[01:04] suicidolt: well if it is an executable, you have to tell ubuntu that it is allowed to be executed, rather than just read or written to [01:04] Axsuul, could your server could be running a shell that does not support that? [01:04] how do I do that? [01:04] suicidolt: in terminal chmod +x ./chatzilla [01:05] suicidolt: chmod modifies permissions, +x is executable, and ./chatzilla is the file name [01:05] crap, gotta exit, brb [01:05] suicidolt: i m sure you can right click > properties, and make it executable that way too [01:05] how do i configure the xorg doohickey for multiple monitors?

[01:44] Auriga: oh, well when you open a program it is going to appear on whatever desktop yoou have open, that's always been the case, just wait until it is open then switch desktops [01:45] randomuser, No it's not trapped. [01:45] ok, that's a step in the right direction, I made a launcher for chatzilla, now I just want it to show up in my applications pop-up thing so that i can pin it to my sidebar, how do I do that? [01:45] Auriga: it isn't which desktop you were on when you clicked it, more the one you are on when it opens [01:45] sl33k_: not sure, but i know it's common with python setup.py scripts [01:45] hi guys [01:45] suicidolt: you can make a launcher wiht the same stuff in it as the link? [01:45] hi n4pst3r [01:46] do you speak spanish [01:46] installed, thanks overclucker [01:46] suicidolt: right click, move, move it to where you want it [01:46] n4pst3r: try #ubuntu-es for Spanish [01:46] mickster04: the link built the program out, I built a launcher to run it [01:46] mickster04, Yeah I know that for other programs, in that I do just wait, but with a VM there is more than one part to the boot process, it will move when it first opens, then when it gets to the boot screen, then once again when it is logged in. At least lol. [01:46] nice takns [01:46] yer welcome [01:46] eamon: the sidebar doesn't work like that in netbook linux I don't think...unless I'm wrong [01:46] try it === zeleftikam[S67] is now known as zeleftikam[bed] [01:47] Auriga: i don't think there is a solution to that... it is just the way VM works [01:47] suicidolt: well whatever the launcher does, create it again but when you make one on the panel [01:48] Hello, I heard Ubuntu got rid of the scrollbars. How do I get that feature in my box? Preparing to install Ubunut 10.4.2. Thanks. [01:48] mickster04: I don't know how to make one on the panel [01:48] vicsar: scroll bars are still available in ubuntu :p [01:48] vicsar: unity you mean ? [01:48] suicidolt: right click? [01:48] mickster04, Still worth asking to find out for sure though. Thanks all the same.

I just want to try the alternative [01:49] vicsar: commong release , see above [01:49] Auriga: i think that is more a fundamental piece of gnome functionailty, the focus thing, of course you can stop it but it'll be beautifully complicated :p [01:49] i* [01:49] mickster04, "beautifully complicated" I like that. [01:49] Auriga: :D [01:50] Yes, I have a problem in ubuntu 10.10 where I edited the grub file line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga= 784..." I placed a "#" before "vga= 784 ......" in the program called GRUB CUSTOMIZER but I think I was supposed to place the "#" before "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" . Now everytime I try to go back and edit the grub file and run sudo update-grub, I get the following error "/etc/default/grub: 33: =: not found" [01:50] Auriga: elaborate please? [01:50] network manager or wicd wont allow me to connect to wireless networks people have been having simmilar issues, i already did make and make install for the driver again, and again. i edited the wpasuplicant, to no avail, i use the ralink rt5390 for wireless [01:51] mickster04: right clicking on the sidebar doesn't seem to do anything [01:51] Thanks. Rephrase: How can Unity be installed in 10.04? [01:51] eamon, Take a look for yourself, but personally I don't like the look of Unity. It's basically the new WM that Ubuntu will have when 11.04 is released. [01:51] uabn93: what's on line 33 of the grub.conf file? [01:51] suicidolt: ooh side bar? you don't mean panel? uhm good luck with thta [01:51] I will check.. [01:52] Auriga: I'm not downloading the new ubuntu.... can't you describe it in text? [01:52] mickster04: it's whatever is on the left side of my screen in ubuntu netbook [01:52] eamon, Youtube... [01:52] suicidolt: yeah ok, no i dunno how to do that :/ [01:52] does anyone know how to add a launcher to the sidebar in ubuntu netbook? [01:52] My scanner device is at /dev/bus/usb/004/002. An ls -lah 002 in this directory gives me: crw-rw-r-- 1 root 189, 385 2011-03-21 02:48 002 <-- is '1' the owner? Who the heck is '1'? What's that 189 doing there? [01:53] suicidolt: drag the launcher there¿ [01:53] suicidolt: left click, add to panel.. [01:53] err, right [01:53] Oh, actually, I think the '1' is the amount of files that link to that inode. [01:53] right clicking on it doesn't do anything [01:53] which leaves the 189 which is a complete mystery to me. Whatever does that mean? [01:54] is it even called a panel? [01:54] are we referring to the same thing? [01:54] suicidolt: is that comma after 189 in the original, or a typo? [01:54] suicidolt: sorry, mistab >.> [01:55] surial: is that comma after 189 in the original, or a typo? [01:55] http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p145/Suicidolt/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png <--the thing on hte left [01:55] no, it's in the original. [01:55] and its followed by a space, then 385, which i presume is the size of something. [01:55] Auriga: It looks like ubuntu is copying Mac OS X http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/5076533585_3cf50de4d9_o.jpg [01:55] I guess that's nothing new... [01:55] i installed gthumb and now opening up all my folders from Places shows up in gthumb - can i get that to change back to nautilus somehow? its annoying [01:55] The entries for . and .. have all whitespace where the entry for device 002 has "189, " [01:55] surial: odd. If it weren't, I'd say 189 is the group ID, which ls shows if it can't resolve the GID to a group name. dunno what the comma's there fore, though. [01:55] ="" is on line 33 eamon. The exact same text is on line 34 as well. [01:56] rww: Strangely enough I can't manage to make ls list any group info whatsoever. [01:56] network manager or wicd wont allow me to connect to wireless networks people have been having simmilar issues, i already did make and make install for the driver again, and again. i edited the wpasuplicant, to no avail, i use the ralink rt5390 for wireless [01:56] surial: o.O [01:56] please help [01:56] rww: Isn't it? [01:56] rww: Does ls strip out the group name altogether if the group name is equal to the owner name? [01:56] Here's a sample line from a file from my homedir: -rw-r--r-- 1 huisbak 0 2009-09-22 01:58 .screenrc [01:56] surial: oh hey, I have it too on mine. hrm. [01:57] rww: The 189? [01:57] surial: yes. but I also have group information... [01:57] I'm going to change some groups around, see what happens to ls. [01:57] I get this on my machine: crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 128 2011-03-17 03:13 /dev/bus/usb/002/001 [01:57] anyone know how tto add a launcher to the thing on the left: http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p145/Suicidolt/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png [01:57] Sorry... i got disconnected. Anyways I was here: [01:57] rww: Well, confirm that. ls -lah simply doesn't show any group information. [01:57] Rephrase: How do I install Unity in 10.04? [01:58] The ls man page only tells me how to turn groups off (--no-group), not how to turn it on. [01:58] vicsar: repos arent ready, either install the testing, or for just an idea use a vm [01:58] Oh, f.... I'm an idiot. [01:58] surial: http://paste.ubuntu.com/583134/ , although admittedly I'm on Debian. ls output is standardized though... [01:58] I aliased my ls to ignore groups. [01:58] oh. lol. [01:58] okay, so one mystery down, one to go. [01:58] Damn. That was stupid of me. [01:58] Indeed. [01:58] did anyone read my post? [01:59] DasEi: you said right click but when I right click there, nothing happens [01:59] ...I just answred my question. If anyone is interested you can take a look at this: http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [01:59] vicsar: you can do on 10.04 probably, but I don't want to break your --working system, else ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:59] surial: if I had to guess, I'd say it's something to do with character devices (that being the c at the start of the line). hrm. [01:59] the thing on the left appears to be called the "launcher" [01:59] DasEI, you are right [01:59] uabn93: I'd say yoou should hash those lines out too. Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/etc/default/grub (file) [02:00] I forgot to mention that I deleted what used to be on line 10, which was " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=792 splash quiet" " [02:00] okay, I have my groups back. Now back to /dev/bus/usb... Okay, device 002 is owned by root. Why? Shouldn't scanner own it? [02:00] network manager or wicd wont allow me to connect to wireless networks people have been having simmilar issues, i already did make and make install for the driver again, and again. i edited the wpasuplicant, to no avail, i use the ralink rt5390 for wireless [02:01] I also unhashed " GRUB_GFXMODE="640x480" " [02:01] Can I just chown this, or are these files in /dev/bus/usb dynamically created as USB devices are plugged in and out? [02:01] Hi everyone. Is there any way I can find out where the Software Center install of ircd-ratbox stored its .conf file?\ [02:01] anyone recommend a good accounting software? [02:01] vicsar: old guides usually tend to...not work anymore [02:01] surial: I think pretty much everything under /dev/ is dynamically created by udev these days. [02:01] suicidolt: ah, no thats unity, too, I'm still using gnome [02:02] a1fa: ask in off topic? [02:02] ? [02:02] eamon, Which OS are you running...? [02:02] so basically, I install linux and ask for help from the community and get told, sux to be you? [02:02] Thought as much. So how can I tell udev to make this as scanner. Or.. is there something else wrong? scanimage requires me to run as root, even though I'm in the scanner group (and so is saned). strangely enough sane-find-scanner does work, though it returns very slightly different information if run as root. [02:02] suicidolt: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229475 [02:02] could someone please help me, i am trying to create a directory /mnt/hpc, but i am getting "permission denied" i have tried "sudo mkdir /mnt/hpc" and doing "sudo su" then "mkdir /mnt/hpc" but every time i get: "mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/hpc': Permission denied" anyone know why this might be happening? [02:03] suicidolt: unity isn't really that fully functional yet i'm afraid, you can use normal desktop mode at log in? [02:03] suicidolt: you installed natty ? #ubuntu+1 [02:03] DasEi: no, nbr [02:03] . [02:04] mickster04: ah, I see, thought that had an adopted gnome, good to know then [02:04] what's natty? and why do I feel like I installed the "wrong" ubuntu, I just clicked through the downloads like it told me to [02:04] DasEi:it's ok, nbr is being removed anyway [02:04] Auriga: OS X and gentoo linux, why? [02:04] suicidolt: you haven't downloaded the wrong one, just an odd one [02:05] see above, suicidolt, so ask for unity or try in #ubuntu+1 [02:05] Crazy ramdom question: Can you create a virtual machine, say virtual box, then image the virtual drive atransfer it to a real life computer?

[03:08] im having a problem running java applets for coursework. i have the sun jre installed along with the plugin enabled in browser. i run the java test on the sun site and it works fine and simple applets that report the plugin version work [03:08] i've tried ff 3.6, 4. beta and chrome [03:08] all with the same result [03:08] what's the probelm visual1ce?

[03:28] BosInt: you just enter your username/password [03:28] mickster04: well it says (http://paste.ubuntu.com/583158/), pasted [03:28] ok i do it [03:29] Arisaka_Shrike: no i don't want that, i want the error message, [03:29] oh, right, hang on [03:29] Jordan_U: good a minute in #grub or fine with pm ? [03:29] got, Jordan_U [03:29] Where do I submit a Debian package for review to get it appear in Ubuntu repositories? [03:29] <_ohm> What does it mean when something is "in your PATH"? [03:29] Arisaka_Shrike: i knew that wouldn't work, so that error message is pointless to me -_- [03:29] hey guys...ive been using virtualbox on my server..but im looking at kvm because it seems to handle thigns like server upgrades much better [03:30] DasEi: Sure, I'd prefer #grub to a PM (assuming it's a grub related support question). [03:30] grendal-prime: and your problem is? [03:30] and...well sysetme shutdowns..and automatic starting of vms...but it looks like the management tools for kvm are a bit...well not so friendly [03:30] mickster04: this is the only thing that it says after I sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. http://paste.ubuntu.com/583159/ [03:31] _ohm: your PATH is a list of directories that hold binaries of applications on your box. [03:31] compaired to like virtualbox that is. [03:31] and are the vms compatable with one another? [03:31] iwould think they were..but...well you know not sure..

[03:32] Arisaka_Shrike: is that what you have going on? the fix is also mentioned [03:32] mickster04, you use kvm? what does the default tasksel give you in line of a management interface? [03:33] <|Stygian|> please overlook the CTCP msg. It was a misunderstood kvirc command. (my apologies) [03:33] no i don't but you didn't give us a problem [03:33] management tools. [03:34] are there any decient ones for setting up vlan, ha, clustering [03:34] im talking for kvm that is. [03:34] mickster04: But I don't think I have a different version of Python installed. Do you know a way to search for one? (hang on, it also says that python-profiler could fail to install if Python 2.7 isn't installed) [03:35] _ohm: you added that to your .bashrc? and it would be export PATH="/config:$PATH" [03:35] mickster04: But when I type python --version in the console, it says "Python 2.7.1".

[04:17] edbian, ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 [04:17] iTails|Installin: what type of file ? [04:17] DasEi, I know but what I am trying to do is to create ln with more familiar names than gnome-longname-that_I_will_never_remember to something simpler like: something_I_will_remember but would like to put them in my documents folder so when I back up my system, all my ln's will be readily available for backup.. That is the reason why [04:17] galamar, can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file (the problem is in here) :) [04:18] i installed my ati drivers and it bugged out [04:18] hi, everyone! [04:18] DasEi: well, the folder it's in is a tar.gz [04:18] b1lly, Just remove them [04:19] how, im new to ubuntu [04:19] DasEi: I wanted to try to run it in Terminal, but I couldn't figure it out. [04:19] iTails|Installin: so lets have a closer look , open aterminal [04:19] i clicked something and it i just clicked install lol [04:19] DasEi: okay [04:19] b1lly, What driver did it install? fglrx ? [04:19] iTails|Installin: mkdir asus [04:19] when i login is says david but my username is douglas [04:19] idk i didnt even look tbh [04:20] how can i fix this [04:20] iTails|Installin: driver is on disk ? [04:20] DasEi: yes [04:20] b1lly, what is the output of lsmod | grep fglrx ? [04:20] iTails|Installin: left click, copy + paste in your new asus folder [04:20] fglrx 2523725 100 [04:21] b1lly, That means you installed fglrx. sudo apt-get purge fglrx [04:21] b1lly, that command will remove it. [04:21] is that a list of my drivers? [04:21] DasEi: alright, then repeat the same command? [04:21] edbian, www.pastebin.com/zieaeevz [04:21] help? [04:22] iTails|Installin: cd asus && ls , file there now [04:22] b1lly, lsmod lists all the modules that are currently being used. (linux calles drivers modules) so yes. [04:22] b1lly, grep just filters the list to show only things with 'fglrx' in the name [04:22] galamar, reading... [04:22] iTails|Installin: file there now ? [04:22] galamar, This is blank? [04:22] DasEi: alright, now it recognizes the folder, now what do I do? [04:22] edbian, thats what i thought [04:22] do you type it like this [04:23] lsmod | grep fglrx [04:23] iTails|Installin: copy the tarball from cd into that dir [04:23] help [04:23] galamar, haha, did you type in right? gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [04:23] DasEi: alright, i recognized the folder and then it says "Is: command not found" [04:23] my username isnd what it shows when i login [04:23] how can i fix that [04:23] b1lly, lsmod lists them all. lsmod | grep fglrx will show the rows that have fglrx in them. [04:23] isnt [04:24] iTails|Installin: ls = lower LS [04:24] what does grep stnad for [04:24] b1lly, After you remove the package (sudo apt-get purge fglrx) restart the machine [04:24] DasEi: "Is: command not found" [04:24] b1lly, It doesn't stand for anything. It's a great name on it's on I guess. It filters the output of lsmod [04:25] Hey gang, here's my situation, maybe someone can help. I have the Creative XFI Xtreme (which uses the Audigy chipset and has issues with ALSA) so I went full on OSS4. Sound is currently coming through pcm1, which is correct. Thing is, sound will sometimes work, sometimes not. BUT, I found out that if I go to say, shoutcast.com for example, and get a stream playing and mute it, I have no problems. I guess what I'm saying is t [04:25] hat for it to work properly 100%, PCM1 will need to stay "open", since it seems like it's closing and opening and that's causing the sound to sometimes work and sometimes not. [04:25] edbian, there was only 2 linesin the file..... www.pastebin.com/ziEAeeVz........... i didnt know if the caps mattered [04:25] b1lly, You can grep anything though. Like a file, grep banana somefile.txt will show all the lines of somefile.txt that contain 'banana' [04:25] and what about apt-get [04:25] iTails|Installin: ls in terminal not found ? [04:26] can i grep *.txt [04:26] DasEi: yeah. [04:26] DasEi: I am thinking it might be a bad install, but not sure. I think i'll download the 10.10 ISO and burn it to a disk. [04:26] galamar, make it look like this: http://pastebin.com/WVLv1viC [04:26] Ok, I need some help. I've been trying to resize part of my external hard drive to make it a swap file. This is taking a very long time. I'm carving out only a few gigs. There is no status bar, just that circular spinning thing that goes clockwise. [04:27] iTails|Installin: have you got wired inet on it ? [04:27] edbian, sweet 2 minutes [04:27] i'm going to restart my pc brb [04:27] galamar, Then restart networking: sudo service network(ing) restart (I'm not sure about the ing) [04:27] ubuntun00b: why [04:27] galamar, I have to go! Any more questions? [04:27] unity looks goofy [04:27] edbian: shut down pc or restart? [04:27] b1lly, Is there a difference? [04:27] mrdeb: So I can have ubuntu on an external hard drive [04:28] DasEi: no, unfortunately my ethernet controller went out on this motherboard. This PC is old. Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 512MB DDR 400MHz, ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP (256MB Overclocked) [04:28] iTails|Installin: if so (or just the box you're typing on here): sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:28] so no [04:28] DasEi: nope. [04:29] iTails|Installin: so that might not work, because if it's not just a module, but a compile, we need additional stuff, no old nic lying around ? [04:30] galamar, ?? I have to go [04:30] DasEi: I'm not sure what a "nic" is [04:30] network-card [04:31] DasEi: No, I had bought a PCI network card off newegg, but it was DOA. I just have the worst luck with wireless adapters. lol [04:31] iTails|Installin, network interface card = nic [04:31] iTails|Installin, network interface controller actually. According to wikipedia [04:31] edbian, yes [04:31] galamar, I have to go. Any last minute questions? [04:32] iTails|Installin: if not supported nativly, you'll probably need additional stuff, well we can have a glance at that thingy least: [04:32] DasEi: yeah, just a sec [04:32] edbian, i get unkown instance for networking................. and unknown service for network........ [04:32] galamar, Just restart then. Easier than trying to figure out the command ;) [04:32] galamar, Have a good night! I have to go [04:33] can anyone else pick up where he left me if i still need help? [04:34] DasEi: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320049&Tpk=ASUS%20USB%20N10 [04:34] DasEi: That's the adapter I had bought. [04:34] iTails|Installin: in terminal you are in asus dir now ? ls should show the ~tar.gz, let's assume it's there: [04:35] DasEi: yeah im there [04:35] itails what brand is the wireless card? [04:35] voss749: ASUS [04:35] iTails|Installin: tar -xvf *tar.gz , [04:35] does it extract ? [04:35] itails, I know this sounds crazy, but use tp-link their wireless cards are atheros based [04:36] okay after rebooting it says device not managed. in the wireless notification area. [04:36] DasEi: "tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory" "tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now" [04:36] Ok so I'm in the middle of resizing a partition on an external. I open up GParted and it says "0 operations pending" but I started resizing 2 hours ago and nothing ever said I was finished. [04:37] iTails|Installin: look in gui , was it a .tar.gz file ? [04:37] Most people havent heard of Tp-link but they are a good chinese brand [04:37] DasEi: Yep. [04:38] All TP-LINK cards that I know of work with linux out of the box [04:38] I need help getting three monitors set up with my ati card. Works in windows fine but can't get it to work in ubuntu. ati settings manager says I need to restart to apply settings but then defaults to mirrored no matter what I change. [04:38] DasEi: Would it hurt to extract everything out of the tar.gz and put it in the folder? [04:38] iTails|Installin: so seems it's not in asus folder , can you navigate there by gui ? right-click, extract [04:39] DasEi: alright, i extracted the folder [04:39] iTails|Installin: go back to terminal [04:40] iTails|Installin: cd ~/asus [04:40] iTails|Installin: ./configure [04:40] does a thing ? [04:40] so dumb of me to delete my gfx driver flgrx [04:40] DasEi: "base: ./configure: No such file or directory [04:41] wassup guy? can i share a webcam over a local network? [04:41] help [04:41] itails, why mess with a wireless card that doesnt have drivers already in the kernel? [04:41] DasEi: there are .sh files within the folder, would I have to run chmod? [04:41] how come i cant see [04:41] my username is different than what it shows me when i log in [04:41] alist of people that are in this irc chat [04:41] iTails|Installin: so semms no compile, really, w/o it's like a crystal ball, either a runfile or a module, hmm, sh files [04:42] voss749: I went cheap with a wireless, thought it would be easy, but I guess you get what you pay for, lol. [04:42] DasEi: theres a runwpa file in here too [04:42] itails, tp-link is cheaper and works correctly [04:43] iTails|Installin: looks fine to me, though I don't that model, but without inet I can gather info very hard only [04:43] DasEi: would there be a way to somehow grab updates via Windows XP? I have XP on the other HDD. [04:44] iTails|Installin: you get mad by typing all that in, doing something in the dark can bork system and not unlikely a update would/might fix things already, an err ls is a basic comand [04:44] iTails|Installin: no [04:44] is there a way to automate ubuntu to automatically go on standby or something after x time [04:44] Random I know, but does anybody know what the default web root for IIS 6.0 is? === Guest86662 is now known as DarkDevil [04:45] DasEi: alright, so I guess im pretty screwed in terms of getting this hooked up wireless lol. At least until I can afford another wireless adapter. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest83816 [04:45] DasEi: it works fine in XP and I've tried it on hackintosh (teehee), but Linux seems to be the only one that isnt supported, lol [04:45] iTails|Installin: easiest would be wired net,like a usb to rj45 or such, and don't through out money for no need [04:46] throw* [04:46] help [04:46] anyone got more advice for the bcm4306 wireless issues? [04:46] my login is different than what it shows me in the welcome screen [04:47] iTails|Installin: give me , as last resort a minute, so I can search a database for it [04:47] DasEi: well, part of the reason i had bought the wireless adapter is because ethernet will not work at all. Even in Windows. I guess it's just my motherboard. Can't blame it, it's been around since 2003, lol. [04:47] cow can i fix what it says in the welcome screen so it maches [04:47] DasEi: alright. :) [04:47] iTails|Installin: laptop ? [04:47] DasEi: desktop [04:47] so a used nick is 2 bucks, if at all [04:48] faster all the way [04:48] galamar, I'll assume you've "un-blacklisted" the driver in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf => or that you've tried to run your "Hardware Drivers" utility to see if a driver is available to install for that wireless card? [04:48] * DasEi is in [04:48] !hcl [04:48] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:49] DasEi: alright, I'll head to my PC shop tomorrow after work and see if they have any used ones or new ones. I would prefer new tbh, but whatever gets this on the net. Thanks for your help. :D [04:49] voss749: I'll look and see if they have tp-link adapters there too.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [06:13] And Loshki, how come my rm -f doesn't work to delete just two files? [06:14] Because I did a rm -help and the -f is the switch for deleting everything in a folder but it doesn't work! Go figure [06:15] Somebody asked me if I was the owner... Of course I am yes! [06:15] StepNjump: rm -f doesn't guarantee removal. Try 'rm -vi' to get more feedback on why the rm fails === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [06:17] Loshki: one think that bugs me about linux is that commands like that dont give any information about the completion of the task [06:17] Loshki: rm -vi doesn't work [06:17] hi ali i have a question: how i can change My AGP speed for better bandwidth 66 Mhz to 72 Mhz [06:17] !work | StepNjump [06:17] StepNjump: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. === Guest75595 is now known as Vr_Ray [06:19] Radios: I have to admit, it's a failing of verbose settings, and rm isn't the only culprit... === MrStryker is now known as group [06:19] anyone know why it takes me like 1-20 times for a drag n drop of a single file into rhytmbox to work? (dragging mp3 from nautilus to my ipod in rhythmbox) === group is now known as FreakyFruit === FreakyFruit is now known as Bawn [06:20] Loshki, like I said before, when I perform a rm -f, the only thing that happens is that I go back to the prompt. Nothing else is echoed back. And when I do ls, I still see my two files sitting in /home/system/links (a dir I just created). I even tried sudo rm -f to no avail. [06:21] Loshki thank you for the manual. I downloaded it. Didn't know about that [06:21] StepNjump: just 'sudo rm -f'? Try naming the files explicitly e.g. sudo rm gnome-session-properties startup_config [06:22] okay so it appears i am just having trouble getting my bcm4306 wireless card to scan everything appears to be set up fine. and drivers installed but it just wont scan. anyone know how to fix this? [06:22] StepNjump: What filesystem is /home/systm/links/ on? What is the exact command you are running? What is the output of "stat /home/system/links/*" ? [06:23] After installing the nvidia 96 driver I now have a black screen on bootup any way to fix this? Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 [06:24] Loshki, sorry I should have told you that it works when I specifically specify the file name. I was just curious why rm -f wouldn't work. I come from DOS days and rather use the terminal than the X for certain things... It's really just for fun because I could have just used nautilus! [06:24] Hi, I want to install ubuntu on a raid array, do I need to install the alternate? [06:26] Jordan_U, all my system is in Ext4 and I pasted the output of stat at http://paste.ubuntu.com/583199/ [06:26] StepNjump: rm -f usually needs a filename, and the -f really means 'ignore failures'... [06:26] lastent: FakeRAID or real hardware RAID? [06:27] StepNjump: And what is the exact command you are running? [06:28] Jordan_U, I suppous it is real, I make it on my bios, I think my mainboard includes raid support === big_t_ is now known as big_t [06:28] Loshki, oh you are right! I just did a man. I shouldn't have trusted what I read on the internet! lol http://www.computerhope.com/unix/urm.htm sorry! So that brings me to another question: How does one do a del. on linux? [06:29] lastent: If it's a desktop machine then it's most likely FakeRAID, i.e. the CPU and software still do all the work. [06:29] Jordan_U I was just trying to delete all files (2 files) in that directory (eq of del. or del *.* in DOS) [06:29] StepNjump: And what is the exact command you are running? [06:30] Jordan_U, well so maybe it is fake, I am not sure [06:30] StepNjump: different linuxes (and sometimes different versions of the same linux) have slightly different options. Sorry... [06:31] Jordan_U, Loshki just made me realize it was wrong: rm -f.. There was a website that it was the way to do it... I was wrong. I should have doublechecked in the man pages first to ensure the validity of this website [06:31] Jordan_U, I configure the array in the a program like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch_RDNSX5V8&feature=related [06:31] lastent: It should work with either the Desktop or Alternate CDs, but unless you need to dual boot with Windows on the same array I would go with normal linux software RAID. [06:31] how do i find out what my wireless device module name is? [06:31] Loshki oh really! mmm didn't know that. But we are all in ubuntu. I'm on the netbook remix 10.10 [06:32] Jordan_U, I need to dual boot but windows is in another disk [06:33] how can I deveolp ubuntu OS my native language? [06:34] StepNjump: yes, but the web page you looked at probably isn't ubuntu-specific... [06:34] hi all. is there a special channel for Natty queries? [06:34] lastent: Then I would disable the FakeRAID and install using linux software RAID (which does require the alternate CD). [06:34] yep probably... They should keep all those switches standard across the distros. I didn't know that. Live in learn! [06:35] lastent: FakeRAID is supported, but it has no real advantage over linux software RAID. [06:36] Jordan_U, my raid array will appear as one disk in window$? if I use the linux software RAID [06:36] ? [06:36] lastent: No, Windows doesn't understand linux software RAID. [06:37] i am using xchat2 and it always tries to connect me twice to freenode. this is with the same nick so i have to always close one of them [06:37] StepNjump: actually they kind of do make an effort to standardize nowadays, I think posix has specs, so it's getting better... [06:37] hello [06:37] does xchat2 have a startup-file? [06:37] Jordan_U, so better I use the FakeRAID [06:38] i have p4 , 2 G ram. is it enough to install ubuntu 10.10 ? [06:38] ok ok Loshki, yes I thought we were all standard with posix.. Must be a trademark issue too [06:38] I was wondering if anyone knew of a media player that does motion interpolation [06:38] anyone using dell Inspiron mini 1018 with ubuntu 10.10 [06:38] the wifi is not working after upgrade to 1.10 from 10.04 [06:38] after upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 all windows can't move,how can i do? [06:39] lastent: If you want to be able to access the data in Windows, yes. Note that Windows also doesn't support the ext4 filesystem by default (there's third party software for ext4 support but I don't know much about it personally). [06:39] junk: #ubuntu+1 [06:39] NontonJe: yes [06:39] thanks Jordan_U [06:40] lastent: You're welcome. [06:41] Or perhaps an mplayer addon that will let me do interpolation? I should be able to play 60fps files on most monitors [06:42] Hello? [06:42] how to run a windows aplication through wine ? [06:43] Hello. Could anyone assist me. I troed install a deb yesterday and it was freezing, i killed the process and now every time i go to reinstall it freezes on unpacking no matter what. This is the second time it has happened. Last time I was forced to re-install my OS.. [06:44] It just wont go past it. If I use dpkg, it will not even die if i kill it. It will just sit there forever [06:44] Have you tried removing it from synaptic? [06:45] it qont remove [06:45] or perhaps even marking it for reinstall? [06:45] its in a breoken state [06:45] um i told you [06:45] ifd i try to install [06:45] it freezes on unpacking [06:45] if i try to purge it says it needs to be reinstalled [06:46] its jdownloader btw [06:46] last time it was a system update === Guest39069 is now known as DarkDevil [06:46] idk if its a package bug or a apt bug. but its definitly something [06:46] any ideas to fix === DarkDevil is now known as Guest82431 [06:47] if i can i need to remove its existnce from apt manually as it wont do it normaally [06:48] i'm 3/4 the way through the instructions on the master kernal thread and stuck on #11: "If you have a wireless internet device, you must enable your wireless drivers in the kernel. The easiest way to do this is to press Ctrl + F and search for your wireless device module name." [06:48] how do i know the module name? [06:48] if anyone wishes to see, http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/pzgower1/Selection_074.png [06:48] its been like that for like 5 minutes [06:48] how can I uninstall package without it uninstalling one or more of the dependencies that go with it? I installed digiwf but can't solve ruby seg fault, so I don't want uninstall of digiwf to remove libimage-exiftool-perl [06:50] !enter | pcfreak30 [06:50] pcfreak30: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:51] Anyone help. This is basically blocking me from installing anything as it forces to install this package then freezes.. [06:54] Anyone know how to remove package without removing some of its dependencies? [06:56] shawnboy: try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1513821 [06:57] I set "Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button" in Mouse Preferences, but now if I hold down the primary button, both buttons get triggered when I release.

Please suggest me the fastest way, have googled but gone nowhere [07:01] wage: Thank you. I'll read that. Looks promising. [07:04] ndxtg: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome has a command about 3/4s of the way down (once you get to actual command line stuff), find . -depth etc, that'll copy from current directory (.) to /new/, modify to suit your needs.

I wanted to move my arch linux installation to other hardware. I created a tarball (preserving permissions/ownership) on arch, and extracted it to a new partition using ubuntu(on the new box). that all worked fine, I can now dual boot arch and ubuntu... [07:24] now after some time, I found that some UIDs/GIDs were wrong. it seems the mysql dir was owned by a UID that didn't exist. researching this, I found that the UID mapped to mysql on ubuntu! wasn't tar supposed to just use UID/GID and not try to map it in any way? [07:25] why does ubuntu have to change gnome desktop? [07:25] grub2 when load complain for syntax error linux-bzimage file not found any help [07:25] :'( [07:25] coolroot: you can still run gnome... [07:26] yeah but not supported much from the ubuntu admins i think [07:27] mostly are dealt by this new unity desktop [07:27] im planning to shift to debian i think it's better [07:28] is it a bad idea to change the home directory for the www-data user? [07:28] streblo: What's it now? What do you want to change it to? [07:28] jink: its /var/www/, i want to change it to something that isn't being served by apache [07:29] streblo: i've changed it without issue... it being a "bad idea" would depend on how comfortable you are with apache config :) [07:29] streblo: Why would you want to do that? :) You can, of course. [07:29] jink: i'm using a library in an application i've built that looks for a config file in the user's home directory [07:30] eww :) [07:30] my reason was a security review deemed it bad practice to have private content contained under apache's home dir (which seemed like BS)... I changed it just to make them happy [07:31] i'm trying to figure out how to bypass the config within the library [07:31] or just tell it to look in another directory besides the user's home [07:31] or just symlink the config to /var/www and document it thoroughly on your wiki? [07:31] but i have deadlines, and so in the meantime im thinking about just changing the home directory for the user [07:32] lyte: the problem is the permissions. the file it's looking for contains config info, like a secret key [07:32] i dont want that to be in /var/www [07:33] just installed ubuntu 64 bit and update manager showed up but when I try to use it it pops up with the error msg that action would require installation of packages from not authenticated sources and when i click details it lists libpst4 [07:36] brophat: Try clicking check again.

[08:37] yes [08:37] or add it, as I just wrote, to your shellrc file [08:37] (export is part of the commend you have to write) [08:37] does each user in linux have a UID?

[08:40] passwd. [08:40] ty [08:40] so Fuchs, I need to add PATH=$PATH:/new/entry:/and/another/one to that file you told me about? [08:40] pwd would be print working directory, password doesn't exist, neither does setpasswrd. [08:41] andruha: you can use the command apropos in order to look up such things, or use tab completion (e.g. write pass and then press the tab key) [08:41] StepNjump: with export, as I told you. Export is part of the line. [08:41] oh! [08:41] is it possible to move the network connections icon near the clock? [08:41] NCS_One: you can move the notification area [08:42] fuchs, thanks good to know :) im just learning linux and i'm completing these exercises (or whatever you call these) that tell me to do something I try to figure it out... Just need a bit of help from time to time [08:42] for some reason it moved to the right of the clock :( [08:42] andruha: no problem. But I recommend that you get familiar with the commands: `man` (for manual page), `info` (for info page) and apropos, [08:42] NCS_One: drag the dots near the network connections icon [08:42] Hi [08:43] andruha: they help you offline, e.g. if you have no internet access to ask us or other online documentation [08:43] Fuchs, sorry I never have done this. Just want to make sure I add line export and all the rest at the end of the file ~/.bashrc, right? [08:43] ruan: no dots were [08:43] StepNjump: yes [08:43] NCS_One: left of it [08:44] StepNjump: it should not matter where you put it, but at the end is probably a good idea [08:44] Fuchs, if so, do I need to reboot afterwards, logoff or nothing needs to be done to compile? [08:44] NCS_One: just try to drag what is left of the icon [08:44] Fuchs, i know about 'man'.. used it a couple of time, but it could give TOO MUCH info and just confuse me more. Sometimes simple answers are much better :P [08:44] hi all [08:44] StepNjump: just log out and in again. You can check with su - `whoami` (hit enter) echo $PATH (hit enter) first [08:44] andruha, I know what you mean! [08:44] i am new to this and would like to ask for some help with ubuntu raid [08:44] wow. I learn a lot here. Thank you very much Fuchs [08:45] andruha: as manpages are displayed in your pager (probably less) you can search with the / key as well. Just as a side note, of course you can ask here. [08:45] I have a question about gparted and ubuntu I have a computer where ubuntu was installed on /dev/hda6 which is under a logical partition and not a primary. There is also two windows partitions that I want to delete and use the complete harddrive for ubuntu. The problem is that in gparted it is not possible to resize a logical partition, but it is possible to copy and paste the partition to the empty space. If I moved /dev/hda6 to that space w [08:46] Fuchs, awesome! thanks for helping me :D i gtg though, its almost morning :*( [08:46] no problem. Have a nice day. [08:46] you too === Guest93453 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest98702 === sonne_ is now known as Sonne [08:49] my problem is that i have installed ubuntu server on two 1TB drives that runs on raid1, and after i connected another usb drive the server wont start. when i removed the usb drive the server still dont start. i need to get information off the hard drives then i can reformat or whatever i need to do to set that up again, but first i need the data [08:49] stauki: Your message got cut off at "to that space w" can you post the last part of your message again so people can see the whole thing [08:49] what's equivalent to /etc/inittab in ubuntus fs? [08:51] DJones: oh sorry ... If I moved /dev/hda6 to that space would ubuntu still boot, or do I have to reconfigure ubuntu if the root partition is no longer on /dev/sda6 [08:51] is there anybody that can help me to get to the data on the drives? [08:51] Or is it possible to change the number of the partition somehow afterwards [08:52] I would need more ifno pikkie [08:52] pikkie, can you be more specific [08:52] info [08:52] pikkie: I think your message got truncated as well [08:52] where can i start? [08:52] pikkie, start with what you're trying to do specifically [08:53] pikkie: What OS do you have. How to want to access it (SSH, Graphical) [08:53] i have installed ubuntu server on 2 1TB drives that run in raid1 [08:53] pikkie: and why to want to access it [08:53] it worked ok but then i attached a 1TB usb drive. i added this to the /media/1TB [08:54] to see if it was there (USB) after reboot i rebooted the server but then it says there is not boot drive. i detached the usb, but now there is still nothing [08:55] stauki: I'm not sure personally, but if you ask again in a few minutes, somebody will hopefully be able to help [08:55] koodough: i have ubuntu server 10.04lts [08:56] koodough: i wanted to access the server to add the usb drive, but now i am stuck [08:57] DJones: I'll wait and see then otherwise I'll have to do it the hard way... :D thanks anyway [08:57] 大家好 [08:57] i cant just redo everything because there is data on that server drives that i need [08:57] Ubuntu os as good as Mac? or better? [08:58] Hi ! I have installed KDE then I don't have the folder "Desktop" in my /home, is this normal? [08:58] koodough: there is no gui [08:58] Agent008, haha better :D [08:58] Frazer, make one [08:58] it will match whizken ? [08:58] pikkie, the server version doesn't come with a gui unless you specifically ask it to install [08:58] Agent008 , that just personal believe :D try it and make your own opinion [08:59] Frazer, i'm not sure you should definitely try it though [08:59] Agent008: mac and ubuntu are both unix. Just choose the right tool for the job [08:59] Hayo all, i'm trying to chown files on a cifs mounted windows share, but the user doesn't change, anyone know what i'm doing wrong? [08:59] Agent008, you have to understand that those are pitiful questions... [08:59] whizken: yes. and i do not want the gui anyway [08:59] A real linux player --without gui [09:00] Agent008: mocp? [09:00] !info moc [09:00] moc (source: moc): ncurses based console audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.5.0~alpha4+svn20091009-1build4 (maverick), package size 219 kB, installed size 644 kB [09:00] whizken: it does not :( [09:00] pikkie, you're trying to locate a usb 1tb drive in /media? [09:00] all i want now is to boot the server so i can access the data and get that off the drives, then i can start all over with installation of the server [09:00] pikkie, tried a live cd? [09:00] whizken: the server does not boot now [09:01] Frazer, have you googled? [09:01] pikkie, how long ago did you install the server? [09:01] ArmChairWarrior: i am not sure how [09:01] pikkie, the best thing to do is reinstall if you just installe dit and didn't make ne changes [09:01] pitiful?? [09:01] Hmm just put in your ubuntu client CD and go to the 'try' option. I don't know if Ubuntu server can do live [09:01] whizken: i installed it two weeks ago and it ran fine. just friday i added the usb then all the problems started [09:02] I am new here, so iwant to start with an easy question [09:02] I tried doing that just today, 10.10 didn't work, but I had an old 8.04 cd that did [09:02] Agent008: yes/ [09:02] ? [09:02] I use ubuntu as main os aobout 1 year [09:02] ArmChairWarrior: ok i will do that then come back later to report [09:02] pikkie, is your usb drive still connected when you reboot? connect any external devices and reboot it [09:02] connect? You mean disconnect right? [09:02] disconnect [09:02] yeah lmao [09:03] ArmChairWarrior, great name lol [09:03] It's irony too [09:03] whizken: there is nothing attached to the server. only the two drives inside [09:03] Since I was in the military, but I make fun of all the 'armchairwarriors' with the alias :P And thank you [09:03] what's the message when you boot it up? [09:03] pikkie, message when you boot it up? [09:04] Agent008: what is the question? [09:04] Ruan you scared him off. [09:04] whizken: the message is that i cant find the boot drive [09:04] ArmChairWarrior_, you're deviating from the topic and should take it #ubuntu-offtopic [09:04] compare with mac and ubuntu [09:04] I thing ubutu's better , just because it's for free [09:04] Agent008: mac - 0% open source, ubuntu - 100% open source? [09:05] pikkie, i haven't messed with a server iso in almost a year and only for a few days if i did [09:05] OSX actually have some open source code. [09:05] hmm ok. but not much i assume [09:05] pikkie, i suggest you wait for better assistance or reinstall if you didn't do much to the server [09:05] Afaik it's way more difficult to harden a OS X server as it is to harden e.g ubuntu or *bsd [09:05] He's trying to get his files off the HD [09:06] whizken: i cant reinstall before the data on the server is backed up [09:06] ArmChairWarrior_, oic [09:06] I think a Live CD would be your best bet, then just FTP all of your files to another machine if you have one available [09:06] yeah... is there any hack software intoduce me? [09:06] Agent008: what type of hacking? [09:07] Anyone know why my harddrive crashes in Linux when I'm on battery-power? [09:07] wireshark, start with that :P [09:07] use in linux ubuntu. [09:07] There must be something wrong with the Kernel. [09:07] such as remote connect [09:07] Agent008, hacking is playing around and toying with software [09:07] !hacking [09:07] A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy [09:07] lol, i always start doubting a person's intelligence when he/she asks for 'hacking software' [09:07] yeah, soft ware and internet [09:08] >.> [09:08] I learn c++ and php . [09:08] Good start [09:08] ArmChairWarrior: I have other pcś available but maybe i can connect a usb drive when the server is running and send the files there [09:08] It's hard for me to program a hack program [09:08] Agent008 don't think about hacking at that early stage :D just go on and learn c++ [09:09] If that works for you, pikkie. If you set up an FTP or a Windows share, you should be able to access it via live CD [09:09] thanks ... I will... [09:09] Thanks i will try that first. [09:09] xarinatan, thats everyones perception when they enter the game with their drive powered by movies they saw on tv... when finally they reach the truth of what it is.. then they decide if they're staying [09:09] Mount your HDs (it's all real easy in the gui) and simply connect and drag and drop your files [09:09] Hey but, i'm still kinda stuck with my problem, i'm trying to chown files on a cifs mounted windows share, but the user doesn't change, anyone know what i'm doing wrong? [09:09] I think linux just for hack and the software developers.. [09:10] i use linux as i used windows [09:10] a bit more advanced though [09:10] Agent008: Also maybe look up "backtrack" - it's a distro dedicated to penetration testing. But general knowledge is required to make use of the tools. [09:10] Agent008, not true. for end users too :) [09:10] xarinatan, chowning to a windows user or linux user? (not much exp with cifs) but if it's a windows user have you tried their UPN? [09:12] ArmChairWarrior_: I have a windows file server and a ubuntu HTTP/SVN server (or so it will be once i finished it), i mounted a share from the file server in ubuntu using cifs, but all files that i create are owned by root, no matter what i do or how i chown it. [09:13] xarinatan you can specify the uid and gid for the cifs share when you mount it [09:13] Which is quite annoying since that disables apache from properly accessing the files [09:13] Yea but, i want to use multiple usernames, or is that not possible? [09:13] try this: chmod [num] [filename] [09:14] whizken: it was a config in KDE that I had to check "View the content of folder", by default it does not ! [09:14] Give me a sec I'll see if I can recreate that [09:14] i tried chmodding it to 777 but apache still tries to eat my face off when i want to access my files. [09:14] Plus it's not a very good security practice to chmod them to 777 >.> [09:14] I met the same question [09:15] ---can not access file form windows share [09:16] But I figured it out by config windows settings [09:16] xarinatan so what is your goal? have http/svn and also allow smb access on windows? [09:17] I have multiple servers setup at home, and i have a windows file server to host all the files using samba, and one hypervisor that hosts all the virtual machines that i have, and i'd like to put the files that i'm gonna create with SVN on the file server. [09:17] Frazer, i don't understand [09:18] oh nvm enable it in a config file [09:18] Ubuntu can use IE ? Cause in Chinese without IE, means you can do little. [09:18] Agent008, lmao [09:18] you're funny dude [09:18] what's lmao? [09:18] Agent008: You can try wine, but there's plenty chinese support in other browsers. [09:18] means i'm laughing [09:19] Agent008, you can use chrome which is a fully translatable browser [09:19] Hello guys, I'm writing a little gnome panel applet that has to stop/start/restart a service. the problem is that my service requires the user to "sudo" ... so how, just like the package manager, ask the user to type his password in a popup window then execute that command (assuming he is in the sudoers and that in the console the command would have worked fine if he sudoed it) ? - I'm sure there must some gnome api function for that [09:19] firefox is not suppoted by BankServic [09:19] Is there anything I could type in term in order to view all my applications instead of having to click? [09:20] !ies4linux | Agent008 From memory this will only allow you to install old versions of IE, [09:20] Agent008 From memory this will only allow you to install old versions of IE,: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

Use Firefox! [09:20] fayce: you can call gksu(do) [09:20] wine.? I am using it. [09:20] thinks for your info [09:21] Fuchs: thank you so much ! I'll try that :) [09:21] xarinatan well what i have done is i have a directory on the file server that has my bzr repository and i use bzr+ssh to access it on all machines i have [09:21] Agent008, yeah firefox is a bombass browser... i hated it... went to chrome... then went back to firefox and love it [09:22] ....Haha, you are funny.. I never use chrome... [09:23] Ok good night everyone [09:23] exit [09:23] firefox is not widely use.... althougt it's safty is better than IE [09:24] xarinatan, do you get an 'operation not permitted' [09:24] yeah chrome smells funny [09:24] please don't be silly [09:24] Are you Windows + linux? Or just linux? [09:24] ArmChairWarrior_: No i don't get anything at all, as if it just works, but if i do ls -la it still says it's owned by root [09:25] I just got operation not permitted when I tried. I'm on Ubuntu Server 10.10 [09:25] what about sudo su? and try again? [09:25] lol, i am root [09:25] Agent008: don't do that [09:25] !sudo | Agent008 [09:25] Agent008: 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 [09:25] Anything in your logs? I'm going to try some more things [09:25] Why? I don't have any important date in my notebook.. [09:26] Agent008: because the link I've just sent you via ubottu explains how to use sudo [09:26] Agent008: bad practice - it may matter in future [09:27] Hm, can't chown the mount point either. Maybe that's by design though, never tried :P [09:27] ArmChairWarrior_: what file system is on the mount point [09:27] xari... chown, and how much users you created? Maybe the "root" means another acount [09:28] Agent008: bi ut doesn't [09:28] it -could- be that it's because NTFS doesn't support that kind of permission data [09:28] xarinatan: there we go [09:28] well look, you're not changing anything on the windows side [09:28] Go to your windows files, and the permissions will be for your windows local user [09:28] Both your share and NTFS permissions [09:29] and you 'took' those permissions when you mounted the windows share in linux with your supplied username/password [09:29] I set it on the windows side to give the user in question all rights on the files, and on the linux side i wanted to finetune the permissions per linux user [09:29] So it's not Windows, I'm thinking, it's Linux (doublechecks his files to be sure) [09:30] ikonia: ntfs [09:30] ArmChairWarrior_: that's the problem then [09:30] if you are using the ntfs, and not the ntfs-3g driver, ntfs will be mounted read only [09:30] you can use the `mount` command without arguments to see how the partition was mounted [09:30] It's mounted read-write, and it's mounted over the network using cifs. [09:31] Right, and you supplied a username/password when you mounted, correct? [09:31] I can create files etc fine, but it always stays owned by root, and i want certain files owned by www-data [09:31] Yes [09:31] QUESTION:hey guys is it possible to install ubuntu on macbook? [09:31] xarinatan: the windows permission model won't work on windows file systems when mounted under unix [09:31] Wonder if you can mount it as the www-data user [09:31] thauriswulfa: yes [09:31] !mac [09:31] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [09:31] thauriswulfa: see above [09:31] ntfs has busisness with permission?\ [09:32] WTF, no security tab? Gdit [09:32] hang on [09:32] ArmChairWarrior_: control the language please [09:32] ikonia: Aren't the file permissions set in the file headers rather than the filesystem data on lower levels? [09:32] xarinatan: but they can't be manuplated [09:33] Agent008: permissions are specified in a different way, which is not recognized [09:33] hi, is it possible to change the MAC address on an unbridged LAN router? [09:33] ikonia: Darnit, meh i had to phase out the windows file server sooner or later anyway, is there a network file system protocol that is as convenient as samba that works on linux? [09:33] aceps: maybe with dd-wrt. Not really sure. [09:34] Of course [09:34] xarinatan: NFS [09:34] hi [09:34] Mac is kind of unix [09:34] I have a problem [09:34] xxxxxx: yes? [09:34] Agent008: mac is bsd [09:34] stauki: afaik NFS doesn't support securing with usernames and stuff o.o [09:34] kaolrec - thanks, will check it out [09:34] Are there any libpurple based IM apps that will run in a terminal? [09:34] xarinatan: it does [09:35] my mouse broke and I can't use my desktop [09:35] ikonia: I'll go look into that then [09:35] i gotta go switch backup tapes now, i'll be back, thanks for the help all! [09:35] NTFS's file's permission only configed in windows [09:35] xarinatan, Look at the file permissions of your files on your windows box. I want you to see that the owner isn't 'root' [09:35] shentino: hmm. there is a way to use the mouse with the keyboard [09:35] shentino yes: finch [09:36] hello, where cookies are saved in ubuntu ? (firefox) [09:36] The permissions are as they relate to Linux. It's not NTFS that is at fault. [09:36] megabraker in your .firefox folder i think, under home/user [09:36] xarinatan: I don't remember it was a long time since I did anything with NFS [09:36] okey [09:37] ProphetPX what did you mean with your nick name? [09:37] megabraker: /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default/cookies.sqlite [09:37] ok ruan [09:37] megabraker: to see it in gui, press ctrl+h [09:37] yep i love console [09:37] xarinatan nfs supports uid and other unix permissions and is ideal for unix to unix mounting [09:38] where i can download driver for printer Samsung ML-1640 ?

I want to use it with multiple systems and I don't want it to remember the ethX name for the NIC on each system (cause eventually I'd get eth123 :)). [09:47] Do I just need to delete /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules for that? [09:47] dimm: I would have though all you need to do is use the add printer option, and search for it on the network, and then pick the samsung driver from the list that should come up [09:47] just run update-grub from a root shell .... fixed [09:47] xarinatan: i dont have it right now, was getting infos before buying, you think it would be worth switching from arrandale to sandy bridge?

But there is no problem before.. [09:49] xarinatan: sorry i didnt specify, i meant to ask if it was worth "stability wise", i mean arrandale is supposed to work 100% isnt it?

[09:50] Adkq093lk: I'm sure there's reviews out there that'll clarify, and 'stability wise' i'm sure it'll work fine, depends on what you mean by 'stable' [09:50] dimm: I'm not sure what will cause that [09:51] xarinatan: reviews about speed and performance? i saw those but noone talked about stability lol, and by stable i mean that if one day i decide to go play assault cube it shouldnt bother me, i seen on forums that 3d acceleration is a lil tricky to get and sensors dont work too well, is it still true? [09:51] aju: I guess part of the command would be to scp or rsync it to the location that you then point your apache configs to [09:52] my PATH seems to have messed up, how to rectify it? [09:52] In my local machine I am using import command. This is for configuring jre for mailserver [09:53] Adkq093lk: I'm afraid i don't know anything about that, it's normal that new devices need a little time to get proper drivers for linux, but the platform itself is quite stable i'm sure [09:53] Hello Pls can somoene direct me to downgrade php 5.3.2 so I can hvae php 5.2.x installed?

[10:00] Adkq093lk: It's a fresh repo, no files added yet [10:01] I'm suspecting it has something to do with the fact i'm saving the files on a cifs mounted filesystem [10:01] aju: sorry that's beyond my familiarity with java [10:01] xarinatan: may be that [10:02] windparadise: did it work? You'll need to restart Apache after changing that setting [10:02] I am doing it now [10:02] xarinatan: google said "cifs has a lot of problems with svn" (just googled it a lil, im not that informed about svn troubleshooting lol) [10:02] lyte : from where i get help in this case [10:03] aju: if no one helps shortly i'd suggest you provide a summary and then a very detailed explanation of the problem on the ubuntu forums [10:04] xarinatan: maybe this may help you? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1289850/svn-repository-on-windows-network-share [10:04] lyte: Thank you...

[12:53] ikonia, no [12:54] ajah: shouldn't cause an issue then, but if you follow the link ubottu will give you in a second, it will tell you how to re-apply grub2 [12:54] !grub2 | ajah [12:54] ajah: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[12:56] elFidel: Thanks, I was just trying to get someone to try to configure the plugin to duplicate the problem. [12:57] I've SSH'd into the webserver he setup in a desperate attempt to get the last bit done, but I'm having some issues due to lack of base understanding of Linux.. [12:57] brandoney: isnt there a project-related irc channel? [12:57] Zanozk: we prefer it when you just get to the point and ask the question :) [12:57] ikonia, can u tell me [ Linux-bzImage , setup = , size= ] the size in this is in hex but in what mesure units refers [12:57] I've managed to login as root, but there are actions I need to do where I need to login as www-data, I do not have the password for this user though. [12:57] I assume I can get it somehow while logged in as root (sorry for the wall of text( [12:58] I didn't see one, but I have been on comptuer all night. [12:58] Zanozk: is this ubuntu? Ubuntu doesn't have a password for the root account by default [12:58] I have the root password, and have logged in as root. [12:58] It's the www-data account I need to login to though [12:58] brandoney: http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/developers.html -> seems like channel is in the gnome irc network [12:58] Zanozk: that wasn't my question [12:58] It is Ubuntu. [12:58] ajah: don't worry about that, it will go away if you re-apply grub [12:59] Zanozk: you can use "su - www- [12:59] Zanozk: you can use "su - www-data" to login as www-data [12:59] Ah, I thought it was that easy. Thank you. [12:59] hello [13:00] hello every one,good evening [13:01] hi everyone i need help backing up a flash video, i fully streamed it and used "cp /proc/"plugincontainer pid"/fd/"numberoffile" /home/"myuser" but when i go in the copy folder nautilus wont show it up, i know its there only if i use ls from cli, is there any way to make nautilus show it? (its not a hidden file i guess there is no dot) [13:02] Adkq093lk: press "reload/refresh" in nautilus [13:02] hi [13:02] ah, thanks. I don't even know if I'm spelling rhythm correctly half the time. And BTW, Justin Beiber really is playing on repeat in the next room, all night so I'm pretty frazzled. Thanks again. [13:02] LOL [13:02] jrib: lol is this a bug? i completely reopened the window (closed actual and gone back) and it wasnt there, thank you fixed it [13:03] Adkq093lk: I'd call it a bug as it's not behavior I'd like for any reason... [13:04] jrib: pretty odd tho, till last week it used to work, thanks again anyways, i would have lost it (i accidentally removed a vid of mines from HDD lol) [13:05] Does anyone know of a way to check if an mp3 is DRM'd? Either CLI or GUI is fine. [13:05] cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr < --why is file descriptors alwayz zero ? is that okay ? [13:06] i can't log in i receive Error : failed to connect to the server . please log in again [13:06] s3r3n1t7: I did a long time ago, when I didn't have so many experiments, now I've got 18 hours of cpu time in those experiments, so makes sense splitting them up. I will investigate whether the parallel thing is the problem though! [13:06] can any one help ?? [13:07] tinuxin, it would be a test ofcourse, to see if parallel is the problem indeed. Also, i assume it has it's own program that you're calling multiple times from a script? Then perhaps monitor the exit codes? [13:07] i lost ubuntu off topic channel code..grrr [13:07] hello .i want to ask why my function fd=open("/dev/viedo0",R_ONLY); always return -1??? [13:07] is that right?

[13:10] dinzy: what does "lol" mean? COZ i heard a lot of people saying so [13:10] hello .i want to ask why my function fd=open("/dev/viedo0",R_ONLY); always return -1??? [13:10] <[TK]D-Fender> ajin: "Laugh Out Loud" [13:11] lol [13:11] <[TK]D-Fender> sky_: [09:08] sky_: "video", not "viedo" [13:11] no````i know that [13:11] i just installed the client from your site and i opened the LASTCO LAUNCHER (short cut) and i registered and i loged in then this msg appear Error : failed to connect to the server .please log in again. [13:11] but still not work [13:11] sky_: no point in asking the question if you're not going to read the responses. [13:11] thank u [13:11] sky_: in what language? and are you sure the file exists? [13:11] Hey Sipior!:) [13:12] <[TK]D-Fender> Dallxar: What client? frrom what site? To connect to what kind of server? [13:12] /dev/video0 : could not set the channel [13:12] i use qt to write a program [13:12] this is the message from it [13:12] <[TK]D-Fender> sky_: That is also a completely different error. Nice of you to finally share that new bit withut [13:12] <[TK]D-Fender> with us* [13:12] http://lastco.net/index.php?categoryid=10 this site [13:12] sky_: first, if you're using Qt, use QFile, second Qt support is in #qt [13:14] no body can help me ?~~~ [13:14] sky_: ask in #qt === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:15] . [13:15] i'm trying to log in to lastco server [13:16] hmm, can't add text description to activity while in hamster quick tracking switcher dialog, how annoying. [13:16] sky_: in what language? and are you sure the file exists? c++ and i have ensure it [13:16] Pls give me the code for loggin into Ubuntu off topic server [13:16] <[TK]D-Fender> Dallxar: You should probably be asking in their own support channel if they even have one [13:16] dinzy: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [13:16] <[TK]D-Fender> Dallxar: that doesn't appear to be an Ubuntu supplied program and is an ".exe" from their own download page.... [13:17] sky_: look, this isn't a programming channel. we're happy to help if it's some obvious syntax error, but we're not going to debug code for you. [13:17] okay thanks [13:17] thnx PIcasso [13:17] sky_: you might try asking the folks who wrote the toolkit you're using. [13:18] ไอ้โจ้ [13:20] Howdy [13:21] Hi Blue [13:22] hello [13:22] hello how can i disable passwd for root using sshkeys [13:23] i mean how can i use only ssh keys [13:24] egoleo: ensure that PasswordAuthentication is set to "no" in sshd_config. [13:25] egoleo: you'll want to make sure that rsa key login is working before making that change :-) [13:25] passwd -l root [13:25] but that line is even commented [13:25] and all seems ok [13:25] egoleo: the default is "yes". [13:26] egoleo: you need to uncomment and change the line. [13:26] to no [13:26] woow [13:26] now it says the key is wrong [13:27] i guess is a good sign === ogra_ is now known as ogra [13:29] Hi...while building a kernel is it necessary to do it from /usr/src.....or can I built it from any location ? [13:29] hello [13:29] anyone know of a good ocr app for ubuntu? [13:29] laserbled: in fact, it's generally considered good practise to build the kernel in your home directory. [13:29] Hello [13:30] where is my swap file ... I don't have a partion devoted to it [13:30] laserbled: you should only require superuser privileges for the actual installation of the kernel. [13:31] if u have enough physical memory, the kernel won't use swap at all [13:31] laserbled: I agree, because if you do it at the office, you'll be interrupted by troublesome work related issues. [13:31] sipior, but...the kernel 2.6.68 goes to over 2 gb while building and it stops since its run out of space....my home doesnt have much space left....so it will work if i built it outside rite..or is there any way that I could reduce the built size ? [13:32] 2.6.68 ?! [13:32] what ? [13:32] ops..2.6.38 [13:32] sorry [13:32] anyone? [13:32] laserbled: doesn't *have* to be $HOME, of course, if you've another convenient spot. or just make a symbolic link to the build directory. [13:33] a big surprise [13:33] sipior , I was in doubt wether the smlink will work...no that helped a lot :) === jonta__ is now known as jonta [13:33] thnx [13:33] I'm having trouble setting up an SVN server, it seems to be installed fine and svnadmin commands work, but the webdav is giving me trouble, can anyone help me out? [13:33] tgywa: See this > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [13:33] Acs: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [13:34] laserbled: you'll generally want to keep /usr/src for kernel sources shipped by your operating system vendor, since your C library is built against that version. [13:34] man sqlite3: 'sqlite> .dump ?TABLE? /home/detlef/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db; Error: unknown command or invalid arguments: "dump". Enter ".help" for help'.' -- Whats wrong in this syntax? === fernando is now known as Guest78575 [13:34] some of the help.ubuntu.com documentation refers to a command called vol_id, but I can't find this command. which package do I need to install? [13:35] Travis-42: packages.ubuntu.com can help you. [13:36] Travis-42: have you got a link to the page you're looking at so we can see what the package is in reference to [13:36] bullgard4, I can't find it on there [13:36] DJones, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID [13:36] probably blkid [13:36] tsimpson, blkid exists, but it's a different command and I'd like to be able to use the vol_id version [13:37] Travis-42: It likely doesn't exist, that page says that it doesn't exist in karmic, and I'd bet no later versions as well. [13:37] ok thanks Pici [13:38] I'm having trouble setting up an SVN server, it seems to be installed fine and svnadmin commands work, but the webdav is giving me trouble, can anyone help me out? [13:38] Travis-42: vol_id just printed the UUID="..." part of what blkid prints anyway [13:39] ok then maybe someone can help with this. I just have a blank drive that shows up as /dev/sdf (or some other letter depending on boot), but doesn't show up in /dev/disk/by-id -- is there some other way I can refer to it by something that doesn't change? [13:39] when i uninstalled evolution, the gnome panel disappeared. can anyone help me out? [13:40] Travis-42: Make an entry in fstab for it. [13:40] te: using what? [13:40] Travis-42: Create a mount point and a corresponding fstab entry. [13:40] hello [13:40] hi [13:40] I always assumed gnomes would be surly, but jeez. Can anyone help me out with Rythmbox by testing a plugin for web interface? [13:40] anybody? [13:41] how do I defragment my hard drive in Ubuntu? [13:41] !anybody | ajin [13:41] ajin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [13:41] te: how do I find the ID to refer to it with? [13:41] Travis-42, does the drive have a partition table(i.e /dev/sdf has /dev/sdf1 etc.)? [13:41] Gulfstream: it's generally not necessary with modern filesystems, unless the volume is very full. [13:41] "Leave message" in lock screen is not working. What can be the cause? [13:41] Gulfstream: you're sure you have a problem with fragmentation? [13:42] Travis-42: But it depends on what you intend to do with the drive. If it is not going to stay plugged in all the time, that may not be the best alternative. [13:42] nils, no it does not have a partition table. it's effectively blank. But I have a different drive that also has no partition table, but shows up in by-id [13:42] sipior: I think so, the system is slow. [13:42] how do I send a message to another user when I am connected to freenode and using empathy ? [13:42] Gulfstream: that's not very convincing evidence :-) [13:42] Travis-42, ah! thats why youre not seeing it in /dev/disk/by* [13:42] gonzo38: you could use /msg or /query, but both is considered rude in IRC. [13:42] gonzo38: IRC is not meant for "instant messages" [13:42] fine, sorry ,i'll figure it out myself. [13:43] Travis-42: Well, you first need to partition and format [13:43] sipior: is there any way to make the system go faster? [13:43] !irc | gonzo38 [13:43] gonzo38: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [13:43] te: that would erase the encrypted data on the drive [13:43] :-) [13:43] Gulfstream: i would check memory first, with "free". is your cpu pegged as well? [13:43] fuchs: sure. let's say, it's a friend of mine, and I only want to ping him [13:43] Travis-42: Well, if there is data on the drive, It has already been partitioned and formatted. [13:43] gonzo38: connect to freenode and use /msg or /query. [13:44] ok I disabled notify OSD thats why "leave message" doesnt work in lock screen [13:44] Travis-42: ... but you just said it was blank...? [13:44] gonzo38: but I really recommend doing this via services meant for that, e.g. jabber, icq, msn or similar. [13:44] te: no, the whole drive is encrypted. no visible partition unless I mount it in truecrypt. so it's effectively blank to linux [13:44] anyone know why my audio doesnt work on my laptop? im on ubuntu netbook using fluxbox i go into alsa mixa all turned up all the way, go into pulse audio play a song and it shows noise is going threw but not coming out the speakers? [13:44] sipior: how do I check that? [13:44] fuchs: That's my concern, /msg returns "unknown command" [13:44] gonzo38: it should not. Try /query or even /notice [13:44] nils -- is there any way to refer to it with some sort of static identifier without a partition table? strangely I do have another similar drive that shows up in by-id [13:45] fuchs: /query, same fate [13:45] gonzo38: they take the nickname and the message as arguments, e.g. /msg nickname message, /notice nickname message or /query nickname [13:45] Travis-42: You said it was blank and had no partition table.... oh well, never mind. [13:45] gonzo38: then get a real IRC client instead. The link from ubottu lists a few. [13:45] actually direct messages is exactly what irc is meant for, that is why the DCC protocol. [13:45] Gulfstream: there's a system monitor utility shipped with the gnome desktop. figure out which process(es) are consuming memory/cpu cycles. [13:45] hola [13:45] te: i said effectively blank and it has no partition table that can be recognized by fstab [13:46] fuchs: hence my question .. how to do that (or can I do that) with empathy [13:46] sipior: I found the System Monitor, now what do I need to find? [13:46] Gulfstream: there's a cpu and memory usage indicator. [13:46] can someone help me get sound on my laptop :( [13:46] Gulfstream: also, *is* your disk nearly full? [13:46] Travis-42, well, not really sure i understand what you're doing here [13:47] I dont know. You could ask in a different channel. [13:47] sipior: not really... I have a lot of space left, so it might be my slow CPU. [13:48] nils -- I have an encrypted drive that I need a script to be able to refer to, but I'm having trouble finding a way to refer to one of two drives because /dev/sdx changes at every boot. Until the drive is mounted by the encryption software, it looks like a blank drive with no partition table. [13:49] how to search in nano? [13:50] ankers: it's useless saying this, no one here is santa claus, post some output of your research on your laptop [13:50] santa claus .. [13:51] aeiofuuuuuu: ctrl+w (where is) [13:51] aeiofuuuuuu, The shortcuts are at the bottom of the screen. ;-) [13:52] hi...there is a folder home/.local/share/tracker which gets created everytime i reboot...i assume it is some indexing info...how can I stop this...i has some 1 gb+ size always [13:52] aeiofuuuuuu, use the arrow keys [13:52] tks === laserbled is now known as yonij [13:53] is there a way to go the a line number in nano [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu: a easy way, give up nano. pick up vim [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu: ) [13:54] laserbeam, quit downloading torrents? [13:54] what? [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu, Dunno, but you can check what like you're on by using Ctrl-C [13:54] *line [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu, look thr options at bottom [13:54] v_v: vim is more complicated [13:54] hhhe [13:54] laserbeam, sorry, tab fail [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu: vim is simple [13:54] aeiofuuuuuu: believe me [13:54] hihi... ok [13:55] how can i zoom into a specific part in my current desktop, is there any possible combinations with the mouse scroll, coz now when i scroll using the mouse, the whole desktop is zooming centered to the mouse pointer. Some key is stuck, but dont know which one, pls help! [13:55] yeah v_v it uses colors :p [13:55] aeiofuuuuuu: 10min you will get used to vim === Gurty` is now known as Gurty [13:55] aeiofuuuuuu, Ctrl+_ [13:55] aeiofuuuuuu, Ctrl+G pulls up the manual. [13:55] aeiofuuuuuu: he is right, ctrl+_ in nano in vim you do :line or vi file +line [13:56] ok, so call me really really dumb, but i accidentally ran "chmod 777 -R /etc" (meaning to run it on a folder in /etc). the repercussions have been pretty wide reaching, not the least of which being that i can't sudo anymore. is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the entire OS? [13:56] pcperini, short answer: no [13:56] pcperini: vastly quicker to reinstall, i'm afraid. [13:56] v_v, I wouldn't wish vim on anyone who was having trouble with nano. :) [13:56] pcperini: or restore from backups, of course. [13:56] pcperini, long answer: you could in theory reset all permissions by hand again, which would take a LOT more time then a reinstall. [13:57] s3r3n1t7, sipior: fair… though it seems just a touch ridiculous that the operating system would be so fragile... [13:57] ctrl+z to the rescue [13:57] vim! [13:57] hi, I'm having trouble starting applications from my home directory after a update/restart today... trying to execute binaries just displays a "Permission denied" error [13:57] pcperini: if you don't know what you're doing, leave superuser privileges alone :-) [13:57] pwuertz: any details ? [13:58] pcperini, there is nothing fragile about it [13:58] jasonjang: good luck ~ [13:58] v_v, what kind of details do you need? [13:58] v_v, the executable flag is set [13:59] pwuertz: what's your app, and what's the basic attributes like lh -l ? [13:59] pwuertz, what kind of permissions are set on the file? are you the owner? [13:59] pcperini, many things break when you smash them with a hammer, unfortunately. [13:59] sipior: i did/do know what i'm doing. i just had the misfortune of missing a few characters worth of subdirectory in the command. something that small, i feel, shouldn't render my system that crippled [13:59] jamesgecko: true enough... [14:00] I can't even quit vim [14:00] lol [14:00] aeiofuuuuuu, escape :q! [14:00] aeiofuuuuuu: :-P [14:00] aeiofuuuuuu: ZZ [14:00] aeiofuuuuuu: shift + ZZ [14:01] aeiofuuuuuu: powerdown [14:01] s3r3n1t7, v_v, I'm the owner, the executable flag is set.. binaries are downloaded (eclipse or blender for example).. or own compiled applications.. they all refuse to start because "permission denied" [14:01] aeiofuuuuuu, Press 'i' to get into edit mode. Press escape to leave edit mode. Type ':wq' outside of edit mode to save and quit. ':!q' to quit without saving. [14:01] pcperini: well, you're not the first to make such a mistake. consider it a lesson learned: triple-check everything prefixed by "sudo", or a root prompt. turns out most operating systems are pretty easy to cripple. [14:01] s3r3n1t7, v_v, is this some kind of new ubuntu security feature? [14:01] pcperini, if a surgeon misses your lung and accidentily removes a piece of your heart, you will die, despite the difference being so so small. [14:01] pwuertz, i don't have any issues with it, hence i'm suspecting something with just your system. [14:01] yeah… reasonable. unfortunate, but reasonable. thanks guys [14:02] s3r3n1t7, hmm.. calling mount says: /dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user_xattr,commit=0) [14:02] If a source package is installed via "apt-get source pkgname" where is the source installed to? I assumed it would be /usr/src or /usr/local/src but this is apparently not the case [14:02] s3r3n1t7, is "noexec" the reason? [14:02] what is the fastest way to change the default port of a ssh server? [14:02] pwuertz, that'd be my guess. Why, i have no clue though. [14:03] pwuertz: if you want to be professional, you can run you app with strace [14:03] config files of openssh server?

[14:09] why would it refuse on a port that isnt forwarded and time out on a forwarded port? [14:09] or ubuntu is using iptables and blocki connections [14:09] ruan: make sure your sshd is listening on the port you want with a 'netstat -antl' [14:09] ruan: execute that cmd on the server [14:09] it is listening [14:09] nice command v_v === mike_ is now known as Guest35949 [14:10] ruan: and try ssh to localhost:that-port on the server [14:10] aeiofuuuuuu: thanks [14:10] ok [14:10] ruan: install nmap and do nmap localhost -p PORT [14:10] :C [14:10] it works [14:10] i mean [14:10] localhost [14:10] localhost connects fine [14:11] refuses on any other ports as well [14:11] ruan: what's the problem now ? [14:11] it still times out on the client [14:11] MarconM, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [14:11] ruan: where is the client [14:11] no one wants to help me get sound? :( i neeeeed musicccc [14:11] v_v: right next to the server, on the same network [14:11] v_v: btw i prefer netstat -plantu [14:11] :) [14:11] ruan: same LAN ?

[14:13] my client is on the router, sharing connection [14:13] im using openssh on windows [14:13] hm [14:13] client is attempting to connect to server [14:14] through internet. [14:14] ruan: external IP is correct? [14:14] please any simple way to make a usb bootable? and no, im not trying to install any live partition, just make a drive bootable. thanks [14:14] ruan: whats' the ip of your server and your window, it's ok, they are LAN ip, don't worry about the secure [14:14] they're not LAN ips [14:14] internet ips === RobotCow is now known as MuayThai [14:14] obiwan__: live usb or persistent?

[14:14] v_v: they share the connection [14:14] thats as far as lan goes [14:14] obiwan__: system > admin > startup disk creator [14:14] i set up equalizer for alsa .. so mplayer sounds good but not rhythmbox [14:15] im in need of an internet ssh though [14:15] that asks me an iso [14:15] bdfhjk [14:15] i dont want any iso [14:15] obiwan__: unetbotin [14:15] i just want to install the code in the disk to make it bootable [14:15] hm [14:15] i dont think its windows firewall, because it can attempt on other ports [14:15] on the forwarded one it times out [14:16] just like the hp drive key boot utility does with any thumb drive . but its for win, im looking for somethjing simmilar in ubuntu [14:16] ruan: that seems complicated now, we don't know how your server get connected on the internet, maybe there is firewalls between your client and the server [14:17] join #python [14:17] !syslinux | obiwan__: [14:17] ruan: afaik, the windows firewall won't block a connection which is going out [14:17] my ufw is disabled [14:17] Hi! Anyone who can help me with an Ubuntu issue here? Trying to access my WD Sharespace so that it can be recognized by xbmc? [14:17] besides, it refuses on all ports other than the forwarded one, which times out [14:17] obiwan__: syslinux is nice [14:17] juk: i tried syslinux but didnt work [14:17] after rebooting it states ' no os found' [14:17] ruan: sure it's not a DNS problem ? :p [14:18] or r u using the IP [14:18] obiwan__: you said you whant to just boot [14:18] what? [14:18] aeiofuuuuuu: jsut the IP [14:19] my ISP does the DNS work [14:19] im trying to run a program for my disk. and i need to boot from a usb to use it [14:19] obiwan__: usually, a program is ruuning on a OS. which OS do you need, linux or windows ? [14:20] i know for sure that it's my IP because its my forwarded port that does something unique [14:20] obiwan__: do you want to flash your bios? [14:20] thats the problem v_v im not suppoed to run any os [14:20] when I install 11.04 alpha 3 now - can I just update to the release later? [14:20] ruan: can your client visit any port of your server ? [14:20] that program should be copied to the drive and then make it bootable [14:20] but its an exe [14:21] ruan: http://canyouseeme.org/ [14:21] :D [14:21] Christoph_vW: yes, for natty support #ubuntu+1 [14:21] ruan: if you just changed port in sshd_config it should work.. [14:21] obiwan__: if that exe file is an win32 PE, you need "Windows", or "DOS" [14:21] bbl [14:23] oh that must be v_v , i need dos [14:23] thanks a lot [14:23] Need some help ppl! :) [14:23] im restarting now to install dos see ya [14:24] obiwan__: np, it's easy to get dos installed and be bootable on an usb stick === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil === darkdevil is now known as Guest91163 === Guest91163 is now known as Guest48150 [14:25] it says connection refused on canyouseeme.com [14:26] .org === hugo_ is now known as Neddio [14:26] in fact, it refuses on all ports. [14:27] therefore the site is incorrect [14:27] because i port forwarded 411 [14:27] and connecting to 411 times out [14:28] ruan, I am not getting timed out here with that link :( [14:29] i dont get timed out either [14:29] i get connection refused on _all_ ports [14:29] ruan, however it does say that canyouseeme.com is for sale [14:29] ruan, oh!! [14:29] its canyouseeme.org [14:29] Need some help connecting to my WD sharespace in Ubuntu, anyone? [14:29] ruan, right it says its for sale [14:29] hey I've got a question, I'm running a web server off my ubuntu box, now i know this isn't technically an ubuntu question as it is an apache question, but sometimes when i view a particular page several times, it ll view, view, then Error 503 Forbidden [14:29] can anyone explain that? [14:30] http://canyouseeme.org/ not for sale [14:30] ruan, now it does not say that? I am confused :) [14:30] lol [14:30] Taev: interesting, check your apache logs [14:30] anyway, i've port forwarded 411 for UDP and TCP [14:30] and it times out [14:31] access or error log? [14:31] Taev: error [14:31] i can ping the address [14:31] ruan, I can tell you I am the last person to deal with network stuff,, however if no one here can help try the ##Linux channel,,,make sure you name is registered first [14:31] ok [14:31] [Mon Mar 21 10:28:23 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/mediawiki/index.php, referer: http://smokey.homelinux.net:8080/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page [14:31] got a lot of that [14:32] Taev, mm whoa [14:32] i can look at a page 20 times, then all of a sudden it says 503 forbidden, then it works [14:32] Taev, I am going to suggest the ##linux channel as well if no one here asweres the issue [14:32] hmm i'll try my local address === KolakCC is now known as KolakCC|bbl [14:33] see I just brought up the page in 3 different browsers and it worked fine each time [14:33] wait...

In component restricted, is optional. Version 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 25690 kB, installed size 76364 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [14:36] i have the FX [14:37] ruan: ;) [14:38] had to use ssh to do file operations while someone else is using the computer [14:39] hey guys i got a running 10.04 system that acts strangely when unplugging + replugging devices (they wont work / be recognized any more)... is there anybody who can look at that issue (maybe some udev-experts) ? :) [14:40] ?? [14:41] lil_pete: pastebin dmesg [14:41] 好 [14:41] Hi everyone, are there known issues with the top status bar of 10.10? Like icons overlapping and stuff? [14:41] juk: one moment, please... gotta get the file from the (tablet) computer first... [14:41] why is this pastebin and why it is used [14:42] lil_pete: take your time... [14:42] what is there ti paste [14:42] is something like git,svn etc [14:42] !pastebin | copa [14:42] copa: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:42] it is cool [14:43] and handy if you try to paste several dozens of lines in irc ;) [14:43] hello [14:43] ? [14:44] anyone else experience icons overlapping in the top right status bar for no reason? [14:44] hi all [14:45] all is needed is to sign up pop and thats it right [14:45] hi guys. what's the simplest way to set up a flash/flex IDE? [14:46] use eclipse pliugin [14:46] for flex [14:46] it will be the easiest i guess [14:46] i wish itunes supported ubuntu >.< [14:47] coz_, ahh, i also see other packages with nvidia-123, i should of just search nvidia in the first place [14:47] my KDE screensaver wont start :( [14:47] johnernaut: you should try amarok or the gnome copy :) [14:47] !wishlist [14:47] I know, they work fine. I just prefer itunes :/ [14:47] copa, it's really that simple? damn. i must've misread something and needlessly gave myself a headache [14:48] stevecam, mm did you see the nvidia-current driver t here? [14:48] coz_, yes, but i am installing nvidia-173, i have a geforce FX 5200 [14:49] Were do I get the drivers for my ALC880(atm I have no sound at all), I find the wiki quite confusing, do I need to download ALSA or a seperate driver from Realtek? [14:49] dynamicist i have fried my brains with git so pastebin is easy even i am trying it for the first tiem [14:49] *time [14:49] stephaaan, ah ok,,, that driver should be fine.. i dont recall any real major issues with it [14:49] johnernaut: it took me quite some time to feel comfortable with itunes after using amarok for a long time, altho iTunes grows a bit on you [14:50] juk: dmesg is flooded with useless messages from crappy ethernet-drivers... gotta reboot to get a "clean" dmesg... im on it. :) [14:50] i am now going to reboot [14:50] lil_pete: ugh [14:50] monotux: yeah it does [14:51] Hey guys, what do you think is the most light-weight yet well-documented distro of linux? I like Ubuntu but it seems a bit bloated and 'windows-ish.' [14:51] esp since they made those vertical scroll-lists default, I think they're awesome [14:51] I've heard good things about opensuse [14:51] gah, don't talk about itunes and then about 'bloated' distros :p [14:51] hi, I installed mailutils, and tried sending an email to my gmail account, and got an error that sending to remote domains isn't allowed. how can I send to remote domains from the terminal? [14:51] LOL, yeah i know right [14:51] I use Arch Linux, it has some good forums and a great wiki [14:52] basically I only want to use linux for development, everything else I'm not worried about [14:52] it's a bit more old school (which isn't always a good thing) than debian and it's siblings [14:52] I see [14:52] !minimal | johnernaut use this to install just what you need [14:52] johnernaut use this to install just what you need: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:52] anyone? [14:52] 0.o cool beans [14:53] I run it on my netbook and I'm really happy with it, ubuntu was a bit buggy with my wireless setup [14:53] my KDE screensaver wont start despite the fact that I have ticked the AUTOMATICALLY start button [14:53] ubuntu has been a bit buggy on my regular laptop as well... [14:53] not sure why [14:53] some of the icons in the top right status bar merge together sometimes [14:54] that isn't ubuntu bugging, it's probably GNOME [14:54] and most distros out there ship with GNOME === mkaay_ is now known as mkaay [14:54] is there a gnome free version? [14:54] well, i guess not [14:54] of what? [14:54] !kubuntu [14:54] kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [14:54] juk: sent you private message [14:54] not kubuntu lol [14:55] kubuntu, xubuntu and I guess there's a version for fluxbox too [14:55] trying to use pulseaudio with cinelerra on ubuntu 10.04 (using esound driver and port 7007) crashes the program, is there any fix for this? [14:55] maybe I'm looking for something that's too old-school [14:55] probably the wrong path [14:55] I do like ubuntu so far though [14:55] johnernaut: probably you just don't know what you want [14:56] ^ yes [14:56] How do i add a directory to the system path?? (for every user) is it /etc/profile? [14:56] Probably a fair statement considering I have macs, pc's, and now ubuntu. Yet I'm not satisfied completely [14:56] I have to use all 3 to get what I want [14:56] Can I get emacs to work in console by default, instead of adding the -nw parameters every time ? [14:56] DrPoO: edit /etc/bash.bashrc, add a line PATH= something (google) and another line export PATH [14:57] Hi ! [14:57] shesek, you might want to ask in #emacs [14:57] hi all [14:57] lil_pete: He's talking about a directory... [14:57] lil_pete, thnx... Once modified do i need to restart to activate it? [14:58] johnernaut: What exactly are you wanting to do? [14:58] yeah, he needs to run binaries in a dir doesnt he? [14:58] shesek: why would you want to run emacs in the console? :/ [14:58] well, i use the mac primarily for design and multimedia. I use windows for .net development, and I'm looking at ubuntu primarily for cross-platform development [14:58] DrPoO: you need to re-start the bash, not the whole system [14:58] I dono.... maybe I'm not understanding properly. [14:59] although cross-platform development is new to me [14:59] it's also hard to beat visual studio's debugging capabilities [14:59] although it's not the best IDE as a whole [14:59] johnernaut, well it should be easily done with ubuntu... although I would not use mac for multimedia,,, my opinion,, but a bit outdated [14:59] DrPoO: PATH=$PATH:/my/custom/dir [15:00] DrPoO: export PATH [15:00] I looking for someone who have some knowledge on scripting and rc process [15:00] DrPoO: that should do. :) [15:00] lil_pete, thnx [15:00] I know there are tools like GIMP, etc for ubuntu. I think I'm just too lazy to give up photoshop... [15:00] tobier, you may get additional input on those in the ##linux channel as well [15:00] johnernaut, that I understand :) [15:00] :P [15:01] johnernaut: don't let anyone fool you into thinking that GIMP is anything near as good as photoshop. that's a outright lie. [15:01] hah yeah that's what I hear [15:01] johnernaut, however,,, as much as I love photoshop,,, I have found gimp to be just as reliable but then I have moved over to maily svg format [15:01] so... anybody who can debug udev / usb-hotplugging? [15:01] coz_: ever tried to open a 16 bit image in gimp? ;) [15:01] I'm hoping svg's will be the new png for the web [15:01] monotux, no not yet :) [15:02] monotux, going to test now [15:02] *COMPUTER EXPLOADZ* [15:02] monotux, I'm used to it... I don [15:02] monotux, I'm used to it... I don't really like the graphical version [15:02] ever tried to make non-destructive editing with like curves/levels? [15:02] coz_, will do, thanks [15:02] What happens with curves/levels? [15:03] shesek: don't fall into the "oh my terminal is soooo haxxy and cool", you miss out on a lot if you ditch the GUI emacs (: [15:03] johnernaut: do you use adjustment layers in photoshop? [15:03] yes [15:03] are they similar in gimp? [15:03] no [15:04] bummer [15:04] last time I checked they weren't even there [15:04] can i send issue the telnet command with username and password specified? [15:04] 0.o [15:04] ...in gimp [15:04] bigger bummer [15:04] johnernaut, there are plans for adjustment layers [15:05] even then, i'm sure it won't be close to the functionality of photoshops [15:05] there were plans for duke nukem forever too :) === koolhead11 is now known as koolhead11| === koolhead11| is now known as koolhead11|afk [15:05] Dannyd: username yes, password no. you don't really want to use telnet, do you? It's not 1989... [15:05] johnernaut, photoshop is the premiere photo editing application ... it can beinstalled via wine on ubuntu not sure about cs5 though [15:06] Yeah, I think only cs3 is supported via wine right now, I may be wrong [15:06] In my /etc/network/interfaces file I've defined several static IP configs for my interfaces. The one for eth1 contains this line "post-up ip addr add 10.10.20.5/24 dev eth1" but afterward if I "ip -4 addr list dev eth1" the address is not listed (only the first address, specified using "address" is). If I run the command manually, it works. Any ideas? [15:06] monotux, it seems like it has about the same functionality, doesn't it? [15:06] but i can only login into the ethernetswitch using telnet [15:06] coz_: yes, but using it in wine introduces a constant risk of having photoshop crash before you save your changes :) [15:06] Dannyd: fair enough :-) [15:06] monotux, agreed [15:07] Dannyd: most of them have web access now; this an older model? [15:07] not only that but doesn't wine with most programs use up a huge amount of resources? [15:07] thanks, copa [15:07] Morning [15:07] shesek: try to use more than 8 colors (that can be fixed), try to resize your buffers, try to quickly view a pdf or a image in the console :) [15:07] like running a vm almost? [15:07] im trying to script it using expect..but the interface is really tough to write something for? [15:07] LordXe-gnu: What exactly are you trying to do? [15:07] te, configure a 2nd IP address on eth1 [15:07] How do i pass using expect? [15:07] constand pressure on Adobe may bet it ported which shouldnt be hard since it is already on mac [15:08] agreed [15:08] shesek: those are things I use quite frequently (: [15:08] I'm sure they will, especially as ubuntu grows [15:08] LordXe-gnu: Using an alias ? [15:08] I've heard that talk since I began with linux, in 2003 [15:08] te, an alias? [15:09] LordXe-gnu: Yea, and alias. That sounds like what you really want. i.e. eth1.0 [15:09] I think it's highly unlikely that the CS-suite will ever be introduced in linux (: [15:09] That's unfortunate [15:09] !ot [15:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:09] :X [15:09] te, i.e. create a vlan interface with vlan id 0? [15:10] until linux has a userbase larger then 1% (or whatever it is now) of the market, it will never be ported [15:10] hi there. i'm getting crazy with this one. my laptop is in a specific state, harddisk-wise. no matter what i do, after a reboot its back to exactly this state. i install software using aptitude or synaptic, after reboot its gone. i touch/echo-into a file, validate it, sync it, reboot -> gone. i booted from cd, mounted the encrypted / and removed the "discard" option in fstab (ssd- specific, i suspected it to be responsible), synced, reboot - i [15:10] ts all back to old version. system works perfectly stable besides this, discs are all mounted rw [15:10] i think the mac will slowly start to become the new windows [15:10] LordXe-gnu: What exactly are you trying to do? [15:11] te, just configure a secondary IP address on the interfaces, so that I can bind to whichever I need [15:11] te, the config works, just can't figure out why I can't make it get configured inside of /etc/network/interfaces === zero is now known as Guest93995 [15:12] Hey I'm trying to persuade my old P3 computer to boot from USB -- is ARMD-FDD the appropriate option to boot first? [15:12] LordXe-gnu: It would be something like this: sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.20.1 up [15:12] how do i prevent a program from starting at boot? [15:12] te, .. I want to add it to the config *file*. I can configure it on the command line just fine [15:12] DrPoO, open system>preferences>startup programs and change the settings there :) [15:12] LordXe-gnu, add it to /etc/network/interfaces ? [15:13] semitones, how can I do that but from the command line? [15:13] Does anyone here do any C/C++ development in Ubuntu? [15:13] LordXe-gnu: Maybe if you show us your config file. i.e. pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces [15:13] DrPoO, I don't know that, :/ sorry! someone else here might [15:13] s3r3n1t7, I did, "post-up ip addr add 10.10.20.5/24 dev eth1" <-- that command works fine if I enter it manually, howveer for some reason doesn't work here [15:13] johnernaut: I recommend that you ask your question instead :) [15:13] johnernaut, why not ask the real question and find out? [15:14] LordXe-gnu, checked logs to see what error it gives? [15:14] Ok, what IDE would you recommend (aside from codeblocks)? [15:14] s3r3n1t7, no.. that's a good point. Need to figure out hiwhc log [15:14] Let it be known that I'm coming from VS... [15:14] te, h/o installing pastebinit [15:14] !poll | johnernaut [15:14] johnernaut: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:15] !ide | johnernaut [15:15] johnernaut: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [15:15] :o damn bot [15:15] mind the language [15:15] Oh.. [15:15] sorry [15:15] te, http://slexy.org/view/s2BBhzMPvb [15:15] s3r3n1t7: enough with the sanctimony. [15:16] out of the ones named, eclipse, qt-creator and kdevelop would be suitable for C/C++, plus the text editors (emacs, vim, ...) [15:16] hm, broadcast addr is very wrong.. need to fix that [15:16] sipior, I'm not following? [15:16] well, specifically related to VS, I was just wondering which has the best (in your opinion) debugging capablities [15:16] how can i make my computer boot from USB? I'm in my bios now but which option? [15:16] s3r3n1t7: no doubt. [15:16] obviously vim and emacs wouldn't fall under that category ( I don't think ) [15:17] johnernaut: eclipse, kdevelop and qt-creator have debug-possibilities, but it is up to you to decide which one is best [15:17] te, s3r3n1t7 it was my goofed up config before that line... duh. Should have caught that. Thanks guys [15:17] johnernaut: http://xkcd.com/378/ [15:17] LordXe-gnu, np [15:17] mtlife: lol @ vim vs. emacs [15:18] ^^ [15:18] buen dia, a ver si me pueden ayudar, borre el Gestor de Red sin querer se puede volver a cargar? [15:18] !es | SirDystic [15:18] SirDystic: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [15:18] And yes, I've actually been told 'real programmers use vim' [15:18] *slap* [15:18] haha [15:18] really, who uses vim anymore [15:19] sorry [15:19] mostly web developers [15:19] SirDystic: no problem [15:19] im a web developer and use eclipse [15:19] 0.o [15:19] mtlife, johnernaut would you mind to take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? [15:19] that's why usually you don't discuss which application is "the best", since it leads to discussions or even flamewars. Please use the offtopic channel [15:19] :D [15:20] is it possible to make a cd that boots the computer from USB? [15:20] can you do updates with dpkg using the package file? the .deb file that is [15:21] LordXe-gnu: Looks liked the gateway address is wrong too. (Not within the subset) [15:21] semitones: search google for plop boot [15:21] Squarism: you can use dpkg -i to install .deb files, but it is not recommended and it won't take care of any dependencies [15:21] te, yep. copy+paste fail :< haha [15:21] mtlife, ty === KolakCC|bbl is now known as KolakCC [15:22] Fuchs, if i have one version installed.. will it "overwrite" that? [15:22] Squarism: if the version is newer: yes, it will. Chances are as well that it doesn't detect that it is an already existing application and only overwrites the files, [15:22] mtlife, hmm have you heard of "Ultimate boot cd"? [15:22] depending on how the package has been built [15:23] ok serious question: I installed firefox 4 (release candidate), but it didn't overwrite firefox 3. Any way to fix this? [15:23] hi all , i'm havin a DVB-s card compro s500 i'm finding trobul to make it work under ubuntu any help please [15:23] semitones: heard of it, never used it, why? [15:23] mtlife, it came up on the search [15:23] :) [15:23] ArmChairWarrior: I am back and have backed up the data. there is nothing wrong with the server drives and mdadm utility reports that the raid1 is all ok. i need the server to boot by itself and not via a live cd. how do i do that? can you or anyone else help me to accomplish that [15:23] and it looks like it uses plop [15:23] anyone heared of persistency problems running from an ssd (harddisk) in ubuntu? i am like in kiosk/sandbox mode :/ === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [15:23] semitones: i use plop boot manager [15:23] johnernaut: use a better package [15:23] johnernaut: or build your own [15:23] johnernaut, a beta shouldn't overwrite a RC. You can remove firefox 3 and symlink firefox to firefox 4? [15:24] LordXe-gnu: "post-up ip addr add 10.10.20.5/24 dev eth1" confuses me. What is that supposed to do? [15:24] Ah ok [15:25] te, it just adds another IP to the interface. Basically what's happening here is that this box holds multiple IPs on the subnet, which are used for different (sets) of services. I can determine which address is used for outbound connections using bind() [15:25] te, it's a rather eccentric and unusual setup I'm aware ;) It's a testbed for some networking software [15:26] LordXe-gnu: I've just never seen something like that b4 [15:26] hi all, can anyone help me to get the required files to the boot part so that ubuntu server can boot on its own and not via a llive cd? [15:26] ruan: have you solved your problem ? [15:27] semitones: and for system rescue operations (win or linux) i use systemrescuecd. (only used ultimate boot cd 4 windows once, to replace a motherboard and fix a blue screen error) [15:27] pikkie: You mean that grub needs to be re-configured / installed [15:27] te: i think so? [15:27] te, you will probably see it a lot more used with ipv6 (assuming ISPs actually give us decent blocks of IPs.. I think they're *supposed* to give out /48 and /64's). You could do something like have an address for your outbound connections and run services like sshd on a different IP so that just connecting to someone doesn't give out enough info about you to expose your services [15:27] can you help me with that please [15:28] Yea [15:28] pikkie: You need to boot the cd [15:29] pikkie: And then mount the file system. Have you booted the CD yet? [15:29] te: yes i did that and selected from the menu boot from the first hard disk. this is for ubuntu server [15:30] pikkie: What do you mean, "selected from the menu boot from the first hard disk"? [15:30] te: how do i mount the filesystem? the server is running already. [15:30] pikkie: Well, maybe it already is mounted.... [15:30] te: it think so [15:31] pikkie: Need to find out where you are at on this. [15:31] te: what do you need to know === Chousuke_ is now known as Chousuke [15:32] pikkie: see my pm [15:32] te: the server is running but only when booted with a cd, i need it to run without the cd [15:32] te: what does pm mean? [15:33] .join #codeigniter [15:33] any ideas ,how to make a dvb-s compro 500s to work under ubuntu .or, if ,some1 could tell me where can i get help [15:33] pardon me :) [15:33] pikkie: Never mind.... [15:33] :-) [15:33] pikkie: What does fdisk -l say? [15:33] -__- [15:33] pikkie: (pastebinit) [15:34] te: just a moment please, checking [15:34] pikkie: I was wanting to take to private channel. PM = Private Message [15:34] te: okay, yes please. [15:35] i got 185 task running aren't that alot , because i dont know how much is normal for ubuntu [15:35] pikkie: are you on irssi? [15:35] pikkie: It will be next channel to the right. [15:36] how many tasks is normal to run on ubuntu ? [15:36] GOMI: that depends [15:36] GOMI: Define normal. [15:36] GOMI: that's a hard question to answer. I've seen as few as 7 or 8 and as many as 100,000 [15:36] If I want to delete all .svn in a folder-structure how do I do? I tried ls -la | grep svn | rm -frv but didn't work [15:36] okey [15:36] I want to delete all .svn-directories in a folder heirachy === mnepton is now known as mneptok [15:37] find . -name .svn | xargs -t rm -r [15:37] pikkie: /join #pikkie [15:37] cfedde, Thanks a lot [15:37] pikkie: /join pikkie [15:37] 1598 person and no 1 can help :-/ never mind [15:38] amin2511: what's up [15:40] te: i see you but you don't answer [15:40] te: i am still here [15:41] #debian-pt [15:41] preciso de ajuda. [15:41] need the last bit of help getting my broadcom to work. I have Peppermint, Ubuntu 10.10 and Vista installed. Peppermint live stick sees the broadcom wireless card, and It works. Wubi install of Ubuntu 10.04 could also see the broadcom. but.. installed Peppermint and installed Ubuntu 10.10 can not see that broadcom hardware. what can I do ? === paw is now known as landingonwater [15:42] broadcom trouble [15:42] never ending It seems. [15:43] I was thinking its related to some IRQ hickup ? But how do I fix It ? [15:43] mh [15:45] please help me [15:45] pretty please [15:45] my cd driver can't read any CD/DVD [15:45] with sugar on top [15:45] : ) [15:45] what to do ? [15:45] could it be broken? [15:45] no, it works nice when I boot to windows [15:46] doesn't read any video whenever I insert into it :( [15:46] how to reinstall "apt-get autoremove" packages? (I've deleted half the system) [15:46] bahaa: packages which are deleted from "apt-get autoremove" are not important, its ok to delete them [15:46] bahaa: lol. what's up [15:47] anyone ever experienced hardware working on live USB or Wubi, but NOT on HD install ??? [15:47] df -h [15:47] landingonwater: check to see which kernel modules are loaded when booting from your usb stick. compare that with the normal install. [15:47] landingonwater, what hardware? [15:47] iceroot, v_v: it seems the system has missmarked important packages as inimportant and made me delete them [15:48] bahaa: no [15:48] is it safe to remove samba4 if i dont use it [15:48] bahaa: then you have used another command. apt-get autoremove is harmless [15:48] shaneo, yes [15:48] ok thanks [15:48] bahaa: i understand, sometimes it's because of the deps of the packages. usually you needn't worry about them [15:48] it must be corrupted or something its been giving me a hella time [15:49] iceroot, I've reviewed the history it's autoremove [15:49] I want to set up a second session as the same user on my computer that I can then access via VNC. The problem is that I need it to run at a lower resolution and with some panel options changed so I can use it via a mobile device (VNC), while retaining my normal options in the main session and the configuration files. Is this possible? [15:49] BluesKaj: ITs a broadcom wireless card. I thought I had a software problem, but... wubi install of Ubuntu 10.04 and Peppermint life USB could see the wireless internal card. HD install of Ubuntu 10.10 and Peppermint see nothing [15:49] shaneo, just regular samba should work [15:49] v_v, iceroot : I always use it but this time it's different [15:49] bahaa: trust me, autoremove is just removing packages, which came because of other packages, which are removed [15:49] v_v, iceroot : it has deleted totem, empathy, and many other programs :( [15:49] ok [15:50] bahaa: then you deleted a package before which was pulling them [15:50] BluesKaj: the Peppermint im running right now is a fresh install from USB. no updates. USB stick has wifi, HD install doesnt [15:50] bahaa: why not just get back whatever you what [15:50] te: how is it going with the pikkie ? [15:50] lil_pete: can hotplug without using hub? [15:50] landingonwater, you mean network manager , right . Is there an icon in the panel ? [15:51] What distro should i take ubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu for my pc CPU AMD Sempron 3000+ / Graphic NX6600 LE, 1GB of Ram [15:51] v_v: you've got a point of view but the problem I don't know the libs it deleted, dvds don't work any more :) [15:51] are there any deps for samba4 [15:52] bahaa: apt-get install totem ? [15:52] BluesKaj: It doesnt see the broadcom wireless card at all. so no software can help. [15:52] dbm, any ubuntu version should work fine with those specs [15:52] v_v, iceroot: should'nt be there a place where it logs what has been deleted? [15:52] landingonwater, have you tried wicd ? [15:52] bahaa: /var/log/dpkg.log i guess [15:52] !wicd [15:53] !info wicd [15:53] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-5 (maverick), package size 40 kB, installed size 88 kB [15:53] BluesKaj: wicd ?? [15:53] v_v, Segmentation fault :D [15:53] sorry for the happy faces [15:53] BluesKaj: software is not the problem [15:53] landingonwater, it's an alternative to the default NM for ubuntu [15:54] shaneo: try "apt-cache rdepends samba4" [15:54] bahaa: ;-> [15:55] landingonwater: establish which driver the usb live install is using to see the card. [15:55] hi, i want to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 LTS but i can't find the docs, the docs i found are only for 8.04 or 9.10 [15:55] v_v, iceroot : I've got a huge log would it be beneficial to post it? [15:55] negev, you should upgrade to 9.10 first [15:55] negev: You can't upgrade directly from 9.04 to 10.04, you'll need to upgrade to 9.10 and then to 10.04. [15:56] landingonwater, well a missing driver is definitely a software problem and how can you be so sure ? [15:56] negev, it's sequential I believe [15:56] Hi all. [15:56] sipior: the Live Peppermint recognizes the broadcomcard, and offers the driver in Additional driver. same result if I use ndiswrapper. so the driver is not the issue. [15:56] * BluesKaj takles a break .....bbl [15:56] Lars_G: lars from ITG? [15:57] v_v, iceroot : gedit is deleted, too [15:57] Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should [15:57] jonta: Nope another Lars [15:57] kk [15:57] v_v, iceroot: I said half of the system [15:57] :D [15:57] landingonwater: so that driver has been loaded on your ubuntu installation? [15:57] bahaa: maybe you removed "ubuntu-desktop"? [15:57] how come ubuntu wont detect my second monitor (it's hooked up thru a hdmi) [15:57] bahaa: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop [15:57] BluesKaj: im sure because both HD installs cant see the broadcom card at all. ealier wubi install of Ubuntu did, and Peppermint live USB does as well. [15:58] whats the command to purge samba [15:58] shaneo: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba (if you mean complett deinstall) [15:58] yes [15:58] shaneo: It depends how you installed it. [15:58] sipior: the Peppermint live USB can see the broadcom hardware, so It automatically offers the broadcom driver under Additional Drivers. [15:59] I want to set up a second session as the same user on my computer that I can then access via VNC. The problem is that I need it to run at a lower resolution and with some panel options changed so I can use it via a mobile device (VNC), while retaining my normal options in the main session and the configuration files. Is this possible? [15:59] landingonwater: that's not what i'm asking. does the ubuntu install, that does *not* see the card, load the same driver? if not, what happens when you attempt to load it? [15:59] bahaa: grep -n 'autoremove' /var/log/apt/history.log [15:59] bahaa: and you can see when and where you autoremoved [15:59] Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should, but I'm having troubles starting it. [16:00] landingonwater: you can display loaded kernel modules with "lsmod" [16:00] Lars_G: there should be a xen-kernel [16:00] sipior: the installed Ubuntu, both 10.10 and the Peppermint, does nothing when I install the driver. They simply cant see the hardware at all. [16:01] landingonwater: is. the. module. loaded? [16:01] QUESTION: I have two gprs modems connected to internet, i want to use one of them in firefox and other one in opera , is it possible? [16:01] are the LTS releases more stable/better tested for day-to-day use than non-LTS? Or is the extended support time the major difference? [16:02] An_Ony_Moose: that's possible, i think [16:02] sipior: lsmod shows no broadcom [16:02] te: you ther [16:02] Hello [16:02] thauriswulfa: Well, I suppose you could run a proxy server on one [16:02] pikkie: Yea [16:02] iceroot: there hasn't been a -xen one in a while... there's an ec2 though [16:02] v_v, iceroot: the computer freezed [16:02] sipior: that is the whole mystery. wubi for some reason was able to see the card :D and the peppermint live usb [16:02] landingonwater: see if you can load the same module which appears in the live usb setup. [16:02] bahaa: why [16:02] te: did you get the message [16:03] 1lly [16:03] sipior: how do i load a module ? [16:03] landingonwater: run "lsmod" on that machine as well, and compare the list. [16:03] sachael: Most desktop users won't notice a difference. If this is for your personal computer, just use the latest stable version. [16:03] landingonwater: sudo modprobe [16:03] sipior: okay.. hmm. what the ??? [16:03] v_v: I feel it's because half of the system isn't there [16:03] anyone have any idea why ubuntu wont detect me duel monitor setup? [16:03] landingonwater: the name of the module :-) [16:04] im working off a laptop, and the second monitor is plugged into the hdmi port [16:04] v_v, iceroot : can't I undo autoremove? [16:04] it works with windows but for some reason ubunut wont detec tit [16:04] bahaa: no [16:04] bahaa: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop [16:04] landingonwater: if you want to refer to it by filename, try "sudo insmod foo.ko" [16:04] sipior: okay.. will boot the USB. be right back [16:04] v_v, iceroot: I suspect the problem is I installed netbeans [16:04] bahaa: reinstall ubuntu-desktop should be ok [16:04] Hey guys i have a general question about ubuntu do you think it drains battery so fast ? [16:05] landingonwater: check out the man page on modprobe. to check for a mod - sudo lsmod |grep something ; to load a mod - sudo modprobe -v whatever ; to remove a mod - sudo modprobe -vr whatever [16:06] v_v, iceroot : and after installation it said installation didn't go fine, so I tried "apt-get install netbeans" and it said netbeans is the newest version but suggested to autoremove about 270 MB [16:06] bahaa: i told you three times to use "dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop" and to post the output [16:06] iceroot, No packages found matching ubuntu-desktop. [16:06] hi, im having some trouble to get grub2 woring properly after installing ubuntu 10.10. during installation i dig det an error message regaring booloader why i chose to proceed without a bootloader to install that manually. i have now goten so far that when boot without live cd i get to grub but it seems like its not fins the kernel to boot. i only have ubuntu 10.10 instlled in this machine so there is no other OS to boot or to have in mi [16:07] Salih87: you might consider running "powertop" if you're looking to analyse where your machine is spending its energy. [16:07] bahaa: you are using ubuntu? [16:07] iceroot, xubuntu, but installed gnome [16:07] !grub > tacc [16:07] tacc, please see my private message [16:07] iceroot, using gnome on top of xubuntu [16:07] tacc: You need to reinstall the grub boot loader. Check the link from ubottu. [16:08] bahaa: without the meta-package "ubuntu-desktop" i guess [16:08] iceroot, I think so, I installed "gnome-deskotp-environment" [16:08] Thank you i should check because i pull my laptop from plug and it takes 15 minutes to zero === rene is now known as Guest91760 [16:09] iceroot, bahaa: try xubuntu-desktop === herton is now known as herton_lunch [16:10] dajhorn, I don't want xubutnu, I just use it because I couldn't install ubuntu [16:11] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: where can I show you the packages I removed today? [16:11] Salih87: might be the battery is dying. does it behave differently under windows, for example? [16:11] Is it possible to configure linux to push Everything through a SOCKS proxy? [16:12] I'd like to set up a VM at work like this [16:12] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: 2011-03-21 11:02:09 remove gnome-desktop-environment 1:2.28+1ubuntu4 (is one of them) [16:12] doors export http_proxy ? [16:12] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: this is from dpkg.log [16:12] hi [16:13] will that work for programs that don't support a proxy well? [16:13] bahaa: Don't paste a big file here. You'll be kicked. Use !pastebin. [16:13] do i simply need "ubuntu restricted extras" to play mp3s in ubuntu? [16:13] dajhorn, that's why I'm asking, ok [16:13] itilious: Yes, from medibuntu. [16:14] sipior: yes my battery is dying also but windows 7 stands more than ubuntu. [16:14] itilious: that would be overkill... [16:14] dajhorn, is that different from the one in the "software center"? [16:15] Salih87: well, powertop will help you coax a bit more life from the dying embers :-) [16:15] itilious: ubuntu-restricted-extras is in the universe section, which is what you can see in the Software Center. Almost everybody wants the medibuntu packages too. [16:16] itilious: (Multiverse, actually.) [16:16] dajhorn, so you're saying i should install "restricted extras" AND "medibuntu"? [16:16] itilious: Yes. [16:16] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: today's log : http://pastebin.com/1p03M6ew [16:17] what advantage do i have of having medibuntu in addition to restricted extras? [16:17] dajhorn: the tutorials seems to just point out howto restore them etc. I need a clean installation manual from scratch which seems hard to find. [16:17] hello guys, I have a question, Does Linux support intel possessors as good as Nvidia + ATI ones? By saying it, I meant the feature (shadows, shaders, and so on) support. [16:18] fatal_ERROR7771: do you mean graphics cards ? [16:18] grubbb [16:18] fatal_ERROR7771: if so intel has better (open) support than nvidia / ati, although the intel cards are not often as powerful [16:18] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: what about trying to install removed packges using "grep remove" on the log file? [16:19] iceroot, dajhorn, v_v: so I get the removed packages? [16:19] Question, doesn't kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae in 10.04 LTS have XEN support (to work as a DomU)? I checked the config file and it should, but I'm having troubles starting it. [16:19] hi [16:19] I want to use 1280x960 but there's no option for this.. is using 1280x1024, a 5:3 resolution, on, an, 4:3, CRT, bad, or, not? is that a screwed` up as;pect ra'ti!o? [16:20] hello, can someone explain me what happens behind the scenes when I do "dig hostname.example.com"? My understanding was that a lookup was done against /etc/hosts, and then if not available, did a DNS lookup using /etc/resolv.conf - but that doesn't appear to be so [16:20] bahaa: Icroot gave you correct advice earlier. Install the ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop package. It will take a long time to manually restore. [16:20] mweichert: it looks at the internet first [16:20] ikonia: well, /etc/hosts will always override [16:20] dajhorn, but doesn't it take longer to download? [16:20] mweichert: not with dig [16:21] mweichert: no, have a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf. [16:21] mweichert: dig is a DNS debugging tool. It doesn't look at /etc/hosts. That is different from most other application behaviour though, when it will look at things in the order given in nsswitch.conf [16:21] dajhorn, are'nt the deleted packages already downloaded? [16:21] I'm messing around with icon sets in ubuntu and wondering what kind of links they use? I mean, they seem like absolute symlinks, but I'm able to copy a whole icon set to another location and the links still work. But they dont seem to be hard links either. Does anyone know how those links are made? [16:21] tacc: Reinstalling the boot loader is mostly the same thing as installing it fresh. You just overwrite what is already there. [16:21] well if you do dig @someserver foo, it will use /etc/hosts for @someserver, but not for foo. [16:21] sipior: hosts: files dns - wouldn't that mean, /etc/hosts, and then nslookup via /etc/resolv.conf? [16:22] Pumpkin-: it will not, [16:22] ikonia: Thank you for a reply. I'm planning to buy a new PC with a ubuntu/ windows dualboot, but I'm not sure what to choose - Nvidia, ATI, or Intel. [16:22] bahaa: If the deb files are in /var/cache/apt from an earlier install, then they are not downloaded again. These files are deleted by an `apt-get clean`. [16:22] mweichert: it queryiies dns servers only [16:22] mweichert: it will use the servers in /etc/resolv.conf unless you tell it not to [16:22] v_v, and how? ;P [16:22] mweichert: yes, but i didn't appreciate that you were talking about dig specifically. Pumpkin- is quite correct in saying that it will ignore /etc/hosts. [16:23] Anyone here aware of either an application, either available or built in, that would allow me to bind a key press to tile and untile my windows? [16:23] mweichert: /etc/hosts only overrides programs that use the nssswitch library. Programs like nslookup usually bypass /etc/hosts entirely. [16:23] Using Gnome [16:23] What's the difference if I install an application in /opt/ OR ~/Source/ ? One is part of /home other /, how will that affect? [16:23] dajhorn, ok then I'll install ubuntu-desktop [16:23] I need a bit of help on dekstop v10.10. Everything installed fine on my Dell Latitude C840 but just no graphic acceleration. I tried the recommended driver the Nvidia 96 driver which was in the drivers section of ubuntu. It said it was nvidia 96 and was tested by the comunity so I figured it was safe. Well I have a black screen now [16:23] sre-su: no difference at all [16:24] sre-su: no real difference. /opt is standard, and useful if you have other users that might want to make use of it.

The CD does not have a repair or recovery mode [16:24] yes, I'm telling it to use moofishcowhamster, which is in /etc/hosts [16:25] you are saying it won't look in /etc/hosts for that [16:25] which means moofishcowhamster. must have an A or an AAAA record :) [16:25] Pumpkin-: dig will tell you which server it got an answer from. what was the response? [16:25] Pumpkin-: it will try dns first [16:25] dajhorn: well I may be unusual confused but the thing is that i cant find the files that the tutorial refer to for example, boot/grub/grub.cfg - that file doesnt exist ?

[16:29] I've got another question: Is there any way to terminate (kill) a program (game) in a fullscreen mode? [16:30] poop: you could just modify your xorg.conf to add that mode in [16:30] ok i just deleted~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and mimeinfo.cache [16:30] OK, let's phrase it in another way: How do I make relative links that survive if the folder structure is moved to another location?

[18:17] pcperini: Possibly because you have a terminal open and cd'ed into the divice's mount poinnt. [18:17] Scunizi: try #irssi [18:17] Scunizi: im not sure if this works on all irc clients but /whois name shows channels, and only works if user is online [18:18] could someone please help me with using axel download accelerator in conjunction with transmission? when searching it I only get results for automotive repair [18:18] suprbly: that's not the answer [18:18] Scunizi: ill bet you will get the answer since that is the proper place to ask [18:18] ruan: ok.. tried that so either my client doesn't support that (quassel right now) or they are offline. Thanks.. I'll fire up irssi and give it a shot again. [18:19] Scunizi, in the server text do /whois theperson'snick [18:19] BluesKaj: got it thanks.. switching to irssi to attempt again.

[18:20] aeon-ltd, they don't work [18:20] aeon-ltd: or more seeders === viper is now known as Guest43290 [18:21] ruan: but it can't, limited by amount of seeders currently online [18:21] wat u mean [18:21] BluesKaj: thought so [18:21] Scunizi, afaik quassel supports whois === kiran is now known as namsha [18:21] aeon-ltd, i'm not sure.

What is the mechanism with which that hostname is looked up? [18:35] Hi guys (and girls) [18:35] I wanted to ask a quick question since I started using Ubuntu [18:35] abahkaiyisah: Transmit timeout, status ffffffff ffffffff , never seen such a thing [18:35] lvh: nameservers resolve domain names. see /etc/resolv.conf [18:36] Loxagos_Snake: Yes? [18:36] #list [18:36] xdcc send #99 [18:36] !ask | Loxagos_Snake [18:36] Loxagos_Snake: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:36] te: Right, I know about resolv.conf, however: how is my hostname pushed there? [18:36] Can you have get a web server on the 'simple' Ubuntu distro or do you have to get the Server edition? [18:36] Loxagos_Snake: desktop is a great web server [18:36] Loxagos_Snake: yes [18:36] ruan: wicd installs but fails to start: ImportError: libpyglib-2.0-python2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:36] te: I certainly didn't manually tell my DNS server (== router + DSL modem + 802.11n AP all-in-one deal) about my hostname. [18:37] Loxagos_Snake: its all software, the base is just different [18:37] lvh: But if it is on your LAN, you will need to make provision for name resolution on your own. Which can involve making entry in /etc/hosts file. [18:37] Loxagos_Snake: Yes you can, look into LAMP [18:37] Loxagos_Snake: server is just a bunch of extra preinstalled packages [18:37] so i added a user with the ftpasswd tool for proftpd, and still it says login incorrect. proftpd.conf is pointing at the right place for the user file, and the permissions for both ftpd.passwd and ftpd.group and appropriate [18:37] cavefish: you don't need lamp for a web server [18:37] is there any way to check the consistency of every package? I've had quite a few files just seem to 'disappear' [18:37] Loxagos_Snake: sudo apt-get install apache2 [18:37] sacarlson: ok thanks. i'm trying to modify the dhcp.conf again [18:37] those can be installed manually [18:37] and i'm still getting "incorrect login" [18:38] ikonia: I know, but it's the easiest way to start [18:38] Loxagos_Snake, or lighttpd. Lighttpd is pretty lightweight and easy to configure. [18:38] te: That's what I thought: except I didn't do that, and somehow ping bruichladdich.local and ping lagavulin.local Just Works(TM) [18:38] cavefish: it's over the top if he just wants a web server, just installing apache will do [18:38] my pc resets automaticly [18:38] how to fix it? [18:39] Thanks a lot! And something else...do you have any good sources where I can learn to use the OS effectively? I was a Windows user for years and I find it hard to get used to Linux (that's what I like :D) [18:39] Alex---: sounds like a hardware problem [18:39] lvh: Then there is nothing to do.

So how do my Ubuntu boxes advertise their hostname to a DNS server? [18:40] jsass: you need those uuid references for the machine to work [18:41] ikonia: why do you keep teling me off? [18:41] Jak3: I don't [18:41] ikonia: not if I refer to /dev/sda1 prior to UUID. I am not wondering what they are being used for. What other file out there refers to UUID during boot? [18:41] jsass: your grub config is probably the issue then [18:42] ikonia: thank you.

[18:44] but i already ask but nothing [18:44] ask again [18:44] ok [18:44] cavefish: You're explaining how DNS works. I know how DNS works. My question is how my DNS server, or my Ubuntu boxes, know that "lagavulin.local" and "bruichladdich.local" are resolvable names, and if so, how they are advertised.

[19:14] nm. grub.cfg is the file [19:14] jsass, if you can boot without both drives in, you should be ok with the Grub config you have [19:14] jsass, is this a RAID setup? [19:15] cfedde: sort of. It's a JMicron jmb383 raid controller, which needs drivers anyway.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [19:16] I'm trying use wubi and it goes through the install asks me to reboot but when I reboot and choose ubuntu it keeps saying it can't find the installation.iso I can see it in the directory with all the other wubi stuff, is it because it isn't on my c:\? or did i do something else wrong? [19:18] porin: What [19:18] porin: What error message are you getting? [19:18] DannyButterman: If you don't get an answer here, you might try #linux-raid [19:19] porin: If the wubi has been done, the ISO shouldn't matter. [19:19] porin: Infact, last time I checked there wasn't an ISO used for wubi [19:20] jpollard it says cannot find installation.iso and says i should reboot into windows run chkdsk and try again, I've done that a few times and it just keeps saying that... I ran wubi.exe from the 10.10 cd and it asked where I want it I picked my bigger drive and it did its install and said it has to reboot, when I rebooted there was a ubuntu option and i get that error after clicking it [19:21] porin: Right. Once it asks you to reboot, the WUBI should be done. I assume therefore it is probably the case of a corrupt installation. [19:21] porin: You may want to undo the WUBI, redowload WUBI and try again. [19:22] porin: By 10.10 CD do you mean one manafactured by Cananocle? [19:22] jpollard no i just downloaded the iso that it linked to from the main site [19:22] hi guys [19:23] hello there [19:23] does somebody know how to change the drivers used when switching to TTY's (Ctrl+Alt+F{2,3,4,5,6} ???? === j is now known as Guest17702 [19:24] porin: I suggest removing the WUBI, downloading it again, and trying again. === mquin_ is now known as mquin [19:25] ok ill try that [19:26] porin: Wait. Are you trying to wubi to two different drives? [19:26] porin: I'm not sure if you can do that. [19:26] anyone know of a good bluetooth headset for softphone use that works well with ubuntu? [19:26] porin: I think Ubuntu and Windows must be on the same hdd. [19:27] jpollard I was trying to install it to my D: because my C: is a small SSD meant just for windows [19:27] porin: Ah. I don't think that is a possibility. I recommend just trying a standard install. [19:28] mm ok, could I possibly install it on a external HD or flash drive? [19:28] porin: You could try using UnetBootin [19:28] porin: It lets you install it to a memory stick.

[19:33] Does anyone know if there is a log file for recently viewed files ? Googles didnt help me at all only the other way lol [19:33] OEP: it's for a demo lab, if they cannot immediately use "mount" then it's good enough for me. E.g. I'd use chmod 000 /dev/sda1, but after a while it reverts to normal permissions... [19:33] BFD: yes, but only the admin of the webserver of the files can see it [19:34] BFD: or, if you use openoffice, check the files->recently_used i think [19:35] XoD, where is that file located ? [19:35] BFD: or maybe type into terminal: find ~ -name '*.txt' -atime -2 [19:35] alkisg: you can limit what commands a sudo group can use, but as far as preventing any and all access (even physical), encryption is the best [19:35] BFD: which file? where OO stores the history? dunno [19:36] hi [19:36] XoD, i was thinking about the gnome menu -> places -> recent documents/files in general [19:36] BFD: or are you looking for something like this? ~/.recently-used.xbel [19:36] can i use dial-up on linux? [19:36] alkisg: I think the best thing to do would be to create a less privileged sudo group, and chmod the mount point of /dev/sda1 to be only accessible by root [19:37] !test [19:37] You're testing my patience! [19:37] OEP: unfortunately chmod in /dev/sda1 is reverted after a while, I don't know by what, maybe udev or udisks? [19:37] alkisg: well you're chmodding the device /dev/sda1. say /dev/sda1 were mounted to /mnt/foo, you'd need to chmod 000 /mnt/foo [19:37] drc, i tried that in terminal but access denied [19:37] is it possible to make the windows automatically resize when you drag a border to the top or bottom of the screen? (like in win7, when you drag one side of the window to the top or bottom -- or also either side of the screen -- it has a specific action, such as making the window border top/bottom or automatically fit to 50% of the screen size) [19:38] test [19:38] alkisg: what about encrypting it? [19:38] OEP: but excluding sudoers from some commands is a good idea, if I can exclude mount, udisks, fdisk and gparted, that should be enough for the 30 minutes I'll give them. Can I do that from sudoers? [19:38] *using ubuntu 10.10 [19:38] hey [19:38] can anybody give instructions regarding [19:39] alkisg: "man sudoers" to see how, but I'd whitelist the particular commands that they need rather than blacklist [19:39] dmatt: I want to make a demo lab for 30 minutes, and I'll be using 5 external disks == roaming ubuntu servers, I'd like something fast that wouldn't require encrypting all sdXX from those 5 disks [19:39] *programming applications in gnome in gtk [19:39] Does places -> recent documents/files have a log at all ? or is there any other way to find out what files that been recently viewed ?

I can start then from terminal using "gnome-panel &" but they are removed when i exit the terminal started from docky . Maybe caused by using command " sudo restart gdm" in previous seesoin.

[21:19] overclucker, any ideas since you helped me before [21:19] I like all kind of games almost, but not much for computers... [21:19] tbruff13: I seem to remember Unetbootin having an option about persistence - if you use that, it'll create a file that changes (including to your home folder) get saved to. Works wonderfully.

[21:20] Darael, where is the option [21:20] Engammalsko: Well, for example, then: I play quite a lot of Crawl, nethack and Battle for Wesnoth. Others like OpenArena or Tremulous, but I'm not much one for FPS. [21:20] osxfr33k: why dont u install the nvidia drivers? [21:20] tbruff13: It's been a while since I used it, hang on a sec, I'll check. [21:20] _skpl, + what i wrote before, at least that was the easy way for me [21:20] Ok, thanks. I will check it out : ) [21:21] <_skpl> ni1s: just through a modem [21:21] my system is unable to be a dhcp client, and was not very responsive. I have found out that prolly the old webcam(in combo with updates) was causing the problem. I disconnected my webcam, and the system is responsive again, but still no dhclient. How can i troubleshoot this [21:21] I installed the nvidia 96 driver and go a black screen but with some searching I found one thread that said to just change nvidia to nv in the xorg.conf and I got my desktop back [21:21] <_skpl> ssh sounds fine [21:21] francesc1 from nvidia? [21:21] thats supoorted? [21:21] Architx, that's bizarre. I think maybe the reason you're not getting a response is because no one knows how to help. :-( [21:22] osxfr33k, the nouveau driver will probably work better [21:22] hey guys, hopefully someone can help me out. a friends hard drive is crashed im nto sure exactly whats wrong but i pulled it out of his computer and put it onto a board from an external hard drive. Right now its hooked to my PC through USB and i want to try to recover stuff from it [21:22] I thought the problem was with xorg v1.9? [21:22] naptastic: if i set the ip manual all works ok [21:22] so the driver and network seems ok [21:22] can you give me a link to that driver? for Nvidia Geoforce4Go 64mb [21:22] !recover | GuyCanada [21:22] GuyCanada: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [21:22] Architx, at first I wonder if there's an IRQ conflict between the webcam and your ethernet device. I also wonder if DHCP is working on your network. Can you dhclient with another machine? [21:23] naptastic: yes, a win7 machine is using dhcp [21:23] Darael, you there [21:23] Architx, what kind of server is offering DHCP? [21:23] osxfr33k: use the restricted drivers option if u have it [21:23] tbruff13: Yup, hang on a sec. [21:23] so the nvidia driver 96 I installed from within ubuntu was not the nouv driver? [21:23] i reinstalled network manager, after i removed the webcam i rebooted [21:23] it a router [21:23] vigor [21:23] osxfr33k, that's correct [21:24] Architx, I would guess the router is using a non-compliant DHCP setup then, which they only tested with Windows. [21:24] k I'll try the nouv and francesc1 what is restricted driver option? For the nvidia driver from nvidia? [21:24] naptastic: than the router was compliant untill 3 days ago [21:25] Architx, you mean it stopped working? Hmm... [21:25] i have the router for more than 7 months [21:25] system > admin > additional drivers [21:25] yes [21:25] osxfr33k: system > admin > additional drivers [21:25] after I install the new driver? [21:25] it is a system thing [21:25] s [21:25] maybey the new kernel [21:25] Architx, have you rebooted the router? Have you done a settings reset? I'm wondering if maybe the lease table inside the router is full [21:26] Architx: look what is happening: open a CLI and type tailf /var/log/syslog and watch while you try to connect [21:26] Architx, have you rolled back to a previous kernel and tried again? [21:26] no i have removed the webcam and rebooted the machine [21:26] osxfr33k: i am just saying that i had a lot of problems with the nouveau driver.... the nvidia ones i installed from addition drivers works wonderfully [21:26] Architx, what do you expect to happen, but isnt? [21:26] guntbert: i ll try(ill be disconnected) [21:26] <_skpl> brontosaurusrex: how do i connect to my ubuntu boc once i have my ssh server installed? [21:26] naptastic: [21:27] I think thats the one that gaveme the black screen. Was the the nvidia 96 driver? [21:27] Architx, I've gotta jet--late to meet someone--good luck and sorry I couldn't help. [21:27] naptastic: i don t know how, i ll do that as second option [21:27] brontosaurusrex: i expect my ubuntu machine to get a dhcp lease [21:27] _skpl, with a client like filezilla, by default use your login name/password [21:27] <_skpl> brontosaurusrex: hwo do i know what address to connect to? do i get the ip address from ipconfig? [21:28] i destroyed my sources.list. where can i find the original for maverick?

[21:32] ikonia: I just have a problem that I need to get over on ubuntu is there a possiblity to have the silver light to run on ubuntu [21:32] or just changing nvidia to nv in the xorg.conf does the trick? [21:32] ikonia: rather than using moonlight [21:32] monaDeveloper: you need to look at tools such as Wine, try #winehq channel [21:32] I like fish. Just so you know. [21:32] monaDeveloper: very doubtul [21:32] Engammalsko: don't need to hear it, [21:32] ikonia: yup [21:33] Yeah, but I told you anyway <3 [21:33] Running Maverick 64, after an update (?), now after boot or suspend resume, reverts to "connected to [home ssid]", even when home network is nowhere nearby (which is often).

This is suboptimal, though. === Dink is now known as Dink[a] [21:35] holmser: what happens when you try to boot from the HD? [21:36] ikonia: I thought about that...not sure how best to frame such a problem in a search (for a meaningful title/search string) [21:36] guntbert: It puts me into a busybox console [21:36] Jmob: I'd try a few and see what comes up "wireless network do not refresh after resume" for example [21:37] holmser: you need to tell us the error message that you get [21:37] ikonia: thing is, it will use the home network ssid even if it hasn't been seen in a while (I've been away from my house for about a week now.

Could be PEBKAC, though. Don't think I caused this, but I am new. ikonia: i'll see what I can find. [21:41] Jmob: PEBKAC? [21:41] tbruff13: In theory, nothing bad should happen. However, since it will have been built using older versions of various packages, it's likely to be unreliable. [21:41] bubblegummybear1: Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

If you create the file, however, you'll find one. Although come to think of it, it's probably .gtkrc-2.0 that you want.

The actual file, that is, not a CD burned from the ISO.

It seems that the device has just broken mysteriously. I will test this device on another PC and then possibly buy a new hub.

[22:43] erUSUL, i added the rep. and installed that driver sugested. [22:44] s093294: well a reboot may help yes [22:44] skxx, long shot here but you could try google docs and see if its openoffice related or your printer drivers [22:44] specialmoose: good call, i'll give it a shot [22:44] nit-wit, thank you [22:44] skxx, openoffice is kind of iffy with ms office docs, least with my experience [22:45] can anyone help?

I can always drag a file's pane off the window and get a second window. I suppose that will have to do. [22:47] I generally do not like applications that insist on single instances. I prefer to have independent instances, so one can be killed without affecting all. [22:47] How do you create a launcher on a secondary/non-default x screen? [22:48] earthmeLon, Try right-click on the desktop. You can create a panel and go from there. [22:48] specialmoose: i started my resume in openoffice so it's not a compatibility issue [22:48] skxx, sounds like printer drivers [22:49] earthmeLon, But I do ask if you might be doing the same as I did, a year back -- and had multiple desktops rather than multiple workspaces, or vv -- the jargon is inconsistent. [22:49] specialmoose: i was just thinking that [22:49] I don't want a panel, xiong. I would like to create a desktop shortcut/launcher. [22:49] specialmoose: i had to use a driver that wasn't for my printer model to get the bastard to prind [22:49] print* [22:49] skxx, i could never get the gui printer options to work in System menu, i just went right to cups http://localhost:631/ === tronik_ is now known as JoKin [22:49] xiong, I have multiple x screens that act independently of each other. ie: I cannot move between them. This is what I want, minus the innability to create launchers :P [22:50] skxx, yeah printing in ubuntu is a joke [22:50] earthmeLon, I'd suggest that if you are staring at a completely blank desktop, you'll make the most progress by putting up a panel and working from there. I may be wrong. Why can't you create the shortcut whereever and drag it where you want it? [22:50] skxx, i have winxp in VM when I need to do odd ball printing [22:50] Okay, you answered my question. [22:51] xiong, I work @ home and sometimes @ office. @ Office, I have a secondary monitor. ATM, I have shortcuts that launch windows on the secondary screen. These launchers are on my first screen desktop. I would like to be able to create/move them to the secondary screen desktop [22:51] specialmoose: yeah i dual boot winxp for weird occurances like this bit it's on a busted hard drive that likes to give me migranes [22:52] skxx, yeah dont get me wrong i like ubuntu but its nowhere near perfect === cg_ is now known as O-O [22:52] xiong, If I right click the secondary desktop, I have the option "Create Launcher", which I click, but nothing ever runs/happens === O-O is now known as O___O [22:52] skxx, i have to use winxp in virualbox because of quickbooks :P === O___O is now known as o___O [22:52] earthmeLon, Well, I may not be able to help further. I found myself in that situation, played with it a bit, and decided it sucked. I altered something -- I can't exactly say what, although I could go into more detail -- and now all of my workspaces are contiguous. [22:52] specialmoose: despite it's flaws it's still less of a headache than winblows === o___O is now known as mnthetime [22:53] skxx, they both have flaws =D [22:53] specialmoose: i've never really tried to mess with a vm, i'm running kind of a low-spec box [22:53] skxx, i dunno im running on amd64 3200+ x2 which is damn old [22:53] I like this way, because I also use Compiz, and I like that they have separate 'cubes'. If I move 0.0 workspace, 0.1 stays the s ame, wich I like [22:53] earthmeLon, Quite frankly, I'm baffled, what you're trying to do. If you can't mouse from one monitor to the other, then I don't see how a desktop icon will help you. [22:53] I can move my mouse wherever. I just cannot drag icons/images/windows to another screen [22:54] specialmoose: any tips on a good vm prog? [22:54] In any case, sorry, I've exhaused my limited knowledge of the issue. [22:54] xiong, Thanks for taking your time to make some suggestions :D [22:54] skxx, virtualbox runs great for me, get the one directly from Sun not the VB that is in Ubuntu Software Center [22:55] specialmoose: easy to find on google? [22:55] skxx, yeah the one from Sun adds USB support and other things [22:55] skxx: http://www.virtualbox.org/ [22:55] zvacet: thx man [22:56] ? [22:56] specialmoose: skxx it appears they have fixed usb support for the repository version.:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB [22:56] about time [22:57] Is there a forum for Windows 98? I'm kinda into that OS lately, it's very nice. [22:57] skxx: but one from repos work just fine fore me [22:58] victorhugo289: #windows [22:58] ok [22:58] victorhugo289, your kidding right? [22:59] bastidrazor, if i downloaded it from sun, does ubuntu software center recognize it for updates?

[23:01] Or, at the very least Debian-specific. Since software-centre is a Debian product. [23:01] the ubuntu software center is debian specific? [23:01] specialmoose: no, it is ubuntu specific [23:02] im on ubuntu [23:02] Hey all I was wondering what is the best way to move all my data from one hdd to another using live cd when you have bad sectors on the old drive? (it is mountable and readable) [23:02] specialmoose: do you installed from downloaded deb [23:02] specialmoose: software-centre is written by Debian developers and then Ubuntu makes small changes to it before it goes into Ubuntu. [23:03] h6w: how will that ifo help him to install or uninstall virtualbox [23:03] so they updated vb ose in ubuntu software center to match the one directly from virtualbox? i remember ose being crippled [23:04] h6w: synaptic != ubuntu software center [23:04] zvacet: You are correct. My bad. [23:04] erUSUL: Yes, I knot that. [23:04] knot=know. === dave is now known as Guest21194 [23:04] specialmoose: I think ose was without support for usb but somebody earlier said it is fixed [23:04] h6w : np [23:05] <_skpl> i would like to share some files on my ubuntu box with a windows laptop, can someone help? === Eddie is now known as Guest19504 [23:05] _skpl: right click on the folder you want to share. choose sharing options [23:05] anyone knows about the userchrome on firefox?

Just use sudo. [23:08] Ghastly: Ubuntu will mount a dual-mode disk with two mounts. One for the data, one for the audio. [23:08] h6w, no it wont, [23:08] Whats up guys [23:08] it will show both mounts [23:08] kalash: Should be set up foryou. [23:08] but only one can be used [23:08] sudo will ask you for a root password [23:08] (the audio) [23:08] !root | kalash [23:08] kalash: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:08] I just used but well, I will go on trying the syntac [23:09] Ghastly: try in nautilus>edit>preferences>media and there select ask what to do [23:09] cool, that's the way it is, thx for helping me, good work [23:09] there is no root -_- [23:09] bye [23:10] hey === Jay_ is now known as thatguyjay [23:11] I have recently purchased the Samsung ML2525w wireless laser printer.

[23:50] one certainly isn't going to connect directly to an smb share over the internet [23:50] zvacet, i dont know what Gtk bindings and libhlade are [23:50] thatguyjay use ifconfig to find your private IP [23:51] thatguyjay That will get the local IP on the LAN [23:51] thatguyjay: But as netech says, one does not access smb shares from outside. It is for your LAN. [23:51] thatguyjay sorry my bad misread the question [23:51] so windows XP can do it just fine through VPN, but ubuntu can't do it at all natively? lol [23:52] thatguyjay: Again, if you have a specific question, ask it.
