I am knowlageable in Unix, Linux and DOS systems, aswell as all their roots. [00:01] bAdSystems, you have turned on a accessability option that allows for controlling of the mouse via the keyboard. [00:01] HelloWorld321, what seems to be your issue. [00:01] astley: I'm not sure what your situation is, but sounds like you need an application to control your wireless connections. If that is the case, I would suggest installing wicd. sudo apt-get install wicd [00:02] bAdSystems: I have a big Vista partition, and I need to get my big files (like mysql databases) onto my big Vista NTFS partition [00:02] HelloWorld321: I believe umask=000 would give you full permissions so it might be fine for temporary [00:02] HelloWorld321, why not resize the partitions? or e [00:02] scarleo, wouldn't 777 be full permissions?

[00:06] the card's software is for windows only. [00:06] Nocturnal, You have flashblock installed in firefox. Turn it off [00:06] !paste > zhxk [00:06] zhxk, please see my private message [00:07] HelloWorld321, this stinks of a problem i had on my very first ubuntu installation.

So your moving the database from one linux to the next? I belive NS said you were trying to move it to windows? [00:09] I'm trying umask=000, and the "service mysql start" is taking forever [00:09] fire away brock somebody will try [00:10] Both partitions are NTFS. That's how the installer set it up. The other partition runs Vista. [00:10] heard mongodb is great [00:10] i have a asus laptop running ubuntu 10.10 and my webcam and microphone do not work [00:10] Sterist, ubuntu can not be ported to android. One linux distro can't be ported to another. [00:10] HelloWorld321: are you putting production db's on NTFS? [00:10] anyone willing to help me too, please? [00:10] Jancsy-: What do you need help with? [00:11] HelloWorld321, i could not make out his words, he seems in a hurry. But if he was correct, then i must inform you that you cannot simply "copy and paste" your database from one system to the next. Only if the systems are of the same operating system. [00:11] jwandborg: i have a gigabyte gt p6000 pci tv card which has only windows software [00:11] phoenix: still in dev, and behind a big fat firewall .... but that would be next. Why?

[00:11] HelloWorld321, you would have to export your database, rebuild your configuration, then import your database back in. === nick is now known as Star_Light [00:11] Jancsy-:did you contact the Manufacturer? [00:11] astley: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1680039 [00:11] bAdSystems: I see. [00:12] Jancsy-: Have you tried Wine? [00:12] astley: Is this a laptop? [00:12] nope, i don't see any importance. [00:12] yes, i tried. [00:12] terry: yes [00:12] HelloWorld321, with but few exceptions, you cannot simply take somthing working in linux, and copy it into windows. For more reasons then it is worth listing. [00:12] astley: Looks like your wireless device is not supported. You might try trading it for another [00:12] jwandborg I don't think wine is does drivers that well are you sure on that one? [00:13] I guess I'll leave my files where they are, then. [00:13] rbnswartz: Not at all, just out of the blue. (cc Jancsy-) [00:13] rbnswarts yes i have tried and it does not work [00:13] actually wine could do nothing :)) [00:13] rbnswarts it says no device found [00:13] someone told me that VLC could help me, but I don't have any idea how. i'm too new on ubuntu :) [00:14] HelloWorld321, if at all possible, i would find a equal or better to all your windows needs, then delete vista and become a "pure" ubuntu user. As someone who uses all three systems everyday... i can say with great confidence that windows is, and always will be, a horrible system to its very core. From the kernel to the userland, it wreaks of horrible code. [00:14] terry: thats not true, i had it working before, but the driver disappeard...i forgot how i did so in the first place [00:14] Jancsy-: I'm having a hard time trying to see how VLC would help you with driver problems. [00:14] astley: Oh, ok... Well look at this: http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/wifi-card-ralink-5390-configuration-in-ubuntu-10-10-64-bit/ [00:14] :) [00:14] brock then you don't have the driver. Depending on who made it and what device it is there might not be a linux driver [00:15] edbian, so I got the following: http://pastebin.com/R5L1hPxe [00:15] HelloWorld321, windows was never ment to be used in todays world, it was build to be a stand alone system, with no internet. You set it up, and use it. Everything put into it was ment to be put in via CD or other input. Thus, it cannot survive in a modern world. [00:15] rbnswarts how would i go about getting the driver [00:16] astley: http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/ralink-rt3090-rt5390-pcie-wireless-lan-linux-driver-for-ubuntu-10-10.html [00:16] HelloWorld321, if you must use it, i suggest virtual box. Anyway , i must take my leave. I am needed elsewhere. [00:17] jwandborg: so, any chances to make it work? [00:17] brock If the restricted drivers tool can't find anything and google draws up a blank you might have to wait till someone writes one. [00:17] how to install the 'import' command? [00:17] Jancsy-: you should forget any chances to get multimedia work properly on linux, its a pain [00:18] heh [00:18] no [00:18] thanks anyway:) [00:18] no what?

[01:07] th0r: http://pastebin.com/y5p8JGYS [01:07] MnCC: Is this a server you are working on? [01:07] how do you switch to root? [01:07] green__, you can check the /var/log/apt/history.log for list of apps that were upgraded/installed., also, maybe you need a reboot [01:07] terry, nope: just my laptop .. [01:07] !sudo [01:07] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:07] Nicolas_Leonidas: sudo -i [01:07] Nicolas_Leonidas: sudo su - [01:07] it all works up to the time zone. Is there any way to bypass that step and set it up later? [01:08] astley: looks like the 'make' didn;t work....you probably got errors when you tried to compile the module [01:08] MnCC: Why are you installing clamav? [01:08] k [01:08] !virus | MnCC [01:08] MnCC: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:09] terry: I wanna create a luncher on desktop to run that command, it doesn't work when I click on it nothing happens [01:09] terry: thats exactly my problem .. i deal with windows computers in my line of work .. [01:09] niteshade, if you have another computer with Ubuntu, you could create a USB start disc and install Ubuntu from there [01:10] MnCC: I deal with windows computers too, but find not need for antivirus software. Where would we get the virus software to pass on to a Window computer in the first place? [01:10] question, I have an ubuntu 10.10 server and if I reboot or gracefully power it off, when I turn it back on it boots right up, but if it is hard powered down and I turn it back on it hangs at the grub menu waiting for user input, no countdown or anything, is there a way to ensure it always boots up? [01:10] MnCC, sudo apt-get install clamav than when thats done go to softprdia and get clamtk [01:11] hiexpo: thats already done, i need to upgrade my gui and engine [01:11] th0r: i did make again... [01:11] now what? [01:11] astley: I don't do much programming or compiling....did you get any errors in the make? [01:12] mongy, what am i looking for in there? [01:12] th0r: no [01:12] astley: then try 'sudo make install' [01:12] MnCC, oh ya ubuntu only has the 95 issue need the 97 one sec let me find it [01:12] terry: i create thinapp packages, i dont want an av on my windows vm , and i need to make sure they are clean (better safe than sorry) [01:12] th0r: yup i did that...do i have to restart? [01:12] astley: if there are no errors, try 'sudo modprobe rt5390sta' [01:12] green__, any packages that were upgraded from the compiz ppa [01:13] MnCC: Oh, ok. [01:13] green__, just go through it and mark them force package version [01:13] i used avg for a while .. but no gui .. it gets anoying after a while .. [01:14] clamav/clamtk is enough [01:14] if you really need one [01:14] I ran update-initramfs -u && update-burg in kernel 2.6.35-27 and then after rebooting, the kernel woudn't boot passed the splashscreen. I just installed kernel 2.6.35-28 hoping I could forget about it and move on, but it's broken in the same way. I have a configuration issue, and I have no idea what it is. How can I fix my latest kernels? [01:15] mongy, i have that .. just need to upgrade the gui / engine .. cant find out how .. [01:15] MnCC, gui and engine are irrelevant. database is upto date, thats all thats important [01:16] ,omgy, im there buy i don't really know what in looking for [01:16] th0r: now i can view netowrks but i cant use my keyring how do i do this rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring [01:16] but [01:16] astley: enter that in a terminal [01:17] mongy, as that is entirely true .. i just want to know [01:17] th0r: i get this error http://pastebin.com/hvgLLquT [01:17] i have all the stop signs in clam .. screaming to update [01:18] MnCC, you get gui from sourceforge. engine is updated in repo. anything newer you can get the source and compile yourself if you are paranoid. [01:18] MnCC, i can send you latest deb [01:18] MnCC, with freshclam you will have up to date virus defs, which is all that matters [01:19] its not possible to have a .file and .dir/ of the same name in a dir? [01:19] astley: you don't have a default keyring....probably because that command worked the first time you tried it [01:19] th0r: i get this error http://pastebin.com/hvgLLquT [01:19] hiexpo, ok [01:19] th0r: i use the right password letter for letter number for number, but it still doesn't work [01:20] azizLIGHTS, yes, you can [01:20] MnCC, take it [01:20] azizLIGHTS: why not? [01:20] hi there [01:20] hiexpo: figuring out how =) [01:20] astley: I don't know where to go with that. I never did get wpa to work right in linux....and I tried several different distros [01:20] so a file called .dropbox and a dir called .dropbox can exist in /home/ubuntu? [01:21] azizLIGHTS: yes, are you trying to create them? [01:21] bastidrazor: no im trying to rename [01:21] hiexpo: autoget .. its starting [01:22] MnCC, ok [01:22] astley: put the question to the channel.....someone else here probably can help with that [01:22] how do i rename the dir ".dropbox (Conflicted Copy)/" to ".dropbox", it wont even tab complete [01:22] hello [01:23] MnCC, it timed out gonna resend it [01:23] azizLIGHTS: oh, i thought you meant a .file inside of directory .file .. no a filename can not be the same as a directory [01:23] hiexpo: ok [01:23] oh. [01:23] why not?? [01:24] azizLIGHTS: because a directory is really a file to begin with.

[01:33] just one the wep code on the bottom of my router bazhang [01:33] induz, but, your choice.

[01:59] joxx, if you just set up ubuntu, maybe it just needs to fill up the local DNS resolving cache; does the same page load faster the second time? perhaps the entire site had been cached before (images, etc) now you have to wait for them to load for the first time? [01:59] i have already asked in the german ubuntu chan, but i repeate the question here again. how to restart the pulseaudio daemon after shutting down with pulseaudio -k? [01:59] @thor -- I know how to get to my applications by itself, I just don't know how to select one on firefox for it to use that one [02:00] <[thor]> exs: isn't it just "puseaudio" with no arguements?

[02:04] aaaoooaaa: no [02:04] I am just trying to find a program I just installed (Vuze) from the file selection offered under mozilla firefox open file selection [02:04] so like... go into firefox, try to download a torrent, click "Other" under what to open the file with, [02:04] and it brings up this standard looking folder selection, [02:04] aaaoooaaa: u need LAN card with ADSL connection === Timic_ is now known as Timic [02:04] well... it has my username, desktop, file system, documents, media, etc. but not applications over on the left [02:04] and I can't for the life of me find what folder applications must be inside of somewhere in there [02:04] <[thor]> follow clayton's advice maybe, i use neither firefox, nor vuze [02:04] or how to get there from what i'm looking at [02:05] <[thor]> <-- chrome ++ deluge [02:05] researcher1: i thought adsl ran off twisted pair? [02:05] I'm sorry.. clayton? [02:05] aaaoooaaa: actually im using this way [02:05] <[thor]> 210206< clayton> @Fae: go into edit>preferences then the application tab and search for torrent then you can select what program to open it with [02:05] Guest33782: Something like: dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/hd-image.iso ; growiso -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/hd-image.iso [02:06] Well okay... [02:06] Guest33782: Something like: dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/hd-image.iso ; growiso -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/hd-image.iso ; rm /tmp/hd-image.iso [02:06] I suppose that will allow me to open it up with vuze, but what I really want to know [02:06] is where the applications folder is located [02:07] <[thor]> Fae: is it installed as a linux app? or are you using wine to run it? [02:07] its a linux app [02:07] Thanks Terry..!! thats all I need to do?! [02:07] anyone know how to prevent kernel updates from overwriting the mbr? [02:08] Im thinking of this like windows right? Applications are going to be in C:/Program Files/ [02:08] <[thor]> Fae: this is only a guess, but possibly installed to /usr/bin/ ? [02:08] @Fae: applications in ubuntu are in various locations. if you go to the command line and type: 'which vuze' it should give you the full path to the program [02:08] isnt there some like... path that applications are standard installed in? [02:08] hm I will check there [02:08] Guest33782: That will probably do it. (long as /dev/dvd is soft link to the DVD burner, and there is a blank dvd in it. etc. [02:08] is it safe to move all my files in ~ to another-dir/, and then just ln -s /another-dir/whateverfile /home/ubuntu/whateverfile and expect things to work correctly? [02:08] <[thor]> Fae: clayton has this sewn up.. listen to him. [02:09] researcher1: what are you using again, in what way? [02:09] oh Clayton! Thats exactly what I was looking for [02:09] aaaoooaaa: ADSL router with LAN card [02:09] Thank you thank you thank you, thats what I wanted to know [02:09] and I will still go in and change the preferences for this purpose. Thanks! [02:10] @Fae: no prop [02:10] researcher1: yeah thats pretty much what i have(adsl router + ethernet router) [02:10] processus thrads ? [02:11] researcher1: but im curious, i grew up in the days of dial up, and am just curious if there is a software adsl modem out there that will work with dial-up modems that are still shipped with mobos [02:11] when I do 'net setauthuser' am I supposed to give it a domain administrator account?

[02:28] or what is the best way to verify what ubuntu came up with for my use flags? [02:28] how to make stardict autostart minimized to the notification area at startup? what is the command I need to use? [02:28] vantage, Because you can't. [02:28] ??? [02:28] vantage, man sudo [02:28] how can i verify my use flags or what is the best way to edit make.conf? [02:28] processus thrads ? [02:28] vantage: sudo su [02:29] GaryD, What I mean, is does your user have any chromium sessions open? [02:29] processus thrads ? [02:29] processus thrads ? [02:29] processus thrads ? [02:29] processus thrads ? [02:29] garyd thanks [02:29] UcefKH, ask an actual question [02:29] I have 3 instances as my user [02:29] Hello.. [02:29] GaryD, Shut Chromium completely down and see if those root sessions close... [02:29] network manager wont allow me access to wireless networks, so i installed the divers, and i was able to view them, but when i attempted the wep key it didn't work, so i turned wep and it still wont connect with maximum signal strength. it wont connect tomopen networks either [02:30] vantage: if you look at the samba package in synaptic package manager, you can view all files installed by the package. [02:30] network manager wont allow me access to wireless networks, so i installed the drivers, and i was able to view the networks, but when i attempted the wep key it didn't work, so i turned wep off and it still wont connect with maximum signal strength. it wont connect to open networks either [02:30] GaryD there is a make.conf right... ? [02:30] !parroting [02:31] sorry i had to correct my spelling [02:31] GaryD, also it should be something like sudo -i/s. never sudo su [02:31] syn-ack: they are gone, but why would there be 7 instances started by root, when I have 3 as user, and I am only using 1? [02:32] GaryD, Don't know. Never had that happen here. [02:32] syn-ack: thanks for the correction. I am not too much of an expert on the terminal yet. I have always just used sudo....but I have used sudo su. [02:32] For whatever reason Firefox is no longer placing my videos in /tmp. Where can I find them? youtube-dl doesn't support the format apparently. [02:33] I actually never log in as su. i did once or twice back in the day. [02:33] sorry i had to correct my spelling [02:33] network manager wont allow me access to wireless networks, so i installed the drivers, and i was able to view the networks, but when i attempted the wep key it didn't work, so i turned wep off and it still wont connect with maximum signal strength. it wont connect to open networks either [02:33] Starminn, why not just use video download helper addon [02:33] garyd is ubuntu's core way different from other distros like gentoo/slackware? [02:33] GaryD, su doesn't set root's environment, whereas sudo -i, which would be similar to su - does. [02:34] vantage, yes and no. [02:34] astley, repeat every 15 minutes or so please, not two [02:34] ,-O [02:34] O(_)) ubuntu [02:34] -hrr- `-O [02:34] anyone worked with SD cards recently? Mine don't seem to be registering with my T61 laptop [02:34] ok [02:34] syn-ack is anything handled via terminal on ubuntu?? [02:34] gbear14275: same, 'cept it's not a t61. i have a usb card reader as a work around [02:35] vantage, I have multiple terminals open on my system(S) every day. [02:35] syn-ack i meant for configurations purposes [02:35] I do too. [02:35] deww, work around... meaning you couldn't get the ricoh card reader working? [02:36] gbear14275: yeah [02:36] deww, dang... [02:36] gbear14275: same with my netbook. i didn't really try anything, just noticed the cards dont pick up. these are all sdhc cards i have [02:36] @gbear: unplug the card (if it's plugged in) and then plug it in and type into the terminal: "dmesg | tail" that's the kernel log, there should be something there about it being plugged in and maybe an error [02:36] this one is 4GB so I'm guessing it is sdhc [02:37] vantage: to the best of my knowledge....yes. Even debian and ubuntu differ a lot. [02:37] like I said. Yes and No. [02:37] clayton, no dmesg... thats not good :( [02:38] vantage: you can configure anything on ubuntu in the terminal. gui applications are just using "terminal" commands in the background. [02:39] gbear14275: use /var/log/messages instead of dmesg [02:39] gbear14275: Also, I had a T61p and never had an issue with the card reader, so this should be figured out. [02:40] raido, no messages since my last USB connect [02:41] grindcrusher: do this $sudo tail -f /var/log/messages then unplug and replug the card while watching the terminal [02:41] gbear14275: do this $sudo tail -f /var/log/messages then unplug and replug the card while watching the terminal [02:41] doh! [02:41] raido: you don't need sudo for that. [02:42] bastidrazor: oh, ok [02:42] ווער עס יז קענען רעדן ייִדיש? === derp|gone is now known as derp [02:43] raido, no luck, and I even plugged in another device to make sure messages were showing up [02:43] gbear14275, have you tried another card? [02:44] like a different SD card? [02:44] gbear14275: are you sure your memory card is functional [02:44] syn-ack, don't have another, and raido this card works in the camera it came out of [02:45] network manager wont allow me access to wireless networks, so i installed the drivers, and i was able to view the networks, but when i attempted the wep key it didn't work, so i turned wep off and it still wont connect with maximum signal strength. it wont connect to open networks either [02:46] gbear14275: Have you ever successfully used a card on the t61 [02:46] raido, yes, i have read cards from here before but i remember it being buggy [02:47] I had to play with it to get it working, but I don't recall where I found the howto's and such [02:47] astley: are you using a livecd/usb? [02:47] raido, that was an sd card though... not a sdhc card [02:47] syrinx: no [02:47] oh [02:47] gbear14275: oh, there may indeed be a hardware limitation to sd on that chipset [02:48] i'm trying to look now [02:48] gbear14275: I do believe that SDHC is not supported on that hardware [02:48] anyone run into a wacky issue where rfkill is enabled when 10.10 is installed? Never had issues until my current installation. [02:49] gbear14275: so you will have to get a reader, or connect your camera by USB [02:49] raido, did you find dcumentation? or just recalling? [02:49] raido, you're probably right, but was curious [02:49] gbear14275: you just jogged my memory, Im pretty sure its the case === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax === Skyline is now known as Guest80487 [02:52] gbear14275: this seems to say it should work, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70881 [02:52] syrinx: no [02:52] syrinx: no [02:52] network manager wont allow me access to wireless networks, so i installed the drivers, and i was able to view the networks, but when i attempted the wep key it didn't work, so i turned wep off and it still wont connect with maximum signal strength. it wont connect to open networks either [02:52] astley: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:53] anyone have an idea to reduce choppy TV playback from Kaffeine? i don't have this problem in Windows. MythTV just logs me out when I try to watch TV, so that doesn't work either [02:54] what's the currently released kernel for Ubuntu 10.10? [02:54] raido, yeah, and I just looked at lspci -vv and it says it has a sdhci-pci driver so...???

[03:24] hi ...I know I've pissed some people off b/c I asked for help with a EOL version ,BUT I am now up to Karmic...but Java is really pissing me off. Any ideas where log files are kept for Java? I checked /var/log [03:25] I had a bad .iso of Ubuntu 10.10, so I downloaded a new one. [03:25] it came down at 726 megs...too big to put on a CD.

It could be the card and/or the combination of the card+adaptor [03:28] the QUESTION is: why the eff is ubuntu 10.10 TOO BIG to put on a CD? when the download page explicitly SAYS that you use the download to make a CD?? [03:28] thanks, yeah that would help narrow the problem. I'll see if I can find another one. Anyways, good night === dpac_ is now known as dpac [03:34] crisis averted. thanks for letting me rant.

[03:58] k, overclucker, how do i find it now [03:58] Br0sephStalin, what error [03:58] Can someone explain this error &/or how to fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/582683/ [03:58] "bash: /yohoho-81--en-install.bin: No such file or directory [03:58] " [03:58] Br0sephStalin: you need a . before the / [03:59] ./ means "Current directory" [03:59] *rolls eyes* [03:59] bingo [03:59] :) [03:59] HURRAH [03:59] lots of files, sagaci what exactly do I look for in it? [03:59] now its going [03:59] johnsavior: look for a readme [03:59] johnsavior, README, INSTALL [03:59] through the license agreement [03:59] xlogik: were you doing an apt-get upgrade? [04:00] yes they are there [04:00] Read them [04:00] syrinx_: yes [04:00] "Which Java Virtual Machine would you like to use? [04:00] particularly INSTALL [04:00] ' [04:01] has anyone ever paid attention to the following detail: Sudo AUTO prompts you for password.. even if the command you entered is wrong. [04:01] this seems like a really dumb design decision [04:01] Hey guys [04:01] I have a problem [04:01] I tried the readme, and I got stuck on this command "./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-systray \ [04:01] --with-ext-charcode=CP932", sagaci what does it do? [04:01] xlogik: do "apt-get -f install" [04:01] I have a question... I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my Windows 7 machine using WUBI and for some reason when I try to use the Ubuntu Software Center to install software and it asks for my password I enter the password and it just kinda freezes until I close the authentication window and then everything starts working... any ideas? [04:01] Hi I'm trying to make a shortcut to a wine program in the taskbar so I make a launcher in in the field "command:" I put in "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ [04:01] When I try to install ubuntu, I get the following error. [04:02] Files/Exact\ Audio\ Copy/EAC.exe" but when I click on the launcher nothing happens [04:02] dogarrhea, its because you typed sudo first no reason to check what comes after sudo if you cant type in thta pass [04:02] thing is it works fine in terminal [04:02] johnsavior, wouldn't have a clue, I'd have to look at the package [04:02] why can't i make a shoortcut to a wine program [04:02] ? [04:02] dogarrhea: sudo isn't supposed to care about what you are doing ;) perhaps there's a program in root's path that's not in the current user's path, and they want to use it (the converse often holds true). [04:02] (initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [04:03] ^The error I get when I try to install [04:03] dogarrhea: What i mean is, it is certainly deliberate, sure, but that's not always bad. [04:03] Can anyone help? [04:03] johnsavior: that line tells the compiler what options to compile the program with [04:03] it just bugs the heck out of me.. when i type some new command and it asks me for password and it just errors after making me type my password anyways [04:03] Tiktalik: is this when you're running the liveCD or when you go to install? [04:04] syrinx_: same error [04:04] dogarrhea: write a wrapper for sudo then :) [04:04] eamon: when I'm running the liveCD [04:04] i exited out of terminal, how do i view my previous session [04:04] I don't think you do. [04:04] ldunn, I punched that in the console and yeah it genarated a bunch of files, then the readme told me to punch in make, but nothing happens [04:04] ? === pewe_ is now known as Wi [04:05] sagaci i'm sending you the file [04:05] johnsavior: nothing at all happens? === Wi is now known as Wid [04:05] xlogik: i was going to tell you, you have to do "apt-get -f install" then "apt-get upgrade" back and forth a few times until theres only the package with the error left [04:05] eamon: So, any clue what's happening? [04:05] otherwords: build my own die casting workshop from dirt. [04:05] No error at all? [04:05] xlogik: so you mave have to do it 4 or 5 times === Wid is now known as PWe [04:05] johnsavior, I know but any particular reason why you aren't installing it via the repos [04:05] so i can die cast a tool. which builds another machine that builds screws. which do nothing. because i ahven't built a machine that presses metal yet [04:05] o well that's linux in general [04:06] dogarrhea, actual support question? [04:06] ldunn, am I supposed to see messages on the console when I run make? [04:06] johnsavior: yes [04:06] eamon: It also happens when I select the "Install Ubuntu" buttom [04:06] Are you seeing nothing at all? [04:06] *button [04:06] bazhang it was answered [04:06] hey guys i'm having trouble getting grub to boot on xu meerkat [04:06] xlogik: I mean, don't forget, your upgrading to an unstable release [04:06] Does it just give you another prompt? :/ [04:06] sagaci i tried app but it's not available there [04:06] dogarrhea, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:06] I'm trying to make a shortcut to a wine program in the taskbar so I make a launcher in in the field "command:" I put in "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Exact\ Audio\ Copy/EAC.exe" but when I click on the launcher nothing happens. Any ideas? [04:06] johnsavior, ? [04:06] johnsavior, what version of ubuntu are you using [04:06] its a fresh install and it completes...but when it reboots nothing [04:07] ldunn, oh seems i got something wrong [04:07] sagaci 10.10 [04:07] johnsavior: ok [04:07] eamon: It also happens when I select the "Install Ubuntu" buttom [04:07] ldunn [04:07] It installs ubuntu [04:07] its now saying [04:07] :Details: Failed to execute child process "/home/will/puzzlepirates/@client_name@" (No such file or directory): [04:07] eamon: maybe ~ is not being expanded [04:07] huh. o.O [04:07] anyone? [04:07] it shouldnt have client name at the end [04:07] ldunn, what's a GNU? [04:07] johnsavior, it's in maverick 10.10, the same version you're trying to install via source. You're much better and easier to install the version that's already been packaged [04:07] how do i change that [04:08] johnsavior: GNU is an organisation. Why? [04:08] Br0sephStalin: I'm not sure. That's strange [04:08] johnsavior, just go sudo apt-get update [04:08] Could be a bug in the installer [04:08] Indiana Linux Fest <- what is and info? [04:08] johnsavior, then sudo apt-get install g2ipmsg [04:08] eamon: So, can you help me? [04:09] Tiktalik: no, sorry [04:09] Br0sephStalin: by the way, you do have java installed, right? [04:09] ldunn, the readme says "Compile g2ipmsg with make(GNU Make may be needed.)" [04:09] k yes [04:09] jvm 6 [04:09] :< [04:09] overclucker: thanks that solved it:-) [04:09] I have a problem [04:10] When I try to install ubuntu, I get the following error. [04:10] eh [04:10] johnsavior: Right. GNU makes a program called make, which is for compiling. But if it's in the repos, get it from there [04:10] (initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [04:10] now its downloading it says [04:10] Br0sephStalin: curious [04:10] il keep you osted [04:10] oh. mk [04:10] (sorry if I sound like a broken record) [04:10] johnsavior, please, just install it via the terminal or synaptic. You're making it much harder for everyone unless you want to learn how to compile from source [04:10] can anyone help me with my fresh install? [04:10] Tiktalik: Well, are all your harddrives working and connected properly? [04:11] Jasonn: AFAIK [04:11] ?? [04:11] aZu, what's wrong [04:11] As far as I know [04:11] sagaci, :) okay i will, I'm still trying to get comfortable with Ubuntu [04:11] i installed a fresh copy of xubuntu meerkat [04:11] ldunn, I see thankx [04:11] and i'm not getting anything when i load it up [04:11] aZu: What does "Not getting anything" mean [04:11] grub isn't loading [04:11] at all [04:11] ooh. That's bad. [04:12] Jasonn: I formatted it with partedmagic, I also did an error test, said it wasn't broken [04:12] after the bios loads nothing happens [04:12] Do you remember which hard drive you installed GRUB to? [04:12] johnsavior, lots of things can stuff up if you don't know what you're doing, and even then there could be broken parts of your package if you don't know how to fix them manually [04:12] Well, first. Do you have more than one hard drive in the PC? [04:12] theres only one hard drive on this computer [04:12] ok [04:12] Tiktalik: what about the cd drive, is that working fine, and reading properly? [04:12] i devoted the entire harddrive to xubu [04:12] Hmmmm [04:12] so no other partitions [04:12] Jasonn: Yeah [04:13] my comp keeps just wandomly freezing, anyone have any ideas? [04:13] That's strange. :( [04:13] i tried installing via cd rom drive [04:13] Tiktalik: try the alternative CD [04:13] and it wasn't able to finish [04:13] !alternative | Tiktalik [04:13] Tiktalik: 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 [04:13] aZu: oh, the install didn't finish? [04:13] hold on [04:13] the usb install did finish [04:13] Tiktalik: see if anything here helps - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588547 [04:13] oh. :/ [04:13] yeah [04:13] lol [04:13] i made a bootable usb and it did the same thing as the cd install [04:13] Jasonn: It started when I was copying some rather large files to my external drive to format my computer and reinstall [04:14] should i try the alt? [04:14] got another question, how do you set up virtual hosts on apache2 [04:14] johnsavior: #httpd [04:14] aZu: yeah. There's no possibility you failed somehow and installed it on the USB or something? [04:14] and i did a fsck ...but it didn't look like nothing was wrong [04:14] Hrm. [04:14] oh sorry :) [04:14] no [04:14] johnsavior: and they will tell you to /topic [04:15] i always made sure that i was installing on the hard drive [04:15] The only thing I coud suggest is try the install again [04:15] i have... [04:15] all day long [04:15] Jasonn: Then my computer shut off, and started chucking that error. [04:15] lol [04:15] Tiktalik: is the external drive connected now? I would disconnect it during install [04:15] eamon, thanks [04:15] Oh. >_> [04:15] Jasonn: No [04:15] its not my first time installing ubuntu [04:15] Tiktalik: try the alternative CD [04:15] :P [04:15] so i'm a bit perplexed [04:15] :/ [04:15] As am I o.O [04:15] Jasonn: Will do! [04:16] Tiktalik: really your best bet during any install problems [04:16] Jasonn: Thanks! [04:16] * Tiktalik gives Jasonn a hug [04:16] Tiktalik: np :0 [04:16] * Jasonn hugs [04:17] is this a bug with the new revision? [04:17] man says -z option for tar stands for "filter the archive through gzip" , i dont understand this, could anyone explain pls ? [04:17] Buenas [04:17] ¿Algún español? [04:17] syrinx_: No Change after executing "force install" and "upgrade" [04:17] dr0id: it's for .tar.gz files [04:18] xlogik: hmmmm, can you find out what package it is that's causing the error? [04:18] .tar.gz is a tar file with gzip compression [04:18] .tar is just a bunch of files stuck together [04:18] what is a tar file? [04:18] ldunn, i looked at gparted [04:18] and it said the install made 3 partitions [04:19] one is swap and one is probably the system....the last one i'm confused about [04:19] rcmaehl: it's like a zp file but without the compression [04:19] i thought it was a boot partition [04:19] *zip file [04:19] but nothing is booting... [04:19] :/ [04:20] syrinx_: using what apt/dpkg command? [04:20] aZu: did you install GRUB [04:20] eamon: we can have file.gzip , isnt it ? [04:20] xlogik: try dpkg first [04:20] eamon, i thought grub was typically installed in the installation process [04:21] any idea why I can't take screenshots with SMPlayer? I already tried running mplayer from cli with -vf screenshot and was able to take screenshots fine, SMPlayer settings have screenshots enabled..the screenshot button won't even let me click it though, it's faded [04:21] xlogik: dpkg -C [04:21] aZu: I don't know i don't use ubuntu. But it would be a good idea to check thqt it is installed:-) [04:22] fuck i should have gone back to debian [04:22] :/ [04:22] dr0id: yes you can have a gzip file [04:22] eamon: then whats the point of having a .tar or .tar.gz ? :P [04:22] aZu, no cursing [04:22] help - how do i set up usb wireless on ubuntu 10.10 [04:22] lol [04:22] sorry, just very frustrated [04:23] gzip and gz are the same thing dr0id .tar.gz just means its a tar file that's gzipped [04:23] oven_, have you tried it from the menu or a key press [04:23] eamon: true. but instead of tarballing a file, anyone would just gzip, becuz gzip = tar + compression. isnt it ? :) [04:24] if you want to gzip a load of files then you need to tar them all together first [04:24] i have been using them for a long time, just ever gave them a thought :D [04:24] help - how do i set up usb wireless on ubuntu 10.10 netgear wna1100 [04:24] aah [04:24] that was the answer i was looking for. thanks :) [04:24] dr0id: 1000 files --> 1000 gzip files OR 1 .tar.gz file [04:25] 1000 files -> 1 gzip not possible ? just like .zip ? [04:25] eamon: ^^ [04:25] nope [04:25] ok, thanks :) [04:25] how do you assciate a program to a file? [04:25] luckily tar has auto gzip and 7-zip built in [04:26] associate* [04:26] !defaultapp | johnsavior [04:26] johnsavior: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [04:26] ubottu, thanks [04:26] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:27] lol [04:27] johnsavior: jrib answered your question [04:27] johnsavior: remember to have the box checked b4 u click open that tells it to be default [04:28] oh === Guest51181 is now known as DarkDevil [04:28] jrib, thanks too === DarkDevil is now known as Guest65241 [04:28] oh [04:28] * ldunn wanders back in [04:29] now I get it :) shucks im so new to irc [04:29] * PWe mangan sek [04:29] syrinx_: Didn't seem to change anything http://paste.ubuntu.com/582758/ [04:29] jrib, thanks [04:29] "hey, what about stryker, he's a cool guy" johnsavior [04:29] * eamon pats johnsavior on the head in a condescending fashion [04:30] hey kind of a random question if you are looking to start a new project are there any good rooms in particular to sort of advertise or look for people to work with on something [04:31] can someone help me install netgear wireless usb wna1100 on ubuntu 10.10 ? [04:31] xtheshadowgod: ask that in #freenode [04:31] that would depend on the project now wouldn't it xtheshadowgod? [04:32] thank you stryker [04:33] xlogik: GRUB error.... [04:33] don't know what though [04:33] "hey, what about stryker, he's a cool guy" xtheshadowgod [04:33] ... [04:33] * ldunn looks oddly at Stryker [04:33] I have a suspicion! [04:34] ldunn: thanks [04:34] * ldunn hands rww a deerstalker cap [04:34] rww: what. [04:34] "hey, what about stryker, he's a neat intelligent guy that i look oddly at" ldunn [04:34] rww: You just thanked me before I did it! You psychic :( [04:34] My suspicion is not borne out by reality! [04:34] how to you add backtrack tool in ubuntu 10.10 [04:34] I mean. Yes. Yes I am. [04:35] btrackhat: apt-get install backtrack I would assume [04:35] nope. [04:35] ubottu backtrack [04:35] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [04:35] BackTrack is a distro focused on security [04:35] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack <-- You could install the tools manually there [04:35] ok, maybe not metasploit. >_> [04:35] i just want the tools not the os [04:36] syrinx_: any solution? How would I get grub to update with the new settings or to recognize the new kernel? [04:36] And a few others. Basically, you'll have to find them yourself. Ubuntu doesn't provide a pre-packaged set of them [04:36] btrackhat: /j #backtrack-linux or the wiki page then === mapbot2 is now known as forrestv [04:36] i agree with eamon, btrackhat [04:36] xlogik: I guess you could try to upgrade GRUB first, let me kind a link [04:37] xlogik use sudo update-grub [04:37] oh u need an upgrade [04:37] ? [04:38] tired of linux !!! i installed on 5 computers and i have only problem --- can someone help me install netgear wireless usb wna1100 on ubuntu 10.10 ? [04:38] syrinx_: thx Stryker: thx let me try [04:38] xlogik: what Stryker said, sudo update-grub [04:39] hezinho: Cant you just call netgear? [04:39] i figured out the smplayer problem if anyone cares - apparently screenshot counts as a video filter, and you can't use filters with vdpau [04:39] hezinho, its not linux problem. its your vendor who is living in 10th century and dont wan to co operate with new technology [04:39] "hey thx stryker, he's a neat intelligent guy that i look up to" xlogik [04:39] xlogik: It's very easy to re-install grub and to configure it where to look for the new kernel, follow this guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 [04:39] when i try give me a error about scrapy 2 [04:39] !details | hezinho [04:39] hezinho: 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 ..." [04:39] Stryker: stop that :( [04:39] fine rww [04:40] xlogik: just replace "emerge" with "apt-get install" and you'er good to go [04:40] is there a key that works like ctrl-c but sends sigkill instead of sigint? [04:40] stryker offered the time to make a thank you letter, and is turned down [04:40] forrestv: no, but ctrl-\ usually sends sigquit [04:41] I have a problem with Netgear USB Wireless WNA110 - i am running a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 [04:41] ubottu upgrade grub [04:41] thank you letter from who, Stryker [04:41] yup [04:41] ubottu grub [04:41] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

NOTE: this IS illegal unless it really is YOUR router [05:16] Guest27897: after the reset did you use the right default username and password for the device? [05:16] ok ill try [05:17] if ubottu had a google command.... [05:17] Guest27897: then look up the default pass for your router [05:17] lol [05:17] Guest27897: yeah, reset is the way to go, if it isn't working, you're doing it wrong [05:17] ruan if my pc worked, i would so write a bot that had one command.

[05:23] i believe so. [05:23] sweet. ill just take out the video card and use onboard video [05:23] not sure [05:23] wait [05:23] also, does ubuntu support triple monitors? [05:24] <__gktpro> fizy: yess [05:24] it could possibly disable the drivers [05:24] its worth a try [05:24] since its an entirely new device [05:24] <__gktpro> use grandr [05:24] and different devices use different drivers [05:24] sometimes === karsten__ is now known as maniac_k [05:26] <__gktpro> why i am only see two guys talking what are other guys doing???

[06:25] vantage: "which locate ; which slocate ; which mlocate' [06:26] vantage: What did it say? [06:26] i used find.. [06:26] you have to actually update locate before you can use it right unless that has changed [06:26] vantage: You want to know if Ubuntu use locate or slocate. Please run "which locate ; which slocate" [06:27] just so where on the same page as far as hardware topogoly there are 3 drives present, 2 in the box /dev/sda 500G /dev/sdB 500 and anotehr in a usb docking station that is a 1TB [06:28] yes locate is a binary ont he system [06:29] vantage: cd to that path ; then run "ls -la | grep locate" -- It is possible that slocate and locate is well, same thing. === Guest21738 is now known as DarkDevil [06:29] Does anyone know how to disable onboard graphics in a compaq pc without using the bios? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest89758 [06:30] Magnavox: Without using the bios?

[06:35] red2kic, Computer was on...screen went fuzzy and started shaking...now its off...no vga signal [06:35] vantage: Install htop. Run "htop" or use Gnome System Monitor.

[06:35] What is the file /usr/share/irssi/help/mircdcc for? [06:35] red2kic, trying to use different video card but its not working..no vga signal there either [06:36] cpu is not peg by any means using top [06:36] i think its because the onboard graphics are enbled [06:37] vantage, my ubuntu is pretty fast compared to windows, not as fast as a stripped down gentoo install, but not bad considering [06:37] Magnavox: I see. Check the monitor + cable. My cable have been known to cause monitor flickering. Make sure everything is plugged in solidly. When you turn off the PC... and turn it on, you should see bios regardless. [06:37] randomuser: System > Administration > Users and Groups [06:37] =\ [06:37] bullgard4: cat that file. [06:37] red2kic, I don't .. no signal.. [06:39] red2kic: Ah! This solution was simple. -- Thank you very much for your help. [06:40] bullgard4: That file exists so irssi can access it.

[07:02] firsttimecaller, How do you connect to your network? (you should be using the applet) Upper left corner on the panel. [07:02] firsttimecaller: In default layout, top-right corner. [07:02] sorry, upper right corner [07:02] yeah, it used to be there, but now it's not [07:02] firsttimecaller: ALT+F2 --> nm-applet [07:03] done === ashish is now known as Guest99210 === Guest99210 is now known as wizash [07:03] i still don't see anything in the upper right of my screen [07:03] firsttimecaller: Meh.

[07:04] yeah, i think so [07:04] i have the thing that says main [07:04] that's the panel, yes? [07:05] would upstart be causing my wireless card to channel hop? Is there a simple way to stop that process temporarily? [07:05] firsttimecaller, On the upper left it has applications, places, system, on the right there are icons and the clock [07:05] yeah, i have it [07:05] it's just that there's no wifi applet there now [07:06] firsttimecaller, did nm-applet in the terminal work? [07:06] i just did the "killall gnome-panel" the panel disappared and then reappeared but still no wifi applet [07:06] Is there an op in here? [07:06] edbian: Always.

I'm not talking about Network Icon, I mean many other icons that usually sit by the clock. [07:08] how mobius2: my wifi applet has vanished. i still have a panel, but no wifi applet. i tried "killall gnome-panel" but that didn't work either [07:09] firsttimecaller, so then the wireless adapter hardware has not changed? Can you still control your wlan with the terminal? [07:09] yes, i have clock, an icon with main and another one with a circle in it [07:09] firsttimecaller, this wireless cared has worked previously?

[07:13] man , my 1990's tech supprt skills suck [07:14] when trying to update to 11.04 rc3 I can't get the update-manager-d towork [07:14] can someone tell me how to install the newest stable kernel and where to get the debs [07:14] !ubuntu+1 | dospod [07:14] dospod: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [07:14] mrdeb: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa [07:14] mrdeb: Usually, you should be patient. It'll come eventually. [07:15] ok, so i still don't see how i view what wifi ssids are in range. when i right click on the wifi applet i don't see any way to do that [07:16] red2kic: not in 10.04 [07:16] when trying to upgrade to 11.04 I can't get run application to run update-manager-d [07:16] mobius, i'm connected to the internet through wifi [07:16] dospod: it's update-manager -d, not update-manager-d. [07:17] dospod: and you should be asking that in #ubuntu+1. [07:17] it's just that i want to connect to a different wifi ssid than the one i'm connected to [07:17] mrdeb: Do you have a valid reason to use the latest kernel? People favor PPA more than deb because you'll be ensuring that you're always staying with the latest package provided by the ppa. [07:18] mobius2: did you get my response? [07:18] red2kic: the latest kernels usually have security fixes for servers and DOS attacks [07:18] mrdeb: That link is for 10.04 (or lucid). [07:19] red2kic: the reason is that latter kernels are faster and have less lag in alsa than .32 [07:19] can someone please help me figure out how to view wifi networks within range? [07:20] firsttimecaller: If you're only seeing your wifi as the option, then you may not be in the ranges of any other wifi. [07:20] no, i have another machine here that can see 50 [07:21] another machine in the other room can also see the same 50 [07:21] firsttimecaller: Mess around with network icon (top-right). Most of us learned by trying to find things. [07:22] red2kic: will there be a speed increase [07:22] red2kic, i've never had trouble doing this before . . . all of the sudden tonight i'm having trouble [07:22] mrdeb: I have no slight clue. Your mileage may vary. [07:23] i right click on the network manager applet and go to edit connections, and then choose the wireless tab. is that what i'm supposed to do? [07:24] firsttimecaller: Restart your machine and see if it's still same. It's not the elegant solution but I don't want to tell you how to restart gdm or network setting in fear of you getting disconnected.

[07:39] mrdeb: With or without shutting the system down first? [07:39] shentino: whichever is easier [07:39] How can I check if my IBM Thinkpad T42 has outdated Thinkpad BIOS/EC firmware? [07:40] I would most likely shut the system down, boot from a live CD [07:40] shentino: and then? [07:40] dd? [07:40] now, what you do next depends on some things [07:40] No, not dd [07:40] i dont want the larger disk to be limited in size if the origianl is smaller [07:40] getting partition math right with disparate disk sizes is tricky [07:40] ok [07:40] what OS are you using? [07:40] 10.10 x64 [07:41] and what filesystem is /boot and /? [07:41] ext2 and 4 [07:41] ok, sounds simple. [07:41] do you care if your inode creation times get mucked? [07:41] what does that mean [07:41] probably not. [07:42] Basically what you want to do is [07:42] 1. Partition your new drive. [07:42] 2. Copy the root partition contnets over to it [07:43] 3. Update the bootloader so that the boot sector of the new drive will load grub [07:43] double check that your /etc/fstab is sane after the migration [07:43] copy with what partitions, so that i don't get permission issues accessing it later [07:43] probably a mv -r or a cp -r [07:43] will the uuid change? [07:43] use the live cd to mount both of them at the same time [07:43] the uuid will probably change, hence the part about updating fstab [07:44] and don't forget about grub.cfg if needed [07:44] and how do you install grub to the new disk [07:44] update-grub probably [07:44] probably? [07:44] but I'm no expert. What I've described does mesh well with common sense though [07:44] i dont know [07:44] i have a complete sharing setup right now, the problem i am facing it , when i share any file from any other drive except C:, i received an error, unable to mount, while if file store on C drive it opens [07:44] tbh I've never done a migration of a live system before because reinstalling on the new disk has always been more convenient. === Axlin|AFK is now known as Axlin [07:45] Hi, i need to install Ubuntu on an UEFI computer, is there something i should know before attempting?

It just stops if I do that in ubuntu, whereas in windows with divx web player, i could pause and then resume as and when I need it. [08:14] any workarounds?

It is very messy and I want to entirely wipe it and all of its apprently hidden configs from my system, as if it wasn't there. [08:19] rm ~/.wine hasn't done it? [08:19] well, rm -r. But yeah. [08:20] Br0sephStalin, for a lot of things, you can add the -v switch, for 'verbose' to see what's going on. Some of them allow multiple v's, like -vvv to be extra verbose. With others, it means something else (usually version) but its probably save to include a -v with almost everything just to see whats going on [08:21] ldunn: I've uninstalled it via Software Center, I deleted ~/.wine, and then I sudo apt-get purge wine just to make sure (since it's not installed it of course didn't do anything) [08:21] ldunn: I now reinstalled it and it's got garbage menus everywhere.

Read above though if you missed it. [08:58] robotti^: so it's not available on software center, thank you [08:58] i read it starminn. Thanks for the info.

[08:59] alkisg: It's not something you get in the Software Center AFAIK. ;) [09:00] Starminn: yup, it's there on synaptic though. Well... :) [09:00] Starminn: it would be cool, if we can update software from software center [09:00] robotti&: I agree. Update Manager *does* handle it automatically, but I do agree. They should streamline the process should you wish to do it manually. All in one place. [09:01] Nice idea [09:01] how do i check my logs and specifically check for intruders? === gpa is now known as grocernine [09:03] update manager and synaptic should be merged [09:03] No one? [09:03] :/ [09:03] what darthvader [09:03] robotti^, Starminn: I was thinking of a tutorial for this use case: a person opens software-center and wants to install a program. His sources might be out of date, so I need to tell him to update them before installing it. So he needs to run 2 programs, while with synaptic he just needs to run 1. [09:03] I am having an issue with janusvm [09:04] alkisg: How often does Update Manager poll for updates? [09:04] It's configurable, let me see the default... [09:04] It's "daily" here [09:05] Although if one just installed ubuntu and wants to install another program, his sources will definately be out of date [09:05] im unfamiliar with janusvm [09:05] Oh nvm :/ [09:05] thanks anyways [09:05] sorry. try debian also [09:06] alkisg: But I'd say that a daily thing (I've gotten back-to-back days before so I'd agree) should be sufficient. [09:06] thanks [09:06] i dont think software center should exist apart from synaptic [09:06] Starminn: it should, unless (1) he just installed ubuntu, (2) he doesn't have regular internet access, (3) he just added a new repository. So to be on the safe side I need to tell him to update his sources before installing. [09:06] it should be integrated as a "simple" mode, vs synaptic's advanced [09:07] !ot | mrdeb [09:07] mrdeb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

That doesn't say how to determine the minimum kernel version supported for a given version of glibc? [09:18] Thanks for trying though. [09:19] YankDownUnder, what's the command to do it?

Usually an uninstall + deleting whatever's hidden in your home directory is enough though [09:42] help? [09:42] (Note: Not always in both places. Usually just one, but I, personally, like to check in both. Also, by the way, "sudo apt-get purge " deletes all configs for you too, as opposed to "sudo apt-get remove " which is what the Software Center does) [09:43] use linux, not bsd [09:46] Starminn: I have already deleted the filed in /usr/share, but now I also deleted the folder in home.

[10:46] mang0: download what? [10:47] Sorry for late replies im on my phone [10:47] Um insmod [10:48] mang0: no problem. The insmod command is always available since it is required for loading any of the modules [10:48] mang0: install module === mau is now known as Guest16437 [10:48] So how do i use it? [10:48] yo [10:48] mang0: kernel module files (.ko) should be in /lib/modules//kernel/drivers subdirectories [10:48] !insmod [10:49] [10:49] hey uhh twitch you there? [10:49] yeah [10:49] mang0: usually they are installed on that location when the softwarepackage containing that module file is properly packaged [10:49] To give everybody access to run anything without a password, the sudoers line is this? ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [10:49] Im getting dramas with flash crapping out all the time on youtube [10:50] hi all [10:50] Hm it is in the right place then just not working [10:50] Often have to reload the page to fix it. Says 'Oops, flash plugin broke' [10:50] scarleo, okay, some interesting results [10:50] alkisg_: better add a line for a specific group, say 'admin', then add all users to that admin group [10:51] scarleo, WMV videos (that play in totem plugin in FF) & DivX web plugin videos - fllscreened work on external monitor, but is' only the flash videos jthat are misbehaving. Some settings in flash maybe? [10:52] oCean: thank you, it's for a demo, i need to give root access to all 200+ users, I'll put them in a group and give access to that group [10:52] hi, i'm having trouble installing ubunt 10.10. installation freezes at the "who are you" screen and the forward button don't get clickable. Anyone having an idea how to get passed this? Any idea of what the problem can be? [10:53] alkisg_: you don't need me to warn you what could happen if you give such access to 200 users? [10:53] oCean: nope, thanks :) [10:53] :) [10:54] fidde: What username did you enter? [10:54] Jordan_U: name: Fredrik, usr fidde [10:55] Pr0jectRec0n: I don't think there is much you can do with flash settings [10:55] fidde: Could you post a screenshot? [10:55] !screenshot | fidde [10:55] fidde: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [10:55] i don't using that computer for the moment [10:57] Jordan_U: i'm not sure to be abel to get a screenshot over the installation if that is what you would like to see. :/ [10:57] fidde: How much RAM do you have? [10:58] Jordan_U: 2 gb [10:58] hey all: is it possible to teach my new OS to automatically mute my rear out (speakers) , when i plug a headset to the front panel? [10:59] morning ppl - sunny here :D [10:59] fidde: How comfortable are you with the terminal? [10:59] <|Long|> good morning folks, can someone help me plz? i bootup on blank screen but i can ssh to it, how can i fix it? [11:00] Jordan_U: by that do you mean the hardware or software? [11:00] fidde: Software, the *NIX shell interface. [11:01] |Long|: on the blank screen hit ctl+alt+f1 ... should give you a tty ... sounds like X server needs tweaking [11:01] <|Long|> ok thanks twitch [11:01] Jordan_U: Not at all I have to say. [11:03] Anyone else having trouble with mail.com sign-in? [11:03] fidde: OK, there is a way to get and post a screenshot using the terminal but it's probably not worth it. Can you cancel the installation and reboot with the "Try Ubuntu without installing" option (there will still be an icon on the desktop so you can start the installer, but you'll be able to run other applications like firefox at the same time). [11:05] fidde, have you tried fredrick (ie all small letters) and throughout? [11:05] scarleo, looks like this IS an issue : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1375084 [11:06] scarleo, also, would installing xinerama help? [11:06] can someone help me ? .. im stuck .. i need to execute a command for start/sleep/resume .. cant seem to figure out where [11:06] <|Long|> twitch, im on login screen now, how I get GUI back? [11:06] Jordan_U: well i tried that but I didn't get anything started. I tried open firefox and some other things byt didnt get anything going. [11:07] |Long|: ctl+alt+f7? [11:07] fidde: Did you check that the iso file downloaded correctly, and that the CD burned correctly, by checking the md5 checksum? [11:07] |Long|: ok well you Xorg is loading but not displaying .. what type of video card do you have? [11:07] <|Long|> gaelfx,ctl+alt+f7 didnt do anything [11:07] bazhang: no i havent, can that be the case? I will try. thnx i'll come back with screenshot if the problem still appears. [11:08] how to search for connected devices [11:08] it's just alt+f7 btw [11:08] <|Long|> twitch, i have nivida video card [11:08] fidde, that is a well known bug, please use all small letters [11:08] Pr0jectRec0n: Don't know, never used xinerama [11:08] |Long|: what model mate [11:08] <|Long|> i dont know it old [11:09] <|Long|> let me open the box === KolakCC|Zzz is now known as KolakCC [11:09] barrajonassegund, lsusb for the usb bus [11:09] Jordan_U: md5 checksum? well everytnig seemd to work properly due to that I could boot with disk and so on. I didnt know that there was a way to control the iso before burning [11:10] |Long|: lspci would be better than opening the box probably [11:10] Jordan_U: thank you for you're help, i will try installing it again and if not working i will get back with screenshot. [11:10] Pr0jectRec0n: sounds to me like xinerama is made to use several screens as one big, that's not what you're after is it? [11:10] bazhang: Jordan_U - Thank you both! [11:11] fidde: It's not controlling it per-se, just checking it. The easiest way to check that the CD has the bits that it should is to press any key in the first five seconds of boot and select "Check disk for defects". [11:11] gaelfx: sounds like he needs to blow out the cobwebs anyway :P [11:11] scarleo, well, i dont want mirror displays on both, so yeah I'd be okay with that [11:11] scarleo, thats the only other option if I dont want mirrored anyways, right? [11:12] g'day everyone can someone give me a hand with a problem I am having... it's probably an easy one. I downloaded a program today called Mobile Atlas Creator 1.8.1 in the file there is a file called start.sh, mobile atlas creator.exe and mobile atlas creator.jar. I have tried making the files executable but nothing seems to work. any ideas? [11:12] <|Long|> twitch, it said geforce 8400gs [11:12] Jordan_U: is that something that i can do regardless to which OS i use? [11:12] Pr0jectRec0n: I'm not sure but I think with xinerama your full screen flash will spread over both displays [11:12] twitch: prolly true [11:13] <_2F_> Hi, i got this night more than 2000 packets udp from google dns, is it normal, i got of course google dns but never seen that before, seems port scan because about 1000 ports has benn tried (sry my english) [11:13] fidde: Yes, since it's a feature you get to by booting from the Ubuntu CD. [11:13] |Long|: i suggest first in tty "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get nvidia-current ; sudo reboot" [11:13] <|Long|> twitch, thanks [11:13] led start.sh（for linux）, mobile atlas creator.exe(for windows) and mobile atlas creator.jar(for all). [11:13] scarleo, ah, that is something I didnt think of, and don't want too :) [11:14] Jordan_U: nice feature :) - i'll be back [11:14] scarleo, I'm kicking myself - as to why I didnt think of it that way XD [11:14] |Long|: sry forgot the install .. so sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [11:14] <|Long|> twitch, thanks [11:14] Know if you still can not use the proprietary drivers in Ubuntu natty ? [11:15] fglrx [11:15] <|Long|> twitch, yes it updating 82mb [11:15] <|Long|> i hope this will boot to GUI [11:16] Pr0jectRec0n: No problem :) [11:16] kudo-shinichi: check in #ubuntu+1, this is for current stable releases [11:17] is vmware included free witt ubuntu [11:17] gaelfx thanks you !!!! [11:17] !vmare | barrajonassegund [11:17] eh [11:18] !vmware | barrajonassegund [11:18] barrajonassegund: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [11:18] thank [11:18] barrajonassegund: not as far as I know, but I think most people will recommend virtualbox instead [11:19] possible to convert isos to real 9660 isos? [11:19] i have a question. i just built ubuntu desktop box and when connect to wireless network can ping ubuntu from win7...why ? seem insecure [11:20] -_- [11:20] barrajonassegund: usually virtualbox's performance is better anyhow [11:21] barrajonassegund: the wireless network (your network?) is just 1 network, sure machines can see/ping other machines on that network [11:21] barrajonassegund: I've never heard of pingability as an indication of insecurity [11:22] well win 7 box will not accept ping from ubuntu [11:22] possible to convert isos to real 9660 isos? [11:22] raven: What iso and what do you mean by "real 9660 iso"? [11:22] can anyone suggest a system resources widget ? [11:22] at very minimum indicated a device is alive [11:22] !corky | zetheroo [11:22] barrajonassegund: if you want, you can use UFW (firewall) to prevent something like that [11:22] hey [11:22] zetheroo: you mean like CPU/RAM usage or temperature? [11:22] twitch: in the repos? [11:23] gaelfx: all of the above ... if possible [11:23] !info corky [11:23] Package corky does not exist in maverick [11:23] !info corky [11:23] Hi im new, please help me!!

[11:24] raven: Wrote them to what? dd doesn't change the format of an iso so it's likely that it's just not mounting with the proper Rockridge / Joliet extentions (why not I don't know). [11:25] i think ive noticed a 'bug' in nautilus, if you dont have the permission to view a dir, the size is first listed as ?, then after clicking on the folder and being warned, the size is changed to 0 items [11:25] well when my computer starts or shutsdown it goes all weard like the screan goes big and the letters go huge [11:25] Please help me [11:25] i think its to do with plymouth or something [11:26] scarleo well when my computer starts or shutsdown it goes all weard like the screan goes big and the letters go huge [11:26] where in the menu is conky? [11:26] i wonder if this 'bug' is this way for some known reason, eg so that fileusage like programs function correctly. [11:27] scarleo i think its to do with plymouth [11:27] Dave105: Did you try change your screen resolution? System->Preferences->Monitors [11:27] Jordan_U, written isos from cdroms with brasero do not have this error [11:28] Dave105: Or you mean only during startup/shutdown? [11:28] raven: What did you dd them to and how did you mount it? [11:29] I started conky from the terminal but it's at the wrong place on the screen, too big and pretty ugly .. where is the settings for this thing? [11:29] scarleo yes during the startup/shutdown [11:30] scarleo ive got a nvidia [11:30] Hey guys i was wondering if there is a way to speed up graphics in ubuntu without hardware [11:30] does anyone know how to (properly) insert to, say: in metacity-themes-1.xml? [11:31] hey all: is it possible to teach my new OS to automatically mute my rear out (speakers) , when i plug a headset to the front panel?

[11:35] If this is the wrong place to ask, sorry. [11:36] what is the command to search for something system-wide ? [11:36] zetheroo: you can use 'locate' [11:36] ok thanks [11:36] zetheroo: "man find" "man locate" "man grep" [11:37] where should I place the bootloader? [11:39] raven: This is in-channel. [11:40] HI all! i'm having a bit of trouble with a package that i've installed... it is installed and it was working a while ago but i can't figure out how to remove it. and i keep getting an error when i try to do anything with the package: [11:40] dpkg: error processing mongodb-10gen (--install): [11:40] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 === chris_ is now known as Guest22254 [11:40] how do i "force a purge" [11:40] ? [11:41] raven: Instead of mounting it via nautilus mount it using "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/" [11:41] When i update and restart im not able to get into the Os. why? [11:42] dinzy, u must be using Wubi? [11:42] real_ate, you're installing mongodb from the repos? [11:43] bazhang: well i'm using their repo, its more up to date [11:43] Yes..wliao.. im using Wubi [11:43] bazhang: but yes i am installing it from "a" repo [11:43] real_ate, ok, its in the ubuntu repos, any particular reason to use theirs [11:44] Wubi doesnt support updates for OS? [11:44] bazhang: the version is too old on 10.04 [11:44] <_antant> Is there an app that I can use to strip down my installation so it boots quicker? [11:44] not so good. [11:44] dinzy, sure it does; how much space did you give it? [11:44] _antant: synaptic ? [11:45] 8 GB === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:45] Jordan_U, mount -o loop works but it is shure no iso 9660 because nautilus mounts isos from brasero with double click without ;1 at the end of filenames [11:46] _antant: You could have a look at System-Pref->Startup Applicatioins and turn off things you don't need [11:46] hi guys, got my server up and running again, mounted the 2nd HDD, how do I keep it mounted after a restart? Is there a simple command? [11:46] homebrewcider: add a line for it in /etc/fstab [11:46] !fstab > homebrewcider [11:46] homebrewcider, please see my private message [11:47] hi, i am using 10.10 64 bit (fully patched). I installed bittorent client + gui tools via the software centre. i checked off the gui addons. from a terminal i cannot find the bittorent app with 'locate' or by auto completing the command with TAB. it is also not in my internet menu. where did it go? [11:47] cheers, will check it out [11:47] raven: There is nothing wrong with the iso. dd just takes the bits straight from the CD and you said yourself that "mount -o loop" mounts it without the ;1 (if I understood you correctly). [11:47] real_ate: PPA's are unsupported [11:48] Jordan_U, right but how to mount it with nautilus correctly by doubleclick? [11:48] oCean: yes i understand that, but i was just hoping someone could help me purge my changes [11:48] blkdg, transmission? deluge? which torrent client are you referring to [11:48] blkdg: If you tried locate directly after install it's probably not updated. You could do sudo updatedb first to update it manually [11:48] * real_ate is a developer [11:48] raven: I don't know. [11:48] Jordan_U, ok but thank you for the way [11:49] raven: You're welcome. [11:49] real_ate: use supported repositories, then we can help [11:49] oCean: well in that case.. how to I revert the installed mongodb back to the ubuntu version? [11:50] do i have to keep the old kernel headers after i upgrade to a newver version? [11:50] Where is .Xclients ? cant find it in my homefolder [11:50] bazhang, bittorent . [11:51] scarleo, thanks will try [11:51] blkdg, tried alt f2 appname? [11:51] and why upgrade manager does not clean the automattically the upgraded package [11:51] Hi [11:52] bazhang, when the terminal couldn't auto complete it ...... [11:52] real_ate: you're in a situation that is not supported (by using a 3rd party repo.) [11:52] real_ate: if it's installed from a PPA, or something like that, you should be able to purge the package from Synaptic or using apt-get if you're more command-line oriented, then disable the repo (again in Synaptic) and reinstall the standard package from Ubuntu repos === Niglop is now known as Clerisy [11:52] in ubuntu tweak do i need to keep linux headers=2.6.32.28 when i have 2.6.35-27 also listed? [11:53] any help appreciated [11:53] Heleny, with? [11:53] green__, ? [11:53] anyone has faced the famous "realtek ac97 issue ?" [11:53] gaelfx: purge isn't working as apt-get thinks it is not installed (when it clearly is) [11:53] in ubuntu tweak do i need to keep linux headers=2.6.32.28 when i have 2.6.35-27 also listed? [11:54] Hey guys, I'm had a problem with coreavc... I found the solution on "forum.ubuntu.org.cn"... but I can understand nothing from the translated version with google.translate... so please, is there any Chinese speaker here who can explain to me ? [11:54] scarleo, i ran the updatedb, and there's nothing for bittorrent [11:54] real_ate: well, it sounds like you installed a pretty crappy PPA, you might try asking whoever made it for help [11:54] <_antant> How much faster can I make my boot time by customizing my kenel? [11:54] gaelfx: thanks will do [11:54] scarleo, forget that TYPO.... [11:55] real_ate: did you try purging in Synaptic? [11:55] gaelfx: is there a log that collects output from dpkg subprocesses ? [11:55] green__, ask the ubuntu-tweak maintainers as thats not supported here [11:55] ok [11:55] real_ate: well, if it's not in dmesg, I wouldn't know where else it might be [11:55] anyone knows how to get realtek ac97 drivers to work? [11:56] real_ate: otherwise check everything in the Log File Viewer for the time that you installed it [11:56] _antant, i don't know about you, but 10.10 boots very quickly. [11:56] green__, keeping the kernels is quite small however, and nice to keep an extra around [11:56] gaelfx: HA! you are a legend! synaptic seems to have sorted it ;) [11:56] <_antant> Yeah, I'm using it for my HTPC though, so I'd like it as lightning as possible [11:56] _antant, that's my experience without recompiling the kernal. [11:56] real_ate: no prob :D [11:57] who says GUIs are useless? [11:57] * real_ate <3 GUIs [11:57] hey guys, something weird happened with some recent update of java: I can no longer paste text into a java applet [11:57] blkdg: If you installed the package I think it looks like the actual package name is 'gnome-btdownload' [11:57] it used to work just a few weeks ago, I'm fairly sure the applet's code didn't change [11:57] <_antant> Also, when I boot I've got what looks like a terminal based boot screen (same when I shut down) [11:57] <_antant> How do I get rid of them? [11:58] drbobb: you could try reinstalling java? or is this a known issue? [11:58] any see my chat? [11:58] scarleo, no gnome-btdownload [11:58] Heleny: we can see you [11:58] Heleny: receiving you loud and clear [11:58] cool I got an issue [11:59] anyone will help me [11:59] Heleny, just ask [11:59] Heleny, using pulseaudio? got pavucontrol and padevchooser installed? [11:59] gaelfx: well that's what i'm trying to find out, whether it's a known issue [11:59] realtek 97 audio [11:59] anyone got issue with that? [11:59] drbobb: well, if it is, it should be in the forums, so I would search there first [11:59] Heleny, check for them in synaptic package manager [11:59] gaelfx: haven't found anything relevant [12:00] It is already in kernel.. did alsaconf as su [12:00] <_antant> When I boot I've got what looks like a terminal based boot screen (same when I shut down) [12:00] checking out the bugtracker now [12:00] but it ain't working even after [12:00] drbobb: if you don't find anything there, then I would try reinstalling the offending java package, otherwise we can get into nitty gritty here and now [12:00] <_antant> CanI get rid of it? [12:00] hey bazhang [12:00] Heleny, you enabled the root account? [12:00] Paddy_NI, hi [12:00] yup.. [12:01] gaelfx: well I could try but I'll bet this won't do anything [12:01] Heleny, not a good idea, use sudo -i for a root shell [12:01] should I continually stay as root throughout to use audio drivers? [12:01] _antant: what do you mean? [12:01] hello all [12:01] okay .. I'm trying my best [12:01] drbobb: I really think it's the best place to start [12:02] Heleny, alsaconf? [12:02] would anyone happen to know if synaptic touchpads have a fix yet? [12:02] yep doing that right now [12:02] building card database [12:02] <_antant> gaelfx: I have 'ubuntu' in what looks like a terminal font with 4 dots above [12:02] _antant, with a purple background? === hugo is now known as Neddio [12:02] <_antant> yeah [12:02] what's the abbreviation for Ubuntu? [12:02] done configuring.. should I restart? [12:03] bubblegummybear: do you have a support question? [12:03] bubblegummybear, abbreviation? you mean codename for the latest? [12:03] Heleny, where did you find alsaconf [12:04] no, for the word "ubuntu", I want to name my machines according to their version, but ubuntu1004 is so long [12:04] in terminal, [12:04] anyone know how to get a syaptic touchpad work correctly with scrolling and right click? [12:04] sudo -i gave me root access. then I alsaconf [12:04] gaelfx: I think it's the switch from sun-jdk to open-jdk, it appears that a sun-jdk is no longer available at all [12:04] it done configuring .. [12:04] bubblegummybear, there is none. maverick meerkat is the latest codename [12:04] gltechguy: yes, either use synclient or any graphical frontend to configure it [12:04] ok [12:04] bubblegummybear, I think ubuntu is pretty much as short as it gets, if you want it shorter you could try write just 'u' [12:04] hello, how do i force all applications to use same font? [12:05] good idea sinisterstuf [12:05] it said no soundcards found... === alex_ is now known as Tr4sK [12:05] bubblegummybear, or umm for Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat [12:05] <_antant> sinisterstuff: Any idea how I get rid of it? I've tried installing plymouth manager and setting a new splash screen but to no avail [12:05] . [12:05] hi, does anybody have any experience with rt2070 cards? [12:05] _antant, you want to change the purple to something else? I saw a tutorial the other day on how to correctly configure plymouth, it worked for me, let me find it for you [12:05] sinisterstuf: I think I'll take the first letter of the OS followed by the computer [12:05] btw I used the noacpi launch option.. does that affect some drivers? [12:06] bubblegummybear, ok :) [12:06] if im opening a command in the terminal terminal, the program closes as i clkose the terminal. how can i avoid this?

[12:09] morning hazzarux [12:09] _antant, you're right. it is unfortunate though, since i'd assume ATI is the less mainstream of the 2 [12:09] thanks scarleo [12:09] bazhang: thanks I'll look at that [12:09] if im opening a command in the terminal terminal, the program closes as i clkose the terminal. how can i avoid this? lets say i want so start a program via console like a click in the starter menu [12:09] Paddy_NI, bah, I don't want to upgrade to maverick just because of a library... but thx for the input : -) [12:10] oZee_: append & to the command [12:10] oZee_, for example: transmission & [12:10] oZee_: You could make a shell script to do it for you, then it should work the way you want. [12:10] oZee_: you can then close the terminal [12:10] oZee_, the & starts it up as a new process instead of in the current terminal [12:11] very nice thank u [12:11] is this the same as screen?

[12:13] oZee_, not the same as screen. to start VLC try run it by pressing Alt+F2 and typing vlc ? [12:14] yay that works, but i want to do it in console [12:14] Fuchs thanks for advise on synclient but my touchpad still doen't recongnize the right click and can't scroll b/c 2 fingers makes mouse jump all over. any ideas?

I guess it makes an instance of itself in our terminal even after you send it to the background. [12:17] gltechguy: that means: use a pastebin, don't put it in the channel. Thanks. [12:18] isnt there a terminal command for the alt+f2 thing? [12:18] this alt+f2 thing only emulates sth 4 the console - doenst it? [12:19] oZee_, Alt+F2 is from the gnome-panel, it's used to start applications [12:20] _antant, are you still there? are you OK with changing the theme using the commandline?

[12:21] i want to start vlc like the alt+f2 thing does, but from console. not for practical reasons but for training [12:21] huhu [12:21] Fuchs, if something is pasted into the ubuntu pastebin does a link get posted in the channel? How does it work I've never used it… [12:21] like connecting X and console u know [12:22] sinisterstuf: no, after you pasted it will give you an url which you can give us here. [12:22] oZee_, why not pick a different program then? VLC is the only one I know that does this. [12:22] Fuchs, ok, thanks [12:22] so does skype and any other [12:22] sinisterstuf: you can also sudo apt-get install pastebinit; synclient -l | pastebinit in a terminal, which will directly give you the url [12:22] i want to understand what X does when i start a program [12:22] mkisofs -input-charset utf-16 -o test.iso /dev/dvd only writes 384 kb - what is wrong?

[12:26] cheers, no problem [12:27] mrts, does that mean if you had just redirected the output away from stdout/stderr, say into a file, that that would work too? [12:27] sinisterstuf, nohup takes care of that for you [12:28] mrts, I see, VLC seems a bit more complicated… [12:28] in system monitor, what does Nice mean? pulseaudio has -11 nice [12:28] ruan: nice is priority [12:28] oh ok [12:28] ruan, that means it has a *very* high priority [12:28] Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).

Tried a different one? I had to change the plug when moving from Win to Ubuntu [15:03] can the "Hibernate" option in the indicator applet be removed? gconf-editor only lets me hide logout, restart, and shutdown [15:04] d3ath101, the first thing to try is make sure the wireless is on (the hardware switch) [15:04] could not find package in E:Drive...

[15:10] thankyou robotti! [15:10] Jak3, wow, never knew that. But why not just use the ssh cmd?

[15:12] Heleny: Can you try to sudo rmmod snd-intel8x0 and then sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 [15:12] so can I remove Hibernate from the logoff/shutdown menu? I tried gconf-editor. the option isn't there. I tried Ubuntu Tweak, it's not there either [15:12] Jak3, but putty is useless on linux. There is no reason not to type ssh user@host [15:12] Heleny: Then check again if it's detected [15:13] btw is there any good way to get the volumekeys and eject key on a mac keyboard working on Debian PPC? [15:14] it depends... if you are a newb then u use putty.... if your an expert user then type the ssh and the host [15:14] @scareleo..

[17:33] ... i will use google then. :) [17:33] From what I've found, there's no automatic auto-hide option, but surely there must be someone who has developed a way around this, [17:33] it seems so obvious [17:33] sorry... i was using it but it messed up when i rebooted it... i would tell u if i knew.... sorry [17:33] Incarus6: take a look at the version of libc6 he has installed. "edge" isn't a debian release in any case.

[17:35] Sary_: Nah. It's never a good idea for newcomers. [17:35] thanks xrdodrx [17:35] Jak3 you downloaded natty, you mean? [17:35] Jak3, then go to the appropriate channel and ask :). [17:35] red2kic, yeah, that's what I figured, so I might just default to desktop edition and forget all about this netbook edition, [17:35] themill, *pointing [17:36] I've already changed my swappiness for faster loading and tried changing to Unity 2D too but it was too slow, === fizyplankton is now known as ubottu2 [17:36] do these wireless mice without the usb dongle thing work with ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:37] Sary_: The whole point of linux is to customize it to your likings. Right now, you're using desktop environment Ubuntu Devs have set it up for their end-users. You can change anything you want -- but I understand you're new and don't even know how to do that in first place. [17:37] sary_ type sudo GNOME-Panel-autohide_side -d 50 [17:37] quiel: You mean bluetooth mouse? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest97641 [17:37] in terminal [17:37] Polah - yes I heard that, and that's fine, just excellent... I like the sidebar if I can have it auto hide [17:37] Polah, well not exactly... you can log into either Unity = netbook or calssic gnome = regular gnome of sorts [17:37] oh woah ! Jak3 really? Okay hold on lemme give it a try [17:37] Is there a way to find (and rename) all files with filenames which would be win-incompatible? [17:37] scarleo, yes, but the ones without the usb-bluetooth thing. [17:38] Sary_, and as I said you have to tick the autohide option under the compiz unity plugin [17:38] scarleo, the way apples mice connect [17:38] Suddenly out of nothing I could observe that a NEW kernel has been installed !!! Now I have two Kernel in my Bootloader (Grub2)!! Was there a new kernel release recently or is this something dangerous/malecious??? [17:38] quiel: If you have built-in bluetooth it works [17:38] but #ubuntu+1 is the more appropriate channel for ubuntu 11.04 [17:38] esing123: You must have updated, newer kernels come out all the time. [17:38] esing123, highly likely a new version was instaleld. [17:38] coz, I thought that was for Natty? [17:39] what software is good for editing audio?

Well I actually made an update but I would never have thought that then two Kernels are within my bootloader. Secondly very important !!! :: My WOL does not work anymore !!! Is this normal when having a kernel update that WOL has to be configured again ? [17:40] Krycek: Yes, but not same desktop environment. [17:40] why k3b not taking a new DVD to clone a CD... does it has to be CD [17:40] !de | Krycek [17:40] no... kubuntu is more like mac [17:40] dualcore, audacity works great [17:40] Krycek: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome.

[17:44] Znow, it should get updated automatically if a new version is released in the ubuntu repo. just check update manager. or you could always grab the source from ruby's site and compile it.

[17:45] but I don't quite understand why it is that I need to download drivers... [17:45] it will help me auto hide the side bar you think? === michelinux is now known as michelecs === michelecs is now known as michelinux [17:46] so like "bash ndiswrapper" is what I would type in? [17:46] ah sorry , my bad [17:46] if you download the nvidea drivers first, then type "sudo apt-get install nvidea_graphics_(what your netbook model is) [17:46] Sary_, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper.

[17:47] Jak3, it's nvidia , check your spelling [17:47] haha here is ubottu2 [17:47] allow me to demonstrate [17:47] Jak3, and it is not apt-get, check your logic [17:48] $google fizyplankton [17:48] %s, please use google.

[17:48] blueskaj go suk, im helping these peeps, not teavhing to spell [17:48] Incarus6: I doubt there's a PPA involved at all -- that message is straight out of the libc6.preinst in current ubuntu releases -- that's right, it didn't even get updated in ubuntu to read something other than "lenny".

[17:50] yes [17:50] red2kic: the other day, some one said they wishefd ubottu had a google command, and i copied my existing bot and made it into a ubottu2 bot. but clearly it had a few typos. it can happen to anyoen [17:50] okay googling [17:50] Jak3, not being family-friendly is bad language. when you download a driver from the nvidia website its an .run file, you have to run it with "sh FILE.run" [17:50] Jak3: Usually not, but when you're targeting others. It's considered to be rude. [17:50] Sary_, ya you will need to have internet and you will need the drivers disk from windows. [17:50] fizyplankton: See !google [17:50] Jak3, btw , the nvidia-current is the default driver ubuntu nvidia graphics nad one should use the recommended driver in admin hardware [17:51] i_is_broke, I have internet clearly, but no drivers disk from windows..

[18:26] dehiho: I guess compiz' running already, before you run --replace?

[18:51] sumedh, laptops these days can switch between integrated GPU (usually intel) and a higher performing GPU [18:52] Ya I noe! [18:52] sumedh, the drivers with this -switching- capability only work in windows right now === w_w is now known as O_o [18:52] Bt u want me to disable My gfx card? === O_o is now known as o34_32 [18:52] :O [18:52] sumedh, so go force your video to use the external one ... not the onboard [18:53] no I don't want you to disable your video entirely ... just turn off the switching feature [18:53] So when I disable it I cant switch to my intel gfx card from win 7 also? [18:53] :( [18:53] correct. win7 will be forced to use the Nvidea GPU [18:54] hi guys, anyone tried the remote desktop feature in ubuntu 10.10.

[18:55] Still when I do it u think prob will be solved? [18:55] benoitdo: can you see both screens at the same time? if so look at quicksynergy instead of vnc [18:55] sumedh, don't know ... ask Acer for drivers for linux [18:56] benoitdo: but I have seen good vnc over my 100mb/s local net so not sure what you consider slow [18:57] hello, Im looking for an app or command line to find cloned files in an external hdd and delete the older versions, any suggestions? [18:57] stef12321 does this mean anything? I can change my static ip and for a couple of minutes I can resolv address outside the network, but then it stops. [18:57] I can then set a new IP and it will work, but then quite [18:57] sacarison: i cannot see the screens which is why i need something like vnc [18:58] They dont have any! [18:58] usr_: maybe a bash script that looks for a mach in md5sum of each file [18:58] slow means when i move the mouse, it only moves twice a sec or less [18:59] sumedh: what is your issue exactly?? your login not showing up?? so you have to login thru command prompt? startx then to bring up desktop?? [18:59] benoitdo: must be some problem in your network? it's not that slow normaly [18:59] somebody knows how to make roaming profiles in ubuntu clients and a zentyal server? i did it succesfully with windows xp clients and zentyal server. i installed "zentyal-desktop" on ubuntu, and it can login with a domain user, but the changes are not uploaded to the server. anyone had a experience about this? thanks!

If I create a new static ip and then reboot, it will be able to connect to the inter for about 3 minutes and then I get 'host cannot be found'. I can then change my ip address again repeat the process exactly like the first time. Any ideas what is going on? [19:02] driver issue maybe? [19:02] shadow66142000: when you get the host errors, does nslookup work? can you ping anything? [19:02] benoitdo: not sure maybe take a quick look with wireshark and see if it's the net otherwise must be slow render for some reason [19:02] I can ping anything within my network [19:02] but that's it [19:03] shadow66142000: and you can resolve hostnames like google.com, pants.com, etc? stuff that wouldn't be cached === root__ is now known as pankaj_sharm [19:03] only for the first 3minutes or so [19:03] shadow66142000: sounds like a network manager problem maybe try stop it [19:04] shadow66142000: no other hosts affected, just one?

[19:12] shadow66142000: okay, if after 3min you can ping internally but not externally, we have two things to check: 1. name resolution and 2. default route [19:12] Hey all. I understand how to add apps to my startup applications menu, but how do i add services. Like I want /etc/init.d/twonkyserver start to start when the system boots [19:12] I just tried restarting and the internet didn't come back. It seems that it requires me to change my ip to get those 3minutes of internet [19:12] vantage, make a script that starts both programs ... then use that script [19:12] k [19:13] whitor i think the answer was .fluxbox/startup [19:13] resolv.conf is nameserver 8.8.8.8 [19:13] shadow66142000: after 3min, you can ping internally. does dns still work? can you ping your dns server? [19:13] vantage, I didn't see that answered. [19:13] it gives me this error http://i.imgur.com/AyxVH.png [19:14] shadow66142000: stop letting network-manager mess you up, I've seen it alot kill it [19:14] shadow66142000: do you not have a local dns server? why use googles?

I have this situation on two machines [19:56] lkj, I open two shells. In the first I type sudo aptitude update. It asks for password. If I type the same command in the other shell it also asks for password. However if I type that command into the first shell twice in a row, the second time it will not ask me for my password (because sudo caches the password for a bit) [19:56] Alphanaut: well I know the first (hdX starts from 0 and becomes sda so maybe (hd0,0) is sda1 [19:56] lkj, Now, I'm running sudo on my Debian 6.0 machine but I would be surprised if the behavior was different. [19:58] what is the thing that allows 2 computers to share a desktop space (I can drag something over to the other screen for exmaple or share mous) [19:58] disappearedng, synergy [19:59] edbian: Ok.. on Ubuntu I open shell. In the firs I type sudo commad, then typing my password and after command execution I type exit... then I run second shell and I can sudo without password.. I is not normal behaviour, I guess [19:59] Why would one Samba share work, and another not work if they have the exact same parameters but different paths? [19:59] hey, is there any other (gentlier) way of shutting down a process or do I have to use kill? [19:59] Alphanaut: the wierd thing is they change then numbering from grub legacy to grub2 and also not sure if it matches what's seen in bios [19:59] dang it [19:59] lkj, That is not the behavior I am seeing [19:59] naryfa: kill $(pidof firefox) -- I guess. [19:59] well i notice ubuntu boots from set root=(hd0,msdos5) [20:00] naryfa, Clicking the x on the window [20:00] so i guess msdos5 is the format [20:00] my win7 part is set root=(hd0,msdos1) [20:00] <_antant> Would it be a problem to reinstall grub from within my current ubuntu install? [20:00] red2kic: thanks [20:00] edbian: You are using Debian.. that is variable.. [20:00] lkj, Apparently [20:00] NEW: windows 7 wipes out my MBR - how do I get ubuntu 10.10 back?

[20:00] _antant: No, it's just sudo grub-install /dev/ [20:01] edbian: not a window [20:01] Alphanaut: I think the msdos5 part means it's the old partition type, we now have lvm and others that can be used [20:01] !grubfix > duncan-nz [20:01] edbian: That is why I am asking on #ubuntu channel :-) [20:01] !grub2 | duncan-nz [20:01] duncan-nz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[20:04] hi [20:04] it's not a screen, but two different computers, I want to drag a window across [20:04] disappearedng, use synergy [20:04] disappearedng: that sounds like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama [20:04] disappearedng: Not possible. [20:04] oh wait [20:05] Hi all...Permission Problem: I am developing a php webapp. I have a folder /home/seal/www as webroot. I have assigned www-data to group seal. So apache has read write access to /home/seal/www . Now the problem is how can I edit files owned by www-data? Is it good security to add seal to www-data group? [20:05] ebian i am using synergy righ tnow and it doesn't do that [20:05] what are you talking about [20:05] disappearedng, Yeah that's not possible. You can use x-forwarding to make the program on one computer show up on another but you cannot slide across monitors [20:05] red2kic, that page RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows is such a mess that I couldnt work it out. which method should i use? [20:05] any idea? http://pastebin.com/2u5phT7d, I'm trying to compile a simple Hello world on Ubuntu 10.10 [20:05] duncan-nz: I have no idea. I don't use Windows. :P [20:05] disappearedng, You're right. synergy does not do that, sorry about that.

[20:07] I have a contact who isn't very computer savvy, but has been provided with a PGP decryption program by his employers. I have no idea where to get PGP for linux. So, can PGP be used to decrypt files encrypted by GPG? [20:07] nightshade: seahorse? [20:07] Can anyone here help with my previous request? [20:07] nightshade, you have gpg installed. look up seahorse - you\ve also got that installed. [20:07] how do I decrypt a pgp message with gpg? [20:08] what's seahorse? [20:08] <_antant> jpds, when I boot up I get just a flashing cursor for quite a while. I've tried plymouth to get a splash screen up, I've tried grub-customizer.

[20:09] can anyone confirm or rule out my sudo bug? [20:09] Or smb://Ip [20:09] i just set up an ubuntu cups server yesterday :o [20:09] SudoKing: i don't think so, but on antoher windows 7, it works fine [20:09] hmm [20:09] disappearedng: also I'm not sure xinerama is working on some of the later released stuf, seems it was suposed to be replaced but doesn't work the same way [20:10] can pgp be used to decrypt gpg files? [20:10] stef_: is authentication required to print? [20:10] seal: You can read abt recommended permission settings here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/security_tips.html === silentz0r_ is now known as silentz0r [20:10] SudoKing: no [20:10] nightshade: you mean the other way around? [20:10] the way i said. I don't have PGP, i have GPG. And the recipient has PGP [20:10] and i came looking for the same command... need to sign the ubuntu code of conduct [20:11] hey i can't get my monitor out of standby [20:11] please help [20:11] guys i need help [20:11] how can i change color on IRC chat ? [20:11] zer0s: is it a monitor problem? [20:11] btw, to you think DOD can crack GPG? [20:11] <_antant> Anyone got any hints to this... when I boot up I get just a flashing cursor for quite a while. I've tried plymouth to get a splash screen up, I've tried grub-customizer. Nothing helps [20:11] sudoking: yeah [20:11] i mean i saw some people can change the bg color and font color [20:11] nightshade: doubtful === ashish is now known as wizash [20:11] something like that [20:11] SudoKing: do i have to change some thing in smb.conf for cups to work ? [20:11] good [20:11] but i don't think its a hardware issue [20:12] stef_: there are a few settings... but you said your other win7 client worked fine [20:12] so not sure [20:12] scarleo: I will have a look thanks. [20:12] SudoKing: yes indeed :/ [20:12] what i meant by monitor problem, i meant i can't it it out of a black screen state [20:12] when i close the laptop [20:12] i have to force a restart [20:12] hello. what can I do with the OCP? the sound cracks, snaps always after start and pause [20:13] sudoking: i tried messing around with the power controls, but to no avail [20:13] Hello [20:13] stef_: i referenced this thread yesterday: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82828 [20:14] hmm, i just remembered something. Maybe i can email him the encrypted message over email, but how would i get him the decryption key? If they intercept the message, they can intercept the key (if i emailed the key) [20:14] hmm [20:14] i am having a problem with my install of netbook edition, ubuntu works fine(obiviously),but i can no longer boot into win7 starter(acer aspire 1 d255e) does any one know how to fix this [20:14] any ideas? [20:14] nightshade, it's called public key encryption [20:14] zer0s: I wonder if the close the screen is seen as a key stroke? if so maybe you can change it so that it halts or shutdown instead of hybernate [20:14] nightshade: normally you give them a publick ey [20:14] gpg --list-keys [20:15] Has anyone tried out a System76 computer? Are they reliable? [20:15] if i give anyone a way to decrypt it (public key) it isn't secure [20:15] nightshade, you have two keys, a public and a private, the public can only be used to encrypt messages to you, and can be shared freely, the private can both encrypt and decrypt. Don't share the private one. [20:15] sacarlson, i set the power controls to have the system do nothing when the laptop lid is closed [20:15] and still nothing [20:15] or a key in general [20:15] have checked the forum ,no luck [20:15] what do you mean? [20:15] hi there === krepsj is now known as Kreps [20:16] i need to get him the decryption key or he can't read it [20:16] nightshade, you give him your public key so you can encrypt messages to him, he gives you his public key. Then you both verify that you have received the correct key from the right person [20:16] nightshade: go watch some videos of this guy http://www.youtube.com/user/emiemi2 he explains the details of pgp and symetric encryption very well [20:16] i got a group called webmin how to add a user called user1 to webmin ? [20:16] does GPG do it? [20:16] nightshade, look up public key encryption on wikipedia, and probably symmetric encryption as well, that's what you're thinking about [20:16] <_antant> Anyone got any hints to this... when I boot up I get just a flashing cursor for quite a while. I've tried plymouth to get a splash screen up, I've tried grub-customizer. Nothing helps === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [20:17] nightshade: we have that nice gui for keys in Applications>accesories>password and encryptions keys, but maybe it's a server not a desktop install?

[20:19] edbian all [20:19] Deck`, all? file-roller open almost all. Just double click on them in nautilus. it should open automatically. [20:20] have a 1.5tb ext hdd ubuntu see's it but i can not find on desktop to open files [20:20] nightshade: the other cool thing that might work is left click in nautilus to unencrypt and encrypt pgp files [20:20] kaysilver, What kind of format is the hdd? ntfs? [20:20] kaysilver, Does it show up in computer? [20:20] yes [20:20] my 10.10 server box started dumping me into initramfs during boot, unable to mount the root HD. is the best way to solve this 'update-initramfs' for a live cd? [20:20] kaysilver, yes to which? [20:20] itshows up in gparted and disk utility [20:20] edbian when i right click on archieve and choose "Open in program" there is only one point - "connect archieve" and when i double click on the archeve it mounts like a flash card and happens nothing. To get acces to the data i have to click again to iceon on Desctop [20:21] ntfs [20:21] Deck`, What happens if you double click it? [20:21] kaysilver, Does it show up in places -> computer? [20:21] nightshade, are you still there? [20:22] so, yeah [20:22] kaysilver: probably it was dirty unmounted and you need a "force" switch to mount it [20:22] running netbook can't find computer [20:22] so, how would it work? [20:22] i give him my public key, and he can decrypt it? [20:23] nightshade: Have you even bothered to do ANY background research on public key encryption? === Dan08 is now known as Dan08-Away [20:23] * Dan08-Away is away: Gone away for now [20:23] all i know is that i can't just send it over gmail even with gmail's SSL [20:24] because i'm not just hiding from other hackers here, i'm hiding from DOD [20:24] How can I move the nm-applet widget ?

[20:25] that's all i can say [20:25] guy_: It is. [20:26] guy_: 5 months ago :D [20:26] Oh, it's released? Guess I need to check more often, lol [20:26] <_antant> Guys, I get no graphic splash screen. All I get is a flashing cursor, then a textual splash screen (vaguely purple with 'ubuntu' in the middle), then very briefly some info on some services starting up. How do I change this? I've spent about 3 days googling and trying various different things and nothing's worked. I'm about to kill someone! [20:26] and that's probably too much already [20:26] my 10.10 server box started dumping me into initramfs during boot, unable to mount the root HD. is the best way to solve this 'update-initramfs' for a live cd? [20:26] If you kill yourself, can I have your computer? [20:26] hahahaha [20:26] <_antant> Not myself. Someone else [20:27] oh . . . [20:27] nightshade: Go back to momma's basement any play with your starwars action figures and leave the national secrets leaks to some one who knows what they are doing. [20:27] <_antant> lol [20:27] nightshade: don't worry the FBI has been tring to break some pgp and gpg files for years to crack a case with there 1000's of computers working in paralell and still can't break it in 1000 years [20:27] <_antant> Sorry [20:27] good. I thought that was RSA tho [20:27] _antant: can you do a screen or something ? [20:27] <_antant> I'll reboot and upload a pic [20:28] SudoKing: still doesn't work :( [20:28] anyone good with apache? [20:28] nightshade, i'm still having trouble [20:28] what could be the reason for the unicode char shortcut (ctrl-shift-U, followed by hex) to stop working ? when typed, the underlined lowercase 'u' that used to appear doesn't, and the hex code is not underlined either (it's just plain text) [20:28] can you help?

[20:34] I have this idea here, please tell me if it has any merit.. instead of checking for disk integrity (after say 30 mounts) during startup, shouldn't it be done when the system goes down for a shutdown? [20:34] kaysilver: where is it mounted ? [20:35] at sdb1 [20:35] kaysilver: provide an output from "mount" [20:35] <_antant> dagon666: Here we go http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=w86efq&s=7 [20:35] ok [20:37] <_antant> Really hoping you can help me find a solution to this.

They both work fine from the console, but when X loads they are non functional. I noticed that there is no longer an /etc/X11/xorg.conf on my system. Where do I configure the input device? [20:50] This is after an upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 [20:51] gusg: then there is not much you can do I think [20:52] so is what is currently listed in ubuntu package repository (software Center) what is there is what you get? or or other package avaliable like snort puresure.. ? [20:52] dagon666, thanks. Is there a way to gracefully log out, at least? I know I can force a shutdown from another tty. Can I force a logout [20:53] gusg: This is nowhere graceful -- but restart gdm could "log" you out. :\ [20:55] should I be worried if I get a segmentation fault whenever I use nautilus to navigate to "/usr/bin" ? [20:55] red2kic, I'm not sure how I can do that. I think I'll just issue a shutdown from another tty [20:56] Heya! I've got the ubuntu natty alpha, but it won't let me start unity.

I look into the box and do dhclient and it works. but it doesnt do the dhclient on it own. even thought I have auto wlan0 in .etc.interfaces [21:01] _ohm, it looks like it's an upstream problem as well, so if you have success you might want to consider contributing a patch [21:03] sysop3: I've always used scripts to auto start wlan, seems I needed to add sleep 5; before I start dhclient wlan0 [21:04] <_antant> Only other thing to sort now is...

Any ideas? [21:15] Conky: Unable to load image '/home/realeyes/.album' [21:15] <_antant> any recommended tools for finding out what I DO need? [21:15] Hello all, I'm having problems with my CDs mounting. I just put one in and it mounted automatically and correctly, and now suddenly CDs stopped mounting. How can I fix this? I tried that CD again and even it won't mount again [21:15] where can I get this '~/.album'??? [21:15] <_antant> I just want to make my boot time as quick as poss [21:16] loko: seems kind of old what version of ubuntu is this? [21:16] Conky: Unable to load image '/home/realeyes/.album' [21:16] where can I get this '~/.album'??? [21:16] Inphernal: Did you eject the old cd thru the menu (or right click on the icon), or did you just hit the button on the cd player itself? [21:16] RealEyes: you can just make one....but there won't be any images in it til you put some there [21:16] what images do I need to put there, th0r? [21:17] Im trying to make conky show what rbox is playing [21:17] ryhtymbox [21:17] RealEyes: I have no idea.....whatever conky is looking for [21:17] sacarlson how do i find the version? This is not my machine, I am just trying to help out a friend and I am not familiar with Ubuntu myself [21:17] conky is looking for ~/.album [21:17] where is all my album art? [21:18] any advice, th0r? [21:18] sacarlson 8.04 [21:18] RealEyes: your album art is whereever YOU put it, and conky is looking for whatever YOU told it to look for. Both answers can only come from you [21:18] loko: ok is that still supported? [21:18] drc: Physical button [21:18] i've made a series of scripts (nautilus script folder) and they work fine on local files, however they dont do anything on ssh mounted filesystem (mounted with nautilus), they do work on the same mount via cmd, what is there to do? - example script would be http://paste.ubuntu.com/583061/ [21:19] I didnt put any album art anywhere [21:19] all the albumart comes with each album I get. [21:19] RealEyes: then it isn't surprising that conky can't find it [21:19] its in my ~/Music folder but there are all these other folders for each album [21:19] How do I make conky grab those? === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:19] loko: is that the desktop version or the server? [21:19] server [21:20] Inphernal: Then my guess that ubuntu thinks that the old cd is still mounted (thats been my experiences with cds)...the menus are there for a reason [21:21] drc: I'm a new convert from Windows, so I assumed it doesn't matter. How can I fix that now [21:21] loko: then you should be able to install sudo apt-get install build-essential should install the headers [21:21] Learning :) [21:21] sacarlson I tried that (and it installed just fine) but not the headers for a vmware tools compile [21:22] sorry so long, but i just got to ask. here goes. [21:22] I have researched, and now I must ask. CCTV question. I have an HP pavillion slimeline. It has two coaxial connectors in the back- “atsc” and “catv”. I have a camera that uses one yellow (video) and 0ne white (audio) connectors. They are connected to an rf modulator that has an “out to tv” connection. TV works fine. How do I use my computer (with hardy 8.04) for the obvious advantages- recording, sending video to sec [21:22] ure server. [21:22] brain_again: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:01] 11.04 on one partition and Linux Mint Julia on the other..... [22:01] the overlapping (icon?) is now changed [22:01] Jordan_U: how to specify a cd's fs ? [22:02] You shouldn't have to specify an ISO CD's filesystem - that should be completely automatic. [22:02] not sure I like the Unity interface (2d version) but will try to give it a chance rather than typical knee jerk reaction so many in the Linux world are used to doing [22:02] kontagious, how about deleting that applet, then adding it again [22:02] DasEi: CDs don't have a filesystem (at least not in the normal sense). You need to start a program that understands the format of audio CDs. [22:02] while its typically automatic sometimes the filesystem is forced its usually iso9660 or udf [22:03] weird0{}: my knowledge ends there, too [22:03] MrStryker, i clicked delete and it removed the whole bar (applications places etc) [22:03] How do I get the wind speed next to the clock in the top bar again? It's magically disappeared [sorry for repost, no-one answered] [22:03] hey all quick question i got 2 ubuntu box's and im getting some ODD transfer speeds nautilus samba share: 2mbs max, smbfs mount 10mbs max... im on a gige lan any suggestions on how to fix the slow transfer speeds? [22:03] kontagious, create a new panel :( [22:04] weird0{}: also if I mount cd manually, I can do it on whatever dir [22:04] oh man lol i shouldnt have messed around [22:04] alguém? [22:04] fala português? [22:04] kontagious, happens to everybody it seems [22:04] and there is no question for fs type .. well, overasked I am then [22:04] DasEi, its not too often i mount cd's for any purpose than to read them which is usually automatic. [22:04] Zuzak, If you're talking about the "Weather" applet, right-click, choose "Unlock", move it to the left slightly. Otherwise, delete the applet, then re-add the applet. Double-check the applet's properties. [22:05] George_e: You may be able to work around the problem by "eject"ing the CD from the first user's nautilus then inserting the CD again while logged in as the user you want to access the CD with. [22:05] hey, sombody saw the last chapther to Naruto jejejeje =) [22:05] kontagious, at least it can be built up again to ur liking now [22:05] yeah i was just hoping to help solve the bug [22:05] Jordan_U: I'm logged into the other account through SSH. [22:05] problem was og George_e to mount a cd under a certain account [22:05] dnt 4get to lock everything to the panel once you have arranged things [22:05] of* [22:05] What is the way to load drivers upon ubuntu installation process ? "linux dd" isn't understood by the system [22:06] how do I rearrange items on the system panel ? [22:06] MrStryker, i'm taking some time before looking into that application i'm afraid i've caught a cold, and passed out last night on accident without taking 1 of my medications, so for now, i'm here to assist and ask questions :) [22:07] DannyButterman, most support for most supported devices requires no intervention, it is built into the kernel [22:07] MrStryker, what is the shut down menu called? [22:07] kontagious lemme see [22:07] DannyButterman, otherwise its finding the driver and compiling from source and making sure the proper files/modules get to where they need to be [22:08] Jordan_U, I know that one can make a mac bootable mac os X flash drive by "Restoring" a disk image to the disk (while in Mac OS X) [22:08] Maybe we can look at this from another angle... what exactly happens when an audio CD is inserted? What commands are invoked? [22:08] kontagious, it is indicator applet session [22:08] MrStryker, you know wether there would be anything different with that too just copying the files? [22:08] thanks :D [22:09] ("restoring") [22:09] if we can look on the positive side, the overlap is gone [22:09] kontagious, yup, usually stuff like that happens when the resolution has changed [22:10] hmm i never changed a setting like that [22:10] need to cat mutliple files and grep matching files .. but cat *|grep -l -e "pattern" wont work .. what am i doing wrong ? === Dan08 is now known as Dan08-Away [22:11] * Dan08-Away is away: Gone away for now [22:11] weird0{}:I already have the drivers, they must be installed from a floppy disk at the beginning of the installation process. The readme states that one should use "linux dd" at the "boot:" prompt. That doesn't work. [22:12] DannyButterman, i believe you misunderstand the direction of how to install the drivers and i have never in my life installed a driver for anything that wasn't built into the kernel until after installation had been completed [22:13] DannyButterman, be very careful using the dd commmand as it can wipe entire hard drives given the correct syntax and privellege [22:13] I'm brand new to ubuntu and linux, I just installed it onto a virtual machine, and I wanted to try an dinstalle an apache webserver onto it [22:13] anyone got any good documentation? or guides to help me [22:14] DannyButterman, in fact, i never learned the useful things dd was for other than for erasing drives and media because of the years of horror stories i had read on here about backing up and restoring dd drives [22:14] I cannot connect to my WLAN Internet on ubuntu [22:14] Why? [22:15] b1lly, any webserver you'd install from a virtual machine is not likely to be functional on the net [22:15] cvcb, do you see SSID's being broadcasted ? [22:16] Nope [22:16] weird0{}: really? [22:16] i have not lied [22:16] weird0{} : B1lly : That is not true. I run vm guests as production web servers. [22:16] I resized an NTFS partition with a live CD (intending to set up dual-boot) and now when XP boots I get a "unmountable_boot_volume" bsod. When I look at the partition I meant to resize to 56GB, it's ~500MB and there 56GB unallocated. [22:16] I use KVM/qemu/ libvirt [22:16] cvcb, look under network-manager-gnome and see if there are any SSIDs when you right click or highlight that [22:16] is there a way to run 2 OS? than instead of a VM [22:17] cvcb , go into terminal and type iwconfig [22:17] If I want to make a script to simply launch a file, what filetype does it have to be, and what should the #! point to? [22:17] Ok [22:17] fxhp, what hardware are you dealing with if i may ask and what virtual machine software do you use ? [22:18] b1lly: you cannot run two Operating system concurrently without a virtual machine [22:18] I thought it would be simply #! /bin/sh and the filetype would be *.sh but I guess not [22:18] it says no wireless connection for both lo and etho G0053 [22:18] hi guys, i have a question: i have 2 hard disks. i have several operating systems on both disks. Now, i have the grub installed in one of that disks, but i want to place it in the other disk. how can i do that? [22:18] weird0{}: amd dual core, and I use kvm virtualization (qemu and ubuntu) [22:18] fxhp: can I choose which one I want to run during startup? :P [22:18] G00053 * [22:18] cvcb does ra0 say anything or does it not exist ? [22:19] Does not exist [22:19] cvcb, do a sudo lsusb -v i think it is from terminal, try and find your wireless device, and look for other peoples solutions to getting it to work over the web, on google, and ubuntu forums [22:19] MrStryker, is there a way to remove network manager applet from notification area [22:19] b1lly: that would be a dual boot system, but I wouldnr recommend that setup for a production server [22:19] im really just doing it to familiarize myself with ubuntu and linux [22:19] kontagious, you can remove it from startup [22:20] Ubuntu 10.04.2 will not install for me. [22:20] I typed that and I got a bunch of text.. [22:20] MrStryker, do you know how to do that [22:20] cvcb, what weird0{} said. i got my wireless working by simply typing in the model number of my wireless card into ubuntu forums and following some steps [22:20] I'd really just like to install it, learn how to install things on it, configure things, just get some general knowledge with it [22:20] b1lly: well, you could run the livecd to 'get a feel for' ubuntu linux [22:20] K [22:20] I'll try [22:20] kontagious, system>preferences>startup applications [22:20] b1lly: without installing [22:20] weird0{}:http://pastebin.com/hzXYkuVS [22:20] you will see it as network manager [22:20] MrStryker, and would it effect my connections [22:21] fxhp: than how would I install apache or anything on it [22:21] nope, not a bit [22:21] ok brb gonna try restarting. i think this turned out for the best i like starting from scratch [22:21] cvcb, chances are many people have dealt with the same thing , focus on finding the model of your wireless card, then go from there [22:21] wait [22:21] lol [22:22] Hi all. Is there a kde-meta package i can install? I would like to install kde 4.6.1. [22:22] don't 4get to lock down everything [22:22] dang [22:22] b1lly: you can install software on livecd, but it will dissapear after a reboot. For testing and learning I would recommend dual booting thought. [22:22] G00053: can I just connect via LAN and use the additional drivers program or will that not help at all? [22:22] ok so [22:22] I don't have a cd burner software and am using windows 7 [22:23] cvcb, i had to install drivers and create text files with rules to blacklist other drivers, it only took about a minute to do once i found the correct solution [22:23] b1lly: can windows 7 mount an iso image? [22:23] Yes [22:23] is there a certain way to burn it to the cd to make it bootable [22:23] im not sure [22:23] Use PowerISO [22:23] Under windows === Dan08-Away is now known as Dan08 [22:23] Ok I'll try out some things and see if I can get something working [22:23] * Dan08 is back. [22:24] b1lly: you just said you didn't have a burner... [22:24] if you connect via LAN it will probably help as you will be able to work on the same machine obviously [22:24] hahah :D im back [22:24] b1lly: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/mount-an-iso-image-in-windows-vista/ [22:24] i dont have burner software, windows 7 allows you to burn data files to cd or music? [22:24] okay, so i'm trying to run wingide with the --system-gtk option, which would use gtk for the window decoration. however, it doesn't seem to use the fonts i have defined in the appearance settings in gnome. how can i change these settings, then? [22:24] Hello. If I compile Python 3.2, and have that folder in the Desktop, Is it safe to deleted after Python has been installed? [22:24] Download the latest ubuntu iso and mount it [22:25] b1lly: Have you already read the steps here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [22:25] sorry i was past the point of no return [22:25] hey guys , im having a problem with my file permissions, i want to set "allow executing file as a program" but the check box automatically clears 1 second after .?

[22:25] hey guys , im having a problem with my file permissions, i want to set "allow executing file as a program" but the check box automatically clears 1 second after .? [22:25] Osmodivs: should be ok to delete the source code... you could test the theory by renaming it [22:25] Question: Is it normal for the process monitor to cause processor usage to go to 100%? [22:25] hello anyone that can tell me on howto uninstall my ati drivers in ubuntu 10.10 ? [22:25] samuel1122, open the terminal, sudo chmod +x /path/to/file [22:25] <_antant> samuel1122: sudo chmod +x file [22:25] hey guys , im having a problem with my file permissions, i want to set "allow executing file as a program" but the check box automatically clears 1 second after .?
