[00:00] xD [00:00] i'm trying to change some ubuntu one preferences, but it's giving me a gnomekeyring.IOError when I run ubuntuone-preferences from the commmand line via SSH [00:00] I don't have a box. Mentioned earlier that I "borrow" internet from a neighbor [00:00] Holy crap, I'm not running any anti virus OR a firewall, am I safe? I heard linux is harder to break into... [00:00] ah. Do u leech the connection with WiFi? [00:01] !virus | Elvewyn [00:01] Elvewyn: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:01] Yes, I am using wifi [00:01] !firewall | Elvewyn [00:01] Elvewyn: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [00:01] @Elvewyn Linux is fairly hard to break into, you don't need an antivirus but a firewall certainly helps if you want one [00:01] oh [00:01] @Elvewyn Firestarter is a good choice [00:01] ufw is already installed [00:02] I thought I needed to download it. [00:02] I was thinking about getting a hardware one, in case I buy more PC's. Mine's anncient [00:02] it comes preinstalled with ubuntu @Cody3290 [00:02] Does it have a GUI, or should I check out that "firewall configuration" program too? [00:02] hello [00:02] I'm not that good with the terminal (yet) [00:02] hi [00:03] am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and all of a sudden am unable to play Youtube videos, I get the message adobe flash plugin has crashed.. Pls help [00:03] Elvewyn: I guess a virus wouldn't be able to do much without root access, once it has, AV wont help you :p [00:03] try the GUI frontend - ufw on my system appears to be some sort of iptables manager daemon [00:03] i did man ufw [00:03] I've only been using ubuntu for a month or two... [00:03] a month or two, and you only just realized you neglected to install a firewall/AV? [00:03] lol [00:04] I use KlamAV [00:04] That's one of the first things that I do when I get a windows computer (not that it does me any good) [00:04] No, but I though I didn't need it. [00:04] for antivirus [00:04] can anyone help me with running ubuntuone-preferences via the command line? I keep getting a gnomekeyring.IOError [00:04] Elvewyn: You don't need it. === canon is now known as Acid190 [00:04] Phew, good. [00:05] Elvewyn: Unless you are responsible for a CIA database it not worth it to worry about [00:05] Cia? [00:05] are you? [00:05] OH... CIA, nevermind..

[00:06] hello, does someone know a friendly hacker community for NOOBS [00:06] @bris man iptables should do the trick [00:06] I'd pass viruses to my friends.

[00:06] hmm [00:06] oops [00:06] b0g4nk1d thanks [00:07] Just enabled my firewall... [00:07] could I get arrested if i infect all the computers in my school to print 500 copies of the troll face as a senior prank? [00:07] I think so... [00:07] Or at least fined. [00:07] Cody3290 you could get arrested without doing anything [00:07] lol [00:07] Inks are expensive. [00:07] you do the math [00:07] drobole, someone that knows the weaknesses of systems and can efectively exploit them to gain access [00:07] is there an nvidia driver for 11.04 yet? [00:07] true [00:07] Cody3290: arrested, it depends what the policy is on your network usage [00:07] Cody3290: They might not take it up with the police if you're lucky but you'd certainly get in trouble with the school. [00:07] Code3290: depends what country u r in [00:07] could I get incarcerated/tried and convicted, is what I meant. [00:07] Cody3290: it may count under misuse of compouters act?

Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

They're for the root account only [00:20] the title of the error is Package dependencies cannot be resolved [00:20] Dend: You can change file permissions or owners using sudo chmod or sudo chown, but the only way to access lost+found is to log onto the root account, which you don't really want to do [00:20] www directory can not enter or i can not enter [00:20] anyone know where i can download GCC(gnu compiler collection) for linux?

[00:26] naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ? [00:26] ok [00:26] ubuntu's rock solid stability is great for engineers [00:26] schala1: use ~/bin unless you want everyone to be able to use it. /usr/local/bin is safe for self-compiled programs [00:26] hi [00:26] pooltable hi [00:26] how are you dude [00:27] scottnyc: i think libre office might? [00:27] 10.04.2 amd64..... upgraded via 'alternate' iso, NO internet, NO upgrade manager..... seemed to go well... but, upon booting up today, i am unable to get beyond a blank screen and flashing cursor..... both the live cd and the alternate cd HANG at the choices menu after the language screen..... the old 10.04 cd will boot up, but shows little square boxes for any letters...... How might i fix this problem? [00:27] okay because it says I don't have permission to modify it [00:27] meowski: just type gcc [00:27] ubuntu vs plan9 [00:27] lol [00:27] how do i fine where a program is located on the hard drive?

[00:29] skullboy: /etc/init.d/gdm [00:29] like to run fire fox 4 any way ?? [00:30] pooltable: look where the games are. it usually uses the same folder [00:30] !deb [00:30] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [00:30] bastidrazor: isn't it /etc/X11/default-display-manager that actually starts it? [00:31] mickster04 still new here in home folder i do not see games? [00:31] pooltable: how do you play the games? [00:32] mickster04: what game do you want to play? [00:32] pooltable: you must go file>open game> then the file is here?

[00:32] drobole: /etc/init.d/gdm is the script that starts the whole process. [00:33] pooltable: ? so you can access games? it will usually tell you where the games are held? [00:33] cody3290 download the driver the one on the cd/dvd might be out of date [00:33] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 with latest kernel. everytime I reboot I have to reinstall nvidia driver [00:33] Cody3290: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal [00:33] anyone else have this issue?

[00:36] runawayhacker: not sure b/c i don't have your card... but for ati there is a catalyst control center [00:36] none of my cron jobs ran last night and I haven't found a clue as to why. It is like the machine was asleep. Does the mode show up in a log? [00:36] runawayhacker: when i remove it, re-booting seems to be more reliable. [00:37] alphonso : one time I did do a cleanup one time of everything - including open source drivers [00:37] quietone: /var/log/syslog should show if cron ran or not.

[00:53] <\share> nameless`: cant you just shut up [00:53] alket: boot to root recovery mode and reset your password there with: passwd foo replace foo with your username [00:53] iso3: i.e. ps aux | grep $program [00:53] Is there a program to make softwarecenter download more quickly, or is there a way to make it download multiple files at once? [00:53] Ok, so I'm on BasicLinux 3.5 and you can run X11R6, but there is no desktp so all of the X apps have to be run from one of the other terminlas (usually CTRL+ALT+F2), but I can't execute any of my apps beause I don't know what to say for display. [00:53] iso3, ps u [00:53] iso3: ps, top, htop [00:54] Cody3290: use torrents [00:54] muelli: no, i rebooted several times then [00:54] x.e [00:54] ActionParsnip: how can i do that ? [00:54] I meant from within the Software Center. I know how to torrent >.< [00:54] actionparsnip: so are you saying I can ignore that error? [00:54] Speaking of torrents: Is uTorrent better t han the one that comes with ubuntu? [00:54] SX486: try 0 [00:54] \share: i'm just asking, give a little bit of context, is it for a bash script ? C program ? command line tool ? try to think a little bit before insulting anyone [00:54] \share: could make a script I guess [00:55] alket: hold shift at boot [00:55] By which i mean "Transmission BitTorrent Program" [00:55] Client, rather [00:55] Cody3290: transmission or even deluge blows uTorrent out of the water [00:55] And I only run it because it runs on my 486 [00:55] Got it. [00:55] alphonso: there isn't support for Lucid on the PPA you added. [00:55] <\share> nameless`: that wasn't a insult sorry if you got offended [00:55] sk_: in 10.04 the panel default is the top. when you switch workspaces the panel should be the same. to change the properties right click on the panel and then properties [00:55] SX486: its offtopic here, ask in a slackware channel [00:55] qbittorrent use here [00:56] ActionParsnip: Shift is not working ? [00:56] alket: hold it as soon as the system starts to boot, before the boot splash [00:56] alket nedd a new keyboard? [00:56] need [00:56] ActionParsnip: Do you know of a Slackware channel? [00:57] i have my default browser set to google chrome in preferences -> preferred applications but for some reason, firefox is opening when i click on a link [00:57] SX486: ##slackware [00:57] SX486: /j #slackware [00:57] ActionParsnip: pooltable : I tried again, it is not working [00:57] SX486: #slackware would be a safe bet..... [00:58] alket: what is the output of: lsb_release -d please [00:58] visual1ce: that may be linked to the program the links are in, if you are clicking them in say xchat, it may well have it's own preferences for that [00:58] ActionParsnip: I can't login, but my release is Ubuntu 10.10 [00:58] alket what key? [00:58] evolution but even just .desktop url files [00:58] When I scan for drivers, it tells me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [00:59] How to use pure-ftpd? I dont understand the documentation [00:59] alket: shift will show grub, as soon as the system POST beeps, hold shift and don't let go [00:59] And like, I can access it, but it shows no files [00:59] shouldnt it show my home directory [00:59] Filezilla is easier to use [00:59] whats the best IRC client for gnome (except irssi) [00:59] o.o [00:59] drobole, Xchat [00:59] drobole: there is no single best app for anything [00:59] drobole: xchat, i guess [00:59] personally, drobole, I use chatzilla which is an addon for firefox [00:59] drobole: in any OS [00:59] not xchat-gnome? [00:59] I find it more extensible than Xchat [01:00] drobole: none and all are best [01:00] Cody3290, but filezilla isn't a server [01:00] how do i startx via gdm [01:00] chatzilla here [01:00] There is a server and client versions, if I'm not mistaken [01:00] Some are bad though [01:00] actionparsnip: blasted I didn't upgrade to 10.10 b/c i heard they were going away from gnome - i didn't want to lose it. [01:00] drobole: if you want something simple to use, use Xchat [01:00] drobole: your question is as intelligent as: "what is the best coloutr of the rainbow?" [01:00] ActionParsnip: No its not working with shift, this is the third time im trying [01:00] Isn't there a GUI ftp server for linux? [01:00] I guess he's asking for people's favorites [01:00] pooltable: what do you mean with "what key" ? [01:00] or what we reccoment [01:01] nice [01:01] alket: if you are using grub2 which is default in maverick, you hold shift to see the grub menu [01:01] how do i startx via gdm [01:01] ActionParsnip: Your wrong [01:01] reccomend, rather [01:01] skullboy: you don't [01:01] ActionParsnip: So the chances are that I got malicious content by Mozilla Daily PPA ? [01:01] ya just checked again - preferred browser is set to google chrome but when i click on a html attachment or .desktop url file firefox opens the page [01:01] ActionParsnip: Your reply is recursively correct for any question [01:01] drobole: its not, there is no single best app for anything. Each app has different abilities. Not all users requirements and tastes are identical so there will NEVER be a best [01:01] alket what key is not working when you press it? [01:02] How to use pure-ftpd? I dont understand the documentation and when I access it, no files show up when it says its supposed to show my home [01:02] pooltable: Shift of course as ActionParsnip suggested [01:02] drobole: so no, it only applys to "best" questions [01:02] bastidrazor: i mean how do i get the x session to use gdm [01:02] well chrome/chromium is always better than firefox :P ff is clunky takes a heap of memory and its interface takes up way too much real estate [01:02] i prefer ff [01:02] i like firefox o.o [01:02] anyone know why flash crashes so much on ubuntu? [01:02] ActionParsnip: You know I cant deny that [01:02] firefox has better/more addons [01:03] CoNFuS3D: possible conflict of plugins [01:03] CoNFuS3D: the newest version of flash crashes frequently on all platforms. [01:03] sorry did you tray caps lock then key then caps lock off? [01:03] ive never liked ff... its interface has always peeved me [01:03] CoNFuS3D: it's a known issue with Adobe. [01:03] oh, that sucks then [01:03] Oh, Irreducibilis: http://filezilla-project.org/ [01:03] CoNFuS3D: instead of closing your browser just try reloading the page. that tends to fix it. [01:03] chrome is so much faster [01:03] CoNFuS3D: what version are you runing [01:03] Filezilla has a server, but it's for windows only [01:03] Cody3290, It says the server is windows only [01:03] drobole: i know, hence why its a useless question. If youcan constrain it some with things you want the client to do then it is an intelligent question [01:03] of flash, or ubuntu? [01:03] So run it through wine? [01:03] I only care about the server part [01:03] CoNFuS3D: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/flash-102-found-be-crashy [01:03] ^ [01:03] Run it through wine? [01:04] Wine? I'd rather have a native solution. [01:04] it does have some advantages though - like when i use firefox to chat here it plays a noise when someone addresses me [01:04] CoNFuS3D: try flash 10.3 [01:04] not in chrome [01:04] CoNFuS3D: its beta and I havent tested it fully yet but seems ok [01:04] but webchat loads so much faster in chrome [01:04] CoNFuS3D: what version are you runing [01:04] And I was hoping someone could just help me with pure-ftpd [01:04] True, native is always nice [01:04] flash version 10.2 [01:04] But this is the wrong channel, technically [01:04] ActionParsnip: In that case I'd rephrase to "Which gnome IRC clients are bad" [01:04] CoNFuS3D: if your OS is 64bit then you can try the 64bit flash ppa [01:04] #ubuntu-offtopic would be better [01:05] any ideas why klogd will refuse to start if i have the / on a usb disk (the same filesystem works fine from a nfs mount). "start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /sbin/klogd: Permission denied (Permission denied)" permissions are fine though [01:05] Is there even anyone in there who can help? [01:05] drobole: none are bad, some have fewer features but if they give what is required then they are not bad are they [01:05] There might be. [01:05] ActionParsnip: I can log in with Ctrl+alt+ F1 with my current password , how can I kill the login screen ? [01:05] drobole: flipping a stupid question doesn't make it intelligent :) [01:05] jdgordon: sudo [01:05] Never know unless you ask. [01:05] Irreducibilis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP [01:06] Or wait long enough for someone to help you in here [01:06] skullboy: sudo is not needed in the boot script... [01:06] alket: I'd grab another keyboard, or try the other shift button# [01:06] >.< [01:06] drobole: If you insist on getting peoples opinions join #ubuntu-bots and ask "what is the best irc client"> [01:06] lol [01:06] gnome is also refusing to start, dont know why... * Starting GNOME Display Manager... [fail] [01:07] is it the sso login? [01:07] drobole: why not try a few for YOURSELF and evaluate. You are using an OS which promotes freedom and choice, yet you wade into an irc channel and ask strangers what you should use. Smacks of Microsoft don't you think?? [01:07] Jordan_U: A bad client is a client with bugs and lacking userfriendlyness. I just didnt care to spell it out [01:07] hey all, so wats the news on the 2d unity QT working with compiz??? [01:07] jdgordon: ohh right so what is the prob again [01:08] drobole: Your question is not going to be answered here. Please accept that and move on. [01:08] drobole: userfriendliness is entirely tangiable from user to user. One person's easy is another person's hard [01:08] ActionParsnip: I'm not convinced you know who you are taking to either tbo [01:08] i have would like to try out unity on my maverick install but am wondering how well it plays with compiz? [01:08] jdgordon: ohh right so what is the prob again [01:08] k so I re-installed, restarted, and I still end up in the tty :( [01:08] skullboy: trying to boot this ubuttu FS from a usb key (it works fine booting from NFS). [01:09] drobole: it doesn't matter who you are as it doesn't affect the fact that you are asking questions which cannot be answered due to too many factors [01:09] ActionParsnip: I got many interresting answers [01:09] hello! [01:09] drobole: great :) [01:09] jdgordon: ext4???? [01:09] ext3 [01:09] drobole is a troll man [01:10] 1st time ubuntu user [01:10] this os rocks [01:10] Me too, lol [01:10] skullboy: filesystem came from untarring stright to a clean ext3 partition as sudo [01:10] congrats legendary and cody [01:10] Wait [01:10] don't you feel all warm and fuzzy? [01:10] Does it count? I've been usingit for over 4 hours [01:10] :P [01:10] is there anything extra i need to do to get mp3 and avi files working in ubuntu? i'm installing the 'restricted-extras' package now... anything else? [01:10] They should work already [01:10] visualice: so asking which IRC client ppl here think is best is really that unforgivvable? [01:10] @visua1ce yes it is quite toasty [01:10] Mine are working fine o.o [01:10] tomasm-: it should work out-of-the-box [01:10] 4 hours... i'd say ur ubumtu virginity has officially been broken [01:11] :P [01:11] Aw [01:11] I feel soiled now [01:11] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 8.10, I was trying to install my video driver (nvidia 96) but my kernel was not up to date so during reboot DKMS is trying to auto-install but can't find the kernel 2.6.34 (I'm still using 2.6.30) My question is If I install the newest kernel would it work or I need to install the older 2.6.34.X and what should be the last number (not specified by the nvidia driver)? [01:11] tomasm a player like vlc [01:11] yet somehow, clean, at the same time [01:11] It's an odd fealing. [01:11] feeling ,rather. [01:11] tomasm-: if you install vlc and gnome-mplayer it will pull in a tonne of codecs. You can also add the w32codecs package from medibuntu repo to maybe get what you need [01:11] Hey, do you guys know what's the in-depth linux guide named? [01:11] GringoStar: intrepid isn't supported anynmore in any way [01:11] jdgordon: ok so ur trying to boot ubuntu off a flash drive??? [01:12] !manual | Jonii [01:12] Jonii: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:12] skullboy: yes [01:12] There was this one guide that was supposed to teach you all there is to know about linux, but I lost the url [01:12] any have a usb 3.0 drive if so what are the read wright speeds? [01:12] Thanks anyway... [01:12] Jonii: I don't think there is enough web space to contain ALL linux can do [01:12] jdgordon: live or non live [01:12] !EOL | GringoStar [01:12] GringoStar: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:13] ActionParsnip: that was still what the front page promised. I think it was some few hundred pages of heavy text [01:13] jdgordon: live or non live [01:13] Written mainly for Debian [01:13] How do I enable my firewall again? [01:14] skullboy: I have a fully working filesystem which was booted over NFS. I tarred it and untarred it to the usb disk and fixed the kernel boot command to mount the usb instead of nfs, gnome and klogd wont start, nothing else has changed from the working configuration [01:14] Jonii: read the manpage for mencoder, imagine the possibilities just by that one command [01:14] just type "ufw" in my terminal? [01:14] sweet [01:14] ubuntu manual [01:14] i shall learn soon enough!

[01:20] twiztid : obiously [01:21] dataviruset: you want to get the password of a ubuntu user ? [01:21] skullboy: compiz effects are perfect and glx gears are smooth... the kernal is on kernal mod setting...

[01:29] visual1ce: why don't you check their properties and see what they point to [01:29] pooltable: its actually very quick and easy... takes no longer than an hour [01:29] visual1ce: that would be fair to assume that [01:29] how do i check their properties aborticide? [01:30] ActionParsnip: sudo nautilus: nautilus doesnt list partitions in sliderbar :( [01:30] right click on them [01:30] visual1ce: are there drivers for your laptop from the manufacturer?

[01:30] nope [01:30] n2i: if you want your partitions to be mounted, you might want to get a look to the /etc/fstab file [01:30] nameless`: there's no point doing that if he uses an automounter [01:31] visual1ce: googled laptop model number and linux? [01:31] pooltable: i just setup my usb stick to be bootable and i install said OS thats on it to my system [01:31] lunch bbiab === dejan_ is now known as autoexec|bat [01:31] twiztid: the boot use flag is not required for linux === autoexec|bat is now known as keyns === keyns is now known as dejan_ [01:31] twiztid older computer here i need a new one to d that [01:32] do [01:32] But I dont wanna it automount at bootup [01:32] aborticide: KMS??? cause ya, no i dont have anything other than 'out of the box' and advanced compiz installed [01:32] n2i: no, gksudo nautilus do NOT use sudo with nautilus [01:32] twyztid send a step by step to shaggyeightball@gmail.com thanks [01:32] no matter how advanced you like your linux, the boot flag is not required for th elinux partition [01:32] I wanna mount a partition with auth as 9.10 [01:33] ActionParsnip: nothing change :-/ [01:34] pooltable: how old? cpu... ram...? [01:34] aborticide: what do you mean?

[01:36] Ok, so i install the ufw gui [01:36] it tells me "Suggested packages: [01:36] menu-l10n" [01:36] How do I get that, and should I at all? [01:37] Cody3290: that is a package. just install it. [01:37] Cody3290: a simple GUI for the firewall is firestarter [01:37] twiztid was thinking of adding one more GB or ram [01:37] I logout and relogin: nautilus can mount now [01:37] What is this problem? [01:37] i already did the ucwg install or whatnot [01:37] twiztid: you said you set up your usb stick to be bootalbe and install said OS to it. The only think you can do before installing an OS is to partition it [01:37] the installer makes the filesystem === rcmaehl_fallback is now known as rcmaehl [01:37] "sudo apt-get install gufw for a gui" [01:38] Cody3290: yes sure, it's just another alternative [01:38] anyone else is having trouble with Transmission 1.3.0 ? it "grays out" (unresponsive) for nothing and way too frequent [01:38] speakinf of which, where cna i access that gui?

[01:41] aborticide: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-wallpaper-changer-apps-for-linux/ [01:41] twiztid: oh its a DRM problem, switch to older version or alpha [01:41] aborticide: wait what?! [01:41] AnubArack: it supports all curretly supported releases [01:41] aborticide: would you een notice? [01:41] mickster04: its an experiment in transience, i want to see if the cat becomes the dog, or the dog becomes the cat [01:42] can some one help me blacklisiting an driver?!!?!? [01:42] aborticide: DRM problem? could you explain a little bit? [01:42] ActionParsnip, tnx, looking into it right now [01:42] Elitestatus: hey its pretty easy to blacklist a driver [01:42] Elitestatus: run: echo "blacklist name" | sudo tell /etc/modprobe.d/myblacklist.conf [01:42] didnt know the one that came with 10.10 was so old [01:42] aborticide: ok well try looking at making a video at 60fps then using that as your wallpaper, i dunno if they are compatible things to do but i know that each can be done :p [01:42] pooltable: look at step two on the link i sent you [01:42] c2 [01:42] Elitestatus: just change 'name' to what you want to blacklist [01:42] mickster04: i was hoping i wouldn't have to learn how to create videos [01:42] ok [01:42] Cody3290: Reject -- Reject all incoming packets [01:42] ther must not be an transition between the two pictures === lance_ is now known as lance--_-- [01:43] Elitestatus: and change tell to tail [01:43] Elitestatus: typo [01:43] mickster04: also i need it to be the background, because i have to do work while my screen flashes cats and dogs [01:43] damn [01:43] Elitestatus: change it to: tee [01:43] well maybe we can set a video as the background [01:43] Cody3290: Deny -- Allow all incoming packet -- but report as reject all incoming packets. [01:43] Elitestatus: it's tee [01:43] ive dont this before, but it was complicated, i had to set weights for all the windows [01:43] done* [01:43] Cody3290: Something like that. :o [01:43] aborticide: if it's a proper test then you need a decent amount of effort for it [01:43] ActionParsnip: can you pm me a sec mate [01:43] red2kic: Repot as reject? To me, or to the person/server sending the packets? [01:43] rport* [01:44] aborticide: what do you mean by drm problem? [01:44] mickster04: it has to be subconcious, since i had a pet cat, it may bias our experiment [01:44] Elitestatus: echo "blacklist name" | sudo tail /etc/modprobe.d/myblacklist.conf [01:44] twiztid: well that depends what you think 'problem' means [01:44] Elitestatus: sure [01:44] its not worth fixing it [01:44] twiztid i will have to look for mu usb tomarrow got to go t bed now [01:44] you save much more time just trying different configurations and versions of things [01:44] but thanks [01:45] aborticide: our? [01:45] Cody3290: From what I'm reading. It looks like "Deny" is ignoring the packets where "Reject" will reject the packets -- The sender would know the packets got rejected as opposed to no responsive. [01:45] aborticide: ok, so make a video, and set it to play in vlc in wallpaper mode, how about that [01:45] mickster04: well i figure i'll report back to you every couple of hours and let you know how it goes [01:45] Cody3290: You ask a girl out for a date. She rejected you. You acknowledge it. [01:45] mickster04: ah yes 'wallpaper mode' that's a way to do it [01:45] Cody3290: You ask a girl out for a date. She deny "ignore" you. You aren't sure. [01:46] i'm pretty sure no means no when it comes to women [01:46] aborticide: you still need the video though [01:46] aborticide: have you heard of a polling option that goes in the linux command line as a work around? at the time i didnt have the kernel that supported the option [01:46] mickster04: yes, i have no idea how to make the video, but can VLC play gifs? [01:46] red2kic: nice analogy [01:47] twiztid: a lot of the time this doensn't fix htings and causes another problem [01:47] aborticide: hum, dunno try downloading one and putting that thru vlc [01:47] Hi everyone [01:47] mickster04: well what about the cat and dog? [01:47] i've even made sure both creates are the same color [01:47] aborticide: oh so you made aa gif already? [01:47] aborticide: just try it [01:47] mickster04: well i know it'l work, but i don't have VLC instlaled now [01:47] i've used wallpaper mode before [01:48] in fact i first learned about it in ubuntu [01:48] oh. [01:48] aborticide: ok, well i dunno if it can, that's all, what happened when you set the gif as the background [01:48] aborticide: you want to test your gif ? [01:48] THank you, red2kic [01:48] nameless`: yes, but i don't have VLC installed, the problem is if VLC can play gifs, not if it can play gifs as background mode [01:48] it can play anything as wallpaper that it can play in normal mode [01:49] and my background mode i mean wallpaper mode [01:49] by [01:49] aborticide: did you try just setting the gif as a background? [01:49] i dont have VLC installed right now, its ubuntu live [01:49] aborticide: you can install it on a live cd but just don't restart :p [01:49] is it true that sox has an ID3 renaming capablity?

I run Maverick. Anyone any idea? [02:36] Elitestatus, Linux is a micro kernel. Drivers are loaded dynamically as modules. So if you remove the modules . They are supposed to be removed [02:36] Jordan_U: no problem, can't find a thing about it [02:36] *sorry not micro kernel [02:36] rww: you're both away and opping? :P [02:36] :P [02:36] nezZario: Look for "UFS" support rather than "FFS". [02:36] Logan_: no [02:37] !ffs | Jordan_U [02:37] Jordan_U: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:37] Logan_: some times I do, though, so... ;P [02:37] Logan_: FFS is a filesystem. [02:37] Elitestatus, I guess I am not sure how to solve your problem [02:37] Hello All! Im a newb at linux. Has anyone used webmin to adminster ubuntu server? [02:37] rww: watch your language :P [02:38] Elitestatus, some will help you [02:38] !webmin | Unguided [02:38] Unguided: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [02:38] Logan_: The language rules are subordinate to common sense ;P === jumpaholic is now known as spiderworm [02:38] what's up? [02:39] !ot | distante [02:39] distante: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:39] Logan: is there something similar to webmin that a newb can use to get an ubuntu server up and running quickly? [02:39] Logan_: harsh? [02:39] mickster04: no [02:40] Logan_: has he been around a while then? [02:40] Unguided: some alternatives are listed here: http://alternativeto.net/software/webmin/ [02:40] jrib: reading lengthy code could be an issue, but I want to put a different theme on ubuntu. is the only site with an existing repository the link-site from the appearance preferences? [02:40] mickster04: don't think so === Guest32906 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest88693 [02:41] Logan: Thanks. I'm a strong auditory/visual learner. does anyone know of any podcasts I can use to learn ubuntu linux please? [02:41] anyone have screen flickering problems with 10.10??? [02:42] sk_: I don't know what you are asking now. But it should be ok to use the ppa, I would use it on my desktop system if I was interested in the theme [02:42] Unguided: despite the unsupported status of webmin, i used it successfully on several ubuntu servers. you should try it out before judging it, unlike others. [02:43] Unguided: You can always search youtube, someone might have posted what you search for.. [02:43] x3cion: thanks for the advice. [02:43] twiztid: what video chip are you using? [02:43] can someone suggest a cluster job management system that doesn't suck? (ie, not sun grid engine) [02:44] ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon X1300 R515 i believe === paijo is now known as blackshirt [02:44] twiztid: tried a higher / lower refresh rate? [02:44] Uhm, Was it here I read people saying Flash crashed on their browser? It just happened to me too, first time ever... Any light on the issue? [02:45] hey, I'm working on an ubuntu based linux distro. When I change /etc/lsb-release to be custom to this distro, it breaks most of apt/package management. It tries to look for repositories with the name of my distro, not with maverick. However, if I use "maverick", other things do not display correctly. How can I fix this? [02:45] KimLaroux: use a pastebin to give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash Thanks [02:47] ActionParsnip: oh sorry, I was wanting to spread the news about a fix for new ubuntu 10.10 installs causing 5 to 10 second screen flickering that was posted 6 days ago and COMPLETELY fixed it ANNND effects to still work! =) Apparently it affects quite a few people and so post #7 and #8 from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/665233?comments=all solves it!!! so happy now!!! =) [02:47] Ubuntu bug 665233 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu Maverick with ATI RADEON screen corruption" [Undecided,New] [02:47] haloo all [02:48] twiztid: nice :) [02:48] so anyone that freshly installed 10.10 and has a 5 to 10 second screen flickering the fix is 6 days old!!! [02:48] jrib: thank you! as a curiosity question, how many repositories do you link on you cpu? what ones? how do you check them? do you read their code? (could I check with you to verify repositories that are concerning?) Do you give control of your system to any repository you add? [02:48] ActionParsnip: thx ;) [02:48] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/578148/ [02:48] the dam driver is still being loaded, this is so annoyin! [02:48] hi, did chromium get fixed yet?

[02:54] desktop [02:54] help plz? i need a link to the linux script that has a popup with the text of a pm or ping like windows does [02:55] how can you get hydra GTK version in ubuntu? [02:55] why would intergrated be a ishue? [02:55] tukum: because they're crap at 3D acceleration. same reason they underperform for gaming.

[02:57] i used them to ddoss. [02:57] tukum: i don't believe they make integrated cards that large [02:57] goodbye. [02:57] graphics cards won't make a big different unless you are just playing games, really. [02:57] o.O [02:57] ActionParsnip, for linux? im just usin xchat [02:57] hey Heyden [02:57] phaedo: or want silly effects in compiz. which they do.

I try to keep mine simple. [02:58] yes that is waht i get [02:58] allright [02:58] kenesis: install the package named and it should work [02:58] Hi, Running 10.04. I'm trying to change the boot order in grub. I've edited /etc/default/grub to show GRUB_DEFAULT=4 which is the position I want to boot(the 5th position). I've run sudo update-grub. This however does not change the grub settings at all.. it stays on the default 1st position. [02:58] alright well whats the best brack graphics card that would work with ubuntu and windows? [02:58] Is there a way i can make my computer run faster?? Im in xubuntu 10.10 [02:58] brand [02:58] typo [02:58] KimLaroux ? [02:58] however I've just installed Ubuntu on a new partition, it asked me where should it install grub so I told it to install it on SuSE's partition [02:59] evidently it was a mistake because when I boot my pc I get nothing... no error, nothing, just a black screen [02:59] hello [02:59] I'm trying to install games from playdeb.net, it tells me to configure the repository by "Go to System-Administration-Software Sources, Third-Party Software tab," [02:59] tukum: nvidia usually has been support in linux than ati graphics [02:59] I cannot find what it is asking me to do. [02:59] the partitions are all there and grub is still on SuSE's partition but it's not booting [02:59] been... better* [02:59] speedrunnerG55, what do you usualy do when flash won't load? [02:59] alright thanks [02:59] ughhh i dont know [03:00] i would reload the page [03:00] but nothing works [03:00] it happens all the time [03:00] is there any Baobab-like Disk usage analyser for console? [03:00] reinstall ubuntu in the same partition that you put it in last time, but put grub in ubunti [03:00] ubuntu* [03:01] I usualy remove everything the follow the bare url... things starting with & and then it loads [03:01] from the live cd obv.. [03:01] can i remove/disable upstart?.. [03:01] ok, but will it recognise my suse and win7 partitions? [03:01] please keep in mind that win7 is not installed on a primary partition [03:02] yes it will. i garantee it. i have had the same problem on a dell mini 10 netbook and i got it working fine. [03:02] Radiobuxx do you want my email for any further help? [03:02] buzz* [03:02] ok, great, I will try it! thanks a lot! if something goes wrong I'll be probably be back [03:02] that'd be great!

I wish it was fixed [03:04] And flash crashed again [03:05] how to run gnome window like sftp://username:pass@domain to open window from terminal? [03:05] ughh with me. i can hear the videos playing but i can NEVER see then no nmater what i do [03:05] may I ask a question ? what different between netbook edition and others? [03:06] ohh when they are playing on an embeded player it works just fine [03:06] so i think youtubes new player is incompatible [03:06] and for somereason flash isnt updating [03:06] what is the path? [03:08] hey,is there someone help me out [03:08] helo mean [03:09] !ask [03:09] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:09] helo :) [03:09] mean: netbooks are basically used for internet browsing, e-mail, etc... [03:09] phaedo: or anything [03:10] is there any way to block a contact in empathy? [03:10] mean: can you describe more detail your problem ? [03:10] is there a way to remove the app tray on the left of netbook remix? sorry i didnt reasearch it yet [03:10] airtonix: can't really play high intensive graphic games on netbooks, though. [03:10] phaedo: i can [03:11] airtonix: what netbook do you have? [03:11] phaedo: hp mini 311 [03:12] kenesis: do you mean the large icon bar? [03:12] what is meant by "add something to the path" [03:12] yeah ActionParsnip [03:12] rebirth: it means append a path to the $PATH environ variable [03:12] airtonix: oh, okay. what games can you play? [03:12] rebirth: research the ubuntu help page on environment variables [03:12] rebirth: PATH is a list of folders searched by the interpretter for commands when you type a command. You can see the current list with: echo $PATH [03:13] phaedo:is there any features cut down? [03:13] i wanna just use cairo dock not this ugly thing to my right [03:13] phaedo: try urban terror, or penumbra [03:13] left* [03:13] it's really obnoxious that this game gave me a ring of slaying but not a single usable weapon by d:10 [03:13] phaedo: does it matter? the point is a netbook isn't some kiosk that only deals with the most basic of user operations. [03:13] kenesis: log off, log into the normal desktop and it won't run. You are currently in the unity desktop [03:13] Does anyone here know which periodic table program is the best to use for a student in AP Chem? [03:13] I see quite a few in the Software Center, and though I'm more than willing to test them all, I'd like to narrow down my choices. [03:14] hmm ill give it a shot [03:14] thanks again [03:14] I use.. a netbook as my main work station at the office, also runs a VM for basic tasks which need windows, runs Warcraft III and Diablo 2 and Starcraft (simple games =P), and it is used for programing. [03:14] !info gperiodic [03:14] gperiodic (source: gperiodic): periodic table application. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.10-5 (maverick), package size 125 kB, installed size 464 kB [03:14] (Netbook for me is runnning on an atom N270) [03:15] I wast hinkin that. It looked the most intuitive [03:15] Thanks, ActionParsnip [03:15] airtonix: yes, true [03:16] Great. I've got all the programs I wanted lined up, time to play some AssaultCube [03:16] That's one of the best FPS for linux, in my opinion [03:17] is ubuntu endorsed by a group of people? [03:17] * jamesdean77 ( NoNameScript 4.22 :: by greeny & mute :: www.nnscript.com :: www.esnation.com ) [03:17] What do you mean endorsed? [03:17] hey ActionParsnip i dont like the desktop edition as much. is this the only way? [03:18] jamesdean77: nobody cares about your nns version :\ [03:18] kenesis: you can use unity, or the classic desktop [03:18] hi everybody [03:18] LOls sorry about that [03:18] kenesis: you can customize the regular desktop more [03:18] Diamondcite: well i mean like how people get together and do things in that certain way [03:19] like an institution that certifies it [03:19] How can I view the source of a man page using man? (I have a .8 file in a source distribution, but it never seems to be "installed" anywhere.) I.E., how can I just get "man" to open a file by name (instead of all the path searching, etc.)? [03:19] cryptopsy: canonical maybe? [03:19] cryptopsy: Canonical the company is behind ubuntu core development, along with community contributions [03:19] no those guys are just the devleopers === fisted_ is now known as fisted [03:19] ActionParsnip, unity is the netbook one? [03:19] okay that's like saying IBM endorses the thinkpad, it doesn't make sense [03:20] since a few days, I've got some problems with my Ubuntu 10.04 updates. I can't reach http://ppa.launchpad.net/http/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [03:20] its like saying obama elected himself by endorsing himself [03:20] cryptopsy: If you are talking about a figure head.. I have no idea ^_^ [03:20] cryptopsy: Is there an Ubuntu support question somewhere in here? === skynet is now known as Guest18953 [03:21] kenesis: its default in natty, but the normal desktop is available [03:21] cryptopsy: try using a different word [03:22] cryptopsy: endorse usually means, back or support. [03:22] ActionParsnip, im on a netbook so i get a bit of xtra space and i like the layout of the app menu, i just dont like the app tray [03:22] yea but endorse doesn't mean technical support [03:22] i like it more than the desktop [03:22] cryptopsy: dell put ubuntu on their systems, if thats what you mean... [03:22] ActionParsnip: yea that's one form of endorse, but not really since it was optional [03:23] and most people chose windows [03:23] kenesis: you can boot to regular desktop and add what you like [03:23] So my hard drive says it's full even though du -x / says it's only using 90gb (on a 250gb drive). df says /dev/mapper/***********-root has 2.1mb free... where's the other >100gb going and how can I get it back? [03:23] is there a command to reset all settings pertaining to my mouse/touchpad, something went wrong and it wont scroll now now matter what I do [03:23] SoulPropagation: hey this is answered gazillion ways on google [03:23] overhead [03:23] cryptopsy: just because its optional doesn't make it any less === paijo is now known as blackshirt [03:23] ActionParsnip: no, but getting offended makes you less [03:23] ActionParsnip, lol i know you said that. but how would i get all the feature from the netbook one that i like [03:24] hi, if i wanted help for postfix on ubuntu, where would i ask [03:24] cryptopsy: don't tell users to websearch without giving some help. Technically EVERY question can be answered using research [03:24] does is there a really up to date PPA for gnome3 / gnome-shell? [03:24] ActionParsnip: no this is one of those common ones like 'how can i see CPU usage' [03:24] cryptopsy: when was I offended? [03:24] How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:24] ActionParsnip: you changed the question about endorsement to about ubuntu not being less [03:24] I'm all set up with a new HP Photosmart Premium C310a [03:24] cryptopsy: people ask a range of questions in here dude [03:24] i never said it was less because dell sells more machines with windows on it [03:24] The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. [03:24] cryptopsy: no, I meant less endorsed just because its optional [03:24] If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). [03:24] you felt the need to take the conversation in that direction [03:24] cryptopsy: keep the context in mind and what I say will make sense [03:24] how do I reset my mouse settings to defaults [03:24] I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. [03:25] how do I use a .install file? [03:25] This printer is supposed to be able to do 9600 x 2400 dpi for colour prints, how can I get Ubuntu to let me? [03:25] ActionParsnip: you can't even say its less endorsed because of that, windows has a longer history [03:25] Cody3290: what sort of file does: file say it is, the file extension tells you very little in ubuntu [03:26] cryptopsy: My apologies, it appears that when cleaning up my bans, I accidentally removed the one you requested. [03:26] it says plain text document [03:26] cryptopsy: ctually Linux was released 2 years prior to Windows [03:26] I'm trying to install numptyphysics [03:26] thewebsite gave me a .install file [03:26] Cody3290: what does the top line of the file say? [03:27] [install] [03:27] * ActionParsnip was wondering when s/he'd leave [03:27] Cody3290: can you pastebin the file if it's not huge [03:28] How do I do that? [03:28] just copy-paste? [03:28] It's only 8 lines, including blank lines [03:28] Cody3290: to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or a similar site, not here, yes. [03:28] Cody3290: www.pastie.org copy the content of the file and paste it there [03:28] So my hard drive says it's full even though du -x / says it's only using 90gb (on a 250gb drive). df says /dev/mapper/***********-root has 2.1mb free... where's the other >100gb going and how can I get it back? (Re-asking now that cryptopsy is gone >.>) [03:29] SoulPropagation: How big is that particular partition? [03:29] http://www.pastie.org/1654157 [03:29] Can anyone help me? [03:29] 221G [03:29] How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:29] Ahh, i have another question as well as the .install one [03:29] When i try to install GPeriodic, i get "Requires installation of untrusted packages" [03:30] and it won't let me install [03:30] SoulPropagation: So in "df -h" is 221G 90G 2.1M ? [03:30] no 221G 210G 2.1M [03:30] That 10G is reserved space [03:30] @cody3290 what won't install? [03:30] Originally the Ext filesystem reserved 5% of a partition for system critical tasks. [03:31] Right but du -xh / gives 86G / [03:31] GPeriodic [03:31] "GPeriodic is a small X/GTK+-based program which allows you to browse through a periodic table of chemical elements, and view somewhat detailed information on each of the elements. 118 elements are currently listed." [03:31] SoulPropagation: If you want that space back.. you can use tune2fs to change an option I think.. But I won't recommend such an action on your system drive. [03:32] SoulPropagation: Also things done with sudo can temporary ignore running out of space by using that reserved space. [03:32] Diamondcite: I don't mind having 5% reserved. I'm wondering why du -x says / is only using 86G, but df says / is using 210 [03:33] Cody3290: GPeriodic has an error in melting point of Neon [03:33] Where's the other 115GB going? [03:33] SoulPropagation: I'm not sure what the -x option means.. (checks man) [03:33] -x means ignore my usb hdd [03:33] I'll try one of the other periodictales then [03:33] thanks [03:33] single filesystem [03:33] tables* [03:33] Can anyone help me? [03:33] How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:34] SoulPropagation: No idea.. I tend to do something like... df -h /home to check one partition [03:34] HalfAWolf: what printer make and model? [03:34] when is libroffice comign to ubuntu 1004 [03:34] Ubuntu bug 1004 in Baz (deprecated) "UI request: baz mkdir" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1004 [03:34] HP Photosmart Premium C310a [03:34] mrdebuntu: you can have it now if you like? [03:34] The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. [03:34] If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). [03:34] ActionParsnip: it needs to be in the depots [03:34] HalfAWolf: grab the latest hplip and it may help [03:34] I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. [03:35] mrdebuntu: you mean repos... [03:35] yes depots [03:35] I've got an crm question... What's out there besides sugar; something in the repos. I've hunted and haven't found one yet.

[03:36] All the period table programs I try to dl give me the same popup [03:36] mrdebuntu: if you remove openoffice completely, you can then run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libreoffice [03:37] "Requires installation of untrusted packages" [03:37] SoulPropagation: I have never used LVM so I cannot answer, my swap is a fixed size.. [03:37] Cody3290: can you run: lsb_release -d; sudo apt-get update and give a pastebin of the output [03:37] slash0mega, I've got a method I've used, but it might not be quite right. Can you pm your email to me and I'll email you a .odt I've got on the subject? [03:37] Cody3290: if you get them from the repos just accept it? [03:38] craigbass1967: i forgot how to pm.... [03:40] Hey would anyone know how to install templates using ubuntu 8.10 [03:40] BlackWeb: 8.10 isn't supported anymore [03:40] !EOL | BlackWeb [03:40] BlackWeb: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:40] slash0mega, start typing there name and complete with tab [03:41] ActionParsnip: http://www.pastie.org/1654182 [03:41] I downloaded the ubuntu-8.04 template and its directions say to paste it into /vz/templates/cache === Guest88693 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest65103 [03:41] Ya still in the process of upgrading but last time i upgraded then had a problem with my sound and network driver [03:42] Hey all; is there an easy way to configure a system running Ubuntu 10.10 to do NAT+DHCP? [03:42] BlackWeb: Consider trying 10.10 in a liveCD before upgrading then? [03:42] last version i tried was 9.10 and 10.04 and ran into a [03:42] Cody3290: ok can you give a pastebin of: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list thanks [03:42] !8.10 | BlackWeb [03:42] BlackWeb: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [03:42] alright but as far as downloading a installing templates then do i have to install another program [03:43] slash0mega, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [03:43] BlackWeb: it's nearl 12 months dead === mike is now known as Guest7114 [03:43] btw.. what are templates? ^_^ [03:43] ya saved all the program packages need to upgrade [03:44] BlackWeb: yes you will need to install a supported release. I suggest Lucid or later as Karmic and hardy die next month (Hardy on the desktop, server will still be supported) [03:44] anyone have experience joining ubuntu to an active directory domain... i am having some difficulties [03:44] Is there a quick and easy way to configure a system running Ubuntu 10.10 to do NAT+DHCP? [03:44] ActionParsnip: http://www.pastie.org/1654186 no, thank you for helping >.< [03:44] I need help with a wireless card. My Vaio has a switch to turn the internal card on and off, it's kind of flakey so I am trying to use a pcmcia card (linksys wpc54g). Ubuntu will only recognize the linksys card when the internal card is switched on. [03:44] I noticed that on some distributions i tried then if you right click on screen it gives options like create shell documents and ubuntu 8.10 then it says no templates installed [03:45] so downloaded templates for 8.04 cause wasnt any for 8.10 and wondering how to install them [03:45] noremorese1: lookup Likewise [03:45] is there a reason icons would be corrupt with straight lines when booting into desktop with ati, but the logging out and restarting x fixes them [03:45] how do i check that which are file are in use and which files are copyed /used in memory [03:45] phaedo... i am a bit more advanced than that [03:45] Cody3290: try changing server in software sources [03:45] on the internet it just says to copy the downloaded file to /vz/template/cache but dont know what its talking about [03:45] ok... [03:45] and i am all the way there... i am just getting a message that it cannot see the domain controller [03:45] 123445 [03:46] but when i run net ads lookup dc [03:46] it pulls all the DC info [03:46] Improv: dhcp / dns can be handled by dnsmasq [03:46] !ics | Improv [03:46] Improv: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:46] BlackWeb: What are these templates for? office documents? Selective file types? Cookie cutters? [03:46] OpenVz is that a program i need to install templates [03:47] Action: Thanks! [03:47] like shell documents and things like that, I've used other distributions that are like that but ubunt 8.10 isnt when i go to create document after i right click says no templates installed [03:47] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what you mean...? [03:47] in windows with CMD you can type ipconfig to see ur ip\DNS name and soforth, anything similar to that in ubuntu? [03:48] How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:48] ifconfig [03:48] hayden [03:48] mainly just a little nicer, setup is what i'm hoping to get setup [03:48] Can anyone help me? [03:48] HalfAWolf: Ask your question, don't ask to ask :) [03:48] I'ved download a template at http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated [03:49] Improv: I did ask my question [03:49] noremorse1, allright thanks :) [03:49] phaedo: i can resolve by hostname and ip... and i went so far as to define my DC in the /etc/hosts [03:49] but it still will not see the DC [03:49] but starting to wonder if i need Openvz is what its starting to look like in order to install [03:49] the templates [03:49] BlackWeb: Open a terminal please, when you ls /vz do you see anything? [03:49] Improv: I said How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:49] which have no clue about openvz or what it actuall does [03:49] BlackWeb: If you have no idea what it does... why are you trying it ^_^ [03:49] HalfAWolf: With the right printer and software configuration, it should be possible; I'd verify the printer and then look at your print driver. [03:50] Hey all, I have a quick networking question. [03:50] I'm all set up with a new HP Photosmart Premium C310a [03:50] The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. [03:50] If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). [03:50] just says ls: cannot access /vz: No such file or directory "and tried running as sudo" [03:50] I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. [03:50] This printer is supposed to be able to do 9600 x 2400 dpi for colour prints, how can I get Ubuntu to let me? [03:50] so I am trying to get synergy going on two ubuntu machines [03:50] not having great luck [03:51] when I go to places>network [03:51] lol, just want to get the templates installed and after downloaded the 8.04 templates have no clue on how to use or install them and openvz is looking like what i need [03:51] they dont see each other [03:51] BlackWeb: Do you know what OpenVZ does? [03:51] but I can ping them via terminal, but not network tools [03:51] got a bit of a question myself [03:51] No, is it a program to install templates [03:51] OpenVZ is not a program to install templates. [03:51] how do i list all the packages I have installed on my computer by installation dates? [03:52] Go lookup OpenVZ on Wikipedia; it is used to virtualise Linux instances. [03:52] ..Blackweb Those templates are to be placed at the specified folder /vz/cache/templates and it should just show up the next time openvz starts... isn't it? [03:52] mainly trying to install templates cause on some distributions then when i right click on screen and create document other distribtuions have alot of options and my 8.10 just says no templates installed [03:52] anyone in here running synergy on ubuntu? [03:52] b0g4nk1d: /var/log/dpkg.log may help [03:52] BlackWeb: Right click where? [03:52] Phobix: what is it? [03:53] ActionParsnip: I cant get the client to see the server at all [03:53] If my jre lives in /usr/java, how do I get that in my path to run programs with it? [03:53] thanks - what format are the dates in for the logfile [03:53] i need to grep for a certain date [03:53] in fact, I cant really get the two computers to see each other at all [03:53] i want to be able to acsess my bell roughters software. like go to my web browser and type in the ip and stuff. anyone know how i can get that ip in ubuntu? [03:53] Phobix: can you ping the remote system? [03:53] I can [03:53] on blank screen, but ya that directory isnt there, but need to install the openvz folder, which wasnt sure before but i'll give it a try and test it out [03:53] by name and IP [03:53] Can anyone help me? [03:53] How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? [03:53] Phobix: and can you telnet to the synergy socket? [03:53] It's fixed [03:53] but only via terminal using .local [03:53] though Idon't know how o.o [03:54] Cody3290: swwt :) [03:54] Cody3290: did you change server? [03:54] ActionParsnip: thats a bit above my head tbh =/ [03:54] tell me hwo and I will try it [03:54] how* [03:54] Phobix: socket == IP + port number [03:54] I see [03:55] so from the client try to telnet into the server socket? [03:55] hey guys [03:55] wow [03:55] I typed it all in the wrong window [03:55] No, i didn't do anything [03:55] didn't press or change anything, it just started working again [03:55] I got GPeriodic installed [03:55] Melting point of neon isn't a very big deal, I'm never gonna use it in my classes, so.. [03:55] i've reformated ubuntu, seeing if itl work with my alfa [03:55] Cody3290: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:55] Phobix: so if you install a telnet client you can run: telnet hostname port does it connect? [03:55] BlackWeb: Try /var/lib/vz/template/cache [03:55] Pleh, sorry. [03:55] let me install it real quick, hold on [03:56] BlackWeb: I am not sure if this is relevant to you, http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu-8.10 [03:56] alright one sec, cause ya wasnt sure if i needed to install openvz but i"ll try it [03:56] Next question! How do I use "tarballs" [03:56] ActionParsnip: do you think itl reconise the alfa without installing the same driver from the website? [03:56] Phobix: seems to use port 24800 by default [03:56] and what is the difference between tar.gz and tar.bz2 [03:56] I have another question while I'm in here... do packages that you download, then install in the terminal, show up in the package manager, or any other list? [03:56] Cody: They're compressed using different compression software. [03:57] .tar.gz is compressed with gzip, .tar.bz2 is compressed with bzip2 [03:57] are there any common viruses floating around that I should be concerned about in .deb files? thanks [03:57] Cody3290: they both start life as .tar but are compressed differently, gzip for .gz and bzip for .bz2 [03:57] ActionParsnip: yea [03:57] its really strange though [03:57] Cody: Gnu tar can compress/decompress both .gz and .bz2 files [03:57] Phobix: so it connects with telnet? [03:57] I can ping them, but I dont see the machines, or anything in my places>network [03:57] Improv: so can unp ;) [03:57] I had installed a copy of vmware a couple months ago, and configured it, but by the time I got a system image to actually use with the thing, it says it's no longer correctly configured [03:57] tar xjf decompresses .tar.bz2, tar xzf decompresses .tar.gz files [03:57] no, it doesnt [03:57] timeout [03:57] Dont have that directory on system, so I'll try installing openvz and see if that helps [03:58] Great, so, how do I use them? [03:58] Lasivian: anyone can make a deb file and put it up on the internet, so use caution when getting them from random people. the ones in the ubuntu repository, however, are made by a small set of people who have spent a long while building trust within the community until they finally were voted upon by one of the developer membership boards and given upload access [03:58] Cody3290: Improv: you can decompress both without having to remember that junk with: unp filename [03:58] BlackWeb: Why install openvz.. what do you want to do... [03:58] I looked up the problem, and it looks like it might be some buggyboo with vmware that will make me reconfigure every time I use it, so I thought I'd try a fresh install [03:58] hi, i installed openvpn and been using the vpn once in a while with no problems, starting today i cant acess the internet WITHOUT using the VPN, it must have changed some of my config files but I dont know where to start , can anyone help? [03:58] Cody3290: unp is optional so you will need to install it, it will also handle zip, tar and other archives [03:58] Example: Current Predicament: I download AssaultCube. It gives me "AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4.tar.bz2" [03:59] but I want to make sure the old one is cleanly removed first [03:59] unp is probably Ubuntu-specific; it's probably better to use software common to all Unices so your knowledge is more portable. [03:59] Now what do I do with that file? [03:59] maco: yeah, this isn;t from the repository, that's why i'm cautious :) [03:59] and I'm not sure how to do that if it's not in synaptic Package manager [03:59] Improv: oh absolutely, but if a tool is available, why not use it [03:59] Lasivian: you can view the contents in Ark or File Roller [03:59] trying to install the downloaded templates but the directory the site told me to place it after download doesnt exist [03:59] Improv: i'm sure ubuntu-restrivted-extras isn't in any other distro.... [04:00] Cody: What ytou do with the tarball depends on what is in the tarball :) [04:00] BlackWeb: what are the templates for? [04:00] You can put anything you want in a tarball. [04:00] Cody: A tarball (ending with .tar) is a bunch of files stuck together. [04:00] How do I install it? [04:00] Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu stores the synaptics configuration file? There does not seem to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf or anything [04:00] Cody3290: what is the filename? [04:00] Cody: Are you trying to install a tarball or unp? [04:00] ActionParsnip: I am windows guy, is there an equivalent to workgroups in ubuntu? like domain? I am unsure of how to setup a network with ubuntu [04:01] I am trying to install AssaultCube [04:01] Do packages that you download, then install in the terminal, show up in the package manager, or any other list? [04:01] .tar.bz2 is the filename [04:01] I had installed a copy of vmware a couple months ago, and configured it, but by the time I got a system image to actually use with the thing, it says it's no longer correctly configured [04:01] I looked up the problem, and it looks like it might be some buggyboo with vmware that will make me reconfigure every time I use it, so I thought I'd try a fresh install [04:01] Cody: Any good answer to your question might be kind of involved. [04:01] I looked up the problem, and it looks like it might be some buggyboo with vmware that will make me reconfigure every time I use it, so I thought I'd try a fresh install [04:01] Phobix: if you edit /etc/samba/smb.conf you can change the workgroup of a system [04:01] but I want to make sure the old one is cleanly removed first [04:01] You're welkcome to query me if you'd like to help ^>^ [04:01] right, I checked those [04:01] they are the same [04:01] on both machines [04:01] on some distributions then when you click on a blank screen then highlight create document then other distributions have options like creat shell document and etc" and on my 8.10 then it says no templates installed which i tried just googling and downloaded some templates but starting to think that I downloaded something totally different [04:01] hey has anybody been able to log into the ubuntuforums website using elinks? [04:02] HafAWolf: they do if they are .deb packages. the will show in synaptic [04:02] Cody3290: you received a reply on #freedesktop-games :P [04:02] lol [04:02] Cody3290: cd ~; wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb [04:02] I was just saying hi [04:02] o.o [04:02] Cody3290: then visit: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.10/ and you can easily install LOTS of games :) [04:02] Yes but the one from that website is not the most updated ones [04:02] Cody3290: i recommend urbanterror [04:02] #help [04:02] help [04:03] NarradorBR: you'll get more help by actually asking a question [04:03] NarradorBR: what do you need? [04:03] join vampire [04:03] ? [04:03] ActionParsnip: will my alfa work, i have reformated ubuntu [04:04] lol [04:04] GaryD: Nope, tar.gz [04:04] which final fight do you like [04:04] So... [04:04] ActionParsnip: I already have the playdeb stuff [04:04] BlackWeb: so you are trying to right click your 8.10 desktop and create a shell document...only to be told that there are no templates installed? [04:05] I'm trying to install it from a file :( [04:05] Nobody even has a link to instructions? x.e [04:05] HalfAWolf: i'm not sure, but i don't think so. [04:05] Cody: I'll find a link for you. Hold on. [04:06] GaryD: Do you know if there is a reliable way to completely remove programs you've insstalled without synaptic? [04:07] ActionParsnip: do I have to port forward when its two local computers? [04:07] I dont right? [04:08] and how do I check that that port isnt being blocked by something [04:08] Cody: There are several ways people install software. One is with the package manager interface, and then there are ways to install things from files. [04:08] Here is a link to instructions for installing from tarballs: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/install-file.html [04:08] HalfAWolf: if you install packages from source, then you will have to run the uninstall script provided with the package. if there are any bits and pieces left over, then you will have to remove them manually. if i am wrong someone will speak up. [04:09] Phobix: You can use "lsof -i tcp" to find out what network ports are open. [04:09] thank you inquiryqueue [04:09] hi. can someone please explain to me what in the world this VLC developer is talking about when he says, "Kill the Ubuntu Volume Control"? thread here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=86524&p=291875 === Timic_ is now known as Timic [04:09] Phobix: Note that if you do that, they might be listed by number or by servicename. [04:09] bc81: I would guess "killall gnome-volume-control" ? [04:10] Improv: gnome-volume-control: no process found (do you have this process running by default?) [04:10] GaryD: As luck would have it, I kept my original installation download for vmware, but I don't see any uninstall stuff there [04:10] bc81: Ahh, not sure then [04:10] perfect, thank you Improv [04:10] Do i have to use the terminal? [04:10] how do I open a specfic port? [04:10] Can't ido the equivilant t hing in the gui? [04:10] Phobix: You don't open it; you run software that opens it. [04:11] ok, can you point me in the right direction? [04:11] Phobix: Unless you're talking "opening your firewall to let software use it" [04:11] Cody3290: ACTUALLY TERMINAL MAKES THINGS EASY, JUST DO A BIT AT A TIME [04:11] well, this is a fresh install [04:11] oops [04:11] o.o [04:11] no firewall should be going [04:11] Phobix: Describe more of what you're trying to do. [04:11] If you have a tarball, I know you can use a terminal. Someone else suggested something else (un something?) that should be a graphical interface. [04:11] I am trying to use synergy [04:11] but the client cant see the the server [04:11] ok thank you [04:11] but I can ping them [04:11] goodnight [04:11] its weird [04:11] Phobix: Are they on the same network? [04:11] yes [04:11] one is .100 the other is.101 [04:12] Phobix: I don't have a lot of experience using Synergy; you might get better advice from someone else debugging that. [04:12] the documentation says I need to make sure 28400 is open [04:12] how would I do that? [04:12] Phobix: Oh, it probably is, but if you like, do "lsof -i tcp | grep 28400" [04:12] hi [04:13] Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu stores the synaptics configuration file? There does not seem to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf or anything... [04:13] HalfAWolf: what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:13] GaryD: 10.10 [04:13] Improv: what did that do? [04:13] mu: xorg.conf is no longer needed [04:13] Phobix: It looks to see if anything has that port open [04:13] If there's a process, then it's using it [04:13] mu: do you mean the synaptics touch pad, or synaptic package manager [04:13] Otherwise, it's free for Synaptic. [04:13] te: no true, it is in some cases [04:13] ok, so nothing returned [04:13] Groovy. [04:14] does that mean no? [04:14] That means it is free for use by the instructions you referenced. [04:14] mu: xorg.conf is used if it is there but is not necessary. [04:14] By the processes used by the instructions you referenced I mean [04:14] I'm getting ready to download the newest version of ubuntu because I can't find my iso anymore, any reason the 32-bit version is listed as "recommended"? [04:14] mu: What are you trying to fix? [04:14] Can't remember if I saw that there before or not, haha [04:14] Fiveways: because it works on both 32-bit and 64-bit computers [04:15] GaryD: Synaptics touch pad [04:15] Fiveways: A lot of reasons... it's complicated. [04:15] te: I'm trying to replicate the synaptics configuration that Ubuntu uses by default for my X.org configuration in Arch [04:15] So if I just planning on using it on my 64-bit boxes then theres no reason I shouldnt get x64? Or is it one of those situations where the 32-bit version is probably more hassle-free in the long run? === russell_ is now known as Guest29740 [04:15] hey guys, great news its got the proper driver working, but i've got the -1 channel problem???? [04:16] Fiveways: Yes, hassle-free is a good way to put it. [04:16] anyone help me with my problem? [04:16] Fiveways: 32-bit is recommended because you can use 32-bit on 64-bit systems but not the other way around. x64 is no more of a hassle. [04:17] HalfAWolf: look for uninstall script "vmware-uninstall.pl" somewhere on your disk. probably at /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl [04:17] Elitestatus, so you finally remove the driver ? :-) [04:17] anyone know my problem? [04:17] yeah [04:17] im getting the -1 channel problem now [04:17] Elitestatus, and how did you do that ? [04:17] Thanks guys [04:17] i had to reformat [04:18] I'm guessing this isnt the channel I talk about Fedora 12 in either huh? ;) [04:18] jk [04:18] :-0 [04:18] What is the -1 channel problem? [04:18] Fiveways: Not really. [04:18] mu: what are you trying to accomplish? [04:18] where it sticks to channel:-1 [04:18] Fiveways, 12? eghads, I remember 1... === bryan is now known as Guest42224 [04:18] So, uh, any word on where Synaptics touchpad config file is stored? [04:18] is there any place i can found the whole list of ubuntu contributors..region wise..? [04:18] !synaptics | mu [04:18] mu: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:18] Elitestatus: Talking about wifi? [04:18] GaryD: I'm trying to replicate the synaptics configuration that Ubuntu uses by default for my X.org configuration in Arch [04:18] yeah te [04:18] Fiveways: fedora is offtopic here [04:18] I've checked the wiki, thanks. [04:19] craigbass1976: 1? I think 4 was the farthest back I remember. I've been using ubuntu for a while but havent tried 10.10 yet so I'm excited to [04:19] ActionParsnip: I was joking, I apologize :) [04:19] mu: but the wiki answers your question [04:19] Fiveways: its cool [04:19] Fiveways: Ubuntu is on-topic ;-) [04:19] I'll check again since you imply my answer is found there [04:19] I work for the ISP here in town and people always call me when their routers don't work [04:19] heh [04:19] Fiveways: install openssh-server and setup a portforward ;) [04:20] jrib: It mentions a configuration file path? [04:20] ActionParsnip: do you know how to fix the -1 channel problem? [04:20] jrib: Because I am not seeing anything but how to use some GUI to configure Synaptics, which is definitely not desired... [04:20] I ask them...the box that's not working, what does it say on it? Netgear? Oh ok...how do you expect me to help you? [04:20] haha [04:21] Elitestatus: no idea, sorry [04:21] Anyone using ubuntu through the windows installer? [04:21] Fiveways: have they turned it off and on? ;) [04:21] Fiveways: god no! [04:21] !anyone | Fiveways [04:21] Fiveways: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [04:22] Logan, there's no other questions :) I was just curious [04:22] I love how this channel can manage condescension and dismission simultaneously [04:22] mu: wow. be patient. [04:22] !attitude | mu [04:22] mu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [04:22] So I'm probably blind or stupid, but I'm not seeing anything on the wiki about this... [04:22] mu: look in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d [04:22] mu: because I'm trying to reply to you. [04:22] Logan has the bot commands on lock :) [04:23] hey everyone [04:23] jrib: Sorry, I assumed you had ignored me. [04:23] GaryD: Checking that now [04:23] I've got something weird happening with my system.... [04:23] ActionParsnip: I ask people that and they're like "I'VE TRIED IT ALREADY!" and I'm like "No you haven't, your modem has been online for 142 days" [04:23] mu: *sigh* it definitely used to. Sorry about that. Anyway, on current ubuntu one can either use xinput or /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d [04:23] When I try to watch a .mov file that I recorded on my digital camera today it starts to play, but only goes a second in and stops [04:23] Fiveways: haha, believe me, I've used ubottu commands one too many times :) [04:23] Hi all, I got vsftpd.conf question. I can't figure how to get around this at ftp login... 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/ftpuser [04:23] mylisto: which video player are you using? [04:24] hello everyone: how it is possible that gparted sees my partitions, while the ubuntu installation program doesn't, and the windows seven one too? [04:24] jrib, GaryD: /usr/lib/X11 does not contain an xorg.conf file; This is 10.10 Netbook by the way.

But im able to scan for wireless networks and see them. Oh and none of the guides on the forums have helped me to get the card working. [04:24] mu: pay close attention to what we wrote :) [04:24] mylisto: I would try VLC, unless someone recommends otherwise [04:25] mu: you are looking for the synaptics configuration file there. [04:25] logan_: I just got a "failed to connect stream: Too large" [04:25] Okay... [04:25] mylisto: yeah, try VLC [04:25] mu: in the xorg.conf.d directory there should be some file with synaptics in its name [04:26] there are four directories in /usr/lib/X11/ and none are xorg.conf.d [04:26] mu: what version of ubuntu? [04:26] mylisto: install w32codecs from medibuntu as well as ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:26] 10.10 Netbook [04:26] d packrat [04:26] mylisto: also pulling down gnome-mplayer will install some decent codecs (plus it rocks) === syn-ack is now known as Guest88364 [04:27] mu: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ my fault [04:27] Is there a place where I can find out about issues that might come up while migrating? I've never tried upgrading ubuntu between releases but I really don't feel like reinstalling as this is a remote server, I'm trying to go from 9.10 to 10.04 [04:27] Has anybody used Ubuntu with LTSP? I'm curious about changing the login screen of the thin client systems so it can be better adapted for classroom use. [04:28] mu: my bad too. jrib is right. [04:28] Alright, I see the configuration file. That is the entirety of Ubuntu's configuration for synaptics? [04:28] m3lvin: it varies unfortunately, some people report no issues, some have nightmares [04:29] mu: dpkg -L xserver-xorg-input-synaptics will list what files the package provides [04:29] hello everyone: how it is possible that gparted sees my partitions, while the ubuntu installation program doesn't, and the windows seven one too? [04:30] mechanist: What exactly is the descrepency? [04:30] jrib: Alright, but I'm not logged in to Ubuntu at the moment so that'll have to wait. Thanks for the help. [04:30] mechanist: What does sudo fdisk -l show you? [04:30] GaryD: I think /usr/lib/ was correct pre-10.10 [04:30] right [04:30] mechanist: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #And send us a link.

An extended partition is just a container for other partitions, your next partition is /dev/sda5 [05:02] mechanist: sda5 sda6 sda7 are logical partitions sda1 and sda2 are primary ones. sda2 is the extended partition which contains sda5 sda6 an sda7 [05:02] I added PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/bin/ to my .profile, saved it, but shell still can't find the matlab file. help?

[05:04] saintbasil: .profile is only sourced for login shells, so you need to log out then back in (or just . ~/.profile) [05:04] jiltdil, cd ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default [05:04] aaron11: i have tried alt+F2 and then typed here xterm it opens terminal [05:04] mechanist: NO, I'm asking what it is that you want to do? [05:04] and check if there is something in the xml that specifes custom command [05:04] jiltdil, gnome-terminal? [05:05] jiltdil, You see [05:05] mechanist: What do you have now and what do you want to have when your done? [05:05] aaron11: same output splashes and vanished [05:05] te: I just wans that in that dialog at least one partitions comes out, so I can install ubuntu [05:05] jiltdil, You left the "exit terminal after command exits" option on.

[05:08] jiltdil, Why dont you reinstall gnome-terminal [05:09] te: in there are stored vital files, gigas of my works in games and personal stuff [05:09] jiltdil: try using gconf-editor to change the values back for the terminal. [05:09] Has anybody used Ubuntu with LTSP? I'm curious about changing the login screen of the thin client systems so it can be better adapted for classroom use. [05:09] mechanist: So you want to save and keep sda5 sda6 and sda7 ? [05:09] jiltdil: why dont you blow the f* computer with bazooka [05:09] jiltdil, GardyD is correct [05:09] te: I just wanna know why the installator doesn't see any partitions, and this both in ubuntu and in seven [05:10] jiltdil, Yes use gconf-editor, i see the custom command option there [05:10] te: the irony is that gparted sees partitions without any issue [05:10] jiltdil: all you need to do is hit alt+f2, type: gnome-terminal -x /bin/bash and then fix your profile options [05:10] jiltdil, apps ---> gnome-terminal ---> Profiles ---> default [05:11] mechanist: Windows 7 does not see Linux partitions, (does not have capability to read them so ignores them). [05:11] te: windows 7 doesn't see those ntfs partitions, neither [05:12] how can i switch from pulseaudo to alsa? i think this will make my HDMI audio work.

Well you can install Linux on the sda1 partition (using the sda3 partition as swap). [05:16] Does anyone know of a JWPlayer channel, or a place I can get help with it?

[05:28] the 70-persistent-net.rules has two entries for the wireless card (same Mac), one listed as using the bc43-pci-bridge and the other using wl as the driver. [05:29] I tried removing one of those but something put it back in [05:29] aaron11, Hmm. I just tried that, and all it did was download it, not play it. Thanks for the help anyway though. :) [05:29] LorgonJortle, k. [05:29] LorgonJortle: i get this error from the video.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10. [05:31] ActionParsnip, I'll look it up. Thanks. [05:31] LorgonJortle: or just share the folder with samba then let them access it and stream that way.... [05:31] Can anyone direct me to an ubuntu distro that can replace windows home server? [05:31] udevadm info -a -p /sys/class/net/eth0 [05:31] LorgonJortle: Is this a video that YOU are trying to share? [05:31] Unguided: ubuntu-server [05:31] te, It's my video that I've uploaded onto my website, yes. [05:31] Unguided: depends what the server is foing.... [05:32] *doing [05:32] sougata: That gives the mac address of the wireless device on eth0 [05:32] LorgonJortle, You want to play that video? [05:32] Improv, http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html ( ctrl + F ) lan . I leave you the hacking [05:32] ActionParsnip: Im a newb to ubuntu and think Im going to have problems administering from the command line. Any way around that to get started quickly? [05:32] sougata: I'll take a look. Thanks [05:32] aaron11, I'd like it to play in other browsers, yes. It works fine for me in Chromium, but fails for all others, it seems. [05:32] mechanist: Click on the /dev/dsa1 [05:33] Everyone: LorgonJortle wants for you to be able to watch his video on his site. [05:33] Unguided: Administer what? [05:33] Improv, yw. [05:33] Unguided, What do you want to accomplish? [05:33] LorgonJortle: How long of a video is it? (Time wize)? [05:33] te 18 min [05:33] LorgonJortle, I think its related to browser plugins. [05:33] LorgonJortle: Why don't you just share it via youtube? [05:34] LorgonJortle: You can embed it from youtube on your website [05:34] te, Time constraints + quality. [05:34] I currently run windows home server and want to get rid of it. It backs up my computers every night, file server, print server, and remote access [05:34] Unguided: just install the desktop OS then and install your server apps on it, this is also fine [05:34] Unguided: ubuntu can do all that easily [05:34] LorgonJortle: it seems ogv is not supported. lucky it plays in chromium...probably because of ffmpeg...check here. http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12539/supported-video-and-audio-formats [05:35] ActionParsnip: ok. thanks [05:35] LorgonJortle: Like this: http://trryhend.startlogic.com/ (Just an example) [05:35] LorgonJortle, Ummm... there was a website that allows long videos. I just dont remember it. === sabayonweb_87561 is now known as bouchard [05:36] te: do you read me? [05:36] aaron11, The problem with putting it onto a hosting site is that it'll like have to be converted to FLV... and I don't want to lose much quality, since it has a lot of text people have to read and it blurs easily with a format conversion. [05:37] find it funny that im banned still from the site, what a jerk [05:37] LorgonJortle, Did you make that video? [05:37] aaron11, It's my video, yes. [05:37] LorgonJortle, It works ok on opera [05:37] lemmy try firefox [05:37] LorganJortle: why not use flowplayer? it should suport ogv. http://flowplayer.org/index.html [05:38] te: http://digilander.libero.it/maxath/Screenshot.png [05:38] GaryD, I'll check it out. Thanks. [05:39] LorganJortle: no prob...hope it helps. [05:39] anyone know if nvidia cards recognized in 11.4? [05:39] while compiling it say cannot find freetype-config ? === dcat_ is now known as dcat [05:39] aaron11, Any luck with fF? [05:40] LorgonJortle, It doesnt support ogv. [05:40] Has anybody used Ubuntu with LTSP? I'm curious about changing the login screen of the thin client systems so it can be better adapted for classroom use. [05:40] aaron11, Firefox, or JWPlayer? [05:40] firefox [05:41] LorgonJortle: Here is the way david miller does it, (maybe you can get a clue from his usage). See: http://dave.frop.net/introduction_drupal_screencast [05:41] Ah, so even if I use Flowplayer, if FF doesn't support it... [05:41] p [05:41] LorgonJortle: Firefox and Google Chrome should support OGV out of the box. [05:41] mechanist: yea, Did you try clicking on /dev/sda1 ? [05:41] Jordan_U, That's what I though. [05:41] thought, even. [05:42] is there another channel for aircrack-ng?? === Guest99264 is now known as DarkDevil [05:42] LorgonJortle: Firefox supports ogv === DarkDevil is now known as Guest98830 [05:43] mechanist: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? I think there is a problem with your partition table. [05:43] whats mean by this while compiling http://pastebin.com/WZD3ppxA?? [05:44] LorganJortle: check this page out at jwplayer suport too. http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forums/jw-player/setup-issues-and-embedding/14857/basic-question-mp4-and-ogv [05:44] Jordan_U: http://digilander.libero.it/maxath/diocane.txt [05:44] te: where you see sda1 in the picture??? [05:44] I see only sda [05:45] Jordan_U: right === dominic349028 is now known as dominic-wong [05:45] jordan there it is http://digilander.libero.it/maxath/diocane.txt [05:45] LorganJortle: the problem is not the browsers. it is the way you are using the player. [05:45] ops [05:45] you meand parted -le [05:46] * -l , not fdisk -l... [05:46] wait [05:46] mechanist: /dev/sda (not /dev/sda1) [05:47] mechanist: I'd specifically like the output of parted -l as it uses the same libraries as used by the Ubuntu installer. But looking again it's not actually following the symptoms of a problem with the partition table. For the entire disk not being listed the problem is often with left over raid metadata. [05:47] mechanist: Click on /dev/sda [05:48] any can answer plz? [05:48] cutiyar: invalid pastebin id [05:49] is there a log file that I can check to see what [05:49] Is there a log file that I can check to see what connections are coming into my computer? [05:50] GaryD, http://pastebin.com/WAGLvbxw [05:50] nbros652: What connections? [05:51] te: I have a log server set up, and a router that doesn't specify what port it uses for logging and doesn't allow me to specify a port. [05:51] nbros652: netstat -pantu [05:51] cutiyar: seems like you don't have lcms installed. [05:51] Jordan_U I've done it [05:51] nbros652: And so what do you want to find out? [05:52] check this file again [05:52] anyone know how I can get Vuze 4.6 in the Software Center? [05:52] Jordan_U: http://digilander.libero.it/maxath/diocane.txt [05:52] GaryD ,its third time ask me to install package [05:52] te: it only shows current connections [05:53] te: the router doesn't stay connected and therefore doesn't show up [05:53] mechanist: I see no problems there. Was this drive ever part of an array? [05:53] l [05:54] nbros652: And so what exactly do you want to find out? [05:54] cutiyar: you need the development packages. look here. https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS [05:55] What is with apt-get upgrade failing because it wants /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket http://pastebin.com/Ftdma27U from chroot [05:55] te: what port the router communicates on [05:55] GaryD, i installed it from synaptic? [05:55] te: I've clicked on it, and nothing happened. LOL [05:55] cutiyar: nevermind that...sorry [05:55] wrong link [05:56] Im a strong auditory/visual learner. Does anyone know of any podcasts for ubuntu? [05:56] Is there a PDF reader for ubuntu that lets you place bookmarks? [05:56] te: but the communication isn't established and maintained from what I can tell. It must come through only when there is an update, and then it disconnects. [05:56] Jordan_U: what you mean for "array", in this specific case? I've only one hard disk, subdivided in four partitions [05:56] no, five. [05:57] nbros652: Still not sure what your getting at....??? nmap 192.168.1.1 ? [05:57] cutiyar: you so need the development version of lcms...it is in the package manager. i am on ubuntu 10.10 and the package name is liblcms1-dev [05:57] mechanist, how the heck is the one without it the default!?! [05:57] nbros652: tcpdump [05:57] Unguided: http://ubuntupodcast.net/ [05:57] joshua__: what??? [05:58] mechanist, oh you weren't talking to me [05:58] GaryD, iam installing it now drom synaptic [05:58] rotfl [05:58] GaryD, iam on 10.10 too [05:58] ActionParsnip: Thanks again for the help. [05:59] cutiyar: cool. that should fix it [05:59] Jordan_U: what you mean for "array", in this specific case? I've only one hard disk, subdivided in five partitions [05:59] anyone know why rhythmbox with pulseaudio (default config in ubuntu 10.04) stutters hard 2,3 times per min? [06:00] At the risk of sounding extremely retarded, how can I (If I can) configure Nautilius to give me an address bar instead of Breadcrumbs? A typable address bar? [06:00] LorgonJortle: any success? [06:00] mechanist: The only reason that I know of for Ubuntu's installer to ignore a drive is when that drive appears to be part of an array whose type the installer does not understand. [06:01] te: here's what I've done. I've gone into the router configuration page. It has a place to enter the ip address of a serve on which to store logs. I set up rsyslog to receive the log data, but I don't know what port to set in the rsyslog.conf file. [06:02] GaryD, I'm installing FlowPlayer now. I had to make some tea. [06:02] nbros652: Oh, I see... ok, well not sure... It doesn't even suggest what type of service to use to accept the log files? [06:04] te: Unfortunately, it doesn't. It's a Chinese router and all it has is a blank for an ip address. Doesn't hint at whether it uses udp or tcp and says nothing about the port. [06:04] Jordan_U: if you mean array of partitions, well I just have three ntfs, one ext4, one swap, and the Windows 7's installation manager too doesn't see the hard disk [06:04] LorganJortle: cool. let everyone know how it goes...i gotta go. [06:04] Jordan_U: but GpartEd does, that's what I can't explain. [06:05] nbros652: what is the make and model of the router? [06:05] g'night or g'mornin ... whichever it is to you! [06:05] te: and I can't specify my own port because there input box has a character limit... Volans VE1560 [06:05] mechanist: No, you don't currently have an array, but this disk may have previously been part of one, or there may be some other reason that something that looks like raid metadata might be on the drive. [06:05] nbros652: It doesn't suggest ftp or anything? [06:06] mechanist: Try booting with the "nodmraid" kernel parameter. To do that press any key within the first 5 seconds of boot and press F6 to get a menu of options, check the nodmraid option. [06:06] hell, this sounds serious then [06:06] mechanist: No, not serious at all (if this is what's happening). [06:06] te: Nothing. I have a check box for starting the system log service, one for enabling sending logs to a server, and an input box for an ip address, and that's it. [06:06] Jordan_U: I just have the live cd [06:07] mechanist: I am referring to the LiveCD boot. [06:07] ok [06:07] once I have booted with the nomraid, what I have to do? [06:08] mechanist: If that is what was causing the problem then the installer should now show the disk. [06:08] neat! [06:08] I run to try ir [06:08] it [06:08] nbros652: Maybe it will do an anonymous ftp? [06:08] whats wrong with it ?http://pastebin.com/CKSPLe4g [06:08] how can i get mono ? on 10.10 [06:09] te: I think I got something back from the tcpdump... IP 192.168.200.2.3074 > 192.168.20.27.20000: UDP, length 616 [06:09] You could specify port 21 and set up ftp server that will accept anonymous ftp (That's about all I can think of but just guessing) [06:10] nbros652: 192.168.200.2 is the router? [06:11] yeah [06:11] te: yeah === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway [06:11] nbros652: So who is 192.168.20.27 ? [06:11] plz http://pastebin.com/CKSPLe4g? [06:12] te: my log server [06:12] nbros652: I really don't know.... [06:12] my wired ethernet port stopped working, not sure how to go about fixing it [06:12] Is there a way to say 'apt-get remove *2.6.32-29*' ? [06:14] Anyone know good alternative to pulseaudio? [06:15] te: thanks anyway [06:15] how can i get back the title bar from system,is not showing [06:15] hi! I write a program that runs on Ubuntu. The whole system will be burned into a CD so that when the PC boots the CD, the program runs. I'm gonna sell this CD. Is it legal? Do I have any license issue with Ubuntu? thanks [06:16] not a single windows have a titlebar [06:16] In addition to pulse audio there is also alsa and ESD on Ubuntu. [06:17] i donnt have the minimize,maximize,close buttons [06:17] ndxtg, read up on the GPL. [06:17] by downloading the textreader.deb package available at dotdeb.com you can change to one of the other audio types in the options menu. [06:19] Jordan_U: no way, same issue than before: in the partition dialog of the installation manager nothing comes out [06:19] how can i restar pannel [06:19] anyway: for me, by now, it's time to go on the bed [06:19] im missing my close,minimize,maximize [06:19] lol [06:19] mechanist: Very odd. Could you submit a bug report? [06:19] nope because im not registered [06:20] is there any good IRC client for ubuntu? [06:20] but i smell something fishy about the hard drive [06:20] since it gave me the same error with the seven package [06:20] is there any IRc client that is almost exactly as mIRC? [06:20] and this after getting a virus on xp [06:20] Chilaquiles, try Xchat. [06:20] Chilaquiles: xchat perhaps. [06:20] xchat_ [06:20] Chilaquiles, not xchat-gnome, which is an abomination. ;) [06:20] I've tried it already [06:20] Chilaquiles: surely it's kvirc [06:20] oh which one then? [06:21] xchat is text-only [06:21] Madpilot: which one then? [06:21] kvirc has all the grapghic interface [06:21] mechanist, no it's not [06:21] so does xchat [06:21] xhcat has UI [06:21] I'm on xchat right now :P [06:21] KDE [06:21] Chilaquiles, there's both xchat and xchat-gnome; xchat is awesome. xchat-gnome is neutered. [06:21] i ment to say GTK [06:21] hm!! [06:21] ok [06:21] too many years behind then :) [06:21] probably I've tried gnome [06:21] time do adjourn [06:23] anyone here uses Vuze? [06:23] I like kvirc but I don't like the way it has the windows on the left side [06:23] what is Vuze [06:24] AnubArack it's alot better kvirc [06:24] Vuze is a torrent client [06:24] anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot my ethernet card? [06:24] Chilaquiles: maybe you can configure them, just as in mirc [06:24] I wanted to know if there is any mIRC client that has the windows the way windows does, on the bottom [06:24] holmser: what is wrong with it? [06:24] It stopped working [06:24] otherwise, you can also run mirc under wine [06:24] mechanist: that really sucks [06:24] so that it works under linux too [06:24] why? [06:25] Transmission is failing on my setup so I have to use Vuze (deluge fails even worst) [06:25] I tried and it worked [06:25] :D [06:25] because wine sux [06:25] Chilaquiles, xchat is fairly configurable; you can move the various subwindows around [06:25] is very unstable [06:25] lol [06:25] you always see errors that you don't have any idea where they came from [06:25] Its strange, when I check it with ifconfig, it only shows an ipv6 address, no ipv4 [06:25] and sometimes you click buttons and they don't work, etc. [06:25] the only two programs i managed to make working under wine was mirc and notepad >=D [06:26] holmser: ifconfig [06:26] now I'm getting pissed of with openoffice [06:26] really [06:26] so wine remained the same, from the past years when I left it [06:26] lol [06:26] holmser: what do you get from the output of ifconfig ? [06:26] mechanist: spotify works well, as does postal2 and doom3 [06:26] holmser: Does it say anything about it> eth0 ? [06:26] is that true that linux need antivirus now mechanist_ [06:27] ? [06:27] another windows applications porter? [06:27] http://pastebin.com/1NSzbRZM [06:27] Chilaquiles: libreoffice is an alternative (although not hugely different), or you can use web apps like zoho office [06:27] Chilaquiles, antivirus for linux? waste of time. [06:27] thats my ifconfig output [06:27] I agee with Madpilot [06:27] it's very useles [06:27] not if you run a samba file server with windows clients [06:28] Madpilot: it says on the internet that noe there are 1000 threats for linux [06:28] about 1000 [06:28] Chilaquiles, in labs, or in the wild? [06:28] lol [06:28] in the wild [06:28] everything comes with source code, lol! [06:28] thats what Kaspersky says [06:28] rly? cite plz [06:28] mechanist, unless you have the habbit of making sudo timeout in 999999999999999999 minutes + install/run all sort of unverified scripts [06:28] I would love to see those comments in the code [06:28] ActionParsnip> mechanist: spotify works well, as does postal2 and doom3 [06:29] mechanist: indeed :) [06:29] this spotify seems interesting [06:29] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware Madpilot [06:29] it supports all the winzozz applications too? [06:29] holmser: How about: sudo ethtool eth0 [06:29] mechanist: i dont gots a paid account yet and you need paid to use linux client [06:29] what the hell [06:29] mechanist: how do you mean 'aplications'? [06:30] Hi actionparsnip [06:30] I mean such as winamp, word,photoshop,flash designing [06:30] how are you [06:30] Madpilot: there is a list of virus, worms and trojans if you are interested [06:30] for linux [06:30] I am please Chilaquiles [06:30] so, it seems like linux is not as stable as it was [06:30] te: http://pastebin.com/LTHPrC02 [06:31] mechanist: depends on version and wine version. Winamp you can use xmms2 [06:31] can someone explain to me direct install to usb vs persistent usb install? [06:31] !appdb | mechanist [06:31] mechanist: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:31] everything seems to be in order te, I'm confused [06:31] Chilaquiles, "not as stable as it was" is relative. Still vastly safer and easier to admin & secure than Windows [06:31] holmser: So this machine is, in fact, connected to the internet? Yes? [06:31] CoNFuS3D: I just cited the page [06:31] oh! [06:31] yes, but through wifi right now [06:31] lol, I cant read... thanks [06:31] why you speak me of winamp now, while just a momenta go you spoke about that fantastic spotify? [06:31] Madpilot: what about Mac? [06:32] #arab [06:32] holmser: Is the ehternet port connected to anything? [06:32] halpbatman: you can use a tool to put the install ISO on USB. Changes will not stick. Or you can create a persistant install on USB and yuo updates and changes will retain between reboots [06:32] Chilaquiles, no clue. Never owned a Mac, hardly ever used them. [06:32] actionparsnip: Hi. Would you know how to download the display drivers for my Acer netbook. I think you once helped me with that but unfortunately, I fried my old netbook! [06:32] ActionParsnip: so direct full install to usb is the same as persistent install? [06:32] te: yeah, it's plugged into my router right now, but for some reason I can't get it to show up [06:33] Madpilot: yes it can be relative but from lets say 90% secure that was before now is 50% secure [06:33] ActionParsnip: http://mintarticles.com/read/operating-systems-articles/how-to-install-portable-linux-ubuntu-on-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-from-sun-virtualbox,13641/ [06:33] holmser: Is this a laptop? [06:33] so, still is becoming insecure [06:33] Is it common for Ubuntu/Wubi to trigger Startup Repair when booting back into Windows? [06:33] I've checked my /etc/network/interfaces about 5 times [06:33] te: no, desktop machine [06:33] StepNjump: what model? [06:33] Chilaquiles, it also says "most have become obsolete" :P [06:33] StepNjump: have you asked the channel? [06:34] has anyone seen or been affected by install failing (black screen) with nvidia card latley? [06:34] No actionparsnip. I haven't asked yet [06:34] I will [06:34] halpbatman: ive never heard of direct full install [06:34] holmser: And you want it to conect via hard wired connecton? [06:34] Schala, no. you just didn't let it boot one time and it self-diagnosed that it has a problem (just select boot normaly) [06:34] StepNjump: mention the netbook model [06:34] te: exactly [06:34] it seems either Ubuntu is touching my Windows system, or Windows is suicidal about coexisting with Ubuntu [06:34] Chilaquiles, the rise in popular, easy-to-use Linux versions like Ubuntu was always going to lead to an increase in attacks. I'd say "50% secure" is gross scaremongering, though. [06:34] ok [06:34] oh I see [06:34] I'm on wubi too and never got it [06:34] holmser: sudo apt-get install wicd [06:34] Madpilot: i've been saying that, mac used to be the same === MTeck-InPain is now known as MTecknology [06:35] CoNFuS3D: and others are appearing [06:35] hey idk if this is the wrong place to ask this but anyone seen a ubuntu theme that resembles the android honeycomb or gingerbread [06:35] lol daniel [06:35] ActionParsnip: so I'm trying to figure out the difference between what this guy is doing "http://mintarticles.com/read/operating-systems-articles/how-to-install-portable-linux-ubuntu-on-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-from-sun-virtualbox,13641/" and a persistent install [06:35] daniel, google ? [06:36] ActionParsnip: what he's doing is he installed full ubuntu from CD directly to usb drive [06:36] daniel: like this: http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Android-Honeycomb.jpg [06:36] Okay well thanks. I think I'll wait for my new drive before getting Ubuntu again though. [06:36] daniel: apt-get install ginger-bread theme [06:36] holmser: (Wicd - Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager === mRy is now known as Guest85162 [06:36] hopefully will be soon because I love what Ubuntu offers but Windows is still a necessity [06:36] Madpilot: I still wonder why people compare more Linux vs Windows but I don't hear Linux vs Mac very often [06:37] halpbatman: not sure, could ask in #vbox [06:37] Gorilla_No_Baka, beggars cnt be choosers but is there a honeycomb one i like the blue better [06:37] ActionParsnip: k thx [06:37] Chilaquiles, because Mac is also a minority system; Windows is the grossly insecure one of the trio, and also the largest target. [06:37] hello [06:38] ActionParsnip, yeh but a theme for ubuntu [06:38] daniel: http://www.99cblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/city.jpg is the wallpaper [06:38] Madpilot: you're right is a minority system but I have seen that the half of maybe more in my university use macs [06:38] Chilaquiles, plus osx and linux have a common root and many similarities [06:39] Madpilot: so, I wonder how long it would take for mac to overtake Windows monopoly [06:39] macs have i3 intel now [06:39] holmser: Once wicd is installed, you will need to log out and back in again in order for the interface to become visible on the screen. After logging back in again, you'll see a little icon in the bar that has what looks like one monitor in front of another. Click on it to change from one connection to the other - to choose what device to use for a network connection. [06:39] Chilaquiles, at the prices of macs .... never [06:39] AnubArack: do they come from the same source? [06:39] Chilaquiles: they only have to lower their prices and they will overtaken them in about one month [06:40] Chilaquiles, ask Mr. Jobs. This is kind of getting off-topic for #ubuntu, though. Non-tech support should really be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:40] I'm running a CLI install of Ubuntu, and I'm trying to replace tty1 with an interactive script using dialog. The problem is, sometimes boot messages continue to display after tty1 is initialized, causing my menu to not display. Any ideas? [06:40] te: wicd also has a cli interface with wicd-curses so is great for servers :) [06:40] AnubArack: but I think Mac people know that their prices are not competitive right now, but I'm sure they will lower the prices as they see an increment in their sales [06:40] ActionParsnip: Very good. Thanks for info. [06:40] any posibility of using 32bit repo in a 64 bit system.? [06:41] ActionParsnip: I mostly just use it on my laptop. [06:41] Gorilla_No_Baka: I agree with you 100% [06:42] Wauraudon: one common way to run UI on systems like that is to direct the UI to one of the alternate screens [06:42] vsk_ram21, They're one in the same [06:42] cfedde: Using another tty? [06:43] vsk_ram21, May I ask why you think you need a 32 bit application on your system? === Guest98830 is now known as DarkDevil [06:43] te: seems to be working now === DarkDevil is now known as Guest48611 [06:43] syn-ack:i need to use back-track repo which currently supports only 32 bit... [06:44] holmser: Very good. [06:44] strange that wicd would see it but not network manager [06:44] anyone here know php [06:44] may I suggest #php eoss [06:44] vsk_ram21, Backtrack as in the Distribution or Backports? [06:44] holmser: Oh well... [06:44] anyone know how I would go about changing the default network manager to wicd? [06:45] holmser: install wicd and purge network manager. why are you doign in [06:45] it [06:45] holmser: I think you just did. [06:45] what is really pissing me off is that I wasn't able to do it from the command line [06:45] mrdebuntu: holmser Yea just uninstall network-manager, right? [06:46] you typically consider wicd in an openbox environment. network manager suits gnome fine. [06:46] holmser: just install wicd and reboot, then remove network manager [06:46] Is there any way to verify the integrity of an official mirror? I suspect that my local(-ish) mirror is serving corrupted packages. [06:46] I've installed BT4 using the tutorial found at: http://tolearnfree.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-install-backtrack4-using-grub-of.html . I seem to be still having a problem with BT4 being read only, I'm not sure what to do about that, and for some reason Ubuntu is giving me an error saying that it can't mount ubuntu, but skipping the mounting process allows it to boot normally as though it's trying to mount some secondary filesystem that [06:46] is just a copy, not too sure. [06:46] sqwertle: backtrack isn't supported here [06:46] holmser: apt-get --purge remove network-manager [06:46] I tried ifconfig eth0 down, then edited my /etc/network/interfaces then putting it back up [06:47] what does the --purge flag do? [06:47] ActionParsnip: What about my Ubuntu question? Aside from that it's not particularly BT4 it should be fstab related. [06:47] te: the port from tcpdump was the one I wanted. Thanks [06:47] CoNFuS3D, i tried there they all seem to be asleep =[ [06:47] obviously it purges something, but what? [06:47] sqwertle: check: dmesg | less and see what is going on [06:47] syn-ack: i need to add some packages from backtrack repo [06:47] well... #ubuntu isn't really the place for php :P [06:47] holmser: but I don't think it would matter if you didn't uninstall it. Not sure really if it would make a difference. Probably best to uninstall it though. [06:48] sqwertle: for ANY backtrack issues ask in the backtrack channel === Charlie_Sheen is now known as Brain_S [06:48] nbros652: very well. [06:48] vsk_ram21, I'm trying to figure out what you mean by backtrack repo... Are you talking about the distribution or what? [06:48] FrozenFire, switch to the main archives, for starters. Check Launchpad for reporting repo issues [06:48] might I suggest using backtrack on a USB drive for ease of disposal. [06:48] well that's my hopes and dreams of a friday shipment of my mbp dashed. EOB and it hasn't appeared from customs blackout yet :( [06:48] after i insert a thumb drive how do i remfort it the only options i see are eject and safley remove drive [06:48] ActionParsnip, Am I safe to assume that that vsk_ram21 guy means the Distro? [06:49] Madpilot: Every new install I do would have problems. I'd like to know whether the issue is the mirror, or something I'm doing. [06:49] holmser: I plan on using it slightly long term, the installation seems to be more useful atm. [06:49] Wauraudon: you'll probably notice that when you hit you get a new console? [06:49] danie114: You want to re-format it? [06:49] I just did an install where the package lists were so severely corrupted on a clean install that I had to wipe them and re-update. [06:49] te, yeh sorry [06:49] danie114: What is wrong with the filesystem that is on it now? === Brain_S is now known as FarkingBish [06:50] syn-ack: i just need to use some packages in BT repo like adding repo like opera , google etc.. [06:50] syn-ack: not sure [06:50] danie114, go to system, administration, gparted [06:50] how about the UCloner for backup ubuntu? [06:50] FrozenFire, have you looked on Launchpad or the main ubuntu site for info on who runs your local mirror? [06:50] vsk_ram21, I'm now fairly certain you have no idea which repo you're talking about [06:50] or "gksudo gparted" from CLI [06:50] cfedde: I notice that, that's how I log into the system to edit the script or run other commands, but the UI on tty1 is configured using /etc/init/tty1.conf using respawn, so if it doesn't display properly the first time, I can't get it to work [06:51] vsk_ram21, Most of those apps can be found in the Partners repo and even google, who has their own safe repo to add and use. [06:51] what is the best option for creating a network login setup in linux? [06:51] te, its not working right i installed ubuntu on it and it didnt boot right with my computer but i used another one and it worked fine i just wanna fix it [06:51] Madpilot: Will do. Was just hoping there was an independent means of comparing the package lists or package checksums to a "clean" version without a bunch of scripting. [06:52] holmser: what do you mean, network login setup? [06:52] Wauraudon, you are saying that you start your ui script in the /etc/init/tty1.conf file? [06:52] cfedde: yea, it replaces the login on tty1 [06:52] FrozenFire, not AFAIK. Another case of "that's never broken for me, so I don't know how to fix it"... [06:52] vsk_ram21, And to be quite blunt with you, we don't really assist with non-supported repos. [06:52] te, Does that work for you? http://jyrangames.com/VideoTutorials/UnderstandingLOGL_GLib.html [06:53] Wauraudon why not put it in say tty2.conf or 3? [06:53] te: I have 4 ubuntu installs going right now. I would like to have a central server to log into that verifies my credentials [06:53] cfedde: It has to display as soon as the system is finished booting, is there a way to make tty2 or 3 the default tty? [06:53] syn-ack: leave abt supporting non-supported repos..any ways for configuring synaptic or apt to use a 32 bit repo.? [06:53] I don't need my home directory and such to move with me, although that would be a nice perk [06:54] Wauraudon: maybe... let me do some research. [06:54] Wauraudon: I used to do something like that on SCO back in the oldendays. [06:54] I guess I'm looking for something similar to an Active Directory setup te [06:54] danie114: http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php?download=tar Simply unzip it to your USB device and run bootinst.bat (or bootinst.sh) to make it bootable. [06:55] cfedde: Do messages from the boot process only spill over onto tty1 or all of them? [06:55] holmser: could use openldap [06:55] danie114: After you re-format it vfat... [06:55] ActionParsnip, googling now... [06:55] Wauraudon: iirc they go where syslog sends them. [06:55] oh man, i love compiz [06:55] danie114: sudo fdisk -l [06:56] Hi guys, I would like to install the display drivers for my new Acer Netbook D255-1268 (runs on dualcore N550). So far, the only thing I have tried is to run the Additional drivers wizard found in the systems menu. Any ideas? [06:56] LorgonJortle: Nope. Just shows a green box in the upper left corner. [06:56] vsk_ram21, Check your manpages next time. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dpkg-architecture.1.html [06:57] ActionParsnip, that looks like a perfect solution, thank you [06:57] hello [06:57] What the Hell... FlowPlayer didn't work at all. So I tried fooling with JWPlayer. It turns out (right on the site) that it DOES support OGV... so I'm not sure what's going wrong there. Man, I've no idea. [06:58] anybody active users of GTK+ here? [06:58] cfedde: I already changed kernel.printk in /etc/sysctl.conf to 3 4 1 3 to suppress warnings about automount that were appearing over top of my dialog UI [06:58] cfedde: That was one problem solved :p [06:58] okaprinarjaya, I'd say that anyone running Ubuntu is. [06:58] syn-ack: thank u [06:59] te, its taking forever to download 7 mins left [07:00] syn-ack: i mean a GTK+ developer :) [07:00] LorgonJortle, jwplayer will switch to html5 mode, flash wont support ogv itself [07:00] d [07:00] i need to know reporting tools in GTK+ [07:00] LorgonJortle, dunno about flowplayer [07:00] anyone have any recommendations on a good linux administration book? [07:00] Hi guys, I would like to install the display drivers for my new Acer Netbook D255-1268 (runs on dualcore N550). So far, the only thing I have tried is to run the Additional drivers wizard found in the systems menu. Any ideas? [07:01] hello [07:01] hello satya [07:01] Please see this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703988&highlight=ssl+error [07:01] StepNjump: that should work. what are you getting when you activate recommended? [07:01] brontoeee, JWPlayer works great for me in Chromium, but everyone else I talk to is unable to view it (they're on Windows). Any ideas? [07:01] okaprinarjaya: hi [07:01] Also, JWPlayer doesn't work for me in FF. [07:01] LorgonJortle: Here is a portion of the code from Dave's page: http://pastebin.com/czRY4xQq [07:02] holmser: what are you looking to do in linux? [07:02] satya: do u know reporting tools / widget in GTK+? [07:02] can you please help me with this mkimage error? http://pastebin.com/5MhuSVSz [07:02] mrdebuntu: nothing comes up unfortunately [07:02] phaedo, I want to learn it. Really learn it. Down to the nuts and bolts. [07:02] StepNjump: do you have nvidia video? [07:02] okaprinarjaya: i dont know. [07:02] danie114: Did you re-format it? [07:02] te, I've the same exact code now (trying it without JWPlayer) and it still works in Chromium, but not in FF. [07:03] Mrdebuntu. I'm to quite sure. I could check the specifications [07:03] LorgonJortle, windows, as ie users? you will need some additional formats, or use flash compatible format exclusively [07:03] te still waiting for the download [07:03] let me check [07:03] connect [07:03] StepNjump: have you ran update manager first? [07:03] How can you upgrade lucid to maverick using only cli? [07:03] brontoeee, They've all been using FF. [07:03] phaedo, I've been running it exclusively for the last 5 years, but now I want to get down and dirty. I was thinking about trying a LFS install [07:03] <_skpl> soreau: sudp apt-get dist-upgrade [07:04] LorgonJortle, then ogv should work with
