Youy may not beable to reformat it.. i wouldent trust it - if you were able to refromat it.. [00:52] i am writing nothing, i just want to copy it to a different external [00:52] dr_willis, i don't think it's that [00:53] leftymobile: I need another pastebin. This time in it I need to see the output of this: sudo lspci -k (it's long I know) [00:53] i was talking to a freind who told me i ahd too many kernels (long story, i was trying to work around something and i ended up wtih that) [00:53] oobiloz: you could 'dd' the whole disk to an image file. and try to recover from that. If you had a location to write the image file to. [00:53] and i fllowed advice and removed it [00:53] i mean, it reads the hard drive, it boots as far as me seeing the purple screen, i even hear the sounds but i cannot log in [00:53] oobiloz: gparted will show a partiion thats mounted as 'locked' also. be sure its unmounted. [00:54] My graphics card is an nvidia 8600gt and it can handle hd no problem in windows but not ubuntu. Any ideas to get it up to snuff? [00:54] so i unmount it [00:54] and then remount? [00:54] oobiloz: sounds to me like you need to use the 'quiet nosplash' or 'text' option when booting to see if any error messages are showing up/fix them [00:54] so i can get to the files? [00:54] eh, i am booting from usb [00:54] it's the "install if you want, after you try" [00:54] oobiloz: if its booting most of the way. jkust try mounting it and see if you can access the files. [00:54] can anyone answer the question? [00:54] to get to this machine taht won't boot up int he first place [00:54] i did try mounting it, "already in use" [00:55] i am getting all sorts of reasons so i can't seem to get to it [00:55] oobiloz: it sounds like it IS booting its just acting oddly?crashing, or somthing. [00:55] yes [00:55] :( [00:55] oobiloz: if its allready in use.. then its proberly mounted somewhere.. see where via the 'mount' command [00:55] leftymobile: How's it going? [00:55] oobiloz: that would explain the lock from gparted also. [00:55] quick xchat question: how do I see the time since active for a user [00:56] I know how to do it using Aqua [00:56] i don't see itin mount, unless it's written as something else and i'm not recognising it [00:56] conical_: /whois conical_ conical_ .. yes put the username twice [00:56] kthx [00:56] i am trying to lookk for the same name as it says under gparted [00:57] oobiloz: thats odd. . so you boot the system. you get the ubuntu .... splashm, and it seems to boot.. plays a sound. but you get no GDM login screen? [00:57] well, that's the hd in this lappy [00:57] yes i tried it many times [00:57] bastidrazor, is there a way to use that command to get that information for say, all the ops? [00:57] so now i've to boot using this try out usb [00:57] oobiloz: can you get to the console via alt-ctrl-f1 through f5? what video chipset is in the thing? [00:57] eeeh [00:57] conical_: no idea. [00:58] i do it now even if i'm booted from USB? [00:58] In 'CCSM' settings 'Outputs' has the value of '640x480+0+0'. My monitor is 1680x1050. [00:58] oobiloz: not now.. im meaning when it does boot/fail.. it just seems to hang at the desktop correct? befor GDM even loads? [00:58] yes [00:58] generalExpert: you can add your resolution there [00:59] why is the backtrack-linux channel banning me? [00:59] I just don't get it [00:59] gypsyjim, your root ident. [00:59] huh----root [00:59] oobiloz: when it hangs. see if you can get to the consoles.. if its a nvidia based video chipset. You may want to try the 'nomodeset' option (edit the grub menu, and change the 'quiet splash' optuion to be 'quiet nosplash nomodeset' or even just 'text' to see if it boots up [00:59] root @ etc.etc [00:59] how do i change [00:59] edbian just shows list of commands [00:59] gypsyjim: Im amazed at the people that use backtrack that come in here asking about it.. Why are you even using it? [00:59] gypsyjim, log out change it log back in, join their channel [00:59] bastidrazor: what would the format be? 1680x1050+0+0? would this new rule take the place of the 640x480...? [00:59] where do i type this in [02:00] gypsyjim: login to your system as a normal user, not as root. [02:00] gypsyjim, you quit your client first [02:00] edbian ! [02:00] oh ok [02:00] leftymobile: Give me an example [02:00] how are you guys doing? [02:00] generalExpert: yes and leave the 640x... in there just add your resolution [02:00] How do i run Wine? i am trying to use Universal USB installer, but i tried to run wine in order to do so, yet it keeps telling me i need to enable permissions or something of that nature? i tried to give it permissions, but everytime i checked the box to run application it would automatically re-uncheck itself? [02:01] ebian -t "show bus tree" [02:01] RubenAlonzo: short way.. open a terminal,. [02:01] has anyone ever run backtrack? [02:01] RubenAlonzo: short way.. open a terminal,. 'wine /path/to/the/executablename.exe' [02:01] gypsyjim, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please [02:01] leftymobile: show me the command you typed... [02:01] gypsyjim: its not supported here.. ii dont see much need for it.. stick with ubuntu. [02:01] i think i've got nvidia [02:01] gypsyjim, backtrack and general chit chat are offtopic here [02:01] the last time i checked [02:01] dr willis [02:01] Dr_Willis: i just type wine in terminal? i am very new to linux [02:01] i have ubunt 10.04 lts on it [02:01] if i reinstall xubuntu [02:01] er [02:01] install xubuntu [02:02] oobiloz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:02] RubenAlonzo: wine command is 'wine' yes... [02:02] ok thank you i will try that [02:02] bastidrazor: so like this '640x480+0+0 1680x1050+0+0' [02:02] brb [02:02] and keep the same partitions and username and computer name, and not format, espeicallyt aht partition... that is possible, yes? [02:02] oobiloz: the nomodeset for my Nividia systems is REQUIERD for them to boot proplery. Until i get the nvidia drivers installed and working. [02:02] generalExpert: no, it should be on a new line, iirc [02:02] How do I see the last time I (my user) viewed a file? Is it ls -l --time=use? [02:02] oobiloz: keeping /home/ on its own partition is very handy and allows tricks like that. [02:03] leftymobile: What are you doing? [02:03] well yes, /home is is indeed in its own partition in this one [02:03] edbian got it [02:03] 1 sec [02:03] oobiloz: that makes life a lot easier in many ways. [02:03] bastidrazor: ok just did it but do I need the '+0+0' added to the end of 1680x1050? [02:03] If I want to run a script under root on boot, can I just put the .sh into /etc/init.d? Also, to remove Apache from starting up on boot can I just delete the entry for apache2 in /etc/init.d? [02:03] Polah: check out /etc/rc.local for a fast and dirty way. [02:03] leftymobile: I just want you to say the command in the channel so I confirm you typed the correct thing. what is taking so long? [02:03] edbian enter pastebin [02:04] .com [02:04] Dr_Willis: I'd rather do it cleanly [02:04] i am just trying to get to my files because so far, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.... so... if i cannot figure out what you've said and i cannot make it work, i can do this, yes? from ubuntu lts to xubuntu and keep the same names, no format on /home [02:04] Polah: and upstart controlled services are ran from /etc/init/ [02:04] Polah: no and no [02:04] leftymobile: what? [02:04] i get to keep everything? [02:04] KMURV8ZA [02:04] generalExpert: yes, that tells it where the resolution starts. if you had dual monitors it would make more sense. [02:04] edbian enter those after pastebin.com [02:04] Polah: rc.local is the way to do 'scripts' services are where the init.d and init stuff belongs. [02:04] leftymobile: hahah, go it. ( guessed that) [02:04] lol [02:04] leftymobile: You did it right. Good job. (took long enough! :P ) [02:05] oobiloz: xubuntu is ubuntu with a differnt desktop [02:05] XP [02:05] oobiloz: and you can reformat and keep the old /home/ but not the old settings (which are in /etc/ and other places) [02:05] ookay... just keeping on rechecking. i'm messed up everything i could at this point so i triple check [02:05] leftymobile: run this: sudo ifup wlan0 [02:05] bastidrazor: ok cool now the 'Detect Outputs' checkbox should be checked? [02:05] i just need to do enough to get my old files [02:05] oobiloz: soundt to me like you got a simple video driver issue. [02:05] hey i need help DVDs wont play in VLC [02:05] Dr_Willis: I need the application to continue running [02:05] everything was working fiiiiiine until i removed some "old kernels" [02:06] Polah: if you're more specific about what you want to do, then it's easier for us to help you [02:06] ok, wubi is bad, I looked up my error and it still isn't fixed or understood [02:06] well, everything but the wifi [02:06] generalExpert: i don't know that one. [02:06] edbian Apps>Additional Drivers> Broadcom b43 wireless driver [02:06] which i was trying to fix until i got to this point....... [02:06] Polah: you are not being very specific. If you want to make a 'service' then yes. you should make a proper /etc/init/whatever.conf to controll your service. [02:06] jrib: I want to run a command, specifically "mono McMyAdmin.exe" to start up a program on boot and have it run continuously [02:06] leftymobile: What about that? (I can't see your screen) [02:06] oobiloz: i rarely uninstall old kernels.. sounds likle you may of removed your video card drivers. [02:06] bastidrazor: why wasn't my screen resolution automatically in there already? [02:06] but i will try your suggestions dr willis, thank you very much for listening and being nice and not caring about the size of mammary glands before helping. i truly truly appreciate this [02:06] Polah: as root? [02:07] oobiloz: try the 'text' or 'nomodeset' option. to see if the system will boot. [02:07] dr willis... yeah, i'm starting to figure out what i've done..... thanks for putting it in clearer words [02:07] In that case, can people suggest some OSs that are light and fast for netbooks. Win7 currently eats 999MB out of 2GB of memory and goes to 100% CPU whenever I open anything....I am looking for something a bit faster/less lag [02:07] gy [02:07] jrib: Yes [02:07] Can someone tell me why VLC wont play my DVD [02:07] edbian that is what is telling me to activate b43 driver [02:07] oobiloz: boot to grub menu, try recovery mode. [02:07] generalExpert: no idea, on my other box it doesn't include my working resolution but everything works fine. i have dual monitors on it. [02:07] tbruff13: you dont have the decess stuff installed. would be my guess [02:08] eh [02:08] Polah: your dirty options are /etc/rc.local as Dr_Willis suggests or @reboot line in root's crontab. To do it properly you can either create a sysv-init script (old way) or create a proper upstart script (see ubottu) [02:08] leftymobile: alright let's go the fun route. It's telling you to activate it? Does it have a button or something? [02:08] !upstart > Polah [02:08] how on earth do i do that [02:08] Polah, please see my private message [02:08] Dr_Willis, ok [02:08] leftymobile: Try to 'activate' it. (whatever that means) [02:08] !dvd [02:08] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:08] edbian it give me the error [02:08] leftymobile: What's the error? [02:08] i just install and use, i'm afraid... i've never had to do anything this complicated before [02:09] bastidrazor: have you tried unchecking 'detect refresh rate' and then moving the 'refresh rate' slider all the way up? It makes the screen effects soo smooth! [02:09] oobiloz: when you boot the suystem.. thers a menu.. see one that says (recovery) ... try it. === dani is now known as Guest2788 [02:10] i never got taht [02:10] !locale > polah [02:10] Polah, please see my private message [02:10] i got as far as this cursor.... then i got as far as the purple desktop with nothing.. and that was that. no menu [02:10] oobiloz: if you never see a grub menu at all.. the system (stupidly i think) hides it by default on a ubuntu only system.. hit the shift key (tap it like crazy) as the system boots to make it show [02:11] aaaah [02:11] * Dr_Willis still thinks thats a silly default [02:11] * jrib agrees with Dr_Willis ! [02:11] Getting a lot of "... package is corrupt" errors when trying to install with the alternate install cd. Any way to ignore those errors and attempt to proceed? [02:11] Painting the user into a corner to 'protect' them from complex decisions. [02:11] yes, it has done a lot of such defaults with me that i ended up changing things here and there until i got to this point [02:11] edbian : SystemError: installArchives() failed [02:12] oobiloz: one of the fuist things i change.. is to make grub NOT hide. :) [02:12] generalExpert: i haven't made any changes but just looked over the settings. my box seems to do well with the drivers and default settings. [02:12] how can i get standard FTP to show up in the file system like SFTP does, using FUSE? [02:12] lefty_: mmm, no clue what that means. Try this: sudo service networking restart [02:12] Dr_Willis: I figured it was just to hide more of the scary text at boot [02:12] it worked okay on me for a long time..... but not having the wifi work on this acer 4738 was driving me crazy.... so i did this, and did that, and nothing worked, i ended up iwth many kernels, and here i am.... [02:12] after removing "old" kernels [02:13] which i guess i needed............... [02:13] EvilPhoenix: i do have a 'standard ftp' entry in my places -> connect to server.. menu.. where are you talking about? [02:13] I hope you are here later [02:13] How can I install some stuff using aptitude not being a root? [02:13] just to install it locally [02:13] Getting a lot of "... package is corrupt" errors when trying to install with the alternate install cd. Any way to ignore those errors and attempt to proceed? (some sort of option?) how is it determined if the packages are corrupt? [02:13] oobiloz: there was no need to worry about kernels... [02:13] i cannot say this sincerely and often enough. thank you again for helping me without being rude [02:13] dr willis, someone advised me that i had too many.... [02:13] "remove this, and remove this"......... [02:13] apocalyptiq: hmm.. you dont install system wide stuff unless you are root. [02:13] edbian says unknown Instance : [02:13] oobiloz: rarely needed.. this isent windows. [02:14] well [02:14] Dr_Willis: it was opening the FTP connection using FireFox, of all god-forsaken things [02:14] hello, i'm trying to help my cousin set up his dual boot and i'm having trouble. he just installed ubuntu over a winvista install [02:14] oobiloz: on my old box here. I perhaps have 10 kernels.. and its not a big deal. [02:14] How can I install some stuff using aptitude not being a root? just locally [02:14] EvilPhoenix: never noticed.. i dont use ftp any more. [02:14] apocalyptiq: i think basically.. 'you cant' [02:14] :( perhaps i should have gone here first [02:14] Dr_Willis: yeah, i know, i use SFTP if i absolutely need FTP, but meh [02:14] edbian says unknown Instance : [02:15] i was hesitant to ask for help in channels because i went to a different network and the people weren't... well, like this [02:15] EvilPhoenix: theres proberly some front ends to mount things via the fuseftp stuff if you wanted. [02:15] i've tried to search grub config files but i haven't been able to do much [02:15] EvilPhoenix: many file managers can handle ftp://whatever/ type addresses directly [02:15] Dr_Willis, so i have to install all from sources? [02:15] Dr_Willis: FileZilla was timing out on directory listing, hence all my questions [02:16] its working now *kicks his computer* [02:16] i know just enough linux to follow through if somebody points me in the right direction [02:16] EvilPhoenix, usually when ftp times out on listings its because of needing passv move off [02:16] apocalyptiq: if you want a user to install somthing to their own home dir.. you use source.. You could perhaps download the .deb as a user and extract it to their home.. it depends on what it is you are running. [02:16] EvilPhoenix, because of a firewall [02:16] i will try what you said, i will bbl [02:16] many many thanks again [02:16] :) [02:16] Bfig: You need to calrify the problem. [02:16] lefty_: try this: sudo service network restart [02:16] Getting a lot of "... package is corrupt" errors when trying to install with the alternate install cd. Any way to ignore those errors and attempt to proceed? (some sort of option?) how is it determined if the packages are corrupt? [02:16] clarify :) [02:16] edbian_ kk [02:17] !grub2 | Bfig [02:17] Bfig: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:17] hey guys do any of you know how to get an HDTV to see Ubuntu using a HDMI cable? === dBugSlayer_afk is now known as dBugSlayer [02:17] i cant seem to get it to work [02:17] foul_owl: did you try the disk check option? [02:17] foul_owl: ive never seen such an option. uve seen suggestions to allopw the option. or to download from internet.. [02:17] digitalfiz: then explain why it got through every FTP command up to "MLSD" or w/e it is [02:17] digitalfiz: then it timed out [02:17] Dank420: i just plug mine in.. and it worked.. same as if it was a PC monitor. [02:17] digitalfiz: but its working using the FUSE version of FTP [02:17] edbian_ unrecognizable service [02:17] Dr_Willis: he apparently installed with the proper procedure, using the ubuntu installer and reasonable options (auto resize partitions) [02:17] Dank420: you may need to twiddle with the monitors settings as if you had 2 monitors. [02:17] i tried checking the disk, but i want to attempt to proceed despite any errors [02:17] hmm weird, cuz i can plug my wife's win7 comp in and it works === Guest2788 is now known as NeedSomeH [02:18] no such option exists then? [02:18] but when i plug this in...nothing [02:18] If I'm setting a script to run every two hours, is this correct: * */2 * * * /home/user/script.sh? [02:18] Dank420: ive also seen things get confused if you are not pluged in WHEN it boots.. [02:18] lefty_: Then it definitely is this: sudo service networking restart and you made a typo before [02:18] Dank420: desktop? laptop? what video chipset? [02:18] could it be an hdparm issue? [02:18] EvilPhoenix, I dont know the specifics and dont care because ftp sucks but its usually what I was told to do when I couldnt connect to someones ftp [02:18] laptop nvidia geforce G105M [02:18] asus UX50V [02:18] is it just me or are the fonts on ubuntu not very diverse? [02:18] foul_owl: hdparm wouldent fix a bad fil;esystem/file curruption. [02:18] Bjr Tlm [02:19] Dank420: try the laptops special keys? try the nvidia-settings tool? [02:19] i mean like in openoffice. [02:19] basically cdrom issues/corruption [02:19] join [02:19] oh well, thanks for the help!! [02:19] edbian_ still unknown instant [02:19] not yet i'll have to check those, thanks [02:19] hey, is there any way to minimize one window? or alt tab inside a open-gl app? [02:19] lefty_: show me exactly what you typed. Type the command here. [02:20] Dr_Willis, how can i extract .deb? [02:20] Dank420: i would say run nvidia-settings then is where you should start. [02:20] edbian_ kaven@ubuntu:~$ sudo service networking restart restart: Unknown instance: kaven@ubuntu:~$ [02:20] apocalyptiq: i cheat and use 'mc' to access the contents of .deb archives [02:20] ok thanks [02:20] Dr_Willis: it is booting only in ubuntu, and i haven't been able to find the grub config files or anything [02:20] lefty_: alright. try this: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start [02:20] lefty_: Manually stop and start it. [02:21] Is there a second (non-qt) web browser option available in the synaptic package manager? I can't seem to find one, seems pretty odd. [02:21] Bfig: you have read the grub2 docs then? you are saying its not showing a 'windows' option in the grub menu?

[02:21] yes [02:22] lefty_: just restart the machine. It will have the same effect. [02:22] epistax: i dident think chrome used qt. or firefox either.. (i rarely pay attention to qhats qt and whats not these days) [02:22] ok [02:22] Question for the channel. How can I restart networking in ubuntu? sudo service... ? [02:22] does opera use qt? [02:22] ah I didn't see chrome because it's listed as "chromium" [02:22] Is there any key combo to minimize one window? or "Alt-Tab" out of a Full screen OpenGL app? [02:22] edbian this would be 3 times restarting [02:22] lefty_: k [02:23] I have a website that doesn't load at all in mozilla for some reason--it can't even figure out the IP. Works just fine in windows/chrome though [02:23] epistax: that sounds.. suspucious. [02:23] or very bad codeing on their part. [02:23] :) [02:24] try it inbsomthing weird like dilo, :) or lynx [02:24] Dr_Willis: https://websales.omniticket.com/ is the website. Mozilla claims that the www.omniticket.com website is malware, which could be sorta true. :P [02:24] Dr_Willis: i haven't been able to find the grub config files, i have ver 1.98. i've tried finding a /boot/grub/menu.lst but there is no file like that, also /etc/grub.cfg or similar. i find a folder grub.d in etc, and i don't know what to touch there [02:24] epistax: that makes more sence then. [02:24] Bfig: read the grub2 docs/configs [02:24] But the locate failure is a lie [02:24] where is the ubuntu channel for indonesians? [02:24] Bfig: its rather well documented. [02:24] yep it works fine in chromium [02:24] thanks [02:24] Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll try that [02:24] Bfig: of course all you MAy need to do is 'sudo update-grub' and see if it sees adds windows to the list [02:25] edbian_: restart network-manager? [02:25] em: #ubuntu-id [02:25] ChogyDan: no, all of networking. sudo service [02:25] It replaced sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:25] epistax: that site is working here with no warning - in FF4 on Ubuntu [02:26] Dr_Willis: Interesting. I can't get by locating for the link I provided, and the www (no https) is blocked for malware for me, but the same address works fine in Chromium. Not using FF4 yet on Ubuntu [02:26] Dr_Willis: i did that before, i didn't mention it because i couldn't find the exact command i executed, but nothing happened, it detected memtest86, and two linux [02:27] hello, can someone tell me how to make the Cube Effect Loop (or Virtual LOOP)?? [02:27] Bfig: theres been some quirks in the 'os_prober' part of grub that in some cases dont detect windows installs.. If you have not allready done so update/upgrade tye systemn. and rerun update-grub. it might get fixed. [02:28] hey how do i make the vlc interface go away while im watching a movie [02:28] elijahblake: cube as in compiz? [02:28] Dr_Willis: what do you mean by update/upgrade? [02:28] yes us3r_Unfriendly [02:28] tbruff13_: vlc has settings in the menus [02:28] edbian_ restarted [02:28] Bfig: 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' (ie: update the system) [02:28] lefty__: and.... ? [02:28] elijahblake: as in a constant moving cube correct? [02:28] Dr_Willis, how can i put a dvd on a flash drive for a road trip [02:28] edbian connected [02:28] tbruff13_: dd [02:29] i can do it in windows [02:29] tbruff13_: F11 ? [02:29] what is dd [02:29] edbian_ connected [02:29] yes Us3r_unfriendly like if i'm using my mouse wheel, i want it to keep scrolling through the cube... [02:29] lefty__: via wifi? [02:29] Dr_Willis: it's up to date apparently [02:29] not stop at the last one [02:29] tbruff13_: rip it tp a video using any app you like.. such as handbreak, k9copy, ogmrip.. or others.. [02:29] Bfig: i have no other quick ideas then. Ive not had Grub2 not see any of my windoes installs. [02:29] Dr_Willis: by the way, thanks for all the help and good will, even if it doesn't solve : [02:30] Oh another Ubuntu snafu question. So I opened a couple folders in a media player (so that it would play the music within the folders as a play list). Somehow, this turned my default folder opening program from nautilus to the media player. How do I set this back, and let myself open a folder with whatever program I want without modifying the default viewer? [02:30] Bfig: if all else fails. You can make a windows entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom and have that boot windows. [02:30] tbruff13_: dd isn't exactly what you need. your going to want to rip a dvd and put the .avi to a flashdrive with handbrake but you'll need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [02:30] Dr_Willis, will VLC's convert work [02:30] Dr_Willis: how would i do that? [02:30] tbruff13_: proberly. but i never use that. [02:30] Dr_Willis, why [02:30] Bfig: edit the file.. add a proper entry. (making that entry is the hard part) [02:30] tbruff13_: i use other tools [02:30] lefty__: ? I'm very curious [02:30] Dr_Willis, what tool is the best [02:31] tbruff13_: there is no best.. it depends on your needs. [02:31] When booting Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 LiveCD from an external USB CD/DVD on my Intel iMac, GRUB seems to load properly but then I receive: "VFS: Unable to load root on unknown block system (0, 1)". This error also occurs if I attempt to check the disk for defects. [02:31] tbruff13_: are you talking about what is the best converter/ripper? [02:31] Dr_Willis: as i understand i need to add a pointer to the proper boot record in the windows partition? [02:31] tbruff13_: handbreak is popular. [02:31] This is a kernel panic, btw. [02:31] I just need to put a DVD into as small of a file as possible while keeping high quality [02:32] Bfig: add a proper 'stanza' entry in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom to boot your windows install. (but really grub2 's os_prober is supposed to see the os) [02:32] tbruff13_: you need to 'reencode' the dvd to a video file. [02:32] tbruff13: if you enter libdvdcss2 in ubuntu help, it will give you the command to download it [02:32] tbruff13_: what are you going to Play the thing with.. is the big question. [02:32] tbruff13_: with libdvdcss2 install you can use dd to convert a dvd to a iso if that's what your talking about [02:33] tbruff13_: and how small a file do you need.. is the big limit also. [02:33] Dr_Willis: i can see an ntfs partition [02:33] maybe 200megs per movie [02:33] at the most 1 gig per movie [02:33] tbruff13_: thats doable... [02:33] hello [02:34] lefty___: End my tourment! Please at least tell me if what we did worked or not! [02:34] tbruff13_: the codec will depend on your player you are using also [02:34] edbian_ your tha man! [02:34] bob__: tbruff13_: libdvdcss2 is available from medibuntu but usually a movies is around 8gigs on a dvd so good luck on compressing it to that small. you'll lose out quality majorly [02:34] lefty__: hahaha, awesome. === max_ is now known as Synthead [02:35] sudo aptitude install handbrake did not work [02:35] hi can anyone give me direction on where to talk to people about ubiquity plugins? [02:35] tbruff13_: its not in the default repos.. [02:35] Bfig: example entry -> http://pastebin.com/eJXaqjxY [02:35] so Us3r_Unfriendly any suggestions on the virtual looping with the mouse wheel? [02:36] tbruff13_: handbrake is a 3rd party app. download it from their website. they do have a .deb for ubuntu [02:36] !handbreak [02:36] !handbrake [02:36] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [02:36] what's the difference between 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 ?! [02:36] old_keyboard: the last 2 .xxx.xxx ranges. [02:36] Dr_Willis: so the second allows less IPs [02:36] ? [02:36] old_keyboard: you got it. [02:37] :) [02:37] The last round of Lucid updates left me with an unstable system. I got a bunch of crashes with either "BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/include/linux/dcache.h:336!" or "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" ... [02:37] I've gone back to using the 2.6.32-29-generic kernel for the time being. [02:37] This is a machine with ATI graphics (sigh) and I'm stuck with the dreaded radeon driver. :-( [02:37] Dr_Willis: are you using ubuntu? [02:37] When booting Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 LiveCD from an external USB CD/DVD on my Intel iMac, GRUB seems to load properly but then I receive: "Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to load root on unknown block system (0, 1)". This error also occurs if I attempt to check the disk for defects. [02:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: right now. yes. :) [02:37] eps: dreaded!! I use the radeon driver [02:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: some times im in here on my android phone [02:38] Dr_Willis: have you notice the transfer rate with using the cp command on large files? That's my only beef with linux. [02:38] Hllo === curtis is now known as Guest45816 === optimusprime is now known as Guest80264 [02:39] Dr_Willis: but i'm a die hard linux guy for a few years now [02:39] R0b0t1: ive seen where some pc's move the drives around where hd (0,0) is changed if you boot from a differnt hd, and can confuse things. [02:39] How can i connect to a local host of ubuntu chat? [02:39] has anyone here succeeded in an eMachine em350 install ? [02:39] Us3r_Unfriendly: ive had issues with USB device transfer speeds. theres some outstanding bug that can cause slowdown with some hardware. [02:39] Us3r_Unfriendly: but not internal IDe/sata drives. [02:39] Dr_Willis: yup that's the one [02:39] Dr_Willis, any idea of what I might do? Someone suggested changing the root= line (or similar) [02:39] in grub [02:39] !loco > Guest80264 [02:39] Guest80264, please see my private message [02:39] Hi gues, I have an idea. To put the 3 most popular linux distros (ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu) into one torrent and put them on a site. and as each new version comes out, I create updated torrents and the old ones remain so the old versions of linux never disappear. What do you think? [02:39] *guys [02:40] Dr_Willis: alot of ppl say updating the kernel but no luck still [02:40] R0b0t1: make differnt entryes/try the various #,# and see if any of them work. [02:40] edbian_: I had to do all sorts of ugly things to survive plymouth and get X to work [02:40] lrussell: Why do I want the old versions? [02:40] Us3r_Unfriendly: its been an issue for ages.. i will be shockled if its fully fixed soon. [02:40] eps: Sorry to hear that! :( [02:40] well, maybe someone would have an old computer and new versions wouldnt be supported [02:40] lrussell, is there a problem with torrents disappearing? [02:40] what do u mean [02:41] Us3r_Unfriendly: i did notice that i did seem to have the issue in TinuyCoreLinux also.. but then.. suddendly it sped up in TinyCore.. from 1mb/s to 14+... No changes on my part.. so im not sure what the deal is. [02:41] lrussell, I don't understand the purpose of this. [02:41] Dr_Willis: i can't see anything with fdisk -l, is that correct? [02:41] Dr_Willis: i hope so...i'm actually was surprised when i found out how old of a problem that is [02:41] I'm just wondering if 2.6.32-30 broke something. Neither bugs.launchpad.net nor ubuntuforums seemed to have any reports about this. [02:41] Us3r_Unfriendly: i also had 2 identical USB hd's one was slow.. other was fast... same port.. same everyting.. identical make/ [02:41] Bfig: sudo fdisk -l (sudo is important there) [02:41] i could see the ntfs partition from the install cd interface but can0t see it from here [02:41] Us3r_Unfriendly: its somthing deep in the kernel.. and hard to find i imagine. [02:41] ahh now it's fine [02:42] the pourpose would be so you could always get an older version of linux if 1 needed to. Plus you could get all 3 os'es in 1 torrent so it would be easier === maelstrom is now known as Guest45657 [02:42] I have a problem with net connection, in Linux, all distros, e.g. While you make a download, you can't navigate anymore because the navigate turns it slow, while the download are up speed [02:42] Anyone knowledgeable about overclocking? [02:42] i do [02:42] Todd200: now a days. im not sure if its worth doing. :) [02:42] it is still worth doing... [02:42] Windows 7 the navigation and download at the same time its normal, only in linux thats happens [02:42] I'll just need seeders for my idea... xD [02:42] Dr_Willis: i see three dev/sdb and one dev/sdc, the last one has ntfs as fs. that's where the... wait... is there a chance that the disk was compressed to the 'right' ? [02:42] if you dont think its not worth doing, buy a new game. [02:42] >Todd200 that depends on the CPU model. [02:43] Does IPv6 connection have any bridge with that on Linux? [02:43] http://www.gsick.com/cats/ [02:43] lrussell, lol. It makes more sense to have an archive via http or ftp [02:43] lrussell: why not go to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com ? [02:43] ie, blasting the whole boot section of the os? or is this absurd? [02:43] SightUp: i doubt it.. but then again.. gaming on linux.. is not that cutting edge.. and overclocking CAN cause issues on linux in other tasks. [02:43] lrussell, you would also need to archive packages [02:44] who games on linux... [02:44] you cannot even run dx11 [02:44] Bfig: sdc would be hd2 i think. [02:44] if you are on linux dont overclock. [02:44] !ot [02:44] #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! [02:44] edbian_: To get X working, I eventually settled on putting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pci=nomsi radeon.agpmode=-1 radeon.modeset=1" in /etc/default/grub ... I don't like this. [02:45] madprops, dont paste here [02:45] eps: I wouldn't like it either [02:45] eps: That's ugly [02:45] Dr_Willis: my cousin says it is a single hdd... and it's a laptop, why would it say sdc? [02:45] Bfig: you booted from a flash drive? and got a optical disk... [02:46] Bfig: you can have a sdc even with 1 hard drive. it depends on how the controlers are laid out. [02:46] edbian_: Anything else either locked up or produced display artifacts. [02:46] Dr_Willis: i'm booting from the hdd. can i see if there is an os in a particular partition? [02:46] Bfig: check fdisk -l output perhaps.. or try the grub command line, and see whats there. [02:47] is there anywhere that gives details about deb control files, like what a valid version can look like and how to specify dependencies? [02:47] Dr_Willis: can i ask grub to try looking in a particular partition? [02:47] Bfig: or cut/paste that example i gave into your 40_custome file. and perhaps make it 3 times.. one for hd0, one for hd1, one for hd2. and try them all see what workls [02:47] Bfig: grub has tab completion, and some commands to help figure things out. but ive not done it in ages. [02:48] Dr_Willis: i'll try finding something useful and then tell you. thanks for all the help so far [02:48] Bfig: the grub2 forums may have some actual fix for grub2 not seeing your windows install. [02:49] Dr_Willis: i'll check them, good idea [02:49] eps: what card? radeon is working fine, newest kernel tho- why don't you upgrade the kernel?

[02:52] dr willis, i tried what you said, only the shift key worked and it brought me to terminal. i was able to go through there [02:52] eps: try to make-kpḱg the newest vanilla or otherwise get the newest (for lucid) from kernel.ubuntu.com [02:54] Todd200 you could start with installing cpufreqd [02:54] as i was leaving i tried shutdown -P now and i got this message towards the end: "could not write bytes: Broken Pipe". I had to press the power button to shutdown [02:57] guampa: Thanks for your help. I didn't know about kernel.ubuntu.com (or #ubuntu-kernel). [02:57] ednian_ ! [02:57] chromium wont install :'( [02:57] lefty_: I assume you're talking to me. sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [02:58] yes i am :) [02:58] so i have a question [02:58] lefty_: Did you try that command I just gave? [02:58] isotek: What is it? [02:58] eps: good luck, and also try with catalyst if other options fail..though radeon is getting better in 2.6.38 [02:58] what is a uuid? [02:58] !blkid | isotek [02:58] isotek: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:58] isotek: user identification number [02:59] http://www.neverlooselinux.comli.com/ [02:59] take a look [02:59] lrussell, dont paste here [02:59] edbian_ not yet umm it says Chromium Web Browser it will install even if i type sudo apt-get install chromium-browser? [02:59] lefty_: That sentence makes no sense. [03:00] guampa: this is old hardware -- and a laptop, so replacing the video card isn't an option. === dustin is now known as folorn [03:00] He just proved there's no problem [03:00] point of fact it's "universally unique identifier" [03:00] edbian_ : nvm [03:00] bazhang, it might be interesting to the ubuntu community [03:00] lefty_: k [03:00] lrussell, its not support, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:00] sylph: yes I think so. hahaa [03:00] oh... sorry [03:00] eps: with catalyst i meant the propietary driver for your card [03:00] so i contend to you: [03:00] /dev/sdb1 /media/07b55114-ae5e-4779-bbb8-0ba426ac959d ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0 [03:00] /dev/sdc1 /media/07b55114-ae5e-4779-bbb8-0ba426ac959d_ ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0 [03:00] ati catalyst [03:00] WTF. [03:00] isotek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:01] lefty_: Have a good night buddy [03:01] isotek: if a FS dosent get unmounted right.. next time system auto moutned it.. the dir existed.. so it added a _ to the end. [03:01] isotek: unmount it. remove the extra dirs with the ugly name. [03:01] Dr_Willis: Those are two seperate devices [03:01] guampa: I'm not using proprietary drivers, and ATI doesn't support old h/w nearly as long as nVidia [03:02] isotek: and you May want to use the tune2fs command to give the FS a proper 'label' and it will use tthat instead of the Ugly UUID name,. [03:02] edbian_ http://pastebin.com/Vv3k9JUB [03:02] is it enough with a 32gb ssd disk for ubuntu? [03:02] and then store files on a server [03:02] yes [03:02] isotek if your UUID's are identical. thats also changeable with the tune2fs command.

[03:03] isotek: it didn't the _ makes it unique [03:03] I forgot, what is the pdf reader from which I can copy (then paste elsewhere) THANKS [03:03] Dr_Willis: ok, i pasted your code in /boot/grub/grub.cfg in a place that seemed appropriate. let's hope this works... or at least that it doesn't break the damn grub haha. wish me luck [03:04] isotek: if you dd/clone a drive.. you can have the same uuid. ive never seen a uuid with a _ [03:04] when using byobu and you have several inner screens open, each screen number has symbols next to it "0$... 1@!$... 2@$... etc. Is there a wiki that outlines what those symbols mean? [03:04] hi there! I am new to ubuntu 10.10, so far very impressed! Is there a program similar to windows VirtualDJ ? [03:04] having a prob - any help? On boot I have "starting file manager" icons appearing on the panel like there is no tomorrow. Bug? [03:04] isotek, there's an underscore at the end of one, they are unique [03:04] Bfig: err,.. thats not what i said to do.. you DONT edit grub.cfg [03:04] edbian_ syrinx i dont see it in apps [03:04] Dr_Willis: where do i edit? [03:04] Bfig: you edit the /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then rerun update.grub.... I even said that in the comments of the exampel I think... [03:04] "123/tcp closed ntp" [03:04] lefty_: type chromium-browser at the command line [03:04] why if sv is running [03:04] Bfig: and its in BIG LETTERS in the grub2 docs.. and at the start of the grub.cfg file [03:04] I am well aware, a uuid is a 128-bit 16 byte string of 32 hexidecimal digits [03:05] bazhang ... that URL lrussel posted is halted for malicious content [03:05] i know but it seemed appropriate :) [03:05] last i checked the underscore was NOT a hexidecimal digit. [03:05] Bfig: grub.cfg is overwritten every time you run 'update-grub' [03:05] phearret, well its offtopic, good idea not to click unknown links in the future though [03:05] Bfig: i got that example From my grub.cfg :) [03:05] edbian_ : why can't i see it though? [03:06] ;) [03:06] guys, i guess "fdisk' is not used anymore, please use "gnu parted" instead [03:06] lefty_: IDK, sometimes the menus f up a bit. REstart and they'll be there [03:06] ajin: i still use fdisk.. but im old-skool [03:06] nope: hex is 0-9 and A - F [03:06] edbian_ ok thanks! [03:06] lefty_: Have a good night! [03:06] so i ask again, what is up with those uuid's [03:06] asdf [03:06] tophat: Mixxx is native to linux (cross platform in fact) :) [03:06] fdisk will f your disk ;) [03:06] edbian_ good night!

[03:10] Polah: winetricks [03:10] Isotek: I need that for mono? [03:11] Bfig: you did use /etc/grub.d/40_custom and pasted it BELOW the lines the comments say to put it below? [03:11] Dr_Willis, thanks I will look for it. [03:11] isotek, why does wine still show in the apps. menu [03:11] Polah: winetricks is a utility that will allow you to install nearly any library/addition you will need [03:11] WeThePeople: when you install somthing via wine.. it adds a .desktop menu item in one of your users home sub dirs. the menus see that and add the item to the menus [03:12] Dr_Willis: yes... i also changed /dev/sda to /dev/sdc1, the ntfs partition. is that correct or should i leave it at /dev/sda? [03:12] dr willis, the hd didn't have grub but it had grub-pc but i couldn't seem to get it working [03:12] should just do sudo apt-get install grub instead? [03:12] Dr_Willis, yes, i just removed wine. and it still shows in the apps menu [03:13] oobilos: grub2, I believe [03:13] WeThePeople: that makes sence.... [03:13] Polah: grub2? sorry i am a newbie and not clever... you'd have to explain better [03:13] eps: lucid isn't "ancient" ... i know that driver runs in Lucid but everything depends also on Catalyst (fglrx) supporting your chipset [03:13] phew! so much info, mi brain is gunna explode..lol [03:13] WeThePeople: since the icon is from a users setting.. Not a system setting.. the windows app is still isntalled.. [03:13] it's actually called grub-PC for some reason [03:13] WeThePeople: You need to remove menu entries, look in ~/.local/share/applications [03:13] how would i go about compiling a kernel without ehci_hcd? [03:13] never had to think on windows lol [03:13] i am booting from usb and my browser is full of tabs .. with me googling stuff... i will look it up, give me sometime [03:14] Bfig: pastebin your 40_custom file for us to lookit at. [03:14] isotek: too much info, how to make it terse and find out if there are any suspect connections [03:14] oobiloz: sudo apt-get install grub2, I think that's what you want, not just grub [03:14] polah, thankyou [03:14] oobiloz, i.e. don't do apt-get install grub [03:14] razz1: netstat -an | head -n 25 [03:14] grub-legacy is the old grub i think. [03:14] ah [03:14] guys i accidently removed the top panel with the power button etc [03:14] how do i get that back? [03:14] okay... may i ask why grub2? [03:14] !resetpanel | MacByte [03:14] MacByte: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:14] Dr_Willis: Oh, so he can just do grub and not grub2?

[03:17] Bfig: or in the CONSOLE you mean? [03:17] most terminal apps also have cut/paste menu items/keys [03:17] thanks got it back :D [03:17] its very hectic in here. [03:17] Dr_Willis: in the console, i opened an xterm and downloaded a random irc client [03:18] Eps: what are you looking for? [03:18] nearly unmanageable. [03:18] is there any fast way to make tinyurls of copied urls? like i copy it and press some key combinatioon it will just create tinyurl of link in clipboard and replace current link with new link?

[03:19] Abhijit: my irc client has a script to do it. :) every url that gets pasted in here.. i see it as a tinyurl to make the screen less cluttered [03:19] uhm [03:19] I remember there being differences between grub / grub2 and there was differences and ways to update from one to the other..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [03:19] i have googled this and all, how do i run and load grub2 from terminal [03:19] phearret: sudo update-grub does the same for both.. [03:19] Dr_Willis, i am looking for something system wide. not irc only. and btw how to do that irc one here in xchat? [03:19] grendal-prime: It should be default if you didn't install anything, else Preferences > Sound perhaps [03:19] oobiloz: grub-install [03:20] Abhijit: i recall seeing some clipboard manager icons./tools for the panel that i thouight could do it.. but i never needed the feature [03:20] that will get it running? and i will see GUI? [03:20] oh I tried that but mine didn't update.. had to manually [03:20] i have one of these netbooks that has sterio mic but the apps only can use on side..so..both sides cancel each other.. [03:20] i thought that onlhy installed it [03:20] Dr_Willis, ok [03:20] oobiloz: what does grub2 have to do with the gui? Im missing the original problem. [03:20] Polah: looking to see where newer kernels exist for Lucid. I'm running 2.6.32-29-generic since 2.6.32-30-generic is crashing. It looks like there's a 2.6.35-25 in lucid-updates [03:21] eps: What's the command to check kernel version again? [03:21] well that might get me out of the terminal and allow me to boot like before? [03:21] Polah: I just did uname -a [03:21] at least on emergency mode, long enough to retrieve the files i want [03:21] That would be it [03:21] polah, wine is not in...~/.local/share/applications.....and still shows in the apps menu [03:21] ?? is that not how that's supposed to work? [03:22] WeThePeople: thers some .desktop files in your home hiddent dirs somewhere.. where those icons are comming from [03:22] Dr_Willis: do you have an idea as to why a clean 10.10 install would halt at the user account creation by not enabling the forward button ? [03:22] eps: I'm looking at 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028.stab079.2. I assume an earlier version to yours since 2.6.18 versus 2.6.35 [03:22] oobiloz: grub dosent really get you to the desktopp.. it boots the system.. [03:22] oh [03:22] WeThePeople: you can edit the menus the get rid of it. right click Applications > edit menu :just uncheck wine [03:22] so much for that [03:22] thank you... i guess i jsut hve to figure out how to do things through terminal, i can get that far [03:23] phearret: try alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 and see if any error messages are there. check the variois /var/log/ files perhaaps. [03:23] Bastidrazor: I think he means Nautilus entries to open files with Wine programs. [03:23] Polah: ah, i missed that part. [03:23] phearret: it could be its waiting to finish formating the disks also. [03:23] last Q [03:23] Eps: I am however not up to date with my lucid, I shall update and try again for you [03:23] when i did "shutdown -P now" and cot the Broken Pipe message... does that mean my hard drive is done for? [03:24] hi everybody, just a quick question: i have a laptop with a built in webcam and I know if I'm using windows, I run the risk of somebody turning on my cam remotely without me knowing if I have a spyware or something. I shouldn't worry about that in linux? [03:24] cot ==got [03:24] Polah: 2.6.32 was what came with a standard Lucid install. I've just been letting it upgrade. [03:24] Polah, see that one is different than the...puls audio mixer i need so that i can disable the second mic channel [03:24] hey! does anybody know how to switch the icons between and within the system tray (notification area / indicator applet)? [03:24] paranoidphreak, put a piece of duct tape over the camera if it bothers you. you do technically run the same risk. [03:24] bastidrazor, lol, that was easy [03:24] Dr_Willis: did you get the link? pastebin.com/4D95Ci30 [03:26] grendal-prime, I don't know, sorry. [03:26] isotek: for some sockets it displays the local port and the foreign address but not the program/PID #. how do I know which ones are legit and which are not? Thanks for your help. got rid of google talk plug in, opened up too many ports. dumb of me to install it in the first place [03:26] Dr_Willis: I expanded the tasklist at the bottom and it showed " waiting for you." [03:26] paranoidphreak, i use the duct tape solution myself for all OS ;) [03:26] when i enable remote desktop, how do i make so others can see my desktop outside of the local network [03:26] razz1: try lsof | grep LISTEN [03:27] thanks again, will be back in bit [03:27] needhelp1: forward a port on your local router [03:27] needhelp1: I believe you would need to port forward [03:27] alright well polah i have to leave...ill be back later can you look into that for me? [03:27] hahahahaah [03:27] guampa: Interesting. kernel-package was demoted to universe beginning with Lucid. [03:27] needhelp1: are you using vino? [03:27] sorry just seemed funny. thing to ask [03:28] eps: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid [03:28] night guys...ladies...others.? [03:28] isotek, no just the thing in system admin, remote desktop [03:28] isotek, Polah how do i know what port to forward [03:28] it doesnt say [03:28] needhelp1: that is vino, the port you need is 5900 [03:28] needhelp1: it depends entierly on your router. [03:29] Bfig: you changed sda in the label.. not the actual boot inforamtion [03:29] the person trying to access my pc would do what? http://192.168.0.0:5900 [03:29] does anyone know if i can somehow "swap" values of 2 records in mysql table? [03:29] guampa: "untrusted PPA?" That sounds ominous. [03:29] Dr_Willis: should i try sda1 or something else? [03:30] spirals: fcuk!!! i do use the cam sometimes. i'll consider putting a duct tape. i rarely go on it as root and don't you need root access to do any major changes. i install software from the repos and that's it [03:30] eps: lol, i had the courage and accepted it, still alive and kickin :P} [03:30] needhelp1: on your local network yes. on a remote network you would need to port forward the port on your internet router and provide your public facing ip to the person connecting [03:30] spirals: so, shouldn't i be a little more safe? [03:30] hey! does anybody know how to switch the icons between and within the system tray (notification area / indicator applet)? [03:31] needhelp1: bear in mind, the protocol used is old and broken, and provides very little in the way of actual secuity. [03:31] isotek, is there something else i should use [03:31] fisix: right click and choose unlock, the right click and choose move [03:31] paranoidphreak, it's vulnerable in the same ways as in windows: if you install software that can access it, you have software that can access it. [03:31] Bfig: see -> http://pastebin.com/8fyeQLTa [03:31] eps: it's a well known repo, not 100% sure but i think the official kernel maintainers are there too [03:32] Dr_Willis: i'm trying to see if the partitions overlap... is this ok? both the ntfs and the first partition 'start' at the same number and 'end' more or less at 30k [03:32] guampa: I'm just wondering why kernels don't find their way into lucid-backports [03:32] Has anyone got CUDA working with an Nvidia ION GPU on 10.10? [03:32] Dr_Willis: according to fdisk they start at 1 and end both at 29165 and 30401 [03:32] paranoidphreak, offhand yes a "little" more safe. for example you won't be getting any windows rootkits, which might include a "grab from MSN cam" component, or whatever. [03:32] Bfig: ive rarely had aprtition overlap issues. but you do need to change the hd# and the UUID i think [03:32] geegeegee: yes. [03:32] paranoidphreak, but the same general principles apply [03:33] geegeegee: well it was an ion2 but yes. [03:33] eps: i don't know, i don't tend to use backports, even less for new kernels. i go with this ppa or directly compile a fresh one from kernel.org [03:33] isotek, is that the 9400M ones? [03:33] needhelp1: vnc is sufficent however you need to tunnel it via ssh or vpn [03:33] eps: I used to use the maverick kernel on lucid :) [03:33] isotek, that sounds hard [03:34] geegeegee: I had it runnin on the jetway nettop [03:34] paranoidphreak, you could make a nice hinged cover with a scrap of something and a strip of tape, if you use the camera - shame more laptops don't come with a sliding cover (i've only had one such...) [03:34] isotek, did you have to do anything other than install the stuff from nvidia? I cant seem to get it working. [03:34] isotek: ok that only gave pidgin and skype, looks benign. what I am trying to check is whether my system has been compromised, I was playing with SSH over the net connecting to quite a few not so secure systems. are there any tests that I can run to confirm my system has not been compromised. [03:34] spirals: oh k, thanks for the recomendations [03:35] paranoidphreak, you're welcome, hope it helps [03:35] razz1, it takes years of experience to be able to fully verify a system. and professionals can sometimes get it wrong. [03:35] razz1: chkrootkit [03:36] can you use the commandline or something like rsync/scp to upload to ubuntu one? [03:36] razz1, its unlikely from what you've said. you could also play with "John the ripper" ("john" package) and see how secure your passwords are. [03:36] nodestool: never noticed.. the #ubuntu-one channel may know other ways === syn-ack_ is now known as syn-ack [03:36] Dr_Willis: thanks === pothos_ is now known as pothos [03:36] Dr_Willis: did not know that channel was here [03:37] Ubuntu-one is a neat idea. but compred to how im an using Dropbox.. its sadly lacking in ways [03:37] 11.04 ? [03:37] lediable: care to ask a actual question.. :) 11.04 support in #ubuntu+1 [03:38] oh, i played with 11.04-Alpha3 and i am not a fan. [03:38] is 11.04 working on an HTC ? [03:38] or will... [03:38] whats an HTC? and you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [03:38] HTC [03:39] Dr_Willis: i tried doing what you said and nothing happened [03:39] oh sorry thx :) [03:39] razz1, you should read http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-bsd-openssh-server-best-practices.html to get an idea of realistic ssh threats too. [03:39] i think you're ok tho ;) [03:39] htc is a mobile phone [03:39] Bfig: then either you did somthing wrong.. or you got some deeper issues.. ive added custom entries to 40_custome and they worked/showed up after i did a update-grub === dBugSlayer is now known as dBugSlayer_afk [03:40] hello, general question : I am making an encryption toy utility and I want to make sure that when I write my "ciphertext" on the file containing my original text, the writing takes place in the "same place" on the disk, thus there is no copy of the original text on my disk (even if the actual index listing to it is destroyed). Anyone has any advice on the matter? I am running ext4, so I don't know how the journaling will [03:40] affect this idea. [03:40] lediable: ive not seen many phones you can just boot a flash drive and install a new ubuntu disrto on. :) [03:40] DGAY [03:40] Dr_Willis, now that would be fantastic, Unity on a tablet [03:40] lediable: HTC is a manufacturer of moblie phones, what you asked was the equvient of 11.04 working on samsung [03:40] spirals: thats proberly going to be out/doable by later this year. [03:40] i now but maybe with the new 11.04 ? [03:41] Dr_Willis: just in time for when I actually adopt a tablet. drool. [03:41] or samsung... if you want :) [03:41] spirals: HP slate. [03:41] @seek ubuntu pocket guide [03:41] lediable: if you want debian on a phone buy a nokia n900 [03:41] I got a $75 android tablet the other day. :) im not sure it even hase enough power to run a full ubuntu install. [03:41] lediable: its the closest you are going to get. [03:42] @search ubuntu pocket guide [03:42] oops! sorry [03:42] nokia N900 ??? ok :) [03:42] prime: #ubuntu's channel bots don't have a search engine function [03:42] Dr_Willis, awesome. We are well OT but thanks for the reminder and I'll start comparing architectures with ubuntu supported ones. [03:42] but is not just an firmware problem, in any case ? [03:42] spirals: no passwords used for ssh tunnels. only keys. it's just that one of the systems has a direct Ip address not behind a gateway or a hard firewall. I just want to know what are the tests to run to check if it has been compromised. I know it used to get a lot of hits on port 22. changed it. still I remember seeing one hit but fail2ban blocked it after 3 attempts. [03:43] Isent ARM supposed to be fully supported now in 11.04 ? Ive not paid much attention to that aspect. [03:43] Dr_Willis: i tried all three hdds, uppercase and lowercase uuid, nothing happened [03:43] razz1: ok that makes much more sense. You should read that article especially since it focuses on server hardening. Your main first steps are to disallow root ssh logins, and to change to a non-standard port to evade the masses of default port attackers. Both are explained in the linked article. [03:43] Dr_Willis: i was not aware of that. [03:44] razz1: It's very normal to get attacks on the default port [03:44] Bfig: clarify what you mean by nothing happened.. You DO have new entries int he grub menu? [03:44] !arm [03:44] ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [03:44] razz1: and enable port limiting on your firewall [03:44] Anyone have a recommend for chrome or ff4? [03:44] razz1, isotek: good one, also explained in that link [03:45] prime: install them both.. try them out. [03:45] prime: using ff4 right now. [03:45] ok thanks [03:45] spirals: i know a little bit about security. [03:46] razz1: and again, chkrootkit is probably the easiest tool to use to look for obvious rootkit signs. Securing ssh is pretty straightforward. Oh yeah, also disallow password logins, make it so only keys can authenticate [03:46] razz1: you can even put chkrootkit on cron ;) [03:47] Dr_Willis: i sudo update-grub 'd and there are no new entries in the 'generating grub.cfg...' [03:47] razz1: and set the list of allowed hosts. All explained in article. [03:47] Bfig: pastebin the 40_custome file then . perhaps theres some typos [03:47] spirals: thanks for the info, going through it. I was planning on implementing port knocking feature for ssh login, haven't had time to do it. should make it a priority [03:47] razz1: tripwire is also handy, specificly if you log to a additional location [03:47] So, I just downloaded mozilla firefox yesterday and I have originally been using plain ol' internet explorer, so what's the easiest way to get all my bookmarked shit from IE to Mozilla Firefox? [03:48] Bfig: also be sure your 40_custome file is executable. [03:48] PerfM: Are you using Ubuntu? [03:48] razz1: port knocking is largely unneeded if you have a non default port that only allows known keys from known IPs [03:48] razz1: start with those then look at rate limiting/port knocking/etc [03:48] Edbian, er no. [03:48] PerfM: How are you running internet explorer? [03:48] PerfM: theres web site services that can sync bookmarks via browser extensions. [03:48] spirals: rate limiting is completely trivial with gufw [03:49] how can i make an .img file out of a folder of files? [03:49] Dr_Willis: pastebin.com/aUg87kSR [03:49] Dr_Willis: Like which? [03:49] blind: you mean a 'cd disk' image? [03:49] Edbian: Huh? [03:49] isotek: interesting, didn't know about gufw. [03:49] spirals: known IPs is a problem, if I am using different networks. [03:49] PerfM: i just use delicious.com these days. im always synced.. i dont use IE at all. [03:49] PerfM: So, I just downloaded mozilla firefox yesterday and I have originally been using plain ol' internet explorer, so what's the easiest way to get all my bookmarked shit from IE to Mozilla Firefox? [03:49] Dr_Willis: i guess so. im using it for an emulator. i have to make a folder into an .img file [03:50] PerfM: How are you running Internet explorer on Linux? [03:50] razz1: if you're not coming from a static IP, consider logging in through another server that is static, just a thought, don't know your topology [03:50] edbian: wine will do that [03:50] razz1: but really, 99% of it is non-standard port + require keys [03:50] blind: that makes no sence.. what emulator? [03:50] isotek: Oh yeah? [03:51] PerfM: Are you running IE in wine? [03:51] :S [03:51] Bfig: whats with all the # for comments? check the permsissions on the 40_custome file. make sure its executable.. [03:51] razz1: and 2222 is pretty much a standard non-standard port, don't use that either ;) [03:51] Dr_Willis: android emulator. in order to use a custom rom, i need to take the /system folder from said rom and make it into a system.img [03:51] Edbian: I dont what you're saying, srsly bro. [03:51] Bfig: other then those 2 - no idea. [03:51] The question here is why you would run IE on Linux... [03:51] edbian: yea, its kind of like driving a car with your feet, just because you can do it that doesnt make it a good idea. [03:51] hello again. in terminal, it detects my external hard drive but I cannot seem to get it to it. i can see it under /media but when i go to it it tells me "permission denied" [03:51] PerfM: Are you running Internet Explorer on Linux? It's a simple question. What are you confused about? [03:51] any way to get around this so i can copy files from hard drive to external, doing all this from terminal? [03:52] oobiloz: You might've set it to be only accessible by root [03:52] blind: i dont think its meanign to make a cd image file from the files. [03:52] #offtopic-ubuntu [03:52] i tried the sudo thing as well [03:52] Dr_Willis: i chmoded 777 before starting and the comments... i thought they were present on your paste [03:52] oobiloz: sudo su [03:52] #ubuntu-offtopic [03:52] Bfig: 777? That May be a security issue... and might be breaking things. [03:52] doh!!! i was too busy thinking of copying i didn't htink of that [03:52] Dr_Willis: well, how would i do that anyway. i'll give it a shot. can't find anything on any of the forums i've been to. others have been asking, and it's possible somehow because there are random images [03:52] rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214 2010-10-06 08:22 40_custom [03:53] i will give that a try, thank you lsrussell [03:53] Dr_Willis: what permissions do i give it? [03:53] blind: the various cd burning tools can make 'cd image' files. -> .iso files [03:53] Bfig: ---> rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214 2010-10-06 08:22 40_custom [03:54] but isn't an img file a 'raw' image file? [03:54] uhm [03:54] .img could mean ANYTHING :) [03:54] spirals: non-std port is not a defence mechanism just obscuring. Not really reassuring. [03:54] a rom image file = raw rom data - from what i would gather. [03:54] razz1, yes, i'm aware of the distinction between security and obscurity [03:55] razz1, nevertheless it's a best practice for 'hardening' ssh. [03:55] hola all [03:55] anyhow, back to why i came in here i had 400gb of data dissapear between yesterday and today and i have no idea how or why. [03:56] Dr_Willis: is that 731? [03:56] Bfig: It may be 755 [03:56] question : I am trying to read /etc/fstab of my pc to find out if ext4 is on journaling mode or not but I can't understand the output. " errors=remount-ro " Is it journal or not? It should have a data="ordered,journal,writeback" also but I can't see it. Should I assume it's "ordered" (default)? [03:56] Bfig: I always just cheat and use mc to change modes. [03:56] razz1, and it will clean up your logs a great deal which improves signal to noise ratio [03:56] many side benefits ;) [03:57] spirals: sorry, i am not following? [03:57] whatś the mc? [03:57] warpedude: ext4 is journeled by default - the fstab man page may state what the defaults are. [03:57] !info mc [03:57] mc (source: mc): Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:4.7.0.6-1 (maverick), package size 2104 kB, installed size 6432 kB [03:57] razz1: no more failed attempts on port 22 mean you don't have logwatch spamming you with huge, useless reports of the 2 dozen hack attempts each day [03:58] Bfig: you have checked the ubuntu forums for other people with grub2 not seeing windows instgall issues? there may be a better fix. [03:58] razz1, or however many is normal now, it was pretty ridiculous last time i was administering a port 22 server [03:58] hello [03:59] spirals: agreed, pretty scary, how many people still use passwords!! [03:59] does anyone have 10.10 on an IBM thinkpad T43? [03:59] Dr_Willis: i've tried some but haven't been successful [04:00] razz1: i use passwords, just not for internet facing machines. [04:00] I'm having some modem issues that I could use some advice with [04:00] razz1, yes there are many easy targets, if you are a hard target you're gonna get skipped more often than not. require keys, go on a non default port, set up logwatch to mail you the log summary for the system daily, sleep better. [04:00] and disallow root [04:01] Dr_Willis, are you sure about mode= journal being the default for ext4, do you have a relevant reference link? [04:01] What's the best way to set up a build environment for projects that require newer versions of libraries than the ones that are in the Ubuntu repos? Basically, I need to build some development software that uses the latest versions of gstreamer and gst-python, but I don't want to install them systemwide. [04:01] I know I could set up a chroot environment, but that seems a little overkill for just building one piece of software. [04:01] warpedude: no idea what the default is.. I imagine there IS a default to use a journel. since thats a main feature of ext4. the man page proberlys tates which optiosn are used specifically [04:01] jrtayloriv: vmware? [04:01] can anyone tell me where to get some help to enable me to boot up? Not even re-installing has helped. Thanks [04:02] jrtayloriv: or virtualbox [04:02] isotek: still a bad habit, I dont know, I just dont use passwords. [04:02] can anyone give me a hand with that? [04:02] ext3 was definitely ordered by default. [04:02] (and it was journaled) [04:02] jrtayloriv, a comman practice is to install to /usr/local, and tell your development software exactly where to look (usually with environment variables passed to the config file)\ [04:02] razz1: i have far too many machines on my internal network... [04:03] actually - its in the 'man mount' info.. not man fstab :) [04:03] spirals: I will probably go for vpn, given my needs I will be better off with VPN I believe, how hard is it to setup openvpn over the net. for say 5 systems. [04:03] spirals, OK. So basically it would be package dependent, and I would just have to just go through the config files for each one and find out where they point to the libraries, and change it there, right? [04:03] razz1: eg. i gave away 22 machines last month without batting an eye. [04:04] razz1, somewhere between easy and difficult, i've done it. once you have the server in place, adding new clients (users) is easy [04:04] razz1, not a bad solution for your case where you don't know the client IP ahead of time :) i like it [04:04] razz1: setup a consolidator to route via the vpn tunnel [04:04] jrtayloriv, yeah, what project are you building? For C++ stuff you just pass flags to ./configure script [04:04] it varies a lot [04:04] bbl [04:05] isotek: I wouldn't mind one, if you are feeling charitable. [04:05] spirals, I'm trying to build the latest git revision for pitivi, which is a python project. [04:05] razz1: i have 3 g3 hp servers sitting in my basement. [04:05] But it uses make/autoconf, so it would probably still work. [04:06] isotek: what are the specs? [04:06] jrtayloriv, so it uses the ./configure make make install instead of python setup.py? [04:06] so anyone have any interest in helping me play find the missing data? [04:06] isotek: whats a consolidator? [04:06] Dr_Willis: have you tried startupmanager? i'm gonna see if that makes any difference [04:06] spirals, yes [04:07] jrtayloriv, great, then there should be a way to pass "--with-gstreamer=/usr/local/gstreamer-0.uber-new" [04:07] razz1: they are all dual xeon's with between 4 and 12 gigs of ram and a collection of 32gb hard drives [04:07] jrtayloriv, to the configure script [04:07] spirals: which machine should be first choice for the vpn server? does it matter much [04:07] jrtayloriv, you'll also have to pass a custom install location to gstreamer and the other dep when you build their tarballs === dBugSlayer_afk is now known as dBugSlayer [04:07] isotek: love one of them. I live in Brisbane [04:07] razz1: a consolidator is generally a vpn endpoint that provides routing between the local network and the remote, generally they are just called vpn routers [04:08] Dr_Willis, http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt#165 The default option is data=ordered [04:08] spirals, And if I install gstreamer in /usr/local like that, everything else on the system will still used the apt-installed one right? i.e. there's no possible way it could destroy my gstreamer install system-wide? (just making sure) [04:08] razz1, only you can answer that, the way I did it was to use the same machine that was the "shell server" - the machine that all the other servers would allow ssh from [04:08] Anyway thanx. [04:08] good night. [04:08] razz1: thats a little far =P [04:08] spirals: thats generally called a "jump box" [04:08] isotek: damn my luck. still thanks for the offer. [04:09] jrtayloriv, yep. /usr/local/gstreamer0.x won't be in your system PATH [04:09] spirals: there are some configuration guidelines for creating those as well. [04:09] spirals, Excellent. Thanks a bunch for your help. [04:09] jrtayloriv, and ldconfig won't be looking there either [04:09] jrtayloriv, don't forget #python for nitty gritty details either :) you're welcome [04:09] razz1: no problem. [04:10] isotek, yeah that was the idea, it worked out well, I haven't heard them called that, will look it up [04:10] I'd be very grateful to anyone who can help me boot up. My screen hangs and becomes unresponsive just before I get to my desktop. I've reinstalled and that hasn't helped. Thanks [04:11] Dr_Willis: i think there is something wrong with the grub generated files. the graphic interface looks like a code injection of some sort [04:11] Kyokan: When you're booting. Try to press shift before the Ubuntu screen and get into grub. Can you do that? [04:11] spirals: isotek: is there a live cloning for linux distros that I can run on a debian server to clone all my machines over the net regularly with out much input from the user. [04:11] razz1, for config, check out puppet [04:11] I can try. What should I do once I am there? [04:12] Dr_Willis, how can i make my sound louder while listening to a DVD the sound from my speakers i know they can play louder, but the volume is all the way up [04:12] razz1, for backup, many solutions exist... i hand rolled rsync+ssh+cron... doesn't scale so well though [04:12] Kyokan: Remove 'splash' and 'quiet' Then we can see any error messages Ubuntu gives one booting [04:13] nevermind turned up output volume [04:13] spirals: did you try backintime, like it. [04:13] Edbian: I have tried to do that already but I am not sure that it worked. How do I remove it? [04:13] razz1, bacula gets great reviews in particular. haven't tried backintime. [04:13] spirals: best practice involves this: no build tools, locked down chroot with only the essencial tools, no etc hosts file, ssh key based auth only, the logs are to be pushed real time to an external box, one locked down shell availible and no history kept.... things like that. [04:14] Kyokan: Press the e key on the line you want to edit. You'll see at the end of it there are the words 'quiet' and 'splash' simply delete them [04:14] isotek: i like it. next time will certainly implement all that. [04:14] spirals: best I have come across so far. very efficient with disk space, only copies the changed files. very stable. Its a copy of timemachine for mac [04:14] spirals: the goal is that in the unlikely case of a comprimise the resulting traffic is very loud [04:15] isotek: the realtime log push would do that...is that typically done with the networked syslog (i forget its name) [04:15] Edbian I have done exactly that. I have an error GLib Warning get pwuid r () faiiled due to an unknown user id [04:15] spirals: syslog ng and stunnel [04:15] right [04:16] Dr_Willis: it kind of detected the vista install... in any case some weird artifacts are happening. i'll try to see what's on the boot screen, see what happens. wish me luck, and thanks for all the advice [04:16] Hey all, I'm trying to use a cdrom inside of a virtual macine (qemu) on Ubuntu. But when I use /dev/cdrom it's only showing one file on the CD-rom, not the whole CD... ideas? :/ [04:16] Gaming4JC, it sounds like you burned the ISO as data, not as an image [04:17] Gaming4JC: what is the name of the file? [04:17] Gaming4JC: it sounds like you've specified a directory as a cd drive, rather than the image itself. [04:17] is there a way to guarantee apt-get upgrade will proceed uninterrupted by things like samba workgroup and mysql-server password questions? [04:17] Kyokan: Do you have any other errors? [04:17] spirals: Works fine on ubuntu/windows native. Seems to be an issue with the /dev/cdrom link and/or the VM. The filename is autostart.exe [04:17] ayecee: checked that. :/ [04:17] I had a question about the Macubuntu. Is this installer basically a package of mac4lin and dockey? Also whats the main difference between Dockey and the Cairo Dock for whoever knows this? [04:18] razz1: nice one, I was looking for time machine clones the other day and all of the news articles about different software were all 'flashes in the pan', no consistent community around one yet it seemed [04:18] oh. that's a bit different then :) [04:18] I've also noticed some other CDs have the same problem [04:18] razz1: i'll look at 'backintime', it sounds a bit different in goals than bacula, which is more of a network management type tool [04:18] Kyokan: Can you boot into recovery mode? (are you running 10.10?) [04:18] pretty much anything over.... 37.5MB doesn't show up... :P [04:18] * Gaming4JC is confuzzled [04:18] edbian: grub recordfail [04:18] and I'm trying to do taxes on Ubuntu [04:19] so imagine xD [04:19] Gaming4JC, Not sure then. [04:19] Kyokan: That's what you get for recovery mode? [04:19] Edbian yes to both questions [04:19] Edbian: I am not sure where it came from now, sorry [04:19] Kyokan: Not sure where what came from? [04:20] Gaming4JC: what is the iso of? [04:20] Kyokan: Is that the only error you get? There are no others? They're vital clues while googling [04:21] Edbian: Bear with me one moment please [04:21] isotek: it's not an iso, it's a symbolic link from QEMU to /dev/cdrom. Happens to be H&R Block taxcut ... :P [04:21] Kyokan: Take your time. [04:21] trying to get the CD to show up in the VM so I can run it. :/ [04:21] spirals: thanks for dropping bacula and puppet, sound interesting and bacintime just saves data to a location on the network if it's available. i am looking at cloning over the net and local backups for the data. see you around, got to spend time with family. thanks once more. === DarkJuju is now known as juju2143 [04:22] isotek: fun chatting, see you around [04:22] THIS CHANNEL HAS MOVED TO #GAYDADS4SONS ON UNDERNET.

[04:23] specify partitions manually (advanced), instead of erase and use the entire disk [04:24] Better than TurboTax/H&R Block of course [04:24] :D [04:24] Gaming4JC perhaps the link should point to /dev/sr0 instead?

[04:25] Polah: yes? [04:25] isotek, i cannot boot normally [04:26] Gaming4JC, the lack of linux native tax programs has been a problem for almost decadeS now. It generally comes down to the huge amount of work required to keep up with individual tax codes for all states/nations applicable. This is why it's commercial software; it requires lots and lots of ongoing work every single year and will never be "done" [04:26] oobiloz: what do you get? [04:26] i've had to do the ctrl alt f1 to go to terminal, i am trying to copy the files in my hd into an external, i as ablet o copy one file, when i boot from usb, it doesn't see said file in my external [04:26] IdleOne: Dufyhn was spamming a few lines up. [04:26] Gaming4JC, it's a hard problem [04:26] Kyokan: How goes it? [04:26] Polah: yup saw it. server killed them [04:26] oobiloz: so you get to x but cant login? [04:26] i get that strange cursor and the purple wallpaper, that's IT. until i hit the ctrl alt f1, then i end up in terminal, i've to do everything from terminal [04:26] IdleOne: Ah yes, I missed the leave message. My mistake. [04:27] Polah: no worries :) [04:27] Edbian: ty for your patience. I initially had warning re gnome control centre- libslab_get_gconf_value: error getting /desktop/gnome/applications/main menu/lock down/user modifiable apps [04:27] spirals: At the dawn of a new century you'd have thought there'd be some attempts... *googles* http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ ? Quick everyone support and port. :D [04:27] i was able to login through terminal but everything through terminal. i cudn't change directory to my external, permission denied, even with sudo. but for some reason i was able to copy one file into it, which doesn't show when i boot from usb [04:27] Kyokan: That error was generated when? and by what? [04:27] Is there any way to change the size of Unity in 11.04? [04:27] Gaming4JC, but every single state has to be up to date every year or people can't trust it [04:27] oobiloz: in therminal try this, sudo apt-get remove gdm [04:28] right now, i am booting from usb [04:28] i can still do that? [04:28] spirals: True that. We'd need to get MOTU to get into it. [04:28] :P [04:28] oobiloz: sudo apt-get purge gdm [04:28] Gaming4JC, haha yep. [04:28] oobiloz: sudo apt-get install gdm [04:28] oobiloz: no, not via the usb [04:28] (and by size of Unity, I mean whatever shell is dropping down from the main menu at this point — the size is huge. I have a 24" monitor and it takes up ~1/3rd of it displaying 5 app icons and a search bar) [04:28] Edbian: another on load xbel store. I believe this was from gnome control centre [04:28] ooh [04:28] when i try with the proper HD Instead [04:28] ? [04:28] Kyokan: What is an xbel store? [04:28] Gaming4JC, I hope that helps explain the gaping hole though. A better way to fix the problem is probably to get WINE to fully support TurboTax or etc [04:28] spirals: [04:29] True, but it has a bug... :p [04:29] Kyokan: I'm surprised the gnome-control-center ran at all if you're unable to boot the system and log in. [04:29] they were my initial problems [04:29] spirals: Wine seems to suffer a large number of regression, really bad when you want to depend on it for something such as taxes... so :/ [04:29] Or QB or whatever. [04:29] I have been booting from live cd [04:29] oobiloz: correct, boot into your system then alt-ctl-f1 login and then remove and reinstall gdm [04:29] mdwright_laptop: its a work in progress.. ask in #ubuntu+1 and i think theres a range of sizes you can change to [04:29] Gaming4JC, exactly - now you see why people do taxes on windows ;) [04:29] ;(* [04:29] Is there something can do to get you some better info to work with? [04:30] may i ask what that would do exactly? [04:30] Dr_Willis: Thanks! [04:30] spirals: Taxes on Windows? Ew... imagine how many identitys are stolen each year due to that insecure OS... [04:30] will that finally give me the graphic interface i desire??? [04:30] Unity is sloooow.So.. Is It still Alpha version ? Or something wrong with my install ? im on AMD64 turion. hmm.. well.. broadcom wireless not working as always. wonder If they will ever fix that issue. or wait for broadcom to foreclose [04:30] Gaming4JC, a lot of Linux users also just pay the local H&R Block, if slashdot can be believed. [04:30] Kyokan: Tell me the whole story from start to finish. Explain what xbel means. Starts your sentences with my name like I'm doing for you. [04:30] Gaming4JC, it's a reasonable professional solution for the problem and only costs a little more than the yearly tax software box [04:30] Kyokan: Clearly outline what problem you want to fix right now along with all the problems you currently have. [04:31] Gaming4JC: i pay to have my taxes done. [04:31] spirals: H&R block actually uses Windows and keeps it pretty out dated from what I see. Not sure I trust them with my SSN ;P [04:31] not to mention I could due it myself, with a little work. [04:31] :) [04:31] do* / due (all the same, haha) [04:31] More than a little work. [04:31] I can't remember about xbel. However, after I booted up, my screen was black and unresponsive. The only thing visible on my desktop is a box for me to enter a keychain [04:31] But yes, good luck :) [04:31] how can I know on which partition which OS is installed? I have 9.10 & 10.04 installed side by side. I want to delete 9.10 [04:32] That window has it's borders missing [04:32] keychain? [04:32] the only thing I use windows for is playing my online game that doesn't allow linux connections ... and looking outside ... lol [04:32] spirals: I still think a VM could do just fine for tax preperation? :D (If some one could just help me with cdrom issue *cough* ) [04:32] i can enter the keychain (for my wireless I think) but it has no effect [04:32] Gaming4JC, download the installer inside the VM instead? [04:32] i use windows at work. [04:32] because they make me [04:32] hi - i have a little network with both machines running ubuntu (10.10 and 11.04 alpha). i want to be transfer some files from my laptop (10.10) to pc (11.04). how can i create a share on my pc so my laptop can access it? do i need to setup a 'workgroup' or similar? [04:32] Can someone help me figure out why "sudo update-grub-legacy" fails to move me from grub 1.98 to grub2? I'm following the tutorial here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:32] Gaming4JC, or try a different VM host - which are you on now [04:32] researcher123: good question. I want to delete a Ubuntu as well. I wonder how that is done. [04:33] Kyokan: Please use my name [04:33] isotek: how will the gdm make my life easier [04:33] researcher123: has anyone answered your question yet? i'm waiting on that as well [04:33] spirals: perhaps.... I'm using WinVISTA *worst OS ever* but same thing occured on XP. [04:33] landingonwater: we can expect great help here [04:33] Gaming4JC, try virtualbox if you're not on it [04:33] spirals: QEMU currently. [04:33] landingonwater: i agree with researcher123, this is the most helpful channel i've found so far [04:33] we could protest unfair labor practices against employers who force us to use windows ... [04:33] Edbian: sorry....It occasionally connects but I have nothing else visible on the desktop to click on. I can't use anything from there on but the cursor moves [04:33] Love QEMU launcher... :) [04:33] Kyokan: Do you ever reach the login screen. (Still no idea what the heck xbel is) [04:33] Gaming4JC, yeah try virtualbox. similar ease of use, might 'just work' since your problem is fairly mysterious [04:34] * spirals waves hands [04:34] oobiloz: gdm, is the part that is most likely broken [04:34] Kyokan: It occasionally connects? connects to what? wifi? [04:34] researcher123, Just boot into one of them and see which partitions are mounted [04:34] Edbian: I believe that is the login stage - yes wifi === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [04:35] isotek: ah, thank you :) i will try that in a bit, i am waiting on the answer on researcher123's query [04:35] Edbian: I am set to auto-connect but I have to enter my pw for the wifi [04:35] Gaming4JC, are you sure the rest of the files aren't flagged 'hidden' for windows? maybe autostart.exe or whatever is all windows can see. I assume it doesn't work when you open it in the qemu windows environment === darkdevil is now known as Guest28598 === Guest28598 is now known as Guest48150 [04:35] jrtayloriv: so the correct way is to delete the partition with the OS, and then edit Grub afterwards ? [04:35] Kyokan: This all the harddrive install right? Not a live CD [04:35] spirals: Yeah, the whole CD-rom as seen in the VM is only 37.5MB. Installer fails due to missing files. :( [04:35] Edbian yes [04:36] ok i gotta ask.... is frostwire worth it now that limewire is done with? lol [04:36] Kyokan: So the problem is you have no icons and no panels? [04:36] no problems with livecd [04:36] spirals: and it works fine on Ubuntu /media/H&RBlock [04:36] Edbian: yes, and my screen is unresponsive [04:36] Also tested /dev/sr0 same issue :P [04:36] i'm going to try what you said now isotek [04:36] Kyokan: But the mouse moves? How is it unresponsive? [04:36] Vista is like shagging you first chick ever, and getting all sexual transmitted diseases in one go. I hate that OS so much :D [04:36] landingonwater, no -- he was asking how to determine which partitions 9.04 was installed on. [04:36] Gaming4JC, I'd definitely try another VM host if you've exhausted troubleshooting for qemu /cdrom (is there a #qemu channel?) [04:36] technical question for you linux gurus. Everytime I activate my Proprietary drivers for my Radeon 6550Mobility with ATI/AMD FGLRX and I reboot to complete the installation it and only boots into command line. Any thoughts?removes the gui [04:37] Edbian: I have pop up notifications, the mouse moves (although my cursor has changed) but it doesn't work [04:37] jrtayloriv: ooh.. i see. that should be easy enough ofcoarse. [04:37] Gaming4JC, yes there is a #qemu, try there before you install virtualbox [04:37] spirals: Yeah I've been waiting around on #qemu seems deathly quiet tonight [04:37] kk [04:37] definitely sounds like a qemu specific issue though. [04:37] Kyokan: What do you mean it 'doesn't work' Is there anything to click on? [04:37] JonStatiK: the drivers didn't work. it's hard to say more from the description. checked the X logs? [04:37] Kyokan: Maybe it 'works' but there is nothing clickable on the screen [04:37] spirals: Yeah, could be. Guess I'll try for VirtualBox... *downloads* [04:38] Kyokan: What happens if you press alt + F2 ? [04:38] Edbian: I have also tried different shortcuts with function keys and theat does nothing either. There is nothing to click on no [04:38] Edbian: nothing [04:38] ive not checked the logs, no. [04:38] Gaming4JC, good luck, i'm away for a bit, plenty of people run virtualbox if you run into the same weirdness again. [04:38] Kyokan: ctrl + alt + F1 ? [04:38] Vista was a Mac hoax .... hehe [04:38] JonStatiK: that would be the best place to start. [04:38] spirals: ok, thanks. :) [04:38] Edbian: nothing [04:38] Hey, I'm trying to go from grub legacy to grub 2, and what I'm trying isn't working. Can anyone assist me in troubleshooting the process? Thanks! (what i'm trying: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2) [04:39] Semitones: what happens when you ty? [04:39] Kyokan: Can you boot recovery mode? [04:39] Yes [04:39] Edbian: I am not confident as to what I am doing though [04:39] ayecee, well "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" finishes with no errors, but when I boot I have grub 1.98 still [04:40] Kyokan: boot into recovery mode. Do you see any errors while it is booting? When you get to the multi-choice question. Choose boot Ubuntu normally and see what it does. [04:40] Kyokan: Can you chat with my on here while you work on the target machine? [04:40] Semitones: 1.98 is the latest, ie it =2 [04:40] oh haha, thanks! [04:41] mmmk [04:41] Edbian: I am on the target machine so I will have to connect another computer [04:41] hola [04:41] somewhat weird question - does ubuntu need any virus protection and is there any available? [04:41] Edbian can you give me 5 mins to get the other machine? [04:41] good question [04:41] Kyokan: pause, you're talking to me on xchat, on the target machine. How did you pull that off? [04:41] I am using the livecd [04:41] Kyokan: ahhh [04:42] A|i3N: no, and not really [04:42] A|i3N: It does not need virus protection. [04:42] A|i3N: There isn't really any. [04:42] how do I install flash on an amd64 architecture install? [04:42] the only version on adobes site is i386 [04:42] Weems, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:43] seems as if it's not detecting the graphics card the log says (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found. [04:43] sudo apt-get install flash-installer [04:43] is there a backtrack channel? [04:43] theres a gnacktrack channel [04:43] ! backtrack | JoeJohn [04:43] JoeJohn: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [04:43] which is kinda like backtrack [04:43] only with more gnome [04:44] iotek: theres not a flash installer [04:44] isotek* [04:44] Weems: sudo apt-get update [04:44] ok [04:44] isotek: i did as you have intructed. This is what I got: Failed to acquire org.gnome. Display manager connection ":1.28" is not allowed to own the service "ogr.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the confif file [04:45] Warning: could not acquire name; bailing out [04:45] check /var/log/messages i think you might find something there [04:45] me? [04:45] think it could be because im on a laptop and hardware/drivers are somewhat picky? [04:45] Weems: flashplugin-installer [04:45] my bad. [04:45] is there anything else i can do at this point? [04:46] oh [04:46] apart from installing a new OS, keeping names, and hopi9ng that will keep my files? [04:47] oobiloz: tail /var/log/messages [04:47] Edbian: I can't get another computer right now. However, if I boot up normally, everything goes smoothly up to the point where I enter the password into the window and I hit enter but nothing happens. After that I cannot even delete the text I just entered [04:48] Kyokan: That password is to connect Wifi right? Is the system normal if you don't enter your password? [04:49] Edbian: correct. Not normal as my desktop doesn't display normally [04:49] Kyokan: What if you boot into recovery mode? [04:49] Edbian for eg. My icons and panels are missing [04:50] Kyokan: ctrl+alt+f1 [04:50] Kyokan: Does alt + f2 work before you enter hte password? [04:50] login [04:50] Kyokan: or ctrl + alt + F1 [04:50] Edbian: I don't think it works before either but I can double chesk [04:50] Kyokan: tail /var/log/messages [04:50] isotek: anything i should look for in particular? [04:50] Kyokan: typing into the wifi password box works. [04:50] Kyokan: I'm pretty sure ctrl + alt + F1 will work. [04:51] I did have a tail message yes [04:51] oobiloz:just give me the line you see most often [04:51] isotek: thank you. will do it now. bbiab [04:51] can anyone help me set up mod_rewrite in apache2? [04:51] Edbian: OK I will try it. If it works, what should I do then? [04:52] Kyokan: You can use ctrl + alt + F7 to go back to graphics. I would like to see the output of tail /var/log/messages if at all possibles [04:52] Kyokan: or, better yet, tail dmesg [04:52] Edbian: can you tell me how to get those messages, please? [04:52] wow, that ethan guy sure did give a lot of oprotunity to answer [04:53] Kyokan: just do ctrl + alt + F1 and then run tail dmesg and tell me what it says [04:53] Kyokan: Sorry, tail /var/log/messages [04:53] Kyokan: type the command "tail -n 20 /var/log/messages" [04:53] Kyokan: tail dmesg does not work [04:54] 'dmesg | tail' will work though [04:54] Edbian: do I run that from recovery mode as I need to sign out of here whilst i do this [04:55] If I want someone to ssh to my computer, but I don't want them to know my password, is it possible to make another user account and have them log in to it while I'm logged into my account? [04:55] Kyokan: no. listen. boot normally, don't enter the wifi password. Instead press crtl + alt + F1, log in there, and then run tail /var/log/messages [04:55] isotek: i only got one line. Permission denied [04:55] jrtayloriv: yes, it will return 5 results however instead [04:55] rypervenche: yes [04:55] rypervenche: That is exactly what you should do. [04:55] oobiloz: as root? [04:55] yyes [04:55] sudo su [04:55] rypervenche: useradd [04:56] maybe i did something wrong, let me try again, it sounds like it should work [04:56] oobiloz: run whoami [04:56] isotek, Then he can type 'dmesg | tail -n 20' [04:56] Edbian: understood. brb [04:56] thank you [04:56] * oobiloz away again [04:56] Kyokan: god speed [04:56] jrtayloriv: yes, i do know how tail works. [04:58] isotek, I have no way of knowing that, especially when you just stated something that wasn't true about it, and didn't give any indication that you knew that you could specify how many lines it would print. [04:58] jrtayloriv: what I said was completely factual. [04:59] isotek, No, what you said was false. It prints 10 lines, not 5. [04:59] jrtayloriv: ah, indeed my bad. [05:00] No worries. [05:01] Anyone here know how to fix the issue where broadcom cannot connect to "unsecured" wireless networks, without using ndiswrapper [05:02] mcurran: broadcom... 4312 ?

[05:07] What is it? [05:07] nothing. Just felt lonely for a second there [05:07] -_- [05:07] isotek, tail is a standard Unix utility, and defaults to 10. It's the same on FreeBSD and Solaris. I'm not familiar with hpUX, but I'm sure it's probably the same there too. [05:07] * spirals ushers edbian into the hugbox [05:08] you are not alone, may the force be with you ~~ edbian [05:08] :) [05:09] can someone please tell me why when everytime I try n open wine or halo ce, ubuntu always has that red like do not enter sign?? ..kind of like a red x or yellow ! on windows [05:10] mymeatinyourseat: where exactly are you seeing this sign?

You could perhaps get some logging/error mesages by starting compiz from a terminal. open a terminal. run 'compiz --replace' run for a bit.. and wait for it to crash and look for any error messages [05:36] LittleRed, i can show you the complete query if you want [05:36] it starts with when ubuntu 11 comes out next month, will we get it through the package manager or do we have to download and burn the iso [05:36] NeedSomeH: Yes, it might be something 'different' [05:36] LittleRed, http://pastebin.com/UEj920b2 [05:37] mymeatinyourseat: You can upgrade.. [05:37] mymeatinyourseat: but i normally do clean installs. [05:37] Dr_Willis, And now it doesn't crash... o.O [05:37] upgrade..?? [05:37] !upgrade [05:37] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:37] heard there were instructional vids on youtube for sql ... [05:37] is that automattic updates or the CD [05:38] Update manager can be set to ask to upgrade to the next release. [05:38] is there a better channel for the issue I'm having? [05:38] bob__, "Heard there were instruction vids on YouTube for **" [05:38] finilly, that'swath i've found to do the job :/ [05:38] wathing people type in sql queries.. with a Heavy Metal soundtrack! :) [05:38] NeedSomeH: it could be that you are concatinating (sp?) [05:39] [Amarok] [title: I Am The Walrus] [artist: The Beatles] [album: Magical Mystery Tour [DESS MFSL-1-047]] [05:39] NeedSomeH, Again, you'll probably have a lot more success if you take 1 minute to register an IRC nick and ask in the channel that is specifically dedicated to SQL [05:39] lol ya ... anything you can think of ... have had several professors use youtube for intructional vids ... [05:39] root__, disable that please [05:40] cool. so, I won't have to upgrade with the cd and reformat my comp?? [05:40] You'll spend a lot more than 1 minute trying to get an answer in the wrong channel [05:40] NeedSomeH: does user have a month and day fields? [05:40] ah figured out my screen issue lol [05:40] I D O N ' T K N O W H O W [05:40] mymeatinyourseat: normally people 'upgrade' via their network connection. not a cd.. ( but you canupgrade with the alt-installer cd) [05:40] mymeatinyourseat: so i guess thats a yes. [05:40] LittleRed, on line 6 you mean? [05:41] I want the auto update thing and not have to use a cd [05:41] NeedSomeH: yes line 6... [05:42] and if that's ture, then why can't I get the 11beta through the update manager [05:42] mymeatinyourseat: you can upgrade now to the 11.04 ALPHA3 if you wanted to [05:42] mymeatinyourseat: so far its taken this pc like 5 hrs to upgrade.... [05:42] LittleRed, nope, tried without concat's [05:42] and its not done yet. [05:42] mymeatinyourseat:in alt+f2 use update-manager -d [05:42] can I do it without using a cd [05:43] mymeatinyourseat: for the 100th time.. YES.. you dont need the cd. [05:43] yes [05:43] i need help with tap0 interface [05:43] i setup a tap 0 interface , and connect it to a cloud in GNS3 , i can ping the tap 0 int but not what is connected to it which is on the same /24 network [05:43] sorry, dw [05:43] mymeatinyourseat: if you have to ask such questions.. then i dont think you really want to be upgrading to alpha level software at this time. [05:43] NeedSomeH: i'm looking at it and wonder if there is a primary key or secondary... how does the query know what info belongs together [05:43] i can ping 192.168.1.150/24 but i can't ping 192.168.1.151/24 on F0/0 of RouterD http://www.screencast.com/users/i3igmind/folders/Jing/media/be827da7-a54c-4583-867a-5e261481d7fb can somehelp me please [05:44] Is there an easy way to setup gnome-shell? i tried it today and got a million billion error messages [05:44] LittleRed, the column count and datatypes in both SELECTs matches [05:44] Well folks, it's sleepy time. But before I go: http://xkcd.com/149/ [05:44] jiltdil and dw, can u please tell me what to put in the terminal to get the alpha [05:45] LittleRed, both have a stringcolumn, yearcolumn, then another string [05:45] mymeatinyourseat: it was given just earlier.... by jiltdil [05:45] mymeatinyourseat: expect it to take like 4+ hrs to finish... [05:45] astropirate: i'm running 10.10 and installed it via apt [05:45] mymeatinyourseat: and its possible it could fail and leave you with a unuseable system.. [05:45] NeedSomeH: I'm at a dead end.... [05:46] s5fs, when did you?i th ought they stoped updating it there [05:46] jiltdil | mymeatinyourseat:in alt+f2 use update-manager -d [05:46] thanks for the warning, dw [05:46] s5fs, ok, apt found it and is installing [05:46] how do i switch to it? [05:46] LittleRed, could it be because event in the first select is a textfield, while name in the second select is a varchar(255) ? [05:46] once its isntalled [05:47] astropirate: I think I just ran it from the command-line. [05:47] How do I transfer stuff to my iPhone? [05:47] NeedSomeH: UNION just removes duplicate data.... when you run it do you get any results? [05:48] hmm the resulotion is all fracked up [05:48] then if it's unstable, is there a beta I can get instead of the alpha?? [05:48] LittleRed, no, error 1271 Illegal mix of collations for operation 'UNION' [05:48] mymeatinyourseat:wait for 1 more month you will get final release [05:48] astropirate: i didn't spend a great deal of time working with it. seemed really "not my speed" i guess, haha [05:49] Building a new mythbuntu machine (0.24 on 10.10) with an nvidia GT430 and a 42" Full HD TV. This is replacing my old FE/BE. All seems ok with 260.19.06 except the aspect ratio in myth was not quite right (TV reporting incorrect DPI), so I manually added the correct DPI option to xorg.conf. This fixed the aspect ratio in myth, but on the desktop (xfce) all fonts are tiny - just readable but not usable. Any idea why? [05:49] mymeatinyourseat: its not out in beta yet.. [05:49] dw, why does ubuntu always release their DVDs on the dates corresponding to their DVD versions [05:49] NeedSomeH: look at this http://www.karakas-online.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3515 [05:50] anyone here using GNS3 please [05:50] mymeatinyourseat: You got it backwards. the version # IS the date... [05:50] like ubuntu 10.10 was released on 10/10/2010 [05:50] mymeatinyourseat: because the version # is the date.. [05:50] and the date is the version #. :) [05:50] at 10:10am [05:50] oh [05:50] they dont always do it on the eaact time, [05:51] and its not always on the same 'day' 11.04 = 2011. 4th month [05:51] you know, i've never actually noticed that before lol [05:51] DaPenguin: :) [05:51] DaPenguin: i find it rather silly really. but at least its easy to rember [05:51] hey Dr_Willis [05:51] hello hiexpo [05:52] LittleRed, hmm.. cant see he uses a UNION in his query === rhp is now known as gheart [05:52] and 11.04 will be released on 4/11 [05:52] 2011 4th month... [05:52] mymeatinyourseat, the 28th [05:52] That's what I read on the timeline unless it's been pulled back [05:53] thers always a chance of delays [05:53] Of course. [05:53] what the heck is sbackup looking for as a backup file when I want to restore? the .ful directory is there, with a .tgz in it... now I'm gunzipping the .tgz, is it looking for a tar? [05:53] can I ask linux Qs in here or does it have to stay strictly ubuntu [05:53] mymeatinyourseat: go crazy [05:53] well, ubuntu is linux lol [05:53] mymeatinyourseat: ubuntu is linux. so most all apply :) [05:54] mymeatinyourseat:linux is the kernel name and ubuntu is its flavour :) [05:54] I know if I want windows, then go to windows, but.. === doodoo is now known as Dart [05:54] mymeatinyourseat, also, please change your nick to something less offensive. I personally don't care but others in here may [05:54] NeedSomeH: looks like there may be a bug in MySQL ... google the exact error... [05:54] syn-ack: I assumed he was a butcher who often provided car services to the underpriviledged. [05:54] my sn is the most unique in the world!! [05:55] LittleRed, hmm ok, thanks. Gotta look at it tomorrow [05:55] Is there a way to enable starting X applications on a remote Ubuntu desktop over ssh? [05:55] lazyPower, look at x forwarding [05:56] for example, i'd like to ssh into my desktop, and start a VLC session. however i'm getting a "unable to connect to x server" [05:56] lazyPower, think you need vnc for that [05:56] lazyPower: dont enable the X forwaring on the ssh sesson, export the proper DISPLAY variable. and perhaps you need to use the 'xhost +' command to allow the app to apper on the remote... [05:56] dw, can u please tell me what linux OS is best for each of the following.. [05:56] syn-ack: that only "forwards" the connection to my client so i could se it locally right? thats not what i want. [05:56] vnc does not work that way. :) [05:57] Dr_Willis, oh, ok, never really had a need for it, i tend to stick to a cli even on my local machine lol [05:57] lazyPower: so you wanna ssh in and launch an app so the display is on the *remote* machine, yes? [05:57] lazyPower: You need to set the DISPLAY properly, and disable the 'xhost' security settings. [05:57] s5fs: correct. [05:57] Dr_Willis: i have display exported to 0:0 [05:58] Dr_Willis: so the issue lies in xhost then? [05:58] actuyally the xhost command may need to be ran first on the remote box. (not over the ssh session) [05:58] ahh crap [05:58] Its an X security thing tokeep people from taking over/doing things to a curently ruynning x session [05:58] :| i dont have a keyboard atached to that system [05:59] make a script in the users startup that does it. or make script you can double clcik on that runs it. [05:59] been years since ive done it that way === rhp is now known as gheart [05:59] Dr_Willis: no input devices :P its a dummy box at present, i was setting up xbmc on it. [05:59] you could make a terminal/screen session on the remote box. and ssh into it and use screen to connet also [06:00] xbmc has a remote-control feaure. :) [06:00] indeed [06:00] however [06:00] its not running [06:00] My android phone can controll my xbmc pc. [06:00] thats my issue [06:00] i need to restart xbmc, and i didnt put it in the auto-start list [06:00] does xorg still read a .xinitrc? [06:01] how do I change my login screen in gnome [06:01] i could just kill reboot the box and toss xbmc in the xinit [06:01] lazyPower: err.. xbmc need to be ran after X is going... [06:01] lazyPower, think it's like xorg.conf in that it'll still read it if it's there [06:01] splash [06:01] lazyPower: actually I think i noticed XBMC listed in the gdm sessions [06:02] Dr_Willis: Dr_Willis uhm, .xinitrc on the XFree86 legacy system that linux used back in the day was how you set your DE/WM [06:02] I heard the best way to destroy a CD is to put it in the microwave and the best way to destroy hdd data is to shread the hdd and melt it. and I've heard of derik's boot and nuke. is that a better hdd format than anything linux has or what OS is good on linux for destroying data?? ..like giving it 10 passes [06:02] Dr_Willis: thats why i'm thinking, if xorg has that legacy hook i could just drop that in the config. [06:02] lazyPower: tjheres a speficic gdm session that does read the users .xinitrc BUT i think these days its actually .xsession thats used. not .xinitrc [06:02] dw, respond to me please [06:02] I heard the best way to destroy a CD is to put it in the microwave and the best way to destroy hdd data is to shread the hdd and melt it. and I've heard of derik's boot and nuke. is that a better hdd format than anything linux has or what OS is good on linux for destroying data?? ..like giving it 10 passes [06:03] ah ok [06:03] mymeatinyourseat: perhaps if you used my actial nick i may notice it.... [06:03] should have known ;) [06:03] lazyPower: if you have a user set to autologin. there was a xbmc session int he gdm menus. that you could just select for them [06:03] mymeatinyourseat: with most IRC clients, if you use the person's nickname, it highlights your message in some way, making it easier to see. [06:03] !tab | mymeatinyourseat [06:03] mymeatinyourseat: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:04] not sure I can help mc\0vin ... never used GNS and only a very limited experience with Cpanel ... but it doesn't sound like the software is the issue ... you said you couldn't ping consecutive addresses ... are all 254 addresses on that /24 on the same subnet or have you further subnetted or otherwise seperated the nodes? [06:04] How do I install Unity? [06:04] !unity [06:04] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [06:04] !info unity [06:04] unity (source: unity): Unity Interface for Ubuntu Netbook Edition. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.46-0ubuntu5 (maverick), package size 125 kB, installed size 484 kB [06:05] thanks, ub [06:05] be back in 10 min.. if im lucky [06:06] great. dw left the room [06:06] now who's gonna help me?? [06:06] anyone know how to transfer stuff from ubuntu to iPhone? anyone had any luck with ifuse itunnel?? === hasebe is now known as hasebe_ [06:07] mymeatinyourseat, well, for erasing hdds you could look into cating /dev/null or /dev/urandom to the device [06:08] j5: I tried about 3mo ago and wasn't able to get IOS 4.1 working. Haven't tried since. [06:08] sorry meat ... not an linux guru ... just a user myself ... now if you have a network issue ... especially subnetting ... let me know ... lol === hasebe_ is now known as hasebe [06:09] bob__: how's your v6 knowledge? [06:09] DaPenguin, sorry, on a scale of 1-10 I'm like a 6 with windows and a 3 or 4 with linux === Logan_ is now known as [Live] [06:09] DaPenguin, what is cating and all that other stuff [06:09] my applet of logout,shutdown etc suddenly dissappear now why it happend? [06:10] mymeatinyourseat: concatenating? [06:10] like most of us ... not as good as it will need to be in the not so distant future ... which is why I'm back in school actually ... what's your question? [06:10] goodafternoon [06:11] I noticed on the Ubuntu website it has 32-bit as recommended. I'm rather curious if that's also the case on 64-bit PCs too? My concern is if I were to install 32-bit, well... I have 6 GB of memory and with 32-bit software only using up to 4 GB... will I be leaving out 2 GB? [06:11] mymeatinyourseat, ok sudo cat /dev/null > /dev/sd(x) where (x) is the drive letter will overwrite every byte on the drive with 0's. if you're looking for multiple passes just do it multiple times. or you can script it [06:11] goodmorning [06:11] how do I highlight, right-click and copy in this X chat thing?? [06:11] can i run xubuntu 10.10 to Pentium II [06:11] bob__: I'm in the same boat, just looking for someone who has made the transition in knowledge. I'm still making baby steps, still no practical application in my current work. [06:11] abahkaiyisah, with a lightweight enough desktop, probably [06:11] Schala: yes but the likelyhood that you'd actually use that extra 2GB is minimal [06:11] pentium 2 with kde 4..?? [06:12] leonxii: doubt it [06:12] abahkaiyisah, might want to check out lubuntu for that [06:12] kde? i dont think so [06:12] leonxii: #kubuntu [06:12] DaPenguin, what linux OS is the best for erasing?? [06:12] Hmm.... alright. So there's no performance hit either I hope? [06:12] lubuntu? ok, i'll check it out [06:12] segaci me too [06:12] mymeatinyourseat, any of them with a command line will do it effectively [06:12] DaPenguin, is it backtrac?? [06:13] ..k [06:13] Schala: I believe even the newer 32-bit kernels have addressing extensions (pae) that let you access more than 4GB so don't worry... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [06:13] mymeatinyourseat, backtrack probably has more tools by default, but just keep in mind it's ubuntu based anyway, so if you want a particular app chances are it's in the ubuntu repos anyway [06:14] well not a software issue for most of us ... all OSs on the Windows side after XPsp2 are v6 ready ... the only problem will be hardware ... cisco says all versions from v12 on are gtg ... [06:14] DaPis backtrack in the debian family?? [06:14] oh wow very interesting.... Well if 32-bit PAE can do that, why use Ubuntu 64 at all? [06:15] redhat is also gtg ... [06:15] Schala: PAE is an ugly hack. [06:15] mymeatinyourseat, it's an ubuntu derivative, so yes :) [06:15] ah [06:15] Schala: If you can run a 64-bit OS, go for it. [06:16] DaPenguin, so ANY linux OS is better than dirk's boot and nook [06:16] mymeatinyourseat: can I ask what you're erasing, and how badly you need to hide it? [06:16] Well I guess I can pick up a few blank DVDs tomorrow.... I rather ignorantly burned Ubuntu 32 to my last blank DVD some time ago. [06:16] Schala: Truth is, unless you're regularly using boatloads of ram, you probably won't notice the difference between 32 and 64. I tend to run 64bit myself. [06:16] mymeatinyourseat, i've got zero idea what that is lol [06:16] Schala: you may be able to create a bootable usb thumbdrive, I rarely burn dvds now. [06:17] the real v6 issues will be on the smaller and older systems ... including home routers ... they are too small and dumb to be upgradeable so will need to be replaced [06:17] Schala: Also, IMO, quality/stability in the 64-bit builds lags behind the 32-bit builds... [06:17] Loshki, just currious about comps [06:17] mymeatinyourseat, the thing about linux is all flavors are pretty much cross compatible, so any app you can get on one you can get on another most of the time [06:17] hmm..... the only external devices I have are a 2 GB SD card and an external 2 TB drive which proved to be very slow at running Ubuntu on in the past [06:17] bob__: Agreed, but I honestly don't see much reason for small home networks to conver to v6, v4 and nat works fine. I think it'll be a while before that trend goes away. [06:18] mymeatinyourseat, it's even possible to install rpms on debian distros lol [06:18] DaPenguin, thanks for the info [06:18] agreed ... [06:18] mymeatinyourseat: most of us are more worried about how to keep our disks and cd's readable :-) [06:18] Schala: I guess'll need DVDs then, sorry. [06:19] DaPenguin, yeah, 'cause debian is the parrent to redhat and ubuntu [06:19] mymeatinyourseat, not redhat, no [06:19] Schala: you can also boot direct from an iso with an added custom grub2 entry [06:19] My dad also has a few 300 GB drives, but they are around 10 years old. I'm rather concerned about using a 10 year old drive on a computer I just bought in November [06:19] oooh [06:20] bob__: Until there is a "killer app" for v6 I think the uptake is going to be glacial. Even still, I think it's time to set up a lab. [06:20] is there a ubuntu 64bit version for laptops? [06:20] DaPenguin, then why when I get stuff from the apt get whatever the hell it's called.. it ends with a .rpm [06:20] SightUp: yes, it's the same one for 64bit desktops [06:20] mymeatinyourseat, these days you've got 2 main forks of linux distros, rpm based and debian based, with a few extras like arch, slack, and source style distros [06:20] lol ... I'm working on that issue myself ... [06:20] why would they make two? and then have a notebook one? [06:20] i just wasted my life lo [06:20] lol [06:20] how can I install urxvt-url-select under ubuntu, this package is one in Archlinux . [06:21] SightUp: do you mean "netbook"? [06:21] any instructions for grub2? I'm guessing I'll need to take some instructions down [06:21] Evanescence: what happens when you try? [06:21] mymeatinyourseat, usually apt is going to pull .deb files... [06:21] SightUp: Ubuntu Netbook Edition doesn't have a 64-bit ISO. [06:21] oh did i install the netbook ed? [06:21] Evanescence, amy lee is HOT!! [06:21] theres very few 64bit netbooks... [06:21] SightUp: lol, you very well may have :-D [06:21] SightUp: I don't know, did you :\? [06:21] ayecee: I can not search this package [06:21] mymeatinyourseat: ?? [06:22] arg how can i check? [06:22] Schala: to do what with grub2? [06:22] Evanescence: what does that package do? [06:22] I mean, I just got the AMD64 ISO, but viewing the contents just proves to be rather confusing. [06:22] SightUp: take a screenshot, upload to http://imagebin.org/ [06:22] ayecee: one package let urxvt can click url in terminal [06:22] whats the screenshot button on linux? [06:22] print screen? [06:22] Dr_Willis, my EEE 1005PE is 64bit - i don't notice much advantage with only 1G RAM though [06:23] SightUp, depends on the screenshot app, but usually prtscrn [06:23] SightUp: yes [06:23] install 64-bit Ubuntu? I'm thinking if it's possible to boot up with my older 32-bit DVD burned copy from CD and install 64-bit from ISO [06:23] i dont even have a print screen key [06:23] <---- knows from personal experience that OSX will run on at least one Dell netbook model ... lol [06:23] Evanescence: it appears theere's no corresponding package in ubuntu. If the stock rxvt package doesn't allow url clicking, there doesn't seem to be a way to change that [06:23] :L [06:23] :3 [06:23] With Mysql, does hello.world denote hello as the machine mysql is on and world as the database name? [06:23] Schala: not sure this what you want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [06:24] Evanescence, you could try an alternative terminal app [06:24] SightUp: get a scrot [06:24] ayecee: maybe the urxvt package in ubuntu already include this small package when i install it . [06:24] !scrot [06:24] Evanescence: it very well could be. give it a try. [06:24] DaPenguin: I know, but I like it , [06:24] ayecee: ok [06:24] hmm... it says I need a flash drive with Ubuntu.... will a DVD with Ubuntu burned on it work instead? [06:25] SightUp try scrot [06:25] Schala: I've used the same to boot from hard disk [06:25] im trying to get my connection working [06:25] it just died [06:25] DaPenguin, tell me again please. when I go to the synaptic package manager, what is the name of the file or software I need to look for for hdd erasing?? [06:25] hmm...ok [06:26] Schala: all you need is the iso file on a hard disk and the grub entry on your boot disk [06:26] s [06:26] mymeatinyourseat: theres numerous secure deletion tools out there. it depends on how paranoid you are and the time you want to spend. [06:26] !info dban [06:26] Package dban does not exist in maverick [06:27] mymeatinyourseat, there's probably a couple that do it, i always just handle stuff like that from the terminal [06:27] Schala: the hard part can be if you need to repartition the disk if you have only a single drive to work from it won't like to repartiton what it runs from [06:27] Hmm. i was thinking dban was one. [06:27] sacarlson: that sounds pretty ninja man [06:27] where did that screenshot save to? [06:27] s5fs: it's the only way to go 10 times faster install [06:27] sacarlson: ah, that was my next question. so you probabaly want to make a "utility" partition and stash the ISO there, right? [06:27] DaPenguin, I'm nowhere near advanced enough to even begin using the terminal [06:27] Hmm..... ok I just skimmed over this thread and.... I think I can wait til tomorrow. These instructions seem overwhelming [06:28] SightUp, probably somewhere in your home dir [06:28] SightUp: pwd [06:28] its uploading [06:28] mymeatinyourseat: terminal is easier [06:28] sacarlson: oh man, no doubt. i just upgraded my hdd recently, so i just happen to have an extra drive laying around. i may give that a try just for giggles. [06:28] oh, one last thing [06:28] s5fs: I keep a large /boot/ partitin these days that i store several iso files in. that i let grub2 boot as rescue options [06:28] ! dd | mymeatinyourseat [06:28] http://imagebin.org/145127 [06:28] mymeatinyourseat, it's really not a s bad as everyone seems to think lol === cesar_ is now known as Guest98130 [06:28] is that netbook? [06:28] s5fs: I keep a spare partition for that purpuse [06:28] !info dd | mymeatinyourseat [06:28] mymeatinyourseat: Package dd does not exist in maverick [06:29] fail. [06:29] dd's part of coreutils, I think [06:29] Is Natty coming out anytime soon? I'm just wondering if I should wait til it's out first before installing. [06:29] mymeatinyourseat, of course i grew up on DOS before i ever touched windows, so I may be a bit biased lol [06:29] !schedule-#ubuntu+1 | Schala [06:29] Schala: A schedule of Natty Narwhal (11.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [06:29] You are typing in irc.. you can use the terminal... [06:29] SightUp: yes [06:29] ah thanks [06:29] so i failed? :/ [06:29] ubottu, ..so wait for 11 to come out..?? [06:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:29] SighUp: Home dir i think in screensht [06:29] haha [06:29] i just posted the screenshot [06:30] arg, i wasted my life. [06:30] downloading 64bit now. [06:30] mymeatinyourseat, and with tab completion you don't even have to be able to spell anymore lol [06:31] Schala: you can download and install verson 11 today and install it and just upgrade when they release it [06:31] hmm.... ok... looks good....... I just hope GCC 4.6 comes with it. ObjC 2, Go, and C++0x support has me drooling [06:31] so the desktop version works with laptops eh? [06:32] DaPenguin, cool. my cuz was using those phone modem thingies back in the day too. he said there was no internet and u could only connect to one person at a time and u had to .."type your commands in"..?? [06:32] SightUp, i hope so, since it's what i'm running right now lol [06:32] THANK GOD FOR BILL GATES [06:32] i wasted 6 hours of my life. :( [06:32] mymeatinyourseat, you mean thank god for xerox ;) [06:32] something offtopic but i cant resist not to say....unity desktop is rubbish...end of story [06:32] SightUp: They have the same hardware requirements. The only difference is the user interface. [06:32] and 64bit support [06:32] leonxii: :) I just upgraded to 11.04 its rather.. minmal [06:33] DaPenguin, who owns xerox [06:33] Yeah I rather facepalmed seeing the new IE9.........allergic to menu bars and stuff [06:33] SightUp: you can get ubuntu-netbook packages on 64-bit Ubuntu. Just not an ISO. [06:33] mymeatinyourseat, uh, xerox... [06:33] hi [06:33] i am already burning the 64bit version [06:33] it installs much faster than windows [06:33] its fine. [06:33] mymeatinyourseat, the original windows gui was ripped off from them :) [06:34] one thing I won't miss is the paranoia that comes with activation [06:34] can Xubuntu Running on Pentium III 128 ? [06:34] Has anyone managed to get a Global Menu system working with gnome-shell? [06:34] having to call M$ every time I reinstall Windows [06:34] Dr_Willis: Haven't tried 11.04 but...from what i've seen...gnome all the way...seriously..:P [06:34] hi all, when i press F5 key on keyboard a screen refresh occurs normally in nautilus, is there some command which that key is bound to. If yes. kindly tell.... [06:34] abahkaiyisah, yeah, should work ok on that [06:34] what is Xubuntu? [06:34] thanks DaPenguin [06:35] DaPenguin, yeah, and my cusion says billy g even uses some linux stuff to make windows programs [06:35] SightUp, ubuntu that uses xfce instead of gnome as it's default de [06:35] does anyone know anyone solution to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/595773 ? [06:35] Xfice (or something) as the desktop instead of Gnome [06:35] Ubuntu bug 595773 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Screen flicker and sometimes crash" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:35] SightUp, Xubuntu is XFCE D.E. [06:35] hi all, when i press F5 key on keyboard a screen refresh occurs normally in nautilus, is there some command which that key is bound to. If yes. kindly tell.... [06:35] does it make a difference? [06:35] So with Natty, I take it there'll be a new Gubuntu edition or something? [06:35] SightUp, XFCE != Gnome or KDE for that matter - they are different desktop environments [06:35] leonxii: the old unity is basically been revamped.. but we will see what happens after 11.04 comes out [06:36] since Gnome won't be used as the default anymore? [06:36] SightUp, depends on what you prefer, xfce is more lightweight than gnome. you can actually try it out by installing xubuntu-desktop in vanilla ubuntu [06:36] desktop environments? can't that be changed on either one? [06:36] so [06:36] anyone know of that ^ ? :-) [06:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/595773 [06:36] Ubuntu bug 595773 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Screen flicker and sometimes crash" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:36] ^ yeah that [06:37] Dr_Willis: Hopefully something good..:) [06:37] personally i bounce back and forth between kde and flux depending on how I'm feeling at the time lol [06:37] KDE looks okay but my experience with Qt is....ew [06:37] meh, i just really don't care for gnome is all [06:37] any Xorg gurus around? [06:37] I'm installing a new hard drive on my server, was following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive but on the sudo lshw -C disk step I get no results, not even for my existing disks. How can I see what logical name my disk has? [06:38] pnorman, you can pull up gparted [06:39] DaPenguin: that depends on x11, which I don't have [06:39] what theme is the sexiest looking? [06:39] pnorman, "sudo blkid"? [06:39] well... I guess I'll probably kill some time on WoW until I feel tired....... best way to speed up time til morning [06:39] SightUp, depends on what you like [06:39] gloss, blue stuff. [06:39] that's all [06:39] Schala, ugh, i finally quit playing that...again...lol [06:40] SightUp, gnomelook.org [06:40] I go on and off myself [06:40] if im running a duel boot system winxp/bunt 10-64 can i easily epunge and swap for the 32-bit version or would thi be complicated .I knoe it will take some part and format or what ever but when i go to install the other will it be a problem?

During the installation process, just reformat the ubuntu partition [06:41] DaPenguin, I have more Qs please [06:41] mymeatinyourseat, ok, shoot [06:41] d4lt3r, | backtrack [06:41] ok ... since someone said the W word ....

The screen was changed using plymouth manager, and I have tried to use the script to fix the screen resolution with nvidia cards already with no luck. Also sometimes it breaks grub-pc so I have to remove grup completely and reload it, wonder if that could be the cause of this issue. Any help [06:42] thanx [06:43] umbunt, What is the problem you are having? [06:43] isnt** [06:43] ZykoticK9: Not reporting it - does blkid show partitions only, or will it show an unpartitioned drive? [06:43] mymeatinyourseat, ok, what are you wanting to do?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:08] n2i: websites cannot use fonts the same way local applications can. Hopefully, this will be possible in the next few years. [07:08] ayecee: I set Ubuntu font on both of desktop apps such as pidgin and on browser such as ff [07:08] jo-erlend, problim is why use local fonts [07:08] jo-erlend: so, is there any way to fix it now? [07:09] n2i: no, the web doesn't support it yet. [07:09] and probly never will [07:09] its slow [07:09] Dark_Link what linux did you use with the 945..? [07:09] Dark_Link: it will. Firefox 4 supports it now, I think.

[07:10] n2i: right, but only for a predefined set of fonts. You cannot introduce new fonts. They have to already be available on the client machine. [07:10] but no in pidgin or other any desktop apps [07:10] Dark_Link there is a possibility that 10.04 should work...not sure though [07:10] all of the ubuntu flavers [07:10] http://www.imagesk.com/fUoSKW3b.png [07:10] n2i: completely different things, as I said.

[07:13] font is so blur [07:13] pipe redirect /dev/null to /dev/dsp [07:13] I cannot fix it [07:13] *too [07:13] oh [07:13] I have set subpixel + hintslight + rgb [07:13] on what browser/ [07:14] ? [07:14] but like you have seens on some above pics [07:14] n2i: I don't know if that font supports vietnamese. I also don't know that it doesn't. I'm sure others do. Specially in the vietnamese channel, have you asked there? [07:14] font is very blut [07:14] what?? how r they supposed to make any good ubuntu's if the keep coming out with them so frequently?? [07:14] repost images i wasnt looking [07:14] jo-erlend, Dark_Link on the web, everything is very well [07:14] mymeatinyourseat, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:15] they need to wait 4 years like windows and battlefield 3 [07:15] it has whowed here http://www.imagesk.com/VTghqIU6.png [07:15] very cool! [07:15] hmm n2i it could be your res or webrowser [07:16] not come out with a new version every six months like megaman and sonic [07:16] oh thats a international problim [07:16] mymeatinyourseat, might want to take this discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [07:17] mymeatinyourseat, please chat where I've asked ---> #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [07:17] mymeatinyourseat, this channel's more for tech issues than software philosophy :) [07:17] n2i: have you confirmed that the ubuntu font supports vietnamese? [07:17] Dark_Link: :-/ And what the differences between font displays on the brower and on the desktop apps? [07:17] how to make font on desktop apps displays as on the browser?

[07:25] tensorpudding: yes [07:26] Ubuntu Font Family [07:26] ftjla: you may need to access it as the root user. since the normal user on a live cd. may be differnt uid, and thus not have the proper permissions to access the files.

I dont recall ever seeing a vcd with any sort of protection. [07:41] ftjla, hmm, ok [07:41] Why is GSmartControl saying that all the SMART attributes of my three hard drives are either pre-failure or old age? the Western Digital Caviar Black I have is only a month old [07:41] !info debianutils [07:41] debianutils (source: debianutils): Miscellaneous utilities specific to Debian.

[07:42] it might mean your network connection sucks [07:42] hi [07:42] !grubfix [07:43] i'm thinking of adding a global hotkey to allow the user to rate the currently playing song. What project on launchpad should i branch to get started on that? [07:43] dr_willis So what should I do to fix it? [07:43] DaPenguin, is there a way I can actually sing in as the user even though that user is not in the live cd? [07:43] signin [07:43] I have a USB drive formatted with NTFS. Ubuntu reports it's corrupt and cannot access it. But I don't have Windows to run checkdsk on it. Any options? === Michael is now known as Guest67461 [07:43] ftjla, you'd have to make a user account with identical uid and gid for it to work [07:43] truepurple: verify your network is working. see if you can ping the server its trying to get the files from., if those are ok. it may be the specific server is for some reason lacking that file. [07:44] ftjla, and sudo -i should bypass that anyway [07:44] oh [07:44] chitchat_: theres some ntfsfix command - but its not reccomended to use. [07:44] Thanks all for support! See you later! BB! [07:44] chitchat_: it should be able to mount it read only even if its considered ' corrupt' Unless its really really messed up. [07:45] I whave a DS which i use its Vnc in its panel via browser I want to know if I could use a clinet to install on my own pc which do the job instead of browser? [07:45] Dr_Willis What do you mean by "network"? You mean a lan setup? This is just a direct connection. How do I ping the server/how do I know what server to ping? Do I choose go back, or continue? [07:45] ftjla, you may want to consider reinstalling. /home is on it's own partition, so you shouldn't run the risk of losing a lot of data [07:45] THanks Dr_Willis I'm reading up on it now. [07:46] DaPenguin, arg well I suppose thats why my freind told me to set it up that way but Im just nervous about loosing that data [07:47] truepurple: go to a differnt console or terminal and see if you can ping any machines on the internet. [07:47] DaPenguin, so if I reinstall wont I still have the same permission problems though [07:47] ftjla, ftjla if you're worried about losing the data, you can back it up to external media beforehand [07:47] ftjla, you can chown the existing files to your new user account [07:47] hi guys im trying to link again pthread because one of the other libraries uses it, and im doing a static build using cmake but no matter what order i put it in the other libraries calls dont see it what could i be doing wrong?

[07:48] DaPenguin, I have a usb key so I will try that now [07:48] I have a .sh file in my /home/user/apps dir , each time I wanna run it I have to cd to that diir and then ./appname.sh in terminal , how can I create a shortcut for that on the desktop [07:48] ?

[07:49] truepurple: so you can ping anything on the internet? googles dns servers for example? ip 8.8.8.8 ? can you ping google.com ? [07:49] ftjla, you can either the chown graphically or from the command line via the chown -R (recursive) option [07:50] You mean using that modem? or that same computer? [07:51] Dr_Willis You mean using that modem? or that same computer?

[07:52] DaPenguin, do I need to chown inorder to back them up cuz I tried to 'cp -R' them and I got a message saying 'omitting directory 'myuser' ' [07:53] ftjla, you'll need to do the cp with sudo [07:53] Dr_Willis: When I try to download with the new computer, I unplug the modem from my old PC, and put it into the new PC, they use exactly the same internet! [07:53] with the '-i' option? [07:54] ftjla, no just sudo cp -R [07:54] thx [07:54] Dr_willis: Anyway, I can't ping from a netinstal [07:54] i am trying to upgrade to 10.10 and getting the error - Could not calculate the upgrade [07:54] ftjla, the -i option just puts you in a persistant sudo state [07:54] any guess what is causing this ? [07:54] hey guys i havent been here in a long while, but i thought someone here might be able to help me with a ubuntu wifi question [07:55] i am attempting to use a ubuntu desktop as my router [07:55] truepurple: so even tho its plugged in - it does not seem to have a working networking connection. does the ifconfig command show it has an ip? you may need to rerun the dhclient command to get it to ask for a valid ip to use. [07:56] i'd like to essentially replace my wireless router (running DDWRT) with a computer... What I am curious about is how would one go about changing the Radio's transmission power from the CLI in ubuntu [07:56] All flash videos are choppy when put into full screen [07:56] Dr_Willis: Willis, whatcha talking about?

[08:17] motaka2: then chown it in a terminal [08:17] user nyc_student [08:17] ftjla, the desktop live cd would probably be easier [08:17] e 10.10 studio [08:17] jhf: forget it [08:17] ba [08:17] no... the server has no gui [08:17] how to putge samba and friends without hurtung ubuntu-desktop? [08:17] motaka2: hang 1 minute [08:17] purge* [08:17] i only use the server version on everything tho [08:17] juk: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package [08:17] I have both studio and server but I cant find my desktop version that I actually have installed [08:17] juk: why are you purgeing samba? [08:18] k [08:18] for grub the live cd should be fine [08:18] i assume the server version of 10.10 has grub2 as well [08:18] jammiesAREon: grub2 is the default on server and desktop. yes [08:18] jammiesAREon, yeah, i think server is essentially the same install minus X [08:18] i'm using 10.04 LTS right now tho [08:19] and dapenguin you can choose server packages at install [08:19] like dhcp [08:19] Dr_Willis: so i'll be safe, it's ugh, i don't like it :) [08:19] otherwise with desktop u need to instll them all by hand [08:19] Would someone please help me with this netinstall error? http://pastebin.com/H3qQumvG [08:19] jammiesAREon, gotcha [08:19] juk: just remove the samba package.. no more samba server running. there ya go.. [08:19] juk: You installed samba and no longer want it? [08:20] Dr_Willis: no it was [08:20] truepurple: i'm not sure that the package is built for your os [08:20] while I am waiting for disc to finish (2mins) Have any of you heard of Linuxfest Northwest? [08:20] hey guys [08:20] anyone here? [08:20] or possibly wherever the package is being downloaded from isnt working [08:20] i need some help with flash [08:20] Dr_Willis: yeah, it's gone now [08:20] jammiesAREon: There IS no OS other then unetbootin, what do you mean? [08:20] oh geez a flash issue [08:21] get in line [08:21] tell us your problem gb [08:21] compiz --replace -c emerald &, i have used that command,.. and my window border disappear, how can i enable it??? [08:21] i am trying to enable mic in browser via flash [08:21] gtafa: try just 'compiz --replace' or 'emerald --replace' [08:21] motaka2: is the full path /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema/DbSchema$ ./dbschema.sh [08:22] gb__ and then whats happening..? [08:22] truepurple: huh? unetbootin isnt an OS [08:22] i dont see the option to enable it , went to flash support page , clicked on "always ask" , it confirm then nothing, does not even key up [08:22] jhf: yes it is [08:22] thaks, Dr_Willis [08:22] but it does not popup option to ask :( [08:22] DaPenguin, jammie, all, server ed. burned shall I boot to it now [08:22] jammiesAREon: Yes it is, it is a basic one sufficient to run the program [08:22] motaka2: is the full path /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema/apps/DbSchema$ ./dbschema.sh [08:23] jammiesAREon: If you don't want to call it a OS, fine, there is no OS [08:23] ftjla, yeah, go ahead [08:23] i am pretty sure it is not an OS [08:23] motaka2: are you sure it's /apps/DbSchema/apps/DbSchem [08:23] jhf: yes the full path to the .sh file is /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema/apps/DbSchema/dbschema.sh [08:23] it allows u to make bootable OSes of other ones [08:23] like ubuntu [08:23] fedora [08:23] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [08:23] jhf: no no , I am sorry wait ... [08:24] debian etc [08:24] motaka2: do you what others to run it? [08:24] jammiesAREon: If you don't want to call it a OS, fine, THERE IS NO OS. [08:24] lol i wont run any .sh for anyone :-P [08:24] anyone? [08:24] well truepurple then there in lies the problem [08:24] :-P [08:24] u have no OS [08:24] gb__ what browser are you using..? [08:24] jhf: the full path is /home/donkarlo/apps/Dbschema/dbschema.sh [08:25] motaka2: do you what others to run it? [08:25] i tired ff and seamonkey [08:25] jammiesAREon: So you don't even know what unetbootin does? I guess your not the person to get help from [08:25] DaPenguin, booted server ed. to menu....Instal...etc. down to Rescue a broken system. Is that last one the one I should use? [08:25] motaka2: or just you [08:26] jhf: just the two lines I pasted you [08:26] ftjla, can you get out to a regular terminal? [08:26] yes I do... it allows u to run an OS from a CD or most cases a usb stick [08:26] motaka2: for other users or you [08:26] it's a netboot installer that is all it is [08:26] gb__ try chrome if you can...cause flash is built in it [08:26] leonxii: NOT TRUE!!! [08:26] ok will try thanks [08:27] u need to install one of the systems that is mentioned in the link i sent u [08:27] jammiesAREon: You just contradicted yourself, first you said it wasn't a OS, now your calling it a OS [08:27] in this case it looks like debian since the tool is for debian [08:27] jhf: first I cd /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema then I ./dbschema [08:27] no i didnt call it an OS [08:27] or actually, try the rescue option, see what it brings up [08:27] it allows you to run an OS [08:27] jhf: donkarlo is the only user on this machine [08:27] juk it just is..:P [08:27] motaka2: yes -- do you whant other people to do that [08:28] leonxii: ugh... [08:28] motaka2: i see [08:28] motaka2: simple [08:28] all unetbootin is is a net boot installer [08:28] DaPenguin, It doesnt seem to let me go to a terminal so I wnet with rescue option [08:28] IT INSTALLS OSes [08:28] it is not the OS itself [08:28] motaka2: sudo /mkdir /usr/bin/DbSchema [08:28] jammiesAREon: Whatever, the point is that it, and especially netinstall, the whole point of it, is a way to install a OS like ubuntu. So it doesn't make sense to say the reason it isn't working is because there is no OS on the computer [08:28] an OS is ubuntu, fedora, debian, gentoo [08:29] odd.. my phone connects to irc.freenode.net, #ubuntu, i can send a message, but nothing happens [08:29] i can see my message too [08:29] um u havent installed one yet truepurple [08:29] u have to retrieve it first [08:29] motaka2: sudo cp /home/donkarlo/apps/Dbschema/* [08:29] i can even whois my phone's irc [08:29] ftjla, it should take you through the steps to restore your system then [08:29] hey guys how can I re-synchronize my ubuntu server's clock, it seems to have gone way off [08:29] is there a way to net sync it or something like on mac and windows [08:30] jammiesAREon: Again, that is the point of unetbootin netinstall in the first place! [08:30] blaenk: theres ntp services/tools to sync the time to network time servers [08:30] jhf: it says no destfile , i think you wanna cope it in usr/bin/DbShema , right ? [08:30] motaka2: sorrry cp /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema/* /mkdir /usr/bin/DbSchema [08:30] truepurple: did you follow these steps: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-linux-with-ease-using-unetbootin/ [08:30] I just found the wiki page Dr_Willis thanks [08:31] motaka2: then cp /home/donkarlo/apps/DbSchema/*.* /mkdir /usr/bin/DbSchema [08:31] motaka2: are there dir ithere [08:31] truepurple no the point of unetbootin is to allow you to install an OS without using the CD [08:31] gb__ tell if chrome work...then just probably is yet another flash bug... [08:31] but it doesnt do all the work for you [08:31] u still need to give it input [08:31] otherwise it wont do crap [08:31] motaka2: ya just put it all in there [08:31] calling unetbootin an os is like calling grub an os [08:32] wait ... [08:32] DaPenguin: or the cp command... [08:32] but truthfully this all off-topic [08:32] Grub2 is practially an OS. :) [08:32] lol, rsync OS :) [08:32] lol [08:32] DaPenguin, I have come to a screen that asks me to selec a device to use as a root file system and then it tells me I may not need to use one and it provides a DONT USE ONE option, any input? [08:33] jammiesAREon: unetbootin does not fail to install a OS because there isn't a OS already installed. If there was a OS already installed, there would be no reason to use unetbootin! [08:34] ummm not you need the freaking ISO of the freaking OS on the drive the freaking NetbootIn is on [08:34] ftjla, just select whichever partition your / is on [08:34] (CD, FLASH, w/e) [08:34] ftjla, just don't reformat it lol [08:34] jammiesAREon: I already told you, its netinstall. [08:34] i'm done trying to help you... if you just want to argue about it [08:34] offtopic replace freaking with fracking offtopic bsgbot [08:34] NETINSTALL IS NOT THE OS [08:34] IT INSTALLS AN OS [08:34] jhf: ok they are all in /usr/bin/DbSchema [08:35] For the love of all things linux [08:35] sheesh [08:35] is there a music player that can play music in a samba share without indexing it first? it would only need to delve into random directories until it finds a playable file and then plays it. [08:35] go find a netinstall channel then if you are so convinced it is an OS [08:35] they'll help you [08:35] motaka2: now just run dbschema.sh -- or rename it to what you whant [08:35] want [08:35] jammiesAREon It installs the OS from the internet, so no complete ISO file is needed [08:36] motaka2: /usr/bin is in $PATH so anything there runs [08:36] only if the NIC is supported [08:36] otherwise you'll need to throw on the ISO manually [08:36] cuz it wont be able to access the internet to fetch the files [08:37] motaka2: make an icone for it if that's your thing [08:37] but whatever... go ask someone else [08:37] ftjla: how's ur grub repair going? [08:37] DaPenguin, darn I dont remember which one is my root partition I have sda1,2,3,5,6,7...... however I can move around through the menu I have a shell now...what command gives me more detail regarding partitions? [08:38] im really confused.. my phone can connect to freenode/#ubuntu, and it gets all of the messages from server, but it wont recieve or send any irc messages [08:38] jammies getting close [08:38] jhf: it doesnt copy the dirs look at this : http://pastebin.com/EP96HPQZ [08:38] through my bluetooth connection [08:38] ftjla do u have an idea of how big ur root partition is? [08:38] Hi all. Is anyone familiar with the process by which Ubuntu resumes from hibernation? I have a problem where the UUID on my swap was changed and now it won't wake up from hibernation (it just does a normal boot). I don't know what needs to be changed to the new UUID in order to make it work again. [08:38] yes I beleive it was 52gb [08:38] ok [08:39] try typing in fdisk -l at the terminal [08:39] might need to sudo that [08:39] not sure [08:39] yeh sudo [08:39] it should list the sizes of the drives / partitions [08:39] motaka2: -R [08:39] it should be in the format of something like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb [08:40] or something similar [08:40] depending on the interface used for the drive [08:40] jammiesAREon, also, it will show which ones are bootable fyi [08:40] lol well that narrows it down to sda5 at 52+ and sda6 and 51+ [08:40] yea that too [08:40] thanks DaPenguin [08:40] Im gonna go with sda5 as root [08:40] so that should help narrow it down lol [08:40] :) [08:40] well ftjla mount them first and look [08:40] motaka2: can you make an icon? [08:41] motaka2: for a file [08:41] i assume they are in EXT3 or EXT4 [08:41] what up guus [08:41] YES thats it! [08:41] which means u should be able to mount them no problem to a directory [08:41] jhf: I wanna forget about it , linux sucks [08:41] hello i'm trying to install mysqldb and i keep getting the error 'python.h: no such file or directory compilation terminated' [08:41] can anyone help [08:42] osiemo, you may need to install python or python-dev [08:42] motaka2: well you just are not smart enough [08:42] osiemo what method are u using to install it?

[08:43] oh wait [08:43] lol [08:43] there ya go [08:43] jammiesAREon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:43] jhf: the funny thing is the dir created in usr bin cant be deleted too! [08:43] grrrr... bad habit sorry [08:43] osiemo, you may have to specify the path to either ./configure or make [08:44] everything cn be deleted with a simple sudo rm -rf /* [08:44] just kidding dont EVER do that [08:44] i have specified the path in site.cfg [08:44] aww, no fun lol [08:44] jammiesAREon: Jokes like that tend to get people removed from #ubuntu. I don't recommend saying it again. [08:44] jammiesAREon: better not to even mention such commands here ;) [08:44] hmmm ... i seem to have installed ubuntu correctly since i'm in the irc channel [08:44] srry [08:45] motaka2: sudo rm /usr/bin/DbSchema* [08:45] ur right my bad... i just assumed they'd no... then i wrote it an realized someone might actually try it [08:45] know* [08:45] what happens if you rm -rf / ?

[08:46] motaka2: done [08:47] I can get it here in a few [08:47] osiemo, check out the documentation for the source, usually either INSTALL or README [08:47] jhf: yes it is now cleaned , but why creating a shortcut is so hard?

[09:24] it's 4:30am here [09:25] lol it should [09:25] jammiesAREon: no [09:25] ubuntu is non-profit and community based [09:26] it'd be like volunteering at an art center [09:26] or some other non-profit [09:26] i have installed wine, and when i clicked .exe file, it's error, like this "The file '/media/gtafa/My Games/Stronghold/Stronghold Crusader.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.". [09:26] as long as the judge singed off on it you should be able too [09:26] or like a group home type thing where they take children in [09:26] jammiesAREon: good luck finding a channel operator who'd sign off on the paperwork for it and a judge that'd take it. [09:26] hello every1 [09:27] lol this is hyptothetical [09:27] never had that issue before [09:27] rww: I'd personally write the judge asking not to, considering the use of enter as punctuation by this individual. [09:27] jammiesAREon: and I'm telling you why your hypothetical situation wouldn't work. [09:27] last legal thing i couldnt use a computer [09:27] so i would have been useless [09:27] is there any1 who has been using open source drivers for ati mobility radeon hd6xxx series??? [09:27] yea xgt001 a long time ago [09:28] like back in like 8.04 days [09:28] which is better??? fgrlx or open source??? [09:29] well... i think it depends [09:29] jammiesAREon, Im gonna let this thing run and I'll check on it in the morning, but I gotta get my 5 hours of beauty sleep [09:29] probably open source i guess [09:29] thanls for all the help [09:29] thanks [09:29] I have strange problem [09:29] k ftjla... this might fix the issue [09:29] that'd be cool :-) [09:29] gnome: wats up [09:29] who knows what is the address of Beirut time server ? [09:29] i want to keep time and date synchronized with internet server [09:30] hopefully, cya later [09:30] I can't find file access.log with search files but I found it manually [09:30] last one for the night [09:30] why? [09:30] where was it? [09:30] in /var/log/apache2 [09:30] how did u search for it? [09:30] applications>accesories>search for files [09:30] i have a new hp laptop it has got ati hd6370m card with 512 mb... i tried the proprietary drivers in ubuntu maverick but it honestly sucks.... how should i install opensource drivers??? [09:30] as root? [09:30] why it coudln't find it? [09:30] no [09:31] how to search as root? [09:31] probably cuz u need to be root for the file [09:31] well... a couple ways [09:31] easiest pl :) [09:31] u could logon as root [09:31] pls* [09:31] no [09:31] thts hard ;) [09:31] gnome: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:31] which might be the easiest for u [09:31] you don't need to be root to list files in /var/log (normally) [09:31] or u do it from CLI [09:31] kimmen not to list [09:31] Kimmen, but I couldn't find the file why [09:31] but sometimes to search [09:31] depending on the file [09:31] jammiesAREon, tell me from cli pls [09:32] !enter | jammiesAREon [09:32] jammiesAREon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:32] jammiesAREon, how t osearch as root from CLI? [09:32] sudo locate or possibly sudo whereis [09:32] jammiesAREon: generally suggesting to log in as root is discouraged. please be careful about the advice you give [09:32] gnome: do you want to see whats in the file? int that case try: tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log [09:32] jammiesAREon, thanks [09:33] too "monitor" it [09:33] Kimmen, no i can see with my user [09:33] hi people [09:33] :P [09:33] he's using the GUI... i dont think he likes CLI [09:33] hence why i suggested what jussi told me not to suggest [09:33] lol [09:34] i was trying to make it really easy [09:34] hi [09:34] hi [09:34] thankz :D [09:34] after the latest flash player upgrade, some randim cubic flash images always remain on my desktop [09:35] any ideas how i can fix this (always same position, over firefox, thunderbird....everything) [09:35] i formatted my usb stick. In the GParted only one disk is visible (as expected). However, in the Dolphin there are two disks labelled Disk and Disk-1. Is this normal ? [09:35] oh goody more flash problems... lol [09:35] kamran.. what does dolphin identify them as? [09:35] like unallocated? [09:36] dolphin identifies them as removable media [09:36] i've never used dolphin before i dont think... so might be hard to say... i'd lean towards trusting whatever gparted says [09:36] one more question, where was option to not block mouse when typing I can't find it [09:36] gnome... dunno... i dont use a mouse [09:36] lol [09:36] kamran: you have one "disk" that is the physical disk and one disk that is the partition [09:36] hrm, some program just issued mouse grab without releasing it. How to determine which program to report a bug against? [09:37] ah... good call kimmen [09:37] ^^ [09:37] never used dolphin so didnt know how it listed it [09:37] Kimmen can u explain more [09:37] tho if it's unallocated there shouldnt be a partition [09:38] he/she would have to create one [09:38] kamran: in linux your disk is listed as sda for example [09:38] kamran: a partition in the disk listst as sda1 etc [09:38] then sda(x) where x represents partition [09:38] * nonix4 suspects the *indicator* things in maverick, but has no data to back that. [09:39] GParted says my hard disk is sda and my flah drive is sdb [09:39] but as i said before unless u formatted the drive (lets say NTFS or FAT32 or EXT4 etc) u shoudnt have a partition [09:39] I enabled IBUS what is this [09:39] how to disable it ? [09:40] just got a bit freaked, can someone explain? I've been playing with live distros on my usb. I've repartitioned and reformatted, tried to start Ubuntu Live Gnome and it loaded up to the point of showing graphics and froze. The freaky part is that it was showing a Debian XFCE screenshot from two days ago, before I reformatted the USB! [09:40] i have formatted it and am about to create a startup disk [09:40] gnome... prob oppossite of how u enabled it :-P [09:40] jammiesAREon, i clicked ibus from preferences now it won't stop when i click again [09:40] kamran: what format is it in? [09:40] FAT 32 [09:40] gnome: in terminal type: ls /dev/sdb* [09:40] ok thanks kimmen [09:40] ok thats why it's listing two in dolphin [09:41] what is this thing [09:41] gnome: it lists your partitions on your removable disk [09:41] when u have a drive that isnt formatted u have just /dev/sdb (gparted sees it as unallocated) [09:41] gnome: /dev/sdb is your removable device, /dev/sdb1 is your first partition (fat32?) and so on [09:42] but the second u make it into a format (fat 32 in ur case) it creates a partition table for that format [09:42] i read on an instructions page that the boot partition should be the first one. I never intended to create any partition. When i saw two usb drives on Dolphin i halted right there and came here [09:42] ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi [09:42] gnome: sorry, typed to wrong person =P [09:42] no no [09:42] :D [09:42] im off [09:42] facing a problem [09:42] well by formatting the drive u did create a partition [09:43] all drives have partitions [09:43] just urs has one [09:43] please listen to me [09:43] have idea ? [09:43] ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi [09:43] ok i have a single partition usb disk. Rite ? [09:43] yep [09:44] Would someone please help me with this netinstall error I got while trying to install ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/H3qQumvG [09:44] ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi [09:44] the disk is seeing as /dev/sdb and then the FAT32 partition (Which spans the entirety of the useable space of that disk) is seeing as /dev/sdb1 [09:44] ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: symbol lookup error: ./lxa-ubuntu-4-1-3: undefined symbol: _ZN8QMapData10createDataEi [09:45] Now, when dolphin shows two disks. One disk holds the FAT Table and the other is meant for holdin data. Rite ? [09:45] basically [09:45] not in those words [09:45] but u get the general idea [09:45] !repeat | laxmi [09:45] laxmi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:45] jammiesAREon, i can't find files with command you told me [09:45] see [09:46] thunderbird - i've just upgradedto 10.10 and when i try to start thunderbird I get an 'thunderbird is already running' error. tried restarting and reinstalling thunderbird but stil no luck.any ideas?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [09:48] hi all, do you know where is the implementation of the commands , for example, 'cat' command , where does it stored [09:48] this is confusing [09:48] gnome can u try 'su root' [09:48] what is that [09:49] then type in root password then try the above command [09:49] it basically changes ur user to root [09:49] then how to switch back [09:49] su [09:49] or just close the terminal [09:49] desturrr: cat is part of the coreutils package, and is stored in /bin/cat. [09:50] su: Authentication failure [09:50] dejan@dejan-laptop [09:50] omg [09:50] okey thanks [09:50] I am writing my password [09:50] u may need a root password [09:50] for my user [09:50] gnome: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:50] what is the root password i havent set it [09:50] type in sudo passwd root [09:50] jammiesAREon: Root passwords are not supported in this channel. Do not offer advice on setting one. [09:50] !noroot | gnome, jammiesAREon [09:50] gnome, jammiesAREon: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [09:50] oh my god [09:50] wtf [09:50] sorry man cant help [09:51] it is put as a binary file [09:51] jammiesAREon, again no luck [09:51] i can not see inside right [09:51] I am loged in as root [09:51] but can't find file access.log [09:51] and i found it manually [09:51] :S [09:51] i dunno why ppl insist that sudo is sufficient access [09:51] gnome: it can take awhile for ubuntu to index new files [09:52] omg [09:52] i can't search for files :S [09:52] this is very very bad [09:52] sudo depends on u being a member to the sudoers group and lots of files are for root [09:52] lol gnome calm down [09:52] its not the end of the world [09:52] gnome: yes you can it can take some time before search finds them [09:52] gnome: access.log for apache2 is stored in /var/log/apache2/access.log by default. The usual command to find that would be "sudo find / -name access.log" (iirc /var/log/apache2 is not readable by normal users). [09:53] precisely [09:53] hence the need for root [09:53] rww, i know but why I can't search for files :S [09:53] lol [09:53] sec [09:53] oh god... gnome read the freaking chat [09:53] jammiesAREon: "sudo -s" or "sudo -i" do virtually the same thing as "su". The only argument I can see against them is by default they require the same login credential as your user. [09:53] jammiesAREon: You apparently missed the part where sudo works fine for that, as I showed. [09:53] yep [09:53] rww, thanks [09:54] what theme should i use for ubuntu? [09:54] sightup: depends what u like [09:54] lol [09:54] hi , I am using AMD athlon 64. I have installed ubuntu 10.04. How do I find the chipset details and install the appropriate drivers as the laptop gets heated upto 90 c [09:54] something futuristic [09:55] appi_uppi are u sure u need them? [09:55] but at least the way I run multiuser systems, I turn off regular passwords for ssh and require the use of an ssh key to login, configure it so users cannot use "passwd", and then effectively a users password (if they have root access) becomes a "personal root password" [09:55] yea pumpkin me too [09:56] jammiesAREon, my system is getting heated upto 90 c, not able to work hence thought the drivers are must. Please correct me if I am wrong. [09:56] appi_uppi: i think dmidecode will help you find relevant info [09:56] tho i must admit root is able to logon via ssh on my system, which some would disagree with that practice [09:56] hi, i have done this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto and my dns does not have the answer section... [09:56] anyone can help me? [09:56] jammiesAREon: you can set in openssh that root is not permitted to login [09:56] anyone use AirLines: sudo apt-get install airlines-theme? [09:57] kimmen i know i can [09:57] i choose not to [09:58] i use ntlm authentication for all my users (winbind) [09:58] the issue is if somehow the service breaks i have no fail safe to login [09:58] i could set up a local admin i suppose but i prefer root [09:59] what themes are you guys using? [09:59] mine is called CLI [09:59] i love it [09:59] pic? [09:59] me too =) [09:59] u should give that a go sightup [09:59] have themed it slightly with tmux [09:59] who knows what is the address of Beirut time server ?

But suggest me, do I need to install the drivers for acer 5536 AMD processor (ubuntu) [10:00] lol [10:01] but i need to set up mail command first.. and then get postfix up and running [10:01] lol [10:01] appi_uppi, if it's running at 90 i think you should take a look at your heat sink first [10:01] appi_uppi: and that your fans are spinning [10:01] unless the fans only turn on when the board tells it to [10:01] like the macbook pros [10:02] which in ubuntu are always set to full speed [10:02] and besides it's an AMD [10:02] hi there , i have a problem after viewing a youtube video , it seems that the video is still stuck on the desktop , and sometimes the color of the video is all around , is it commond problem in ubuntu 10.10 32-bit or just my problem ?

[10:09] and I have a Intel D945GCLF2, Intel Atom 330, 1x2TB WD20EARS, 2GB RAM =) [10:09] overkill for what it does [10:09] is there something to fix it? [10:09] I have to reboot pc to dismiss it [10:10] ikonia, yea i asked a while ago no one knew the answer [10:10] so i just started helping ppl [10:10] jammiesAREon: what's the problem, as the hardware discussion you are currently in maybe better in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:10] like the picture after youtube video will remain in background even after I close browser [10:11] ok... sorry i said one thing off topic.. i'll go there next time [10:11] ikonia, i am using ubuntu 10.10 it is not getting update always shows me error [10:11] jammiesAREon: it wasn't one thing, it was the whole hardware disscussion, looked like a good discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:11] gaurav_help: ok ? [10:11] what theme looks the most graphically stunning? [10:12] SightUp: look for yourself, gnome-look.org [10:12] but since u asked.... i am trying to replace my ddwrt router with ubuntu, and i am curious if there is a way to adjust the radio transmission power [10:12] in ubuntu [10:12] any software on ubuntu that can do a good PDF to ODT or DOC coversion? [10:12] jammiesAREon: if the wireless device driver in ubuntu supports it, yes you can do it with iwconfig [10:12] what would be the proper syntax to do that... [10:12] ikonia: which is like a total conversion? [10:13] jammiesAREon: I've done it with an intel card on an old laptop for pwoer saving [10:13] ikonia, it shows me require update from untrusted sites how can i update that [10:13] jammiesAREon: it depends onthe card, the driver and it's syntax [10:13] gaurav_help: what is the unstrusted site ? [10:13] i've gotten it to display the output power as it is, but havent figured out how to change it [10:13] SightUp: total conversation [10:13] jammiesAREon: not call cards support it [10:13] "all" [10:14] i dont see that here [10:14] jammiesAREon: ... ... I google'd "ubuntu iwconfig transmission power" and the second link looks promising === test is now known as trijntje [10:14] SightUp: what are you talking about [10:14] http://gnome-look.org [10:14] BTW that's a man page, so you could probably just man iwconfig too [10:14] i dont know what i am looking for [10:15] SightUp: look at themes, look for ones you like [10:15] its shows me some launguages .... what i do [10:15] GMD themes? [10:15] or which? [10:15] gaurav_help: what is the name of the site it wants to get untrusted packages from [10:15] SightUp: depends what you want, if you want a gdm theme, look for gdm themes [10:15] !themes | SightUp [10:15] SightUp: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [10:15] SightUp: check out those URLs [10:16] http://gnome-look.org, what is the name of the search filter for a total conversion type theme? [10:17] total conversation, what are you talking about ? [10:17] that changes everything [10:17] i dont wanna just mix match a ton of stuff [10:17] SightUp: read the url's I've just had ubottu give you, they give you an overview to themes [10:17] SightUp: there aren't "total" conversions [10:17] ah... ok [10:17] txpower [10:17] ok [10:18] sightup are u using gnome or kde [10:18] gnome i think [10:18] im on 10.10 [10:18] ok so probably gnome unless u installed kde [10:18] i just want the most graphically stunning stuff. [10:18] or whatever they call it [10:19] so u want to look for gnome themes [10:19] i dont think i installed that [10:19] u could also look at kde themes and if u like those more then u can install kde [10:19] kde-look.org [10:19] changing desktop for a theme is a bad idea [10:19] what is kde? [10:19] gnome-look.org [10:20] SightUp: it's another window manager and desktop interface, a massive change from gnome [10:20] just another GUI. like gnome, but kinda resembles windows in a way [10:20] ah ok [10:20] no windows... [10:20] borrows some features from it... i [10:20] i have this computer for windows [10:20] jammiesAREon: no it doesn't [10:20] jammiesAREon: it borrows no features from it at all [10:20] it's a totally different windowing system and desktop [10:21] it's just that windows users might find it familiar [10:21] I doubt it [10:21] ok ur opinion... in my opinion the gui behaves in a windows like way, and functions very similar to a start menu [10:21] the panels and stuff [10:21] yeah [10:21] in fact the way things are laid out are very familiar to windows [10:21] i like this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 [10:22] SightUp: if you like it, try it [10:22] well the thing on the side sigtup is not part of the theme just so u know [10:22] the thing that shows ur computer stats [10:23] Would someone please help me with thisnetinstall error I got while trying to install ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/H3qQumvG [10:23] which knome version am i on? [10:23] 2.x? [10:23] truepurple: it can't download the package it needs, the question is why, is there anything before that error to suggest why [10:24] SightUp: correct [10:24] sightup right click on the gnome panel and select "about gnome" [10:24] to be certain [10:24] but most likely 2.x [10:24] 2.32.0 [10:24] jammiesAREon: as ubuntu has not released gnome 3, it's version 2 [10:24] ikonia Not really, it seems to say it found the internet connection fine enoug, and before the error, it seems to download and install at least a few files up to about 6% [10:25] Is it possible to use unity interface in an oracle virtual box VM? === dpac is now known as dpac_away [10:25] eoin_: yes [10:25] ikonia: any tips for set up? [10:25] eoin_: treat it like a desktop [10:25] truepurple: how do u know it found ur internet connection? [10:25] truepurple: try a different location to get the files from [10:26] if u get the iso and put it on the flash drive u wont need to get it online [10:27] u can just use netboot installer tool thingy mahoo to install it without a CD [10:27] Ikonia: What do you mean? Especially, what do you mean by location? You mean use a different USB flash drive? [10:27] i think he means a different location on the web to download it from truepurple [10:27] truepurple: you'd have to edit the config files to point at a different download location [10:27] ikonia: I have tried 10.10 netbook in the vm, and also the alpha of 11.4, but neither will display unity - compiz works fine though... [10:27] Ikonia: Oh, use a different mirror? I suppose so, but the US one seems to be the most likely to work [10:27] truepurple: agreed, but if you are having a problem, it's worth testing [10:28] anybody here good with compression? [10:29] eoin_: it should work [10:29] dgb: just ask the question [10:29] lol [10:29] Is there anyway I could compress 3.2GB worth of music down to about 2GB ? [10:30] dgb: is it already compressed in the encodig ? [10:30] encoding ? [10:30] depends... how well do u want it to sound in the end dgb? [10:30] I tried 7zip and gzip [10:30] Ok, I will try it, but I need to go offline to do so, I will be back in a bit to tell you how it went [10:30] both only compressed it down 100mb [10:30] dgb: you won't do it with a compression tool, as the music is already compressed when it's encoded [10:30] dgb: you'd have to re-encode it at a lesser quality [10:30] well I somehow need to transfer that music to another computer [10:30] u could change the encoding, but u'll loose some quality [10:31] ikonia: Maybe it's because the VM host is a Windows 7 box? (VM graphics 3d acceleration on, with 128MB VRAM) [10:31] eoin_: doubtful [10:31] dgb... what os is the music on currently [10:31] ubuntu? === mag is now known as Guest91333 [10:31] Ubuntu [10:31] need to transfer some samples over to my mac [10:31] is the computer local? [10:31] its not connected to the LAN [10:31] ok so they are on the same network? [10:32] oh [10:32] yes [10:32] but the macbook [10:32] is hooked up to the wireless [10:32] oh thats fine [10:32] u could just FTP it [10:32] he's just said it's not on the lan [10:32] u'd have to set up ftp on ubuntu [10:32] he said it's wireless [10:32] then it's on the lan [10:33] i think he means its not plugged it [10:33] in* [10:33] i think it was just choice of wordsw [10:33] when he said it's wireless i figured that meant he was on the same network [10:34] but personally dgb i think the best shot would be to ftp it [10:34] it wont lose quality [10:34] i'll give it a go [10:34] thanks heaps m8 [10:34] :) [10:34] do u know how to install an FTP server (if u dont already have one) [10:34] i use proftp personally [10:35] yeh I do [10:35] k [10:35] cool [10:35] i use pureftpd usually :P [10:35] cool [10:35] it would be more sensible to do it over ssh as there is no need to set anything up [10:35] plus there is error checking [10:35] data of that size, it would be useful [10:35] man i stayed up all night... shouldnt take caffeine so late.. lol [10:35] yeh cant do anything that requires ports open [10:35] so ill upload to my dedi then download them [10:36] stupid work router, they wont give me root pw to it [10:36] well ftp will have ports open [10:36] jammiesAREon: how do you know [10:36] jammiesAREon: why will ftp "be" open, you don't know his security setup [10:36] they wont be open [10:36] no i'm saying he will need it to be open [10:36] sorry wrong words [10:36] sheesh shoot me [10:37] great..

[10:42] j [10:42] ikonia, i have installed wp and now works fine, but if i change the mysql password and try to reload it I get plain white screen, as what i know i should get mysql connection error message [10:43] i can see the message in error log of the vhost [10:43] but not in browser [10:43] kickar: you don't get that, I've had that same problem [10:43] kickar: the guys in #wordpress can explain it, I've recently gone through that same issue [10:43] kickar: I just got a white page, rather than the expected error [10:43] ikonia, it is on every CMS that i have installed, wp is just an example [10:44] even a simple php script for connecting don't display the error [10:44] kickar: I understand that, however that is how it works, I had this exact problem, 2 days ago [10:44] whats the fix [10:44] the guys in #wordpress went through the reason it wasn't displaying the error message [10:44] is it apache or a php conf. issue [10:45] kickar: no, it was expected behaviour, something to do with types of error, not being a php specialist I didn't fully understand [10:45] ok thanks [10:46] hi , When I watch videos on youtube they play fine. but, when I minimize the window, the video overlays on whatever was behind it.

[10:59] Dinux_: what about it ? [10:59] ikonia : can we do it to solve this flash problem? [10:59] how can I check if a harddisk is installed on the computer or damaged? [11:00] Dinux_: sorry, I obviously wasn't clear when I said "I don't know, flash is a closed source product so it's hard to change anything or resolve issues" [11:00] from a shell?

[11:02] Hi, I am running 10.04 desktop and my motherboard supports IOMMU. I want to know how do i find out if the linux kernel I have supports IOMMU, and how to turn it on? [11:02] hever: the error is important [11:02] iceroot, I know but it seems there's none... [11:02] Hey, this is my first time videomanipulating, I just have to cut 1 part of a movie out of a dvd, what program should I use? (for minimal quality loss). Thank you! [11:03] iceroot, I wanted to do a fsck but its not found... [11:03] mieke, how minimal? a chapter? [11:03] hever: you've not booted an OS, how do you expect to use an OS command ? [11:03] hever: why do you want to do an fsck [11:04] hever: /sbin/fsck maybe the PATH is not loaded automaticly [11:04] also, is there any benefit to using IOMMU when running virtualbox? [11:04] bazhang: I just have to have make a new dvd with a little part (5 minutes) cut out of it. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [11:05] ikonia: To be fair, it is possible (and reasonable) to include fsck in an initramfs. [11:05] bazhang: I have no experiance whatsoever with moviemanipulating and I don't know what programs to use, dvd:rip rips and stores in another file (quality loss), avidemux doesn't want to manipulate vorbis files as I understand it now, so what should I use? [11:06] mieke, ah okay I thought you wanted to remove only one part to view or some such, you mean remastering the dvd altogether [11:06] bezhang: indeed :) [11:06] mieke, there is bound to be quality loss with that [11:06] ikonia, because it could be a FS error, for example the PC was turned off accidently [11:06] iceroot, no that's not working either... [11:07] ogmrip I suppose, then devede to get them together again mieke [11:07] hever: then you'd get an fsck error/check not busy box [11:07] bazhang: that's unfortunate, so no possibility to just 'cut out' a part directly in the .vob-file? [11:07] mieke, you can set ogmrip to make it quite high quality [11:07] avidemux can do that mieke [11:08] mieke, not that I know of, but that is limited in terms of what I am familiar with [11:08] I will give both a shot! [11:08] just set it to not change the codec [11:09] hi [11:09] bazhang, mycosys: thanks! [11:09] hi pple :D [11:09] ikonia, so what could it be?

[11:17] thanks soreau [11:17] adek: DSL or puppy linux perhaps [11:18] but DSL seems to be old and i dont know if ntfs3g will work there [11:18] adek: Well that is beyond the scope of this channel [11:18] ikonia: i got Note, selecting 'flashplugin-installer' instead of 'flashplugin-nonfree' [11:18] flashplugin-installer is already the newest version.

[11:23] ah sorry should have said it;s a partition [11:23] is sparrow a e-mailprogram for mac os x, broon_sparrow ? [11:24] erkan: ?? [11:25] broon_sparrow: I'd run ''sudo blkid'' to find the uuid of that partition, and then in fstab, change /dev/sda6 to UUID= [11:25] broon_sparrow: Its called /data but isnt the mount point /media/data ? [11:27] in fstab it seems to be called data. in gparted mountpoint is random string of letters. in 'places' it's called 258GB filsystem and when ubuntu starts up it says it can't find data and i have to pres S to skip! Does that make any sense? [11:28] i've almost 300gb of data on it so don;t want to accidentally format it! [11:28] broon_sparrow: Does /data exist? AFAICT, its telling you that it does not (you said yourself it should be /media/data which sounds more like it anyway) [11:28] right i see! i need to change it to media/data...i'll try that [11:29] um how do i edit fstab?

[11:36] ikonia: yes [11:36] soreau: additional drivers just tells me it's activated, currently in use and is up to date. no 'choose other version' option [11:36] iceroot: because it has no writeable media on it, and the one of the chips apple used is propritary that has at this time no linux support [11:36] ikonia: ah ok, thats a good reason to never buy apple-products :) [11:36] Hi guys.

[11:43] did it from synaptic, no joy, removed from synaptic, reinstalled from webpage, no joy, tried Flash Aid as an add on,it didn't work eeither [11:43] oobiloz: usefull details please, what have you done, what is not working, which architecture, which ubuntu version [11:43] i think it was previously mounted at /data not /media/data - the path for a document is /data/... would that make sense? [11:44] iceroot: xubuntu 10.10 [11:44] oobiloz: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree after that you only should restart your browser and it should work [11:44] soreau: no i don't think so [11:44] broon_sparrow: The output of mount should tell you if its mounted [11:44] mount|grep sda6 [11:44] or however [11:44] i did that and it said something aobut "flashplugin-installer" being the newset version [11:45] oobiloz: dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree [11:45] and it's telling me about some packages that are automatically installed, no longer required [11:45] soreau: sorry but what do you mean the output of mount?

[11:47] yep [11:47] broon_sparrow: It sounds to me like you are telling it to mount to a location that doesnt exist [11:48] broon_sparrow: What does ls -l /media/data show? [11:48] back [11:48] iceroot: did u see it? [11:48] " ls: cannot access /media/data: No such file or directory " [11:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/586116/ [11:48] so how would I make /data exist [11:49] broon_sparrow: Right so create the directory first with sudo mkdir /media/data [11:49] broon_sparrow: Then set fstab to point to /media/data to mount sda6 [11:49] ikonia: You there? [11:50] broon_sparrow: If it cant find the mount point, it just creates a temporary mount point and calls it by UUID since this value is unique [11:50] Where can I see what WiFi drivers "Additional drivers" is capable of installing automatically? [11:50] Jemt: sys>admin> [11:50] Jemt: What wifi chip is it? [11:51] soreau: Any - I need to know what adapters are supported through installation of additional drivers [11:51] that's great thanks. fstab says "/dev/sda6 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 2" so it will mount at media/data now? [11:51] Jemt: So you want to know what cards have proprietary drivers available? (why?) [11:51] i'll do a re-start and give see what happens. Still got a problem with thunderbird - i'll try and sort that next. [11:51] broon_sparrow: If ls -l /media/data shows it does exists as a directory [11:52] truepurple: yes ? [11:52] output from la = "total=0" that make sense [11:52] Ok, I got it to work for whatever reason [11:52] soreau: I'm remastering Ubuntu, and working on better WiFi support. I have now included the Broadcom STA drivers (popular on Macs), but want to know if I can include other drivers too [11:52] (its' for a school) [11:53] it's [11:53] ikonia: but now it is asking what software I want to install, and I don't know which to use [11:53] Jemt: Other problematic chips include realtek I think [11:53] truepurple: that's up to you [11:53] soreau: I don't see any realtek drivers in the repository [11:53] I don't know what they do though [11:53] Jemt: Popular intel and atheros chips work fine with the default open drivers loaded for them by default [11:53] ! realtek | Jemt [11:53] Jemt: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [11:53] soreau: Yes, there are well supported, fortunately [11:54] Excellent, thank you :) [11:54] Jemt: And FWIW, broadcom is now releasing hw specs so we should see an open broadcom driver pop up soon enough [11:54] ikonia: What is a DNS server? What is a edubuntu server? What is a LAMP server? What is a mail server? What is a openssh server? What is postgreSQL database? I could go on and on [11:55] Is this download -> Show me how button supposed to do anything? [11:55] truepurple: what do you mean "what is" [11:55] What do those do? [11:55] soreau: Perfect, looking forward to that [11:55] hello can you help me find an msn app? [11:55] truepurple: you don't want them, you wanted a desktop didn't you [11:55] an official one [11:56] lewis: there isn't one [11:56] isnt there? [11:56] <_Alex__> lewis: If yo want, use wine to emulate the original [11:56] no [11:56] msn is windows only (official client) [11:56] lewis: microsoft does provide any official apps for linux [11:57] lewis: You can use wine to run native windows applications [11:57] <_Alex__> lewis: MS doesn't like us [11:57] ikonia I don't need any of those for internet? [11:57] thanks [11:57] truepurple: no === administrator is now known as Guest46768 [11:57] <_Alex__> lewis: winehq.org [11:57] Hello, I corrupted my partition table by deleting one of the partitions and the freed space can't be used now. Is it possible to repair it? [11:57] ikonia: So just pick a desktop and that is it? [11:57] truepurple: yes [11:58] ikonia: Which one would be best for a beginner? [11:58] ubuntu/gnome is the most common [11:58] hi [11:59] <_Alex__> trupurple: Gnome=Easy to use, KDE=Cool and Fancy [11:59] kos_, use gparted to make the freed space into a partition [11:59] I have alot more options then that [11:59] and none of them say gnome or KDE [11:59] truepurple: just pick the ubuntu/gnome option [11:59] gparted don't see any partitions :/ [11:59] truepurple: ubuntu-desktop ? is that in the list ? [11:59] <_Alex__> What are your options? [12:00] fdisk shows them correctly i guess [12:00] does anyone know if its possible to get xmms2 displaying status in gnome toolbar? similiar to this picture http://tech.mahesha.com/wp-content/images/xmms2_conky.png [12:00] kos_: How did you delete the partition? [12:00] kos_: can you mount them? [12:00] Ikonia there is Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu [12:01] And Edubuntu KDE [12:01] <_Alex__> Kubuntu=KDE, Ubuntu=GNOME [12:01] The rest? [12:01] <_Alex__> Xubuntu=XCfee [12:01] <_Alex__> i think [12:01] d/l ff 4 tar file extracted to home dir. removed the old ver now cant start ff the easy way , i have to go to firefox dir in home and start from there no icon no menu please help [12:01] Xfce [12:01] truepurple: ok so "ubuntu" [12:01] Edubuntu is? [12:01] <_Alex__> A addon [12:01] truepurple: don't worry, just use ubuntu [12:02] ubuntu 10.04 [12:02] Ok, thanks [12:02] truepurple: Its ubuntu with a bunch of additional applications installed geared toward educational purposes [12:02] i wanted to divide sda6, so i deleted using ubuntu default disk service, but i was bad idea i guess [12:02] I think it comes with gnome and kde [12:02] truepurple: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives [12:02] ! edubuntu [12:02] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [12:02] hi, i've installed ubuntu on a pendrive and am thinking of using it from there [12:02] truepurple: it's probably a good idea to read the background of a project before using it [12:02] kos_: System > Administration > Disk Utility? [12:03] Yes [12:03] do i need to make any configuration changes to the pendrive to last longer? [12:03] no [12:03] kos_: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [12:04] also, i've noticed that applications take longer to load than they would take from an HDD [12:04] Bye, thanks for all the help :) [12:04] synaptic for instance takes longer [12:04] austinium: not surprising [12:04] to install packages, reload package lists [12:04] Does driver do even-wear on usb sticks or does that have to already be supported by the hw [12:04] whaqt is sampsung apps? [12:04] soreau: needs it on the chip on the disk [12:04] i have it partitioned as etx4 [12:04] ext4 [12:04] austinium: that's fine [12:05] austinium: Its going to take longer because usb bus is slower [12:05] soreau: That has to be done by the hardware. Even with flash cards wear leveling is done on the card itself. [12:05] whats sampsung apps?? [12:05] Jordan_U: Thats what I meant, wear-leveling [12:05] I am getting the error while compiling my C programme inttypes.h not found when I can see it in my /usr/include folder, how to get rid of this error. [12:05] is anything i can do to make sure the usb drive doesn't die sooner due to frequent read write operations? [12:06] Jordan_U: ikonia: thanks [12:06] soreau: You're welcome. [12:06] DarkSector: install the header, or remove the reference [12:06] ikonia: the header is already installed, its there in /usr/include, aren't all header files present in the /usr/include [12:06] austinium: Apparently nothing you can do if your flash drive doesnt already have wear-leveling support [12:07] soreau:how do i check if it has it? [12:07] DarkSector: depends where you application is expecting to reference them from [12:07] austinium: no idea [12:07] ikonia: isn't gcc supposed to take it from there ? but ofcourse I am using gcc-avr [12:07] austinium: it won't [12:07] ikonia: this error wasn't occuring in 10.04 but does in 10.10 [12:07] DarkSector: it's set in the makefile, [12:07] austinium: I doubt it does though as this is a relatively new technology [12:07] ikonia: oh ! [12:08] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/8d9NhWuJ , it is not english version [12:08] ikonia: er.. how can I find that ? [12:08] DarkSector: maybe a differnce include path in gcc-avr over gcc, I don't know [12:08] DarkSector: doulbe check are you using "#include " or "#include "inttypes.h"" [12:08] soreau: ok [12:08] is there an official msn app? [12:08] nrdb_: #include [12:08] <_Alex__> lewis: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [12:08] lewis: Why are you asking the same question? [12:08] lewis: you've been told [12:09] Jordan_U: it returns bad signature error [12:09] DarkSector: hmmm! ok [12:09] kos_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo LANG=C parted -l". [12:09] DarkSector: how about the permissions of the "/usr/include/inttypes.h" [12:09] <_Alex__> lewis: GO TO winehq.org, ADD WINE TO YOUR UBUNTU REPOs., TYPE AS SUPERUSER 'APTITUDE INSTALL WINE' AND DOWNLOAD MSN FROM MICROSOFT.COM !!!!! [12:10] nrdb_: -rw-r--r-- [12:10] is there a way to use apt to check the md5sum of every file from every package installed ? [12:10] bouma: Yes, using debsums. [12:10] or otherwise to check the integrity of all the packages on a system [12:10] Jordan_U: cheers [12:10] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/5SmQJPX9 [12:11] Jordan_U: will it reinstall those packages that it detects have files that have been altered / other than in /etc.. eg [12:12] I just want to make sure i am not crazy before i start something, i can use the presure to boot from flashdrive on a hardrive [12:12] right [12:13] <_Alex__> lewis: And you can use 'Empathy' as your MSN client [12:13] DarkSector: that appears OK... I don't know what else to check. ... maybe you could explicitly put '/usr/include' into the search path with the gcc option '-I' [12:14] hey all... can anyone tell me why video players on ubuntu can play the ogg video I made on ubuntu, but video players on other OS' (windows) can't? Even if I use updated VLC on both machines, there's a disparity... [12:14] <_Alex__> cainus: You need codecs [12:15] so media/data now exists but the drive isn't mounted there. in gparted the mount point is still media/random string [12:15] <_Alex__> !medibuntu [12:15] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:16] Alex: it's the other way around... the video plays in ubuntu, but not windows (and youtube can't read it either) [12:16] broon_sparrow: Why do you keep looking at gparted? You should be looking at mount and /etc/fstab [12:16] <_Alex__> Weird [12:16] right im on the wine website now what do i click?

[12:30] I am currently ussing Ubuntu 9.10 Koala [12:31] the ubuntu one [12:31] hi; I have trouble with hibernation, and have tried a good amount of things to get it working. There are no errors (when running pm-hibernate; just a black screen) which makes it harder to debug. [12:31] io yes [12:31] truepurple: which desktop are you on now? [12:32] with a XGA connected in twinview configuration. Everything works fine with the exception I cant visualize video on the projector. I get the player window but it only shows black content [12:32] any idea about what can be wrong [12:32] command prompt only ruan (this is a different PC) [12:32] truepurple: try 'startx' [12:32] or gdm [12:33] yeah startx [12:33] disconnecting, there is a install command I stumbled upon for 0desktop, but it wants the online connection [12:33] I dont know if what it is trying to install is what I am looking for, but we shall see [12:33] truepurple: did you try the above? [12:34] no, I cant try that right now anyway [12:34] startx may get it working [12:34] why not? [12:34] Its trying to install, and I dont know how to abort [12:34] ctrl c? [12:34] installing what? you've said that ubuntu was already installed [12:34] ah ok that worked [12:34] hy all [12:35] ctrl c kills the process in a terminal === adycovaci1988 is now known as Bahart [12:35] I don't know, it said something about 0desktop, when I typed that, it listed a command to type to install, so I typed that command and it tried to download and install some unknown program [12:35] oh.

[12:41] oh, to put it on the webpage? Ok I will try it, disconnected again [12:41] truepurple: on the other computer, in the terminal type: 'apt-get install pastebinit; startx | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com' [12:42] truepurple: you don't need to visit any website. that command will put the errors on a pastebin and give you the URL [12:42] truepurple: then you give us the URL, we have a look and see if we can help [12:43] hi [12:43] hi [12:43] problem [12:43] solution [12:44] I am running shutdown +1 in a power.d script, that is executed on power change (on change to battery power). If changing back to AC power within one minute, I want to cancel the shutdown. However, neither shutdown -c nor killall shutdown can find the process, according to /var/log/pm-powersave.log . Any ideas on how to cancel the shutdown? [12:44] truepurple, :what is the command you said [12:45] (shutdown -c and killall is obviously also commands run in th pm-powersave script [12:45] io:what is the command which will put errors in the pastebin [12:45] varun_: ----- | pastebin [12:46] varun_: ----- | pastebinit [12:46] correction ^^^ [12:46] I am currently using ubuntu 9.10 Koala connected with a XGA video projector in twin view configuration. Most of time it works perfectly, but there is a problem when a try to play videos (with ubuntu player or VLC). I play a video and in the laptop screen i can visualize it ok, but in the projector i get the player window but it does not show any content but a black screen. I have tried to change the resolution configuration to XG [12:46] I need to get this issue solve within 1 hour or I will get my A$% kicked. Please help! any idea!!?? [12:47] Does anyone know how to implement imgur uploading in Shutter? [12:47] yisas_2011: some settings in the bios that could enable the external display? [12:47] hi, is vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 100 the default? [12:47] yisas_2011: Can you use mplayer? [12:47] yisas_2011: It has to do with GPU video acceleration (via overlay). You can disable video overlay and it will work fine (though maybe at a lower FPS). [12:48] yisas_2011: What video player are you using? [12:48] Jordan_U: He said vlc [12:48] Jordan_U: I am using VLC [12:49] Hello [12:49] vlc/totem it seems [12:49] ruan: What? [12:49] Jordan_U: I have tried to disable the overlay but it didnt solve the problem [12:49] terry: which he is using [12:49] yisas_2011: Tools > Preferences > Video > Video output. Select "X11". [12:50] let me try [12:50] nobody with the same hibernation problem in ubuntu 10.10 who found a fix? [12:51] Oops, I made a mistake, I got the error messages from canceling that last install mixed up with the message from typing startx [12:52] BTW that command you said to use, I could not make one of the characters in it, the straight up and down lines [12:52] yisas_2011: Look at xrandr for another resolution that might be acceptible (to the projector). Maybe changing will make a difference. [12:52] truepurple: its a key next to enter [12:52] truepurple: | [12:53] terry: I don't think you understand. He is seeing everything on the projector screen except the movie. [12:53] Not on either of the keyboards I have here [12:53] truepurple: and backward slash? \ [12:53] I can make backwards slash \ [12:53] Jordan_U: Maybe he should fiddle with the projector's config. [12:54] truepurple: hold shift while pressing backwards slash [12:54] Jordan_U: GREAT! [12:54] it works now [12:54] THANK YOU SO MUCH! [12:54] Ah, it shows two doted line colon, not a solid line [12:54] yisas_2011: You're welcome. [12:54] yisas_2011: im glad it works for you [12:54] if noone know, could someone run "sysctl vm.vfs_cache_pressure" and tell me the value?

When I click on home, documents, or pictures for example, a terminal window opens with the messaage "Cound not exec /home/user: Permission denied" [14:08] j_ayen_green: there are plenty of usable backup options [14:08] ikonia, consider it toned... only clever people would have known anyway...so it's sort of an ego booster [14:08] ikonia, simplebackup is 'usable' [14:08] it's not appreciated, but thank you for stopping [14:08] j_ayen_green: sure [14:09] Pirsch: why is it trying to exec [14:09] No idea. Sorry, I'm a noob [14:09] But when I click it, the terminal opens with the message and then closes [14:10] Ubuntu 10.10 is not getting [14:10] gaurav_help: not getting what [14:10] :') [14:10] bl4ckcomb I suppose it should have occurred to me, using version control instead of backup software :), but it didn't until you said it. what a great idea! [14:10] this is like sunday drivers on IRC [14:11] bl4ckcomb, the backup volume would be the repository with svn? I guess with git both would be.

I use RAID mirroring for backup [14:11] ikonia: I installed Tweak and no doubt I tweeked just a little too much. Is it possible to reinstall something to get my old settings? [14:11] need help repairing MBR for WUBI install [14:11] gaurav_help: I have told you what do about that [14:11] Pirsch: no, plus ubuntu tweak is not something I support or receommend, if you need a tool like that to do basic things, you shouldn'tbe doing it [14:12] j_ayen_green, for both a simple directory could be a repository. So you can dedicate a whole disk/partition or just a folder in a shared partition [14:12] bl4ckcomb, well, in my case the source is a laptop, so I need to deposit the files somewhere first [14:12] ikonia: I won't say I don't agree with you at this point. :) Self-learning is not without a little pain. [14:13] Pirsch: that's not a bad attitude to have [14:13] j_ayen_green, yes, if your laptop doesn't support 2 disks, you're probably better of with a remote repository on a desktop/server machine [14:13] Does anyone know how to implement imgur uploading in Shutter? [14:14] ikonia: what about creating a new user ID with all the admin freedom, log out, log in and delete my current ID? [14:14] Pirsch: what's your current username (this is easy to fix) [14:14] bl4ckcomb, doesn't it get messy, though, if some of the directories being backed up are under svn control already? for instance, if I'm working on a project and the directory is checked out from a client's svn, and I'm not ready to commit, how would I back that up to a different svn? [14:14] brian [14:14] ikonia: brian [14:15] Pirsch: open a terminal and type this "sudo chown -R brian:brian /home/brian && sudo chmod -R 775 /home/brian" [14:15] j_ayen_green, as I said I use RAID mirroring. it's done on kernel level and it syncs whole partitions on multiple disks. So if one drive fails, you can replace it without losing data [14:16] Pirsch, ikonia: wait [14:16] ikonia: that will make all his files executable though [14:16] ? [14:16] Help, I've been running a 64 bit linux distro for years. I want to install ubuntu in virtualbox and the ubuntu website says that the 32 bit version is recommended. Why? Any problems with your 64 bit version? [14:16] jrib: yes, it will get him in, we can pull it back once we understand what's happened [14:16] j_ayen_green, or did i misunderstand your question? [14:17] ikonia: chown: cannot access /home/brian/ .gvfs': Permisiion denied [14:17] my iRiver won't even play unless i pray... talk about the Age of the Spiritual Machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Spiritual_Machines [14:17] Pirsch: that's ok [14:17] bl4ckcomb, right. in this case, it wasn't a hardware failure, it was drush wiping my dev directory :( well, the question is again, if I first need to get the files onto the platform that has raid, and were to use svn to do that, I could have directories that need to be under svn control from their original project repository as well as the backup repository. [14:17] ikonia: ok [14:17] B9: why are you posting that in an ubuntu uspport room, don't do it [14:18] ikonia: well it isn't exactly off topic :-D [14:18] B9: it is totally offtopic [14:19] ikonia: creative lisence [14:19] B9: no - it is totally offtopic, please don't post things like that again [14:19] j_ayen_green, why would you need a backup repository? Just make sure no-one has permissions for deleting your actual repository [14:19] ikonia: If I uninstalled Tweak, would it restore my previous settings? [14:19] ikonia: *humph* [14:19] Pirsch: doubtful [14:19] B9: is that a "yes" ? [14:20] ikonia: Should be worth a try? [14:20] Pirsch: not really, but if you want [14:20] j_ayen_green, if they are removing files from the repository, you can just checkout a previous revision and continue from that one again [14:20] Pirsch: just do the command I told you [14:20] ikonia: i am just feeling DUMBfounded that i can't discover what is on my flash drive... aghast in fact [14:20] ikonia: I did and I was denied permission [14:21] j_ayen_green, the only 'weak spot' then is your local version on your laptop [14:21] Pirsch: show me the output of "ls -la /home" in a pastebin please [14:21] B9: your earlier pastebin shows you trying to mount /dev/sda1. That's definitely not your flash drive [14:21] j_ayen_green, so just make sure you commit whenever possible [14:21] (continuous integration) [14:21] jrib: i just don't understand why when i plug it in sometimes it discovers and then other times it doesn't it is so fickle [14:22] bl4ckcomb, right..the problem is that I don't necessarily want to commit 'across the board', I want to backup (commit) but am not ready to update the client's project repository (not commit) [14:22] B9: check dmeg when it fails to mount when you plug it in if you want to investigate [14:22] ikonia: total 12 [14:22] drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-03-27 09:05 .

[14:26] Polah: that's just permissions, you just need to grant permisisons to individual databases to individual users, then when they login they can only see the db's they have permission to [14:26] ikonia: I opened Nautilus through terminal and then did the relaod. I caould access my files, I guess cause I'm sudo. But once I closed Nautilus and tried clicking on my folders, I was again denied permission. [14:27] bl4ckcomb, unless, does svn support identifying the intended repository on the commit, so that I could commit to the backup repository but not the project one? It would need to in some sense anyway, otherwise how would it know to commit to TWO repositories? Am I befuddled enough? [14:27] Pirsch: ok, lets clear a few things down, can you reboot your machine ? === madalin is now known as mindware [14:27] jrib: most commandline is gobbleygook to me but i bumble my way thru http://paste.ubuntu.com/586143/ [14:28] B9: /dev/sdb1 is what you should be trying to mount [14:29] ikonia: I just noticed I got a warning in terminal when I executed Nautilus. : (nautilus:2938): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks", [14:29] ikonia: I'm using Gnome3 [14:30] Pirsch: how are you using gnome 3??? [14:30] question: if I install a new shared library like libx264, do I need to run ldconfig manually? [14:30] edwinkcw_: the package install normally does it for you [14:30] in ~/.bashrc I have COMMAND_PROMT variable. How can I print last entered command in terminal as string? [14:30] jrib: it says it is already mounted, but when i go into the "media" folder i cant find it :-( i need a gui [14:30] ikonia: it's in repositories. I love it. Really cool and uber fast. [14:30] How can I encrypt a file symmetrically? Seahorse and seahorse-plugins are installed. However, when I right click on a file I only get the option to encrypt with my keypairs. [14:31] LiquidDemocracy: gpg -c file [14:31] Pirsch: it's not in the repos - its in a PPA, so to be clear, you're new to Linux, you're using an unsupported development desktop build, and unsupported tweak tools that are designed for gnome 2 [14:31] Pirsch: that's not a good setup [14:31] erUSUL, yes, but there also is a GUI way. I have done it in the past a lot. [14:31] ikonia: is this where I say "oooops" and place a bag over my head? [14:32] ikonia: Are databased named as .? [14:32] Pirsch: I'd suggest re-installing and going to a stable OS and desktop version [14:33] ikonia, but after installing it, I compile ffmpeg and it said the library are missing until I run ldconfig. Then everthing goes fine. That's why I ask this question [14:33] ikonia: is there a commandline that will rust reinstall 10.10? [14:33] * ManateeLazyCat pasted "ssh-tunnel.desktop" at http://paste2.org/get/1327913 [14:33] I have add "plink -N -v name@server -D 127.0.0.1:7070 -pw password" in ~/.config/autostart/ssh-tunnel.desktop (like above), but why plink not startup after i login? [14:33] edwinkcw_: how did you install it ? [14:33] It's strange. [14:33] Any idea? [14:33] B9: no [14:33] I compile libx264 with ./confgiure --enable-shared and make, and sudo make install [14:33] edwinkcw_: that's why then [14:34] edwinkcw_: I said it does it for you if you install the package, you've not installed the package, you've manually built it [14:34] umm...what is the problem? [14:34] with 10.10 bits and pieces of the gui just fall off, i can't even open a search folder anymore :-( [14:34] ikonia: but gnome3 is so pretty. :D Jokes aside, I hear you. One of the benefits of being noobistic is that reinstallations are like walking. I do them without thinking. (obviously) :D [14:34] ic [14:34] that means I need to do ldconfig every time when I compile library from source? [14:34] edwinkcw_: correct [14:35] iknoia: thanks [14:35] edwinkcw_: I'd strongly advise you against compiling libraries from source though [14:35] I get this on startup... "NO Init Found. Try passing init = bootarg" then (initramfs) .... what can I do to repair this startup [14:35] area51pilot: look at the partition that is supposed to contain init, make sure it's there and make sure your grub config is pointing at it [14:35] ikonia, but some libraries are missing in Ubuntu [14:35] Are there any known problems with SSH failing on Ubuntu 10.04? [14:35] edwinkcw_: then install them from the package manager [14:35] Polah: no [14:36] i give up an hour and a half is long enuff to try and discover a flash drive, good night everyone or morning or afternoon wherever u r [14:36] j_ayen_green, I can't follow... when you commit your new revision you say what target repository you want (url) and who you are (username + password) [14:36] ikonia, I mean it is missing in package manager also [14:36] edwinkcw_: which ones ? [14:36] B9: you should pastebin your attempt at mounting it [14:36] ikonia: thanks for your time and efforts. I'll start a fresh reinstall. I'll miss my 1.5 sec shut down. [14:36] j_ayen_green, so if you have multiple projects, you create a repository for each project [14:37] #ubuntu.pl [14:37] Pirsch: enjoy [14:37] ikonia: libxavs [14:37] ikonia: i also get mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or dir ( same for /sys on /root/sys & /proc on /root/proc...target file system does not have /sbin/init [14:37] Polah, not that I'm aware of , unless it's a specific problem with an individual network setup [14:37] area51pilot: yes, that's not unuepected [14:37] ikonia: which is a video codec in China [14:37] unexpected [14:37] edwinkcw_: I don't know that one, sorry [14:37] Is there a way to symmetrically encrypt a file with a GUI under Gnome? [14:38] ikonia, that's fine [14:38] Polah, what's the problem ? [14:38] ikonia... [14:38] ikonia: I have no clue ... whats up...and btw it's a WUBI installed 10.10 OS [14:38] yes ? [14:38] eh [14:38] one more question, how do I install CUPS with SSL support? [14:38] BluesKaj: I've just attempted to connect to my VPS via SSH and FTP and both fail; I've tried rebooting and it still won't connect, but Apache and PHPMyAdmin are still running fine. It was working fine last night when I stopped using it [14:38] anyone had trouble with skype in xubuntu? [14:38] area51pilot: sorry, I don't support wubi installs [14:38] ok [14:38] edwinkcw_: you don't need ssl support for cups [14:39] are there any commands from the BusyBox shell to try and stratup the file sys [14:39] startup [14:39] ikonia: but my printer server is using https as protocol [14:39] edwinkcw_: that's fine, cups will deal with that [14:39] can any body tell me how to install chromium web browser through terminal [14:40] bs_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [14:40] ikonia: but I can't find https in printer setting page [14:40] hello,everybody : )) [14:40] ikonia: I found samba, http, lpd [14:40] edwinkcw_: point it at 443 [14:40] area51pilot: when did the problem appeared? [14:40] :) [14:40] :) [14:41] Is there a way to symmetrically encrypt a file with a GUI under Gnome? [14:41] #ubuntu.pl [14:42] ikonia: do you mean I type http://server:443/print_queue in device URI? [14:42] Polah, ok that's somewhat beyond my scope ..I'm used to ssh on wans or lans [14:42] edwinkcw_: try it [14:42] LiquidDemocracy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585912 [14:42] Hey, Anyone here familiar with preseeding?

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. [14:49] Thank you [14:49] LiquidDemocracy, in that case, all I can say is use gpg -c file_to_encrypt :-( [14:50] my touchpad has a mind of its own [14:50] what exactly? updated?

After years of Linux and its evolution. Thousands of programs, programs to manage how often one blows his nose to recipe management tools and there is not a tool to symmetrically encrypt files via GUI like in Windows. [14:52] sounds like a volunteer to build one [14:52] LiquidDemocracy, well, I just don't know of any :-P. I use cli first for most things. [14:53] which msn client is good in Ubuntu? I tried emesene but there is a bug when adding people [14:53] LiquidDemocracy, what tga said. Go extend seahorse :-P [14:53] I'm having some serious issues with 10.10, after updates I can no longer get past the login screen. Anyone encountered this before?

I just find it _truly_ amazing. [14:55] smw: btw, what are the difference between empethy and pidgin? I think they are the same [14:55] my touchpad has a mind of its own...

[15:40] old kinda [15:40] i.e. ubutu [15:40] Anyone got any ideas? [15:40] I'm not entirely sure. How do I check? [15:40] It goes unresponsive overnight. [15:40] but it should be able to, but install disk always crashes on it [15:40] Well, do you have an nvidia card, bteres? [15:40] nightshade, how old ? [15:41] Spthysis: please go to 140.211.15.9 in your web browser to see what i need?

I had screen resolutions when i first installed linux but i fixed that with something i found online. [15:41] I think you're getting there [15:42] it's redirecting to phpbb.com [15:42] it's not 90's old, but more late-90's, early 2000's [15:42] sauce_: I'd look carefully at what ajf said and also look at the hardware settings and bios on the dell and the monitor [15:42] Hey can i repost my question or should i wait a bit? [15:42] not mid-90's [15:42] bteres try unplugging the monitor, then turn off the computer, and plug the monitor in before turning the computer back on. [15:42] Spthysis: yup. so the link you sent is something like that? [15:42] but i'll try it [15:42] drc: oh yes [15:42] there's also hardware-enforced sleep [15:42] I think so.... [15:43] check the bios carefully [15:43] Spthysis: OK. Will try that now. [15:43] what are you using to redirect the IP to phpbb anyway? [15:43] anyways, i'm going home to get stoned. See ya [15:43] nightshade: Shame on you! [15:43] nightshade, my 7yr old compaq amd venice 3200+ cpu wasn't recognized on the lice-cd , it would sit there after the install choice , and do nothing , but nhe alternate install worked great..altho a 10yr old pc might not have enough RAM [15:43] I run a minecraft server on an old dell. I have it set not to fall asleep. But at night it like freezes up, and in the morning the screen is lit but black and i get no response out of it.

[15:44] Hey there. It looks like spidermonkey was removed from the Ubuntu application database at some point. I think it was the de-facto means to run JS inside gedit before. Is there an alternative? [15:44] how do I enable and disable a daemon at boot? e.g. smdb. I am confused by all those possibilities with upstart, update-rc, runlevels [15:44] ajf: Especially on old dells :) [15:44] join #pogl [15:45] drc: indeed [15:45] dells and others are famous for crashing when going into power-saving [15:45] nobody used that feature, so it was poorly implemented ;) [15:45] ajf [15:45] it would be the operating system [15:45] not the computer [15:45] no [15:45] the BIOS can be a problem [15:45] you know that half the power-saving stuff is done there [15:46] Yea, but it never did anything on windows [15:46] And as I said, power saving is enforced sometimes if ACPI doesn't work by the BIOS [15:46] Spthysis: thnx a lot [15:46] sauce_: Is ACPI working? [15:46] Im not sure [15:46] what is ACPI [15:46] someone remind me of the command to check that... [15:46] sauce_: er, google it [15:46] It basically lets the OS completely control the PC's power consumption [15:47] any software that encodes lower video quality movies to higher? [15:47] It is what allows auto-shutdown, spinning down hard disks, etc etc [15:47] Idk if its working [15:47] I've tried all of the methods on in the wiki about getting a persistent live USB working.

[16:17] Couldn't find package ppa-purge [16:17] THE_GFR|WORK: i am pretty sure you can check on your software sources [16:17] elias: darwinia is made for 32bit [16:17] oh, i see [16:17] xangua: good idea but how do I do that? [16:17] elias: it only works on 64 if you have the right libs; see http://gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:darwinia [16:18] does anyone know where are the screensaver themes in ubuntu netbook remix?

[17:10] My plan is to have 60GB of user data (e.g. movies, photos, pdf, etc) then I think that maybe it is a good option to keep them separate from my root partition (system files).

Thus you would lose a partition, not the entire drive [17:11] hej [17:11] anyone know what device my USB drive would be found on?

[17:14] Windows format, so probably NTFS or Fat32 [17:15] So I just took a look at that penetration distro that's built on the Ubuntu OS base, Backtrack. [17:15] Probably Fat32 because I just used it out of the box, didn't reformat it [17:15] hi [17:15] haw are you ? [17:15] UltraParadigm, do you have anything else plugged in?

[17:18] almis: use find [17:18] hvnsweeting, blender (i think) only uses python for the extra modules but not sure. blender does not need to be compiled. [17:18] i used here what i wrote grep "foo" find ~ -name "*.c" [17:18] basically I can manually extract out firefox 4.0 and make it work, but I need it to WORK WITH FLASH [17:18] whats the success rate of running linux on a macbook pro and how easy is it to dule boot i never used a mac but iv decided to chuck windows forever [17:18] Jon--: when you use ypchsh use /bin/bash as new shell [17:18] !mac [17:18] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [17:18] erUSUL, echo $SHELL gives /usr/local/bin/bash type 'bash', uses ~/.bashrc, gives /usr/local/bin/bash [17:18] almis: what?!!

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:19] Jon--: did you copied the profile file too ? [17:19] what kind of c development are you doing? [17:19] edbian: this is firefox 9.10 [17:19] Echoing $SHELL gives no difference between my default prompt and the prompt I get after typing bash manually, however only manually I get my ~/.bashrc [17:19] er ubuntu 9.10 [17:19] THE_GFR|WORK. Oh, I don't know then. I'm not even sure if FF4.0 would work on 9.10 [17:19] edbian: this is ubuntu 9.10 [17:19] !ff4 | GeekMan [17:19] GeekMan: 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 [17:19] THE_GFR|WORK, It will still work.

[17:21] THE_GFR|WORK, I can help you install it manually. You wanna do that? [17:21] UltraParadigm: sorry wrong nick [17:21] edbian: yes please :) [17:21] erUSUL, I know it's a matter of minor annoyance now that I need to execute bash manually, but I'd like to know why and how to change this, as an education tool. $SHELL doesn't change but it uses ~/.vimrc only if I execute bash after sshing in. [17:21] what about on powerpc [17:21] Jon--: copy your ~/.profile to the remote machine <<< [17:21] RPM is not only the package manager, but also the format, actually ubuntu package manager is APT but the supported format is debian, no?

[17:21] How can I change file permissions to be readable and executable by a certain program/process ? [17:21] !rpm [17:21] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:22] !APT [17:22] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

Why does it only use ~/.profile if it's my default shell, but if I manually execute bash it doesn't? [17:23] I should say, if I manually execute bash, it uses ~/.bashrc [17:23] Jon--: profile is only loaded on login. [17:23] But if it's my default shell, it doesn't, unless it's in ~/.profile [17:23] erUSUL: how to manually install a .deb package? using dpkg -i ? [17:23] Jon--: on, login shells [17:23] Hi. How can I enable the Broadcom WiFi drivers so my Ubuntu will work whenever I use one of these adapters? [17:23] That explains why it loads bashrc, sure, but why does it load bashrc if I run bash manually? [17:23] Which is really my question [17:23] Jon--: see the invocation section "on man bash" [17:24] erUSUL: how to manually install a .deb package? using dpkg -i ? [17:24] !deb [17:24] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [17:24] nerdshell: yes; or double click on it [17:24] nerdshell: or use gdebi [17:24] erUSUL, thanks [17:24] erUSUL: I'm talking about a terminal solution, dpkg -i is sufficient ? [17:25] nerdshell: yes [17:25] erUSUL: thanks ;) [17:25] nerdshell, sudo dpkg -i nameofpkg [17:25] nerdshell: for the second time [17:25] Jon--: no problem [17:25] nerdshell: use gdebi, it will try to resolve dependencies [17:26] tsimpson: actually dpkg -i also lists all dependencies , and then you can just get them with an apt-get install... [17:26] erUSUL, So, essentially, when I was running bash manually it was an interactive shell, so it used ~/.bashrc automatically, but when I used it as default and sshd in, it was a login shell, so it won't unless I change ~/.profile ? [17:26] nerdshell: yeah, gdebi will actually do that for you [17:27] Jon--: correct. read ~/.profile it loads bashrc if it exists [17:27] can I use dd to backup the mbr of my drives? [17:27] Excellent. [17:27] tsimpson: yes, but I always prefer the console solution if possible. === denny- is now known as denny [17:27] Starting to actually like Linux a lot, I was a Windows power user for many years.

[18:26] !sensors [18:26] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [18:26] THE_GFR|WORK, I still think you need to upgrade in oder to get FF4 mto work on your system, 9.10 is no longer supported and FF4 wasn't dev'd with an unsupported OS in mind , I'm sure. [18:27] GaryD: there's not - you might try running lubuntu in a VM [18:27] whats the recommended method of having ubuntu prompt me for my ssh passphrase on logging into X (and using it to add my key to a local ssh agent ?) [18:27] A_J: does lm-sensors work? [18:27] yea got that working [18:27] xsensor is also displalying some info [18:27] GaryD: you could look into apt pinning..but not guarantees how well it will end up..

[18:30] almis: doesn't sound like a very real life question. What homework/interview question is this ? :) [18:30] yeats: does it make use of multicore?

[18:34] THE GFR|WORK i think its time to update to 10.04 at least mate... [18:34] The_GFR|Work reboot then see if it works [18:34] THE_GFR|WORK, I told you. You're running two versions behind the current Ubuntu release. Firefox 4 was developed for 10.10 or above and 10.04 at a stretch. Upgrade Ubuntu and you'll probably see better results. [18:34] ok llutz tnx [18:34] ok me off [18:34] cya [18:34] Polah: thanks for telling me to upgrade to a version that does NOT work as well as 9.10 I tried 10.10 and it was slower than 9.10 on EVERYTHING [18:34] polah: how to acess the contenets externally [18:34] bye all o/ [18:34] jiltdil: you have to edit the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [18:35] py9371:thanx [18:35] THE_GFR|WORK, I'm telling you to upgrade to a version that will work with Firefox 4. [18:35] llutz: i write ls -l and there is the time... you think if i take the right column with the times i can solve the exercise?

[18:36] you mean find -mtime? [18:36] Polah: thats like saying "you are using firefox 4.0 on ubuntu 9.10 when its not physically possible" [18:36] almis: yes [18:36] THE_GFR|WORK: Like I said before, it might work by not perfectly. [18:36] jiltdil: thats one of the conf fiels.. thats the one you need to edit to change set where your sites are at [18:36] THE_GFR|WORK, I already told you that 10.10 will be fast ..it is on my amd 3200+ , but i guess you don't believe me , so wallow in your stubborness [18:36] Polah: I just need apturl stuff to work on firefox so I can install flash from adobe's website [18:36] llutz: but mtime is for days right? [18:37] if you do could you tell me please [18:37] bonjoyee: I've installed it from the app store or wahtever it is called not manually unsure how to do that [18:37] yeats: hopefully it should take a bit less than the 7 hours it did yesterday! [18:37] WHY WONT RIGHT CLICK WORK!!!!?????????????!!!!!!!!!! [18:37] I know how to do it through alsa [18:37] almis: sry, -mmin [18:37] BluesKaj: do you think I've never tried ubuntu 10.10? [18:37] also, apparently your capslock is stuc, lefty|ubuntu [18:37] jiltdil: that might be for setting up handler for other programming languages [18:37] regeya i know its on [18:38] lefty|ubuntu: just a wild guess, have you tried using another mouse? [18:38] gone smokes [18:38] regeya im on a laptop [18:38] THE_GFR|WORK: the manual method is where you actually download the libflashplayer.so file from adobe and place it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [18:38] py9371:ok i opened httpd.conf throgh gedit under/etc/apache2 but it opens as a blank text editor [18:38] so how do I manually install or link up firefox with flash plugin? [18:38] llutz but as i know i can just write the minutes... for example -mmin 30 how i can specify the time? [18:38] more sleep required. "I'm on a laptop" to the tune of "I'm on a boat" going through head now. Off to get caffeine. [18:38] almis: -mmin = File's data was last modified n minutes ago [18:39] bonjoyee: I tried to download it, but firefox says it can't handle apturl stuff, so it didn't even give me an option to save it [18:39] THE_GFR|WORK: what version of ubuntu are you using? 32bit or 64? [18:39] bonjoyee: 32bit [18:39] jiltdil: i dont think you even need to worry about that with html [18:39] yes but i need from 11:00-11:50 i dont need last time :D [18:39] jiltdil: just create your site in /var/www/ [18:39] lefty|ubuntu: again, have you tried a mouse? I'm wondering if it could be your button... [18:40] almis: oh, not "yesterday 11-12"? [18:40] not... [18:40] jiltdil: and to view it go to http://localhost or 127.0.0.1 [18:40] THE_GFR|WORK: download this onto your disk http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.2_for_Linux_(.tar.gz) [18:40] i can not find remastersys in ubuntu 10.10 [18:40] py9371:so what should i have to do with httpd.conf file [18:40] localhost or 127.0.0.1 === mikael_ is now known as Guest61439 [18:40] regeya yes i have tried a different mouse same result and it cant be the button because it works fine on windows [18:41] jiltdil: you dont have to do anything whith that file unless you are using ohter programming languages besides html [18:41] llutz: i think the only solution is with ls -l [18:41] py9371: this is to acess locally if i want to acess it from externally then what should i do? [18:41] jiltdil: apache2.conf you might have to configure though [18:41] almis: in that case, yes [18:42] py9371:thanx for such nice to me as i am learning to much from you [18:42] hi [18:42] ok [18:42] bonjoyee: I put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [18:42] bonjoyee: should I see if it works now? [18:42] jiltdil: you have to set you ip address to static so that it stays the same , than you have to configure you router, and go to your IP address from another computer [18:42] I keep having gdm crash on me, randomly when I am doing work. How do u think I should go about solving this? [18:42] THE_GFR|WORK: no ..first purge any version you installed from the repos.. [18:43] jiltdil: you have to configure you router security and firewall to allow that and than go to you IP address [18:43] It has started after installing 10.10 [18:43] py9371: ok [18:43] you IP address will change all the time unless you configure it to static... [18:43] THE_GFR|WORK: if that doesn't work, i find the flash-aid plugin is the easiest way to make flash work in ubuntu firefox - have you tried that? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flash-aid/ [18:44] py9371: you have lots of knowledge thanx for helping me so much ,but how to make my ip static [18:44] THE_GFR|WORK: first completely remove any earlier versions of flash player that may be installed and then place it under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [18:44] just go into network settings [18:44] oh wait you might have to takl to you ISP [18:44] i forget [18:44] hello... i would like to ask have anyone experienced problems in ubuntu 10.10 trying to play any sounds? the sound speakers are shuffeling to me :[ [18:44] yeah I think you already have Static from ISP you just have to change local settings [18:45] py9371: how should i know that i have got static ip [18:45] can I use rapidshare uploader here? [18:45] you have to upgrade UBuntu speakers settings were screwed up for a while or else go to setting [18:45] bonjoyee: thank you so much it worked!!!!! [18:45] jiltdil, if you don't know you 99% don't have one [18:46] jiltdil: you have to set it manually so that it stays the same and it not automatically assigned everytime youre computer starts up\ [18:46] in ubuntu?

Apperently bonjoyee knows how to actually fix things on ubuntu! [18:46] jiltdil: that way you can connect a domainname to a specific IP address [18:46] THE_GFR|WORK: thats the way i have been using flash for 4 years!!..its a bit labourious but always worked....and i as use 64bit..i dont have to update that often... [18:46] kudos to bonjoyee for excellent assistance [18:46] py9371:giff:thanx [18:46] lol [18:47] i am learing so much from you guys [18:47] THE_GFR|WORK: glad ..i could help!!:) [18:47] I keep having gdm crash on me, randomly when I am doing work. How do u think I should go about solving this? [18:47] bonjoyee: answer me this, why do most people here not know how to get it working as quickly and easily as you do? [18:47] Hi all- Has anyone had the pc freezing on Aspire One D250 with Umbutu 10.10. ? === cyborg is now known as Cyborgish === Cyborgish is now known as tripolitan [18:47] py9371: i understand all the basic you tell me yet thanx thanx a ton [18:47] Does rapidshare manager works in ubuntu? [18:47] THE_GFR|WORK: well..thats not entirely true...but yeah..no one knows it all!!!:P [18:48] zee313, give it a try with wine, but probably not. [18:48] is ubuntu safe to run on my windows phone? [18:48] Mikro402 What did you do the time it froze.? [18:48] bonjoyee: I'll try and remember your technique to get it running, apparently nobody asked me if flash player was actually there or to verify it, it wasn't actually there for some reason but it works now and thats really awesome! [18:48] py9371: i have added you in friend list [18:48] Verticl I had to cold boot [18:48] i will ask if i have other problem [18:48] lampy: not sure thats possible, there is a ubuntu/linux on arm project but i doubt you would get anything useful unless its a modern phone/tablet [18:49] THE_GFR|WORK: happy youtubing!!;) [18:49] jiltdil: yeah I use webfactions [18:49] THE HELL?? MULTI TOUCH MY MOUSE PAD WONT WORK!? [18:49] sry i didnt understand how to update sound speakers ;/ [18:49] py9371:webfactions? [18:49] jiltdil: that way i dont have to leave my computer on all the time yeah to actually host a site than you have to leave your computer on all the time [18:49] !caps | lefty|ubuntu [18:49] vertical it only happens when idle for a long time [18:49] lefty|ubuntu: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:49] I keep having gdm crash on me, randomly when I am doing work. How do u think I should go about solving this? [18:50] webfactions is like $108 a year and you can host multiple sites and they do all the configuring for you and you dont have to leave your computer on all the time [18:50] THE_GFR|WORK: but remember when you wish to update flash ..you have to do it manually..but it isn't so hard, is it? [18:50] is there a flavor of ubuntu (or linux in general for that matter) just for game development ? [18:51] ubuntu would work good for game developmnet [18:51] or maybe windows with maya or 3d max [18:51] Plz tell me I hav installed ubuntu alongside with windows XP. No my windows xp is not working properly. Question is this if I format C then whether the boot loader show ubuntu or not? [18:51] hey is it faster to move than copy some gigas within the same disk? [18:51] test [18:51] py9371:ok webfactions hostes web [18:51] zee313: i think it depends which order installed [18:52] hmm [18:52] ubuntu? [18:52] webfactions is a good host what i use [18:52] zee313, you first installed windows and then ubuntu? should work but as always first do the backup! [18:52] hey everyone else thanks for all the help with firefox and flash player but bonjoyee is the only one that could fix it easily [18:52] Hey how do I do the 3D desktop thing?

[18:52] woo [18:52] lol [18:53] arg [18:53] A|i3N Try compiz [18:53] silly bot [18:53] THE_GFR|WORK: please... don't flood. you've been asked not to a number of times. [18:53] zee313: you have to configure grub [18:53] LjL: sorry not intentional I have my problem fixed and am happy about that. === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [18:53] zee313: see windows and ubuntu both have there own boot loader program depending which one you installed first will be the boot loader you use [18:53] how to configure grub? I am a novice. [18:53] py9371, why? it would simply point to a non-exisiting windows install, linux woul still work [18:54] hey is it faster to move than copy some gigas within the same disk? [18:54] but also spamming my question apparently worked to get an answer thanks everyone for saying not to do so when it actually works! :D [18:54] giff: no i dont think it would just say grub error [18:54] I installed windows xp and then ubuntu [18:54] do you use GRUB or windows [18:54] THE_GFR|WORK: You're welcome, now just go away [18:54] py9371: html page is static page if i want to add dynamic pages then in which directory i have to go and add web [18:54] does your computer says grub loading [18:54] py9371, with old grub I'm sure it's no problem, I wouldn't bet on grub2 [18:54] but i mean a flavor of ubuntu just for game development with all the necessary packages pre-installed (like ubuntu studio) [18:55] THE_GFR|WORK: just imagine what would happen to this channel if all the 1600 people in it did that. sure, it may work, but it helps destroy this place. it's just screaming louder than others, and stating you're more important than them. [18:55] Pontios, move is faster by a HUGE margin [18:55] OK here we go. How do I make my desktop look like this: http://bit.ly/eSFGik [18:55] giff: and why does this happen? [18:55] jiltdil: you shouldnt have to configure anything unless you want to start using php or rails or something [18:56] Pontios, moving and copying are just not the same thing [18:56] Pontios, when you copy somthing everything is read _and_ written to the disk, a move simple changes the "pathname" and takes a few seconds [18:56] os65k try fedora, red hat... [18:56] Pontios, actually it's more complicated, inodes and such... [18:56] py9371:ok is it possible to acess my static web page that is in html from other computer [18:57] giff: oh [18:57] LjL: true but I can ask my question, then wait like I should an 5 hours goes by I ask again and then ask again and then when I repeat to quickly people get mad but my question does not get lost and it gets answered [18:57] zee313: yeah you have to change you router settings I think [18:57] Pontios: on the same filesyste, move just changes some inodes pointing to files (or however your filesystem handles it). Copying actually requires you to make a second copy of the data (which involves reading the original files and writing new copies of them (including a bunch of disk read/write/seek operations). [18:57] giff: i did move bewteen same partitions on the same disk, it takes 1 hour [18:57] i dont know just go to youre ip address [18:57] LjL: so... I dunno everyone seems to ignore me unless I make a fuss [18:57] giff: 2 partitions [18:57] from another computer [18:57] LjL: same as IRL [18:57] there is security risks with this [18:57] but whatever [18:57] you r going to have to change settingds [18:57] Pontios, then a move is like a copy followed by a delete, you can't change the "pathname" across partitions [18:57] Pontios: different partitions = different file systems = actually having to do all the read/write operations. [18:57] whats your IP [18:58] giff: ok [18:58] well anyhow flash works so I am happy [18:58] giff: then it takes more time in this case? cause copy would skip the delete? [18:58] THE_GFR|WORK: well, asking it every 10 minutes or so is fine, though. however, i understand it can be a bit frustrating in here, but i'm just trying to say that it only gets worse overall when people spam. but now i'll stop discussing this since it only contributes to offtopicness :) [18:58] THE_GFR|WORK, just be happy you have flash working...criticizing the rest of us doesn't help you gain any brownie points for the next time .You should still upgrade , just because it din't work once is no reason [18:58] zee313: your boot loader isnt going to work because thats windows you have to reconfigure GRUb by setting it back to default or something and than you should be able to format [18:58] ok now i have other problem :( i cant open a .rar file [18:58] ;// [18:59] zee313: what i would do would be try into reinstall grub [18:59] A|I3N this is done with compiz [18:59] zee313: but that might mess something up [18:59] VerticalFire: Thanks lol yea I found it, Just googled it [18:59] guys i write this.... sort -nk 7 time.txt... but i want to show me only number greater than 11 and smaller than 12 can i do this? [18:59] Directories in localhost are showing up as forbidden.. I ran chmod 755 on everything, and chown www-data on everything, reloaded apache, still no dice [18:59] A|i3N you welcome [18:59] How can I view static files in apache subdirectories of /var/www [19:00] VerticalFire: I see it's already installed - how do I go about setting it up? [19:00] py9371:sorry if you frusteted with my silly questions but i only want to learnn these things [19:00] Pontios, difficult to benchmark because the way hdd work copiing on the first partition close to the start of the partition will be faster and deleting, depending on the FS, doensn't take that much time anyway [19:00] A|i3N see in the system tab [19:00] hendrixski, you mean /var/www? [19:00] umm im not exactly sure how to do it but I think you just have to change some security settings and it should work [19:01] like turn off your routers firewall or something [19:01] hendrixski: it's got something to do with .htaccess i believe or in httpd conf you have to add enrty [19:01] but this brings security risks so you kind of have to know what your doing [19:01] A [19:01] py9371: To access it from an external source he needs to port forward [19:01] mkanyicy, yep, I made a directory in /var/www/ of just static .html files and I want to view them in a VM running IE8 ... and yeah... [19:01] how to reinstall I don't know. I never did that earlier. I want to format my windows and then again want to install again alongwith ubuntu. As ubuntu is not creating problem so. I want to reinstall window agin. I am afraid that If I format the C: drive I may also lose Ubuntu. that is the problem. [19:02] juk, I thought .htaccess was the least preferred way of doing thing in apache? no? [19:02] Zee313: Just format the partition that Windows is on [19:02] Unless you installed via Wubi [19:02] zee313: well your probably going to not be able to boot to that Harddrive because you bootloader and grub not going to be configure properly [19:02] zee313, you _need_ to backup first and installing windows after linux will delete GRUB which needs to be fixed [19:03] polah:py9371: ok i have added something in /var/www/ now i want to acess it from my virtual box installed os how to do that [19:03] hendrixski: whatever see apache's error log [19:03] zee313, if you worry about losing your ubuntu installation, get a hard disk and copy everything important to it, disconnect and store safely, then resume with the installations [19:04] juk, yeah ... reading this manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html tells me this: "In general, you should never use .htaccess files unless you don't have access to the main server configuration file" [19:04] corey [19:04] hello [19:04] juk, ah, Ok let me check out that error log [19:04] Hy!

It's annoying because then I can't remote with GUI, just ssh. Interestingly, X will start if a monitor is plugged in, but powered off! I've read through lots of google results, but nothing useful. What is the system looking for when it starts and how could I spoof it with hardware or software to make it think the monitor is there? [19:05] Guest37640, can you not get those drivers natively in Linux? [19:06] \\nick #corey [19:06] didnt work dang [19:06] Guest37640, You can nick with a #.

[19:39] Garrett: if they did, they would ask [19:40] yeah @ikonia but i was just checking to make sure [19:40] I do have the Debian menu package installed, but it's just creating a huge menu called "Other" that lists every application installed on my system [19:40] I am learning hacking too but i prepared my own target to break in. [19:40] do you know what the menu file is called? [19:41] Garrett, I could use some info, do you know which file stores the settings for screen res before x is booted into during initial startup? Where the Ubuntu 10.10 text is shown with the scrolling dots underneath? [19:41] try in a a terminal locate xfce [19:41] Pyash, It should be called menu.xml, but locate/find aren't turning it up [19:41] hendrixski: i have a feeling this is a 700 /home issue... [19:41] ahh, ok [19:41] jrtayloriv: it should be ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml [19:42] but updatedb& and then locate menu.xml [19:42] eas, It's not -- that's one of the places I've looked [19:42] Well imscifi are you trying to change the splash screen?

[19:42] interesting. [19:42] @search cleopatra schriff [19:42] prime: what are you trying to do ? [19:43] oops, I'm sorry [19:43] i hv just installed google earth on my ubuntu but problem is this that the shortcut is not opening Google Earth [19:43] bonjoyee, crap... maybe it's just easier to temporarily add these files to a running tomcat instance and access them from there because All I need to do is run my qUnit tests on IE8 [19:43] eas -- I've already tried searching for it. I also tried looking in /etc/xdg, and no luck there [19:43] wrong forum - darn tabs [19:43] if you touch ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml and restart xfce, does it read it? [19:43] Hello everybody :-) [19:44] hendrixski: this sounds like a simple permissions issue...but anyways as you wish... [19:44] eas -- one moment. I'm going to have to restart X.

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 [20:44] bittyx-laptop: not sure if firefox 4 will get into it [20:44] oerheks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/586235/ [20:44] giff, but I went to the java site and it says I only have 6 20 and not 6 24 [20:44] ikonia: in other words, it isn't recommended to install ff4 on ubuntu yet? [20:45] th0r: thanks, it was apt-get [20:45] bittyx-laptop: no, not at all, just be aware any problem is may cause, you're on your own [20:45] mymeatinyourseat, because you have openjdk installed [20:45] mymeatinyourseat, here's what you need to get 6b24: http://pastebin.com/ay289Up6 [20:45] I'm having issues with wireless setup on an old laptop which I'm trying to use a home server.

[20:45] ikonia: cool, thanks a lot for the info! [20:45] anyone know how to login to ftp via commandline using email as username? [20:46] mymeatinyourseat, don't know about freakin, but good, I guess so :P [20:46] systemonkey: man ftp will give you all the details on the command line options [20:46] systemonkey: the remote server has to support anonymouse connections for that [20:47] thx th0r. I'll look into it [20:47] fidyduce, maybe answer #8 is your solution, remove firmware installer > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1586261 [20:48] giff, I can't download and install anything off the net. it has to be only from the synaptic package manager. 'cause whenever I get stuff off the original web sites, and then when I go to try n open it, I get that red like do not enter sign. kinda like windows red x or yellow ! [20:49] ikonia. so if anonymous connection is disabled, there is no way? [20:49] systemonkey: correct [20:50] mymeatinyourseat, you don't have to dowload anything from the internet, just use software center, top right corner -> applications -> ubuntu software center [20:50] chmod 0666 , what kind of permissions does this give? [20:51] zxiest: read and write to everyone, no execute [20:51] giff, ty [20:51] th0r cool, thanks :-) [20:52] oerheks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/586238/ [20:52] giff, why whenever I try n open wine or my halo 1 cd, I get that red sign?? [20:52] i heard ubuntu is consider/maybe doing? moving from x11 to another desktop engine, will that invalidate existing programs on the repos? [20:52] mymeatinyourseat, can you post a screenshot? [20:53] fidyduce, do you have synaptic open, while performing this terminalcommand ? [20:53] Ok, I ran a make yesterday and it took about 7 hours. today I have started one using -j 3 to take advantage of dual core. How much time should it save? [20:53] giff, how and where [20:53] oerheks: nope, i have just the terminal open Sir...

[21:09] fidyduce, thought so. install bcmwl-kernel-source or use firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [21:09] how do i enable it in the BIOS? [21:09] I just don't know how to do a less than match in regex [21:09] fidyduce, the first one is preferable.

[21:10] fidyduce, I have the same chipset, and I use the broadcom STA driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) [21:10] antant: unknown [21:10] fidyduce, why not just use additional drivers gui ? [21:10] mongy: yeah the additional drivers came up and only the STA would work.... [21:10] it's being used in an RSS reader that is part of a bit torrent client [21:11] Is this a correct usage of a colon?

[21:15] fidyduce, and you dont need to be hooked up by cable for that either. [21:16] mongy: i short have to be right now...

[21:53] Gambuit [21:53] what? [21:53] <_antant_> xibalba: It does! Yes!!!! 3.5 hours NOT wasted! [21:54] <_antant_> cheers matey [21:54] _antant_ ; great man good luck [21:54] <_antant_> don't listen to them, I like you [21:54] lol, i dont care who does/doesn't like me :) [21:54] but thanks! [21:54] <_antant_> lol [21:54] Gambit_ Relax of you have a problem we will help you....Acting like a child will not help you at all [21:54] ok [21:54] folorn: sudo su will give you a root terminal - you'll need sudo once though [21:54] gambit, i think this is your best bet to start amigo -- http://www.google.com/linux [21:55] <_antant_> lol [21:55] of, you can try this if you want to make the switch -- http://www.google.com/bsd. [21:55] go try PCBsd [21:55] no way to just dl a terminal that has root abilities anywheres? [21:55] I don't know why is it such a problem when installing graphics drivers [21:55] what the heck does he mean? [21:55] <_antant_> Gambit_: NVidia? [21:55] Gambit_ : because not all drivers are supported, or supported well [21:56] no FGLRX ATI drivers [21:56] whoo, time to import my 15GB mysql databases [21:56] alsuna everytime i type su - and my pw it says athentication failure ??? [21:56] how do i get the movie to show picture while playing? [21:56] well then why do they say that linux supports all hardware [21:56] no one saysthat [21:56] Gambit_: Complain to AMD/ATI [21:56] thats nonsense [21:56] lol Gambit_ , where did you hear that buddy? [21:56] <_antant_> what's the problem with the ATI? I had one and it worked ok after a bit of fiddling [21:56] Gambit_, who said that? [21:57] folorn: nope. if you want root access, you need to authenticate. that's why you need "sudo su" [21:57] I have read it many times [21:57] Gambit_, where? [21:57] ooh sudo su ? [21:57] !root | forlorn [21:57] forlorn: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:57] folorn: yes [21:57] ahhhh k thank you so much :) [21:57] ok, bye guys [21:57] alsuna: that is not the right thing to tell him [21:57] ya it worked. [21:58] <_antant_> cheers again xibalba_ [21:58] folorn: that was still the wrong way [21:58] so now there is nothing I can do about the mixed colors? [21:58] itaylor57: why not? [21:58] Gambit_, didn't catch your actual problem, just joined [21:58] alsuna: he should use sudo -i [21:58] folorn: use sudo/gksudo instead [21:58] Hey guys, I just fresh-installed 10.10 here and the audio doesn't work. I just get about 0.1 sec of buzzing each second, whenever I try to play an MP3 file. [21:58] I know it's not the files; these all worked before this install [21:59] <_antant_> My net's so slow it won't even load web pages [21:59] ok, I just install FGLRX ATI drivers [21:59] and the colors are mixed up [21:59] <_antant_> There's 100k of downloading traffic goin on, so that's ALL I have. [22:00] itaylor57: sorry, seems ive been using a wrong way as well... thanks [22:00] Gambit_, what card do you have and mixed up in what way? [22:00] alsuna: np [22:00] well instead of green I see orange [22:00] ATI Radeon HD [22:01] 5740 [22:01] What is this? I found unknown connections to barbadine.canonical.com and one-ubuntu-com.calamansi.canonical.com but I don't want ubuntu one [22:01] Have it sent my private data to canonical already? [22:01] Gambit_, I don't think that Ubuntu provides support for proprietary drivers, that's a mistake by ATI programmers, but try checking the Catalys Control Center for color options [22:02] I tried I set them all to default [22:02] and it is still the same [22:02] Necrosporus: Delete it thru the Software Center [22:02] I deleted FGLRX and reinstalled it [22:02] same problem [22:02] guntbert the sudo su worked after i hit my pw quick [22:03] drc, i have removed ubuntu one via aptitude, but how can I check if my date is compromised? [22:03] Necrosporus: it's not [22:03] folorn: it "works", but may cause troubles in the future, so please always use sudo -i (if you absolutely have to - I cannot remember any occasion) [22:03] Gambit_, do you need 3D acceleration? [22:04] drc, then why have it established connections, while I haven't set it up? [22:04] SightUp, sudo apt-get remove [22:04] how do I need whether I need 3D accelaration? Sorry this is my first time with ubuntu :) [22:04] nah, i think i am done. its hard to install or just do anything in linux. [22:05] Gambit_, the free software driver that was installed by default supports all your 2D needs (browser, e-mail, anything that's not a 3D game etc.) [22:05] Gambit_, so if that was working well, stick to that for now [22:05] quant yes I know however the quality of the images is still bad compared to the quality in Windows, and btw how do I get back to the old settings? [22:06] Gambit_, how did you install the drivers? [22:06] Gambit_, the quality of images can't be affected in no way, the only thing that the ATI proprietary driver does for you is full 3D support [22:06] Administration-Additional Drivers- Activate ATI Driver [22:06] Gambit_, to get back just go to the additional drivers section in the menu and disable the proprietary driver [22:07] Gambit_, can you deactivate/unselect it there? [22:07] Gambit_, reboot and that's it [22:07] yes I can [22:07] but the quality remains bad of the images? [22:07] how do I fix that? [22:07] Gambit_, in what way?! [22:07] in a way they seem bit sketchy [22:07] the resolution is just fine [22:08] Gambit_, try disabling the proprietary driver, reboot and then check again, the images appear the same on any driver [22:08] i'm getting an "Error splicing file: Input/output error" when trying to copy a file from an external hd to my drive; has anyone seen this before? [22:08] Gambit_, in the sense of what you're saying [22:09] quant: ok I will try that but I know that from the beginning when I first installed ubuntu the quality of the images was worse then in windows [22:09] quant: how can this be? [22:09] furenku, it's usually a problem with the drive [22:09] Gambit_, try that thing and let's see what happens [22:10] ok and quant thanks man I really appreciate it [22:10] Gambit_: Because the drivers used in windows come from AMD/ATI, who refuse to write them for linux [22:10] Gambit_, helping as much as I know and can :) [22:10] okay thank you gunbert :) [22:14] how to use search in nano editor [22:14] quant: ok I disabled it and I rebooted [22:14] how to search for a keyword in nano editor [22:14] what library does ubuntu use for zip support? [22:15] my fls [22:15] deegee, ctrl + g [22:15] quant: the colors are back to normal but the image quality still ramains low, so the reason for this is that AMD/ATI don't write drivers compatible with linux? [22:15] how to search for a keyword in nano editor [22:15] deegee, ctrl + w that is [22:16] my flash doesnt work. its installed. there was a command to fix it. i forgot :( [22:16] Gambit__, no, the colors must be perfect with any driver [22:16] Gambit__, either it's some funny problem with your card or something else [22:16] quant: yes the colors are just fine but hte image quality is low as in a bit sketchy [22:16] Gambit__, can you post a screenshot? [22:16] quant after getting that result how can i get next result like i had two similar patern in my file i get only first one [22:16] yes [22:16] deegee, unsure, sorry [22:17] how do you remove the only panel you have? [22:17] can someone help me get a picture to show while watching a movie? [22:17] hey [22:17] fidyduce, is compiz enabled? [22:18] mongy, where do i check that one? [22:18] fidyduce, in appearances [22:18] Gambit__, http://imagebin.org/ [22:18] how can i install flash? [22:20] e?? [22:20] quant, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [22:21] mongy, right, I thought it was the same as in Debian [22:21] is there a way to run a command on suspend/hibernate? [22:22] flash doesnt work. what can i do? [22:22] how can i give permission to 2 users on a folder? [22:22] how can i give permission to 2 users on a folder? using "chown" ? [22:22] mongy, dude i am not finding the compiz option... [22:22] bezao, add both users to a group and then set the ownershipe of that director to the group [22:22] pfifo cant do that without a group ? [22:23] @bezao add both users to a group and then give that group permission [22:23] @bezao i don't think so [22:23] bezao, sorry, not with ext2/3 you only get 1 user and 1 group [22:23] okay, thanks guys [22:23] @kavurt which browser are you using? [22:24] princej88: firefox and chromium [22:24] kavurt: its not working in chromium either? [22:24] princej88: no, its installed. but i think its broken [22:24] kavurt: chromium i believe has built in flash [22:25] petewearspants, do you mean while on hibernate or suspend? [22:25] so it should work. I recommend reinstalling chromium [22:25] that's what i use [22:25] tjiggi_fo: just prior to supsending [22:25] hey [22:26] how can i install flash in ubuntu from terminal? [22:26] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [22:27] petewearspants, not sure I understand - are you looking for a command to hibernate or suspend? [22:27] tjiggi_fo: I want to add a custom command to be run when the laptop suspends. [22:28] fllthy: ty [22:28] use tab completion [22:28] quant: http://imagebin.org/145242 [22:28] ubottu: or: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [22:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:28] lol [22:29] quant: The quality is a lot less then in windows [22:29] or: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin === ponko is now known as Guest52138 [22:29] petewearspants, ah, so the stdin would be the suspend itself? I don't know how but look at the results of "apropos suspend" [22:29] quant: are you there bro? [22:30] Gambit_, post it on imagebin.org [22:30] quant:http://imagebin.org/145242 [22:30] quant: YOu notice the difference? [22:31] Gambit_, get in the brower and press ctrl + 0 [22:31] quant: yes, and? [22:31] Gambit_, nothing changed? [22:32] quant: ofcourse it did [22:32] quant: the size of the page displayed changed [22:33] Gambit_, so is it ok now? [22:33] quant: so quant my display quality is just fine ? [22:33] quant: yes it is, but when I zoom in a lil bit more then it becomes sketchy [22:34] Gambit_, that's because of zooming in, zoom in in windows on the same page and the same thing will happen [22:34] quant: lol ok , thank you so very much for helping me to fix the colors [22:34] quant: thanks for bearing with noobs like me [22:35] hola === Martinp01 is now known as hibob === hibob is now known as Martinp17 [22:35] Gambit_, not a problem... if your current driver works ok, don't install the proprietary one for now [22:36] quant: ok thanks again and may you have an aswesome and perfect life :D take care [22:39] !moo [22:39] hello [22:40] Does anyone know why evolution is needed in order to add notes? Do I really need to set up email software in order to add a simple note? [22:41] was wondering - everytime now after reboot my Visual Settings are set to None - Wasn't like that before. [22:41] roffe_: use another notes software. tomboy for instance [22:41] can someone help me to use avidemux to convert mkv to mpg [22:41] maxflax: before what? [22:42] erUSUL, yes, of course I will, but I just find it very odd why evolution is the default app for it? [22:42] terry, well before 1-2 weeks ago [22:42] roffe_: is the default "outlook" clone. calendar notes and email... many people are used to do those things in a single app [22:44] yes! im not banned! [22:45] guys where do i find apache support? [22:45] philipp_: #httpd === _antant_ is now known as antant [22:45] where can I find the source code of linux kernel? [22:46] kernel.org [22:46] terry, And I have to reset some of the values in compiz which it seems to have forgotten [22:46] erUSUL, Fair enough, I just wish making a note didn't "force" you to set up your mail. Evolution could be used, but without asking me to set up a mail. Anyway, ranting won't change anything... [22:46] het is there a bash channel [22:47] hiexpo: #bash [22:47] q [22:47] speaking of kernel source.. anybody have a good guide to help remove some fat off of the stock kernel? [22:48] nerdshell -- you can also download the sources via 'apt-get install linux-source' [22:48] (although that won't be the latest git version) [22:48] They will be in /usr/src/linux [22:49] so avidemux doesnt handle mkv [22:49] jrkoffjonson__, why do you want to trim fat off the stock kernel? [22:49] jrkoffjonson__, you will never cut enough to make it count ;-) [22:49] how will you read SD cards if you trim off fat? =p [22:50] pfifo, exactly! [22:50] i was under the impression stock kernels have code to help support a multitude of different computers. just want to remove some code that isnt specific to my machine and see if there is a possible performance gain [22:50] jrkoffjonson__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:50] jrkoffjonson__, that is what the module system is for. [22:51] plus it would be a good challenge for me- im new to linux and it would be pretty fun. and I'd like to see what I can learn and apply it to android programming that I'm now starting [22:51] jrkoffjonson__, if you are doing it for fun, have fun :-D. [22:51] jrkoffjonson__, I don't think it will help android development [22:52] jrkoffjonson__, skip borking with ubuntu and jump into linuxfromscratch [22:52] well android uses linux framework and kernels.. lol *shrug* [22:52] smw, It depends on what he means by android development. If he's going to be hacking the kernel, then it will help to learn to build it. [22:52] jrtayloriv, very true [22:52] jrkoffjonson__, I agree with pfifo. Do LFS [22:52] jrkoffjonson__, You are correct that it is a skill worth learning, and just determining what the options mean in menuconfig will teach you a lot about linux and your hardware [22:52] jrkoffjonson__, you will learn alot more about linux in general [22:52] (assuming you actually read about them to find out what they mean) [22:53] haha, well I plan on learning as much as I can :] [22:53] the premise that you learn a lot about linux by "doing LFS" is completely unfounded === rcmaehl_fallback is now known as rcmaehl [22:53] learn C++ and SysV IPC [22:53] if you want to learn linux that is [22:53] planning on grabbing a few books on linux and unix and c/c++ [22:54] abstrakt: the same aplies about recompiling the kernel :) [22:54] that is.. after I master java..eclipse and the android SDK -.- === MrUnagi__ is now known as MrUnagi [22:54] jrkoffjonson__: android is programmed in java. so it is java what you should learn .... [22:54] aye, and I have a nice thick book on java right next to me lol [22:54] actually really you should learn C (not C++) and sysv ipc [22:55] again, if linux knowlege is what you're after [22:55] LFS does nothing to explain what those tools are, what they do, why you're building them, why you're building them in that order, etc, how they work together [22:55] mhm, i plan on getting a nice basic knowledge into most programming languages.. but I'd like to be an android dev eventually. [22:55] it's like saying that you know chemistry because you can follow a recipe to bake cookies [22:55] abstrakt, Perhaps they believe that people will read other things to find out, rather than assuming they have to explain it all themselveS? [22:56] jrtayloriv, I 99% guarantee any n00b that tries to do LFS ain't gonna go read other thingsn to "find out" [22:56] they'll just go all gentoo and be like "om, i luv rice!" [22:57] lmfao [22:57] abstrakt, it explains some of what you said, atleast in the build order part. [22:57] pfifo, but again, it's still like saying that you know chemistry after you successfully baked some cookies [22:57] abstrakt, Well, if they refuse to read, then I suppose that nothing will help them will it? [22:57] and I 99% guarantee that most people who "do LFS" do NOT remember "the recipe" after they're done [22:57] whelp, I think the best thing I can do for now since I spent so much time already setting up ubuntu is just lurk the ubuntu site and grab some books on linux and unix [22:58] abstrakt, baking cookies is a good starting point to learning chemistry [22:58] jrkoffjonson__, meh, i wouldn't bother with "books on linux", except for if you want to learn sysv ipc [22:58] abstrakt, But honestly, I don't believe you that nobody reads. I'm pretty sure that some of the people who know a lot about Linux started out without knowing a lot. And I bet that a few of them did some reading. [22:59] And it sounds like jrkoffjonson__ is willing to read to learn how things work. So perhaps assuming that he'll read isn't such a silly idea after all. [22:59] jrkoffjonson__, if you really want to learn linux/unix, learn bash and c [22:59] abstrakt, I want them mainly for a nice reference tool. Unless I can find a few good updated digital copies to throw on my tab.. [22:59] abstrakt, I am sure that people who don't read don't normally finish [22:59] jrtayloriv, compared to other things you could be learning about linux, LFS is a waste of time IMO [22:59] jrtayloriv: that's not how it works... you go to sleep one night and Dennis Ritchie and Kernnigan appear on your dreams and you wake up knowing everything... XXDD [22:59] abstrakt, LFS is a learning tool. Just as compiling a kernel is [23:00] abstrakt, You can't seem to make up your mind what he should learn. So maybe you should take a moment to figure that out. First it was "C++ and IPC", now it's "Bash and C". [23:00] lfs teaches how distros work, it's a good idea for sysadmins, but got nothing to do with programming and kernel hacking [23:00] abstrakt, But in reality, there are a lot of things he should learn, and he should pick one that interests him. [23:00] giff, correct [23:00] abstrakt, sounds good to me! I dipped a bit into c# when I was younger but since then that information has completely slipped my mind [23:01] jrtayloriv, they all interest me haha. Just picking one right now is the issue. I think I may just take it one step at a time and stick with my java and learning how linux works before I take another huge leap into the unkown [23:02] jrkoffjonson__, hey, go /join #bash [23:02] jrkoffjonson__, That's a good idea. There's no "right" place to start. [23:02] hi upgraded to the latest ubuntu release recently, and noticed that the "screen" program doesn't have the same configuration [23:02] jrkoffjonson__, i'm in there, i can give you a little direction if you're interested [23:02] is there any way to get it back? [23:02] !ff4 [23:02] Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [23:03] abstrakt, just joined. I'll be on there in a bit- just have a few things to finish up here and a little bit of reading. [23:03] meh [23:03] yay copypasta didn't feel like typing my command again [23:03] Thanks for the input everyone! Chat later- hopefully wont bash my head against my keyboard anytime soon xD [23:05] ganjanaut, it might have made a back up, look for a similiar name such as screen.conf.old... failing that, its probbally gone for good [23:05] So, I am having a problem with gtk-recordmydesktop, the video is speeding up and finishes before the audio. [23:05] anyone ever boot from usb on windows7? [23:05] I get no BIOS screen at the beginning [23:05] fennucci, you don't even get a splash screen on where you can enter the bios with? [23:06] no [23:06] just boots as normal [23:06] bt4 btw [23:06] windows 7 [23:06] fennucci: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:06] pfifo: it was the default config that came with ubuntu, it looks like the default has changed :-/ [23:06] Hi, Anyone know how I can get weather in the notification are using Unity? [23:06] fennucci, Generally you press one of the F-keys to get to it (try F2, F5, or F10) [23:07] ganjanaut, in that case, you can look in the repo's they keep archived files for old versions of packages [23:07] What is your computer model fennucci? [23:08] alright thx [23:09] JonathanD, [23:09] hp g60 === Wicet2 is now known as Wicet [23:09] I'm trying to install a 32-bit Ubuntu guest in qemu (on an Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 host without AMD-V capability). It's stalling (blank blue screen) right after "Downloading release files" reaches 100%. Anyone know how I could debug this? [23:09] .. [23:09] ##windows [23:10] Crap I lost my power icon [23:11] DakotaRX7, thats funny I lost mine the other day... [23:11] I cant put it bacj on [23:11] back [23:11] DakotaRX7, I could [23:11] How [23:11] hey, folks. I run a dual-boot Ubuntu/Win7 configuration. Somehow, after booting off a LiveCD, Win7 no longer shows up on GRUB. Any advice on how to get it back? [23:12] Find a windows iso [23:12] DakotaRX7, right click the panel and 'add to panel' then add 'shutdown' [23:12] uh okay [23:13] wait wouldnt that just add a shutdown Button [23:13] is there a portable keypassword manager?? [23:13] DakotaRX7, afterward youll have todo a bunch of unlocking and moving, it was a real pain [23:13] DakotaRX7, no, its what you expect, pops up a suthdown/restart dialog [23:13] pififo, Ill find out later [23:14] i lost windows due to f'in pop unders [23:14] hello, is there any good feed reader for ubuntu you'd recommend? Thanks [23:15] when I plug in my htc Android phone and select on it to mount it was a disk drive, Ubuntu recognizes it as an 8GB storage device but nothing happens when I right click it and select mount [23:15] I can't seem to do anything with it from the GUI [23:15] lduros, Firefox has a rss in it [23:15] DakotaRX7: True true, thanks [23:16] sigh .... I am about to give up trying to install ubuntu through wubi on HP elitebook 8440p. the installation process never get far and stopped with the following error. " (initramfs) /scripts/casper-premount/20iso scan: line 46: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found " I have been googling the whole afternoon. I notice that the installation iso is on the windows file system and yet it is complaining about the /dev/sr0 [23:16] How do I change the name of the ubuntu OS I am running? [23:16] I want to rename it to Ubuntu Aero Edition [23:16] Aunn, You need Easy BCD for windows to change the os's name [23:16] can I manually install a newer version of the linux kernel? [23:17] nerdshell: yes [23:17] rcmaehl: isn't it dangerous ? [23:17] nerdshell: depends on the kernel [23:18] password manager wich can work on Ubuntu and MS [23:18] rcmaehl: it's a stable one , but Canonical didn't finish checking it... [23:18] Commands to find out what video driver is in use? [23:19] rcmaehl: "grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" may give a clue [23:19] rcmaehl: e.g : 2.6.38.2 is stable, but still not available in package manager [23:20] ohhh [23:20] DakotaRX7 I don't think that it has anything to do with the bootloader, windows mbr works fine and it takes me to the linux grub boot loader, then again, I don't know much, enlighten me ... [23:21] nerdshell: idk then [23:21] hello, can any linux guru help me plz [23:21] !ask | kr4zy10 [23:21] kr4zy10: 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. :-) [23:23] !ask when i try to install ubuntu i get the following error "no root file system is defined. please correct this from the partiioning menu" [23:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:23] when i try to install ubuntu i get the following error "no root file system is defined. please correct this from the partiioning menu" [23:23] whats the easiest way to take audio from the soundcard (/dev/audio?) and video from the webcam (/dev/video0?) and put it in one single .mpg file? [23:23] cheese takes its audio from the webcam's internal microphone [23:24] which sucks [23:24] gsfai, ffmpeg should do that [23:24] (and would be the 'easiest' for me) [23:26] kr4zy10: you did manual partitioning? [23:26] * gsfai was hoping VLC could make it [23:27] erUSUL: i am using the option erase ubuntu and install [23:27] how is dmidecode different from lshw? [23:27] gsfai, then check VLC support channels, they might have application specific info for you [23:28] rcmaehl: is specific to motherboard info provided by dmi of the bios [23:28] rcmaehl: lshw lists all hardware known to the kernel- [23:28] ah [23:29] rcmaehl: dmidecode + lspci + lsusb more or less equal to lshw [23:32] is there anyone who know how to convert "rtsp" live link to "wmv or mms" [23:32] any help will be appriciated [23:32] what is a better option for audio on ubuntu 10.10? alsa or pulseaudio ? i'm only going to be using it for things like skype and listening to music [23:32] so after reinstalling ubuntu...but keeping my /home....when i goto start evolution email client...it prompts me to readd an account...but my ~/.evolution folder is still intact and everything is there. [23:32] aruns: pulseaudio [23:34] Wicked, I think there's an import option you have to use [23:34] hmm [23:34] JanKinz: you can try transmageddon video transcoder [23:34] erUSUL, for some reason my mic does not work with the default pulse audio setup. any thing i'm finding online is talking about configuration for alsa. any idea on how to troubleshoot pulse ? [23:35] !evolution [23:35] aruns: pulse works on top of alsa. so you can first see if alsa is seeing the mic etc and then check the pulseaudio side [23:35] hey, what is this button state called? http://i.imgur.com/y5m7J.png [23:36] bob__: thanks will give a shot [23:36] i just tried recording using arecord and played back with aplay. the volume is faint but it was recording [23:37] aruns: check "alsamixer" volume settings? [23:37] anyone know how i do a regex in apache? [23:38] erUSUL, running alsamixer gives me an error - cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument. tried running it as alsamixer and alsamixer -c 0 [23:38] philipp_: huh? [23:38] philipp_, the people in #httpd probably do [23:38] philipp_, most likely with mod_rewrite is my guess [23:38] if someone requests mystile.css i wanna redirect it to mystile.php [23:38] how do i get that mod? [23:38] ahh [23:38] erUSUL, i only have the built in sound card on my motherboard - Asus m4a88t-m LE, its a realtek ALC 888 card [23:38] philipp_, sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart [23:38] I wish driver companies could just distribute binaries for installers [23:39] instead of making me get all of these dependencies [23:39] aruns: try this « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » and reboot [23:39] there's something ironic here: I need to get packages from the internet to install an ethernet card driver [23:39] aruns: that will install newer audio drivers. it may help and in any case it does not hurt and ie easily reverted ;P [23:39] can you tell me how i get mod_rewrite? [23:39] erUSUL, with the >> at the end ? [23:40] aruns: no the « » are fancy quotes [23:40] SirTopHat, that's the problem of your hardware manufacturer who hasn't opened the specs so that drivers could be written [23:40] oh you did [23:40] sry... [23:40] oh sorry didnt see the ones in the beginning ok trying it [23:40] SirTopHat: what ethernet card? [23:41] Intel 82562EZ [23:41] I might just have to look harder [23:41] okey i enabled the module... how to specify a link who shall be rewritten? [23:42] I took the HD out of an older PC and put it in this newer one that the HD to broke, everything is running perfectly on it except the absent drivers for the ethernet card [23:42] SirTopHat: should work with provided e100 driver; shouldn't it? [23:42] okey i enabled the module... how to specify a link who shall be rewritten? [23:42] SirTopHat: try « sudo modprobe e100 » [23:42] well, /etc/init.d/networking restart fails [23:42] ok [23:42] how do i use it!!!! >< [23:43] philipp_: ask in #httpd [23:43] i have no voice there -.- [23:43] philipp_: or read the docs in apache website [23:43] howam i supposed to ask? [23:43] philipp_, ask google how to use mod_rewrite [23:43] erUSUL, that command didn't give any errors, but /etc/init.d/networking restart still fails to bring up eth0 [23:44] SirTopHat: "ifconfig -a" shows a eth0 interface [23:44] hi, do I need some extra hardware if I want to transform my laptop into an access-point for my android phone? [23:44] ? [23:44] no, but there's an eth1 [23:44] I guess that's the problem [23:46] SirTopHat: edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [23:46] Does anyone know why my USB drive disappears from the bootmenu under HDD's and becomes availaable as USB-HDD instead after setting it up with startup disk creator? also, when i select this stick it tells me "Boot error", can't find anything of what can be wrong with it [23:46] heh, at the same time I read that on google [23:46] thanks 8) [23:46] omglolbbq, are you using fat32 or ext2/3 [23:46] i tried FAT and NTFS === ninline is now known as coldfire [23:47] omglolbbq, I get similiar behavior depending on what filesystem it has on it [23:47] what is the microphone's device file name? [23:47] when i completely wipe the drive it shows up again in the bootmenu under HDD's as usb flash drive 2.0, but when i make it with disk creator on either filesystem it disapears [23:47] or rather, how can i get it? [23:49] anyone have trouble with firefox 4 and flash? theres lots of weird flickering and white blocks [23:49] omglolbbq, then it is really pointing to the same type of situation, the bios can determine the filesystem and uses this information in deciding where to list it in the boot menu [23:49] okey google dont tells me [23:49] erUSUL, I did what this page said, "Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and delete the line that specifies eth0 and change eth1 to eth0 in the other line" [23:50] so how do i use that damn module? [23:50] but I still get the No such device erorrs [23:50] errors* [23:50] on /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:50] pfifo, i think it's not just the filesystem [23:50] eh, trying a reboot [23:51] i tried formatting the drive myself manualy fat, it still shows correctly then [23:51] hello guys [23:51] where can i edit my mod_rewrite? [23:51] i need assistance with my tap0 interface [23:52] cool, worked [23:52] omglolbbq, what exactly is core issue here? Trying to boot a USB to install/recover ubuntu? [23:52] how come I'm missing Hardware Drivers in this menu? http://i.imgur.com/c6Ct9.png [23:52] i can't ping what ever is connected to my tap0 [23:53] pfifo, yes, it gives "boot error". the fact that i notice it changes position from the boot selection menu might be a hint to whats going on i think [23:53] omglolbbq, do you have access to a linux system? [23:53] Broseph: I believe it only shows up if you have hardware that uses proprietary drivers. hardware drivers is really a bad name. It should be 'proprietary hardware drivers' [23:54] edbian: any way to force it to show up? I've got something that I believe should be using proprietary drivers (wlan card) [23:54] so guys i ve been searching high and low to see why i can't ping f0/0 in RouterD can someone please assist me...this is driving me crazy http://www.screencast.com/users/i3igmind/folders/Jing/media/5b414831-3711-4e15-807f-7610ea8ce8b9 [23:54] i do [23:54] nobody? wow! [23:54] Broseph: I can get the wireless card working. How does that sound? What chipset is it? broadcom 43xx ? [23:55] 4318 [23:55] ubuntu server 10.10 [23:55] Broseph: Can you pastebin the output of dmesg for me? [23:55] omglolbbq, Ok, then i recommend, formating the drive as ext2 and installing grub2 on it, then you can use the "boot from iso" feature of grub2 to get into a livecd session [23:55] hi, i have trouble with firefox 4 and flash-- theres lots of weird flickering and white blocks and bad mouse interactiveness, any ideas? [23:55] Hi, Anyone here running 11.04 and have tried to add Google address book to Evolution? I keep getting an error. [23:55] Ubuntu server might be the reason that hardware drivers is missing. Is this in a virtual machine? The screenshot implies so [23:56] ceed^: #ubuntu+1 [23:56] pfifo, would this also work with alternate iso? [23:56] omglolbbq, yes it works with all flavors of ubuntu [23:56] ceed^, use thunderbird instead :) [23:56] nice :) [23:56] i'll try that [23:56] iceroot: sorry (new here) [23:57] abstrakt: doesn't work with our corporate groupware [23:57] omglolbbq, but one thing you should be aware of is if you use a different iso, sometimes it will default to dutch or german thanks to our debian heritage. [23:57] ceed^: what groupware is not working with thunderbird? [23:57] whoever it was that was helping me, after installing the generic drivers and rebooting, my x-windows wont start. it says my nvidia modules could not be found [23:58] edbian: http://pastebin.com/7a4DkXC2, it's not VM, just a headless laptop, I was trying to do everything in the CLI but I installed Gnome just for this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:58] iceroot: It's one developed internally. Works with Evolution but not with TB currently [23:58] hm thats ok i gues [23:58] ceed^: hm ok, never had big problems with thunderbird and different groupwares (zarafa, kolab, ox) [23:58] Broseph: Is the ubuntu machine connected to the internet? [23:59] omglolbbq, if it happens, you can google for the bootline command to change the language (i think it was LANG=enUS) [23:59] edbian: yes it is, through ethernet [23:59] well first i have to figure out how to get grub2 on it :) [23:59] Broseph: run this: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [23:59] already did [23:59] Broseph: That package installs the proprietary firmware used on your card.
