(Actually you cannot define it as a bridge interface name) [00:22] larious: I guess you could manually look through the repository and grab the files for it.

[00:30] maybe you can check the program there [00:31] Polah: I dont have money to subcribes [00:32] Larious: Uhh, you still need to pay money for a phone/fibre line to be able to connect to the internet... [00:32] Polah: we pay for connection here [00:33] Polah: that is my country for you [00:33] Polah: No free network here [00:33] larious: Yeah, you have to pay for an internet connection everywhere. Line rental and usually a broadband service. [00:33] Polah: I have now completed purging and then reinstalling pulseaudio. I'm not hearing sounds, and the Sound Preferences does not seem to list anything under Hardware [00:34] Polah: But with that program you can connect freely, but I pay low cost with that program [00:34] larious: You can't connect freely with anything. Like I said, you still need to pay your ISP to be physically capable of connecting to the internet. [00:34] Polah: I used that on my XP and now want to be more advance to use another window [00:35] IsmAvatar: Hmm, I'm not too sure about reinstalling drivers for your hardware, better to ask someone else. [00:35] Polah: as i am browsing with you, I pay no money [00:36] Polah: so you think I just need drivers for my hardware? [00:36] larious: So you don't pay more for line rental or broadband connection? A tunnelling service doesn't just work if you can't actually connect. [00:36] Jasonn: Aren't you using the GUI then (I have seen some articles about hamachi2 and there is a GUI for gnome) ? [00:36] IsmAvatar: Yes, if it's not picking up any hardware. I could be wrong, I'm not an expert === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:37] adrian15: Is there? [00:37] Polah: I dont pay.... maybe you can just give a try [00:37] adrian15: I just have the terminal version [00:37] larious: I know it won't work because I have to pay a line rental and a broadband fee to be able to connect to the internet at all or even use a phone.

Probably you have an hamachi command that autosetups everything ;) [00:38] Polah: I use this so I know it work for me... but need help to install sun java please help [00:39] adrian15: Its a 3rd party app that controlls hamachi [00:39] Jasonn: Yes.

[01:03] pac1: its actually when "Password" has focus for me [01:03] hi guys ;-) greetings [01:03] HouseMD, doh.... of course they do... I was looking for them to appear first. [01:04] What's the name of that ubuntu service that will like . . . generate a custom ubuntu VM for you? I can't seem to google it [01:04] anyone is running a qemu-kvm with spice support in it on ubuntu?? [01:04] pac1: cool, problem solved then :) [01:04] got a problem, see dr. house... [01:04] lol [01:04] evermean, anybody using qemu is a crazyperson :P [01:04] hehehe [01:04] Tell me you don't go around with 2 days beard growth [01:05] pac1: It saturday, shaving on sunday ;-) [01:05] me too. [01:05] I bet evermean has a unix beard. [01:05] actually, i'm trying to get spice running in it, but it's giving me headaches, and seems it's working actually without (too) much effort [01:06] lol, i don't ;-) [01:06] is there a way to get the unity widgets to show even if you're using another gnome shell? [01:06] evermean, the real question is why you're using qemu. But to each his own sir. [01:07] help! I have an ext2 partition and a folder just turned into a file?! how could this happen? how can I restore it? ubuntu 10.10 [01:07] why!?!?!? Anyone know why the fglrx package requires qt stuff? http://paste.ubuntu.com/588771/ [01:07] btw pac1, i was able to apply a theme to gdm by simply exits to console ctrl+alt+f1, add an export DISPLAY=:0.0. Then run the gnome-appearance-properties and then ctrl+alt+f7 [01:08] Kre10s: probably for gui-settings stuff (guessing, nvidia here) [01:08] Kre10s, I'd be willing to bet it has a GUI control panel of some sort. [01:08] I haven't used fglrx in a long time though. [01:08] rockets, i'm using kvm because of being a good hypervisor for a VDI infraestructure, and right now is working great [01:08] but i would like to add spice support for the client desktops [01:09] evermean, whatever makes you happy sir. [01:09] HouseMD: nope ati. [01:09] Does anyone know how to change the default localdomain from .local to .somethingelse [01:09] If VDI = virtual desktop infrastructure. . . vmware is MUCH better. But it has the significant disadvantage of not being free. [01:09] you know a better solution? you have anything running with vmware vsphere or something? any information is appreciated :D [01:09] Kre10s: Nah, I am pretty sure _I_ have nvidia [01:10] yeah, that's it rockets [01:10] rockets: the people at #debian say their fglrx package does not require qt anything [01:10] evermean, vmware is fantastic but not a real option unless you're willing to buy the hardware certified to run ESX [01:10] that's it [01:10] Kre10s, Ubuntu != debian. [01:10] i had problems with hardware, vmware was my first choice, but it's really expensive [01:10] Ubuntu is based on debian, but it isn't debian. [01:11] I have a pci audio card that works, but for some reason after installing 10.10 it wants to use my internal audio device instead of the card. how can i choose which device is being used by default? [01:11] evermean, you might want to look into edubuntu. It has built in thin client stuff. no idea what hypervisor it uses though. [01:11] evermean, in fact its thin client so its likely not even virtualized [01:11] please somebody help [01:11] yep, so they should be using LTSP, right? [01:11] HouseMD: fglrx: This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of some ATI graphics cards [01:11] yeah. [01:12] :-( [01:12] If you really want good free VDI . . . I hate to say this man but . . . Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V edition is free. [01:12] rockets: so how do these packages differ? [01:12] Kre10s, I have no idea. I'm just saying that just because debian does one thing doesn't mean ubuntu does it the same wya [01:12] infinitux, can't you switch to a different card using the volume applet, on the "hardware" tab? [01:12] Kre10s, im not the fglrx maintainer [01:12] fglrx is supposed to be a driver... why bind it to a desktop manager? [01:12] Kre10s, the nvidia driver comes with a control panel. ask the maintainer dude, not me [01:13] rockets, that's a philisophical question about software packaging that I cannot answer. [01:13] guess i need to be in gnome for that? [01:13] yep... [01:13] Kre10s: cause as I and another one said.... it might have a gui to control settings [01:13] okay. brb [01:13] Actually the nvidia control panel kind of breaks everything when I use it . . . i avoid it. [01:14] Alright [01:14] I need to get back to work for realsies. [01:14] how does one install a more updated version of a program from the repositories? [01:14] lawfulfalafel, use update manager [01:14] well I mean for updating a program beyond the current version [01:14] like beyond the version for 10.10 [01:15] are you running 10.10? [01:15] ya [01:15] if so, you can't really [01:15] some packages are provided in PPA's with higher versions, but not many are [01:15] lawfulfalafel: wait for 11.04 and there probably be an upgrade [01:17] HouseMD: well I kind of don't have a choice, a program I am trying to use requires a software version 10.10 doesn't have [01:17] lawfulfalafel: which is this [01:17] if it's something you downloaded from packages, this should never happen [01:17] lawfulfalafel: yeah, which program? [01:17] Eversmann, were you able to get the unity interface and the classic gnome working at the same time? [01:17] it's eclim [01:17] it requires eclipse 3.6, but 10.10 only has 3.5 in the repo [01:18] I mean I'm downloading it to install manually right now, but I wanted to double check whether or not that's a stupid thing to do [01:18] there's decent odds there's a ppa with eclipse 3.6 out there [01:18] lawfulfalafel: well, download 3.6 ....nah, you are doing fine :) [01:19] nop pac1, just using classic right now [01:20] lawfulfalafel: other than installing manually, here's a custom repository with 3.6 - https://launchpad.net/~eclipse-team/+archive/debian-package [01:20] whats a good command-line dvd-ripper? [01:20] to lazy to open firefox to google ;D [01:21] <[clay]> using 10.10 - i've got an apple usb wired network adapter hooked into my revo - on startup it doesn't work, but if i unplug it and plug it in it works. any idea wtf? [01:21] it is possible that eclim might even be packaged too [01:21] Axlin: thank you, that's a very helpful link [01:21] [Amarok] [title: Cossack Dance from Mazeppa] [artist: Tchaikovsky] [album: 1812 Overture - Erich Kunzel - Cincinnati Pops DVD-A] [bitrate: >9000] [01:21] there's a ppa for eclipse plugins too [01:22] i have an old sblive sound card that is installed but i need to input the stack info but i am not sure what it should be it has multiiple outs but it is not surround sound [01:23] first off how can i tell exactly what card i got from command line i have two cards one onboard one add in [01:23] I did chmod -R 777 on a folder, but how do i make it so new folders or files that get made inside that folder also get 777 without me needing to go back and chmod them also? [01:24] joeoshawa, Look at sudo lspci -k [01:24] Axlin: how do I specify apt-get to install eclipse from that ppa? [01:24] thanks [01:24] I tried using synaptic to see if there was two versions of eclipse, but only the 10.10 3.5 version shows up [01:24] lawfulfalafel: after you add the repository, it should show up in your updates [01:25] lawfulfalafel: refresh your repositories then :) [01:25] lawfulfalafel: add it to software sources, have it update, and the PPA should appear in in the left of the software center [01:26] On my thin client server, I am getting this message when I try to apt-get update: w gpg error http extras.ubuntu.com maverick release. This isn't a problem on my SERVER, just the thin client image. The proposed fix I found on google didn't help. [01:26] Subsystem: Creative Labs CT4832 SBLive! [01:26] thanks [01:26] hey there, quick question, ii installed ubuntu 10.10 onto a usb using unetbootin and i would like to boot into another install thats currently on the harddrive using the grub2 stuff that was installed to the usb.anyone have any idea on how i can do this? [01:27] nevermind [01:27] uh I added the ppa key, updated and dist-upgraded, and I still don't see it in either synaptic or the software center [01:27] i know the card is prolly old as dirt but i want to get a 9.1 surround card later === patrickc is now known as PatrickC_Ubuntu [01:29] lawfulfalafel: try reloading from within synaptic. it should show up then === vinicius is now known as Guest90460 [01:29] lawfulfalafel, when that happens, it use to be a problem about the ppa not being for your ubuntu version [01:30] unignore parts [01:30] woops [01:31] okay, so i installed 11.04. booted up. nothing. just my desktop. used the shortcut to open a terminal and get in here.. [01:31] how would i find out what the stack should be for that it has a ton of outs [01:31] i've installed gnome3, but not sure how to get it running. [01:31] still blank. no panels. [01:31] I tried reloading within synaptic, but that didn't seem to change anything. The "Installed Version" and "Latest Version" are both 3.5.2. [01:31] i wonder if gnome is running but i just need to add a panel? wonder if i can add a panel from the command line. [01:31] I have a wacom device, problem is i cant seem to keep the same ID #. I dont use touch so i do xsetwacom set "ID" touch off and works great. I would like to make a script for it but when i reboot its a different ID #. why is this? Is always plugged into the same port so would seem it should be the same ID every reboot. [01:32] lawfulfalafel: you're using 10.10, right? [01:32] lawfulfalafel: do a ctrl-f in synaptic and search for eclipse [01:33] Axlin: yep, 10.10 [01:33] HouseMD: tried that, still getting the same results [01:33] is there a way to install a specific version with apt-get? [01:34] lawfulfalafel: how did you add the repository? i was able to add it and have it show up in synaptic with add-apt-repository ppa:eclipse-team/debian-package [01:34] is there a way to make it so new files added to a folder automatically get chmod 777? [01:34] lawfulfalafel: looks like the repository hasn't been added [01:34] shock flash for Chromium in Lubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing [01:34] Could somebody quickly try something on their system for me? It requires no rebooting, command line etc [01:35] Peddy: probably best to just say what it is. [01:35] Francis: yes, but that sounds like a bad idea. Why don't you tell us what you actually want to accomplish? [01:35] hi [01:35] ahahaha, I'm an idiot, I added the key but not the ppa [01:35] Good Evening! [01:36] thank you guys for very much for helping though [01:36] hi everyone, i'm new to ubuntu. i'm using it now from the trial installed on my usb [01:36] i really like it and want to install [01:36] I am running an FTP server, and i need it so when a user uploads a new file in there directory that file automatically gets 777 [01:36] tristan325, So install it! [01:36] tristan325 go for it [01:36] but i'm having trouble deciding on the install [01:36] lawfulfalafel: ah, hehe. for future reference, the add-apt-repository command will add both the key and the repository in one movement [01:36] thought i'd jump on and get some advice [01:36] how so tr === tony_ is now known as barfoo [01:36] do you guys have a moment? [01:36] OK, basically my desktop is visible for a second when I move the cursor after a screen lock (ctrl-alt-l) - before the unlock password is entered. Is anyone else experiencing this? [01:36] Francis: that's likely something you need to configure on the ftpd you are using [01:36] tristan325, What are you curious about? [01:36] tristan325: How are you having trouble? [01:37] tristan325, just one. === barfoo is now known as foobarbuz [01:37] im using vsftpd [01:37] pac1: lol [01:37] ok i'm at the part that asks "allocate drive space" [01:37] tristan325, sure... [01:37] install alongside os [01:37] i have windows 7 ultimate installed already [01:37] now here's the thing [01:37] tristan325: Do you want to install it instead of, or with your other operating system? [01:37] !enter [01:37] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:37] tristan325, Please type everything on one line [01:37] Francis: read about all the options involving "umask" at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html [01:37] ok hang on [01:38] tristan325, do you have an old disk drive hanging around? [01:38] i have 3 drives: 2 ssd striped Raid 0, and a 1TB for storage. i use my ssd Raid0 for OS (currently just windows7), they are 2x 50GB so total 100GB [01:39] i want to install ubuntu 64bit alongside win7 on my ssd [01:39] tristan325, then do that. [01:39] but the installation wizard is confusing [01:39] afte i select "install alongside" [01:39] ok [01:39] it asks me to drag the divider to allocate space [01:39] tristan, what does it say? [01:39] remember that part? [01:40] tristan325, yeah so. [01:40] tristan325: How much drive space do you want to allocate to ubuntu? [01:40] "allocate drive space by dragging the divider" [01:40] tristan325: How much drive space do you want to allocate to ubuntu? [01:40] how do i know what i want to do? [01:40] lol [01:40] jason i don't know [01:40] this is new to me [01:40] tristan325, How much space do you want for each OS? === diego is now known as Guest16344 [01:40] how much does it need? [01:40] Preciso de ajuda [01:40] tristan325: It needs 5 to run properly [01:40] tristan325. hang on. [01:40] tristan325, Ubuntu needs at the MOST 10Gb plus your personal files [01:40] see my confusion? [01:41] when u install windows7, it just installs on the drive u choose and uses what it uses [01:41] right? [01:41] tristan325: It needs 5GB for system files, and then what ever else you want [01:41] If you install Ubuntu by itself, it does that too ;P [01:41] right. [01:41] tristan325, yes. It just uses the entire drive. But you have to split the drive in 'half' [01:41] aguem pode me ajudar [01:41] when u say whatever else i want, how do i know how much more i want? [01:41] tristan325: give it 15GB [01:41] !pt Guest16344 [01:41] !pt | Guest16344 [01:41] Guest16344: 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. [01:41] Guest16344: English here, please. #ubuntu-br for Portuguese [01:42] on the left of the divider it says FILES, on the right it says UBUNTU [01:42] tristan325, FILES refers to all of your windows OS [01:42] here's what I do: 1 allocate about 10g for the install, but I have additional partitions: /home and /opt on an lvm partition. [01:42] tristan325: the right is ubuntu, the left is windows [01:42] anyway the problem is, it lets me choose from two drives, my raid0 ssdrives, or my 1TB [01:42] when i choose my raid0 [01:42] the divider goes away [01:42] and ubuntu appears to be using the whole thing [01:42] and says 100GB [01:43] tristan325, its trying to use the whole drive. [01:43] so i'm like oh no! [01:43] tristan325: thats because its gonna use the empty drive [01:43] tristan325, If you go into manual mode its clearer about what you're doing [01:43] it's not empty, my windows7 is on there === paco_the_taco is now known as taco_the_paco [01:43] when u say manual, u mean option3? [01:43] tristan325, you'll have to reduce the size of your windows partition. === Guest16344 is now known as Diego123 [01:43] tristan325, Sure? What does option3 say? [01:43] OK can everyone let me talk to him for 10 secs? THank you :) [01:44] tristan325: Its asking you how much space you need for yer crap on ubuntu, and how much crap for windows [01:44] sorry for the confusion, i really appreciate the help and i'm pretty excited about getting this installed [01:44] ok [01:44] tristan325, Linux rocks [01:44] tristan325: You need to select how much space you want ubuntu to have === tony_ is now known as foobarbuz [01:45] ok so lets pretend windows os stuff is taking up roughly 30GB of the 100GB on my raid0 ssd [01:45] tristan325: Typically, ubuntu should use 4-5GB for system files, depending if you update while install [01:45] help, aplay -l is saying "no soundcards found". What do I do? AC'97 [01:45] i don't want ubuntu to eat up ALL the rest [01:45] what if i need more for future windows stuff [01:45] tristan325: on your setup and familiarity with linux, I'd go for a 4th disk on the machine and give it all to ubuntu [01:45] tristan325, then don't give it that much [01:45] tristan325, You can always boot a live CD later and re-arrange again [01:45] tristan325: Give it 40GB for ubuntu, that should be more than enough [01:45] i'm not ready to buy a whole separate drive just for this, again, its new [01:46] tristan325: Give it 40GB for ubuntu, that should be more than enough [01:46] i like it, but i'm not going to spend money on a new drive till i'm more familiar with it [01:46] ok that helps [01:46] tristan, we strongly advise backing up anything you do not want to lose. [01:46] tristan325: Something to consider is that Ubuntu can access Windows files but not vice versa. What I do is keep most of my files on Windows and access them through Ubuntu [01:46] !manual > tristan325 [01:46] tristan325, please see my private message [01:46] okay earlier somebody suggested I load gnome to try and fix my audio issue. i'm trying to set the default audio device the system uses. [01:46] ok on preparing to install ubuntu i get all three check marks [01:46] eep [01:46] i'm getting frustrated. [01:46] tristan325, have a look at the manual I linked you to [01:46] tristan325, hurray [01:47] i hit forward, sorry takes forever [01:47] !manual [01:47] cause its off my usb [01:47] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[01:47] pac1: not really the problem friend. [01:47] i'm having a problem installing 10.10, it freezes on the "update-grub" step. [01:47] i'm having more specific issues than just how to play music [01:48] i'll figure it out [01:48] wow this doesnt make sense [01:48] there are 5 devices [01:49] tristan325: PM [01:49] |Long|, System -> Admin -> Software sources change the dropdown from 'LTS only' to normal releases. Then start the update manager. [01:49] <|Long|> edbian, thanks [01:49] |Long|, Did you get your nvidia issue fixeD? [01:49] infinitux, what's not the problem? [01:49] <|Long|> no i finally re-load the OS [01:50] |Long|, oh :( we could have fixed it!!! [01:50] |Long|, oh well. working again now right? [01:50] |Long|, You should have just installed 10.10 right away since you clean installed anyway [01:51] |Long|, ? [01:51] hi, this is kind of urgent... sorry to those who might have seen me post in #ubuntu-beginners [01:51] <|Long|> well,i didn't have cd before that why,,, [01:52] am I supposed to have alsamixer installed? [01:52] I'm copying a bunch of files via scp... now it seems to start over? [01:52] |Long|, mmmm, yeah. Better than nothing I suppose. Somtimes the upgrade procedure is a little quarky [01:52] IsmAvatar, yeah probably [01:52] |Long|: you could have used a flash drive [01:52] edbian_: apt-get reports "Unable to locate package alsamixer" [01:52] also, the order in which scp has copied the files seems random [01:52] IsmAvatar: alsa-utils, try that [01:53] infinitux, if you were referring to !manual, that was for my info. [01:53] kristian-aalborg: already installed and latest. I recently purged and reinstalled it. [01:53] IsmAvatar, It's not a package. It's part of alsa I believe. Can you run alsamixer? [01:54] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory === wangyang0123 is now known as firedfox [01:55] IsmAvatar: I was there a few hours ago, actually ;) [01:55] When I get the (initramfs) prompt, how can I tell it how to boot?

I'm not the most advanced linux user here. [01:56] IsmAvatar: let me see if I still have the windows open [01:58] IsmAvatar: there's something about it in the official wiki, have a look - also ubuntuforums [01:59] but I'm not good enough to reproduce - I just kept fiddling around until it worked [01:59] Are any of you guys someone who has went from Mandriva to Ubuntu? [01:59] mattimus, whats the question [02:00] hey. anyone using hplip? [02:00] is there any software out there that can utilize more than 2 cores [02:00] SkrappJaw, which printer [02:01] Im on ubuntu 10.10 with a 3050 [02:01] canon? SkrappJaw ?

When I'm on my terminal tab with irssi on it I wan't alt+4 to chhange windows in IRC and not switch tabs [02:01] SkrappJaw, what does linuxprinting.org say to use [02:01] I'm just curious in hearing thoughts on Mandriva and Ubuntu. I'm leaving Mandriva for sure, and right now I'm thinking of Mageia (Where most Mandriva developers went) or Ubuntu.

[02:19] I'm not sure about the terminology. [02:19] gaxar77, is it wireless or wired? [02:19] I have a linksys router. [02:19] Wireless. [02:19] gaxar77, the router doesn't matter [02:19] gaxar77, you may have to install the drivers after the install, but it's easy [02:19] gaxar77, they may be proprietary and so ubuntu can't directly include them [02:19] I don't know if I still have the disk, and also, I don't know if the disk installationwould even support linux. [02:20] or ubuntu.

[02:50] okuth0r, i had a similar problem and had to replace my video card, that's why I ask [02:51] yanick_: yea but I use daily build so I am at Chromium 12 [02:51] the box was built and run on xp fine, i had 10.04 installed and installed a driver for the usb wireless driver and it crashed it, so i messed it up and decided to install fress [02:51] fresh [02:52] So, I thought of an idea, it entails buiding the magizian supercomputer, strategically tunneling alot of traffic through it on a satallite connection, sniffing. [02:52] recrafting the packets to be passed by every node on the network to every other node on the nework in a loop. [02:52] This would cause the internet to stall, anll the dns servers to go offline, and most computers on the net to freeze up. [02:52] Basically the entire internet would have to be rebooted.. [02:52] My AI would be listening to the bootup, handshakes, and resolve all traffic configurations, detect all other ai and 'deal with' them.. [02:52] ...and basically take over the world of technology. [02:52] tunnel1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

What is the app? [03:09] you'll also have to figure out what the dependencies are, if any [03:09] and install them somehow [03:09] looks like there was a problem with perl and ncurses?

[03:16] Diamondcite: Since most of my questions here involve CLI, that's why I like irssi in terminator [03:16] This UI will take some getting used too... [03:16] (XChat.s UI) [03:16] Diamondcite: you do not need to use ft with irc [03:16] danileigh79: But aren't both clients just highlight and paste/ [03:16] My friend keeps getting disconnected from the wireless internet every few minutes.

[03:25] atlus: what are you trying to do? [03:26] tearing my hair out trying to figure out this tarball thing lol [03:26] is there a keystroke command to bring up a command? [03:26] I'm using 10.04 LTS. When using apt-get on the command line and doing an upgrade, how can I upgrade everything *except* firefox? [03:27] atlus: yeah, took me a while too [03:27] Firefishe: There should be something like a --ignore-hold, but I can't remember at the moment. [03:28] what is the difference between the command `sudo su` and `su` ? [03:28] su = super user [03:28] anybody know about nosefart? [03:28] sudo = super user do [03:28] Firefishe: you can pin applications in /etc/apt/ [03:28] <[clay]> su changes the user you're acting as for the session, sudo does it for just one command [03:29] Firefishe: see http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html [03:30] anyone have succeed installed fortinet ssl client? [03:30] I realize what they stand for. What I mean is–when I type `sudo su` i get "[sudo] password for username:" but when I do `su` i just get "Password" I am wondering if they do anything different. [03:31] ok, sersiously, audacious is starting to tick me off [03:31] 'su -' would log you in as root - however, the root password in ubuntu is unknown by default [03:32] soundfreely: there is no root user in ubuntu by default, sudo su - and it wont ask for a password [03:32] sacarlson, Diamondcite: I don't really want to pin, I just want a single-line flag for one time. [03:32] soundfreely: also root shells are not a good idea, especially for the novice linux user [03:32] I agree [03:33] Diamondcite: I need help with audacious, you able? [03:33] there is no need to use anything other than 'sudo [03:33] can anyone help with audacious? [03:34] Diamondcite: He's got 3 bars out of 4. then it just randomly drops to nothing [03:35] bbs smoke break [03:35] QUESTION: Rhythmbox keeps buffering music from last.fm but never plays whats wrong === derp is now known as derp|HOT_DATE [03:36] [Amarok] [title: Brain Damage] [artist: Eminem] [album: The Slim Shady LP] [bitrate: >9000] [03:36] sudo is fine, if your cool with an insecure system... or just really lazy [03:37] Can anyone point me at or tell me the ubuntu ssh color scheme for ls -al ? [03:37] Crash1hd: man ls [03:37] eamon, I tried that [03:38] it's in there [03:38] what are you talking about ssh? [03:38] eamon, I will look again, guess I was hoping for a color chart on the web somewhere [03:38] ignore the ssh part [03:39] its just how I am connecting [03:39] it doesn't change over ssh [03:39] Firefishe: I don't know of any other options, maybe if you uninstalled firefox and then just download the deb file for the firefox version you want after you upgrade then dpkg -i your deb file ? [03:39] Crash1hd: it's kind of self-explanatory [03:39] eamon, ok what I am trying to figure out is what green box is [03:40] look at blue thing ---> blue thing is a directory ---> Oh I guess directories must be blue [03:40] on a symlink folder [03:40] prolly permissions or smth [03:40] sacarlson: I think that might work. What I'm wanting to do is *not upgrade* to firefox 4 just yet. I'm waiting until the extensions catch up with the mainstream release. [03:40] Firefishe: why not update firefox¿ [03:41] ooh that [03:41] How do you connect to a remote ip address using ssh ? [03:41] most of them already are [03:41] xangua: I normally do, but I'm leaving my laptop with my wife while I'm going away for some training for three weeks. I want her to have a nice, easy experience. :) [03:41] eamon, its a symlink -> folder <-- this perticular folder is colored in Green box with blue text [03:41] Firefishe: Luckily, she's already been weaned away from *doze. [03:42] xangua: Luckily, she's already been weaned away from *doze. [03:42] that was weird [03:42] Crash1hd: the breen background ids to show it's a symlink and not just a folder [03:42] Firefishe: I have several version of firefox installed at the same time including custom compiled versions, there are many options [03:42] cause blue is folder === michael is now known as Guest49131 [03:42] eamon, ok hmm odd cause all the rest of the symlinks are just light blue pointing at a folder which is blue [03:43] Quantum_Ion: shh
[03:43] sacarlson: I guess I could compile 4 from source and install it in /opt or something. [03:43] ok, i dunno so. There are different types of symlinks, look up that [03:43] ssh** [03:44] sacarlson: What is your normal manner of install of the different versions. [03:44] eamon, ok :) thats why i was hoping that there was a chart somewhere on ubuntu.com or something [03:44] bikes, I am trying to ssh a friends computer who is not on the same network as me ? [03:45] Quantum_Ion: ssh user@ip.address [03:45] Firefishe: I may not do it normaly I just change the sybolic link in /usr/bin to point firefox to the version I want to run as default [03:45] eamon, let me try that [03:45] hey eamonnw hows it going?!?!?! [03:45] who can help with audacious [03:46] * l011Ol01 pulls it out of your port 23 and jams it in your port 22! [03:46] l011Ol01, stop that [03:46] danileigh79: me maybe [03:47] Firefishe: I run something called firewatir that run's firefox remotely from ruby that I have to have a custom build of firefox to operate [03:47] * l011Ol01 pulls it out of your port 22 and jams it in bazhag's port 25 [03:47] Quantum_Ion: if he is behind a router he has to make sure the service is forwarded to the public adress [03:47] eamon: I installed audacious 2.4.4, not working, trying to uninstall and CLI says not installed. also not showing up in software center as installed, but the program is and has been opened [03:47] eamon that definately won't work if they don't have access to router [03:47] sacarlson: Now that *is* specialized ;). [03:47] {ever been virtually raped by a cyberbot before}? [03:48] sacarlson: I've played around with ruby, rudimentarily. [03:48] sacarlson: and rails.

[03:50] i just had the ubuntu beta of 11.04 kernel panic (or something on me) i got a screenshot of a call stack, i can give my hardware configuration and everything too [03:50] danileigh79: ask the channel [03:50] !ask [03:50] 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. :-) [03:50] xangua: I did, nobody could help [03:50] is there a good place to post this? [03:50] danileigh79: asking to getting hel is never, ask a REAL question [03:51] I installed audacious 2.4.4, not working, trying to uninstall and CLI says not installed. also not showing up in software center as installed, but the program is and has been opened [03:51] Z_Man: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [03:51] Z_Man: Not sure if this is the right answer for 11.04 related questions and support please use #ubuntu+1 [03:51] k, thanks [03:52] danileigh79: different package name? [03:52] danileigh79: you can press up to cycle through your previous lines, saves a lot of time instead of writing things out again [03:52] use grep [03:52] works in terminal too danileigh79 [03:52] danileigh79: How is your audacious setup? What is your selected audio device? [03:52] Diamondcite: how do I find out? [03:53] danileigh79: Err a moment.. let me bring mine up. [03:53] danileigh79: what does dpkg -l | grep -i aud shows? [03:53] Diamondcite: I am in audacious-2.4.4 [03:53] I think my isp closes all my public ip address ports I cannot connect to port number 22 [03:53] nmap tells me the ports are closed [03:53] hey guys [03:54] this is a 2 part question- 1. ive downloaded Jedit and ive cut some source code and pasted it to it- but i need the line numbers up so it shows each statement on each line question 2: i need some quick steps through learning how to use the GCC compiler if someone has time to do this that would be great. it would be of great help to me. thanks [03:54] pksadiq: hang on, will pastebin it [03:54] I have dozens of folders with thousands of files in .gz, I want to ungzip it, what would be the cmd? for or gunzip|ls? [03:54] I have an external ip adress that looks something like this 71.123.213.434 and ssh wont let me connect to it [03:54] danileigh79: Preferences -> Audio -> Current Output Plugin: [ What does it say here? "PulseAudio Output plugin" ] ? [03:55] then I have an internal ip address that looks like 192.168.1.24 and ssh will let me connect to that [03:55] Diamondcite: OSS output plugin [03:55] hi people [03:55] danileigh79: Did you mess with the ubuntu sound system at all? If not, use PulseAudio or Alsa, not OSS [03:55] how do i get my secondary monitor to display full screen using adobe flash? [03:56] pksadiq: http://paste.ubuntu.com/588801/ [03:56] Quantum_Ion: Are you trying to get to your box remotely or locally? [03:56] afeijo: find . -name "*.gz" -exec gunzip -v {} \; [03:56] Diamondcite: didn't mess with anything, but will try to change it [03:56] Diamondcite, I was trying to ssh a friends computer on a public ip address [03:56] afeijo: execute that in the directory containing the files [03:56] din, its working :) thanks [03:57] afeijo: yw [03:57] ssh -p 22 harry@71.23.34.23.23 doesnt work for me [03:57] Quantum_Ion: Is there a router in the way? [03:57] Diamondcite: it only gives me three options, oss output, filewriter plugin, and null output plugin [03:57] where do you find the changes from kernel upgrade to the next one in ubuntu [03:57] danileigh79: and so what does dpkg -r audacity does? [03:57] Diamondcite, yeah I think he has a verizon router [03:57] danileigh79: Interesting.. hold on a moment :) [03:57] danileigh79: it I hope will remove audacity [03:58] Quantum_Ion: Please tell him to forward port 22 onto his local computer from the router [03:58] hmm nobody ever used GCC and jedit? === aaron is now known as Guest80575 === cgcardona_ is now known as cgcardona [03:58] pksadiq: it worked audacious removed [03:58] danileigh79: or remove what you need to remove [03:58] Diamondcite, That would require me to alter the settings of his verizon wireless router right ? [03:58] folorn: What was your question again? [03:59] Quantum_Ion: Yes, HE needs to make the change, not you? [03:59] pksadiq: nevermind, removed wrong pkg [03:59] okay ive saved some source code to play with more or less on Jedit the editor and ive gotten GCC for compileing but i dont know how to use them both. got time to show me? [03:59] is there any answer to that dilemna short of installing lightspark? [04:00] haveing a quick smoke daimondcite.. brb in a sec.. [04:00] Diamondcite, When you alter the settings on your router do you open up a web browser like Chrome or Firefox and type in 192.168.1.1 and it gives you a menu to configure your browser ? [04:00] folorn: Assuming it's a single source file, just typing "gcc sourcefile.c" will compile it into a.out [04:00] mrdeb, if you mean updates while running one unity version you might just look at /usr/share/doc/linux-generic/changelog.gz [04:00] Quantum_Ion: yes [04:00] jsjgruber_: no i mean a list of change from one kernle to hte next, when you update it [04:00] folorn: I think better to use vim or emacs as editors and you might find some fimple source codes at www.sadiq.tk at download section [04:00] Quantum_Ion: Either 192.168.1.1 or whatever happens to be your gateway in your route -n [04:01] mrdeb, so you mean from 2.6.35 to 2.6.38? [04:01] pksadiq: it's telling me to use --purge, how do i apply that during the dpkg -r? [04:01] jsjgruber_: more like .28 to .30 [04:01] say in 10.04 [04:02] danileigh79: dpkg --purge [04:02] mrdeb, just a sec [04:02] mrdeb: install the apt-listchanges package, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges and change to suit. [04:02] pksadiq: fml, audacious is still there... [04:02] mrdeb: if you already applied the update, go to packages.ubuntu.com, find the package, and click the changelog link [04:03] its hopeless isnt it [04:03] danileigh79: still there? try to open by typing the name in CLI, hope it would be removed completely [04:04] stray? [04:04] pksadiq: believe it or not, after all the removes and uninstalls, it still opened... [04:04] is there a general file compression channel? [04:04] danileigh79: Is audacious-plugins installed? [04:04] mrdeb, for the kernel I would go to git.kernel.org and scroll down to linus torvalds git production git repository. There is a log link there that will give you history. Use tags to go to the newest and go from there to the oldest. There will be thousands of changes from one kernel version to the next [04:05] danileigh79: so in terminal type which audacious [04:05] I really dont know how to open up port number 22 o my router [04:05] Diamondcite: Yes, I believe so [04:05] pksadiq: /usr/local/bin/audacious [04:06] danileigh79: so you installed using make install? [04:06] Does anyone here have a Verizon router ? [04:06] pksadiq: yes [04:06] danileigh79: Why do you have a custom install of audacious? [04:06] im back [04:06] is there an arabic version of this channel? [04:06] danileigh79: then go to the place where you compiled and so sudo make uninstall [04:06] stray? [04:06] Diamondcite: because I was trying to use 2.4.4 and software center only had 2.3 [04:06] !arabic | myrmidette [04:06] mrdeb, try this link: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=summary [04:06] myrmidette: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [04:06] you there stray? [04:06] <----e [04:07] thanks you guys so i type gcc then file .c and it should compile it. its just source code for a bot to kinda play with to give me a idea again about c and such. [04:07] folorn: you can also do gcc filename -o outputname [04:07] pksadiq: finally, thank you [04:07] folorn, gcc somefile.c - o somefile [04:08] danileigh79: I am not sure why you wanted 2.4.4 .. but make sure your plugins are compiled properly with alsa and/or pulse enabled. [04:08] folorn, then execute by running ./somefile [04:08] Diamondcite: how do i ensure that for the future? [04:08] Quantum_Ion: Did you see any of my PMs or is it being blocked? [04:08] stray is here :D [04:09] danileigh79: I assuming you did do a ./configure, read the output, there should be lines saying that it is looking for ALSA and Pulse Audio [04:09] danileigh79: never mind [04:09] hey stray [04:09] <-----e [04:09] ok where u at rich? [04:09] Diamondcite, okay I got you [04:09] ahh i see u now [04:09] but my public IP address is different then my internal one [04:09] love the name. lol [04:09] thats a name ive used for years on all kinds of forums [04:09] Quantum_Ion: That is FULLY expected.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:09] well im stray from straynet online.. u can google me :D [04:10] Diamondcite: If it's in software center, I'm not gonna compile again... [04:10] eu sou so brasil [04:10] i need to start my shell biz back up [04:10] Diamondcite, Do you have a Verizon router ? [04:10] lol [04:10] Quantum_Ion: I have a linux box for a router, so I'm taking blind stabs [04:10] i asked a question and nobody has an answer [04:10] I dont want to screw around too much with the settings before my ass gets hacked [04:10] danileigh79: don't think always that the latest is always the best [04:10] Quantum_Ion: If you haven't noticed I'm not on Verizon.. or even in the US.. [04:10] or maybe someone is holding back [04:11] pksadiq: I was trying to get a version that would play PSF1 & 2 video game sound files [04:11] Quantum_Ion: Is this FIOS or a wireless router? [04:11] Diamondcite, I see your public ip address though === Monarquista is now known as peregrinator_six [04:11] Diamondcite, some kind of DSL line [04:11] danileigh79: if you just need to play only did you try mplayer? [04:12] pksadiq: yes tried mplayer didn't work [04:12] Quantum_Ion: And I can see your IP address too.. [04:12] Is there a way to change the kernel grub uses by default? === administrator is now known as Guest97004 [04:12] the generic-pae kernel causes services to fail on start [04:12] Diamondcite, So basically I an trying to figure out if its possible to connect to someones Linux box by using the ip adresss and a username [04:12] pksadiq: now that i have vers 2.3 working again, I'm back to my original issue... psf, psf2, nsf, & gsf formats play, but no sound [04:13] Quantum_Ion, This person is not on the same network as I am [04:13] danileigh79: let me google [04:13] Quantum_Ion: Only if you have a port forwarded from that homes router to the person's computer [04:13] Quantum_Ion: Routers will eat all incoming connections otherwise [04:13] damn [04:13] is there any way to use skype on ubuntu? [04:13] I dont know how to do that shit [04:13] pksadiq: I compiled vers 2.4.4 because ubuntu forum said that would resolve my issue [04:14] Is there a way to change the kernel grub uses by default? the generic-pae kernel causes services to fail on start in 11.04, unless i drop to shell and sudo service gdm start. HOWEVER if i switch to the linux-generic kernel it boots fine [04:14] Diamondcite, I can run nmap on your ip adress and see what ports you have open [04:14] Quantum_Ion: That isn't MY computer, it's another persons [04:14] danileigh79: did you searched for the audac.. version at launchpad? search there, you might get some PPA with the latest version compiled there, google it [04:15] pksadiq: ppa? [04:15] Quantum_Ion: There are 4 computers behind that ip address. [04:15] danileigh79: let me too search for the link, wait [04:16] Diamondcite, ping probes are being blocked [04:16] pksadiq: i start to get sound for 1/10 of a second, then stops but file keeps playing [04:16] is there any way to use skype on ubuntu? [04:16] sixofour: yes [04:16] Quantum_Ion: Please don't tamper with my network, everything IS being logged [04:16] sixofour: I have it [04:16] sixofour: got it from ubuntu software center === gabo is now known as Guest9888 [04:17] Diamondcite, nmap is having trouble scanning it anyway [04:17] danileigh79, ubuntu software center? [04:17] sixofour: applications>Software Center [04:17] hi all,what does 'sin' in sin_family stand for? [04:18] Quantum_Ion: http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/VzMI424/125061.htm <---- as per this almost.. look into the firewall setting tab instead. === francisco is now known as Guest95621 [04:18] rww, there's nobody on that channel except chanserv [04:18] Diamondcite, You are from Ontario or Quebec ? [04:18] danileigh79: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/2.4.3-1 and select you build [04:18] does anyone know any other arabic linux support channels? === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey-home [04:19] danileigh79: or try to add that PPA to your synaptic, I don't know how to add that, but ask some on else [04:19] Quantum_Ion: This is about you, not about me :) [04:19] danileigh79, i don't see skype under internet, is it somewhere else? [04:19] pksadiq: not running natty, still on lucid [04:20] danileigh79: but still I hope it will work [04:20] sixofour: just search in search box [04:20] Diamondcite, You must have a good setup nmap said all your ports are filtered [04:21] danileigh79, 0 matching items for "skype" [04:21] sixofour: that's funny lemme look [04:21] i am on 9.10 not 10.10 [04:21] thats probably why [04:21] Quantum_Ion: Please stop trying or we will send the logs of your tries right back to Verizon -_-+ [04:21] sixofour: i dl'd it when i was still on 9.10 didn't get removed when i switched to 10.04 [04:22] sixofour: go to skype.com downlaod section and download there and also 9.10support isn't available now [04:22] anyone works on tablet PC? [04:22] van7hu: I don't recall, "socket in" maybe. This isn't the best channel for a programming question like yours. Try ##C [04:22] Quantum_Ion: You scans cause undue strain on a already weak connection. [04:22] Hi, here is my problem, first off i am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have drivers for the hardware including the wireless card, problem is the network manager or wicd wont accept my wep code [04:22] sixofour: system is messing up on me, gonna reboot, bb in 5-10 minutes [04:22] Diamondcite, No its not for maliscious purposes [04:22] well pksadiq 10.10 doesn't work, always gives "gave up waiting for root device" error [04:22] hanks Loshki [04:23] on startup [04:23] pksadiq: skype worked on my 9.10 when i dl'd it 4 months ago [04:23] Diamondcite, Anyway the scans are not particulary illegal [04:23] g [04:24] Quantum_Ion: But it is generally discouraged to scan networks other than your own unless permission is given. [04:24] is there a onscreen keyboard? [04:24] danileigh79: I mean this channel have stopped support for 9.10, not about skype [04:24] bbs, rebooting [04:24] Diamondcite, There is no rule book stating that [04:24] pksadiq: kk, bbs [04:24] Quantum_Ion: The DSL connection is bad enough, your scans can cause lag spikes which will interefere with my games in progress. [04:25] I need to set the /var/www directory such that it can be edited by any user.is there any possible way to do that. because I installed wordpress and I cannot install themes to it because of the permission problems.can anone help me please? [04:25] is there a onscreen keyboard? [04:25] pksadiq 10.10 always gives "gave up waiting for root device" error [04:25] chinthaka, chmod -R 755 /var/www ? [04:26] Guest95621: found this on google: http://www.combibo.net/articles/using_an_onscreen_keyboard_in_ubuntu/ [04:26] Diamondcite, Can you scan me ? [04:26] Diamondcite, Do you have Nmap installed ? [04:26] sixofour: while booting? did you try reinstalling? did you installed inside windows? [04:27] no, i did it all properly and yes i reinstalled several times [04:27] yes while booting [04:27] tried every option on the livecd [04:27] chinthaka, you need to change the parts that will be edited to be owned by the apache user. [04:27] Quantum_Ion: Your router should be blocking everything [04:27] 9.10 worked without any errors [04:27] its probably the new grub that is apparently in 10.10 [04:28] Diamondcite, I see a port open when I scanned myself [04:28] i was thinking of updating ubutnu from 9.10, but i am afraid it will just break again [04:28] I used nmap -PN [04:28] Quantum_Ion: 755 only gives read and execute to others [04:28] Quantum_Ion: I'm not going to scan all 65k ports, also different ports are open depending on internal or external scan [04:28] sixofour: better the next 11.04 will release within a month while 9.10 dies, upgrade to that [04:28] Quantum_Ion: http://onlinehelp.verizon.net/consumer/bin/pdf/VzMI424WRUserManualv4.pdf <--- look at page 20, that is what you need [04:29] Quantum_Ion: Err manual page 20, file page 23 [04:29] 人呢 [04:29] pksadiq, upgrade to 11.4 in a month? [04:29] !cn | yechunqiu [04:29] yechunqiu: 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 [04:29] Are you OK? [04:29] !11.04 | sixofour [04:29] sixofour: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [04:30] What are you doing? [04:30] It gave me errors.http://pastebin.com/CYQVK0i7 [04:30] okay, but i asked if you just told me to upgrade to 11.4 when its out, i didn't ask what is 11.4 :) [04:30] how can I do that? [04:30] Who are you [04:30] yechunqiu: This is a community ran support channel, please ask your question if you happen to have one related to Ubuntu. [04:30] http://pastebin.com/CYQVK0i7 [04:30] sixofour: make sure you have a backup you can restore from in case it all goes pear-shaped... [04:31] I don`t know [04:31] chinthaka, do it as root [04:31] i have my data on cds anyways [04:31] sixofour: I show you the date, thats all :D [04:31] chinthaka, figure out what needs to be changed, then do chown -R user.group /var/www [04:31] sudo -i chmod -R 755 /var/www [04:31] Hi, here is my problem, first off i am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have drivers for the hardware including the wireless card, problem is the network manager or wicd wont accept my wep code, i have the Ralink RT5390 chipset [04:31] Quantum_Ion, that is wrong [04:31] Quantum_Ion: Just sudo without the -i would do it [04:31] is there a program for ubuntu that will install java, adobe, etc, with one download? [04:32] !extras | J_K [04:32] J_K: extras.ubuntu.com is an external !repo for new software made available after the Ubuntu release. This repository is not part of the Ubuntu distribution and the software is completely unsupported by the Ubuntu team, but the original authors may offer some support. [04:32] J_K: I know ubuntu has a package known as flashplugin-installer [04:32] !restricted-extras | J_K [04:33] shout out to JesusFreak316 [04:33] !restricted-extras [04:33] Anyone know which is faster, X over SSH or XDMP? [04:33] J_K, The only command that comes close is sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:33] What is XDMP? [04:33] J_K: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:33] J_K: I don't think so. I usually run through one of the 'perfect desktop' series by hand: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx [04:33] chinthaka, chown -R apache.apache /var/www [04:34] this command should install openjdk java sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:34] chinthaka, please note that that is dangerous because it means the website can modify its self. [04:34] Diamondcite, It is a protocol for using X over a network conncetion. [04:34] Quantum_Ion, I do not believe that installs openjdk java [04:34] Hi, here is my problem, first off i am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have drivers for the hardware including the wireless card, problem is the network manager or wicd wont accept my wep code, i have the Ralink RT5390 chipset [04:35] smw, try it and see [04:35] ac7ss: I.. never heard of it until now.. but personally I use ssh -CY user@host (C = compress, Y= secure X11 forward [04:35] sudo apt-get install openjdk-jre [04:35] sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [04:35] pksadiq, i think i'll just upgrade to 10.4 and see what happens [04:35] ac7ss: dunno. I also hear that freenx is really fast (dunno which protocol they use)... [04:35] J_K: or you may also create a script that does everything [04:35] ruan, thats one but you also need the jdk sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk [04:36] thanks for helping me [04:36] Quantum_Ion: is he in need of jdk? [04:36] Quantum_Ion, Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.4.3), g++ (>= 4:4.4.3), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) [04:36] Loshki, is that a Win prog or Lin. [04:36] sixofour: I always prefer fresh install, because upgrades sometimes shows fatal errors, [04:36] Quantum_Ion, I don't see java listed there [04:36] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 on a Dell Inspiron 14. I've been trying render an image using SFML2 (OpenGL) and I get a GLXBadContext error. I think it is caused by not having the proper drivers. From what I understand on the error. I'm either trying to do something my hardware can't (unlikely) or I have the wrong drivers. Here's some relevant information: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/588819/ [04:36] Any idea why when I try to launch openoffice database nothing happens? The other openoffice products seem to work fine. [04:36] smw, I swear the openjdk is in build essential unless they removed it [04:37] pksadiq, frehs installs show fatal errors too apparently ;) [04:37] Quantum_Ion, it never was. I am pretty sure of that. [04:37] wikidjeff: launch it from a terminal [04:37] wikidjeff: it will log its errors [04:37] sixofour: may be not, atleast for me ;) [04:37] ac7ss: I believe it's cross platform: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [04:37] Diamondcite, I was just using 'ssh -X user@host' Thanks for the better solution. [04:37] wow 22 minutes to download 822 mb?..that should take like 7-10 minutes [04:38] I tried googling that error, but it doesn't seem to have a "fix". [04:38] ruan: I tried that, it just returns to the terminal without saying anything [04:38] wikidjeff: odd [04:38] ac7ss: Also compare performance with *and* without compression: it's not necessarily faster with compression... [04:38] Any way I used the java from oracle [04:38] taus try to search the exact error as such within double quotes in google [04:39] Loshki, FreeNX looks like it uses X over SSH (compressed.) Also looks like I would need to set up the host. [04:39] Loshki: ac7ss: Compression works nicer when the connections in between happen to be slow [04:39] wikidjeff: maybe it needs a reinstall. [04:39] Loshki: I meant like a 'starter pack' that comes with all programs like java, adobe, etc, to run games/youtube [04:39] Also, note that in that pastebin the information about my video is Intel HD Graphicbut and my lspci information and glxinfo are both different than that. [04:39] ruan: I just installed it for the first time [04:39] Diamondcite, Loshki : I doubt that compression will help then. (both computers have high speed connections.) [04:39] s/but/s/ [04:40] J_K: I don't know of one. It's a good idea though... [04:40] Any hints? [04:40] wikidjeff: well, im not really sure what the problem is then [04:40] Most of those java, flash etc don't use open software, so they probably won't make a starter pack type deal [04:40] ac7ss: So this is a lan setup? I can pull a 320x240 video over 802.11g over ssh X11 forwarding :) [04:41] ac7ss: Diamondcite: it's often hard to predict the effects of compression. If the data you're sending is already compressed (e.g. most media) then it can worsen performance as you try and recompress already compressed data... [04:41] I usually manually install flash from the adobe site [04:41] sixofour, then what is ubuntu restricted extras? [04:42] smw: sun java, adobe flash [04:42] Diamondcite, I am using my work computer to access my home computer via ssh. Just that some of the progs are slow to start. [04:42] that doesn't include flash or java as far as i know [04:42] ruan, I knew that. It was a rhetorical question ;-). [04:42] lol k [04:42] Diamondcite, I stream 1m/sec movies over this connection. [04:42] ac7ss: This might be silly, for programs with alot of buttons/widgets, it is actually faster to VNC/Teamviewer them [04:43] ruan, Most of those java, flash etc don't use open software, so they probably won't make a starter pack type dea [04:43] ruan, deal* [04:43] Loshki, I don't use compression for media, (That is done a different route, with VLC.) [04:43] adobe flashplayer for linux http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect [04:43] oh i see, derp [04:43] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | J_K,this might do that, I think [04:43] J_K,this: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 42 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 36 kB [04:43] ac7ss: My netbook can't take such high bitrates gracefully, so I have no such need. [04:43] ac7ss: have you tried running them on a vncserver/vncviewer setup instead? [04:44] Quantum_Ion, better off using the deb from ubuntu then anything from adobe [04:44] Diamondcite, This is with my netbook. :) (I like my movies without artifacts.) I have had trouble getting VNC running correctly. [04:44] smw, Did you see the Ubuntu Linux deb here scroll down http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect [04:45] Quantum_Ion, and? I would rather get from the ubuntu repo where it will be updated [04:45] ac7ss: Consider x11vnc, it's not TOO stable, but it says the desktop as is [04:45] there was an APT link wasn't there? [04:45] * ac7ss can run X on his maemo tablet. Kinda cool. [04:45] Hi, here is my problem, first off i am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have drivers for the hardware including the wireless card, problem is the network manager or wicd wont accept my wep code, i have the Ralink RT5390 chipset [04:45] Diamondcite, I will look into that... [04:45] ac7ss: I can play 1280x720 h264 videos on the N270 netbook [04:46] *sigh* [04:46] smw: the APT link [04:46] astley, I have never been able to get network-manager to accept my wep passphrase. Only the hex key works for some reason. [04:46] ruan, really? [04:46] smw: there's an apt link there [04:46] how do i get hex smw [04:46] ruan, cool [04:47] ruan: I think the problem was that I hadn't restarted ooffice since installing the database component [04:47] wikidjeff: probably [04:47] astley, no idea. on my verizon router. I go into the config and change the key from ascii to hex and it translates it for me. [04:48] can someone help me? I restarted my xubuntu system and both bars, top and bottom, disappeared. [04:48] andruha, lol that happens with free software [04:48] I went to settings and clicked panel, but nothing happens [04:48] andruha, maybe if you reboot again fsck will clear it out [04:49] i restarted 2 times already [04:50] Quantum_Ion, are you a troll? I have not seen you give one bit of helpful advice... [04:50] smw, No I am Warlock [04:50] smw, I have tigers blood running though my veins [04:51] andruha, what I would do is move the folder that configures xfce and then restart. [04:51] andruha, are you comfortable with the cli at all? [04:51] smw, what folder is that? (im new to linux) [04:52] nuh, i'm new to linux [04:52] andruha, probably .xfce [04:52] !resetpanel | andruha [04:52] andruha: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:52] andruha, I don't use xubuntu. I suggest you use ubuntu if you are new to linux [04:52] pksadiq, xubuntu, not ubuntu [04:53] smw: wow, notice latter === modok is now known as sirmodok [04:53] ^ce^ced [04:53] andruha: be sure to also ask on #xubuntu ... [04:54] andruha, http://ooboontoo.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-restore-xubuntu-desktop-panel.html [04:54] Loshki, best advice [04:54] Diamondcite: My ubuntu won't boot... I'm on freenode webchat [04:54] andruha, type /join #xubuntu [04:55] danileigh79: ... how did that happen? [04:55] thanks for helping guys, I think i found something on a forum... trying it now [04:55] andruha, did you read the link I posted? [04:55] Diamondcite: not sure, left my comp rebooting while i went outside for a cig [04:55] yes, reading it now [04:56] danileigh79: So what happens now? Where does it get stuck? [04:56] I need a drink [04:56] Diamondcite: during boot, i hit esc to show processes, stuck at battery check [04:56] * soreau tosses Quantum_Ion a cold one === bob__ is now known as bobf_cincinnati [04:57] soreau, lol === bobf_cincinnati is now known as burlington_bob [04:57] danileigh79: Remove the battery and try again? [04:57] Diamondcite: first thing i did... fml, this comp REALLY doesn't want me using linux [04:59] danileigh79: I've seen a laptop that won't boot unless it has a Lucid (9.10) Kernel [05:00] Diamondcite: have been using lucid 10.04 for almost 5 weeks, no problems until tonight [05:00] hello, i have a question regarding Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition. For some reason, my netbook will boot Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition, but not the netbook edition. I've also tried booting off USB, but Acer's BIOS is too retarded to boot from it. So I was left with the desktop edition. Anyone know how I could get my trackpad and wireless to work in the desktop edition? [05:00] Hi, does anyone know how to fix the shutdown boot screen resolution in 10.10? [05:01] danileigh79: Please try someone else I don't have any idea as to what can be your issue at the moment. [05:01] hey guys, what does it mean when linux won't boot, but instead goes to BusyBox/initramfs [05:01] Diamondcite: thank you, and sorry for all the questions, I will attempt a reboot later [05:02] IsmAvatar2, usually means it can't find the kernel [05:02] IsmAvatar2: try holding down shift at boot [05:02] and choose another kernel or recovery mode [05:02] IsmAvatar2, Usually it means the kernel can't handle something (very badly misconfigured or bad hardware) or there is a missing kernel. [05:03] ruan: what would that do? [05:03] Good Morning. [05:03] hey guys - has anybody here come across a script to serve a git repo onto Gobby infinoted server? [05:03] IsmAvatar2: shift a boot will show you boot options [05:03] IsmAvatar2: all kernels you've installed [05:03] Shift shows the grub boot menu [05:03] I have one pdf form. I want to now edit it and fill up that form. who to do it? is there any pdf editor? or any software which will convert this pdf to spreadsheet or writer format? [05:03] help [05:04] ruan and uabn93: I already have the grub boot menu visible, since it's dual booting windows [05:04] IsmAvatar2: ah ok [05:04] Abhijit, think open office or libre office will both handle that [05:04] DaPenguin and edbian_: I figured as much. This is the third time it's happened. The other two times I reinstalled Linux and/or replaced the hard drive. I'm wondering if some other piece of hardware is going bad. [05:05] DaPenguin, okay will try that [05:05] IsmAvatar2, press shift + page up on the busybox screen and see if you can find any errors [05:05] IsmAvatar2: you can do tests on most hardware [05:05] IsmAvatar2, short of your sata controller can't think of anything that might be going out === Dad is now known as Guest83742 [05:06] memtest for ram, smart test for hard drives [05:06] DaPenguin, yes libreoffice is working. thank you. === cafuego_ is now known as cafuego [05:07] ruan and DaPenguin: What if I said that Windows ran relatively fine on the machine? [05:07] * rcmaehl now has ubuntu desktop, ubuntu netbook, kubuntu desktop, kubuntu netbook, edubuntu desktop, edubuntu desktop kde, xubuntu desktop, lubuntu desktop, edubuntu live, ubuntu minimal on his pc. [05:07] O.o [05:08] IsmAvatar2: odd. does recovery mode work? [05:08] how can i clear my cache? [05:08] recovery mode + startx [05:08] rcmaehl: but still don't have, finnix archlinx assembly-linux, minix etc, which are the real linux [05:08] computer seems to be running sluggish [05:08] hey can anyone help me out with an apache question... the httpd room is pretty quiet [05:09] pksadiq: what's the package names? I'll install them [05:09] ruan: no. Same error [05:09] rcmaehl: sorruy, they are not packages, they are distros [05:09] or, problem [05:09] IsmAvatar2: any other kernels installed? [05:09] wow [05:09] disk read error [05:09] ^uy^u [05:09] the last 3 weeks with my computer have just been a comedy of errors [05:09] ruan: yes, an older kernel with the same problem, too, I believe. [05:09] pksadiq: I installed ubuntu-netbook via a package [05:09] ^Hy [05:10] IsmAvatar2: hmm. odd [05:10] I know it wasn't a kernel install, because the latest was working fine, and then suddenly died. [05:10] is there a cmd for getting flash drives to work? [05:10] grannyof8: mount? [05:10] ya [05:11] i cant get my flash drives to work [05:11] grannyof8: first get the device name with sudo fdisk -l [05:11] grannyof8: sudo mount /dev/ [05:11] grannyof8: then do: sudo mount ^ [05:11] ^mount point [05:12] ruan: yeah, right [05:12] DaPenguin: if my SATA controller were going, would the Windows boot still work? [05:12] what am I missing that I can install via the repos? [05:13] (or anyone, for that matter) [05:13] how you run something after ya compiled it ? [05:13] folorn: run the binaries from the compiled package? [05:13] that is, after it's compiled _properly_ [05:13] IsmAvatar2, probably not, probably an issue with the way grub is seeing the drives then [05:14] folorn: might do ./filename [05:14] no i wrote a program and i compiled it and now i wanna try to run it if possible [05:14] tried pksaiq wont work :( [05:14] folorn: what language is this compiled program written in? [05:14] folorn: what does it say? [05:14] folorn, ./a.out [05:14] DaPenguin: Considering this has happened before, and on different hard drives and different installs, I'm more inclined to think it's a hardware issue. [05:14] folorn, or whatever the program is called. [05:14] but I can't for the life of me figure out why Windows is still running, lol [05:14] folorn, just prefix it with ./ [05:15] !compile [05:15] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:15] IsmAvatar2, windows addresses hw differently than linux does [05:15] ruan: thats complicated, he is just learning gcc [05:15] pksadiq, wow, it takes 2 hours just to do the installing part [05:15] c okay i went -cut all my code out open source -program is a irc bot. then pasted reviewed it then went- gcc skeletonbot.c or gcc -c then it gave me a skeletonbot.o and from there im assumeing its compiled etc. now i wanna try to run it. :( [05:15] !supybot [05:15] IsmAvatar2, it could be a bios setting as well [05:15] how does upgrading take longer than installing fresh [05:15] DaPenguin: that's an idea. [05:15] sixofour: good, might be it takes more time if errors [05:16] good? [05:16] okay, after running emerald --replace with a theme, how long should it take before it is done? Because my terminal has been running that command for a few hours now [05:16] im even in root and it still says permission denied [05:16] sixofour: !good [05:16] folorn: mark as executable [05:16] folorn, the manpage for the program chmod has the answer to your question [05:16] folorn: chmod +x file [05:16] Kamakazi: it should be immediate [05:16] hmmm, something must be wrong then [05:16] like it has already replaced some of the theme stuff, some of the task bars in windows, but not everything [05:17] Kamakazi: open emerald-theme-manager [05:17] ruan, don't just tell him what to do without explaining what that does [05:17] Kamakazi: make sure the theme is actually in there [05:17] folorn: would you mind a private chat? [05:17] folorn: Do: gcc skeletonbot.c, then the result will be in ./a.out === bot_ is now known as Guest76563 [05:17] ahh i dont that chmod dealy and now my files come up a new purrty color ?? im assumeing it worked then? [05:17] ya sure pksadiq pm me [05:17] Nisstyre: chmod +x marks as executable... how more informative could i get? [05:17] Kamakazi: also open ccsm and click on the window decoaration plugin to get into it's settings and in the"Command" field replace what is there with emerald --replace [05:18] ... [05:18] Kamakazi: ah emerald will ONLY decorate the window title bar [05:18] Kamakazi: well the entire window frame anyway [05:18] ruan, he should read the man page because it explains how files in linux work :\ [05:18] Nisstyre: right... [05:18] Nisstyre: he was looking for a quick solution though [05:19] Kamakazi: emerald is strictly only a window decroator it will not theme the gnome panel..or the menu or window interior colours [05:19] oh [05:19] DaPenguin, ruan: thanks for the help. I'm going to try some tests, play with the bios some, and maybe see if some pieces of hardware can't be replaced. Before I go, question - do you think it'd be a good idea to replace the mobo, or do you think it's fine/ [05:19] IsmAvatar2: depends what the problem is [05:19] odio: Did not know that, so what do I need to theme all of gnome? [05:19] odio: compiz themes? [05:19] IsmAvatar2: i had to replace a mobo after a humidity attack [05:20] Kamakazi: the other stuff,, menu , window interior colors are theme by a gtk2 theme which can be changed under /system/preferences/appearance [05:20] ruan, yeah, I'm just saying, it would be useful to understand that file under unix aren't differentiated by their extensions like in windows [05:20] test [05:20] but w/e [05:20] Would anyone happen to have an install script for Zend Server? [05:21] Kamakazi: use both emerald for window decorations and a gtk2 theme to complete a theme look,,, sometimes on gnome-look.org if you search for suits you will get both the emerald and gtk2 themes included in the package [05:21] my audio system is screwed! [05:22] dang it whoever told me to chmod something: i have a little oops i think it wont excute the binary file ?? [05:22] infinitux: is the card recognized? [05:22] yeah. [05:22] jeffreyf: can't you get it from their free trial? [05:22] both cards work, but for some reason it wants to play from the onboard one. [05:22] infinitux: and in terminal alsamixer are any of the sliders turned down or muted? [05:22] folorn: I repeat, Do gcc skeletonbot.c, then the result will be in ./a.out [05:22] odio: checked that too. [05:22] How do I remove a wallpaper from the "wallpaper slideshow"? [05:22] the audio works but only through the onboard card. [05:22] infinitux: ah I see,, mm you might have to change that in the bios [05:22] uh, really? [05:23] in the bios? [05:23] folorn, you have to throw the leading ./ before the program name, linux doesn't put the current dir in the path [05:23] Loshki....Thanks [05:23] infinitux, just disable onboard audio [05:23] danielcg25: under /usr/share/backgrounds the slideshow script is there along with the images included,, you would have to either remove one of the images or replace it with the same name or edit thescript [05:23] 1min loshki ill try that [05:23] odio: Sweet, I think I know what i am doing now, going to give it a shot [05:24] Loshki....actually, I just re-read your response...I was looking for a script to get it, compile it, add mysql and have little or no interaction from me [05:24] Kamakazi: cool [05:24] i'll find that in my bios? [05:24] i'll go check. [05:24] Thanks, odio [05:24] loshki it gives me 2 deals i think they are errors or something? [05:24] bbiaf [05:24] tried dapenguin gives me a error me thinks.. :( [05:25] jeffreyf: well, keep asking then. You can repeat your query every 15 minutes without people getting on your case... [05:25] I have "floppy0" Under the Places menu on the top-panel [05:25] That device is a USBfloppy drive, how to I get rid of it? It is nolonger connected to my system [05:26] folorn: since it compiled with gcc -c, I bet the errors are link-time. Please paste them to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 [05:26] folorn, what error? [05:26] Loshki: I will or may just keep searching. SOMEONE had to have done it at some point [05:26] danielcg25: may be in your bios there will be an option to disable floppy drive [05:26] jeffreyf: best of luck... [05:27] No, It's a USB drive. I unplugged it now it won't go out of my Places menu [05:27] danielcg25, It remembers until the next boot. [05:27] disable floppy seek [05:27] danielcg25, In case you plug it in again [05:27] I have re-booted several times since I removed it [05:28] danielcg25: what happens if you plug in the usb drive again? [05:28] danielcg25, is it listed in df -h ? [05:28] danielcg25: this time, unmounting it when you remove it [05:28] Ok [05:28] ok, i got my panels back by typing xfce4-panel, but if I quit terminal, they disappear, what do i do?

Why is this not possible under Ubuntu? [05:36] Lewoco: well let me tell you of several experiences with intel + nvidia drivers onboard,, one instance it worked but the entire desktop was upside down and reversed [05:36] Lewoco: I have seen this happen several times on systems that have both intel and nvidia [05:37] 5 [05:37] you get that vpaste loshki [05:37] Lewoco: if there is a way to use both,, I am unaware of it [05:38] http://www.vpaste.net/DCEPD [05:38] hello,where EXIT_SUCCESS is defined?

[05:49] HP elitebook 6930p [05:49] i have ubuntu 10.10 and when i run ./configure on bluez it says dbus library required [05:49] statsko: I have very very limited knowledge on that, but please stick around , someone will assist , oh ok. [05:50] but under installed applications there is a dbus installed and i dont get it [05:50] atlus: something like: sudo apt-get install libdbus-dev or something similar might help [05:50] I have done some googling and have not found any kind of clarity regarding the problem. [05:50] no package [05:50] atlus: most errors like that during ./configure indicate a needed development library. [05:51] atlus: yes you need a dbus development package(s) [05:51] yeah im not sure how to find it [05:51] i dont see the "enable broadband" in the network menu when i clicking right mouse button [05:51] atlus...let me check\ [05:51] thank you [05:51] atlus: libdbus-1-3 [05:51] in particular, the question I have is: should the raid partitions (which are the whole disk), be ext4 before I put them into the raid assembly?

[06:23] theos: select a char encoding, preferably unicode [06:23] dunno its for my buddy [06:23] ruan, haha i did but nothing works [06:24] ill get him to run lspci and get back [06:24] theos: what if you create a 200kb file? [06:24] brett__ i dont recommend upgrading from a recent release [06:24] http://magizian.dyndns.org:20080 [06:24] hello everyone. i just reinstalled natty on this machine and i'm having some issues with unity. a 'home' icon appeared on it and on the desktop and i cant delete them [06:24] brett: trackpad preference to assimilate what action [06:24] UBuxuBU: Well we cant support stuff you dont even know what you are asking about [06:24] ruan, error: Could not open the file using the Unicode (UTF-32) character encoding. [06:24] neither on the desktop nor on unity itself [06:24] theos: hmm [06:24] has anyone experienced this? beta 1 here on x86 [06:25] ljsoftnet, yeah, i was a bit paranoid about doing so also, but I wanted to try out touche because i wanted to use multi touch gestures... i'm thinking of reinstalling 10.04, would you recommend? [06:25] !natty [06:25] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems.

[06:25] brett__ for me i recommend it [06:26] ruan: sorry about that [06:26] UBuxuBU: I believe it can with the default open radeon driver. It depends on what card it is though. If its an HD series, you want to use at least natty most likely, since it has the latest driver bits [06:26] ljsoftnet, is there a way to roll back to a previous dist or do I need to format and reinstall? [06:26] UBuxuBU: older radeon cards should already work fine [06:27] brett__ i dont think there is, did you format the whole hard disk?

[06:29] ljsoftnet, okay, then I know what my plans are for tomorrow :) so much for experimenting! [06:29] Guest91436: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? [06:29] ruan: Just tried no go.

[07:02] then a menu came up [07:02] guest9 but u can also just lower the laptop lid [07:03] yeah but what did you type because i dont see the power button in the menu that comes up [07:03] guest992 i didnt type anything i just scrolled down till i found it [07:03] why is it gone?

[07:53] the silly thing is it looks worse than it is because they're getting automatically unquietened repeatedly [07:53] whats goin on [07:54] Lorsa, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gdesklets [07:54] how can i stop that [07:54] UBuxuBU: It's stopped now [07:54] * UBuxuBU nods... [07:54] someone pasted a page of text by accident or on purpose [07:54] sheez [07:55] HyperShock: maybe you might should consider shifting to a lighter weight desktop? [07:55] hello, i have a question. I am using an Acer Aspire D250, and I cannot get the wireless drivers to work. I need some help, because its frustrating me. It sees the connection, but it won't connect. [07:55] odio - ur link contain 0.36.1 version. mine 0.36.3 :) [07:55] iTails, ru also running windows? [07:56] !wireless [07:56] Lorsa, that is lucid's version isnt that what you wanted? [07:56] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:56] UBuxuBU: no, this is my other laptop. the netbook i had to install some form of linux on because it will not reinstall windows to save my life [07:56] iTails, i hate that when that happens === XS3 is now known as fish_sticks [07:57] odin, no :) I want any deb just has to be 0.36.3. cause 0.36.1 is broken for a long time [07:57] thanks Starminn, i will try this. [07:57] odin, I found 1 for lucid but can't figure out how to download it from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/gdesklets/0.36-3 [08:00] I'm pretty sure gdesklets was discontinued due to lack of upstream activity [08:00] odio, sorry for odiN :) [08:00] genii-around, actually it's still alive and developing :) lucky for me [08:01] Lorsa, why don't you install from source? [08:01] lorsa, how do you add one to your desktop? [08:01] HyperShock, <-- noob. allready downloaded tar and learning about it [08:03] hi guys, can i use atd daemon, for scheduling some commands every 30min ? [08:03] how do you add a desklet? i have it installed but when i click it just says starting gdesklets for a few seconds then disappears [08:04] jd87, old one version in 10.10 doesn't work [08:04] jd87, that's why I'm looking for new one :) [08:04] lorsa, thank you! [08:05] XATRIX: you can, but I think crontab is better for recurring jobs... [08:05] it must be configured correctly.itails have u tried slipstreaming a sata driver [08:06] ... [08:06] Loshki: why so ? [08:06] okay? [08:06] hope i'm voiced now [08:07] ok may i remove atd from my system, and install cron instead of atd ? [08:07] Hello :) [08:07] Lorsa, is gdesklets still being updated? [08:07] Okay. I remember when bandwidth overage fees were 7¢/megabyte. How much would they be now? [08:07] TheNumb, hello :-) [08:07] Hi all, I want to install a fresh version of ubuntu over my existing install, without burning a CD or USB. For this I want to add the necessary entries to grub but I'm not familiar with grub2. I looked at the guide but it's not really helpful re. this. Can someone please paste a custom other_os entry, so modify it to boot the setup? Thanks. [08:08] */so I can/ [08:08] XATRIX: does atd allow you to schedule recurring jobs? [08:08] odio, only on author's site. not in repos :( [08:08] Olleh? [08:08] Is there anybody else experiencing problems with nvidia 270.xx drivers? [08:08] Lorsa, let me check ,, which version do you want>? [08:08] odio, http://gdesklets.de/ [08:08] nope, im on the 260 drivers [08:09] Loshki: i have no idea... that's why i asking you here [08:09] i never used it [08:09] odio, gdesklets-0.36.3 [08:09] playing a game right now [08:09] So does anyone have any idea what overage fees would be per MB nowadays for going past a bandwidth limit while hosting a server/site? [08:09] depends on the host i think [08:09] Okay, your preferred host then? (Or, on average.) [08:09] the double your bandwidth for 5 bucks a onth [08:10] usually [08:10] shared hosting or dedicated? [08:10] Lorsa, ok on the link at the far right click the "get desklets" [08:10] UBuxuBU: What's the rate for the single? [08:10] I can't get Unity to work, because of the nvidia drivers :( [08:10] Lorsa, rather the desklets tar.gz [08:10] ThrewOutTheWs, i dunno [08:10] TheNumb: 11.04 support in #ubuntu+1 [08:10] Starminn: thanks ;-) [08:11] XATRIX: well, I don't think atd makes it easy to schedule recurring jobs, so crontab is preferable. Feel free to get a second opinion... [08:11] natty has no sound [08:11] :'( i pressed alt f and now my macslow clock is minimized. how to get it back? [08:11] :'( [08:11] help [08:11] have you tried pressing it again? [08:11] odio, I've already downloaded gdesklets-0.36.3.tar.bz2 :) [08:11] ruan, pressing what? [08:11] Abhijit: alt f [08:11] MaTTiMuS: prolly dedicated [08:11] odio, and sudo apt-get install build-essential as well :) [08:12] XATRIX: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-autotasks-at-batch.html [08:12] ruan, no that dont work. [08:12] Loshki: ok, so, can i safely remove atd from my system ? [08:12] Lorsa, have you extracted that archive yet in shell? [08:12] Oh, I have shared hosting at the moment. My host has been really good, just isn't popular which is good to me. [08:12] Abhijit: restart the process [08:12] HyperShock, yep [08:13] XATRIX: in theory, but I've never tried it, so no guarantees...

[08:21] Wraithan, unetbootin [08:21] I tried DD'ing the iso to the flash drive [08:21] vineesh, i believe what you are looking for is in /etc/grub.d/ [08:22] * quiescens pats ubottu [08:22] Abhijit: bah, really, ubuntu still makes it a pain in the ass? [08:22] vineesh, start by reading the README [08:22] google does calculations :P [08:22] Abhijit: 'without burning a cd or usb' [08:22] Wraithan, unetbootin is not pain its gui easy way [08:22] devilirium, that for vineesh i am talking to Wraithan [08:22] Starminn: haha, thanks :P knew it was something like that [08:22] but with a few more keystrokes than a bot would, ruan [08:23] ahh okay :) [08:23] Wraithan: In Ubuntu's defense, in Ubuntu all you have to do is System->Administration->Startup Disk Creator. So Ubuntu actually makes it quite easy. [08:24] HyperShock: Yep but it doesn't say in plain english like how to boot a kernel. In the old grub it was just a simple kernel /path/to/kernel [08:24] Starminn: Sure, and there is a windows app for it too, my distro an others I have used have nice img or dual iso/img files that can be directly used without any extra software [08:24] Wraithan: if you want a really simple way to make a bootable usb from most linux iso's, you should check out unetbootin [08:24] let answer="$calc1 $operation $calc2"; echo $answer [08:25] ruan ThrewOutTheWs: I feel like this is off-topic? (#ubuntu-offtopic) [08:25] Is there a way to rig the volume up hotkey raise the volume to 150% as the sound preferences allows? the volume down hotkey affects this normally when above 100% to 150%, but the volume up hotkey only goes up to 100% [08:25] Wraithan: what do you mean by directly used? [08:26] gaelfx: you can directly `dd` them to the flash drive, which is a util that comes with every distro [08:26] Wraithan: gotcha [08:27] guys, how to disable atd daemon? it is not listed in services/runlevels... but it still started in processes [08:28] Is there a way to rig the volume up hotkey raise the volume to 150% as the sound preferences allows? the volume down hotkey affects this normally when above 100% to 150%, but the volume up hotkey only goes up to 100% [08:30] are nvidia drivers (260.19.44 ) compatible with 11.04 beta1? [08:31] designgears: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 questions. [08:31] sorry, thanks :) [08:32] I seem to remember reading somewhere that there was a known issue with them hanging the system on boot though, fwiw === mike is now known as Guest66177 [08:34] I have a dual boot setup Vista/Mav Meerkat 10.10 fully updated I installed along side of vista with wubi now that all is well Mav Meerkat needs more space can I take some from the vista side and add it to Mav Meerkat [08:35] XATRIX: it's an 'upstart' job, so it's configured by /etc/init/atd.conf. I forget the details... [08:35] heh just found out that atd is not synonymous with cron link here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399342 === mike_ is now known as Guest89466 [08:35] speedy: if you do decide to do that, I would suggest using the Vista partitioner, as Windows really doesn't like it when you use other partitioners [08:35] I've swapped hw and booted to CLI from edited GRUB2 menu. Ran "startx" but got "fatal server error: no screens found. xinit: unable to connect to Xserver." What do I do? [08:36] speedy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=830103 [08:36] ok thanks for the help [08:37] fds2: try sudo Xorg -configure [08:37] hi friends,i have bought a new card reader,it is not detected when i insert the card reader,but it is showing in the lsusb,what to do [08:37] varun: is there a card in it? [08:38] varun have you searched google for Ubuntu and the id from the lsusb? [08:38] gaelfx: dont really run much vista but Vista Partitoner is by default of vista? [08:38] yes,there is a card in it [08:38] Loshki: yeah, is possible to disable it ? [08:38] http://pastebin.com/n9rAF8fs [08:39] and how to disable ipv6 completely in system ? [08:39] gaelfx: I either in Ubuntu / Win7 [08:39] http://pastebin.com/n9rAF8fs Here is the output of lsusb ,supertop card reader is the name [08:39] HyperShock, :what to search [08:39] speedy: not entirely sure what you mean, but iirc there is a partition application in Vista that you can use to shrink or grow your Vista partitions, and you want to shrink it, so that would probably be the safest route [08:39] `pksadiq: "failed to load NVIDA module." NVIDIA card is not currently plugged in, using onboard video. What now? [08:40] XATRIX: easier to just do: sudo mv /usr/sbin/atd /usr/sbin/atd.orig, then reboot... [08:40] speedy: there is a partition editor called GParted you can use in Ubuntu, but Windows partitions don't always like it [08:40] Loshki: copy [08:40] thnk [08:40] varun: if you're using an SDHC card in a reader that is not rated for SDHC, then that could be the problem [08:41] fds2: can you do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?

[08:42] pksadiq: ran that, gave neither an error or confirm [08:42] speedy: er, sorry not sure where it is, but if you search in Vista for partition (from the Start Menu), you should find it, if indeed it does exist [08:42] Hi. Do you know if load balancing works in Ubuntu. I have a 3g modem and DSL connection and want using them both simultaneously [08:42] fds2: now try sudo startx & [08:42] ?

[08:43] Samuel: you mean always, or just when it's not active? [08:44] gaelfx, just when playing videos, perhaps there is a player that does hide the mouse? [08:44] gaelfx: thanks for the help ok will look ok don't use much vista but machine was given to me so I dual booted it wirh Mav Meerkat I mainly use Win7/Ubuntu [08:44] Anybody? load balancing. Does anybody face with it? [08:45] Besogon: that is not load balancing, that is called bondage and yes its working [08:45] gaelfx, when not active would do fine to, can it be done? [08:45] Samuel: most of them do, but if the mouse moves at all (for example, an overactive subwoofer nudges it), it might show up again [08:45] samuel: do "sudo apt-get install unclutter", this program will hide the mouse pointer when it is not in use ie, the mouse is idle. [08:45] Samuel: in VLC and SMplayer, there are options for that, not sure about Totem, but I would imagine it would [08:45] pksadiq: unable to connect to xserver [08:46] iceroot: Cisco Corporation calls it "load balancing" [08:46] speedy: gl [08:46] i'll give it a try, thx HyperShock and thx gaelfx at least there are ways [08:46] Samuel: no problem [08:46] Besogon: that is called bonding, and yes you can do it in ubuntu [08:46] Samuel, np dude [08:47] fds2: try sudo gdm [08:47] Besogon: cisco is calling THERE propitary solution load balancing [08:47] noisewaterphd: Shopuld I turn something or it will work "out of the box"?

I've just downloaded the 10.10 ISO, and have it in the CDROM drive of my virtual machine. Problem is, I want to upgrade from 10.04, but the install wants me to obliterate what's there already... [08:50] Is there an "upgrade" command instead of a "Install" command? [08:50] viking667: Only if you download the alternate CD, not the desktop CD. [08:50] what is the command to do only fast file updates to a remote share? rsync -vrec does not do that [08:50] Is there a way to rig the volume up hotkey raise the volume to 150% as the sound preferences allows? the volume down hotkey affects this normally when above 100% to 150%, but the volume up hotkey only goes up to 100% [08:51] oh, crap. [08:51] pksadiq: VIM not found. [08:51] i've just installed unclutter, but where is it installed? [08:51] like to autostart it you see :)) [08:51] viking667: (and you won't boot the CD, you'll just insert it with your 10.04 booted already) [08:51] fds2: ok, if you have internet try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [08:51] So you're saying I downloaded the wrong disc, twice??? [08:52] (first disc I downloaded was the 10.04 LTS, and I wasn't actually aware of it until the OS told me once I'd installed it: Welcome to 10.04) [08:52] I felt like a charlie. [08:52] viking667: I'm not sure about the twice part, but if you have the desktop CD only, then yes, you still need to download the alternate CD [08:53] This morning, I went ahead and grabbed the desktop CD... now this evening I find out I'm supposed to have got the alt. Yeesh. [08:53] At this rate, I should probably do a dist-upgrade instead. [08:53] 'man banshee': "Muinshee - Media Management and Playback application" Why does 'man banshee' mention "Muinshee"? How is that related to Banshee? [08:53] viking667: That would also work, yeah. It'll be a smaller download in the long run [08:53] viking667: did you use the torrent to download? or directly? cause usually torrent is faster [08:54] viking667: The only reason I wouldn't do that (since you already have the desktop CD to install 10.10 should you need to reinstall) is if you were going to upgrade more than one machine [08:54] I actually used the direct download, because the small torrent file wouldn't download for some reason. [08:54] viking667: Or wanted some of the features of the alternate CD, of course [08:54] heh. Such as? [08:54] fds2, from the grub menu choose the kernel marked as recovery mode, in there is the option to rebuild the Xorg configuration settings according to the fucking way that Ubuntu wants things [08:55] heh. It's only an ISO at this stage, I haven't burned it... no point when I'm only dealing with VMs. [08:55] oops sorry, that word is funky not the other word that is there. :( [08:55] HyperShock: language please [08:55] viking667: well, the alternate CD has more flexibility, you can install a command-line system, install on LVM, etc. [08:55] pksadiq: no inet ATM [08:55] Is there a way to rig the volume up hotkey raise the volume to 150% as the sound preferences allows? the volume down hotkey affects this normally when above 100% to 150%, but the volume up hotkey only goes up to 100% [08:55] HyperShock: haha, ok will try that [08:56] sorry for the fword all it was unintentional. [08:56] * HyperShock grovels for mercy [08:57] bullgard4: google says muinshee is a UI for banshee... [08:57] how do I change my sound settings, what file is that located in? [08:57] HyperShock: from recovery mode, got to "recovery menu" [08:58] excelsior: what setting do you want to change? [08:58] max volume [08:58] excelsior: system->preferences>sound [08:58] Loshki: If I call Banshee I am having a UI. So is muinshee another banshee UI, or what? [08:58] rsync -u gives me "error to set times on file"..... ??? [08:59] SwedeMike: sorry, that's not it. That's a volume control. I want to alter the max volume. [08:59] bullgard4: Sorry, I don't use them myself. Feel free to google and read up on the details.. [08:59] excelsior: in what way? lower? [08:59] no, higher [09:00] excelsior: I have no idea. Slider in settings there goes to ~140% or so, but it seems to be not available using the normal up/down buttons. [09:01] Well, I'm assuming there's a file that controls the settings, so I'm looking for it, and I'll figure out whatever documentation I can find on it, and then I'll change it. [09:01] Well, I'm assuming there's a file that controls the settings, so I'm looking for it, and I'll figure out whatever documentation I can find on it, and then I'll change it.

[09:02] bullgard4: just trying to cut out the middleman... [09:02] how do I search for files? [09:03] upgrading now... though I wish I could have just upgraded the packages I already HAD installed... instead, it wants to reinstall all the packages I spent half of yesterday removing. [09:04] how do I search for files? [09:04] isn't there a way too.... hang on, dist-upgrade? [09:04] bullgard4: pardon me, I meant to give you a url: http://gburt.blogspot.com/2008/08/muinshee.html [09:05] excelsior: a couple of ways, I'm a terminal dude so I use locate in a terminal [09:05] viking667: Yeah, you could do a dist-upgrade if you literally just wanted to upgrade the packages you have installed. This isn't officially supported, but if all of the packagers did their jobs properly, it should work just fine. [09:05] (if your locate database isn't filled in, you may want to build it) [09:05] find is a useful alternative [09:06] viking667: How much did you remove? [09:06] viking667: thanks, locate worked great, but find didn't do anything [09:06] anyone knows a good package to encrypt/password a folder in ubuntu? [09:07] excelsior: you can do find | grep pattern [09:07] for a GUI tool, I don't know, as I don't use them as much as I probably would want. [09:07] ha ha ha... ohh, only about 300 odd packages. [09:07] maybe not quite that much, but certainly a few. [09:07] excelsior: find /place/to/find/stuff -name "name-of-file-you-want-to-find" [09:07] pksadiq: ewww... [09:08] viking667: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:08] hi [09:08] pksadiq: could you give me an example? [09:09] excelsior: to find a file named gcc...in the current folder do find ./ | grep gcc (gcc is case sensitive) [09:09] is there a man page? [09:09] man grep, man find [09:09] viking667: Alright, in the future, you should just start from an install that doesn't have a GUI (the alternate CD is the easiest way to get there), but anyway, yes. I imagine doing an old-school dist-upgrade (after migrating your sources.list to point to maverick) would work mostly. Might have some hiccups depending on what metapackages you removed [09:09] !natty [09:09] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [09:10] pksadiq: locate worked, but even that didn't. Don't worry about it. [09:11] Newbie problem: I seem to have broken the association between Yelp and the documents it should read. (Likely cause: I messed with a file in usr/share/gnome/help/internet/C.) And so the Help documents no longer open. (More precisely, I can get the top level of Help docs but can't go deeper.) I gather that I can go to the file I messed up, click "open with," add a "custom command," add "Yelp ghelp" as the right application to use, and have tha [09:11] t apply to all similar files. No? But it seems some further argument is needed. That's what I need help with. What should I specify in "open with"? (Or where should I look for that info?) [09:11] excelsior: your locate db could be old, issue the updatedb command, and then run locate again [09:11] excelsior: I hope you havent missplaced the pipe(|) symbol [09:11] pksadiq: it's better to use: find ./ -name gcc [09:12] hi [09:12] viking667: yeah, but I use grep always my '-' press goes to the wrong key ;) [09:12] viking667: tried that, it didn't work either [09:13] weird... tried this: which gcc [09:13] that'll tell you if it's even installed [09:13] anyone have the gedit plugin to search and replace with regexps? [09:13] or "dpkg -s gcc" [09:13] hi [09:13] noisewaterphd: is that command: locate -update or what? [09:13] that only works for specific packages where the program name is the name of the package [09:13] viking667: gcc is simply an example, just leave it, [09:14] excelsior: updatedb [09:14] excelsior: you might have to do /sbin/updatedb [09:14] do I need sudo? [09:14] excelsior: and you may have to sudo, its different in every distro and i dont remember [09:15] excelsior: or if you need to search in the whole system do sudo find / | grep -i xorg (etc or what ever) . try it [09:15] im on ubuntu now, i suppose i could just check [09:15] I did it sudo, no errors given, so I assume it worked? [09:15] sudo is needed for updatedb yes. But then also sudo for locate after === hermanlf_ is now known as hermanlf [09:15] genii-around: I don't think that's quite correct. [09:16] i.e. updatedb, correct. but locate shouldn't need sudo [09:16] genii-around: sudo is only needed for locate if you are looking into /root I think.. or other users folders.. [09:16] and if I remember correctly, there's some cron job that takes care of building the slocate/mlocate database anyhow. [09:17] 44 minutes remaining of install [09:17] ya, there is a cron, but by default its pretty long, if you are looking for anything added recently you usually need to manually run updatedb [09:18] viking667: Ah. Empirically shows sudo required for updatedb but not locate. [09:18] anyone ever mess around with pulseaudio alsamixer conf files? [09:19] I tend to not like pulseaudio... [09:19] how do I know what I'm using? [09:19] having two sound cards isn't good for it or something... all I get is the one flaming volume control, and that's it. [09:20] Anybody has experience with the facebook Graph API or used it in the past ?? [09:20] Comrades, I sobered up [09:21] Good for you. [09:21] slaintie [09:21] Ha, thanks you [09:22] 1:00 pm excitement, drank are many [09:22] how can i change irssi to keep me aas danileigh79 without having to /nick everytime I start irssi? [09:23] irssi -c server --nick=yournick [09:23] I first time contact linux, therefore this aspect thing I know nothing about [09:23] then when you next start irssi, start it plain "irssi -c server" [09:24] in that event, your new nick should stick. [09:24] You use linux generally, makes anything [09:25] viking667: kk, gonna try, brb [09:25] Which country are you ? [09:28] Can someone help me with installing ubuntu? [09:28] hello all when i change the system language into chinese . there is a popup that says "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first." [09:29] can someone help me to solve this problem? [09:29] malegebi - when u boot to recovery mode there is an option to "fix broken packages" [09:30] how to boot into recovery mode? [09:30] Can someone help me with installing ubuntu? Newbie here [09:30] reboot and at the grub menu select the 2nd option (recovery mode) [09:30] when you first boot up, hold down a shift key so you see that grub menu [09:30] hm. What's "falcon"? [09:31] !info falcon [09:31] Package falcon does not exist in maverick [09:31] thanks i'll have a try [09:31] Simple question; where are the system-wide settings for the default gnome-panel launchers stored? [09:31] mmm. seems not. [09:31] Can someone help me with installing ubuntu? Newbie here [09:31] viking667: It used to be a repository building tool developed by Seveas. Looks like not in repositories anymore though [09:32] jj_: sure [09:32] Can someone help me with installing ubuntu? [09:33] nvm it, already found the answer.. apparently the default panel launchers settings are stored in gconf [09:33] jj_: whats the problem exactly? [09:33] Can't do, I don't know enough about it myself... [09:33] quickly for the pros - my gnome-panel places menu has associations with a program that I can't be rid of. Any ideas? [09:34] is it in the left hand side of a Nautilus window? [09:34] Have you at least installed it, viking? I have but it didn't activate for some reason. [09:34] jj - whats your prob?

I know that I can run the VHDs in virtual box under ubuntu, just want to know if the MS provided images will run or not? [09:47] OK, I just read that pulseaudio allows the volume to go to 480%. How do I tap that? [09:48] XATRIX: any output from cron jobs is sent to your mailspool. With that said, I don't know if that's the command you actually want to put in cron. You don't want to run screen. What are you hoping to accomplish?

I was going through the mumble tutorial and I wasn't getting my mic working (which I actually have working now) but I accidentally set my output to OSS in mumble. Mumble then crashed, and ever since my volume has been REALLY low. [09:59] Any idea how to fix sound problem on Ubuntu 10.10? [09:59] All indications in the sound application under preferences show everything turned up, any suggestions would be helpful. :) [09:59] and what about its network manager? is network service is included in kernel?

[10:11] llutz, why i cannot call my machines by name [10:11] hi all [10:11] plop all [10:11] parapan: Ok, you could use something like "du -s * .*| sort -n" in a directory, (you home might be a good start) to see what is taking the most space [10:11] /etc/hosts for manual specifying of hosts by IP [10:12] raven: check your dns-server (your router config) [10:12] is there any channel for oracle? [10:12] Newbie problem: I seem to have broken the association between Yelp and the documents it should read. (Likely cause: I messed with a file in usr/share/gnome/help/internet/C.) And so the Help documents no longer open. (More precisely, I can get the top level of Help docs but can't go deeper.)

[10:12] llutz, should be all ok with the router [10:12] I have a /etc/hosts file, but it's probably best done by a DNS server if you've got multiple machines in a local network [10:12] WHY do volume controls always hog mouse focus... it blocks screensavers. Yes, using a volume control without clicking away from it prevents the screensaver from starting. It stops the mouse scroll event from working on other windows. Very frustrating. [10:12] raven: unlikely, if that is your dns server and it doesn't work [10:13] parapan: then you can use "rm file" or rm -r "directory/" (careful!) to remove items. [10:13] I've resolved my problem. It seems like when I clicked OSS in mumble and mumble crashed, that OSS was launched and it took hold of my USB headset. I downloaded the Alsa soundmixer and turned the volume up and everything is normal. I just now need to figure out how to regain control over my headset in Pulse [10:13] I doubt that there is something wrong with my vga driver chipset ati 3470 (thinkpad t400 laptop), when I am playing a file ,using vlc, the image stops from time to time, DO I NEED to replace the driver?

[10:49] arand: trash looks empty ..no file there [10:49] siddhantchd, don't hurt to keep them both around. but amarok has been doing a lot of stupid stuff over the past couple years [10:50] nightcrow, according to what I am reading sudo passwd username type it in even if it complains of too short password and then retype it [10:50] arand: i'll try to see if 183 Mb it's now enough to reinstall xserver [10:50] tanath yea amarok isnt working only , it doesnt play any tpye of music [10:50] SwedeMike: no, I know. But i fear if i upgrade, i will get the most secure server in the world.. It wont even start.. [10:50] Dr_Willis: in 10.04 it doesnt allow you to put a short password [10:50] parapan: Hmm, it might take time for it to catch up thi the delete... [10:50] nightcrow: i just set the users password to a 3 letter word. just fine.. [10:51] siddhantchd, you might be able to check amarok's settings and choose a different engine. that might work, but i'd recommend changing it for a better player anyway [10:51] Ive not noticed any changes to the passwd command in recent releases. [10:51] parapan: check both .Trash and .local/share/Trash to be sure... [10:51] tanath yea i will be changing it for sure [10:51] parapan: And I guess you could re-run baobab and see if it hid somewhere else... [10:51] siddhantchd, it's sad. amarok used to be the best [10:51] parapan: if something was using that file when you deleted it, then the space won't be reclaimed until that application is stopped or releases the file lock. [10:52] Is a VNC server running by default in ubuntu 10.10 for use with the remote client app that's installed? Or do I need to enable it. [10:52] tanath that wht i had also heard, actually i m new to linux so trying to adjust and get the best software i can [10:52] ninwa: gnome has a vnc server feature installed by default. but none 'run' by default [10:52] and even learning how to use them [10:53] siddhantchd, in that case, grab ubuntu-tweak. lots of goodies there made easy to install [10:53] ninwa: the gnome vnc feature shares the current visiable desktop. normal vnc servers can have 'hidden' desktops [10:53] Dr_Willis, oh cool, interesting [10:53] tanath okie but i wanna learn the correct way [10:54] Dr_Willis: coz_ : brb [10:54] phone call [10:54] thank you [10:54] siddhantchd, it's not incorrect.. just makes things easier [10:54] tanath okie,, can i pm u and talk ? need help wid a few things [10:55] siddhantchd, sure [10:55] gah!!! why in the heck does my cursor jump to the upper left corner of the without warning and only on 10.10 ?? [10:56] coz_: I have a feeling its cairo-dock or compiz [10:56] soreau, well it only occurs on maveric [10:56] maveric [10:56] soreau, compiz isnt running ,, [10:56] arand: where is .Trash located ??? i cannot locate-it via terminal [10:56] * coz_ confesses he doesnt always use compiz :) [10:56] !trash [10:56] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [10:57] SwedeMike: it may be that reason ...the files I deleted originally were used by gFTP or filezilla .....is there a cache for those applications which can lock the image of the original files ??? [10:58] parapan: If it isn't there, it isn't there. (use "ls -a" to see hidden file as well)... [10:59] parapan: no, that's just how the filesystem works. You delete the file pointer in the directory, the actual file is only deleted when zero applications have the file open. === PicCard_Away is now known as PicCard [11:00] arand: no, that's not how it works. [11:00] this is not windows with NTFS that won't let you delete a file that is open by another application. [11:00] arand: i have no .Trash in /home/user folder .....only in .local [11:00] parapan: .local is in /home/user [11:00] parapan: stop the application or simply reboot and you'll get the space freed. [11:01] parapan: /home/$USER/.local/ [11:01] soreau: I already fouded thanks [11:01] *sigh* Why am I even trying. [11:02] SwedeMike: my problem is more complex ..I do not have the X running ...I try to reinstall but I do not have enough space ..... [11:02] parapan: He's gone [11:02] parapan: Can you restate your problem please? [11:03] soreau: I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and suddenly the X is not loading anymore; restart and the system is telling me that it is forced to run in low graphic mode; I press OK, but low graphic mode is not loading and i'm presented with a menu with different options ...however none is usefull; I went for the terminal - made a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...nothing happened ....I've checked xorg.conf using nano and the file is blank === knightstalker is now known as Guest94464 [11:03] parapan: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to paste.ubuntu.com [11:04] parapan: try a simple 'startx' and look for error messages yet in the console? [11:04] soreau: after that I tried reinstalling Xserver ..but I have no space left on the filesystem / [11:04] parapan: an empty xorg.conf is normal these days - X auto configures for the most part. What is your video chipset>? [11:04] parapan: reinstalling is windows thinking. Unless you removed X. theres no point in reinstalling it. [11:04] soreau: Dr_Willis: I think the issue is simply that there is not enough space available for X to create it's termopary files, etc. [11:04] parapan: Well that is a problem. Do you know what's taking all the space? [11:04] arand: indeed [11:05] Dr_Willis: I'll try that .... [11:05] the apt cache is normally a big hog here. and the log files. [11:05] czołem [11:05] Hi.

[11:11] so where should I look for the files ....Trash is clear .... [11:11] where else ??? [11:11] parapan: Did you run 'sudo apt-get clean' ?

[11:11] !wifi | tdn [11:11] tdn: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:11] it's weird because the last not lastest ubuntu works fine, the config haven't changes EXCEPT the keyboar i went from a usb to a ps/2... can't beleave that is trouble [11:12] jiltdil: sort of depends on *what* sql backend [11:12] hello [11:12] jiltdil: eg: PostgreSQL,MySQL, SQLite, etc [11:13] soreau: on the first place I run sudo apt-get autoclean ...that was freeing 2-3 Gb at some point .....that BEFORE mounting the UFS partition ..after doing the copy of those 5 Gb the autoclean command was useless [11:13] parapan: Another useful command is 'du -hs /some/directory' to see exactly how much space files are taking up in /some/directory [11:13] genii-around:MySQL [11:13] parapan: You should be able to poke around and see who's taking up your space [11:14] parapan, out of curiosity....what percentage of the drive was used from those commands? [11:14] parapan: Have you used deborphan or such? [11:14] parapan: But the bottom line is, you absolutely need free space for your system to move/breathe/do anything useful [11:14] coz_: 100% from df initially... [11:15] arand, yikes!! [11:15] gnewb: I tried from the X ..when it was not broken ....at that time I restarted and the X doesnt worked anymore ... [11:15] gnewb: dont know how to do that from the terminal command [11:15] how do i run a program from the terminal [11:15] soreau, i've managed with no space before. it can be done :P [11:15] parapan, what size is your drive(s) [11:15] jiltdil: If you have a webserver on the machine with it, phpmyadmin, if no webserver and local box then mysql-admin is recommended [11:15] or start a program [11:15] soreau, for a little while anyway [11:15] tanath: For the sake of this topic, we will assume you can't [11:16] lol [11:16] WeThePeople : try type a name [11:16] WeThePeople: Simply type the name of the application [11:16] parapan: Have you , wait, wait, was gonna ask if you tried the Recovery Console, but that sounds like a simple Xorg thing.

[11:17] I think if I remember it is "shift" :) [11:17] memoen: check the mac docs/channel - ive no idea what the key combo is these days [11:17] or splat key [11:17] Dr_Willis: Yes. Ctrl-C [11:17] parapan: Here it is:>http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/134 [11:17] yeah, I tell it to boot from my external hard drive, however it goes straight to my windows instead..... [11:18] coz_: thats for the grub menu to appear.. mac used to use differnt keys over the years. I recall C for cd. and other combos. [11:18] I have duo boot windows osx [11:18] Dr_Willis, even on a mac? [11:18] coz_: not quite ...../home folder was 5,5 Gb in total .....with one file of 4,5 Gb = moovie ...I deleted this file after booted from LiveCD ....the amount of free space shown was only 183 Mb even if I deleted 4,5 Gb ... [11:18] Well, "AppleKey-C" [11:18] Dr_Willis, ah my mac days are long gone :) [11:18] memoen: you need to set trib to boot what os you want by default then. [11:18] genii-around, that's been dead for a few years :) [11:18] memoen: grub has its configs you can tweak/reorder to change the order of the menu. [11:18] parapan, sounds like you should pastebin the output of 'df -h' [11:18] soreau, yes i am trying to run linphone. i installed it but there is no icon in the Apps menu [11:18] Seveas: Shows how old my Macs are :) [11:18] !help [11:18] java time, back in a byte.

[11:19] ubotto: help [11:19] genii-around, I was replying to your comment about falcon (reading highlight history), not macs :) [11:19] WeThePeople: Ah, ok. If you know the name of the executable, you can simply type it in your terminal and press enter. How did you install it? [11:19] Dr_Wills, it never shows grub even loading from the external drive, thats the strange part [11:19] If i were to make a shortcut, what could I use to represent an invidual user's home path? I know that ~/------ should work, but I need it to /home/%somethinghere/ [11:19] parapan: sometimes a fsck ( filesystem check ) is needed [11:19] it just jumps over the external drive and goes on to booting windows [11:19] cellardoor, ~username [11:19] I have small problem in Ubuntu 10.04 [11:19] even if I tell it [11:19] memoen: check the grub settings to hide the menu, i always set mine to always show. never hide. [11:19] parapan, sounds like you need to fsck your file system [11:19] Seveas: much love for you [11:20] soreau, i used 'sudo apt-get install linphone' [11:20] Seveas: It was a worthy project, and it saddens me that you did not continue. [11:20] marcin: are you polish? [11:20] memoen: could be its showing. but hidden, or for somereason using a weird res. so its not being seen [11:20] yes [11:20] WeThePeople: Alright, sec [11:20] gnewb: deborphan has to be installed in the first place ..I cannot install any new package I have 0% free space !!! [11:20] is there anyway i can mimic the action of a shortcut/hot key from a terminal command ???? [11:20] please tell [11:20] That's a good point Dr_Willis, when I boot it on other machines it never shows grub [11:20] Dr_Willis, thank you [11:20] genii-around, tell my boss to give me more free time. I'm wasting the little bit of time I have on writing irc bots :) [11:20] erUSUL: I'll try the fsck . . . [11:20] Dr_Willis: any idea?? [11:20] memoen: by default grub autohides if ubuntu is the ionly os. SHIFT key would make it appear. [11:20] parapan, issue is lack of free space, yes? have you fscked the file system to verify it's intact? if something seems to be filling up your space, check your logs [11:21] parapan, 'apt-get clean' should save some space [11:21] and baobab (installed by default I think) can tell you where the space is used [11:21] spyzer: ive seen mention of xmacro type apps. never used them. I imagine it depends on exxatly action you want to do. [11:21] WeThePeople: /usr/bin/linphone-3 [11:21] parapan, there could be something wrong and your system's going insane writing info to log file, filling up space [11:21] parapan, try log viewer [11:21] WeThePeople: So you can simply type 'linphone-3' [11:21] parapan: apt-get purge e2fstools [11:22] Frots: what? [11:22] WeThePeople: This is assuming you're using maverick, 10.10 [11:22] erUSUL: what what?

[11:27] parapan, it will verify the integrity of the entire file system [11:27] ! fsck | parapan [11:27] parapan: 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 [11:27] !fuck [11:27] ! language | Frots [11:27] Frots: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[11:38] hiexpo: It's a usb thingy :P [11:38] Dr_Willis: if you have a moment ....my problem is a little bit deeper .....I have 0 space on my / ; I mounted a UFS partition yesterday made copy of some files out of this partition on my home folder; after that, I deleted the files BUT the space was not free . . .

[11:39] tanath: He should learn some irc etiquette though :P [11:40] soreau: that my problem also ...the files are there somewhere ....just cannot locate them .... [11:40] i'l try that find command .... [11:40] parapan: Sounds like you have bigger problems than just running out of disk space on / [11:41] but in windows 7 3GB ram will utilising properly...

So it's either fubar or pebcak [11:46] Dr_Willis: I'm in liveCD now ..can you point me out using the visual interface ?? [11:46] parapan: check the gnome menus. Im not on normal gnome desktop. [11:47] parapan: You may want to fsck the problem filesyste4m since you are on a live cd. befor you mount it also. [11:47] ive removed apache, and reinstalling it, but apache hasnt remade /etc/sadf [11:47] err [11:47] /etc/apache2 [11:48] and its default configuration files [11:48] whats going on? [11:48] is there a way to find all the duplicate files on my computer? [11:48] Renski: perhaps you should of used teh purge option. [11:48] !find dupes [11:48] apt-get purge apache2 ? [11:48] Found: fdupes, findimagedupes [11:48] !info fdupes [11:48] fdupes (source: fdupes): identifies duplicate files within given directories. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-PR2-3 (maverick), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB [11:48] whats the difference between purge and remove? [11:49] Renski: purge will remove all config files. - theres also a reinstalloption [11:49] Dr_Willis: I monted / from the old system under LiveCD, open the terminal made sudo fsck ...nothing is happening [11:49] thanks [11:49] parapan: you fsck BEFOR you mount it. [11:49] parapan: and you fsck /dev/sdXX [11:49] ok [11:50] hi all, i wished to add a menu item to nautilus right click. I added an action in "nautilus actions configuration" but the action appears only when some item is selected. How do i make it appear anytime? [11:50] kindly help [11:50] Renski: Try installing apache2 ? [11:51] .... [11:51] spyzer, you mean under the area where the filesystem etc are listed? [11:51] Renski: remove removes the package, purge removes the package and it's configuration files [11:51] Renski: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [11:51] coz_: i mean when i right click anywhere in nautilus then the menu which appears, i wish to modify it a bit [11:51] ok, ive done a purge and an install, and theres still no /etc/apache folder [11:51] 10.10 [11:51] Dr_Willis: fsck /dev/sdb7 - whent 2 seconds ...clean .. [11:52] Renski: Is apache service running? [11:52] Dr_Willis: how to check space on the whole old / ? [11:52] no [11:52] spyzer, read here maybe it will help http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-add-items-to-the-right-click-menu-in-nautilus/ [11:52] by folders or whatever ? by filesize ? etc ?? [11:53] parapan: mount it and use baobab [11:53] Renski: Try sudo service apache2 start [11:53] coz_: have already gone through that, but it requires me to select some item, i can't do it without selecting anything :( [11:53] arand: baobab from terminal ? [11:53] soreau: unrecongnized service [11:53] parapan: force the check « e2fsck -pf /dev/sdxx » [11:53] spyzer, ah I see mm I know this but can;t think of the solution off hand [11:54] parapan: Follow erUSUL first [11:54] My wireless connection keeps dropping and doesn't reconnect automatically. It works fine on my Windows machine. I have the latest proprietary driver installed. I'm using 10.04. What could be going on? [11:54] but another apt-get install says apache2 is alreadly newest version [11:54] Renski: Well that is a problem. Let me see here [11:54] mwaaaaahahahahaha [11:55] sorry there were so many people in here that it drove me crazy for a second [11:55] oorrrrr maybe there are so many idling bots in here!?!? [11:55] parapan: if /dev/sdb7 is your old / then you did just check it. [11:55] erUSUL: it gives me the number of files - 0,2% non-contiguous ... [11:56] soreau: I orginally uninstalled it because apache stopped working, and refused to bind to any ports [11:56] Renski: Are apache2.2-common and apache2.2-bin installed? [11:56] parapan: but you still have not got the space of the removed files back ? [11:56] parapan:Ok, so that seems fine. If you are on the liveCD you can run "baobab &" to start it, then make it scan a specific folder and set it to /media/whatveritscalledhere [11:56] Renski: What happened to make it stop working? [11:56] no [11:56] Dr_Willis: i ment for the filesizes ....how do I check what folder/files have big sizes ? [11:56] no idea [11:56] Renski: Install them [11:56] Renski: apache2 is just a meta package that should pull in those and possibly other packages [11:57] soreau: both alreadly installed [11:57] parapan: Alternatively disk-usage-analyser in the menu... [11:57] soreau: it was also complaining about not being able to read logs [11:57] soreau: or write to them [11:57] parapan: something like: du -h works too [11:57] soreau: before I uninstalled it [11:58] erUSUL: You're the man !!! - I have now a 1,1 Gb free space ...BUT available is only 156.9 Mb ..how come ??? [11:58] 'uninstalling/reinstalling' to fix things is windows-mentality thinking. :) [11:58] parapan: some space is reserv3ed for root in ext* partitions [11:58] parapan: how big is the whole filesystem? [11:58] parapan: 5% to be exact [11:58] Dr_Willis what is your PHD in? [11:58] or are you a medical doctor? [11:58] Renski: Checked permissions of said logs and disk space? I assume /etc/init.d/apache2 does not exist? [11:59] Crum: im a Dr of love. [11:59] Dr_Willis: 19GB all / Used 18Gb ... [11:59] Dr_Willis or are you a fake doctor? [11:59] PHD = Post Hole Digger [11:59] Dr_Willis you disgusting swine. Get out of here [11:59] You asked... [11:59] soreau: I did, it was set to adm, root u=rw,g=r,o= [11:59] Renski: Try reinstalling apache2.2-common because it provides /etc/init.d/apache2. Also, reinstall apache2.2-bin [12:00] purge and reinstall? [12:00] Crum, does that mean you are not falling in love? lol [12:00] erUSUL: is there a way to check the orphaned files from the old / ? - from the liveCD ??? [12:00] Renski: Anything to get /etc/init.d/apache2 and /usr/bin/apache2 to appear [12:00] parapan: with deborphan [12:00] mkanyicy no feminine subjects allowed [12:00] ? [12:00] Renski: /usr/sbin/apache2, rather [12:00] rsync problem -u gives me failed to set times error operation not permittet while backup on a smb drive [12:01] parapan, what is an orphaned file? [12:01] ok, removed, then apt-get install apache2 ? [12:01] erUSUL: but I have to installed first right ? [12:01] hi. can anyone tell me which kind of drivers i have to install in ubuntu? Debain/Fedora/Novell-SLED/Novell-SLES/OpenSuse or RHEL? [12:01] mkanyicy: packages that the system doesn't need anymore.....from different installations, etc ... [12:02] parapan: why not do it from the installed system? use bleachbit. i've never used it but others find it usefull [12:02] hello, how to use ocsp ? [12:02] Renski: Here, I have installed apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-bin and apache2.2-common [12:02] soreau: you're a star, its working [12:02] Renski: Awesome sauce ;) [12:02] erUSUL: I have to reboot to the old system first ... [12:02] Gebinsel: totally deends on what device you are using. Most are built in, or are in one or more ubuntu reposuitories. [12:02] FWIW: Bleachbit *can* toast someone's system relatively easy. [12:03] erUSUL: and exit the liveCD ...being in liveCD ...I tought I can try something from this side ... [12:03] hi everyone...i want to specifically allow only a ip address to access my apache server. should i create a .htaccess file for the same or add the rules to /etc/apache2/conf.d/security ? [12:03] which is why you don't choose all of the options in bleacbit [12:03] parapan: it is easier from the installed system. both using deborpahn and bleacbit or other tools [12:03] we both made the same typo >_> [12:03] k [12:03] Dr_Willis: Thx 4 info: i'm using 10.10 [12:03] ruan: lol [12:04] My wireless connection keeps dropping and doesn't reconnect automatically. It works fine on my Windows machine. I have the latest proprietary driver installed. I'm using 10.04. What could be going on? [12:04] b leachbit = boat anchor if you don't know what your doing hehe [12:05] Dr_Willis: oh sry. just stood up. haven't got it right [12:05] ebbe: What wifi chip is it? [12:05] soreau: broadcom [12:05] Dr_Willis: its about a mainboard driver [12:05] hiexpo: xD [12:05] ! broadcom | ebbe [12:05] ebbe: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [12:05] erUSUL: Not needed anymore .....the X is back !!!! however ......156 Mb on the filesystem ......now .......what else can I try ?? [12:05] ebbe, Edit the connection in the Network Manager - set it to connect automatically, set the MTU to 1500, save changes, and make sure you set it to "All Users". [12:05] ebbe: Eventually, there should be an open driver available for broadcom as they began releasing hw specs [12:06] parapan: have you used the disk use analizer to see where the space is wasted? [12:06] erUSUL: Disk Usage Analyser reports /usr folder is using 54% - 3,2 Gb ... [12:06] ebbe: But of course, that's neither here nor there for your issue now. Just try reading that guide [12:07] parapan: how big is the partition ? [12:07] parapan, have you removed old linux kernels? [12:07] parapan: Cool. Use 'df -h' and 'du -hs /path' and uninstall uneeded bloatware [12:07] erUSUL: I think he said 19GB root [12:08] erUSUL: in DSK Analyser .../ is shown 5,8 Gb ...from which /usr is getting 54% .... [12:08] there is a lot of room from 3,2 GiB to 19 GiB [12:08] Is there any way to have dm-crypt/luks require both password and keyfile, ala truecrypt? [12:08] mkanyicy: You may have a point ....when booting I have like 10 old kernels to choose from ... [12:08] soreau: That page just tells me how to install the STA driver, which I've already done. [12:09] parapan: and home is in the same partition? 5,8 Gb for an ubuntu install is quite tight. ... [12:09] parapan, thats a lot [12:09] Greetings! [12:09] parapan: Or are you saying baobab reports 5.8 as being the total size of the disk? [12:09] ebbe: I don't know what else to tell you other than it's a driver issue. Try a different (stable?) version if you can [12:09] Are proprietary drivers ever stable though? [12:09] mine are [12:09] s/disk/filesystem/ [12:09] ruan: Yea until you try to do any updates :P [12:10] erUSUL: nope that's about it ....the / has in real 19Gb ....only the home is 5 Gb ... [12:10] i'm having a problem on ubuntu 10.10 64bit - every while the mouse cursor starts to flicker and alternates between hand and pointer icon, and i can't do anything while this happens [12:10] * soreau proudly no longer uses any proprietary drivers [12:10] it's quite annoying.. anyone knows what this could have to do with? [12:10] mkanyicy: how do I delete the old kernels ??? [12:10] Radeon and Atheros have t3h awesome drivers [12:10] im on nvidia [12:10] parapan: Very carefully. [12:11] ruan: Forget about it. nvidia still wont finance releasing hw specs [12:11] So you're still left groping in the dark [12:11] hmm [12:11] well. [12:11] parapan, Easiest way is to run the Synaptic Package Manager, type "linux-image" => choose the kernels that are no longer necessary -> remove them, and you're done. [12:11] parapan, myself i usually do a 'uname -r' in terminal and then go to synaptic and search for 'linux image' and delete everything except the 'uname -r' version. and search for 'linux headers' and do the same. [12:11] soreau: the server doesnt seem to be parsing php files, what package should be installed for that? [12:11] i haven't had one 3d game not working properly thus far [12:11] I thought that could come under common [12:12] Renski: Can you be more specific? [12:12] soreau: I assumed the prop driver would be the most stable, that's how wrong a beginner can be. [12:12] Renski: Here, I have installed apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-bin and apache2.2-common <-- try reinstalling all of those [12:12] The page you pointed to has another driver, b43, perhaps I should try that one. [12:12] ebbe: Yes. [12:12] soreau: I access the front page which is html, thats all good, then access a media wiki and tries to make me download a phtml file [12:12] instead of redirecting me [12:12] Hi. When I plug a projector into my laptop it doesn't work. How do I go about solving that? [12:13] Ive had some systems need the b43 drivers some worked better with the sta driver.. some dident. it depends on the exact chipset I guess. [12:13] ive double checked the permissions, they're execiutable [12:13] yankdownunder: could you repeat what you wrote earlier? My connection dropped so I lost it... [12:13] YankDownUnder: OK , looks a little bit dangerous ...:D [12:13] Renski: That is beyond my area of expertise. Try reinstalling the package list I gave [12:13] steveire_: enable it as you would a 2nd monitor. laptop hotkeys, or the monitors settings icon, or both. :) [12:13] ebbe, Edit the connection in the Network Manager - set it to connect automatically, set the MTU to 1500, save changes, and make sure you set it to "All Users". [12:13] steveire_: ive seen some laptops be a bit conrused. if the 2nd monitor was not plugged in first befor the system booted. [12:14] ftp://digdist.bbsindex.com/uploads/UP_OTHER/00index.html?$gm1vhtv4 [12:14] Tunnel: just pasteing random URL's ? [12:14] Renski: Hmm, seems phtml has something to do with php [12:14] parapan, you should gain roughly about 200MB for each kernel version removed [12:14] Renski: Perhaps you need to (re)install php stuff too === Sw33NY is now known as Sw33NY_ [12:14] Should be able to resolve the issue with the projector by doing PREFERENCES => MONITORS => and then enable the secondary display (projector) [12:15] Dr_Willis: Now you have me conrused too ;) [12:15] yankdownunder: I already had connect automatically and all users, but mtu was 'automatic' now '1500'. [12:15] soreau: was my stupid browser cache [12:16] soreau: mkanyicy Dr_Willis arand YankDownUnder erUSUL : Thank you kindly folks, I'll try to use all advices from your side ....and get back to you if I mess something else ...you saved me from a reinstall :D [12:16] /timer 1 5000 hu timeout 22000 [12:16] Renski: Oh yea, always clear that too [12:16] parapan: Cool [12:17] process281 glib-warining getpwuid_r():failed due to unkonwn user id(0) [12:17] YankDownUnder: What I mean is the second monitor is not there to be enabled. [12:17] process281 glib-warining getpwuid_r():failed due to unkonwn user id(0) , what this mean [12:17] steveire_: try your laptops special keys to toggle the monitors on/off [12:17] I also tried the boot-with-connected trick, and that didn't work either. [12:17] steveire_, Hmmm...have you rebooted with it connected and turned on, perchance? [12:18] This used to work before, I guess I've had kernel and X upgrades since. [12:18] But I don't know if it's X or kernel dependent [12:18] steveire_, I'd assume it's not the kernel, but your graphics driver...what card ya gots? [12:18] parapan, good luck [12:18] I don't know :) [12:19] steveire_, Um...ya don't know what kinda graphics card you have? [12:19] Correct [12:19] I don't know how to check [12:20] steveire_: lspci|grep VGA [12:20] steveire_, Um...mate...when you check in your "Monitors" preferences, ya should be told a bit there mate... [12:20] how can I enable graphics after installing links2 ? [12:20] ftp://digdist.bbsindex.com/uploads/UP_OTHER/00index.html?$gm1vhtv4 [12:21] http://www.steveire.com/myhardware.html [12:21] how can I enable graphics after installing links2 ?

[12:22] output of the lsusb is : http://pastebin.com/n9rAF8fs [12:22] varun, do you have a card on it? [12:22] http://www.steveire.com/see.png [12:22] mkanyicy, :yes i have a card in it [12:22] steveire_, So then you'd have to make sure you're running the proper NVidia driver (the recommended on) and run "nvidia-settings" [12:23] what card, varun ? [12:23] Micro sd card [12:23] How do I know which driver is in use? [12:23] mkanyicy, :it is micro sd card [12:23] nvidia-settings does give me a dialog. [12:24] hmm [12:24] steveire_: Why are you making this difficult for yourself? Just post the output of lspci|grep VGA [12:24] varun, and 'ls /dev/sd*' does not show it? [12:24] steveire_: Its a single line you can paste here [12:24] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] (rev a1) [12:24] soreau, Um...he gave a link already to his hardware... [12:24] So how do I know which driver is active?

When I wake up, I come to laptop, open the laptop lip, it don't shows graphic environment, neither a shell to I to can kill anything. Can you help look for where is the problem?

[12:51] josephseraos: if you put the laptop to sleep, does the light blink? [12:51] josephseraos: Possible screensaver issue..

[12:55] I still have no idea what Xinerama is [12:55] josephseraos: shutdown means to power the laptop off, sleep keeps minimum power on [12:55] steveire_: Not surprising from nvidia ;) [12:55] steveire_: its the feature of X to handle more then 1 monitor [12:55] josephseraos: how much ram and swap do you have? [12:55] josephseraos: Which graphics driver? [12:55] steveire_: i normally just have to run nvidia-settings - enable the proper xorg.conf changes. and restart the X server. Or perhaps reboot if the nvidia drivers just got installed. === FD|away is now known as ForceDestroyer [12:55] I think I'm now using twinview, and that means I can move windows between my laptop and the projector, which is fine [12:56] Gnea, Great.

[12:56] Dr_Willis: Not really, but .. [12:56] steveire_: twinview is 'nvidias special' thing. :) ATI has its own name for similer thing.

[12:57] josephseraos: you can't suspend beecause you have no swap. [12:57] Gnea, its a normal HD [12:57] josephseraos: Try putting this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarting X http://pastebin.com/K200BTxq [12:57] Gnea, I can suspend, but no hibernate [12:58] Ah, I can read again [12:58] josephseraos: my mistake, I meant it cannot hibernate [12:58] suspend - to ram.. Hibernate - to disk. using swap partition.. [12:58] My fonts went teeny-tiny as a result of all the messing [12:58] Gnea, greate [12:58] Gnea, great [12:58] Anyway, thanks for the help.

[13:43] jiltdil: clarify what you mean by 'title name' [13:43] but, it's always necessary to modify fstab? [13:43] i remember from older ubuntu version that there was a dialog to choose with login manager to use whenever one was installed or uninstalled [13:43] novitololo: if you explicit set a fs-entry there, yes [13:43] is there a way to manually run this? [13:43] tapas: you mean 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' ? [13:43] pow [13:44] novitololo: if 3rd field "auto" and no fs-specific options were given, no change is needed [13:44] Dr_Willis: thanks. [13:44] tapas: its better to use the service command these days. instead of the /etc/init.d/XXXX method [13:44] Dr_willis: just something like in /boot/grub/grub.conf in redhat to change the name redhat so in ubuntu where to edit [13:44] Dr_Willis: interestingly enough it still lists slim.. [13:44] dual boot need 2 swap partition? [13:44] Dr_Willis: i guess the post-remove script in the package is maybe broken? [13:44] alright [13:44] jiltdil: you dont edit grub.cfg by hand. You edit the proper files in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* [13:44] searching: dual boot what? 2 linux, no [13:45] yes 2 linux [13:45] searching: both can use same swap [13:45] I want to set up a drop box like server, is there any solution for me? [13:45] is there any other ebook library management than calibre? [13:45] Dr_willis:thanx [13:45] first desktop and second server [13:45] searching: 2 linux installs can share the same swap partition. but hibernate./susend may get broken doing that.

[13:48] Is there anyway to extract a tar file and somehow keep track of where it places folders and files so when I no longer want them I can remove them all in one fell swoop, like a def package? [13:48] deb* [13:49] ariel_: df -h [13:49] where can I to know what time I turned on my laptop? [13:50] iceroot, t/y was looking for it in the /mnt but it put it in the /media [13:50] josephseraos: type "uptime" [13:51] rypervenche: normally a tar archive extracts to a single directory. you then put things where you want. [13:51] Tamago, 09:51:38 up 1:23, 2 users, load average: 1.10, 0.91, 0.78 [13:52] 1h23min? [13:52] rypervenche: i would be very leary of tar archives that want to extract to / or other system dirs.

Is there anyway? [13:52] bob__: you mount it somewhere. then access its mount pount [13:52] bob__: mount it first [13:53] how do I access my windows files from ubuntu?

(your start apps preferances) [13:59] keksi: Telling us what the error is would help [14:00] Dr_Willis, i need it to start when the user logs in because i need the encrypted home folder [14:01] raven: you normally make the script executable.. then you dont need the 'sh foo.sh' just 'foo.sh' [14:01] Dr_Willis: I got the game to work by extracting it to the / folder, but I would rather have a nicer way of doing it. I'm going to have to manually delete each folder/file when/if I no longer want it. I couldn't get the source code to compile either. Not sure if it is my fault or not. [14:01] Dr_Willis, that could be the problem ill try that [14:01] ah, I think I now know why DeVeDe faled to create the dvd structure. I just noticed that the file was too big. IT was 116% of the DVD's size. But well, it should have just said in the first place instead of failing after an hour of converting [14:01] iceroot, nice..

[15:21] bonjoyee, Im also seeing a User USERNAME from amon not allowed because not listed in AllowUsers [15:21] FunnyLookinHat, googling tells me that firestarter may actually block that connection. Could you flush your iptables and keep firestarter disable, then try again to connect? [15:21] s3r3n1t7, VERY strange - I can SSH into a box on my local network, but not outside.... [15:22] s3r3n1t7, sure one sec [15:22] hi [15:22] do i need a swap partition?

[15:24] larious: why is it so..the link i gave works just perfectly for me... [15:24] s3r3n1t7, I just did sudo iptables --flush, and now it can't resolve anything...

[15:25] bonjoyee: [15:25] FunnyLookinHat, you'll also need to reset the default permissions on the seperate chains [15:25] s3r3n1t7, as you would expect: http://pastebin.com/xXKrwrxG [15:26] FunnyLookinHat, and you can't connect to a box outside of your network?

[15:26] s3r3n1t7, yeah still no dice. [15:26] tehnef, Thnx [15:26] larious: there are for 32 and 64 bit..just look carefully...

Server01 will log in with username: fleet and with password: gloop - the same will apply for Server02) additionally, they will all have the same mapped drives from our file server.

[16:27] Jasonn, try 'sudo -s' [16:27] Jasonn: add it to your rc levels or add it in /etc/rc.local [16:27] Jasonn, that will give you a root shell just for that bash session [16:27] ActionParsnip:ok , thanx [16:27] I want my linux connected to the Internet without login.but when I log in .

[16:33] i would look into undoing the interfaces config with a login script so you can use networkmanager once you login [16:33] there might be a better way, but i don't know it [16:33] jiltdil: https://launchpad.net/~cpyarger/+archive/testing?field.series_filter=maverick has it available for maverick but it says Jaunty. Give it a try [16:33] jiltdil, it should offer the same security as yahoo, SSL im pretty sure. [16:34] hello [16:34] ActionParsnip:thanx [16:34] leg3nd:thanx [16:34] empathy stores login info in your keyring, does it not [16:34] mongy, yea it does [16:35] mrg@mrg-desktop ~ $ lsb_release -d => Ubuntu 10.4 [16:35] ActionParsnip: why ? is there any way? === Jasonn is now known as its_fun === its_fun is now known as Jasonn [16:36] mintux, what are you trying to do? [16:36] g [16:37] mongy:does empathy secure then [16:37] jiltdil, what do you mean "secure" [16:37] jiltdil, does it encrypt your keyring? if you tell it to yes, does it use SSL? if you tell it to yes [16:38] mkanyicy:I want my system automatically connect to interntet and download from the list using wget.but I have 2 connection that I want when im using desktop I can choose which connection to connect .if I set /etc/netwrok/interfaces the network manager applet doesn't show. if I use default network manager . I can not connect to Internet automatically [16:38] leg3nd:ok [16:38] guys [16:38] about the netcat thing [16:38] netcat-openbsd uses -l while netcat-traditional uses -l -p etc etc [16:39] ThisDB, yup [16:39] mintux, why dont you allow your network to be always connected? [16:40] mkanyicy: from /etc/netwrok/interfaces ? [16:40] mintux, using the interfaces file discourages nm-applet [16:41] mintux: not sure, I use wicd ad define networking there [16:41] ubntu [16:41] mintux, so what exactly is your problem, nm-applet, the interfaces file or wget? [16:41] ActionParsnip, you rock wicd over network-manager? [16:41] over meaning replacing [16:42] leg3nd: for me yes, I don't use 3G so I choose wicd as it's lighter, its great on servers as there is wicd-curses for CLI based config :) [16:42] how to use the QQ for os ? [16:42] mkanyicy: because I have two Internet connection that when one of them has problem I switched another easily by just one click using nm-applet . so I need both of them. means when my computer doesn't login use /etc/network/interfaces and when login use nm-applet [16:42] ActionParsnip:is it a application ? [16:42] ActionParsnip, ahh yea, i never messed with the curses, my servers just go with the interfaces file. Ill have to take a look at the curses cli cfg. [16:42] mintux: yes [16:43] I'll try it [16:43] mintux: write a script that runs at login to comment the stuff out of your /etc/network/interfaces [16:43] ActionParsnip, can you use more then 2 interfaces on the newer WICDs? [16:43] kuxuanfeixue: do you mean this: http://blog.iany.me/2009/05/qq-ubuntu-904-64bit/ [16:43] leg3nd: sure can [16:43] probably have to restart networking too [16:43] yes .. [16:43] kuxuanfeixue: the deb file is a 32bit deb [16:43] NotALamer: are sure when comment on that time doesn't need to reboot? [16:44] you will probably have to have it restart networking too [16:44] leg3nd: it is good to try a few apps for your tasks rather than just accepting the default apps [16:44] definitely don't need to reboot [16:44] hmm [16:44] it's good idea [16:44] I'll try it [16:44] thanks [16:44] i don`t know~! [16:44] ActionParsnip, yea i was introduced to WICD with backtrack, but never messed with it for my servers. Sounds nice though. [16:45] do you know any sed or anything? i'm sure someone can help if you don't [16:45] leg3nd: there is wifi-radar too [16:45] actually i like perl -pi -e better [16:45] NotALamer, what are you trying to parse? [16:46] i'm telling mintux that he should write a script to comment lines out of network/interfaces and restart networking [16:46] ActionParsnip, anything special about it? [16:46] so he can have his computer connect when it boots, but still let him use nm-applet when he logs in [16:46] what difference does special effects and normal effecs have on battery life [16:46] leg3nd: not sure, but it exists [16:46] mrdeb: more fluff needs more CPU time, ergo, less battery life [16:46] ActionParsnip, lol yea i can see it here in repos, mabey ill mess with it [16:49] How can the value of a variable exported can be checked, like CLASSPATH [16:49] mintux i think i found a better way [16:49] you can configure nm to manage interfaces that are defined in network/interfaces [16:49] halin, echo it? [16:49] it just doesn't do it by default [16:49] NotALamer: how [16:50] halin, echo $CLASSPATH [16:50] http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager [16:50] 'enabling interface management' [16:50] ActionParsnip, Do you know if its possible to customize a 64bit live CD from a 32bit host?

[16:51] hmmm [16:51] ActionParsnip, its a 10.10 x64 ISO from a 10.10 x32 install [16:51] leg3nd: not sure, I know a chroot will do it. [16:51] !chroot [16:51] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory.

[16:55] Unearthly: its worth a test, although torrents help get a good image [16:56] newest ubuntu [16:56] Right, torrents do their own hashing. I created the USB on Windows using Unetbootin.

[17:51] theos: yes [17:52] uh [17:52] hi, I'm confused by the information 'fsck -fnv' gives me when I check my online file system. Am I correct in assuming that this information about unused inodes and such is useless because the file system is online? [17:52] theos: where is this bin file located? [17:52] ruan, its on the desktop [17:52] like before...I didn`t make any change in it [17:52] I`ll copy it in codepad [17:52] theos: how do you open the .bin files? ./file.bin?

[17:54] Don't know what tool to install in synaptic tho [17:54] e0: sound recorder works [17:54] theos: Open the file with a text editor and see if there's something wrong inside.

[18:50] snake_, a gui is useless when you are managing 20 headless servers ;-) [18:51] gui takes resources [18:51] smw, i had already modified /etc/modules but still after rebooting the number of loop devices is the same! [18:52] xnixan, sorry, I have no idea how it works. However, is there a reason you are mounting >8 images? [18:52] xnixan: maybe you could ask in #ubuntu-server [18:53] In Ubuntu 10.04 my wireless connected itself to my network without me entering a password. How? My local login password and WPA password happen to be the same right now, does Ubuntu just remember and try that password?

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [19:02] I enable blur effect on Compiz. It works perfect on my system like everything. But the blur effect also is effective for videos (like adobe flash, when i play also with VLC any video). How can we disable blur for videos ? [19:02] snake_, fyi, the setting you want is not in simple-ccsm [19:02] i used unetbootin and when i tried to boot into linux, it said "windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem" [19:03] raiko_lasma: check ccsm - see if it has some exceptions settings. [19:03] cg2916: used unetbootin how exactly? [19:03] edbian, I know, I have ccsm, but I never saw an option about icons, but I will play around with it(the settings), as the others said. [19:03] Dr_Willis: I look for it but i did not see anythink about that... [19:04] Dr_Willis: i used it from windows [19:04] snake_, I'm not sure if you can opaque the icons. I (like many) keep my desktop clear of icons [19:04] cg2916: You used unetbootin in windows. to make a bootable flash drive. and now windows dosent boot? [19:04] raiko_lasma: it is possible that compiz isn't applying the blur effect as much as your system just ins't able to handle the compiz effects and video playback at the same time [19:04] 999 [19:04] hey everyone... i need to reduce my laptop noise and increase battery life in ubuntu any suggestions???? [19:04] raiko_lasma: I have always found that desktop effects and video playback just don't mix well on my systems [19:04] Dr_Willis: no, it said that with unetbootin, you didn't need a removeable device like a usb drive === cc_ is now known as wtCoder [19:05] cg2916: i dont use unetbootin that way. You may need to be checking the unetbootin homepage/forums/support channel. [19:05] yeah no setting for icons.. [19:05] cg2916, True. I have done it. Ubuntu does not like it very much.

[19:06] clarification: the network manager starts at boot, but my net connection is not enabled by default. [19:06] cg2916, which part of it [19:07] ThinkT510, I did :P That's what I was just saying basically. [19:07] edbain: automatic [19:07] Dr_Willis, I noticed the nvidia driver packages cover the same cards. What is the difference between 179 and current? [19:07] edbian: no idea really. They could be the same package. [19:07] ThinkT510, would I tell you there is no coats in the closet, without looking? [19:07] just_some_dude: check if "connect automatically" is checked.. [19:07] cg2916, unetbootin ? or wubi? [19:07] Dr_Willis, mm, thanks [19:07] edbian: they are different builds... basically current is the most recently released driver package where 179 is a previous driver package [19:07] edbian: unetbootin [19:08] tem algum brazuca ai? [19:08] i searched the forums but no avail :( [19:08] bonjoyee: it is checked [19:08] cg2916: if you were installing ubuntu to a real hard drive. it would of been best to do a normal install and not use unetbootin at all.

[19:08] Dr_Willis: so i should use wubi? [19:08] cg2916: last i checked the unetbootin->hd install was a 'live cd' clone type nstall. so was not very flexiable. [19:09] Dr_willis: ok [19:09] cg2916: I dont use wubi. If i want to install ubuntu.. I install it.. in the 'normal way' [19:09] cg2916, You just change it from USB device to your hdd.

[19:25] pragmaticenigma: safe unmount and eject [19:25] userdel: what file system is the drive formatted to? [19:25] Newb4Life: if you like "graphical" xchat, if you like being able to screen your chat window with terminals.. irssi :) [19:25] pragmaticenigma: fat32 [19:26] Thanks. I'm using xchat now, but its nowhere near as good as Xchat2 for windows. [19:26] if you run 'ls -l' on the drives contents what are the file permissions set to? and whom does it say the owner of the files are? [19:26] userdel: are you syncing before you yank the usb drive out?

[19:27] Newb4Life: irssi is better than xchat functionally, but has a learning curve.. imho [19:27] Newb4Life: i perfer weechat to irssi. :) but it depends on your needs [19:28] bill_: Suggestion is to burn the photos to CD and not store them on the computer [19:28] erUSUL How do you get xchat to display the list of users in the chat? [19:28] pragmaticenigma: drwx------ 2 user1 user1 16384 1970-01-01 05:30 K [19:28] Newb4Life: they should be on the left hand side. theres a setting to show/hide that listing. [19:28] Newb4Life: install plain xchat instead of xchat-gnome [19:28] Newb4Life: or on the right hand side. :) i forget where. [19:28] I only see the list of servers and rooms I am in. [19:28] New4life: go to view > user list [19:28] mindmaster : i am doing a safe eject [19:28] Newb4Life: yea. xchat-gnome is a bit brain dead. use normal xchat [19:28] Ah, ok [19:28] lol [19:28] User listings are often useless in huge channels like this one. === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [19:29] does anyone know how to install java applet?

[19:48] gmachine_24: only difference between desktop and server is the length of how long the software is maintained for each release they both run the same actually "software" [19:49] bonjoyee, ok, thanks. I can do CLI. To do degree. [19:49] mindmaster, so . . . is the server maintained longer or does it vary with each release? [19:49] gmachine_24: if you are not running a monitor on it though use the server version [19:49] Hi there, got a regression bug for my "Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300", which doesn't work anymore in natty. The hardwareswitch only activates the bluetooth part and not the wireless, which also shows in iwconfig (ESSID: any/off). Any hints? [19:50] gmachine_24: normal releases 3 years, lts 5 years!! [19:50] !natty | TheTinyToon [19:50] TheTinyToon: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [19:50] thanks, ThinkT510 [19:50] mindmaster, yes, I was wondering about that as well. I have a comp that I have used as a music server using slimserver of squeezebox whatever it is called now .. and that just runs an old version of Ubuntu [19:51] bonjoyee, ok, thanks. I just have so many hard drives scattered around home on so many difference computers that it's crazy to keep up with what is where [19:51] which program can manage partitions in the shell??? [19:51] gmachine_24: what bonjoyee said... for most home hackers the pick doesn't really matter.. the other difference is that servers are compiled with PAE (>4GB support) on the 32bit client.. that's really the only difference.. if you are running 64bit it's the same either way really [19:51] opiate: parted or fdisk or cfdisk [19:51] opiate: cfdisk [19:51] ty [19:51] mindmaster, ok, again, thanks. [19:52] I doubt you will run that version of the OS for 3 years w/o an upgrade you are likely to upgrade with the major releases [19:53] so, I am thinking of building this with some older hardware - like Athlon 2.3 Ghz and 1.5GB of ram . . . and using a 7-10 bay case ... with sata plug in pci cards.... but maybe I should just build a rig out of new hardware? [19:53] mindmaster: if its a server i would not bother upgrading until eol !! ... [19:54] gmachine_24: thats perfect for a file server...i dont think you need a new machine... [19:54] bonjoyee: you are likely to "have" to do so though because of feature upgrades in that period time.. undoubtedly there will be something you need to have from those upgrades :) [19:54] mindmaster: on a cli based server? [19:54] hi I have 500 screens in my ubuntu, is there a way to killall screens?

I see all these nutty NAS things sold by Iomega or whomever which cost a small fortune.... [19:56] and with hd prices still plummeting there's no sense in buying more than a couple of drives to start, right? like 2 2TB drives I figure [19:56] bonjoyee: that what seem like overkill to me for a headless install, it's more than i use for desktop [19:56] mindmaster, thanks. [19:56] I have a bout 500 screens when I do this: screen -list is there a way for me to screen kill for all of them? [19:56] gmachine_24: you could invest in some gigabit ethernet cards/routers...if other devices are gigabit.. [19:56] wow, you guys have been great. [19:57] bonjoyee, yeah, I was reading up a big and the gigabit cards and routers seem like a really good idea. [19:57] and then one kick*** UPS [19:57] I put the *** in [19:57] I'm trying to do a rdiff-backup full backup, first one to this nas, and as soon as it starts I get lines like UpdateError bin/bzcat Updated mirror temp file /mnt/nas/bin/rdiff-backup.tmp.5 does not match source [19:57] ...why?

[20:03] Newbie problem: I seem to have broken the association between Yelp and the documents it should read. (Likely cause: I messed with a file in usr/share/gnome/help/internet/C.) And so the Help documents no longer open. (More precisely, I can get the top level of Help docs but can't go deeper.) I gather I can go to the file I messed up, click "open with," add a "custom command," add "Yelp ghelp" as the right application to use, and have that appl [20:03] y to all similar files. No? But it seems some further argument is needed. That's what I need help with. What should I specify in "open with"? (Or where should I look for that info?)

[20:10] then just copy the few things I need (my .files mostly) and put it all back [20:10] gmachine_24: that is the problem: i dont want to copy the files. i just want to use the old /home folder as my new one. (and delete all the other old system stuff) [20:10] gmachine_24: and the /home folder should stay on the old hdd [20:10] opiate, I think that is way too much trouble. mindmaster's tarball idea is good [20:10] opiate: is the home on a separate partition or is it all on the same one?

I may have had to reinstall packages :) [20:11] is this what you mean? [20:12] so, I wonder about this ..... because there are so many hidden files in the /home folder ... how do I deal with that?

[20:13] i treid [20:13] yea, reinstalling gdm is a much better option [20:13] opiate, well, the one thing is you want to be sure to have a safe back up of your /home stuff [20:13] i tried reinstalling gdm [20:13] i tried reinstalling ubuntu-dektop [20:13] r3m: mostly license issues [20:13] opiate, separate from everything else [20:14] opiate: first of all, what do you mean by "breaking gdm", second what is wrong with it really ?

[20:22] Moreover, now I have an unbootable hard disk, and yes, the CD check passes >:( [20:23] Promethes: i'd like to know the answer to that too, sorry i'm not that helpful :) [20:23] ThinkT510: ok [20:24] however, you can watch movies/TV from amazon because - for better or worse - they use flash [20:24] anyone knows how to enable disk check information on boot time when plymouth is disabled in lucid? Now, with disabled plymouth i don't see disk check information when it occurs, which is very annoying [20:25] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth [20:25] watching a movie right now, browsing webages, irc chat and running another terminal on a little powerpc64 playstation [20:25] Sik do you have the exact error === adrian is now known as Guest23448 [20:26] benzaldehyde, interesting name [20:26] gmachine_24: bus I/O error in the console (when clicking the arrow to show stdout/stderr) [20:26] does anyone know how to change to a 1080p resolution? The max the default goes to is 1600x1200 [20:26] Then it throws me some error that dpkg failed to set up... can't copy it exactly due to, well, having to reboot >_> [20:26] I'm trying to setup a two interface shorewall on ubuntu. I've read a few tutorials, and man pages on the various files, including 'masq' - The tutorial says that if im using eth0, than I don't need to modify the sample file (which it provides a broken link to). I can't see if their sample is identical to the one I'm working out of, which is totally blank. [20:27] Is anyone familiar with shorewall, and whether I do infact have to add the eth0 line under the masq file if I'm doing NAT? [20:27] damn [20:28] Hi, when I tried to mount my windows partition an authentication window appeared, which usually doesn't happen. I entered my password, and the authentication window doesn't respons to the buttons. I can expand/collapse the details section. When I try to mount the partition again it shows the error on the right: http://imgur.com/SQkME [20:29] sec PeterNL [20:29] creating a new wireless network is taking forever... literally... why?

[20:29] erUSUL, I found the samples, and copied them no problem [20:29] userdel, can't you just plug it in? [20:29] !cp [20:29] I went to edit the masq file though, and it's got no entries for interfaces [20:30] So yeah, my problem is: Ubuntu installer copies everything to hard disk, downloads stuff, then it panics with some error message involving dpkg (is it crashing?). Last time it crashed when downloading language packages. [20:30] It was just kind of unclear in the tutorial whether I actually have to add it. [20:30] Hello [20:30] hello [20:30] ask a question. stop saying hello. [20:31] PeterNL, Are you an administrator on this system? If your user isn't an administrator account it will not accept your password to allow the drive to mount.

It's like dpkg is crashing or something, I get it while it's downloading packages [20:41] Sik: If the system is otherwise stable, I wouldn't worry too much [20:41] Also occassionally the LiveCD does it too, at which point I have to reboot the system because it won't load new processes anymore >_> (and yes, the CD check passes) [20:42] On DELL Inspirion N4010, I always got the error: drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module! intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled.

[20:44] Since it fails at the download stage (all files get copied) [20:44] In fact, if all files are in the hard disk already, isn't there any way to make that bootable?

[20:45] Sik: There is probably a way to do get your system to boot, but it's going to take less time to start from scratch [20:46] sporkboy: typically a wifi repeater to work is going to need wifi adapters [20:47] pragmaticenigma, is there a possible way to do it with just one, though? all I can find is one for bridging a wired and wireless network. [20:47] pragmaticenigma: wifi is a thorn [20:47] Heh, dirextx/wine/fglrx/X crashed, so I got my reboot after all ;) [20:47] sporkboy: yes, there is a way, but your going to have better results with two [20:48] PeterNL: ctrl-alt-print-K [20:48] pragmaticenigma, just trying to get stuff working for now with what I have, so I'm okay with sub-optimal. I think it'll be better than having to leave my phone in the window ;) can you point me in the right direction? [20:48] sporkboy: Wifi can only communicate with one device at a time, if you are trying to put all your communications through one wifi adaptor your going to have a huge performance hit [20:49] wonderworld: nope. Not with fglrx. It really needs a reboot [20:49] sporkboy: I really have never done anything that advanced before personally [20:49] wonderworld: what's that do? [20:49] I guess restart x [20:49] yep [20:49] but service restart gdm won't even work [20:50] wonderworld: PeterNL : i did not know that [20:50] even sudo shutdown won't [20:50] sporkboy: when I build "repeaters" I've used a Network Gaming adaptor and a standard router [20:50] installing new version over really old version.

[21:21] ptoto: Sometimes there is a little square of what looks like doublesided tape on bottom of heatsink, which is the factory equiv of paste [21:21] I have kubuntu-CD and ubuntu-DVD, and I want to use KDE, can I install kubuntu from kubuntu-CD and then install other packages from ubuntu-DVD, is it harmless? [21:21] pragmaticenigma, nice point. let me have a look [21:21] Osmodivs: 3 I was referring to, it will likely not be straightforward to do so in 11.04 (though for 2.32 it is), but in the future I assume you will be able to switch between g3 and unity as you would kde/gnome today [21:21] benzaldehyde: what do you mean exactly? [21:21] elkng: yes, you could do that, but why not install from the DVD? [21:21] elkng: once you have installed your system you know longer should need the disks and using the package managers be able to install what software you need from the repos [21:22] genii-around, actually there seems to be some grey thing... [21:22] you no longer* [21:22] say I have two disks in ReiserFS. And I create a raid. Can I change its filesystem to ext4 right? [21:22] didn t notice [21:22] *raid 0 === PicCard_Away is now known as PicCard [21:22] ptoto: the thermal paste that ships with the fan is sometimes preapplied to the bottom of the heat sink already [21:22] ptoto: sometimes the paste comes pre-applied to the bottom [21:22] ptoto: protected by a film or a casing [21:22] hachre, ok, so it is there. i am stupid [21:22] didn t check it. thanks guys [21:22] pragmaticenigma: i bet thermal paste can be suplimated with one dollar brake grease packets from an auto store [21:22] ptoto: np ;) [21:22] arand, Yeah, I guess everything will be back yo normal once Canonical and Gnome sit down and talk about it 7 months from now === PicCard is now known as PicCard_Away [21:22] novitololo: you could reformat the mounted raid as ext4 [21:23] hi [21:23] benzaldehyde: I never tried that and honestly wouldn't recommend it [21:23] phoenixsampras: i've handled both materials and i could swear they are the same element [21:23] ok [21:24] teach me please ! how to use terminal!!?? [21:24] just checkin... can u guys see this [21:24] benzaldehyde: Grease is a lubricant and most lubricants break down when heat is applied (one of the reasons you change the oil in your car) [21:24] yes k_89 [21:24] novitololo, thnx [21:24] wonderworld: I want to use KDE from kubuntu [21:24] Rb_: what do you mean [21:25] Rb_: that's not so simple to explain [21:25] benzaldehyde: thermal paste has metal empregnated so it conducts the heat [21:25] novitololo: raid drives must be partitioned with a "Linux Raid" partition anyway. when mounted, you get a logical drive which can be formated any way you like [21:25] pragmaticenigma: brake grease goes inbetween a metal rotor and piston that stops a 2 ton vehicle [21:25] Rb_: try google perhaps? [21:25] pragmaticenigma: i have never heard of one needing to replace brake grease due to over heating [21:26] !google | Fre [21:26] Fre: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:26] benzaldehyde: you would if you did a lot of brake stands [21:26] so what should i have to type in google for it ?

In fact, it wasn't there to begin with when I installed it. Unity 2d has it however. Is there a way for me to get it back? [21:33] pragmaticenigma: both are silicone based [21:34] MPX, you might want to ask that on #ubuntu+1 [21:34] I don't think Unity is that bad, but I absolutely don't want the bar on the side for example... Also I can't seem to be able to move Icons around within it - I don't know if this is a bug or not... And I don't like that Unity doesn't use the top menubar as a global menu bar for the selected app... [21:34] Sonne: Thank you.

However, I'd like to copy /home from the system partition to another partition. Booting from 11.04 LiveCD doesn't let me copy /home because I don't have read permissions. Should I try from the CLI? Been reading several websites about this procedure, still unsure of the steps. Can anyone help? [21:57] fds2: Do you have something to copy the /home onto? [21:57] Space_Cadet: is the computer still responsive to key presses (like cpas lock turning on and off) [21:57] fds2: is the other partition already created and working? [21:57] fds2: is the partition with your /home directory mounted already? [21:58] hachre: I've a partition ready to rec'v /home [21:58] the computer isn't locked, the update seems to me. I can do everything on the computer [21:58] me = be [21:58] fds2: so all you have to do is mount the old system partition, mount the partition where you wanna have it and do sudo cp /oldstuff/home /newstuff/ -Rpv [21:59] wonderworld: yes, target partition is mounted and readable [21:59] Space_Cadet: something must have gone wrong during the update... I'm not sure what to do at that point [21:59] fds2: and the spurce partition? did you see the /home folder? [21:59] prag: ok thanks :) [21:59] Space_Cadet: killing the update could have unfortunate consequences [21:59] wonderworld: yes, I see /home in source partition [21:59] Space_Cadet: This isn't a WUBI install is it? [22:00] fds2: then what's the problem ;D [22:00] hachre: those switches will carry all permission over? [22:00] prag: could I not kill and attempt to retry? [22:00] fds2: ok. open up a terminal after booting from the life CD and try sudo nautilus. use that nautilus window to make the file operations [22:00] wubi? [22:00] fds2: -R is to also copy subdirectories, -p is for permissions and -v is to see each file that is being copied on the console [22:00] fds2: don't sudo nautilus!!

[22:02] !gksudo | wonderworld fds2 [22:02] wonderworld fds2: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[22:02] Hey, does someone know a good program to burn an iso to a DVD? [22:02] graphical [22:02] fds2: k, you heared it. try "gksudo nautilus" [22:02] I want to burn a couple of OS's to a DVD, and I've only ever done it in windows x.x how would I do it in ubuntu? [22:03] Space_Cadet: that one I'm not sure... you could check out your process manager to see if you can spot it ther [22:03] prag: ok thanks [22:03] hachre: how do I specify partitions from CLI? /media/name? or /mnt? [22:03] fds2: that depends on where it is mounted, you can check by running "mount" [22:03] Moleboy_: right click the iso -> write to disc. or open up brasero and proceed from there [22:04] Axlin: Thanks a ton, I'm new to Ubuntu =3 I appreciate it [22:04] np :) [22:04] my external keeps unmounting by itself. /media/myExternalName becomes an empty folder.

Any idea why? (Ooo was closed during install and i opened Ooo after install) [22:06] hachre: ok. I see "/dev/sda5 on media/ubuntu" (which is where /home is) and "/dev/sda8 in /media/general". Do I use dev or media? Does it matter? [22:06] jtannenbaum: It's possible the drive has a power saving mode when it is not in use and causes ubuntu to think the drive has been removed from the system [22:06] i am trying to install ubuntu via wubi [22:06] how can i disable it or change the combination? [22:06] and i get an error, about permission denied? [22:06] pragmaticenigma: ah.. is there usually a way to stop that? [22:06] its windows xp [22:06] fds2: the first part is the device, you don't want that - you want the mount point, so you would now do "cp /media/ubuntu/home /media/general -Rpv" [22:06] jtannenbaum: If there is, it's probably a windows program to do it with [22:06] i can see its a common error, by searching it on the internet [22:07] but i havent found any good conclusions [22:07] Please clarify: ubuntu server vs ubuntu enterprise cloud [22:07] so anyone have a solution for it? [22:08] wow, a lot of traffic here [22:08] mc_teo: did you hibernate windows before installing WUBI?

[22:12] Space_Cadet: I doubt nvidia drivers would cause a problem [22:12] pragmaticenigma: nope [22:12] well i have daemon tools [22:12] Please clarify: ubuntu server vs ubuntu enterprise cloud [22:12] but i really doubt it has anything to do with it [22:12] jeffreyf: who are you asking? [22:13] prag: ok thanks. I am just getting back in to Ubuntu, been a few years since the last time i used. Kicking off the rust :P [22:13] well it could have that some anti-security on in the background [22:13] mc_teo: are you mounting the ISO with daemon tools? === alzyhelper is now known as missbubbies [22:13] pragmaticenigma: anyone.

[22:26] im not sure, that should be on the actual stick right ? or will i find that info on the computer it is connected to ? [22:26] hey [22:26] Hjalp, it wolud be on the stick [22:26] mc_teo: I think it's safer to have the two on seperate partitions... [22:27] pragmaticenigma: How do I boot to CLI?

[22:28] pragmaticenigma: boot to it.......going to update my system before editing grub with nomodeset [22:29] pragmaticenigma: it must be something like the cd is bad or something [22:29] alls i can see is the name and model etcI have "Huawei Mobile Broadband" HSPA+ USB Slider" and "Model:E1820" [22:29] hmmm, now that i think of it, its a dvd [22:29] a dvd-r [22:29] I have a question about Skype. I have Jolicloud OS. My problem is that the mic is not working. The mic works for everything else. Any fixes? [22:29] Hjalp, Have you installled usb_modeswitch? [22:29] Space_Cadet: there really isn't a good way to do that... unlike other distros, you may not have networking when booting to CLI [22:29] raheela: We don't support Jolicloud here, please use their support. [22:29] jolicloud told me to come here [22:30] lol [22:30] no but thats the problem i cant becuase i only have Mobiel broadband so i cant get online with linux i am using windows with the mobile broadband to talk to you now [22:30] hachre: Ihachre typo'd mean to respond to you. :) [22:30] wouldnt 10.4 have usbmodeswitch already installed ? [22:30] Space_Cadet: you can try booting to recovery mode [22:31] my problem is, if I do not add nomodeset my monitor goes to sleep on boot. But then it works fine after I install nvidia restricted drivers [22:31] i could maybe download it from a website and move it across with my memory stick and install though ? [22:31] Space_Cadet: you can add that option manually each time while booting grub [22:31] Space_Cadet: to get into a useable system where you can edit it [22:31] Hjalp, that would be the way I would do it. I was looking for the .deb [22:32] Guys i am having a serious issue with my x server [22:32] Space_Cadet: when grub shows up counting down, hit e and add nomodeset at the end ofthe line [22:32] hachre: do I still hold shift to get to that part? [22:32] Space_Cadet: then enter once or twice to start booting [22:32] ohh ok, thank you :) [22:32] its totally stuck in 640x480 resolution, and no matter if i edit xorg.conf, save, etc, it doesnt change the resolution [22:32] Space_Cadet: and it will have the kernel parameter set for that one boot [22:32] pragmaticenigma: can i just boot to dvd and use gpart? [22:32] hachre: ahh ok many thanks [22:33] Hjalp, It isn't installed on my 10.10 laptop.... [22:33] mc_teo: You can boot using the DVD, it will give you the option to specify partitions before you install, just make sure you give both OS's ample room on the harddrive [22:33] Space_Cadet: np :) [22:33] and of course, i've tried saving it under sudo, without, and all manners of using root and normal user account. i've tried different ubuntu programs to try to force it even, and had to eventually uninstall those, which didnt work [22:33] its totally stuck in 640x480 resolution, and no matter if i edit xorg.conf, save, etc, it doesnt change the resolution [22:33] oh :s [22:34] its being a fucking prick today [22:34] stuck [22:34] excuse my language.

[22:40] i used chmod 0640 , should be the same? [22:40] Jolz: directories need +x [22:40] Jolz: so you can enter them [22:40] Can someone assist me in the workings of Brasero Disk Burner? [22:40] Jolz: your group flags are missing the x [22:40] it thought that's for searching. didn't know that meant listing. i'll try that [22:41] Jolz: you need to think of it like execution, when you cd into a directory [22:41] Afrix, you here? you recommended brasero to me before. [22:41] Nevermind, got it. [22:41] Jolz: with a pure R you can ls things inside if you know their name but you can't list or cd into it [22:41] i get another error now :/ "ERROR: Dependency is not satisfiable: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2)" [22:41] Does anybody know a way to hide menubars in gtk apps without using globalmenu?

[22:44] before we take that any further though, is the USB modeswitch definatly the reason why the network i created when i used "Edit Connections" and went to the broadband tab wont show on my desktop network manager to connect ? [22:44] because i have created the network it just wont display in my network manager for me to connect to [22:44] I need a way to rid my gtk apps of their menubars without using globalmenu. This seems to specific of a search to get results from google. anybody know? [22:44] Hjalp, is there any way to get the netbook on the net? (Wifi at a library?, copper wire) it would be much easier.

[23:19] fds2: no i mean to cp [23:19] djVickx: the first secret to earning money is not being a douche bag, then.. and only then can you earn money.. but then you could earn money doing anything [23:20] fds2: sudo cp /media/ubuntu/home /media/general -Rpv? [23:20] !ot | djVickx [23:20] djVickx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:20] ac7ss:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/589075/ and still goes on [23:20] hachre: whats the syntax to install any updates? sudo apt-get ? [23:20] be careful with what you type on here. everything is visible by more than 1000 people === Seven is now known as JadeWarrior [23:21] Space_Cadet: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === JadeWarrior is now known as rcp === rcp is now known as JadeWarrior [23:21] Space_Cadet: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:22] cognac-gamma, (Please put a space before the pastbin address. makes it easier.) You cannot connect with "http://192.168.0.1" [23:22] ac7ss: well this was a ping from terminal through wired [23:22] hachre: ty.......turns out it didn't upgrade kernal on last upgrade. hoping this isn't the part that hangs. [23:22] hachre: yes [23:22] can you ping the outside world? (google.com) [23:22] fds2: very odd, that shouldn't happen [23:22] fds2: are you sure the destination has space left? [23:23] cognac-gamma, I guess that was a dumb question, you are using that computer right? [23:24] ac7ss: yes now plugged, but wanna use the wireless [23:24] Space_Cadet : witch kernel do you use type uname -r to find out [23:24] cognac-gamma, Many routers can lock the control panel to only access from the wired side. [23:24] cognac-gamma, you don't get any connection with wireless? [23:25] how can I use ssh with x11 (like vnc) [23:25] cognac-gamma, are you using the proper encryption key? that is a secure wireless node. [23:25] where can i find a repository for Libreoffice in ubuntu for 64 bit users im using 10.10 [23:25] zvacet: 2.6.35-22-generic.......just updated to 35-28 [23:25] sup? I added the backtrack archive repos and was wondering is there was a package that will install the standard backtrack tools [23:25] runawayhacker: Ask backtrack support: #backtrack-linux [23:26] tbruff13: ppa:libreoffice/ppa [23:26] those are caled...? metapackages I think? [23:26] Space_Cadet: that is latest in repos [23:26] hello, good night, one question/problem, i'm trying to launch a little script to disable the graphic card, to can work with itel card, it works without problem, but i have to launch it as root, any "way" to launch it in "easy way"? [23:26] runawayhacker: We don't support backtrack here. [23:26] hachre: 20gb free. Does filesystem type matter? Src = ext4, dest = ntfs [23:26] Axlin, just enter this into the other sources box [23:26] meta package is a package of package [23:26] Pici: backtrack channel was down. it is #backtrack-linux, right? [23:26] fds2: oh yes it does [23:26] runawayhacker, dude, you just answered my life problems (not really, but I've wanted to know how to get backtrack on ubuntu for a while) [23:27] fds2: NTFS doesnt support several unix things, you cant securely copy it on there like that [23:27] fds2: i recommend using tar to create an archive of it [23:27] ac7ss: i think so, all other win machines using it in the flat with the same.. [23:27] fds2: you can store the archive on the ntfs [23:27] runawayhacker: A channel can't be 'down'. You need to register to talk there. [23:27] @ snake_ lol, yeah. Backtrack doen't like my HP mini 1000 [23:27] tbruff13: just copy and paste this into the terminal to add the repository and replace openoffice with libreoffice: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gtk [23:27] !register > runawayhacker [23:27] runawayhacker, please see my private message [23:27] runawayhacker, exactly, doesn't like my dell mini either. [23:27] fds2: tar cvf /media/generic/homebackup.tar /media/ubuntu/home [23:27] Axlin, thanks [23:27] hi, is someone here running windows 7 at the moment? [23:28] fds2: and later to extract it you will use tar xvf /media/generic/homebackup.tar /media/ubuntu [23:28] oh wait [23:28] fds2: and later to extract it you will use tar xvpf /media/generic/homebackup.tar /media/ubuntu [23:28] that is correct [23:28] hachre: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] the p is important on extraction [23:28] hey Axlin this will work on 64 bit systems right [23:29] well, guess I'll go somewhere else then.. thanks anyways [23:29] tbruff13: yep [23:29] cognac-gamma, Try connecting with wireless, and copy the output of iwconfig to the pastebin. [23:29] snake_ good luck man [23:29] okay [23:29] I installed the Macubuntu theme which is very awesome but is it actually installing the Mac's GUI on top of Linux ....like Mac OSX does with Free Bsd > [23:29] fds2: if you wanna check if it is packaged correctly you can extract it to a new dir like /media/ubuntu/homebackup/ [23:29] fds2: then diff the two [23:29] so is there anyone running windows 7 now or not? [23:29] i am running mac os [23:29] ;P [23:30] opening external media with nautilus displays two ribbons that I don't use - "open with $whatever". How do I get rid of them? [23:30] hachre: ok. Will do! Thanks. [23:30] fds2: np :) [23:31] txomon: ask if you having problems dual booting or something else ubuntu related [23:31] ac7ss: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/589079/ [23:31] bcouse I have just seen a ultra strange windows plugin (from microsoft) that is named as "unix-based application subsystem" [23:32] that means that we can run native ubuntu apps? [23:32] cognac-gamma, You are not associating with it. you will need the security key. [23:32] hola [23:32] hi [23:32] txomon: i'm not on Window's but I know how to navigate on Windows. What's the question. === missbubbies is now known as rubsself [23:33] can i mount .iso files using mount ? [23:33] how [23:33] ac7ss: that is not the passphrase? so how do i get it? [23:33] yayoj1: what is the native plugin meaning of "unix based app subsystem" [23:33] You will need to talk with the manager of the access point. [23:33] txomon: like they say at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779522(WS.10).aspx it is for windows servers [23:33] leapy0yo: mount -t iso9960 isofile /destination [23:33] hey, here's a neat trick: type into a terminal amixer set Master 5+ [23:34] zvacet: not true, for windows 7 ultimate alse [23:34] it will increase your volume up to 100% [23:34] also* [23:34] hmm [23:34] leapy0yo: mount -o loop isofile.iso /destiation - sorry [23:34] 5- will decrease your volume [23:34] you can use larger values for larger changes [23:35] excelsior, try 'man amixer' all sorts of options. [23:35] Can anybody recommend any cool user friendly linux or ubuntu oriented podcasts? Something that aims at teaching newer users things they might not have known about? [23:35] I wish I could figure out how to increase it beyond 150% [23:35] Hm, I've come across a strange problem... I'm upgrading to the beta version of natty, and the installer is stuck on a EULA for ttf-mscorefonts [23:35] ac7ss: do you know how to increase the volume beyond 150%? [23:35] I don't want to install ttf-mscorefonts and have said no to the EULA, but the installer (upgrade-manager) can't proceed [23:36] excelsior, put an amp on the output. (bad to overdrive the internal amp too much.) [23:36] ac7ss: I want to do it anyways [23:36] Hi guys. Does anyone know if there is any fix or workaround to the screen dimming when watching fullscreen videos? [23:36] ac7ss: this is Linux, it's my computer, I want to do it. I don't mind reading warnings, but I want to do it. [23:37] how do i record audio playing through my speakers on the command line? [23:37] ceno3x go to power management -> uncheck "Dim display when idle" checkbox [23:37] excelsior, you can re-level the audio file you are playing, up the player volume (vlc can do this) and push alsa up to 11. === dustin__ is now known as folorn [23:38] Rounin: accept eula and install that package and if you don´t want it uninstall it [23:38] Well, I don't accept the EULA [23:38] ac7ss: is the alsa ref a joke? [23:38] would xubuntu run exceptionally fast on an above average machine [23:38] i would assume [23:38] ? [23:39] and how many mb does the XFCE desktop enviroment use [23:39] wacomm, lol. Maybe I'm weird, but I think the expected behavior would be for the screen not to dim when there's fullscreen video going on, but dim on all other occasions. I don't want to deactivate it [23:39] kitty0230, define your average machine [23:39] Rounin: and you can not finish updates right? sudo apt.get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:39] excelsior: ctrl + arrow up in VLC [23:39] txomon: you got me there. [23:39] dual core 2.8ghz [23:39] excelsior, alsa is the sound mixer that amixer uses. [23:39] 4 gigs ddr3 [23:39] integrated graphics [23:39] yayoj1: so have you seen that? [23:39] xubuntu will surely run fine on that machine [23:39] !flood | kitty0230 [23:39] ac7ss: I don't want VLC, I don't want to relevel, besides I'm usually getting a problem with streaming files not being loud enough [23:39] kitty0230: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:39] kitty0230: it would run very well, yes. base install of xubuntu i believe uses 150-170 MB (if memory serves me correctly - i use it on my macbook). though admittedly, xubuntu isn't the lightest XFCE distro around [23:40] kitty0230, don't use multiple lines for puncuation [23:40] is mounting ext4 supported in ubuntu 10.04 ? [23:40] Hai everyone: I've got a mousepad issue on my Acer Aspire A110. With the livecd of the netbook edition everything worked, but after installation my left mouse button and double tap didn't work. After updating my entire mouse stopped working. I've tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but it was up-to-date. I also tried booting to an older kernel, but that didn't work either. Does anybody know what else I can try? [23:40] how can I fix this, rm -rf does not work: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? hdrive [23:40] flaccid, yes, ext4 is fully supported [23:40] kitty0230, but xfce will work fine on that [23:40] Hai everyone: I've got a mousepad issue on my Acer Aspire A110. With the livecd of the netbook edition everything worked, but after installation my left mouse button and double tap didn't work. After updating my entire mouse stopped working. I've tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but it was up-to-date. I also tried booting to an older kernel, but that didn't work either. Does anybody know what else I can try? [23:40] ceno3x: then why do i get mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' ? [23:40] leapy0yo: what are you talking about [23:40] i know it will run well, i just wondered if it would make my dual core run like a quad core [23:41] leapy0yo: 'does not work' won't get you anywhere [23:41] hachre, it is a directory that is strange on my system and i cannot delete it: how can I fix this, rm -rf does not work: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? hdrive [23:41] kitty0230, nothing will ever make your dual core run like a quad core. [23:41] flaccid, because you did something to your system. I'm running 10.04 with ext4 since day one with zero problems [23:41] kitty0230: with that you can run any ubuntu flavor but if you want something light try lubuntu [23:41] how do i record audio playing through my speakers on the command line? [23:41] kitty0230, unless your dual-core has hyperthreading [23:41] leapy0yo: that is file system corruption do a file system check from the live cd [23:41] ceno3x: no i didn't do something to my system. [23:41] ac7ss: so are you sure my password is not good then? [23:42] those specs beat my laptop which runs regular old ubuntu very well [23:42] ac7ss: also, I don't consider the alsamixer ncurses view a good solution, since my master volume can go to 150%, but alsamixer can only go to 100% [23:42] core i5, dont think hyperthreading [23:42] maybe I will try rebooting [23:42] ok [23:42] I want to know what config file controls this stuff [23:42] but stopped keeping track after the release of conroe, years ago [23:42] because I haven't been able to find it [23:42] txomon: If it's not like a virtual drive to use Unix based environments on Windows, then nope. [23:42] kitty0230, yes they do lol, it's good you can run it, and it will be exceptionally fast. [23:42] flaccid, don't get my attitude the wrong way,but ubuntu 10.04 comes with native support for ext4. I'm 100% sure, you must've screwed it up [23:43] Hai everyone: I've got a mousepad issue on my Acer Aspire A110. With the livecd of the netbook edition everything worked, but after installation my left mouse button and double tap didn't work. After updating my entire mouse stopped working. I've tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but it was up-to-date. I also tried booting to an older kernel, but that didn't work either. Does anybody know what else I can try? [23:43] ceno3x: the volume mounts fine on debian [23:43] kitty0230, all of the i# processors are what intel used to introduce hypethreading. [23:43] cognac-gamma, the wireless connection was not associating, and stated no encryption. I would say that the password you were using for the network was no good. [23:43] thanks, next question was how big was the desktop itself, i want less than 8 gb, pref 4 [23:43] malvin, stop spamming the channel please. what version of ubuntu do you experience that with? [23:43] excelsior, amixer is the front end for alsa mixer. [23:43] flaccid, then the volume is fine and your ubuntu installation isn't [23:44] ac7ss: there's no other option? [23:44] Hi. How do I go about making a bootable USB stick with an Ubuntu Server installer, that once it boots, installs ubuntu without any user interaction? [23:44] kitty0230, i don't get what your asking. [23:44] ceno3x: isn't that why i'm here? [23:44] im running it off a flash drive [23:44] completely [23:44] Wazzup y'all... I'm having weird problems with (what seems like) pulseaudio. Sometimes it slams the CPU whne playing something (totem or rhythmbox) and sometimes it doesnt. Totem will crash soon after pulseaudio and throw up a whole bunch of error messages. Even after killing all processes using audio, xorg takes ~50% cpu for a minute or so. Any thoughts? [23:44] Hi all, well I have a snipped where no exception is raised, can anyone tell me why? Only "segmentation fault" in console: http://nopaste.info/8e2a03d3a7.html [23:44] I endaover to give away and sell complete flash drives desktops [23:44] cognac-gamma, No help in this forum for breaking into a secured wireless system. sorry. [23:44] well, os at least [23:44] oh crap i think i realise why [23:45] yayoj1: chrome crashed sry [23:45] because of the kernel bugs in the 10.04 ec2 kernels, we fell back to karmic in our last image release, obviously this is why its being returned :( [23:45] dsl-n was one i looked at, but I want something others can really use, and get help with [23:45] kitty0230, or you could... nvm I won't but into what you want to do, but what is the question? [23:45] kitty0230, oh === Pug is now known as Guest36021 [23:45] i assume then that there is no ext4 in ubuntu karmic amd64 linux image 2 6 31 302 ec2 v 2 6 31 302 7 kernel [23:45] kitty0230, if it's xubuntu, 2gb is the least, reccomended 4gb [23:45] that is perfect. [23:46] txomon: didn't know chrome had irc abilities, you using an extention or plug-in? [23:46] flaccid, lol I guess, but there's a million things that can be wrong, my only help is pointing you in hopefully the right direction. maybe someone else can help you debug [23:46] i am selling the flash drives preloaded [23:46] so i can get 4 gig ones cheap [23:46] easy [23:46] ceno3x: i doubt there is ext4 in 9.10 [23:46] ac7ss: i'm not breaking anywhere in, I just moved to new flat. I 'm gonna try it on someone else's machine. Thank you for your help anyway. [23:46] kitty0230, I'm not sure if that's legal :P under the GPL. [23:46] kitty0230, unless you're selling for the cost of the flash drives alone. [23:47] Throws a segmentation fault no exception on linux-systems? [23:47] kitty0230, but you won't make any money that way. [23:47] that was the intention [23:47] ubuntu supported ext4 filesystems since 9.04 [23:47] kitty0230, mmkay, do what you will: any other questions? [23:47] not really [23:47] probably will be back though [23:48] yayoj1: nop xD webchat.freenode.net [23:48] kitty0230, ok, remember Jesus loves you. [23:48] then i have no idea why it would return, mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' [23:48] do i need a package or something [23:49] if i do modprobe ext4 i get FATAL: Module ext4 not found. [23:49] all i have installed are e2fslibs and e2fsprogs [23:49] Does a segmentation fault throws an exception on linux-systems? I have the snippet http://nopaste.info/8e2a03d3a7.html , but compiling it on ubuntu10.10 it doesn't throw an exception... [23:49] yayoj1: so have you tried that "windows plugin" ? [23:50] is anyone out there good with winff and can understand why i cant convert http://pastebin.com/iPsFJYK6 [23:51] flaccid: Probably you are running something like 8.04 which didn't come with ext4 [23:51] cat /proc/filesystems | grep ext4 returns null [23:51] genii-around: no. its 10.04 userland, 9.10 kernel [23:51] is anyone out there good with winff and can understand why i cant convert http://pastebin.com/iPsFJYK6 [23:51] can ssh be used like VNC? [23:52] snake_, try ssh -X and then you can launch X apps [23:52] snake_: not completelly [23:52] snake_: there is another app for that [23:52] txomon: nope, there isn't much that works on Windows properly safely. Would recommend dual booting or having another os on a seperate Hdrive. [23:52] snake_: integrated in ubuntu, in applications Internet [23:52] i think that the ubuntu cloud team must not of compiled the kernel with ext4 support. its the only explanation. [23:53] yayoj1: I know, but that just make me pay attention [23:53] txomon_, yeah I'm using that but the ssh in that doesn't allow extra switches and fun stuff like that. [23:54] txomon_, in this case -X [23:54] thanks test34 [23:54] txomon: huh? [23:54] aiight === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [23:55] snake_: but remember that with that command, you will the onlyone to see it [23:55] yayoj1: I meant that it was strange for me [23:55] yayoj1: not very good english xD [23:55] Hi, my isp is doing some weird QOS and as a result as soon as I try todo "ls" inside openvpn connection when i ssh to network machine, the connection get stucked, anyone know how to workaround this? [23:55] hey all [23:56] mortal, they decrypt your ssh traffic? [23:56] test34: what you mean? [23:57] mortu, they can't know you type "ls" in an SSH session [23:57] how do i record audio playing through my speakers on the command line? [23:57] hi all, i've just done a fresh install of 10.10 and i've accidentally deleted the power icon on the top right (meant only to delete the ubuntu-one thing but guess power was also connected to that button)... can anybody tell me how to restore it please? [23:57] hi [23:58] txomon: ohh..ok check it out, I'm sure it will serve its purpose. [23:58] I don't understand why I can't access ntfs partition from ubuntu :-( [23:58] Is there any chance to get some Android stuff for Ubuntu 10.04? [23:58] studpihead, right click the menu bar and add the widget. [23:58] yayoj1: oki, now i must go sleep [23:58] !panels | studpihead [23:58] studpihead: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:58] Some programs that I can use to connect my Desire HD via USB and get a GUI program for Android? [23:58] bye all! [23:59] mickster04: thanking you! :) [23:59] mortu: test34 is saying that the ISP will not be affecting your ssh session, ssh is secure
