[01:15] thanks.... [01:15] no problem [01:15] syrinx_: i just joined and ask there, seconds before you suggeste it. thanks anyway [01:15] :) [01:16] I need to acess Ubuntu through Windows 7. Any suggestions? [01:16] ok fixe [01:16] bastidrazor, im sorry okay i have tried that nothing happens when i click on it it asks me to run i am sorry you dont want to hand hold but i dont know how to run that setup.py i click and nothing happens does this mean i need a command and if so where can i find that command i am not trying to be mean, but for someone who has tried for an hour with other programs and everything im just a little lost [01:17] Te i dont see my nic listed after viewing lspci..... reseat the nic and on no change, get a new one? [01:17] futr_vision: How exactly, do you want to do it [01:17] the problem was that older versions were confusing the system and thinking they were actually newer [01:17] soo, i have this vm but i've forgotten the root password and don't know of any other accounts [01:17] intelligentfool: sounds like it [01:17] i don't think i ever set up root anyway [01:17] what to do? [01:17] syrinx: Doesn't really matter to me. I'm used to useing LogMeIn for my windows systems. [01:17] tpw_rules: if you didn't set the root password then there probably isn't one [01:17] syrinx_: what other accounts should i try? [01:18] i really am sorry im only in high school and im trying and i want to learn i plan on making programming my job when i grow up so please just help me this once [01:18] tbruff13: actually.. you don't compile anything. there is an executable in the portablelinux directory created from the tar.gz: click the portablelinux file [01:18] dumb question but a NIC should show up as "Network controller: bla bla bla" on lspci, right? [01:18] intelligentfool: Yes, it must be broke. Get a new one. [01:18] i do and it runs but when i try to create a disk i get an error [01:18] tbruff13: then you should submit a bug to them [01:18] te: thanks, just wanted to make sure it's not listed as something else.... if i pastebin would someone mind double checking? [01:19] hi, i have an ubuntu on vmware but i can't log in remotely unless i'm already logged in on the vmware's ubuntu. where is the setting that can let me log in even if the vm isn't logged in? [01:19] futr_vision: theres a few things you can do, do you want to just access the ubuntu computer from win7, or you want the whole remote desktop experience? [01:19] My child hit the power off button while 9.10 was updating to 10.04, is there a way to finish install [01:19] heh, nm, no easy way to pastebin a machine with no nic :) [01:19] intelligentfool: Yes, it should show up as Network Controller. What does ifconfig say? [01:19] ok [01:19] is there any way to get a list of users from the login prompt? [01:19] tpw_rules: I don't know, the one you created with the installation, I guess [01:19] syrinx_:I'd probably want the whole desktop experience. [01:20] i either don't remember what it was or don't remember the password [01:20] te: i get some communication controller and that's abouot it as far as stuff that looks like it might be a nic [01:20] what is the easiest mail server to run ? [01:20] Anyone? [01:20] AndChat, can you get to the cli? [01:20] ran usb-creater.exe as administrator on windows 7, and it fails to write the bootloader... [01:20] Cli? [01:21] could it be the filesystem? does the usb-creater not know how to format the flashdrive? [01:21] AndChat, command line [01:21] also, my cisco router isn't showing an errors on its side, which makes it weird [01:21] intelligentfool: What does ifconfig say? [01:21] found it! [01:21] intelligentfool: Does it give you a section for eth0 or only lo? [01:21] futr_vision: You may be able to just enable remote desktop and connect with the RDP program built into windows [01:21] te: ifconfig -a just gives the loopback [01:22] if it still has one, anyway [01:22] Yes, on command line now [01:22] dualcore: postfix [01:22] Wow ubuntu is so much better than windows [01:22] syrinx_: I'm completely new to Ubuntu. Where do I start? [01:22] intelligentfool: Ok, then I suggest just changing to a new or different network card. [01:22] Todd200: did you just install it? [01:22] futr_vision: do you have both computers in the same house/office so you can configure both machines? [01:22] any recommendations for nic's if i want to do dot1q or something fancy? [01:23] AndChat, kinda a newb/idiot, so please dont hate me if i lead you astray....sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:23] syrin_: yes [01:23] syrynx_ : yes [01:23] submain: have had it for about a week now, switched from wubi to removing windows this afternoon [01:23] Its doin stuff [01:24] futr_vision: in Ubuntu, go to System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [01:24] Is someone having rdp issues [01:24] AndChat: He wants to set up RDP between Ubuntu and Win7 [01:24] Use teamviewer [01:24] syrnx_: Got it. I have an IP address. [01:24] that doesnt do RDP AndChat [01:25] Is there any way to have the computer to prompt for your password before it boots everything up? Some of my startup applications don't work right because I haven't properly logged in yet and don't automatically correct themselves when I do [01:25] RDP is natively supported (for viewing) in Ubuntu [01:25] !rdp [01:25] futr_vision: set it up however you want [01:25] i tried to setup postfix before but it was really difficult for me. is there a gui for setting up postfix and managing accounts that doesn't compromise security? [01:26] syrnx_:How do I access from Windows 7? Any ideas? [01:26] Running sudo configure seems to have resumed the instLl [01:26] futr_vision: Win7 has a built in Remote Desktop program, it's in Accessories I think [01:26] Any neat tweaks to speed up ubuntu? (i try to squeeze every bit of speed out if my laptop) [01:27] can someone help me with my syntax? am trying to get convert to read from stdout [01:27] pdftoppm meh.pdf | convert -format "jpeg" [01:27] anyone here used openstack? [01:28] todd200: There's something you can do with firefox to make it faster where you turn on pipelining and up the number of max requests === Todd200 is now known as kevinkonrad [01:29] or use Chromium Todd200 :) [01:29] whats the difference between installing firefox by hand or having Snyaptic handle it? [01:29] syrinx_: already do, and I put my cache in ram for speed :) [01:30] 0_o [01:30] holybit: don't think there's any, your choice, [01:31] kevinkonrad: i just don't want to wait for them to port 4 to synaptic, but maybe i am missing some reason to use synaptic? [01:32] syrinx_: my laptop has an i7 and 8gb of ram, Im trying to cache more stiff in ram for speed [01:32] is there anyway to boot ubuntu into a console? Is there an fkey to do that? [01:32] thats a heck of a laptop [01:32] I'm stuck on "Checking battery state..." [01:33] i'm running ubunut 10.10 through virtual box (first time) and i can't seem to get it to find any wi-fi. what can i do? [01:33] ubuntu* [01:33] Does anyone know of a way to search id3 tags from the cli in ubuntu? [01:33] syrinx_: yes it is, best computer ever [01:34] esco: it says no access points in range? [01:34] excuse me but how may i find broken packages on my system? [01:35] shaneo: sudo apt-get autoremove [01:35] kevinkonrad - it seems its not even using my wireless card [01:35] thank you [01:35] im on a macbook pro [01:35] * kevinkonrad is not a Mac person O.o [01:35] well theres your problem [01:35] hmm [01:36] syrinx_: ? [01:36] well thanks anyway kevinkonrad [01:36] theres something you have to install to get airport working,forget what it is though [01:36] oh [01:36] ^ has better advice [01:37] <_antant> I'm getting a GT210. Will it make much difference if I get an asus or an msi one? [01:37] esco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Maverick#AirPort [01:37] _antant: msi? [01:40] <_antant> msi [01:40] <_antant> yes [01:40] thanks syrinx_, but that's still not working [01:40] _antant: i'd go with the MSI myself [01:40] <_antant> cool [01:40] <_antant> ta [01:40] ubuntu isn't finding it [01:41] esco: dunno then [01:41] So yesterday I was trying to make a linux swap partition on my external, and now my whole external is swap. Anyone know of a good resizing tool? [01:41] esco: you enable the driver? [01:41] how? === mbywater is now known as Ewwies [01:41] it's not showing up in the "Additional Drivers" box [01:42] joeyr: gparted? [01:43] nothing shows up in the additional drivers box [01:43] esco: I don't think that you can setup wifi in vbox [01:43] :( [01:43] kevinkonrad: its funny because gparted didn't recognize the hd earlier but now it is showing up. I'll try to see if I can resize the partition so that only 5 gigs is swap [01:44] AndChat, is that working out? [01:44] joeyr, 5 gigs is still a very large swap === michael is now known as Guest54372 [01:46] how do i ssh into an ubuntu virtual machine if i'm not logged onto it in virtual box? [01:46] !ubottu [01:46] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:46] edbian: It's a 500 gig external and I want to put linux on it. [01:48] !test [01:48] You're testing my patience! [01:48] joeyr, Sure. But I doubt you'll fill 5Gb. It doesn't matter how big the drive is. Swap is filled when you use so many apps at once that they don't all fit in your ram. [01:48] * syrinx_ just changed his swap to 3gb [01:48] I disabled my swap [01:49] yea? === tedy is now known as mo_bledhoz [01:49] alguien habla español [01:49] !es | arielsanflo [01:49] arielsanflo: 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. [01:49] OK i have a quick question regarding ubuntu netbook remix on my toshiba nb205 netbook [01:49] edbian: 3 gigs good? would too large a swap end up being a bad thing? [01:50] ? [01:50] joeyr: no, it just frees up space [01:50] when ever i start my computer, i have to hold down a key in order to get the computer to boot up [01:50] joeyr, Too big a swap is just a waste of space. Since you have such a big hdd it hardly matters. My swap is 1Gb [01:50] joeyr: how much mach ram does your pc hsve? [01:50] kevinkonrad: Why did you dissable your swap? [01:50] steelval3: so hold down the button... [01:51] te: bevause i have 8gb of ram [01:51] haha its annoying i was hoping for a fix [01:51] edbian: 2048 MB [01:51] kevinkonrad: Not a good reason. [01:51] te: how so? [01:51] steelval3: you sure it isn't a BIOS setting or something? [01:51] I meant to rep;y to kevinkonrad oops [01:52] its like something times out otherwise, i see the hdd light blink when i hold down shift, when i release it, the light stops blinking [01:52] Is there a way to clear my dns resolver cache? Somewhat equivalent to ipconfig /flushdns ? [01:52] joeyr, that's fine [01:52] steelval3: 0_o [01:53] Hi, folks, I want to install Fjalar(which is under Valgrind) into my Unbuntu 10.10(with glibc version 2.12.x), but the tools only support glibc(2.0~2.10), then I donot know how to solve this? anyone who can provide an help? [01:54] syrinx: so no fix that you know of? [01:54] Seems like bios bug [01:54] ^ [01:54] hey would some one pm me i have some stupid questions about ubuntu but a few of them im pretty sure there basic knowledge to soemone who has used linux /ubuntu for more then a year [01:55] !ask | daniel [01:55] daniel: 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. :-) [01:55] how do i ssh into an ubuntu virtual machine if i'm not logged onto it in virtual box? [01:55] sorry i'm a complete newb, so how could i fix it if it is a bios bug [01:56] well i just want to understand what gnome is and alterniatives and stuff like that [01:56] !gnome [01:56] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [01:56] !kde [01:56] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [01:56] that should get you started daniel [01:56] edbian: swap partition is made. Now I'm gonna try to install linux on my hd. [01:56] joeyr, have fun! [01:57] wicth one would be the most user friend like i like gnome but i wanna know if there would be a better one to use maybe one that could give it more of a glossy feel [01:57] !Xfse [01:57] aww [01:57] !lxde [01:57] Whoops [01:57] Still running I think [01:57] syrinx: if its a bios bug, do you have any suggestions? i'm completely new to ubuntu, i apologize for simple questions [01:58] !xfce [01:58] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels === Eddie is now known as Guest15957 [01:58] the bios doesn't have anything to do with ubuntu steelval3 [01:58] gotcha haha [01:58] alright thanks, i appreciate the help [01:58] Hey, i'm wondering how I can make a script run before /home is mounted? [01:58] daniel: KDE is glossy but slower, xfce is rougher but faster [01:59] does anyone know how to get a color fading effect on the top and bottom bars? [02:00] Guest54372: Hey you should change your nick to something more memorable [02:00] daniel, kindof a newb myself, and have only used gnome and kde ...i think gnome is glossier and faster, but kde has some applications that i like better for either the interface or the functionality...fortunately, you can run both... [02:00] Guest54372: You could make a chroot for the program [02:00] hey, can someone help me? How can I make a script run before /home is mounted? [02:00] mjs, is it easy as installing it to swicth [02:00] Guest54372: similar to how we chroot 32 bit programs into systems with 32 bit libraries, you could chroot that program into a faux-system with an older glibc [02:00] mjs: glossy = pretty, KDE is slower but prettier [02:01] mjs, or do i have to delete gnome first [02:01] is kde that much slower? [02:01] daniel: Only if you use kwin [02:01] daniel: nit very much [02:01] kde stinks I you ask me, no offense to anyone out there [02:01] dancek, i run gnome, and then install the kde app that i like....(available through the repos)... [02:01] * djsudn is offended [02:01] lol, sorry [02:02] * djsudn slaps syrinx [02:02] so how can I make a script run before /home is mounted? [02:02] daniel, i've heard tell of installing them both and then choosing at signon, but can't help you, as i've never done it... [02:02] syrinx_: That's a little over the top. (And it is OT). === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [02:02] hi guys.. [02:02] syrinx_: i hate its widget system, makes it hard to manage your desktop [02:03] "no root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" Anybody know how to fix that? [02:03] exactly kevinkonrad [02:03] kevinkonrad, subjective, but granted... [02:03] joeyr: you need a partition for / [02:03] pick the one you want as your linux partition, and for the path, put / [02:03] mjs daniel: you can install the kubuntu-desktop package and just not switch to KDM from GDM, and then when you log in there's the 'session' menu, or something lke that, and you can switch between kde and gnome. [02:04] ok so jsut install both [02:04] bastidrazor: So I have my swap file. The rest is unallocated free space. Do I specify the free space? [02:04] daniel: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:04] How do I make a script run at boot time? Preferably before /home is mounted? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [02:05] What do you want to be your main file system partition (/)? [02:05] joeyr: i don't know your setup. you need a partition for / .. do you know what the root partition is? [02:05] djsudn: What is your end goal? [02:05] djsudn: What do you want to accomplish? [02:06] ohzie, thank...your articulateness surpasses mine own... [02:06] with kde will i stil be able to use hot corners or w/e there called? [02:06] bastidrazor: I don't know what the root partition is. I have my swap and my unallocated free space, and it won't let me install in the unallocated free space [02:06] joeyr: / (root partition) is where the OS is installed. [02:07] joeyr: You need another partition for / [02:07] joeyr: tell it to use ext4, and when it says mount location choose / [02:07] Do this on the unallocated free space [02:07] joeyr: You can't install anything on free, unpartitioned space. [02:08] bastidrazor: I was just clicking around and I believe I go to add and choose "/" from the menu. I might just have it :) [02:08] joeyr: that is correct [02:09] kevinkonrad: "use as" should I choose "ext4 journaling file system"? [02:09] te ya there? [02:10] djsudn: Yea... [02:10] kevinkonrad: o woops just saw what you said above [02:10] joeyr: yes, best file system by far [02:10] djsudn: What is it you want to accomplish? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [02:11] joeyr: it working? [02:11] djsudn: If you tell us exactly what you want to do, we might be able to help you figure out how to get it done. [02:12] kevinkonrad: I'm about to hit the "install now" so I'll let you know in a second :) [02:13] hey all, is one of the differences between server and desktop edition is that you can't access the desktop edition remotely unless you are already logged in? [02:14] jbjohnson: not sure, server comes no desktop manager /GUI [02:15] joeyr: it working :)? [02:15] Thank you guys for your help! It appears to be working. The next thing I'm going to do after this is done is to repurpose a USB drive for "plop linux" so that way it can boot automatically to the hard drive. so stoked... [02:16] Enjoy :), I gtg [02:16] kevinkonrad: so would the desktop edition could still act as a server? [02:16] have a wonnerful day/night, all... [02:17] jbjohnson: it could :) [02:18] !Female [02:18] Todd200: if it's a virtual machine, could i still remotely log in, even if i'm not logged in on the virtual machine? [02:18] Female! [02:18] i have installed and configured postfix, opened port 25, and when i try to send a php mail() i see an active connection on port 25 in firestarter, but then the email never comes through [02:18] female! [02:18] !female [02:19] what's channel ubuntu female? [02:19] hum [02:19] women! [02:19] !women [02:19] The women and men of the Ubuntu Women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. [02:19] oh yeah [02:19] =D [02:19] ubuntu women? LoL [02:19] My mom loves ubuntu [02:20] no lie [02:20] is she single? o_O [02:20] nah [02:20] she is old and married [02:20] 58 i think [02:20] let's get back to support please [02:20] my gf's sister uses linux [02:20] ahhh she's too old, sorry [02:20] ubuntu is for everyone [02:21] gentoo etc. mebbe not for the fresh to linux [02:21] i got my nieces to use ubuntu, the youngest one went without a hitch, the oldest one took a bit to convince but once she started using her netbook and windows was so slow she started using ubuntu remix only [02:21] so, i'm trying to find a command that'll make a firefox link [02:21] ideas? [02:22] gentoo is had some of its packages hosed.... so the dev's have a hard time to maintain everything as well [02:22] MrPockets, where do you want the link? [02:22] yar [02:23] i still like gentoo a lot for servers...never used it for a general desktop os though [02:23] MrPockets: make a firefox link ? [02:23] MrPockets: you mean launch firefox ? [02:23] MrPockets, try reading about the command 'ln' [02:24] tucemiux, specifically desktop [02:24] but it shouldn't really matter [02:24] MrPockets: I use gnome to open in my default browser: gnome-open http://google.com [02:24] would just ln work? [02:24] ln will make a hard link with out a flag [02:24] nah, a dynamic or symbolic link is moreso for directories [02:24] iirc [02:24] you said make a link, read about ln to suit your linking needs [02:24] i have installed and configured postfix, opened port 25, and when i try to send a php mail() i see an active connection on port 25 in firestarter, but then the email never comes through [02:25] what does +j mean? [02:25] dualcore: +j sets a limit of amount of joins:per seconds [02:25] join throttling [02:25] o [02:25] yar [02:26] MrPockets: If you want an icon for firefox on the desktop or the panel, just right click on firefox's menu option and choose to "Add this launcher to panel" (or desktop) [02:27] How do I enable TTys on a customized 10.04 LiveCD? [02:27] MrPockets: Right click on firefox's menu option and choose to "Add this launcher to desktop" [02:28] so is everyone putting ubuntu on one big partition? or should i manually add /home /var ? [02:28] * MrPockets scrolls up [02:28] MrPockets> so, i'm trying to find a command [02:28] overclucker, thanks, that should work [02:29] hello: i'm installing ubuntu on win xp using virtual box. now there is a option allocate drive space: erase and use the entire space or specify partitions? which one i need to choose [02:29] memorygap0: as you have presumably already set a size for the virtual disk during creation, I would use the whole space [02:30] is there a channel for postfix? [02:30] dualcore: #httpd [02:30] memorygap0: Depends on what you can afford to use for linux. If it is the only drive, you obviously don't want to wipe the whole thing, (unless you're ready to ditch MS Windows altogether). [02:31] Hi everyone. [02:31] dualcore: actually there is a #postfix channel === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [02:31] memorygap0: tolland_ has your situation in mind... his advise is probably more correct. [02:31] oh cool thanks [02:32] had a question regarding a usb wifi device that I am trying to get to work on my installation 10.10 installation. [02:32] tolland: if i choose erase and use the entire disk.this option will not erase my os xp. yes i created 8gb for my vm [02:32] leppards: what is your question [02:33] The device is Ralink 3070 . It gets recognized and clicking on the network icon on the taskbar shows a list of wifi networks as well. but the password does not work [02:34] as in.. i enter it and the password box keeps coming back. It does not show any error message ... are there some logs that I can look up.. [02:35] i have tried to blacklist certain devices as suggested in this post .http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1407165 [02:35] is there a way to open a directory in the gui thru cmdline [02:35] I wanna install another windows without removing Ubuntu, what should I do??

[04:09] well, technically maverick meerkat [04:10] Anybody familiar with plop Linux? [04:10] <[deXter]> I've use plop but haven't used plop linux [04:10] <[deXter]> *used [04:10] Photocopy I see. It sounds like you might have multiple apps which have authentication credentials involved and thus you are putting in the keyring password to enable all 4 of them...? [04:11] back [04:11] Linuxpwns, so any suggestions? [04:11] lets all get naked [04:11] already am haha [04:11] Remove the keyrings as suggested, reboot then when it prompts you for the password again just hit OK to transmit in clear text [04:11] RealOpty++ [04:11] joeyr: Distributions other than Ubuntu are not supported in this channel. [04:11] Linuxpwns: I don't know. Usually I get connected to my wifi after the first, nothing noticeable happens after the others. Rarely, it asks twice instead of four times. My computer doesnt seem to be less functioning when it asks twice, its almost always four though [04:12] xene: That's not apropriate for this channel.

[04:13] so I have my NIC inserted into a slot, and Ubuntu doesn't even see it, this is confirmed by a lspci, how should I troubleshoot? [04:13] new issue... whenever I try and select an iso to use with usb-creator it crashes or just doesn't respond to the selection [04:14] [dexter]: I'm trying to make it so my computer recognizes my ubuntu on my external hard drive first [04:15] <[deXter]> joeyr: No boot device priority in your bios ? [04:15] @joeyr change boot sequence [04:16] [dexter]: It's set to the cd drive first. What I want to do is have a usb tell the computer to go to my external hard drive first [04:16] Have you been waiting 2, 3, 4+ years for a Freenode GRF (Group Registration Form) to be approved by Freenode staff?

[04:17] Linuxpwns: yes. [04:17] HAHA Saul Goodman. [04:18] Oh, fatty [04:18] would you mind telling me so I can look up your bios info? [04:18] it is I thoguht [04:18] Linuxpwns, know anything bout the nvidia hdmi working with pulse? [04:19] I use ALSA for that. [04:19] point taken [04:19] Linuxpwns: It's a gateway. The internal hard drive has windows media player 2005 running on it. GM5084 is the computer's number (Ithink) [04:20] * RealOpty removes pulse [04:20] realOpty, ubuntu 10.10 detected the nvidia hdmi audio out port on my box so im sure it would work... [04:20] well im on 10.10 [04:20] it does detect it [04:20] Thanks joeyr, i have a GM5632E [04:20] but nothing plays unless i use alsa with vlc player [04:22] Linuxpwns: No problem, I've been seeing all these videos about how people use either a cd or usb to change their boot order, but none of them helped because none of them mentioned booting to an external drive from having the usb first in the boot order [04:23] Ubuntu Server isn't installing properly from the USB. I have this problem every time I install via USB. Does anyone know why it doesn't detect it from the installer? It says "Insert CD-ROM" or something and gives this error: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47554702/ubuntu-1004-install-fail.gif [04:23] <[deXter]> joeyr: I don't see what the issue is? Just use the regular plop and you'll be fine [04:23] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRxDdFemjkg [04:24] joeyr, in the boot priority options in your bios (i.e First CD Second Floppy Third HDD) etc.... do you see USB as an option? [04:26] hey, im trying to boot 10.04 off of a livecd however it freezes just when it brings up the install window [04:26] any ideas? === skullgame is now known as abnrmalia [04:26] hi all [04:27] Molybdenum: you could try installing from the alternate cd [04:27] can you install ubuntu to a vdi/vhd and put it on a bootable usb ? [04:27] Linuxpwns: I'll have to turn off my computer to check. or do I have to? [04:27] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [04:27] i can try to look it up online real quick before you do. [04:27] as in that ben64? [04:28] [dexter]: Alright I'll download it [04:28] Molybdenum: sort of. theres the normal cd, and one labeled "alternate" which is a text based installation [04:28] <[deXter]> lrate: no need for a vdi you can just use the startup creator or use unetbootin or pendrivelinux.com [04:29] [deXter] the thing is if its a vdi/vhd though I can back it up easily and restore it when my drive fails [04:30] so i click the hyperlink that says a location near you [04:30] no... [04:30] <[deXter]> lrate: Again, no need because you can create a persistent storage space which is just a single file casper.rw .. it's like an image file [04:30] Molybdenum: download the "alternate" cd [04:31] where is that link? [04:31] alternate installer right? [04:31] yeah [04:32] ok [04:32] its a torrent, correct? [04:32] there are torrents available [04:32] [dexter]: alright, plop is extracted onto my usb drive [04:32] I use Clonezilla to image my partitions [04:32] or http if you prefer [04:33] ben64 the http one is in the "place near you" link correct? [04:33] Ex-chat [04:33] after a few clicks it can reach it [04:33] yea [04:33] but you'd still have to make sure to pick the right one [04:34] hello [04:34] hello hello [04:34] This is not BONO! [04:34] (if anyone got my joke) [04:34] linux is a world [04:35] Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [04:35] <[deXter]> Linuxpwns: You mean the song? "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?" [04:35] and that is the reason i love it [04:35] that is my nickname [04:35] [deXter] could you link me to a guide for that casper thing? and thanks for the info sounds like what i was looking for [04:36] <[deXter]> lrate: No need for a guide, just head to pendrivelinux.com [04:36] bye bye i got a job [04:36] <[deXter]> and download the universal usb creator [04:36] Is IPv6 48-bit or 64-bit? [04:36] dexter, how do you whisper in red? [04:37] [deXter] cheers, thanks again [04:37] <[deXter]> Linuxpwns: er, what? [04:38] when you type to me it appears in red [04:38] When you address my name [04:38] Hi, I am looking to install Ubuntu on a new partition that I'll create on my windows 7 laptop and I want to know if I can use the windows boot loader instead of Grub [04:38] lrate: I would recommend a standard install rather than a persistent live install. [04:39] <[deXter]> Linuxpwns: yeah that's automatic, just type the name of the person at the starting. [04:39] Mr_Midnight: The Windows boot loader cannot see the Linux partition so it would be prudent that you install Linux on top of Windows and let Grub do the managing [04:39] [deXter]: Does this text appear in red? [04:39] Mr_Midnight: Not in any reasonable configuration. Why do you want to? [04:39] but I can't stand that grub won't keep windows as the main boot option any time it updates the kernel [04:40] Mr_Midnight: it can keep windows as default [04:40] Mr_Midnight: Use the full title for the windows menu entry, quoted since it contains spaces, as the value for GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. [04:40] Mr_Midnight: That way numbering doesn't matter. [04:41] I haven't seen a way to do it without numbering.. [04:41] Mr_Midnight: Very simple. Install a package called "StartUp-Manager" its a GUi tool allows you to select your default OS and then let grub do the dirty work. Simple! [04:41] can you give a more detailed example? [04:43] Mr_Midnight: Open the Synaptic Package Manager. Type in "startupmanager" in search. Install the package. Then locate the StartUp-Manager utility. Under "Default Operating Systems" change to Windows. [04:43] Linuxpwns: If I do that I still have to watch for kernel updates... if I miss an update that I have it install in the background it will change the boot order on me and screw up on the next reboot... [04:43] Jordan_U: Can you give a more specific example of how to use the name instead of a number? === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [04:44] hey can someone tell me what this command does: if ! [ -f /etc/shadow ] [04:44] there is no man page for if [04:45] kontagious: should be "if /etc/shadows exists...." [04:45] kontagious, basically if the file /etc/shadow doesn't exist [04:45] oh [04:45] missed the ! [04:45] Ben64: I believe the ! makes it the inverse [04:46] whats the -f option? [04:46] Mr_Midnight: An example would be to put this in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" [04:46] 没有什么可以做的为 `install-data-am'。 [04:46] i just heard a notification and i don't know what it was, is there some sort of way to log this ? [04:46] Mr_Midnight: I see. I'm never aware of a workaround for this problem. But the simple, 1-2-3 click GUI utility makes it a snap to change back to Windows when you do come across the kernel updates. [04:46] kontagious: if "file" [04:46] 没有什么可以做的为 `install-data-am'???? [04:46] icedtea, thanks :D [04:47] kontagious: man bash, and then do a search for -f [04:47] 安装编译 没有什么可以做的为 `install-data-am'。 [04:47] !cn | jian [04:47] jian: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [04:47] Need your help!

[04:51] hey madoo [04:51] ok so next question... which flavor of Ubuntu do people recommend? I have been using WUBI but have been having issues so I'm switching back to a dedicated partition [04:52] using WUBI to install Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit [04:52] i use ubuntu [04:52] 10.10 regular [04:52] vanilla ubuntu [04:52] WUBI has a few bugs to work out still I agree with your decision to make dedicated partition midnight [04:52] how does WUBI work? [04:52] i don't like wubi [04:52] call me weird, but I think it might be cool to have title bars that still have the close/min/max buttons, but without the text title. Any way I can try this out to see how it looks? [04:53] icedtea: WUBI creates a virtual hard drive that is then mounted to run Ubuntu inside of instead of having a dedicated partition [04:53] it allows you to install linux while inside a windows operating system, but its not perfect [04:53] icedtea: It lets you go up to a max of 30GB and is good if you really want to keep using windows boot loader and just play some with Ubuntu without knowing how to repartition your hard drive [04:54] Mr_Midnight: ahhh, ty [04:54] Hmm. [04:54] Photocopy: Try emerald, you can edit any aspect of theme. [04:54] shcherbak: I'm not really sure how to switch it. [04:55] Linuxpwns: Alright so I downloaded plop onto my flashdrive(1G). I don't know what to do now. I want to boot my external HD(500G). Any ideas? [04:55] Mr_Midnight: I ran across this link. Might have useful information to resolve your problem with kernel updates. http://superuser.com/questions/102692/make-grub-keep-its-default-boot-under-kernel-updates [04:55] Photocopy: install emerald and ccsm, then add emerald as window decorator and issue command compiz --replace [04:56] how do you move all subdirectory files to the parent directory? [04:56] joeyr: Did you make PLOP a bootable USB image [04:56] shcherbak: I have ccsm. do i just sudo apt-get install emerald? [04:56] Linuxpwns: Thanks for the link I'll look it over [04:56] leapy0yo: cp -r maneoffolder/* . [04:56] Photocopy: yes [04:57] shcherbak: isn't emerald more resource heavy? am i going to take a serious hit for removing a bit of text? [04:57] linuxpwns: no. How do you do that? [04:57] Photocopy: I'm using the Vista Aero Black emerald theme. The one thing I like about Windows is Aero. [04:57] Linuxpwns: That's kinda a neat little fact but... your point? [04:57] how do you move _multiple_ all subdirectory files to the parent directory? [04:58] Photocopy: a bit yes. [04:58] shcherbak: i don't understand how to switch it to emerald now that i've installed it [04:58] cp -r */* . ????? [04:58] or would that be insane [04:58] leapy0yo: oh, files? use find in loop [04:59] joeyr: do you already have plop installed or are you looking to install it? [04:59] Linuxpwns: already installed on my 1G [04:59] Photocopy: emerald --replace [04:59] I see. [04:59] Photocopy: It will likely be the default when you restart compiz [05:00] soreau: before I fire off that command, whats my way out if it messes up. metacity --replace? [05:00] Photocopy: in ccsm go to window decoration set emerald, you need theme too, or try emerald --replace [05:00] Photocopy: sure [05:00] shcherbak: still not sure what part of the window decoration section in ccsm you mean [05:01] soreau: are there any places i can find and change up emerald themes and stuff? [05:01] Photocopy: one sec [05:01] Jordan_U i've never used ubuntu yet so I wanted to try it out before going all the way, wubi wasn't working so I figured i'd try for something else, If i could do a full install to a vdi/vhd i'd be up for that but I guess the best suggestion so far has been his pendrivelinux thing [05:01] Photocopy: emerald-theme-manager [05:02] soreau; where can i find emerald themes... gnome-look? [05:02] lrate: you can also try using a virtual machine inside of windows if you aren't comfortable partitioning your hard drive [05:02] Photocopy: There, compiz-themes.org and kde-look.org [05:02] Photocopy: text Command, either put emerald --replace, or path to emerald [05:02] Photocopy: I have a deb package of some generic themes if you want [05:03] Mr_Midnight that wouldn't allow me to test graphic related things though :( i lose either way lol [05:03] soreau: if i cannot get the elementary theme window border pretty much exactly how it is with metacity i'm just going to switch back anyway. Let me search around and see if i can find it adapted [05:03] Photocopy: Open Compiz Config Settings Manager. Click on Window Decorations. In command, erase default and then input "emerald". Click back. Open a terminal and CD to your directory containing the .emerald file. In terminal type emerald --replace EMERALD-NAME.emerald. Your window border should turn red'ish now. Open emerald and click Import. Double click on your imported emerald theme. Log out and log back in. [05:03] Photocopy: How is it different than metacity? [05:04] soreau: how is what different than metacity? [05:04] soreau: if i cannot get the elementary theme window border pretty much exactly how it is with metacity <-- [05:04] Linuxpwns: Do I do something with the iso image? [05:04] anyway thanks all for your help time to go grab a midnight snack and then start an ubuntu install on my new 48GB partition [05:05] soreau: I don't think that danrabbit, creator of the theme i normally use, made an emerald version of it. checking to see if someone ported it [05:05] I installed apache2, php5, the module for php5 and apache2, restarted apache2 and it serves PHP unparsed. [05:06] X failed to start on boot all of a sudden. :( I think it's a failed update or so. [05:06] joeyr: How did you install PLOP to your USB device? [05:06] how do I do those updates without X running? [05:06] medfly: apt-get upgrade [05:06] medfly: or apt-get dist-upgrade [05:07] oh yeah okay just found it too, thanks [05:07] * medfly tries [05:07] this is really horrible panicking in 3,2... [05:07] Linuxpwns: downloaded from firefox, copied to my 1G and then extracted the zip inside. I'm using plpbt-5.0.11-2 [05:08] nope :( [05:09] has sanyone had any problems like that here lately? [05:09] X not starting. [05:09] joeyr: So I take your BIOS does not support booting off USB drives? [05:10] soreau: i cant change the order of buttons on emerald? [05:10] medfly: Can you boot into recovery mode? [05:11] Linuxpwns: No, because I have Linux on my external and after I installed it, windows automatically booted up. [05:11] Photocopy: Sure you can [05:11] Photocopy: Somewhere in etm, there is a cryptic string you change.. it has text explaining exactly how to use it [05:11] I am on the computer right now, but with no X. it says that fglrx had trouble starting the driver (?) and later complains there is no capable screen found [05:11] Anybody know a good primer/tutorial site for IPv6? [05:11] I'll try to upgrade it [05:12] wait nvm [05:12] it said something about another package [05:12] linux-headers-generic. [05:12] medfly: sudo apt-get remove fglrx && sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo reboot [05:12] medfly: That should get X starting at least [05:13] joeyr, are you on the same machine that boots up windows automatically or a separate one? [05:13] soreau: thanks dude [05:13] Linuxpwns: What I'll try doing is turning off my computer and seeing if I could press f8 or something and see if it will let me, but I don't think it will === [271828183e-8] is now known as e000 [05:13] Linuxpwns: Same machine. I have Linux on an external hd [05:13] joeyr, restart the machine that has your problem hit ESC to enter boot options... if you do not see your USB device listed as a possible option your bios does not support booting to your external [05:14] help! i can't do anything with apt-get becuase it is constantly hanging up on the same broken package [05:14] rlankfo: Have you tried removing this package?

[05:14] rlankfo: pastebin the output to paste.ubuntu.com [05:15] soreau: It just really doesnt look right, still. I don't know [05:15] http://pastebin.com/Z2LWU9cT [05:15] even trying to install another package [05:15] it'll hang [05:15] ! emerald | Photocopy [05:15] Photocopy: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [05:15] right there [05:15] soreau: except metacity (although it's not for compiz specifically) [05:16] soreau: gimme a sec and ill show you [05:16] Photocopy: Actually, there is an alternative to emerald at least.. kde-window-decorator can do emerald themes with some help from smaragd [05:16] holy crap [05:17] any ideas? [05:17] is ignore list management a WISHLIST item? [05:17] rlankfo: deleting the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/request-tracker3.8.postinst will fix this [05:17] how bad can ubuntu for desktop be... [05:17] who can help me block people from downloading torrents on my network [05:17] whats the port number for torrents [05:17] rlankfo: but after that I suggest reinstalling the package [05:17] rlankfo: That looks very broken [05:18] soreau: hmm. Okay, so now compiz and metacity have become mutually exclusive [05:18] soreau: setting metacity --replace turns off compiz on me now [05:18] Photocopy: That's how it's supposed to work. [05:18] Photocopy: Only one window manager can run at a time [05:18] soreau: well before anything we just did, i had metacity running with compiz just fine === [271828183e-8] is now known as e000 [05:18] Photocopy: To use metacity theme in compiz, start compiz then run gtk-window-decorator --replace [05:19] fork()/sys_clone()/process creation in general is really slow on some of my ubuntu machines, any idea what could cause this? [05:19] thanks soreau [05:19] Photocopy: You're not running metacity, you're running a compiz decorator that is using the metacity theme [05:19] soreau: should I do a bug report? I didn't do anything too special to cause it (except updating packages) [05:20] medfly: Did X start? [05:20] soreau: it did now [05:20] soreau: okay. regardless; the non-emerald looks like this [05:20] soreau: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4159/screenshothmc.png [05:20] medfly: Don't get halfway through a driver install and expect it to work. Also, the default open source radeon driver is fully capable these days [05:20] soreau: and i guess I didn't try very heart, i could probably get emerald closer, but this was emerald; http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/6046/derpz.png [05:21] Knio: Those machines running ubuntu are lacking resources? (low RAM, not multi-core processors, etc?) [05:21] is anyone a cygwin guru [05:21] soreau: the driver worked previously. I think ubuntu asked me to upgrade the kernel, and that somehow had trouble in the middle. [05:21] medfly: There's always trouble with proprietary drivers [05:21] not multi core processors = lacking in resources. oh my god, it's 2011 :D [05:22] soreau: I see, OK. [05:22] Photocopy: Looks like it's just missing the titlebar text [05:22] hey guys, I'm wondering if someone here can help me with an NFS question [05:22] medfly: If you'd like to use latest radeon drivers, install xorg-edgers repo [05:22] soreau: well, it's all right now, I'll worry about getting it again later :) [05:22] Linuxpwns: nope. as far as I can tell everything is the same as the machines where its fast (they are running the same set of services with the same load, almost identical hardware, etc) [05:22] soreau: thats what i experimented with emerald for; i wanted to see what no titlebar text would look like and they said i cant do it in gtk-window-decorator/whateverthehell default is [05:22] medfly: Yea, you're using the open driver now [05:23] shoot moonchild; I'm not an expert but someone else may chime in [05:23] Photocopy: It's entirely your preference but I think they look close enough === koolhead11|afk is now known as koolhead11 [05:23] soreau: with how much I upgraded, it'd probably be faster than I'm used to anyway [05:23] what are the reasons for programmers to use linux? i heard something about better libraries or something [05:23] soreau; also an annoying 1 or 2 pixel thing appeared under my wifi icon on my panel and its driving me insane. idk why its there [05:23] :) [05:23] ...I'm trying to mount a directory off of one machine onto another, password files are sinked, I have no_root_squash in my export options [05:23] you can see it in the screenshots soreau [05:23] Knio: What about the priority of the process itself? [05:24] and on the client, the UID/GID of the files is coming up as 4294967294 [05:24] why should programmers use linux? [05:24] Photocopy: Try restarting gnome-panel?

[05:26] haoyihuan: /join #ubuntu-cn [05:26] andruha: what does top show (for the header) system load, memory useage. et. [05:26] /join #ubuntu-cn [05:26] lol [05:26] i dunno [05:26] haoyihuan: No space preceeding [05:26] i was just wondering if there was any advantage to programming in linux [05:26] Knio: On a machine that is running perfectly fine, are the specs identical? Same CPU, RAM, etc... [05:26] than programming in windows or OS X [05:26] join #ubuntu-cn [05:26] Same OS? etc [05:26] ? [05:26] #ubuntu-cn [05:26] The_Pharoah: linux has a remarkably clean low-level api [05:27] The_Pharoah: apt-get source That will get the source for all the packages(programs) in the Ubuntu repos. You can also go to sites like Launchpad and Sourceforge [05:27] Pharoah what language are you programming in? what are you writing? [05:27] moonchild: Well said [05:27] The_Pharoah: It's much more programmer-friendly, but you can configure any environment of your choice to be convenient [05:27] java, python, c++, html [05:28] I can't necessarily say the same for the user-facing interfaces of distros like ubuntu, but that's a flame-war that I don't want to get into [05:28] Linuxpwns: slightly different model of CPU, probably same for mb/ram, but all are comparable. tasks that don't involve fork() all complete in the same times, fork() is ~100 times slower on one [05:28] how does Ubuntu take 4K sectors into account? As far as I know, Linux cannot [05:28] moonchild: so i dont really know what api is/does [05:28] The_Pharoah: what audience are you looking at? that makes all the difference. [05:28] The_Pharoah: if you type in "programming" or the language of interest in the Ubuntu software center, you'll find a lot of cool things. [05:28] where can i see the man pages for ACL [05:28] Saturn2888: 4K sectors? on disk? [05:28] google "man ACL" [05:29] ac7ss_: programmers [05:29] Knio: Same kernel version as well? [05:29] ac7ss_, when idling it uses barely any resources, but the moment i try to open something the cpu jumps to 100%... [05:30] andruha: for how long? [05:30] The_Pharoah: maybe you could use come channel like ##linux, ##programming or any of the languages of your choice. [05:30] Saturn2888: Linux can handle 4K sectors fine, though almost no BIOSs can and it's very rare. That error has nothing to do with 4K sectors. [05:30] andruha: what is memory looking like? [05:30] Saturn2888: What program did you use to make the USB? [05:30] The_Pharoah: We already know everyone here is using linux but in those other channels, maybe some do not [05:30] Linuxpwns: I was wondering if I should just put plop on my external hard drive along with linux instead of having a USB. [05:30] moonchild, for atleast 30-50 seconds (thin only happens if the system has been running for a day +) [05:30] Linuxpwns: fast one is 2.6.32-30 and slow one is -26 :/ I can't reboot it to the newer kernel though. maybe I can find a different machine with the same kernel [05:30] The_Pharoah: are you making programming tools? [05:31] ac7ss_, plenty of free memory === ac7ss_ is now known as ac7ss [05:31] Where are you from ? [05:31] soreau: most of them are invite only :( [05:31] ! register | The_Pharoah [05:31] The_Pharoah: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [05:31] Knio: try holding shift at boot. You could also try running: sudo update-grub [05:31] andruha: sounds like you are using either too much swap, have too many apps open or have a badly behaving program running [05:31] its already registered?? [05:31] nah I mean its running the live website :) [05:32] The_Pharoah: Many of them required your nick to be registered due to problems with spam and such === Zc456_ is now known as Zc456 [05:32] Knio: I see. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade does not work on the offending machine? [05:32] soreau: ok, i think i already registered mine though [05:32] moonchild, im using 30% of ram and 0% of swap [05:32] my girlfriend wanna use ubuntu [05:32] The_Pharoah: Which channel can you not join? [05:32] it works, but you need to reboot for it to be running the new kernel [05:32] anyone has idea? [05:32] Jordan_U: hi again Jordan. The one from ubuntu.com. Some LinuxPenDrive thing; not unetbootin as usual [05:33] it has the new kernel, just hasn't been rebooted [05:33] ajin: Give her a live cd? [05:33] Knio: And you cannot reboot at this time, correct? [05:33] andruha: don't know, maybe you got rooted? [05:33] The_Pharoah: your nick is registered '/msg NickServ INFO The_Pharoah ' [05:33] yeah [05:33] yes, this might be a good idea [05:33] Is your wait % going really high? [05:33] Saturn2888: Try following the instructions on the download page @ Ubuntu.com. [05:33] where are pidgin log files? [05:33] Knio: You are currently using the server in production enviornment right now... am I correct? [05:33] wait %? whats that? [05:33] yup [05:33] The_Pharoah: but i do dnot think you are identified [05:33] moonchild: yes. Jordan_U for 4K sectors, I have a pair of WD10EARS I bought. I've setup 4K in ZFS before in FreeBSD, but never done it in Linux. All I've read, it has issues. the most I can do is align, but I can't tell the partition the size of the sector or write area is 4K, not 512-bytes [05:34] tripelbb: ~/.purple/logs [05:34] Knio: Do I get a cookie for that correct answer? Not the tracking kind. [05:34] i tried joining #java [05:34] the 3rd line of top. shows where the useage is. [05:34] thanks moonchild [05:34] The_Pharoah: Last seen : Jan 28 09:44:53 2011 (7 weeks, 3 days, 19:48:33 ago) [05:34] yeah :) [05:34] The_Pharoah: I'd ask in #freenode about registering [05:34] Jordan_U: what instructions are there for the server version? [05:34] ok [05:35] Knio: All of the machines which are using sys_clone have the same identical source code across all the platforms... correct? [05:35] Cpu(s): 4.6%us, 2.0%sy, 93.2%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st [05:35] is there a seperate chat room for terminal questions too or can i ask those here [05:35] Saturn2888: Try following the ones for the Desktop version. [05:35] i.e the code is the same on machine 1, machine 2 ,etc [05:35] Saturn2888: modern drives don't use CHS for addressing, so meh [05:35] Saturn2888: If they don't work you'll need to use the minimal install CD. [05:35] The_Pharoah: as long as they are terminal questions in ubuntu, its fine :) [05:35] Saturn2888: *minimal install CD image, written to a USB. [05:36] so is anyone here at all competent w/ NFS? [05:36] Linuxpwns: yeah. its not our code that's slow, but running anything on the machine (like bash login scripts which fork a lot and call other scripts..) [05:36] ActionParsnip: lol ok, I was wondering if there was a command that shows everything hooked up to the router my laptop is hooked up with [05:37] The_Pharoah: I have a small shell script that shows all the valid pings. [05:37] Jordan_U: yeah, I've written to an old CD-RW I had lying around. I hate that it never works from USB no matter which I use. I can get into the installer and everything, just doesn't seem to notice sdd1 is mounted in /cdrom. [05:37] Knio: actually, if profiling the system, I bet bash is *the least* of the problems [05:37] ac7ss: how did you make the script though [05:37] moonchild: but sector size is more like an allocation unit in Windows. So long as files are not written less than 4K, I should be fine [05:37] The_Pharoah: it's a bash script.... [05:37] ! download ajin [05:38] ! download | ajin [05:38] ajin: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [05:38] ac7ss: ah ok [05:38] moonchild: Since this is a server and it will be logging a lot, I need to make sure it does that quickly. [05:38] whats crossover have over wine? [05:38] soreau:hi [05:38] ajin: hello [05:38] Saturn2888: modern FS's allow you to tune the *blocks* per inode [05:38] soreau: hello [05:39] typically for ext2/3/4 that defaults to 4k [05:39] Jordan_U: I followed the instructions though, not that I had to, and yes, it didn't work right huh. At least it works from CD, but that's really annoying since only a few rigs of mine have optical drives these days [05:39] moonchild: oh really? === lognull_ is now known as log_null [05:39] The_Pharoah: basically a do/while loop pinging each address in my subnet. [05:39] Saturn2888: man mke2fs [05:39] knio: have you tried "clone"? [05:39] moonchild: I should be fine then [05:40] Saturn2888: The minimal install CD image will work, but then you'll have to download all the packages from the network during install (not too bad if you setup a local mirror). [05:40] yeah, what's you're issue? [05:40] Time to align partitions then. And I'm assuming Ubuntu's installer doesn't allow you to do RAID1 when it detects 2 same drives [05:40] Linuxpwns:Do I have to do something with the iso for plop? [05:40] ah so they are just MAC addresses [05:40] Linuxpwns: strace shows clone() being slow, my own benchmark used fork() (not sure what kernel call fork uses exactly) [05:40] Jordan_U: oh it's okay. I got the whole CD === log_null is now known as k_wolf [05:41] Saturn2888: actually you'll have to try a few different things to figure out what works [05:41] Saturn2888: What do you mean by "2 same drives"? Why would identical drives be a problem? [05:41] i guess everyone here might persuade our girlfriend or any female in our family into using ubuntu(linux),lol [05:41] moonchild, I aint got no .purple in nautilus (yes I see hidden files.) BUT in terminal I see it. Arg? [05:41] ajin: linux is for people who are good with computers though.... [05:41] Jordan_U: in most installers it gives me a RAID1 option when partitioning to install. Ubuntu Server's installer is not. [05:41] I can tell you that HW raid solutions are a lot more ridgid than linux's sw raid [05:41] ajin, what's up? needa female perspective? === k_wolf is now known as log_null [05:41] * ac7ss got his wife to use it. just had to prove that her games worked under WINE [05:42] The_Pharoah: Not exclusively, anyone can use linux [05:42] tripelbb: blame it on the gnome folks trying to hide shit from yo [05:42] but moonie, I see .xchat2 and many many moe. [05:42] joeyr: I would use the Universal USB installer from www.pendrivelinux.com, boot into Windows on your machine and "burn" the ISO image to your USB drive using that utility. Select "unsupported" if PLOP isnt available as a option. Before you do this, copy the ISo to your desktop in windows, then format your drive as FAT32. Then open Universal USB program and browse for your ISO and burn! [05:42] moonchild: really? Yeah, I don't have any faster hardware RAID that allow monitoring in Linux. Why would I have to play around with it? And do you know if Ubuntu boots from GPT? [05:42] soreau: but really if you aern't in a computer related career you're gonna be using Windows or OS X [05:42] moonchild, why would they do that to me. === quiesense is now known as quiescens [05:42] tripelbb: i think there's an option in nautilus to view those files [05:43] 90% of computer usage is now web based. Give them a good browser and let them know it is safer from viruses, easy to transition. [05:43] tripelbb: press CTRL+H [05:43] The_Pharoah: That's simply not a true statement, Also, it doesn't have much to ubuntu, so let's try to stay on topic [05:43] Saturn2888: GPT? [05:43] ac7ss: amen [05:43] Saturn2888: Yes, Ubuntu supports GPT, and uses it by default for drives larger than 2 TiB. [05:43] moonchild, i can see hiddenfiles already. as I said I see .schat2 and many more. [05:43] Knio: I'm not a programming expert but from what I gather, "fork" create a new addres space while "clone" share address space between parent and child [05:43] Jordan_U: oh ok cool. moonchild <- [05:43] moonchild, I did cntl-F for .purple [05:43] Linuxpwns: Format my 1G as Fat32? [05:44] Correct. [05:44] Linuxpwns: it's a little more complicated than that [05:44] The_Pharoah: I am in a M$ environment at work, but use Linux for nearly everything outside of work. [05:44] Saturn2888: Make sure that if you partition manually you create a BIOS boot partition (automatic partitioning creates one): http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition [05:44] fork & clone are more or less the same call [05:44] moonchild, I have cured my stupidity. (blush) [05:45] the difference is that fork's new address space is copy-on-write [05:45] Jordan_U: gonna use Gparted in GUI mode to do that so I get 2MB out in front of the partition [05:45] Linuxpwns: For the record I'm on a live cd now, so I haven't gotten to experience "actual" Linux, which is why I'm trying to acess my internal. [05:45] TKS FOR YOUR ECHO [05:45] ac7ss: well most people would probably use the google netbook if they only go on facebook and twitter [05:45] Linuxpwns: I mean external [05:45] ac7ss: or an ipad [05:45] guys help, im in the middle of a raid in WOW and i restarted my computer after deleted Ubuntu a few days ago and forgot, now it messed up grub, im at a grub rescue screen and i need to boot into windows 7 please someone send me a privite message and help [05:45] moonchild: I see. Clone just uses more address space? [05:46] Linuxpwns: clone is lower-level than fork [05:46] Jordan_U: I will make my CF card /boot as I've been doing. Seems like I shouldn't have issues this way. Is there anything special I have to do in the installer to make sure the CF card is /boot? After installing do I modify fstab? seems like the right way to do things. [05:46] Aah. [05:46] dave_cave: [05:46] and used for threading & forking [05:46] i can help [05:47] how do I share a wifi connection, with the nic, connected to the router, so ppl can connect to it [05:47] plus clone isn't portable across different unixes [05:48] Chris: I take it the router is not WiFi? [05:48] The_Pharoah: or a cheap lappy with xpud :) [05:48] Chr|s: hostapd [05:48] !ics | Chr|s [05:48] Chr|s: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [05:48] Saturn2888: Just create a partition on the CF card and set its mountpoint to /boot/ and you won't need to do any fstab modification. [05:48] funny, I just spent 2 weekends wrestling with the router issue === mRy is now known as Guest68064 [05:49] moonchild: Thanks for the info. [05:49] ...trying to undo everything that NetworkManager does poorly :P [05:50] moonchild: configure ifup. :) use iwconfig and ifconfig. [05:50] Linuxpwns: Format my 1G as Fat32? I don't want to format my Linux partition on my external again. [05:50] joeyr: I see. [05:50] ac7ss: yeah, I have a bit more that I needed to do than that :) [05:51] now I'm slogging through NFS head [05:51] joeyr: You used a live cd to install ubuntu to your external drive correct? [05:51] *hell [05:51] Jordan_U: mountpoint? The way I did it before was to boot from the CF card and I think or something and that loaded the RAID1. I don't know exactly what I did. But something like that. I'm switching this system from the one that had the GRUB problems. I'm sure you remember it :P [05:52] for the life of me, I don't understand why the UID of every file on my NFS mount is coming up as 4294967294 [05:52] Saturn2888: I help out with a lot of grub problems so you'll need to refresh my memory :) [05:52] moonchild: whats your take on Unity? [05:53] unity is the netbook OS thingy? [05:53] It's meant for that but you can install it on Ubuntu Desktop Editions [05:54] I'm mixed on it [05:54] Ubuntu 11.04 comes with it packaged I believe [05:54] I don't like the way the selection browser hides the windows [05:55] but I'm kinda an odd nut in terms of UI's [05:55] It has a few bugs to work out but it has its ups and downs. [05:55] moonchild: Same. I'm a fan of the mintMenu myself. [05:55] I actually prefer the ~1997 linux UI (fvwm) better than anything around today [05:56] Linuxpwns: correct [05:56] not familiar with that hahaha I've only been on Linux for a few weeks! [05:56] moonchild: you can use devilspie (with gdevilspie from googlecode) to manually specify how app windows behave :) [05:56] Linuxpwns: it kinda resembled windows 3.11 [05:57] Jordan_U: http://badmarkup.com/gparted/ no? Something where GRUB was really compliacted and I had to chroot and I had hardy for the longest time, then I upgraded to Lucid finally when the version of my software came out and GRUB was still a pain. Then now I'm getting rid of that. I got 2x1TB drives so I wanna install Ubuntu 10.10 fresh and not worry about the builds I'd been using. I'm going at it without that special networking soft [05:57] is anyone good with setting desktop backgrounds [05:57] ? [05:57] Anybody familiar with making an external drive with linux bootable? [05:57] Linuxpwns: i'm warming to it, although I prefer lxde personally [05:57] ActionParsnip: I was honestly just looking ato the code for that last weekend [05:57] joeyr: When you pressed ESC (aka boot options) did your external drive show up as a device? [05:57] Mrwootwoot: I can use gui and cli to do it, so yes [05:57] mrwootwoot: what part of it? [05:57] whenever I try to apt-get update, it fails to resolt mx.archive.ubuntu.com [05:57] when i go there in my browser its fine [05:57] Linuxpwns: Yes but it said it wasn't bootable [05:58] I'm trying to set up a background that updates === lot49 is now known as jnfourteen [05:58] but it's not updating [05:58] its at the point now taht I cannot update my system [05:58] any idea what I can do? [05:58] ActionParsnip: I believe that using Esetroot should set it for you [05:58] Mrwootwoot: like a changing background over time? [05:58] My favorite casual play-around-on-have-fun distro is tie between Mint/Ubuntu. My favorite distro is Backtrack 4. I'm studying to become a penetration tester. I love those tools. [05:58] ActionParsnip, yeah [05:58] mod: Can you ping google.com ok? [05:58] When I log in i did something in terminal to make an appearance preference window open every time, how do i stop this from happening? [05:58] moonchild: maybe, i've always used devilspie [05:58] Mrwootwoot: are you using a script to change it? [05:58] ActionParsnip, 1 sec and i'll get the link to show you [05:58] no [05:59] soreau, hah yeah and chat on irc lol [05:59] mod: edit /etc/apt/sources.list & /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* and change the 'mx' to a 'us' or a 'ca' [05:59] Mrwootwoot: gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/path/to/some/image.jpg" [05:59] sigh... N: Ignoring file 'getdeb.list.bck' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension [06:00] mod: ping mx.archive.ubuntu.com ? [06:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apnppJtWBJU ActionParsnip [06:00] how do i get rid of the appearance preferences window that opens every time i boot? [06:00] ActionParsnip, i'm using a tool called Scheduled aATasks [06:00] its before i log in [06:00] mod: sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list.bck /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list make sure /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list doesn't currently exist [06:00] Tasks+ [06:00] ActionParsnip, was thinking of that myself till i saw it was epty [06:01] empty [06:01] something is really messed up [06:01] i should've never gone to 11 [06:01] Im trying to get rid of an appearance preference window that opens every time i boot [06:01] Linuxpwns: eventually when I get this squared away I want to put multiple Linux distros on there. Backtrack sounds fun. [06:01] ActionParsnip, i found a "fix" for it though but it didnt work.... here's the link to what i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1649670 [06:02] its at the login screen === shaw1337 is now known as ammy [06:02] ok now that i deleted the .bck its working better... cannot figure out where its look for the mx address [06:02] ! 11.04 | mod [06:02] mod: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

[06:02] Hi all i am using a ubuntu 10.10 and i wanted to know how i can get the log of an application which i am running ? [06:02] which is easier to hack WPA or WEP? [06:03] The_Pharoah: This isnt a hacking channel. Ask #aircrack-ng [06:03] i'm on day 2 of linux ActionParsnip do you mind walking me through it? [06:03] Linuxpwns: Backtrack would definitley be fun on a laptop. If you know how to hack, you'll never go without wi-fi. [06:03] sorry :( [06:03] Mrwootwoot: http://joeamined.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/automatically-changing-wallpaper-relatively-to-daytime-in-ubuntu/ [06:03] soreau: i was just wondering since linuxpwns was talking about it [06:03] thanks all [06:03] soreau: can you help me get the appearance preference page off of my login screen though? [06:03] joeyr: backtrack is offtopic here and not supported here either [06:04] ActionParsnip, ok lemme take a look at that link [06:04] The_Pharoah: I dont think so.. [06:04] my gdesklet is crashing , so i filed that bug , they asked my to post the gDesklets log (~/.logs/*.log) and the names of any displays you had open? I am currently using ubuntu 10.10 . kindly help me out [06:05] my gdesklet is crashing , so i filed that bug , they asked my to post the gDesklets log (~/.logs/*.log) and the names of any displays i had open? how to get it I am currently using ubuntu 10.10 . kindly help me out [06:05] The_Pharoah: Do you remember how you enabled the appearance gui for it? [06:05] soreau: nvm i fixed it, google is awesome [06:06] hi people! I'm sorry! I have some problems installing zend studio on ubuntu. where to ask my questions? can anyone help me? [06:06] soreau:what was the channel for hacking peoples routers? lol [06:06] The_Pharoah: There is none [06:06] aircrack-ng [06:06] Jordan_U: don't worry. I'll have more specific questions as I start doing this more [06:07] The_Pharoh: wep definitely... WPA requires you to deauthenticate an already associated wireless client on the WPA network. In other words if there is no wireless traffic you can't get a handshake which is needed to launch cracking tool [06:07] soreau: linuxpwns was talking about hacking wep [06:07] ? [06:07] The_Pharoah: try ##networking or ##hacking [06:07] ActionParsnip, is there a way to change the script to where it automatically downloads the picture from the website and updates the wallpaper every 3 hours instead of just 4 times a day? [06:08] ActionParsnip: Correct this is not the right place to discuss those tools. [06:08] Mrwootwoot: I've seen stuff on omgubuntu which grabs images from NASA. Depends if that floats your boat [06:08] Linuxpwns: hence I directed the user to a different channel... [06:08] halpbatman, /join #aircrack-ng [06:09] bazhang: sup? [06:09] Hey everyone. [06:10] Hey LorgonJortle [06:10] quick question, is it normal to spend 4 min partitioning ext4 for 1TB? [06:10] hi LorgonJortle [06:10] sdf [06:10] how do i not use the network manager to get on the internet?\ [06:10] pbear: How do you connect? [06:10] pbear: ifconfig [06:11] pbear: iwconfig [06:11] !ifconfig [06:11] pbear: terminal, aka "ifconfig" [06:11] I just installed Win7 on a 40GB partition, and I'm tryin' to bring Grub2 back to life. I reinstalled it as per the Ubuntu help doc for "Restoring Grub after Windows installation", but now when I boot I get not but a black screen. What gives? [06:11] :( [06:11] i was trying to do something and uninstalled the network manager. what i was trying to do was disable it at startup [06:11] yes its normal, consider all the space and to install it all [06:12] ActionParsnip, I found the script but I dont know how to manipulate it to update more often [06:12] Q: Do we all get the compiz -- replace issue, or is it just me? [06:12] Auriga: compiz -- replace issue? [06:13] Linuxpwns: how would i use, for example eth0? [06:13] Mrwootwoot: it's in the cron file, those are the hours it will change at [06:13] soreau, Are you new to Linux? [06:13] Auriga: works fine here [06:13] pbear: ifconfig eth0 up then dhclient to enable DHCP and that should get you online [06:13] pbear: dhclient eth0 [06:14] pbear: Assuming its connected to a device with dhcp setup [06:14] Jordan_U: forgot to tag you: quick question, is it normal to spend 4 min partitioning ext4 for 1TB? [06:14] Auriga: What does you mean by compiz --replace issue? [06:14] soreau: 9 out of 10 chances it is.... [06:14] I can't boot Linux on my external. Suggestions? [06:14] soreau, Judging by what you are writing I will assume not... the compiz - - replace, when you have to type replace to get back the window borders & buttons. [06:14] Auriga: Are you having some problem with compiz? [06:14] joeyr: Your motherboard does not support it most likely i'm afraid. [06:15] Linuxpwns: I was thinking I could make it from a cd instead of a usb. Put plop on a cd [06:15] soreau, Nothing I can't fix. Though I think you missed my point... [06:16] Auriga: You are wasting time by asking questions [06:16] ActionParsnip, You never have to replace your GUI? [06:16] joeyr: Your original intentions is to use linux on your external drive though [06:16] soreau, You are wasting time by being a moron. [06:16] dddd [06:16] So, after reinstalling GRUB2, I tried doing a 'sudo update-grub' but that gives me an error asking if dev is mounted... And I'm still getting just a black screen when I boot. [06:16] Any ideas? [06:16] Auriga: how do you mean by gui....? [06:17] joeyr: Have you considered disassembling the case of your external drive and extracting the SATA drive and then slaving it onto your desktop? Then just using it as a regular sata HDD. [06:17] ActionParsnip, Sorry not the gui, just the window buttons. [06:17] ActionParsnip, I'm looking through this file https://gist.github.com/835062 but i dont see a cron anywhere in there [06:17] hi i have my streaming radio and i wont to play from linux in this streaming radio how i can do this? [06:17] Auriga: oh, the window decorator? [06:18] Or if its IDE, slaving it as a 2nd drive... etc [06:18] ActionParsnip, Yeah basically. [06:18] Linuxpwns: I was wondering if I could copy the boot.ini file onto my flashdrive so it can say "hey, go to the external first" I don't want to do any disassembling. [06:18] Mrwootwoot: thats because it will run as a continual process. The script in the page I gave is a script whih runs when cron tells it to [06:19] ActionParsnip, I think you have never had the issue, it's a little odd to explain what happens. [06:19] Auriga: there is emerald which you can apply themes to very easily [06:19] testing irc, say hello to me please. :) [06:19] hi arnold_ [06:19] ActionParsnip, I'm not talking about themes. [06:19] Linuxpwns: I found another machine with the same kernel (-26) and workload as the slow one, but it's fast [06:19] hey arnold_ [06:19] arnold: whats up baby [06:19] Linuxpwns: i did sudo dhclient eth0, then dhcclient eth0. it's saying no dhcpoffers recieved [06:19] Knio: Interesting. [06:20] pbear: What is your ethernet cable connected to? [06:20] Auriga: "changing the buttons" sounds a LOT like theming, wouldn't you say. Try giving details and we may be able to help [06:20] ! who | pbear [06:20] pbear: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:20] hi i have my streaming radio and i wont to play from linux in this streaming radio how i can do this? [06:20] dombnexen: What kind of streaming radio? Where is the stream coming from? [06:20] dombnexen: vlc and mplayer can connect to streams very easily [06:20] oh well, I'm out for the night. thank you Linuxpwns for trying to help [06:21] listen2myradio [06:21] ActionParsnip, It's not changing the buttons, it's when the buttons dissapear, & you are not able to move the window. Nor close it, or minimize, you have to replace them with compiz - -replace. Not the same at all. [06:21] i dont know how [06:21] joeyr: No problem. Sorry about that. [06:21] pbear: It means that no dhcp server was found on your network [06:22] Auriga: you should have said THAT first, rather than "You never have to replace your GUI?" which is absolutely nothing to do with your issue [06:22] Empathy froze, sorry if I missed an answer. After installing GRUB2 again, I'm only getting a black screen on bootup. Is there something else I need to do? [06:23] pbear: Are you connected via wireless now? [06:23] Auriga: compiz isn't even a GUI, its a window manager [06:23] ActionParsnip, That is exactly what I said at first. I wasn't talking about theming, I said the compiz - - replace issue... [06:23] LorgonJortle on the black screen can you press e [06:23] how i do it in vlc or mplayer? [06:23] and go into the menu [06:23] soreau: what do you mean? i'm not sure, i'm working with ubuntu inside a virtual machine [06:23] python__: What will that get me? [06:23] Auriga: I suggest you use the startup items manager and add a new item to run: compiz --replace and it will be fine [06:23] pbear: Well you could have told everyone that from the start [06:24] * soreau goes to bed [06:24] that should let you get to the menu.lst file line [06:24] Oh geez [06:24] Is there any way to set the resolution on the virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+fN)? [06:24] Auriga: fyi, you CAN move windows without window decorators, if you hold ALT you can drag an application window from any place in the app [06:24] python__: Thanks. I'll give it a go. [06:24] ActionParsnip, ahhh ok i got it, but 1 more thing... how do i include the location of this picture as it updates? http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/800.jpg [06:24] python__: I'm runnin' it. :D [06:25] Linuxpwns: no, i uninstalled the network manager and can't enable networking [06:25] ActionParsnip, because i don't want to manually have to save it to my computer everytime it updates [06:25] Mrwootwoot: you will need to add a command to download it with wget [06:25] in that case try pressing ctrl+alt+F2 [06:25] does it bring you to a command prompt [06:25] mdkess: xrandr -s 1024x768 or pick another resolution, does that work? [06:25] Need some help building webkit [06:26] LorgonJortle are you running a liveCD to try to fix the installation on the harddrive [06:26] someone can help me plz for the streaming radio === root is now known as Guest14411 [06:27] plz pm me [06:27] I get this "You need the GLib dev tools in your path" when trying to configure webkit [06:27] dombnexen what kind of radio you trying to setup [06:28] i have from listen2myradio [06:28] dombnexen: i gave a possible direction, you can now use research to utilize it [06:28] yasmi you running ubuntu 10.10 [06:28] yes, python [06:29] i dont know how to streaming in linux its the first time [06:29] python__, yeah I am ubuntu 10.10, have installed all glib packages [06:30] go to terminal and type echo $PATH [06:30] and paste out here [06:30] /home/yasmi/bin:/home/yasmi/osg/bin:/home/yasmi/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [06:32] Do you know where the GLIB dev tools are located on system [06:32] yasmi [06:32] test [06:32] failed!

How can I change it so the splash screen shows at all times?

[06:52] smurfie: 9 is the absolute kill. [06:52] Smurfie: 9 is the signal you're sending to the process. signal 9 means kill [06:52] Ah ok. [06:52] Good to know for later. [06:53] smurfie: kill -9 is equivalent to when windows says "The program is not responding, do you want to force exit" [06:53] Smurfie: -9 is the biggest hammer and it WILL die [06:53] I had to reboot so its all good now.

[07:01] i have a command to show the hdd serial number [07:01] Jordan_U: You mean as in "/path/to/my/script"? [07:01] hello.

(give it a weird name) [07:03] memorygap0, Go take a look at installing Guest Additions. [07:04] ActionParsnip: IT does launch the program (an emulator), but it can't find the game to emulate unless ~/quake is my Working Directory. ;) As far as putting the shell script in /usr/bin, I shall try that now. [07:04] memorygap0: you can define folders which share to the guest in the vbox config [07:04] the result is Model=SAMSUNG HD161G, FwRev=1AC01118, SerialNo=S14Dj585959 [07:04] and i just want get the number in serial no [07:05] Starminn: you should then be able to run it from any place.

(Launching the file I just moved to /usr/bin te same thing happens (i.e. nothing) [07:08] i4ba1_: Earlier you said you wanted the serial number "Of the computer", now you're asking about the serial number of the hard drive.

[07:08] Starminn: You have DOS line endings in the file. [07:08] does anyone know which deb the network manager is in in ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso? [07:09] Starminn: dos2unix /path/to/script [07:09] my end goal is create combination serial number with hdd serial number [07:09] Starminn: $PATH is a list of folders the interpreter looks for binarys etc, you don't type: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install foo do you, you just type: sudo apt-get install foo the paths are not needed as the binaries used are in $PATH [07:09] i create the application [07:09] and the application need to execute the shell command to get the hdd serial number [07:09] pbear: network-manager-gnome is my guess [07:10] Starminn: did you mark the script as executable using chmod? [07:10] ActionParsnip: So whenever you run a program it stores the program "name" in /usr/bin so you can just type the Program name instead of using the absolute path. [07:10] ActionParsnip: Yep. I chmod +x it [07:10] ActionParsnip: yea that's what i'm try to find but i can't find it, is it included in some other deb with a different name? [07:10] Starminn: most times, yes. You can see all the folders with: echo $PATH [07:10] could anyone recommend me encoding software for doc files ? [07:11] pbear: that will be the deb name [07:11] anyone know how to get ubuntu to play a few seconds of the eye of the tiger as it boots up [07:11] QUESTION: I am unable to use other than default gsm n/w operator "idea" to connect to internet on huawei datacard , SETTINGS are ok? [07:11] i4bal_: run the line through a pipe: '|sed s/.*number=// [07:11] Mrwootwoot: Why not all of it? [07:11] lolcat, long song lol [07:11] pbear: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/network-manager-gnome [07:12] i4bal_: that will remove the contents of the line before the serial number. [07:12] Mrwootwoot: Still awesome! You could just cut it and set as login sound? [07:12] Starminn: you can see which exact binary is used if you use the command: which [07:12] ok ac7ss i try [07:12] Starminn: e.g. which nano [07:12] lolcat, i mean i dunno how to do it, but yeah i'm trying to find something on it [07:12] Mrwootwoot: The panel ddoes it [07:13] lolcat, panel? [07:13] i4bal_: make that '|sed s/.*SerialNo =// [07:13] ac7ss can you show me the full syntax? [07:13] Mrwootwoot: Can't remember, but I saw the sentece somewhere [07:13] hello everyone, somebody already tried ubuntu 11.04 on virtualbox and got it running? Mine won't install [07:14] ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks for the info. But anyway, so back to the original question. It is marked as executable, , the commands inside of it work wihout a doubt, but everytime I go to run it, the Terminal tells me it doesn't exist. (as opposed to the GUI which just... nothing happens whatsoever.) [07:14] Starminn: Did you see my comment? [07:14] i4bal_: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda | grep -i serial|sed s/.*SerialNo=// [07:15] root_: I got it installed. I didn't have that sidebar though. I just went to Settings->Storage, and set whatever was Empty to my .iso on my HDD and installed. 11.04 help is in #ubuntu+1, though. [07:16] ok thank you ac7ss [07:16] Starminn: ok, use tab to complete the filename. Use the absolute reference (from /), does it help [07:16] it's working [07:16] Jordan_U: I did, but I didn't quite understand what you were saying. (I was hopign Action would recap it in plainer speak as he tends to do) [07:16] starmin: i'll check that channel, tnx anyway [07:16] root_: also IRCing as root is a really BAD idea [07:16] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/583678/ [07:17] Starminn: you don't need the .sh file extension in linux ;) [07:17] Whenever load on my system is too high, I can't ssh in. It comes up with the password prompt, but as soon as I enter it the system just hangs. Any ideas what I can do? Is there some way I can prioritize ssh? [07:17] indeed, forgot to logoff, did upgrade trough phone, i will logoff root and come back... [07:17] ActionParsnip: So I've been told. But.. I feel like.. I'm leaving the file so... naked... [07:18] i4bal_: did it work? [07:19] Starminn: if you run: gksudo gedit /usr/bin/quakelaunch.sh and delete the carridge returns on the end of each line, then add a new CR (carridge return), does it help. BTW, a LOT of the commands you are running are simply scripts too, they have no file extesions too [07:19] how important is it -not- to show your local IP? [07:19] ActionParsnip: Just tried without the extensionto no avail. [07:19] yes it work ac7ss [07:19] Starminn: it's the same, file extensions don't mean much in linux [07:19] thank you very much ac7ss [07:19] RealEyes: local IP is worthless, it's the wan IP you should worry about if at all [07:20] alright thanks [07:20] Starminn: Unix and Windows handle line endings differentely. You appear to have written your script with a Windows text editor. Running "dos2unix /path/to/script" will change the line endings to the Unix style. [07:20] i4bal_: sed is very worth learning. [07:20] RealEyes: there are billions of 192.168.0.0/24 networks [07:20] join http://easyweed.tk/ [07:20] join join http://easyweed.tk/ [07:20] navwey: Don't advertise in here. [07:20] ActionParsnip: Still no luck. [07:21] yes that's worth [07:21] i never try that command before [07:21] Starminn: try: sudo apt-get install dos2unix; sudo dos2unix /usr/bin/quakelaunch.sh [07:21] Jordan_U: Wow. I did not know that. Hmph... How do they differ? (Yes, I know it's not great, but my favorite editor for code happens to be Notepad++ so I WINE it... good to know though..) [07:21] because you ac7ss tell me about sed [07:22] now i know about sed [07:22] Starminn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline [07:22] Starminn: gedit is pretty similar and will make proper text files as well as use a tonne less resources to run [07:22] anyone know how to change the color of the top and bottom bars... like blue fading to black? [07:22] how long you use ubuntu ac7ss? [07:22] i4bal_: that's the trouble, finding out what the tool is to use. There are so many. [07:23] i4bal_: about 5 years straight now. [07:23] wow great [07:23] Mrwootwoot: right click -> preferences then colour there possibly? [07:24] i4bal_: There is such a good community for support. So many ways to get to your end. [07:24] Mrwootwoot: I'm on natty now and haven't changed much like that due to laziness [07:24] * ac7ss has 50lbs of books on linux, not enough. :) [07:24] Jordan_U ActionParsnip: Super duper awesome-ness. It works -- the dos2unix program is what did it (nice call, Jordan ;) ). It works in both /usr/bin/quakelaunch *and* /home/robert/quake/quakelaunch so awesome. [07:25] ActionParsnip, lol yeah i tried that but it only let;s me do solid colors [07:25] Starminn: you can now run: alacarte and make a launcher to run the script [07:25] ActionParsnip: I do mostly PHP, and Gedit just doesn't have the same robustness of power to it, even afte rI played around with a few plugins. :( [07:25] Starminn: well you will need to use dos2unix for EVERY file you make [07:26] Starminn: You might like SciTE as a text editor. [07:26] None better than vi (or vim) Jordan_U [07:27] * ac7ss discovered X over SSH this week. fun at work. [07:28] any ftp server with GUI on ubuntu 10.10 ? [07:28] ActionParsnip: Nah. I'll make shell scripts in Gedit. I actually quite like Gedit for quick things, but it just doesn't do the job for me when you're staring had hundreds of lines of crap for extended periods of time... (I tried SciTE, Jordan_U, and while I do know that Notepad++ uses the same base as it, Notepad++ has built many features on top of it such as showing you exactly where things end and begin (I know Gedit does this too but [07:28] Hello, is there a tool like grep, that would search a binary file for a certain hex pattern ? and give out the address of that pattern ? [07:28] s7r: why does it need a GUI? === koolhead11 is now known as koolhead17 [07:29] for easy management [07:29] set home folders for clients. permissions etc [07:29] ActionParsnip Jordan_U: Thanks for the heads-up though, guys. I'll just have to bear in mind that shell scripts (or, well, anything for strictly Linux) I just need ot do in Gedit. *shrug* Fair enough. Thanks again, to both of you. :) You're both awesome. [07:30] s7r: if you install openssh-server you will get a secure ftp server and it will obey the unix permissions in your filesystem [07:30] ftp servers aren't often recommended unless you have a really good reason o.o [07:30] Starminn: You're welcome. [07:30] !info gproftpd [07:30] Package gproftpd does not exist in maverick [07:30] ActionParsnip: can i configure multiple clients on it ? [07:30] and set user available space? [07:30] s7r: sure, just make a new user like the one you are using this very second [07:31] s7r: or you can use webminto manage stuff using a web interface [07:31] !info pureadmin [07:31] pureadmin (source: pureadmin): Gtk graphic front-end for PureFTPd. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 192 kB, installed size 956 kB [07:31] there's also pureadmin which is a GUI to pureftpd [07:32] ActionParsnip: how i install it ? [07:32] ftp is godawful [07:32] s7r: install what? I named about 6 different softwares........ [07:32] webminto [07:32] Oh, come on, FTP does what it was designed to do. [07:32] s7r: webmin is in software centre, like most other softwares [07:32] Jordan_U: So I understand the difference between LF and CR, but what are/were the advantages of Linux using LF and Windows and friends using both? [07:33] ac7ss: sure but its very insecure and uses 2 ports (wasteful) [07:33] Starminn: CR/LF is a holdover from the teletype days. [07:33] Whenever load on my system is too high, I can't ssh in. It comes up with the password prompt, but as soon as I enter it the system just hangs. Any ideas what I can do? Is there some way I can prioritize ssh? [07:33] !webmin > s7r [07:33] s7r, please see my private message [07:34] Starminn: they fixed the webmin issue now ;) [07:34] as soon as I ssh in it's quite responsive, so I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere to limit ssh sessions under a specific load [07:34] thanks [07:34] i saw [07:34] ac7ss: Well, what were the advantages back then, and are there currently any to this day of one over the other? [07:34] ActionParsnip: Ah, well then. [07:34] s7r: I retract my bot call to you. [07:34] No, now we have SSH and it can tunnel all sorts of stuff. (vpn, X, ftp) [07:35] my ssh tunnels pretty much anything i like :) [07:35] ac7ss: its great to ssh from work to home, then launch irssi and chat [07:35] Does anyone still use archie? [07:35] i usually use it to tunnel email, irc, and IM [07:35] ActionParsnip: That is what I am doing now. [07:36] ac7ss: i'll be doing the sameon my 12 hour shift tonight too :) [07:36] Starminn: As C and Unix were developed together working with LF only is slightly easier in C (there is no difference between opening a binary or text file). There is no inherent advantage though. [07:37] * ac7ss will ssh and run pidgon [07:37] Jordan_U: What do the majority of languages use? (Just languages -- not counting how most people use Windows.) [07:38] ac7ss: its also fun to run web browsers over X and play the sound through the serving sound device (also funny at 4am blaring out some Meshuggah to bother the neighbours ;)) [07:39] Starminn: Most languages follow the convention of the C standard libraries, strings are internally represented with only a single character for newline and on writing to a file the libraries convert to the OS's native format. [07:39] ActionParsnip: i annoy my friends when theyre over from the bathroom that way using my phone :) [07:40] ActionParsnip: I use mpg123 to play songs to my wife when she is on the computer. [07:40] Starminn: On Unix no conversion is needed, on Windows conversion is needed, which is why there is a difference between opening a file as a binary file or as a text file in Windows but not in Unix. [07:40] ac7ss: or you can use espeak and tell her nice things to get brownie points [07:41] ActionParsnip: I will have to look into espeak... [07:41] cool and it's installed! [07:41] Jordan_U: So (regarding the last bit about converting to the OS's native format) if I ran (just an example) Gedit in windows natively, and wrote something in C, it would then be saved in Windows format, and if I wrote the same in Linux, it would be saved for Linux. [07:42] ActionParsnip: cat "ShakespeareSonnets.txt" |espeak [07:42] ac7ss: hehe nice [07:43] don't forget the & on the end. [07:45] Starminn: Ahh, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you were talking about handling the writing of programs that deal with text files (for instance writing your own text editor in C). Almost all programming languages accept both line endings when compiling / interpreting source code. In fact Bash does as well, the only problem is with the '#! /bin/bash\n' which is not handled by bash but rather the kernel (I think) when looking for bash to use as an in [07:47] if i newly installed ubuntu as eg. bill, then is bill the root? [07:47] quuze: There isn't really a "root." bill is the "Admin" account. To run something as root use "Sudo" [07:47] #osd [07:48] Well, there is a root but you should never need it [07:49] * ac7ss "sudo su root" often. [07:49] not recommended. [07:49] Jordan_U: Ah. So if I wrote the rest of the command (everything *but* the call to the interpreter) in Windows/WINE and copy/pasted it ti wouldn't matter, but if I did that with #! /bin/bash it would screw it up [07:49] ac7ss: sudo su - [07:50] Starminn: Correct. [07:50] I type fast enough to type root. === maedox_ is now known as maedox [07:51] Jordan_U: Aha. Now, tell me more about how Linux doesn't (usually) require file extensions. I assume for pictures and such it does ( some .jpgs and .pngs and such), but what *doesn't* it need them for? (Sorry if I'm a bother. I had wondered why some files were only a name and now I can get an answer! ;) ) [07:52] Starminn: many files have identifying labels in their 'headers' and linux will find the correct program. [07:53] <[deXter]> Starminn: Most files don't need an extension, usually the header or attributes tell what sort of file it is [07:53] ac7ss: What makes the headers? [07:54] Starminn: They are part of the file format for pretty much every type of file. [07:54] Starminn: part of the file standard. look an a dump and you will see it at the beginning of the file. (gif87 is the first to come to mind.) [07:58] ac7ss Jordan_U: aha. [07:58] know this is ubuntu..... but can anyone spare a moment a tell me how to register on an IRC Server? [07:58] anyone using "motion" on their webcam, i can't access web feed from it remotely only on the camera machine thru browser [07:58] So, which ones do I need extensions for other than multimedia? [07:59] !register | Jak3st3r [07:59] Jak3st3r: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [07:59] hi. is it possible to install blackberry simulator on headless ubuntu linux? [07:59] <[deXter]> Starminn: generally, you don't need extensions. [08:00] [deXter]: So basically, try it, and if it doesn't work, *then* add an extension. [08:00] Extensions are for the user to identify the file, [08:00] How long has it been this way (on Linux)? (I assume Windows requires them). [08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: yep but it doesn't harm to add the extension, especially if you're sharing the files with other OSes / devices / systems [08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: It's been like this since the beginning [08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: In the rare event that you find a file that isn't recognised, use the "file" command to see if it can identify the mime-type [08:00] Yes, Win does require them. [08:02] Awesome. Thank you very much, everyone. [08:02] The big difference will be in different plaintext documents. [08:02] hi friends... === h3r0 is now known as Guest88862 [08:02] IE a KML flie vs a XPF. (linux sees both as text files.) === Guest88862 is now known as h3r0_ [08:03] Starminn: windows is STILL holding onto it's DOS days of 8.3 filenames and still uses the extension to identify the filetype, Linux doesn't and analyses the data. You can give a script the file extension .jp and it will STILL be a script. Windows would see it as an image (which it isn't), try and open i with a graphical app and fail [08:03] hey, I have a problem with two computers connected via ethernet... I'd like to access the webserver on a port 8000 on one computer from the other one [08:03] how can I do that? [08:04] eltigre: http://hostname:8000 [08:04] i've got some question that is st**id.. i want to know the hostname in my network company [08:04] eltigre: obviously change hostname to the actual hostname [08:04] ah sorry forgot to say that won't work [08:04] ActionParsnip: So Linux actually give a crap about what extension you give it. It only cares about content. [08:04] but it did not return any respons... [08:04] eltigre: or try: http://ip.address.of.server:8000 [08:04] eltigre: use the IP of the machine [08:04] actually doesn't give a crap* [08:05] that's not a very fair assessment [08:05] im using ubuntu jaunty === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [08:05] as I said it doesn't work [08:05] some of the windows computer did respon with their hostname [08:05] Starminn: exactly, people whom script in a lot of languages can use it to denote the language used but it will still work the same. You can even use names like: quake.thisisabashscript etc, very flexible [08:05] Starminn: I have found that it does in some instances, mainly text file extentions [08:05] there are benefits to both options [08:05] but some computer like redhat linux didnt return their hostname [08:05] the server is running on the same port. On the same computer I can access the site [08:06] h3r0_: Jaunty is no longer supported. [08:06] what should i do friends? [08:06] h3r0_: jaunty is no longer supported [08:06] !eol | h3r0_ [08:06] h3r0_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:06] oh too bad :( [08:06] !upgrade | h3r0_ [08:06] h3r0_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:06] is there a intel GMA 3150 driver for ubuntu? [08:06] i just want to ask about the network in linux [08:06] purely relying on content type magic means having to open every file and having a look at it to try to work out which files are of the type you want [08:06] how can i get a hostname from linux server that they didnt implement samba? [08:06] ljsoftnet: should just be the open source intel driver that is built in [08:07] or netbios? [08:07] h3r0_: you can search in your router's dhcp clients table === sm is now known as Guest89015 [08:07] Ben64 oh its already in ubuntu 10.04? [08:07] how can I open the 8000 for other computer to reach it? [08:08] ljsoftnet: it should have been in for years [08:08] oh means i need to nslookup or dig? [08:08] but our company use static ip :( [08:08] Ben64 how do i know if it is installed? [08:09] eltigre: do you have apache running? [08:09] eltigre: if it's 2 machines on the same lan and you havn't configured your firewall then it's already open [08:09] ljsoftnet: the module should be included with all installs [08:09] ljsoftnet: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/install-intel-latest-driver-to-your-ubuntu-10-04/1278/ [08:09] ljsoftnet: its already included, you may just need an xorg.conf file to get it going [08:09] i remember using intel gma on edgy eft [08:10] * ActionParsnip only uses nvidia vga [08:10] my laptop doesn't have a choice :P [08:11] but you had choice in the laptop..... [08:11] intel driver has some nice tools though, like intel_gpu_top [08:11] ActionParsnip: not really... got mine for $300. [08:12] how to find if my ubuntu is 64/32 bits? [08:12] sl33k_: uname -a [08:12] thanks [08:13] Ben64: it says i686 [08:13] actually, uname -m just prints what you want === Guest89015 is now known as sm` [08:13] Does the nvidia nouveau support Graphics acceleration? I am assuming not because the compiz affects are not working? [08:13] sl33k_: i686 should be 32 bit [08:14] This is for Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition [08:14] osxfr33k: not sure if it supports accel, but the proprietary driver works great [08:14] Ben64, are you sure [08:14] How can I rename a bunch of files from .gif to .jpg? [08:14] x86_64 would be 64 [08:14] oh sorry [08:15] rypervenche: rename or convert [08:15] I am at a loss as to why when I install the nvidia 96 prop. driver I get a black screen. I have to edit the xorg.conf file and change "nvidia" to "nv" to get my screen back [08:15] where can I find menu.lst now ? [08:15] !grub2 | Blou_Aap [08:15] Blou_Aap: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:15] i havent edited that file since 9.04 [08:15] I have a Dell C840 with Geofroce4Go 440 graphics card with 64MB [08:16] osxfr33k: how do you install it, which gpu do you have, what version of ubuntu [08:16] :O thats cool [08:16] If I pop open a Terminal, and run a file or programs or something, it has to stay open till I either force quit the application along with the Terminal, or I close the app. How do I open it without requiring Terminal the whole time too? For example, << gksudo nautilus >> [08:16] 10.10 desktop I install it from system admin driver [08:16] I have all the updated so GDM must be the latest [08:16] Starminn: go to the terminal, hit CTRL+Z, then type "bg", then you can exit the terminal [08:17] rpyervenche: rename "s/.*\.jpg/.gif/" *.jpg [08:17] updated software I meant [08:17] Hey what package controls the boot splash? [08:17] Starminn: or when you run a program, run it with & at the end [08:17] gpu I just mentioned it above [08:17] Blou_Aap: I think that you are looking for /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [08:17] ye [08:17] (seems to replace menu.lst [08:17] Hello. Does anybody know a database where I can see which printers/scanners work with Ubuntu? [08:17] got it thanks [08:18] wow big difference though [08:18] Geofroce4Go 440 graphics card with 64MB [08:18] NV17 [08:18] Is that Prop driver basically the same when Nvidia supplies from there site? [08:18] that does not work either [08:18] rpyervenche: convert: mogrify -format jpg *.gif [08:19] ben64: Aha, thank you. Both of those did it (although "bg" was unecessary) [08:19] I am still having trouble to access a webserver over a local network [08:19] Starminn: err... "bg 1" [08:19] osxfr33k: I believe the nvidia 96 driver is in the proposed repo [08:20] Starminn: otherwise the program woiuld probably be frozen [08:20] I now how to address it, the other computer just refuses the connection [08:20] eltigre: can you ping the hostname, or the IP? [08:20] yes, connection is fine [08:20] eltigre: is the service running and on the right port? [08:20] yes [08:21] Ben64: No, no, no, I mean I run let's say << gksudo nautilus >>. I go to the Terminal, hit CTRL+Z, and it runs fine [08:21] eltigre: ok can you open the page on the local system? [08:21] yes [08:21] Starminn: well thats cause nautilus is always running :) [08:21] But the release notes sais there is an issue with that Prop driver in Ubuntu 10.10 meerkat and not because of the distro release but because of xorg 1.9 [08:21] eltigre: is there an access restriction in the config to only allow local access by default? [08:21] Ben64: Ah. Good point. [08:21] What is the channel for e17? [08:21] ActionParsnip, now, it's a django development server [08:22] Firefishe: #enlightenment maybe [08:22] and there are usually no restrictions. Other projects don't work either [08:22] ActionParsnip: thanks (I'm probalby going to have to 'doh' my brain for even asking this). ;) [08:22] eltigre: and is there a local firewall running with someconfig (a firewall lis installed by default, its just unconfigured and allows everything) [08:23] Firefishe: sorry its #e [08:23] that might be, and that's why I am asking how to find out [08:23] eltigre: well, did you add any rules? [08:23] I don't remember setting up a firewall [08:23] eltigre: then it's not that [08:23] eltigre: ok when you try and connect do you get any http error codes? [08:24] no, there is just the refused connection [08:24] eltigre: is anything showing in the apache logs when you try to connect? [08:24] eltigre: i think there may be some access rules in the service [08:25] there are no apache logs and no, the connection is not established at all [08:25] it looks like a firewall [08:25] im using ubuntu 10.10...when i lock the screen, my wallpaper is not shown..is there a way to show the wallpaper on the lock screen as well ? [08:26] any user could help me with bonding? [08:26] ActionParsnip, how can I check if I have some firewall enabled? [08:27] eltigre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo shows what a none configured firewall will show [08:28] eltigre: Are you using a third party or GUI package for firewall, nevermind, Thank you ActionParsnip. [08:28] no iptable entries [08:29] hey,I want to develop a app for playing music? what do I need to know? [08:29] van7hu: mpg123 [08:29] :) [08:29] or well there are entries, but just routing, nothing about ports and basically acceptin everything [08:29] yeah,thanks [08:30] eltigre: Have you read the MAN on UFW? [08:30] van7hu: you want a playlist, gui or what. [08:30] no [08:30] hi! is it possible to download the hole repo like it is possible in debian by downloading all 8 dvds? [08:30] ac7ss:just CLI [08:30] but ufw won't help me if there are no concflicting iptable rules? [08:30] shipship, mirror a mirror [08:30] Good morning! [08:30] shipship: you can make your own apt server and it will pull down all the debs [08:31] van7hu: easily scripted with existing commands. (mpg123 is my favorite.) [08:31] eltigre: Ubuntu is shipped or written with UFW , you can enable/disable by CLI. [08:32] ac7ss: develop an app for getting experience [08:32] gnewb, ufw is disabled [08:33] van7hu: I can think of an easy way to write a sh app that will read a file, take the first entry, play it and strip that line. just keep adding lines to the file to continue the playlist. [08:33] eltigre: Then you have no firewall active. [08:33] shipship: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [08:33] ac7ss: good advice [08:34] eltigre: Actually you do, iptables, UFW is a front end for iptables. [08:34] thanks [08:35] ok... so why is the connection refused? [08:35] eltigre: Do you have the proper access scripts in place? [08:36] I want to how to remote contro; m$,I remove the program and I forget it name [08:36] what is a proper access script? [08:36] I might have configured something in the last five years on that machine, that I am not aware that it is troubling me now.... [08:36] ayaka: what do you mean by remote control? (microsoft?) [08:36] eltigre: Looking it up now, [08:36] ac7ss, yes [08:37] and as I am not an extremely competent sysadmin, I am looking here for help ;-) [08:37] ayaka: you mean like telnet? or remote display? [08:38] eltigre: This may be what you need:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [08:38] ufw is disabled [08:38] ayaka, are you talking about VNC?

[09:05] ac7ss: Yep, I didn't see a deb, only the generic linux-distribution. I guess I'll hav to try to compile it to see if it works.

[09:32] that ubuntu is thinking of adopting [09:32] in place of X [09:32] llutz, i used to configure on /etc/inittab [09:32] i can find some upstart script but cant find where to config on which tty it will start or how many instances [09:33] froes: since ubuntu uses upstart and not init, you have to configure the scripts in /etc/init now [09:33] whats good about upstart? [09:33] czardoz: very good question [09:33] i mean, what are the differences between upstart and init? [09:33] llutz, and now i am back to my old question: i used to use init and was able to start 2 XDM instances on my machine. tty0-tty3 was consoles and tty4 and tty5 were gdm consoles. is there a way i can do it on upstart or should i go back to init ? [09:33] !upstart [09:33] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[09:41] czardoz, i cant see anything like that on the upstart script or the Xorg config files [09:41] tab, enter, etc [09:41] so my assumption is that i cant do it [09:42] can i set a environment variable on upstart ? [09:42] i just need to export $DISPLAY [09:42] so i can actually do that [09:42] I need to be able to select radio buttons for license agreement, at least. I suppose it could possibly be done with a keyboard bot. [09:42] just before [09:42] display seems to be a command [09:43] ruan: i will check out if it's keyboardable, before chasing a GUI recorder app down. good point. [09:44] derp [09:44] herp [09:45] hi all - question - i need a sound recorder and was thinking of the best utility to use - basically, there's this track which I'd like to have as mp3 (it's not a commercial track mind you) - I can play it from the website and I'd really like to have it saved as mp3, is there a way? [09:45] yep, it's keyboardable. tab is a good key there [09:45] night all. [09:46] Stormshadow, is it flash content? [09:46] Stormshadow, there is a firefox addon named "video downloadhelper" < that is the way it is spelled.... It should download the file in its original format [09:46] its not a video [09:46] its sound [09:47] the file is from kpmmusic [09:47] not sure whether its flash === aknm is now known as monk [09:47] Stormshadow: audacity or sound recorder [09:47] Some files that I download go missing and I cannot find them while browsing...? any ideas?

[09:48] can audacity record to mp3 any sound coming out from my sound device? [09:48] try pressing ctrl+h [09:49] irrespective of what the sound format is [09:49] Didn't work [09:49] They are on a seperate partitions [09:49] Stormshadow, save and then convert if you want [09:49] Stormshadow: yes [09:49] Stormshadow: but you need the LAME library first [09:49] is it a matter of playing the sound on the web url and running a record session on audacity? [09:50] ruan: ok, i can key through it all (if focus is not disturbed, it's an ancient windows app and flaky). working on xvkbd script now. [09:50] Stormshadow: yea [09:50] Please help. when I try to login in as sudo i get this message -> Softdroid is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

[09:54] czardoz: wheel for most distros but ubuntu [09:54] llutz: is is possible to fix it again? [09:54] right-o [09:54] Softdroid, use "usermod" [09:54] by login as root=? [09:54] see its man page [09:54] hi [09:54] yes, by logging as root [09:54] Stormshadow: is it a bold blue or just a light blue line?

[10:02] Softdroid, adduser username admin [10:02] s3r3n1t7: thanks [10:02] Softdroid, and ofcourse change username for your actual username [10:02] s3r3n1t7: Ok [10:02] <_antant> Every time I try and make a soft symbolic link it gives me a broken link. What could I be doing wrong? [10:02] I'll be back [10:03] _antant, are you using relative links? [10:03] s3r3n1t7, usermod -G adds a user to the group I think [10:03] though I might be wrong [10:03] Any one know a beginner setup LAMP guide? Did follow: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies but it eg. I have problem with user right and I have a upload script where I cant "upload" files.. works one a live site...

[10:43] ruan, obviously, but I can't seem to further partition the half of the drive (80gb) for kubuntu. I need root / and home partitions, and boot? and swap?

No. [10:58] Softdroid_: more problems... [10:58] coz_: yah, autoit is like a cadillac compared to all those other apps anyway *ducks* [10:59] erUSUL: So the only way is to format it? [10:59] Softdroid_: you will have to use a livecd and chroot. [10:59] s3r3n1t7: what shall I do ? [10:59] critical_max, I will have to revisit my search and check out this autoit :) [10:59] erUSUL: I have a live CD, what is chroot [10:59] sunit, ask your question again, to the channel. [10:59] sl33k_: Usually the pckages are only installed temporarily on your local computer unless you say differently otherwise. As a rule Ubuntu will delete them after having installed the package files on your computer and configured them. [11:00] Softdroid_: boot into the livecd and enter here [11:00] coz_: both autohotkey and autoit work pretty well in wine, autohotkey being a fork of autoit. which one you use probably will depend on pre-existing scripts you can reuse written for one or the other. barrier of entry for both is tiny [11:00] bullgard4: the executables? [11:01] ok [11:01] critical_max, mm thanks,,, i am checking it out now [11:01] sl33k_: executables are files and no packages.

[11:01] critical_max, good luck on that... would be nice to use something like this to create a compiz ... automated desktop... for a demo [11:01] sl33k_: So please put a complete sentence question here.

[11:24] sl33k_: synaptic [11:25] erUSUL: Thanks alot [11:25] HELP!! [11:26] jacklee: see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html [11:26] for some reason when i use the mplayer from a bash script after it plays the file it exits both mplayer and the bash script, without finishing the bash script. Any ideas what is causing this ? [11:26] sl33k_: from synaptic [11:26] thank you both [11:27] sniperjo, add an "&" at the end of the last command [11:29] zvacet, works perfect ! === C`ArokiaDass is now known as HarrY^Nova [11:30] Ive got a bash script uses mplayer to play a video file. After mplayer is done playing the file, it quits and seems to quit the bash script before it can finnish. Any ideas why this is happening / how to stop it ? [11:31] jacklee: good :) === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil === darkdevil is now known as Guest44366 === Guest44366 is now known as Guest48150 [11:32] indeed [11:32] sniperjo_: What does your script look like? [11:34] one more question.. [11:34] how can i update my applications without breaking my nvidia-driver [11:34] jacklee: use update-manager [11:34] soerenbnoergaard: mplayer -zoom -fs thefile.mp4 , once the video is finiished playing mplayer outputs "Exiting... End of file" and dies, and seems to kill my bash script with it [11:34] i have sony vpcz1 and it was a pain to get the nvida driver working.. [11:35] hey guys, how would i force a reinstall of the base python on ubuntu, i think its 2.4 but i could be mistaken [11:35] sniperjo_: Is there anything after that line in the bash script? [11:35] jacklee: why? Just use Additional Drivers to get the nvidia drivers. That way update-manager handles the updates for nvidia too. [11:35] AndrewMac: why? Reinstalling rarely fixes anything? [11:35] jacklee: updating applications should never break the driver. [11:35] soerenbnoergaard: yea.. echo "why isnt this working" [11:35] lol [11:35] jacklee: updating the kernel might, if you installed the driver manually. But then you can still choose the old kernel at boot time [11:35] updating the kernel or drivers does [11:36] apt-get update can not harm the system apt-get upgrade hm, because then it could be that X is updated [11:36] it wants me to update to 10.04.1 [11:37] if i update the kernel it may break my driver [11:37] jacklee: how did you install the driver? [11:37] because won't the libs be incorrect. [11:37] this called update in Ubunut, but actually it is an upgrade incl dist-upgrade... I don't like it, that they call it update [11:37] freebse: huh? [11:38] freebse: A dist-upgrade isn't supposed to upgrade you to a new release of Ubuntu. Its a misnomer. [11:38] sniperjo_: Hmm.. I made a script writing mplayer mp3.mp3; echo "Hi" and it worked fine.. [11:38] krib: the update-manager does call a distribution upgrade not upgrade but update in Ubunut, this is confusing [11:38] sniperjo_: Echoes "Hi" after playing the file. [11:38] freebse: read « man apt-get » on what exactly the "dist-upgrade" command does [11:38] Pici: forget dist-upgrade [11:39] Pici: but from version 10.04 to 10.10 is an upgrade not an update [11:39] freebse: oh [11:39] jrib i downloaded a certain nvidia driver from the internet to get the screen to work [11:39] sniperjo_: Do you have #!/bin/bash in the start of the file? [11:40] jacklee: yes, get rid of that one and use System → Administration → Additional Drivers instead [11:40] sniperjo_: just paste the whole script in a pastebin... [11:40] soerenbnoergaard, hang on ill posit it on pastebin [11:40] when i installed ubuntu without following the tut i would just get a black screen. [11:40] no display [11:40] freebse: but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade to new release [11:41] i tried the additional drivers which didn't work [11:41] anyone have used the new firefox 4? [11:41] zvacet: it only shows the option like 'mark for installation' [11:41] I think freebse is just complaining about the wording that update-manager uses when offering a distribution upgrade to users [11:41] offsense, yes and it is great [11:41] zvacet: I know, the only problem is the Ubuntu calls Upgrades Updates in it's graphical GUI thing [11:41] offsense: me me me [11:41] ;P [11:41] jacklee: how did you try it if your screen was black? [11:41] right because it should be called upgrade-manager [11:41] freebse: You want to file a bug if you think it is misleading. [11:41] edbian, v_v : lol is it much faster than current chrome ? [11:41] Pici: it is no bug, init? [11:42] freebse, It's annoying. There are two many things that a common layperson would call 'upgrading' and they simply ran out of words [11:42] offsense: no [11:42] offsense, I think it's as fast as chrome. [11:42] sl33k_: you also can see installed packages with green box on the left [11:42] jrib because had onen stange i got it to work but i couldn't go above 600by800 then i tried the addional drivers from the update manager rebooted and black screen [11:42] soerenbnoergaard: http://pastebin.com/rQ8wuXLB [11:43] coz_: got AutoIT to read my bash variables :) :) [11:43] hello all [11:43] mwuahaha [11:43] erUSUL soerenbnoergaard : i thinks almost like its trigging the while to finnish [11:43] sniperjo_: So it doesn't stay in the while-loop? [11:44] тут русские есть? [11:44] Hi, guys, real desperate problem. how to I recover files from a directory which has had a symbolic link to itself copied in to it? [11:44] soerenbnoergaard: no, hops out of it for some reason [11:44] freebse: my English is not so good to go with semantic but when you can upgrade to new release update manager tell you that [11:44] !ru | s1l21x1 [11:44] s1l21x1: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [11:44] zvacet: i cant find any green box [11:44] feisar: move it out with the file manager, not the shell? [11:44] feisar, Open the file using nautilus and copy them out. [11:45] wow, a situation where the gui can do something the shell can't [11:45] sl33k_: you don't have any packages installed it is not possible what package you are looking for [11:45] http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ar0&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=nvidia+sony+300m+vpc+linux+blackscreen&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= [11:45] I'm trying to grow a mdadm raid5 array. Found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517282 and it's working until the last "resize2fs /dev/md0" step, I either get "kernel doesn't support online resizing" or "device busy while trying to open" and "couldn't find valid superblock" (those last two while unmounted). [11:45] jacklee: I think you should use Additional Drivers and troubleshoot your issues with it. Otherwise, yes your nvidia drivers will likely break everytime you upgrade you get a new kernel [11:45] zvacet: i have downloaded some newer pre release packages. If i download the old stable packages, will it overwrite those previously installed? [11:45] feisar: the ubuntu file manager works in many cases where bash chokes and dies, like files named "_" always happen to me. bash won't touch those. [11:45] see all the trouble people have with these cards [11:45] s/downloaded/installed === arif-ali is now known as arif_ali [11:46] edbian: I cant open the directory it no longer has a directory icon === arif_ali is now known as arif-ali [11:46] sl33k_: how did you install newer package [11:46] #ubuntu-ru [11:46] как зайти на другой канал? [11:46] feisar, What kind of icon does it have? What does file think it is? [11:47] zvacet: i think from github [11:47] sniperjo_: I'm not that into bash loops, but maybe you could get it to continue even though it gets EOF. [11:47] sl33k_: debpackge? [11:47] jacklee: the first few hits from the google search you just posted suggest you can just place a few lines in your xorg.conf [11:47] zvacet: tar [11:47] jrib i tried all that [11:47] sl33k_: so you compiled it ? [11:48] how can i enter other channel exp: #ubuntu-ru??? [11:48] ya [11:48] tried all the xorg hacks [11:48] nikita_: /join #ubuntu-ru [11:48] nikita_: /j #ubuntu-ru [11:48] pls help i am noob in IRC [11:48] tnx [11:48] feisar: i'm confused about how you even got to where you are at: normally "ln -s somefile somefile" fails to overwrite the original\ [11:49] zvacet, [11:49] jacklee: well then your options are either to use a ppa with a version of the nvidia driver that works or set up dkms with your manually installed driver or install the driver yourself everytime the kernel upgrades [11:49] sniperjo_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3628677/how-to-make-tclsh-to-ignore-eof Perhaps this could help? [11:49] sl33k_: I think if you try to install older version that you will get message that newer version is already installed if you insist to install older one newer will be probably removed [11:49] zvacet: cool [11:50] jrib how do you tell which video card driver is currently installed, as i did this about 6months ago [11:50] edbian: ok here's what happens. Create a folder and put a file in. Right click and make a link to that. Drag the link to the desktop, call it the same name as the directory it's pointing to then drop it in the folder containing the original dir and say yes to merge [11:50] jacklee: don't know how to determine which version of the manually installed nvidia driver is currently installed. Maybe run nvidia-settings [11:50] feisar: ok that makes more sense. and i have never done that, so i can't help. sorry. [11:51] jacklee: in this case I would not upgrade the kernel, I would compile my own kernel and leave it like that, there is no need in updating kernels really, when system is running on an old one [11:51] freebse: except for security reasons? [11:51] soerenbnoergaard: so you think bash is getting confused which EOF its found ? [11:51] feisar, You're vague and confusing me. Can you show me in terminal commands? It's probably the most explicit and shortest way. [11:51] sniperjo_: Well, it seems mplayer is calling End of file on exit. Try it [11:52] jrib: patch 2.4.26.xx to 2.4.26.YYY, no need to install a new one [11:52] jrib: ok forget about it, because then you have to implement patches by hand etc [11:53] Hi. Is it possible to have 1 pc tower, and create 2 dump terminals which will be able to use the pc resources? (have their own keyboard, mouse, monitor) [11:53] ok cool well im using nvidia driver 260.19.29.. with the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 [11:53] which is pretty old.. [11:54] jacklee: what ubuntu version? [11:54] jrib: dmesg | grep -i "nvidia unix" --> NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module *260.19.44* Sun Feb 27 22:41:03 PST 2011 [11:54] erUSUL: thanks [11:54] squeeze/sid [11:54] jacklee: that's not an ubuntu version... [11:54] Does it make sense to copy the Banshee file banshee.db to another computer? [11:55] Patein: it is possible [11:55] soerenbnoergaard: export ignoreeof=1 doesnt change anything [11:55] bullgard4, It is mostly path names to the music files. If you have the music files on the other computer in the same directories it would work. The db doesn't actually save the music in it. [11:55] jacklee: lsb_release -a or cat /etc/issue [11:55] Hi all, i have a genuine doubt. [11:55] sniperjo_: Worth a shot... [11:55] bullgard4, I've actually had to edit it before [11:55] 9.10 [11:55] ranjan, How genuine? [11:55] I am trying to create a cron job with */40 * * * * /opt/Pentaho/data-integration/pan.sh -file='/opt/data-integration/MainTransaction.ktr' > /tmp/pan.log 2>&1 where the job will run every 40 minute [11:56] edbian: I can get this far with the terminal http://pastebin.com/McXS7NhP [11:56] soerenbnoergaard : someone from the mplayer board said : while read line; do echo "$line"; mplayer -really-quiet "$line"; done Hello. [11:56] I am correct ? [11:56] thanks pici [11:56] jacklee: if you upgrade to 10.10 you'll likely have things "just work" [11:56] edbian: (Thanks for the help) [11:56] edbian, we gnu/linux users are against proprietary software, and is all the artwork for free software like ubuntu done with free designing tools??!! [11:56] feisar, Doing my best to be helpful! Don't thank me yet [11:56] edbian: I have the music on an USB hard drive. [11:56] jrib 10.10 is what i tried to install in the first place :( [11:56] Somebody may help me please? I want to edit "Places" menu, but I could not find any way [11:56] jacklee: and? [11:57] edbian: How did you edid banshee.db? [11:57] edbian: How did you edit banshee.db? [11:57] edbian: but then using the gui I copy the link from the desktop to the home folder and click merge. Can I get back the file that was inside 'test'? [11:57] ranjan, Oh man. If you care that much about free software you should be using Debian. I'm not sure about ubuntu but I'm pretty sure in Debian the answer is yes. [11:57] jacklee: this is just possibility but ifyou upgrade to lucid maybe you can solve graphic problem [11:57] edbian: the answer is YES :) [11:57] ranjan: The answer is: mostly yes. [11:57] Somebody help PLEASEEEEEEE? [11:57] I want to install Ubuntu Lucid, pcBSD 8.1 and fedora 14 on the some machine ... is it possible to use one and the same swap for them all. [11:58] sniperjo_: I have to go now, but maybe someone on #mplayer can help you. Good luck :) [11:58] soerenbnoergaard: thanks for the help [11:58] jacklee: karmic is supported until april ofthis teat so you will have to upgrade any way [11:58] hemza: yes [11:58] Strabe: Open a nautilus window (your file manager) and go to bookmarks. [11:58] bullgard4, It's just a sqllight database. I used some package. I don't remember which. [11:58] Pici, Mostly means !??? that means afterall proprieatry software is needed for the survival of opensource and free software isnt it? [11:58] edbian: ok. Thank you. [11:58] I want to edit PLACES MENU, Someone knows, PLEASE?!! [11:59] edbian, are you sure about that? [11:59] Strabe: I just told you. [11:59] scarleo, but i think i cxan not use the hibernate mode [11:59] then i tried that someone installed this nvidia driver and got it working on 9.10 [11:59] I didn't see it Pici O.o [11:59] thats why i instaleld that [11:59] ranjan: There are not always open source replacements for commercial software. [11:59] lol [11:59] trust me i would prefer to have just installed 10.10 [11:59] what means that [11:59] jacklee: ok, but why don't you just install 10.10? What went wrong? [11:59] Strabe: Which part don't you understand? [11:59] I just want to remove stuff and add some places [11:59] jrib blackscreen [11:59] Pici: ya because ppl feel ok using closed source also on GNU/Linux [12:00] on the menu [12:00] freebse, Try to get the file out of there mv /home/simon/Desktop/test/doc.txt /home/simon/Desktop/doc.txt You said you can't open the file with nautilus? [12:00] Strabe: Which part don't you understand? [12:00] The one that says commercial stuff [12:00] Strabe: Did that have your nick in front of it? [12:00] edbian: hm [12:00] ?????? [12:00] Strabe: again: Open a nautilus window (your file manager) and go to bookmarks. [12:00] hemza: So you have them installed already? And hibernation doesn't work in Ubuntu Lucid then, right? [12:00] only the default driver worked which the res was ugly then i installed the addional drivers and black screen after reboot [12:01] Strabe, when i creat a folder in my home it added automatically to Places Menu [12:01] lol [12:01] edbian: mv: cannot stat `/home/simon/test/doc.txt': Too many levels of symbolic links [12:01] jacklee: the nvidia driver in the repositories is a higher version than the one you are using now [12:01] feisar, Can you open it with nautilus? [12:01] On bookmarks it doesn't let me delete and doesn't show places like HDD's [12:01] Pici, does that mean that we should depend on proprietary software and at the same time curse them. [12:01] ? [12:01] jacklee: which package did you install exactly, do you remember? [12:02] edbian: no: The Link "test" is Broken. Move it to the Rubbish Bin? This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/simon/test/" doesn't exist. [12:02] jrib tempting [12:02] ranjan: I think this discussion is getting off-topic for this support channel. I'd be happy to clarify myself in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:02] if i do the command said before.. i get back [ 7.091636] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.29 Wed Dec 8 12:08:56 PST 2010 [12:02] ok [12:02] feisar, I think what you did when you merged was delete the folder and its contents. Then you have a link pointing to nothing. (itself) [12:02] scarleo, No, not yet ... this my project, i like Linux flavors and Unix for that i want to tray them all [12:03] Pici: That bookmarks option just let me add or delete 4 places of 12 showing on menu [12:03] Strabe: Which places is it not letting you modify? [12:03] edbian: oh dear, that's really bad (it's actually my brother who has probably now lost his uni work). Thanks for your time anyway. Would 'Foremost' help? [12:04] hemza: How do you know you can't hibernate if you haven't installed Ubuntu yet? Or was it a general question? Hibernation will normally work, yes [12:04] Pici: When I click places menu, it shows HDDs, and some folders. Actually when I click on bookmarks, hdd's are not showingfor example. [12:04] feisar, No idea what Foremost is. Why did you do what you did with the symlink? What were you trying to do? You should look into data backup recovery. It's hard. I've never done it before. [12:04] hemza: You should have a swap that is larger than your RAM size for hibernation [12:04] i dont think i can go from 9.10 to 10.10 anyways.. === DingGGu is now known as LyukO [12:04] jacklee: because? [12:05] only to 10.04LTS [12:05] I am not sure I am right here, but....I have a laptop that has wireless and an usb stick to get to (gsm) networks. How can I make my laptop to be an access point for others to share internet (aka android 2.2 as access point sharing its connection)? Any one a how to somewhere? Thanks a lot! [12:05] hi all [12:05] edbian: he did it by mistake, dragged a link from the left bar in nautilus to the desktop and then dragged back to the main window by mistake instead of the links bar on the left [12:05] jacklee: well yes, you have to go to 10.04 before going to 10.10. Let me check whet nvidia driver is available in 10.04 [12:05] jacklee, Go to system -> admin -> software sources -> change the drop down from LTS releases to 'normal releases' and you will be able to. [12:05] how can i make make-kpkg to not add its own xxxxx-xxxxxxxx suffix to my kernel/debs after my own suffix i added with --append-to-version ? [12:05] Strabe: one moment [12:07] jacklee: on 10.04 the latest driver in the repository is older than your current one :) [12:07] scarleo, i know that. if you hibernate your Ubuntu session for example and the next time you choose to use pcBSD ur hibernation data in swap will destroyed... this is my idea [12:07] Strabe: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab and then of mount [12:08] by doing cat? [12:08] edbian, i dont have software sources [12:08] jrib really maybe it could work [12:08] sunit: yes, that should run every 40 minutes [12:08] Pici: PM'd u [12:08] jacklee, Software sources is a GUI that controls what repositories you're using. [12:09] hemza: Ah, ok. But if you resume from hibernation you will always get back to your last session, you cant start another o when resuming from OS, you need to reboot to do that [12:09] what do you want to do? [12:09] jacklee: honestly, I think 10.10 would work. And if it doesn't well you can still just install the manual drivers and be in your current situation but on 10.10 [12:09] Strabe: cp /etc/fstab info ; mount >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info [12:09] hemza: just to edit places menu like I want [12:09] jrib: thanks [12:10] Strabe: Please use a pastebin like http://paste.ubuntu.com so that its easier to read and that others can see it. [12:10] Pici: lol ok, will do. [12:10] Strabe, you want to add new folders or new partitions ???? it is different [12:10] can i make it so i can upload from 9.10 to 10.10 from the terminal [12:10] Hello. sooo.. I have ubuntu installed on my usb. I heard there are ways to decrease write to usb (some boot options or smth). How? [12:10] update** [12:10] scarleo, you are right [12:11] hemza: I just want to edit the "Places" menu. adding or deleting stuff. Like a harddisk that I dont want shown, and changing icon from a folder I've already added. [12:11] jacklee: You mean you want to do a distribution upgrade? [12:11] jacklee: you can not skip versions first you will have to upgrade to 10.04 and then 10.10 [12:11] kurwa [12:11] Strabe: I'm looking at this thread myself, it seems to describe the issue you're having: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1361478 [12:12] hmm i might run into 10.04 driver issues then [12:12] Pici: Will look, thanks. http://pastebin.com/dfsYz0tm [12:12] damn nvidia! :) [12:12] jacklee: I doubt it. [12:12] jacklee: or you could just backup all installed pacages, install 10.10 and restore all the packages? [12:12] jacklee: Is your current system fully updated? [12:12] can u pls recommend me a gui client for ssh transfers? (i.e. scp?) [12:13] hello, good morning. I am having compatibility problems using openofice.org presentation. When I try to open it in windows power point the presentations made wont open [12:13] remoteCTRL1: filezilla? [12:13] dnivra: I think you mean back up data [12:13] scarleo, thnx ... now i will install them all [12:13] hemza: good luck [12:13] remoteCTRL1: go to system -> places -> connect to server. you can use access via GUI-nautilus. [12:13] i ran apt-get update just before [12:13] pipepa just change the format when saving documents [12:13] or they woudl open but no properly, some pages in blank... does anyone knows how to deal with compatibility maters between openofice presentation and windows powerpoint [12:13] pipepa as far as I know openoffice uses its own format. [12:13] remoteCTRL1: Use scp in a GUI terminal window. (See man ssh) [12:14] terry: and that too. one can backup all installed packages in ubuntu and restore it too :). just three or four commands will do :). [12:14] or any other program to make presentations with beter compatibility? [12:14] terry: heh... [12:14] Pici: filezilla can do that? interesting thanks! [12:14] pipepa: you can't,m say thx to Microsoft [12:14] dnivra: How do you backup packages? [12:14] scheuri: it depends on your wifi device , **very few** devices intended to be client NICs will go into master mode (the mode required to act as a proper access point), you can attempt to provide an adhoc connection but then you're limited to wep encryption [12:14] terry: which was what i was trying to avoid as i have so many files in so many different folders to copy... [12:14] dnivra: also very interesting, thanks! [12:15] pipepa: no, sorry, PPT is not a free format [12:15] remoteCTRL1: that's exactly when most would prefer command-line :) [12:15] any suggestions of other programs in ubuntu to make presentations? [12:15] !clone | terry [12:15] terry: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:15] pipepa: PDFs can be used to do presentations [12:15] ok i think im going to try it :S [12:15] terry: or you can use aptoncd it ias in synaptic [12:15] pipeep, http://linuxappfinder.com/office/presentations [12:15] remoteCTRL1: You can do them all at once. Which folders? [12:15] pipepa: of the static variety [12:15] oops, sorry [12:15] pipepa ^^^ [12:15] thanks airtronix [12:16] Pici: Is there anyway of editing my bookmarks icons, at Places? I have different icons for my folders, and on Places it is showing as a normal folder [12:16] which program would you suggest to make the presentations in pdf? [12:16] pipepa http://linuxappfinder.com/office/presentations [12:16] pipepa: do you know latex? [12:16] terry: i am copying the contents of ldap related files for documentation purposes, meaning pma.d etc involved... [12:16] excelent, I dont know it [12:16] pipepa: your other option is to use libreoffice impress and carry around portableapps.com version of libreoffice also [12:16] Strabe: That I'm not sure how to do. [12:16] remoteCTRL1: You can create a ziped archived file and then transfer it. [12:17] jrib well if you frequently need to change folders it is easier to doubleclick than to type...:) [12:17] terry: or try this too http://paste.ubuntu.com/583765/. [12:17] terry: well i actually did not want to include all of etc, and hand picking it brings me back to square one concerning effort... [12:17] pipepa: try latex-beamer as jrib suggested. you can use one of the existing templates. it isn't very difficult to learn. [12:18] excelent, thanks [12:18] will look for it [12:18] remoteCTRL terminal FTW [12:18] LaTex Beamer class is an excellent presentation processor [12:18] pipepa: if you are using ubuntu, i would suggest install kile and latex-beamer packages. that should be enough. [12:18] dnivra: That's interesting. [12:19] terry: Pici: jrib: dnivra: anyways thanks alot, i got what i need now:) [12:19] terry: that is what I usually do. glad it was useful. [12:19] good, where can I find them dnivra? [12:19] terry: but i think it requires you to install dselect before running the commands. dselect used to be installed by default i think. but not any more. [12:19] thanks for all your help guys [12:19] byee [12:19] remoteCTRL1: I don't think a GUI interface would make the process any faster or easier. [12:20] dnivra: or if he doesnt want to install half of kde texmaker which is basically the same as kile but qt based... [12:20] terry: well it does trust me;) [12:20] Scribus is an other alternative === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [12:20] pipepa: it's in the repositories. or you should install texmaker as remoteCTRL1 suggested. i've not used it to no opinions. could be a better choice than installing kde. [12:21] remoteCTRL1: Well, then you could set up an ftp server on one end and use a browser to do it. But that seems a rather clumsy alternative. [12:21] thanks!!! [12:22] could /incompletefailing pingtest.net be because of something ubuntu/linux related, or is it for sure my internet connection [12:22] is there a good alternative to adobe flash player? Because i've many problems with it and it all mypc is slow when i am trying towatch youtube and other related things [12:22] i just created a user on my server for someone to get ssh access, how can i lock them in their home dir ? [12:22] I am not sure I am right here, but....I have a laptop that has wireless and an usb stick to get to (gsm) networks. How can I make my laptop to be an access point for others to share internet (aka android 2.2 as access point sharing its connection)? Any one a how to somewhere? Thanks a lot!

[12:25] thank you all, bye [12:25] v_v: doesn't playvideos, make my pc slow [12:25] هاي [12:25] remoteCTRL1: tar czvf data.tgz dir-1/ dir-1/ dir-3 ; scp data.tgz user@192.168.1.5 #What is easier than that? [12:26] DemoOn, what is it? [12:26] hemza: what is what? [12:26] terry: adding a ":" at the end ;) [12:26] remoteCTRL1: Well, yes, if you have a server on the other machine, but then you have to select all the data you want to transfer. [12:27] DemoOn, glitchy [12:27] hemza: doesn't show youtube videos, ust a black screen [12:27] remoteCTRL1: tar czvf data.tgz dir-1/ dir-1/ dir-3 ; scp data.tgz user@192.168.1.5: #Forgot the colon at end, thanks elFidel [12:27] remoteCTRL1: Or tar czvf data.tgz dir-1/ dir-1/ dir-3 ; scp data.tgz user@192.168.1.5:Documents/ [12:28] terry: do it for 38 files located in 25 different folders, wish you much fun with forgetting nothing;) === administrator is now known as Guest17738 [12:29] DemoOn, noooo [12:29] hello I need help, I need to knwo hwo to set byobu to load on machine startup so it will automatically turn on my servers I have defaulted in byobu, but all the guides I keep finding are for the GUI only! [12:29] remoteCTRL1: I don't see how some browser looking GUI window is going to help you remember all 38 files any better than using ssh in a GUI terminal [12:30] scheuri: test [12:30] sorry [12:30] does anyone eknow hwo to set apps to open at startup without a GUI? I only really need to knwo what file controls startup apps [12:31] cmon therea 1544 users here!

[12:33] hmm I see [12:33] hemza: Are you using Adobie Flashplayer Plugin? [12:33] remoteCTRL1: of course as terry says use what works but if you use a command then you have a list you can check and make sure you didn't forget anything [12:33] neolain: so, if it runs after your login, its fine [12:33] twell how about adding my servers to startup? where is the startup file? === Tumblr is now known as KolakCC [12:33] neolain: I didn't get you.

Shut down at a prescribed time? Or remotely shut down. [12:52] remotely shutdown+ [12:52] hemza: Sorry, it's .mozilla/plugins/ [12:52] Esing: "ssh user@host sudo halt" [12:53] hemza: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [12:53] terry, flash player is installed correctly, but ... [12:53] So I would need Remote access to the computer , with the usual magic package concept of WOL it is _not_ working? [12:53] Esing: no [12:54] terry, ~/.mozilla/plugins/ do not exist [12:54] no it is not working without remote access? [12:54] Esing: ssh user@192.168.1.5 shutdown now [12:54] Esing: things like knockd could helü [12:54] help [12:54] Esing: ssh user@192.168.1.5 halt [12:54] quit [12:54] hemza: THe you will have to create it.

[12:57] tell me how to make a million euro and be more happy [12:57] czardoz: splitted identity ;) [12:57] ahh [12:57] arand, why , i intall it using .deb package ... it had installed correctly [12:57] Thanks [12:58] . [12:58] Currently I used Teamviewer to remoteaccess my laptop and also could shut down the laptop but the problem is that it frequently crashes and I lose control over the mashine. [12:58] so, im getting a blank screen on a ubuntu box. i think it's because the display system is setting the refresh rate too high.. now that simply editing xorg.conf is out of the question, how can i fix this? (i have ssh access to the machine) [12:59] oh well it looks like i need to just copy /home/ to the back up and do a reinstall and choose the other drive for grub sigh [12:59] llutz, terry my worry is that when teamviewer crashed that knockd might not work either [12:59] Esing: what does knockd have to do with other services? [13:00] Esing: if you have a general networking problem, fix it [13:00] hemza: Ah, in that case it will be situated in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ I think, I'm not sure what your original question was... [13:00] llutz_ Imagine teamviewer crashes. Would it not slow down other computer programs? [13:00] * or actually freeze themk [13:00] rebecca: Are you sure /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist? If so, you could just delete it and try again. rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:00] hi there [13:00] Esing: if so, don't use that craü [13:00] crap [13:00] llutz_ Which program would you recommend to remote access my linux with windows 7 instead of teamviewer? [13:00] i have TORCS game and i want to install it , how? [13:01] Esing: ssh [13:01] Esing: putty [13:01] Esing: sry i never used vnc/nx/teamviewer and all that gui-stuff. i don't need it [13:01] so putty on my Linux and VNC on my windows? [13:01] Esing: If you want VNC try tightvnc [13:02] Esing: putty is the ssh client on windows [13:02] Esing: you could use putty + xming (or a different x-server for win) for X-forwarding [13:02] ahh I see [13:02] Esing: putty is for MS Windows [13:02] as for vnc gitzo rocks :) [13:02] !info putty [13:02] putty (source: putty): Telnet/SSH client for X.

So I would use SSH as the remote client of my Linux then [13:03] and Putty+xming or tightVNC on my windows [13:03] so i have the joy of going from 'hey, this is easy to fix' to 'wtf, why would they do that?!' [13:03] Hello, there! could someone explain to me why am I getting a 'bad signature' error message when I try to verify Truecrypt's signature for its latest version? [13:03] I heard the command `sed -i '1d' /etc/passwd` makes ubuntu LTS more secure [13:03] is it true? [13:04] no [13:04] Frots: find somewhere else to play. [13:04] Frots: stop that nonsense [13:04] ?? [13:04] I dont want to test it but I read it on irc [13:04] as for me i am out to sober up for my reinstall (last time i was drunk and installed OS i ended up with a 4 os system with nothing booting and after booting fix didnt even work remotly right lol) have a nice day/night ya all [13:04] just asking [13:05] Frots: that command deletes the first line of /etc/passwd. the root account entry. bad idea. [13:05] hmm ok [13:05] im not that into sed [13:05] but the root account is already disabled isnt it/ [13:05] ? [13:05] llutz_: why so hostile? [13:06] newbie bashing is not something I approve [13:06] Frots: that doesn't mean you'd want to ever remove its entry [13:06] makes sense, thanks LjL [13:06] Frots: the hostility follows from the assumption that you are posting destructive commands in a channel to mislead others for your own amusement. [13:06] assumption is the mother of all fuckups iirc [13:06] Hello [13:07] Frots: then better rephrase your question next time [13:07] Frots: nevertheless, consider refraining from posting commands you don't understand in a forum such as this. [13:07] not very good for the newbie image ubuntu has in my opinion [13:07] :S [13:07] Frots: i guess we'll manage.

[13:07] as far as I can see I am also part of the community [13:07] I have a problem on ubuntu [13:08] and not amused, sorry if I did something wrong [13:08] Frots: find somewhere else to play. [13:08] Esing: use whatever you want. as i already told you, i don't use vnc and such, so i cannot suggest it [13:08] !help [13:08] 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. :-) [13:08] better go to ubuntu offtopic, Frots [13:08] llutz_ ah okay [13:08] :) === ericm_ is now known as ericm [13:08] Esing: _for me_ ssh is all i need [13:08] I just installed on my laptop with a built-in wlan card... I also installed drivers with ndiswrapper [13:08] czardoz: thanks, I didnt know there was another channel, but how do I know if something is not ontopic? [13:08] but I still don't see the card [13:08] what could it be? [13:08] terry which GUI remote controll client would you recommend me for ubuntu? [13:09] Frots, guess [13:09] sipior: please stop, I think you are trolling [13:09] llutz_ :) [13:09] Frots: no, you are trolling and we all know that. now go back on topic. the topic is ubuntu technical support, and only that. [13:09] could anyone try to help me? [13:09] Im now asking in offtopic how I should learn if somethinf is ontopic [13:10] hello. I require qtscript-qt. which package provides it? [13:10] I thought this was ontopic because it regards ubuntu [13:10] Frots: read topic [13:10] llutz_: too long, doesnt fit on my screen [13:10] +troll+ [13:10] My theme seems to work on window borders, but it doesn't work on the gnome panel or the insides of the gnome panel.

I already asked the question up there :) [13:11] llutz_ what if I dont have a local fixed IP adresse? Would I then be not able to remotecontrol my linux? Because I use automatic IP adresse within my router network [13:11] so, anyone know how to manually set the refresh rate? [13:11] mu unebootin bot work [13:12] Esing: check your dns [13:12] hi [13:12] via CLI that is [13:12] Esing: your dns-server should resolve hostnames with dhcp too [13:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10587951 [13:12] rebecca_: xrandr, if you are not using nvidia [13:13] Is there a way to start a program when your computer boots up that is NOT crontab related? [13:13] with root [13:13] privliages [13:13] Jinxed-, yes [13:13] rc.local [13:14] vi /etc/rc.local [13:14] rc.local acts the same way [13:14] llutz_ Perfect. So I could just enter the hostname, in my case: "PHILIPP-PC" into putty and then my dns-server resolves the name with dhcp [13:14] Fuchs: ill take a look at it [13:14] SUID program, and just add it to .xinitrc [13:14] Jinxed: please elaborate [13:14] Esing: You mean vnc? If so. x11vnc for server end and tightvnc for client. [13:14] i AM THE GRAND WIZARD [13:14] Esing: most routers can do so, just check its configuration [13:14] here to cleanse your of your sins [13:15] llutz_ oki [13:15] !ot | wizardken [13:15] wizardken: #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! [13:15] terry My linux should be the server and my windows the client. So I would need to install x11vnc on my ubuntu :) [13:15] jjp: I have a program that segfaults with rc.local crontab crontab -e etc but works fine in terminal after computer boots [13:15] czardoz: what is SUID program [13:16] czardoz: bad idea, keep the number of programs suid-root as low as possible [13:16] Jinxed-: Create a scipt and yes (as Sonne says) use /etc/rc.local if you like. [13:16] Esing: Yes [13:16] Jinxed-, a program that runs with root privilages, but it is NOT recommended [13:16] Jinxed-, for security reasons [13:16] terry: I have tried rc.local to get it to run with rc.local but it still segfaults [13:16] Jinxed-: it's a program that runs with the permissions of the owner of the executable file. [13:17] czardoz: it is from my vendor... if I could get it to run at regular privlages I would love that [13:17] terry Since my ubuntu is _only_ the server would it even matter if I use SSH or x11vnc? [13:17] Esing: and have x11vnc started with the --forever switch [13:17] Esing: That is correct. [13:17] Thanks [13:17] Jinxed-: maybe make a bash script that will wait till it can ping google.com before it run's your application at boot [13:17] Jinxed-, you mean you just want it to run at startup? [13:17] Is SSH actually preinstalled on all Unix systems? [13:17] Esing: Or, correct it wouldn't matter which you use, either will do fine. [13:18] czardoz: correct... it is my mpeg encoder [13:18] !ssh [13:18] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [13:18] Esing: You may not have sshd but ssh is installed by default [13:18] Jinxed-, add it to your ~/.xinitrc [13:18] sacarlson: I have waited 60 seconds which is far longer than it takes my computer with SSD to boot and still doesn't work [13:18] Jinxed: strace a segfaulting situation [13:19] Esing: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [13:19] czardoz: I'm not familar with that how would I do that... that is actually something I haven't tried yet [13:19] sacarlson: my network isn't "online" [13:19] Jinxed-: well ping your router then [13:19] Jinxed-, it is just like any other bash script [13:19] Esing: sudo apt-get install openssh-server x11vnc [13:19] do it all at once === Jinxed- is now known as Jinxed-Win2 [13:20] terry both commands are for x11vnc or openssh-server is necessary too when using SSH [13:21] s [13:21] +is [13:21] Esing: openssh-server is the deamon (sshd) [13:21] ah okay [13:21] ttpd [13:22] Esing: What I gave you was a command to install openssh-server and x11vnc (to install both at once - with one command). === b0ot is now known as Jinxed- [13:22] Esing: sudo apt-get install openssh-server x11vnc [13:22] Fuchs: should i just be able to run xrandr to at least view current config? (not using an nvidia chip) [13:22] rebecca_: definitely [13:23] rebecca_: if you are on a VT, you might need to set the DISPLAY Variable. Keep in mind that this only changes the settings for X11, [13:23] for VTs (Terminals) you would need to set the mode as a grub command line [13:23] Fuchs: ahhhh, yeah, because im on the box via SSH [13:24] rebecca_: then you need to set the DISPLAY variable, and maybe even give the needed access via the xhost command first [13:26] where is the xinitrc file [13:26] in $HOME [13:26] or /etc/X11 [13:27] in home it is .xinitrc [13:27] for each user IIRC [13:27] Fuchs: well, the problem is that the box boots fine, fileserving and remote access are perfect, but on the graphical front, once grub loads up, the most i see on the screen is a frozen cursor on a black background. alt+ctrl+f1 doesn't work.. and i don't see any errors in the Xorg.0.log.. [13:27] Frots, does the one in $HOME execute with root privlages? [13:27] Jinxed-, no [13:27] Jinxed-: no, as user [13:27] rebecca_: you might be interested in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and lspci | grep VGA [13:28] czardoz, how will I be able to run my script with sudo rights then? [13:28] I think rebecca_ 's setup doesnt load the proper input drivers [13:28] so it doesnt see the keyboard and mouse [13:28] rebecca_: is the machine still reachable via network? [13:29] Jinxed-, as I said, SUID programs run with root privilages whenever they are run [13:29] czardoz, I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean [13:29] czardoz: what does the nosuid mount option has for effect on those? [13:29] Frots: yeah, i have SSHed to it fine. it's a server but to get mythtv configured i need a functioning X environment [13:29] Jinxed-, google for step by steap instructions :) [13:29] and I think suid is not possible with shell scripts [13:29] Frots: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 760G [Radeon 3000] [13:30] rebecca_: then the problem probably lies with the input driver [13:30] do you have evdev installed? [13:30] czardoz, holy cow... are you saying I could just do sudo chmod +s /my/program [13:31] Jinxed-: if it is a binary [13:31] and then start my script (which calls that program) with startup applications [13:31] Jinxed: yes [13:31] and I should be set? [13:31] :) [13:31] :0 [13:31] :) [13:31] Jinxed-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:31] Jinxed: or add a suitable entry to /etc/sudoers [13:31] Jinxed-, yes indeed :) [13:31] !evdev [13:32] xserver-xorg-input-evdev - X.Org X server -- evdev input driver [13:32] Frots: if you're referring too: xserver-xorg-input-evdev, then no [13:32] Frots: should i? [13:33] rebecca_: yes, it detects the input devices [13:33] how to permentally fixthe Grub Menu to sy long numberave my boot device example /dev/sdb1 to save as root to boot the os but keeps putting a UUID# a very lonnngggg number if this # UUID is there it will not boot where can I fix this from happening not all the time just some of the time [13:33] or you would have to configure the xorg.conf by hand [13:33] Frots: okay, installing it now === mtlife is now known as mtlife` [13:33] Jinxed-: I think what you mean is chmod +x not +s [13:33] terry: no [13:33] Frots: but.. isn't a GPU an output device?... im confused hehe [13:33] he is trying to set the suid bit [13:33] rebecca_: thats why I was talking about input [13:34] you saw a frozen pointer, which would say the GFX is fine but the mouse isnt [13:34] /join #css [13:34] Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux should i use this to not pass the UUID or and set ROOT=/dev/sdb1 correct? [13:35] hi. how can I install mutt without postfix? i don't use postfix. === robin is now known as Guest58827 [13:35] Frots: Oh, sorry. [13:35] terry: np :) I get what you mean [13:35] tomov: use ssmtp/msmtp/nullmailer instead [13:35] Jinxed-: Disreguard what I said, I saw /my/program and thought you were trying to enable the executable bit on it. [13:36] llutz_: but I don't want postfix to be installed on my system. [13:36] you can remove it I think [13:36] tomov: use ssmtp/msmtp/nullmailer instead mutt depends on at least one MTA [13:36] rebecca: did it work? [13:36] okay [13:36] tomov: apt-get install ssmtp mutt [13:36] UUID bug in GRUB2? how to save the menu of grub / grub2 etc .. after making changes to the grub menu to keep the settings s [13:36] yeah, it works. thanks! === mtlife is now known as mtlife` [13:37] hail ubuntu [13:37] why is mutt depended on an mta? [13:37] Step 1: SUCESSS - I am now able to run my script at the USER level! [13:37] Jinxed-: congrats! [13:37] Jinxed-, if you set the SUID bit, it'll run as root :) [13:37] Frots: because mutt usually invoke a sendmail command to send mail [13:37] jjp: makes sense [13:38] but it cant also use an external mta? [13:38] or does it? [13:38] Frots: well, no. seemed to get a little further this time though. the loading screen was visible this time.. and the login dialog box strobed on the screen a few times briefly.. but now it's some how worse, i don't even see a cursor on the screen hehe [13:38] does any one know how to make a call to cisco IP phone from ekiga [13:38] rebecca: and what does the log outputs? [13:38] aslam: maybe they know in #cisco [13:38] Frots: any. sendmail is often only a command provided by any mta, including postfix [13:39] how do you know all that man [13:39] thanks Frots [13:39] * _UsUrPeR_ tips his hat [13:39] <_UsUrPeR_> good morning all [13:39] #cisco [13:39] how to fix the Grub2 menu from the root=/big long number which is not booting when this UUID # is present needs a fix [13:39] is there any utility to fix font, i want to add . inside a 0 in wqy [13:40] #cisco [13:40] Frots: If rebecca has a [defective] /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it should be deleted.

[13:41] if it is MBR partitions you can simply overwrite the first 512 with /dev/zero [13:41] if it is GPT you need more magic [13:41] _UsUrPeR_: Or delete the data in master boot record?

[13:46] [criipt], is your connection being slowed or interrupted in any way , check the driver debug in your package manager to get the proper name for the debug app and remove it. [13:47] Frots: hmmm, there is not xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [13:47] ok that is goodf [13:47] but yoiu still have no mouse movement or ctrl+alt+f1 ?

[13:48] wait [13:48] rebecca: /home/rebecca/xorg.conf.new doesn't matter. [13:48] Jinxed-: you didnt set suid on sh did you/? [13:48] dont do that [13:48] Frots, negitive... just on the program the script calls [13:49] rebecca: What is your video card?

I found it dumping stuff to dmesg,. [13:50] <[criipt]> Want to stop that ! [13:50] I dont have a radeon card so I dont know the latest stuff [13:50] but I think you need the closed source driver (catalyst) toi use hardware acceleration [13:51] Frots, my script calls the program, and if it shuts down waits 30 seconds and then calls it again etc. So it is just a wrapper on how I want to call it. However the only thing segfaulting was my the actual program binary, which is the ONLY thing I changed the SUID on.

[14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> mdadm --remove /dev/md127 [14:01] rebecca: if you dont have local access, you can edit the grub configuration so it reboots into recovery [14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> is there something I have to do to record partition changes from mdadm after I run them? [14:01] rebecca: Does Ctrl-Alt-F6 not work for you? [14:01] but if you can access it, why would you?

Something's wrong [14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> mdadm -D /dev/md127 shows it still exists [14:03] Frots: then i went into recoverymode and tried removing the lines from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75custom-scim_init [14:03] Akshay: is menu.lst also empty? [14:03] rebecca: sudo service gdm stop [14:03] Akshay: is grub.cfg in grub2 and anyway you are not supposed to edit that file [14:03] piyushmishra: I dont know anything about scim sorry [14:03] oh sorry grub.cfg [14:03] Frots: its ok thanx for trying [14:03] erUSUL: I was not talking about editting it, just asking if he could post the kernel line [14:03] <_UsUrPeR_> so if I mdadm --remnove /dev/md127 /dev/sda error reported is: mdam: hot remove failed for /dev/sda: Device or resource busy [14:03] Frots: ok [14:03] so dont even open with sudo [14:04] just use cat [14:04] or grep [14:04] whatever [14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior ^^ [14:04] Frots: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:04] _UsUrPeR_: how about stopping the array, if it's running. [14:04] terry: hehe: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [14:04] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: sorry, but what command is that? [14:04] FloodBot1: stfu :) [14:04] erUSUL:grub.cfg contains lot of crap [14:04] _UsUrPeR_: "--stop" (or "-S") [14:04] rebecca@storm:~$ sudo service gdm stop [14:04] stop: Unknown instance: [14:04] llutzI have been trying to get this to work approx 20 hours [14:04] Akshay: just do "grep linux /boot/grub/grub.cfg" Akshay [14:04] Frots: please refrain from using acronyms like "stfu" [14:05] rebecca: yes, that is the way it should be done. [14:05] LjL: cut it now :) [14:05] well more like 10 but still [14:05] Frots: no, you do [14:05] /ignore kthxbye [14:05] rebecca: sudo service gdm start [14:05] !stfu > Frots (Frots, see the private message from ubottu) [14:05] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: interesting now...

[14:05] !guidelines >LjL [14:05] LjL, please see my private message [14:05] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: after stopping the array (mdadm --stop /dev/md127) all evidence of it existing has disappeared [14:06] is there a way to have an animation when maximizing/restoring windows? [14:06] _UsUrPeR_: yep. [14:06] Jinxed-: check what those rules do, check if used groups exist, if you'r member of those groups and that the permissions are set correctly (0660 most likely) [14:06] <_UsUrPeR_> mdadm -D /dev/sda shows "does not appear to be a valid MD device" [14:06] !botabuse > Frots (Frots, see the private message from ubottu) [14:06] Frots:What part of output you want [14:06] rebecca: So, gdm was not started in the first place?

[14:06] _UsUrPeR_: usually one builds an md out of partitions, not whole disks [14:06] psusi: he is aware of his error :-) [14:07] Jinxed-: don't forget to reload udev after changes to those rules-file [14:07] Frots: You can see the ouput here [14:07] http://pastie.org/1699758 [14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> psusi: yeah, it was a typo. hit enter before entering partition number :) [14:07] llutz how do you do that [14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: ok, so I entered mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda [14:07] Akshay: what for video device do you have? [14:07] <_UsUrPeR_> no results [14:07] _UsUrPeR_: also you want -E not -D [14:07] _UsUrPeR_: good. [14:07] Jinxed-: do what? [14:07] terry: restarting X as you instructed _very_ briefly flashes the login prompt about 5 times then the monitor goes back to displaying 'no signal'. [14:08] I have Intel 82865G [14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> entered it again, "unrecognized md componend device - /dev/sda [14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> so that looks like it worked...? [14:08] _UsUrPeR_: -D is for looking at /dev/mdX, -E is for examining an underlying disk [14:08] terry: it's mythbuntu 10.10 [14:08] _UsUrPeR_: correct [14:08] hi ! what is the command to configure the clock?

I hope this did the trick [14:08] Akshay: did you enable kernel mode setting? [14:08] G'day from New Zealand everyone. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but no Desktop when i login?

[14:08] Ubuntu bug 142663 in Zope 2 "Zope 2.7b1 & Xron" [Medium,Invalid] [14:08] <_UsUrPeR_> that was infuriating :P [14:09] Frots:I guess No [14:09] Akshay: well then I dont know, maybe LjL knows [14:09] rebecca: Oh, ok. Well, You need to open the /etc/default/grub file and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text" and then run update-grub afterwards to update [14:10] terry: dont you havew to remove splash in this case? [14:10] rebecca: When you reboot, you should be in text mode. [14:10] Please excuse my ignorance, but can someone please explain that ubottu message? [14:10] Frots: don't highlight people randomly please [14:10] LjL: It was not random at all :) [14:11] Frots: ok, don't highlight people without having a specific reason why they might know something you're asking them [14:11] terry: okay, then what? [14:11] hi ! what is the command to configure the clock(to launch the graphical app) ? [14:11] LjL: I had specific reason, you are the guy who knows a lot here [14:11] sorry if you dont [14:11] Frots: I dono for sure. Maybe. But I think either one will work. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet text" [14:11] ok [14:12] LjL:Having problems with screen resolution on Intel 82865G [14:12] rebecca: When you reboot, you should be in text mode and you can work on it locally. Change back when you want to boot GUI mode. [14:12] Akshay: what sort of problems [14:13] he cant set it correctly [14:13] I thought maybe kernelmodesetting problem [14:13] rebecca: and don?t forget to run update-grub afterwards to update. [14:13] terry: so that is what update-grub is foer [14:13] did know [14:13] terry: sorry. but i don't understand why this will help me.. as my objective here is to use the GUI on this box [14:13] Frots: yep, re-writes grub to mbr [14:14] hi ! what is the command to configure the clock(to launch the graphical app) ?

Now that I am attempting to boot with the degraded RAID drive and the drive I just zeroed out, there does not appear to be a flashing curser [14:14] <_UsUrPeR_> err there IS a flashing curser. nothing more [14:14] Frazer: dont repeat yourself :) [14:14] LjL:In windows I had 1152x864 [14:14] <_UsUrPeR_> it's not telling me about the degraded array or anything [14:14] <_UsUrPeR_> it's just... sitting there [14:14] so answer Frots [14:14] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior, I am sure if I plug the other hard drive in, it will come up just fine. [14:14] rebecca: It will only help you if you want to work on it locally. If you are ok working on it via ssh, then don't do it. [14:14] Akshay: ok, i assume you've already tried just going to the Display preferences and changing it? [14:14] Frazer: no politeness anymore? who raised you ^^ [14:15] LjL:Yes, can't see 1152x864 [14:15] terry: also with x forwarding? [14:15] rebecca: But mythtv is a server install in the first place, right? Is it supposed to even have a GUI? [14:15] Frots: just close ur mouth plz, thx [14:15] Akshay: what does xrandr output? [14:15] llutz czardoz Frots sooo close yet so far... ubuntu has gone crazy on me... it is randomly messing with me.

[14:15] Ok LjL [14:16] Frazer: dont act so stupid :) [14:16] Frazer: is time-admin the program you are looking for? [14:16] terry: and, the install of mythbuntu i selected included a GUI. definitely [14:16] oh sorry he alreadt said that [14:16] Frots:What do I type in terminal [14:16] rebecca: I still thinjk its a driver issue [14:16] llutz czardoz Frots.

[14:17] rebecca: Well, something is defecient, not sure what it is.... If you have some other display adapter you could change it out and see what happens. [14:17] maybe a fresh install is a good idea Jinxed- [14:17] assuming it's a driver issue can i just force it to use a generic driver? [14:17] terry: don't have another adapter :/ [14:17] rebecca: you did that. [14:17] Frots, It REALLY pains me. but I must agree with you [14:17] :( [14:17] rebecca: yes, you can set it to vesa [14:17] time to get my boot ready [14:17] 10.04 FTW [14:17] Jinxed-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:17] rebecca: did it work for you? [14:17] Jinxed-: messing up a system always is the first result of running stuff as root for no need :) [14:18] Jinxed-: goodluck [14:18] Frots:Here it is http://pastie.org/1699799 [14:18] llutz I had a feeling you were going to say that:/ [14:18] terry: no, it made it worse [14:18] rebecca: I'm assuming this is a Video Capture Card, Right? [14:18] Akshay: and you want 1360x768 ? [14:18] Jinxed-: just 16 yrs of experience [14:18] terry: the video output is from an onboard GPU chip. [14:18] Akshay: just do "xrandr -output VGA1 -mode 1360x768" (without the quotes) [14:18] 16 years :O [14:18] No 1152x864 [14:18] > G'day - (AGAIN) - from New Zealand everyone.

[14:20] Jinxed-: but seriously, use those udev-rules from the vendor, check them and put them into /etc/udev/rules.d , "run sudo service udev reload" and check the result [14:20] terry: it has a capture card in it, as an addon card.

[14:33] whats this mean and how do i fix it? http://pastebin.com/G1GfZ5tq [14:34] Da|Mummy, use chkdsk under windows [14:34] I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my 500Gb external using a Linux live CD. How do I make it boot? [14:34] axwell999: ##linux might help [14:34] im not running windows.... [14:34] terry: no joy sorry [14:34] Frots:xrandr: cannot find mode 1152x864 [14:35] Da|Mummy, yes, but you are trying to mount a NTFS partition [14:35] terry: same behaviour.. the loading screen shows, then the login prompt flashes quickly 5 times.. then nothing.. no signal [14:35] Da|Mummy: It suggests run chkdsk /f on Windows and reboot twice. [14:35] no, problem is, im trying to mount a drive that i just unplugged while it was writing to it [14:35] join #trac [14:36] why would ubuntu tell me to do anything in windows? [14:36] hey [14:36] this is kind of a flaw here... [14:36] Da|Mummy: That was a bad idea..... [14:36] Da|Mummy, yes, sure [14:36] Da|Mummy, because you're using a windows filesystem [14:36] you need windows [14:36] it wasnt meant to happen [14:36] Da|Mummy, because you're using a windows filesystem [14:36] u need to use windows chkdsk [14:36] or use ext3 on your drive [14:36] I want to configure gdm and a tutorial refers to the file "Default" but in my gdm folder there is no default. Do they maybe mean custom.conf? Thats their insturction: sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default [14:37] i have a fan plugged into the same surge that the hdd is in, and when i turned off the fan, the drive shut down, but i was using it atm [14:37] Da|Mummy: It is giving you the best advise possible. NTFS is a MS Windows filesystem and MS Windows has tools to manage and repair it. You are liable to get it in worse shape by trying to use a Linux tool on it. [14:37] ok thanks i guess [14:38] terry: is there a safe mode specific for conservative graphics settings. i suspect it's trying to use a refresh rate or resolution not supported by the monitor [14:38] hi, im using Jaunty curretnly and i wanted to install texlive-extra [14:38] Da|Mummy: And EVERYONE: It is best to unmount any storage device before unpluggin it. Bad things happen when you fail to umount first. [14:38] how can i do that [14:38] yes i know [14:39] but as i said, i didnt really unplug it, i turned off my fan, which is connected to same surge as external hdd [14:39] llutz czardoz Frots. While I was downloading a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 I was able to get the thing to work! I have the program start up with screen with startup applications. I'm a little worried about how everything went all weird there for awhile.. but it seems to work (for now) [14:39] ahhhh [14:39] I dont have GDM ! [14:39] and that killed the power to hdd for a second [14:39] because iam on Lubuntu 1010 [14:39] if it happened accidentally, you need to use chkdsk anyways [14:39] Jinxed-, good for you :o) [14:39] Jinxed-: still suid-root? [14:39] hi, im using Jaunty curretnly and i wanted to install texlive-latex-extra, what command shoul i use [14:40] no, what i need to do is connect this damn fan elsewhere...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:43] behel1t: I think its 29th April [14:43] behel1t: google for "ubuntu 11.04 release schedule" and find out. [14:43] DJones thanks, SwedeMike thanks for attitude [14:43] terry, idk, it's not a root partition, so i'll try just sudo mount it [14:43] !natty | behel1t This gives a better date [14:43] Hi [14:43] behel1t This gives a better date: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

Every other RAId partition I was able to add [14:47] because it's a mounted dir [14:47] i can't just delete it [14:47] _UsUrPeR_: you would use -E for the disk device, not the raid device. [14:48] behel1t: my suggestion helps you in the long run, but since you see this as "attitude", I guess you don't work that way. Better to get the information without trying and learning nothing? [14:48] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: hm. ok. Still, I can't add the disk device to the swap RAID partition. Is there a different method? [14:48] fdgpol, check /usr/bin/ === chou is now known as Guest57442 [14:48] can someone remote into me to take care of my low disk space. i installed ubuntu on the dell restore partition. i want to delete the restore data, and expand the partition to the full drive. can someone remote into me to help please...

[14:52] so it will work even with freedos if you wish [14:52] YouArePwned: what about native install? wipe off everything and put ubuntu? [14:52] _UsUrPeR_: also, pastebinning --detail for /dev/md0 would be useful. [14:52] adalee: gparted (from liveCD) [14:53] YouArePwned: because bootcamp didnt work too well when i tried, it made me use ntfs -. [14:53] awesometown, will work, but you need tutorials to press something during boot [14:53] ahh gparted [14:53] <_UsUrPeR_> sipior: the results of mdadm -Q /dev/sda1 -- "/dev/sda1: is not an md array [14:53] _UsUrPeR_: and -Q /dev/md0? [14:53] <_UsUrPeR_> mdadm -Q /dev/md0 -- "/dev/md0: is an md device which is not active" [14:53] awesometown, it said you to use ntfs, good. then just run gparted and modify it to ext4 [14:53] YouArePwned: so i am pwned because i believed that guy who said it would brick it?

[14:58] YouArePwned: use rsync -R [14:58] terry: the distro? because as far as i know that one wasnt for macs lol [14:59] ario: laptop or desktop? [14:59] YouArePwned: cp /dir1 /dir2 will put dir1/ inside /dir2 [14:59] firefox4 appmenu doesn't work... [14:59] im gonna whack ubuntu... that seems easier to reallocate the drive and partitions [14:59] terry, yeah, that's why i need something different === pothos_ is now known as pothos [14:59] YouArePwned: or mv -r , as cp doesn't support subdirs [14:59] DasEi: i may be wrong but wasnt there a cp -r? [15:00] DasEi, basically, i need to copy a folder, into a mounted folder [15:00] just thought of it lol [15:00] what does the -r do [15:00] YouArePwned: what exactly do you want to do? Put the contents of dir1/ inside dir2/ ? [15:00] awesometown: "cp -a" works a treat. [15:00] awesometown: I study man [15:00] no [15:00] YouArePwned: Then what?

[15:04] hello everybody [15:04] Gnea, no [15:04] YouArePwned: do you know how to find out the difference? [15:04] Gnea: is there any ? [15:04] can you help me? [15:04] Gnea, there is no difference, i just checked [15:04] Gnea, cp --help [15:04] Gnea: arent both Recursive? [15:05] i need help [15:05] henningjansen_: fire! [15:05] YouArePwned: that's rather miniscule, have you read the manpage? [15:05] -R, -r, --recursive = copy directories recursively [15:05] Gnea: I think they are the same, right?

[15:06] Gnea, seems like [15:06] Gnea: Ok, Very good. [15:06] they were all 'root' anyways [15:06] this picture have licence, or [15:07] YouArePwned: aah, how about the read/write/executable bits? [15:07] Gnea, let me check [15:07] hey , how can i do alias that once ill write "his" it will do history | grep $1 ? [15:07] Gnea, yes, chmod settings are preserved too [15:07] SwedeMike i don't need to be trained by you how to use google. i use google all the time. this particular time I asked in here and someone was kind enough to answer. thanks for your condescending spam though, there's not enough of that on the internet amirite [15:08] YouArePwned: Gnea I think by default, cp will set permissions of the user that is issuing the command. If done via sudo it will be root, if done by user, it will be user. [15:08] henningjansen_: ubuntu one? [15:08] YouArePwned: okay, so you didn't have any symbolic links to copy over [15:08] terry, yes, but the thing is, GRUB2 reads root files anyway [15:08] Gnea, i did [15:08] i copied the whole filesystem [15:08] YouArePwned: Right. [15:08] to boot from GRUB2 [15:08] scarleo: yearh [15:08] YouArePwned: I see, have you checked the filesizes on those links? did it preserve them? [15:09] YouArePwned: or did it copy the original files over? [15:09] YouArePwned: What were you actually doing? [15:09] Gnea, yeah [15:09] Gnea, so lib64 is a link to lib [15:09] and they both are the same [15:09] Gnea, i want to extract Xen livecd to a real partition [15:10] Gnea, i accompilshed the task to boot a multikernel, now i'm extracting squashfs [15:10] YouArePwned: gotcha, there's a way to test [15:10] i searching for a detailed ubuntu manunal the explains the entire system configuration, like division of lib to lib-dev lib-common, etc, where can i find one ? [15:10] YouArePwned: You might have needed -ar [15:10] can anyone tell me if a persistent USB-install would be faster than a VirtualBox install, after booting? [15:10] terry, when cp'ing? [15:10] YouArePwned: the reason I mention it is because cp -r doesn't copy symbolic links, it copies the original source and puts it in place of the new location [15:11] can i restart gnome in Ubuntu without rebooting the computer ? [15:11] Gnea, yeah, but the strange thing is, symbolic links do work [15:11] jhattara, yeah [15:11] Gnea: Yes, in that case you would want to use the -a option as well as -r [15:11] YouArePwned: are you familiar with the du command? [15:11] Gnea, no [15:11] terry: I would use -a in place of -r, since -a includes -r automagically [15:11] YouArePwned: Gnea May be that -a is no longer needed. [15:12] wait [15:12] nono [15:12] terry: are you sure? [15:12] symbolic links link to /lib [15:12] Gnea: Oh... I guess I got that backwards. [15:12] not /XEN/lib [15:12] hmm [15:12] terry: okay [15:12] YouArePwned: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:12] terry, it links to /lib, not /media/XEN/lib [15:12] jhattara: you can do ctrl + alt + backspace to restart x [15:13] terry, so i need to format and copy again [15:13] Gnea: YouArePwned I still use -ar just to be sure. [15:13] hi. Flash is performing slow when the movie is played windowed (inside browser), but it has good performance when on full screen. [15:13] scarleo, no more starting from 9.10 [15:13] YouArePwned: think about that [15:13] not sure where to start troubleshooting [15:13] terry, yes, i will use -ar [15:13] YouArePwned: Really? Sorry then [15:13] terry, i will do from scratch [15:13] YouArePwned: you should just need to use -a [15:13] YouArePwned: man cp <-- you'll see [15:13] ok [15:13] does anyone here have experience with a persisent usb ubuntu install?

I was thinking like the "You need to restart" bubble after upgrading the kernel...

On windows I can install SB700 Chipset drvier to solve it, but what can I do on linux? [15:15] YouArePwned: oh yeah, -a plays just fine with grub2 [15:15] Gnea, but i'm formatting the partition /dev/sda5 [15:15] Gnea, in disk utility [15:15] Gnea, do i need to uncheck this? [15:15] YouArePwned: I understand [15:15] Gnea: YOu are correct a = dR --preserve=all [15:15] ok, i'm not taking ownership of FS?

On windows I can install SB700 Chipset drvier to solve it, but what can I do on linux?

[16:01] !away > randomuser [16:01] randomuser, please see my private message [16:01] knoxy: from what i gather b110i is a renamed ich10 from intel... not trully hardware raid. it looks like linux support is lacking an many use linux software raid instead [16:01] damn connection [16:02] hey people [16:02] llutz_ ^^ [16:02] jrib, yes, I am using sudo. Oh ! it reads keys from the root config ! [16:02] @medfly that or downgrade and reupdate. Those drives are supported [16:02] jrib, ironically, i set my away message as suggested [16:02] randomuser: tell your client not to announce it publicly please [16:02] MindSpark, the howto you linked to doesn't mention automounting via fstab, does it? [16:02] MindSpark: yes, but I think the page you linked provides syntax: sshfs#$USER@far:/projects /home/$USER/far_projects fuse defaults,idmap=user 0 0 [16:03] erUSUL: B110i is a onboard raid controller.. [16:03] loevborg, not automounting, just adding to fstab [16:03] how do i create a multi session dvd-r ? [16:03] jrib, i'm mostly here for entertainment, i can just leave. [16:03] jrib, the syntax works, but I think it's due to sudo [16:03] MindSpark, why put it in fstab if you don't want to have it mounted automatically? [16:03] erUSUL: you know how to use the b110i raid in ubuntu? [16:03] MindSpark: that's for fstab [16:03] j3d3: ok... thanks [16:03] loevborg, I do want it to be mounted automatically [16:04] can i ask a question please? [16:04] is there a way to have screen start multiple programs, in detached mode? [16:04] Don't ask if you can ask, just ask [16:04] or even add another program to an existing detached screen? [16:04] but I wouldn't know how to force fuse to read the keys from my home dir instead of roots [16:04] Hi anyone got any experience with skype webcams!

[17:12] atoi|laptop: that command actually fetches it from changelogs.ubuntu.com . packages.ubuntu.com may be a saner interface than directly accessing changelogs.ubuntu.com however [17:12] Ah, OK. [17:12] well [17:12] jbwiv_, neither of my machines have bluetooth, I connect the headphone directly to my sound card [17:12] I found out that it works when I start x11vnc manually but why is autostart not working?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [17:22] Mathuin, go for 64 [17:22] DynamicFail: try mounting it, you know whats its sda/sdb number? [17:22] * tripelb is a seeker like you DynamicFail - nothing I say is true, all is speculation and trial. [17:22] Abhijit, it seems like old age Gnome [17:22] Abhijit: I only ask because the download page recommends 32-bit. I'll take 64, thanks! [17:23] abhijeet, yeah [17:23] thanks Abhijit, will reboot and see if it worked. [17:23] Mathuin, that page is not updated. dont listen to that page. go for 64 [17:23] RussellAlan, hmm [17:23] DynamicFail, http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tech_support_cheat_sheet.png lol [17:24] Dio_Scannato, how can you mount it if you don't see it in disk utility [17:24] DynamicFail: good point , was worth trying mount tho [17:24] What's the essential difference between server and desktop editions? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [17:25] Mathuin: that desktop is to access the internet services, server is to give internet services, very basic and incorrect explanation but i hope it helps [17:25] Mathuin: server doesn't run a graphical interface by default [17:25] Mathuin: Everything in the server edition is available in the desktop edition.

[17:25] hi there, I'm trying to install oracle-xe on AMD64 ubuntu server, I added this to package sources "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" but I get this error message as soon as I try to run apt-get upgrade: W: Failed to fetch http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [17:25] 1server [17:25] Dio_Scannato: no, that's a pretty decent explanation, and dryicebomb's addition is all I really needed. [17:25] Mathuin: also, you could turn dekstop in server and vice-versa [17:25] any ideas on how to accomplish this? [17:25] dajhorn: this is a headless box, I don't want to install X and friends unless I have to. [17:25] !server [17:25] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [17:26] hi! i daownloaded firefox 4 on form there website but how do i install it under ubuntu 10.10? its just a folder with a bunch of files dont really know how to update my current FF 3.6->4.0 thank you [17:26] mello: lookup the firefox ppa [17:26] mello, please read the READ ME file inside that folder [17:27] bcessa: Oracle does not publish 64-bit binaries there. [17:27] mello: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [17:27] Mathuin, the server edition is mainly for server services, like web server, file server, etc. -- it only has the minimal software to act as a server -- it has no GUI, the desktop edition has a desktop manager with GUI, although you can use the desktop version as a server it would be less secure because of all the extra packages you need to maintain [17:27] dajhorn: ok, so I'm guessing I've to install it manually right? [17:27] mello: i think it would be better to follow Abhijit's instructions though, supposed to explain you how to do everything on your own [17:27] bcessa: You'll need to force it. [17:28] don't know how, I'll google it :o [17:28] bcessa: dpkg --install --force-architecture MyPackage.deb [17:28] Dio_Scannato: thank u, well the readme file didnt contai anything helpful for me just a link to a page a have spent the last 30min to find some help [17:28] bcessa: Forcing packages can break your system. Run the Oracle stuff on 32-bits if you can. [17:29] oh mello sorry you are talking about firefox!!!! :-D its very simple! just go to terminal cd to the firefox directory and chmod +x ./firefox and then just do ./firefox [17:29] can't really, the server is AMD64, but thnx for the advice, will keep it in mind :) [17:29] mello: the readme Abhijit told you to read though is supposed to have (in most cases) instructions usefull in any case, infos about compiling packaging and so on but if you want it quick and dirty go on lol [17:29] Hello..

Alternatively, if you just want to view it, you could use zless (which I think is also installed by default). [18:10] pici areon you talking about the gui or is this somethings thats cmdline based [18:10] i prefer 7z.. saves time for this kind of thing [18:10] b1lly: these are all command line things.

[18:32] 10.10 maverick [18:32] JTS000ID: it could be a gnome thing [18:32] Salih87: click on audio applet, audio preferences , applications [18:32] Salih87: pulse has had that for ages [18:32] I just want to know where the post install scripts are stored on a half installed package, to edit it, and be done with this [18:33] ruan: yes that's a good point..research concluded that it's a gnome thing [18:33] Lars_G : sudo dpkg --configure nvidia-kernel-common [18:33] JTS000ID: gnome-vfs.applications - application registry! [18:33] ruan: but i have to be as generic as possible..cuz the app could go on fedora boxes or other linux distributions [18:33] zvacet: doesn't work [18:33] same error [18:34] every time [18:34] Larsg: sudo find / -iname "*.postrm" [18:34] İn application tab there is just alsa plugin [18:34] Lars_G: sorry then [18:34] JTS000ID: check /usr/share/application-registry/ [18:34] ActionParsnip: thaks, that will find it.

Firefox is aware of the apt:// protocol, so either it was compiled with support for this, it is read from somewhere, or it is defined in a "defaults" configuration file === maelstrom is now known as Guest26870 [18:37] ActionParsnip: Btw about paid apps there are many many many in many areas [18:37] Jemt: /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default? [18:37] Seppoz: edit ~/.bashrc and the last if statement will probably be commented out [18:38] Games, wine versions, developer tools, systems [18:38] Jemt: not really sure though [18:38] let me see [18:38] ruan: Thanks, but that's for a specific user. I need to find the "template" configuration used when a new user is created :) [18:38] Lars_G: i'm well aware. I've used Linux based OSes for many moons [18:39] Hello. I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 running 10.04 Lucid. This thing keeps getting ridiculously hot. What do? [18:39] http://pastebin.com/pBQQ5RJm [18:39] Jemt: it is not a firefox setting [18:39] thats now it looks ActionParsnip [18:39] oh, the bashrc [18:39] sec [18:39] Jemt: it is a customiztion that Ubuntu does [18:39] kbrosnan: Sure it is. Check about:config - Firefox pre-approves the apt:// protocol, so the user is never ask what application to use with this protocol [18:40] Jemt: possibly they register with gonme http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#All_Firefox_versions [18:40] Jemt: trust me it is a Ubuntu customization [18:40] Jemt: if you look at your firefox extensions, you'll see an ubuntu-related extension. I think that's where the apt:// support comes from. The extension is just installed in some system-wide firefox folder [18:40] kbrosnan: Yes, that's how I registered my own protocol. But Firefox asks the user what application to use the first time the protocol is used [18:41] jrib: Okay, interesting. I'll look into that. Thank you :) [18:41] !info xul-ext-ubufox | Jemt, its description doesn't list the apt:// protocol though [18:41] Jemt,: xul-ext-ubufox (source: ubufox): Ubuntu-specific configuration defaults and apt support for Firefox.

Thank you for your advice :) [18:43] help, rather :) [18:43] anyone knows of a good aplication to copy music from the computer to an android phone?i mean,one that will organise the songs by artists and such [18:43] i'm using clementine but the sync stoped working [18:43] ZeMane: Install file expert on the android phone [18:43] How can I make a bootable usb from a dmg file? I would know how to do this on Mac DiskUtility, but not sure how this is possible in ubuntu [18:44] ZeMane: And just put your mp3s in the music dir. [18:44] ZeMane: i transfer with nautilus but my files are pre-organized [18:45] ZeMane: Fire up file expert and turn on webserver and ftp server and you have to options and you can upload files to any directory on the phone [18:45] /msg NickServ identify `12qaz`12 [18:45] LOL [18:46] *two not to [18:46] terry: i'll check that one,thanks [18:46] ZeMane: Yea, it's a breeze. [18:47] ZeMane: If you have wifi, just tell it to connect to your wifi (you probably already do that), and then just go to the IP address it gives you. file expert is a free app. === chuck_ is now known as TheChuckster [18:48] terry: now THAT's a feature i wanna see ,i'm installing the thing now,hell yeah [18:49] ter0u: i suggest you change your password and in future identify in the lobby to avoid broadcasting like that [18:49] ZeMane: That way you can share files with any computer you want, long as there is wifi network to connect to. [18:50] terry: nice, i personally use andftp and upload mine to a private ftp xd [18:50] hm.. is there a way i can transfer files over my wifi then? [18:50] ruan: dropbox i think would do [18:50] Terry: sounds unsecure if you auto connect to open networks and people start sniffing at your phone [18:50] littlebearz: would that work with windows as well? [18:50] littlebearz: Yea, I don't know about andftp but file expert works like a charm. [18:51] I copied my firefox profile from Kubuntu, and now it looks pretty strange on ubuntu. How can I get it back to normal? [18:51] ActionParsnip: You only turn it on when you want. [18:51] ruan: dropbox is started for windows in the beginning, but it's not open sourced I think [18:51] Guys, any help with how to restore a dmg to a usb drive? [18:51] ruan: so if you want open sourced, get filezilla server for ftp and use any ftp client in your mobile device connect to local [18:51] ok [18:52] myradlife: you mean a Mac OS dmg? [18:52] hi. i have ubuntu with gnome and kubuntu installed on the same machine. i want to get rid of kubuntu but i cannot find anything in the package manager. [18:52] hola [18:52] what speed will it transfer at? [18:52] myradlife: that depends on how destroyed it is? try to see if yoan mount it? [18:52] ActionParsnip: Obviously you would't just leave it running all the time. [18:52] can someone help me? [18:52] Terry: andftp can connect to sftp if you run an openssh server [18:52] ruan: if it's wifi, it's around 200Kb/s locally and depending on your ISP for internet, it might be around 20kb/s internet with 2G [18:53] i had 600 kB/s locally, my ISP shares files [18:53] hmm. i wonder if they still give that [18:54] ruan: um. my own android 2.1 goes 1.3Mbps on local traffic, but i've only seen it couple times [18:54] hello [18:54] sadly my isp only shares files for windows :/ [18:54] they used to have ubuntu isos on their servers [18:55] khomfy: Here's how it works: You ask a question. Someone that knows something about your issue will answer. [18:55] sacarlson: i removed that key, now after relogin, git poped up and asking for password [18:55] vanguard, littlebearz I have a dmg image and I want to make that image on a usb disk. Yes it's a mac image. I am reinstalling my Mac, but I only have access to my ubuntu computer to do this. [18:55] how can i uninstall kubuntu ? [18:56] hello guys, I don't understand why ubuntu logout without my authorization, do you know why ? [18:56] lbdremy: either security reason for screen lock etc [18:56] !kubuntu > khomfy [18:56] khomfy, please see my private message === ia9371 is now known as ai9371 [18:56] lbdremy: when does it logout? [18:57] khomfy: in what way? as in, you want to stop using *buntu at all and go back to windows/osx? then reinstall the OS you want. or do you mean just uninstall all the kde packages on an otherwise ubuntu system? [18:57] no === ai9371 is now known as py9371 [18:57] !kde | khomfy [18:57] khomfy: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

Cheers [18:57] !puregrnome | khomfy [18:57] #premiere [18:57] !puregnome | khomfy [18:57] khomfy: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [18:57] khomfy: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop ?

[18:58] lbdremy: does it lock the screen? [18:58] ukubuntu: could try minimal install with icewm or lubuntu [18:59] khomfy: Needs to go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome and see what it says. [18:59] littlebearz, see my last msg? sorry to pester! [18:59] ukubuntu: expert install, then only install the soft you need [18:59] I've been trying out e17 on my netbook. I'm surprised how fast it is, given that it's enlightenment ;-) [19:00] nope [19:00] Thanks DasEi, I guess taht can be done from just a usb stick and lan? [19:00] it says that kubuntu was not found and therefore not removed [19:00] myradlife: I'm sorry xd? i'm on a school computer so don't have the log file [19:00] ukubuntu: no, can do from all kinds, use alternate or (see:) [19:00] !minimal [19:00] 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 [19:00] any wireless experts here? [19:01] littlebearz, I have a dmg image and I want to make that image on a usb disk. Yes it's a mac image. I am reinstalling my Mac, but I only have access to my ubuntu computer to do this. [19:01] I have a new USB wifi adaptor, and lubuntu will not detect it [19:01] many thanks DasEi I will try it out, many many thanks [19:01] ukubuntu: you choose to the beginning which mode you want to install, there choose minimal with no soft, so just get a commandline in first hands, tips : [19:01] regeya: It is probably something like this: Gnome is faster than KDE. enlightnement is faster than gnome. xfce is faster than enlightenment. fluxbox is faster than xfce etc.etc.etc. [19:01] it is a new ralink card I think at least the internal parts [19:01] !low memory [19:01] does anyone know why ubuntu wont detect me external monitor? I have a laptop with HDMI output-> utilizes a HDMI to DVI converter cable that connects into the DVI port of my monitor [19:02] hello, someone with an amd processor, could tell me what's the value of: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency ? [19:02] myradlife: um. I don't have a mac, so not sure how the image file could handle IO error, but I would say don't try to reinstall since it's damaged [19:02] myradlife: if it's under warantee then go to apple [19:02] terry: I think that's one of those "ymmv" things. XFCE used to be faster for me, but nowadays...meh. [19:02] Is there a way how one can set the main screen (the one displaying the menu bar) in Administrator->Monitors when using dual head? [19:02] myradlife: or else ask ppl here for mac support :( [19:02] Holden, if no one here knows switch to the #radeon channel [19:02] Holden, nevermind [19:03] confusing amd with ati [19:03] is it possible to forward X11 over two ssh sessions? [19:03] littlebearz, nothing is damaged. I have to reinstall OSX on my harddrive, and I'm just trying to get the install image (which is .dmg) onto a usb stick (mounted as a bootable drive).

[19:03] hehe [19:03] we are in agreement terry [19:03] Holden: amd sempron 140 [19:04] Thank you DasEi ...work to do : ) [19:04] ruan, hmm, ok. i have an old sempron but I get 107000... quite bigger [19:04] ukubuntu: ask if needed [19:05] Many thanks [19:05] hi [19:06] Howdy, just installed shorewall on my ubuntu 10.10 w/ the doco. where to invoke shorewall. looked in applications and system and nothing. is this command-line only? [19:06] How can I open a db4 file? I need to edit what's inside. [19:06] someone can tell me if there are some optimizations that I can do to bind9 in ubuntu 10.04? [19:06] I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ? [19:06] I'm trying to install a package that says it depends of one other, but when I try to install tha later it says it depends on the former. what can I do? [19:06] regeya: Some differences are small... kde and gnome are neck and neck almost. over the years it's been back and forth which is faster and sometimes hard to tell... you can say the same of others as you pare them up. [19:07] rypervenche: what sort of file is it? [19:07] NCS_One: what happens if you try to install both at once? [19:07] ActionParsnip: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) [19:08] ruan: I downloaded the deb packages, how do I install both at once? [19:08] I don't understand why sometimes my ubuntu logout to my session without my authorization. Any ideas ? [19:08] cd to location// sudo dpkg -i *.deb [19:09] very true terry. it's also weird how they sometimes switch main focus with each other. kde used to be the one that was all about functionality, and gnome was focused on being as flexible as possible.

So I fiddled around with grub and reinstalled it a couple of time, and now I get a grub prompt when I boot, but no OS options. So, knowing my kernel name, I tried booting up Ubuntu from grub with 'root', 'kernel', and 'initrd' It got pretty far, but then stopped at initramfs, and I din't know what to do. How can I get grub working again, or how can [20:24] I get into my Ubuntu system? I'm on a live CD. [20:24] dbugger: lspci should say more [20:25] i just end up using keybaord shortcuts etc [20:25] but the mouse is completely frozen [20:25] i can move ti around [20:25] After a reboot I get a dozen or so pages that open and then minimize again very dquickly so I know that there is a lot of crap hidden on the desktop or behind it [20:25] so it is only a problem of a mouse ?

[20:27] dbugger: I'd like to help but as I said, audio hardware is not my speciality [20:27] kowboits: uhm, and what happens? as it what is wrong, and what folder are you sharing and where is it [20:27] benzap: sounds like a typical solution from "IT Crowd" :) (hope you follow) [20:27] Ok, obviously a little humour is not how they roll here... so I'll try the usual boring way... [20:28] Who can help me with php? [20:28] dbugger: humor is not the problem, but this place gets chaotic easily so people are just trying to be practical and help as much as they can [20:28] Hey, my speakers dont make any sound when I connect them to the laptop.

My card is a Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) [20:28] a931bw: #php [20:28] a931bw: #PHP [20:28] a931bw: come to my private chat, this is not the place for that [20:29] MeanEYE, I understand.

The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [20:35] H3r0: It will be in 10.10 [20:35] H3r0: due to the fact that ubuntu usually doesn't update to new major versions during a release cycle.

[21:06] someone gave me a shellscript configured to just 512 mb ram [21:06] Mhaddog, let me restate. I chose logout from a menu. The situation was I had this account active, then I switched user to the guest.) I got a blank screen with no apparent way to activity. I tried various key-things inc cntl-C alt-cntl-F1 and same combo F7 and just alt or just control F1 F7 -- then I used the power switch. [21:06] Bite, .jar files are run with java. [21:06] DrDetroit, Hmmm...strange that - my last two kernel updates actually improved my performance (on old machinery)...have you checked out any of the hdparm / sdparm settings as well as any of yer networking settings - as well, you can also tweak out yer /etc/sysctl.conf to be sure...?? [21:06] Bite, paste the shellscript here: http://p.adora.dk [21:06] tdn: i don't know how to pull it off of the CLI [21:07] DrDetroit, do you use luks? [21:07] have you checked that all your drivers are working?, is this a laptop? @ tripelb [21:07] tdm i dont think so [21:07] Bite, : cat filename [21:07] its just that on the 28 kernel all is well, 29 and 30 make the machine slow down for apparently no reason that i can find [21:07] DrDetroit, ok, 64 bit or 32 bit? [21:07] 32bit [21:07] tdn: that's difficult. [21:08] tripelb: http://linuxreviews.org/beginner/ http://www.linux.com/learn https://help.ubuntu.com/ [21:08] DrDetroit, it is just that I experience really slow I/O performance after upgrading to 10.10, so maybe it could be related. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/731340 [21:08] i need help getting postfix working [21:08] Ubuntu bug 731340 in linux (Ubuntu) "LUKS is extremely slow on amd64 builds but not on i386" [Undecided,New] [21:08] I have both a sata and an ide running on my machine [21:08] hey guys iv been trying to install ubuntu on a 433mhz celeron laptop today but it fails every time with cannot read block, ever yother ditu and windows will install just no ubuntu's iv tried 7 - 10 and also xubuntu and others anything ubuntu based wont work?! any ideas what i can do [21:08] so i have to reboot and go into linux to find that. [21:08] i'll be right back, and tell you. [21:08] on another note, is there a launchpad bug for extremely odd I/O errors with the most recent 2 kernels on 64 bit? [21:09] Mhaddog, everything works. It's a Dell, it's swell. An AGP-PCI machine. It's pretty vanilla. I've installed and use IRC. Picasa (which duplicates pics so it's a fail) chrome. transmission. I keep system monitor and weather-panel-thing running. I use gedit chrome and xchat all the time. That's the extent of my sophistocation. I plug in USB - phone, webcam, flashdrive, mouse. [21:09] my motherboard is a m4a785td-v evo there must be some sound drivers for this motherboard? [21:09] _Q_ : Anyeone knows why, at some boot, I have no sound ? [21:10] Mhaddog, I meant to say, no indication of any problems. It's wonderful. It's a dualboot with windows that I almost never use. [21:11] hello, my Ubunut just suddenly stopped accepting input in X mode [21:11] tdm it is possibel [21:11] ok, if you get episodes like that, you could check the logs and see, question is if you have fins if all your peripherals are recognized and working correctly [21:11] the only thing i think we have in common is ext4 though [21:11] usb sometimes has issues, waking up or shutting down systems, heard recently issues with usb3 [21:11] I was using it just fine this afternoon, then I put it inhibernation, when I came back it went into kernel panic [21:11] its just too strange, all is well one day...do a couple updates and it all turns to mush [21:11] now I turn it on and suddenly X doesn't accept input from keyboard or mouse [21:12] so once you checked that ur drivers are setup correctly then you move forward to more sophisticated issues [21:12] but the console works just fine [21:12] so i guess i will just keep running the 2.6.32-28-generic until a new one makes it go away i guess [21:12] and the mouse works if I disconnect it and connect it again [21:12] problem is, my keyboard is onboard, so I can't disconnect it :| [21:13] Okay... i need to also load GRUB on my computer so i can switch between the two OS i have. [21:13] can somebody help me? [21:13] i'll just mess with my old shellscripts later. === Logan_ is now known as kkey === kkey is now known as Logan_ === derp is now known as lol [21:16] Hi.

[21:59] is there some alternative to dh_install when building deb packages which instruct the package to install the file if it does not already exist? [21:59] have a look at that sysop3, because if one has a larger cluster size, then the minimum size a file takes up disk is higher, so 1,000 1 byte files take up 4,000,000 on a disk with a 4k cluster size [22:00] Hello [22:00] iceroot: yes, but there is still the problem, that if one user creates a file and puts it there, another user wont be able to modify that file. not at default that is. any way to make folder that automatically transforms anything put there as "shared"? [22:00] it might not be much help in fixing it, but that could be the reason, the only way I think to change cluster size would be a format (but if the new disk is empty that shouldn't be a huge problem?)

[22:43] Bite: then you must have a file named /etc/default/grub [22:43] Hi, so I have virtualbox 4.0 running under ubuntu 10.10 I am running a windows 7 client, when I RDP to the client all is good, but I can't figure out how to get sound over rdp, anyone?

[22:46] fr00g: Full-screen it. Windows has no window title bar on fullscreen but it exists in windows mode. For Linux the only option is F11 I believe. [22:46] im using a static ip address and have /etc/resolv.conf using only the loopback for a nameserver. bind9 is running and loads all zones correctly but won't resolv any systems locally. If i remove the external namesever from the forwarders section and restart bind it still resolves external host names. anyone have any idea what's going on? its like /etc/resolv.conf is not being used. [22:47] Bite: just put in terminal what i wrote in " " [22:47] fr00g: Which kinda removes thePersona too I think. [22:47] Bite: and gave us the output [22:47] it's cli. [22:47] not terminal. [22:47] Bite: its the same [22:47] i'm dual-booting two hard drives. [22:47] and it's a pain in the ass. [22:47] iceroot: /etc/default/grub is actually not part of any package. [22:47] also, i don't have copy/paste. [22:47] arand: grub-pc in 10.04 [22:47] !find /etc/default/grub [22:48] Package/file /etc/default/grub does not exist in maverick [22:48] el_btd: I think you have to contact them for pricing. There are free ones too. Many in fact. Ive never used any of them but I only admin a small network like 10 machines. [22:48] arand: hm, should be part of grub2 [22:48] raido: i even have less for now. so you update them all by hand? [22:48] whois miles [22:48] iceroot: Likely postinst or similar though. [22:48] arand: yeah seems so [22:48] iceroot: it's grub2. [22:49] arand: not good maintained (imo) every file should registered in the deb [22:49] i'm just trying to up the time that grub appears before booting and change the default boot to winxp. [22:49] arand: and i guess /etc/default/grub should be marked as conffile too (but just my opinion) [22:50] el_btd: Ok, on one server I installed apt-cacher, then all desktops are the same version of Ubuntu and all have the basic same install. Yes, I update by hand, but apt-cacher makes for a large savings in bandwidth [22:50] Bite: install startup manager to choose witch os to boot first [22:50] Bite: so you dont have a gui, you want to edit a file and dont know how to use nano,emcas, vim. is that correct? [22:50] el_btd: Also, Ive found that /home on NFS is very slow, even on a switched 100/1000 network [22:50] i know nano. [22:50] that's the extent. [22:51] my lenovo thinkpad has a boot partition followed by a windows 7 partition -- for dual booting does ubuntu overwrite the first partition w/ grub? [22:51] el_btd: So I only keep /home/Documents on NFS [22:51] startup manager? [22:51] is it a package? [22:51] Bite: I think that is the correct file, but think you have to do a grub-update afterwards [22:51] i'm not running into file issues.

[22:52] no, i don't. [22:52] Hi all [22:52] what's the lightest gui? [22:52] iceroot: I asked in the virtualbox channel and no one answered, where can I check? [22:52] Bite : xfce [22:52] so i can just install the gui, configure GRUB, and uninstall it? [22:52] Bite : lxde [22:52] Any good tutorial for pushing only private lan routes to vpn clients from a pptpd ubuntu vpn? [22:52] the syntax is sudo apt-get install lxde? [22:53] I dont want the clients to use the vpn as the default route [22:53] Bite: You will be able to do that without a gui... [22:53] hi all :) [22:53] strange... that file is indeed present on my system, why is /etc/default/grub reported nonexistent by ubottu? [22:53] Bite: yes [22:53] juniorsa: ##windows because you wan sound over rdp [22:53] Bite: it is sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop butyou can read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:53] iceroot: right I will check now, thanks [22:53] arand: it's just such a pain... [22:53] lubuntu? [22:53] cybrhuman: its not part of a package, its created from a script inside a package [22:53] raido: i have had the homes on nfs for quite a while now. i need that so people can switch desks and still keep their homes. but my client machines are not super fast, so home speed shouldn't matter that much [22:54] Bite: it is ubuntu with lxde [22:54] Bite: sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc should hopefully generate that file [22:54] el_btd: gotcha === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [22:55] cybrhuman: It is generated postinstall, and hence not managed by dpkg [22:55] hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! anyone out there for a chat === tripelb is now known as Sorry [22:55] !ot | Ray001 [22:55] Ray001: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!

[23:10] SudoKing: see the part where i can't program ;( [23:10] ugh, i must be disconnected... [23:10] hmm [23:10] bite-android: Seems to imply that. [23:10] captainfreeky: in various places. "dpkg -l packagename" to find out [23:10] though i dont know why. [23:10] LjL: C++? [23:10] SudoKing: PHP :P [23:10] aww. [23:10] I'm a php coder too [23:10] LjL, SudoKing: #ubuntu-bots ;) [23:11] Logan_: -L [23:11] sorry logan [23:11] how can i reconnect? [23:11] LjL: -L (sorry Logan_ ) [23:11] i was connected before on the other machine, but im not now... [23:11] Can anyone help me with grub? I have borked my grub setup, but I can access /boot through a live CD. Basically grub appears to be installed in the mbr but I cannot recreate grub.cfg - running sudo grub-install on the drive just gives me an 'Installation finished. No error reported' message but doesn't actually set anything up [23:11] I have a question. So I switched user into my guest account to check that it worked, Ub10.04 - then I chose log out... and the screen went blank. I had to hardboot AFAIK to get a "living breathing system" up. What did I do? I wanted to log that user out and go back to "me". Could I have recovered? I had no cursor, no anything. Please advise, sincerely, A_User [23:11] bite-android: is ur physical connection ok? [23:12] Yep. [23:12] gil : try sudo update-grub [23:12] Where can i see if my ubuntu distro used aslr? [23:12] <_antant> Hey, I had my tv card working a few days ago and now all of a sudden it's stopped. It's not showing up in lsmod but it is in lspci [23:12] If its enabled i need to disable it [23:12] gil: Did you use the --root-directory= option? [23:12] <_antant> What could be the problem? [23:12] zvacet /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'. [23:12] im on 10.10 [23:12] i think i should just reinstall the server and configure it to this computer.... [23:13] whatever. then i will. [23:13] Anyone? [23:13] gil: zvacet: To run that yuo'll need to chroot. [23:13] Anyone? [23:13] arand yes - the command I used was sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/boot2 /dev/sda [23:13] !please | sevith [23:13] sevith: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[23:14] !please | sevith [23:14] sevith, please see my private message [23:14] Jordan_U thanks I'll give that one a go [23:14] Does anyone know if in ubuntu 10.10 ASLR is on by default? Or where I can check this setting at? [23:14] gil: You're welcome. [23:14] oh why hullo thar.. [23:15] what the hell are you doing, linux? [23:15] !language | bite-android [23:15] bite-android: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:15] <_antant> Hey Jordan_U, can you think why my TV card (which was working a few days ago) now doesn't show up in lsmod (happily sat in lspci thought) and how I might fix it? [23:15] its asking me "Boot:" === c is now known as Guest73199 [23:16] logan, sorry, but i stuck in the boot disk for ubuntu and ims getting weird results. [23:16] bite-android: Are you trying to boot from the install CD? [23:16] yep. [23:16] jordan_u, yeah, but its being strange.... [23:16] bite-android: That's a syslinux (the booltloader used in Ubuntu CD images) prompt. Why you're getting it instead of a menu I don't know. [23:17] Is there any way to figure out what images/resources a program uses, without manually changing the images to find it? [23:17] my IDE cd drive is slaved to my master second hdd... [23:17] could that be an issue? [23:18] I need someone to help me rather urgently. Firstly, yes, I have googled and read everything on this subject but nothing seems to work. I need to install Ubuntu Server on my brand new server with 5x2Tb HDD's using a linux software RAID in RAID5. Only 4 drives seem to be able to be used at any given time though. I'm in front of my PC now ready to go. I'm installing the OS on a usb flash drive so it won't be BOOTING from the RAID array === Nikon_the_Third is now known as callaghan [23:19] JordanU I'm struggling with this - sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev - /mnt/dev does not exist [23:19] The_Rufus: What are the symptoms of the problem you are having? [23:19] gil: Then you mounted the wrong partition to /mnt/. [23:19] Guys im putting ubuntu on a usb stick not as liveusb but as the full operating system. how do i make an usb stick bootable? in the bios? [23:20] Jordan_U I couldn't mount to mnt because access was denied when I tried to create /mnt/boot - I tried to create /media/boot and access was denied then too, so I mounted it to /media/boot2 [23:20] mang0: use firstboot device as usb [23:20] !usb | mang0 [23:20] mang0: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:20] how can i edit sources.list directly? there is a bad entry causing an error during update [23:20] Is there any way to figure out what images/resources a program uses, without manually changing the images to find it? [23:21] setting that in bios? [23:21] rebirth: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [23:21] mang0: press F11 or F12 at boot and select the USB to boot. Not all BIOSes can boot USB so you may need some extra trickery [23:21] K [23:21] a_p3rson: how do you mean "images"? [23:21] mang0: At the post screen, you can also hit F8 to select boot device [23:21] can anyone help me setup pulse? [23:21] i have sound in some applications if i specify them to use alsa [23:21] Thankyou and good night! [23:21] but pulse doesnt offer any devices [23:22] !pulse | icewaterman [23:22] icewaterman: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions === ninline is now known as coldfire [23:22] hence it doesnt playback anything [23:22] Logan_: have read that doesnt help [23:22] icewaterman: is the system a branded PC or laptop? [23:22] ActionParsnip: laptop [23:22] Does ubuntu 10.10 ADDRESS SPACE RANDOMIZATION [23:22] ActionParsnip: With gnome-session, when I get the "shut down" screen, the restart icon is the wrong one, but theres about 16 copies of the same image, I want to see which one it's looking at (this in the theme). [23:22] well, I set up the RAID partitioning and get the OS installed only to find it's instantly degraded and one of the drives is missing. all hdd's are tested ok. I've tried with 4 drives and it's fine, i've tried swapping drives around and to no avail. if there are 5 drives in my array, it doesn't work [23:22] sevith: afaik it does yes [23:22] does it use* [23:22] gil: Don't try to work around problems on your own in this case. Following the instructions exactly is critical so just tell me any error message you get and I will help you solve the problem correctly. [23:22] icewaterman: what make and model please [23:22] erUSUL, Is there a way to turn ASLR of? [23:22] off*? [23:23] ActionParsnip: acer extensa 5635 [23:23] I'm in the "Partition disks" section of the install now [23:23] no data on any drives as yet, so I can format and partition at will [23:23] The_Rufus, hrrm [23:24] The_Rufus: Does any OS see all 5 disks at once? It might be a motherboard / Power supply issue. [23:24] ActionParsnip: any idea? [23:24] ok, on the 4gb flash drive I've setup an ext4 system which is /boot [23:24] i dont understand whats wrong, why its asking me for boot as opposed to a loading screen.... [23:24] a_p3rson: not sure at all [23:24] sevith: with /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space [23:24] Jordan_U: not a psu issue. plenty of wattage and all 5 drives do detect with no hassles [23:24] erUSUL, Your awesome thanks [23:24] sevith: probably you can add it to sysctl.conf ( /etc/sysctl.conf ) [23:25] ActionParsnip: there isn't any program that can look at currently running processes, and see what files they are referencing? like Systernals Resource Monitor on Windows? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [23:25] icewaterman: did you add: options snd-hda-intel model=acer in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [23:25] a_p3rson: there is: lsof which shows all currently opened files, pipe it into less or grep to make it useful [23:25] erUSUL, Correct me if Im wrong before I MUCK something up. that file has a setting of 2. If I switch to 0 this will turn aslr off? Correct? [23:26] ActionParsnip: not yet [23:26] erUSUL, echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space ? This should do the trick then? [23:26] Jordan_U ok thanks - I'll literally report back every error message - just going back to the start of the instructions [23:26] sevith: probably [23:26] ActionParsnip: i will reboot to see if that works [23:27] sevith: you need to use sudo « echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space » [23:27] ActionParsnip: how would I set up grep to filter lsof results to "gnome-session" results? [23:27] erUSUL, How badly will i muck stuff up doing this though.... [23:27] The_Rufus: Please give exact symptoms rather than your interpretation. So rather than "degraded and one of the drives is missing" say something like "I get error foo at boot and there is only sda through sdd visible in /dev/" [23:28] sevith: you give up some security. nothing bad should result from it appart from being a little bit more vulnerable to some attacks [23:28] erUSUL, Alright Ill give it a try and see if this fixes my debug issues :( [23:28] any reasons why my microphone isn't picking up input in ubuntu? i checked alsamixer and mic, front mic and mic boost are up all the way [23:28] sevith: why you feel you need to switch it off ? [23:29] ActionParsnip: adding that line didnt help :-( [23:30] ActionParsnip: the chip seems to be from Conexant [23:30] i'll get the details and be back [23:31] hello, question here, when i connect to my box in SSH, the french accent are not displayed properly why ? [23:31] Jordan_U I think I just managed to do the whole thing - certainly created a .cfg file - I'll reboot and see how it goes! :) [23:31] Shockcore: probably problem of the ssh client? is another ubuntu box? [23:32] nope [23:32] i mean it's always in terminal [23:32] when using gnome it's fine [23:32] icewaterman: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [23:32] erUSUL, Going to reboot and see if this works...bbs [23:32] must be some sort of "locale" command i need to do [23:33] Hello! I have a problem with Ubuntu ShipIt. I cannot check my order status, it says I cannot order more CDs. I haven't recieved any CD from Canonical, never. [23:33] JoseeAntonioR: First, you do know that you can download the file, right? [23:34] !download | JoseeAntonioR [23:34] JoseeAntonioR: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:34] a_p3rson ubottu I have a very low bandwidth. [23:34] ahh ok [23:34] anyone have any idea what might be wrong? [23:34] macrocat: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [23:35] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=672f7fd18974b71e707db3727bcd8c8213ce7f26 [23:35] JoseeAntonioR: It could have something to do with the release of 11.04, Canonical may have been swamped. [23:35] ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f114b8f98d61623885699787902402d59c38afff [23:36] a_p3rson And do you know if I can pre-order an 11.04 CD, so I have it shipped as soon as possible? [23:36] JoseeAntonioR: Not sure, would need to check the website. [23:37] * sevith quits at life. [23:37] icewaterman: try running: alsamixer and cranking levels and unmjuting as needed [23:37] ActionParsnip: thats the first thing i tried [23:37] Jordan_U I still have a grub> prompt :( - however ls / is showing me kernels so that's a start I suppose [23:38] Gil: And you followed those instructions exactly? [23:38] ActionParsnip: alsamixer doesnt show me pulse, only the device directly [23:38] hello, question here, when i connect to my box in SSH, the french accent are not displayed properly. Whats the command to fix this? [23:38] ok i was in here a few ago with the problem with my grub. someone posted a tutorial and it isn't working. I am told to input "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/Ubuntu /dev/sda3" into terminal and yes the "Ubuntu" is my ubuntu partition as well as the "/dev/sda3" can someone help me? [23:38] icewaterman: also try in alsa-base.conf model=generic or model=laptop instead of model=acer like before [23:39] Jordan_U I followed them exactly - it even created a grub.cfg file and listed all the kernels it found on /boot# === derp is now known as Pepe_Le_Pew [23:39] a_p3rson Well. I have already called Canonical because of this problem. I hope that they help me to get an 11.04 CD. [23:40] jt13: You almost never want to install grub to a partition like /dev/sda3, always /dev/sda. And I prefer this guide using chroot: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:40] macrocat: http://pastie.org/1701930 [23:41] Jordan_U, whats the difference? and I thought I was supposed to install it to the sda3 since thats my ubuntu partition? [23:41] hey guys, quick question. i download a tar and extracted it. the folder contains an executable file and i can run the program from there. im wondering how to actually "integrate" with my system though, so i dont have to find the executable in the folder everytime. [23:41] what do i want to google for to find out about creating dummy user accounts to run service apps? E.g. www-data for apache2 [23:41] ActionParsnip, it says it could not find the file [23:42] Jordan_U, thats what the guide i was given said nyway [23:42] jt13: The practical difference is that http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide is harder to get wrong accidentily. No, you need grub's boot sector to be in the mbr, the first sector of the disk, which is where the BIOS will look for it. [23:43] You dont need an MBR lets not be silly.... [23:43] You can overwrite the MBR all day long :) [23:43] macrocat: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [23:43] jt13: The guide you were given was wrong. [23:43] macrocat: is that better (possible typo) === gigi is now known as Guest75196 [23:43] muchas gracias por su ayuda [23:43] Jordan_U cat /grub/grub.cfg gives me a file not found :-\ it definitely created the cfg file though, saw it in output! going to try and manually boot into a kernel and see what's happening there [23:43] Jordan_U, ok I am reading the link you gave me now. Thank you for your assistance. it was much needed [23:44] jt13: You're welcome. [23:44] luxurymode: make a symlink to the binary in /usr/bin (give the link a weird name), then make a launcher to run the link [23:44] Hello there.. I need a little help with GRUB 2 [23:44] k be right back rebooting [23:44] Gil: it'll be /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:44] I've been reading info about it all afternoon and something is wrong [23:45] Gil: Try "search --file /boot/grub/grub.cfg; search --file /grub/grub.cfg" to see if either are found on any disks / partitions. [23:45] ActionParsnip: just make a path to a nonexistent file in usr/bin? [23:45] /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not the main file for it [23:45] is lubuntu stable? [23:45] luxurymode: exactly [23:45] pssalman: i'd say so [23:45] ActionParsnip /boot/grub/grub.cfg also not found [23:45] ActionParsnip: great thanks dude [23:46] <_antant> Hey guys. I have a TV card that will no longer work as of a few days ago. It shows up in lspci, but not in lsmod. If I modprobe the driver it shows up in lsmod but doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might try? [23:46] luxurymode: not too wacky so you don't know what it is [23:46] my clock is gone. how do I install it again? [23:46] actionparsnip: is it better than the normal version of ubuntu [23:46] Jordan_U I just did linux /vmlinuz-xxxx root =/dev/sda6 and it just returned a prompt - what am I missing there to boot manually? [23:46] the clock in the top right with the calender [23:46] sudo apt-get install clock [23:46] _antant: is it pci or usb based? [23:46] lol [23:46] that easy huh? [23:46] The system is using another copy of grub.cfg wich I can't find, and this is becoming annoying indeed [23:46] Zelda, no [23:46] Zelda: Right-click panel->Add to Panel...->Clock [23:46] pssalman: it uses lighter apps in order to use fewer resources [23:46] Hey does anyone know of a way to make an apache based SVN server use a URL such as "/scripts" rather then "/home/svn/scripts"? [23:46] Zelda, What starminn said. [23:47] thanks guys [23:47] <_antant> ActionParsnip: it's pci-e [23:47] pssalman: so it uses abiword and gnumeric instead of openoffice and chromium instead of firefox [23:47] _antant: pci-e tvcard??? [23:47] <_antant> yup [23:47] pssalman: and xfburn instead of gnomebaker [23:47] <_antant> pci-e x1 [23:47] actionparsnip: but i still can install what ever i want and use what ever i want? [23:47] un canal de c en español [23:47] por fa [23:47] Gil: 1: There should be no space between 'root' and '=/dev/sda6'. 2: You need to load an initrd with the 'initrd' command 3: Once you've properly loaded a kernel and initrd you need to run 'boot'.

Keep that link handy though. It's dead handy [23:56] okay, thanks ActionParsnip [23:58] Jordan_U, ok but i'm still getting the same "cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) and I mounted /dev [23:58] Jordan_U really stupid question - if there is a file in /boot/grub called crub.cfg that seems to contain entries for all my kernels, is it safe to just cp that to grub.cfg?
