[00:06] histo I have added this into smb.conf so far : http://pastebin.com/h4V8Wmww [00:06] esing123: well you have several options. You could create a samba share on the ubuntu computer and windows 7 would be able to browse to it with proper settings. [00:06] esing123: what is the connection type beetween two machines? [00:06] giiker: i don't see any gpu settings [00:07] giiker: but i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:07] wechat wlan ofc [00:07] where do I put my bash script so that it's in the $path?

[00:07] *then [00:07] @exutux: bash doesn't use one of the standard rc files, it's not a problem in ubuntu but in one other linux system... [00:07] semitones: you can add it like the example in ~/.profile [00:07] esing123: okay does the windows computer see the ubuntu computer in the Network sectioin? [00:07] semitones: echo $PATH [00:07] anyone ? [00:07] histo no unfornatutly not [00:08] esing123: try clicking on start and going to run and type //ipofubuntucomputer [00:08] flohuels: so this is worng channel [00:08] semitones: err..i misread.. you can have a ~/bin that will be included in your PATH so that you can add your scripts there. [00:08] esing123: substituting ip with the actual ip ofcourse [00:08] wrong* [00:08] histo does it matter if I use lubuntu for the //opfubuntucomputer command? [00:08] bastidrazor, ok. too bad there isn't one automatically made for you [00:08] ihsto ah okay [00:08] hmm ok sorry for that i thought there would be many people with general screen/bash knowledge [00:08] esing123: no the actuall internal ip address [00:09] :-) but thanks [00:09] semitones: just create it mkdir ~/bin then add files to it. ~/.profile will automatically add it for you [00:09] k [00:09] oh sweet! thanks [00:09] flohuels: but bash is bash in all linux systems.... and --rcfile works too [00:09] esing123: you could also open a cmd prompt in windows from the run dialog and try to ping the ip of the lubuntu computer [00:09] bastidrazor, what extension should a bash script use? [00:09] if you can read this line press . [00:09] semitones: doesn't need one [00:09] I get the feeling my posts aren't even posting. [00:09] semitones: linux doesn't use extensions [00:09] sweet [00:09] semitones: extensions are pointles in linux. as long as its executable [00:09] maf: we can see you [00:10] oh, phew. ok [00:10] semitones: *.sh or not any . But make it chmod +x [00:10] exutux: yeah, and I will have to use --rcfile option for bash in screenrc... [00:10] semitones: after you've added it, either start a new terminal session or type source ~/.profile [00:10] ok i'll leave it as no extension [00:10] "source ~/.profile" ? [00:11] no it does not work histo [00:11] semitones: that will rerun .profile so that ~/bin is included in your PATH. [00:11] /192.168.0.100 [00:11] exutux: i also could write a script or alias that includes that option but i thought there must be the possibility to do that in screenrc itself... [00:11] /192.168.0.100:139 does not work either [00:11] esing123: forget about the port its //192.168.0.100 [00:12] esing123: if that is the ip of the lubuntu machine [00:12] hmm...by manually extracting the firmware i seem to have it going...for now [00:12] yes in my router it says lubunts ip is 100 [00:12] and in ifconfig too [00:12] so, I'm running XP and installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox...

[00:42] histo: just read the man page about the -g option thanks, will try it now with g option [00:42] esing123: ask in #lubuntu i'm not sure what "their way" is [00:42] headset: ram, its faster but you need both anyway [00:42] hmm, ok i figured out how to disable the second monitor, except the problem still exists going back to just my laptop screen -- taskbars missing text labels and unclickable [00:42] oki [00:42] thx [00:42] got it set to 0 ? [00:42] exutux , i am new , can you tell me how to uninstall a software ? [00:42] xj: sudo apt-get remove packagename [00:43] why is x-windows xlib xorg or x anything sooooooooooooooooooooo bad? [00:43] gtk included [00:43] i think it is just as other [00:43] dist-upgrade Ubuntu 10.04.1 to 10.10 only partially succeeded. '~$ sudo service gdm restart' obtains: "restart: Unknown instance:". What is the correct syntax? [00:43] it's like the x system is just one big steaming pile === root_ is now known as con_soul [00:43] alex__: what areyou trying to do? [00:43] bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [00:43] If I connect to a remote machine using PLACES/NETWORK etc I can use what I need from the GUI - how do I see that remote machine once I am connected from the command line, etc? === andrew_ is now known as Guest75903 [00:44] wechat: I will follow your suggestion. [00:44] \list [00:44] histo, i'm trying to do the windows equivalent of taking a screenshot (IN MEMORY ONLY. no jpegs, pngs or whatevers to create), and then reading the colors of pixels [00:44] soudns sooo easy doesn't it? [00:44] esing123: you must edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and put your command there [00:44] bullgard4: sudo /etc/init.d/ restart [00:44] histo: i just run links -g website, and got error: nod isplay driver, haha forgot i'm sshing to a remote box :-) [00:44] and i got lost for 7 hours in this x crap and some other sdl crap that hasn't had dcoumentation updated since 2009 [00:44] xj: you can use synaptic too [00:44] ah, this link worked, in case anyone's following along at home... http://netgator.blogspot.com/2010/06/taskbar-missing-in-ubuntu-1004.html [00:45] giiker: ahh yeah you need a worker frame buffer to do graphics with links2 unless you use X forwarding and launch it. It may work that way with the -g option. [00:45] gtk is documented just as well as sdl.. piss poor [00:45] esing123: or in ~/.config/autostart [00:45] gtk gdk gtkmm whatever it is [00:45] it's a big huge mess. [00:45] perfect thx [00:45] exutux , yes , synaptic is well [00:45] thx exutux I added it [00:46] histo: thanx again [00:46] I reboot now [00:46] and hpfully it works [00:46] linux is only good for wgetting apache servers and configuring nat and connecting a shitty website to the internet. [00:46] extux ,thanks [00:46] not for anything else you might do on a regular desktop [00:46] not at all [00:46] !language | alex__ [00:46] alex__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:46] wechat: '~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' did not produce any output. (The command was accepted.) [00:46] anything video, forget it [00:46] alex__: what you are trying to do is not something that is normally done. If you have a question about ubuntu please feel free to ask. [00:47] it's like linux is for blind people only [00:47] !ot | alex__ [00:47] alex__: #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! [00:47] expected as much. "not supported" [00:47] it's only your wrong opinion [00:47] bullgard4: restarting gdm will kill your graphics - it's like ctrl+alt+del [00:47] o well back to windows [00:47] \o/ [00:47] alex__: Niasilil? [00:48] what? [00:48] alex__: fixed: "into win*" [00:48] damian, How do u do that, and will I be able to unzip in windows? [00:48] wechat: What should I substitute for in the command: 'sudo /etc/init.d/ restart'? [00:48] I plugged in a Compaq monitor with the same resolution - works fine. So it's just that particular Dell monitor that doesn't work? Hope someone can help me understand this. [00:48] bullgard4: sudo [servicenamehere] restart, for instance: sudo service ssh restart [00:48] bullgard4: sorry, i can't remember is a gdm a service [00:49] wechat, bullgard4: yes, gdm is a service [00:49] alex__, don't you have a print screen button? [00:49] h00k: :) [00:49] stiltzkin: probably an issue with the refresh rate or hz [00:49] randomuser, i'm trying to apply the concepts of artificial intelligence to a game. [00:49] histo: had to enable graphics when compiling, aaahhhhhhh! [00:49] which invovles screen scraping. [00:49] histo, but they both seem to use the same refresh rate - 60Hz [00:49] not print screen and me manually doing things [00:49] bullgard4: the *best* way to restart gdm is `kill gdm` ^) [00:49] wechat, bullgard4: sudo service gdm restart <- this works very nicely [00:50] but yea.. the whole x windows system is completely broken [00:50] there has even been a book written about how broken it is [00:50] !troll > alex__ [00:50] alex__, so you have one entity that needs to react to another, and it's "input" comes from color recognition and screen scraping? [00:50] stiltzkin: odd [00:50] yes randomuser [00:50] hook: ok, :) i'm usually restart apache and openvpn not gdm :) [00:50] histo, I'd much rather use the Dell panel if possible - the Compaq is a hulking beast [00:51] specifically, i'm doing a neural network ocr thing. [00:51] h00k: It does not work nicely. It obtains with me: "restart: Unknown instance:". [00:51] alex__: "Niasilil" == give up [00:51] it's easy in windows.. getdesktopwindow(), get the device context, getpixel() job done. [00:51] alex__, is there somethigng that led you to believe this is sound methodology for programming a game? [00:51] randomuser [00:51] bullgard4: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm --help [00:51] i'm not programming a game, please read [00:51] stiltzkin: there may be some X experts that can get you going around here. But i'd bet you'll find the same issue with any distro that is running bullet proof X and that monitor [00:51] randomuser, i'm trying to apply the concepts of artificial intelligence to a game. [00:52] alex__: Delphi? [00:52] yes. Never hear of deep blue? but this is OCR instead [00:52] i'm not programming a game. [00:52] histo, indeed, this is not an ubuntu-specific problem. I tried Arch and I have Lenny running at the moment. Same issue [00:52] i'm programming soemthing that recognizes objects on the screen [00:52] I would think the scope of this argument is beyond this channel alex__ [00:52] based on images. [00:52] histo, it just baffles me that this one monitor could be completely misconfigured every time [00:52] and i can't getpixel because xwindows is broken [00:52] stiltzkin: yeah it's the way Xorg is detecting the display modes. if you specify a working mode in your xorg.conf you should be fine [00:52] alex__: It is *very* easy in windows: firfox, far, soffice ^)^)^)^)^ [00:53] !ot > alex__ [00:53] alex__, please see my private message [00:53] histo, how would I go about doing that? All I have in there now is a "Monitor" section that specifies the HorizSync and VertRefresh rates [00:53] alex__, i would have to agree with syrinx_ : if you need help with X, you should talk to X, not the people that package it for you [00:53] xwindows is very on topic [00:53] wechat: This obtains: "The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but --help is not supported for Upstart jobs." [00:54] xwindows is idependent of ubuntu, thus not fit for this channel [00:54] whatever. [00:54] alex__: your problem has nothing to do with ubuntu. and you are just continously whinning about X windows nto asking questions [00:54] bullgard4: sooooooo, only restart X? [00:54] gnome is built on x windows right? [00:54] bullgard4: sudo service gdm restart [00:54] alex__, i don't want to be discouraging, we need game developers [00:54] Anyone know how to make Ubuntu accept bad ram addresses (as indicated by memtest)? [00:54] That is, ignore those addresses [00:54] stiltzkin: I'd check that bug report you had did that guy have working modes posted? I'm sure there is working xorg.conf somewhere on line. [00:55] alex__: i would try in #linuxhelp or #xorg [00:55] for the last time, i'm not developing a game :/ i'm developing something to play one. I would never develop a game in any flavor of linux. there's just no drivers for video cards that work. [00:55] alex__, you should realize that one can't simply find a one-to-one conversion for every method used in windows and expect it to work. You need to learn your tools [00:55] bullgard4: or better is sudo service gdm stop && sudo service gdm start [00:55] could someone help me with this mpc volume + problem? http://pastebin.com/R1Ugqyc8 [00:55] histo, no, he didn't post his .conf file, just a list of setting specified by Dell, which I tried my best to implement into a .conf file. I've tried sample configurations but can't find anything that works [00:56] anyone using irssi here? how do I go to my terminal from inside irssi? [00:56] alex__: while you're a gaming people are building the internrt [00:56] !attitude | alex__ [00:56] alex__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [00:56] exutux: As I mentioned earlier, this fails. [00:56] giiker: /exit [00:56] stiltzkin: what is the model of monitor again? [00:56] bullgard4: so but do you have gdm? or kdm?? or other? [00:56] syrinx_: that will logme out, right? [00:56] giiker: yes [00:56] histo, I believe it is a Dell E153FPF, but I can't find a model number on it anywhere [00:57] histo, that's only from googling the serial number [00:57] syrinx_: don't want to logout of irssi [00:57] morning. yesterday afternoon I logged into a clients server, used /usr/bin/at to schedule a 5am reboot then logged out. The reboot didn't happen. [00:57] exutux: dpkg-reconfigure says he only has gdm [00:57] giiker: open a new terminal? [00:57] giiker: then you need to use another terminal, or screen [00:57] goodmorning,all [00:57] how can i remove a package that has a failed prerm and postinst script? [00:57] exutux: In the past (Ubuntu 10.04-1) I had gdm. [00:57] giiker: you could do something likie /exec commandname or use screen [00:57] What have I done wrong? Should the at commend have been run in screen? [00:57] well. i'm perfectly fine with the answer "you can't do that in ubuntu because it's broken". Now I can stop spinning my wheels in the mud. === derek__ is now known as MGMTM3 [00:57] alex__: you probably CAN do that, you just don't know how [00:58] Why is everyone being trolled so hard by this alex guy? [00:58] and i've told you this is the wrong place to try to find out how [00:58] bullgard4: pidof gdm [00:58] alex__: what are you trying to find out? [00:58] alex__: perhaps you can check the forums, but if this isn't an Ubuntu specific issue, you're better to ask in ##linux or elsewhere [00:58] can anyone help me connect to a lan network? i seem to be having some trouble? [00:58] it is very distribution dependent.. GTK c++ programming isn't something that's every distro workable. [00:58] tsimpson: funny thing is I'm running my irssi inside screen and I logged in into a remote shell using ssh, ahha, complicated, I know, I know I can just dettach, but I thought there was another way instead of pressing Ctrl -a -d [00:58] alex__: learn to use gOOgle [00:59] giiker: i use irssi inside of screen over an ssh connection so I can C-a c and create a new terminal etc.... [00:59] exutux: '~pidof gdm' does not produce any output. [00:59] bullgard4: uhm ps ax | grep gdm [00:59] bullgard4: ps aux | grep gdm [00:59] first! [00:59] giiker: here ssh > box then screen irssi then inside screen you can have as many windows as you want. C-a c for a new one [00:59] i think that it was gdm-binary [00:59] histo, nevermind, found the model number in teensy font on the bottom side, it is indeed an E153FPF [01:00] histo: I'm connected to this channel just like you, so the only way to get out of irssi without login out is dettaching? [01:00] giiker: yes [01:00] wechat i've been googling for 8 hours. Most things say: Xwindows broken. Xorg broken and no new releases. Use SDL (no documentation update since 2009). Use some GDk, gtk, gtkmm gtwhatever. use xlib. install xorg-dev. install xlib-dev. install some other stuff. it's a big mess. [01:00] giiker: no, just open another window, you don't need to detach from screen to do that [01:00] giiker: no opena new window in screen [01:00] alex__: So? [01:01] histo: you are right, forgot one can create other screens, with C-a c, thanx one again... [01:01] giiker: ctrl+a then hit c to create a new window will put you at a terminal. [01:01] giiker: ctrl+a + backspace to go back to the previous screen etc... [01:01] wechat: '~$ ps aux | grep gdm; 25841 0.0 0.0 5112 764 tty1 S+ 01:59 0:00 grep gdm'. I infer that gdm is not installed. [01:01] alex__: not only googling but REading bro [01:01] histo: let try it... [01:02] bullgard4: ps aux | grep xdm [01:02] most of what i read doesn't help.. would u like the 20 or so links that end with a question? [01:02] bullgard4: lxdm? [01:02] bullgard4: why tty1?? [01:02] they are actually ubuntu forum links [01:02] giiker: or ctrl+a+" to get a window list then you can ctrl+a+# to go to a specific window [01:02] bullgard4: fedora? [01:02] histo: awesomeeeeee, it worked... [01:02] but yes, i know this is not possible in c++.. i have to use some python junk to do this [01:02] bullgard4: are you on tty console? [01:02] even though i want maximum performance [01:03] bullgard4: Why are you hunting on gdm? :) [01:03] wechat: I am Using Ubuntu 10.10 but it is not fully configured yet. [01:03] your still trolling? [01:03] giiker: that's the whole point of screen. you can also split windows horizontally so irssi uptop and terminal below or vertically if you have hte vertical patch. (ubuntu default). [01:03] when installing ubby from the live cd, after partitioning the disks and clicking install, is it normal that the wait cursor is turning around for like 10 minutes without any new window popping up? [01:03] ctrl+a+" did not work, [01:03] bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ? [01:03] alex__: As the rather noticible lack of help you're getting from #ubuntu is showing, this channel really isn't suited to the level of support you need. You might want to look elsewhere rather than continuing to butt heads with people :\ [01:03] 1% desktop adoption rate. good job linux. [01:03] giiker: remember you have to shift ' to get a " [01:03] exutux: I am on virtual console number 1 at present. [01:03] that works too. [01:04] histo: split horizontally, how? [01:04] bl4ckcomb: `dmesg | tail -20` what says? [01:04] histo: yeah forgot to Shift [01:04] giiker: ctrl+a+s then ctrl+a+TAB to switch between them i believe [01:04] bullgard4: and sudo service gdm start doesn't works too? [01:05] giiker: after switching to the lower screen then you have to ctrl+a+backspace or open a new screen in it with c [01:05] wechat, VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr [01:05] bullgard4: you havo n0 X? [01:05] *sr0 [01:05] wechat, and then: eth1: no IPv6 routers present [01:05] bl4ckcomb: ipv6 it's ok [01:05] bl4ckcomb: have no X? [01:06] exutux, wechat I have started '~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a'. This will take a while to finish. [01:06] wechat, Xes in the dmesg log? no (or did you mean X server?) [01:06] bullgard4: so do it [01:07] bsmith093: Xserver, graphics, desktop. [01:07] histo: does that horizontal split work only in my shell or it is supposed to work only with screen? [01:07] !ics > InsaneModz [01:07] InsaneModz, please see my private message [01:07] giiker: screen [01:08] ok let try it again.... [01:08] ok let me try it again....

It's fun! [01:09] giiker: second video has audio and goes into splits [01:09] Solved my problem - all I had to do was unplug the Compaq monitor and immediately plug in the Dell one. Hope this still works after a reboot :) [01:09] histo: will watch it right now [01:10] Question? Why are games not popular in Linux? [01:10] giiker: in ubuntu they have hte vertical split patch so you cat ctrl+a+| to vertically split [01:10] Iatagore: they are popular [01:10] Iantagore: They are :) [01:10] histo: I think he means, why aren't there more of them [01:10] Iatagore: [01:10] wechat, any other suggestions? [01:10] Iatagore: devs don't write games natively for nix because it doesn't have a big enough market share [01:11] nsd_: Naw, it's as they answered [01:11] ubuntu is the best [01:11] bl4ckcomb: what is with you system? [01:11] bl4ckcomb: sudo apt-get -f install [01:11] histo: But there are indie games, and you don't see a lot of people playing those for windows === philipp__ is now known as esing123 [01:11] i need a way to install ubuntu in text mode [01:11] wechat, I just configured the installation and pressed install (live cd) [01:11] histo: At least for some [01:11] not the alternate cd..

[02:11] kothaguy_ubuntu: Natty support and discussion in #ubuntu+1, please [02:11] rww: then how do you download and install. would that be "apt-get upgrade"? [02:11] pbearie: correct [02:11] pbearie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:12] rww, :the issue is with zsync,i dont knw how to use it [02:12] yea, yum upgrade does it all in one fail swoop [02:12] kothaguy_ubuntu: just run "zsync some_url_here" in the terminal.

[02:19] something better than xchat? [02:19] starlock: whats your question? I use irssi (a command line utility) and prefer it to xchat. [02:20] Shudder: zsync downloads less data than wget if you point it at a file that you already have that's at least partially the same as the one you're downloading. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same. [02:20] sudder :Thanks for the info [02:20] econdudeawesome: google desktop has some nice searching features etc...

[02:31] histo because it was suggested in an error which I received after teamviewer broke down. teamviewer breaks down only on linux === Eddie is now known as Guest53703 [02:32] esing123: teamviewer does not need root access [02:32] starlock: try #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion [02:32] mhm [02:32] histo unfortunatly the program crashes and I need to ctrl+del [02:32] astory: there are many on the forums and online [02:32] histo i thought i should try it with root because it was recommended [02:32] esing123: what version are you trying?

[02:34] esing123: not sure how you would handle that. [02:34] histo would I need to add something like this " sudo teamviewer password?" [02:34] histo: for future folks, the best way to do this really looks like implementing R and the additional Rpy package. Best of luck! [02:34] histo how do I write sudo with pass? [02:34] has anyone here ever used a tv tuner card on ubuntu? [02:34] i just installed Ubuntu onto my dell laptop, and removed windows xp from it. now it won't recognize the internal wifi card, and i can't turn wifi on with the function + f2 command. how do i turn on my wifi card with ubuntu?

Then try putting it in the startup later on if it doesn.t [02:35] whitewolf, see my pm too :) [02:36] histo ye i should try it first [02:36] the ubuntuforums search is slow as it's been like 3 min of twirling. yet browsing other sites are instant [02:36] anyone- webcam.

[02:36] i am trying to do sftp to my server however it says "Recieved message too long" probably because i have the user set to /sbin/nologin shell. Isnt it less secure to enable shell access? and is there a different solution to this that is still secure? [02:36] i've checked the gpg man but i dont understand it. [02:37] or sudo password "password" xchat ? [02:37] lol i paid 10 euro for a 11 hours bus ride [02:37] esing123: you wouldn't you'd use visudo and edit the config. something like esing123 ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/teamviewer3 in there then your user could run teamviewer with sudo and not be prompted for password === Guest345 is now known as DarkDevil [02:38] 能否wine win7 ？ === DarkDevil is now known as Guest34171 [02:38] !zh | Evanescence [02:38] Evanescence: 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 [02:38] In the places part of the above panel how can I add a folder there?

Or a mini distro like Slitaz. [03:07] those options are defailt [03:07] lol [03:07] rcmaehl, i will try that if ajwill's doesnt work. thanks :D [03:08] kontagious: ok [03:08] Auriga: once I get my new one I'll turn the old one into a server :) [03:08] ajwill, An even better idea.

[03:08] how do i access the grub2 menu [03:09] skullboy: could you be more specific? like, do you just want it to show at boot? or change basic settings? [03:09] bosan [03:09] ajwill: i want it to show at boot [03:10] worked :D [03:10] skullboy: if I recall properly, try holding shift while booting [03:10] kontagious: great! glad to hear it! :) [03:10] is it normal for kubuntu to be running like 2gb ram? [03:10] do you mind helping me with another fs mount? [03:10] yeah sure! [03:10] subcool: how much ram do you have [03:10] 4? [03:11] it appears to use swap at 3 [03:11] skullboy: and if that doesnt work then let me know and we'll take a look at your grub file :P [03:11] ok now when i installed i didnt put swap.. the tutorial i used said add it in after. so i have a swap file in /media/Storage/1024Mb.swap [03:11] subcool: then it should uese all 4gb what kernel are you useing [03:11] okay, first things first, are you ever going to be suspending your system? [03:11] uname -r right? [03:11] no [03:12] i might accidentily though [03:12] then dont worry about it [03:12] that's all swap is for [03:12] I dont use it [03:12] its just a waste of a few GB in my opinion [03:12] 2.6.32-28-generic [03:12] i am going to be running virtual machines (up to 3 at a time) [03:12] ajwill: LIES! swap is also for when you run out of ram [03:12] i need to run 3 windows servers in vmware for college [03:12] i need swap :( [03:12] rcmaehl: really? I thought it was just for SWAPing? and suspending [03:13] i never used it before tho [03:13] skullboy, 2.6.32-28-generic [03:13] ajwill: yeah it's like windows pagefile [03:13] kontagious: okay, do you have a partition set aside for swap or no? [03:13] If you had 16GB of ram though... how often would you run out of ram...? [03:13] rcmaehl: hm, I didnt know that, thanks for informing me :) [03:14] no, i did mkswap on a file then swapon [03:14] its showing up in system monitor perfect [03:14] If i had 16GB of RAM, i would just run more programs. i'm sure i could use it all. [03:14] subcool: no thats not the problem are they mismatch [03:14] Auriga: if you're running a netbook with only 1gb of ram running Kubuntu-desktop who often whould you run out of ram?\ [03:15] rcmaehl, ....? [03:15] * rcmaehl facepalms [03:15] should i just append /media/Storage/1024Mb.swap none swap sw 0 0 [03:16] since my storage is already auto mounted [03:16] skullboy, mismatched with... what?

But was sugesting that it might. [03:21] kontagious, I've re-sized my NTFS a dozen times. Never once lost data [03:21] using the installer? [03:21] ajwill, You'll maybe want to look at 111.1.32.149 [03:22] kontagious, Using gparted on a live CD [03:22] Not that... [03:22] ajwill, gnome look .org or something so... [03:22] ajwill, I have it up in a vm right now hence not pasting. [03:23] i have hours of work saved i couldnt risk losing it. maybe i could run the swapon command at startup as an easy quick fix? [03:23] Auriga, ahh, why dont you use virtualbox? it can transfer copy.pastes ;) [03:23] *copy/pastes [03:23] I have a dual-core amd, my current distro when using top or looking at /proc/cpuinfo reveals only a single core but I remember using ubuntu amd64, it showed 2, is it just because I am runnig a 32bit distro or how can I find out? [03:23] ajwill, I do use Vbox, but that is the first time ever I have needed to copy paste from a vm. So it's not something I have looked at how to do lol. [03:23] skullboy, what am i looking for- memory? [03:24] i just skimmed through it twice [03:24] Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" and one particular video file (flv) I play has delayed audio. I'd like to play this file and have the audio properly synchronized. I'm not trying to convert the file, just to play it. Does anyone know of an application that would allow me to adjust the sound delay? [03:24] subcool: RAM [03:25] midas007, have you tried using VLC player [03:25] is there any simple way to have a script run instead of a screensaver? I wish to have the screen just immediately go to DPMS off mode when screensaver is run. This would be useful because I'd like the screen to immediately go back to sleep if there is an unsucessful login attempt at the lock screen [03:25] midas007: which audio driver are you using? [03:25] how do i upgrade a 2.6.18 kernel to 2.6.35? [03:25] skullboy, -- lol .. nothing came up. i just ran hwinfo | grep RAM [03:25] i've tried VLC but I don't see how to resynchronize the audio [03:26] I had significant audio lag when I used OSS [03:26] midas007: VLC is your best bet for determining if its a software or audio driver issue [03:26] midas007: which driver are you using? [03:26] how do I check which driver? [03:26] subcool: hwinfo --ram [03:26] midas007, That is a common problem with flash. I am pretty sure that it is actually that the data itself is not syncronized. You'd have to use a video editor to actually fix it. Not sure if such a thing exists [03:27] I need help "uncapturing" my keyboard and or mouse from a vbox. [03:27] midas007: just open the sound under preferences should indicate if its oSS, alsa, pulse or whatever [03:27] nope [03:27] skullboy, nada- usage errored [03:27] jrmcm: right-Ctrl doesnt work? [03:28] Nope. [03:28] jrmcm: right-ctrl should be your default home key unless you altered it [03:28] Sound Preferences ... Applications ... says ALSA [03:28] subcool: sorry hwinfo --memory [03:29] midas007: ah ok, also in VLC you can pick in preferences which driver to use, try forcing it to use alsa [03:29] <_antant_> Hi guys. [03:29] see if that doesnt make a difference for a start, otherwise, some videos themselves have bad encoding [03:29] <_antant_> What can I do to solve a 'java.awt.headlessexception' error? [03:29] OK, tried it with VLC. Video plays the same. Same delay. [03:29] <_antant_> Trying to run RemoteDroidServer.jar [03:29] skullboy, Memory Size: 3 GB + 512 MB [03:29] Delay about .3 secs, sound behind. [03:29] i guess it uses some for the Video [03:30] midas007: delays only appears with this video or always? [03:30] Only this video [03:30] midas007: in VLC you can alter the sync itself [03:31] elektroid, u r onto the path I'm looking for, altering the sync, preferably during playback [03:31] Tools -> Track Synchronization [03:31] subcool: so you have about 4gbs of ram [03:31] appears..

[03:40] <_antant_> elektroid (or anyone): I'm trying to run RemoteDroidServer.jar and I'm being told there's a 'java.awt.headlessexception' error. Works fine under windows. Any idea why not here? [03:40] elektroid, What is your question? [03:40] skullboy, ya, i get that. but i thought ubuntu was supposed to use like 1gb. [03:40] klabezo: an easy way to configure conky is: conky colors === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP [03:41] edbian: with my current distro, top and /proc/cpuinfo only give show 1 core, previously, I used Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and it showed 2 cores, is it just a product of using a 32bit distro?

[03:42] elektroid, 32 vs. 64 bit OS should not make a difference. That is mostly about memory mapping and performance (for apps that take advantage of it) [03:42] _antant_: I am not specifically familiar, sorry [03:42] thank you Xangua i will try [03:42] elektroid, You should def see 2 cores in 32 bit Ubuntu of 64 bit Ubuntu if you have 2 cores [03:42] subcool: kde is more demanding than gnome [03:42] i'm not getting sound from my m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712). I've been through every forum post/troubleshoot i could find and i still have no sound. any ideas? [03:42] Hi, quick question I'm having an issue with using unlock when I lock my screen through ubuntu. I have pam_tally configured to lock out user at 3 login attempts. not sure if there is something that i need to modify in pam.d to get the gnome-screensaver to let me use unlock [03:43] edbian: thats what I am worried about, is it because a 32bit distro isnt setup to use SMP in the kernel? [03:43] skullboy, ya- i know. but not 1gb... [03:44] I just got a VPS box with ubuntu 10.04 installed. I created 2 new users. How do i get them to have the same terminal feel as the original user (sorry i dont know what to call it) [03:44] elektroid, 32 vs 64 bit has no bearing on SMP. They can both use it. [03:44] subcool: well there is the apps ur running to [03:45] skullboy, once again- not 1gb. [03:45] Guys, how come the real player doesn't have the save video option in Ubuntu. It has the option in windows [03:45] edbian: I looked at the kernel config, it does have SMP, I guess I am just trying to figure out why I only have a single core available, worried I am only getting half performance [03:45] elektroid, Yes it is very strange... [03:45] i'm not getting sound from my m-audio delta 1010 (ice1712). I've been through every forum post/troubleshoot i could find and i still have no sound. any ideas? [03:45] I asked this earlier, but I forgot, how do I switch to command line only mode and switch back [03:46] elektroid, Do you have an nvidia card? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638963 [03:46] subcool: that depends what r u running [03:46] edbian: nope, ati-amd radeon [03:46] Chr|s, ctrl + alt + F1 and ctrl + alt + F7 [03:46] edbian, thanks [03:46] Symmetric multiprocessing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [03:46] In computing, symmetric multiprocessing or SMP involves a multiprocessor computer hardware architecture where two or more identical processors are connected ... [03:46] audiotrax: I would be interested to find out too because I am planning on getting a setup like that [03:46] Is there anything easy to install I could use to save streaming video or streaming video in Ubuntu? [03:47] elektroid, What is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo ? [03:47] any ideas?? [03:47] elektroid: i've seriously tried everything [03:47] skullboy, - k- thanks.. ttyl [03:47] edbian: http://pastie.org/1681254 [03:48] elektroid: I even did a completely fresh instsall of ubuntu and started from scratch....still no results [03:48] elektroid, one core is missing. I don't know why though. [03:49] from the commandline, how do I add fileA.png to myarchive.zip? [03:49] audiotrax: do you get the drivers to load at least?

I think i killed sudo... i looked it uponline and it says log in as root and change permissions. How do i do that [03:50] elektroid: you bet. the sound card is set to the default. the alsamixer comes up no problem, the system sees the card and sees the inputs. but it only gives me the option of digital outputs (which i'm assuming is the S/PDIF) and i'm not using that...i'm using analog outs 1/2 [03:50] Changing the file rights from 644 to 440 "fixed" it. [03:51] Prinler^Lin: I was gonna say cant you use sudo su to drop to root?

[03:55] wenbert: you answer is buried somewhere in the depths of 'man zip' [03:55] I was wondering if this PCMCIA usb card will work for my T40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839101111&cm_re=pcmcia_card-_-39-101-111-_-Product [03:55] wenbert: you -> your [03:55] both my USB doesnt work, I bought it like that from ebay [03:56] Anyone know how to log myself inro root so i can fix a file permission with sudo?

[03:58] Komotive: start in /var/log and see if there's anything interesting logged around the shutdowns. Also, please describe exactly what happens at one of these 'shutdowns' [03:59] Prinler^Lin: I didnt understand what you meant, if you cant use sudo then use su, what else can you do? [03:59] Prinler^Lin: can't you just boot single-user and fix the file? [03:59] I've had a good few of them now and been through the logs that I'm aware of. I can see any particular issue yet [04:00] *cant* [04:00] Kern log doesn't show anything faulting [04:00] elektroid: message me again [04:00] Komotive: ok, please describe the 'shutdown'? e.g. dead with keyboard leds flashing... [04:01] It's almost like the power just cuts out momentarily .... [04:01] audiotrax: are my msgs not going through? [04:01] Loshki, no [04:01] audiotrax: I asked if you are using Ubuntu studio and if you had installed any modules for the card [04:01] ok, please tell me what I did when I hit control-alt-F1 --- and how to recover after doing it. (says the dumbo) [04:02] Prinler^Lin: er, why can't you boot single user? [04:02] tripelbb: switched to a text terminal. ctrl-alt-F7. or sometimes F8. [04:03] tripelbb: Recover via ctrl-alt-F7 [04:03] Loshki: Is there any way to log the power info? [04:03] Komotive: It sounds hardware/power supply related. Do you have a UPS, btw? [04:03] thanks ericy quit exit didnt work. [04:03] no root password [04:04] Prinler^Lin: root password isnt necessary for single user [04:04] Loshki: No - but I may have to get one to rule it out .... [04:04] Prinler^Lin: what elektroid said... [04:04] Prinler^Lin: run level 1 = single user mode [04:05] you need root to do the command to change permissions on sudoers.d [04:05] Prinler^Lin: when you boot single user you are automatically root... [04:06] how do you unignore someone? [04:06] *raises eyebrow* [04:06] clicked the wrong button [04:06] * nick laughs at audiotrax None of that! [04:06] how do i boot into run lvl 1 [04:06] audiotrax: try #freenode for IRC help [04:06] #freenode [04:06] hi.. new here [04:07] Prinler^Lin: this should help you with single user mode and other problems http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [04:07] Prinler^Lin: you could hold shift down on reboot and go to recv mode and then drop to root shell and modify sudoers file from there [04:08] can someone tell audiotrax that he cant get my msgs [04:08] Hi, quick question I'm having an issue with using unlock when I lock my screen through ubuntu. I have pam_tally configured to lock out user at 3 login attempts. not sure if there is something that i need to modify in pam.d to get the gnome-screensaver to let me use unlock?? [04:10] hi all [04:10] needlez: you tried 'passwd -u [user]' [04:11] would anyone be up to help me pick a new laptop? [04:11] i wanna run ubuntu on it [04:11] it will be for school mostly. [04:11] elektroid: its not at a terminal, its the screensaver login it wont allow unlock, since I modified pam.d/auth-common [04:12] and this dell rep is an idiot who i am talking to via chat. [04:12] 11:11:18 PM Agent Vishnu V [04:12] You can install Ubuntu on your own but you need to uninstall the existing software [04:12] I thought Dell came with pre-installed Linux distros these days? [04:12] evidently not anymore. [04:13] audiotrax: /ignore -r to unignore. See http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html [04:13] needlez: cant reboot or what exactly? [04:13] Echo9er: you should look into the different hardware that is in the laptop and see if the laptop's hardware is supported by ubuntu [04:13] if you are account is locked out, you cant do much of anything besides rebooting [04:14] elektroid: its not that im locked out, its that when I go to use unlock on screensaver its like unlock has been disabled, says password is incorrect even though its the correct password. [04:14] how much hardware isn't supported? [04:14] h8axors === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey-laptop [04:15] elektroid: I can go to switch user and login as me but just wanted to know if I can turn back on unlock somehow [04:15] needlez: I think I misunderstood the context, basically, you can login and want to reactivate unlock for screensaver? [04:15] Echo9er: depends, some wifi cards, some graphics cards, some processors if your kernel is before 2.6.35-xx [04:16] elektroid: correct, i have to use switch user instead of unlock to login, its kinda annoying [04:16] Hmm how do i reboot into run lvl 1 from my usb drive? [04:16] it doesnt have grub [04:16] Echo9er: yeah wifi cards are the biggest pain especially if you only have one computer around, check on the supported list [04:17] !air rack-ng [04:17] Prinler^Lin: if it is a usb drive, just plug it in somewhere else and edit the file [04:17] is 2 gb enough to run ubunto? [04:17] is 2 gb enough to run ubuntu? [04:17] !aircrack-ng [04:17] Prinler^Lin: what do you want to drop to run lv 1 for?? [04:18] Echo9er: for a desktop, with the majority of common software, no [04:18] to alter the permission on sudo.... sudo is broken [04:18] oh wait, Ram? [04:18] i need root access to change it all [04:18] yeah ram [04:18] 1 gb is fine but I would go 2gb if you can [04:19] 512 mb would even be fine but it wouldnt be the best choice if you intend to use desktop programs normally [04:19] Prinler^Lin: if you want to get to root, you could just hold shift on reboot which should give you grub selection , choose recv mode and then start in root or rootshell, you'll have root permission to alter any file you need [04:19] its going to be for coding in c++ [04:19] and java [04:19] I added another 1 gig ram because I tend to have firefox, openoffice and various audio programs open at the same time [04:19] and online test. [04:19] Is there any software for xubuntu that wiy systwmll assit in clearin ALL cache, tmp and cookies on m [04:19] my system [04:20] Echo9er: if you arent doing anything intensive, you can get away with 512 but again its about comfort, I wouldnt in modern times use anything less than 2 gb [04:20] I was installing Samba and I got these weird messages in my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581453/ [04:20] how do i assign more swap space on a wubi install, last timme i tried i messed up the grub booter somehow [04:20] do you recommend ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 [04:20] well most of these laptops are 2gbs that i am looking at... thats why im asking [04:21] most os's use 400mb of ram minimum [04:21] i got windows 7 down to like 100 by disabling tons of stuff. [04:22] mrdeb: depends, for more over all long lasting support 10.04 its LTS but for bleeding edge 10.10 or if your computer runs an i7 you maybe forced to run 10.10, cuz 10.04 won't recognize some i7 systems [04:22] so to keep costs down, buy it as is with minimum specs..but make sure it supports upgrades and that they can be done easily [04:22] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157502&cm_re=hp_laptop_i3-_-34-157-502-_-Product [04:22] needlez: why not [04:22] what do you think of that one? [04:23] Echo9er: are you buying each person that helps you one too? :) [04:24] for maximum options and performance steer clear of hp,compaq,dell,alien or any other proprietay vendors...they severely limit upgrades and performance in most models [04:24] that one is more than enough [04:24] lol suuuuuure... [04:24] mrdeb: different kernels on 10.04 and 10.10 , 10.04's kernel isn't 2.6.35-xx which my i7 will only run with that kernel or newer, older kernel doesn't allow correct acpi configuration for my system [04:24] wait [04:24] dont get that hp? [04:24] which should i get then? [04:24] you just listed everyone. [04:24] the i3 and other integrated 3d gfx is mighty weak [04:25] xD [04:25] i5 is a 200 dollar jump [04:25] i'm not syaing that i'm looking this one over now [04:25] What's a good lightweight web browser that supports images?

[04:57] alright gentlemen, I've got another quick question for ya [04:58] The only wireless adapter I have for this PowerMac G4 is a Netgear WG111 usb dongle [04:58] needlez: sorry, I am reading pam.d configuration to find out what each part means, I am suspect to the onerr part [04:58] The installation of which requires ndiswrapper [04:58] needlez: if it was that line that changed everything perhaps something is missing or incorrect and I am trying to find out [04:58] Unfortunately ndiswrapper can't really be used on PPC, since there are no PPC Windows drivers. [04:58] elektroid: kk take your time [04:59] So my question is, does anyone know of any other drivers or methods one might go about using to get this working on a PPC machine? Or am I SOL === nick_ is now known as Guest26494 [05:01] if i want to upgrade a kernel version, i download the new kernel source, compile and install?

[05:04] overclucker, yes, but since I'm on PowerPC, it doesn't matter. [05:04] ndiswrapper works on ppc, but only if you have windows drivers for the device. [05:04] anyone know what gvfsd-http does ? [05:05] overclucker, sure ndiswrapper will work, but the drivers themselves can't work...they're written for x86 processors since no version of Windows runs on PPC [05:05] anyone know how i can remove tmp,cache,cookies completely? is there any helpful software? [05:07] jigynet: bleachbit [05:07] thx [05:08] the linux equivalent of ccleaner [05:08] overclucker, It's even on the ndiswrapper FAQ...the software runs on PPC but the drivers do not.

[05:34] sorry, OPs, but it's always like this @ this time, too many trolls [05:34] sheenams: dotfiles aren't shown in ls by default. use "ls -a" (All) instead [05:34] giiker: then ignore them. feeding them makes things worse. [05:34] rww: that gives . .. [05:34] what command can i give to give a more specific desciption? [05:34] ?

How can I fix that? [05:36] rww: I know, sometimes I just doubt my judgment on trolls, anyway... [05:36] rww: im following directions at github. it says to cd ~/.ssh then ls to find the kepair. [05:36] hi, i am having a problem where a ubuntu box refuses to change hostname, the names in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are fine yet hostname and hostname -f are wrong (and yet many reboots have been done) [05:36] sheenams: if you did ls inside ~/.ssh and you only see . and .., then you have no keypair. [05:36] [thor]: 700 would do fine? [05:37] or none in there, anyway [05:37] rww: Thanks! [05:38] subcool: can you not get it to load in cheese? [05:38] allbetter [05:38] I believe the v4l drivers are already on there, so it should just work [05:39] sheenams: u need to generate them first...

[06:13] Tohuw: should have thought of it that way, kept searching OpenGL 3.2 vs 4.1 soft of thing which is pretty dead [06:13] Jon--: wau, by the speed of your typing I might venture to say you had that in a file and copied it, but who knows right, haha! [06:14] giiker: Nope, just a software developer who also chatted on MSN too much as a child. [06:14] giiker: My keyboard and me are good friends ;) [06:14] hello , why my touchpad not workng [06:14] Tohuw: thanks for the correct direction XD [06:14] mean: take a look at http://www.techienote.com/2010/10/changing-default-boot-option-in-ubuntu-10-10.html [06:14] Gadu, have you googled your make/model with ubuntu 10.10 and tablet as keywords? [06:14] err.. nish [06:14] nishant, have you googled your make/model with ubuntu 10.10 and tablet as keywords? [06:15] Jon--: you are my keyboard master, then! no joking eh!! [06:15] it was working fine ...stopped suddenly [06:15] You're welcome, Gadu [06:15] nishant, does it work in another user account? have you tried a live cd to ensure the touchpad itself is functional? [06:15] no I can check in windows wait will be back [06:15] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10 -- I have a flash issue(not speed, and full-screen works fine) on different computers with different browsers. If I load a flash video(youtube for ex) and scroll down the flash video follows the page...also if I have other tabs open the flash overlays the other tabs. Any ideas or anyone else having this issue? Thanks. [06:16] Jon--: I know all of your argument, and heard it many times, but I have seen many like MS do this and it has always been just to shut us out! [06:16] Bing0: Tablet? [06:16] Gadu, it was a tab completion typo..plz ignore [06:17] Bing0: ah ok, i did find the necessary information to setup the graphics card properly with Ubuntu 10.10 [06:17] Jon--: we'd better stop, before ubottu sends us to the cafe channel [06:18] giiker: There's always PM. [06:18] How to take screenshot? [06:19] jsoft printscreen [06:20] jsoft: The print screen button, by default. Configurabe in Keyboard Shortcuts [06:20] jsoft: Press alt+ printscreen for current window, printscreen for entire display [06:20] can someone say a bad word i need to test something [06:20] Guest26494: no. [06:20] y is this always soo difficult [06:20] ok sorry then [06:20] Work [06:20] subcool_: With great power comes great responsibility.

[06:21] i made an xchat profanity filter [06:21] Jon--, this isnt DieHard 4 [06:21] couple the guys were helping me.. [06:21] Jon--: don't even go there, this afternoon, i learned how to use almost all screen keybindings, and I haven used irc commands in a long time, less dcc [06:21] subcool_: You either need to get out (stay in?) more, or that was just a terrible troll. [06:21] just trying to install my webcam [06:21] troll? [06:21] subcool_: your laptop is too new, you will have to try installing the drivers as I mentioned [06:22] or try the newest version of Ubuntu [06:22] giiker: /msg Jon-- yo [06:22] elektroid, working on it [06:22] subcool_: you have been trying to install your Webcam for the last 2 hours! come on, get some sleep! [06:23] giiker, no- my gf has been giving me shit for 2 days [06:23] subcool_: your webcam may very well not be supported by Linux [06:23] elektroid, like everything else i purchase [06:23] I have issues with brightness buttons on my laptop, someone want to help me out? [06:23] I cant find anything except a few instances which is why I mentioned those drivers [06:24] wow u guys still messing with thatWB CAM [06:24] otherwise, try getting another cam that is supported [06:24] Ubuntu recognizes the buttons that they should change the brightness but nothing happens! [06:24] Someone could have written him a driver by now. [06:24] Jon--: by all means [06:24] Well the brightness dialog comes up but it doesn't actually do anything! [06:25] elektroid: D: Maybe. I have limited driver writing experience however ;P [06:25] elektroid, i have two- but they suck [06:25] subcool_: well, you may be in better luck if you have an older cam [06:25] <_jesse_> having some issues with ssh and public key authentication; same private key works on one system, but not on another. Gives the follwing output: http://pastebin.com/4YWBzaD8 [06:25] im noticing [06:26] unfortunately, anything cutting edge is unsupported or extremely buggy in Linux [06:26] _jesse_: Unknown Paste ID! [06:26] unless you buy things specifically oriented for the unix world [06:26] subcool_: you should go to the same store where you bought your laptop and tell them it doesn't work in DOS and get a refund, then when you get a replacement come back here and then we can help you [06:26] im use to it- [06:26] Except things that actually matter, like solid state drives [06:26] Kinect was supported within 3 hours of its release... [06:26] Where the Linux kernel actually had better support than Win7 for a while. [06:26] my gf is just mad she bought me a new laptop- and i refuse to install windows on it [06:26] <_jesse_> Jon--: hrm it must have expired [06:26] <_jesse_> one moment [06:26] Jon--: as I said, if it isnt already something the unix world supports [06:27] giiker, lol- i wish. but this thing is 6 months old [06:27] anyone can tell me why snyaptics touchpad not coming up http://pastebin.com/mejjFSVK [06:27] nishant, its better than a buggy one. My touchpad f's up all my typeing [06:27] <_jesse_> having some issues with ssh and public key authentication; same private key works on one system, but not on another. Gives the follwing output: http://pastebin.com/dTkpEXtu [06:27] <_jesse_> Jon--: ^ [06:28] <_jesse_> seems like ssh-agent is borked [06:28] whats funny, I ve noticed a lot of people come to this channel and are like damn,my car doesnt run, whats wrong with it as if everyone knows [06:28] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10 -- I have a flash issue(not speed, and full-screen works fine) on different computers with different browsers. If I load a flash video(youtube for ex) and scroll down the flash video follows the page...also if I have other tabs open the flash overlays the other tabs.

I have a Nvidia FX5500 card which causes the booting from hard disk or live CD to fail ...... when i try the text mode this following message is comming up [06:28] No init found try parsing init=bootarg [06:29] _jesse_: And you did ssh-add on your client PC correct? [06:29] what app is there for ripping cd's? [06:29] to iso? [06:29] hi i have a ubuntu installed on a computer at home. But no internet connection. How can I update that computer, (can I get a list of packages from the update manager and go to an internet cafe and download them in some sort of automatic way)? [06:29] you can use dd [06:29] !deep scan [06:29] =/ [06:29] <_jesse_> Jon--: yeah, and I tried it with ssh -i too [06:29] any idea on how i can atleast boot to text mode [06:29] Jon--: weird it did not work [06:29] elektroid: to any audio format that I can toss onto my phone [06:30] ah ok CD to mp3 then? [06:30] ya [06:30] damn, my neighboors are fighting again! [06:30] i remember sound juicer from way way back.. i'm guessing there's a lot better now [06:30] Dannyd: use apt-rdepends [name of package] and download those [06:30] I have an issue with the brightness controls for my laptop. Someone willing to help? [06:31] I'm stuck in lucid and I need to install ant 1.8 which isn't in the tree - how can I do this? [06:31] _jesse_: Sorry I have to go to bed shortly please find someone else to assist you. [06:31] hint Dwood: just ask your question [06:32] jekin: can you try holding shift at boot and select recover boot or single user boot? [06:32] MTecknology: sound juicer is still the main but you can look at everything here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping [06:32] not sure if anyone in here would be able to help though tbh [06:32] * rww uses k3b for CD ripping <3 [06:32] I press the buttons on my laptop to control brightness, ubuntu recognizes them but the brightness does not change! [06:32] that site has a ton, kaudiocreator, k3b, and soundjuicer so I figured the site was better [06:33] elektroid: thanks [06:33] MTecknology: This is an old guide of mine that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535950 [06:33] sacarlson ....... i tried the recover mode but it also gives init not found error === nick_ is now known as Guest88734 [06:34] I am glad someone else likes k3b, I ve always liked it over Brasero [06:34] _jesse_: what are you trying to do again [06:34] elektroid: once i do that the update manager will detect that they were installed right? [06:34] jekin: I guess your boot media must have mest up. try boot a livecd and try mount the root partition to see if it's intact [06:34] ? [06:34] if i install the packages using dpkg -i [06:34] ya but k3b is kde [06:34] Dannyd: hopefully, I ve been in a similar situation [06:35] no internet and needing to grab packages from another pc [06:35] how do I make a bash script run from launcher? [06:35] * rww uses KDE <3 [06:35] ok will try [06:35] hiexpo: well, something wrong with using KDE apps? [06:35] thanks elektroid: [06:35] k3b works fine with the right libs in gnome [06:35] <_jesse_> giiker: use ssh with pka; I think I might be onto something though [06:35] to each is own [06:36] K3b good for DVD movie backups [06:36] ? [06:36] _jesse_: what's your error? [06:36] sacarlson .. the boot CD also fails actually ....... it kind of freezes midway ... also tried the safe graphics mode while booting from CD still fails ......... as long as i am using the GFX card none of linux distro (tried fedora Kubuntu ubuntu) fail to boot [06:36] ihack4fun: as in to make .iso? [06:37] <_jesse_> giiker: http://pastebin.com/dTkpEXtu === melik is now known as Conquistador [06:37] <_jesse_> giiker: it looks like I didn't actually ssh-add this most recent key pair gen though [06:37] _jesse_: wait, can you delete known_hosts?

[06:43] !repeat > Dwood [06:43] Dwood, please see my private message [06:44] MTecknology: well, I guess its your computer, so do as you like [06:44] elektroid: i'm jobless for another week; spare time to do stuff like that :P [06:44] what is "deep scan" [06:44] that seems to be Ubuntu's trend anyway, constant updating [06:44] night [06:45] I think Ubuntu was originally based off of Debian SID so that make sense [06:45] different Linux philosophy [06:45] MTecknology, roll your own kernal? [06:46] and his own cigarettes [06:46] hei [06:46] ihack4fun, dvdbackup works great [06:46] lol [06:46] elektroid: every version does imports from debian unstable; until a few months prior the auto sync is stopped [06:46] Dwood: you still there?? [06:46] jigynet: setup and compile and install by hand; very very fun once you know what you're doing [06:46] ihack4fun, but gotta use terminal [06:47] MTecknology: thats why I stopped using Ubuntu for a desktop, since 10.04 everything was overly buggy to me [06:47] Use Dvdbackup in term? [06:47] MTecknology, meaning there is code that is tweakable for certain desireable things? and then re-compiled? [06:47] yep [06:47] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10 -- I have a flash issue(not speed, and full-screen works fine) on different computers with different browsers. If I load a flash video(youtube for ex) and scroll down the flash video follows the page...also if I have other tabs open the flash overlays the other tabs. Any ideas or anyone else having this issue? Thanks. [06:48] MTecknology, what would you change for instance? [06:48] Syntax pretty easy? [06:48] and why [06:48] hell, I am using kernel 2.6.33 because of the realtime patch, I prefer that then the latest kernel just because === Conquistador is now known as melik [06:48] dvdbackup is a terminal app [06:49] jigynet: there are a lot of modules that the normal kernel loads and processor functions that are unneeded [06:49] and works perfect [06:49] a lot [06:49] but I think the majority of Ubuntu users dont notice [06:50] my touchpad problem was because of the laptop key combination that disables touch pad , it remains intact even after boot [06:50] lol processor functions? you would wnat as much cpu functions as possible..optimizations.. [06:50] !dvdbackup [06:50] couldn't these modules be uninstalled later without having to edit the code? [06:50] Got it on Sourceforge thx [06:50] jigynet: not optimizations, things like profiling and accounting which are extra overhead [06:51] jigynet: it all can be changed; the kernel you're using is about 4.3MB with about 132MB in modules -- mine is 2.2MB total; no modules [06:51] no overhead of added jun [06:51] 4.3gb? [06:51] that's an m, not a g [06:51] a 4.3 gb kernel LOL [06:51] i don't think that's even possible [06:51] imagine that thing loading up at start [06:51] lol [06:52] well when you say kernal i think of it as the entire os [06:52] need 8GB ram [06:52] not just one module [06:52] Is there a terminal app for IRC [06:52] 4.3 gig kernal wow [06:52] xD [06:52] ihack4fun: irssi [06:52] ihack4fun: irssi [06:52] snap [06:52] you arent going to have 4.3 gb in modules either [06:52] the kernel isn't just a module; it's what the whole os runs on [06:52] ihack4fun, yes [06:52] ihack4fun: irssi and weechat [06:53] hi [06:53] Cool one more torrents? [06:53] !hi [06:53] ubuntu is NOT recognising the monitor I just plugged in [06:53] kernal = similar to registry? contains code that allows the os to run etc? [06:53] i'm on a laptop [06:53] MTecknology: do you use a particular kernel version based on kernel.org or ubuntu stream release? [06:53] !hello [06:53] ihack4fun: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780 [06:53] ihack4fun, you have a name like that and don't know about irssi o.0 [06:53] how do I reduce the brightness of my LCD , the graphic properties option of Intel graphics is not there in Ubuntu only windows see it or installed in it [06:53] hi, what version of ubuntu is the best version [06:53] jigynet: the kernel is the vmlinuz and your /lib/modules [06:53] elektroid: latest from kernel.org [06:53] 10.10 is the latest [06:54] what version does mark shuttworth use on his personal [06:54] chrobi, he's probably learning how to hack [06:54] !ubuntu [06:54] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [06:54] I have 10.10 [06:54] nishant: it's the latest 'release' but 11.04 is available; i think it hit beta [06:54] help me [06:54] !lts [06:54] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [06:54] What is better in 11.04?

[06:55] don't feed the trolls [06:55] how do i install driver for intel based graphics card inbuilt [06:55] why won't ubuntu recognise my external monitor I plugged in?! [06:55] jigynet: look at /boot/vmlinuz, it wont be 4.3 gb [06:55] HyperHoRse: 11.04 is using a very important kernel-patch which should bring better desktop performance [06:55] Chris got me on that one [06:55] MTecknology, so what would i change to optimize a 64bit xubuntu for my atom netbook? [06:56] iceroot: I have only 512mb of ram [06:56] i mounted a network drive through nautilus..how do I figure out info about it through the terminal, using smb://harddrive/share/ won't work, and i don't know of a /dev name and uuid is what i want to figure out.. [06:56] iceroot: Will the latest ubuntu always run with my low amount of memory. [06:56] HyperHoRse: i think with 512mb ram, lubuntu is worth look [06:56] elektroid, i didnt say my kernal was 4.3gb i was thinking the numbers mt said were from the entire install [06:56] HyperHoRse: not very good [06:56] iceroot: I also have a 512mb graphics card [06:56] HyperHoRse: not if you are using ubuntu (with gnome) [06:56] iceroot: Yeah but my 512mb geforce takes care of opengl [06:57] icroot: I actually get ok peformance and can still play games. [06:57] HyperHoRse: doesnt matter, applications are not using the ram of your vga [06:57] hyper it will run [06:57] jigynet: depends; you first need to know what you're doing; then you deeply need to understand the inside of your system and how it all fits together; it's not as simple as just a change here and there and done [06:57] iceroot: is that actually true because I thought opengl takes care of all that [06:57] elektroid: so... m4a, flac, mp3 ?? [06:57] hyper only reason it runs in low gfx mode is because your drivers ar not installed properly [06:57] HyperHoRse: its as i said [06:58] Folks , I think Ubuntu should allow by default http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/how-to-enable-intel-graphics-driver-for-ubuntu-10-10.html [06:58] jigynet: my peformance is not bad I can play games pretty good [06:58] MTecknology: dont understand your question? which do I prefer? mp3 because of portability [06:58] hyper what is your question about opengl specifically? [06:58] !tab | jigynet [06:58] jigynet: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:58] iceroot: Will ubuntu always support 512mb of ram [06:58] a gefore 5500 for example support opengl 2.0 and previous versions [06:58] elektroid: if what your putting it on could understand anything; which would you use? [06:58] jigynet: What do you m ean [06:59] HyperHoRse: its not a question of support, its a question about performance [06:59] jigynet: I mean open gl shouldn't it use all the graphics ram [06:59] i am just running a lappy and using ubuntu gnome and it runs fine [06:59] HyperHoRse: probably not 20yr from now where people can't believe we used to use DIMM's [06:59] MTecknology: or if I want to give it to another person, I dont have to worry about it working or not [06:59] most new games and hardcore cad and DCC uses opengl 3.0+ [06:59] iceroot: more like a support question [06:59] ubuntu doest instal intel graphics driver default - why ? [06:59] hello i need to no how to delete from comand line [07:00] run it till it breaks [07:00] MTecknology: 20years? Nah it would be sooner than that. Solid State drives are already here so its all gonna change horribly soon [07:00] elektroid: it was looking like m4a gives you some of the best compression without being too lossy - my phone will play anything [07:00] nishant: maybe they are not free so they cant be on the cd === eddyarif is now known as VADEH [07:00] HyperHoRse, no opengl wont use all the ram..textures and code fill ram.. [07:00] jigynet: that sucks. [07:00] Pete_, google rm command [07:00] Right [07:00] How come ubuntu dont write their own drivers. Is it not possible [07:00] HyperHoRse, nop thats good actually [07:00] jigynet: why [07:00] MTecknology: unless you are doing serious recording as a musician or working with audio tracks from video, m4a isnt going to be that much of an advantage [07:00] and ytour on your own Pete_ [07:01] HyperHoRse: i have an ssd and when i boot up and run basic stuff for a day I don't end up using >1GB of the 4GB I have available until I start compiling stuff; firefox being most of that [07:01] HyperHoRse, cause you dont want to fill; up ram at all [07:01] hiexpo: if you dont want to help instead of just posting google please stop support here [07:01] jigynet: oh === jhford_ is now known as jhford [07:01] 10.10 is pretty good. [07:01] most directx 7-9 games uuse like 200-1gig at most [07:01] Firefox appears to have a memory hole too, will eat up the majority of memory out of a common users processes [07:02] I have a problem with 10.10 though. [07:02] I real bad problem. [07:02] iceroot, so you want me to tell tell people how to use the rm command . ok I am a linux guy [07:02] The real bad problem is I cant run unity. [07:02] LOL hiexpo [07:02] hiexpo: i want that you give people good support if not we dont need you here [07:02] I think it is the problem to do with the fact unity doesn't use my graphics card drivers. [07:02] elektroid: abcde is pretty neat :) [07:02] I have a fairly new graphics card. [07:02] i have 2 kernel but always start with 2.6.32-24,how to change to 2.6.32-27? [07:02] unity? [07:02] hiexpo: its fine if you are a linux guy a know a lot but that doesnt make a good support here [07:03] um the desktop thing [07:03] you mean the unity3d players for battlestar gallactica? [07:03] the new one that came out [07:03] mean: what do you mean at start up? [07:03] hmm [07:03] mean: if you are using grub its a simple selection at boot [07:03] provided you have mention of the other kernel in grub [07:03] iceroot, i always give good support and always have i help in aircrack-ng backtrack-linux and pentoo [07:04] you know [07:04] when you login and stuff [07:04] and its like choose this one [07:04] and here in ubuntu [07:04] and you go into that one [07:04] and it has very simple control down the side [07:04] on the left [07:04] HyperHoRse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:04] and its like always freezing the computer [07:04] also why doesn't it use the nvidia graphics card drivers [07:04] now we know why you are called HyperHoRse [07:04] what version of unity would i get for the amd64 install? [07:04] yeah [07:05] im from www.atomicmpc.com.au [07:05] you were created by a website? [07:05] <[thor]> HyperHoRse: help with unity can probably be had in #ubuntu+1 [07:05] hyper it is using the gfx card, what makes you think its not? [07:05] cos when i go into appearance [07:05] it says it cant do extra. [07:05] extra?? [07:06] what is that? [07:06] how can I make a bash file linkable through a launcher? [07:06] elektroid, i installed startupmanage but the grub menu didnt show up. [07:06] for some reason its not opening up the file [07:06] go into appearance [07:06] then select extra [07:06] for extra desktop effects [07:06] you need to download them? [07:06] no [07:06] i mean [07:06] yes. [07:06] HyperHoRse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:06] xD [07:06] mean: update /boot/grub/grub.conf and then do grub install [07:06] why doesn't unity work with them [07:06] i already have them [07:07] oh k [07:07] im using them now [07:07] HyperHoRse: Please stop abusing your enter key. [07:07] he's not flooding.... [07:07] yes he is [07:07] he's talking to like 4 people lol [07:07] mean: if when you compiled the new kernel and did make bzImage, it should have updated the grub.conf and should only need to do 'grub install' [07:07] what is ubuntu+1 [07:07] jigynet: Then they should probably start listening to the floodbots and not using their Enter key as punctuation. [07:07] its horSePower! [07:07] HyperHoRse: the next version of ubuntu [07:08] Pete_, google rm -rf iceroot says ok to giveyou goodhelp on how to delete a folder so there ya go [07:08] so why am i supposed to tell them about my problem [07:08] I can tell HyperHoRse uses text msging a lot [07:08] !google > hiexpo [07:08] hiexpo, please see my private message [07:08] we need hp:s for ubuntu [07:08] my problem with unity not working with my graphics card drivers [07:08] xD its not abuse of the enter key its adding additional details he left out of the previous lines [07:08] so far it is going with diesel [07:08] jigynet: well, the idea is to type lines out longer [07:08] hiexpo: are you a troll? [07:08] so what shoulld be said is..please try to put everything you want to say in as little space as possible and on one line [07:08] jigynet: if you have an issue, it doesn't belong here [07:09] hiexpo: i said we dont need google here [07:09] jigynet: If you have an issue with the way the floodbots and channel operators are coded, please visit #ubuntu-ops. [07:09] whoa [07:09] it's just a suggestion... [07:09] i'm not picking a fight [07:09] so why doesn't unity work with my graphics card drivers. [07:09] jigynet: As was that. Now, back to Ubuntu technical support. [07:09] k xD [07:10] i'm trying to recreate a raid1. both disks have 3 partitions. 2 of them where joined fine on md0 and md1, but when trying to add sdb3 to md2 i get mdadm: /dev/sdb3 not large enough to join array [07:10] the disks are the same size. mdadm is v2.6.7.1 [07:10] hello , does ubuntu use the latest Linux Kernel [07:10] I thought unity was what ubuntu is changing to. But I dont understand because extra desktop effects no longer works in 10.10 due to it not using the graphics card drivers not provided by ubuntu [07:10] or canocal [07:10] or whatever, [07:10] nishant: No, the current stable version of Ubuntu uses 2.6.35. [07:10] hyper what? [07:11] so your using nvidia drivers instead of what was provided by ubuntu [07:11] what's that website, where you can submit and VOTE on commands? like with switches and combined to do useful and neat things? [07:11] jigynet: in unity. I can't use unity because of the graphics card drivers. Extra Desktop Effects does not work. [07:11] so in general is there a lag wrt to latest kernel , is compiling the kernel on own own advised? [07:11] nishant: you can generally go to www.distrowatch.com and see which version of the kernel and main software a distro uses and no maverick 10.10 uses 2.6.35 [07:11] nishant: No, we advise that you use the version that comes with Ubuntu, as that's the one we support ;) [07:11] hmm i have a nvidia 5500 with 512 let me see if i can replicate the issue [07:12] Right [07:12] jigynet: What is up with Unity? also when I try to use unity for a limited amount of time it freeze the computer and i have to ctrl alt f7 ctrl alt del [07:12] iceroot, thats fine if we don't need google here > but you know when i need to find out something i use google to find out what itmeans > so if that is the case why does google post anything about ubuntu > don't hack an google it is our engine [07:12] one second pls xD [07:12] so does that mean that unity will be for basic computers that dont have graphics hardware? [07:12] nishant: you dont get the bug fixes or security fixes if you compile your own kernel, neither can you log bugs. They will be closed since we don't support mainline. [07:13] right thats fine [07:13] hiexpo: You are welcome to use Google to find things out. You are also welcome to post those things in #ubuntu if answer someone's question. Please don't, however, tell people to Google things. [07:13] so basically [07:13] im not sure. [07:13] whats going on here. [07:13] s/answer/they answer/ [07:13] and i do work for google [07:13] nishant: if you miss one kernel module everything else could work fine but firefox might break; leading you to think it's a firefox issue, when it's not [07:13] crap.. nvm forgot i had to format that pc [07:14] =c [07:14] I see , I understand [07:15] nishant: it's also a huge undertaking; best done by really smart people that have minds of steel and glasses of whiskey [07:15] thanks so I guess I have better things to do :) [07:16] How do I make a startup thumb drive using puppy linux but putting ubuntu 10.10 on the thumb drive? And will it work? [07:16] jokersmile: investigate the use of grub2 [07:16] jokersmile: i 'think' you can just download the ubuntu iso and use dd to copy over the iso to the drive [07:17] MTecknology: nope :( [07:17] oh.. :( [07:17] i think that i have tryied reading about how grub works and it's confussing [07:17] i already downloaded the iso file and copied it to the thumb drive [07:18] jokersmile: then you need to get over that quick, because it's going to be the only way [07:19] millions of people must use ubuntu. [07:19] ok then any one know of any user friendly tutorials for that. I prefer pictures. I'm a visual person. [07:19] jokersmile: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html [07:20] jokersmile: i had to sacrifice my child to get that link [07:20] jokersmile: about what? [07:20] zodiac207: I was talking about grub [07:20] grub2 you mean [07:21] Just got a quick add-apt-repository question: Would add-apt-repository on 10.10 add deb-src lines to the sources.list, even when given a repository starting with "deb "? [07:21] jokersmile: grub2? [07:21] if that's the latest and updated and recommeded one from the community, then yeah [07:22] elektroid: looks like mp3 defaults add an extra 20-25% over the m4a defauls; i'll assume it's just compression :) [07:22] mwiegand: add-apt-repository does not add lines to /etc/source.list [07:22] jokersmile: grub2 is the one that will let you do multiboot from usb [07:22] jokersmile: it lets you boot straight from iso files on a partition [07:22] hi [07:23] airtonix: It sure does on 10.04. [07:23] mwiegand: no. it adds files to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [07:23] airtonix: It even says so on its man page. [07:23] will it work on 10.10 [07:23] hihos [07:24] if i does apt-get source on a package how can i know how the deb package is compiled? [07:24] sup [07:24] airtonix: But aside from that, it should not add deb-src lines if not requested, right? [07:24] mwiegand: every single add-apt-repository action i've executed for the last year has only created a relevant file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [07:24] so i have ubuntu server with shortage of disk space. command line access only. tried checking whats using the space with df -k. says 96% use on /dev/sda1 which is mounted on / [07:25] how can i see in detail where are top consumers [07:25] cmd line top [07:25] how to load the new kernel? [07:26] mwiegand: yes, it will create a file of the name related to the ppa you requested in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and fill that file with the relevant deb & deb-src lines [07:26] dpetrek: du -h --max-depth=1 / works for finding bloat. [07:26] Doonz: du -hs /* [07:26] dpetrek: * [07:26] let me try [07:27] * hiexpo reads up and only sees one thing about recommending Google and it was about the rm command > so is gonna make recommendations to Google about posting Ubuntu topics any longer in Google [07:27] airtonix: So it will add deb-src entries, even when the repository starts only with "deb http..."? [07:27] i have kernel 2.6.32-27 but it always start with 2.6.32-24,how to load the new kernel? [07:28] this does not make sense guys, although i can see disk usage by folders now, the sum of usage by fodlers is not what df -k reports for / [07:28] mean: i think you need update your grub menu, and then reboot with latest kernel [07:29] i tried it,but it didnt work [07:29] dpetrek: pastebin both [07:29] not show on your grub menu ? [07:29] even no grub menu show up... [07:30] crap... i can't make the power cord stick in [07:31] MTecknology: http://pastebin.com/M19TahFj [07:32] if i does apt-get source on a package how can i know how the deb package is compiled? [07:33] ok i installed unity where is it? [07:33] run it from a command line.. theres no icon. [07:33] since its a window manager type thing. [07:33] ah [07:33] dpetrek: where's the last line? [07:33] it should be listed as a session in your display manager (where you log in) [07:33] dpetrek: problem is you are using different units of measurement for each command.(-k, -h) [07:34] Hey guys, anyone want to help me with a charitable volunteer project? :) --> http://www.reddit.com/g5q7z/ | If you're interested, would you mind responding on the reddit thread, if possible? it literally takes 5 seconds to sign up for an account and requires 0 personal information. [07:34] Thanks! :) [07:34] overclucker: still it dos not sum well [07:34] jraws: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:34] MTecknology: everything is pasted [07:34] blackshirt, yes,there is no grub menu when booting [07:34] dpetrek: look again [07:34] overclucker: /dev/sda1 should have about 10 gigs [07:34] so unity will replace my current gui? or does it run overtop of it and use up more cpu/ram === deepakk is now known as dkannan [07:34] overclucker: i can't find those 10 gigs [07:35] airtonix: Ping? [07:35] dpetrek: also.... look at /var/ [07:35] hello, short of pushing reset... what to do in the event of ubuntu locking up? [07:35] reisub [07:35] http://kember.net/articles/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart/ [07:35] hola Dr_Willis === eddie is now known as Guest49360 [07:36] Device: ^ [07:36] Device: ctrl+alt+F2 login and kill things, or if that doesn't work, reisub. [07:36] howdy hiexpo [07:37] arand, i cant get any keyboard access at all, i tried that already. i even lost the mouse now too. [07:37] how you doing this evening Dr_Willis [07:37] getting ready to take a long drive on vacation. wife wanted to leave early.. so i came hopme early.. they are all sleeping still.. [07:37] so how come unity doesn't work with a graphics card in 10.10 [07:38] Aint faily fun. :) [07:38] oi i thought ubuntu was supposed to support that [07:38] arand, i almost want to cry lol. the ever faithful ubuntu has crashed on me for the first time ever... [07:38] it would depend on the driver support for that card pooz [07:38] yeah it works fine in desktop [07:38] but as far as support goes' why did they release unity to 10.10 when it has such bad issues with graphics card [07:39] ?? [07:39] Dr_Willis, so being patient < [07:39] :0 [07:39] cause its meant to use opengl as an accelerater [07:39] :) [07:39] so [07:39] pooz: as for that question, you need to really wait for 11.04 next month. You'll like it. No graphic issues now. [07:39] pooz gotta start somewhere right? [07:39] perhaps because they knew it was getting a total work over for 11.04 [07:39] cdbs will 11.04 have a more improved unity interface? [07:40] unity is cool but some of the interface sucked [07:40] pooz: thats its MAIN feature. [07:40] MAIN? [07:40] pooz: a completely rewritten one, using compiz/QT instead of mutter, much faster, and quite many changes [07:40] Ive rarely seen mentioned any other improvements/changes in 11.04 [07:40] cdbs: good work ubuntu [07:40] good work mark shuttle worth [07:40] pooz: yes, no more gnome-panel in 11.04. Unity for both desktop and netbool [07:40] *netbook === Guest71597 is now known as DarkDevil [07:41] will 11.04 have more games? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest65444 [07:41] pooz: http://ubuntuone.com/p/hx4/ is a screenshot of the applications place, and http://ubuntuone.com/p/hx5/ is dash [07:41] Dr_Willis, where you guys going . hopefully a nice place [07:42] somebody help me! [07:42] pooz: okay, since this is a support channel, further discussion on 11.04 should be on #ubuntu+1 or (if not a support question) on #ubuntu-offtopic [07:42] ubuntu is not recognising my external monitor [07:42] knew: Which version of Ubuntu? [07:43] * cdbs knows of some multi-monitor issues on 10.04 [07:43] cdbs: 10.04 [07:43] aha! [07:43] knew: depends on yoru video chipset and drivers also. [07:43] 8600m GT up to date nvidia drivers [07:43] knew: desktop/laptop? [07:43] laptop [07:43] cdbs: i think MOST issues happen to be video... [07:43] also, it recognises up until ubuntu starts [07:43] knew: What happens when you open up Monitors in the system/preferences menu? [07:44] upto-date as in from the nvidia web site? or latest in the repos? [07:44] knew: you did run the nvidia-setttings tool? [07:44] cdbs: It tells me it doesn't work with my driver, and it'll open my nvidia control center thing [07:44] cdbs: the nvidia control center thing does not see any other monitor [07:44] * cdbs doesn't know much about the nVidia world :( [07:44] Dr_Willis: yes, it does not see any other monitpr [07:44] knew: you might need to hit the special laptop keys to toggle the monitor. OR ive seen some cases where teh monitor must be plugged in when the system boots. [07:45] http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi [07:45] Does anyone know how to fix that? [07:45] Dr_Willis: yes, i do that, and it switches to my external monitor [07:45] hi can you help me i have an error when try play youtube video in totem media player_GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error [07:45] Dr_Willis: but then when ubuntu login screens comes up it goes back to my monitor screen [07:45] (I'm on Debian so I can't use ubuntu emerald package) [07:45] I tried asking in #compiz and #debian but those channels are deal [07:45] dead [07:45] Dr_Willis: any ideas? [07:46] Raptors: emerald is basically a dead project. [07:46] knew: not really. My nvidia laptops all work good. [07:46] Raptors: try #debian on irc.oftc.net [07:46] Dr_Willis, what replaced it? [07:46] Raptors: nothing.. it died.. [07:46] Dr_Willis: whatever, fuck ubuntu [07:46] I want to use the emerald themes though :( [07:46] knew: whatever.. have a nice day. [07:46] http://pastebin.com/LsBSN6Ud my first attempt at running unity in 1010 is this bug or error knonw? [07:47] Raptors: emerald is so problematic. and proberly will never get fixed.. so use it if you want i guess.. good luck with getting any sypport on it. [07:47] Why was it killed? [07:47] is emerald even worked on anymore? [07:47] developers all moved on... [07:47] i thought that was tossed out years ago [07:47] * Raptors sobs [07:47] thats how GPL stuff often dies. :) [07:48] The emerald theme servers all shut down about 2 yr ago? 1 yr ago? i forget... [07:48] There is nothing better available though [07:48] i dont find emerald that impressive.. sorry.. [07:48] Raptors: compiz [07:48] lol@knew he'll be back xD [07:48] compiz [07:48] Emerald is the theme manager for Compiz [07:48] emerald is a window decorator that runs along side compiz... [07:49] jigynet: unfortunately; probably true [07:49] dpetrek: it does look like there are files hidden somewhere. you could try looking under your mount points. [07:49] compiz has 3 differnt window decorators it can use. a GTK one, a KDE one . and emerald. [07:49] ^ yep [07:49] Dr_Willis, can you at least look at the paste [07:49] it looks like a GTK prob [07:49] Im suprised more window deforators have not came out. [07:49] http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi [07:49] overclucker: how to do that? [07:49] but with the changes in 11.04 - in 3 yrs.. compiz may be dead. :) or at least very sick. [07:50] http://pastebin.com/LsBSN6Ud does this look familiar to anyone, should i submit it? [07:50] i like openbox; everything i need and all the extra transparency and shadow stuff i want [07:50] dpetrek: unmount em [07:50] MTecknology: i read where TWM even has compositing options now. [07:50] Dr_Willis, what did they add in 11.04 [07:50] ? [07:50] that makes compiz sick [07:50] well why can't compiz use directx or gpu acceleration/optimizations? [07:50] Raptors: the new interface Unity revisted.. [07:51] ugh, unity [07:51] overclucker: how [07:51] jigynet: directx on linux? Compiz does use acell here. [07:51] fifteen minutes of distrsction and the ever faithful ubuntu has given meancontrol again. [07:51] lol xD well something like directx to give apps or gui the benefits of use of the gpu with cpu [07:52] that would be 'opengl' i think jigynet. [07:52] opengl is scary land [07:52] yea opengl [07:52] my bad [07:52] xD [07:52] LOL DirectX [07:52] jigynet: compiz does use gpu acceleration, where available [07:53] Can someone please at least look at my paste :( [07:53] http://pastebin.com/VQpZkGVi [07:53] so what would be diffrent? why use unity? [07:53] I think it's more secure [07:53] If you want fancy effects with out the hardware requirements.. check out the latest Enlightment, or if you want to go to 'way out there land' theres metisse. :) [07:53] and adds some more features [07:54] Dr_Willis, are they as good as compiz? [07:54] 11.04 is just moveing ubuntu to a new directon [07:54] Raptors: they can do effects.. they are not the big hogs that compiz is... they have some features lacking in compiz. [07:54] jigynet: unity is supposed to be a unified UI, compiz is just a window manager [07:54] I like it how it is right now [07:55] dpetrek: type mount. it should show you what is mounted, and where. you can run umount on the mount point, or the mounted device. [07:55] Enlightment - is slowly growing into a 'desktop' :) metisse is a window manager that can do fancy effects without needing 3d acell. [07:55] I don't want this unity crap. :| [07:55] Raptors: the code is teh broken, unless you know C and GDK/GTK, you're stuck [07:55] is unity more widely supported and adaptable then compiz? tsimpson..so compiz has dependancies and unity is self contained and streamedlined because of this? [07:55] ugh [07:55] Unity is the next generation. :) i guess youi can say. [07:56] I guess I'll use the ubuntu package on debian and hope that it was brick my system [07:56] I recall when compiz was in version like .0001 :) and was a total disaster. Unity is proberly at .01 level. [07:56] jigynet: compiz doesn't do anything other than make your windows wobble etc, unity is something completely different [07:56] tsimpson, it does more then just make your windows wobble [07:56] it can also make the cube! [07:56] :) [07:56] Raptors: ^ 'etc' [07:56] xD [07:57] Cubewiz - [07:57] Compiz > * [07:57] I can think of like 4 Compiz features that actually add functionality to my systems/work flow. [07:57] I'm probably going to stick with x11/compize for a while [07:58] hmmdr? [07:58] Maybe mess around with unity in a VM or something [07:59] overclucker: http://pastebin.com/G5A8CbyK [07:59] yy [07:59] overclucker: maybe it could be that fsck should be run on the filesystem [07:59] why would having terminal open, cause all windows to assume terminal window's size is fullscreen and not allow larger or drag them outside of it?? [07:59] hey how do I enable the Nvidia drivers if they don't show up in hardware drivers list? === sm is now known as Guest49262 [08:00] endafy, is it onboard or integrated? [08:00] hello [08:00] how to install Chinese spelling tool? [08:00] jigynet, its a card, but nvm I am just going to install it with the .run file I just wanted a gui way of doing it [08:01] um no? [08:01] dpetrek: are any of the mounts in /storage currently in use? [08:01] use synaptic or find the drivers using the provided software [08:01] hi, is there a channel for vb.net progammers? [08:01] overclucker: yes there are [08:01] the "provided software" is a disk with Windows only drivers on it [08:01] what is it? [08:02] !.net [08:02] overclucker: vmware1 points to one hard disk, vmware2 points to another one [08:02] awww [08:02] endafy, the provided ubuntu software add/remove in the applictions menu... [08:02] Sparkle 8400GS with 1G DDR3 [08:02] What do you guys think of gnome shell? [08:02] !compiz \ hiexpo [08:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:02] wonderful [08:02] I think it looks stupid [08:02] !asp [08:02] #!asp? [08:02] reminds me of my mobile phone [08:03] endafy, that should have been detected and installed and probably is?? [08:03] !compiz | hiexpo [08:03] hiexpo, please see my private message [08:03] Dr_Willis, IDK what you find so great about Unity3d. It looks pretty weak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoUTBsL7M1s [08:03] Raptors: ive not even tried it. so have no oponion on it.. it is going to be what gets pushed.. so thats the bottom line. [08:03] endafy, using the add/remove software in the apps pull down menu will list installed drivers with a gren check mark [08:04] jigynet, its all good the add/remove doesnt have any drivers and I really dislike synaptic [08:04] dpetrek: probably not a good idea to just unmount them. you might want to reboot into a recovery console if you can. then check for files in the unmounted mount points. [08:04] Dr_Willis, maybe by ubuntu. I don't think everyone will be pushing it [08:04] sudo su then .sh NV*.run should do the trick [08:04] ive used everything from GeOS on my C64 to twm, to you name whatever windowmanager/desktop out.. [08:04] hello [08:04] endafy, so you went to nvida and download their drivers and expect them to work with ubuntu? [08:04] I don't like the look of the side launcher.] [08:04] no but we'll see in a moment [08:04] Raptors: dosent really matter.. Im in #ubuntu support. :) and i imagine other disrtos will follow. or go gnome-3 wich is also going similer routes. [08:04] Looks pretty horrible to me :/ [08:05] if it is proprietary they are going to be the same driver [08:05] I'll probably have to switch back to windows or something before I use Gnome3 or Unity [08:05] I feel most docks are Horriable.. but that dosent stop people from using them [08:05] They both look really horrible [08:05] Raptors: thats the beuaty of gpl/linux. do what you want. I perfer function over looks. [08:05] Raptors, I am on Gnome 3 on my other Desktop and it is amazing [08:05] endafy, it DOES list your driver look for nvidia [08:06] Hopefully there will be an option to disable gnome shell [08:06] brb says I have to reboot [08:06] endy no proprietary drivers are completely diffrent from ubuntu supported and compiled drivers [08:06] Dr_Willis, it doesn't look that functional. My Gnome 2.3.2 looks far more function then that [08:06] ill use gnome3 if i get to decide what apps shows up where [08:06] Raptors: the operative word is 'looks' you havent tried it.. [08:07] Dr_Willis, the whole design looks whack like the lack of minimize [08:07] kde4 has Much more 'functions' then anything out.. so much.. its majorly confuseing. [08:07] and no panels [08:07] Raptors: differnt workflow/paradigm. no need for them. [08:07] and having to go into a giant menu to find an application [08:07] groovy it worked [08:08] kde need to optimization and stability [08:08] the .run file works?? [08:08] I will wait for 11.04 to come out - then decide.. [08:08] jigynet, lol yes [08:08] same driver [08:08] you have nvidia control panel and can adjust resolution etc? [08:08] and sackbox try KDE 4.6 then talk [08:08] I can't stand KDE's design either. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd probably have to switch to Windows/XFCE [08:09] overclucker: i think i don't understand what you want me to do.

[08:11] morning chaps [08:11] endafy, pls test it [08:11] dpetrek: what i'm thinking, is that there may be files underneath one or more of your mount points. it would explain missing missing disk space. [08:11] I just dont see if you dont like KDE, how you could say you want to use Windows 7 with a straight face [08:11] Raptors, yu said you couldgo back to windoz ?

(#ubuntu+1 is better channel for that) [08:20] I'm just noticing the same stuff taking more cpu. [08:20] On Maverick aswell. I'm quite sure, I tested several times. [08:21] ParadoxEternal: Natty has GCC 4.5, a major improvement, so maybe because of that [08:21] What about maverick? [08:21] Coz it's maverick and natty that's slower apparently, than karmic and lucid. [08:21] So whatever it is, they share it! [08:21] :) [08:22] cool?

[09:32] how do I reset gnome-terminal preferences [09:32] red2kic - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 ,I keep getting a file not found error even though i have this correct and the file is in /boot [09:32] red2kic : do you mean in ascending order? [09:33] ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal [09:33] silvery: It's in the grub link I gave you earlier. [09:33] silvery: "The order of the entries in the grub menu is based on the order of the file names. File named with a starting numeral are run before those beginning with a letter. The order the files are run determines the menu order in grub.cfg. [09:33] Custom entries can be added to the "40_custom" file or in a newly created file. " [09:33] Whoops. [09:33] red2kic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:34] Tito0096: Paste the grub.cfg + "ls -al /boot" === IZI-Johan is now known as johannesch [09:35] red2kic : ok, sorry for my stupidness, but I found out that grub.cfg contains only comments for 20_linux_xen (and the file is not empty for sure) [09:35] red2kic - http://paste.ubuntu.com/581513/ [09:36] 20_linux_xen got 149 lines of code none of wich is in grub.cfg [09:36] Grub config - http://paste.ubuntu.com/581514/ [09:36] Tito0096: Why is there /boot/boot? [09:36] hi ! what is the smallest Ubuntu dist that can runs? Because Mini Ubuntu need to download all the packages ; I would like to know if a base-Ubuntu dist exists with only minimal packages(shell...) ? [09:36] i am on linux mint [09:37] grub/grub has a splash screen i think [09:37] Tito0096: This is Ubuntu channel. FYI. [09:37] !minimal | Frazer [09:37] Frazer: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:37] !mintsupport | Tito0096 [09:37] Tito0096: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:37] yep gnewb but it downloads from web [09:37] Yes I know that === johannesch is now known as izi_johan [09:37] but since they are similar [09:37] Tito0096, so mint is not supported here === izi_johan is now known as johan^izi [09:38] Frazer: Oh, offline install? [09:38] yes [09:38] ive had many problems solved by not mentioning i had linux mint -_- [09:38] Tito0096: Mac OSX are based on FreeBSD -- Does not make it the same thing. :P [09:38] lol [09:38] Only the kernel and the shell and I would be ok ! [09:38] Tito0096, bad luck then. install Ubuntu and come back [09:38] And I would like to know if such an iso exists [09:38] So you are just going to stop. . .and not even try to help? [09:38] since this is a grub problem [09:39] Frazer, you'd not need an iso for that [09:39] Frazer: Yes they do. [09:39] Tito0096: I really would like to suggest you to try #grub channel. [09:39] Tito0096, correct. go to mintsupport [09:39] mint support is deserted [09:39] no one is online [09:39] thus my presence here [09:39] Tito0096, all the more reason to never use it [09:39] gnewb: ? [09:39] bazhang: u mean LFS i suppose? [09:40] bazhang, its pretty nice, this is the only quirk i have run into so far. . [09:40] Frazer: Looking it up now.... [09:40] Frazer, no, but why not just remaster the mini or similar to what you want? [09:41] Frazer: Use Mini.iso -- Don't go naive and install ubuntu-desktop. Install what you explicity want. [09:41] Frazer, additionally you could choose one the base install packages and go that way [09:41] hello [09:41] grub is empty. . . [09:41] Frazer:> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal [09:41] well [09:41] most are afk [09:41] My actual idea is to remaster actual ubuntu-desktop, remove what I want and repack the iso === silvery is now known as stupid [09:42] !remaster | Frazer [09:42] Frazer: 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 [09:42] Frazer, thats more work than a base install, but sure its doable === stupid is now known as silvery [09:42] red2kic please can you help? === Guest45301 is now known as DarkDevil [09:42] I got 2 files with same numbers in grub.d: 20_memtest86+ and 20_linux_xen. Figured out that grub.cfg contains code only from 20_memtest86+ and nothing from 20_linux_xen, could this be because they have same numbers? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest46812 [09:43] mint and ubuntu are really similar. and not in the sense of what they are based off of, like your argument with OSX being based off of FreeBSD [09:43] Frazer:> That link I posted is what is called a Barebones install. [09:43] flash plays super fast in browsers for em (chrome, firefox and opera), tried to reinstall flash, totem, the browsers but can't find a solution [09:43] hm Ok I take a look [09:43] anyone have an idea? [09:43] Tito0096: Okay. What is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [09:43] em==ex [09:44] Grub config - http://paste.ubuntu.com/581514/ [09:44] Tito0096: Because we don't really know what Linux Mint did. [09:44] well i modified the grub.cfg to add the file [09:44] and the option in grub2 [09:44] as where the instructions on the plop website [09:44] You normally DONT edit grub.cfg by hand. You edit the /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* files. [09:45] Ah [09:45] that makes much much more sense. . [09:45] See the grub2 docs/wiki/forums for details [09:45] !grub2 [09:45] 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 [09:45] time to restore the old grub backup [09:45] grub.cfg [09:45] Heh. Tito0096 ignored the message header in the file. [09:45] Dr_Willis: Is that like conky.rc? [09:45] if you rerun update-grub - the grub.cfg gets regeernated. [09:45] ahhh [09:45] okay [09:45] I keep getting Mar 17 10:44:56 ubuntu kernel: [ 7491.479367] multiqueue0:src[7128]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f5be737de4c sp 00007f5bde2885e0 error 6 in liborc-0.4.so.0.0.0[7f5be7367000+56000] whenever I try to play a .m4a podcast in rhythmbox [09:45] gnewb: what does conky have to do wth grub? :) [09:45] I saw the header and i was like opps lol [09:46] is there any coded/library I need to install to enable .m4a playback? [09:46] red2kic Dr_Willis - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 -this is what I am trying to do [09:46] Dr_Willis: I just asked because I did not know, on some systems dmenu,conky and such can edit that stuff. [09:47] amin: Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys [09:47] which is the best antivirus for Ubuntu? [09:47] THANKS WORKED :) [09:47] !antivirus | vpark [09:47] vpark: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [09:48] ;) [09:48] !best | vpark [09:48] vpark: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [09:48] Tito0096: set root='(hd0,1)' [09:48] yeah i am looking over the wiki now [09:49] and i saw that entry before [09:49] Tito0096: I was pointing out the quotes. [09:49] yep i did that [09:49] oh wait [09:49] i remember i took it off because i was trying to see if that made a difference lol [09:49] ubottu:there may be document virus! aren't they? [09:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:49] is there any coded/library I need to install to enable .m4a playback? [09:50] Bollocks. If I accidently hit enter when installing Ubuntu Server on the screen that lets me select services to install, is there any way I can get back to that screen? [09:50] davzie: sudo tasksel, I think. [09:50] ethanol: Is that a restricted package or format? [09:50] red2kic, champion, thanks :) [09:51] gnewb: it's a podcast. rhythmbox keeps crashing when I try to play it. [09:51] there may be document viruses! aren't they? Shouldn't I be careful about them? [09:51] ethanol: You need to enable Multiverse and install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse. [09:51] ethanol: Ok, have you apt-get update and upgrade? [09:51] gnewb: basically what I did is, added this podcast url to rhythmbox: http://picklemonkey.net/flipper/convert.php?feed=http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/drum-bassarena-podcast/id110623324 [09:52] gnewb: yes, every day. [09:52] johan^izi: I have it [09:52] hey, does anybody know how to rearrange the icons between and within the indicator applet and notification area? [09:52] red2kic - so i change the 40_custom file by adding that entry? [09:52] johan^izi: actually I think I have 0.10 [09:52] vpark: If you're behind a router (firewall), you should be fine. However, I believe the viruses are mostly targetting for the servers. [09:53] hi ilea [09:53] vpark: I don't thing there is linux virus in wild [09:54] Tito0096: What is Plop? Do you need it? Paste the latest grub.cfg + "ls -al /boot" [09:54] red2kic - edit it like this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/581520/ [09:54] vpark: you can read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [09:55] zvacet it is wrong dude there are virus so fatal that you can't even imagine [09:55] red2kic - plop is a boot manager that lets you boot from usb on legacy devices [09:55] it can run along side everything which is good [09:55] maxillusionist: can you point me to that [09:55] red2kic - atm i have a pc that cant boot from usb [09:55] so i need this lol [09:55] ethanol: hmm, do you have faad? [09:55] johan^izi: http://pastebin.com/Pb7i47Ck [09:56] johan^izi: faad?

What was the response? [09:57] ethanol: and libfaad2 [09:57] it always said "file not found" [09:57] johan^izi: have both the shared and mp4 one [09:57] even though it was there and selectable [09:58] johan^izi: don't have the command line tool though. would rhythmbox need it? [09:58] Tito0096: Dunno. If everything worked, I don't know what to look for. [09:58] Tito0096: (If everything are in places) [09:58] ethanol: no, i don't think so [09:58] I cant figure out what I have set wrong, the windows machines on my home network can see me and the folders I shared but when they try to access them they get the message "Not accessible Might not have permission" [09:58] this is just retarded why would some1 think that it would be good to shut down all media players till your on a tab with video???

[10:15] loltoad: bootchart might help understanding the boot-part [10:15] Is this chat for support questions, or Ubuntu chat in general? [10:16] Boothk: thats afaik a user2user help channel [10:16] jpds: nope, banshee also crashes on these .m4a podcast files :< [10:16] awesome. I'm somewhat new to bourne scripting and it hates me :V [10:16] Boothk: so support -> see topic [10:16] elFidel, ive ran bootchart before, but i wasn't sure what to do with the information, it was such a big file [10:16] Boothk: support [10:16] hi all; What's the best way of connecting to the internet on ubuntu 10.04 through my nokia N95? [10:16] loltoad: i was talking about the image bootchart can generate [10:17] and in case that part is not helpful - you should most likely not mess around with the idea of optimizing your boot-time [10:17] elFidel, yea, even on that it was a massive image, i couldn't even visually pick out anythin gof value... though to be fair i don't quite know what to look for [10:19] why when i try to make a video fullscreen it ussually doesnt work? [10:19] Kills: tried different players & video formats? [10:20] Im talking about videos from websites [10:20] somehow your question right now isnt THAT DETAILED [10:20] ah great [10:20] What's the best way of connecting to the internet on ubuntu 10.04 through a mobile phone? [10:21] i.e. nokia N95 [10:21] got this odd problem going on with iwconfig. I can set up wireless settings for a machine via .sh script, and configure the proxy so it'll go through. But no matter how hard i try, the machine refuses to pick up an IP address from DHCP server unless I use network-manager [10:21] it works with the n900 [10:21] It very easy you play a youtube video froma website dif then youtube or someother flash video and whenyou try to go fullscreen the video keeps playing but you dont see nothing [10:21] you need to have the usb networking module in your kernel or as module I think ubuntu kernels already have it [10:21] then you need some iptables rules on the phone [10:22] it works fine [10:22] is there a tutorial some here [10:23] newbie101: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html [10:24] I get the feeling that ubuntu has a lot more bugs now at 10.10 than it had with 9.10 [10:25] Does anyone know why terminal might fail to pick up DHCP? [10:26] Kills: video & flash is working great here - 10.10 too [10:26] well flash , audio quality and some other stuff aint exactly working great here [10:27] Kills: checked if you got latest flash?

[10:30] I take it back, they crash on everything now. even .mp3 :< [10:30] ethanol: Sure, one sec [10:30] maybe I should remove some gstream packages [10:30] and i doesnt allow me to execute nothing and does not allow to change that in options [10:31] how to change my permissions so i could execute files with wine?

I already head a 9.10 but is I want to shoot for more recent because I figure that it is better. [10:38] 9.10 is the most recent stable release as far as i know [10:38] java_: you are not in the directory where the jar is located? [10:38] that didn't happen before [10:38] almoxarife: I am [10:38] java_: odd [10:38] almoxarife: I will paste the output [10:38] java_: ok [10:38] ok i'll go for that. [10:38] Can someone help me out with this? - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#rungrub2 - I need help going about with that section of the wiki [10:38] I have a small problem regarding Ubuntu 10.04 - Some of our users are not able to log in successfully. When they type in username and password in the login prompt of gdm it turns black as if to load the desktop and then returns to the login prompt. Weird thing is, this only happens to some users not all of them.

For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:06] thats BS [12:06] lathan_devers: any way with IEs4inux? or any other ways than wine [12:06] I suggest to the developers to fix this [12:06] endafy: thats copyright laws [12:07] no its BS that the developers of Ubuntu don't provide a way to play them [12:07] meero: would you please join #milossh [12:07] just for a second [12:07] go out of the way and make it legal [12:07] mtest, sorry nothing that I'm aware of [12:07] endafy: so don't use it [12:07] meero: I want to paste something for you, but can't open pastebin [12:07] fuck off this is bullshit there has to be a way [12:07] lmao [12:07] endafy: Mind your language. Follow the instructions on the wiki there if you want it to work. [12:08] some ppl [12:10] endafy: making it legal requires a (paid) agreement with the DVD consortium in order to get a decryption key. If you fund the realisation of the agreement, I'm sure developpers will fix the soft. [12:11] jjp_: Hes not here anymore. [12:11] can anyone tell me how i can get the battery indicator to show percentages? [12:11] Is anyone here familiar with bleachbit? [12:11] Pici: ouch, sorry [12:11] jjp_: they already left, they could have found out by reading and its not difficult to add they just don't really care [12:12] hi eveyone [12:12] yeah. This DVD issue is frustrating [12:12] =c i want to know if there is anything i shouldn't tell bleachbit to do [12:14] I bet reading manuals are frustrating for that dude too. [12:14] for the best really if they became so frustrated w/ a trivial task then well they would certainly have a hard time doing nearly everything else === lance_ is now known as Guest1917 [12:15] grndlvl: agreed. So far, I found adding dvd decryption relatively easy [12:16] it sucks but necessary due to legal crap :( unless everyone wants to pay per copy of ubuntu for something that we can add easily [12:16] to heck with that [12:16] you'd get pirated ubuntu xD [12:16] Lol. [12:17] hey! [12:17] hey guys.. on ubuntu 10.10, running on an acer extensa 5220, i have installed the broadcom wireless driver from repos, the switch on/off button works, the lspci sees the device, the question is, how to connect to my wireless network? [12:17] but i'd be happy to donate cash randomly for a fantasic product xD [12:17] Honestly, it may still prove easier the way it is currently on Ubuntu than actually installing a proprietary DVD soft on Windows [12:17] I'm using the huawei 3g modem to write this message! the modem is working. however, it only works if I plug it in and leave it for 20 min. === twitch_ is now known as twitch [12:18] remus you click on the up and down arrows in the top right and select your network [12:19] is there a known problem with this device? [12:19] what??? [12:19] kre10 sounds normal.. are you multitasking when you plug it in? [12:20] what kinda pc are you plugging it into? [12:20] kre10: do u have kernel messagers related to this device ? [12:20] messages [12:20] hello, how do i get the timestamp of a file when it was last saved [12:20] ^error messages^ [12:21] im on an hp 625. when i try to connect it fails. but if i leave the usb modem plugged in it will connect after 20min [12:21] im grabbing the logs now [12:21] remus_: if its installed correctly which it sounds like it does if it lights up, then you *should* be able to https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/connect.html [12:21] * Boothk reads some backlog about commercial DVDs [12:21] Am I right in thinking VLC works for Ubuntu? [12:22] Boothk: certainly [12:22] Boothk: my player of choice [12:22] lol, Endafy raged for no reason then [12:22] VLC is win [12:22] resolveeeeeed :))) [12:22] VLC is actually a VERY POWERFUL piece of software!! [12:23] yeah, pretty much [12:23] hi , i've reinstalled the OS on my server adding my second hdd back, how do I find out what filesystem I have on there so it gets mounted properly please? [12:23] what's that Windows Media Player? You don't have the codec? That's k, VLC is here [12:24] I am trying to run a cron job in ubuntu 9.10. what shall I do and how can I know that cron job will run ?

Uhm.... [12:24] jraws: what's your support question? [12:24] sunit: make the time shorter for testing and see if it does what you wanted it to do? [12:25] kre10 those specs look good, shouldn't be that it's just busy.. but everytime you remove it..it may have to re-install it's drivers and that would take a bit [12:25] what??

Do you just want to add a program to your PATH by creating a symlink so you can call it without giving the full path?

Then you have to read about all the options that involve umask [12:39] MarconM: do you want to open the txt file with a command?

[12:41] Whats the easiest way to install fonts? [12:41] overclucker: so to get 077 permissions id set umask to 700? [12:42] MarconM: the command is "gedit /home/myfolder/file/job/marcon/test/marcon.txt" [12:42] do I just make a ~/.fonts folder and copy them there? [12:42] jigynet: yes.

[12:43] 077 seems like a strange set of permissions [12:43] elb0w, to use that font you will need to regenerate font cache with sudo fc-cache -fv [12:43] rizzuh, save disk space, you can install it [12:43] bazhang, meh... 20MB? [12:43] elb0w, otherwise font cache will be regenerated on reboot [12:43] Kre10s, was just wondering if for somereason it was configured diffrently..you could try a diffrent manufacturer and see if that makes a diffrence.. do you also have slow speeds? [12:44] bazhang, capacities are measured in gigabytes now, so saving 20MB sounds stupid, if it is that much.

[12:44] bazhang, ... I still wonder why Ubuntu doesn't ship on DVDs already. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest76051 [12:45] jrib: How can I determine this device number and this partition number? [12:45] rizzuh: because not all servers have DCD [12:45] DVD [12:45] sunit: https://secure.jabsupport.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=135 <-- this looks to be accurate and states what each time value is. I think it would be something like */12 * * * * "PATH/SCRIPT" [12:45] rizzuh: There is a DVD available if you want. [12:45] hispano [12:45] ikonia, for servers you doin't need to ship the whole GUI in the disc. [12:45] bullgard4: is there a reason you aren't using UUID? [12:45] !es | riveryk [12:45] riveryk: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:45] rizzuh: running a gui on a server is fine [12:45] riveryk, #ubuntu-es [12:45] jigynet: I bought it at the isp. its from TIM but my isp is VIVO. [12:46] ikonia, and besides, with servers you can usually use a BMC to mount the image from a network share, or spend $20 and get a USB reader, since servers run for several hundred to several thousand. [12:46] rizzuh, the alternative to a dvd install is the minimal install cd which will list available packages / DE 's during install but is only a 12 meg download [12:46] rizzuh: you don't dictate what people useually do [12:46] rizzuh: it's 20 meg, if it's not a big deal, download it [12:46] ikonia, sure, but crippling the distro because of old technologies is not that great. [12:46] bah thats wrong actually */5 * * * * maybe... I usually have to play around with it a few times actually lol i rarely set one up [12:46] rizzuh: it's not crippling a distro [12:46] overclucker: any idea if there's a way to set the default group for a created file? [12:47] grndlvl: Thats correct [12:47] rizzuh, so you expect everyone to go .0020 gigabytes instead of saying 20MB? [12:47] ikonia, almost. [12:47] MarconM: the syntax to create a symlink is: ln -s TARGET NAME. So for example if you want to create a symlink to /home/jrib/some/really/long/path/coolfile in /home/jrib, you could do: ln -s /home/jrib/some/really/long/path/coolfile /home/jrib/coolfile [12:47] wakawaka_: not sure if vsftpd can do that or not [12:47] rizzuh: not in the smallest part is it crippling a dsitro [12:47] jigynet, I expect people to stop using wimpy CDs. [12:47] jrib Yes, after dist-upgrade and restart Grub 1.98-1ubuntu9 asks me to enter this syntax following "set_". [12:47] lol [12:47] jigynet: speed is ok... [12:47] rizzuh, lets move on please [12:47] overclucker: ok, thanks again for the umask help! [12:47] alright [12:48] rizzuh, not until usb 3.0 is cheap and is actually faster then any other media [12:48] bullgard4: what do you mean by dist-upgrade? Did you upgrade release versions? Where/when is grub asking you? [12:48] jigynet, lets move on past this please [12:48] until then it's dvds/cds and portable hd's [12:49] dang baz do you always have to mess with our conversations? [12:49] interjection is quite rude.. [12:49] jigynet: This channel has guidelines that people should follow if they want to continue to use the channels. You can read them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [12:50] Kre10s, so this only happens when you remove the device or each time you reboot? [12:51] The problem I have is that I cannot connect the device manually. [12:51] I have to plug it in and count sheep for 20 minutes [12:51] It will eventually connect on its own. [12:51] i'm pretty sure i haven't violated a rule that would entitle someone to persistently interject, even in off-topic... [12:52] everytime you remove it and re-insert it.. it installs drivers and such [12:52] jigynet: he's just trying to guide you back to ontopic support discussion [12:52] why do you need to keep removeing it? [12:53] ikonia, it was a single line of text... and all i intended.. i would take it to ot if he wanted to continue [12:54] ]jok, so he asked you to move past it, and you did, great, lets move on [12:54] but thank you xD [12:54] jigynet: If you disagree with an action of an operator you can take it up in pm or in #ubuntu-ops, otherwise we should keep #ubuntu clear for those who want support :) [12:55] Kre10s: Does dmesg indicate that anything is happening during those 20 minutes? [12:57] jrib: »dist-upgrade« was my short-hand for the command '~$ sudo update-manager -d'. Yes, I did upgrade a release version. The very last step of the '~$ sudo update-manager -d' procedure requested me to reboot. The very first prompt after rebooting is for Grub and requires that I enter my start data medium using the syntax: 'set root=(hdX,Y)'.

[13:08] I got it onto a USB drive, and booted from it, but whenever i select an option on the ubuntu screen that comes up it beeps and does nothing [13:08] at first i was trying to instal 32bit on my 64bit comp, then i tried again with 64 bit version and same thing [13:09] Any ideas on why it won't work? [13:10] if i scp something to a remote dir, like scp -r /etc/* blah.... is it common for the remote version and the local one to differ by a few bytes? [13:10] Roland_: what did you use to put it on the USB drive? have you tried unetbootin? [13:10] i used Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.6 [13:10] fixx: no. Can you verify with md5sum that the files are idneed the same? [13:10] fixx: Use rsync.

[13:11] Pici: how do i md5sum a whole directory? just md5sum mydir [13:11] I tried the 32 and 64 bit versions [13:11] both downloaded from the ubuntu website [13:11] !alternative [13:11] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[13:12] lemme test it quick [13:12] uh. is there a command to reset values such as contrast? [13:12] a game crashing screwed that up [13:12] it seems this is what i have been using [13:13] i thought i meant alternative as in i could use utorrent to download it [13:13] Roland_: hmm. have you tried the normal livecd instead of the alternative? [13:13] and to make it bootable on my flash drive i had to change the name or the program wouldnt recognize it [13:13] no i haven't. haha. [13:13] Roland_: try that then [13:13] fixx: rsync -avz (should be fine). '-e ssh' is already configured to be default [13:13] I should probably do that huh. [13:14] tzaeru, r u sure it's software settings and not your monitor settings? [13:14] I've got to go, see U all [13:14] lathan_devers, guessing it's sofware. at reboot it anyway uses the right values. [13:14] alright, ill have it downloaded and mounted in the next hour or so, ill be back. [13:16] I have this problem where when I boot my computer, instead of going directly to the graphical login screen I get a terminal and have to wait for about 3-4 minutes before I get the graphical login. Can anybody please help me fix this? [13:17] frxstrem: does the graphical window start on it's own after 3 / 4 minutes? [13:17] frxstrem, mm is there a "read out" during this 3 to 4 minute wait? [13:18] ikonia: yes, it does [13:18] that;s an odd issue [13:18] coz_: what do you mean by "read out"? [13:18] frxstrem, is anything printed out or do you see errors reported during that time? [13:19] I am trying to make this .sh file executable I do "chmod +x file.sh" and when I try to execute it, it says cannot execute. It is a compiler for java files, any help? [13:19] coz_: no [13:19] KramB, the easy way is to right click the file ...go to properties / permissions and make it executeable [13:19] KramB, try sh file.sh [13:19] hi. i'm trying to delete a partition from my drive but i'm getting weird error messages..http://paste.ubuntu.com/581577/ [13:20] frxstrem, mm this is definitely odd... is this a fresh install of ubuntu? [13:20] coz_: no, I've been using it for about half a year now, I think [13:20] frxstrem, when did this start ocurring? [13:21] coz_: I think it was two days ago [13:21] KramB, and what is the exact error message? [13:21] frxstrem, were there system updates at that time? [13:22] coz_: there might have been, I don't quite remember [13:22] Hi! How can I find all files in a folder that has the regex "*[0-9].ser" ? I have tried to do this but to no avail: find . *[0-9].ser | egrep *[0-9].ser [13:23] coz: It still did not work. Priest: That did not work either, the message was "not foundipts. sh: 2: not foundipts .sh: 8: compile scripts.sh 23: syntax error: and of file unexpected (expecting "fi") [13:23] frxstrem, ok ,, one of the first things I suggest for any issue is to first open a terminal and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade see if anything needs updated,, or a new package needs installed [13:23] end of file* [13:23] KramB, what is this file for? [13:23] is that guy with the HUAWEI Mobile still around? [13:23] KramB: you need to code the file correctly then [13:23] m___: ls **/*[0-9].ser in the right directory [13:23] coz: to compile java scripts. [13:24] ruan: I guess I will look over it. :s [13:24] m___: and that's a glob, not a regex [13:24] KramB: it's returning errors because the code is incorrect [13:24] syntax errors [13:25] How do I install the latest 2.6.38 kernel in Kubuntu 10.10? I need to check if a specific bug has been fixed. [13:25] jrib: that does not work [13:25] tdn, you download it, compile it and boot it [13:25] coz_: there were some updates (for tzdata and wine), thought I highly doubt updating them would solve anything... [13:25] I don't see what is wrong. >:l [13:25] :) [13:25] m___: in what sense does it not work? Do you get an error or does it do something other than what you wanted? [13:25] frxstrem, right [13:26] tdn: are you want install it from repos or compile by self [13:26] cannot access **/*[0-9].ser: No such file or directory [13:26] frxstrem, mm and this occurs every time you newly boot into your system ...yes? [13:26] m___: what ubuntu version is this? [13:26] High_Priest, really? Is there no easier way? I would guess that this is a fairly common task. So I thought there would be some .debs available. Either via PPAs or similar. [13:26] coz_: yes [13:26] 10.10 [13:26] frxstrem, does this also occur when you restart X? [13:26] blackshirt, preferably via repos. [13:26] m___: what shell are you using? [13:26] Hey, i just ran a dist-upgrade on a lucid box, after my reboot i get consistent packet loss on localdomain every 10-11 minutes lasting for about 30-60 sec. [13:26] well bash [13:27] isbric_, dist-upgrade? [13:27] coz_: I don't know, I haven't tried [13:27] isbric_, that sounds *really* strange. What does dmesg say? [13:27] Does anyone here know java, and could look at this for me? [13:27] isbric_, paste your dmesg output here: http://paste.adora.dk [13:27] frxstrem, ok try it doing it the correct way ctrl+alt+F1 log in sudo restart gdm [13:27] tdn: check it when there that version on repo [13:27] tdn: or chek from ppa archives [13:28] blackshirt, I have tried adding the kernel PPAs, but there are still no 2.6.38 kernel availabe from it. Which PPA should I add? [13:28] m___: if you want to use find: find -name '*[0-9].ser' [13:28] bazhang: apt-get dist-upgrade [13:28] blackshirt, I have not been able to find any useful info on this. [13:28] blackshirt, maybe I could try installing the natty kernel in maverick? Would that work? If so, how to do it? [13:28] isbric_, that wont change versions if that is what you are attempting [13:29] frxstrem, you got back here pretty quickly === doodoo is now known as Dart [13:29] cheers, jrib!! [13:29] coz_: yes, that's because I didn't have to wait when I restarted X [13:30] frxstrem, mmm so something is up with the initial boot sequence,,, this may be beyond my knowledge.... [13:30] ok, is there anything I can temporarily do to fix the brightness on my EEE until the fix comes out next month? (on kubuntu) its at "100%" and its still really dim. I have the issue where my brightness scale is all over the place as I increase/decrease it (its not in order and its all pretty dim) [13:30] frxstrem, which video card is on that system? lspci | grep -i vta [13:31] nono [13:31] frxstrem, lspci | grep -i vga [13:31] big fingers :) [13:31] coz_: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] [13:31] tdn: you can install natty kernel on maverick, update your sources.list with natty repo, run update and then install kernel from natty repos [13:31] frxstrem, ok [13:31] Alonea: have you tried the application "monitor settings"? [13:31] frxstrem, hold on [13:32] my dmesg: http://paste.adora.dk/P1991.html [13:32] ruan: so far the brightness settings that came with kubuntu is what is broken. is this a separate application? [13:32] hi. i'm trying to delete a partition from my drive but it's telling me the partition is outside the disk. fdisk -l /dev/sda returns weird numbers [13:32] bazhang: no [13:32] hi guys i recently put another linux distro on my netbook i thought it would set up a dual boot with ubuntu when grub loads it shows both distros but when i select ubuntu i get error 15 file not found , i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu i know that would fix it but is there another fix? [13:33] frxstrem, out of curiosity would you try initctl status gdm [13:33] Alonea: yes, though it is a gnome app [13:33] airwork: sudo fidsk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit [13:33] blackshirt, is that safe? [13:33] blackshirt, will I always be able to go back later? [13:33] <[TK]D-Fender> tdn: No. [13:33] airwork: Which partition are you trying to delete? [13:34] [TK]D-Fender, thought so. What will you recommend? [13:34] <[TK]D-Fender> ! 11.04 | tdn [13:34] tdn: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [13:34] coz_: "gdm start/running, process 3784" [13:34] any ideas? [13:34] frxstrem, mmm ok hold on let me do a bit of research on this issue [13:34] usr13: : trying.. but i'm on the live cd and installing pastebinit is taking forever, let me paste manually [13:34] <[TK]D-Fender> tdn: Recommend yuo wait until it is released and you have a reasonable chance of not ending up with a crippled system [13:34] [TK]D-Fender, I do not want to upgrade to natty just yet. I just want to try out the kernel under maverick. [13:34] i want to delete partition #2 on my one and only drive [13:35] ruan: what is even worse is if I manually set the brightness to 100% in the terminal, its still wrong. echo -n 100 /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness [13:35] #niteroi [13:35] airwork: How are you trying to delete it? (What partitioning utility are you using?) [13:36] Hey guys....

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

[13:38] i asked for "good" not "best" [13:38] airwork: sda2 is an extended partition (which also contains logical partition sda5). [13:39] if i divide partition with gparted. can i be sure that no data will be damaged? :) [13:39] coz_: music is one of the things i need to download [13:39] usr13: sda5 must be an old swap. i'm willing to delete everything except for sda1 [13:39] ruan, mm did you try google ubuntu download managers [13:40] yes. [13:40] usr13: and the disk only has 100GB, so how can sda5 possibly end in 1167674? [13:40] coz_: jdownloader and fatrat gave me issues [13:40] add to previus note: it seems like i get packet loss the same way on other domains just after localdomain get up. [13:40] ruan, I see,,, let me check hold on [13:40] airwork: So maybe if you delete sda5 first you can then delete sda2 [13:40] jdownloader corrupted 5 of my downloads, and fatrat can't maintain connections correctly. wget isnt gui [13:41] kirkous: in case you really want to be save - create a clone before you do so [13:41] airwork: It is possible that there is unpartitioned space on the drive.

(fdisk shows it) [13:42] want face recognition software [13:42] i need an advanced gui. lots of features [13:43] want face recognition software [13:43] ruan, d4x should give most of that ...yes?

[14:26] rizzuh: proposed is not meant to be used by regular desktop users [14:26] Not yet [14:26] also with modem? [14:27] restarting may fix it [14:27] The latest updates were non gui related though. I have for the big stuff, which I did after installing. [14:27] True, but that would be last resort. [14:27] jrib, agreed, I'm no regular user though. That, and I've seen this problem since December. [14:28] Though I haven't used Ubuntu since then, till today. [14:28] how to resolve my problem???? [14:28] rizzuh: your using repositories used for testing and that are more likely to contain broken software [14:28] come on [14:28] usually it detect as a memory because there were a memory slot [14:28] you're even [14:29] rizzuh: anyway first step is reproduce issue on a system without -proposed [14:29] you know my modem? [14:29] there were memory slot, where it is? [14:29] jrib, easier said than done. [14:30] rizzuh: why? reboot and see if problem still exists [14:30] thats a pretty easy first step isnt it? [14:30] elFidel, I meant reproducing it on a system without proposed. [14:30] I have created a cron job with command : */1 * * * * /home/starlite/Downloads/data-integration$ sh spoon.sh [14:30] k [14:30] come oon [14:31] but it's not running. please help me [14:31] singh: it's not related to your issue but */1 is the same as * [14:31] jrib: what shall I do ? [14:31] Rebooting is a bit tricky when I can't use the UI at all... [14:31] singh: take some time and re-read some example cron-entries [14:31] singh: now, as for your actual issue, the command you have written makes no sense. It seems like you just copied what your terminal shows including the prompt [14:32] rizzuh: hmm. alt f2 and start gnome-terminal [14:32] rizzuh: does that work? [14:32] ruan, keyboard shortcuts don't either [14:32] rizzuh: hummmm [14:32] good ol' power button for 5 secs [14:32] but that's... not that great [14:32] yea [14:33] hmm [14:33] does ctrl alt f1/f2 work for going into console and restarting? [14:33] Is there any way to... like revert updates from proposed? [14:33] jrib: thanks for suggestion. But how shall a make a cron job to run ?

[14:53] who should I ask for my issue [14:53] !anyone | bugra [14:53] bugra: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:53] bugra, First, ask your question. Second, wait for a response. Everyone here helps free, so be patient. [14:54] nishant: if your computer is working fine, then no [14:54] who uses an utp to usb printserver , that is know to work with ubuntu?

[14:54] cba123: Well, not everyone helps, some just hide and watch ;/ [14:54] Are there any native disk image solutions for ubuntu that are comparable to Acronis True Image? Specifically, I need to be able to make incremental image-based backups on a schedule. Ideally compressed. [14:56] Any helpers? [14:56] blz: so you want to periodically make images of your whole hard drive? [14:56] usr13, Might've said it with some ambiguity, it was meant as "Everyone here who helps, helps for free" [14:56] usr13: exactly, but incrementally [14:56] my sound card is not working on toshiba satellite pro a200, device is alc268 [14:56] cba123: Sorry, was an attempt at humor. [14:56] what is Inode Number ? [14:57] usr13: i.e.: I want image n+1 to include only the changes since image n [14:57] if that makes sense [14:57] tdn: did you se my dmesg? [14:57] usr13, As was mine... [14:57] Hi, im back with another problem, when i click run from usb device (on the boot menu frommy usb device) it says missing live files or something after an ubuntu loading screen. [14:57] ciao [14:57] blz: That's gonna take a lot of space. Where do you intend to store these images? [14:57] Roland_, patience is a virtue. Ask once, and wait longer before re-asking. I'd say 15minutes or so. [14:58] oh, alright. [14:58] usr13: that's why compression would be ideal, along with the incremental versioning. I have a solution for the storage [14:58] sorry. [14:58] usr13: that solution being a big eSATA drive [14:59] blz I don't think the drive type matters much [14:59] usr13: well the speed sure as hell will ;-) [14:59] maedox: I am getting error which can be seen in http://dpaste.de/NamM/ === jrn_ is now known as jrn_a === herton_away is now known as herton [15:00] blz: Well, I've done a partition at a time like this: dd if=/dev/hda | ssh $user@host 'gzip - > /home/user/image.gz' [15:00] wat shuld i be looking for if i get consistent packet losses every 10 min lasting 30-60 sec intervals? [15:00] blz: Or: dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz' [15:01] blz: You could just as easily do the whole drive, but, well, just never saw the need in it. [15:01] usr13: i considered that, but there's two problems. 1) no incremental backup (afaik), and 2) it stores *everything* including unused space... Which is kind of a waste of time/space [15:02] usr13: mondo looked promising, but it seems as though they expect you to save it in n number of .iso's and burn them for recovery. [15:03] guys, how can i change the keyboard layout on the console? [15:03] blz: Well, I guess that is as far as I got with backing up stuff. I just back up my /home partition and am not all that concerned about applications and the rest. [15:03] is there anyone can help me? [15:03] !ask|bugra [15:03] bugra: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:03] blz: why backup as image? filewise is much easier [15:04] singh: what's in your scripts? It's trying to connect to a display but nothing is set. You might have to add export DISPLAY=:0 to the script. [15:04] !poll [15:04] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:04] llutz_: I've already done that, but reinstalling a system from scratch is a huge pain. plus it's two different backup strategies. filewize backups won't store all settings === Squillis is now known as serea1 [15:05] !gg [15:05] blz: depending on your config, it stores all settings. === serea1 is now known as Squillis === shane4ubuntu is now known as shanester [15:06] llutz_: yes, i realize that, but it's a huge paint to back up every single config file. Images allow you to recover from catastrophic failures very quickly [15:06] I ve sound problem on my laptop [15:06] hi guys, I'm having an issue with my logitech g35 usb headset in ubuntu. It plays sound once, for a while, and then stops, and starts spitting out usb_set_interface failed messages in log files [15:06] two different strategies, each with its merits [15:06] blz: backing up /etc/, /home, parts of /var + a list of actually installed packages and the reinstallation is easily done [15:06] maedox; Thanks === ogra is now known as Guest53848 [15:06] blz: ever looked at rsnapshot or rdiff-backup? [15:06] llutz_: right, but then you have no partition information and repartitioning a new disk or wiped disk is a pain === Guest53848 is now known as ogra_ [15:07] llutz_: i haven't. is that file-based backup or image-based? [15:07] blz: we have different definitions of pain :) sfdisk might help to backup partition-info [15:07] can you talk in private with me for sound problem, who can do? [15:07] blz: file based (rsync) i never did images because they seem pointless and space-wasting for me [15:08] llutz_: I appreciate the suggestions, but i've already implemented a file backup system [15:08] blz: One other thing I've done is to install two identical HDs in a PC and periocically ghost one to the other, (master to slave). I've done that on servers [15:08] llutz_, blz , what about aptoncd ? [15:08] with unison, which is close enough to rsync =) [15:08] software for organizing your things + journal ? [15:08] usr13: that might be worhtwhile. I imagine, using dd? [15:08] BluesKaj: no idea, i never used it (actually i don't really know what it does exactly) [15:08] bugra, the problem with PM's is that you have the advantage of "backups" rather caught errors [15:09] BluesKaj: not sure what it is [15:09] !aptoncd [15:09] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [15:09] bugra, rather you dont have the advantage [15:09] blz: Yes [15:09] bugra, pm's dont allow other to add to solutions [15:09] BluesKaj: definitely interesting. does it store configurations or only the .deb package? [15:09] blz: Set it up as a cron job [15:09] software for organizing your daily stuff + journal ? or some sort of it, thx! [15:09] BluesKaj: might make sense for people with very slow internet, not usefull for backups imho [15:10] blz, nor sure [15:10] not [15:10] blz BluesKaj sounds like just keeping the packages [15:10] hiya [15:10] alright. i'll have to take all of this into consideration. too bad for mondo... it's *almost* perfect [15:10] coz_: I ve sound card problem [15:11] bugra: we can't help you if you don't give us specific information [15:11] buonasera [15:11] bugra, is it recognized? open a terminal type alsamixer and see if the card is listed at the top [15:11] yeah llutz_ somehow an app that saves the configs as well as the apps is too much to ask :( [15:11] alc268 code sound device exists [15:12] bugra, ok while in alsamixer check to see if any volume sliders are down or muted [15:12] BluesKaj: saving packages makes no sense in most cases, the rest easily can be done using rsync (or some scripts around it) [15:13] need some help. Got a server with 10.04lts on it, and it has been quite difficult to be able to ssh into it.... I'm able to ssh into it form the local network, but when I do port forwarding, from the outside has been difficult to get into it, have another server, same configs, and works fine.. [15:13] master, headphon, PCM, front are high [15:13] only difference is that the problematic server, has two eth active... can this be the cause? [15:13] I installed openssh [15:13] bugra, mm ok you might want to check in both the #alsa channel and the #pulseaudio channel [15:13] llutz_, it's surprising what ppl want to save , whether it makes sense or not :) [15:14] BluesKaj: problem are devs thinking its a good idea to save some stuff inside /usr/.... [15:14] ok thanks [15:14] Mens.. you know how to do for increase or decrease sound on Backtrack 4 R1? I only find the option to disconnect the card sound,,, It's a Live USB, not yet installed on HDD [15:14] Afternoon all. Got a bit of an odd rsync issue. I have a box I try to keep synced with a remote unit via a while loop in a screen'd shell. Hackish, but it gets the job done. If I try to rsync a second directory via the shell, works beautifully. If I try the same rsync command in the while loop, it bombs out partway through the run. I'm stumped on this one. [15:15] I still need help. [15:15] BluesKaj: as i said, it might be usefull if you have very limited internet access. for _me_ it wouldn't make sense to store packages i could re-download within 10 minutes (32mbit-internet) [15:15] root__: ask in #backtrack [15:15] okey, sorry, I'm new in this xD [15:16] what is the command to fix mime types?

[15:20] sp4rc: i have done that in the past and had it working [15:20] llutz_, agreed , I've never bothered with that either , but there's no reasoning or understanding why some ppl attach importance , for whatever reasons and insist on something that seems trivial to us. [15:20] anyone else currently unable to view youtube from Movie Player/Totem? I know it worked before an I can play .flv files, but otem now just tosses up a non helpful gstreamer error [15:20] Diverdude, I would report a bug to google, since there is no "how do I get the back button to work?" It should just work like normal, click it. If it doesn't, it's a bug you should report to google. [15:20] ruan: where are the C header files located?

The inconvienient part of having such large arrays (I have one at work) is howto back them up. [15:42] I'm unclear about a few details of btrfs. If I understand correctly, snapshots are natively supported and can be backed up on external media? Can they be restored onto new media from a live cd in the even of a hardware disk failure? [15:42] blz: if the hardware is broken, no [15:42] <[_snow_]> hi all. I have a problem. Do not run the applet Custom menu bar. Anyone encountered this problem? Are you could help me& [15:43] <[_snow_]> ? [15:43] iceroot: i'm not sure I understand your point. My hypothetical scenario is the following: i have a laptop with a btrfs filesystem. Snapshots are saved on an external disk. One day my laptop drive fails and I replace it with a new one. Can the filesystem be restored to the new disk? [15:43] is there anyone around familiar with mounting samba shares in windows? They keep getting disconnected. [15:43] sidartha: does it say why? [15:44] sidartha: do you have any error messages?

[15:44] no message. I windows 7 it just drops. When I open up my Computer ther is a red x next to the share. [15:45] cat /etc/group us the way to list all the groups and its users ? [15:45] iceroot: ok, and this should be possible with any recent ubuntu live cd, right? [15:45] dr0id: try it and see [15:45] i did, huge list. but i dunno [15:45] I think it may be a problem with concurrent users. Does Samba have a limit. [15:45] postdrop:x:125: <-- what is 125 ? [15:45] dr0id: getent group [15:46] dr0id: gid [15:46] dr0id: it seems to be. adm:x:4:ruan [15:46] kinda same output [15:46] after 127 it is 1001 and 1002 , wierd [15:46] weird === Guest4583 is now known as DarkDevil [15:46] dr0id: those are the "gid" [15:46] auto generated by ubuntu ?

[15:47] dr0id: if you don't secify them, yes [15:47] ok, thanks a lot [15:47] :) [15:47] raido: it's more like local fs versioning ?

I guess there's no real reason to migrate away from ext4. Not with other imaging solutions available [15:51] Ubuntu doesn't have a One China Policy, it seems. [15:51] I am looking into the possibility to build a personal dropbox server. Anyone can give me a heads up?

[16:12] how can i write a bash script that repeats itself over and over again ever 30 seconds? using sleep 30 && ./scriptname.sh is not a good idea [16:12] BajK: use a loop [16:12] MagicJ: in ~/.gvfs/ [16:12] ruan: that is the idea. and what kinds of loops are there in bash?

[16:17] that may work for you i had no probs in safari or opera though [16:17] only difference is that this server has to eth activated....

[16:26] dryicebom: ok its 1 now... [16:27] Shoryu: try it again now? [16:27] ruan: Nope. No route to host. [16:27] Shoryu, that will reset every time the machine reboots, to make it permanent find the line that says net.ipv4_froward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf [16:27] everytime i closed my laptop and then reopened it i would get an error. now when ireopen it it doesn't do anything at all. why?

[16:35] Shoryu, In file /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf, uncomment lines net.ipv4.ip_forward=1, net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1 [16:35] I think these lines are guilty in changing ip_forward to 0. [16:36] PeaceMaker: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is supposably the same thing. [16:36] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. I am having some problems with my fstab file. I have a USB device which I have set to a certain mount directory, but is not mounting automatically upon plugging it in. [16:36] <_UsUrPeR_> I can manually mount it, but I would prefer not to have to do that [16:36] Echoe9er: ubuntu is IDEAL for a laptop [16:37] Shoryu, yeah, but a reboot will ruin it and you don't know something else would reset it. [16:37] Echo9er: it has windows 7 preinstalled :c [16:37] lol [16:37] <_UsUrPeR_> the fstab line is: UUID=(uuid) /mountedusb ext4 defaults 0 2 [16:37] well obviously i would remove it ruan === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [16:37] <_UsUrPeR_> can anybody give me an idea of what the problem would be? [16:37] _UsUrPeR_: I think automount controls that stuff...?

[16:37] Echo9er: yeah but its a waste of money D: [16:38] MagicJ, Only if the laptop hardware is well supported. [16:38] well i cannot worry about that now ruan [16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> jjp: is automount an option for fstab? [16:38] its 240 off. [16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> should that go after default? [16:38] lol [16:38] jamesgecko: at this point I suspect that it would be tough to buy a new laptop that was not [16:38] <_UsUrPeR_> i.e. default,automount [16:38] is there a simple way to change grub's background?? [16:38] !grub [16:38] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[16:48] Jonii^: dont know about you, but right click can open menu items [16:48] Or, even make it so that pressing right mouse button to open menu, and then releasing it _can't_ select items from the menu list? [16:48] I downloaded an .exe and ran it, gave me a folder. As the ubuntu site said, can't find a .inf file in there. Is there any other way I can get the driver to work? [16:49] ruan, yes, that' s the problem [16:49] That's what I'm trying to fix [16:50] Liam: use "Shoryu:" at the beginning... it'll notify me that you messaged me.

[16:51] anyone know why uninstalling a package would eat up more disk space in the process? [16:52] meamme: you're safe enough as a linux user [16:52] meamme, close all your ports. or better yet, unplug the ethernet cord. nothing gets out and nothing goes in! probably not what you want. :) [16:52] lol [16:52] cause i have a server constantly pinging me [16:52] Shoryu: Righto, will do. Anyway of doing it then, I know what the driver is I need, I just don't know how to get it into ubuntu. [16:52] meamme: block it from communicating with you? [16:52] meamme: uuuh, how dangerous.... seriously, let them ping [16:53] lol [16:53] ko [16:53] meamme: use iptables to block its ip, or do it on your router/server (if you are behind one) [16:53] cant seem to get the router to block it [16:54] !iptables [16:54] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

That will not work afaik. You need to get the linux version of the driver. [16:55] everytime I connect my usb mouse with PC [16:55] White-Horse: does it appear in network manager? [16:55] it says device not detected [16:55] Liam: What "ubuntu" tutorial are you following anyways? [16:55] and then after several plug-outs and plug-ins it gets connected with PC properly [16:55] ruan yes but it is greyed out [16:55] any reasons ? or how to cure it ?

Like I said, there WILL be an INF file. Windows must have that. What is in the folder the installer extracts? And are you able to use UniExtract on a windows computer?

[17:04] yo. having problems with X. anyone wanna take a look at a segmentation fault in my Xorg.0.log? [17:04] how can i make or patch my wireless card to provide injection ? [17:04] Shoryu: I'm fairly sure it's a driver, in the folder I got when I ran the .exe I found a variety of .dlls and .exes. I don't know if that software works but I don't know it's necessary. Is there any way I can find the drivers windows has a take the .inf from there? [17:05] back [17:05] Anyways, is it really that difficult to fix ubuntu mouse?

[17:06] Liam: If there's another setup.exe, it would be in there. Run UniExtract on it so that it doesn't put it whereever it pleases.

I want to know what you guys think we should do with it? [17:06] ruan all this happened cause i forgot i did not have to disconnect from wired network to use wireless network [17:06] Liam: its tough picking out the driver from the windows/system32/drivers folder after it installs it. That's why I use UniExtract. [17:06] phonex01: you'll have to look online for what cards are known to be capable of packet injection. look around the backtrack forums. [17:06] White-Horse: use iwconfig [17:06] ruan i should of just unpluged the network cable [17:07] SITZ, if the same problem is there with windows, why not go to microsft and ask them as well? [17:07] Okay, do does anybody know why my live, well, usb drive is stuck at syslinux? [17:07] ok how can determine my card model in ubuntu ? [17:07] can i use dmesg ?

I used the setup.exe too, and that looks like it's going to put the drivers in System32 and to a restart :L [17:10] My battery is showing only a 40\% charge, yet the icon in the panel says "Laptop Battery is charged". I can't get it to charge at all- how can I fix this? [17:10] White-Horse: apt-get install wicd and then log out and back in again. [17:10] I need help created a quick bash script that creates a symbolic link to all sub folders underneath my current position [17:10] Jonii^: how do you know its a ubuntu fault then? [17:10] usr13 ok i will do that now [17:10] brightspark: most likely battery is old and only charges that much at max charge. it happens over time. [17:11] Jonii: I don't use the GUI all that often but I think there is an extensive options section in the mouse properties. [17:11] older live cd's dumped me in busybox ash btw [17:11] Jonii^: maybe you'd better ask in generic gnome-channels [17:11] guys aircrack website says that intel 5100 support injection but when i make the test i have negative answer ? [17:11] GeekyAdam: I'm gonna look into that, i'm really looking for a beginner's guide to linux servers (most likely debian or ubuntu box) [17:11] llutz, I've also been asking if that's the case. Again, no responses at all [17:11] SkiOne: You want to link all sub directories underneath your current one to where? And what is the current one? [17:11] Liam: There will be an inf file in there somewhere. [17:11] @GeekyAdam This is actually a replacement battery I bought less than six months ago. [17:11] Ar71K: then id start with ubuntu server, imo its the easiest to learn. much like ubuntu compared to other desktop linux distros [17:12] brightspark: why'd you replace it? did old one do the same thing? [17:12] Jonii^: have you used different window-managers to check the behaviour there? [17:12] did Kubuntu 9.10 already have a plymouth splash or was this introduced in 10.04? [17:12] SkiOne: What is it you want to do? [17:12] anyone? [17:12] Hm. I have this odd problem with my wired ethernet controller.

[17:12] * SkiOne can not type today [17:12] GeekyAdam: I agree, i've used SUSE, crunchbang, mint fluxbox, fedora and I always come back to ubuntu [17:13] Question - Ubuntu has been slowly eating more RAM even though it's sitting idle on my server here on my desk. It began at 480 RAM and it's climbed to 961 meg. Every 10 seconds it shoots up another 10mb or so in use. What is it doing? NOTHING is running but default processes. It's not a big deal, I'm just curious to know. [17:13] GeekyAdam: No, but it was three years old and only held about twenty minutes. This one can discharge, showing 50min left, but I can't make it recharge at all. [17:13] llutz, no idea what are window-managers [17:13] Shoryu: Ack. *facepalm* There is a .inf file there. It was stuck between a .ini and a .inx, is why I didn't see it D: [17:13] cp -i looks like it will work [17:13] Roasted, did you try opening system monitor to see what process it is? [17:13] Jonii^: those things managing the windows on your screen [17:13] Anyone? [17:14] Liam: INX?? ... ppl using crazy file exts ... well glad you found it. Good luck with that. [17:14] brightspark: are you sure you're using the correct power cable? Dell laptops use either a 65watt or 90watt and if you use a 65 for a 90, the battery doesnt charge but the laptop still works fine when plugged in. [17:14] hello guys [17:14] Liam: Thank you for using the live help system. [17:14] salomonv, none of the processes are taking up that much RAM. I assume it's caching stuff in the background, but I'm wondering A - why, B - can I tell it to stop, C - will this effect performance if I add a bunch of applications to active tasks that use up majority of my memory. [17:14] what's the best video converter ? [17:14] Jonii^: i just checked an old kde-3, same action there. so it seems to be a thing of xorg mouse event handling. ask those xorg-devs [17:14] hey Samuel2 :) === Dank420 is now known as Dank|AFK [17:14] GeekyAdam: Do you know of any ways to make my server access files on computers of my network and put them up on the internet with a password to access them?

Where to ask next? [17:14] Roasted but what process eats the most memory? [17:14] DOokami: If this were Windows, I'd say SUPER by eRightSoft, but on linux you're stuck with ffmpeg and frontends written for it. [17:15] SkiOne: ln -s will create symlink [17:15] I was thinking I could copy the sym links [17:15] is it possible to update iconv to a later version? [17:15] Shoryu ,, ffmpeg ? ,, can i download that ? [17:15] Jonii^: no idea, try #xorg-devel as a start [17:15] Ar71K: i cant personally think of any packages ive used, but you might want to look more into mounting network locations and stuff like that. [17:15] salomonv, compiz @ 23.5MiB. Certainly not enough to warrant the 1gb in use. [17:15] Jonii^: google should help [17:15] Ar71K: learn more about using a server before you jumpi n [17:15] DOokami: try PiTiVi.. drag a video in there and export it [17:15] SkiOne: Well, yes I think cp will copy symlinks [17:16] Is it true btrfs will be used as default FS in ubuntu in future? [17:16] I need to run this command ln -s ../.template/* . [17:16] from inside each sub folder [17:16] !btrfs [17:16] I've just installed OracleSqlDeveloper, but It had an error on its install. I've fixed by hand and its running, but every install or update that I made it still gives me the config error. What should I do? [17:16] is there an easy way to do that? [17:16] GeekyAdam: I have used this charger and battery combination without problems before. Mine is a Gateway, with an 11-volt battery and a 19V/3.42A source [17:16] Roasted, that's weird, most of the times there's one process eating it. Are you sure you get the results from all tasks? [17:16] GeekyAdam: Thanks man, maybe i'll download some EBooks on ubuntu servers first [17:16] Hi guys, quick question.. in ubuntu how do you check what mode apache is running in? I'm trying to figure out if I am running apache2-mpm-itk or apache2-mpm-prefork [17:16] salomonv, I have no idea. How do I tell? [17:18] usr13 i still do not have my wired network back [17:18] DOokami: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ... but google around for frontends for linux.

[17:30] Liam, make sure your Ubuntu CD is in the drive, ensure it's listed in the repositories in Synaptic, and try it more than once. It bombed out on me the first time, but the second time it worked. [17:31] the Sbackup available from the Ubuntu repositories is an older version and has a bug where you cannot restore your backups. When will the repository be updated? [17:31] DTx: I've got ubuntu installed to dual boot. When running ubuntu the install button does nothing. When on Vista, firefox does nothing and IE breaks when trying to install it. [17:32] Liam, what does Vista Firefox and IE have to do with it? [17:32] llutz_: like I said, I didn't have the part where he claimed it was a symlink. -r would have, as you pointed out, overridden the error. [17:33] dTx: I don't have an internet connection when running Ubuntu yet, so I was going to DL the package and put it on an XHDD [17:33] The package is on the Ubuntu install CD. Check your Repositories in Synaptic and make sure the CD is checked. [17:33] dTx: I'm not using a CD, I installing using Wubi, or whatever the program is called.

[17:56] sipior: but can logrotate use only one file and restrict its size and then delete first line once file reaches 20 lines?? cuz thats what I really want...

[17:57] needlez: no, it will not run automatically when the file exceeds twenty lines. if you're really interested in saving space, logging to a remote host is a much better option.

Ekiga, SFLphone, etc. I tried everything [18:28] skullboy: Then I think you should try: set root=(hd0,2) [18:29] Liam: If I had a broadcom wifi device, I would replace it something different, like atheros or intel pro or intel 2200 or... one of the ones that work well with linux. [18:29] How do you turn on ntpd debugging? [18:29] thanks can you point out how you got that im eager to learn [18:31] splnet: -d [18:31] skullboy: grub2 had a different numbering system for partitions than grub === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay [18:31] !grub2 > skullboy [18:31] skullboy, please see my private message [18:32] Hello [18:32] usr13: unfortunately it doesn't work according to man ntpd [18:32] I'm trying unity, it looks great so far [18:32] But I don't know how to run multiple instances of the terminal, for example [18:33] splnet: Well, not sure then, -d must have been deprecated. [18:33] mateobur: Ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:33] splnet: What problem are you having? [18:33] mateobur: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for Natty. [18:33] ok === root is now known as Guest51753 [18:33] mateoubr: :) [18:34] usr13: trying to sync with an NTP server on the LAN - but when I do an ntpq -> lpassociations it shows that that peer is rejected.. no Idea why [18:34] splnet: pastebinit /etc/ntp.conf [18:34] :) [18:35] hey guys, not sure what's going on here. I've got some stuff on my local PATH which resolves just fine, but `which foo` returns nothing [18:36] <_sudo> calm down there Mr T [18:36] usr13: http://pastebin.com/XDmtuBt6 -> server is 192.168.1.1 [18:36] _sudo: :P [18:36] evancharlton: aliases do not work with which [18:36] bastidrazor: it's not an alias [18:37] evancharlton: what is it? [18:37] bastidrazor: it's every bin that I added to my PATH [18:37] bastidrazor: just executables. For example, the Android SDK === ogra_ is now known as ogra [18:37] `adb` works just fine; `which adb` = '' [18:38] evancharlton: you don't add actual files to your path. you can directories that have bins in them.. [18:38] bastidrazor: I know. I added dirs === kdog_afk is now known as kdog [18:38] evancharlton: restart your term after you've added the new directory to your path [18:38] bastidrazor: in my ~/.bashrc: export PATH="$PATH:~/development/android-sdk/tools/" [18:38] bastidrazor: I have [18:39] hm, is it the ~ ? [18:39] Hi, I installed the minimal version and now I am missing some menu options that my guide wants me to click. For example System > Administration > Software Sources and System>Administration>Login Screen. Is there any way I can install those things now? [18:39] Guys [18:39] how do i check [18:39] what app uses ALSA? [18:39] evancharlton: echo $PATH shows this addition?.. ~ is shorthand for /home/yourusername [18:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 > Using CLI to Boot > "Example: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro". Ich habe ermittelt X=0, Y=7. Warum erzeugt 'grub > linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro' die Meldung 'error:no such disk'? [18:39] bastidrazor: yes, it shows that. and I know what ~ is shorthand for :) [18:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 > Using CLI to Boot > "Example: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro". I determined X=0, Y=7. But why obtains 'grub > linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro; error:no such disk'? [18:39] usr13: also 192.168.1.1 is showing up as a stratum 3 server ( according to tcpdump) not sure if thats why [18:39] evancharlton: try to use the fullpath instead of ~ [18:39] will do [18:39] one minute [18:40] evancharlton: my battery is dying. my laptop will last no longer. good luck [18:40] bastidrazor: full path does it. Damn. [18:41] thanks! [18:41] evancharlton: nice. now you know :) [18:42] what is that "Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011" date stand for in uname -a ? === lkd is now known as emrebey [18:42] ciaoo [18:42] hii [18:42] BajK: That's when the kernel you are running was compiled [18:42] splnet: Here's one that works: http://pastebin.com/r3DKBEUA [18:42] genii-around: thx [18:43] HI! Can anyone tell me the difference between 'fix committed' & 'fix released' for LP bugs? [18:43] splnet: ntpdate 192.168.1.1 #To test and see what happens. [18:43] bastidrazor: the ~ wasn't working because he had "'s around the PATH environment [18:43] from a client [18:43] Self-admitted Ubuntu n00b. What's the first thing I should know? [18:43] usr13: ntpdate works with my config [18:44] splnet: From a client? [18:44] anyone know how to get more services to show up under System > Administration? [18:44] splnet: From another computer? [18:44] yeah my machine (w ntp.conf that I showed you) is acting as a client to 192.168.1.1 [18:44] herpderp: first thing, not to call yourself " Self-admitted Ubuntu n00b" ;p [18:45] splnet: Well, show me the npt.conf of the server. [18:45] usr13: don't have access to it [18:45] Suddenly when I try to install updates from Update Manager or install any application with Ubuntu Software Center, I get a message saying "Requires installation of untrusted packages" [18:45] splnet: You can't fix what you don't have access to. [18:45] usr13: other machines work as a broadcast client to it [18:46] splnet: Why not just use another time server? [18:46] usr13: why are you convinced its the server? ntpdate works to it, other broadcast clients work to it so thats why I'd like to fix ntpd [18:47] bullgard4: you have to 'set root=(hdx,y)' before specifying a kernel [18:47] splnet: Ok, I must admit. I'm not sure I know what your question is (or was). [18:47] usr13: I need two clients to be synced with a small error between the two. Using an NTP server on the LAN does this [18:48] evenin all! [18:48] splnet: /etc/ntp.conf is a configuration file for ntpd [18:48] usr13: the question is/was client A using ntpd needs to sync to a stratum 3 server 192.168.1.1 [18:48] * _sudo looks at the sun out the window === Guest64305 is now known as DarkDevil [18:49] usr13: right ntpd can be used for a server AND a client === DarkDevil is now known as Guest82206 [18:49] I want to use it as a client [18:49] Suddenly when I try to install updates from Update Manager or install any open source application with Ubuntu Software Center, I get a message saying "Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [18:50] splnet: You can have them update their time often, like once a week or every other day and that should do it. Right? Just have them use the same time server, what ever time server you like. [18:50] small question: does Ubuntu for netbooks have the same functionality as Ubuntu for desktops? Is it only the GUI that is simplified or can you also do less with it? [18:51] usr13: right I just want that server to be the one on the LAN.. but ntpd is rejecting it for some reason. You get my problem now? [18:51] hello, i have problem with dpkg-buildpackage, this is part from my debian/control: http://wklej.org/id/494686 and this is error from dpkg-buildpackage: http://wklej.org/id/494689 [18:51] how i disable my trash [18:51] The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages: * openjdk-6-jdk * ecj * gcj-4.4-jdk * gcj-4.5-jdk -- I'm a little confused about which of these is the right one, and why there is more than one. [18:51] i want to delet forever === stan_ is now known as stna === stna is now known as stan [18:51] splnet: You might try asking in #ntp [18:52] splnet: Well, not sure why ntpd is rejecting it, but can't use ntpdate instead? Is that a viable work-around? [18:52] drc: Good idea. [18:52] Danny_Joris_: only the interface is different [18:52] usr13: well I could with a crontab but thats kind of what ntpd is supposed to do [18:53] overclucker: cool, thanks! [18:53] usr13: Right tool/channel for the right job :) [18:53] hi; I get no errors when I run "sudo pm-hibernate", but my computer is not hibernating [18:54] #ubuntu.pl [18:54] anyone know any thing about htc syncing? [18:54] splnet: I know, but until you fix it, ... I don't know and don't know how to fix it. And I know drc... right tool for right job... but just a work-around.... [18:54] do i need a virusscanner on my ubuntu? [18:54] !virus | Samuel2, no [18:54] Samuel2, no: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:55] !security | Samuel2 [18:55] Samuel2: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [18:55] i run a webserver here is there no risk at all?

[18:58] wat [18:58] <[TK]D-Fender> Samuel2: Yes.. by setting up a firewall [18:58] !firewall [18:58] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [18:58] <[TK]D-Fender> Samuel2: And you already HAVE one.. its called iptables [18:59] great === MrE is now known as Guest61260 [18:59] i'll take the server down for now [18:59] to be save [18:59] Hello, I have a problem : the space to entre my password to log in my session doesn' appears at boot.

See man sort [19:10] zek152, what you are looking for is called: natural sort order, not that i know how to do that in bash [19:12] ilea: To video-chat via Empathy you'll need only a recent version of Ubuntu and installing Empathy packages, a webcam, a communication partner and some luck for NAT traversing.

I will try to find the appropriate channel for you. [22:00] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: all of the programs I mentioned are exactly that. You run it on your server you point your domain to your box, you add your own users.

[22:01] skullboy:uhm you are getting this wrong somehow [22:01] !ask | Br0sephStalin [22:01] Br0sephStalin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:02] skullboy: that is out of the scope of this channel. [22:02] Alright [22:02] mickster04: no i want to provide my own internet service from my house [22:02] skullboy: yeah no, not gonna happen... [22:02] All this stuff ( my music) filled my panel and now i cant access my applications, places or system. how do i create a new panel or get around this? [22:03] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: Install a 20$ Linksys router and let somone connect to it [22:03] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: And charge for service. Instant ISP [22:03] hello [22:03] i am from quebec [22:03] [TK]D-Fender: that will probably be against ToS [22:03] Aginor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581826/ [22:03] skullboy, not a good idea at home [22:03] anybody [22:03] Rt666-1: that's ok, we help everyone we can around here [22:03] <[TK]D-Fender> mickster04: We'll burn that bridge when we get to it, k? ;) [22:03] Can help me with my problem? [22:03] hi.i have windows 7 installed on my thinkpad along with an ubuntu full instalition and a kubuntu instalition with wubi. one hour ago i installed open suse 11.4 on a seprate drive and when the setup was about to finish it shows errors with the grub and boot loader and i clicked cancel.now the drive in which i installed open suse contains the suse files but i can see it nowhere in the boot options. [22:04] well this program freeze when i open the channels list [22:04] dam program [22:04] Aginor: why [22:04] windows all versions sucks! long live LINUX [22:04] skullboy: why do you want to do that? it sounds way excessive [22:04] Logan, how do i private message you [22:04] omid: it didn't install correctly that's why [22:05] !pm | Br0sephStalin [22:05] Br0sephStalin: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [22:05] hi, i want install virtualbox, what is the package? [22:05] omid: have suse put its bootloader on its own partition, then include it in your main bootloader which you can probably do by just running update-grub [22:05] i am using kde. how can i keep the programs in my title bar sperated by the desktop number they are on? rather than all combined [22:05] I asked my question [22:05] no answer [22:05] skullboy, dynamic ips, breach of ToS for your home internet connection, lack of reverse lookups for your domain [22:05] mickster04: so i dont have to relie on my isp to provide internet access and they dont get any info off my internet activity and yes i do use proxies [22:06] france: virtualbox-ose [22:06] bastidrazor, thank [22:06] All this stuff ( my music) filled my panel and now i cant access my applications, places or system. how do i create a new panel or get around this? [22:06] mickster04 suse installed completely and in final minutes it shows errors regarding the grub. [22:06] omid: hence it didn't install properly [22:06] france: you're welcome [22:06] soul, and everything worked nicely before you changed the port? [22:06] acicula how can i do su in ubuntu.i'm new to linux [22:06] !panels | Br0sephStalin [22:06] Br0sephStalin: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:07] !sudo | omid [22:07] omid: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [22:07] !sudo | omid [22:07] Hey [22:07] Aginore: yes it did.... are my settings right? Look here... http://paste.ubuntu.com/581828/ [22:07] Aginor: yes i know i dont want to have reverse look ups on me to track my location [22:07] Aginor: great minds must think alike. [22:07] bastidrazor, indeed :D [22:07] I'm halfway through a distro upgrade (from 10.04 to 10.10) and I have run out of space on /boot, what should I do? Its halfway through installing packages so I don't think i could remove the old kernal images right now [22:07] "gnome-pane: no process found [22:07] Hey, I've got a mail server with postfix, dovecot & squirrelmail - does anyone know how I would go about setting up a vacation autoresponder? Found some stuff on google, but it seems mostly to be homebrew solutions for what should be a well trodden path. [22:08] Br0sephStalin: copy the l too? [22:08] zen_cat: does squirrel not have it already? [22:08] Br0sephStalin: That sounds like a problem I had in Ubuntu 9.04, when I was playing with screen resolutions; the panel icons disappeared of the edge of the screen, leaving me no 'controls'! [22:08] I'm an idiot [22:08] thank you very much [22:08] bastidrazor, thank, but i write feew words to english [22:09] Aginor: reverse look up is when they track you right [22:09] soul, it looks fine to me [22:09] Hi! How can I list every available version of a package? [22:09] Want to da a downgrade [22:09] skullboy, no, have a look at www.endace.com, that's how they can track you if they really want to [22:09] Aginor: hmmm.... guess I am gonna play it with it more and see what I can do haha, thanks for ur help though :) [22:09] mickster04: It appears not. There are a couple of plugins that do it, but they refer to getting your autoresponse service working before setting up the plugin, so I'm not sure if they are complete solutions by themselves. [22:10] omid: better to just familiarize yourself a bit on how grub works, the ubuntu grub and multiboot pages are a good start [22:10] what's the channel for linux audio users? [22:10] Aginor: if I get it fixed then I will say how I fixed it... [22:10] sinisterstuf: well we all use audio on linux? music etc ? :p [22:10] soul, sorry about not being able to help. I read an old mailing list post that hinted at the fact that it might be useful to regenerate your server key, but besides from that I have no ideas [22:10] thank you guys.i'm starting to use ubuntu more and more.but i wanted to give KDE a try and i didnt liked kubuntu.so i installed suse.do you think editing the grub may fix the problem or i most install suse again ? [22:10] <[TK]D-Fender> [18:05] mickster04: so i dont have to relie on my isp to provide internet access and they dont get any info off my internet activity and yes i do use proxies <- You are getting upstream service from SOMEONE [22:10] soul, that'd be great [22:11] france: #ubuntu-fr may be a better channel for you. [22:11] Aginor: how do i make it impossible to be traced [22:11] mickster04: there is an actual channel, for people doing audio production and stuff [22:11] Aginor: I will try that and report back... not giving up [22:11] sinisterstuf: oh i c, i doubt it, it depends what your problems are? === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [22:11] skullboy, you can't while sending your packets to someone [22:11] france: or #ubuntu-it for italy [22:12] skullboy: remove the cable from the computer [22:12] Aginor: packet spoofing how do i go about that [22:12] mickster04: I've been there before but I can't find the channel [22:12] skullboy, packet spoofing means that your data would never actually reach you [22:12] omid: you can either boot the suse kernel/initrd directly from the ubuntu bootloader, or you have to use the suse boot disk/livecd/whatever to boot the suse installation [22:12] sinisterstuf: so what are your issues, are they with ubuntu or something else? [22:12] skullboy, it's less hassle to follow mickster04's suggestion [22:12] Aginor: how would I add a host to the add host file? by just typing the IP in the box? [22:13] Aginor: to remove the cable??? [22:13] hello, all [22:13] soul, which host file? hosts.allow and hosts.deny? if your hosts.deny is empty you don't need to bother with hosts.allow [22:13] Why is my runlevel 2? should not be 5? [22:13] skullboy: the internet is not private, or secretive beyond the normal security stuff yoiu can do. there is no way to make anything untraceable, merely very difficult. one has to ask what are you doing that is so important that you keep under wraps [22:13] !runlevel | carlos82 [22:13] carlos82: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:13] Aginor: oh okay [22:13] Does anyone here use SSH through Ubuntu? [22:13] carlos82, this is debian based, not redhat [22:14] battlehands, yep [22:14] mickster04: I don't have issues but somebody else does, and like my previous issues, they are technical and specific to audio but not so much specific to ubuntu, although I do use ubuntu [22:14] battlehands: yes, you have a real question? [22:14] battlehands: yes [22:14] !anyone | battlehands [22:14] battlehands: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [22:14] I have the als base open on terminal how do i save and close??? [22:14] battlehands: feel free to state your original issue instead of making people guess and answer meaningless questions :) [22:14] what are these kinds of notations \u0049 for (special) chars / how are those called [22:14] Aginor: how do i spoof the packets [22:14] jrn_a: unicode [22:14] iceroot, I havent used the login before... and Im just a little lost on how to get started. [22:14] skullboy, I am not going to help you perform malicious acts [22:14] acicula when i have a bad experience in installing suse.and i have paid for my windows so i dont want to damage it.after i installed suse my windows needed system repair to boot.i dont know why but somehow i'm afraid to lose my windows data.i'm a newbie [22:15] bastidrazor, thanks [22:15] When i use update-grub there will not add windows to boot loader. Windows is on other HDD than ubuntu. Can someone give me solution [22:15] isn't unicode known for that it accepts most special chars without special notation [22:15] I have the als base open on terminal how do i save and close????? [22:15] Aginor... I'm doing the right switch and syntax though right? "ssh -p 1369 192.168.0.66" its Lucid distro too, should of said that at first [22:15] Aginor: i dont plan to use this for illeagle perposes [22:15] battlehands, what is your goal? [22:15] omid: the changes are only made to the boot sequence, not to the data, so unless you repartition your windows volume your data will be there [22:16] skullboy: then why are you hiding? [22:16] battlehands: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal may help you get started [22:16] smw, to learn how to use it [22:16] battlehands: ssh != terminal [22:16] battlehands, are you connecting to a remote machine? [22:16] When i use update-grub there will not add windows to boot loader. Windows is on other HDD than ubuntu. Can someone give me solution [22:16] mickster04: documents i dont want anyone to get my hands on [22:16] skullboy, A) you don't know enough about how networks know what you're asking for. B) it wouldn't help you anyway. C) use encryption, security through obscurity is not security [22:16] skullboy: Google and youtube help great [22:16] omid: best to use the windows recovery cd then to fix the window installation and then reinstall ubuntu? [22:17] skullboy: well don't put them on the net? [22:17] mickster04, I don't have a problem with him liking his privacy, I think everyone is entitled to privacy [22:17] 1 moment === derp is now known as Guest33317 [22:17] on phone with tech support form my hosting [22:17] snowed: its typically caused by windows not being shutdown properly, reboot to windows, make sure its shutdown properly and try to rerun update-grub [22:18] im getting a node at linode.com .. should I go with ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? I will be using 512mb ram. [22:18] vacho: either is fine [22:18] hola [22:18] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: You started from wanting to install a mail server, to becoming an ISP, from becoming independent of any upstream providers service, to spoofing (When is this NOT malicious?). You seem to be trying to go from zero to "hacker god" in 0 steps and asking questions that you believe will be answered entirely in IRC in a GUI-happy distro channel. You should re-evaluate your goals & methods [22:18] hi shell [22:18] heyy cmon how do i close the alsa base and save????? [22:18] acicula: what about version? 10.04 OR 10.10 ?? [22:18] how hard of a Q is it? [22:19] dru__: its vague to say the least. [22:19] dru__: What is " als base "? [22:19] acicula. right now both ubuntu and windows works fine.but i dont see a suse option in the grub.thats the only problem i have.during suse instalition i gave it a dedicated ntfs partition to format to ext4 and install suse. i didnt see it a treat to my ubuntu and windows instalition which where using seprate partitions. [22:19] dru__: have you read up on the doco that came with it? [22:19] alsa [22:19] vacho: thats a personal choice pick lts or the latest release [22:19] acicula: windows was shuted down properly . Since i installed ubuntu few days ago i cant get in to windows. [22:19] dru__: What is " alsa base "? [22:19] yeah it says nuthing how to close just how to open and what to write in it [22:19] dru__, what do you mean close alsa base and save? [22:19] 256 swap or 512? thats my last question [22:19] itetc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [22:19] dru__, what says that? [22:20] it doesnt say anything it just says to open and what to type in [22:20] dru__, you need to give the full context of what you are doing. [22:20] !multiboot | omid [22:20] and i have no idea what to do after [22:20] dru__, what is it? [22:20] dru__, what is the guide you are reading from? [22:20] !dualboot | omid [22:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [22:20] omid: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [22:20] thats what Im doing [22:21] dru__, ctrl x [22:21] thx [22:21] Hey, can someone help me with Wine HQ, I've installed it to run exe's and when I try and use it in terminal it just says cannot find the file [22:21] dru__ next time you come, tell the exact command you typed in, the guide you are following, and what you are trying to do. [22:22] acicula by the way. do you see the wubie installer a good solution to trying kubuntu , xubuntu etc? i frequently need system repair and when i'm in kubuntu i think somehow it crashes too often. [22:22] dru__: " alsa base "? I have no idea, I can't picture what you are doing? Describe the window or application that you are running? [22:22] <[TK]D-Fender> so how about vnc injecting [22:22] omid: its pretty terrible, best to just install ubuntu on a plain partition [22:22] So I have SSH setup with my hosting provider, but Im not sure how to use SSH through Ubuntu to login and move files around. [22:22] Logan your guide led me from poor sound qulity to no sound at all [22:22] thank you ubottu.i'll read'em [22:23] omid: also you do not have to reinstall ubuntu to try kubuntu,xubuntu [22:23] Excuse me, I use ubuntu and I would like to know how to mount an Iso at the command line? [22:23] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: Again, how is this not "malicious"? [22:23] Psychoholic, mount -o loop iso /path/to/mnt/point === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [22:23] Battlehands, from the command line you can use sftp [22:23] Hey, can someone help me with Wine HQ, I've installed it to run exe's and when I try and use it in terminal it just says cannot find the file [22:24] if you have a gui installed, you can use something like Filezilla [22:24] omid: as these are all the same, you can install these environments by installing the ubuntu-desktop,xubuntu-desktop, and kubuntu-desktop packages and just select the environment that you want at the login prompt [22:24] !wine | liam [22:24] liam: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [22:24] <[TK]D-Fender> well if i remotely send the packets from another location then it would appear he is sending them [22:24] sudo mount /path/to/iso -o loop /place/to/mount [22:24] acicula. when i asked guys in iranian ubuntu irc channel they said that ubuntu is good but kubuntu isnt as good as suse in KDE.that's why i downloaded suse [22:24] im trying to do that but it seems there is a problem [22:24] !ssh [22:24] skullboy: take your hacking attempts elsewhere [22:24] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [22:24] <[TK]D-Fender> skullboy: then set up a proxy on that machine [22:25] know any good hacking channels [22:25] skullboy: no [22:25] Psydoll, first of all, use my name in every msg directed to me. Second, post an error please :-) [22:25] omid: i havent tried suse in awhile, but you have to realize only one linux installation can manage the bootloader, if you install more distrivbutions you will have to chainload them or manually add them to the initial bootloader. [22:25] battlehands, are you on linux or windows? [22:25] skullboy your computer is probably called yourname@ubuntu and your going hacking lol! [22:25] battlehands, linux. [22:25] smw, Im reading the ubuntu help page on SSH [22:25] smw thank you i will [22:26] skullboy's from Canada apparently [22:26] battlehands, are you on windows or ubuntu? [22:26] in suse i could change the bootloader with Yast. is there something like yast in ubuntu? [22:26] smw, ubuntu [22:26] i did a whois on him it he has the freenode vhost [22:26] how do I reset the Gnome panel, there is an error with it and i forgot the command [22:26] lol!

[22:28] smw, Im setting up my desktop as the ssh server atm [22:28] omid: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop [22:28] omid, "alot" is relative. It takes less than 3 GB [22:29] Everytime I boot up, I get this message before I get to my login screen, "EDID Checksum Invalid, Remainder is 22." What does that mean [22:29] dru__: what laptop do you have, also paste output from lspci | grep Audio [22:29] Psydoll, yes, you just run it in wine. However, I highly suggest against this. Using wine is not easy. [22:29] having both KDE and Gnome installed dosnt have any effect on performance and something like that? [22:29] Aignor: I got it fixed... you are gonna laugh when I tell you how [22:30] omid, not on performance. [22:30] smw its a programme with a gui how hard could it be? [22:30] acer 5738 zg I dunno what lspci is [22:30] omid, just disk space and clutter. :-) [22:30] Aignor: all I did was....... REBOOT hahaha, thank you for your help though, you helped me learn some new commands to trouble shoot [22:30] Psydoll, what is a program with a gui? [22:30] smw surely you cant use an iso in wine after its mounted? [22:30] I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd? [22:30] dru__: you can type it in a console, gives a aline of output telling you what audio hw youhav [22:31] acicula, please be more precise Im novice [22:31] smw what i mean is it has boxes to configure and check its not command line driven is wine is it? [22:31] usr/sbin/adduser === Amgine_ is now known as Amgine [22:31] adduser: The group `admin' already exists. [22:31] wtf ?? [22:31] smw i actually dont have wine, when i type sudo apt-get Wine i get a bus error? [22:32] Psydoll, sudo apt-get install wine?

[22:34] Psydoll: errors like that ussually mean hardware problems [22:35] battlehands, ssh user@host [22:35] acicula, everything is fine here [22:35] battlehands, that easy [22:35] dru__: what is the real problem you are trying to solve? [22:35] how do I remove a group in ubuntu???? [22:35] Im having sound qulity problems [22:36] smw, it said that it could not resolve the host. name or service not known [22:36] I'm looking through the instructions for Wine and one of the instructions is "Open Terminal, and cd into the directory where the .exe is" What does it mean by cd? [22:36] hi [22:36] I cant figure out what I have set wrong, the windows machines on my home network can see me and the folders I shared but when they try to access them they get the message "Not accessible Might not have permission" [22:36] smw can you recommend a small programme that i can try installing to see if other programs work? [22:36] In ubuntu, I can open Startup Applications to add an application to start at boot. In Xubuntu, however, I am unable to find 'Startup Applications' or anything of the like. Any suggestions? [22:36] psydoll, scilab [22:36] scilab? [22:36] kk [22:36] Psydoll, sudo apt-get scilab [22:37] Psydoll, sudo apt-get install scilab [22:37] liam: cd is a command, which changes directory. [22:37] .

[22:37] got the same error [22:38] model basic works [22:38] aa [22:39] Open a terminal window (Accessories), and "cd directory" [22:39] liam: Open a terminal window (Accessories), and "cd directory" [22:39] Can someone help me configure my openssh server file? [22:39] dru__: model refers to the laptop i think, so acer ? the wiki links to a thread with a list on models [22:40] acicula, cant find my model [22:40] Ericy: got it, thanks. [22:40] battlehands, why do you want to do that? [22:40] dru__: dunno then [22:40] liam: Try "help cd" first. [22:40] i cannot locate the create a usb startup disk option under system/admin/ yet i checked and i see it is installed [22:41] smw, because I want to use SSH to login to my desktop from any other computer and access/create files. Im trying to learn HOW to do that and apparently I need to configure my sshserver file after having installed it. [22:42] battlehands, you don't have to configure anything [22:42] battlehands: actually the default just works [22:42] battlehands: not really, the normal config is fine [22:42] smw, could you help me get started? [22:42] Ericy: I used "cd directory" like you said and terminal gave me ">", I typed wine "application.exe" like the Wine tutorial asks and it said "Bash: directorywine: application" cannot be found [22:42] battlehands, if you already installed it, all that is left is to ssh to it. [22:43] exit [22:43] i looked under ubuntu software installation and i see it is installed but i dont see it under the path. what would be the command line ? [22:43] smw, this is my first time doing anything like this, so I dont even know how to start using it. [22:43] smw, I installed the server package on my desktop, and I installed the client package on my laptop [22:43] battlehands, it comes with the client [22:43] battlehands, anyways, just ssh user@host [22:43] smw, what comes with the client? [22:44] battlehands, ubuntu [22:44] smw, I tried that already when you said it earlier... and I received an error message. [22:44] smw, could you be more specific in your instructions? [22:45] liam: Leave off the " ". [22:45] battlehands, so instead of telling me that, you decided to edit a config file? lol. What was the error? [22:45] liam: And for directory, what did you type? [22:46] I opened my laptop terminal (the computer Im using as a client), and typed "ssh battlehands@battlehands-dkt" and it said that the name or service was unknown. [22:47] battlehands, that means that that dns name does not exist. [22:47] hello [22:47] Ericy: Yes, I did that.. XD I typed "media\expansion drive" my XHDD is called Expansion Drive and I don't know how to cd to it [22:47] battlehands, use ip address. [22:47] smw, how [22:47] battlehands, replace the host with the ip [22:48] ok [22:48] battlehands, or you could try battlehands-dkt.local if you have mdns [22:48] smw, I dont know what mdns means [22:48] just try it [22:48] :P [22:48] smw, I was also under the impression that I need some type of hosting to use SSH [22:49] battlehands: by installing ssh server you are hosting a ssh server? [22:49] battlehands, something has to host it. Your desktop works [22:49] liam: It sounds like perhaps you need to learn the basics of directories & files. Try this "man pwd" (without the "). [22:49] dTx, it said that the authenticity cannot be established,,, do I continue? [22:49] is 10.10 worth installing now that 11.04 is coming? [22:49] battlehands, yes [22:49] Ericy: I do, this is my first day using Ubuntu :P [22:49] 11.04 is coming [22:49] crap [22:49] mrdeb, perhaps not, 11.04 is only a month away [22:50] i just installed 10.10 [22:50] suprbly: just update?

[23:20] battlehands: and put a '&' after the file name [23:20] gerrin: try typing in "which alsa" without the quotes [23:20] soul, for example... if Im using Texmaker to open a latex file I would do texmaker ??? [23:20] gerin I bet that is what you are using right now [23:20] battlehands: not sure... you can jsut try to "cd" in to it too and see it that works [23:20] liam: And if you see your XHDD, do: cd /media/"expansion drive" [23:20] soul, ok. I will play around with it [23:20] soul, thanks again [23:20] type that in terminal right?

I would try compiling VBA from source using OSS instead and see if that helps any [23:22] ok, im such a noob lol, how do i do that? [23:22] Ericy: It's working now! I can open the .exe! Thanks a lot for the run through!! [23:22] gerrin: the same thing goes for mupen too [23:23] liam: Anytime. Bye. [23:23] gerrin: hit up the official website for VBA and look for a download section.

I uninstalled some packages, but now when I reinstall them they don't get completely installed. They are missing configuration files and such. Tried purging deleting, etc, but when I go to reinstall - it doesn't work. [23:24] gerrin: be warned though, compiling from source might end up with you scratching your head a fair bit, but you will learn a ton in the process [23:24] any ideas on what I may have done and how to correct? [23:24] ok preciate it [23:25] Urocyon, which packages [23:25] !webmin | vacho [23:25] vacho: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [23:25] well, in this case postgres 9 using martin's backports. [23:25] itaylor57: that's not true..it is supported..I just installed it?

I'm good on the $HOSTNAME part, but I want the file to end up being called $HOSTNAME_ldap_key [23:26] vacho: no I just made up the factoid in the bot [23:26] not the dist-upgrade, no [23:27] battlehands: type "gnome-open " [23:27] dist-upgrading and rebooting, just in case. [23:28] What the easiest way to copy a file's full location from Nautilus? Ctrl+C copies it in a way more appropriate for a browser than a terminal [23:29] cayne: try ${HOSTNAME}_ldap_key ? [23:30] ehw: nope... it doesn't recognize the variable and instead prints out just _ldap_key [23:33] ehw: how about $HOSTNAME + '_ldap_key' [23:33] EmuAlert: Just quote it in the terminal. cd '/this/path/that/I/copied/from/nautilus/with spaces in it/' [23:33] trying to figure out how to configure VBA(visualboy advance) from source, can anyone help === nzaw4 is now known as CEO [23:33] cayne: is this is bash?

[23:34] ehw: yeah, I just tried echoing $HOSTNAME from a test script and it apparently doesn't recognize the variable inside the script, but my system knows it [23:34] nope... that wasn't it afterall [23:34] cant figure it out, never dont this befor [23:34] #eArgentina [23:34] rats. still no configuration love. [23:34] cayne: how about $HOSTNAME + '_ldap_key' [23:35] Hm, anyone know how to make xchat remember to not show join/leave msgs? would be helpful for this channel :) (or some alternative IRC client that is good) [23:35] th0r: no love. The script apparently doesn't know about $HOSTNAME [23:35] Got to be something peculiar to martin's script. sorry for the bother. [23:36] cayne: You can set it explicitly with HOSTNAME=$(hostname -f) at the top of your script, then [23:37] hey cayne, cant find that .tar.gz you told me to find [23:38] hi ok help how do i set up my computer internet connection to go as fast as it can up and down thanks [23:38] ehw: still not picking up my hostname...

It has spaces and starts with / when I paste it here [23:40] ehw: yeah, I can echo my hostname of my FQDN with it, but the script doesn't catch it [23:40] can I post urls in here?

Are you doing something different? [23:42] if I echo the hostname variable as you told me toset it inside the script it echos fine, but it doesn't seem to want to use it in another variable [23:43] th0r: still nothing... this is stupid... I have never had to fight this hard with one bloody variable [23:44] hi guys, I need to take the screenshot of an entire window which extends beyond the screen (I need to scroll down).

[23:45] [TK]D-Fender: very nicely said [23:46] cayne: line3: SERVERNAME=$HOSTNAME + .... since HOSTNAME has been defined in line2 [23:46] Jordan_U: I'm just pressing Ctrl+C when the file is selected. The Ctrl+L thing works to get the location, but I still have to type in the file's name, which is a little annoying [23:46] cayne: and you might be causing yourself problems by trying to use HOSTNAME as a variable....use something like KEYNAME instead [23:47] th0r: wow... I can't believe my stubborness didn't let me come up with that one... [23:47] anyone know how i can change from alsa to oss? [23:47] EmuAlert: I see what you mean now. Not sure what you can do about that, but you might want to file a bug report against Gnome Terminal as it should probably be smart enough to recognize such pastes as file paths and handle them correctly. [23:49] EmuAlert: Ahh, you can also just drag the file into the terminal window. [23:49] hey everyone, im trying to remotely monitor an enterprise network for host specific traffic and bandwidth usage, ideally using promisious mode without physical access to the gateway. [23:49] th0r: still nothing... I am getting frustrated pretty fast with this script... SERVERNAME=${KEYNAME} + '_ldap_key' isn't working either [23:49] Jordan_U: Ah, thanks a bunch. [23:50] EmuAlert: You're welcome. [23:50] cayne: yup....the change I suggested works in my vm at least [23:50] nick lwizardl === Guest31324 is now known as lwizardl [23:51] im running 10.10 64bit build, would like to switch some programs from alsa to oss but dont know how, can anyone help? [23:51] cayne: http://pastebin.com/jWweW6ZS [23:51] what is alsa and oss? [23:52] the sound systems i think === Guest26434 is now known as DarkDevil [23:52] cayne: You don't need to rename your variable $KEYNAME, and it would be : SERVERNAME="${KEYNAME}_ldap_key" [23:52] cayne: if ehw's doesn't do the trick....I did it a little different and it seems to work === DarkDevil is now known as Guest62688 [23:53] I have a problem with xubuntu 10.4, I get a blank screen ("no signal detected" from the monitor) after the xubuntu splash screen. I have tried these kernel options: i915.modeset=0, xforcevesa, nomodeset, none make a difference. I have tried booting into recovery and doing failsafeX, but then I get "out of range" from the monitor. anybody have any suggestions what else to try? [23:53] cayne: There is nothing special about the variable $HOSTNAME, this applies to any variable in bash. [23:53] ehw: worked like a charm. I guess I was trying to overcomplicate things [23:53] Great :) [23:53] Jordan_U: alrighty. [23:54] ehw: I appreciate the help [23:54] cayne: Very welcome, and good luck [23:55] ehw: so looking at your script I guess my issue was that I need the squiggly brackets to use a variable within another, and the entire thing needs to be double quoted? [23:56] cayne: The squiggles let bash pick out variable names,right [23:57] is there a name for the process that manages the display of themes? my theme is messed up .. [23:57] pretty much like here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1629628 [23:57] If there's no white space ... [23:58] hi... how can i check my battery level on command line? [23:58] ehw: okay, that makes sense. Nobody likes whitespace [23:58] Is there a way to check to see if an mp3 file is DRM'd? [23:59] cayne: double quotes arund a syring mean vars should be substituted, single quotes mean to ignore them [23:59] running 10.10 anybody know why i can't play youtube videos in full screen without them freezing all the time? [23:59] ehw: ahh... I wondered what the difference was between single and double [23:59] tried updating flash still no joy [23:59] chairmao: flash sucks in linux, next question [23:59] i've googled how to do it
