[00:00] hello! i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix, and i cant connect to wpa2 enterprise network, is there some know issue? would you recommend for me to install 10.04? [00:00] vadal: I see xserver-xorg-input-joystick - X.Org X server -- joystick input driver [00:01] terry_: thanks man [00:01] vadal: you might just need to install that ^^^ [00:01] rypervenche, Of course you can also go into Nautilus, select Preferences > Show hidden, and use the GUI to copy stuff. [00:01] terry_: how? [00:01] vadal: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-joystick [00:02] dtcrshr, to research a known issue search google for your card's exact model (and revision) and "linux". if there is a problem it should be apparent in the first page of results as many others will s hare it [00:02] critical_max: Ok. I was just curious of a good way to do it in CLI. Are you certain that your rsync command will work? [00:02] critical_max↳ that worked, but now java won't start 'Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.' looks like I have more googling to do [00:03] rypervenche, yeah the -a switch means "all", you could also just copy the dotfiles with mv .* like jrib said. [00:03] err, move them [00:03] -a means 'archive' ;) [00:03] aperson, good, try to find the error log I guess [00:04] critical_max↳ wait, nvm it works [00:04] eggscellent [00:04] critical_max↳ I was doing java --version and not java -version [00:05] terry_: after i install? [00:06] How do I mount a casper loopback file? [00:06] aperson, heh, i hate that, it happens with every other app...no consistency [00:06] ls [00:07] Can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong? Oo http://2big4.me/V0DNAq [00:07] critical_max: apps that use getopt are mostly uniform, or popt, or libraries like it; it's mostly junk that doesn't [00:07] !ping [00:07] 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. [00:07] heh [00:07] java has single dash stuff ingrained in it since the beginning [00:08] Seta: what on earth are you linking to? Use a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com [00:08] ohsix, played with getopt in perl, lovely [00:09] has anyone in here successful sync music to ipod on ubuntu? [00:09] critical_max: the ones that bug me are the ones that are completely arbitrary, or have some theme, or ideology; like ffmpeg :D [00:09] ray24: yes, with rhythmbox [00:09] ray24, i used gtkpod for that [00:09] Is Natty due to be a long-term release? [00:09] I haven't been able to sync with rhthmbox [00:09] Polah: no [00:10] ohsix, lol ideological interfaces! [00:10] ray24: does your player show up? afaik the plugins are enabled by default, but the ipod/mtp plugins might have gotten turned off [00:10] yeah when i plug my ipod in, it opens up rhytmbox [00:11] If I do apt-get dist-upgrade, will it upgrade to the latest release or can I select a release to use? [00:11] in the plugin section, portable ipod is checked [00:11] Polah: apt-get dist-upgrade just upgrades your packages on your current release. [00:12] I thought dist-upgrade upgraded the distribution, i.e. release [00:12] askreet: no luck :( [00:12] Polah: no [00:12] Polah, you have to go in sequence when dist-upgrading. [00:12] daerda: what output did you see? [00:12] askreet: local access works, remote does not [00:12] no output from remote, at all? [00:12] that's all I can figure out [00:12] Polah, recommend using "update-manager -d" to handle it. [00:12] So it's the same as upgrade then, jrib? [00:12] askreet: nope [00:12] Polah: is your real question: how to upgrade to natty (a development release)? [00:12] daerda: this is progress then, it's not hosts.allow or any other application-level restrictions. could still be iptables, but probably your router [00:12] Polah: no, it's not the same. « man apt-get » details the differences [00:12] daerda: do an 'iptables -L' -- should be empty [00:13] Polah: upgrade means install latest available packages in this distribution release. dist-upgrade (update-manager -d) means get a new distribution release. [00:13] No, I'm getting a VPS that only supports 9.04 from the hosts and I'd like to upgrade it to 10.10 or 11.04 when it's released [00:13] Polah, indeed, would be useful to know your ultimate motive. [00:13] !upgrade | Polah [00:13] Polah: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:13] ohsix, what is the method you use to sync music? [00:13] daerda, also have you tried going to your external IP (from sites like ipchicken.com) rather than the dyndns name (in case that's the problem) [00:14] askreet: not empty [00:14] Polah, Aha, yes, you want to do a 9.10 upgrade, then a 10.04 (the most recent LTS, and a good choice for a server) [00:14] daerda: can you pastebin the output? [00:14] askreet: I've tried accessing my external IP, yes [00:14] ray24: i just drop stuff on the player [00:14] askreet: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/359220 [00:14] polah, and yes dist-upgrade is the proper option for apt-get [00:14] And it automatically syncs it? [00:14] ray24: i think you can right click and tell it to do it too, but dragging works [00:14] yep [00:15] it shows up on the player then you just eject it [00:15] daerda, that's what an empty iptables looks like :P [00:15] my ubuntu's AI is stuck in kill mode and is trying to eliminate the human race? How do I reset this behavior back to the default from installation [00:15] can you check real quick what version you have? [00:15] askreet: :) [00:15] daerda, if you had restrictions there would be entries under INPUT [00:15] pfifo: screenshot or it didn't happen [00:15] daerda, so we're back to crappy home routers and their inability to do port forwarding -- i've seen issues with this in the past solved by router restarts, or removing and then re-adding the IP. [00:15] Critical_max: I'd prefer 10.10 or 11.04 as it should be more advanced; and I don't plan to have the server for the life of 10.04 [00:15] ray24: i haven't had my ipod with me for a while, but this was in maverick; are you trying to put flac files or something on it? it wont change the format [00:16] pfifo, not appropriate here [00:16] daerda, also sometimes if you have a DMZ set somewhere, port forwarding stops entirely. [00:16] askreet: daerda I have a linux router. Works great. [00:16] Polah, sure if you need newer libraries go ahead and upgrade through to 11.04. It's easiest to dist-upgrade with less apps installed/configured, of course, just for time's sake; so you should be in good shape to proceed [00:17] terry_: nothing wrong with linux routers... but we're talking about his home router not passing traffic to apache [00:17] Polah, the more stuff you have installed the more interruptions there are to the upgrade process (scripts asking you details, diffing config files, etc). There's ways to pass apt-get switches to automatically say "yes" to whatever it thinks you should do, might be nice if you want unattended. [00:17] can somebody post the command to show the ip's connected to a certain router? === Mohammad- is now known as MohammadAG [00:18] ohsix, dragging the mp3 files does not work [00:18] hi guys... can anyone help me figure out why I can't connect ubuntu to my wireless nework... everything is working for my other systems... I keep getting the dialog asking me for hte password but I've checked and it is right [00:18] polah, apt-get -y is the switch for "do what apt thinks best" [00:18] gon__: nmap 192.168.0/24 [00:18] terry_: good for you. [00:18] polah, but i recommend doing at least one without that switch so you can get a feel for what it will ask (usually apache, etc, anything you've configured that diffs from the default config) [00:18] gon__: nmap 192.168.1.0/24 [00:19] I have a router with ddwrt on it but no modem to go with it [00:19] critical_max: All that would be installed would be the basic packages for functionality (SSH, FTP) and Java, perhaps Xorg if other people would like to access my server and use it easily. [00:19] so I'm stuck with a cheap netgear [00:19] gon__: where 192.168.1.0/24 is your actual subnet [00:19] Polah, yep, I recommend installing/configuring those services after the dist-upgrade if possible. [00:19] ActionParsnip, that's automated, right: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+question/150338 ? because that totally doesn't answer my question [00:19] Ubuntu bug 150338 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Compiz module Annotate causes unrecoverable X-session crash (dup-of: 145360)" [Medium,New] [00:19] Ubuntu bug 145360 in compiz (Ubuntu) "compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV in doPoll()" [Medium,Fix released] [00:19] thank you just a moment i'll have to install it [00:19] Polah, just for streamlining the process. It'd work either way, but more time if you install them first. [00:20] hrm... have to restart let's see if this update to network manager helps [00:20] found it... sorry for the time. [00:20] Critical_max: Assuming a standard set of packages like ftp and ssh that come as default; would it be worthwhile to remove them, upgrade and then reinstall them? [00:20] daerda: What do you mean, no modem to go with it? [00:20] Polah, I also have to give a plug for sftp unless plain FTP is a business requirement - all modern FTP clients handle it and it's secure. [00:20] Polah, no, that's not needed [00:21] Polah, I have dist-upgraded something like 4 times now with a massive load of packages, no problem, I'm just saying it's faster the less you have installed, the less there is to download :)] [00:22] daerda: You plug the router into the modem. Right? === an0nmat1r is now known as anonmatir [00:22] anyone know how i can get my 10.10 machine to poweroff on shutdown? as it is everything stops and i have to walk over and push the power button [00:22] Critical_Max: Thanks for the information [00:22] terry_: yes [00:22] polah, you should be able to do a series of 3 dist-upgrades with the -y switch and get to 10.10 with minimal fuss [00:23] terry_: then the modem into the hole in the wall [00:23] expect 2 hours each or more [00:23] daerda: Yea... right. [00:23] terry_: Thanks for the information [00:23] Polah: If you configure one thing, make it the apt mirror [00:23] gon__: NP [00:23] Critical: Just do dist-upgrade && dist-upgrade && dist-upgrade and leave it? [00:23] Polah: Find an apt mirror that's local to you, it will speed the process drastically [00:23] Polah: no. Read the link I had ubottu send you about upgrading please [00:23] Polah, Nah, you'll want to babysit in between. And do read more about it before starting. [00:24] msg ubottu !upgrade [00:24] Polah: apt-mirror is the package that lets you pick a local mirror for updates [00:25] msg ubottu !upgrade [00:25] I have a mirror 30 miles away *heaven* [00:25] Ah did it again, terribleness. [00:25] critical_max, dist-upgrade is not the way to do it [00:25] anyone know how i can get my 10.10 machine to poweroff on shutdown? [00:25] bazbang, I recommended update-manager -d but he's on a VPS [00:25] !dist-upgrade | critical_max [00:25] critical_max: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [00:25] critical_max: update-manager -d is only to upgrade to development releases [00:25] critical_max, also very bad advice [00:25] daerda: What I have is a PC with IPcop installed on it and on the green network I have an 8port gigibit switch plugged into the green network and into that is a wireless router (plugged into one of the LAN ports with the DHCP server turned off so that it acts as a wireless switch). Printer and other PCs here in the office plug into the gigibit switch. [00:26] Update manager does offer distribution releases if they aren't development, yeah; Polah specifically said he wanted bleeding edge/11.04 [00:26] critical_max: no he didn't :/ [00:26] critical_max, that wont do what he needs [00:26] Ok, feel free to take over. [00:26] It's worked for me umpteen times. [00:27] Critical_max, bazhang, jrib: I did say I'd rather upgrade to 10.10 then 11.04 after release. Just a misunderstanding, obviously. [00:27] Polah: yes [00:27] Polah, I saw that [00:27] Critical_max: I'd prefer 10.10 or 11.04 as it should be more advanced; and I don't plan to have the server for the life of 10.04 [00:27] critical_max, still not the way to go at all. [00:28] In any case, Polah should be reading the docs that have been linked. [00:28] Polah, critical_max: I think it's just confusing to say "dist-upgrade" when talking about distribution upgrades because there's a command called "dist-upgrade" and it's not how one performs a distribution upgrade [00:28] hello [00:28] critical_max, yes, and they completely go against what you are recommending here [00:28] Can someone tell me how to post a Kleansweep report for checking I can delete things [00:28] jrib: It USED to be. [00:28] !paste | nmaxchat [00:28] nmaxchat: 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. [00:29] terry_: yes, but is no longer the recommended way to do so on ubuntu [00:29] bazhang: perhaps I'm misremembering then. I'll stick to linking the docs. [00:29] anyone know why smbd would block indefinitely on 10.10 x64 during boot if a cifs (smb) mount fails due to it not being available? I'm going to use a live usb to rename my fstab, but surely this isn't expected behavior [00:29] 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/ [00:29] bazhang: so many changes :( [00:30] jrib: I think it is now: do-release-upgrade Right? [00:30] Is that it? [00:30] !upgrade | terry_ [00:30] terry_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:31] jrib: So do you recommend doing it through Update Manager? [00:31] terry_, that's what www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade says. I admit to being totally unfamiliar with that command. Finally bit by Ubuntu's fast pace, I guess. [00:31] Polah, you should do what that doc link says. jrib left and clearly I'm out of date with the process. [00:31] Polah, my last distribution upgrade was 10.04 [00:32] hi, anyone know where to find this taskbar on ubuntu ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRveGELsFQI&feature=player_embedded [00:32] critical_max, that says to use Update Manager anyway. [00:32] what is this [00:32] Upgrade instructions say: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core ; sudo do-release-upgrade [00:32] Polah, yeah from looking at that page it just uses 'do-release-upgrade' as a wrapper for update-manager functionality [00:33] my laptop freezes all of a sudden with capslock blinking. any ideas why this happens? [00:33] But cautions us to start with fully upgraded system. (All packages up-to-date). [00:33] gertidon: you mean the dock? if i had to guess i'd say awm [00:33] gertidon: *awn [00:33] yes this awesome dock [00:33] Polah, just make sure you set the local mirror first since you're planning to download so much. apt-mirror package. [00:33] How can I get sound to work in Ubuntu server [00:34] I installed alsa utils [00:34] but no sound [00:34] Critical_Max: Thanks [00:34] POlah: sure thing and sorry for the sidetrack! [00:34] anyone please? [00:34] kernel, I'm guessing that depends on a large variety of factors [00:34] kerneloops_: install pulseaudio [00:34] kerneloops: Get pulseaudio [00:34] and I was beaten to it [00:35] :) [00:35] anyone have any insight about my question? [00:35] RammyIRC: Could be a problem with your keyboard drivers but I'm no expert [00:35] i can't remove apache on my system [00:35] aguenter: Could you repeat it to save me scrolling all the way up? [00:35] polah: thanks [00:35] anyone know why smbd would block indefinitely on 10.10 x64 during boot if a cifs (smb) mount fails due to it not being available? I'm going to use a live usb to rename my fstab, but surely this isn't expected behavior [00:35] there, thanks! [00:35] no-gooder: What is the name of the package you are trying to remove? [00:35] ActionParsnip: in Ubuntu Server? [00:35] no-gooder: not using sudo or is it a dependency for something else? [00:36] kerneloops_: sure why not [00:36] no-gooder: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy apache2" [00:36] hello, I'm having anodd problem with my ssd drive i delete it's parttions,files on it and they keep getting back after reboot, what can be the cause of that ? i tried fdisk, then formating and after reboot everything is back [00:36] ActionParsnip: installing [00:36] Polah, actually i'm not sure of it.i'm very new to ubuntu. there is a folde ranmed apache2 under /etc/ [00:37] no-gooder: Also, what is your ultimate goal in removing Apache? (Why?) [00:37] critical_max, i need to install nginx [00:37] no-gooder: have you used "sudo apt-get remove apache2" ? [00:37] no-gooder: Do sudo apt-get remove apache2 then? [00:37] ^ What they said. [00:37] Perhaps purge if you want to absolutely remove it. [00:38] rammyIRC, capslock blinking is a sign for kernal panic - I have no idea about finding out what's causing it [00:38] aguenter, yes i did [00:38] tjiggi_fo : i read abt that [00:38] the /etc/apache2 directory is just configuration files [00:38] no-gooder: If you just want to free up port 80 without uninstalling Apache for now, you can use "sudo update-rc.d apache2 remove" [00:38] i cant find any log messages [00:38] i cud deal with [00:39] anyone ? maybe my mbr is broken ? [00:39] no-gooder: what is the output of "which apache2" ? [00:39] here is the pastebin : http://pastebin.com/nRUvTqaW [00:39] no-gooder: Oh you already removed the pacakge? /etc/apache2 is left because removing the package won't remove config. You should be fine leaving it there. You can also use "apt-get purge apache2" in future which will remove config as well as the package [00:40] no-gooder: if "which apache2" returns nothing then apache is successfully uninstalled [00:40] critical_max, but localhost still works [00:40] no-gooder: are you sure it is apache and not lighthttpd or something? [00:41] no-gooder, you can find if it's still running, leftover, "pgrep apache" for pids [00:41] Polah: did you see my question by the way? [00:41] aguenter, i don'T know it uses the folder /var/www. which one is it ? [00:41] How do I 'cd' to another partition using terminal? [00:41] Tom__: mount it somewhere [00:41] Tom__, probably somewhere under /mnt/ [00:41] aguenter: Yes, sorry but I've no idea. [00:41] ok; i'll check [00:42] Tom__, use the Places menu to mount partitions before you do that [00:42] critical_max, here is the pastebin : http://pastebin.com/nRUvTqaW [00:42] that's the other pastebin. [00:42] Polah: ok thanks [00:42] Hmm, random thought about mounting. Is /mnt/ supposed to be used for mounting actual drives and /media/ for removable media? [00:43] it seems to be mounted as it appears on the desktop but there's nothing in /mnt [00:43] Polah, i did that too. bu still works [00:43] Polah, since ubuntu mounts actual drives under /media/ too now, I think /mnt/ is just the older standard... I'm sure someone knows the history behind it.. [00:43] Polah: yes, that's how I mount and always assumed... /mnt/ is also for remote mount points (network shares) IMO [00:43] critical_max, i tried "sudo update-rc.d apache2 remove" but localhost still works [00:43] OK to remove ? [00:43] no-gooder: I ask because I've got mine mounted in /media/. I guess you could mount it anywhere but it just makes sense to use one of those [00:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/585127/ [00:43] aguenter: yeah, network shares go to /mnt, good point [00:44] no-gooder, so it's still running? run "pgrep apache" and find the processes and kill them.. [00:44] ActionParsnip: do I need libasound2 ? [00:44] Polah, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg03116.html [00:44] basically my system is screwed but my data is still in tact so im using a livecd but file/folder ownership is preventing me from backing up some important files [00:44] How do I know if a package is installed? [00:44] no-gooder: did you apt-get remove without rebooting? [00:44] critical_max, i did "pgrep apache" still works. goddamns shit! [00:45] no-gooder: or have you rebooted since? [00:45] hi, just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713566 [00:45] no-gooder, as I said before that just gives you the process IDs. If they exist. If no output, Apache is not running [00:45] yo sup dudes [00:45] can't find anything on the forums/launchpad/google etc [00:45] aguenter, no i haven't. should i ? [00:45] yes [00:45] Dfh: Thanks [00:45] is there a way to connect to an ssh daemon through a proxy? ive googled and the only stuff that is popping out at me is how to set up a proxy through ssh, i want to do the opposite [00:45] dfh, thank you for that link... I always wondered why it changed [00:45] oh ok now i'll reboote. [00:46] hey i was so happy i got wireless internet problim fixed and ubuntu irc chat! [00:46] 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/ [00:46] no-gooder: the binaries are still resident in memory even though you removed the package from disk, so either pkill them or reboot [00:46] Tom__ in general you can use Places menu to mount a partition, and once mounted you can use "sudo" in the terminal to read/copy from it [00:46] !sudo | Tom__ [00:46] Tom__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:46] wheres the host file [00:46] located [00:46] in what directory [00:46] billy: /etc/ [00:46] can anyone see me typing or am i locked out? [00:46] i can see it [00:46] grkblood13: i read you [00:47] k [00:47] thanks [00:47] the localhost ip is 127.0.1.1 ? [00:47] grkblood13: have patience. :) you want to do reverse tunneling, it sounds like. Look that up for starters. [00:47] idk [00:47] billy: "whereis hosts" ;) [00:47] 127.0.0.1 [00:47] or if there are any other places I can get help? [00:47] im kinda new to linux i was a windows user my whole life [00:47] b1lly: both [00:48] Im not having a good experience with ati radeon hd 4200 series using the open driver [00:48] b1lly: if you look in /etc/hosts you will see it is both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 [00:48] is it from the comm or amd? [00:48] hi i cant install firefox 4 in my ubuntu [00:48] Rodolfo, you should try the ATI official driver [00:48] to open a file in gui is gksudo gedit dir/file [00:48] got it [00:48] Rodolfo, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and choose the restricted/official driver [00:48] critical max u say i can sudo to a mounted partition but how do i reference it within the cd command [00:48] wow, this is not a good place for my question I see :( [00:48] odei, sounds like you hdd is dying [00:49] (3) Check to see if the ALSA driver for your sound card exists. Go to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and search for your sound card (chipset) manufacturer in the dropdown box. You'll be given a matrix of the sound cards made by the manufacturer. Try to match the chipset you found in step 2 with the driver(green hyperlink text). [00:49] I already did but it seems to fail AT ALL [00:49] how do I search .. [00:49] b1lly: only if you need write access, otherwise omitting gksudo is fine if you just want to read the finle [00:49] hi i cant install firefox 4 in my ubuntu [00:49] !ff4 | jorge [00:49] jorge: 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 [00:49] aguenter, you could try later - it's a pretty specific question and it's just no one knows at the moment. [00:49] there is no such repo from the U10.10 that seems to work out on this one [00:49] HELP [00:49] I dunno dfh, it's a new hdd and I seem to have fixed the i/o problems [00:50] odei, I'm afraid I don't have any other solution than to fsck and reinstall [00:50] critical_max, i dont think thats what i want, i want to connect to my ssh daemon from a proxy. i want my daemon to see the proxies IP when i connect [00:50] Tom__ when you mount the partition in Places, after that you can open it from Places in Nautilus. YOu'll see a string of numbers as the Nautilus title (ugly!) That's what you're looking for in the shell... [00:50] critical_max: I will, it just seems like I might have better luck on the forums as IRC seems to be overloaded with "easier" questions [00:50] Tom__, after that you can "cd /media/2938741074" or whatever the string of numbers is. [00:51] jorge: look at this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [00:51] woo, I haven't had a fresh install for weeks [00:51] aguenter, plenty of technical advice here, it's just no one has that precise situation. I'd definitely start a thread for now. [00:51] Does anyone recomment 10.10 over 10.04 LTS? [00:51] *recommend [00:51] critical_max: I didn't mean to imply that there wasn't. I'll go ahead and do that, thanks :) [00:51] are there any problems with ext4? this is the first time I've had a system on it, I could go back to ext3? [00:51] aguenter, good luck! [00:51] lordjj: I'm running both and I like 10.10 fine [00:52] i'm logged in on my wife's netbook using an sd card. I just backed up the home directory, deleted the partition, created a new partition for it, and replaced the data on it. i still have the root partition. how can i set it so that the root partition will see the new partition as the /home mount point? [00:52] grkblood3, so your ssh server logs show the client ip not the proxy? is it a proxy config issue? [00:52] i have apache and php installed, is there an apt-get for mysql? [00:52] lordjj:but unless you have a good reason to run 10.10 over 10.04 go LTS [00:52] grkblood3 you are just going client --> proxy --> server? what's the proxy? [00:52] critical_max, im not that far, im trying to figure out how to try to login to the daemon through a proxy [00:52] b1lly: mysql-client and mysql-server [00:53] haha funny it still worrrrrrkkkss!!!! [00:53] jeruvy which one do i need to host a mysql databse/ both? [00:53] critical_max, not sure yet, havent picked one from open-proxy.org [00:53] b1lly, if you're on a recent build you should use tasksel [00:53] b1lly: probably both [00:53] im on 10.10 [00:53] critical_max, proxy-list.org* [00:53] hello can someone tell me the pci command for checking my network card chipset please? [00:53] no-gooder, sudo netstat -plutn|grep 80 [00:53] b1lly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [00:53] i keep forgetting it! [00:53] no-gooder, that will tell you for sure wha'ts serving to port 80 [00:54] ok so who owns ati's radeon hd 42xx? [00:54] What are bogomips? [00:54] I am reading about Kleansweep and see several comments about maintenance not really being needed on Linux Plaease confirm [00:54] psydoll: lspci? [00:54] grkblood3, I can't support those random proxies, you're really on your own. [00:54] polah thank you [00:54] anyone know where to start if ubuntu cant recognize your monitor? [00:54] odei, ext4 is *stable* for all intents and purposes [00:54] Hey, I tried to create a boot drive from a USB stick using Ubuntu Startup disk creator and the Ubuntu CD, but it wouldn't work (no Kernel founf after I choose run Ubuntu). Anything I'm missing? [00:54] aguenter: is there a way to see if i have something installed [00:54] i dont know about moditers im using a laptop sorry [00:54] grkblood3, I've been there and done that and the solution is usually "try a different proxy" and as I said it's outside of the scope of this channel. [00:54] ex: to see if i got php5-mysql installd [00:54] rcmaehl: bogomips are a rough measure of the speed of your cpu. [00:54] critical_max, does it matter though? you just want the number right? if so lets say its proxy at 1.2.3.4 [00:54] rwe: run: sudo lshw -C display websearch for the product line to get your video chip setup, the monitor will be plug and play so will be fine once the driver is setup [00:55] tundra010: how is it calculated? [00:55] i made a proxy but the host site took it down [00:55] grkblood3, it does matter because those proxies are collected usually without their owner's knowledge. It's a hack. It's unsupported. [00:55] i thinking of making another tho [00:55] depends on your cpu, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BogoMips [00:55] if i wanted to use proxy 1.2.3.4 and the daemon was 5.6.7.8 what would the command be [00:55] I guess I'll try to check the hdd [00:55] swimmerdude101: why do you need a proxy [00:55] i know i need to meddle with grub, but how? [00:55] sometimes i look at bbc [00:56] Ubuntu 11.04 messed up my GRUB menu and now my Ubuntu 10.10 entry is not available. How can I fix this? [00:56] or one of those british news things [00:56] ActionParsnip thanks [00:56] b1lly: dpkg -s package-name | grep Status [00:56] grkblood3, if you want support for a proxy the only way you will get it is to pay for a proxy service (there are many, and they are cheap) [00:56] anyone know when the next ubuntu (ubuntu 11) will come out? [00:56] for what ever reason it wouldnt transfer across partitions even when using sudo nautilus but luckily it would go across to a USB :) PHEW!!!!! [00:56] swimmerdude101: same time it always has [00:57] grkblood3, you will not get help for random proxies in random lists [00:57] swimmerdude101: 11.04 [00:57] Swimmerdude101: April 28th [00:57] yeah but im new so when is that? [00:57] Oh [00:57] Cool [00:57] !natty | swimmerdude101 [00:57] swimmerdude101: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [00:57] :D cant wait totaly gonna upgrade! [00:58] Hey you guys still getting questions on how to update ff3 to ff4? [00:58] I'm in need of assistance with ipod sync on rhythmbox [00:58] critical_max, i'm sorry :) it was "node"! i used to set port 80 with 80 and it was it. now problem solved. than you very much and you guys! [00:58] How can I fix GRUB to show me my install OS(s), Natty(11.04) messed it up? [00:58] the label got changed from sda4 to sda6 [00:58] !ff4 [00:58] 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 [00:58] terry_: I know [00:58] no-gooder, glad to hear it. netstat -plutn reveals all :) [00:59] rcmaehl, all day! [00:59] terry_: I know, that's my simplified command and I have the logs to show it [00:59] rcmaehl: Sorry, missunderstood you. [00:59] terry_: ah kk [01:00] how do i install radvd? [01:00] PaPaYa, perhaps: sudo apt-get install radvd [01:00] Hi all Ubuntu users! [01:00] Hello [01:01] Is there a Xubuntu channel? Or is this the place I need to be? [01:01] there is #xubuntu [01:01] I have a question ... [01:01] sweet, thanks aguenter [01:01] !question > hypershock [01:02] hypershock, please see my private message [01:03] How do I make my own Ubuntu derivative?

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [01:03] HyperShock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [01:04] IdleOne beat me to the punch :( [01:04] It is going to be a long term project so we just don't want to modify a Live cd. [01:05] !remaster [01:05] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [01:05] HyperShock, check out that derivatives team page if you're looking at a major project. [01:05] HyperShock: What are you talking about? [01:05] can I find support? [01:06] where is the configuration file for radvd? [01:06] hi folks, is there somebody who can tell me how to make a list (command-line) of all the media-files on my external disk ? [01:06] !netbook [01:06] i need assistance with my wireless device [01:06] !netbook remix [01:07] automatrix: ls -al (/dir/to/mediafiles) >> list.txt [01:07] automatrix: do something like: find /mnt/point -name '*mp3' [01:07] automatrix: in that directory do ls >> files.txt [01:07] HyperShock, you will almost certainly need to *start* by modifying the LiveCD as in !remaster. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeTeam/GettingInvolved seems to be the entry point for a serious project [01:07] automatrix: find media_dir -name *avi -or -name *mp4 [01:07] thit is a loong long way I heard something from you, it is too long ago I came here, but you are still the most helpfull guy [01:08] automatrix: do something like: find /mnt/point -name '*mp3' ; find /mnt/point -name '*mp4' ; find /mnt/point -name '*mpg' ; etc. etc. [01:08] terry_, Polah haqe17 thanks also [01:08] is it possible to set up per application volume on ubuntu? or at least do it easily, kind of like windows 7's volume mixer with a slider for every app. [01:09] Sorry if there's a different channel for netbook remix, but how can I make alt+f2 bring up a "run command" window like it does in normal ubuntu? [01:09] MrBushido, Sound Preferences > Applications from the tray app [01:09] Why do I need to run sudo alsamixer in Ubuntu Server via SSH???? [01:09] automatrix: do: ls -alR /drive/path >> files.txt [01:09] MrBushido, that UI mimics the 7 one. [01:09] Need to specify -R to do it recursively if you have folders [01:09] Polah, there are so much paths .... [01:09] kerneloops_: you don't [01:09] kerneloops_: The use is not in audio group probably [01:10] kerneloops_: possibly because you aren't in the right group [01:10] terry_: does that mean that I can't play audio files? [01:10] Ohzie: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts? [01:10] automatrix: Probably /media/ or /mnt/ [01:10] kerneloops_: The use is probably not in audio group [01:10] anyone get atheros AT5001 drivers working? [01:10] Im trying to make sound work [01:10] kerneloops_: Means you need to add that user to audio group. [01:10] critical_max: thanks, is there any way to interface it with the volume slider? [01:10] Polah, which reduces the whole thing, I did not think that far, sorry for my lazyness and stealing your time, Polah [01:10] kerneloops_: vim /etc/group [01:11] I cant find the file at /etc/radvd.conf [01:11] i have just install radvd [01:11] kerneloops_: And then log out and back in so that the new permissions take effect. [01:11] automatrix, not a problem I have plenty to spare. [01:11] MrBushido, I see what you mean and it doesn't look like there is an equivalent built in. [01:11] Hello, can someone help me with files on Ubuntu? [01:11] terry_: now what do I do? [01:12] terry_: it shows audio:x:29:pulse [01:12] !question > helios [01:12] helios, please see my private message [01:12] kerneloops_: Change to audio:x:29:pulse,kerneloops [01:12] Polah, nice to know, it's about tme re-invest myself in ubuntu, having been a bit more 'user' than installator and student these lasts months [01:12] critical_max: well tyvm anyhow <3 [01:12] terry_: :p [01:12] does ubuntu has scheduler? [01:12] MrBushido, sure thing, perhaps Unity will feature what you want! [01:12] i want to have something to schedule to run something === bradland_ is now known as bradland [01:13] i cant find the file radvd.conf in /etc/ [01:13] !cron | Phong_ [01:13] Phong_: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [01:13] can anyone assist on wifi? [01:13] terry_: how do I logout in a ssh connection? lol [01:13] PaPaYa: find /etc/ -name radvd.conf [01:13] is there a channel for the ppc port of ubuntu? [01:13] terry_, is there a GUI for cron built into Ubuntu? I just looked and didn't see one, I must be missing it. [01:13] I mean logout in the server? [01:13] Oh wow netbook remix doesn't have aptitude [01:13] Can anyone assit me on changing the names of files in the usr directory? [01:14] kerneloops_: You can't. But you could reboot it. [01:14] terry_, lol, is there a GUI verson? [01:14] critical_max: no [01:14] ok terry_ [01:14] helios: don't mess with things in /usr [01:14] ohzie: aptitude is not a part of the 10.10 anymore [01:14] helios: What are you actually trying to accomplish? You shouldn't be changing anything in /usr by hand except /usr/local [01:14] helios: and even then you should know what and why you are changing, and it was something you installed yourself [01:14] itaylor57: :| Oh. What replaced it? [01:15] ohzie: you have to install it [01:15] critical_max: Phong_ Open a gui terminal and issue command: crontab -e [01:15] No, I'm trying to change a file name in another directory. [01:15] anyone know why the thumb forward and backward on a Logitech MX aren't mappable or even show up as button events in xev in Maverick? [01:15] * ohzie squints at irssi. [01:15] Can someone please help?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713147 Thanks! [01:15] it's technical fix for a game called Eternal Lands [01:15] terry_, yeah I always used that. with an "export EDITOR=nano" to make sure vi didn't come up. >:) [01:15] odd, i have aptitude and 10.10 [01:15] helios, so the game is under /usr/local/eternallands or something? [01:16] does mac os x similar to ubuntu? [01:16] HyperShock: then you installed it [01:16] terry_: thanks it worked [01:16] /usr/share/games/EternalLands/ [01:16] hh [01:16] phong: some of the tools in the shell are very similar, that's about it [01:17] i used mac, but not like it [01:17] lordjj: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:17] mac is very complicated [01:17] helios: ok, so link the directions for us please and we can interpret for ubuntu.. [01:17] * automatrix wishes you a good night, day, morning afternoon, wherever you are, and thanks for the help [01:17] is ubunut most popular then any os ? [01:17] Phong_: Pretty much. [01:17] Phong_: no, Microsoft Windows is the most popular OS. [01:18] "Looks like you graphics card thinks it supports shaders but it doesn't like EL's. Either recompile the client with "FEATURES += USE_SHADER" commented out in make.defaults (put a "#" at the start of the line), or rename the shaders directory "/usr/share/games/EternalLands/shaders/" so they can't load. [01:18] This has come up a couple of times recently, may be we should put a simple override option in the config settings..... " [01:18] rww: I don't know if it is most popular. It's most used but... ;-) [01:18] i am trying to install a driver or something that will allow me to use the Logitech Dual Action controller [01:18] find: `/etc/radvd.conf': No such file or directory [01:18] will WINE run most of windows apps? [01:18] terry: this will delete that file? And that's all I need? [01:18] Ok helios, that makes more sense. Do this first and show me in Pastebin: "ls -l /usr/share/games/EternalLands" [01:19] lordjj: prolly so. or you can just rename it if you want. mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [01:19] lordjj: Or something like that. [01:19] Ok [01:19] hi, I was wondering what is nearest program to ConvertX to DVD for ubuntu? [01:19] Phong_: check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for a list of what it can or can not do atm. [01:20] terry_ : thanks, will try that. [01:20] Phong_: in my experience, most apps run, but not very well [01:20] I g2g [01:20] lordjj: Gud luk. [01:20] Ill be back later [01:20] Phong_, http://appdb.winehq.org/ for WINE compatibility info [01:20] well...would can ubuntu do? [01:20] lol [01:20] i'm windows person [01:21] Phong_, check that link I gave and it will tell you for every app. [01:21] Phong_, what on Windows will you think that you will be missing on Ubuntu? [01:21] i'm checking [01:21] HyperShock beat me to it, I see. :) [01:21] !vb | Phong_ [01:21] HyperShock, missing alot... [01:21] Itunes :) [01:22] or 90% of today's top games. [01:22] windows has probably more apps then ubuntu [01:22] sorry, 99%. [01:22] can i use radvd in ubuntu to setup a DHCPv6 server? [01:22] also, optimus. [01:22] which is the future of laptops [01:22] that's missing. [01:22] brb [01:22] !ot [01:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:25] !virtualbox | Phong_ [01:25] Phong_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [01:25] Where does the default PDF printer print to? What directory [01:25] terry_, why do i need virtualbox? [01:26] Guys in these day my ubuntu are darken so often what can cause the sudden freezes do you have any claims. Recently i just install kde desktop [01:26] terry_, i have vmware workstation :) [01:26] haqe17: why lol? [01:27] !details | Salih-k [01:27] Salih-k: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:27] 32 subdevices [01:27] Phong_: to run windows inside .... ok, well never mind. (But you were asking if wine ran most windows apps, I just wanted to make sure you knew about virtualbox) [01:27] Phong_, virtualbox will allow you to emulate a pc clone inside of your linux os, of which you can install any os on it, probably win xp or vista. then you can have access to all those programs that you will be missing. this will work for most things except the games that use direct(?) stuff. [01:28] Where does the default PDF printer print to? What directory? [01:28] HyperShock, lol, in fact, i'm using ubuntu on vmware under windows 7 :) [01:28] kerneloops_: dunno. [01:28] I am using 10.10 maverick. I just use pidgin at the same time browsering [01:28] SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING SOUND WORKING [01:28] terry_, and HyperShock , my Motherboard support virtualization...is that meant good for vmware? [01:28] kerneloops_, woot [01:28] fr00g: Not sure we understand your question... [01:28] HyperShock, emulate again... it's virtualize <-- not the same thing [01:28] terry_: you are my hero :) [01:28] terry_, i have it enabled in the BIOS [01:28] kerneloops_, was it pulseaudio that solved it? [01:29] Um, what's the output directory? [01:29] And my system is also quite enough to handle such simple burdens [01:29] Phong_: vt-x ? yes is fine for vbox [01:29] kerneloops_: Thank you.... :) [01:29] terry_: im gonna pulseaudio to see if it keeps playing without it [01:29] DasEi, i said i have motherboard support virtualization ..and i did enabled it...meant good right? [01:30] yes, phong [01:30] terry_: what is your bet? [01:30] remove pulseaudio* sorry [01:30] fr00g: it places the file in your home directory: ~/output.pdf [01:31] fr00g: ls -ltr [01:32] can anyone tell me what ubuntu good about....like what have you use it for? [01:32] fr00g: my cups-pdf has been placing the documents ~/pdf/ [01:32] i'm in the learning process.. [01:32] Phong_: It would be a lot easier to tell what we don't use it for. [01:33] terry_, the only one thingk i knew is, it can't play games. [01:33] most games are for windows. [01:33] Phong_: Why can't you play games?

[01:33] sorry ot [01:33] lol [01:33] brb then [01:33] if i try to install a LAMP package with apache and php already installd is it gunna bug out [01:33] Phong_: Oh... well, you could have fooled me. [01:34] Phong_, I use it for Business such as creating Spreadsheets, Documents, Invoices, Surfing the Internet, Watching HULU.com, p2p, playing flash based games, some online games, offline games, web design, etc. Only I don't worry about getting infected, only have to worry about hackers. ;) [01:34] no virii? [01:34] Phong_: No virii [01:34] well, i dont have virii on my pc too [01:34] yes, no virii, no malware, no spybots [01:35] i dont do weird stuff. so no virii for pc as well for me. [01:35] it does seem to attract trolls though [01:35] Phong_: Do you run anti-virus software on your MS Windows OS? [01:35] yeah but you have to waste valuable cpu resources on protection software. [01:35] nope [01:35] it's slow down pc [01:35] i never use AV at all [01:35] do you frequently scan with malwarebytes, or some other tool? [01:35] none [01:35] i dont need it. cause i dont install weirds apps [01:35] Phong_: Oh, well, you are very lucky. How long has the OS been up and running (and connected to the internet)? And do you use it much? [01:36] you need to call the Guiness Book of World Records and register yourself. [01:36] i've used it alot...everydays === christian is now known as Guest32372 [01:36] or you are already rooted/backdoored and don't know about it :( [01:36] never have a malware or virii ever. [01:36] terry_: ok no pulseaudio no sound [01:36] :x [01:36] * HyperShock agrees with dfh, he has no idea what he has doesn't even check for the stuff. [01:37] HyperShock, seriously, how can you get infected if you don't do anything weird. [01:37] if i install the lamp package with apache2 and php5 already installed, is it gunna bug out? [01:37] Phong_: Keep using it then. And keep up the optomism, you're doing a very good job of convincing yourself that you have a secure platform. (Don't think any of the others are all that convinced. I'm sure not.) [01:37] I know better [01:37] Phong: do you know what cookies are? [01:38] Phong_, drive by downloads even legit sites get hijacked, browsing with IE, vulnerable flash, java, pdf is all it takes [01:38] really [01:38] LittleRed: Might as well drop it. We have saddled a dead horse.

[01:39] please don't feed the troll guys [01:39] stop saying troll [01:39] god darm it [01:39] don't do it because we don't agree with you, try what I suggested first. [01:39] i'm serious [01:39] terry_: mac used to be "virus free" until it got big ;) [01:39] th0r: yeah...

[01:41] what's a good way to record my voice on a microphone to an mp3 in ubuntu? [01:41] the "malware" on OS x still asks for the admin password after you clicked on it... [01:41] how do I disable auto spin down of my usb 1tb drive in ubuntu maverick [01:42] infid: Audacity :D [01:42] Audacity agreed [01:42] thanks [01:42] infid: ask me if you have questions after installing it. make sure recording options are set with the input device you want. turn your sliders down before hitting record. way down. [01:43] ok [01:43] infid: stop by the sound controls too in the tray, make sure the mic is on and up [01:43] the audacity of hop [01:43] e [01:43] i'm trying to setup ssl on apache. i keep getting this error "[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `www.blahblah.com' does NOT match server name!?" is this specific to the apache config or is it an issue with a cert? [01:43] dfh: a virus is defined as a self replicating thing, hoaxes are passed between users and are classed as viruses [01:43] I found this about max http://www.spamlaws.com/mac-virus.html 2008 is the date. The only reason I think it even happened at all is because of the closed source nature of everything OS X and iWhatever. [01:43] amh345: that's because your server name doesn't match, it's in the apache config [01:44] amh345: make it match the cert on the server side [01:44] x_:check man hdparm (carefully) [01:45] when will firefox 4 be available for ubuntu 9.10 (still supported until April) [01:45] !ff4 [01:45] 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 [01:46] ActionParsnip, so Microsoft word documents and the like would be "hoaxes"? [01:46] critical_max: oh. ok. i added ServerName www.blah.com and it got rid of the error. now it appears to just be hanging on connecting to www.blah.com [01:46] DasEi, says apm level not supported. [01:46] ActionParsnip: do I need all the pulseaudio packages or just pulseaudio-utils? [01:46] thanks ubottu, where are you from? [01:47] LOL [01:47] amh345: try adding www.blah.com to /etc/hosts [01:47] amh345, Excellent, now you can start watching "tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log" and access.log on the server. [01:47] charlesno, ask it ASL. LOL [01:47] amh345, yeah check that dns is resolving at all [01:47] HyperShock: http://antivirus.about.com/od/macintoshresource/p/oompa.htm [01:47] x_:might get unlucky with that model then, maybe try a tool from the manufacturer under wine if no linux one there [01:47] critical_max: dns is definitely resolving. it's working on port 80 [01:47] !whatareyou | charlesno [01:47] ActionParsnip, I'm aware of that. My point was the only malware that is risky for users of OS X right now are trojans distributed on p2p (keygens, cracks for Office, iWork etc), they are non-replicating [01:48] amh345, to the error logs then [01:48] x_smartmontools another way [01:48] !info smartmontools [01:48] smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T..

[01:50] what are the odds I will encounter problems in upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10? are problems common? that is what is holding me back from upgrading to the newer versions. my laptop is also not very advanced [01:50] kerneloops_, try sudo alsa-utils reset [01:51] amh345, sudo apachectl configtest? [01:51] critical_max: that returns Syntax OK [01:52] charlesno: To guarantee a smooth transition, backup your files and install fresh from a live session [01:52] charlesno, uh, eh, well, the only problem i had on occasions was sound knocking out and a simpling using alsa-utils to unmute channels fixed that and another time my broadcom wireless went to bye bye land and so i hand to hardwire to the router to reinstall the driver. [01:52] charlesno, please read "upgrading" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes for details for your situation [01:52] hi [01:52] hey i need help with ffmepg how do i know if i am getting the one from the mediubuntu repository aka the unrestricted one or not [01:52] any1 knows any ftp client that supports FTPES other than filezilla?

[01:54] charlesno: can't be predicted , just do it, if problems, detail and ask then (was disconnected a sec) [01:54] yes but ffmpeg is handicapped on certain formats unless downloaded from the mediubuntu repository [01:54] is this correct [01:54] DasEi: well a few issues can be predicted for example "Intel 8xx X freezes/crashes" from the link I gave [01:54] tbruff13: if medibuntu repo is enabled, itt will come from there [01:55] hey guys when i close my laptop lid then reopen it, my touchpad goes crazy the mouse flies around the screen and does right and left click, and takes a few seconds to 5 minutes sometimes i have to shut down and reboot the hard way just to make it stop, how do i fix this?

[01:56] I like in natty nawhal how pressing the windows key brings up the search field from unity; Guessing that this pretty much makes gnome-do redundent [01:56] amh345, reason i ask is the next step i'd take is comparing it to a working config side by side. there can be a lot of idiosyncracies with different people's apache configs. So if you have another on that server, it could be instructive to compare them... [01:56] I think I want to stay on 9.10 for a few more months until I am finished with classes and can afford an external harddrive [01:56] hello [01:56] hello tbruff13 [01:56] critical_max: this is my first ssl on this server. i found that my firewall wasnt open to 443. now it is and it's hitting the site. of course im getting another error. [01:56] charlesno: if it works don't fix it [01:57] charlesno: go to 10.04 least as it's lts, support for is mostly assuming current release [01:57] amh345, good, that one should be in error.log :) [01:57] !LTS [01:57] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

The default should be sane to start X [02:00] DasEi the xorg.conf was empty before i edited it [02:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/585147/ that pastebin says the repository is coming from the wrong source why? [02:00] DasEi: come again? what do you mean? [02:00] tbruff13, what are you trying to do? apt-cache just says it's not installed from apt. [02:00] soreau whats the command for delete? [02:00] astley: How does the controller connect? [02:00] rwe : yes, ctrl+alt+F1 > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo service gdm restart , or delete it just from the commandline, then restart gdm [02:00] rwe: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:00] DasEi: usb [02:00] tyty [02:00] are there any code::blocks masters in this channel?

Version 0.9.9-2 (maverick), package size 151 kB, installed size 880 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 arm armel) [02:20] DasEi: hehe ksplice is too advanced for me [02:20] ksplice is wicked! :O [02:20] critical_max, yes [02:20] so ill try it [02:21] is that even possible [02:21] O.O [02:21] (BOW) hay all [02:21] it is now, apparently [02:21] #ubuntu-dk-snak [02:21] anyone using ksplice here? it's always getting mentioned but I have yet to see a single user [02:21] critical_max: my doubt is .. does it have the same effect as rebooting [02:21] critical_max, should i donwload winff from repository or website [02:22] kerneloops_: You can even swap the entire kernel without rebooting [02:22] kerneloops_: yes works, I have it on two machines for over a year now [02:22] kerneloops_, I'm sure the ksplice docs address that in detail. [02:22] tbruff13, general advice is repo unless upstream (website/whatever) has a feature you MUST have [02:22] kerneloops_: kexec I think it's called [02:23] link for guide [02:23] ? [02:23] kerneloops_: Here's the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec [02:23] critical_max, but they have there own repository so ill use it for now [02:23] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnj3ilPCqc [02:24] tbruff13, using their repo is also better than a tarball or deb from the website, yes. [02:24] critical_max, thank you can i ask one more question sorry [02:24] DasEi, so there's really no reason to reboot a Linux server at all now huh, except for testing recovery from UPS failure? [02:25] is ntfs-3g built into ubuntu? [02:25] tbruff13, of course [02:25] wow Ksplice won a contest [02:25] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhbRyLATEPo&feature=related [02:25] critical_max: right, as most services can be restarted instead, if needed [02:25] no--name: yes [02:26] ok [02:26] critical_max, do you know of any program other than the one that came with ubuntu and unetbootin to create live usbs i want something that boots like unetbootin but has persistance [02:26] ping [02:26] DasEi: I had some very silly long uptimes on Etch systems. I don't like rebooting. I will check out Ksplice. [02:26] tbruff13: You can just install to a usb from a live cd [02:26] so ntfs-3g is what handles NTFS drives by default? (you don't have to use some special option)? [02:26] ping me [02:27] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI: pong [02:27] soreau, i dont want to use the slow defult client [02:27] tbruff13, try just installing ubuntu to a usb stick then. [02:27] tbruff13: What do you mean? [02:27] soreau said it first. :) [02:27] Ksplice explantion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a22T27rU4b0 :) [02:27] critical_max: win ;) [02:27] yeah use USB installer [02:28] TrueCrypt that sucker while you're at it. [02:28] critical_max: Hmm, probably not a bad idea... [02:28] soreau, the startup disk creator is too slow at booting so i want to try another program [02:28] i want to install to a usb stick this is why i want the other program [02:28] tbruff13, you can install to a usb stick with the regular installer cd [02:28] just choose it as the destination [02:29] tbruff13: Just boot a live cd, insert the usb and partition it as you would any other drive [02:29] of course your BIOS must be configured to boot from USB [02:29] how [02:29] DasEi: is ksplice easy to use ? [02:29] !test [02:29] You're testing my patience! [02:29] lol [02:29] tbruff13, getting into bios varies widely, google your make and model of computer + "bios" [02:29] ip addr show [02:29] will show my local ip right [02:29] !test [02:29] or press F9 or F12 depend on ur PC [02:30] i know how to use bios [02:30] kerneloops_: relatively, too long ago to remember details, but was not more then an hour or so [02:30] tbruff13, once inside you are looking for 'boot priority' or similar, put usb somewhere before hard drive [02:30] tbruff13: When you go to install from cd, just choose manual partitioning and select the usb device node, /dev/sdc or whatever in the partitioner [02:30] does anyone know anything about making bots, im getting frustrated lol [02:30] oh [02:30] and do what soreau said with the cd installer. [02:30] rc.pl [02:30] gervais: state your specific subtask and i can try to help [02:30] oh wow treat my usb as a seprate laptop wow awesome [02:31] tbruff13: it's just another hard drive to the pc [02:31] tbruff13: size of usb ? [02:31] is 8 gigs enough [02:31] tbruff13: a portable, mobile drive [02:31] yes [02:31] 8 G is fine, tbruff13 [02:31] tbruff13: It would work on as low as 2GB and even much less for some distros [02:32] critical_max, and soreau question i have gotten ubuntu to work at school but i cant get it to connect to the internet i know the password im just having issues it has an all windows and apple laptops on it [02:32] depends, live install = 1gb, but persistant, I's prefer least 4g [02:32] I's* [02:32] I'D [02:32] 8gb for desktop [02:32] tbruff13, that will depend heavily on your school, talk to the IT people there. every single setup is different [02:32] preference [02:32] Im having trouble with the basics of creating a bot for irc chat, any help would be awesome. [02:33] critical_max++ [02:33] well it works just link my internet at home will simba help [02:33] gervais: wrong channel here, ask in #freenode [02:33] ok thanks [02:33] hmm [02:33] how to get time from terminal? [02:33] so [02:33] i have my apache setup [02:33] join #freenode [02:33] oops [02:33] i can connect to it via localhost [02:33] time [02:33] kerneloops_: date [02:33] kerneloops_,, date [02:33] oops [02:33] ty [02:33] however my friends cant connect to my ip [02:34] even tho i fwded the ports on my router to this machine [02:34] is there something i did wrong? [02:34] b1lly: registered dns ? [02:34] Where are all the programs located (the "program files" of linux)??? [02:34] critical_max, will simba help [02:34] i need a registered dns for them to connect to my IP ADDRESS? [02:34] jokk: /usr/bin mainly [02:34] kerneloops_: date +%r [02:35] tbruff13, I don't know what that is. Like I said your best bet is to talk to the IT guys there. I used to deal with school networks in my job and believe me it's a nightmare I don't want to revisit. [02:35] !FHS |jokk [02:35] jokk: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [02:35] WIne is messed up and I need to ttoally delete it [02:35] tbruff13, most school networks are locked down 6 different ways [02:35] jokk: rm -rf ~/.wine [02:35] b1lly: your server, more comfortable than ip by name, needs it, until you have a static ip [02:35] jokk: Then restart and reconfigure it [02:36] DasEi: i do have a static ip tho [02:36] oh I see [02:36] critical_max, ok people bring there windows computers from home and connect why can linux connect on school computer [02:36] I type that in command soreau ? [02:36] tbruff13, I don't know, it varies by every single school, ask your IT guys [02:36] b1lly: pm me ? [02:36] maybe i didnt set up my vhost config file right? [02:36] critical_max, i dont know any suddenlink handles our network [02:36] jokk: 'rm -rf ~/.wine' will delete the wine configuration directory from your home folder, effectively resetting it to default [02:37] tbruff13, there is no limit to the arcane and stupid restrictions placed on school networks. I cannot speculate or help, sorry. [02:37] critical_max: xD [02:37] ok i get it to work but can you tell does a linux computer look different to a network than a windows one [02:37] tbruff13, yes [02:37] When do updates get added to the Ubuntu default repositories? For example, the version of LyX in the repo is 1.6.7, but there have been releases 1.6.9 and 2.0.0rc1 [02:37] soreau: the problem is no progrms are running in wine [02:37] how [02:37] soreau: its likely corrupted [02:38] soreau: maybe even a virus [02:38] critical_max, how [02:38] sorry [02:38] jokk: So remove that directory and try again [02:38] trbruff13, you shouldn't be having problems with suddenlink, i'm on their network now. [02:38] jokk: If it still doesn't work, ask in #winehq [02:38] tbruff13, it's complicated. play with "zenmap" on your own network and you will see exactly how, very easily [02:38] ! wine | jokk [02:38] jokk: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:38] okay how do i get zenmap [02:38] !info zenmap [02:38] zenmap (source: nmap): The Network Mapper Front End. In component universe, is extra. Version 5.21-1~build1 (maverick), package size 662 kB, installed size 2400 kB [02:38] soreau: is the wine directory in the BIN? [02:39] tbruff13: your package manager, with universe repo enabled [02:39] jokk: what? [02:39] soreau: where do I delete the wine directory [02:39] Dayspring [02:39] jokk, the directory is in /home/jokk/.wine [02:39] jokk: You mean where do you run that command? In your terminal.. [02:39] hehe [02:40] jokk, press crtl H to see .wine [02:40] Hello all [02:40] soreau: no meant where can I manually delete the folder ...windows style :) [02:40] Hello Jopse [02:40] Jose [02:40] jokk: Nautilus. Places>Home then Ctrl+H and shift+delete it [02:40] tbruff13, http://nmap.org/book/osdetect.html [02:40] I want the fastcgi worker process for my website to start on boot, but it seems like an initscript is too heavy duty for the job [02:40] what should I use? [02:40] I think cron has an @boot magic keyword, perhaps [02:40] joseAway: could use /etc/rc.local [02:41] gusg, what version of ubuntu are you on? [02:41] joseAway: or @boot as you say, with cron [02:41] critical_max: 10.10 [02:42] ActionParsnip: okay, just wondered if that was an uncommon use case for cron. It does seem like the best, since different user accounts will be need to run their own stuff on-boot [02:42] gusg: the short answer is 'it depends'. but in general if you are not on an LTS release (like 10.04) then you have a good chance of getting those kind of updates eventually. It really depends on the specific package maintainer for Ubuntu (and/or Debian) [02:42] critical_max thanks for the explanation [02:42] How do I search for a file in all files and folders? [02:43] using termina [02:43] l [02:43] kerneloops_: locate filename [02:43] What's a good program to resize multiple jpg images on the fly? [02:43] gusg: feature upgrades to packages do get included, but you'll need to check activity for the specific project you're interested in. sometimes googling for your ubuntu release + project name will turn up discussion of hurdles. [02:43] gusg: for an LTS you'd just get bugfix upgrades [02:43] critical_max, how does it work and how do i run it as root [02:43] there is no .wine [02:43] gusg you're welcome. [02:43] kerneloops_: locate after sudo updatedb (time!) find, ls [02:43] tried locate [02:44] jokk: Then you haven't used wine yet [02:44] soreau: I did [02:44] soreau: I used a few programs [02:44] kerneloops_: initial set database up, but depending on hd takes some time [02:44] tbruff13, yeah you might want to do that "gksudo zenmap". scanning the network requires root privileges for certain functions [02:44] jokk: I guess you have to ask #winehq then [02:44] soreau: then it got corrupted [02:44] jokk open terminal and type: cd; ls .wine [02:44] ok [02:44] critical_max, can this scan for ipods on a network my principal wants a list and can this program do that [02:45] dfh: dosdevices drive_c system.reg userdef.reg user.reg [02:45] tbruff13, you're doing free IT work for your principal? :O umm yeah it could. [02:45] so it's there, now type: rm -r .wine [02:45] critical_max : where do u come from? [02:46] tbruff13, zenmap sees all except what doesn't want to be seen. [02:46] dfh: it just goes to another line [02:46] in the command dfh [02:46] jokk, that was to be expected, you just deleted the folder ;) [02:46] critical_max, how do i do that i dont know how to use the program [02:46] tbruff13, might want to search for a how-to [02:46] it's complicated. [02:46] jokk, now try running those exes in wine again [02:46] critical_max, but now i need to learn fast he has been on my butt for days [02:46] dfh: I still see everything in the startup menu [02:47] What's a good program to resize multiple jpg images on the fly? [02:47] Hi all, I am using Maverick and just started having a problem with my mouse. I can pick a window and then use it fine, but cannot click outside it to switch windows or even use the close/minimise buttons on the current window. What could be causing this? [02:47] dfh: nothing shows up [02:47] dfh: but it was doing this before [02:47] tbruff13, Well now you have the tool for the job. :) [02:48] hello [02:48] jokk, no wine expert sorry, the "startup menu" should be fixed by logging out and back in again [02:48] Seems like right clicking in the current window releases the mouse, but it just gets stuck again in a new window [02:48] hmmm lemme try dfh [02:48] I need some help if anyone is willing [02:49] !ask |T_N_T [02:49] T_N_T: 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. :-) [02:50] ok, so I haven't run linux since slunix .. man what a difference. I loaded up ubuntu 10.10 and then put macbuntu on top of it... Amazing ! what a diference 15 years makes [02:50] someone has been sniffing around in my network, "Lan access from remote" and they tried to log into the wlan but they got the password incorrect [02:50] I also cannot Alt-Tab to change windows [02:50] it looks like they are port scanning the various computers that are on the network to find an open port [02:50] all I can see is the mac address of the intruder [02:50] Do you get an option to blacklist? [02:50] Rickta59, wow 15 years!! no kidding... welcome back. [02:51] thanks critical_max [02:51] T_N_T, are there any open ports you worry about? [02:51] critical_max: 15 years since what? [02:51] well UPNP is enable because of the Xbox 360 [02:51] critical_max : what's the best external network tools for maverick? [02:51] soreau, since Rickta59 used linux [02:51] since the last time I was running linux as my regular desktop [02:51] thats all I know about dfh [02:51] critical_max: Oh right, what a difference today makes ;) [02:51] gentoo all the way [02:52] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, tools for what purpose? [02:52] Does anyone use banshee to sync music? [02:52] T_N_T, UPNP implies you are behind a router, where are they scanning you - within the network or are they scanning the router? [02:52] critical_max : for port scan, netstat, etc [02:53] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, what is your goal? if you're monitoring, you should be using a monitoring package like Nagios or (pick your favorite) [02:53] T_N_T, sudo netstat -antup will tell you what's listening on what ports [02:53] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, mon is a nice simpler monitor [02:53] critical_max : monitoring n defense from intrudder [02:55] critical_max : is nagios a package from ubuntu or external appl [02:55] !netsplit [02:55] what just happened? [02:55] ^^ ??? [02:55] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, IDS, snort, nmap, wireshark, fail2ban? [02:55] critical_max : is nagios a package from ubuntu or external appl [02:55] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, I have had great experience with "mon" (simple) and "Nagios" (complex) for monitoring. if you want to poke your systems for holes start with nmap [02:55] LOL all the bot drop [02:55] !netsplit | ray24 [02:55] ray24: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [02:56] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, nagios is an external package. "mon" has a much much lower learning curve, for what it's worth. [02:56] critical_max : could u give me a link for that? [02:56] oOOIiIiI_UTD_IiI, and there are probably other options that i'm not considering [02:56] *definitely [02:56] first hit in google. [02:56] ok then [02:56] i'd better looking on google [02:57] it's a major software ... :) will have no trouble with docs and support.

[03:19] after a few attempts to do anything the whole screen goes black..no text nothing and I have to shut down [03:19] because I have a new Sony VAIO laptop the version 10.10 doesn't have the driver for the Nvidia and the wireless card. I believe the new version will. [03:20] It just returns to the $ prompt soreau [03:20] <[1]Jake> Which nvidia video card are you running?

[03:22] yes : so you can chroot from live cd and also check the hd's syslog for additinal infos, from live do an update/GRADE FROM CHROOT [03:23] its Ubuntu netbook 10.10 [03:23] Sorry for that guys [03:23] therefore mine is a newer version [03:23] XubuntuKris: That is normal output. If ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep shows output, it means compiz is running [03:23] <[1]Jake> etzerd: Last I heard the 11.04 ran my card fine so maybe yours will work too. If not watch Nvidia and if they get it working then you may just have to do a binary install. [03:24] hopefully version 11.4 will [03:24] soreau: well, now all my open windows look messed up... [03:24] thanks [03:24] I don't know what it did.... [03:25] <[1]Jake> niccoli: Are both of the computer mice using usb? [03:25] How can i find the native resolution for my monitor? [03:25] [1]Jake, No, both mice are PS/2 [03:25] Any luck? [03:25] Okay, soreau, ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep is showing output now...it wasn't before. [03:26] XubuntuKris: Now try cube and other effects [03:26] <[1]Jake> niccoli: Ok now that is a wierd one then. I have only one trackball and it has worked with fedora and ubuntu flawlessly. [03:27] They work soreau [03:27] reedy [03:27] the_core: I'm not too familiar with nb-edition and it will bedropped , too.. maybe try an lubuntu or xubuntu install with alternate cd on it ?

[03:27] XubuntuKris: great [03:28] <[1]Jake> niccoli: You might get lucky and there is some special driver you need for linux. Have you checked the manufacturers website? [03:28] Now compiz won't close though soreau [03:28] well I installed it over windows lol so I have to do something [03:28] nvm, it closed now. [03:28] XubuntuKris: You dont want your window manager to cease running because then nothing will be managing your windows! [03:28] XubuntuKris: for compiz some graphics power and ram is needed, and also the card must have 3d cabable drivers [03:29] I mean the forground User Interface soreau [03:29] [1]Jake, I haven't, but I'm doubtful that an old compaq mouse would have a linux driver. [03:29] <[1]Jake> niccoli: Back when I used unix we had to get drivers for the dummest things sometimes. [03:29] is my problem due to not being able to connect to net? [03:29] missing drivers perhaps [03:29] [1]Jake, so just check the website? [03:30] <[1]Jake> I know linux it very different because well most the crap I used to work on unix doesn't work here. lol [03:30] the_core: When you boot, what happens exactly? [03:30] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-B00yMx54.png [03:30] the_core: idk what is wrong, my idea would be to connect via live cd, then chroot into the hd and try an upgrade [03:30] I get the terminal screen asking me for my log in,then password [03:30] brb [03:30] <[1]Jake> Well if it is an old compaq mouse i doubt you will find anything [03:30] wesley: What version of ubuntu are you running?

[03:33] wesley: (you have to install mesa-utils first) [03:33] linux ftw [03:33] kerneloops_: yep [03:34] anyone know (or can point me in the right direction) about problems with networkmanager not reconnecting after sleep? EG: computer sleep with lan plugged in, when awake the lan no longer reconnects.. [03:34] <[1]Jake> On a similar note. Has anyone here gotten the multi-touch IR screens working using the ps2 camera on Linux [03:35] "best" way to shutdown is sudo poweroff? [03:35] soreau: is says that the program glxinfo is currently not installed [03:35] Okay, so a few things went wrong when I used that second compiz command you gave me soreau....things like my minimize maximize and close buttons on windows went big and white and my borders are messed up, and compiz won't work right.. [03:35] Hey guys. I recently got ubuntu on my hp laptop, however Im having a problem connecting to the Internet apperently because my firmware is missing. i dont doubt that you can get new firmware using the terminal I just dont know how. If anyone could help id greatly appreciate it and sorry for the length :3 [03:35] machine is old [03:35] How can i find the native resolution for my monitor? [03:35] I don't know how else to describe it. [03:35] on the box [03:35] wesley: and it tells you exactly how to install it [03:35] soreau: ok ill install [03:36] <[1]Jake> jrmcm: What is the model of your monitor [03:36] XubuntuKris: second compiz command? [03:36] kerneloops_: poweroff, halt, init 0, they all work fine. [03:36] Jake: Toshiba Sattelite a 505 [03:36] kerneloops_: shutdown -h now [03:36] I don't remember what it was, but it ended in "disown" or something like that soreau [03:36] -h = hurt [03:36] XubuntuKris: compiz --replace & disown [03:36] the computer keeps turned on hehe but the system shuts down [03:37] soreau: yes, that one [03:37] mrdeb: In this context, it stands for halt [03:37] ok soreau [03:37] XubuntuKris: It should start a decorator.. try compiz --replace & gtk-window-decorator --replace & disown [03:37] what is the diffee from shutdown -h now and halt? [03:37] no [03:38] mrdeb: For the sake of this channel, there is none [03:38] soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS690 791F0 20090101 NO-TCL DRI2 [03:39] <[1]Jake> jrmcm: One moment please [03:39] howdy ya'll, got a question [03:39] anyone know how to install/run Second life on 10.04 LTS? [03:39] Will that fix my theme issues and compiz opening it's "advanced search" on it's own about ten seconds after I open compiz soreau? [03:39] wesley: Ok, Im going to recommend you upgrade your driver stack with xorg-edgers repo because you are seeing corruption [03:39] what does that mean [03:40] zz [03:40] soreau: ok so how do i do that [03:40] wesley: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:41] how do you install .tar.bz2 files?

[03:41] lol [03:41] ! compile | lordcrusader [03:41] lordcrusader: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:41] lordcrusader: it's probably a source package. You gotta unzip it with archive manager (or tar, if you are adventurous) [03:42] gotta speak in lamens terms as well please [03:42] kj [03:42] lordcrusader: and follow the instructions above ;) [03:42] help. some youtube videos don't seem to work [03:42] I have, but I get a "windows creation error" [03:42] I'm running a Radeon ... 9600 I believe is the number........ is that an alright card? And or could be the problem? [03:42] <[1]Jake> jrmcm: Toshiba user guide says your resolution should be 1366x768 [03:43] the 9600 is a good card [03:43] lordcrusader: I have that card.. its decent, especially with the new gallium drivers default in 11.04 [03:43] well Ubuntu just started and seems ok but no connection [03:43] sdf [03:43] soreau, it didn't change anything. [03:43] hahahhh [03:43] through some of the readings though I believe this game is ment for Nvidia cards.......... would it make that much of a difference? [03:43] soreau: what are the gallium drivers? open ati drivers? [03:43] oi [03:44] mrdeb: Yes [03:44] [1]Jake: alright, thx, I was actually wondering if there was a way to find it through ubuntu [03:44] sok tahu [03:44] I was told that using aptitude is better than using apt-get. Is there any place I can learn more about using aptitude? For example, what does the "{a}" mean after a program when I am installing it? [03:44] but knowing is good enough. :) [03:44] soreau: what is the performance hit in percentage when using hte gallium driver vs ati's [03:44] mrdeb: Actually, gallium is new code in mesa. The classic mesa driver is currently default [03:45] any ideas on how I could possibly fix the "windows creation error"? and or exactly what it could be meaning? [03:45] mrdeb: You dont compare fglrx because it doesnt support older cards [03:45] <[1]Jake> Not a ubuntu expert. My latest machines don't have drivers supported by linux yet so. :( [03:45] I cannot connect to my wireless:( [03:45] mrdeb: Its classic mesa vs gallium. Means opengl 1.5 vs opengl 2.1 [03:45] what about radeon 3850 card [03:45] what is the difference there [03:45] the_5th_wheel: why not? [03:46] !my | student-22 [03:46] student-22: bantuan bahasa melayu? sila join #ubuntu-my [03:46] mrdeb: fglrx is faster but doesnt support kms which allows the open drivers to have advanced features [03:46] how much faster [03:46] [1]Jake: well dang that sucks :( definetly [03:46] i have to know how much. half , third, 10 percent [03:46] mrdeb: do your own tests. r600g is being heavily developed [03:46] mrdeb: or ask in #radeon [03:46] hasnt anyone tested it [03:47] i want to know before installign the card [03:47] mrdeb: #radeon [03:47] <[1]Jake> jrmcm: Sucks to be me. I just got a Vostro 3700 with 2 gb video 4 gig ram a quad 2.67 and I cna't even use the damn thing for my linux. [03:47] ok [03:47] [1]Jake: Just wait itll happen eventually [03:48] mrdeb: The thing is, open drivers are getting faster all the time, while fglrx is just basically a bunch of the code they use on windoze [03:48] <[1]Jake> jrmcm: April 28th I am hoping it will work on the new release [03:48] So what can I do to fix my theme soreau? [03:48] soreau: i want something that doesnt suck. the nvidia nouveau driver sucks compared to nvidia's. it's 10 percent [03:48] XubuntuKris: Sorry, I thought cube was working? [03:49] soreau: cube is working, but the visuals of my theme are now screwed up. [03:50] <[1]Jake> Guess nobody answered my ? about homemade ir multi-touch systems. [03:50] how do you enable the cube [03:50] !compiz | mrdeb [03:50] mrdeb: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [03:50] can someone help me get connected to my net again,windows worked fine with my wireless but Ubuntu ,no connection [03:50] mrdeb: Yea, but the thing is, AMD bought ATI, dropped the ATI name in favor of Radeon opened even more hardware specifications and hired kernel developers to work full time on the open driver. Nvidia on the other hand does not release any hardware specs so nouveau must be painstakingly reverse engineered [03:51] What does the {a} mean next to a package name in aptitude? And is it better to use aptitude over apt-get? [03:51] mrdeb: Obviously its much easier to program a decent driver with hardware specs than trying to fish around in the dark [03:51] hey, does anybody know if it's possible to skin rhythymbox? or perhaps suggest a better-looking dark-themed ubuntu media player?

[06:26] red2kic, That is what I remembered but currently apt-mirror in Ubuntu reps is an app for creating a local mirror, which is not what I want. [06:26] red2kic, I am just looking for best practices for updating my sources.list (or ubuntu equivalent) [06:26] how do I install Libre Office [06:26] critical_max: So you want to select a mirror closest to your location? [06:26] red2kic: yes, i have it located already. [06:26] critical_max: Okay. That's it? [06:27] !libreoffice [06:27] Current stable releases of Ubuntu use OpenOffice.org, and do not have supported packaging for LibreOffice.

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-January/032298.html for more information on progress and an unstable, unsupported PPA. [06:27] red2kic: yeah, that's it. about to upgrade to 10.10 and figured this was a good time to get that mirror specified. :) [06:27] thats just retarded because there are debs for it [06:28] The last time I did it I was modifying sources.list directly. [06:28] critical_max: Ah. I always hate major upgrades. I favor clean install over it. It's just my opinion, but yeah. :) [06:28] Well I've had 4 trouble-free upgrades from 8.04 so far. Going to try to keep it going. :) [06:29] I hear ya though. I have had to nuke dotfiles more than once, I guess that's not "trouble free"... [06:30] critical_max: Just leave them alone. I understand that people want to have clean ~/ -- but you probably would be better off just leaving them alone. Heh. [06:30] I'm trying to boot up an ubuntu live USB on a 2001 compaq desktop, won't recognize it on bootup, says "non system disk or disk error" [06:31] how do I get it to recognize it? [06:31] red2kic, yeah I only had to do it because gnome had serious display bugs in panel etc on one of the less stable releases [06:31] 9.04 perhaps [06:31] red2kic, I think the proper way to do what I want is to add the mirror to Other Software Sources and deselect the main repo. [06:31] earthling_: are you sure it's even able to boot off of usb and that error isn't from the built in harddrive? [06:31] slm a [06:31] according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/LocalAptMirrors and other ubuntu docs [06:32] SwedeMike, I'm not sure if it can, but I am able to change the boot order in bios to usb first [06:32] SwedeMike, and there is no hard drive in the machine [06:33] earthling_: and it works in another machine? [06:33] tried it long time ago [06:33] seemed to work iirc [06:34] red2kic, yep! Now after I add that into Custom Software Sources, it doesn't actually appear there but is recognized as a main mirror, and shows up under Ubuntu Software tab under the "Download from:" dropdown. [06:34] Which is sane behavior. [06:34] it is an official mirror after all. [06:34] hey guys, Just wondering, why does the popup menu for the tomboy icon look wrong? [06:34] SwedeMike, are some old computer unable to boot from USB? [06:34] earthling_: can't think of something that might cause it, the error message you get means there isn't a boot block on the USB stick. [06:34] Проверка [06:34] I use 'new wave' gtk theme and the popup menu has a repeating gradient in the background making it just look wrong [06:35] : i'm unable to clone a git repo through terminal [06:35] cuz of some internet problems [06:35] o I manually downladed the ta.gz from firefox [06:35] after going to the github site [06:35] will that be a problem? [06:35] when you clone, you're just downloading the .tar.gz file, or is it more than that? [06:37] saksham: it downloads the latest revisions into a folder in the place where you ran the command, uncompressed [06:37] !ff4 [06:37] 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 [06:38] Sweet, only 23 minutes to download 10.10 from the local mirror. [06:38] with 2800 packages. [06:38] does it also do anything additional? [06:38] oh shite! Sorry guys, I thought I was in the #tomboy channel haha [06:38] stupid xchat ;() [06:39] * ActionParsnip bets ubottu hates firefox4 now [06:39] saksham: it keeps some kind of record about the code so you can update it i think. im not an expert on this... [06:39] * critical_max thinks FF4 has elevated to metaquestion status [06:39] ohk thanks [06:40] SwedeMike, usb works on other computer [06:41] I have loged into my ubuntu OS but also attahced another hard Disk having ubuntu installed. How can I access the root of the otehr hard disk? [06:41] ActionParsnip: only requested 70 or so times thusfar :3 [06:41] earthling_: oki, then I have no idea. In my mind I am considering LBA mode as a culprit, but I don't know enough about it to say if might cause problem. [06:41] perhaps this old comp has usb 1.1 [06:42] I'm using a 3 month old usb drive [06:42] or maybe some computers just don't like to boot from usb [06:43] earthling_: well, if it's in the boot order then it should be fine. How large is the USB drive? trying to remember what size problems came at what point in time, you might want to try a smaller one. Also, burning a CD always works :P [06:43] how to mount a drive? [06:43] !mount [06:43] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [06:43] Hi all, I have been searching online but failed to find a result... I have an ubuntu system setup as a HTPC running xbmc.. I use a lenovo mini wireless keyboard to control the thing.. my problem is the keyboard doesnt have FN keys (F1-F12)... Which means if I want to switch to a virtual terminal I have to pull out the other keyboard.. is there a way to change the key combo that changes to the different TTY's?? [06:43] SwedeMike, 4 gb [06:44] SwedeMike, CD did work, wanted ability to save changes though [06:44] earthling_: I'm out of ideas. [06:45] ok, thanks anyway [06:46] jesmon: you can use xmodmap to set other keys to those functions [06:46] then he'll be left with the keys on the console to change [06:46] jesmon: would a virtual keyboard satisfy your needs? [06:46] it wouldn't :D [06:48] jesmon: chvt may be part of a solution [06:48] it's going to be hackish though [06:48] ooh [06:48] that's a good suggestion actually [06:48] you'd have to bind a key in Ubuntu preferences, to run a script, that when ran runs chvt, which probably requires root, and has been reported to not work with sudo [06:49] i'll mess with it, sec [06:49] i use it regularly yet i forget ! D: [06:49] I set up a keyboard shortcut to run 'chvt 2' and 'sudo chvt 2' - but it doesnt seem to do anything.. [06:49] "sudo chvt 1" just worked for me in a terminal. Passwordless sudo inside a script requires that you configure sudo [06:49] you need to use gksudo, sudo will exit if the controlling thing isn't a tty [06:50] ^ what he said for keyboard shortcut commands [06:50] you can edit your sudo configuration so you can run chvt without a password though [06:50] not sure what the implications are, aside from being able to annoy the console user :D [06:50] haha [06:50] what is the meaning of this mount: /media/mainstorage is not a block device? [06:51] man 5 sudoers [06:51] jesmon, "sudo visudo" and uncomment the line that talks about no password, if you want to test it. if it's a multiuser system you will want to specify things properly, but that's the way to do it. [06:51] taran: show your mount cmd [06:51] ahh gksudo worked! thanks... I will look into how to do it without password (noob!) [06:51] jesmon, you'd also need to be in the sudo group for that to work. [06:51] as mentioned in visudo :) [06:52] jesmon: man 5 suoders :D [06:52] it's useful for giving some sudo out, but not others: letting web developers restart apache on a dev server, but not restart the whole server, etc [06:52] sudoers even, it lets you set user -> command mappings, and what to do with them [06:52] v_v: i tried this sudo mount mainstorage/ /mnt [06:52] excellent.. you guys are awesome! thank you so much! [06:53] taran: the first arg of mount usually is a device [06:53] !mount [06:53] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[07:00] critical_max: thanks. [07:00] always ls it before you rm it. [07:00] taran: ) [07:00] always */* after you rm [07:00] dir [07:01] thanks for the Henry Winston btw [07:01] taran, you could also try just 'sudo chown taran.taran /data/dir' on your data directory on that drive and then not need root privs for it [07:01] chown -R [07:02] critical_max: I am unable to reach to that directory using command line [07:02] critical_max: although I canbrowse it [07:03] taran: why [07:03] sudo cd [07:03] sorry hit that by mistake [07:03] v_v: actually Im new n dont know where to find my directory named mainstorage using command line [07:03] taran: try becoming root to browse to it. "sudo su -" [07:03] taran: where did you mount it ? [07:04] taran: 'mount' and you can see it [07:04] taran: normally you don't have to do that for most tasks, but for being in a directory owned by root, you have to be root. you can "sudo ls" and stay out of the directory to get around that. [07:04] v_v: I dont know where it is mounted.I just attached physically alongside my original HD then slave disk contents become visible [07:05] taran: /media/23984723984723 <--long string of annoying numbers like that [07:06] is there any place I can ask about the fact that my USB wireless card keeps dropping in Ubunut?

[07:14] taran: working? be careful with that Nautilus, close it when you're done. it's just as dangerous as a root terminal [07:14] jiltdil, what [07:14] taran: Yes, just use the regular installer CD and select it as the destination. [07:14] critical_max: actually I wanted to creat space in a folder on slave so mthat I can install fress Ubuntu 10.10 on it [07:15] nit-wit: should i run this sudo dpkg --configure -a [07:15] yes [07:15] critical_max: can I install OS on salve after I creat space on it? wiothout having to boot from slave? [07:16] anyone here tried wayland? [07:16] taran: Yes, just use the regular installer CD and select it as the destination. [07:16] n_ak: some of the offtopic channels would be more suitable for such questions (: [07:16] critical_max: ok.done [07:17] nit-wit:it doesnot work [07:17] did you run both [07:17] oh sorry [07:18] jiltdil, if your getting errors you have to include that information [07:18] I keep getting these broken pipes, when I connect ssh to my screen/irssi box, or when I do a ssh -fND, and tunnel my browser traffic.

My question is, Does the swap memory is physical or logical partition? [07:21] appiuppi: it doesn't matter. [07:21] I wonder if anyone has 2 minutes to help me out a little? (don't want to spam chat) [07:22] SwedeMike: I see. Okay then will chose with the default. [07:22] Mogs: You should ask here, so nobody gives you bad advice like rm -R * or rm -R / [07:22] SwedeMike: choose*. Thank you :) [07:23] Well i'm pretty new to Ubuntu, in fact 2 days, I decided to stick it onto my old laptop (it had xp on) so I dusted it off, but having a couple of problems [07:23] Mogs: State the problems, one on each line, with relevant symptoms, and software version. [07:24] uhh - i'll try, I grabbed Ubuntu 10.10, ISO burnt it onto a disc and put it onto my laptop (it installed fine, seems to run okay with a couple exceptions) [07:25] You'll have to forgive me, i'm not used to using terminals etc. problem(s) is 1, when i start up the computer it takes a good 20 or so seconds to get to the log in page [07:25] Mogs: We don't need to know what is workung... [07:25] Mogs: What specs on the laptop? [07:25] it produces a multi coloured distortion screen for a second or two, the problem is with restarting / shutting down - sorry - 1.ghz, 1gig of ram [07:26] 1.6ghz* [07:26] I just bought a new monitor, pluged it in and restarted, ubuntu adjusted my resolution automatically, but the monitor wont do its own picture adjustment, is that onyl supported in windows? [07:27] goodmorning (it is morning here anyway) [07:27] Mogs: What is the problem with shutting down? [07:27] nixjr: Ask again. More people here [07:27] when i go to restart / shut down, it just kind of hangs / freezes, I have to press the power button to turn it off and on again [07:28] i'm having difficulty with installing galternatives [07:28] Samuel2: morning (morning here too, just finished werk) [07:28] here's my question: I do: sudo apt-get update and after that finished I did: sudo apt-get upgrade [07:28] Starminn, do monitor's built in auto adjustion feature require windows to work? [07:28] i am supposed to look in my system tools for the application icon...but it's not there [07:28] last time I tried to restart i got some text popping up with [ok] next to it, at the end a message '' mount : / is busy '' [07:28] and all goes fine [07:29] I reboot - not sure if it was needed but it doesn't hurt [07:29] nixjr: I don't know, I just meant to ask everybody in general. :) (i.e. Action PArsnip would know) [07:29] and rerun it on the CLI to see if there is anything else to update, and there wasn't [07:29] nit-wit:also when i am going to click on "change" button in user nad groups to change account type it doesnot gives response [07:29] but when I start the Update application it sees some updates, Kernal and some other things [07:30] The GUI update application that is [07:30] unison tells me "lost connection" again and again [07:30] so how to install for instance kernal from cli? [07:30] nixjr: monitor osd is built into the device and is OS independant [07:30] unison tells me "lost connection" again and again: Uncaught exception Not_found - how to repair? [07:31] ActionParsnip, strange, its saying "not available" when i try and use it, the whites are buring my eyes currently lol [07:31] guess this is the wrong place to ask then, thanks [07:31] Samuel2: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic [07:32] how to get back to parent folder? (upper one) some thing like cd.. in dos? [07:32] should I upgrade the kernal ActionParsnip? [07:32] Nixjr: what video chip are you using [07:33] nvidia 6800gs [07:33] Hosein: cd .. same just with a space [07:34] i don't think it works without a space in dos either [07:34] the nvidia thing in ubuntu detected my monitro automatically and adjusted the resolution to suit, very pleased, just a pitty about the osd as you called it [07:34] ActionParsnip,: oh funny! [07:34] nixjr: use nvidia-settings to correct the setting [07:35] ActionParsnip, thats preferable over adjusting it via the osd? [07:35] Hosein: yep. Super confusing if you flip between both [07:36] I must ask dos developers to change it according to linux!! [07:36] nixjr: not sure about preferable. If it works, use it [07:36] sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt-get -f install what does these command say [07:37] i'm getting kernal 2.6.35-28.49 [07:37] ActionParsnip, thanks for the advice and for clearing things up for me [07:37] should I keep the old kernal, or can I remove it and be save? [07:39] how do i get a list of all the commands available on a linux distribution? [07:39] Im using a very stripped down linux operating system and just want to see all the availabel commands [07:40] Dannyd, ls /bin maybe? [07:40] Dannyd, simply put you'd want to ls every directory in $PATH [07:40] how to add software-sources under menu bar? [07:40] Dannyd, there are myriad ways to go about that, ask #bash for some ideas (hint, I'm in there) [07:41] ok I just thought about that after posting the question...ok ill go to bash..thanks [07:41] how to add software-sources under menu bar? === VE2EBP is now known as stepnjump [07:44] how to add software-sources under menu bar?

[07:51] No, i removed windows xp- told it to erase and install on set up [07:51] Mogs: Ah. Have you ever successfully booted into the installed system? [07:51] I have spent the week struggling with trying to get my system up and stable! I have tried several versions of ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, 10.04 64 bit, 10.10 32-bit, 10.04 32 bit, have tried un-installing nuavoue(sp?) and in stalling nvidia drivers...Still w/ random freezes. Anyone know y or how to fix it? [07:52] uhm i'm on it now? I only have Ubuntu 10.10 on this - not really an issues logging onto it, it's restarting/shutting down [07:53] Hi, sorry for my english, If I have a processor with "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support" do I need to "Multi-core scheduler support". Very grateful. [07:53] Mogs: Oh. Hmm... I remember having a similar issue, myself (you press "Shut down" but it never shuts down till you hit the power button, yourself), but I don't recall what I did to fix it. I think it just started working one day, honestly. [07:53] Yeah that's the problem Starminn [07:54] I read, try and edit /etc/default/grub - but when i did so nothing changed - and now it's telling me ''permission denied'' when I use that command =/ [07:55] unison tells me "lost connection" again and again: Uncaught exception Not_found - how to repair?

Have been using ubuntu for years. No prob. except when I do things I know i should not...now uggggg!

[07:59] Mogs: *shakes head* No, Post #9. (The post numbers are on the top right.) Try your original thing with GRUB first though. This seems a little hacky.

[08:16] what is wrong, why I cannot install the package, libqt4-gui? [08:16] my "method" enables compiz for your session, instead of just replacing it one time [08:17] ohsix: When I want Metacity I "metacity --replace" and when I want transparent window title bars I do "compiz --replace" with Compiz using Emerald as the window decorator. [08:17] the rest is done in ccsm and with the theme [08:17] good job [08:17] ohsix: And it sticks through restart after restart, so yes it will stick. [08:17] does someone know a messenger aplication that suports yahoo and audio/video chat? [08:18] anyone else having problems with system freezing? [08:18] no one to help me :( [08:18] GreenCurry: Both are important though. So go to System->Preferences->Appearance, then go to "Visual Effects" and hit "Extra." (ohsix's method) [08:19] jiltdil: Are you able to use anything in the System->Administration and so on menu? [08:19] jiltdil: I mean things that require admin access [08:19] jiltdil: Like... System-Administration->Synaptic something [08:20] GreenCurry: After that (since you just want transparent window bars), install Emerald and tell me when you've done that because you've got just one and a half things to do after that. [08:21] starminn:yes m able to do this [08:21] ... emerald [08:22] jiltdil: Have you tried reinstalling the Software Center? [08:22] starminn:yes [08:23] starminn:but it also didn't helped [08:23] i want to 'burn' an bootup ISO to a usb, what software can i use for this ?

Even with the AC Adapter plugged in it still fades the screen to black, even though that option is disabled... Is this hardware- or software-bound? [08:28] thanks thauriswulfa [08:29] jiltdilt: Right there in the middle: http://imagebin.org/144812 do you not have it? [08:29] starminn;no [08:29] jiltdilt: Ah. That is probably your problem. Give me a moment. [08:30] ok [08:30] ubuntu 10.10 should have supported rdp protocol by default , right? [08:30] jiltdilt: Try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and see if it helps any === ussaine is now known as ussaine1 [08:30] starminn:ok m trying [08:30] QUESTION: after reinstalling grub, not able to login( hint: home is on another partition) plz plz help [08:30] hello [08:31] i install postfix on my server and rundcube for client mail [08:32] starminn:should i to run all these comamnd that are provided by your link [08:32] jiltdil: Just the first one that's indented and says "...this is how to add it.... Run this in terminal" [08:32] but when i try to connect i have imap error [08:32] jiltdilt: The whole box, thoguh, yes [08:33] starminn:but i have to say that 2 day before there is the same configuration and no mediubuntu option is there and i have no problem [08:33] danial: have you looked at >system>power management? [08:33] jiltdilt: I think it's that the things you're trying to install now might be restricted by it. [08:33] !medibuntu | jiltdilt [08:33] jiltdilt: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [08:34] j_hn: Yeah. That#s [08:34] that's what I meant by that. I already fiddled with the preferences. [08:34] starminn:thanx m trying to do [08:34] jiltdilt: Even if this doesn't solve your problem, at least you'll have it. This is me trying my hand at solving your problem because nobody else was here and I didn't want you to feel like we don't care. ;) [08:34] can i get help with imap port ? [08:35] The power management options are set to never shut down the screen, fade to black or anything else while on AC power. Yet it does not keep to it, as it seems. [08:36] Is the newest v. of Ubuntu due next month? [08:36] is there a screen save setting? if i remember correctly screensavers can also blacken a screen to prevent burn in [08:36] <_Wally> uabn93, ues [08:36] <_Wally> yes [08:36] daniel: Does the screen fade to black always or just after a set time? [08:37] j_hn: That was what I was thinking [08:37] Starminn, j_hn: after a bit of time. So you could be right, could be a screen saver. Hang on [08:37] the RaLink rt3090 is listed as a wifi card that is compatible with ubuntu/linux but it is so buggy, why would they consider that as supported? [08:37] Derp, you were right. [08:37] daniel: :) [08:37] Since there are bugs on new releases, where can one go to report them? [08:37] heh. Thanks.... :D [08:38] daniel: As the old saying goes, "That's not a bug, that's a feature!" [08:38] However, I am also thinking there is trouble in paradise! As I am having a lot of problems with my current ubuntu!!! [08:38] !natty | uabn93 [08:38] uabn93: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [08:39] Just completed a 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade with only 1 hitch: it lost my desktop background. :) [08:39] Are random freezes??? :) [08:39] so in the linux world is hardware considered as compatible even if it works in only a very small sense? [08:39] j_hn: I could try to help. What are more details? When does it freeze? [08:39] or i should say very limited sense [08:39] brophat: not generally [08:39] who says it's supported? [08:39] brophat: Define your meaning. [08:40] starminn:now what to do after running that command [08:40] brophat: you will find bug reports galore filed against projects where hardware is not fully compatible. [08:40] ok i have the ralink rt3090 and it takes like five minutes for my wifi to be recognized [08:40] more importantly, who said supported? [08:40] critical_max: thats a big problem with Ubuntu, every 6 months updating bleeding edge and everything breaking again [08:40] linux-wireless wiki is de-facto on what's supported [08:40] otherwise its vendor drivers and al up in the air [08:41] and then it works for maybe 1/2 hour then doesn't work for a while [08:41] it is just flaky [08:41] Elektroid: nothing broke though. and it was my choice to upgrade, because it's a system where things can break. I would have stayed on LTS were it a server. [08:41] very frustrating [08:41] jiltdilt: Just to make sure it takes, try logging out to the login screen and logging back in again. (A little bit of a hassle, but just ot be certain ti takes) [08:41] random...have installed 10.10 64 10.04 64 10.10 32 10.04 32, uninstalled Nouveau and installed nvidia current...still freezing, though seems to be less with 10.04 32 [08:41] i checked and the proper driver is in [08:41] I can't see any pattern [08:41] elektroid: that was my 5th distribution upgrade since 8.04 on this install. no major problems. [08:42] critical_max: I mean all the fixes that the community makes with a release of some software all get broken because they choose new versions of x.org and what not [08:42] critical_max this wifi card is listed as compatible [08:42] I thought that what this channel was for. What's the difference between #ubuntu and #Ubuntu+1 ? [08:42] listed where [08:42] ubuntu network [08:42] i can get the link [08:42] brophat: tell us what your card is and what you've found out so far. [08:42] Starminn:i have ticed to medibuntu [08:42] !natty > uabn93 [08:42] uabn93, please see my private message [08:43] uabn93: Read it. #ubuntu+1 is for Ubuntu's next release (+1) [08:43] critical_max all i know is it is the supported list, the correct driver is loaded, and it is flaky as all heck [08:43] jiltdilt: What? [08:43] unison tells me "lost connection" again and again: Uncaught exception Not_found - how to repair? [08:43] brophat: again, what list and what card? can't help without that info [08:44] the card is ralink rt3092 [08:44] Okay, sorry fr the trouble. Thanks [08:44] let me get the list [08:44] ubuntu 10.10 should have supported rdp protocol by default , right? [08:44] brophat, thanks. also what version of ubuntu you are running [08:44] starminn: i have done as u told me but also there is same problem [08:44] starminn:should i to run the second box command in termainl also [08:44] ubuntu 10.10 64 bit [08:45] brophat: a quick google turns up many Ubuntu threads marked "solved". have you browsed those yet? before i go through them [08:45] Starminn: Did you catch all of that? [08:45] jiltdilt: If you want. The page says it just adds the ability to report bugs though. [08:45] yes i have browsed them [08:45] brophat: i actually only googled for "ralink rt3092", apparently your problem is the biggest talking point on the Net for this card [08:46] a wifi card is more than just the wifi card as well; routers can play a big role depending on the features used in the drivers [08:46] Starminn:so how to recover from my problem [08:46] critical_max it is listed as supported let me find that list [08:46] hello [08:46] brophat, did you follow the directions in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9841175&postcount=4?

[08:47] j_hn my wifi card works like crap [08:47] j_hn: Yeah, I'm Googling a bit. So far it looks like, "Too many variables, can't tell" is the typical attitude on this particular issue. I'm not experienced at all in this sort of thing anyway, so I really can't help much. Sorry man. Try again between like 8pm and 2am (GMT -4:00) -- some smart people are here then. ;) [08:47] takes 5 mins to locate my wifi [08:47] runs ok for a while then stops === robin is now known as Guest76742 [08:47] on and off [08:48] j_hn: OR keep at it now. I just don't know what ot tell you, personally. [08:48] brophat, i believe you're looking at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588863 [08:48] Debian bug 588863 in linux-image-2.6-686 "linux-image-2.6-686: rt3090sta module requires /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat" [Normal,Fixed] [08:48] jiltdilt: One sec.

[08:48] there it is considered ubuntu certified hardware [08:49] basically the driver is there but it's buggy [08:49] jiltdilt: Are you able to isntall software with Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get? [08:49] brophat: post the output of "uname -a" in a terminal please, and check the bug report i linked [08:49] Starmin:yes [08:49] oh ok critical_max [08:50] Linux wayne-p6531p 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:39:03 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [08:50] is that what you wanted critical_max? [08:50] brophat: 2.6.35-28 does seem to be current so i'd be surprised if this wasn't fixed in ubuntu [08:50] yes [08:50] is there I can wget and test out my tinyproxy? [08:50] on port 8888 [08:50] on a server [08:50] brophat: lookin into another possibility [08:51] ok [08:51] I am just surprised that it is considered certified ubuntu hardeare [08:51] hardware [08:51] you saw my link? [08:51] starminn:yes installing through apt-get in terminal works also through semantic pacakge manager it works [08:51] yes [08:52] brophat: what router are you using [08:52] ohsix 2wire [08:52] jiltdilt: Bleh. One second. Looks like my Internet has decided to be mean to me. [08:53] starminn:ok [08:53] yeah i use the wire cause the wireless is so crapy [08:53] brophat, can you do a "lsmod | grep rt" and pastebin the results [08:53] ok [08:54] Can anyone go to http://www.google.com and tell me if it's up? (downforeveryoneorjustme.com isn't working for me either so don't suggest it) === zeroedout_ is now known as zeroedout [08:54] google works for me [08:55] can I somehow enable hardware acceleration for video display in vlc or totem? [08:55] brophat, basically, i'm seeing people in all kinds of distros blacklisting the rt2800 driver to get their (newer than 2800) RT series cards working. I haven't found a confirmed fix for 10.10 yet, still looking. [08:55] j_hn: Weird. Some sites will work but others won't, nor if I search anything. [08:55] the b43 drivers that come with lunix drop after heavy use, like the device is overheating; the proprietary ones don't D: [08:55] ok i paste binned it [08:55] do yuo need me to tell the the url [08:55] brophat: sure do :) [08:55] brophat: I want pastebrain [08:56] http://pastebin.com/7XL83JNH [08:56] yeah don't knwo exactly how pastebin works haha [08:56] brophat: ok, that matches what i'm seeing. still looking for a proper process for our distro. [08:56] hang tight. [08:56] ok [08:57] just wonder who it made it to the supported list in ubuntu [08:57] Starminn:??? [08:57] brophat: it probably worked when added, i'd guess [08:57] Strminn: are you suffering "parental block"? ;-) [08:57] jiltdilt: Okay, I'm back up again. My Internet got real weak all of a sudden. Alright, let me look for some stuff perhaps. [08:57] j_hn: :) Except that I live on my own. [08:58] and this adapter is in a lot of computers [08:58] i know HP puts it into a lot of theirs, i have one [08:58] brophat: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10578319&postcount=7 [08:58] don't know! It's an imperfect world...maybe a screw fell out! [08:58] brophat: it's a regression, it worked in 9.04 is why it's listed official [08:58] brophat: still working on solution [08:58] sec [08:59] ok ic [08:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/549801 [08:59] Ubuntu bug 549801 in linux (Ubuntu) "USB WiFi adapter with rt2870 chipset won't connect" [Medium,Triaged] [08:59] jiltdilt: Try "sudo apt-get update" (we should have tried this first, haha) [08:59] Starminn: i have tried it almost 100times in last 2 days [09:00] critical_max that is the rt2870 mine is the rt3092 === Guest76742 is now known as robn19890305 [09:01] Starminn: but the result is like Hit http://archive.canonical.com maverick/partner amd64 Packages [09:01] all are in Hit [09:01] brophat, yes, lots of reports all over the net indicating it's the same problem, see for example http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=255115&mode=linear. you can try to race me in google to a report of 3290/10.10 fix if you want :) [09:01] no critical_max you are better at this than I [09:02] jiltdilt: If you would pelase, could you paste a screenshot of Ubuntu Software Center->Edit->Software Sources both the first tab and "Other Sources"? I'm curious to see if something is there that shouldn't be. *http://www.imagebin.org [09:02] ok [09:02] Can I reinstall ubuntu without any external media? [09:03] brophat excuse me, 3092 not 3290. That page also specifies that RT3000 series 802.11draft-n chipsets use the rt2870sta driver. [09:03] jiltdilt: And everything is updated, right? Update Manager/ sudo apt-get upgrade have everythin up-to-date? [09:03] anyone know a messenger aplication that suports audio/video call on yahoo messenger? [09:03] brophat what seems to be happening is the loading of the 2800 drivers gets in the way. the solution for people in many distros seems to be to use the 'blacklist' file which is created to stop kernel modules from loading, for just this purpose. [09:03] how do you replace update managers with something else [09:04] brophat, that means our goal is to get rt2870sta to load not rt2800 [09:04] critical_max ok [09:04] natty [09:04] brophat, i need to verify that that's the driver for 10.10 and we'll try that.

See here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1589555 [09:06] hirogen: wrong channel [09:06] god damn just a 1 off question [09:06] ilea: I don't know of any. As far as I know Yahoo! doesn't even have file transfer support on any of them on Ubuntu. (Then again I've only tried a few, though) [09:06] hirogen: Control the language please. Family-friendly. :) [09:06] hirogen: mind your language in this channel [09:06] brophat, "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" [09:07] ok [09:07] I have two disks accessible and a folder named New Folder. I want to check if it belongs to master disk or Slave Disk. How do I do that? [09:07] ok will do [09:07] brophat, lets jump in msg to not spam with the details of the solution :) [09:07] lol hirogen [09:07] ok [09:07] brophat: you should try the driver backports before you blacklist stuff, it could be fixed already [09:08] jiltdilt: Kill those "file:/blah/blah/blah" [09:08] what aplication exists for linux that can suport audio video calling and exists for windows too? [09:08] jiltdilt: I've never seen anything like that and I know I certainly don't have them, That's quite odd. [09:08] ilea: Pidgin. [09:08] pidgin dosnt work i tryed it [09:09] pidgin doesn't video calls [09:09] ohsix: Oh, right, video. >.> [09:09] Starminn: thats the mmatter i amso frustereted [09:09] ilea: Skype is an option. Not sure how well it fairs on Linux, thogh. Never tried [09:09] apparently it can do voice and video with gmail/google talk though [09:09] ok [09:10] jiltdilt: So try unchecking them. [09:10] ohsix: That's what I was thinking of. I forgot ti was only for Google though [09:10] so you can use gtalk for pidgin -> pidgin, or pidgin -> gtalk, or gmail if the plugin is loaded [09:10] I am logged in a system having another disk visble to me.How casn I install new OS on this slave disk without logging out [09:10] hi. is this the right channel for installation vs hardware issues? [09:11] ririk: if it's about an ubuntu installation, you can certainly try here [09:11] !here [09:11] Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [09:13] oCean: yes, it is. thanks. i am trying to install karmic koala on a vaio p (those little netbooks w/o a cd drive). i am trying to install it from a USB drive, however it keeps booting into the HD installation of Ubuntu, which hangs up on the login screen. === shadow is now known as Guest42198 [09:14] hi, im new to linux, will programs line "gnome planner" work in natty with unity and all ? [09:14] jnlsnl_: Natty support is in #ubuntu+1 [09:14] ok Starminn [09:14] jnlsnl_: They'd know better than we. ;) [09:14] I changed the bios settings to boot from external device, and it worked perfectly when i previously installed ubuntu on it. [09:16] anybody know how to make it so certain applications start maximised? [09:16] ririk: Have you, upon turning on your computer, gone to where you can choose your bootable medium (F12 on most Dells) and hit USB? [09:16] ririk: I have hardly any experience using usb installer. But I wonder why you use a 1,5 year old version, which will be out of support in a month or so [09:16] no--name: When you close it, close it maximized? [09:16] it started hanging up on the login screen after i updated ubuntu, so i:m guessing the update messed up the drivers somehow [09:16] no--name: It "remembers". [09:17] Starminn: doesn't work with everything. [09:17] Starminn: yes, i have tried that [09:17] ok critical_max [09:17] do we need to check something? [09:17] the wifi came right up this time [09:17] but sometimes it does that too [09:17] brophat, yeah let's check "lsmod | grep rt" again, pastebin please [09:17] ok [09:17] brophat, that sounds encouraging! [09:18] no--name: you can use something like devilspie to do window matching and make certain things always maximized, among other things [09:18] no--name: your window manager might already be able to do such a thing, too; like compiz [09:18] thanks ohsix, I'll check it out [09:19] critical_max http://pastebin.com/BL60qZFx [09:19] no--name: Indeed. In Compiz it's "Window Rules" at the bottom. [09:19] critical_max looks like it is still loading no? [09:20] I don't use compiz... Devilspie seems to be doing the trick though [09:20] Yeah, if you don't use it then don't bother. Way overkill, haha [09:20] Hi, I have a script I've put in /etc/init.d which is called ipv6.sh, and I'd like that script to autoload after networking on startup/reboot, how would I accomplish that? [09:20] brophat, one more pastebin: "tail -20 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" [09:20] Most people do though, so I was just throwing it out there [09:20] ok [09:20] hi, I want to know what BNC is , and how can I use it, anyone ? :) [09:21] dr0id, BouNCer, keeps your conneciton to IRC alive [09:21] Hi how do I install wordpress? [09:21] 'apt-get install wordpress' [09:21] ? [09:21] right, I just know that much :P [09:21] JonesNH: lol, no [09:21] dr0id: why not? [09:21] you have to download the package and follow the 5 min guide [09:21] critical_max http://pastebin.com/A1bS1y1s [09:21] brophat, also pastebin "modinfo rt2800lib" if it's more than one line please [09:21] i.e., get the config right, and then open it in browser. it has an inbuilt installer [09:22] ok [09:22] ISO-file contains filenames like this: "file.end;1" how to repair? [09:22] JonesNH: Yes. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/web/ Down in "w" yeah === sloopy is now known as Guest81763 === shark is now known as Guest44405 [09:23] critical_max http://pastebin.com/N1EXgJvk [09:23] JonesNH: (That's a list of all packages pertaining to Web. That site, thought, lists all packages so when in doubt you can check it.) === khrm_ is now known as khrm [09:23] hi all, whats the command line to see what computers are on my network? === Gwar is now known as Guest84222 [09:23] Starminn: so it is possible? [09:23] !packages | JonesNH [09:23] JonesNH: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [09:24] wow, wordpress was available via apt-get, interesting === Guest84222 is now known as Gwarz [09:24] s/was/is [09:24] so dr0id was wrong [09:24] "lol" [09:24] JonesNH: Yeah, according to Ubuntu.com the package for wordpress is "wordpress" [09:24] is there not a way to specify where u want a packagge installed with apt-get? [09:25] can usb drives from different manufacturers behave differently in that some of them fail to work as bootable devices while others don:t? [09:25] JonesNH: It takes care of all of that for you by default, but I don't know about telling it where to go. I know what you're trying to do and I remember when I installed Apache it went all over the place. [09:26] JonesNH: Try this: http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/14489-how-does-apt-get-install-work.html [09:26] Starminn: will installing that package automatically configure apache for wordpress destination? [09:26] or not [09:27] JonesNH: I don't know. I don't use Wordpress -- I use my own backends (though my needs are quite basic) [09:27] JonesNH: The link I just gave you was intended to kind of make you think, "Well, I could take each step menually myself" which would let you install where you wanted (just not with "apt-get) [09:27] hi all, whats the command line to see what computers are on my network? [09:28] newbie01, the only way to do that is do a network scan [09:28] newbie01, google nmap [09:28] or arp -an, if the computer has done anything in that segment [09:28] smw: don't suggest google here, thanks [09:28] Why? [09:28] oCean, why not? [09:29] UBUNTU HATES GOOGLE? [09:29] !google | smw [09:29] smw: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [09:29] if people could google their problems away they wouldn't be here, it's simple [09:29] smw: that is never helpful. [09:29] e [09:29] ISO-file contains filenames like this: "file.end;1" how to repair? === chmod is now known as istok [09:29] oCean, Starminn, I gave what to look up! It is not the same as saying "go google it yourself" [09:29] JonesNH: did you look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress ? [09:30] does any one know of any software which will allow me to acces my files, mostly pictures from the webt, i have like 80 gb of them [09:30] JonesNH: And actually Canonical agreed to help Google with making the ChromeOS, so no, far from it [09:30] like i was thinking an ftp like one [09:30] with thumbnails [09:30] smw: don't suggest it here. [09:30] oCean, Starminn, telling him to lookup nmap is legitimate help. [09:30] smw: not in this channel thank you [09:30] smw: And it's not the same as saying, "Oh, here's a link to what you're looking for." [09:30] slim_charles: you could mount the ftp, and view the files in nautilus [09:31] smw, thanks [09:31] well i want to view them when im not home [09:31] newbie01, yw [09:31] it would be too much of a hassle to upload 60gb +\ [09:32] are there any image databasing solutions [09:32] theres flickr [09:32] So where does 'wordpress' install to? [09:32] If i install the package using apt [09:32] but if you're putting files on the web to access them remotely, you can't get around uploading them [09:32] JonesNH, dpkg --listfiles package [09:33] JonesNH: dpkg -L wordpress after its installed [09:33] JonesNH: did you not read the link? sudo ln -s /usr/share/wordpress /var/www/wordpress [09:33] JonesNH: /usr/share/wordpress most likely [09:33] smw, If im logged into the network through ssh is nmap still the only way [09:33] bye [09:33] ohsix, heres my end goal, have only thumbnails while viewing them online, and if i want to pull on up then i would have to download it [09:34] newbie01, you can not "login to a network" [09:34] sacarlson: ? [09:34] :O [09:34] ls -s? [09:34] newbie01, something like nmap is the only way [09:34] smw, a computer on the network [09:34] i dont have control to sudo apt [09:34] JonesNH: you have another question? === Gwar is now known as Guest8849 [09:34] newbie01, the only way is to test every ip and see if it works. [09:35] newbie01, nmap does that. [09:35] arp -an too [09:35] JonesNH: ln = symbolic link [09:35] smw, ok thanks for the help [09:36] sacarlson: why? [09:36] sacarlson, ln -s is symbolic link. ln is just "link" [09:36] symbolic? [09:36] metaphoric [09:36] JonesNH, symbolic means it points to the real file [09:36] allegorical [09:36] do I have to do some chown/chmod'ing to get wordpress to show on web? i've pointed apache's documentroot to /usr/share/wordpress [09:36] JonesNH: that's where wordpress is installed so you link it to apache2 with sybolic link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress see this for details [09:36] smw: so what would a regular link be? [09:37] JonesNH, a hard link is a link where both files point to the same inode [09:37] JonesNH, http://gog.is/hard/link [09:37] JonesNH, neither one is more real than the other [09:37] abstrakt: o man you did a bad [09:37] so things pointing to file2 do not know they're being sent to file1, with -s? [09:37] but they do with no -s [09:37] ? [09:38] other way around [09:38] okay [09:38] -s means that a program can tell it is being redirected [09:38] and works on directories [09:38] and can cross filesystems [09:38] do I have to do some chown/chmod'ing to get wordpress to show on web? i've pointed apache's documentroot to /usr/share/wordpress [09:39] JonesNH, there is no good reason for a hardlink ;-) [09:39] ISO-file contains filenames like this: "file.end;1" how to repair? [09:39] JonesNH: thats not the right way to do it D: [09:39] wouldn't web server problems be better addressed in #httpd ? [09:39] JonesNH: after the sybolic link is create it fails ? or did you fail to create the sybolic link? [09:39] ... [09:39] JonesNH, wordpress is not something you should install from apt. [09:39] i didnt create one [09:39] i just set apache to /usr/share/wordress [09:40] except when you do, apt will install security fixes [09:40] ohsix, true [09:40] smw: sure you can. wp is in the repositories [09:40] oCean, I know it is [09:40] oCean, so is mediawiki [09:40] JonesNH: did you not use the apt-get method to install wordpress? [09:41] JonesNH: if not you may need to look into apparmor to get apache2 to allow that wordpress directory access [09:42] i'd be looking at how ubuntu does virtualhosting and how you're expected to be able to use the installed files [09:42] sacarlson, wait, how would apparmor help? [09:43] smw: I think apache2 is under the apparmor restricted list, am I wrong? [09:43] apparmor has restrictions for apache, or something [09:43] blind leading the blind [09:44] speak up friend [09:44] JonesNH: usually after installing such packages, the installer should create a blah.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d pointing to the correct location [09:44] My system doesn't like Hibernating. Tips? [09:44] mod_blah [09:44] Starminn: does it like suspending [09:45] ohsix: Not sure. *tries* [09:45] * quiescens waves Starminn goodbye [09:45] apparmor status can be invoked via apparmor_status but i seriously doubt anything is being enforced with regard to apache [09:45] Starminn: if it does, make sure you have swap, and its uiid matches RESUME in initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [09:45] that is, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [09:46] ohsix: Oh, nevermind. IT does. Everything's fine. I just got Hibernate and Suspend mixed up. [09:46] ohsix: I've always done that. It is my opinion that they should be switched. :) [09:46] Starminn: if it does, make sure you have swap, and its uuid matches RESUME in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [09:46] hey everyone [09:47] ohsix: Wait, what is hibernate supposed to do? [09:47] Starminn: suspend to disk [09:47] ive got a weird problem, anyone could help me? :S [09:47] smw: I was not totaly correct about apparmor as I look at sudo apparmor_status apache2 isn't in it but mysql is so that's why I think I noted the problem before [09:47] !ask | csenger41 [09:47] csenger41: 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. :-) [09:47] !ask | csenger41 [09:47] suspend is suspend to ram, blinky light and all that [09:47] ok sry [09:48] apologize to yourself, not us ;) [09:48] so, i never shut down my comp with ubuntu 10.10 desktop [09:48] critical_max ok [09:49] im on the edge of my seat waiting for the question/problem ... [09:49] and sometimes after not using it for about 8 hours /sleep/ a cant load any of the google sites [09:49] i mean gmail, google search, youtube [09:49] ohsix: What is hibernate supposed to do? [09:49] but everything else yes [09:49] Starminn: suspend to disk [09:49] ohsix: OH, sorry. :) [09:50] only restart helps, neither reconnect to internet nor log out-log in [09:50] ohsix: When I "hibernate" I have to restart my computer from scratch. BIOS screen and all. [09:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html hur [09:50] Starminn: does the uuid for your swap match the one in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [09:51] ohsix: How do I check? [09:51] any suggestion for my problem? [09:51] flail about wildly, then look at the contents of the file, and blkid, or /etc/fstab [09:52] ohsix: One sec, I need to ctake care of something totally unrelated [09:52] hi, when will next LTS ubuntu be released? [09:52] me too, sleep [09:53] csenger41: you've ruled out upstream issues, like bad DNS lookups on your network and/or from your provider, malfuntioning networking equipment, etc. [09:53] does wordpress need to be installed as root? [09:53] :) [09:53] hard to say if that's actually an ubuntu issue and not something else ;) [09:53] marekw2143: 12.04? [09:53] JonesNH: what do you think [09:53] hi there i have a problem with the microphone [09:53] ejv: but i can surf EVERYTHING else, for example facebook, yahoo [09:53] * ejv shrugs [09:54] how many people around you use ubuntu as their main OS? [09:54] !poll | vietred [09:54] vietred: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [09:54] JonesNH, wordpress does not need to be installed as root. [09:54] 0.001 % [09:54] red2kic: yes [09:55] vietred, I do. [09:56] anyone else any suggestion? :( [09:56] smw: JonesNH: it would if you used th apt-get method to install it [09:56] sacarlson, true... [09:56] csenger41, the site "downforeveryoneorjustme.com" is actually quite relevant to your question. [09:58] JonesNH: if you didn't use apt-get to install wordpress then I guess you will have to install the dependances manualy like mysql and ?? [09:58] what is command line to Scp from home computer to server? [09:58] critical_max: sry but i cant anything else written by you for me [09:59] critical_max [09:59] ohsix: Alright, back, so where do I look for this stuff? haha [09:59] newbie01, scp localfile user@host:/path/to/save/to [09:59] smw, tks [10:01] Hello! [10:01] I have a problem with bootable DVDs [10:01] My laptop does not boot with such DVDs [10:01] while I'm on Ubuntu [10:01] it was ok on Windows [10:01] Now it just ignores bootable DVDs [10:01] on startup [10:02] not when I'm in system [10:02] !enter | Sbioko [10:02] Sbioko: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:02] That's not Ubuntu, though. That's controlled before Ubuntu. [10:03] I know [10:03] Have you checked your BIOS settings and ensured that it's set to boot CDs before HDD? [10:03] yes [10:03] lll [10:03] DVD is before HDD [10:03] in boot order [10:03] Well on my computer I know I have to go to Boot Settings (F12 on mine) to boot from external media [10:03] hi there [10:05] hey, i've got a strange problem with X and gdm, sometimes i've got X on ttys other then 7, and sometimes i even have to restart X or gdm to get it working (im using 10.04.2) [10:05] and also, when I'm ubuntu, system just hangs when I insert dics [10:05] disc [10:05] Ubuntu 10.10 [10:05] Sbioko: stop inserting discs [10:06] Sinep, very funny [10:06] Sinep: Not helpful [10:06] sorry, just woke up [10:06] Sbioko: completely hangs? or can you switch to console? [10:06] no [10:06] completely [10:06] on Windows all worked [10:06] kernel panic? [10:07] screen just brushes lines [10:07] and that's all [10:07] ok [10:07] completely hangs [10:07] only hard reset helps [10:07] and what does your log say after a reboot?

I c no diff with df -h [10:18] critical_max [10:18] k [10:18] greppy, It says I have 62% but I dont think this correct [10:18] greppy: why do u think so ? [10:18] "-k like --block-size=1K" according to "man df" if that means anything to you. [10:18] sorry, newbie, not greppy [10:19] Starminn: yes, but -h neutralizes -k so far I can c [10:19] jjp: it doesn't on all systems [10:19] I get to manage soliars, *bsd and linux systems, it's habit :) [10:19] jjp greppy: Well "df" and "df -k" are no different on mine. "df -h" is MUCH sexier, though.

[10:44] Trashi: the main thing is that you have both dav and dav_fs enabled and a location where it says 'Dav on' [10:44] zvacet:how can i update it? [10:44] navin_: you have to know the device. easiest way if not: use 'dmesg' and look at output some seconds after putting in the card [10:44] at least my ubuntu is working like fish in the sea...

Only if "lm" is there, then it has 64bit capabilities [10:59] ubuntu runs slowly. [10:59] what does that mean [10:59] HyperHoRse: what about top ?

Using a combination of Google and experience I've got to the point where the Ubuntu box can ping anything in either network and machines on one network can ping the other networks interface (eg, 192.168.111.1 can ping 192.168.199.150). However after 2 days of trying I still can't get over the final hurdle of getting machine [11:40] s to talk to the other network. I'm assuming it's NAT related but can't crack it. Can anyone offer me some pointers? [11:40] creat0r: i think places -> connect to server and choose windows share [11:41] stetho: have you turned on forwarding ?

The Output pane does not pause during cin commands because it is just for output. So the question is, is there a way to make the Go command run the program in a terminal by default?

[12:26] i am unable to install anyting from software center when i am clicking to install buttom it doesnot gives any response? [12:26] The default apps eg. Kde has konqueror [12:27] amalgama, you can use Synaptic to check what are the dependencies on the package of the desktop environment you want to use [12:27] amalgama: well environment includes apps.

But, with gnome, there is gnome-core, so you might find equivalent for others DE [12:34] <[1]Jake> Hello everyone. I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 330m and using the tutorials I still can't get advanced video working. Anyone here manage to get it to work for them? [12:35] how? [12:35] anyone know what that error mean? [12:35] amalgama, dbkblk: right, even gnome-core includes applications because that's essentially what a desktop environment *is* [12:36] Guys. Seriously i broke the boot. I can only access ubuntu on live cd how can i fix this when i open the computer i got this "minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub>" [12:36] jrib, dbkblk: ok ok, so, for example, for gnome, just the DE is the gnome-core package??? Thanx, thats what i wanted, a basic step on how to start looking.. If it has just the basic apps I am ok, but i wouldnt want to download kde and have eg amarok on my laptop [12:36] i will check the "core" packages... Thanx ppl.... [12:37] amalgama: usually "core" or "base" [12:37] hi I installed Ubuntu and now it is dual booting with Windows(my friends laptop)...the wireless button is not working in Ubuntu-why? [12:37] amalgama, if you are on gnome, use synaptic and right click on a package to check the dependencies ! [12:37] amalgama: you can install amarok in gnome if that is what you want [12:38] Any solutions? [12:38] <[1]Jake> rados: I had the same issue with one of my laptops. I had to finally install the binary drivers to get it to work.

[12:43] uabn93: or you can compile yourself [12:44] poss: I dont think firefox for was ever included in the update manager. I updated today and it was still 3.6 [12:45] <[1]Jake> poss: I had the same problem on one machine yesterday. I resolved it by backing up firefox settings then downloading ff4. Unistall ff 3.6 then using the dl installing ff4 [12:45] [1]Jake, HP...on Windows 7 its all workin === mag is now known as Guest18383 [12:46] poss, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [12:46] hello [12:46] hi all [12:46] thanks guys [12:47] <[1]Jake> rados: Not all drivers will install automatically.

But as I said that was Fedora [12:47] hi guys, i p [12:47] [1]Jake, I had problems during Ubuntu download...maybe it has something broken but it did install [12:48] [1]Jake, I never had before that kind of problems [12:48] <[1]Jake> rados: I am just a novice but if you search for the model of your wireless card you may find the driver in binary form and have to install it using terminal [12:48] i point in my xorg.conf direct on my gpu's by using the BusID.

[13:16] ZULO: you need to make sure that the address won't conflict [13:16] i get no sound on my laptop in 10.04 with AD198x Analog (N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller) [13:17] dmizer:the last line is N: Ignoring file 'apt-build' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has no filename extension [13:17] and above this all line is starting with hit [13:17] ZULO: Yes, as sacarlson says, make sure there is not an IP address conflict. [13:17] ZULO: since your wlan0 address must come from a dhcp server you must use that and setup an address on eth0 that won't conflict [13:17] whatever i do, i can't change the friendly name of my bluetooth device. i've tried bluetooth and blueman, how can i change it? [13:17] thanks jrib how copy ? [13:17] jiltdil that's your problem, search google for a fix for your error. [13:18] when i change it, it shows up differently, but it changes back when i restart the device [13:18] okey, ill try now. Thanks for all, ill come with results :) [13:18] dmizer:help me [13:18] tyreza: ggVG I guess... [13:18] ZULO: You can also use a firewall script and use a firewall generator to write the script for you. See: http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ [13:18] ZULO: this is your wlan0 address 192.168.1.33 so your eth0 can be 192.168.2.33 or anything other than 192.168.1.x [13:18] erm [13:18] I need an open source solution to taking a power point presentation, record someone talking over it, and then saving it as a video. i know theres a program that does it but its name is completely escaping me right now... [13:19] terry: you should run "vimtutor" so you become familiar with the basics of vim (if you want to do such a thing). You could just use a different editor of course. In any case, you can copy with: ggyG [13:19] it works awesomely while my name is changed though hmm [13:19] jiltdil did you manually edit any repositories?

[14:04] it varies so much time [14:04] raven: u can use *grep* [14:04] dlyneshome: how can i find it? [14:04] gnubala, what's your offset from GMT? [14:04] SITZ, i need a system wide search [14:05] raven: then, try using *find* [14:05] gnubala, i.e. if it's 1pm in London, what time is it in Chennai? [14:05] How do I check what groups and users exists on system? === Guest62918 is now known as Gwar_Poni [14:05] SITZ, find always gives me all files out - how to use it right then? [14:05] then pipeline it to the desired requirements [14:06] dlyneshome: UTC/GMT +5:30 hours === ruan_ is now known as ruan [14:06] dyd uncomment: local_enable=YES #TO allow local user login. [14:07] gnubala, nice...I guess ubuntu installer authors never thought about 1/2 hour time zones [14:07] gnubala, fwiw, our country has two of those 1/2 hour time zones [14:07] nicofs: You have a rather perplexing problem. [14:08] terry, i know - but i managed to get apt-get update to work... hope is not lost... [14:08] do you know QQ? [14:08] compdoc: finally i resolve my problem [14:08] dlyneshome: it works fine, [14:08] gnubala, but those time zones are accounted for, it looks like...just not chennai's [14:08] dlyneshome: means? [14:09] nicofs: I suppose you could try and get files from another system. [14:09] fvdf [14:09] nicofs: If this server has a sister someplace, you could try something like: [14:09] raven: find / -name '*somestring*' [14:10] terry: i did that, but still it's not accepting my main account [14:10] gnubala, edit /etc/timezone, and set it to Etc/GMT-5.5 [14:10] i also restarted the service [14:10] Doesn't ubuntu 10.10 server run without super user root as it used to in previous ubuntu releases? Or did my installation get messed up somehow? [14:10] raven: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind [14:10] gnubala, hopefully that'll do it [14:10] gnubala, after you've done that, do a reboot [14:10] raven: locate may be better for a system wide search. « locate somestring » [14:10] dlyneshome: thank you for the kind response.

[14:11] riptly: what's the problem, exactly? [14:11] Unity will require Zeitgeist, right? [14:11] is there a way to give my phone my internet connection? [14:11] gnubala, but again, I don't know if that'll work, because i don't know what else dpkg-reconfigure tzdata changes (if anything) [14:11] ? [14:11] Hi, I have windows xp and ubuntu 9.10. Now I wanna remove, windows and install new ubuntu 10.04. Can I share the same SWAP memory as used for ubuntu 9.10(dont wanna delete 9.10) so that I will have same swap for both versions of ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10 [14:11] sipior: Oh no problem, I was just wondering if it had been changed? [14:11] erUSUL, ok tnx [14:11] SITZ: are you the one trying to mount devices on startup? if so try 'man mount' in a terminal [14:12] nicofs: gzip -d < tpkg.gz | dd of=/var/lib/dpkg #And then copy over to the dead one. [14:12] appiuppi: Yes you can share swap partitions between different versions [14:12] riptly: no, nothing has changed in that regard. [14:12] bob__: yes, ok [14:12] what's the difference between installing eg zlib1g and zlib1g-dev? [14:12] nicofs: No wait, not that... [14:12] if i install the later, do i need to install the former? [14:12] pbear: -dev is the files for development [14:12] pbear: zlib1g-dev contains the headers so you can compile programs that use the lib [14:13] dlyneshome: sorry! i cant understand you [14:13] gnubala, I'm just saying that will probably fix the problem, but it might not [14:13] hi friends [14:13] DJones: Oh I see. Thank you DJones, as you said i will use the same swap partition for the newer version. [14:13] hi friends [14:13] gnubala, it's worth a try, but i'm not going to guarantee that it will work [14:13] how are doing [14:13] ...home: oh! ok ok.. [14:13] hi c0d3r_C_c0d3r [14:14] sipior: Okey? Well, I can ssh in as root, and work myself around as root, which previously I worked with a "regular user" using sudo. [14:14] gnubala, i'm just another ubuntu user...I don't work for ubuntu === claviceps_ is now known as charolastra [14:14] nicofs: dd if=/var/lib/dpkg | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /var/lib/ #To make the file and then copy it to the other system. [14:14] riptly: that would mean that you (or someone else) enabled the root account. [14:14] Just out of curiosity, is anyone else concerned that ubuntu 11.04 might be going in the wrong direction? [14:14] hi [14:14] ...home: one more doubt, how can i find that in which time zone are i am? [14:14] testig: this isn't really the place for such a discussion. [14:15] gnubala, type 'date' in a terminal window [14:15] nicofs: That is if you have a another very simular system on the LAN. [14:15] is there a code autocomplete or hint plugin for vim....like a ide? [14:15] sipior: my apologies. [14:15] gnubala, but like i said...the change I suggested to the /etc/timezone file will only take effect after a reboot [14:15] testig: none needed [14:15] ..home: ya ya [14:16] i love my ubuntu [14:16] gnubala: download global clock from ubuntu software center and add what cities you want [14:16] sudipta: #vim [14:16] gnubala, there ya go.... bob__ has an even better suggestion than mine [14:16] what is the best php IDE that i can use under the ubuntu enviromnent? [14:16] sipior: I was just concerned since unity seems to still be quite unstable on my computers. [14:16] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: eclipse [14:17] thanks enav === chou is now known as Guest45808 [14:17] testig: you're aware that you're using an unstable release, right? [14:17] c0d3r_C_c0d3r, personally, I like Quanta Plus better than Eclipse for PHP, but I prefer Eclipse as an all around IDE [14:17] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: this is a complete tour http://help.joomla.org/files/eclipse_webinar_controller.swf [14:17] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: dude eclipse kick ass so much [14:18] hehe [14:18] bob__: Its not appear in ubuntu software center [14:18] sipior: I'm using it under 10.10 ... I realise that it will progress, but... as I said, just concerned. [14:18] does anybody uses gEDA? [14:18] enav: how do you sent me that message, is there any IRC command that i have to type? [14:18] i've edited vsftpd conf file setting chroot_local_user=YES, but i still can't login with local accounts, it says login incorrect. I also added a user to test but problem persists. What's wrong? [14:19] gnubala: let me check, I have it [14:19] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: what are you talking about [14:19] bob__: am using ubuntu 10.04 [14:19] that message that your are writing to me is highlighted [14:19] ho [14:19] gnubala: sorry gworldclock [14:19] if the IRC program detect your name in the message it do that [14:20] aha thanks [14:20] bob__: ya i got it. [14:20] enav thanks [14:20] when you say enav it make a sound on mime [14:20] enav hi [14:20] general Q - is there a ubuntu distro appropriate for running a Virtualization server on ~5 year old PC hardware? [14:20] c0d3r_C_c0d3r hi [14:20] you should install eclipse and install xdebug [14:21] xdebug is a php debugger [14:21] fluitfries: i would think the LTS server install would be perfectly fine. [14:21] sipior: i am a newb, do you know if it supports easy pkg install of VM hosting software? [14:21] i have to OS installed, i make php applications under MAC OS X using Coda editor [14:22] fluitfries: well, which were you planning on using? [14:22] i really to find such an editor under ubuntu [14:22] sipior: i have always wanted to try Xen, but not sure what else is out there. [14:22] hope to [14:22] when I start a terminal from 10.04 desktop, I find that ~/.bashrc gets sourced, but /etc/profile does not. It used to in 8.04 [14:22] bob__: one more thing i have updated my system before 1 week after that i am facing that issue when i am installing any package there is an information coming that the software is not authenticated would you like to continue? (y/N) [14:22] like these... [14:22] eclipse is crossplatform [14:22] I installed Ubuntu on a USB HD. I apparently didn't install Grub on the external. Is there a way for me to add grub to the USB HD from Windows XP? [14:23] fluitfries: Xen's a fine choice. KVM is another option, have a look here: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page [14:23] yes i know, cause it is programmed with java [14:23] !grub2 > Death_FC [14:23] Death_FC, please see my private message [14:23] thanks ikonia [14:23] bob__: now itself i cant install that gworldclock its not agree me to install what is the problem? [14:23] sipior: thanks for your help. :) [14:23] Death_FC: Easiest way is probably to do it using a liveCD [14:23] fluitfries: sure thing [14:23] enav thanks any way [14:23] gnubala: I am not sure. I am a user, not an expert - I only comment on what I have done. [14:24] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: let me give you a tutorial to install xdebugger [14:24] How do I get ubuntu 10.04 to source /etc/profile when I start a terminal from the desktop? [14:24] terry, i managed to reinstall everything from /var/cache/apt/archives ... system works again... [14:24] (so far) [14:24] ringlej: it sources your local bash profile files [14:24] enav yes i hope so [14:24] nicofs: Or just: tar czf dpkg-gz /var/lib/dpkg #And copy the file over. [14:24] bob__: oh ok do you have any idea? [14:24] might there a quick and easy way to invert the phase on all audio on ubuntu? [14:24] I know. But I want it to source the system wide /etc/profile [14:24] nicofs: Ok, very good. Glad you figured it out. [14:25] gnubala: for gworldclock ok to say yes, I did (using 10.10) [14:25] ikonia: or some system wide file [14:25] ringlej: invoke a login shell. have a look at the INVOCATION section of the bash man page. [14:25] c0d3r_C_c0d3r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569309 [14:25] enav got it [14:25] huu [14:25] ringlej: /etc/bash.bashrc is likely what you want, then.

[14:32] psymin: Your best bet would be radeon since they have very good open drivers [14:32] with Ubuntu One, i would be able to boot my OS from USB and use the cloud to pull my entire OS's profile and contents down for access? or do i have this wrong? [14:32] soreau, the open drivers are an option, but they don't compare to the binary ones [14:32] nicofs: Use ssh -X to start vino-preferences then [14:33] psymin: Yes, they do ;) [14:33] is there a way to find out when the last apt-get upgrade happened? [14:33] soreau, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_driver_q111&num=2 [14:33] jiffe98: check /var/log/apt directory/files [14:34] oCean i cannot enter the php channel it redirects me to ##overflow [14:34] soreau, as far as i can tell, the host is running ubuntu-minimal at most... is that a problem?

[14:39] unless you can disable it in the BIOS [14:40] at least .. that is what I've heard [14:40] psymin: Ohhh, you mean a switchable gpu mobo? [14:40] Yes [14:40] <[1]Jake> Hello Everyone.

[14:56] I've got 3 things avaliable from entire network [14:56] dyd: ctrl was added in graphical mode just to make a difference since alt+f1 and f2 are gnome shortcuts :D [14:56] i have to set permissions to a folder (777) for a specific user, how can i do that? [14:56] mynameistux, 'sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf' | grep workgroup' in !terminal [14:56] I reckon 2 of them are NAS [14:56] oh, i see [14:57] mynameistux, er without the ' after .conf [14:57] dyd: chmod changes permissions, chown changes owner... do you need more details?

[14:58] ok i think i've done correctly then [14:58] that command made the terminal hang [14:58] troulouliou: is HD still working after it freezes, sometimes UI just freezes but files are being transfered [14:58] but when i login with ftp i still can't upload files [14:58] no it stops too [14:58] hi guys, im running a regular update and the system update software tells me that some packages are NOT AUTHENTICATED, i looked them up and one is "linux-image-2.6.32-30-generic" now my question is: is it possible? such an important package is not authenticated? that sounds weird to me, anyone?

[14:59] ruan: let me see [14:59] io: That command is malformed. why not just: grep workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf [14:59] yeah [14:59] troulouliou: does this always happens or just when using graphical UI to copy files? [14:59] it's the right workgroup [14:59] it's called WORKGROUP [14:59] I'm having issues getting wireless to pick up via command line.

[15:00] Pici, er gedit I see [15:00] tjader: sometimes... updates refer to some core packages... (I think) [15:00] io: Firstly: sudo gedit (you should use gksudo for all graphical apps) 2. gedit is an interactive program, its not going to send anything to stdout to be grepped. 3. gedit is a graphical app. [15:00] tjader: im not sure, but i think it only installs major updates [15:01] how to get pdf file on external disk into ubuntu on virtual machine [15:01] ? [15:01] io: yah , s/gedit/cat/ would have fixed it though.

But if you have setup networking correctly in the virtual machine, you could scp the pdf to the virtual machine [15:02] sarthor: if you have more than 3.6 you need 64bit to be able to use that fully [15:02] using dell 5010 [15:03] 3.6? processor or Ram?

[15:03] troulouliou: Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu. [15:03] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: because update has something to do with authentication [15:03] !sysrq | troulouliou [15:03] troulouliou: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [15:03] After rebooting I get a console, and the screen goes black after a while [15:03] sarthor: ram... 32bit and 64bit refers to processor register size. registers are used to address memory so you need 64bit support in order to address memory space above 3.6GB [15:04] tjader:Brain! [15:04] oCean: on computer I see only file system dir [15:04] ruan, MeanEYE Yea. i have 4 GB. so then i am going to install 64bit. Will that be better than 32bit? what iwll be difference? [15:04] Brain?

[15:31] ah [15:31] sysirq [15:31] dyd: just to be on the safe side, try reloging... but I doubt === phoque_uni is now known as phoque [15:32] just press print and work [15:32] hey [15:32] Krycek: my recollection is that, by default, ufw has no rules set. had you set any firewall rules? [15:32]  [15:32] will Firefox 4 appear in the automatic updates some day? [15:32] phoque: no [15:32] phoque: if you don't add ppa, no [15:33] oCean, according to the log, i did - maybe with the wrong command - what do i have to type... [15:33] Oh, ok [15:33] MeanEYE, doesn't change the problem... [15:33] nicofs: sudo service apache2 restart [15:33] reboot [15:33] so 11.04 or 11.10? [15:33] oCean, used that, will do again [15:33] sipior: yes using etherape to see ports to deny incoming traffic, but is there something more optional out there? [15:33] when I minimie a screen I can see some sqaures coming down ... in No graphics effect mode [15:33] how do I change this ? [15:34] Krycek: more optional? do you even have ports open? [15:34] and im being ctcp version every time i log inn to freenode <.< [15:35] !iptables | Krycek [15:35] Krycek: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [15:35] Krycek: thats normal. [15:35] !firestarter [15:35] sipior: thanks, will look into it [15:35] juk: firestarter is being deprecated, use gufw instead. [15:36] Pici: ah, thanks, i rely on my router though [15:36] how can I tell if my system needs restart after update? [15:36] maninthemiddle: if the shutdown button turns red [15:36] maninthemiddle: top right [15:36] maninthemiddle: also, if you update things related to the kernel [15:37] Pici: everytime is that normal? [15:37] Krycek: yes, i get it too [15:37] ruan I'm on a headless box [15:37] maninthemiddle: ah [15:37] Krycek: Yes. see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect or ask in #freenode for more info [15:37] when i try to turn on highliging in vim with :syntax on i get this error: Sorry, the command is not available in this version [15:38] any idea how to fix this? [15:38] maninthemiddle: kernel updates then [15:38] ruan: just because you get it to doesn't mean its normal ;) [15:38] Krycek: everyone gets it, and its from the server [15:38] Krycek: Please join #freenode for more info, its not something that has anything to do with Ubuntu [15:38] well, when I log in via ssh, it usually tells me if I need restart (in hello message) [15:38] but how can I print it out myself? [15:39] Pici: let me quote: Occasionally, a cracker will use CTCP VERSION to try to determine if your client is vulnerable to attack. Update your client regularly to avoid security problems, and don't be too worried unless they're doing more than just CTCP VERSION, or doing it over and over. [15:39] got it [15:39] why does ubutntu have vimrc when vim is not installed? [15:39] thats why highlighting was not working [15:39] Krycek: Its not on-topic for this channel. Please take it up with #freenode [15:39] nah [15:39] dont care [15:39] Krycek: Then stop talking about it here. [15:39] :) [15:39] people should know [15:40] 大家好!!

[15:48] Hi, I just "lost" my system disk and want to go with a system running from USB for now. If I create a USB stick from the live CDs (Desktop/Netbook Editions), is the resulting USB stick a full system, i.e. are system changes (changes to /etc, additional installed packages) permanent, or is this just a USB live system, where all changes happen in RAM and are lost on reboot (except /home, which can be permanent)? [15:48] dyd: you set owner with `chown user:group -R folder` and then permissions `chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx -R folder` [15:48] coz_, yes [15:48] jjp: chgrp [15:48] jjp: thank you, that's what i missed [15:48] dyd: or as jjp said :group [15:49] Abhijit, mm i would suggest the #grub channel ,,, I dont know grub2 well enough to be confident giving solutions [15:49] Deepthroat, sysstem changes will NOT be permanent. it is a live operatin system.

[15:51] RubenAlonzo, I dont normally work with netbook however the command to reset gnome would be sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart X [15:51] after holding shift key my ubuntu is NOT showing the grub menu. only one os. grub2. lucid. HELP [15:52] or should i just do a fresh install? but i will try that coz_ [15:52] thank you [15:52] coz_, do you konw the setting to make grub show by default permanently? that is shift key is not required? [15:53] RubenAlonzo, fresh installs are always on option ..or last resort..just be sure the cd is not corrupted by running the test on the cd [15:53] Abhijit, not really but let me check [15:53] Hi [15:54] hi pedro,are you spanish? [15:54] no austrian [15:54] Abhijit: edit /etc/default/grub . It's the values: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [15:54] Abhijit: Then to run sudo update-grub === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [15:55] If apt wants to install libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx does this mean that X server si also installed?

[16:04] !ot [16:04] #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! [16:04] hi I'm having a major server crisis can anyone help?... earlier I dropped my server and one of the HDD's came disconnected...I connected it back and it seemed to work fine, but then i noticed some filesystem corruption later... like user and group missing for loads of data.. I restarted server, and now it wont start..its spewing disk errors.. I can boot off the second drive though... what I'm trying to do is run fsck on t [16:04] ubottu thnx <3 [16:05] I seem unable to boot while the bad drive is connected, no matter which way round the two drivers are connected [16:05] sh4d0w [16:05] if I disconnect the bad drive and boot off the good drive, how can i run fsck on the bad drive? [16:06] do I have to just accept the bad drive is gone, and replace it? [16:06] perl.... one place of access is System / Disk utility [16:06] ok [16:06] boot from a cd you mean? [16:06] intermedite user here [16:06] disk utility has a disk check command i believe [16:06] there must be a way of dealing with such a situation where a drive is bad, but still being able to boot with it connected from a good drive? [16:07] gal900: what's the actual problem [16:07] perlmonkey: the two disks were mirrored? [16:07] perlmonkey, well you could yes boot from the cd and try using the disk utility.. i have never tried it that way...also if you have a usb connector from your drive to usb would work [16:07] with repair no doubt [16:07] perlmonkey: You might try to boot from good drive, use external hd enclosure to power up bad drive after boot. Then maybe something like ddrescue to make an image of the drive if you need to salvage things [16:07] sipior exactly [16:07] perlmonkey: remove the bad drive ? [16:07] Would anyone be able to help me with a problem compiling gtk+ 3.0.5? [16:07] ikonia yes i can remove it, but im trying to repair it [16:07] GenericBox, not me :) I have not ventured there yet:) [16:08] perlmonkey: ok, so replace grub with a re-install on the good drive that only looks at the good drive [16:08] genii-around thanks [16:08] perlmonkey: (as in re-apply grub to the good drive) [16:08] but... [16:08] hey, you guys, i can't still get sound after something. so, any ideas? [16:08] !sound | jumoit [16:08] jumoit, please see my private message [16:08] hi ikonia -- it is perlmonkey has the issue [16:08] if the bad drive is connected to system, won't that still spew errors no matter what? [16:09] perlmonkey: no [16:09] ok [16:09] perlmonkey: put grub on the good drive, point grub at the good drive, make sure your bios is booting off the good drive, no problems at all [16:09] coz_, genii-around yes it worked. thanks [16:09] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=91864b7314a8b560167637896250e64f1f887242 [16:09] Abhijit, very cool :) [16:09] i will try it [16:10] Abhijit: Glad to help [16:10] how to convert flv to mp4?

[16:13] coz: no, just a new firefox and flashplayer [16:13] I think he is shootting for gtk3 [16:13] GenericBox: depends what your c++ wants [16:13] thanks ikonia :) [16:14] K1ng: ? [16:14] thanks llutz :) [16:14] ikonia: Simple GUI ability to play around with while I learn the language. [16:14] K1ng: mencoder < you said that [16:14] K1ng: ahh, welcome [16:14] GenericBox: you need to look at what your c++ applications require, then install that [16:14] Hi does anyone know a how to to migrate from empathy to pidgin?

Downloaded all the other libs for images fonts and what not. Just get this error on the final make [16:16] GenericBox: why are you trying to use gtk3 [16:16] GenericBox: use the version that is installed in ubuntu [16:16] ikonia: Because I'm a noob. and Googled GUI for C++ :) [16:17] hello! iv installed 10.04 netbook on my qbex nbook, first install ok, after the first apt-get update / upgrade the system boots, but keyboard and mouse stopped working. usb mouse works fine, how do i get back control to the system?

[16:27] trism, yes its the one i was looking for .thank you. :-) === maelstrom is now known as Guest11316 [16:28] Can anyone tell me how I might find if I am using a 32-bit computer or a 64-bit? [16:28] is there a terminal command? [16:29] pitlimit: cat /proc/cpuinfo and search for "lm" in the flags. Might also do this in command: cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep lm [16:29] :-o [16:29] no [16:29] pitlimit, do uname -a in terminal; [16:30] thank you [16:30] pitlimit: that is the os, right, not the hardware [16:30] If I'm setting up a multiboot system, should I install the bootloader to a partition or to the disk on each install... [16:30] * Abhijit is confused too!!! [16:30] pitlimit: do you want to know if your cpu has 64 bit capabilities, or if your OS is 32/64 bit? [16:31] gbear14275: to the boot disk [16:31] Abhijit: The uname method will tell you if you are running a 32bit or 64bit KERNEL. The cat /proc/cpuinfo method will tell you if you have a 64bit capable CPU. [16:31] different questions [16:31] Pumpkin-, that i know [16:31] i m confuse as what 'he' wanted to know [16:31] erUSUL: so each successive install will copy over the bootloader? [16:31] Abhijit: indeed, hence my question [16:31] oh sorry, I thought you asked the question. My bad :) [16:32] yeah [16:32] Abhijit: actuall, you told me about the diff in uname and cpuinfo, not too long ago :) [16:32] ikonia, do you know any guide or something to make my ubuntu faster?i already disabled and minimized compiz. [16:32] is Xfailsafe exactly the same as the "Ubuntu Desktop Edition (safe mode)" on the login screen? [16:32] oCean, lol u still remembers it! :-D === pa|rty is now known as pastubbs [16:33] oCean: can you update me on the difference? [16:33] I want to know if I use a 64-bit number if it will be one instruction or two [16:34] pitlimit: well, uname tells you about your current operating system. The info in /proc/cpuinfo tells you about the hardware (-capabilities). But I'm still not sure what you want to know [16:34] :-) [16:35] oCean, I'm using bit manipulation in a code to optimize the code. Unfortunately, I"m using a 64-bit int and in order for there to be speedup, obviously I want the instruction to process the entire 64-bit int in one instruction [16:36] Is there any way to tell how my instruction set will handle the 64-bit number? [16:36] hi guys, ive just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my fujitsu-siemens amilo pro v3505 and everything works perfectly except the wireless, could anybody help me please? i found one or two guides on the web but the refer to old gutsy or feisty and i tried them but without any success. please please please :D [16:36] Abhijit: what is your hardware specification [16:37] on one of my laptops with 10.10 upon restart (requested by autoupdate), I am back to a terminal login, not the ubuntu splash; what could have happened? [16:37] when i cat/proc/cpuinfo, i get cache_alignment 64 and clflush size 64.... is that good news for me? [16:37] pitlimit, to know the technicakl details of ur cpu look your cpu's fact sheet or manual. [16:37] jule... try set up new connection and use command title -- wlan0 as title === gaurav__ is now known as Guest73810 [16:37] pitlimit: search for "lm" in the "flags" session.

Thanks in advance for any help === Guest73810 is now known as GauravButola [16:38] right click the connection manager thingy uptop bar [16:38] does that mean it's safe to assume the speedup will occur? [16:38] pitlimit: in that case your cpu has 64 bit capabilities. Use uname -m > if it returns x86_64, you also have 64bit OS [16:38] gal900: ??? [16:38] well ... let me word it right [16:38] any luck [16:39] pitlimit: I have no real answer on your question, I'm not a programmer [16:39] it returns i686 [16:39] like ethernet broadband/dsl is automatic [16:39] gal900: the problem is the wifi button i read [16:39] pitlimit: so it's 32bit OS version [16:39] Abhijit: youre machine should be quite quick, at what point is it slow [16:39] for wireless i have found right click where the ethernet connection little icon is.... [16:39] right click that to set up new connection... [16:40] thanks [16:40] Enable networks / wlan... [16:40] (wireless local area network [16:40] to title your new connection = type in wlan0 [16:40] ikonia, at whole boot process seems a bit slow & after login it takes little long to load desktop. and while opening any software it needs a more long time [16:40] then type in the name of your netowrk li [16:41] Abhijit: ok, could you run some tests for me please. [16:41] hey guys. is it possible to use a non-biometric storage device (such as a flash drive) to authenticate root, etc, like CACs? [16:41] like linksys99 whatever it is as SSID [16:41] ikonia, yeah tell me [16:41] if on WEP or WPA you need the passphrase which is security key [16:42] Abhijit: I'd like you to reboot, and the first thing you do when you login, is open a terminal and type "top", now go about your day, when it goes "slow" have a look at that window and tell me what the cpu % numebers are at (just jot them down and tell me) [16:42] if at No Security you can also set to start automatically [16:42] gal900: can we pm? [16:42] or with your own Network as automatic connection each start up [16:43] ikonia, ok sure. and by go about your day you mean i observe it for a whole day and then reply you right? [16:43] trying to locate pm.. [16:43] private message [16:43] can someone link me to the 10.10 64bit notebook link? [16:43] Abhijit: no, just do what you wanted to do on the machine as a "normal" day, everytime it goes slow, note down the cpu numbers [16:43] i dont understand much here with all these coloured writings [16:43] SightUp: it's on ubuntu.com [16:43] if we pm ill clear my ideas [16:43] ikonia, oh okay sure [16:43] i cannot find it [16:44] Abhijit: make a note of what you where doing at the time, and the % numbers then let me know [16:44] ikonia, there are this much %s Cpu(s): 4.1%us, 4.1%sy, 0.3%ni, 91.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st which one to look for among then? [16:44] them* [16:45] Abhijit: the id , us and sy are the 3 I'm interested in [16:45] ikonia, ok. i will do it right now. and will reply you soon. rebooting now. [16:46] can anyone link me please? [16:48] SightUp: Not sure there is a 64 bit netbook edition, http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ doesn't show one [16:48] will the 32 bit ed show all 4 gigs? [16:48] I've moved across to Evolution, and I can't get it to stay open. I can minimise it, but when I go to put it in the background, it closes. It happens with gwibber as well.

[17:06] rots [17:07] is linux more secure then mac [17:07] yes [17:07] how [17:07] earlier someone told me that if i type uname -m it would show if my processor is 64 bit [17:08] I know for a fact that my underlying process is 64 bits, yet when i type uname -m, I get i386 [17:08] raylee: google linux vs mac security [17:08] ok [17:08] pitlimit, it shows what you're running. [17:08] pitlimit: no..that shows your kernel is 32bit or 64bit.. [17:08] wait... so my kernel can be different than my underlying processor? [17:09] That's ridiculous then if I have a 64-bit processor and a 32-bit kernel? [17:09] A AMD64 processor can run a x86-bit kernel indeed. [17:09] my webcam studios dosen't work very well [17:09] pitlimit: no problem [17:09] pitlimit: not so..many people do so.. [17:09] But a x86-only processor will never run a 64bits problem [17:09] Daekdroom: isn't i386 a 32-bit kernel? [17:09] pitlimit: it's sensible, they are backward compatible [17:09] pitlimit, i386 implies 32-bit, yeah. [17:09] pitlimit: correct [17:09] so my processor is being wasted [17:09] Not necessarily. [17:09] I removed transmission via apt-get remove transmission, but it didn't remove. Is transmission bittorrent client under a different name? [17:09] pitlimit: no.. lol [17:09] pitlimit: not at all [17:10] my ubuntu distro been having alot of flash problems [17:10] pitlimit: 64bit is if you want to use more than 3.2 GB of RAM.. [17:10] raylee: crashes? [17:10] yea [17:10] my FF [17:10] A 64-bits system might spend more RAM and will only see performance increases in specific situations like compiling, encoding, etc [17:10] and google croume [17:10] crashes alot [17:10] kerneloops_: thats not the only reason to run 64bit either.. [17:10] okay the reason why I want to check for 64-bits is because I need an instruction to process 64-bits at a time else my program is not optimized [17:10] Can someone please help me sort this out? [17:11] raylee: disable hardware acceleration right click youtube video and disable it [17:11] anyone uses email clients do they download every mail ? [17:11] nishant_: depends how you set it up [17:11] raylee: right click settings and uncheck acceleration [17:11] what does that do [17:11] nishant_: POP? yes [17:11] right [17:11] nishant_, you can specify the setting [17:11] nishant_: normal IMAP? no [17:11] fine [17:11] can someone please explain to me how do I know if 64-bits are processed at once on my processor vs. 32? [17:11] this hardware thing [17:11] nishant_: Disconnected/Offline IMAP? yes [17:11] in one instruction, that is [17:12] raylee: do you have any addon installed related with flashcookies? [17:12] i just wish to download the new mails and max 2 days old [17:12] i have no script [17:12] pitlimit: do you want to know whether you have a 64bit cpu or whether you have a 64bit or 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU? [17:12] and ad block [17:12] raylee: ok no problem.. [17:12] I have a 64bit cpu [17:12] !enter [17:12] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[17:12] raylee, ^ [17:12] maco i get i386 [17:12] i have 500 GB of RAM [17:12] pitlimit: then you're running 32bit ubuntu [17:12] that's HDD === droid is now known as Guest61898 [17:12] lol [17:12] oops [17:13] 4GB [17:13] * drc boggles at 500GB of RAM [17:13] what client do you use ? [17:13] pitlimit: that should be i686 not i386.. [17:13] is the andriod uses linux [17:13] bonjoyee: it really doesn't matter [17:13] pitlimit: ok you should use 64bit version or 32 with PAE kernel. [17:13] maco, what client do you use ? [17:13] nishant_: quassel [17:13] nishant_: er, oh you mean for email :P [17:13] nishant_: i use kmail [17:13] ok so now I am running my Ubuntu in VMware on top of another computer [17:13] yeah ohhh [17:14] that other computer has uname -m as i386 too [17:14] pitlimit: it doesn't matter [17:14] nishant_: i use DIMAP though, which caches all of the mail but makes it sync on the server so i can use webmail and have it match [17:14] even if I install Ubuntu 64-bit, will i get screwed? [17:14] nishant_: im not sure if regular IMAP would let you say to only download recent messages [17:14] meaning it won't matter if I install 64-bit Ubuntu because the underlying OS is a 32-bit kernel? [17:14] pitlimit: what do you mean? [17:14] pitlimit: if your vmware host is 32bit you can't run a 64bit kernel [17:14] my os host has a 64-bit processor, but is running a 32-bit kernel [17:14] pitlimit: yes, so it's "32bit" [17:15] ikonia: one can in virtualbox...not sure about vmware.. [17:15] ok maco it a bit confusing [17:15] I keep having an issue with Evolution running in the background on my x64 install. On my 32-bit install, it minimises into the tray and notifies me when I have email, but on x64, I have to keep it open for it to notify me, and its clutting up my taskbar. Any ideas? [17:15] bonjoyee: are you sure about that in virtualbox, [17:15] nishant_: the way normal IMAP works, it just pulls the From and the Subject and shows you them. if you click, then it downloads the rest of the email [17:15] ikonia: 100%..i use it..but the cpu has to support it.. [17:16] bonjoyee: and your host is running a 32bit OS ? [17:16] ikonia: harware virtualization .... [17:16] hi salut [17:16] bonjoyee: no, the host [17:16] ikonia: yes...not now...but have done so earlier.. [17:17] will lucid and onwards will smoothly install and run on 10 year old p4 desktop?

Now, if I were to go ahead and install the ubuntu 64-bit OS, an instruction should be 64-bits long, right?

In the past when I've tried to get on one of our file servers, it just auto authenticates because I'm logged in as *that* domain user. Now I can't do that. Any thoughts? [18:22] where is paulina from? [18:22] Another question -- iPhones would use what app? [18:22] intrader: Spain probably [18:22] Roasted_, revert the changes :p [18:22] candyban, revert what changes. [18:22] candyban, it _almost_ worked... for a second, it was visible on the remote machine... [18:23] Roasted_, if at one point it worked and now it doesn't ... it means something changed [18:23] erUSUL, she would have writte 'que' instead of 'ke' - I think that she is look for romantic connection. [18:23] candyban, I had it working on a separate server. [18:23] candyban, "** ERROR **: Failed to register GObject with DBusConnection" [18:23] candyban, this is a different server. I'm just getting it set up. The only thing I did on the other Ubuntu box was add it to the domain. And uh. That's what I did here... yet it requires me to authenticate EACH time I connect, whcih is a pita. [18:23] intrader: you know SMS have done a lot of damage to proper grammar/ortography XXDD [18:24] erUSUL, it appears so [18:24] nicofs, ... perhaps you should check in xubuntu [18:25] Starminn, first page "http://imagebin.org/144882" and other software "http://imagebin.org/144884" [18:25] make: *** No rule to make target `install'.

[18:27] aakshay: Okay. Sorry, the Unity interface threw me off. [18:27] zxiest, you pray to god the Makefile gets properly generated ;) [18:27] Starminn, :)... np [18:27] Well... autoconf worked and I got a configure.. [18:27] just running ./configure now [18:27] Home: i doubt there are ubuntu-specific tuts. use the general ones for your preferred language [18:28] Has anyone had trouble with PloP bootmanager before? I'm trying to boot ubuntu (lubuntu) from USB on an old laptop that can't boot directly from USB. But when I select "USB," PloP fails. This method has been verified to work on another old PC. Any ideas? [18:28] Anybody, perhaps security on my main laptop is compromised, I'd like guidance - first thing I noticed is that in my main laptop running xampp I could no longer login. I then noticed in that laptop the auto-update from the update manager, I went ahead, noticed it needed to reboot. Upon reboot I got terminal screen wishing login - I believe I should NOT login. [18:28] hey guys can u help me get the adobe flash player working [18:28] ? [18:28] Starminn, there may be problem with apt/sources.list? [18:28] LLUTZ say whot????? [18:28] i dont know what's wrong some of videos required divx to play [18:29] is there any solution that those videos i can see on ubuntu player [18:29] is there a kernel parameter to disabled sound completely? I really don't like having to blacklist a ton of sound modules.. [18:29] aakshayI think it's the same thing. That's just a frontend, what we did, but I could be wrong. IT is worth a shot [18:30] thanks ikonia [18:30] d1rty, why disable sounds in the kernel? ... just don't start alsa ... or mute it [18:30] When I attempt to play a movie (specifically .avi) through Totem I just get a blank white rectangle in place of any video, any help? [18:30] aakshay: It just seems like something with the Universe repository is throwing it off. If you find anything funky in there, play around a little bit. [18:30] sound preferences are not working good on my DELL Vostro 1510, anyone else ? [18:30] d1rty, also make sure to disable the pcspkr module [18:32] candyban: because i want to disable sound.... [18:32] there are a couple options listed in modinfo snd [18:32] i'm going to try snd.disable=1 [18:32] is it pretty easy to customize the installation of ubuntu kind of like kickstart? [18:32] Starminn, let me play and try something.. here is my source.list "http://paste.ubuntu.com/585520/" [18:33] d1rty, if you hate the "beep" at the console ... it does not stop by disabling the sound [18:33] Starminn, please tell me something if i can do? [18:33] candyban: look bro, this is a server [18:33] i just don't want to load crap I don't need [18:33] !remaster | bfrog [18:33] bfrog: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [18:33] I ran the update manager on a clean install and it hangs on "Configuring grub-pc". Now what do I do? [18:33] you're obviously having a hard time thinking about why someone wouldn't want sound at all [18:33] but thanks for your input [18:34] does it have to be a cd? kickstart can use tftp really easy === carlos is now known as Guest52522 [18:35] I ran the update manager on a clean install and it hangs on "Configuring grub-pc". Now what do I do? [18:35] d1rty, If you're worried about bloat, then why don't you just compile your own kernel with only the required modules? [18:35] yeah the stock kernels are fine [18:35] don't really want to take the time [18:35] looks like that parameter worked in that it didnt load actual devices [18:35] however soundcore is still loaded [18:35] but i'll just blacklist it [18:35] good enough :) [18:36] aakshay: All of your "main" repos say something about being restricted whereas mine do not. [18:36] I've lost notes while working in tomboy(computer freezing) [18:36] d1rty, if it is a server, it will probably not produce sound anyways ... and since you do not have alsa etc installed (since you hate bloat) ... I wonder what is the point [18:36] aakshay: http://paste.ubuntu.com/585528/ [18:36] I've lost notes using tomboy notes while computer froze. Is there any way to recover these notes [18:37] d1rty, like I said soundcore will only disable your "soundcard" sound ... not the beeper on the motherboard (which can still produce very ennoying sounds) [18:37] BestKeptSecret: ~/.local/share/tomboy [18:38] i know all about pcspkr thanks [18:38] :) [18:38] BestKeptSecret: But if the system gets shut off before they have the chance to be saved then the backups won't likely be there. [18:38] Starminn, oic [18:38] worth a look [18:38] Can anyone help me, this is the state that my computer is stuck in: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3678 [18:38] Please? [18:38] Clicking on "Forward" does nothing. [18:39] BestKeptSecret: If they're not there also try ~/.tomboy if that exists [18:39] d1rty, k ... but please enlighten my why you want to disable sound on your server? (genuinely interested curious as I never gave it any thought) [18:39] free up a few mb of ram [18:39] who needs sound on a server? [18:40] Starminn, yes "main" is restricted at lot of places. can i copy your or may update mine according to your sources.list? [18:40] also remove parport, lp and some others... firewire junk [18:41] sound can be useful on a server when harddsic is getting full [18:41] pedro: that's nagios' job [18:41] whats the defailt init level for ubuntu 10.10 [18:41] i get a text messaage [18:41] think i sit by servers 24x7? [18:41] d1rty, never had the need of a "few mb" of ram on a server for a long time ... and when I did, I ran my custom kernels (which frees up a lot more than just a few mb) [18:41] LadyNikon: 6 [18:41] itaylor57: 6 is reboot [18:41] candyban: right, like i said though i'd rather a 5 minute optimization versus a new kernel :) [18:41] pedro: unlikely, server are mostly far far away in climated noisy rooms, nobody there to listen on a beep [18:42] aakshay: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and you're running 10.04 so I'd say no because of any nuances, but just go through there and edit out the "restricted" parts. Just to see if it makes a difference. [18:42] LadyNikon: just checking LOL [18:42] on my debian and freebsd machine i will build kernels [18:42] but ubuntu? shit no [18:42] itaylor57: since this is a help channel I would suggest not doing that [18:42] the whole point is the ease of getting up-and-running [18:42] !language d1rty [18:42] d1rty, anyways ... good to see some people are still motivated to get a few percent more out of their systems [18:42] Starminn, yes.. i am doing so.. then i will try.. :) [18:42] d1rty: watch your language please.. this is a pg13 channel [18:42] d1rty: the option is available though :) [18:42] ActionParsnip: aye [18:43] pg13 movies have about everything but actual genitalia these days [18:43] yeah what are you talking ab out LadyNikon [18:43] so really, you might as well make it g rated [18:43] d1rty, I gave up on that when I noticed it is cheaper to throw more hardware at it (clustering etc) [18:43] you should have said the second thing first, instead of your ! [18:43] d1rty: you cursing [18:43] candyban: yeah, this particular guy is a latitude with the lcd ripped off of it and no battery, lol [18:44] just wanted a bit more headroom for mysql [18:44] LadyNikon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_rating_system#Language [18:44] ActionParsnip, what does it take to become a more trusted regular help on this channel pls msg me [18:44] d1rty: you can use apt-build to compile apps using your deb-src repos. Feels like emerge in gentoo [18:44] d1rty, k ... frankenstein laptop as server ... :) [18:44] anyone know why my screen become pixilated and blured sometimes? [18:45] wesley, watching avi's that are highly compressed? [18:45] cheap vodka? [18:45] bfrog: i dont go to links from strangers === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [18:45] d1rty, makes me think of the days when I ran bare motherboard (without case) as my main pc [18:45] candyban: i have a few of them strewn about, theyre just nagios + cacti [18:45] wow, its wikipedia [18:45] anyways.. if he wants to get kicked out of her for cursing far be it from me to stop him/her [18:45] Barnabas: not sure, just help a lot I guess. It's all I did [18:45] lol LadyNikon ... it's wikipedia [18:45] hola [18:45] ActionParsnip, ok [18:45] LadyNikon, me either, unless there's candy involved [18:45] yay candy [18:45] Seven_Six_Two: heh [18:45] seven_six_two: no just not browsing like emails and stuff [18:45] only on freenode do you see activism by lamers regarding such ridiculousness as 'language' [18:45] so anyone know the default init level ? [18:46] you obviously haven't been around IRC for much of its history [18:46] aakshay: We have some different things, each, so I would just say (again) play around with it. Something will work. :) Now you know what you're looking for, though. [18:46] candyban: you can too. 2 words: water cooling [18:46] d1rty: lol @ lame trolling [18:46] d1rty: it's a channel rule, not a freenode rule [18:46] that's fine [18:46] well I'm just saying, its a G channel then, not a pg or pg13 [18:46] yeah, G [18:46] ActionParsnip, perhaps thats not that cool for ppl with extensive unix / linux knowledte able to help once in a while [18:46] if your going by mpaa definitions [18:46] because what i said is pg13 [18:46] Starminn, doing so.. :D.. but i hope something will nor went more weird.. :p [18:46] bfrog: i concede you are right [18:46] it's not "rated" anything, just don't swear, simple [18:47] ActionParsnip, my motherboard was laying on my desk ... not my aquarium :p ;) [18:47] Hi, I've got a problem: I've installed Alessio's lowlatency kernel on my other ubuntu desktop, so as to use it for sound recording. Problem is: since I've installed it, my wireless adapter seems to have gone bad, it will take ages to load a simple website. I know this isn't a problem with the adapter nor the network since it runs smoothly in both Windows and the Ubuntu live CD. [18:47] d1rty, language is the cornerstone of communication is the cornerstone of IRC. Cursing adds nothing useful. [18:47] what is this, the disney channel? [18:47] knowledge even [18:47] tsimpson: well then channel management should have quorum on the topic, because there are obciously discrepancies in various folks' understandings [18:47] Can we open a directory in Gnome from a terminal? like.. something like "nautilus ." maybe?? [18:47] oh wait, they have lots of suggestive imagery, so I suppose even that might offend some of you [18:47] Seven_Six_Two: i disagree with that.. i curse all the time in other channels.. I was just trying to keep him/her from getting booted for something as silly as cursing [18:47] Barnabas: shame, it makes the world go around [18:47] wow wow, now all the activists are acting up [18:47] yep [18:47] * d1rty walks away slowly === d1rty is now known as c1ean [18:48] * LadyNikon giggles @ Clean [18:48] d1rty: we do, it's that you just don't swear in here [18:48] LadyNikon, that's cool. I'm not offended by it (at all!) but in my opinion... [18:48] tsimpson: so ladynikon is obviously not a mamber of channel management [18:48] Caffeine: absolutely. If you need write access then prefix with gksudo [18:48] sorry for the assumption [18:48] tsimpson, d1rty, can we get back on topic please :) [18:48] c1ean: you're point?

[18:51] since mark hates gnome now [18:51] !offtopic [18:51] its #ubuntu right [18:51] bfrog: Natty is shipping with "GNOME classic" (what the default now is) [18:51] bfrog: #ubuntu-offtopic for that [18:52] bfrog: it's not support [18:52] wesley, what driver? what cable? what is your monitor's native resolution? have you tried a different cable? have you tried the monitor with a different computer? when did the corruption begin? [18:52] uhm, is there any way to prioritize network processing rather than sound processing? [18:52] bfrog: But yes, because it's not 'technically' support, offtopic is the place to be. Or #ubuntu+1 because that's what you're asking ti about [18:53] seven_six_two: its a laptop and all drivers are installed [18:53] !upstart [18:53] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[18:55] meh [18:55] clean, tyvm [18:55] sure' [18:55] wesley, does the corruption happen only after the computer has been on for a while? [18:55] seven_six_two: ive made sure that everything is installed correctly, for as much as i know [18:56] seven_six_two: no it happens when i do specific things, Email resize things like that, why you think its over heating [18:56] Hishi, you can also do prioritization with ip... but tc is probably the best way to go [18:56] Starminn: i dont see the point of visiting a channel for one trigger .. its a waste of time .. [18:56] wesley, what does glxinfo | grep direct return? [18:56] When I attempt to play a movie (specifically .avi) through Totem I just get a blank white rectangle in place of any video, any help? [18:56] LadyNikon: I always do "/msg ubottu !" [18:56] wesley, it could be. I've seen strange video artifacts due to overheating. [18:57] LadyNikon: In fact I did it before calling that because I wasn't 100% sure that was what the factoid was [18:57] clean, isn't tc only for network? I need to prioritize any input from my adapter rather than from my sound card [18:57] Starminn: ill try to remember it .. but my memory is horrible :( [18:57] Polah, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:57] aplay -l -> aplay: device_list:235 no soundcards found... [18:58] LadyNikon: Just remember "/msg ubottu" (literally, message the bot) and you'll get the rest. ;) [18:58] Hishi, ?? you asked for network prioritization ... [18:58] Seven_Six_Two: Yes, it worked before but now it doesn't.

[19:09] candyban: 169 MB of ram used on fresh boot now. not too shabby ;P [19:09] twitter is sooooo buggy [19:09] Pedro: i have low end nvidia and intel chips, works fine. I get the odd blip but only under natty so I deal, otherwise its fine [19:09] i guess firewire is tied in with networking, i'm not having luck disabling it [19:09] oh well [19:09] seven_six_two: no i havn't tried them, you know where,what i can get it [19:09] wesley, and if you haven't, blow your laptop out with compressed air. if you've never done it, you may have dustbunnies inside [19:09] c1ean, I started with a 2MB 386 which I had to "upgrade" to 4MB to run linux [19:09] pedro: If you really wanna know... http://pastebin.com/Lw6rGH2c [19:09] pedro, stop it. [19:09] lol [19:10] thank you [19:10] if I want to take a debian/ubuntu package and modify/rebuild it so its a newer version/has some custom patches where do I get the files to do that [19:10] the files used to make the .deb [19:10] Pedro: you'd have to contact the site admins if twitter is buggy [19:10] c1ean, how much is really used and how much is just fs cache ? [19:10] is there a source control repo somewhere with all that stuff? [19:10] pedro: That's my hardware. [19:10] !source | bfrog [19:10] bfrog: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [19:10] !packaging | bfrog also ask in #ubuntu-packaging [19:10] bfrog also ask in #ubuntu-packaging: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [19:10] wesley, sorry, I'm not sure. I think they should be in the repositories. if that's where you got your current driver from, then maybe try to install the one from the ati website [19:11] not that bad [19:11] c1ean, I have virtual servers running with 64 MB of RAM ... [19:11] Seven_Six_Two, ActionParsnip : adding sudo privileges to this command? [19:11] c1ean, so what is eating away your RAM? [19:11] HRezaei, no [19:11] how to run it with sudo? [19:11] HRezaei: will it run a graphical app? [19:12] ActionParsnip: yes [19:12] HRezaei, why would you want to run the jvm as root? [19:12] HRezaei: then prefix with: gksudo [19:12] candyban: legitimate stuff [19:12] c1ean, mysql running in RAM ? [19:13] apache, winbind, ntpd, nagios, sshd, and cacti [19:13] no, postfix also [19:13] ActionParsnip,: I ran gksudo java -jar /Programs/JAP.jar but doesn't work [19:13] no mysql on this one [19:13] oh, yeah it is there as well [19:13] smbd too [19:13] not bad for < 200MB [19:13] HRezaei: you could even make a launcher using the same command but i recommend using the full path to the jar file [19:14] HRezaei, is Programs a directory off the root of your filesystem? [19:14] HRezaei: is /Programs a folder in your home folder? [19:15] Seven_Six_Two, ActionParsnip : yes,it is in /home/hrezaei/Programs [19:15] hey i left an admin user logged in on tty1, how can i kill that login? [19:15] c1ean, I haven't had any server with less than 8GB in the last 4 years [19:15] anyone who knows a 3D benchmark program ? [19:15] taak: kill the getty, mgetty, or agetty running on it [19:15] does n900cell phone have irc? [19:15] X [19:16] inckie: I don't think glxgears would cut it, would it? [19:16] Dattebayo: yes, next time see #smartphone, #n900 or something like that [19:16] HRezaei: then it would be gksudo java -jar ~/Programs/JAP.jar [19:16] HRezaei, drop the / before Programs, or add a ~ before the / [19:16] c1ean: strange, i don't see a getty on tty1 [19:16] HRezaei: then the command is: gksudo java -jar /home/hrezaei/Programs/JAP.jar [19:16] 1157 tty1 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1 [19:16] taak for instance ^ [19:17] bjornredtail1: no, it's only for reporting FPS [19:17] would anyone know if a hard disk failure would prevent ubuntu booting it seems to freeze on the dots on plymouth on both the live disc and when I managed to get it installed I've checked verbose with no errors showing up any ideas folks ? [19:17] itaylor57: gksudo with ~ should pint to /root instead of /home/username [19:17] c1ean: don't see a getty on tty1. can I kill his /bin/login? [19:17] Seven_Six_Two, ActionParsnip : gksudo: invalid option -- 'j' [19:17] spanglesontoast, possibly bad RAM. have had that happen to me before [19:17] HRezaei: /Programs would put the containing folder at the root of the filesystem, not $HOME [19:18] iceroot: thanks, I just realized that [19:18] HRezaei, if that's JAP anonymity and privacy, you don't need sudo. [19:18] Hello [19:18] hello [19:18] DaPenguin, I've done memtest on it aswell [19:18] Getting an error that my aptdemon has got a programming error when I install new apps. What to do ? [19:18] i need to create some load on the GPU, in order to test it's stability. I had a laptop which shutdowns, and i think i saw "GPU overheaded" in the console, so i cleaned it, and it seems to be more stable, but i havn't really put any load on the GPU [19:18] HRezaei: you get the idea? [19:18] taak kill the shell he's using [19:18] Anyone have any info on building dmapd server on ubuntu 10.10 [19:18] inckie: Figured as much... There are some versions of the quake 3 engine that have some sort of benchmark [19:18] hi all .. anyone got netflix running in virtualbox and if so how is the video quality .. im tired of boot into windows just to watch a movie [19:18] overheated* [19:19] inckie: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/23965-13-quake-benchmarks-linux [19:19] spanglesontoast, well, the live CD doesn't touch the hdd, so it has to be something else causing it [19:19] inckie, glxgears ? [19:19] Any help ? [19:19] DaPenguin, could it be a bios setting ? [19:19] joeb_: should be fine [19:19] spanglesontoast, possibly [19:19] candyban: it's not for benchmarking [19:19] ActionParsnip have you tried it ? [19:20] when dual booting win7 what should i install first [19:20] inckie, you want load ... glxgears generates load [19:20] c1ean: yea i got it. i had to use kill -1 in order to get it to work [19:20] thx [19:20] lemonchickenftl: windows [19:20] lemonchickenftL: Windows [19:20] joeb_: i know a man who has. Seemed fine to me [19:20] ActionParsnip: yes It worked. thanks! [19:20] spanglesontoast, I've had issues with ACPI settings in the past as well, might want to check that out [19:20] lemonchickenftl: both working but first installing wndows doesnt need any further steps after [19:20] Instead of using mt-daap was wanting to use http://www.flyn.org/projects/dmapd/ [19:20] taak in the future, use pkill [19:20] does anyone know where to go for the ppa of libreoffice that's not up to date? [19:20] c1ean, how many hosts/services are you monitoring? [19:20] c1ean: why? [19:20] im needing to send mail using perl's Net::SMTP on a dev server.. but i haven't had any luck configuring postfix to get it to work. can anybody point me in the right direction? [19:20] i.e. pkill -KILL -u username [19:20] HRezaei: wtg :-) [19:21] candyban: but again it's not suited for stress test [19:21] DaPenguin, thanks for the heads up mate will have a look into that [19:21] it'll kill all of the users stuff :) [19:21] !postfix | BoulderDave [19:21] BoulderDave: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [19:21] it's not it's goal [19:21] c1ean: don't want to do that, i am logged in as the same user! [19:21] erUSUL, thank you :) [19:22] inckie, then why don't you just enable the "wobly windows" thingy? [19:22] I'd like to change my default WM. What's the right way to do this on Lucid? Some pages on the web have suggested it's possible to do this by choosing a "session" when I log in. I'm not seeing the option for this. I've tried changing .gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/ using both gconf-editor and emacs, but the setting reverts when I log out and log back in, leaving me with compiz. [19:22] inckie, or desktop cube and spin it around [19:22] BoulderDave: no problem [19:22] hi all, how do I connect to a printer on a network? [19:22] coventry, swap it at the login screen [19:23] DaPenguin: Not seeing an option for that at the login screen. What should I look for? [19:23] newbie01, System -> Administration -> Printers [19:23] coventry: press ALT+F2 and run: manager --replace (e [19:23] candyban, then what? [19:23] newbie01, have it search for the network printer [19:23] erUSUL, i dont have any domain pointing to this dev server though, is it still possible? [19:23] *(eg: metacity --replace) [19:23] coventry, type in your login name and it should have an option down at the bottom for which WM you want to use [19:24] BoulderDave: i think so; by relying to a "smarthost" ( another properly configured mailserver like gmail ) [19:24] coventry: Do you have other wm's installed? (besides gnome?) [19:24] DaPenguin: That's for Desktop Environments only, I think. I don't believe it does that for WMs. [19:24] just installed 10.04LTS in a dual boot environment. After install I was prompted to use or not use restricted drivers for my ATI 3450 Vid card... I choose yes and now the system won't boot.... Any ideas or docs related to this please and thanks [19:24] DaPenguin: don't confuse WM with DE ;-) [19:24] ActionParsnip: I want to change the *default*. I can start the WM from the CL easily enough... [19:24] BoulderDave: it it is a dev server it may be enlough with a simpler nullmailer like ssmtp ? [19:24] Hi, i'm looking for repositories of bash scripts, anyone has good addresses ? [19:24] DaPenguin: Thanks, will try. [19:25] te: Yes, I have been using sawfish, but I'm getting sick of starting it by hand when I log in. [19:25] true, but I'm pretty sure that's what he was looking for :) [19:25] !ssmpty | BoulderDave [19:25] GothCC: It booted up ok before? [19:25] !ssmpt | BoulderDave [19:25] candyban: gtkperf [19:25] ActionParsnip, what does ALT+F2 do and run: manager --replace do? [19:25] te: yup, no issues before-hand... worked like a charm [19:25] coventry: i always just add a startup item to run the command [19:25] GothCC: What happens now? [19:26] te: gets to the screen where it shows it loading and then just hangs there [19:26] any nice site that sums up answers to all the "what's the best application for ubuntu" questions you get? [19:26] te: How do I do that? [19:26] BoulderDave: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/ [19:26] !bestbot [19:26] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:27] intrader: nothing as it is, if you replace 'manager' with a WM then you will switch WM [19:27] GothCC: Screen goes black? Is there a flashing cursor anywhere? [19:27] how can I change dual boot menu to present windows7 first, Then ubuntu? [19:27] tasslehoff, best app for doing something all comes down to personal preference anyway [19:27] ActionParsnip, thanks [19:27] te: screen stays on the loading screen and no cursor anywhere [19:27] coventry: Install another WM? [19:27] tasslehoff: there is no single best app for any situation in any OS [19:27] te: ya know.. where it says Ubuntu and then has the little circles below it to show it is loading [19:28] GothCC: What happens if you hit the Esc key. [19:29] te: I then tried running the recovery kernel and running dpkg to update everything else including the kernel, that went perfect. But after I get the same thing happening... [19:29] te: It's sawfish specifically that I want to use. [19:29] What is the key we hit to get rid of the boot splash sceen to see actual boot messages? [19:29] te: didn't try to hit Esc. [19:29] Esc? [19:29] DaPenguin: ActionParsnip: I know. But there usually is a few that are "known good". stupid Q by me really. I'm looking for a twitter app and wanted to avoid asking the same as everyone else :p [19:29] coventry: Did you install sawfish yet? [19:29] Yes, I'm using it routinely. [19:30] nmap www.xo.com /*seems not to work for me [19:30] Hi guys, I'm trying to solve a hdd problem (caused by/in windows) using ubuntu (from a live cd): my aunt compressed the hdd, and now it won't boot from it. win xp is installed on the drive, and she compressed it using winxps own tool as the hdd was full and apparently windows suggested she could compress the drive to gain some more space [19:30] coventry: gdmsetup may be what you want... not sure, I just use gnome. [19:30] there is no message appearing when booting, it's just a black screen with a blinking dash [19:30] tasslehoff, look in the repo manager, and just try out a couple till you find one you like [19:30] can anyone try [19:31] I booted from the live cd and I can see the contents of the harddrive from ubuntu, but is it possible to decompress it, or something?

Same setup with out the GUI/network manager(/etc/openvpn/files and starting openvpn manually) works.... any help? [19:32] te: dumb question, how can I check that in ubuntu?

[19:43] ok [19:43] HRezaei, I don't [19:43] Rogerr, nano ~/.bashrc [19:43] intrader, or cat it to a pastebin and link it on the channel [19:43] zach: Fire up parted, delete the MS Windows partitions and expand the linux one(s). [19:44] abstrakt: so continue. [19:44] HRezaei, `greenlight, you should both familiarize yourself with setting up a basic web server as detailed by something like this http://rocksolidwebdesign.com/tutorials/guide-on-howto-apt-get-an-ubuntu-server/ [19:44] Liferea freezes all the time on the lifehacker feed -- is that normal? And how can I speed things up? [19:44] dose any one know how i can fully install ubuntu with out a disc or a usb? [19:44] intrader, it's located in /etc/X11/ normally [19:44] HRezaei, ubuntu has apache and php and mysql, there's no need for zend server [19:44] what is the syntax to be added? the executable is /usr/local/lib/moldenogl.linux and the name to call it is gmolden [19:44] HRezaei, in fact, IMO, using zend server on ubuntu is a *bad* idea [19:44] <`greenlight> thank you abstrakt [19:45] DaPenguin, I must log in into the bad one, no network, how do I copy and pastebin? [19:45] zach: maybe netinstall somehow? But you would need some sort of access to the system [19:45] zach: you have a running linux on that machine? [19:45] bront...same result [19:45] yes and windows [19:45] intrader, no network at all? [19:45] zach, yeah, you can do it using a server which would be overkill [19:45] zach use debootstrap [19:45] is there a cli command that I can use to see network usage? something that gives a plaint output of x kbps or y mpds [19:45] how do i do that [19:45] Rogerr, alias may look like: " alias easyfind='find . | grep -i -s -e ' " <- without double quotes [19:45] DaPenguin, not on that boot [19:46] intrader, hmm [19:46] AxAx: netstat -s [19:46] AxAx: ifstat [19:46] AxAx: netstat -s [19:46] I shall add this is the bashrc at the very end?

[19:47] HRezaei, `greenlight is a nickname of another user here on this channel [19:47] itaylor57, AxAx: ifstat updates with current bandwidth usage every few seconds, netstat just gives it at that time. [19:47] cannonfodder, a "launcher"? like a link to a terminal? [19:47] Hey all [19:47] Rogerr, after you write your alias and save the new .bashrc, you may want to "restart" it, the command is: . ~/.bashrc [19:47] tucemiux exactly...just like a windows shortcut [19:47] DaPenguin, what would it look like? [19:48] can som1 tell me how to force a certain resolution [19:48] i just need to command that will launch terminal [19:48] Polah: yes I was going to retract but I can't seem to type today :>) [19:48] anyone know the command to launch a terminal [19:48] HRezaei, other people, more qualified than I am, can and will explain to you why it's not a good idea to use un-packaged software if you can just use the packaged version instead [19:48] cannonfodder, where do you want the shortcut? in your desktop or in a panel? [19:48] tucemix im doing it thru the xfce panel [19:48] A_J: xrandr [19:48] just need the command [19:48] lol [19:48] cannonfodder, in ubuntu it would be gnome-terminal [19:48] xrandr my resolution ? [19:48] cannonfodder, from Applications-->Accessories === Akkan is now known as HocaEfendi [19:48] HRezaei, sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql [19:48] HRezaei, to put it shortly [19:48] brontosaurusrex thanks man lol [19:48] intrader, something like xorg.back or xorg.conf.bak or similar. what I'd do is ls /etc/X11 | grep xorg [19:49] guys how do I set grub2 to default configurations totally ? [19:49] must logouut to load the new bashrc? [19:49] netstat s is still bit too verbose, I want something I can use with "watch" [19:49] lasha_: Purge and reinstall? [19:49] A_J: You can't really force a resolution, you can only choose from what is available [19:49] Polah: I dont know commands :( [19:49] AxAx: ifstat [19:49] cannonfodder, ahhh... dont know if it works on xfce but in gnome I can just right click the panel, then click "Add to Panel" and look for whatever i want to add, in this case a terminal session [19:49] A_J: xrandr #To see what is available. [19:49] actually Te olathe had helped force one for my moniter [19:49] was a while back [19:49] !pm | zach [19:49] zach: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:49] lasha_: sudo apt-get purge grub2, sudo apt-get install grub2. Assuming the package is just called grub2 [19:49] abstrakt: did you work with zend studio?

[19:50] I don't have install privs and don't have ifstat [19:50] Bronto, I did insert this line at the end of bashrc alias moldenogl='/usr/local/lib/moldenogl.linux . | grep -i -s -e ' [19:50] abstrakt: for phpmyadmin? [19:50] umm ok gnome-terminal wont work...im in xubuntu....x-terminal? [19:50] HRezaei, I think we already covered this A) don't use zend server, just use the apache that comes with Ubuntu and B) don't use Zend Studio just use vim, or if you must, then use e.g. Netbeans or Eclipse PDT [19:50] but nothing happend upon modenogl calling [19:50] zach, no PMs -- that is NOT how the channel works [19:50] cannonball: I'd ask in #xubuntu ... They are far more knowledgable about xfce [19:50] intrader, there should be an xorg.conf.failsafe listed. you can backup your current xorg.conf and copy the failsafe to xorg.conf, which should at least let you boot into X [19:50] te any clue ? [19:50] ok thanks [19:51] !seen olathe [19:51] I have no seen command [19:51] Rogerr, after you write your alias and save the new .bashrc, you may want to "restart" it, the command is: . ~/.bashrc [19:51] cannonfodder, "gnome-terminal"?!? [19:51] cannonball: Be patient, there is usually someone lurking there, but it may take a little time until the answer [19:51] anyone good at installing programs on ubuntu? [19:51] DaPenguin, only xorg.conf there [19:51] !lastspoke olathe [19:51] Hi, how do I get rfcomm devices enbled in Ubuntu 10.10 maverick ?

[19:52] vegaman: Installing is a fairly simply task if you can get programs as packages, what do you want/need to install? [19:52] tucemiux sorry, looking for a member that helped me last time [19:52] and it's not you zach [19:52] it's a bundle [19:52] abstrakt: then you say that zend studio is an unpackaged software and using it is a bad idea?!!

I had to format due to some hardware issues.. [19:54] Rogerr, i never told you to edit root .bashrc [19:54] OK [19:54] HRezaei, well yes i believe zend studio is not packaged for ubuntu [19:54] How do I find the not-root one? [19:54] Rogerr, 'whoami' [19:54] hi, does you have the new liquorix 2.6.38 kernel with brain fuck scheduller for netbooks? [19:54] PSN|VegaMan, do "sudo apt-get install vmware" sans quotations; then you just need to configure it [19:54] Rogerr, returns what? [19:55] first root [19:55] HRezaei, the bigger more important point here is that A) zend studio costs money and things like vim/netbeans/eclipse are just as good if not better and they are free [19:55] then I go back to my login "m"m [19:55] "m" [19:55] i am trying to compile it but the process fails [19:55] now I am m [19:55] hi everyone, i have a problem with a trust webcam i own, when i use cheese the video quality is awful, on windows it was supposed (long ago) to be fine but now is just horrible, any thought on this? [19:55] HRezaei, also B) you should learn the basics of setting up a PHP web server with apache, it's easy and then you will know what you are doing [19:55] aby1 ? [19:55] any1* ? [19:56] HRezaei, I can understand why someone would be tempted to use Zend Server CE, but Zend Server is *nothing more* than apache+php [19:56] !completition [19:56] HRezaei, oh yeah it comes with the Zend Optimizer (which doesn't matter during development and could potentially just get in your way) and the Zend Debugger which is inferior to xdebug ( http://xdebug.org/ ) [19:56] Bronto: [19:56] m@m-Aspire-5738:~$ ~/.bashrc [19:56] bash: /home/m/.bashrc: Permission denied [19:57] as non-root [19:57] how to tag files and search with tags within ubuntu?

Many thanks bront and te [19:57] OK [19:57] i tried sudo apt-get install vmware but is said "unable to locate package" [19:58] DaPenguin, lots of output related to nvidia, then 'Fatal Server Error' \n no screens found \n Closing log\n Server error [19:58] I get permission denied whichever bash I edit or whoever I log as on the terminal [19:58] Rogerr: That's not a file you try to execute. It is looked at when you run bash [19:58] HRezaei, if you ask other people in here and the people on #httpd why I say what I say, I'm sure they will most likely agree with me [19:58] Rogerr, no idea why would you get permission denied on user based files [19:58] anybody help me with a conky wireless problem? [19:58] genii-around, I just edited the file, and wanted to "activate" it [19:58] HRezaei, the other problem is that there are no support channels for zend server here on IRC [19:59] HRezaei, #zftalk does not support zend server, nor do they support zend studio [19:59] maybe I shall just logout and log back in? [19:59] Alright fine. How do you REMOVE a user from a group? [19:59] llutz: ? [19:59] Rogerr: Then: source ~/.bashrc [19:59] Rogerr, after you write your alias and save the new .bashrc, you may want to "restart" it, the command is: . ~/.bashrc < - this is the 3rd time i paste this [19:59] HRezaei, so you are better off using something that you can get support with [19:59] DaPenguin, the previous version boots Ok. How can I make get rid of the bad one? [19:59] hi everyone, i have a problem with a trust webcam i own, when i use cheese the video quality is awful, on windows it was supposed (long ago) to be fine but now is just horrible, any thought on this?

[21:04] A_J exactly. this here does it all: http://pastebin.com/sKPtDgPW [21:04] i tried useing dolphin to access it didnt work either 1min [21:04] crankharder: recovery mode should ask "do you want a root shell?" among other things. highlight that one and hit enter [21:04] y should i not use $ su to use the root? [21:04] dustin_: oh, kde? kdesu then [21:04] jon___: the root account was locked for security reasons [21:04] maco: dude, i don't have that option -- it goes straight from the BIOS to ubuntu's purple loading screen.. there's no bash menu [21:04] jon___: by setting a password, you unlocked it [21:04] i changed the pw on it [21:05] alsuna shd i run that in the terminal ?

How is everyone? [21:05] hola [21:05] jon___: by default it has no password. it is locked. you unlocked it. ubuntu's security model is based on it staying locked [21:05] yes, y is it bad i unlocked it? [21:05] A_J, nope. you paste that into a textfile and save as screenres.sh, then run in a terminal using ./screenres.sh [21:05] anyone use s3 for storage? [21:06] maco: thanx! :) [21:06] jon___: because if the password is locked, it cant be brute forced. and if you use sudo, this is recorded to the audit log. if something is done in a "su" shell, there is no recording of what happened so no diagnostics if something goes wrong / someone gains access wrongly [21:06] jon___, because now people can access it and would have root access [21:06] hello [21:06] Hi [21:06] i have a little problem [21:06] dustin_: did "gksudo dolphin" ask for your sudo password? [21:06] A_J, but play with it for a bit. if your resolution is lost after a reboot, try the last line. if that works, you won't need the other ones [21:06] oh... [21:06] jon__: Like maco said, sudo is recorded and you can use it to do root things anyway; you never really need access to the root account in general use [21:07] nope still didn't work i got that nexulis or whatever but no luck [21:07] kk alsuna thank you for your help [21:07] so, sudo can do whatever su can do? [21:07] A_J if it doesn't, you need the other lines as well. oh and the #!/bin/bash line is needed no matter what [21:07] kk [21:07] jon___: for the first user by default, yes [21:07] oh, i see [21:07] i'm really grateful alsuna thank you [21:07] jon__: Yes, it's SUperuser DO. You can remove the root password with "passwd -l root" [21:08] jon___: of course, you could configure /etc/sudoers to allow, say, your kid to do software installation tasks (install updates, add games) but not to touch anything else that'd require root access [21:08] maco: Isn't it for people flagged as administrators [21:08] ?

[21:14] Thanks [21:14] Danielcg25, that sounds reasonable...but if you want to check for sure google ubuntu swap size [21:14] where can i ask for help?

It really depends on what you use your computer for; video encoding/high resolution image editing and high end gaming require a lot of RAM everything else not so much [21:15] Thanks, I'll probably be upgrading to 4GB RAM soon so I didn't want to have to reconfigure my partitions when I did :) [21:15] i want to format a usb memory [21:15] Polah, yes [21:15] Danielcg25: Make sure you're running 64-bit [21:15] but i dont know how... [21:15] i only got 2 GB of ram [21:15] Yes I am :) [21:16] Daniel0108, what type of things do you do on your system? [21:16] thanks for all your folks help [21:16] coz_: programming, lol :D [21:16] Any suggestions about how you an backup or clone the partition Ubunutu is installed on`? [21:16] Coz_: you mean danielcg, name autocomplete is a pain sometimes [21:16] Daniel0108, ah probably dont need a massive swap file then double the size of your memory should do it [21:16] Polah, oh boy [21:17] DotNet: You want to make an image of your drive?

[21:19] Coz_: Isn't that for java development? [21:19] alsuna, oh boy well ok I better just take a break here [21:19] Polah, eclipse can be yes [21:19] Polah, as far as I know it is a decent alternative to xcode for mac [21:19] lemme know if any of you know alot about tork/tor clients i could use that alot talk to you all in afew and again thank you folks [21:19] ok, now that i got the hole superuser thing settled.... now for the other problem: after i installed the recent updates, my computer has been restartin on me automaticaly [21:19] does anyone know the cause if this? === herb__ is now known as herb === mnepton is now known as mneptok [21:20] im trying to fix up my netbook, wich has 10.04 ubuntu netbook version on it. after if updated / upgraded via apt-get i cant use mouse/keyboard, so iv booted via the pendrive iv installed trying to recover the installation.

[21:31] ext4? [21:32] Polah, no from download from ubuntu, but the most recent update asked me to reboot, and then now I just get the terminal [21:32] enoch: ext4 is the latest version so probably, although I've heard some things about instability but I've experienced nothing, might not be true [21:32] i will see u guys later, i'm going to install ubuntu 10.10, and see if that fixes my booting problem, thank you Polah [21:32] intrader: That would be a problem with X server then. Try reinstalling it [21:32] Jon__: Update to 10.10 from update manager [21:32] !upgrade | jon__ [21:32] jon__: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:32] how do i set a var to the output of a command [21:32] i did this morning... [21:33] if it was through update manager [21:33] hmm [21:33] Polah, I don't have network or CD [21:33] i ran update manager this morning [21:34] intrader: without "network", how did you "update" ? === MrAdam|Laptop is now known as THEBRODOZER|WORK [21:34] drc, before it got hosed I had network [21:34] intrader: ah... [21:34] drc, np [21:35] so, it looks like to me the last update has bugs in it [21:35] recent update* [21:35] I'm going to update on 10.10 now, let me see [21:36] Nope, everything I have is up to date and no issues [21:36] Anyone, will the update manager run again if I revert back to previous kernel? [21:36] how do i set a var to the output of a command [21:37] jon__, intrader: Do you perhaps have proposed-updates enabled? or backports? [21:37] idk, u could try backing up your files and reformate, and install 10.10 using a CD [21:37] intrader [21:37] how do I enter recorevy mode via netbook 10.04 iso? i can boot up the system but i cant choose recovery mode [21:37] is there a way to do this? or I need to completly reinstall 10.04 and block all updates? [21:38] u have to have duel-boot set up [21:38] Polah, when the update manager ran, it had an error, but still wanted to reboot which I did ---- no, I know that my last kernel still boots Ok [21:38] Iv made a clean install, and just after made apt- update / upgrade [21:38] after this, iv rebooted and keyboard / mouse gone [21:38] dtchrshr: You need to access your bootloader, i.e. grub === digitalfiz_ is now known as digitalfiz [21:39] Polah, i got no dual boot, if I turn on the pc it goes straight into ubuntu [21:39] is there something like windows F8 key to choose in boot?

[21:40] r u having rebooting isues too intrader [21:40] hi there, has anyone here successfully installed empathy >2.33.2 on maverick? [21:41] Does anybody happen to know, if you're downloading something from an Apache server and you lose connection and regain it hours later, does it re-link and begin again? [21:41] dtcrshr: Did you try F8? [21:41] dtcrshr: You should be able to hold down the left shift key at boot which will bring up the grub menu & you can select recovery at that point [21:41] There you go [21:41] jon___, yes, however it goes to the terminal (black screen with no GUI) [21:41] oh, mine just shuts off and restarts [21:42] it has happend twice so far [21:42] it kinda sucks considering that's the reason i switched from windows to ubuntu, because windows did the same [21:42] jon___, mine reboots as well, but after giving me the login prompt in the terminal. If I continue, it will reboot to same problem [21:43] it would randomly restart on me [21:43] thanks DJones [21:43] dtcrshr: you're welcome [21:43] Problem: I've managed to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 from my USB flash drive to my hard drive. However, now Grub doesn't seem to even start if the usb drive isn't set as the boot drive via the mobo's bios, but once I'm in Ubuntu, df /boot points to my hard drive. Anyone know how to fix this? [21:43] jon___: If windows did the same on the same hardware (computer), I'd say it was a hardware (not software) problem [21:43] well, this just restarts the computer, with no prior warnings [21:43] jon___, I think there is a time element involved, because on mine it sometimes takes a long time before I get the terminal [21:44] lao: Set the boot flag on your ubuntu partition/drive with something like Gparted? [21:44] can anyone teach me about freelancer.com? [21:44] no, because it only started to happen AFTER i installed update via update manager this morning [21:44] If it's loading into command line then Xorg isn't functioning, the same happens if it fails; it reverts to cli [21:44] so i know it isn't hardware [21:44] Polah: I haven't tried that. Is that a command line program? [21:44] K1ng, does that have something to do with ubuntu? [21:44] K1ng: stop spamming channels [21:45] lao: No, GUI [21:45] jon___: "it kinda sucks considering that's the reason i switched from windows to ubuntu, because windows did the same" ???? [21:45] yes, windows started to restart on me randomly [21:45] at the worst times [21:45] Lao, if your deployng a server, go for debian [21:46] jon___, its hardware then [21:46] I've never had Windows, or Ubuntu reboot at random times. [21:46] my personal oppinion [21:46] jon___, I agree. It's hardware. [21:46] http://espace-familial.blogspot.com/ [21:46] Windows has the unfortunate problem of forcing a restart when you update it [21:46] jon___: Then I re-state the obvious...if windows AND ubuntu exhibit the same behavior on the same hardware, I'd suspect the hardware, not the software [21:46] picasse, dont paste here [21:46] I run a dedicated box with Windows Server 2008 R2 and I can't update it unless it actually crashes and then I can use the windows when it reboots to update and reboot it again [21:47] ubuntu server has some "magical" issues, if you update it you must pray on next reboot :D [21:47] ok [21:47] dtcrshr: Dutily noted. If all else fails, I'll do that. Polah: I don't have a GUI installed on my server box, and would rather keep it that way. [21:47] dtcrshr, hardly. if you have issues, boot to the last kernel. [21:47] no, difference: on windows it just did it randomly, i dindn't anything for it to start, and i also loaded a bunch of crap on it. on ubuntu it started doing it after i ran update manager this morning [21:47] Does anyone know how to verify / reinstall GRUB? The problem HAS to be that it's installed on the flash drive. [21:48] Roasted, on this very netbook im trying to fix, i got no last kernel to choose. the recovery mod is heere "booting" for almost 5 min [21:48] Lao, /msg ubottu grub2 for links on how to do that [21:48] and on windows ir got progressively worse, and stoped after i installed ubuntuy [21:48] imagine this on a production server [21:48] tubuntu* [21:48] dtcrshr, gotta say. that's a first :P [21:48] ubuntu* [21:48] dtcrshr, we run it in production. [21:48] bazhang: Thanks! [21:48] dtcrshr, far less issues than I've seen in windows. so much that I was worried about tech dept cutbacks at one point. [21:49] Im a huge ubuntu spreader, but it surely have some issues that takes me very far from deploying servers on it [21:49] Roasted, cant compare to windows thought, too much issues to count [21:49] Roasted: What obscure and vexing problem have you for us today, bro...or are you here just to chat? :) [21:49] Lao: sudo apt-get install grub2? [21:49] jon___, please pastebin the error logs from said problems [21:50] where r they stored? [21:50] drc, the only problem I'm trying tos olve I don't believe is an ubuntu problem. I think it's likewise-open, sicne it's a domain related issue. [21:50] drc, what previous issue were your eferring to? [21:50] Roasted: Darn! I look forward to the discussion you engender :) [21:50] jon___, simply stating :in windows and ubuntu it randomly restarts leads to one conclusion, its hardware, minus the aforementioned error logs [21:50] what mostly bothers me is that an student bought this netbook, and the TI people in the university told her to run after someone who would install windows on it, i tooked it to put up ubuntu instead of the embedded linux it came for free [21:51] and netbok remix dont work at all, very sad [21:51] netbook remix is a joke [21:51] tryed 10.10 and 10.04 [21:51] and a very bad joke at that [21:51] VERY BAD [21:51] i think ill go for regular ubuntu then [21:51] reg ubuntu runs great on my netbook [21:51] Roasted, dtcrshr please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:51] irc://arch.edu.pl [21:51] dtrcrshr: When 11.04 comes out you get the joy of "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu". [21:51] wth did they made this netbook remix? [21:51] well, the restarting only started on ubuntu after i upgraded to 10,10 [21:51] dtcrshr: Remix and ubuntu will merge in 11.04 anyway [21:51] bazhang, pretty sure we're talking about ubuntu? [21:52] Roasted, its not support. please take it there [21:52] dtcrshr, yeah really I'm not sure why anyone runs anything other than "regular" ubuntu in the first place, but whatever trips your trigger I guess [21:52] 10.10* [21:52] bazhang, lol. k. [21:52] point is, just download the "real thing" and then modify it to taste, that's what I recommend [21:52] personally iv never messed arround netbook remix, but sure think i would give a shot on this one.. bad timing [21:52] well, I have issues on both 10.04 and 10.10 at first boot regarding the university connection. its wpa2-enterprise, with no certificate [21:53] on 10.10 it didnt connected at all [21:53] dtcrshr, we tried to deploy wpa2 enterprise lately [21:53] on 10.04 it goes, but after a minute or so it hangs [21:53] dtcrshr, we ran into issues with using it on a windows server, that bombed. then we tried an ubuntu radius server, that bombed too. [21:53] jon___, please pastebin your error logs, otherwise it certainly is a hardware issue [21:53] what do you suggest then? go for 10.04 or 10.10? im completly dropping this joke netbook remix [21:53] where r the error logs stored? [21:53] Roasted, well, we got freebsd running radius [21:54] jon___, if you have two operating systems rebooting randomly on the same computer, you definitely have a hardware issue. [21:54] about 1200 users, windows, mac, all working [21:54] i only have one os [21:54] sure thing its something with ubuntu [21:54] jon___, but you said you ran windows on it [21:54] dtcrshr, nope [21:54] dtcrshr, centos, fedora, etc, all bombed on it [21:54] radius just sucks :/ [21:54] * perlmonkey is using dd_rescue to try and save some data from an injured HDD [21:54] Roasted: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:54] srry, i missread the question [21:54] im connected to the network in this very pc im talking now [21:54] on debian 6 [21:55] !ot | Roasted dtcrshr I asked nicely once already [21:55] Roasted dtcrshr I asked nicely once already: #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! [21:55] aw snap [21:55] i did have the same isue with windows when i ran that, and if i have the same problem, it doesn't mean it's a hardware problem, rebooting can be cause by a lot of isues [21:56] russian? [21:56] not just hardware [21:56] !ru | ultramarin [21:56] ultramarin: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:56] jon___, I'll say it again. If you have random rebooting issues on TWO operating systems on the SAME computer. You. Have. A. Hardware. Problem. [21:56] ultramarin, #ubuntu-ru [21:56] bazhang, ok. the last question iv posted is this. Since netbook remixes sux, and i need a nice wpa2-enterprise support, wich regular ubuntu should I go? 10.04 or 10.10? [21:56] jon___: Walk>Talk>Quack == Duck [21:56] dtcrshr, 10.10 and wpa2 is fine here [21:56] ok thanks [21:57] ok, the restarting cam ----->AFTER!!!!!<------ i installed 10.10 [21:57] I'm setting up a secondary X screen (a projector) but the display looks like it's 8-bit depth rather thant the 24 bit it's supposed (and reported) to be... any clues? [21:57] it did not do it yestarday when i had 10.04 [21:58] jon___, but you said you ran windows on that box before and you had restarting issues. [21:58] frodef: Are there only 8 colours? Or do you mean it's pixelated? [21:58] I had something strange happen [21:58] DaPenguin, I have gotten nowhere with the grub.cnf update. It is autogenerated from other entries in /etc/grub.d [21:58] i also loaded windows with a buch of crap, and screwd around with video game hacking software on windows [21:58] Roasted: Let it go (I have)...he will not see the obvious because he doesn't want to [21:58] Polah: it looks like there's about 256 colours. [21:58] jon__ revert to 10.04 to see if it still reboots. You probably have a hardware issue that only exhibits under certain conditions - windows and 10.10 both bring that out. No easy way to figure out what is going on [21:58] ugly as hell. [21:58] jon___, I'm still not buying it. I work in a district with 2,000 systems. I've seen issues like this. You have a hardware problem. Period. [21:59] I just bought a Samsung CLP-300 colour laser printer, and Ubuntu DETECTED it INSTANTLY. I didn't have to do anything, just plugged that printer into system, and viola, it showed up on printers [21:59] now that is progress [21:59] Roasted, lets move on please [21:59] perlmonkey: plugnplay [21:59] bazhang, I'm not the one hanging onto the software issue, mr bazhang. [21:59] :D [21:59] jon__ could be 10.10 includes video drivers that actually use the GPU and raise the temperature causing a reset [21:59] please revert that suggestion to the user in question [21:59] jon___, please paste.ubuntu.com your errors [21:59] thank you [21:59] i just want to go threw all posible solution b4 i spend 1000 dollars i do not have on a new computer [22:00] have to spend* [22:00] jon___, you don't need a new computer. Just gotta do some troubleshooting on which part it is. It might be very cheap to fix. [22:00] hardware failures can be expensive :( [22:00] jon___, understood; in order to troubleshoot we need some error logs [22:00] I just damaged my lovely server by a silly stupid lazy mistake [22:00] i've replaced every part except for chipset [22:00] The projector looks good when in "twinview" mode, but horrible in "separate X screen" mode. [22:01] and i have asked where the trouble logs are stored [22:01] /var/log [22:01] kk [22:02] you can try syslog for general errors.. tail -100 syslog [22:02] guys, can someone help me? i have downloaded the new catalyst 11.2 driver but i don't know how to install it, it is a .run file [22:02] for hardware specific probs, try dmesg which should show on start up [22:02] If my laptop has an Intel i7 chip in it, do I need to download the 64bit Ubuntu or should I still get the 32bit one since the Ubuntu site says its recommended? [22:02] Does anybody have Ubuntu on a Windows domain? I set up two Ubuntu boxes on the domain with Likewise Open, but on one when I click on a windows file server location, it auto-authenticates since I'm logged in as a domain user. On the other, it asks me for credentials. Uhh. Any ideas? [22:03] Rehan, 32b is just recommended because it's the most compatible. You sound like you have a 64 bit proc, I'd get the 64. [22:03] is ubuntu unrelated messed up? [22:03] Rehan, 64bit is fine. its a badly worded website [22:03] joeoshawa, pardon? [22:03] Roasted: bazhang: thank you to you both. [22:03] * perlmonkey is running 64bit no probs [22:03] Rehan, and let me rephrase - It's the most compatible in regard to working with older hardware. [22:03] * smaug42 is running 64 bit too [22:03] i logged into it automatically and floodbot went nuts and asked me to identify myself [22:04] joeoshawa, you mean -unregged? [22:04] Roasted: I see. As long as I have someone helping me, I may as well also ask, if I will be dual booting with Win7 and Ubuntu, would that make any difference into which version I should get? Thank you. [22:04] Rehan, no, its the same 64 is fine [22:04] Anyone, how do I revert my boot to the last kernel image? [22:04] maybe [22:04] wasn't intending to go in there so i didn't really look [22:05] intrader, hold shift at boot and select [22:05] intrader: I believe it shows the previous kernel in GRUB? [22:05] how do i get a cat to var [22:05] skullboy, pardon? === Chosi_ is now known as Chosi [22:05] Polah, bazhang, yes, I just want it always boot from the last working image [22:06] intrader, then do as I just suggested [22:06] intrader: You'd need to configure that in GRUB [22:06] ok, i found the syslog for today, but it is a lot of words, and i do not want to post it in here, is there anywhere i can post it? [22:06] pastebin, jon__: [22:06] intrader: uninstall the newer kernel [22:06] yes? [22:06] jon___, yes paste.ubuntu.com as I have said several times now [22:06] i need a variable to = the first line of a plain text document [22:06] Or if it's huge, just upload the entire file somewhere [22:06] bazhang, that is manual [22:06] jon___: paste.ubuntu.com [22:07] ok, ty [22:07] bastidrazor, how? [22:07] intrader, and what was it you wanted to do, then? please be absolutely clear, thanks. [22:07] intrader: in synaptic search for linux-image you will find it there [22:07] jon___: after pasting copy the URL and paste that URL in here to whoever is helping you. [22:08] hey guys [22:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/585624/ [22:08] just a wuick guestion [22:08] that's the log [22:08] skullboy `head -n 1 filename` will give you the first line of a file [22:08] is it possible to host 2 nameservers on the came machine an ip? [22:08] Roasted: if i'm starting with a clean hard drive, should i use the win7 installer to make two partitions and then install win7 on one and then use the WUBI installer or should I just use a Linux CD and install independent of windows in the 2nd partition? [22:08] 2 diffrent nameservers [22:08] so $VAR="`head -n 1 filename`" should do it [22:09] Rehan, I would install 7 on a limited partition. let the remainder "unallocated" then when you install ubuntu you can handle the unallocated part for your linux setup. [22:09] Rehan, the idea isn't to let windows handle both tasks. Just don't give Windows the FULL drive. Leave space after, let it alone, and let Ubuntu handle it when you mvoe on to step 2 [22:09] Roasted: thank you, much appreciated! [22:09] Rehan, no problem. good luck! [22:09] bazhang, bastidrazor , and auto-update went wrong this morning leaving me with a kernel image 2.6.35-28 that boots into a login in a text terminal.

The previous 2.6.35-27 boots Ok to the GUI [22:16] how does one determine what, if any, restricted drivers are installed? [22:16] GothCC: system | hardward drivers [22:16] intrader: uninstall it. use synaptic [22:16] er hardware [22:16] heh [22:16] mrwes: thanks [22:16] bastidrazor, boot into the good one then use synaptic? [22:16] intrader: yes [22:17] bastidrazor, any caveats and where do I find the image to uninstal? [22:17] intrader: search for linux-image [22:18] hi [22:18] bastidrazor, simple enough [22:18] is there a way to connect to bluetooth serial modules without sudo? [22:18] perfect, upgrading 10.04 to 10.10 fixed the driver issue with FGLRX [22:18] sudo rfcomm --raw connect 4 <--better than that? [22:19] bastidrazor, would I left with 2.6.35-27? I would be booting to that one since ...-28 is bad. [22:20] did, anyone read the log and get anything from it??? [22:20] intrader: if it is currently installed then yes. [22:21] bastidrazor, on another laptop I search in synaptic for linux-image and get nothing [22:22] intrader: click the S.. it'll list packages installed [22:23] intrader: in synaptic I usually write linux- into the quick search box and select "installed" from the categories on the left side [22:24] I want to rename a bunch of file that have this pattern 123.zip to newname_123.zip. Is this possible? [22:24] bastidrazor, when I type linux in search I get 2.6.35.36 [22:24] I mean by terminal. [22:24] Aufwind: Yes. [22:25] bastidrazor, when I type linux in search I get 2.6.35.28.36 === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [22:25] stbain: How? [22:25] intrader: that is the kernel you want to uninstall. [22:25] hi === darkdevil is now known as Guest18113 === Guest18113 is now known as Guest48150 [22:25] I need some help [22:25] stbain: I thought of mv, but it has not the possibility (or I didn't figured it out yet) to store the old name. [22:25] Aufwind, for i in *.zip ; do mv $i newname_$i ; done [22:26] stbain: [22:26] stbain: Oh,... Didn't think of a for loop. [22:26] stbain: Thank you!! [22:26] [standard disclaimer and "backup your data" warning goes here] [22:26] i second that === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay [22:26] stbain: Thanks! Will do. :D [22:26] bastidrazor, what would I be left with - previous kernel? [22:26] I lost all my data for the 3rd time, and still never learned [22:26] i want to take a generic touchscreen mp4 player and install linux on it so i can figure out a way for it to work like a personal organiser and have it sync with ubuntu anyone know where i can find an interested party? [22:27] i mistakenly set ubuntu as default OS and unchecked the box that gives me 10 secs to select correct OS, now I keep on going to grub and when I select windows boot manager from grub, i come back to grub [22:27] intrader: if you booted into the 2.6.35.27 kernel then obviously .... that is the kernel you will have [22:27] damnit meant that for the ubuntu room [22:27] oh well [22:27] I tried windows boot cd, still no luck [22:27] oh ok [22:27] joeoshawa: you are in #ubuntu - but #ubuntu-offtopic will be better suited [22:27] jospams: You probably accidentily installed grub to your Windows PBR. *never* install grub's boot sector to a partition. [22:28] bastidrazor, thanks for your patience - I will do that on the laptop with problems [22:28] well i used wubi to install ubuntu [22:28] jospams: To confirm, please run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn [22:33] so anyone here to help me? [22:34] intrader: best of luck.

[22:35] hi [22:36] ;( [22:36] bastidrazor, synaptic tells me there is 1 broken package, that I should filter 'Broken', yet "No Packages Selected" [22:36] Jordan_U, please reply if you are still helping me [22:37] i guess not [22:37] jospams: Ok, I was wrong about the problem (I should have read your initial description more carefully). I don't know how to restore the timeout for Windows 7's bootloader, try asking in ##Windows. [22:37] is everything ok? [22:38] intrader: (wild guess) is there some text in your search box? Try clearing that? [22:38] jospams, you need a windows 7 disk to restore the windows 7 bootloader [22:38] i have the disk [22:38] i can open up command promt [22:38] prompt* [22:38] rockets: He has the Windows 7 bootloader, it's just configured to use the Wubi entry by default with no timeout. [22:39] bastidrazor, nothing in the search box [22:39] Jordan_U, oooh that's rough. [22:39] jospams, if you download Hiren's boot disk, it has options like "boot from HD 1, partition 3" etc. [22:39] bastidrazor, I will restart synaptic [22:39] rockets, do you know what to type, I have tried bootrec.exe /FixMbr [22:40] rockets: That won't help either, it will just load the windows bootloader with the same problem. [22:40] rockets, I have ubcd [22:40] can that do that too [22:40] Jordan_U, no it wont. [22:41] jospams, I don't know if UBCD will do it. I recommend getting hirens. [22:41] also jospams http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851681.aspx [22:41] rockets, I am poor man [22:41] i can't afford hirens [22:41] hello people [22:41] jospams, what are you talking about hirens is free [22:42] bastidrazor, restarted synaptic, same "No packages selected" after using the "Broken" filter === christian is now known as Guest91438 [22:43] rockets, I will try to link [22:43] I think I might need to reinstall wubi === darkwurm is now known as atyoung === _Hexley is now known as Hexley [22:45] jospams: You'll need to boot Windows to reinstall wubi... === Hexley is now known as Guest96232 [22:49] Wubi = Linux on Windows Filesystem = Sluggish = Give Linux Bad Name. [22:49] :( [22:50] red2kic, What's your point? Do you have a question? [22:51] edbian: Nice. [22:51] red2kic, I'm not necessarily agreeing with you. I'm curious why your stating your opinion. [22:52] bastidrazor, restarted synaptic, same "No packages selected" after using the "Broken" filter [22:52] is there a way to blacklist certain updates on my machine? I want to stop it from updating the kernel automatically. [22:53] my broadcom STA wireless drivers stopped working after an update a few days ago [22:53] intrader: did you uninstall the kernl you did not want and kept the kernel you wanted? [22:53] Hi, I'm trying to install drivers to make my new Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch tablet work on ubuntu 10.10. Unpacked the tarball, ran ./configure, then ran 'make" and got: "make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'." Is this right? [22:53] Apollonovich: was there a recent kernel update? [22:54] vgambit`: the system seems to push kernel updates out every couple weeks, which is an annoyance since I tend to prefer not to reboot if I can help it. But I'm running a custom kernel, as I finally fixed a longstanding issue with my machine by doing so, and I don't want it getting clobbered. [22:54] Apollonovich: you can "lock" the current kernel, so you will keep it anyway, then just tell grub to use it [22:54] bastidrazor, did not get the chance. Synaptic tells me there the a Broken package and in filtering I am left with "No Packages Selected" [22:55] yes, but I don't even want it to download and install the new ones, because a) it takes up disk space on my tiny /boot partition, and b) it makes the system think I need to reboot. [22:55] Apollonovich: ah. I think a kernel update might've caused my issue. I was asked to reboot after installing some updates, and my wireless hasn't been working at all since [22:55] Apollonovich: GUI or CLI? [22:55] intrader: what package is broken? [22:55] Hi, I have a few questions about the os knoppix. I know this is probablly the wrong place to ask but any help would be apperactied. [22:56] so I guess my real question for you all is, would the fix for my wireless issue be to roll back to a previous kernel? if so, how could I do this? [22:56] vgambit`: haven't had wireless issues, but my dvd drives have been broken since I updated to lucid. they were still bootable, but not mountable. rebuilt with ATA support added back and SATA cdrom support stripped out, and all is well. [22:56] lrussell: this channel is for ubuntu support only [22:56] bastidrazor, tells me there is Broken package that I should filter for - yet finds nothing [22:56] guntbert: I suppose I'd prefer a CLI method. I'm running kde, but like CLI ways of doing things when I can.... [22:57] intrader: odd. [22:58] hey room [22:58] lrussell: try #knoppix... [22:59] Apollonovich: sorry, I only know the GUI way (for a short time at least): in the update manager you can check which updates you want to download (I used that to keep my old kernel for several weeks) [22:59] hrm...that's in gnome/synaptic I assume? [22:59] hello [23:00] I am trying to hide panels but they still show a pixel [23:00] how do i add the wireless connections' icon to my panel? [23:00] even with option in metacity set to 0 [23:01] Odaym: network manager applet? [23:01] ah yes [23:01] OH [23:01] it works [23:01] :) [23:01] http://biggestfuckups.com/ [23:01] kroimpa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:01] bastidrazor, I am running out of steam with this. All I want is to have my system like it was this morning before the update. [23:01] Thinking of installing ubuntu on my 6gb ram laptop, but i dont know i i can find the correct drivers for my wifi card? [23:02] yes panel_pixel, the network manager applet [23:02] famthegeek: try it with the live CD [23:02] Odaym: alt+f2 and type nm-applet [23:02] Odaym: alt+f2 and type nm-applet [23:02] famthegeek, ubuntu is pretty good for wireless drivers. installed my broadcom drivers np [23:02] Odaym: and check system preferences startup applications see if network manager is enabled there [23:02] Ok, tnx for the advice didnt think of it [23:03] I can't play video or control audio in ubuntu, Any one know what config file to edit for the audio? And how to make video work at all? [23:03] I am trying to hide panels but they still show a pixel... is there a fix for this? [23:03] can I use -1 value in metacity? [23:03] Asked the same question in the forum some days ago, still no answer. thank god for irc [23:03] I'm trying to install drivers to make my new Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch tablet work on ubuntu 10.10. Unpacked the tarball, ran ./configure, then ran 'make" and got: "make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'." Is this right? [23:04] Should i use LST or 10.10 [23:04] famthegeek, That's a choice you should make for yourself. There is no right answer. [23:05] think i will go for 10.10 as will have no proplem ceaping it up to date, tnx by the way [23:05] famthegeek, Sure. Good luck [23:05] ceaping? [23:05] :o [23:06] I can't play video or control audio in ubuntu, Any one know what config file to edit for the audio? And how to make video work at all? [23:06] famthegeek: Only issue I've had with 10.10 is that recording sound directly from the soundcard with audacity no longer works.. [23:06] i just updated my eee-pc from 10.04 to 10.10 [23:07] now windows are bigger than my screen and stuff [23:07] guntbert: I hear aptitude hold [packagename] works...can't find any proof that it actually did, but I'm thinking since I tagged my custom kernel, the system no longer sees me as on the "linux-image-generic" upgradepath.

[23:37] ah thank you [23:39] hihihi100: Let's see, if you do "sudo chown $USER /mnt" can you then acceess it as a normal user? [23:39] took a look on syslog, i got this error uppon some others wlan0 supplicant connection state associated -> disconnected [23:39] deauthenticating from local choice reason=3 [23:39] wpa_supplicant CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED event remove keys [23:40] arand, nothing [23:40] hihihi100: I don't understand why it wouldn't show up in the file manager though, if it is healthy, since that is the default behaviour... [23:41] hihihi100: So the command was succesful then? === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux === l34k is now known as bob_el_bobbo [23:41] hihihi100: If you open the file browser and go to file system /mnt do you see the files, and can you edit them? [23:42] arand, i tried hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$ sudo chown $USER /mnt [23:42] hihihi100@hihihi100-laptop:~$ [23:42] , I have tried with sudo chown $hihihi100 /mnt too, just to get "missing operand after `/mnt'" [23:42] arand, YOU made my day...

[23:43] hihihi100: Note that if the commands are succeful, the generally don't produce any output. [23:43] arand, thatsd why I tried your original instead of my substitution of USER for hihihi100 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:45] hihihi100: Yea, $USER picks up the environment variable And replaces, so the command actually being passed to the chown program is "chwon ihihi100 /mnt" [23:45] s/chwon/chown/ [23:47] hello, i am trying to open a folder in ubuntu, but it wont let me because i am not "the owner" [23:47] hihihi100: But it still remains a mystery why the file bowser doesn't do the equivalent automatically, since it normally should... I have no idea.. [23:47] is there a transparent theme that makes pretty much everything transparentish? [23:49] billy_: Which folder? And likely it is indeed so, and so by design. [23:50] Hey. When I set alt-shift to change keyboard layout, alt-shift-tab to switch to the previous window stops working. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 with Compiz enabled. Does anyone know of a way to fix that?

Apparently it can't find the package [23:51] shesek: You may need to use another keyboard combination for changing keyboard layout. [23:51] how can i run flash on my powerpc. i am unable to run any youtube video with gnash [23:52] billy_: sudo === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [23:52] terry, well, obviously, this is what I'm doing now, but its a bit annoying. Its used to work fine on older versions of Ubuntu [23:52] hihihi100: Hmm, as far as I can tell I don't think that is your problem no. [23:52] I'm trying to find an alternative to Apple Shake that is free. Can anyone help me because I googled this forever.. [23:53] shesek: Well, I just ventured a gues. Not sure. [23:53] arand, I didnt tell you that my machine starts automatically with nautilus activated [23:53] <_antant> terry: any idea on my makeinfo problem?
