[00:00] Jordan_U: thank you, my next patch will contain "-u" are there any good guides for something like that? have found infos like that on launchpad, just how to report a bug [00:00] ok guys quick question i know im not in lubuntu support, but virtually same thing i think, ok i put lubuntu on a old laptop due to being resource friendly which it is, but when ever i shut lid it goes into sleep when i lift lid to go out of sleep i get nothing, is there a way of disabling this in terminal? thanks [00:00] can someone help me set up a script which runs at shutdown time? [00:01] Tense pudding ? S3 ? Can I delete the whole Wine folder safely. It wont do more than remove my windows programs, correct ? === PleXT is now known as PleXs [00:01] nicholas_: why you want to remove that dir? is wine already removed by apt-get/synaptic? [00:01] iceroot, what does RLIMIT_NPROC indicate? The total number of processes that are allowed to run simultaneously in the system or is it the number of processes that could be spawned by the current user? [00:01] is it supposed to go in etc/rc0.d? [00:01] blahsphemer: i dont know [00:02] I want to remove all my windows applications and start out fresh [00:02] what would be a good player for wma files? [00:02] iceroot, :( okay [00:02] digirak: vlc [00:02] nicholas_: then delete the Program Files directory [00:02] blahsphemer, a quick look makes me guess that it is the max number of processes that that current user can spawn. [00:02] iceroot: ok thanks [00:02] @nicholas just reinstal the fucking shit [00:03] guitar431: we dont need that language here [00:03] anyone know how to fix this bug in the gnome power manager [00:03] !language | guitar431 [00:03] guitar431: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:03] s3r3n1t7, ok. [00:03] digirak: "this" bug? [00:03] Folks, Too many instructions [00:03] any clients for connectinf to jdbc microsoft sql server 2005 from ubunut [00:03] ? [00:03] :) [00:03] I have terrible ADHD, cant process U [00:03] i tell it to suspend my session but it just hangs up sometimes when closing my lappie lid [00:04] 20 people bash me because of my slang terms [00:04] nicholas_: mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old [00:04] hi sorry to be a pain guys but did anyone see my question sorry if im being inpatient or rude [00:04] Hi Guys i could use help setting up a samba share for a dvd player [00:05] ! samba | missil [00:05] missil: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[00:05] Jodon is that a terminal command? [00:05] i think i have same sort of problem as digirak, when i shut laptop lid it goes to sleep/hibernatin but opening i get nothing just blank screen and doesn't do anything [00:05] s3r3n1t7, where do I find info about it. google seems to return vague forum pages [00:05] that bot hates me [00:06] If I have a text tile that starts with "\xff\xfeU", what is it's encoding? [00:06] Can one copy instructions from the chat ? [00:06] chuckbartowski: what have u set ur preferences for close laptop lid for [00:06] nicholas: depends on your client, but about all clients yes [00:07] not sure to be honest digirak coz, im using lubuntu and doesnt seem to be anything in preferences, thanks for help, [00:07] lubuntu? [00:07] whats ur power manager application? [00:08] yup lubuntu it's a lightweight version of ubuntu [00:08] erm 2 tics will try and find out like i said really new to linux [00:08] What disk filesystem should I best choose for a portable drive that will be used (mainly) in OS X, and also partially in Ubuntu (and also on a WD TV Live), which can have, er, large files on. [00:08] Jordan_U: also "diff -u" is telling me "This file does not look like a patch." [00:08] if you go to preferences in system it will give u apower management option [00:08] blahsphemer, check for ulimit [00:09] System->preferences->Power management [00:09] click that and check out what ur options are [00:09] I installed DHCP server, I can get an IP from it, but have no internet access [00:09] hi has anyone managed to install ubuntu on a macbook? === j is now known as Guest89976 [00:09] Jordan_U: ah ok my error was that i was naming the patch file.patch-for-fixing foobar instead of file.patch [00:10] !ics | AJLongstreet [00:10] AJLongstreet: 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 [00:10] hello my interal microphone of acer aspire with ubuntu 10.10 does not work, can you help me? [00:10] thank you [00:10] hi digirak dont think i have those options in lubuntu it's a lot different to ubuntu, the only thing i could find is power management daemon but dont think thats it [00:10] chuckbartowski: yes thats the thing [00:10] SuparNoobie100: Have you checked out virtualbox? [00:10] How can I copy instructions from my chat window ? [00:11] thanks mate [00:11] the daemon has a gui interface called power management [00:11] zabomber: the hd died and i have a new hd. I dont have macosx. [00:11] hmm mine doesnt have a gui anywhere [00:11] iceroot: It's still a good idea to use diff -u. Diff with no other options is almost useless for patch submission as there is no context, meaning almost any change to the file (even one unrelated to the area being patched) will prevent the patch from applying properly. [00:11] chuckbartowski: check that and change ur option to suspend instead of hibernate [00:11] SuparNoobie100: sorry mate. no idea.. i virtualise all my linux machines [00:11] hello, for some reason I suddenly get redirected to http://www.localhost.com when I try to navigate to http://localhost/ on any browser [00:11] hi [00:12] why do youtube videos stop streaming when i load another page in another tab ? [00:12] could i not install a new power management from terminal? thanks for ur help tho mate [00:12] UbuntuByte: flash issue? [00:12] idk [00:12] im using chrome [00:12] its the latest version of flash [00:12] :S === gustavo is now known as gconturzo [00:12] chuckbartowski: yes you could get the gui for that [00:12] is lubuntu gui [00:12] Jordan_U: yes you are right, i always see the syntax from diff -u, so i was not checking the content of diff. i could swear my other distri is using diff -u as a default when using diff [00:12] UbuntuByte: 1) which browser? 2) which flash plugin? 3) there is no chrome for ubuntu. [00:13] Umm there is chrome browser for Ubuntu... [00:13] dinexi: sure there is chrome [00:13] iceroot: I thought it is chromium. [00:13] nah Chrome browser, Adobe Flash 10.2 [00:14] ahh i think i found it digi [00:14] dinexi: Chromium is the open source project from which Chrome is made. Both are available for Ubuntu. [00:14] Chromium is open source dinexi [00:14] UbuntuByte: I use chromium and haven'y seen the problem [00:14] iceroot: and in 10.10 amd64 chromium there is no that problem. [00:14] to get it to pick up i had to unplug power then plug back in and then it appeared [00:14] xangua: thanks, I will know. :( [00:15] like if im listening to a song on youtube, open up a new tab and load the page, the song stops and I have to reload youtube :( [00:15] Jordan: so what will mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old actually do ? [00:15] hmmm strange thing is, that it is set to suspend, but when opening lid i dont get anything just blank screen and linux basically halts there [00:16] I followed Jordan's instruction and get: [00:16] nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old [00:16] nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ [00:16] nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old [00:16] mv: cannot stat `/home/nicholas/.wine': No such file or directory [00:16] nicholas@nicholas-laptop:~$ [00:16] nicholas_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] nicholas_: All of wine's settings, and the virtual 'C:' drive, are stored in the directory ~/.wine. By renaming this directory you cause wine to create a new one on the next run. It's like deleting the directory except you can still restore it later by naming it back again. [00:17] mv -r? [00:17] oh you dont have .wine [00:18] Jordan I am low on space [00:18] I want to delete not rename [00:18] I'd like to find out how to free up some spade in Ubuntu [00:18] rm [00:19] chuckbartowski: na press a button [00:19] it will come baack on [00:19] Humpf, why is it that Maverick's GNOME runs so slowly in a Intel single core 1.5GHz with 512MB of RAM? [00:19] nicholas_: You don't appear to have a .wine directory. You should have one if you've actually been using wine though. [00:19] Docfxit: you can start by removing all the games [00:19] hmm tried that too, not sure what it is but on xp it doesnt do it only on linux [00:19] I have two dvd drives on ubuntu 10.10 one is a HL-DT-ST the other Optiarc both work in windowsXP and Ubuntu 9.10, but Ubuntu 10.10 the HL drive I can boot and play DVD nothing else and the Opticarc I can burn only. Anyone have any ideas? [00:20] Well lemme send U what I see [00:20] SuparNoobie100 Great idea. Thanks.

[00:23] http://imagebin.org/144614 [00:23] how do I install in textmode from lubuntu regular install CD? or get it to use less resources? I tried just now, but it took forever to load, then crashed [00:23] cubi_: What is your end goal? [00:23] 600mhz piii, 256m ram [00:23] !who | nicholas_ [00:23] nicholas_: 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 :) [00:24] Ubottu [00:24] How do U turn red when speaking to me ? [00:24] Jordan_U: installing Ubuntu on ntfs without needing windows to do it [00:24] cubi_: Why? [00:25] Quintin: download !minimal and install lubuntu-desktop [00:25] yea, that's not what I asked. I'd rather not download and burn again if I can help it [00:25] use !tab [00:25] Are there temp files I can remove in Ubuntu? [00:25] Jordan_U: borked graphics card that won't boot window anymore, but a linux distro seems to work, so thought I'd try a better one [00:25] Docfxit: yes, but why would you want to? [00:25] cubi_: So why use ntfs? [00:25] ubotttu how do I use !tab [00:26] I have two dvd drives on ubuntu 10.10 one is a HL-DT-ST the other Optiarc both work in windowsXP and Ubuntu 9.10, but Ubuntu 10.10 the HL drive I can boot and play DVD nothing else and the Opticarc I can burn only. Anyone have any ideas? [00:26] Jordan_U: I'll get the graphics card fixed at some point, and don't want to bother repartitioning [00:26] Quintin I think I'm out of space. [00:26] Docfxit: think? try df -h at a terminal window, or use that disk-free thingie under accessories [00:26] ello [00:27] nicholas_: You don't have a .wine directory because you already successfuly renamed it to ".wine-old". [00:27] giday from oz [00:27] i wanted to talk to someone about some differences between the desktop and server versions of ubuntu, before i go reinstalling [00:28] cubi_: It's a *lot* less of a bother to repartition. [00:28] Quintin I think this is where my problem is /dev/sda2 5.6G 5.4G 0 = Available [00:28] Jordan_U: possibly. but I feel hacky :) [00:28] basically i am running a desktop, but the primary purpose is for running kate/pdflatex/matlab/mathematica/ifort, thats 99% of its use, plus vlc/mplayer and gnome desktop (stripped down as much as possible) [00:28] bouma: the only difference is the packages installed, and you can switch between them by installing the right metapackage [00:29] how can i eliminate empathy from keyrin promt at boot start up [00:29] Docfxit: ok, where is that mounted? [00:29] Is it possible to re-partition while booted into the OS? [00:29] Bot says 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 :) [00:29] What does bot mean ? [00:29] cubi_: It's not worth it and while I've done it I don't really want to outline all of the steps required. [00:29] Quintin It's mounted during boot up. [00:29] tensorpudding: right, cause i wanted to get rid of the mDNS avahi system, but wine depends on it, so all such deps and the deb's themselves are identical? [00:29] nicholas_: it's not a person. it's a program that responds only to certain input [00:30] nicholas_:) bot is a machine [00:30] nicholas_: a bot is a program that provides responses, it's not a person [00:30] Docfxit: no kidding? mounted _where_ though? [00:30] I know that [00:30] Jordan_U: fine. did you figure it out on your own or will google be able to help? [00:30] Irc bots are scripts who have a simple parsing logic. [00:30] Quintin I don't know how to answer your question. [00:30] cubi_: what is your problem that jordan recommends repartitioning to solve? [00:30] But how do I do the ! tab thing [00:30] cubi_: On my own. I'm betting that google will be mostly useless. [00:31] bouma: ubuntu server lacks a gui, and it is generally recommended not to install one if you're using server version [00:31] nicholas_: enter the first few letters of who you wish to address, then press the tab button and it will automatically expand the name for you [00:31] ok now that we all got clear what bot is,i need to eliminate empathy from keyrin at boot,,i want it to autostart with on inconvenience [00:31] Docfxit: when you type df -h , it shows the mount point! "Mounted on:" [00:31] itaylor57, [00:31] like this !language [00:31] Gotya [00:31] Quintin: installing ubuntu to an image file on an ntfs partition instead of resizing the partition and creating a linux one [00:31] nicholas_: just like that [00:31] now how do you folks write in color ? [00:32] itaylor57, ? [00:32] !language | nicolas [00:32] nicolas: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:32] Quintin Sorry. It's mounted on / [00:32] nicholas_: when someone writes your nick, it might appear a different color, it's dependent on your irc client [00:32] nicholas_: when you use my nick it shows as color for me [00:32] itaylor57, Gotya thanks [00:32] Docfxit: ok, try aptitude clean, then consider removing large packages [00:33] nicholas_:) u flooting the channel for no reason at all,,people with issues need the channel to solve them,,so please [00:33] you can send text in a different color but this is usually obnoxious and not all clients support it [00:33] Jordan_U, Can I just delete the old wine? [00:33] nicholas_: Yes. [00:33] Quintin I do have plenty of room on another partition but I'm working on it remotely. [00:33] Xion, Ure a bot, correct? [00:33] cubi_: my mind doesn't able to understand why do you wanna do that O.O [00:33] tensorpudding: hrm, also eg, evolution seems impossible to remove without removing the whole desktop [00:33] nicholas_:) u wish [00:33] can i remove empathy from keyring [00:33] bouma: evolution is depended on for a good number of things [00:33] Xion, Are U or not? [00:34] Docfxit: no reason you can't do what I suggested remotely. also, dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n will list packages by size [00:34] exutux: it's easy to get rid of later on, whereas repartitioning now needs lots of defragging etc [00:34] Im new to linux, how can i change owner permissions for my /home folder? I can view files but cant cut/copy/paste anything. [00:34] cubi_: but do you have windows installed? [00:35] bouma:) i remove evolution with out affecting my desktop [00:35] exutux: yes but it doesn't boot at the moment. safe mode does though ... maybe I could just run wubi through there? [00:35] tensorpudding: do you think another distro might better suit my preferences? [00:35] what exactly is this that you want? [00:35] Xion: youre not running gnome right? [00:36] bouma:) yes,ubuntu 10.4 LTS [00:36] gnome desktop [00:36] cubi_: I don't think so [00:36] if what you want is a server-esque install with gnome but without as much stuff in it as ubuntu, you might want a different distro [00:37] bouma:) try linux mint gnome [00:37] y [00:37] but you can customize an ubuntu server install to your liking [00:37] it just takes more work [00:37] bouma: what is it you want? [00:37] bouma: If you want to remove it so badly you could uninstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage and then install gnome separately. [00:37] mostly installing things that it won't have that you want [00:37] cubi_: I think that best way is to check out NTFS by chkdsk or ntfsfix from linux [00:37] Xion: ah, i have my uncle running 10.04 cause he cant set things up beyond clicking on a deb from a web site like skype, which is handled very well, but then had to put in a bunch of ppa's to get more recent vlc eg [00:37] bouma: although it seems like it would take a lot of effort and be a pita [00:38] how to download flash using apt-get? [00:38] Could someone help me set up Evolution to send mail via Hotmail. The settings are correct (as far as I'm aware), but it doesn't send. [00:38] sl33k_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [00:38] exutux: err the filesystem is fine, that's not a problem [00:39] Polah: I wan't aware you could use HotMail with evolution [00:39] anyone want a macbook? 06 dead hd and cd drive lolz [00:39] thanks Polah [00:39] hi === nux_ is now known as NuXeLiTe [00:39] How do I restart all of Ubuntus services after using ? thanks! [00:39] hi [00:39] itaylor57: You can't? That's news. [00:39] sorry guys to bother you, i'm trying to install a .tar.bz2 file and not sure how, i've done the part where i'm in the directory and the command sudo tar jxvf {filename} but now stuck on how to install can anyone advise please [00:39] how can i change the LANG variable in my terminals permanently? [00:40] is there a way to have hot corners in ubuntu, or a hot key for turning on my screensaver [00:40] i want one small help pl help me [00:40] chuckbartowski: What are you actually trying to install? [00:40] sry, i'm on -server and just discovered ubuntu-server [00:40] SuparNoobie100: Whoa? You're nice! Sure, send it my way! [00:40] cubi_: so I don't understand your problem....you said that windows boot only in safe mode, you did'nt? [00:40] !ask | kk9822 [00:40] kk9822: 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. :-) [00:40] irssipimp: .profile I think [00:40] Jordan_U, firefox 4.0 thanks [00:40] !fx4 | chuckbartowski [00:40] chuckbartowski: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [00:40] exutux: yes, but that's because the graphics card doesn't work properly [00:40] nerdy_kid: that'd be user-wide, wouldn't it? === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [00:40] i have bought a HP 2050 printer and scanner [00:40] is there a way to avoyd keyring,i mean it ask me when running empathy a simple client chat,,and i want to set keyring fot another apps and i cant [00:41] irssipimp: no, userwide is /etc/profile I think. [00:41] i am not able to scan in ubuntu 10.10 [00:41] when i scan it says no scanner detected [00:41] Jordan_U, is that for the beta version? thanks for the help sorry im 2 new 2 linux [00:41] i am able to do in windows [00:41] chuckbartowski: No, it's for the final. [00:41] in the same computer pl help me [00:41] cubi_: so what's your issue then running livecd inside windows and launcing wubi install? [00:41] i found it in compiz, sorry for asking without exploring first :P [00:42] ohzie: do not want pita, hmm. i want to be able to run large multiproc numerical stuff with out things like evo eating mem, i guess its only ~40M resident but 10 apps like that and you start talking real resident mem [00:42] i need help synaptic it keeps be stupid [00:42] launching* [00:42] Jordan_U, Thanks a lot for the help appreciated [00:42] kk9822:) did u updated your distro [00:42] no [00:42] chuckbartowski: You're welcome. [00:42] gimp: [00:42] Depends: libgegl-0.0-0 (>=0.1.3-2010072601~ll) but 0.1.2-lucid~ppa1 is to be installed [00:42] is wtf [00:42] argh running* wubi installer cubi_ [00:42] kk9822:) what is your printer an HP [00:43] hp 2050 [00:43] bouma: Ubuntu is a fantastic desktop but if you want a system primarily for number crunching, you might go with something leaner like Arch or just straight debian instead of trying to cut everything out of Ubuntu that makes it awesome. =P [00:43] What's the command to search with apt-get? [00:43] Polah: I just thought pop and imap wasn't available anymore via hotmail, but I don't use it so I have no idea [00:43] exutux: windows doesn't boot normally so I can't launch wubi. it does boot in safe mode but you said that wubi probably wouldn't work there? [00:43] Polah: apt-cache search [00:43] Polah: apt-cache search packagename [00:43] bastidrazor: I win :p [00:43] any ideas [00:43] itaylor: It uses POP3 and SMTP from what I've seen and they're supported in Evolution [00:44] exutux: ping times must be off.. it shows me first :) [00:44] bastidrazor: :O [00:44] How do I start a programme that runs under wine ? [00:44] Where do i find the shoertcut? [00:44] kk there is support for linux in HP,i did install a driver myself to my mom's computer and works grate [00:44] ohzie: i suppose you're right, some of this stuff is occasionally useful, 99%i never use the wireless but it is a laptop, same with bluetooth, but occasionally i want to send/rec files from my phone.. hrm [00:45] chuckbartowski: what are you trying to install? read the install directions. also read in the directory you just unzipped INSTALL, and README [00:45] i have a cd along with printer === bootri is now known as Omega [00:45] bouma: Well the best thing for you to do would be to find something in the middle. Have you tried LXDE? [00:45] irssipimp: google "how to change environment variables linux" perhaps. [00:45] Jordan_U, Where do i find the shortcut for a program emulated with wine? [00:45] Jordan_U, thanks that worked a treat in installing firefox 4 cheers [00:45] in that how to upload the drivers which file to upload [00:45] Quintin I have removed a few applications including all games. Nothing seems to make any room. Available is still zero. [00:45] in users and grups is there a group for apps like empathy [00:45] cubi_: uhmmmm Windows run in safe graphics mode or in safe mode OS???? [00:46] ok xion i will try [00:46] Docfxit: did you do `aptitude clean' ? [00:46] Quintin, thanks for advice mate, Jordan_U helped me i was just trying to install firefox 4 and wasnt sure how, but got there sorry im a noob with linux, but trying to learn so dont have to pester you guys :) [00:46] ohzie: the thing is, sometimes i have eg, mathematica running on a calc overnight, and i fully appreciate that it is in some ways the wrong tool, thats why i prototype with it and then reimplement in fortran (intel fort is pretty darn efficient in this domain) but i want the mathematica prototype to be correct so i can use it to compare against the results from ifort so i some verification of correctness [00:46] exutux: the safe mode that's chosen in windows boot menu instead of starting normally [00:46] thanks [00:46] kk9822:) and is a debian to [00:47] i will check [00:47] itaylor57: I got it to work; I was using the wrong encryption type. [00:47] Polah: good to hear [00:48] Quintin yes. That looked like it ran but didn't seem to free up any space. I'll run it again. [00:48] WINE question. How do I launch an exe programme installed with Wine? [00:48] ohzie: plus the large community and dev pace of ubuntu is a big advantage, although im really not sure i like where the desktop is going, as it is i always turn off 3d wm/compositors [00:48] cubi_: well I don't think that you can install something in this situation....but you can try [00:48] nicholas_, right click open with wine [00:48] nicholas_: wine Win32virus.exe [00:48] nicholas_: usually it gets installed in your wine submenu in gnome... otherwise use "wine " from command line [00:49] nicholas_: right click and check that it has execute permission for your user, then double click :) [00:49] Quintin: i know that, but i felt, that this was not the right way to do this system wide. [00:49] is a universal binary mac application exec file able to run on linux? (it sure sounds like it should.) [00:49] Quintin, The problem is I dont have the wine submenu [00:49] snake__, no [00:49] anyone using miredo? [00:49] nicholas_: logout and log in again, perhaps [00:49] snake__: No. The "Universal" in "Universal Binary" means that it runs on PPC and Intel OS X installs. [00:49] Quintin: but i found /etc/default/locale, which was what i needed [00:49] Quintin After running it again it still shows Zero available [00:49] bouma: A lot of people do. Everyone has their thing. 10.04 is the first version I've ever actully used the window manager in gnome(minus compositing though.) I was using gnome with xfwm4 for the longest time. [00:49] Quintin, will try [00:50] rww, oh thanks for clearing that up for me :P === eric is now known as Palm [00:50] nicholas_: no matter if you're going to run from the prompt with ./winprog.exe, or from a gui, you need exec attribute set [00:50] cubi_: my advise is always to resize your partition and install Ubuntu normally [00:50] Quintin, how do I log out? [00:50] bouma: But I, personally, have just had better luck with deb based systems than anything else, and Ubuntu is prettier than vanilla debian. :3 [00:50] @nicolas you can also use vm-player to run windows crap [00:50] bouma, In english please [00:50] bouma: don't think X has to be set to do "wine " [00:50] can i remove complete the app keyring from my sistem [00:50] Grrrr, can't duel boot ubuntu and windows on my laptop [00:50] i hate keyring [00:51] nicholas_: go buy a mac. [00:51] bouma, how do I do that? [00:51] haha [00:51] Hello, im trying to install "enna" but i get this messages about unmet dependencies. What can I do? http://pastebin.com/Lh3DsytP [00:51] Dual* [00:51] no dont buy a mac [00:51] Quintin, Can U spare a dime [00:51] ? [00:51] dbugger:) install dependencies [00:51] I have terrible ADHD am on welfare [00:51] Todd200 You can duel boot with system commander [00:51] Am an MD [00:51] Xion, the packages listed dont exist in the apt [00:51] nicholas_: my first suggestion was english, and applies to a gnome desktop, as in the typical ubuntu install + wine [00:52] Docfxit: what is system commander? [00:52] nicholas_: right click [00:52] nicholas_: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, we're not interested in your personal life :( [00:52] nicholas_: right click, and properties, permissions [00:52] I'm pretty convinced he's trolling. [00:52] HP is stupid and ships computers with 4 primary partitions [00:52] what is the syntax to install python packages setup.py ? === Herobrine is now known as bildramer [00:52] Quintin, lets move on [00:52] dbugger:) write the package here [00:52] Todd200 A program that will let you duel boot any OS. [00:52] Quintin, that's what I was thinking ;) [00:53] sl33k_: sudo python setup.py install [00:53] rwlove, I do not appreciate being told to go buy a mac [00:53] they are a lot. This are all of them: http://pastebin.com/Lh3DsytP [00:53] nicholas_: best to just ignore silly comments, then [00:53] nicholas_: you're welcome [00:53] nicholas_:) yu are a menace to the chat [00:53] Xion, stop that [00:54] Xion, http://pastebin.com/Lh3DsytP [00:54] bouma, Permissions then? [00:54] dbugger, have you been here. http://enna.geexbox.org/download.html [00:54] hi guys can neone recommend a very lightweight pdf viewer which remembers page you last on? tried googling but only found few products from 2009 article called xpdf but always know someone may know of alternatives which are better [00:54] Xion, I am a menace to a lot of people [00:55] sorry not products, i meant apps [00:55] chuckbartowski: evince is fine [00:55] nit-wit, no, I tried it from the Ubuntu software center, and it crashed. and now im trying in the terminal, and it gives this message.. [00:55] I've got a weird one. Any torrents in Deluge/Transmission/other on my Ubuntu machine KILLS my internet. Torrenting from Windows has ZERO probems. Any thoughts on what might casue this? [00:55] Hi, I just upgraded my Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 through do-release-upgrade(because the Update Manager was having some sort of server error every time I tried) and now when I boot the system, I get some IRQ related error when trying to access my main disk(sda2). I tried booting with irqpoll option, but then it gets stuck and never boots. Recovery mode also doesn't work. Any idea what's the matter? [00:55] chuckbartowski: Don't close the PDF? [00:55] Quintin, thanks for that the advice [00:55] nicholas_:) it has to be a room where u can talk all the silly stuff u want to,,please let people help [00:55] Docfxit: all I can find is references to a 10 year old computer program [00:55] are there any instructions for configuring HP Laserjet 1102 printer for kubuntu 10.04 - [00:55] red2kic, lol nah rather have program remember lol thanks for the tip tho lol haha [00:56] chuckbartowski: Send it to a different workspace so it don't show up in your panel. [00:56] Bouma What after permissions ? [00:56] Todd200 I have no idea how old it is. All I know is it works. [00:56] kamran: google "$myprinter linux support" [00:57] chuckbartowski: I usually do that for Thunderbird because if I close it, I won't get libnotify popup. So I leave it open and I get mail notifcations. [00:57] Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a little sound problem, my headphones are not detected, at all. Internal audio shows up, a friend who has ubuntu says that when I plug my headphones in, in the sound manager I should see a "jack" or "headphones" option show up on outbut, but all I have is internal... [00:58] red2kic, didnt think of using other desktop, it's just reading a novel and if shut laptop down i know it can read it later [00:58] Azzy_112358: does sound come out of your headphones? [00:58] None, whatsoever [00:58] my panel has frozen twice now [00:58] dbugger:) did u ever try this ppa - deb http://packages.geexbox.org/ karmic main [00:58] im not in Karmic, im in MAverick [00:58] bouma you need exec attribute set meaning? [00:58] The computer doesn't even "notice" them. They are plugged in and the alerts from IRC are coming from my speakers. [00:59] can anyone tell me a little about arch, can i get some of the same effect as use flags, eg if a ubuntu package doesnt have certain compilation options then im either stuck with deps or without some functionality, but without the indeterminacy that can be gentoo [00:59] bouma, arch? as in archlinux? [00:59] I've installed Ubuntu before and it didn't work either, never managed to go past this problem [00:59] im imagining instead of binaries for every possible combination of use flag and arch, just a couple of common sets [01:00] Quintin, with evince is there a way of making a shortcut in start menu? i dont see a link to it in my start menu i can launch it though from terminal [01:00] bazhang: yup, as in archlinux [01:00] Same version, it's clean, all I had to do was edit the grub, "acpi = copy_dsdt". Other than that, it's mint condition [01:00] chuckbartowski: start menu? wtf? [01:00] bouma: /join #archlinux [01:00] bouma, check their support channel [01:00] right [01:00] cheers [01:00] chuckbartowski: what desktop are you using? [01:00] Well, seems like no media center for Linux for now [01:00] Thanks anyway [01:00] dbugger: linux has tons of media crap [01:00] dbugger, mediatomb? others? [01:01] Quintin, sorry i'm new to linux, im using lubuntu 10.10, the start menu is like windows start button where it lists all programs, lubuntu has it's own version, [01:01] dbugger:) try it [01:01] Mediatomb? [01:01] Headphones dont work, microphone doesn't work... [01:01] That's not what I want [01:01] I want some sort of Media Center, not a web UI [01:01] Quintin, ubuntu's is listed as applications on panel [01:02] chuckbartowski: no idea. google "lxde make menu shortcut" or such [01:02] Xion, Im not too savvy on Linuxy-things. I like things working pretty much out of the box. If I have to meddle with the system, Id rather not do it. [01:02] chuckbartowski: maybe ask #lubuntu or #lxde [01:02] Azzy: you check the sound preferences... right? [01:02] Azzy_112358:) install equalizer [01:02] Quintin, thanks [01:02] dbugger: good luck [01:02] why the hell is ubiquity not starting on my lubuntu disc [01:02] ugh [01:03] pcpower, ty [01:03] 大家还挺早的啊 [01:03] !cn | haoyihuan_ [01:03] haoyihuan_: 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 [01:03] when installing a .exe under wine and it says recommend U close all other applications, is that true also in linux ? [01:04] from where? [01:04] anyone here have experience with patching driver for injection with aircrack :-/ [01:04] nicholas_: I ignore those messages on both Windows and Linux ;) [01:04] rwlove, hanks [01:04] boomtnt, /join #aircrack-ng [01:04] thanks [01:04] with every new version of ubuntu I try to use, there is a new different set of bugs that totally makes it unusable for me [01:04] pcpower, then file some bugs [01:04] bazhang, no one there :( [01:05] pcpower: welcome to computer software! [01:05] boomtnt, sure there is [01:05] bazhang: what's the point, I never have these problems with other distros, so I just use something else [01:05] pcpower: some of us curse at microsoft for the same. some of us have microsoft consultants on site for 6 months at a time trying to find solutions to such bugs - at great expense. [01:05] bazhang: i mean i post my question there for a while but no one answered [01:05] Can't find equalizer [01:05] how do I check disk. When I do "fdisk -l" - it says "can't read /dev/sda". How can I check /dev/sda? seems like fsck checks only working partitions. [01:05] pcpower, file/fix bugs; complaints in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:05] chmk: you need to be root [01:05] pcpower: if you dont file bugs then you dont help fix them - either for yourself or others. you also prove you are troll. [01:06] boomtnt, then be patient [01:06] linxeh, thats uncalled for === kostas_ is now known as Star_Light [01:06] chmk: why are you wanting to do that? [01:06] troll? lol. I do file bugs, and they never get any responses [01:06] bazhang: shrug [01:06] my bug reports generally get responded to [01:06] ...18-24 months after I file them. [01:06] pcpower, this is hardly the place to rant about bugs [01:06] when installling with wine: Create shortcut on desktop? [01:06] I really wish people didn't call each other trolls. All it does it make the situation worse :( [01:07] hi! i installed ubuntu a few days ago. now i wanted to use grid. but when i aktivate it i cant use it. any idea why? [01:07] rwlove, whats a troll? [01:07] bazhang: I could paste my report, but would it do any good? [01:07] pcpower, sure it would [01:07] nicholas_: could you please go be stupid somewhere else [01:07] ok [01:07] Quintin, stop that [01:07] nicholas_: my nick is not rwlove ;) [01:07] Quintin: be civil please [01:07] bazhang: sorry, I've had people bashing linux all day at me at work - yet we have microsoft consultants trying to figure out why all the workstaitons lose printer mappings, but then prevent users from remapping those printers (but they can map different ones fine). Oh, and the fact that profiles get wiped out on average once a fortnight. but they all say microsoft rock. I probably shouldnt use the internet when I'm so fed up of shills and trolls at [01:08] all three of you can sod off [01:08] pcpower: the best part of that new version new bugs, is if you reported all of them for the previous version, and so on :D [01:08] linxeh: Correct, you probably shouldn't. [01:08] shipship: what's grid [01:08] howdy! gwibber/ff issue: youtube vid that was posted to my FB w/gwibber open keeps opening new tabs in FF for said video [01:08] rww The client did that [01:08] let me find it on launchpad with my slower-than-56k internet [01:08] pcpower, okay [01:08] Quintin: you need to keep on top of your bugs as much as the people reading them do [01:08] pcpower: the more evidence there of problems exists then the more people have to go on when fixing bugs. if only one person complains and gives a use case then its often very hard to track bugs down. [01:08] Quintin, I do NOT know what a troll is [01:08] how do I make it stop? [01:08] Sigh, you meant asla equalizer? [01:08] Quintin: keep them current, add messages for new versions if something still happens [01:08] its like windows+right in windows 7. to put a window to the half right or left of a windows [01:09] nicholas_: it is an insult. please just ignore it. [01:09] rww: my apologies, I wont do it here again :) [01:09] nicholas_: someone who causes disruption in a channel for their own amusement, basically. [01:09] Kind of like he's been doing for 35 minutes? [01:09] Quintin, I do NOT know what a troll is [01:09] nicholas_, a troll is a troll [01:09] nicholas_: Do you know what google is? [01:09] urban dictionary [01:10] ok, everybody, please stop this quarrel [01:10] keep on topic guys [01:10] A troll is a person who uses chat rooms as a fighting arena :) [01:10] nicholas: look it up on urban dictionary [01:10] guitar431, one example [01:10] is it possible to install ubuntu on macbook without mac os x? [01:10] !ot [01:10] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:10] a troll is someone that lives under a bridge and extorts anyone who would cross :D [01:10] SuparNoobie100: yes, why wouldn't it be? [01:10] SuparNoobie100, sure [01:10] !mac | SuparNoobie100 [01:10] SuparNoobie100: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [01:10] Quintin, and U do U know what a PITA is? [01:10] nicholas_: enough please [01:10] nicholas_: I suggest you learn how to use google. [01:10] HELLO MORNIN G ALL [01:10] howdy! gwibber/ff issue: youtube vid that was posted to my FB w/gwibber open keeps opening new tabs in FF for said video [01:11] thanks [01:11] Alrighty, squabble time is over. Further squabbling will result in timeouts. Back to Ubuntu support in 3... 2... 1... 0. [01:11] SuparNoobie100: Yes, but it's recommended to keep an OSX install for firmware upgrades if nothing else. [01:11] how do I make it stop? [01:11] Scott271: that sounds like normal [01:11] @GT-slackin What do you mean with example :) [01:11] ok [01:11] can I stop it? [01:11] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on a old system with a geforce mx 4000 after a round of updates I'm unable to login, it tries then returns to the login screen [01:11] im trying to cp ssl.* /etc/apache2/blah but im getting ssl.load and sll.conf are the same file errors. [01:11] Scott271: right click copy link? [01:12] Hello, is there any reporting of the latest update breaking Ubuntu? (overheard part of a conversation and I'm half way through the update, have not rebooted yet) Thanks...... [01:12] bazhang: here it is [01:12] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/728830 [01:12] Ubuntu bug 728830 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Reproducible: OpenGL application segfaults Xorg (w/ nvidia driver) every 15 minutes" [Undecided,New] [01:12] pcpower, checking now [01:12] uh oh there is nadster33 reporting. Any more? [01:12] Quintin, If U spent more time answering questions and not making snyde remarks, it would be most helpful. Now about shortcuts? [01:12] Any way I can go back? [01:12] nadster33: look at /var/log/X.org.0 or such [01:12] Hello again, I'm still having problems to boot my newly upgraded lucid, it gives me some messages about disablign IRQs then it plain stops. I disabled the quiet option(the splash plainly doesn't work) and I can see it keeps trying to activate USB devices that aren't there, and does nothing else. Anyone can help? [01:12] mickster04, it just opens on it's own [01:12] nicholas_: I am not your personal support, you idiot. [01:12] pcpower: fwiw, if theres a proprietary driver involved, a lot of people viewing them consider the possible problem in that driver, and possibly unsolvable, before even looking at it [01:13] Quintin, nicholas_: Come back in 15 minutes or so. [01:13] ohsix: hence my frustration :) [01:13] Oh, yes, I also tried to boot with "irqpoll" as suggested, but it doesn't work. Still gets stuck. [01:13] tripleb: I am running 10.04, and 10.10 on multiple computers and not having any trouble. [01:13] Jordan_U: yeah i would but i dont have mac os x cd and the old hd crashed [01:13] exutux: wow, wubi did work from safe mode! I didn't expect it to, either [01:13] pcpower: well you should be bothering nvidia too, or only; they'll try and reproduce it as much as anyone, and have the resources to look at their driver [01:14] All these disk accesses are really slowing my computer. I almost can't work with it. [01:14] ohsix: I've tried, nvidia won't be bothered unless you buy thousands of chips from them [01:14] Quintin, Please read my lips. Objectivity. Handle the dolts with silence, or acting only on the clear part of their communication. I ast "as if" they meant well. I just act helpful if at all. It doesnt matter if they come around but they might. Peace out bro, from a sis. [01:14] wtf.... anyone help with this simple issue. http://pastebin.com/uUxu1yUn [01:14] Ok, nothing [01:14] pcpower: yea, by email or business support; but a lot of testers and "linux" people at nvidia are on the forum [01:15] whats the command for running hp setup on terminal ? [01:15] xguru: sudo apt-get install libzlib-dev [01:15] how do i list all users on ubuntu? [01:15] cat /etc/passwd [01:15] kamran: hp setup? [01:15] So, no one can get this working [01:15] xguru, that pastebin doesnt get bigger with cntl-+ and I cant read it. [01:16] pcpower: thanks, i assumed it was installed with build-essentials [01:16] please, is there a problem with the latest 10.04 update. Please tell me. [01:16] Please? === tripelb is now known as IAMAgirl [01:16] i thought there was some command that would make the system detect the printer attached [01:16] please, is there a problem with the latest 10.04 update. Please tell me. [01:16] SuparNoobie100: Yes, just install as you would with a PC and if not all your hardware works then look for some mac specific guides. Ignore any guide that tells you to install grub to a partition, you want grub in the MBR (which is where it is installed by default). [01:17] IAMAgirl: Not on my main machine. [01:17] Jordan_U: MBR on a mac? === Jasonn is now known as sixsixsix [01:17] hy [01:17] IAMAgirl: what kind of a problem , please tell us all [01:17] pcpower, I did sudo fdisk -l [01:17] pcpower: THe mbr is the first sector of a disk. All disks have an mbr, even if they're using GPT rather than an msdos partition table. [01:17] !nicks [01:17] !nick [01:17] Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [01:18] Hi [01:18] I just had kde 4.7 installed [01:18] Sigh. Fine, thanks anyway, I guess. [01:18] Jordan_U: iv tried many iso to boot from usb but none work [01:18] and I had gnome as well [01:18] chmk: then maybe /dev/sda does not actually point to a hard drive [01:18] !enter | monaDeveloper [01:18] but I need my user to be able to login to kde [01:18] monaDeveloper: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:18] IAMAgirl: what is the issue you are having? [01:18] maybe /dev/hda ? [01:18] ok [01:19] Jordan_U: i thought on efi/mac's there was a blessed loader, you don't change the mbr [01:19] monaDeveloper: you can, just select it when you select the username to log in with [01:19] hi all how do i turn off Compiz 10.10 [01:19] headset: system>pref>appearance [01:19] headset: system>prefs>appearence [01:19] mickster: it's not allowed always logs me on to gnome [01:19] unless it's via bootcamp, not native [01:19] headset: the last tab i think, select "None" === Roniga is now known as Aginor [01:19] monaDeveloper: well don' [01:19] Hi, is there any way to force windows to your screen size, my res is 800x480 and many windows are cut off at the bottom and will not maximize, so I cannot click them. [01:19] monaDeveloper: well don't let it autolog in [01:20] SuparNoobie100: Apple's BIOS implementation is buggy and doesn't support booting from USB. You can make a bootable USB drive using grub-efi. [01:20] Disturbance: alt+mouse drag moves the window from anywhere on that window [01:20] Come on. All that's left is my headphone jack and microphone, then everything will be working [01:20] mickster: I understand what you mean [01:20] Disturbance, try ALT-[space] to access the menu. [01:20] ac7ss - the issue I am having is fear and trepedation of losing use of my computer. (I hear rumor.) I have installed the latest update, but not rebooted. -- thanks for picking up on me. -- Ub 10.04 old dell (PCI-AGP) [01:20] mickster: I have kdm as my default manager [01:20] monaDeveloper: so you select the user, but before you type the keyboard you get the option to change the enviroment? [01:20] Disturbance: from there there is a menu to move the window, etc [01:20] mickster: no [01:20] xorg.0.log what should i be looking for in here? if something is wrong [01:21] Jordan_U: it's not really buggy, it's just efi [01:21] Disturbance, what mickster04 told you is so cool. It's a wonder and a help!! [01:21] monaDeveloper: at the bottom? you normally do? [01:21] mickster: there is no choice for the user but whenever I type my user name and password it logs me on to gnome [01:21] Jordan_U: they wont boot el torito either :D [01:21] !tab | monaDeveloper [01:21] visual effects ? [01:21] monaDeveloper: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:21] mickster04: Thanks that works, however I'll mainly be accessing it through a touch screen phone through vnc, is there any way that doesn't involve holding a key? [01:21] monaDeveloper: don't type your password [01:21] IAMAgirl: No problems here. if it doesn't reboot correctly, use the bootloader to use an old kernel. === sixsixsix is now known as Jasonn [01:22] Disturbance: you're pushing it a bit eh [01:22] ok [01:22] monaDeveloper: just before you type your password you get to checnge it [01:22] ohsix: Thier BIOS implementation is buggy as it doesn't handle booting from USB. Their BIOS implementation does support el torito, their EFI implementation is rather buggy as well. [01:22] monaDeveloper: or it will be the bottom left? [01:22] IAMAgirl: Do you have any special drivers? (wireless in particular.) [01:22] mickster04 just having some fun with the new phone, not a pressing issue :) [01:22] Disturbance: also you can left click drag the window to a point that you can click what you need [01:23] mickster: ok [01:23] Jordan_U: i'm talking about when bootcamp isn't in play [01:23] !ping [01:23] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [01:23] sacarlson thanks as well [01:23] but i'll defer to you [01:23] hmm ati cards dont like ubuntu that much [01:23] heh ubottu thinks he is Marvin. [01:25] i have installed ubuntu 10.10 but my internet connection drops every 5 minutes [01:25] any help [01:25] I guess its useless then.

[01:26] is that a threat [01:26] pssalman: I think that's mostly caused by network-manager if you have wifi try wicd or wpa-gui [01:26] momoz: sorry wrong nick [01:26] pssalman, what chipset [01:26] Hello again. I just upgrades my karmic to lucid, it wasn't bootin. Now I tried booting with "noapic nolapic" and without "quiet splash", and the "disabling IRQ" messages stopped, but it suddenly enters graphic mode and sets the splash screen(even though I told it NOT TO) and my screen is all flickering, so I can't see a damn thing. Can someone help me now? [01:26] bazhang: padevchooser is deprecated/obsolete [01:26] Mmm, no [01:27] if you go back to windows you will go back to surveilance, big brother and an open standard back door for the fbi [01:27] . [01:27] nothing to hide! [01:27] I take that back, padevchooser is installed and updated. [01:27] ohsix, in favor of what? its in maverick and natty still [01:27] I installed Palm desktop via Wine but do not have a shortcut nor for it nor for wine... [01:27] sacarlson: i am on a normal desktop with no wifi... just wired network and i have uninstalled the default network manager and installed wicd but same problem [01:27] is the Ubuntu support channel? [01:27] Zup, yes [01:27] Zup: yup [01:28] bazhang: thankyou [01:28] ac7ss, excellent. How do I do that ie how do I "use the bootloader (you mean grub right?) to use an old kernel" -- no wireless. I'm greatly vanilla (+picasa,VLC,IRC,wine never-used, abiword, cheese) and ethernet-connected. -- Now I remember that grub/2? gievs me this long list at startup (bla bla, bla bla recovery, bla bla, ...) Maybe this is a list of old kernels? [01:28] how do i list all users on ubuntu? [01:28] bazhang: pavucontrol, and i don't see padevchooser around anymore [01:28] nikkii, on your system? [01:28] pssalman: when it's disconnected what is seen in ifconfig? and route ? also see what becomes of the contents of /etc/resolv.conf [01:28] !info padevchooser | ohsix [01:28] Quintin, I need to recover that HDD, the problem is, there are a few partitions, one of them is windows and the windows loads, but there is an unpartitioned space that I want to install Ubuntu on, but I can't partition that empty space, it gives me an input/output error gparted and in disk manager. [01:28] ohsix: padevchooser (source: padevchooser): PulseAudio Device Chooser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-2ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 19 kB, installed size 132 kB [01:28] I believe Linux is detecting my soundcard correctly, at least the name is right [01:29] bazhang: you have to go out of your way to install it [01:29] But it's like the jack doesn't exist. Nor the inbuild microphone [01:29] Hello again. I just upgrades my karmic to lucid, it wasn't bootin. Now I tried booting with "noapic nolapic" and without "quiet splash", and the "disabling IRQ" messages stopped, but it suddenly enters graphic mode and sets the splash screen(even though I told it NOT TO) and my screen is all flickering, so I can't see a damn thing. Can someone help me now? [01:29] bazhang, yes but not currently on, i want to list ones that are even not currently on [01:29] ohsix, that hardly means obselete [01:29] bazhang: anyways, this isn't very important, theres like 2 checkboxes that are in padevchooser that load modules that people rely on [01:29] I have a question..... I had webcamstudio installed then took it off and erased all the left over files... however when I run "locate webcamstudio" files come up, but in a gui root search, there are no files... look at my screen shot.... http://imagebin.org/144630 [01:29] IAMAgirl: during the boot, there is a time to press ESC. then you can access the old kernels in a menu. Shouldn't need that though. The biggest troubles I have had were with Wireless and video. Video has a failback mode that will allow you to repair. [01:30] I love swap [01:30] bazhang: i didn't base my judgement on whether you have to manually install it, it's long from upstream [01:30] pcpower, when I look in disk manager, it sees all partitions and it shows it as /dev/sda, but even in disk manager, I cannot partition unpartitioned space in it, it thinks for a while, then times out and says input/output error. [01:30] What is the speed difference between wubi and native install? [01:30] chmk: maybe the drive is bad? [01:30] Thanks for the [TAB] info. saves a lot of typing in IRC. [01:31] If I get no answer, how long to wait B4 i repeat my question ? I installed Palm desktop via Wine but do not have a shortcut nor for it nor for wine... [01:31] nicholas_: #winehq brah [01:31] nicholas_, whats the listing in the appdb [01:31] So, padevchooser is installed and so is pavcontrol [01:31] nicholas_, do you have a wine entry in your program dropdown? [01:31] ac7ss, I do not [01:32] Hello again. I just upgrades my karmic to lucid, it wasn't bootin. Now I tried booting with "noapic nolapic" and without "quiet splash", and the "disabling IRQ" messages stopped, but it suddenly enters graphic mode and sets the splash screen(even though I told it NOT TO) and my screen is all flickering, so I can't see a damn thing. Can someone help me now? BTW, it was working fine in intrepid, jaunty and karmic. [01:32] pcpower, existing windows partition loads from it. That's the point, I know that something is wrong with the disk, but obviously, I can't check it with fsck, the question was how do I check it then? [01:32] ac7ss, what is that "list of ubuntus" I see when I boot up? (The HD is an XP dual boot.) [01:32] ac7ss, I have been trying to solve that problem for ages [01:32] nicholas_, I cannot tell you how to add that, perhaps someone else here.... [01:33] chmk, I cant fix you but I'm interested. Are you doing this - by booting from a liveCD? [01:33] nicholas_: the desktop integration stuff isn't 100%, so it can't be expected that .desktop entries show up for everything you install; you might have to run it manually [01:33] guedesav: did you run proprietary video drivers before the upgrade? [01:33] nicholas_: if you look in Edit Menu, is wine listed anywhere in there (maybe unchecked)? [01:33] SuparNoobie100: If you can it's easiest to boot from a CD, using this iso if you want to do a 64 bit install you'll need to use the +mac iso (which works around a bug in Apple's firmware). I know there is a version for Ubuntu but all I can find at the moment is the one for kubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/ports/releases/10.10/release/kubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64+mac.iso [01:33] IAMAgirl, The list of ubuntus is a listing of the kernels. if the top one doesn't work, you can select the one below it. (not the safe mode one, the one below that.) [01:34] Well, I really need sound on my headphones, aint restricting my video editing to times when people are not around. [01:34] pcpower, I don't believe that in a such powerful and old OS, as linux no disk check/recovery programs. [01:34] drc, I know that there is this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074646 [01:34] IAMAgir, yes [01:35] nicholas_, I am running the netbook edition now, so I cannot try it myself. (the menu system is different.) [01:35] allways been problems ati cards with ubuntu ? [01:35] sacarlson: I just booted my newly installed Intrepid and upgraded it to Jaunty, then Karmic and then Lucid. For all I know, it should be at least displaying with a 648x480 resolution like the others did. [01:35] ohsix, As I was saying to drc: I came accross this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074646 [01:35] ac7ss, thks for trying [01:36] sacarlson: also, all I have is an onboard sis671 video card. I don't think that'd be a problem. [01:36] Hey? [01:37] guedesav, I dont think sis has a 3d acceleration driver for linux at this time if that was what you wanted [01:37] bazhang: fwiw, gnome-volume-control can do everything aside from moving streams; but its device tab does move streams as people expect [01:37] coz_: I don't use 3d acceleration, I just want a monitor that works [01:37] Hello? [01:37] Im new to linux, how can i change owner permissions for my /home folder? I can view files but cant cut/copy/paste anything. [01:37] nicholas_: You didn't answer my question [01:37] guedesav, ah ok... is it not giving you the proper resolution? [01:38] coz_: It's not giving me nothing. The screen is flickering and I can't see a damn thing. [01:38] coz_: and this will sound bitter, but it worked all fine in 8.04. I hate upgrading my system, and that's the reason. [01:38] drc, Sorrry no its not [01:38] Jordan_U: I tried that but cd drive is dead i think [01:38] guedesav, yes i understand... which version are you on now? [01:38] coz_: as I said three times already, lucid. [01:38] Whats the term for a Ubuntu newbie (or, Someone who only half-knows the terminal in Ubuntu, Or, GUI Windows Junkie)? [01:39] Can anybody tell me if it's possible to minimize Evolution to the messaging menu? [01:39] Austin_: "a normal person" [01:39] ac7ss, thanks a lot. I've put learn a lot more about how ubuntu works on my list. Even how a driver works, on the way to learning how to write one. [01:39] coz_: my intrepid got all freaky yesterday, when I came here they told me to install lucid or a newer version. But since I don't have a CD for lucid, I had to start at intrepid and do the upgrades. Now it's not working. yay. [01:39] guedesav, sorry I didnt see that ,,, i dont know if there is a new driver in .deb format [01:39] drc I read it had to do with a delete line somewhere that had to be removed [01:39] guedesav, oooo that actually may be the issue then [01:40] nicholas_: was it in the menu (maybe installed and uninstalled earlier)? [01:40] coz_: ...really [01:40] guedesav, I 'never" suggest upgrading [01:40] Gah. [01:40] guedesav, it can cause more issues than it solves ... at times [01:40] Yow! flooding! [01:40] drc, I was once upon a time [01:40] guedesav: SiS cards are the worst supported graphics cards in linux by far. If you can change cards, do. [01:40] coz_: It's onboard. I don't think I can change it. [01:40] very true^^ [01:40] @ohsix Lol, I guess maybe I am normal after all. [01:40] drc, Google says it is a known issue s for your missing menu shortcuts, look for a Wine entry in /home//.config/menus/applications.menu. It should have a on the end of it like this: [01:40] Code: [01:40] wine-wine [01:40] /home//.local/share/desktop-directories [01:40] [01:40] nicholas_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:41] guedesav, do you have an agp or pcie slot on the system [01:41] oops sorry [01:41] nicholas_: I've seen this on my machine before, let me think on what I did to resolve this (it was a while ago) [01:41] IAMAgirl, Thats more ambitiious than me. I just write scripts and such. [01:41] SuparNoobie100: I don't know if there's something special with Macbooks, but I had trouble installing Ubuntu on a Mac mini, until installing a separate bootloader called rEFIt [01:42] So, no one is able to help me with this. I have a useless mic and headphones. [01:42] coz_: I never opened this thing, but it's a laptop. Also, I'd like to use my Ubuntu in less than a week, so unless you have any idea how I can get my lucid to work in text mode so I can at least try to install the driver I have, I'll go reformat my disk and reinstall intrepid on it so I can get back to using it normally like I did. [01:42] guedesav, and I think i deleted the last sis driver in .deb package I found [01:42] Azzy_112358, still here [01:42] Can anybody tell me if it's possible to minimize Evolution to the messaging menu? [01:42] SuparNoobie100: I don't have enough time right now to walk through making a USB drive that's bootable on an intel mac but it is possilbe and I will likely have time tomorrow. [01:42] Well, this is less than a nightmare than my old PC, with a Unichrome. [01:42] guedesav, ah darn,, this is going to be painful... can you back up the files you need and maybe download the minimal install cd which is only 12 megs and burn it/ [01:43] nicholas_: The second message in the link you posted was how I solved the problem. Make sure you back up the file or you may make your menu problem worse (experience :) [01:43] guedesav: Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [01:43] coz_: I can't burn cds. My CD driver is busted. PRoblem is, I think I had this same problem whn I installed 10.04 from a CD way back ago. [01:43] Jordan_U: I can't access Ubuntu at all, so I think not. [01:43] guedesav, ooo [01:43] Azzy_112358, If you dont mind someone asking stuff similar to "is it plugged in?" and going from there, tell me. [01:43] guedesav: to get to text mode you might try f2 and to return to graphics if it worked f7 [01:43] hey guys.. I've been trying to find out why but network-manager and wicd are both broken on 10.10... I read somthing about it being broken by some update but I can't figure out what it is... basically it shows me the wireless networks and asks me to authenticate but just keeps aasking me for my password [01:43] guedesav: What happens when you try to boot? [01:43] sacarlson: No. The text mode is all flickery too. [01:43] drc I need step by step help on that one [01:43] It's okay [01:44] How do I back up the file ? [01:44] I've seen cases where those questions would fix the issue, you never know xD [01:44] guedesav: NVM, see it in scrollback. [01:44] Mooooo...... [01:44] guedesav: then boot the older kernel at boot time [01:44] guedesav: Try holding shift during boot to get the grub menu and select the recovery mode entry. [01:44] sacarllson: I tried, it didn't boot. I think 10.04 pretty much ruined them all. [01:44] nicholas_: that message gives you step by step [01:44] drc How do I back up? [01:45] guedesav: If you can get to a shell that way try "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" then reboot. [01:45] BTW, I just remembered the first time I installed Ubuntu here in this machine I had to do this "noapic nolapic" thing too. I'm pretty sure it was lucid now, that's why I settled with intrepid in the first place... [01:45] Im new to linux, how can i change owner permissions for my /home folder? I can view files but cant cut/copy/paste anything. [01:45] nicholas_: copy the file under a different name, like or whatever you want [01:45] greg__: what do you want to cut/copy/paste and why? [01:45] guedesav: I don't know how an install could mess up an older kernel text mode, you sure you tried f2 ? [01:45] drc iIt says to delete the but my menu is different [01:45] Jordan_U: if you scrollback you might find out that I already said even the text mode is flickery. [01:46] How do i find where is my eclipse/dropins directory? [01:46] sacarlson: yes. I tried ctrl alt F1 to F12. All flickering. [01:46] greg__, do you mean your /home or /home/USERNAME ?

[01:46] God, my website is all screwed up on Linux's firefox o.o [01:46] guedesav: on each of the kernal vesion you now have in grub2 menu? [01:46] nicholas_: pastebin your menu and give us the link [01:46] But Chrome got it back together. [01:46] Simple soundrecorder? Gonna rec somehting from the web..suggestions? [01:47] sacarlson: I don't remember the numbers, but they are the versions used from intrepid to lucid. [01:47] Do you think i can run ubuntu on my ibm thinkpad 755c? [01:47] How do i find where is my eclipse/dropins directory? [01:47] drc, how do I "pastebin" a menu? [01:47] BTW, right now I'm in Windows trying to find out what to do.

[01:47] Does anyone know of anything like TinyGrab for Linux? [01:47] Austin_, what specs [01:47] Anything? [01:47] greg__, when you try to copy paste in home are you getting an error dialog ? [01:48] Azzy_112358, anything what [01:48] lol [01:48] ac7ss, when I try to cut/copy/paste/ any file/folder to somewhere else the options on the right click context menu are greyed out [01:48] sacarlson: yes, it is there. Your point? [01:48] How do i find where is my eclipse/dropins directory? [01:48] nicholas_: the menu , the one that message said to edit [01:48] guedesav: I have personal, painfull, experience with SiS cards and I can probably get things working but I need to leave now. Will you be here tomorrow? [01:48] greg__, what is the target folder? [01:48] guedesav: well I can only asume you tried text mode in each [01:48] sl33k_, not sure but you can try to open your home directory then hit ctrl+h to show hidden files and look to see if there is a .eclipse folder [01:48] Please change to another color as i cant see your name when in yellow [01:48] drc One sec I have several lemme paste them [01:48] I was still hoping someone had an idea on why my sound stuff is limited to my builtin speakers... [01:48] Jordan_U: by tomorrow I'd like to get this solved once and for all, so if I don't get any progress here I'm going back to 8.04, support or no support. [01:49] 18 MB Ram *lol* 1.43 GB HDD *lol* some old processor that takes a while to work, [01:49] greg__, I am not making the color change. it is on your client. [01:49] Austin_, then no [01:49] sacarlson: did you see my last msg [01:49] sacarlson: yep. IF you want I can try them all again with "noapic nolapic", since I'm not sure I did that [01:49] lol, I know. [01:49] greg__, what size hard drive do you have on that system? [01:49] Austin_, so why ask [01:49] sorry, I meant 8.10 [01:49] fun [01:49] small talk, really. [01:49] ac7ss, just another folder in my /home folder. IE move a file from say documents to letters [01:49] Austin_, this is support; chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [01:50] guedesav: 8.04 is still (just barely) supported since it's an LTS release. [01:50] pssalman: no I looked back two pages and see nothing [01:50] greg__, /home is not your home, it is where user home directorys are located. Your home directory would be /home/greg__/ [01:50] drc, Here is my screen shot http://imagebin.org/144634 what should i open and edit ? [01:50] Jordan_U: yea, but I don't think a lot of the software I used will work with the old versions of the packages. [01:50] nice screen shot [01:51] Well, I'm going to try booting all the kernels again. Maybe they've decided to work all of a sudden. [01:51] ... [01:51] guedesav: There's likely many more backported packages for 8.04 than 8.10. [01:51] Oh. right. [01:51] sacarlson: this is the ifconfig when disconnected from internet... [01:51] greg__, and if you try drag and drop do you get an error [01:51] sacarlson: ifconfig [01:51] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:c0:e9:67:f0 [01:51] inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [01:51] inet6 addr: fe80::21c:c0ff:fee9:67f0/64 Scope:Link [01:51] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [01:51] pssalman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:55] Whatever [01:56] I'm on ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, running firefox 3.6.5. I installed firefox 4.0 from the PPA. I'm pretty happy with it, but reluctant to uninstall 3.6.5 just yet. However, various apps (gnome terminal, empathy) still start up firefox 3.6.5 when I click on a URL. How do I change this? [01:56] sacarlson: thanks... and for the file u asked me about it only returned my dns and they were google public dns since i configured my router to use them [01:56] chmk: you can recover files from a broken hddisk, I would have to search for the tools === Austin_ is now known as Eagle_I [01:56] problem using the external drive [01:56] total 20??? [01:56] it is keep on disconnecting.. [01:56] Well, Windows manages to get my jack working, and stuff, so. [01:56] I'm trying an update [01:56] greg__, what file browser are you using? are you 'drag and drop' or right clicking the item? [01:56] Maybe that will make this work. [01:56] I have an acer 8920g - just installed 10.10 I have sound 5.1 but no mic, it doesn't seem to be found? [01:57] nicholas_: open that file (applications menu) in an editor, find/search for wine-wine (it should be close to the top)...left me know when you found it [01:57] sacarlson, I would appreciate it very much, since I can't seem to find anything [01:57] pssalman: ok and the last info route [01:57] So is it true that ubuntu 11.04 will only be unity? [01:57] with upstart why can't I stop mysql by typing 'stop mysql', it says I need to provide a job or process id, isn't mysql a job name? [01:57] triunity, no [01:57] ac7ss, The browser is just the standard one in Ubuntu (Nautilus?) and yes, Im right clicking [01:58] drc, wine-wine [01:58] @coz The interwebz keeps saying so... [01:58] triunity, you will have the options at login /session to use unity desktop...classic gnome...or classic gnome ( nor effects) [01:58] try a 'drag and drop' [01:58] triunity: the blogosphere is not known for its accuracy. [01:58] triunity, that is (no effects) [01:58] triunity, #ubuntu+1 for natty support and discussion [01:58] The is true.. [01:59] triunity, yes if you go to #ubuntu+1 channel ...you can discuss your concerns , etc [01:59] chmk: here are some tools to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [01:59] Ok, because my laptop used to run unity, i don't like it... I would hate to have to find a new distro to call home... [01:59] Thanks for the info! [01:59] triunity, where you type here type /join #ubuntu+1 [02:00] nicholas_: there are 2 lines in that menu item that say ...delete ONLY those two lines, save and close the file.

Like just a scroll? [02:13] nikkii: yes u do [02:13] lanclin: what do u need? [02:13] lanclin, Yes, but first read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [02:13] sure - [02:13] nicholas_: that sounds like the server is down try later, if it wasn't a ppa you could try another mirror site but in this case that may not be an option [02:13] help would be much appreciated ... i'd like to set the resolution when connected via hdmi to 1366x768 ,,, right now it's only lets me select 720 and 1080 ... which look horribleon this tv [02:14] greg__, I am not so good at network sharing. [02:14] okay, i'm gonna take it to the forums. Thanks for all the help and good intentions o [02:14] sacarlson, It has been going on on and off for weeks [02:14] anyone? [02:15] ac7ss, Thanks anyway :-) [02:15] nicholas_: well you don't need to upgrade every day if it worked a few weeks ago it probly about the same [02:15] How do i find out the device name [02:16] sacarlson, I must say I am a lot less paranois about updating than on windows [02:16] sacarlson, BTW do I need an antivrus ? A firewall ? [02:16] when I type df -h, it is not picking up like /sdb1 or something [02:16] is there ANY way to get unity to work in virtual box? [02:16] lanclin: try mount [02:16] nicholas_: I only update when I need to, if a new feature I see can be added. notice many people here are here because they upgraded [02:17] dev/sdb1 on /media/Lance type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) [02:17] this is the output [02:17] sacarlson, And my question about antivirus and firewall? [02:17] mmiller235, Just install unity? [02:18] edbian, no because unity refuses to run [02:18] edbian it keeps throwing up errors and then crashing [02:18] nicholas_: don't need them, firewall is only needed if you have other nodes in you network that you want to have access to differnet things [02:18] lanclin: the device is sdb1 [02:18] mmiller235, mmm, I've never tried something like that. I'm afraid I can't offer any help! [02:18] sacarlson, Merci [02:18] okay.. [02:18] nicholas_: and virus in linux I have never seen one [02:18] lanclin: did u want to add that drive to the fstab? [02:19] Yes .. [02:19] yup, I log in, unity tries to start up, an then crashes [02:19] francesc1, His issue is that the drive keeps randomly unmounting. I told him to put it in fstab so that it remounts automatically [02:19] nicholas_: instead of a firewall just close the open services on your system you don't want, see sudo netstat -pant to see what port you listen to and close what you don't need [02:20] edbian: ooo okay .. didnt see that part... that is weird that it just unmounts ... but wouldnt a mount -a solve it === Guest59984 is now known as ok_wait [02:20] francesc1, mount -a will say 'no such device in fstab' for the external. [02:21] francesc1, I think the external hdd is going into powersave mode and therefore is unmounting [02:21] nicholas_: do you have a ppa for plaxx in your package manager? [02:21] nicholas_, I update all the time. (Security usually. but sticking with the LTS on the server.) Only here to help. [02:21] edbian: i apologize... i thought it was already in the fstab ... yea .. that is a very good possibility for it unmounting [02:22] hi all :) is there a way to identify a linux operating system without actually booting it? [02:22] drc how do I find out? [02:22] francesc1, No need to apologize. Really lanclin should be telling you all this [02:22] edbian: lol that s for sure [02:22] Sorry.. I really wanted to create the entry in fstab [02:22] lanclin, Did you create something? [02:23] Not yet.. [02:23] nicholas_: System>Admin>Package Manager>Settings> Repos>Other Software Look in there [02:23] drc http://ppa.launchpad.net/plaxx/random-fixes/ubuntu [02:24] can i create like this /dev/sdb1 /media/lance and then.. [02:24] drc thats what I have [02:24] where could i find the folder /eclipse/dropins? [02:24] lanclin, That's the general idea. [02:24] nicholas_: I'd delete it, reload and try updating again [02:24] sl33k_: locate dropins [02:24] lanclin, So far so good (better not be guessing on the /dev/sdb1 part!) [02:25] what was offtopic channel again? [02:25] nicholas_: I'll bet that ppa (on lucid) is not valid anymore...just a guess [02:25] drc bingo [02:25] when I typed mount - I found /dev/sdb1 [02:25] Eagle_I: #ubuntu-offtopic [02:25] Ah. Should've guessed.

[02:27] boomtnt, to hide yours or suppress the others. [02:27] I'm playing around with a voting website and everytime it reconnects its a new vote.

[02:28] when I opened up the /etc/fstab - entries like this way.. [02:28] nathrite, wget will register as refreshing the page. Refreshing just means downloading the html and other files.

I'm scared to downgrade!! [02:44] _antant: What are you booting from? Did you create a usb bootabl or install to a usb hard drive? [02:44] <_antant> bootable usb made in windows [02:44] jamie4: just make sure it's got gnome3 before you decide if that's your killer feature [02:44] what did u use to make it [02:44] jamie4: I have to say from personal experience that fedora might be better than ubuntu [02:45] <_antant> the live usb maker [02:45] soreau: can you extend ext4 partitions like that no problem? the system is a windows/linux dual boot [02:45] mister_m: Yes, just boot a live session and start sys>admin>gparted, so no partition on the drive are in use [02:45] soreau, this is my first time with rpm/yum and of course its broken, it's in alpha, so it's a bad experience (my first .deb was great, and I've been using deb derivatives almost exclusively for a few years now) [02:46] _antant: You might want to try again or use a different method to create the usb stick [02:46] _antant: check the md5sum for the image you're using [02:46] _antant, try tying 'help' on the BOOT prompt then pressing enter. [02:47] jamie4: Of coure, this channel isn't the place to discuss rpm/yum/fedora [02:47] I kinda messed up my window managers, I was playing around with compiz, metacity and kwin.

[02:48] soreau, sry, just pointing out that I'm a fan of .deb and why not go where the most support is, i.e. Ubuntu [02:48] chaorain, compiz --replace& (or just log out and back in) [02:48] hi guys [02:48] chaorain, basic ubuntu is gnome. [02:48] soreau, gnome. I want to use it with compiz [02:48] I configured samba to share my /var/www in my local network, but when I access \\ubuntu, nothing shows up... whats next? [02:49] chaorain: What happens when you log in? [02:49] chaorain: Try edbian [02:49] chaorain: Try edbian's suggestion and see if that doesn't start compiz [02:50] soreau: I go into gnome an error gets thrown about kwin, it loads gnome with no top bar (min/maximize & close) === Logan_ is now known as luster [02:50] chaorain, What do you mean you 'go into gnome'? === luster is now known as Logan_ [02:50] what happens when I run `make` as root? [02:51] aroman: the object files and link bins will belong to root:root [02:51] chaorain: Try 'metacity --replace & disown' [02:51] will "libcurl3-gnutls " contain header files for libcurl? [02:51] edbian: log in, I assume [02:51] soreau, I've rebooted several times [02:51] sacarlson: and what would that affect? === Logan_ is now known as Logan[lazy] [02:51] chaorain: Can you get to a terminal? [02:52] aroman: a thousand kittens die [02:52] soreau: yes [02:52] chaorain: From your terminal, try 'metacity --replace' to get the default gnome wm running [02:52] chaorain, sudo apt-get remove kwin [02:52] aroman: well depends on who you want to be able to run delete manipulate the files, normaly when the files end up being installed to the sytem the become belonging to root anyway unless you compile and install to your local/bin [02:53] edbian: Can't all the packages just live happily together? ;) [02:53] sacarlson: alright. Suppose I have run make a root, how do I reverse the change? [02:53] soreau, You'd think! [02:53] ok, removing packages and such, back in a min [02:54] aroman: sudo make clean; make [02:54] aroman: chown the directory to your user again? [02:54] edbian: Alas, not so easy ;) [02:54] hi, can I ask a question? [02:54] vhdl, ubuntu support? [02:54] vhdl: I told you once already.. [02:54] ! ask | vhdl [02:55] sacarlson: soreau: re-running make after clean gives me this: config.status: gdk/gdkconfig.h is unchanged [02:55] echo timestamp > stamp-gc-h [02:55] /bin/bash: stamp-gc-h: Permission denied [02:55] can somebody help me with a question? [02:55] Joe___, ask first [02:55] aroman: What is the directory you're in? Use 'sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/src/dir/' as your normal user [02:55] Does anyone know how or where i can update my english dictionary? The more and more i use it for spell check, the more i realize that it doesn't really work very well. [02:56] meowsus: elaborate [02:56] aroman: ok and now who owns the bin file? or lib [02:56] soreau: oh I see now [02:56] aroman: I am hoping you will ;) [02:56] soreau: ls -lah reveals all [02:56] indeed [02:57] woot, working correctly now [02:57] :) [02:57] * aroman is compiling gtk+ from source [02:57] oh lord [02:57] IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/aroman/.cache/g-ir-scanner/0c8dcaa7ab6bbaf96e9cb2e0f57c58bef57fb3ac' [02:57] what on earth is that?

[02:57] aroman: As you normal user: sudo chown -r $USER $HOME [02:57] aroman: As you normal user: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME [02:58] soreau: oh, it's more root owned stuff [02:58] aroman: As your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME [02:58] Joe___, sounds like there is no WM loaded. [02:58] Should have typed it right the first time :P [02:58] BUGGER! I killed compiz and Metacity, big time. no panels [02:58] tell me how to load WM [02:58] Joe___, something like that you will want a small WM, like flux or ice. [02:58] I'm able to get to a terminal still [02:59] Joe___: chaorain: Try matacity --replace [02:59] !panels > chaorain [02:59] chaorain, please see my private message [02:59] soreau, I guess i since i've been using Ubuntu solely for the last 3 years, i've noticed that the spell checking support is more lacking than in MS Windows. I was wondering if it was a dictionary issue and if i could just update ubuntu to use a better, more univeral spell checking dictionary [02:59] case-in-point "univeral" [02:59] aroman: if your not experienced with compiling I think gtk+ isn't a good place to start [02:59] meowsus: For me, aspell checking in xchat is at least superior.. which app are you reviewing? [02:59] sorry. ive never used linux before...could you step me through the process [03:00] soreau, Hahaha, actually, i just realized that as i was trying to come up with examples. [03:00] Joe___, do you have a terminal window on the screen? [03:00] I guess in chrome and firefox mostly is where i see the most problems [03:00] Joe___: First, see if you can move windows with Alt+Drag or if a dialog box pops up when you do Alt+F2 [03:00] sacarlson: gotta learn somewhere. But gtk+ compiles fine, i accidentally compiled as root, which is why I'm here [03:00] had to pass the no introspection flag first, though [03:01] aroman: true start somewhere you must but many apps depend on gtk+ so if you break that you break many things, [03:01] sacarlson: well that's kind of why I'm installing it [03:01] i'm writing an app in gtk3 :) [03:01] aroman: General rule of thumb: you should be able to compile anything as user (provided the user owns the src dir) but should use root when installing (to a perfix the user doesnt own, like standard /usr ) [03:02] So i guess my question would be is there a way to make aspell the universal spell checking application for my system? Or tell specific programs to say "to hell with this spellcheck dictionary, I want 'aspell!'" [03:02] aroman: can't you use the repository for gtk3? [03:02] yeah that much I've got [03:02] yeah. everything is running in the background. i can get a terminal window open. [03:02] sacarlson: I could for this project, but there is another program that I'd like to run that depends on the latest gtk3 [03:02] aroman: oh you not compiling the lib but you app that links to gtk+ [03:02] sacarlson: I'm wanting to compile against the gtk3 devel headers, yes. [03:02] sacarlson: That's what I gathered ;) [03:02] hello friends [03:03] aroman: I would think gtk3 should be avalable on the ppa [03:03] hi researchewr123 [03:03] I cant login .Please help [03:03] Joe___, 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox' [03:03] researchewr123: login to what?

[03:03] cant login to to ubuntu 10.10 [03:03] ac7ss: fluxbox isn't going to work any better than metacity [03:03] researchewr123, why not? did you forget your password?

I had grub2 and everything with single OS so I decided to add xp for the dual boot because I needed some software but after I installed Xp it automatically goes to boot xp without even asking me if I want ubuntu. Basically Xp partition became a boot partition. I logged from live cd and changed boot partition back to the ubuntu partition with Gparted and when I restarted it hanged at blinking "_" doing nothing. I need h [03:07] elp please, I have everything on my Ubuntu and I can not tolerate loosing it so how would I possibly boot and make my Ubuntu Partition as a default boot partition because that is where my Grub2 is [03:08] what would cause Gnome not to load like this? do i not have enough ram? [03:08] .undernet.org [03:08] researchewr123: It could be that X is crashing. Is there any way you can get to a terminal?

[03:09] ubuntu, if you did the partitioning correctly your ubuntu install should still be there but you have to make grub start up on boot and have it chain the xp boot loader [03:09] can someone help me with step by step direction to fix my wireless connecton?

[03:09] ubuntu: you need to reinstall Grub (as stated.) Best to install XP first on a dual-boot setup, but you should be able to reinstall Grub (though I have never done it that way.)

[03:34] nit-wit ok sek [03:34] lasha: have you deleted your other bootloader by any chance? === jarvis_ is now known as dougpiston [03:34] lasha, xp has to have the bootflag [03:34] Docfxit, you need to migrate some of those files in /media that is too small of a drive. (I have thumb drives larger than that.) [03:34] nit-wit thank you man you are my hero, it wrote that it detected xp ! [03:34] ac7ss I will run it again to see if it will tell me. [03:34] nit-wit thank you so much my 4 hours of horror just ended [03:35] lasha, others helped we all do it . [03:35] researchewr123: Still looks ok, not sure what is going wrong [03:35] ok thank you guys very much :) [03:35] soreau: how do I reach the folder from which u want me to paste log [03:35] Docfxit: look into /media, that seems to be your space hogger, are you sure that it only contains mounted devices? [03:36] researchewr123: You have to mount the root file system from the ubuntu install o the hard drive [03:36] to* [03:36] on* [03:36] soreau: how to do that [03:36] ! mount | researchewr123 [03:36] researchewr123: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [03:37] soreau: ok.im trying [03:37] ac7ss Media is not being used. It's a dual boot. That partition is Windows XP [03:37] Hey guys do you have made the flash player "square" work in Lucid 10.04 with firefox 4 on a 64 bits system? It does not seem to work for me and the flash plugin for 32 bit is very glitchy for me to the point of unusability. [03:38] how do i set a script to run at shut down time? [03:39] soreau: when I typed the mount command in terminal I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/584607/ [03:40] Docfxit, according to what you posted, /media is the biggest user. [03:40] Aginor It looks like Media only contains mounted devices. I don't see any of Ubuntu there. [03:40] Docfxit, what does df report? (post to pastbin.) [03:40] Anyone know if there is a syslog-ng-3 package/repo for 8.04 LTS [03:41] all i can find is a git for the source but git doesn't install any execuable called git [03:41] !info git-core [03:41] git-core (source: git): fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (obsolete). In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.7.1-1.1ubuntu0.1 (maverick), package size 1 kB, installed size 28 kB [03:41] is the package name in hardy, later changed to 'git', hence it being obsolete in maverick [03:43] Hello [03:43] ac7ss Here is df report http://pastebin.com/2qSUUFwB [03:45] hi, can I ask a question? [03:45] vhdl, yes [03:46] Docfxit, looks like the biggest thing is in /var [03:46] rww: this is relevant to 8.04LTS?

[03:50] ac7ss I just deleted a 600M file. This link shows what is in var now. http://pastebin.com/Nb5PN0wW [03:51] when using the sudo cryptdisks_start data command if i enter the wrong passphrase how may i reattempt to enter the correct one? [03:52] Docfxit, looks like the /var/spool/asterisk/monitor directory is what is filling it. check its contents (delete old wav files) and check your asterisk config. [03:53] how would i make a shortcut on my top panel to launch a java application?? [03:55] Thanks. [03:55] glitchd: make an item in the menu to run the command to execute the right stuff (make a script if needed). Then right click it and click 'add to panel' [03:56] Algum brasileiro ???

[03:56] ActionParsnip, im not sure how to do that, i jus want a shortcut on my panel so i dont have to go to the folder each time i want to launch it [03:56] !pl [03:56] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [03:56] lol [03:57] Hi, I'm having an issue with my internet connection in Ubuntu. It is *very* slow. When I boot to Windows on exactly the same machine, internet is very fast. [03:57] For example, time host www.google.com shows me almost 2 seconds! [03:57] anyone know why 'apt-get search --installed' doesn't search only installed packages? how do you do that [03:57] apt-cache i mean [03:57] bfreis, I had a similar problem, then I changed to google's public DNS, and it was fixed. [03:57] hi, can I ask a question? [03:57] is there a way to resize the root partition while logged in? [03:57] htat, I'm already using google's public dns [03:58] htat I've already tried other dns servers, it is always the same thing! === nicholas_ is now known as t-boxmy === t-boxmy is now known as tboxmy [03:58] i made it too small on a netbook, and the nb doesn't have a cd drive [03:58] policyq, Perhaps the cache has been cleared? [03:58] and i have no other way to run a boot disk or anything. [03:58] so how to rebuild it [03:58] no external cd drives [03:58] bfreis, are you sure it isn't looking for IPv6 first? That is the other possible problem [03:58] policyq: that is not what that command does, see dpkg [03:58] htat, I've seen suggestions to disable IPv6, I've tried that as well, but the connection is still slow [03:58] superbob: as long as the partition is unmounted you can resize, obviously the system partition needs to be mounted to be used, so no. use a live cd / usb [03:59] htat, currently, IPv6 is disabled [03:59] when i do a search, it shows all packages. i read the man page, and apt-cache doesn't give any error using --installed with search so i thought it should work [03:59] is the app in JAR file? [03:59] glitchd: do you simply double click the jar file? [03:59] bfreis: have you looked at the mtu? [03:59] might be that it's too high in linux and lower in windows [03:59] superbob, resize2fs can do it. [03:59] ActionParsnip: that's what I'm saying... i have no cd drive and no usb stick... is there anything else i can do? [04:00] Aginor, no, do you have any links explaining what should I try? [04:00] ac7ss: is it risky? [04:00] : Ta ai parceiro [04:00] ActionParsnip, i just figured it out, i wasnt putting the correct slash before the space. [04:00] superbob: netboot to a pxe server on your lan, grab an SD card, ANYTHING will do [04:00] ActionParsnip, thx anyways man, i appreciate the intended help [04:00] glitchd: smooth :) [04:00] ActionParsnip, adios bud [04:00] glitchd: you got the gold, that's all we need [04:00] ubottu: Ta ai ??? [04:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:00] superbob, Yes, always. backup data first. (use a live usb helps as well.) [04:00] ActionParsnip, indeed thx again=) [04:01] ActionParsnip: where would I go to install a gparted boot disk on an SD card? [04:01] superbob, I have not lost data doing a resize yet. YMMV [04:01] heya [04:01] how do I change the empathy IM theme? [04:02] bfreis: I only have about 10 minutes until I need to leave, not sure I will have time to help you, it might also not be the issue [04:02] policyq: you interpreted the man page incorrectly, try "dpkg --get-selections" [04:02] Aginor, ok [04:02] can I run ubuntu on a nokia flip phone? [04:02] ac7ss: cool. I'll use that as a last option if I can't get the SD card thing to work...... [04:02] Aginor, I've found something on MTU, I will try that [04:02] (thanks guys) [04:02] bfreis: how do know what your problem is? [04:02] bfreis: by pinging? [04:03] bfreis: because if that's how you find out, mtu wont change it [04:03] Aginor, I don't know what the problem is, I just know the symptom: internet is very slow, and time host www.google.com takes forever (almost 2 seconds!) [04:03] superbob, Backing up is ALWAYS a good idea when messing with the partitions. [04:03] Aginor, I've tried disabling IPv6 (it is currently disabled), but the it is still slow [04:03] ac7ss: agreed... if i had a way to do it!! [04:03] bfreis: so it's only while doing dns lookups? [04:04] Aginor, it looks like that [04:04] bfreis: or what's your latency when you actually ping google.com? [04:04] Aginor, latency is good (around 10ms) [04:04] Aginor, download speed is good as well (from the Ubuntu mirrors closest to my home, I download at about 2MB/p (with a 20Mbps connection)) [04:04] superbob, tarball it and place on a i-net host if all else fails. (a few around for temp storage.) [04:04] bfreis: so, does /etc/resolv.conf look like what you expect it to? [04:05] good idea. thx [04:05] Aginor, yes, it lists nameserver 8.8.8.8, google's public dns [04:05] ActionParsnip: I'm looking for a way to install gparted to SD, not seeing anything (googling, etc) [04:05] bfreis: and that's what you use in windows as well? [04:06] Aginor, yes, exactly the same [04:06] superbob, should work like any usb drive. [04:06] bfreis: and why don't you use one of your ISP's DNS servers? [04:06] how can i find out if ia32-libs is installed? [04:06] ac7ss: so this should work? http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2833298/how_to_install_gparted_on_a_usb_flash.html [04:06] bfreis: and pinging that ip is fine? - and you only have one server configured? [04:07] Aginor, I've got 8.8.4.4 configured as well (google's secondary public dns) [04:07] superbob, it should work. the netbook sees it as a usb I believe. [04:07] Aginor, pinging 8.8.8.8 gives me 10ms [04:07] gotcha. cool, thanks ac7ss [04:08] bfreis: does "host -v www.google.com" give you anything interesting? [04:08] bfreis: and how do you connect to the Internet? [04:08] brophat: You can look it up in synaptic or at the terminal do$dpkg --get-selections | grep ia32-libs [04:09] superbob: there is a gparted live cd with just gparted and you can use unetbootin to make the bootable SD. If you still have your Ubuntu ISO then you can use that too [04:09] what is a ubi installer [04:09] c001: do you mean wubi? [04:09] Aginor, it looks alright [04:10] raido it said do: command not found [04:10] hi, can I ask a question? [04:10] brophat: do everything after $ [04:10] vhdl, a real question, sure [04:10] brophat: dont include do$ [04:11] oh ok bwshhahaha [04:11] raido it returned "ia32-libs install" [04:12] does that mean it is installed? or does it mean i have yet to install it [04:12] brophat: then you have it [04:12] ok [04:12] bfreis: how long did it take according to the last line? :D [04:12] brophat: You could also do "apt-get install ia32-libs" and it will tell you you already have it [04:13] raido: that'll need sudo ;) [04:13] raido i will try that [04:13] Aginor, actually, quite fast right now, strange [04:13] brophat: see^^^ what ActionParsnip said [04:13] ok.... dumb question.... i'm sleepy, or i'd remember how to do this: how can I check which /dev/XXXX is the one for the SD card [04:13] obviously it's not sda1 :D [04:14] Aginor, maybe it has been cached? [04:14] might it be /dev/mmcblck0p1? [04:14] Aginor, I've tried another host, that I've never tried before [04:14] Aginor, it took very long [04:14] superbob, that could be it. [04:14] Aginor, almost 2 seconds again [04:15] try a 'df' and see if it is the right size. [04:15] thanks [04:15] there we go! thanks ac7ss [04:16] raido that apt-get said it said "ia32-libs is already the newest version" whatever that means [04:16] is that ubuntu's way of saying already there? [04:16] brophat: i don't think it can be made any clearer really... [04:16] Docfxit, how is it going? [04:16] brophat: yes [04:16] brophat: yep your good to go [04:16] sorry bfreis, my time is up [04:16] bfreis: I'll be back later though [04:16] Aginor, ok, thanks for your help! [04:16] can I run ubuntu on a nokia flip phone? [04:16] bfreis: but try a different dns server [04:16] Aginor, ok [04:17] vhdl, no [04:17] Aginor, well, I will leave soon. It's late here, 1AM [04:17] Aginor, thanks again [04:18] vhdl: what cpu does it have?

[04:23] is there a way to just execute wubi without any interaction [04:24] Avetec: it can but your release is no longer supported [04:24] rebirth: you don't need a script just create a cron event to do it [04:24] !eol | Avetec [04:24] Avetec: 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.

[04:50] besides, it did absolutely nothing when i tried to connect [04:51] Starminn: yeah, i'm running ubuntu server 10.04, and i want to install the security updates only [04:51] ruan yes where you choose between windows and linux [04:51] i want it to default to linux not windows [04:51] or blow windows away and just boot off linux. [04:52] mocha0range: I believe it's just << sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade >> ("update" brings everything to get the most recent versions, "upgrade" upgrades everything to that newest version.) [04:52] mocha0range: only way I know it can be done is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out all but the security lines [04:52] mocha0range: just make sure your sources include *-security, and none of the -proposed or -backports ones [04:52] c001: to just boot off linux you'll need to do a proper install [04:52] mocha0range: look at /etc/apt/sources.list [04:52] c001: since wubi install depends on windows [04:52] !wubi [04:52] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [04:52] mocha0range: Ah. Disregard my statement. I thought you were speaking of something slightly different [04:52] c001, you'll need to migrate wubi to it's own partition for that and set up grub as the default bootloader [04:53] wubi works off of a .disk file [04:54] c001, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 [04:54] Is it possible to prevent ubuntu from locking the screen automatically? [04:54] if it matters, there appeared to be a power failure at the same time eth0 failed [04:55] jrmcm, screensaver and powersave options [04:55] sadly my UPS doesn't have enough space at the moment for my connection [04:55] jrmcm: just disabling it alltogether; but if you want to toggle it, you can add the inhibit applet to the panel [04:55] jrmcm: look in power settings, there is also a button to edit screensaver settings there [04:56] depenguin: I am interested in installing linux on a remote system from the windows desktop via rdp and have it default to linux at bootup [04:56] hi guys. [04:56] is pendrivelinux available for linux? i can find its .exe download only [04:56] help [04:56] so i won't be able to first initially boot into linux to do those things [04:56] !usb [04:56] 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 [04:56] Abhijit: there is unetbootin for Linux [04:56] I can open compiz,glxinfo | grep direct show http://paste.ubuntu.com/584628/ [04:56] ActionParsnip, i want persistent install. not to burn iso. i want full installation. [04:56] hey there, im trying to help a friend out with his first time in ubuntu. anyone know if ubuntu comes with a program like wgetpaste or pastebinit? [04:57] Abhijit: then just install it to the drive like a regular disk from a livecd [04:57] ohsix, i tried. it dont work. [04:57] Abhijit: check the second link - persistent usb install [04:57] Thanks all, this has been frustrating me for awhile. I didn't know it was the screen saver [04:57] w4m [04:57] SuspectZero: it doesn't come with pastebinit, but pastebinit is in the repositories. [04:57] Abhijit: go for puppylinux its better than pen drivelinux [04:57] ohsix, i install software and when i reboot that software is not there ActionParsnip ruan thauriswulfa [04:57] thauriswulfa, but i dont like its look!!! :-p [04:58] Abhijit: that wasn't a regular install then [04:58] rww, kk thanks === cactuar is now known as svm_invictvs [04:58] Abhijit: latest release has xfce [04:58] ohsix, i have iso file and i have one pen drive. how should i install this iso to pen drive? i dont have blank cd! [04:58] thauriswulfa, ok will try it! [04:59] c001, i have exactly 0 experience with RDP, does it give you drive access, or is it client side? [04:59] Abhijit: i'd use a virtual machine [04:59] ohsix, i want pen drive. [04:59] think real hard [04:59] ohsix, to be able to boot college ocmputer and my home computer as well. [04:59] thats where you are remotely connected to the windows box [04:59] ohsix, you think real practical!!! :-p [04:59] you boot the cd as an image with a virtual machine, then install it to the flash [04:59] how can i take my virtual machine to college? [05:00] so once you reboot to that menu to choose between windows and linux, you've lost your connection. [05:00] ohsix, virtualbox dont support usb booting! [05:00] you make me angry, good luck [05:01] ohsix, thank you. [05:01] Abhijit: Boot the vbox from the iso then install to the usb [05:01] c001, there's a way to edit the windows bootloader from windows itself, just can't remember it off the top of my head [05:02] c001, i'd just say make ubuntu the default option with a short timeout [05:02] can i mount a disk in portable ubuntu and get it unmounted in windows? [05:03] portable ubuntu? [05:04] DaPenguin: i don't see that option in the ubuntu installer before it loads [05:04] Blue1: yes the sf project which alows you to run ubuntu on windows using colinux [05:04] c001, you're using wubi right? or am I getting my channels crossed? [05:04] J11: windows doesnt deal with linux device names [05:04] J11: new one on me. [05:05] if I wanna setup a RAID with md0p1 and md0p2 using gpt, would I also have to setup a partition table on top of it using the md device? is that a good idea at all? [05:05] J11: do you mean....wubi by chance? [05:06] Saturn2888: You want to raid 2 partitions on the same physical disk? [05:06] Blue1: no i don't think it's the same: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableubuntu/ [05:06] Alrighty guys. Tricky question, possibly a bug, most likely my own fault. I installed xubuntu-desktop via the package manager and switched to that session (coming from normal ubuntu, v10.10)... When in there, I was suddenly booted to the login screen again - Now whenever I try open an xubuntu or xfce session it loads for a bit, flashes the terminal for half a second (too short to read anything) and kicks me back to the login screen [05:06] Any suggestions? [05:07] yes wubi [05:07] raido: naw [05:07] J11: wow. I must be behind the times. I had no idea this even existed. [05:07] DaPenguin: there is no option when you are installing it to default to linux before it loads the windows or linux menu [05:07] none that i know of [05:07] I wanna take two physical disks and raid one large partition on each so I end up with something I can create a /dev/md from [05:08] J11: so kinda like wine, but in reverse? iow run linux apps under windows? [05:08] Saturn2888: Yeah thats normal [05:08] c001, it's not done from the installer. you have to run the install, edit the bootloader before reboot from a windows app, then reboot [05:09] c001, think that should accomplish what you're after [05:09] Blue1: yes you get individual apps, although you get the ubuntu gnome'menu'bar at the top and the windows one on the bottom [05:10] i have a .deb driver file, what do i do to install it? [05:10] !deb [05:10] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [05:11] ubottu how about from terminal? [05:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:11] brophat sudo dpkg -i package.deb [05:11] J11: I'll have to play with that. but usually if the device isn't mounted first in the host os, you can't mount it in the guest os. so to answer your question - my experience with vbox anyway, is if you unmount it in the host os, it gets unmounted in the guest os. [05:11] ok thaks [05:12] Saturn2888: You threw me on md0p1 and md0p2, those would be the same disk, More likely it would be like md0p2 and md1p2 [05:12] oh oik [05:13] Im trying to mount and use a usb drive in a vbox, it shows on the host, but not in the vbox [05:13] well don't really need it mounted yet, as i need to copy linux partions from one disk to another usb disk and possibly i have to shrink it first or enlarge it later [05:13] hi, I set up Firestarter, DHCP and ICS inside Firstarter, I can connect to the DHCP server and get an IP, but can't access the internet [05:14] So, no ideas regarding xubuntu sessions kicking me straight back to the login manager? [05:14] <_antant> I'm having a massive fail with my nvidia card. It just sits on a purple screen when i try and boot [05:14] Rogan: Sounds like a problem with the Xserver. Did you install any new video drivers? [05:14] <_antant> if I delete my xorg.conf then I can at least boot in, but if I try and get a decent resolution no luck [05:14] <_antant> It's a fresh install [05:14] raido: nope, I'm not using different md devices. Either way, I have a question. I accidentally put two drives together in an md which shouldn't have gone together and already had data. How do I delete the md I created by accident? [05:14] Rogan: login on a terminal and check the permissions of ~/.ICEauthority [05:15] Blue1: maybe i just have to mess around in the portable_ubuntu.conf [05:15] _antant, might want to try the restricted driver for it [05:15] <_antant> I am [05:16] Saturn2888: Id have to read the man page myslef, I dont often user the linux raid tools [05:16] are there any wirless printers that works with 64 bit ubuntu? [05:16] <_antant> I'm living in one huge steaming pile of fail [05:16] raido: Nope, haven't installed any drivers. It let me in fine the first time, was playing with the desktop settings at the time it kicked me out first [05:16] brophat: Brother is well suppoerted, I have a nice MFC here myself. [05:16] raido: oh ok. Because I can't seem to get it to --remove it. --stop works fine. [05:16] what does MFC mean [05:16] ohsix: *noob* here, what's the check permission terminal command [05:17] ls -a [05:17] raido: --remove gives me no errors though [05:17] _antant, that's weird, I've usually had good luck with nvidia cards. ati ones are the only ones i've ever had give me trouble [05:17] brophat: Multi Function [05:17] ahh ok [05:17] brophat: print scan fax [05:17] <_antant> I swapped OUT an ati card [05:17] ls -l [05:17] yea that's the one [05:17] <_antant> and then I get this [05:17] Rogan: ls -l [05:17] oh, ls -l? I retard. [05:17] raido you got it running on ubuntu 64 bit with linux out of the box drivers? [05:17] _antant, what model card? [05:18] <_antant> GT210 [05:18] -rw------- 1 rogan rogan 3410 2011-03-24 07:33 /home/rogan/.ICEauthority [05:18] brophat: I think I had to get the drivers from Brother, but I think they did have 64 support [05:18] raido so you have it running on ubuntu 64? [05:18] brophat: Xerox is also well supported, we use them at wotk with 64 bit desktops [05:19] hi, I set up Firestarter, DHCP and ICS inside Firstarter, I can connect to the DHCP server and get an IP, but can't access the internet [05:19] brophat: indeed === administrator is now known as Guest75600 [05:19] ok so brother and xerox thanks [05:19] brophat: np [05:19] brophat: look at their support sites before you choose a model [05:20] _antant, http://askubuntu.com/questions/3024/good-nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu/3027#3027, may actually have to get the driver straight from nvidia [05:20] raido yeah for sure [05:20] <_antant> righty [05:20] <_antant> I'll give that a go, cheers pingu [05:20] _antant, ubuntu video drivers can lag behind a bit sometimes due to the testing process [05:21] Rogan: You may have corrupted some of your window manager files in your home dir [05:21] Rogan: Ive done that before [05:21] I need to access a usb drive from within a vbox. It shows up on the host machine but not on the vm [05:23] jrmcm: Which software are you using to run VMs (Vmware player/workstation, virtualbox, etc?) [05:23] raido: Alrighty, I'll ignore the fact that they got corrupted somehow in the first place... Reinstalling xubuntu-desktop going to be the simplest fix? [05:23] virtual box [05:23] hi, is twitter.com up or down? i can't connect since 2 hours ago. [05:23] do you have the virtual box tools installed? [05:24] Rogan: I always hate that solution, however if you are very noob then it may be the most efficient, but... [05:24] jrmcm: the "guest additions" [05:24] http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [05:24] physically_fit: ^^ [05:24] hi, is there any chinese? [05:24] Rogan: You can make a new user, then login as that new user and see if the WM is ok [05:25] Would trying to log into it as root work just aswell? I'm cool with a new user if not [05:25] Starminn, thanks. that site says that is up. it must be my DNS. [05:25] Rogan: do a new regular user, you can remove it later [05:26] Rogan: do you know how to do that? [05:26] <_skpl> hi [05:26] Hahaha, yea, I'm not disgustinly noob, just crap at memorising commands [05:27] Rogan: man -k [what you want to do] is your friend. [05:27] Rogan: ok, if that works, you can try overwriting you other users sfxe files with the new users and see if that works [05:27] is there a way to configure FTP (commandline) to connect to a server and upload files everynight using a cron or sometihng? [05:28] amh345, yes, or use rsync, or mount the ftp, or ..... [05:29] brb then, we shall see :) Thanks [05:29] ac7ss: ok, thank you. i shall begin my google jounry [05:29] journey, even [05:29] amh345: Something like this perhaps? http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/119510 [05:29] Linuxpwns: ok i have the guest additions, what now? [05:30] try to install the USB device through settings on virtualbox itself... [05:30] amh345, I use a mount and then r-sync. [05:30] Linuxpwns: can i also execute commandline script in this ftp txt file? [05:30] amh345: you can write a script (ftp can be scripted too) [05:30] amh345: I wouldn't see why not its a bash script [05:30] amh345: or mount the ftp then rsync as ac7ss says [05:31] what i need to do is 1)run a script to dump contents to a txt file, encrypt the txt file (gpg) and then upload it. im trying to put the pieces together. i've never done this before. [05:31] well in that case its macro..but you can use bash I suppose... i wouldn't see why not [05:32] Bingo, easy as that. Now where do xfce files live for this copying? :) [05:32] hi [05:32] amh345: Here's a very rudimentary way of automating the ftp process http://willcode4beer.com/tips.jsp?set=bashftp It all depends on which ftp software you use I guess. [05:32] amh345, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/, good bash scripting reference [05:32] amh345: have the ftp permanently mounted at boot using fstab [05:33] amh345, if it is a single file, use mput [05:33] ActionParsnip: Only disadvantage is your password will appear in clear text. Can you encrypt the file and still run in stealth? [05:33] can someone please help me to make my nvidia graphics card to work on Ubuntu10.10 [05:34] Linuxpwns: i guess, there may be ways around but it will need putting some place [05:34] Linuxpwns: another reason why ftp sucks [05:34] ActionParnship: Another reason to use a VPN [05:34] ruan: i have a 1gb ram netbook and a 6gb ram laptop . i would like to use netbook as thin client to laptop. is a ethernet cable a good option or a USB connector on both ends a better option === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [05:35] Linuxpwns: sftp + keys rather than ftp is much better ;) === darkdevil is now known as Guest94784 === Guest94784 is now known as Guest48150 [05:35] There is FTP with SSL but normal web browsers don't support FTPS [05:35] raido: Bingo, easy as that. Now where do xfce files live for this copying? :) [05:36] amh345, you won't have to load ftp, just 'mput filename ftp://host/directory' [05:36] how do I save a read only file in Terminal vi? [05:36] oops too late. [05:36] raido: I think I've got it thanks :) [05:36] Hodr: :w! [05:36] Hodr: :!w [05:37] hodr: :w filename (as a new file.) [05:37] rogan_: you will have to snoop around but they will all be in the home dir, but if the other user home dir is basically empty you could just copy everything over. [05:37] Hodr: I mistyped, it's :w! as SwedeMike said. [05:38] ActionParnship I suppose if the FTP is inside the perimeter firewall outside the DMZ where no public users would see the traffic I wouldn't see the harm in creating a bash file with clear text password. Most of the time your problem is on the inside anyways HAHA [05:38] thx [05:38] i have a 1gb ram netbook and a 6gb ram laptop . i would like to use netbook as thin client to laptop. is a ethernet cable a good option or a USB connector on both ends a better option [05:38] anyone there..kindly help me i am stuck from the last 3days... [05:38] so weird, my win7 shares .. sometimes get knocked out and requires a reboot of win7 for them to work again. It says something like "invalid ..." .. I forget what it says now, but I just noticed it did it again! Anyone ever experience this? [05:38] rogan_: some of them will be hidden too, so dont miss those [05:38] user1_: ethernet wil be easier to configure [05:39] ActionParsnip : can server and client have different OS? [05:39] what is the faster file system....ext4 ...jfs or xfs ?? [05:39] !nvidia | kalinga (not sure if this will help?) [05:39] kalinga (not sure if this will help?): For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:39] TheBuntu i think ext4 [05:39] user1_: sure, if the client is windows and you are using x forwarding then you will need to run xming [05:39] kalingaL Gives you something to read until somebody who can actually help comes along. [05:39] TheBuntu i never tried the others [05:39] ActionParsnip : and what if server is windows 7. [05:40] Any idea why ICS isn't working through Firestarter? [05:40] thanks ubottu and Starminn.. [05:40] I have achieved very high speeds with ext4 [05:41] user1_: then you can use rdesktop to connect to the desktop and use it thinly [05:41] cp /home/test/* /home/rogan/* going to do the trick? [05:41] Don't care about rogan's stoed home data [05:41] Just out of interest, has anyone else got really high write speeds with ext4 by manually matching the physical and logical blocks on your hdd? [05:41] user1_: obviously if you only have single license then it will lock the local desktop [05:42] ActionParsnip : ok but it won't be a network boot setup then? [05:42] rogan_: yeah, youll have to use sudo for that though and then do chown -R rogan:rogan /home/rogan [05:42] i still can't connect to twitter.com and i fixed my DNS. is it up for anyone of you? [05:43] physically_fit: It is fine on my end. [05:43] user1_: it can be if you run a pxe server on the windows side [05:43] rogan_: and you have to use -r with cp as well to copy recursively [05:43] how does one get into screen to choose what distro to load usually? [05:43] Linuxpwns, thanks [05:43] Had to use -r, seemed to work... But I did get "cp: will not overwrite just-created `/home/rogan/Videos/examples.desktop' with `/home/rogan/examples.desktop'" [05:43] How to install .jar files on ubuntu [05:43] ? [05:44] motaka2: open it with your java binary [05:44] hi, i had nginx running on port 80, i stopped it with /etc/init.d/nginx stop. I'm trying to start another server on port 80 but apparently it's still being used. netstat -ano | grep 80 doesn't show me any processes using it though. what gives? [05:44] rogan_: delete that anyway, you dont need it [05:45] i am trying to do last ubuntu update but keep getting this message how do i fix it Requires installation of untrusted packages [05:45] The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources. [05:45] ActionParsnip : what if i have a ubuntu via wubi inside windows there? [05:46] where is it the normal path for to instal apps in linux? [05:46] How do I disable the USB automount feature? [05:46] sparky44: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update Thanks [05:46] good morning [05:46] user1_: on which system? [05:46] ActionParsnip : on windows [05:46] motaka2, depends on the application. usually /bin or /usr/bin [05:46] actionparsnip thanks [05:47] ActionParsnip : on server [05:47] The deed is done, chowning and all, hopefully see you in a second and I'll be stoked :D [05:47] ro k [05:47] someone know the best way to install firefox 4 on ubuntu? [05:47] user1_: then you will need to reboot to get the ubuntu OS loaded... [05:47] physically_fit: Open terminal and run sudo gedit /etc/hosts .... Do you see 127.0.0.1 twitter.com ? [05:48] v3nom; one sec and ill send you a link [05:48] !firefox [05:48] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [05:48] thanks [05:48] user1_: you could virtualize an ubuntu install and have the client connect to that [05:48] ActionParsnip : cool. === rogan is now known as rogan_ [05:49] anyone know of widgets that will only show text/script for Time, Date, and weather (like making the opacity 0%)? [05:49] V3NOM, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [05:49] Linuxpwns, nope my hosts file is fine [05:49] V3NOM, sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0 [05:49] Surprisingly it didn't work raido [05:49] Must I uninstall firefox 3.6 before? [05:49] :( [05:49] user1_: you can then use vnc or x forwarding to have the app running on the server but show on the client. Win7 is a bad choice as the server OS dude, too constrictive [05:50] V3NOM: it'll upgrade it for you [05:50] please help me figure out why ICS is not working through Firestarter [05:50] But I'm sweet as with this user, so unless you've got a super urge to solve problems like an ocd thing (which I'd be willing to do) then I'll just use this guy and delete my old user [05:50] rogan_: ok, then since rogan had no real user files just remove him and delete the rogan home dir and remake him. [05:51] also for ubuntu 10.04? [05:51] Oh you cleverer then me! I shall do that! cheers mate, catch you round :) [05:51] Linuxpwns, brb [05:51] physically_fit: Do you have access to your default gateway of your router? [05:51] ActionParsnip : ahhh. it's windows 7 that i have. i think will get wubi and reboot. [05:51] rogan_: later, cheers [05:51] thanks i will try [05:52] Linux is a thing of beauty. [05:52] I keep getting "invalid argument" while copying to a win7 share.. WHY?

[05:54] brophat: ask in ##hardware [05:54] motaka2, how are you installing it? apt, untar ? [05:54] ActionParsnip they know about ubuntu there? [05:54] o [05:54] HELP: need help to install virtual box [05:55] don't worry [05:55] brophat: they will know good and inexpensive wireless cards there [05:55] thauriswulfa: use software centre [05:55] ActionParsnip : so mac wont support any other client other than thin ones [05:55] thauriswulfa: whats wrong?

[06:01] i don't have a usb stick or anything to install a copy of gparted on [06:01] superbob: Does it have an explicit option for booting from the SD card? [06:01] ac7ss and Linuxpwns don't worry for me, i think that my ISP is having problems because PING is replying but very slowly, and my router settings like the MTU can't handle the slow connection, that's my theory. i'll wait till tomorrow [06:01] Jordan_U: yeah [06:01] physically_fit: Open terminal, run: ping -i 1 -p 5 www.twitter.com Is your results 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received (100%)?

It must be network connectivity issues on your end with your router itself or ISp.

[06:03] user1_: sounds fine, you will need to use static IP, or install a dhcp server on the serving PC [06:03] Jordan_U: that might work. it's only a gig, though, would that work? [06:03] sparky44: no worries dude [06:03] ActionParsnip : ok thanks a lot [06:03] superbob: Yes. [06:03] sparky44: the app was running as your user which doesn't have write access to those folders [06:03] sweet. ok. i'm ready [06:04] superbob: What OS do you have to make the SD card from?

[06:05] actionparsnip: it has been doing that to me alot so when ever it says that should i just do what i just did? or should i not have any more trubles with it [06:06] SSShvh: what does the resolution reset to when you restart? (800x600)? [06:06] superbob: Good. Do you have an iso image of Ubuntu 10.10? [06:06] ActionParsnip: the instalation is finished, now I dont know how to run it !!

[06:08] motaka2: i'd check the app menu [06:09] I should probably get 32 bit right? [06:09] motaka2: or try typing part of it's name in terminal and pressing enter [06:09] ActionParsnip: what is the app menu ? [06:09] SSHvb: Open up Control Center and under Hardware click "monitors" [06:09] motaka2: at the top left, see the word "application", that.

[06:09] so i think it did [06:10] right. yeah, it is. though, i was thinking in terms of the card.... hm... it must be late! :) [06:10] sparky44: can you run: sudo apt-get update and pastebin the whole output please [06:10] how do i past bin?

[07:05] ActionParsnip: use the test call, how can I do it? [07:06] have to restart be right back [07:08] murphylan: its in the skype interface [07:08] yes [07:08] How can I have a command be executed once I am connected to the Internet. Meaning once I connect to wireless or wired, I want a command to be executed. I'm in Shanghai for a few months.. and various sites are blocked. So I just ssh tunnel to a server in California.. ssh -fND 1080 me@myserver.com; then I just use localhost:1080 on my browser/pidgin for a socks proxy. I don't want to type this ssh command everytime I start my computer though, I want it to [07:08] I'm not sure what the char limit is on this ircd, tell me if that was truncated.

[07:09] ActionParsnip: my skype is 'murphylan' [07:09] shatly: Is that your way of telling me it was truncated? [07:09] it eneded with i want it to [07:09] I want it to be executed as sooon as I am connected to the network. [07:10] I want the condition of the command to be dependent on a successful connection to the Internet. [07:10] you can add it to the startup script [07:10] ooo [07:10] on that hummm [07:10] right, but if I execute the command before I'm on the wireless, it will fail. [07:10] I don't want some random sleep timer, I want it to be quick. [07:11] you know, I turn on my computer, I want to brose right away.. I don't want to wait for sleep 10 or something. [07:12] murphylan: i don't use skype [07:12] I could modify the browser icon, so it executes the ssh command. [07:12] murphylan: the test call will enable you to test all aspects of sound [07:12] That seems like the best solution right now. [07:12] ActionParsnip: where is the test call? [07:13] JohnTeddy: could have a script pinging 8.8.8.8 and when it passes then you are connecteded and it can launch the browser then terminate [07:13] murphylan: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA265/How-can-I-make-a-test-call;jsessionid=840A0544A835A086433496D72E993FBB [07:14] murphylan: like I said; I DON'T use skype, all I did was websearch and I found that... [07:14] ActionParsnip: thanks [07:14] murphylan, if the regular test call doesn't work, right click on the tooltray icon and go to preferences/sound and there is a link to test audio there. [07:14] murphylan: you could have found it with a simple websearch too [07:15] hello [07:15] anyone here? [07:15] guicps89: Yes.

[07:20] ac7ss: ok, when your mike is fine, I will call you, thanks [07:20] Hi [07:20] shadghost: amarok runs fine in gnome [07:21] I am really impressed by the traditional chinese input method from 10.10, much better than the common chewing lib [07:21] murphylan, one moment, I will have my nokia up... [07:21] Kimmen: i know but people genarly install kde stuff in kde and gnome in gnome, but i use openbox [07:21] shadghost noone asked what you used [07:21] any one know if there is a way with out getting rid of the packages that are listed under "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [07:21] " [07:21] But I can't find exactly what is the name of that input method, I looked it up on synaptic and couldnt find anything [07:21] clad, ibus [07:22] pinyin? [07:22] No I mean the actual input method, not the software that makes it run [07:22] Nop, the bopomofo based one [07:22] ohsix, among others [07:22] shadghost: I know a guy called "man apt-get" and he knows about all kinds of stuff link that [07:22] ac7ss: which command to exit ubuntu server and restart it? [07:22] clad its called zhu yin [07:23] root____: cool it. If you're here to help, be helpful. [07:23] Yes but I mean, usually it uses the lib chewing [07:23] However Ubuntu is using another one and I can't figure out which [07:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus clad [07:24] some days it seems only newbies and trolls are here [07:24] linux_probe: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:24] welcome to the internets [07:24] This page isn't any help [07:25] Typing "ibus" in synaptic gives me the lib used to type simplified chinese in pinyin [07:25] But I can't seeem to see any lib related to the bopomofo based input method [07:26] shadghost, "sudo apt-get autoremove". check "apt-get --help" for an easy reference to the other options. [07:26] ibus-table-zhuyin clad [07:26] Nop it's not [07:26] murphylan, what do you mean by restart ubuntu server? the entire machine? or just part of it? [07:26] Synaptic reports it as not installed [07:27] ac7ss: yes, I use reboot [07:27] scim-chewing? [07:27] murphylan, 'reboot now' [07:28] ac7ss: I want install a desktop for ubuntu server, but I do not know whcih one can I use? [07:28] Beside zhuyin isn't an input method, it only allows to type bopomofo directly (like ㄨㄛˇ not 我） [07:28] quit [07:28] Kimmen, nop it's not chewing it's another one that's actually much better [07:28] clad: run ibus-setup and see what input method it's using [07:28] murphylan, I believe you can just install gnome-desktop and it will take care of the dependancies. [07:28] since i reinstalled it's not actually using ibus, but the gtk input methods [07:29] It is only listed as"Bopomofo" nothing more precise ohsix [07:29] ac7ss: thanks [07:29] Even the "about" button isnt any help [07:31] clad: gcin? [07:31] Nop it's ibus [07:32] googling the email adress on the about dialog box I found what seems to be the blog of the developper [07:32] But it's all in chinese which I am currently unable to read well [07:33] clad: use google translate. :) [07:33] clad: try babelfish [07:33] hrm i thought they just used existing input methods [07:33] ActionParsnip, I find it interesting that babelfish.altavista.com still works. [07:33] ibus-pinyin: It includes a Chinese Pinyin input method and a Chinese ZhuYin (Bopomofo) input method for IBus. [07:34] Ac7ss: why wouldn't it? [07:34] hi, i have a laptop that dual-boots ubuntu and windoze... after dist-upgrade, grub doesn't detect my windows partition anymore. it used to always do so automatically in menu.lst. now grub is using a cfg instead of a lst, and no windoze. thoughts?

[07:58] Instead of the system-wide default " 105key Intl' " [07:58] See if that helps. [07:58] It doesn't seem like it. [07:58] That did once happen with my Asus VX5 [07:59] rebirth, 'lshw -class network' [07:59] The cert names are BuiltinObjectToken-RSASecurity2048v3.crt and RSAPublicRootCAv1.crt [07:59] maxillusionist, I tried restarting [07:59] MindPhreak: acpi_listen displays the acpi events as they come in, right? It's not displaying the events that the old one's getting, which makes me think that the events aren't being received at all [07:59] how should i install these certs in ubuntu ? [07:59] seems can use pre-start and post-start [08:00] Twisol, Yes, acpi_Listen reports to all acpi events. [08:00] MindPhreak, and the keyboard backlight isn't working either. I had a Windows install once that didn't have the Asus ATK driver installed and it was like this, but I installed it and the backlight and everything came on. Could this be a driver issue? [08:00] Well, I can't say about the backlight bit, for I never used backlit keyboards. [08:00] :/ [08:00] This can't possibly be a driver issue. [08:00] Heheh. It's not so much the specific functionality as it is the fact that none of this is working [08:00] since most keyboard drivers are generic. [08:00] and not proprietary. [08:00] Asus provides its own ATK driver, though. [08:01] And they usually come with kernels. [08:01] without it, the media functions weren't working [08:01] I see.... [08:01] I can provide a link on their site [08:01] Maybe, roll back the ATK drivers [08:01] and Install a fresh one [08:01] That is of the later version [08:01] * MindPhreak is back (gone 00:11:24) [08:01] MindPhreak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] ac7ss, lots of info, I'm typing on an iPhone so I can't cut and paste. [08:01] MindPhreak, um, where would I start with that? [08:01] I installed enlightenment e17 on top of ubuntu. GDM is still managing things, but when I try transparent apps in e17, the pinkish GDM wallpaper shows through. Is there a way I can remove that? [08:01] Twisol, Just hold on a second. I'll look that up for you. [08:01] :) [08:02] MindPhreak, thanks! [08:02] the important line is the product in the wireless section. [08:02] System->administration-> Hardware Drivers [08:02] See if that has lists any hardware with missing/out-dated drivers. [08:02] I don't see a Hardware Drivers option. :D [08:02] I see "Additional drivers", but that just has my NVidia graphics driver. [08:03] rebirth, mine says product: BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY making it a broadcom 4312. a good start for finding your solution. [08:03] hi. I have a process PID="9979" PPID="9978", which command to kill it by PPID ? [08:04] Twisol, then you can try installing a driver manually [08:04] with the libraries [08:04] Twisol, see http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Libraries/ATK-18089.shtml [08:04] ndxtg, kill -9 9978 [08:04] MindPhreak, thanks, I'll look into it [08:04] how to prevent facebook spam oin ubuntu? [08:04] voltalocos, you mean the e-mail? [08:05] ac7ss: it's still alive, but now with different PPID , .... how to kill it with PID then ?

[08:07] rebirth ok can't you even find the wi-fi network actually [08:07] ubottu: !grub | thauriswulfa [08:07] thauriswulfa: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

[08:08] except when it does [08:09] rebirth, try 'sudo rfkill unblock wifi' [08:09] I'm apalled [08:09] rebirth in either case you can uninstall something and reinstall [08:09] StepNjump, I'm aGlenn.

I just tried installing the open-source ATK driver from source with no luck [08:11] Step what is that ?? [08:11] ac7ss: that command returned nothing [08:11] how do I get the X on the window to the top right instead of top left? [08:11] VE2eb [08:11] Glenn got it... [08:11] rebirth, command not found or just no change. [08:11] EBP [08:12] ac7ss, no change [08:12] Do you know KD7REM Glenn? [08:12] StepNjump, from north of the border eh?

Ubottu will get upset at me here [08:14] ac7ss, can you provide a link please? [08:14] No but seriously, I can't believe it mounted and booted everything in a totally new computer. It's really amazing [08:15] Am I right to think that I should reinstall from scratch in order to speed up my system since this install was not originally installed for this sytem?

It was 8.04. It's now 10.04 [08:20] ac7ss, I found the thread but it doesn't address my problem. my radio is enabled but I can't connect to the network [08:21] StepNjump: just make sure the currently installed software matches your needs.

How can i revert back or is there a known fix? [08:25] motaka2, I haven't used that, but it looks like the ubuntu package is 'libmysql-java' [08:25] motaka2, that is the jdbc driver for mysql [08:26] motaka2, i found that by doing "apt-cache search jdbc | grep mysql" [08:26] any one know a conflict between apache and ssh, can libssl make problem? [08:26] hello [08:28] critical_max: what I don't know is where that file is located [08:28] motaka2, probably /usr/lib/mysql/plugin [08:29] i am experiencing a problem with windows 7 and ubuntu installation. i installed windows prior to ubuntu and made the partitions correctly but now i cant boot to windows. someone can help with the mbr? [08:29] motaka2, 'dpkg -L libmysql-java' to get a file list [08:30] motaka2, i'm assuming you already installed the package libmysql-java right? [08:31] critical_max: i just ran sudo apt-get install libmysql-java [08:31] motaka2, ok cool. the dpkg -L should work then on that package [08:32] motaka2, you only get the file list from dpkg if the package is installed [08:32] Hello how to uninstall Namoraka in Ubuntu? I tried to uninstall it from synaptic, also with sudo apt-get remove firefox.. but when I install it again with sudo apt-get install firefox, Namoraka comes again. I want the older firefox look, not Namoraka. How to do that? [08:33] Is there a reason why x86 version of ubuntu 10.10 is recommended? I installed the x86 v. but I feel I'm not using my computer to full potential by not running the x64 version? I'm a completely new ubuntu user. [08:33] riptly, mostly because Adobe Flash plugin for x64 is in early alpha for linux [08:33] critical_max: here is the result: http://pastebin.com/sXwqCJh0 [08:33] riptly, so if you like using the web most people will tell you use 32bit for less pain [08:34] Hi everyone, i am trying to download a file through a remote machine using a ssh session, it is running ubuntu, but if i use the command get i get a error "file not found : /usr/share/codeaster/STA10.1/config.txt", anyone know what to do ? [08:34] critical_max, well I installed Ubuntu mainly to use and learn for everything. So gaming (under Wine), Python development, Apache and the utilities alike. But those shouldn't be any problem? [08:34] psilocybe: it means the files not there [08:34] anyone have a solution for keeping the backlit keyboard lit, beyond POST..... ubuntu 10.04.2 amd/64 toshiba satellite [08:34] ikonia: i dont even know what file that is [08:35] psilocybe: then why are you trying to download it [08:35] riptly: nothing that'd affect you, but theres no frame pointer and debugging stuff is a pain in the butt [08:35] and the file i am downloading is there, i copy & paste a adress from inside a ftp [08:35] and it has a http server running [08:35] psilocybe: you're not using ftp - your using ssh [08:35] psilocybe: what is the exact command you are using [08:35] When I uninstall in in Windows, it removes with everything but in Ubuntu it's not. It's look like it's installing it from cache or something... and always give me the Namoraka logo.. etc.. It's annoying.. Can somebody help please? [08:35] motaka2, some of those files are probably symlinks, do "ls" on them to find out which one you should point your Java app too [08:36] "get http://..." and i tried "get ftp://..." [08:36] critical_max, how is 64-bit adobe flash? is it usable? or still very unstable [08:36] ohsix, huh :(. Well, I guess I'll stay on x86 then for a while until I feel more comfortable with it. Thanks ohsix and critical_max for taking your time :) [08:36] psilocybe: on - you said you are trying to download in ssh, please give me the exact command you are suing [08:36] Xeli: it's great, and far preferable to nspluginwrapper + 32bit plugin [08:36] ikonia, i just gave u the command [08:37] Xeli: it will vary, some people will have a positive experience others won't [08:37] psilocybe: get http://.... is not a command, give me the exact command [08:37] that's very handwavy [08:37] i googled it and i found that command, then can u tell me what command i need to use ? [08:37] ohsix: what is [08:37] psilocybe: give me the exact command you are using [08:37] Xeli, ohsix has the lowdown on that. I'm still on 32bit because 64bit flash from Adobe didn't exist when I installed years ago. [08:37] ikonia: I JUST GAVE YOU THE COMMAND! [08:38] psilocybe: that is not an exact command [08:38] like i said 10 times before [08:38] critical_max: I have added them, now the soft wants me to fill this: jdbc:mysql://<:port>/ I dont know if i should remove <>s or not [08:38] psilocybe, that command does nothing [08:38] psilocybe: I assume you mean "wget" rather than that, however http:// is not a command [08:38] psilocybe: hence why I'm asking you to give me exactly what you are tryping [08:38] typing [08:38] psilocybe: try wget http:/.... [08:38] motaka2, yeah the <> is just to tell you to replace that with the actual value [08:38] ah oke, i'll give it a try then i think :) [08:38] roflol [08:38] Hello can anybody help please?

[08:39] psilocybe: yes, as I told you, however if someone asks for the exact command, give them it [08:40] ikonia: like i said [08:40] i gave you the command [08:40] several times [08:40] psilocybe: get http://www.mydownload.com/file.txt would have been the exact command you used [08:40] psilocybe, you did not [08:40] !help | iNeedHelp07 [08:40] iNeedHelp07: 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).

[08:41] ;) [08:41] psilocybe: I'm trying to help you, in future, it's easier to give people the exact command, so they can help you [08:41] psilocybe: if you don't want to give the url, just say [08:41] iNeedHelp07, asking again is preferable to looking like you haven't asked. :) [08:41] ikonia: not that it was very interesting it was a iso image, but it was the command i needed, i know how a url needs to look like [08:42] critical_max: Okay, I'm asking it again. How to uninstall Namoraka in Ubuntu?

I tried rebooting and using an older kernal. it tries to connect and then continually asks for authentication. [08:43] critical_max: sorry a typo, it's namoroka, see there: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka [08:43] i pinned natty's ff4 on mav so i got the branded ff; otherwise i'd have to run with namoroka [08:44] Yea Tom, I'm actually really enjoying Ubuntu. I wasn't expecting it to ... "work" so easily. [08:44] someone can help me repair the master boot record? i istalled windows 7, then ubuntu and windows 7 wont load. grub loads, and there are all options available, but when i choose windows loader it returns to the grub menu. [08:44] iNeedHelp07, so you are trying to make FF4 look like 3.6? I believe most of the UI changes are configurable... if that's not what you're asking, I apologize [08:44] iNeedHelp07, I'll check that link [08:44] !grub2 | blackguard- [08:44] blackguard-: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[08:45] milamber: grub2 right, i am now to ubuntu === mirco_ is now known as mirco [08:45] critical_max: so, I can re-install FF3.6 again freshly. [08:45] iNeedHelp07, use "apt-get purge " to remove settings, "apt-get clean" "apt-get autoclean" for caches.. [08:45] is there a wifi guru here who can help me? [08:46] *settings and package [08:46] critical_max: trying.. [08:46] iNeedHelp07, there should be a metapackage that you can install that will depend on FF3.6 === OerHeks is now known as Oer [08:47] iNeedHelp07, unfortunately i'm in a different state because I have 10.04 and installed the PPA to get FF4, so it's easy for me to return to FF3.6 [08:47] critical_max: I did that too. [08:47] How to remove PPA then? [08:47] ok.. how about this. is there a way to downgrade to 10.4 without an Internet connection? [08:47] iNeedHelp07, Aha!! You can remove the PPA easily in the GUI by going through Software Center [08:47] ppa-purge [08:48] join #cricinfo [08:48] critical_max: I don't find it. Can you tell me the command? [08:48] iNeedHelp07, Ubuntu Software Center > Edit > Software Sources [08:48] In the Software Sources dialog, go to the "Other Software" tab [08:49] you will see the ppa for mozilla team, delete it [08:49] need help rapairing master boot record, i installed ubuntu after windows 7 and now windows wont load.

[08:51] iNeedHelp07, the PPA is specific to FF4 though [08:52] so it shouldn't affect other software on your system [08:52] critical_max: so, I'm removing it.. [08:52] iNeedHelp07, after the PPA is removed you can use Software Center or apt-get to check for updates (will rebuild the available list and FF4 won't be there anymore) and then install FF, 3 being the only available option [08:53] iNeedHelp07, actually Update Manager if you want to do it graphically, software center doesn't have an "check updates" button [08:53] it still won't do downgrades [08:54] critical_max: yeah :S [08:54] critical_max: does firefox 4 is in ubuntu repo yet? === omar_ is now known as omargeek [08:54] iNeedHelp07, nope that's why we had to use the PPA :) [08:54] it is in natty [08:55] would not suggest switching if it's just for that [08:55] which is in alpha 3 === ac7ss_ is now known as ac7ss [08:55] excited for beta next month. [08:55] critical_max: mm, I thought it wasn't in repo because it's in beta (i used PPA from beta), but it's final version now.. repo is being late. :S [08:55] you can pin from natty on mav though ;] that's what i did [08:56] iNeedHelp07, you've lost me. Do you have FF installed right now? === KRS_ONE is now known as k_1 [08:56] Is there no business card support in evolution for own business cards?

Or I have to upgrade to FF4? [08:58] iNeedHelp07, for what it's worth, the cache cleaning stuff really isn't necessary for this situation. but it can be handy for an old machine with limited drive space, the package cache gets biiiiig [08:58] how should I recreate ecryptfs homedir after password reset? (afterwards data shall be restored from backups) [08:58] iNeedHelp07, you can decline the update to the package that Update manager offers you [08:58] shouldn't be a problem [08:58] !grub2 | blackguard- [08:58] blackguard-: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

No prefs folder clobbering, etc. But you can probably find a detailed how-to for the "right" way to run FF4 and FF3 on the same Linux system somewhere.. [09:02] iNeedHelp07, ohsix has it :P [09:02] PSN|VegaMan: ok, so it's telling you it needs another GTK theme installed, and that theme is called rocker === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [09:02] so the dev builds don't write to .mozilla eh?

[09:33] the open source nvidia driver is "nv", and it sucks, nouveau is a 3rd party driver that does some things, but is still in heavy development, you might be able to get by with it [09:33] <_antant> but if I want nvpau then propriety? [09:33] ohsix, is Nouveau the driver for Wayland+Nvidia? [09:33] _antant, if you want to fully utilise your graphics cards abilities, the proprietary nvidia driver is best.

[09:38] <_antant> the propriety [09:38] how do i know what kind of i865 of intel chipset i have? [09:38] _antant, uninstall whatever nvidia driver you have installed. Then use the "System > Hardware Drivers" wizard to install the official Nvidia drivers. [09:38] ljsoftnet: lshw might show it. [09:38] either use jockey or apt to install them [09:39] _antant, what is the exact version of Ubuntu that you are running? [09:39] ohsix: yeah jockey is what "Hardware Drivers" calls, right? [09:39] critical_max: yep [09:40] _antant, knowing your Nvidia card model would also be useful [09:40] How do I remove "temp/" folder from a archive in command line?

[10:32] :) [10:32] zetheroo: hard drives are machine specific, although you can use other things to monitor disk usage [10:32] SianF: update syncs with the repos you have enabled, upgrade downloads and installs any packages that have available upgrades. dist-upgrade is will upgrade select packages, usually the more important ones [10:32] jonesyNH: recovery thing is outdated sorry [10:32] @zetheroo never mind forget it [10:32] iflema: I don't understand either. What type of upgrade does 'upgrade' do to installed packages? find new minor versions?

[10:50] headset: (NOTE: you must install mesa-utils to get glxinfo) [10:51] <_antant> No matter what I do I can't get the nvidia drivers from the website to install. I've followed pretty much every tutorial I can find and it still says that the nouveau drivers are in use [10:51] coz_: [10:52] help _antant [10:52] _antant: drivers from the nvidia website aren't supported [10:52] _antant: you're supposed to use the ones packaged within the ubuntu repos [10:52] glxinfo|grep [10:52] Usage: grep [OPTION]...

But lets go one more step and install gallium. You are on 10.10, correct? [10:54] yea [10:54] <_antant> well on install I used the open source drivers, and since then I've updated everything [10:54] headset: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:54] do any of you know how to move the cursor to the start of the line whilst in bash and running the `screen` program? [10:54] _antant: that means nothing [10:54] since ctrl-a is a meta char for the application.. [10:54] headset: This will upgrade the entire open driver stack. After it is complete, restart X (by logging out) and check the output of glxinfo|grep renderer again (it should say gallium) [10:54] <_antant> the first 3 times I did a fresh install I tried using the proprietary drivers from the outset and just got nothing but a purple screen once booted [10:54] _antant: opensource graphics afaik wont let you enable effects [10:55] <_antant> no, juk, I know [10:55] <_antant> which is why I'm getting so irked with this card [10:55] pyrony: the home key maybe? [10:56] <_antant> so I want to apt-get nvidia-current and anything else [10:56] _antant: use nvidia binary or disable effects [10:56] _antant: Get a radeon and side step the whole nvidia non-foss-helping-people :P [10:56] <_antant> ?

I need to find the OAFIID for the applet listed as "Log Out..." in 10.04 so that I can disable it. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to google it up, and failed. I believe it's one of the applets listed at /usr/lib/bonobo/servers, but I've tried the 5 or so that seemed most likely and they weren't it. Anyone know which OAFIID it is? Or maybe a good clue how to tell?

It's plugged in to the usb port as normal, but for some reason, the system mounts it read-only [13:05] Firefishe, try to remount it by hand, and add your uid and gid to the mount options [13:05] s3r3n1t7: so why are you replying, that makes it worse ;) [13:05] Firefishe: pastebin the output of « mount » [13:05] Frots: drop it. [13:05] botcity^: I just used ffmpeg -i [13:05] soreau: my point exactly [13:05] Frots ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/584802/ [13:05] thauriswulfa: thanks, will look at it [13:06] thauriswulfa: sorry I actually meant your logfile, not executing dmesg [13:06] But I get "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1" [13:06] Frots, where i can find that? [13:06] /var/log [13:07] jrib: Here's the output of <>: http://paste.ubuntu.com/584803/ [13:07] Firefishe: why is it mounted twice? [13:07] Adding -acodec mp3 just gives "Unknown encoder 'mp3'", as does aac and wav [13:08] Yo [13:08] Frots: Probably because the system is detecting the player's (empty) sd card slot [13:09] ah, auto-mounting? [13:09] Frots: Yes, it auto-mounts when I plug it in [13:09] Firefishe: doesnt look like that, it detects a blockdevice [13:09] it cannot mount an empty sd slot [13:09] Frots ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/584804/ [13:10] thauriswulfa: looks fine [13:10] have you restarted X yet? [13:10] Frots, m not that technical person:-( [13:11] ok [13:11] hey is there any downsides to me installing kde over gnome ? [13:11] just press ctrl+alt+F1 [13:11] ctrl+c [13:11] Frots: Well, it could be detecting both the Sansa OS and the Rockbox folder OS [13:11] and start X afaub' [13:11] I have followed the instructions as given by the bot but I encountered an error. Can you direct me to where I can get help please? [13:11] again* [13:11] botcity: I just used ffmpeg -i [13:11] But I get "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1" [13:11] Firefishe: but how can it be the same blockdevice? not possibvle [13:11] Adding -acodec mp3 just gives "Unknown encoder 'mp3'", as does aac and wav [13:11] Firefishe: what is the output of cat /proc/partitions? [13:12] Kyokan: you need to provide context. Assume the channel has no memory of what happened two lines ago unless you address someone in particular [13:12] hey is there any downsides to me installing kde over gnome ? [13:12] daniel: depends on your likings [13:13] if you dont like Qt applications, that will be the downside [13:13] I encountered a problem following instructions to move my home folder and would like to know if someone is available to assist me please [13:13] Frots, well i just wanna know if it will mess anything up cause it looks nicer then gnome [13:13] Frots: http://paste.ubuntu.com/584808/ [13:13] daniel: it shouldnt mess things up [13:13] Kyokan: expand on "I encountered a problem" [13:13] Firefishe: as you can see there are 2 partitions on the drive [13:14] Frots: One's probably Rockbox's bootloader [13:14] but anyway it should be read-write [13:14] could be [13:14] Frots, but all the programs will work just fine and what shoudl i put at the end of sudo apt-get install .... === bbigras_ is now known as Guest4833 [13:15] well, kde for example ? [13:15] daniel: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [13:15] is anyone else having that new problem with the kernel that freezes ubuntu after a short time of use [13:16] Frots: It's weird. I'm using kde, but I have a Nautilus window open. Nautilus is showing 2 mount points for the sansa. Weird that kde isn't. === nicholas is now known as Guest51794 [13:16] who is kde ? [13:16] ah sorry [13:16] the kde filemanager [13:16] Anybody know how I can get a /dev/dsp sound device? I have a app that needs that. [13:16] I dont know too much about GUI apps [13:16] Frots: I can use cli, it isn't a problem [13:17] kpettit: install oss or abstraction layer [13:17] hi, how can I change the language of gbrainy? [13:17] ok on typing sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /old I get the following respose: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some dases useful info is found in sys log try dmesg tail or so. However my new home folder is actually mounted [13:17] Frots, will oss mess up the default sound system? [13:17] !who | Kyokan [13:17] Kyokan: 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 :) [13:17] kpettit: probably yes [13:17] sorry, OK [13:17] ah, wonderfull [13:17] Kyokan: and what does dmesg|tail say? [13:17] Does upstart respawn services if they die unexpectedly by default? [13:17] scotty^: When you specify the output as an AVI file, ffmpeg cannot determine which video codec you want, since AVI is a container format and you can put MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and a whole load of other video formats into an AVI file. [13:18] frots: where can i find out? [13:18] kpettit: Kyokan terminal and type it [13:18] ?? [13:18] sorry [13:18] kpettit: check this page http://www.khattam.info/solved-cant-open-devdsp-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-2010-06-09.html [13:18] bbigras2: only if you tell it to in the service.conf script [13:18] scotty^: like this ffmpeg -i d.avi -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 o.avi [13:19] Kyokan: you can find out by typing "dmesg|tail" in terminal after trying to mount [13:19] bbigras2: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#respawn [13:19] Frots: i get a long response. shall i post it here? [13:19] Kyokan: use ext4, not ext3 [13:19] Frots, ah cool. That should work perfectly. I'll give ita try [13:19] jrib: thanks! [13:19] Kyokan: pastebin it [13:20] jrib: thanks [13:20] Frots will do after changing file system [13:20] great [13:21] dmesg will tell you why it fails [13:21] Frots, that worked. Thanks. I was using a text to speech tool. Festival just sucks to much for me [13:21] ok [13:21] Firefishe: you should check that it is not a permissions issue [13:22] I've been testing Cepstral, it rocks. Best sounding text2speech I've been able to find on Linux. You can integrate with things like asterisk too [13:22] jrib: doesnt he mount it with uid=1000 ? [13:22] http://cepstral.com/demos/ [13:22] it's vfat [13:22] jrib: I thought of that, but I don't know how to affect a directory that's auto-created when the thing is plugged in. [13:22] how where is the bluetooth config file on the filesystem? [13:22] Firefishe: fidle with udev [13:22] i need to edit /dev/rfcomm4 [13:22] Firefishe: pastebin: ls -ld /whatever [13:22] Is there a sub 200mb linux distro thats got gnome? [13:23] hey, in beamer, using [allowframebreaks] beamer beautifully breaks the frame after some amount of lines. how can i make that amount of lines smaller? [13:23] Cube``: ask in #latex, that's the appropriate channel [13:23] jrib: did, all people afk [13:23] bcarm17, I don't know of one off hand. I'd check handheld or tablet distros. [13:23] Cube``: you have to be patient in other channels, #ubuntu is unusually busy [13:24] bcarm17: check distrowatch [13:25] bcarm17: try grml which is debian based [13:25] Hi === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [13:25] i'd be happy with a i386 complient distro that can run on less than 64mb ram and still be able to run firefox 4 with flash installed [13:26] bcarm17: especially flash will be hard [13:26] goodluck [13:26] bcarm17: yes good luck with flash... [13:26] bcarm17, if you don't have hardware already there is some linux on bios projects that pretty much just do that === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:27] 64mb for base desktop. without flash [13:27] bcarm17: ubuntu minimal, install your favorite minimalistic window manager [13:27] jrib: kk. thanks anyways [13:27] imma noob [13:28] clean installs only if possible, if not i can read and use google :P [13:28] !minimal [13:28] 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 [13:29] bcarm17: try something like fluxbox as your window manager. firefox 4 probably won't run well on that system though [13:29] jrib: he wants gnome [13:30] i want something with a good screen refresh buffer [13:30] minimal chop in youtube :) [13:30] Frots, jrib: This is weird. I just force-deleted both directories (with the sansa disconnected, of course) in /media. That done, I reconnected the thing, and it auto-mounted it, but the two directories are one and the same thing. Never seen such a thing. [13:30] Is there any way to set up Evolution so it only sends emails when i press the "Send and recive" button? [13:31] hey people [13:31] AJenbo: have you asked google? [13:31] Hi. I have a file with commands - one command per line. I want to execute them all simultaneously (I don't care whether I'll get the output or not). Any ideas on how to accomplish that? [13:32] danieldd1: use & [13:32] danieldd1: it will background the process [13:32] Frots: Yes he told me that he had several ways of fixing issues where Evolution would not send emails [13:33] AJenbo: you can set it on the receiving options tab when creating an account [13:33] so probably also when adjusting an account [13:33] Frots, and what if i already created the account? [13:33] ^ [13:34] nope [13:34] but let me check again [13:34] p.s. if you know how to find the answer you are wellcome to show me on : http://lmgtfy.com/ [13:35] AJenbo: evolution is not a very nice searchterm unforunately [13:36] AJenbo: you can also set yourself to work offline BTW [13:36] but that is not exactly a clean solution ;p [13:37] Frots, thourght about that, but when i do that the "send and recive" is grayed out [13:37] that shouldnt be [13:37] according to the FAQ [13:37] hello ! how I can create a user with an empty password? [13:37] oh sorry, it does AJenbo [13:37] Pilopin: with useradd [13:37] Under account editing tool i have a tab called "Sending of email", here i can set a server and a password, nothing else. [13:37] I can't with "passwd" Frots ? [13:37] Frots: I think I have now pastebinned dmesg|tail [13:38] all i want is a light linux distro that can run firefox 4 smoothly with flash and java support (youtube and minecraft) . [13:38] bcarm17: with only 64 meg of RAM Im not sure it is possible [13:38] you have to be reasonable [13:38] and firefox4 takes recourses [13:38] I have a laptop I want to upgrade to 10.10, from 9.04. I'm ok with doing a fresh install, but I can't seem to boot from a USB drive. Is it possible to upgrade/install from the USB drive? [13:38] bcarm17, minecraft requries loads of ram [13:39] cba123, why not do "update-manager -d" [13:39] if its so old it wont boot from usb drives, its gonna be harder [13:39] cba123, you can install from USB though. Assuming your have the bios option to boot from USB [13:40] AJenbo: this http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/doc/x1227.html only suggests "file->Save Draft" [13:40] you can also chainload to your usb drive from grub [13:40] cba123, kpettit: -d is only to upgrade to development releases [13:40] i meant the linux distro by itself uses 64mb or less. Java/flash/firefox can take as much as they need [13:40] don't need BIOS option [13:40] bcarm17: any distro will fit [13:40] you have to customize it yourself though [13:40] !upgrade > cba123 if you want to upgrade instead of doing a fresh install [13:40] cba123, please see my private message [13:41] scotty^: ffmpeg -i -f mpeg4 works.. to get a list of formats type ffmpeg -formats [13:42] i was hoping for an pre built solution not to sound lazy [13:42] oCean, thats what i sugested as well, lets hope the guy can live with that, just seams a bit redundant for the button to say "Send & Recive" if there is no way to avoide it sending instantly. [13:43] Frots: Not sure if you saw my last msg but I have pastebinned dmesg|tail [13:43] I'm just glad i don't use evolution any more :( [13:44] Is there anyway to restart audio? my sound gets buggered up now and then and I need to be able to restart soundsystem. [13:44] Howdy folks [13:45] jrib, Thanks, but I don't need an upgrade, I have /home separate, so I can format / without an issue. I am just asking how I can initiate the "upgrade" from my existing install. It's an eeepc so no CD-Rom. [13:45] cba123: can't you just install 10.10 the same way you installed 9.10? [13:46] cba123: erm, 9.04 I mean [13:46] jrib, I'm trying, but unetbootin didn't have an option for 10.10, I had to manually add an 10.10 iso. It doesn't seem to boot normally. [13:47] cba123: I see. Did you try usb disk creator? [13:47] cba123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [13:47] hiiii [13:47] any 1 is der??? [13:47] jrib, No, didn't try that, thanks. [13:47] nimish: some people are here, yes. Do you have an ubuntu support qusetion? [13:49] whats the best way to upgrade ubuntu 9 to the latest version? [13:49] !upgrade | roger_padactor [13:49] roger_padactor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [13:49] Hi! [13:50] roger_padactor: Also keep in mind that ubuntu versions are numbered by their release date, so usually YEAR.04 for April and YEAR.10 for october. So try to say 9.04 or 9.10 so we know what exactly you are asking about (in this case it doesn't matter) [13:51] Frots: I tried to use &, but how do I use it? & command or &command ends up with a syntax error... [13:51] command & [13:51] danieldd1: command & [13:51] I have got a problem with ubutu font family on my Ubuntu Lucid. Ubuntu font doesn't display unicode character very well [13:52] This is screenshot http://www.imagesk.com/ihwonZzJ.png [13:52] It looks very bad! [13:52] Can someone help me to fix? Thanks! [13:53] i upgraded before a lot time ago and I lost half my stuff and configurations. hopefully it wont happen again. [13:53] because im backing stuff up hahah [13:53] n2i whats the prob? [13:53] sup [13:53] roger_padactor: always keep /home on a seperate partition ;) [13:54] soop: ? you can do that [13:54] soop: ubutu family font display unicode character which is very ugly! http://www.imagesk.com/ihwonZzJ.png [13:54] anyone know a way of (almost) instantly deleting files in nautilus? -> instead of the "preparing to delete" [13:54] Please help! [13:55] roger_padactor: when installing configure your partitions manually and specify your mount points .... [13:55] Hi all i have a sound question on ubuntu 10.10: is there a way to output the sound both from the earphones AND the pc speakers (using laptop hp pavilion dv5000) [13:55] !separatehome | roger_padactor [13:55] roger_padactor: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [13:55] n2i: no need to repeat that soon [13:55] ocean, my fault i didnt see his question [13:55] soop: I was always scared to do that I just let it do its thing :). I guess now is a good time to learn [13:56] god damn kde [13:56] 20054 a931bw 20 0 362m 80m 27m R 34 2.6 218:02.82 kwin [13:56] 19858 root 20 0 164m 136m 10m S 31 4.5 193:43.02 Xorg [13:56] 25973 a931bw 20 0 412m 98m 34m S 28 3.2 46:52.09 chromium-browse [13:56] soop: n2i, ah ok [13:56] a931bw: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:56] a931bw: dont flood and mind your language in this channel thank you [13:56] http://www.imagesk.com/GUNKLcSu.png [13:56] compare two pics [13:56] I'm deciding between full hard drive encryption and home directory encryption but I've got a weird question. Say my computer with home directory encryption gets stolen, can't someone use a rescue-type disk to boot the system and change my account's password and then just reboot and log in as me, bypassing the usefulness of the encryption? [13:56] kwin 34% CPU , Xorg , 31% , Chromium 28% [13:56] n2i: did you try adding ubuntu font family ppa? [13:57] MeanEYE: Yes! [13:57] I wonder if this is working [13:57] n2i: which language is that in those pictures? [13:57] It looks bold! [13:57] so I have to upgrade to10.04 first then 10.10? [13:57] awesome got alias' working in ircii *swoon* [13:57] i broke an earphone plug in my laptop jack, i was wondering if there is a way to force output via speakers [13:57] MeanEYE: Those are Vietnamese! [13:57] aminho buy a usb sound card for like 8$ on amazon [13:58] ZummiG777, no, anyone needs your encryption keys, protected by your password, changing password does not acces your encrypted /home [13:58] or some tweezers ;) [13:58] n2i: ubuntu font supports limited code sets at the moment, when letters are not available it fallbacks to some other font (not sure which). I think cyrillic, latin and hebrew are supported atm, but don't hold me on that [13:58] soop, i know there is this possibility but i was wondering if there was a way to output on both devices at the same time since i found some people having this as an issue, for me it's more a feature [13:58] Oer: Great! Thanks! [13:59] n2i: you could check with someone more knowledgable about ubuntu font which code sets are supported [13:59] MeanEYE: http://www.imagesk.com/eNqPLGi2.png Ubuntu font famiy on browser with this style http://userstyles.org/styles/37610 [13:59] aminho depends on the card, most laptops won't support that though I believe ... I know with a 7.1 card you can usually assign specific ports to specific outputs etc ... but ultimately not too sure [13:59] It looks really good! [14:00] soop, hmm ok, i will invistigate on the sound card i have then [14:00] n2i: so you are trying to say that font looks ok on the web but not in application(s) [14:00] MeanEYE: Yes! [14:00] Sorry, my english is not very well! [14:00] n2i: is that kde? and which application. are all applications affected by this? [14:01] ZummiG777: depending on your paranoia level, make sure you encrypt swap as well. You don't want your /home/ keys to be in swap when your laptop is stolen. It's going to take a pretty sophisticated attacker to work that out though. [14:01] MeanEYE: DE is GNOME [14:01] jrib, Thanks, that's working. [14:01] This problem is on all apps [14:02] n2i: theme looked like oxygen from kde, anyway... I need to go now, please explain to others what the problem is :(... sorry for not finishing this [14:02] I tried to boot up.. getting this error /* Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0)*/ [14:02] MeanEYE: Thanks! [14:02] Pumpkin- Very good point. I'm working with government data so I'm pretty paranoid to begin with. [14:02] I might just go with full hard drive encryption to make the task simpler. Will do a performance test to see if I notice anything. [14:03] All themes which I have used are gtk theme for GNOME [14:03] ZummiG777, make sure you leave your /boot partition not encrypted, else it'll be hard to boot [14:03] alguien que tenga idea de unal de lenguaje c en español [14:03] !es | arielsanflo [14:03] arielsanflo: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[14:05] I tried to boot up.. getting this error /* Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0)*/ [14:05] Anyone else can help me?

[14:07] I am facing new problem /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: symbol swscale_configuration, version LIBSWSCALE_0 not defined in file libswscale.so.0 with link time reference Can anybody help me for this [14:08] n2i: What kind of configuration do you want to do? [14:08] scotty^, with lspci ? [14:09] anyone know a way of (almost) instantly deleting a lot of files in gnome/nautilus? -> bypassing the "preparing to delete", which takes ages [14:09] SystemDefault0: there are many files in /etc/fonts/** and fonts.conf, may I edit those? [14:09] aminho - yes [14:10] start with lspci | grep HDA or lspci | grep ALC [14:10] n2i: Well you can do it, making a backup of your files. [14:10] scotty^, it looks like the only sound related device : http://paste.ubuntu.com/584830/ [14:10] if there's nothing there just do lspci and look at it manually, carefully [14:10] rsync on windows matching local hdd with smb drive - possible to speed up the file matching with a kind of logfile? [14:10] Hold on [14:11] scotty^, there is nothing, i pasted the output of lscpci [14:11] if sbd here has gdm too, can you please look at system - appearence - fonts and tell me the default font names? i messed up with them :) [14:11] m_: nautilus needs to find out which files to remove... terminal command could be faster though [14:11] Hmm, thanks all! Thank you, SystemDefault0! [14:11] also the sizes would be fine :) [14:11] n2i: did you fix it? [14:11] can any body help me [14:11] MeanEYE: not yet :( [14:11] /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: symbol swscale_configuration, version LIBSWSCALE_0 not defined in file libswscale.so.0 with link time reference Can anybody help me for this [14:12] n2i: If you wanna make some changes in the system, youmust do it as root. [14:12] Hey guys, I setup some Samba shares and have them set to writeable = yes readonly = no but when I try to write to them I get Access Denied [14:12] Hodr, you need to allow guest as well. [14:12] Is there a tool to convert a pdf file to jpg? [14:12] Hodr: you need to enable guest access as well or log in with username/password [14:13] LiquidDemocracy, use imagemagick [14:13] LiquidDemocracy: gimp can do that for you [14:13] aminho - yeah, looks like you are correct.

[14:41] Bye. [14:41] yeah [14:41] Neddio: i have Win XP Pro SP1 [14:41] dombnexen: try IDJC you can install it from Synaptic Package Manager or sudo apt-get install idjc [14:41] ruan: Well, not from the Windows CD, but after you boot the Windows OS from a boot CD, you can reset the Windows boot loader with command: fdisk /mbr [14:41] R3aKt0r5: grub didn't do such thing... and can't do that just to save you the trouble. boot loaders are made in 2 stages, one very small in master boot record which loads the real boot loader and starts it. the fact you are getting dll error message means windows boot loader is already started [14:42] IdleOne, how i setup the setings for that [14:42] MeanEye: it's kinda off topic but is related because i'm trying to fix something that ubuntu probly helped cause [14:42] i have the app [14:42] R3aKt0r5: ubuntu didn't cause that, I assure you ... ubuntu doesnt poke around windows dll files unless you removed them on purpose [14:42] I'm having problems with Stopmotion program... It says I don't have permission to import files... What can I do? [14:43] Neddio: thx i'll look at those instructions [14:43] For boot disk ISOs see: http://www.bootdisk.com/.

[14:45] MeanEye: heheh pls be nice, why would i remove anything from a working system and then come here to put blame>? [14:45] dombnexen: you can take a look at http://naiux.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/idjc-shoutcast-setup-guide/ [14:45] R3aKt0r5: Yes probably so. If grub's boot loader has been written to the MBR of the primary dirve (the one that MS Windows is on), yes it will in fact blow it away. [14:45] please i'm only asking for help [14:45] hallo [14:45] just installed ubuntu [14:46] i will try fdisk /mbr and see what happens. i'm sure other ppl have gone thru the same issue and would appreciate the info [14:46] yay adolphus_ [14:46] ruan: , i don't want to connect to amazon. i don't know why the firewall blocks that server, but some web pages from different sites and servers use amazonaws.com server at the end, can i do something to see that web pages, but don't use amazonaws.com server? [14:46] dombnexen: or http://idjc.sourceforge.net/tutorials_shoutcast.html [14:46] R3aKt0r5: am not blaming anyone, just saying that os doesn't do anything on its own especially grub. grub installs in frist 512 bytes of your hard disk and that's it... insisting on grub messing up with your dll file is ridiculous [14:46] R3aKt0r5: :D and I am always nice :P [14:46] since i installed compiz i am not able to see the window cross, maximize and minimize sign [14:46] what to do? [14:46] R3aKt0r5: What exactly is your problem? Do you have one hard drive or 2 in this PC you are working on? [14:46] brb [14:47] hello [14:47] how to sort files by date?

[14:47] MeanEYE: i can add other applets... i click 3 times on system monitor [add], nothing happens. nothing in .xsession-erros either. IIRC i now will have 4 running monitors on next reboot, not sure about that though... [14:47] Thanks [14:48] R3aKt0r5: Probably so.. but would have to know more about your hardware. [14:48] R3aKt0r5: You should probably look into getting grub to boot windows for you. [14:48] MeanEye: thanks for helping. i'll try the advice you've all given me [14:48] IdleOne, ty very mach cause in the greek channel they dont know nothing for that [14:48] my bluetooth is not working [14:48] adolphus_: what is the error?

For example, http://mysite.com/index.php/login and https://mysite.com/index.php/login both work but only http://mysite.com/login works and https://mysite.com/login doesn't [14:49] terry: two hard drives so running each OS on its own [14:49] MeanEYE: not working :( [14:49] R3aKt0r5: Does the computer give you options to boot each of the drives? [14:49] my hotdogs are good, lol is it USB bluetooth or built into the computer? or is it a device not syncing [14:49] oh wait wait Terry: no one single drive but different partitions, sorry i was thinking something esle [14:49] else [14:49] @ruan the led no lighting [14:50] R3aKt0r5: Ok, then you need to just fix grub so that it gives the option to also boot MS Windows. [14:50] adolphus_: have you plugged it in and out, and checked that the usb port works? [14:50] nope am talking of bluetooth on my laptop [14:50] ohhhh [14:51] ubottu: thanks but the problem is not tha I lost GRUB. the issue is that AFTER i installed ubuntu and told the installer to install GRUB, the i got hal.dll error [14:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:51] terry: Grub is installed and configured to load windows, yes [14:51] adolphus_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [14:52] Terry: there's only 1 (one) drive, my mistake earlier when i told you there were two. [14:52] ruan: I tried running sudo e2fsck -y -f -v /media/7b123xxxx ... But I got this error.. e2fsck is a directory while trying to open. The superblock... doesnt describe ext2 filesystem.. [14:52] helloo [14:52] since i installed compiz i am not able to see the window cross, maximize and minimize sign what to do? [14:52] Ububegin: is it a ext2 filesystem? [14:52] XoD: hm, did you try reseting panel settings? [14:52] R3aKt0r5: no probs... :) [14:52] i have an issue in my wireless device [14:52] can someone help me please [14:52] !wifi [14:52] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:53] since i installed compiz i am not able to see the window cross, maximize and minimize sign [14:53] R3aKt0r5: If grub is configured to load windows, what is the problem? What exactly are you trying to fix? [14:53] can someone help me with the wireless thing > ? [14:54] BaZ418: what is the issue? [14:54] i have broadcom 802.11n wireless card [14:54] BaZ418, which wifi chip/device? [14:54] !broadcom [14:54] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [14:54] and ubuntu doesnt seem to know it [14:54] Anyone here rockin' easypeasy [14:54] Terry: again. ubuntu loads fine, but if i select to boot Windows from the Grub menu, then i get HAL.DLL error, something that i didnt get before. it only happened AFTER i installed Ubu. [14:55] ruan : No, i config it as a ext4 system === alami is now known as upp [14:55] Ububegin: e2fsck sounds like an ext2 fsck, not sure [14:55] ok another thing [14:55] R3aKt0r5: What do you mean HAL.DLL error? Is that after you boot into windows it comes up with an error window that says something about HAL.DLL error? [14:56] why my nm-applet is running [14:56] Hey all, are there any networking Gurus in today? I've got a problem, (outlined here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1712965), basically, I can't add a bonded connection to a bridge (which I need to do to create a cloud with UEC) [14:56] BaZ418: what model? [14:56] terry: yes, exactly. when i select to boot to Windows, then windows wont start instead will issue HAL.dll error [14:56] still cant bring up my bluetooth [14:56] ruan, my nm-applet is running but not shown ? any suggestions? [14:57] BaZ418: what model is the card? [14:57] so i'm thinking the windows error is related to the ubuntu installation somehow [14:57] broadcom [14:57] R3aKt0r5: What exactly happens when it starts to boot. Describe what you see on the screen first. [14:57] but anyways [14:57] BaZ418: and model number? [14:57] just a sec [14:57] bcm4313 [14:57] !broadcom [14:58] am i gone?

[14:59] not shown in the pannel [14:59] is there a way to have multiple versions of firefox on an ubuntu box? I want to try out ff 4... [15:00] shomon, yes [15:00] shomon, download ff4 from their website and you will have both old and new [15:00] how? [15:00] yeah. the ppa method makes you use 1 version [15:00] 5 - black screen with the message "Windows could not be started because the following file is missing or damaged: \system32\hal.dll" [15:00] there [15:00] Hey [15:00] ok so basically just download it and unzip it somewhere and it'll just run from wherever [15:00] BaZ418, have you read the url provided https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx , this will help! [15:00] R3aKt0r5: See: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/153336-solved-two-bootloaders-hal-dll-error.html [15:01] shomon, yes [15:01] ok BluesKaj [15:01] ruan, that means hal.dll is missing or damaged ! [15:01] i wanted to rn a swf file in ubuntu10.10 [15:01] hi all, I dont understand Scp. I want to take a file(s) from a server to my home computer in command line i.e. text.txt from john@bob..org to my home computer? [15:01] MeanEYE: no, i didn't try resetting panel setting. i didn't change *anything* in any settings since last reboot (i'd rather do work :), except maybe for what some 'apt-get upgrade' does on its way... i'll try now [15:01] thanks for help [15:01] R3aKt0r5, that means hal.dll is missing or damaged ! [15:01] !panel [15:01] R3aKt0r5, its a windows problem [15:01] terry: will take a look to that, thanks [15:01] Armageddon: he has checked the integrity and existence of hal.dll [15:01] shomon: you could install using the daily-build PPA. it supposedly install along side the current firefox. I haven't tried. [15:01] it doesnt install alongside [15:01] XoD: am not sure where the problem lies but it smells like configuration problem, otherwise I see no reason for that applet to hang [15:01] i've tried it myself. though i dont mind ff4 [15:01] newbie01: the order of arguments in scp is just like in cp. So: scp john@bob.org:/path/to/text.txt /local/path/ [15:02] Armageddon: that has been established. just wanted to see if theres a way to fix it. and whether the problem was caused by ubuntu being installed [15:02] R3aKt0r5: And: http://www.comitservices.com/wp/?p=12 [15:02] shomon: If you want to try out Firefox 4 you can use the Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" LiveCD. Bear in mind that any further questions about that should be asked on #ubuntu+1 [15:02] R3aKt0r5, probably not Ubuntu, most probably winblows getting pissed at something :p [15:03] R3aKt0r5: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-461084.html [15:03] hello [15:03] !ff4 | shomon [15:03] shomon: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [15:03] cool, scotty^ and IdleOne I'll try the PPA daily, and I just found some info on running multiple ff's in windows otherwise [15:03] Armageddon: right. most likely windowz whining yet again :) [15:03] scotty^: Upgrading to Natty just for Firefox 4 is really a bit much.. [15:03] Hey [15:03] YAY! [15:04] i'm telling ya, the only reason i keep windoze is because of some edu-games my kids use [15:04] say a good oS thats not ubuntu windows orbacktrack [15:04] R3aKt0r5: don't they work on wine? [15:04] R3aKt0r5: What version of Ubuntu did you install? [15:05] but as soon as i find soem better stuff made for linux the end of windoz is near [15:05] R3aKt0r5: Do those edu-games run in WINE? [15:05] terry: Edgy [15:05] MeanEYE: resetting panel did nothing w/ respect to the 'system monitor'-applet... following the killall, it didn't show up. (none did ofc becaus of the reset)... i *can* re-add i.e. 'lock screen', i can *not* re-add 'system monitor' [15:05] <_antant_> Hey. No matter what I try and how many guides I follow I can't get anything but the 640x480x8 ugly splash screen. In 10.10 with an NVidia GT210 [15:05] ruan: havent tried Wine [15:05] !edgy [15:05] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [15:05] <_antant_> Can anyone help? [15:05] R3aKt0r5: edgy still uses grub(1) [15:05] Pici: the method in !ff4 will install, read as upgrade, to ff4. actionparsnip told me that using the daily-build will install along side. Like I said before I haven't tried it. [15:06] ruan: wait [15:06] is it edgy? [15:06] hmm [15:06] IdleOne: I must have missed the part about the daily build then. [15:06] _antant_, did you get the NVidia drivers ? [15:06] R3aKt0r5: you can check the version in system monitor [15:06] R3aKt0r5: Ubuntu 6.10? [15:06] XoD: try running gnome panel from terminal with gnome-panel --replace should give you some errors [15:06] <_antant_> Armageddon: Yeah [15:06] <_antant_> I wanted to have vdpau [15:06] _antant_, well you should change the grub options [15:06] Pici: I onle mentioned it because he said he wanted to keep the current installed version. [15:06] !version | R3aKt0r5 [15:06] R3aKt0r5: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:07] that too. though a gui maybe faster [15:07] R3aKt0r5: Are you sure? What does lsb_release -a [15:07] say [15:07] ? [15:07] sorry folx, i meant 7.04. which one is that? [15:08] !7.04 [15:08] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [15:08] <_antant_> Armageddon: to what? I've added in GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1200x24 and it makes no difference [15:08] R3aKt0r5: You really need to get a newer version of Ubuntu. [15:08] i know. kinda old [15:08] but has been working great for me [15:08] R3aKt0r5: not sure what problems you are having but using an old and no longer supported version is one of the problems. [15:08] R3aKt0r5: Why are you installing an out-dated version? [15:08] _antant_, can you paste me your grub.conf please ? [15:09] guys: i've had this configuration b4 and never had any probs [15:09] MeanEYE: hm, obviously gives no errors *now*, 'cause i reset to not have the s-monitor and cannot re-add it... ... have to wait till next reboot. well. how could i start it manually? i dont see 'system-monitor-applet' binary... [15:09] only now that i reinstalled clean i got this error [15:09] <_antant_> Armageddon: You want grub.cfg or /etc/defaults/grub ? [15:10] !grub [15:10] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [15:10] !grub2 [15:10] 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 [15:10] XoD: I don't think it's a binary... at least not a stand alone application [15:10] R3aKt0r5: EOF for 7.04 was October 2008 [15:10] Pici, the bit on the end is my home computer? [15:10] _antant_, I don't know twhere the configuration file is located but yes the configuration file [15:10] right [15:10] newbie01: Yes. [15:10] R3aKt0r5: Why did you re-install? [15:10] i'm downloading lucid as we speak [15:11] <_antant_> Armageddon: Cool. Will do. How do I display the contents of a file? I want to |pastebinit [15:11] _antant_, cat [15:11] I got a question about the full encryption of the disk with the ubuntu alternate 10.10 cd, i want to know what encryption algorithm that it use? if it does not use aes256 is there a way to modify the encryption algorith to aes256 in the install process? [15:11] terry: new hard drive, other one failed [15:11] _antant_, there is a package wallted wgetpaste you can do cet file | wgetpaste [15:11] Pici, I put home/john/Desktop and it says No such file or directory [15:12] newbie01: You need a slash at the beginning of that. [15:12] R3aKt0r5: Ok, well after you're download, just re-install with the new version of Ubuntu and you'll be good to go. [15:12] terry: i hope so then. i'll keep your good advice and also try Wine ;) [15:12] R3aKt0r5: Very good. [15:12] <_antant_> Armageddon: http://pastebin.com/z1FEEaED [15:13] <_antant_> and the pastebinit package works a treat [15:13] _antant_, that's not the configuration file [15:14] join #hadoop [15:15] I'm having problems with Stopmotion program... It says I don't have permission to import files... What can I do? [15:15] whenever I select a picture it says that [15:15] HaPK_PerCar: does that programm requires root priviledges? [15:15] MeanEYE, I don't think so [15:15] HaPK_PerCar: from where are you trying to import them? [15:15] <_antant_> Armageddon: Is this the one you mean? http://kJRQwgJx [15:15] MeanEYE, for my home folder [15:16] <_antant_> ah [15:16] <_antant_> Armageddon: Is this the one you mean? http://pastebin.com/kJRQwgJx [15:16] <_antant_> better [15:16] HaPK_PerCar: other program can read those pictures normally? [15:16] yeah [15:17] _antant_, did you edit this manually ? [15:17] HaPK_PerCar: hm, did you try running that program from terminal? maybe it will give you more information [15:17] MeanEYE, I'll try that [15:17] HaPK_PerCar: sure, then let me know... :) what happens [15:17] hi all [15:17] <_antant_> Armageddon: yeah, as I was told in a guide [15:18] how can i make nautilus icons sorted by name/type for default on all folders? [15:18] _antant_, look at line 9 and line 24 [15:18] dyd, right click -> arrange items -> by name [15:18] I'm having a brain fart. With using SSH from 1 Ubuntu box to another, what do I type in terminal? I thought it was ssh@IP.of.destination.pc. Is that right?? [15:19] MeanEYE, hmmm, it simply says wrong permission [15:19] Roasted_: ssh user@host [15:19] Roasted_: ssh hostname [15:19] Roasted_: user@host yea [15:19] i want to put them in order by type and by name [15:19] MeanEYE, I think it has to do with the preferences in stopmotion [15:19] but it won't remember this setting when i open again the folder [15:19] ahh, thats it pici + ruan. thanks! [15:19] <_antant_> Armageddon: Ah, yeah I have changed it but haven't rebooted yet. Before they were both at 1920x1080x24 and I still had the big ugly one [15:20] HaPK_PerCar: could be... how did you install that application? [15:20] I have an iPad app that connects to VNC servers over SSH. I can remotely connect to my PC, but only after running "x11vnc &" in a terminal. I've tried to do it with the native "enable remote connections" but no luck. Any ideas? [15:20] MeanEYE, through Ubuntu's software center [15:20] _antant_, if you look in all the files its 1920x1080-24 not x24 [15:20] _antant_, and secondly there are conflicting ones, both lines each one give out a resolution ! [15:21] as if not said... it's keeping the setting [15:21] <_antant_> Armageddon: is there anything else I need to change apart from those two to matching? That stupid guide told me to do -24 not x24 [15:21] HaPK_PerCar: hm, weird... well you could try running it with gksu, but I wouldn't suggest that as I am not sure which files that program wants to change [15:21] _antant_, I'm not sure, I still use the old grub [15:22] If I want to download something from the web on a server with no gui, I can just type wget http://www.theurlofthedownload.com. right? [15:22] <_antant_> moment of truth. Here we go! [15:22] _antant_, but listen there are software in the repos that will allow you to change the grub configuration easily [15:22] Roasted_: yep [15:22] ruan, thanks. where does it DL to by default? [15:22] <_antant_> Both set to 1920x1080x24 [15:22] home/user? [15:22] Roasted_: /home/user yep [15:22] ruan, thanks bro! [15:22] is there any s/w on ubuntu similar to keypassword manager [15:22] Roasted_: or the immediate folder you were in when you executed the wget [15:22] Roasted_: it downloads to whatever directory you are in when you run wget (by default) [15:23] I want to have a s/w to keep my password[portable] [15:23] <_antant_> Armageddon: Well. It's not big and ugly now, but it doesn't take up all of my screen [15:23] Roasted_: if you're not too lazy, try [command] --help [15:23] Pici, thanks, Can you pause a download in command line [15:23] _antant_, so it worked ? [15:23] Roasted_: it shows the syntax and usage [15:23] newbie01: Using scp? Not to my knowledge. [15:24] R3aKt0r5: it may have been a problem with grub1 [15:24] Pici, yes I started on wireless but I want to go wired but there will be a disconnetion [15:24] <_antant_> Armageddon: Well it's a lot higher resolution now. It's still not a graphic bootsplash [15:25] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with it's default Firefox & Flash, and some times when I close FF it leaves some glitches on the desktop. My graphic card is NVidia Quadro NVS 140M with 260.19.06 driver. [15:25] ruan, MeanEye, Terry, etc: I figured it out. thanks to this post Terry provided: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-461084.html [15:25] newbie01: you can try ctrl-z and then fg to resume... but the other side will timeout. and this normally doesnt; work while changing connection, because of different ips/macs [15:25] _antant_, I'd suggest you use a grub configuration application, there are 2 amazing ones in the repos [15:26] newbie01: you can use rsync for such cases [15:26] the problem is NOT that hal.dll is missing, or damaged. it's very simple: for some reason the boot.ini entry of the Windows partition points to a different location [15:26] if i put icon size to 33% i can't see the icon text of the icons on the desktop... and if i resize them text is not visible anyway [15:26] <_antant_> Armageddon: which do you recommend? [15:26] newbie01: It's better with rsync if you have interruptions [15:26] XoD, thanks [15:26] any password manager on ubuntu [15:26] newbie01: (which uses scp in the background for you and does resumes automatically) [15:26] thanks all [15:26] _antant_, the one you prefer using ! [15:26] _antant_, you'll have to choose for yourself [15:26] so all i had to do is boot from the Window install CD, go to Recovery Console, type bootcfg /rebuild [15:26] ruan, I can't seem to download java via wget on my server. It just downloads the LINK not the actual java file itself. Any idea offhand? [15:27] bootcfg scans the drive for valid windows systems and lets you add them as separate entries to the boot.ini file [15:27] that's what i did and now i have a working dual-boot system [15:27] how do i get to the natty test room [15:28] Roasted_: what extension is the installer? [15:28] flodine: /join #ubuntu+1 [15:28] <_antant_> Armageddon: well I've got startupmanager and it doesn't do anything [15:28] flodine: #ubuntu+1 [15:28] so the windows error is misleading (anything new with mycroksoft?) [15:28] ruan, .bin. [15:28] <_antant_> what's the other one? [15:28] Roasted_: Install then links or another text web browser and navigate back there. The java download normally requires acknowleding an EULA [15:28] how do i change my password in command line [15:28] _antant_, there is something called grub-config or something [15:28] genii-around, maybe I'll just get off my butt and go download it on the server. It has a gui I'm just trying ssh terminal work .:( [15:28] Roasted_: you can try lynx to download it [15:29] newbie01, passwd [15:29] Roasted_: i've used lynx in ssh :P [15:29] thxs running natty now i like it its sweet. [15:29] ruan : i ran sudo fsck.ext4 -v /dev/xxx .. but it reported clean.. Anything else I can do [15:29] is there a better scope of what will be on the ubuntu cert test than the course outline? [15:29] ruan, is that a program or an OS? [15:30] Roasted_: it's a terminal browser! [15:30] !info lynx [15:30] lynx (source: lynx-cur): Text-mode WWW Browser (transitional package). In component main, is extra. Version 2.8.8dev.3-3 (maverick), package size 210 kB, installed size 248 kB [15:30] ruan, I gotcha. thanks! [15:30] so i think the explanation that flint gives in his post is accurate: the windows partition boot sector gets moved to a different location (by ubuntu installer?) [15:30] I can remotely VNC to my PC over SSH, but only after running "x11vnc &" in a terminal. I've tried to do it with the native "enable remote connections" but no luck. Any ideas? [15:31] ANyone with any solns for this problem.. Google's been a bitch so far...I tried to boot up.. getting this error /* Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(0,0)*/ [15:31] so in order to account for the change, boot.ini must be updated [15:31] does Keepass works on MS application too [15:31] Hello [15:31] hey ubuntu [15:31] induz: Keepass works on windows,is that what you're wondering? [15:31] hey marshall [15:31] marshall: hello,dude [15:32] So the ubuntu installation has been stuck at 21% for a while (Finishing the installation). What do? [15:32] ,gstreamer [15:32] ruan, yes but window is used for other OS also so i would ask' does it work on Xp? [15:32] is there an easy way to add your ssh key to every machine you login to using a password? Is there some way this can be done automatically? [15:32] damn nautilus... if i set default icon size it won't set it for all folders i open BUT it does on the desktop (the part i don't want to change) [15:32] <_antant_> is there a way to reinstall a package [15:32] <_antant_> ?

I was told bonding would be the best way to go. Do you think it would be? I'm not sure if our switches support trunking, but they're gigabit switches by Dell. I would think they might.

The guide I'm reading just didn't say to do anything in the interface file with "auto eth0", so I wasn't sure if I put bond0 in or what.

[16:36] BabyGirl: if you do "ls -l filename" you can see which group has access to the file [16:36] kbrosnan: is this located in the FF profile? [16:36] BabyGirl: its in the 4th column [16:36] candyban - says Cannot open /dev/sda [16:36] lasha, sudo :) [16:37] candyban - oh, hmm ok sek :D.. [16:37] hi all [16:37] ok, well i just wanted to know if we get the option of hiding the unity dock unlike the current 10.10 which it remains a constant part of the desktop? [16:37] good night [16:37] candyban - /dev/sda2 * 4878 6908 15354360 7 HPFS/NTFS [16:37] maco:) can i stop a aplication for asking for keyring at boot under users and groups by giving me permision to the one group for keyring,,if theres any [16:37] RubenAlonzo: in 10.10 it can be hidden [16:37] lasha, ok ... so the partition type is ok. [16:38] ruan how can we hide it in10.10? [16:38] lasha, you have it mounted in Linux? [16:38] hei [16:38] candyban - my assumption is that it is still different cause it was ubuntu formatted. what if i format it from windows then it should work in both right ? [16:38] RubenAlonzo: right click> properties> show hide buttons [16:38] package upgrade information with apt-get < how to? [16:38] candyban: i can mount it right now [16:38] all can help me [16:38] ruan, tha nks i will try that. [16:39] candyban: i am in ubuntu right now [16:39] lasha, yes (but you lose all information that it currently holds) [16:39] lasha, once mounted run "mount | grep sda2" [16:39] imo though, those hide buttons should go transparent after a while [16:39] candyban: ye its 10gig partition so I guess I will go with formatting [16:39] BabyGirl: there's no keyring group. the keyring is a per-user thing [16:39] candyban: ok I ll do [16:39] lasha, where is the fun in that ? :p [16:39] maco:) can i remove keyring,,i hate that :( [16:39] hei [16:39] lasha, anyone can format ... it's much more fun to figure out why it is not working [16:40] candyban: ye ye I just mounted :D I ll run that command sek [16:40] nm-applet stopped working :S [16:40] BabyGirl: the keyring is encrypted. nothing can access its contents until you have typed in your password once, unless you set no password for it, which would make all your password stored in plaintext on your disk in a very insecure fashion [16:40] l8r ruan [16:40] it says there is no available network device [16:40] BabyGirl: if you set your login password & keyring password to the same, the act of typing in your password to login should unlock the keyring though [16:40] i'm in recovery boot, graphical mode keeps crashing, when i ctrl+alt+f1 my login is interrupted by a stream of errors. [16:40] i did install indicator-network [16:40] cya R3aKt0r5 [16:40] and disabled something [16:40] what's the check/repair disk command [16:40] but [16:41] thx for all the help guys [16:41] candyban: /dev/sda2 on /media/CE9C70A49C70892B type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) [16:41] how could i reinstall / re set nm-applet? [16:41] brb gotta go make a sammich [16:41] maco:) it is the same,but i have no password at login,,,thanks i try that,,is better than messing with the system [16:41] RubenAlonzo: omg sammich [16:41] candyban: right now I am giving you information about xp partition right ? dont shoot me :P [16:41] Anyone to help me?!! === doodoo is now known as Dart [16:42] RubenAlonzo: Just one...for ALL of us? [16:42] hosein: what is the problem? [16:42] the errors i see in TTY1, where are they saved? and how do i upload them to pastebin in recovery mode [16:42] lasha, seems all ok to me ... what was the problem in windows? (as you could "see" the partition ... you could not assign a drive letter to it or what?) [16:43] ruan: after changing my vga card, my ubuntu does not startup! how can I solve this? [16:43] so nobody knows anything? [16:43] lasha,ps. were you administrator in windows ? [16:43] How do I get shared folders to work between my host win vista and VM umbuntu 1010? I installed guest additions. I created some shared folders on both sides but something does not work. [16:43] halvor sudo apt-get purge --reinstall nm-applet ? [16:44] maco:) when i go to users and groups it says under Password:asked at login,,,but is not asking me nothing at log in [16:44] hosein: does it come up to a terminal? [16:44] candyban: yep I was, I didnt pay attention to drive letter but It just said bla bla this space free this taken and thats it as i remember [16:44] how do i repair a partition [16:44] BabyGirl: do you have autologin turned on? [16:44] candyban: wait I ll check the same check for the "storage" partition [16:44] andaiii: fsck? [16:44] BabyGirl: that wouldnt be in users & groups, itd be in the login settings [16:44] ruan that's all? [16:44] andaiii: what do you mean by repair? [16:44] lasha, so it did recognize the filesystem? [16:44] !fsck [16:44] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:44] candyban: /dev/sda3 on /media/10GB type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) [16:44] remoteCTRL2: unfortunately doesn'T work [16:44] remoteCTRL2: I mean ubuntu keeps crashing and i dunno what's wrong but it seems to be a I/O error on my root partition [16:45] candyban: thats the output of storage partition that xp doesnt recognize [16:45] remoteCTRL2: might also be the fact my mother dropped this laptop several times [16:45] lasha, if windows doesn't recognize it, it will just say that it does not recognize it and if you want to format [16:45] remoteCTRL2: dpkg: warning: while removing network-manager, directory '/var/lib/NetworkManager' not empty so not removed. [16:45] Regards community [16:45] lasha, if my memory serves me correctly (I haven't been much in windows since 2001) [16:45] also is there a way to get more than one terminal in recovery mode... otherwise i have to keep quitting IRSSI [16:45] halvor well that is not an error but a warning you can ignore it [16:45] Iḿ OScar Mora from Mexico is my first interaction with ubuntu [16:45] candyban: it said unknown for ubuntu filesystem but i think it detected the type of storage partition [16:46] maco:) ok i reboot now to see changes ok,,BRB :) [16:46] remoteCTRL2: okkei [16:46] remoteCTRL2: shall i reboot now? [16:46] andaiii: got the smart monitoring tools installed? [16:46] remoteCTRL2: maybe..? [16:46] ruan: I only see boot loader, and after choosing ubuntu normal a black screen only showed to me. in recovery mode I can see its options [16:46] lasha, it is normal that it will not recognize your ubuntu filesystem (as it is ext2/3/4) [16:46] with SW center always send error [16:46] remoteCTRL2 whether or not i need them, what's the package? [16:46] halvor are you on windows? if not you need not reboot now ;) [16:46] candyban: yes the only option to do anything with other 2 paritions was to format them I guess it didnt know what else to do with them [16:46] lasha, try to assign a drive letter to your storage partition [16:46] Is there a way to force the package manager to use --no-http-keep-alive as a wget parameter? [16:47] <_antant_> Ok, this is getting really bizarre now. When I shut down I get a very low res graphic splash screen. When I boot up I get no splash screen at all but I do get a cursor very briefly in a high resolution. What the heck is going on?? Anyone got any clue at all? [16:47] it doesnt install the pachage [16:47] andaiii: gimme a sec [16:47] hosein: try regenerating xorg.conf [16:47] how to do that? [16:47] if i have a file on a samba server on my network, is there a command-line way to retreive a file from it? i don't want to have to deal with mounting and unmounting shares [16:47] remoteCTRL2: i'm using ubuntu (no windiws installed), managed to connect with ifconfig and dhclient [16:47] Quick general new question - when installing java does class path need to be manipulated in any way to avoid terminal errors? === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [16:47] hosein: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak [16:47] ruan: how? [16:47] ok [16:47] remoteCTRL2: but the applet would be great [16:48] andaiii: sudo apt-get install smartmontools [16:48] all can help me about php-gd not support image anti aliasing [16:48] candyban: I think I found the problem, storage partition is sda3, it says type of Linux(0x83), that should be a problem i guess [16:48] kdub_: I think you want smbclient. [16:48] halvor so what happened to it? [16:48] remoteCTRL2 is there a way to do that without quitting IRSSI [16:48] halvor is it just not there or what? [16:48] ruan: any thing needed to know for me? I must restart my windows to run your suggested command [16:48] lasha, yes ... that should be 0x7 [16:48] andaiii: i am afraid i wouldnt know what that is? [16:48] andaiii: there would be if you used screen [16:48] !info irssi [16:49] irssi (source: irssi): terminal based IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.15-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 1067 kB, installed size 2876 kB [16:49] !info screen [16:49] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 595 kB, installed size 1020 kB [16:49] remoteCTRL2: first it got messed up...couldn't disconnect from wifi networks, then i installed indicator-network instead, that showed no wifi networks [16:49] candyban: but at the same time it is ntfs, doesnt make sense, how do i change it to 0x7, possible without format ? [16:49] remoteCTRL2 you see, i'm in recovery mode [16:49] remoteCTRL2: now nm-applet says there are no network devices [16:49] ruan: so.. quit, install screen, ??? [16:49] lasha, "sudo /dev/sda" ... then type "t", "3", "7", "w" (without quotes, commas and a return after each) [16:49] hey peoples [16:49] andaiii: well go for it then i will still be here in 1,5 min;) [16:49] andaiii: also, know screen's hotkeys [16:49] man screen xD [16:49] brb [16:50] halvor: what does lspci | grep wifi say? [16:50] remoteCTRL2: nothing [16:51] i am traying to figure out using iptables how to accept connection only with my country ip range, and drop others. Can anyone help me? [16:51] candyban: command not found on all trials [16:51] lasha, sorry ... sudo fdisk /dev/sda [16:51] halvor: ok try just lspci and look for the wifi card [16:51] remoteCTRL2: iwconfig returns with "wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any ...." [16:51] candyban: haha its ok ^^ [16:51] maco:) i still get keyring for a aplication tryng to acces it [16:51] IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any [16:51] Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm [16:51] Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off [16:51] Power Management:off [16:51] halvor: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:52] I'm trying to bond 2 network interfaces together, and it looks like it works, except my 2nd interface keeps pulling a DHCP address. Any ideas? [16:52] woops [16:52] BabyGirl: did you get the login screen? [16:52] maco:) yes i did :( [16:52] halvor: halvor: hehe [16:52] candyban: it had same output its like 15 line output [16:52] i'm using ubuntu 10.10: is there a way to import osx keychains? :) [16:53] BabyGirl: in the keyring settings software (it's called Seahorse and was in Applications -> Accessories but idk if it still is... you can just run "seahorse") make sure your keyring password matches your login password [16:53] lasha, ? ... sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [16:54] candyban: dude I have to run now :\ class is over wait i ll do that too [16:54] didn't it say syncing disks? [16:54] maco:) and i dont know how to mess with this keyring for nothing,,i delet all of them,,and i have to imput passwords back again thinking keyring wont be on my way [16:54] remoteCTRL2: i think the card is okkei [16:54] candyban: /dev/sda1 1 4877 36864000 83 Linux [16:54] /dev/sda2 * 4878 6908 15354360 7 HPFS/NTFS [16:54] /dev/sda3 6909 8271 10297344 83 Linux [16:54] remoteCTRL2: wicd showed my networks [16:54] erm... [16:54] remoteCTRL2: i must have messed something up with indicator-networks [16:55] lasha, did you run the commands "t", "3", "7", "w" ? [16:55] lasha, when in fdisk [16:55] halvor: paste me the contents of /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to nopaste.org or whatever [16:56] candyban: it outputed sometihng but that doesnt make sense [16:56] lasha, ? it usually makes sense to someone :) [16:56] candyban: sudo /dev/sda 3 this for example [16:56] lasha, ;p [16:56] bla [16:56] candyban: but whatever I wrote on place of 3 had same output === root is now known as andaiii [16:56] maco:) ok i change the 2 folders i see on there,,the password is changed for login,and default,,will that be all ? [16:57] remoteCTRL2 remoteCTRL1 what now [16:57] lasha, "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" [16:57] bla too [16:57] <_antant_> Aha. I now have a shutdown screen in a proper resolution. Still no boot splash thought [16:57] <_antant_> though [16:57] andaiii: status update?

[16:58] how to repair bad sectors in ubunto [16:58] pls ask new_1 [16:58] I'm trying to bond 2 network interfaces together, and it looks like it works, except my 2nd interface keeps pulling a DHCP address. Any ideas? [16:58] i am just new here [16:58] do a fsck [16:58] remoteCTRL2: the file is empty! [16:58] first time [16:58] andaiii: smartmontools, have a look at the manpages [16:58] new_1: man fsck [16:58] candyban: i killed terminal it says DOS-compatible mode is deprecated [16:58] i was a window fan === herton_lunch is now known as herton [16:58] now i am trying ubunto [16:58] Jmax: fsck won't repair sectors [16:58] k [16:58] new_1: fsck is like chkdsk for ubuntu [16:58] I'm getting an error on boot "the disk drive /home is not ready yet or not present" ... I've tried to follow the advice in the ubuntu forums (found a few posts) but am coming up empty [16:58] ikonia: oh, it doesn't? [16:58] Jmax: no, just file systems [16:58] do u know any good books, if i wanna be pro in ubunto and linux?? [16:58] hellooo [16:58] new_1: tons on amazon [16:59] i am traying to figure out using iptables how to accept connection only with my country ip range, and drop others. Can anyone help me? [16:59] halvor: i doubt that... what did you open it with? [16:59] remoteCTRL2: whats the command? nothing for man smartmontools [16:59] did now === root is now known as andaiii [16:59] remoteCTRL2: gedit [16:59] It appears that my /home directory was changed from an ext4 fs to an ext3 fs somewhere and I was wondering if it was possible to recover the data on it... [16:59] pale_: what is your country ip range [16:59] can we talk in private? [16:59] lasha, you can ignore that warning [16:59] is there a way to hide or use fake ip address - ubuntu 10.10 ? [16:59] new_1: no need to, the channel is for ubuntu support and people are happy to help [16:59] halvor: you must have gotten the path wrong;) [16:59] candyban: Command action [16:59] a toggle a bootable flag [16:59] b edit bsd disklabel [16:59] c toggle the dos compatibility flag [16:59] d delete a partition [16:59] l list known partition types [16:59] lasha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:59] hezinho: hide from what ? [16:59] i have list ther is many of them [17:00] craigslist !!!! [17:00] ? [17:00] either way, how do i repair boot partition? [17:00] remoteCTRL2: yeah, my bad. sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/584907/ [17:00] new_1 I only know the ubuntu for beginner 5th edition, just got it, dont know about any pro ones, can prolly just google one though [17:00] lasha, "t" (change type) ... partition "3" ... type "7" (NTFS) ... "w" (write and exit) [17:00] andaiii: man smartctl it is [17:00] pale_: ok, so you want to look at the -J accept policy then use the ranges, #netfilter is the iptables support channel so you can get more detailed help there too [17:00] I'm trying to bond 2 network interfaces together, and it looks like it works, except my 2nd interface keeps pulling a DHCP address. Any ideas? [17:00] hello [17:00] Roasted_: can you paste your configs for both in a pastebin please. [17:00] quit [17:00] craigslist put me on there blocked ip list [17:01] hey peoples [17:01] hezinho: sorry, we don't help with that sort of thing [17:01] halvor: set the managed=false in there to =true, then sudo /etc/init.d/nm-something restart and see what happens [17:01] candyban: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. [17:01] The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at [17:01] the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) [17:01] Syncing disks. [17:01] lasha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:01] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/jzKs5XFy [17:01] what's here [17:01] I'm getting an error on boot "the disk drive /home is not ready yet or not present" ... I've tried to follow the advice in the ubuntu forums (found a few posts) but am coming up empty [17:01] lasha, yes ... good ... (you have /dev/sda1 mounted as your root) ... but the partition table is altered ... when you reboot it should be ok (also in windows hopefully) [17:02] can any recommend something else than wine ] [17:02] zerocool: virtualbox [17:02] candyban: thanks man very much! you helped enough :D I have to run :P I am sure it will be fine :) THanks again! [17:02] I use vmware [17:02] zerocool, beer? [17:02] Roasted_: ok, this is common in RHEL and I'd assume it's the same here, you need an entry for both your other NIC's confirming they are nothing, eg: so they are "blanked" before going into the bond [17:02] sound good [17:02] virtualbox [17:03] Roasted_: also check out and make sure nothing like network manager has a grip on one of them also [17:03] ikonia, do I need a 2nd entry with bond0:0 for the 2nd card? I thought they'd both point (etho and eth1) to the same bond. [17:03] lasha, bye [17:03] ikonia, there is no network manager. [17:03] bye [17:03] zerocool, windows ? [17:03] Roasted_: bond0:0 is a virtual interface on the bond, so no, you shouldn't need that [17:03] remoteCTRL2 I passed the health test. What next [17:03] ikonia, I allready create som rules for blocking some IP ranges but it takes long time doing it for every country,so better way is to only allow certan range of IP (my country)..i am doing this only becaouse of brute force attacks from china america japan and other country [17:03] i also used vmware but everyone seems to use virtualbox, so yeah [17:03] zerocool, reactos ? [17:03] Roasted_: however an entry for eth0 and eth1 to "null" them may help [17:03] ikonia, hm, then I'm completely lost. EVERY guide I've read has said to do what I did here, with 1 or 2 mentioning bond0:0 [17:03] aim using ubuntu ultimete [17:04] !ultimate | zerocool [17:04] zerocool: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [17:04] ubuntu ultimate? [17:04] hello peoples [17:04] and i have install win 7 [17:04] Roasted_: you understand what :1 or:0 after a network card does in general yes/no ? [17:04] zerocool, dosemu ? .... freedos ... it all depends on your requirements [17:04] ikonia, my goal is to have both NICs on the same IP to boost speed for our thin client lab. [17:04] uhh [17:04] thank [17:04] ikonia, I knew it was a virtual interface. I just wasn't sure if that was needed for bonding. [17:04] remoteCTRL2: unfortunately nothing has changed [17:04] <_antant_> Can I change the plymouth theme manually? all tools I've tried don't do anything [17:04] Howdy all! How do I refresh verification of public keys? I get the following error when I try to update apt-get: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 [17:04] remoteCTRL2: maybe i'll follow these steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [17:04] ikonia, the guides I read mentioning bond0:0 also had a separate IP for the virtual interface, which I don't really want. I'd like to have 1 IP for both NICs to handle the load. [17:04] andaiii: well if you passed the healthtest and fsck did not report any errors my guess is that your data should be safe [17:05] remoteCTRL2: but it's not for 10.10 :S [17:05] Roasted_: ok cool, so you're not starting from scratch, bond0 is your virtual nic, so that's what has the IP's you want to add eth0 and eth1 so no need to reference bond0:0 [17:05] i have the same probleme like econdudeawesome, [17:05] but u should wait [17:05] I'm getting an error on boot "the disk drive /home is not ready yet or not present" ... I've tried to follow the advice in the ubuntu forums (found a few posts) but am coming up empty [17:05] or put the key server [17:05] Roasted_: you also need a mii-mode so the cards no if it's round robin, load balanced mode etc [17:05] remoteCTRL2, ? ... smartmon ? [17:05] halvor: erm... nope! dont! [17:05] hey whats the code for winehq [17:06] ikonia, well I did create a file somewhere with a miimode entry... downdelay updelay etc... [17:06] !appdb [17:06] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:06] remoteCTRL2: okkei [17:06] ikonia, I forget where it was tho. let me see if I can find that guide. It was /etc/modprobe.d or something [17:06] candyban: are you andaii? [17:06] ayrton_: code? [17:06] remoteCTRL2: just looked in /etc/network/interfaces so far... [17:06] remoteCTRL2, never tell anyone their data is fine when they complain about a dying disk [17:06] Roasted_: great, that's an important bit [17:06] ikonia, ifenslave.conf [17:06] Roasted_: perfect, in module config makes sense [17:06] yeah u i mean like join wine or w/e [17:06] ikonia, heres the contents of the ifenslave.conf alias bond0 bonding [17:06] options bonding mode=6 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200 [17:06] Roasted_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [17:06] ayrton_: #winehq [17:06] candyban: aye sir! and you are? [17:06] ty [17:07] Roasted_: that is a great way of doing it, simple and obvious, [17:07] join #winehq [17:07] ... [17:07] /join [17:07] guys how can i stop empathy and gwiber for asking me to keyring ? [17:07] remoteCTRL2, more worried about data then you apparently :p [17:07] it doesn't require scripts to slave cards in, it does it through the network status, [17:07] BabyGirl: you can just get rid of the keyring [17:07] halvor: did you restart the network manager? [17:07] ikonia, wait, I still need an auto eth0 entry? [17:07] Hello. Should I use 64-bit on a server? [17:07] It gives me an option of either, but not sure? [17:07] ikonia, auto eth0 and auto bond0 [17:07] Roasted_: no, look at the example [17:07] BabyGirl: in that case, they should each ask for the password every time you use them [17:07] remoteCTRL2, I've lost too many data in my lifetime to tell anyone their data is safe [17:07] candyban: ehehe apparently, yes:P [17:07] ikonia, I am. [17:07] James_Hoff_120: if you use more than 4gb of ram [17:07] ikonia, that's where I read it. [17:08] ikonia, under 10.04 and newer. [17:08] candyban: tell me about it;) [17:08] Roasted_: eth1 and eth2 are in the bond, eth0 is just a nic [17:08] is there any chance that recovering files off a partition could happen fairly easily? [17:08] how to use ubuntu 10.10 as a media server to work with ps3 ? [17:08] oh [17:08] ruan: 256MB ram on server [17:08] vps [17:08] remoteCTRL2, ok ... but only because you asked ... :p [17:08] BabyGirl: or you could set the keyring's password to be blank, which would mean your gwibber & empathy passwords are stored in plain text and anyone with access to your computer can find them, assuming you have not encrypted your hard drive (in which case, they'd still be mostly safe) [17:08] James_Hoff_120: then 32bit [17:08] candyban: can you handle raid 5? [17:08] ikonia, so I need miimon in the interface file under the bond listing? [17:08] Roasted_: that exmaple has 3 nics, eth0 just on it's own and a bond with eth1 and 2 in it in load balancing mode [17:08] candyban: :D go ahead then! [17:08] ikonia, oh I see. [17:08] remoteCTRL2, sure, but I prefer raid6 any day [17:08] ikonia, I took that the wrong way. [17:09] ikonia, I'll be honest, I'm not really understanding where I went wrong then. [17:09] candyban: well i got a situatin here *ggg* [17:09] how does one check the mounted root filesystem without causing extreme damage, or how does one tell ubuntu to do this at boot [17:09] maco:) i did what you told me to and i steel be ask for keyrin,i can do that,,no one uses this PC [17:09] Roasted_: that's just an example of a guys box, not copy this file for a bonding cvonfig, you'll need to apply that config to your config [17:09] ikonia, right. I'd just have to plug my numbers in. [17:09] remoteCTRL2, upgrade from lvm -> lvm2 ...bye bye data (unable to read meta data) [17:09] Roasted_: correct, and remove what you don't need, eth0 doing dhcp [17:09] ikonia, oh, I see bond-slaves there. I didnt have that before. [17:09] ikonia, it'd be nice if these fricken guides said to do some of this stuff. [17:09] Roasted_: because you are doing the adding as a slave option, which from my experience is poor [17:09] remoteCTRL2, raid-0 (I was foolish in the day) ... can you say: DriveSeekError ? [17:10] Roasted_: always use official ubuntu guides, they do tell you the right way of doing things [17:10] candyban: ouch... i thought i was somewhat on the safe side with my raid 5 but that turned out to be a bad mistake... [17:10] maco:) i can uncheck the password and ecryptions icon in edit menu so it wont even be on menu [17:10] Roasted_ i'm curious, what are you trying to do? [17:10] hi, i have an issue with a bluetooth serial module [17:10] Roasted_: the way you seem to be trying to do it is quite dirty in my opinion [17:10] its connected as /dev/rfcomm4 [17:10] ikonia, wait, what I'm doing is a poor idea? [17:10] candyban: aaaahahahaha, yepp but i dont like the word [17:10] remoteCTRL2, raid rebuilding from the wrong disk [17:10] and i can get data through, but its intermittently garbled [17:10] andaiii, I have 2 NIC's. I'd like to bond them to 1 IP address to double the throughput for this server. [17:10] Roasted_: no no, bonding is great, no complaint, I mean how you are implementing bonding [17:10] any ideas why this may be? [17:10] is there any opensource framework for adsl modems lik dd-wrt? [17:10] ikonia, well, what's the best way of doing it? [17:10] Roasted_ aha, thx :P [17:10] Roasted_: the guide I've just given you [17:11] Roasted_: make sure you read it all though, so you understand the modes etc [17:11] maco:) so i run seahorse and clean the password for defaults folder ? [17:11] ikonia, oh. But it mentions bond-slave in the interface file that you just gave me. Then you mentioned slave is poor, so I got confused. [17:11] candyban: see, such things are just what i was trying to avoid, and since you appear to be competent enuff on the topic would you like to try and help me repair a broken raid 5? [17:11] remoteCTRL2, raid 50 (never do that again either) ... channel gone => raid gone (thanks 3ware for giving us the heads-up) [17:11] Roasted_: no, I mentioned the way you are adding a slave in your example is poor [17:11] Roasted_: if you are doing a bond you need slaves [17:11] remoteCTRL2, depends how broken [17:11] when i do fsck -C -a /dev/sda5 (mounted root partition) it tells me that's gonna fsck everything up. How do I fix my drive without fscking everything up? [17:11] remoteCTRL2, if you lost 2 disks ... you are on your own [17:11] candyban: well ... little myterious: [17:12] candyban: eehehehe i sort of did, yes but on the other hand... [17:12] I'd really like to try and recover my /home directory, I'm getting a message saying it is not ready yet or available... Is there any hope? [17:12] remoteCTRL2, just take it from your backup ... oh wait ... you didn't? [17:12] <_antant_> Can anyone help me with my splash screen problem? I've managed to get graphic splash screens working again but now both boot up and shut down ones are in incredibly low resolution. I've tried loads of different methods to get it working but to no avail. I'm using the nvidia proprietary drivers [17:12] andaiii: you need to have it unmounted to fsck it [17:12] candyban: the seem to be perfectly online with all tools, like fdsisk shows a proper output aso [17:12] Howdy all! How do I refresh verification of public keys? I get the following error when I try to update apt-get: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 [17:12] andaiii: boot from your install cd and do fsck with it unmounted [17:12] ruan aha! can i do that, just like that? [17:12] andaiii: First then do sudo mount -o remount,ro / (mounts that root partition read-only) then fsck is safe to run on it [17:13] candyban: but mdadm seems to find only two of them... [17:13] what if i unmount it now? then it won't be able to load the fsck binaries, will it? lol === Abhijit_ is now known as Abhijit [17:13] ahh [17:13] candyban: one was broken, i know that so i exchanged it but somehow anotherone went missing now and i sort of dont get why or where to...:) [17:13] remoteCTRL2, did you try to check the individual disks? [17:13] genii-around ooh i didn't know it was safe as long as it's mounted ro. thanks for the tip! [17:13] remoteCTRL2, ouch [17:14] remoteCTRL2, how much data was on there? [17:14] candyban: frankly spoken i didn not try alot yet out of respekt of finally really losing those data... [17:14] remoteCTRL2, and how important? [17:14] candyban: 1,3TB [17:14] i can't unmount / it says device is busy [17:14] in terms of how many years of blood sweat n' tears? :D [17:14] remoteCTRL2, movies/mp3 ... or "real" data? [17:15] ikonia, do you think the bond-slaves entry alone is why eth1 didnt attach to bond0? [17:15] candyban: 200gig self ripped mp3, and dude, i mean it! ~1TB documentaries and then, yes some folders with what you would call "real data", therefore the raid... [17:16] is there any opensource framework for adsl modems lik dd-wrt? [17:16] hello folks. I convinced my cousin to install ubuntu and he is running into a few problems. Helping out over the phone is not really working out. Is there remote terminal applications that can work over public ip. I'm in new york and he is in houston,tx [17:16] amin_: Thats not really on-topic for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##networking [17:16] hi all [17:17] how do i tell ubuntu to check filesystem at next book [17:17] boot [17:17] without deliberately corrupting it :D [17:17] remoteCTRL2, what does mdadm -E /dev/sdx[123] say ? (fill in x and 123) [17:18] for some reason, gnome-panel isn't displaying as it should when i login. other accounts work fine but i need to ctrl-alt-F1 to get to the terminal to quit my session. anyone else have trouble with this? [17:18] andaiii, check tune2fs [17:18] candyban: will do just a sec pls [17:18] andaiii: try "sudo touch /forcefsck", and reboot. [17:18] sipior what [17:18] sipior i see weird \ symbols [17:19] andaiii: sorry, annoying irc client. try "sudo touch /forcefsck", and reboot. [17:19] sipior so make a file in root directory called "forcefsck" ? [17:19] okay :) [17:19] sipior, cool ... i always forced it by tune2fs ... but how does it know which drives to check? [17:19] candyban: humm, that produces quite some output, i need to paste that, sec pls [17:20] candyban: it looks for a "forcefsck" file at the root of every volume in /etc/fstab. [17:21] sipior, k ... thanks for the info :) [17:22] candyban: here we go: http://pastebin.com/n0Rpzghp [17:22] can anyone direct me to the resource that explains the execution order of profiles and specifically /etc/profile.d/ ? [17:22] i want to use a shell script there to load RVM, but i need to be sure it's the last thing that executes [17:23] hello folks please help me help another person. My cousin is also running ubuntu and I want to be able to remotely login to his system, can you please recommend an application I can use to do that ? [17:23] bradland: read /etc/profile [17:23] i'm using ubuntu 10.10: is there a way to import osx keychains? :) [17:23] ezy: ssh can allow you to connect to his box in a terminal [17:23] ikonia, well I copied that config exactly, now I have 0 connectivity. :( [17:23] sipior: actually I think it only looks for forcefsck in the root volume.. [17:23] bradland: I do not know what RVM is [17:23] candyban: according to this two disks are spare which i dont get att all because it should only be one [17:24] psusi: might be. i would hope that it would consult every entry in fstab. do you have documentation indicating this one way or another? [17:24] bastidrazor, thanks...but I wanted a graphical view...are there apps for that ? [17:24] ezy: teamviewer [17:24] jrib: thanks! i'm having a look in /etc/profile now. am i correct in understanding that this is what bootstraps the entire profile loading process? [17:24] bradland: as far as I can tell, yes [17:24] Does anybody know how I can bond two network interfaces together? Every guide I've followed hasn't worked and I'm a little pressed to get this server running... [17:24] remoteCTRL2, you had raid 5 with 4 disks (of which 1 was spare?) [17:25] ruan, thanks a lot...let me give that a try [17:25] jrib: RVM is "Ruby Version Manager". it's a set of scripts that automates the process of compiling, maintaining, and organizing multiple versions of ruby and rubygems [17:25] candyban: i had raid 5 with 4 disks, all four were in use [17:25] Is there a visual fstab editor? (That makes it easy to use blkid?) [17:25] remoteCTRL2, no spares? [17:25] candyban: code 1: mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde1: Device or resource busy [17:25] mdadm: /dev/sde1 has no superblock - assembly aborted [17:25] bradland: I see. Surely its documentation advises how to start it? === play4_ is now known as play4 [17:26] sipior: no, I don't... but I'm now about curious enough to go look at the source code and find out ;) [17:26] candyban: currently not, nope... i seriously regret it :D [17:26] psusi: let me know what you find :-) [17:26] Howdy all! How do I refresh verification of public keys? I get the following error when I try to update apt-get: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 [17:26] jrib: they suggest adding contents to the end of ~/.bashrc for each user [17:26] is this the place to ask questions about problems with ubuntu? [17:26] blubb: yes [17:26] bradland: you are installing rvm for every user on your system then? [17:27] remoteCTRL2, I'm afraid I can't help you either ... 3 out of 4 disks say that there are 2 faulty disks ... [17:27] ok after my battery went empty while going into suspend i cannot restart my system [17:27] candyban: oh hell... [17:27] it just dumps me on an ash shell, and doesnt find init. [17:27] remoteCTRL2, you could either go to a specialized shop which will try to recover what they can [17:28] remoteCTRL2, or you could try and hope for the best with a --force option [17:28] candyban: i will go on experimenting during the weekend, i might have unplugged the wrong one accidentally, although my hopoes are down... [17:28] Alerberto Milone wins again : http://albertomilone.wordpress.com/2006/07/27/pysdm-a-gui-for-fstab/ [17:28] grub sees the files on my drive but it can't be mounted by the live cd [17:28] dmesg gives me a lot of ata errors [17:28] remoteCTRL2, have you been writing on the array ? [17:28] candyban: id rather see if i find a less invasive way to go on... *g* [17:28] candyban: sure have, why? [17:28] jrib: yes, my desire is to have it load for every user. [17:29] psusi: yes, i see it now. in /etc/init/mountall.sh. looks like it only checks for the file in the system root. [17:29] jrib: i'd simply add it to .bashrc for each user, but it also requires that i remove the return statement from the .bashrc. [17:29] I'd really like to try and recover my /home directory, I'm getting a message saying it is not ready yet or available... Is there any hope? [17:29] can anyone help me there? [17:29] bradland: I'm reading http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ and I see that they want to make sure it loads at the very end. The issue is a user's ~/.profile will run AFTER the system wide profile [17:29] jrib: just seems kind of kludgy and repetitive [17:29] gbear14275: you keep repeating that, what have you done so far [17:29] it seems helvetica isn in corefonts anymore. what is th ebest way to obtain helvetica for 10.10? [17:29] blubb: did you try "startx" at the shell? [17:30] ikonia: ran e2fsk [17:30] blubb: I should ask, which version are you using? [17:30] gbear14275: and what did it say [17:30] jrib: yeah, also notice that it requires you to remove/alter any return statements in .bashrc [17:30] ikonia: also tried to look at the blkid and fstab entries [17:30] 10.10 [17:30] noü [17:30] so candyban, i stand corrected. the init script only looks for the file in the system root directory. [17:30] Roasted_: it's not just copying that config, did you read the whole thing as I suggested ? [17:30] blubb: ubuntu, kubuntu, etc., server/desktop/netbook etc. [17:30] ikonia: said it was fine :-? [17:30] Roasted_: sorry for the slow response I was away from the keyboard [17:30] *nope its a busybox terminal, the kernel panics. ubuntu desktop [17:30] gbear14275: ok, it's fine, what's the problem [17:31] ikonia, yes, I read it. I didn't COPY the data. I just wrote my own based on that template. [17:31] bradland: hmm, weird [17:31] Roasted_: can you pastebin it for me please ? [17:31] Roasted_: did you update /etc/modprove.d/bonding.conf [17:31] remoteCTRL2, the more you wrote on the array ... the more the disks will be out of sync (=> corruption if you restart the array) [17:32] jrib: it appears there are conflicting requirements. A) it needs to run after everything, and B) it needs to run for login and non-login shells [17:32] ikonia, I can't. I have no internet on the server now... [17:32] candyban: psusi: i was hoping it hooked into the fsck determination made by the last column in /etc/fstab. ah well. [17:32] ikonia, bonding.conf? [17:32] blubb: So to recap: your computer was in suspend mode and hte battery died, and now you cannot boot it at all. You were using the standard, plain vanilla Ubuntu Desktop (GNOME). Trying to run startx causes the kernel to panic. Does that sum it up? [17:32] ikonia, it was ifenslave.conf [17:32] Roasted_: yes, [17:32] ikonia, should I name it bonding? [17:32] bradland: I guess rvm modifies PATH? [17:32] Roasted_: where in that guide does it say use ifenslave.conf ? [17:32] nope. [17:32] jrib: heavily [17:32] candyban: in that case the damage done is gonna be huge... [17:32] Roasted_: I told you to read the guide not just change that one config file [17:32] ikonia, the other guide is where I created ifenslave.conf. Maybe that's where it got crossed up. [17:32] sipior: that's just the order fsck should be done in, not whether it should be done or not [17:32] remoteCTRL2, do you have access to your data now? [17:32] ikonia: I can try to pastebin it but I have to trype it in by hand... can't get network up as the boot process stalls [17:32] Roasted_: yes, I have no doubt which is why I said to read it [17:33] jrib: it creates a structure of directories under ~/.rvm/ that are dynamically prepended to your PATH so that the appropriate ruby interpreter is loaded [17:33] remoteCTRL2, didn't it give errors when you were writing to the disk? (Never tried to write to a borked array before) [17:33] ikonia, I did read it. :P [17:33] psusi: right, but that would be the time to check for that file. [17:33] gbear14275: whats the summary [17:33] ikonia: i don't think so... I can look at the /etc/modprove.d/bonding.inf [17:33] my computer was going into hibernate and battery died. upon booting, the kernel cannot mount my root file system and does therefore not find /sbin/init. [17:33] Roasted_: you didn't or you wouldn't have put info in the wrong file [17:33] candyban: i would like to thank you for your efforts, but i thinki will leave it for now and check the disks again on saturday or so... [17:33] jrib: the whole thing is really a kludge for the fact that the ruby developers can't come to an agreement with distribution package maintainers [17:33] and therefore kernel panics. [17:33] gbear14275: why are you looking at bonding ? [17:33] sad really [17:33] ikonia, still no internet. [17:33] lol [17:34] remoteCTRL2, k ...good luck ... hope you'll recover (at least some of) your data [17:34] Roasted_: of course not, if your config is messed up there will be no interenet, that is no surprise [17:34] ikonia, what config file are you referring to. interfaces or bonding? [17:34] blubb: got it. This is out of my expertise. Does anyone else know how to help blubb? [17:34] sipior: and it looks like it forces a fsck of all filesystems, using the order specified in /etc/fstab [17:34] ikonia, sec. [17:34] Roasted_: what ? how do I know what config files your using, you're meant to use the config files in the guide [17:34] psusi: yep. [17:34] Roasted_: you can use bonding.conf or the interfaces file if your using 10.04 or later, but don't create a conflict [17:34] bradland: ok, I think you'll have to bite the bullet and do it at the user level. Maybe #bash can advise you better [17:34] candyban: nope, i do not have access, but i am not quite giving up yet, the command i learned from you will help me in the process ( guess i missed the -E switch *g*) [17:35] econdudeawesome: there seems to be something wrong with my hd or file system. [17:35] I have 2 network cards, eth0 for internet eth1 for LAN, when eth0 in enabled I cannot access the net, all requests seem to go to eth1 [17:35] Hodr: look at your default gateway [17:35] psusi: i even stumbled onto a debian bug report requesting the ability to fsck just the root filesystem. guess that hasn't gone anywhere yet. [17:35] Roasted, which howto's have you been following? [17:35] eth1 I mean [17:35] ikonia, so overall, I need /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf with those 2 alias lines, and I need ifenslave installed, and I need to edit my network interface file accordingly to what was said in your link. Right? [17:35] Roasted_: no [17:35] Roasted_: you may not need either [17:35] i would guess hd, since dd gives me errors when i try to copy data to an image [17:35] jrib: thanks for pondering it :) i'm just going to update skel to alter the offending '[ -z "$PS1" ] && return' call and do the rvm addition through a file append operation [17:36] you don't need ifenslave installed, it's nothing to do with this guide [17:36] READ the guide, actually read and absorb what it's saying to you [17:36] ikonia how do I set my default GW? [17:36] ikonia, I appreciate your help, but I've read your guide. I'll ask someone else who may know the answer. Thank you anyway. [17:36] Roasted_: I know the answer, I have bonding working [17:36] ikonia, well I'm following your guide. [17:36] and I have no internet. [17:36] Roasted_: ok so why are you talking about bonding.conf or ifenslave.conf [17:36] Roasted_, try on a virtual machine first [17:37] ikonia, but hang on. I'll go over my configs a 3rd time. Give me a moment. [17:37] Roasted_: what version of ubuntu ar eyou using [17:37] candyban, no virtual machine. [17:37] 10.10 [17:37] Roasted_: ok, so were does it say to put the config [17:37] bradland: have you tried just dropping it at the end of ~/.profile instead? [17:37] ikonia, bonding.conf existed from the previous guide. It has no bearing here unless its existence could be why its fouling out. [17:37] Roasted, what is the purpose of your bond ? [17:37] Roasted_: it will be conflictint [17:37] sipior: for that, use tune2fs ;) [17:37] conflicting [17:37] candyban, I have 2 NICs. I want to bond them to 1 and use 1 IP on them to double my throughput [17:37] ikonia, let me nuke this file then [17:37] psusi: yep. [17:38] Roasted_, and what will you be using on the other side? === blubb is now known as marufaberlin [17:38] jrib: i need to explore the conditions under which Ubuntu loads ~/.profile vs ~/.bashrc [17:38] candyban, LTSP thin clients. [17:38] hi where is apache config on ubuntu 10.10?? [17:38] Roasted, on the switch [17:38] ikonia, file deleted. restarted network service. no internet. [17:38] jrib: i'm moving over from CentOS a while back and a brief stint with Debian lenny [17:38] candyban, on what? [17:38] Roasted_: ok, so can you show me your interfaces file please ? [17:39] ikonia, I'll have to retype it... since I have no internet on the server... sec [17:39] jessij: /etc/apache2 [17:39] jrib: going to grab some lunch but will be back at this in about an hour. thanks again for your insights. [17:39] Roasted_: copy it to a usb stick and pastebin it on your current machine [17:39] bradland: well ~/.profile will get loaded at login so you can think of it as modifying your whole gui environment. Then when you open up a terminal, things like PATH will be inherited (and every time you open up a terminal ~/.bashrc will get sourced) [17:39] how would i modify the port in midpssh? hostname:port ? [17:39] Roasted_: or something to that effect [17:40] bradland: nothing in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [17:40] blubb: I'm not sure. Are you able to access the files at all? It sounds like you have a major hard drive crash if that is the case [17:40] ikonia, I have no usb stick here. I'll just type it. [17:40] jessij: /etc/apache2/apache.conf [17:40] why is there a blank httpd.conf [17:40] ? [17:40] jessij: you're probably looking for apache2.conf [17:40] where is index.html defined? [17:41] so i change it to index.php? [17:41] Roasted_, usually you use bonding for failover ... when you want bonding the way you describe it, you need a switch which supports e.g. LACP [17:41] jessij: if you have index.php it should get used by default [17:41] I think... [17:41] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/1WxPGD09 [17:41] Roasted_, why don't you just use 2 interfaces with 2 IPs and have each serve 50% of your thin clients? [17:42] candyban, because I'd have to edit a ton of config files so the clients would split the load 50 50, because by default, they wont [17:42] jessij: yes, I am correct. See: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf [17:42] candyban, I talked to the LTSP developers and theys aid just bond it. It's far easier. [17:42] Roasted_: what kind of thin clients are you using? [17:42] candyban, LTSP [17:42] Roasted_: why have you got bond mode 802.3ad ? [17:42] ikonia, because it was in your link [17:42] I had it out the first time, made no difference [17:42] ikonia: I apologize, looks like I lost connection to the channel somehow [17:42] Roasted_: I told you to read the link so you understood the bond modes [17:42] I didn't have it there originally [17:42] Roasted_: you said you had read it [17:42] and it didn't work [17:42] I did [17:43] Roasted_, since it is so easy, why don't the LTSP developers supply you with a working solution? [17:43] Roasted_: you need a bond mode, but not 802.3ad [17:43] candyban, they do. bonding. [17:43] can anyone help i am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 from 9.04 [17:43] is there minimum requirements for a sites-available/site file? jrib ? [17:43] can just the documentroot be in there? [17:43] bond_mode = 6, for example. right? [17:43] !upgrade | Guest98111 [17:43] Guest98111: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:43] Roasted_: depends on your requirements [17:43] is there a way to set up two X sessions as the same user? [17:43] Roasted_, btw. which MAC address will your thin clients use? [17:43] thank you [17:43] Guest98111: anything we can help you with? [17:43] candyban, uh. what? [17:43] candyban, they have their own MAC addresses. [17:43] Roasted_, to reply [17:43] Roasted_: good luck getting this working, I can't be bothered anymore, you've said you've read the guide and yet you clearly haven't and have just messed around with the config file [17:43] candyban, I would have to get each MAC of all clients and split them evenly in the configs. [17:44] evenin all [17:44] ikonia, thanks for your help, bro. I'll ask somebody else who may be able to help. [17:44] your time is appreciated [17:44] I'm more than capable of helping, I'm chosing not to as you can't be bothered to read [17:44] ikonia, again, thanks for your time [17:44] I appreciate it [17:44] welcome [17:44] Roasted_, you know when you setup a network connection (like thin clients tend to do) ... they need a mac address to reply to their requests (layer 2 in OSI model?) [17:44] Question - I'm trying to bond 2 network interfaces together, but now that I've accomplished this based on another user's suggestion, I have no internet at all now. I'm curious on how I can accomplish this task? [17:45] candyban, the thin clients boot to the static IP assigned to the server. [17:45] Roasted_, bonding both interfaces together will either give both NICs the same MAC address which gives the switch a problem as it will see the same mac address from 2 ports originating ... and thinking there is a loop) [17:46] Roasted_, MAC address is lower than IP ... it is on layer 2 ... IP is layer 3 [17:46] ruan, thanks a lot...it is working great. I really really appreciate it [17:46] Roasted_, type "arp -an" on your console [17:46] ezy: you're welcome :) enjoy [17:46] candyban, doesn't matter. The clients *I am positive* boot to the IP of the server. [17:46] Roasted_, do you have any network experience? [17:46] candyban, this is what was suggested to me by LTSP developers. They said bonding is the way to go for maximum speed. So that's what I'm doing. [17:46] candyban, several years of it. [17:47] candyban, I'd just like to bond this interface. Can you help me with it? [17:47] Roasted_, if you do not understand the basics of how networking works ... it will be difficult [17:47] candyban, so that's a no. Thanks for your help. [17:47] Question - I'm trying to bond 2 network interfaces together, but now that I've accomplished this based on another user's suggestion, I have no internet at all now. I'm curious on how I can accomplish this task? [17:47] Roasted_: please stop repeating, leave it 15 minutes between repeats please [17:47] ikonia, I'll consider it. [17:48] Roasted_: no, you'll do it [17:48] ^ [17:48] anyone know LVM? I need to extend the root partition. I've created another virtual disk, created a partition on it and added it to the volume group, now I need to add it to the logical volume and/or extend the FS onto the new virtual disk. [17:48] ikonia, you were very helpful today, and very friendly. I'd like to thank you again. [17:48] Roasted_: more than welcome [17:48] anyone good with c++ here? [17:48] vodkus: the guys in ##c++ [17:48] Roasted_, please read on how networking works before you start more advanced things like bonding (especially since you want "optimal performance" and not failover) [17:49] im looking for help with assignment [17:49] candyban, I understand how networking works. Bonding is not something I have done though. [17:49] Naikrovek: lvextend, then extend the file system [17:49] candyban, do you know how to bond these interfaces? [17:49] what would be the parent process id for /sbin/init? [17:49] is there a way to set up two X sessions as the same user? [17:49] ikonia: lvmextend segfaults. :/ [17:49] Naikrovek: ext4 can be resized on line [17:49] lvextend [17:49] Roasted_, since you do not understand the importance of the mac address ... I fail to see how you "understand networking" ... (unless I'm totally misquided) [17:50] is there minimum requirements for a sites-available/site file? jrib ? [17:50] can just the documentroot be in there? [17:50] Naikrovek: ooh really, I wonder if there is a problem with it being the root file system, I didn't think it was a problem, but maybe it is [17:50] apache2 [17:50] candyban, I understand the importance of the MAC address. But how this is set up, it does not utilize the MAC address. [17:50] Anonymice: in a sense yes. you could drop to a tty and start another x session on a seperate TTY [17:50] Naikrovek: I'm pretty sure I've done it on root [17:50] ikonia: i know i have [17:50] candyban, we have a windows DHCP server. I put entries in the windows DHCP server so once Windows assigns the clients an IP, it auto-reroutes to the IP of the LTSP linux server. [17:50] is there a way to find a mac address or a local address using an external ip address? [17:50] root shouldn't be the issue [17:50] Naikrovek: agreed [17:50] ikonia: shouldn't be a problem. I'll bet it's an issue with LVM itself. I've had that happen and had to upgrade LVM to fix it. [17:50] bastidrazor: go to tty, sudo X ? [17:50] din: agreed also [17:50] candyban, I promise you, there are no MAC address entries I put anywhere. Windows hands out the IPs, and the Linux server takes over instruction by providing the clients with the images for use over thin client links. [17:51] ruan: sure, have a look at "arp -a" [17:51] Roasted_, and the first thing your clients will do is ask for the MAC address of your LTSP server (arp request) ... [17:51] candyban, there is. no. mac address assignment. If there is, I don't know it because the guide I read said to use the IP of the server. I did. and it works. [17:51] Roasted_, I'm not saying you need to type any mac address [17:51] candyban, so be it. I didn't do anything specifically for the MAC address though. THATS what I'm telling you. [17:51] sipior: what does that do? [17:51] ruan: "man arp" === nir is now known as niros [17:51] sipior: ah. [17:51] I am attempting to restore a tar.gz system back up using a live CD - I have the drive I want to restore to formatted and mounted . . . but I can't figure how to create a / directory on the drive I want to install to [17:51] Anonymice: no, startx -- :1 then you should have be able to switch to tty7 (1st X) and tty8 (2nd X) [17:52] Roasted_, I'm saying when you do bonding ... both interfaces will (normally) have the same mac address (which will be handled correctly by your switch if it knows LACP) [17:52] sipior: how can i check my external ip address with a local one? [17:52] candyban, I understand that. [17:52] ikonia: this sefault is seriously cramping my style [17:52] LACP: Link Aggregation Control Protocol [17:52] Naikrovek: maybe worth logging abug [17:52] candyban, but if that would be a problem, why is it so heavily recommended? [17:52] If I'm looking at buying a new gfx card for my 'puter, should I prefer ATI or nVidia? Or doesn't it matter these days? [17:52] hey guys I have the Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03), and after updating my gfx driver my sound drivers seem to be lost. How can I install them back? [17:52] hello [17:52] ruan: you could use this script: http://pastebin.com/KeUkd8TZ [17:52] bastidrazor: but I can accomplish that by just using "switch user", the problem is logging in [17:52] ruan: connect to the router providing the information. [17:53] Roasted_, perhaps they use round-robin ? (but that is not "optimal performance" [17:53] (I mean with regards to Ubuntu accessible drivers) [17:53] Naikrovek: can you update lvm2? [17:53] has anyone an idea why poweroff menu can not kickoff for me? [17:53] ruan: most of them have a web interface which will display the configuration of both interfaces [17:53] din: checking now [17:53] candyban, I've never heard them speak of round robin. [17:53] my isp locked me out of my router :S [17:53] Anonymice: which ever user does the startx will be logged in. [17:53] for local user it works [17:53] for remote (ldap) - it doesn't [17:53] Roasted_, round robin is a mode of bonding [17:53] though im trying to verify that my external ip is equal to my computer [17:54] Roasted_, LACP is another one [17:54] bastidrazor: oh right, I'll try that, thanks [17:54] Anonymice: you also said 'another' X [17:54] and not my isp or another computer [17:54] sipior: hrm... actually it looks like mountall doesn't use the fsck order parameter in /etc/fstab correctly. If I'm reading this code right, it just checks if it is zero or not, and if not, forces a fsck.. it does nothing for order [17:54] ruan: it won't be, it will be a nat on your router [17:54] ruan: time for a new isp. there are website that will show you your external facing address. whatismyip.com and the like. [17:54] candyban, I see. Bottom line, how can I bond them? [17:54] Anonymice: good luck [17:54] ruan: didn't we talk about this when you where trying to get ssh forwarded [17:54] guys, is there a way on firefox to move minimize-maximize-close buttons down, at tab height, like chromium? [17:54] okay, im trying to make a c++ class in emacs that takes in ints and builds a set of 5 numbers. thers a constructor that looks like IntSet(a=-1,b=-1,c=-1,d=-1,e=-1) do i need to make a IntSet::IntSet(something) member function? [17:54] yeah i'm still trying to ssh using my external ip [17:54] bastidrazor: thanks :) [17:54] ruan: use a service such as "whatsmyip" [17:54] times out with my hostname ip and whatsmyip ip [17:54] Roasted_, first you need to know HOW you want to bond them ... obviously not LACP ... and round robin apparently also not (since you never heard of it) [17:54] http://xdccing.com/ [17:54] vodkus: We already explained that this is not the place to ask C++ questions. Please use ##C++ you may need to register to join there. [17:55] !register> vodkus [17:55] but both ips exist [17:55] vodkus, please see my private message [17:55] candyban, well, I read through the different modes. mode 6 was the most recommended for what I'm trying to do. [17:55] bruco: not at this time [17:55] this isnt the ubuntu support channel? [17:55] waseem: it's not the c++ channel [17:55] kbrosnan, :( [17:56] yep [17:56] psusi: i guess half-right is better than nothing.  [17:56] sipior: rather A fsck is done, not a -f force fsck.. if fstab has the order vaulue set to 0, then it isn't even given the default prune fsck if it isn't the root [17:56] ruan: im confused sir, is this the ubuntu support channel or general chat? [17:56] din: at 2.02.54-1ubuntu4.1 [17:56] waseem: ubuntu support channel [17:56] waseem: it's the ubuntu support channel [17:56] Roasted_, did you also read Prerequisites: A switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. ???? [17:56] Naikrovek: does lvextend work now? [17:56] ok thank you :) [17:56] Does top give CPU percentage as a percentage of a single core? A program is using 155% and I have two cores; so is it using 155% based on a single core? [17:56] din: assume that's latest since apt-get update; apt-get upgrade isn't updating it [17:56] waseem: ubuntu-offtopic is for gen. chat [17:56] din: no. [17:56] ah [17:57] Polah: yes [17:57] candyban, yeah. all of our switches are pretty brand new gear. they should support them. [17:57] this is teh bummar [17:57] yeah I have a problem not sure if its a "problem" as such, maybe someone can direct me. [17:57] hey guys I have the Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03), and after updating my gfx driver my sound drivers seem to be lost. How can I install them back? [17:57] psusi: yeah, ubuntu defaults to "0" for all non-root filesystems, so maybe this was their way of making it fsck / only :-) [17:57] Naikrovek: i remember i had to build lvm to get it working again. [17:57] Naikrovek: get a bug logged, it's worth while with something that serious [17:57] Naikrovek: ooh, wait, is this on a vmware box by any chance [17:57] ikonia: indeed it is [17:57] psusi: Thought so, thank you. [17:57] Roasted_, really ... get a clue ... if you think dlink or 3ware support these options ... [17:58] Naikrovek: reboot, then try it, I'll explain later [17:58] candyban, dell powerconnect 6248 [17:58] Naikrovek: I remembered a bug [17:58] Hello everybody, I bought an LG notebook R590-6000 (300Mbps Wireless 802.11bgn RTL8191SE) and installed Ubuntu 4.11. My router is a TP-Link (lite N). My problem is that the internet connection in Ubuntu is very very very bad. Web pages slow to appear. In Windows 7 and the connection is fast but not in Ubuntu. The connection also drops frequently. How can I fix this? Thank you very much. [17:58] did that, but it was a while back. will reboot again and see what happens [17:58] thanks. stay tuned [17:58] Henry_BR: have you tried wicd? [17:58] !info wicd [17:58] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-5 (maverick), package size 40 kB, installed size 88 kB [17:59] Naikrovek: boot it into single user mode and do it then [17:59] Naikrovek: there are/where two bugs in vmware that caused a problem with lvm I wonder if this is one [17:59] Roasted_, so have you configured your switch ports for LACP ? [18:00] ikonia: okay [18:00] gotta remember how to do single user mode now heh [18:00] Naikrovek: not saying it will work, but interesting to know if anything changes [18:00] Naikrovek: linux single on the grub menu [18:00] Naikrovek: interupt the boot and add "single" to the boot options [18:00] my isp can configure my router though. what option(s) should i ask them to configure, regarding NAT? [18:00] Roasted_, I thought you said it was a virtual machine? (dedicated nics?) [18:00] candyban, Does LACP apply to all bond modes? [18:00] candyban, no. NO virtual machine. [18:00] ikonia: alright, stand by [18:00] candyban, this is ONE physical server. [18:01] http://xdccing.com/ [18:01] tittone: please don't post that here === woody_ is now known as azzpenn [18:01] jestem [18:01] !offtopic > tittone [18:01] tittone, please see my private message [18:02] http://xdccing.com/ [18:02] ikonia: apparently i'm not using grub :/ no grub menu came up [18:02] Naikrovek: ah, it's just set to no menu [18:02] Naikrovek: you are using grub though (I'd bet big money on it) [18:02] Naikrovek: is this ubuntu 10.x ? [18:02] yes [18:02] Roasted_, LACP is the "old" name for 802.3ad ... but it should work similarly [18:02] Naikrovek: hit escape (I think ) when it's booting [18:02] right on [18:02] candyban, ahh. [18:02] ikonia: its left shift [18:02] Naikrovek: well, before it's booting [18:02] Pici: thank you [18:03] Naikrovek: there you go, as pici said, left shift [18:03] LACP = invented by cisco ... (IIRC) ... and then they made a standard out of it (with some modifications?) called 802.3ad [18:03] okay will try left shift now. [18:04] Roasted_, you need to setup your switch and bond device simultaneously [18:04] Roasted_, one without the other will not work [18:04] candyban, gotcha. [18:04] a certain somebody didn't mention that earlier. [18:04] Roasted_: because you didn't tell me what mode you where using [18:04] Roasted_: don't get smart [18:04] How can I view a partition's label (/dev/sd*) through CLI? [18:04] Roasted_, which is why it will not work :p === kn100 is now known as Guest7189 [18:04] ikonia, how do you know I was referring to you? [18:05] You don't. So don't get smart. [18:05] ;) [18:05] Roasted_: I asked you multiple times to read for the mode options and you kept saying you had [18:05] meLon: type mount [18:05] candyban: iirc, LACP is the link management protocol that 802.3ad uses to negotiate the links with the other device [18:05] candyban, I gotcha. [18:05] candyban, let me get into this gizmo quick === Guest7189 is now known as kn100 [18:05] hey I accidentally made the entire screen transparent using compizconfigsettingsmanager [18:05] Is there a way to allow terminal to use Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V to copy/paste as opposed to right click > copy/paste or Edit > '' [18:05] psusi, could be ... it's been too long to remember the details :) ... [18:05] Polah, press shift when pasting and copying from the terminal [18:05] Polah: ctrl + shift c [18:06] the opacity, sat.. etc plutonium specifically. [18:06] bastidrazor, I am trying to configure non-mounted partitions. Determine their label to create a mountpoint with that label as the dir (/mnt/LABEL-OF-PART) [18:06] Polah: use ctrl+shift c/v... ctrl-c means kill the foreground task in a terminal [18:06] plugin * [18:06] Roasted_, you need to bond 10gig nics? [18:06] hello every1. I've a 21.7Mb pdf file that's barely 5 pages long. What software can I use to make shrink its size? TIA!!! [18:06] I can't see anything [18:06] meLon: sudo fdisk -l (thats a lowercase L ) [18:07] candyban: 10GB nic's !!!! [18:07] candyban, No, these are just 1GB NICs [18:07] candyban, two of them [18:07] ty bastidrazor [18:07] kn100, ruan Psusi: I forgot for a moment that ctrl+c kills the task. Thanks for telling me to use shift. [18:07] nimbiotics: don't use pdf... it's teh suq ;) [18:08] Roasted_, wouldn't it be easier to buy 1 10GB nic and hook it directly to the switch? [18:08] What can I use instead? I need to email it to a windows user [18:08] Roasted_, just another idea :p [18:08] Hello guys [18:08] psusi: What can I use instead? I need to email it to a windows user [18:08] ikonia: singleuser mode; still segfaulting [18:08] how can I change compiz settings without being able to see anything. [18:08] this is so my luck, btw [18:08] Naikrovek: rats, dissapointing [18:08] you could use doc [18:08] indeed [18:08] bastidrazor, That command gives me much information about each of the harddrives. It does not give me labels, though. [18:08] accident: disable compiz [18:08] nimbiotics: you'll likely want to make sure you're using smaller images. [18:08] Naikrovek: how big is the disk you're adding ? [18:08] nimbiotics: how did you make the pdf? [18:08] My sound device stopped work. I'm on natty, living in the edge. can you help me to figure out why, maybe fix it or at least help the ubuntu dev team to fix this for future releases? [18:08] 20G adding a 40G disk [18:09] quick question. I have a dual boot pc. windows and ubuntu 10.10. I have my hard drive allocated so that each os has a 25 gig paqrtition, and a 5 gig swap and the remainder is a ntfs partition shared for multi media. I am trying to expand my windows partition by an additional 25 gigs and have already took the 25 gigs from the front end of the shared storage making it unallocted space. i am now trying to move the linux os partition and the li [18:09] nux swap partitions over so the unallocated is next to my windows partition and I can expand it but I cant seem to expand the linux swap any farther then 5 gigs. I am using gparted on live cd. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? [18:09] how do I disable composed. I just booted to recovery mode. [18:09] Naikrovek: well within safe sizes then [18:09] sipior: I scanned the docs into jpg and printed them as pdf [18:09] !pastebin | jt13 [18:09] jt13: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:09] nimbiotics: well, there's your problem. [18:09] k Ive got a shell. [18:09] sipior: ?? [18:09] ikonia: yeah. what bothers me is that i did a similar operation on RHEL 5 with two partitions over a terabyte each no issues [18:09] sipior: is there anything I can do to make them smaller? [18:09] nimbiotics: you've made a pdf which is a rasterised image. maybe just send them the jpegs? [18:10] Naikrovek: out of interest, check the lvm and device mapper versions, I've just done it on rhel 5 and 6 with no issues [18:10] meLon: the combination of mount and fdisk -l will allow you to determine which 'non-mounted' partitions label is.l [18:10] ikonia: package version is 2.02.54-1ubuntu4.1 [18:10] Polah, no problem :) [18:10] nimbiotics: a plain text file? a word or openoffice document? === pvo_ is now known as pvo [18:10] Hi. I've got a multi-page tiff and I have two problems with it: Opening it with "Image Viewer" only shows the first page, and opening it with "Document Viewer" (which I believe is just rebranded evince) shows all the pages but prints blank pages, even when I use print to file or save it as a PDF [18:11] psusi: cant be; the docs I scanned do have grapics [18:11] ikonia: I'm tending to agree with you... unless there is an easy way recover them... which I doubt there is [18:11] quick question. I have a dual boot pc. windows and ubuntu 10.10. I have my hard drive allocated so that each os has a 25 gig paqrtition, and a 5 gig swap and the remainder is a ntfs partition shared for multi media. I am trying to expand my windows partition by an additional 25 gigs and have already took the 25 gigs from the front end of the shared storage making it unallocted space. i am now trying to move the linux os partition and the li [18:11] nux swap partitions over so the unallocated is next to my windows partition and I can expand it but I cant seem to expand the linux swap any farther then 5 gigs. I am using gparted on live cd. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? [18:11] nimbiotics: how big are the jpegs? [18:11] Naikrovek: do an "lvm version" [18:11] candyban, you would think, but I work in a school district. Do you have any idea what kind of insane budget cuts there are now? Buying a 10GB Nic is kind of... impossible... at the moment. [18:12] gbear14275: nope [18:12] ikonia: 2.02.54(1) (2009-10-26) [18:12] sipior: gota check [18:12] interesting later than RHEL 5's [18:13] Roasted_, but buying a switch a 2500$ switch is totally in budget? [18:13] guess not. [18:13] candyban, the switch was bought a few weeks ago. the new spending freeze got put in place last week. [18:13] sipior: all jpges are 3.4Mb [18:13] candyban, perfect timing if you ask me, as the networking gear is pretty much all new :P [18:13] how do I disable compiz and make sure metacity is the window messenger from the terminal. [18:13] Hello, How do I replace grub entry ? [18:14] please [18:14] nimbiotics: you can use ImageMagick to shrink that down a bit. just send the images directly. [18:14] accident: metacity --replace [18:14] Roasted_, perhaps the budget cuts came in place because of all the expensive network gear :p [18:14] sipior: THX a lot, I think I'll just send them the jpegs and leave it to them. THX agaion! [18:15] thanks a ton guys. [18:15] is it ok to move kernels in grub.cfg ? [18:15] in grub2 version [18:15] move kernels ? [18:15] candyban, not here. We're on the bottom of the totem pole in comparison to other districts. [18:15] I just want different kernel version on the top of the list [18:15] ikonia, [18:15] ^^ [18:15] candyban, other districts in the area have a budget of at least 6x or 7x what our's is. We were in diar need of upgrades. [18:16] Roasted_: candyban: it would perhaps be best to continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic. [18:16] h, ubuntu-server channel is pretty dead.. anybody here NAS server? [18:16] sipior, we're on topic. bonding interfaces, etc. thanks. [18:17] centHOGG, can you be more specific? [18:17] Roasted_: your staying a bit into budgets and the like, that's why he suggested offtopic [18:17] candyban, I'm not seeing LACP in the switch config though... [18:17] ikonia, we were discussing network gear, which directly links to my question at hand. [18:17] Roasted_: funny, the discussion of school budgets must have been a pedagogical exercise. [18:17] candyban: thx... is there anything like freenas (specifically the interface) [18:17] Roasted_: yes, but it was deviating to budgets and the like, that's why he suggested it [18:17] it sounds like everyone is off topic all of the sudden [18:17] Roasted_, 802.3ad ? ... ps. Perhaps you should call your dell support (this is ubuntu/linux ... not vendor specific switch fabrics) [18:17] BACK ON TOPIC... candyban what about trunking? [18:18] candyban, what difference does it make with the OS? [18:18] Roasted_, that will not improve performance ... only availability [18:19] I need some help about conky-rhythmbox [18:19] I want to display the album art on desktop [18:19] I've tried desktop-art plugin on rhythmbox [18:19] lucid_j: there is a #conky channel that is fairly active [18:19] I've also tried the --datatype=CA option on conky-rhythmbox [18:20] it is actually dead [18:20] I'm in there for about half an hour [18:20] but none of them displays the cover.. [18:21] That's because the cover is not saved as an image file on album's folder [18:21] it is embedded in the id3 tag [18:21] Roasted_, wait ... just did some reading of my own ... apparently with etherchannel you can get some additional performance ... but then I cannot help you ... I only "know" lacp (cisco) and active/backup mode [18:21] Is there any way to display the embedded in ID3 tag cover art on the desktop? [18:21] Any advice could be very helpful! [18:22] hey how do I gnome wm-properties so it uses.metacity instead of compiz at boot [18:22] candyban, I'm looking into some examples provided in the actual ifenslave documentation. [18:22] candyban, I'm talking to a user now on PM who set up bonding on Ubuntu. He said he tried every guide under the sun, but nothing worked until he copied their EXACT config and applied his own numbers in. [18:22] hi, i'm getting an error using Script (mod_actions.so), i need to execute a perl script when tried to access a Location or Directory ... like a filter, any ideas how to resolve ... thanks [18:22] Roasted_: which user is that, it would be interesting to hear his experiences [18:22] how do I change the window manager properties so it boots into metacity [18:23] ikonia, It's okay. You did your part helping me earlier. [18:23] Roasted_: I'm curious to which other user has it [18:23] ikonia, well, let me see if I can get it working first, and we'll go from there. [18:23] my bonding works fine, so I'm interested in his experiences and the problems he had [18:23] image at /use/share/gnome/wm-properties [18:23] Roasted_: what user is it ? [18:23] im at* [18:24] hello, I have a sony pcj 5j2l vaio computer and I want to boot a live cd but it tells me that there is no operating system. I already tried a live cd and a live usb. Any suggestions? [18:24] ikonia, he's not from this room. [18:24] Roasted_, unless you know what you are doing (and since you need a howto you do not) ... it is always a good idea to do all commands verbatim and change only where appropriately [18:24] what's a good utility to tag multiple mp3s at once? [18:24] Roasted_: ok, but what username is he [18:24] candyban, well, this user said he just copied their example config, used his own numbers, and suddenly bonding was working, so I'll roll with that and see. [18:24] Roasted_: which user ? [18:24] <_antant_> Right, this is getting ridiculous. I'm now being told by XBMC that it needs OpenGL and to install an appropriate graphics driver. I've installed the nvidia-current, that's what's caused ALL my problems!!! Somebody must be able to help me out [18:24] Is there any way to display the embedded in ID3 tag cover art on the desktop using rhythmbox or conky-rhythmbox? [18:25] Roasted_, hope it works for you :) ... [18:25] candyban, we'll see. worth a shot. worst that can happen is it... not work. which.. it's not now anyway. :P [18:25] candyban, appreciate your time bro. [18:26] Roasted_, worst thing that can happen is that you get demotivated .... but maybe that's just my experience talking :p [18:26] or you end up with something that does not work as advertised [18:26] candyban, well, I can always run it off a single nic too. I did earlier and it was fine. But I hate to use a 300 horsepower engine when I have a 600hp engine in the garage. [18:27] setting up active/backup interface is very easy [18:27] FYI - I have a 300GB pata drive connected to a promise ultra ata pci card,(card is new, drive came from my last pc) and I was getting all sorts of read and write errors. SMART says that the drive is fine, and fsck would fix all of the errors, but it kept happening. After a long search, the fix was to enable "PCI delay transactions" in BIOS. Apparently it's a good thing to have on regardless, but in my case it's essential. [18:27] Roasted_: that makes no sense if you are only using %10 of one card, putting it onto two is a waste of time [18:27] Roasted_: you should only bond if you have a reason to [18:27] Roasted_, if you do not need it ... it is better to have the 300 engine as a hot spare [18:28] whre do i disable automount icon in gconf-editor [18:28] ikonia, I really just want to have both "just because." They're both here, why not use both if it'll only help? After all, that single NIC would be serving 30+ clients at a single time, and that number may rise heavily if Ubuntu works nicely in our environment. [18:28] ikonia, if he has the hardware, it would indeed be silly not to use it ... but I would make it useful (like automatic failover) [18:29] kubanc, that should be in apps>nautilus [18:29] Roasted_: it won't help [18:29] ikonia, theres a team of developers for LTSP that disagree with you. [18:29] ikonia, but I appreciate your concern. [18:29] Roasted_: ok, so then you "need" it, [18:29] Seven_Six_Two, thanks, i forgot that it's the nautilus that puts icon on desktop and not gnome desktop... [18:29] I don't need it. But it would help. [18:29] Is exactly what they said. [18:29] Roasted_: if you have a 1GB nic, and you've using %70 of it, putting %35 and %35 won't help, [18:29] how do i get to talk in #c++ channel? [18:29] kubanc, np [18:30] Roasted_: it won't help, unless you card is flooded, in which case you need it [18:30] ikonia, I understand. But even still, if it's THERE and empty, why not use it just in case? [18:30] last time I was here someone mentioned a GUI for iptables [18:30] what's the command that displays the running processes? [18:30] what is a simple GUI for iptables? [18:30] Roasted_: because they create an overhead on the server [18:30] Roasted_: and as you've discovered problems in switching [18:30] top lucid_j [18:30] thnks [18:30] Roasted_, can your CPU/IO handle 2x 1Gbit [18:30] candyban, it came with the server. I don't see why it wouldn't. [18:31] Roasted_: that doesn't mean it can handle iot [18:31] Roasted_: I missed it if you said it; what does the server do? [18:31] it [18:31] lucid_j: also try 'ps axuww' [18:31] Roasted_, like I said ... use the "normal" active/backup mode [18:31] Naikrovek, LTSP thin clients. Or in my case, fat clients. [18:31] candyban, which # is that? [18:31] Roasted_: it's in the guide I gave you [18:31] how do I remove compiz from startup programs [18:31] Roasted_, that means if someone unplugs the network cable ... orthe port dies ... the other NIC will automatically take over [18:31] Roasted_: it's also default [18:31] !register > vodkus [18:31] vodkus, please see my private message [18:31] candyban, gotcha. === marco is now known as Guest19075 [18:32] !register [18:32] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [18:33] Roasted, modprobe bond ... ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 ... and then edit /etc/networking/interfaces (make sure to use pre-up ifconfig eth0 up) [18:34] Pici I can't remember, but it wasn't firestarter I just tried that [18:34] I'm looking for assistance permanently mounting a share [18:34] Roasted_, that is the normal/easy setup ... but it does not bring higher performance ... "only" higher availability [18:35] Roasted_, if the link goes down on the primary interface ... the slave interface will become primary ... (same mac/ip address etc) [18:36] How to move kernel entry on top in grub 2 please? [18:36] what's the alpha channel again for natty talk? [18:36] yep Gufw it was, thx [18:36] decoder: #ubuntu+1 [18:36] Pici: thx [18:36] Tony___, a share from where? [18:37] hello everyone [18:37] azm, you can change the "default" in /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:37] azm: i use startup manager to do that [18:37] I have a windows share on the server and I want to mount it on my ubuntu box === mehdi is now known as Dattebayo [18:38] candyban, I dont have menu.lst === test_ is now known as trijntje_natty [18:38] or you can manually press shift to show grub everytime you start your machine azm [18:38] does ubuntu really need antivirus software installed? [18:38] candyban: grub2, not grub on ubuntu any more sadly [18:38] Tony___, I could have helped if it was NFS, but you'll probably get better help over in #samba [18:38] Phong_: nope [18:38] Tony___, should be pretty straight forward.. just goto Places-> connect to server [18:38] !antivirus | Phong_ [18:38] Phong_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:38] xangua, I have grub table but Id like just press enter instead arrow down to find the one I use now [18:38] ikonia, if it doesn't , why are there exist AV for linux? [18:38] I set some keybindings somewhere quite some time ago, and I can't remember where they are to unset them.. what are some possible places to set global keybindings? I'm using GNOME. [18:39] I can do that but I want it to become a permanent share [18:39] Phong_: for services such as file servers or mail servers that have windows clients [18:39] d1gital, it may be set in gconf [18:39] i see. [18:39] ikonia, what linux doesn't need one? [18:39] why* [18:39] i'm new here and i need help [18:39] xangua, what do you mean by startup manager? [18:39] d1gital, I can't remember where bu you can define custom hotkeys to execute command in there [18:39] ikonia, virus can't infected linux? [18:39] azm, check /etc/default/grub [18:39] Tony___, I would look at someting like smbfs [18:39] dotblank, gconf: command not found [18:40] azm: that's how is called, don't remember the package name [18:40] d1gital, gconf-editer [18:40] !info startup-manager [18:40] Package startup-manager does not exist in maverick [18:40] mmm :S [18:40] have we already switched ubottu on maverick?

Version 1.9.13-5 (maverick), package size 114 kB, installed size 1360 kB [18:40] candyban, I already checked that [18:41] falco_, tip1 ... just state your problem ... we are not mindreaders ... so spill your guts :) [18:41] I read the grub2 tut on forums [18:41] GRUB_DEFAULT=0 [18:41] is there a way to uninstall app once install with wine? [18:41] !fx4 | Dattebayo [18:41] Dattebayo: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [18:41] candyban, that is not what I need [18:41] Phong_: yes, look at the wine menu [18:41] I've installed that and when I try to mount it always comes back with "mount error: can not change directory into mount target [18:41] Phong_: uninstall wine applications [18:41] xangua, thanks will check [18:41] thanks [18:41] wine software [18:41] i got it [18:42] dotblank: found it. thanks [18:42] azm, then what do you need? [18:42] how about if i want to upgrade wine version, how can i do that? plus, how can i check the wine version i hav e now. [18:42] candyban, just move older kernel on the top of grub table [18:42] Phong_: both in synaptic [18:42] i installed the package kde-full (just kde-full) and i thought that would be all i needed for kde. it just puts me back at the login screen, and i can't connect to the internet in recovery console (to install additional required packages.) how can i restore my gnome installation offline? === OerHeks is now known as Oer [18:42] Phong_: or update manager for the first. [18:42] Phong_, wine --version [18:43] this is what i have wine-1.2.2 [18:43] i'm sure there is the latest out there [18:43] Phong_, but you should be able to uninstall wine programs by using the shourtcut in the wine menu in applications [18:43] Tony___, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [18:43] azm, you can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually (don't know if it will be overwritten with your next kernel upgrade) [18:44] thanks I'll take a look at that [18:44] is there a better scope of what will be on the ubuntu cert test than the course outline? [18:44] candyban, it indeed will be overwritten [18:44] when will be firefox4 for ubuntu in official repo?

I'd like to clone my panel configuration easily.

[18:47] Seven_Six_Two, thanks [18:47] janisozaur, it also uses a flat file config system so you could to a folde rin home something like .gconf and copy pasta files [18:47] dotblank, that's the way I'd like it to have, thanks [18:48] xangua, i did add the ppa [18:48] xangua, now what? [18:48] janisozaur, /apps/panels [18:48] Phong_: update¿ [18:48] falco_, kubuntu ? or ubuntu ?

[18:50] can WINE run any windows app? [18:50] drc, Hi [18:51] Phong_, no. many, yes. All, no. [18:51] Phong_: check appdb, it can run most.

[18:52] Phong_, that database is useful, but not always 100% accurate. It depends on users updating it with their experiences. [18:52] falco_, so unfortunately I won't be able to helpyou with that [18:52] drc, One learns every day [18:52] dang [18:52] and sometimes you have to do special things to run an app under wine [18:52] candyban, thanks for trying tho [18:52] drc, How do I register a nick ?

[18:53] Guest34746: er...#freenode [18:53] is Redhat any differ from ubuntu? [18:53] Phong_: much different [18:54] drc, so type #freenode in the chat ? [18:54] Phong_, there are quite some differences yes ... but depending on what you are looking for they might be small or huge [18:54] #freenode [18:54] phong is gone :S [18:54] Guest34746: type /j #freenode [18:54] candyban, as do I. I seldom need it, but I've had poor experiences with a gold rated program, and decent with other lower rated ones. it depends on wine version, library versions etc. [18:55] Seven_Six_Two, we should get together with a beer and sob about our lack of wine knowledge ;) [18:56] ! [18:56] lol. talking about windows makes me hostile, so the beer would be required. ;) [18:57] Seven_Six_Two, my windows in X are perfectly fine ... not sure why that would make you hostile ... perhaps you're doing something wrong ... [18:57] actually X windows still make me hostile [18:57] I might just be lost in wayland tho [18:57] candyban, and I've noticed that you're on the other side of the planet...getting together for a beer would involve a $1000 flight [18:57] dotblank, only if you have to write code directly for X I guess ;) [18:58] candyban, or try to do basic things with dualhead settups and proprietary drivers [18:58] Seven_Six_Two, I don't mind if you want to spend so much on a good beer (btw ... we have 600+ beers in Belgium) [18:58] does anyone know what ubuntu package contains the "cpuspeed" cli command? [18:59] Seven_Six_Two, btw ... $1000 ... what is that nowadays with the exchange rate ... 7 euros? :p [18:59] Seven_Six_Two, jk [18:59] jblz: use "apt-cache search cpuspeed" [18:59] and candyban ... and doesnt every beer have its own glass? :) [18:59] dotblank, I have nvidia driver and a multi-head twinview setup. It was very easy to set up...this time... === derp is now known as derp|gym [18:59] candyban, what would that be in bitcoins? [18:59] bastidrazor, there, I finally got around to trying it [18:59] soop, yes [18:59] (yes, I am Anonymice ) [18:59] jblz: you mean to set the cpufreq governors and stuff? if so cpufrequtils package gives you cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info [18:59] Seven_Six_Two, But I had a 1080 monitor rotated 90 degrees and a normal monitor [18:59] candyban makes for big cupboards :P [18:59] SwedeMike, thank you, i don't have it- that's why i'm asking :) [19:00] 1080p [19:00] bastidrazor, it only shows a black screen (though that is a difference, there was a flashing cursor before) on tty8 [19:00] dotblank, oh, I read about that...and the lack of compiz if you need xinerama. [19:00] jblz: you don't have what? [19:00] bastidrazor, thank you. there is a command "cpuspeed" that just outputs the speed of the proc in Mhz [19:00] bastidrazor, but I started it from tty6. Does that make a difference? [19:00] SwedeMike, the "cpuspeed" command [19:00] dotblank, with matrox and nvidia it was quite easy ... (missed your comment above) [19:00] dotblank, I was upset when I couldn't find xserver-xgl. that's when I discovered that I didn't need xinerama [19:01] SwedeMike, and to be perfectly honest.. i don't have apt. I'm using Lucid Puppy linux. [19:01] jblz: I understood that. apt-cache search searches all installable packets, if it's not shown, then it's not in any of the installable packets in the repositories you've enabled. [19:01] sipior: holy crap man. mountall is so smart. It ignores the fstab order number, because it actually figures out what filesystems are on the same physical disk, and goes ahead and starts all of the fscks, but ionices all but one so they don't really compete with each other, then when the high priority one finishes, it ups the priority of one of the others [19:01] isnt xserver-sgl depreciated [19:01] xgl* [19:01] falco_ have you got eggdbus installed as i think its needed by ConsoleKit ? [19:01] jblz: you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for and within packages if you don't have an Ubutnu system at hand. [19:01] dotblank, yes, but I kept reading that it was required to enable compiz while using xinerama. [19:01] jblz: cpufreq-info does as well if you give the correct syntax [19:02] An_Ony_Moose: it makes no difference. [19:02] psusi: huh, that's definitely going the extra mile. [19:02] Seven_Six_Two, Its an ugly hack tho [19:02] An_Ony_Moose: and it does what you want? [19:02] bastidrazor, oh wait, it worked now. except GNOME has some problem with a keyring [19:03] dotblank, no doubt. All I wanted was a "big-desktop" with 2x22"ws monitors, but not separate x-screens. [19:03] bastidrazor, and the window decorator doesn't seem to want to work. GNOME seems not to like multiple sessions [19:03] okay, thank you very much bastidrazor Pici, SwedeMike ! [19:03] but thanks for the help === Guest34746 is now known as nmaxchat [19:03] ok how can i remove wine completely [19:04] when i do this 'rm -r ~/.wine [19:04] ' [19:04] Does anyone know of a script like autoap for DD-WRT that automatically and continuously connects to the strongest unprotected wifi network? for a car computer or similar mobile setup?

Thanks though, it's working mostly :) [19:04] An_Ony_Moose: best of luck, you're welcome [19:05] i still see wine in the applications [19:05] Phong_, You'll have to use the -f flag with rm to remove everything, but be very careful, as that means "force", and can trash everything if you don't use it properly [19:05] after doint the remove [19:05] jblz: you're welcome [19:05] Maybe someone here can help me. I am running 10.10 64bit server on my xen vps, I keep getting the following error message in my auth.log. Mar 24 14:04:54 pyrofallout getty[8900]: /dev/hvc0: No such file or directory [19:05] so i do 'rm -rf ~/.wine ? [19:05] right?

I always put the whole path when I use the -f flag because I'm paranoid, but that should do it.\ [19:06] how can I change wireless from eth1 to wlan0? [19:06] Hello guys. I reinstall my windows 7. How can i restore ubuntu boot? When i start to computer it automatically pass through the windows 7 ? I know i took so much trouble :s [19:07] !grub2 | Salih87 [19:07] Salih87: 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 [19:07] Seven_Six_Two, but why i still see wine under application menu? [19:07] should i restart the pc? [19:07] Phong_: Be advised, WINE does not play well with GNOME menus === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [19:07] Phong_, did you do sudo apt-get remove wine [19:07] yes [19:07] i did [19:07] botcity: yeah [19:08] Seven_Six_Two, shouldn't he have purged it? [19:08] Seven_Six_Two, (didn't follow the conversation) [19:08] i still see wine under Application menu [19:08] lol [19:08] Phong_, then you can just manually delete it from the menu. right click on "applications" to get the menu editor. candyban you're right, I believe... [19:08] Phong_, dpkg -P wine [19:09] what is the easiest way to check if my iptables is doing what it suppose to do? [19:09] purge doesn't really do anything useful [19:09] <`god> hy [19:09] for user-level packages [19:09] Phong_, sudo (off course) [19:09] but sure, keep telling people to purge as though it will affect things like gui settings [19:09] Phong_: Do NOT delete the WINE menu...UNCHECK it...if you delete it and want to USE WINE in the future, the WINE menu will NOT be there [19:10] quiescens, isn't purge for uninstalling everything including configs? like "remove completely" in synaptic? [19:10] remove completely options only ever affect System settings [19:10] <`god> guys i need some opinion with something [19:10] it would be inappropriate to delte user data because an admin decided to remove a package [19:10] lol i undelete it [19:10] delete* [19:10] argh, can someone list all of the programs that run in a standard GNOME session for me please? xP [19:10] nevermind darm it [19:10] drc, is wine in the menu(unchecked) before it's installed? [19:11] hi. i did install apache2 and write a upload file script. unfortunately apache ignores all uploaded files. to the guys in #apache said i have to install mod_dav/mod_mime ... i just activate these via a2enmod but it doesnt work ... hope someone can help to teach me apache to receive files?! === chris_ is now known as Guest53414 [19:11] hi my sound (youtube) is working, but my "sound preferences" cannot see my hardware or any output device. Also adjusting/muting sound has no affect on the sound output. This all worked fine before I upgraded my nvidia gfx drivers. [19:11] Seven_Six_Two: Not that I know. I DO know that playing with WINE and GNOME menus is a real PIA [19:11] Is there a way I can properly create /dev/hvc0 on my ubuntu installation (xen vps)? I am getting /dev/hvc0 not found errors in my logs [19:11] Trashi, did you run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload [19:11] so, suppose you install mysql, purging it would remove its config settings. but if you installed openoffice, purging it would not remove a user's settings, if you reinstalled it, all the users would still have their settings in tact [19:12] Seven_Six_Two: yes > apache2 restart [19:12] will the firefox package get updated to firefox 4 any time soon? [19:12] Seven_Six_Two: Like I said to Phong_ : WINE does not play well with GNOME menus [19:12] Does anyone know of a script like autoap for DD-WRT that automatically and continuously connects to the strongest unprotected wifi network? for a car computer or similar mobile setup? [19:12] I heard that firefox will be loaded into 11.04 by default and when 3,6 reached eol, it will be in repo's. [19:13] my screen blocks after 2 or 3 minutos of inactivity, but on energy settings it is to 30 minutos, whats wrong? [19:13] anyone know of a good keylogger for linux? [19:13] hello LOL [19:13] Welshy-Rob :) [19:13] ubottu: thank you :) [19:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:13] drc, I've never tried to completely remove it like that, but If it's not in the menu before it's installed, and installing adds it, I wouldn't assume that it wouldn't add it again...but I've no experience in doing that, [19:13] drc, Thanks [19:14] NCS_One, try system>preferences>Power Management [19:14] see what the settings are [19:14] SO About this password business [19:14] may I "apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-2.6.35-27 linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic" ? [19:14] can I use --purge to remove old kernels? [19:14] sure you would, if you have a newer version of course. [19:14] I have a password at log on and what else ? [19:15] nubuntu, s/newer/working/ :p [19:15] nubuntu: it's just those 3 files ? [19:15] but use apt-get purge [19:15] Seven_Six_Two: I have :( AFAIK the ONLY way to get WINE back into the menu once you've DELETED the menu items is to go into applications.menu and physically delete the two "deleted" lines in the wine-wine section [19:15] w/0 -- [19:15] An_Ony_Moose: thats wheres its set to 30 minuts [19:15] nubuntu: what is the differente between remove --purge or just purge [19:15] drc, wow. that's no fun. ;) [19:15] I would recommend that you remove it with synaptic, easier. [19:15] thats not what I asked lol [19:16] dotblank, So What are the different passwords ? [19:16] remove - removes the application's files while purge also removes the configuration files. [19:16] nubuntu: is purge the same as remove --purge? [19:16] Seven_Six_Two: Ask nmaxchat, we spent a bunch of time last night doing just that. Like I said AFSIK (I may be wrong) [19:16] NCS_One, well, you can change that setting ;) [19:16] kerneloops_: its the same, before apt was only using remove --purge, now its purge so that you dont have to write that much [19:16] k iceroot :) [19:16] Seven_Six_Two, Whats the question ? [19:17] is there a way to hide certain users from the login list?

I am logged into my wife's netbook via Ubuntu 10.10 installed on an SD Card. I'm doing this because the root partition on her main HD is full, and I need to do some partitioning magic on it. I was using gparted on one of the (insignificant) partitions, when the netbook died (idiot me forgot to plug in). Now I can get back into the SD Card, but gparted will not open. Any suggestions on what I could do? [20:10] The "Disk Utility" will open, and I can see the remaining partitions. I deleted the insignificant one with that [20:11] I can also mount the remaining partitions and see the files, so I don't think anything's wrong with those [20:11] running gparted from the command line doesn't help much (no real good error messages) [20:11] Drknzz: sry, dunno [20:11] hello [20:11] anyone there ?

[21:16] lordmofisto: just ask [21:16] Anyone running on a new 2011 macbook pro with the AMD video card and the proprietary AMD Radeon driver? [21:17] SinusX:you can get it from nvidia site, the provide driver for nvidia cards, [21:17] SinusX, Nvidia.com? [21:17] i installed dban to a usb thumbdrive. i get it to boot up and i select to wipe my hard drive. but every time I do it gives me a error /dev/sdb i tried looking it up but the help wasn't helpful, tried their suggestions and still same result [21:17] but i advise you to not using that, because in your next kernel update your X will be broken [21:17] ok i'll try it :) thanks [21:17] !nvidia | SinusX [21:17] SinusX: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [21:18] you have remove it manually and thats a kind of pain [21:18] i ve asked it to learn sudo get-driver command [21:18] thanks anyway ^^ [21:18] lordmofisto: what is dban? [21:18] ha ha...there is no sudo get-driver command...there is make install though if you what i mean [21:19] Darik's Boot and Nuke [21:19] guntbert: hdd wiper [21:19] guntbert, a tool to nuke a driver [21:19] *drive [21:19] hi. I wish to use a full disk encrytion on top of LVM. [21:19] hi i've a problem i erased my first account and move everything to the other with success but i can't load anymore my ntfs partition [21:19] however I want 2 or 3 disks in my LVM. [21:19] and I want all of them encrypted. [21:19] I don't think this is possible without typing 3 passphrases, correct? [21:19] dsrogers, I recommend not encrypting your system partitions :) [21:20] dsrogers:encrypting your home is enough [21:20] dsrogers, I believe there is a way to query for the passphrase off of insertable media like a USB stick but I haven't tried it .. that way you wouldn't need to type it [21:20] ¿ haha bye thanks everyone [21:20] yes, I've thought about that. However you can't have the media itself encrypted. [21:20] freeburn, enough for whom? /var/www /tmp logs... depends all on the threat model [21:21] yes. it's not enough for me. [21:21] must have pretty much full disk encryption [21:21] if I can query removable media, then I can query a small partition that holds the keys. [21:21] and encrypt that. [21:21] I don't want to sound nosey but why would you want full disk encryption? [21:21] dsrogers, alternate installer should be able to do lvm + cryptsetup [21:22] is true crypt availabe? [21:22] dfh: not sure it plays nicely with multiple drives in the LVM:. [21:22] dsrogers: It is possible. Write a script that'll load the keys for your hard drives. Name it keyscript.sh or something. It might be easier if you just go ahead and type them all one at a time. :P [21:22] freeburn, yes but not for system partitions [21:23] red2kic: yes, that is what I was pursuing before I realized I should check to see if it has been done already [21:23] is there a terminal command to get in to the MBR? [21:23] dsrogers: It have been done. I personally vouched I have done this in the past. [21:23] dsrogers, that would work, one phrase to decrypt the partition that has the other phrases .. good thinking :) [21:23] lordmofisto: What do you want to get?

That's most of what I need. [21:25] lordmofisto, you can erase it with a ubuntu live cd and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=something appropriate [21:25] lordmofisto: If you just want to zero it out, just do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 [21:26] lordmofisto: where sda is the hard drive in question. === TheBorg is now known as Mab879 [21:26] aeon-ltd: i dont see any ppa's i dont mind compiling, can you give me a link to a tutorial?

I read that as "I want you to tell me explicity how to copy my home directory" [22:04] kerneloops_: sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency [22:04] hello [22:04] yes ActionParsnip lol [22:04] k [22:04] kerneloops_: if you use that kernel then any issue you get will NOT be supported here [22:04] is it possible to cat server file at same time ? [22:04] several [22:05] ActionParsnip: write to him :P [22:05] artuio, cat takes any number of files as arguments and displays them in order. [22:05] kerneloops_: oops, my bad. casper_por see above ;) [22:05] casper_por: install it using sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency [22:05] red2kic: Well yeah, that's be helpful [22:05] how do I install the Logitech dual action controller, I am using 10.10 Ubuntu, but this tutorial doesn't work http://linuxgamingtoday.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/install-and-use-usb-based-gamepads-in-ubuntu/ [22:05] have done everythin, but apt-get didn't find package linux-lowlatency [22:05] please help [22:05] artuio, you should try 'man cat', as well [22:05] well [22:05] casper_por: did you enabled extra repositories? [22:06] yes [22:06] casper_por: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abogani/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install linux-lowlatency [22:06] :) ActionParsnip [22:06] now my question is cat 2 file next to next ? [22:06] lordjj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/585064/ [22:06] dfh, thanks :) [22:06] artuio: there is the diff command if you want to compare 2 files [22:06] Anybody here using "openconnect", the cisco anyconnect plugin for network manager? I can't seem to find the actual option to create a Cisco Anyconnect VPN, only PPTP :( [22:07] dfh: Verbose! He might think nothing is happening! [22:07] Have you restarted network manager rockets? [22:07] artuio, if you have two files, called 'foo' and 'bar', and they each contain two lines like "line". Then you run `cat foo bar`, you will see 4 lines which say "line" -- is that what you mean? [22:07] no [22:07] that one i know well askreet [22:07] Martin8412, I've restarted my computer actually. [22:07] i guess i'm not sure what you're asking, artuio [22:08] i think ActionParsnip get my point [22:08] I've installed vpn plugins in the past for NM and generally the new option shows up right away. [22:08] i just only need to compare several file next to nex [22:08] rockets: And you are sure you have installed the acutal plugin, and not just openconnect :) [22:08] let me check his command [22:08] artuio: all i can suggest is using screen, or 2 terminals [22:08] ah, you want to display them side-by-side -- diff will show differences between two files, but not the contents of each file [22:08] jordan_U: you still there? [22:08] Martin8412, I don't see any related software to install . . . [22:08] lordmofisto: Yes. [22:09] lordjj, OK so add a "-v" to the cp command and if you have special characters you might tell the mount command to use utf8, ask if you need details [22:09] there are some GUI programs which show diffs in a more side-by-side manner. check out 'meld' [22:09] jordan_U: ok I am at the grub-rescue prompty [22:09] it will show which lines are missing, added, etc very clearly [22:09] lordmofisto: What is the output of "ls"? [22:10] : well, everythin done well, except apt-get install linux-lowlatency. It's still wrte that there is no such package [22:10] rockets: I have the plugin installed myself, I have network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openconnect-gnome and openconnect installed :) [22:10] no diff not the correct one [22:10] Martin8412, Thanks! I'll check on those! [22:11] i need a command listing 2 files with all details next to next [22:11] jordan_u: it says (fd0) [22:11] dfh: if there are spaces in the folder names, I can use "" right? [22:11] Martin8412, ah, I see. If I search for anyconnect, only openconnect comes up, but if I search for openconnect, the rest come up. I appreciate your help sir. [22:11] how can I check that at ppa needed files at one's places? [22:11] ;) [22:11] * andymcpants is so awesome because I could solve me problem using google and not write here :p [22:11] lordmofisto: Do you have a floppy drive? Are you trying to boot from an external (USB) drive? [22:11] like when i do $cat file file2 [22:11] display in this way : [22:11] file1 file 2 [22:11] lordjj, correct, or single quotes or you escape with "\" [22:12] * andymcpants buys the next round! [22:12] Martin8412, Basically I'm trying to get Evolution to connect to my company's exchange 2010 server remotely. They really need to get support for Exchange Web Services into evolution :( [22:12] yea! [22:12] jordan_U: Floppy isn't hooked up (power and ribbon) and I am trying to boot from a pci ide card since the motherboards onboard IDE is shot [22:13] rockets: I think thunderbird has better exchange support. I used it on my previous work. [22:13] "unsuported" motherboards can cause kernel panics ? [22:13] andymcpants, Thunderbird doesn't have *any* exchange support. What are you talking about? [22:13] andymcpants, It supports IMAP/POP sure, but that's not "exchange support" [22:13] <-- exchange admin here :P [22:14] rockets: sorry to hear that :/ [22:14] rockets: can't you enable pop / imapi and connect to that [22:14] rockets: sorry I remembered it wrong, I was administrating mDaemon which is IMO a really bloated sucky server for M SBS [22:14] ActionParsnip, IMAP != IMAPI, two completely different htings. [22:14] lordmofisto: The problem is that you have a buggy BIOS which is presenting the first partition of the drive as a floppy device. It's completely bizzarre irrational behavior that someone had to add extra code to purposly cause, yet it is none the less common. [22:14] There is no such thing as IMAPI [22:14] IMAP != IMAP [22:14] rockets: microsoft really need to permit other clients than crappy outlook to connect to their servers [22:14] ActionParsnip, they do. [22:14] rockets: you get the idea [22:14] artuio: you could use vim's split feature if you have vim-full installed. open two files by `vi -O file1 file2`. [22:15] btw, I somehow ruined my graphical interface, can someone take a look? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713147 [22:15] ActionParsnip, Exchange fully supports IMAP/POP, any mail client can use it. [22:15] jordan_u: that doesn't surprise me thats Dell for you [22:15] rockets: You can still use the web client if somethings urgent you know *nodding [22:15] rockets: then if evolution isn't suitable for yuor needs, use something else [22:15] artuio: then you can use the key sequence CTRL+w, w to change between windows. [22:15] rockets: there are plenty of capabale mail clients available in the default repos :) [22:15] ActionParsnip, Obviously but evolution includes full exchange support for 2003 and 2007. [22:15] perfect askreet [22:16] They just don't support 2010 remotely yet. They will. [22:16] <_pg_> anyone in here use a dell mini 9? [22:16] lordmofisto: If you "ls (fd0)/" do you see a list of files? [22:16] You're sort of misreading what Evolution does. [22:16] working fine thanks askreet [22:16] np artuio [22:16] What is the name of the package i will need to run qt4 apps? [22:16] rockets: just not 2010 I'm guessing? [22:16] ActionParsnip, not yet, no. [22:16] but when the file is in two different server what is the usage ? [22:16] ActionParsnip, There is an exchange 2010 plugin for 2010, but it only works locally or via VPN, since it uses standard MAPI not RPC over HTTP mapi. [22:16] rockets: then if you need that then evolution isn't suitable for the job [22:17] artuio, unless you have a mounted version of the remote file, you will have to copy it locally [22:17] ActionParsnip, alright, I'm tired of playing semantics with you. [22:17] Evolution is the defacto exchange client for Linux, it just hasn't been updated for 2010 yet. [22:17] jordan_U: no i get an error "cannot get C/H/S values" [22:17] without mounting [22:17] with ssh i mean [22:17] And it's going to work fine as soon as I get my VPN working. [22:17] lordmofisto: Could you join #grub? [22:18] rockets: You can always W(h)INE your way to the solution [22:18] is there something that works like Pinnacle Studio for Linux? I need to capture audio and video from my dazzle and record it [22:18] artuio, so you need to ssh into two servers... can you not just open two terminals? ;) [22:18] rockets: where do you get that it's the defacto exchange client from exactly? [22:18] artuio, there are later versions of screen which support vertical split -- but i dont know how to use it since i'm using redhat at work :((( [22:18] robertzaccour: what's a dazzle? [22:18] ActionParsnip, are you serious? It's the *ONLY* exchange client for Linux . . . [22:18] robertzaccour: video editing software ubuntu @ google [22:18] <_pg_> anyone using a dell mini 9/10? [22:18] Gnea, i use it to capture audio and video from my ps3 and record it [22:19] In terms of full exchange, not just mail access. [22:19] rockets: doesn't make it defacto [22:19] rockets: its the: de jure client [22:19] jordan_U: ok I am there [22:19] ActionParsnip, again with the semantics. [22:19] andybe, what about google? [22:19] robertzaccour: so you have the files already, you just want to know what to uses to edit them with? [22:19] Hello [22:19] Is there any app to communicate with a COM modem? [22:19] Gnea, I'm trying to capture the audio and video. vlc seems to do the job but its not in color [22:19] rockets: if you start throwing ridiculous statements like that then I will query them [22:20] Dusting: minicom [22:20] I need to send AT commands to a Nokia phone connected via USB [22:20] ActionParsnip, whatever man. [22:20] robertzaccour: perhaps I'm not understanding - you've capturing it on the PS3? how does the PS3 work into this? [22:20] but it should be something for that [22:20] Gnea, capturing from the ps3 [22:20] robertzaccour, Cinelarra, Kino, Avidemux are some video editing apps you want to look at [22:21] vi -O file1 ssh root@domain:\file2 [22:21] something like scp [22:21] robertzaccour: again, this makes no sense. where does the file get saved to? [22:21] robertzaccour, cinelarra does video capture, the others probably do too [22:21] robertzaccour: I don't own a PS3, consider me a total noob in that arena [22:21] Gnea, my computer [22:21] i don't know if my syntax is correct : > vi -O file1 ssh root@domain:\file2 [22:22] artuio, you can't ssh on the vi command line -- it will try to open many files called "ssh", "root@domain:\file2" ;) [22:22] artuio: it is not good practice to ssh to root [22:22] robertzaccour: okay, then yeah, avidemux, pitivi, kino, audacity ought to get the job done === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [22:22] artuio, why not scp the file, then view it? [22:23] robertzaccour: personally, I go with avidemux [22:23] gnea: i see avidemux supports all 3 platforms now, that's a good sign :) [22:23] ale...o co się rozchodzi?:-) [22:23] robertzaccour: Gnea: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/ [22:23] Hello! [22:23] critical_max: I gave a presentation on it at a local LUG meeting recently, it supports quite a bit :) [22:24] yes that's an other possibility askreet [22:24] helo [22:24] but what is the equivalent of that one [22:24] it was a rather smooth talk when I had Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 running at the time [22:24] <_pg_> can vmware fusion run netbook ubuntu w/unity? [22:25] artuio, there is no equivelant way to open a file on a remote system without first mounting that system via some network file system (NFS, SSHFS, etc), unless the editor supports ssh, which i do not believe vim does. [22:25] _pg_: can it run Ubuntu? [22:25] gnea, robertzaccour: i'm seeing both Avidemux and Cinelarra in a "top 10 open source software" list. good stuff. [22:25] i'll try those thanks [22:25] <_pg_> Gnea: it is complaining about not having some driver. vmware tools are installed and prop drivers are enabled [22:25] artuio, you may want to check out sshfs though, it will allow you to mount remote systems and modify the files as if they were local. [22:25] so with svi it is possible ? [22:25] critical_max: I never got into cinelerra much, it used to have some issues [22:25] <_pg_> Gnea: but as of yet it wont let me launch in unity mode [22:26] _pg_: have you tried any other virtualization software, like virtualbox? [22:26] <_pg_> Gnea: not yet, but fusion typically has more powerful options-at least in my experience [22:26] gnea: looks like both were last updated around november 2010. i haven't used either for years [22:27] Hi all, I have a question on 32bit vs 64 bit. In the Ubuntu document, it recommends 64bit version, buy why the 32bit version is recommended in the download page? === jeremy_ is now known as Guest36534 [22:27] I watch videos on Chrome 10 or Firefox 4 . If i reload the page or re-open the page the video starts from beginning to load (download) . My connection is slow but my computer is very good. I need to increase my cache memory for videos ( flash and html5 videos...) but i don't know how.. can someone please help me ? Thank you! [22:27] critical_max: yeah, they're rather consistent, that's what I like about them [22:27] <_pg_> yang_: how much ram do you have [22:28] mili_cor, that's not really a thing you do. [22:28] mili_cor, that's just how it works. [22:28] _pg_: I gave up on vmware a few years ago when virtualbox started to give more solid results [22:28] <_pg_> Gnea: touche [22:28] (ot) mili_cor: where do you watch the html5 videos? [22:28] Gnea, you don't like vmware workstation? (aside from it being pricy), it's fairly awesome. [22:28] mili_cor: check out "Flashget" to save them to your drive [22:28] does anyone here use apt-cacher-ng? [22:28] _pg_: plus, virtualbox is in the repository, so we support it... and it's cross-platform [22:28] rockets: ? you mean there is no solution for this... but sometimes after i reload the page it is downloaded already but sometimes not. i think it is something like cache... [22:29] mili_cor: YouTube sucks with its buffer/caches. Use youtube-dl [22:29] gnea, _pg_: virtualbox has been much simpler to use than VMWare since VMWare's architecture change a couple years ago. recommend virtualbox for development use. [22:29] _pg_:4GB [22:29] yang_, I think 64bit is preselected and recommended for servers because they usually got the hardware and workload to benefit from 64bit, on desktops 32bit is still default because it more "just works" (no matter what hardware and what binary blobs a user might want to use) [22:29] <_pg_> yang_: go 64 bit [22:29] rockets: these days, there's nothing that vmware can do that virtualbox can't [22:29] kerneloops_: i dont know i just write it.. some youtube videos or some other pages.. it is not important now which sites has html5 ...:( [22:29] mili_cor, that probably depends on how that website is implementing the video. It's probably not something you can fix. [22:29] Gnea, sure about that? [22:30] rockets: yup, it's designed to emulate a whole computer, what more could anyone possibly want? [22:30] mili_cor, that's just the way web browsers present the page/applet. If you want to save the videos for later use Flashget or something similar. [22:30] rockets: probably ? O:-) [22:30] Gnea, does it have robust snapshotting? [22:30] !ot [22:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:30] rockets: why don't you try it and find out for yourself? [22:30] Gnea, I have, and last time I did, it didn't. [22:30] mili_cor, just get th e firefox plugin to download them [22:31] rockets, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:31] Gnea, virtualize* not emulate ;) [22:31] bazhang: it's on topic, virtualbox is better supported under ubuntu [22:31] critical_max: no i use also flashgot jdownloader... but i sometimes close the videos which i dont want to download.. so i need a solution.. :( [22:31] dfh: there's a difference? ;) [22:31] critical_max, no its not. lets move on [22:31] mili_cor: tried youtube-dl [22:32] mili_cor, video download helper ff plugin [22:32] _pg_, dfh: I am on 64bit now. thanks. i just wonder why they are inconsistent. [22:32] yang_, badly worded description on that page. it has a bug filed against it [22:32] yang_, there wasn't a proper Adobe Flash 64bit plugin for Linux until fairly recently. that's one major reason for 32bit recommendation in the past. [22:33] Can someone tell me what the proper program would be to repair a problem on my filesystem using the LiveCD? Or what I should use to identify the issue once I get booted into the LiveCD? [22:33] bazhang: ActionParsnip: no i use also flashgot jdownloader... but i sometimes close the videos which i dont want to download on my hdd.. so i need a solution.. :( are you sure there is no solution for that ? [22:33] mili_cor, sure, use the plugin I suggest, you choose to either download/convert or not [22:33] purpzey: fsck may do it [22:33] yang_, I have yet to encounter a single software package, proprietary or not that would play nicely with 64bit and ia32libs, Ubuntu is really on the very conservative side here [22:33] oh. yes. my flash always crashes. [22:34] mili_cor, squid is a local web cache if this is a serious issue for you === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [22:34] I am running ubuntu 10.04 and trying to reset the mysql password because I cannot access the mysql admin, in the forum it is telling me to use service mysql reset-password but this does not work. any answers? [22:34] bazhang: thank you. but i told you i use many plug-in for download them.. they are very simple... but this is not a solution... :( [22:34] mili_cor, how about trying some suggestions and go from there [22:34] purpzey, do you literally mean the filesystem or messed up files on top? [22:34] on a desktop system, is it normal for /etc/network/interfaces to have no mention at all of my ethernet adaptor (just lo0) ? [22:35] mili_cor, and as you have not tried, there's no way to make further suggestions. [22:35] mili_cor, with a cache on your network you could see at least faster load times [22:35] mili_cor, but it's overkill for browsing the web for most people :P [22:35] yang_, 10.3 square 64bit runs a lot better than the flash from the repos (on my system) [22:35] Pumpkin-: yes, network configuration is handled by networkmanager, which has its own configuration [22:35] critical_max, the only application that can open video capture device with is vlc and its black and white no color [22:36] ok, i will stay with 64bit. [22:36] robertzaccour, Gnea might have solved that problem. I haven't. [22:36] yang_, 10.2* http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html [22:36] purpzey: System > Administration > Disk Utility for a GUI app. [22:36] Jordan_U: K. thanks. [22:36] robertzaccour: oh, I wasn't aware that you were still having that problem - have you tried cheese? [22:36] bazhang: critical_max: ok.. so i will pray to developers to make new features for that :) thank you! [22:36] purpzey: You're welcome. [22:36] yang dfh I user the flashplayer from the repos and mine has never crashed [22:36] mili_cor, if you get really bored look at Squid, it might do what you want, the thing is most people don't need what you want. Good luck and you're welcome [22:37] thanks dfh, i will try that [22:37] itaylor57, apart from stability "square" runs faster, even full screen - sometimes :P [22:37] Gnea: if I want to do something particularly wierd, am I best off just off just disabling NetworkManager (I suspect I am), and if so, any idea where to start ? [22:37] critical_max: i will look for it.. thank you again... [22:38] Pumpkin-, have you googled your exact model of Ethernet adapter + "linux" yet? that's not normal to not see it [22:38] Gnea, cheese is kinda buggy with the webcam but haven't thought about using it as a capture device otherwise [22:39] yang_: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash Thanks [22:39] cannot access mysql administrator on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas [22:39] Pumpkin-, whats the chipset, what are you trying to achieve [22:39] critical_max: oh no, its working. I'm just not very used to Ubuntu on the desktop. I've got a particularly strange desired network setup though (with some virtualised Dynamips devices linked into my actual network). === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [22:40] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, it popped out the CD from my drive, and I pressed enter once it was out. Now it's just sitting there (the computer) and the screen is pitch black. No key press works, it's like it froze up right before the reboot or something? This is a fresh install on a freshly formated disk - just I just manually turn the computer off or .... wait? [22:40] riptly: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [22:40] Pumpkin-, i would definitely try to solve it without disabling Network Manager. Can you describe what you're trying to do in detail? [22:40] riptly, how long have you been waiting so far === darkdevil is now known as Guest88580 === Guest88580 is now known as Guest48150 [22:41] riptly: if you use an nvidia video chip, use the bootoption: nouveau.blacklist=1 instead of the nomodeset one described [22:41] Pumpkin-, just looked up Dynamips and it's a virtualized Cisco router, ok. [22:41] bazhang: Uhm, about 3-5 minutes. [22:41] sorry ActionParsnip, i am not on my machine now [22:41] critical_max: I want to tag 3 dot1q VLAN's to a switch on one physical ethernet cable, one for my machine to use normally, and two to connect to Dynampis "emulated" Cisco devices. [22:41] Does anyone have an idea how to get the plymouth default boot screen back after installing the ATI drivers? All I get is a momentary monospace "Ubuntu 10.10" and then it takes me to login [22:41] ActionParsnip: I have yet to enter Ubuntu, this is right after the installation completes. [22:41] yang_: if you can get the output, I can advise [22:41] riptly: fine, but do you know your video chip? [22:42] ActionParsnip: I'm on ATI radeon [22:42] Pumpkin-, ok so you want to add a couple of virtual Ethernet devices? [22:42] HD5770, but I can't be more specific unless I get into an OS :) [22:42] riptly: the boot options are appplied before the OS loads and will change how the kernel works [22:42] <_pg_> required driver for unity not found [22:42] <_pg_> booooooooooo [22:42] riptly: use the nomodeset option as described in the link then, should be ok [22:42] _pg_: boot to 2D unity [22:43] ActionParsnip: I don't think you understand my problem, let me rephrase. [22:43] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: i have "desktop, safe mode, and netbook" as boot options at login screen [22:43] thats a pity. i am using mac now.. [22:43] critical_max: if I just use update-rc.d to turn off networkmanager, I can just setup everything the way I want. So I'm going with that :) [22:43] riptly, give a couple more minutes [22:43] Pumpkin-, broadly speaking it involves using "ifconfig eth0:1 netmask" , eth0:2, etc...you might have already tried that.. [22:43] _pg_: ok then go to the desktop, get 3D accelleration going then jump into the unity [22:43] bazhang: Alright, I figured the boot sector was in the writing or something? [22:43] Pumpkin-, just try to stop network manager by disabling its service, not ripping it out entirely ;) [22:43] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: hmmkay [22:43] ActionParsnip: mine is 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.10.1 and I have yet to have it crash [22:44] critical_max: thats what I did ?. Just told it not to run at startup ? [22:44] Pumpkin-, ahh yes you have got it :) [22:44] riptly, who knows. I've had that happen and hard reset after an install and it was fine. either way not much lost as it was a fresh install in my case [22:44] Because first time I installed Ubuntu, I pretty quickly turned it off and I couldn't load Ubuntu after that. The second time I let the computer run for a while (I fell aslepp) and I could press enter and it rebooted by itself. [22:44] riptly: hold shift at boot and you can add the boot options [22:45] hello [22:45] riptly, this is fresh and not an upgrade correct? was there a separate home partition involved? [22:45] Pumpkin-, yes disabling it with update-rc.d should be fine. Every once in a while you see someone who's actually *removed* the package and is in a world of hurt when they just want to do normal user networking. Didn't want you to be that person down the line. :) [22:45] bazhang: Fresh, and no. Nothing I specified myself at least. === kn100 is now known as Guest84456 [22:46] riptly, might be something to consider for future use [22:46] riptly: the nomodeset option will sort the black screen [22:47] ActionParsnip, he's stalled at restarting after a fresh install, not rebooted yet [22:47] ActionParsnip: Yes, as you said, but I'm just wondering if I'll corrupt the installation if I just manually shut it down now. [22:48] bazhang: i see [22:48] riptly: did the install say it's done? [22:48] riptly: misunderstood earlier, sorry [22:48] ActionParsnip, yes, he removed the cd and hit enter as well [22:49] i'd just go for it [22:49] ActionParsnip: Yea, I was trying to tell you but the answers kept coming so I figured I was misunderstanding :\ [22:49] riptly: Anything happen when you do Ctrl-Alt-F5 or F4 or F3 or F7 etc.? [22:49] ActionParsnip: Alright, pulling the plug.... *shrugs* [22:50] riptly, worst case, 45 minutes or so lost, on the other hand you could set up a home partition as separate if it is problematic [22:50] riptly: Ctrl-Alt-Del? [22:50] Nope, the screen is still in sleep mode and I don't see any HDD action. [22:50] terry_, no [22:50] bazhang: Ok... [22:50] terry_: Didn't work either. [22:50] riptly: just hold power btn for 5 secs, it will die good [22:50] riptly: Ok, continue... [22:51] irc.bluesphereweb.com [22:51] ActionParsnip: I'm an expert in shutting it down manually :) [22:51] cool [22:51] bazhang: Why should I do another partition for /home? [22:52] riptly, I'll explain if/when you get back [22:52] bazhang: Oh, I'm on a separate computer with this one :) [22:52] hi everyone! Sorry to just burst in like that, but does anyone know how to fix this: When connected via cable I can access the local windows network (shares etc.), when connected via WLAN I can't. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 today, but I worked with Linux before [22:52] riptly, ha, I'm stepping away for a minute. [22:52] ActionParsnip, bazhang: It worked. [22:53] Guest55493: are you fully updated? [22:53] riptly: sweet [22:53] yes [22:53] Guest55493: might be the ports are blocked in the wifi hub [22:53] Guest55493: Sounds like the router has two separate networks, one for wired one for wifi. [22:53] ok thanks, gonna check that [22:53] ActionParsnip, bazhang: Thanks for the assistance! [22:54] bazhang: Oh, then I'll be here, or I'll search the web for it :) [22:54] Guest55493: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [22:54] Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [22:55] Guest55493: if yoyu [22:55] Guest55493: if you press ALT+F2 and run: smb://host/share whilst on the wire, does it work ok? [22:56] Guest55493: sorry, wireless [22:56] I have a DNS and I need help using it for SSH. I have never done anything like this before. I am currently in windows, and would like to use PuTTY. Then I need help using the SSH feature in Ubuntu. Anyone interested? [22:56] nope. could not be mounted [22:57] #ubuntu-beginners [22:57] bazhang: ssh user@192.168.1.5 #Where user=actual-user-name and 192.168.1.5=Actual-IP-of-target [22:57] battlehands: what have you tried so far and what problem did you encounter? [22:57] terry_, tab fail? [22:58] just trying smbclient -L [host] right now [22:58] battlehands: ssh user@192.168.1.5 #Where user=actual-user-name and 192.168.1.5=Actual-IP-of-target [22:58] bazhang: Yea, sorry [22:58] terry_, :) [22:58] battlehands, for putty tutorial check http://www.jfitz.com/tips/putty_config.html [22:58] th0r, I tried logging into my desktop from another city and I was being told that I could not find the host. [22:58] battlehands: Another City? [22:59] battlehands: is your desktop behind a wifi router and did you try to access it using the IP or a name? [22:59] smbclient -L [host] listed the shares correctly, but: "Connection to [host] failed (ERROR NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) [22:59] terry_, yes. I tried accessing it using both the IP and the Name. It is behind a router. [22:59] sorry... That was for th0r [22:59] Can someone give me some direction... I am using the Disk Utility to repair my filesystem (it wouldn't mount at startup)...It's returning "The Drive is NOT clean" for the drive I cannot mount at startup...Obviously there's still an issue there, is there another way to fix it...The drive will mount via LiveCD... [22:59] battlehands: if it is behind a router you will need to set up port forwarding in the router [22:59] th0r, even if I am using a DNS? [23:00] battlehands: Do you have port forwarding enabled for port 22 on it? [23:00] terry_, Im not sure. :( [23:00] Guest55493: can you ping the hostname over the wireless? [23:00] battlehands: yes, you will still have to forward the port. And I would suggest you forward a non-standard outside port to port 22 on your computer, for security reasons [23:00] ok [23:00] battlehands: as th0r says, you will need to set the router up to forward the port to it so that it will be accessable from the other side.

[23:01] basically it doesn't work [23:01] Hello... thanks in advance! Looking for help disabling sftp. [23:01] i think i broke ubuntu... nautilus doesn't start from keyboard shorcuts neither from the terminal [23:01] I can ping internet addresses and the gateway [23:01] <_antant> can I install grub as a bootloader without having ubuntu/whatever installed? [23:01] battlehands, make sure you don't use port 22 or 2222, they are commonly attacked [23:01] thievesguild: just turn off sshd [23:01] battlehands: Do you have an outside IP? (You say you are wanting to access it from another city..) [23:02] Hi th0r... I did comment out the line in the config, and restarted (rebooted too) still has access. [23:02] Hello I am a beginner using 10.04. My trouble is that my wireless keeps dropping and does not reconnect. Google brings up many, many related posts so clearly it's a common problem. But they all say different things. Is there not a hub page or megathread for this problem? [23:02] Guest55493: connect the wire and run: route; echo then connect to the wireless and run: route compare the outputs [23:02] thievesguild: is sshd running (ps ax | grep ssh) [23:02] ebbe: it's a problem with your router probably. Have you tried changing the broadcast channel on the router? [23:02] ebbe: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [23:02] ebbe: also make sure your firmware is updated on the router [23:03] Yes, th0r, it appears to be... I've installed vsftpd... that is listening on 21, sftp on 22 [23:03] purpzey: Choose check and repair filesystem. [23:03] critical_max: It doesn't drop from Windows... Doesn't that mean the router is OK? [23:03] <_antant> ActionParsnip: can I install grub as a bootloader without having a linux install? [23:03] ebbe: that's good info to have. [23:03] Jordan_U: I did...the error is "File system check on....File System is NOT clean" [23:03] thievesguild: ok...then you will have to disable vsftpd or block port 22 (which would effectively kill ssh as well [23:03] _antant: sure you can use the ubuntu livecd [23:04] ebbe: and yeah, less likely to be your router. what have you found that's relevant to your wireless card so far? [23:04] ebbe, whats the chipset [23:04] Will try dmesg | tail next time. Also, it does not reconnect automatically even though I have ticked that box. [23:04] thievesguild: make sure you aren't 'double-dipping'. ssh and vsftp might both be trying to run sftp.....do you run both? [23:04] ActionParnsip: I'm gonna do that now, thanks [23:04] I'd like to use vsftp, instead of sftp, and I'd still want SSH access, for some users. From what I can see, sftp doesn't restrict a user to their home directory. Do I have that right? [23:04] Does smb use port 445? If so Guest55493 can do nmap -P 445 192.168.178.22 to see if it answers. [23:05] thievesguild: it has been a while since I toyed with it, but I think you can jail ssh users into their home dir [23:06] ebbe: given that it works in windows, what is the chipset/card model (including exact revision of card if applicable, chipsets change) [23:06] * thievesguild smiles. "Thanks th0r.. I get hints of that, but can't get it working" [23:06] nmap -p 445 192.168.178.22 to see if it answers. [23:06] It's a Dell. Not sure what the chipset is. Perhaps I can find out from the Dell website. [23:06] ebbe, lspci in terminal to paste.ubuntu.com please === cdudley is now known as luminaire [23:06] thievesguild: I used to just run ssh, that gave me scp and sftp if I remember correctly [23:07] thievesguild, th0r: jailkit is something I've used with good success to jail users. it will set up the chroot environment and limit to what apps you want. [23:07] ActionParnsip: Ok there is one difference, I try to correct that [23:07] * thievesguild nods. "You're right th0r... but it allows all users into all directories. Not what I want at all." [23:07] thievesguild, th0r: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/ if you really need to set up ssh chroot jails that's your tool [23:07] Can someone help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713147 [23:07] hey guys, ive got my friends hard drive hooked up via usb to my laptop, its been not working and its saying failure imminent now that i have it plugged in but is there a way for me to try to explore it? i can see it under mounted media but it gives an error when i try to open it [23:07] thievesguild: no....I think you can change that. And check out the info critical_max just sent [23:07] thievesguild, little bit of a learning curve on it but it's dead solid once set up [23:07] critical_max... thanks [23:07] Can anyone help me out, my filesystem won't mount, I booted to LiveCD, tried check/repair it is returning "The filesystem is NOT clean" [23:08] I can't believe this come enabled as default on Ubuntu server lts [23:08] thievesguild, you're welcome [23:08] excuse me, foilks, could someone help me with an bootup question?

[23:09] oh, sorry, you said "tried check/repair". Misread. [23:09] dstorrs, "sudo update-rc.d mysql enable" [23:09] dstorrs: Right...check/repair... [23:09] purpzey, which FS do you use?

[23:10] dstorrs: sure, pastebin it [23:10] http://pastebin.com/7Wp6uUUa [23:11] purpzey, use fsck from the terminal and post the output [23:11] dfh: What is the command? I mean, I know fsck...but what options do I need? [23:11] critical_max: it's a non-standard install, runs under the company "special functions" user. [23:11] merryman540: You able to boot at all? [23:11] not ideal, I know.

[23:12] merryman540: Linux Mint is the one you installed last? [23:13] merryman540: Or was it the 8.04 you installed last? [23:13] terry_ no the ubuntu 8.04 was the one I installed last [23:13] dstorrs: much discussion on MySQL block size here: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/?s=mysql+block+size [23:14] merryman540: Oh, I see.... well. I think you might be best off to upgrade to grub2 but... well 8.04 is maybe too old for that... let me see. [23:14] I have tried to paste my lspci output to paste.ubuntu.com, not sure it worked. Never tried this before. Does the lspci contain info on my chipset? [23:14] Grub2 is sexy. [23:14] critical_max: ah, fantastic. Thank you. [23:14] dstorrs, I located debian_start on my mysql install and it appears to be the script that checks for corrupt tables and root accounts [23:14] ebbe, yep, give us the url [23:14] merryman540: try to chainload mint [23:14] dstorrs, you can read it, it's a short shell script :) [23:14] yw [23:14] !grub | merryman540 [23:14] merryman540: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

[23:15] dstorrs: yes, those guys will have the nitty gritty for ya [23:15] Sorry for taking up your time on what is apparently all mysql stuff. [23:15] can anyone help me out? i have a damaged windows hard drive hooked up to my computer via usb and im trying to recover data from it. i have no experience [23:15] I appreciate the help [23:15] Sorry, that should have been paste.ubuntu.com/585091 [23:15] dstorrs: No problem, anything to keep you on Ubuntu right? ;) [23:15] :> [23:16] what's the command to find out dhcp hostname in terminal?

[23:16] GuyCanada: absolute worst case if you can't get anything, contact DriveSavers.com [23:16] i believe i have broken ubuntu now launcher neither nautilus work [23:16] ! dhcp [23:16] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router.

[23:20] GuyCanada: you should attach it via ata, not usb, otherwise the recovery will be very slow (usb has a delay of some sort on physical errors) [23:20] merryman540: What is happening to 10.04? (What is it that is broken?) [23:20] ebbe, eth1 is probably the broadcom device. please check the bot link to make sure you have the driver installed correctly [23:21] terry_I'll try the grub site.

Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [23:32] Hi. Firefox 4 is released. How can I update my Firefox 3 in Ubuntu 10.10? [23:32] !ff4 | ff4isthere [23:32] ff4isthere: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [23:32] Pici: thank you. [23:33] hi. where do i get 32bit gstreamer-plugins from? wine needs it. there is no lib32gstreamer-plugins [23:33] lubosz, perhaps gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse [23:34] dfh: I apologize...you were right...it was sdb1 I am running the fsck now... [23:34] lubosz, you can search by keywords with "apt-cache search gstreamer | grep plugins" etc [23:34] purpzey, np [23:34] critical_max: yes i need them in 32bit on a 64bit system [23:34] hi, i'm running lucid and want to update apache ant from the standard 1.7.1 package to the 1.8 line, but i dont know hwo to do that without uninstalling eclips [23:34] critical_max: like in ia32-libs [23:34] is there a way to do that, or should i just trust that all my settings are going to be retained [23:34] Pici: this will install Firefox 4 near to Firefox 3, or it will _update_ Firefox installation (what is what I want to do)?

[23:36] rigel: you can find a 3rd party ppa with the version of the app you desire. the link gives a search [23:36] lubosz, i'm not running 64bit so you should search with apt-cache and see if there is a more appropriate package for your need. those are the 32bit packages on my system. [23:36] hi guys, anybody know if there are issues building the (official) nvidia driver modules with the gold linker? I'm getting some odd issues with X not starting newer kernel versions and I was wondering if it might have started when I switched to gold [23:36] critical_max: i have gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed. but it is in /usr/lib per default. i need a 32bit packe that installs in /usr/lib32 [23:36] ActionParsnip: there is an ant1.8 package in the main repos [23:36] but if i uninstall the ant metapackage, it installs all the dependencies etc === needhelp1 is now known as Guest67140 [23:36] critical_max: ok then you don't know the pain with wine on 64 bit :) [23:37] maybe its not a metapackage, whatever [23:37] but eclipse is dependent on it === Guest67140 is now known as helpme1 === helpme1 is now known as helpme101 [23:37] lubosz, yeah I haven't had to deal with that, but I get what you're saying. Try searching with apt-cache [23:37] lubosz: never had an issue personally, it just did what it needed to do [23:37] lubosz, I don't have any 32-bit packages offered since mine are all 32bit ;) [23:37] ff4isthere: it will replace your old install with the new one [23:38] hi everyone, does anyone know how to get hdmi output on a sony laptop with latest nvidia drivers? i dont see anywhere in the nvidia settings for hdmi, when i plug the hdmi cord in it just searches for a signal.. [23:38] helpme101, make sure the source button on your monitor is set to hdmi, not vga/dvi [23:38] helpme101: try clicking the 'detect displays' button a few times [23:39] critical_max, im on a laptop what do you mean by source button? lol [23:39] on your monitor [23:40] or tv or whatever. [23:40] yeah but im on a laptop lol, it works fine in windows.. [23:40] helpme101, the button on the HDMI monitor [23:41] yeah, it just says searching for signal on my tv.. works fine on windows7 but i want to get rid of windows.. ;p [23:41] bazhang: it looks like I already have the latest driver (STA) installed correctly. [23:42] helpme101, System > Preferences > Monitors is the control panel. it should be showing both displays there. On your TV, you need to make sure it's searching for HDMI, not for some other input. That's what I mean by the "button" (my monitor for example has a button that cycles through vga/hdmi/dvi and it gets lost sometimes when my Ubuntu machine is sleeping) [23:42] I ran updates today for ubuntu 10.10 and lost Windows XP from my grub menu. « sudo update-grub2 » does not add windows xp to /boot/grub/grub.cfg . How should I proceed? [23:42] can someone shed some light on how to install the latest java 1.7 on ubuntu 10.10 x64? http://download.java.net/jdk7/ there's no installer, just a snapshot [23:42] helpme101, your TV might have lost track of the fact that it was taking input from HDMI. Just the equivalent of "not plugged in". something to rule out before we look at the software side.

[23:45] nmaxchat: bleachbit is pretty friendly and very good. Avoid steps which say they will take a long time and watch the browser settings. Also close as many apps as possible so the files are unlocked [23:45] aperson, googling for "java 1.7 jdk linux" returned this page download.java.net/jdk7/binaries/ which has tarballs. [23:45] vadal: grab it from playdeb, and it does [23:45] critical_max↳ but those aren't the latest [23:45] dfh↳ there is, but it doesn't go over installing it [23:45] jrib: sudo update-grub maybe [23:45] aperson, I don't know where to find newer than what Sun distributes. Sorry. [23:45] ActionParsnip: how? i'm not sure what you mean [23:45] critical_max↳ what I linked *is* what sun distributes [23:45] ActionParsnip, I'll try that thanks [23:46] I just changed my default language on my Ubuntu 10.10 and my home folder's folders changed names.

[23:46] aperson, can't you install the binaries by hand? [23:46] aperson, it's not an installer, you just untar it and set up your env vars by hand [23:46] dfh↳ there are no binaries [23:46] could NILFS be used in production environment? maybe I'm talking ot? [23:46] critical_max↳ yes! I'm trying to install it, now you're catching on [23:46] aperson, JAVA_HOME etc go in your .bash_profile. Been there done that. [23:46] aperson, are you sure? "Java™ Platform, Standard Edition 7 Binary Snapshot Releases" [23:46] zvacet: no change [23:46] dfh↳ see: what I linked [23:46] nmaxchat, klean sweep is designed to find files which are safe to remove... do you have a question about a particular file?

I'm trying to serve up content from XAMPP webserver, and have successfully configured dyndns (my router can receieve from the dyndns address and forward to my LAN IP). However, the page does not ever render, not even a Page not found or Host not found. It just loads. Might this have something to do with /etc/hosts.allow? or firewall configuration? [23:47] wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo apt-get update then you may find it is available [23:47] aperson, for sanity's sake, /opt is a good place to install the tarball releases [23:47] critical_max↳ I was more trying to get it in /usr/lib/jvm and select it with update-alternatives [23:48] daerda: why are you using xampp instead of the packages for a lamp stack in ubuntu's repositories? [23:48] daerda, it could have anything to do with any of those things. can you hit the page locally, first of all? [23:48] jrib: that is why I suggested reinstall grub that way it should pick all os you have installed [23:48] zvacet: but I have grub === needhelp1 is now known as Guest33390 [23:48] askreet, No. Its just that there were so many empty files, broken menus etc/ [23:48] aperson, don't put it in /usr/lib, only system should touch that properly speaking. you should be able to update-alternatives to an /opt location right? [23:48] dfh: fsck to the rescue...ty for the help! [23:48] askreet: yes I can access it locally [23:48] (http://localhost) [23:48] jrib: but you need to add windows to it [23:48] critical_max↳ I just need to know where to put what links for update-alternatives to pick it up [23:48] zvacet: yes :) [23:48] nmaxchat, if you want, throw the file list on pastebin and we can take a look? [23:48] daerda, do you have another pc on your local network? [23:48] critical_max↳ I can move it to where-ever [23:49] jrib: because I am working in a group project and we are all using XAMPP [23:49] and if so, can you hit it from that machine by ip address? [23:49] Lemme figure out how to do that [23:49] daerda: this is not a good reason :( [23:49] aperson, oooh I hit paydirt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [23:49] jrib: yes it is [23:49] askreet: yes [23:49] aperson, http://www.java.net/download/jdk7/archive/b135/binaries/jre-7-ea-bin-b135-linux-x64-24_mar_2011.tar.gz it's the latest build and contains binaries in /bin . what am I missing?

[23:49] askreet: yes to both questions [23:49] purpzey, nice to hear that [23:49] askreet: yes I did configure port forwarding [23:49] askreet: port 80 -> my local internal IP [23:49] jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD [23:49] aperson, I assume the directions for update-alternatives/java6 on that page will work for java7 [23:50] xampp isn't in ubuntu's repositories, if you have issues with it you should be asking for support from xampp folks... [23:50] daerda, i assume you have some access to a system outside of your network for testing? [23:50] zvacet: ok thank you [23:50] I just changed my default language on my Ubuntu 10.10 and my home folder's folders changed names. What would be the best way to transfer all of my files from each one to the new folder? Doing mv ~/Oldfolder/* /Newone/ does not move the hidden files and folders that I have.

[23:50] jrib: try and see if it works [23:50] daerda: if you say so [23:50] aperson, here's someone with a tarball using update-alternatives http://remind-nix.blogspot.com/2010/08/debian-setting-up-java-with-update.html [23:51] ActionParsnip, askreet So Which one should I use: Kleansweep or bleach bit and if bleach, there is a root use which ? [23:51] jrib: I wish i'd never mentioned it. I experience the same issue when serving up content with thttpd and python's SimpleWebServer [23:51] critical_max, when i go to prefrences,moniotrs, it says "it appears your graphics driver does not support the nessesary extensions to use this tool" so i open up the nvidia settings, and theres nothing in there for hdmi, i unplug it replug it in to see if it does anything but no go [23:51] jrib: Are you here to help people, or be negative? [23:51] critical_max↳ I'll give that a whirl, thanks [23:51] askreet: I'm here to help people with ubuntu issues [23:51] nmaxchat: both are fine [23:51] How do I install Firefox 4? [23:51] unless they use an application on Ubuntu that you don't like, or perhaps are not comfortable with. [23:51] Guest33390, are you on the official Nvidia driver? [23:51] !ff4 | JSK [23:51] Hi guys, I see my windows computer files on the network but from the windows computer, I can't see my Ubuntu files. What exactly do I need to do? [23:51] JSK: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [23:51] purpzey, fdisk would look at /dev/sdb which has a mbr "header" instead of a valid ext3 header, instead of properly failing and telling you: "no ext3 FS found on /dev/sdb" it gave you that misleading error code (well that's how I understand it anway) [23:52] Any other ideas? My wireless connection keeps dropping. You guys have helped me find out that I have a Broadcom BCM4312 chipset.. The connection does not drop from my Windows machine. I have the latest STA driver installed. [23:52] StepNjump: install samba, then use nautilus to share the folders [23:52] StepNJump: turn off windows firewall? [23:52] askreet: if you want to help him, go ahead. I'm not stopping you. But I'm pointing out it's preferable to install lamp from ubuntu's repositories instead of using xampp. That's all. [23:52] dfh: Sorry, my fault for being a little unclear, what would cause the file system to fail? [23:52] ActionParsnip: it didn't work, i encountered several errors [23:52] Hello, is this channel ok to ask some basic questions? [23:52] thanks actionparsnip [23:52] gon_: yes, go ahead [23:52] aperson, Sure thing, seems like a common beartrap... "java" was the first autocomplete Google gave for "update-alternatives" [23:52] critical_max, not the one from ubuntu sources, i downloaded it from the nvidia site because the one ubuntu provided just gave me a black screen [23:52] Do I have to turn off windows firewall in order to see Ubuntu files Askreet? [23:53] !samba [23:53] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [23:53] ActionParsnip: thank you. I searched for it on internet and could not find that repository. [23:53] vadal: did the deb install ok? [23:53] i only found anightlies [23:53] I need to know a command which would display all ip-adress which are connected to a certain router [23:53] purpzey, Oh many reasons, often it's hardware related, bad RAM, bad PSU, bad HDD, system crash, but software bugs could corrupt the FS as well. [23:53] I have two ubuntu boxes, one server install and one desktop install, and the desktop complains about "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, badsuperblock ..." when I run "mount -a", despite having the same /etc/fstab entries for the NFS mount as the server. I've checked the server (appliance) config, and I can't see anything (or in fact, any packets coming from the desktop). Any ideas ? [23:53] JSK: both are fine, the nightly will upgrade 3.6.whatever to the nightly build if you arent careful [23:53] Guest33390, the one from Restricted Hardware Drivers gave you a black screen? [23:53] dfh: Ok, fair enough..I'll settle for it being fixed...thanks again...take care... [23:54] JSK: the stable will upgrade the current one, the nightly installs as a seperate app [23:54] JSK: so both have advantages, depends how you want to play [23:54] daerda, are you familiar with tcpdump? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [23:54] daerda: you should clear your browser's cache after making a change on the server [23:55] Pumpkin-: I'll answer my own question. Installing nfs-common helped. Simple fix, error message is just a bit misleading :) [23:55] ActionParsnip: how? i'm not sure what you mean [23:55] how do I install the Logitech dual action controller, I am using 10.10 Ubuntu, but this tutorial doesn't work http://linuxgamingtoday.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/install-and-use-usb-based-gamepads-in-ubuntu/ [23:55] critcial_max, yeah, when i go to hardware drivers it says im up to date and its installed correctly and i can get into the nvidia settings but thats about it.. [23:55] ActionParsnip: thanks, feel better with Firefox 4. :P [23:55] askreet: no not used tcpdump [23:56] Guest33390, well that's so far so good. I did a google myself and only see people with HDMI *sound* problems on NV+Ubuntu. Not video problems. What's your card? [23:56] daerda: from a command line it will show you what connections and packets are going through your system. [23:56] daerda: a command like "sudo tcpdump port 80" will show all traffic from or to port 80, for example [23:57] daerda: then, you could hit the web server from a local PC (which works), and a remote PC (which does not work) and compare the output. [23:57] daerda: i suspect you'll get no output from the remote server, meaning the request doesn't even make it to your web server host pc [23:57] critcial_max geforce 310m i finally got it to detect my tv threw hdmi, now do i click "seperate to X screen" ? [23:58] vadal: Those instructions are over 3 years old and that may be the problem, (dated January 24, 2008) [23:58] Guest33390, in general your solution will heavily depend on your exact model of card/tv... OK so it's working now? Sure, go separate, see if it works for ya. Matter of preference/individual need there. [23:58] JSK: not for me, chromium daily here :) [23:58] I just changed my default language on my Ubuntu 10.10 and my home folder's folders changed names. What would be the best way to transfer all of my files from each one to the new folder? Doing mv ~/Oldfolder/* /Newone/ does not move the hidden files and folders that I have.
