[00:06] needlez: third: man chown && man chmod [00:08] schcherbak: I did that chown root fileName already then chmod 644 the only problem is that the script that is ran to modify the file doesn't modify the file. How can I make the script which is ran at startup able to modify it too [00:09] needlez: via crontab, use @boot for root crontab (this you modify via sudo) [00:09] what is crontab and how can I use that?? with the script I created explain please [00:10] !cron [00:10] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[00:36] OK my icons are tooo big (Ub10.04) and I want to make them smaller. Not individually, all at once. I forget how. Please tell me.

It's been a while since i played chess at FICS . can't remember how i had launched it :D ...any ideas? [00:40] will: they seem to interfear with each other some [00:40] well, I guess it can.. but you shouldnt. [00:41] Nellwee: /home/, press Ctrl+H to show hidden fiels [00:41] Scunizi: I would not be able to tell you. I have only been in the battle between ALSA and Pulse-Audio. [00:41] edbian, I see. Its not booting so I can get chkdsk running, so anything would be helpful I guess [00:41] Scunizi: I have still yet to accomplish a global control over ALSA without having Pulse-Audio installed. [00:41] YertleTheTurtle, You can use gparted. I don't think it's capable of fixing problems it finds. You need a windows xp disk (or 7 or whatever you have) [00:41] hello ? can anyone help? [00:42] yertle, if you have a windows disk you could build a PE from it so that you could scan it reliably [00:42] YertleTheTurtle, Alternatively, you could get all the data off the ntfs partition, clobber it, and use Linx Exclusively [00:42] edbian, eh dont' want to. thanks [00:42] Nellwee: For that, right click the panel > add to panel > Window List [00:42] edbian, only use it for games, got tired of fucking with wine. === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [00:42] will: yea.. me too.. I suddenly had my USB headset speaker volume reduced to near nothing and was pulling my hair out because all gui accessable volume controls were all the way up.. somehow alsa-mixer was turned almost all the way down for output.. AND it only affected my USB headset.. not my speakers.. weird. [00:42] the hdd is on its way out, i just need to replace it [00:42] NTFS - Their is no equivalent yet to chkdsk/scandisk for NTFS in linux. [00:42] Yoinx ok im trying to follow that guide but now I've mounted the drive it gives the wrong output.. How do I unmount it? [00:42] YertleTheTurtle, Then get a windows CD [00:42] its in the other room (I think) [00:43] umount [00:43] does anyone know how to laucnh the eboard ? I want to play chess but forgot the command to run [00:43] Polah, still cant find .gtk-bookmarks . It did show me all hidden files just not that one [00:43] fadax, you might be better off just rebooting and starting fresh following the guide [00:44] YertleTheTurtle, what everyone is getting at... is even if you're able to find some way to scan the disk... linux doesn't really support it.. so you risk data loss. [00:44] nellwee, it is a file, not a folder. Try this: gedit ~/.gtk-bookmarks [00:44] Oh ok ill do that... I was just trying to avoid waiting for the livecd again! Thanks for the help [00:45] Make sure you use your proper OS disc for scanning of an NTFS partition. Misuse will corrupt data and possibly the partition itself. [00:45] np, fadax... just dont know what you've done and you probably don't wanna mess anything up === tohuw is now known as Tohuw [00:46] hi all,good morning [00:46] http://pastebin.com/dYdE42C1 [00:46] Only system other than an NTFS based OS that can securely check the disc integrity of an NTFS partition is a Macintosh with NTFS 3G installed. [00:47] You MAY be able to find some sort of application or software that is Linux/Ubuntu compatible that has the same features of NTFS 3G. [00:47] will, Is there a difference between NTFS-3g on Mac than the NTFS-3g on linux? [00:48] Yes. [00:48] Mac's version costs money and has extra features. [00:49] Polah, http://pastebin.com/dYdE42C1 [00:49] my backtrack dont work [00:50] Nellwee: and they don't go to your Documents folder and such like? [00:50] greetings Senix [00:50] Your places should be, in this order: Home Folder, Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads and they should all link to the correct places listed on gtk-bookmarks [00:51] Polah, no they link to other stuff.. but I can open compter and filesystem and home folder and view everything [00:51] is there something wrong with vbox in 10.10? I have been getting kernel panics while trying to run linux from scratch in vbox [00:51] Does anyone know of a piece of software for ubuntu that will handle where my downloads go on a rule set basis? So like I download any Picture format Jpg Png Bmp.. etc and it will move that completed download automatically to my Pictures folder and same thing with documents and software installs etc.. [00:51] will, The proprietary version is called Tuxera NTFS. NTFS-3g is the free version. However apparently the names are inter-changeable (which is confusing) [00:51] chamunks, That would be a setting in your browser. I'm not aware of anything like that. [00:52] edbian: Understandable. And that explains alot. But it doesn't explain why they charged me for the KEXT for it in Mac... *Must have been a greedy guy* [00:52] Nellwee: Sounds like a strange configuration error with GNOME [00:52] will, It's a bit of a mess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS-3G [00:53] !backtrack > root__ [00:53] root__, please see my private message [00:53] Polah, if I click places then home folder I get firefox_wallpaper.png [00:53] Tuxera NTFS 3G for Mac - 34.93 USD [00:53] Yeah, they only charge for Mac. [00:54] hi guys, How do I make my Nameserver allow access to my sites from LAN and WAN at the same time? [00:54] The NTFS 3G in Mac OS is modified to a serious extent. [00:55] will, I learned something new tonight! :) [00:55] I have been able to modify alot of settings to a NTFS partition with it. [00:55] and it sucks [00:55] NTFS on mac totally fucked the new HD I bought [00:55] edbian: Yeah. Mac sucks money right out of your wallet, haha. [00:55] Polah, thanks for scratching your head on this one lol not sure how it happened [00:56] If my A record points to my LAN IP, I can only visit my site locally, but if I set it to the WAN IP, I can only access it from a seperate network. [00:56] will, conversely, linux sucks time right out of your life, so... take your pick [00:56] I have nothing but time! [00:56] Nellwee, I'm not too sure then. I'll take a guess at it being a GNOME configuration error or being generally broken. So you could make start by reinstall GNOME, but I'm really not too sure. [00:56] Just not time to blow money on Mac. [00:56] Hodr, You should have your router port forward connections coming from the Internet. [00:56] will, you have no food or money or wiminz? [00:56] bummer [00:56] 1 woman and 2 kids. [00:56] Polah, how would I re install gnome [00:57] I take my Ubuntu break every now and then. [00:57] will, married? mmm, that doesn't count [00:57] Otherwise i might go insane. [00:57] Polah, ill try anything before I re install whole pc [00:57] No no no... I shall never fall into that trap. [00:57] mac is for trustafarians who go like "omg, look my computer matches my shoooes!" [00:58] anyone here installed rstudio ? [00:58] Nellwee: You don't need to reinstall everything to reinstall gnome [00:58] Mac has better gaming support with Wine than Linux does. [00:58] dunno what rstudio is, I've install ubuntu-studio though [00:58] Abstrakt: If your shoes are made out of unibody aluminium [00:58] Which REALLY sucks. [00:58] will, hahah, saying that mac or linux has "any" gaming support is a joke [00:58] Nellwee: I'd assume you would do sudo apt-get remove gnome2 and then the same but with install and then configure [00:58] that's the one place really where windows still shines [00:58] I'm not sure, I've never done it. Best to ask someone else [00:59] windows for games, mac for video editing and linux for everything else [00:59] I have played Fallout 3 in Mac. I can't even support it at all in Win. [00:59] well, mac/win for netflix, but you can do that in a virtual machine in ubuntu [00:59] emulate a Wii [00:59] A+ solution [00:59] will, you must have some crappy windows hardware then [00:59] Intel 4500MHD.>.> [00:59] You tell me. [01:00] derp, dunno what that is [01:00] mobo chipset? [01:00] It's a major upgrade from my old Intel 950 GMA though. [01:00] gfx card? if it's a graphix card, and it's intel, you're asking for trouble already [01:00] Yep. [01:00] Laptop though. [01:00] And a cheap one at that. [01:00] ah, there's your second problem [01:00] and third [01:00] respectively [01:01] I enjoy modifying my software to adapt to it's hardware. So it doesn't bother me too much. [01:01] does anybody know how to print an A4 document to US letter size paper in Ubuntu? [01:02] Polah, http://pastebin.com/aFzW2pMQ [01:02] i figured this would be straightforward, but i couldnt find any control for it [01:02] Polah, what did I do wrong [01:02] lol [01:02] and i cant think what to search for on the net [01:02] hello everyone [01:02] is there a vaillant archer to help me ? I get http://pastebin.com/e8Cv1Ym2 when trying to install rstudio hereis my ld.so.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/353785/ here is my $PATH http://pastebin.com/vd5sCG7T please help [01:02] Uhh [01:03] You didn't have gnome in the first place [01:03] Yoinx I followed the guide but when I do grub install it says : attempting to install grub to a partition instead of [01:03] remove gnome, leave gnome2 [01:03] The mbr [01:03] edbian My router is forwarding the http and dns ports to my server === Guest94766 is now known as DarkDevil [01:04] Nellwee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178720 [01:04] Hodr, Then your DNS server should be telling incoming connections to go to your router === DarkDevil is now known as Guest50862 [01:04] Then it says embedding is not possible. Grub can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. Use --force to use them (not recommended) [01:04] Hodr, Cause you are doing NAT (because your ISP only gave you one IP address) [01:04] What should I do? [01:06] Hodr, Because you are doing NAT all the DNS tells WAN connections is the public IP of the router. Maybe you can configure it to tell things on the LAN where each other are. That would be more useful. [01:06] TravelingMonkey: Try opening your document in Firefox and then using it's print selection for adjustments. Just a suggestion.No clue if it will work for you or not. [01:06] Yoinx Nevermind I've found what I was doing wrong! [01:06] well, its a pdf [01:06] and im opening it with evince [01:07] but the "resize to fill printable area" option doesnt seem to exist [01:07] edbian ok, I will try it, I have a commercial service coming in a week with 5 static's, but was hoping for a quick fix in the mean time [01:08] edbian using a proxy site works, but they load up the pages with ads and crap :-( [01:08] Hodr, Quick fix: tell the DNS that everything is at your router's public IP. Tell the router to port forward to the various servers [01:09] firefox uses evince to display pdfs [01:09] so, that is not an option [01:09] TravelingMonkey: I would not know where to start. I have not used that program for PDF based viewing. I normally use Adobe-Acrobat. [01:09] to try to work around this, i installed okular [01:10] it appears the KDE dialogs dont have such an option either [01:10] Hmm. [01:10] KDE was usually good at doing that. [01:10] yeah [01:10] i think this particular thing is missing [01:10] i never thought about it before [01:10] i just assumed it existed === nick is now known as Guest11901 [01:12] TravelingMonkey: I just opened a PDF with the basic document viewer in Ubuntu, i have all the common options for printer adjustments. [01:12] do you have something such as "resize document to printable area"? [01:13] or "expand to fill printable area"? [01:13] hi, I set a standard program (totem) to play DVDs, how can I change that default program? [01:13] hey does anybody know how to rearrange the icons within and between the notification area vs the indicator applet? [01:13] im trying to remember the exact wording [01:14] TravelingMonkey: Page Scaling - Fit page to printable area. [01:14] okay [01:14] i think i see it now [01:15] man, i searched for that thing like 10 times [01:15] it just proves you can never find something when youre looking for it [01:15] or at least that i cant [01:15] ;) [01:15] Lol. [01:15] I am actually having an issue with my logout/shutdown icon in teh upper right hand corner on the taskbar keeps dissapearing. [01:16] root__, why are you pming me [01:16] yeah [01:16] thats been happening to me, too [01:16] Hmm. [01:16] but only with the second login [01:16] It hasn't happened before. [01:16] Mine just randomly goes *POOF*. [01:16] like, i have another account for a relative, and its fine [01:16] but mine disappears when i log in as the second user [01:16] It happened after i adjusted my ALSA-Pulse-Audio setup. [01:17] thats strange [01:17] but i havent adjusted that [01:17] hey anybody here with any FreeBSD expirience?? cause they kick me out of #freebsdhelp for no reason u.u [01:17] but i also found that if you kill the X server, it comes back [01:17] at least sometimes [01:18] i didnt bother this time cause i was already into a bunch of stuff when i noticed [01:18] So far i only have two issues. [01:18] My shutdown/logout icon. [01:18] And no audio in KQ. [01:18] are you using lucid? [01:18] 10.04 [01:19] yeah [01:19] I prefer 8.10..... [01:19] me, too [01:19] me, too, again [01:19] Can't get a higher up Distro. [01:19] 8.10 was about the peak [01:19] And can't run 8.10 anymore. [01:19] Damm EoL junk. [01:19] No support for it at all anymore. [01:20] So, I read the man page for nice (In shell) and it would appear that the shell doesn't know which version of nice to use. If anyone knows, I would gladly appreciate the knowledge of how to change nice value from the command line. [01:20] well, there is a lot of hardware that was subsequently supported, too [01:20] none of those 3G cards worked with 8.10 [01:21] but many of them work flawlessly with 10.04 [01:21] well, maybe flawlessly is the wrong word [01:21] since they can lock the system [01:21] You had to manually install them in 8.10 [01:21] but they work out of the box [01:21] i know [01:21] but now, they just work [01:21] Ubuntu 10.10 Compiz Fusion Dual MOnitors , can you change multiple desktop cubes independently ??? [01:21] sudo /flipflop.sh [01:21] Lol. [01:21] thats another question [01:22] compiz is forcing a mouse pointer on me [01:22] O.o [01:22] Don't let it poke you. [01:22] Lolwut? [01:22] when i turn it off, it switches to the pointer i chose in appearance === mike is now known as Guest24013 [01:22] but when i turn it back on, it goes back to the one it likes [01:22] and no change will affect it [01:22] Hmm. [01:22] is there some way to set the mouse pointer in compiz? [01:23] I wouldnot be able to help you in teh slightest on that one. [01:23] its been bugging me [01:23] If you are using CCSM then maybe you can change it. But other than that. I wouldn't have teh slightest clue. I have never changed my cursor. [01:23] but its an annoyance, so i usually forget about it [01:23] but someone was just talking about compiz === lance_ is now known as Guest56998 [01:24] well, if the comixcursors are installed, it just defaults to the black one [01:24] and doesnt allow any changes [01:24] maybe the start button problem has to do with compiz, too [01:24] hmmm [01:24] hold on [01:25] Oh, he was asking about Compiz and the multiple monitor setup. [01:25] i know [01:25] hi [01:25] i read the post [01:25] I am guessing he wants 4 desktops on each monitor. [01:25] And to be able to control them seperately. [01:25] well, that had no effect [01:25] who knows how to get the length of the "int" type in ubuntu ? [01:25] wait a sec [01:26] hello, who knows how to get the length of the "int" type in ubuntu ? [01:26] the power button and the IM client applet are still missing [01:26] but the panel is still making/keeping space for them [01:27] o2oo: in what context? C? [01:27] restarting compiz fixed my pointer problem -- this time [01:27] interesting [01:27] that didnt work the other day [01:28] Anyone know how to change the cursor? Specifically when it's dragged onto a link? I don't like the little, "hand" icon lol [01:28] jrib, in shell [01:28] there are themes [01:28] Ubuntu 10.10 Compiz Fusion Dual MOnitors , can you change multiple desktop cubes independently ??? [01:28] you might even be able to edit a pointer theme and put some other image in there [01:28] for example, "uname -m" can get the ubuntu is 32bit or 64bit [01:29] hmmm [01:29] I knew a method to get the "int" type's length in ubuntu shell, but forgot! === aaron is now known as Guest49792 [01:29] o2oo: try #bash [01:30] jrib, ?

[01:30] after it reboot, i got this error: Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [01:31] ok [01:31] what seem to be the problem here? [01:31] all i did was mount the .iso and install within windows [01:31] Cool. Got my shutdown/logout icon fixed. [01:31] it asks me to reboot, which i did and got this eror: Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [01:31] any h elp would be appreciated. [01:32] You tried to install 10.10 or 11.04? [01:32] general props to the open-source community!! [01:32] 10.10 [01:32] x32 bit [01:32] y'all are great...! [01:32] That is why. [01:32] Stick with 10.04 for now. [01:32] Or even do a distro upgrade THROUGH 10.04. [01:32] go on a windows forum, and a lot of folks are a little uppity... [01:32] Don't manually install it with the ISO. [01:32] oh, so u'll telling me to install 10.04 ? [01:32] and then do upgrade? [01:33] The main Squash filessystem is a little screwy in 10.10 and 11.04 at teh moment. [01:33] but y'all take it in stride, even when my ??'s are incredibly stupid...thanks again! [01:33] You more than likely will never get them installed. D= [01:33] yeah, you could always just get virtualbox and install ubuntu in there if you wanted to try it out from windows [01:33] as they often/always are (see above, re: incredibly stupid).. [01:34] I'm assuming you are since you're trying to use wubi [01:34] mjn, there's no such thing as a stupid question... Since you were smart enough to ask. [01:35] ok,ill download 10.04 [01:35] see, that's what i'm talkin about...thanks again... [01:35] i'll do it and did it, and done it. ;) [01:35] brb [01:35] I appoligize i didn't catch your question "mjn". I was probably paying attention to my son when you typed it in. [01:36] Phong_: why dont you download 10.10 [01:37] Hi [01:37] gnome : How are yu doing [01:37] I want to have tcpdump's output to be a little cleaner. [01:37] larious: I recommended him to install 10.04 and do a Distro upgrade from within due to the Squashfs and Wubi being corrupted in the new ISO's. [01:38] will, wasn't a question....i just noticed a lot of good behavior in the open source community...have benefited from the helpful attitudes of it's denizens, and want to encourage said behavior with a general shoutout/express my gratitude that there are places like this to go for help.. [01:38] I want to parse it... [01:38] mjn: Oh, it sounded like you asked a question and never got a reply, haha. [01:38] I'm curious about this command (NOT TO BE RUN): sudo apt-get --purge remove [icecat] If run with bash, it tries to delete about 6gb of packages on my machine. Why does it find so many? If run on zsh, it is "no matches found [icecat]". I'm guessing bash recognizes that as a regular expression? [01:38] More importantly, I need to upload via php [01:38] *ftp [01:39] I would probally upload the log, and use explode to manipulate the output. [01:39] will: I have 10.04 and am having a problem that is why I am thiking of better upgrading to 10.10, no one yet solve my problem [01:39] How would I use ftp to upload a log? Also, can i rotate the log for tcpdump? [01:41] larious:I would recommend a Distro upgrade from within your Update Manager rather than installing from the ISO. [01:41] backtrack === timo_ is now known as Guest71642 [01:41] larious, i did download 10.10., and got this error : Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [01:41] yes [01:42] Will: maybe you can solve my problem too [01:42] But then again. Formatting into EXT3 may let you install it from boot-up like normal. I know installation from Wubi inside Windows on Distros 10.10-11.04 comes out in two ways. [01:42] ok i need to reboot [01:42] be back [01:43] It will either tell you that Wubi is missing. Ot it will tell you that the SquashFS is corrupted or missing. I can't remember exactly what the outcome was that had to do with SquashFS. [01:43] do some body now to work with back track 4 [01:43] larious: Sure. What might your problem be?

[02:58] how do i mount/connect a My Book World Edition on Ubuntu ? [02:59] hiexpo: lol i lost everything and im trying to get it to work again [02:59] dr_Willis: well yea... but i don't want all those libraries... i'm trying to build my own minimal version of ubuntu... maybe even more minimal than xubuntu, and i don't want to get lubuntu cause i want to do it myself [02:59] ariel_ a usb hard drive/ just plug it in.. it shuld auto mount. or show up in the placves menu.. or use the proper mount command.

[02:59] hi frien [02:59] hm [02:59] maybe i wont [02:59] dr_Willis it's a network drive [03:00] grabbed my usb stick [03:00] and grabbed stuff off a debian repos [03:00] i want to use swat but its no longer actively maintained :( === h3r0 is now known as Guest84324 [03:00] and so far..its working on isntalling stuff [03:00] dr_Willis: i don't want a variant... i want to build it myself === Guest84324 is now known as hero [03:00] ariel_ depends on what services its using then for thenetwork. [03:00] brb though [03:00] what can i have in replacement for swat? :( [03:01] dr_Willis how do i figure that? [03:01] w/c 2 [03:01] hero: You can probably still install swat even though it's no longer maintained. [03:01] ariel_ read its docs? it may be using samba. or some other NAS service. [03:02] yes but can i have any software that can replace swat... [03:02] im on untrusted network [03:02] Should edit my $PATH via ~/.bash_profile? [03:02] *Should I [03:02] Dunno. I'm not even familiar with swat. [03:02] theres other samba config/admin tools out there hero. but its proberly best to learn to edit the config files by hand. [03:02] oh thank you p_res [03:03] n2i you can if you want to, [03:03] oh i see maybe like webmin [03:03] hero: I've used webmin before. [03:03] hi [03:03] is it hard to use? [03:03] webmin is not really a good tool to use these days either :) [03:03] where is channel for monodevelop? [03:04] so forget about webmin. [03:04] oh really dr_Willis.. [03:04] hero: I'm just having a Google of swat now for curiosity. [03:04] !eboxc [03:04] !ebox [03:04] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:04] dr_Willis: What is wrong with webmin? [03:04] swat - the old original web interface to samba. by the samba guys [03:04] !webmin [03:04] 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. [03:04] there ya go... [03:04] dr_Willis: Should I create new file while it is not exist? [03:05] dr_Willis: Didn't know that. Cheers. [03:05] oh i see [03:05] n2i a .bashrc an .bash_profile exist here by default === Guest54818 is now known as DarkDevil [03:05] im almost buying book about webmin :s [03:05] n2i unless you got some other ubuntu bariant thats differnt. [03:05] hero: Why buy a book. It's simple to use. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest47271 [03:05] hero its not worth buyung a book on. its a dieing project for the most part. [03:05] dr_Willis: I have no .bash_profile. I must create new? [03:06] now i wont buy a book about webmin :) [03:06] Webmin home page still has installable DEB packages available. [03:06] n2i if you want one.. and you dont have one.. then sounds like you make one.. or copy one from somewhere [03:06] n2i: edit the /etc/bash.rc [03:07] HI!

[03:09] dr_Willis: So..I will add some thing like that: PATH = $PATH:/sbin to my ~/.bashrc. Is it ok? [03:10] !path [03:10] you want to export the path. [03:10] and thats not totally proper syntax you gave. [03:11] and sbin should allready be in the default path. [03:11] export "PATH = $PATH:/sbin"? === james is now known as Guest43428 [03:11] dr_Willis: yes, I also think so. [03:12] my /etc/enviroment: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" [03:12] its time to check some bash docs n2i and learn some basics.. its to easy to make typos to lean that stuff on irc. [03:12] theres NO spaces befor/after the = i think [03:13] how do i hide text messages during boot and shutdown? [03:13] and theres thousands of web sites/examples about setting the path [03:13] :D [03:13] export PATH="path/to/bin:$PATH" .. n2i [03:14] Wondering if someone can help me out. I recently setup 10.10x64 on my server. i created another user and am ssh'ing in through that user instead of root, but the terminal prompt is quite different (just $ instead of user@host$ and can't use arrows). Any suggestions? [03:15] oh i think maybe you can change the shell pyrofallout? [03:15] i think its in /etc/passwd [03:16] you should check that user and check the shell [03:16] you set your prompt via the PS1 variable. thers doezns of examples out there/ it maybe its not using bash, or its not running the .bash* init scripts [03:16] how do i hide text messages during boot and shutdown? [03:16] $ usually is /bin/sh [03:16] and change it to /bin/bash [03:17] is that correct dr_Willis? [03:17] best to use the chsh command to change you shell :) [03:17] or as a test just run 'bash' [03:17] yeah you right :d [03:17] ljsoftnet: which version of ubuntu are you on? [03:17] thanks hero, yes it is /bin/sh [03:18] i think it has something to do with $PS1 [03:18] pyrofallout: arrows? [03:18] bastidrazor ubuntu 10.04 [03:19] if i press arrow up, to like repeat last command, it instead inputs ^{{A [03:19] ^[[A** [03:19] i think you can create user with default bash shell by using -s option in useradd command [03:19] ljsoftnet: /etc/default/grub add :: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" then sudo update-grub [03:20] pyrofallout: PS1="\u@\h \W:\$" will be ok === raul is now known as bigbang [03:21] I tried that and it literally sets the promp t to \u@\h \W$ [03:21] bastidrazor its already on grub [03:22] maybe better to leave it as default... [03:22] hmm. i noticed root is using /bin/bash, is there any reason i cant run bash over sh [03:23] Hello [03:23] switched my user to bash and things are good now. I guess my question then is there any concerns with using bash over sh [03:23] as I am used to and prefer bash [03:24] ljsoftnet: then you should be seeing no text but splash screens [03:24] hello all [03:24] I want to upgrade ubuntu 9.10 to 10.10 with live cd [03:24] Help [03:25] bastidrazor but its still there [03:25] any one have help for brasero program in ubuntu [03:25] Mishrax: Run the installer and away you go!

[03:26] Actuall here is d situation [03:26] running 8.04 and i need to replicate an installed system. I've always done this with rsync. Everything boots up correctly on a fresh drive with identical partition table and filesystems but when booting the first time it complains about /var/run and /var/lock (varrun,varlock) and cannot start networking because of this. A reboot fixes this problem. Is there a reason this happens or a way to restore these filesystems so this doesn't happen [03:27] Thank you, dr_Willis! [03:27] jussi: ctrl+shift+c ctrl+shift +q [03:27] I hv dual boot xp nd 7 then ubuntu over them [03:27] Mishrax: That's fine. So what's the problem? [03:27] any one tell me why brasero wont burn dvd? [03:27] leaveboy: ahh, Ill try that, tanks [03:28] rolo braserero is a little flakey at times. theres otehr burning apps out there thaty may work better [03:28] I m nt getting hw to cnfigure installation === bigbang is now known as krux [03:28] I fear if it won't boot again [03:29] Run the installer from the aforementioned icon. [03:29] im open to a suggestion dr willis [03:29] !burn [03:29] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:29] I did [03:29] After that [03:29] hm [03:29] what is the timezone package? [03:30] after i grabbed the updates from the debian repos earlier, so far no trouble downloading from apt now lol [03:30] thanks for the tip on dvd software [03:30] or... not that.. but the one that sets daylight savings time...? [03:30] Nd what if i hv to remove ubuntu [03:30] nestea DEBIAN repos? You mixxed debian and ubuntu? thatds not a good idea. [03:30] Mishrax: ... follow the prompts of the installer. [03:30] nestea: no wonder you're having issues. you're not being truthful in what you're doing. [03:30] no [03:31] im not mixing until now i believe [03:31] All os are in different drives [03:31] debian is the easiest one to browse for me [03:31] Mishrax: Are you looking to wipe your current Ubuntu install? [03:31] and i just grabbed 2 files [03:31] fontconfig and fontconfig1 [03:31] lol [03:31] worked like a charm after that with dpkg -i [03:31] Does anybody know how to get VLC to open new videos as fullscreen (on my second monitor) by default. [03:31] good luck and hopeit dont break in the figure. [03:31] Ya to empty the drive [03:32] Mishrax: So as I've said. Run the installer and follow the prompts and install the Live CD to the empty hard drive you wish to install to. [03:32] knoppies - compiz has some settings that can tweak that. or chck the advanced controll/settings in vlc. VLC rembers what screen it opened on last here. so it stays on my 2nd monitor. [03:33] after those two files [03:33] Is there a way to find and replace *only* LF characters in a CSV files, I have occurances of LF CR which I wan't to keep, I only want to replace LF when it is by itself? [03:33] apt-get is downloading from [03:33] thanks dr_Willis, I will look into that. [03:33] a ubuntu repos [03:33] it went down quick lol couldnt see the whole thing [03:33] No... Now tell if i want to use only xp nd 7... [03:33] Hw to remove ubuntu and grub [03:34] If I want to view Microsoft Power Point files (.pptx) on ubuntu, how do you suggest I do it (I remember seeing some pptviewer in synaptic but I can't find it now, is open office my only/best option?) [03:34] Mishrax: If you install the new Ubuntu, new installer will install the new grub config for you so you can still boot XP and W7. [03:35] quick question: if I install 10.04 desktop, can i update to 10.10 via the internet updates built into Ubuntu? i don't have a 10.10 disc handy but i do have 10.04. can i install that and get up to date through the updater after installing? [03:35] yes [03:36] zeleftikam: you can. [03:36] thanks!! [03:36] zeleftikam, yes, but I dont recommend it (I had a bad experience years ago). If you are going to do it that way, then I recommend you update everything you can in 10.04 before you try update to 10.10 [03:36] zeleftikam: it tends to be messy, however, so be careful! [03:36] ahh [03:36] I m getting but what should i choose on installation time.. [03:36] Where to install boot loader... And in which drive to install ubuntu [03:37] Install Ubuntu to whichever drive you want to. Boot loader will sort itself out, don't worry about that. [03:37] Its showing all other drives as /sd*/c: smthing [03:38] brb [03:38] how do i hide text messages during boot and shutdown? [03:38] ljsoftnet: why would you want to? ;) I think using plymouth /should/ hide verbosity. [03:39] Mishrax: That's normal. [03:39] joshmclvl1 its not hiding everything [03:39] Mishrax: That's what drives are known as in the world of Unix/Linux. [03:40] ljsoftnet: *grumble grumble*, that's not good. [03:40] Hmm so i vl install it as u say.. I vl ask u while installing [03:40] ljsoftnet: or at least not ideal. [03:40] Thanx [03:41] No props. [03:41] probs [03:41] Upto what time U r here [03:41] does anyone know what email application is compatible with Exchange Server 2010?

[03:42] is it possible to run an X server on another computer and use xinerma for multimonitors [03:42] illmortal: thunderbird maybe? [03:43] hmm.. ok [03:43] illmortal: maybe I'm an idealist but I'd think exchange would be built into the big names [03:43] illmortal: Shouldn't any email client be able to connect to Exchange? [03:43] illmortal: and if not it would be easy to find a way, id guess [03:43] Ok [03:44] p_res that's what I thought.. but apparently not. [03:44] Hmmm. [03:44] Odd. [03:44] well at least not evolution [03:44] no one likes my idea? === Gwar_Trolle is now known as Guest18642 [03:45] illmortal: I use Thunderbird, I find it's much better. [03:45] no? [03:45] illmortal: the big G brought up an article for evolution from 2006 for exchange, lol. dunno if it would be useful though. like third entry is ubuntu wikis thunderbird [03:46] checking thunderbird right now [03:46] evolution does support exchange, but an old versión of it, not latest [03:47] May I ask if anyone knows the channel name for Natty discussion? Is it ubuntu+1? For some reason the list command isn't working. [03:47] Cygnia: #ubuntu+1 === ruan|sleep is now known as ruan [03:47] Thanks rww [03:47] lol.. thunderbird doesn't support anything outside of pop3 and imap for incoming.

[03:50] hey guys i am trying to install a program called handbrake having problems getting to it i downloaded the ppa using sudo aptget but i have no idea from there [03:51] toby_, handbrake is an outdated piece of crap [03:52] toby_: can you give a link to the ppa page? [03:52] cfedde: click nm-applet, choose edit connections and create a new connection on the wifi tab [03:52] Stryker: you have a better program for video compression / conversion?

[03:53] ah i didnt hit that last command [03:55] bastidrazor, no dice says Package handbrake is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[03:58] Swerve__, prolly not i am here for help too [03:58] how to convert color pdf file to black and white ? [03:58] toby_: it would appear the ppa is borked. once you 'sudo apt-get update' it should tell apt-get that handbrake is available from the ppa [03:59] trism: awesome! thanks. BTW are there doc pointers somewhere for this? [03:59] cfedde: or add wpa-ssid and wpa-psk to /etc/network/interfaces directly. e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com/580419/ [03:59] let me explain..I have ubuntu 9.10 installed..I stopped using windows..I need these updates from DELL so my dvd burner will work..how do i install these updates using ubuntu?

[04:05] you know how ubuntu is open source and you're supposed to be able to get the source code to everything on it? How do i get the source code of ubuntu to look at? [04:05] how can i install ubuntu studio 10.10 with a usb flash drive? (i am using windows xp and macbuntu) === Guest47271 is now known as DarkDevil [04:06] bastidrazor, 32 bit [04:06] bastidrazor, so i want maverick i386 right? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest80460 [04:06] MrBubbles: use unetbootin [04:06] niteshade, sudo apt-get source === andrew_ is now known as Guest25520 [04:06] niteshade: minus the sudo [04:06] hi, how can I set a qouta for a file?? like a limit on how many megabytes the file can be, and after that amount it will overwrite the first line?? any ideas? [04:06] bastidrazor, sweet it worked thanks alot [04:07] toby_: yes, get both handbrake-gtk and handbrake-cli-...i386.deb's [04:07] so, apt-get install source xchat? [04:07] niteshade: and if that doesn't work, make sure you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list corresponding to the deb lines. [04:07] niteshade: yes [04:07] niteshade: wait no. apt-get source xchat. [04:07] does unetbootin support ubuntu studio 10.10? [04:07] i have a verified 10.10 64-bit install cd, verified when burned and 'checked for defects' off the cd. i can't get to install or try ubuntu. it drops me to (initramfs) prompt with the message, "mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error" [04:07] oh [04:07] niteshade, apt-get source xchat (and it will put the source in the current working directory) [04:07] where does it go to look at? [04:08] oh [04:08] holy crap the cd drive is spinning out of control [04:08] thanks. I figured that figuring out everything about my computer would help me to be better educated about computers and linux in general. [04:09] oooooookkkkkk time to throw out this dvd-rom [04:09] what about kernel source? [04:09] niteshade, Sure, but don't try to read the source code if you don't know how to program :) [04:09] well, if you don't change anything [04:10] but, i know a functional amount of C and python. [04:10] niteshade, You can download the source and edit it all you want. It won't make a difference because you have to compile that source to run the code. [04:10] i just tried using unetbootin but it does not support ubuntu studio 10.10, is there a way to upgrade though terminal? [04:11] *through === mohammad is now known as Guest89415 [04:11] niteshade, The linux kernel is just another package. I don't know which one off the top of my head. [04:11] MrBubbles, did you try just loading the 10.10 iso [04:11] MrBubbles, apt-get install update [04:12] yeah. So, for example if i see a security hole in a program like xchat that could lead to a root exploit (just pulling the scenario outta my ass) and if i can fix it, then how do i compile that fix so that my computer becomes safer? [04:12] does it come with a makefile, or just the source? [04:12] or, what gcc arguments === will_ is now known as rreal [04:13] niteshade, It should come with a make file. [04:13] cool [04:13] see ya. [04:14] thanks [04:14] niteshade: you can get the source of a package with apt-get source, [04:14] niteshade: you can also rebuild an updated package: http://www.moosechips.com/2008/09/ubuntu-rebuild-a-source-package/ [04:14] niteshade, Then you compile that new version of the code and use it instead of your current version. It's probably a better idea to notify the developers about the bug fix though [04:15] yeah. Wait, what if i had a booby trap for hackers hard-coded into the program? [04:15] heh heh [04:15] you would invent an antihack [04:15] niteshade, What if you added it? Then the developers wouldn't accept your bug fix. (Nobody would accept your new version without looking at the code) [04:15] hi, how can I set a qouta for a file?? like a limit on how many megabytes the file can be, and after that amount it will overwrite the first line?? any ideas? [04:15] niteshade: opensource . . . [04:16] !quota [04:16] i've always told people that the joy of open source is that if you don't like something about your OS, you can change it if you know how [04:17] now, i can learn how [04:17] one person's joy is another person's misery [04:17] panfist one person's dog is another's dead baby [04:18] one persons misery is another persons joy [04:18] depends on whether you're doing because you want to, or you have to. [04:18] niteshade, and it's fre muhahahaha [04:18] what's worse than a dead baby? [04:18] *free [04:19] that to :D [04:19] the holocaust [04:19] ... Perhaps we should get back to Ubuntu technical support o.O [04:19] good point [04:19] has anyone done a successful kickstart install? [04:20] what is kickstart? [04:20] okay, i installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. How do i get it to net-update to 10.10 now? [04:20] bawnio: i think i read about this, some math dude in a magazine i read said that the longer a blog got, the probability of a hitler reference approaches 1 [04:20] i have read the same exact article [04:20] really? [04:20] yup [04:21] cool. [04:21] i did too [04:21] i did all the updates in Update Manager, restarted, and checked for updates again and there aren't any. is there something i have to do to get it to check for 10.10? [04:21] needlez: do you have any programming background? [04:21] i read an article that said something about justin bieber references, but this is a bit off topic [04:21] zeleftikam, Go to System -> Admin -> Software sources. Change the drop down from LTS releases to normal releases and try again in the update manager [04:22] edbian, will do. thanks [04:22] bawnio, kickstart is a script for setting up an unattended install and also your mom is off topic [04:22] pylix: not much, just want to set a folder or file to have a limit for it. can I do it with just a simple command like setquota?? [04:22] zeleftikam: What edbian said. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades has all the details. [04:22] thanks guys! :) [04:22] zeleftikam, Did it work? [04:22] edbian, yes sir. i got the upgrade dialogue going now :) [04:23] randomuser i have never heard the unattended installs being called kickstart [04:23] didn't realise 10.10 is not an LTS [04:23] zeleftikam, Awesome, be warned it takes a long time. Like several hours [04:23] zeleftikam, LTS is once every 3 years [04:23] are you using thunar? [04:23] or something... [04:23] hey i am on ubunt [04:23] hmm. i am installing on a 2.5ghz quad core with a 20 megabit connection... shouldn't take that long! [04:23] bawnio, no worries, it just means that you probably can't answer my questions about it [04:23] hey i got a question [04:24] zeleftikam, Lucky [04:24] can i speak with a certified ubanto expert [04:24] 11 minutes to download it [04:24] ?

It's a Sony running 64bit ubuntu 10.10 and it has a touch bar on the top for audio video controls. What do you call that stupid bar? [04:33] bzb: come back in 15 minutes when you've read those. [04:34] LittleRed: Playback bar? Multimedia menu? [04:34] Anyone awake in here who's good with bash scripting? I'm trying to grep the output of ffmpeg -i :/ [04:34] anyone familiar with dosbox? [04:35] banker247: i've used it before [04:35] sorry [04:35] Polah: I have googled media bar, but couldn't find anything [04:35] Banker I've used it as well, whats up [04:35] Korny1, i'm trying to do this http://forums.scummvm.org/archives.php?thread=1313908&sid=d3f741e6492fe9adb0c84289acb6926f [04:35] totally lost and can't figure out how ;) [04:36] get that openglhq working with hqx4 scalesr [04:36] Thats out of my scope :/ I'm having issues with bash :P [04:36] how can I configure the clam av on my ubuntu 10.10 [04:36] on command line how do i add 30 minutes to the current date for a script? [04:36] ? [04:36] Korny1: read about bash and pipes [04:37] rww: i was helping. I told ruan 3 different ways to record a playback [04:37] Polah: I'll see what I can find with those descriptions. It's the only thing not working...gggrrrrr [04:37] LittleRed: I assume you mean across the top of the laptop itself? Perhaps try "Sony audio control buttons drivers" or something? Perhaps it's only available from Sony itself, preinstalled on the laptop [04:37] lol. [04:37] niteshade: Good. Now do that all the time instead of descending to comments about ninjas and your nuts ;P [04:37] draven_sol: What do you mean add 30 minutes? [04:38] Polah: the Sony site only has drivers for evil windows machines [04:38] MY NUTS ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE!!! [04:38] besides, there actually is a wifi by me named deeznuts. It's kinda wierd. [04:38] shcherbak, date +%h%m + 30 minutes [04:38] LittleRed: Perhaps look for drivers you'd have to compile yourself? [04:39] where did bzb go? [04:39] Polah: that's what I was thinking... I'm ok with that process,but wasn't sure what the little bar was called [04:39] say, does anyone know how to connect to a wifi hotspot through bash? [04:40] niteshade: I use cnetworkmanager [04:40] Polah: thanks for the help, if I can't find anything I'll be back tomorrow :-) [04:40] niteshade, iwconfig might help you out, but i haven't checked it [04:41] yeah, you see nm-applet won't show up anywhere on my panel. It runs in the background and pops up when it automatically connects me to my home wifi. [04:41] prob is that without having it on my panel, i can't connect to anything besides my home wifi [04:42] draven_sol: convert it (date) to minutes (h*60+m) add 30 and divide by 60, you can use bc. [04:42] shcherbak, thanks [04:43] draven_sol: one sec, i think i have something similar here [04:44] hmm...

Can some please confirm if i have to be a root user to touch /var/mail? [04:53] that makes sence rsync... [04:53] you dont want users just messing with any system dirs... [04:54] you can setup cron jobs to run as root. [04:54] could i use sudo? [04:54] rsync: it's owned by root:mail on my system, so you'd need to be either the mail or root user, yes.

[06:57] Mithran: /dev/null is nothing, basically an empty file when reading from it (and a black hole when writing to it). /dev/zero outputs all zeroes. [06:58] is /dev/zero a black hole when writing to? and how do I stop it? [06:58] Firefishe, not sure why konq is having a fit, but you can change your default browser.. [06:58] Mithran: ctrl+C [06:59] Mithran: you input runs out... [06:59] Mithran: /dev/null is a black hole [06:59] for instance i want to see the contents of the file after doing a /dev/zero, but it just hangs [06:59] Mithran: And you'll probably want to delete the file that you just created as it's probably multiple GiB large by now. [06:59] tanath: firefox is my default browser...konqueror shouldn't even open. [06:59] it is i just checked [06:59] Mithran: what are you trying to do? [06:59] can i see the contents [06:59] Mithran, /dev/null sends nothing. /dev/zero sends zeros... and will continue until you ctrl+c it or whatever [07:00] tanath: The sofware with which I'm having a problem is pokerth 0.8.x. I'm wondering if those links are hard-coded to open konqueror. [07:00] Mithran: Think of /dev/zero as an infinitely large file containing all zero bits. [07:00] Firefishe, there are multiple places default browser can be set.. (ie., multiple defaults) but if it's embedded stuff, check firefoxs application settings for file types & such [07:00] Mithran: /dev/zero is an endless source of zeros ... so "cat /dev/zero > a" followed by a hexdump of "hd a" should show things [07:00] Firefishe, pokerth has it's own settings for browser [07:01] tanath: This issue with konqueror has been going on for some time now. I haven't checked the bug list in a while, though. [07:01] Firefishe, when you said 'embedded' i thought you mean embedded in a web page. that's not the same [07:02] kk' [07:02] tanath: no settings for browser that I can see === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [07:03] Firefishe, you're right, i'm not finding it either... but i tried clicking a link in settings and it opened in chromium (my default)...

[07:11] victorhugo289: A good way is to click on the column headings on CPU and Memory, to see what's using the most at a given moment. You may need to watch it a bit. [07:11] because Meta is being used by Unity so irssi can't use it [07:11] hello [07:12] i'm trying to install ubuntu and i need some help [07:12] Ryan__: what's the problem [07:12] syrinx_ Well I'm running win7 and I don't want to lose it so i wanted to dual boot [07:13] victorhugo289, linux is case-sensitive... [07:13] syrinx_ but when I get to the partition manager part and hit 'choose manually', my drive shows up as all free space [07:13] Ryan__: are all the partitions formatted to NTFS? [07:13] ok anyone know how to set the size limit of a txt file?? [07:14] just installed ubuntu 10.10 on another pc [07:14] syrinx_ i think so. how can i make sure? [07:14] Ryan__: do they all show up in windows? [07:14] syrinx_ yeah. i have two partitions: one is the system one, the other is a data one. Then I have some unallocated space. (the 2 partitions are both NTFS.) [07:15] im living it and i gonna try desktop effects [07:15] Ryan__, format second to fat. [07:15] there you go [07:15] RameEz: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [07:15] iiicyg and then try again? [07:15] your going to lose everything though, I believe [07:16] iiicyg wait. the second partition has data i need.. === wu is now known as Guest14101 [07:16] Ryan__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [07:16] Format first to fat. [07:16] Ryan__: make a new partition, and leave it unformated [07:16] iiicyg: 1st partition has Windows on it [07:16] Jordan_U I'm not on linux b/c i didn't install it yet [07:16] Ryan__: make a new partition, and leave it unformated [07:17] Ryan__: Please boot from the LiveCD, run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output. [07:17] iiicyg a new partition from the unallocated space? [07:17] Jordan_U: that's exremely unnecessary [07:17] Ryan__: yes [07:17] Ryan__, yes. [07:17] syrinx_: Why do you say that? [07:18] Jordan_U, because. [07:18] syrinx_, iiicyg : and leave it unformatted? i'm not sure if i can do that in win7, but i'll try [07:18] Ryan__: yes, it will be a RAW partition [07:18] anyone know about a thing like "su" where you can give it a uid instead of a username? [07:18] syrinx_, iiicyg : actually i can. "Do not format this volume" is an option [07:18] if not Ryan__ format to FAT [07:18] Ryan__, ou, cool. [07:19] syrinx_, iiicyg okay so i now have a third partition where free space used to be, and it's a "RAW" partition [07:19] gua sudo -u username [07:19] syrinx_, iiicyg should i try again? [07:19] yea [07:19] gua: see 'man sudo' [07:19] syrinx_, iiicyg ** try installing ubuntu again? [07:19] Ryan__, sure. [07:19] hi room [07:19] syrinx_, iiicyg mkay. thanks a lot guys! i'll come back here if i run into problems. [07:19] Ryan__: The main cause of the Ubuntu installer listing a drive as unpartitioned is an invalid partition table. If you do have an invalid partition table then that needs to be fixed before you do any other partitioning of the disk to prevent data loss. "sudo parted -l" will tell you if you have an invalid partition table and what exactly the problem is, like overlapping partitions. [07:19] tanath: ohh hey. awesome! thanks. i should have looked there, i just assumed [07:19] Ryan__, welcome :-) [07:20] gua, mhm. works with username or uid [07:20] Jordan_U, since i'm now going to start installing, if this didn't fix the problem i'll go ahead and do a sudo parted -l and pastebin the output here. :) [07:20] Ryan__: come back when your on Ubuntu [07:20] syrinx_, iiicyg, Jordan_U: i'll be back when i'm on ubuntu. :) brb!

[07:24] I din't get any topic. :( [07:24] can I just upgrade my Ubuntu from 9.04 to 10.10 using the install CD [07:24] without corrupting my existing install ? [07:25] or will something get over-ridden ? [07:25] iiicyg, syrinx_: hey guys. :( still shows up as free space. [07:25] I've got a window that I can't kill, and the parent process is already dead. How can I make it go away. [07:25] iiicyg syrinx_: i'm on ubuntu now though. [07:25] ryan__: no try parted [07:25] now* [07:26] ryan__, and what about fdisk -l ? [07:26] syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U: sudo parted -l right? i'll do the fdisk command as well. [07:26] bartj: you could just upgrade from Ubuntu, much easier [07:26] nm -- just figured it out :) [07:26] ryan__: Yes, "sudo parted -l". [07:26] syrinx_, trouble is it says I don't have enough space on my / partition [07:27] syrinx_, I am terribly frustrated by that warning and have scoured the web on ways to increase my / partiton but to no avail [07:27] thankfully my /home is on a diff partition [07:27] bartj: Upgrading using the alternate CD will work similar to an online upgrade as far as I know. [07:27] how do I make sure that the opengl 32bit compatability drivers are installed? [07:27] bartj, increase it with gparted O_o [07:27] syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U hrmm... gparted throws a warning before i get the output. http://pastebin.com/7DRZQSHk === issyl0 is now known as Guest50072 [07:28] greetings :] [07:28] syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U how should i proceed? [07:28] ryan__, what about fdisk -l ? [07:28] is there a channel for sound problems? [07:28] iiicyg: about to do the fdisk cmd right now [07:29] ryan__: looks like the partition table is messed up [07:29] ryan__: Those GPT signatures are the reason why the installer was showing the drive as unpartitioned (ideally it should have passed along the error message you're now getting, but it doesn't). [07:29] ryan__, yes. [07:29] * mobius2 attempts to use a usb microphone in ubuntu , much to his dismay :P [07:30] ryan__: Run "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk" Then run "sudo gdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output. [07:30] Jordan_U syrinx_ iiicyg: http://pastebin.com/vbc49T8t [07:32] ryan__: so, theres no way to format that partition you made? [07:32] syrinx_: if i boot back into windows, yeah i can format it fat32 or ntfs [07:32] Jordan_U: the firs tcommand is running right now [07:32] may as well try that [07:33] everyone brazilian [07:33] syrinx_: alright, let me try this gdisk thing first and then i'll switch os's again [07:33] everyone brazilian? [07:33] kurumin: #ubuntu-br [07:33] thanks [07:33] kk [07:33] syrinx_: The problem is that he has GPT signatures but no valid GPT label. gdisk is a utility which can remove the GPT signatures so that the installer will read the partition table without error. [07:34] Ou. [07:34] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/RckUCNRv [07:34] Cool, it's... cognitive. [07:34] can someone tell me is there an app that will retrieve the DVD Covers for TV Series [07:35] ryan__: Anser "1" and pastebin any new output. [07:35] *answer [07:35] Jordan_U: 10-4.

If you get no error from "sudo parted -l" then the installer should be able to work with the drive now. [07:38] Jordan_U, but he do nothing. Only open MBR to manipulate it O_o [07:39] Jordan_U: bah. shortly afterp osting the output of the gdisk command, ubuntu went unresponsive on me [07:39] Jordan_U: back on ubuntu, but i probably have to re-install gdisk [07:39] iiicyg: I'm hoping that gdisk will remove the gpt signatures since he said to treat it as mbr. I'm not sure that it will but I can't remember how to do it and I can't get the menu myself as I don't have a disk in this situation to test with :( [07:41] Jordan_U: i don't remember what the commmand was. can i just run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk'?

[07:45] ryan__: You're welcome. [07:49] Jordan_U: do i want to "convert the MBR to GPT form, use the GPT data, or create a blank GPT"?

[09:58] luckymurali: install just ubuntu -desktop package [09:58] in fact, it might be better to try and install xrandr and arandr together, find the missing dependencies, and then plop them in, with the recommends, at once. [09:58] guess i'll have to live without compositing then, but it just makes me feel SO stupid ... [09:59] jordan 3456 i did x11-xserver-utils and it says its already the newest version [09:59] zvacet, any procedures on the net ?? [09:59] yeah don't redo x11 [09:59] luckymurali: what do you mean?

When I installed 10.10 (when it came out) my wifi didn't work and a guy provided me with the Lucid driver and with a small hack that worked, until a while ago where I started having random disconnects, that got partially fixed by resetting my modem/router (upon booting I had to try 4x to connect for it to work), but yesterday evening I randomly got disconnected again and I can't seem to find a solu [10:41] tion now, I tried resetting my modem/router, I tried ConnMan instead of NetworkManager, I am currently on wired, which surprisingly works because of Wicd although I haven't launched it or made it auto-start. So, what should I do? [10:42] Tm_T: ah ok, so i should have executed apt-get clean, right? or is there any good reason for keeping that cache, apart from obvious performance improvements for apt? [10:42] Cosmo: Ok [10:42] larious: What is your problem with the EC226?

The EC226 should be recognized by the system out of the box. Plug the dongle once and type 'dmesg' in a console. The last 5-6 lines of dmesg should give you the info about your device and how it is recognized by ubuntu. [10:52] deuterium: after minimal install you just add what you really need [10:53] Sitting here with some text files, and need to find the file(s) that contain say 3-4 given words(in no given order, of course). How to do that in a smart way? All I can come up with right now is actually something with grep, like iterative searches with it. List filenames containing word 1->New search on those files for word 2, and so on.

[10:53] Slartibart: grep -r -e pattern1 -e pattern2 -e pattern3 /path/* [10:54] Cosmo: nvidia-current same as you removed [10:54] larious: The problem might be, that your sim card in the Huawei dongle is PIN protected. You might have to put this sim card into a phone and disable that PIN identification. That's all. The network-manager software doesn't give you the possibility to identify you with the PIN. --> Again, disable PIN on the sim card.

Everything was going fine, I was just wrestling with enabling wireless on ubuntu a little bit. After updating packages I restarted, and winxp no longer shows in grub. Just lubuntu twice, twice recovery, and two memtests. How can I return XP to the grub menu, or do I have something else wrong? [10:55] i have a question about ubuntu 10.04. i am used to windows but decided to give ubuntu 10.04 a try but the sound is all whack. my speakers r plugged in at the back of my pc and my speakers have a headphone jack. i can configure it on winxp using realtek HD audio but linux does not seem to have a similar configuration? [10:55] yuzodo: the guy that gave you the driver, did you get him from this room [10:55] larious, yeah I did [10:56] minimec: networkmanager has a pin-handling function [10:56] minimec: My device is not using PIN cos I do make use of it in window environment and it works without PIN, and this device is not universal that you can change sim card, this device is programmer with one network [10:57] zvacet: thanks for the pointers. i can't follow the synthetic approach as i already have a system, so i'm rather trying to shrink it down. but i have some ideas which programs i could remove and don't need (it's for software development only, so i don't need multimedia apps or games and such that are installed by default) [10:57] yuzodo: So what is the guy common ID [10:57] llutz_: Oh. Didn't know that... THX [10:57] larious, I can't remember lol, it was back in October '10 [10:58] yuzodo: nest time you need to keep record [10:58] anyone? [10:58] minimec: My device is not using PIN cos I do make use of it in window environment and it works without PIN, and this device is not universal that you can change sim card, this device is programmer with one network [10:58] llutz: can i ask question plz? [10:58] larious, I'll keep that in mind, but that won't fix my current issue right [10:59] hello [10:59] mena: yeah [10:59] yuzodo: cos you cant get him anymore [11:00] larious, or maybe it was an update which started to break it? [11:00] larious: Still. I do guess that the harware is working correctly. In my eyes it is a configuration problem. As you always trying to configure your device with wvdial, why don't you try to configure your device with the network-manager? use a Huawei E180 that way.

I am sure you are quite adept at copy and paste [11:02] ok brb i will load linux up [11:03] blachshirl : thanks [11:03] mena; yeah.thats no problem [11:04] juk, ok I installed it again and rebooted, it started in the text mode again and when I typed X it said Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) no drivers available [11:04] larious: I mean the APN wouldn't change on windows... So if you can configure the device with windows, you should be able to do the same under Linux. I don't see the problem.

[11:21] tombaugh: probably have to look into udev rules [11:21] my com is hanging when i try shutdown [11:21] ActionParsnip, u there? [11:22] minimec: that has done well. thank u. I renamed folder & opened it and now it is rescanning library [11:22] juk, when I typed X it said Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) no drivers available [11:23] Cosmo: mv or rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:23] can anyone else pls try and help me with my sound? [11:24] B9: Nice! ;) That would always be my first step if one of my software doesn't work as expected. The folders are normally in /home/yourname, /home/yourname/.config or /home/yourname/.local [11:24] grep -l -e word1 -e word2 * lists files with *either* word1 or word2 in them, right? [11:24] b0yce: What kind of card is it? [11:24] i get error when i try shut down my pc?? [11:24] what's up [11:25] the opposite of down [11:25] Slartibart: egrep "word1|word2" [11:25] soreau, how do i find it in ubuntu? [11:25] b0yce: lspci if its on the PCI bus [11:26] and where's that? i have only just loaded ubuntu on the cd. i am a noob at this [11:27] Cosmo: sucks, try manually going into /usr/src/nvidia-current-* ; and type: make module; make install [11:27] soreau: But that would make an OR condition, right? What if I have to find the files with say 4 given words in them, in any order? [11:27] i have problem? my computer is hanging when i try shutdown [11:28] minimec: stellar advice I will remember. does it matter what you rename it too? how does this work particular what does it do? I like to know what is going on behind the scene as well [11:28] Slartibart: You might have to write a small oneliner bash script depending on what you want to do exactly [11:28] there now I have my desktop back [11:29] cosmo_: compiz --replace and metacity --replace [11:29] cosmo_: one wm replaces the other [11:29] Slartibart: on the same line? [11:29] soreau: Thought so.. Thanks. [11:30] Slartibart: #bash if you need bash specific help [11:31] soreau: do you have that config removed, im not sure if it's needed by nvidia, mine in there [11:31] soreau, I dont have metacity installed only compiz it was nvidia drivers that caused it [11:32] B9: When you start a software for the first time, it will launch with system defaults (Sometimes they are stored in /etc, sometimes in /usr/share/). Afterwards the software will always start with your personal configuration stored in some .xy folder or .xyrc file in your /home/yourname directory. removing that folder or file will force the software to create a new personal config file starting with the system defaults. [11:32] juk: Right now, you probably dont have nvidia-commo installed, but your conf file is set to use the nvidia driver [11:33] juk: So either install the driver or use nouveau (which should be the default without a conf file) [11:33] people i own a laptop with ubuntu 10, 64 bit on it. people say they can reset my root password without my access [11:33] is this possible ? [11:33] welcom [11:33] if yes what should i do or learn to do to avoid this ? [11:33] ? [11:33] !noroot | raviepic3 [11:33] raviepic3: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [11:33] raviepic3: What people are telling you this? [11:34] welcom [11:34] raviepic3: if they have physical access to the machine they can do that sure (with any unencrypted OS) [11:34] soreau: no, i have nvidia enabled [11:34] juk: Do you have nvidia-common installed? [11:34] soreau, friends when i talk about linux vs windows [11:34] so since I screwed up that instalation what is the correct way to install the newest nvidia drivers? [11:34] i get error that my computer hangs when i shut-down it [11:34] soreau: yes [11:34] raviepic3: Id be willing to wager they dont know what theyre talking about [11:35] juk: And you still get the message no drivers when starting X? Try reinstalling it? [11:35] jrib, how to restrict this ? even if they have physical access to my machine they should not be in a position to do it ? [11:35] raviepic3: use encryption [11:35] soreau: nvidia acceleration works, just wondering if that config no needed anymore [11:35] jrib, any links to read more about it ? encrypt what ? where ? how ? [11:35] juk: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms [11:36] juk: You need an xorg.conf file to use a proprietary graphics driver [11:36] ребяяяяяяяяяяяятушке [11:36] ! ru | Boo1 [11:36] Boo1: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [11:36] у меня проблемка еще всплыла =) === denny_ is now known as denny [11:36] what? [11:36] soreau: why then you suggested to op to remove it? [11:36] juk: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfic to generate an xorg.conf (as soreau says) if your monitor is not reporting edid as it should [11:36] juk: If you didnt have nvidia installed and you just wanted to get into X, its an easy way [11:37] soreau, challenging them with a known vulnerability is a heavy risk to take, isnt it ! ? [11:37] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:37] raviepic3: Its not a known vulnerability [11:37] =/vulnerability/possibility/ [11:37] hi [11:37] what could the cause be of my laptop fan being on high permanently? Even when starting up from a cold laptop.. it's making a lot of noise. [11:37] ActionParsnip: I said rm or mv, not nvidia-xconfig [11:38] soreau, any idea where can i learn more about to avoid this ? [11:38] raviepic3: encrypt everything. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it to you. Personally, I only encrypt data that I wouldn't want people to obtain in case my laptop is stolen (my home). But if you are truly paranoid and don't mind the performance hit, go for your whole system. You have to decide if it's worth it to you. For most, it's probably not [11:38] to install the most recent nvidia drivers do I use the additional drivers app and choose current or what? [11:38] sougata: ah, OK [11:38] B9: The name of the config file is normally given by the software, so just changing the name to 'something' is normally enough. Some software might allow you to start with a given configuration file, like 'irssi --config=~/.irssi/myconfig' [11:38] raviepic3: google or ##linux [11:38] adax: Probably graphics driver driving the card carelessly [11:39] cosmo_: yes [11:39] !ppa [11:39] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [11:39] soreau but it happens as soon as i turn the laptop on.. before drivers are loaded. As soon as i press the power button the fan goes to super high [11:39] OK, so I've about had it with shoddy pulseaudio; now it's not letting me unmute. It starts out muted, I unmute. For a second or so, I'll hear some sound, and then it's gonna mute again. I can spam the unmute button, and then I can hear my audio choppily. WHAT THE …? Anyone knows what's going on? [11:39] jrib, from your words i understand he can reset the password and enter into my system but will not be able to take data if encrypted ?! but my question is cant be prevent the entry part itself ? [11:39] adax: Then it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu. Try ##hardware [11:40] Googling doesn't help. Alsa does. Why am I even keeping Pulseaudio again? [11:40] adimit: You can remove it [11:40] ! pulseaudio | adimit [11:40] adimit: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [11:40] and removal instructions [11:41] soreau: at which point everything starts to crash and burn, because Ubuntu is expecting pluse to actually be there (i.e. all the default applications.) [11:41] oh ok thanks [11:41] adimit: No one is forcing you to use ubuntu [11:41] raviepic3: you can set a grub password, make sure your laptop does not boot from anything but the hard drive, set a bios password, but none of this prevents your friend from removing the hard drive, accessing it, then putting it back in your laptop [11:41] yeah, I kinda dread having to reinstall my system, But that's where it's going... [11:41] So I figure, no one here knows the issue either? [11:42] to restart the x server do I need to do a full reboot or is there a command? [11:42] cosmo_: sudo service gdm restart [11:42] cosmo_: log out and re-log in. [11:42] raviepic3: Yea, bottom line is, if someone really wants to maliciously hack you, they will find a way. Better try to keep it in a place where no one can gain physical access [11:43] oh [11:43] but I dont think one can easily get your password from ubuntu [11:44] hey [11:45] does anybody know if it is possible to share my eth0 connection through the wifi network card in my cellphone, which is connected via usb?

[12:05] Wise_: Well, you want to pay attention to /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab and edit accordingly [12:05] Wise_: If there is a bootloader on the partition you want to copy, you have to handle that seperate, if you work with 'cp'.

[12:20] g++ dont run my application IS my problem [12:20] pokebear: man find, but thats rather intimidating. find /path/ -iname "*words*" will do a case-insenstive search for files in /path/ [12:20] pokebear: That should get you started with understanding how the switches for find work. [12:20] Abhijit from my knowledge of C++, you dont have your paths set to find the library [12:20] Abhijit: You have to use -L /path/to/qtlib [12:20] Abhijit ^^ [12:21] lesshaste: What card is it?

[12:25] Dr_Willis_TCL: single is used for recovery mode afaik [12:25] single = opens a root shell? or is that recovery. :) [12:25] soreau, Dr_Willis_TCL: yes, single is recovery mode [12:26] single = recovery then? but recovery also launches that recovery menu. [12:26] lesshaste: I dont want the output, I just wanted to know if it plays ok [12:26] soreau: plays fine :) [12:26] lesshaste: Try installing xorg-edgers and see if the problem goes away [12:26] Does anyone know a media player in Ubuntu that has output quality similar to iTunes? [12:26] is there some key combination to press during boot process to launch a menu with possible options for booting? i tried pressing esc but it had no effect [12:27] serpentologist: add the boot option: text and you will be a user in text mode, no X server will run [12:27] Hi, having a bit of trouble getting grub2 to work now that I've changed hard drives.

Ask in ##c++ for those questions. [12:29] Senjai: try a few, see which you lik. As I say, most of sound quality isn't the app. I suggest you grab pulseaudio mixer so you can tweak the sound [12:29] Senjai, no its not. [12:29] jrib: no, because then it will just get broken again when I update my kernel [12:29] see above serpentologist: [12:29] Senjai: sorry, wrong targer [12:29] Senjai, c++ is nothing to dith which library is where in my ubuntu [12:29] aCiD2: no it won't [12:29] Senjai: Yea, its probably pulseaudio being crappy, your sound card or audio drivers [12:29] aCiD2: the problem is with your existing entries [12:29] Abhijit Yes it does, those libraries are installed by qt or kde, not ubuntu [12:30] Senjai, do you have a pro sound card? [12:30] Abhijit They do not come with ubuntu, you have to replace them, or find out where they are. === pokebear is now known as pokegroup [12:30] coz_ Yes [12:30] Senjai, same here,,, which one? === pokegroup is now known as pokebear [12:30] ActionParsnip Ill check it out, deadbeef sounds cool [12:30] Senjai: its light and able :) [12:31] Dr_Willis_TCL: update-rc.d can be used or is reserved to package scripts? [12:31] deadbeef is kinda cool [12:31] coz_ SoundFX I think [12:31] Senjai, which manufacturer? [12:31] coz_ one sec let me open my sys info [12:31] coz_ (on my windows boot atm.) [12:31] What purpose serves a certain value of the environmant variable GNOME_KEYRING_PID? [12:31] Senjai, ah ok [12:31] Running update-grub within a chroot environment seems to have fixed this [12:32] Senjai, in ubuntu simply open alsamixer it should be listed there as well [12:32] bullgard: it is the unique process identifier [12:32] coz_ IDT High Def. [12:32] bullgard: used to identify the process providing the current keyring process. [12:32] coz_ its the one that comes with Dell XPS [12:32] is there a way to make notifications dissapear? [12:32] Fuchs: Thank you. [12:32] hey does anyone know how to start compiz on startup? ubuntu 10.04. everytime I restart ubuntu, compiz deactivates again [12:32] theres no cross on them in 10.04 [12:33] !compiz [12:33] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [12:33] bullgard: you can check it with `pidof` or pgrep [12:33] joeghi, im not sure if that command works with the new Upstart based services or not... [12:33] joeghi, it should work with the older sysv type services. [12:34] Senjai, seems the driver in windows for that particular card has given some issues as well... you could check in #alsa for compiling the alsa driver for that specifig card,,, I have to do that ,, espeicially on Lucid,, [12:34] Senjai, If you want full functionality that may be the way to go [12:35] coz_ alsa? [12:35] Senjai, yes the alsa sound driver [12:35] coz_ The reason im on windows is for good sound quality atm [12:35] coz_ want my music to play on my system properly [12:35] Senjai, it can be tweaked during compile. [12:35] Senjai: Then you need to install the right drivers [12:35] Ohdear [12:35] Senjai, pulseaudio may not support all features of that card [12:35] complicated [12:36] Senjai, not really for me the command is ,/configure --with-cards=layla24 --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes [12:36] coz_ with alsa? [12:36] I installed xorg and gnome-core, now I have problem mounting drives from nautilus as a user. Help. [12:37] romantic_rectum you can mount in terminal, but not nautilus? [12:37] Senjai, yes that would be the command "for my card" with the alsa driver ,, then the alsa libs and then the alsa firmware,,,not sure firmware would be needed on your card but you might have to do a bit of research [12:37] is there a good way to tell which firefox addons are slowing things down? [12:37] coz_ Didnt know about this, thanks for your help[ [12:37] coz_, do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess. === jesus is now known as Guest2372 [12:38] StrangeCharm, probably anything that involves logging, GUI, etc. [12:38] Senjai, I honestly don't think so, however, accessing unmounted partition from nautilus was never (with regular installations) a problem. I think I just need to set something. [12:38] romantic_rectum, you dual boot? [12:38] b0ot, the person here I would trust with script is soreau ,,:) [12:38] Senjai, Yes. [12:38] romantic_rectum, do you know what partition your windows machine is on [12:38] Senjai, Yes. [12:39] romantic_rectum, theres proberly some gvfs services you need. [12:39] romantic_rectum, like /dev/sda3? [12:39] Omg!!! Omg!! My first qt application runns successfully!!!! :-D [12:39] Senjai, i'm not totally clear what the logical extrapolation is from logging and gui [12:39] soreau, any ideas? [12:39] Dr_Willis_TCL, that may be it. [12:39] Senjai, Yes. [12:39] Abhijit, :) [12:39] :-) [12:39] I am trying to set-up IRSSI using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780 - however I can't get pass the "Automatically connect..." part, mkdir $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun doesn't work, nothing happens. The second line works, but I can't find it :P [12:39] romantic_rectum, go into terminal, type: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/DriveName/ -t ntfs [12:40] romantic_rectum where drivename is the drive name of your windows partition. [12:40] hello ubuntu chat [12:40] romantic_rectum first check if that works [12:40] pokebear, is there a .irssi/scripts directory? is there an autorun directroy in that dir? [12:40] b0ot: you can create a crontab script with line start of @reboot to start at boot, if you sudo crontab -e then it will be started in root with root privs [12:40] I was wondering if anyone could help me construct a bash script [12:40] Senjai, it works, already checked it, thou I am using root, not sudo. [12:40] There's no irssi-dir in home [12:40] TobalJackson, dozens of bash script guides there. [12:40] specifically, I'm trying to figure out if [12:40] pokebear, read it closely.. it says .irssi see the . ? [12:40] sacarlson, thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried that without sucesss. My script will call a program that segfaults [12:41] I can truncate a grep return with SED [12:41] pokebear, its a hidden directory. [12:41] romantic_rectum oh, your logged in as root? [12:41] Yes, but there's no such thing. lost+found, +user +Games [12:41] TobalJackson, grep patterh file | sed sedoptoions [12:41] b0ot: then add a sleep 30 or some time in your script or find what is needed to be running for it to work [12:41] if i do 'sudo blkid | grep -i NtFs' [12:41] Senjai, no, just on one of terminals. [12:41] It didn't create a new dir. Do I need the -pv attributes? Tried running with sudo, nothing happened either. [12:41] pokebear, your home direcotry is for your users.. You most likely dont have those dirs in your home directory. [12:41] and what I want to do is truncate the return to just the '/dev/sdb1' [12:42] pokebear, i think you need to spend an hr learning some bash basics.. [12:42] romantic_rectum, oh so when you try to mount through nautilus what happend === richard is now known as Guest48248 === Guest48248 is now known as richardfullmer [12:42] pokebear, you did NOT want to use sudo that would make the dir owned by root, [12:42] right now without truncating the return it looks like '/dev/sdb1: LABEL="HD E" ........blah blah' [12:42] b0ot: I asume you also provide complete path when you do anything in crontab [12:42] Senjai, I forgot to mention that it looks the same for ext4 partitions [12:42] Dr_Willis_TCL: I think so too! :) [12:42] sacarlson, I was under the impression that the env didn't change if it was called with crontab... is that not correct? [12:43] pokebear, also you may want to check out 'weechat' if you want a console based irc client. [12:43] is there a way to just capture the first 10 characters of a text return [12:43] stdout [12:43] b0ot: env is completely different so maybe create a source script to setup as needed [12:43] TobalJackson, awk, or sed can do that i recall. [12:43] Senjai, 'autentication is requited to mount this device' promps for password. [12:43] More newbie friendly? :) [12:43] herro, i can't get the unity launcher for maverick can't i? [12:43] pokebear, if you want newbie friendly.. get xchat. [12:43] right, I'm pretty sure one of them can too, i just don't know the terminology to earch for [12:43] hi. i've gave a 'chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www', but everytime i create there dir or file it's created with user priviledges (for example user:group, and i want it do be user:www-data). how can I do that? i want every file and dir to be created with user:www-data priviledges. === Katreyo is now known as Senjai [12:44] sacarlson, I guess what i'm asking is if I call something with crontab and the script has a sleep 30, even after the script is called the env is still different than the normal env because it was called with crontab isn't it? [12:44] Sorry [12:44] that was weird [12:44] I like a challenge, I don't mind getting into problems. It's part of the learning process. :P [12:44] TobalJackson, theres dozens of ;'quick awk' script and 'quick sed' examples out there on the web. i always have to look stuff up when i use them. dont use them a lotl [12:44] krokop: use Access Control Lists (man setfacl; man getfacl; note you need to add the "acl" option to the partition in fstab) [12:44] I'll try them both out. Thanks [12:44] pokebear, spend the time learning some bash first. :) [12:44] Dr_Willis_TCL: what terms should I search for? Truncate stdout with awk|sed? [12:44] romantic_rectum are you aware your name is romantic rectum/ [12:45] TobalJackson, awk/sed oneliners proberly will tgive pages of quick examples. [12:45] sejo, ronnie's_rectum was taken. [12:45] romantic_rectum disturbing lol [12:45] jrib: can umask do this? [12:45] hmm, ok thanks, I'll try searching [12:45] b0ot: yes the env is different at start and at end it makes no difference the sesion is closed [12:46] Dr_Willis_TCL: TCL? [12:46] sacarlson, I already set my $PATH and $TERM variables... what other ones could be causing the problem [12:46] krokop: no. The alternative to using Access Control Lists is to setgid /var/www, make the group www-data, and make sure umask for users is 002. But this won't work on subdirectories of /var/www/ automatically. [12:46] b0ot: Make sure to use absolute paths [12:47] soreau, for which part? [12:48] b0ot: use absolute paths to any programs or scripts you are referencing [12:48] soreau, my scripts start, they just segfault when they call a program, but the program itself starts so I don't think it is a path issue. (I could be mistaken) [12:48] b0ot: I'm not sure you need to look inside the scripts you run to see what env values it uses. maybe just copy the env you know it works in and import that into the cron sesion if needed [12:48] b0ot: If your script is segfaulting, that sounds like more of a personal problem :P [12:48] hello there have ubuntu server installed on virtual box but have limited the hard disk space to 100gig fixed is there anyway of having this increased [12:48] soreau, do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess. [12:49] vesh: Ask in #vbox [12:49] soreau, so I know the program itself works, just not the way that cron and it's related programs start it [12:49] soreau: I guess b0ot must have some custom program that uses some custom libs and when run in cron it must run the wrong lib? [12:49] b0ot: I have no idea what is segfaulting for you or why [12:50] sacarlson: no idea [12:50] soreau, on Tiny Core Linux right now. :) [12:50] Dr_Willis_TCL: oh neat [12:50] ah^^ [12:50] soreau, any ideas on other ways I could start the script? [12:50] b0ot: You pretty much named them all [12:51] :( [12:51] b0ot: maybe your program needs an xserver? [12:51] b0ot: Maybe it would help to explain more exactly what you are trying to do [12:51] b0ot, what is this thing doing exdactly? rc.local is about far into the boot process as it gets.. [12:52] sacarlson, soreau Dr_Willis_TCL I have a script that simply calls a program which was supplied by my mpegencoder vendor that turns on my mpegencoder and streams the video locally via rtp to port 7070 [12:53] b0ot, its not got a X GUI interface? text only app? === ruan_ is now known as ruan [12:53] text only, no interaction with it (it does output text letting you know details) but does not require input === ruan is now known as Guest75009 [12:53] Dr_Willis_TCL: on this page http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.genprogc/doc/genprogc/manip_strings_sed.htm do you think I can use the \d command to somehow capture the first 10 characters of each line? === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [12:54] Dr_Willis_TCL, Some people found solution to coresponding problem with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350526&page=2 ,however, I don't have that files. You mentioned I may need to install something. [12:54] TobalJackson, theres proberly a dozen ways to get the first 10 characters from a line. You could just use awk/sed and a regular expression also. to match 10 characters [12:54] romantic_rectum, i dont even remember what your problem is/was :) [12:55] b0ot: did you try the delay start of a few minits or whatever time you nomaly take to start in in a terminal. I guess if your network is slow to get started is the only thing I see that might cause a problem [12:55] If I could change the program to be able to run at the userlevel would starting the script with startup applications allow it to have the same env as if it I started it normally in terminal after ubuntu loaded? I have also attempted to launch the script with screen? [12:55] Dr_Willis_TCL, : ) same as in thread. Nautilus (?) request authentication during mount. [12:56] sacarlson, I could try but the computer boots fairly quickly (ssd) [12:56] b0ot: Have you tried putting a delay to start the script until the system is all the way up? [12:56] I will go give it a try. I have to go for now. Thank you very much for your suggestions soreau Dr_Willis_TCL sacarlson. I will let you know how it goes. [12:57] romantic_rectum, i dont bother with building minimal gnome builds. :) i tossed all my older machines. [12:58] hello all, I accidentally bind the delete key to a different shortcut, however, when I disabled the shortcut, the delete key still doesn't work [12:58] hi everyone [12:58] Any ideas how I can fix this? [12:58] erez: How did you bind it? [12:58] is there any software you can advise us just like notepad++ ? [12:58] System> Preference> Keyboard Shortcuts [12:59] I mistook it for backspace to clear a key [12:59] erez: could you bind DEL to DEL ? [12:59] koray, theres dozens of text editors out there. Personally I perfer geany over notepad++ [12:59] koray: gedit [12:59] Dr_Willis_TCL++ [13:00] ActionParsnip: that would be something :) [13:00] but how [13:00] yesssss [13:00] i got it [13:00] sudo blkid grep -i nTfS | cut -c 1-9 [13:00] thats how most keys do the binding stuff.. click on the bind button.. select the key... [13:00] sudo blkid | grep -i nTfS | cut -c 1-9 [13:01] cut -c 1-9 captures first 10 characters [13:01] koray, Gnome has Gedit which is an excellent editor, KDE has Kate, which is even better [13:01] Dr_Willis_TCL, in keyboard shortcuts? [13:01] thanks friends [13:02] erez, yes. I think so. [13:03] Im not in gnome so cant check [13:03] Dr_Willis_TCL, what's the "delete" action called?

[13:04] erez: not sure, not something I do, but it makes sense [13:05] Dr_Willis_TCL, I just meant remove it from startup [13:05] cosmo_, try it and see.. shouldent hurt anything. [13:05] if you are not going to use it.. :) [13:05] It proberly just checks to see if its enabled [13:06] Dr_Willis_TCL: proberly? lol === twn39 is now known as tangweinan [13:06] the tool has settings to disable it.. so it sees if its set to allow or not.. you are nog really going to notice much differance if you remvoe the entry i imagien.

How can I reinstall just the kernel and relevant packages from a bootable install USB stick with the server install iso on it? [13:16] secretary_linux what a well formed question [13:16] secretary_linux so rare lol [13:16] secretary_linux: Probably need to chroot into the filesystem [13:17] Senjai: thanks, I find that when I'm here not asking questions, I'm usually saying "please expand on what you mean" [13:17] coz_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2ZsoYWwJA&feature=related [13:17] secretary_linux, :) [13:17] Rabbitbunny, checking [13:17] soreau: yes that sounds right to me. the thing is, I haven't done this without some kind of documentation or safety net [13:17] secretary_linux, chroot the local filesystem as soreau said [13:17] hi, pls, how to disable saned? I have no link in rc2.d, no *.conf in /etc/init. there is only saned in /etc/default, with RUN=no.thanks!

I closed firefox, closed the tab in chromium, opened a new tab. now a video is playing. [13:26] gartral: Compiz is only as slow as your graphics hardware/driver combo [13:26] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS whatever Compiz, Fusion, etc. comes with it [13:26] Senjai, it's System> Preferences> Keyboard Shortcuts [13:26] soreau: ok mr. killjoy.

[13:29] ircuser: I dont know what wobbly effect you are talking about but my guess is that you probably have something bound to Button1 in ccsm. Try disabling compiz by setting None in sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects tab or run metacity --replace from Alt+F2 run dialog [13:29] haven't tried Radeon's proprietary drivers tho [13:29] krokop, look here maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1284267 [13:29] krokop: black electrical tape [13:29] krokop, not sure if that is effective or not === Guest75009 is now known as ruan [13:31] coz_: any way too make lights come on?

[13:34] coz_: like a "mute" button that's replaced F7, it has a light. [13:34] gardar, ah ,,, mmm then I am at a loss with th at... seems you may have to do personal searching on that or hopefully someone has had some experience with it,,, you could try ##linux channel .. maybe someone there has had to deal with this :) [13:35] coz_: gardar is getting mad.. [13:35] gardar, sorry guy ,, bad tab habits [13:35] gartral, of course that was for you :-) [13:35] ;_; [13:35] lol [13:36] coz_: btw my hardware is a CR-48 === Guest50072 is now known as issyl9 === issyl9 is now known as issyl0 [13:36] is grub needed on a system with only one OS?

[13:37] anybody can give a help installing alfa awus036h,alfa awus036nh and alfa awus051nh on ubuntu 10.10 [13:37] Pici, ah ok cool [13:37] Grexeo: NO [13:37] jblz: likely empty [13:38] jblz: mine outputs nothing here [13:38] linux_user, i'm sure it's possible. perhaps ask in knoppix how they did it, or look around for the config files they used? [13:38] when I try to chroot my root filesystem from liveusb, I get the error messsage "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': Exec format error" -- both when using the semi-GUI chroot option and typing it in manually. what gives? [13:38] jblz, its empty [13:38] jrib, ActionParsnip thank you [13:38] linux_user, thank you [13:38] keyzs: are they wireless adapters? [13:38] yes [13:39] secretary_linux: sudo chroot /bin/bash [13:39] hmmm, lucid must have it's custom search-path built into python [13:39] keyzs: then have them connected and run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the chips they use and can find guides based on that [13:39] keyzs, thanks - just to clarify, I am reinstalling Ubuntu on a new drive, but still have my old drive connected, which set up has detected. I am now being asked: "Install the GRUB bootloader to the Master Boot Record (MBR)?", but I will be disconnecting the old drive after installation. Should I choose "no"? [13:39] llutz: same error except with bash instead of sh [13:39] jblz, thank you too [13:39] secretary_linux: mix 32/64 bit? [13:40] Grexeo: no, you should choose yes [13:40] okay, could some kind lucid user run: "python -c 'import sys; print "\n".join(sys.path)'" from the terminal, and post the output to a pastebin? [13:40] secretary_linux: 32bit live cd to chroot into 64bit-installation or vice versa? [13:40] llutz: that might be the problem. thanks [13:40] looks like the liveusb reports i686 so you are correct. thanks a bunch... [13:40] that won't attack your system, it just prints the working path of a vivified python environment [13:40] gartral, will I need to remove the GRUB entry for my old drive once I have disconnected it? [13:41] I've got some problems with network manager applet. Previously I was using cli to connect, but, now I installed glorious gnome-core! Missing network manager on panel. Notification area in it's place. Once it shown itself for a secound but was inactive. Strange. How to fix it? [13:41] that's the last favor, i promise :) [13:41] Grexeo: now that im not too sure, you may have too setup the ordering so that the first drive chainloads the second.. [13:41] keyzs: if they are usb based then: lsusb will help ID them too. The make and model is not very useful to u [13:41] I have a harddrive with an ubuntu install on it, I can mount the harddrive via usb docking station to my windows computer, I want to create a disk image of the linux hdd... any idea what software would be appropriate for this? [13:42] Wise_: I'd boot to a liveCD and use partimage [13:42] ActionParsnip: i´m gonna check it, my ubuntu vm is rebooting [13:42] Wise_: yea, make a live USB disk, or use a vm, and make the image with dd [13:42] guys I have to break here,,, be back in a bit [13:43] btw, where can I find the config file for nautilus ? [13:43] keyzs: then you will ALSO need to configure usb access in whatever virtualization technology you have used [13:44] ActionParsnip: i know, action wich one of those is more compatible ? besides 36h [13:45] Hi, can we overwrite a function defined in another file? I mean rewrite a function that has a similar name [13:45] Wise_ you can use dd too [13:45] Hi how can I autostart root process? [13:45] keyzs: we have no way of knowing until you find out the chip [13:45] '~$ pgrep gnome-keyring-daemon' does not produce any output. Why does the output of '~$ pgrep gnome' and '~$ pgrep keyring' include the proper PID but '~$ pgrep daemon' not? [13:45] ok [13:45] Wise_, i love clonezilla for that kind of thing [13:46] Grav: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line [13:46] fairuz: typically yes, its called overloading or redefining [13:46] keyzs: what is printe don the plastic case doesn't change what is insside [13:46] acicula: it's possible in plain C? [13:46] Wise_, it's it's own "distro", a bootable cd that can backup a partition or HD - i use it a lot [13:46] Grav: the boot process starts daemons as root unless you specify otherwise [13:47] ActionParsnip: Ok i added there. Thanks [13:47] Wise_, if you use it, make sure you use the "image" based option (you'll know what i'm talking about if you boot it) [13:47] okay, could some kind lucid user run: "python -c 'import sys; print "\n".join(sys.path)'" from the terminal, and post the output to a pastebin? === kangjing is now known as gfs [13:48] I have 2 say, ubuntu has done it again, this is my tiny eeepc with a full blown 10.10 with compiz, Thanks Ubuntu Great job. http://imagebin.org/142859 [13:48] jblz; ah sounds good, so it'll let me access the fat/ntfs partitions on my win computer without problem then I guess? [13:48] fairuz: C doesnt do function overloading because it doesnt do inheritence [13:48] yes [13:48] Wise_, you chose a partition to store to, then the target partition to back up [13:48] acicula: so there is no way then. =) [13:49] Wise_, it can store/copy just about any filesystem imaginable [13:49] is it possible to connect to my computer with my phone(nokia smartphone) and access a console? [13:49] ok, have a great day folks. time to go 2 work. [13:49] ruan- you need to run a ssh server on the box you want to connect to [13:50] jblz; so disk images are made per-partition? you can't sort of get an image of an entire hdd with all different partitions et.c.? [13:50] ruan: use a ssh-client on the phone [13:50] ruan, assuming you have a ssh terminal on the phone [13:50] hmm [13:50] where can i get a ssh terminal for my phone then? [13:50] Wise_, you can choose either [13:50] ruan: http://www.xk72.com/midpssh/ [13:50] hi [13:50] Wise_, full disk or particular partitions [13:51] hehe ok [13:51] looks like it'll work [13:51] ruan: works for me [13:52] Hi [13:52] first i need to get that phone's internet working :/ [13:52] i really don't want to install lucid just to get the sys.path... i've been helpful to others... could someone run: "python -c 'import sys; print "\n".join(sys.path)'" from the terminal, and post the output to a pastebin? [13:53] hmm, maybe i can find an old cd somewhere [13:53] hi, I've problems with grub, I would like to install lilo as an alternative, but it has problems with the uuid in fstab. is lilo safe to use and easy to set up? [13:53] on my 64 bit 10.10 I have a really slow connection to some hosts caused by tcp window scale(which does not scale at all). My coworker does not experience the same issue running ubuntu 10.10 32bit [13:54] Do anybody noticed the same behaviour? [13:54] jblz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/580576/ [13:54] jblz: is my output [13:55] jblz: im not on lucid though [13:56] johnny === Johnny is now known as Guest42429 [13:56] vidva: eh no its not [13:57] antonio_: does the connection actually slow to a crawl? [13:57] '~$ pgrep gnome-keyring-daemon' does not produce any output. Why does the output of '~$ pgrep gnome' and '~$ pgrep keyring' include the proper PID but '~$ pgrep daemon' not? [13:57] ruan, thank you. i'll see if i can use that [13:57] antonio_: or even stop completely? [13:57] hey, I wondered if there was any known reason that there's no documentation for getting solr running from the packages from apt [13:57] … every single bit of documentation online talks about building from source [13:58] acicula: just slowing down, using a very small window [13:58] antonio_: sysctl -w "net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0 turns it off [13:58] rats, i can tell that's not the same as lucid [13:58] how do i start the openssh-server? running it in terminal returns unknown command [13:58] acicula: yes disabling window scaling solves [13:58] hello [13:58] acicula: but why is working fine [13:58] acicula: on a 32 bit version [13:58] ?? === skiphuffman_ is now known as skiphuffman [13:59] ruan, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html [13:59] antonio_: dont know [13:59] 6.06? lol [13:59] ok i'll try it [14:00] ruan: sudo service ssh start [14:00] the sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart shoudl be the same [14:00] i'll shut up now [14:01] do i _have_ to configure it? [14:01] acicula: from 64bit network dump I see a too high value for tcp window size, maybe a bug? I can reproduce the issue [14:01] codebeaker: maybe because it sees little use, or because configuration is similar wether you install from source or apt? [14:03] acicula: regardless, it's difficult to get started for someone who never did it befoer… none of the ubuntu paths patch anything like the source installs [14:03] codebeaker: yeah packaging ussually breaks up the package in /etc /var and /usr sections [14:03] ok it works.. sshed to myself [14:03] acicula: roger that - but I'm missing a big piece of how to tell jetty about solr… which is odd, since I installed solr-jetty [14:04] codebeaker: not all software that is packaged comes with extensive documentation, if you use a niche application theres a lot of researching involved [14:04] sure… [14:04] Anyone having problems with flash in Firefox?

[14:07] mamat i think its HAL [14:08] gfs: the editing of login window is very limited in latest ubuntu releases.. you can change the wallpaper and window theme and coloer [14:08] color [14:08] !hal [14:08] hal is in the process of being deprecated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [14:08] jatt: are you using the one installed via hardware drivers? [14:08] !automount [14:08] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [14:09] i'll try it . thank [14:09] nope I downloaded it from the ati/amd site (ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run) [14:09] h [14:09] here the radeon driver is much smoother and faster [14:09] ruan: I am going to try Flash-Aid plugin [14:09] hello, I'm still completely at a loss wrt the delete key issue [14:09] I guess open source beats closed source again [14:09] hi all [14:09] years ago the proprietary drivers (at least for nvidia) were much better than the open source ones [14:10] (accidentally bind the delete key to a different shortcut, when I disabled the shortcut, the delete key still doesn't work, no idea how to bind it to delete) [14:10] even at 3d? [14:10] jatt: well the binary drivers bench much higher then the open source versions [14:10] acicula: already googled, I have no router, I experience the same problem when connecting from different network [14:10] jatt: if you are having stability problems try the packaged binary ati drivers? [14:10] antonio_: are you connecting to the same host every time? [14:10] yes [14:10] is it possible to tell hal to automount /media/documents/user when user is logged in? [14:11] acicula: yes... [14:11] antonio_: try connecting to a node on another network [14:11] acicula: you mean the ones in the repositories? [14:11] jatt: correct [14:11] acicula: works fine [14:11] acicula: in the ubuntu repositories [14:11] ok will give it a try [14:11] !gvfs [14:11] jatt: yes, just using the .run files from the ati site may give you problems, even if you install properly by making deb files from the .run files [14:12] acicula: no problems connecting to other hosts or connecting to that same host using a 32bit version [14:12] yes, those run files are a nightmare, it was a nightmare to uninstall too [14:12] I was lucky and could get my xorg back :) === Guest96338 is now known as DarkDevil [14:12] jatt: the .run has a cool toggle that lets you make deb files straight from the .run file === DarkDevil is now known as Guest91182 [14:13] can anyone tell me how to establish a NTML connection to an exchange server in order to get calendar entries with SOAP and PHP?

But it looks like a a minor problem to solve -to me???????????????????????? [14:20] acicula - just changing the instructions in the boot up file or something??????????????????????????? [14:20] Pumpkin-: yes I initially suspected that the issue was caused by a security device on the network manipulating the packet but why does not affect 32 bit clients? [14:20] n2i as it says that the error is not fatal to X you can ignore it [14:21] timmybobcat14: 20 question marks in a row are 19 too much.

[14:30] Curly_Q: /etc/resolv.conf is empty [14:30] Push in all the cables. [14:31] nsahoo: consider checking /etc/udev/rules.d/x....persistant-net.rules just to make sure [14:31] ok next problem: can anyone help me decipher the /etc/fstab file? [14:31] noob in need of help. im trying to change how much swap is used , i use this "sudo sysctl -a|grep swappiness" and get errors of "error: "Invalid argument" reading key "fs.binfmt_misc.register" [14:31] vm.swappiness = 0 [14:31] error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush' [14:31] error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.route.flush' [14:31] " can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it [14:31] C3D: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:31] Nsahoo, you need to backtrack what you did to get to this situation if you changed any configurations then. I was thinking from a Hardware Layer 1 viewpoint. [14:31] how do I disable ubuntu's default behavior to disallow me to tab filenames to any command given? for instance, ls /et completes /etc/, sysctl -p /et does not. [14:31] very annoying behavior. [14:32] I removed bash-completion === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [14:32] hello channel. hows every1 doing today ? [14:32] Good Kikz, what's up? [14:32] mha, the bash completion stuff has entries for specific commands.. ive never noticed that behaivor. [14:32] If I paste my /etc/fstab file onto the http paste ubuntu com site can anyone help me see where my log in boot in problem is? [14:33] Curly_Q: I was away. I could connect for one day and it was gone after that. I didn't change anything. No one has access to this machine [14:33] Dr_Willis_TCL: try typing sysctl -p /et [14:33] Greets to Dr Willis. :) [14:33] not too bad curly.. whats every1 talkign about [14:33] Curly_Q: how would you see a working nic with "ping localhost"? lo(opback device is part of the ip-stack and has nothing to do with a physical NIC) [14:33] mha, im not on ubuntu right now. [14:33] nsahoo: is that a dualboot box? [14:33] Dr_Willis_TCL: aha. it'll just stand there and look stupid. :] [14:33] mha, given how good the bash completion is in ubuntu. File a bug report. they may fix that. [14:33] Dr_Willis_TCL: anyhow. noticed that it was some /etc/bash_completion* stuff left behind. A kind rm -rf fixed the problem. [14:33] Nsahoo, where are you from? It maybe because of the Japan Earthquake. Lots of networks are down right now. [14:33] Dr_Willis_TCL: I rather just get rid of the problem. :) [14:34] Curly_Q: no. I am in Pennsylvania. [14:34] Curly_Q: in a university [14:34] LLutz, if you can ping the localhost the NIC card is working. [14:34] It is the first step in troubleshooting. [14:34] Dr_Willis_TCL: I actually hate it. if I have a mounted partition on /mnt/something, and only /mnt/else is in /etc/fstab, the tab completion will autocomplete /mnt/something on umount /mn [14:34] Curly_Q: other machines are working. [14:34] mha, thers proberly some key combo for bash that makes it do what you wanted. Ive not read the bash completion guides/docs in a long time. but i recall there being ways to do that. [14:34] Curly_Q: ping localhost even works without any nic [14:35] Dr_Willis_TCL: sorry. /mnt/else will be completed course. [14:35] Nsahoo, go to the literal machine and see if it is turned on or unplugged. [14:35] mha, cant say ive ever noticed the issue. [14:35] Dr_Willis_TCL: try it too... [14:35] :D [14:35] file another bug. [14:35] rm -R problem. [14:35] :) [14:35] timmybobcat14: Read 'man mount'. [14:35] does any 1 knows if theres a local channel for chicago ? [14:35] and as i said. theres probelry some combo-tab that makes it go the other way. [14:35] Curly_Q: I am in front of the machine. checking different configurations now. Perhaps I should put the live CD in and see if that works [14:36] llutz, that was the first step I mentioned and the second was ifconfig -a to see if the NIC address was available. [14:36] I dont even have a browser handy to lookup 'bash completion guide' :) [14:36] sometimes this place is just way too busy [14:36] Dr_Willis_TCL: hehe [14:36] Curly_Q: where would be the log files if there are any [14:36] zBBL off to the store. [14:37] Using tiny core linux to copy some files from one usb to another.. Ive noticed SLOW usb speeds on this one hard drive.. but an identical hd was faster.. in tiny core linux.. it was slow.. but now its sped up.. not sure whats going on with this thing.. :) [14:37] Dr_Willis_TCL: I got tired of bug filing for stuff that's apparently not adequately tested. which does not consider needs. if I can just work around it. and especially if I see no other benefit of the "feature" [14:37] Nsahoo is the computer you are referring to the one you are on right now? [14:37] Dr_Willis_TCL: I am sure that plenty however find it awesome :) [14:37] Curly_Q: not chatting from it, but, it is infront of me now [14:37] if i ssh to 127.0.0.1 it connects, but if i ssh to my real IP address it says connection refused, why? [14:37] OK. [14:38] Can you ping www.cnn.com ? What do you get? [14:38] i've tried my hostname IP and my IP from whatsmyip.org [14:38] ruan: netstat -tulpen|grep 22 [14:38] what should i look for, llutz ? [14:39] ruan: something like ".... 0 0.0.0.0:22...." [14:39] Instead ping anthony.freenode.net [14:39] i see that [14:39] kikz: /join #ubuntu-us-oh [14:39] i'll pastebin it [14:39] ruan: ah you try to ssh from the local machine? needs nat-loopback being enabled [14:40] I seem to have a mounting problem that stops me opening ubuntu-when I reach the splash screen I get this message:"The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present. [14:40] http://pastebin.com/jFg8nFMw [14:40] nat-loopback? [14:41] ruan: you are using a router? [14:41] yes [14:41] Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery" [14:41] ruan: the router should have an option to enable nat-loopback. thats needed to access your WAN-ip from LAN [14:41] is rtorrent the fastest bittorrent client? [14:41] !best | mynameisdeleted [14:41] mynameisdeleted: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:41] as its based on c and has least overhead and memory use? [14:42] llutz: im unable to access my router :/ my isp locked it [14:42] vuze is horrible for mem use [14:42] ruan: change isp [14:42] llutz: there is no other [14:42] rtorrent will be as fast as any other? [14:42] on a high end system(12 core 3-4 ghz) [14:42] with 12GB ram [14:42] or more [14:43] If I press S I can log in but then I get these two error messages and that is as far as I can go. I then have to reboot: the messages are:"Could not update ICE Authority file /home/myname/.ICEauthority" [14:43] There is a problem with the configuration service (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfpsanity-check-2 exited with status 256) [14:43] other spec is gigabit ethernet to desktop that has speed-tested at 480mbps [14:43] ruan: but to access your local pc from WAN you also need access to the router, for setting up portforwarding [14:44] so chroot from usb install stick is still saying there is no /bin/sh, despite that there is a /bin/sh present from the running install image, as well as a /target/bin/sh - how can I troubleshoot this? [14:44] I'll benchmark against vuze for a linux downlaod [14:44] shoudl maybe get 10MB/s instead of just over 4 [14:44] I have pasted my /etc/fstab file here:http://paste.ubuntu.com/580587/ [14:44] Nsahoo, before you change any files or configurations always first check the hardware to see if the cables were tampered with. Perhaps a circuit breaker or something. Never rule out the obvious. [14:44] torrent is also limited by drive speed so dling to solid state or raid may speed it up too [14:44] hello, I was hoping somebody would be able to help me with an issue i'm having, i've got a database (contacts list) which i've built up in evolution i now need to share it with other people in the company, how do i go about doing that? webDAV, LDAP server? which is easyest? [14:45] I'm not sure if ti does for sure on a system wiht 10+GB ram === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [14:46] hrm [14:46] i can't seem to find any documentation on how to program Ubuntu. [14:46] for windows, there's tons of documentation on the windows api [14:46] not so much for the "ubuntu api" [14:47] i'm not so sure Posix is what i want. [14:47] dogarrhea: could you define what you mean by "how to program ubuntu"? [14:47] dogarrhea: what do you want to program exactly? [14:47] Nsahoo, when I teach A+ classes, I deliberately use crossover cables to make the students think and learn to always check hardware first. [14:47] try maybe linux/debian api? [14:47] seems to be a lot less cpu [14:47] Curly_Q: very nice trick :) [14:47] I want to program the mouse [14:47] :) [14:47] dogarrhea: there is a lot of documentation for ubuntu [14:47] and scrape the screen [14:47] there is no ubuntu api to program the mouse [14:48] then what is there? [14:48] When I reach the splash screen I get this message: [14:48] "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present. [14:48] Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery" [14:48] If I chose to press S I can log in but then I get theses 2 messages and have to reboot: [14:48] "Could not update ICE Authority file /home/myname/.ICEauthority" [14:48] timmybobcat14: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:48] There is a problem with the configuration service (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfpsanity-check-2 exited with status 256) [14:48] and faster download speed [14:48] Curly_Q: :) I pushed the cables in. let me check if the router is at fault [14:48] not much less cpu now though at 8.3MB/s [14:48] but tahts about double the download speeed of vuze [14:48] now 9.1MB/s [14:48] timmybobcat14: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please [14:49] Nsahoo, reboot the router too. If the router or MODEM has batteries unplug the batteries for about 20 seconds. Then put them back. [14:49] so i am not allowed to control the mouse programatically? [14:49] yes you are [14:49] Any ideas on how to have a shared contacts list in evolution, so that other evolution users have access to the same list and can add/delete & edit the contacts? [14:50] is it normal for ping to my own(outside) ip to be average 142 ms? [14:50] seems like every forum response is just so dumb.. "i am not familiar with shell scripting but i think you can do this with shell scripting in bash" <-- THIS DOES NOT CONTROL THE MOUSE [14:50] original question is how to create mouse clicks and mouse moves.. [14:50] is there a multithreaded rtorrent maybe that can utilize more than 1 core that might run faster if I have solid state and 10+GB ram? [14:50] read a book about how to write linux kernel drivers [14:50] dogarrhea: i suspect "mouse macros" may be the search terms you'd want [14:50] which package has the radeon driver? [14:50] there is one freely available [14:50] Ruan, try http://www.dslreports.com They have a test page to see the speed of your connection. [14:50] jatt: a driver does not need to be written to make a macro [14:51] Curly_Q: i mean a ping to myself [14:51] maco, i also need to scrape the screen [14:51] what? [14:51] Sure you can ping your own ip address. Also a tracert. [14:51] aka, take screenshots and read pixels [14:51] Curly_Q: i know the speed of my connection, im wondering why pings take so long [14:51] mynameisdeleted why should it?? you're downloading.... [14:51] I am really going up a wall trying to chroot my broken system from installer pendrive. I thought maybe the problem was that the installer didn't set up a /dev/pts for the chroot but that didn't solve it -- still getting /bin/sh not found (or the same with other shells which also exist). I know I don't have anything new so I'm really hoping someone can give me something to try so I can get some leads here :/ [14:51] dogarrhea: read pixels? not just hook into the at-spi api that lets screenreaders for the blind work? [14:51] and it's not really a macro driven program its an artificial intelligence program [14:52] mynameisdeleted: Run a second instance of the torrent daemon. This will be quicker and easier than changing process threading. [14:52] troll alert [14:52] Ruan post it on pastebin the results. [14:52] Curly_Q: ok [14:52] /ignore dogarrhea [14:52] jatt: stop being intentionally provocative, please [14:52] gpodder what is this? http://picpaste.com/9e4769c8566bdabb50d2c18d5f7f46aa.png [14:53] Used GParted to change a USB drive to ext, tried to change it back to NTFS with +boot but windows won't recognize it.. is there some other flag / option i'm missing? [14:53] wow, i got packet loss when i pinged myself [14:53] dogarrhea: the thing that the mouse and screen drawing are handled by is Xorg. try looking at its API [14:53] can someone help me with a bash script [14:53] hehe [14:53] well, didn't convert perse, deleted old partition, made a new ntfs one [14:53] http://cl1p.net/TobalJackson I have a script typed out here [14:53] this is either not my ip address, or something's definitely wrong [14:53] ok good. now i can get somewhere [14:53] ok [14:54] and in the Commnents I've put what my problem is, I cant get the variables defined by drive$count to equal the list variable [14:54] I have a problem when I try to log in: I have pasted the problem in full (not allow to paste it here apparently). Would be most grateful if a ubuntu expert would take look at it:http://paste.ubuntu.com/580600/ [14:55] I have a problem when I try to log in: I have pasted the problem in full (not allow to paste it here apparently).

[14:57] Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery" [14:57] Ruan are you on a University Network? [14:57] Live CDs can be read in Windows, right? [14:57] is there an easy way to fire up a vpn connection created with th network manager from the console? [14:57] if i make an ext 4 bigger do i have to make the swap file bigger? [14:57] timmybobcat14: Reboot this computer and hold the left shift key so that you get the Grub boot menu. Choose the (recovery) option. Choose "root prompt with networking". [14:57] how can I enable compositing with the radeon driver? [14:58] and probably magik++ for the screen scraping [14:58] skutr34: no [14:58] serpentologist: install the network manager cli client [14:58] llutz: ok [14:58] maco, thanks [14:59] llutz: i want to shrink my windows partition to give some more space to linux but idk how much i should give [14:59] dajhorn-what happens when I do that? === ogra is now known as Guest56191 [14:59] timmybobcat14: That is the recovery console, where you can fix the problem. === Guest56191 is now known as ogra_ [14:59] oh.. worked it out [14:59] great :) [14:59] dajhorn-how do I fix the problem? [14:59] asdasdasd [14:59] timmybobcat14: On the broken computer as the root user, run `umount /home` and then run `fsck -v -f /dev/sdb7`.

[15:00] agarrame el zanguango [15:00] timmybobcat14: Watch the output of fsck for warnings and errors. If the filesystem is broken, then it will ask you scary questions. [15:00] timmybobcat14: Yes. [15:00] hola [15:01] maco, could you tell me the package name? [15:01] soi el tego [15:01] !es | zbk alumno__ [15:01] zbk alumno__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [15:01] aksdjaksdjasdkjasdjkasd [15:01] asdbjasdbnasdbnasdbasd [15:01] dajhorn-ok thank you I will do what suggested and hope it works. [15:02] dajhorn-"scary questions"? [15:02] Skutr34, I dont' think it is a good idea to shrink Windows partitions. You may lose data in the process. Windows uses the FAT File Allocation Table to keep track of the disk space and other things. [15:02] timmybobcat14: After you do the filesystem check, the next step is to `mount /home` and double-check that the $HOME directory exists and that permissions are correct. [15:02] Curly_Q: look at it like this, skutr34 might get lucky and lose windows altogether ;) [15:02] Linux LiveCDs can be read in Windows as data folders [assuming they're formatted in FAT32 or some other readable fs], right? [15:02] lol [15:02] timmybobcat14: Questions like "are you really really sure? you can't go back". [15:02] serpentologist: cnetworkmanager [15:02] Curly_Q: well i know how much is being used [15:02] l1st`: iso9660 or udf it is [15:02] l1st: jep [15:03] l1st`: if it's a liveusb, yes. cds arent fat32 [15:03] dajhorn-I am not an expert-it's beginning to sound like I'm f*cked and will have to reinstall yet again. MS wins again I fear! [15:03] Curly_Q: my linux partition is only 10gb [15:03] why does the gcc compiler say "this is not fit to be used for anything" when i type gcc --version? [15:04] timmybobcat14: Linux is more likely to complain about storage if the computer is flakey. I would backup the Microsoft partitions too. [15:04] dajhorn-but thanks anyyway buddy. [15:04] wtf you guys [15:04] like seriously [15:04] maco, can't find in 10.04 repo, was it added in the last release? [15:04] Curly_Q: look at it like this, skutr34 might get lucky and lose windows altogether ;) [15:04] Skutr34, the next time you install Linux with Windows make sure you use LOGICAL PARTITIONS. This way you will not overlap one OS with the other. [15:04] Curly_Q: im not overlapping [15:05] dogarrhea: does it literally say that, or is it the standard "There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE." [15:05] Doesn't matter. Logical partitions is the right way to do it. [15:05] dajhorn- if I had important microsoft files on this computer I would not let ubuntu in a million miles of it! ha ha ha ha. I [15:05] pumpkin- same difference. [15:05] timmybobcat14: +1 you trolled me. [15:05] partition type doesn't matter at all [15:06] Curly_Q: i have a 220gb windows partition and only 104gb is being used [15:06] dajhorn-I beg your pardon? [15:06] dogarrhea: almost all free software comes with that. Otherwise you leave yourself open to being sued for giving away software. If you need someone to sue if something goes wrong, go buy a support contract from someone. [15:06] serpentologist: apparently [15:06] timmybobcat14: Saying things like that makes it sound like your question wasn't genuine. [15:06] Curly_Q: therefore as long as i leave some extra space for windows i should be fine on data [15:07] Skutr34, the size of the HD is not the issue. It is better for you to allocate a certain amount of disk space for Windows and Linux. Therefore, logically partitioning the drive is the best way to take advantage of the disk. [15:07] skutr34: you should defrag your win-filesystem before [15:07] eh. you can be sued for anything. even if you do include that merchantability clause and your program causes grevious damage intentionally [15:07] timmybobcat14: The command names are different, but the basic procedure to save your /home partition are nearly the same as what you would need to do at the Windows recovery prompt. [15:07] and maybe even unintentionally, you're liable [15:07] what's the difference between windows i386 and linux i686? [15:07] Curly_Q: lvm you mean? [15:08] what does the file extension ".a" represent. Is that a library? [15:08] joe_9: .a is a static library. [15:08] ruan: really? [15:08] ruan: it is a USB drive, yes. I was looking for a way to have a bootable LiveCD and some other Windows utilities at the same time, and XP apparently doesn't like the idea of partitioning a USB drive [15:08] dajhorn-ha ha ha. Not at all buddy perfectly genuine problem and perfectly genuine comment. But lets not fall out I'll do what you suggested but I'm not an expert or wouldn't be here. Away I go. Thanks and cheers [15:08] ruan: are you asking the difference between windows and linux? [15:08] ActionParsnip, Hey, You helped me out a while ago with my Canon Mp150 all in one printer. You sent me a link to a resolved issue you were involved in. I'm trying to set the same printer up to a different Ubuntu 10.10 machine but I can't find the bookmark to that link. Do you think you can send it to me again? [15:08] lesshaste: no [15:08] llutz, anyway you want to look at it. [15:08] dajhorn, can a static library be included in a C++ application? [15:08] lesshaste: im asking the difference between i386 and i686 [15:08] omg [15:08] Curly_Q: i just try to make sense in what you say... [15:08] joe_9: Yes, usually. [15:09] so i should just fuck it then, Curly_Q [15:09] ruan: 32 versus 64 bit? [15:09] ? [15:09] lesshaste: no, im on 32 bit and im on i686 [15:09] ruan: they're different revisions of the x86 architecture [15:09] Any one have any clue on how to troubleshoot a wandering trackpad mouse? I track the mouse to say the left three times,, and it will bounce back a few inches in the opposite direction.. [15:09] maco: ah, thanks [15:09] ruan: i686 has more instructions available for more optimisation [15:09] skutr34: Mind your language here please. [15:09] llutz, I prefer logical partitioning if the first installation was Windows. LVM if Linux is installed first. [15:10] who is tenting new release ubuntu 11.04 [15:10] phenom: clean it :D [15:10] ruan: different revisions of the x86 instruction set. i386 stuff will run on 386's, i686's will run on P2's (I think). i686 has some more optimal instructions, and so stuff will run better in general with it (unless you want to run it on a P1 or 486 or 386, when it won't run at all) [15:10] MarconM: The folks in #ubuntu+1 [15:10] Curly_Q: logical partitions (drives inside an extended partition) and LVM are completely different things [15:10] Whats the command to see if a personis active and what chanel they are in? [15:10] Sorry about all of the join/quits. I was working on a portable IRC client, working out a few kinks before committing it to disk. All done now. :) [15:10] scary,, as soon as I mention it,, it started happening more often.. [15:11] Damn commies.. [15:11] cha0s2358: Start with /whois cha0s2358 [15:11] think you [15:11] how do i do a command on connect with irssi? [15:11] eg. when i connect to irc.freenode i want to /msg nickserv identify [15:11] Curly_Q: i have LVM in fedora..... [15:11] ruan: try #irssi [15:11] i keep hitting this weird issue where many open windows somehow move themselves to a different workspace. for example, Thunderbird was in Workspace 2, and Firefox was in Workspace 4, and they switch places. has anyone ever heard of something like this happening? maybe i'm hitting some secret key combo? [15:12] ruan: There are a lot of ways. Best to ask in #irssi [15:12] where is the polish irc channel ? :D [15:12] ruan: autosendcmd = "/msg NICKSERV IDENTIFY ABCDE ; wait 2000"; [15:12] !pl | sebastian [15:12] sebastian: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [15:12] <_ruben> !pl === iceman is now known as Guest51944 [15:12] From a Windows perspective logical partitions with Windows is fool proof. Giving up the rest of the disk to Linux works just fine. [15:12] llutz: thanks [15:13] sebastian: polish ubuntu channel? [15:13] Curly_Q: Why do you prefer LVM? (just curious) [15:13] Curly_Q: i just want to give some space to fedora [15:13] sebastian: there probably is one if you aren't joking [15:13] The fact of the matter is that this should all be accounted for before installing both kernels. === Guest91182 is now known as DarkDevil [15:13] !pl | sebastian [15:13] sebastian: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [15:13] llutz: where would i set that? [15:13] sebastian: #ubuntu-pl [15:13] ehh. don't matter [15:13] but thx :D [15:13] sebastian: no problem.. 100 people there [15:13] ruan: chatnets { freenode= .... } === DarkDevil is now known as Guest9844 [15:13] ok I really don't want to sound like a broken record but is there anything at all I can try to get a working chroot into my broken system from usb stick when I try to chroot and get an error that /bin/sh doesn't exist (meanwhile there is /bin/sh and /target/bin/sh) - I really don't want to be repetitive but I'm out of things to try other than wiping everything and reinstalling... [15:14] The best solution is using dual drives dedicated for each OS. [15:14] llutz: where is that? [15:14] Curly_Q: how would i do that? [15:14] Curly_Q: ~/.irssi/config if not, create that part [15:14] secretary_linux: you need a forum or mailing list if you don't get a good answer on irc [15:14] dedicated drivers are an alternative [15:14] ruan: ^^ sry [15:14] ruan: You shouldn't be modyifying your irssi config manually. #irssi can tell you the right way to change that setting. [15:14] lesshaste: true, but there's no time for something like that, I'd have to go nuclear first [15:14] ! chroot | secretary_linux [15:14] secretary_linux: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [15:14] secretary_linux: Double-check that the chroot and the LiveCD or LiveUSB are both 32-bit or both-64 bit. [15:14] secretary_linux: no time == has to be done in an hour? [15:14] Buy another hard drive. [15:14] ok [15:14] unfortunately the ! chroot guide doesn't help me [15:14] lesshaste: that would be ideal [15:15] lesshaste: system has been down since yesterday [15:15] sorry to hear it [15:15] http://pastebin.com/NRKSZx6V [15:15] try #linux too [15:15] secretary_linux: ^^ [15:15] dajhorn: thanks, someone caught me on that earlier :) they are both 64 bit now [15:15] im having a slight problem mounting an old jfs partition on 10.10 [15:15] secretary_linux: Do you know how the chroot target got trashed? Filesystem problem? Bad upgrade? [15:16] Curly_Q: im on a laptop so would it be ok to run one of the os's on an external harddrive? [15:16] For dual booting, the best solution I've found is combine a USB hard drive with a motherboard that supports USB-boot. I then install Windows into the on-system drive, and install Ubuntu to the USB drive. This eliminates needing to install Grub to the system. Instead, install it to the USB drive. I have 2 different solutions like this, one is running from a 16GB Sandisk Flash drive... === sysadmin is now known as Guest19107 [15:16] Skutr34, you can install two hard drives on your laptop. I have done it. [15:16] while the other is installed on the first 40GB of a 120GB USB hard drive (single cable type). [15:16] how do i ping someone? [15:16] Hello I'm looking for a software to control the broadcasting video shows and and advertisment on an ubuntu server . Can someone tell me if there is a program like that for linux use? [15:16] Then it all depends on the Real Estate of your laptop though. [15:17] Curly_Q: i dont want to open the laptop though.... would an external work? [15:17] dajhorn: yes, rsnapshot left a lot of hard links to all files on the system and when I tried to remove them, rm -r actually followed the links and deleted all the files on the system. I copied stuff from a good backup, but I can't boot because the backup is from before a kernel upgrade last week [15:17] ch0s: ping [15:17] You can slave a second hard drive. === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [15:17] Sure use a USB external. [15:17] dajhorn: and when I say it deleted all files on the system, I mean it tried to until I stopped it after a few miserable seconds [15:17] ActionParsnip, You here man? [15:18] cha0s: or ping www.example.com [15:18] Curly_Q: also would i have to reinstall linux to move it to the external? [15:18] Keep in mind that if you boot up you need to go into the BIOS and set the boot sequence for what you want to boot up first. [15:18] beer_brouwer, thank you [15:18] secretary_linux: Does this command succeed? chroot /busted/system /sbin/ldconfig -v [15:18] You can dual boot with a USB installation. [15:19] yup, all day. [15:19] That is if your BIOS is setup for it. [15:19] :) [15:19] right [15:19] Curly_Q: would i have to reinstall linux to move it to the external drive> [15:19] ? [15:19] You can Dual boot with a 64 gig memory stick. Put it in your pocket and you have a Linux server and Windows to go. hehe [15:19] skutr34: its no problem to have linux on the same disk as windows, you should defrag your win-filesystem before you try to shrink your win-partitions and make sure to backup your data [15:19] Skutr34 yes. [15:20] llutz: well i like the idea of having it on another harddrive hough [15:20] I call it Linux on a stick. hehe [15:20] lol [15:20] skutr34: not very handy for a laptop (imho) [15:20] most likely anyways, unless you wanna go about things the hard way. It's best to reinstall anyway to optimize the system to the new storage medium. [15:20] dajhorn: fails. I tried "chroot /target /sbin/ldconfig -v" getting basically same error as before. there is, in fact, no /sbin/ldconfig in the install environment, so I tried "chroot /target /target/sbin/ldconfig -v" and got the same thing (there is a /target/sbin/ldconfig) [15:21] fixed my problem, ran a fsck on /dev/sda4 [15:21] Skutr34 use a 64 gig memory stick to install Linux on. [15:21] hi [15:21] now it reads without a problem [15:21] I'm having a weird issue with openVPN and networkmanager. It no longer sets the default gateway and so unless I add it manually I can only connect to compuers on the local network [15:21] llutz: ik but if i shrink windows im only going to be able to give it 30 or so gigs === jrn_ is now known as jrn_a [15:21] nebular: default gateway with openvpn is a server, not client setting [15:21] Curly_Q: not a bad idea [15:22] secretary_linux: Your backup is probably incomplete. Perhaps the `rm -r` deleted some system libraries. [15:22] ActionParsnip, [15:22] 16GB at very minimum to be useful. I've done USB stick installs to 4GB drives, but they are very small and minimally capable. [15:22] skutr34: should be fine, store your data on the win-partition. writing ntfs is no problem [15:22] i have a compiled kernel with acpi modules included, when i shutdown the machine it doesnt shutdown what can i do? [15:22] dajhorn: how can I determine what they are? and best I can tell, the backup is actually complete [15:22] secretary_linux: Yes, however openVPN works fine when I boot into linux or on my phone running android 2.3 [15:22] dajhorn: if I could chroot in, I would try to do some apt-get repairs [15:22] llutz: i dont understand [15:22] secretary_linux: That would be a lot of work. A quicker solution would be to reinstall every package on the broken system. [15:22] Curly_Q: those things are like 100 dollars [15:22] dajhorn: yes that's also my inclination but I'm not sure the best way to approach it [15:22] so my sever is sending the proper gateway, network manager isn't applying it [15:23] You can install VMware on a memory stick with Windows, Linux, Apple or anything. [15:23] secretary_linux: First, get a list of every package on the system. dpkg --root=/busted/system --get-selections | cut -f1 -d ' ' === phidelt82_ is now known as phidelt82 [15:23] dajhorn: ok that's gold, I'm doing it now [15:23] so I'm at a loss as to what happened to nework manager. [15:23] skutr34: if you need more space, store parts of your data (music/photos/videos) on windows-partition from linux. so you won't need more than those 30GB linux [15:23] Howdy again. Is 'upstart' the exclusive init controlling process or are there still parts from SysVinit around in 10.10 ? [15:24] So, stop crying and start buying. :) [15:24] dajhorn: there's actually no dpkg in the damn install environment... [15:24] Curly_Q: it would be cheaper to buy an external drive [15:24] secretary_linux: Okay, the system is hosed. [15:24] llutz: yeah i already do that [15:24] secretary_linux: Wait... [15:24] dajhorn: well that's the install image, there is a dpkg in the broken system [15:25] secretary_linux: Don't run that in the chroot. dpkg and apt need to be in the recovery environment. [15:25] elHannos: upstart uses /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf to call the old-style scripts in /etc/init.d === bxl4074 is now known as spivoler [15:25] Skutr34 the reason I mentioned memory stick is because your laptop is portable. Which means to carry a separate external hard drive is not the way to go. Put the memory stick in your pocket instead. Does that sound reasonable? [15:25] Curly_Q: lol ill ask my parents (hint, hint [15:25] Curly_Q: ik [15:25] dajhorn: I know, I can't get into a chroot anyway :) when I tried doing what you said using /target/usr/bin/dpkg, I get "error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [15:25] Curly_Q: i just dont want to spend 100 dollars on something i already have in my pants xD [15:25] Yeah dear old dad and mom. :) [15:26] genii-around: So rc-sysinit.conf is another upstart-'job'. [15:26] Curly_Q: i apologize :) [15:26] :) [15:26] ; [15:27] Curly_Q: ok so for now i think ill shrink windows a bit until i can get something like a shtick or an external drive [15:27] elHannos: As far as I can tell. But you can still call the old sysvinit stuff through it by name like sudo service old-sysvinit-name restart [15:27] Skutr34, before you shrink any data, make sure you back up. [15:27] Curly_Q: lol god i hate backups [15:27] Guess what? Welcome to the club. [15:27] Curly_Q: but i gotta go thanks for the help, and yeah lol [15:28] OK Skutr34, nice to meet you. [15:28] elHannos: But yeah, initctl list shows rc-sysinit [15:28] genii-around: ok, thx [15:29] Moin [15:30] :( [15:30] in which ubuntu release wayland will be installed and used by default? [15:30] I mean, is there a plan for it? [15:30] Just curious how ready is wayland for such a step [15:31] ohai [15:31] vladimiroff: hello. what is wayland ? [15:31] vladimiroff: Not yet. It was annonced after the last UDS, so I would expect that its discussed during the next one probably. [15:31] Random question: I maxed the RAM on my laptop, it started using swap. Fair enough. I've now got >1Gb of RAM free (out of 1.5Gb) and it's still using swap. [15:31] And making everything pig-slow [15:31] Any suggestions? [15:31] I installed full HDD, now I would like to shrink the install so that I can have extra HDD space for multimedia, is GParted the way or is there a guide from Ubuntu on how this is done? [15:32] ok, so without dpkg able to run, how can I get a list of apt packages installed into my broken system from a usbstick? [15:32] vladimiroff: ok, i googled it [15:32] Pici: so 11.10 may be? [15:32] or later? === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [15:33] vladimiroff: I personally think after the next LTS, but thats just my opinion. [15:34] CMOT-Weasel check this interesting reading: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3202 [15:35] secretary_linux: dpkg needs to run from the Live environment. It sounds like you have more than one problem. [15:36] CMOT-Weasel, if you have that much RAM why not for the sake of argument disable SWAP and see for yourself. [15:36] Pici: okay. thanks for it :) [15:36] dajhorn: ok, well maybe that part is a simple matter. it seems the ubuntu live environment should include dpkg somewhere and not depend on having a broken system around somewhere [15:37] CMOT-Weasel: there is a setting 'swappiness' google it, that determines when to swap [15:37] secretary_linux: The Live CD certainly has it. Maybe try that. [15:37] Hello. Can anyone tell me how I can disable (prevent) swap partition from being accessed and mounted during the boot process? Adding noswap as boot parameter isn't working. [15:37] CMOT-Weasel, keep in mind that if you have two RAM modules and one is faster than the other, the speed of the RAM will only be that of the slowest RAM. [15:38] dajhorn: this is the server amd64 install image... that's basically what I've got to work with. I'll poke around and see if it's there someplace... [15:38] Many people make the mistake of buying a fast secondary RAM chip when there is another really slow RAM chip on board. [15:39] Remove the slowest RAM module. [15:39] dajhorn: if I can remember the important services I need to reinstall, is there any reason I can't just reinstall the system overtop (without formatting!) without knowing every installed package? [15:39] Always put in matching RAM modules. === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [15:45] CMOT-Weasel, also try making the SWAP file the same size as the RAM you have. See what happens. [15:45] i have an old laptop, will ubuntu 10.10 work on it ? currently i am running 9.04 , it has 1gb ram, 200gb HDD and core2duo === root is now known as Guest24568 [15:46] dr0id: it should [15:46] CMOT-Weasel, when I ran Red Hat 9 I had a separate hard drive mounted just for SWAP. It worked very fast. [15:46] dr0id: dude thats not 'old' :) [15:46] ok so i have a hard drive with ubuntu and windows xp partitions, using grub2 its loading ubuntu by default. Im adding a hard drive and installing windows 7 to it, what do i need to do to get wnidows 7 added to the bootloader on the ubuntu/xp drive? === Guest24568 is now known as ScottO_ [15:46] aeon-ltd: well, it is 5 years old and last time i tried to upgrade to 9.10 and failed [15:46] secretary_linux: You will lose most of your /etc/customization if you clobber the system. [15:46] so whats the best way to upgrade to 10.10 pls ? [15:46] do i just update grub? [15:46] !upgrade | dr0id [15:46] dr0id: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:47] thank you [15:47] dr0id: backup your data and do a fresh install [15:47] so, I want to reinstall ubuntu over top of a broken system without formatting or unnecessarily deleting any files. what's the best way to do this? the installer seems to not want to let me proceed to installation without partitioning first [15:47] ok., thanks [15:47] llutz: home and /var/www is all i need to back i guess :) [15:47] dajhorn: oops didn't see your last message. yes, I can back up my /etc and selectively put it back in without a problem [15:47] <_crash_> lol [15:47] <_crash_> I just crashed ubuntu [15:47] lol [15:47] Using a separate hard drive for SWAP reduces latency. [15:47] anyone? [15:48] dr0id: depends... i like to have /etc backed up too and a list of installed packages [15:48] <_crash_> I was listening music in Audacious and then I opened a video in Firefox and it crashed [15:48] secretary_linux: you can't, you have to partition to make space for a fresh system. if you have a usb stick why don't you boot into a live environment rescue files you need then install ubuntu? [15:48] <_crash_> :D [15:48] <_crash_> first time this happens [15:48] ok [15:48] secretary_linux: If you have a full backup, and if you don't mind doing an overlay, then I would do a fresh install. Anything that broke your system libraries probably caused latent damage elsewhere. [15:48] aeon-ltd: because there is no usb stick large enough to hold user files from this system and /home is not a separate partition [15:49] <_crash_> I should be Ubuntu tester hehe [15:49] <_crash_> later [15:49] come on, there's gotta be a way to try it at least. [15:50] Secretary linux, I have a 64 gig memory stick. I use it for the kernel and you can mount a separate drive for the data files and more. [15:50] Curly_Q: good for you ;) [15:51] secretary_linux: A manual `debootstrap` will keep your /home intact, but this some work. The alternate installer will let you skip the format step, but you need to be extra cautious. [15:51] Kingston makes a good flash drive. [15:51] dajhorn: what do you mean by extra cautious? [15:52] hi. i got 10.10 and i encrypted my /home . now i cannot connect via ssh to a server anymore. there is always a password prompt. any hints? [15:52] secretary_linux: You need to cancel the install at the disk partitioning step, click back to get to the installation task menu, and then click the right post-partitioning step. If you just mash the key, then you'll overwrite the existing system. [15:52] ok so i have a hard drive with ubuntu and windows xp partitions, using grub2 its loading ubuntu by default. Im adding a hard drive and installing windows 7 to it, what do i need to do to get wnidows 7 added to the bootloader on the ubuntu/xp drive? [15:53] hi,all.which free vpn's faster in American? [15:53] dajhorn: that seems to jump me back into the partitioner. how do I get into the alternate installer? [15:53] secretary_linux: The Ubuntu alternate installer looks like the classic white-on-blue Debian installer. It will be family if you've used Debian. [15:53] Gfx x11VPN seems to work OK. Works with SSH. [15:53] dee01: pasword prompt is normal with ssh, except you saved your puclic key on the server you want to connect to [15:54] gfs: trying to torrent? [15:54] dajhorn: I think the "alternate" installer you speak of might be the default on the server edition? [15:54] secretary_linux: Yes, potentially. [15:54] beer_brouwer: the public key is on a server. yes. [15:54] oh,i'm going try [15:54] dajhorn: if that's the case though it's still not letting me bypass that step [15:54] secretary_linux: Ubuntu publishes the regular -desktop iso, but you need the -alternate iso. [15:54] dee01: then I'm afraid I can't help you [15:55] beer_brouwer: tnx anyway [15:55] secretary_linux: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [15:55] I am stuck at this..can't get this regular expression right..i have a string containing line..i need to search for DVI in this line..but there are at least 4 DVIs and I need to look for a specific one..can someone guide me with this [15:56] dajhorn: no time for downloads.. I'll try rebooting in install mode, as I was in recovery mode [15:56] hello [15:56] hi ubuntu [15:56] need help please [15:56] ua: then tell us your problem :P [15:56] in my university i have 4 access points with same essid without passwor, how can i make ubuntu choose the best [15:57] i'd like to delete lines on grub, because lot of lines [15:58] # ..... comments [15:58] ua: uninstall older kernels. in synaptic search for "linux-image" [15:58] dajhorn: you know something I could try would be backing up /etc and /var, deleting everything except /home, and then doing this reinstall without format overtop. that would eliminate any fucked up system remnants === herton_ is now known as herton [16:00] Seyacat, if all of the access points use the same hardware, I don't see any difference. [16:00] It all depends upon how many people at one given time are occupying the access point. You can html into the router and see who is logged in. [16:01] Type in: http://192.168.0.1 [16:02] nothing gets me going like htmling into routers [16:02] Click the link above and it will take you there. [16:02] i was just thinking [16:02] when i do apropos ruby i get many results [16:02] Curly_Q: ubuntu cant connect to this network [16:02] when i do tar -xvf myfolder.tgz, its spitting everything out in my current directory....its not creating a directory called myfolder..how can untar myfolder.tgz such that its automatically creates a direcotry called myfolder [16:02] for example ruby1.9 is one of them, then when i do man ruby1.9 i get no man page, why so ? [16:03] dr0id: man -k ruby [16:03] Seyacat then you didn't specify your question then. Explain. [16:03] milind: That behavior is by convention. It isn't automatic. The person that created myfolder.tgz forgot to include the myfolder/ prefix. [16:03] llutz: shows me ruby1.9 , but when i do man ruby1.9 i shows an error [16:03] cant resolve /usr/share/man/man1/ruby1.9.1.gz ..... [16:04] hi, where can I tweak the config network-manager passes to dnsmasq when used to share internet? according to `ps` it's using --conf-file /tmp/mbnyvvmubx.conf but that file doesn't exist :< [16:04] milind: mkdir myfolder; tar -C myfolder -xzvf myfolder.tgz [16:04] dr0id: does "man ruby" not work? [16:04] milind: mkdir && tar -xvf myfolder.tgz [16:05] milamber: -C [16:05] * milamber llutz +1 [16:06] thanks guys..but if i wanted to tar a folder, which when untarred would automatically created that folder..how would i go about doing that [16:06] sipior: no [16:06] dr0id: and the error is? [16:06] man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz: No such file or directory [16:06] No manual entry for ruby [16:07] milind: tar -pczf name_of_your_archive.tar.gz /path/to/directory [16:07] 15:36 #ubuntu: < Curly_Q> CMOT-Weasel, if you have that much RAM why not for the sake of argument disable SWAP and see for yourself. [16:07] so can anyone confirm that there is absolutely no way in the ubuntu server installer to select mountpoints without formatting partitions? [16:07] Only got 1.5Gb, it regularly uses swap [16:07] swap is set up correctly, it's just not moving from swap back to RAM [16:08] It's a laptop with a 1.8" 4200RPM HDD so swap is pretty slow! [16:08] dr0id: have you recently uninstalled or upgraded the ruby package? also, which version of ubuntu are you running? [16:08] ActionParsnip, you here? [16:09] CMOT-Weasel: Linux swap is somewhat aggressive. It will pre-fill the swap even if it doesn't immediately need to. [16:09] let me ask this question another way: if all my partitions are mounted and set as "do not use" in manual partitioning, what will happen when i click "write changes to disk"? will they be formatted anyway? will that let me get out of this loop where when I go to the menu and hit the install option, I'm jumped back into partitioning? [16:09] dr0id: you will see what I see with man ruby here http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/ruby/ === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [16:10] Hi, I have an old 10.04 box, but I'd like to just update 1 package from the latest version (bnetd). Is this possible? [16:10] dajhorn: Fair play, anything I can really do about it? [16:10] secretary_linux: they won't be formatted. but of course then there's nowhere to install to... [16:11] sipior: hmmm, but how can I select mountpoints without formatting? [16:11] Stevethepirate: yes, if the latest version of bnetd is on 10.04(lucid) [16:11] repos^ [16:11] CMOT-Weasel: I disable swap on computers with 1GB+ of memory unless I want to hibernate the computer. [16:11] ruan: But thats what I am saying [16:11] secretary_linux: my recollection is that there is a separate format checkbox, but it has been a while. [16:11] secretary_linux: that sounds like it should work. as long as you provide one unused partition at install ubuntu should guess that's where you want to install it [16:12] I presume there is an update in the 10.10 (because some clients cannot connect to my server) [16:12] So I assume there was an update of sorts. [16:12] CMOT-Weasel: Personally, for a workstation, I prefer the oom killer over a slow swap. [16:12] sacarlson: that's not at all what i want to do though [16:12] CMOT-Weasel: You can do the same thing by changing the swappiness variables. [16:12] Stevethepirate: is there an update in update manger? [16:12] secretary_linux: you don't want to install? [16:13] sacarlson: well, maybe it is... the partitions aren't "unused" per se, I just want to reinstall over top of an existing partition. I guess the installer does see it as "unused" [16:13] question [16:13] Stevethepirate: Look at the 'prevu' package. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [16:13] should use 10.04 or 10.10` [16:13] any body?

[16:15] milamber, i did that same thing..but it did not work..its still spitting out everything in my current directory instead of myfolder [16:15] I found the trick. if you want to install to an existing partition without formatting, you have to select the filesystem type it uses currently, and then choose use current data [16:16] goodnight [16:16] secretary_linux: so pick a partition to be root [16:16] ruan: need an newinstall [16:16] LarsTorbenk: ?

[16:48] hello, i want to sign error 404 in ubuntu.com [16:48] i can do it on this channel? [16:48] Long story short: load live cd. apt-get install mdadm lvm2. install onto lvm root, using the main installer. reboot. do updates. die. [16:49] Hi [16:49] This _only_ manifests on lvm2, but is not necessarily due to apt. Sometimes watching a flash video causes death. [16:49] wmp: what version of ubuntu are you using?

[16:49] bastidrazor: emmm, 10.10, what you want this info? [16:49] victorhugo289: Provided that you actually want to bind-mount, yes. [16:49] donnib: did you try anything like this mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.44.100/share /path_to/mount as seen http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html [16:50] victorhugo289: define "safe" it works and is commonly used [16:50] wmp: i suppose i misunderstood your fragmented statement. [16:50] victorhugo289: mount --bind = take folder /a and have it also at /some/place/a [16:50] sacarlson: yes i did and i get permission denied [16:50] i pressume it's a problem with the UID [16:50] donnib: with sudo ? [16:50] I ask this because I've noticed that the folders so mounted don't have a working trash bin, that is: the trash bin doens't work in folders mouted with bind [16:50] scarleo: yes [16:50] bastidrazor: look, on this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download dont work link: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.1/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64.iso.torrent [16:51] hello [16:51] I mount with bind using scripts at startup. [16:51] donnib: well make sure your user and uuid match or make a new one [16:51] victorhugo289: scripts? why not /etc/fstab? [16:51] hello [16:51] hello, i'm trying to create a shared contacts list so that everyone in the worshop has access to the same info, what's the easyest way about doing this? [16:52] sacarlson: yes but the problem is that sudo authenticates with root and if use sudo -u someusername it says only root can do mount [16:52] Fstab doesn't work with --bind, because the folder I want to mount is on a FAT32 partition that I automounts at start up too. [16:52] Anybody have a good place that I can go for detailed information on lvm / ubuntu combinations? The wiki is pretty pointless, and filing a bug at this point is equally wasteful as I don't have useful debugging output.

Also when I click on some files they seem to act kinda weird... [16:56] roland: err, rather, no it is not possible in the way you are thinking. [16:56] Does anyone here know anything about Rainbow tables and coWPAtty ?? [16:57] sacarlson: yes [16:57] roland: That being said, you could use ssh and X forwarding to make a window from one machine appear on another. This can't be done on the fly (afaik).

[17:06] I have approx. 100GB of unallocated space that I want to add to /dev/sda1 which is my WinXP partition, but the problem is the space is in /dev/sda2, my Ubuntu partition. When trying to simply increase the space on my WinXP partition, it won't let me add any more space. How can I do so? === portos111 is now known as kokand [17:06] sacarlson: i can go in Network on Ubuntu and i can see the NAS and i can navigate fine without credentials but i can't mount with mount [17:06] I can't figure out how to move the space to my WinXP partition [17:07] donnib: yes but that's not using cifs [17:07] Cody3290: you can't without deleting sda2. space has to be continous [17:07] osinet, try back-in-time [17:07] sacarlson: no, it is CIFS, it says cifs [17:08] So I'm stuck with having a small windows space and a gigantic ubuntu space unless I reinstall ubuntu? [17:08] how can I do that? [17:08] PeaceMaker [17:08] Cody3290: resize ubuntu [17:08] Cody3290: and then windows [17:08] I did. The space stays in the ubuntu partition, and I can't edit the winXP space to be any larger [17:09] donnib: I thought that nautilus used smbfs [17:09] Can I ask a question? [17:09] Cody3290: make unallocated space an own partition. win has an option to "mount" that partition to a directory of your choice [17:09] sacarlson: i just see it says CIFS in parentheses for the share [17:09] Cody3290: is that windows in the primary partition table and ubuntu in the secondary? [17:09] Cody3290: extended* [17:10] Yes, ubuntu is in the extended partition [17:10] slava__, ues [17:10] yes [17:10] osinet, back-in-time is a "time machine" like software that lets you rewind your file system to a previous state. Google back in time, ubuntu has it in repository as well. [17:11] Cody3290, you could always use a Gparted Live cd. and resize things also. Bt it depends on your needs. [17:11] I am on GParted LiveCD [17:11] IT won't let me move the space from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1 [17:11] is there an dock like the mac and were can i get mac icons [17:11] How to check ufw rules while ufw is inactive? anyone? [17:11] Cody3290, you can to use Acronis [17:11] Acronis? [17:11] there can be issues with resizeing/moveing space from a Logical/extended onto a Primary next to it. It may take a few steps to get it done. [17:11] Oh [17:12] I don't mind, as long as I can get that space there [17:12] Cody3290, yes [17:12] I don't like having 100GB i can't really use [17:12] Cody3290, yes , acronis is a program partition edit very easy to use [17:12] Cody3290, you could just turn that 100gb into a second drive for windows to use. that would be the easiest way to get some use from it. [17:12] Cody3290, and you can to make backup with it [17:13] to clone your instalation [17:13] Dr_Willis_TCL: How would I do that?

What code in which package I may change to make it work properly? [17:13] Cody3290, use gparted to partuion/format the 100gb to ntfs. windows should then see it. [17:13] ah [17:13] it so cold [17:14] So it would come up, say, in My Computer, with C:\ and then I'd have something else like Z:\ or J:\?

[17:17] well for iptables theres 'sudo iptables --list' [17:17] trying [17:17] try ufw --help and see if ihas a similer option [17:18] no luck with sudo iptables --list [17:18] it prints out no rules, but I just added two rules. [17:19] if ufw is disabled.. that would make sence. [17:19] since iptables shows the actual in place rules. [17:19] check 'ufw --help' or theres always the ufw docs. :) [17:20] checked community docs, no avail on the solution. [17:20] Maybe ufw wrote the rules to a file [17:20] man ufw didn return useful info.

[17:27] I've set up the Virtual Machine to use a Virtual HD dynamically maintained by Windows [17:27] during the installation Ubuntu requests to create a partition [17:28] Yes [17:28] tyreza - clarify what you are trying to do. [17:28] AbismoNegro, why IE , you can run FF as IE on certain websites [17:28] i know ie sucks but unfortunately the following website which is for my university just works with ie. [17:28] I'm confused if this is actually going to attempt to repartition my actual HD, or just the virtual HD Windows created [17:28] MSU_Student55, it would be the virtual hard drive. [17:28] by the way i prefer opera over all of them [17:28] i simply wanna know : how to /etc/init.d/networking restart and /etc/init.d/apache reload [17:29] MSHughes, its gernally NOT a good idea to use a virtual machine to access a real hard drive.. [17:29] thank you guys . i'll try [17:29] i simply want to run that two command at same time [17:29] how to do ? [17:29] tyreza, if you restart it.. it does reload... [17:29] Dr_Willis, if I go through the guided partition and select to use all of the space available, my PC will be fine? [17:29] tyreza Oh. You want some bash basics lessons... [17:29] abis yes I like opera too, but it doesn't run too well on natty [17:30] tyreza /etc/init.d/networking restart && /etc/init.d/apache reload [17:30] MSU_Student55, it should be using the virtual disks... check your VM machineds docs... [17:30] are there mouse macroing programs for ubuntu? if not, will mouse macroing programs work on wine? [17:30] you have to learn first the linux basics lesson Dr_Willis_TCL [17:30] ruan, there are some out for Linux/ubuntu. and No i havent used them [17:30] tyreza, time to get reading then.

[17:31] could anyone recommend a media player? Totem movie player seems pretty crappy. [17:31] tyreza: write that line into a file, make it executable, script done [17:31] ok let me check [17:31] wavez: yep it is. I like vlc. [17:31] wavez, vlc, mplayer and its variants, xbmc, boxee, and proberly 4+ oters.

[17:37] Thanks, [17:38] donnib: no, specifying a uid won't make any sense in that case. [17:38] sipior: what about an username ? [17:38] llut, thanks. [17:38] donnib: no difference. [17:39] sipior: so when i get a access denied by server [17:39] donnib: either the server or the client is configured badly. [17:40] sipior: hmm....i don't have a password on the NAS so what else can it be ? [17:40] Is there a way to change the default video accelleration to XAA? [17:40] So, with Ubuntu "editions" like the server edition going awya, does that mean 11.04 will let yuou choose to install a GUI or not?

Do "man 5 exports" and search for the various "map" options ? [17:41] donnib: is the server configured to permit access from your machine? [17:41] deucep: If not then I just built my last Ubuntu box forever last week... [17:41] sipior: the server is not set to restrict anybody if that's what you ask [17:42] donnib: the question is whether it *permits* anybody. [17:42] sipior: yes it does [17:42] donnib: you've verified that on another machine? === nick_ is now known as Guest63400 [17:42] gimpy4685, i think the editions will mean the desktop/netbook editions are going away. sicne they will be using the same interface. [17:42] sipior: no, i can't because then ill have to do mount as well [17:42] donnib: uh, what? [17:42] I have /dev/sdb and I want to partition it ant format it with ext4, i.e. create a /dev/sdb1 and format it. with console [17:43] sipior: i mean how would i try it ? i have a mac but i have not tried to do mount on that one [17:43] donnib: do you have access to log-files on this server? [17:43] donnib: so when you said "yes it does"... [17:43] elHannos: where do i find that ? [17:44] donnib: depends on the OS/Brand your server is running... [17:44] sipior: it's something i believe it is, of course i cannot know for sure, i have looked thru the settings of the NAS and i can't find something that indicates that [17:44] elHannos: ohh you mean on the NAS [17:44] donnib: yep [17:45] elHannos: no, i don't i assume there is if i enable some settings or i access it thru SSH [17:45] BajK: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/IBM7248-HOWTO/cfdisk.html to create a partition. sudo mkfs.ext -m0 /dev/sdb1 to create filesystem [17:45] elHannos: but i have not tried to look for it [17:45] How to install this gnome theme http://danoex.deviantart.com/#/d3b5s7t [17:45] when 11.04 comes out, do i need to reinstall or does update manager come with a bunch of updates ?

[17:50] donnib: use the file -> network item [17:50] donnib: you can add a username there [17:50] ActionParsnip: ? [17:51] donnib: in nautilus, there is a file menu, in the file menu there is a network item [17:51] donnib: you can specify username there [17:52] ActionParsnip: not sure where that is ? in System ? [17:52] hi [17:52] explore the menus. :) look for a network item. It may be in your native language. [17:52] sipior: they don't specify how to mount the nas from ubuntu with NFS [17:53] I am trying to create a usb version of the networkinstall iso image. I am using "startup disk creator". Somehow I cannot select the iso image. Any suggestions? [17:53] php script can be used for linux script ? [17:53] donnib, they state its a NFS server? Often the things have a web interface that lets you configure them. [17:53] donnib: which NAS are you using? [17:53] sipior: Netgear Readuynas NV+ [17:53] Readynas [17:53] Dr_Willis_TCL: yes i know that, i am using that one [17:54] wtbtr, not all of those images work as a usb disk. No idea if the networkinstall iso does.. Theres always the various tools at the pendrivelinux web site also. [17:55] wtbtr: try unetbootin [17:55] donnib: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5737&view=previous [17:55] donnib: click places -> home folder [17:55] donnib: the file browser is called nautilus [17:56] Is there perhaps a Ubuntu advanced channel of sorts? [17:56] eviljames, not that ive ever noticed. [17:56] is there a bug changing permissions on ntfs drives ? [17:56] sipior: Places -> Home folder ? on the web interface ? [17:56] theres the ubuntu-server channel and kubuntu and a few others.. [17:56] internet explorer 9 has been released but no deb for ubuntu yet? [17:56] donnib: one imagines so. [17:57] opalfroot, otehr then the fact that you cant.. :) you select the permissions as mount options.. [17:57] Dr_Willis_TCL: This is unfortunate. Know anyone who knows anything about lvm/ubuntu combinations? [17:57] Guys at you opens??? http://pic4you.ru/10376/760457/ [17:57] Trying to get a good way to go about troubleshooting what I see as a weird issue.

[17:57] donnib: no, on your desktop [17:57] opalfroot, check the ownership. and uid/gid options. [17:58] opalfroot, and the umask option. [17:58] yup both set to me [17:58] unmask ? [17:58] umask = selexcts the default modes. [17:58] ok will check [17:58] opalfroot, you are mounting it by hand? or letting gnome auto mount it on access? === int3nz0r is now known as int3nz0r`afk [17:58] gnome auto [17:59] opalfroot, you may want to install/run the ntfs-config tool,. OR set it up to mount how you want in fstab. [17:59] ntfs-config tool was a little flakey last i used it.

[18:01] deucap sure [18:01] i got a script to connect to ssh [18:01] i need a script [18:01] i need a script [18:01] deucep you need to setup samba users [18:01] * Dr_Willis_TCL waits for some actual details... [18:02] i need an other script to restart networks [18:02] using the smbpasswd utility [18:02] that allows them to log in [18:02] ssh can run a remote command. its a feature of ssh.

[18:03] ssh user@host [18:03] opalfroot: I must have something setup wrong in my SMB [18:03] you want to remotely restart networking on a machine you said.. [18:03] tyreza: you're not exactly making things easy for him. [18:03] opalfroot: I added the user but I still cant login at the prompt [18:03] you havent exactly read the docs on ssh then tyreza - or else its not clear what youa re doing sounds exactly like a feature in ssh.

[18:05] i need some help...i'm new to linux...ubuntu [18:05] anyone? [18:05] danny66RO, and the problem is? [18:05] tyreza: "exec script2" [18:06] or /path/to/script2 [18:06] danny66RO: custom here is just to ask your question directly :-) [18:06] that's enough thatnks a lot [18:06] depends on the details... [18:06] well i have ubuntu10.10 and it freezez after a couple of minutes [18:06] Dr_Willis_TCL: i don't think we can expect details here... === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:07] indeed, or legible sentences.

[18:09] danny66RO: ? no idea to your issue, would think thermal problems [18:09] danny66RO: what you need to know [18:09] no...when i brows online [18:09] llutz, if ssh is inside script1, I am afraid it still needs you to input password. [18:09] danny66RO, does it ONLY freeze when you are browsing? [18:09] sry for my bad english [18:09] PeaceMaker: not my problem... [18:09] y a t il un français ici? [18:09] i always brows... [18:09] hello. I am sharing a folder on my linux (ubuntu 10.10) that I ftp into. Is there a way to make it not time out and become unavailable until I remind ubuntu that it's a shared folder?

[18:11] Flash problems can be VERY hard to troubleshoot. :( [18:11] eviljames: i have plenty of problems with english. I went to publick skewls [18:11] llutz, if two scripts are on the same server, you can call scripts as long as 1) the path is right, 2) the permission is right. [18:12] Blue1: I went to private schools in Canada, but I haven't kept my french in practice ;) [18:12] PeaceMaker, is the one needing the scripting lesson i belive.. :) [18:12] opalfroot: http://pastie.org/1675378 [18:12] ma che canale e [18:12] Dr_Willis_TCL: i just installed ff 4.0 -- for the first time since 10.10 relased, this is a stable release for me.

[18:14] opalfroot: Took me a bit to get it through ssh lol [18:15] hi, with nautilus, how can i search including hidden files? === Guest27736 is now known as DarkDevil [18:15] im trying to run pprof from google-perftools - i've installed all the google-perftools packages I can see but it doesnt seem to be there [18:15] i need to remove all those .svn in a group of folders where i don't use svn anymore === DarkDevil is now known as Guest31582 [18:15] any ideas how I can get it? are the ubuntu perftools packages broken? [18:15] Calinou, you could use find with the proper options to find/remove tehm [18:16] i've checked "show hidden files" [18:16] but this does not apply to search, the ctrl+f one [18:16] I wonder if thers some nice gui to find... [18:17] I made a link to a script in /ect/cron.hourly but it doesn't seem to be running so I'm wondering what else I need to do. the script works if I run it manually [18:17] no file found using the advanced search from ubuntu's applications too [18:17] ZenMasta, what does the script do.. did you use absolute paths.. is it using the right shell. [18:17] oh. found [18:17] i've found, thanks anyway, bye [18:17] find / -name .svn | xargs rm -f [18:17] Calinou, find is a command line tool that can do fancy things :) like PeaceMaker just showed. === Guest44996 is now known as eBittin [18:17] Dr_Willis_TCL its a mysql backup [18:18] ZenMasta, check your paths.. make the script print out some log/info messages to say waht its doing and perhaps failing at.. [18:18] Dr_Willis_TCL as I mentioned the script works if I run it manually I've never used cron before so i'm sure I'm msising something [18:18] genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'isolinux'! [18:18] Command exited with non-zero status 255 [18:18] << then you're f*cking blind! [18:19] My wireless shuts off whenever I unplug my AC cord (Laptop btw). I checked power management, and all of that seems to be fine. I don't know what keeps making it shut off. Also, my USB ports seem to go off at the same time (USB keyboard won't respond.). When I plug the AC back in, they still don't work and I end up having to reboot. [18:19] PHEW [18:19] ZenMasta, cron will not be using your personal alias's or PATH variable. It has its own clean 'enviroment' (i think thats the right term) [18:19] almost destroyed my comp [18:19] there isn't a crontab for my user, but I thought if I just put it in the cron.hourly folder it would work [18:19] ZenMasta, check others in there. check that its executable. check its permissions and ownership.. (im just ticking off things to check) [18:20] done ZenMasta, thanks, but the next time instead of "/", say "directory" [18:20] Does anyone know how to _completely_ prevent swap from being mounted at boot? Adding noswap as boot parameter doesn't work. [18:20] i'm not so attentive, so.. [18:20] Callum that wasn't directed at you. [18:20] Dr_ it's owned by root, its writable [18:20] is it executable.. [18:20] Dr_Willis_TCL its a .sh [18:20] lojack, check /etc/fstab [18:20] ive not used cron in ages. :) im rusty withit. [18:21] lojack: comment out the swap in fstab too [18:21] being named. .sh does NOT make it executable. [18:21] sudo chmod +x whatever.sh [18:21] Dr_Willis_TCL yes, I've already done that [18:21] ZenMasta: the extension means nothing in Linux. Windows relies on the extension to tell it what the file is, Linux is smart and looks at the data [18:21] make a simple example to try the same thing, have it print a single line to a log.. see if that one works as a test perhaps. [18:22] or comap[re it to other cron hourely scripts and hope to find a differance. [18:22] do I have to have a crontab though or is having a link in cron.daily sufficient?

(Currently on 10.10) [18:27] Wickedspawn, as a test. try a older live cd. see if works/dont work. [18:28] Wickedspawn: Yes, what Action+Parsnip stated, I am thinking it may be a power saving program or setup causing it. [18:28] Wickedspawn, humm, do as Dr Willis said. [18:28] also test 11.04. if you could prove it only has issues with 10.10 that would help the bug reports [18:28] I haven't seen this on all computers I used (> a dozen) [18:29] Wickedspawn: You can always try to turn off the autosuspend manually for a device. Like if /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-3/power/autosuspend for instance belonged to your wifi, you could: echo "0" | sudo tee -a /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-3/power/autosuspend [18:29] I renamed my script to remove the extension and relinked it in /etc/cron.hourly I guess I'll find out if it works in 30 minutes [18:29] Does anyone know what option do I have to enable in ccsm in order to drag my windows?

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:31] [4-tea-2], one trick could be to copy the 'stanzas' that update-grub generates from the grub.cfg into the 40_custome file, and then disable os-prober. and edit 40_custome to not show what you dont want shown. === blackswan is now known as CignoNero [18:32] ill try them.. I will save the version hopping as a last resort. [18:32] Os-prober here just finds the same windows partitions.. so i dont even need it much :) [18:32] <[4-tea-2]> ActionParsnip: os-prober does not give any help and has no man page and nothing in /usr/share/doc. [18:32] but i dont add/remove new OS's that much. [18:32] <[4-tea-2]> Dr_Willis_TCL: that's a great workaround, but since I don't use the old windows anymore, I don't mind "disabling" it. I just don't want to lose access to the data on the partition. [18:33] [4-tea-2], i do think the grub2 forum thread. has some info on changeing that behaivor also. [18:33] [4-tea-2], you can still mount it.. grub just wont make an entry for it. [18:33] <[4-tea-2]> Dr_Willis_TCL: yeah, I understand, that's why I said it's a great workaround. I'm interested for the proper solution, though, if only out of academic interest. ;) [18:33] Wickedspawn, have you tried turning power saving off? [18:33] os-prober can get very annoying at times when it finds 5+ differnt OS's you happen to have on your portable flashdrive+usb hard drive, and so on,. [18:34] [4-tea-2], the other fix's ive sene would be editing the os-prober script with some if/then/ type of exceptions [18:34] <[4-tea-2]> Dr_Willis_TCL: if I knew how os-prober identifies a OS, I could just remove that bit of information for the old Win. [18:34] i wasthinking its just a rather complex bash script.. check it out. [18:34] <[4-tea-2]> Dr_Willis_TCL: ah, os-prober is just a script stanza? Then I'll find out. UTSL.

[19:18] what i am tryingto figure out is if i want to paste the output of the terminal to pastbinit [19:18] I have a question: If I use encrypted home and want to reinstall Ubuntu then how can I mount the earlyer encrypted home partition?

[19:20] GPatterson55: i dont know [19:20] llutz, got it thanks [19:20] Incarus6: What do I do to fix it? I'm relatively new to this. [19:20] GPatterson55: is it possible to cut off internet access from the vm manager? [19:21] @ruan, yeah, I should just try again with no network access? then add it back after install? [19:21] GPatterson55: yeah that should work [19:21] I want to load/require/include a file which is in the same directory as the script but I always get an error [19:21] "no such file to load -- stringutil.rb (LoadError) [19:21] from postprocessb.rb:2" [19:21] Delocated: this is an every day problem, i can't belive that there's no solution [19:22] @ruan, THANKS!!! I'll give it a try [19:22] Incarus6, what do you mean? [19:22] TechniCore, i never heard something about "mrextraproper" (no results in google), looks like a typo or something. can you paste the original argument which caused that issue (and some lines around)? [19:22] you can always just do ls -s DIR [19:22] and have it output it to DIRNAME [19:22] the read that [19:23] Depends on what it is you want to do [19:24] ruan : i need your help [19:24] Delocated: for example there's a big fileserver and i simply want to know how much stuff is in /pub/somedirectory [19:24] bassam: what is the problem now? [19:24] du -hs [19:24] Incarus6: If this is what you mean, http://pastebin.com/KU6zhQKC [19:24] ok i went to terminal and typed cd /home/bassam/Downloads/Wi-fEye-v0.5.6/bin [19:25] pm-hibernate refuses to work after an upgrade to 10.10; what's the solution?

[19:29] can i show you the instructions? [19:29] well, you need to follow the instructions [19:29] Seppman: if you're using ftp, « man ftp » claims to have a "size" command too.

I have no idea what you said before that :) [19:31] hi... I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 (installed long time ago 9.04 and kept upgrading), I'm using LUKS on my disks (except for /boot) and also have a crypted Swap (with random key upon each boot). The thing is: My Kernel is incredibly aggressive when it comes to killing processes... it's really a pain in the ***, because it ("preferred targets") frequently kills Opera and Pidgin === derp is now known as ` [19:31] madsj: Is the output of pm-hibernate: "pnp unregistered"?

Yes I had to add a repo, I don't remember which one.

[19:34] hi there [19:34] bassam: you seemed to have created a folder [19:34] hi there [19:35] Incarus6: there is no command called aptitude and no apt-get operation reinstall [19:35] TechniCore, aptitude can fix some things that apt-get can't, i recommend you to install aptitude [19:35] yeah sudo apt-get install aptitude [19:35] bullgard: I haven't noted it down, but I think so [19:35] Seppman, checked yafc? [19:36] maedox_: i give up, still won't work :( [19:36] okej [19:36] I srsly don't know why my kernel is so aggressive... when I now start opera I can almost bet, that I can at best open one new tab and then the kernel will kill it and when I come home from work, Pidgin often got killed in the middle of the day... or when I get up in the morning... yep, Pidgin is killed... [19:36] hey. i have deleted /etc/ssh/* and then: dpkg --purge ssh; afterwards apt-get install ssh but the directory /etc/ssh is still empty. any idea how i could fix that (it is a debian system but i guess it is very similar to ubuntu) [19:36] i think that ubuntu is crap [19:36] donnib: odd. is there no installation notes?

[19:42] TechniCore, also with --force-all? pls paste exact result [19:42] jrib: thanks that worked but dpkg broke with error 1 as it could not find /etc/ssh (i removed it) one the dpkg --purge step which keeps me wondering [19:42] does nobody have a clue what might cause all this problems?

[19:42] maedox_: sent u a link [19:42] maedox_: with the script [19:42] jrib: no it was apt-get install openssh-server which broke [19:42] donnib: seems simple enough. not sure why it won't work.

[20:24] Skullboy: Though there are too version, I took the recommened on. [20:24] two* [20:24] what problem are experiencing [20:24] KramB, define "not work" [20:24] donnib: that's for a system with a bit of ram to spare. Can also add: vm.swappiness=0 to the same file so your OS only uses swap if absolutely necessary [20:25] donnib, yeah...I would stick with CIFS, personally, then [20:25] Skullboy/drc: The effects like when you move your window it wobbles, mine does not wobble. [20:25] donnib, it's a much more compatible solution for all your windows users [20:25] !nvidia | KramB [20:25] KramB: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:25] dlynes; yeah that's what i thought [20:25] donnib, and as I had mentioned, it doesn't have as many security holes as nfs [20:26] what desktop envelopment do you use [20:26] dlynes: cool, thx for the advice [20:26] I use Xfce.

[20:27] KramB, As far as I know, COmpiz is GNOME only, won't work with XFCE [20:27] drc: xfce is the environment, when running compiz it takes over xfce's window manager [20:27] KramB: have you installed the nvidia driver? [20:28] drc: so really you'd basically be using xfce software inc panel with compiz window manager [20:28] aeon-ltd: Ah, so it does work with XFCE? [20:28] drc: and kde compiz works with kde [20:28] Action: Yes I have the recommened driver installed. drc: Are you sure? I was following a guide for Xubuntu. [20:28] drc: it wouldn't be xfce anymore but yes [20:28] Drc: you can use compiz on any DE. Its not gnome only [20:29] So I have just learned [20:29] Not that I want it :) [20:29] ohh duh did you type compiz --replace in the console [20:30] skullboy: Yes sir, I do believe I did.

[20:30] KramB: run: sudo apt-get -y install compizconfig-settings-manager and you will install compiz [20:31] Action/drc: If you two will please wait a moment could I have you look at the guide I followed?

[20:33] Kramb: did you run the command I gave? [20:34] ActionParsnip: Im currently running "sudo apt-get upgrade", so i think that might take a while. [20:34] Action: Could you hold on a moment?

[21:33] Firstly, http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [21:33] is Not Found [21:33] and secondly. My issue isn't how to use it..It's why it keeps rebooting even when I kill the process. [21:33] deft_n1x: does it have to be a web app? "apt-cache search network" will search for "network" in all packages in all of your configured (even local) repositories [21:33] what bittorrent client would you guys recomend? [21:33] Even after deleting crond.reboot [21:34] cosmo_: rtorrent [21:34] cosmo_: transmission [21:34] cosmo_, rtorrent or transmission [21:34] deft_n1x: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [21:34] bl4ckcomb: :) [21:35] Isonyx, why do you want to remove cron? is there just a cron job that is running that you want to get rid of? [21:35] cosmo_, Transmission comes with Ubuntu by default [21:35] oh didnt notice it there [21:37] maco: yes, i know it.. but if webapp exist i need to it [21:37] I don't want to remove cron. [21:37] I want to run cron. [21:37] See, when I do I get something like [21:38] Isonyx: cron always runs at boot [21:38] can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 688: Resource temporarily unavailable [21:39] cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 19216: Resource temporarily unavailable [21:39] why did Linus Torvalds say that Ubuntu is not "kernel developer" friendly? What particular thing did he want to refer to? [21:39] how do you delete files in jolicloud? [21:39] Something like that. I read on a linux forum that's it's something to do with the process. When I checked out the Cron process it's on a keep-alive system. [21:40] deft_n1x: wouldnt be that hard to write a python script that outputs some basic html and the output of the apt-cache command [21:40] In order to change the tray icon of gnome power manager, I know I have to change icon files in /usr/share. But how do I know which to change? 16x16, 22x22, 48x48, etc? Is there a config file I an look at to see what icon is being used? [21:40] No luck, its what i had before. Still no mobile device support [21:40] QuartZo: i suspect a kernel developer could better answer that than the general tech support peple here [21:40] maco: thnx :-) [21:41] nictrasavios: you were right to ask in #wine, it's certainly not a ubuntu issue === peregrinator_six is now known as Monarquista [21:41] ThinkT510, yes i know, but they are as active as a dead otter. [21:42] hello all [21:43] nictrasavios: if wine doesn't support it yet, then it doesn't support it yet, there's nothing we can do to help with that [21:44] question: does anybody know what intelligent life is for building the package for bashstyle-NG it is a required package is all i have missing to compile it [21:44] where can i get it [21:47] how should i biu drinks, and my wife wont be noticed? [21:47] how should i buy drinks, and my wife wont be noticed? [21:48] speedy: What are you trying to compile again? [21:48] I have a question on mdadm on Natty, is there a dedicated Natty channel? [21:49] !natty [21:49] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [21:49] In am trying to keep my computer for going idle after say 20 minutes so I can leave it to download something like a large file. How can I do this? [21:50] ThinkT510: thanks [21:50] BashStyle-NG i have everything on system to do compile but one rewuired says at top of script ./configure it says intelligent life not available [21:50] Hi there. Is there a way to connect to a secure (WEP) wireless network from command line without installing any additional apps? And how? [21:50] I really need this [21:51] |697: Why wouldn't you just be able to leave your computer and download the file? Is your computer hibernating or something after 20 minutes? [21:51] J697: try looking under the power settings [21:51] Why on system startup does Ubuntu 10.10 show multiple startups? [21:51] Fireblasto, yes exactly, well it shuts down actually and ThinkT510, I have but it still does anyway for some reason :| [21:52] tim: do you mean multiple kernel options? [21:52] J697, classic example of failure with that tab key ;) [21:52] J697: If it shuts down after 20 minutes, you probably have it set to do so in the power management settings. [21:52] bastidrazor: I have, at least, seven kernels on this thing [21:53] , [21:53] where can I find info on building packages for ubuntu? [21:53] Firefishe: in synaptic search for linux-image and uninstall the older kernels [21:53] J697: you sure you edited the right settings and applied them, there are seperate settings for battery and ac [21:53] bastidrazor: I'm not unaware of them. Fact is, I sometimes go back just to see what's changed ;). [21:54] hello all, got a problem I'm sure someone can solve in 3 minutes or less [21:54] !packaging | t_j [21:54] t_j: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [21:54] stiltzkin: I'll give it a go. === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [21:54] Firefishe: that is what the changelog is for [21:55] bastidrazor: practical testing, however, requires the original kernel...no matter, I usually delete, say, that two oldest after about 6 months. [21:55] ubottu: cool thanks [21:55] that two = "the last two" [21:55] Fireblasto, I meant more like, the screen goes black after about 5-10 minutes and I have to move the mouse or press space and enter my password, which is annoying, then after 30 more minutes it shuts down,and ThinkT510 I guess I'll look at it again [21:56] hi, I have a dual boot between win7 and ubuntu.. is it possible to make my windows home directory and linux home directory the same? i know i can access my windows files my mounting the partition and then navigating to them, but is it possible to make it so when i open "pictures" in ubuntu it will always show the same contents as opening "my pictures" in windows ? [21:56] Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old PowerMac G4, via the alternate install CD. Install went fine, but when X tries to start I get "Cannot Display This Video Mode" on my monitor [21:56] I suspect this is a framerate issue [21:56] guntbert: ah missed that it was you, thanks for the infor [21:56] speedy: Please don't file send me unless you tell me, in advance, what it is you're sending me, please. [21:56] s/r$// [21:56] oh come on, J697, that's twice, fix it or stop using the tab button [21:56] Yes I believe that is correct [21:56] t_j: no problem :) [21:56] daxol: symlink [21:57] Normally I'd edit xorg.conf, but that is apparently deprecated in 10.10 [21:57] tim: you can uninstall the older kernels if you don't want them. [21:57] Firefishe: sorry may i send the shot of compile so u can c thanks i promise its ok [21:57] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing as well [21:57] speedy: go ahead and re-send it. [21:57] ok [21:57] Fireblasto, I am afraid I don't really understand :\ [21:57] stiltzkin: you can still use a xorg.conf if you wish. [21:57] also xrandr just complains "Can't open display" [21:57] *what you about the tab [21:58] is it possible to put a delay in the crontab file ? [21:58] bastidrazor, I was just reading that...but I'm not entirely what goes in that file to begin with [21:58] i have a line launching a script but i want a delay of let's say 20 sec, is that possible ? [21:58] Firefishe : will it still compile u think [21:59] How do I uninstall the extra kernels? [21:59] J697, you are hitting the tab key on your key board to auto complete names, and it is highlighting me. Make sure you type out the right name and don't just type'fire' [21:59] lol [21:59] stiltzkin: just add what you need set. [21:59] speedy: I don't know if that is an actually-needed file. [21:59] tim: in synaptic search for linux-image [21:59] speedy: It may be a bit of linux-build humor [22:00] Thanks. [22:00] intelligent lift > not available [22:00] gads typos [22:00] tim: use your favourite package manager, look for linux-image and linux-headers [22:00] intelligent life > not available [22:00] tim: be sure to leave the current kernel alone. [22:00] bastidrazor, so just the "monitor" section I guess? [22:00] to uninstall extr kernels use ailurus to remove unwanted kernels [22:00] Fireblasto, oh lol I jjust noticed Fireblasto and Firefishe lol, sorry :) [22:00] One more question. I have a system that is hanging on the Ubuntu splash screen. How can I get around that? [22:01] J697, no problem, only problem is that it took 4 highlights on my nick :) [22:01] speedy: Well, all you can do is do `make' and see if it does [22:01] speedy: If it gives you an error, then you'll know. It doesn't sound like a library to me. [22:02] Firefishe: that is kinda what i was thinking its not needed i have installed it on 2 other machines never seen that b4 and they work fine compile on lucid box [22:02] Firefishe: thanks for the input and help [22:02] i will compile and c if works [22:03] I think that I ruined one of my partitions. I get "Press S to skip or M for manual recovery" at system start. Can you advise? [22:03] speedy: I'm using lucid, as well. That type of thing is kind of like kvirc: There's a place in the config-setup where you can compile the following: --with-pizza and --with-beer. All they do is start a small script that does nothing except say it's mixing and baking the ingredients and pulling a draght of your fav brew ;) hee [22:03] draught [22:04] speedy: Please tell me if it does. [22:04] :) [22:04] happy to help [22:05] ok thanks [22:05] tim retrieve any files that you need, and reinstall ubuntu. Simples. Unless you want to try a manual recover, which I don't know what it entails [22:06] speedy: Another clue is the line at the bottom of the configure script end: "We can't promise to not kill any kittens." -- Considering that part, I think the first part is a given ;) LOL [22:06] ya i saw that funny humor [22:07] Fireblasto: how does reinstalling ubuntu fix a busted partition that may not even contain the OS? [22:07] speedy: Just what is bashstyle-NG anyway? [22:07] bastidrazor, I was presuming it was the system partition [22:07] Fireblasto: possibly you should ask those sorts of questions before suggesting radical moves. [22:08] bastidrazor, yes, but only trying to help :) [22:08] its a bash addon for some nice effects to your existing bash and commandline [22:08] Fireblasto: give of the wall advice is not helping. [22:08] speedy: I'll look it up, may be interesting. [22:08] bastidrazor ? [22:08] speedy: If you need more assistance, and I'm here, please ask :) [22:09] ok thanks [22:09] yw speedy [22:09] Fireblasto: blindly suggesting to reinstall is _far_ from helping [22:09] http://www.nanolx.org/newsnanolx/bashstyle-ng#more-87 link to bashstyle-NG [22:09] bastidrazor, well it usually is fool proof, that's why I suggested it [22:10] Fireblasto: fool proof? that is the last solution to any problem. === LukasB_ is now known as LukasB [22:10] for everyone new to linux and a great tool try this for the ease of installing and running ur box makes things easy http://code.google.com/p/ailurus/ [22:10] bastidrazor, not in general, in relation to that problem [22:11] hello, I have a laptop w/ a recently broken screen that I wanted to turn into a file server; it is currently running ubuntu desktop and I was wondering if there was anyway to re-install the server edition over LAN? Also, I want the laptop to stay on with the lid closed, not sure how to do that at all. [22:11] I was going to suggest tim use the disk manager to check the disk if his system is up [22:12] Fireblasto: you don't even know what the problem was. you assumed. in the future determine the real issue before jumping to a conclusion [22:14] bastidrazor, and I know, I should of gathered more intel. The way in that you suggested that I was unhelpful was not friendly [22:14] morrisette: I'm no expert here, but for the hardware, you may have to find where the lid-switch is, and disconnect it, or remove it, altogether. That *might* work for keeping the laptop on. [22:14] ok did the ./make build no errors and then ./make install no errors [22:14] hrm, what do i do if i opened nautilus while running xmonad? it now just shows the wallpaper. and i can get a context menu. but i cant get rid of nautilus. or at least i dont know how [22:15] Wow loads of people in here :o [22:15] <[thor]> rumbold1: in a terminal --> ps -A | grep nautilus [22:15] yep, no help yet though :( [22:16] hello, I have a laptop w/ a recently broken screen that I wanted to turn into a file server; it is currently running ubuntu desktop and I was wondering if there was anyway to re-install the server edition over LAN?

I use aptana studio 3 (standalone version), I have it extracted to a "bin" dir in my home directory... I've made a launcher to it and docked it onto my docky launcher.... but the launcher doesn't grab the window and it always sits on the bar for unmanaged windows... anyone ever experience this?

I have pasted the problem here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [22:24] that will copy recursively a single directory to multiple destinations simultaneously [22:24] guntbert, were you saying you know bash scripting? [22:25] TobalJackson: in that case you would get better support in #bash, I guess :-) [22:25] ooh! [22:25] thanks guntbert [22:25] daxol: you can set the partition to be automatically mounted at boot [22:26] dlynes: what package is that? (just curious) [22:26] So, if xorg.conf is gone, where does Ubuntu store display information [22:26] how does linux work out with raid? [22:26] Good night peeps [22:26] dlynes: You must be very very careful about this type of thing, but you can use (and please read the man page for dpkg before doing this): `dpkg -i --force-architecture packagename.deb (or something like that). Again, read and check before doing it. [22:26] guntbert, creepy [22:27] are there any problems that can occure there? [22:27] Firefishe: sage advice [22:27] Mission_Control, it works just fine with raid [22:27] ok [22:27] all I wanted to know [22:27] Blue1: I've done that before, and had a few problems with weird libraries ;).

[22:28] ok [22:28] cause I just thought it being more of a hardware thing [22:28] dlynes: then I suggest you ask the maintainer of that ppa [22:28] i am having a hard time updating anything [22:28] I just wondered if there might be any problems when it comes to ubuntu and raid [22:28] Blue1: You know, my Asus G50V lappie here *does* have lightscribe, but I've never tried it. [22:29] when installing a new server, what is "Landscape"? in regards to automatic updates [22:29] Mission_Control, a lot of software that the average person doesn't use can have lots of problems [22:29] rww, what is the logic behind that? So if the display is detected incorrectly, I can't make any changes to correct the problem [22:29] Mission_Control, are you talking about hardware-based raid specifically? [22:29] Mission_Control, or are you talking pure software raid? [22:29] Firefishe: I had to retro that onto a 64 bit system. it works well as long as you install the ia32 libs. [22:29] Mission_Control, or are you talking more winraid? [22:30] t [22:30] It seems such a simple problem if I was a techy I am sure a few keystrokes and it would be solved...http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [22:30] stiltzkin: If you create an xorg.conf with the configuration settings you need, it'll read that instead. === lkd is now known as emrebey [22:30] I really don't know [22:30] Mission_Control, how were you planning to implement raid? [22:30] I have no experience with it [22:30] Blue1: I'm using 64bit ubuntu 10.04. Also *with* the ia23libs installed. A lot of software needs them, so I just put 'em in when I install a new system. [22:30] but when I do I want to do it with both windows and ubuntu [22:30] Mission_Control, ah...then what makes you think you need it? [22:31] faster connection === Axlin is now known as Axlin|AFK [22:31] Mission_Control, you mean faster throughput? [22:31] what is landscape? its in the installer, on the automatic updates screen [22:31] timmybobcat14: did you have anything important on your /home partition? b/c it sounds like a bad drive [22:31] Firefishe: yup. if not too personal where ru from? I'm in tucson, az [22:31] yeah [22:31] Mission_Control, so you don't care about data integrity then? Just pure speed? [22:31] Blue1: Let's take personal chat to query, k? [22:31] well [22:31] sure [22:31] I was thinking about raid 1+0 [22:32] Mission_Control, pure speed would be raid 0 [22:32] Mission_Control, pure data integrity would be raid 1 [22:32] that's striped raid [22:32] and then mirrored for raid 1 [22:32] Mission_Control, a nice mix of the two would be raid 5 === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [22:32] Mission_Control, however, for raid 5, you need at least three drives [22:32] inside-out-bunny is that another way of saying I need to reinstall it all again: I can access my home directory no problem. [22:32] it would be either 1+0 or raid 5 depending on whether I'll get a raid contoller [22:32] silly question, I can;t seem to mount my DVD drive after I've just put something in the drive -- what is preventing me from doing this ? [22:33] you need a raid controller for raid 5 [22:33] Mission_Control, you do not [22:33] dlynes is correct. [22:33] rww, that's what I did, but I'm not sure what the settings I need are. I tried a sample configuration that should be compatible with my monitor but I get "Fatal server error: no screens found" if I try to startx [22:33] Ok.. dumb question.. does the show desktop shortcut for anyone else but me default to plain letter 'D' ??? [22:33] Mission_Control, but, if you want the same data to be able to be read by both windows and linux [22:33] inside-out-bunny - I obviously doen't know how to check my permissions or would probably have solved the problem [22:33] by now [22:33] also, is this related to the fact that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now appears to do nothing? [22:33] Mission_Control, it doesn't matter raid 0, 1, 5, ..., you're going to need a raid controller card [22:34] that usually fixed all of my problems when I had display issues in the past [22:34] dlynes: there you are incorrect. [22:34] unless your motherboard supports raid [22:34] dlynes: you never *need* a RAID card. [22:34] it should do both raid 1 and 0 [22:34] Mission_Control: certainly not. you can do it all in software. it's just harder. [22:34] theorem, so how do you do software raid in linux that's compatible with windows? [22:34] hi all [22:34] How does one check one's "permissions"? [22:34] I don't know [22:34] dlynes: dlynes : not compat with windows. who runs that ? [22:34] it seems that landscape is for managing huge clouds of servers, is this true? [22:34] ;-) [22:35] "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present. [22:35] Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery" [22:35] Mission_Control, motherboard is still hardware raid (assuming you're not talking about intel bios raid aka winraid) [22:35] dlynes: Set up a software raid on a linux server, intstall samba, share volumes with windows [22:35] in the event that I can't use the two I'll just have to pick which operating system I want [22:35] you want linux. [22:35] !Linux [22:35] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel.

What do I need to install in order to enable synaptics multitouch? I am not interested in hacking xorg.conf (it crashes anyway), and I knew that some synaptics driver can deliver this function since I installed it once. [22:36] just a rediculous DVD drive problem ... [22:36] *ridiculous [22:36] Anyone heard anything lately about ZFS in Linux (if/when, etc)? [22:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [22:37] shawnboy: grab FreeBSD, it's supported now. [22:37] peter_felching, what OS and Version are you using? [22:37] shawnboy: ZFS on linux is done via FUSE [22:37] Fredrick, I am using regular 10.10 [22:37] ubuntu? or ubuntu server? [22:37] Surely someone must know the answer? [22:37] I've also had another question about hardware [22:37] Fredrick, desktop. [22:38] theorem: that's where I heard about it (I run FreeNAS), but I've spent 1.5 learning linux. I'm a dope with BSD. [22:38] It seems like a fairly simple and maybe common? problem [22:38] can you do raid between drives of different capacity? [22:38] this is ubuntu-server, for servers [22:38] good even ubuntu-ers. This is my first time using Ubuntu :) [22:38] before I ask my 9-million questions, first, let me ask....anything I should know? [22:38] shawnboy: it's very similar, you'll like 'ports' [22:38] Ah but is there a simple and common solution? [22:38] well, there is a first time for anything in live, suicidolt [22:38] suicidolt: Wow your first time using ubuntu and you found IRC too?? Congrats!! [22:38] NEVER use root, use sudo, suicidolt [22:38] Fredrick, I am not sure we understand each other.

No overheat with win7 [22:46] "Could not update ICE Authority file /home/myname/.ICEauthority" [22:46] timmybobcat14, the first thing I would attemtp is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:46] alberto: If you're using wine, anything like that is a crap shoot. Unless there's a specific project targeting that, I'm afraid I can't help you. [22:47] alberto: I've played around with linux-native stuff for VST, but never using wine for something like that. [22:47] coz- hi. So what is the distro upgrade-a download again of the lates kernel?? [22:47] Firefishe Are there any native VST instruments for linux? === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [22:48] Isn't apt-get --force-yes supposed to ignore dependencies? [22:48] alberto: www.linux-vst.com has some [22:48] dlynes: No. And it's not generally a good idea to use --force-yes or to try to ignore dependencies. What are you trying to accomplish? [22:49] is there any solaris room ? [22:49] Firefishe Are they really "instruments"? And above all, are they free? [22:49] olivier: try #solaris or any other strings [22:49] A friend of mine was talking about Apache Tomcat: gpmidi: hey guys, we put a webserver on your webserver so you can proxy while you serve [22:49] COZ_ - is that code for reinstall it all again (yet again?) : b [22:49] Jordan_U, install a package that says creepy: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, even though both python 2.5 and python 2.6 are installed [22:49] I found this funny. ( ;_;) [22:49] coz_ - is that code for reinstall it all again (yet again?) : b [22:50] timmybobcat14, no that will update or upgrade any libraries or packages for the system you have already [22:50] Jordan_U, and its dependency line looks like this: Depends: python (>= 2.5), python (<< 2.6), python-support (>= 0.7.1), osm-gps-map, python-simplejson, python-osmgpsmap (>= 0.7), python-beautifulsoup, python-pyexiv2, python-configobj, python-setuptools [22:50] alberto: some are, some aren't [22:50] alberto: some synth products have to be purchased. [22:50] Firefishe Thank you very much... By the way, check this out ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1s3Dk5sGo [22:50] alberto: Thank you, I will :) [22:51] dlynes: What is creepy? [22:51] Jordan_U, http://freshmeat.net/projects/creepy [22:51] coz_ ok I have just run update now. [22:51] Jordan_U, A research tool [22:51] Hi. What do I need to install in order to enable synaptics multitouch? I am not interested in hacking xorg.conf (it crashes anyway), and I knew that some synaptics driver can deliver this function since I installed it once. [22:52] Firefishe He gets that VST plug-in to work with Wine and dssi-vst... Although it seems to be very tricky... [22:53] coz_ - this is the result of sudo apt-get distro upgrade: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [22:53] First question, my touchpad no longer has multitouch. I found a website: http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html but it's greek to me [22:54] dlynes: I just tried adding the ppa on my 10.10 system and installing creepy has no dependency problem here. [22:54] alberto: is Addictive Drums windows software? [22:54] coz_ -maybe just the sudo apt-get update has done the trick (but I'm not too hopeful) [22:54] Jordan_U, yeah...trying to install it on 9.04 here [22:54] timmybobcat14, if it didnt update or upgrade anything then the issue probably isnt solved [22:54] dlynes: 9.04 is no longer supported. [22:54] !eol | dlynes [22:54] All wifi routers and accespoints are based on linux, right? Does anyonw know a way to turn your ubuntu pc in a wifi router or ap? [22:54] dlynes: 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 [22:54] Jordan_U, yeah...everyone keeps telling me that === gigi is now known as Guest55806 [22:55] Firefishe I think it is... Nevertheless, the user describes what he uses to get that working... And he says he's using Wine and dssi-vst [22:55] do i have to perfect my english ? cause no frenchy knows about zoning in solaris10 [22:55] coz_- not kidding. ha ha ha ha. What about the permissions route-do you think the solution might lie there? Oh if only I was a techy! [22:55] Firefishe Therefore Addictive Drums must be made for Windows / Mac platforms... [22:55] dlynes: That's because 1: You shouldn't be running an OS without security updates and 2: "No longer supported" means that we don't support it. [22:55] natrixnatrix89: Some are linux based, some are not. [22:55] timmybobcat14: still struggling with the .ICEauthority thing? [22:56] natrixnatrix89: using a linux pc as an access point is possible, but it depends on your hardware. [22:56] Jordan_U, w/o security updates is relative, considering it's on a closed network, without internet [22:56] dlynes: Why are you using 9.04 still? [22:56] ohzie: because some wifi cards don't support it? [22:56] dlynes: That still doesn't change point #2. We don't support unsupported releases. [22:56] Jordan_U, because the platform is stable on 9.04, and we haven't worked the kinks out of 10.04 yet [22:56] natrixnatrix89: Because the drivers don't support it [22:56] right [22:56] natrixnatrix89: any hardware is capable of it [22:56] it's the driver that's the difficult part [22:56] yeah [22:57] alberto: I'll peruse is a bit more. Now I'm interested. [22:57] but I've been searching for programs on ubuntu that would do it. but it seems impossible to find one.. [22:57] How can I fix my video playback on 10.10 ? It's a bit cropy at times, like 1/4 of the screen desyncs while the scene is moving [22:57] alberto: Also, for you--and all who are interested--here's the page for the product, itself. Might be useful. http://www.xlnaudio.com/?page=products&p_page=addictivedrums [22:57] Jordan_U, there's a few kinks with plymouth, gdm/xdm and 10.04 for our autoinstaller for pxeboot-based installs [22:57] dlynes: If you want to use 9.04 you're on your own. We can probably help you with getting the kinks worked out with 10.04 though. === Guest55806 is now known as giggino [22:57] Loshki- yes. Any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [22:58] natrixnatrix89: There are no one-click software suites. It takes some work and patience and a lot of learning. [22:58] Firefishe Thank you very much. [22:58] natrixnatrix89: here is a guide: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3463611/Build-A-Linux-Based--Wireless-Access-Point.htm [22:58] alberto: I absolutely love synth stuff. I'm a keyboardist, and I love pads, techno, and lots of new-age/dreamy stuff. I just wish it were a little easier to set up in linux. [22:58] is there a basic beginner channel that i can ask simple questions without looking dumb? [22:58] Jordan_U, yeah...unfortunately i'm not the one that gets to triage what's important and what's not for our product lifecycle [22:58] question_: this one [22:58] alberto: you're welcome. happy to help :) [22:58] ohzie: thanks but will it support infrastructure mode? [22:58] question_: Just ask. [22:58] don't worry 'bout looking dumb, just ask ;) [22:58] because ad-hoc is not recognized by many devices [22:58] natrixnatrix89: That depends on your hardware and what drive you use. [22:58] Jordan_U, upgrading to 10.04 is important, but it's about 30 tasks down from the top of the mole hill right now [22:58] "Could not update ICE Authority file /home/myname/.ICEauthority" [22:58] timmybobcat14: try http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/iceauthority-error-in-ubuntu-8-10-a-681312/ -- the post by arizonagroovejet is what I'd try next...

All very trying really ain't it with linux...: B === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay [23:00] Assuming /boot contains everything you need to get the os booting (grub included, I hope), how large does a partition have to be to contain it? [23:00] Jordan_U, ah...thought that was just a ubuntu policy, not necessarily a channel policy [23:00] timmybobcat14: either you like diy computing or you don't :-) [23:01] Zahrada: I shoot for 100MB usually. That gives it room for a few kernels [23:01] did anyone see my question? thanks [23:01] Thanks. [23:01] Loshki-Well I wouldn't buy a motorcar if I was going to have be diying it all the time. Would you? [23:01] question_: Not sure what you're asking [23:02] I'm really just starting to explore Linux (through Ubuntu), as my old platform just doesn't do the trick anymore (OS/2) [23:02] how do i go about joining c=a channel on the right side of this page. double click in the channel? [23:02] timmybobcat14: some people would buy a motorcar just so they could fiddle with it... [23:02] And I must say, it's awesome. [23:02] question_: what page [23:03] Hola alguien habla español? [23:03] !es | Thedemon007 [23:03] Thedemon007: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es.

[23:05] sorry xangua [23:05] naeluh: Ubuntu 9.04 reached end-of-life status in October 2010, and is no longer supported in this channel. Please see the EOL Upgrade information ubottu's about to send you.

I found a website: http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html but it's greek to me [23:08] hey i need help [23:09] does it matter if I am a server and not a computer?

[23:09] I was running SSH fine and after i stoped my apatche server i cannot ssh into my computer [23:09] I mean I am on a cloud server [23:09] Loshki-you mean like buying motor car that won't break down every 5 mintues or that you don't need a degree in mechinacal engineering in order to keep working. No no shame at all-common sense really at the end of the day. [23:10] naeluh: you're on a virtual machine [23:10] naeluh: no, 9.04 isn't LTS, so the end-of-life deadline is 18 months from release for server and desktop. [23:10] timmybobcat14: What were you doing with Ubuntu when it broke [23:10] Question: Say I have a file that has a bunch of multiple line records separated by '----'. Each record has a "Date=234343434323" line with an epoch timestamp on it. Is there any way that I can sort the records in this file by date (without having to write a perl script or such)? [23:10] rww: cool thanks [23:11] suicidolt: what part is greek? [23:12] dumb question, but can someone tell me if I installed 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu [23:12] here is my uname -a results, Linux oven 2.6.35-27-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 21:46:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux [23:12] oven_: looks 32bit to me [23:12] oven_, try cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:12] ohzie- is it broke? Isn't there a simple solution to the problem? I am after all using it to reply to you-albeit in limited failsafe graphics mode. I suspect the problem arose in my ham fisted attempt to manually install it on my hard drive. But of course Ubuntu was broke before I made that attempt but that again was something that I suspect could have been easily corrected if I paid an technician to come to my haouse and repair [23:12] it. [23:13] ohzie- http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [23:13] timmybobcat14: What I mean is, what is the problem that you are currently experiencing. [23:13] i am not able to ssh into a computer after i shut down the apatche2 server i had on that computer [23:13] ohzie- http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ [23:13] timmybobcat14: Hold please. [23:13] what am I looking for in those results? I know I have a 64 bit processor but I think the disc I just used might have been 32 bit accidentally [23:14] oven_ err I mean /proc/version [23:14] timmybobcat14: did you encrypt your home partition on install? [23:14] s5fs: what is it asking me to do? [23:14] no [23:15] ohzie - ha ha ha I wouldn't know how. Unless I did so by accident.

[23:15] timmybobcat14: It actually asks you "do you want to encrypt your home partition?" [23:15] k [23:15] timmybobcat14: it's very simple but can cause problems if your hardware hates it [23:16] timmybobcat14: what are the other sdb partitions doing? [23:16] oven_ that's a 32 bit kernel, same as uname -a I guess. [23:16] how do i redirect the terminals output to a txt file? [23:16] ozie-let me just start gparted... [23:16] yeah alright, thanks [23:16] timmybobcat14: for that matter, what is sda doing [23:16] suicidolt: well, first off, are you certain that your hardware supports multitouch? [23:17] timmybobcat14: is this a very complicated multiboot? [23:17] yes, it was working in windows [23:17] oven_ if it was 64 bits, it should say something like i686_64 at the end of the uname -a line [23:17] suicidolt: okay, but it hasn't worked in linux so far? [23:17] it didn't work automatically, but that seems standard === Guest73751 is now known as DarkDevil [23:18] oven_: here's my uname -a, i'm a 64bit system [23:18] oven_: Linux zoidberg 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux === DarkDevil is now known as Guest73399 [23:19] suicidolt: okay, the article is essentially a step-by-step [23:19] ohzie - the machine has two hard drives: sda with linux mint 10, and this drive sdb which has Ubuntu 1004 and ubuntu 9.04 and a broken ubuntu 8.04 on it.

The 9.04 works very well with no problems [23:19] Ubuntu bug 1004 in Baz (deprecated) "UI request: baz mkdir" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1004 [23:19] suicidolt: you create a new file, paste the crap from the article into the file, save it, then run a command [23:19] thanks. I'm going to burn a new disc and reinstall I guess [23:20] right, I guess there's 2 concerns here on my end. 1: how do I do what it's telling me to do (where do I go, etc) and 2: what is it doing, so I don't mess up my system doing something I don't understand [23:20] suicidolt: ah, that's a better question :-D [23:21] timmybobcat14: Can you mount your home partition? [23:21] suicidolt: i'll be honest, i'm not exactly sure what is going on in the article, but i am willing to hazard a guess. [23:21] can we start with where I go to type in all that stuff? [23:21] suicidolt: it appears that you are creating some sort of policy file, placing it into a specific location, and then restarting the service that will read that config and enable multitouch [23:22] need ssh help [23:22] Murtoc: what's wrong? [23:22] ohzie- gparted is telling me mounted on /home [23:22] timmybobcat14: close gparted and open up a terminal [23:22] suicidolt: pathing is in the commands already. so, go ahead and open up a terminal and then paste in the first command (the gksudo gedit /etc/hal line) [23:23] ever sence my friend stoped my apatche server i cant ssh into that computer [23:23] ohzie- ok [23:23] ok, and that is creating the file? where is the file so I can find it later? [23:23] ohzie-opened [23:23] side note -- just found out where the terminal was [23:23] timmybobcat14: df -h [23:23] timmybobcat14: gimme the sdb7 line [23:24] suicidolt: here's the command, let's break it down: "gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi" [23:24] suicidolt: gksudo will enable your user to run as "root" [23:24] suicidolt: gedit is the text editor you will be using [23:24] so gksudo differs from sudo how? [23:24] suicidolt: beats me, can't say i use it [23:25] ohzie- /dev/sdb7 63G 251M 59G 1% /home [23:25] * suicidolt facepalms. [23:25] suicidolt: gnome toolkit [23:25] suicidolt: i'd say you can probably safely use regular sudo [23:25] suicidolt: it's graphical sudo [23:25] s5fs: in terminal yes but not in run [23:25] what does that mean ohzie? [23:25] suicidolt: look man, i don't admin gui systems, i don't know everything. [23:25] suicidolt: it means pictures [23:25] I know what graphical means [23:26] what is the difference between sudo and graphical sudo? what is its application? [23:26] suicidolt: sounds like its what you wanna do when you use "run" (alt-f2) [23:26] suicidolt: open a terminal and run sudo gedit. Then run gksu gedit. That's the difference [23:26] ohzie - sorry hadn't closed gparted /dev/sdb7 63G 251M 59G 1% /home [23:26] timmybobcat14: no that's fine [23:27] suicidolt: however, if you are running from a console then sudo is fine [23:27] ok, thanks [23:27] that makes sense now [23:27] ok [23:27] thanks s5fs [23:27] timmybobcat14: type "cd ~" and then do "cd .." and then "ls -o" [23:27] suicidolt: np. the last argument to the command is the full path to the file. [23:28] suicidolt: so, assuming you create the file, paste the stuff in and it doesn't work, i think you can just delete the file and restart hal [23:28] need ssh help [23:28] I'm thinking about switching to ubuntu. But are there any program for c++ programming ?? [23:28] quick question here... I been used to use Ubuntu 9.04, now I use Lucid.... is it better to stay on a LTS release or non LTS? [23:28] using* [23:29] ohzie - ok done that [23:29] sexysara: how long do you go between reinstalls? [23:29] timmybobcat14: give me the line for your home directory [23:29] thebigham, , eclipse, netbeans, codeblocks... what do you need ? [23:29] this is my second install as it were [23:29] timmybobcat14: the front part is the important part, the letters and dashes [23:29] sexysara: LTS, if you update infrequently enough that you were still on Ubuntu 9.04. [23:29] thebigham: There are many ways to program in c++ using ubuntu. I use an IDE called Code::Blocks, for example. [23:30] what is a lamp server used for? i was told i should add it to my desktop insta [23:30] ohzie - drwxr-xr-x 30 mal 4096 2011-03-15 23:02 [23:30] install** [23:30] I sued 9.04 of 2 months, then I did a clean install for Luicd.... not sure if I should stay here or upgrade to Mavrick [23:30] used* [23:30] timmybobcat14: the first char determines what the file is. - for a regular file, d for a directory, other things for other things [23:30] Fredrick: lamp is a web server [23:30] Fredrick: it stands for "linux, apache, mysql, php" === s5fs is now known as s5fs_away [23:30] can anyone help me with ym ssh problem [23:30] hey guys [23:31] hi [23:31] to run windows games what's better, wine or virtualbox? [23:31] oh, why would i want that in my desktp, and not a server? thanks s5fs [23:31] timmybobcat14: the next characters come in three sets of three, read, write, and execute. the first set is you, the second is your group, the third is everyone else. the last character is the sticky bit. Don't worry about the sticky bit until later. It's complicated and varies from flavor to flavor. [23:31] you guys are useless [23:31] Fredrick: helpful if you are doing local web development [23:32] Can Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit support 6GB of RAM? [23:32] Counterspell: no [23:32] Counterspell: I mean it'll run, it won't break [23:32] Counterspell: but it won't use all your ram [23:32] Counterspell: With PAE, which is enabled by default if it detects you need it, yes. [23:32] ohzie, that's what i thought, why is 64-bit "recommended"? [23:32] !pae [23:32] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [23:32] Counterspell: so you can use all your ram [23:32] Counterspell: Duh. :-P [23:33] Counterspell: 32-bit is recommended on the Downloads page because a lot more consumer computers support 32-bit than 64-bit. [23:33] ohzie, no i mean 32-bit lol sorry [23:33] Counterspell: if your computer works with 64-bit, get 64-bit. [23:33] i see [23:33] Counterspell: Oh because 64 bit introduces some complications. [23:33] thanks for the info [23:33] i am currently running 10.04 64-bit [23:33] Counterspell: not all apps have working 64 bit builds. [23:33] but i am having trouble with Wacom drivers [23:33] Counterspell: don't switch to 32 unless you have problems [23:33] Counterspell: and even then, there are ways to run the 32 bit apps in a chroot [23:33] Counterspell: with 32 bit libraries [23:34] Counterspell: and if you're willing to put up with that, it's so much better for your system to run 64 bit. [23:34] which Xorg comes with 10.10? [23:34] timmybobcat14: do me a favor [23:34] timmybobcat14: you're still in /home right? [23:34] ohzie - ok em does it look like I have the 3 sets of three there. I also have a lost + found folder for some reason in this home directory. Is that usual? [23:34] ohzie- yes still in home [23:35] timmybobcat14: yes [23:35] timmybobcat14: the lost and found is normal because you've set your home aside as a separate partition [23:35] timmybobcat14: every partition should have its own, more or less [23:35] ohzie - ok. What do you want me to do? [23:35] hi i need help, how can i active extra visual effect ? [23:36] to run windows games what's better, wine or virtualbox? [23:36] timmybobcat14: sec [23:36] I want to make sure I have this exactly right [23:36] somebody help me? [23:36] ohzie- that's important : b [23:37] timmybobcat14: and your home folder is /home/mal ? [23:37] ohzie- correct [23:37] please help me... [23:37] grrrrr... [23:37] !helpme [23:37] Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [23:37] timmybobcat14: "sudo chown -R mal:mal /home/mal" then "sudo chmod -R 770 /home/mal" [23:37] timmybobcat14: that will fix any permission issues you might have [23:38] timmybobcat14: and I think you have an ownership issue on your home folder [23:38] <[thor]> dacaro: what brand of video card do you have?

[23:45] !emerald [23:45] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [23:46] <[thor]> dacaro_: video card might not support 3D acceleration [23:46] ohzie- I seem to have 2 lines here ... [23:46] timmybobcat14: AHH!
