacLnxNewb, open it [02:38] man chmod, chmod is the program to se to mark something as executable [02:38] jzero88, if the path is set correctly, it should be automagic. [02:39] jzero88, if its not a standard path, you can setup an alias also [02:39] jack_^, even so, even when I am in the folder, I still have to use ./ [02:39] jzero88, perhaps your path is not setup correctly. type: which [02:39] jzero88: then it's not in your path [02:39] if it doesn't give you the path its not working heh [02:40] jack_^, J_C yeah not giving the path [02:40] how do I fix this [02:40] if you know [02:40] jzero88, type this [02:40] you could set the path, log out and log back in, or use the "source" command [02:41] jzero88, the command path does not (never) includes ./ because of security concerns. That's it, don't try to mess modify this. [02:41] jzero88, pwd; echo $PATH; ll ; [02:41] as in "source your_bash_profile" file [02:42] jack_^: That command made it work through terminal. How come it wouldn't work if I simply clicked on the file? Is it a user permission thing? [02:42] jack_^, J_C leagris this was the command I did. " export PATH=$PATH:/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools [02:42] " [02:42] Fishraper, your exe files are probably set to open with gedit or something [02:42] jzero88, type the command i just mentioned and gimmie the output [02:42] am I missing the / at end of tools [02:42] jack_^: Is there a way to check/change that? [02:43] ok [02:43] i think i must try tomorrow with a usb ubuntu, to make sure i didnt mess up the system. to make certain if its a hardware problem that is the reaon i dont have any wifi. [02:43] Fishraper, im not sure. i think there is a GUI for it somewhere [02:43] jack_^: is the android folder in $HOME [02:43] landingonwater, your wifi did not work ? [02:43] Fishraper: they need marking executable with: chmod +x filename.exe [02:43] jzero88: that should work, until you log out. Then you would have to re-run that command in a new terminal. Why not just set the path in your .bash_profile file [02:44] ActionParsnip, fishraper is trying to open an .exe with wine. [02:44] : /android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools ls: cannot access adb: No such file or directory [02:44] jzero88, it says the file does not exist [02:45] jack_^, holy, your right [02:45] let me check something [02:45] ActionParsnip: jack_^ made the suggestion to type wine /path/filename.exe through the termal, and it worked fine. My question now I guess would be how come it didn't work by just simply click on the file in the folder through the GUI? [02:45] sougata_: it still wont work. messed around with It. It refuses to see the hardware. [02:45] * jzero88 feels bashful [02:45] Fishraper: the file wasn't executable, but the wine binary is [02:46] Fishraper: if you make the windows binary executable it will work as expected [02:46] !cookie ! jzero88 [02:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:46] Fishraper, the gnome file manager let you change permissions on files and even more settings as extended attributes or ACL if you use that. Through it may be useful for single file at times, you may enjoy the versatility and power of shell commands when dealing with mass changes. [02:46] Fishraper, try right click the file and clicking 'open with other application'. choose wine and select 'remember this' [02:46] chmod +x filename.exe [02:46] ActionParsnip: So if I want to install a .exe, I'll have to chmod +x filename.exe if I want to install it through the GUI? [02:46] !cookie | jzero88 [02:46] jzero88: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [02:46] how do i see the running processes? [02:46] ps aux [02:46] Fishraper: yes, or right click it and mark as executable. I use the cli personally but both are fine [02:46] Jasonn, to, or ps aux [02:46] jasonjang, of ps -ef [02:46] Jasonn: ps -ef | less [02:47] sougata_: thanks so far. haha.. the tx1000 was created to ruin lives :D [02:47] landingonwater, lspci -vnn | grep -i Network [02:47] sougata_: will try :) [02:47] thanks [02:47] landingonwater, but your wifi is working on vista , that means that it should work [02:48] ActionParsnip: It may be my netbooks touchpad, not sure, but right clicking doesn't seem to do anything lol [02:48] Fishraper: possibly. i'd look into that with: xev in a terminal. see if it makes events [02:48] is there a good gui frontend for iptables ? I use firestarter now , it seems iptables has a lot of rules that fire doesnt show however and i cant flush them, I get an error about smb.conf [02:48] landingonwater, does it show anything ? [02:49] sougata_: lspci -vnn | grep -i Network returns nothing at all !! [02:49] landingonwater, yes somehow the harware is not detected [02:49] jack_^, J_C leagris got it working guys thanks! [02:49] jzero88, :) [02:50] sougata_: should i try my USB Ubuntu ? or a mint ? [02:50] How do I install mp3 for encoding with ffmpeg? I can decode it and play it just fine, but I need to encode it in mp3 for my phone [02:50] FishFace: what make / model is the netbook? [02:50] landingonwater, do you have bad breath? if so, go with the mint [02:51] no prob [02:51] when restoring from partimage i have .000 .001 and .002 [02:51] iptables -f * gives me "bad argument smb.conf" is there an error in the config ? [02:51] jack_^: lol.. very funny [02:51] do i need to restore each one? [02:51] EmuAlert: lame [02:51] landingonwater, you mean an USB wifi dongle ? [02:51] :) [02:51] lame is the name of the program you want [02:51] sougata_: i have a live Ubuntu on USB [02:51] x404x, check your iptables file. maybe you put smb.conf in there [02:51] sougata_: thats how i installed the one i have running here. [02:52] where is that file ? [02:52] landingonwater, why not, but I don't think it will be of any help === marcelo is now known as Guest20818 [02:52] x404x, eeeh in fedora its in /etc/sysconfig/iptables [02:52] landingonwater, the harware itself is not visible [02:52] sougata_: hm. you are right.. tomorrow I should to borrow a usb dongle and see if it works. [02:52] x404x, oh wait. what are you trying to do? [02:53] get samba to work [02:53] landingonwater, sure , all luck :-) [02:53] it used to work before i installed the firewall, not sure what mayhen firestarter has done ;( [02:53] sougata_: if i can get a dongle working, then I must be the software making spaghetti [02:53] anyone know a nice gui ftp client? [02:53] x404x, you should try 'iptables -F' to flush all your rules, or 'service iptables stop' [02:53] gftp is fine [02:53] * sougata_ agrees [02:54] x404x, currently, i believe you are telling it to import all files in your current directory [02:54] :-) [02:54] x404x, then stop messing with the firewall.. this isn't windows. if you don't know WHY you need to mess with the firewall, then you don't. [02:54] sougata_: thanks alot for you help :) some good old scientific trial and error is needed. damn.. worst thing about linux is the hardware. and also why many give up I guess. [02:54] on ubuntu there is no etc/sysconfig dir [02:54] E ai... só tem gringo aki? [02:54] :- [02:54] x404x, -f match second or further fragments only [02:54] hm i did try flush, it gives me that smb.conf error, i guess smb should not be mentioned in iptables ? [02:54] psusi, he just said he cant connect to his samba share after enabling it [02:55] landingonwater, that is how we learn, ;-) [02:55] service stop gives me ubrecogninzed service [02:55] x404x, you did lowercase 'f' in IRC. try uppercase. it matters. [02:55] x404x, and dont put a star [02:55] dare ga nihonjin desuka?? [02:55] ore burajiru desu... [02:55] jack_^, well duh... that's like the old joke about going to the doctor and saying it hurts when I do this... well don't do that! [02:56] heh [02:56] sougata_: true.. but the girl im seing, she is buying a Macbook, because she things It looks good . haha.. that is what we are up against :D [02:56] mekaru, switch your locale to English [02:56] gomen sorry... [02:56] landingonwater: find new girl [02:56] edward, is it still being updated? i know a while back it was stagnent and would always freeze [02:57] Bent65: A good looking *nix-chick ? hmm.. what are the odds :D [02:57] landingonwater, linus runs fedora on a macbook :) [02:57] landingonwater: not bad? [02:57] is it possible to extend partitons ? [02:57] landingonwater, I use a Macbook too , but I run Linux in it. Anyways Mac too is built on OpenBSD [02:57] my gf is wearing an 'ask me about ubuntu' shirt right now :O [02:57] hm i assumed the star meant all chains, when i try just -F i get disconnected hm guess i removed all the allow rules as well [02:57] needhelp1, yes [02:58] jack_^, is it safe? [02:58] sougata_: true.. i had 2 of the old macs before they hijacked unix. [02:58] !pt | mekaru [02:58] mekaru: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [02:58] x404x, it removes everything [02:58] needhelp1, messing with storage is always dangerous [02:58] jack_^, safe like, i wont loose any data thats already on that partition [02:58] needhelp1, messing with storage is always dangerous [02:59] sougata_: hmm.. and Ubuntu on Macbook ? hmm.. because I like the hardware, but I have the Mac OS. would be sweet to run Ubuntu and win7 on a Macbook [02:59] jack_^, true .. any recomendations? i have a 60 gig extra store partition on my hdd, and i have 30 gigs free that i need to add to that partition [02:59] needhelp1, if you're asking if linux re-partioning applications are more likely to destroy data than windows equivalents. then no. its fine [02:59] hi all [02:59] needhelp1, gparted [02:59] kp, hi there [02:59] how to set iptables to allow everything ? i have a router blocking outsiders anyway [02:59] jack_^, thanks, brb [02:59] Can you tell me more about this forum [02:59] mekaru: oh wait, do you speak Fijian? [02:59] landingonwater, I am happy for the Ububtu part but not quit sure for the win7 part :-) [03:00] *Ubuntu [03:00] x404x, you can insert an 'allow all' at the begining of your rules. it will allow everything [03:00] não, falo portugues e japones... [03:00] foi mal... [03:00] yo soy muy triste [03:00] kkk [03:00] Is this the Ubuntu support forum [03:00] in what dir is the rules file ? [03:01] sougata_: well.... Since Im a pro photographer I cant really avoid using windows from time to time. Darktable still has a long way to go, and Lightzone can be a bitch. I wont even mention the grumpy Gimp :D [03:01] kp wat [03:01] x404x, im not sure. im running fedora :O [03:01] mekaru: yes [03:01] I just wanted to know something about the forum [03:01] If I save a OpenOfficePresentation as a .ppt to a USBDisk, open it on a PC, I get left w/ a .TMP-487KB file and the .ppt-now 4KB file; is there something like /tmp that I can recover? [03:01] landingonwater, :-). Well I can Undestand [03:01] !language | landingonwater [03:01] landingonwater: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:01] landingonwater, that sounds like an excuse to me. there are most likely open source equivalents. [03:01] hm i wish all linux versions would use same dir structure... [03:02] x404x, indeed :) [03:02] always they include instructions for other versions in the guides making them useless [03:02] well, the main ones are like... debian based and redhat based [03:02] x404x, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [03:02] x404x, lucky for you, ubuntu has the best documentation :) [03:03] x404x, from that doc i would try /etc/iptables.rules [03:03] kp, this is a ubuntu help channel. [03:03] landingonwater, did you come across solang [03:03] lol if only they would supply me some of it hehe, i remember wasting atleast a day before setting up something and then realizing the instructions where for another version of linux and nothing made sence lol [03:03] I am watching my language ! Im just pointing out that even though Darktable is a nice project, Its got a long way to go. Alot of people edit RAW files now, so a complete switch to Ubuntu is very difficult as long as the interface designs are so horrible on the graphic tools for Ubuntu. [03:04] landingonwater, its more of a photo manager [03:04] Im using lightzone as well. very nice approach. but not user friendly for noobs. [03:04] landingonwater, if you stick around in here too long you're bound to get hassled :) [03:04] landingonwater, also, i got photoshop running in wine in ubuntu. im not sure what tools you're using [03:05] jack_^: haha.. okay. I asked for It. [03:05] hi guys, anyone know a net tools that redirects/bounce all connections/sessions to a sock4 or sock5 ? [03:05] axscode, maybe squid? [03:06] hm doesnt seem to be a iptables.rules file, did the -F delete the whole file ? [03:06] i think there is a place you can set it in the config actually [03:06] http://linux.downloadatoz.com/kernel-socks-bouncer/ <- something like this on ubuntu? [03:06] I got a user account and it doesn't seem like bash is loading anymore :/ [03:06] jack_^: I like photoshop, but I hate the workflow. Photoshop is a great pixelpusher, and I use It for print stuff. But for photography work It is horrible. [03:06] hello? [03:06] jack: squid is only for port 80 right? [03:06] landingonwater, that doesn't answer the question to what you ARE using. :P [03:06] axscode, unsure. i think you can set it up for any port. [03:06] jack_^: I use DxO Pro and Lightroom. [03:07] axscode, it IS possible. i've done it before [03:07] jack:agree, what i mean is not only for web, all connections/ all proto [03:07] axscode, export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" [03:07] jack: without configuring any client, [03:07] something is wacky... I can't even ping my router from inside my LAN.. any ideas? [03:07] hello [03:07] thats 80 though [03:08] I do have internet though [03:08] Scunizi, your router does not respond ot icmp requests? heh [03:08] ylmf, hi there [03:08] jack: if i used that export, will it proxied my telnet, ssh, ftp and the rest? [03:08] jack_^: Darktable was an attempt to make a Lightroom rip of some sort, but Its taking its own path, which is great. But programmers in general have no clue how to make user interfaces. so in Darktable there are hopeless icons instead of textnavigation. Thats mean the project is "sweet", but not even close to being something that can be used for actual work. [03:08] axscode, that line is for all command line [03:08] jack_^: yea... can't ping google.com either.. actually nothing [03:08] Scunizi, you have internet but you cant ping google.com? === lance_ is now known as Guest46161 [03:09] Scunizi, can you ping 74.125.67.103? [03:09] landingonwater: I beg to differ... I like darktable [03:09] china [03:09] jack_^: yep [03:09] !zh | ylmf [03:09] ylmf: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [03:09] jack_^: hang on I'll check [03:09] are you sure jack? can you point me to a URL about this.

[03:10] Scunizi, then your network is not routing, or your box is not connected :O [03:10] checking now.. thanks [03:10] I've tried googling like crazy. it's a stupid old emac that my friend is running. [03:10] Trab, isn't that a hardware setting? [03:10] Scunizi: I like Darktable as well, and I update It all the time and play around with It. But I have no time for It when I have to chew through hundreds of RAW files. [03:10] jack_^: it's an emac, I can't adjust it anywhere.... [03:10] jack_^: more weirdness.. with the Network tools ping doesn't work.. on cli it does... ?? [03:11] Scunizi, you're not making any sense man! snap out of it! [03:11] hehe [03:11] ActionParsnip; Called me? [03:11] Scunizi, type: route | grep default [03:11] jack_^: no.. really.. System>admin>network tools doesn't work.. cli does.. [03:11] route | grep default [03:11] jasonjang, i think i may have mispinged you earlier [03:11] hello, ever since i upgraded to the new ubuntu...when i play videos.....my audio goes out every 5 - 10 min in vlc player [03:12] and when i play videos in movie player i get disconnection errors [03:12] alguém do brasil????

[03:16] hm after i reboot i still have only the line i added in the iptables.rules file but iptables -L shows a pile of dropped chains still [03:16] where is the file [03:16] clearly its not using the file listed in the guide [03:16] Abhijit: whats that? do i need to get bleachbit [03:17] Ben65, bleach bit is cleaning software. use with care. autoremove and autoclean removes the downloaded packages which are no longer needed [03:18] Ben65, you will find bleachbit in software center [03:18] Abhijit: cool, thanks [03:19] is there no gui or config file for iptables ? do i need to manually add piles of commands and remember to save argh [03:19] Scunizi, what is the version of ubuntu that you are running [03:19] Scunizi, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+bug/662947 [03:19] x404x: you can export the current rules to a file, then import it later [03:19] Ubuntu bug 662947 in gnome-nettool (Ubuntu) "Network Tools - ping does not work (dup-of: 663014)" [Undecided,New] [03:19] Ubuntu bug 663014 in gnome-nettool (Ubuntu) "No result for ping in Gnome-Nettool" [Low,Triaged] [03:20] is there any place that i can learn for free how to be a more advanced user in linux? [03:20] Ben65, welcome [03:20] hayden: google is really good... [03:20] sougata_: 10.10 [03:20] how do I send and check local email? [03:20] hm so i need to save the rules, edit and then restore them ? that might work [03:21] x404x: check out iptables-save and iptables-restore [03:21] like how do I send an email from say root@localhost to say john@localhost or e.g. from bob@localhost to mary@localhost [03:21] How do I apply a changelog file that I created to packages in a PPA when building from recipe? [03:21] hayden, linux.com tldp.org askubuntu.com also try hand on linux from scratch [03:21] Ben65: i tried that :P just wanted to know if there was a more general place to learn things like advanced terminal commands. [03:22] Abhijit: thanks! [03:22] hayden: wasn't trying to sound mean or anything, but i usually just google problems i have === patrick is now known as Guest73242 [03:22] x404x, there is a gui for firewall, but i think it conflicts with iptables. [03:23] Scunizi, http://tinyurl.com/68zqz7y [03:23] Also, using it more you tend to learn more. I've had Linux as my only desktop OS for about 10 years now [03:23] Ben65: yes i know :P and thanks :) [03:23] Anyone know how to setup a public, isolated network using a second router on an existing network? Just using a different ip structure is not sufficient, it seems. === Tanthrix_AFK is now known as Tanthrix [03:23] abstrakt, try: su - bob -c "echo 'hi root! my name is bob.' | mail root@localhost -s Subject [03:23] !away | Tanthrix [03:23] " [03:23] Tanthrix: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [03:24] Logan_: My apologies. Sorry about that. [03:24] jack_^, ok thanks [03:24] sougata_: interesting... never thought to look there.. weird bug [03:24] hm yeah why would the gui work lol, and the save wont accept a filename so nobody knows where it saved the settings, another useful command nooot [03:24] wtf. what did he do? changed his name to afk? heh === Guest61443 is now known as DarkDevil [03:24] it sure isnt under /etc/iptables.rules [03:24] hi all [03:24] x404x, what does 'service iptables save' do? [03:24] oh nvm [03:24] jack_^: I don't normally do it, got disconnected and reconnected. My existing nick was still in use, and so it went with the AFK one [03:24] Hi Guestt73242. [03:24] they dont have that service setup [03:24] Just recently did an upgrade from jaunty to karmic to lucid, no when I try to edit my (user) crontab, I get "Temporary crontab no longer owned by you." Any ideas why? [03:24] *Guest73242 === DarkDevil is now known as Guest2350 [03:24] jack_^, hrm, no mail command [03:25] Tanthrix, i dont htink thats an issue [03:25] jack_^, what package provides the mail command? [03:25] Tanthrix: have you looked into VLANs? [03:25] abstrakt, mailx-12.5-1.fc14.x86_64 [03:25] abstrakt, well... use the ubuntu version of course. sudo apt-get install mailx [03:25] it unrecognizes the service, hm that doesnt sound promising, maybe try reinstall iptables ? [03:25] ok [03:25] Ben65: A litle bit, but I was hoping there was a simpler way. In fact, I would have thought a different subnet would do it, like a bunch of other people online. [03:25] jack_^, why is it called mailx ? and not mail? [03:25] x404x, it maybe a ubuntu thing. im unsure. [03:26] abstrakt, because its EXTREME [03:26] Ben65: Is a VLAN the only way to do it, as far as you know? [03:26] er, ok [03:26] lol yeah im getting bored with it, what good is an os that denies the admin to change any settings [03:26] Tanthrix: you could set a completely different ip range, then the routers would be able to allow routing or deny it [03:26] so, there's no mailx package [03:26] jack_^, there's bsd-mailx [03:26] and there's heirloom-mailx [03:26] let me see [03:27] Tanthrix: for example, network 1 could be 192.168.x, and network 2 could be 10.x [03:27] is it possible to "Kill the Ubuntu Volume Control"? it's what a VLC developer is suggesting to fix the hotkey situation as described in this thread: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=86524 [03:27] but i don't know what he's talking about [03:27] x404x: the admin can [03:27] everytime i want to change network settings the apply button is greyed out and there is no way to "authenticate" [03:28] abstrakt, i would check those 3 packages [03:28] Ben65: I've tried that, but from the 10. network you can access the 192. network. (My current test setup is a WRT54G on 192., with a Netgear WNR3500l's wan port into that, with the Netgear on 10. [03:28] hi where do I go for help setting up postfix, dovecot and SASL? [03:28] i finally setup ubuntu to not nag me for password for every command and rather than respect that it denies any change lol [03:28] where is the best place to download the torrent version of 10.04? [03:28] Ben65: Sittong on a 10. system now, connected through the netgear, and I can access the 192 network ahead of it. Every system on it, no problem. [03:28] Tanthrix: that's because routers tend to route by default. you would have to configure them to not route, if that is your goal [03:28] its down on the official site === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Zeku [03:29] x404x, it seems ubuntu doesn't have the iptables serbvice setup. try the init script [03:29] harkenshire: down how? [03:29] link points to an erroneous page [03:29] which init script ? [03:29] under init.d ? [03:29] Ben65: link appears corrupt [03:30] I execute "sudo service start dovecot" then "ps -A | grep dovecot" and it's not running. [03:30] does anyone know of a hacker-like Ubuntu compatible theme ? ,thanks. [03:30] Ben65: Is setting up a static route teh way to fix the routing between the two routers? [03:30] harkenshire: do you need torrent? or would http work === Zeku is now known as ExplodingPiglet [03:30] x404x, i guess ubuntu doesnt have one of htose either :x sorry man. heh [03:30] Tanthrix: not sure if it's possible with consumer level routers [03:30] Ben65: i need torrent, the http is too low [03:30] Ben65: slow* [03:31] dang , im getting very tempted to test centos... [03:31] Ben65: Hrm. Well, both routers do have places to put in "static routes." But I'm afraid I really don't know what that means. They just list a destination ip, subnet, gateway, and metric on the netgear for instance. [03:31] funny nobody running big serverfarms use ubuntu... i should take a hint [03:31] harkenshire: which version are you looking for? desktop? server? [03:31] sesopenko: DT [03:31] x404x, try this [03:31] it seems to be either centos or debian they run [03:32] does anyone know of a hacker-like Ubuntu compatible theme ? ,thanks. [03:32] Ben65: I think I'll stick DD-wrt on, and see if that gives me what I need. I'm sure it has to be able to do it. [03:32] x404x, actually. you're just trying to get samba working right? [03:32] hayden: what does "hacker-like" mean? [03:32] x404x: ubuntu is really great for a server [03:32] Tanthrix: sounds like you're looking for a VPN connection between two routers.

[03:33] yeah for now anyway , i will also be building a redundant server as backup for when ubuntu gives up the ghost hehe, but now in broke so that will be a while.. hehe atleast the jfs raid 6 seems to hold out good after several crashes no data is corrupted [03:33] x404x, this is for redhat distros, but it has accept rules for samba. http://troy.jdmz.net/samba/fw/ [03:33] Ben65: i already have an http link [03:33] Tanthrix: here's a mirror, you can find all the torrents there: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/10.04.2/ [03:33] harkenshire: 32 or 64 bit?

[03:34] Tanthrix: if it's downstream from the main router and the secondary router allow you to serve DHCP addresses then make the address scheme different.. like 192.168.3.x instead of the main router like 192.168.1.1 [03:34] tanthrix: np [03:34] harkenshire: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [03:34] ActionParsnip: thanks for the themes! :) [03:34] lol yeah i always feel lost [03:34] either i am lost or my commands get lost or messed up [03:34] hayden: there are loads around [03:35] Scunizi: I thought that would do it, but it's not enough. You can still access the 192, even from the downstream 10. network [03:35] arend computers supposed to obey their masters ? [03:35] how the heck did you do that?

[03:41] Whoops, never mind :) [03:41] Iatagore, revert? isn't htat in 'edit menus'? [03:41] x404x: should be fine [03:41] is there any way to undo / rollback updates?

[03:42] ianm_: only if you have the debs for the old version, you may screw up your system though due to deps [03:42] If I want to have access to my files from outside my network, how can I do this? ssh and commandline is fairly cumbersome [03:42] ljsoftnet, i manually edit them [03:42] Iatagore, wat. ssh is the bomb diggity [03:42] ljsoftnet: remove it from the filename and add a space [03:42] not sure how helpful the redhat info is for ubuntu /samba jack, it seems none of the commands or paths are used in ubuntu , they always need to make sure any info for another version is useless by changing everything lol , I especially enjoyed a previous ubuntu where they told people to install samba4 beta and supplied dox for samba3 and every settings was changed so clearly people are supposed to guess what developers changed , easy right ? ;= [03:42] Iatagore, but it sounds like you're looking for VNC [03:42] there is some problem when i use the commond "make oldconfig" to compile the kernel code tree. It tells me that scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig # # configuration written to .config # [03:42] ActionParsnip: there's no way to roll back ALL updates (including deps) back to some stable state/date?

[03:43] x404x, the rules should be the same even if the commands are different. i would agree with ActionParsnip. If the gui is there, you should work through it. i wish i could tell you the exact commands but unfortunately i dont have experience with iptables under debian environments. [03:43] Iatagore: ssh is text, dunno how you'd want it to be graphical. there are graphical scp clients. [03:44] Ben65: Would you like to recommend one to me <: [03:44] Iatagore, whats wrong with command line? this is linux man! [03:44] Iatagore: for windows or linux?

[03:44] ljsoftnet: You could write a quite bash scrip that goes through and renames things with sed. [03:44] quick* [03:44] jack_^: It's just that when I want to access a lot of files, it becomes cumbersome to remember the names of each file [03:44] Ben65: Linux [03:45] Iatagore, how does gui help you with that? you can see the files in ocmmand line too right?

What could be causing this? [03:53] drobole, bingo [03:54] sougata_: i have to use some kernel module to link to my drivers [03:54] ssbpls, you can link your code with the object files already present in your distribution === Grandequeso is now known as svm_invictvs [03:55] it seems that there are just some headers in my ubuntu~~ [03:55] sougata_::-D [03:55] no [03:55] 11 [03:56] sougata_:no?

[03:58] pdf_dude, Yes. But it is probably not simple. You could write a simple front-end for it. That's probably the simplest way. [03:58] ssbpls, did you find the object files ? [03:58] pdf_dude, how are your C skills? [03:59] no im unskilled [03:59] pdf_dude: i guess you could do it by making a alias in ./bashrc and call the frontend with it [03:59] pdf_dude: look at 'man rm'. Consider the -i or -I options to it. [03:59] yes [03:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336406 [03:59] Nisstyre, pdf_dude You could probably write a simple bash script that asks confirmation and only runs the rm command if you say 'yes' Then name that script 'rm' (and rename rm) Bit of a hack. [03:59] combine with an alias in bash. [03:59] ye [03:59] sougata_:yes! i can find it in my ubuntu~ but so what? [04:00] anyone ever had graphic artifact problems using VMWare and Ktorrent? [04:00] pdf_dude: drobole although you can do an alias in ./bashrc it's easier to separate your person commands by putting them in ./bash_aliases [04:00] ssbpls, then you can link your code with the kernel symbols [04:00] here is a screenshot with vmware open: http://i.imgur.com/T8ogi.jpg [04:00] great rm -i :) [04:00] boxes like that will show up with shadowing [04:00] ssbpls, here is a small hello module demo http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html [04:00] the box is not interactive at all [04:01] pdf_dude: in .bashrc in your home directory you can add an alias; "alias rm='rm -i' [04:01] yes Kalmic [04:01] pdf_dude: alias rm='rm -i' [04:01] Ah, I was too late.

[04:02] sougata_:it seems that are just some .h files, not the .o files~ [04:03] bgilb: samba, nfs, etc.. you don't have the sharing potocols installed [04:03] pdf_dude: if you put it in the .bashrc file you have to run the source .bashrc command. [04:03] isn't alias rm='rm -i $1' [04:03] pdf_dude: you need to restyart the shell after editing .bashrc [04:03] or i need web script for streaming avi [04:03] drobole: restart terminal? [04:03] yes [04:03] I did. [04:04] and not $1 [04:04] yes and not $1 [04:04] just rm='rm -i' [04:04] k [04:04] hmm [04:04] hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? [04:04] can anyone hear me? [04:04] yes bgilb [04:04] pdf_dude: it should work [04:04] drobole: the problem was I restart one bash but another was open :P [04:04] now it works [04:05] nice [04:05] EtherApe shows that my Maverick computer connects to 192.219.30.200. How can I determine what device is associated with the IP address 192.219.30.200? [04:05] sougata_:yes~ i can run the hello module, but the book "Linux device drivers" requests me to build the linux kernel tree~~ [04:05] bullgard: ifconfig [04:05] bullgard: in terminal [04:06] ssbpls, trust me you don't need it intially [04:06] pdf_dude: '~$ ifconfig' does not show " 192.219.30.200". [04:06] anyone have any experience with zimage files? [04:07] bullgard: if you are connected it should show like "inet addr:192.168.*.*" [04:07] sougata_: ok~ i trust you! thanks~ [04:07] I just installed a new mobo and I can't seem to start x. I get the error messages "[drm] failed to open device" followed by "VESA(0): No valid modes" followed by "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration". How can I debug this? [04:07] ssbpls, and I guess the linking process in Kernel is different than a std C library linker [04:07] does anyone know if ktorrent and vmware use a different UI system or something compared to most applications? [04:08] bullgard: does it show up in the output of 'lsof -i4tcp' ? [04:08] ssbpls, yw [04:08] Hi, how do I choose a default text editor on the command line? I tried "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" but the editor that I selected isn't used when I run something like "crontab -e" [04:09] sougata_:yes! i should make my makefile to the linker to file the files to link them together [04:09] Datz: env EDITOR=nano crontab -e [04:09] Datz: I usually just put an export to the EDITOR variable in my .bashrc file. [04:09] :) [04:09] adventure__: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu [04:09] ssbpls, its all there in the book :-), chapter 2 [04:09] Kalmic: what do you use? [04:09] thanks pdf_dude, Kalmic [04:09] Loshki: Yes: "firefox-b 2425 detlef 92u IPv4 107456 0t0 TCP MD97600:46747->192.219.30.200:ircd (ESTABLISHED)" [04:09] is there a way to find out what compile options a package was compiled with? [04:10] sougata_:yes, that is it~ [04:10] pdf_dude: vim. [04:10] I'm running Ubuntu desktop with DHCP services. How do I change the IP range of the DHCP pool? [04:10] sougata_:but in the chapter , it seems hard for me . [04:11] pdf_dude: I want it by default, I don't want to have to run that command with crontab -e [04:11] Kalmic: I meant which variable you use [04:11] sougata_:but in the chapter 3, it seems hard for me .is there any method to learn it well? [04:11] Kalmic: is there a command to set that? [04:11] pdf_dude: Ah, in .bashrc : export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim [04:11] ssbpls, read it, re read it. Play with the toy codes [04:11] bullgard: that says it's a tcp connection from firefox running ircd (IRC chat). Are you running chatzilla perhaps? [04:11] drobole, thanks. none of those solutions work though. also when it says "gdm is configured to help you configure your display when gdm fail to start", what is that supposed to mean? [04:11] ok [04:11] sougata_:en [04:12] pdf_dude,datz: then after that just run : source .bashrc [04:12] Loshki: Yes I do. [04:12] Kalmic: what if the shell in is french or something and I want to set it to english? === Abhijit is now known as Abhijith [04:12] ssbpls, all luck [04:12] adventure__: well gdm is the login facility, i guess it means it is smart about helping you to get X configured if it doesnt work [04:12] sougata_::-D,thanks~ [04:12] drobole, hmm apparently not smart enough === Abhijith is now known as Abhijit [04:12] hi, does anyone use pamusb here [04:13] Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start on figuring out what is causing this? [04:13] adventure__: are you logged in as root? [04:13] Kalmic: something like? env EDITOR=nano crontab -e source .bashrc [04:13] pdf_dude: That one, I have no clue :( [04:13] it's dead in +1, and i didn't download another livecd to try it with - is alps touchpads not working a known issue? [04:13] I'm running Ubuntu desktop with DHCP services. How do I change the IP range of the DHCP pool? [04:13] why each user can only use one pamusb device. [04:14] bullgard: then it's probably your end of the chat connection. It should go away if you close chatzilla... [04:14] Datz: no you add "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano" to your ~/.bashrc [04:14] drobole, no, I don't think this computer is configured with a root login [04:14] roasted_: i'd ask in #ubuntu-server since you're talking about a dhcp server, even if it's running on something with a gui [04:14] I did :/ [04:14] Datz: woah; Nah, just put the 'export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano' then run the command 'source .bashrc' (or restart the terminal) then you can run crontab -e and it should open in nano. [04:14] Loshki: Who owns the address 192.219.30.200? Can the program chatzilla own an IP address? [04:14] pdf_dude: ok, sorry I didn't see .bashrc for some treason [04:14] reason [04:15] Kalmic: great thanks [04:15] i updated my ubuntu and i dont have the sound pannel rythmbox controler,,how can i get it ? [04:15] bullgard, 192.* is a local ip address [04:15] Kalmic: tks :) learned some stuff with u [04:15] adventure__: you could look at the xorg.conf file and see what modes and drivers it tries to load [04:15] pdf_dude: No problem; I'm actually surprised I could answer those. [04:16] Kalmic: if i want that to every user I edit /etc/bash.bashrc right? [04:16] drobole, apparently my xorg.conf file is now empty. let me see if i have a backup [04:16] adventure__: Yes I know. But this is not enough to answer the question: "Who owns the address 192.219.30.200?" [04:16] hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? [04:16] hi, does anyone use pamusb here. I feel strange that why each user can only use one pamusb device. [04:16] pdf_dude: I'm actualy not sure what takes precidence in that case. However that seems like it should work. [04:16] Kalmic: great that worked. thanks. [04:17] so my machine rebooted by itself 3 times today... usually while screensaver is kicking on.. is there a log somewhere I can check out [04:17] drobole, yeah, it's empty and i didn't make a backup. I thought that `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ` would create a new file from a template. apparently not in ubuntu 10.10 [04:17] datz: No problem. [04:17] trollboy: /var/log has many ... i recommend syslog or messages [04:17] Kalmic: shell language is in french how can I change it [04:17] how can i install the sound control menu for rythmbox,i updated from 9.4 to 10.4 LTS just because of that feature === lance_ is now known as Guest3332 [04:17] !kernel | kieppie [04:17] kieppie: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [04:18] Kalmic: nano is in french! [04:18] adventure__: http://pastebin.com/dz3aCvQU [04:18] bullgard, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [04:18] pdf_dude: Quick google found:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/change-language-450869/#post2274163 I don't know what string you should use to change to anything but english. === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [04:19] drobole, hah it would be nice if i could copy and paste, but the computer i'm talking about is beside me [04:19] bullgard: What is *your* local network address? [04:19] ok [04:19] pdf_dude: You should be able to put that export into .bashrc (or maybe .bash_profile I always forget). [04:19] drobole, let me type that in [04:19] thanks for the explanaition, Abhijit, & would be great if I didn't know what a kernel was or how to compile one, but that does not answer my question [04:19] Loshki: 192.168.178.0 [04:20] huh, this is very funny: the program GpartEd sees correctly all my partitions, but when I want to install Ubuntu, the installation manager in the desktop doesn't see anyone [04:20] kieppie, nvm then ignore it [04:20] adventure__: might have to change "nvidia" if you dont have that driver loaded. (lsmod | grep nvidia) [04:21] Abhijit: no details or docco's provided re virtual or preamp options available @ boot. Ihave a pretty decent idea what server & generic are [04:21] maco, alas I'm unsure of the exact time of reboot.. as it happens while I'm smoking a cigarette, going to the bathroom, answering the door, etc === koolhead17|afk is now known as koolhead17 [04:21] drobole, by golly, it worked! [04:22] adventure__: awsome [04:22] adventure__: unix is your friend :D [04:23] maco, Mar 8 18:00:50 trollboy-desktop kernel: [510674.515527] hub 8-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... (does this looking bad?) [04:23] guys, someone can help me? I need to find out what doesn't work [04:23] its the only gap in the log... [04:23] trollboy: no, looks like you unplugged a usb thumb drive [04:23] drobole, thanks for your help, bud [04:23] adventure__: yw [04:24] trollboy: a new boot makes a new dmesg [04:24] maco, I didn't [04:24] bullgard: I don't know why it says 192.219.30.200. Or why it says MD97600:46747 for that matter. Does it make any difference if you run lsof with the -n flag? === Guest2350 is now known as DarkDevil [04:25] the program GpartEd sees correctly all my partitions, but when I want to install Ubuntu, the installation manager in the desktop doesn't see anyone === DarkDevil is now known as Guest93952 [04:25] mechanist: how many partitions do you have? [04:26] four [04:26] mechanist: of what filesystem are the partitions? [04:26] three ntfs and one ext4 [04:26] mechanist: are they all for windows or did you create partiitons for the install of ubuntu? [04:26] I got one ext4 [04:26] maco, I'm reading syslog not dmesg.. [04:27] hi ! [04:27] hi [04:27] for those who have sleep this night [04:27] mechanist: with 4 primary partitions you've reached the max.. to get more you need to delete one (maybe ext4 if it's large enough) and recreate it as an extended partiiton.. then you can add multiple partitions below that for the install.. ubuntu takes a minimum of 2 partitons to install [04:28] whath's new ? [04:28] hello is this where i can get help with ubuntu? [04:28] i need to see my rythmbox in indicator applet not on notification area,,is the reason why I updated to 10.4 LTS [04:28] adam__, /topic [04:28] adam__, yes [04:28] Scunizi: excuse me for the dummy question, but how do you know that mine are all primary partitions? [04:29] ok, thanks, i need help, i have a built in microphone into my laptop and i cannot figure out how to get it working [04:29] Loshki: Do you mean this? '~$ lsof -n | grep ircd; firefox-b 2425 detlef 92u IPv4 107456 0t0 TCP 192.168.178.29:46747->192.219.30.200:ircd (ESTABLISHED)" [04:30] How do you add a user if you dont want to log in as root? [04:30] adam__, i had the same issue and i installed pulse audio equalizer and then configure mic and work grate fot me [04:31] Scunizi: another thing: it's strange that Windows Seven neither sees my hard drive...... [04:31] ok thanks i will try it [04:31] djdojos: use sudo adduser name [04:31] pardon: the seven's installation program [04:31] hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? [04:32] i choose to upgrade because i like eyecandy and im not getting what i see on the ubuntu page about rythmbox [04:32] mechanist: most people mentioning that they have 4 partitions typically have primary partitions.. if they know about extended partitions they know enough to mention that. I can't explain win7 .. except it won't see the ext4 partition [04:32] sorry, but do you know a PHP channel for me ? === thurston_m is now known as thurston [04:32] Wingate: #php? [04:32] !adduser [04:32] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [04:33] not work [04:33] :( [04:33] theres 400 people in #php [04:33] . /j #php [04:33] without the ? [04:33] oh it's invite only. [04:33] lol [04:34] lol [04:34] ayone here uses viewnior? [04:34] Scunizi: ok, but in theorical line, would you assure me that, if Gparted sees all my partitions, ubuntu is installable on my hard drive? === miketomdool is now known as _mike__ [04:34] my upgrade from ubuntu 9.4 to 10.4 left some features bejind,,,how can i get this features ? [04:35] anyone: I need to connect to windows machine to reset one of account's password, the only way I can access the windows machine is using ubuntu, no remote desktop, no kde/gnome, I need help with commands that can help me to connect to windows machine remotely using administrator account to change password for user-x [04:35] bullgard: ok, that helps. I can't remember how tcp reports the address of endpoint connections, but I'm pretty sure you're seeing the remote's ip address as it appears on the remote machine (e.g. behind a NAT router) [04:35] mechanist: no.. because you only have one ext4 partition.. you need one ext4 or 3 and one /swap.. swap can be anywhere between 1gig and up.. [04:35] Does anyone know where flash videos are stored while being buffered? [04:35] arlander: you could try to telnet into it [04:35] Leif: depends on the browser [04:35] arlander: telnet? [04:35] ruan, Okay, with chromium. [04:36] that was ivpn by using gsick by google [04:36] mechanist: if it doesn't see you drive at all then that is strange.. is it a ssd? or standard HD (sata/pata) [04:36] Yadira: my guess is clean install. :/ But that's just a guess [04:36] ruan, I'm using the daily builds, are you saying firefox would save it in the /tmp directory? [04:36] I tried telnet using port 389, success but not sure what commands to use [04:36] Leif: firefox stores it in the cache [04:36] MeanEYE, i will lost mu movies and song,,,that never [04:36] default telnet port is 23 i believe [04:36] Leif: not sure about chromium [04:36] Leif: there are addons for browsers and apps like youtube-dl to pull them down [04:36] Leif: ~/.cache/google-chrome/Media Cache I suppose [04:37] MeanEYE, Ah, okay, thanks [04:37] ActionParsnip, It's not a youtube video, but thanks anyway. :) [04:37] also cacheviewer for firefox [04:37] ruan, Okay, thanks. [04:37] but how can i upgrade to a new vertion and miss OS componets [04:37] Yadira: am not quite sure about how you can get all the features and avoid installing system all over. [04:37] it's a sata1, but listen: when I told "theorically line" I meant if it is possible just to install on my hard drive, not depending on what operations I have to do [04:38] Scunizi: it's a sata1, but listen: when I told "theorically line" I meant if it is possible just to install on my hard drive, not depending on what operations I have to do [04:38] Yadira: which features were left behind? [04:38] mechanist: if it runs in the "live cd" mode then yes.. it should install.. in some instances you need the "alternate" install cd instead of the live cd.. [04:38] MeanEYE, i be ok with the rythmbox on panel and not on indicator [04:38] Scunizi: that is: creating new partitions I really will be able to install, evend having found this issue? [04:38] is not displayng the rythmbox controls on the volume icon on panel [04:39] Yadira: if it's only panel things missing, all you need to do is reset panel to its default settings [04:39] mechanist: should be able to. Is this going to be a dual boot system? [04:39] how can i sign in whit my registered nick ? [04:39] Loshki: Inputting "192.219.30.200" into the address line of my Firefox will show the website of "Aceldama Systems". A rather mysterious enterprise which I certainly did not want to communicate with. [04:39] Wingate: on IRC? [04:39] if I telnet to default port, connection refused [04:39] yes on IRC [04:39] MeanEYE, but i havnt make any changes [04:39] Scunizi: nope, at the moment. I just need of ubuntu. So the maximum is four partitions?? [04:39] Wingate: /msg nickserv help [04:39] MeanEYE, it is as default [04:40] Yadira: but those are your settings from previous installation [04:40] !identify > Wingate [04:40] Wingate, please see my private message [04:40] mechanist: unless one of the 4 is changed to an extended partition.. which is kindof like a place holder where you can create more partitions within the extended partition [04:40] thank you ubottu :) [04:40] MeanEYE, i see where u coming from,,,how can i refres panel ? [04:40] Leif, enter about:cache?device=disk in the firefox window , then find *.swf files :-) [04:41] Leif: also, flv [04:41] Scunizi: I can create two extended partitions instead of that ext4 one? [04:41] Yadira: I don't have the command at hand. Maybe someone else has it... he needs to reset panel settings [04:42] mechanist: you don't need 2 extended partitions. just one.. then you create 2 partitions within the extended partition.. one ext4 or 3 and the other /swap [04:42] I plugged in my external usb sata hd, and it says it found new hardware and is ready to be used... but I cannot seem to find where to open it in "my computer" or anything [04:42] subone, ruan Cool, thanks. (I'm currently digging through the cache now...) [04:42] drtt: is that in windows? [04:42] Scunizi: ok, stay tuned, now I try it [04:42] drtt: that sounds like windows message :) [04:43] i am still having trouble getting my microphone to work, i am still new to this [04:43] haha, yes, but the thing is, it has linux on it [04:43] ubuntu [04:43] bullgard: sorry, you've reached the limits of my knowledge about this stuff... [04:43] can someone be kind and tell me the panel refresh command [04:43] I try to install nvidia driver(run file),but it need source file,I have unpack it,I tell run file,but still erro [04:43] and windows wont read it [04:43] anyone using natty? [04:43] drtt: windows doesn't support ext partitions [04:43] I want to totally format this hd [04:43] drtt: natively :) [04:43] MasterU: I am but its offtopic here, ask about natty in #ubuntu+1 [04:43] Loshki: Thank you very much for your help. [04:43] Scunizi: lol, the menu has only the primary enabled.... [04:43] subone, ruan Thanks, I found what I was looking for. :) [04:44] thanks ActionParsnip [04:44] drtt: windows is too native and cannot read or write ext4 or ext3. with software it can read ext2 [04:44] drtt: in Control Panel -> Administration -> Computer Management there's a drive manager or something like that... from there you can format that drive [04:44] mechanist: you have to delete the ext4 partition. apply it and then recreate it as extended [04:44] Scunizi: maybe I can make 20 gigas primary and other 20 extended? [04:44] bullgard: You're welcome. You always ask really interesting questions. [04:44] mechanist: out of the ext4 partition? [04:44] Scunizi: I've already trid it [04:44] drtt: if you want to format it then its a windows support issue and you will get help in ##windows [04:44] Scunizi: yeah [04:45] Scunizi: but only primary is enabled [04:45] how do I install the latest development releases for programs like wine and vlc? Is there a way to do this automatically through the Update Manager? [04:45] mechanist: no.. because if it's 40 gigs and you try to split it into 20 primary and 20 extended then you're maxed with 4 primary partitions and it won't create an extended [04:45] sk: one way is to compile the source, other is to get development ppa [04:45] Scunizi: let's see [04:46] mechanist: delete the ext4 partition and make the whole thing extended [04:46] Scunizi: I've already tried to do it, that's what I'm trying to tell you [04:46] how do I check the postfix syslog on ubuntu? [04:46] Scunizi: but the Gparted's menu enables only primary [04:46] mechanist: that's strange.. hang on [04:47] abstrakt: all logs should be located in /var/log [04:47] MeanEYE, postfix logs to "syslog" apparently [04:47] I havent a 2nd PCI network card in my Ubuntu box, but ifconfig only shows LO and ETH0. Hmmmm????????? [04:47] Scunizi: trying to create two partitions [04:47] MeanEYE, I was told to use grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf [04:47] but there is no /etc/syslog.conf [04:48] MeanEYE: thank you! [04:48] sup peeps! [04:48] roasted_: run: sudo lshw -C network you wil see the chip, websearch for guides based on the nonfunctioning chip. It's not working as the default install doesn't have the driver for the chip. It's that simple. [04:48] Scunizi: funny as hell: both the partitions were created [04:48] anyone: windows telnet server is no running, is there any way to connect via rpc, I just want to view one of the files on windows server, I have administrator account but no gnome/kde for remote desktop [04:48] ActionParsnip, well I AM running Edubuntu as a DHCP server so I just wanted to check and see. [04:49] mechanist: perhaps one of your other partitions is "extended" [04:49] abstrakt: do you have /var/log/mail.log ? [04:49] arlander: use rdesktop if remote logon is enabled [04:49] how do i associate a .sh file with the terminal? [04:49] pootietang: :D nuthin [04:49] roasted_: and see what? [04:49] nope [04:49] but no gnoome/kde environment, its pure command line, will rdesktop work ? [04:49] if it would work. I wasnt sure if edubuntu locks out additional cards by default or hwat [04:49] ActionParsnip, ^ [04:49] Scunizi: nope, both here results primary... O_o [04:50] mechanist: something is fishy here. [04:50] Scunizi: ok, both partitions, ext4 and swap, created. now I see if the installtion works [04:50] Scunizi: LOL, I think it too. [04:50] roasted_: maybe not out of the box, but there may be drivers and you can certainly use ndiswrapper if necessary [04:50] arlander: why not ssh in that case? am not sure if rdesktop will work [04:50] arlander: there is no desktop :) .. ssh will work [04:51] but there is no ssh server running on windwos, I want to access windows command prompt from ubuntu [04:51] Scunizi: nothing, the installation program doesn't see my hard disk [04:51] arlander: and no gui on ubuntu? [04:52] arlander: ooh, that... hm, then you'll need some desktop environment in order to use remote desktop application, or setup ssh on windows if you can [04:52] you [04:52] i'm going mad [04:52] ActionParsnip, I have another PCI LAN card here of a different brand. trying that quick. [04:52] any body need help please pm me kekeke [04:52] ceo: ask :D [04:52] sikilpaake, what is that you exactly want [04:52] nopes, it's server, and I havent installed any desktop environ [04:52] roasted_: you can make sub interfaces you know [04:52] kekekek MeanEYE thanks no ask on this day [04:52] mechanist: sorry I don't have any other answers for you.. perhaps someone else will chime in. [04:52] !pm | ceo [04:52] ceo: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[05:38] ubottu almost seems like some sort of drone, or a robot [05:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:38] MikeChelen: yes even talked with it on a windows machine earlier today, so i know its not broken, and the webcam works on here too, just not the microphone [05:38] dmesg clearly shows both though [05:38] trick: the same type of questions get asked repeatedly, and there is no way to answer [05:38] JdGordon: ifconfig -a, your device might not be activated [05:38] pdf_dude, cool its unpacking some mess right now [05:38] paranoiak: do other mics work ok? [05:39] JdGordon: if it's listed there... then ifconfig eth1 up (for example) [05:39] MikeChelen: sure, there's HEAPS of criteria upon which to make a judgement, namely in the same sense you judge internet explorer versus firefox versus chrome. Magazines do these kind of comparisons all the time, and tehy are far from meaningless [05:39] pdf_dude, k its done [05:39] jordan__: it's downloading the packages and then it extracts and install it [05:39] MikeChelen: i dont have other microphones.....

[05:52] paranoiak, does the microphone even show up? do the levels rise when you talk? [05:53] hey, is there a way to make the Ubuntu gnome irc thing NOT automatically come here? [05:53] Peddy: yes the webcam shows up at the input, and its not muted or anything, and when i try to talk in the mic its not showing no movement [05:53] Fish__, is that xchat? [05:53] rww, if pdf dude was booted could i still hit him up via a PM [05:53] jordan__: presumably [05:54] jordan__: as long as he hasn't left the network(rage quit) [05:54] paranoiak, bizarre. I have the same webcam and it's working fine. You're sure nothing's muted, right? [05:54] Fish__: disable autologon in your chosen client [05:54] Peddy: ya it is [05:55] Peddy: yes.. did u install any drivers or did u just plug the webcam in and it worked? [05:55] paranoiak, just worked [05:55] ActionParsnip: i did that [05:55] Fish__, open the Xchat menu, click network list, find freenode, press edit, and remove #ubuntu from favourites [05:55] Fish__: thats all I got personally, maybe others can help [05:55] Peddy: ok.. same here, just the microphone thats not working... [05:55] paranoiak, could you give the output of dmesg when you plug the mic in?

[05:56] paranoiak, can you tell which part is about the webcam? it should be the last 15 lines or so [05:57] paranoiak, please pastebin.com them [05:57] Hello everyone, when I watched any video on youtube or any of this kind of sites, the video was automatically downloaded in my /temp directory, but now I cannot see them there. Where is those files gone? [05:57] tks [05:57] Peddy: i deleted freenode i don't know how it can still come here [05:57] Fish__, witch magic. Try moving ~/.xchat to ~/.xchat2, and then removing #ubuntu from favourites on freenode [05:58] Peddy: here: http://pastebin.com/LuNkncWA [05:58] rww: pdf_dude is sending me offensive msgs in private [05:58] pdf_dude: and he called you a p*ssy [05:58] trick: then /ignore them.

Could you also paste the 10 lines above where you started copying? [05:59] ActionParsnip: it puts the lotion on its skin [05:59] Peddy: that sounds like alot of work that i don't know how to do but i'll take the small inconvenience for some occasional help [05:59] Peddy: thanks anyway [06:00] Fish__, alrighty. just for knowledge, .xchat is a folder in your home directory that holds xchat configuration settings [06:00] Peddy: http://pastebin.com/e9zHgZQK [06:00] <\share> hello all [06:00] hey, is pdf dude unbooted yet, aka, is he able to return yet [06:01] can someone please assist with an apache permissions issue? [06:01] paranoiak, hmm. it seems to be loading the gspca driver OK, which is what I'm using too. I assume you've installed all updates? [06:01] Peddy: lately no.. [06:01] pcypher: that should be easy enuf [06:01] pcypher: try #httpd ? [06:01] Peddy: should i install updates after i plugged in the webcam? [06:02] MikeChelen: I did... silent room [06:02] MikeChelen, can you help please? [06:02] !repeat | Tanvir [06:02] Tanvir: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:02] paranoiak, it's worth a try. Are you on 10.10? [06:02] Peddy: searching if there is any new drivers now [06:02] sacarlson: i cannot access any page after copying over a site I backed up [06:02] Peddy: yes, 10.10 [06:02] anyone has experience with MiniTube? [06:03] sacarlson: i just rsynced the site to a remote drive and now cannot access any page [06:03] pcypher: try to explain your question here and maybe some will know. also might try #ubuntu-server [06:03] MikeChelen: Thank you. [06:03] pcypher: ok maybe you need to look at who owns the file and change them and the permisions with chown and chmod man those [06:03] MeanEYE: tiny bit [06:03] paranoiak, are you used to working in the terminal? [06:03] Peddy: and is there a way to get a custom server to work on empathy? [06:03] If I have Samba 3.5.6 running on one machine and smbclient on another machine, shouldn't they be able to talk to each other and see the shares if the "security = SHARE" is set on the smb server? When I open Places>Network>Workgroup I don't see anything (and the workgroup name is correct). But from my Windows machines I can see the share and access it. [06:03] sacarlson: the user name with ls -l is the same as it was before... maybe a uid issue? [06:03] Peddy: just searched for new drivers, and updates, was nothing there [06:03] pcypher: to see who own's them you can use ls -l [06:04] pcypher: yeah what sacarlson says sounds right [06:04] ActionParsnip: it won't play selected video but, running it from console, I get Phonon error: "Cannot find demultiplexer plugin for MRL [file:///tmp/minitube-meaneye.mp4]" 2 [06:04] Peddy: no, i am not used to linux at all, have just tried it a little before, some years ago, just made fresh install on this computer today [06:04] MikeChelen, thanks! [06:04] MeanEYE: minitube 1.4 is out but maverick repo only has 1.1 let me find a repo [06:04] pcypher: well what is the username then, and does that user exist on this new system? [06:05] sacarlson: yes... the user does exist [06:05] pcypher: if not you can create the missing user or change the user of all the files to one that does exist [06:05] MeanEYE: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/minitube; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [06:05] ActionParsnip: hah, works now :) needed to remove sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-xine [06:05] paranoiak, unfortunately webcams are still quite difficult to get working (but it's improving!) on some machines. [06:06] paranoiak, I've read up on it, and it seems that "the video and audio don't work at the same time because the video is opened before the audio and it takes all the USB bandwidth." [06:06] pcypher: ok the user exists and what is the code for permisions on all or most of the files or the ones that can't be reached? [06:06] Peddy: but strange it works for u then and u have the same webcam [06:07] pcypher: one other thing is if you put the files physicaly on a partition outside the apparrmor location that you have apache2 set at [06:07] paranoiak, the mic works and video works, but not at the same time :/ it's the Lifecam thing, right [06:07] sacarlson: this is the skinny... I set up lamp on my primary box... had cacti nagios, the whole 9. Then I tried learning backups and crons. Backed up the entire /var/www using rsync. DBAN'd the box, reimaged. then got 10.10 back up and running. then got virtualbox up, installed a 10.4 lts server set up lamp [06:07] MeanEYE: can you log a bug with 1.1 saying the 1.4 fixed it and it may get included :) [06:07] MeanEYE: in the default repos that is [06:07] then I rsynced the backups to /var/www on the vm [06:08] ActionParsnip: I did upgrade :)... didn't want to ask questions before I did that... I just needed to remove phonon xine package :D [06:08] before copying over any files... lamp worked... [06:08] Peddy: yeah but my webcam is not using right now.. so shouldent audio work then? but i am getting no movement at the input adjustment? [06:08] after the copy,not at all [06:09] can someone help me with the irc function of empathy? [06:09] MeanEYE: oic, ok log that so people know [06:09] pcypher: so you put the right back to /var/www or did you just create a symbolic link to where you have the files? if so is that in the apparmor location? [06:10] paranoiak, I have no idea. We could try compiling the latest GSPCA from source code, if you're up to it [06:10] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-xine :) [06:11] Peddy: sure [06:11] Peddy: but i dont know what that is, GSPCA [06:11] ok... I think I might know whats going on here... [06:11] gimme a sec [06:11] paranoiak, it's the "driver" for your webcam. Please download this to your desktop: http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca-2.12.18.tar.gz [06:12] pcypher: what does your apache2 configs point to? and if /var/www then what does this look like ls -l -d /var/www [06:12] test msg [06:12] one sec... I work in a noc and shit is blowing up [06:12] Peddy: done [06:13] MeanEYE: log a bug and it lets the devs and such know [06:13] they already know [06:13] MeanEYE: cool [06:14] paranoiak, OK, just for the record, how experienced are you with command line? can you navigate around places? extract tars? [06:14] Peddy: no never done it before [06:14] after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? [06:15] paranoiak, that's cool - let's PM. [06:15] hello, is there any good organiser for ubuntu? [06:15] marekw2143: what do you mean by "organizer"? [06:16] sikilpaake: a tool that will play some sound, when the lessons are soon :) [06:16] marekw2143: hmm [06:16] marekw2143: evolution has nice oranizer stuff, also google calendar is good (if you don't mind using it) [06:17] MeanEYE: I'd like to have offline tool [06:17] marekw2143: i use "tasque", but it only has "alarms" for each day, not set for specific hours [06:17] and would like not to use google if possible :) === zeleftikaX is now known as zeleftikam [06:18] so I see that using evolution or tunderbird would be required then [06:18] marekw2143: evolution will notify eve if it's not running [06:19] even* [06:19] marekw2143: I'm not sure what you want but you can setup a cron event that will run play /path/to/your/sound/file.mp3 [06:19] after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? [06:20] hello there, I need help. I wanna custom my ubuntu installation, where can i get documents about "how the installation works"? [06:20] sacarlson: hehe, that's possible, but I'd like to make live easier and not harder [06:21] sacarlson: and to see graphically plan of a day [06:21] marekw2143: there is a gui to setup cron events gnome-schedule [06:21] do i need to have additional drivers/ software for an Acer Aspire M1660? [06:21] i just want to maximize it [06:21] marekw2143: evolution will do just fine, you can set sounds as well [06:21] but ;D do as you please [06:22] and is evolution comparable to thunderbird in terms of e-mail managing? === Sosby is now known as eXXe [06:22] marekw2143: oh ya that thing at the top has my scheduals but it won't make sounds or I should say I don't know how to make that happen [06:22] The main menu button that was in the lower left corner of my screen is gone. I'm brand new with Ubuntu and don't know what's going on. How do I get it back? Do I have to do a whole new install? [06:22] marekw2143: email, yes, but thunderbird doesn't have running services in ubuntu [06:23] may be a silly question, but is evolution "secure application"? [06:23] marekw2143: secure in what sense? it does support ssl and other encryption methods [06:23] ping [06:24] pong [06:24] MeanEYE: in sense that it's easy to steal emails from that application easier than from thunderbird or other very popular email client [06:24] how do i see whos tried connecting to my router? [06:24] bleep bleep [06:24] is there some log that shows who try connecting to me>? [06:25] marekw2143: then every application is not secure :)... since everything can be "stolen" if someone has your computer. On the bright side Ubuntu 10.10 supports encyption of home directory so even if someone gets your computer your data is safe. :) [06:26] nono, protecting data on a hard drive is not a task of email client [06:26] My new phone LG 900g is not showing on my old computer Ub10.04 I plug it in USB and the phone sees a USB Connection and asks me if I want Mass Storage or Data Connection. I choose Mass Storage and the screen says Connected but nothing new is in the Computer window in Places. (The other choice is Data Connection. Then the Screen goes back to the neutral screen on the phone.) I am stumped. I want to get some pictures off this phone. T [06:26] here is no microSD card in the slot and never has been. -Where do I go from here. === Guest61939 is now known as DarkDevil [06:26] MeanEYE: I mean only email specific tasks === DarkDevil is now known as Guest29592 [06:27] ok... [06:27] so it was way more simple then I thought. [06:27] after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? [06:27] marekw2143: evolution supports ssl/tsl with mail servers. so transfering can be encrypted [06:27] i just needed to chown to www-data [06:27] thats the quick fix.. [06:27] marekw2143: other than that I don't know what you mean [06:27] MeanEYE: I guess that's everyhing :) [06:27] tripelbb: when you last removed it from a PC, what steps did you take? [06:27] the real fix is to create a group with www-data and my account where they both have access to /var/www [06:28] MeanEYE, sacarlson : thanks for help :) [06:28] marekw2143: np... :) [06:28] sikilpaake: thanks too :) [06:28] ActionParsnip, this was the first time I ever connected it. Each time before I disconnected it I pressed Cancel which was my only choice. [06:28] marekw2143: sure thing [06:29] thank you all for your help yet again [06:29] tripelbb: first time connected to anything? === BATMAN is now known as Guest77204 [06:29] right AP [06:29] tripelbb: ok well that makes life easy [06:29] l [06:30] k [06:30] after i do the "adduser name" command, how come when i do "su name" it says its an unknown id? [06:30] tripelbb: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see any partitions which are not on your system drive? [06:30] djdojos: run: sudo passwd name to set the password too [06:31] ActionParsnip: it says user doesnt exist. but then when i do "adduser name" it says its already been created. [06:31] !adduser [06:31] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [06:32] is there a way to recover a password from ubuntu (aside from the livecd hack) ? [06:32] djdojos: i'd delete the user, then recreate it [06:32] ActionParsnip how do you delete it? [06:32] anyone knows a good MMORPG? [06:33] for ubuntu? [06:33] Secret31: what kind? [06:33] Big_Brother: boot to root recovery mode and run: passwd name and you can sen the password of 'name' [06:33] lol runescape? youll spend years on it [06:33] WoW? [06:33] Eve online? [06:33] Secret31: http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/mmo/articles/20510.aspx [06:33] all of those games works great on linux. gold stars on wine [06:33] !games [06:33] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [06:34] Secret31: playdeb may have some too: http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/ there is a deb to add their repo [06:35] Secret31, Minecraft isn't quite an MMORPG but it's sandboxy [06:35] ActionParsnip, I dont really understand what I am seeing. I have 7 things in "Computer" (ubuntu, windows, another win drive another win/wubi drive a floppy and two CD drives) The fdisk shows me /dev/ (all start with that) sdb1 then disk sdc ITB [06:35] @ActionParsnip, tried those in playdeb, don't like e [06:36] hello [06:36] Big_Brother: you can boot to rescue mode and fix it from there [06:37] ActionParsnip, I dont really understand what I am seeing. I have 7 things in "Computer" (ubuntu, windows, another win drive another win/wubi drive a floppy and two CD drives) The fdisk shows me /dev/ (all start with that) sdb1 then disk sdc ITB ---then devices sdc1,2, 5 and 6 --- respectively caaled HPGS/NTFS, same repeated, extended linus and last linux swap/Salaris --- Huh? [06:38] ActionParsnip, nothing is strange. [06:38] sacarlson, how do i get into recovery mode? (i'm guessing this install is like 7.10 or so) [06:39] ActionParsnip, how do i make the new user i created have more access? [06:40] :) [06:42] Big_Brother: I'm not sure on 7.10 but on grub2 you hold shit at boot to get into grub maybe at that time it was esc key? [06:42] xD [06:42] you mean shift, sacarlson? [06:42] tripelbb: if you think about how you partitioned your disks and what storage devices you have it is clear [06:42] Big_Brother: opps yes shift [06:43] hello [06:43] anybody here can help me ? [06:43] djdojos: add it to the admin group [06:43] we can try L:D [06:43] blackshirt: without asking a question, no [06:43] ActionParsnip, how? [06:43] :) [06:44] !admin | djdojos [06:44] djdojos: useradd -G admin name [06:44] ActionParsnip: thanks.. [06:44] djdojos: with a little websearching, you could have found that [06:45] ActionParsnip: i have a problem with lsusb [06:45] blackshirt: ask and we'll see what we can do :) [06:46] ActionParsnip: i have a usb modem, when i plugin the modem and issuing lsusb..nothing output show at terminal, but when i unplug them, lsusb show the output [06:46] prima@Aspire-4520:~$ lsusb [06:46] Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp.

[06:47] This isn [06:47] MeanEYE: no.. it's evdo cdma modem [06:48] blackshirt: check if you have usb-modeswitch package installed [06:48] ActionParsnip: i'm newbie here [06:48] Hi, Need a little printer advice [06:48] MeanEYE: i have usb-modeswitch installed [06:48] blackshirt: my guess is it's one of those modems that act both as usb stick and modem? [06:49] This isn't directly Ubuntu related, but I've recorded an OGV file using RecordMyDesktop, and I'm wondering how I can view it as a stream from a website. Is there a plugin to do so? It seems that whenever I convert it to a more web-friendly format, the quality becomes too bad to handle. Suggestions? [06:49] ActionParsnip, it says the user group admin does not exist. [06:49] MeanEYE: can you guide me ? i'm still newbie [06:49] blackshirt: your modem is not recognized at all? [06:49] We just bought an HP Officejet 6500A ... having read that HP is very linux-friendly... and I've checked that this printer is on the list of fully supported printers, which it is [06:49] LorgonJortle: you want to embet ogv movie in web page? [06:50] But my colour prints aren't turning out [06:50] embed* [06:50] wth freenode is acting weird. . . . [06:50] MeanEYE, If I could do that and allow anyone to stream it, that'd be lovely. Do you know of a way? [06:50] I don't think it's using the black cartridge at all. [06:50] What do I do? [06:50] LorgonJortle: you can use JwPlayer, but "streaming" is not really the word you are looking for. :) [06:51] how to download and install wordweb dictionary [06:51] MeanEYE: i have paste output lsubs when i unplug them [06:51] blackshirt: you can't paste here... go to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [06:51] then give the url [06:51] MeanEYE, Would that support Windows/Mac, too? [06:52] LorgonJortle: yes, it's flash based player [06:52] djdojos: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [06:52] Ahh... excellent. Musch appreciated, MeanEYE. [06:52] Much, even.

[06:52] MeanEYE: ok, wait a minute [06:53] djdojos: the admin group must exist so users can use sudo [06:54] ActionParsnip, so how would i add it? [06:54] djdojos: not sure there dude, its probably got a special gid] [06:56] #ubuntu-cn [06:56] ActionParsnip: also /etc/sudoers needs to have specified users... [06:58] MeanEYE: here this is http://paste.ubuntu.com/577705/ [06:58] MeanEYE: the admin group (by default) are allowed to use sudo and is defined in the sudoers file [06:58] ActionParsnip: hm, not sure about that... [06:58] i want to check whether a range of mIPs can be accessed from my PC.Which command do I give? [06:59] blackshirt: your system doesn't see your modem... which modem is it? [06:59] taran: mIPs? [06:59] MeanEYE: I mean IPs [07:00] taran: ping [07:01] I want to know whether my PC can ping IP addresses in my LAN ranging from 10.61.11.1 to 10.61.11.180. Which command do I give? [07:02] ActionParsnip, nothing is strange. but the extra drives doent show at all. it only shows the 1T drive not the 2 other 40G drives or the phone.

Then the Screen goes back to the neutral screen on the phone.) I am stumped. I want to get some pictures off this [07:37] phone. There is no microSD card in the slot and never has been. -Where do I go from here.

[07:38] do something like ls -lrt in /dev/ directory and that might show the device file for the USB ....mount it to the filesystem tripelb [07:38] tripelbb: hmm.. sounds like you're doing the right thing there..

[07:42] You either set it in the GUI or in your /etc/apt/sources.list [07:42] Whatever canonical calls synaptic these days [07:42] So lets say check for files created right after you plugged the LG Phone .... and that should be the device file for the LG phone !

[08:11] oliver_, :i did that,no change,what happen when i type those commands? [08:12] sugoruyo: about the package or the software? [08:12] recognosco: about the packages' metadata [08:13] hi all [08:13] sugoruyo: the top lines are the name and installed versions. The list below are what versions are available and on what server [08:13] i'm trying to start ubuntu 10.10 on my PC... but it won't start [08:14] guest123456: won't start means in detail? [08:14] recognosco: what i want to know is what exactly those things mean, e.g. when a package says its priority is optional, or it suggests packages x and y, what exactly do those things mean on a technical level - how does the package manager react to that information?? [08:14] when I press "try ubuntu without installing" my pc will be restarted [08:14] sugoruyo: why does it need to be official? [08:14] p4 3.0 ghz northwood, 2 gb ram, mobo: asus P4P800E-Deluxe [08:14] guest123456: so you booted the 10.10 install/live cd intpo the live part and you would like to start install from there. what happens on the reboot? [08:15] kothaguy_ubuntu , should set your proxy settings [08:15] <_Neytiri_> i have a system i just installed ubuntu server on and i tried to boot it and it wont boot [08:15] <_Neytiri_> its just a flashing _ [08:15] oliver_, how to do that [08:15] elFidel, I want try ubuntu with liveOS [08:15] pc restarts [08:15] <_Neytiri_> how can i fix that [08:16] ActionParsnip: i'd like it to be from the designers of the debian packaging system, but it doesn't *need* to be, i just want to know more about what metadata the system keeps about a package, i'm doing some work on explaining linux to some technical, non-linuxy people and package management is a big thing in our context [08:16] like when you press "reset" button [08:16] sugoruyo: optional means you installed it or it was pulled down as a recommended package [08:16] guest123456, when you get to the menus with "Try ubuntu" do the check cd to see if there are errors on the disk [08:16] sugoruyo: you are looking to find out how APT works? the internals? === loic is now known as cadmium [08:17] coz_, yes, but restarts also if I press it [08:17] sugoruyo: the suggested packages are nice to have but are nonessential [08:17] recognosco: not programming stuff, just the technical details on what the package manager does with that info [08:17] but no errors are in the cd because i installed it on my pc with virtualbox [08:18] ActionParsnip: yeah, i get that, but i doubt it's documented as such by the designers of dpkg [08:18] maybe i should ask in debian [08:18] kothaguy_ubuntu, for example export http_proxy="http://192.168.0.10:8080" [08:18] I need a text editor with collapseable text [08:18] sugoruyo: i think the best way would be to look at the source code apt [08:18] guest123456, mm do you still have the .iso image there? [08:18] anyone know of any? [08:18] of* [08:19] coz, yes [08:19] do you want the MD5sum? [08:19] guest123456, ok how did you burn the disc and at what speed? [08:19] 12x on a rewritable disc [08:20] sugoruyo: it will be very documented. So people coding apps usd the same stuff [08:20] guest123456, retry at 1x [08:20] can some1 tell me about enlightment desktop? [08:20] but i installed ubuntu on a VM throught this cd [08:20] and all went right [08:20] guest123456, if the md5sums were correct then something may have occured during the burn [08:20] Hi, I would like to understand, why I can not upgrade grub1->grub2. Is it because of using software RAID? http://pastebin.de/15903 [08:20] the problem is if i try to install it on my pc [08:20] guest123456, ah I see... [08:21] recognosco: i think that would be overkill, when you 'apt-cache show pkg' you get a bunch of data on the pkg, probably maintained by the pkg maintainer not the s/w developers themselves ('less they package for .deb themselves ofc) [08:21] sugoruyo: think about what a Linux distro ACTUALLY is and what it is madd off [08:21] sugoruyo: is this what you want? http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ [08:21] coz_: 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8 *ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [08:21] it's correct? [08:22] guest123456, does choosing check memory from that menu also reboot the system? [08:22] guest123456, which version of ubuntu is this? [08:22] my POST makes the memory test automatically [08:23] sugoruyo: many small projects combine to make the distro so the xorg team will work very closely with intel for their driver to work and it will ALL be documented [08:23] recognosco: it could be but i can't read it, i suppose it tries to bring me a version in my language but firefox won't display it properly [08:23] hello (passwd don't help) i need to change the password when i login to ubuntu [08:23] ActionParsnip: that's somewhat irrelevant to what i want [08:23] passwd don't help [08:23] sugoruyo: opens just fine over here. [08:24] guest123456, that md5sum is correct for ubuntu 10.10 32 bit ..yes [08:25] sugoruyo: you doubt the documentation of dpkg. I'm telling you it is due to the nature of Linux [08:25] recognosco: well, maybe your language uses the latin alphabet, i'm greek, it brings me the greek version but ff opens it with Western encoding... [08:25] mix22891: if "passwd" won't change your password, you broke your system. its the correct tool for it === pooky_ is now known as pooky [08:25] sugoruyo: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/man/man8/apt-cache.8.html [08:25] mix22891: passwd is the cli command to change passwords [08:26] ActionParsnip: i don't doubt the docs of dpkg, i'm trying to find if there is one (and which one) contains the info i need [08:26] kothaguy_ubuntu , success? [08:26] sugoruyo: those two links are the most i can help you with. otherwise talk to apt developers. [08:26] llutz_ i change my password with -passwd , my last password is still the same [08:27] password [08:27] coz_, and then? [08:27] mix22891: how exactly, what was the command you issued? [08:27] recognosco: both the manpage and the other link just tell you how to use apt tools, stuff i already know, what i'm looking for is how the tools themselves utilize this info [08:27] passwd [08:27] in terminal [08:27] that's why i think i should ask in #debian === Guest77159 is now known as DarkDevil [08:27] oliver_, No,not yet,other than ubuntu sites ,i can open any other sits? [08:28] do i have to ROOT? [08:28] mix22891: no [08:28] ok === DarkDevil is now known as Guest35820 [08:28] sugoruyo: you're asking to know the logic. look at the source code. [08:28] mix22891: log out, re log-in, using new password [08:28] guest123456, well this is a bit puzzling... [08:28] sugoruyo: ask the devs I'm sure they can help. recognosco's link looks like a good start. You can also read the manpages of the commands [08:29] you know, the password when i login to ubuntu [08:29] when i open my computer [08:29] mix22891: thats the user-password [08:29] yes yes [08:29] how can i get root password? [08:29] user pass [08:29] sorry [08:29] mix22891: log out, re log-in, using the new password [08:29] what? [08:29] !noroot [08:29] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [08:29] mehdi_: no need for it, use sudo [08:30] mehdi_: you can't get any password. you may reset or change them. [08:30] mix22891: log off, and login then again [08:30] but how do i change user password? [08:30] please [08:30] mix22891: type "passwd" [08:30] mix22891: type this in your terminal: man passwd [08:30] kothaguy_ubuntu , can u go to System->Preferences->Network Proxy and look if u have direct internet connection or a manual proxy configuration [08:30] mehdi_: you can use: sudo -i and get a root terminal [08:30] mehdi: to be root simply type in terminal sudo -i and enter after then give the password of ur sudo === LP_afk is now known as LP_ [08:31] u know fedora has that possibility [08:31] mehdi: but its not make sens to use root in ubuntu as u will work with ur sudo [08:31] mehdi_: so? [08:31] i wanted to know does ubuntu has that? [08:31] I need a note-taking application and/or text editor [08:31] where you can collapse text sections [08:32] mehdi_: you want to change root password? [08:32] mehdi_: Just set up root password if you really need it [08:32] WXZ, look into xournal [08:32] ok does anyone know anything about Enlightment desktop? [08:32] WXZ, also look here http://linux.zachjones.net/2009/02/28/note-taking-software-for-linux-and-ubuntu/ [08:32] mehdi_: stick to sudo is the advised way. Root is not needed as you have sudo and gksudo [08:33] mehdi_, all I know is I dont like it :) [08:33] @coz y? is it not pretty? [08:33] coz_: thanks, I'll check it out [08:33] WXZ: codeblocks? [08:33] mehdi_: Ilike it, it's philosophy [08:33] no juk, any text [08:33] e17 would have been great, finished 10 yrs earlier [08:33] mehdi_, its pretty it just doesnt tickle me to use it [08:33] WXZ: you can edit lexer [08:33] i want to install it does it worth? [08:34] lexer? [08:34] WXZ: yeah take a look [08:34] mehdi_, well have you watched any youtube videos and seen screenshots? [08:34] im in the site now [08:34] juk: no, I don't want it to collapse certain patterns of text [08:34] <recognosco> i can't understand -man passwd [08:34] juk: I want to be able to format text as "collapseable" [08:34] if that makes sense [08:34] moin leute [08:34] i want to change -user password [08:35] mehdi_, ok well do research first...then if that is what you would like to do then give it a whirl.. althouugh I dont thing you can run compiz with that ,, not sure about that [08:35] it can be installed\ along side of GNOME rite? [08:35] anybody know how to configure Enna? [08:35] mehdi_, I believe so yes [08:35] @coz_ it doesnt have Desktop Effect? [08:35] I have some problems getting a release for the netinstall [08:35] ljsoftnet, this is the media center... yes? [08:36] !mini | readan this one? [08:36] readan this one?: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:36] oliver_, :It is direct internet connection [08:36] mehdi_, I havent used it recently so I dont know if it has its own effects or even if it can be used along with compiz [08:36] mix22891: google this: how to change user password in linux [08:36] tanx anyway [08:36] mehdi_: I neither think it is possible to run compiz under enlightenment, but it has own effects [08:36] Hi :) I built an application on my ubuntu PC, and i sent it to my friend to run on his ubuntu PC, but when he runs the executable nothing happens. Could this be caused by different versions of C runtime? [08:36] mehdi_: But everything is softerrendered [08:37] mix22891: the command is: passwd then follow onscreen prompts. You type you current password then your desired password twice to verify [08:37] mehdi_, as I recall enlightenment has its own window manager and you can only run one window manager at any given time and compiz is a window manager [08:38] ljsoftnet, I have neverr used Enna so I cant help with this one [08:38] !pm | readan [08:38] readan: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first.

[08:38] readan: and what's your problem with it? [08:39] ljsoftnet, is this what you mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPCDOEs5mGo [08:39] @ coz_ yea i can only run 1 windows manager? [08:39] cool i find it [08:39] i entered the normal mirror and it didn't finde the release... i even specified the directory down to the release-file and it still didn't find it [08:39] passwd +user [08:39] mehdi_, yes you can run metacity in gnome or compiz with gnome but not both so enlightenment would be the same either enlightenment or compiz not both [08:40] well i only use compiz [08:40] oliver_, :command not found message displaying in the termina [08:40] coz_ yes [08:40] but GNOME is the best [08:40] i even downloaded the release with wget from th director i entered! :D so i wonder why the installer can't @llutz_ [08:41] Hi :) I built an application on my ubuntu PC, and i sent it to my friend to run on his ubuntu PC, but when he runs the executable nothing happens. Could this be caused by different versions of C runtime?

Any solution, please (I have Linux experience) [08:41] readan: idk, have you checked launchpad for bugs? [08:41] mehdi_, then enlightenment may not be what you want however ,, I believe the developrs of enlighenment have a compromise between compiz and enlightenment named "E-live" [08:41] mehdi_: 1 win manager per x server. If you have dual screen you can run 2 WMs and even 2 desktops if you like [08:41] llutz_: like what? [08:41] mrpinky: is your friend executing it properly? [08:42] Hey can any one tell em where is ibus application located in ubuntu [08:42] ljsoftnet, I have never used it but i would look at that and other videos for it funtionality,, and read on their main page [08:42] recognosco, possibly not... do you know what behaviour to expect if there is a problem with C runtime? === user1 is now known as iflema [08:42] @ActionParsnip u cant find such things in iran :d [08:42] ljsoftnet, there should be a configuration section for Enna [08:42] can i change the permission of an exe file in a cd ? [08:43] abhayk44: no [08:43] abhayk44: cd is read-only [08:43] mrpinky: why do you think it is C runtime problem? [08:43] coz_ it does, but i could find a way to always show the control bar in videos [08:43] iceroot: http://learn-elisp-for-emacs.org/ [08:43] ljsoftnet, I would stay clear of moovida...last I tried that media center it pretty much screwed things up for me [08:43] abhijain: try running: alacarte and looking at the command executed by the ibus icon [08:43] llutz_ : like what e.g.? [08:43] abhayk44: you cannot [08:43] recognosco, it is the only difference i can think of between our systems (different versions of ubuntu) [08:43] readan: installer bugs? [08:43] kothaguy_ubuntu, maybe the blanks are the problem export http_proxy=http://ip:8080 should work in terminal and if it does add it to your .bashrc [08:43] ljsoftnet, mm you may have to google that ... ubuntu Enna control bar visibility [08:44] <\share> What is ESD soun server?

[08:44] oliver_: don't forget ftp ;-) [08:45] readan: launchpad.net [08:45] \share, I believe that is the "enlightened sound daemon" [08:45] \share, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemon [08:45] <\share> thanks [08:46] <\share> k is for multiple audio [08:46] recognosco, i transferred the file using zshare.net, which probably stripped all the permissions, so i will get him to check that it is +x now - thanks! :) [08:46] llutz_ : what should i enter into the console to skip the mirror-searching step?

[08:59] Hi anyone who knows how to make a usbdevice bootable? Have been trying with unetbootin but my laptop doesńt seem to find the boot files [09:00] I'm guessing not, since everyone is recommending other (decent) things. Thanks [09:00] Voita: Does your laptop support booting from USB. [09:00] ? [09:00] yes jordan... I installed ubuntu via usb [09:01] but now i need to have a bootable xubuntu stick [09:01] oliver_, :yes both the commands [09:01] Voita: try usb-creator [09:01] voita: use freedos [09:02] kothaguy_ubuntu and they gave no error? if so just try ur update command [09:02] thx guys I try freeds and usb creator and se what happens [09:02] Voita: Did you use unetbootin to make the Ubuntu USB that did work? [09:02] yes jordan but that was made in windows [09:02] Voita: FreeDOS won't help you boot (X)Ubuntu. [09:03] I have tried to use unetbottin now again with a windows puter but same result [09:03] pooky, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq-cpu-frequency-scaling-indicator-applet/ [09:03] seems ubuntu can t read my stick during boot [09:03] Voita: usb-creator never failed me. [09:04] ok reco... will look for usb creator [09:04] Voita: What exactly happens when you try to boot from the USB drive? [09:04] voita:u want to make bootable usb in ubuntu or in windows? [09:04] pooky, please ignore if irrelavant, I don't understand gnome jargons [09:04] nothing happens ubuntu boot like normal [09:04] I want it bootable for a ubuntucomputer [09:05] Voita: Is the USB drive listed as a boot device in your BIOS? [09:05] yes it is [09:05] first priority [09:06] hello #ubuntu [09:06] I found so many locations where .el (emacs) files are put. [09:06] voita unetbootin is the excellent one,select disk image,and select your usb drive,it works perfect,which ubuntu version r u using? [09:06] Voita: Try holding shift during boot to get to Ubuntu's grub menu (from the Ubuntu installed to the internal drive) and run "ls -l" and see if your drive is listed. [09:06] Where do you suggest me to put a downloaded .el file so that emacs can see and load it when required ? [09:07] kothaguy i have tried unetbootin 5 times now and 1 win win and the stick is not bootable in ubuntu [09:07] Does anyone know what might have patched earlier this week that would break one of my wine programs? [09:07] 1 with windows [09:08] did u formatted ur stick with fat32 [09:08] did u formatted ur usb stick? [09:08] yes I have formatted it several times [09:08] Voita: If it is try running "root=(hdX); chainloader +1; boot" where (hdX) is the drive containing the partition with Xubuntu, not the partition itself. [09:08] I'm having some odd behavior with wine, and mumble stoppped being able to connect. [09:08] Voita: unetbootin is total cack [09:09] jordan are you talking grub? [09:09] Voita: I've never been able to get it to produce anything resembling a bootable image, from any ISO [09:09] unetbootin works perfect for me on ubuntu 10.04 in my acer aspire one [09:10] i just wish it would produce a stick for me that works to [09:10] Voita: Yes. [09:10] kothaguy_ubuntu , can u update now? [09:10] kothaguy_ubuntu: the most I've got out of it is a broken-looking text-mode bootloader [09:10] Voita: If what I suggest works then there is nothing wrong with the USB drive or what unetbootin has done and it's instead some sort of BIOS bug. [09:10] ok can you please refer me to that information so that i can read more about it, not confortable with grub yet :) [09:11] I'm amazed that Ubuntu still doesn't have a USB stick image; that alone makes it one of the hardest distros to install [09:11] oliver_, :no unable to update,same fetching error occuring [09:12] kothaguy_ubuntu show me the command you executed [09:12] Voita: what are you trying to do? create a bootable Xubuntu USb stick from ISO? or boot into a USB drive Xubuntu installation? [09:12] sougata: that's just for changing the cpu freq, but thanks for trying. [09:13] gordonjcp: i use usb-creator (from Ubuntu) and it works perfectly. [09:13] sougata: I already did some google searches, kind of turned up empty handed, figured I'd check here [09:13] oliver:what you asked me to update,i just tried the ubuntu update? [09:13] pooky, yes I read . I did not use anything other than top [09:13] recognoso Iḿ trying to make a bootable usb using Iso with ubuntu in order to boot xubuntu in the sam puter [09:13] hello , every body.. [09:14] i have question in sheel script ...need help please [09:14] moata_u: ask your question (maybe better in #bash) [09:15] Voita: try making the bootable USB key using usb-creator inside ubuntu (apt-get install usb-creator-gtk) [09:15] "$("$@")" what is does exactly :) [09:15] recognosco: right, but that still requires you to have a bootable functioning install with X and everything working [09:15] recognoso I tried that several times last night with no luck [09:16] gordonjcp: Voita says he/she has an existing Ubuntu installation [09:16] recognosco: oh, fair enough then [09:16] i have ubuntu 10.10 workingperfectly [09:17] gordonjcp: oh. you meant in general? for people without ubuntu? [09:17] recognosco: and I've just noticed it's been recently packaged for Arch too [09:17] recognosco: I don't get why you have to jump through the iso hoop at all [09:18] is there a way to see when a package was installed using apt or dpkg? [09:18] gordonjcp: i agree. [09:18] moata_u: $@ contains a list of all given cli-parameters separated by spaces. [09:18] ok [09:18] recognosco: does anyone use these funny shaving mirror things any more? [09:18] llutz: got it for the filename. can the cron create the txt file in a path that includes the date? something like: foo > /home/Me/Desktop/$(date)/file.txt [09:18] Actionbarsnip : you there? [09:18] dt84: sure [09:19] kothaguy_ubuntu hmm no try to update in a shell sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade [09:19] llutz: it doesn't seem to work. the folder isn't created [09:19] gordonjcp: shaving mirror? [09:19] dt84: you might use /bin/date since crons env is very limited [09:19] I have now prepared another stick that I found. Will restart and see what happens :) Feels like Iĺl be back here shortly :) [09:19] recognosco: these funny round plastic things that people used to store data on, can't remember what they're called [09:19] oliver do you get (comand not found)? [09:19] dt84: ahh, the path has to exist, mkdir /path/$(date) before [09:20] gordonjcp: you bet. i work part time at staples. [09:20] kothaguy_ubuntu thing is that when u just export the http_proxy in a terminal it's not set in env so it just works for the terminal you executed the command in [09:20] recognosco: in all seriousness, I don't think I've had a CD drive in a PC for about ten years [09:20] this laptop has one, no idea if it works [09:21] I wish it had a floppy drive, that would actually be useful [09:21] kothaguy_ubuntu if you wanna export it for all terminals you must add the commands to your .bashrc file [09:21] good old floppy [09:21] hee [09:22] What should I type in the search engine to get a description of Ubuntu's file hierarchy "convention" for storing emacs files ? [09:22] what systems updates came out today?

[09:24] kothaguy_ubuntu , maybe the repos you added aren't yet available for 10.10 , I assume those are just few updates that don't work, am I right? [09:24] if ya le me know [09:24] is there not ubuntu expert here or what? [09:24] baker: im an expert [09:24] gordonjcp: i work PT at Staples. we push spindle after spindle all year long. but yes, usb sticks are very popular. but people hardly buy external drives. i am sure a lot of them aren't getting backup done properly. [09:24] :) [09:25] recognosco: I don't back up, I just keep my work in a git repo and periodically buy a new hard disk [09:25] hehehe : do you know where i can find out witch updates came out today / 24 hours [09:25] ? [09:25] baker: what do you mean by a system update? [09:25] no [09:26] Somebody now how to delay booting in order for computer to find the usb stick boot file? [09:26] baker: regardless of how good we are, we are all volunteers, so we don't anyone anything. any help anyone gets is much appreciated and saying things like that make you sound ungrateful and rude at worst. just be aware of that [09:26] yeah [09:26] gordonjcp: as long as you know you're safe. [09:26] recognosco: well, I back up large uncompressible media files, by dumping them out to other disks [09:26] http://i52.tinypic.com/29xdybs.png How can I change the lenght of the menu ? there is too much space at right of each shortcut. is it possible to change it?

[09:28] fishyer: you're not plugged in [09:28] hehehe, create ".gtkrc-2.0" in your home directory and add the line gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-large-toolbar=18,18:panel-menu=16,16:gtk-menu=14,14" just change whatever you like :D or take another theme I guess that the other way [09:28] right, later all [09:28] http://i52.tinypic.com/29xdybs.png Menus' widht seem to change.

I'm testing FF4 on Maverick and fonts are not properly anti-aliased. Anyone know how to fix this, if possible ? I tried to build it with Cairo enabled to no avail. Thanks. [09:51] Voita, you might also want to log onto t h e #grub channel [09:51] Narc, not sure actually... I do know firefox 4 will be in ubuntu 11.04 where it displays properly [09:51] a ok thx coz_ [09:53] coz_: Yeah, I thought so, but I wanted to have a taste of it. :) I suppose I'll have to wait then. [09:53] Narc, do you have msttcorefonts installed? [09:53] coz_: Yes [09:53] Narc, if so you might want to try to remove them [09:54] CIAO [09:54] !LIST [09:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [09:54] Narc, I assume you already went into firefox preferences and playes those font settings..yes? [09:55] coz_: Oh, really. Can you explain why ? To be clear it's not just the web pages that are not anti-aliased but the whole interface. It seems it doesn't use Gnome subpixel smoothing settings. [09:55] coz_: Yes, I did. [09:56] Narc, mm some of the reports I have read on this issues at times point to the mscorefonts as a possible problem with no specifics so far [09:56] Narc, but I am also doing a search on the issue [09:56] coz_: Ok, thanks, I'll try to remove them. [09:57] Say I want to create a wireless network on my laptop that can access the internet via my own connection .. how do I do that? [09:57] Narc, how did you install firefox 4?

[10:00] coz_: Yeah, I tried that, but it removes and replaces the installed version of Firefox 3.6 with daily builds I think and I don't like that. Plus it's rebranded as Minefield. [10:01] Narc, ah I see [10:01] oh I get it. neat, never knew that [10:01] ethanol, this is standard in linux :D works everywhere [10:01] Narc, you could join the #firefox channel...

Other settings are default. [10:06] Ok, I'll try that and removing msttcorefonts [10:06] coz_: Thanks [10:06] Narc, ok...

[10:43] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/syslog.conf.5.html speaks of /etc/syslog.conf [10:43] nodie: /etc/rsyslog.conf(.d) since ubuntu uses rsyslogd [10:43] gartral: man pkill [10:43] but the file doesn't exist in my system [10:43] ok [10:43] thanks llutz :D [10:43] ok I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [10:43] stop joking [10:43] elFidel: no manpages installed cause it's not a big drive [10:44] hi, sorry this is a bit advanced, but I'm trying to figure out how to run a website using apache2 on ubuntu, from a port other than 80 [10:44] gartral: then check the docu of that command on an other way [10:44] a [10:44] I have put in ports.conf and sites-available/enabled what seems a good config... but it's not serving anything from that port. [10:44] how can I best debug this? [10:45] shomon: check apache logs [10:46] shomon: sudo lsof -i : does it really listen there? [10:46] ah thanks! wow I'll try that. error log gives nothing [10:48] im trying to get to a ftp site(from browser) but its like http://files.domain.com internally i get a blank page, at another location it works, so something is stopping the page working. there is nothing blocked on the router, but i can only add IP addresses to the outbound or inbound services. any ideas please? [10:48] hello everyone [10:49] whenever i try to access it by typing "cd C Programs" in a terminal ,, it doesn't work ,, what am i doing wrong ? [10:50] can someone PLEASE tell me how too kill a user? i reallllly need thisinfo [10:50] wine is not allowing to install wordweb. what to do now?? [10:50] gartral: 9mm, peng [10:50] gartral: kill his login-shell [10:50] how do i replace "spaces" from filenames with "_"? [10:50] llutz: HOW [10:51] gartral: man pkill and yes, its available online [10:52] DOokami: cd only takes one argument not two. "cd C" or "cd Programs" provided that those directories exist in the current directory should work [10:52] ljsoftnet: rename 's/\ /_/' * [10:52] erUSUL i tried both .. didn't work [10:52] DOokami: what are you trying to do ? [10:53] erUSUL: bash: cd: Programs: No such file or directory [10:53] llutz: unfortuently, the user in question is setup in a way that it was set to auto login, and i never unchecked that bit before deleting it, and not its grabbing control of gdm, and networking, and alot of other things.. it's holding the load average at like 30.0. I DON"T have time too drudge mans! [10:53] still struggeling with character encoding in files, they are encoded utf8 but they contain malformed characters (ie. german umlauts) I need to find a way to batch convert those characters to the correct utf8 character, but i do not even know the characterset used for those malformed chars [10:53] DOokami: i said « provided that those directories exist in the current directory [10:53] erUSUL: getting in the directory to complie a C program [10:53] DOokami: what is the name of that directory ? [10:53] erUSUL when i type "ls" i can see "C Programs" ,, that means i'm at "home" right ? [10:54] gartral: but you have time enough to whine here... [10:54] DOokami: ok so is a dir with spaces ... use « cd "C Programs" » [10:54] erUSUL worked :D [10:54] How to install windows application wordweb as wine is not allowing to install [10:54] thanks a lot :) [10:56] llutz_ it only worked on the first word, and didn't continue on the next word [10:56] llutz_: i'm not whining, i just tryed sudo pkill -u user and it threw username user is invalid (yes, the user in question is just named user) [10:56] i wish i could change the channel on wlan0 and mon0 in aircrack AAAAHHHHHHH [10:56] Hello.

[11:01] joeskil: #ubuntu-server exists but you can ask here too [11:02] llutz_: ok, how do i get that? [11:02] I am not so experienced with IRC. But I found the ubuntu-server channel, and am hopping over there [11:03] gartral: id user [11:03] llutz_: "root" is supposed too have uid 1000 right? [11:04] gartral: 0 [11:04] gartral: 1000 is the uid of the first user created in a debian/ubuntu box [11:04] oo ok [11:04] gartral: on most systems 1000 is the first created user [11:04] grr too late agn [11:06] ok, got te user killed i think, but deluser still isn't letting me remove it === newbie53 is now known as eBittin [11:11] I think best way to stop a hack attack is to unplug the network cable from the back of the computer [11:12] shomon, or shutdown the router [11:13] find out how they got in... looking through var/logs for their IP address... although that might just show the address of another compromised box... [11:14] you would be better banning the IP than deleting the user, without looking through the home dir to find out what that user was up to... [11:14] ok, i did a weird workaround, i recreated the user, rebooted, stopped the user, switched "displays" and logged it out, and then removed it properly, thank you elFidel and llutz [11:15] shomon: oliver. You are both on the edge of correct, but that is almost offtopic [11:16] sorry, I got a box hacked into once and it's not nice... [11:17] shomon: I understand, and no, it is not nice, that is what Backups are for. [11:17] ok back to ubuntu stuff :) [11:17] Thank you.

[11:46] little-tux: server edition or minimal [11:46] !server [11:46] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [11:46] !minimal [11:46] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:46] !alt | little-tux [11:46] little-tux: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [11:46] ty so much [11:47] gnewb, not really, but then I've added the relevant modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, rerun update-initramfs and hope for the best, I personally want just to have the USB stuff accessible as I'm dropping to the busybox cmdline anyway => I hate to have to retype crypt passwords for half-dozens PVs especially when it's the same for all PVs. [11:47] hey, I've got a CD-Rom that worked perfectly well with the liveusb, but now that I've installed, it takes over 5 minutes to actually load any CD to the point that I can use it. How can I figure out what's going wrong and make my CD-Rom work again? [11:47] erUSUL: ironically enough, I could only get my new workstation up and running using server as a base [11:47] Just curious, I am able to SSH into my Linux box. When I logged into root it told me that I could upgrade the root program. I type in the command prompt and get a: "Welcome to root" message. Whas that a good idea to apt-get it? [11:47] gnewb, so I'm adding a small script to initrd that asks for one password and tries to unlock all PVs with it. [11:47] as a side note, putting anything in the CD drive makes the entire system REALLY laggy [11:47] another one, a bit more hard to find: i have a problem, my external screens are not detected since i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 [11:47] erUSUL: problem solved, thanks for the help === king is now known as Guest97043 [11:47] 有说中文的吗 [11:48] Can someone help me and tell me and help me apply this patch? http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/attachment/ticket/742/0001-aireplay-ng-add-an-option-to-ignore-channel-1-error.patch [11:48] !zh | Guest97043 [11:48] gaelfx: the dmesg command may have a few clues [11:48] Guest97043: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [11:48] Gnea: just a lot of hard resetting links and nothing that gives a clear idea of what's wrong [11:48] i have been goooooooooogling, and no luck; just a guy saying "format it": he said "fresh install" but this is the same; and i m not going to fresh install with all the apps i installed, the tweaks, etc [11:49] i have the instructions on how to apply the patch, i just dont know which directory to move it to [11:49] yacc: That does make sense, I had a run in with one of those last week, it was a heap of code that I found out was uneeded. [11:49] gaelfx: perhaps if you ran it through pastebinit, more than one pair of eyes might see something different [11:50] theprototype: how did you obtain the main source tree [11:50] gnewb, well, I've run into plymouthd so I might get tempted into writing a proper script that asks nicely via the GUI for the password without dropping me to the busybox prompt. [11:50] When I type in su- I get: "Authentication Failure" If I type in the word root It tells me welcome to root. What gives with that? [11:51] Curly_Q, try sudo -i [11:51] Curly_Q: you should be using sudo -i === denny- is now known as denny [11:51] Gnea i found the link here ---> http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/742 [11:51] Thanks that brings back memories. [11:51] anyone know of a script to help me find all the files that are un-controlled(not installed by dpkg) ? [11:51] gnea i'm a noob so i'm not sure if that is what you were asking, sorry [11:52] http://pastebin.com/87W1m4Md is what my logs show everytime I try to put in a CD, or any time I try to do anything on that CD/DVD [11:52] does anyone know how to go from version 5.3.3 of php to 5.2.6 in ubuntu? I can't find older packages for php on synaptic... so not sure how to do this without messing it up [11:52] gnea i've read the instructions, the only part i'm confused on is where to move the patch to apply it [11:52] Curly_Q, sudo -i in the terminal put in your password and you will be root [11:52] yacc: THat was a solution that I used...sorta, basically the same. [11:52] basicaly looking to compute the difference between find / and cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list, but being smart about it and ignore home, other stuff [11:52] Coz did I do a bad thing by apt-getting the root program? I was prompted to download it. [11:52] Curly_Q, well no need for that [11:52] gnea stupid mon0 refuses to change the channel from -1 in aireplay [11:53] Curly_Q, just type sudo -i in terminal and you will have root privledges [11:53] I didn't do the sudo -i command but did su- and put in the password and it asked me to apt-get the root program. [11:53] there s something annoying too: in chrome, i can t type anything in the address bar, cause when hitting Enter, it doesn t search anything [11:53] I am in root right now via ssh. [11:53] Curly_Q, right so use sudo -i instead of su [11:54] theprototype: gotcha, well basically what you'll want to look into is to see if that patch has been applied to an ubuntu package that's compatible with your installation or not - are you on 10.04 or 10.10? [11:54] Gnea i'm on 10.10 (64) [11:54] Thanks Coz, I have to get those old Red Hat commands out of my mind. [11:54] Gnea i wasn't running in to this issue like, yesterday. Now all of a sudden its here. [11:54] gaelfx: alright, looks like you've got a SATA dvd drive then - have you tried using a different SATA cable? [11:55] Curly_Q, there is a way for you to use su in ubuntu but sudo -i does the trick [11:55] brb [11:55] theprototype: have you been installing updates daily? [11:55] coz_: dont highlight me pls, thanks [11:55] Coz, I thank you for reminding me. [11:55] trick: change your /nick then [11:55] trick, sorry? [11:55] gnea yea i just installed ubuntu and applied all the updates that it offered to me [11:56] Gnea: yeah, I've tested it, there's nothing wrong with the cable or the drive [11:56] gaelfx: Is the system pre-built or did you build it yourself? [11:56] Gnea: in other words, it works on other machines running different OSes, it could be the motherboard, but I switched ports and nothing seems to be wrong there either, just this drive is not used properly [11:57] Gnea: I built it myself, and like I said before, it works fine if I use a liveusb, it just doesn't work after install [11:57] gaelfx: have you checked to see if there's a BIOS update for the motherboard? those tend to fix silly little problems like this. [11:57] I dont respond more than once to someone complaining about " highliting:" or pinking them [11:57] pinging [11:58] Gnea: yeah, the BIOS is up to date [11:58] Gnea this is really frustrating. I had HEARD about the mon0 stuck on channel -1, wasn't encountering it, decided to play around today and now the issue is present. I thought my only issue was getting data packets slowly [11:58] Our company DNS server is from today on redirecting http://intra to our intranet IP address [11:58] This seems to be working in all windows machines, but not on my Ubuntu desktop [11:58] coz_: You have nothing to apologize for. Your text included the word, "trick" which happens to be a nick. His own client highlighted it for him and he blamed you! Hahaha!!! :) [11:58] Any idea how to flush DNS records? I've tried reconnecting and doing interface restarts. [11:58] rob_p, ah i see well not my problem then [11:59] coz_: exactly! [11:59] theprototype: well, in order to apply a .patch, you need to have the source code for aircrack-ng, so you'll need to get it from the repository and see if it hasn't been applied already [11:59] Coz, I have installed Xlaunch on Windows. I was able to log in with it but is that a GUI VNC? Do I need to install putty also with it? [11:59] red are you sure the upstream dns has changed? [11:59] trick, the word "trick" is going to be used a whole lot by many and most definitly by me [11:59] coz_: If it was, that would be a trick :P [11:59] coz_: i warned you once, i will not warn you a second time. [11:59] theprototype: otherwise you'd be getting the source directly from the website, which is usually a bad idea [11:59] It seems that putty is embeded with it. [11:59] are there any commonly used hacker/trojan/virus ports i should be sure to block in my router ? (I know 445 is one) [11:59] trick: stop it now. [12:00] trick, we are both warned then [12:00] rwat: im not sure what you mean [12:00] I just know that every PC around me has it working :) [12:00] red do you know about dig? [12:00] trick: no one's using your nick on purpose, you're the one that chose such a silly nick that's just a random word that people legitimately use now and then. Therefore, please stop trolling. [12:00] What is best mailutils (GNU), bsd-mailx or heirloom-mailx ? And why? [12:00] coz_: Just ignore the troll... [12:01] Gnea i didn't check either of these, because i was unsure if they would cause a conflict, but in synaptic mnger, under the "Other software" tab, should i tick Canonical Partners (source code) or just Canonical Partners ? [12:01] red, is this address accessible from a browser normally? [12:01] theprototype: well before you bother with that, I need to ask: did you already install aircrack-ng from synaptic? [12:02] Gnea yup [12:02] red: try "dig myhostname.whatever" on the command line [12:02] gnea thats how i know i have the channel -1 problem =( [12:02] theprototype: then there's no need for that. what you'll need to do is open a terminal and type the following: sudo apt-get source aircrack-ng [12:03] coz_: yeah, from IP I can access it, from the new "dns" name I cannot [12:03] testing dig, sec [12:03] What is the better MTA -- exim or postfix ? [12:03] theprototype: that should do the trick [12:03] koppe: yes [12:03] they are both better MTAs [12:03] Gnea Reading package lists... Done [12:03] Building dependency tree [12:03] Reading state information... Done [12:03] E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_partner_source_Sources - open (2: No such file or directory) [12:03] that should do the gnea. [12:03] theprototype: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:03] oops [12:03] rwat: "dig intra" says among other things: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 20543 [12:04] !ot | trick [12:04] trick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[12:04] red ok so it encountered a server failure getting your record [12:04] that response is from the DNS server? [12:04] red - that's from your dns server. if you share the hostname with us we could check it from other places for you [12:05] its inaccessible from outside, just a local company network intranet address === th0r is now known as Guest99689 [12:05] theprototype: er, could you please pastebin the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list file? [12:05] I'll just try to reboot my workstation just in case as well, annoying to reopen everything over but.. brb === th0r1 is now known as th0r [12:05] oooo [12:05] red if you want to test a particular you can do "dig hostname @server" [12:05] red where @server could be IP address of a particular nameserver you want to test [12:06] red e.g. @1.2.3.4 [12:06] Gnea: no other suggestions?

For each of these just download the latest source. I was able to simply run ./configure, make, make install for each of these with no hiccups." what do they mean? do i have to enter ./configue and then make and then make install while being in the...

Not sure about 'pre-release updates' You mean you upgraded to 11.04? [12:49] NeoCicak: no problem [12:50] NeoCicak: you can actually install multiple versions of the nvidia driver at once, just make sure you install the one that works with your card.... various releases are only for certain timespans of cards... [12:50] I have unchecked the Black Ports and Pre Release options in Software Sources and the run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade. Will that do it? [12:51] No just the Pre Release updates for 10.10 [12:51] Autonomiser: what's a Black Port? [12:51] Gnea: yea... i remember i used to be able to select the driver in 'additional drivers'... but it only shows one atm :( [12:51] Autonomiser: You mean 'Back Ports' ? [12:51] Autonomiser: if you installed stuff from them. those options wont remove the pacakges. [12:52] Yes sorry I meant backports [12:53] Gnea: well, irqpoll doesn't seem to have changed anything, I'll try the pci=routeir thing. It doesn't matter what part of the options I put that in, right?

I'm having an application (nodejs) that grows in memory with usage time. And I would love to take a dump of it to look inside and see what is actually stored in there. Is there anything I can use in ubuntu to archive it? [14:24] erUSUL: just yesterday, in fact. perhaps they'll check back in today.

[14:42] I need to add files to it and delete some of the files I kept for the reinstall -_-; [14:43] lifestream: why don't you use grep or at least set up some system that makes you confirm it, because (1) I don't think this is a common issue and (2) doing this in an automated way may cause problems [14:43] eslssh: mount -o remount,rw / [14:43] lifestream: OpenOffice will as well as most all the others.

[14:49] a partition [14:49] sry, i misspoke [14:50] cuz it will not let me do what jjp said to do ( mount -o remount,rw / ) [14:50] even when i do root [14:50] said remount is not supported [14:50] Elssha: what error do you get? [14:50] elssha: what is your filesystem [14:50] ntfs ? [14:50] yup [14:50] hi, i'm trying to have non smoothed fonts in chromium, is it possible plz ? My system font is verdana and I can use it non smoothed but not in chromium. [14:50] Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again. [14:51] hello, is there any way to allow users create groups without being sudoers? [14:51] like i said, i'm mounting it via pysdm but i looked through the options and none of them should make it read-only [14:51] remounting is not supported? That's news to me. [14:51] idk [14:51] running 10.10 [14:51] installed it on the weekend [14:51] elssha: mount -t ntfs-3g / / [14:52] that will make it read/write -able, right? [14:52] txomon: make everyone able to run addgroup ? but it may be dangerous.... [14:52] terry: to me as well, -o remount should do the trick [14:52] erUSUL: That is non an option [14:52] txomon: may lead to group identifiers exhaustion or collisions [14:52] what do i put as device, just the name? or like the sda5 thing? [14:52] Elssha: mount -o rw,remount /home/what/ever does not work? [14:53] this is the exact thing that gave me the error sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/cerberus [14:53] jjp_: may I create an script that creates groups as I want [14:53] Elssha: You mount mount points (directories, not partitions) [14:53] :) [14:54] Elssha: Maybe it is because you did not have sufficient permission [14:54] i used root [14:54] sudo [14:54] hummm [14:54] ~$ sudo mount -o rw,remount /media/cerberus [14:54] Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again. [14:54] Elssha: what is the actual error ? [14:55] read above [14:55] got the same one when the remount rw thing was switched jjp's original [14:55] elssha: what 'mount' says for this device ? [14:56] huh? [14:56] it's mounted right now [14:56] Elssha: grep mountpoint /proc/mounts [14:56] eslssha: yes, but with which options ? [14:56] Elssha: paste the line you got === max is now known as Guest60134 [14:57] elssha: mount |grep media.cerberus [14:57] huh [14:57] i think the program is interfering [14:57] i got this when i tried mount [14:57] mount /media/cerberus [14:57] Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. [14:57] The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which [14:57] could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. [14:57] !list [14:57] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:57] Elssha: Well, I don't think you can remount a filesystem that is in use. That may be the problem. If an application is accessing a file on that paticular mount point, you will probably be blocked from remounting. [14:58] but the program let me write to the volume before [14:59] elssha: can you actually umount the volume ? umount /media/cerberus [14:59] Elssha: You would have to close all applications that might be accessing files on that particular mount point and stop all processes that may be dealing with files on the mount point as well. [15:00] Elssha: you can find these app with lsof [15:00] unmounted [15:00] Elssha: If you can not umount it, then you will not be able to remount either. [15:00] unmounted it [15:00] now what? [15:01] Elssh: mount -t ntfs-3g /the/device /the/mountpoint [15:01] Elssha: Mount it rw [15:01] Elssha: do you know the device ? [15:01] nope [15:01] i know it's sda5 [15:01] is that what you mean?

[15:03] yup [15:03] okay [15:03] one last q on this [15:03] Elssha: remember: ntfs i *bad* [15:03] if i put that command ( mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda5 /media/cerberus) into start-up will that do it so i can uninstall the mounting program? [15:03] Elssha: no, update fstab [15:03] what is fstab though? [15:04] !fstab [15:04] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:04] https://store.unigine.com/products/stats/ :-)) [15:04] Elssha: As jjp_ says, make entry in fstab to suit your needs.

[15:10] sudo fdisk doesn't provide uuid, blkid did afaik [15:11] is there any way to make a livecd persistent?

[15:11] ruan: But sudo fdisk -l will tell you where your partitions are. [15:11] sudo blkid for uuid [15:12] and sudo fdisk -l for partitions on hard drives [15:12] erUSUL, I want a cd to be persistent like a usb dongle [15:12] also, I don't like the word dongle [15:12] df for fast usage info [15:12] andreylosev: a cdrom is a read only media what you ask is phisically impossible [15:13] what about cd-rw? [15:13] cube1: Try skype.com [15:13] andreylosev: tried a cd-rw? [15:13] is there a way to disable local Xserver in the gdm configuration? [15:14] ruan: You can not change the fact that a cdrom filesystem is not rw [15:14] terry: cd-rewritables [15:14] ruan: You can not change the fact that a cdrom filesystem is not rw [15:14] terry: i know it's not rw, but it can still be erased and re-used [15:15] ruan: Well sure, you can use the same media disk to write a new image to, (but that was not the question). [15:16] is it only in my install, or does F in nautilus doesn't really search files, but sorts the last accessed by date and type? [15:18] wolter: it seems to search for me [15:18] then it may be that I have nautilus elementary :S [15:18] wolter: lists files matching searched query [15:19] wolter: Myabe you have a dead key? [15:19] terry, dead key? [15:19] wolter: defective key or keyboard?

[15:27] wolter: Ctrl + f works fine for me on nautilus for search [15:27] nautilus elementary? [15:27] ill post a screenshot [15:27] !root | Ubuntu_Fedora [15:27] Ubuntu_Fedora: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:27] hello, how clean system ubuntu? [15:27] i mean temporary files etc... [15:27] ubottu, lol [15:27] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [15:28] funny bot [15:28] hello world!!! [15:28] ubottu, That means i should be user and do everything with sudo instead of root ?

[15:29] SimonPHOENIX_: Most of us Linux users do not find the need to clean temporary internet files, if that's what your talking about. [15:29] yeah jrib thats for you [15:29] how i can made sound mouse click in ubuntu? [15:29] http://i.imgur.com/P3cB3.png [15:29] Ubuntu_Fedora: yes [15:29] SimonPHOENIX_: But that is done via the browser. [15:29] I Toto's discography ^ [15:29] blackCode: just edit /etc/crontab [15:30] karla: no [15:30] blackCode: crontab -e as the user [15:30] blackCode: try crontab -e [15:30] \That means i should be user and do everything with sudo instead of root? [15:30] SimonPHOENIX_: If you're using firefox: Tools -> Clear Recent History [15:30] crontab -e, doesn't save [15:30] Ubuntu_Fedora yes, where's the problem? You get used to it :) [15:30] blackCode: it does [15:31] blackCode: it will after you save the file in the editor [15:31] ikonia, after i finish my edit, how ccan i save it ? [15:31] starting mysql gives me 'start: Job failed to start' [15:31] any idea how to debug that? [15:31] i mean, i want to clean temp files on server, there is not any browser [15:31] blackCode: when you exit the text editor it saves [15:32] till now i dont have any problem in using sudo its all fine...to me it is secure as well... I get another chance to think about what i m about to do [15:32] blackCode: well it depends, which editor are you using? [15:32] SimonPHOENIX_: Well, you selectively delete them. === Guest48028 is now known as DarkDevil [15:32] karla, your solution is worked :) thanks [15:32] SimonPHOENIX_: Are you low on disk space?

If you do, could you take a loot at this screenshot? http://i.imgur.com/P3cB3.png [15:33] karla, so, i go inside the crontab file and just add the script tht i need to run anywhere ? [15:33] blackCode: no, you should not do that [15:33] blackCode: you should use crontab -e to use the correct format to run a script at the desired time [15:34] blackCode: yes, and then save the file, after that crontab will be updated for you [15:34] ikonia, i used crontab -e, and after i finished my edit, i couldn't save the data [15:34] ikonia, i know how to do, but i want to put some commands there === denny- is now known as denny [15:34] to clean my system [15:34] blackCode: why couldn't you save it???

[15:35] blackCode: crontab -e [15:35] blackCode: the command is "crontab -e" not "vi crontab -e" [15:35] is unity as good as gnome? [15:36] blackCode: but you have to issue some form of command to save the file before you exit the editor, otherwise it's as if you did nothing [15:36] royale1223__: it's personal taste, try it [15:36] Hey guys I installed ubuntu 10.10 on VMWare Workstation 7, its on bridged connection.

[15:42] lftp -e "mirror -c $remotedir $localdir;quit" -u $user,$pass -p $port -d $adress <<<<<<<<<<< what should i add before quit so that it moves some files within the remote machine? [15:43] My EtherApe 0.9.8 shows network connections only flashing. What time parameter do I have to increase in order to change this? Diagram Refresh Period, Averaging time, Diagram Node Timeout, Node Traffic Timeout, Node Protocol Statistics, Link Traffic Statistics, Link Protocol Statistics, Global Protocol Timeout? [15:43] Xzil0: there shouldn't be a result, as you're not running a web server, you're trying to get out on port 80 [15:43] bullgard: http://etherape.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html [15:43] Xzil0: Then there is your problem. httpd is not listening [15:44] quit [15:44] oops [15:44] Xzil0: Or not running.

The issue is seeing what services are listening behind the ports. (If there is no service listen on a given port it is not open for traffic.) [15:50] ikonia terry apt-get doesm't work too it just says connecting ... [15:50] It's something on the host [15:51] czesc === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [15:51] ikonia: http://etherape.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html recommends to "Set node timeout to 0." i.)

[16:04] :) [16:05] pcypher: So what is the exact command you used to produce the output you sent us? [16:05] ruan, ive mostly seen the issues with adobe/flash and ubuntu/browsers has to do with the hw acceleration option [16:06] !list [16:06] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:06] terry: hrmmm... not exactly sure... it looks like cacti is just doing an snmpwalk with values gathered rfom an xml... im just starting to learn this so I am not sure. [16:06] my work likes to remind me that "Linux browsers are unsupported" every time I do my time card, despite the fact I use Chrome or Firefox. They be hatin'! :) [16:06] Thanks guys help.ubuntu.com has information about Samba thats what i was looking for... Thanks once again for support. you guys are great :) [16:07] But I am assuming it's mostly the compatibility of 3rd party plugins within Linux such as Adobe's random issues sometimes [16:07] terry: so pretty much, I can snmpwalk from this host to the other from terminal, and cacti can poll for data using snmp and does not error... [16:07] Camarata, disable hardware acceleration worked for me, thnx for posting possible solutions [16:07] Is there any visual learning for ubuntu as well ? [16:07] How do I reset my IRC password?

[16:16] I've got multiple SAS adapters connected to redundant backplane controllers. I'm trying to get Ubuntu server booting of of a this setup (referred to as multipath or MPIO). [16:16] !opera [16:16] Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [16:16] ibnu: ^ [16:17] how is beer free? [16:17] oh wait.. [16:17] you're free to buy it [16:17] ahayes: maybe people in #ubuntu-server are more familiar with that kind of set up ? [16:17] has someone used http://multicd.tuxfamily.org ? i'm trying to boot my multicd.iso from usb and some OSes cant find their rootfs [16:18] erUSUL Ah OK. So many channels. :) I'll try there. [16:18] guampa: we can not support some random third party iso image ... try in ##linux [16:18] hey guys I have a bit of an emergency anyone ahve experience with subversion? [16:18] ok [16:18] Joooon: just ask the question [16:18] hi [16:19] hey [16:19] is it possible to rfcomm connect 4 without sudo? [16:19] i want to automate the setup [16:19] is there a way to automatically connect the device instead or something... ? [16:20] Last night before I went to bed my SVN server was working fine, anyway this morning I tried to get my code from it and I get this error [16:20] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [16:20] .....my web svn is working fine and shows the code and every as still there [16:20] i want other users to be able to use a bluetooth device without the root password [16:20] Joooon: is this svn-over-ssh with the ssh failing maybe? [16:21] I did modify my SSH server last night would that be theproblem? [16:21] but I'm using http to host the repos [16:22] ubuntu 10.04. my sound card doesn't appear any more in pulseaudio. I see it with alsamixer. I tested the card with a livecd and it works. Different kernels doesn't help. Login as another user doesn't help either. Any ideias? [16:22] Joooon: but when you do an update your doing it over ssh correct? [16:22] yes [16:22] This server is on a rack server down the hall the only way in is SSH [16:24] Joooon: Well, ive not seent that error but I have had SVN get wierd on me related to ssh differences. So I would suspect that whatever you did with ssh is causing the issue. [16:26] hmmph all I did was change the port from 22 to 23 [16:27] Joooon: You need to make that change in the svn configs too. See here http://www.techper.net/2009/01/11/changing-port-number-of-svnssh-subversion-protocol/ [16:27] hi.. somebody can help my please.. === hwilde_ is now known as hwilde [16:28] i don't know what do with that [16:28] error while loading shared libraries: libgettextlib-0.17.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [16:28] Joooon: oops, thats different [16:28] raido, when im doing a regular svn grab is uses SSH ? i thought it only used http [16:28] caliari: what are you doing to get that error [16:28] Joooon: thats for a tunnel [16:28] caliari: what program gives that error? how did you installed it? [16:29] caliari: you need the shared library to run whatever program requires it [16:29] hmm [16:29] Joooon: Well if your doing it from the command line its using ssh. You may be adressing the dir of your repo which is in a WWW rood dir but the xfr is going over ssh [16:31] are ide/sata to usb devices compatable with ubuntu? [16:31] ooh no Im just accessing the server via commandline, im using HTTP for the actual grabs in my IDE [16:31] hylian: should be [16:31] aeon-ltd, that's good, because most of these manufacturers don't list anything outside of ms, ofcoarse. [16:31] hylian: ide/sata to usb as in external HDDs then yes [16:32] hylian: heh marketing trick, but yeah people have mounted them, as well as other peripherals [16:32] aeon-ltd, no, to work on internal hd's to recover data when a machine goes capoot. [16:32] Joooon: oh [16:33] I have a problem, I run Linux mint 10, but nobody in the help channel has been able to help. So seeing as Linux mint is derived from ubuntu maybe you can help too. I have just installed linix mint 10 and it has blacklisted my wireless and my graphics drivers, how do I fix that? === Guest19430 is now known as DarkDevil [16:33] raido, so like http://mydomain.com/svn/projectname and that was working great === DarkDevil is now known as Guest32547 [16:34] Joooon: ok [16:36] hi there, just wanted to ask what the default shell (/bin/sh) would be in an ubuntu 10.04 ? [16:36] i cannot get that type of info for every release of ubuntu [16:36] but i see people mentioning dash [16:36] and saw dash as set the default from version 6 of ubuntu [16:36] invisible_: bash [16:36] is dash still the default ? [16:36] invisible_: The default login shell for all releases of Ubuntu is bash, /bin/sh is symlinked to dash though. [16:36] aeon-ltd, i found the answer, which is 90+% yes. [16:37] invisible_: /bin/sh is dash in ubuntu [16:37] raido any idea? [16:38] oh, i understand now [16:38] Not sure if it's related to ubuntu more than httpd [16:38] had a few scripts distributed using /bin/sh which used bash functinality [16:38] But when I try and ping my server [16:38] and didn't know why they failed [16:38] Most of my requests are timed out [16:38] thank you very much for the help [16:39] Not sure what to do [16:39] 123 [16:39] invisible_: your fault if they use bash you have to use #!/usr/bin/env bash or #!/bin/bash [16:39] Joooon: sorry pal, I never used it like that, you have me at loss [16:39] invisible_: if you write bash-scripts, put /bin/bash into the shebang to be on the safe side [16:39] np, thanks for trying. [16:39] bah this sucks I needed the code from 9am [16:39] hey Linux mint has blacklisted my wireless drivers and my graphics card drivers. How do I fix this [16:40] indeed [16:40] I need to write a script that chooses a audio device, then an associated profile and then chooses said device for sound output. Any ideas where to start? [16:40] chaos_theory: you ask in linux mint support IRC [16:40] !mint | chaos_theory [16:40] chaos_theory: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [16:40] tyvm all [16:40] They can't help me, so I was thinking as they are so similar you guys could help [16:40] chaos_theory: sorry, no, we don't support mint [16:40] sigh okay [16:41] 111 [16:41] what is the off topic channel for Ubuntu? === andrew_ is now known as Guest68097 [16:41] !ot > killerkristin1 [16:41] killerkristin1, please see my private message [16:41] !ot | killerkristin1 [16:41] killerkristin1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[16:52] hoodoos: check "ulimit -a" [16:53] I'd like to avoid logging out/in when that happens if possible [16:53] kpettit, using compiz? === richard is now known as Guest56705 [16:53] v0lksman, I think so. It's whatever the default is [16:53] kpettit: use fusion-icon [16:53] kpettit, default depends on drivers I think.... [16:53] damn u erUSUL :) [16:54] kpettit: alt-f2, 'compiz --replace' or 'metacity --replace' [16:54] nice === toto is now known as Guest15299 [16:54] even better [16:54] hoodoos: yeah, its ulimit. search for ulimit in "man bash". Should have everything you need. [16:54] erUSUL, it look like https://gist.github.com/862530 === lhj is now known as ___XD [16:54] v0lksman, you rock man. It was compiz.

(Example: 123.qa.mydomain.com, 333.qa.mydomain.com). Is there to parse the hostname and store the build number in a HEADER? [16:58] now i d like to use an android phone as a trackpad, using something like Telephone mouse or android phone [16:58] android trackpad. Do you know how can this be acheived? [16:58] Guest15299, there are a bunch of android apps in the appstore for that. [16:58] CharlieSu: in a shell script? [16:58] Basically VNC type apps [16:58] erUSUL: in Apache.. [16:58] kpettit, do you know one working? i can t make them work in linux [16:59] nor in windows actually [16:59] gmote [16:59] shomon, thanks. [16:59] erUSUL, he he thanks, forgot i even had one [16:59] Guest15299, I'm checking... [16:59] CharlieSu: ask in #httpd ? [16:59] not tried it for a while... so ymmv [16:59] kpettit, android trackpad looks GREAT [16:59] erUSUL: yeah.. dead [16:59] товарищи, помогите настроить таблицу роутинга. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1409687 вот тут расписана похожая проблема и ее решение.

[17:02] Guest15299, that one kind of sucks. Requires you to install a client on the desktop [17:02] kpettit, oh i see. a lot then suck [17:03] i saw one by bluetooth, but my pc doesn t have bt [17:03] gmote also needs a remote server. [17:03] I wish they had synergy for mobile. I love that app for my desktops to share mouse/keyboard [17:03] I can't be the only one that needs to switch audio devices on the fly....IE PC speakers switch to Bluetooth headset for a call, back to PC speakers when done etc...is there an app? do I need to write my own scripts? how do others manage this? [17:04] kpettit, don t know it... [17:04] what is the idea of it? [17:04] hwy gys [17:04] v0lksman: device switching on the fly is one of the main selling points of pulseaudio [17:05] Guest15299, It allows you to use one keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. So I have a Linux/mac and windows computers all right next to each other with 3 monitors. WIth synergys I move my house to the edge of one screen and it starts controlling the next one. So it's seemless [17:05] kpettit, with bluettoth there is Telephone mouse [17:05] erUSUL, so how do you setup shortcuts? It kinda sucks to have to go into gnome-volume-control each time and change it mannually (in my case 3 settings on 3 tabs) [17:05] kpettit, this is cool!!!! [17:06] kpettit, nonetheless, i only have one old laptop, nothing else.. [17:06] v0lksman: maybe in the pulseaudio channel know? [17:06] I love it. You can setup region's on your screen so if you move your mouse to the right edge it controls computer X or whatever [17:06] erUSUL, not a bad idea! :) will try my luck there...thanks! === nick_ is now known as Guest84905 [17:07] this is cool indeed. i have an old laptop, with a damaged screen. so i use my TV as a main panel; sitting in my sofa, bluetooth keyboard, but no mouse... that s why i d like to get my mobile fr it [17:08] that synergy thing looks awesome [17:09] synergy is handy. [17:09] it can be a little confuiseing at first to setup. and I think theres some bugs where some meta-keys can get stuck,. [17:10] Dr_Willis, would you know of an app converting the android device in a touchpad/trackpad? [17:10] I've had good luck with Synergy... Linux laptop on the right, windows dual monitor machine on the left for work. The only problems I have ever had are with Photoshop === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [17:11] Guest15299: I got my pc working as a keyboard for my android.. seen some android-mouse app in the app store. but never tried it. [17:11] Guest15299: that altrix4g phone can work as touchpad. :) saw that in the store/demo.. which was a neat trick [17:12] Dr_Willis, thanks. I ll look at it! [17:12] With Ubuntu on a Windows domain, does anybody know how to prevent the need from using DOMAIN\ in front of the user name you want to log in as? [17:12] Guest15299, Are you going to be using your linux box for multimedia stuff? If so Boxee is a good app and it has a good remote app on Android [17:13] is there a download manager which tries to resume a download if it fails? [17:13] XBMC and vlc both have android-remote features :) [17:13] kpettit, basically, i d like to use the laptop. the screen is out. so i must go through VGA and TV, but it must go smooth [17:13] boxee uses xbmc i think dont it? [17:13] after x seconds [17:14] boxee, yes. [17:14] does XBMC finally offer 64 bit mode or are the developers still self righteous and think 32bit for life? [17:14] boxee uses xbmc I mean. [17:14] Roasted: Hmm . i just installed xbmc on my 64bit systems [17:14] !info xbmc [17:14] Package xbmc does not exist in maverick [17:14] Roasted, I have no idae. I've got it running on my ubuntu 64bit machine with default packages [17:14] Its not in the default repos. :) i frogot... [17:14] Dr_Willis, kpettit: right, but i don t want it to be a box. it s an old box, slow, and i fear installing more thinkgs on it could make him go worse [17:15] Dr_Willis, that answers my questions then. 2 years ago or so I was on XBMC and it wouldnt let me install it on my 64 bit rig. I asked on the forums and the XBMC team freaked that I dont need that much RAM anyway and why am I in need of more than 3gb of RAM, etc. [17:15] basically defending their view of 32 bit for life. [17:15] glad to see it's changed, though. that was a ridiculous conversation that day. [17:15] Roasted, Dr_Willis, etc: is it hard to install xbmc? is it okay with 512 RAM? [17:15] i almost bought a BoxEE the other day.. [17:16] Guest15299: enable the proper repos.. sudo apt-get install xbmc. No idea on ram. [17:16] Guest15299, I never ran XBMC on less than 2gb of RAM, so Ic ant comment. Last I used it it was easy. [17:16] Guest15299: you may want to stick with vlc [17:16] Guest15299, I'd install boxee instead of xbmc. The packages are alot easier to install and there are addons like the remote for andoid/iphone and such [17:16] i have some pictures in zip how to extract it via command in terminal? [17:16] hola [17:16] Hmm. I dont recall ever seeing a 'boxee' program.. just xbmc.. [17:16] Guest15299, I think it depends on your video card. Give it a try. Doesn't hurt to check it out [17:17] ok. so xbmc: no; vlc: wellm, i d like to use the whole desktop with a mouse... [17:17] http://www.boxee.tv/download [17:17] xbmc also is a bit heaver on the video requirements.. [17:17] oh they do have a 64bit version now. Cool [17:17] my wifi is not working..how to fix that.? [17:17] i tried to install the firmware..that also failed [17:18] bentech4you, what chip [17:18] bentech4you, you can try to click on "System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers" to see if it picks up anything. Otherwise you needs to google ubuntu and your hardware [17:19] my chip is "0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)" [17:19] anyone know any good software to compress PDF files? like an epic compression % [17:20] chaos_theory: best compression i've seen is 7z [17:20] What would stop apache from recognizing PHP? I can run PHP on the commandline, but it just shows a blank page on my site. [17:20] ruan: how do I compress it into 7z? [17:20] chaos_theory: unless the pdf files are very special indeed, you are unlikely to see a great benefit from any file compression. [17:20] !7z [17:20] 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 [17:21] how can i connect with my server from ubuntu like tunnelier to ubuntu also? [17:21] i have not any ftp server there [17:21] SimonPHOENIX_: ssh can do tunnles.. [17:21] thanks [17:21] chaos_theory: beyond the basic compression that most pdf files employ. (assuming you're writing the pdf files yourself) [17:21] i know, but how to open window like gnome for example? [17:22] SimonPHOENIX_: ssh -X [17:22] in additional drivers it shows that "Broadcom STA wireless driver" and the message is like "This Driver is activated but not currently in use" [17:22] sipior: do you know of any software which I can open and edit the pdf and change the quailty? [17:22] SimonPHOENIX_: 'ssh -X remotebox' run the app from the terminal you are in.. [17:22] msg nickserv identify r8az0d3a === brian is now known as jetsnoc [17:22] msg nickserv identify r8az0d3a [17:22] SimonPHOENIX_: thats not really a tunnel. thats just x forwa4reding. [17:22] hahahaha [17:22] lol brishu jetsnoc fail [17:22] try again jet :) [17:22] chaos_theory: the quality of what, exactly? the compression? [17:22] fail fail fail [17:22] Phail even [17:23] but my wireless is not working [17:23] sipior: well the end result is to have a odf which is quite a bit smaller than the one I have now [17:23] anyone using xchat? [17:23] Hmm.. Boxee on Ubuntu can do netflix? I dident think netflix worked on any linux.. [17:23] how do I hide the home, desktop, and trash icons in the sidebar of Nautilus? [17:23] mmmm good thing that was a throw away password and it's changed now [17:23] silverlightning: lots of people use it.

[17:24] larious: what kind of modem? [17:24] i can't see system tray icons on 11.04 unity [17:24] Huawei [17:24] good, do you know how do I connect to a server like maya.2012info.ca Dr_Willis? I cannot make my xchat connect [17:24] sipior: thanks I will give it a try [17:24] boxee downloaded, i click on the deb file, nothing happens [17:24] dogukan: see #ubuntu+1 channel. for 11.04 and i think that part is a work in progress. [17:25] silver: /server maya.2012info.ca [17:25] hmm. I can only use my webcam when running Cheese as sudo. Should my user be in some particular group? [17:25] Dr_Willis, ok thanks [17:25] Dr_Willis: do you have any Idea on how I can install it to work [17:25] jetsnoc, thanks will try it right away [17:25] What would stop apache from recognizing PHP? I can run PHP on the commandline, but it just shows a blank page on my site. [17:26] ziber: you did manual restart after adding php? [17:26] Ziber: after you installed php5 and libapache2-mod-php5 be sure to restart apache, common pitfall, module is loaded but apache knows nothing about it so restart the apache2 service [17:26] larious: what kind of modem is it? [17:26] jetsnoc: restarted it a number of times, no effect.

[17:32] Dr_Willis: can I show you something in pastebin [17:32] hi folks. Ubuntu seem to no longer have a "deactivate touchpad completely" checkbox. using xinput to stop the touchpad only works for a short time---- Ubuntu re-enables the touchpad periodically.

I've got some programs that are refusing to stop running [17:38] drc: i tried that, it doesn't work. i just want to turn it off because the buttons on the touchpad are part of the touchpad, but ubuntu thinks they're part of the pointing surface, so i can't really click on anything [17:38] SimonPHOENIX: depending on the OS you might have to install that seperately [17:38] Zuzak: Use kill(all) -9 [17:38] dto: the thing I like about the way I sent was that it has an option to disable only while a mouse was pluged in [17:39] SimonPHOENIX: if you are on a linux machine.. and using X.. you open up a terminal... 'ssh -X remotebox' log in, and run whatever app you want. it should appear locally. [17:39] drc: how do i start touchpad indicator now?

[18:53] LjL, dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade releases :) [18:54] rstacruz: sure it does. of course you need to change your sources.list first.

[18:56] schnuffle: the question is, how do I work around that, SASL seems to be the requirement, but it does not work very well [18:56] jiltdil: egrep == grep -E it uses more powerfull regex ( extended ) [18:56] adman: ssh? i don't follow? it seems to work fine... I just can't get back to running the upgrading process [18:56] hi, I can't get my live cd to boot, the cd is fine (I've used it countless times) when i try to boot it shows the loading screen with the ubuntu logo and four dots then eventually just shows a greenish stripy mush on screen and I can't drop into a shell using control alt F1, ideas? [18:56] *afman [18:57] erUSUL: plz give a example i want to see it [18:57] Richzilla: sudo apt-get update [18:57] filiptc_: You probably did a partial upgrade, removing the entire package and just putting back on would be much more simple than trying to parse through which part of the package you accidentally already installed.

[18:58] When I go to the download page, why is 32-bit the recommended version? Should I steer clear of the x64 version? [18:58] [TK]D-Fender: got it. thanks much [18:58] When I go to the download page, why is 32-bit the recommended version? Should I steer clear of the x64 version?

(Maverick) [18:59] schnuffle: trying 6666 now [18:59] elad``: It depends on what you want. Basically, if you are a new user, I'd say go with 32bit. But again, it depends on what your wants / needs are. [18:59] is there any way to tweak the unity launcher to autohide in 10.10? [19:00] elad i think you should only use 64bit if you need it for a reason, not all software supports it, yet... [19:00] is that an SSL port? [19:00] elad``: The shourt answer is, yes (32bit is recommeneded) [19:01] filiptc_: Use synaptic to remove whatever ssh package you have then just reinstall it. Alternatively you could use sudo apt-get remove [ssh package name here (probably openssh)] [19:01] 64 bits compatibility issues are things of the past imho [19:01] TanKCR: no, see http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13270 [19:01] usr13: Why 32?\ === jesus is now known as Guest31132 [19:02] can i make an init.d script depend on other things before running?

[19:11] filiptc_: the command should have done it [19:11] Silent93: i don't care. What video chip please? [19:11] sorry i missed that link [19:11] erUSUL: it ends with y/N [19:12] filiptc_: paste the output in a pastebin. [19:12] ActionParsnip: Geforce7300 I think [19:12] Toby: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb use the: sudo add-apt-repository based section. Way easier [19:12] erUSUL: never mind, I killed the process and the install continues [19:12] !yay [19:12] Glad you made it! :-) [19:13] erUSUL, ActionParsnip: thanks guys!!! [19:13] Silent93: ok then add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 should be ok [19:13] jiltdil curl requests the web page. It will take the web servers response of html/code and feed it into your terminal. We're simply using it as a troubleshooting tool. If you type curl www.domain.com and get a response with a bunch of HTML tags then we know that your computer is able to access web content and you may just need to fix your browser [19:13] no problem filiptc_ [19:13] (crossing my fingers now) [19:15] actionpartnership: once i use sudo to get the PPA where do i find it? [19:15] toby: in [19:15] if only i could type ur name :P [19:15] kilkor:yes when i type in terminal curl www.google.com it shows some htmal tags. so how to fixd it? [19:15] Silent93: install as normal. You may need to add it to your first boot to get a desktop. Updates will probably fix it [19:15] in Aplications>Ubuntu software center toby [19:15] !tab | toby [19:15] toby: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:16] toby: so just act ;P [19:16] Toby: if you added it right you will see wine 1.3 in software centre [19:17] jiltdil: I'm not the best with ubuntu yet. I may recommend just uninstalling and re-installing your browser package. There may be a more elegant way of fixing things though and I'm just too new to this [19:17] Toby: TAB is used a LOT in Linux ;-) [19:17] el2ro_: Didn't understand your question. Were you asking what the process is for building a multilib system? [19:17] el2ro_: Sorry, wrong nic [19:18] kilkor:ok no problem thanx atleast u tell ne about curl new thing to me [19:18] if i hit tab nothing happends....i considered myself great with computers before diving into linux... god help me [19:19] it is true that the next Ubuntu wont rely on GNOME 3 ? [19:19] Toby: you were probably just good with windows, there is a difference ;-) [19:19] toby: Learn to crawl b4 learning to walk [19:19] toby: Type "red" then TAB. [19:19] it is true that the next Ubuntu wont rely on GNOME 3 ? [19:19] toby: "red" then few TABS to get me. :o [19:19] toby: as long te letters you entered are not unique to a name you get a list with hitting tab 2times [19:19] it is true that the next Ubuntu wont rely on GNOME 3 ? [19:19] marlow59: yeah, its uses unity [19:19] ActionParsnip: thats given me a command line now, it did flash the screen with pages [19:20] toby: you have to type the first few letters of the nick you want to autocomplete [19:20] *pages of text [19:20] and why GNOME 3 is developped? [19:20] too fast to read though [19:20] marlow59: ask in #ubuntu+1 that is where natty is discussdd [19:20] red2kic: got it [19:20] marlow59: ubuntu is not the only distro of linux. many other may want to use it. [19:20] toby: Great. That's how people talk. Your nickname is in the conversation, it'll he hilighted. [19:20] marlow59: gnome isn't anything to do with ubuntu development [19:20] <[TK]D-Fender> marlow59: Because Someone thought "we should make Gnome 2 better" [19:21] seems to only work with u [19:21] toby: No. Because I'm using 'toby' in my line -- so your client recognize it and hilight it. [19:21] <[TK]D-Fender> toby: They are talking about IRC autocomplete which almost all clients support. This isn't a "linux" thing at all [19:21] toby: type schn and hit tab [19:21] Haha, yeah, but Ubuntu remains the most widespread distribution using GNOME [19:21] marlow59: There is also kubuntu (if you prefer KDE) [19:21] ok scnh works [19:21] He must be new to linux -- and IRC. :) [19:22] but like erusul [19:22] <[TK]D-Fender> tobAnd if it doesn't do it, then either your partial nick isn't enough to start getting matches, you aren't doing it right, or your client could suck. [19:22] xchat.... [19:22] is xchat bad? [19:22] Silent93: or try also adding the option: nomodeset and remove: quiet splash [19:22] toby: no [19:22] toby: No. XChat = Decent. XChat-Gnome = Bad. [19:22] <[TK]D-Fender> marlow59: And there is a difference between "Gnome" and "Gnome Shell" [19:22] Toby: xchat is fine [19:22] if any one has a problem with there mouse not working on ubuntu 10.10 try to disable the internal pointing device in bios to see if that works [19:23] <[TK]D-Fender> marlow59: Anyway there are dozens of articles you could Google up that will explain why Ubuntu decided to switch to Unity as their default shell in 11.04 [19:23] [TK]D-Fender: Gnom & Gnom shell? What's the diff? [19:23] ActionParsnip: ok so back to orginal probelm i ran the sudo command and check in my software center i see wine but it says i alreacdy have it installed i go to about and still have version 1.2.2 [19:24] hello, I got an RT3090BC4 wifi/bluetooth chip and don't know how to get it running in maverick, any help?

[19:25] anyone know a CLI switch to change mic inputs? [19:25] Toby: close software centre then run this: [19:25] v0lksman: Try alsamixer. It may have to do with it.

[19:26] red2kic, looking for a way to change the inputs on the fly via a script [19:26] It's ridiculous that the menu appears as soon as you click it, and by releasing the button, Ubuntu thinks you have clicked somewhere, and so you randomly select the first menu item [19:26] drc: yes [19:26] hello, I got an RT3090BC4 wifi/bluetooth chip and don't know how to get it running in maverick, any help for a newbie? === ryuguns1 is now known as ryuguns [19:26] Unless you manouver around it by holding the button down after clicking right button down, and then release it on "safe" area [19:26] v0lksman: Ah. You should ask in alsa and/or pulseaudio channel. [19:27] drc: i ran the sudo commands they have on there just not sure where to go from there. so far the software center already says have wine but i need the newer wine then i have [19:27] red2kic, yeah..pulse is pretty quiet...will check alsa but I think its a pulse thing [19:27] Toby: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [19:27] v0lksman: alsamixer [19:28] So, anyone knows? [19:28] hello, I got an RT3090BC4 wifi/bluetooth chip and don't know how to get it running in maverick, any help for a noob? [19:28] Is this problem only in Gnome? Does KDE work better? [19:28] usr13, alsamixer doesn't let me set a device by command does it? I don't see anything about it in the man page... [19:28] any good books anyone can recommend to bring me to the "crawl stage" with ubuntu? [19:28] hello need help here !

[19:30] jrib- what does it have to do with me installin a package ? nothing im assuming ? [19:30] @phonex01 waiting for help is what i mean by same old lol [19:30] toby: Well, yes. Also, it mean next command. You could paste them all in one line. [19:31] usr13, i press right mouse button, and a menu appear, right? [19:31] red2kic: i did paste them all in one line but it could be useful to know why that was there but i got it now [19:31] And, it appears *BEFORE* I release the right mouse button, right? [19:31] how to find my version on ubuntu [19:31] cinnabarisland12: there is a module for your chipset: https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090 [19:31] ? [19:31] toby: CommandOne ; CommandTwo -- Both commands will run regardless. [19:31] i mean version of [19:32] toby: CommandOne && CommandTwo -- Second command will run if first command ended properly. [19:32] schnuffle: that'll get my wifi and bluetooth combo working? [19:32] red2kic- or ; && and ; are the same thing right ? [19:32] red2kic, but in that instance command one will run first? [19:32] cinnabarisland12: it should, yes [19:32] how to find which port of network r open [19:32] ? [19:32] red2kic: click right mouse button, and keep it pressed. Menu opens _before_ you release the button, right? [19:32] sumit, netstat -tapn [19:33] schnuffle: alright thanks :) [19:33] joeb_: No, not really. Supposedly the first command failed, you're going to run the second command. That's ; [19:33] or remove the t if you don't only want to see tcp [19:33] joeb_: If first command finished without any hiccups, then it'll run second command. [19:33] That's && [19:33] Jonii: If unclicking the mouse button, actually slects something for you, I think there is a problem with your system, (and not sure if it is hardware or software), but something's wrong. I do not think that is normal for Gnome OR KDE.. [19:33] ty [19:33] so ; runs it regardless eh red2kic ?

[19:42] yeah, on Lucid now [19:42] Dcite: I'm on Lucid now === evilpleasure is now known as evilbadmood [19:42] usr13: I would say ubuntu is friendly, but the blunt of the power is in command line flexibility.

[19:43] ??? i don't understand... [19:43] toby: Windows have far easier learning curve. Open a terminal. Run "man firefox" (blank) or "firefox --help" to see options. That's it for every package. [19:43] Dcite: That is fair to say. [19:43] usr13: so, did you try it that way? [19:43] Night all.. [19:43] I can't find the info for my driver [19:43] jhelp my mouse keeps stopping!!

[19:44] Does anyone know how to set up higher resolution printing on linux? [19:44] Dcite: But OpenSource software is where the real power is, and it is not all CLI by any means. [19:44] marlow59: Honestly.. I never tried a CD style upgrade, it will likely be faster than downloading if you take such a route. [19:44] marlow59: ) well have u get any other answer other than mine [19:44] The settings seem to be capped at 1200 dpi [19:44] If that's so, how do I make my Ubuntu not think right-clicking menu items means I left-clicked them? [19:45] usr13: Yes the true power is in the software, though most tools with a few exceptions start from the CLI and later evolve into a gui. [19:45] I've got an HP Photosmart Premium C310a ...I installed the correct driver for it [19:45] Jonii: The left and right buttons have different function.

[19:46] Jonii: Sometimes, yes, when a menu option is right clicked, nothing will happen. Just depends on where / what the menu item is.

(Short on time right now) [19:47] Jonii: Make a video clip of it. You may be the only one with this problem. (I don't see any problem with my left/right click).

You tell me. [19:51] red2kic- ok coo thanks [19:52] usr13: well, if I could disable right-clicking from selecting things, that would work too, but I'd say ideal would be if releasing didn't select things, or if menu didn't open until after I released the button [19:52] So, is any of these possible? [19:52] Or, does KDE work better? [19:53] How do install the source for a specific package?

[19:57] yes, wait for minutés [19:57] red2kic: nope [19:58] red2kic: the problem is that _releasing_ after opening the menu by right-clicking is enough to select menu item [19:58] pixel4e: Enable the "USB Legacy Emulation" option in the BIOS setup program if it exists.

[19:59] : chammua: First, tell us what type if file it is. i.e. file filename.exe [19:59] That means, if I open the menu by clicking right button, I automatically select the closest menu item, _UNLESS_ I happen to move the mouse a bit away from the menu before releasing [19:59] Problem: Plugging in external HDDs and MP3 players in USB gives an error mounting, but printer works fine through USB. What is the problem? [19:59] can i somehow make it dependent on jack2 instead of 1 ? [19:59] <[TK]D-Fender> Zed`: Got your partition nicely resized?

[20:02] why does Ubuntu update the kernel so much? [20:02] The point is, that is obviously wasted effort, and I could override this simply by fixing the right-mouse button [20:02] where can i find it ? pls [20:03] Jonii, if you rmb click and release then the menu should stay up as well, and you can take your time selecting without holding any buttons... [20:03] Making it impossible to select stuff by right- or middle mouse buttons would work too [20:03] saintbasil: http://kernel.org/ -- That have nothing to do with Ubuntu. There are new hardwares released all times. [20:03] pixel4e: Not really, because few people ever need to do it. Details are in the man pages at syslinux.zytor.com. It will be quicker to a minimal install of the previous release that is compatible, and then upgrade to Maverick. [20:03] brontosaurusrex: only if I remember to release the button away from the menu, which means I gotta consciously move the mouse a bit before releasing [20:03] pixel4e: Try your luck with a BIOS upgrade if you have time.

[20:04] yes [20:04] Odaym: Try lsb_release -a [20:05] alright thank you [20:05] but there was another one, which can show the kernel, the kernel version , etc... [20:05] Well, anyway, I'd appreciate it if I could change how mouse buttons function. Or if I could change how the menu appears [20:05] where are drivers located? I'd like to copy them over to create a backup [20:05] chammua: What is QuickClient.exe and where did you get it? [20:05] Odaym: uname -a [20:05] Jonii: When I right-click-hold, the menu came up.

Is there any way to skip the choose between "Live" and "Install" Ubuntu when I boot the pendrive? [20:05] dajhorn: the problem with the bios is that it is a shitty vaio P and there haven't been any updates since the seventies. I'll give it a whirl. Is there any way to install alternate without an ethernet port? [20:06] red2kic: oh, it is [20:06] inside-out-bunny, aren't they modules? [20:06] oh`, qlinkclient.exe is project type capcha at freelancer... [20:06] Anyway, the point is, that functionality is stupid, and it could be made 20x more intuitive by fixing any of the multiple things I listed, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to have any tools to do that fixing [20:06] yeahyeahyeah: yeah, they can be (and usually are) compiled as modules-- but they are distributed with the kernel in most cases [20:06] So how to fix that manually? [20:06] yeahyeahyeah: what drivers did you want to back up? [20:06] could you give my any clue? [20:06] this ís my work :) [20:07] pixel4e: The alternate.iso should run without and ethernet connection. [20:07] chammua: What? What is it supposed to do?

[20:07] inside-out-bunny, basically the ones I currently have on my Ubuntu install of 10.04 [20:07] I want all 32 CPUS to be busy installing packages for me [20:07] dajhorn: at some point it wants to dounload packages and that's the only option. [20:07] i686 means it's a 32 bit machine? [20:07] accel: nobody implemented it yet? [20:07] what cause this error? Cannot find X11/extensions/shape.h. Make sure your CFLAGS environment variable contains include lines for the location of this file [20:07] I could be wrong but I couldn't find a way to bypass it. [20:07] accel: jaja! the task is i/o bound anyway. you 32 cpu threath will all be spinning waiting for the disk subsystem === gaurav__ is now known as Guest85963 [20:08] pixel4e: When it errors-out, you can 'exit' and go back to the list of installation steps.

[20:08] yes, I type image capcha to earn extra money === Guest85963 is now known as gauravbutola [20:08] yeahyeahyeah: there's no need to do that. unless you have proprietary drivers for weird devices, all future kernels will support what it supports today [20:08] for the most part [20:08] anyone know how to select which monitor on a multihead setup the top and bottom menus appears on? [20:08] inside-out-bunny, "for the most part", I remember I had to download a driver when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [20:08] accel: obviously you'd need to split the package installations by dependency, even then the real performance bottleneck would be most likely the storage not the CPUs [20:09] yeahyeahyeah: you mean nvidia/graphic card drivers? [20:09] dajhorn: I'll try it again. I might have to resort to upgrade from 9.10 [20:09] i have a good monitor hooked up to displayport and an older monitor on vga, and its defaulting to setting the menus on the old vga monitor :-\ [20:09] inside-out-bunny, a wifi driver [20:09] when i see "i686" in "uname -a", it means that my machine is 64 bit or the OS is 64 bit?

You could do something fancy like starting GRUB from a floppy and chaining the USB drive. === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [20:10] pixel4e: But that is more learning. [20:10] yeahyeahyeah: in that case what you'll need is the driver source code, not the compiled modules.

[20:10] Odaym: i686 is 32 [20:10] Odaym: it means the OS is 32bit, it has no bearing on the CPU [20:10] karla: yeah, but since it's an acyclic graph, it should be asy to see what can run in parallel [20:11] accel: I agree, do you know of other package mechanisms that do it? [20:11] I've never played with grub. maybe it's time. :) [20:11] inside-out-bunny, where can I get the source? [20:11] hi, does someone know a ubuntu docs chan please ? or translations ?

Note that to do a normal install to the drive you booted the installer from you need to do some extra work. (i.e. it's difficult to install to the USB drive while booted into that same USB drive).

[22:23] mickster04, i will keep futzing with it.... Thank YOU for your help and time.

[22:29] usr13: ofc [22:29] router: There IS a difference [22:29] usr13: ik [22:29] i shall see what i can find - thanks for the heads up on where to start :-) [22:29] router: what does ofc and ik mean? [22:29] Hi. I installed gnome teatime. But, how can I start it now? teatime does not work :) [22:30] I'm having a problem with a program attempting to use sound. It is addressing /dev/dsp; I think I can get around the issue by symlinking to that from the usual Ubuntu address for sound hardware. However, I don't know what that is. Does anybody know what the standard address for sound hardware is in Ubuntu? (10.10) [22:30] ugh... i hate acronyms sometimes..... :s [22:30] I have 2 operating system. first i had windows. than I installed ubuntu 10.10. I took space from windows's D disc. now I have a little space for ubuntu because I moved on ubuntu.

[22:31] router: In order to see what the exact path is, I would have to fire up my 64 bit system. (It's off now.) [22:31] usr13: ok [22:31] router: But will be glad to do it... if you need me to. [22:31] @sorush20: In honesty, I hadn't suggested synaptic. I would have either gksu nautilus /boot...or just used the terminal [22:31] @vexedemon...okay, I'll output my lspci, maybe you'll be able to tell from that?

[22:32] ok, gotta shut one down and unplug - kvm is full [22:32] any upstart gurus?.. i'm binding slapd to an ip alias and it seems that aliases come up late on boot which causes slapd fail to start... can i start networking "syncronously" or something? [22:32] geoff: its a start :) [22:32] vexedemon: no [22:33] atpa: I believe there is a timeout in the config you should extend it. [22:33] atpa8a: You might try asking in #upstart. [22:33] clav: odd. Let me look into it for you. Do you have a few minutes? [22:33] @vexedemon: http://pastebin.com/zPzwwFfu [22:33] vexedemon: which config? [22:34] Jordan_U: thanks! [22:34] atpa8a: You're welcome.

I tried as root, same diff [22:34] vexedemon: sure, all the time in the world ;) [22:34] mod: have you tried 'mtr' it is short for my traceroute [22:34] Oh no, ACER.

I made it overly complicated with the belief that I would never useit. [23:02] @Cody3290 It's the equivalent to the User Account Control (UAC) on Windows [23:02] I remember it, it's just a hassle to type out.
