[00:11] Roasted__: no [00:11] murielgodoi: hm, good question... [00:11] Roasted__: you need to install ntp. [00:11] Roasted__: go system admin time & date ;) [00:11] easy to install and configure [00:11] say i have a monitor arrangement like this : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/361832/ is there any way i can stop the cursor from reaching the place with the x? it is annoying as hell how it goes off the screen [00:11] rcconf, I'm having some time issues with my thin clients using LTSP and Edubuntu 10.10.

[00:12] rcconf, you would think, but like I said, running thin clients. Our setup is a bit different as a result. [00:12] Roasted__: do it using gui it's easy. you just need to add the NTP address to the list and check it. [00:13] it will ask you to install ntp [00:13] after that you can purge ntpdate. [00:13] rcconf, It's a bit more complicated than that, as my thin client image has no GUI. [00:13] rcconf, so I need to do it via terminal. [00:13] Roasted__: i know how to do it. [00:13] easy [00:13] Roasted__: sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf [00:14] Roasted__: first install it sudo apt-get install ntp [00:14] then [00:14] * drc does so look forward to Roasted__'s daily questions :) [00:14] Roasted__: sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf and add you add line in the end "server ntp-address" [00:14] without " [00:14] good deal === jamiep is now known as zeroelixis [00:14] thanks bro [00:14] then you sudo service ntp restart [00:14] Where to change some FLAGS to build a ubuntu pachage?

(i tried 4 disc) [00:59] (b1lly): lol, I think the user and permission is error in there somewhere [00:59] no tbruff13 as port 80 is universal [01:00] Mad_HaTTer, ok so whats the issue [01:00] littlebearz1: wont even connect to fpt.domain.com problem loading page [01:00] (b1lly): if u get too fed up, use a windows and use filezilla server for a temporarily solution, though I don't recommend it [01:00] usually it just promps for username pw [01:00] <[snake]> apple is second in line when it comes to retarded companies -_- [01:00] either I gotta recompile the kernel and still have it be updated properly with respect to dependencies, or I have to yet again, go and do something silly like change to a rolling release distro? surely not :/ blah [01:00] how do I scale the CPU to performance in Ubuntu netbook edition? [01:00] 3rd, when I start mine [snake] [01:00] How can I go back to the default ubuntu thingy, I did "sudo apt-get install unity" and now my desktop is un-usable, I have it set up to not ask for password upon startup, so I can't select session [01:00] (b1lly): what are u using? [01:00] im literally gonna call it 'retard computers.com' [01:01] Is there a CLI way that I can do it from the recovery console, or am I going to have to reinstall? [01:01] <[snake]> micca, lol :) [01:01] with the motto: as slow as it gets! [01:01] (micca): i think that domain is taken [01:01] hilarie, sudo apt-get remove --purge unity [01:01] <[snake]> micca, you aren't going to be worse than microsuck [01:01] my dvd drive still says that it has a disk in it, it has been replaced with a empty one. (i tried 4 disc) ideas? [01:01] prolly littlebearz1 , you would know better than I [01:01] <[snake]> are you? [01:01] tbruff13 ty [01:01] no true [01:01] like i said 1 of those 3 you ruled out one but still need to check your using the right encryption for the network and the right keboard layout for the computer your on [01:01] apache2 php mysql and ffmpeg atm [01:01] but thats why I implied 2nd , not 1st [01:01] oh and vsftpd [01:02] hilarie, sudo apt-get remove --purge unity double -- intended? [01:02] but still.. can someone tell me,.. can i recompile our ubu kernel and keep it in the dependencies [01:02] ? [01:02] (b1lly): so you have a problem with permission or you can't connect at all? [01:02] both [01:02] <[snake]> micca, from my position it could have been 2nd or first, because you were simply moving apple to 3rd. [01:02] (b1lly): with connection it's your vspfd configuration and with user that's just with permission error === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:02] !misspelling | [snake] [01:02] [snake]: Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable. [01:02] true [snake] but 'retard computers.com' barely gonna become company #1 in profits, now is it? ;) [01:02] i tryd to setup a pam and it wont connect at all anymore [01:02] <[snake]> micca, did you ever hear of gentoo. [01:02] are they using a certificate billy? [01:03] Mad_HaTTer: may I PM you? [01:03] hilarie, try sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude remove --purge unity [01:03] yes [01:03] <[snake]> Logan_, what did I misspell? [01:03] Mad_HaTTer, any ideas [01:03] (Mad_HaTTer): I'm guessing he's using a SSL [01:03] <[snake]> micca, ;) [01:03] [snake]: "microsuck" [01:03] Mad_HaTTer, im in a high school by the way [01:03] kk ty [01:03] snake, .. ye I went to arch just cos of having some power saving option after it semed so 'ooooh, naughty biy' when compiling my own kernel.. but that was the git upstream klernel.. im asking if i can recompile the ubuntu kernel yes.. or no [01:04] <[snake]> Logan_, oh, sorry, i see. [01:04] and let it be someone else than [snake] ANSWERING ;) [01:04] <[snake]> Microsoft* [01:04] brb [01:04] yeah probally littlebear [01:05] (Mad_HaTTer): they should make a simpler solution xd [01:05] there is nothing more annoying than asking something about ubuntu, and hearing hey , how about gentoo [01:05] ok ill go to off topic since my quesiton is obviously not a n ubuntu quetion then [01:05] (Mad_HaTTer): I recall someone write a script for ssl generation and self signing [01:05] so littlebear are you english as the name implies? [01:05] <[snake]> Yeah so the reason I started on hating apple is because, Shake cost 400 for there computers but 5000 for linux. -_- and you can't import video with linux into shake. [01:05] yes, of course you can selg sign yourcertificate [01:05] sno problem [01:05] no* [01:05] (Mad_HaTTer): am I english?, bloody no [01:05] both with openssl [01:06] you probably, ain't mate [01:06] but tI g7uess that ain't your fault, but your parents [01:06] xx [01:06] micca: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:06] Maybe you could just kill me now, How do I connect to wifi via CLI from the recovery console? [01:06] (Mad_HaTTer): it's just like a nick I have since I couldn't register the domain name [01:06] hello [01:06] (hilarie): ifconfig wlan0 up [01:06] <[snake]> hilarie, service networking start [01:07] yeah i write my own certificates what a painb that is [01:07] hilarie, ooo from the recovery console.. tough one... especially on wifi.. but there you go, littlebearz1 seemed ot make it less bad ;p [01:07] (hilarie): iwconfig --essid xxxxx [01:07] has anyone succesfully installed the 64 bit flash plugin for firefox 4? [01:07] Mad_HaTTer, any other ideas [01:07] <[snake]> hilarie, mine might not work as I am thinking of another distro entirely. [01:07] (hilarie): or something along that lines, I usually go for man iwconfig and check the manual [01:07] hilarie, this page has answers to most wifi questions in ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:08] littlebearz1, if I recompile the current stable ubu kernel, can I keep it on the dependencies? I presume yes, but just double checking? [01:08] !pinning | micca [01:08] micca: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [01:08] greetings. having issues with flash on my web browser [01:08] thanks genii-around [01:09] hello I have an acer aspire one and just installed 10.10 netbook via wubi only problem is there is no wireless driver installed, anyone know what to do? [01:09] johnwedd: be more specific, please [01:09] (micca): I have no clue about that xd [01:09] to send a kill SIGTERm via terminal is it like this: kill -15 PID [01:09] (searayman): I thought it was pkill -pid xxx [01:09] use pkill [01:09] has anyone succesfully installed the 64 bit flash plugin for firefox 4? [01:09] yes tbruff13 find out the encryption method and make sure your using the same in ubuntu weather aes or psk psk2 and check your keyboard layout in ubuntu weather us or us-init and that it mathes the kbd on the computer your on' [01:09] littlebearz1: whats the difference [01:10] (hilarie): and if u're too lazy to type that ubuntu docs it's linked as http://u.xxw.ca/wifi [01:10] (searayman): pkill is better though I can't explain it [01:10] littlebearz1 I am going through it now [01:10] (searayman): I think it does a deep aka better job than kill ? [01:10] hmm not sure if pinning is quite it though genii-around . I was more wondering if I lose that right of 'support' etc, and* lose dependencies if I recompile the current ubuntu kernel I am using to include cpu freq scaling support as an example? [01:10] quant, the flash plugin either comes up as crashed or as wrong version, i have updated uninstalled, reinstalled [01:11] (johnwedd): sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree [01:11] johnwedd: are you using gnash or the proprietary flash? [01:11] use killall if you want to kill a bunch of processes at once [01:11] FYI if you ever have unity installed, and type sudo apt-get remove --purge unity when you boot back into ubuntu, you will get a white screen [01:11] johnwedd: also what version of ubuntu [01:11] (hilarie): ouch [01:11] does that package even exist littlebearz1 ? [01:12] littlebearz1: but hypotheticly would kill -15 PID work for sending the SIGTERM signal? [01:12] 10.10, and proprietary [01:12] (searayman): yeah, it's harder to remember [01:12] hehe hilarie [01:12] johnwedd: any particular page on which it crashes or just any page? [01:12] (searayman): cause pkill I remember as process kill [01:12] quant, all [01:12] hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04 and making regular backups with ubuntu's simple backup restore utility. if i buy a new desktop and insatll ubuntu 10.10 is it possible to use my backup files make an exact image of my current desktop? [01:12] micca: We cannot of course support a custom compiled kernel if you experience problems as a result. [01:13] johnwedd: remove it and install again, that's what I'd do [01:13] littlebearz1: i am just checkign if i am doing somethign right i learned in class, were learnign how to kill things with different things and have to send different signals to a program and write wht happens [01:13] johnwedd: be sure to have browser closed while doing it [01:13] prop [01:13] aaron_c: I would reccomend a clean install rather than an image, because hardware is going to be different. [01:13] (searayman): neat class xd [01:13] fair enough, but with the cpu frequency scaling pu tin there (as I really will save energy on it).. will at least I be able to re-introduce it to the dependencies so to speakl? [01:13] littlebearz1: i hte the class... [01:14] (searayman): lol, ignore my last comment then [01:14] <[snake]> well screw linux, I have a mac laying around somewhere... It's just sad that apple had to make me say that. :(( [01:14] not getting support cos I need the energy saving is the same as going to a rollign releas I guess... and I like ubu ffs.. so but *dependency reliability* for me is the main issue! [01:14] <[snake]> pardon my language, I keep on forgetting this is a support channel... [01:15] (searayman): i would personally write a script that open a process a million times and kill it in a different times and capturing the output [01:15] DrFalcon: i see, ok. but if my current desktop completely, and i just get a new hard drive, i shoudl be able to make an exact copy with my backup files right? [01:15] *completly crashes [01:15] (micca): I think archlinux does a good job at kernel tweaking [01:15] (micca): I meant their channel [01:16] aaron_c: If you are just changing your hard drive and nothing else, a disk image would work fine. But if you plan on moving your OS to a new machine, bad idea, imo. [01:16] ye I tried it, due to thie very issue a month ago.. but then lol i tjust gets worse and worse and worse and in the end.. I kind of realise.. look, I want ubus stability and all.. and *all* I want is to be bl e to set my frequencies dfown when idling lol [01:16] DrFalcon: gotcha. and buy disk image, that's what ubuntu's built-in "Simple Backup Restore" utility does, right? [01:16] *by [01:17] <_GhouL_> greetings everybody. do you know an open source alternative to Proteus isis (proteus is a software for electronics to create,simulate and generate pcbs on windows)? [01:17] which is when I felt ubu is like MS in being, and arch just promising too much reliability on their system (as their AUR or testing section, wasn't as developed as I expected) [01:17] (aaron_c): if u want exact, and have the same hardware, use dd -if xxx -of xxx [01:17] aaron_c: I've never used that utility, so I don't know. [01:17] best backup utility ever [01:17] dd [01:17] DrFalcon: ok. thanks for your help! === derp is now known as Austin_Powers [01:17] Hey guys, asking in both #synergy and #ubuntu. I want to allow Synergy to continue running from a host machine accross all users using that machine, even Guest. Any ideas? [01:17] (micca): arch isn't reliable when you start to mess around with the core xd [01:17] o oki'll look into dd [01:18] ye, but even on a rollign release, see what i mean [01:18] aaron_c: As someone else said, use DD to make a disk image, otherwise just copy files. I suggest rsync for file-level backups, because it won't do the whole thing over on backups subsequent to the first one. [01:18] how , in this day an dage can it beso hard to get some scalin gsigh [01:18] I mean, moving to gentoo JUST for that is a bit harsh :) [01:18] (aaron_c): btw, if u do rsync don't forgot the -r , so all subdirectories and files are copied as well [01:18] is there a way to make a list of pakcages i have insatlled on my 10.04 desktop, so i can reinstall all the same ones on 10.10 on my new desktop? [01:18] <[snake]> micca, i think there is a project for compiling a custom ubuntu kernel actually [01:19] ye, I had to recompoile their kernel too, then recompile the catalyst drivers, which in trun made KDE leak on ATI and just BLAH :p [01:19] (aaron_c): I lost like LOADS of file just because forgot -r command in rsync [01:19] lsapt > blah.txt or something like that? [01:19] <[snake]> micca, my friend was doing that once. [01:19] [snake], there is.. and tbh , arch was not what I thought, ubu I ve liked now for yrs and Im about to actually start a company (i wsn't kidding, only the name ;p) so gonna run I think ubu servers or debian plus ubu workstations but I need this scaling crap [01:19] a few days ago i wanted to install an app on a semi-public pc [01:19] aaron_c: "dpkg --list" lists all installed packages. [01:19] however i got some kinda of message that there are no installed assets of something [01:20] does it resemble anything to you? [01:20] ye snake I coompiled it not so long ago, but wasn't sure about dependencies.. for me I have to be able to re-inject that kernel into my apt-get/dpkg rather.. and if does that5, Im happy [01:20] <[snake]> micca, what will your company name be? === Austin_Powers is now known as derp [01:20] DrFalcon: ah ok. is there a way to import a text file int apt-get install? [01:21] so that i can take the log of dpkg --list and install verything with one command? [01:21] I am registering as a sole proprietor/trader under m name, the 'branches' are 3 different ones, so will have differen tnames.. here in HOlland for now.. nevermind.. in case I end up a total failure with what I will be doing ;) [01:21] :) [01:21] I'll le tyou know though if it goes well.. it starts in August [01:21] aaron_c: this thread explains the process: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/%5Baptitude%5D-how-to-get-a-list-of-all-installed-packages-458119/ [01:22] aaron_c: There is no one-step process, but it's not that involved. [01:22] how come even though I have ownership root root on a file and -rwx-r-x-r-x permissions a user called 'nick' can overwrite the file using vim? [01:22] DrFalcon: cool, thanks! [01:22] l!nuxman, using wim? [01:22] from inside windows environnment? [01:23] ok i know dumb question but been awhile since I hae needed this but how do i find the ip of my router? [01:23] gateway [01:23] ipconfig (the look for the gatway) [01:24] Tempus_Fugit: "wget -O - -q icanhazip.com" at console [01:24] can any jew here answer my question? [01:24] wim can format windows partition types.. so if your file is owned by root on a ntfs/fat volume and you use wim to apply to a drive say, you are effectively just blanking that disk, not to mention 'root' will still be on a windows ppartition able to be audited to a new owner by a win admin or is this some other wim?> [01:24] Poisonfirbe: needs an argument [01:24] sorry wim can't but the wimgapi.dll can i meant [01:24] when applying a wim file [01:25] fd [01:25] adelle25566, some jew? u might be 14 u f** little cjimp of a child but go to your parents and tell them to give u a smack and teach u hwo to be smart [01:26] ^^ [01:26] ok ifconfig worked [01:26] ty [01:26] it is appalling the amount of kids today which make so many parents look as the tards they are [01:26] ;) [01:26] micca: wrong. i am 24 [01:27] oh yea, thats correct....i gave the windows command....fml [01:27] and u go crying 'jew' in a support channel? my god.. what are you .. form michigan? [01:27] is this a technical, or discussion room [01:27] or, combo thereof [01:27] definitely an american and very sad indeed [01:27] micca, adelle25566: Stop it. [01:27] * joshmc seconds kitty0230 [01:27] micca: don't feed the troll [01:27] micca: also, i wonder what kind of man you are, if you are pissed off because some called you a jew. why do you take this as insult? [01:27] Don't feed the trolls please. [01:27] no true gordonjcp [01:27] kitty0230: Theoretically, it's a technical support channel. === ninline is now known as coldfire [01:28] askhad [01:28] What did I just walk into?

If you want to try it, go ahead but good luck! [01:32] i just want my pc to work [01:32] !language | hilarie [01:32] hilarie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:32] What is wrong with Unity? [01:32] I ask that having never used it. [01:32] adelle25566: then you should try ##windows instead of here. [01:32] Hodapp: I find it pretty hard to use [01:32] It exploded my laptop [01:32] joshmc, hilarie , the problem is the unity package provided with 10.10 is an old package. I want to try the latest version [01:32] but I can't find a package anywhere [01:32] Hodapp: there's no taskbar along the bottom, just a bar of little squares down the left [01:33] With all due respect to the Ubuntu devs, Unity isn't ready for primetime yet, imho. [01:33] rww: as i said above, i had a problem with semi-public machine with linux (which is obvious) [01:33] so you can't tell what applications have windows open [01:33] maxo: could you update via ppa? I tried it once and I think that's how I tried it. [01:33] maxo: There is no backport of the current Unity development version to Ubuntu 10.10. The relevant people decided that making one would take too long and take too much time from actually developing Unity. [01:33] Hodapp: the thing that's giving me problems right now is the drop-shadows around all the windows [01:33] joshmc, hmmm, yes I couldn't find a ppa [01:33] Hodapp: they make it totally unusable [01:33] hmmm [01:33] gnome 3 looks really bad though [01:34] unity looks a lot better [01:34] in gnome 3, they've even removed the maximise and minimize window buttons [01:34] so if anyone cares to help me get rid of the eyestrain-inducing drop shadows, it would be much appreciated [01:34] adelle25566:you have a problem with linux? [01:34] adelle25566: I too run windows...in a virtualbox environment....it's wonderful. Everytime it gets screwed I can just start it again. Foolproof windows...I can't think why anyone would do it any other way. [01:35] I am having trouble with adding tomboy notes to panel, it is giving me a error, can anyone help me? [01:35] I also run Windows in VirtualBox, but there are plenty of things that I think I'd rather run natively. [01:35] I was not happy with Unity at first - now that I have given it a chance I like it more and more - more OSX like than Windows like always wins me over [01:35] its a better flow [01:35] gordonjcp: compizconfig settings manager, window decorations plugin, configure the shadows [01:36] trism: that just crashes compiz [01:36] gordonjcp: then you have other issues [01:36] Emulation of OS is only useful if your trying to run something old [01:36] markrmiller: I find OSX totally unusable [01:36] Does Unity require compositing to be on in order to run? [01:36] Hodapp:I had to come up with something, this laptop wont support XP and my programmer for my race car has to use XP. VB to the rescue. I have linux stability to boot! [01:36] OSx if fancier than Ubuntu, but yeh it sucks [01:37] I really hate the "menu bar at the top of the screen" thing [01:37] maxo: having used gnome3 I find it about %4-%10 more effective than unity, but that is just my opinion ;) also, I googled unity and ppa and it came up with the ubuntu netbook edition stuff. That might help! [01:37] it was a good idea in single-tasking versions of Mac OS, like System 6 [01:37] I find OS X plenty usable and streamlined for me, although for some things I really prefer Linux. [01:37] DrFalcon, I think there's a '2d' version [01:37] gordonjcp: sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu; restart your session [01:37] gordonjcp, also, you can go into gconf /apps/compiz/plugins/decoration/allscreens/options [01:37] I thought the same until i started using it for a while [01:37] I am having trouble with adding tomboy notes to panel, it is giving me a error, can anyone help me? [01:37] so... as root, I booted into gnome (I think) by typing in startx as root in recovery console, and I now have wifi, how would I go about makinng gnome3 my default GUI thingy? [01:37] Acid190: a few days ago i wanted to install an app on a semi-public pc. however i got some kinda of message that there are no installed assets of something. does it resemble you something? [01:37] coz_: I don't have that [01:37] joshmc: I found a ppa but it was empty, I'll have another look [01:37] maxo: (that is, I found the ppa for 'unity' as une) [01:37] does gnome3 comes with ubuntu? [01:37] coldfire: my 7 doesn't get screwed [01:37] ok heres another ?......if I set up a router on windows and try to access it in linux it should still work right...I need to get to the admin page to fix some things [01:38] gordonjcp, ah ok ,, kde? [01:38] adelle25566:don't use it much, eh? [01:38] (Don't know if its gnome3 I want, I want w/e the default ubuntu 10.10 ships with [01:38] coz_: /apps/compiz-1/plugins/decor/screen0/options is as close as it gets [01:38] coz_: and it seems to have no effect [01:38] gordonjcp, which version of compiz ? [01:38] no idea, it's the first time I've tried compiz [01:38] I reckon one of these days I shall have to install modern Ubuntu on modern hardware. [01:38] Tempus_Fugit: your router shouldn't care what OS you are using. Just go to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. For 99% of routers, this will work. [01:38] coz_: whatever is in natty [01:39] joshmc, I think I came across that earlier, is it - https://launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une ? it seems to just be a few packages from last year but no unity package [01:39] gordonjcp, oh natty [01:39] Today I did modern Ubuntu on dumpster hardware because my roommate needed something she could use. [01:39] coldfire: what? windows? i just want this to work [01:39] coz_: 0.9.4.0 apparently [01:39] DrFalcon: ok ty [01:39] maxo: might be the case... in which case I'll neglect to try and help much more as I am being less than helpful =S [01:39] gordonjcp, ah that may be different let me check my natty machine hold on [01:39] what gnome version is using ubuntu10.10? [01:39] adelle25566: i am not playing like Woz or Jobs or Bill [01:39] maxo: yep, having looked I feel rather silly. [01:39] adelle25566:exactly....that's why I ubuntu [01:39] joshmc, that's ok, I even added it at first :-) [01:40] I dual-boot between Ubuntu and Arch [01:40] Acid190: so? [01:40] maybe i'll just run natty in virtualbox to have a look. but I guess it won't support compiz, so maybe not much point [01:40] hmmm [01:40] I should probably look at this windows stuff one day [01:41] maxo: indeed, Natty Unity and Virtualbox aren't friends. [01:41] gordonjcp, yes on natty that is the correct gconf settings,, I havent tested this on natty yest but the window decoration plugin is going to be far better to deal with shadows,,or rather easier on natty [01:41] maxo: I use LiveUSB sticks instead. [01:41] gordonjcp: Win7 is actually quite nice, as far as windows versions go. [01:41] coz_: do I need to restart my session or something? [01:42] gordonjcp, no you souldnt have to but with natty ,, at the stage it is in right now.. trying that cant hurt [01:42] gordonjcp, also on natty / compiz the windows7 snap is available [01:42] When I'm installing and selecting partitions manually, I select /dev/sda1 to install the bootloader on but when I reboot it doesn't load GRUB [01:42] coz_: I don't know what that is [01:42] in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked? [01:42] in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked? [01:43] You want to install grub to sda, not sda1. (I think. double check this) [01:43] gordonjcp, when you move a window to the left edge of the monitor it maxes vertically on that side,, conversely on the rith and at the top it maxes full screen [01:43] how can I tell if my usb ports are high spped (usb2?) ? [01:43] btw, i ate an omelette today [01:43] gordonjcp, on the bottom it maxes horizontally [01:43] with tomatos [01:43] and cheese :D [01:43] Falcon: So I'll have /dev/sda1 mounted at /, /dev/sda2 as swap [01:43] then install bootloader on /dev/sda? [01:43] adelle25566: fancy that [01:43] phoenixsampras: thanks [01:44] adelle25566, unfortunately it is not breakfast time here but you may get more responses in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [01:44] adelle25566: single? [01:44] but i overfried it :( [01:44] phoenixsampras: yes [01:44] coz_: nope, still got a huge blur around my window [01:44] ubuntu__ : Grub needs to be in the boot sector of the primary drive, iirc. [01:44] gordonjcp, doing what? [01:44] coz_: ok [01:44] coz_: the big blurry drop-shadow [01:44] idoru, you kicked me from the server cuz I repasted my question in #linux and here? [01:44] gordonjcp, a eeww mmm [01:44] ubuntu__, it needs to go on the mbr (master boot record), which then passes things on to each partition, sda1, sda2 ... [01:44] blahsphemer: /amsg is a poor idea. :-) [01:45] someone talking about breakfast? [01:45] coz_: I'm going to have to pack it in now; it's given me a blinding headache [01:45] gordonjcp, let me check ccsm better still... got to #ubuntu+1 channel ,, that is the official support channel for pre release ubuntu [01:45] What maxo said. So point grub installer at sda (with no number) [01:45] ubuntu__, yes, just install it at /dev/sda [01:45] coz_: I'm in #ubuntu+1 but it's dead [01:45] XuMuK, maxo, DrFalcon: Thanks [01:45] gordonjcp: we do not support 11.04 in here, I'm sorry [01:45] gordonjcp, understood... yeah sometimes it is..ok pick up tomorrow then :) [01:45] KB1JWQ, I don't get it. Anyways am I allowed to ask my question or not? [01:45] phoenixsampras: what you are today? [01:45] Logan_: okay, yes, thanks, you've said that [01:45] ate* [01:45] KB1JWQ, I mean in 2 channels [01:45] "usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5" is what I see in messages when I tail it while plugging in the camera. Is the 1-2 meaning that the posrt is usb2? [01:45] Logan_: perhaps you'd like to contribute over in #ubuntu+1 then? [01:45] blahsphemer: And in this one repeatedly. [01:46] Without going too far into how idoru works, that's a poor idea, blahsphemer. :-) [01:46] KB1JWQ, That was an accident. My apologies [01:46] adelle25566: trying to setup a opennms server.... [01:46] With firefox under linux, I can't arrange the tabs, is there a way to fix this or a browser recommended more then firefox for ubuntu? [01:46] Anyway, this is my question: in udev rule writing, if the match condition isn't specified and only the actions are specified, then would the actions occur every time udev rules are checked? [01:47] truepurple, yes you can, just drag them [01:47] truepurple: try chrome. I greatly prefer it to firefox. [01:47] kthxbay [01:47] yeh, chrome works fine, although Google will know all your secrets [01:48] phoenixsampras: there's always chromium. [01:48] firefox 4 is awesome [01:48] firefox 4 has been very unstable and slow for me on OS X; dunno why. [01:48] is there a way to unstill vsftp and pam at the same time [01:48] "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" FTW, imo. [01:48] i wanna clear all the shit out that i installed and start over [01:48] I quit using Opera because so many pages didn't work right, but I now see that it was a good deal faster and more stable [01:48] b1lly: sudo apt-get purge vsftpd pam? [01:48] * drc has never undertood the Firefox vs Chrome arguments...I mean, it's not like its vi vs emacs...that was important. [01:48] nick Polah === ubuntu__ is now known as Polah [01:49] unable to locate pam [01:49] the main difference is chrome has rubbish address bar suggestion/predict [01:49] use butter [01:49] b1lly: whatever that package is called then [01:50] now i gotta reebot? [01:50] b1lly: only if you want to! uninstalls wont normally require restarts (well ideally) [01:51] billy: unless its a kernel, you shouldn't need to reboot [01:52] hi [01:52] maxo: they won't drag [01:52] Running ubuntu 10.10 and I need the 2.6.38 kernel as it has some dvb drivers i require.. I've upgraded using the kernel-ppa (using natty's 2.6.38) which worked fine.. But now when im installing vmware server it throws errors due to different gcc version complied on the kernel and kernel versions.. Does anyone know where i can get 2.6.38 (with source) that is build for 10.10? [01:52] usuck [01:52] j #kediri [01:53] I have a suggestion for making the upgrade process smoother. Which channel should I be on? [01:53] how can I tell what kinds of usb ports I have in this box? [01:53] #linuxmint [01:53] craig, lsusb? [01:53] lshw [01:53] TrentonAdams: #science-fiction [01:53] dmesg [01:53] gsfai: very funny, lol [01:54] TrentonAdams, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [01:54] TrentonAdams: indeed, but it really depends on which upgrade you are referring to! [01:54] TrentonAdams, I've got three 1.1 hubs, and a 2.0. Those mean usb1 and usb2? [01:54] TrentonAdams, or file it on launchpad, not sure where though [01:54] basically [01:54] gsfai 10.04 to 10.10 could have went smoother. [01:55] TrentonAdams: usually IRC channels are not ideal for such stuff, you should probably make a post @ the forums! [01:55] how do you tell what the model number of your computer is through ubuntu or through terminal [01:55] ohh no for the dev name [01:55] gsfai, okay, that sounds good. I like forums. [01:55] I would suggest a clean install rather than an upgrade, unless you know what you are doing. [01:56] >.> [01:56] Hai. [01:56] oh hai [01:56] hmm whats the equivalient terminal commend for msinfo32.exe hmmm [01:57] anyone? is there a way to see what your laptop model number is from within ubuntu or terminal === tuxampol_ is now known as tuxampol === hilarie_ is now known as hilarie [01:57] TrentonAdams, and that's four lines in lsusb, but I've got six ports. How do I figure out which ones are on that usb2.0 hub? [01:58] Help, what software does UBUNTU brainstorm uses? [01:58] Christ this place is confusing me more. >.> [01:58] craig: not sure, the lsusb suggestion was a guess. I'm checking the -v output [01:58] Victory is mine! [01:59] craig [01:59] spacenavi: Try "sudo dmidecode | more". Look on the first page of output, near the top. [01:59] dmesg [01:59] craig: Yeah, not sure. May be able to look at the output of "lsusb -v" and figure something out. But, I gotta run. [01:59] hilarie: sweet [02:00] Everyone who has a thing on installing unity, should put a warning, not to have auto-login enabled, makes it not possible to easily go back to the normal ubuntu gui [02:00] how long is 10.04 supported for? [02:00] craig if i recall correctly dmesg will tell you [02:01] should look like 2:1 [02:01] which config file do i edit to change the port to listen on for ftp [02:01] 2:0 [02:01] using vsftpd [02:01] billy: depends on what FTP server you are using [02:01] !win7 === jack___ is now known as jack_^ [02:02] !windows 7 [02:02] drfalcon should just be 20 21 ehh [02:02] !dualboot [02:02] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:02] how do i install autocad 2008 on julinux 8 === scott_ is now known as Guest25068 [02:02] billy: edit the line that says "listen_port=" in /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf or /etc/vsftpd.conf, forget which it is. [02:03] thanx DrFalcon [02:04] spacenavi: glad to help. I just happened to have a script for that, lol [02:04] how can i check file system integrity on a raid0, raid1, or raid10 volume in ubuntu? === Todd200_ is now known as Todd200 [02:05] grug: that depends very heavily on your raid controller/software [02:05] Hello, can anyone tell me how I can enable automatic logon in lubuntu 10.10? [02:05] I installed the gstreamers-plugin-bad package when trying to play a MIDI file, and now Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card [02:05] What did I do? [02:05] okay, ubuntu upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is finished, rebooted, and it's working. However, I still have the same problem with dual display I've always had. If one display is a different size than the other, my mouse has a dead zone in the smaller one. e.g. I can move my mouse past the top of the monitor. [02:05] how to fix? [02:05] DrFalcon: it's just standard software raid [02:07] I'm new to this whole Linux thing. No idea what the hell I'm doing with half of this stuff. [02:07] >:/ [02:07] grug: I think fsck will do it, but I would read the man page first. [02:08] grug: never run fsck on a mounted volume, btw. [02:08] naomi__, we were all new once. [02:09] grug: umount the volume you want to check, then fsck [02:10] Sorry, I had an issue with my sound. I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad when trying to play a MIDI file, now my sound doesn't work. I know I screwed up, I just don't know how. Any ideas? :P [02:10] True. I just can't get the hang of it. [02:11] What are you having problems with in Ubuntu? [02:11] naomi [02:11] scottamunga, ` did you install ubutnu restricted extras? [02:11] coz_, no [02:11] scottamunga, that should be the first thing you use [02:12] I have, but I tried to do without by converting over to open formats and such [02:12] I'm in the process of converting my music to Ogg [02:12] Noob question - I have domain joshmo.com and I've installed wordpress to joshmo.com/wordpress directory - on ubuntu - how do I point joshmo.com to just default to the /wordpress directory? [02:12] scottamunga, also you might want to google ubuntu midi playback to see some suggestions for that ,, however I generally never have issues with midi once the restricted extras are install [02:12] I don't know how to download/install things really. Or having to do stuff in the terminal window. Commands for it, anything. >.> [02:12] coz, are there legal issues with using restricted extras for personal use? [02:12] scottamunga, however if you prefer sun java over icedtea then you will have to remove the icedtea packages from synatpic, [02:13] naomi__ : There are a few commands that are key to teaching yourself linux. Get comfy at the command line using these commands: man, apropos, whatis, and play with the tab key. That should get you started. [02:13] scottamunga, that that I am aware of [02:13] scottamunga, mot "restricted" stuff allows for personal use,, sometimes more [02:13] im having trouble setting up users and permissions with vsftpd [02:14] coz - true, like flash and java [02:14] Is there a way I can purge the recommended packages for a package already installed... without specifying all the recommended packages to purge? [02:14] scottamunga, exactly [02:14] I'm trying to search at the command line for all traces of the word "compassion" in a sizeable archive of MSWord documents. I can't figure out the right grep command. the grep man page is overwhelming. I found i guide on google for using the grep command, but i still can't figure out what grep command i should be using. [02:14] I'll try installing restricted extras and see what happens. I'll probably be back here in a bit if the sound doesn't work :D [02:15] Lantizia, mm maybe sudo apt-get autoremove --purge name of package [02:15] i cd'ed into the directory i want and entered this command: grep -rw "compassion" [02:15] thx coz [02:15] but it doesn't show any results. [02:15] my screen binks when I play some videos. I uninstalled all dvd and video players and then reinstalled vlc but the whole computer screen keeps blinking. How do i configure my monitor so it's not struggleing to keep up with big videos. [02:15] what grep command should i be using?

YAY [02:15] Drone4four: try giving it some files to search [02:15] Lantizia, oh you additionally installed the recommended ones? [02:16] Drone4four, grep -r [-i for case-insensitive] 'compassion' msword_folder [02:16] coz_, look at the original question - it's quiet simple [02:16] *quite [02:16] Lantizia, this is the advantage of using synaptic package manager it has a history [02:16] i want to search all the files in the current directory, i don't want to list each one of them becasue there are thousands [02:16] ty smw, i'll try that [02:16] Drone4four, use -l to just get file names [02:17] bonny hi [02:17] My buddy's smw the person that used to hate me hahah we see eachother again [02:17] dont worry all are welcome [02:17] hi [02:17] dir tree [02:17] bonny, as far as I know, I don't hate you.

[02:37] abuanoname: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [02:38] is there an official from conocial here i can ask questions to?

(Just a E1691/UMG1691) [02:48] Diamondcite: It is an uninstallation problem, I removed the modules, yet still have the listing for the "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" [02:48] BabyGirl: but runlevels can be adjusted automatically at start up. [02:48] Diamondcite: in the first link he says "ill let u know" and disappears, apparently it didnt work, and people suggested that script too [02:48] Loelin: Is that an issue? Perhaps you can try to install the package ubuntu-desktop ?

[02:50] Diamondcite: Yes, it is, because everytime I reinstall and load into Netbook Edition, I do not get the Unity interface, just the wallpaper. Besides, I already installed ubuntu-desktop. [02:50] BabyGirl: Could guess that firefox :), use Opera instead or http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/i-personally-like-gui-tools-but-i-also.html [02:50] Diamondcite: saski3g whatever the name was [02:50] i thought GPL was only for non profit?

[02:52] it would be nice if more gamers supported linux natively to be honest that is the only thing holding me back [02:52] Loelin: I'm sorry but I REALLY won't know where to start. Unity is supposed to be for 11.04 and I haven't played with it yet. [02:53] BabyGirl: nice firefox 5 & <-- this can be used in script or as command.

[02:57] Epzis: Unfortunately I am not an expert in the field with you key.. this is the first time I've seen it be needed.. so how is this sakis3g not working to your satisfaction? [02:57] shcherbak: what do you think of pulseaudio? [02:57] BabyGirl: Yes, there is some more about staring firefox. [02:58] Diamondcite: sakis3g is working like a charm, my question was if anyone knew it or checked its source, im a lil paranoid you see, i dont want to trust it blindly but due to my job i dont have time to check the source, so i was asking if somene did [02:58] i remember the days of trying to get flash support for firefox on a x64 build [02:59] Epzis: You will have to keep asking since I won't be able to help in that sense. but it might be normal to ask for administor permission to add a device. [02:59] DrkCodeman: Awesome, in comparision with jack. Till last summer was using OSS, since change cannot complain, apart of malfunction with 2+ Xservers. [02:59] Diamondcite: ye but doesnt that name give you the creep ? lol [02:59] ok time to copy n paste [02:59] hi, is there any reason i can't copy my entire home directory to a new desktop if they're both using ubuntu 10.04?

[03:17] well, i thought the live system would allow me to see if i can get everything running/configured, and then it would install it exactly as it is configured on the usb drive, onto my harddrive [03:17] ~:D [03:17] but i havent seen documentation that says that exactly [03:17] shcherbak - do not understand [03:17] perlmonkey: curry [03:18] mmm [03:18] i love curry too [03:18] gsiaw: it doesn't install quite what's on the drive.

[03:18] IanWizard - so when i install it from the live usb drive, i will be starting from square 1 again? [03:19] Does anybody know how to bypass the 4gb limit of remastersys? [03:19] hi [03:19] gsiaw: yep [03:19] anyone here know something about gnome-shell? [03:19] IanWizard - oh , good to know, i guess [03:19] gsiaw: there may be a way around that, but I'm unaware of it. [03:19] I'm having a problem with the internet connection and maybe you can help me [03:20] IanWizard - thanks! i will start writing down what i did then [03:20] fede: me too [03:20] gsiaw: no prob [03:21] oobie: are you using the latest version? [03:21] Does anybody know how to bypass the 4gb limit of remastersys? [03:21] is 10.10 the latest or is there a new one i am not aware of?

[03:45] joshmc: so it's just as safe or unsafe to just use su, and then exit from terminal to stop [03:45] i mainly use sudo for apt-get or updatedb [03:45] srry just got back to the comp so didnt see it [03:45] mrdeb: it's as safe as you and your habits make it.

[04:24] yes lasha. [04:24] I have an issue: I added Ubuntu Dev Audio PPA and upgraded the audio packages. Then I purged the PPA... And now I have obsolete packages. How can I fix this? thanks [04:25] I want to roll back to previous version === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [04:25] AndreuLs: is it more lightweight ? [04:25] Diamondcite Yes because now the GRUB menu is Hidden === darkdevil is now known as Guest58017 === Guest58017 is now known as Guest48150 [04:25] New0: Press something as the system boots, say esc and press it repeatedly, grub shouldn't be THAT hidden unless it was wiped out.. [04:25] Diamondcite but for now it also not possible for me to boot with Live Cd [04:26] New0: Why did you have a need to hide grub that deep anyway? === share is now known as Guest14482 [04:27] Grub2 doesn't display menu by default. HOLD SHIFT to see menu. [04:28] Diamondcite becuaese my laptop did problems, and i called Sony Support and they say that someone will come to me to fix it. but my brother told me to hidded it so the tech guy whould not blem me [04:28] Please I need to know to rollback to other releases of pulseaudio [04:28] I am planning to leave my computer ON ll night rendering an image in Luxrnder, but I want to set an alarm in case the GPU overheats. I am using GKREKLLM, is there a command that alerts me when my GPU overheats? [04:29] often you can set it in the bios [04:29] Diamondcite i try it Esc but it didn't work. it say Grub is loading or something like it, and then windows keep load and not show me the grub menu === Guest14482 is now known as \share [04:30] New0: Someone else recommended holding shift during boot (probably left shift) [04:30] but why would it overheat in the first place? [04:30] toss some heat spreader on it and a better fan and it should be fine [04:31] maybe a better sink too [04:31] Diamondcite ok anyway i will try it another time now and i will see,,, hoo tnx didn't try it yet. anyway i will try it now and will be back. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) [04:31] good morning [04:31] hello [04:31] good evening [04:31] good night [04:32] in my friends pc we first treid ubuntu and it hangs after 'boot into live cd without installing' pc is old. so we tried xubuntu. but same problem. whats wrong? what we can do? [04:32] help [04:32] u suck [04:32] lol abh [04:32] o0o0well [04:33] i have the same problem on a old i686 === TheEvilPhoenix is now known as EvilPhoenix [04:33] rcconf: /etc/apt/preferences | Package: * | Pin: release a=jaunty | Pin-Priority: 1001 | aptitude install pulseaudio [04:33] i tried ubuntu dsl mandriva knoppix [04:33] what to talk about fellow nerds [04:33] Abhijit: If it has a wifi capable card, it might want wifi to be connected before it works [04:34] Diamondcite, ?? [04:34] why [04:34] Diamondcite, we are talking about booting into live x/ubuntu cd [04:34] AndreuLs: jaunty? [04:34] Abhijit: It's one of those odd quirks I don't understand yet, in my own home when I tried to liveCD at times it would fail until network is connected. [04:35] Diamondcite, i will try this. today i am goint to taht friends home. thank yuo. [04:35] i can boot live or install on the i686 acrhitceture im talking bout ohh tried arch too [04:35] you [04:35] is there a channel for virtual box? [04:35] caleb_fd09, #vbox [04:36] Diamondcite hey, i try it with Esc and Shift Right, Left , Both and didn't work [04:36] is there a channel for proxmox [04:36] lol [04:36] yep [04:37] Ok, me for one...Im sick of these netsplits...this joint splits more than efnet, undernet, and dalnet combined...and then they make excuses...try our up and coming irc network, we offer the same services, less netsplits. irc.sindustries.org === joseph_ is now known as sutabi [04:37] New0: You will need a liveCD/LiveUSB to changeg grub settings.. [04:37] Diamondcite ok this is the thing. i choose in grub to select win 7, then i choose timeout to 0 [04:37] Hi guys, I am not able to chroot from my ubuntu. [04:37] edward@ubuntu:/mnt/arch$ sudo chroot /mnt/arch /bin/bash [04:37] chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory === big_t_ is now known as big_t [04:38] Des anyone knows thw command for my PC to beep analarm if my GPU is overheating? [04:38] Diamondcite yea i know tnx :). but right now i don't have one. so maybe it's possible from windows. i knnow there is a software that can read/write to/from EXT3 [04:38] Edgan, bash needs to be in the chroot [04:39] so the bash needs to be in the directory you are chrooting into? [04:40] Osmodivs, You could script something that polls the temp and sounds a beep. [04:41] Osmodivs, It would depend on where you could read the temp from, some use /proc/acpi/thermzone others use an application. [04:41] hey anyone here use asus u series ? [04:41] ac7ss, Well, I am using GKRELLM, I just want to use a command that beeps with the internal speaker. [04:41] New0: The main issue is.... writting to ext3 isn't enough, you need to get to the the MBR.. [04:42] ok [04:42] i got the ftp user account to work [04:42] guys, i need to compile source code for wireless driver. here is my output to lspci command http://pastebin.com/EZpTgUgi [04:42] my question is, how do i find out what directory im connected to now lol [04:42] Diamondcite right... i forgot about update-grub :) [04:42] cuz it def isnt right [04:42] Osmodivs, beep would sound the bell. [04:42] lOL [04:42] ac7ss, the command Beep does not work, unless I need to add a $,&,; or wahtever symbol to execute it [04:42] tnx [04:42] or how do i set r+write access to users for /var/www/website/* [04:42] and all the sub directories [04:42] is thre a way to get the ubuntu1 client to stop spamming libnotify (on Natty) [04:42] ? [04:43] !natty | bpr [04:43] bpr: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [04:43] Osmodivs, are you doing this from a shell or within the ap. [04:43] lol... ty ubottu (lol @ bots) [04:43] ac7ss, Within the app [04:44] Logan_: I asked in #ubuntu+1, it's dead atm [04:44] bpr: yes, but we do not answer Natty-related questions in this channel. You will have to be patient. [04:44] Does this channel offer Wubi support as well? [04:44] bpr: try ##linux [04:44] Joey_: yes. [04:44] ty, rcconf [04:44] Diamondcite: hi, i found out that my machine doesn`t have make file for wireless driver. how can i make this file [04:44] Diamondcite ok man THANK YOU VERY MUCH for trying to help me. but i think that i need to solve it with LiveCD/USB and not stick my head to the gruond :) tnx [04:45] hello, will e2fsck erase my hard drive? [04:45] Osmodivs, I am not familiar with the app. so cannot help. (I would write a script to poll regularly and sound the beep. not using the app.) [04:45] wahoo got it to work [04:45] i need to be identified with services? [04:45] I've tried using Wubi about 10 times today with different versions of Ubuntu, and each time, after the install of the OS completes, the bootloader fails even though I didn't run updates [04:45] hello, I just experienced a problem updating ubuntu, can anyone help me? [04:45] Alex61639: I don't suppose you can plug in a network cable to get networking? [04:45] problem updating? [04:45] !ask | Bling98 [04:45] Bling98: 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. :-) [04:46] Osmodivs, beep may be an internal sh command. you may be able to get away with "sh beep" to sound it. [04:46] Diamondcite: no, i can`t plug it in. for some stupid reasons (don`t ask :)) i wouldn`t ask otherwise [04:46] I'm trying to recover my crashed hard drive. Will running $ e2fsck -f /dev/sda5 erase my data on my dual boot laptop? [04:47] Diamondcite: btw what is the name of the wireless driver for ubuntu? [04:48] For some reason, network time is not being set [04:48] ac7ss, sh beep, nothing, I guess I am gonna have to trust my GPU to not overheat tonight, it's too late for me to do something else, thx anyway [04:48] Alex61639: Ubuntu comes with certain wireless drivers built in.. more importantly.. what is your wireless card? [04:48] I have tried to set it on 4 different systems and it wont set.. It's getting kind of annoying [04:48] ok, I installed ubuntu previously and was updating some files. then it asked to reboot, following the reboot, I had a version 10 of ubuntu, and there was nothing but the terminal window asking for my login and password. the main folders were still there, but I don't see any of my files. [04:48] Is there some reason why the linux devs decided it would be too convenient to have an "install" button on their programs? [04:49] Alex61639: If you have no idea, then please provide the full modelname if your laptop [04:49] Diamondcite: are u asking about BCM4312? [04:49] ExplodingPiglets: if it's a .deb file just double click it.. [04:49] Osmodivs, another approach would be to "mpg123 Soundfile.mp3" over the regular speakers. :) [04:49] it is a tar file [04:49] Diamondcite by the way, after i'm loading LiveCD/USB, i only need to find GRUB change it back and update-grub command? [04:49] Alex61639: some form of broadcom.. doensn't the enviroment ask you to Activate additional drivers? [04:50] ExplodingPiglets: If you want "install" button, look for debs. [04:50] New0: Supposedly, yes [04:50] if it is a .tar file, you will probably have to build it [04:50] Well, it isn't a deb. [04:50] New0: Please remember to chroot into your hard drive! [04:50] ExplodingPiglets: TAR = Source File. Compile it first then install it. [04:50] It is a driver for my webcam [04:50] Ok, what the hell is compile? [04:50] ExplodingPiglets: there's many ways of packaging programs.. some tar's have to be compiled.. others come with installers.. you just have to know how to install it.. but you're not getting tar's from the software center (ubuntu dev's responsibility) [04:51] Diamondcite: it says it can`t connect to the internet [04:51] ok let's pretend I have no idea what compiling is or how to do it [04:51] what's a command I can use to find words (eg, background) within text files from the terminal? [04:51] ExplodingPiglets: "use a computer program to translate source code written in a particular programming language into computer-readable machine code that can be executed" [04:51] it's not grep is it? [04:51] nor is it find [04:51] Alex61639: ... that is odd.. So it DOES say additional drivers are available but it wants the internet? [04:51] is it SED? [04:51] !compile | ExplodingPiglets [04:51] ExplodingPiglets: Compiling software from source?

When you compile a source code, you create a binary, then you install that binary. [04:52] does anyone know how to recover data from an encrypted hard drive? [04:52] b1lly: probably because that machine's user doesn't have a user on the ftp machine and/or that user isn't listed in the database of users for the FTP [04:52] I have a source code and I want to compile under Linux but the executale file is able to run under MacOS [04:52] Theoretician: install trucrypt [04:52] Theoretician: install truecrypt [04:52] and mount the volume [04:52] can i apt-get it? [04:52] Diamondcite; yes. i have followed some videos on youtube where guys simply activate driver after downloading it [04:53] Theoretician: Recover data? You forget the password? [04:53] sweet jesus! [04:53] Theoretician: no, go to their site [04:53] ok.... [04:53] well my localhost machine prompts username and password, and when i enter it in, it directs me to the correct dir [04:53] what is a binary?

I have the password [04:53] How can I rollback pulseaudio? [04:53] Theoretician: Okay. How is it encrypted in first place? [04:53] ExplodingPiglets: what's the driver for again? [04:53] I am being on topic, I am trying to get help. Isn't that what #ubuntu is for? Or is it just called the support channel for the lulz? [04:54] quickcam [04:54] why would my wireless connect to an unsecured network...pull a webpage and then disconnect? [04:54] with the default encryption that ubuntu offers when you install [04:54] the file name is qc-usb-0.6.6.tar.gz [04:54] izinucs: any suggestion? [04:54] Theoretician: dont know :\ [04:54] the encrypt home directory button [04:54] ExplodingPiglets: and where did you find out that's what you needed for the cam? [04:54] I googled. [04:54] Theoretician: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [04:55] Theoretician: You may have better luck with this as I don't use that stuff myself. [04:55] That is what I have been doing... [04:55] My webcam works....sort of. But the lighting goes off. [04:55] ExplodingPiglets: not being overly familure with cams.. is quickcam logitech or MS or what? [04:55] yeah [04:55] logitech [04:55] it doesn't work [04:55] ExplodingPiglets: what do you mean the lighting goes off? [04:55] ExplodingPiglets: What program are you testing with? [04:55] Alex61639: Look for broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source from an ubuntu package server and downlaod those files to usb [04:55] wel hold on [04:56] !doesnt work [04:56] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [04:56] it just sort of flickers [04:56] So I have been following that guide that you sent, however I cannot access the files with the process described [04:56] ExplodingPiglets: what program are you testing it with? [04:56] hello, I just got ubuntu to work, and now I am having an issue installing things, I am getting a message that says "an unhandleable error occured" "there seems to be a programming error in aptdameon" this is on 10.10 [04:56] Alex61639: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common [04:57] here [04:57] http://tinychat.com/woeiwdoied [04:57] look at it [04:57] Theoretician: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs/ (Perhaps, access your encrypted data from a liveCD or similar). [04:57] Diamondcite: thanks, i will have a look [04:57] anything I can do to get rid of that error? [04:58] red2kic: im going to try that, gimme a sec [04:58] ExplodingPiglets: looks like a flash site.. that might be part of the issue. Did you install flash on your machine? [04:58] I believe it has it. [04:58] What program in particular should I be looking for? [04:58] hold on, let me test it on cheese [04:58] Diamondcite: i need all of them? all three [04:58] ExplodingPiglets: Yes, try cheese [04:59] ExplodingPiglets: you can test with "cheese".. sudo apt-get install cheese or look in software center for it. [04:59] Any idea why the mini install ISO would freeze when I select "install" ? I can scroll the menu before I choose anything, but when I choose install it just freezes at the menu.. === abc is now known as Guest2775 [04:59] Tamago: What version of ubuntu? [05:00] !downgrade [05:00] Alex61639: Atleast common and source I think. [05:00] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [05:00] soreau: 10.10 [05:00] Diamondcite chroot what is it? [05:00] Tamago: Did you check the md5sum of the image? [05:00] Tamago: Use "spacebar" to toggle something before you "Enter" to install something. [05:00] I copied the cd to usb key, syslinux'd it, renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg [05:00] ok it works fine in cheese [05:00] soreau: nah. [05:00] so I just want to downgrade a package! [05:00] red2kic: I did, and i get this: Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory [05:00] Check your system logs; visit [05:00] Tamago: So you're installing nothing. [05:00] ExplodingPiglets: That means your drivers are working fine [05:00] red: ok.. er? I'm at the boot menu, not the installer. [05:00] New0: the chroot command when used properly makes the disable system look like the active system so you can do repairs on it while it won't boot [05:00] ok, then what is the problem? [05:01] ExplodingPiglets: It's likely whatever other program you were seeing the problem in is at fault [05:01] ExplodingPiglets: so you might need to install flash.. there are several versions.. some are "free" some not.. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:01] im gonna do this way. wish me luck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto#Setting%20up%20pinning [05:01] Theoretician: I never used eCryptfs -- I only know little enough to give you useful links. [05:01] red2kic: here is exactly what i ran: sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home//home//.Private /mnt/hard_drive [05:02] oh [05:02] Theoretician: -- Being your actual username? [05:02] Tamago: You might want to check the md5sum to eliminate the possibility of a faulty iso image [05:02] Diamondcite ok i never use this command, but also i will not weste your time. and i will google it tnx :) [05:02] hm force version in synaptic [05:03] hehe [05:03] red2kic: right now I am running ubuntu off of a external hard drive and I copied the encrypted home directory on the internal hard drive to my /home/ [05:05] i have a partition named Data and i want to mount it automatically on every system restart how to do that using fstab? [05:05] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [05:05] why? [05:05] Theoretician: A friendly advice. If you're able to get in just fine, make a backup. [05:05] ok I tried webcam studio [05:05] the same thing is happening [05:05] it keeps flickering [05:05] jiltdil, add an entry to your /etc/fstab [05:06] jiltdil, Um...there's heaps of "examples" on the forums...? [05:06] red2kic: that is what I did, however I would like to be able to decrypt my back up [05:06] ac7ss:whats the entery i have to de done [05:06] ExplodingPiglets: Do you have it pointed at a high lumen area? (such as outside sunlight) [05:06] nope [05:06] not at all [05:06] It is night here and I am in my well-lit room [05:06] jiltdil, use a mount command to mount it where you want it, use the information gained from 'mount' to copy into the fstab. [05:07] Theoretician: Google something like "ubuntu, ecryptfs decrypt, solved" -- You may get lucky. [05:07] jiltdil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [05:07] yeah, ok [05:08] jiltdil, "mount /dev/hdb0 /data ; mount" the result will give something like /dev/dhb0 on /data type vfat options rw, nouser,remount [05:08] Theoretician: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [05:09] rcconf: I have been doing that however it will not let me see decrypted files [05:09] !minimal [05:09] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:10] ... could someone do that command for me? [05:10] nm, google helped. [05:10] they having a fire drill lol [05:10] Theoretician: you are doing something wrong obviously [05:10] jiltdil, use that information line from the mount command to set the options in fstab, copying the options shown. [05:11] stupid component, just enable [05:11] rcconf: well, I will try again, but I did everything exactly as was listed [05:12] hello fellow linux users [05:12] Hello speedrunnerG55 [05:12] howdy [05:12] what is the difference "maverick" and "maverick-updates"?

[05:13] DO I force version maverick or maverick-update? [05:13] maverick-updates? [05:13] jiltdil, where is the target directory (mountpoint) [05:13] a mod probe serial [05:14] Mad_HaTTer: what? [05:14] ac7ss:/media/Data [05:14] ohh just reading what u did [05:14] Does anybody know if e2fsck will erase my hard drive? [05:15] e2 file system check [05:15] apparently can't use compiz and xinerama....great.... [05:15] screw this, I am going back to windows. [05:15] kinda like sfc in windows [05:15] Kamakazi: why you using xinerama? [05:15] Is there supposed to be a options file in modprobe.d under maverick? [05:15] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [05:15] its just a fire drill [05:16] what the hell? [05:16] how can I downgrade pulseaudio?

[05:16] what package has mkfs.ext4? [05:16] anyone able to get netflix going... I have tried a bunch of stuff from the net but no luck [05:16] !find mkfs.ext4 [05:16] no it checks your file system [05:17] do i have to restore lost+found files on the current filesystem or can i do it later on a fresh install? [05:17] File mkfs.ext4 found in e2fsprogs, manpages-fr-extra [05:17] Kamakazi: twinview wouldn't do it with a custom xorg.conf? or using xrandr to rearrange the monitors orientation? [05:17] ayecee: I have e2fsprogs installed [05:17] !silverlight | hanasaki [05:17] hanasaki: For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [05:17] Synthead, is formting [05:17] Mad_HaTTer: so it wont? I just want to be sure... [05:17] Logan_: I did that... still no luck [05:18] Synthead, just use terminal to format [05:18] izinucs, well, I couldn't get that to work, which certainly doesn't mean it isn't possible [05:18] Synthead: there is no /sbin/mkfs.ext4? [05:18] go figure.. they have java servers and play via silverlight [05:18] no it wont it checks the integrity of your file system [05:18] ayecee: no, there isn't [05:18] Synthead: you may have to reinstall the package [05:18] hiexpo: this is a cloud machine that will never have a monitor on it [05:18] Kamakazi: most likely xrandr will do it for you.. it'll take some digging for the right commands though. [05:19] ac7ss; whai is the meaning of remount -ro [05:19] How do I downgrade pulseaudio after purging a PPA?! [05:19] ayecee: how do you reinstall, or force an install?

[05:57] al_nz1, search to install samba, and there is a graphical editor that you can install. Install that, and then go ... system->applications->samba, and click on users, change password for that user and done.

[06:16] trying [06:17] if it's the contrary is win7 fault [06:17] YankDownUnder and Mad_HaTTer can you two please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or PM so that we can focus on Ubuntu support in here [06:17] find out what its doing thre most of then put up another one to take over that task and share the load [06:17] IdleOne: what is the command to purge completetly a PPA [06:17] ppa-purge [06:18] Mad_HaTTer, Told ya we'd get busted... :) [06:18] though it likely wont work right with the held packages either [06:18] rcconf: umm purge-apt-repository, you will need to install it first [06:18] Anyone have an issue with ubuntu netbook remix and the battery all of a sudden not even being listed as a peaice of harware? [06:18] IdleOne: which package? [06:18] rcconf: ppa-purge is the package [06:18] lol yep ill be back in a minuite i gotta go outside for a smoke [06:18] 10.10 [06:18] ty [06:20] rcconf: the command is ppa-purge ppa:ppaowner/ppaname [06:20] IdleOne: will it remove the keys also? [06:20] rcconf, you may also want to check out y-ppa-manager [06:20] server key [06:20] rcconf: it should [06:21] coz_: y-ppa-manager?\ [06:21] IdleOne, yeah hold on [06:21] I got the link coz_ :) [06:22] IdleOne, https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/y-ppa-manager [06:22] IdleOne, I have been testing this for about a month now... will search for ppa's and also purge any that you have installed with it [06:22] IdleOne, so far not a single glitch [06:23] ture [06:23] FINALLY [06:23] anyone pls help, I was upgrading from Karmic to Lucid on the internet and I have the following error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found. What do I do? [06:23] IdleOne is my god damn hero [06:23] coz_: will test it, thanks for the info. [06:23] IdleOne, no problem... its kinda cool [06:23] rcconf: glad I was able to help. please keep it family friendly :) [06:23] IdleOne, it will list packages in a ppa before you even install the ppa === Guest72911 is now known as gac [06:24] so will the page you find them on [06:24] Is there a command to run a diagnostic on battery hardware in ubuntu? === gac is now known as Guest18716 [06:24] arazilla: theres fwts, but theres nothign to really diagnose; you should see battery messages in dmesg, did you disable acpi? [06:25] Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a dpkg related issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/586720/ [06:26] idleone have you ever been to pinouts.ru ? [06:26] ohsix: i'm completly new to *nix OS so bare with me, all i know is sometimes the battery just dissappears off my hardware listings. [06:26] http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/local/hillsborough/zoo-volunteer-arrested-03222011# [06:26] Mad_HaTTer: no. [06:27] mcse i think youd like it [06:27] Hello, i'm in a bit of a bind, i need to do a memory test and i only have an ubuntu 10.10 livecd, it seems to boot straight to the desktop instead of giving a choice to memtest. is there a button to press to make it memtest on boot? [06:27] Pinouts.ru is a great tool to keep at hand... [06:27] i have a ubuntu 10.10 system with r600 graphics. a recent package upgrade said to reboot, and when I did it cant start X [06:27] the X log says "no screens found" [06:28] Mad_HaTTer: how is that Ubuntu support related? [06:28] is there a workaround to get back into graphics so I can connect to the network and figure out what happened? [06:28] hi all, when I boot into ubuntu, there is a warning, said your battery may be broken or old [06:28] ouyes: thats normal. [06:28] ohsix: i've checked the hardware side, and noting is amiss, it just vanishes off the hardware listing [06:28] Arc, what is wrong? [06:29] Mad_HaTTer, Thanks, I can use that reference [06:29] idleone ubuntu is on a computer pinouts.ru helps with building beast computers that linux is perfectly suited for [06:29] ouyes: your batter isnt running at full capacity. its not that uncommon. if the battery life doesnt effect you then ignore it [06:29] is there anyone use thinkpad x201 running ubuntu ? [06:29] arazilla: i don't know what hardware listing you're looking at, but theres only one place to really look, and that's if acpi sees it at boot [06:30] am have install phpmyadmin, and am forget the user name and password [06:30] Arc, in windows, it is 100%charged but in ubuntu it said 35% [06:30] ouyes: theres also a battery blacklist for batteries that have had recalls [06:30] ouyes: the sony and dell batteries that have caused fires, for example [06:30] guys anyone knows how to get BSOD screensaver ? [06:31] ouyes: if ubuntu thinks theres 35%, discharge it completely, then check the capacity after a full recharge [06:31] am have install phpmyadmin on ubuntu 10.10, and am forget the password, and am remove the phpmyadmin and still used password need you ide [06:31] screen saver section should have an online download option like firefox does for addons and stuff :P thats for later versions hopefully [06:31] lasha, gnome-look.org might have it [06:32] ohsix: alrigh, thanks. I'll go google that, see what i can find. Thanks for the information [06:32] idleone do you not consider hardware to be os related? [06:32] ouyes: How old is the laptop? [06:32] Mad_HaTTer: meta discussion is also offtopic [06:33] red2kic, one year old [06:33] Mad_HaTTer: yes, but hardware support is best kept in #hardware. [06:34] really i didnt even think to look for a hardware channel === a is now known as Guest93995 [06:34] ouyes: Meh. You leave it plugged all times? I think it's a rule that nobody know... That you should let it drain down at least 3 times per month. Once a week or something like that. I remember installing old laptop. Windows say 100% but Ubuntu was pretty accurate -- Bad battery. [06:34] both operating systems keep a battery history too; if you haven't been regularly draining it in windows it thinks the battery is unchanged [06:35] idleone you had my hopes up :( [06:35] #hardware is invite only [06:35] per channel naming policy on freenode, it'd be ##hardware [06:35] red2kic, yes I think my battery was broken as ubuntu said. poor laptop just one year [06:36] please,how remove permanant phpmyadmin, and am need recovery my password, or have the good ide [06:36] what is this need to be identified with services does that mean i need to register? [06:36] ouyes: Perhaps. Nothing we can do about it. :) [06:37] is that a ubuntu question [06:37] ouyes: paste the output of upower -d to paste.ubuntu.com [06:37] red2kic, ohsix ,Arc, thanks any way [06:38] how can i copy from putty on a windows box to my ubuntu box. i can login fine, but what is the cp command? [06:38] no its a freenode question so nm i guess [06:38] (from desktop to desktop)? [06:38] juzzy_: it's a separate tool, scp [06:38] juzzy_: or sftp === Logan is now known as Guest41641 [06:40] ohsix, i tried scp, but when in putty(logged into my ubuntu box) i am unable to access my windows box desktop for the scp? [06:40] #ubuntu-offtopic [06:41] notnukeslion: http://www.memtest.org/ download the ios burn to disc or download usb [06:41] my screen atarted appearing bluish and red color looks blue.I had uninstalled a few files I dont know which.Kindly help [06:42] nothingspecial: i dunno if it's in the boot menu anymore, but you can just hit a key when you see the logo at the bottom of the keyboard, it'll display the boot menu [06:42] hey whatis the ubuntu add user command? [06:42] !adduser [06:42] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [06:43] hey fellas [06:43] hi [06:46] why are there a dozen different emacs packages? [06:47] different versions? [06:47] yes [06:47] emacs is a complicated operating system ;] [06:47] (pfifo): um. people like alot of packages [06:48] (pfifo): seriously, it's like having backup incase the newer version doesn't work [06:48] i just think it's funny a console editor has more functionality than pretty much any modern office suite :) [06:48] which one should I use to learn emacs? === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara [06:49] Hey all, I've had issues with installing nvidia drivers for my gts 450, im on a fresh install now. Anybody with experience want to tell me what to install? [06:49] I installed 'emacs23' [06:49] What does '--x--xrwx' mean in directory listing? [06:50] Jipstah, perms for the file [06:51] Anyone have experience with proprietary drivers(or even the new nouveau ones) for gts 450? Last few times I've tried have resulted in no graphical login [06:51] Could specify somehow? It's for an assigment. [06:51] Hi, does anyone know of a way with apt-get or aptitude to purge/remove all packages that are from a particular repository? [06:51] Jipstah, that particular string means the file is executable by all users and group users, and readable, writeable, and executible by the owner [06:51] Assumer, try the latest drivers from nvidia, ubuntus might not support that new of a chip. [06:51] logan [06:52] yes? [06:52] yes [06:52] pfifo: I've tried the ones from their site once before, I can do so again I suppose. [06:52] Interwebs: like -updates? ppa-purge will do ppa's; it's manual and ugly to get stuff to downgrade if you remove the extra repos (-update & -proposed and the like) [06:53] Thanks. Is there "parts" in the string that mean it's only readable/writeable or executible? [06:53] Jipstah: you can look at the manual for chmod, it explains all this [06:53] Assumer, I dont recommend noeavu [06:53] * ac7ss will open a shell to run vi before using Kate or Gedit. [06:53] Assumer: jockey didn't offer top install drivers for you? [06:53] my name is Logan too [06:54] oh [06:54] ohsix: oh it offers, But it's being sneaky and is offering to break my system [06:54] Assumer: try system -> administration -> additional drivers [06:54] sounds like a bug then [06:54] pfifo: I'm going to attempt using a ppa for newer drivers I've found, running out of options so guess its worth a try, thanks for the help [06:55] my screen shows red color as blue.What do i do? [06:55] Assumer: theres an x-swat ppa that has updated drivers [06:55] ohsix: that's hte one I've found [06:55] taran, buy a new monitor? === Mad_HaTTer is now known as MadHaTTer_222 [06:55] taran: check that the green pin isn't bent on your vga connector [06:55] hi, is there anyone who is familiar with ubuntu's sbackup package? i'm trying to use it to restore parts of my filesystem, and it appears to be stuck. i started a task that should restore about 40GB of files, and it's been going on for a few hours now. [06:56] ohsix: I did nothing with PC except connecting a slave hard disk last week since that day it happened [06:56] This here first [06:56] why are there a dozen different emacs packages? [06:57] pfifo: why is water wet/ [06:58] ohsix, van der wals force? [06:58] ohsix is that a ubuntu question? [06:58] MadHaTTer_222: trolling is offtopic on freenode [06:58] well, he's asking about the ubuntu repos, so i'd say it qualifies [06:58] he's asking about the debian repos [06:59] if theres more than one version, that's useful to someone; that's about the end of it [06:59] well, text mode emacs is on 23 i believe, xemacs uses 21, so that's probably a start right there [06:59] plus if you know anything about emacs, new versions are few and far between, and they break stuff; and addons wont work with every version. people are fine with older versions, or multiple versions [07:00] but that's all speculation, the question is silly, ask the maintainers of those packages; they are not here [07:00] Popularity is not high as [07:03] I need some help with a bash script. If I want to use an argument on a command, but conditionally (based on other variables in the script) how would I do that? [07:03] Im asking specifically about the package's for 10.10, their all 23.0, whats the differences? and if you dont actually USE emacs, please spare me your opinion. [07:03] I can't do like var="--arg" that just spits out an error [07:04] pfifo: look at the package descriptions if you want to know what they are [07:04] Sleaker, #bash would be more useful [07:04] thanks Kart === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [07:05] theres only 4 emacs packages, and all the descriptions are enlightening [07:05] the rest are addons/support for their respective versions [07:05] np [07:07] why does red color appear blue on my screen?What should I do? [07:08] just grab the emacs meta, will install what you need [07:08] forsooth === Guest41641 is now known as ccdos [07:09] taran, most likely a hardware problem, can you test it on another machine? [07:09] pfifo: last week I nhad connected a slave hard disk since that day this trouble happened [07:10] pfifo: how do i correct ahrdware problem? [07:10] taran, new hardware [07:11] generally, classifying something as a hardware problem, say; instead of a software problem, is that's the part that needs replacement/changing [07:11] pfifo: may be some pin disconnected [07:11] taran, or a soldering iron and a lot of patience :P [07:11] DaPenguin: but what should be soldered? is it easy to find this fault [07:11] taran, start by removing that drive [07:12] hi, is there anyone who is familiar with simple backup restore on ubuntu? i'm trying to restore a 40GB filesystem, and it's been going on for 3 hours now. not sure if it's ever going to finish. [07:13] Anyone know how to install ubuntu on a pipboy? [07:13] yes [07:14] it comes pre-installed [07:14] aaron_c: any general problem with that sort of thing can be looked in on with strace, strace -p in fact, it'll show the system calls it's making, so you can see if it's making progress [07:17] How do I get my files off of my machine to a windows machine over the network? [07:17] JoeCoolDesk, cifs is suitable [07:17] JoeCoolDesk: ftp server? netcat? scp? [07:18] scp is nice [07:18] I have multiple partitions [07:21] abem: Follow this guide to re-install grub from a LiveCD: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide then when you're booted into Ubuntu again run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select all drives but *no* partitions when prompted for install devices. [07:23] Heard rsync is best [07:24] I accidentally deleted /etc/grub.d/00_header, is there a way to find out which package contains it? === Guest18716 is now known as gac [07:24] apc: dpkg -S /etc/grub.d/00_header [07:24] theres no best; it's all case by case, in your case, with windows involved you might have character set problems if any of the filenames contain extended characters === gac is now known as Guest78617 [07:25] thanks, Jordan_U [07:25] apc: You're welcome. [07:25] I cant connect to a wireless network with wpa2 aes, whats up with that? [07:27] Stava: who knows, there are logs for network-manager in /var/log [07:27] How do I SSH to a LiveCD? [07:27] ohsix, how do i update the list of available networks? can i list/search for them using the command line? [07:28] JoeCoolDesk: you'd need to install openssh-server in the livecd; and set a password for "ubuntu", the livecd account, or add another [07:28] please help me am have install phpmyadmin, am forget password, am need remove it and all database of phpmyadmin how i do? [07:28] ikonia, please help me am have install phpmyadmin, am forget password, am need remove it and all database of phpmyadmin how i do? [07:28] Stava: that's done automatically, but you can ask network-manager for a text version with nm-tool [07:28] apt-get remove Package [07:29] how can i make a user a sudo user on a server? [07:29] Stava: you can list available networks in cli by: iwlist [07:30] ssfdre38: add them to the admin group [07:30] Kimmen, thanks [07:31] iwlist uses the old ioctls, and devices don't keep lists of that stuff anymore if they're mac80211 drivers [07:31] Kimmen, could it be that my computer setup dont support channel 14 for wireless networks? cause when i do "iwlist wlan0 channel" it'll only list 13 channels [07:31] and my wireless is on channel 14 [07:31] yes [07:31] that's controlled by the regulatory mechanism [07:31] should i change something on my computer or router? [07:32] on the router [07:32] any channel between 1 and 13 will do? [07:32] try "iw reg get" to list the current regulatory policy [07:33] NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS, im not sure i understand this, but i should pick a channel on which PASSIVE-SCAN is enabled? [07:34] those are just restrictions for a band of frequencies, y ou can ignore them; passive scan just means it listens for beacons instead of sending interrogations for known (by the os) aps [07:34] ofdm is an encoding type, and ibss is ad-hoc networking [07:35] alright [07:35] can anyone plsss help: I have upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and I am get the error: symbol 'grub_puts' not found. Its for the fourth time now asking the same question [07:35] i'll try to change to channel 2, thanks for your help [07:35] no problem [07:35] you might want to do a site survey [07:35] there are really only 4 usable channels in the US and most regulatory domains, 2 is one of those that overlaps with channel 1 [07:35] and pick a channel which is not being used? === ganesh is now known as Guest24613 [07:36] site survey will show one other network on channel 6 [07:36] pick one of the primary channels with no overlap, and failing that (say, too many aps in the area) pick the least used of the primary, then if that's still not workable, pick one of the off channel numbers [07:36] which are primary? [07:36] sec [07:36] it's 1, 6, 11 and one more [07:37] yea, 1 6 11 14; but 14 is usally unusuable [07:37] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/NonOverlappingChannels2.4GHzWLAN-en.svg [07:37] alright [07:37] i'll go with 1 then [07:37] eu only [07:37] 你好 [07:37] 好阿 [07:37] thanks a lot [07:38] !cn [07:38] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [07:38] g's 20mhz channels has 1, 5, 9, 13; that diagram shows it all though [07:38] 你是谁？ [07:38] 这里不让打汉字 [07:38] 去ubuntu-cn吧 [07:38] do you know? [07:38] 好的 [07:38] OK === michael is now known as Guest78143 [07:39] ehm, network manager crashed :o [07:40] or the notification icon disappeared [07:40] What does Ubuntu use to handle the local system mail (/var/mail/*)? [07:42] Stava: that's nm-applet [07:42] Stava: you can killall gnome-panel or just start nm-applet again with alt+f2 [07:42] Hemebond, whatever you installed? postfix/sendmail and courier/dovecot [07:42] ohsix, thanks [07:42] are pretty common could be qmail or a few other though [07:44] celthunder: Oh, I thought there might have been a default since the local mail seems to work without installing anything. [07:45] how do I make my keychain load automatically on 10.10? every time I log in it nags me for a keychain password so it can turn on my wireless connection [07:45] Hemebond: as far as I'm aware, there isn't a default and it doesn't work without installing anything :\ [07:45] Hemebond, so check netstat at what's listening on 25 [07:45] ohsix, I have one last question if you dont mind. which security mode is preferred? wpa2 personal + aes? (I also have something called wpa2 personal mixed) [07:45] or 110/465/997 [07:45] er 995? [07:46] what is the command to delete the .war file that is refered by JBOSS server? [07:46] abem: Did you see my previous answer? [07:46] rm -rf ? [07:46] Apparently exim might be the default. [07:46] (default MTA) [07:47] Stava: aes, personal just means it's a pre shared key instead of using 802.1x stuff for passwords [07:47] ohsix, would tkip+aes be less secure than aes? [07:48] yes [07:48] Hemebond: exim is on Debian. Ubuntu tends to prefer postfix. Neither is installed in Ubuntu by default. [07:48] ccmp is what you want if you can get it [07:48] wep :) [07:48] rww: Hmm, I guess mdadm installs Postfix itself then. [07:49] but it's nothing like wep vs. wpa, tkip can let people inject frames by abusing qos; which can be dangerous, but nothing like wep [07:49] ohsix, I also have a choice between "WPA Personal" and "WPA Personal Mixed" :o [07:49] Stava: that probably allows tkip/aes and ccmp/aes clients [07:50] alright, thats a good thing then [07:50] that is, "mixed" allows both [07:50] you might as well use the not mixed one, because if tkip clients are allowed the same attack can happen [07:50] oh [07:56] I need help setting up a dual boot system with encryption via truecrypt on vista and (of course) luks on ubuntu. Is there anything I should know? [07:56] eugh [07:57] use freeofte on the windows side instead of truecrypt, it'll mount luks volumes === work is now known as Guest8799 [07:57] But can it do full disk encryption with pre-boot authentication ohsix? [07:57] (if the volume is already an accessible format in windows) [07:57] no [07:57] Then thank you but no thank you. [07:57] if that's something you like, you could like; not have a computer, it's more secuire [07:58] if there was a spectrum of silly, and you wanted to be the most secure, it's the most obvious answer [07:59] Well, both ubuntu (via the alternate disk) and windows via truecrypt can do it, I just wanted some help getting them working together [07:59] Emanon: You have physical encryption hard drives? [07:59] hardware encryption* [07:59] you know what's awesome about encrypting everything? you might as well not, because it's about segregation of information, and just throwing an "everything is encrypted" just side steps the issue [08:00] red2kic: no was going to use LUKS and Truecrypt. [08:00] you weren't, because you can't [08:00] not as you wish too, anyways [08:01] Thank you ohsix for being no help whatsoever as well as condescending. This is why I come to #ubuntu; for your shrill and useless monologues. [08:01] you can prepare yourself for such an onslaught by knowing anything about what you're using [08:01] instead of just their names [08:02] Thus my initial question. I choose to use these technologies and wanted to know how best, if at all, they could be used together. [08:02] i misspoke, you know of some of the marketing for truecrypt [08:02] use luks. [08:02] LUKS doesn't work on windows. [08:02] it does [08:03] LUKS volumes can be accessed FROM windows. [08:03] freeofte will let you have an encrypted volume to access from either side, segregate your important encryptables into the bin [08:03] But LUKS cannot be used to facilitate full disk encryption FOR windows. [08:03] I DON'T WANT SECURE CONTAINERS. I WANT FULL DISK ENCRYPTION. HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND. [08:03] is this something you desire with such zeal [08:04] i understand, that doesn't make it not stupid [08:04] full disk encryption is pretty stupid [08:04] you propose to dip your toe into the world of keep my stuff encrypted, and encrypting all your disk is PRETTY AWESOME LOL [08:05] if you have anything that you actually want to keep secure, it's likely less than 100megs, and you would want to combine it with physical security [08:05] how to telnet to my virtual machine OS from my host [08:05] not just have it sitting in your computer which could be easily lost or seized, and you compelled to provide information to access your secure area [08:05] through it i want to see my Apache version [08:06] jiltdil: telnet is pretty old, and doesn't offer encrypted authentication; install openssh-server in the virtual machine and access it with ssh [08:06] ok [08:06] jiltdil: are you trying to telnet to port 80? [08:06] yes [08:06] Is it possible to build for 64-bit systems under 32-bit? [08:06] jiltdil: if you want to see your apache version, use apt-cache policy apache2 [08:07] TheOriginalDude_: yes, as it is possible to build for even less likely architecture pairs [08:07] so what are the libs i need to get? [08:08] Well, this was useless, thank you for being supremely annoying while nor even pretending to offer useful data ohsix. I hope you rot. Goodbye. [08:08] can't get a sample to compile for 64 bit [08:08] depends on what you need to build [08:08] general IO [08:08] TheOriginalDude_: you can croswscompile but its always better to build on a real amd64 system [08:08] building a cgi app [08:09] actually i hide the Apache version number and want to test if it is hidden so i want to connect to it with my host and want tocheck using telnet any idea? [08:09] so intel won't do ? :) [08:09] TheOriginalDude_: amd64 has nothing to do with amd or intel === deegee_1 is now known as deegee [08:10] jiltdil: what about using a browser? [08:10] how do i get the sadard libs for c and c++ for 64-bit in ubuntu? [08:10] jiltdil: you mean you want to connect to the web server to see if the version is displayed? heh, nmap has a version scanner; you can also use a web browser, just go to a page that doesn't exist. if there aren't custom error pages, it will show this information [08:10] ohsix:thanx [08:11] iceroot: please explain what do you want to say ? [08:11] jiltdil: ?? use a browser instead of telnet [08:12] iceroot: how to do that [08:12] jiltdil: you ask how to use a browser? [08:12] jiltdil: go to a page that doesn't exist, as i've said [08:12] ok [08:12] iceroot:oh sorry i misunderstood [08:13] jiltdil: also you can write a phpinfo() file. it shoul always show the browser-version [08:13] ok [08:13] iceroot:ohsix:thanx guys [08:14] anyone knows how to get the 64-bit libs under 32 bit ? [08:14] jiltdil: try nmap -sV -p 80 host [08:14] ok === guntbert is now known as Guest994 [08:14] TheOriginalDude_: I don't think that's possible, and at the very least a bad idea [08:15] TheOriginalDude_, you cross compile them? [08:15] TheOriginalDude_, you cant use 64 on 32 but you can use 32 on 64 === mirco__ is now known as mirco [08:16] an emulator saves the day [08:16] yeah my hosting service want's just 64-bit but i'm under 32-bit [08:16] ohsix: have fun emulation amd64 on i386 [08:16] thought it might be possible [08:16] TheOriginalDude_: amd64 can run 32bit [08:17] TheOriginalDude_: 32 bit cant run amd64 [08:17] iceroot: i do [08:17] i know but they blocked my modules [08:17] TheOriginalDude_: it *might* be possible with VM, but even if it does work, it won't work well [08:17] hi :) the internal mic of my Dell Latitude E6510 doesn't work. Seems related to this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504774 . But the solution (adding options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14 at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf) doesn't work for me. At a guess, it's not the right model written in there, how could I find out what to put in that model value ? [08:17] because of a supposed "security flaw" when running 32 bit under 64 bit [08:18] Elephantman: open termial, type "lspci" without quotes, should tell you your sound card [08:19] Elephantman: theres no right thing to put there, that's the thing; and doing that isn't a fix persay, but a workaround. people that have that work need to report bugs to alsa so they can be fixed. further, your problem might already be fixed in the module backports, you should try them (be sure to remove your modifications before you do) [08:19] is there any way to hide to see Apache version number if somebody is using nmap? [08:19] my screen binks when I play some videos. I uninstalled all dvd and video players and then reinstalled vlc but the whole computer screen keeps blinking. How do i configure my monitor so it's not struggleing to keep up with big videos. [08:19] sounds like the best option is just to switch to 64 bit platform [08:19] TheOriginalDude_: it is [08:19] TheOriginalDude_: as long as your hardware permits it, that certainly would be the best way to do it [08:20] Hi, I recall there once was an option to run the live version from RAM. I however do not see such an option on 10.10, has it been removed? [08:20] TheOriginalDude_: but a "64bit system" can also be a chroot and qemu-system-x86_64 ;] [08:20] gaelfx: aint any use really - Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio [08:20] can you explain what you mean? [08:20] freakynl: are you sure you're not thinking of the memtest on the livecd/usb? [08:21] ohsix: hmm, ok I'll look into that [08:21] gaelfx: yea I'm sure :) [08:21] gaelfx: see here for example for a fix for very old release http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/ [08:21] Elephantman: well, you might try finding out any information you can about how to get that particular chip to work rather than the whole laptop thing [08:21] Also how to hide Apache version number and OS name in ubuntu? [08:21] freakynl: I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm definitely intrigued :D [08:22] gaelfx: with the to ram option it was possible to load the entire CD into RAM, so you could then remove the CD. It's much faster in RAM :) [08:22] help my screen blinks when I play videos with vlc. I got an old computer with 7hundred something ram. [08:23] please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i [08:23] please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i [08:23] freakynl: yeah, I'm starting to get the picture, it sounds pretty sweet, is there any reason that you can't use that guide with a more current version of Live? [08:24] please, am need you help, for remove phpmyadmin from my ubuntu, couses that protact password, and am forget it. can i [08:24] ceo: open Synaptic Package Manager, search for 'phpmyadmi' and purge the package [08:24] ohsix: would the correct backport be linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic or linux-backports-modules-input-maverick-generic ? [08:24] am have do it, and if am install back, am can't uses my new password [08:24] freakynl: the only caveat there seems to be the lack of support for casper [08:25] Elephantman: the alsa ones === Guest78617 is now known as gac [08:25] ceo: did you PURGE or UNINSTALL? [08:25] gaelfx, am have do you ide, for solve my proble, and if i install back am can't used my pssword [08:25] ohsix: ok thanks, I'll try that [08:25] Elephantman: needs a reboot after installation [08:25] purge or install mean ? gaelfx [08:25] ohsix: sure === gac is now known as Guest22372 [08:25] can you give me some command step [08:25] brb [08:26] gaelfx, can you give me some command step for do that. [08:26] ceo: uninstall leaves the configuration files, purge removes them along with the package, so uninstalling would keep the password, purging should get rid of it [08:26] gaelfx: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM toram kernel option might work, going to test it, see the comments/lucid updates section [08:26] gaelfx, what command for purge removes phpmyadmin [08:27] am have used "sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin [08:27] gaelfx, am find some tutor form ubuntu forum, [08:28] ceo try sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin [08:28] ceo: do you know where 'Synaptic Package Manager' is? [08:28] ceo: or what DaPenguin said :P [08:30] oke DaPenguin am will try you ide, for remove myphpmyadmin, but am need ask, what the effect of purge command [08:30] hey, is there any way to make a liveusb that has NVidia drivers installed and WITHOUT persistence? [08:30] ceo: purge uninstalls and removes configuration files [08:30] ceo removes the package and all associated configurations. basically acts like it was never installed [08:31] Hi, how do i reset the root password to nothing, essentially before I *did* set a pass for it (against all recommendations stating not to do so) ? [08:31] and what deferent with sudo apt-get autoremove command [08:31] gaelfx: FYI, it works :), I entered toram in the boot options (in the grub boot line just before the 'splash --') and now I see [08:31] ceo: autoremove removes any packages that are no longer needed [08:32] gaelfx: /dev/shm on /cdrom type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=746468k) [08:32] ceo: autoremove removes packages that were installed as a dependancy, but where the package that originally depended on them is no longer installed [08:32] freakynl: dude, that's awesome, and I can't wait to try it! thanks for the tip [08:32] gaelfx: I have removed the CD (which had a icon show up on the desktop as mounted cd, i don't recall seeing that when booting from cd normally) and can still start package manager etc after removing the CD :) (hadn't started it before, so wasn't cached) [08:33] freakynl: do you know of any way to get nvidia drivers working on the live version? [08:33] gaelfx, if you say that, that mean, am can used sudo apt-get autoclean ? [08:33] are that you mean. [08:34] gaelfx: no soz, it will involve restarting X to load the new drivers and I think the live version shuts down when X stops [08:34] gaelfx: I don't use ubuntu a whole lot tho' :) [08:34] Could anyone tell me how i can a 'ls' to see just the dirs that are in the current dir that i am in ? i'm in a folder with tons of files and directories and i just want to list the directories. [08:34] How to hide Apache version number in ubuntu?

[08:34] after am used apt-get purge phpmyadmin [08:35] ceo: you have another package manager open, close it first [08:35] jiltdil: i'd presume like in any other install, change the variable in the apache config [08:35] ceo, do you have another package manager open? [08:35] ohsix am not open anypackeg [08:35] <|RicharD|> hello i had a problem with a ntfs partition with ubuntu 10.10 [08:35] <|RicharD|> i can't access to files(but i can write) [08:35] no, am not open another package manager am just oopen xcaht for chat with all brotha ubuntu support [08:35] <|RicharD|> and i not know how set 777 [08:36] <|RicharD|> ls -l say: drwx------ 1 riccardo riccardo 4096 2011-03-29 09:24 Web [08:36] chmod 777 dir-or-0file-name-here [08:36] |RicharD|: sudo chmod +rwx [08:36] sudo usermod -p '!' root ???

[08:37] jiltdil: config usually in the dir /etc/apache(2) or /etc/httpd, just use something like 'grep -inr servertokens /etc/apache2' for example [08:37] <|RicharD|> is a hd windows partitioned 2 times [08:37] bigMike: you want usermod -L [08:37] bigMike: ie. sudo usermod -L (username) [08:37] how check my display driver, couse am need run some game, but my driver vga not decth [08:37] ah thanks [08:38] odd that's command is listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root account [08:38] gaelfx: it's actually really ugly to get to work with regular permissions, you need like, allow_other and that other overlay filesystem that adds posix permissions, cuz theres no place for fuse to stash them (though concievably it could store them in alternate streams, it does not) [08:38] <|RicharD|> any suggest ? [08:39] ohsix: fortunately, I don't have to worry about it cause I'm not using NTFS with my Ubuntu at all :D [08:39] ;] [08:39] gaelfx: it can be really confusing with user level sharing when fuse is involved [08:39] quiescens: how to unlock, usermod -U ? [08:39] bigMike: yes [08:40] so the root account is locked by default yet? [08:40] *yes? [08:40] it just won't work, cuz samba can't access them without allow_other, and with allow_other you need proper permissions or stuff can be trashed by anyone [08:40] freaknyl; when i used it shows grep -inr servertokens /etc/apache2 [08:40] /etc/apache2/conf.d/security:19:# ServerTokens [08:40] /etc/apache2/conf.d/security:26:#ServerTokens Minimal [08:40] /etc/apache2/conf.d/security:27:ServerTokens OS [08:40] /etc/apache2/conf.d/security:28:#ServerTokens Full [08:40] jiltdil: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:42] !java | durpa [08:42] gaelfx: posixovl can be mounted allow_other though; since it applies permissions, and accesses the original volume as the same user, it'd be cool if it was automatic though (but there'd be 2 filesystems per mount and it'd be ugly :D) [08:42] durpa: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

I have added "*/1 * * * * echo "TEST" >> /home/morten/output.txt" to my crontab file using crontab -e. The script should be executed every minute, but it doesn't. Any ideas? [09:38] Morten_: And where is that going to echo to? :-) [09:38] i tried everything and command i can think of [09:38] Morten_: Check your maildir in /var/spool [09:38] ehej [09:38] KB1JWQ, okay, ill check that :) [09:38] !sound | theinkman21 [09:38] theinkman21: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[09:42] i think gstreamer works but i'm not sure [09:42] theinkman21: libdvdread4 is for DVD [09:42] gaelfx: you could do a regular install to a usb drive [09:42] how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers it doesn't detect anything... [09:42] ooooh ok [09:42] gaelfx: theres tools for remastering and installing the casper file then resealing it, but it's been a while since i looked [09:42] then what is gstreamer for [09:43] gaelfx: easier to do a regular install [09:43] ohsix: well, the issue is that my CD drive only works on the liveusb version, not a full install, so I was hoping to avoid actually installing [09:43] theinkman21: player backend [09:44] okay i think thats all i need [09:44] ohsix: it's something I've tried to fix on numerous occasions, to no avail. since 10.04 === Maahes is now known as lion_not_Rawr_IA [09:44] gaelfx: isn't it simpler to find out why it isn't working [09:44] ohsix: you would think so, right? === lion_not_Rawr_IA is now known as Maahes [09:44] how do i access this forum from ubuntu [09:45] ohsix: but if you have any other ideas about how to get my DVD drive to work, I'm all ears :D [09:45] theinkman21, i use xchat (irc client) [09:45] gaelfx: you'd need to be running a nonworking system [09:45] how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers it doesn't detect anything... [09:46] okay...if i am running windows 7 and do a full install can i get windows 7 back if i want to? [09:46] without buying it of course [09:46] ohsix: sorry, not quite sure what you mean? [09:46] theinkman21, No; if I understand what you intend. [09:46] gaelfx: you can begin to look when you are currently running the system where the dvd reader doesn't work [09:47] If you reformat your drive, everything on it is lost, including your OS. If you don't have a way to restore it, then of course, it's gone. [09:47] srckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [09:47] se znaeme li [09:47] so in order to re establish a windows operating system i would have to purchase it [09:47] ohsix: ok, I'll pop a disk in and pb some fun stuff for you ;) [09:47] hgfh [09:47] ok thanks xiong [09:48] bnj [09:48] how can I look if I have video card drivers installed? When I click on System->Administrator->Additional Drivers it doesn't detect anything... [09:48] theinkman21, Dunno. I wouldn't make any suggestions for how to install or re-install any version of Windows. Once you go to Ubuntu, you will never look back. -- Okay, so that's a lie; because you will be quite frustrated for about a month. Then, you will fight the world to keep it. [09:49] haha thats funny lol [09:49] theinkman21, It's the difference between working with your computer and fighting it. [09:49] gotta go install 10.10 [09:50] hey there. can anyone confirm or deny that the logitech c270 works and can do 720/720p? [09:50] hi friends,today my system is becoming slow, so i did top in the terminal,i came to know that 99% of memory is earting by indicator applet,why that much of memory is taking,is there any way to stop that process? [09:50] I want to close notifications.. not get rid of them. Just close them. Any way to fix this? [09:50] varun, "indicator applet"? [09:50] xiong:yes,it is showing as indicator applet [09:50] RocketLauncher: "close"? they time out [09:51] varun, What is the actual name of the process? It won't have a space in it (probably). [09:52] is there a guide that could show me how to add a enviroment variable? [09:52] a [09:52] b [09:52] damn i want to make a simple "for" loop in python: "for i in 10:" repeat 10 times? [09:53] does lspci -v | grep VGA show me if I have a driver installed or does it just output the device name...? [09:53] FroztIkon: you basically create a file in /etc/profile.d/ that does it [09:53] xiong, : http://pastebin.com/rz22Zxd9 [09:53] nathic, it will output the device name [09:54] lmontrieux, do you know a method how to check if I have a driver installed for my device? [09:54] varun, Your output was chopped off. You can make your terminal window wider, you know. Looks like the trouble process is 'indicator-applet'; with a dash. [09:54] nathic, what device is it ? [09:54] nathic, there probably is a driver for it in the kernel [09:54] varun, What happens when you kill it? [09:54] lmontrieux , I guess I haven't got a driver installed .. under system-> administration->additional drivers it doesn't show me drivers for my ati graphic card [09:55] xiong: i dont know how to kill that process [09:55] ohsix the thing is, I want to be able to call upon adb from the term without having to be in the same directory [09:55] nathic, there is a driver, but it's the open source one. If there wasn't any you wouldn't see anything on the screen [09:55] nathic, what's the exact model of your graphic card ? [09:56] FroztIkon: then put it somewhere already in your path, if it's just for one user you can edit ~/.profile [09:56] lmontrieux, lspci -v | grep VGA gives me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71da (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [09:56] my flashvideos that I am looking are very slow, and the framerate is not normal, is there a way to fix that ? [09:56] varun, Okay, well, first, point #1: You may always find that you've killed something you'd really rather have left running. So, be aware of that and know how to restart your system if need be. That will start up all processes that should normally be running, including any you've killed (by mistake or intentionally). Okay? [09:57] to kill a process : killall [09:57] (easy and bruteforce way to kill a process) [09:57] xiong: ok [09:57] varun, For the rest, well, 'man kill' or 'man killall'. The first takes a PID, the second a process name. [09:57] nathic, if there's no available driver in system->admin.->additional drivers, then I'm afraid there is no proprietary drivers available for that card [09:58] kill -9 [09:58] nathic, you'll have to stick to the free version [09:58] lmontrieux, hmm but Im sure it once showed me some drivers there ... [09:58] nathic, and did you install them? [09:58] ohsix, i don't like waiting for notifications to time out after i read them, i'm a fast reader and sometimes i want notifications and sometimes i don't.. i wouldn't want to disable them because i'd just enable them again after later [09:58] varun, You probably want to try the signal 'TERM' first but that rarely helps; I generally go directly to $ kill -s KILL offending-pid and hope there are no side effects. There usually are not. [09:59] varun, As usual, read the man page before doing too much tinkering. [09:59] lmontrieux, thing is I recently did a reinstallation of ubuntu 10.10 and before the installation my system was running with no problem.. now I can't even turn on visual effects in my appearence menu [09:59] xiong:k [09:59] RocketLauncher: the point of notifications in ubuntu is to notify, not to have to dismiss or change your focus of attention, just ignore them until they go away, if you have a particular app that keeps a notification open way too long you should look at changing ti [10:00] what [10:00] varun, If you kill the offending process, the problem will almost certainly go away; but that function may now be gone from your system; so you'll probably try a restart -- although you may just ignore that feature. If the problem reappears after restart, then it's time to study it closely. [10:00] nathic, mmmh, that' weird [10:00] nathic:Happened to me me to. Were you connected to the internet during install? [10:01] nathic, were you running 10.10 before, or a previous version? [10:01] serverfel, jep [10:01] Hmm... [10:01] lmontrieux, had 10.10 before [10:01] lmontrieux , but LTS version and now I've installed from alternate cd [10:01] nathic, that shouldn't make a difference [10:02] xiong: what is the command kill indicator-applet [10:02] lmontrieux, and last time I upgraded from 10.04 [10:02] nathic, have you checked this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [10:03] varun, The commands are 'kill' or 'killall'. You can kill any process with those commands, including some essential ones; so the first point is to remember you may have to reboot if you're careless in what you kill; the second point is to be careful what you kill. [10:03] ohsix, I like to be notified and to be able to close it when I'm done reading it. My wifi notification just says "House - Connected". It's a bother [10:03] nathic: what gpu du you have? [10:03] nathic, is it an old card? [10:03] lmontrieux, I just simply don't have any idea what graphic card I have .. just know that it's an ati fireGL [10:04] help. my screen blinks when I play videos with vlc. I got an old computer with 7hundred something ram. [10:04] lmontrieux, but which series ... can I look that up in my system [10:04] xiong: yes,what i did is : kill indicator-apple ,but the output it is saying is bash: kill: indicator-apple: arguments must be process or job IDs [10:04] RocketLauncher: perfect, disable notifications from nm-applet then [10:04] nathic, lspci should tell you that [10:04] xiong: what is the exact command to kill the indicator-appl [10:05] varun, Expand the width of your terminal window. The process is almost certainly named 'indicator-applet', not 'indicator-apple'. [10:05] RocketLauncher: look in /apps/nm-applet in gconf-editor [10:05] xiong: I expnded the window,it is showing indicator-apple only [10:05] nathic: on my other laptop i had mayor issues with my M radeon 7500. Had to do quite a bit of tweaking. Maybe your previous install used a different driver by default. There are many to choose from. The "ati","radeon" etc... [10:05] varun, Please read the man pages; I won't feel comfortable making suggestions unless you study up, because there's a lot more to know that what I can say without retyping the whole man page. [10:06] lmontrieux, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71da 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 71fa but i have no idea what that means... not even google finds that card... [10:06] varun, Dunno. Quit top and try it again. [10:06] aaa [10:06] ohsix, i like those notifications, i'd just like to close them when I'm done reading them.... is there another notifications framework i could use to replace it? [10:06] serverfel, yeah think my old system used another one but which [10:06] xiong, :http://pastebin.com/9VQKzdZV [10:06] varun, There are two ways to kill a process: by process ID or by name. 'kill' kills by PID; 'killall' kills by name. I've already suggested one way to do it. [10:07] xiong: k,i will try,thank you [10:07] RocketLauncher: there probably is, but the point is to notify you of something, not to distract you and have to deal with trivialities [10:07] Hmmm, that's annoying [10:07] serverfel, and how can i choose one? in additional drivers it showes me nothing... [10:07] good morning [10:07] it distracts me for three extra seconds after i read it though :( i'll google [10:08] nathic, could it be this? {“ ATI FireGL V5200 Secondary ,RV530 , 71FA “} [10:08] nathic: im afarid there aint no easy way. Youĺl have to create a xorg.conf file and edit a bit. There are tips on the internet on how to configure the file. By default. Ubuntu 10.10 does not use such a file, but if you create it it will use it. [10:08] like clicking on every single one will be less distracting [10:08] varun, Okay, well, I never really noticed that top clipped the output like that. As I said, it's almost certainly 'indicator-applet'. [10:08] xiong: Thank you,i killed that process,now no problem with system,i will check after reboot === wlosio is now known as wlosio_ === wlosio_ is now known as wlosio [10:09] siema [10:09] lmontrieux , yeah :D might be .. [10:09] i am upwhich version of ubuntu is stable 10.04 lts or 10.10 [10:09] varun, If it runs up 100% CPU again, start writing down notes about it. When does it happen?

[10:10] nathic, ok, so now that you know your card model, have a look at ATI's website to see if it's still supported (see the link I sent you earlier), and if it doesn't then you'll have to follow serverfel 's advice and fiddle with and xorg.conf file [10:11] ysk:which system you are using.i mean which laptop [10:11] its lenova 10 inch idea pad [10:11] notebook [10:11] nathic: the card should work out of the box, but there is some threads on the net. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200 [10:11] i am using 10.04 [10:11] i need to resize my partition [10:13] ah ha, I found the path variable [10:14] nathic: another useful thread http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/145940-ati-video-drivers-mobility-firegl-v5200.html. with the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' commadn metinoed. good one.

[10:17] lmontrieux, serverfel, now with your tips I think I will fix the problem thank you very much for your help [10:17] nathic: thats correct. Youĺl need to create one. 10.10 does not have one by default. newer X system tries to figure out what to du automatically [10:17] nathic, you're welcome [10:18] nathic: i used to pull my hear out with the same issues, if i had any help then i would be grateful. If it still does not work or hangs and freezes, try turning off VESA support. somtimes that also helps. [10:18] whenever I insert any kind of media into my DVD drive, it takes several minutes for it to show up on my desktop, and in the meantime, the system is remarkably unresponsive. could someone help me fix this?

[10:19] also I should note, this behavior does not occur when I'm using the liveusb version of ubuntu [10:19] nathic: sure [10:19] anyone know the command to change the prompt in terminal, without renaming everything, to something other than user@device [10:19] serverfel, hope to see you around .. and maybe I can once help you out :D [10:20] FroztIkon: Change ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile) -- Depends. === Guest98662 is now known as denny [10:20] i have paths set like: mirror_lenny = http://cdn.debian.net/debian for something im using, how would i specify the path for the latest server version?

[11:33] lmontrieux: yes [11:33] austinium: then there is no 100% security [11:34] ohsix: i dont want the user fiddling aroung the settings [11:34] no 100%, but in this case, single user mode is one kernel command line edit away; and if you disable that, a livecd, or anything that can mount it [11:34] austinium, then there's no point in disabling the recovery mode, since the user could simply boot on a livecd or even steal the hard drive. As soon as users have physical access, you need some amount of trust that they won't do anything silly. [11:34] austinium: then you probably want centralized authentication, something that can't be messed with [11:34] austinium, or, just enforce security using a big guard with a big gun :) [11:34] hehe [11:35] canit be done?

[11:46] juniorsa: this channel generally doesn't support the distros based on ubuntu, that aren' tubuntu itself (kubuntu, edubuntu etc) [11:46] I have a problem with apt-get; I have a local repository set up, and I used dpkg-scanpackages to make a Packages.gz file, then put the proper lines in /etc/apt/sources.list; but when I run apt-get update, it says (among other things) "failed to fetch file:/[file path]/Packages.gz File not found". The thing that irks me most is...that precise path DOES exist! What am I doing wrong? I googled, and I'm not finding anything... [11:47] if tracing the root wouldnt you go for debian as ubuntu is based off that? [11:47] juniorsa: and that's a general linux question, if the two interfaces have the same route, and the same metric, traffic will be shared [11:47] juniorsa: but in your case they never will [11:47] juniorsa: if you want to do load balancing between them you'll need to do application level proxying or something, but that can break a lot of websites D: [11:47] ohsix: right they do have the same metric, but not the same gateway, is there a howto somewhere that might help? [11:47] squid? [11:48] yep [11:48] austinium [11:48] but sites see different client addresses unless you have some very special setup which actually breaks efficient load balancing [11:48] austinium, ubuntu 10.04 [11:48] night everyone [11:49] ohsix: I don't want to change the commandline, I'd like to set some environment variable or something so it behaves like it did earlier, but can't find any info about it.

[12:17] Dannyd: theres a thing to dump the current configuration but i forget it at the moment, you can grep /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ though [12:18] LjL: so is "apt-get --purge remove packagename\n" "apt-get autoclean\n" == "apt-get autoremove packagename"? [12:19] I found the difference in the manfiles to sar aswell [12:19] denny: == "apt-get --purge autoremove packagename", i think [12:19] They removed 1 sentance in the description of the command [12:19] The default value for the count parameter is 1.

[12:44] my bluetooth will not work, this is the message I get: Failed to set Bluetooth power [12:44] The error reported is: Connection timed out [12:44] any help? [12:44] can anyone tell me how to fix this error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/586824/ [12:45] ohsix, well, not exactly, the part that is easily replaceable by taking *BSD (* in Free, Open, Net) has been open source, Apple did not exactly help the community, the part that makes OSX what the user experiences has never been opensource. [12:45] pider: sounds like some of the software might have been uninstalled [12:45] ohsix, although there is an opensource reimplementation in OpenStep or so I think. [12:45] yacc: large parts, bro; darwin comes to mind [12:46] gcc, llvm; but this is offtopic, the assertion was just false [12:46] I have installed blueman, because the default will nor work either === RobinHood2 is now known as RobinHood [12:47] pider: better to figure out why the defaults don't work than possibly muck up the situation with stuff thats even less well supported [12:47] so if i deleted /usr/bin, and i copy a /usr/bin from somewhere, is there a way using apt-get to reinstall the missing files? [12:47] pepsi: debsums can give you a list of missing/changed files [12:48] ok I install the default program [12:48] you shouldn't need to install anything, ubuntu-desktop brings in all the things for gnome to manage most bluetooth devices [12:51] I get only the message that I sshall turn the bluetooth on [12:51] and nothing happens [12:52] pider: did you restart after removing blueman? [12:53] nope, I will now [12:53] How do I add existing user to sudoers file. I know there is a command with -G option, but just cant remember it. [12:53] zelda: that doesn't add people to the sudoers, but usermod -G can add users to the "admin" group [12:54] i wonder if anyone can help , im looking for some DJ softwear ? somethink like i can add playlist's and it will auto mix ? anyidears ?

[13:12] here is picture of the bluetooth window:[url=http://bildr.no/view/853077][img]http://bildr.no/thumb/853077.jpeg[/img][/url] [13:12] I didn't think so, but that's the only thing out of the ordinary that I did prior to the sound no longer working. :) I can't remember if I updated yesterday [13:13] Dr_Willis: i just want to lock the screen in CLI. dunno if its possible [13:13] !info vlock [13:13] Pici: where and how are the hardlinks created [13:13] vlock (source: vlock): Virtual Console locking program.

[13:14] Dr_Willis: k ty [13:14] Shervin, rtorrent is included in ubuntu, why are you compiling it? [13:14] jrib: does it include xmlrpc-c? [13:14] Shervin: did yoi install all the needed dependencies and dev files needed? [13:14] hi [13:14] Sonne: he may want the latest version for one thing. [13:14] Dr_Willis: yeah, i'm pretty sure [13:14] Shervin: I don't know [13:15] i get this error: su -m openldap bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied [13:15] any idea? [13:15] LjL: what would be "whatever" for external harddrive [13:15] ? [13:15] Shervin, it depends on xmlrpc libs, so i'd assume the ubuntu packages supports it [13:15] Shervin: you used the sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME to pull them all in? (i think thats right) [13:15] Is there a command to tell ubuntu to look for the sound card? [13:15] snapp: why are you doing that? [13:16] Dr_Willis: It said that I didn't need to install anything [13:16] snapp, that's to be expected, why are you using -m?

Youy may want to see if theres a ppa for it with newer versions [13:16] canyone remember the name ?

[13:17] majidkhan: could be anything.. /dev/sdXX [13:17] snapp: what command do you have a problem with that requires you to do "su -m openldap"? [13:17] Pici: don't think so [13:17] majidkhan: check with 'sudo fdisk -l' perhaps [13:17] Dr_Willis: ok i'll try those things out. Thanks guys :) [13:17] Sonne: because? [13:17] anyone ? [13:17] that's to be expected? [13:18] the tool that can count the lines of code in a codebase [13:18] I had isntalled it few days ago, just forgot the name [13:18] so lame [13:18] can't find the command in my bash_history either :(' [13:18] Reinstalling Ubuntu would be overkill just to fix a sound issue, right? === stevo_ is now known as skoodleedoo [13:18] Guest34911: yes [13:18] Dr_Willis: what does "sd" stand for in this context?

(and all of this for maverick if possible ;) [13:29] pumeust: it's over when it's over :D it can't count the number of files it finds as it might recover less or more, and without knowing something about it it can't really give you a time, are you watching the dir it's copying files too? it might give some idea of the progress [13:30] guibou: i recall seeing some ppa-search tool that may help you find it if it esits [13:30] thanks Dr_Willis [13:30] Where does VIM put the config file in Ubuntu (10.10)?

[13:30] pider: hm, that bluetooth dialogue shouldn't be showing that button, the device should be working [13:30] !root | nick_name [13:30] nick_name: 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 [13:30] ohsix, i'm not sure how to find the dir [13:30] Dr_Willis: apart from the ppa builtin search, I dont find anything else ? [13:31] nick_name: you do it with passwd like anything else, but you really should use sudo, if you want a root shell use sudo -s [13:31] guibou: proberly not one then. [13:31] majidkhan, you can also look at /dev/disk/by-* [13:31] zvacet, does seem to afftect Opera there I think [13:31] still shows the same error [13:31] ohsix: why live cd can access as root without prompting for password? [13:31] majidkhan, take makes for slightly better names than the usual /dev/sd? [13:31] nick_name: because its set up that way. [13:32] Dr_Willis: canIprotect it? [13:32] nick_name: because that's useful, also; the "ubuntu" account has no password, thus it doesn't ask you for "ubuntu"-s password to change to root [13:32] majidkhan, and if you want to mount some device always at the same path, the uuid is probably the thing you want to look at. [13:32] nick_name: you mean add a password for root to the live cd.. guess you could. i dont see why. [13:32] thevishy: check if you have partner repository ( I think Opera is there) [13:32] nick_name: if you set a passwd for the "ubuntu" account it'll ask for it when you use sudo [13:32] zvacet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/586838/ [13:32] right zva [13:32] hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [13:33] hi all === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:33] ohsix: so livecd root uses ubuntu account and i just need to set password for it?

[13:34] pumeust: ah, i've not used it in a while, i couldn't say [13:35] ohsix: it shows ubuntu user does not exist [13:35] :( [13:35] Dr_Willis: Currently, appart from testing every boost ppa, there is no way to know if they support python 3 ;) Btw, thank for your proposition [13:35] of coruse setting a password on a live cd. wont set it permently. Unless you are using a live-usb with a persistant save perhaps. [13:35] ohsix: im using ubuntu server btw [13:35] nick_name: then that's not a livecd bro [13:35] i know [13:36] pider: i don't know if there has, you'd do well to check launchpad.net's bugs; and possibly googling information about your controller, or try and find threads with the bluetooth side of the software (bluez, gnome) and the linux kernel mailing lists for bluetooth [13:36] ohsix: anyone with access to livecd can change my system as root? [13:36] nick_name: anyone with physical access to your computer can do anything, far worse things than changing a password [13:37] ok so there is no need for passwords [13:37] i neeed to disable cdrom on boot [13:37] lol [13:37] for everyone [13:37] nick_name: I don't think you can deploy bios settings [13:38] deploy? [13:38] nick_name: but you can pull it out of fstab [13:38] sry my english is not that good [13:38] nick_name: physical access is always a pretty tricky issue to solve. [13:38] nick_name: remove the fstab statement for /dev/cdrom [13:38] encase the PC in epoxy :) [13:38] :P [13:38] ohsix: thanks! I will try to find a solution later! [13:39] soop: that won't keep them from booting it with the bios [13:39] what you might need, if you are worried about people booting your machine from CD, or stealing the hard drive or whatever, is going to be full disk encryption. [13:39] soop: i dont think there is one for the cdrom by default.. gnome auto-mounts it as needed [13:39] pider: sorry i couldn't offer more [13:39] soop: what is the command? [13:39] pider: my experience with it is when it's working :] [13:39] 大家好 [13:39] nick_name sudo nano -w /etc/fstab [13:40] dr_willis: seriously? ... you'd think it would have to be told where its devices are ... it's not like a cdrom is a "hotplug" device~ [13:40] if you want a special password policy or special storage (ldap or something behind nss) you do that with pam, or nss; if you want people to not change the password, simply make it so pam refuses credential changes for that user [13:40] Dr_Willis: he's using -server [13:41] soop: and really, yes; no need for an fstab entries since udev wakes up the pertinent parts for udisks to know of something, and for something like nautilus to automount it === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil === _UsUrPeR__ is now known as _UsUrPeR_ === darkdevil is now known as Guest78108 === Guest78108 is now known as Guest48150 [13:42] so what do i do with fstab [13:42] anybody ever tried to test USB C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter. the speaker channel is working OK, but the MIC input is not working... [13:42] using wget I want it to store in different file name. [13:42] nick_name: in any case editing fstab or otherwise preventing cdrom from mounting won't stop anyone from booting from a livecd into your comp [13:42] ye [13:42] why does my system monitor say '1.1 GiB of 5.8 GiB' when my pc has 6gb ram? [13:42] thats why i talked about the bios [13:42] :D [13:42] and it won't stop someone from running "mount" [13:42] kubanc: edit your sound preferences to use the input from them [13:43] does ubuntu comes with firewall? how to disable it? === iceblue is now known as iamiceblue [13:43] pumeust: some ram is used by the kernel and other things that aren't reported as usable to user space === iamiceblue is now known as _iceblue_ [13:43] phoenixsampras: its disabled byd default [13:43] nick_name: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/lockdown.html.en [13:43] !ufw | phoenixsampras [13:43] phoenixsampras: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [13:43] phoenixsampras: linux comes with a firewall [13:43] soop: cannot use GUI [13:43] nick_name so these systems aren't running gnome? [13:43] zeroburn, i'm trying it, but it seems that nothing is working... [13:43] browser for CLI? [13:44] hehe [13:44] nick_name: w3m should already be installed. [13:44] could you not change the permissions on mount? [13:44] thanks ohsix i was wondering if something was wrong with the ram [13:44] 有没有人在？ [13:44] kubanc: explain what you are trying? [13:44] nick_name: links, lynx [13:44] nick_name: lynx ;) [13:44] guampa: w3m should be isntalled by default. [13:44] nick_name: links is great [13:44] nick_name sudo apt-get install lynx <--- console based web browser [13:44] nick_name: links [13:44] Pici: good to know [13:44] nah forget im gonna use firefox 4 [13:44] cli version [13:45] im haveing trouble finding dvd95 software..any idea of a wesite or prompt [13:45] im a bit confused on computertemp, which should i select "ACPI", "kernel i2c sensors" or "kernel i2c sensors (hwmon)" to monitor the processor?

[13:46] ohsix ah ok [13:47] ljsoftnet: other useful sensors can be on i2c though [13:47] i dont know [13:47] kubanc: oka try this: system-preference-sound, then under the tab that says input, you have a list of input devices, does your audio device show up there?

[13:51] it's a shame that none that i know of actually work like dvdshrink, dvdshrink does bitrate shaving and is very fast [13:51] oh i'm sorry disregard my last question [13:52] it was the wrong disk sorry lol [13:52] how do i disable retry of wget? [13:52] Connecting to thefisherman.com|75.99.9.14|:80... failed: Connection timed out. [13:52] I dont think you want to be trying to access a disk while testdisk is working on it.

[13:53] but then again i still dont know if its unmounted or busy [13:53] but then again i still dont know if its unmounted or busy [13:53] pizzas: probably eth0 [13:53] dvd95_1.2p0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb this is the file i downloaded should it work [13:53] Dr_Willis, oh i didnt know, i been accessing it, i better stop [13:54] pizzas: the number after inet addr on the eth0 device [13:54] theinkman21: you can have software center install it, you shouldn't need to look for any debs [13:54] soop the eth0 inet addr: [13:54] im having problem with partition manager [13:54] pizzas: or whichever one gives you an actual address of something like 10.something.something.something or 192.something.something.something [13:54] Move partition ‘/dev/sda4’ to the right by 97.00 KiB and shrink it from 150.51 GiB to 120.01 GiB: Error [13:54] majidkhan: ugh, you're trying to repartition an HDD that might be failing? :| [13:55] pizzas: worstcase scenario ... ping your hostname from your windows machine ... it should resolve to the ip [13:55] brb printing stuff [13:55] soop that is right, got it. If I go to the windows host and try "run" then goto that ip, in never finds it. [13:56] Dr_Willis, i'm thinking i should start over anyways...i dont even know where the files are being copied to. maybe i should start over and pay attention [13:56] ubuntu is freezing very often and for trivial reasons, is there a way to know what's cosing it to freeze? [13:56] pizzas: do you have the samba client/server instaled on your ubuntu host? [13:56] bahaa: freezing in what way? [13:56] bahaa: how do you know its trivial if you don't know what it is?:D [13:56] NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE! [13:56] The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was [13:56] and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired. [13:56] why is it? [13:56] majidkhan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:56] zeroburn: yes samba is installed on ubuntu [13:57] majidkhan chkdsk /r implies /f ;) [13:57] pizzas: can you ping from your ubuntu machine to your windows machine with IP? [13:57] quant, ohsix: it just stops responding, and I cant' even move the mouse or do anything, the last time was one minute ago, when I switched between pidgin and firefox [13:58] bahaa: it's probably a hardware overheating problem [13:58] Dr_Willis, is there any harm in running testdisk over and over on a disk if its not damaged? it may take me a few tries before i figure it out [13:58] zeroburn: I do not know how to do that [13:58] how can i rip an icon from an .exe file without screenshot? [13:58] quant, I don't think so, the computer is cold, I think it's software [13:58] zeroburn: from where do I do that? how?

[13:59] bahaa: syslog? [14:00] pizzas: terminal can be found at Applications - accesories - terminal [14:00] ruan, I'll try, does it record what happened before a force reboot? [14:00] bahaa: possibly [14:00] bahaa: are you running natty? or do you have an intel video card [14:00] (zeroburn): ping sometimes get blocked though [14:00] zeroburn: I know where the terminal is but not my windows ip :| [14:01] ohsix, I think it's msi [14:01] ohsix, what's natty?

Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [14:01] how can i check my svn version? [14:01] aron__: which svn application? [14:02] Hiyas [14:02] pizzas: shoe havent worked op windows in looooong time... try in the command prompt typing ipconfig? I think, ill boot a vmware windows just now to follow your steps [14:02] ruan, ubottu: I'm ruunig mavrik koala :D, 10.10 [14:02] aron__: look for an help/'about' menu though [14:02] bahaa: look at the output of lspci for something like 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [14:03] hmm,now trying ndiswrapper, driver is loaded according to ndiswrapper but no inrterface in system/admin/network tools / devices [14:03] bahaa: maverick meerkat [14:03] aron__: svn --version for the package: apt-cache policy subversion) [14:03] ruan, thanks:) [14:03] ohsix, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] [14:03] bahaa: ok, then you dont, thanks [14:03] ruan and jrib: thanks. [14:03] ohsix, thank you [14:03] bahaa: does the mouse cursor still move during these freezes? [14:03] ohsix, nope [14:04] zeroburn: got it to work with ipconfig [14:04] bahaa: ok, i haven't got much to suggest then :\ [14:04] ohsix, thanks [14:04] nm, net just came up [14:04] bahaa: there are logs in /var/log though, you can scour them for information if it isn't a kernel panic [14:05] pizzas: oka yes i see it is the correct command, now the line that says "IP-address" is your LAN IP, the one you want to ping from your ubuntu machine [14:05] how do LAN ips work? every machine that is on the same internet connection? [14:05] ohsix, I'm reading in syslog, but the problem it gives PID not apps names [14:05] zeroburn: when I ping it keeps repeating a string of numbers [14:06] ruan: IPv4? And can you be more specific with your question? [14:06] ruan: dhcp gives them out, or they are static; other machines that want to contact machines in the lan ask who owns which ip, and get a mac address in the reply; then they communicate directly [14:06] I'm using ubuntu desktop over xubuntu, can I make it pure ubuntu without reinstallation ? [14:06] pizzas: oka goto paste.ubuntu.com and paste the output of the ping command, and please leave the url after you pasted here for me to chek the output [14:06] MeanEYE: yeah ipv4 [14:07] ruan: what specificially are you interested in? [14:07] bahaa: yep, just install ubuntu-desktop, it's a virtual package that will bring everything in [14:07] bahaa: after that, if you want; you cvan remove xubuntu-desktop and the packages no longer being used should be cleaned up [14:08] ohsix, I have ubuntu-desktop but the login and such are all xubuntu [14:08] bahaa: theres ways to change them back. but i rarely bother. :) [14:08] bahaa: i'm not sure how to switch all the theming if you already have ubuntu-desktop installed [14:08] MeanEYE: well, how they are assigned [14:08] ohsix, and even I've read xubuntu in syslog [14:08] even I'm not using it [14:08] !! [14:08] zeroburn ok I did that [14:09] ruan: they can be assigned automatically if a dhcp server exists on the net, or manually [14:09] bahaa: system - administration - login acreen [14:09] ruan: they can be either static or dynamic. Static ones you assign by hand. Dynamic ones are assigned by DHCP server. [14:09] zeroburn 192.168.1.33 [14:09] pizzas: oka the last part of the url is a few digits, i need them to view your paste [14:09] zeroburn, how to get red of it? [14:10] anyone know about kernel tunables? [14:10] zeroburn a few digits? I am not sure what you mean [14:10] bahaa: red or rid? dont you want the login screen to show? [14:10] ChogyDan: which ones, they're all documented in Documentation/ in your typical kernel tree [14:10] zeroburn, I want the box to be pure ubuntu [14:11] pizzas: after you pasted the console output of the ping command at http://pate.ubuntu.com it redirects you to another page, and i need that page's URL to view the paste you made [14:11] I'm afraid it's making trouble [14:11] bahaa: xubuntu uses gdm and just set a differnt gdm theme i belive. [14:11] ohsix: specifically, Im trying to find out about sampling_down_factor. I'll look for that Documentation folder [14:11] bahaa: oka, bottom right there is a button that says unlock, click it to unlock the settings (it will ask for a password) [14:11] zeroburn http://paste.ubuntu.com/586851/ [14:12] zeroburn, you're talking in xubuntu? [14:12] ChogyDan: cpu-freq/governors.txt [14:12] zeroburn, or in login? [14:12] zeroburn I only pasted one line, it goes on and on like that I can not stop it in fact. [14:12] pizzas: oka that means your ubuntu machine sees the windows machine [14:12] ChogyDan: considering this is what you're interested in, what are you actually trying to do? [14:12] pizzas: ctrl C [14:13] bahaa: after you are loged in [14:13] zeroburn :) that stopped it [14:13] ohsix: test it :) see how much it boosts performance [14:13] zeroburn, in xubuntu or ubuntu-dsktop-edition ? [14:13] pizzas: its the escape sequence for any console command, remember it :) [14:13] i hope performance isn't as vague as it actually is as stated ;] [14:14] bahaa: rather boot into the plain ubuntu, that way i can follow your steps.. [14:14] zeroburn that would be hot tip number 007 I will remember it [14:14] ChogyDan: you can turn off the governor and run the cpus at 100% too; default values are pretty good to follow "Average" workloads [14:14] zeroburn, where should I press? [14:14] bahaa: where are you atm? in the loging screen settings? [14:15] ChogyDan: you're pretty much just trading off for power, too; and if power isn't a concern you could just disable it and it'll go all fast, all the time; wasting all the energy in the world ;] [14:15] ohsix: fwiw, the ondemand governor saps about %30 of my cpu strength [14:15] zeroburn, I'm using the box, so I'm in ubuntu-desktop using xchat [14:15] pizzas: haha noprob. Oka now can your windows machine see your ubuntu machine with a ping? [14:15] Can I install Gnome 3 on Maverick and be able to select it from the logon screen together with the old gnome or does it just replaces the old one? [14:15] bahaa: oka good, now open up System - Administration - Login screen [14:16] ChogyDan: if thats the case you want to adjust the tunable that picks transitioning to higher power/speed states, not transition down [14:16] i got a new router using wpa security..my internet works, but every 10 minutes or so it stops for about 30 seconds..any ideas? [14:16] zeroburn, ok [14:16] hello [14:17] bahaa: oka now bottom left there is a button that says unlock, press it and type in the password of the current account [14:17] zeroburn, I've selected ubuntu [14:17] HI all, Im having very strange problem, Im using ssh keys to login from remote machine to my server, passing su root -c /root/script.sh script_var === fcitpd is now known as HChat [14:17] but the script doesnt recieve script_var [14:17] zeroburn, I've selected ubuntu-desktop-edition [14:17] zeroburn: no it timed out [14:17] anyone knows whys that ?! [14:17] bahaa: then that should be the defaul sesion when you log in from now on [14:18] hi all [14:18] zeroburn, and before the login there is this screen that shows xubuntu with the mouse icon, do you know it/ [14:18] im having very strange issue here [14:18] hi [14:18] Slaam everyone [14:18] zeroburn, how can I replace xubuntu with ubuntu and the buttons turning on and off below it? [14:18] pizzas: oka, so the problem is either firewall or your ubuntu machine, explain your network settup please, aswell as any antivirus software you have [14:18] ericJinOhio, sounds like the router is doing some kind essid/broadcast recycle [14:19] bahaa: you mean the bootscreen? [14:19] zeroburn, yes [14:20] so i'm in problems again [14:20] bahaa: oka give me sec [14:20] I have a windows 7 and ps3 too...it doesn't occur on there..or its so fast its not noticeable..that at least gives me something to google though [14:20] my SD card got corrupted (dmesg shows a few Filesystem Errors) [14:20] zeroburn: My host is a 32bit win vista with kaspersky internet security 2011 and I am running a ubuntu 10.10 on a virtualbox [14:21] fixing or formatting the card is not a problem for me, but it is for Ubuntu (Read-only file system no matter if i try doing it via gui, the disk utility or mkfs.msdos) [14:21] I think I filled my HD and now my VM can't run [14:21] I'll probably have to redo everything [14:21] zeroburn, where can I delet a package that update manager has downloaded? (like apt-get claer does) [14:21] let me write down the error, I can't quite paste it from there [14:21] zeroburn: I just paused protection of kaspersky and tryed the ping again with no luck [14:21] ericJinOhio: is it an 802.11n device & router? [14:21] oh hi bildramer [14:22] ohsix: up_threshold? I dunno. The sampling_down_factor was supposed to prevent the cpu from changing frequencies as much, which I think was my prob. It would bump up to a higher freq, than drop down, bouncing between 2 cores. Anyway, I really don't know. I don't even see the documentation for that tunable :( [14:22] zeroburn, I want to reinstall the latest kernal so maybe it fixes the freeze prob [14:22] no, G [14:22] ChogyDan: it's in Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt [14:22] hello, how can i activate the nvidia driver? [14:22] how can i make nautilus open all folders with 33% view size? setting that on edit--->preferences in nautilus won't fix it, when i open some folders i never opened they are shown at 50% [14:22] bahaa: /etc/apt [14:22] ohsix: what version of the kernel? [14:23] it's a git tree, but it's been there for as long as the governors have been [14:23] pizzas: hmmm thats funny, the ubuntu machine, does it get its networksettings from a DHCP server (such as a router) [14:23] zeroburn, didn't work, I want the packages with .dep [14:23] bahaa: look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-210268.html [14:24] bghj, admin/additional hardware [14:24] problem with config server, gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256 [14:24] what could that be? [14:24] ericJinOhio: is the client an intel wireless card? [14:24] bahaa: /var/cache/apt/archives [14:24] zeroburn: you ask things I do not know :| I do not know how to check that either. [14:24] how to restart my xserver? [14:25] let me check..i know its an older wifi card (4+ years) [14:25] thanks BluesKaj [14:25] zeroburn, that's it [14:25] pizzas: oka, how is the 2 PCs connected to each other? [14:25] bghj: log out, then log back in [14:25] zeroburn: this is one pc [14:25] ohsix: I'm pretty sure the sampling_down_factor was added 3 months ago [14:25] ohsix: i'd like to do it another way [14:25] ChogyDan: ok [14:25] zeroburn: ubuntu is in a virtualbox [14:25] ChogyDan: Date: Tue Jan 25 20:12:41 2011 +0530 [14:25] bahaa: oka awsum, did you read the forum I reffered you to, for the splash screen change.. [14:25] to be exact :D [14:26] ChogyDan: but it says documentation was added, not the parameter [14:26] pizzas: oooh that changes the whole ball game, what virtual box do you use?

[14:26] zeroburn: Oracle VM virtualbox [14:27] hello [14:27] pizzas: oka gimme a sec [14:27] What happened to the intrepid archive?? === zeeek is now known as Guest91351 [14:27] great, it gets sillier [14:27] lol [14:27] not only i can't format the SD card because of fat filesystem errors making it read-only [14:27] now i accidentally ejected the whole SD card reader [14:27] ohsix: and on google, it says that it and the documentation have been removed, even though I still see the tunable on my machine (which is 2.6.38 atm) o well, Im confused :) [14:27] and as it's internal i can't just (un)plug it [14:27] zeroburn, thanks I'm giving it a shot, but isn't it a problem that they are working on 6.06? (so old) [14:27] asiekierka: i love doing that! haha [14:28] ohsix is only a reebot left [14:28] asiekierka: you can try rmmod usb-storage, then modprobe usb-storage [14:28] root@asie-ubuntu:/etc# rmmod usb-storage [14:28] ERROR: Module usb_storage is in use [14:28] your ubuntu is trolling [14:28] ChogyDan: my tree is current, theres no removal in the log [14:28] it's a Ralink RT2500, i did a lshw (not sure if thats the best way) [14:28] bahaa: no not realy, the basics stay the same, or try: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Change-Ubuntu-Bootsplash-Theme-55237.shtml [14:28] so not only i can't format a card to fix it because it's corrupted [14:28] now i can't remove a module because it's in use [14:28] one momet [14:28] moment* [14:29] pizzas: I dont know the virtual box you are using [14:29] ericJinOhio: those problems are either in the client and its driver, or in the qos/power options the router might be doing [14:29] fixed THAT, at least [14:29] ericJinOhio: but all the specific cases i'm familiar with have been excluded [14:30] hi [14:30] that didn't help [14:30] reboot it is [14:30] I'll try to get an updated driver...if other machines are fine, maybe it's just specific to this machine [14:30] pizzas: read the help file at: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Advanced_Networking_Linux that might give you some insight into how to setup the network [14:30] ericJinOhio: well, you can try the module backports if you want a "newer" driver; don't install the vendor driver or anything from source if you can help it [14:31] when you do a lshw, does that really detect the hardware or just the driver operating it? [14:31] ericJinOhio: but given the timeframe and the device, i don't know of any big fixes that would be pertient [14:31] ericJinOhio: it asks the OS, checks lspci, does a few things, it's just a uniform way to look at stuff a certain way [14:31] ericJinOhio, sudo lshw -C network [14:31] debating if I need to open the machine up and see whats really inside [14:32] zeroburn, cool :) I've never thought about what I've read now :) ( a personal splash login screen ;) ) [14:32] ericJinOhio: lspci would be the final word; cuz if the device is lying about its vendor/device id; it won't work anyways [14:32] zeroburn, but I think I'll leave it to the weekend :D [14:32] bahaa: haha, its one way to present yourself a "geek" to your friends :D [14:32] zeroburn:http://www.virtualbox.org/ [14:33] bahaa: well enjoy poking around === chue is now known as rose === rose is now known as chue8 [14:34] zeroburn, thanks man :D [14:34] hmm, I need to "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" each time I reboot for the usb wireless adapter to become visible - where's the best place and how to automate that? === chue8 is now known as rose [14:34] ok, confident I know what cards inside...at least I have something to google now, thank you all [14:34] zeroburn, ohsix, ruan, : thanks a lot guys.

[14:37] denismfm: try adding the command you use as a "startup aplication" might solve your problem, it ugly, but should work [14:37] ah [14:38] denismfm: did you try installing the module backports, it includes updated drivers [14:38] hi guys [14:38] so I just configured vpnc but it is vpn for all services, is there any way to configure a vpn to only redirect one service and not all of them?

[14:40] zeroburn: yes I would agree, I have been at it for a long time with endless frustration. Is there a much better virtual machine out there? [14:40] does any1 play black ops? [14:40] denismfm: i'm on natty so i can't tell you the package name, but apt-cache search backports should have a package with wireless in the name in it [14:40] ohsix great, but this is a 64bit m/c and the other is 32 bit, so using package manager to get it from this ,m/c will get the 64 bit one [14:40] zech, wrong place =/ [14:40] ok lol nvm [14:40] you guy do php? [14:40] ohsix, I know, I have a socks tunnel running just fine, but that does not work for everything [14:41] zeroburn: this is just the first free one that i came accross [14:41] or html? or both?

[14:54] intall [14:54] DarsVaeda: just guessing here.. but some how you need FF to connect on the port assigned to the ssh tunnel.. simply fireing it up and going to localhost doesn't mean *remote* by default [14:54] zeroburn: did you deleted the panel, or just some items? [14:54] DarsVaeda: ssh is a bit different in that regard from VPN [14:55] sipior, good, it works. why the crontab file cannot have its suffix? I used the suffixed crontab file for some years [14:55] anyway , thank you very much. [14:55] armando: just some iems, or rather just one item but it removed the area with for eg the sound preference thingy aswell (where you click to change the system volume without going into system sound) [14:56] zheng_: it's a policy established by the run-parts script, i believe.

[15:12] mymeatinyourseat: VLC [15:12] VLC plays pretty much everything [15:12] because i want to have my ipod out like normal but it hooked up via usb to my laptop in my backpack that would be running so then i could run like aircrack and stuff. since it would be conspicuous some places to have a laptop [15:12] ubuntu: it's the total block allocation for those files. [15:13] siminm: they do not need the cpu at the memont that's why they are sleeping [15:13] c-fern|mobile: k. Don't know [15:13] siminm: apps mostly sleep, rarely run; so it probably has nothing to do with screen [15:13] sipior, how can we count that block allocation.

[16:17] no idea [16:17] rhin0: once you have the basics in place you can get down to the more specialist areas [16:17] rhin0: no, make sure it's on [16:17] I do not want to have to go on a week long course on NFS -- I just want a solution "speed up NFS on ubuntu 10.04" [16:17] also look at the mount options, it's worth whlie reading the man page to work out what's best for your network, eg: the nowait option [16:18] Hi, I was testing a few new distro's out last night, and one of them was mandriva. But it seems to have messed up my partition table a bit. grub still works and I can boot but no OS seems to be able to see the partitions on my boot disk. Its just 1 big unused partition. I don't want to format yet. any ideas? [16:18] can anyone help me with my grub2?

[16:19] naomi_: You need the canonical partner archive [16:20] i have no idea what that is. i've only been using linux like 3 days. complete noob. [16:20] doing ./run.sh gives permission denied, even after doing sudo chmod +x run.sh [16:20] Is there a general linux chan I could go to then? [16:20] #linux [16:20] mm, sounds logical :) [16:20] lol. [16:20] or #linuxhelp i think.

[16:22] urandom will do [16:23] I'm getting the old Dbus error when connecting my iTouch (4.2.1) to my Ubuntu (Maverick Meerkat) PC. I've tried "sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" which does not fix the problem. [16:23] ok, network tools shows the interface, ifconfig / iwconfig show the interface, but the options under the network manager are greyed out / disabled - any suggestions? === MegaMInd is now known as armitage [16:24] hedkandi: depends on the service. If it's still using an old sysv-init style start script, use sysv-rc-conf. If it's an upstart script, then read its init script in /etc/init and see if it provides a "nice" way to disable the service. If not, then simply add "never" as a starting condition. === Synergy is now known as Guest19072 [16:24] hello, how can I mount a pair of raid1 hdds to filesys in Ubuntu? [16:25] Does anyone know if ntp.conf supports networks, or do I have to list individual server ip's for the machines that get time for my ntp server [16:25] jrib, am I right in thinking files in /etc/init.d are all run on boot, and in /etc/init on login? [16:25] hedkandi: no [16:25] lixinfish: have a look at manpages of mdadm [16:25] so what is the difference? [16:26] hedkandi: /etc/init.d is where sysv-init scripts are stored. /etc/init is where the upstart scripts are stored [16:26] !upstart | hedkandi [16:26] hedkandi: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:26] remoteCTR1: thanks [16:26] ok so we're saying they are the same but init is the new way to do it. [16:26] hedkandi: you'll notice a lot of the scripts in /etc/init.d are just a symlink indicating they are an upstart service === Wanda is now known as Guest91608 [16:27] I'm looking for an easy to set up, secure smtp server for Ubuntu.

I have an username and password into a computer and I want firefox to proxy through it... [16:35] jrib, right! [16:35] phlamigo, along with the gtkrc file are the images that file links to [16:35] Theoretician: just firefox? or the whole system? [16:35] JWFoxJr, you have to list them all in ntp.conf [16:35] alsuna: just firefox [16:36] coz_: many thanks, ill go through them [16:36] alsuna: i'm trying to get around a network filter [16:36] hey although I see sysv-rc-conf operates, isn't there a gtk style interface for it? [16:36] phlamigo, it may be easier to change the color of the file itself however,, menu color may not be an image file but rather a hex number [16:37] phlamigo, for example #996699 would be a dark purple if you want an easy way to translate hex values into colors installl agave sudo apt-get install agave [16:37] coz_: yeah, it will be n hex or decimal. i think gtk has 5 valid ways to reference color [16:37] phlamigo, ok cool you are familiar with it :) [16:38] coz_: yeah, i'm on the last step of getting things pretty. hehe [16:38] phlamigo, I wish you luck,, gtkrc can be a real PITA [16:38] Theoretician: the easiest is to use systemwide settings: in the ubuntu settings there is "network proxy" enter your data there [16:39] I need to install sun java, and get some lucid partner thing first? anyone know what commands or what i need to type into terminal. [16:39] coz_: frankly im just thankful that its possible. too many years with windows, so many dead ends for the amateur [16:40] phlamigo, completely understood :) [16:40] alsuna: do you know what port I should use? [16:40] naomi_: uncomment "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" in /etc/apt/sources.list, then run apt-get update [16:41] what is /etc/apt/sources? how do i do that? D: [16:42] Theoretician: you need to know on which port the proxy expects to be contacted. if this is for "normal internet" you could try ports 80 and 8080 [16:42] alsuna: ok, I think its working [16:44] sjakie: ok, thanks. the config file looked like it had subnets in it. This might present a problem, as I have over 100 servers that I'm providing time for. [16:47] JWFoxJr: thought you were talking about a ntp client. sorry.

[16:48] live cd of 10.10 x64* [16:50] alsuna: nvm, it is not working [16:50] how would i execute a program in its working directory from a shortcut? cd wont work [16:50] SuspectZero: if you do a live cd -> flash drive via unetbootin or similer with a persistant save.. yes. [16:50] alsuna: I think I set everything up correctly, but it won't get past the filter [16:50] alsuna: is there any way I can test it? [16:51] Theoretician: try accessing a website that your filter blocks. if it is still blocked, then you're not using the proxy. [16:52] alsuna: ok, so im not using it then [16:52] hi! [16:52] Dr_Willis, ah i see, well is it possible to use my harddrive to hold the persistant save information, without losing stuff on the partition? [16:52] SuspectZero: never noticed the cd looking on inbternal hds for its save file. Might be possible. i never tried it [16:52] sjakie: ok, thanks, that's what I had but clients aren't syncing. time to run a packet filter and find out what's going on. [16:52] ah kk [16:53] alsuna: can I proxy with the ssh command? [16:53] Theoretician: did you klick the "apply systemwide" button? [16:53] any idea what i should look up to make it work? [16:53] alsuna: yeah, i did [16:53] JWFoxJr: good luck :) [16:53] what i basically want to do is save all the persistent information files to a reiserfs partition on my harddrive [16:53] alsuna: I also authenticated w/ my username and passwd [16:54] SuspectZero: not sure if that can be done or not.

[16:55] Theoretician: hm... then it should have connected. try directly in firefox then. first restore the systemwide settings [16:56] ZieLonKa: or just disable teh gdm service in /etc/init/ by renaming gdm.conf to be like gdm.DONTRUN [16:57] Dr_Willis: where must i set this 'text-mode' setting to get ubuntu start with it as default? [16:57] ZieLonKa: /etc/default/grub [16:57] Theoretician: in Firefox (3.*) in settings, last tab, there is network and [settings...] enter your details there. you'll be asked for username/pw when you first try to connext [16:57] Dr_Willis: thanks! [16:57] ZieLonKa: replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' [16:58] alsuna: working on it [16:58] Dr_Willis: btw... my nic problem from yesterday is now solved, i just switched the cards ;) [16:59] alsuna: it won't connect, when i enter a URL it just freezes and says "connecting to www.google.com" [17:01] so i need to create a cname record to point files.domain.com to server02.domain.com/fileserver .. how can I do this in apache? [17:02] alsuna: do i need to ssh into the remote computer? [17:02] Theoretician: not connected then... you'll have to find out which port you're trying to connect to. everything else will be pure guesswork. [17:02] evilsushi, what is your goal? You want files.domain.com to point to a certain server that has your filed under /fileserver .. ?

[17:38] <_Tristan> should I keep cpu frequency scaling on performance on a high load webserver? [17:38] ayecee: yes... === herton_lunch is now known as herton [17:38] Theoretician: perhaps you could have started with that question instead? [17:38] ayecee, Woohoo! Thanks! [17:38] _Tristan: i guess only if you're interested in performance :-) [17:38] ayecee, actually, it worked when I put -t on the "outer" ssh command :P [17:38] sipior: if i run ssh with -D, will it automatically proxy? [17:38] osse: interesting [17:38] <_Tristan> sipior: well my processors never get above 30C as it is [17:39] Theoretician: what does it mean "automatically proxy"? [17:39] Theoretician: it will provide a SOCKS proxy which you can then feed to other applications (your web browser, i assume) [17:39] ah ok [17:39] Theoretician: have a look at the man page, it's quite informative. [17:40] sipior: got it === speppa is now known as sbubba [17:40] sipior: how do I set up firefox with it? [17:41] Theoretician: one of the configuration tabs should allow you to set a socks proxy to use. [17:41] Hay i need help with synaptic package manager, it says it needs to reinstall nvidia-common but cant find archive for it. any help? [17:42] I'm not sure what error that is. do you have the original text of the error? [17:42] hey [17:42] ayecee: hold on [17:43] Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login. [17:43] i know this is very vague but any idea what could cause a ubuntu system to barely respond to anything? if i click applications it takes a minute for the list to drop down, programs freeze and grey out every 10 seconds or so [17:44] zeroburn: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-common [17:44] nothing is responsive for at least 10 seconds [17:44] Rob235: when did this start happening? was it working normally before? [17:44] ayecee: E: The package nvidia-current needs to be reinstalled, but I cant find an archive for it" [17:44] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report [17:44] yea it just started today [17:44] i cant think of anything i installed [17:44] Rob235: does a reboot resolve the problem? [17:44] Theoretician: I did, but it still gives that error before trying to do anything [17:44] nope [17:44] zeroburn: try sudo apt-get update (this updates the repositories) [17:45] Theoretician: also tried that, and autoclean [17:45] zeroburn: try apt-get clean, then update [17:45] im looking at the system performance, the cpu and memory are all in the low usage range [17:46] Rob235: my first guess would be to turn off visual effects, as i've seen something like that happen before.. except not out of the blue like that. [17:46] <_Synergy_> Rob235 run 'top' and see if anything spikes on cpu usage when this is happening [17:46] same error, doesnt help [17:46] zeroburn: what application is this for? [17:46] when is someone going to make a plauge for shitzu's? [17:46] what is top [17:46] Theoretician: what do you mean what application? [17:46] my windows on digichat, java platfrom won't close. pm windows pop up and it wont let me close them. a friend said its a problem with the coding or something.. anyone know any way to fix it? [17:47] zeroburn: what did it come with? what was the actual item you installed? [17:47] <_Synergy_> Rob235 its a command line program like a task manager [17:48] Theoretician: I have no idea, i installed the nvidia drivers from the system-admin-hardware drivers aplication, and it broke my display, then uninstalled it (same way) now i cant open my package manager [17:48] Hi all -- need some help today, trying to determine if someone is remotely accessing my computer, or if that's even possible === Sary is now known as Guest52594 [17:48] nothing is going above 5% [17:48] in top [17:49] Is it possible to somehow have autocompletion of filenames when I use bracket expansion? I basically want autocompletion to work as if "{" never was there. [17:49] zeroburn: can apt-get update access the repositories at all? [17:50] Sary: check auth.log [17:50] Theoretician: yes, it is re updating as we speak [17:51] Hi all -- I need some help determining if someone is remotely accessing my computer, I found out I don't trust one of the people on my network at all. [17:51] zeroburn: my guess is that when you un-installed the nvidia package, you also un-installed something important [17:51] thesary: "last" will show you recent logins. [17:51] From what I can gather it's less likely on a linux based OS, but this guy isa computer programmer [17:52] Theoretician: thats possible, but how can this be fixed? update is done [17:52] sipior, what do you mean recent logins? Logins directly to my computer or someone else logging in from their own computer to mine? [17:52] Has anybody played with libpam_mount? I'm trying to get a share to mount when any user logs in and it's not flying. I'm curious if someone can help me through it so I can get these shares auto mounted on user login. [17:52] thesary: both. [17:52] Awesome so I just go into terminal and type 'last' or do I need to preface it with something? [17:52] thesary: no, that's it. [17:52] zeroburn: I'm not an expert, try reinstalling nvidia and if that fails, I have no idea [17:52] thesary: are you running any other services that might be used to compromise the machine? [17:52] xhol [17:52] HOLAS [17:53] holA [17:53] thesary: (web server, file server &cet.) [17:53] sipior: no I am not [17:53] I cant, no installations goes past this error [17:53] this guy works for NASA though [17:53] I'm really worried... [17:53] sswwwwswd [17:53] thesary: might they possibly have physical access to the computer? [17:54] yes. [17:54] zeroburn: take a look at your repostitory file. I'm not sure where it is but there might be an issue there [17:54] thesary: that's a problem. [17:54] hi can I use any other command to check cpu utilization ubuntu 10.04 other than top -n 1 | grep "Cpu" [17:54] command [17:54] huh, a second reboot seems to have fixed the problem, weird that the first one didnt [17:54] Rob235: weird! [17:54] Theoretician: what am i looking for (its in /etc/apt) [17:54] hey people. can anyone help mee find the name of the program that executes the "additional driver"? so that i can call the program from command line? [17:54] thesary: you might consider talking the situation over with the local computer administrator. [17:54] zeroburn: just see if it may be empty. If things are missing, it is bad [17:55] Shogoot: its called jockey-gtk [17:55] zeroburn: gtg, good luck [17:55] Induane: thanks dude [17:55] Shogoot: if you need to find that sort of thing out in the future, right click on the applications menu and go edit menus [17:55] then nagivate to the icon [17:56] anyone know when the mozilla daily builds repo is gonna have firefox point to 4.0? [17:56] hit properties [17:56] and it will show you what it executes to run that program. [17:56] back later, and no problem [17:56] Induane: rgr and thanks [17:56] np [17:57] is there a specific chanel for APT-GET issues? [17:57] how to change ssh port number ? [17:57] Hi, I was able to install Grub2 onto my USB HD, but now when I boot from it, it just comes up at Mini-Grub CLI... is there a command from there I can use to start the Ubuntu 10.10 that is installed on the drive? [17:58] I tried "update-grub" from the Mini-grub, but it didn't work. So I am guessing i need to launch Ubuntu and then goto terminal from tehre and update... [17:58] has anybody recently installed ubuntu server edition (10.04) with no configuration on postfix? i'm getting a postfix directory error when trying to restart my networking process [17:58] Hello guys [17:59] jiltdil: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [17:59] Death_FC: try http://tolearnfree.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-grub2-on-ubuntu-910.html [17:59] or http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3106368.0 [18:00] zeroburn: thanks for the links, will read up on them [18:01] Death_FC: sure, grub2 is the worst boot loader ever to fix once broken.. good luck on that [18:01] hello [18:02] How can I mount SMB shares that been connected automatically at startup? [18:03] i just found out that my keyboard don´t work on grub menu, for some reason. but as i resently upgraded so ubuntu prompts out grub every time i boot. how can i remove grub from existing system or just remove old kernels from existing system on live cd [18:04] tommis: what grub? 1 or 2 [18:04] ayecee:thanx [18:04] what is the alternate for qmake? im trying to install using ./configure [18:05] et [18:05] 2 [18:05] ./configure: 23: qmake: not found [18:05] running 10.10 [18:05] cache_surplus: you may need to install qmake [18:05] ayecee: not found [18:05] !find qmake [18:05] Found: qt4-qmake [18:05] !info qt4-qmake [18:05] bingo [18:05] qt4-qmake (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 qmake Makefile generator tool. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.7.0-0ubuntu4.2 (maverick), package size 1303 kB, installed size 6284 kB [18:06] E: Unable to locate package qmake [18:06] why are 90% of mindmap apps made with java? takes 2min just to start em up :S [18:06] oh,, qt4 ill try that [18:06] cache_surplus: qt4 [18:06] tommis: please use the name tag of the person to whom you are replying, just makes it easier to see the mesages directed at you.. But oka so you wish to add or remove an entry from the grub2 menu correct? [18:06] #crazycraft [18:06] zeroburn: would work, yes [18:06] fail. [18:06] How do i make my own channel on this [18:07] root__: /join #channelname [18:07] Thanks [18:07] tommis: oka thx.. hmm hold on e sec [18:07] sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc [18:07] WARNING: /tmp/kiax-0.8.51-src/qkiax.pro:7: Variable TARGETDEPS is deprecated; use POST_TARGETDEPS instead. [18:07] installed qt4-qmake, got that message [18:07] suggestions [18:08] when they say use POST_TARGETDEPS what do they mean syntax wise? [18:08] cache_surplus: looks like a warning, not an error. though you can change the line [18:08] cache_surplus: you install qt4-qmake like this, "sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake" [18:09] tommis: qmake is not install [18:09] opps [18:09] is NOW installed [18:09] mkay [18:09] i pasted the ./configure so you could see what happend next [18:09] ooh [18:09] this might be over your head tommis... [18:09] tommis: the easiest way to do this would be to install ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads/ [18:09] i haven't used configure in a while,,, its ubuntu lol [18:10] cache_surplus: noup, just language parrier [18:10] tweak? [18:10] cache_surplus: it's a warning, I wouldn't worry about it. [18:10] tommis: manualy configuring the grub menu is a nightmare to say the least... [18:10] its a warning, no, it wont go further, its not installed. that ./configure should have done way more stdout [18:10] cache_surplus: the qmake file was probably created for an earlier version of qmake, and the later version is letting you know that. [18:10] zeroburn: but would it work if i am on live cd? [18:10] i'm having some troubles getting the executable bit set on files, when i go to properties->permissions i can click the allow execution thingy [18:10] ayecee: ic [18:10] Is there some way to make the window resizer a little bigger? Right now I have to aim withing a couple pixels to get the resize cursor [18:11] nick: what filesystem is this? [18:11] yah im trying to put a hardy prog on 10.10 [18:11] tommis: are you currently running from a live cd? [18:11] ruan: oh, derp. [18:11] i should know better [18:11] cache_surplus: perhaps there's a more current version? [18:11] zeroburn: yes because i can´t boot to my own system [18:11] ruan: ntfs [18:11] nick: mount it with ntfs-3g [18:11] oka hold on [18:11] tommis: oka hold on [18:11] zeroburn: because i can´t use keyboard to select kernel in grub [18:12] I am trying to track down a memory leak in xorg, I have found the culprit in xrestop but it is unknown with a PID of ?, anyone know how I might go about tracking it down further? [18:12] i should report a bug later... [18:12] ayecee: i dont think so, the website i downloaded from shows intrepid as last universe release [18:12] nick: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX /mnt/x [18:12] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kiax/0.8.51.dfsg-2-1 [18:12] Error: Launchpad bug 0 not found [18:12] take a gander [18:12] tommis: oka lets try this, navigate to your boot folder (default is /etc/grub.d) [18:12] its a softphone for asterisk use [18:13] im gonna see if i can use my google voice number for this asterisk server on my laptop ;) [18:13] cache_surplus: maybe there's an updated version of kiax that has not yet been packaged. [18:13] gvoice is a free sip account, so why not give it a whirl lol [18:13] tommis: no its not a grub bug, its a harware bug, normaly USB keyboards have this issue on certain MBs.. duno why [18:13] ayecee: maybe, where can i find such ? [18:13] zeroburn: okay [18:13] zeroburn: i am on the folder [18:14] ill look around again... [18:14] cache_surplus: google led me to their homepage, http://www.forschung-direkt.eu/kiax2/ [18:14] im sure it did [18:14] thanks === david_ is now known as theholder [18:14] doesnt mean its gonna work with 10.10 [18:14] nod [18:14] Greetings. [18:14] Wnat ks\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [18:14] whoops. [18:14] what keywords did you use ayecee? [18:14] tommis: oka, now there should be files with a 2 digit prefix eg 10_linux or 20_memtest86+.. to which of these operating systems do you wish to bot? [18:14] hi [18:15] Whats the difference between completely removing an uninstalling using synaptic ? [18:15] and* [18:15] cache_surplus: yeah, kinda looks dead [18:15] zeroburn: the ubuntu 10.10 i have got installed [18:15] ayecee: Developer Forum (requires login) [18:15] cache_surplus: no wait, they have windows builds up to 2009 [18:15] how to run windows media streams on my ubuntu? [18:16] not running windoze... [18:16] strickly linux here in this household [18:16] zeroburn: but i only wan´t one kernel entry [18:16] cache_surplus: right, I'm sayign that the project may not actually be dead. however, you're still left with the chore of getting a soruce tarball and making it work somehow. [18:16] even if i used virtual instance of windoze it would sound like crap voice wise [18:16] tommis: oka now you need to find the file that corresponds to that then (probly xx_linux) [18:16] zeroburn: i´ve only got ubuntu on this machine [18:16] zee131: install the gstreamer plugins [18:16] It says "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal". Whats the difference ? [18:16] ruan: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. [18:16] ayecee: true, one that is 10.10 friendly [18:16] in freebsd its not an issue [18:17] tommis: oka then give me the list of files with a 2 digit prefix [18:17] rarely i should say [18:17] there is 10_linux 20_linux_xen [18:17] zeroburn: [18:17] also that site you got for your "google" search, is just an info page [18:17] ill check source forge [18:17] tommis: oka, when you are inside grub. what is the default entry listed? is it the incorrect one? [18:18] nick: unmount(umount) it first [18:18] tommis: in other words, do you want to go to the second entry, or a third or so forth? [18:18] zeroburn: no i just need on kernel, so it boots to it automaticly [18:18] ayecee: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kiax/ might work, however, it looks like the same version [18:18] exit [18:18] zeroburn: i wan´t older kernel entry removed [18:19] ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab) [18:19] tommis: oka but the files you gave me suggests there are only 2 entries in the grub menu? [18:19] i guess ekiga and empathy or things of this nature seemed to work for ubuntu rather than try to the avg desktop user work less. [18:19] leaving out the fun and fascination of ./configure [18:19] TheUnknown: complete removal should remove system configuration files for the package too === ukdkbr is now known as Mr_Peeks [18:20] zeroburn: here is full ls: 00_header 05_debian_theme 10_linux 20_linux_xen 20_memtest86+ 30_os-prober 40_custom 41_custom README [18:20] ruan: umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab) [18:20] every instance variable that you have a property thats set to retain you have to release in dealloc right? [18:20] oops wrong channel [18:20] sorry [18:20] yep, the gui ubuntu software center grabbed it, said, wrong arch... sighs.. [18:21] tommis: oka now the 10 entry should be the one highlighted when you get to the grub menu (ie the default option) [18:21] kk [18:21] sorr [18:21] -_- [18:21] zeroburn: and i want other removed [18:21] nick: are you sure it's sdb and not sdb1/2/3 etc [18:21] tommis: which means, the 20_should be the one you wish to have left [18:21] ruan: oh, i ment sdb1 [18:22] tommis: yes, but we first need to know in which order they are for us to delete the other [18:22] ayecee: however i just check out ubuntu software center, typed in iax and i got a few hits, SFLphone and Yate Voip Client. those might work,,, ill let you guys know later... in a day or two maybe lol [18:22] :) [18:22] zeroburn: okay... [18:22] hello [18:22] I have a weird problem with the console [18:22] ayecee: i wanted to try out x-lite but ya know, thats a mac/doze client... yawn [18:22] it only shows stderr [18:23] tommis: oka navigate to /boot/grub/ and open grub.cfg [18:23] also in C programs, the printf() function doesn't display anything in the console [18:24] but if I do fprintf(stderr, "bla") it does work [18:24] Tiberiu: has it always been like that, it did it change recently? [18:24] it changed some time ago... like a month if i remember well [18:25] Tiberiu: does it do the same thing via ssh, or only at the console itself? [18:25] ayacee: hmmm... huh? [18:26] tommis: take the content of that file and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com and give the redirected website here so i can view your config file and edit it for you [18:27] Tiberiu: which part is huh? [18:27] Tiberiu: you haven't changed any characteristics of your terminal? [18:27] I don't remember changing anything [18:27] Tiberiu: echo "foo" returns nothing else? [18:27] hi [18:27] hold on a second, let me reboot into linux... can't really think in windows [18:28] Tiberiu, I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. [18:28] im going to run an asterisk pbx locally on this laptop. i have installed successfully and asterisk -rvv works. im in command prompt. i would like to try and run my google voice number off this server and use the ivr and other features of asterisk. any suggestions where to begin? also, my client will be iax2 compatible and is preferred for asterisk from what i can see so far. how to go bout configuring slfphone.gtk thanks. su [18:28] zeroburn: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/586959/ have fun [18:28] sparch: save your pedantry for someone who has a use for it.

[18:35] tommis: awg shoot.. flood bot [18:35] hi all! I have 10.10 installed. My laptop is Asus f81. ubuntu doesn't boot. it boots only with acpi=off option. what is the reason for this? [18:35] chinthaka: you can install vbox from synaptic [18:35] zeroburn: that looks correct [18:35] zeroburn: zeroburn i wan´t last two to be removed [18:35] zvacet:ok thank you very much === maelstrom is now known as Guest85911 [18:36] chinthaka: but you can read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973756 [18:36] ozkan: the reason is that linux's acpi code does not interact well with your laptop's acpi code. [18:36] thesary: if it isn't installed automatically, install the package "zenmap". [18:36] tommis: only the last two, does it boot correctly to the first entry? [18:36] ozkan: it's hard to go into more detail than that. [18:36] cache_surplus, some files changed.and walpaper xhanged.any open differnt sites but i cant open them..it happened with me [18:37] hello [18:37] ok, thank you very much. is it harmful to use it with that option? [18:37] zeroburn: if i could press enter, yes === Synergy is now known as Guest6743 [18:37] bs_: sudo less /var/log/auth.log see if you can see unauthorized access under diff account, and check you /etc/passwd for timestamp of change [18:38] ozkan: with acpi turned off, a lot of the power management functions are disabled. The laptop may run hot, or have less battery life than you'd expect [18:38] bs_: ls -al /etc/passwd [18:38] tommis: it should boot the first option automaticly, after 10sec? [18:38] zeroburn: it dosen´t [18:38] ozkan: it's unlikely to cause actual harm, though. [18:38] tommis: oka il have a look [18:38] bs_: ls -altr / your file directories one by one, and see what files were touched last and by whom [18:38] now this is really weird... apparently the console works just fine right now [18:39] but for quite some time it didn't work properly... [18:39] bs_: unplug from the internet right now and start sifting through everything i just said... start looking for files and timestamps to get a clue when things changed... thats the first step. check your logs as well [18:40] again, log off right now... and sift [18:40] come back when you have more info [18:40] ozkan: if a bios upgrade is available for the laptop, there's a chance that that might fix it. [18:41] hi [18:41] help help help i'm going mad [18:41] tommis: overwrite your grub.config with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/586965/ and test it [18:41] could one of you test something for me? im not sure if its only doing this on my os or if it does it for everyone. [18:41] !ask | ioria [18:41] ioria: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:41] can someone remind me the location of openssh-server settings? [18:42] ruan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [18:42] it is possible that an eth1 works like a wlan0 ... a wireless .. i mean ???? [18:42] tommis: it should select an entry named "ubuntu 10.10" and either after 2 or 10 seconds boot it === drc is now known as grammar-nazi === renato is now known as renatofilho [18:42] ayecee: thanks [18:43] ioria: no [18:43] yes it is [18:43] wtf [18:43] sure [18:43] ioria: Then why did you ask? [18:43] ayecee: I made bios upgrades.. but it didn't change anything. now I downloaded 2.6.32 series kernel, and 10.10 works with it. [18:43] Hello, ubuntu 10.10, my cursor shakes slightly whenever I just have my finger sitting on it. This is effecting delicate procedures and I'm wondering if their's a fix for it. [18:43] ioria: if it hase wireless extensions, you will be able to configure t with the iw or iwconfig utility [18:44] because sometime the ping does not work [18:44] only if i ping first === grammar-nazi is now known as drc [18:44] the ifup wlan0 gives me an error [18:45] but i'm connecting with the wireless === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [18:45] calling all linux bots. === ubuntu is now known as amdiadj [18:45] sipior: eh?

Don't know how to pastebin that [18:50] normally in freebsd i'd use sysconfig and have it fdisk/etc.. [18:50] and the command is just kill -9 plus the pid [18:50] could someone check something real quick for me? wanna know if its just my computer doing this or if everyone on ubuntu has the same problem. .-. [18:50] i've googled it but it keeps giving me lamp install stuff [18:51] "ubuntu lucid add new hard drives" [18:51] milamber, is there anything "more forceful" than kill -9 to kill a process? [18:52] ioria: please you the nickname tab, so i can see your replys [18:53] eltigre: not really. is it the same pid every time? [18:53] naomi_: what is the problem [18:53] ioria: so you want to connect a laptop running ubuntu to a desktop running windows XP using a wifi card I presume?

[19:07] how can i connect to my external ip address if its shared with many others? [19:07] what command [19:07] ruan: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [19:07] Pici: sshing into my pc [19:07] ruan: normally you'd have to configure the router providing the external address to forward a particular port to you [19:07] ruan: port forwarding? [19:07] Pici: without the lan ip [19:07] bonjoyee: i have forwarded the ports, but it seems to be a different pc when i try to connect to it [19:08] ruan: how so? [19:08] ruan: or install something like hamachi... [19:08] that is, what makes you think it's a different computer? [19:08] hmm hamachi. will that work on a phone? i need to ssh into my phone [19:08] ayecee: not the same ports are forwarded [19:08] ruan: i don't know what you mean.. [19:09] if i connect to port 411 of my local LAN IP, the connection is refused [19:09] if i connect to it with my external ip, it times out [19:09] drc [19:09] many thanks [19:09] ruan: is port 411 forwarded to your pc? [19:09] ayecee: yes, but nothing is listening on it [19:10] ruan: what is the external ip? [19:10] HIII [19:10] ayecee: 41.0.10.8 [19:10] guys I want to zip an entire folder and keep the file permissions etc..how can I do that? [19:10] ruan: I'm getting connection refused on port 411. that's positive, right? [19:10] ayecee: hmm.. [19:10] times out here [19:11] ruan: it's quite common in NAT setups that you won't can't connect to the external ip from inside, only outside [19:11] ayecee: i'll switch the port back to 411 [19:11] i cant get rid of segmentation fault 11 on k9copy [19:11] then try to connect [19:11] 2 mins [19:11] is there any software to save our system by hacking????? [19:12] ruan: is see the port closed... [19:12] ayecee: switched back to 411, try to connect now [19:12] ruan: still connection refused [19:12] odd [19:12] bs_: what?

[19:13] ruan: you have no local firewall, right? [19:13] ayecee: nope [19:13] jamess: reinstall from scratch. a compromised box should be "fixed" [19:13] jamess: i mean "shouldn't" [19:13] is it possible to have 2 window managers running on 2 monitors? [19:13] eas,is there any software present in ubuntu that not allow hacker to reach to our system???? [19:13] ruan: then it seems the port forwarding is not set up, or not set up the way you think it is :) [19:13] I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this? [19:13] iptables! [19:14] is there an official guide or something for the new natty release that teaches you how to deal with unity and keyboard shortcuts etc? [19:14] hey guys, im having trouble using my laptop as a media center, when i plug in the HDMI can i make it so HDMI is the only sound output? otherwise i get a strange echo from my laptop playing the sounds as well [19:14] hmm. should i reset my router to gain access to it? [19:14] elaborate please eas [19:14] eas,so no body can hack my system????is there any software present???? [19:14] IPTABLES!@# [19:14] ruan: I don't know enough about your setup to answer that. [19:14] !ufw [19:14] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [19:14] bs_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [19:14] bs_: Do you have an ssh server installed? If so, I highly suggest that you install fail2ban. [19:14] is that for me? [19:15] bs_: i suggest you read up on unix systems [19:15] ThinkT510: that is a very thoughtful and complete suggestion. [19:15] anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10? [19:15] iptables is a bit low-level for what bs_ is asking. [19:15] ruan: confirm you are forwarding port 411 to the right computer...( local ip) [19:15] bonjoyee: it is forwarded on my router [19:16] tcp and udp [19:16] is there a way to make HDMI the ounly sound output when i plug it in? so when i plug in hdmi i dont get an echo from my computer speakers playing at the same time as my tv? === test_ is now known as trijntje [19:16] ruan: yes..but check you have entered correct local ip... [19:16] bonjoyee: i can connect to my local ip [19:16] hmm [19:16] ruan: is your router perhaps behind another router? :) [19:16] ayecee: nope, only 1 [19:16] brb [19:17] ruan: could it be that the isp providing the connection does some filtering? [19:17] :/ [19:17] ruan: what i mean to say..is the router forwarding port 411 to the right computer running the service..? [19:18] anyone know how to install the Elegant Brit GNOME theme for ubuntu 10.10? [19:18] How can I avoid the CPU getting hot enough to make the fan turn on? Does throttling help?

[19:20] zeroburn: (throttling as in lowering the CPU clock) [19:20] I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this? [19:21] An_Ony_Moose: the transistors heat as current pass through them, even if you should pass DC (0MHz) trough it, it will heat up.. [19:21] an_ony_Moose: throttling will help but not so much as to turn off the cpu fan.. [19:21] unable to access internet after installing ubuntu 10.04 ..DNS server problem [19:21] pls help [19:21] ThinkT510: thank you [19:22] preetam: can you ping ips? like 8.8.8.8? [19:22] b26: np [19:22] An_Ony_Moose: why do you wish to turn of the fan in the first place? [19:22] zeroburn: I need the machine to run silently [19:22] ThinkT510: there's nothing listed in ~/.themes directory though [19:22] even if that costs performance [19:22] bonjoyee: no network unreachable even I am unable to ping my router.. [19:22] Hello? [19:23] b26: it usually is empty, paste the theme there then you can select it from where you normally select themes [19:23] An_Ony_Moose: for that you will need a very lage heatsink, preferably with a heavy coeffiecient lower than 8degrees celsius [19:23] preetam: how are you connected to internet? [19:24] zeroburn: that's sadly not an option, seeing as this is a netbook... So noise is completely unavoidable without risking an overheat? [19:24] b26: adding themes to ~/.themes/ makes them available in the themes list [19:24] bonjoyee i have connect through broadband. after excuting sudo dhclient eth0 I can only access internet. but i have to run it everytime i login.. [19:24] whats the command to start the gui from command line? [19:25] An_Ony_Moose: yes on a netbook it is even more difficult... one moment, there might be another option, if you are wiling to open up and wire some things internaly [19:25] preetam: not using network manager? [19:25] Ok. for anyone alive out there, I am a windows user fed up of Microsoft's monopoly and lack of security. Can anyone tell me this much: OK, I try to use the Ubuntu Clam AV, but for some reason, it is out of date and won't update. Any help here? [19:25] Shyster: startx [19:25] zeroburn: definitely not. Thanks for the help anyway :) [19:25] thank you ThinkT510 [19:25] JJ_: you don't need antivirus on linux [19:26] bonjoyee: network manger is disable. the icon is not appearing in the system tray after nm --applet.

[19:26] preetam: check /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [19:26] * An_Ony_Moose considers programming an antivirus for linux called "obecalp" [19:26] like 1 user use gnome and another use kde? [19:27] preetam: check you /etc/network/interfaces file ....it must only have the lo interface defined for nm to work.. [19:27] Shyster: yes [19:27] blah [19:27] Shyster: yes, you can select which desktop environment from the login screen (gdm/kdm) [19:27] Ok, then lets say for some reason I was clicking on a link to a site and it redirected me to a windows virus, I know they do not run on Linux, but how would I get the sucker out of Linux?

I tried downloading Avira for Linux, but I do not know how to install and configure the thing. Any tips? [19:32] abhinav: you would have to compile it first with g++ [19:33] GuyCanada, some hdmi equipped cards need the souncard out to be connected audio in on the hdmi card, imilar to some tv tuner cards [19:33] JJ_: what's "Avira for Linux"? [19:33] ayecee: how? [19:33] Avira antivirus for Linux. [19:33] GuyCanada: on my laptop under the sound preferences is where I change my audio in and out. When I select HDMI the other audio ports go silent [19:33] JJ_: oh, okay, why do you want that? [19:33] abhinav: well, what's the filename? [19:33] Is it better to let Ubuntu install on by default on one partition, or should I make partitions for /, /home,and swap? My current computer is the latter, but I have almost run out of my 10GB of my root folder. What do you guys suggest? [19:33] abhinav: g++ filename.cpp [19:33] hello.cpp [19:33] JJ_: if you look in your mailserver documentation it'll probably tell you how to use something similar [19:34] meganerdca, i dont see different selections for hdmi etc in my sound preferences [19:34] rypervenche: I just do the single partition install myself [19:34] I want it so I do not send Windows Viruses to other machines. [19:34] By accident. [19:34] abhinav [19:34] rypervenche: 2nd one, reinstalls are nicer, swaps can be kept between reinstalled and used by multiple OSes [19:34] bonjoy and ayecee :awesome! i ll try that. thanks [19:34] JJ_: it's probably not in any way useful unless you're running a mailserver [19:34] GuyCanada: on the output tab there is a drop down list called connector [19:34] JJ_: that's about the only time you'd be able to make much sensible use of an antivirus program on Linux [19:34] Oh? [19:35] aeon-ltd: Then how large should I make my / folder? [19:35] abhinav: do a g++ hello.cpp [19:35] after that do a ./a.out [19:35] Ok...Thanks. [19:35] JJ_: I guess you could scan files stored on disk somewhere [19:35] meganerdca, i dont see hdmi in that dropdown list, thanks tho. [19:35] JJ: Windows viruses will work only if you have wine installed most of the time IMO [19:35] ashmew2: even then it's a faff [19:36] you've got to really work at it to get the crappy viruses to run under Wine, they're so badly written [19:36] bonjoy: hey, i did what u said but dont see anything happening [19:36] rypervenche: I am not a fan of multiboot, I am really good at backing my data up, so the headaches of multiple partitions are not at all balanced with the benfits for me. This is very much a YMMV kind of thing. It really depends on your workflow [19:36] Ok, another thing. Would a windows virus that requires downloading that normally downloads itself onto a windows computer, download itself automatically on Linux? [19:36] hello [19:36] rypervenche: 8/12-15gb if you don't like installing a lot of stuff, [19:36] JJ_: no [19:36] meganerdca, any idea why hdmi wouldnt show up in that list? [19:36] GuyCanada: sorry, hardware tab\, profile list [19:37] How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ? [19:37] JJ_: that depends; most of them require some sort of user interaction on Windows [19:37] abhinav: after you do that you will find a file named a.out? [19:37] in the same dir? [19:37] yes [19:37] Really? [19:37] thats the executable....run it by doing ./a.out [19:37] JJ_: even sites that attempt to trick you into downloading malware generally don't work right on Linux [19:37] gordonjcp: ive had viruses trying to hijack my Counter Strike 1.6 running under wine [19:37] ashmew2: that's a remote exploit though [19:37] meganerdca, dont see hdmi in there anywhere either? [19:38] bonjoyee:k. thnks [19:38] ashmew2: you get that in *anything* that runs a service [19:38] meganerdca: aeon-ltd: Well, I don't use multiple OSes....if I had to reinstall I would basically have to backup my /home folder then replace it once I'm done, right? [19:38] gordonjcp: Far less likely on linux [19:38] meganderca, i get hdmi sound output tho so it should be here somewhere. the problem is i get hdmi sound AND internal speaker sound [19:38] gordonjcp: all the commands it was typing in the CS chat window was Windows [19:38] ashmew2: yup [19:38] problem with my bluetooth, will not turn on, when I click on bluetooth-icon it says it is on and when I click on propoties this window pops up an nothing happends : http://bildr.no/view/853077 [19:39] rypervenche: thats what I do. Actually I only have a couple of folders that I care about, but basically yes [19:39] rypervenche: yeah not a huge job, but if you're going to be tweaking installs (trying new OSes etc) then it saves time [19:39] has anybody recently installed ubuntu server edition (10.04) with no configuration on postfix? i'm getting a postfix directory error when trying to restart my networking process [19:39] ashmew2: you used to get a Windows virus that attacked IIS and sent a big long bogus path in, requesting something like http://www.gjcp.net/../../../../../windows/system/cmd.exe [19:39] Ahhh I see, thank you very much meganerdca and aeon-ltd ^^ [19:39] GuyCanada: for me it is called "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output [19:39] I see....one sec. [19:40] ashmew2: as an interesting aside, you could often browse machines that were attacking you like that with samba, by firing in //attackers.hostname/ and poking around [19:40] meganerdcd, i have digital stero duplex(iec958) and digita stereo(iec958)ouput+analog output [19:41] GuyCanada, check your multimedia settings , the hdmi should be listed under phonon [19:41] GuyCanada: what device is providing HDMI for you? I am using an Intel integrated GPU [19:41] !server | bdamos [19:41] bdamos: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [19:41] gordonjcp: yeah obviously...who said Linux cant be hacked..its just that its not really concentrated on [19:41] ashmew2: well, if you leave a gap someone will sneak in [19:41] BluesKaj: phonon is KDE [19:41] meganerdca, im not sure is there an easy way to check? [19:41] lspci |grep VGA [19:41] How do I do euro signs or ctrl alt my vowels to do accents etc? [19:41] blueskaj, what exactly does that mean? where are multimaedia settings located? [19:41] meganerdca, oh , too bad :( [19:41] ashmew2: you can steal a bank's armoured truck, if they leave it with the door open [19:42] I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on an old computer, but it doesn't have a wireless card. How can I bridge my connection with an ethernet cable from my laptop? [19:42] GuyCanada, sry < Iwon't interrupt again [19:42] gordonjcp, it still won't be easy actually. the doors might be guarded. [19:42] dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/586977/ [19:42] blueskaj, no its fine i appreciate any help. I dont understand what your suggestion is tho [19:43] rypervenche: brctl [19:43] rypervenche, you can use a wireless adapter in that case [19:43] and http://paste.ubuntu.com/586978/ [19:43] rypervenche: using network manager on laptop? [19:43] rypervenche: brctl addbr br0 [19:43] meganderdca, i think i may have figured it out, im gonna test it [19:43] meganerdca, thanks for the help [19:43] v__v: I have one, but first I want to install ndiswrapper, and I'd rather not hassel with getting the deb file for it. [19:43] everything's changed so much since i used gnome, GuyCanada , just ignore me ..I use kde desktop, I forget what desktop uses what apps sometimes [19:43] bonjoyee: I am. [19:44] v__v: you'd be amazed what turning up in a white van, wearing a high-vis jacket and looking annoyed can do [19:44] rypervenche: then "brctl addif br0 eth0 wlan0" [19:44] rypervenche: then simply do edit conn> ipv4> shared with othres... [19:44] How do I connect to wifi from terminal? [19:44] v__v: a fluorescent yellow jacket and a pair of rigger boots is basically a comprehensive invisibility cloak [19:44] channel for puppy linux? [19:45] Ok, thanks all of you :) [19:45] rcmaehl: you probably want to lool at iwconfig, and possibly wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant if there is WPA encryption [19:45] is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn? === fred_ is now known as Guest96141 [19:45] gordonjcp : vow! am hoping you haven't tried that. that wud rather be a highlighting outfit than giving you invisibilty [19:45] meganerdca: idk how to connect with iwconfig but I know how to scan [19:45] gordonjcp: yep true [19:45] How do I disable/uninstall my built in webcam on here? [19:45] jiltdil: Pretty sure it's just #puppylinux [19:46] ok thanx [19:46] I got a usb wifi adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data. How can I fix this? [19:46] rcmaehl: well, if there is no encryption, just a "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid " should do the trick [19:46] andreylosev, how are you here? :\ [19:46] let's say firefox profile manager deleted a profile I didn't tell it to - how can I recover the profile directory, if that's even possible? [19:46] I have two computers :) [19:46] rcmaehl: then "sudo dhclient wlan0", assuming that wlan0 is your wireless interface. [19:46] v__v: this is straying dangerously close to off-topic [19:47] andreylosev, which wifi adapter ? [19:47] meganerdca: what if the encyrption is wpa2? [19:47] v__v: you'd be amazed where you can just walk on site because you are wearing high-vis and look like you're supposed to be there [19:47] genii-around: actuall i i have some installation problem i have an iso on my host and want to install it on my guest virtual box so on universal installer which ooption i have to choose i am confused [19:47] andreylosev, haha alright. check your ethernet settings and reset your encryption once [19:47] meganerdca: also what if the essid has a space [19:47] some random usb adapter [19:47] rcmaehl: then generate a config file with wpa_passphrase "wpa_passphrase essid passphrase > essid.conf" [19:48] gordonjcp, i have no clue why this started. so am pretty sure am on topic :p [19:48] jiltdil: virtualisation is not my specialty, sorry [19:48] rcmaehl: that filename is arbitrary, I just used essid.conf so I can keep track of more than one easily [19:48] BluesKaj and v__v : it's a tp-link tl-wn722n [19:48] v__v: it's pen-testing. Yeah. So, security, which brings us back round to viruses. Yeah, that sounds about right [19:48] gordonjcp, i sense sarcasm in it. :\ [19:48] gordonjcp: easy there :D [19:48] rcmaehl: then "sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /path/to/essid.conf" [19:48] Anyone know how to disable/uninstall a built in webcam? [19:49] rcmaehl: "sudo dhclient wlan0" [19:49] it worked before rebooting, and now it appears to connect in the networkmanager applet but won't ping the router [19:49] naomi_: may be by blacklisting the module? [19:49] I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Ubuntu, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Canonical Linux. [19:49] naomi_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1211371 maybe [19:49] is it possible to use a webcam with empathy while being logged on to msn? [19:49] No idea what that even means bonjo, i'm a noob with this. only using it 2 days. [19:50] thanks ash i'll read through it now. [19:50] sparch: Stop that. [19:50] rcmaehl: if the essid has a space, just enclose it in quotes, like " [19:50] http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/69.175.32.214 [19:50] can anyone help me to get a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch working in Lucid? [19:51] rcmaehl: eg: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "My Wireless Network" [19:51] kk [19:51] I've had my laptop connected to an external VGA monitor for a while now. Today it's not detecting the display. The display is plugged into the computer and is turned on. Can someone help me diagnose what's going wrong so that I can get my secondary screen working. I use separate X screens (which is how I want it). [19:51] rcmaehl: if there is wpa, use the wpa_supplicant line instead of iwconfig [19:51] Ok. I am back. Now, a follow to the Windows auto-download virus; if I didi enounter such a thing, and it tried to start something, should I be concerned that although it did not execute on Linux, it is stored on my system and infecting others' windows computers? [19:51] did* [19:51] infecting others by e-mail?* [19:51] JJ_: how would it infect others' windows computers if it's not executing? [19:51] rcmaehl, if you are using wpa_supplicant, you must REMOVE network-manager. wpa_supplicant will not work if network-manager is installed. [19:52] kk [19:52] JJ_: it can only infect other computers if they connect to you via samba, http, or you email them the infected file [19:52] How can I print comments with the Document Viewer ? [19:52] rcmaehl, Took me a few hours to realize how serious people were when they said that :P [19:52] my system doesn't see the Wacom tabletwhen I plug it in [19:52] Does anyone know why the on-board eSATA on a Intel DX58SO2 board wouldn't work? When my drive is plugged in on boot ubuntu drops to a busybox shell, when it's hotplugged no new drives show up and no information is in dmesg [19:52] hi. i have a huge memory leak going on right now. how can i find out what's causing it? [19:52] i just started the computer [19:52] JJ_: it just does not magically jump from computer to computer [19:52] earthmeLon: lol [19:52] Hello, a bit of a noob question; I am presently trying to connect to a windows 2003 telnet server from my urxvt; apparently though my backspace is not correctly recognised, anybody knows what terminal settings i have to change? [19:52] airstrike: what leads you to believe that it's a memory leak? [19:52] airstrike: I like atop and htop [19:52] Oh....Ok....so the file would just sit there collecting dust then... [19:53] UlTERiOR_: what happens when you hit backspace? [19:53] ayecee, memory usage is escalating fast [19:53] nothing open [19:53] it could be a lot of processes being spawned too [19:53] ayecee: apparently it seems to be a 'null' character or such [19:53] airstrike: where are you seeing this? using what tool? [19:53] system monitor [19:53] airstrike: htop can easily sort by memory usage. The default system monitor can also sort by memory usage [19:53] airstrike: you can use top on console or sysmon applet to track memory hog === damn3d is now known as Damn3d [19:53] ayacee: I had no problems connecting from a windows client.. [19:54] airstrike: it's common for memory usage to go up as the disk cache fills. It's not a bad thing. [19:54] UlTERiOR_: might need to use Backspace = ^? [19:54] UlTERiOR_: a null character? what does it look like on screen? [19:54] jj_ if you feel so insecure about the file you could always check it up with http://www.virustotal.com/ [19:54] ayecee, i -just- started the session [19:54] and it's at 400mb [19:54] was at 300mb when i first asked the question [19:54] i only have about 1.5gb left :P [19:54] v__v and BluesKaj any ideas? [19:54] Ok, well, if the virus did not execute, and just collecting dust in my file system, could it use my machine as a piggy back if they connected to my system through HTTP? [19:54] ayecee: a square with '07' in it vertically [19:54] airstrike: right, that's normal. unused memory is wasted memory, so the unused memory is used to cache files from disk. [19:55] ayacee: apparrently not in my character set [19:55] If a person connected though my system via HTTP?* [19:55] airstrike: when the memory is needed, the memory is returned from cache. [19:55] airstrike: what's the output of free -m, pay attention the the -/+ buffers/cache line [19:55] ayecee, is it normal to have the 'loading' cursor on all the time? [19:55] I typed "lsusb" in terminal and got the usb id number. then typed "dmesg | grep" and the number to find the driver. now how do i blacklist it?? [19:55] and a missing taskbar? [19:55] airstrike: 400mb is not that bad...let it settle down...i have been using ubuntu without swap and just 2gb of ram.... [19:55] airstrike: no, that's not normal. [19:55] Ubuntu really needs to have an easy way for any user to change the swapiness level [19:56] gvfsd is using 100mb [19:56] hm, maybe i shoud try strict vt100 emulation [19:56] airstrike: top will give you detail how much memory your disk cache uses. You can also use 'processes' tab in sysmon [19:56] I'm actually surprised that a large amount of linux users don't know what swapiness is. [19:56] gvfsd-trash is eating my computer [19:57] I got a usb wifi (tp-link tl-wn722n) adapter, plugged it in, connected to a network, everything worked fine. After rebooting, it appears to connect but I can not send or receive any data including pinging the router. How can I fix this? [19:57] rcmaehl: i think that the average user should not need to know that. [19:57] gvfsd-trash is at 80% CPU usage and gvfsd is using more memory every second [19:57] andreylosev, can you do a ifconfig and check ? [19:57] andreylosev: does it work if you unplug the wifi and reconnect it? [19:57] airstrike: does it do the same thing after another reboot? [19:57] ayecee, no it doesn't [19:57] Here is another question, at the time of installing Ubuntu, what does home file encryption do? Does it protect against Windows virus downloads? [19:57] and pretty much every process is in the 'poll_schedule_timeout' waiting channel [19:57] ayecee, it did twice === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [19:58] JJ_: no, it protects against someone who makes off with your computer [19:58] JJ_: it prevents people on live cd's from seeing your files [19:58] JJ_: all it does is protect files in your home folder from someone stealing your laptop or computer. [19:58] JJ_: and that only works if you were logged out when the machine was taken [19:58] Ok. [19:58] airstrike: hmm. does the same thing happen if you log in as a different user? [19:58] Thanks [19:59] i have no other users [19:59] JJ_: home directory encryption is really useful if you find modern disk drives too fast [19:59] airstrike: could you make a user to test with? [19:59] i guess [19:59] JJ_: if you long for the days of 5.25" 3600RPM RLL drives, disk encryption is going to be right up your street [19:59] Anyone, help with blacklisting a driver? No idea how to do it. [19:59] airstrike: check "open files" in the processes tab in system mon..for that process... [19:59] airstrike: the reason I ask is that I'm pretty sure gvfsd is per-session, so if it doesn't happen with another user, it's likely some corruption in your user files rather than a system issue [19:59] Does anyone have anyone have experience with evolution and yahoo mail? I tried to setup my sister's mail with the same settings as my own and it keeps giving authentication errors. I also tried pop.mail.yahoo.com, pop.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com each with and without .plus and ports 995 and 993 and nothing worked. Any suggestions? [20:00] hm, changing escape behavior kind of solved it ;p pretty obvious [20:00] naomi_: which one? [20:00] going to logout and login with 'guest' [20:00] brb [20:00] bonjoyee, hmmm [20:00] andreylosev, had you connected the same adapater to some other OS system? [20:00] i have -lots- of @/dbus-vfs-daemon/socket-XXXXXX open [20:00] more than a thousand [20:01] naomi_: usually it's: echo "blacklist " | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/custom_blacklist.conf [20:01] naomi_: where you replace with the name of the driver you want to blacklist [20:01] hey folks, having a 'mare trying to clean my applications menu. I've done a fresh install, mounting my separate home partition at the time, and there are a load of surplus menu entries. I've tried removing ~/.config/menu/applications.menu and that does nothing... any ideas? [20:01] mouse: ports 995 and 993 are for encypted ssl sessions, make sure that is checked [20:01] airstrike: i dont know what to make of it..but am sure someone here does... [20:01] meganerdca, It was. [20:01] most of the old unused, or manually installed apps have no taken up home in "OTHER". I cannot seem to refresh my menu to show only stuff that is installed [20:01] andreylosev, your driver is the rt73usb , which can be found here, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 [20:02] i believe nautilus is to blame [20:02] gotta go ..bbl [20:02] i did update it a little ago [20:02] yofel: i typed "lsusb" and got the id number for my webcam. then typed "dmeg | grep " and it came up "Found 1.00 Device Video Webcam" what do i do now? [20:02] http://pastebin.com/rykS2zgi [20:02] gordonjcp: I am on a machine right now with an encrypted home folder, the performance is not that bad. [20:02] except i hadn't logged out, so maybe it's just causing this for the first time now [20:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1512193.html [20:02] sounds like me [20:02] I transferred the output via flash drive :) [20:03] naomi_: that doesn't tell us the driver though, and I'm not sure how to get it from just that information :/ [20:03] mouse: same version of Evolution? [20:03] umm. so how do i find out the driver? [20:03] meganerdca: I tried it just to see how bad it was, it made the machine unusable [20:03] With ext4, do you need to setup a block size? For example, this drive is only going to hold very large files. I think it will say block size is 4k, but does ext4 dynamically use bigger blocksizes or something? [20:03] meganerdca: although, I mostly do audio recording, so that really really hammers the disks [20:03] BluesKaj, so which one do I download? [20:04] gordonjcp: I keep my Virtualbox and VMware disk images inside the encrypted folder, it is not that bad [20:04] Detect Displays under nvidia settings is not detecting my VGA monitor connected to my laptop. Until today, I've had no problems. I've tried rebooting. Nothing is working v_v [20:04] naomi_: someone else might have a better idea, but 'lsmod' will show loaded drivers, you can then run 'modinfo ' for everyone and see what sounds like the one you need [20:04] nvm found it [20:04] Khisanth, Good question. I didn't check but mine and her's should both be up to date since I ran system update for her myself. [20:04] okay, so i'm 90% sure this is caused by me trying to install nautilus elementary first, then updating nautilus later [20:04] how can i fix this mess? [20:05] gordonjcp: I do that as well. My laptop has never done more than 8 tracks at a time so still not an issue for me. [20:05] andreylosev, had you connected it to some other OS system in your reboot phase? [20:05] nope [20:05] yofel: v4l1_compat 15495 2 uvcvideo,videodev is this it? [20:05] anyone know how to make the application show only installed apps [20:05] trying to config crossover connection, both nm-applet display disconnected grey [20:06] rjb1: you need to give them static ips...or have dhcp server on one of them... [20:06] andreylosev, updating the drivers should help [20:06] neurochrome: dpkg --get-selections |grep install [20:06] I had a similar problem trying to setup my grandpa's mail client too. It took about half an hour before I found the right combination of settings. I just can't remember them right now. [20:06] naomi_: that's a driver for video for linux v1 input, but it's used by 2 other driver, so that's probably not it [20:06] bonjoyee how can i install dhcp server? [20:06] naomi_: what's using uvcvideo and videodev? [20:07] anyone help with wacom tablet? [20:07] rjb1: dont need it if you are not going to use it often... [20:07] meganerdca, sorry, worded that badly, I want my 'applications menu' to only show installed apps [20:07] Ok, another question, Windows auto-download virues, unless I had Wine on my system, would such a virus download automatically on Linux? [20:07] yofel: videodev 40518 1 uvcvideo & v4l2_compat_ioctl32 11892 1 videodev. I really dont even know what any of these things mean [20:07] meganerdca, at present it shows old entries and cruft [20:07] brb [20:08] neurochrome: I thought it did that by default :) [20:08] meganerdca, not when you have a very old home partition that has done many releases [20:08] naomi_: uvc is the driver for webcams [20:08] Some shortcut keys such as ctrl+alt+d to minimize all windows do not always work, any ideas why? I am using ubuntu 10.10 [20:08] neurochrome: oh, I only have this problem with stuff I have added by hand [20:08] bonjoyee: dhcp3-server, action "start" failed === aeon-ltd is now known as kanyewest [20:08] meganerdca, that too [20:08] yofel: uvcvideo 62819 0 this? [20:08] rjb1: just give both the computers private static ips in the same subnet.. [20:08] neurochrome: you could replace the menu with the default one, I seem to remember having to do this once when I messed it up by hand === kanyewest is now known as aeon-ltd [20:09] hello [20:09] bonjoyee can i share internet this way?

[20:48] gordonjcp: not quite the same, but apt-get builddep will install all the dev packages necessary to compile a particular package [20:48] gordonjcp: only if the package has a "-dev" version. Otherwise, no, there is no general option for that. [20:49] ayecee: yes, but the app I'm working on isn't packaged for Ubuntu [20:49] botcity: I looked at a number. but u say it should work out of thebox [20:49] the guides are confusing [20:49] they talk of different versions of Ubuntu, etc. [20:50] rbil: add to /etc/modules [20:50] tried rewriting 10-wacom.conf file, but that didn't make a difference [20:50] UlTERiOR_: how?

[21:31] how come my custom layout remains intact? [21:31] had to upgrade from 9.04 to edit and keep 16 bit color depth on my SLOW 9250ati pci video adapter. Straight install to 10.10 defaults to 24 bit slowing me down!!! [21:32] !panels [21:32] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:32] !menus [21:33] erUSUL, I want to reset all menus, but tested that command with panels afterward as it didn't appear to do anything, and it didn't do anything to the panel, but it should right? [21:34] Hey, I have a working ubuntu 10.10 install, but no network hardware that works, how can I use the mythbuntu install cd to add the mythbuntu bits to ubuntu? [21:34] neurochrome: the menus are handled by an applet in the panel. not by the panel itself... [21:34] yeah, but I ran sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall gnome-menus [21:35] and ... menu [21:35] in the Ubuntu download page, how do I get just a list of perfectly ordinary mirrors? [21:35] neither did anything, but I would expect the gnome-panel command to reset my gnome-panel layout [21:35] I don't want to use the "enhanced" download page because it chooses the slowest mirror [21:35] purging all settings, but it didn't === react is now known as horus [21:36] neurochrome: apt-get wont touch configurations in your home folder === horus is now known as r34ct [21:36] neurochrome: or any user's folder [21:37] erUSUL, I have cleared all configs I can find in my ~/ folder [21:37] roffe: Which browser ?

Options that should be there in ff are not there for me. I use ati, and some site suggests there's an issue atm, but I haven't read up on it yet [21:40] ThinkT510: I gave up. Installing VLC seemed to solve the problem. I prefer VLC on Windows anyways, so why not on Ubuntu ;-) [21:41] dave50305: lol, glad you worked it out, thanks for reporting back [21:41] erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/n9AGAQ3D [21:42] hello [21:42] is there anyone using conky?

[22:23] im using virtualbox but i have been told that vmware is stronger ? [22:23] so what do you think ?

[22:24] folorn: lspci | grep -i vga [22:24] phonex01_: virtualbox has always worked well for me, also it's best to stay with open source [22:24] KombuchaKip: find . -execdir wc -l {} + [22:25] KombuchaKip: oh; you want the total of all the files [22:25] Anyone can help me with TwinView setup?? [22:25] erUSUL: I understand the first part, but what is the {} + ? [22:25] ok i will take your advice [22:25] Hello. Has anyone eveer had a GLXBadContext error while compiling anything with OpenGL?

[22:26] killall gnome-panel --> works [22:26] any ideas erUSUL? [22:26] stepnjump, it doesn't have compiling issues. When it runs, it outputs an error (on the pastebin) [22:26] I also included my output of lspci and glxinfo [22:26] I think it might be a render issue. [22:26] How horrible is this temperature for my laptop? temp1: +140.0°F (crit = +208.4°F) [22:27] No I mean in general, is it much quicker than 32bits?

[22:28] I don't see a difference, but I'd assume the more proccess it'd use, it'd run better on 64 bits [22:28] do you see a speed difference pvaldes? [22:28] Not really. [22:28] ok cool thanks.. Good luck with your question [22:28] KombuchaKip: { find . -type f -exec cat {} + ; } | wc -l [22:28] Thanks [22:28] KombuchaKip: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind [22:28] pvaldes, 64bit is not much better than 32 in terms of speed. It does allow more ram to be used though... [22:29] erUSUL: Thank you. [22:29] Can I put GNOME 3 on Ubuntu? [22:29] smw, I assumed that. stepnjump was asking, tho. [22:29] gordonjcp: farenheit those americans and their weird unit system ;P [22:30] are you serious ? [22:30] erUSUL: is a °F bigger or smaller than a hogshead? [22:30] what kind of card do i need ? radeon or something? [22:30] folorn: the problem is; if you want to know.- texture compression is a patented tech so free drivers like the ones intel use can not inmplement it [22:31] folorn: you have to use ati or nvidia with propietary drivers ( beccouse with the free ones you'll have the same problem ) [22:32] Anybody know a clever way of restoring a linux partition after a Win7 restore? [22:32] sounds like you need supergrub [22:32] so how could i do this without haveing to replace my video card or is there no other way? [22:32] folorn: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODEwOQ [22:33] Abhish: Is the partition actually gone or can you just not boot it currently? [22:33] !grub2 | Abhish [22:33] Abhish: 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 [22:33] gsfai I tried that. The partiton itself is a bit damaged. [22:33] gordonjcp: no idea ;P [22:33] I would boot in a live cd and fsck [22:33] tu [22:33] Abhish: What does "a bit damaged" mean exactly? === glutton is now known as nopf [22:34] Tried that. The live USB sees the existing partitions and tries to use the journaling on it. [22:34] erUSUL well would you happen to know where to find a copy of linux quake2 then and ill scratch the linux quake4 idea :( or is there no other way ? [22:34] Which causes the live boot to freeze. [22:35] Abhish: This is an Ubuntu LiveUSB? Ubuntu live shouldn't be trying to mount other partitions at boot. === r is now known as Guest16186 [22:36] folorn: try openarena? or any of the other quake3 derivatives ? [22:36] folorn: playdeb [22:36] hi, im trying to install grub from the live dvd with: grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda4 but i get "could not find device for /boot" [22:36] got open arena i just miss quake2 :(, so there's no ideas for quake2 the actual game ? [22:36] can i force it to install? [22:36] all i have is a / partition so /boot doesn't matter [22:37] whats deb? [22:37] !deb | folorn [22:37] folorn: 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. [22:37] Hi. I have an readline app called xyz and file with commands to xyz. If I do $ xyz < commands, then commands are succesfully executed in xyz, but after xyz comes across EOF, it finishes. How do I prevent it, so that I can type more commands myself? [22:38] negev: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [22:39] negev: And note that you almost never want to install grub's boot sector to a partition, like sda4. You should run "grub-install /dev/sda" (after following the preparatory steps in that guide). [22:39] Jordan_U: i do if im using a macbook pro :) [22:39] negev: No, you still don't. [22:39] really? oh ok [22:40] its failing because /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't exist [22:40] negev: Many guides state that you do, they are all wrong. [22:40] Jordan_U no, its openSUSE. but their IRC is asleep. I should be able to repair the partition with any standard tool though. [22:40] I think the problem is that my VGA controller is: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [22:40] This might sound really basic. But uh, i'm in terminal in Pictures and typed "ls" for the list. I'm just wondering how do i delete files through here? [22:40] and my OpenGL render is mesa [22:40] Jordan_U: why don't i have /boot/grub/stage1? [22:40] as shown by glxinfo|grep render [22:40] negev: you probably need to specify the root folder, it helps to have it mounted [22:40] negev: Because /boot/grub/stage1 is part of grub legacy, not grub2. [22:41] ah [22:41] negev: Follow the guide I linked to. [22:41] negev: that too [22:41] naomi_: "rm" for remove, as in "rm filename" [22:41] thanks. [22:42] and how would i remove 5 files at once? [22:42] naomi_: guess... [22:42] Abhish: While any recent distro should have the tools needed, it's difficult to use them if you can't even boot said distro :) I don't think you'll have a problem booting Ubuntu Live. === Guest84178 is now known as Freeaqingme [22:42] naomi_: rm * <- remove all files. don't do it [22:43] i mean is there a quicker way rather than typing out the 5 filenames [22:43] !tab | naomi_ [22:43] naomi_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:43] naomi_: rm *abc*.gif <- remove all gifs with abc in their name === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [22:44] naomi_: make sure you do not type 'rm * abc * .gif' or such [22:44] all my files are just Screenshot-1.png, Screenshot-2, etc. so would rm *screenshot* .png work? [22:44] Jordan_U: that failed, says i can only install grub by using blocklists and thats not recommended [22:44] naomi_: If you use rm with a wildcard like '*' you should probably use the '-i' option to prevent accidentily removing something unintentionally. [22:44] because i have GPT [22:44] negev: You should create a BIOS boot partition. [22:44] naomi_: gah! don't do ' ' before .png! will delete all files!! [22:45] Jordan_U agreed. However, getting opensuse on a liveUSB is a pain, and my netbook is the only machine with it on anymore. [22:45] what? >.> [22:45] Jordan_U: macs don't use a BIOS, its all EFI, just like sandy bridge now [22:45] can i do that without reinstalling osx? [22:45] meganerdca: They still have a BIOS implementation, and that is what negev is currently using. [22:46] naomi_: oh, not that bad, sorry. your command only would remove als *screenshot* files , like screenshot.txt as well.... the '-i' advice is a good one! [22:46] oh you mean dont leave a space before .png? [22:46] naomi_: yes :) [22:47] negev: Create a small partition (around 1 MiB) with no filesystem and add the "bios_grub" flag to it. You can do this with gparted. [22:47] Is anybody here testing Ubuntu 11.04!? I'm having some wireless problem, the connection is not stable. Any idea of what could it be? [22:47] matcouto: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 [22:47] So where do i put the -i? << rm *screenshot*.png >> where's the -i go [22:48] naomi_: rm * .png matches *all files* and then .png which doesn't exist. but removes all files first and complains later :/ [22:48] Hi [22:48] I need help [22:48] naomi_: rm -i *somepattern*png [22:48] hey all [22:48] naomi_: and then confirm each delete with [22:48] someone help me please [22:48] somepattern? [22:49] !ask | Cem [22:49] Cem: 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. :-) === mue_ is now known as mue [22:49] nice bot [22:49] Cem, yes, I do like him [22:50] Well, I turned off my Ubuntu with the bad way to. Then when I tried to run it, it said that its filesystem was damaged. I just want to know if there is somehow to recover the information in the computer. [22:51] naomi_: whatever. *screenshot*.png . this is is called 'a pattern' cause it contains 'wildcards' (* and ? are the wildcards) ... the process of 'applying patterns to directory listings' is called 'file name matching' or 'globbing' [22:51] Cem, did you try a bootable cd? [22:51] Oh okay, thanks. [22:52] Cem, maybe run fsck? [22:52] smw I tried some Linux CDs [22:52] Linux OS and things like that [22:52] even the lower ubuntu [22:52] the 10.04 [22:52] I tried just to run, not to install it [22:52] and I couldn't... [22:52] and it could not mount it? [22:52] !enter | Cem [22:52] Cem: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[23:08] royale1223: Isn't there a performance deficit if I install thru windows? I already created a partition for where ubuntu will go when I was setting up win7 [23:09] then open this [23:09] https://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/popout [23:09] Jordan_U: im apt-get upgrading from the livedvd to see if a newer version fixes it [23:09] hey guys I got a problem with flash player i think, in firefox 4.0 cpu usage goes up to 80% and the video playback also flickers, do I need to reinstall flash or update or anything? [23:09] Rehan: is there? i dont think so. where did you hear this? [23:09] Rehan: That is, trying to use the Windows bootloader as the primary bootloader instead of grub will make your life much more difficult. [23:09] what do you think would be the impact of 100% utilization of swap space would be ? [23:10] having installed python 3.2 how do i make it the "default" python version to use by programs?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:12] royale1223: When you run wubi installer it says if you use the install inside windows option there's a drop in disk performance and no ability to hibernate.

So Grub2 is much more reliable than Win7's bootloader? Why is that? Thanks! [23:13] what is the apt command to reinstall an app? [23:13] Rehan: okay. didnt know that. [23:13] --reinstall [23:13] royale1223, don't do gui stuff :-P. Sorry. [23:14] Hey, I have ubuntu 10.10, my touchpad seems to shake when I leave my finger on it, or move it slowly.

[23:15] * jarmour loves everyone of you nerdy linux geeks === majidkhan is now known as _majid [23:15] pdominey, if you say so [23:15] Rehan: Installing grub to a partition is unreliable because there is no embedding area available, while there are reliable alternatives that will still allow you to load grub from the windows bootloader they require a lot of manual setup. [23:15] royale1223, what is wrong with it? [23:15] negev: Yes,. [23:15] Rehan, This is your first time with Linux? [23:15] smw: i dont like it.

[23:15] smw: dowsnt look neat like the default panel [23:16] * dcc i am sorry to bother you guys but is anyone from china in here, need little bit of help please [23:16] Rehan, You will regret only giving it 10GB, once installed you will like it.

[23:17] Rehan, Sure for now, that is a smart move, what I mean is the more you use it the more you will like it. [23:17] Auriga: if i'm going to keep all of my media (movies,pics,music) on my win7 ntfs partition, wouldn't 10GB be enough? [23:17] ambiance + faenza icon pack [23:18] Auriga: oh ok [23:18] Hi! I'm testing the random efficiency with a script that sums n randomized vectors (angle and modules), which I posted here: http://pastebin.com/viXm8b9P . The problem is and getting too large modules. Is pseudo-random so bad or is there an error in my test? [23:18] royale1223, not ubuntu-mono-dark icons? [23:18] Rehan, Yeah it should be, but programs, updates etc. will eat away at 10GB sooner than you think I'm sure. [23:19] smw: faenza dark actually [23:19] royale1223, do you have ubuntu-mono-dark? [23:19] hey guys I got a problem with flash player i think, in firefox 4.0 cpu usage goes up to 80% and the video playback also flickers, do I need to reinstall flash or update or anything? === abart is now known as bart [23:19] royale1223, can you try it? [23:19] Rehan, I started out like you, Wubi install & all of that, after a while I installed beside Windows, slowly over time I have increased the alotted disk space Linux has. === majidkhan is now known as naturalpsychic [23:19] smw: look at the screenshot again please. === bart is now known as Guest92087 [23:20] lasha, if you have Google Toolbar installed that will slow FF4 donw terribly.

You can move your entire gnome config and start over if you want. However, many gnome programs may lose their config [23:21] question to python lovers, if i want to install python I need to install IDE for python as well? [23:21] Rehan, No I installed on a laptop first. [23:21] alex86: no [23:21] alex86: you can use any editor you like [23:21] genii-around: thats one sleek command, thanks [23:21] Auriga: started with a 10g partition. now its about 400gb [23:21] Jordan_U: working now, thanks for all your help [23:21] alex86: come to that, you can use any editor you *don't* like if you feel masochistic [23:21] hello [23:21] oneliner: You're welcome [23:21] negev: You're welcome.

[23:22] i seem to have made gimp full screen so it covers the bottom bar and the top bar. how do i fix it! [23:22] This may be a long shot, but I need help installing PDO_OCI on my 10.04 Desktop machine. I have instantclient 11.2, and it can connect via oci, but not pdo. Any takers? [23:22] Auriga: oh i see. yeah i don't really play games at all [23:22] royale1223, That's what I mean, the more you use it, the easier it is, & the more useful it is. [23:22] Rehan, What is your primary usage? [23:22] negev: You probably also want to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change what device the grub packaging is set to install to in the future. [23:22] Rehan, I am now at the point with Linux where the only reason I have a dual boot with MS is gaming... [23:23] Auriga: email,web,statistical analysis, and movies from time to time [23:23] Auriga: i agree completely. i just found out today that there is a nerolinux available. :p [23:23] well, thanks. I have discovered that i have python already. if I install python 3 will it overwrite my older one - pyton 2.6? [23:23] royale1223, nerolinux? As in Nero Burning Media Center? [23:23] Auriga: what besides gaming being limited do you hate about ubuntu? [23:23] negev: It will ask you other questions, just leave them at their default (some will be blank, that is normal). When it gets to the install devices question use space bar to select / deselect devices. Make sure that /dev/sda is selected but *no* partititions (like sda1). [23:23] Auriga: thats why i like linux. surprises me everyday [23:24] Auriga: yeah [23:24] royale1223, Lol, Thanks for the info, I didn't know.. [23:24] Rehan, Some small things like how files are represented in windows... [23:24] Rehan, Which has changed a lot of late for the good. [23:24] Auriga: its trial ofcorse but u can find serials if you look for it. [23:24] royale1223, Thanks. [23:25] how do i get into SAM to change a password [23:25] Auriga: you're welcome [23:25] i seem to have made gimp full screen so it covers the bottom bar and the top bar. how do i fix it! [23:25] Rehan, There isn't much to hate about Linux, or at least not Ubuntu because there is so much help available, & to be honest after a while you figure things out on your own anyways [23:25] Bilz, Maybe F11? [23:25] gordonjcp: well, thanks. I have discovered that i have python already. if I install python 3 will it overwrite my older one - pyton 2.6?

[23:40] Jordan_U: ok cool. one last question. If I want to elevate to root when editing a file via the GUI, is there any way to do it without opening up nautilus from the start elevated? [23:40] Ubuntu needs to have an option to install it with all sounds turned off by default [23:41] since it's now 23:40 and everyone in about a two mile radius now knows that someone just booted Ubuntu [23:41] gordonjcp, Lol, I know that feeling. [23:42] Rehan: You can use "gksudo gedit" from a terminal or from the alt+F2 dialog. [23:42] are you speake Persion ? [23:42] it's so infuriating, since every update seems to put the bloody sounds back [23:42] are you speake Persion ? [23:42] are you speake Persion ? [23:42] ebrahim: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:42] to remove ubuntu, simply delete the partitions it's on. To remove grub, replace it with a different bootloader, for example windows's [23:42] !arabic [23:42] For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [23:42] !persian [23:43] Aginor: I think the person just for killed. [23:43] also, Persian != Arabic [23:43] but all those squiggly lines look the same! [23:43] and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port .. [23:43] gordonjcp, yeah, I realised I was stupid just after I implied it :/ [23:43] and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port .. [23:43] gordonjcp: sudo apt-get didn`t help. as u said. it installed python 3.1 but by default is still python 2.6 [23:43] gordonjcp: why not just unstall the sound system? [23:44] raido_: because that wants to uninstall lots of stuff [23:44] Diamondcite, fair enough [23:44] raido_: and I do actually want it to make sounds, just absolutely no system sounds of any kind ever [23:45] gordonjcp: hmmm, [23:45] i need help with resetting my panel. [23:45] raido: i have installed python 3 but by default is python 2.6 I wanna delete older version. but it is dependent on a lot of packages essential for the system work. is there any walkarounds? [23:45] meganerdca: ganerdca> lupusclan: you will probably need minicom as well [23:45] Rehan: yep [23:45] * WeThePeople se ha marchado (Quit: Leaving) [23:45] yes [23:45] * Daekdroom (~marcos@186.213.241.98) ha entrado en #ubuntu [23:45] lupusclan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:46] alex86: if you remove python2.6 you will break many things installed by default in ubuntu [23:46] gordonjcp: alias "python" python3 ot change your environment variable for python === iqpi is now known as |qp| [23:46] raido_: that's more for alex86 [23:46] alex86: you will also likely break them if you set python3 to default [23:46] trism: ok, i got it. it is fate then [23:46] gordonjcp: doh! [23:47] hi [23:47] royale [23:47] alex86: alias "python" python3 ot change your environment variable for python [23:47] Auriga: any idea? [23:47] Achylles_: me? [23:47] Hi, I am making a home file server with ubuntu 10.04 and after the reboot after installation, I am stuck at the grub command line. Any help would be appreciated [23:48] trism: i wonder why ubuntu 10.10 is still dependent on such an old version of python? [23:48] royale1223, type 'killall gnome-panel' in your terminal and that's it :) [23:48] alex86: it will take a lot of work to port everything to python 3, it will happen eventually though [23:48] had win ... switch to linux from win administered through a serial port with software called data transfers and to have linux I recognize the com port and tty calls it now lack is a graphical interface for file transfers over port tty (com to win) as did data transfer and tried minicom, kermit and Zmodem but none gives graphical interface, also use uucp and emulate the program transfers data to win .. using wine, but not reconose com or tty port .. [23:49] Achylles_: did that, but this is what i get. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1591/screenshot2rw.png [23:49] trism: well at least for python 2.7 they could do it :) [23:49] alex86: natty is default python 2.7 [23:49] trism: thabnks for the asnwer [23:50] guys is there a way to change the location where the default home directories (documents, pictures, music,etc) point to in Ubuntu? [23:50] trism: so perhaps this is the same reason why python 2.6 is default on macOS as well [23:50] hi, I moved my home partition, for some reason now ownership is root (!) Cannot put it back to myusername:myusername. Used sudo chown -R name:name /pathtohome/. The command gives no errors, but no ownership change... why ?!? [23:51] alooo === |qp| is now known as {qp} [23:51] ruggero: i think you have to add user i options in fstab [23:51] Rehan: rename them? [23:51] royale1223, try to restart the X server then and see the result [23:51] Rehan: What exactly are you trying to do? [23:51] Hi, I am making a home file server with ubuntu 10.04 and after the reboot after installation, I am stuck at the grub command line. Any ideas? [23:52] princej88: Do you get any error message at boot? [23:52] gordonjcp: have those directories point to my third partition where i have docs,pics,music directories [23:52] royale1223 thanks === {qp} is now known as [qp] === [qp] is now known as {qp} [23:52] Jordan_U: no i don't, i typed 'boot' and and it says 'no loaded kernel' [23:52] Rehan: make symlinks then [23:52] Achylles_: whats the command for it?> [23:52] i have about 19 million files to delete and the normal delete says it'll take about 6 hours anyone know a faster way to do this without formatting? [23:53] gordonjcp: that makes me lose the image on the folder, you know how each folder has a nice little icon for what it contains, the music note, the video reel, photos, etc [23:53] princej88: And this is immediately after a normal install? [23:53] Jordan_U 'error: no loaded kernal" i meant [23:53] raido_: how can i switch between default python version and new one? without removing old one?? [23:53] Jordan_U: yes. [23:53] princej88: Do you have more than one hard drive? [23:53] <{qp}> makaveli0129: use rm [23:53] ruggero: my fstab line is "/dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults 0 0" actually [23:53] Rehan: I'm pretty sure you can set a .desktop file for that [23:53] gordonjcp: plus wouldn't the symlink have to be inside the folder, so i'd have to go into Pictures, then click on the Symlink? [23:53] royale1223, if you are using Gnome, do cd /etc/init.d && ./gdm restart [23:53] Rehan: the symlink would be to the target directory [23:53] Jordan_U: no i don't, but when i typed ls. it listed '(hd0) and (hd0,1) [23:53] qp: how long do u think that will take? [23:54] gordonjcp: set a .desktop file? Should I google setting a .desktop file? === {qp} is now known as {_qp_} [23:54] Jordan_U: is that normal for having only one hd? [23:54] alex86: if you need to execute some certain program with the newer python the just do $python3 programname [23:54] princej88: Yes. [23:54] Achylles_: thanks === {_qp_} is now known as {qp} [23:54] I found that my problem regarding OpenGL is because it's rendering using a wront DRI driver [23:54] wrong, even. [23:54] I have an intel chipset (dell inspiron 14) [23:54] princej88: What is the output of "source /boot/grub/grub.cfg"? [23:54] <{qp}> don't know but i am sure it will be faster [23:54] ok thank you it is a directory so should i use -rf? [23:55] <{qp}> are all those files in the same folder? have they any patron you can give? [23:55] royale1223, thanks a lot, I try to play with fstab using your example [23:55] Jordan_U: nothing comes up [23:55] yea all in same folder and patron? [23:55] princej88: If you press escape do you see a menu? [23:55] Jordan_U: just shows grub> _ [23:55] <{qp}> makaveli0129: sorry i write a word in my native language, sorry. [23:55] royale1223, hope not to mess up more than this...! (with home at root:root ownership many things do not work !) [23:55] ruggero: youre welcome [23:55] Jordan_U: no i dont, i just skips to the next line [23:56] qp: no worries [23:56] <{qp}> makaveli0129: and inside that folder there are more files you don't want to delete? [23:56] hi [23:56] qp: there was but i switched to my windows box and windows then put it in a recycle bin on the drive so i'm just gunna delete that now [23:56] princej88: Could you boot a liveCD and run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [23:57] Jordan_U: let me try that. I will let you knwo what happens [23:57] Achylles_: i get this error on restarting gdm. http://paste.ubuntu.com/587108/ [23:57] <{qp}> makaveli0129: so if you delete that folder you will only loose that files you dont want [23:57] qp: correct [23:57] royale1223, what do you meant with "to add user i options in fstab". Do you have your example ? [23:58] how does ubuntu act when a key like fn+f4 (to switch to external monitor on laptops) is pressed... Can I map that to a different key? [23:58] royale1223, Have you done that as root? [23:58] qp: but i don't want it to go to recycle bin on ubuntu cuz then i have to empty it and that will take forever as well [23:58] ruconse: can you pastebin your fstab? [23:58] raido_: but if i want to work with new version from IDE? [23:58] <{qp}> makaveli0129: then open a terminal and type: rm -r /the/folder/where/are/all/the/files and dont worry they will be enterely deleted [23:59] ruggero: can you pastebin your fstab?
