I tried sudo remove-apt-repos... but that didnt work [00:06] irc [00:06] Socky_: edit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:06] chris_osx: You could try a broadcast ping but most nics do not respond to broadcast ping [00:07] Oh god. Socky_ twitch ppa-purge? [00:07] chris_osx: etherape might be another choice.. gui centric and easy. [00:07] anyone [00:07] bueller [00:07] chris_osx, go to terminal type nmap plus your ip with a /24 instead of the last digit in ya ip [00:07] triggerhapp: i like editing files ... *hands on ;) [00:07] Does anyone know of a good solution like "NEAT Reciepts" for linux?

[00:09] Socky_ : look in sources.d folder === Guest58807 is now known as DarkDevil [00:09] Socky_, try man apt-add-repository === DarkDevil is now known as Guest69713 [00:10] chris_osx, install nmap first tho lol [00:10] this windows program installed correctly but needs to interact with the usb and access it and it won't recognize the usb [00:10] Ola bruderz! ikonia bruder Pici bruder ola!

Displayed is output to a HDTV via HDMI [00:12] I was getting choppy playback with the built in driver support. that and I couldn't quite make the screen fill the entire HDTV display area [00:12] I found the 3rd Party Nvidia drivers, that support hardware acceleration. Now I Can play 1080P. Problem now is the Output area is slightly larger than my HDTV [00:12] so the left/right top/bottom boundries are off the screen [00:12] Nvidia X server settings allows me to adjust rez, but I can't seem to shrink the output dispay area to make it fit [00:12] todulchaos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:12] What software would you suggest if I want to make voip/webcam with others who use windows (skype?googletalk?)? [00:12] usr13, notice any improvements [00:12] ? [00:12] I think I may have just hosed my media center PC (Acer Aspire Revo) that runs Ubuntu Karmic. I let it do a system upgrade and after it rebooted it would only come up in Low-Resolution mode, I use a program called "Back In Time" which I thought was supposed to be like Time Machine on a Mac. So I tried restoring from the latest backup. Not only did that NOT fix the video issue, but now Sudo doesn't work, nor any program that requires a [00:12] password. [00:12] ar0n: Since when __________? [00:12] since the upgrade? [00:13] M-T, thats no good [00:13] knoppies, for skype, use skype [00:13] i always get this "N: Ignoring file 'karmic_0.list.1' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension [00:13] " is that a problem [00:13] thanks [00:13] Well, I haven't fired up my 64bit machine in about a week now. So I guess not. (In other words, I do not know when the last upgrade was.) [00:13] knoppies: you can get skype for linux and !empathy for msn/yahoo etc ... [00:13] !webcam | knoppies [00:13] knoppies: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:14] ar0n: So, again: Since when __________? [00:14] I know. I can still get into it as a user but wonder if there's any hope of repairing it. [00:14] triggerhapp, I know, thanks, thats not what I was asking, I was asking for better alternatives. [00:14] have you noticed any issues with youtube embedded clips [00:14] http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/3/18/2057986/ufc-128-weigh-in-video-and-results#storyjump [00:14] ar0n: Since when __________? [00:14] or this [00:14] thatnks twitch, do you know of any better alternatives. [00:14] after the upgrade to 64bit [00:14] knoppies, I meant that the only way to connect with skype protocol is skype ;) wasnt sure if you thought others would support it === lance_ is now known as Guest6465 [00:15] ar0n: Well, yea it works just fine. But that's all I can say. It works just fine on my 32bit box as well, so.... [00:15] triggerhapp, thanks, what I meant was, they can install anything on their machine, provided that it will run on windows. [00:15] knoppies, understood :3 [00:15] knoppies: To the best of my knowledge, there is no alternative Skype client for any platform. The Skype protocol has yet to be fully reverse engineered for compatibility with a replacement application. The protocol itself is proprietary and heavily encrypted and obfuscated. [00:16] twitch, haha. Just annoy him more ;) [00:16] :D [00:16] twitch, I was hoping to avoid the skype protocol, and use something much better, maybe open source. But as I said, there must be a windows client too. [00:16] ar0n: I have the flash plug in for Firefox on 64 bit [00:16] How to install kernel module iwl4965? [00:16] what is the service that gwibber uses for notification pop-ups? [00:16] ugh. [00:16] M-T: boot in recovery mode and type adduser admin [00:17] oh wait, i beleive ufc.com uses silverlight [00:17] what would be the best option for that [00:17] How do I boot in recovery mode? [00:17] ar)n: yes it does [00:17] I look at AppDB and my program isn't listed [00:17] M-T: Hold shift at boot to show grub boot menu, then select recovery mode to boot. [00:17] LittleRed, really? [00:18] I think something is wrong with the network setup of my system. route -n prints: Kernel IP routing table /newline/ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [00:18] This is not the system I am connected to the net with :| [00:18] knoppies: empathy for ubuntu and msn for windows .. they do video calling [00:18] M-T: when comp boot you will see grub entries with kernel names pick one witch have recovery mode in name [00:18] hmm do you have moonlight installed littlered? [00:18] ar0n: yes UFC uese silverlight... give me a sec and let me see what I used instead [00:18] M-T: boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [00:18] arbitrary, I love that you clarified that pre-emptively [00:18] Okay, I will try that when I am finished backing up a few things, but I'll bet I'm going to have a problem because my keyboard usually isn't active at boot [00:19] twitch, thats even worse. I think I will stick with googletalk. Thank you. [00:19] Heya [00:19] I have to unplug/replug it to activate it [00:19] does someone know how to remove gnome in ubuntu 10.04? [00:19] M-T: then do what usr13 adviced [00:19] !moonlight | ar0n [00:19] !kde | garme [00:19] ar0n: For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [00:19] garme: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [00:19] M-T: Then force a recordfail on the hard drive by powering off shortly after boot, then grub will load the menu. Though I'm not sure how you'll select the right option [00:19] LittleRed, moonlight is what i grabbed [00:20] anyone have any idea why my windows program running on ubuntu can't recognize my usb device? [00:20] what is the terminal hot key guys? [00:20] I really need to install iwl4965 [00:20] sn00pdigg, looked it up on AppDB yet? [00:20] yes [00:20] ar0n: I can't figure out what I used... I have a grip of plugins [00:20] its not listed [00:20] ar0n: What ever you want it to be.

[00:21] ar0n: yeah flash isn't the most stable of plugins [00:21] twitch: On ubuntu 10.04 iwl4965 was the default kernel module for my device. It worked fine. Now in 10.10, it is iwlagn, iwlagn crashes my kernel at boot. [00:21] i see this [00:21] Hi. How do I get a new IP address or renew it?

[00:35] yes [00:35] garme: of cource it does ;) [00:35] Guest4965: that only works when your timeout isn't set to zero and you actually *get* a grub menu. as ubuntu is the only OS installed, the timeout was automatically set to zero during install. [00:36] wow llittle red i guess two things maybe, perhaps moonlight slow or ufc is lagged to hell [00:36] however all else seems to work [00:36] ar0n: you a Faber fan?

[00:36] :D [00:36] when i suspejnd a job in the terminal using ctrl-z how do i kill it? i type jobs and see its job 1, then i try kill 1 and it says operation not permitted?? [00:37] Code_Bleu: I just tested it with one of my jpegs -- worked ok; is there something special about the jpg you are trying to convert? [00:37] viewer: Try "kill -9 1" [00:37] n4cht: Then why not kill the power during boot to record a boot fail, then get your grub menu that way [00:37] ar0n: the weigh in is still loading (ggrrrrr..hate waiting) Let me see if MMAjunkie has it [00:37] viewer: ps aux | grep then kill -9 [00:37] viewer, type %1 otherwise you're killing PID 1, which is probably not what you want... [00:37] sorry... kill -9 [00:38] n4cht: grep -i :P makes it easier [00:38] n4cht: hold down shift at boot [00:38] Code_Bleu: Can you load the image into GIMP or something similar? [00:38] rww: i'll give that a try. [00:38] viewer, or run top in terminal find the pid number of the app then sudo kill -9 pid [00:38] viewer: you can also do ' killall `pidof ` ' [00:38] viewer, so "kill %1" [00:38] ledbettj: it converts for me too, but if you right click and go to properties...then the image tab it says: Failed to load image information [00:39] ar0n: there is a silverlight plugin... give me a sec and I'll let you know if it works [00:39] Linux has issues with maintaining exif data with jpeg > tiff conversions. I know that. [00:39] ledbettj: ok, Gimp gives the same result...so that must be the norm...i guess. [00:39] rww: you're my hero. [00:40] rww: successful boot. :D [00:40] Guest4965: i have no ideas sry unless you backport a kernel [00:40] Code_Bleu: I see the same behavior. doesn't seem to affect the image, just the info in nautilus. [00:40] ledbettj, jamiewan, n4cht, Cronk, thanks but im trying to do it without top or going throught the PID as an exercise [00:40] ehw, when i try to designate its a job number with 5 it just lists the stopped job like when typing 'jobs' [00:41] ehw, designate with & (sorry) [00:41] viewer: nice. i only ever kill processes by PID myself. good luck though. :) [00:41] ar0n: it's loading [00:41] viewer: You can still use top to nab the pid though. [00:42] viewer, here's an example: "sleep 500 &" returns [1] 10847 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [00:42] yeah best way or try htop, gives u option to scroll to it and kill === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [00:42] ar0n: it's being an ass monkey [00:42] viewer, "jobs" shows "[1]+ Running sleep 500 &" [00:42] (OK, last time. I am guessing folks don't have an answer, but maybe...just maybe...the question is getting missed. I will stop spamming after this.) [00:42] did it make you buffer/load all of it? [00:42] I am having an issue with too many windows open causing the application widgets on the task bar to go kind of crazy. And the usage on two processes spike: Xorg and wnck-applet. (It only happens when you get 8 or more windows open.) [00:42] jamiewan: Agreed. htop is much better than regular top. [00:42] viewer "kill %1" kills #1: "[1]+ Terminated sleep 500" [00:42] ^ [00:43] p_res, yes and its colored in as well lol [00:43] ehw, i had to do kill -9 %1 thanks that did it [00:43] jamiewan: [00:43] viewer, ok; if it's hung the -9 might be necessary too [00:44] Using Kubuntu 10.4. In Software Management, if I search for "python" I get 1000 results. But "python-2.7" gets none. How can I search within results or otherwise find the exact name of the most recent python 2.x version? [00:44] ehw, i see, thanks [00:44] hey LittleRed did it make you load all of it [00:45] viewer, as an aside, "sudo kill -9 1" would terminate init (which is always PID 1), at which point hilarity ensues :-) [00:45] then play or did it buffer at all [00:45] I guess I should say I have python 2.6 and am trying to upgrade if that wasn't obvious. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:45] BentFranklin: 2.6 is the lastest for ubuntu i believe [00:45] ar0nic: looks like thats the only way... buffer is loading now, not streaming [00:45] ehw, :-) [00:45] twitch: So if 2.7 were ready it would be available as an upgrade...? [00:45] BentFranklin: there is no 2.7 package in the lucid repos, it wasn't added until 10.10 [00:46] BentFranklin: then you will have to download the source and compile it .. it's not hard [00:46] ehw, haha ok ill take your word for that one [00:47] jo [00:47] twitch: That would require me to level up in Linux. Maybe i'll try it. [00:47] Code_Bleu: you can convert it in gimp save as and then choose extension [00:47] I think I can type make install === chrisn is now known as chrisn2323 [00:48] BentFranklin: ./configure ; make ; sudo make altinstall [00:48] hi [00:48] i installed ubuntu server [00:48] and want to install samba [00:48] but when i do [00:48] BentFranklin: that will provide you with 2.6 and 2.7 [00:48] chrisn2323: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:48] sudo apt-get install samba [00:48] it tells me that the package is not available but is reffered etc... [00:48] i checked my repos and everything seems fine [00:49] is there anything i am missing ? [00:49] yeah the point of writing all in one line so not to flood lol [00:49] lol [00:49] apt-get install samba-common [00:50] chrisn2323: do you have universe repo [00:50] chrisn2323: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? if not, do that. [00:50] yes [00:50] i have universe [00:51] and i did update [00:51] !enter | chrisn2323 [00:51] chrisn2323: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:51] chrisn2323, restart??? [00:51] owait it is updating [00:51] chrisn2323: pastebin the output from sudo apt-get update and apt-cache policy samba, please. [00:51] how fast is sd memory card compared to a 5400 rpm hd? [00:51] hey every one [00:51] never mind then. [00:51] much faste [00:51] r [00:52] dougl, try ##hardware , thats offtopic here [00:52] how do you have a spilt screen? [00:52] OK, another unrelated question: when I shut down my Ubuntu 10.10, it causes a something to happen with the network router, causing another computer (windows) to have network disruption for 15 seconds or so. [00:52] ok its working now [00:53] Cronk, windows problem probably lol [00:53] bazhang, thanks :) [00:54] hehe Could be, but it doesn't happen when the laptop (the one w/ Ubuntu) is shutdown from Windows (it's dual boot). [00:54] how do you get spilt screen [00:55] Anyone know of an equalizer application? Rythm Box doesn't come with one... need to create presets for sound and movies [00:55] illmortal, Audacious is best for me, the eq settins stick unlike vlc [00:55] nice.. let me check it out :D [00:56] GUYS! got it to play... yeah buddy! === root is now known as Guest45032 [00:58] still working on getting my phone connected. will update with results once i figure something out [00:59] what is the switch command to DD copy from one drive to a new one with a larger parition [00:59] sn00pdigg, so nothing happens at all when you connect it? [00:59] anyone know if android sdk is included in ubuntu? [00:59] correct [01:00] just charges my phone... [01:00] does it show up in lsusb> [01:00] lsusb [01:00] jeeves_moss: No switch is needed. You just need to resize the partition/filesystem on the larger drive after copying. [01:00] but i'm working on having the drivers and being able to update it with the software correctly [01:00] brb [01:00] shows [01:00] it's listed [01:01] but the program doesn't recognize it [01:01] it's a windows program... [01:01] ok so the box picks it up but no gui interaction correct [01:01] that's the issue [01:01] yes [01:01] sn00pdigg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:01] so, is there really no good reciept scanning software for linux?? [01:01] that sounds correct [01:01] i'm going to install win 7 beside ubuntu [01:01] fuck win 7... just sayin [01:01] after that ubuntu wont'i nstall again is it right? [01:01] !language | sn00pdigg [01:01] sn00pdigg: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:01] sn00pdigg, no cursing [01:01] it's weird when you have a dual boot windows machine [01:02] can i use easybdc to restore ubuntu in the win 7 boot loader? [01:02] Im having a hard time thinking that im the only Linux user out there that would want to scan reciepts [01:02] the windows tries to take control... [01:02] fabio333, yep youll overwrite the mbr [01:02] there is definitely a way to do it but you have to fight it... [01:02] will win 7 boot loader start ubuntu? [01:02] !enter | sn00pdigg [01:02] sn00pdigg: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:02] fabio333, no [01:02] okay. i'm going back to trying my process jamiewan [01:02] hi. i am having trouble with connecting my Fritz!WLAN usb 2.4 n to my router. i get an ip via dhcp, but i cant ping any machines inside or outside my lan. iwlist wlan0 scan http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399997/, wpa_supplicant http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399998/ [01:02] omg. the bots in this chan hate me... [01:03] fabio333: No, you'll need to follow this guide to restore grub from a liveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [01:03] lol [01:03] sn00pdigg, no need for the excessive running commentary [01:03] sn00pdigg: maybe you should listen to them, then :\ [01:03] i dont want grub to show up it's ugly [01:03] why does not my internet work? cant even connect to any site? its just loading and loading :/ [01:04] fabio333, grub will boot win, but win won't boot nix afaik [01:04] el preciso [01:04] fabio333: grub is themeable, and at least IMHO Window's bootloader is just as ugly as grub is by default. [01:04] Code_Bleu: what do you mean by "receipts"? I fail do understand your problem. [01:04] http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu [01:04] Hello Gents. [01:05] win 7 boot loader: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/4837105077_f09ab4bb22_o.png [01:05] understood. [01:05] My boot loader is massive at the moment. [01:05] Due to a bug in Ubuntu 10.04+, the current steps are rather more convoluted than they used to be in previous versions, ... [01:06] can anyone tell me if android sdk is already on my ubuntu machine? or how would i load it? [01:06] 6 different boot options for Ubuntu, then mem test, then win7. [01:06] ok, if i restore grub... no need to add win 7 manually? [01:06] is ndiswrapper included in the default installation [01:07] Teggeh: you can use the computer janitor to remove old kernel versions, that will reduce the ubuntu-* entries. [01:07] fabio333: Just run "sudo update-grub" and an entry for Windows will be added automatically. [01:07] yep [01:07] fabio333, looks like that method actually slaves grub itself to the win bootloader, so, no, shouldn't have to i wouldn't think [01:07] Ampelbein: Excellent, thanks. [01:08] DaPenguin, i saw something on youtube where the win boot loader started grub... [01:08] Now to make my Ubuntu look pretty again. [01:09] fabio333: Grub with an Ubuntu theme: http://apebox.org/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/grubtheme/grubthemes-00000010.png [01:09] Nice === Guest69713 is now known as DarkDevil [01:09] Jordan_U, not bad [01:09] How do you theme grub? [01:09] fabio333, yeah, it looks possible. thought you were asking about having the win bootloader load the kernel directly === DarkDevil is now known as Guest26647 [01:10] hi guys, i've got a problem. it looks like i have multiple kernels installed on my system... 5 or 6 . how can i tell apt-get to uninstall all versions of kernel, except latest one ? [01:10] mbr -> win boot loader -> grub [01:10] hello [01:11] may i ask a question? [01:11] slipkid08: Download http://retro.apebox.org/grubthemes/directhex-grub-themes-00000010.tar.gz and read the README. [01:11] fabio333, yeah, that's def possible, a wubi install does that by default [01:12] how can i open an external hard drive from a terminal? i have ubuntu 10.04. [01:12] XATRIX, not to worry ive got lots as well but there is a way to limit the number of them, just cant remember yet [01:12] ok thank you [01:12] and what about the plymouth splash shoing up too late? [01:13] the windows 7 splash pops up very soon... or it's just an intel card present? [01:13] hellows: First figure out what the drive's device name is by looking at the output of "sudo blkid", then mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/" and it will be accessible via /mnt/. [01:13] hellows, have to mount it, then just browse to the mount point folder like any other one [01:14] it is allready mounted... i was looking something like start d: [01:14] in windows... [01:14] is there something like that? [01:14] XATRIX, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587462 [01:14] hellows: Your mounted drives are located in /media/x [01:14] hellows, nix actually doesn't use drive letters but puts everything under the root file system [01:15] windows 7 has a mount option [01:15] fabio333: We're not in here to discuss Windows. [01:16] p_res, u right [01:16] ubuntu is about what u can't do in windows [01:16] i agree [01:17] fabio333: No it is not what it's about. [01:17] linux is about freedom [01:17] It's simply an alternative and free and open source operating system that is based on the Linux kernel. [01:18] It has nothing to do with performing tasks that can't be done in Windows. [01:18] I have over a hundred gigs of space free on this partition, i'd like to take 60 gigs of it, and unpartition that space -- Is that possible? [01:18] you could resize the partition [01:19] Ben64: How would I do that? Sorry, new to partition re-sizing. [01:19] gparted should be able to do it [01:19] Ben64: Easily? With no hassle type of thing? [01:19] its a nice graphical tool [01:19] Valkyrie, gparted, same tool the installer uses, should be able to do it nondestructively [01:19] Is there an archive of older ubuntu images for same versions? I need an older 10.10 copy [01:19] DaPenguin: Does ubuntu come with it? [01:20] Guest4965: Ubuntu 10.10's ISO files haven't been changed since release. [01:20] dunno if gparted gets installed by default [01:20] Valkyrie, should, if not apt-get it [01:20] I'm apt-getting it [01:20] Run it as root, I take it? [01:20] rww: Thanks for that info [01:20] Valkyrie, gksudo gparted [01:20] You can also use the already install palimpsest. [01:21] installed [01:21] anybody know how to change system timezone (easily) in natty? I used to use the clock applet and the list of locations for that in the past - but it doesn't seem to work in the current alpha === Canon is now known as Acid190 [01:21] Problem -- That partition is my main partition [01:21] I can't do anything without unmounting it, can I? So, it'd be impossible to unmount while i'm using this computer. [01:21] why would you want to resize it by the way? [01:22] Valkerie: Try using a live cd [01:22] and you could do that with the bootable cd [01:22] Ben64: Need a small windows partition for school [01:22] Ugh, that means I have to burn a CD [01:22] =/ [01:22] use the ubuntu cd you used to install [01:22] Valkerie: Or use a usb key [01:22] or make a bootable falsh drive :) [01:22] Themes seem quite hard to install. Either that or I'm doing it wrong. [01:22] Valkyrie: Why is burning a cd so hard? [01:22] I've actually had problems with my usb drives as of currently. [01:23] if i want to open my allready mounted hard drive from the terminal whats the command? excuse me for repeating my self.... [01:23] Valkyrie: how did you install ubuntu [01:23] I get an odd message from dmesg when I plug them in -- And, they don't reckonize. [01:23] Ben64: Using a bootable flash drive [01:23] Valkyrie, just be careful, windows installs like to overwrite grub [01:23] oh [01:23] DaPenguin: Even XP? [01:23] yep [01:23] Guys... tnx for help.

[01:43] DaPenguin: It seems to be just that ONE USB stick [01:44] tried and failed and here I'm! [01:45] Yea, that ONE flash drive seems to not show up at all [01:45] What would cause that? [01:45] <_antant> fail [01:45] ashishsenapati, sound preferences, output tab headphones??? [01:45] jamiewan, not working [01:45] Valkyrie, it's just the one flash drive, others are working? [01:45] <_antant> Don't worry. I just had to pay £20 to get home. You're not as much of a fail as me [01:45] !ot [01:45] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:45] lol [01:46] Yes I do have an icon, it shows disconnected for two wired and one wireless networks, all in grey, plus options for VPN connections and connecting to hidden wireless networks, or creating new wireless networks [01:46] DaPenguin: Yea. [01:46] there's no checkbox for enabling or disabling wireless though [01:46] Just that ONE flashdrive isn't working. [01:46] When I go to Network Tools though, the wlan0 says multicast is enabled [01:46] Valkyrie, probably a broken drive then [01:46] I have a question for those wo used ubuntu 10.04 and swiched to 10.10: Did you have regressions, new problems, something like that? [01:46] DaPenguin: How does THAT happen? [01:46] Valkyrie, hardware goes bad sometimes. [01:47] Tsubasa, have you tried edit connections, the wireless set up [01:47] Yea, but goes bad sitting around? [01:47] How? [01:48] Oh, I see... right click *thwap head* [01:48] My wireless card doesn't work because the eeprom is too old, I got it from newegg.com, its an engineering sample (rebadged). Any hope? [01:48] Valkyrie, only thing i can think of [01:48] Shouldn't the network just show up though? [01:49] Tsubasa, right click on the icon, edit connections then the wireless tab and follow the info, i presume you have a home wireless setup running yes? [01:49] alsa, anyone?? [01:49] =/ Mm. [01:49] I set it up today.... only need it temporarily while we're painting the study, then we can go back to wired, but we DO need it [01:50] usb is fucked up on my machine or something. usb-creator-gtk sees my usb stick at /dev/scd1 [01:50] ashishsenapati, install gnome alsa mixer lots more controls to chek box there [01:50] But, trying to mount it, say's special devide /dev/sdc1 does not exist. [01:50] Valkyrie: I had some counterfit usb flash drives that I tried to recover what they really had and broke them with some windows utility, now it won't register, just to prove you can break them with software [01:50] Tsubasa, your desktop has wirless on it, or a usb antenna or something then === achilleas is now known as achillion [01:51] It had wireless built into the motherboard [01:51] evenin [01:51] Tsubasa, ok then you should be able to get it up with the previous step above then [01:52] But isn't it supposed to detect the network I set up, as long as it's not hidden (which it's not) [01:52] im having a jumpy mouse [01:52] anyone? [01:52] @jamiewan: done it, no option seems to be able to change things [01:53] Add new connection for the wireless has a mess of settings that I don [01:53] RussellAlan, touchpad or mouse? [01:53] t know how to configure [01:53] <_antant> white on rice [01:54] RussellAlan if it's an optical mouse, check if there's any dust on the light.... that was always happening to mine [01:54] ashishsenapati, well just persist with it cause sometimes for me sound is an issue but always fiddle about a bit and it seems to come right, just trial and error in some instances === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [01:56] Tsubasa, Longer ethernet cable will fix it lol [01:57] ewfoij [01:57] what the frack my byobu just froze [01:57] Aye, but it would be nice if I could get this working, seeing as I have the hardware [01:59] Tsubasa, just need to set it up mate, connect to new network then enter your details for ya wireless network and security stuff easy [02:00] is there a way to recover a deleted partition in ubuntu? [02:00] is altanative cd good, then you only gonna do CLI? [02:01] why aren't my .Xdefaults for xterm being read/honored? [02:01] this is really weird [02:01] .Xdefaults seems to work fine for other stuff, why not xterm? [02:01] all I have is a really really simple entry right now, just two lines [02:01] xterm*foreground: #ffffff [02:01] xterm*background: #000000 [02:01] RussellAlan, not sure but the program foremost is a great data recovery option, have seen it get stuff back thought gone forever [02:01] that's it, I've tried it as xterm.foreground and I've tried using xrdb -merge .Xdefaults [02:02] I am trying to get the package ms-sys but its not there anymore [02:02] but nothing changes, I still get a default white xterm [02:02] is it another package? [02:02] somebody? [02:03] gamemakingdude, i think it is available here http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/#Download [02:03] got it [02:04] Thanks [02:04] Cos i need to repair my brothers mbr [02:04] After i buggered it [02:04] jamiewan how do I know if it can even see the wireless router? [02:04] gamemakingdude, here is an explanation as to its removal from repository https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ms-sys/+question/28349 [02:04] Ubuntu bug 28349 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "bootclean.sh permissions are 0644 and should be 0755" [Medium,Invalid] [02:05] gamemakingdude, i would read that before installing just incase it causes issues [02:05] i dont have a windows 64 bit disk [02:05] Also what is make: msgfmt: Command not found [02:06] gamemakingdude, got me on that one ,,I would have to compile to find out [02:06] D: [02:06] my terminal is having a hard time finding adb shell [02:06] bash won't recognize the command [02:07] tried adding it to basrc and it doesn't seem to work even after a source... [02:07] sn00pdigg, maybe here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522827 [02:07] Okay, new question.... How can I tell whether my computer's wireless device is working/able to talk to the wireless router? [02:08] sn00pdigg, google with this search string ubuntu adb shell [02:08] msgfmt -o mo/sv.mo po/sv.po [02:08] Does that mean its compiled? [02:08] can i use the ubuntu cd to install ubuntu along with preloaded windows 7 safely or do i need some partition tool to first create the partitions/shrink window size? [02:09] gamemakingdude, not sure hold on [02:09] yes its made [02:09] ake: Nothing to be done for `all'. [02:09] I'm converting a Windows computer to Ubuntu. I can't seem to get the user's files archived. Permission problem. The user that I've logged on under is an administrator. [02:10] gamemakingdude, when you extract that file open a terminal and cd to its location [02:10] gamemakingdude, then cd ms-sys [02:10] gamemakingdude, then type make === Guest26647 is now known as DarkDevil [02:10] Its made [02:10] gamemakingdude, if that goes through without errors then type sudo make install [02:10] ook [02:10] its made [02:10] gamemakingdude, DO NOT get rid of that extracted intial folder === DarkDevil is now known as Guest55661 === gianni is now known as Guest18532 [02:11] gamemakingdude, if you have to uninstall it that source folder is going to be necessary [02:11] gamemakingdude, you would cd back into ms-sys and then sudo make uninstall [02:11] How can I tell whether my computer's wireless device is working/able to talk to the wireless router? [02:11] ok [02:12] im gonna reboot [02:12] brb [02:12] i have tried that search coz_ [02:12] tsimpson, open firefox and in the address bar 192.168.1.1 [02:12] thank you [02:12] none of those options seem to work [02:12] tsimpson, see what the settings are in the router [02:12] What is the speech-dispatcher process? [02:12] after sudo chmod +x adb it returns to the previous line with no results [02:12] sn00pdigg, darn ok then you might want to go to the ##linux channel to see if someone there may have more suggestions [02:12] What settings specifically am I looking for? [02:12] sn00pdigg, that was just to change permissions [02:13] i try to run adb and it still says command not recognized [02:13] i understand [02:13] sn00pdigg, there would be no readout after that command [02:13] i understand [02:13] sn00pdigg, ah ok...then again I suggest ##linux channel [02:13] but after successful completion of that command i should be able to type adb and run the shell right? [02:14] sn00pdigg, I believe so but not sure ,, I would still google to find anything that talks about installing or accessing on ubuntu [02:15] here's a question === administrator is now known as Guest6296 [02:15] after typing which adb it won't return anything. should i get results? [02:15] sn00pdigg, probably not if it didnt install [02:15] dont quote me on that [02:15] it's not installed... it's a package [02:16] tgz that contains an executable [02:16] unpacked and should be able to run from the folder... android sdk works and "installed" adb. can't run adb from terminal... [02:18] if i use rootstock on my 64 machine, the outputting image will also be x64 or will it be 32 bit ? can someone please tell me? [02:18] sn00pdigg, do you have an android device connected? [02:18] yes [02:18] adb devices returns [02:18] by 64 i meant amd64 [02:18] sn00pdigg, then I am puzzled ,, honestly I have no experience with this at all [02:18] "no such command" [02:18] thanks for helping though. i appreciate it [02:19] sn00pdigg, did you c heck in ##linux? [02:19] for some reason i can't type in there [02:19] lol [02:19] o0 [02:19] sn00pdigg, is you nick name registered? [02:19] nope. lol [02:20] sn00pdigg, that's probably why [02:20] ah. i see [02:20] sn00pdigg, register you nick and it should work [02:20] sucks [02:20] sn00pdigg, where you type here type /msg nicserv register help [02:20] i'll read up online before i register :D [02:20] sn00pdigg, ok good luck on this [02:20] thank you [02:20] somebody? [02:21] guys I have to break here,, hopefully I will be back in a bit [02:24] help pls, I've installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook in a VM, and lacked the drivers to start up Unity at the first start of the OS. Now I'm using the nromal GNome and I don't know how to make it go back to Unity, I've confirmed that Unity is installed, but I just don't know how to make it the UI. === darkwurm is now known as atyoung [02:26] sunnymolini: pretty sure Unity requires 3d acceleration, which you might not be able to get in a VM. Otherwise you should be able to choose it from the 'session' selector at the bottom of the GDM login screen. === trism_ is now known as trism [02:27] So, if it's possible, all I have to do is turn off autologin, and I'll be able to select it? [02:28] i have a question [02:28] sunnymolini: yup, I think so. [02:28] That's awesome, thanks ledbettj. [02:28] sunnymolini: once you select it once, it should ask you if you want to make it your default session [02:29] sunnymolini: then you could turn autologin back on. [02:29] how can i know that if my ubuntu 32-bit OS is secure from hacking? [02:30] D00x, If you're looking for metaphysical certitude, then the answer is you can't. === atyoung is now known as atyoung_ [02:31] sunnymolini , i dont understand you === atyoung_ is now known as atyoung [02:31] basically, no system can be made that can be absolutely hack proof. [02:32] everything has a weakness somewhere, and even if you make your data 100% inaccessible from even yourself, that doesn't mean somebody else can't get to it. [02:32] DOOX: a lot of it is common sense. don't use the autologin feature. disable any services that you don't need (telnet, ftp, etc) [02:32] sunnymolini , you are right , but what can i do to ensure that my system if 90 percent secure [02:32] DOOX: enforce strict passwords with aging [02:33] how do i install the java jdk? [02:33] its .bin [02:33] what do i do. [02:33] hi everyone, let's say i create a script to be run @ atartup using the add Startup Apps menu, my file has the 644 binary permissions set, should i set it to executable only for me or hte root too? [02:35] RussellAlan: you don't want to use the ones in the repositories? [02:35] RussellAlan: open and sun jdk's are availabel in the repos [02:37] gotcha [02:37] is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device? === lonelyibex is now known as fungo [02:40] it's Alive! built a new rig today(i7). and everything is working (the wireless card needed some convincing). So are there any important things I should do now before taking it out on the highway ? [02:40] [02:40] mine came with an i3 [02:42] is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device? [02:43] ok [02:43] I'm back on windows after fixing the mbr using mic-sys :D [02:44] ok how come Sun Java JRE is untrusted? [02:44] i have a quick question: how would i see who's connected to my LAN? [02:44] i'm hoping i don't have to nmap myself [02:45] type in 192.168.1.1 in your address bar and look at the IP list [02:45] that would give me my router [02:45] indeed [02:45] i'm talking about a lan network [02:45] which is your network [02:45] and i was hoping over bash [02:45] dude [02:45] the lan isn't connected via router [02:45] seriously? [02:45] does ark run in gnome? [02:45] yes, it is a hub [02:46] nmap could find out who is responding to pings, but people could block it [02:46] every IP through the hub will be given out by the router [02:46] now if it were a switch it would be different [02:46] but the router simply controls the hub [02:46] there should be a more efficient way to see who is connected via the hub [02:46] is there a command I can run from the command line that changes my volume? [02:46] this is fast and effeciant [02:46] endafy: its a switch on a router btw [02:46] how much simpler do you want it [02:47] Terminus_: just install nmap, you can find everyone that responds to ping [02:47] your router contains all ROUTING information [02:47] jlonganecker alsa? [02:47] endafy i'd have to log into it [02:47] everything on your network routed to the internet via the OS on the router whether you have extra ports added by a switch/hub/ring [02:47] Terminus_: try my suggestion :| [02:48] yes you do [02:48] log in and look not that hard [02:48] Ben64 will do; hopefully no one has discovered that they can drop pings [02:48] its protected information [02:48] Terminus_ ok I will check that out thanks [02:48] no problem [02:48] Terminus_: if people don't want to be found, they won't be. [02:48] would you want your routing table to be public information if you have an open wifi to be nice to people? [02:49] it would pose a huge security risk [02:49] endafy this is a remote network [02:49] sounds like you are leeching off of someone [02:49] you are the expert [02:50] I just know people [02:50] seriously why is Sun Java JRE untrusted? [02:50] it's not open source? [02:50] Ubuntu refuses to let me install it [02:50] flash is css [02:50] it installs fine [02:50] endafy: you're probably missing a repository key [02:51] yeah thats user friendly NOT [02:51] endafy: Try installing the package from the cli? [02:51] wtf is a repository key [02:51] endafy: I think there is an ubuntu version in the partner' repository. [02:51] sounds like something I shove up my bum when I am sick, man what naming [02:52] !language | endafy [02:52] endafy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:52] !java | endafy [02:52] endafy: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [02:52] I am watching my language I am angry because I have had several issues with Ubuntu [02:53] simple little things that are things users expect to do are blocked from me [02:53] things that used to be easy [02:53] endafy, If you don't like ubuntu (or linux) then don't use it) [02:53] endafy: Try reading the links ubottu gave [02:53] endafy: stop your whining and read what ubottu told you [02:53] need java, simply open the software thing look for it and click install [02:53] openjdk works fine btw [02:53] Hey guys - I aquired about a 10 year old PC today. P3, 833mhz, 512meg and ......... 2 SCSI hard drives. Installation locked up at 98%. Booted offa the live cd, went into preview mode, installed again; went fine. System never successfully boots into the desktop - either locks up immediately after o/s selection or gets to where i can see the background and locks up there. Any ideas? Does Ubuntu have issues with SCSI? [02:53] why do I need to open a terminal for something that used to be all gui? [02:53] 1 step this page is saying like 8 === maelstrom is now known as Guest65881 [02:55] A|i3N, Can you boot Ubuntu recovery mode? (is there failing hardware?) [02:55] I used to be able to pop a DVD in and click search and it would just play and now its broken, Java used to be available in synaptic but now its gone, really this is what I call backwards [02:55] I need GParted to ignore a corrupt superblock. [02:55] (oh and by the way before anyone says it, all fans are running normally lol. I used to fix this stuff. I'm thinking maybe memory issues but the O/S that was *ON* here was SUSE enterprise and it booted fine but came up to the menu that belonged to the restaurant that owned it) [02:55] endafy: read the link ubottu posted about java [02:55] actually no I haven't tried that [02:56] arbitrary: sounds like what you need is a new hdd [02:56] I did and I am not going to open the command prompt [02:56] soreau: I am WELL aware of this fact. [02:56] "For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the sun-java6 packages have been dropped from the Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. It is recommended that you use openjdk-6 instead." [02:56] I shouldnt have to for something that USED to be easy [02:56] "It is recommended that you use openjdk-6 instead." [02:56] endafy: then add the partner repo in Synaptic [02:56] So, edbian, if I can get it to boot in recovery mode.. will there be a log file or something telling me what's wrong? [02:56] openjdk doesnt work with everything [02:56] then read a little bit more and install sun [02:56] it's really not difficult [02:56] A|i3N, yes, you can use dmesg for example It's a good command for general issues. [02:56] endafy: then open Software sources, enable the partner repository and then search and install java from the package manager of your choice. [02:56] nickmoeck, yeah not happening idk how [02:57] The exact issue is I have a mostly complete copy of a dying hard disk, but I ran out of space in the destination partition, and GParted won't let me add more space because the filesystem is (obviously) corrupt, but fscking the filesystem will force a restart on recovering the data and the hard disk probably won't survive a second run through. [02:57] endafy: so, instead of actually trying to figure it out, you're going to come here and complain? [02:57] yea I'm really new at this linux thing edbian lol. Using it/installing software and stuff is one thing but troubleshooting this early is challenging lol. If I can get it to boot, I'll hop back on here from the computer after i get xchat on it [02:58] You've obviously done it before, if you installed Sun Java in previous Ubuntu releases [02:58] A|i3N, dmesg is just a command. Run it in the terminal. Look for errors (espcially near the end). The last 1/2 is the only 1/2 you need to read probably. [02:58] why does shit have to be difficult <- that right there is cussing and I am getting extremely pissed off at my desktop all of a sudden locking me out of shit I used to be able to accomplish with great ease and yes fix it or lose users, human beings dont give a rat's ass about shit like this, linux for humans indeed PUH, I should have bought a windows instead I bought a system 7 and now I am heavily regretting it [02:58] A|i3N, Do you know how to get to recovery mode? [02:59] Oh - one more thing - using a CDMA connection through metroPCS - anyone know how to maybe speed it up a little bit? I want to check to make sure compression is turned on but not sure where to look. Helped in windows. [02:59] Can someone please kick him? [02:59] edbian - isn't it on the initial boot menu? [02:59] Nobody? [02:59] is there a CLI command to log out of gnome ? [02:59] IdleOne: fail. [03:00] rww: indeed [03:00] one missing space did that [03:00] thiebaude: not sure, but killing X would knock you out of gnome [03:00] Hi. When trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 (and 9.10) on my laptop, all I get is black screen. Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 works fine. The problem might be the graphics card (Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)), but I haven't found any solutions dealing with this problem at install time. If this is the problem, is there a workaround? Thanks [03:00] trying to get back to a graphical log in [03:01] i'm having problems with mpc [03:01] t4s, Are you getting a black screen when booting the live CD? [03:01] USB, but yeah [03:01] t4s: you're trying to install -server from a USB drive? [03:02] yes [03:02] "MPD_HOST and/or MPD_PORT environment variables are not set. error: problems connecting to 'localhost' on port 6600: connection refused" [03:02] how can i get my panel back, is there a CLI command i can use? [03:02] top panel [03:02] thiebaude, gnome-panel& [03:02] !resetpanel | thiebaude [03:02] thiebaude: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:02] thiebaude, It's probably just easier to restart the machine [03:02] thanks guys i'll try that :) [03:02] thiebaude, or log / log out at least [03:03] try killall gnome-panel [03:03] t4s: did you follow the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller [03:03] edbian - if I get into recovery mode... it's not gonna be graphical is it lol [03:03] A|i3N, nope! [03:04] darn. Any way to launch the GUI from there edbian? [03:04] I just really don't know enough to do any good in there. [03:04] cool that works now i set my login not to automatic, appreciate it very much community :) [03:04] A|i3N, yep, it gives you choices. One is to drop to a root shell, that's cli. If you go that route you can start graphics by doing this: sudo gdm. However you are also given the choice to boot normally. It's a little menu [03:04] which one is better ubuntu or fedora? [03:04] btw im testing 11.04 [03:04] :) [03:05] A|i3N, It will be hard if you have to go back and forth between the machine and IRC [03:05] tanki: Well, considering that this is #ubuntu.... you're probably going to get "ubuntu" as a response from most people here [03:05] nickmoeck: No, I used unetbootin from my win7 laptop. I will try the guide. Thank you. [03:05] nickmoeck u mean i cant ask comparison questions here? [03:05] ooh ok cool, thank you. :) Yea I've only got one monitor and I use cell for an internet connection so I gotta d/c this computer and hook the other one back up. I'm pretty much just checking it out to make sure it's functional. [03:05] ! best | tanki: Also [03:05] tanki: Also: 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. [03:05] t4s: Yeah, use the guide. unetbootin does not work for server installs [03:06] Im looking for a battery monitor to replace gnome's, that must have a tray icon. ive tried batmon, battmon, any others to check out? [03:06] you can use a combination of usb creator and unetbootin [03:06] nickmoeck: didn't know, but glad I've learned. Thank you. :) [03:06] nickmoeck: u mean i cant ask comparision questions? [03:06] Has anyone ever had problems with their sound applets disappearing in Ubuntu? [03:06] Welp I'll be back, hopefully from the other computer. [03:06] tanki, You can. You'll just get biased answered [03:07] edbian ok [03:07] anyone wanna help me setup a routing bridge properly between two interfaces and then share the connection? I'm trying to setup a single master/node cluster with two intrepid machines and mpich, but I need to get this sorted first. I'm using wlan0 as my master's connection and want to bridge eth0 to that, and then connect the second computer (node) directly into the eth0 <> eth0 [03:07] edbian i am looking for easy one [03:07] hey - i doubt this is ubuntu related, but my internet is going down while torrenting. anyone have any ideas? [03:07] tanki, Ubuntu is easy as far as Linux goes [03:07] edbian u know easy to install and easy to use [03:07] doubt it's related, they'd either be blocked (torrent ports) or not. [03:07] especially install [03:08] i dont want it to corrupt my windows [03:08] jitit: try limiting your upload [03:08] is there a good program for capturing video from a usb device? [03:08] tanki, It will not if you install correctly [03:08] edbian: so ubuntu [03:08] yeah install the grub to the linux partition and then set it active instead of overwriting your mb [03:08] r [03:08] thanks [03:08] i will try ubuntu [03:09] mcurran, That is not right. Grub must overwrite the MBR in order to use it to choose which OS to boot. [03:09] tanki, have fun [03:09] trism: ive limited my upload/download speeds, AND kept my # of connected users down and it still drops. also, when i plug in an additional wireless NIC the internet begins to work again. [03:09] your wrong edbian [03:09] edbian: oh then it is not safe [03:09] you don't have to overwrite mbr at all [03:09] tanki, Ubuntu is safe. [03:09] robertzaccour: USB device? Webcam? [03:09] minimec, dazzle [03:10] edbian, if it overwrites mbr? then that will corrupt my other partitions [03:10] mcurran, the MBR currently has the windows bootloader in it. The windows bootloader only boots windows. If you install linux you must write in the HDDs mbr to boot it. [03:10] tanki, No it will not. [03:10] MBR = Master Boot Record [03:10] no your wrong you can chainload [03:10] tanki: Installing a different boot loader wont corrupt your partitions [03:10] jitit: that was my only idea, sorry [03:10] yeah, if you set the linux partition active, it'll read the grub as it's own bootloader. go read up on partitioning [03:11] edbian i use another loader === Guest55661 is now known as DarkDevil [03:11] The bootloader is actually to big to fit int he MBR. If you chainload then you tell Grub (in the MBR) to run the windows bootloader on the window partition. [03:11] acronis boot loader [03:11] tanki: Which one? [03:11] soreau: acronis boot loader [03:11] tanki: dual booting windows with another os can be dangerous. you first shrink your windiws partition, then install ubuntu, and then either replace grub the bootloader with windiws' one, or keep it [03:11] The windows boot loader cannot be used to dual boot. [03:11] your fuckin' wrong dude I'm doing it right now, always have, I know what i'm talking about === DarkDevil is now known as Guest83681 [03:11] mcurran, no cursing [03:11] and yes you can use the mbr to boot linux [03:12] mcurran, You use grub in the MBR to boot linux. You cannot use the windows bootloader in the MBR to boot linux. [03:12] what are some good command line music players? I have moc and mpd so far. I prefer mpd but it's recently brought up problems "connecting" to localhost. [03:12] you just copy the grub bootloader to an image and store it on C: and then have mbr load it [03:12] robertzaccour: vlc is probably your friend. --> see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biQ8FXxoXN8 [03:12] tanki: Well ubuntu installs grub and auto-detects other OS's and adds entries for them. Any other boot loader is beyond the scope of this channel, so you'd have to configure that to boot ubuntu if it supports it [03:12] edbian: the windows bootloader can be used to boot linux. [03:12] mcurran, The MBR does not load things. a boot loader in the MBR loads things. [03:12] edbian: or what if i use this install ubuntu then Acronis? do u have any idea on this [03:12] gerdidy, what?! [03:12] ntldr whatever === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth [03:12] mcurran, thats enough [03:12] you still don't know enough, go back to your windows cloud [03:12] tanki, Never heard of acronis [03:13] edbian: u have to try it is great [03:13] minimec, ok thanks [03:13] tanki, I'll look it up sometime [03:13] edbian: i use it for msdos and windows [03:13] gerdidy, Link? [03:13] well I get a little aggravated when people argue and submit false information [03:13] mcurran, move on please [03:13] edbian: i wont be googling today im afraid. [03:14] hello === Radios_ is now known as Radios === a is now known as Guest36537 [03:16] is there any plugin that will run pcsx in ascii art? [03:16] can anyone with a fresh install of ubuntu go to "appearances" and tell me what the defaults are? [03:16] Is it true that you can boot linux using the windows boot loader? [03:16] daweefolk, no [03:16] hi folks, i have a minor but annoying problem: the network connection icon in the top panel is all the way on the right side....how can i get back to the default position? it does NOT have a move option like the other icons. [03:16] (I messed mine up some time ago and I just want to get to the defaults) [03:16] ok [03:16] edbian, does not matter we support grub and grub2 here [03:17] yeah, you can have the windows boot loader chainload ubuntu [03:17] I've done it [03:17] mcurran, you've been asked to move on. please do so [03:17] google it, using "dd" and copying the boot loader to C: and then adding an entry to boot.ini [03:17] mcurran, I just found a blog describing it. I'm sorry I argued with you before. You're right. [03:18] edbian: grub can be installed to more places than just the mbr [03:18] gerdidy, Yes I know that. (it must be because it does not fit into the mbr) [03:18] cryptodira, to the right of it somewhere is a small bar or strip, thats what u have to move [03:18] no problem [03:18] cryptodira: Can you unlock it then move it? [03:18] I was just surprised that you could point the windows boot loader at anything but windows. [03:18] cryptodira, to the left sorry [03:20] jamiewan, got it .... my choice of appearances made that little bar nearly invisible.. Thank YOU. [03:20] if your using vista, there are gui's people created that simplify the process called easybcd [03:20] soreau, got it with jamiewan's suggestion. Thanks. [03:20] cryptodira, no worries [03:22] has anyone been able to make the backlit keyboard work beyond POST.... 10.04.2 amd/64 toshiba satellite laptop ?? [03:24] hey [03:25] equivocate, hello [03:25] i really need some help figuring out how to use netatalk [03:25] im trying to connect to my mac and ive tried forums but nothing seems to work [03:25] was wondering if anyone here can help me [03:26] I need some way to create a larger partition for this data. . . [03:27] arbitrary: why cant you create a larger partition? [03:27] arbitary: You can expand partitions (into free space) with GParted === ninline is now known as coldfire === citizen is now known as wbr-citizen [03:28] I have a partition being filled with data recovered from a dying hard disk, and I need to increase the size of the partition to finish recovering the data, but I can't increase the size as GParted won't assign any more space to it due to the bad superblock (caused by the recovered data). I can't fix the superblock without jeopardizing the integrity of the remaining recovered data. [03:28] can anyone help me with netatalk? [03:29] have you tried using fdisk's advanced options for repairing [03:29] is gparted showing it as black [03:29] arbitrary: How could the recovered data cause a bad superblock? === Axlin|AFK is now known as Axlin [03:30] terry: It was a bad superblock due to read errors on the drive, which since the read errors translate over to the new partition, it reads as a bad suerblock. [03:30] try force mounting the partition with ntfs3g if it's an ntfs partition, sometimes it stops it from complaining [03:30] whenever i hit meta+a my windows spread out over my screen like a mac's expose feature. i can't find that shortcut anywhere in the keyboard shortcuts tool. how can i make that stop? [03:31] arbitrary: I don't think so. [03:31] mcurran: It's not a matter of mounting it. I just want to increase the size of the (ext4) partition. [03:31] I know, sometimes it helps with gparted though, but only with ntfs [03:31] StrangeCharm, sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager you can change it in there [03:31] arbitrary: I think you just need a bigger drive [03:32] terry: Err. Yeah. That's kind-of the issue. I have another 800gb on the drive that it can't access. [03:32] try fdisk other than that, i don't know. [03:32] good evening [03:32] edbian, it's installed, where is that setting? [03:32] arbitrary: Why can't you access the 800G drive? [03:32] can anyone please help me with netatalk? [03:32] Okay, bad choice of words. === sheshark is now known as guest [03:32] StrangeCharm, go to System -> Preferences -> ccsm the plugin is called scale I believe [03:33] !anyone | equivocate [03:33] equivocate: 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. [03:33] hola a todos!! por casualidad alguien sabe espanol? [03:33] terry: I have two partitions on the recovery drive. One partition (800gb) is devoted to nothing in particular. Just storage. The other partition (200gb) is devoted to storing the filesystem recovered from a dying hard disk. [03:33] !es | ubuntu_ [03:33] ubuntu_: 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. [03:34] I need to assign some of the data to partition 2 because the actual size of the recovered data is about 252GB [03:34] edbian, thanks so much, that was bugging me a lot [03:34] gracias [03:34] So why not use the 800G partition? Delete everything on it and use it. [03:34] StrangeCharm, no problem [03:34] !details [03:34] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:34] anyone know how I can bridge wlan0 (connected) to eth0 and then share eth0 by directly connecting it to another workstation's eth0 [03:34] I'm trying to setup a small beowulf cluster, but need to solve this first [03:34] terry: I really don't want to do that, because I want the larger partition to be able to extract data from the recovery partition. It might be possible to store an image of the one partition on the other one, clean the small partition, add more data, write the image, then continue? [03:35] edbian: Welp no such luck on that endeavor. Still locking up at some point. I know that linux will check my memory - anybody know of a free utility I can make a boot cd with that'll check the hard drives and processor and find out what's ailing the computer in question?? [03:35] eae galera [03:35] Como vão? [03:35] !firestarter | mcurran [03:35] mcurran: 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. [03:35] A|i3N, Were you able to get the grub menu to show up at all? [03:35] !snort | the67pc [03:36] I have a problem with getting netatalk to work with my mac. I have tried to follow certain walkthroughs but they are dated and ive read there are problems with lucid. I don't understand some of the fixes ive read on websites. [03:36] edbian - once out of three boots. Each time it would lock up after all the text stuff flew by the screen. I went to fail safe graphical. Locked up when it started to load. [03:36] !snort | the67pc [03:36] mcurran: Or you can just grab a firewall script and customize it to your needs. [03:36] A|i3N, Get a live Cd. Use the memory checker on that. Then check the hDDs [03:37] A|i3N, Be aware that if you don't get errors within the first minute of ram checking you probably won't get errors at all. === vlaad is now known as bill-d [03:37] edbian - ok. I've got the memory check in the boot menu. I actually did run it for about 5 minutes earlier and no errors. [03:37] So how do I check the hard drives with linux? [03:37] evening ubuntu [03:37] A|i3N, boot a live Cd. use gparted. it has a check utility [03:38] A|i3N, It's only useful for checking extX partitions though [03:38] fdisk [03:38] m [03:38] or fdisk at command line [03:38] would it be possible to have someone go through something on a forum with me so i can do it myself in console? [03:38] anyone know of a application similar to synergy that lets u use 1 keyboard and mouse and move to any desktop on any computer just by moving mouse the end of monitor view? [03:39] dave_cave10-10, Why not use synergy? [03:39] edbian: is it linux supported? [03:39] edbian - I'm using 10.04, gparted isn't included with this release. I had to add it on my previous wubi install before i installed to hard drive. [03:39] dave_cave10-10, yeah [03:39] you can move to virtual desktops, but you'd have to setup remote solutions for other machines [03:39] A|i3N, it's on the live CD [03:39] ooooh ok but not included in the install... lol [03:39] A|i3N, yeah [03:40] edbian: what about "input director"? [03:40] mcurran: Something like this: http://pastebin.com/vqS6qtpY [03:40] edbian: yea... hmmm.. the live cd *Does* boot up if that tells us anything. [03:40] dave_cave10-10, never heard of it === Axlin is now known as Axlin|AFK [03:40] Hello I have a problem, I check in the properties of one panel the choise hide panel, and Now cant show it :S:S [03:40] A|i3N, It's a good but confusing sign. [03:40] yeah you can use the mouse wheel or any other key you assign for compiz' rotate cube or other workstation/desktop plugins [03:40] that's why I asked originally if ubuntu has an issue with SCSI drives. [03:40] uhmmm, the grub's config file isn't located in /boot/grub??? where is it? [03:40] * equivocate needs a wizz at ubuntu as im desperate for some walkthrough help! [03:41] A|i3N, If it did the live CD AND the full install wouldn't work equally [03:41] edbian: its same thing as synergy but doesnt messup games, if u play a game with synergy on, and u click the mouse the game screen starts turning super fast and crazy [03:41] the new grub is /boot/grub/grub/grub.cfg isn't it? I grub2 doesn't use menu.lst [03:41] edbian: yea - the install was successful once i booted live, but failed the first time just trying to install it. [03:41] mcurran: yeah, you're correct [03:42] A|i3N, strange. Check the hdds is my only guess [03:42] could someone help me? my computer shutdown because it overheated and now it only goes to the ubuntu boot screen and stops there [03:42] A|i3n: ive found that booting from a USB drive works where booting from a DVD didnt [03:42] edbian: wonder if i should move the scsi controller and hard drives to this computer and try to boot it lol that would eliminate any other hardware issues lol [03:43] aliciapg, It's probably still overheating. Are the fans spinning? [03:43] A|i3N, sure. Good idea [03:43] edbian: no i let it cool down [03:44] edbian: it usually skips the screen to select what kernal but now it isn't [03:44] edbian, if I end up doing that as a last resort, linux doesn't freak out on hardware changes like windows does right? [03:44] aliciapg, does it freeze? [03:44] A|i3N, correct [03:44] join #limesurvey [03:44] Ubuntu 10.4 install with home on separate partition, can I just blow away the install partition and reinstall, I dont want to go through backing up all of the home folder, nouveau keeps crashing, cannot install nvidia drivers, I am thinking it's just quicker to reinstall than to trouble shoot. I haven't done this before. [03:44] ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534378 <--- can someone help me with this please? [03:44] ok. I'd be going from 10 year old technology to something in the last couple years lol [03:45] edbian: i select a kernal, it does that boot screen where you just see the ubuntu logo, then goes black with the backlight on [03:45] i have the same problem but I don't undestand how to fix [03:45] razz1, yes. [03:45] ok well off to drive a live boot and run gparted. Thanks again edbian :) [03:45] edbian: how do you keep up lol [03:45] aliciapg, What about other kernels? [03:45] er try [03:45] A|i3N, good luck [03:45] edbian: i've tried two so far...should i try others? [03:45] naryfa, I read quickly :) [03:45] aliciapg, Recovery mode? [03:45] how do i get ubuntu to not block the download of .msi files? [03:46] any of you guys experience your wifi adapter being locked to a certain channel in monitor mode on kernel 2.6.35? [03:46] edbian: okay i'll try that too [03:46] mine will say mon0 fixed on channel -1 [03:46] captain-obvious, why would you need them [03:46] to install steam [03:46] steam uses .msi not .exe [03:46] u need wine [03:46] i have wine [03:47] i can't download .msi files at all [03:47] hope i can get this working though - this looks like some highly specialized server-type computer. Got a motherboard, a daughterboard with pci risers, a power plug for the hard drives only, a quick disco power supply.. lol it's pretty neat. [03:47] it says that they are blocked [03:47] Alright. I installed windows -- But, I have a couple issues [03:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534378 <--- can someone help me with this please? I don't understant the fix [03:47] edbian: well now what :/ it worked but i don't know what to do with the shell [03:47] captain-obvious: What says they're blocked? [03:47] ubuntu [03:47] Valkyrie, related to ubuntu? [03:47] aliciapg, sudo gdm [03:47] It can't boot grub -- Figured as much, and I can't re-activate the partitions because obviously Windows can't rechonize the format [03:47] captain-obvious: Ubuntu is an operating system. What program informed you of it being blocked? Firefox? wget? ftp? [03:47] Which, again, I figured. [03:48] the file"steaminstall.msi" is not marked as an executable. if this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run" [03:48] So, how would I go about fixing this? [03:48] edbian: i don't think it's a normal shell... [03:48] that's what it says when i try to run a .msi file [03:48] can anyone tell me why the asus g73sw laptop keyboard functions aren't supported or possibly how i can get them to work properly? [03:48] captain-obvious: which browser are you using? [03:48] captain-obvious: right click - properties - execution, mark as executable [03:48] wow, tyvm [03:48] captain-obvious: It tells you the problem right in the error. It's not executable. do what Valkyrie said. [03:48] haven't used netatalk but the solution is changing the configuration and then restarting the daemon [03:48] captain-obvious, It was downloaded. it won't let you run it until you change permissions. (this is easy) [03:48] i got it, thanks everyone who tried to help :D [03:49] why won't anyone help me! im getting desperate :( [03:49] Okay, but. How do I get grub back? [03:49] =/ [03:49] edbian: ok so I just install "/" and ignore home? whats the process and what is the best way to get the program settings back to the way they are. Like firefox (I have close to 7 profiles), Zimbra (its installed in the home folder), What issues will I come across? I have a back up of the "/" partition and home as well. Should I first uninstall Zimbra? [03:49] edbian: it has "(initramfs)" as the prompt [03:49] equivocate, We just don't know how. [03:50] aliciapg, That's not a full boot. Did you get any errors? shift + page up to scroll back and look for some. [03:50] oh even with the link ive offered? [03:50] as im sure thats the fix [03:50] That's why I always choose to install one system per hard drive. [03:50] equivocate what's your problem in following the solution [03:50] but no idea how to do it as he hasnt given the code [03:50] razz1, The process is to choose manual partitioning in the installer. The program settings are all saved in your home folder. [03:51] to change the file [03:51] edbian: yeah it has quite a few... [03:51] only how to reset netatalk [03:51] aliciapg, Like what? What's the first one? The last one? The one that seems most important to you? [03:51] to restart you would run /etc/init.d/netatalk restart [03:52] sudo [03:52] yea i can do that but the forum solver says you need to change he netatalk file [03:52] i just dont know how to change it how he says to [03:53] edbian: if failed to mount things like /sys on /root/sys, /dev on /root/dev, /proc on /root/proc === Eddie is now known as Guest42913 [03:54] aliciapg, That's important errors but not the cause. That's the effect of something. Look earlier. Something is going wrong so that they cannot be mounted. [03:54] cannot be mounted? [03:54] edbian: Thats what I mean, when I reinstall just /, It will not have any programs, but their settings will remain in my home folder, when I install the programs again what will happen to all those .rc files, will they re-associate with the programs. I also have SSH server config, with pub keys in home folder, I am trying to get the config back to the way it was. [03:55] anyone help me with the configuration of synergy for ubuntu? [03:55] edbian: JBD: failed to read block at offset some number? [03:55] razz1, They will re-associate [03:55] razz1, If you do things correctly the ssh keys will remain in your home folder :) [03:56] yes, if you overwrite the new ones after the install [03:56] so if you reinstall the programs, you need to overwrite the new configuration files with the old one [03:56] dave_cave10-10: maybe this will help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto [03:56] Hello, I'm installing ubuntu server 10.10 and when I get to the disck config and the iscsi I get this error = No iscsi targets where discovered 0n xxxxxx:3260, what can I do? [03:56] robdig: thanks ill check it out [03:56] in console, how do i view the permissions of a given directory? [03:56] I really need help on this [03:57] aliciapg, That's caused my hdd errors. You can try using a live CD to try to fix the partitions using fdisk or gparted. [03:57] edugonch: provide drivers for your iscsi controller, probably. Also, #ubuntu-server [03:57] thanks [03:57] oneliner: ls -ld [03:57] robdig: thanks [03:57] anyone know where i can find help for getting drivers for an asus g73sw? [03:58] how to find total drive size from the terminal? [03:58] edbian: D: will i lose data? [03:58] hey all, when i hooked my laptop to my tv to use it as a monitor for some reason my x org conf file was over written, i am stuck at very low res for both my monitor and tv, and suggestions? [03:58] aliciapg, Possibly. I'm not experienced with this very much. You should google that error (the JBD one) and learn about it. [03:58] i am running 10.04 on a macbook pro 2,2 [03:59] owen1: sudo lshw -C disk [03:59] edbian: alright thanks, i'll try that [03:59] robdig: thanks [03:59] mcurran: Ok thats what I was getting at, ok I have all the backups that shouldn't be an issue. Love backintime. I will just replace the config files in the /etc/ssh folder [04:00] haven't tried with ssh configuration rsa's, not sure if it'll be simple with that, but typically that's what you would do [04:03] hello? [04:03] !hello | djindy [04:03] mcurran: not a big deal setting up new keys, but it saves me lot of time if it's just to just replace the new files with old ones. [04:04] mcurran: edbian: thanks for the help. [04:04] how can I make it so that the buttons are in the upper left corner instead of the upper right [04:04] ah hi, I'm trying to run a sh file, but I keep getting "permission denied", even with sudo, even as root, even after I've chown the whole partition. [04:04] Semitones, use the default theme? [04:04] djindy, whats the file [04:04] hon.sh, a game file [04:05] bazhang, i thought I was doing that -- oh wait a sec [04:05] djindy, heroes of newerth? [04:05] djindy: sudo chmod +x hon.sh [04:05] yes [04:05] bazhang, this is bamboo zen i thought i had radiance [04:05] razz1, no problem [04:06] when running php does it spawn processes under the same user as nginx? [04:06] djindy: Google "linux permissions" and wash that down with a tall glass of the chmod manual. [04:06] Tohuw, still giving me permission denied [04:07] hey all, when i hooked my laptop to my tv to use it as a monitor for some reason my x org conf file was over written, i am stuck at very low res for both my monitor and tv, and suggestions? [04:07] djindy: what, specifically, is it trying to do when you receive permission denied? does the script have a switch for verbose reporting? failing that, is there anything in dmesg? [04:07] bazhang, i changed it back in gconf problem solved [04:08] I just installed 10.10. Whenever I boot my wlan is down and I have to issue a rfkill unblock command. How do I set this automatically? [04:08] Tuhow, ok, I'll look around some more at permissions, though this is strange as I was able to use this file before. What's changed is a reinstalled Ubuntu on a different partition, but I've done that previously and this was able to still work...

[04:14] ar0nic: /var/log/syslog [04:14] bazhang: so that those students who are to use a cewrtain version should only install it on their PC.

[04:20] what does the 'backup' or 'operator' user have privilege to do? [04:20] djindy: Clearly, something is borked. If your permissions are not changing when you tell them to, something is wrong. Are you sure sudo actions are successful at all (try sudo apt-get update) [04:20] can someone help me? none of my usb ports work and lsusb returns nothing [04:20] l1nuxman, ask a clearer question please [04:20] I love apt-get install. So much better than a GUI interface [04:20] Tohuw, update worked, and I've used sudo on other commands as well, though something could still be screwed up since I reinstalled. [04:20] my USB ports work in win7 though/ [04:21] djindy: for giggles, try sudo chmod 777 hon.sh and then ls -l to see if it changed to -rwxrwxrwx [04:21] kj [04:21] Try updating your USB drivers [04:22] Tohuw, nope, no changes [04:22] where do i get them? I have a dell studio 1536. [04:22] djindy: if they don't change, try touch test && sudo chmod +x test and ls -l it.

[04:23] it came to my mind after the kernel update [04:23] showing up the same thing on test, except 444 has changed to 0 [04:23] now it wont even show up in network manager [04:23] ruan: yes. [04:23] ah :D [04:23] i think the driver was faulty [04:23] Any good faqs on theming grub [04:23] ? [04:23] there is a guide [04:24] i'm in no rush but took a pill that will make me drowsy and i need wirekless for tommorow [04:24] has anyone ever had vlc crash on them when loading streams [04:24] Tohuw, test shows same result as hon.sh, except 444 has changed to 0 [04:25] djindy: something is wrong with your system. Does chmod with no arguments output the basic usage? [04:25] l1nuxman: if you're talking about the default groups, backup allows non-root users in the backup group to back up the system and operator allows non-root users to execute commands in the operator group. operator group is tied to op command too. [04:25] Tohuw, tells me missing operand Try 'chmod --help' for more information [04:25] djindy: or rather, does it say, missing operand [04:26] ok [04:26] robdig, how can I find out what specifically the operators group can do? [04:26] I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password [04:26] I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password [04:26] psimmen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] l1nuxman: i would think that those groups would only be used in commercial areas.. [04:26] psimmen, once is enough, be patient [04:26] l1nuxman: do man op [04:27] it was a mistake! [04:27] robdig, theres no man page [04:27] l1nuxman: ok not installed by default. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/op.1.html [04:27] somehow it finds my background image but it doesnt use it [04:28] http://tinyurl.com/4w85p2x this exact same thing happens to me, can someone help? [04:28] djindy: are you able to chmod files in a different dir? [04:28] I can't get java 6.24 working on ubuntu 10.10. Am needing it to play games on pogo [04:29] Nocturnal: have you tried both sun java and openjdk? [04:29] Tohuw, yes, though it is looking like I cannot chmod anything on that partition. [04:29] djindy: ah! now we are getting somewhere. That partition, what filesystem is it? [04:30] I have tryed sun java, useing there step by step guide. I have not tryed open jdk. [04:30] I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password [04:30] Tohuw, give me a sec, its an old one, but it should be either ntfs or ext3 [04:30] psimmen: Are you using the right encryption protocol? [04:31] Tohuw, its ntfs [04:31] i cant even choose to use wireless because there is no driver installed and i downt know how to do that without instructions like before [04:32] djindy: ntfs has no native support for linux file permissions. Hence your problem. See: http://b.andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/permissions.html [04:32] ruan: I looked in the installed software, it says open jdk is installed, but its not working [04:32] Tohuw, alright, though I was able to use these files before from this partition... [04:33] djindy: I don't recommend using ntfs for anything except keeping a windows operating system on it. [04:33] Polah: I cant choose to use wireless [04:33] djindy: your fstab may have changed. You can allow execution or disallow it. man fstab [04:33] Tohuw, I don't usually put ntfs on anything, but I've had this parititon for a long time, since I started using linux and was dual booting, and it is mostly bulk data which I don't have a backup drive to move stuff on, hence still ntfs. [04:34] erbolt [04:34] Tohuw, I'll try that then, thank you [04:34] djindy: fair enough :) Just remember that permissions get borked on filesystems that don't support them natively. [04:35] Tohuw, thank you for your help. [04:35] np [04:35] like I want to give a user privileges such as to view /var/log/messages and the basic necessaties . Isn't there an easier way that to manually configure sudo? Maybe a predefined group for it [04:35] Polah: I cant choose to use wireless [04:36] anyone know where I can get help with partedmagic? [04:37] I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password [04:37] arkanabar, try asking here, gparted may be what you'd like though [04:37] Nocturnal: openjdk-jre?

[04:43] yes [04:43] Nocturnal: does it give an error if you try to remove openjdk? [04:43] so how can I find out for example what group "adm" has privileges to? It must be specified in some file. Anyone know? [04:43] how can I script rhythmbox to show the radio stations on startup rather than my music library? [04:43] I am having problems getting my wireless internet card to work it uses the rt3090 or rt5090 driver...i got it to atleast recognize the network but it would not accept the password [04:44] nope, it just shows up on the installed software list after I exit the software center [04:44] Nocturnal: click apply when you mark it for uninstallation [04:45] Anyone had any issues with flash crashing if more than one flash is running at a time?

[05:04] using nautilus that is. [05:05] I have 180 or so files that I'm moving and I already have a folder structure with each of that type of file in their own folder, so other filetypes associated with that specific file can be organized with them.

I have to use the keyboard and can't even get on the internet with the thing to try to work it out in real time [05:49] how can one download a number of .deb fiels ? [05:49] and the apache2 package depends on apache2.2-common... [05:49] iiicyg, if I install apache2.2-comon it install another Apache server alongside with the one that I already installed using apt-get install apache2 [05:49] okay [05:49] Hey guys, i have an old machine running without Xwindows, and It obtaining an IP from DHCP. I want to manually pick one that it will use each time it boots up. What file do I need to edit? [05:49] A|i3N, you can startup aplications with alt+f2? [05:49] iiicyg, failsafe mode works but again.. no inet to try and fix it on here so I need to know what to try on a fresh install. I'm new to this. [05:50] yes, I can [05:50] i tried /etc/network/interfaces but doesnt look right [05:51] can someone tell me how to list the active block devices on the system? [05:51] !deb [05:51] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.

I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on my old P4 desktop with 256MB of ram [05:52] still.... unforetunaltly [05:52] !ask | sony` [05:52] sony`: 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. :-) [05:52] i have the live cd, i have verified the contents, but it always hangs and stops working when i try to install the OS to my machine [05:52] ejv i'm getting to it :P [05:53] sony`: you could try the alternative cd [05:53] !alternative [05:53] so i see Try ubuntu / Install Ubuntu, going to click on "Install Ubuntu" for the 2nd time [05:53] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [05:53] iiicyg yes, I can and it is an older system, bout 10 years. I would think ubuntu would have no issues but it's a server type machine. I'm lost lol i dunno what to try. I don't know enough to function without the full menu bar up top :) [05:54] bah lol need to burn another cd :< [05:54] !usb [05:54] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:54] sony`: you can use a usb flash drive ^ [05:54] i wouldn't rule out the possibility of a bad disk, bad controller, bad cable, etc. [05:54] it's rather ambiguous [05:55] ruan system is really really old, doesn't support boot from USB [05:55] I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon XPress 200M video card. Default video driver makes games flicker and Neverball does very interesting things. With official fglrx driver games don't even try to run. Also with the official driver ATI's Catalyst Control Center says something about there is no ATI driver present for it to control. [05:55] I've googled extensively... what am I missing here? [05:55] Hello! I have a strange problem with a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu 10.10 - at times, Ubuntu will not recognize any of my mouse clicks. [05:56] I can still select things through keyboard control, but the mouse clicking fails to function at all [05:56] ejv i ran the cd verifier [05:56] If it helps, I'm using a Logitech wireless mouse [05:56] Thanks! [05:57] what does "at times" mean JChan [05:57] hmm. i wonder if net install fits on a floppy [05:57] djancak: Randomly [05:57] JChan: so it never boots up and just completely stops working? [05:57] OK I found a fix for my problem with no desktop - CAn SOMEONE tell me how to connect to my CDMA connection without a menu bar?!?!? [05:57] djancak: I've not had that happen yet [05:57] JChan: are you using an optical mouse? if yes, make sure that the surface under the mouse is clean as it can sometimes cause problems [05:57] for the first 30 seconds or so, everything seems to be fine [05:58] I have NO idea what to type in the terminal [05:58] rigved: That's certainly not the case, but thanks :) [05:58] JChan: how frequently does it occur? [05:58] djancak: Very often. : [05:58] JChan: tried a hard-wired mouse yet? [05:58] JChan: or try that mouse on another comp? [05:58] djancak: Yep. After I plug in a hard-wired mouse, the mouse works for a little bit then starts failing to click just as the previous mouse. [05:59] It doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired, they all seem to stop working shortly :( [05:59] JChan: interesting problem. unfortunately i don't know diddley about ubuntu [05:59] Thank you for the help nobody. [05:59] djancak: Thanks for trying to help anyways! :D [05:59] * djancak still on XP... sadly... [06:01] Which is the command for copying files using terminal? [06:01] Aquaguy, cp [06:01] thank you [06:01] no problem [06:02] file operations in terminal are abbreivated. eg. rm, cp, mv [06:04] running 10.10, enabled the nvidia drivers, and boom, xorg dies as soon as i log in. did some quick searches and only seeming to find recent problems with multiple monitors. this is just a single laptop monitor. any ideas?

I can see that ubuntu website suggests that the "recommended" ver is the 32bit. What is the reason of 32bit suggested as the recommende ver? I am on a intel Quad [08:14] 9550 which is clearly a 64bit CPU. I remember that ther was a difference in speed between 32 and 64bit ver . What would you propose? 32bit or 64 bit? === Guest82397 is now known as DarkDevil [08:14] 64 bit its all moving that way [08:15] Starminn: it's more than themes, things like building with libcairo flags enhances Firefox a lot. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest81850 [08:15] naftilos76: The "recommended" is just because the 32-bit ISO works on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, whereas 64-bit only works on 64-bit systems. [08:15] best not to oversarutate with too many options [08:15] For normal desktop usage, there is no appreciable difference between the two. === tedy is now known as mo_bledhoz [08:15] mr0wl: Well I don't know, man.

[10:49] robbiethe1st: everything is off, except for master and line and still there is noice [10:49] Well, looks like you [10:50] You're getting noise in on line? [10:50] adjust the line control, see what happens? [10:50] Hi, I have installed the kernel with the CK patchset, but when X doesn't start when I boot. I only get a black screen. (https://launchpad.net/~chogydan/+archive/ppa) [10:50] FSX, ATI or Nvidia? [10:50] robbiethe1st: ATI, Fglrx. [10:51] Thought so. You need to re-install the driver's kernel module. How to do that... Um.,. [10:51] Hello, I wanted to know if I could get some guidance on setting up a VPN [10:52] !vpn [10:52] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [10:52] FSX: should be able to use the package manager for that [10:52] whats the best way to get the size of a file ? is it possible with ls ? [10:52] fulldaykg: Do I need to be booted into the CK kernel or the normal kernel? [10:52] robbiethe1st: tried....still the same...it only increases the volume as i go up from 0, then suddenly no sound at 52 and then as i move even high, it starts increasing again [10:52] dr0idL ls works: ls -al [10:52] Thanks! [10:53] fulldaykg: that gives me a lot of info, i dunno which one is the file size exactly [10:53] robbiethe1st: it works.....thanks a lot [10:53] dr0id, ls -alh [10:53] dr0id: the one right before the date [10:53] jayant: Heh/ Probably your input was odd? [10:53] robbiethe1st:sorry my problem...the cable was a bit loose from my pedal :( [10:53] that is 76 :D [10:54] maybe it is kb ? heh [10:54] ls -alh will also show 76 but not 76K [10:54] Thought so when you mentioned noise [10:54] should be bytes [10:54] aah yes, should be bytes, thanks :) [10:54] robbiethe1st: thanks a lot...can i change the line volume from some other place besides terminal [10:54] dr0id, I use du -sh file/folder [10:55] file/folder means you can pass a folder or a file as parameter [10:55] razieliyo: wow, that says 4.0K [10:55] driod: run "echo test > test" the ls -al, the new file test should be 5 bytes [10:55] the=then [10:55] dr0id, maybe it's a void folder [10:55] jayant: Um, probably - go google for a volume-applet; there's several out there [10:55] nah, its a file [10:55] du -sh hello_world.sh [10:55] I just use the cmd-line alsamixer cause it's easy to use [10:56] dr0id, listel fulldaykg [10:56] listen* [10:56] ? [10:56] droid, plus a hello_world app sounds like it would be like 76 bytes [10:56] yup, should be 76bytes :) [10:56] robbiethe1st: ok...thanks a lot for all your help [10:57] razieliyo@blackjack:~$ touch myfile [10:57] razieliyo@blackjack:~$ du -sh myfile [10:57] 0 myfile [10:57] robbiethe1st, fulldaykg: When I reinstall Fglrx it only builds for the generic kernel. And got for generic-ck. [10:57] jayant: If you want to, you can create a desktop shortcut to "gnome-terminal -e alasmixer" which should launch it for you [10:58] FSX: Are you reinstalling from the other kernel, or from the "problem" kernel [10:58] jayant, or you could install alsamixergui if you're on X [10:58] FSX: you've got to reinstall it command-line I think, and you -have- to do it from the kernel you want to work [10:58] robbiethe1st: THe default one. [10:58] FSX: hmmm, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu... you may have to compile fglrx against the ck source to get it working [10:59] robbiethe1st: this desktop shortcut is cool....btw what's X ?? [10:59] robbiethe1st: Ok. I'll try that. [10:59] jayant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System It's what underlies all your graphics stuff [10:59] jayant, I mean graphic engine like icewm, gnome, kde and so on [10:59] FSX: I agree with robbie, you need that kernel's source to compile against, probably gonna have to be manual [11:00] hi, How would I set permissions for a cifs share? (mount -t cifs...) Ive been trying sudo chmod 777 ./mysharedfolder with no luck [11:00] window manager better said [11:00] FSX: Hm, you can try installing the "linux-headers-*kernel-version-here*" package [11:00] ls -lh or stat -c '%s' hello_world.sh is perfect :) [11:00] rabbiethe1st: ok...thanks... [11:01] razieliyo: sorry didn't noticed the change in name...Thanks for the info :) [11:01] jayant: Lets just say this: If X isn't running, all you get is a (fullscreen) terminal. [11:01] =) [11:01] Guys. Are someone using xitami as server insted apache??/ [11:01] robbiethe1st: then X is running [11:01] solved it by myself :-) byebye [11:01] jayant: Yes. [11:02] I have text stored in my mysql db, and é is stored as ? but render by the app as é, but on my new ubuntu server he render it as ?, what can this be?

[11:03] Is someone using xitami??? [11:04] I need a help [11:04] grrr I tried to get my microphone working in a steam game by installing the drivers and now I have no sound at all [11:04] Hi all. Is there a way to unzip all files in a directory but in a specific order i.e. by name ? [11:04] jayant: Not sure; check the settings. Make sure it's set to alsa or Pulse [11:05] cosmo: Just about the only way to get a working mic in Steam is to have ALSA, Pulse installed, then set Wine to use Pulseaudio. [11:05] how can I compile the latest libevent and install it over my current install (from ubuntu repos) [11:05] gundas: for f in $(*.zip);do unzip $f;done # assuming they're zip files [11:05] fulldaykg: that will do it by name? [11:05] I tried to make install but I get error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [11:05] fulldaykg: or is name the default sort? [11:05] cosmo: You'll also have to edit your game launch script and set the latency to 20ms or it lags [11:06] robbiethe1st: under settings there are only two options: MIDI Sequencer and MIDI Port [11:06] jayant: Oh. That's the problem. In that case, install qsynth. [11:06] And run it - You don't have a midi synthesizer, so we have to install a software-synth [11:06] gundas, sorry, drop the $( ) [11:06] robbiethe1st: ok...installing....thanks [11:07] You'll also need a "soundfont" file - Go find one online [11:07] and it's sorted alphabetical [11:07] i cant play youtube videos in chrome .. plz help [11:07] cosmo: Write this down: "export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=20" that's what needs to be in your launch file, above the actual launch command." [11:07] Meanwhile, I'm off to play some TF2. [11:08] jealous! [11:08] robbiethe1st, thats the game I was trying to get the mic working on [11:08] robbiethe1st: is there any other alternative...qsynth is 126 MB download :( [11:08] And I just told you how to do it. [11:09] robbiethe1st: what's the full form of TF2 ? [11:09] jayant: Not really; it's all the dependancies you need for it and it's bit. [11:09] Team Fortress 2 [11:09] time to wait [11:09] robbiethe1st: ok... [11:11] well pulseaudio is installed but there is no device under the hardware tab in sound preferences [11:11] I added the weather report applet on my panel, but it isn't having my city. What can i do to get my city ?

[11:19] jpablobr_: you might find the answer if you "man less" [11:19] I believe that ENV variable is used by less [11:19] fulldaykg: you mean all hidden files too, or only those starting with 'a' ?

But cant get the networkmanager to properly add a mobile dun connection. [11:44] dr0id: rather that something you just read or write to [11:46] fulldaykg: so, if i have a simple text file that just stores some basic info, then execute isnt relevant to that file, right ? [11:46] I can add the connection but it does not appear on the list of available connections. Is it just me ? [11:46] can someone respond to a question please i have asked it 2 times [11:47] dr0id: typically executable text files have a line at the very top that tells the computer what interpreter to use to execute it, i.e. ruby/bash/python ... ... well if you attemped to execute it (./myFileMarkedAsExecutable) it's would probably give you an error [11:47] ok, thanks [11:47] ilea: I don't know what giver does [11:47] one more thing, to delete the file, you just need write permission ?

Any ideas? [13:35] raven: And if you want to just plug your wireless router into the existing router, you can just turn off the DHCP server in the wireless router and it will act as a wireless bridge.

[15:36] winxp is sda1 and ubuntu sda4 [15:37] randomnik: Install grub to sda [15:37] with no number [15:37] randomnik: did you install with wubi from within windows or from a livecd install? [15:38] bye people [15:38] i have dual boot for years now, i usually do restore grub with live cd, but i thought booting into actual ubuntu would be easier [15:38] Paddy_NI, gonna try, tnx. sacarlson, there is your answer [15:38] randomnik: it is... just install the bootloader in the correct place [15:38] :) [15:40] Paddy_NI, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `sda'. [15:40] randomnik: my one liner method if booted from livecd: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice [15:40] after sudo grub-install sda [15:40] test [15:41] randomnik: what sacarlson says should sort you out with little pain [15:41] sacarlson, i did that procedure like 20 times so far, but, tbh, i didnt learn ubuntu for some time now, and i actually found a way to boot into real ubuntu [15:41] redboat: we see you [15:41] faster then live cd [15:42] randomnik: ya that's it from within ubuntu already your grub-install sda will work also [15:42] testing ok thanks [15:42] [segfault]: no luck with that. still wants that gnome-sharp: checking for GNOME_SHARP_20... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-sharp-2.0) were not met [15:42] sacarlson, , /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `sda'.

[15:44] <[segfault]> landingonwater: sorry, I was looking at the wrong package. gtk-sharp2-gapi? [15:44] randomnik: ok I've used that before but don't recall the method to fix that way [15:44] randomnik: you need to install grub2 to sda before you run update [15:44] is it worth upgrading a wolfdale e8500 to an AMD thurban [15:45] [segfault]: gtk-sharp2-gapi is installed. no luck.

The script has to be in the same directory as the .jar, that way I did it [16:09] oCean: dammit :D im so sorry [16:09] [segfault]: no luck locating the package on packages.ubuntu.com [16:10] Hola!

[17:03] blocks: so I will suggest redo the install, there could be some other issues [17:04] SnowmanX11, did you install kubuntu-desktop...if so you can go into kde system settings and under one of the menus there you can switch from netbook to desktop [17:04] hylian, what do you mean? [17:05] SnowmanX11, rather swtich from plasma netbook to regular KDE [17:05] hylian: you have to hand edit grub2, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html @ hylian [17:05] coz_: the only problem that I do not want to have KDE at all.

[17:06] SnowmanX11, well plasma netbook is part of kde desktop package I believe but if not check in synaptic as was suggested ,,hit Search type in kubuntu [17:06] * dinzy is new to Linux [17:06] hylian: how you expect someone to tell you step by steps if you not provide a paste of your current file? [17:06] Mhaddog, yes, i did. what i did is install it to an external hd. then booted to that external hd, but now the device listed is hd0,0 instead of hd2,0. i guess the answer is idk what happened. [17:06] hylian, and do you have a mix of ide and sata drives? [17:06] dinzy, hello. Do you have a question? [17:07] hylian, Have you tried running this: sudo update-grub ? It reprobes and re-writes everything automatically [17:07] dougl, all i know is the proper drive setting is hd0,0, but in the config file, which is now ridiculously complicated, it's set as hd2,0. [17:07] coz_: I know, that is why I asked for similar look for Gnome. [17:07] edbian, actually yes. that did not solve the problem, but thanks for the heads up. [17:08] SnowmanX11, well gnome's netbook does not look as clever or pretty as the plasma netbook [17:08] If nothing else, I will install Kubuntu Remix for them... [17:08] coz_: agree [17:08] i have this problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/702093, what can I do as a temporary solution? [17:08] hylian, You're probably better off writing a custom file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:08] Ubuntu bug 702093 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Root Nautilus does not access Trash" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [17:08] SnowmanX11, the problem with kde is it is far more resource intensive recently [17:08] coz_: but I dislike KDE. I also do not know that much as Gnome [17:08] SnowmanX11, I see,,, is this on a desktop or a laptop? [17:09] coz_: 4 years old cheap desktop [17:09] edbian, no. this should all be super easy, and gui. but i know that's not your fault. it would be faster to just reinstall it than to write a custom file. [17:09] SnowmanX11, that should be no problem... I would simply remove kubuntu-desktop and plasma-netbook and install ubuntu-desktop [17:10] SnowmanX11, then log off or restart then log into the gnome desktop [17:10] hylian, perhaps it would be faster for you ;) [17:10] yeah edbian, I have some graphical issues in Xubuntu. [17:10] my 4gb pendrive does not show on inserting into the usb port...can anyone help? [17:10] SnowmanX11, understand that the next version of ubuntu 11.04 will have the netbook edition by default on start up if you have ati or intel video [17:10] I see that some fonts are little blurred [17:10] any help? [17:10] does anyone know of a grub gui program i can install that will just let me change the values at will, and who created grub2 so i can send a rather disgruntled email? just kidding. :) [17:10] in graphical configuration.. [17:11] SnowmanX11, you would have to log off and choose classic gnome or classic gnome ( no effect) for regular gnome [17:11] * hylian bashes his skull into a wall [17:11] can anybody help [17:11] ?? [17:11] sudipta: does it show up if you type "lsusb" [17:11] sudipta: in a terminal [17:11] yeah [17:11] sudipta: then you might have to mount it manually [17:11] how? [17:11] hihihi100, Is there a .Trash in your /root folder? [17:12] sudipta: sudo fdisk -l [17:12] and why? [17:12] coz_: I just would like to provide a simple surface with a few big icons to choose the core things that they would use on daily bases and not the whole entire menu (independently from Gnome or KDE) [17:12] sudipta: find the device name, eg. /dev/sdc [17:12] sudipta: i dont know why, but i guess it happens [17:12] SnowmanX11, then go with the gnome netbook edition ...let me see what that is called [17:12] what is the diff from altanative cd? [17:12] !alternative [17:12] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [17:13] edbian, everytime I try to access that dir, the small clock icon will appear and do nothing else, it just waits for an eternity [17:13] that means i have to mount it every time [17:13] manually [17:13] sudipta: you could make a bash script for that [17:13] hihihi100, Can you access it via the terminal? [17:13] SnowmanX11, it is called ubuntu-netbook [17:13] Any one free to help me? [17:13] i have a question. [17:13] can it be done automatically upon inserting [17:14] edbian, cd /root [17:14] Why doesnt my other drives show in Linux?

[17:14] i mean other partitions [17:14] hihihi100, sudo cd /root ? [17:14] there is a /dev/sdb [17:14] hihihi100: sudo can't cd [17:14] hihihi100, no : after cd [17:14] wait [17:14] hihihi100, oh I see that [17:14] aargh.. i have to try it again here. [17:14] sudipta: it is possible but it would take a bit of coding :/ [17:14] coz_: I know, this is what I use on my netbook. But if you compare to Kubuntu Remix, it has more simple surface than the Gnome Remix version. (or netbook as you call it) [17:14] coz_, He didn't type the :'s those are the response to sudo cd [17:15] ruan: why did my installation get me a into like terminal like enviroment? [17:15] edbian, ah then maybe sudo -i then cd / [17:15] hihihi100, Try sudo -i then cd /root [17:15] Hi, I have a question, I am using Ubuntu as my media center with xbmc hooked to a 50" plasma... but it doesn't utilize the full screen (bout an inch on all sides missing).

[17:23] edbian, I created Trash, i cannot cd to it [17:23] hihihi100, Did you create .Trash? or Trash ?? [17:24] .Trash/ [17:24] hihihi100, Who owns it? What are the permissions on it? [17:24] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-03-19 18:21 .Trash [17:24] root [17:24] ruan: i thought i [17:25] lusmus: i think sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it? [17:25] hihihi100, That is bizarre. Anybody should be able to cd into it. What does 'whoami' output? Are you root right now? [17:25] ruan: how much diff is it from installing from a livecd.. the main thing is that i wanted to install like live cd but with a command line interface with the installer [17:26] root@hihihi100-laptop:~# , not hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$, so Im root [17:26] rap, whoami shows hihihi100 [17:26] lusmus: well its a cli install [17:26] edbian, ignore that [17:26] hihihi100, ok, but you're root in the bash shell so... Can you ls -la .Trash (just look into it without going into it?) [17:26] edbian, that was a different terminal [17:27] hihihi100, What was a different terminal? I can see your screenshot here... [17:27] edbian, in another terminal, I was trying to access trash [17:27] like hihihi100 [17:27] ruan: its why i got like this.. or is it the same on whole cd on altanative cd= [17:27] hihihi100, So you are inside it? Is it empty? Can you access Trash using gksudo nautilus? [17:28] lusmus: well im not sure [17:28] edbian http://paste.ubuntu.com/582553/ [17:28] lusmus: but as i said, nothing is stopping you from installing ubuntu-desktop and booting it [17:29] Hello, I posted a question a few minutes ago, using a pc with ubuntu as my media center connected vi hdmi with a 50" plasma and it doesn't go full screen. I was told to check resolution but it is correct 1920x1080, any other ideas on what to check? Thx in advance [17:29] hihihi100, What about in gksudo nautilus? [17:29] edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/582554/ === root__ is now known as pankaj_sharma [17:30] hihihi100, You're very good with pastebin :) [17:30] months of bugs.. lol [17:31] hihihi100, You can't gksudo as root. Either switch to hihihi10 or just run nautilus as root [17:31] hihihi100, Also, it looks like the nautilus window might have opened. Those are not critical errors I don't think. [17:32] Hi, can anybody explain why in gnome-terminal when I typed in "python" its comes up as version Python 2.5.5 , but if I typed "/usr/bin/python" comes up with Python 2.6 ?

[17:33] trying again, does anybody know why plasma via hdmi doesn't go full screen, resolution is set to factory resolution 1920x1080? [17:33] zatan: because you have two versions of python installed and the old one is in your path? [17:34] edbian, im in trash, its empty, It cannot be empty, I erased some files from my home folder, but didnt delete them from trash [17:34] edbian, no, wait, its the small clock again [17:35] what video formats can aview view? [17:35] hihihi100, I'm not surprised it's empty. I'm expecting that from now on it will work. [17:35] zatan: Run "which python" to see the default python binary that's executed. [17:35] EClaesson, ankreloaded do i need to set up path in .basrc file ? [17:35] edbian, all the past commands typed in the terminal are gone, i cannot just click up to see them [17:35] hihihi100, Cause you switched user perhaps?

My audio system is fine because i can play audio from rythmbox. On the application's settings, there are only two sound options and i tried both of them and still there isn't any sound played. Can someone help me with this problem please. [17:40] Anyone out there to help me out with some problems installing ubuntu? [17:40] Sary_, Sure, what's the problem. [17:40] The problems arent exactly with ubuntu but rather with booting from the USB drive [17:40] !java | pankaj_sharma [17:40] pankaj_sharma: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [17:40] I go into my BIOS and change the boot priority to my removable device [17:40] Sary_, ok... [17:40] (which was difficult in the first place because it doesnt tell me what key to use, damn windows...) [17:40] Sary_: ok, what happens if you try to boot it? [17:41] but then, it loads up windows as normal [17:41] Sary_, Your bios actually has nothing to do with Windows [17:41] Sary_, Change the bios to ask you at boot time if you can. Often that is much more clear. [17:41] How do I do that? [17:42] Sary_depends on ur mthrboard [17:42] (no the BIOS itself is fine, its that the restart covers my "go into set up using this key" with a silly useless black screen) [17:42] Sary_, Well ever bios is a little different. You're gonna have to hunt around you menus. It's probably near the boot order option === root is now known as Guest26664 [17:42] Which is where i've been dicking around... I changed it in boot priority to boot from removable drive, [17:43] doc1623, with nvidia you could have a go at the "overcan compensation". with ATI I don't know [17:43] its actually on that now, and im here on windows [17:43] Sary_, The bios is completely finished doing everything it does by the time windows is running. If windows is even loading! [17:43] Sary_, I have no clue what 'go into set up using this key' is [17:44] It sure is loading.. so I should restart, go into BIOS again, and find out how to make it ask me what to boot from during boot? [17:44] sorry.. you know, press F2 To enter setup, it shows up when you boot [17:44] Does anyone know of a usb fm tuner that is well supported under linux? I have found a few, but they dont seem to be for sale anymore === root__ is now known as pankaj_Sharm [17:45] hey [17:45] Sary_, That is my suggestion yes. If you tell it to boot CD rom then HDD and there is no CD in the drive or the CD is not bootable, then the machine will go to the hdd and boot windows. That's probably what is happening wit the USB drive [17:45] can somebody please help me with a problem with "tuxGuitar" No audio is played through that application [17:45] !info clamtk [17:45] clamtk (source: clamtk): graphical front-end for ClamAV. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.26-1 (maverick), package size 200 kB, installed size 1116 kB [17:45] wasutton3, what does usb fm tuner does? [17:45] Hm... I dont even have a cd drive, i'm on a netbook, but it offers me the option to boot from CD drive... I tried that too, when removable drive didnt succeed [17:45] Abhijit_: It allows you to listen to FM radio on your comptuer [17:45] bluefrog, just checked its Radeon HD 4350 [17:45] wasutton3, hmm you mean read world fm and not online fm? [17:46] Sary_, Don't worry about CD drive. You don't have one and you're not using one. I was just giving that as an example [17:46] doc1623, must be something similar for ATI anyway [17:46] Abhijit_: Yes, its for an in car PC i am building [17:46] wasutton3, hmm ok [17:46] So what's the best way for me to go forward? I'm sorry, I'm a little new to this === Axlin|AFK is now known as Axlin [17:46] I was messing with BIOS back in the days of Windows 98, but I've been without computers for three years now and have lost some of my skills [17:46] how can i view videos in terminal? aview isnt working [17:47] ascii of course [17:47] bluefrog, ok, I'll check it out... I read somewhere it might be the program that controls the effects...but I set that to no effects [17:47] ((( [17:47] Sary_: Are you sure the removable device you are using actually is bootable? Is ubuntu (or whatever is it) properly placed there? [17:47] bluefrog thanks for the help, googling it now [17:47] Sary_, 3 years with computers?! How do you live? Anyway, one of two things are going wrong. One, the usb drive is set set up correctly. 2 the bios is not trying to boot it. Unfortunately I can't think of a way to test each individually. I suggest messing with the bios some more and at least confirm that the USB drive should have booted. [17:47] нихера не понимаю [17:48] Sary_wich software do u usd to make d usb a bootable ubuntu? [17:48] I installed ubuntu on the USB drive according to the directions, it all went smoothly... is it bootable or not, I don't know, its a little 4 gig USB drive that I formatted when I installed ubuntu [17:48] Sary_, If you can get the BIOS to ask you what to boot ti will be very clear whether or not the USB drive is set up correctly [17:48] Привет всем.

[18:06] BCMM mmmmm, perhaps. You can download the source, compile it, and then try to run it. It's just a program. Will it work? I don't know. (seems like it probably won't be able to find the files it needs to copy) [18:06] earlier it worked fine...yesterday i reinstalled my ubuntu 10.10...after that this weird problem occured [18:06] i'm not looking to go to that much trouble; just wondering if it's an option that's already sorta-supported [18:07] i mean, that sounds like more trouble than setting up ubuntu netbooting properly [18:07] sudipta:is it showing under media folder? [18:07] hello! [18:07] nope....but it shows on lsusb [18:07] BCMM Yeah it would be a tremendous amount of trouble. I'm not aware of a pre-configured solution like you're looking for. [18:07] I have a default installation of Ubuntu: do I have kdm, xdm, or gdm? I'm trying to find the place to get Synergy to autostart. [18:07] and in system->admin->disk utility === jesus is now known as Guest16907 [18:08] HelloWorld123: gdm [18:08] tx [18:08] HelloWorld123, gdm [18:08] HelloWorld123, gdm -> gnome, kdm -> kde, xdm -> xfce [18:09] what does gdm stand for? gnome desktop mode? [18:09] !gdm [18:09] ruan: gnome display manager [18:09] ruan, gnome display manager. it's the login screen [18:09] log file to view hostnames for remote user logins? [18:09] thanks [18:09] Sudipta:is it showing mounted in the disk utility? [18:09] close enough [18:10] yeah [18:10] l1nuxman, /var/log/auth.log [18:10] ruan: it's a "display manager" in that it manages graphical logins on a display [18:10] edbian, but I don't see any ip's or hostnames [18:10] hey guys, does ubuntu 10.04 come on a cd or a dvd? === LawrenceRUS is now known as LawrenceRus [18:11] l1nuxman, Then the only logins were local. You won't get hostnames in the log. [18:11] ohhh [18:11] fizy[laptop], cd (both I think) [18:11] ya both [18:11] no sound in ubuntu 10.04, under gnome-volume-control no hardware is listed...? [18:11] !sound [18:11] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:11] change the settings in sound preferences. [18:11] edbian: ok. i am trying to find out wich of my unlabeled rewritable discs contains ubuntu, and im in a hurry so yeah [18:12] So I'm looking for the configuration files to autostart Synergy and QuickSynergy at /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default [18:12] in ubuntu I've included libjpeg as part of my application. However I am unable to find certain methods, how can I see what header file my version of libjpeg has? [18:12] shri31, if you mean selected a device, there are none to select [18:12] fizy[laptop], sudo fdisk -l will list which are linux partitions [18:12] sudipta:u tried unplugging n plugging it again? [18:12] yeah [18:12] edbian: nono. im installing linux on mmy new computer, and i know i have a ubuntu disc somewhere, i just want to search as few discs as possible [18:13] HelloWorld123: I normaly use cron to autostart add a line with @reboot [18:13] Sudipta:tried rebooting with the usb drive inserted? [18:13] @townes:what does alsa mixer show [18:13] Hi [18:13] Hi all [18:13] yaeh [18:13] whats the command to remove a user [18:13] fizy[laptop], You wanna check the CD's? Put them in the drive while windows is running. It will show up all Ubuntu-y [18:13] Hi kochanka [18:13] When using ubuntu with awesome some features seeem to be missing === leonardo is now known as Guest94606 [18:13] Like automatic updates. [18:13] edbian: i know. i just want to do that with as few discxs as possible [18:14] Somelauw, Look at system -> admin -> update manager [18:14] fizy[laptop], Magically read the CD's with your bare eyes [18:14] edbian: they arae rewritable, so i dont lable them [18:14] hmm looks like debbootstrap can do that https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html [18:14] thanks anyway! [18:14] fizy[laptop], There is no faster way to check them than to check them [18:14] edbian: i already found it. thanks [18:14] edbian: Yes, but when I try to update something, it won't prompt for a password and work. [18:14] fizy[laptop], good :) [18:14] hey guys.. i'm going to record a nylon acoustic guitar with a condensator microphone, and it's a pretty fast plucked piece. i want a good balance between the high/low strings. could anyone point me in the right direction with microphone placement? [18:14] Somelauw, How are you trying to update? [18:15] well i just didnt want to check rw dvds if it was on a cd [18:15] after I tried to install the linux sound card drivers from the maker's website I lost all sound and nothing shows in the hardware tab of sound preferences, I uninstalled alsa-base and alsa-util, rebooted, installed those to again and ran sudo alsa force-reload and I still have no sound and nothing shows in the hardware tab of sound preferences, any ideas? [18:15] shri31, I could be mistaken, but I don't think I've ever had alsamixer in 10.04. I should install it? [18:15] zth, That has nothing to do with ubuntu? [18:15] edbian: MOD4 + R: update-manager [18:15] fizy[laptop], It's probably on a CD ;) [18:15] how to get backtrack on linux [18:15] edbian, word, didn't realize i was in this channel and did a amsg lol [18:15] Somelauw, MOD4 + R is not a valid command? [18:15] try it . gnome-alsamixer [18:15] zth, haha [18:16] edbian MOD4 is the windoze key [18:16] are u there? [18:16] shrey, not installed. I'll install and see if that takes me anywhere [18:16] edbian: And r is lowercase [18:16] shri31, , not installed. I'll install and see if that takes me anywhere [18:16] sudipta:sory a litl bsy here...will be back [18:16] edbian: I am using awesome, remember [18:16] Somelauw, OOOhh, didn't know you were on awesome. What does that key-binding do then? [18:16] suddenly my machine is saying that network is not enabled even though i have a connection. Any ideas on how to fix this? [18:16] ok [18:16] are you sure your hardware doesnt have a problem? [18:17] can anybody else help? [18:17] shri31, I have no idea really. [18:17] marc__, Right click the applet, enable networking checkbox [18:17] do you dual boot? [18:17] edbian, its greyed out [18:17] I don't [18:17] marc__, sudo service networking restart [18:18] Hello! It is possible to remove distros from the list in the Startup Disk Creator? [18:18] edbian, will try, hold [18:18] marc__, holding... [18:18] Did u try plugging in the headphones while booting [18:19] is there anybody who can help me....having a weird problem [18:19] edbian: It is like Alt+f2 in gnome (launching a program) [18:19] shri31, I don't recall specifically but it's possible [18:19] @sudipta:?? [18:19] Somelauw, ok. So what does this have to do with updating programs? [18:19] (gnome-alsamixer is blank, or when I click on sound card properties it exits out) [18:19] edbian, say unknown commnd restart [18:20] shri31:yeah [18:20] Hello! It is possible to remove distros from the list in the Startup Disk Creator? === sun_ is now known as Guest95365 [18:20] Also (stupid question). What does sudo aptitude auto-remove do? [18:20] my pendrive does not show up [18:20] marc__, Did you make a typo?? [18:20] pls....help me!!!! [18:20] townes, same problem here [18:20] @townes:may be the kernel isnt recognising your audio chip so try plugging in the headphones so that the kernel loads your driver module during boot time [18:20] edb, illtry again but think not === Guest56425 is now known as DarkDevil [18:21] shri31, alright will give that a go in a sec [18:21] cosmo, how long has it been going on? === ubuntu is now known as acoustica === DarkDevil is now known as Guest27659 [18:21] wassup sudipta [18:22] edbian, now it says restart:unknown instance [18:22] not good....having a weid problem [18:22] When I try to update something, it won't prompt for a password when I click "update" [18:22] townes, since I tried to install the linux drivers from the manufacturer [18:22] edbian: And I can easily work around that, but I am just wondering why that happens. [18:23] Somelauw, removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies but are no longer needed. [18:23] edbian, and placed a lightbulb next to network manager that say networking not enabled [18:23] cosmo, ah. what's tripping me up is that I didn't try updating anything when this happened =/... maybe you could roll back your drivers? [18:23] marc__, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (does that work?) [18:23] i have a windows XP Pro cd, and a 20GB secondary partition. how do i install windows XP and keep ubuntu? (its on the first partition) [18:23] edbian, ill try [18:23] @sudipta: goto Administration-> disk utility. try to mount it. if not possible.format it! [18:23] townes, I dont know how [18:23] edbian: Some website told me that removes old kernels, but I am scared that it will remove windoze too. [18:23] Somelauw, How are you trying to update? [18:23] Somelauw, it will not remove windows. I guarantee that [18:24] Somelauw, it might remove old kernels. I'm not sure. the old kernels are packages just like anything else. [18:24] i also prefer to leave at least 2 kernels on my system. [18:24] in disk utility i can not mount it...or amy other pd [18:24] marc__, Different command, some effect [18:24] cosmo, I've never done it..google or ask here maybe [18:24] try formatting [18:24] edbian: what is the safest way to remove them? [18:24] stupidta ... try fdisk [18:25] townes, thats what I have been doing for at least 4 hours [18:25] Somelauw, Finding the packages manually in synaptic and removing exactly the ones you want. Now how are you trying to update your software? [18:25] u hav gparted? [18:25] cosmo, haha I feel you... let me see if I can try to look it up [18:25] no [18:25] edbian: win + r, and then typing update-manager and then pressing enter [18:25] edbian, command not found [18:26] edbian: And then selecting "update" [18:26] so if two users are logged in under the same user, if I type history, it would show the combination of our commands? [18:26] Somelauw, And then the update-manager launches correct? [18:26] edbian: And then nothing happens, while it should open gksudo [18:26] try installing it.nice gui partition manager [18:26] To prompt for a password. [18:26] l1nuxman: no. [18:26] So, maybe it has problems with popups or somethin [18:26] @townes: i jus found the dummest workaround for solving all ubuntu10.04 sound related bugs.... INSTALL KDE!!! [18:27] edbian, restarting did not work either === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [18:27] cosmo, go to synaptic and search for your sound driver [18:27] greppy, how can I view the other persons? [18:27] shri31, hahaha [18:27] Somelauw, update-manager in a terminal. keep in mind that typing in the passwords lasts for about 15 minutes [18:27] it worked for me !! [18:27] marc__, I think you're making a typo [18:27] edbian: Although I can't test now, since I already installed updates. [18:27] l1nuxman: you can't really, it's in memory associated with their shell. [18:27] shri31, I believe you :) [18:27] i cant here my empathy alert tone..help me pls [18:27] edbian: I worked around by typing gksudo update-manager in a terminal [18:28] i aint kiddin [18:28] greppy, but it must be somewhere in logs no? [18:28] edbian: But I wonder why it won't show that popup [18:28] Somelauw, It is remembering the password for 15 minutes [18:28] install kde-plasma-desktop [18:28] edbian, nope copy and pasted your command [18:28] Somelauw, I'm not really worried about it. I'm SURE it's secure. It's probably caching the password. [18:28] shri31, I might very well give that a go if I can't figure it out by tomorrow [18:28] yo? [18:29] I lost my X11/xorg.conf file when i tried to get compiz 9x [18:29] marc__, What part of the command does it complain about? Can you pastebin the error? [18:29] cosmo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316634 allegedly that might work, I'm going to give it a go and see [18:30] I want to install multiseat in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10, I have 2 monitors 2 mice 2 keyb and a dual head Nvidia, help please [18:30] edbian: I didn't saw update progress either. Just nothing happened. [18:30] if the problem is related to ubuntu10.04(gnome)... it will be resolved... else there is something wrong with the driver (or) hardware (or) ..i dont know!! [18:30] Somelauw, Perhaps there was no updates? Or very few and it went very fast. [18:31] edbian, tried it again, it said reconfiguring devices, but still has enable networking in grey [18:31] anybody knows something about multiseat? [18:31] marc__, mmmm, what did you do that caused this issue originally? [18:31] edbian, just a restart [18:32] edbian, should i try to resart again? [18:32] marc__, can you pastebin /etc/networking/interfaces ? Restarts never hurt but I don't think it'll help. [18:32] edbian: It worked after I did the gksudo from terminal trick and there were definitely updates. [18:33] Somelauw, I thin if you run as a normal user and then hit the update button it would ask [18:33] hello [18:34] How can I disable user login in Ubuntu Server? [18:34] I just want to boot the computer without typing the password [18:34] brb [18:34] !server [18:34] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

I try to mount my ftp server with curlftpfs. The main problem now is, that the username contains an @ symbol (user@domain) and curlftpfs stops after the @. So, "curlftpfs user=name@domain ..." only use as username "name" and not "name@domain". Any ideas? [18:36] marc__, And that means the previous command is. sudo service network restart [18:36] btw. user="name@domain" does not work too [18:37] just tell me. is it possible to disable user login in ubuntu server? [18:37] Hi guys its Sary again... having the same problem but with some more interesting details [18:37] Sary_, usb boot on a netbook right... [18:37] thats right [18:38] so here's something interesting... I tried to autoplay from my USB in windows and it didnt work... I decided to reformat my USB drive and re-install the whole usb boot thing to my usb [18:38] so I did that, went to BIOS, and disabled booting from hard drive and booting from CD drive, [18:38] -:ALL EXCEPT root:LOCAL [18:38] lol:d [18:38] and then when it booted after that, it gave me this message: [18:38] Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected Boot Devices [18:39] press any key to continue [18:39] etc. so its not reading the usb as a proper boot device, [18:39] !anyone [18:39] 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. [18:39] AND when I shut it down and shut it back on, I missed going into BIOS and it still went to windows 7 even though I had everything else disabled [18:39] anyone [18:39] Sary_, You told it to boot a CD drive it doesn't have! [18:39] edbian, wont let me do it [18:40] nono, I told it to boot USB drive [18:40] or "Removable Drive" in my BIOS [18:40] marc__, What won't let you do what? [18:40] Sary_, ooooo [18:40] Sary_, Yeah the drive is not set up correctly [18:40] I have to assume from this point that its not set up correctly, but the question is how do I set it up correctly? lol [18:41] the .exe install and the .iso are both on my desktop, I find them in the install prompt on there for it... it seems to be installing properly [18:41] and yet it isn't working [18:41] I've already tried re-installing it, what to do from here? [18:41] incidentally its set as a FAT32 drive [18:41] edbian, gksudo gedit /etc/networking/interfaces [18:41] Perhaps that should be changed? === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [18:42] marc__, there is no networking. it's gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [18:42] Does Ubuntu 10.10 use Metacity? [18:42] EClaesson: i think so [18:42] EClaesson, it is installed but compiz is turned on be default which replaces it. so no [18:42] hello [18:42] So Compiz is the dafault? Thank you.

Just keyboard and NM. Reboot dosn`t help. What should I do? [18:44] edbian, did I lose ya? [18:44] marc__, Ok good. that file is fine. does sudo lspci list our interfaces? [18:44] Sary_, I just don't know how to fix it :( [18:44] Hello [18:44] Damn. Alright. I'll go dig around some more. Thanks anyway. [18:44] Sary_, Good luck! [18:45] anyone use acct?

[18:47] edbian, ok thanks [18:48] neiz, There will be when it comes out. Go to system -> admin -> software sources and check the box from 'LTS releases' to 'normal' releases. Then when it comes out use update manager [18:50] marc__, it worked? [18:50] yes i think so [18:50] edbian, i thinks so [18:50] marc__, Hurray!

[19:23] imho, these drivers should be integrated into ubuntu or a network manager. i've seen too many people with broadcom issues [19:23] i keep getting this error every time i restart The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome". [19:24] ruan: Yea, but I've had netbooks where the generic drivers worked, but the proprietary ones killed it. [19:24] ruan: it's not consistent enough to warrant something like that. [19:25] Kyle__: network drivers? [19:25] !OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome [19:25] i understand graphic drivers shouldn't be, but these are network drivers, and i havent heard of a problem from them [19:25] ruan: thanks [19:25] !OAFIID [19:26] ruan: broadcom network drivers. Maybe I misread and combined some lines as they were going past. [19:26] ruan: Yup, network drivers. [19:26] anyone here know what could be the issue with me getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"." [19:26] i've only heard positive feedback from the broadcom drivers [19:26] so far [19:26] ruan: The closed source onces, and the ndis drivers both can be really flaky on some hardware. [19:27] * Kyle__ shrugs [19:27] ruan: I lived through it though, and came across dozens of other posts from other people who were having issues with the same hardware at the time. [19:27] Jordan_U, do you know of any good tutorials on how to use the terminal? [19:27] and the shell? [19:27] The open source drivers are the best option tos start with, at least that's how I feel :) [19:28] The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome".

Is thee a simple way to tell? There's no X11 installed. [19:31] Will apt-get install ubuntu-desktop get me to where I would be had I installed the desktop version or is there some extra stuff I should do? [19:32] can someone confirm that ubuntu, by default, is not ssh ready? [19:32] dskippy, that's enough [19:32] randomuser: it is [19:32] randomuser, It can ssh to others but it is not an ssh server by default [19:32] randomuser: the client is ssh ready [19:32] randomuser: ssh server is really easy to install though [19:33] ruan: when i install the b43-fwcutter package as described, i dont get the prompt to extract and install the firmware as shown in the guide. It just installs and thats it. And it doesnt show up under "additional drivers" [19:33] so i need openssh-server, got it [19:33] ChrisBuchholz, can you reboot and pastebin the output dmesg ? [19:33] randomuser, yes [19:33] and the default firewall is wide open now? WTF? [19:34] randomuser, yep. That's because Ubuntu is secure enough to have a wide open firewall. Real security purists will tell you how you should never need a firewall. [19:34] randomuser, It's always been wide open IRRC [19:35] hallllo allemaaal [19:35] edbian: sure.

Since before 7.10 for sure [19:35] hello everyone [19:35] anyone got any suggestion on how i could fix OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome? [19:36] edbian: i willrrestart and paste dmesg [19:36] error when loading up [19:36] ChrisBuchholz, I'm eagerly awaiting [19:36] ChrisBuchholz: just check if it works as expected when you reboot though [19:36] ruan, ChrisBuchholz That's probably a safe decision [19:37] ChrisBuchholz, If it is working I do not need to see dmesg [19:37] i am seeking help with issue in "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome" [19:39] edbian, ruan how would i check if it works? It doesnt appear under Additional hardware drivers. Only the broadcom STA does, which is the one i DONT wanna use beccause its damn slow [19:39] ChrisBuchholz: just check if its fast [19:40] edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582608/ [19:40] ChrisBuchholz, Can you connect to a network? [19:40] ChrisBuchholz: after reboot [19:40] edbian: yes i am connected, but that is via Broad STA driver [19:40] broadcom* [19:40] how come sound events sound kind of distorted and scratchy? what can I do to fix this? [19:41] edbian, ruan: i dont think b43-fwcutter installs. It says on the documentation it has to extract and install the driver, but it only installs the package. Doesnt ask me about xtracting firmware and so [19:41] ChrisBuchholz, you not not appear to be using the b43 driver. (the fwcutter thing) [19:41] edbian: yes, that is what i am saying :D [19:41] ChrisBuchholz, It didn't load any firmware either. dmesg would have said so [19:41] so we're agreed then... [19:41] haha [19:41] edbian: but why am i not [19:41] no one here knows what i am talking about ? [19:41] i install b43-fwcutter, edbian, and then what? [19:42] can you sudo apt-get purge fwcutter and sudo apt-get install fwcutter and show me what is says? [19:42] i should ve not upgrade :( [19:42] edbian: fwcutter or b43-fwcutter?

[19:45] What is the chipset exactly so I can google it? [19:45] edbian: bcm4322 [19:46] randomuser, yep. That's because Ubuntu is secure enough to have a wide open firewall. Real security purists will tell you how you should never need a firewall [19:46] is this a joke? [19:46] edbian: an fwcutter? [19:46] ChrisBuchholz, package? a fwcutter besides b43-fwcutter [19:46] randomuser, no [19:46] edbian: no i dont think so. Not installed anyways [19:46] randomuser, I am absolutely serious. [19:47] ChrisBuchholz, Usually it outputs stuff about getting the firmware as well. [19:47] edbian: and not when i search either [19:47] does anyone know if ipw2200 driver is patch already [19:47] edbian: yes, the documentation says so, but it doesnt for me [19:47] injection patch === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [19:47] ChrisBuchholz, what does sudo lspci -k say about things. It should list the driver you are using and the other drivers avialable on the system. [19:47] My box is responding very slowly. I am running only one instance of eclipse, one instance of skype, yet i hvae about 20+ eclipse processes and 10 skype processes. Is this normal? [19:48] edbian: you want the output?

Have to go now. Thank you so far [19:50] ruan, i'm not sure, even i have now 15 firefox processes as well. And i am basically running only those 3 apps [19:51] randomuser, Securing ports makes things 'more secure' but if you have secure software on the system it doesn't matter if outside connections are made to it. If nothing is listening on a port then that port is secure anyway. There is no reason to block it. Furthermore, firewalls break the layering of the Internet. Middleboxes are not supposed to read the ports of packets. Just forward them. [19:51] clu3: you can check up on them with system monitor [19:51] or top [19:51] randomuser, This is a controversial topic. Many people disagree on it. [19:51] that's how i found out, i used top [19:51] Umm [19:51] htop actually [19:51] anyone here can support me or direct me to the correct channel for Ubuntu help & Support? [19:52] randomuser, Additionally most people have a router these days that does NAT which is affectively firewalling. [19:52] ATDPRHS: this is the ubuntu help/support channel [19:52] ATDPRHS: This is the right channel. Best way to get help is to just ask your question, and someone will chime in if they know the answer. [19:52] uumm [19:52] okayz [19:52] thank you Flannel [19:53] randomuser, Security and usability are often at opposing sides of an issue. A firewall decreases usability (because it often annoying blocks traffic from newly installed apps) so many people dislike them. They are widely used though. [19:53] well, when I turn on Ubuntu, it doesn't allow me to type in my password [19:53] edbian, so if my 'middlebox' is routing traffic to my lan, and I have one box running vsftpd and one running httpd, you're saying packet routing by port is undesirable? [19:53] I can't even give me the username password text boxes for me to type anything [19:53] What do I do? [19:54] 8-) [19:54] hmmm. [19:54] randomuser, Packet routing by port is NAT. Which also is not pure or in accordance with the layering of the Internet. However it is common because it helps alleviate the IPv4 space problem and it is convenient, and 'more secure' according to some. [19:54] edbian, if you want to say that it's turned off to save the end users the hassle of learning what i firewall does, that's fine. I don't agree with it, but the reasonig is valid. But don't tell me that anything is absolutely secure [19:55] and dont tell me incoming traffic is NAT routed, either. [19:55] key combo for an onscreen keyboard, perhaps? [19:55] randomuser, If you have a router incoming traffic is NAT routed. [19:55] randomuser, The system is secure enough that a firewall is not necessary. [19:56] this suit is black.... NAT [19:56] randomuser, security is a matter of opinion. So some people want more, some people want less. No natter what the Ubuntu devs do someone will disagree with it. [19:56] I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver [19:56] no system is secure enough [19:56] randomuser, see, there are people like valan in the world. [19:56] valan: Turn it off and unplug it. That's a secure system. [19:56] valan, no offense [19:57] astley , have you managed to figure out the model of the card yet [19:57] Starminn your hard drive may still be physically unsecure [19:57] valan: No, because I'm using it to sharpen my tools. [19:57] Hello. When I try to set up a new VPN connection my only option is PPTP, what do I have to install to have other options (L2TP etc)? [19:57] edbian, so if i were to point my browser at 128.239.26.145; NAT would allow the router ro automagickally know which box behind the gateway i was looking for? [19:57] Starminn good for you [19:58] hello [19:58] I want to use 1280x960. The option is not available under Monitor Preferences, I can't do 'xrandr -s 1280x960' and I can't find the xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I did find an example xorg.conf (I forgot where it is).. I just want to use the superior 1280x960 resolution. 1280x1024 is rong aspect ratio [19:58] !ubottu [19:58] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [19:58] edbian: can I give you a hand digging that hole deeper? [19:58] randomuser, If you point to 128.239.26.145 that is either another machine or a router. The router will say port 80? over here -> 192.168.1.2 (or some address) [19:58] valan: http://media.techeblog.com/images/weird-fixes.jpg [19:58] th0r, Sure :) [19:58] How can I make sshd to start on boot? [19:58] * Starminn Okay, I'll go away now. Sorry guys [19:59] Guest86001, Install openssh-server and it will start on boot automatically [19:59] How can I delete my chat logs from Empathy? [19:59] edbian: it didnt that's why I am here (ubuntu.server) [19:59] Starminn, I have to do that twice a week! [19:59] nat is great, but it's not security [19:59] Guest86001, does this start it: sudo service ssh start [19:59] edbian: lol [20:00] is ubuntu ultimate edition just an over packed version of ubuntu or are most of the apps convenient [20:00] Polah: Probably in a hdiden folder in your home directory. [20:00] is there a data base of software I have installed that I can export list and use to config other 10.10 install? [20:00] skullboy: ubuntu ultimate is not supported here [20:00] skullboy: Ultimate Garbage. [20:00] edbian, the router will redirect there because you told it to; routing of return packets from a locally initated request is handled in NAT tables [20:00] Polah: I use Pidgin and mine are in /home/MyUser/.purple/logs/ and so on so forth [20:00] valan, If port forwarding is all turned off it is effectively an incoming router firewall. [20:00] ...if you'll forgive the redundancy [20:00] dougl you can export a list of installed packages with synaptic [20:00] edbian but i thought you said we don't need firewalls? [20:01] [S] [20:01] [P] [20:01] [A] [20:01] Starminn: I figured that much, but can't find it. I saw .mission-control and removed that, and there's some posts about ./local/share/Empathy but that doesn't exist [20:01] does doing a live install decrease the chance of success [20:01] xangua, yeah I thot you could - looking at that now, thank you... any pointers? [20:01] randomuser, the destination router will redirect packets because of the packet's port number. [20:02] randomuser, what you said about return packets it true [20:02] valan, :) [20:02] does doing a live install decrease the chance of success [20:02] Polah: Do you have it set to store chat logs? [20:02] skullboy, success of what? [20:02] hi === KolakCC is now known as KolakCC|Zzz [20:02] anyone in india? [20:03] edbian: installation [20:03] niluu: I am sure someone is in india [20:03] Starminn: It stores them; I can look at them through Empathy [20:03] if you maintain very tight and strict control over your system, a firewall probably isn't necessary [20:03] but unless you're doing realtime, 24 hour monitoring, a firewall is probably required [20:03] skullboy, It is any worse than any other method. Easiest in my opinion [20:03] on any production system [20:03] Polah: ~/.gnome2/empathy/logs [20:03] just installed ubuntu & xchat [20:03] valan, opinion [20:03] of course [20:04] s/a firewall/a properly configured and maintained firewall/ [20:04] valan, of course we assume it's configured properly [20:04] assumption will lead to a compromise [20:05] i work in information assurance and communications security, forgive me if i give more credit to the crackers than most do [20:05] Polah: The two places people point to are ~/.gnome2/Empathy/logs && ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs [20:06] how do I export a list of installed packages from synaptic? [20:06] edbian, the fact that NAT tables work so well is a motivator to have a secure-ish firewall by default; the average end user wont notice it becase of the ESTABLISHED,RELATED rule === jesus is now known as Guest10375 [20:07] randomuser, the average user will have no idea no matter what we do [20:08] If you have nothing listening by default, or only secure services listening (ie ssh), the firewall may not slow anything down, but it is kindof supurfulous [20:08] the average user is the people who need to be protected [20:09] dougl try dpkg -l > text.txt [20:09] changed the port and it's working again [20:09] text.txt being the file you exported to [20:09] Starminn, neither of those exist for me [20:09] Kyle__ i don't know anybody who runs a default install [20:09] i'm not sure why the package consolekit is installed in my box, but its process /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon is spawning about 50 of them. Any advice what is this package? From the apt-cache show: framework for defining and tracking users, sessions and seats [20:09] ConsoleKit is a system daemon for tracking what users are logged into the system and how they interact with the computer (e.g. which keyboard and mouse they use) [20:10] is it essential? can i remove it? [20:10] !info consolekit [20:10] consolekit (source: consolekit): framework for defining and tracking users, sessions and seats. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.1-4ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 94 kB, installed size 552 kB [20:10] valan: Point taken. But I did run a pool of guest-only machines with a very-nearly-default install for public internet usage for years. [20:10] :) [20:10] clu3: not required. you can try removing it === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [20:11] hi everyone, I have an fstab question for you all. I have a version of ubuntu I am running from virtual box. I have it all set up and I have a share folder. The problem I am having is the permissions of the share folder mount. It is mounting with root as the owner. I am pretty sure I have the right uid and gid numbers right. Here is my fstab: UbuntuShare /home/user/ShareFolder vboxsf auto [20:11] defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=006 0 0 [20:11] I seem to be having some troubles with Grub, in that it no longer loads at all on boot [20:11] ruan, thanks [20:11] Kyle__ also, many people won't realize it if/when a package they install, whether on purpose or inadvertently, opens a port and listens for external connections [20:12] Polah: Not usre. [20:13] hello; i am using lucid 10.04.2 lts with the latest skype (2.1.0.81); ringing works fine but no voice is audible when making the test call; any suggestions please? [20:13] valan: True. But there you could make the argument about default configs needing to be more secure. [20:13] ruan, is there a way to find out which packages depend on consolekit? I wanna find out why it's installed in my box [20:13] Kyle__ i would also make the argument about a default firewall needing to drop all new external connections [20:14] clu3: apt-cache rdepends consolekit [20:14] if the user wants to run an service open to the world, they should manually open the firewall to do so [20:15] thanks LjL , interesting, lots of looking important packages depend on it, uhm..(gnome-power-manager, gnome-bluetooth...) [20:15] but whatever, the distro devs will do what they want, i only came in here because someone pointed me to a discussion i thought interesting [20:15] even nautilus [20:15] valan: And as I speak I'm being bitten by a stupid bot trying to get into my home machine... it can't get in, but has used up all my login attempts and I've got to wait for sshd to play nice again. [20:16] where is the alsaconf? [20:16] Kyle__ nobody said security was easy [20:16] my card was not detected, so its was easy when had alsaconf to set it up [20:16] valan: True that. [20:16] and if it is, you've either been doing it for a long time and have lots of experience, or you're not secure [20:16] Looks like I should have remembered to bring my key with me from home. [20:17] valan: Real security is easy, unplug. Real security with real flexibility, that's the trick. [20:17] ;) [20:17] even unplugging from the net isn't secure [20:17] still have physical security to worry about [20:18] why ubuntu has no alsaconf? [20:18] people, is there a method to detect a virus in a ubuntu box? Any guidelines? I think my comp is infected. Each application i run, i see 10+ processes for it [20:18] Yea, but if it gets to that point with your home machines, you're screwed. With your work machines, well, you're still screwed if it gets that far. Especially with executive's laptops. [20:18] I'm wondering if I have a problem with my boot config. I just got updated to the latest kernel 2.6.32-30? But uname -a after reboot shows 2.6.32-24. Is my update failing to set me to the latest kernel? [20:18] valan: Kyle__ : back to the topic please :-) [20:18] conercning file permision with the http server, i was wondering if making the server run as www-data and then set chmod as www-data for groups of file folder and lastly adding www-data the the login user groups [20:18] anybody know why Grub wouldn't load at all? [20:19] guntbert: Sorry. [20:19] problem was listenaddres [20:19] ss [20:19] Falst define "wouldn't load at all" [20:19] valan: on boot, it stops before where the grub menu would usually load [20:19] Falst does the system not boot? does it skip the menu? [20:19] it doesn't boot at all [20:20] I'm currently on a LiveCD [20:20] clu3: Lookup some rootkit detection stuff. A linux virus in the wild isn't impossible, but infeasable.

The included usb-creator.exe doesn't even let me select the iso. Is there a way to boot the usb from a grub entry? (I have ubuntu installed already) === DarkDevil is now known as Guest67623 [20:23] Kyle__, fkwknop is awesome [20:23] !natty | sahaquiel [20:23] sahaquiel: 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. [20:23] randomuser: port knocking? Sweet. [20:24] Kyle__, the best part is that it drops packets on both the knock port and the open port, even while listening for the knock; nmap doesn't see shit [20:24] xangua: thanks, but this is not a natty specific problem, it's a problem of the tools that make the ubuntu isos bootable on usb. I coudn't boot the 10.10 iso as well [20:26] you'd open --p tcp --d-port 22 just long enough to type in your password, then it's established and the rule that let you in is wiped [20:26] So is it wise to tell any program that uses apt-get to use apt-fast instead? [20:26] randomuser: Hum. I think in my setup it may still show up though, just not answer. But I'd have to dig through the apple-airport settings to be sure. [20:26] sahaquiel: dod you make certain that the iso wasn't corrupted? [20:26] sahaquiel, look at unetbootin to make a usb drive [20:26] I am following the directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 to hopefully fix my alsa driver but when I run sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh -c it errors out saying make[4]: *** [/opt/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-driver-1.0.24/pci/ca0106/ca0106_proc.o] Error 1 [20:26] make[3]: *** [/opt/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-driver-1.0.24/pci/ca0106] Error 2 [20:26] make[2]: *** [/opt/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-driver-1.0.24/pci] Error 2 [20:26] make[1]: *** [_module_/opt/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-driver-1.0.24] Error 2 [20:26] make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic' [20:26] cosmo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:28] sahaquiel some hardware is picky about the iso it can boot [20:28] randomuser: you try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ yet? [20:28] sahaquiel, there's also a fedora tool that i think is live2usb or iso2usb.... look at the fedora docs on doing an install and you should find it fairly quickly [20:28] It's fairly nice to use that from ubuntu. [20:28] sahaquiel example, i have a box that will boot debian and ubuntu isos but not fedora or opensuse, even though every other box i have boots them all just fine, from the same medium [20:29] valan: I know, i was able to boot only ubuntu 10.04, no other ubuntu and no arch [20:29] Emanon, i use something like that, yeah [20:29] how do i change my language settings from firefox [20:29] edit>addons>language dannyd_ [20:30] i founnd instructions on the net, but there are no screen shots....the firefox i downloaded from mint repositories is in some other language [20:30] dannyd_: mint is not supported here [20:30] !mintsupport [20:30] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:30] sahaquiel: You can boot the iso via grub by adding a menu entry for it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then running "sudo update-grub".

[/usr/src/linux/include]" I just hit enter assuming it is the correct location but apparently it is not. Does anyone know what is the direcotry location for Ubuntu? Thanks. [20:41] is there a reason why ubuntu don't require a password for root account? how do i login as root? su - ask for a pass. [20:41] xBlueprint, my alsa I have no sound [20:41] !grub [20:41] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[20:45] yea [20:45] cosmo, go to the pirvate chat [20:45] it worked fine with no drivers installed [20:45] Currently getting "error 15", but I might've gotten at least one step past that... === ogra is now known as Guest23759 [20:46] lloowen__: on my system /usr/src/linux doesn't exist [20:46] Speedfx, there is probably a code to use with grub to force a standard driver. [20:46] Speedfx, or you can boot into text mode and uninstall with aptget === Senix is now known as Senix|ingame [20:47] hey [20:47] sup [20:47] lloowen__: look at ls -l /usr/src [20:47] what would the aptget command be then?

[20:50] Speedfx, yes [20:50] k thanks [20:50] smw: No. Getting "error 15" upon trying to boot. Attempted upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic last night hosed the system. [20:51] Yendor, grub is saying "Error 15" and nothing else? [20:51] smw: The system has one regular HD and one raid drive md0 [20:51] smw: What's the full error.....Error 15: file not found, I believe. [20:51] But beyond that....Correct. Nothing else. [20:52] Yendor, does it say what file was not found? [20:52] It does not [20:52] Yendor, and it says this before showing any menus? [20:52] smw: Correct [20:52] newbie [20:52] May I ask a question here ... newbe [20:52] !ask | boo_ [20:52] boo_: 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. :-) [20:53] smw: I can get to a grub menu, and I can edit it... [20:53] x_dimitri: use the !alternate CD for that [20:53] boo_, what do you need [20:53] guntbert:ok. thanks [20:53] Hi [20:53] smw: Not a new user here; have been using Ubuntu for 8 years or so. Just not good at grub repairs.

[20:54] smw: "find /grub/stage1" returns "hd0,0" [20:54] Kool, I am trying to install my ubuntu on a home network but it keeps asking for a server?? I just whant to see the other computers on my network [20:54] Yendor, I am trying to figure out what file is not found... === julian__ is now known as Sivert3 [20:55] smw: Well...Editing the grub menu manually, I changed it from /boot/vmlinuz to just /vmlinuz. It got a bit further. [20:55] Oblivion crashes as soon as a click yes to start a new game. I tried running it with wineconsole and have the output ready to paste if someone can help. [20:55] mindspider: have you searched winehq? [20:55] Yup [20:55] smw: Then it failed, I believe, because of my raid drive. [20:55] boo_: Is that a dns server ot [20:55] boo_: Is that a dns server it's asking for? [20:55] And also the elder scrolls wiki's section on running under linux. [20:55] smw: (Insert full vmlinuz-version...) [20:55] Yendor, ok [20:55] One person had the same problem as me, but their solution didn't fix it for me. [20:56] smw: Currently sitting at an (initramfs) prompt [20:56] Yendor, is there a reason not to reinstall? [20:56] I don't know it's all automatic on windows but in Ubuntu it keeps insisting for a share list on my server? [20:56] Yendor, I am not very good with grub either. [20:56] smw: I believe that's the route I'm going to eventually take, because what prompted me to upgrade is that my system was the victim of a 2010-Dec-10 exploit in exim. [20:56] boo_, what is it? [20:57] What do you mean? [20:57] How do i install the ubuntu software center? [20:57] smw: But I do not have backups for the system and I would like to ensure that all my data will be safe by transferring it across my network to my Mac temporarily. [20:57] boo_, "it keeps insisting for a share server" [20:57] Yendor, a bootable disk can do that easily. [20:58] xBlueprint: It should be installed by default. If not you can install it using apt-get. [20:58] lol i was joking [20:58] mindspider: I'd ask in #winehq, you'd probably get more help there [20:58] Same IRC server? [20:58] smw: I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 CD today, but I don't think that's a LiveCD... Unless I'm missing something blindingly obvious. [20:58] mindspider: yes [20:58] Thanks for the help then, drc. [20:59] Yendor, is it the server or desktop one? [20:59] smw: server [20:59] Yendor, you need to download knoppix, dsl, the desktop cd, or somethign else. [20:59] smw: Not to say that I couldn't go grab the desktop one and burn that if that's what I need. [20:59] smw: Also grabbed Knoppix this morning. 1/30/11 release. [20:59] . [21:00] Yendor, just boot up knoppix and you can move files to another computer. [21:00] I can ping another box but I can't get network to see it [21:00] mindspider: for what it's worth, Oblivion has worked perfectly for me under wine x.y.z, badly under wine x.y.z+1, not at all under wine x.y.z+2 and perfectly again under wine x.y.z+3...one never knows [21:01] smw: I'll go boot knoppix now...Hopefully it'll be able to figure out my raid drive.

[21:33] how can i open nautilus from terminal with multiple tabs.I want to add the command to startup applications so i dont have to open it any time i open my pc [21:33] lyger, servers were not made to work with wireless. I do not even recommend installing a desktop without hardwire handy [21:33] I have installed ubuntu within windows using wubi. Now, i want to do a fresh ubuntu install, but i don't want to setup everything again. How can i get the same programs/configs on my new install? [21:34] smw: Thanks for the assistance.

The thing is that I don't have more than 4 GB of memory. [21:36] smw: would it be possible to install ubuntu desktop edition then just remove gdm?

[21:37] lyger, I would not uninstall gnome, I would just boot into text mode [21:37] spyros: to launch it from the terminal: gksudo nautilus [21:37] PROBLEM! I accidentally installed some alsa snapshots for a PAE version of the kernel, but I'm not running a system with more than 4 GB of memory. [21:38] lyger, in setup there is an option to make it available to all users. [21:38] lyger, you can make a wireless connection "available to all users" [21:38] yes of course but how with multiple tabs? for example with /media/mpla/mpla and /home/1/2 [21:39] govori ko hrv?

[22:33] bezhang : yes [22:33] ThinkT510: actually no. i connected to the ubuntu server option this time and am reading 0.0 lag [22:33] jont2383, apt-cache search gdm turns up several [22:33] * cryptic_ have 10mps connect [22:33] shortcut key for changing screen ? [22:33] bazhang : i already have the themes i want to install just cant seem to install them [22:33] cryptic_: do you do a lot of downloading? [22:33] peace-gdm-theme, sabily-gdm-themes, tropic-gdm-theme, ubuntume-gdm-themes jont2383 are what I have found using that [22:33] anyone known? [22:34] jont I am here.. [22:34] yes sure. [22:34] navwey, screen? as in wallpaper? or screen to be used with irssi [22:34] ThinkT510: a fair bit yes === sergio is now known as Guest61889 [22:34] bazhang : i have the GDM theme just dont know how to install it or what directory it goes in [22:35] as in wallpaer [22:35] jont2383, installed from repos? [22:35] so no support for ubuntu OAFIID:gnome_gohome here? [22:35] navwey? do you mean go to a virtual terminal? ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 will bring up virtual terminals, ctrl-alt-F7 will bring you back to gnome [22:35] Mcl0vin, what are you trying to achieve, please clarify [22:35] cryptic_: that would affect it i assume, ubuntu comes with transmission by default and you can set limits in download and upload speed (if you use torrents) [22:35] all you have to do is go to the ubunbtu server and look for the art software download... [22:35] ciao === Guest61889 is now known as lordzhao [22:36] nattyRider, ubuntu server? you mean repos? [22:36] bazhang: since i upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS , every time i log in i keep getting this error "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GoHome"." do you want to delete the panel from your config [22:36] jont, I am talking to you... [22:36] yes.. [22:36] bazhang i just have the tar.gz file for the ogiin window screen with all the .pnp's a .xml file etc and i need to know where to drop all that in the right path or some kinf of login window theme manager/installer [22:36] nattyRider, please tab nicknames or they are lost [22:36] ThinkT510: i use the transmission. currently have nothing running except this tho. no browser open even [22:36] cryptic_: it's probably not lagging now because you're not downloading now [22:37] ok, sure. you got me.. [22:37] nattyRider, like nat brings up your nickname === Sary is now known as Guest76999 [22:37] cryptic_: next time you're getting lag, check if transmission is downloading and see if setting some limits help alleviate the lag [22:38] ok.. i understand. [22:38] bazhang: any idea how to fix it please? [22:38] ThinkT510: turned all else off earlier and was still same. is almost like i disconnect from server after about minute. it will no longer show/accept my commands joins or anything after that first minute or two [22:38] Mcl0vin, still searching, please be patient === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [22:39] cryptic_: hmm, that is odd, wish i could help further [22:39] bazhang: cool thank you, however i searched gnome forums and google but no luck....maybe you will find something i over looked [22:39] 78.46.151.85 root:flood123 [22:39] oh fuck [22:39] bobng, no cursing [22:40] cryptic_: perhaps the guys in #freenode could help if it is irc specific? [22:40] Hi all [22:40] ThinkT510: is okay, will figure it out in time. [22:40] jont2383: if you mean the way you used to be able to customize the login screen, you can't do that after 9.04 (i think, may have been earlier). I used to have a lovely login window, but now the ugly list of users (which i consider a security threat) [22:40] I need some help, I am trying to install Linux but it won't let me move forward [22:40] Sary33, what version of ubuntu [22:40] I'm on a netbook and downloaded the netbook ubuntu, but can't see the very bottom of my screen... [22:40] 10.10 or whathaveyou [22:41] shortcut key for desk2 [22:41] ? [22:41] Sary33, please be precise [22:41] Mcl0vin, are you switching desktop modes? [22:41] Its the most recent version, I believe the numbers are 10.10 [22:41] robdig, really you cant install login screens in 10.10? [22:41] ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 [22:41] ThinkT510: sounds good, just jumped in there and will see if i can dig up an idea or two. have already dug thru modem but still think problem lies with it (i dont like it anyway, maybe i get new one ^-^) [22:41] ThinkT510: thank u again [22:41] Sary33, then alt grab with mouse to move it [22:42] bazhang: i don't know what is that....the issue start to show as soon as i upgrade my destro [22:42] 10.10 = october 2010. they new 11.04, means april 2011, just a fun fact. [22:42] cryptic_: np, hope you get it resolved [22:42] jont2383: no :( [22:42] Ah that was good. But unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem, [22:42] Mcl0vin, moving from netbook to desktop mode for example [22:42] You can know your version just by knowing the date :P [22:42] navwey: do you mean the desktop switcher? ctrl-alt- and ctrl-alt- [22:42] the install says 'ready when you are' and I had to fill in my name/my computers name/password etc. but the Forward button is not clickable [22:42] bazhang: this is an hp mini [22:42] Sary33, then give a precise view of your issues, and what you are attempting then [22:43] yes thank you, I'm fairly sure that's what I did yes? How can I be more precise? [22:43] Sary33, use only lower case [22:43] WOW [22:43] Why did it have check points next to it if it has to be all lowercase? I'm amazed. [22:44] Sary33, in the information, its a bug [22:44] bazhang: how can i switch back and forward [22:44] I agree. The lower-case is a pain [22:44] Sary33, i noticed this myself. Id seems to be something they overlooked. [22:44] Mcl0vin, just confirming your issue, I found a thread on ubuntu forums with a fix if thats it [22:44] Thats too funny, well thanks! Thats all for now [22:44] Yes... My name should be Nictra Savios, unfortunatly.... *sigh*, you can force the upper case letters, but it can lead to a few issues down the road :) [22:45] hahahaha [22:45] bazhang: i am willing to try it [22:45] Awesome. Alright. Hope I won't be back soon :) [22:46] Sary33, when you dig deep into the command line, and your all set up and stable, then you can learn the way to force in those uppercase letters, by the time you ready, you wont need any help in doing so :) [22:46] anyone here using ubuntu 10.10? [22:46] ubuntum0n, i am. [22:46] Mcl0vin, see the last post in this thread, it seems to be applicable perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1135471.html [22:46] ubuntum0n: Many people are. It's best just to ask your actual question. [22:46] ubuntum0n, please ask a real question [22:46] robdig, you can change your login screen using the System -> Administration -> login screen and change it so it doesnt list the users [22:47] im [22:47] nictrasavios, do you have multiple accounts? [22:47] jont2383: cool, thanks. when they first brought this ugly thing up, you couldn't do that. [22:47] are you able to log off and log in? [22:47] ubuntum0n, all on one line, please [22:47] ubuntum0n, yes i do :) 7 infact. [22:47] not a prob [22:48] nictrasavios, i'm having an issue when i log out of an account. the screen just goes black and there isnt a login screen [22:48] robdig, not a problem man... there are stuff out there that says you can change your login theme in 10.10 but i havent been able to figure out how or if there just going off old info [22:49] hi ppl [22:49] whats the linux console equivalent of /p? [22:49] ubuntum0n, hmm. dose it go black to a command line and some text? Or just black black. Is the computer still on or dose it appear shutdown? (sleep, hibernation,etc) [22:49] any 1 near manchester ? [22:49] !ot | SwapOne_GB [22:49] SwapOne_GB: #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! [22:49] ubuntum0n, oh, and what level of user are you? Do you know a litte, or alot about ubuntu? [22:49] linuxNewb: "| less" If I get your question. [22:50] SwapOne_GB: You may find #ubuntu-uk useful. [22:50] nictrasavios, the computer is still running. no command line. not even by hitting 'control+alt+f1' or 'control+alt+f7' [22:50] jont2383: i tried for some time when they first changed it. it was probably the most unpopular change i've seen them make. guess we'll see how unity goes over. maybe we can customize the login with unity? [22:50] thx [22:51] ubuntum0n, have you done any odd customisation? such as messing with somthing known as "gdm" or have you changed the login manager in anyway? [22:51] robdig, hopefully.... not being able to change the login screen in ubuntu 10.10 is stupid decision on their part [22:52] hi I am writing a php scrtipt to manage recieved files from usb, I want to know the list of memory sticks attached to the local pc and then I want to browse them, I have the vague idea that udev is the sh|t for this, but what is your opinion? thanks! === evilpleasure is now known as N0DEH [22:52] ty [22:52] nictrasavios, no. i have version 10.04 on another computer and it runs fine. i just installed 10.10 via wubi on this computer. its also running windows [22:52] irule, no cursing === N0DEH is now known as evilpleasure [22:52] sorry he [22:52] try ##php perhaps irule === \share is now known as share [22:52] ubuntum0n, i want you to go to your terminal, type in "lspci" and paste the results to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [22:53] nictrasavios, thanks. will do [22:53] Guys, i have a problem with my wifi drivers. If I modprobe 'wl' and do an iwconfig, i have a eth1 card and in the network-indicator, wifi is on. If i remove the wl module and modprobe 'b43' and then do iwconfig, i have a wlan1, but the network-indicator says "firmware missing" at the wifi spot [22:53] ubuntum0n, just send the link of the paste when done :) [22:53] Whats up with that? It seems like it is working from iwconfig [22:53] linuxNewb: "|" is a pipe, meaning you take the output from the first command, and send it to the second command, less happens to be a useful pager. [22:54] ChrisBuchholz, what version of ubuntu [22:54] ChrisBuchholz: Ubuntu does not include the firmware needed by the b43 driver because it is not legally redistributable. See the wikipage ubottu's about to link you to for information on getting it. [22:54] !bcm43xx | ChrisBuchholz [22:54] ChrisBuchholz: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [22:54] what does it mean when a script has the shebang line "#!/bin/bash", and permissions 755, and runs fine with the command "bash hello.sh" but gets "bash: Permission denied" when I try to run it as "./hello.sh" [22:54] nictrasavios, its done [22:55] I've got a weird little GL problem. ATI HD 3450 videocard, 2Gb memory, and Pentium Dual Core. Ubuntu 10.10. What should I check when I've got blank GL windows? Xorg.0.log shows the DRI's present and switched on, or so it seems to me. [22:55] bazhang: 11.04, but should be the same [22:55] rww: i have tried installing it! installed the b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer packages [22:55] ChrisBuchholz, natty support in #ubuntu+1 [22:55] GL was previously working, and I don't know what on earth I've done since. [22:55] ubuntum0n: tell us the link :) [22:55] rww: in /lib/firmware i also have the stuff i should have, i believe [22:56] ubuntum0n, alright, i did some research. , can you send me the link to your pastebin [22:56] bazhang: aint natty related. problems persists on maverick also [22:56] ubuntum0n, im 70% sure i know whats causeing it :) === david is now known as Guest53187 [22:56] ChrisBuchholz: I've had odd problems with wl and b43 interacting. But as bazhang says, if you're using 11.04... [22:57] Samba shares configured via nautilus; where's the configuration stored? [22:57] donri: try .gconf (use gconf-editor) I suspect [22:57] rww: okay - i dont use 11.04 - i lied, i use 10.10. [22:58] nictrasavios, thanks for the help [22:58] rww: :) [22:58] if there's any networking gurus please msg me. Im trying to connect a linux box to two lan's wired for connecting to file serving, and wireless for internet. [22:58] ChrisBuchholz: I don't know anything about bcm4312 cards. I lied, I use ethernet for everything. [22:58] when will 11.04 be out? [22:58] hihihi100: end of April [22:59] rww: i've tried in 10.10 also, and if you search on the forums and so, you see people have problems with it on both 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 [22:59] todulchaos: Trying to connect to tow lan's? [22:59] how do I make my 10.10 stop initializing every session as root? i cannot access trash or external hard drives [23:00] todulchaos: Can you re-phrase the question? === miguel is now known as Guest85288 [23:01] *two [23:01] could someone please take a look at my forum thread :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1710337 [23:02] ubuntum0n, alright, try turning off desktop effects. Its a problem with your graphics card, from looking through about 10-15 pages, i cannot find a solution. Most reinstalled... no word on if it helped or not. It seems many people have had this problem, Try looking for drivers for your hardware, i am ,personally, not knowlageable on drivers. But i from what i can see, your issue has everything to do with xwindows not starting properly [23:02] after a session has ended. One workaround for it is, instead of logging off, switch users instead. Although a little less secure, this may help. You said your running under a wubi install? This may be part of it. Although thats only an educated guess. [23:02] got it mostly figured out now, thx again. problem mostly lack of coffee, and homework :)) [23:02] nictrasavios, ok. thanks alot. i'll check it out [23:03] i'm trying to find the files that belong to libgeos!? where are they? [23:03] find command [23:04] Can someone explain this error I'm getting? http://paste.ubuntu.com/582683/ [23:04] nictrasavios, one more thing: the login screen will display correctly after a boot. but if you log off, blackness. the only resolve is to reboot (hassle but livable) [23:04] i'm trying to find the files that belong to libgeos!? where are they? [23:04] theamazingbeat: Well, I don't know for sure, but I suppose you could ditch Win7 and just use nfs. [23:05] Cube``: dpkg -L packagename will show where every file associated with packagename went [23:05] bastidrazor: thanks! [23:06] Cube``: you're welcome [23:06] ubuntum0n: nictrasavios Not sure what you guys are experiencing, but, you have just a black screen. Right? What happens if you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 or Ctrl-Alt-F5 ? [23:07] terry, i belive he said that didnt work, let me read back a bit. [23:07] terry, he tried cntl+alt+f1 and cntl+al+f7. [23:08] terry, nothing happens. just black screen [23:08] ubuntum0n: nictrasavios And does this behaviour also exist when loging out from the original user? [23:09] ya that is not going to happen lol [23:09] If you've issued the command "sudo sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:12.2" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind' is it possible to reverse it? And if you try to set read permissions on /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind, how can the resulting broken file be repaired? I just don't know how to reverse the changes that I think completely broke my kernel after trying to do update-grub && update-initramfs -u [23:09] nictrasavios: Yea, but it may have already been on cntl+alt+f1 and cntl+al+f7 I would try one of the others between f1 and f7 [23:09] terry, yes. it boots up fine. shows login screen with users. logs in fine. but when i log out to change users it just goes to a black screen. hangs or something [23:10] rww: so if i tell you that i have asked on #ubuntu+1 but no one answers, could that talk you over? [23:11] ChrisBuchholz: I'm aware, I'm sitting in #ubuntu+1. I'm not answering because Ubuntu moved around firmware packages in Maverick and Natty, and I don't have a BCM4312 card and thus don't know what they did. [23:11] ubuntum0n: That is interesting. What about ctrl-alt-f8 ? [23:11] ChrisBuchholz: (I switched the one I had for a card that doesn't need non-free software installed.) [23:11] terry, i've tried them all f1-f12 [23:11] <|asp> Hi, anyone using ZFS in Ubuntu? [23:11] ubuntum0n: Ok... [23:11] <|asp> trying to mount a zfs volume which I moved over from an opensolaris. The KQStor ZFS doesn't have the shareiscsi or iscsi target available so I'm trying to figure out how to share the volume as an iscsi target [23:12] terry, ubuntum0n i did some digging, its a common issue, that it appears to have not been solved [23:13] ubuntum0n: I think I would, at that point, ssh in from another PC and see what is running or not running. Like ps aux |grep gdm or ps aux |grep X [23:13] terry, what i'd like to do is just put 10.04 Lucid Lynx on this system. its a compaq thats running windows xp. i've got an ubuntu cd, configured bios to boot from cd first, but it still goes to windows. [23:14] rww: ah i see. [23:14] ubuntum0n: That's what I run [23:15] LTS [23:15] yes [23:15] i've got it on my other system [23:15] nickserv [23:16] terry, with this system not wanting to boot from cd, do you think i may have a bad .iso image on the disk? [23:16] how can i add line every 10 lines in text file? [23:17] cross-posting is frowned upon, dude. [23:17] My latest kernel will no longer boot passed the initial splash screen ever since running update-burg && update-initramfs -u. Have to consistently boot into previous kernel. How to diagnose? [23:18] Why do I, when I click on a folder in my "Places", I get a box saying "No application is registered as handling this file"? [23:19] fr00g: create a folder>right clic>open with other>open folder [23:19] fr00g: Probably because it's a directory and not a file....? [23:19] hi, is there a way I can tune IO on Ubuntu? [23:19] No, it's supposed to open Nautilus [23:19] ccvvcc: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/System/sedoneliner.htm?ref=news.rdf [23:19] Anyone here have any experience getting the gnome3-team PPA working on a natty install to run gnome-shell?

When I run Simpletest or any other IO intensive operations it's just 2 or 3 times slower that my previous 3 years old box with 7200rpms as well. Is there anything I can do to check IO config on my box. Maybe it's configured incorrectly or something [23:21] I ran sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo update-burg and since then the kernel will not boot passed splashscreen. I have to boot into the previous kernel, but afraid to try to update it as well for fear that a configuration file got messed up. How can I diagnose the problem? [23:21] gansbrest_: ugh. Sounds ugly === erkan^ is now known as ubuntu^ === ubuntu^ is now known as erkan^ [23:23] gansbrest_, I don't think there is anything that's ready out of the box. You could read the source code or write your own app to measure the performance. It would be hard. === Guest21150 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest3777 [23:26] My latest kernel is broken after running sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo update-burg. I only have guesses about what might have broke it, but I have no idea how to diagnose it or get my new kernel to boot passed splashscreen. [23:27] How can I look into the problem? [23:27] hello [23:27] welcome [23:28] linux-header-[versionnumber]-generic are the stuff that appear in GRUB, right? [23:29] gluonman_, turn off splash in the grub entry. read what is written [23:29] edbian, kk thank you I'll do that. [23:29] may be [23:29] gluonman_, good luck! [23:32] i need help with it [23:33] the best i found is sed '/perl/G [23:33] hey all, do someone know how to install 2.6.38 ?

[23:36] I have an EC2 instance [23:36] and I am using 10.10 as my Desktop [23:36] Why doesn't it take when I try to change the owner to mysql using: chown -HR mysql:mysql Data [23:36] iqpi: if I wanted to compile my own kernel, how do I know which .config is now running on my box so I can make oldconfig of it ? [23:37] I would love to be able to download log files to my deskop using a GUI [23:37] is this possible without changing permissions? [23:37] iqpi: and will I lose my gl/compiz/vbox/etc... kernel modules dead ? [23:38] rattlebone: most files in /var/log are readable by all [23:38] I'm looking for a twiiter app that works with their oauth support. I've tried others but havent been able to connect [23:38] HelloWorld321: what user id are you when you issue the chown? if not root, then put sudo in front of it [23:38] kpoman: you wont loose anything, but you will have to rebuild them to run with that kernel [23:38] I'm root [23:39] kpoman: just reinstalling the driver [23:39] how can i add line every 10 lines in text file? [23:39] iqpi: so basically I will lose the deb / synaptic / updates / etc ability [23:39] does anyone know that path to the login theme directory [23:39] ccvvcc: you were already given an answer. === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [23:39] HelloWorld321: and Data is a sym link to the real data directory? [23:39] rattlebone: please keep your responses in channel. [23:39] i didnt find it there.. [23:39] kpoman: no, you wont loose that [23:39] robdig: No, but I'd like to do that next.

[23:40] \n.* X 10 [23:40] [thor], yeah i'be been trying for tha past 12 hours to figure it out [23:40] <[thor]> jont2383: you can find a package on http//www.launchpad.net called "gdm2setup" but the "themes" tab is disabled until the gnome team can decide on a standard for theming [23:41] what's a good twitter app that works with oauth? [23:41] nictrasavios, let me get my second harddrive hooked up, i have everything you need there. [23:41] nictrasavios, what is it please ? [23:41] I was able to do this using winscp on windows...it put a sudo su- in front of each action.... [23:41] [thor], thanks for that info bud [23:41] canti_: ubuntu comes with gwibber [23:41] logs are just an example... [23:41] jont2383, give me a minute, i have to figure it out. [23:41] robdig: I get no message when I run the chown. When I check the permissions (as root in Nautilus), I still see the owner of Data as "root" [23:41] just a last question, how do I know if I run x386 or amd64 ? [23:41] <[thor]> jont2383: the most you can do is change the background image, but not the position/shape/etc of the prompt/menubar [23:42] ccvvcc: You'll want to use awk or a loop in a full language like python (or even a for loop in bash). [23:42] kpoman: uname -m .. x86_64 is 64bit.. anything else is 32bit [23:42] kpoman: run uname -r [23:42] HelloWorld321: maybe nautilus hasn't updated? hit f5 [23:42] 2.6.35-27-generic [23:42] kpoman: if you see something about x86_64 = 64 bits, if you see i386 then x32 [23:42] [thor], thats ok thats fine with me for now [23:42] ok so x386 [23:43] jont2383, alright, ill send you a link to a deb of an login theme, you can take that apart, full instructions are with it okay? [23:43] nictrasavios, thanks man [23:43] <[thor]> nictrasavios: post here please, i'd like to look as well [23:43] robdig: owner is still root. If I try to change owner in Nautilus, then it changes right back to root, instantly [23:44] just go to a shel & use chmod [23:44] jont2383, [thor] alright :) just give me a second. [23:44] to change any root or user [23:44] jont2383, [thor] this is much faster then explaining it all to you, http://www.mediafire.com/?7dbegie4yj01xhi [23:44] HelloWorld321: if filesystem local to your machine? [23:45] :s/if/is/ [23:45] nictrasavios, thanks man [23:45] HelloWorld321: Alt+F2 then gksudo nautilus ::that will give nautilus permissions to write/read anything. be careful [23:45] The Data folder is on a mounted Vista NTFS partition on the same HD [23:45] jont2383, read the odt file with it, in contains a wealth of knowlage. [23:45] smw: installed ubu [23:46] yes me [23:46] ubu 10.10 [23:46] HelloWorld321: i've had problems writing to ntfs as root on my machine... [23:46] someone want to help me with this bash script? It says that I have a "bad for loop variable", but I can't figure out exactly what that means. http://pastebin.com/Kbj5fKc1 @line 57 Thanks! [23:47] I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver [23:47] robdig, why did you set your root partition to ntfs? [23:47] You've got $HOURS<=$1, don't need the $ on $HOURS [23:48] nictrasavios: i didn't. it is mounted off my home directory. but if i'm the root user, then i have issues writing to the ntfs disk [23:48] ok installed gonna try it out [23:48] php [23:48] 01tek.tk [23:48] robdig, ubuntu version? [23:48] nictrasavios: 10.10 [23:49] I'm trying to make a symlink to a folder but instead of making the folder the symlink it adds an symlink to the folder in that folder [23:49] WaterRatj: what are you using/ [23:49] ? [23:49] nictrasavios: but i'm not having an issue, was trying to help HelloWorld321 who couldn't change permissions on one of his directories [23:49] I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver [23:49] robdig, i have no idea why you would have any ntfs issues on 10.10 .. hmm. [23:49] robdig, oh alright. [23:49] robdig: when I try to change the owner (as root from inside Nautus), the menu shows "mysql-MySQL Server" .... do I need to "chown mysql:mysql" or do I need to "chown mysql-MySQL Server:mysql" ? [23:50] ln -s /home/waterratj/Dropbox/MyFolder /waterratj [23:50] Viking667: that didnt fix it. The function runs fine if I cut it out and run it in a different script, I just cant figure out why it wont run here. [23:50] WaterRatj: normally that'd create a link into Myfolder from /waterratj [23:50] HelloWorld321, the 1st one is always the main user, the 2nd is the group. user:group , for me its nictrasavios:bAdGigabit , as i am user "nictrasavios" in group "bAdGigait" [23:50] nerdy_kid: hm? Which function's that? [23:51] HelloWorld321, nictrasavios i don't really know, don't have vista to play with. not that i'm complaining. nictrasavios any thoughts? [23:51] It made a new symlink to the Myfolder in /waterratj but thats not what I want [23:51] then what is it you want? [23:51] Viking667: the time_convert function [23:51] I want /waterratj to be the symlink of that myfolder, not a folder in that [23:51] Hi all, [23:51] robdig, okay so whats the issue, are his / and /home in ext2/3/4 , and something else in ntfs? Or did he put his root partitons as ntfs? [23:51] WaterRatj: does /waterratj exist? [23:51] I seem to be running into some confusion from running the netbook remix version of ubuntu 10.10 rather than the regular version, [23:52] does anyone else run the netbook remix? [23:52] I created it then did that ls thing [23:52] thesary, i did for a few weeks. [23:52] thesary, whats the question [23:52] I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver [23:52] nictrasavios: the mysql data directory he is trying to chmod is on vista ntfs. and he can't chmod, even as root [23:52] nictrasavios: is the user "mysql"? or is it "mysql-MySQL Server" and if it's the latter, how do I put in spaces and dashes for a username? [23:52] try this: rm /waterratj; ln -s /home/waterratj/dropbox/MyFolder /waterratj [23:52] I'm trying to get into "System" to go fuck with my mouse settings and that sort of thing... I can't right click, and theres no menu bar at the top where the ubuntu 10.10 tells me to get to it [23:52] thesary, no cursing here [23:53] then ls -l /waterratj [23:53] Sorry! [23:53] root@ubuntu:/windows/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5# sudo chown -R mysql:mysql Data [23:53] ... is what I'm using to try to change the owner of my "Data" folder to "mysql" [23:53] HelloWorld321, dont count my word as god, but i belive windows compondents handle their permissions differently then linux dose. [23:53] nictrasavios: that makes quite a bit of sense [23:53] I am having trouble using the wireless capability on my wireless internet card, in the past i have installed the driver and it showed me the signal strength of the individual networks but did not let me log on, i either used the rt3090 or rt5090 driver [23:53] oooo crikey. [23:54] HelloWorld321, i know personally, if i change the permission of a file in windows to "root" when i logg into windows, it dosent change a thing. === derp is now known as derp|gone [23:54] compiz [23:55] nvm [23:55] HelloWorld321, nictrasavios: this link is kinda what i remembered when i had some issues with ntfs long ago...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347923 [23:55] nictrasavios: here's my actual problem. When I installed ubuntu, I wasn't able to shrink the Vista partition, so I need to get my big files (like databases) into the larger Vista partition. The instructions for how to do that include using chown, but the chown never takes. [23:55] hm. I've got a rt73usb device, how do I tickle that into HostAP mode? [23:55] oh, hang on ... that's a google question. [23:55] mictrasavios: I'm following these instructions http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-move-mysql-databases-to-another-location-partition-or-hard-drive [23:56] I'll go check robdig's thread [23:56] Viking667: nvm, the script was using /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash so that was throwing the error [23:56] edbian, all I got after removing the splash screen is the following: "[ 4.616230] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device \ [ 4.621557] uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xfb000000, mapped to 0xffffc90011800000, using 14336k, total 14336k \ [ 4.621560] fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device" Then it just gave me a login prompt (command-line only). Does that give you any clue what might be wrong with my kernel? [23:56] HelloWorld321: I believe it can be made if you mount your ntfs disk with other mount options [23:56] Because it doesn't give me any clue. [23:56] HelloWorld321, sadly i gotta be off, see if you 2 can solve it , i bet your getting close, ill send a friend in. Hes a multisystem expert. I work in a cluster. Just do not ask for his name. [23:57] HelloWorld321, nictrasavios: but that link did get me thinking, and i checked and i set the ownership in the mount command now in fstab [23:57] Viking667: Thanks [23:57] gluonman, login and type sudo gdm [23:58] robdig: you can include a user and group name on the mount of an ntfs mount. but it changes all files to that uid:gid [23:58] edbian, kk I'll do that, then I'll be back after. [23:58] I did put my Vista partition in the ftab, and did mount -a ... [23:58] # NTFS Windows VistapPartition (?)

[23:58] HelloWorld321: Like adding fmask=0111 or similar, trry google there are plenty of hits [23:58] I was called to Freenode chatroom #ubuntu by the one known as nictrasavios. My brother informed me of an issue, how may i be of service. [23:58] Also Anyone else have problems with the notification area of ubuntu?

How do I fix this? [23:59] Ubuntu 9.10 seems to work fine on my system. 10.10 shuts the system down randomly, but always after only a few minutes of being booted up. AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+ CPU, 3 gig ram, Nvidia graphics card. Where do I start looking for the issue? [23:59] scarleo: is umask=8 the same as fmask=0111?
