I'm not aware I have all those. I did have debian mint and linux mint installed but removed the Debian mint. I then installed Ubunyu 8.04 and finally now ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu 9.04 has been on here most of the time. [00:03] 10.04 portuguese [00:03] hmmm same here.... are you using Compiz and Emerald by chance? [00:04] oooh , not English huh haha, I gotcha [00:04] this is my first time in irc [00:04] timmybobcat14: when I asked you what the other partitions on your system were, I counted five different linux installs.

[00:07] tchqvolo: There are some windows rsync clients. :/ [00:08] tchqvolo: I've never had to use them. [00:08] ohzie-I was actually using the previous kernal of ubuntu 10.04 which you just so kindly helped me to fix but the latest kernel still has the problem. [00:08] why does split4g still "copy files" even if there are no 4+GB files? [00:08] thx [00:08] timmybobcat14: oh if you're only getting that with that specific kernel then you need to switch to your old kernel [00:08] ok but how configure rsync in ubuntu serveur [00:09] timmybobcat14: and if you could file a bug report because a new kernel shouldn't do that at all [00:09] itilious, might be a bit-flip caused by Japan's radiation [00:09] So shall I copy and paste the steps you used here and if I can open the new kernel apply them there?

If I swap out from the inbuilt gigabit adaptor and try the 10/100 USB adaptor, it goes to 93.6Mbps both ways, any idea what's wrong with it?

[01:05] try installing ubuntu to that vbox using the same vbox settings to verify the HD works then [01:05] format120, if you tried it yourself, you would know that my iphone would not connect to itunes, since wine has no usb connections that are up to "non beta" quality, and i refuse to use beta technology for my buiness.

[01:06] format120, then i still require the entire CS5 collection to fully operate.

[01:13] i can conect to it localy and it is port forwarded properly but i cannot connect from outside my network [01:13] bitch [01:13] format120, i never said any before that last statement, but we run a RAID array of 100TB, configured with 7 motherboards, and 34GB of ram for each system. bassicly, it is 7 computers wired into one, that feed of a central database. [01:14] holy mother of god :) === Auv5 is now known as Guest27214 [01:14] Habstinat: I don't know much about Xubuntu [01:14] is Tux magazine a good reference source even though it hasn't published since 2007? [01:14] syrinx_: I'm not on Xubuntu? [01:14] for a newbie [01:14] that's one badass computer [01:14] oh, a cluster, cool nictrasavios, but still, you said you decompiled the .exe, how?\ [01:14] syrinx_: Ubuntu 10.10. [01:15] sorry, read that wrong === Auv5[Alt] is now known as Auv5 [01:15] Habstinat: do the TTYs work at all? [01:15] format120, We make software ourselves, i send it over to member #4 who is running windows 7 on his system, he has the full microsoft devel platform. [01:16] its not my job to know what his workings are. my job is the linux part, and since this computer is work, and personal, i needed my personal affects on it. [01:17] syrinx_: Just got it to work. Guess second time's the charm. Thanks for your help anyways. [01:17] ahh, ok nictrasavios [01:17] Is there anything good about windows? [01:17] nope [01:18] well hardware/software support... due to the near monopoly they have in some markets [01:18] is there a way to setup my server so i dont have to do domainjoin-cli every time it reboots? [01:19] We have 2 who work on linux, i am the head of this partnership. 2 who work on Unix, and 2 who work on DOS , our head works on a master system , a cluster within a cluster, he operates all 3 at once, his is not connected to our cluster, but his assistant is. [01:19] nictrasavios: so why do you need to connect to an iphone so badly anyway? [01:20] music? :P [01:20] anybody want to recomend a wireless nic for me? internal === Guest30104 is now known as DarkDevil [01:20] and for a desktop [01:20] wireless is for lazy people :( [01:20] lazy and laggy :P' [01:20] hello =) === DarkDevil is now known as Guest38017 [01:21] natrixnatrix89, three reasons, 1) it is my personal phone, and this system is my personal system, we are to use them that way. 2) I enjoy developing for IOS in my spare time, and the thrid, we are currently exploiting it, we pass on exploits we find to the dev team know as "Chronic Dev Team" [01:21] yep, like my dad, whos wireless card just died [01:21] has anyone seen this error before? (Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw for module r8169) i cant seem to find any solution on google. [01:21] format120: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/category/NETWORK [01:21] thanks [01:21] format120: You're welcome. [01:22] The SHAtter exploit was found by us, but we leave our name out, giving credit to whoever wants the heat. The S, in shatter is Savios. The other 2 i am not at my liberty to say [01:22] Is there finally some good video editing software on ubuntu? [01:22] because previously all the ones I tried didn't work really well [01:22] We are a group of white (hmm... maybe grey, but we call ourselves white) Hats. if you dont know what that is, you have no need in knowing. === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [01:23] !ot | nictrasavios [01:23] nictrasavios: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:23] hello, I have a problem that I cannot find an answer for. Please help me... I have a desktop that has a wlan0 interface (192.168.1.0/24), which connects to my ISP's router and to the Internet. I also have an eth0 interface (10.0.0.0/28) that connects to a Cisco Terminal Access Server (I have a small rack of routers and switches). The problem is that when I use the wired connection, even though the wireless connection does not go do [01:23] wn, I'm not able to browse the Internet and I can't understand why [01:23] Oh, sorry i forget myself. If anyone wishes further information , private message me. I shall be off now. but i shall remain online for those curious. [01:24] gabe_: have you set the right gateway for cable connection? [01:25] Oh and jordan, i am about to PM you. [01:25] gabe_: You can only (easily) have one default gateway. My guess is that someting on the ethernet network is advertising a default gateway (and wired networks are by default prefered over wireless). [01:25] you can chat in IRC but not browse? [01:25] whta is your default gateway gabe_ [01:25] natrixnatrix89: thanks for responding,. The configuration on wlan0 is 192.168.1.2/24 gw: 192.168.1.1 and for eth0 is 10.0.0.2/28 gw 10.0.0.1 [01:26] and is that the address of your router? [01:26] gabe_: Setup a static connection for eth0 with no default gateway. [01:27] when I plug my terminal server to eth0, botwh wlan0 and eth0 show as up and I can even ping the IPS's router at 192.168.1.1 but I can't browse the Internet unless I unplug the wired one [01:27] eth0 without gw? [01:27] let me try that :) [01:27] erik333: right now eth0 is down, otherwise I'll lose connection === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [01:28] if you see me getting disconnected, it's because eth0 is coming up... let me try what Jordan said though. I'll be back if I'm cut off [01:28] is anyone else having problems with linux-firmware 1.38.5? [01:28] it should work [01:30] Jordan_U, you receved my messages? [01:30] nictrasavios: Yes. [01:31] anyone know a good application for ubuntu 10.10 to stress test my CPU? [01:31] i can't connect to the transmission-daemon using a browser now, how should I troubleshoot? [01:31] i just O.C.ed it to 4.02 wanna see how stable it is on linux side [01:31] Jordan_U, i am quite serious, if anything comes up, you have my loyal hand, my word, and my honor within your grasp. as dose the entire community. [01:33] illmortal, try the disk utility. Its within the system > Administration . it will benchmark your system [01:33] disk utility?.. [01:34] that's just for HDD, isn't it? [01:34] I went from ubuntu 10.10 to 10.04 and I always unplug my spair hard drive before I do so to prevent data loss and now I cant see my storage drive in ubuntu but it shows up in bios as plugged in. do I need to re mount it or regain permission or what? [01:34] I wanna measure out my CPU's performance and make sure it's stable [01:35] illmortal, yes it is, if your looking for ram speed and so on then i would push it, try some video editing software ;) they tend to put your CPU into overdrive. [01:35] illmortal, but i am sure there is a proper benchmarking utility, as i have never had need, i have never looked, but i shall now for you. [01:36] !info cpuburn [01:36] cpuburn (source: cpuburn): a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4-40 (maverick), package size 15 kB, installed size 112 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 hurd-i386 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64) [01:36] Jordan_U: it worked... thank you so much, I would have never thought about that [01:36] but why? I don't understand why omitting the gw for eth0 [01:36] illmortal, go to the software center, and search "benchmark" , there are 4 utilties that appear, the first is what you want, but i shall try it myself and make sure [01:36] gabe_: You're welcome. [01:36] can some one help me find a storage drive in ubuntu on a fresh install? not seeing it under places or computer [01:37] ok, i'll check [01:37] gabe_: Do you understand what a default gateway is? [01:37] nelliee, Look in computer [01:37] I sure do, but I'm thinking each interface belongs to a different network (192.168.1.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/28) [01:37] so each one has their own gw right? [01:38] edbian, i cant find it in computer or in places [01:38] at least that's what I thought [01:38] gabe_: Routing tables are per host, not per interface. [01:38] illmortal, yes this is what you want, it provides all the information you could ever want :) [01:38] nelliee, What is it? HDD via USB? [01:38] ok ^^ [01:38] oh I see... that's why. Thanks for the explanation :) [01:39] gabe_: If an application tries to access ip address 8.8.8.8 the OS needs to know which interface to send the packet to. [01:39] haha..... 35697mb , 1645 used.... ram overkill. [01:39] edbian, it is ide and I unpluged to reinstall ubuntu and then pluged it back in and turned pc on . it shows back up in bios and post but not in fresh ubuntu install now [01:39] hmm... that cannot be right... [01:39] nelliee, Does it show up in sudo fdisk -l ? [01:39] anyone use dosbox [01:40] edbian, ill check [01:40] brand new ram chips, should be either 36000mb or 36864mb .... [01:40] How can I change the size of Docky? Instead of being like all across one side, like in the middle of it. [01:40] bah.. that will bug my ocd, i know why... just... bah. [01:41] goodbye everyone and thanks a lot Jordan_U and all those who responded to my issue :) [01:41] edbian, yes it show my 120 gig for os and my 250 gig of storage [01:41] gabe_: You're welcome. [01:42] nelliee, What devices are they? /dev/... ? [01:42] hi, im excecuting a script as root (automaticly executing when i insert a usb) my script works perfectly fine but i cant run any X application from inside the script, can anyone help me? [01:42] syrinx_: Just rebooted and now I'm having the same problem. Odd. Ctrl-Alt-F1 does nothing. [01:43] edbian, http://pastebin.com/RijHnwKM [01:43] nelliee, reading... [01:43] edbian, it is the 250 gig drive [01:44] Anyone know how to prevent against failed updates? [01:44] edbian: Weren't you the one that helped me when I had to add nomodeset via chroot? [01:44] Habstina1, perhaps [01:45] edbian: I posted a video on YouTube of my problem? I say this because I happen to have a very similar problem with a different computer today. [01:45] nelliee, sudo mkdir /mnt/storage/ && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/storage [01:45] Habstina1, I don't think I was the one that helped you. Can you link the video? [01:46] Ah, hallelujah. one or two little bumps since, but windows installed in record time. [01:47] I am now able to operate my personal affects, and now A. is looking into doing the same for the other 7 computers, allowing the to virtualise the other 2 OS they do not run. More compadability. Thank you all [01:47] edbian: Except, this time it's on a Pavilion dm4, and the LiveUSB installation worked fine, but when I try to boot I get no screen output and Ctrl-Alt-F1 does nothing (that I can see). The OS is still running though; I can hear the startup sounds and when I blindly type in my password to log in after a few seconds I hear the login sound. The display on my LiveUSB works fine and we can use it to make changes. [01:47] I owe you all a good debt, if you ever need anything, and i do mean anything, from legit to shady, i am here for you all. Thank you and have a great day. [01:48] I will be sure to provide ubuntu,virtual box, xchat and gnome with a sizeable donation. [01:48] Habstina1, Does the laptop have an nvidia graphics card? [01:48] Good day. [01:48] edbian, do I need to reboot to see it cause It still is not showing up yet [01:49] Habstina1, How early does the screen go black? [01:49] nelliee, Go to /mnt/storage using nautilus [01:49] nelliee, nautlis /mnt/storage [01:50] ello people [01:50] edbian, thanks I can now see my stuff there. will it show up in computer or places after reboot though [01:51] edbian: I don't think it had a nvidia grapgics card, and the screen goes black very early in the boot process, before any Ubuntu-related text is outputted on the screen. === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [01:51] nelliee, I should. I don't know why it didn't. All I did was mount in manually. If it doesn't start showing up after reboot come back in here and pastebin /etc/fstab [01:51] Habstina1, Before grub? [01:52] Habstina1, Press shift a whole bunch while the machine is booting, right after BIOS post [01:52] edbian, thanks so much for your help . ill reboot and see [01:52] nelliee, No problem [01:52] edbian: I'd say so considering I tried bashing both Control keys during boot and I didn't see anything. [01:53] Habstina1, you press shift key to get the grub menu. Mash on those during boot. The grub menu should work regardless of this problem. We just have to get it to show up. [01:53] edbian: Here's the card: 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5450 switchable graphics [HDMI, VGA] [01:53] Habstina1, Then you can add 'nomodeset' at the grub menu and boot and fix normally [01:53] Habstina1, That's strange usually ati cards don't have this problem... [01:54] Habstina1, Try booting while mashing the shift key [01:54] edbian: Alright. [01:54] is there an issue normally with ubuntu like sluggish behavior if we have not shut down the sytem for like a couple of days? [01:55] digirak: nop [01:55] digirak, shouldn't. Check the output of top [01:55] edbian: top? [01:56] edbian: Just got into GRUB. [01:56] open xterm, enter top [01:56] digirak, It's a command. Run it in the terminal. It's like a cli task manager [01:56] I'll try adding nomodeset [01:56] Habstina1, aweosme [01:56] Is there an update that removes all Ubuntu Branding? [01:56] rekenber, Nope [01:57] edbian: is there something I should look for on this [01:57] it says one zombie process [01:57] it will show you all the processes running digirak [01:57] edbian: Added nomodeset to the very end of my first boot sequence and it didn't seem to change anything. [01:57] hiexpo: yes i see that [01:58] digirak, kill that process [01:58] Habstina1, Mmm, hang on I'll research [01:58] edbian, after reboot I still have to /mnt/storage to see and now it dose not show the files inside the folder. no errors or nothing just blank [01:59] Habstina1, Did you install the proprietary fglrx driver? (Try booting into recovery mode, it's an option in grub) [01:59] nelliee, Does the drive show up in computer or places? [02:00] edbian, no [02:00] nelliee, lemme see /etc/fstab in a www.pastebin.com [02:00] edbian: I installed a propietary driver right before I started having the problem. [02:00] edbian: Good idea. Trying recovery mode [02:00] Habstina1, We need to get that out of there. Boot into recovery mode. When you get to the option choose 'drop to a root shell' [02:01] If you want instructions for setting up any of this stuff on ubuntu, msg me.. stuff -> magizian.hopto.org [02:01] edbian: Wait [02:01] edbian: I see something [02:01] edbian, http://pastebin.com/8XdvLnUA [02:02] edbian: Seems like only the backlight of my screen is on. [02:02] edbian: how do i find the zombie process using ps? [02:02] magizian: Don't advertise in here, please. [02:02] brb [02:02] ps -a -A |more [02:02] edbian: In recovery mode, that is. I see some sort of list where the option changes when I press my arrow keys. I can't read it. [02:02] edbian: The brightness is very low. [02:02] rww, maybe you should see the stuff first rww. [02:03] it's not in the repositories.. ;-) [02:03] edbian: (This is all after I've booted into recovery) [02:03] magizian: I clicked your link before saying that. [02:03] name a service I have. [02:04] magizian: You need new webmaster, yours sucks [02:04] edbian: Very odd. [02:04] did you even enter the site? [02:05] magizian:Yes, too many screenshots [02:05] edbian: I was able to increase the brightness in recovery mode by using hardware buttons. [02:05] fn f11 ;-) [02:05] Habstina1, not that strange. Recovery mode is on a different video driver. Run this sudo apt-get purge fglrx [02:06] digirak, You find the zombie process is marked in ps [02:06] edbian, sorry did you mean this one http://pastebin.com/pTaqPjM5 [02:06] nelliee, reading... (that's the correct one) [02:06] anyone know where the source code to npkg is? [02:06] edbian: Alright. That command finished. [02:07] nelliee, Very odd. I don't see anything about the drive in /etc/fstab. I don't know why it's not being mounted. ADd this to the end of that file: '/dev/sdb1 /mnt/storage ntfs-3g default,user 0 0 [02:07] nelliee, Re-pastebin when it's entered so I can check if it's right [02:08] Habstina1, Did it remove anything or did it say 'no package found' ? [02:08] edbian: found it but using the system monitor [02:08] magizian, apt-get source npkg [02:08] i killed the process at terminal [02:08] digirak, Then kill it using that [02:08] digirak, Did killing it fix the problem? [02:08] but the process still shows up on the list of process in system manager [02:09] ty edbian.. where will apt-get put it? [02:09] digirak, do this: kill -9 [02:09] actually the problem came up when downloading a file to a disk [02:09] yes [02:09] magizian, In the current working directory) [02:09] great. [02:09] digirak, use kill -9 [02:09] magizian, Glad I could help! [02:09] edbian: It removed the package, but after rebooting I'm getting the same problem. [02:09] edbian: yes i did that [02:10] and another reason to use Linux. I just overclocked my CPU (E8400) to 4.0Ghz and it's running stable thus far.. in fact processor is @ 26 Celcius. While on Windows 7, as soon as I tried to log in.. my computer crashed. [02:10] Microsoft for the loss. [02:10] edbian: I think my boot command still has nomodeset in it, would that matter? [02:10] Habstina1, It wouldn't have saved the changes and it shouldn't matter [02:10] edbian: still shows up [02:10] illmortal, WMHT.. [02:10] WMHT? [02:10] digirak, Look at this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/killing-zombie-process.html [02:11] Habstina1, boot into recovery mode again [02:11] How does chrome 64bit work in ubuntu? is the flash player working in it? [02:11] Habstina1, I'm looking something up [02:11] edbian, it would not let me save [02:12] !chromium [02:12] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [02:12] nelliee, You needed to open it with gksudo... e.g. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [02:12] z64 might come out this year. [02:13] chromium is to recomend? [02:13] Habstina1, what version of Ubuntu is this? [02:13] edbian: it says that kill -9 does not guarantee kill of the zombie process [02:14] top, k, pid, 5 [02:14] will kill anything. [02:14] edbian: 10.10. Downloaded it today. [02:14] digirak, Yes. I thought it would go into more detail but it apparently does not. Hang on [02:15] <[thor]> digirak: if the process is associated with another process, you need to kill the parent [02:15] edbian: u sure the zombie processes are the issue [02:15] <[thor]> digirak: a zombie, that is [02:15] lo [02:15] [thor]: yes i dont think they have the parents its some random shell process [02:15] whenever I kill the parent in nix, the children stay open and vise versa.. [02:15] digirak, Not entirely but you shouldn't have them anyway. To kill the zombie you have to kill the parent. What is the name of the zombie process? [02:15] edbian: sh [02:15] digirak, More directly your machine is slow because of some process taking up a lot of CPU time. You can see what is taking up the most time using top [02:16] digirak, killall sh [02:16] digirak, (that might kill your terminal) [02:16] edbian, im useing gedit and its not letting me save after pasting it in [02:16] edbian: yes [02:16] hold lemme try that [02:16] nelliee, did you gksudo gedit ? [02:16] edbian: na doesnt work [02:17] I was a bit suprised to find the threadded processes stay open when I kill the screens. [02:17] Habstina1, Run this: sudo apt-get purge fglrx [02:17] ? [02:17] linuxoutlaws [02:18] where can I download the ubuntu beta version [02:18] Habstina1, (just to make sure) then run this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon [02:18] sudo get me a girlfriend [02:18] digirak, The best way to kill the process is to restart ;) [02:18] etzerd: /join #ubuntu+1, read the channel /topic. [02:18] digirak, Guaranteed to work [02:18] edbian: yeah i thought as much [02:18] magizian: is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [02:18] hey everyone, New question... are there any preferred guides for ubuntu server 10.10? A little gem that you found very useful floating on the net? [02:18] edbian: I already ran that. I'll run the other command now. [02:18] hwo do i query a process? [02:19] Habstina1, yeah I know you ran the first one once already [02:19] Habstina1, Run it again ;) [02:19] I just installed Ubuntu, and everything seems to work fine. The only problem is the volume control. It is as if the very first 1/20 of the volume control actually adjusts the volume....once i get past the forst part of the volume control, the sound never gets louder. it is as if 95% of my volume bar does nothing...the entire volume is controlled by the first 5% of the bar [02:19] lolz [02:19] lighta, Add pcm to your volume thingy and adjust that as well [02:19] rww: I have an new Sony VIAO i7 when I install the 10.10 it crash, there's no driver for video and the wireless card. the video card is a Nvidia 425 1GB of memory [02:20] lighta, (or use alsamixer in the terminal) [02:20] may I ask question about irc bot here? [02:20] ? [02:20] which wireless card? [02:20] van7hu: which one? [02:20] i'm using pulseaudio [02:20] etzerd.. [02:20] edbian, http://pastebin.com/Sjud5tQN [02:20] edbian: "package fglrx is not installed, so not removed" [02:20] lighta, run this in the terminal: alsamixer adjust those sliders there are more of them. [02:20] yes magizian [02:20] Habstina1, good... [02:20] rww: I just want to ask about schongo [02:21] which wireless car etzerd? [02:21] *card [02:21] edbian, what do you mean add PCM? The volume control works fine. I can mute and turn up volume like I want, but the problem is that the first 5 or 10% of the volume bar is the entire spectrum of raising and lowering the volume === Guest38017 is now known as DarkDevil [02:21] edbian: The latter is already the newest version [02:21] lighta, sorry your name auto-completed from l1ghtn1ng and I didn't notice [02:21] rww:how could I use it? === magizian is now known as superduperdude === DarkDevil is now known as Guest73671 === superduperdude is now known as Magizian [02:22] Habstina1, I'm not sure what the issue is then... :( [02:22] Habstina1, I'll research more... [02:22] ah ok I found that quite weird [02:22] l1ghtn1ng: do you have an amp attached? something external that would account for it? [02:22] l1ghtn1ng, try running alsamixer in the terminal and adjust those sliders. You'll see that more than one of them changes the volume [02:22] alguem aqui fala portugues? [02:22] lighta, haaha, sory [02:22] !pt | Bopruz [02:22] Bopruz: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [02:22] .. /encrypt #ubuntu kjfhuw9ehifeojiwe90 [02:22] van7hu: Try asking the developer or something. It's rather unlikely that #ubuntu would know. [02:23] edbian: FYI, now I'm not even hearing any sounds. [02:23] edbian, when i open alsamixer, when i move the first 5% of my volume control, it maxes at 100 or goes down to nothing. How do I make my volume abr the entire spectrum of PCM volume? [02:23] Habstina1, Well your at a cli right? What did you expect to hear? [02:23] edbian: This is when I'm booting up. The machine is humming, but I'm not sure what it's doing. [02:23] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10. I have an ubuntu box setup to only access the web(firefox) and only want two sites accessible. What is the route to accomplish this? Thanks! [02:23] l1ghtn1ng, Which volume control are you talking about? master or pcm? [02:23] I downloaded Avant Windows Navigator, how do I turn it on? [02:23] Habstina1, oh really.... no more login noises? [02:23] edbian: Before I was hearing the startup sound. [02:24] but if your not ssh connected to the server and irc from there (or ssh tunnel using same server) /encrypt is worthless. [02:24] edbian, lol do we all have you multi tasking or what [02:24] almoxarife, no i do not. I have my PC outputting to a receiver, but in windows there is no issue. [02:24] Habstina1, mhmm, progess... sort of [02:24] edbian: Yup. [02:24] felixsulla, prefs, awn.. its right there [02:24] nelliee, I'm doing alot. What cause your errors from this pastebin? http://pastebin.com/Sjud5tQN [02:24] Habstina1, boot into recovery mode. and pastebin the output of this: dmesg [02:24] and you'll want to run private encryption over the SSH + SSH cipher. [02:24] edbian, Indicator applet on my start bar uptop is what i use. The first 10% of that indicator volume bar controls 0-100% of PCM [02:24] Habstina1, Then run sudo gdm in recovery mode [02:24] Bing0: Do I have to reboot after? [02:25] toast [02:25] felixsulla, no. logout and log back in [02:25] l1ghtn1ng, open alsamixer and adjust those sliders. [02:25] felixsulla, you rarely need reboots with linux [02:25] toodles.. [02:25] edbian, I saved the file after copying the stuff you said and saved [02:25] l1ghtn1ng, alsamixer in a terminal that is [02:25] hi, I dont have a /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss and need it to play quake3. Anybody knows howto getit? [02:25] Bing0: Another stupid question, how do I logout? [02:25] * Magizian at magizian.hopto.org vanishes. [02:25] nelliee, the file is being saved, it's freaking out about the entry we added I think... [02:25] felixsulla, click the power button in the corner [02:25] take the word 'user' out of there [02:26] alsa-oss is already the newest version [02:26] Bing0: Do you know how to disable the normal Ubuntu tray after activating Avant? [02:26] edbian, yes when i have alsamixer open, and adjust the volume bar on the indicator applet, it moves the alsamixer PCM bar up and down like I want. the problem is that only once I reach 10% of the indicator applet volume, it maxes the PCM @ 100%....i want them to be even. if i have volume at 50% on the indicator applet, i want 50% PCM [02:26] felixsulla, not offhand [02:27] been to long [02:27] l1ghtn1ng, Change the sliders in alsamixer using the up and down arrows. (I'm aware of the volumen increasing too fast, you don't have to keep typing that) I believe this is the route to fix the problem. :) [02:27] Habstina1, How's it going? [02:27] nelliee, How's it going? [02:28] edbian, http://pastebin.com/NWZWSLcJ [02:28] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10. I have an ubuntu box setup to only access the web(firefox) and only want two sites accessible. What is the route to accomplish this? Thanks! [02:28] nelliee, get rid of the comma after default and make it 'defaults' with an s [02:29] nelliee, Then try to save [02:29] edbian, i have adjusted the volume in terminal up and down and it does nothing :( the PCM still maxes out at 10% of my volume bar in the applet :( [02:30] l1ghtn1ng, So moving the pcm slider moves the master super fast? I'm confused... How many sliders do you have in alsamixer? Just one labeled PCM? [02:30] edbian, still the same [02:30] your card is probably too old like mine [02:30] edbian, It has 'master', 'pcm', 'front', 'surround', 'center' [02:30] nelliee, delete the whole line and save... [02:31] edbian, the applet only effects PCM and Master [02:31] tes heloo everybody [02:31] l1ghtn1ng, can you move master and pcm independently in alsamixer? [02:31] Bing0: you coould make all /bin and /usr/bin files set to not execute with chmod -x /bin/* ; chmod -x /usr/bin/* for the only two site you could setup iptables filter [02:31] edbian, ok done [02:31] http://funnycrave.com/ubuntu-introduction/9741/ [02:32] sacarlson, i fail to see how that can control what websites i want to access? [02:32] nelliee, all that line would have done is auto-mount the partition. I have no idea why it thinks an unpriviliged user was trying to mount. The file is run as root at boot time. [02:32] edbian, yes, btu no matter how i manually adjust in alsamixer, when i move the applet volume the first 5-10% maxes PCM volume, then master volume starts adjusting...the problem is master volume doesnt change anything, only PCM does [02:32] Bing0: iptables [02:32] sacarlson, or you mean config iptables to only allow that? oh ok [02:32] nelliee, You could write a simple bash script that mounts the partition. or just remember the command as a workaround [02:32] sacarlson, so far i found firestarter(firewall) that might deny all but approved hosts. [02:32] l1ghtn1ng, I can't figure out how to get it to automount right now. (I also don't know why it isn't automounting) [02:33] edbian, moving my master volume up and down does not effect my volume at all [02:33] edbian, well it now dose not show any files in it when I go to it in nautilus [02:33] Bing0: I just create iptables scripts but firestarter might work also [02:33] edbian, moving my master volume up and down does not effect my volume at all [02:33] sacarlson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510 <--- just found this too :) [02:33] l1ghtn1ng, I see. Perhaps there is a setting in the volume applet up top for what it controls? Dig around it's settings for me. (I'm not on an Ubuntu machine) [02:33] nelliee, You have to run 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/storage' then it will [02:34] nelliee, Get your terminal out of /mnt/storage/ if it's in there [02:34] edbian, if master volume is at 0% or 100%, doesnt matter ebcause it doesnt effect my volume :) only PCM effects the volume.... [02:34] l1ghtn1ng, The slider should change master. Obviously master should be master. PCM is usually never changed [02:35] l1ghtn1ng, Yeah, I know. Try messing with the GUI of the audio applet to make it control master (that might given Ubuntu a hint) [02:35] edbian, well then the problem then is that master volume does nothing on my machine :) [02:35] l1ghtn1ng, Yes. That's a much deeper problem [02:36] edbian, if manually setting the master volume does nothing, why would i want to link my applet to it? i just want my applet bar to match the PCM volume :) [02:36] anyone got time to maybe walk me through a small problem im haveing "i wanna in gnome extract a file to a folder that contains "openarena" but it says i dont have the right file permissions" how do i go about getting them and could ya help me with the extracting see the trouble is i need sudo but i dunno know how to extract/unzip through the terminal. anyone help ? [02:36] Bing0: that sounds like they just want to take out a few sites you want to take out all but two, seems like there would be an easier way for you [02:36] edbian, cool that lets me browse the files on that drive so I just got to figure out how to get ubuntu to mount it auto mount it at boot ? [02:37] sacarlson, all i want is two websites(gmail is one of them) accessible, the rest are denied. [02:37] l1ghtn1ng, Perhaps matching the applet to master will give Ubuntu a clue [02:37] sacarlson, if you think iptables is the route to go based on my needs then let me know a recipe :) [02:37] Bing0: they all use iptables just a different user interface [02:38] nelliee, BAsically. and /etc/fstab is how to automount. ntfs partitions are tricky though. REad this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [02:38] sacarlson, such GUIs, yeah i assumed so. === black is now known as Swerve__ [02:38] anyone know if there's a cb0t chat client for ubuntu? [02:38] need root while in gnome any ideas ? [02:38] edbian: Sorry, have to go. This is a bad time for that, I know >.< Hopefully we can continue this later when I'm free, probably two days from now. Thanks for all your help. [02:38] dustin: I like gui also, consider adding to nautilus a plugin that allows you to open admin folders with admin rights [02:38] edbian, thanks [02:38] Habstinat, good luck! :) [02:38] nelliee, no problem [02:38] Hello,Everyone! [02:38] <[thor]> dustin: use "sudo " [02:39] Weird question, for a weird scenario... I have a Maildir inbox with 19000 messages in it. I need to spam filter it as I know it has spam in it. [02:39] 2 questions: what back-up solution is typically preferred ..... and .... what is the preferred 'flash' solution ? 10.04.2 amd/64 [02:39] Any ideas how? [02:39] <[thor]> dustin: password required is _your_ user password [02:39] Bing0: try a few of them see if they do what you want. problem with gmail is that it might change it's ip so maybe you need to look at bind9 to make sure that the name goes to where you want [02:39] hmm how i use sudo thou see im very new to it and dont know alot of the commands [02:39] see i get the whole sudo ?but what command to unzip to a specific folder? [02:39] sacarlson, ok thanks. im thinking if i add hostnames(versus IP addys) that issue might not appear :) [02:40] Hello, I have a Myth setup on Ubuntu, I am using a HD-PVR with DirecTV, The HD-PVR seems to be configured because I can record video using "cat /dev/video0 > test.ts" the problem I am having is getting the live TV to show up in Myth, When I click on Watch TV, it hangs for a few seconds and drops right back to the main menu.....any help would be greatly appreciated [02:40] dustin, Ready for some permission fun? I can explain them too you [02:40] cryptodira: I am partial to dirvish for backups. Amanda is powerful but complex, bacula is great for backing up many machines.

My home have spare room to store things~~ [02:40] dustin, patch? [02:41] Bing0: well with firestarter the name is used when it starts to run but just converts to ip until you restart the computer or the software [02:41] Nobody can speak Chinese? [02:41] ya for openarena [02:41] !cn | wetstone [02:41] wetstone: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [02:41] plb1, thanks! [02:41] dustin, Is that what is it? Ok whatever. open a terminal. type ls -la it will list all the files in the current working directory and their file permissions [02:41] Bing0: you might also note that google does alot of redirects [02:41] sacarlson, ok thanks for the insights... ill give the gui method a rip. then if that fails might end up here :) [02:42] 有没有说中文的呢？ [02:43] you can go to the chinese irc,here is for english communication [02:44] im trying to get my webcam logitech c270 to work. It is supported in the UVC list of supported devices. It works just fine on my laptop (Ubuntu 10.04 netbook) but i just get black screen on my desktop (Ubuntu 10.10). Any ideas what might be different that i can change? [02:44] hello, i am using the ubuntu 9.10. But when i installed it ,i chosed to encry my home directory . now i am still using the system ,how to cancel the encryption? Because the encryption has taken so much space . My home have spare room to store things~~ [02:44] k edbian [02:44] i know where the folder is 1min need a restart for the nautilus packages brb [02:44] dustin, it lists drwxrwxrwx for every file. The first bit (d) is directory and not directory - make sense? [02:45] anyone know a good font for irssi? [02:46] ssbpls, you'll have to backup the data elsewhere, remove the volume and re-create a non-encrypted volume i would think [02:47] <_Tristan> recently whenever a two-inch wide column on my screen is just the right shade of blue-green, it gets distorted. [02:47] triath, are you on 10.10? did you see the cam in terminal with lsusb ? [02:47] <_Tristan> any ideas as to what that is? [02:47] ssbpls: I guess you might create a new user and login to your encrypted user and copy all the files to the new unencrypted user. later you can delete you old user and rename the new one to your old name [02:47] okies back [02:47] what is the preferred 'flash' solution (watching, NOT creating) 10.04.2 amd/64 ? [02:47] _Tristan, Sounds like the monitor is dying [02:47] cryptodira, you mean as in, hassle-free flash? [02:47] <_Tristan> edbian: but why only blue-green? [02:47] Bing0: yea im on 10.10 lsusb shows Bus 008 Device 002: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. it corresponds with the supported device [02:48] _Tristan, Physics? I have no idea [02:48] cryptodira: I use the adobe 64bit beta with no issues [02:48] almoxarife, cryptodira There is a new 0 day flaw in flash as of late so watch out! [02:48] triath, as a stretch, another usb port? also, you certain this cam works(try it on another pc)? [02:49] Bing0: yes this cam works when i plug it in my laptop with 10.04 netbook [02:49] edbian: thus far no issues [02:49] Bing0: ill try another usb port, who knows [02:49] sacarlson:that is a good method [02:50] sacarlson:when i create a new user,the new user's home is not encryed? [02:51] Bing0, that would be nice, tho not required [02:51] ssbpls: as long as you specify when you create it to not be encrypted yes, if you have a full disk encrypted system then no [02:52] almoxarife, are you using 'square' or something newer? [02:52] cryptodira, i found making a file called /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and adding this to it --> OverrideGPUValidation=true [02:52] cryptodira, that helped the stutter for me on a few computers [02:52] edbian, thanks for the heads up... [02:52] It's my first day on linux and I need help finding a driver for my Cyber Acoustics AC-201 analog headset. [02:52] ubuntu 10.10 [02:53] jeppy: how do you need a driver for a headset?

[02:53] sacarlson:i don't understand what you means~ [02:54] mickster04, it's not muted [02:54] cryptodira: version 10.3 d162 [02:55] ssbpls: I assume from what you know that you don't have a full disk encrypted system so when you create a new user just make sure the encrypt box in make new user is not checked [02:55] wait a sec, i think i have it. it was microphone 2 :D [02:55] thanks anyways [02:55] How can I manually mount an sshfs entry from fstab?

Can you do this? mount /mypath ? [02:59] okay so anyone play openarena aka AO? [02:59] edbian, no - that's when I get the error ''ount: can't find mypath in /etc/fstab' [02:59] porjo, IDK! :P Everything looks fine [02:59] We used FreeBSD for programming and web servers.

If he installs an ubuntu vm i can ssh in, setup a server to connect to his machine by samba, and be done with it :) [03:18] do you know of anyway to find out what is configured wrong [03:18] blank screen sleep hibernate shutdown [03:19] what is the equivelent to dos edit in ubbuntu? [03:19] ddilinger: I have looked in the past, just as lazy, didn't see it [03:19] pingupingu: check howtoforge [03:19] or whats the equivelent to copy con in ubuntu [03:19] ddilinger: I see xubuntu in this list http://virtualboximages.com/Free.VirtualBox.VDI.Downloads [03:19] Guest63152, unfortunately, no. my linux-fu is rather weak compared to most of my peers [03:19] raido, I will check [03:19] lol nice [03:20] ddilinger: hamachi on both ends would do the same? [03:20] sacarlson:binding to different files like .jpg and .exe [03:20] speedrunnerG55_, what does "copy con" do? [03:21] speedrunnerG55_: the equivalent to DOS would be the terminal, edit would be nano by default [03:21] amoxarife, maybe a reboot is needed? you tube says to upgrade the flash player.... every other bit of s/w i have installed just worked on installation. [03:21] !cli > speedrunnerG55_ [03:21] speedrunnerG55_, please see my private message [03:21] copies the text in the console to a file [03:21] ok [03:21] indrajeet: I guess you mean in nautilus? [03:21] indrajeet, do you mean specifying which program loads a specific file, or binding your program through some sort of os-provided registry? [03:21] sacarlson:no [03:21] rooley do you know of any reason why my wine browse c is not found [03:21] indrajeet: binding *what* to different files? === Guest73671 is now known as DarkDevil [03:22] cryptodira: I installed 'it' via package, I would suggest doing the same [03:22] anyone know how to enable fullscreen videos again? [03:22] Guest63152, not without any details regarding your setup, no [03:22] indrajeet: on the command line it's just a mater of the first line #! === DarkDevil is now known as Guest39901 [03:22] safeWay, possibly try f11. that's the general default 'fullscreen' shortcut [03:23] ok man thanks any way [03:23] after i wrote some command in terminal some guy told me it disabled fullscreen flash [03:23] video is freezing in fullscreen [03:23] sacarlson:when u bind .exe file with the .jpg.then just open the .jpg and .exe will run automatically === black is now known as Swerve__ [03:24] sacarlson:it works like a virus [03:24] indrajeet, nautilus (the file browser) provides an 'open with' menu on right-click. [03:24] i know what cli is, im learning cmd at the moment but i just want to learn the linux eqivelents in terminal [03:24] raido, there is only tomcat and apache installations, I do not see any eclipse integration installation [03:24] rooly:okay [03:24] speedrunnerG55_, be more specific. What command do you want to translate [03:24] so like i saide before, would anyone happen to know where i should go to report a broken package? [03:25] help [03:25] copy con [03:25] a lil help [03:25] THere is no setting that I am looking for, just blank screen, sleep, hibernate and shut down [03:25] speedrunnerG55_, what does "copy con" do? [03:25] indrajeet: well maybe that's a wine thing, I just use nautilus double click and it binds and opens my jpg files or avi files or txt files in the default application setup in nautilus [03:25] it copies the consol to a file so lets say i said copy con blah.txt [03:26] thaen i would type stuff to write in that text file [03:26] script i think [03:26] lemme go check [03:26] then hit enter and it would make the file [03:26] speedrunnerG55_, nano file.txt [03:26] any way to start a download at a specified time on ubuntu? [03:26] edbian: no, he means copy the current terminal contents to a file I think [03:26] speedrunnerG55_, start with script, then when you finish, hit ctrl+d [03:26] hi [03:27] PlainMushroom: the option you want is 'blank screen' [03:27] script should do that, or screen/byobu can do that too I think [03:27] ctl+d? [03:27] Swerve__, you can set up a cron job [03:27] im having trouble installing grub2 in alternate 10.10 installation - im installing to a raid 0 array [03:27] Swerve__: sure, use the "at" command together with wget. Or if you prefer just do: sleep time-to-wait-here; wget-command-here [03:27] (stripe array) [03:27] how? [03:27] speedrunnerG55_, it is the default keybind to 'exit' [03:27] Swerve__: where is the file [03:27] oh ok [03:28] blackbuntu.org [03:28] isnt there an "exit " command [03:28] almoxarife , that doesn't work. I get a black screen when I close the laptop [03:28] i keep getting an installation step failed [03:28] speedrunnerG55_, yeah, its called exit [03:28] but there are keyboard shortcuts to it [03:28] actually there and here [03:28] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris/downloads/index.html [03:28] i don't think it is installing to the right device... i tried entering the correct name but still no go [03:28] for vm [03:28] !bugs | rooly [03:28] rooly: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [03:28] Swerve__: Ok, you want "at" and "wget".

[03:37] sacarlson, how do i know which sda my drive is? [03:37] backtrack: nvidia proprietary drivers still do not support the randr 1.2 protocol. Try nvidia-settings [03:37] soreau, I did. They will only let me use 50, 51, and 77. [03:37] cesurasean: more details http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/ [03:38] backtrack: Then that's all the driver is capable of.

[03:45] DavidJHeinrich1: probably because CPU frequency scaling is active and your system isn't under heavy load. [03:46] rwww...ahh [03:47] which partition is the mbr usually located on? [03:47] geeze lekhonee better be worth the 63.4MB download [03:47] Hey guys trying to figure out if something is possible. Got ubuntu installed on a second computer. I want the same packages installed on it that are on my other computer. Is there any way to move the package files over via CD to prevent having to download a buncha stuff again? I already tried moving what was in /var/cache/apt/archives but i'm guessing there's more somewhere [03:47] rww: desktop CPUs as old as the Intel Q9550 have scaling? (and if I stressed the system, it'd show them faster?)? [03:48] cesurasean, the mbr is in the first sector of the hdd [03:48] cesurasean: sda unless you change it in bios [03:48] A|i3N, yeah there is. let me go look up the package [03:48] A|i3N, check out aptoncd [03:49] aww man need a package to move packages eh? ;) that'll work. hehe [03:49] cesurasean: mbr is normaly not installed on a partition it is put at the first 512 bytes of the device [03:49] DavidJHeinrich1: The Q9550's only about three years old... and yes, it does scaling ;) [03:49] aptoncd... by the name, it sounds like it might work. lol. Ill check it out on my other computer (i'm guessing I'll need to install this on the "host") [03:50] sacarlson, ok im confused. which sdb do i use?? [03:50] DavidJHeinrich1: if you get CPU usage up to 100%, it should show 2.8GHz, yes. [03:50] where do i specify root directory? my linux partition? or the extended partition, or what? [03:50] rww: ahhh, ok, good to know...thanks! [03:50] i tried using sdb5, but it says that's not the mbr, and i need to use the mbr [03:50] How do i change so the status things "user joins" "user quits" dooesnt show in Irssi? [03:51] cesurasean: for mbr? sdb or sda or sdX NOT sda1 or sdb2 or .... [03:51] soreau, I found the command and uninstalled the drivers. However, after that no display was found and I couldn't startx. [03:51] A|i3N, yes. it creates an apt-readable database. when you put the burned disc into the destination computer, it should automatically pop up with an 'available packages' dialogue [03:51] rww: that makes me think twice about my purchase of an Opteron 6128...I thought it was on-par speedwise with my Q9550! ... but its slower!

Any easy way to do that in buntu? [06:19] overclucker: Thanks alot, it worked. I didn't think that its possible [06:19] :) [06:19] Ubuntu forever [06:19] uh [06:19] I need to set focus to a window from c++ [06:19] or are there any better more awesome tiling I should learn? :P [06:19] how would I do this? i'm getting screwed by all this nice documentation for xlib x11 xorg and other XXX stuff that doesn't seem organized at all [06:21] so Ubuntu uses Xorg [06:21] alex__: I have seen a cli program that does that and have used it in ruby [06:21] and not x11? [06:21] heh c++ != ruby [06:21] alex__: I thought ruby was just an interpreted c++! [06:22] alex__: look at wmctrl [06:22] that must mean everything is quantum vibration [06:22] alex__: no I used the C program in ruby and ruby is writen in C [06:23] ? [06:23] sacarlson: what is the point you are making? [06:23] that library seems too specific [06:24] once i'm done doing something as simple (in concept) as focusing a window [06:24] books are for libraries === Guest24043 is now known as DarkDevil [06:24] i need to read the pixels off it, and send mouse events to it [06:24] and this window is a virtual machine.. [06:24] Can someone help me with dual booting === DarkDevil is now known as Guest19015 [06:24] jsoftw: alex__: wants to set focus on a window and that's what the C program wmctrl does so look at it's code [06:24] Jamba7: install windows, install ubuntu [06:24] Oh I see. [06:24] Do I have to wipe everything off my windows? [06:24] alex__: or just system() run it [06:25] Jamba7: no [06:25] Jamba7: do you have windows already installed I assume? [06:25] шпрехен по-русски? [06:25] Well in that case I did that and the install failed [06:25] Yeah [06:25] ugh.. i have to read someone else's code [06:25] i hope there's not a lot [06:25] Jamba7: you could just resize the windows partition (from within windows) and then you should have room for ubuntu. [06:25] because i have a life [06:26] I did that. I had like sixty extra gigs for ubuntu [06:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlHEJtflcmo :D [06:26] Jamba7: and so what did it moan about? [06:26] alex__: no you can just run it, can't you run a command line program from C ? [06:26] <[thor]> !ru | Jaguar163 [06:26] Jaguar163: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:26] That there was something wrong with the partition. I'm not exactly positive. [06:27] alex__, If your lazy and like to complain. Linux probably isn't for you. [06:28] I even made the partition bigger in ubuntu when it gives you the option to slide the divider [06:29] why doesn't furius iso come up under default mount prograsms when i try to mount an ISO? it doens't even come up on the dropdown i have to manually run the prog [06:29] xiambax, i'm pretty sure most developers disagree. [06:29] and agree laziness is a good thing but anyways [06:30] jsoftw:? [06:30] http://spiralofhope.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/wmctrl-user-documentation/ seems to not correspond to anything the wmctrl commands prints out [06:30] anyone got a better doc? [06:31] i'm seeing a bunch of -1's and no asterisks and other weird things [06:32] my ubuntu 10.04 resolution is larger than my screen resolution .. no xorg.conf exists .. text console is larger than the screen as well .. any tips .. thanks [06:32] i am having this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6107702&postcount=34 but with 10.10 and there is no menu.lst in /boot/grub only a grubenv. should i create menu.lst or can i change rootdelay by some other method involving grubenv? [06:33] ok. this guy's information is wrong [06:34] пидары [06:34] английскиеъ [06:34] Jaguar163, #ubuntu-ru [06:34] соси хуй [06:34] Jaguar163, you have been told many times [06:34] соси сука [06:35] bazhang, i think that if he is speaking another language [06:35] he's not going to understand you. [06:35] if you speak a different language from him [06:35] соси алекс [06:35] Jaguar 163 how can i learn russian so that i could understand what you say :-P [06:35] Slapped by bazhang. [06:35] alex__, he got the #ru factoid in Russian many times. [06:36] hi what if I want to use the latest kernel? [06:36] isn't there a way to run 2.6.38? [06:36] i am having this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6107702&postcount=34 but with 10.10 and there is no menu.lst in /boot/grub only a grubenv. should i create menu.lst or can i change rootdelay by some other method involving grubenv? [06:36] is there a *nix called foxbuntu [06:37] !grub2 | cmdbbq please have a look [06:37] cmdbbq please have a look: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:37] maxillusionist, if there is its unsupported and offtopic here [06:38] actually i saw an alias like that LOL [06:38] cmdbbq, you can change the timeout in grub2, just hold shift at boot [06:38] What is Astk in the Science menu, nothing happens when I run it [06:38] grub is bootloader for ubuntu like LiLo etc [06:39] alesan, if you need to ask, you shouldn't (i.e. it's easy to compile a kernel) [06:39] dancek, do not make assumptions. [06:39] Does Ubuntu have a magnification tool built in? My laptop screen is dead so i'm plugged into a tv via s-video and I can't read anything [06:40] dancek, is there a "PPA" or something that updates to the latest kernel automatically? [06:40] alesan, check the ppa search page, its completely unsupported and at your own risk however [06:41] alesan, its at launchpad [06:42] threexk do you use your tv as a montor [06:42] alesan, imo you shouldn't use unofficial kernels compiled by someone else because that's just really unsecure [06:42] maxillusionist; not normally, it's a standard-definition tV [06:43] bazhang: ok, i seem to be booting now, but i didn't get a menu or a dialogue to change rootdelay. could you tell me more about what i just did? has the root delay changed permenantly or will i need to hold shift at every boot? [06:43] cmdbbq, its a fairly well documented wiki if you take a look there first [06:43] cmdbbq, once you change it properly it will stick [06:44] dancek, what can I do, the kernel shipped with ubuntu just stinks :( it will always crash my laptop in suspend/resume, and besides that, I would like to use the new features found in 2.6.38 [06:44] Cmdbbq: look into the /etc/default/grub file ;-) [06:44] 2.6.38 is amazing on 10.10 ! [06:45] Moc, did you simply download the git and compiled yourself? [06:45] alesan, you can compile your own easily [06:45] alesan: got 11.04 deb [06:45] I'm too lazy to compile at this time of night [06:45] Moc, can you explain? [06:45] I can watch 1080p video on youtube perfectly now ! [06:45] launchpad build servers are having a laugh.. Build score:2505 - Start in 10 hours [06:46] bazhang: frankly i have no confidence in the wiki as the first thing i looked up in it was a lie. I have no grub.cfg and i searched the wiki to no avail for grubenv [06:46] Alesan: then hang a month or so and install natty, or use it now in alpha but things maybe broken for you [06:46] Moc, what do you mean you can watch youtube at 1080? [06:46] ActionParsnip, so next Ubuntu release will have 2.6.38? [06:46] alesan: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/ [06:46] elFidel: yes [06:47] Alesan: yes, it does (i use natty) [06:47] чуваки шпрехен по-русски [06:47] alesan: install the 2 deb file for your platform and the one for both [06:47] Moc: natty uses the 38 branch already [06:47] once you sure the 3 deb are installed, just reboot and it should do it [06:48] hello all whats up [06:48] ActionParsnip: no intention to upgrade to natty for the moment [06:48] v_, #ubuntu-ru as you know well [06:49] Moc:with the 38 kernel, you essentially have it [06:50] ActionParsnip: kernel is just a very small part [06:50] Hi speedy|2 [06:50] how are you doing tonight speedy [06:50] you know, all linux distro use the linux kernel ;) [06:50] Moc: its the very heart of the OS. Not small in any way [06:51] debian uses the freebsd kernel [06:51] it can now also use the freebsd kernel, doesn't need to use it [06:52] screw you [06:52] lier [06:52] Moc: You are running natty in essence, the apps you are running on it are just not the ones available to the later release [06:52] Plutu, you seem to have no idea, but please at least be polite to others [06:53] really, sched autogroup does wonder ! [06:53] ActionParsnip: I would disagree rather strongly. In my experience upgrading to a newer kernel rarely results in regressions while upgrading all other apps (i.e. to a development release) almost always adds a considerable number. [06:53] how come i have no idea ? [06:54] disabled it in real time and flash video in full screen actually stop working well (1080p) [06:54] i hate drugs no need for iDEA [06:54] !ot | Plutu [06:54] Plutu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:54] my issues with 11.04 is the new UI.. [06:55] Moc: other distributions may be using 38 and ubuntu isn't due to ubuntu not being a rolling release as well as other factors like its versioning and stuff like that [06:55] ban telepac thei are cmpetition anyays [06:56] Moc: You can use the original desktop in Natty too... [06:56] ActionParsnip: yea, just worried it wont work as well... I'll give it a try for sure [06:56] I do every 6 month hehe [06:56] привет [06:57] v_ stop that [06:57] 10.04 was one of the bad release (sadly it even a long term support !) [06:57] were do the ubuntu names come from are they afrikans names ? [06:57] is there a way to untar a file in a directory and have it overwrite the files currently there that match up to the ones in the tarball? [06:57] <[thor]> Plutu: it's Adjective Animal [06:57] Plutu, yes it sounds african [06:58] aren't they from Toy Story? [06:58] Plutu: there is a wiki you can suggest them on :-) [06:58] Firefishe: no, that's Debian. [06:58] bazhang, he's simply greeting [06:58] alesan: in Russian, which they've been told not to use in #ubuntu. Repeatedly. [06:58] rww: Egads! Please! Smite me! [06:58] ;) [06:58] alesan, its jaguar163, who knows where to go [06:59] Firefishe: I would have better standing to do this if I didn't use squeeze ;) [06:59] Like the remplacement of the audio player with a .net software... I got little bit of problem with that [06:59] lol [06:59] rww: gotcha [06:59] hi am new!.... my grub lost... and i follow the instruction... and it gives me only this " grub> " [06:59] i have two netbooks running 10.10, one a fresh install the other upgraded from 10.04. the latter gives me the option of booting into a "2D Netbook edition" while the former does not. I would like the option on the fresh install, as it is for a friend and it is what she is accustomed to. anyone able to help me out with that? [06:59] can i sujest Wild boar ? [06:59] my problem with ubuntu is that I have installed it to my mom [06:59] Plutu, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:00] alesan: I couldn't switch them sadly ! [07:00] alesan: Your mom must run very efficiently now. [07:00] I'm sorry [07:00] and she is not so quick to learn how to use things, and ubuntu every single time has something useless new like different colors, different positions of the window buttons etc [07:00] Plutu: sure the wiki stretches to2020 [07:01] and as I am 6000miles away from her PC, what can I do? I think I will have to keep 10.04 until it is not supported anymore and then what? [07:01] Alesan: different buttons how? [07:02] alesan: once 10.04 is not supported, and you didn't visit her, I would say shame on you ! :) [07:02] i install another linux and my ubuntu lost in grub... now what i did is follow the instruction and did it.. but when i restart it show only this... grub> [07:02] Moc, that is not the problem: I do not want to update and have a new (stupid) graphical interface that she has to re-learn === jh is now known as Guest10510 [07:03] alesan: You're going to have a problem with pretty much any OS (or application for that matter) then. [07:03] So what y'all up to then? What nerdy things be ye doing? [07:03] what can I do? [07:03] alesan: it not really different in term of learning I think [07:03] alesan: it just less efficient in my view [07:03] alesan: If you stick to LTS releases I doubt it will be much of an issue. [07:03] Jordan_U, well a window xp installed in 2001 is still the same now [07:03] first thing I do is disable compiz [07:03] Whats all this ? [07:04] sadly, compiz is just too slow (especially alt-tab) [07:04] Jordan_U, but then with LTS I stay with obsolete software all the time (firefox - openoffice - etc) [07:04] It doesnt do anything productive anyhow [07:04] jsoftw: avast, ye scurvy it'er, if ye be here, then ye be in the midst of the uproariest, baddest of the bad, scurvy-rickety type of nerd-bein', web-surfin' seadogs this side of the Cape O' Abandon All Hope! [07:04] alesan: While this is veering into offtopic, XP was supposed to be EOLd years ago. [07:04] okay, I'm done [07:04] I need a break..too much caffeine [07:04] lol. [07:04] more caffeine! [07:05] alesan: Firefox's interface changes as well. [07:05] * jsoftw is busy mincing around with common lisp + sdl [07:05] Next task is to make a wee graph that shows random number distrobution [07:05] Jordan_U, my question is simply: why Ubuntu continues to change UI. It swould be so much better to stick with one and simply update it [07:05] jsoftw: #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux. You may prefer #ubuntu-offtopic :) [07:06] so my question is: is there a way to update ubuntu, but keep the interface clean and stable, I think the best color scheme was 7.10? [07:06] alesan: Because progress requires change. [07:07] alesan: ish [07:07] Jordan_U, is that progress, or ego? [07:07] I really see no progress in moving the window buttons to the left [07:07] or change how gdm asks for password [07:07] hi [07:08] hello fight [07:08] alesan: One thing that bug me is the file/edit... going to the top.. [07:08] alesan, do not think. Let Canonical think instaed of you. [07:08] alesan: That's offtopic for this channel. Sticking to your support question, no there isn't any way that I can think of to keep the interface the same between upgrades automatically. [07:08] I hate mac especially for this [07:08] maybe, there is a package "old-desktop" where people not interested in "progress" can stay [07:08] Somebody, please tell me is it an error:"Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #2 for (,msdos2)/boot/grub." (entry in results.txt of Boot Info Script on Ubuntu 10.10) [07:09] alesan, ok, make this package. [07:09] meta [07:09] silvery: I'd need to see the rest of the output to be able to know. Are you having a particular problem? [07:09] iiicyg, how? [07:10] iiicyg, are you saying it's possible to port the 7.10 ubuntu-desktop to later versions? [07:10] well, whatever ubuntu you run, kernel 2.6.38 is a must upgrade [07:10] alesan, course. All is possible in Linux [07:10] Moc, I can't wait to try the hugeTBL feature [07:10] iiicyg, ho do I do that? [07:10] how [07:11] alesan, try looking at gnome-look [07:11] For example [07:11] Jordan_U: I have an acer laptop that stuns with GRUB, clinking _ and beep, just havent pasebinning... [07:11] yet [07:11] upgrade to 10.10, add repositories with 7.10, remove 10.10 reps, reinstall gnome-desktop [07:12] ubuntu-desktop, soory [07:12] alesan: Some have said that XFCE is going to start differentiating itself by keeping a more "conservative" Desktop Environment rather than trying new paradigms like KDE and GNOME are currently doing. It's hard to say if that will still be true 5 years from now but it might be something to look at. [07:13] from a video I watch of alpha 3, there seem to be lot of issues left [07:13] i enjoy xfce [07:13] Moc, yeah [07:14] Jordan_U, that is a very good advice [07:14] silvery: Please do pastebin the complete RESULTS.txt. === jh_ is now known as Guest66152 [07:15] oh another thing [07:15] I setup my mom's computer to run an operation out of rc.local [07:16] it is basically an rsync command that downloads stuff from a wireless connected camera [07:16] hello how do I get apache on my repository [07:16] until the command hasn't finised, she cannot shutdown the computer according to a "system policy" [07:16] any idea how to override this? [07:17] I just run a script that changes my theme, background, and moves the buttons from left to right with gconftool [07:17] Jordan_U: ok, I'll let you (or someone) know [07:18] I really liked the old login screen... Had a nicer look (though probably not as flexible [07:18] the square box login is alittle bit boring [07:18] how do I get apache on my repository I don't see it there [07:19] what is the difference between ubutu server and ubuntu desktop? I want to use apache server on ubuntu [07:19] server without X [07:20] no? [07:20] how you mean without x? [07:21] ha crap, 11.04 use win3.11 app access like Mac does ! [07:21] without X windows system, I mean [07:21] I think so [07:21] um I am not sure ordinary ubuntu server [07:21] I do not know exactly [07:22] iiicyg: this one http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/overview [07:23] I'm running 6 Ubuntu workstations (primarily running oo.o ) at a business. They have 30 users each. I just finished upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, and all my users are pissed off about the window buttons in the upper left. I can easily fix an individual account, but I need to login as that user to do it.

[07:59] nothing.... [07:59] not showing anything after i press TAB [08:00] YourTube: what ubuntu-version were you running= [08:00] YourTube: Boot a liveCD and follow this guide to re-install grub properly: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:00] ? [08:00] 10.10 [08:01] Jordan_U i followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 [08:01] but let me look that also [08:01] YourTube: either follow Jordan_Us hint or try "linux /vmlinuz-2.6.35-25 root=/dev/sda2" [08:01] YourTube: That thread is more prone to user error. [08:01] trying that llutz wait [08:02] YourTube: Make sure that you have a 64 bit liveCD if you're trying to rescue a 64 bit install though. [08:02] yea.. i'm using the live cd that i used to install my ubuntu [08:03] YourTube: better use the live-cd, no fun to estimate your kernel-version (wonder why tab-completion doesn't work) [08:03] can I obtain source code of Ubuntu OS so that I can add my personal JPG logo every time it installs? [08:03] !remaster | researcher1 [08:03] researcher1: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [08:04] llutz_: My guess is that tab completion isn't working because the path should be /boot/vmlin not /vmlin (but it's still probably easier to just work from the liveCD). [08:04] Jordan_U: argh, you're right, my bad [08:04] i used the live cd and followed the instruction from ubuntuforums thread... and it shows that thing " grub> " [08:04] Jordan_U: different when using boot-partition [08:04] researcher1: you don't need the source code to do that, there are links to customize installs [08:05] am booting to my livecd [08:05] YourTube: Like I said, that thread's instructions are easier to get wrong accidentily than the instructions @ http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:05] sacarlson: but I want typical repositories to be available by default in my OS [08:05] ok Jordan_U... let me try that :) [08:06] researcher1: yes you can setup your own sites in your own repositories too http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [08:06] researcher1: or just keep them the same if you wish [08:06] I seem have a issue with my login screen. i cant use a usb keyboard (doesnt load untill logged in) and have to login using on screen keyboard [08:07] sacarlson: can it be made available on the CD itself rather than the need to connect to internet? [08:07] researcher1: yes you can add as much as can fit onto the media you plan to use as your distrubution [08:09] sacarlson: oh.thanks.does it need much expertise? im newbie [08:09] sacarlson: do i have to get it done by launchpad? === root is now known as Guest87864 [08:10] researcher1: depends on you talent, there is also remastersys http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html and other tools [08:10] dragonkeeper: that is usually a hardware issue [08:10] dragonkeeper: what kind of system do you have?

[08:14] ohzie no [08:14] just curious, if it changed the way the system worked in a useful way [08:14] dragonkeeper: Try a different usb slot [08:14] dragonkeeper: it seems like a stupid solution but I'm completely serious [08:15] dragonkeeper: if I could count how many times "different usb slot" has solved a usb issue, I would be a legit mathmetician [08:15] mathmatician* [08:15] Jordan_U the 8th step won;t work... it says grub-mkconfig command not found [08:15] ohzie ok will do when i restart next ty [08:15] dragonkeeper: in the meantime, thank you for trying linux [08:15] dragonkeeper: and once you figure out what's causing it, please file a bug report [08:16] lkj [08:16] ohzie been using linux for a while just never had this problem [08:16] dragonkeeper: It's people like you who keep using linux even when you run into frustrations, that keep the project moving forward. <3 [08:16] YourTube: Can you pastebin the ouptu of "apt-cache policy grub-pc"? [08:16] llutz_: I was just wondering how it actually effected system handling [08:16] how to connect to another server? [08:17] Hi. Where do I found "mounts". I mounted a network server thingy, and cant find the files to that server from vim, just from the the desktop / gnome. THanks [08:17] You know, guys, I tried to switch to a mac. I got a nice mac mini with 4g of ram and a nice dual monitor setup(matching monitors, 1080p, very nice, very jazz) and I tried to use them for a week, and what it came down to is that everything I could do on the mac I could do in linux more easily and with less frustration [08:17] elektroid: i just uses only 1 core of the cpu, so it will make the system a bit slower [08:17] can anyone tell me syntax of /server command? [08:17] johanhar: ~/.gvfs [08:17] Thanks [08:18] Also osx-terminal, somehow, is less functional than xterm but way way prettier, because apparently that's the priority. [08:18] johanhar: You're welcome. [08:18] llutz_: oh, so it wont treat it as one large uniprocessor [08:18] that made no sense to me at all/.

[08:31] Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/580973/ [08:31] thanks Jordan. I check it out now. brb if any question mate. cheers. [08:32] YourTube: What version of Ubuntu are you using? That's an acient version of GRUB2 that you definitely don't want to use. [08:32] 10.10 [08:33] Jordan_U i install the backtrack that's why it overwrite the newer grub [08:33] YourTube: Can you pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a"? [08:34] Still_Learning I'd hit the nearest computer shop (not frys, best buy etc.) for general computing you'll probably also want to upgrade the ram. [08:34] Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/580974/ [08:34] YourTube: First run "apt-get install grub" in that chroot to restore grub legacy, then chroot into Ubuntu (right now you must be chrooted into backtrack since that's definitely not the version of grub in Ubuntu 10.10). [08:35] So Linux doesnt have low RAM limitations like XP? [08:35] YourTube: I meant run "lsb_release" in the chroot as well. [08:36] Ubuntu's has pretty low system requirements, however things will run faster with better hardware :P [08:37] Still_Learning https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [08:38] yea I want that too. [08:38] Just to run it faster [08:38] cuz this Gcard is killing my system [08:38] checking for GLIB - version >= 2.27.90... no How can I get it? [08:39] Jordan_U lsb_release in chroot No LSB modules are available [08:39] Hey guys! Is anyone really good at troubleshooting! I am having an issue on my laptop where it keeps crashing back to the login screen(gdm I think) and sometimes it does this thing where all the colors on the screen slowly fade into white(I actually thought my display was fried the first time it happend) and it keeps doing it randomly. Does anyone know how I would go about tracking down what is causing it? I can't seem to f [08:39] ind anything in the logs or anything [08:39] YourTube: Sorry, "lsb_release -a" [08:40] Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/580976/ [08:41] YourTube: That is an ancient verison of Ubuntu that hasn't been supported for years. Again, run "apt-get install grub" then "exit" to get out of the chroot and make sure that you chroot into your Ubuntu 10.10 install this time. [08:44] Jordan_U apt-get install grub done.... [08:45] Jordan_U whats next? [08:45] YourTube: Good. Now it might be easiest to just reboot the LiveCD and start the Guide from the beginning again, making sure that you mount your Ubuntu 10.10 partition to /mnt/ and not the ancient 8.10 partition. [08:46] ok restarting [08:47] I have a problem with my usb mouse (A4tech Wop-49). I cannot use scroolling [08:53] Jordan_U ok i restarted to livecd and run the command [08:54] YourTube: Ran which command? [08:54] grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg command not found [08:55] Hello, is it possible when restarting network (init.d/networking) to provide a custom /etc/network/interfaces file located elsewhere? [08:55] I want to create my own network profiles [08:55] <_Rix> anyone know how i could go to the location of the current file being played in movie player [08:56] checking for GLIB - version >= 2.27.90... no How can I get it? [08:56] Frazer: see examples in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples [08:57] hi guys, can someone point me to a tutorial that uses an function button of "extended monitor" to display dulam monitor twinview, im using nvidia current [08:57] llutz_: thx [08:58] <_Rix> anyone know how i could go to the location of the current file being played in (the ubuntu) movie player [08:58] Jordan_U when i ran the ls_release -a its shows the same output Ubuntu 8.10 [08:59] YourTube: Then you mounted the wrong partition to /mnt/ [08:59] its correct.. but it shows 2 linux in there [08:59] _Rix: no idea, but if the file is on a mounted FS, you should be able to find it with lsof, find, updatedb and locate... [09:00] YourTube: Then mount the other linux parition to /mnt/ [09:01] Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/580987/ <--here's the fdisk -l [09:01] Jordan_U ok i'll do that :) [09:02] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with latest (stable) version of wine and spotify performance is slow as shit. It's so bad that it takes seconds to register mouse movements and clicks after a while. The performance seems to degrade more over time also. Is this just me or does anyone else have this issue? [09:03] YourTube: You'll need to run "exit" to get out of the chroot and then run "sudo umount -a" to unmount everything (or reboot again if that doesn't work). [09:03] looks like it works [09:05] how to manual configure ip? [09:05] jiltdil: System > Preferences > Network Connections [09:05] jiltdil: ifconfig / ip [09:06] llutz,jordan_u: my mean to say in which file i have to go [09:07] jiltdil: /etc/network/interfaces [09:07] jordan_u: for gatawy [09:08] llutz_: in the example i don't see how to configure several profiles in different (or in the same) file :s [09:09] Frazer: will you plz repeat question? [09:10] Frazer: see those mapping examples from ../network-interfaces.gz [09:10] Frazer: its usally done all in one file /e/n/interfaces [09:11] Yep indeed but I want to have several different profiles for the same interface eth0 for example [09:11] And switch easily between them [09:11] Test [09:12] Frazer: thats how that works, they just use different aliases to switch [09:12] Haaaa using aliases seems to be the great solution [09:14] Test....

A second ago I was watching a video from another service, didn't crash my computer. But YT (with the newest version of flashplugin-installer) was locking up my whole system a second into videos. Y'know where the audio buffer just keeps looping, like a jerk. [09:18] Jordan_U its WORKS! THANKS a LOT!!! [09:19] <[deXter]> Is there a "remove-apt-repository" type command ?

[09:29] eh, is maverick a unstable version? [09:29] <[deXter]> ericy: Yep, that's how I've been removing them so far. [09:29] eh, is maverick a unstable version? anyone else using it?? [09:30] <[deXter]> no [09:30] Krycek: Maverick is the current stable release [09:30] i hit the command apt-get update and its ignoring so many rep or whatevah, ppl said that its my maverick ruin it [09:30] [deXter]: I see.. but it must be a paint to have to leave console and load up the big, slow gui program. [09:31] <[deXter]> ericy: Yep, considering that everything else can be done from the CLI.. it's an odd behavior indeed. Perhaps ppa's are listed in a different file..

[09:33] so, how do i fix a messed up rep for the command update? tried too search for the problem BUT theres nada out there, could it be that I have messed it up or is it possible that a second party or a third party could messed it up? [09:34] [deXter]: Bye. [09:34] <[deXter]> Cya [09:34] Synaptic Package Manager isnt helping me much.. [09:36] I'd like to install Opera. I've added the opera.com package source and when I mark opera for installation, synaptic wants to install flashplugin-nonfree as well. Looking at the properties of the opera-packages flashplugin-nonfree is only /recommended/ not required. How do I tell synaptic to not install flashplugin? [09:36] why dont you want flash [09:36] It's insecure [09:36] just make it worse, i need my update dudes, guys anyone, i hit apt-get update and now it tell me E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [09:36] E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ [09:36] there isnt really a usable open source flash player so... you're probably stuck with flashplugin-nonfree [09:37] i get that now and then i just reboot [09:37] usually solves it [09:37] Krycek: do you have synaptic open? [09:37] species: My problem is not having no flashplayer but not wanting to install flashplugin-nonfree [09:37] species: nope [09:37] species: I don't miss flash on the internet [09:37] foodoo: its not going to hurt you [09:38] foodoo: even if you are a die hard "everything must be foss" person, there IS no usable open source flash player, so you arent losing anything [09:38] so, maybe a reboot will do, bah [09:38] I do all that kinda surfing in a VM. [09:38] if you think adobe will open source flash just because a few people dont use it on ubuntu your head is in the clouds [09:38] No flash on my actual box [09:38] species: I don't want Flash at all. It's a waste of resources and there are different ways of viewing YT videos if I really need to watch one [09:39] fair enough [09:39] personally I would install it but then disable it in specific browsers [09:39] And the weird thing is: It's only a recommendation for the opera package. Not a requirement [09:39] well, its a third party plugin [09:39] or install the whole deal then uninstall flashplugin-nonfree [09:40] overclucker, yeah, that would be the dirty approach^^ [09:42] you could have installed it all by now if you didnt care so much [09:42] there is a difference between not *needing* something, and needing to *not have* something. [09:42] foodoo: use aptitude -R or apt-get --no-install-recommends [09:42] llutz: thanks :) [09:43] foodoo: both can be configured not to install recommends automatically. not sure about synaptics, i never used it [09:47] hhe [09:48] YO [09:48] ;] === Asstyx is now known as AStyx [09:48] anyone ever seen a program that emulates a dvd/cd drive on boot and can choose an iso from a media storage device for os boot installations [09:49] via no cd drive and no usb boot [09:49] is it possible ?? [09:49] odix yes [09:49] well i need it [09:49] haha [09:50] i assume it writes a boot sector partition with that emulation software on it [09:50] what do I need to install to get the KDE help center? [09:50] my dvd drive is burning coasteres [09:50] and i have no option to boot from usb, via my problem [09:50] and i want a nix flavor [09:50] odix: you can use this method, I've used it to boot from my sdb hard disk http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [09:51] odix: I just add an entry in my grub to boot the iso [09:51] well im in windows [09:51] linux its an illegal operative system used by hackers, if you dident know [09:52] I am apparently missing the Application manuals for KDE. How do I get them? [09:52] odix: oh this only works if you have a bootable grub2 harddisk with any linux on it === Guest46374 is now known as LULLING [09:52] ya see ;\ [09:52] theres my problem [09:53] odix: but you can use a usbflash as that also points out [09:53] odix: look at grub4-dos, should work with windows too [09:53] this comp doest boot usb [09:53] its junk [09:53] fdd hdd lan and cdrom [09:53] llutz thank you [09:54] but if i added a boot sector str8 to an iso it would launch ? [09:54] can i hack someone if i know their IP? [09:54] how do I get kde_application_manuals ? [09:54] doesn't an os technically have to be reading the iso first ? [09:54] can i hack someone if i know their IP? [09:54] iso isnt asm right [09:54] llutz_ that might work I guess odix: maybe that's worth a try grub4-dos with an entry like what's seen in link above [09:54] kriume yes bro [09:54] rm -rf *thereip* [09:54] which will do nothing [09:55] cause im nice [09:55] ok well worth a shot thanks guys [09:55] kriume: try it, use 127.123.43.32 and hack as you can but take your offtopic things out of here, use #ubuntu-offtopic [09:55] kriume you can try ping 127.0.0.1 to death to [09:56] llutz_: I'm gonna try to set some aliases eth0:0 eth0:1 with the IP depending on the network and after I just down eth0:0 and up eth0:1 to switch between them ; is it the good solution? [09:56] lol [09:56] oh wait [09:57] Frazer: whatever works for you. i'd prefer "speaking" aliases, but it won't matter [09:57] llutz, or carlson, i just point grub to the iso on the fat32 partition? or how would i go about oding that [09:57] create a new one ? === io_ is now known as io [09:57] put dos cd emulation software on a fat32 with the iso ?

DOS [10:01] chrome os [10:01] binary [10:01] Anyway thx for your help llutz_ . [10:02] odix: thought of it, but there is one question about customization. does it have "plasma"? hope not [10:02] plasma ? [10:02] whats that kde eye candy? [10:02] im sure it doesnt [10:02] Frazer: youd google for ifplugd/guessnet/ifupdown that was my working solution for years to change between networks [10:02] look it up its on the site, its made for netbooks [10:03] i preffer ubuntu desktop + maximus over netbook edition on my eeepc [10:04] iff [10:04] what do you want out of your netbook [10:04] and what are its specs [10:06] odix: all i want from it, just browsing, listening music, watching videos, some work with documents, nothing special. it is eeepc 901. i had ubuntu on it, but she ate all free space. i have 14gb hard drive, and after a year, there is only 1gb left [10:06] hello [10:06] chrome os [10:07] jatt: i like google, but chrome os is pretty new, and i'm a little afraid of it. the best choice i see, it's ubuntu netbook edition, yet [10:08] iff_: for listening music and watch movies put those files on other device [10:08] Yep llutz_ you're right but the switch must be controlled by the user (by clicking on an icon reprensenting a network or another) that's why I think I don't need ifplugd or guessnet ! [10:08] Frazer: oh ok, in that case: can't networkmanager do that? [10:08] Need to do a script, no graphical mode :p [10:09] hmm or should i create partition, install linux via CD emulation thne edit boot sectors [10:09] zvacet: yeah, that will help a lot, he-he [10:09] Frazer: non graphical icon click? anyways, hope your solution works [10:10] llutz_: user are not friendly with the configuration, I have to provide some icons and when they click on, it calls a script that does the job :p [10:10] iff_: it is really small hd what else I can tell you [10:11] odix: maybe install with wubi and use wubi install to install onto a real ext4 partitions [10:11] iff_: it is not about any linux distro it is about hd you have and things you want to do [10:13] odix: one of the problems I did have installing from a harddisk was that I couldn't partition from the same disk I was running from so make sure it creates a root partition in ramdisk whatever you do [10:14] iff_ : if you really want small linux distro you can try http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm [10:14] Hello everyone, trying to install Ubuntu server on an old Dell PowerEdge server, but since we don't have a DVD we are trying to use a USB stick. We can get into the menu, but when we select the option "Install" and hit enter, the menu just skips, as if you would use F5 on a file folder, but remains the same. Any help? [10:14] zvacet: xpud is smaller and boots a tonne faster :D [10:14] I'm running ubuntu desktop on my eeepc, and only 7G is used on / [10:14] ActionParsnip: tnx for tip I will check that [10:15] Guys? [10:15] Don't wanna sound naggy, but it's kind of important. [10:16] Hang on, my colleagues appear to have it working.... [10:16] carlson, i sorta understand that last one [10:16] xpis fat32no ? [10:16] cant i just resize while in windows [10:17] then create etx 4 and swap, cd emul, install to ext 4/ [10:17] i dunno... [10:17] odix: I think they have tools for that like partitionmagic so I guess yes [10:18] jeez [10:18] if i could just boot from usb or cd [10:18] haha [10:18] ERRRR [10:18] odix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:18] Okay, new question: does anybody know of any good imaging software that works on the Ubuntu server (latest distro)? We need to make an image off of an existing pc, and then distribute that image to all the other pc's we're trying to image. [10:19] gimp? [10:19] The image to be made is of an ubuntu pc, too. [10:19] jatt I mean image as in system image, not image file lol. [10:19] how to export mails from evolution [10:20] odix: you don't have a usb flash to boot from? they do have windows programs to load them bootable [10:20] MarkAng: partimage is pretty sweet, you'll need the partition offline (unmounted) to image [10:20] while installing I get "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." How to do away with it [10:20] llutz_: You say you never used/use synaptic: How do you do searches for packages and how do you read brief details about packages. [10:21] raviepic3: http://www.stchman.com/export_evolution.html [10:21] ActionParsnip: does the program offer the option to unmount the partitions? [10:21] researcher1: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a Thanks [10:21] ericy: aptitude, apt-cache, apt-file [10:22] sacarlson: the comp wont boot from flash [10:22] its no in the bios [10:22] only FDD HDD LAN CD [10:22] how to install ie9 on ubuntu? [10:22] The PC's we're trying to image are freshly set up, the server still needs to be installed and it also needs to be configured. [10:22] MarkAng: no you do that yourself, use it in a livecd as the partition will be mounted and in use if youo do it from the OS installed on the same partition [10:22] llutz_: (I personally also prefer working in cli, but only need/use synaptic for research.) [10:22] phoenixsampras: possibly wine [10:22] ActionParsnip: ok. soon [10:22] phoenixsampras: virtualbox will make it more reliable [10:23] ericy: look at those 3, no need for synaptic at all (imo) [10:23] On that note, not all of the pcs have cd drives. Old Dell All-in-One's, some have a drawer instead of a drive. [10:23] ActionParsnip: what about jack daniels? [10:24] phoenixsampras: possibly, might short the wifis though :) [10:24] odix: there is a program call plop boot manager that runs in windows that will make any computer boot a usb [10:24] really [10:24] cause i already have ubuntu on the usb [10:24] running and everything [10:24] ActionParsnip: well, from a cowboy , to cowboy salut! [10:24] works on my netbook [10:24] odix: see http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [10:24] is having my SSH config file the port 23, instead of 22, a bad idea?? [10:24] ActionParsnip, wow, i had this question long time back. howd you remember it ! ? [10:25] raviepic3: huh? [10:26] ActionParsnip: the error is gone === xepera is now known as remanifest [10:26] kriume: security by obscurity won't work but if port 23 makes you happier [10:26] raviepic3: http://www.stchman.com/export_evolution.html [10:26] ActionParsnip, ^ [10:26] 我想蹭网，但是不会～ === Guest8117 is now known as DarkDevil [10:27] llutz: but the other people the network owner i am on can he see what i am doing in his internet, or am i secured when i have ssh-agent running ?

[10:27] kriume: you can change it to whatever you want, it doesn't matter [10:27] llutz_: You say you never used/use synaptic: How do you do searches for packages and how do you read brief details about packages. [10:28] llutz_: (I personally also prefer working in cli, but only need/use synaptic for research.) [10:28] ericy: apt-cache search pattern [10:28] ericy: aptitude show package [10:28] llutz_ what do u mean by security by obscurity anyway? [10:29] kriume: changing ssh-port wonÄt increase security as its easy to find the new port (nmap -sV), but commonly used [10:29] ActionParsnip: we are going to try to use a Ubuntu server boot cd. can you describe the process of unmounting a partition with the livecd and imaging it? [10:29] kriume: ports only go up to 65535 [10:29] llutz_: But how do (where do you) you read properties and descriptions of packages? [10:30] ericy: aptitude show package [10:30] researcher1: you missed the first half. If you copy all the command as one it's better. Can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update [10:30] join #ubuntu-tw [10:30] ok but if i am connected on someone else's wireless network can they see what goes over the ssh link when i have ssh-agent running? [10:30] hello [10:30] kriume: read how ssh works and answer yourself [10:31] kriume: the session is encrypted, so no [10:31] llutz_: OK, I will try: aptitude show package [10:31] ActionParsnip? [10:31] ericy: package = to be replaced by a valid packagename of course [10:31] ericy: see https://cs2.swfc.edu.cn/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/Debian/apt-howto/apt-howto.en.html [10:31] i have installed the ubuntu 11.04 but i think is so diffrent from the 10.10 [10:31] llutz_:i have readen ofcourse, but the setup of ssh was looking so simple.. so i am just wondering [10:32] llutz_: OK. [10:32] zvacet: OK. [10:32] suck [10:33] Can anyone walk me through the process of unmounting a partition with a LiveCD and making an image of the unmounted partition? [10:34] Hello vvsem [10:34] I think you have to make an iso of the disc and then mount the partition using the FS for livecd === zink is now known as ZiNk [10:34] I want to UNmount a partition, not mount. [10:35] are you in LiveC now ? [10:35] carlson: looks a bit over my head, but im going to try [10:35] LiveCD* [10:35] I think tar would be a good option for you [10:35] No, I'm not. I want to write it down so we can do it when we're done with installing the server. [10:35] MarkAng: if you boot the livecd the system partition will be unmounted but the swap may get used. You can use umount to unmount the partitions you want unmounted# [10:36] Command line? [10:36] MarkAng: "sudo umount /media/*" "sudo swapoff -a" to be on the safe side [10:36] MarkAng: its no different to an installed system, if you run: mount you will see the mounted file systems. You will need a storage (NFS, Samba, FTP, USB/Firewire) mounted writable to recieve the data [10:37] ActionParsnip, the hdd doesnt get mounted by default ? [10:37] My xubuntu doesn't start anymore - i get as far as the splash screen (console says "Checking battery state... [ok]") - and then it stalls... [10:37] do you need to take back up of a partition [10:37] But the installed system is Windows, so we can't use commands. [10:38] I mean we can't check it like you described [10:38] you are on a LiveCD , and you want to umount what ? [10:38] what does mount show , does it display the NTFS Windows ? [10:38] I am not on a livecd right now, but will be soon. [10:38] carlson: [10:38] Harddisk install using the Windows boot menu (2K, XP, VISTA, Win7) [10:38] i assme\\ume thats what i want to do [10:38] nishant: you can't mount drives [10:39] I apparently need to unmount a partition to image it using partimage. [10:39] ActionParsnip, you cant mount drives in a LiveVD session ? [10:39] nishant: the partitions in the drive don't get mounted automatically when you boot livecd. The swap space may be in use though [10:39] nishant: you can't mount drives ever, you mount partitions [10:39] you mount _filesystems_ not partitions [10:39] nishant: even if a drive has 1 partition taking 100% of the space, you stil mount the partition [10:40] Right , but does it allow mounting , I think it should . Yes I mean that [10:40] nishant: theres a difference [10:40] MarkAng: I would use: umount -vn /media/* and then use "pcopy" to copy a partition. [10:40] nishant: yes the places menu will list the partitions accessible [10:40] I see [10:41] llutz_: "The most common thing to be mounted is a hard drive partition" source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [10:41] Are there any programs similar to ZENworks imaging system? [10:41] ActionParsnip: man mount [10:41] Basically you partition a HDD and the install OS in one of the partitions which is the primary parition . [10:41] I'm not too sure about using commands <_<" [10:41] ActionParsnip: take LVM spread over several drives, take a drive not holding a single partition. then you see, you're wrong [10:42] ActionParsnip: its a common mistake to speak about "mounting partitions" [10:42] llutz_: I guess its more generic to include NFS, Samba etc [10:42] MarkAng: OK, everyone, MarkAng prefers a GUI method. [10:42] ActionParsnip: you always mount filesystem, whatever contains them [10:42] :) [10:43] little lesson for us all :) [10:44] ActionParsnip: "whatis mount" makes it clear, authors should know what their tool does ;) [10:44] How does on get a list of the nicks on a channel? I cannot remember the command to do so. [10:44] [10:44] nishant: windows incorrectly calls them drives, and newcomers to the OS call stuff drives incorrectly, due to C drive and other such stuff [10:44] ActionParsnip, thank you [10:44] you format a partition or several partition together as a filesystem and you mount them toe the / directory . is that right? [10:44] no [10:45] you mount your filesystem to / [10:45] yes ActionParsnip , drives are a misnomer [10:45] MarkAng: You could (in GUI) unmount (and get a graphic view of all partitions) via Disk Utility (or GParted). [10:45] im just going to say yes [10:45] yes your right ;] [10:46] Technically the wording should be mount the paritions you have formated with so and so filesystem to the / - Fine ? [10:46] nishant: no [10:46] cdavis: /names [10:46] nishant: a filesystem can be spread over more than 1 partition, thats why you can't "mount partitions" then [10:46] parition if it is not using LVM atleast llutz [10:47] nishant: network-filesystem also don't use a partition [10:47] nishant: "you mount filesystems" is always valid [10:47] I see [10:48] ericy: Thanks [10:48] nishant: type "whatis mount" in a terminal an read. thats what the authors claim their tool does [10:48] Fine will do that [10:50] Thanks guys, will use Gparted. MarkAng out. [10:51] hi there, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 (the CD from October 10), installed all the latest updates, however, I keep having the same issue like I previously had: Notify-OSD bubbles place one place too low [10:52] Where did you guys? [10:54] a [10:55] hello [10:55] hey [10:55] word 2.0! [10:56] bubblegummybear, what do you mean one place too low? [10:56] bubblegummybear, they're not supposed to be all the way up at the panel.. [10:56] stianhj: the sound bubble comes right under the top panel, but something else like an internet connection comes under that bubble, now you might be thinking "well duh, because the sound bubble is on top of it", but it's not [10:57] bubblegummybear, it's the way it's supposed to be [10:57] stianhj: why is it supposed to be that way? [10:57] lol isnt it usually whatever proccess was running first on top [10:58] bubblegummybear, i have no idea, but it is [10:58] stianhj: shouldn't a bubble always be right under the top panel? and where there are multiple bubbles, then put them under each other? [10:58] does it matter [10:58] Syphillus: actually yeah [10:59] *the "where" in my previous IM should be "when" [10:59] why am i not using ubuntu? [10:59] bubblegummybear, I used to be annoyed with it as well.. have gotten used to the fact that it's the way it is [10:59] vhgfjc: if like gaming :)) [10:59] vhgfjc: Perhaps you forgot to install it! [11:00] stianhj: so I'm not the only one apparently, however my friend has it the way "it's supposed to be", and he didn't customize anything [11:00] Meh Ubuntu is the goods for gaming [11:00] ericy: +1 [11:00] Can anyone help me with my system startup? Mine stalls after "checking battery state... [ok]" - the problem is somewhere in /etc/init.d - but i need to find out, what script is loaded after the battery check to find out what stalls... please help me... [11:00] bubblegummybear, they don't even stack anymore.. getting multiple notifications will just queue them [11:00] syhillus: like what game? [11:00] check your logs [11:00] vietred: grab the penumbra demos, or urban terror :) [11:00] nicofs [11:00] odix, how? [11:00] where are the daemons located?

[11:02] wow runs fine in wine. [11:02] stianhj: I'm starting to think he's wrong since we both haven't customized it and have it the "wrong way" [11:02] plz help me [11:02] sweet [11:02] nicofs [11:02] thats a google question for sure [11:02] vhgfjc: /etc/init.d [11:02] "where are startup system logs linux located" [11:03] thanks [11:03] can someone reccomend a good private wow server [11:03] prob in /var [11:03] "wow runs fine in wine" - aslong as you dont have shoddy integrated gfx [11:03] bubblegummybear, there was a design document somewhere.. can't find it [11:03] stianhj: k, I'll google around a bit [11:03] how do i add programs to init.d?

[13:03] mbrochh: disk usage analyser [13:04] mbrochh: its not the best as there is no best app for any job [13:04] what is the command for that tool? [13:04] mbrochh: not sure, search in software centre and it should show its face [13:05] mbrochh: baobab was its old name at least [13:05] mbrochh: (duh) :P [13:05] jrib, thanks that was what i was searching for [13:05] ActionParsnip, thank you for the information. mrbrochh: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/baobab [13:06] mbrochh: Do: man du [13:06] Is there a dependency generation program that works on lists of items other than packages? or one i can fool into thinking i'm using packages? [13:07] The problem on my computer just happened again. I think it is a problem with the hard drive. I was in a terminal and when I used the ls command it said that there were no files found [13:07] mbrochh: du - disk usage (command line tool). [13:07] running Maverick, how do I restart the sound server? [13:07] what is the mean of the red line? [13:08] joe_9: I guess you could just use graphviz? [13:08] kandinski: killall pulseaudio it will restart on its own [13:09] ActionParsnip: what part you need to see??? [13:09] Emanon1: I think that link is only for the synaptics driver resume on suspend, not the same as running a script that has nothing to do with synaptic mouse. I'm already using that one btw, but I'll double check it [13:09] jrib, what exactly would that do? [13:09] joe_9: http://www.graphviz.org/ [13:09] oh pardon I just searched "ubuntu run on resume" in google and gave the ubuntu link that looked right needlez [13:10] joe_9: erm, wrong person... [13:10] gedaS: all, just make a pastebin and provide the link please :) [13:10] figured it would just take some small alterations [13:10] Emanon1: I guess you could just use graphviz [13:10] mbrochh: Can you use command line tools (in a terminal window)?

[13:15] Just want to enter title (maybe description) and pre-req's for tons of classes and have it build me a tree [13:15] gedaS: you have added some PPAs but not imported the key, so it is untrusted [13:15] gedaS: the command imports the 3 keys you are lacking [13:15] xj red words are probably any message that has your name in it [13:15] ActionParsnip: Okey, but I get the same error [13:16] Emanon1,got it!

It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[15:29] wtbtr: very good [15:29] where are the header files that I need to include in my c++ X Windows program on ubuntu?

[15:31] alex__: huh? [15:31] yes. use Windows API [15:32] Hi,I used arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc to compile simple helloworld.c, but it told me couldn't find stdio.h,how to solve it? [15:32] alex__: what? [15:32] alex__: for? [15:32] #oce@n [15:32] alex__: /join #windows [15:32] automating a process. [15:32] alex__: linux can automate a process too..>_> [15:32] too bad I can't find any information about doing so [15:32] Xorg/x11 is a big mess [15:33] which process do you wish to automate? [15:33] alex__: most people program in higher-level toolkits, not Xlib. i suggest you do the same. [15:33] Internet explorer in a VM [15:33] oracle virtualbox [15:33] why not ietab? [15:33] ietab? [15:33] im having some screen tearing only while watching flash videos on cnn.com etc. is there a vsync setting somewhere for flash specifically? [15:33] ietab extension for firefoxs [15:34] another thing, When I get the gnome gui question for admin password, it claims that I entered incorrect password. I don't have an admin password so I enter mine. I like the password to be remembered for some apps. [15:34] firefox [15:34] eh. i need to click things ruan [15:34] like flash games. [15:34] sipior, which toolkits? [15:34] alex__: gtk+ is an obvious choice. [15:34] ietab opens a tab in firefox with ie.. [15:34] wtbtr: what "gnome gui question for admin password"? [15:35] so you can click flash games i guess [15:35] like flames. <-- i swear i read this [15:35] like flames? [15:35] yep, flames. arguing over provocations with no constructive arguments... === VirUs is now known as aLiSs [15:36] When I try to start synaptic, a dialog pops up saying "Enter the administrative password...". It offers to remember the passord for session or "in the keyring". [15:36] hi, anyone here use rsync for backups? [15:36] Particularly... for backing up the /home directories? [15:37] Sonne, it looks like you are trying to start a flamewar not me. [15:37] wtbtr: What OS do you have installed on your computer? [15:37] e-head: what's your question, exactly? [15:37] I was just wondering if anyone had a good exclude file that would leave out all the extraneous junk from the home directories. [15:37] wtbtr: Have you added new users to your system? [15:37] !info rsync [15:37] rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard.

Command-line install, then I used a script called perfectminimal to install minimal gnome desktop and some other stuff. [15:38] e-head: i tend to use "rm" to deal with extraneous junk in my home directory. [15:38] I'm getting all sorts of warnings and errors about files that look like they are locked by the X-window system or something else. [15:38] it makes for a snappy system:) [15:38] wtbtr: How many users? [15:38] one user, just me. [15:38] wtbtr: Then just give user password. [15:39] files like: smb-network:-b2342e20 [15:39] Tried that. mabe I'll add myself to admin. Checking that. [15:39] e-head: this is in .gvfs? [15:39] /gvfs-metadata/sftp:host=tabletennis.net,user=ebone [15:39] i uninstalled evolution mail with ubuntu soft. center and later i rebooted, why is evolution-alarm-notify running? [15:39] yeah, that is a particularly problematic directory [15:40] ^still* [15:40] wtbtr: Have you added any new users to your system? [15:40] sipior: should I just basically look through the output and add stuff methodically to the --exclude switch? [15:40] wtbtr: sudo update-manager [15:40] no [15:40] wtbtr: sudo update-manager [15:40] nevermind, removed it from startup [15:41] e-head: up to you what you want to keep. the .gvfs stuff can certainly be tossed. another possibility is just to whitelist the stuff you *do* want to keep. matter of taste. [15:41] there are several .cache directories too. [15:41] sipior: yeah, that's true. [15:41] wtbtr: Have you edited the /etc/group file? [15:42] I was hoping someone had done all this for already and would have a nice exclude file I could include. [15:42] ;) [15:42] Somebody probably has one posted on a blog somewhere, if I could only find it. [15:42] nope, not that I am aware of. === krabador is now known as darkham [15:42] will update-manager check for driver updates or does that run seperately?

[15:43] sipior: awesome, thanks. I'll check it out. [15:43] what is the name of the package that lets you add users and groups? [15:43] wtbtr: Well, I dono... just use it from CLI I guess. [15:43] where are the gtk header files? [15:43] namely [15:44] i can't seem to find them after intsalling gtk [15:44] wtbtr: useradd groupadd [15:45] there used to be a gui for messing with the users. [15:46] a more general question: Where the heck does ubuntu usually install software [15:46] i'm getting a little sick of finding things [15:46] there is a gui for messing with users [15:46] terry: You should use adduser and addgroup not "useradd" and "groupadd". Those will properly setup users. [15:47] alex__: /usr/bin, /usr/lib. try "dpkg -L " [15:47] Pici: Thanks for correction [15:47] system > administration > users and groups [15:47] terry: Otherwise things like /etc/skel/ don' [15:47] terry: Otherwise things like /etc/skel/ don't get copied and things end badly ;) [15:47] aka users-admin [15:50] Pici: Well, things don't "end badly", it's just that additional "things" are done when you run adduser ("things" that useradd doesn't do). === ron__ is now known as rbetzen [15:51] what is the command to open a terminal with a command?

As i'm russian - my system lang is RU. Everything is fine with russian texts, but when i open some documents on english or right now while typing this language in xchat - every word is being highlighted like incorrect [16:20] taiga: crunchbang [16:20] so, how can i solve that? [16:20] Dannyd, what? [16:20] one question... i have a spare old computer and wanted to make it run with Ubuntu [16:20] Jo: nice little Toshiba notebook' [16:20] you can try crunchbang...i think its still based on ubuntu...super fast [16:21] Oh, wait, the bios update lets me boot from sd cards. [16:21] cablop, how old and what specs ? [16:21] Dannyd, nice [16:21] Would that work? [16:21] based on debian they say [16:21] one question... i have a spare old computer and wanted to make it run with Ubuntu [16:21] Jo: I think you need to attach an external CD. [16:21] i has just 512 MB of ram and old athlon of 1.4 GHz and a Gefore MX440... is that hardware too old to make it run? [16:21] Ericy: I've tried with 2 external drives I have [16:21] computer has issues with both of them [16:21] cablop, that's a statement - not a question! [16:22] too old then? [16:22] cablop, your RAM is bit low , ubuntu will run ok on it tho [16:22] cablop, that'll run ubuntu, xubuntu even better [16:22] Its really fast though...coming from ubuntu I was shocked.. [16:23] cablop: yeah, you might need a lot of swap to compensate [16:23] cablop, it should run ok, a bit low on ram, maybe you should look at a xubuntu [16:23] xubuntu should be okay with it tho cablop [16:23] Dannyd, it's coming from debian [16:23] i have another computer a little less old, with 2 GB on it... and maybe if i put 1.5GB in one and 1 GB in the older... or beter t keep the 2GB in one of hem? [16:23] Ok fine you are right [16:23] cablop: i am using lubuntu with 512MB RAM. it's like lightning! [16:24] GaryD, how about 196MB RAM then? :P [16:24] So does anyone know if booting from sd cards works? [16:24] #! [16:24] 192* [16:24] That might be my only option unless I can get one of my external drives to cooperate. [16:24] does ubuntu have just a cli you can login instead of the gnome gui? [16:25] Chr|s: yes [16:25] Jo afaik it works... but not a good idea, SD and Flash cards degrade too fast from writing, so you'll kill your card so fast [16:25] Chr|s: hit ctrl+alt+f1 === elnomade is now known as elnomade|fwo [16:25] Chr|s: ctrl alt f1, and ctrl alt f7 to get out [16:25] taiga: i have used lubuntu on 256, but not any lower, so idk. [16:25] nice! thanks guys [16:25] Chr|s: or ctrl alt f8 f9 etc [16:25] Chr|s: just remove gdm and start x only when needed [16:25] Jo: Yes, booting from sd cards works. [16:26] cablop, I had !G ram on my 6yr pc and it ran kubuntu and ubuntu very nicely , I added another gig and i sped up some , but I noticed that I could run more apps simultaneously without any lag [16:26] 1G [16:26] does anyone know how to crack wifi [16:26] Jo just be sure to format it like a hard disk, that is with mbr and partition table, easy to do from disk utility on gnome [16:26] ?

They both work under WinXP normally just fine. They are to download my small dictation machine that normally connects via USB! Do y [17:19] ou think I might get lucky with Wine? [17:19] snowed, look for it and download the guide getting started with ubuntu and the final chapter is a help section for problems like that [17:20] snowed: There is a SuperGrub free rescue/repair disk...

[17:21] No, stepnjump, that's just a flag for ubottu. Go to http://appdb.winehq.org and look up the program you want to run on there [17:21] indrajeet: If you want to know about Backtrack, then go to their website, or use their IRC channel. [17:21] the sound indicator doesn't match the notify-osd one, how come? [17:21] indrajeet: We do not support backtrack here.

I've got an 602.1Mb iso file I need to email in pieces no bigger than 25Mb. The receiver can only use zip; How do I compress this file? [17:25] where is this menubar? [17:26] where does the mailbox for post reside [17:26] maz: The menubar is probably the bar along the left-hand side of the screen. [17:26] gratnam11: Do you mean for Postfix?

[17:28] Trashi: those aren't runlevels. Those are ttys.

[17:28] jrib: there u go again. gracias! [17:28] gratnam11_, I followed a few howto's but not really finding a lot of information regarding it on the internet [17:29] snowed: Excerpt from: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub-disk/ " -- You have Windows installed in a second hard disk and it does not want to boot. If you swap it from Super Grub Disk you will be able to boot it. -- You can not boot Windows because your MBR is corrupt or Grub installation is not well done or whatever.

[17:34] i found it [17:34] i typed in cat and it printed it [17:35] FOR EXAMPLE I DOWNLOAD FILM WITH UBUNTU AND WANT GIVE FILM TO WINDOWS: THEN ME CAN SEND FILM TRU ROUTER? [17:35] gratnam11_: To check mail in ~testuser/Maildir you will probably need to configure a mail client (like mutt, or alpine) to log in as "testuser". [17:35] esing123: Stop typing in caps. [17:35] NESV I DONT UNDERSTAND [17:35] esing123: Stop typing in all capital letters.

[17:36] need to play arorund with the config [17:37] esing123: Using Samba. Google it. [17:37] esing123: Last warning. Stop using caps or be removed from the channel. [17:37] ok now the office programs start but they dont work properly [17:37] WHAT IS CAPS? [17:37] gratnam11_: Do you mean you want all mail, for each recipient in one location? [17:37] THANKS NESV [17:37] *headdesk* [17:37] !caps | esing123 [17:37] esing123: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[17:39] did the last ubuntu update touch/changed something related to locales????? [17:40] since this same morning I've encoding problems in my django/python apps [17:40] rlp10: what do you mean? [17:41] When I boot my computer, instead of getting the usual graphical login screen I get the terminal. Can someone please help me with this problem? [17:41] Frxstrem: what happens if you type "startx"? [17:41] rlp10: How about "echo $str1$str2" [17:41] ruan: thanks, but I want to add the string to stdin [17:41] flash keeps randomnly crashing when watching youtube, any suggestions? [17:42] ruan: echo "1 + 2 + 3 + " | SOME_COMMAND [17:42] rlp10: to stdin of what? to stdin of cat for example would be a pipe: echo $str1$str2 | cat [17:42] ruan: it starts as it normally would [17:42] MikeChelen: using Chrome? [17:42] ruan: SOME_COMMAND puts a 4 on the end [17:42] bubblegummybear: nope firefox [17:43] rlp10: and what do you want it to do? [17:43] MikeChelen: might wanna try Chrome since that comes with a built in flash to provide you with a better experience [17:43] Alright everyone, have a good day/night (whever you are). Lunch break is over; back to work. [17:43] MikeChelen: or you could make sure you have all the latest updates [17:44] bubblegummybear: ah maybe will try chrome, according to apt-get everything is updated [17:44] yofel: I want a command that adds a string onto the end of the input piped into it [17:44] which have the better performance Ubuntu or Mac OSX? i've heard that macosx has some kernel optmizations that make it better to use their hardware. this is real? [17:44] ok MikeChelen, good luck :) [17:44] bubblegummybear: any other ways to troubleshoot flash on firefox? [17:45] rlp10: aah ok, now I got it [17:45] plusk-: a more correct way would be that Apple locks it down so OS X runs best [17:45] yofel: any thoughts, is sed the easiest way? [17:45] yofel: seems overkill [17:45] might try installing the version from adobe instead of repo version [17:45] plusk-: ubuntu is better imo, but i havent tried mac. too expensive. [17:46] MikeChelen: probably yeah, but I don't know them XD, if you're not a very dedicated user might just try a different browser (which you will like I think) [17:46] ubuntu is free and if you like the mac look you can install the macbuntu theme [17:46] MikeChelen: that might help yeah [17:46] TroN-0074: what if I need something like ProTools? :P [17:46] protools? wats that [17:47] Bubblegummybear: You run it through WINE [17:47] rlp10: Have you asked in #bash ? Perhaps they have a better solution to what you're trying to do. I can't think of one myself. [17:47] Polah: good idea :O [17:47] why would you need protools for [17:47] bubblegummybear: ok thanks :) [17:47] music production ^^ [17:47] Pici: i haven't... i'll go ask there then... thanks everyone for your suggestions [17:47] np MikeChelen, also check my PM [17:47] bubblegummybear: chrome is great, i'd like to figure out what the prob with firefox is though [17:47] rlp10: me neither, good luck [17:47] bubblegummybear, locks it down? [17:48] is it like audacity? [17:48] plusk-: yeah? [17:48] MikeChelen: What plugins are you using for Flash? [17:48] bubblegummybear, if you need protools try ubuntu studio and ardour which is pre-installed with ubuntu studio [17:48] audacity let you edit music [17:48] TroN-0074: a bit better.. lol [17:48] bubblegummybear, i didn't understand.. :( [17:48] lol yeah I know, protools is dope though [17:48] Polah: the nonfree one from adobe, installed through software center [17:48] I have a server that I can't reboot because of a stuck mount command that I can't kill -9 and reboot just hangs... any solution? (assume no physical access) [17:49] all I want to do... is reboot it! [17:49] plusk-: making it very hard to put something else on it [17:49] but yeah ubuntu studio gives you lots of tools for art and stuff [17:49] bubblegummybear, ah ok! [17:49] thanx [17:49] :) [17:49] MikeChelen: Uninstall it, make sure you have Gnash uninstalled then do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [17:49] do you have some references about it ? [17:49] TroN-0074: yeah, it's enough for me [17:49] ok i figured out why the office programs have problems [17:50] Polah: pretty sure gnash is not installed, but i'll check [17:50] plusk-: just google around a bit on setting up Ubuntu to work flawlessly on a Mac :) [17:50] but yeah if you like the mac looks try macbuntu [17:50] they are trying to pop up the registration window but it shows up for a sec and dissappears then [17:51] How do you change the Hibernate device in 10.10? [17:52] The official documentation looks dead & unmaintained [17:53] Hey guys i just downloaded the ubuntu iso, and im having trouble connecting to my wifi is there a way to just search available networks? [17:53] Is there anything i should check before updating from 10.04 to 10.10 using update-manager? in past i always did a complete reinstall, but this time i want to try update-manager. [17:53] Guest40473: change it in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and run "sudo update-initramfs" then [17:55] mang0: Which version of Ubuntu, 10.10 ? [17:55] Yes [17:56] mang0: livecd/usb? [17:56] hello. can anyone tell me how can i update a specific application. Like i want to update firefox only and no other thing. How do i do that ? Using the update manager gives a long list of updates. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 [17:57] Livecd [17:57] jayant_: use synaptic and just mark firefox for upgrade [17:57] mang0: when I installed 10.10 on my netbook, wifi didn't work until I actually installed [17:57] Aw crap [17:58] mang0: depends on the hardware, i guess [17:58] @th0r: you mean synaptic package manager ? [17:58] jayant_: right, right click on firefox and choose update from the menu [17:59] @th0r: ok thanks [17:59] is there a specific place to talk about Empathy?

[18:07] jayant_: try 'sudo apt-get update firefox', I think that will work [18:08] th0r: ok [18:08] jayant_: just make sure it wants to only update firefox [18:08] :/QUERY ericy [18:08] bernard__: What does that mean? [18:09] I'm just begin learning .sorry [18:10] bernard__: No problem. Are you just beginning IRC or Ubuntu?

What am I doing wrong?? TIA! === nosaj- is now known as nosaj === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [18:14] nimbiotics: looks like you need to use -n to set a higher size limit [18:14] syrinx_: lol [18:14] nimbiotics: error message is quite clear "too big" [18:14] 0_o [18:15] nimbiotics: you need to set a -n lower than 24956 [18:15] or equal to [18:15] syrinx_: actually, I need them to be no bigger than 25Mb, so originally I sued -n 25000, but everytime I try the command it gives an even smaller size! === D_N_X is now known as DNX [18:16] nimbiotics: try 24000? [18:16] * ruan tries -n 1 just for the fun of it [18:17] ruan: please refrain from dividing by zero in the future [18:17] nimbiotics: I think your pastebin is not true, you're running netsplit about the file suship.zip, however the error of "too big" is about sushi.iso [18:17] why don't I have an /etc/default/locale? How can I generate one? [18:17] hi there, im a newb to linux. im trying to install the eclipse ide for c++, but i dont know what the preferred folder is for unpacking/installing apps [18:17] aib: mkdir [18:17] ikonia: thats the only file in sushi.zip [18:18] nimbiotics: why are you zipping an iso [18:18] What is the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu alternate version>?? [18:18] kalimann: depends how you install it. [18:18] thebigham: only the installer [18:18] ruan, tar.gz [18:19] ikonia: cause I need to email the file and the other end (a windows user) can only receive 25Mb files [18:19] kalimann: install it from the package manager === anonymous is now known as Guest70138 [18:19] !synaptic | kalimann [18:19] kalimann: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [18:19] ikonia, what do you mean? [18:19] kalimann: eclipse ide is on ubuntu software center as well [18:19] thebigham: alternate CD gives you more installation options but doesn't let you run it as a liveCD [18:19] thebigham: The alternate installer uses the classic 'text mode' installer. It also doesn't function as a live CD. [18:19] oh, i just wasnt able to find it [18:19] thx anyway [18:19] thebigham: the installer routine is the only difference the end product is the same [18:19] kalimann: it's in there [18:19] PART [18:19] kalimann: just search "eclipse" [18:19] I'm transferring files from on HDD to another on my Ubuntu box - for some directories it's super fast and others it takes forever... i.e. we're talking either 5 MB/s or 100 MB/s - all roughly the same size files... two SATA 3.0 HDDs, any ideas? [18:20] FunnyLookinHat: seek time on the disk, [18:20] Oh okay, I have been wondering about that every time when i download ubuntu. Thanks guys [18:20] mhmm [18:21] ikonia, ? Seek time??? These files were all copied at once, so they shouldn't be fragmented or anything... [18:21] So strange [18:21] Um, Sound Recorder isn't recording with my microphone. [18:21] guess i'll just shsare it w/google docs [18:21] FunnyLookinHat: they can be on different parts of the disk, so will need to seek [18:22] ikonia, oh - man that's annoying... Thanks for the explanation though : [18:22] :) [18:22] In fact, it isn't recording at all! [18:22] alegend45: have you tried the sound preferences? [18:22] NO. === Canon is now known as Acid190 [18:22] OK, thanks! [18:23] but just a hypothetical question, where does all the programs that get installed go? [18:23] hi. i want to use the new gnome 3 ... im using ubuntu maverick ... is it possbile to update gnome enviroment? [18:23] kalimann: all across the file system, not one place [18:24] Trashi: no [18:24] kalimann: yeah, different places. [18:24] damn [18:24] kalimann: libraries are stored in /lib or /usr/lib etc [18:24] ikonia: what is the best way to get gnome 3? [18:24] ikonia: uninstall gnome and install gnome3? [18:24] ruan, libraries, defined as in..? [18:24] Trashi, you'd have to use the Gnome 3/Gnome Shell PPA [18:24] Trashi: get a distro that has gnome 3 package by default [18:25] kalimann: libraries for applications. [18:25] ruan, aight thx [18:25] Trashi, and yes it IS possible, just not supported since it's a third party PPA [18:25] kalimann: /usr/lib/ seems to have the most [18:25] ikonia: whats about unbuntu 11.04 ... will it work with gnome3? [18:25] Trashi: no [18:25] hey is there a way to add mx records in /etc/hosts or something [18:25] does all this stuff come by itself slowly? coz man it seems complex [18:25] Trashi, so, what ikonia told you, was wrong. Do a little googleing and you will find the PPA [18:25] gratnam11_: no [18:26] to test out mailsevers localy [18:26] kalimann: for example though, firefox is stored in /usr/lib/firefox-[version]/ [18:26] kalimann: The end product is usually in /home/username/.programname/ And the downloaded packages are kept temporarily in /var/apt/cache [18:26] i like to install a back up mail server [18:26] Trashi: it's not wrong, but if you want to use an untrusted PPA - go for it, follow what syn-ack's suggestion [18:26] and test it localy [18:26] how can i go about doing this [18:26] ericy: the end product does not go in the home directory [18:26] ikonia I told him it was non supported, did I not? [18:26] !enter | gratnam11_ [18:26] gratnam11_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:26] ok thanks ... so basically its possible to use ubuntu with gnome3? [18:27] he asked if it was possible, not that if it was supported, ikonia [18:27] will do ubottu [18:27] gratnam11_: create an hostfile entry with the same name but different IP as your MX record [18:27] kalimann: applications usually store their settings in /home/user/.program/ [18:27] Trashi, yes, but again, it is not supported and you do so at your own risk [18:27] I stand corrected (but users config files are as I stated). [18:28] thx for the info [18:28] enlightened me indeed (: [18:29] syn-ack: yes i took note of this ... thanks @ all [18:29] Trashi, and the Gnome3 PPA for Mav hasn't been updated in quite a while, so it's rather lacking [18:30] syn-ack: i think, its the best to wait until ubuntu supports gnome3 out of the box [18:30] ^ [18:30] Trashi, it won't be. [18:30] syn-ack: why not ? [18:30] Trashi, Natty uses Unity, not Gnome-Shell [18:31] Trashi, and as of right now at least, Gnome shell is NOT in the Natty repo [18:31] syn-ack: aaah ok ... i understand ... so i'll install opensuse ... i think it supports gnome3 ... thanks [18:31] Trashi, tbh, I highly doubt it will be either. === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay [18:31] hi === Guest52843 is now known as DarkDevil [18:32] i've got a quwstion [18:32] question* [18:32] shoot [18:32] why do i have to remove gnome-panel if i remove evolution data server? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest34930 [18:32] how can i change sound settings on lubuntu cause alsamixer doesn't works [18:32] ruan, Because it's a dep of gnome-panel [18:33] llutz: i was able to keep the same UUID for the hibernate device, (no need to update /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume) but suspend still does not work, in pm-suspend.log i get: "s2disk: Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a). Reason: No such device" [18:33] with no other error [18:33] hmm. [18:33] i've instaled aumix but terminal said that there is no file name like this [18:33] ok [18:34] Guest40473: aren't you using that hibernation-device as swap? [18:34] ferbiss: you may want to try #lubuntu [18:34] llutz: yes, it shows up in /proc/swaps [18:34] what is it? [18:34] Anyone have any ideas why I might "see through" back areas on the page as if they were transparent with the most recent nvidia drivers? downgrading to 173 solves the problem. It looks like the thing behind the screen is fash (I see youtube). I'm running with a 8400GS. [18:34] *flash [18:35] If I try to take a screen cap, the effect doesn't show up in the resulting png. [18:35] ferbiss: the lubuntu channel [18:35] aa o [18:35] ;) [18:35] doesn't seem very active though [18:35] llutz: swaps says sda7, and ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ says that the 3b0f54* UUID [18:36] maps to sda7 [18:36] <_antant_> Hi guys. I'm having a problem. I'm using a Radeon 5450 connected to my TV with HDMI and I don't get any video after installing [18:36] Guest40473: and thats the UUID the resume-file contains? no idea what's wrong with that, sorry [18:36] is there any way i can get back drag n drop in compiz using the scale plugin ? im on 10.10 [18:37] yep, cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume prints RESUME=UUID=3b0f54c5-349b-48a7-a4d8-7bda3b3d9f03 [18:37] wait [18:37] if i need to update initramfs [18:38] (or would have) [18:38] mean a shutdown/reboot must be required for some reason? [18:38] _antant_, installing the driver for the radeon ? [18:38] so hibernate must still be thinking that this UUID maps to sda8, because that is what it mapped to on boot? [18:38] bleh [18:39] Guest40473: that's possible, reboot to check [18:39] -_- [18:39] <_antant_> BluesKaj, yeah on install rather than using the open source one [18:41] _antant_, usually the recommended driver in 'hardware' will work, rather than the one off the website [18:43] <_antant_> I'll give the open source one a shot. Hopefully it'll help. Really wanted my linux htpc [18:43] how do i setup plop [18:44] <_antant_> eat food, wait, go to bathroom, pull trousers down, sit on toilet [18:45] <_antant_> high fibre food recommended or you might accidentally set up whoossshhhhh [18:45] No love then.. curse nvidia and flash, the antimatter of ubuntu! [18:46] _antant_: Lets try to stay on topic here. [18:46] how do i setup plop boot manger [18:46] <_antant_> lol. Just trying to help.# [18:46] quit [18:46] thx [18:47] skullboy: Presumably follow the instructions from wherever you got it, as I don't see it in the repos. [18:47] Hi. I'm trying to go from make 3.80 to 3.81 [18:47] i downloaded make 3.81 and ran [18:47] ./configure [18:47] make [18:47] make install [18:47] and i'm still at 3.80 anything else i should do? [18:48] what are you talking about [18:48] gnu make [18:48] of what [18:49] um of what...? [18:49] Where can I find a new kernel to install in Ubuntu? I would like to try 2.6.38 because of a performance bug I experience in 2.6.35 with dm-crypt/LUKS. Is there a PPA or something like that for new kernel packages? [18:49] what's the difference between symlinks and other links? [18:50] what is the program personally 3.80 3.81 are just numbers, === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [18:50] i have gnu make ver 3.80, wish to go to version 3.81 [18:50] !info make [18:50] make (source: make-dfsg): An utility for Directing compilation.. In component main, is standard. Version 3.81-8 (maverick), package size 152 kB, installed size 1208 kB [18:50] <_antant_> ok, I now have video but I've got a purple line down the left of my screen [18:50] natrixnatrix89, symlinks are not "real links" and can thus be seen with various tools like 'ls'. [18:51] ah thanks [18:51] and what do "real links" do? [18:51] i'm rebooting my box, trying to see if that makes a difference [18:51] natrixnatrix89, hardlinks are *real* links. That is, inodes pointing to the same actual file. [18:51] will firefox 4 be incorporated in the next ubuntu relase? [18:52] natrixnatrix89: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link [18:52] thank's [18:52] natrixnatrix89, Google found quick explanation of the difference here: http://www.brunolinux.com/02-The_Terminal/Hardlinks_and_Symlinks.html [18:52] Hey everyone, Im running Zoneminder and am working hard to configure the motion detection. I gave it a seperate partition sole use is to store my video files? Can anyone help me save the files to that partition and not the system partition? [18:53] Prinler^Lin, where did you configure ZM to store the files? [18:53] default [18:53] I didnt :) [18:53] Prinler^Lin, actually, I think there is a #zoneminder or something like that. [18:53] ok lemme look :) [18:53] Prinler^Lin, ok, you *will* have to look at the configuration. [18:53] hmm. so If you have hardlink to a file, you can read the file even if you don't have permissions to that file? [18:54] tdn ty [18:54] natrixnatrix89, I don't think you can make a hardlink to a file that you do not have permissions to. [18:54] tdn: yeah. but you have permission, make a link and change permission, and you can still access it.. [18:54] that's what I meant.. [18:55] ok, rebooting my box works. I see the version of make that i need [18:55] natrixnatrix89, if you change the permissions on one of them, it will also change on the other. [18:55] funny, thought that was a windows thing [18:55] natrixnatrix89, it is *the same file* [18:55] oh. [18:55] ok [18:55] hi guys, is there a ppa for maverick with kernel 2.6.38? [18:56] now I get it [18:56] thanks [18:56] Hi! I'm using a skystar 2 dvb-2 card under 10.10 and it does not work after waking up from suspend to ram. Can anybody please tell how to fix this? [18:57] I have 2 questions. 1). For some reason Compiz will not display the effects I ask it to. 2). Does Task Manager usually take 15% of my CPU to use? [18:58] system -->preference-->appereance--> visual effects doesnot changes why ? m using 64bit ubuntu and also i have nvidia installed [18:58] no one knows about new kernel ppa? [18:58] Can someone explain to me on how to install Firefox 4 inside Ubuntu? Possibly link me to a guide that can help me. [18:58] Just use Ubuntu Software Center. [18:58] orangutan: You may try the mainline kernel PPA, but that goes with all the normal caveats of using a PPA. [18:59] just got a kodak easyshareM580 with plugand play download software whats the best way to get around the windoes issue [18:59] does wine work as if i had windows installed on the computer? === Axlin|AFK is now known as Axlin [18:59] Pici: kind of caveats? [18:59] Lusmus: Wine works with only some programs, not all. [19:00] Lusmus: not exactly [19:00] orangutan: PPAs are unsupported third party packages that should be used at your own risk. [19:00] It's a compatibility layer, not a virtual or emulated Windows [19:00] why desktop visual effect under system->preference->appereance-->visual effect doesnot changes,it says Desktop effect could not be enabled [19:00] Pici: ah, that kind of caveats :D [19:00] How do I install 2.6.38 kernel in Ubuntu 10.10? Is there a PPA? [19:01] so the best way is to dual boot install one for ubuntu and windows? just to get windows stuff started? [19:01] tdn: See the reponses I just gave to orangutan [19:01] tdn: 2.6.38 is in the next release [19:01] Hi. Is it possible to have a cross compiling environment using debian environment in ubuntu via debootstrap? [19:01] any solution ?????? [19:02] Lusmus: What do you mean? [19:02] You can't boot them both at the same time to use Windows things, if that's what you just said [19:02] Polah lusmus: But there is always VMs. [19:02] lusmus: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [19:03] can i use windows 7 in MVware player? [19:03] Starminn: Yeah, I mentioned them earlier [19:03] use windows program on ubuntu [19:03] Pici, ok. What kind of caveats? [19:03] lusmus: Some program work, and many do not.It all depends on how you configure Winne and your available hardware. [19:03] Lusmus: You can either get WINE which may not work perfectly, or you run Windows virtually in Ubuntu [19:03] tdn: PPAs are unsupported third party packages that should be used at your own risk. [19:03] lusmus: what one, perhaps there is a native alternative [19:03] ThinkT510, I know. I want to test if it fixes the bugs I experience. [19:04] Pici, ok. Have you tried it? [19:04] Hm..is there a way I can copy my windows 7 partition into a virtual box without damaging the actual partition in any way? >> Or must I go with windows XP for my virtual box? :/ (Wine doesn't work with everything.) [19:04] Howdy, Is there a way to open a program, switch desktops, & not have the program follow to that desktop? [19:04] tdn: No. But I'm running Natty on my laptop, so I guess I'm putting up with some issues there ;) [19:04] or i can use wubi [19:04] auriga: Right click the bar at the bottom for that program, should be a option for it [19:04] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and i need to install java. when i try and install it ut says that the apptitude command was not found. does anyone know of another way i can install java that is not very complicated? [19:04] Pici, I did add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa && apt-get update. But still, the 2.6.38 kernel image package does not seem to be available. [19:05] connor_: aptitude only has one t [19:05] connor_: use apt-get instead of apptitude [19:05] rojikku, What is the option? Sit boy? [19:05] lusmus: I can honestly say Wine has not worked correctly since the update from version 1.0.1. And above that Wine has had poor gaming capabilities since the Graphics API change from Ubuntu 9.04 and above. [19:05] Pici, ok. How does Natty work at the moment? [19:05] rojikku Auriga: I think he's talking about how you start it, switch while it's opening, then it finishes launching in a different desktop? [19:05] tdn: There are issues starting gdm at the moment, and possibly other kernel issues. I haven't rebooted in a few days myself ;)_ [19:05] rojikku, thanks ill give it a shot. [19:05] auriga: It say....Only on this workspace or always on availible workspace [19:05] Pici, ok. [19:05] Starminn, Yeah you got it. [19:06] windows 7 compatability with VM player? [19:06] Will: I'm not sure on how well it works, but there's PlayOnLinux for games [19:06] rojikku, But that will mean it has to be set every time right? [19:06] auriga: It is default for me at don't follow, I really don't know. Might depend on your windows manager, not sure... [19:06] Auriga: Ah, okay. What rojikku was saying was simply when it stays with you after you open it. You can tell it to always follow you. In regards to what you're talking about, though, I don't know but I certainly wish I did. I always just wait until it launches. [19:07] will; link and instructions for playon here resolvtek.com/justin [19:07] rojikku, it says the package is referd to by another package. [19:07] Pici, would you say that the new kernel package should be available after running add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa? [19:07] rojikku: Your computer might be too fast for this to happen, but launch a heavy program that takes a little to launch, and quickly switch workspaces [19:07] Starminn, I'm playing with Vm's though, meaning there are a lot of reboots, so I am restarting a lot... [19:07] connor_: I honestly don't know...xD I just use sudo apt-get install (Program name) and etc... [19:08] Pici, these are the results from apt-cache search linux-image: http://paste.adora.dk/P1990.txt [19:08] starminn: xD Yeah, I have 4 gig of ram and then another 4 gig of swap that doesn't even get used so...xP [19:08] When using dist-upgrade, could I upgrade to 64-bit or would it stay as 32-bit? [19:09] rojikku: I've got 4 1/2GB of RAM but an older, hyper-threading processor. So try launching some game or maybe Open/Libre Office or something. I'm not sure why it does it, but it's always happened for me. [19:09] when i clicking to install update in update manager the update manger window just flashes no installation occurs? [19:09] I have a webcam, but it does not work when I plug it in. It does not work with Empathy or Cheese? Where can I find drivers for it? [19:09] Polah:PlayonLinux still uses Wine.In Ubuntu 10.04 and above uses a higher version of Wine which has very poor gaming capabilities on older hardware. [19:09] tdn: One moment [19:09] rojikku, I have no options saying for the window to stay where it is started... Any other ideas? [19:09] Will: Oh, I thought it was something different. My mistake [19:09] starminn: Lol, I have a fairly new computer so..Btw, know of any way to copy windows 7 into virtual box without damaging it? Really prefer 7 over XP [19:10] i am unable to change what window i see any hints how to fix? [19:10] auriga: At the bottom of the screen you right clicked the bar you minimize/select windows with? [19:10] when i clicking to install update in update manager the update manger window just flashes no installation occurs?help [19:10] I have a webcam, but it does not work when I plug it in. It does not work with Empathy or Cheese? Where can I find drivers for it? [19:10] Sparky44: How so? The panel window list is gone? [19:10] rojikku, You said to right click the app no? [19:10] jiltdil: any errors? [19:10] AgentTeddie: Google your webcam model alongside "linux drivers" [19:10] Polah: Lol, it's ok. I know what his main problem would be. Which is and updated version of Wine. And the updated API setup which the new graphics drivers run in. [19:10] auriga: On the bar representing your ap on the panel at the bottom of the screen [19:10] panal windo list is there i try to click a windo and it will not go there [19:10] rojikku: I have heard various rumors of being able to do it, and spoken with a few people who say they've done it in the past but took a *lot* of thinking and fiddling. I, myself, don't know the method and couldn't find it after quite some time of looking, though. [19:11] I have and I do not get anything, it is a SiGma Micro Usb Webcam [19:11] auriga: The windows list [19:11] I cannot find crap [19:11] Polah: Other than that, common software will usually run in Wine. [19:11] syrinx: no errors and also s/w manager s/w also is not installing when i click to install it just flashes [19:11] rojikku: Have you tried asking in #virtualbox and/or ##windows (preferably the former) [19:11] starminn: Ah...Well I did it once, just that it wouldn't actually load...and no I havn't tried.. [19:11] Pici: same results here with that ppa [19:11] rojikku, Yes, I right clicked that. ALl I got was move to, or always on visible workspace, & always on top. [19:11] jiltdil: the ubuntu updater or...are you updating with synaptic? [19:12] auriga: Unclick the always visible, there should be only on this workspace below it, select that [19:12] syrinx: ubuntu update now i give sudo update-manager in alt+f2 it starts [19:12] syrinx: but how these settings are changed [19:12] rojikku, Yeah I have that already, but it still opens & follows. [19:12] polah: window list exists just when i click it wont go to it [19:13] jiltdil: what do you mean? probably just needed to run it as root [19:13] possible to use gnome without unity in natty release? [19:13] syrinx: as before today it works fine without ,means just clicking to install option it start to install [19:13] Sparky44: Try deleting it and readding it to the panel [19:13] auriga: If it updates while you are on another workspace then it switches automatically, found that with virtual box..I dunno, maybe look in windows manager settings [19:13] polah how do i re add it after deleating it [19:13] After recently installing the new linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic update, X stopped working. I use the nvidia driver. So that might be related. How do I fix this? [19:14] sparky44, right click > add to panel [19:14] jiltdil: I've had issues before with the ubuntu updater; sometimes when I try to update certain packages it locks up, specifically PlayOnLinux [19:14] polah; thanks trying now [19:14] Does anyone know if there is ANY way possible to get updates or link to some sort of an update server for Ubuntu 8.10? [19:14] !8.10 | will [19:14] will: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [19:15] will: ayyy, why not upgrade to 10.10 [19:15] rojikku, Nothing in the windows settings. [19:15] I am running 10.04. [19:15] I have nothing but issues running my VGA chipset in UXA mode. [19:15] Auriga, maybe he is going for LTS? [19:15] If i could possibly switch back to EXA or XAA then i would. [19:15] syrinx: my account is admiinstartor type then why it is installing s/w only when use sudo in alt+f2 [19:15] syrinx_, maybe he is going for LTS? [19:15] auriga: Windows manager, not windows..right? [19:15] Auriga, that was for syrinx_, sorry. [19:15] syrinx:this problem arises from today [19:16] tdn: I guess but.... [19:16] jiltdil: change any settings? [19:16] SudoKing: Yes, there is. It ships with the option for "Classic GNOME" or you could just install GNOME Shell and set it as default or whatever you wish. [19:16] syrinx:no [19:16] hmmm [19:16] rojikku, Correct. [19:16] SudoKing: But Natty discussion should take place in #ubuntu+1 [19:16] orangutan, tdn: I'm not seeing a PPA, but there is this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds [19:16] i don't know what could be the problem; did it update ok just now? [19:16] polah; did not work [19:17] sparky44: You could try resetting your GNOME panels [19:17] auriga: Uhm, besides that I am unsure.. [19:17] syrinx: i am surprised why this is happening [19:17] anyone knows a package for autofill webforms? [19:17] Pici: mainline ppa is for lucid, if i use that and install anyway the kernel may i have troubles? [19:17] rojikku, Lol okay... Thanks anyways... I'll try & work it out. [19:17] polah; not used to ubuntu how do i do that [19:17] auriga: Good luck! ^^ [19:17] !resetpanel | sparky44 [19:17] sparky44: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:18] rojikku, I'm sure it will be needed. [19:18] orangutan: Yes. [19:18] I'm having a problem with locale problems on Ubuntu Server 10.04, I'v tried "dpkg-reconfigure locales" but this is all i get, i'v also installed everything in locales-* lulz... prolly wasn't the best idea. http://pastie.org/pastes/1679695/text [19:18] Ah, thank you Starminn, I was looking up the commands myself [19:18] that past is my output... [19:18] Will Ubuntu install on it's own partition with EXT3 without interrupting the MBR for Windows 7 or causing 7 to have a fit? [19:18] Pici: ok, i wait [19:19] Polah: : ) I figured. IT's a tough one to remember because there's so many synonyms. I always had to look it up myself so I figured I'd try to save some time. [19:19] Hello [19:19] hi [19:19] will: you can choose not to install grub to the mbr in the installer, but you need to configure your current bootloader to boot ubuntu [19:20] I'm having some issues with running 3d games, does anyone want to try to help me?

[19:22] !resetpanels [19:22] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:22] no help? [19:22] hey folks [19:23] recursive-unset command not found [19:23] Polah: To be honest, I've never noticed any difference from gconftol --recurse-unset and just plain "killall gnome-panel". Killall has always worked fine for me and others. I think Ubottu just likes going overkill. [19:23] anyone using wine on 10.10? I'm trying to get my sound working properly, but it doesn't seem to work for wine. [19:23] can this "chromium-browse[2509]: segfault at 28 ip 00007fc63f4ece5e" be a cause for a system crash? [19:23] Starminn: killing gnome-panel won't reset the any changes that you made to the panels since your user was created. [19:24] polah; recursive-unset command not found [19:24] is there any way to undo a rm * ? [19:24] No, sparky: Starminn linked you [19:24] sparky44: did you read what ubottu stated? Polah [19:24] !resetpanels | sparky44 [19:24] sparky44: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:25] Pici: What do you mean? When I run "killall gnome-panel" it resets to how I got it when I first installed Ubuntu.

[19:25] Pici, you said "one moment". [19:26] bash??? [19:26] is this a group meeting or an open one? [19:26] Starminn: It shouldn't. 'killall gnome-panel' just stops any gnome-panel processes. It doesn't make any configuration changes. [19:26] fesck: BASH! [19:26] okay....i there anywhere i can set rm to always ask "are you sure" ? [19:26] Pici: Ah.

First thing I notice is that there are 4 updates. Is there a difference between installing updates and doing full upgrades to the next version (like 10.10 or higher). The commands I have seen the most are apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Will apt-get upgrade move me up to the the next release, or just updates packages from my current 10.04.2... [19:59] ...release? [20:00] bhauff: apt-get upgrade will not move you up to the next release [20:00] bhauff: should just upgrade your packages that are 'marked for upgrade' [20:01] Is there a command/process for moving up releases? [20:01] bhauff: dist-upgrade upgrades your release version I believe [20:01] bhauff: dist-upgrade/full-upgrade will not upgrade you to a new release.

The problem is that even with ifconfig wlan0 down wlan0 keep on getting UP!!! I don't need wlan0 since it's crap <-laptop's antena. How can I ban wlan0 ? I'm loosing my nerve here. THe problem is that it keeps on getting IP and so my connection drops constantly... [21:25] matthewmain_: having a look? [21:25] Perhaps I can hide the boot partition instead [21:25] Polah: no, ctrl alt F2 will get you to a TTY .. alt F2 will bring up a run dialog [21:25] i wanna make a ubuntu box talk to a MS (server) box. is samba what i need?

[21:26] need? 1. suggested at least 2. [21:26] lasha, keep it , you may need it , one never knows [21:26] just 1, but more if you want to worry [21:26] Samuel2: At least two, one for swap; one mounted at / [21:26] I forgot about swap, definitely 2 then [21:26] Polah: alt+f2 can bring you to tty2 BUT to bring you to tty7 -- GUI screen -- Desktop -- u have to press 3 btns Ctrl+Alt+F7 [21:27] Samuel2: Partition has nothing to do with disk space!

Ok at the top of the screen I click on Places, then I try to click on one of my folders, and when I click on one, it opens up a terminal, everytime for every folder... why?

[21:27] 2GB ram Polah [21:27] Give swap equal or greater than ram if you want hibernate [21:27] So set it to 2GB [21:27] lasha, insignificant [21:27] that zip does not work, been there tried it [21:27] nice :)) [21:27] bubblegummybear i should... it was working earlier [21:27] otherwise you could do less as a fallback [21:27] BluesKaj ok roger that :) thank you [21:28] when i leave it to the Ubuntu installer it created a much bigger swap lol [21:28] lasha, np :) [21:28] Samuel2: The question is: How many primary partitions have you running? Windows wants the first two. Then there are two left. In each of them you can create an extended partition which give you 4 logic partitions each [21:28] AgentTeddie: what did you do between the time it was still working and the time it got messed up? [21:28] Use gparted, ubuntu installer sucks for partitioning [21:28] Hey quick question: I've got an older version of ubuntu installed (not too old, but still) and I need to upgrade my sqlite3 installation to a newer version than is available in the repos that aptitude and apt-get are hitting.

[21:29] got about 180gb for the ext3 [21:29] matthewmain_: If no result and just command prompt, you didn't put it in right place [21:29] Samuel2, why ext3 and not ext4? [21:29] bubblegummybear: positive, i downloaded a tar.gz file, that is what I am trying to get to so i can compile it, but when i click on my folders it opens a terminal [21:29] Its best to give Windows a primary then make the rest an extended partition [21:30] zip does not open up [21:30] if you have windows at all :D [21:30] how can i create a ext3? the app i used only offers ext2 and 3 [21:30] Samuel2: remove the ext3 and create an extended. Then put in there a 30GB for the linux / (root), remaining space - RAM for your /home, RAM-sized for swap. Thats it. [21:30] AgentTeddie: open a terminal and type in "nautilus" without the quotes and hit enter [21:30] AgentTeddie: let's PM btw, cleaner view [21:30] seems like a logical setup saulus [21:31] Any ideas how to have only wlan1 wireless device and not wlan0 ?

[23:45] nsd_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:45] Stryker: if you're using ubuntu, killing X is no longer ctrl-alt-backspace, so i'm not sure [23:45] you may want to google that, or just boot with a livecd [23:45] Stryker: you can activate ctrl+alt+backspace [23:45] it is a live cd [23:45] Stryker: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:45] zvacet: thank you; i knew there had to be a proper command [23:45] the resolution is too high for my screen on the cd [23:45] hi! I need help: I want to install ubuntu 10.10 server in my computer but it has a GPT partitions table. I don't found gparted in this install. How can i resolve it ? [23:46] Stryker: because you dont have graphics driver installed. [23:46] Stryker: what res is it capable of? [23:46] spikey_: what is GPT? [23:46] i've never had that problem before [23:46] it is capable of 1280x768 [23:46] wechat, damian: I think I've found the setting to adjust to make it work [23:46] Stryker: you cant install graphics driver in a livecd.. because you need to restart..

[23:47] Stryker: go to System Preferences Monitor [23:47] to lower the res so you can see everything? [23:47] how, cchildress [23:47] how shutd0wn [23:47] follow shutd0wn instructions [23:47] nsd_: mywaytolinux.blogspot.com - repair grub under ATB :) [23:48] Stryker: go to Ubuntu menu.. System - Preferences - Monitor [23:48] go to the system -> preferences menu, and choose monitor settings [23:48] it boots up, then it says out of range on my monitor, i cannot get into x [23:48] ahh [23:48] lol.. [23:48] i cannot do that [23:48] hit alt-F2 and see if you get a cli [23:48] i do get a virtual terminal [23:48] shutd0wn, livecds are meant for testing it out, but they are also given the capability to help fix your computer [23:48] it is visible too [23:49] good, good...then you should be able to log in and perform a text-based install from there [23:49] unless it automatically logs you in...i can't remember [23:49] i am not installing [23:49] damian: I dont know if he wants to fix resolution using the livecd.. if that is the case so yea.. :) [23:49] i am using it to browse web without traces [23:49] i want to fix the res of the livecd so i can use it [23:49] Stryker: you may want to try the alternative disk, then. perhaps it will better support your video solution [23:50] Stryker: install video driver on it. [23:50] i cannot [23:50] because i'm not sure how you'd alter the res out of X in the livecd environment [23:50] Stryker: also maybe look at private browsing so you can browse without leaving traces on the pc [23:50] histo: not possible in livecd [23:50] shutd0wn: sure it is [23:50] histo: you need to restart to activate video drivers right? [23:50] you have to restart X, but it's possible [23:50] it is possible, as the cd writes its filesystem onto the memory [23:50] oh ok [23:50] shutd0wn: no modprobe will get it [23:50] not the driver part tho [23:51] i do not need drivers, i need a lower resolution [23:51] nothing stays though....so you have to change it *every* time [23:51] unless you make a bootable flash drive and have a change file... [23:51] Stryker: you mean a bigger resolution .. like 1024 === fernando is now known as Guest42844 [23:51] wechat:: parted is not present and fdisk doesn't support GPT :( [23:51] the stupid livecds have done this b4 to me, and i used a command that made a commandline window pop up and walked me thru my settings [23:52] hmm [23:52] i need 1024x768 cuz it is my fav res [23:52] shutd0wn: no you don't have to restart [23:52] Stryker: ok...then at least we know there is already something for it [23:52] ok [23:52] shutd0wn: you can modprobe the module and restart X [23:52] nice [23:52] but the live cd wants it to be much higher [23:52] spikey_: install parted [23:52] Stryker: see http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [23:52] how do i mod probe [23:52] good morning everyone! [23:52] spikey_, http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html [23:52] xj: night [23:52] Stryker: you probably won't need to, if you're lowering the resolution [23:53] Stryker: you only install the driver if you can't get a high enough res, or a specific res/refresh rate etc [23:53] or if you want 3d accelleratoin [23:53] which shouldn't matter to you [23:53] will xrandr work while x is already initiated [23:53] night?
