[00:00] ugh [00:00] jackd is totally broken in 10.04 [00:00] why is it trying to pull in Qt4? [00:00] Achylles_: when i sudo it, it says "wrong instance" [00:01] oh, this is ridiculous, that's the most retarded thing I've ever seen [00:01] jackd depends on qjackctl [00:01] royale1234, my fstab is simple, just the usual cdrom and floppy mounts, plus the swap and ext4 HD mount [00:01] Where can i find the downloads from Ubuntu software center? [00:01] SarcasMo2: There are plenty of public mirrors [00:01] what partition do you have as home ruggero ? [00:02] alex86: also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520835 [00:02] SarcasMo2: everything you downloaded with ubuntu software center,synaptic,apt-get is in /var/cache/apt/archives [00:02] raido_ thnx [00:02] royale1223, I have nothing referring to my home in fstab. I moved my home using command line. [00:03] SarcasMo2: select faster or closer mirror to you [00:03] royale1223, do you have a command called service? [00:03] royale1223, copied files from old home using cp -a [00:03] is BS-Player available for linux [00:03] Achylles_: command called service? whats that? i dont think so. [00:03] zvacet: thx [00:04] SarcasMo2:np [00:04] royale1223, this is my fstab HD mount: UUID=0cc68ffb-0d2f-491a-90f3-71bf1b58dbc6 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [00:04] ruggero: okay [00:04] royale1223, because if you have you can just do: sudo service gdm restart [00:05] Achylles_: restart: Unknown instance: [00:05] NewWorld: Yes. But I don't really know what kind of a command is used to toggle display in ubuntu .. that was my main question [00:05] is there a faster way to switch desktops? (keyboard combo) [00:06] ruggero: give me output of "sudo fdisk -l" [00:06] royale1223: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:06] royale1223, now logging in seems to work as usual and almost all functions are OK with the new home folder. However, some settings configurations were not OK, I checked and my new home folder is completely owned by root:root, not me. I　tried all methods to restore it back, but did not work [00:06] royale1223, ok just a sec [00:06] Asad: try 'xset dpms force off' === tschundeee_ is now known as tschundeee [00:06] SarcasMo2: Faster how? [00:07] royale1223, so you have to hit ctrl + alt + backspace to restart the X Server > which means logout > login. [00:07] What program can I use thats like teamviewer? Where my friend (using windows) can connect to me and use my desktop? [00:07] XuMuK: that did it, thanks [00:07] how is freenode connected to reddit? [00:07] Gump-: Haha why don't you ask them [00:07] royale1223, it is few lines, should just paste-and-copy it or there is a better way ?

[00:08] NewWorld: I want to use my keyboard [00:08] paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [00:08] Gump-: #reddit [00:08] it just seems like all the official reddit channels are on freenodes, so im wondering [00:08] oh, k. guess i could ask them [00:08] * Gump- herrrr derrrrrr [00:08] royale1223, Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [00:08] /dev/sda1 * 1 25265 202940906 7 HPFS/NTFS [00:08] /dev/sda2 25266 60801 285442593+ 5 Extended [00:08] /dev/sda5 30418 46279 127411483+ 83 Linux [00:08] /dev/sda6 60046 60801 6072538+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [00:08] ruggero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Would it be better to ignore her? [00:11] i am currently 100% confused [00:11] royale1223, it is a folder inside /dev/sda11 [00:12] How the hell can my system have no device file for the sound output and for the microphone input? [00:12] gsfai: I'm coming to the conclusion that Ubuntu just doesn't do sound [00:12] i mean it is starting to get annoying [00:12] ruggero: a folder inside sda11? which folder? [00:12] gsfai: You have no /dev/dsp [00:12] gsfai: except for obnoxiously loud startup sounds that wake up the entire village [00:12] XD [00:12] Ermm, is Terminal Server Client the same as Teamviewer? Like I dont just want to screenshare, i want him to be able to do things on my laptop [00:13] because of course there's no way to stop it blasting out its startup sound and if you forget that the PC is plugged into the mixer... [00:13] ruggero: sda11 is in /dev ... those are device files. You won't find folders in there [00:13] royale1223, a folder with my name: /myname. There are other folders there. [00:13] gordonjcp: Worst time is when it does this during lectures xD [00:14] cat: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [00:14] gsfai: You are massively fucked xD [00:14] ruggero: d u see a folder home in your root?

[00:14] NewWorld: doing it at 23:40 was quite bad [00:15] NewWorld: it doesnt even make sense, 90% of the programs can play music, and record stuff... i just seem to be unable to do it myself or with the remaining 10% [00:15] Jordan_U: let me know what you think. [00:15] i think im going in the process of 'HOW DO I PLAYED MUSIC' [00:15] gsfai: What is your sound daemon? [00:15] NewWorld: lsmod? [00:15] royale1223, this is my prompt. http://paste.ubuntu.com/587120/ [00:16] naomi__, So you can use ssh depending on what you want to be done in your laptop [00:16] gsfai: PulseAudio, Alsa, JACK?

[00:17] royale1223, yes I see a home folder in my root. [00:17] royale1223, ok [00:17] he wants to get ubuntu. and he just wants to be able to connect to my laptop and just look around, yknow? i have no idea what program to get or where to install it. [00:17] gsfai: Maybe they are conflicting with each other :S why do you need them all? [00:17] NewWorld: well i dont know, i just remember being able to work with all of them [00:17] Rehan: Yes, but kinda depends how much RAM you have [00:18] its probably pulseaudio though [00:18] naomi__: have you installed ubuntu yet? [00:18] naomi__: I don't have a gui in front of me, but there is a remote desktop setting under your System menu. That will allow someone with VNC to connect to your computer. [00:18] royale1223, ls -la from which folder? I paste from root now [00:18] NewWorld: 6GB. Would that work? [00:18] Yeah royale. [00:18] naomi__, ssh [00:18] Rehan: Yep more than enough. I have 2GB and no swap [00:18] ruggero: do it from /media/disk52/ruggero_home [00:18] K i'll try that [00:19] gsfai: What are you trying to play sound in and it's not working? [00:19] NewWorld: ok great. The other question I have is when I choose the mount folder for the partition, what folder should I select? / or /home? [00:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/587121/ [00:19] naomi__: or just use ssh [00:19] royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587121/ [00:19] Rehan: 'mount folder'? [00:19] royale1223, do it again [00:19] NewWorld: sound from tuxguitar, but the basic problem, is that i NEED a device file to record from! [00:19] Rehan: are you installing ubuntu [00:19] NewWorld: it asks for where the partition should be mounted or something similar when i create the partition to install ubuntu [00:19] royale1223: naomi__ : I think she wants a GUI something; she doesn't sound like she's up for setting up and using SSH [00:20] zvacet: yeah [00:20] idk what ssh is lol. or how to connect the two.. like on teamviewer you just have an id and password you enter. [00:20] arecord does fine, but where in heaven does it take its data from? [00:20] Rehan: if you do you can make two partitions root / about 10 GB and home /home for resr of space [00:20] NewWorld, ssh can open GUI as well [00:20] royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587122/ [00:21] zvacet: ok what do you recommend if i only have one partition? [00:21] raido_: what i have done. I have installed IDE and interpreter of version 3.1 and not I can work in envirnment with python3. btw it lanches python3 from terminal in response to command python3 [00:21] Rehan: having separate home is good when it comes to reinstall fresh install [00:21] Rehan: you must have root and format it as ext4 [00:21] ruggero: do "cd /home && ls -la" [00:22] really need help!! my gnome session quits everytime i use a QT app [00:22] ok [00:22] please help!!

[00:23] Rehan: It's best to install on Logical... or else you might have problems with MBR and boot flags and what not. These problems are fixable but just time-consuming to fix [00:24] does anyone know why my gnome session will quit/crash (back to login gdm) whenever I use a QT app [00:24] ? [00:24] alex86: because you want to use 3 and the path is now set to 2.* === DrM is now known as DrManhattan [00:24] does anyone know what command line to check whether a CD/DVD exists in the Drive? [00:24] royale1223, "nancy" is my wife name. "ruggero" is mine. I moved my home folder to another disk, because I　use much more space and root disk is smaller. [00:24] NewWorld: ok cool, thanks. [00:24] well i'm off to go install this bad boy [00:25] will be back with more questions soon :) [00:25] pp7: Why don't you run the app from terminal... but run it through 'tee' and log the error messages. Then re-login and read that err msg file [00:25] when i tried to upgrade to 10.10 from 8.10 it showed me an error msg help!!!!! wtf.....when i tried to upgrade to 10.10, it gave Error during commit 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex, probably a dependency cycle, Restoring original system state. pls hlp [00:25] Rehan: gl)) [00:25] NewWorld: thanks!

[00:26] udayan: you can not skip versions when you upgrade [00:26] royale1223, I think ext4, wait I verify [00:26] i did not do anythng manually. jst used upgrade manager..then... [00:27] udayan: it should be 8.10>9.04>9.10>10.04>10.10 [00:27] ruggero: do "cp -R /home /media/disk52/" [00:27] gsfai: Maybe the file is /dev/audio ? Have you looked through /dev/ thouroughly? [00:27] ndxtg, lshw|grep cd [00:27] raido_: ok, how then i can the file path there i have installed python 3.1? [00:27] is there an equivalent to the board game risk in the Ubuntu software center? [00:28] zvacet: i did not do anythng manually. jst used upgrade manager..then.. [00:28] alex86: what? [00:28] NewWorld: yeap [00:28] but its nowhere to be found [00:28] udayan: 8.10 is not supported any more that is source of your problem [00:28] gsfai: Why don't you pastebin 'ls -al /dev' [00:28] oi [00:28] raido_: how can i find where i have installed python3? [00:29] NewWorld: no output in the log file [00:29] :( [00:29] royale1223, /media/disk52 is a ntfs file system. It contained a window partition. [00:29] zvacet: so wat do i do now!! [00:29] Achylles_: thanks for that but it doesn't tell about CD/DVD presents, it just tells the dvd drive presents [00:29] alex86: $which python3 [00:29] NewWorld: im going to sleep, ill do it tomorrow! [00:29] cya! [00:29] I have a Dell laptop with an internal Sprint wireless broadband card with GPS. I no longer use the broadband card, but I would like to be able to access the GPS.

Been running 32 since Lucid, and thought I'd try 64 for Natty. [00:35] It is try there is a hell and it is not a place for any of Goods people or any one of the world it was created for the demons and the devil [00:35] sorry for flood my mistake [00:36] ruggero: whoa.. you cant do that.. you need a empty partition for /home [00:36] raido_, the problem is that in the dir there are my python3 files are python2.6 files as well. [00:37] raido, everything seems to work well. Only some settings -for example audio volume control- and others are grayed and do not work. I googled around and discovered that these do not work if ownership is not yours. I discovered that all my home folder files are root:root and not myname:myname. So I used chown command to fix it, but it gives no error, but no change... [00:37] alex86: Why is that a problem? [00:37] ruggero: and you are sure that the partition you moved your home to is a linux partition type? [00:38] ruggero: What are the permissions like? Like rwx? [00:38] In 10.10, I have a keyboard layout indicator by the clock, and 5 different workspaces through Compiz. When I select one keyboard layout on one workspace, it changes back to the default keyboard layout when I switch to a different workspace. Also, my "hotkey" for switching layouts only works one-way. It'll switch to the second layout, but not back to the original. How do I fix these problems? [00:38] NewWorld: i though that python3 is separate folder, so i can select append it to PYTHONPATH [00:38] Okay, so I still have the same problem I did earlier today [00:38] I am where I can begin to work on it [00:38] raido_: he actually copied files from /home/ruggero to s subfolder an ntfs partion. [00:39] alex86: That doesn't sound like a problem to me :S [00:39] Can someone help me reconfigure Ubuntu 10.10 to read my windows files? [00:39] NewWorld: actually i don`t get there i can find this PYTHONPATH? [00:39] ffmpeg package doesnt come with mp3 encoding? [00:39] raido_: no wonder he is having permission problems. [00:39] I am using them on the same computer, alongside windows [00:40] royale1223: He need to have home in a linux partition if the permissions and ownerships are to work correctly, also he will need to usermod to change the path to his home dir [00:40] alex86: 'echo $PYTHONPATH' it doesn't show anything for me though that is a real variable [00:40] raido,NewWorld,royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587130/ [00:40] raido, sorry for Japanese characters [00:40] ScarabDrowner: You can use 'setxkbmap [gb,us,es, etc.]' to set the keyb layout [00:41] raido_: yeah. but he cant make linux partion, no space i think [00:41] ruggero: that does not show the partition type, what is the partition type [00:41] is anyone able to help me? [00:41] mikehj316: Have you installed that ntfs-3g? [00:41] NewWorld: well to me as well [00:41] alex86: So what do you want? [00:41] NewWorld: what is that? [00:41] raido, it is a ntfs partition [00:41] ruggero: I meant in the /dev folder. Like this: 'ls -la /dev' [00:42] ruggero: you need to copy those files back. [00:42] NewWorld: change python path so, i can work with python3 by default, not with python2.6 [00:42] mikehj316: It's a program you can run from your terminal to switch keyb layout [00:42] ruggero: you need not to have home in a partition type other that linux, i.e. ext, xfs, jfs etc [00:42] NewWorld: Where can I find it? [00:42] NewWorld: the reason I set up a hotkey to switch layouts was so I didn't have to go and do setxkbmap every time I needed to switch back and forth [00:43] that was awesome. [00:43] raido, ok... so I　have to redo all procedure. Strange that all else seems to work [00:43] i have all of my email on an IMAP server arranged in folders. [00:43] i just tried using evolution for the first time. [00:43] alex86: running 'python' should default to python3. To run the python2 interpreter there is a seperate bin called 'python2', do you have both? [00:43] mikehj316: You know the terminal? [00:43] it took it upon itself to filter ALL OF MY EXISTING FOLDERS and moved half of my sorted messages into Junk. [00:43] WHAT THE F [00:43] NewWorld: yes [00:43] ruggero: yes, the files will work but the linux kernel does not respect or understand the permission and ownership flags on other FS types [00:44] NewWorld: yes. i have both, but python 2 is by default. [00:44] what a complete pos Evolution is. wow. [00:44] ruggero: sou you will have those issues [00:44] ScarabDrowner: You can assign a keyboard shortcut to a setxkbmap command. That's my solution for you lol :P more like workaround [00:44] can not believe Ubuntu doesn't ship with Thunderbird as default. [00:44] NewWorld: but i want to work only with python3 [00:44] ScarabDrowner: I can give you my script that cycles through keyboard layouts :) [00:44] raido, I see... that's maybe why chown just ignore my commands [00:44] ruggero: correct [00:45] alex86: So when you type 'python' in terminal, it goes into the 2.7 interpreter? [00:45] mikehj316: Search for NTFS in software centre, it could be there. Otherwise search for it in synaptic [00:45] NewWorld: yeah, 2.6 [00:45] NewWorld: is that the aliases to switch to qwerty if you type aeou and to dvorak if you type asdf? [00:45] Ok, I will try again with another disk. Or format everything like royale1223 said. Thank to you all...! [00:46] raido, royale1223, Ok, I will try again with another disk. Or format everything like royale1223 said. Thank to you all...! [00:46] alex86: What does it show when you do 'ls -al /usr/bin | grep python' ? [00:46] alex86: if you didnt set your variable yet, your wasting time [00:46] ScarabDrowner: Yes actually haha, and one for Russian you can easily remove :) [00:46] How do I install a new Docky Theme? [00:46] so, there are like a million tutorials out there on how to make bootable usb drives with ubuntu on them from windows, can't find very many that go the other way around [00:47] ruggero: remember that you have to copy all contents ohf /home to the root of the new partition. not just your files. [00:47] NewWorld:I am using an HP and I found the devices, but only certain files are visible. Do I need to go into Windows and copy some of those files into that folder? [00:47] raido, royale1223, bytheway I am in Yokohama, Japan. No problems here. Let's hope they fix these nuclear plants... we are on all TVs all over the world. Bad publicity for us !

[00:48] neil_: There was another person with that problem half an hour ago. Play around with 'qtconfig'? Change the theme maybe [00:49] NewWorld: it shows a lot of stuff. i guess this are rights to read or write files, near them are root, the size and date [00:49] NewWorld: it happens when playing with qtconfig too :( [00:49] raido_: i can`t find PYTHONPATH [00:50] What program can I use Krfb with? [00:50] alex86: If you want to set PYTHONPATH, you do 'PYTHONPATH=/some/directory/to/python && export PYTHONPATH' . Hope it helps [00:50] NewWorld: My regular Documents and Settings for W7, Windows files are missing. It does not show the C drive as mounted, but there are others that are. the files that show are backup files that are part of HP [00:50] fsk you fafsa.org!!! won't let me use it on Linux [00:50] alex86: If it doesn't, paste the output of the ls -al cmd I sent you [00:50] *.gov [00:51] mikehj316: Install ntfs-3g with synaptic... if those windows partitions are using NTFS (most likely) [00:52] royale1223, ok thanks. I think I can do that. I think I　messed up because I didn't know ntfs was not functional for linux... thanks a lot [00:52] Can anyone receive this? [00:52] NewWorld: how do I find it online? Its not in the store [00:52] Aaron_: yeah [00:52] thanks [00:52] neil_: what is your graphics card?

[00:54] nope [00:54] mikehj316: Search for package 'ntfs-3g' in that package manager [00:55] im on my toshiba tecra 8000 [00:55] NewWorld: found that file. I am ready for the next step [00:55] HELLO [00:55] mikehj316: Okay right click and install it :) [00:56] nvm found it [00:56] !hi|union131 [00:56] SAY WHAT IF YOU CAN SEE MT CHAT [00:56] NewWorld: it says its installed lol! [00:56] hi [00:56] !hi | union131 [00:56] can anyone help me with something on my laptop [00:57] mikehj316: In terminal do 'fdisk -l' , identify the partitions you would like to use in Ubuntu [00:57] !hi| union131 [00:57] !hi|\ union131 [00:57] !question [00:57] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:58] NewWorld: what would the partition be called as default for windows? C [00:58] can anyone help me with somethin on my laptop [00:58] i want to download the game called alliance of valaint arms [00:58] neil_: can you try uninstalling xfs? [00:58] hmm [00:59] what is that? [00:59] !info xfs [00:59] xfs (source: xfs): X font server. In component universe, is optional.

[00:59] YO LISTEN UP [00:59] hmm [00:59] mikehj316: They have names like '/dev/sda1' . If you have gparted installed, run it, it will be much easier to id partitions with it [00:59] me? [00:59] what will uninstalling xfs break? [00:59] me neil? [00:59] NewWorld: okay thanks. If I randomly log off I did something wrong :P [00:59] milamber [00:59] NewWorld: i guess it didn`t help. i have showed the directory to there python 3 is. but python2 is by default [01:00] neil_: it's optional so it shouldn't break anything. [01:00] Hi people, I have rebooted and then my wired network didn't work anymore. Any idea? [01:00] alex86: Can you pastebin 'ls -al /usr/bin | grep python'? [01:00] hmm ok [01:00] alex86: umm, what do you mean by "python2 is by default"? Surely you aren't trying to change the default python used, right? [01:00] i'll give that a try [01:00] neil_: you can check for it by: dpkg -l | grep sfx [01:00] jrib: He is. Python 3 should be the default now [01:00] YO LISTEN UP< I NEED HELP [01:00] xfs* [01:01] jrib: i want change PYTHONPATH [01:01] !caps | union131 [01:01] NewWorld: it says it cannot open [01:01] union131: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:01] ya [01:01] milamber: ok i just did a sudo apt-get remove xfs [01:01] NewWorld, alex86: python2 is what python should point to by default and that's how you should leave it. Changing it will likely cause issues as many system programs are written in python and expect python to point to python2 [01:01] then respond [01:01] milamber: ok lemme try [01:02] mikehj316: Run 'cfdisk' in terminal. It'll show it nicely [01:02] union131: be patient, if someone knows how to help you, they will. Sometimes there's nobody around who can help.

You can tell by the size for example. It's not the 'ext' ones, those are linux ones [01:03] neil_: glad you got it worked out. [01:03] jrib: i have installed python3 and IDE for 3rd versio, but raido_ insists that i should modify pythonpath. well, i just first day with ubuntu [01:03] dammnit [01:03] NewWorld: okay let me try again [01:03] union131: Looks like a Windows game, may have to run it in WINE. [01:03] Anyone know what program I use with Krfb? [01:03] milamber: thanks alot!!! [01:03] How can I activate Administrative privileges? [01:04] alex86: I don't see why you would want to modify PYTHONPATH [01:04] KramB: what exactly do you want to accomplish? [01:04] alex86: pastebin the output bro, I think it might be to do with BASH aliases [01:04] NewWorld: here it is http://pastebin.com/prR58LP0 [01:04] alex86: just use python3 in the shebang line if you want your script to be interpreted by python3, that's all [01:05] union131: it says you need Windows to play AVA [01:05] i love that game, it amazing i need it on here [01:05] NewWorld: would it be the /host? [01:05] DAMMNIT [01:05] jrib: I need it to install my Docky Themes...I try to create a new directory and it says Access Denied. [01:05] jrib: shebang, sorry what`s that? [01:05] union131: Yeah, looks like WINE doesn't like it. [01:05] alex86: #!/usr/bin/env python3 that you put on the first line of your scripts [01:06] union131: Time to spin up Vbox or Vmware workstation. :-) [01:06] KramB: can't you install them in your HOME? [01:06] KramB: google suggests to me: ~/.local/share/docky/themes [01:06] jrib: oh, yes, i got it [01:06] jrib: Not sure what that means...:/ Only been on Linux for about..a month. [01:06] jrib: Okay I will try. [01:06] alex86: 'rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s python3 python' ... but yeah doesn't sonud like too good idea. Just put python3 at top of scripts [01:06] KramB: ~ means your /home/username [01:07] alex86: do not do what NewWorld suggests [01:07] im going to get windows instead of linux, linux sucks [01:07] alex86: 'rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python' [01:07] union131: part of the Ubuntu experience for now, lot of the games we like don't work yet on linux [01:07] NewWorld: please stop recommending that. That's not a good idea [01:07] jrib: why? [01:07] jrib: He wanted it. And it's completely reversible [01:07] union131: it's not a fault of linux, it's a fault of the game makers who don't make them to run on linux [01:07] jrib: Thank you. :) [01:08] alex86: Some python programs aren't yet compatible with python3 [01:08] NewWorld: what this command will do rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python?? [01:08] alex86: because there are system scripts written in python and they expect python to point to python2. That command is going to break these scripts. [01:08] alex86: ln makes shortcuts [01:08] I'm still surprised Valve doesn't have Steam on Linux [01:08] How do I get a "eurpoean keyboard". [01:08] jrib: System scripts are written in ... Python?!? [01:09] naomi__: Which keyboard layout? [01:09] NewWorld: sure, some are [01:09] especially in ubuntu land [01:09] anyone know how to underclock an nvidia card in ubuntu?

[01:10] mikehj316: Sorry dude, I forgot. Why don't you pastebin 'fdisk -l' and we'll find out. But really, the best way is to go into Windows, note down the sizes of each partition, and identify it that way === derp is now known as Snooki [01:10] naomi__: Do you have an 'Alt gr' key?

I would like to have my Ambiance theme, but I would like to run Open Office with the Human theme. [01:15] alex86: It's actually not a good idea though. You should run scripts with python3 , or put #!/usr/bin/python3 at top of scripts [01:15] NewWorld: removing /usr/bin/python will make python stop working. besides there is python2.6 [01:15] weez, thanks, I know that, but what do I enter there? [01:16] alex86: what is it exactly that you want to accomplish? [01:16] alex86: You're replacing one shortcut with another one.

First time, it fails mid-install because of "I/O error" (probably failed to read something, most likely would have worked if it had retried, but it didn't even give me the option to clean the CD and retry!). [03:12] Second time, it copies everything, then it fails when configuring something, and the error message isn't helpful (besides no giving me any real information, it sends me straight to the LiveCD install in hope that I can "research about it"). [03:13] And now I think that it also screwed up the ext4 partition it made, because now the installer is completely unable to recognise the partitions on the hard disk and the only options it gives me are to wipe it!

I'm completely new to ubuntu and just installed 10.10. After I install the nvidia additional drivers that ubuntu prompts me to install and restart, my computer never makes it past the purple splash screen. I've removed the additional drivers but now my resolution isn't correct and the right side of my screen is clipped off. Can anyone help please? Thank you. [03:23] zee313: gcc [03:24] rehan: which nvidia graphics card do you have? [03:24] d' ' : thanks [03:24] Why can't I hear my PC internal speaker? the command beep is not working [03:24] d``, nvida 330gt [03:24] BlueBomber7, damn it, jealous of your full support [03:25] rehan: is that one that you can turn on and off? [03:25] Does anyone knows if this command needs to be tweaked before use? [03:25] i just installed 10.10 on my laptop. for some reason the contents my /home/user/ are displayed on the desktop. does anyone know how i can get rid of the icons? [03:25] rehan: try uninstalling everything nvidia and then reinstalling: sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [03:25] d``, nope i dont have any switchable graphics option [03:25] Take it up with Brother. And I genuinely mean that. Send 'em an email. [03:25] rehan: that blows away my theory, sorry [03:26] what means by gcc i couldn't understand [03:26] they probably tell me to go buy a new printer [03:26] neil_, thanks neil, i just did that. how do i re-install? should i do it via the GUI in additional drivers? [03:26] zee313: gcc is the name of a well-known C compiler [03:27] zee313: open a terminal window and type in aptitude info gcc [03:27] or man gcc [03:27] is there a way to change app priority like mozilla for example [03:27] that start with that priority aleays [03:27] BabyGirl: what do you mean priority? [03:27] Nisstyre: are you still around? [03:27] yeah [03:28] rehan: erm... [03:28] anyone know any games that are inherently ~20s of game followed by ~1 minute of waiting and don't require much thinking? (like a newb playing counter-strike) [03:28] rehan: do u have the binary driver or deb? [03:28] neil_, no, i just have ubuntu prompting me to install proprietary additional drivers from nvidia [03:29] well d i cant make ur name so sottu for that,,,i mean change priority,,try left click on anything on system monitor prosseses and see a prioriry option [03:29] rehan: if u have binary you may also have to blacklist nouveuo and some other stuff [03:29] ah well do that [03:29] rehan: follow the prompt [03:29] u can change to very high to a minimun priority [03:29] neil_, ok, let me try it again. This is what got me into the mess the first time, but maybe it will be diff this time :) [03:30] heh [03:30] mozilla works exelent with high priority for me [03:30] Nisstyre: tried the latest alsa that was a bust, went back to kernel .25, that didnt work, now i've noticed that it defaults to the hdmi input in sound preferences when i boot, hence I've disabled the HDMI output hardware. It still defaults to the hDMI output even though its off. Can i set my default audio output hardware somwhere? [03:30] neil_, ok just installed, gonna restart [03:31] rehan: if not then install the binary driver by going to your tty (ctrl+f1) then sudo pkill -9 gdm xorg X and run the binary as root [03:31] hi [03:31] any life? [03:31] rahduke, you should be able to set it in kernel mode [03:32] rahduke, not sure how you do that under Ubuntu though [03:32] try rmmod [03:33] [try #2] So: trying to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD. First time, it fails mid-install because of "I/O error" (probably failed to read something, most likely would have worked if it had retried, but it didn't even give me the option to clean the CD and retry!). Second time, it copies everything, then it fails when configuring something, and the error message isn't helpful (besides no giving me any real information, it sends me straight to the LiveCD install [03:34] Sik: did you check the cd? there are *lots* of problems with the cd not being md5'd and verified [03:35] Be more specific, also it sucks that I don't even have spare CDs :| Also how would that explain the Ubuntu installer now not even detecting the partitions in the hard disk? [03:35] why would my head phone jack not work when my headphones are pluged in? [03:35] I'm trying to avoid wiping the hard disk (I don't care if the Windows install has to go away though). [03:36] neil_, ok got the black screen again and had to login via recovery and low graphics mode [03:36] neil_, should i remove the nvidia driver or should i do some ninja stuff in terminal like you were suggesting before? [03:37] Sik: If you press any key during the first 5 seconds of booting the liveCD you will get to a grub menu where you can run an integrity test. Please try this test to be sure the CD burned / is being read correctly. [03:37] All having problem with bacula.

[04:03] broodwich: might be a good idea to pastebin lsusb with the mouse plugged in [04:03] TBotNik1 what you need to do is to cleant install a newer and supported versión [04:03] bonjoyee: it is a touchpad integrated into a usb keyboard, the keyboard works but the touchpad isn't seen [04:04] TBotNik1: 9.10 is still (just barely) supported, so isn't covered by that page. As stated on that page, "For upgrading supported releases please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades".

[04:10] gaelfx im looking for a program much like speedfan. i have read my self to that i can be done. my bios supports it tho. but it can't slow it down enough. still running with around 2000 rpm when i can with speedfan get it to 1200 [04:10] gaelfx: lsub--command not found [04:10] Jordan_U: Did you read my post?

Post on forum @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10616413#post10616413 [04:12] what happened to Cedega, did they get bought out?

[04:12] arent there any1 who have experience in fan speed control in linux? [04:12] gaelfx, these all look like clients too.. [04:12] question about ubuntu win installer [04:12] gaelfx, thank you though.. [04:12] Jordan_U: The upgrade is removing 28 packages. How do I track these so I can restore if they are needed? [04:13] TBotNik1: You should be able to just copy and paste the list somewhere. [04:13] can you use a sdhc as the space and run it in ntfs [04:13] Jordan_U: Is there a log file that shows these? [04:13] Me again. I ran both the CD check and the RAM check (just in case), and both pass... yet Ubuntu's installer still is unable to detect the hard disk partitions :/ [04:13] All: BRB, refreshment time! [04:13] TBotNik1: /var/log/dist-upgrade/ and /var/log/dpkg.log [04:14] Jordan_U: THNX! [04:14] Sik: Can you pastebint the output of "sudo parted -l"? [04:14] TBotNik1: You're welcome.

[04:14] 都是英文 [04:15] 有没有说中文的 [04:15] !en [04:15] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [04:15] !cn | wzq [04:15] wzq: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [04:15] Does anyone know the channel for VLC, the one I found has 5 members in it an is in no way related to VLC [04:15] <_syrinx_> V01: they're all good === Guest92645 is now known as polymorph [04:15] that file server won't have a screen attached once the setup is done. [04:15] i run both windows my laptop for school dont have hardware to run in virualbox [04:16] <_syrinx_> V01: personally, I use ubuntu for that [04:16] and ubuntu [04:16] hi all...i think i was unclear....was looking for server only...i found a link referring to gproftpd, an alleged gui frontend for proftpd, which i found in the repos, but gproftpd isn't there..? [04:16] mzuverink: i think #vlan [04:16] Does anyone know how to hide the login & logout prompt of other people? [04:16] _syrinx_, how much is it different from xubuntu? [04:16] If i want to play a windows game, and wine isn't cutting it, what are my options other then vmware? [04:17] axisys, make sense, thanks you hoopy frood [04:17] V01: Ubuntu server (or debian, but that's offtopic here). It doesn't make much sense to install Ubuntu or XUbuntu which contain Desktop Environments by default when all you want is a server. [04:17] NoSpin: VirtualBox is vmware like, there is also Xen(needs newer CPUs) [04:17] ubuntu keep freezing my mouse click doesn't response. only the keyboard [04:17] Diamondcite: the vm products don't seem to work well.. i keep getting paging issues [04:17] <_syrinx_> V01: if its just a server, none really [04:17] and my mouse works it moves around the screen but can't click [04:17] Diamondcite: i remember cedga was a good option, but it looks like they are gone. is there a replacement for them? [04:18] NoSpin: Assuming you have a Virtualization Capable CPU, and enough ram of course, it should work better? [04:18] Jordan_U, as i said its gnna be a home server and would be accessed later via a web interface probably from other system if needed. [04:18] how i restart ubuntu and not the wwhole comptuer [04:18] <_syrinx_> V01: kubuntu is just kde [04:18] NoSpin: Wine(Original), Cedega(branch), Codeweavers Crossover(Branch) are all the same.. [04:18] polymorph, not sure if this is the question you're asking, but administration > login settings > uncheck "show list of users" [04:18] g15: What is your end goal?

[04:19] g15: sudo service gdm stop [04:19] !sysrq | g15 [04:19] Diamondcite: so if wine doesn't work, you don't think cedga would? [04:19] g15: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:19] NoSpin, vm used to work fine for me, but since then, have gone to VirtualBox [04:19] NoSpin: Not too likely, unless it has something to do with Licensing, Cedega used to be quite nice, currently I don't know. AppDB generally has people commenting if it happens to work on other versions. [04:20] i need help with my nvidea drivers, i can install anything past 9.10 without getting a messy screen [04:20] axisys, same unnaturally small crowd no the right channel, google will know, it knows everything. [04:20] where do i go to allow unkown sources in ubunut? [04:20] _syrinx_, some windows system on the network would be accessing the server very often, does having ubuntu or xubuntu matter in tht case?

[04:20] mjs, I only want to hide the info that printed into the chat pool [04:20] i guess i need to get vmware configured correctly. I just tried rebooting to my windows partition only to find out vmware trashed it [04:21] _syrinx_, i have 2 other windows systems + 1 iOS device + 2 android devices which would be connected to the network [04:21] polymorph, oh, sorry... [04:21] cool_coaster: have you updated your repositories?

[04:23] col_coaster: maybe look at your repository list? (its under /etc) [04:23] do everbody here speak only english? [04:23] broodwich, what do i edit? [04:23] Jordan_U, you really recommend a Ubuntu Server for a home server? never tried that it though. Easy to setup? [04:23] RussellAlan: uncomment the #'s next to the URLs [04:24] V01: My home server is Ubuntu, its pretty simple [04:24] rogerio, yes, what language you looking for? [04:24] rogerio: yes, this is an English-only channel. there are others available, what language would you like? [04:24] may be in portuguese.. [04:24] RussellAlan: aside from that you can also access repositories via System in the GUI [04:24] <_syrinx_> !po [04:24] <_sagi> hello.

[04:25] Theoretician, wait I am confused, is Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server? [04:25] cool_coaster: if your repository list is gone, that i bad [04:25] Theoretician: http://paste.ubuntu.com/587192/ [04:25] RussellAlan: and always after modifying the sources sudo apt-get update [04:25] V01: Ubuntu server [04:25] <_syrinx_> V01: server doesn't have X [04:25] V01: If you're familiar with the terminal and the services you want to use (i.e. Apache), it is. [04:26] cool_coaster: looks fine, try installing the missing dependencies manually [04:27] Ubuntu Server might as well be called Ununtu We Deleted Some Stuff From Desktop [04:27] Theoretician: i have, it kept saying that it couldn't find them [04:27] <_syrinx_> exactly [04:27] Theoretician, _syrinx_ Jordan_U brilliant. Thanks for now! :) Would come back soon asking a few things :D [04:27] broodwich, it wants cdrom in drive [04:28] V01: You're welcom. [04:28] i only have pendrive [04:28] RussellAlan: are you using a Live CD? [04:28] no, but i installed form Pendrive [04:28] cool_coaster: I'm not entirely sure, sorry [04:29] RussellAlan: i did not know that was possible [04:29] What is the best way to register my nickname?

In the live session? [04:31] hai am need install display grfic card on my lenovo g460 [04:31] when i put in the cd and boot from it, it starts to load, then it stops when i get black and white vertical bars on my screen :-( [04:31] iso butyl propanoic phenolic acid?

[04:32] ceo: there isn't one, your graphics chip cannot handle the effects [04:32] linux_is_my_hero: usually if you retry it enough, it should work. another option might be to try a liveusb instead of a livecd [04:32] jisare: not sure if it's cross platform,but smplayer is nice [04:32] linux_is_my_hero: Can you try booting with nouveau.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter? [04:32] ceo: you could add it to the list of accepted graphics chips but it is horrible, really not worth it [04:33] gaelfx: how would i go about doing that? [04:33] linux_is_my_hero: Have you tried a differet cd? the image/cd could be corrupt [04:33] soreau: you lost me. :-( [04:33] Theoretician: also an excellent idea :-) [04:33] linux_is_my_hero: When you first boot the live session, you can press esc and go into the menu, press 'e' to edit and type nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the kernel line.. [04:33] Gah, took me a while to join, apparently FreeNode doesn't have their webclient address listed on their page (ugh). Whatever, Jordan_U, what command did you tell me to type? sudo parted something [04:33] alt + prt scr = nothing happen? [04:34] mickster04, please give me step by step for do you ide,? [04:34] linux_is_my_hero: Or as part of boot options [04:34] scottj: smplayer has a tiny problem. When I use jump forward, the picture motion will be choppy for a few seconds. [04:34] any body can help me for the good ide [04:34] guys does anyone know anything about Huffman coding if yes PM me please [04:34] jisare: bummer, I can't help I don't use a frontend [04:34] isomer, anisotropy. iso freaking thirsty [04:34] linux_is_my_hero: (I would download completely new .iso file) [04:35] scottj: totem is fine [04:35] scottj: if nogui, can you do a jump forward? [04:35] Theoretician: sounds good :-) [04:35] jisare: I think there are several keys for that, I use right arrow I think [04:35] soreau: when you say "first boot the live session," do you mean when it first reads the cd, when it says "boot from cd..."? [04:35] whats the command to delete a file in terminal? [04:36] scottj: configurable for mplayer-nogui? [04:36] Znerky: rm [04:36] ty [04:36] Theoretician: all the dependencies are installed [04:36] np [04:36] afaict [04:36] linux_is_my_hero: There is a little man at the bottom, looks like he's running. That's when you hit Esc [04:36] Znerky: sudo rm [04:36] all, am have install wine, and am not fine app, on main menu? can you give me some idea, for make me up on main menu. [04:36] Znerky: sudo rm [04:36] anyone here try compiling a kernel in ubuntu before?

[04:37] nope [04:37] scottj: that's cool, thanks [04:37] icedtea: i have not [04:37] gw [04:38] apaloe [04:38] idont now [04:38] what bittorrent client are you using guys?

[04:38] cool_coaster: still no idea, sorry [04:38] Theoretician: i entered all the dependencies manualy in to a sudo apt-get -f install and it says that they are all installed [04:38] anyone know any games that are inherently ~20s of game followed by ~1 minute of waiting and don't require much thinking? I find I can interleave counter-strike with reading quite well but looking for other games to do it with. [04:38] aron__: i don't use Linux much but if it is available i am going to use utorrent [04:39] sd'[ [04:39] okay i just followed a guide. on making a file executable.. but after i ran chmod -x filename it aint executable anymore.. [04:39] asd [04:39] asda [04:39] sa [04:39] da [04:39] d [04:39] a [04:39] student-9: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:39] cool_coaster: oh, try the initial process again? [04:40] Theoretician: same error [04:40] broodwich: can't find utorrent for linux though. [04:40] but it worked on my other ubuntu a few months back [04:40] Znerky: what are you trying to execute? lots of times you can ./filename to run a file [04:41] soreau: i want to do a clean install of 10.10 without getting vertical lines when i try to install. [04:41] what do i need to do/type? [04:41] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_detect_CPU_temperature.2C_fan_speeds_and_voltages_.28lm-sensors.29 [04:41] this [04:41] cool_coaster: have you upgraded? (sudo apt-get upgrade === panda is now known as Guest6135 [04:42] soreau: what do i need to do/type? [04:42] Theoretician: only java and flash [04:42] need upgrading [04:42] linux_is_my_hero: I suspect that the nouveau module is being loaded and it's causing the problem. So you need to tell linux not to load it, or load it without modesetting (which may work) [04:43] linux_is_my_hero: But I don't have a live session in front of me so I can't tell you exactly how, sorry [04:43] hello, I typed "sudo chsh" command and accidentally input 'bash' in. Then I fall into problems. [04:43] I typed 'sudo chsh' again to reset it but get "chsh: PAM authentication failed" error. [04:43] Hey, does anybody here think that this could be the cause of Ubuntu's installer not recognising my hard disk partitions? http://pzt.me/8soi o_O [04:43] And when I try to 'sudo su', I get "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory" error. [04:43] cool_coaster: yeah, try the upgrade, when was the last time you upgraded your system? [04:43] aron__: second choice would probably be transmission--only becuse i see this a lot, but i'd stay away from Vuze--it's a resource whore. check this out http://alinuxblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/top-10-torrent-clients-for-linux/ [04:43] How can I solve that? I googled but get nothing useful [04:43] soreau: i pressed escape then it went to the command line then i pressed escape again and went to the livecd menu [04:44] Theoretician: well i installed ubuntu 4 days ago and updated then [04:44] lixinfish: use sudo -i [04:44] linux_is_my_hero: Yes, then highlight the entry try ubuntu without making changes, and press 'e' [04:44] lixinfish: just exit those terminals and start again, but why dis you use sudo in the first place? [04:45] cool_coaster: ubuntu 4? The current stable version is 10.04 [04:45] Theoretician ubuntu 10.10 4 days ago [04:45] lixinfish, type whereis sudo and post the results [04:45] how do i aquire permissions to run files from /etc [04:45] cool_coaster: that makes more sense [04:45] i get permission denied [04:45] heh [04:46] using su [04:46] Znerky, chmod +x nameofhefile [04:46] soreau: nothing happens [04:46] cool_coaster: so did you run sudo apt-get upgrade ? [04:46] linux_is_my_hero: Hmm.. does it have an option to get to the boot options or anything like that? [04:46] but if i press f6 i can turn things on an off, including nomodeset [04:46] Theoretician: its doing it now [04:46] now it worked. [04:47] soreau: but if i press f6 i can turn things on and off, including nomodeset [04:47] .. i think i just turned my cpu fan off [04:47] linux_is_my_hero: Yes, try nomodeset and see what happens [04:47] Znerky: try chmod 7777 [04:47] cool_coaster: I would try again after that, if it still doesn't work, er, I'm not sure. (when did you burn you ubuntu cd?) [04:47] apn: whereis sudo => sudo: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/sudo /usr/lib64/sudo /usr/share/man/man8/sudo.8.gz [04:47] Znerky: try chmod -rwxrwxrwx [04:47] soreau: try installing ubuntu 10.10 without nomodeset? [04:47] raido_: I have reboot the machine, problem still exist [04:48] Theoretician: umm about 3 months ago [04:48] soreau: im gunna do it, but just so i know, what is "nomodeset"? [04:48] IdleOne: sudo -i worked, but I still wondering why chsh not working? [04:48] i needed it to fix grub on me other pc [04:48] cool_coaster: yeah, if it is that old, I would assume that it is because of the lack of upgrades [04:48] lixinfish, type " /usr/bin/sudo su" === |||||||||||||||| is now known as derp [04:48] cool_coaster: I may be wrong however [04:49] man i hate freenode webchat a little, it does not filter out all the system gobbledygook [04:49] well 5~ months ago i ran the same line on an unupdated brand new install and it worked [04:50] and it still works on that one [04:50] cool_coaster: yeah, but with all the upgrades that come out, I wouldn't be surprised if your system is just out of date [04:51] Jordan_U: Well under 5 mins on the upgrade to 9.10 [04:51] whats the max celcius a cpu can withstand? [04:51] Znerky: depends on the cpu [04:51] intel core 2 duo 2.13 ghz? [04:52] Znerky: intel has documentation on the website about that [04:52] All: BRB, checking another machine! [04:52] apn: the same error, "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory". but sudo -i worked. [04:52] linux_is_my_hero: There are two ways to do mode setting for your monitor with the graphics hardware. You have user mode setting which means the code that makes it happen is in user space, and you have kernel mode setting (kms) where the code happens in the kernel to set your monitors resolutions, refresh etc. [04:52] cool_coaster: well, its late where I am, I have to sleep sometime. Good luck with the install. [04:52] k [04:52] apn: I thought this is still the chsh's problem, how can I reset that? [04:52] night Theoretician [04:53] is there any command or program in linux which can give me the name on the cpu? [04:53] linux_is_my_hero: Since the driver is directly responsible for setting the mode for the output device (your monitor), it would make since to try a different code path or just not load nouveau module all together [04:53] Znerky: look at "dmesg" output [04:53] well i tried loading with "nomodeset" selected (or deselected, not sure which) and it works just fine [04:54] lixinfish, try "/usr/bin/sudo -i /usr/bin/chsh" [04:54] wat [04:54] then if i install the right nvidea drivers after install it should be fine, right? [04:54] linux_is_my_hero: The only way you can do this from a live session is to use kernel parameters (aka boot options) [04:54] im still new to linux [04:54] Znerky: sometimes machines have a BIOS setting to auto-shutdown at a certain temp [04:54] linux_is_my_hero: In theory, yes because nvidia module would be loaded instead of nouveau [04:54] lixinfish, if i am understanding correctly, you are changing shell for root. is that right? [04:54] Desktop effects could not be enabled on lenovo G460 why? [04:54] Znerky: go to terminal and type dmesg [04:55] soreau: what is an indirect register access? [04:55] Znerky: then put it in pastebin and share the link [04:55] linux_is_my_hero: What's that got to do with ubuntu? (and how should I know? :) ) [04:55] Znerky: actually, you could do "less /proc/cpuinfo" [04:55] the terminal couldn't show all of it [04:55] soreau: if gave me an error, but its loading 10.10 installer [04:56] nomodeset is slower, but it works [04:56] icedtea: thanks for calling that out I almost forgot that :) [04:56] np [04:56] soreau: don't i have to do something with drivers after my first boot to prevent the vertical lines again? [04:56] thx icedtea about that last part think i can identify it now [04:56] linux_is_my_hero: Well a graphics card has registers and with kms, the kernel is talking directly to the card but with ums, the driver in user space has to talk to the kernel, indirectly setting the registers to program the hardware [04:57] almost forgot why i came here [04:57] linux_is_my_hero: No, every time you reboot, it resets everything that happened in the live session [04:57] broodwich: to say that you hate freenode [04:57] Does anyone know what to do about a missing xorg.conf file and a failed Xorg -configure command? [04:57] AnggaDj98: i hate 'webchat' [04:58] i want to make logical volumes across disks. should i partition the disks to only have logical partitions or does it not matter if they are primary/logical partitions? [04:58] broodwich: ok [04:58] broodwich: You don't need xorg.conf unless you're trying to use a proprietary driver [04:59] soreau: so does that mean nomodeset was selected just for the livecd session so it can go and install (which includes downloading drivers)? [04:59] soreau: then how can i get it to see my mouse at /dev/input/mouse1? [04:59] linux_is_my_hero: yes and no [05:00] broodwich: Just create xorg.conf with only an InputDevice section, or whatever it's called [05:00] broodwich: It should still respect the options for just an individual section [05:00] hey i wanted to as, does anyone know how to check how much time is taken for an application to start? [05:01] linux_is_my_hero: If you can manage to get past the lines and install it, you should be able to fix it easier since whatever you do from the hard disk installation will remain persistent (so you don't have to keep starting over) [05:01] soreau: so if i build it it will utilize? seems kind of ify to me that xorg would fail to create one for me but then use one if i merely supply a text file. but if you say so [05:01] remind me again, how do i change the name of the computer (which others see on local networks)? [05:01] soreau: remind me again, how do i change the name of the computer (which others see on local networks)? [05:02] what program opens png by default in ubuntu gnome? [05:02] linux_is_my_hero: hostname? [05:02] hanasaki, eog [05:02] hostname what [05:02] linux_is_my_hero: /etc/hosts? [05:02] at the tty? [05:02] broodwich: Just make sure it's Section BlahBlah with a matching EndSection, and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log if it used the entry or discarded it [05:02] think i got it right. [05:02] I have "feh" installed but its not an option in nautilus for "photo view" that says "no programs:" [05:02] linux_is_my_hero: In ubuntu? [05:02] does anyone know the command for accessing locked files on extended drives? [05:02] im the only one having problems with the dns in 10.10? [05:02] soreau: excellent [05:03] soreau: yes, in 10.10 [05:03] linux_is_my_hero: hostname [05:03] hanasaki, go to properties -> open with -> pick from the list [05:03] Desktop effects could not be enabled on lenovo G460 why? [05:03] AnngaDj98: at the TTY? [05:03] linux_is_my_hero: I have no idea :) [05:03] linux_is_my_hero: also edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [05:03] Znerky: probably not [05:03] oh yes [05:03] ohkay, i cant figure this out. i am having problems with Ubuntu stalling when i go for a shutdown/poweroff. [05:03] anyone who know how to set the same dns server after a reboot? so it dosent change [05:03] linux_is_my_hero: after a reboot the tty hostname will change [05:03] ceo, make sure you have hardware rendering on. [05:03] but heres the kicker [05:04] apn, how i do it [05:04] i doont have this problem in ubuntu studio 10.10 or kubuntu 10.10 [05:04] apn: I did.. lol it still comes up in xine!

[05:06] Znerky, configure your network connection with manual dns address.

[05:12] AnggaDj98, well at the least it's annoying when i install an update like a driver that needs restarting it will install after a hard reboot. lol it will tell me to reboot so i reboot and it stalls after litterally 4 secs then i hold power and when i turn back on it's installed [05:12] soreau, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [05:12] for example i wanted to see the load time for fx, chrome, etc [05:13] yawm: That's a subjective question. When you start an application, it starts immediately.

I useradd a new account and it logged in to /bin/sh. so I used 'chsh' to try to change it to /bin/bash. and wrongly input "bash", then error happens.. [05:20] oke i will try, if have some probelm what i can do for login on my ubutu [05:20] if my system is connected in a LAN network is there any way to find the ip's of all connected system via termainl using some command?

[05:32] soreau, you tutorial that mush i make some documentation for step [05:32] ceo: Look in ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode [05:33] ceo: It's not a tutorial, it's just that the nvidia driver got installed somehow by mistake.

[05:45] i can't seem to understand "nice" [05:45] AnggaDj98:ok i give it to the 100 but still my voice is not recorded in audacity [05:45] is there any software that allows you to select a portion of the screen and capture it? [05:45] clu3:video or snaps [05:45] well [05:46] Znerky1: there could be a command. i'll check [05:46] clu3:for video Desktop recorder [05:46] jiltdil: well, try using another software, like ardour maybe? coz i got that same problem with my audacity [05:46] AnggaDj98:ok [05:47] jiltdil, just image capture [05:47] Hey, I'm trying to use connection sharing from network manager, but when I plug the cable in, the host machine keeps flipping from connected to disconnected every half second or so.

I can't boot into my box and I'm trying to access my root partition but it's encrypted. [05:49] maurer_: I've never had success with connection sharing with networkmanager. I usually just end up setting it up all manually after making sure networkmanager does not interfere [05:49] anggadj98: so i just add that into the shotcut? [05:49] Has anyone delt with installing drivers for Prism 2.5 wavelan wireless card? I have tried everything and can't get it to work. [05:49] Znerky1: make that the shortcut [05:49] ruan: is there another that you know of? [05:50] soreau: :/ I had it work about 6 months ago, so it does work sometimes. I guess I'll just set it up manually. Do you know a way to get networkmangler to release an individual interface, i.e. to allow it to manage my wireless interface, but not my wired? [05:50] Znerky1: so make a shortcut with the command: gksu nice -n -10 [05:50] maurer_: nope [05:50] the command in properties is /home/user/HON/hon.sh shall i just replace that?

[05:51] jericom, do you want to monitor how much bandwidh you used? that mesn what size of software you downloaded etc?

[05:52] py9371: open it with archive manager [05:52] py9371: You mean you want to mount an iso image?

Instead, the power controls are in the System menu [05:58] introsp3ctive: Kalimba from Windows 7 :D [05:59] introsp3ctive: i listen to dubstep, but that's offtopic [05:59] AnggaDj98: perhaps I phrased that poorly, I meant that I don't want it to open another application, I want it to open gmail compose in the browser [05:59] introsp3ctive: That's off-topic. Please relocate this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:59] All: BRB system restarting after upgrade! [05:59] no, the desktop-webmail controls the way your default browser handles mailto: protocol [05:59] gaelfx: no, the desktop-webmail controls the way your default browser handles mailto: protocol [05:59] i have ubuntu installed on a pc, some other users also have it installed...we have our separate partitions....how can i stop others from accessing the drive in which i have installed ubuntu? I have searched for it on the internet [06:00] vishal_iitk: use permissions [06:00] vishal_iitk: encrypt your partition [06:00] AnggaDj98: is there any way to make it open compose in gmail?

[06:01] jericom, ok [06:01] AnggaDj98: yeah [06:01] remove, yes [06:01] still waking up [06:02] AnggaDj98: Any idea how to obtain it? I had to reinstall gnome-panel earlier today because KDE wiped it. [06:02] gaelfx: I think no, sorry [06:02] elijah: this can be done from synaptic too, just search [06:02] join #philosophy [06:02] Starminn: so, it depends on what DE you want now [06:03] AnggaDj98: that's ok, not your fault. thanks for thinking! [06:03] gaelfx: haha your welcome [06:03] 'llo all. Still trying to troubleshoot my sound... primary sound card's a NVidia ALC1200, secondary sound card is an ES1371. I'm trying to use the primary card with Skype, but though the speakers work fine, the microphone sounds like it's been mixed with another frequency, making me sound like Igor Brovinskya (3 octaves lower than normal). [06:03] gaelfx: and sorry I can't answer that [06:03] I'm _not_ using pulseaudio, or i'm trying damn hard not to (shot it on sight) [06:03] Starminn: now, do you want a KDE or a GNOME [06:03] all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password [06:03] AnggaDj98: I'm faithful to Gnome. I was just trying out KDE and it's made a mess of my computer. Fonts are all screwed up, it's got processess running half of my CPU in the background, it uninstalled gnome-panel, and now I don't have that applet. [06:03] Viking667: that's pretty funny [06:03] all ame need make my ubuntu 10.01 like this link :http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/unity-364-brings-resizable-launcher-alt.html [06:03] AnggaDj98: So, one at a time, I'm fixing Gnome. [06:04] all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password [06:04] gday [06:04] all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password [06:04] Starminn: you have to choose one coz this 2 desktop environments don't work together well [06:04] ! repeat | ceo [06:04] ceo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:04] So, what do I need to do to make me sound more ... normal? I've fiddled with things using console mixer program (alsamixer), but I suspect I'm missing something primary. [06:04] AnggaDj98: Oh. Is there a particular reason for that? They really can't just work in harmony together? [06:05] Starminn: yes they don't [06:05] hey [06:05] All: Back upgrade successful I think? [06:05] juzzy_: gday my Australian friend :D [06:05] AnggaDj98: Well then, I'm going to have to remain faithful to my good friend GNOME. [06:06] Starminn: oh and BTW KDE needs a lot of dependencies [06:06] AnggaDj98: I know. [06:06] Starminn: and it needs a lot of memory to use them, so dont use KDE unless you want glitches in your desktop [06:07] hi all .. does anyone use firewall ? [06:07] also what is a good firewall ? i just installed firewall [06:07] AnggaDj98: I've been gradually discovering that. I *want* to like it because it's so gosh darn pretty, but every time I try it vomits all over itself, and sometimes GNOME which I don't appreciate much === zorroleroli is now known as zorrolero [06:07] joeb_: ufw [06:07] Chakra! [06:07] Starminn: but I'm still using KDE for testing my Qt4 programs, although it remains living unharmonically with GNOME [06:07] Why doesnt Ubuntu see my brand new SDHC card and my camera does? [06:07] joeb_: maybe ufw? [06:07] AnggaDj98: It uninstalled itself a few days ago. So anyway, what steps do I need to take? Just delete all KDE stuff, etc., but how do I get the MeMenu back? [06:08] ayecee: is it command line ? === LjL-Temp` is now known as LjL-Temp [06:08] ayecee: bump [06:08] bah. Looks like I'm going to have to reboot to sodding Vista to fix this... blech. [06:08] joeb_: yes it is === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest17328 [06:08] Viking667: have you tried the alsa backports? [06:08] !firewall > joeb_ [06:08] joeb_, please see my private message [06:08] Starminn: install indicator-applet-complete [06:09] Does HDMI audio output work in ubuntu with latest nvidia drivers? [06:09] haven't tried those, no. [06:09] Viking667: sorry, I was looking at old chat [06:09] heh. [06:09] All: Did anyone look at my bacula job problem? [06:09] 's weird effect, hearing myself three octaves lower than normal. [06:09] still, sounds better than donald duck, I suppose. [06:09] Starminn: it includes memenu, session and application [06:09] tass_: in my experience, they work with smplayer, but they won't work in general unless you have an spdif passthrough cable [06:09] spdif> [06:09] AnggaDj98: I need to restart X? [06:10] Viking667: Leonard Cohen>Donald Duck [06:10] gdku27 [06:10] dku27 [06:10] Starminn: maybe you dont have to [06:10] the cable works in W7 for aduio xD [06:10] tass_: well, then, you probably don't have that. You have to remember to select the nvidia audio device in pulse, and you will get sound, but there's a good chance it's low quality [06:10] AnggaDj98: It's not there. :( I'll try restarting X [06:11] Does Ubuntu support SDHC? [06:11] (Secure Digital High Capacity) [06:11] Repost to All: Having problem with bacula. On 9.04 on this box, (upgrade to 9.10 in process now) using WebMin with bacula, got the config working now, but getting job errors and totally ?????. Can anyone help?

[06:11] gaelfx: Hey you still there? I got this command line program e2fsck to check the file systems for bad blocks [06:11] All: Correction now on 9.10 after upgrade. [06:11] gaelfx: Well nothing happens when I plug my new card in :( [06:11] But my camera works fine with it [06:12] AnggaDj98: still here [06:12] joeb_: looking for the command wait a sec [06:12] I'm using the snd_hda_intel module, or so it seems [06:12] HDMI audio dosn't work? [06:12] gaelfx: e2fsck see the manual page [06:12] Danielcg25: well, it's possible that your card reader doesn't support it, but I've never had a problem with mine [06:12] good day! [06:12] hmm.. Probably the reader :( [06:12] joeb_: stop the service, of course. [06:12] I'll have to buy a new one [06:13] AnggaDj98: http://imagebin.org/145658 [06:13] AnggaDj98: wait, why am I shecking e2fsck? [06:13] gaelfx: to scan bad blocks in your USB drive [06:13] All: Error seems to be coming from the "/nonexistant/path/to/file/archive/dir", which I'm guessing is in a config file and needs changing to an actual existing directory. Am I right? [06:13] #gdku27 [06:13] Danielcg25: is there another reader you can try? [06:13] AnggaDj98: Although complete is now there, I didn't want them together. I separate mine. [06:13] AnggaDj98: I think you've got me confused with someone else ;) [06:14] gaelfx: Not on this computer :/ [06:14] is their a twitter apps for the command line [06:14] Starminn: hmm, so you want it to separate and that dialog box showed up? [06:14] (My laptop has a SD slot, not sure if it works with SDHC) [06:14] XChats: goto #ubuntu-bots and talk to BestBot to see the best twitter app in command line [06:15] Danielcg25: hang on, I'll try to look into SDHC stuff [06:15] AnggaDj98: Dialog showed up on start of Gnome the last two times (before installing complete), and yes, I don't want complete, I just want the power+MeMenu. Not everything together. [06:15] K thanks :) [06:15] Starminn: then install it one by one [06:15] AnggaDj98: thanks [06:15] like if i wanted to see all the services running wouldn't i do a sudo service --status-all |grep '+' ? [06:15] AnggaDj98: Yes, I need to know the package name is what I'm trying to get. [06:16] Starminn: indicator-applet-session [06:16] hey gus how do i install firefox back on ? [06:16] guys* [06:16] !ffr | daniel__ [06:16] Starminn: or indicator-me and indicator-session separately [06:17] !ff4 | daniel__ [06:17] anyone know how to reinstall or reconfigure a package? [06:17] daniel__: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [06:17] <_syrinx_> daniel__ sudo apt-get install firefox [06:17] icedtea: sudo apt-get reinstall [06:17] how do i delete a program via terminal [06:18] daniel__ apt-get remove [06:18] daniel__: use sudo apt-get remove [06:18] Danielcg25: yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the reader, how old is the computer? [06:18] ayecee: how do i konw the service that is running .. i did a nmap and tried to stop the service but no go [06:18] how can i close conver of empathy when i press esc??? [06:19] oh my God I'm so tired supporting people which I'm failing in :( [06:19] sudo service ipp stop ? [06:19] Danielcg25: if it's for a phone, could you plug the card into the phone and the phone into the computer and set it up for mass storage and see if that works? [06:19] It's for my camera, it's a 8GB SD(HC) Card [06:20] join #gdku27 [06:20] SD is 4GB and under [06:20] joeb_: if the port is open, the service is running. what port is that? [06:21] ippt ayecee port 631 [06:21] futka: stop that. [06:21] AnggaDj98: That did it, thanks. [06:21] gaelfx: That's a good idea, my camera has a USB let me see if it works [06:21] ipp 631/tcp # Internet Printing Protocol [06:21] Danielcg25: can you plug the camera into the computer? [06:21] i have a 8gb sd card on ubuntu right now and i just installed so it's prolly your card reader [06:21] Danielcg25: okie doke === _syrinx_ is now known as syrinx_ [06:21] Danielcg25, SD cards for cameras are typically formatted using FAT, so there should be no problem accessing the data... if the computer can recognize the card in the first place. [06:22] joeb_: netstat -anp will show you the process that has the port open === josh__ is now known as Gump_ === syrinx_ is now known as Guest96615 [06:22] ayecee: thanks its cups [06:23] dsnyders: Yes, it's formatted FAT32 [06:23] ayecee: if i do a service cups stop when i reboot will it come back .. how do i stop it from autobooting [06:23] I plugged the camera's USB cord in, its working now [06:23] Card reader probably only supports SD cards and not SDHC cards :/ [06:24] Danielcg25, do you have a plain SD card to test the reader? [06:24] Hi, anyone know how to get gmail notifier to work on my ubuntu? [06:25] dsnyders: Yes, I just copied photos off a regular SD about 10 minutes ago =P [06:25] Danielcg25, Sounds like your diagnosis about SD but not SDHC is spot on then. Sorry. === Guest96615 is now known as _syrinx_ [06:27] dsnyders: I'll have to "invest" $20 in a new card reader =P [06:27] Hi.

There may be a bios upgrade available from the manufacturer. [06:31] All: Looks like I was right. Found the /nonexistant/path/to/file/archive/dir in the bacula-dir.conf and also the WebMin interface and changed to /data/bacula and now is off working, I think.

[06:38] Xchats: switching to tty7 worked :) what does ctrl f8 do insted? [06:39] Danielcg25, laptop hardware can sometimes be... different. Sometimes upgrading the Bios can cause it to report different hardware to the OS. This isn't usually the case with desktops unless the hardware is built into the motherboard.

[06:43] ActionPar: I'm sorted with user rights, I answered to Roger's Q [06:43] yes i know my acc pass [06:43] but not root pass [06:43] Roger__: that is the pass you need to enter [06:43] !noroot [06:43] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information.

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.

What graphics card do you have?

[08:04] ranjan:ok i removed but why it is happening [08:04] at the top it says [08:04] Lew_, probably an issue witha kernel update would be my guess [08:04] can someone here help me with a dual-screen XRandR issue? [08:04] rehan, do you have fbset installed? "sudo apt-get install fbset" [08:04] ranjan: and how it atomaticaaly added [08:04] GNU GRUB version 1.98 [08:04] Peddy, sure, I'm on board as long as you are :) [08:04] Peddy, ok, just installed fbset [08:05] Lew_, so you have grub2. follow the recovery instructions for that. should (hopefully) correct the problem [08:05] jiltdil, sorry, not sure about the root cause. [08:05] :( [08:05] rehan, ok, good. Next, we will reinstall everything related to grub2. This actually fixed my problem for the first time. Can you open synaptic? (gksu synaptic) [08:05] ranjan:ok thanxalot [08:05] jiltdil, thank the community [08:06] hello all!

[08:08] rehan, okay - search "grub". tick "grub-pc" and "grub-common" and select "mark for complete removal", then hit apply. DO NOT REBOOT [08:08] jiltdil, PM? [08:08] if I copy a folder, the hidden folders (starting with a dot) inside it are copied as well?

You can also do that to "grub2", which isn't actually anything [08:09] Peddy, done. === scott_ is now known as Guest31106 [08:10] Lew_, ugh, well, if you can't get the machine to even boot you're going to need one...

For instance, using XChat to join Freenode doesn't work because it tries to join using an IPv6 IP that doesn't work [08:22] I don't have an /etc/networking/interface file to edit, so there's obviously no connection info in there [08:22] No IPv6 info in my ethernet settings either [08:23] I also can't get onto HE.net because it tries to connect through IPv6 ;/ [08:23] lol this is hopeless [08:23] rehan, just a second [08:23] Peddy, sure, thank you [08:24] pedddy can you have a go at my problem next [08:25] Is there any commandline option to get a list of partitions with their lables [08:25] rehan, replace the contents with this: http://pastebin.com/RFsWYWGG and then run sudo update-grub, then reboot [08:26] sling-shot: df -h [08:26] i think it will give you the info you need [08:26] Peddy, ok, about to reboot [08:26] rehan, ok, good luck ;) [08:27] peddy [08:27] tell me what you think of this okay?

I get a checkerboard screen and the boot up is slow as malasys. 8GB ram. So what is the issue with release? [08:32] but they just give you the dev names [08:32] Peddy, i rebooted and it ended up on tty1 asking for my login, if i hit ctrl-alt-F7 all it showed was "checking battery" and showing parts of the boot up process, but nothing more. Now i'm in recovery mode [08:33] Lighthouse Pup runs flawlessly [08:33] rehan, do you have a GUI? [08:34] Peddy, yeah, i loaded in low graphics settings [08:34] Peddy, everything is huge but its working [08:34] I am thinking the checkerboard desktop is due to a Graphics issue which 10.10 obviously cannot resolve. So my question is when will there be a new release for Ubuntu Desktop with hopefully the fixes to these issues [08:34] rehan, that's alright - edit /etc/default/grub and replace the two lines "1280x1024" with "1920x1080" both times [08:35] rehan, then run update-grub. If this doesn't work, we'll try a different approach [08:35] osxfr33k: are u getting funny bars ? [08:35] yes [08:35] was happening to me as well , on a dell laptop with intel graphic built in [08:35] I think the nvidia card is a 480 [08:35] hmm [08:36] post a screen if possible [08:36] www.imgur.com [08:36] I am seeing funny bard and feel like I am in a funny farm or twilight zone.

[08:38] as do you [08:38] rehan, yep - sudo reboot is enough. Sorry if you know all this already [08:38] Is there any way to customize the live CD on Windows? [08:38] how to set up a 64 bit chroot environment in ubuntu10,04 [08:39] Peddy, haha no, i don't know anything. You telling me in layman terms is a HUGE help. Will reboot, brb.

So i rebooted again and am back in recovery mode. [08:43] benzldehyde , ur mouse being detected ? [08:43] Peddy, i'm not sure if there's some command i'm supposed to enter at tty1 after logging in that will load the GUI [08:43] Peddy, so i just reboot, and login via recovery mode, then load it in basic low graphics mode [08:44] rehan, bizarre. Sorry about all this fussery. Could you verify that /etc/grub.d/ exists by typing "cd /etc/grub.d" then "ls"? [08:44] it's a wireless usb keyboard with a touchpad integrated. lsusb shoes it as something like device 001 Logitech, Inc.

[08:44] but i know for a fact that event2 and mouse1 interact with the touchpad because i can 'cat' the device and it reacts [08:44] by mouse u meant the touchpad of ur wireless logitech keyboard ? [08:45] rehan, that seems to be fine. Could you pastebin /etc/default/grub please? [08:45] Peddy, yes, one sec. thank you. [08:45] well yes, that is what i am calling it [08:45] Hey everyone. [08:45] fairuz: Thanks for another new command :) [08:46] .. [08:46] Peddy, http://pastebin.com/YUTw0sxW [08:46] My OpenGL app crashes (seg fault at the first OpenGL call) when being debugged with GDB or profiled with Valgrind. It runs perfectly when I execute it normally. Ideas? [08:46] Peddy, i'm not sure if you know but pp7 had me do some file changes also in terms of blacklisting some stuff, that may be messing up what you're doing? [08:47] I can't seem to resume my GUI workspace. After using virtual terminals, F7 gets stuck on "Checking battery state..." (I'm on a desktop) [08:47] I've read that it may be my driver... but I've no idea. [08:47] hi [08:47] rehan, as long as you didn't blacklist the standard nvidia driver, it should be good. OK, can you comment out those 2 lines, Grub_gfxmode, by putting # in front of both of them? Then update-grub and reboot another time [08:47] ranjan:? [08:48] rehan, I just want to get a normal boot working so we can proceed with the next step - using binary drivers from nvidia [08:48] Peddy, i added fbcon and vesafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [08:48] irc chat through a commandline.. THIS brings back good old memories! [08:48] rehan, that won't do any harm, afaik. Did you blacklist anything? [08:49] Peddy, ok. I should tell you i downloaded the driver for my card from nvidia earlier and installed it via tty1. but i may not have done it properly, but after that i was able to get into my GUI at the proper resolution === rug is now known as Rug [08:49] how can I know from which date a process has been running? when doing ps -aux, I just see the hour [08:50] rehan, excellent - so the "official" driver is already installed? [08:50] What app do most of you use to rip/encode dvd's? Handbrake? [08:50] Peddy, i blacklisted nouvea by typing "blacklist nouveau and 'options nouveau modeset=0' [08:50] Peddy, yep [08:50] novitololo : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6134/how-do-you-find-the-age-of-a-long-running-linux-process [08:50] rehan, that's fine. OK, did you remember to uninstall the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers first (if you installed them in the first place?) [08:50] appreciate [08:51] rehan, prior to my helping you, was the normal GUI etc working okay? just ttys that weren't [08:51] ? [08:51] Peddy, yep, exactly [08:51] veronika kisa :D [08:51] ashmew2: it is this http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/images/920-000129-REF.jpg [08:52] Peddy, i had uninstalled the nvidia drivers by doing sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [08:52] quit [08:52] rehan, great. Okay, remove those two lines from grub file (remember how to do that?) and update-grub, then reboot [08:52] Is there a channel about network and routing? [08:52] benzaldehyde: sexy , but wheres the numpad :P [08:52] My OpenGL app crashes (seg fault at the first OpenGL call) when being debugged with GDB or profiled with Valgrind. It runs perfectly when I execute it normally. Ideas? [08:53] ok peddy, did that, about to reboot. If it ends up at tty1 again, is there any command that i can type to load the GUI or should i just go into recovery again like i've been doing? thank you. [08:53] my java applet doesnt load 7/10 times - what could be the reason [08:53] rehan, you could try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" or "startx" [08:53] Peddy, ok cool. brb! [08:53] i just keep on refreshing [08:54] I can't seem to resume my GUI workspace. After using virtual terminals, F7 gets stuck on "Checking battery state..." (I'm on a desktop) [08:54] Can anyone tell me if I need to have my ubuntu 10.10 server acting at my networks router to have pptpd to work properly?

[08:56] if I've a simlink to a .sh that I start using ./script.sh start, how do I start it from the symlink ?? [08:56] Peddy, tried doing startx when i got to tty1 again. said nvidia kernel can't load [08:57] rehan, bizarre. That's actually really weird, since we haven't changed anything besides the bootloader. Can you install the nvidia-supplied driver again? [08:57] rehan, it will just overwrite [08:58] ashmew2: this is great. my exact problem, reading. [08:58] Peddy, ok, is there a way to quit X? I remember before when i was doing it i kept having a hard time installing it because it kept telling me X is still running [08:58] hi, I just compiled a new kernel I want to add the grub entry for it, I think there is a command to do this automatically? [08:59] the command looks up what is in /boot and then adds the pertinent entries [08:59] rehan, logout then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". Or, you could actually do it in recovery mode (drop to root shell) and then do "init 3" and then install it from there. [08:59] update-initramfs -c -k then update-grub [08:59] do you know the name of this command? [08:59] Peddy, ok, brb :) [08:59] ohsix: thanks this is working [08:59] nautilus wild up on me just now when i start my pc look = http://imagebin.org/145672 [09:00] cpu was sky high and for a long time of period [09:01] BabyGirl, vow what happened there?

Just type in "python" [09:03] I need a Port Analyzer that Possibly Runs in terminal, Any program out there able to Perform Something like that ? [09:03] he cant be mad at me i treat it nice [09:03] lol not really [09:03] Poisonfibre: nmap [09:03] Poisonfibre: nmap, netstat [09:04] Starminn: thx i think I found it [09:04] SarcasMo: Awesome. :) [09:04] is there any option in bleachbit that could probably cause nautilus to wild up on me :( [09:04] Peddy, ok, i'm back, loaded up fine w/o recovery now after reinstalling the drivers. But tty1 still gives me black screen. [09:05] does anyone know of a unqiue property I could try to read in my program, to verify it's running on the right machine? [09:05] rehan, ok. Erm, I have no idea where to go from here :/ does tty give blank screen even at low resolutions? My problem was that it gave a blank screen at high resolutions only [09:05] eg a HDD serial number or something [09:05] Dazzled1: hdparm is giving you that serial [09:05] how to set up a 64 bit chroot environment in ubuntu10,04 [09:05] Dazzled1: or use the hash of a ssh-key [09:06] rams_pandu: the same as a 32bit environment [09:06] is there a cron editor like the way webmins module is [09:06] pehden: crontab [09:06] iceroot: the ssh key I could retrieve programmatically (from within a C++ application), but the hdparm requires sudo as well I guess? [09:06] Peddy, yep, i just changed my resolution to 800x600 and tried, still a black screen [09:06] pehden, I know of a local version (not webserver-based)? [09:07] rehan, are you running 32 or 64 bit linux? [09:07] iceroot, can I follow the instructions given at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#References%20and%20further%20information?

[09:09] ? [09:09] rehan, hm... bizarre that the framebuffer works in recovery mode (i assume you get all the text) but not normal mode [09:09] i cant wait for 11.04 === Guest82081 is now known as LjL-Temp [09:09] rehan, do you want to try editing /etc/default/grub, now that we have the driver working? change it to 1280x1024, since your card doesn't support your monitor's native resolution (as we found out in hwinfo) [09:10] SarcasMo: Why? === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest6512 [09:10] how can you remove games in Ubuntu 10.10 [09:10] !natty > pehden [09:10] pehden, please see my private message [09:10] Peddy, ok, the GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 ? [09:10] rehan, that's right, and the payload one - do you still have that there? [09:10] SarcasMo, I think go to applications -> software centre [09:10] SarcasMo: Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, pick the game, hit "Remove" [09:10] Peddy, yep, will do that too [09:10] I've a symlink that points to a bash script.

[09:11] rehan, it's super unlikely that this will cause your driver to stop working again. I don't know what happened last time [09:11] rehan, reboot away! [09:11] Peddy, thanks! [09:11] novitololo, just as jou would a normal script [09:12] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/068 I'm using this page to figure it out, but I wasn't sure what ubuntu has by way of "timeout" equivalent?

[09:20] is there a way to restore nautilus settings to defaults ?? [09:20] Lew: with? [09:20] et_: You mean a maximized window? [09:20] when I boot unbuntu from boot list, screen goes black' [09:20] s.. [09:20] Peddy, no change :-( [09:20] is wilding on me at star up [09:20] recovery mode does the same [09:20] novitololo, i use insserv insserv only for rearanging the init links using the overrides. I have no experience with symlinkID [09:20] soreau: yes [09:20] et_: If you use compiz, then yes [09:20] this is what u see in boot manager Mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed Mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed Target file system doesnt have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init= bootarg. [09:20] any1 knows something about tv cards? [09:21] et_: Disable snapoff maximized windows in ccsm>move window [09:21] bluesmaker, i do [09:21] soreau: No but I am trying to create a kiosk with ff running [09:21] soreau: so i installed server version and installed gdm and ff on it [09:21] Lew: Do you have init in your /sbin folder? [09:21] BabyGirl, You can always delete the ~/.nautilus directory (or rename it) and try again. [09:21] rehan, have you ever tried the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers? how did they work for you? [09:21] soreau: I'm guessing I don't have compiz installed. [09:21] et_: I guess you are running metaicty then [09:21] et_: There might be a gconf option, lets see.. [09:22] linuxuz3r: wet to linuxtv followed instructions and got to a point i don't understand [09:22] Peddy, they kept cutting off the right side of my screen somewhat to the point where I couldn't see the power down icon or its menu in the status bar [09:22] bluesmaker, not on linux [09:22] soreau: Gconf is what I'm looking for. /apps/metacity/... [09:22] YankDownUnder:) ok i try,,,is that at home and Ctrl-H [09:22] sorry [09:22] soreau: I see nothing there yet.. [09:22] linuxuz3r: :) ok [09:22] To force compiz => (ALT+F2) => compiz --replace [09:22] ;) [09:23] BabyGirl, It's best to do so from a terminal [09:23] Fair, it worked this morning' [09:23] rehan, your laptop brand/model? [09:23] and all of the sudden I cant boot [09:23] YankDownUnder:) well gor you buddy [09:23] linuxuz3r: then i'm a bit like u:P [09:23] Peddy, Sony Vaio , model VPCF115FM [09:23] soreau: oops. It does not unmaximise when I drag it. The window simply moves [09:23] Sony Vaio = Fail. [09:24] rehan, do you have an external monitor you can connect handy? [09:24] soreau: it'd be great if there was an option of locking the position and keeping the window maximised.. [09:24] I've had many Sony products and they all are piles of fail, [09:24] Peddy, just my TV, via HDMI [09:24] novitololo, but never the less, if your script is +x and your symlink is an absolute path to the script. the script should be executable. even if the link exists on a noexec mounted directory [09:24] any one knows how to use insmod comand? [09:24] et_: You can do all of that with compiz move plugin [09:24] rehan, might as well give that a try. Apparently there is a problem with some Vaios' LCD not functioning [09:25] any ideas fair' [09:25] bluesmaker, You don't have to anymore - just use modprobe instead. [09:25] soreau: metacity? [09:25] rehan, could you try one thing before that? [09:25] et_: compiz [09:25] Lew: I think you screwed up your filesystem. Try to repair it with fsck [09:25] rehan, what is the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line right now? [09:25] or something similar :D [09:25] YankDownUnder:) tha las move i made was use bleachbit and when reboot it star taking CPU like crazy look = http://imagebin.org/145677 [09:25] fsck? [09:26] YankDownUnder: ok, but i don't know how to [09:26] ! fsck | Lew [09:26] Lew: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [09:26] Peddy, video=LVDS-1:d [09:26] soreau: Any idea how expensive will installing compiz be in terms of space occupied on hard disk? [09:26] BabyGirl, Um...really no reason to use Bleachbit...ya might want to get rid of it (always just trouble with that ya know - and this ain't MS Windows) [09:27] bluesmaker, In a terminal, type "sudo modprobe name-of-module-you-want-to-insert" [09:27] et_: Its more a concern of getting 3D working. What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? (after installing mesa-utils) [09:27] Lew: Or you can just use a Live CD to boot [09:27] rehan, change that to nomodeselect [09:27] YankDownUnder: i need to modify the em28xx driver to read my card as 63 instead o 0, [09:27] Lew: then mount your disk. Then copy init file from live cd to your /sbin/ [09:27] do I do that command from boot manager cmd [09:27] hey [09:27] Do you have Live CD? [09:27] Peddy, ok, will reboot [09:27] Peddy: Dont you mean nomodeset ? [09:28] Na, no CD [09:28] how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ? [09:28] ooh should i change it peddy? [09:28] bluesmaker, If that's the case, then you should look into your /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, check the .conf files for the driver and how it's loading. Heaps of info on that in the forums. [09:28] rehan, o.o yes, soreau is correct. Remember to update-grub [09:28] thanks soreau :3 [09:28] Peddy, ok updated grub, rebooting [09:28] Peddy: No problem :) [09:28] boot a working ubuntu from Live CD. Then Mount your disk (that have current filesystem). Then copy init from Live CD to /sbin/init of corrupted system [09:28] soreau: I am trying to keep it as minimal as I can :) [09:28] Lew: Download it then :D [09:29] et_: You can make compiz as heavy or as light as you want. Compiz itself doesnt pull in much [09:29] how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ? [09:29] soreau: Ok. Then, I'll try installing compiz and see if I can pull this off [09:29] trick: Make a share folder [09:29] et_: What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer ? [09:29] how big is it [09:29] fairuz: only if you take my ugly sister out on a date [09:30] YankDownUnder: ok i'll check the forum man thanks [09:30] soreau: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 915G GEM 20091221 2009Q4 x86/MMX/SSE2 [09:30] trick: Thats not really appropriate for this channel [09:30] trick: ? :D [09:30] et_: Cool then you are all set [09:30] soreau: ok sorry LOL LOL [09:30] bluesmaker, Peace mon. [09:30] soreau: What does the output mean? [09:30] Peddy, no luck :-/ [09:30] et_: Just apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [09:30] Lew: maybe 600MB? [09:30] fairuz, link to LiveCD? [09:30] et_: It means you have working 3D with intel drivers [09:31] lol [09:31] will that command fix it too? [09:31] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [09:31] fairuz: how do i create a shared folder [09:31] rehan_, damn it :/ it seems to be a common problem with vaios, as well as nvidia mobile chipsets >.> [09:31] soreau: Oh. Ok cool. I'll give it a shot.. [09:31] soreau: Thank you so much ! :0 [09:31] Lew: I think your problem is just a missing init from /sbin [09:31] Try what I suggest and see what happens [09:31] Peddy, yea, people have been able to get it fixed but i'm not sure how. How big of a problem is it if this does not work for me? Is the tty screen used much in ubuntu? [09:31] only way to fix is the CD? [09:32] Ah for my Extreme Tech Support Question: IS the Dell 1505N Wireless Mini PCI-e card supported in LHP 5.03G? I was unable to find a driver from the list [09:32] YankDownUnder: i think i know what the problem is!! the file doesn't have the .comf extention how can i rename it? [09:32] yikes [09:32] trick: take a look at your virtual box options, and see if there is such option [09:32] how can i delete stuff on Ubuntu 10.10 [09:32] ? [09:32] rehan_, it won't be absolutely necessary if you still have access to recovery console - it's more of a power-user thing. Althought it would be nice to have [09:32] Lew: maybe it's not the only way, but it's the way that I would go [09:32] bluesmaker, Can you tell me what you're looking at? [09:32] SarcasMo: delete what? [09:32] how to port scan with nmap vai terminal? [09:32] games for instance [09:32] jiltdil: nmap hostname [09:32] Peddy, if i get rid of my disable-nouveau.conf file, then tty works...is there any way to keep nouveau for tty and nvidia for the gui? [09:33] iceroot:any switches [09:33] jiltdil, man nmap [09:33] jiltdil: nmap -p portnumber hostanme for a specific port [09:33] rehan_, are you saying that noveau loads when you remove it from the blacklist? [09:33] iceroor: i want to port can of a certian up [09:33] sorry ip [09:34] iceroot: i want to port scan of a ip [09:34] Peddy, let me check, i will get rid of my disable noveau file [09:34] will reboot and brb. [09:34] YankDownUnder: im in etc/modprobe.d looking at a file named em28xx it doesn't have the .conf extension and that's the warning i get when i try to use modprobe "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/em28xx, it will be ignored in a future release." [09:35] bluesmaker, You could do: cp em28xx em28xx.conf [09:35] you know what it is [09:35] @fairuz, will I loose my files and stuff if I use LiveCD [09:35] YankDownUnder: thanks i'll try that [09:36] @lew no [09:36] Lew: Of course not! I'm not asking you to reinstall Ubuntu [09:36] Lew: Don't reinstall Ubuntu [09:36] Lew: just boot from the CD [09:36] __boot_____ [09:37] where can i find programms i installed through Ubuntu software center? [09:37] then you will have a working ubuntu from the CD [09:37] I just installed kate and i want to use it [09:37] but i cant find it [09:37] then just mount your old ubuntu and put init from CD to your old ubuntu /sbin [09:37] SarcasMo, It'll be in your menus....however, sometimes you'll have to refresh the menus by logging out and logging in again. [09:37] then throw the CD away and boot your system [09:37] hi where can i find help to use my HTC wildfire?..it runs android eclair [09:38] is there anyone here with anyyy video card overclocking experience? [09:38] YankDownUnder: ty ill try === sean is now known as Guest66477 [09:38] Dannyd, try #android [09:38] how do i register? [09:38] Peddy: [09:38] Peddy, after I change /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf , do i need to run anything like sudo update-grub for those changes to take effect? [09:39] Oh, it was a long time away from irc [09:39] Good to see people in it again [09:39] hi. got a bit of a query regarding a theme problem.latest version of ubuntu, and using the default theme, initially the clock didnt count/change at all. Changed this to ambiance theme(time then updates) but today turned on the PC, time was missing completely and the username is discared a little. I change to the clearlooks/default theme and right away back to the ambiance one and all is ok again. Any ideas please? [09:39] rehan, I'm not sure :/ I doubt it, but you could try update-initramfs -u [09:40] rehan, could you pastebin the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer please? [09:40] how do I get somethign to stop after x amount of seconds? [09:40] Peddy, sure [09:40] more specifically, does anyone use nvclock or CoolBits for overclocking nvidia cards? [09:41] Peddy, http://pastebin.com/ktDavjsu [09:41] meuuijga, I have had success with coolbits in the past [09:41] hey peddy, thanks. whenever i try to change the settings and click apply, the sliders go back to the default settings. ever happened to you? [09:41] hey, is conky supposed to cover your icons? [09:41] Peddy, thank you for sticking with me for so long. [09:42] rehan, we may be onto something - comment out (put # in front of) "blacklist vesafb" please? [09:42] it worked [09:42] whoohoo [09:42] I'm stuck at the installation, I can't type anything at the login info part [09:42] hmm, I don't think my program has sufficient permissions to read out the HDD serial [09:42] Peddy, it already has a # in front of it [09:42] rehan, not a problem - the success will be worth it. [09:42] Actually, I can't click pretty much anything besides selecing some text [09:42] rehan, that's fine. Does anything else have # in front of it/ === candyban_ is now known as candyban [09:42] ? [09:43] Peddy, no but i added blacklist vga16fb myself [09:43] rehan, okay. Could you open /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? is there anything uncommented? [09:43] are there other options I could pursue? like, giving a program root access, or would this be a capital sin? [09:44] Peddy, fbcon and vesafb are in there on separate lines, uncommented [09:47] by coincidence, does anyone know wich plugin to install for Kate if i want a python interpreter [09:47] rehan, bizarre. I'm researching some more :/ out of interest, could you add "splash" after "quiet" in your grub file, then update-grub and reboot? separate splash and quiet with a single space. [09:48] Peddy, ok [09:48] rehan, additionally, comment out both GFX lines with a # [09:48] thanks fairuz and peddy for your time [09:48] Peddy, ok [09:48] can anyone tell me how "bad" it would be to call sudo from within c++ and providing its password by echo? [09:48] Peddy, should i keep nomodeset ? [09:48] Lew, hope you get your problem sorted out sometime. [09:49] rehan, you can get rid of it now [09:49] ok [09:49] Peddy, ok rebooting, brb [09:51] hi guys. i'm trying to mirror a page on a site, it's http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx -> how to turn this into html and have the design work? [09:51] wget -r -l 1 isn't getting it right for me [09:52] NET||abuse, Um...right channel to ask that? [09:52] not sure, [09:52] it's a linux tool in general. :) [09:52] Mmmm...yeah...true this... [09:52] NET||abuse, I'll then safely assume that you've read the man pages on wget? [09:53] yes, as much as i can fit in my brain at one time. [09:53] it's quite extensive [09:53] It should be simply: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx [09:54] hi [09:54] Peddy, was that a no then? [09:54] NET||abuse, I just downloaded it...simply... [09:54] sorry i know you're busy [09:54] does CPU frequency scaling work in ubuntu? [09:54] YankDownUnder, what command? [09:54] meuuijga, excuse me? [09:55] I need help with Prism 2.5 wireless driver! === david is now known as Guest67789 [09:55] NET||abuse, Quite simply this: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx => that downloads the file... [09:55] meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings" [09:55] YankDownUnder, then try visit that local file on your webbrowser [09:56] YankDownUnder, i want to mirror the page and it's assets. [09:56] Peddy, no luck :( [09:56] NET||abuse, THAT, my friend, is something that you'll have to work out - using either a script or otherwise...like a script running as a cron job... [09:56] Peddy, all i said was when i try to hit "apply" using coolbits, the slider bars won't stay and go back to the default settings. wondered if you had any experience with that. [09:56] Hi, has anyone here already installed JBoss AS 6 as service on Ubuntu ? [09:57] hi all, ordered new 2TB drives, that use the 4K format, how do I partition them correctly for optimal performance? [09:57] meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings" then setting it - does it save? [09:57] peddy, if I put ubuntu ISO on USB, I can boot it from that right? [09:57] !scaling [09:57] I get exceptions when I run sudo service jboss stop [09:57] Lew, you can't just stick the iso there - you have to use unetbootin or another tool to "extract" it to the USB [09:57] http://pastebin.com/y0at57Mv [09:57] give me just a minute, it's on my other box. i'll try it :) [09:57] rehan, darn! how important is tty access to you? I know it's nice to have working, but it's becoming very hacky to get working [09:58] ejv: the tools that can do partitioning have all pretty much been updated for proper alignment, use gparted and you should be ok [09:58] peddy, is that simple enough? [09:58] rehan, did the Ubuntu logo appear? [09:58] Please help me with my Prism 2.5 wirels!ess driver. I need wireles [09:58] Lew, it's a very simple task. What OS does the computer you're on right now have? ubuntu? [09:58] ohsix: gparted is gui based, does parted work? [09:58] ejv: i presume so, they use the same backend [09:58] Yeah ubuntu [09:58] oh right now [09:58] Peddy, yes it did [09:59] windows XP [09:59] Peddy, i don't know anything about ubuntu so its not even really important to me. I was just hoping if i could find a fix i wouldn't be stuck later on if it was needed for something [10:00] I need all windows on Ubuntu to start in maximized mode. Can this be done using gconf? === Guest48150 is now known as darkdevil [10:00] how can i delete programs with the terminal? [10:00] SarcasMo: sudo apt-get remove [10:00] rehan, to tell the truth, it's rarely used - recovery mode provides everything you need. I use TTYs mainly for restarting or killing programs when they become unresponsive. With the coming 11.04 update, your problem may well be fixed in a new version of X. [10:00] Lew: Follow the directions at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download . === darkdevil is now known as Guest42544 === Guest42544 is now known as Guest48150 [10:01] SarcasMo: you can also purge other packages and configs with apt-get purge [10:01] et_: it can be done with maximus, or devilspie [10:01] rcconf: can i do that from root? [10:01] SarcasMo: if you are root you dont need "sudo" [10:01] Peddy, i see. Hmm well you know, maybe I will do a fresh install since i haven't installed anything yet, download the nvidia drivers again and give it another shot. [10:01] ohsix: But my objective is to create a very minimal system with only FF running in maximized mode. A kiosk in essence. [10:01] SarcasMo: it's dangerous to run as sudo [10:02] rcconf: oops [10:02] oh thanks jordan, should have seen that [10:02] oops [10:02] Lew, System>administration>startup disk creator [10:02] et_: then don't run a window manager and pass -geometry to firefox [10:02] SarcasMo: not sudo root [10:02] :P [10:02] Lew: You're welcome. [10:02] !highlight [10:02] Peddy, thank you for all of your help. I do have one last question if you don't mind. [10:02] rcconf: it cannot find Kate (the program i want to delete) [10:02] ohsix: Any pointers to a tutorial on that geometry param? [10:02] Wait, which way? Peddys or yours? [10:02] rehan, fresh install would be a great idea. I'm doing so myself. I would recommend the ubuntu-supported drivers, once they're available [10:02] anyone know why ubuntu is erasing my media files? .... it downloads to the directory fine, then a few days later I go to see the files, and they are gone.... [10:02] rehan: E: Unable to locate package Kate [10:02] SarcasMo: apt-cache search kate [10:03] et_: Yea, if you have no wm, and manage to get the window positioned correctly (and you do not need any other windows at all) then you might be able to get away with that [10:03] rehan, shoot! haha, any question will be easy compared to getting ttys to work (; [10:03] et_: Did you try compiz? [10:03] rcconf, (not that I recommend running anything as root to a novice, but ....) what is wrong with sudo -i (or sudo root) [10:03] ohsix: Can that be done to any window? For e.g. Citrix ICA Client? [10:03] SarcasMo: it's kate not "Kate" [10:03] rgr [10:03] et_: if it's an X program, yes ;] [10:03] ohsix: Thanks [10:03] Peddy, how can I change where my home directories link to? I like the icons and pictures on the home folders (docs,pics,videos,music,etc) but just want them to open up a different directory when i click on them [10:03] candyban: nothing if he knows what hes doing [10:03] Lew, those directions point to my method [10:04] soreau: not yet. No.. [10:04] rcconf: it says : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [10:04] SarcasMo: close synaptic manager or software center [10:04] * benzaldehyde passionately embraces ashmew2. you magnificent nerd pile :) it worked! hurray! [10:04] rcconf, running as root or putting sudo in front of your command are identically dangerous ... [10:04] candyban: yes [10:04] candyban: you are right [10:04] rehan, could you give me an example? Like, you want "pictures" to link to a folder titled "Images" instead? [10:04] Peddy, could i have those directories link to my "My Docs" or "My Pics" folders on my win7 ntfs partition if i use ntfs-3G [10:04] alright many thanks [10:05] btw. What is ubuntu the default password for root? (like the password it asks when it finds inconsistencies in the root partition) [10:05] soreau: I tried doing that in another system. Gconf -> /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/snapoff_maximized --> helps !! :) [10:05] Peddy, i was thinking i'd have my ntfs partition auto-mount on startup, and then have those directories link to their windows counterpart folders [10:05] rcconf: how do you close synaptic manager? or software center. there both not in my desktop [10:05] Peddy, hm that's interesting. it's saying my password for root is wrong, but really one was never set up [10:05] candyban: the default is random [10:05] candyban, Ain't one. You have to make one, if you REALLY need to... [10:05] if i use photorec to recover data from 'whole disk', that means i already got all the data and dont need to bother with searching partitions, right? [10:05] !root | candyban [10:05] candyban: 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 [10:06] et_: Thats just a more complicated way to do it, as opposed to the more friendly ccsm way [10:06] meuuijga, you enter your normal user password [10:06] rehan, just a sec (: [10:06] Peddy, thanks [10:06] Peddy, tried that =\ [10:06] soreau: I realized. [10:06] SarcasMo: some program related with package managing is running.. [10:06] meuuijga, bizarre. Try "sudo nvidia-settings" from a terminal [10:06] ohsix, how does sudo help when the system cannot boot and asks for the root password (or Ctrl-D to continue ... which it can't since the root partition has issues) [10:06] rehan, I know how to do it, but keeping the icons is different. So i'm experimenting [10:07] soreau: But without compiz, the window just *moves* rather than snap off and unmaximize.. !! [10:07] Peddy, sweet. yeah i know its silly but i like those icons :-P [10:07] candyban: it doesn't, hurr [10:07] rehan, I know, I'm the same (: do "gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs " [10:07] rehan, there you can type in the paths of your ntfs hdd. Do you know how to find the paths of the respective folders// [10:08] Peddy, ok, did that, GUI popped up. i'm able to change the fan settings but not the clock speed [10:08] i must have missed something, single user mode doesn't ask for a password; you can also use init=/bin/bash on the kernel commandline [10:08] ohsix, so so why did you let the bot believe me that sudo isthe answer [10:08] et_: compiz can do everything you are wanting [10:08] candyban: dogma [10:08] ohsix: 1 2048s 3907028991s 3907026944s primary [10:08] meuuijga, bizarre. This is coolbits, correct? how did you enable coolbit? [10:08] I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error" [10:08] Is there another way to get into single user mode (like when I said it fsck cannot correct the problem automatically) [10:08] if i recover data from 'whole disk', am i finished or could there still be data in hidden partitions? [10:08] ohsix: looks like the first sector is on 2048s, which i believe is proper alignment [10:09] ejv: i thought it was 1024 or 1m or whatever, but yea; that works [10:09] rcconf: i cant find the prgrams that are running [10:09] Peddy, Yep sure is. I edited xorg.conf and added Options "CoolBits" "5" in tthe device section [10:09] soreau: Yes! [10:09] Or is the preferred method to boot from a live cd and fix it that way? [10:09] ohsix: well i gave it a start position of 1MB, is that too much? [10:09] rcconf: i just checked system monitor but i dont see anything related (or i overlook it) [10:09] ejv: shrug, you could put it at 0 and it'd still align it [10:10] ohsix: basically: `mkpart primary xfs 1 -1` [10:10] hmm [10:10] k i'll try === aqs is now known as aqcoder [10:10] ohsix: nope doesn't like starting on zero: "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance." [10:10] meuuijga, is overclocking greyed-out? I'd try nvclock [10:10] SarcasMo: maybe another user === Guest6512 is now known as LjL-Temp [10:11] ejv: maybe because the way you're doing it assumes the operator knows what they're doing :D [10:11] at least it tells you === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest99821 [10:11] hmm perhaps :D [10:11] rcconf: is that possible when another user never logged on? [10:11] iirc gparted will just do it [10:11] hi guys, all my files show an x and a lock icon on them so I cannot open them. Of course if I gksudo nautilus, they will open fine but how can I tell those files that I am now their new owner? === aqcoder is now known as aqaqs [10:11] Peddy> that's what i tried at first(nvclock) enable overclocking is uncchecked but i am able to cccheck it, then adjuust the sliders. but then like i said it goes bback to defautlt settings. sorry for typos this laptop keyboard sucks [10:12] meuuijga, try running nvclock with "sudo" in front of it! [10:12] rehan, we tried our best (; [10:12] meuuijga: be careful with nvclock, you can damage your vga [10:13] Peddy, so awesome. Thank you! So once i get ntfs-3g setup and can do automounting, i could just put in the directory via /media/[ntfs drive name]/folder? [10:13] rcconf: its not another user [10:13] rehan, that'll do the trick. You'll have to log in and out. Note that spaces in your folder name "eg My Document" may have to be preceded by an escape character - eg "My\ Documents" [10:13] iqpi> lol yep. justt had to reboot. funny thing is i'm trying to UNDERclock my card [10:14] Peddy, awesome. [10:14] I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error" [10:14] i used nvclock and i do not remember i had to do anything to aply changes. [10:14] rehan, I'm glad you're trying out ubuntu - hopefully your experiences will only improve from here. You already have the perfectionist mentality, as linux users do (; [10:14] bye-bye [10:15] Peddy, about logging in, what would that require? right now i am able to browse there via the GUI and it doesn't ask for a password [10:15] Peddy, haha thanks [10:15] rehan, I mean, logging in and out after changing the paths in the text file [10:15] Peddy, oh ok, cool. perfect [10:16] Peddy, well i am off to do a clean install. I shall see you around in here Peddy. Thank you so much again. [10:16] Quit [10:17] Peddy> one odd thing to me, whenever i restart my session, the terminals i'd closed are back aggain . could that be pointing at another problem which is causing the nvclock/coolbits issue? [10:17] iqpi> same question [10:17] meuuijga, when I used coolbits/nvclock, i had to re-do it every time i log in. it's not saved [10:18] Peddy> oh yeah from what i read i was expecting that much. but not being able to change it in the first place is my prob [10:18] or the pain in the rear rather === iqpi is now known as {qp} [10:19] meuuijga, can you describe again what happens with coolbits? [10:20] Peddy: They are only the coolest bits around, duh ;) [10:20] soreau, -1 and -0! so cool they're negative. [10:20] heh [10:21] Peddy> alright. i log in to my desktop(KDE) , go in to nvidia system settings. i've enabled the fan control and the gpu/memory clock adjustments. whether i run as normal or su i am able to change the fan speed, but whenever i click apply for the gpu/memory settings , it resets to default values [10:21] Peddy> [10:22] I have a lost ubuntu 10.04 32bit partition with some files on my hardrive, can I rescue it with an ubuntu 64bit 10.04 cd? [10:23] meuuijga, are you aiming to change fan speeds, or clock speed? or both? [10:23] Peddy> both, my goal is to get my card underclocked to run cooler [10:23] Peddy> [10:23] Peddy> thanks to nvidia's faulty drivers, my card exploded, so i need to get it running cooler or else it becomes unstable and crashes the system [10:23] meuuijga, are you on a laptop? [10:24] oh [10:24] Peddy> i'm able to get the system stable in windows via Rivatuner, but no such luch in linux [10:24] i'm on a laptop atm talking to you. but the system in trouble is my desktop [10:24] in places when i clikc to for example on Documents it open it with movie player how to fix it? [10:25] meuuijga, graphics card in the machine you're underclocking? [10:25] Peddy> yep [10:25] like [10:25] what model is it? XD [10:25] Peddy> oh hah geforce 9600 GT [10:26] meuuijga, I have the 9800GT so I'm actually going to get coolbits working on my system, then report to you. [10:26] Awesome [10:26] meuuijga, what was the line you added to xorg.conf? [10:27] Peddy> [10:27] Peddy> dammit lol. anway it is Option "CoolBits" "5" === D_N_X is now known as DNX [10:28] /proc/sys/kernel/domainname is empty.

[10:33] as opposed to underclocking [10:33] Peddy> tried overclocking as well. any sort of adjustment simply doesn't stick [10:33] [twisti]: You probably should be :) [10:33] i'll try autodetect quickly [10:33] zykes-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev [10:33] meuuijga, did you manage to get it running as root?

[10:37] that's how i have it running atm [10:37] _ikke_: because you write to a "root" folder? === meisth0th_zzz is now known as meisth0th [10:37] meuuijga, I wish I could help you further, but I lack the knowledge.

[10:38] Peddy> Thanks a lot for whatyou did [10:38] <_ikke_> fairuz: Or doesn't setuid work that way? [10:38] _ikke_: if it's owned by root, then only sudo can execute it [10:38] afaik [10:38] _ikke_: for a bunch of security reasons that I', not sure I agree with, setuid "scripts" don't actually run setuid.

Attempting to install ubuntu 10.10 on top of win7, however ubuntu installer only see's my 2nd hard drive (D: in windows) I partitioned my first drive in windows (C:) to have free unpartitioned space, however it does not show up in the ubuntu installer. Any ideas? Thanks for any input [11:28] thanx [11:28] NET||abuse: Maybe you're using a theme that have little or no feedbacks? Also, if you're not getting it on 10.10 -- the bug got fixed, perhaps. [11:28] I am using wireless right now from my neighbour [11:28] I can't even logon to the modem page [11:28] once i managed to open 1/3 of it [11:29] saruji, You might want to try using the "manual" partitioning instead - that allows you to specify your target(s)... [11:29] i try [11:29] sry i have droped [11:29] I have changed ISP and now I can't connect my laptop to internet [11:30] YankDownUnder I go through the manual partitioning instead, however the drive does not appear there? Is it possible that win7 wrote MBR to the 2nd drive and install itself on the 1st? [11:30] I am using wireless right now from my neighbour I can't even logon to the modem page [11:30] keyUp: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [11:30] when i ping google.com from terminal it said 58 ms [11:30] something like that [11:30] you have the wrong dns servers [11:31] 8.8.8.8 was google dns right? [11:31] adjust /etc/resolv.conf [11:31] keyUp: yes [11:31] keyUp: can you ping 8.8.8.8 [11:31] sec [11:31] now I have wireless on [11:31] if i plug it of and try to ping i will lose irc [11:31] sec i will login again [11:32] YankDownUnder I go through the manual partitioning instead, however the drive does not appear there? Is it possible that win7 wrote MBR to the 2nd drive and install itself on the 1st? [11:33] how to enable the universe component? [11:34] how can I make an external usb bootable? [11:34] does anyone know how to fix broken language support? [11:34] I already installed ubuntu on it and I can mount the partitions and run programs from the usb with chroot [11:34] jatt goto administrator and choose create startup .... [11:34] YankDownUnder: are you using wubi to install or a liveboot cd? [11:34] saruji: I tried that some weeks ago and it recreated my partitions! [11:34] saruji: I lost all my data [11:34] saruji: is there a way to do it with the command line? [11:35] the drivers are only for windows :-((( [11:35] jatt, right but it was bootable [11:35] saruji: the partition /dev/sdb2 is marked with * when I do fdisk -l [11:35] jatt you asked, how do I make an external usb drive bootable [11:35] saruji: so it's bootable in principle, the bios also tries to boot from the usb, but it fails [11:36] jatt ah, so the computer does not boot to the usb drive? [11:36] jatt: you need to install a bootloader in the usb drive [11:36] guampa: you mean grub? [11:36] does anyone know where the language locale config files are to edit manually? [11:36] yes grub, syslinux, grub4dos etc [11:37] perlmonkey: theres a gui tool in the administration menu to manage language settings [11:37] guampa yes it seems to be broken or have a long standing bug issue [11:37] guampa: will try that, I also try to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [11:37] guampa: however it seemed to me very complicated, I will try to just install grub and see what happens [11:38] does it make a difference if I install grub in the usb when I access my usb with a chroot? [11:38] jatt: no, its not necessary to chroot to install it [11:39] <[twisti]> isnt there anyone here who will help me with my language issue ? i cant imagine this would take more than like 60 seconds [11:39] guampa: how can I do it without chroot? I chroot to it and then run apt-get or gnome-session to run graphical programs there [11:39] !anyone | [twisti] [11:39] [twisti]: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[11:41] jatt: it isn't but for other reasons, "apt-get install grub" installs the grub software package in your system, its not for arbitrarily installing grub to some device [11:41] <[twisti]> i was hoping someone could be like "right click, 2nd option from the top, then 3rd option, then 1st button" [11:41] this language bug is driving me crazy [11:41] I don't know what i s the problem [11:41] i got this when pinged 8.8.8.8 [11:41] 18 packets transmitted, 5 received, 72% packet loss, time 17054ms [11:41] when I am connected to lan i don't have interet at all even I am conected wan now i pluged of lan [11:41] guampa: I see, thanks!

I'm not sure if it installed correctly [12:41] ManDay: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and verify it actually works with unetbootin and/or usb-disk-creator [12:41] it works with unetbootin [12:41] i can confirm that [12:41] saksham: what software? How did you install it? [12:41] hi i have installed xubuntu along with windowsXP,an and i have recently updated my xubuntu to kernel version 2.6.35-28 and how when i choose to boot windowsXP in grub, winXP boots without any problems until i get to see my Desktop for 5 seconds and then all of the sudden the system restarts/resets and I land in the grub bootmenu [12:43] brian1: if win xp starts booting it's a windows issue [12:43] brian1: that sounds like a windows problem [12:43] brian1: if you can see your desktop, grub is working fine. at that point it has long finished its job [12:43] how can i disable parts and joins and quits in irssi? [12:44] benzaldehyde: /window level -parts -quits iirc; theres online /help though if i'm wrong [12:44] ok good to know [12:44] i installed octave (on opensuse), and while installation, I ignored an error shown about a missing library [12:44] later i installed the library [12:44] !quietirssi | benzaldehyde [12:44] benzaldehyde: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [12:44] saksham: but this is #ubuntu for ubuntu support [12:45] ManDay: I don't know of the specifics but doesn't unetbootin do more than what you described? Involving syslinux? [12:45] benzaldehyde: /window level -joins -parts -quits [12:45] yes..but I figured there won't be much difference.. [12:45] that just said window level is now NONE?? [12:46] saksham: please ask in the channel for your distribution [12:46] ok [12:46] has anyone tried etoile desktop environment here ? [12:47] jrib: i'm not sure. i thought unetbootin simply usesy syslinux instead of grub [12:47] i thought they are interchangable [12:47] after all it sorta works [12:47] Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic [12:47] its just that error half they way through the boot [12:47] ManDay: hmm, don't know enough to help you [12:47] no prob. thanks for the hints jrib [12:47] my 10.4 does not support my huawei modem [12:47] Another little question, I can just access my jboss server (that is isntalled in same machine) using 127.0.1.1 or the computer name. Is there anyway to do that when someone points to my IP (intranet) he could be able to access the jboss server? (if it would be at 127.0.0.1 it would work). Sorry if question is not concise. [12:48] ManDay: the way i understand it, as long as you can specify an initrd and kernel params, you can use grub1/2/grub4dos/syslinux [12:48] huh? [12:48] guampa: what will that do [12:49] what is that path you mentioned? [12:49] oh, lol [12:49] ManDay: ... [12:49] its not meant to be a path i see [12:49] yes, i thought so too [12:49] no just the options [12:49] yes. [12:49] is it maybe related to specifying file=/cdrom/... as a kernel arg? [12:50] i think the problem really is that the kernel assumes that it finds itsself and its data on the cdrom /dev/sr0 where actually its on the usb [12:50] /dev/sda [12:50] (or so) [12:50] hmm what are you trying to boot? an ubuntu? [12:50] the kernel doesn't do it, the scripts in the initrd do [12:50] yes 64b desktop [12:50] /join #wordpress [12:50] ohsix: yeah or that [12:50] hi [12:50] hm [12:51] where i can find the spanish channel [12:51] #ubuntu-es [12:51] thx!

I'm a newcomer to Ubuntu (and mostly Linux as well) -- Anything I have to know when trying to set up a secure system? [12:54] Also, what's a good choice for browser & IRC Client? [12:54] you could just like, install it; it's a fully mountable fs and you can chroot to it and run the installer [12:56] hi ! Is there a command to know what is the file pointed by a symbolic link? [12:56] Kicchiri: you can start securing by setting up a firewall [12:57] !firewall [12:57] 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. [12:57] Blizar: ls -l [12:57] guampa: theres not much running by default, and stopping those is advisable before just firewalling everything [12:58] Blizar: also readlink. « readlink -f » will keep following symlinks recursively [12:58] firewalling is always a good thing anyway [12:58] not [12:58] Hm. Thanks. I will require some open ports though... what's the primary source of insecurity on not-firewalled ports? [12:58] tony does not rule [12:58] really interesting jrib thx [12:58] benzaldehyde: please keep the discussion in this channel about ubuntu support only [12:59] not really interested in arguing, so be that as you like [12:59] Kicchiri: the primary source is unknowable!11 it's really scarry ;] [12:59] tony does not rule ubuntu software [12:59] benzaldehyde: ok funny, but seriously stop:) [12:59] Is there a software in ubuntu to adjust software-based contrast/brightness/gamma etc. (like in windows).. [12:59] guampa: firewalls can be messed with, it's the software and the exposure surface that's a problem, firewalling can be part of that [12:59] alright :3 [12:59] Asad: for video outputs or for everything? [13:00] ohsix: ... uhh... for my laptop LCD monitor. That's video output yeah. [13:00] Asad: video as in things that use a video port, not the display itself [13:01] Hi all, I have a question concerning broken packages after an update [13:01] I can adjust gamma using xgamma but I wanted to adjust contrast/brightness too.. [13:01] Asad: xvattr changes the xvideo port properties, and video players occasionally support it directly, as for the rest it'd be driver specific afaik [13:02] ubuntu play game?? [13:02] oh ok ohsix .. so i guess it would only be available for non-free nvidia/ati drivers ? what is used for intel hd displays in core i5 ... ? [13:02] I keep getting the following: unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/md5sums': Is a directory [13:03] found no solutions online [13:03] Asad: i do not know [13:03] DP_Prophet: well... is it a directory? [13:03] no, it doesn't even exist [13:03] hi, one question! in bash how to can save the symbol & in a variable? [13:03] DP_Prophet: what are you installing? [13:04] libdbus-1-dev [13:04] just an update [13:04] Zulo: foo='&' [13:04] hi [13:04] Asad: i lied, xrandr has gamma controls for individual channels [13:04] jrib: tried uninstalling, --purge [13:04] thanks jrib :) [13:04] apt-get install -f [13:04] lol cool ohsix ... [13:04] xrandr where do i know that word from [13:04] but nothing [13:05] DP_Prophet: can you pastebin full output with the error (and the command you ran) [13:05] sure, sec [13:05] i currently use xrandr to switch from and to internal/external display ... somehow ubuntu doesn't support fn + f4 on my laptop [13:05] Asad: you should report a bug about that [13:05] hello, how do i find out which device is mounted to /media/32rewrewrewr... ? [13:05] Asad: but theres also the monitor applet which uses xrandr and applies your prefs at boot [13:05] s/boot/logon [13:06] tim167: type « mount » [13:06] jrib: thanks :) [13:06] I am trying to run slon sql90_cluster "dbname=openbravo3rc4" and slon sql90_cluster "dbname=healthopenstagingdb" in ubuntu 9.10 as deamon so that it will start in boot time. Shall I add this file to /etc/rc.local file ? [13:06] I installed ubuntu on a server I marked "automated security updates" how can I change this? [13:07] afterwards [13:07] resmo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates mayhaps [13:07] jrib: http://pastebin.com/G198XN7z [13:08] Asad: i don't use a laptop but i can tell you that alt plus a numbered F key will take you between shells and when in GUI alt+ctrl plus F keys will do the same. usually the GUI is on F7 [13:08] I pressed Ctrl+C in terminal and it interrupted (as it's supposed to) but I'd like to uninterrrupt, can i do this? [13:08] jrib, this seems not the way ubuntu made this [13:08] resmo: hmm, how come? === adrien_ is now known as Guest36045 [13:09] Ctrl+C should be Copy, are you thinking of Control+Break? [13:09] jrib, I mean in the installer, you can checkmark automated updates, and I want this to be undone [13:09] Ja23: you can't uninterrupt it, that kills it; you probably wanted ctrl+z [13:09] benzaldehyde: uhh.. alt + ctrl + f4 for toggle display? [13:09] resmo: yes, you verified that it's done using one of the two packages mentioned on that wiki page? Can you check if they are installed? [13:10] Ja23: then you use job control stuff to work with it, fg, bg, jobs; it's part of your shell [13:10] in GUI it that should take you to a shell [13:10] Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic [13:10] ohsix: So i should press ctrl+Z [13:10] jrib, yep, also check cron.d and cron.daily nothing found [13:10] checked [13:11] Ja23: that will interrupt a running program and give you an opportunity to continue it in the background or the foreground; instead of killing it completely [13:11] ohsix: I was in the middle of working on installing a ppa of gnome, and it was asking me a question, and I went to copy and paste the q into google [13:11] Ja23: if you wanted to copy things from a terminal when theres a dialogue on it, hold shift so it doesn't send mouse clicks to it [13:12] resmo: are you sure the updates are enabled? [13:12] ohsix: yeah, I found that out the hard way, haha [13:12] ohsix: So, is there a way to take a step back? [13:12] howdy, i've a rather serious problem. I removed my inscription files n' I can't find their. I tried with photorec and other programs but it don't work. I must send these files before this friday : [13:12] can anyone teach me how to install a tar.gz file? [13:13] Ja23: in a terminal, ctrl-c is break. to copy, either select the text with your cursor and use middle-mouse to paste. or use shift-ctrl-c or ctrl-ins to copy [13:13] kz3: you avoid doing so and just use apt [13:13] !compile > kz3 [13:13] kz3, please see my private message [13:13] Ja23: you'll have to start again; chances are since you interrupted it, it will say packages are broken and to use dpkg-reconfigure or something, then it will re-ask you the question [13:13] how to compile? [13:13] jrib, I ask this myself :). hmm I am installing again in a vm, to see the difference... thx [13:13] kz3: compile what [13:13] \nick Morgoth [13:14] Is there a proprietary nvidia driver that supports Vanta?

[13:14] i wanna install utorrent on my PC and i had to download a tar.gz file and i am not able to install it [13:14] papagno : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Natty/11.04 support/discussion. [13:14] howdy, i've a rather serious problem. I removed my inscription files n' I can't find their. I tried with photorec and other programs but it don't work. I must send these files before this friday : [13:14] !utorrent [13:14] hi. i'm search a solution in order to close a session instead of lock it when there is a certain amount of inactivity. i've searched but didn't find any solution [13:15] kz3, tar.gz is a archive.

[13:17] Lew_: what do you mean, what options ? [13:17] like [13:17] Lew_: well that is ultimately up to you, do you mean how to slice it? [13:17] Lew_: unless you know you need gpt, yes; use mbr if it's an x86 [13:17] gpt? [13:17] huh? [13:18] Lew_: linux can read all sorts of types of partitions, but it's up to your computer's bios to boot them; so if it's a boot volume it's important to use mbr [13:18] oh gparted [13:18] im doing it because my HDD is pretty much missing [13:18] hi. i'm searching a solution in order to close a session instead of lock it when there is a certain amount of inactivity. i've searched but didn't find any solution [13:18] and it had the orgiginal ubuntu on it [13:18] gparted is great [13:18] SpitfireWP please see my PM [13:18] solvik: forcibly closing things can lead to data loss [13:18] doing what [13:18] !who [13:18] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:19] ohsix: well, i know. but i still *need* to do that [13:19] solvik: if it really is inactive stuff will get swapped out for things that are actually running [13:19] Question (double check): I accidently pressed Ctrl+C while building GNOME, it was paused, telling me I had a phase build error, and asking me a question, is there any possible way to undo my Ctrl+C [13:19] solvik: then rig up something to kill their session ;] [13:19] Al;right so [13:19] solvik: often you will have to work with gconf-editor to tweak this [13:19] Ja23: are you using jhbuild or something? it should ask you what to do if it's interrupted [13:20] Everything to do with myHDD I get this error "Daemon is inhibited" [13:20] ohsix: yeah I was using jhbuild [13:20] ohsix: the real problem is there i have several pc with a session system (nis). but when somebody is loggued on more than 1 pc he can't run firefox/chrome (the .config/chromium/SingletonLock etc..) [13:20] and it's very annoying [13:20] so when there is no activity, the session close itself === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:21] solvik: try /apps/gnome-screensaver/logout_enable and logout_delay [13:21] Ja23: i don't know but why not purge and start over [13:21] solvik: you can't set up your authentication to not let people on more than once? [13:21] anyone know? [13:21] benzaldehyde: It was dling stuff for a few hours and my gf just got here and yada yada [13:21] Everything to do with my HDD, I get "daemon is inhibited" [13:21] Lew_: what are you trying to do? [13:22] Benz: format the HDD [13:22] Lew_: by everything, do u mean automount ? === gigi is now known as Guest2801 [13:22] benzaldehyde: I was also worried that if I quit (does that mean purge?) that it would be messed up [13:22] ohsix: i don't think it's possible with nis :) [13:22] its a boot [13:22] Lew_: do you have gparted open? those disk tools inhibit udisks while they're running [13:22] No I dont ohsix [13:22] Ja23: sir this is a nerd channel kindly take your having a girlfriend and friends and a life elsewhere :) [13:23] i'm kidding [13:23] benzaldehyde: =P [13:23] Anything to do with my HDD I get that error [13:23] "Daemon is inhibited" [13:23] Lew_: find out whats inhibiting udisks [13:23] benzaldehyde: so, it's OK if I just close the terminal and try it again before going to bed? [13:23] even in uparted [13:23] gparted [13:24] theres nothing open [13:24] jrib, thx, that helped somewhat! Now there is the following however: http://pastebin.com/XgWam47u [13:24] Lew_: purge removes a package and its 'remnant' files [13:24] Lew_: what is, technically speaking, this HDD ? Classical SATA or USB stuff ? [13:24] DP_Prophet: did you recently have some hardware issues? Run fsck? [13:24] SATA [13:24] Its a boot HDD [13:24] Lew_: well, something is [13:25] Ja23: purge removes a package and its 'remnant' files === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:25] hi [13:25] How do I upgrade to a kernel that's not the most recent?

[13:25] i need help on ubuntu [13:25] im on LiveCD now [13:25] Lew_: tried fdisk ? I wonder if the inhibited daemon is not something like hald [13:25] on trial ubuntu [13:25] jrib: had a HD-issue some time ago, ran full recovery then. Haven't done that for a while now. Will try on next reboot. Thank you for your help! [13:26] anyone else in here on 32Gig of ram? [13:26] Christoper: you're not, you said you where on 16 [13:26] fdisk?

[13:33] is there a way to fix that exepect a full reinstall ? [13:33] I asked a question in the ubuntu+1 chan but nobody is talking there [13:33] Torgan, you need to reinstall and use grub [13:33] Christoper: Christope | ikonia, does 11.04 have PAE? [13:33] I used grub :/ [13:33] jjp http://pastebin.com/hJ46cwNv [13:33] iceroot: it's unimportant, i already got the information i needed by asking him about it [13:34] iceroot, he told me to use the server version of Ubuntu which has PAE kernel [13:34] so I am downloading it [13:34] Torgan: you probably don't need to reinstall, just (re)install grub [13:34] Christoper: ah ok [13:34] how ? [13:34] Christoper: pae is always a bad idea if you have an amd64 cpu [13:34] Christoper: that might sidestep the problem, but it won't fix the one you're having with the 64bit version [13:34] iceroot: Why is that?

SATA mode [ 3.441720] scsi3 : ahci [ 3.441933] scsi4 : ahci [ 3.442069] scsi5 : ahci [ 3.442416] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed [13:41] gartral: the applet wouldn't help if the throttling modes were broke already, which it sounds like they were [13:41] why did you boot me [13:41] Lew_: I don't know, depends what the status was changed to [13:41] Christoper: because you don't need to rant about ubuntu / linux, we can try to help you, there are bugs [13:41] this sucks [13:41] >.< [13:41] Christoper: if you want to use another OS, just use it but don't start moaning [13:42] no I WANT to use Ubuntu [13:42] can anyone please help me install a tar.gz file [13:42] but every time I try it fails on me [13:42] ohsix: no, they work, but the cpu doesn't properly report it's load conditions, the throttling applet works fine [13:42] Christoper: then listen too the person giving you advice. [13:42] gartral: if you could pick a frequency i wouldn't call that working [13:43] because the governor would still be broke [13:43] ikonia: i dont see a reason to kick him instead of a single bad word,the rest was ok and normal questions [13:43] ohsix: blam AMD for being lazy. [13:43] ehm [13:43] somehow i don't think they're to blame [13:44] iceroot: there was more than that [13:44] ohsix: really they are. i've had that same problem with every Athlon/Duron cpu i've ever used [13:44] gartral: uncanny, because i haven't! [13:45] ohsix: that is weird. [13:45] that's not the adjective i'd use [13:45] in ubuntu open box I am not able to see anything ...when I click obconf === v__v is now known as V01 [13:46] Howdy [13:48] anyway, i found what i consider too be a bug in 10.10: it is impossible too adjust a laptop's backlight while on battery thriugh the power preferences gui. [13:48] impossible? [13:49] do the key controls and other things still work [13:49] hi guys, anyone using FF4 x64 that managed to install the flash plugin? [13:49] ohsix: no. because this laptop lacks a "proper" key control for that function. [13:49] afeijo: you mean the one with ndiswrapper or the native one? [13:50] czajkowski: /24 [13:50] ohsix, I'm trying with ndiswrapper and the flash plugin for 64 bits [13:50] bah [13:50] ohsix, I downloaded the file from the adobe site [13:51] oops [13:51] ohsix: the slider under AC Power will work when the laptop is plugged in, and the setting sticks when it switches too battery power, but thee's no adjustment slider under battery power, but if i adjust the slider under ac, plug and unplug rapidly, the new value takes place and sticks [13:52] when will py3 become the default python in ubuntu? [13:52] hi. got a bit of a query regarding a theme problem.latest version of ubuntu, and using the default theme, initially the clock didnt count/change at all. Changed this to ambiance theme(time then updates) but today turned on the PC, time was missing completely and the username is discared a little. I change to the clearlooks/default theme and right away back to the ambiance one and all is ok again. Any ideas please? [13:52] Solar flares. [13:53] DexterLB: not before 11.10 [13:53] AdvoWork, that is an odd one... not sure what the is or might have been,, is it now stablelized? [13:53] afeijo, the flashplugin-installer should install 64 bit flash if thats what your system's architecture is . [13:53] BluesKaj, I'll try it [13:55] if I turn off bluetooth on my laptop, when I restart it's on again. How can I solve this problem? [13:56] papagno, Remove the service from the /etc/init.d directory (or just change it from +x to -x) [13:57] YankDownUnder: doesn't it use upstart? [13:57] DexterLB, Could use that as well - or just remove the service from the /etc/init.d directory - your choice.

[14:04] blackguard-: i just told you what it means. if a partition is mounted nodev you can not create a dev node in that filesystem. i can say it louder but not clearer [14:04] erUSUL: dev node ? [14:04] hi everyone i need some help setting up my internet key, it appears that the only solution would be using usb-modeswitch since network manager doesnt work well with it (i can provide further details) [14:05] blackguard-: /dev/sda is a dev node pariculary a block device [14:05] blackguard-: everything in /dev/ is a dev node [14:05] blackguard-: no dev means you can't point to a /dev/thing from inside that filesystem. [14:05] blackguard-: some are block devices others are character devices [14:05] epzis: have you installed usb-modeswitch? what model is the internet key? [14:06] blackguard-: you can create a dev node with "mknod" mknod wont work in a nodev filesystem [14:07] guampa: usb-modeswitch is installed (natty's one) and if you give me one second im fetching it [14:07] i think i got it [14:07] guampa: k3086-z thanks by the way for your interest [14:07] guampa: on usb-modeswitch site it says it works, but something is so so wrong lol, lets me set it up, lights turn on but when i click on the newly made connection it says i cant connect [14:08] epzis: run: lsusb and the 8 character hex ID will help you find guides [14:08] epzis: if you have it detected in network manager, then usb-modeswitch has done its job already [14:08] guampa: then why it doesnt connect? O_O [14:09] ActionParnship: what do you mean? on google? [14:09] epzis: whichever search engine you like [14:09] ActionParsnip: erm...i did my research [14:10] epzis: ok, what is the 8 character hex ID please? [14:10] 19d2:1015 [14:10] epzis: Try right clicking the modem in your file browser and ejecting it [14:10] ranjan: u der? [14:10] Paddy_Nl: i tried it from disk management, it even says its a cd lol (ejected both) [14:10] epzis: My modem used to require that I always did that [14:10] epzis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10490373 [14:11] the stick is already mode-switched, otherwise it wouldn't get detected as a modem....

(people leaves and comes notifications) [14:18] fairuz: depends on your irc client [14:18] Dr_Willis: Pidgin can do that?

Seems like my gnome is not able to see a window manager properly ( i removed e16 afterwards) [14:19] epzis: the log says it modeswitched allright, i was thinking more the lines relative to the connection, but if you try to connect manually with wvdial you'll be able to see those too [14:19] fairuz: If you're using Pidgin, go to the preferences menu, search in the Conversation tab, and deactivate notifications. [14:20] guampa: im trying it, ill be back in abit hopefully hope you're still on [14:20] thevishy: perhaps use fusion-icon to tell it to use compiz or metacity [14:21] thevishy: enlightenment hasnt been under active devlopment for years??? if im right [14:21] well.. can we use voice call on pidgin? [14:21] yahoo voice call [14:21] soop: a great great many years. [14:21] soop: ist still in devlopment.. a constant state of development. [14:21] dr_willis: might as well use windowmaker ... at least it had nice widgets [14:21] * soop swoons for slack/windowmaker ;) [14:21] soop: windowmaker is nice in ways. but shows its age these days [14:22] SystemDefault0: ty [14:22] the e17 has some very neat features. but lacking in ways [14:22] the 'enlightment foundation libraries' (I think thats the name) are being used by some embeded systems and other apps these days as well. so E is not dead. :) [14:23] l4ng1t use skype [14:23] what about yahoo voice call?

LOL [15:03] jona___________s: however you can (and should) modify the virtualhosts defs in /etc/apache2/sites-available/* to put indivdiual namedbased virtual hots in /var/www//public_html/ [15:03] airtonix: should the default site be disabled? [15:03] I am following a guide to install the Linksys WUSB300N driver, but it keeps freezing when I plug it in to my computer. I got this to work on my old Ubuntu computer.

[15:04] :P [15:04] jona___________s: remember for local dev purposes you can make use of avahi cnames to provide subdomains of something.hostname.local [15:05] jona___________s: it goes to /var/www by default [15:05] this is for a business site.. but may also host my personal site on it in the future [15:05] in google-talk my fonts gos not normaly [15:05] airtonix: so that default "hello" or whatever message people see.. comes from /var/www? [15:05] jona___________s: i would think about segregation then [15:05] jona___________s: yes [15:05] what file is it [15:06] jona___________s: typically the default document is index.html [15:06] so after installing apache2... that creates a /var/www/index.html?

[15:07] eveningsky|2: enter the ip address [15:08] jona___________s: the point of separating it from http.conf is to make disabling and enabling virtualhosts easier. so yes it is required for sane website operations. [15:08] i just removed windows today and threw linix on the HD, been a good day :P [15:08] eveningsky|2: 192.168.0.4:8080 or whatever [15:08] i just pring alot pinguins [15:08] haha [15:08] in my printer [15:08] I put the local ip of the computer. it just sits there.

Version 1.14-1 (maverick), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB [15:12] hello, I "fdisk -l" to check my disks and see the raid 1 disk with "Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes" and the other disks with "Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes", is it normal? [15:12] i love that google-fu [15:12] jona___________s: yes, you also need to make that directory and it then also needs to be chowned to www-data user and group. [15:13] airtonix: "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/default"? [15:13] LjL, cool, thanks for letting me know [15:13] jona___________s: yep, don't forget to use sudo if you're not already using the root account. [15:14] i've been googling my wifi problem all day, and got nothing. [15:14] airtonix: restart or reload? [15:14] not really sure what requires what [15:14] :P [15:14] jona___________s: you might also find it useful to add yourself to the www-data group. although some people might think this is bad. [15:14] jona___________s: sudo service apache2 restart [15:14] airtonix: why service over /etc/init.d? [15:14] is it the same? [15:15] i just recovered bunch of files with photorec but the disk has bad a few bad sectors so i thought i'd use ddrescue also just in case [15:15] jona___________s: slightly but no. the /etc/init.d method won't always be around. [15:15] does anybody know where i can find some good (video) tutorials for pyopengl? [15:15] both network-manager and wcid claim to connect with 100% service, but I get no internet. anybody got any ideas? [15:16] hey guys, does anyone here have any know-how on connecting with a usb modem for wireless internet? [15:16] j0n5ch: maybe you should ask in #python [15:16] eveningsky|2: can you ping 8.8.8.8 when you are connected to the wireless? [15:16] airtonix: I'm still kind of new to the whole IRC thing so I'll be sure to do that. Thanks [15:17] WildRaubtier: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex id to find guids [15:17] j0n5ch: you'll need to register before you can join #python [15:17] anything I try pings once and then freezes [15:17] !register | j0n5ch [15:17] j0n5ch: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [15:17] is there a less resource-hungry desktop/window manager setup than the standard GNOME setup or the unity? Is xfce any more efficient? [15:17] 84 bytes of data [15:18] j0n5ch: unfortunately pygtk doesn't really have a presence here on freenode, but pyside (a fork of pyqt) does, pygtk lives on the gnome irc servers. [15:18] An_Ony_Moose_: xfce is pretty good. [15:18] including trying to ping my router [15:18] I've tried a lot of guides but they're either outdated or confusing :S [15:18] What editor do people here use in linux? I want Xdebug support but I don't want something java based (eclipse, netbeans, etc) nor do I really want to use VIM. Any native GTK based editor/sdk that supports PHP & xdebug would be awesome. [15:19] switch10_, I'll try it out, thanks. I have an old asus eee pc (the oldest model actually I think) and it just isn't powerful enough for unity [15:19] ActionParsnip: ooh! ooh! I just got another 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8\ [15:20] An_Ony_Moose_: xfce is lightweight and still looks pretty good too. gtk apps work well with it too. [15:20] I need to build an emergency reboot command for when a server becomes read only. It needs to supply the password for a sudo users in one command line. [15:20] The reboot command pipes "b" to sysrq-trigger but prompts for a password: echo b | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger [15:20] I know I can pipe the password to sudo via this command: echo password | sudo -S command [15:20] ok thanks switch10_ . Can you suggest a browser? I currently use either chromium or w3m, depending on whether I need graphics. [15:20] These do not work: echo password | echo b | sudo -S tee /proc/sysrq-trigger [15:20] jlh2206: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:20] hi all [15:21] An_Ony_Moose_: I use chromium on a GUI. links2 for non GUI stuff. [15:21] i'm using wireshark but i only see some kind of packets [15:21] in synaptics i see ddrescue and gddrescue...is one better than the other? [15:21] if i'm connected to a switch is wireshark useless? [15:21] switch10_, ok, so I'll just continue using chromium. I'm quite happy with w3m. Thanks for the suggestions :) [15:22] what [15:22] whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat [15:22] pumeust: gddrescue is probably the one you want === MrAdam|Laptop is now known as THEBRODOZER|WORK [15:22] pumeust: gddrescue is probably is the GUI version [15:22] dyd: not at all, it'll just only show packets you actually receive. [15:22] ayecee funny i did google on gddrescue and i dont see nothing [15:23] pumeust: gddrescue is the gnu version. [15:23] switch10_: no gui [15:23] ahh [15:23] pumeust: It's just a graphical front end to ddrescue [15:23] ohh [15:23] genii-around: nope, it's not. [15:23] I have been facing this issue from the very fist day in intalled ubuntu. I'm not able to connect to certain site. I had even tried google public DNS but no help [15:23] eveningsky|2: nice, tried rebooting your router then reconnecting? [15:23] i played around with my X by installling e16 and then removing it ....now Ubuntu Desktop doesnt load with Metacity anymore though a command like Metcity in terminal works [15:23] what should I do [15:23] how do I configure all these things? [15:23] yeah [15:23] ayecee: yes, i was reading on wiki differences between switch / hub... too bad i wanted to spy my university activities :) [15:24] a command like choosewm doesnt even display Metacity [15:24] ActionParsnip: yeah. [15:24] ayecee: can i fake my mac address to be like the "victim" mac address and receive the same data he receives? [15:24] ayecee: Apologies then. Usually the ones that start with g like gparted and so on are the gui versions [15:25] how do I reinstall a package like Ubuntu Desktop ? [15:25] it seems few settings got botched uop [15:25] up* [15:25] can anyone access the forum ubuntu BR and see if you can access http://www.ubuntuforum-pt.org/ [15:25] thevishy: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [15:25] nishant@thegladiator:~$ gnome-wm [15:25] exec: 182: e16: not found [15:26] can anyone access the forum ubuntu BR and see if you can access http://www.ubuntuforum-pt.org/ [15:26] I did that , but ActionParsnip it seems that gnome-wm etc is botched up [15:26] it tries to upon e16 which I removed [15:26] dyd: not really, no [15:26] CMatomic, it's down for me too [15:26] any one? please? [15:26] dyd: the switch will still only send the packets to one port. [15:27] for the most part [15:27] ok thanks tjiggi_fo [15:27] beautifulmind, what's the site? [15:27] drupal.org [15:27] ayecee: i'm checking out arp poisoning... seems quite hard to do [15:28] Greetings [15:28] dyd: maybe, but I don't think it's appropriate to this forum :( [15:29] I'm attempting to compile OPAL libraries (for Ekiga) to include H.263/H264 support however I'm not succeeding with the task as it ends in an error when I try to make - pastebin here - http://pastebin.com/rpC44ayf [15:29] beautifulmind, works for me on firefox 3.x [15:29] tjiggi_fo: yeah I have problem with all the browsers [15:29] ayecee: ;) ok!

I can play things and hear it through my speakers, but after a some seconds of playing (about 10-30, sometimes more) the sound mutes.

[15:40] mix22891: You haven't asked your question in over an hour. [15:40] mix22891: consider reformulating your question. [15:40] i can't see Hebrew Fonts in Google-Talk program, what do i do?

[15:42] how can I write a RewriteCondition to ignore a certain file [15:43] adi11: The tool i have is called "Plop Boot Manager" [15:43] Billbawb what it does? [15:43] IdleOne> nothing there [15:44] the bios i have does not have the option "boot from usb" [15:44] adi11: You boot it from the floppy, then use it to boot the usb [15:44] mix22891: you didn't search the forum or bother to post a question [15:44] strigoi66: looks like I'll have to install a full blown desktop to get audio to work on server. No biggie [15:44] you mean the floppy diskette? [15:44] Billbawb: nice. good find. [15:44] is there a channel dedicated to network spoofing and stuffs like that?

Server is beefy enough, so gdm isn't going to put any real load on it. It will also leave me with being able to use mplayer which I'm most familiar with anyhow. [15:47] cd drive is missing. floppy disk is missing, and no boot from usb.

A program is free to cd to any directory it chooses. [15:50] soop: running a game from wine [15:50] runing VM from xp [15:50] the game reports an error that one of its files are missing [15:50] if i run it from a shortcut [15:50] adill cant you just do an upgrade?

[15:51] i'm adding network cards to my vm but they're not registering. not showing in dmesg, not showing in /dev/net, any help? [15:52] console will work [15:52] i installed ubuntu 10.10 after installing Windows 7. Ubuntu is on a different partiton. Now after I reboot, the computer goes dirctly to ubuntu and doesnt allow me to choose windows or ubuntu. i can access my windows partition on ubuntu but it wont boot. Any ideas? [15:52] jsebean: what happens if you run: sudo update-grub [15:52] jsebean: edit your grub configs [15:52] jsebean: sudo update-grub [15:52] jelaw [15:52] jsebean: does it detect windows if you run that command? [15:53] update grub finds linux and mem test but doesnt show windows [15:53] jsebean: does boot.ini exist on the windows partition? [15:53] one sec... [15:53] grub looks for boot.ini [15:53] jsebean: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l [15:53] ok thank you guys. i think i will tell the owner to throw this away :) [15:54] afraid not [15:54] eg. this is my boot.ini and it shows windows as its name in boot.ini [15:54] adill or spend 20 $ on a cd drive. [15:54] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Deleted Windows" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect [15:54] good idea [15:54] can i put in a boot.ini? [15:54] shows on grub update as "deleted windows' [15:54] :) [15:55] you can, but im not sure about the format [15:55] and if its still used in win7 [15:55] ok [15:55] i'll google around [15:56] jsebean: If "sudo os-prober" doesn't list your Windows install then your Windows install is almost certainly broken (as file critical for booting do not exist). [15:56] Windows Vista/7 doesn't use boot.ini. You have to repair your boot sector so that it loads Windows 7's bootmgr instead of Windows XP's ntldr. I don't really know how to do that, though. It involves the Windows 7 DVD.

What's the probability of my hard drive being.cause of the fault vs a faulty ISO or bad read? [16:12] i've tried centos [16:12] adill looks to me like you can boot from USB. have you tried?

[16:16] benzaldehyde: I was answering your question "whats a bad burn [16:16] I've had live disks come out faulty. reburning the ISO solved the problem, so ill check the md5 [16:16] does anyone know why ubuntu isn't setting ip with hcp server on boot??? [16:16] adi11: I would just use a usb stick. [16:17] adi11: if you can boot from an external drive you can boot from a usb stick [16:17] switch10_: i think you thought i was asking how one knows--what criteria is the person asking the question determining that it is indeed a bad burn and not an incompatibility but no biggie same difference [16:18] i can't scroll up with irssi, man [16:18] benzaldehyde: page up :) [16:18] benzaldehyde: page-up [16:19] most high end usb sticks tend to not work as a notable medium tho. the success rate is higher these days, but.cheap sticks tend to work best in my experience.

[16:25] or thereabouts [16:26] shomon: the individual entries in mail.log might mention a delay in processing. might also be name service delays. [16:26] Dreki: I would like to see this myself :) [16:27] rubbish ubottu, bots are passing turing tests a bit more each day... on my capchas anyway. [16:27] sipior - name service delays - you mean dns? [16:27] shomon: yep. [16:27] ok thanks...

[16:30] i have interfaces set with all the right codes [16:30] benzaldehyde: just saying that, pretty much anything you would need to know about irssi is covered in that FAQ. More of a compliment to irssi then anything else is what i was trying to do :) [16:31] Sorry... i missed that last message because I thought that nobody is going to answer me at all and closed the browser. But I have heard a sound right before the browser got closed. Could you please repeat the message? [16:31] benzaldehyde: check to make sure if you set a static that you can ping your dhcp server etc [16:32] IdleOne: i understand and i didn't mean to disregard the statement, it's just that i just now was able to stop all that trafic on the screen added to that the real reason of why i came here. i might add FreeBSD has an extensive FAQ too but man if i had two lifetimes i don't think i could ge through it all [16:32] heh [16:33] soop: i did not set static [16:34] 11:27 < mbeierl> rrykua: I'd use "wireshark" (available in the repos) and then capture all network traffic for viewing that way [16:34] hello every body [16:34] rrykua: see above ^ [16:34] benzaldehyde: thanks for repeating that [16:34] rrykua: no problem.

[16:58] yes : dr willis [16:58] pratheep: see what sipior said.. normally never needed.. [16:58] (i don't even think it's much of an issue under windows anymore) [16:59] it definatly is still an issue under windows7 :) [16:59] ok.. [16:59] Dr_Willis: for a minute i thought pratheep might have been going for 'deflagration' [16:59] just widnows has these in the background defraggers.. that make you not notice it as much [16:59] hi guys [16:59] pratheep: yeah, ext* places files far apart from each other, this avoids fragmentation [16:59] Dr_Willis: i think the "not booting windows" makes me notice it even less :-) === seiflotfy__ is now known as seiflotfy [17:00] LePousson: hola [17:00] pratheep: the guide from !defrag explains it better [17:00] defrag to more speed fin file on hardisk.

When I reboot my computer, the HDDs are not recognized as the same system drives. I mean sometimes one is /dev/sde1 and sometimes it is /dev/sdd1 ... [17:01] pratheep: that's for windows(ntfs), linux uses ext* [17:01] what program... [17:01] what can i do to make them recognized at every reboot like the / part with an UUID ? [17:01] can I have DNS server on server, if that server blocking ping requests? [17:01] check that defrag url.. in the many many many years of using linue. ive never needed to defrag. [17:01] hi benzaldehyde [17:01] LePousson: get the uuid [17:02] how can I get the UUID ? [17:02] LePousson: Check your BIOS boot order? [17:02] LePousson: you can set fstab to mount them by UUID, or even Label. if you wanted [17:02] !uuid [17:02] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [17:02] LePousson: yep, sudo blkid [17:02] patrykr: sure. [17:02] LePousson: hi. stuff like that happens to me when i don't umount the drive [17:02] LePousson: it lists UUIDs of drives [17:02] So you mean on ubutu had defrage like wp are automatic ..

[18:31] Slyboots_: I've not seen such a problem. You example shows filenames download?12345 & download?12345 I do not see the difference. [18:31] undercontrol: so, changing that would require compiling and installing a new kernel. That's why I say there's no easy way to change that.

However if I reboot the remote machine I can l longer see or login to it from the client... Could anyone help with this please? [18:47] hi, im a newbie of sorts running linux on the desktop, and more specifically on a dell laptop. My impression after 8 months of use is that ubuntu/linux works so so as a desktop operating system. On the hardware side, support is lacking / or crippled for graphics and controller devices. When it comes to graphics it does seem to have very basic multimonitor/ dock-undock support. You that have been in the game for a while - have things [18:47] been moving forward the last 4 years or is ths something you should get used to? [18:48] What torrent client should I use for films and stuff, Ktorrent?

[18:49] llutz: my bad, ok nvidia's developed proprietry driver and amd/ati's open source dirver [18:49] I believe there might be some connector for linux as well as in windows case we use nokia PC suit for this purpose [18:49] aeon-ltd, i guess so.. just wonder if there is some initiative to make linux more coherent.. how apps / utils work together.... like DDE for windows [18:50] Squarism: This is OT but it's been moving foward at very fast pace.

Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [20:25] roeland: sorry, mistab [20:25] someone speaks in Portuguese? [20:25] Riiick: #ubuntu-br [20:25] roeland, you will most likely get other problems either immediately, or in the future during upgrades [20:25] yah, wheni do anything sudo [20:25] alguem br aii ?? [20:25] roeland: To be honest I'm surprised that you're not having more problems. [20:25] !br | Riiick [20:25] !pt [20:25] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [20:25] Riiick: please see above [20:26] llutz how you mean 5 or 1 but not 6 , 4 i dont understand anything i am afraid :S i am new to liux [20:26] keyup:chown apache [20:26] oh.. wow ok, is there an easy way to reinstall? [20:26] Pici, he has, he's just focused on sshd now... he's also having problems with sudo now obviously [20:26] oks ;DD [20:26] that will change the owner of the folder [20:26] :S [20:26] i dont wanna redo all my apache mysql.. local network shares.. etc [20:26] ok [20:26] then? [20:26] Pici, if you can't log on... you cant see issues :P [20:26] TvL: :) [20:26] keyUp: a directory needs executable bit set to be usefull or none will be able to cd to it [20:26] roeland, well, did you backup etc before doing that? [20:26] should I and how to give permision to apache to write in the folder? [20:26] Polah: set a dir with files in it to 444 and try a "cat dir/file" [20:26] bbak [20:26] sudo mentions something about having sudoers needing to be 044 [20:27] roeland, if not, you should backup your current configs and reinstall. [20:27] hi [20:27] What is the most common page layout for making pdf files? (For example A4,A3,Letter...) [20:27] roeland: because /etc/sudoers is under /etc and so needs to be chmod'd back to a safe permission [20:27] roeland: and ssh wont work because ssh configs need to be protected as well [20:27] keyUp: i suggest you look into unix file permissions a little to understand the nu [20:27] keyUp: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions [20:27] Does anyone know why my desktop is split into 2 sides where the left side is crashed? [20:27] what if i did 044 to all of etc? could that solve my problem? [20:27] ok [20:27] smw, voce sabe instalar o jdownloader ?? [20:27] roeland: No. [20:27] Pakbaz: A4, in portrait [20:27] keyUp: numbers people are suggesting to you [20:28] I will read but I wanted suggestion so my websites ndn server stay secure from hacking [20:28] genii-around:thanks [20:28] ic. btw, im pretty much completley new to linux.. etc, its on a local test box for doing web development [20:28] KeyUp: Octal permissions use a format of OGP (Owner, Group, Public), the values you specify are either 4 for read, 2 for write and 1 for execute permissions. You add these together to give more than one of these permissions. Hence 776 will allow read/write/execute for the owner and group and read/write for public. [20:28] roeland, not that easy. Everything needs different permissions [20:28] roeland: no [20:28] roeland: save your entire /etc... always handy to keep around after a reinstall to check your configuration files. Also make a mysqldump of your databases... You might even choose to backup /var/lib/mysql (with its permissions!!!!!) and put it back afterwards.... Think about everything [20:28] Can someone help my with half of my desktop being messed up? [20:28] so if i set whole www directory to apache owner and if i give apache write permissions in www directory is this secure for my server and websites? [20:29] keyUp: its secure [20:29] Jonnn___: details please [20:29] damn alright. didnt realize giving 775 to all of etc would mess things up like this, apache and mysql still running fine btw [20:29] keyUp: no, giving full write-access to the web-server isn't a good idea [20:29] my network shares through samba are still working also [20:29] ok [20:29] its a local machine, no outside access [20:29] so 776 will do? [20:29] llutz, so what to do? [20:29] roeland: try manipulating the services [20:29] The left half of my desktop is doing that thing where when you drag a window over it it will show a trail [20:29] But the right half works fine [20:29] !permission | keyUp [20:29] keyUp: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:30] Hey. I'm trying to modify the files in the LiveCD for 10.10 x64 through UCK. I need to know where to add values to do certain things from the Terminal. Anyone able to help, or push me to somewhere i can find it? :) [20:30] llutz, you suggest to give write permision only in directories needed? [20:30] Jonnn___: what video chip? [20:30] keyUp: keep permissions as limited as possible, yes [20:30] built in intel one [20:30] It just started, it was fine before [20:31] ok thanks all [20:31] Oh, and this started when I uninstalled a macbuntu theme [20:31] roeland, why did you change permissions to all of /etc? [20:31] keyUp: and on directories, use 755/775 but not 766/776. read "man chmod" why [20:31] KeyUp: Yes. Apply it recursively to your entire web directory or just the folder you want people to upload into [20:31] does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ? [20:31] Jonnn___: what is the outp of: lsb_release -d [20:31] ActionParnersip: what do you mean by manipulating the services? [20:31] roeland: well, you've learned 2 important lessons: 1) backup your system if you don't want to risk having to reinstall from scratch and 2) don't mess with permissions in /etc if you don't know what you're doing... [20:32] loshki: that is true! [20:32] Ubuntu 10.10 [20:32] What's the d on file permissions for? [20:32] Polah: directory [20:32] Polah: its not permissions, its a dir [20:33] Polah: 1st character [20:33] loshki: the reason i did 775 and then 777 to /etc folder was to allow me to adjust etc files from my windows machine through the share i set up via samba [20:33] LLutz: Yeah, i.e. it's drwx. Obvious now that it would stand for directory [20:33] hi [20:33] roeland: whats wrong with putty? [20:33] I have Ubuntu 10.04, installed it with Wubi I think it's called. How long can I use this for? Like is it better to install and partition it properly? [20:34] roeland, use winscp and logon as root? [20:34] roeland, that is considered a bad idea period [20:34] freeburn: convenience [20:34] naomi: yes you should it in a separate partition to get the real experience [20:34] yeah roeland, I have to agree with smw... you should not do that === xardas008_ is now known as xardas008 [20:35] TvL: yah , im in agreeance now!! problem is i made a noobie mistake [20:35] naomi_: Using wubi is fine, but if you format your Windows partition then you will lose your Ubuntu install as well. The same applies that you will not be able to access it if your Windows bootloader fails for whatever reason. [20:35] roeland:for usnig notepad? [20:35] notepad++ [20:35] duh [20:35] roeland: fwiw, I agree with the others. Reinstall! Failing that, restore permissions to /etc/ssh/* and /etc/sudoers, and expect other "surprises" [20:35] llutz, polah thanks ill read chmod man [20:35] loshki: i am going to, ive learned alot already in the process of setting it all up [20:35] roeland:come to the dark side...unleash ViM [20:35] :) [20:35] roeland, been there done that ;-) [20:35] roeland, well, you learned two things from this. First, backup (with permissions) /etc. Second don't go changing permissions of systems files... ever [20:36] freeburn: ive considered it, but i would have to learn ViM ;) [20:36] roeland, nano is easy to use. [20:36] roeland, or if you are on an ubuntu desktop, you can edit with a graphical editor over ssh [20:36] I have a file in my system root named vmlinuz, would this be a remnant of my attempting to install GRUB? I don't recall seeing at before. [20:36] the good news is this linux box is only for internal web development. so me messing this up isnt nearly the end of hte world [20:37] so i've tried several broadcom drivers, (STA and b43) and neither of them work [20:37] roeland: I've been using linux for about 10 years now and I don't know how to use vim. nano works fine. [20:37] Polah: its usually a symlink to the latest kernel in /boot [20:37] roeland: you know i got a job when i was in college only because i knew vim:) [20:37] im runnin windows 7 on my work machine, editing files through netbeans. since i mapped the www root on my windws 7 machine [20:37] Polah, it's probably a symlink and it should be there [20:37] It doesn't say that there's anything wrong with it, and using ndiswrapper shows that it is recognized and the hardware is there [20:37] roeland, I have been using it for a decade also and I only know how to use the same features nano has in vim ;-). [20:38] Can someone help me? [20:38] so, nano is "like" vim? [20:38] I want to have both Windows and Ubuntu. And the first time I tried partitioning them i didn't know what i was doing so I used Wubi instead. HOw do I go about partitioning them properly, deleting this ubunti I have now etc? I don't want to lsoe everything I have on this. [20:38] but it does not show up anywhere else (eg. iwconfig or NetworkManager) [20:38] roeland: It's like it in that both at command-line based editors. [20:38] Riiick, with what? [20:38] roeland, it is another text editor. It is an easy one. [20:38] does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ? [20:40] does anyone know hot to fix this error [20:40] bash: line 230: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell-software-temp-bootstrap.list: Permission denied [20:40] i get it when running: wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash [20:40] Tetsuo55, I guest it installs software, you might want to put sudo in front? [20:41] hey. Anyone can advise how to modify settings on a LiveCD to add certain default settings?  Using UCK but the info I need relates to how to use the Terminal to make gconf changes. I also need to know which settings to change to effect my desired changes. [20:41] roeland, I suggest you dual boot ubuntu on your workstation. It is much easier to remotely administer linux servers with linux. [20:41] Testsuo55:run it as root [20:41] Tetsuo55, be sure it is legit!!!! [20:41] TvL: even with sudo the error is the same [20:41] Someone get me a doubt in time to install the jdownloader? [20:41] testi: sudo -i and run it then [20:42] roeland:its true that vim and emacs are weird compared to other text editors... [20:42] well [20:42] Tetsuo55: ^ [20:42] but they are damn powerful [20:42] Riiick, your sentences do not make sense. [20:42] Tetsuo55, you must give root rights to the bash program [20:42] and worth the effort to learn it [20:42] Tetsuo55, not the wget [20:42] wath ? [20:42] why ?? [20:42] Tetsuo55, become root like some people already mentioned: sudo -i [20:42] Tetsuo55, then your command again === Gurty is now known as Zou [20:43] llutz: freeburn: sudo is not the solution to any error mentioning permissions. You should not suggest running a command as root unless you specifically know that it is intended to be run that way. [20:43] TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do [20:43] Jordan_U: in this case it is. [20:43] ok that helps [20:43] Polah, I see, but he's using a pipe [20:43] still some errors but those are fixable thanks [20:43] naomi_: in short: backup your system; make space on you hdd; download the ubuntu cd; boot from the cd; install ubuntu to the free space [20:43] why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u [20:44] Polah, I don't think the command after the pipe will have root rights... [20:44] or not [20:44] Jordan_U: it seems like adding a repo in repo.d....so sudo should be the solution... [20:44] can i make it more verbose somehow? [20:44] why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u [20:44] Polah: that sudo would ba valid for "wget" but not the " bash" [20:45] llutz: Indeed, sorry about that. [20:45] TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do [20:45] Oops, llutz, TVL: I assumed it applied to the entire line and only needed to be respecified for a new line or && [20:46] Polah: that sudo would be valid for "wget" only but not the " bash" [20:46] Polah, llutz nope... :D [20:46] nevermind [20:46] <||arifaX> I have to restore the default permission for a /home/user folder. what is it in 10.04 server? [20:46] Polah, llutz wrong assumption :P [20:46] TvL: ? [20:46] hi all, I would like to use audio over HDMI on 10.10, the output device shows up in the sound menu but 'test' doesn't work. any advice? [20:46] the tool eventually falsy claims no updates are available [20:46] damn [20:46] llutz, sorry... should have included you [20:46] llutz, shouldn't .... damn... [20:47] ||arifaX, hold on and I shall look [20:47] <||arifaX> Polah: thanks [20:47] You can always send the password of a sudoer to the sudo command in a one-liner: echo password | sudo -S command [20:47] llutz, you mentioned the same to polah [20:47] ||arifaX, I have drwxr-xr-x, which I believe is 755. [20:48] <||arifaX> Polah: thanks saved my day [20:48] Polah yeah it is 755 [20:48] In my network notification area, it is showing b17 as wireless network, I am trying to connect to it, but i cant, what is that? [20:48] ||arifaX, polah: my homedir is 'chmod 700', but it is encrypted using ecrypts... so it's a mountpoint [20:48] hello, I need help with Skype on 10.10 , the problem I am having is that the sound doesn't always work when I am in chat and I can't figure out why it won't work sometimes, this is on 10.10 64 bit on an HP pavillion DV7 188dx [20:49] ||arifaX, don't forget to make sure the owner and group is correct. [20:49] I think you should be able to make your homedir chmod 700... since it's yours? I don't know if this assumption is correct [20:49] why should a home-dir be 755? no other user should have right to enter/read user-dirs [20:49] TvL, ||arifaX : 700 would make it inaccessible to anyone apart from the owner [20:49] <||arifaX> smw: yeah it is. just made a lot of changes for finding an error (which was an apparmor cups-pdf thing) but now all is fine thanks to Polah - thanks all [20:49] ppq: kannst du mir bitte sagen wo ich sehen kannw elche treiber gerade benutzt werden [20:49] $ ls -ld ~ [20:49] drwx------ 107 lutz lutz 4096 30. Mär 14:36 /home/lutz [20:50] oops, TvL it is [20:50] Polah, ||arifaX exactly what I would like!!!! [20:50] also so ne art gerätemanger wie in windows ppq [20:50] nobody should be snooping in my homedir!!!! ;) [20:50] !de [20:50] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [20:50] who knows what I've stored there [20:50] does anyone have problems with the Skype log in now? [20:51] TvL: Certainly good if you don't want anyone finding your stuff. I don't store anything in my home directory anyway, so it'd be a waste for me to do that (apart from settings which go there) [20:51] Polah, why don't you store anything in your homedir? [20:51] stathis, I am logged into skype fine now [20:52] Polah, that's it purpose right! Always handy to know: if I backup my homedir, I've got all my stuff :-) [20:52] TvL: I have a secondary hard drive for all my data stuff; downloads, schoolwork, music and so on. [20:52] stathis, when I have problems, I like to run killall skype; sleep 2; killall -9 skype and then run skype again. [20:52] hey all [20:52] Hello, Coz_ [20:53] stathis, problems logging in or talking to people. [20:53] smw, I used force quit because It frozw and now I cannot log in. [20:53] Polah, I see! I must admit I have a secondary filesystem as well, mounted on /data, owned by tvl:tvl and chmod 700 :P [20:53] Polah, hey guy [20:53] smw, it says server connect failed [20:53] stathis, open a terminal and type killall -9 skype [20:53] Is there any application out there besides dropbox where I can create a public link to any file on my computer that can be downloaded from the internet? [20:53] stathis, restarting should also work. [20:54] pushpop, dropbox is the best. [20:54] TvL: I could set myself as just the owner of that drive, I suppose, as no one else actually has to access this computer. [20:54] Hi, is there any project or something about chinese chars recognition as an input? [20:54] yea, nothing else out there though? [20:54] pushpop, you could host it on your local computer, but that is rarely practical [20:54] smw, I tried everything. I also reinstalled the program [20:54] pushpop, you have a few other options, but none of them are easy. [20:55] stathis: i've been having the same problem for the last hour... [20:55] pushpop, nor do they work as well. What is the problem with dropbox? [20:55] Polah, that's a good practice if you ask me... sooner or later you will give someone an ftp account, and all stuff will be visible... [20:55] Large files [20:55] no enough space [20:55] not* [20:55] alsuna, should we guess it is a skype inc. issue? [20:56] pushpop, why do you want this? [20:56] pushpop, you could manually use rsync to sync with a remote server you control... [20:56] often find my self needs to send large files [20:56] Is there a kernel option that would allow any user (not just root) to bind processes to ports < 1024? [20:56] yes an ftp could do it [20:56] id rather have it downloaded by a direct url [20:56] TvL: I don't need FTP to my personal computer. Although I've set up FTP on a VPS I own and taken the precaution of making the account they use unable to use sudo and the FTP is locked into their home directory. [20:57] undercontrol: Look at the authbind package. There is more than one way to do this. [20:57] pushpop, I use sftp to transfer files from home [20:57] stathis: probably; i won't jump into action about it just now and hope it's a skype problem they'll resolve soon [20:58] Hey, Ok, i'm in gconf-editor in UCK modifying a LiveCD of Ub10.04x64.   Which values do I edit to disable the startup items? Any able to help with this? :) [20:58] pushpop, maybe rsync to an http server? [20:58] maybe [20:58] yea that sounds like an option [20:58] Polah, that's good, also good to set the shell: /bin/false. Only thing I wanted to say was: requirements change. You can't predict the future... If you make it as tight as possible from the beginning, you will most likely run into less problems in the future :-) [20:58] undercontrol: Don't send personal messages in this channel. Ask the question here. [20:58] TvL: What's would setting it to /bin/false do? [20:58] pushpop, I just am not sure what you are doing. I just sftp like I said. sftp works over ssh so no new software is needed on the server, just the client [20:59] Polah, you're ftp user cannot logon using ssh [20:59] ok thank you [20:59] TvL: Oh, thought it might be that. I need them to be able to though to restart certain things if the server is rebooted for whatever reason and I'm not available. Is there an option to lock their shell into their home directory as well? [20:59] Polah, because it will not get a shell. I've even put the 'AllowUsers tvl' on my private server [20:59] alsuna, I hope so.. they cannnot leave linux community without skype [21:00] dajhorn: can u say one way to do this ? [21:00] undercontrol: Go install the package, and then come back and ask questions about what you don't understand. [21:00] Polah: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian [21:01] llutz: Thank you very much. I'll have a look over that. [21:01] Could anyone help me with the Mac4Linux package? [21:01] Polah, not sure if this is what you are looking for http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/ [21:01] Polah, AllowUsers is from ssh.... I have no experience of chrooting users to their homedir using ssh, but a quick google showed that there are a lot of posts/howto's about it [21:01] alsuna, smw thank you both! lets hope the problem will be resolved soon! :) [21:02] Can someone help me with installing a new AWN Theme? [21:03] Polah, rssh does chroot http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/faq.shtml#5 [21:03] KramB, I know nothing about AWN only cairo dock [21:04] Anyone help with modifying gconf settings? [21:04] sirgad, which settings? [21:04] various. [21:04] um [21:04] lol [21:05] disabling startup items on a liveCD for starters. [21:05] sirgad, oo [21:05] i'm in UCK's terminal [21:05] sirgad, not sure about that one [21:05] stathis: i just restarted my machine and i could connect into skype afterwards [21:05] hey guys, i have a server that says its root partition is full but when i do a du on it it shows as being nearly empty, is there something else i can check to see if its eating up space somewhere? [21:06] saritor: df [21:06] saritor, you have a running "tail" process? [21:06] TvL: ooo thats a good idea, let me check that [21:06] !pastbin [21:06] saritor: I've seen it before where someone deleted a large log file, but didn't restart the process that was writing to it. We found it using lsof [21:07] pastebin | guillaume_ [21:07] Anyone help with modifying gconf settings? :) [21:07] ayecee: yeah i think that is very likely, i had a program running that ate it all up at one point and i have to move it off that partition [21:08] Hi, can somebody help me getting mysql and squeezeboxserver talking together? [21:08] hello [21:08] Is there a way to get my icons to line up on the right side of the desktop instead of the left when I do auto-align by name ? [21:08] have a question [21:09] how do i delete a directory? [21:09] WeThePeople: rmdir [21:09] or rm -r dirname [21:09] hello [21:09] have a question [21:09] WeThePeople, rmdir. If it is full (use with care!) rm -rv [21:09] !ask fsdfdfd [21:09] !ask | fsdfdfd [21:09] fsdfdfd: 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. :-) [21:09] okay but [21:09] first: [21:10] !enter | fsdfdfd [21:10] fsdfdfd: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:10] smw: what is the difference between rmdir and rm -r ? [21:10] alsuna, rmdir does not work on directories with files in them [21:10] terry, yes [21:10] Anyone help with modifying gconf settings? :) Pretty please :) [21:10] alsuna, rm -r is dangerous! [21:10] !repeat | sirgad [21:10] sirgad: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[21:11] ah, apologies, new to irc. will be more patient. [21:11] alsuna, also, don't forget to add v (rm -rv) so that you can see the files being deleted. [21:11] rm -r is enough.- -f forces removal or read only items [21:12] I realize that this isn't a ubuntu issue, and that this is a gnome thing (I had the same issue in Fedora) but I'm on a laptop, and I want to have it default to middle click when I tap two fingers, and right click when I tap three, but it defaults to the opposite. I know I can do "synclient TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3" to set it to that, but if I close the lid, it goes back to default. Is there any way I can set that to the de [21:12] fault? [21:12] and #gnome is practically comatose [21:13] smw is it just dangerous because you don't get to see and confirm what you are deleted? [21:13] alsuna, it is dangerous because it is very easy to delete stuff you did not intend to delete. [21:13] alsuna, I use -v so I can see if I did something wrong. [21:13] alsuna: if you want to see and confirm, add -i... then itll ask for each file "are you sure?" [21:14] alsuna, but by the time you see it, you can only reduce the damage. [21:14] eggbertx_laptop, it default when you close the laptop (suspend?) or turn it off completely?

[21:22] naomi_: no, upgrade just updates what's outside of /home [21:22] i just had to install a 2nd linux friendly card. [21:22] naomi_: and if you were to reinstall, you could choose in the manual partitioning options to not format /, in which case everything in /home would be saved [21:22] naomi_: No, it just upgrades the system itself. You shouldn't lose everything. Update Manager should tell you if there's a newer version available and give you an option to upgrade if you run it.

I get a whole bunch of stack traces in the logs like these: http://pastebin.com/Vt1NnTGf ...always seems to be rsync, which makes me think it's related to a backup operation (to a local BackupPC server) ...any idea what might be wrong? [22:33] switch10_: thank you [22:34] pushpop: hit alt+f2 and type "emerald --replace" without the quotes [22:34] yaaar: this doesn't look complete, is there more above? [22:34] guampa still no borders [22:34] it removed borders around my terminal [22:35] try resetting compiz instead: compiz --replace [22:35] dritz dpkg --get-selections | sed 's/install//g' === gianni is now known as Guest89010 [22:35] Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.

[22:41] in each case the detect crt and status show functions are at the top of the stack? [22:41] yaaar: I'm not seeing anywhere where it says _why_ it's showing the stack. Normally it'd say there was a panic or something, _then_ dump it, so it looks cut off. [22:42] ok lemme go get some more [22:43] Does anyone know of a good English to spanish translator for ubuntu [22:43] can you help me? [22:44] hello all, does anybody know how to set nondefault location for the desktop (not the home directory)? [22:45] ayecee: well i doubt this is any better. but here's the first part...as you can see there's a two-hour gap between the first message (which looks to be the last boot message) and the second one (the first of the crash messages) http://pastebin.com/TvG2fuCN [22:45] I'd like to have vlc launched when I view a flash player instead of the browser playing it. Is that possible? Is there an add-on ? [22:45] bdamos: .config/user-dirs.dirs [22:46] is their any offline spanish to english translators [22:46] genii-around: thanks for the quick response. i'll check that out!

[23:01] Hello. Is there anything I might do that would fix 'Failed to fetch ... Size mismatch' errors from apt (apt-get or aptitude)? [23:01] Miciah: is that from install/upgrade or from update? [23:01] maco: Install. [23:01] Miciah: try "sudo apt-get update" [23:01] maco: Done that, repeatedly. [23:01] maco: I have a fresh install of natty. I'm reinstalling a lot of packages, but many of them give me that error. [23:02] Miciah: oh. then in that case id guess maybe the server is being weird. you could try a different mirror i guess [23:02] Miciah: or wait a day or so... :) [23:02] maco: I've tried two, including us.archive.ubuntu.com. I could try another mirror. [23:02] RichardoCrispus: I just installed on one of those not long ago. Worked fine.. You might check the media. Or see if any other boot disk works in that CDROM drive, (make sure the drive is ok). [23:02] nopf: I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks. [23:02] oh [23:02] Miciah: i think us.archive and archive are the same [23:03] The drive is ok [23:03] And I can boot Knoppix [23:03] RichardoCrispus: You have it set up to boot to CDROM, right? [23:03] Yes [23:03] o [23:03] maco: I also tried archive.linux.duke.edu. I could try another mirror... [23:03] Is it possible to sync all google content (calendar, mail, contacts) into Evolution in some "exchange"-way? Put inn your uname/pw and *Wham* there it is? [23:03] RichardoCrispus: Well, must be problem with the media. [23:03] I can also boot Zorin, but I do have graphical issues [23:03] maco: I did verify with curl -I and apt-cache showpkg, and the file sizes do indeed differ. [23:03] Miciah: is apt-get update giving you errors when you runi t? [23:03] *run it? [23:03] RichardoCrispus: I don't know what zorin is. [23:04] It's a new Ubuntu derivative, based around a windows 7 UI [23:04] ? [23:04] RichardoCrispus: Try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (You'll be glad you did.) [23:04] I'll give that a go [23:05] maco: maco Yes, but not for the Ubuntu repositories, only for ftp.us.debian.org and apt.duke4.net. [23:05] It's for my parents, XP's dying and they just need a low powered computer for internet [23:05] Miciah: wait...you have debian and ubuntu repositories mixed? [23:05] I'm installing ubuntu [23:06] maco: Yes, but I haven't installed anything from Debian at this point, I have Ubuntu pinned, and I've tried apt-get install -t natty and -t maverick. [23:06] But as I have nothing to do, I opened the "how fast.ogg" on the desktop. [23:06] Now the system stopped responding. [23:07] Is there any way to save the installation? [23:07] Btw, how is ubuntu/Windows 7 networking? (Ie being able to access public folders on each os) [23:08] maco: Anyway, the Content-Length from the mirror and the Size in the package listing definitely differ (I checked with curl -I and apt-cache showpkg). [23:08] Anyone knows how to install drftpd? [23:10] Are their any other offline translators for ubuntu [23:11] 'apt-cache show', rather, not 'apt-cache showpkg'. [23:12] I just tried another mirror (http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/), and I have the same problem (and see the same discrepancy between the package listing and actual file sizes). [23:14] anyone know how to list all software within a given PPA? [23:14] How is it that this problem is not generating enourmous amounts of complaints from other Ubuntu users? Maybe there's an evil proxy interfering with my connection (both at home and at university!?)? [23:14] Miciah: it sounds like you're having a local apt-cache problem, but i dont know how to fix it :-/ [23:16] maco: OK, well thanks for trying. I'll poke around some more.

[23:37] cant seem to find anything that works in compiz,art manager..etc [23:38] i have very annoying problem [23:38] victorhugo289, you can open .exe files with Archive Manager.

[23:39] keyup, please try to ask your entire question in one return, its hard to read fragmented questions [23:40] shaosin: If yes, I might recommend using vsftpd. I don't have experience with any other FTP server software === mike_ is now known as Guest61986 [23:42] it was all fine, then today because of some reason when I plug off power cable from my laptop screen go darker, in power managment it is unset to go blank but still it goes.. [23:42] shaosin, have you tried filezilla [23:42] hello everyone. I have ubuntu 10.10 and I want to install xubuntu because of old hardware. Installing the xubuntu-desktop package will do or do i need to remove all gnome and kde packages as given on xubuntu's website ? === Guest61986 is now known as mikeb [23:42] jayant: if you want xubuntu only, then uninstalling gnome and kde packages is required. [23:43] jayant: just install the desktop...having gnome and kde on the drive won't slow anything down unless you use it [23:43] needhelp1: Oh, is drftpd an FTP client? I assumed it was for running an FTP server [23:43] jayant: (use them) [23:43] are there any good bookmarks organizers out there [23:43] bastidrazor: thanks for the reply [23:43] WeThePeople, Firefox has a built-in bookmark manager at least. [23:44] Is there an easy way to modify the grub boot loader? [23:44] Polah, no idea, i just know that for me, filezilla has always been great. Filezilla has a client and server so it may be worth looking into, what are you trying to do?

Are applications for xubuntu differet. Does this mean that If i run applications that i have already installed on ubuntu then they will run slow and i if i install them for xubuntu, then they will work fine? [23:45] jayant, what are you running in ubuntu that is running slow? [23:45] needhelp1: Ah, it's a Java-based FTP server. [23:45] jayant: the gnome and kde apps will still use their libs and run slower. For max performance you should look into the xfce apps...mousepad, thunar, xfburn, etc [23:46] needhelp1: nearly everything, tux guitar, anything that runs along with firefox. Ubuntu software center and synaptic package manager work extremely slowly [23:46] is there some bug going on with laptop power managment when cable is pluged of or? [23:47] jayant, are you on 10.10 with all recent updates ? [23:47] th0r: ok thank you. after i install that package, what next will i have to do ? [23:48] needhelp1: no, I dont update because update manager slows down my system too. It works fine alone though, but i am unable to run anything along with it [23:48] Polah its for a ftp server [23:49] I have an 8 year old PC [23:49] jayant, has it always been this slow, or did it just start doing this? did it ever run fine? [23:49] shaosin: Look into getting vsftpd instead. [23:49] when I plug of cable for power from my laptop screen brightness lowers even in settings is set to 100% when on battery why? [23:49] lftp? [23:49] Polah [23:49] could this be a problem with keyUp's backlight .. problem with the laptop itself ? [23:49] needhelp1: a long time ago, i tried installing ubuntu 9.10 and that worked fine. Windows xp runs fine but ubuntu 10.10 never did [23:50] th0r: what command on the terminal will i have to use to install apps for xubuntu ? Like sudo apt-get install for ubuntu ? [23:50] no i don't think so [23:50] hello people [23:51] jayant, did you upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 ? or did you do a cd fresh install? [23:51] I installed mozplugger as per the Forums, but cannot get evince to display pdfs inside firefox. I'd appreciate any help you can give. [23:51] needhelp1: Fresh cd install. Erased entire disk [23:51] jayant, may want to ask in #xubuntu [23:51] jayant, hum.. 11.04 beta is out tomorrow :) [23:52] needhelp1: ok..thanks a lot for your time [23:52] needhelp1: New OSs are not meant for 8 year old box [23:52] jayant: apt-get works in all versions of ubuntu ( and in all debian based distros for that matter ) [23:53] erUSUL: will i have any problem if i install same application again but from xubuntu [23:53] jayant: sorry; what same applications? i do not understand what you are asking... [23:55] erUSUL: like i have installed audacity, tuxGuitar nd stuff that work slowly. But after i install the xubuntu-desktop package, will i have to download them again ? If yes, then will a new copy have problems with the old existing ones ? [23:55] jayant: no; you do not have to download them again [23:55] erUSUL: then how will my system work fine ? [23:56] jayant: running xfce will not speed up something like audacity. You will have to try out various packages and see what performs well and what doesn't [23:56] heya guys, I'm having an issue with chromium-browser hanging (only kill pages dialog works), but for some reason google-chrome works fine. how can I debug the issue ? [23:56] jayant: well xubuntu's desktop envoirment is said to use less resources then gnome. so more resources are free for the apps. that may improve things i dunno [23:57] th0r: what various packages ? [23:57] erUSUL: oh, ok...thank you [23:57] how do i download a synaptic package from the terminal ? [23:58] jayant: sudo apt-get install packagename [23:58] !software | jayant [23:58] jayant: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [23:58] jayant: for instance, gedit will still run slow, but mousepad will probably perform nicely. Xfburn will perform better than brasero, thunar will perform better than nautilus === marcos is now known as Guest84979 [23:59] jayant: while all those 'better' packages can be run in gnome, they will run better in xfce due to the smaller resource demands of the wm [23:59] erUSUL: sudo apt-get install works for packages or for applications ?
