[00:09] dylanjuran: hi [00:09] im having trouble installing java on xubuntu 10.10 [00:09] ! java | dylanjuran [00:09] dylanjuran: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [00:09] anyone able to help? [00:09] mythomaniac: well approx 20MB updates daily, questions ? use a vm, reinstall (vdi-clone) in less then 3 min :) [00:09] <^Phantom^> Oh, since I'm making multiple copies, would it be better to create an .iso and then burn them to the dvds with an image burning program? [00:10] ^Phantom^: faster, yes [00:10] DasEi: have i told you that i love you, because it's true ;) [00:10] <^Phantom^> DasEi, sweet, thankies [00:10] purrr [00:10] ;) [00:10] hi [00:11] hello...

[00:13] anyone know of an alternative for OneNote? [00:13] <^Phantom^> I can reinstall them after installing devede, right? [00:14] ^Phantom^, i like devede - but didn't like some of it's "funny" dependencies. If you reinstall them after, it will probably remove devede. === jico_ is now known as jico [00:14] <^Phantom^> ZykoticK9, hmm... [00:14] <^Phantom^> i'll see how it goes [00:15] <^Phantom^> thank you for the heads up [00:18] how about sun jvm? [00:19] <[thor]> is 11.04 rolling out? i got a strange message about a Partial Upgrade being available. [00:19] dylanjuran, add the Partner repo for Sun's java. [00:19] how? [00:20] [thor], don't do Partial upgrades. if you get this message, you can use "aptitude safe-upgrade" to upgrade what is possible. But Partial upgrade translates to "system will break" [00:20] <[thor]> k k [00:22] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: hrmph, looks like it is winetricks that is being held back [00:22] I am having an two issue 1) is their any easy way to record sound that is coming from my earphones 2) Why does pithos say end of playlist detected and how do i fix this bug [00:22] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: i think i can just purge/reinstall to deal with this, no? [00:22] Anybody have experience with an "Unhandled sense code" error when trying to mount a drive? I've got an EXT3 partition on my external harddrive that's giving me difficulty [00:23] [thor], sure (i guess). winetricks is hardly system essential. [00:23] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: that's my thinking.. it is even a non-essential for the wine package. [00:23] tbruff13, pulse is capable of recording it's own output.

That is the preferred method. [00:24] well one moment [00:24] not avliable via that means [00:24] tbruff13, sorry... don't have a link handy - you need to install a pulse dev chooser or something similar. good luck. [00:25] ZykoticK9, can you at least point me in the right direction [00:25] well for example heres the file in question [00:25] firefox-4.0.tar.bz2 [00:25] Bluebill-Wolf: whats the file? [00:25] !ff4 [00:25] Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [00:25] tbruff13, this might help ( i didn't look at it carefully ) http://blog.stebalien.com/2009/03/howto-ones-linux-computer-with.html [00:26] more of ones in that file extension [00:26] Bluebill-Wolf: extract wherever you want and then run the firefox file [00:26] with the .tar.bz2 [00:26] but with what? === Robert_ is now known as Guest62473 [00:26] Bluebill-Wolf: yes, with tar -xjvf [00:26] double clicking on it should open the archive [00:27] Bluebill-Wolf: There is a ppa for firefox4, is there a reason you want to install from an archive?

[00:28] Bluebill-Wolf: Well, there's no real installation process for most of them. If it's there's source code, then the build steps would be about it. [00:28] * starZ hi - still getting this err. msg from mysql --- ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) --- can you help me? [00:28] !patience | starZ [00:28] starZ: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:28] But the gist of it would be to put the contents of the archive somewhere, and then add a link to (or move) the binary into your PATH. [00:28] starZ: are all the setting scorrect? [00:29] <[thor]> Bluebill-Wolf: use brightspark's advice to unpack the tar.bz2 file, and then pastebin us a 'ls' of the folder. [00:29] the program i'm looking to install is VSXU (NOT) firefox >.> [00:30] Bluebill-Wolf: then you may need to compile the file, firefox is unusual that it ships a compiled program in tar.gs [00:30] gz [00:30] read the INSTALL file if present in the extracted files [00:30] !ping [00:30] !del [00:30] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. [00:30] for the last time its not firefox *twitch twich* [00:30] o.o [00:30] Bluebill-Wolf, did you see http://vsxu.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=19 [00:30] <[thor]> Bluebill-Wolf: tar and bunzip2 are layers of compression.. there are many different methods of installing what may be contained there.

[01:36] craigbass1976: in order to chroot, you need enough environment to run it, generally it needs a shell of some sort, like /bin/bash inside the chroot environment. Without knowing where your root chroot folder is, I'm not much help. [01:36] I am getting this error message.

[01:38] craigbass1976: bind can be a sticky wicket. [01:38] egarff, no you did. I hadn't thought of who owns the process [01:38] can someone from the LoCo community council please contact me re: Hawaii LoCo? We're planning an installfest/natty release party.

[01:41] question: I'm creating GPT tables on my 2Tb HDD's and every time I reboot, parted says one of them is corrupted. Seems to be random drives. Any reason for this? [01:41] http://pastebin.com/1trmHSXT [01:42] The_Rufus: can't help there, sry === Miscni is now known as 18VAAA85P [01:43] $h!7....... i'm never going to finish this server [01:43] The_Rufus: Only done standard partitioning with MBR, sorry. [01:43] The_Rufus: 2TB, why no mbr-table ? [01:43] problem is it's going to be a 10Tb RAID5 array, I'm not sure that will work [01:44] The_Rufus: Why not just use standard partitioning? [01:44] okay [01:44] the problem is the preferences file [01:45] http://pastebin.com/wPivrYYn [01:45] The_Rufus: have you tried? [01:45] rcmaehl: what am I looking for in here? [01:46] I tried and it just dropped a drive on startup [01:46] every time [01:46] rcmaehl: why not just wipe out the preference file and start over? [01:46] The_Rufus: with standard partitioning? [01:46] not a faulty drive though, the drive it drops changes randomly [01:46] not power supply, more than enough wattage for the drives [01:47] Anyone know how to upgrade Evolution that comes with 10.10 2.3 to the new one 3.0? [01:48] ariel_: ppa, deb or compile. those are the options, and just plain waiting [01:49] So how do I get Ubuntu 10.04 to use Sun/Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK? I installed sun-java6-bi, sun-java6-plugin, ia32-sun-java6-bin then did "update-alternatives" to point java to the 32 bit one and also exported a new JDK_HOME variable but Firefox still uses OpenJDK. [01:49] how tough would it be to make a screensaver for ubuntu. the screen saver would be just a bout 200 frames of animation no special settings but transparent in part [01:50] gimpy1382, Maybe it's a option in Firefox somewhere. [01:51] gimpy1382: Auv5: no [01:52] gimpy1382: you need the sun java plugin and the default java in the path needs to be sun java [01:52] kbrosnan: I have the plugin, can you explain the second part further? [01:53] gimpy1382: Check the other alternatives for java - java, java_vm, javaws, jcontrol, jexec [01:53] gimpy1382: mozilla-javaplugin.so [01:53] gimpy1382: one of those will probably do it. [01:53] gimpy1382: what does java -verison return [01:54] gimpy1382: sudo apt-get install galternatives (or kalternatives if using kde) [01:54] kbrosnan: pastebin.com/bXKSGSjk [01:54] gimpy1382: nice graphical way to see all the alternatives options [01:55] How do I create an image of a CD? [01:55] queso: by dd or a burning app like k3b [01:55] gimpy1382: I'd bet update-alternatives —config mozilla-javaplugin.so would be your fix. [01:56] queso: dd if /dev/sr0 of=myIso [01:56] queso: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=imagefile.iso [01:56] DasEi: Is it really as simple as dd if=/dev/disc of=/home/queso/disc.img ? [01:56] y [01:56] missed a "=" up there, queso === lvh__ is now known as lvh [01:56] Is it necessary to specify bytes? [01:56] queso: if there is copy protection on the CD it will fault though, it's not a way to copy protected media. [01:56] queso: no [01:56] queso, if you want an ISO you can even use cat, like "cat /dev/blah > name.iso" [01:57] queso: no, just device [01:57] egarff: That did it, thanks. === chuqui is now known as chuquizutta [01:57] So if I have an audio CD that I want to preserve a copy of (as a backup), this is the best method? [01:57] gimpy1382: happy to help [01:58] queso, cat won't work for audio, only data :( the dd options should work. [01:58] egarff: Yet the Juniper VPN still won't start, but gets further. Craps. [01:58] Okay, still, this is all rather easier than I thought it would be. [01:59] queso: dd won't copy audio… no data blocks. [01:59] queso: as said, burning apps allow that, too [01:59] egarff: So it is necessary to rip with something like ripperX? [01:59] queso: yes… k3b, ripperx, etc. [02:00] Audio can't be preserved then as an .iso? [02:00] queso: cdparanoia [02:00] queso: If you rip, use a free codec and not MP3. [02:00] queso: sound-juicer [02:00] queso: might I suggest flac [02:00] queso, Audio-CDs are NOT file systems, like ISOs use. [02:00] :) [02:00] queso: as your format…. lossless, free. [02:01] ZykoticK9: that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure :) [02:01] queso: and smaller than wav's. ;) [02:01] queso, you could make bin/cues from audio cds. [02:01] egarff: are wav's lossless? [02:02] queso: yes… raw audio tracks [02:02] queso, not only are wavs lossless, they aren't compressed either. [02:02] VBR MP3's are excellent, flac is a waste of HD [02:02] queso: flac is lossless with compression... [02:02] arghh2d2, lol OGG is better then MP3 [02:02] after rebooting my NIC doesn't acquire an ip using dhcp. The card is detected properly and I have the proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces. Any ideas? [02:02] arghh2d2: Nope, MP3 is not free, stick with a free codec. [02:02] Using 10.04 LTS btw. [02:02] arghh2d2: yeah, but with the right speakers and sound card though....... it would be awesome] [02:03] arghh2d2: I find that with space being the commodity that it is, it's nice to have lossless and it's really no skin off my back. [02:03] hermanlf: Can you get a DHCP address manually using dhclient? [02:03] I think it's working [02:03] thanks guys [02:03] ZykoticK9: maybe but the problem with ogg is compatibility with devices.. sadly, pound for pound i cast my lot with vbr mp3's [02:03] gimpy: let me try [02:04] arghh2d2, that's why i purchased a music player that supports OGGs ;) [02:04] okay, thanks for your help, all [02:04] queso: good luck. [02:05] ZykoticK9: that's awesome, but that's only one device.. everybody else in the world is using stuff that only plays mp3 and it's hard to hook em up with cool music if they can't play ogg [02:05] ahem... #ubuntu-offtopic [02:05] arghh2d2: hence why I like flac. Space is a commodity, no longer really an issue, so I keep flac, and then convert to whichever format I need. [02:06] gimpy1382: heh.. good call. [02:06] woop? [02:07] egarff: that's nice... i get my computers out of the good will dumpsters and piece em back together, my 160gb is my idea of luxury ;) [02:07] egarff: What's a good front end for CD --> flac? === hermanlf_ is now known as hermanlf [02:08] queso, if you don't mind cli, abcde is very powerful [02:08] gimpy1382, no go [02:09] when I do 'sudo dhclient -r' and then 'sudo dhclient' the DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 message keeps searching.

I could stop at any time. I swear. [02:09] I am interested in installing Maverick into QEMU. is there a special way of doing it, or do i just do a normal install? [02:10] queso: rubyripper [02:10] hermanlf: Can other boxes on your network get a DHCP address? Does a static address work? [02:10] !CDRipping | queso [02:10] good for you gimpy1382, good for you ;0 [02:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping [02:10] gimpy1382: Yes I have many other pcs and devices which get a DHCP address just fine. [02:10] queso: man flac [02:10] let me see if a static ip will work [02:11] Hey what package is the "Monitors" program from (as shown in gnome preferences) [02:11] o dear god 18TB I was living off 80GB until just recently [02:11] I wouldnt even know what to do with that [02:12] queso: good luck, I'm off for a while. [02:13] tempfile: In truth, much is lost due to RAID and my newest box is 8TB of backups. [02:13] egarff: k, thx again [02:13] what do you have of 8tb [02:14] gimpy1382, Setting a static IP works. [02:14] does anyone know where the config file for apache is to set the servername? [02:14] tempfile: i hear that... i actaully like being limited because it forces my to really evaluate and weed out alot of the garbage i download... even 80 gbs will hold $10,000 worth of music, i grew up with a case of 30 cd's that kept my satisfied... Less is more [02:14] gimpy1382, and I am also able to ping my other boxes from it. [02:14] hermanlf: That's good, but I have no idea why DHCP wouldn't work. Any else have any input? [02:15] was working fine and I didn't change anything. I think apt-get update and upgrade must have messed up something. [02:15] anyone know of an image viewer that can handle very very large images? the image is 65088 by 32800 [02:15] I am interested in installing Maverick into QEMU. is there a special way of doing it, or do i just do a normal install? [02:16] lexvegas: Installed from the package? Depends on your version of httpd and Ubuntu, but /etc/apache2/httpd.conf would be a good guess. [02:16] hey guys. here's an interesting problem. i'm listening to a radioshow with some of my favourite people on it, and it sounds like they've raised the pitch of the voices by 10% or so. maybe i'm going insane, but is there any way to change the pitch of the speaker output in ubuntu to bring their voices back to normalcy? note: i want to do this in real time (i'm watching it in flash player), not change the pitch of an existing sound file [02:16] !qemu | wassabi [02:16] wassabi: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [02:17] Could anyone point me in the direction of a good distro for a media server hub? [02:17] Daughain: Mediabuntu? [02:17] gimpy1382: i have tried that, which is totally empty, and apache2.conf no luck [02:18] Is it lightweight? I'm running on older hardware and dont need anywhere near a full *buntu install. [02:18] lexvegas: Ah, it does seem to be apache2.conf. That should work, are you sure you put the correct stuff in there and restarted apache? [02:19] Daughain: specs of that box ? [02:19] Daughain: No idea, and it wouldn't be supported here I don't think. Check their Website, there's dozens of media center distros, I use Ubuntu Server with XBMC installed.

If i d/l a .deb package (cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb) to my downloads folder, and then I opened a terminal and typed ( sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb ) why does it say ( dpkg: error processing cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb (--install): [02:20] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [02:20] Errors were encountered while processing: [02:20] cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb [02:20] ) ???

It used to be empty when it was "Up To Date" [02:20] gimpy1382, I dont expect it to be supported here, I'm just trying to pick a few brains on distros I may not have heard of yet. [02:21] lexvegas: Did you just try adding the ServerName directive in the file and see if it does whatever you want it to do. [02:21] Daughain: that's not worth, use graphics ~fx 5200, and then install from headless up only what you need, I'sd take icewm or xubuntu for window-manager [02:21] gimpy1382: ill try that. worth a shot anyway [02:21] Daughain: Fair enough, XBMC Live is worth looking at too. [02:21] Daughain: that's not worse* [02:22] Thanks guys, I'll start diggin into those. [02:22] gimpy1382, Very strange. It's working all of a sudden. [02:22] Verzor: i have no idea. the rest of the episodes from the same series sound absolutely fine. i've got pretty good hearing and i know radio shows often increase the speed of songs, and this is a radioshow turned into a TV programme (the ricky gervais show), so either it's an conversion error on their end, or deliberately trying to pack in more [02:22] people who aren't familiar with it probably wouldn't notice, but it's just enough to drive someone anal like me a bit crazy [02:22] G'day mates. [02:22] can someone please help me [02:23] Verzor: that or i'm finally having a tea and jam toast fuelled breakdown [02:23] I setup my laptop for dual monitor display yesterday, and I've found that after I unplug it I'm unable to set my resolution back up to 1920x1080 on my laptop.

[02:26] brightspark: ok! thank you a lot man [02:26] Will: I'm guessing that if it is only one file, that they made a mistake with the rate conversion. If you can set your rate to 44.1 khz sampling and still have the problem, then I'm sure of it. [02:26] ItsMeMario: no problem [02:27] Verzor: i'd have absolutely no idea how to do that? === jussi01 is now known as Guest43108 [02:29] hi [02:29] Will: I don't know how either, unfortunately.

[04:10] zee313: seems the format for your library of books is in mdb format that can be uncompressed and viewed in open office on linux [04:10] slaeya: i don't understand what you mean. if you installed a 64 bit OS and then a 32bit OS they wouldn [04:10] 't affect easch other [04:10] effect* [04:12] mickster04: sorry must have been someone else who was helping me with the version I had installed, I just remembered your name from earlier. [04:13] slaeya: yeah no...i spoke to you about trying to install 32bit OS and pnly hving 3.2 ram [04:14] mickster04: 13GB of ram wasted after installing a 32bit install. I'd rather not use PAE if my computer can handle an x64. [04:14] ZykoticK9, hey that fix is confirmed works great now [04:14] dustin, nice! [04:15] ZykoticK9, this has been one of those projects I have been nibbling at for a few weeks just tonight I got serious with it (wife was nagging) [04:17] slaeya: well install a 64bit then === michael is now known as Guest82126 [04:18] mickster04: i thought I had, 76% downloaded going to install once its done.

I want to access internet stuff through my wlan0 and only local connections (10.*.*.*) through eth0, but my knowledge is kinda null. [04:20] Hey what channel would I go to for Flash help?

[04:21] hello, how do i learn the ip? [04:21] Hello, i just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, however, my wireless device does not function and nor do i have a GUI [04:22] DARKGuy: just make sure that default gateway points to the wlan0 the rest should auto setup [04:22] Newbie here needs soe help. [04:22] Jordan_U: Thanks [04:22] mickster04: Jordan_U answered it [04:22] I have a second hard drive installed on our computer and I need to add all the other users to have full rights to it. [04:22] I'm using Flip Book 3D Flash 4 template and am having troubles onh ow to get focus back to the _root timeline to enable flipping from the movie clip timeline? [04:22] Can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-April/241948.html ? [04:22] DARKGuy: you could test with something like "route add default gw X.X.X.X" [04:22] It's a shared drive for the whole fam. How do I do that? [04:22] "xrandr -o left" thanks! [04:22] kaushal: You're welcome. [04:23] johnnyd: no idea where to go with that, I'm sorry. [04:23] No problem thank you. [04:23] Hello, i just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, however, my wireless device does not function and nor do i have a GUI [04:23] egarff, I've tried with that command, but it didn't seem to help much :/ - sacarlson: I did so, but then I can't see the LAN :/ - slaeya: that seems to work, I'll try all that stuff at work when I'm back. Thanks! :) [04:23] DARKGuy: oh, sudo if you're not root. if that works, then you can probably put it into the settings in network-manager. [04:24] anybody can help or give me a channel for drbd help ? another than brdb.. [04:24] DARKGuy, that ones on my bookmmarks, it always gives me grief and I never remember ;) [04:24] DARKGuy: is your default gateway in the network that wlan0 is connected to? [04:24] hi all: is there a way to get a Gnome launcher to open a program in the terminal? [04:24] how do i lealrn my IP??? [04:25] ubd: ifconfig [04:25] ubd: in terminal ifconfig [04:25] DARKGuy: I guess you will need to sudo route | pastebinit for us to see what might be the problem then [04:25] THANK YOU [04:25] egarff, well I did sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.254 (or so it says when I just plug wlan0 and disconnect eth0). eth0 is on the 10.x.x.x subnet [04:25] ubd: multiple ?'s make it look like you're demanding btw. [04:25] slaeya, haha I can see why, thanks :) [04:25] DARKGuy: NO [04:25] is there any man page for listing the man page (#) number categories [04:25] NP*** [04:25] DARKGuy: can you ping 192.168.0.254? [04:26] time to reformat my PC ... watch this space. I should use a stopwatch ;) [04:26] ciao [04:26] sacarlson, egarff : hmm I didn't try that - I will tomorrow when I'm back at work, it seems I was on the right way :) [04:26] parapara, "gnome-terminal -e foo" [04:26] DARKGuy: I suspect you have bigger issues... verify you can ping your gw before you try to get out. ;) [04:26] Hello, i just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, however, my wireless device does not function and nor do i have a GUI [04:26] nvm found it [04:26] man man [04:26] :) [04:26] egarff, I guess o.O... haha, okay xD [04:27] thanks all! ^^ most likely I'll be back >_>; [04:27] DARKGuy: I have ended up with two default gateways so don't let that happen as I did, delete the uneeded or unwanted gateways [04:27] oscargot: inside a terminal 'lspci' and see which wireless device you have. [04:27] ergarff:I have the BCM 4313 by broadcom [04:27] err [04:28] ZykoticK9 - thank you! [04:28] oscargot: that will require the restricted drivers. [04:28] Does anyone know how to set a home directory to a value returned by a program in PAM? [04:28] System->Administration->Additional Drivers [04:28] parapara, glad to help [04:28] egarff: I tried to install the driversusing the live USB but in the end I could not connect to a network even though I can scan them [04:28] egarff: I wish I could do that but I have no GUI [04:29] oscargot: can you plug in a wired network? [04:30] egarff: There is no ethernet hub that is accessible to me :( [04:30] I have a second hard drive installed on our computer and I need to add all the other users to have full rights to it. [04:30] It's a shared drive for the whole fam. How do I do that? [04:30] just installed eclipse, eclipse-platform, and eclipse-cdt. why isn't syntax highlighted on my .cpp file and how do i enable it? [04:30] oscargot: you need the bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases packages [04:30] cl3tUs, is it a linux (ext3/4) formatted driver or windows (FAT/NTFS)? [04:30] cl3tUs: make a group called family, and put all your users in it, then chown it to family [04:30] oscargot: I'm not sure how for you to get those without network. Since they're restricted, they aren't on the install media... [04:30] nvvvm [04:30] FAT [04:31] cl3tUs, sorry i can't help then, good luck. [04:31] ejv, i suck at linux. I'm about to start reading the newbie stuff. I will be learning chown soon... I suck now :( [04:31] ZykoticK9, If it weren't FAT, could I do it through right click > properties > Permissions? [04:32] cl3tUs, you can't apply linux permission to windows drivers - the permission are set in fstab or something.?!? [04:32] egarff: If I do happen to gain access to the internet, what steps can I take to retrieve my gui and wireless drivers? [04:32] cl3tUs, drives not drivers [04:32] cl3tUs: you can also add 'file_mode=777,dir_mode=777' or the like to fstab, although, creating a group and chowning it is a better answer. [04:32] oscargot, don't drivers pop up automatically [04:32] ZykoticK9, sorry...I didn't mean to have a typo... [04:32] cl3tUs, i was the one with the typo ;) [04:33] oscargot, also you can go system -> administrator -> hardware drivers [04:33] BestKeptSecret: If I had internet you mean?? And also I have no GUI T_T [04:33] oscargot: if you have network, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source bcmwl-modaliases' [04:33] egarff, I can create a group. How do I chown like a champ? [04:33] BestKeptSecret: he doesn't have guid [04:33] oscargot, oic I only am a noob that does the noob "gui" thing [04:33] BestKeptSecret: er gui [04:33] egarff, group user id? [04:33] egarff: Thank you for your help, I will try to find some access to the internet >: ) [04:34] cl3tUs: at terminal chmod -R .groupname / [04:34] BestKeptSecret: Thanks for trying :) [04:34] cl3tUs: beware though, if you mistype the location, you'll change ownership on many things. [04:34] would it be /media/drivename? [04:34] cl3tUs: oh, and you need to run that as sudo or root. [04:34] oscargot, np that's what this channel is here for [04:34] helping... [04:34] egarff, hmmmm...scary [04:34] what kind of stuff? [04:34] oscargot: no worries, good luck. [04:34] cl3tUs: well, say you did / and mishit enter... [04:35] cl3tUs: everything. [04:35] LOL!!! [04:35] cl3tUs: what I do to be safe is I stay in the parent directory and do './location' [04:35] That's awesome! [04:35] note the '.' at the beginning. [04:35] While trying to move my system from an older hard drive to a newer one, I've ended up with a non-bootable system. [04:35] cl3tUs: '.' signifies 'current dir' === dragonkeeper_ is now known as ubuntu10_10 [04:36] Okay, I'm in the main drive right now. [04:36] cl3tUs: where are you mounting the secondary? [04:36] The drive seems to have all the files I expect, and I get a grub prompt, but I can't sort out how to get it to boot. I've re-run grub-install from a 10.04 SD card I had lying around, but it wasn't much help. [04:36] well...I'm navigated into the second drive. [04:36] cl3tUs: type pwd [04:36] cl3tUs: report the output to me. [04:36] wohoo [04:37] 6 Minutes 48 seconds [04:37] Fully installed [04:37] Linux sLaeYa-i7 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:37] egarff, /media/Pegasus [04:37] cl3tUs: ok, so the second drive is mounted as Pegasus [04:37] Yep :D [04:37] slaeya: that's more like it [04:37] can i import my contacts and settings from a different ubuntu (on another partition) ??? [04:38] mickster04: yeah, its about time [04:38] egarff, I want to have my fam to be able to access it. We share music, videos, pictures, and such. [04:38] with a 7 second boot [04:38] cl3tUs: ok, here we go... 'cd ..;sudo chown -R . ./Pegasus' [04:38] cl3tUs: be sure to note all the .'s [04:39] cl3tUs: including before the groupname. And be sure and replace with whatever you made it, say family. [04:39] Seems like everyone is hating on unity, but I don't see it impacting the distro that much at this point. [04:39] cl3tUs: That will recursively change group ownership on EVERYTHING on Pegasus. [04:39] egarff, bash: cd ..;sudo chown -R .family ./Pegasus: No such file or directory [04:39] !pastebin [04:39] 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. [04:39] onecrazycat: I'm not a hater, I don't really think it changes that much. [04:40] cl3tUs: now that's entertaining.... type pwd again. [04:40] egarff, well, I'm full of entertainment :D [04:40] egarff, /media/Pegasus [04:41] cl3tUs: ok, type cd .. [04:41] cl3tUs: next line type 'sudo chown -R .family ./Pegasus' [04:41] mickster04: does this look better ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/590036/ [04:41] Hi all! Is there an easy way to run Xubuntu from a USB drive? [04:42] can i import my contacts and settings from a different ubuntu (on another partition) ??? [04:42] Agreed, I think a lot of these blog sites want to talk about the new release because it's the cool thing to do, and they want to seem current, but they don't have anything valuable to say besides saying that Unity is controversial (and it really isn't). It's a shame, because it's detracting from what is probably going to be a nice solid release. [04:42] egarff, same thing. [04:42] raonid, yes... install it to a usb-drive [04:42] cl3tUs: you typed 'cd ..'? [04:42] egarff, you can't apply linux permission/ownership onto a FAT partition... cl3tUs [04:42] rumpel_, isn't there something similar to that of ubuntu? [04:42] I should change from FAT32? [04:43] ubuntu10_10, one method would be to just copy the specific user-folder from /home to the other ubuntu [04:43] cl3tUs: oh, crap.. missed that it was FAT31 [04:43] 32 even [04:43] I can reformat... [04:43] cl3tUs, you don't have too, but you can't treat it the same as linux partitions. [04:43] raonid, i don't understand your question o.O [04:43] cl3tUs: if you don't want to reformat you can do the 'file_mode=777,dir_mode=777' in the fstab [04:43] slaeya: yes indeed [04:44] egarff, I don't mind reformatting, but, we are watching a movie atm and they're really into it. [04:44] rumpel_, oh, sorry. I mean, can't I use the Startup Disk Creator to install Xubuntu on a usb, just like I can with Ubuntu? [04:44] cl3tUs: yeah, format extX (3 or 4 preferred) [04:44] mickster04: I was starting to get depressed i7 (admittedly only a 720m laptop obviously with 16gb ram) it really didn't make me happy [04:44] wireless not working but my wired connection is. Can someone help me out...? [04:44] egarff, what's better? [04:45] cl3tUs: uhm.... yes. :) [04:45] egarff, Gotcha! :D [04:45] cl3tUs, if you do any torrenting use ext4 [04:45] cl3tUs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [04:45] raonid, i guess... you can start a live-medium with that [04:45] mickster04: thanks for all the help!!! [04:45] slaeya: heh, i hardly did anything, you fixed it yourself :p [04:46] cl3tUs: I tend to go ext4 anymore by default... [04:46] yeah but I was blaming ubuntu when it was really my fault [04:46] ZykoticK9, What is this "torrenting"? Is that like when waves of water rush in a direction? [04:46] rumpel_, that's exactly what I want to do [04:46] hi, how do i know if my kernel is bigmem? [04:46] rumpel_, but it's not working [04:46] cl3tUs, the p2p application.. torrents. i turned it into a verb there ;) [04:46] cl3tUs: ZykoticK9 is right.... if you do anything that is going to risk 'fragmentation', ext4 is better. [04:47] has anyone tried to use conky with unity? [04:47] cl3tUs: Delayed allocation FTW [04:47] ZykoticK9, I was playing :D [04:47] raonid, you could also try to create a boot-stick with unetbootin (which is a better tool for this task in my opinion) [04:48] rumpel_, thanks, I'll try with unetbootin [04:48] egarff, is that delayed allocation info in that wikipedia entry? [04:48] rumpel_, =) [04:48] cl3tUs: yeah. === Timic_ is now known as Timic [04:49] cl3tUs: handles fragmentation better with delayed allocation. [04:49] wow. Who makes this stuff up? [04:49] cl3tUs: at the ever so slight risk of data loss with things like power loss, but well, in practice, I've never really dealt with that, and I administer over 300 linux servers. ;) [04:50] egarff, have you heard of "LPI" or the Linux Professionals Institute? [04:50] when does the .4 releases happen ? the 28th ? [04:50] cl3tUs: men smarter than I am. ;) [04:50] cl3tUs: yeah [04:50] I love wordnet [04:50] i think it's dope [04:50] cl3tUs: I have a couple admins in my team that are LPIC cert'd. [04:51] egarff, is that cert hard to get? [04:51] egarff, Can you shoot me something to study to start a linux server environment? I want to learn so bad, but there's nobody to learn from in this tiny town. I want to study the LPI cert book (I have it now). [04:51] I want to get CCNA, LPI Cert, SCCM, then next Cisco cert. [04:51] BestKeptSecret: That's kind of a loaded question. Depends on your experience. There are also 3 levels. [04:51] cl3tUs: CCNA and CCNP are easy enough to find on google [04:52] cl3tUs: if you can handle CCNP then don't stop there go for CCIE [04:52] cl3tUs: My recommendation is to take on tasks... start with something like setting up an FTP server, then move on to web server, then mail server, etc. [04:52] slaeya, That's what I want to do. Security route. [04:52] cl3tUs: that's how I learned... I came up with ideas, and made them happen. [04:53] cl3tUs: that and honestly, reading the linux in a nutshell book from o'reilly and just knowing the linux commands helped tons. [04:53] egarff, do you have a forum or area you talk to people about that so I can read how to do it? Or maybe some Youtube vids on how to? I have hexacore 3.2 GHz AMD and 8 GB ram. I am g2g on speed :D [04:53] cl3tUs: oh, iptables is good foo, learn and learn iptables. [04:53] cl3tUs: I find most people stutter when it comes to IPV6 for me that was the hardest obstacle in any of the Cisco Qualifications. [04:54] egarff, I am learning some linux commands, but the guy I like to learn from is usually pretty busy and a ways away from me. When he can teach me, I'm nowhere near a linux computer :( [04:54] cl3tUs: Hmm.... you're in a small town? [04:54] cl3tUs: seriously, order up the linux in a nutshell (or unix in a nutshell) books from o'reilly [04:54] slaeya, I like IPv6 :D I don't know anything abput TCP/IP protocols. I am on CH 2. Nobody have ever shown me any of this...ever. I'm learning on my own :D [04:54] cl3tUs: all you need is google and a vm [04:55] ubuntu+pidgin+freenode==fun!! [04:55] cl3tUs: believe it or not i read linux for dummies [04:55] egarff, I ...acquired the 3rd linux in a nutshell book :D [04:55] wth. now I'm getting Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS [04:55] danileigh79, I imagine it's good. I = dummie! [04:55] cl3tUs: Sign up for correspondence from cisco.. They give you the emulators, tutorials etc with the ease of learning from your own home [04:55] cl3tUs: lollo64it no worries, brb smoke break [04:55] cl3tUs: I seriously read it front to back, even though it's mainly just commands... it's probably the best way I learned all the obscure crap. [04:55] knowledge is too beautiful of a gift to keep to oneself or charge for. It should be given and shared among brothers and friends. [04:56] egarff, what did you read front to back? [04:56] slaeya, Where do you do that? [04:56] cl3tUs: tldp.org is good too [04:56] cl3tUs: although, often outdated. [04:56] egarff, it is outdated [04:56] BestKeptSecret: Linux in a nutshell. [04:56] daniel3, what's lollo64it? [04:56] man pages is best [04:56] BestKeptSecret: but it has enough that you can glean much info from it. [04:56] BestKeptSecret: that's what the Linux in a nutshell is, basically just a long list of the man pages. [04:57] BestKeptSecret, i like man stuff, but when I want to see someone do it, I look to stuff like youtube or a really well written way that someone is trying to do what I'm looking to do. === aaron is now known as Guest12576 [04:57] cl3tUs: this one is localised to my country however you can still use the demo http://www.ecertit.com.au/CCNA.aspx?gclid=CICGsNT_hqgCFQTabgodK2shqQ .... google is your best friend. [04:57] BestKeptSecret, sometimes, I don't know how to search what I'm doing. [04:57] cl3tus, i think man pages, as i have just found out this exact minute, are the best way to learn [04:57] cl3tUs: another thing to do is to go take the 'qualifying' tests for the redhat certs (they're free on redhats site) and take notes on things so you can google and learn them later. [04:57] cl3tus, i think actually reading the full man page will give you what's needed to use what you're doing [04:58] cl3tus, like i'm reading about the cron right now [04:58] what's more, bits of it will stick in your mind. [04:58] BestKeptSecret, cron? What kind of Greek God is that? [04:58] cl3tUs: time [04:58] cl3tus, it's lead me from cron 8 to crontab 1 to crontab 5 [04:58] cl3tUs: there is an abundance of FREE information out there you just have to want to find it! [04:58] slaeya, what's this page? Is it...the tests? [04:58] cl3tUs: chronos. === rjx0r_ is now known as rjz0r [04:58] Is there a way to suck all packets on a wired network into wireshark on a Linux box without a special router, or the box being the router? (expecting a no :( ) [04:59] cl3tus, and now i'm in ed editing a crontab for my account [04:59] chronos...you mean the father of Zeus? [04:59] cl3tUs: no its free virtual emulators etc, for people who can't afford the equipment yet want to do the tests etc. [04:59] I'm trying to set up dual boot with Windows 7, and I'm not sure how to tell which partition is the recovery partition. There is the main Windows partition (several hundred GB) but then there are 2 others - one is ~100MB and the other is 15GB. The 15GB partition is the only one marked bootable [04:59] I'm guessing it would be the 15GB partition, right? [04:59] jrtayloriv, the 15gb partition would be your Recovery partition [04:59] Hello, I've just installed the ubuntu netbook remix version but I am unable to start the GUI [04:59] wjlafrance-desk: there are techniques to make some switches fall back to broadcast mode, but generally, no. [05:00] jrtayloriv, however the 100mb partition may be a bootsector for recovery or a dependant of the recovery drive [05:00] slaeya, Thanks. Can I just wipe it out, and use it for my /boot and / parition? [05:00] slaeya, what's a recovery partition? [05:00] wjlafrance-desk: probably out of scope here too. [05:00] BestKeptSecret, your speaking windows I take it ? [05:00] cl3tUs: https://www.redhat.com/certification/rhce/objectives/ [05:00] slaeya, no not at all [05:00] no recov partition in ubuntu? [05:00] or *nix? [05:01] cl3tUs: there's a list of things to learn to do in linux. ;) [05:01] ayecee, thanks. Can you recommend a channel? Working on a twitter client and I want to sniff my network data on a separate box just so it's out of the way. Probably too much work to be worth it. [05:01] *nix questions are not my forte, I'm still learning. Windows environment is where I believe I thrive [05:01] jrtayloriv: Is there a reason you need to know? [05:01] egarff, I know :D I don't even know where to start. I think I'll get the Linux for dummies and read this LPI thing. [05:01] slaeya, windows smindows [05:01] I'll start with dummies. [05:01] wjlafrance-desk: sorry, none come to mind. [05:01] Jordan_U, Yes. I'd like to wipe out the recovery partition, but not break my Windows system [05:01] BestKeptSecret, yes I do understand hence the slow transition! [05:01] cl3tUs: I hope for much knowledge for you! [05:02] slaeya, *nix just has a certain beauty to it... [05:02] And I was wondering why it was marked bootable, but neither of the other two were. [05:02] it's actually fun [05:02] Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu [05:02] BestKeptSecret, We got some new windows :D Windows USA talk about good windows...pushy salesmen. The lady calls me like every other day to see if I got potential customers... [05:02] That's what made me worried about wiping it [05:02] anybody can help or give me a channel for drbd help ? another than brdb.. [05:02] Hello, can anyone help me recover my GUi on ubuntu? [05:02] ayecee, thanks anyhow :) [05:02] egarff, I pray the same for you. Many thanks. I love coming into a room and meeting nice people. [05:02] jrtayloriv: "sudo os-propber" should give you a good idea what partitions contain what, but it's not perfect. [05:02] jrtayloriv: you will notice there is probably a switch in BIOS where you can turn D2D or recovery partitions on etc which will be triggered by a function or F key. [05:02] oscargotCLI: details please [05:02] cl3tUs: I tire of the 'nerd', RTFM mentality. [05:03] Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu [05:03] wjlafrance-desk: I don't suppose you have a managed switch, eh? those can often be configured for port mirroring. [05:03] RTFM? [05:03] egarff, lol... same [05:03] cl3tus, read the flucking manual [05:03] cl3tUs: read the f'ing manual [05:03] LOLOLOLOL [05:03] Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu [05:03] cl3tUs: those that get upset when people ask questions... [05:03] !rtfm [05:03] ayecee, just a cheapo SMC. [05:03] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [05:03] mickster04: I just installed the Ubuntu netbook remix edition on my netbook and there was no GUI or Wireless, ive recoveredt he Wireless now I believe but there is still no gui [05:04] slaeya, Actually, I just found what the 100MB partition was: http://itcookbook.net/blog/removing-windows-7-recovery-partition [05:04] You know...I get asked questions all the time at my work. [05:04] egarff, freebsd is full of those [05:04] Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu [05:04] BestKeptSecret, I'm thinking of a word that starts with f and ends with uck. Five year old answers, "Firetruck!" [05:04] One tech calls me for help between 0 and 30 times a day. [05:04] cl3tUs, BestKeptSecret, Linux will never win if people act like jerks. [05:04] Rigadoog: a model numberalways helps. lsusb in terminal [05:04] oscargotCLI: how did you install it, sounds like the cd image was not complete [05:04] Rigadoog: you would get more help if you described the problem. [05:04] recently, he asked me, "Where is device manager?" [05:04] egarff, you should relay that to all the other linux distros [05:04] !chrome > wjlafrance-desk [05:04] !ot [05:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:04] I politely walked him through it. That's life. [05:04] slaeya: it's a wusb54gc, the connectivity is complete shit and i was unable to install drivers with ndiswrapper [05:04] BestKeptSecret: Heh.. [05:05] mickster04: I had to use the live USB, then installed it regularly like that [05:05] BestKeptSecret, you are nothing compared to many people in this world. Accept it. I am in the same boat. There's no reason for hostility when in the pursuit of knowledge. [05:05] and it works fine in windows 7 right now [05:05] mickster04: you're right, sorry.... [05:05] egarff, You should go in a windows server room...omg. Some real characters there... [05:05] oscargotCLI: did you md5 the image first? [05:05] cl3tus, what do you mean? accept what? [05:05] and nothing compared to many people? what do you mean by that? [05:05] cl3tUs, BestKeptSecret - mickster04 is right, we're off-topic. [05:06] I think I'm something compared to a greater amount [05:06] BestKeptSecret, no matter how good you are at something, there is always someone better. RTFM is not a nice thing to tell someone. [05:06] Rigadoog: by "complete shit", do you mean it connects, but easily loses connectivity? [05:06] mickster04: no I did not :( [05:06] oscargotCLI: try that, you may find it was not complete [05:06] it says it connects, but it cant open a webpage [05:06] cl3tus, RTFM! [05:06] I'm stepping away anyway... take care all. [05:06] or it will open like one webpage in 5 mins [05:06] mickster04: How does one md5 an image? I have yet to learn that. [05:06] oscargotCLI: did you do the "try it without making changes" option? [05:06] egarff, cya [05:06] !md5 [05:06] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:06] mickster04: Thankies. [05:06] BestKeptSecret, I will, someeday. Until then, I'll stick with the pros. They wrote the FM. [05:07] mickster04: doesn't that option just run it off the Live CD? The Gui worked fine in the Live CD [05:07] Rigadoog, TBH I was going to point you in the direction of ndiswrapper [05:07] mickster04: err liveUSB* [05:07] what do i do with that [05:07] Rigadoog: takes a long time, or literally 5 minutes? [05:07] literally 5 mins [05:07] it fails to load pages a lot [05:07] its unusuable [05:08] oscargotCLI: yeah, if you tried that then i am unsure as to why it wouldn't install properly [05:08] Rigadoog: was it working better previously, or is the first time trying it in linux? [05:08] first time [05:08] mickster04: Is there a command where I can update or active the video drivers? I am using intel integrated graphics [05:08] i think its possible that i was doing ndiswrapper wrong/ using the wrong drivers [05:08] Rigadoog, I take it you've had a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279447&page=2 ? [05:09] i have not [05:09] oscargotCLI: uhm not that i know of [05:09] Rigadoog: I guess it's not available for testing right now, eh? [05:09] oscargotCLI: try runnig" sudo service gdm restart" === Giertrud is now known as AegNuddel [05:09] ayecee:what? [05:10] Rigadoog: that is, you're in windows right now, not in linux, so if I suggest some troubleshooting, you couldn't do it without rebooting. [05:10] Is there any 3d landscape software for Ubuntu? [05:10] yea [05:10] mickster04: it says unknown instance, if I try to use startx it will start the GUI and then will give me a blank screen for a bit [05:10] seems like these guys in the forum have it installed, ill give it a try and come back if it doesnt work [05:10] have it figured out* [05:10] ok [05:11] mickster04: I'd have to REISUB out of it, and also, sometimes I end up with a GUI panel actually, but that just tells me that im in Low graphics mode, and it won't let me reconfigure or anything [05:11] hello [05:11] mickster04: I'm about to install windows 7 on virtualbox. What would you recommend assigning to windows 7 (ram and CPU wise) [05:11] oscargotCLI: you could move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a backup and try it without the xorg.conf and see if it works. [05:11] oscargotCLI: just a thought, I'm off again. [05:11] im trying to open my files for viewing to a mac on the same network. anyone know how i would go about this? [05:12] egarff: I'll try that, brb [05:12] im in xubuntu 10.10 [05:12] slaeya: i wouldn't :p [05:13] hahaha yes but at the moment I can't find a decent solution for the application I have written in MS Access. [05:13] 8gb 2 cores (4 threads) ? [05:13] which will leave the same for ubuntu [05:13] or leave more for ubuntu ? [05:13] dylanjuran: Mac can view smb shares so that's probably the easiest way. [05:14] hello! [05:14] how would i do that? === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [05:14] thanks rob-p. how would i make them shown to finder? [05:15] Dylan-sama: I would use an NFS share. [05:15] slaeya: it usually will give you guidance on the doco for whatever virtual program you are using [05:15] I am looking for a graphical intefrace to fontconfig I once used [05:15] I am sure it was in ubuntu some years ago [05:15] mickster04: it just tells me not to assign more than 50% ... because it could cause issues on the host machine (in this case ubuntu) [05:15] I'm on a windows 7 machine with a 230GB windows NTFS partition and an HP recovery partition, and the installer only gives me the 11 GB otherwise. [05:15] How do you resize an NTFS partition in the installer? [05:15] slaeya : how would i set up my xubuntu to do that? [05:15] or would I have to go out of the installer? [05:16] egarff: It did not work T_T_T_T [05:16] torchie: You can use GParted in from the liveCD [05:16] do I open that from terminal? [05:16] dylanjuran: If you install samba and configure it properly, they will be available via that protocol. If you want more seamless integration with Mac, you could install netatalk and bonjour. After that and some careful configuration, your Windows shares will show up in the Finder sidebar. [05:17] you can resize the NTFS partition from windows, then format the unpartitioned space in the installer [05:17] but then I have to go back into windows and I was enjoying myself so much :( [05:17] torchie: you should have a partition manager under advanced settings once you click install UBUNTU on the liveCD / liveUSB [05:17] torchie: No, it's under "System" "Administration" I think. [05:17] ah i see it [05:18] wow a lot has changed since I last tried on... 9.04 I believe? [05:18] torchie: I believe you can drag it to the appropriate size, as well as type in the size you want. [05:18] thanks rob_p [05:18] slaeya: well then assign no more than 50% [05:18] and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the volume control works with this dv6700's silly capacitive media controls [05:19] mickster04: I don't think they were referring to people that had ample ram ? [05:19] dylanjuran: Actually, if I remember correctly, avahi when properly configured, gives you what bonjour does, at least in that regard. Anyway, good luck. :) [05:19] slaeya: well ubuntu will want a couple of Gb if you have 8 :p [05:19] thanks rob_p: any possible links you might have to help? [05:20] i have 16gb [05:20] slaeya: try at 50% and see what happens to ubunutu [05:20] mickster04: Is there a way to check the error logs when I try to start up the gui? [05:20] 's usage [05:20] oscargotCLI: not sure...i can't remember where they are, /var/logs? [05:20] mickster04: ill let you know soon then [05:20] someone please tell me why compiz will not activate [05:21] dylanjuran: I think if you put, "afp linux bonjour" into a Google search, it should yield you some useful results. [05:21] j2cool: maybe it encountered an error [05:21] j2cool: you don't have a white-listed graphics card probably [05:21] Resize/Move button is grayed out in the resize dialog? [05:21] what is your choice for web editor in ubuntu? i need some suggestion* [05:22] !html | offsens10 [05:22] offsens10: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya (Hardy or earlier) - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [05:22] torchie: You may need to mount or unmount the partition. [05:22] it's an Nvidia gEforce 9500 GT, and they worked before [05:22] now i don't know how to activate them in 11.04 [05:22] please help me; ubuntu is too sexy for this [05:23] dylanjuran: It's been a couple of years since I configured a Linux box to advertise file shares to my Macs, so the details are a bit fuzzy! :) [05:23] j2cool: Wait until release? [05:23] j2cool: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 [05:23] j2cool: 11.04 is not supported here, but rather in #ubuntu+1. However, maybe it's because 11.04 uses the nouveau driver instead of nvidia's driver by default. [05:23] how do I use Empathy IM it keeps saying that my nickname is not registered [05:24] !register | abiss27 [05:24] abiss27: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [05:24] how to do it?? [05:24] ok thanks [05:24] abiss27: I'd recommend using a dedicated IRC client for IRC though. Most generic chat clients are pretty poor at IRC. [05:24] thanks a lot rob_p! [05:24] thanks very much guys [05:24] dylanjuran: Welcome! [05:25] abiss27: You're welcome. [05:25] mickster04: I found something, it says something about not being able to find a kernel modesetting driver, and the fatal error is "no screens found", would you happen to know anything about this? I can try putting this on the forum if it is too much a hassle for you to help T_T [05:25] resizing partition ... how many times have i heard that [05:26] oscargotCLI: i dunno about that. [05:26] wait so do I mount it or unmount it before resizing? [05:26] I'd imagine unmount but I think it's unmounted already... [05:26] mickster04: That's okay, thank you so much for your help anyway :D [05:26] :q [05:26] :q [05:26] torchie: i'm pretty sure that gparted would complain loudly if it was mounted [05:26] abiss27: I highly recommend Konversation, even if you are running gnome its a really good client [05:26] alright so it's unmounted [05:26] there's an exclamation by it [05:27] list of warnings is so large I can't read the whole thing [05:27] yeah it's definitely not mounted [05:27] lots of failed cluster accounting [05:27] thanks will have a look at it [05:28] does anyone here have a recommend for a good video editor that does AVCHD? I'm trying out open shot, and its not really that great IMO. Is their anything as polished as iMovie for Linux? I don't need anything super fancy. [05:28] ah curses/ [05:28] curses. [05:28] I have to get back into win7 and do a chkdsk [05:28] ;-; [05:28] torchie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:28] torchie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:29] Anyone else noticed the floodbot has a hair trigger lately? [05:29] I've been struggling all day to get the ethernet to work on windows 7 and I boot up the 11.04 liveCD and get it up and running in 5 minutes [05:29] figures [05:29] I'm being hacked by one of the admins of ubuntu [05:30] ray24: what makes you think that [05:30] noisewaterphd: I've noticed that freenode and/or one of the FloodBots has been laggy. That's probably causing the issue you think you're seeing. [05:30] torchie: I know what you mean. setting up wireless internet on my campus takes 20 minutes in windows and 20 seconds in ubuntu [05:30] register temp kannan.chatsalot@yahoo.com [05:30] rww: it just hit torchie, and he didnt do anything to warrant it [05:30] an0maly-: you forgot /msg nickserv [05:31] well an0maly I suggest you use a different password now [05:31] noisewaterphd: If I had to guess, I'd say they lagged and got those four lines in a row at the same time. [05:31] rww = suspected hacker [05:31] slaeya, rww, :D [05:31] ;) [05:31] rww: oh, gotcha [05:32] ray24: evidence? [05:32] if i upgrade to natty, will i lose my home dir if it's not on a different partition? [05:32] ruan, NO... [05:32] ruan: Theoretically not. You should make backups and use #ubuntu+1 for natty support ;) [05:32] I know it's rww [05:33] ray24: I'm not meaning to doubt you, I've just dealt with many people who are dead certain they are being hacked, when really there is a valid explanation for what they are seeing [05:33] ruan: also, standard disclaimer about natty being unreleased and not stable. [05:33] yeah ik [05:33] not upgrading now. [05:33] just when it's released. [05:33] or some time after it's released [05:33] rww: ya, I'd love to play with it, but I can't even get it to install, upgrade or clean inst [05:34] * slaeya waits for the virtualbox to make the new drive allocation. [05:34] id really like to check out unity, im not too sold on the idea, but I'd like to give it a test drive before i make the decision to go with shell [05:35] noisewaterphd: I'm afraid of both Unity and Gnome 3 :( [05:35] anyone know a good stress test for a linux system ? [05:35] slaeya: there is one [05:35] let me check repos [05:36] rypervenche: ya, and I'm not a KDE fan. I might have to try a different window system soon [05:36] noisewaterphd: ditto :( Let me know if you find any good ones :/ [05:36] !info stressapptest [05:36] stressapptest (source: stressapptest): stress test application for simulating high load situations.

I just want to test my whole pc. [05:38] like a benchmark moreso than stresstest [05:38] ok. [05:38] night [05:39] noisewaterphd: benchmark would have been a better choice of words [05:39] slaeya: well, ther is the 'System Test' app already bundled with ubuntu that will just show you some all around general numbers [05:39] there are benchmarks for OpenGL if you're seeking to test graphics [05:40] noisewaterphd: will that show under load etc ?

[05:44] and then what [05:44] Rigadoog, you need to use terminal [05:44] i know [05:44] Rigadoog: type "cd" by itself to go to your home directory. Type "cd Desktop" to go to your desktop folder, etc. [05:44] so whatever the file you downloaded extracted to ... you have to cd (change directory) to there [05:45] i typed that in and it gave me some kind of error [05:45] Rigadoog: just type what is in the Code boxes [05:45] o [05:45] wait should i put the file in my root? [05:45] Rigadoog, for example you've downloaded wusb54gc.tar.gz, you need to extract this (it could be anywhere on your pc) [05:45] Rigadoog: anywhere, just cd to it [05:45] Rigadoog: where did you extract it to?

[06:16] 4.10 i think [06:16] !version [06:16] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [06:16] i dont think that works in win7 [06:16] Rigadoog: in ubuntu.. [06:16] so .... apparently you have to say your params for virtualbox !!!! if you are running x64 [06:16] i cant go on the internet while on ubuntu as i have stated previously [06:17] oh ok [06:17] Rigadoog: do you have a lan cable ? [06:17] no idea [06:17] network cable that you can plug into your machine instead of wireless ? [06:17] i dont think so and my router is a floor below me [06:17] so i cant do it without wireless [06:18] where did you get upto with the walkthrough on fixing your wireless adapter ? [06:18] its v 10.10 [06:18] Rigadoog: Ummmm, I would hope you mean 10.04 [06:18] Rigadoog: Ok [06:18] i got to sudo ./wireless [06:18] paste the tut again pls [06:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3127959 [06:18] Rigadoog: This guide is written for an older version of Ubuntu, so we may need to make some changes. [06:18] ok [06:18] Rigadoog: What happens when you type "sudo ./wireless" ? [06:19] it says no such file or directory [06:19] wait [06:19] it says invalid command or something [06:19] sudo -i made it say no such file or directory [06:19] OH [06:19] You aren't extracting it I bet. [06:19] yea [06:19] i thought it didnt want it to [06:19] cuz i looked at the wireless file [06:19] tar -zxvf filename [06:20] and it said the tar.something file [06:20] Rigadoog: Ok, let's make this simple then :) [06:20] so i thought it was using the unextracted [06:20] also im not an idiot i know to usually extract things [06:20] lol [06:20] Rigadoog: So you extracted the tar.bz file then? [06:20] tar -zxvf wusb54gc.tar.gz [06:20] slaeya- no idea what your saying [06:20] ryper- yes i did before and when i tried to do it it didnt work [06:20] i could try again [06:21] slaeya: Let's keep it weasy for riga :P [06:21] rypervenche, yeah you got it [06:21] lol [06:21] =/ [06:21] Rigadoog: Ok, so let's make this simple. You right-click and choose "Extract here" [06:21] ive done that [06:21] before [06:22] im not an idiot =( just new to linux [06:22] Rigadoog: leave the second compressed file there, do not extract it [06:22] ohh k [06:22] then? [06:22] Rigadoog: I know, I am just trying to make sure we are not making any mistakes anywhere. Shall we continue this in a private chat maybe? So we don't spam people here. [06:22] sounds good [06:23] hi [06:24] for disk partitions is it common for a small one that has the master boot information to be labelled a "system" partition? otherwise what does that mean for a partition to be marked that [06:24] for disk partitions is it common for a small one that has the master boot information to be labelled a "system" partition? otherwise what does that mean for a partition to be marked that [06:25] anyone here know why it ubuntu would have to create the properties window for a file everytime i open it, when others do it quickly? so far it is the only discernable difference between videos that play via twonky server, and those that are not detected [06:26] leapy0yo: by default the MBR is installed in the forst 512 bytes of the disk, not in a partition. [06:27] How can I give two users ownership over a folder, and all of it's existing (and future) sub-folders/files? [06:27] well, ok, ack-grep works just fine... it just needs a good .ackrc :-) [06:27] TheLifelessOne, how depressing. [06:27] leapy0yo, MBR - master boot record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record [06:27] devo: how so? [06:28] (not in any relation to your question, but rather the name) [06:28] is there any command to check who are connected to wireless network [06:28] Oh. Right. [06:28] Anyways. [06:28] Does anyone know how I can do this? [06:29] userdel, that will be in your wireless routers interface [06:29] TheLifelessOne, set a group with proper permissions and make both users part of this group [06:29] TheLifelessOne: Maks a new group that only they belong to [06:29] TheLifelessOne, in short, you can't, you can only let multiple users be in the group that owns it (and then set the appropriate group perms) === 5EXACGCMT is now known as ankreloaded [06:29] Okay. How can I add a user to the group then? [06:29] TheLifelessOne: then set the GID bit on that dir and make it owned by that group [06:29] TheLifelessOne, sudo adduser username groupname [06:30] TheLifelessOne, adduser [06:30] addsuer groupname username [06:30] Alright, thanks [06:30] leapy0yo: The system partition is a partition required for Windows Vista/7 to boot. [06:31] userdel, other than that, if you want to get tricky, google 'nmap' [06:31] How can I figure out the group that currently has ownership over the folder? [06:31] ls -a [06:31] thanks [06:31] wait [06:31] ll [06:31] Heh. Thanks again. :D [06:32] TheLifelessOne, noisewaterphd: it's ls -l, which is what ll is short for, but ll is only an alias, and it isn't setup by default on all (most?) distros [06:33] Alright. [06:33] Well it seems adding the user to the group didn't work anyways. [06:33] ll is good to go on any major distro [06:33] TheLifelessOne, what are the full perms? [06:33] devo: Not sure what you mean. [06:33] noisewaterphd, debian doesn't have it. [06:34] TheLifelessOne, ls -l (paste the part that looks somewhat like drwxr-x---) [06:34] Alright, just a moment. [06:34] works on my deb box, and i certainly didnt do it [06:34] drwxr-xr-x [06:35] TheLifelessOne, chmod g+w [06:35] XMARKS.COM: Anyone know why we get the 'an error occured' when attempting to synchronize the bookmarks? [06:35] so debian, redhat, fedora, centos, ubuntu, and suse all have it ready to go [06:35] noisewaterphd, I boot strap deb, so you may have a nicer /etc/skell than I do. [06:35] devo: Didn't work. [06:35] noisewaterphd, ok, so you win. [06:35] very possible [06:36] ls -l [06:36] TheLifelessOne, why? did it give an error? [06:36] works on gentoo [06:36] thanks mykal [06:36] No, I'm trying to give an FTP user access to read/write files to a sub-folder of /var/www [06:36] TheLifelessOne: eamon's right, just paste a full ls -l [06:36] Alright, just a moment. [06:37] alias ll='ls -l' in ~/.bashconf.rc also works in gentoo [06:37] I'm sure it works in ubuntu too [06:37] hi, i cant write into my removable media, means i cant create new folder, i cant copy or move files into the removable media. Any suggestion on how to fix this? thank you [06:37] dom___: is it mounted [06:37] eamon: yes it is [06:37] dom___: what filesystem? [06:37] Hey, I've turned off all power options that should send my laptop into any stand by mode, yet it dims my screen and makes me put in my password after a few minutes of inactivity. [06:37] dom___: have you tried unmounting it then remounting ti [06:38] eamon: FAT32 [06:38] dom___, how did you mount it? [06:38] JustinM: screensaver settings! [06:38] The GDM config file for Ubuntu is nowhere to be found.I need to configure GDM via the terminal rather than the gdmsetup GUI tool.. [06:38] could be permissions [06:38] raido: D'oh! [06:38] Output from ls -l http://pastebin.com/VTYNZpP7 [06:39] I knew it was something stupid like that. Now I feel like a tool. :P [06:39] dom___: try unmounting it then remounting it. "unmount /dev/sdx" "mount /dev/sdx /mnt/mountpoint" [06:39] eamon: it is automatically mounted, but i cant unmount it. even umount using root cant do it [06:39] JustinM: Nah, its not obvious [06:39] dom___: why can't you unmount it? [06:39] raido: it definitely is when you say it. :P It's not obscure or anything. IN fact, I now recall setting it to do that. At the time I thought it was a good plan. I was wrong. [06:39] TheLifelessOne, change the owners from root to you're ftp user. [06:40] dom___: there's something accessing it. kill the process accessing it [06:40] dom___: if you right click the drive icon and select safely remove media does it unmount? [06:40] About that, that doesn't stop anything that's working does it? Such as instant message programs? It seems as if it's been doing that to me. [06:40] JustinM: lol [06:40] TheLifelessOne, I gotta go, the others can help you though, or try ##linux [06:40] Alright [06:40] Thanks for the help. :D [06:40] How can I find where my xmarks folder is located? [06:40] dom___: iotop | grep sdx to see what's accessing it [06:40] dom___: ive had ubuntu not unmount drives with umount or the little eject button before, and the right click worked for some reason [06:40] i cant [06:41] it give me DbusError or some sort [06:41] dom___: then kill PID to kill it [06:41] okay [06:41] JustinM: I can help u [06:41] dom___: replace sdx with you drive name [06:41] dom___: can you copy a large file off of the removable to your internal? [06:41] JustinM: doh, wrong person [06:41] TheLifelessOne: I can help u [06:41] raido: I don't have too much time, bed is calling, I was just wondering if that is something that happens? I've turned the screen saver off now, so I think it'll fix the issue. [06:41] raido: Okay [06:42] dom___: fdisk -ls to see your drive name [06:42] dom___: it sounds kind of like a stuck process, possibly from corruption [06:42] Well, thanks for the prompt response Raido, I gotta be gettin'. [06:42] raido: I'm trying to give a user I created access to /var/www through FTP (vsftpd), while still retaining the current owner so that PHP can properly execute the files. [06:42] dom___: oh ya, eamon already got you, ya grab the pid from the output and kill-9 [06:42] noisewaterphd: I just told himn how to stop the process accessing the drive [06:42] :) [06:42] too slow i am [06:42] TheLifelessOne: You want a folder that is used by 2 diff users that both have the same permissions to and that all new files are ownd by them and have their perms? right [06:42] eamon: yes i can copy from removable to my internal drive. but new folder creation and write into just disable [06:42] I mainly need to be able to upload, download, and run PHP. That's the main thig I need to do. [06:42] not as slow as me apparently [06:43] raido: I believe so, yes. [06:43] noisewaterphd: okay. thanks alot though. trying [06:43] I tried added the new user to root (the current owner), but that still won't allow me to upload/download [06:43] TheLifelessOne: [06:43] u don't need rot guys [06:43] Anybody have an idea why i would have like "refresh"? errors like pieces of my screen are not being drawn.. specificilly firefox tabs and menu bar [06:43] wot is the obsession with root [06:43] TheLifelessOne: you are running PHP as root?!! [06:44] I'm running PHP however it was installed. [06:44] I have no idea how it's running. [06:44] TheLifelessOne: oh, thats a bit diff, What is the root dir for vsftpd that you set? [06:44] I didn't, I just left it as-is. [06:44] I assume the web server user is running PHP [06:44] Ola bruderz [06:44] usually "www" [06:44] well what are you talking about that is owned by root then? [06:44] ikonia bruder && Pici bruder ola penguinz! [06:44] TheLifelessOne: then you wont have acces to var/www [06:45] eamon: I don't know. I have no idea how to check this. I'm still fairly new to all this . :/ === Philosoraptor is now known as Emylbus [06:45] TheLifelessOne: I believe the vsftpd defaults to serving the users home dir as the root ftp folder [06:45] All I currently know is that I have Apache, PHP, MySQL, OpenSSH (how I'm controlling it), and vsftpd installed. [06:45] TheLifelessOne: If you installed apache normally then it's "www" === eamon is now known as eamon|zzz [06:46] I installed Apache using default settings. [06:46] TheLifelessOne: Apache has nothing to do with vsftpd [06:46] I know. [06:46] TheLifelessOne: vsftp requires proper config in addition to the system user being set up. Have you added the user to the vsftpd allowed users list? [06:47] noisewaterphd: I'm actually not sure. I set this all up at 3:00 AM last night, and haven't had a chance to touch it until now [06:47] How would I check that? [06:47] TheLifelessOne: perhaps pastebin your vsftpd config and users files for us. should all be in /etc/vsftps [06:47] d [06:47] alright, just a sec [06:48] TheLifelessOne: I'll brb. I'm sure someone else can pick it up, but just in case, I'll be away for 2min, not ditching you [06:49] Well, I'm not sure how to access the file. I'm connected through SSH, and I can't Copy/Paste. === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [06:49] ?? [06:49] noisewaterphd: Alright. [06:49] TheLifelessOne: use scp [06:49] SCP? [06:49] TheLifelessOne: yes you can, you select and then copy it [06:49] if i want to block a IP addy / web page, whats the exact format i use, if i add it to my /etc/hosts file ?? (url-to-block) 127.0.0.1 ?? [06:49] TheLifelessOne: scp is like ssh copy [06:49] PuTTy doesn't seem to want to allow me to copy it. [06:49] TheLifelessOne: well i mean: vim thefilename, copy text and then paste [06:49] TheLifelessOne: use pscp [06:50] you can do that also =) [06:50] How do I do that? [06:50] try ctrl-c and right clicking to copy, one of those works im sure [06:50] alright, I'll try that [06:51] TheLifelessOne: but Kimmen is right, if all else fails just scp the file down [06:51] How do I do that? [06:51] google scp [06:51] how to take screenshot in ubuntu? [06:51] Rigadoog, prtsrn button [06:52] then wat [06:52] paste it into a image file [06:52] there aint no ms paint [06:52] how do i do that ati [06:52] or you can use ksnapshot [06:52] Rigadoog: have you actually pressed the PrtSrn button? [06:52] does ksnapshot come with ubuntu? [06:52] well yea i did it b4 [06:52] i can take screenies in windows [06:52] Rigadoog: gnome-screenshot does though, I think [06:52] ^ [06:53] Anybody have an idea why i would have like "refresh"? errors like pieces of my screen are not being drawn.. specificilly firefox tabs and menu bar graying out [06:53] I'm not sure is it is in the menus by default though... [06:53] hi, so basically i've upgraded ubuntu to 10.10, but php didn't move from 5.2. so i've digged and see that it was installed from launchpad, and probably is not maintained there anymore. if i want to install from default channel, i just need to `aptitude remove php5 && aptitude install php5` ? [06:53] sudo apt-get install ksnapshot gimp [06:54] printscreen should invoke a screenshot dialogue by default... === michael is now known as Guest42034 [06:55] I think I got it all: http://pastebin.com/1qnZs4Wu [06:56] Rigadoog: You can use shotwell for basic editing, gimp if you want to do more [06:56] Rigadoog gimp is a pretty good image editor (paint..) [06:57] anyone know if its possible to boot from USB in virtualbox? [06:57] Does Gnome-Shell run on Lucid lynx... [06:58] Bholzi: You can try it out using the PPA. [06:58] sigh.. idk how to do that [07:00] TheLifelessOne: I'm just going to start spitting out changes for you [07:01] TheLifelessOne: Line 118, uncomment [07:01] TheLifelessOne: lines 119 and 121 also [07:01] alright, just a sec [07:02] TheLifelessOne: and then add the usernames to the file specified in 121 [07:02] alright [07:02] Bholzi: Although, a gnome-shell package should be available in the standard repos, but it will be an early version of it. === Freejack is now known as Guest55923 [07:02] Vim is only showing 144 lines. [07:02] !info gnome-shell natty [07:02] TheLifelessOne: then you should be able to upload, and ftp users wont be able to traverse outside their directory which is a good security measure also [07:02] Package gnome-shell does not exist in natty [07:02] nope! [07:03] they're PPAing it instead [07:03] err wait [07:03] Gah, I'm an idiot. Hold on... [07:03] oh, Lucid. Never mind, carry on :\ [07:03] please someone help... it should be a simple apt question... [07:03] Line 21 is a blank comment. [07:03] 121* [07:03] It seems tricky to shove gnome-shell into Lucid indeed [07:03] TheLifelessOne: also, remember to make sure that the system user's home directory is set to whatever directory it is that they are supposed to be accessing [07:04] Yeah, I set the home to a sub-directory of /var/www [07:04] Anybody have an idea why i would have like "refresh"? errors like pieces of my screen are not being drawn.. specificilly firefox tabs and menu bar graying out [07:04] TheLifelessOne: ok, then just changing those items, and then sudo service vsftpd restart, and you should be set [07:05] Alright, lemme make changes and test [07:05] Ati-Installer: what video card and what driver [07:05] What's the format for vftpd.chroot_list? [07:05] Just the username? [07:05] TheLifelessOne: should have an example line in there [07:05] There are none. [07:06] TheLifelessOne: try 1 username per line [07:06] TheLifelessOne: i don't remember, google it [07:06] <-- cant tell? xD I hve an ati card [07:06] Alright [07:06] how can I use php/curl to click the "start testing" button on: http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.php. After clicking, a java applet is downloaded and a test will begin between the browser and server. Can curl mimick this? [07:06] think im using the alsa? driver? [07:06] Ati-Installer: install the proprietary drivers yet? [07:06] Done, reset server, loading FtP client [07:07] i never actually got them working correctly with my card [07:07] Ati-Installer: System>Administration>Additional Drivers [07:07] FTP is unable to establish a connection. [07:08] does sudo service vsftpd status show the ftp server as running? [07:08] im using backtrack linux [07:08] sec [07:08] it uses KDE3 [07:08] TheLifelessOne: have you pasted your config somewhere? I can have a look [07:08] !backtrack | Ati-Installer [07:08] Ati-Installer: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [07:08] arand: Thank you.. but 3 hours of trouble shooting is too much for me lol. [07:08] Ir returned vsfrpd stop/waiting [07:08] Kimmen: I did a little bit ago, I'll see if I can find it. [07:08] TheLifelessOne: make sure it is running, if it isn't, post your error log. If it is running, check your firewall [07:09] TheLifelessOne: you probably have a error in your config [07:09] Alright [07:09] Where is the error log location? [07:09] also, pre-edit config: http://pastebin.com/1qnZs4Wu [07:09] mhm i didnt come here for that anyways, its not my driver.. i think i messed up a setting with the new firefox [07:09] Kimmen: his config BEFORE the changes I had him make is here: http://pastebin.com/1qnZs4Wu [07:10] Kimmen: but it looked like a stock config, and I just had him uncomment the chroot stuff [07:10] looks that way [07:10] TheLifelessOne: pastebin the current config and the log [07:10] It is stock, aside from local_enable=YES [07:10] Alright, just a sec. Takes a minute to copy it all. [07:11] i have a hard drive that is 320gb's and made a 105 gbs partition to put ubuntu on, but when time to manually partition using the gparted to install system, all i see is 112. gb's why??? [07:11] Well let me ask, is there a select-all command in Vi/vim? [07:11] TheLifelessOne: you uncommented the other 2 lines as well right? [07:11] I'm fairly sure I did. [07:11] What were all the lines? [07:12] TheLifelessOne: you can select all in vim with yyX, X being the total number of lines [07:12] Ah, I found out why. Small error in the config [07:13] Yep, that worked. Testing main issue now. [07:13] I am actively using my external freeagent drive, but it constantly spins down via spin down timer... I dont know why... most I can do is raise the timer to a higher number... is there something that fucks this up? [07:13] TheLifelessOne: turn on line numbers in vim if they aren't already, :set number === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [07:13] I still cannot upload/download/modify files through FTP [07:13] Yeah, they're on [07:13] leapy0yo: no swearing please [07:14] Ati-Installer: you realize you are on the Ubuntu channel? [07:14] TheLifelessOne: do you get any messages when trying to upload/download? [07:14] Kimmen: Just a 550 error. [07:14] TheLifelessOne: post your log [07:14] vsftpd log? [07:15] actually, probably not needed [07:15] 550 is permissions right? [07:15] I am actively using my external freeagent drive, but it constantly spins down via spin down timer... I dont know why... most I can do is raise the timer to a higher number... is there an alternative? [07:15] noisewaterphd: That's the error, yes. [07:15] TheLifelessOne: so now you know vsftpd is configured properly [07:16] noisewaterphd: If by that, you mean I can connect, yes, but that was never an issue. [07:16] leapy0yo: sorry don't know [07:16] I just can't modify files. [07:16] TheLifelessOne: right, but it still would have never worked the way your config was [07:16] Alright [07:16] TheLifelessOne: what was the original problem? Do you want anonymous login to your ftp? [07:16] TheLifelessOne: now your config is good, we will move on [07:16] Kimmen: No. [07:17] TheLifelessOne: do su usernameyouaretryingtouse [07:17] that will switch you to that users shell [07:17] Alright [07:17] Done [07:17] then try to move any file into that web directory and see what happens [07:17] ls [07:17] whoops [07:17] That was mean for SSH [07:17] TheLifelessOne: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:17] just cd to that dir, and do: touch testfile [07:18] The users home dir is the folder, and ls returns permission denied. [07:18] ok, that is the issue now [07:18] Same thing when I try to make a file [07:18] TheLifelessOne: temporarily cd just one level outside of your web dir [07:19] i'm out be back tomorrow [07:19] Done [07:19] I'm in /var/ now [07:19] TheLifelessOne: then do: chmod -R 777 directoryname [07:19] and then try your ftp again [07:19] anyone know about wubi that can help me out with something? [07:19] User is not a sudoer. [07:20] oh ya [07:20] type exit [07:20] that should get you back to root [07:20] Back to root [07:20] now do the chmod and test your ftp again [07:20] Done [07:20] sec [07:21] I can upload and modify, but now PHP is broken. [07:21] hello all long time ubuntu user but bit stumped on this one im running 10.04 and am on a ppc ibook g4 and i need to have the musicplayer read all th efiles on this external drive i have. i want it to play off of the drive but not actualy put it on the internal hd. any suggestions?

Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR274." Any insight guys? [07:27] cache_surplus: The accessibility icon? [07:27] TheLifelessOne: your apache user doesn't seem to have permissions for the files in /var/www/public' [07:27] How can I fix that? [07:28] is it correct to manually upgrade like this? `aptitude install php5=5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3` [07:28] Unirgy: as long as the package is from your distro version, sure [07:28] TheLifelessOne: are you sure your php script is good [07:29] It's just [07:29] TheLifelessOne: there is no reason for php not to work [07:29] TheLifelessOne: you arent running SuPHP are you? [07:29] here let me restate maybe this will help. i rebooted to a fresh burn dvd 12x of ubuntu 10.10. i booted to cdrom, the disk is recognized, starts to spin, this purple screen is up, like it wants to start the install of Ubuntu, but hangs the cdrom/dvd drive, and at the bottom there is a little itty bitty keybrd = circle man [07:29] I've never heard of SuPHP. [07:29] TheLifelessOne: cd into your /var/www directory do ls -l and pastebin [07:29] i pressed a key, nothing, pressed another, nothing,,, i sit staring at this screen lol [07:29] alright, just a moment [07:29] cache_surplus: try a CD [07:30] http://pastebin.com/Kk990pRk3 [07:30] anyone? [07:30] zoobomb: anyone what ? [07:30] my options are limited lol [07:30] but i will see what i can cook up [07:30] cache_surplus: try a CD [07:30] ikonia: dont repeat yourself [07:30] TheLifelessOne: can't see that paste, unknown id [07:31] cache_surplus: then respond instead of ignoring it and carrying [07:31] what? [07:31] sec [07:31] does Readon Tv will work in ubuntu? [07:31] are you attacking me? [07:31] lolol [07:31] http://pastebin.com/BBgMcb8B [07:31] hahahahaha [07:31] Try that one [07:31] funny guy [07:31] is it possible to install a real printer on a virtual machine using vbox? [07:31] but i like that [07:31] cache_surplus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:31] Am trying to get a script to enable auto login the next time I install Lucid. But I am not able to find the gdm config file. Any ideas? [07:31] cache_surplus: no, and please stop with the "lol" stuff [07:31] cache_surplus: I'm advising you [07:31] TheLifelessOne: the only errors in your log are about pear missing, and a permission denied, and we just 777 the whole directory [07:31] i need a good laugh now and then [07:31] Uh-huh. [07:31] TheLifelessOne: you used the -R option right (case sensitive) [07:32] Yes. [07:32] anyone? wubi question [07:32] zoobomb: you need to ask the question and wait for a response instead of keeping saying !anyone" randomly [07:32] TheLifelessOne: and your info script was working before we modified the permissions? [07:33] Yes. I entered it on the server through Vi. [07:33] TheLifelessOne: cd into /var/www/public and do ls -al and pastebin [07:33] hi guys I have amikrotik server and i want to configure it is there any program helpfull for that matter .to install it on my pc [07:33] i have. a couple of times. but i dont want to type it again [07:33] zoobomb: then stop saying "anyone" [07:33] what was the point of kicking me? who is your superior? who gave you irc admin rights? that was uncalled for big time... [07:33] http://pastebin.com/nP7NpK2a [07:33] TheLifelessOne: ya check the permissions on the script. did you make that script after we changed permissions? [07:34] Yes and no. [07:34] So im trying to install wubi to my laptop but when i run the .exe it says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR273." Some insight would be much appreciated [07:34] The original script was made before we even started, through SSH directly on the server [07:34] cache_surplus: I've offered you advice, take it/ignore it, but stop the random silly comments [07:34] When I was able to upload, I deleted it and replaced it with an exact copy wiritten on my desktop [07:34] Written* [07:34] your advice is not sound [07:35] I want to config aremote MIKROTIK server any software ? [07:35] cache_surplus: then ignore it [07:35] can someone else help out? [07:35] amin: what OS ? [07:35] cache_surplus: his advice is sound [07:35] my ps is ubuntu 10.10 [07:35] TheLifelessOne: your scipt is owned by you but you have no permissions [07:35] pc [07:35] The error does not seem to be bound to /public/ though. I just tested the script in /var/www, and it also does not work [07:35] cache_surplus: if you are running older or odd hardware it might just not work [07:35] amin: what operating system [07:35] Kimmen: Okay. How do I fix that? [07:36] amin: ahh ubuntu 10.10 - ok, what's the issue ? [07:36] zoobomb: Looks like it's an issue with MS Windows. [07:36] TheLifelessOne: try this: sudo chmod 777 /var/www/public/test.php [07:36] ikonia: I want that software to be insatlled on my pc which is ubuntu 10.10 [07:36] hmm anything i can do? [07:36] zoobomb: Google the error, I found some things related to a Windows bug [07:36] amin: what software ? [07:36] noisewaterphd: possibly ... ill didnt say i wasnt going to try it,,, i said my options are limited,,, and would try another option if there is one,,, usually there is if you have used linux for any length of time... [07:36] will do [07:36] That seems to work. [07:36] So far, at laest. [07:37] Lemme double-check. [07:37] zoobomb: I'm not very familiar with Wubi. Just tried to find out if I could find some pointers.. [07:37] TheLifelessOne: this has to do with umask in your vsftpd config [07:37] Okay [07:37] how can I join virtual box channel? [07:37] What does that mean? [07:37] ikonia: a software which help my config MIKROTTIK remotly [07:37] cache_surplus: try the CD, try the alternative CD with a diferrent install routine, try a USB boot - all valid options [07:37] amin: that software isn't available for linux [07:37] im here for more than one persons advice... [07:37] TheLifelessOne: it means that all files ftp'd to your server will be created with 0 permissions, e.g. noone can read, write or execute [07:37] Okay === Guest43108 is now known as jussi01 [07:37] if that is allowed... [07:37] ikonia: any thing nothing? [07:37] lol [07:37] How do I fix it? [07:38] amin: no [07:38] cache_surplus: stop with the random lol stuff - I've warned you === jussi01 is now known as Guest36281 [07:38] TheLifelessOne: change the umask in vsftpd from 0777 to 022 [07:38] i have a 320 gb hard drive and made a 105 gb unallocated space from the windows manager, i then manually set up to do some partitioning with gparted to install ubuntu, but only saw 112. gb ... can someone explain what has happen here? [07:38] local_umask setting? [07:38] cache_surplus: are you trying to say that I am new to linux? thats why you are getting kicked. you cant even install ubuntu, and then you come on irc and ignore the advice of folks that have been building and using linux since before you could talk. so take the advice or go elsewhere [07:38] TheLifelessOne: yes [07:38] searching for my error on google lead to one result. My forrum topic asking the same question with no replies [07:39] lol [07:39] ikonia: am i able to congig it only by online pannel? [07:39] amin: I don't know the device, however I do know there is no config software [07:39] your very combative... whats your problem? i dont bow down to people like you,, i am going to respond to comments accordingly.. if your going to kick people better be kicking two people out,,, === Guest36281 is now known as jussi01 [07:39] I think that might have done it. [07:39] cache_surplus: I'm not asking you to bow down, please just stop the random "lol" and comments, we are here to help/support - follow the advice/ignore the advice, but keep the silly comments out please [07:39] So there is no config software for libux to config mikrotik remotley [07:39] zoobomb: Try a part of the error without quotes. I stumbled upon two or three I guess. Some MS KB article [07:40] amin: no [07:40] TheLifelessOne: try uploading the script again and check that everything works [07:40] alright, sec [07:40] whats the command to check what graphics driver is in use? [07:40] ikonia: i think your right, however i would like you to put a leash on that guy over there,, he is pissing me off. and if he comments, rest assured im going to respond [07:41] cache_surplus: he is offering you advice, don't like it, ignore it, it's that simple [07:41] that last paragraph was not advice [07:41] cache_surplus: ignore it [07:41] Yeah, it works. [07:41] TheLifelessOne: swell =) [07:41] Thanks for the help man. I really appreciate it. [07:41] chemicalvamp, lspci | grep VGA [07:41] TheLifelessOne: np [07:41] I've been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. :D [07:41] TheLifelessOne: this was all just to get you running. now that you are set, take a few minutes and dial back those permissions to only what you need. it really shouldnt be too much of an issue, but I would do it just as an extra precaution [07:41] chemicalvamp, Mate, you can run "jockey-gtk" and it will tell you what graphics driver (or whatever driver) you're using. [07:42] I don't seem to find the gdm config file in Lucid. I'm trying to use that to create a script that'll enable autologin. Somthing that I can use next time I install Ubuntu. Any pointers? [07:42] hello, how can I renaster ubuntu server edition, is there a tool or something? [07:42] noisewaterphd: I'm not so concerned about security, honestly. It's just a local server for testing, connected via LAN. Only I'm able to access it. [07:43] And running gdmsetup in terminal debug mode doesn't help much. Still can't find what file it stores its config settings in. [07:43] i think i found the solution. thanks et_ [07:43] zoobomb: anytime ! :) [07:43] cutout: you could configure it as you like and then create a recovery image with clonezilla [07:43] TheLifelessOne: oh, cool, youre ready to rock then [07:43] TheLifelessOne: have fun [07:43] Thanks. :D [07:43] ikonia: i cant burn a cdrom at the moment,,, and this cust's laptop has bios locked on his lappy, not really interesting in diving into hardware, is there a way to boot to say this laptop over the network, esc during boot allows me to off the network... i have yet to do a network boot, typically usb or romdrives, is there a quick sudo apt-get install cmd i can use to fire up a network iso to boot from? [07:44] hope that wasnt too confusing... [07:44] Thanks for all the help! I'm going to try to get some sleep now. :D [07:44] G'night #ubuntu! [07:45] cache_surplus, Funny that - I generally blow out the client's BIOS if they don't unlock it for me...reckon that's part of my contract, however...ditto with any other passwords...else they get charged heaps more... :) [07:45] regina: thanks [07:45] also,,, has anyone seen this screen before? the purple one with the little man, im curious where i could find into on it? future reference... im seaching google, cant see it yet [07:45] cache_surplus: you can do a network boot, but you'll need a network server, with pxeboot and dhcp and an install source on, that's quite a big setup, so in realism, I'd say "no" contact the customer and ask him for his bios password, or get to a point where you can burn a CD [07:45] hi [07:45] YankDownUnder: thats true, but i dont want to break anything, ya know? [07:46] ikonia: trust me , he doesnt know it [07:46] cache_surplus: then get to a position where you can burn a CD [07:46] cache_surplus: can you burn another dvd? if so perhaps try installing 10.04, and then upgrade to 10.10 over net [07:46] cache_surplus, Yes, I get that - but if they expect support, then they're going to have to honour "contract of confidentiality" and give out passwords...but hey, that's me... [07:46] ikonia: ok, lets say i do burn a cdrom boot disk, and i get that error again,,, do you know where i can find a link to info on it? [07:47] YankDownUnder: i agree, but he is a friend, and beta testor, its not all offical. [07:47] cache_surplus: get the CD - and see if you get that error, that's the key thing [07:47] whats the release date for 11.04 ? [07:47] lwizardl: sometime this month [07:47] !natty | lwizardl [07:47] lwizardl: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [07:47] cache_surplus, Just as a side-thought - have you run a CD/DVD cleaner through the drive yet? [07:47] thought so [07:48] I am not able to find out where the gdm config file exists in Lucid. Any pointers? I am trying to use it to script enabling auto login in Ubuntu. Running gdmsetup in debug mode does not help. [07:48] ok,,, ill try to burn,, ill use wodim... bbiab [07:48] YankDownUnder: no [07:48] 11.04 = 4/28/2011 11.10 = 10/28/2011 [07:48] good idea.. [07:48] YankDownUnder: i dont have one though [07:48] cache_surplus, Laptop or desktop? [07:48] lwizardl: sometime within those months, yes [07:48] lwizardl: ubuntu versions are date based 11.04 = Apr 2011. there will be a couple betas and then they will release the final [07:48] YankDownUnder: lap [07:48] presidero 2100 [07:49] hay alguien español [07:49] !es | jonander [07:49] jonander: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [07:49] maybe i should just reset that bios lol... his kybrd is a little shaky though,, ya know? i dont want to break anything [07:49] cache_surplus, Open the drive, very very VERY carefully use a cotton bud to wipe the lens gently - great if you have some isopropyl alcohol on the cotton bud... [07:49] noisewaterphd, yeah i know that just wasn't sure about the dates. i thought i read on wikipedia they always released on the 28th but had to check agin [07:49] again [07:50] YankDownUnder: ya? ok, thought sounds good,,, ill try that first, then see if i can wodim an iso, bbiab, thanks [07:51] cache_surplus: it's worth using (if possible) supported burn tools [07:52] Any pointers? [07:52] cache_surplus: ya, thats a fairly old notebook. I wouldn't be surprised if the 10.10 installer maybe just won't go. If all else fails, go back a few versions and do the net upgrades. Thats worked well for me when helping friends/family with older equipment. the 2100 isnt 'that' old, but it could be the case. [07:52] I can't find out where my gdm configuration file exists on Ubuntu Lucid [07:52] Hey is there a tool for Rhythmbox to create Playlists like Genius? [07:53] et_: It's in /etc/gdm/ [07:53] kimmen: Thanks. But I don't seem to find it there [07:53] et_, /etc/gdm/custom.conf [07:54] kimmen: I was looking for something named gdm.conf or custom.conf or defaults.conf [07:54] YankDownUnder: Not there either. [07:54] et_: should be there? are you running gdm? [07:54] et_, Then you can create one. [07:54] I am wondering what file gdmsetup touches to save its config [07:54] noisewaterphd: yes I am. [07:55] et_: silly question, but you never know [07:55] YankDownUnder: Oh, I think I'll try that.. [07:55] et_, Should be EZ enough mate. [07:55] noisewaterphd: I installed gdm on a server. Idea is to create a stripped down kiosk running only FF [07:55] sounds fun [07:55] YankDownUnder: Thanks so much. Will do.. [07:55] et_: the desktop build maybe better for that [07:56] ikonia: Too heavy [07:56] et_: remove what you don't need [07:56] ikonia: I wanted to start and build up from something minimal. [07:56] et_: yes, but the desktop build would be better suited [07:56] ikonia: Already tried. Too much pain.. [07:56] et_: have you looked at lubuntu [07:56] If your aim is to create a stripped down kiosk running only firefox then perhaps Ubuntu is not the best choice =p [07:57] ikonia: yeah. I agree. But this was easier.. [07:57] et_: you won't find it easier in the long run in my opinion [07:57] Guys a few days ago my mouse broke and I just switch numlock off and my keypad section become the virtual mouse and now numlock off or on and also I tik off the the virtual mouse by keyboard on keyboard preference but I could not type any number by number lock anymore what should i do? [07:57] et_: ya i can think of a few possibly better options, but i didnt want to spit them out on this channel [07:57] noisewaterphd: Yes. I even tried something minimal with slim and all.. I am pretty novice and could get anything working =) [07:57] amin: yes the numbers keys not on on the number pad [07:58] ikonia: Already done it. Only, I am trying to script the part where I enable autologin for a non-admin user [07:58] et_: if your new to this, you should really use the desktop build and just remove what you don't need, it will certainly make it easier [07:58] et_: suse has a website that lets you pick and choose only the exact features you need, then it compiles together a custom iso for you [07:58] ikonia: on or off I does not type [07:58] ikonia: Problem is I dunno what file to look for . [07:58] hi [07:58] et_: ill try to find the url for you, its very cool [07:58] hmm. I'm starting to think maybe apt-get install Amarok wasn't the best idea. [07:58] et_: you don't need to script that, just use the autologin gui to set it up [07:58] can I get help with http://pastebin.com/6u4hDr2G please? [07:58] noisewaterphd: Suse.. WIll try. [07:59] et_: http://susestudio.com [07:59] ikonia: Agree. I will also try that again [07:59] Kartagis: #postfix === krabbe is now known as Krabbe === sri is now known as Guest15501 [07:59] Kartagis: the main issue appears to be permissions on the file system though [07:59] ikonia: yea. I might have to do that again and again. For a few of my friends. [08:00] hi [08:00] do anyone help me in installing gtalk in ubundu? [08:00] ikonia: I was able to do that. gdmsetup. [08:00] can you explain me et_ [08:00] et_: I didn't say do that [08:00] noisewaterphd: Hey, thanks! [08:00] Kartagis: chmod -R 777 /var/mail/vhosts/bilgisayarciniz.org see if that works, if it does, dial back permissions accordingly [08:01] et_: system->administration->login window gui [08:01] et_: np, its a very cool tool. I hope ubuntu does something similar some day [08:01] ikonia: Yes. That's gdmsetup tool. [08:01] noisewaterphd: Me too.. [08:01] et_: launch it from that manu [08:01] menu [08:01] et_ [08:02] ikonia: I was able to script something that'll completely lock the desktop down. That includes disabling the panel. [08:02] et_: you don't need to script this stuff [08:02] et_: the tools are much better and supported [08:02] ikonia: No, I am doing a lot of other things too. Like gconf and stuff. === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber [08:02] et_: so ? that doesn't change what I've just said [08:03] et_: you've just said you're new at this, and it looks like your approaching it back to front [08:03] et_: you configure it, THEN lock it down, not lock it down and try to configure it [08:03] ikonia: If you need to repeat everything, wouldn't it be better to have a post isntall script that can do everything automatically? [08:03] ikonia: I understand. [08:04] et_: you don't need to repeat everything, that's the point. If you set it up using the correct tools, you won't need to repeat anything [08:04] noisewaterphd: 777 worked but 777 is evil I hear [08:04] ikonia: tools like? [08:04] Kartagis: I suggest you work with one person as the guys in #postfix are also guiding you down a seperate path than noisewaterphd [08:04] ikonia: by repeat I meant doing the same thing in 15 systems. [08:04] et_: depends [08:04] Kartagis: yes in most situations. 777 was just to see if it would work, now look at your users and owner and dial back the permissions to only what you need [08:04] et_: yes, as I've said you won't need to repeat it [08:05] ikonia: on or off I does not type numbers / [08:05] ikonia: I'm confused. How then without a script? [08:05] amin: reboot [08:05] ihave this line in my fstab: "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0" but ubuntu doesn't mount the cd rom: "sudo mount /dev/scd0 --> mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0" [08:05] et_: for example use the policy kit to define the rules of what can/cannot be changed, the login window manager to setup auto login, the home directory config files for things such as firefox's default start page, etc [08:05] Kartagis: however, i think that particular directory is fine, but I would check with the postfix guys because I dont use postfix and cant confidently comment on whether or not it is safe [08:06] tobago: no cd in it [08:06] ikonia: And if you want to do the same on another fresh installation? [08:06] et_: then either look at build images, or deployment tools [08:07] noisewaterphd: 777 works [08:07] Kartagis: you've said that [08:07] Kartagis: now tighten it up - you're going to end up in a mess as you are doing two different things, one from noisewaterphd in here and one from random_guy in #postfix that are differnt [08:07] Kartagis: i just saw ikonia comment, and yes, if you are working with the postfix folks i would certainly listen to what they have to say, as i stated im not a postfix user [08:07] ikonia: You mean like bundling into an iso and use something like cobbler? [08:08] et_: that's one option, there are many depending on your preferences [08:08] Kartagis: 777 was just a quick way to jump in and verify that it was a permissions issue [08:08] ikonia: ok [08:09] i finally got brasero to work right... i tried cdcreator earlier, and it didnt work. i tried multiple disks, rule out bad disks,, so, cdcreator gui didnt work but brasero does? can someone help me figure out why? [08:09] is this a permissions thing? [08:09] cache_surplus: what does the log say [08:11] good morning guys [08:11] okay, thanks for the starting point noisewaterphd and ikonia [08:11] i just upgraded my netbook from 10.04 to 10.10, but i dont like the new graphical user interface. how can i use the old one in maverick? [08:11] Kartagis: anytime [08:12] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/fmQ9nC5j [08:12] bluenemo, Install Gnome & Metacity [08:13] ubuntu 10.10 ant ubundu 9.0.4 ant debian [08:13] will that get me the 10.04 netbook gui back? [08:13] @ YankDownUnder [08:13] bluenemo, You want the old "pre" netbook interface, or a proper Gnome interface? [08:14] ikonia: scratch that one, this one is more complete... http://pastebin.com/aUkaDdsX [08:14] i want the standard netbook interface from 10.04, one sec i'll link a picture [08:14] bluenemo: 10.10 uses unity instead of gnome I believe. I understand your resistance to the change, but you might want to give it longer to grow on you. I say that because moving forward, all of the new versions of ubuntu will be using unity by default. [08:14] cache_surplus: what log is that (file name) [08:14] i want that one: http://www.macnews.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ubuntu-netbook-10_04.jpeg [08:14] /var/log/message [08:14] anyone here know how to pipe commands through umm other commands. im trying to set up a remote ubuntu install for a rails program and it hangs up with scripts you execute that require feedback... "input stream exhausted" was too generic? [08:14] you want dmesg? [08:14] bluenemo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuNetbookEdition/ConvertGnomeSession [08:14] cache_surplus: syslog, fair enough [08:15] brb [08:15] is that too generic should i explain more. [08:15] ill get that [08:15] cache_surplus: based on that message it looks like it doesn't like th meida [08:15] cache_surplus: don't need dmesg - don't [08:15] its for a customer, which propably will find unity to complicated :) [08:15] so it sadly has to be the old one.. what name had the old one? [08:15] bluenemo: however, the beauty of linux is that you could just keep ditching unity and installing gnome if you really don't like unity [08:15] ikonia: actually the dmesg shows diff stdout [08:15] cache_surplus: it will do, as it's a different information logger - don't need it [08:16] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/76wrWF1K [08:16] cache_surplus: doesn't like the media [08:16] ikonia: i tried diff media, this one is burning now, but i had to use brasero [08:16] cache_surplus: yes, but that tool doesn't like that media [08:16] that was my question... you mean cdcreator doesnt like the media? correct [08:17] ic [08:17] cache_surplus: that drive either doesn't like those disks, or the drive could be dirty [08:17] its funny, lots of people in the past in #ubuntu suggested i use cdreator gui vs brasero [08:17] noisewaterphd: I'd go for the first one, bease on the I/O error [08:17] cache_surplus: it's personal taste/choice [08:17] man i need to start looking to see if ive been beaten to it before i hit enter [08:17] ikonia: zackly why i ask for diff suggestions [08:18] cache_surplus, brasero is horrendous [08:18] Nisstyre: brasero just worked, where cdcreator fails [08:18] half the time it freezes, doesn't work [08:18] screws up CDs [08:18] mileage may vary [08:19] Nisstyre: I've had the exact opposite experience from yours. I suppose it just depends on your hardware [08:19] Nisstyre: please dont say that...that may be your personal experience..i have had no issues with it [08:19] How is it my "personal experience" ? Software bugs are subjective? [08:19] Nisstyre: yes, exactly [08:20] by personal ..i mean relative your set of hardware... [08:20] Nisstyre: ^^ [08:20] cache_surplus: do you have a usb thumb drive you could use to create the installer? [08:21] Nisstyre: and yes many issues in linux are subjective [08:21] cdrecord, which is a cli tool, works perfectly [08:21] so it's not my hardware [08:22] how to change default setting in 'catfish' search tool? [08:22] ikonia: is there a link on help ubuntu to set up a pxeboot server so i can try the network booting option? [08:22] the program just causes everything else to freeze whenever I burn a CD or blank a CD [08:22] i can handle it [08:22] cpu and memory usage aren't even high [08:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [08:23] cache_surplus: ^^ [08:23] i'm using the cr-48 and i'm trying to use keytouch to get the hotkeys working. so far the only thing that works is the volume, and brightnessdown works. when i use xev to see the keycode for F7 (brightnessdown), on keydown it reports one code but on keyup it reports another key. so this is why i can't assign the right function. does anyone know what is causing this? [08:23] and it's a terribly designed program anyway, since it requires you to eject a CD after you blank it, put it back in, then reload the program [08:24] Nisstyre: i understand your point...but we could put it as "brasero is horrendous on Nisstyre's hardware" [08:24] i got it ikonia https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro [08:24] im out, l8 [08:24] regina, how does it relate to my hardware? [08:24] proz` [08:24] Nisstyre: did you report bugs you'd found? [08:24] I have 2 linux servers, I have already configred dns.domain.com in one machine, but I cant configure dns2.domain.com on 2nd machine. I have bind on both machnes and public IPs [08:24] ohsix, I'd have to run it in gdb === david is now known as Guest40093 [08:25] Nisstyre: not really; you can do with reporting them first [08:25] I suppose I could [08:25] Nisstyre: you should [08:25] ohsix, how would I report a bug with no information about it? [08:25] I have to step through the debugger [08:25] and as to ejecting the media then putting it in again, some drives cannot be told that new media is present, ejecting covers them all [08:25] just a pain that's all [08:25] Have you idea how to change default setting in 'catfish' search tool? [08:26] how to set it up? [08:26] cache_surplus: if you aren't actually going to use the multi distro features and such, a simple netboot is quicker and easier [08:26] Nisstyre: no pain no gain;) [08:26] cache_surplus: however PXE is pretty sweet [08:27] Nisstyre: and there are even burners where it plainly says, or accepts the command to act as if new media is in there, but doesn't, so making it only ask for the drives that require it is problematic === Sonne_ is now known as Sonne [08:27] Nisstyre: as to getting information to figure out where the problem is, a program like brasero will have many verbosity options to describe all the operations it is doing [08:28] ohsix, that's okay, I'll have to get a blank cd to test though, because it only shows up when I burn or blank CDs [08:28] Nisstyre: what sort of job were you doing when it was doing what you describe? [08:28] ok, that's probably enough information by itself to report the problem [08:29] you may have to follow up if someone can't independently confirm [08:29] !samba [08:29] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [08:30] Hi ! How can I change the passwd of an user by providing the news MD5 hash such as "passwd user PasswdMD5: you don't [08:31] PasswdMD5: you use the passwd command or gui [08:31] you can also edit the shadow file directly, but that's just silly [08:32] they're salted too [08:32] Indeed it was me first idea to edit shadow but in terms of security... [08:32] ohsix, what does it use as a salt anyway? [08:32] trying natty beta [08:32] so editing them without the original password to start with means you need to zero out the salt, which would render it useless [08:33] what happened to compiz wobble windows and super-tab cover flow like in 10.04? [08:33] !natty | torchie [08:33] torchie: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [08:33] ikonia: ok :[ [08:33] Nisstyre: just random information, it's used to mix the original password; then included as the salt so it can be used in the future to check the encoded portion [08:33] now when you say "production..." [08:33] torchie: install compizconfig-settings-manager and turn them back on [08:34] um, oops, I just installed 10.10, then lamp (apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5) and now I'm getting "you have chosen to open phtml"... what package or config might I be msising? [08:34] torchie: theres settings migration, but there isn't much that can really be migrated, so you need to set your preferences up again [08:34] oh well this is a fresh install [08:34] ohsix, to prevent precomputation attacks I assume [08:34] ahh, then use ccsm [08:34] ccsm? [08:34] oh [08:34] apt-get! [08:34] i'm really sad ikonia :[ [08:34] Nisstyre: yep, since those bits are part of the information you need to generate the trials [08:35] hi everyone ... i need to create a BOOTABLE dvd (of something else) in suse linux ... any guidelines, please ??? thank you ... i have only one DVD-R ... so can't take chances ... :) [08:35] PasswdMD5: why? you don't need to use the md5 directly, unless that's all you have; if you need something more "interesting" than what passwd provides you can use pam directly (requires programming knowledge) [08:36] junaidnaseer: this is the ubuntu channel ... [08:36] junaidnaseer: if you have a prepared iso that is already supposed to be bootable, burning it will suffice [08:36] hmm. [08:36] I would have thought that, to change the passwd of an user, I could provide the new halted md5 hash directly (without edit shadow) ohsix [08:36] maybe I should have went with 10.10 [08:37] I have a dedicated server for hosting sites and I would like to run a mail server on it. Does anyone know a good and easy set up guide for this? [08:37] I need help with broken updates.. I can't update anything with update manager because I get the message "Not all updates can be installed. run a partial upgrade... etc. " Also I tried sudo apt-get install -f and checked for broken packages using Synaptic (nothing shows up as broken)... The problem still persists. How can I fix this? [08:37] How can I see my mac address? [08:37] PasswdMD5: no you can't, since whats in shadow is prepared by a middle layer, and it needs raw inputs to change/check against the storage backend [08:37] ohsix: thank you ... [08:37] marsfligth: it's in the output of ifconfig [08:37] BlackDalek: what package is the problem [08:37] ohsix: thanks [08:37] BlackDalek: tons on https://help.ubuntu.com [08:37] Junid: one recommendation I have heard for burning bootables is not to use high burning speeds. [08:38] ok ohsix because I update these passwords thanks to a file containing the new ones and I would think that storing the hash would be more secure than storing clear passwords ! [08:38] the insides of my windows seem to have disappeared! [08:38] PasswdMD5: not saving passwords to a file is secure, [08:38] brightsites: theres a ubuntu server handbook; but it's pretty much down to the manuals of the software you'd use, you can search for mailers in the packages or get suggestions for which to use elsewhere [08:39] PasswdMD5: using the tools to change/manage passwords is secure [08:39] Ok :] I'm gonna use "passwd" :] [08:39] PasswdMD5: yea the problem is the list of them, you should probably find a way for pam to do the whole process for you, or find a way to get whoevers making list of passwords to talk to pam [08:40] Does anyone know of any good remote assistance programs for Ubuntu aside from vino and teamviewer? vino isn't that great, and I would prefer something that is more native to Linux. [08:40] hi how can I bind my Xserver to listen on port 5900? [08:40] rypervenche: most options are going to be like vino, what would you have it do differently? [08:40] rypervenche: any X11 remote app, eg: vnc [08:41] hipodilski: you just need to enable tcp connections, 5900 is the default; it's not a great idea, much smarter to use ssh forwarding [08:41] jockey-gtk's driver install failed.. How can i go back to the last driver? [08:41] vnc over ssh? [08:41] ikonia, it is having a problem with ffmpeg, libavdevice32, linavfilter0 and winetricks [08:41] or install the ati proprietary driver by command line [08:42] rypervenche: vnc is the way to go, I think teamviewer is probably one of the better ones, but just check out a bunch of the clients until you find one you like [08:42] Verzor: thank you ... :) [08:43] ohsix, faster though isn't it? I mean, wouldn't it be safe if you were on a secure LAN? [08:43] noisewaterphd: It is nice, but I would like something that I can have start up with the computer, and the Linux version of TV doesn't do it without a gui. [08:43] hello [08:43] ikonia, i am getting this same problem on two systems - one is ubuntu 10.10, the other is ubuntu 10.04 [08:43] noisewaterphd: I'll try vnc, thanks :) [08:43] how to enable timestamps in xterm ? [08:43] rypervenche: you need the client to auto start, or just the vnc server? === idk is now known as iderik [08:44] Nisstyre: latency doesn't really dictate how fast something is, but yes it can be lower latency; the difference is almost nil [08:44] Does anyone know where I can find the 'Copy' script? As in the right-click menu [08:44] rypervenche: teamviewer is a vnc client [08:44] ohsix, fair enough, I've never done it before so... [08:44] iderik: that one isn't a script [08:45] but I have done x11 forwarding and it's nice :P [08:45] ohsix: really? :O what is it [08:45] iderik: part of nautilus [08:45] rypervenche: so you should be able to use it with vnc for the server, which is very simple to autosatart [08:45] noisewaterphd: Just the server. I want to be able to start up my computer and then do the rest remotely. Which package is that? x11vnc or vnc4server? [08:45] ohsix: enable tcp connections? [08:46] I need it for vnc2swf [08:46] I need some way to capture my screen in a video [08:46] ohsix: i cant find it in /gnome2/nautilus-scripts/, where should I look? =) [08:46] iderik: this isn't probably something you'd manage without great effort, but you can use the icccm specs for file copy lists and stuff the clipboard with xclip [08:46] rypervenche: i think ubuntu has vnc server ready to go [08:46] noisewaterphd: They do, it is vino, but it is very slow. [08:46] hipodilski: try pithos, there are a lot of desktop recorders [08:47] ohsix: i just want to look at the code of copy, because im creating a similar one [08:47] one thing that cripples vnc is the need for the public up and port forwarding...anything that can take care of that in linux? [08:47] ohsix: seems like it's not available as a deb for my debian [08:47] rypervenche: for spped i would look in to freenx [08:47] ohsix: how it gets the selected filenames [08:48] ohsix: i know there is a variable from nautilus, but i need some more info. thats why i need to take a look at copy script [08:48] iderik: how it gets selected filenames in a nautilus script? or from the treeview natively or what [08:48] iderik: ok, there are lots of scripts that work with files, any one of them should have something, there's also documentation [08:49] ohsix: nautilus gives you $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS, but it contains the whole path and i only want the filename. so i want to take a look at copy's regexp/split function [08:49] can somebody walk me through connecting to a wired internet connection where DHCP is disabled please. Im stuck at preboot command line [08:49] rypervenche: a cool thing I found if you can see both screens of each or multi screens is quicksynergy where you move your mouse to the screen of the computer you want to control [08:49] rypervenche: if you want to stick with vnc instead of NX then tightvnc has a reputation for speed [08:49] iderik: ohsix@krang:~$ basename /dir/filename [08:49] filename [08:50] ohsix: the files are also seperated with a whitespace, so its pretty hard to split them up. since ppl use whitespaces in filenames too. [08:50] chances are you want the whole path though, unless you stash the current directory somewhere [08:50] they're quoted, just make sure you quote them properly so you don't lose the quoting [08:50] bbl [08:50] ok [08:51] samba server wont play the game :( [08:51] noisewaterphd: Thank you [08:51] sacarlson: I'll check that out, thanks :) [08:51] I need basically an open samba server to my LAN but I just can't get it to play the game [08:51] ohsix: it would be great to use python for the $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS, so i could get a tuple directly to work with. but i cant read that variable in python, only in bash === dgjones is now known as DJones [08:52] iderik: the scripts can be any scripting language, just make sure the #! line is right, as with any other script === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [08:53] iderik: python is my new scripting language of choice as well === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [08:54] iderik: python should be able to get that env var [08:55] i need to know the command connect to lan static ip [08:55] just used gparted and click 'create partition table'. then my hd is entirelly unalocated. how can i get my data back? === dovik is now known as d0v1k [08:56] <_deXter_> Hi all, I've got a new USB 3.0 ExpressCard which isn't being detected by the system. The LED on it glows however, when I plug it in. I get no messages on dmesg, but lspci sees it. I'm on 2.6.38.2. Any help will be appreciated, thanks. [08:56] iderik: you might just need to have the variable in the session, you know perhaps use a small shell that does export VARIABLE_NAME, and then python /my/script [08:56] total of 1452 nicks o_O [08:57] iderik: or do it in bashrc [08:57] ust used gparted and click 'create partition table'. then my hd is entirelly unalocated. how can i get my data back? [08:57] iderik: actually I just tried it without any trickery, and python got $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS with no problems [08:58] Hi. Is there any news on Ubuntu 11.04 final release date? And I also read that it would use gnome 2.32.1 is it correct? [08:58] iderik: are you remembering to import os, sys?

[13:14] I could use some assistance with a problem of mine, if anyone could spare a moment; we are currently building a deb-package on a x64 machine (ubuntu) and converting it with chroot to x32, though when the package is installed and we try to run the installed .jar file, it tosses an error and prints out a bunch of jibberishlike chars.. any thought on what the problem is? (should be noted that if not packaging the .jar file with chroot, the .jar runs perfectly) [13:15] saurabh_, well ,, i dont have a good way to do that off the top of my head,, let someone else try that question,, I have never had to do this [13:15] irado:my system is hanging and some of my applications are not running [13:16] irado:firefox is hanging, google chrome is not starting, virtual machines inside virtual box are not running [13:16] waldir, I am finding nothing on any of the specs linked to about that system and usb boot,,, that it is not mentioned leads me to believe it cant do that,, and if "removeable " was the only other options in the bios,,, then probably not... "removeable' generaaly referes to the floppy [13:16] coz_:thank you coz for you valuable time [13:16] saurabh_: just app hangs? can you open terminal (alt-f.something)? [13:17] saurabh_, sorry I cant help further on this issue [13:17] irado: yes i can open terminal [13:17] hey. I was trying to use gettext to localise a desktop app i'm developing. From the code i can see that it tells me that "the locale functionality is not implemented on your platform" i'm using Ubuntu. how do i go about adding it? [13:17] irado: i have tried running apt-get update and upgrade-distro [13:17] coz_: but can't i install it from the usb even not booted from it? [13:17] 10.04.02 installer doesnt see my only disk, but i can see it with fdisk -l, how's that possible? [13:18] boot flag is on [13:18] waldir, if the motherboard does not have that option then no... [13:18] upgrade-from-grub-legacy << is there such command in Ubuntu? [13:18] coz_: like, i could somehow point the upgrade manager to get the software from there [13:18] saurabh_: then use synaptc to full remotion of these app, update/upgrade via apt-get then install again (and test) [13:19] waldir, you said this was ubuntu 8.10...yes? [13:19] not sure how to go about adding the locales [13:19] irado: can you please explain wat do you mean my full remotion [13:19] anyone familiar with cron? [13:19] BestKeptSecret, some. [13:19] coz_: yes [13:19] Ymer-, why aren't my commands runnning [13:19] hello [13:19] hi my system crash and when i rebooted it came up with dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem [13:20] what do i do [13:20] BestKeptSecret, hehe well, that can be for alot of reasons I guess... [13:20] waldir, I believe the repositories for 9.04 are gone,, not sure,, but once the version is outdated i dont think the repositories for that version are kept going [13:20] I configured to run at every minute month day etc with the asterisk '*' [13:20] saurabh_: just call synaptic and search for ; mark it for full remotion, search mark.. so on.. [13:20] coz_: I would have no problem in progressively upgrading, but the sources for jaunty seem unavailable :( [13:20] BestKeptSecret, checked that the cron daemon is running [13:20] disk creator doesnt detect my disk either. wtf? [13:20] Ymer-, i've also [13:20] waldir, right because it is outdated [13:20] irado:ok [13:20] saurabh_: finally, "apply". [13:20] Ymer- how do i check to see if it's running [13:20] ubuntu sucks :) [13:20] coz_: exactly... I even tried different servers [13:20] Ymer-, everytime I type cron, it says resources are being used [13:20] BestKeptSecret, "ps aux | grep cron" [13:20] so i figured they were running [13:20] irado: ok i m doing it [13:21] coz_: hoping some of them could have kept the old files :P [13:21] waldir, you could send for a cd... or have someone burn one for you... while y ou stand over their shoulders... :) and make sure it is burned at 1x [13:21] waldir, i doubt it guy,,, [13:21] kiddithe [13:21] BestKeptSecret: Do you have a newline at the end of your crontab? [13:21] BestKeptSecret, what do you get? [13:21] Pici, i have a newline (as in blank line) [13:21] waldir, that far too old,, and I am almost positive the repositories for it are gone === sony is now known as Guest84246 [13:21] do I need the % ?? [13:21] coz_: lol, yeah i suppose they're automated mirrors of the main ones [13:21] BestKeptSecret: The %? I don't know what that is. [13:22] irado, In cups administration, i went to administration, add printer and installed it. Still cant print a page from OpenOffice. "There was a problem printing document 'Printing in Linux using CUPS (job 6) Stopped job because scheduler could not execute a filter" [13:22] BestKeptSecret, there should be no "%" in that file [13:22] waldir, well as I said,, either send for a cd ,, which takes forever , or find someone who can burn it for you [13:22] Pici, doesn't it signify newline? [13:22] waldir, actually,, if you get somone to burn it for you go for the minimal install cd which is only 12 megs [13:22] BestKeptSecret, can you post a pastebin of your cron-file? [13:22] BestKeptSecret: I've not seen an editor that uses that symbol for that purpose. [13:22] coz_: the usb has an "install" folder [13:22] can anyone please explain why i can see disk with fdisk -l, but not with a startup disk creator ? [13:22] waldir, way less chance of download and burn erros [13:22] testing3. hi.. im newbie.. [13:23] waldir, mm [13:23] waldir, not sure what that means [13:23] there'sthis sbm option apparently [13:23] pici it's in man 5 crontabs [13:23] for older bios [13:23] it seems to work for cds [13:23] but no sure about usbs [13:24] BestKeptSecret, post a pastebin-link containing your crontab lines.... easier to see if anything is wrong with em then. [13:24] coz_: here'sthe readme on that folder: http://pastebin.com/0ncRVBd0 [13:25] hey know that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCS7_Kgfxto ? [13:25] waldir, no thats not going to work with usb [13:25] hi ! [13:25] hey was wondering how i can install gnome 2.32 in 10.04 [13:25] coz_: sure? :( [13:26] is using ext4 as partition type for filesystem bad? [13:26] from repo [13:26] waldir, not positive no [13:26] waldir, guy,, I think the easiest thing to do is have someone burn a cd for you [13:26] coz_: btw, shouldn't grub detect the usb? [13:26] pici, http://pastebin.com/Aj7Gsk4q [13:26] saurabh_, no if it is on a personal desktop.. [13:26] I installed xubuntu on top of ubuntu, and now xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver fight for the screen whenever I leave the computer alone for a while. How do I deactivae gnome-screensaver? [13:27] waldir, ah mm thats a good question... I think no.. if the system cannot boot from it [13:27] <[TK]D-Fender> pmo5: What server shortcomings would make EXT4 "bad"? === NuXeLiTe is now known as nux`il [13:27] hmmm right [13:27] BestKeptSecret: Where were you expecting those to show up? crontab doesn't have any knowledge of your xorg session. [13:27] ok then [13:27] BestKeptSecret, you should have the full path to the file you want to run, for eg; * * * * * /bin/echo test > foo.foo [13:27] burning I go [13:27] thanks for all the help coz_ === nux`il is now known as nux_ [13:27] pmo5: what is the best partition type for the filesystem [13:27] waldir, well I didnt do much other than disappoint...sorry [13:27] waldir, some newer comps can boot from usb after you hit f10 or some such [13:27] [TK]D-Fender, it seems other FS handle better multiaccess > 15 [13:28] Pici, how do i get it to acknowledge xorg? [13:28] jiohdi: yeah but this one'san oldie :) [13:28] *one's an [13:28] jiohdi, he has an older system I believe [13:28] waldir, its in the bios [13:28] saurabh_, nothing best. some are better then others, depending on what you want to do [13:28] or not [13:28] :) [13:28] <[TK]D-Fender> pmo5: What would you advise for a small file-server then @ > 4 TB? [13:29] coz_: it's much better than when one gets ignored ;) kudos to you for trying to help people! [13:29] [TK]D-Fender, how many acces in seconds.. but u am certainly not a reference, since i didn't try all FS.. [13:29] waldir, well dont give up... if you know someone who can burn a cd take adavantage of it [13:29] Pici, how do i get it to acknowledge xorg? [13:29] pmo5: i m using my machine as a developemtn server, with lots of virtual machines [13:30] [TK]D-Fender, i may try xfs, if i'd have to handle more then 15 concurrent access.. [13:30] <[TK]D-Fender> pmo5: Not really a high access rate. I honestly can't imagine that it should be measurably important for us, so this question is more like an "exercise" that much else... [13:30] anyway to resize unity2d icons? [13:30] [TK]D-Fender, personal.. ext4 is good... enough [13:30] coz_: i can burn one myself but i'll have to overwrite something i got, cause i have no empty cds right now [13:30] Hello, can't install my Canon MP630 printer on Ubuntu. I downloaded and installed the drivers from Canon website and when I click the deb-files, I get the message "There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks# [13:30] coz_: food for thought: http://mimiandeunice.com/2011/03/21/dont-fix/ [13:31] noooooo [13:31] saurabh_, personal.. ext4 looks good enough then [13:31] now i'm being ignored [13:31] waldir, oh lol a cartoon after my own heart,, I love complaining lol [13:31] BestKeptSecret: Patience... Provide the proper environment variables at the top of the crontab. === wieshka_ is now known as wieshka [13:31] coz_: being listened to counts a lot ;) [13:31] pmo5: thank you [13:32] waldir, yes i agree ,, it does make a difference even if nothing is solved :) [13:32] saurabh_, welcome [13:32] BestKeptSecret: typically, its something like: DISPLAY=O:O but I use mostly non gui sessions, so I'm not sure if that is still correct. [13:32] coz_, exactly ;) [13:33] i want to know what are the things stored when i use firefox's private session. i don't think it's nill. [13:33] Is there an easy way of having both firefox 3 and 4 installed in ubuntu? [13:33] ManOwl, yes just install the firefox from the site and they will sit side by side [13:34] jiohdi i used the ppa, and it overrode ff3 [13:34] hey was wondering how i can install gnome 2.32 in 10.04 [13:34] should I not have installed ff4 from apt? === eiji is now known as Guest76994 [13:34] <[TK]D-Fender> pmo5: thanks for the input.. some late 2008 benchmarks (phoronix) didn't seem to concur on XFS having any edge erally. Not sure how mroe recent kernel may have changed for this, but in the end its all good I guess [13:35] ManOwl, no, directly from firefox site... it will give you a compressed file which when uncompressed will allow ff4 to be started just by clicking the firefox file... it all stays within the folder [13:35] BestKeptSecret, add this line to ur crontab and see if it works; "*/1 * * * * /bin/echo foo > /home/username/foo" <--- should output a file named foo, containing the string foo. [13:35] #Grnet [13:35] ManOwl, when you INSTALL it, it replaces the old one [13:35] Hello, can anyone please help me get my printer (Canon MP630) to work in Ubuntu ? Perhaps I have to dual boot to Windows to print? [13:35] jiohdi: i'd prefer to do this with ff3 and leave ff4 in repos [13:35] do you know where the old ff3 packages are by any chance [13:35] [TK]D-Fender, i looked here and there... and when it comes to concurrent access.. XFS and JFS were ahead of others.. [13:36] join #firefox [13:36] ManOwl, the main binary is in /usr/bin but it has parts scattered all over the place [13:36] thats not what i mean [13:36] never mind [13:36] thanks for offering [13:36] hey was wondering how i can install gnome 2.32 in 10.04 [13:36] Ymer-, alright one moment [13:37] Hello, how can I disable shutdown splash? I want to see the textmode log messages. [13:37] coz_: oh hey, seems like i had an rw dvd around :D with some movies I already had transferred to my external disk ^^ [13:37] waldir, cool remember to burn that at 1x [13:37] coz_: downloading the 10.10 iso now :D [13:37] waldir, also check the md5sum [13:37] NeedSomeHelp: quick search reveals http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp610linux/files/ hosting PPD's [13:38] coz_: are errors that common? [13:38] waldir, or just download the minimal install [13:38] isco [13:38] iso [13:38] coz_: where? [13:38] ManOwl, if you mean the package for install on the web, you might try an archive site like sourceforge [13:38] waldir, well music and iso images are best burned at 1x [13:38] waldir, hold on let me get link [13:38] :) [13:39] the wiki [13:39] waldir, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:39] waldir, now it is NOT a live cd [13:39] coz_: what else does it lack? [13:39] waldir, it will begin on black screen,,, cli,, ends in boot,,,, just hit enter [13:39] I need troubles in ubuntu 11.04... Can someone help me? [13:39] the FF3 and FF4 solution I would go for, but it might not be the best method, would be to uninstall firefox (and have no 4 PPA in sources), then get the source code for FF3 (via apt-get), build the sources for FF3 with an alternative --prefix in configure (say /usr/local/firefox3), and install that manually. [13:40] coz_: interesting! [13:40] I'lltry that :) [13:40] then add the PPA and install FF4 normally. [13:40] waldir, it lacks nothing,, it will get to a point where you choose what you want installed aka Desktop evironment etc,, to scroll use the arrow keys ,, to choose use the SPLACE bar [13:40] I installed xubuntu on top of ubuntu, and now xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver fight for the screen whenever I leave the computer alone for a while. How do I deactivate gnome-screensaver? [13:40] !ubuntu+1 | raniere_gomes [13:40] raniere_gomes: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [13:40] waldir, this is more or less a text install but not difficult at all [13:41] Ymer-, it worked :) [13:41] coz_: I've been getting acquainted with the cli for some time now :) [13:41] waldir, just take you time with it ,,, dont jump the gun making choices,, and one suggestion,, choose just one t hing in the software options like Gnome Desktop for example [13:41] running firefox-bin from the extracted firefox3 package causes the launch of firefox4 even after I've changed LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the firefox dir. [13:41] waldir, then entire thing will download from the internet so it will be completely up to date when you do first boot [13:42] coz_: I first started on ubuntu full time about an year ago... it's kinda inevitable :) [13:42] ls [13:42] waldir, yep understood [13:43] ah [13:43] had to kill ff4 first [13:43] BestKeptSecret, okey, then you can just erase my command and insert your own, it should all work then :) [13:43] ManOwl, ff4? [13:44] coz_: done, will reboot now :) [13:44] BestKeptSecret: i've installed ff4 using the ppa but I'm using a pre-release version of ff3 that I put in ~/opt [13:44] waldir, ok [13:44] waldir, good luck [13:44] ppa, ManOwl? [13:44] I won'tbe able to return to irc soon, so thanks in advance :D [13:44] bye [13:44] BestKeptSecret: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [13:44] waldir, ok take you time [13:45] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/firefox-4-ppa-for-ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-users/ [13:45] why does wayland ALWAYS fail at "no module named libxml2"?! [13:46] because there's no module named libxml2! [13:46] what programming language, python? [13:46] BajK: Likely because wayland isn't intended for production use yet. [13:46] I could use some assistance with a problem of mine, if anyone could spare a moment; we are currently building a deb-package on a x64 machine (ubuntu) and converting it with chroot to x32, though when the package is installed and we try to run the installed .jar file, it tosses an error and prints out a bunch of jibberishlike chars.. any thought on what the problem is? (should be noted that if not packaging the .jar file with chroot, the .jar runs perfectly) [13:46] 9/10 times the error message is indicative of the reason for failure :) [13:46] ok my fault^^ libxml2-dev was not installed but EVERY script and EVERY tut I tested forgets this.. [13:46] Ymer-, my commands still aren't working... I can tell they're running [13:47] tensorpudding, I just installed those drivers you provided, but nothing happens. Still cant print. [13:47] BestKeptSecret, okey, how did you add ur commands? [13:47] but not in xorg? or in my gui... because I'll have tomboy open... but it will close [13:47] Ymer-: #ubuntu-packaging is probably a better place to ask, although its not nearly as busy as here. [13:47] when a minute passes by [13:47] Pici, alrighty mate, thanks [13:48] coz_: I had to come here and comment: the keyboard detection on the minimal cd is awesome!! why on earth does the graphical install use a more cumbersome, "select from a long list" method? [13:48] BestKeptSecret, not that you have to specify where the command (my case "echo") is located [13:48] BestKeptSecret, note* [13:48] Ymer-, * * * * * /usr/bin/tomboy [13:48] waldir, not sure but since the minimal is well,,, minimal.. it works faster for surer [13:49] BestKeptSecret: will that run once a minute? [13:49] eamon|zzz, i really just want it to run upon startup [13:49] coz_: it was great because when i installed ubuntu yesterday on this laptop, i thought about how it could try to be smarter, like asking for the user to type a few keys to detect the keyboard layout... and now this does exactly that!! [13:50] BestKeptSecret: then you want anacron [13:50] BestKeptSecret, then you should probably put it in /etc/rc.local instead [13:50] waldir, very cool [13:50] anacron is for jobs that revolve around downtime. cron is for jobs revolving around uptime [13:51] coz_: and the funny thing is, it asked for about 5 keys, but after the first one it knew already :D [13:51] !cron [13:51] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[13:52] ah, choose an option [13:53] I've bene using enter, seems to work too [13:53] hi, can you please give me a very simple guide to configure apache on localhost...im doing this for the very first time, so im struggling with the general instructions..? [13:53] waldir, enter will NOT work when it comes to the part for chooseing software [13:53] waldir, it Must be the space bar [13:53] coz_: oh, thanks for the heads up :) [13:53] waldir, other wise,, it will install the base system with no desktop environment [13:53] mithran: it should work out of the box if you just install the apache2 package [13:54] mithran: what do you need configured?

I was thinking ubuntu didnt work that way for some reason [13:55] i did that, and it installed, and i got the default page, i even made a really simple html page, and replaced it with the /var/www/index.html, now i want to get this php system infor page to work and Im having a tough time with the readme [13:55] ^An_Ony_Moose: , [TK]D-Fender: having a look [13:55] tensorpudding, I just installed those drivers you provided, but nothing happens.

[13:56] shane4ubuntu, do you have compiz running? === waldir is now known as waldir_away [13:57] ahhhhhh [13:57] coz_: yes, it was setup with the wall, and I wanted the desktop, I switched, but it seemed to have messed it up, so I disabled, both, and nothing works. [13:57] thanks anyone who helped me... i haven't figured it out [13:57] but i'll be back soon [13:57] shane4ubuntu, well open ccsm [13:57] !cron [13:57] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[14:00] hi, I just installed a asus graphics card but no additional drivers are presented. the card works fine thou...but I fear its not using all the features / full speed, how do I trigger to get the drivers? [14:00] shane4ubuntu, cool hope it works now :) [14:00] Hello, can anyone please help me get my printer (Canon MP630) to work in Ubuntu ? Perhaps I have to dual boot to Windows to print? I have downloaded drivers and tried to install them, but with no luck. Please, I need my to print my tickets asap! [14:01] coz_: is that a bug, because it is very odd that it is horizontal size set to 4 and number of desktops set to 1, and vertical 1, that is odd. [14:01] shane4ubuntu, no ,, remember compiz is a single desktop regardless of how many viewports you enable akd horizonatl virtual size [14:01] why do I need to log out and back in to change the dpi settings of fonts?! I can change the font itself (and the size) like I want to but for dpi settings I need to restart... [14:01] shane4ubuntu, the other two sliders are used when using desktop wall [14:02] coz_: I thought it used to be when I hit ctrl alt down arrow it would switch too, but now it goes to wall [14:02] Kartagis: does /etc/default/useradd exist on your system? [14:02] i have a system that i need to install to that has some unique problems, it doesn't have a cdrom and i only have a 64mb usbkey, but i do have a esata hard drive i could plug into the system [14:02] sipior: yes, it does [14:03] Kartagis: good, edit it :-) [14:03] shane4ubuntu, that goes to Unfold desktop [14:03] Kartagis: adduser needs the username as parameter... debian adduser is not interactive like RH's and others [14:03] shane4ubuntu, which means you can see the whole desktop [14:03] im trying to install ubuntu on a preety old compaq notebook, its a p4 with 40gb and 256ram, ubuntu 10.10 gave some errors on booting. Do you recommend for me a lighter distro or something? [14:03] I've been trying to install my printer for hours on Ubuntu! Have tried cups, have tried downloading drivers from Canon website, and tried enhanced drivers from a sourceforge net. Nothing is working! [14:04] coz_: ahh, ok, that would be in the shortcut settings then, or key bindings. [14:04] will ubuntu work at all in this confs? [14:04] shane4ubuntu, vieports are sort of like a film strip,,for a movie,, one frame at a time but only one movie,, compiz is one desktop cut up into those "frames" [14:04] carlos_guerrilha: you may have an easier time with Xubuntu [14:04] carlos_guerrilha: still a little light on ram though [14:04] hmm i see [14:04] can anybody hook me up with the panel reset code? [14:04] shane4ubuntu, compiz does not use "desktop" it uses "viewports" [14:04] "desktops" rather [14:05] coz_: ahh, ok, thanks for the info, that is all odd to me, I just use it and enjoy it, don't really understand it. :) [14:05] shane4ubuntu, :) [14:05] hi [14:05] !panelreset | gerrin [14:05] a question [14:05] gerrin: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:05] shane4ubuntu, I may have explained too much :) [14:05] should i use 10 04, 10.10 or 11.04 ? [14:05] (carlos_guerrilha here) it has windows xp on it [14:05] For some reason all my server logins are coming out as "failed password for invalid user X". Nothing else is given and I see my users in passwd. Is there a way to get increased verbosity in auth.log ? [14:05] coz_: well, it is just nice to know that someone out there understands it! [14:05] LarsTo, well if you like testing use 11.04 [14:06] LarsTo, if you want more stable go with 10.04 LTS or 10.10 [14:06] thanks erUSUL and sipior [14:06] i think its quite hard to find newer memory for this nb [14:06] coz_ normally more stable, but the supported end soon with ubuntu10.10 [14:06] !resetpanel > gerrin [14:06] gerrin, please see my private message [14:06] david5345: are you sure you're not mistyping the username, possibly by using uppercase letters? [14:06] hello,every teachers.I wonder is it right when use a tar.bz2 packet I need not install but decompression [14:06] Kartagis: use | instead of > [14:06] jrib, I am sure [14:06] LarsTo, not for some time .. it will be suported another year I believe [14:06] I really like how unity is at the side. After all, screens nowadays are wide, we need to use the sides. [14:06] d3vic3: okay [14:07] coz_: ok, I want the standard 4 desktops, two above, and two below, I set 2 verticle and 2 horiz. how do I setup my desktop to play nice with the alt ctrl down and up arrows?

My server is refusing my -p 20 21 22 after a reboot [14:07] grimlyhefty: just 22 [14:07] 22 [14:07] coz_ have you ubuntu 10.10 too ? [14:07] It's refusing it. [14:08] shane4ubuntu, well not sure it can with those settings... you may have to play with it,, in normal desktop cube with horizinal virtual size set to 4 and the other two sliders to 1 it should work but I know it wont work if you chante that 4 to a 3 [14:08] grimlyhefty: firewall? [14:08] shane4ubuntu, so you have play with the settings to get it just right for your tastes [14:08] Not mine. Im running ubuntu desktop [14:08] hi ho coz_ have you ubuntu 10.10 too ? [14:08] the server is 10.04 [14:08] grimlyhefty: if the error is "Connection Refused", you're not running the ssh server on the target machine. [14:08] grimlyhefty: make sure ssh server is running [14:08] LarsTo, I am on ubuntu 10.10 on this machine and 11.04 on a testing machine [14:08] coz_: that is the way it was usually setup before for me, I'm not sure how/why it changed, I switched back to gnome from kde. [14:08] ok me 2 [14:08] LarsTo, I prefer 10.04 because it is LTS [14:09] Need Help! I've been trying to install my printer for hours on Ubuntu! Have tried cups, have tried downloading drivers from Canon website, and tried enhanced drivers from a sourceforge net. Nothing is working! [14:09] I think the problem is in PAM ; pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=myip user=myuser [14:09] shane4ubuntu, ah I see,, thinks are a bit different on kde + compiz but not the settings [14:09] My server is an ovh box. How can I start ssh remotely without getting connected to it? [14:09] normally i would prefer 10.04 too, but installed 10.10 now, didnt want to do that but it was accidentally [14:09] grimlyhefty: you need to be connected to start it [14:09] should i to reinstall ? [14:09] coz_: right, I didn't mess with the settings though, I usually don't tinker around in there much, as you can tell. :) [14:10] LarsTo: up to you, use what distro you want [14:10] So how do I make pam do verbose logging ? [14:10] Ty for the assistance. [14:11] I wanted to install ubuntu 10.04 but grapped the wrong usb drive !! [14:11] now i installed 10.10 .. :) [14:11] shane4ubuntu, shouldnt be a problem.. if you mess up just open ccsm / preferences/ and reset to defaults [14:11] LarsTo: you've said that already [14:11] its recommend to format and install 10.04 then ? :) [14:11] LarsTo: it's you to YOU if you want to use 10.04 === bohn-adelphi is now known as dogbohn [14:11] ikonia: yes but very bad english [14:11] coz_: Thanks a bundle. [14:12] ok thanks [14:12] i just downloaded a file with firefox, it didn't save in tmp or Downloads and i've set it to not keep history, where could my file be? [14:12] shane4ubuntu, no problem...enjoy [14:12] he mensen [14:12] is a LTS more stable than a non LTS [14:12] or is it only longer supported [14:12] ruan: lol, check firefox settings for defualt download location [14:12] ruan: look in your preferences [14:12] is there a way to disable guest access to specific shared folders in ubuntu? [14:12] LarsTo: no [14:12] LarsTo: longer support [14:12] ok [14:12] ok.. :) [14:12] i downloaded a file at the same time and it saved in downloads :S [14:13] LarsTo, one thing about LTS is its long term support and the ease of updating to the next lts which is 12.0 I believe [14:13] * Tremwar is an IRC noob... [14:13] LarsTo, rather 12.04 [14:13] * grimlyhefty huggles Tremwar. [14:13] who [14:13] nope, it's not in downloads but i still downloaded it. not appearing from terminal either [14:13] big Praise for Ubuntu !! :) [14:13] yes 12.04 longer then [14:13] than === LarsTo is now known as LarsTorben [14:14] doesn't show up in ls -r in tmp or home [14:15] LarsTorben, which means form one LTS to the next ,, is a 2 year period ,... did I figure that right? [14:15] LarsTorben, sorry wrong nick [14:15] oy I guess he left [14:15] Is there a way I can get a list of available packages from just one of the sources in my list? [14:15] downloading again then.. [14:16] HA! Found it! I found where to activate verbose logging for PAM, now it says "User novacafe not allowed because shell /bin/scponly does not exist", I guess "Invalid User" error in auth.log also means invalid shell. [14:16] @ coz_ yes i understand you :) [14:16] heyy [14:16] guys I have to break here ,, I will try to be back in a while [14:16] how can i install vncviewer [14:17] Roger__, server or client side? [14:17] coz_ its recommend to update from LTS to LTS ? or is it better upgrading from release to release ? [14:17] client side [14:17] LarsT: your choice again [14:18] Just download the vncviewer and user your settings from the server-side install and it connects. [14:18] yes i know but what do you do ? [14:18] LarsT: it's what you do that is important [14:18] where i can dl it? [14:19] Roger_ : apt-cache search vncviewer then choose from the list [14:19] Roger__, google is your friend. [14:19] it sounds good, upgrading from LTS to LTS...but i often format so its no problem to format or upgrade every 6 / 18 months [14:19] ok tnx [14:20] Roger_ : to install use sudo apt-get install packagename [14:20] and the other question is, should a buy a new harddrive ?? if often formated it !! it is distroyed ?

Perhaps the bios thinks that it has a boot sector but it really doesn't? [14:49] it can be a pb with your firewall [14:49] ty [14:49] grimlyhefty: "netstat -antp" to see which ports are in use on your system [14:49] and if you're external and have permission to do so [14:50] I am trying to find a package with PHP-FPM, mysqlnd, PDO MySQL driver. [14:50] red2kic: http://trendog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/apple-aluminum-wired-keyboard-mb110lla_keys1.jpg [14:50] Combatjuan, I've tried that but for some reason it still freezes, it's very odd. [14:50] you could use NMAP [14:50] Guest72747: I'm not sure what vlc has to do with the kernel. Can you just "sudo apt-get install vlc"? [14:50] red2kic: are you talking about mouse or keyboard? [14:50] FlameTai1: Could be that your bios is confused and angered by USB 3.0? Maybe flash the bios with a new version? Sorry. I'm quite out of ideas. [14:51] farciarz84: Ah nice. I got a mac laptop. That thing aren't included. :) [14:51] Combatjuan:dat i also know how to install bt i want it to be installed by the kernel [14:51] Could someone please help me get my printer working in Karmic?? [14:51] Guest72747: I thought you were asking for kernel modules... packages are something external to the kernel and can not be integrated into! [14:51] cheryl, if it's working, it's all good [14:52] what is your point? may be we can help... the general idea behind your thoughts [14:52] grab some neurons.. [14:52] pmo5, It's not printing anything, so no, it's not working [14:52] d3vic3:r u sure its not possible to add package with the kernel [14:52] Guest72747: The phrase "installed by the kernel" is meaningless to me. [14:52] Guest72747, The kernel cant install software [14:52] cheryl, cups is boss [14:52] cheryl, 127.0.0.1:631 [14:52] FlameTai1: is your bios one of the new ones that supports EFI and it's trying to probe the device? === ashish is now known as wizash [14:53] Guest72747: nop :) [14:53] i have lts how to upgrade it to 10.10? [14:53] ferengee:bt wen will compile the kernel than i cud be installed or not? [14:53] pmo5, You mistook me for someone with more knowledge than I have!! [14:53] ProfessorDucky, thanks for the assist, however, I cannot connect to my server to see what the port is to connect via ssh. any suggestions what I should do? The server is an OVH box. [14:53] pmo5, The only cups I know are in my kitchen lol [14:53] Guest72747: Are you a native Englishs speaker? [14:53] Combatjuan:means it will be installed after the compilation of kernel [14:53] cheryl .. if you haven't already done, i suggest you install cups : 'sudo apt-get install cups' [14:53] Hello ProfessorDucky , i just wanted to know if using identd is any good 'cuz I ve heard lots of security issues with it. [14:54] Combatjuan, no i am not [14:54] Combatjuan:nop [14:54] peace I'm out === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [14:54] cheryl, then on a browser, you set it up using http://127.0.0.1:631 (you'll need root password) [14:54] i need a command which will take a screenshot from ssh [14:55] ruan, gimp [14:55] pmo5: from ssh? [14:55] hmm [14:55] pmo5, the apt-get didn't work, cups may already be installed, just dunno how to use 'em. [14:55] Guest72747, What is it exactly that you want to do, and if that fails, what is the error message that you receive [14:55] ruan, as long as it is on your screen [14:56] i have 10.4.1 lts how to upgrade it to 10.10? [14:56] pmo5: can it be saved as a jpg file? [14:56] Guest72747: I'm still a bit unclear on the goal. Perhaps you have a custom kernel that you compile yourself and it has some special extensions which help vlc with video decoding and you custom compile your vlc as well? And you want it to be a one-step process? [14:56] cheryl, if cup is install it should ask for a password when you try to open this web page 127.0.0.1:631 [14:56] ferengee:i wanna add the external package to the kernel during compilation,is there any way to integrate the package with kernel [14:56] ruan, gimp can do it [14:56] ok [14:56] pmo5: what would be the command [14:57] groundup: the php5 packages that ubuntu uses from debian are, for some reason, not compiled with mysqlnd and pdo support [14:57] Need Help! I've been trying to install my printer for hours on Ubuntu! Have tried cups, have tried downloading drivers from Canon website, and tried enhanced drivers from a sourceforge net. Nothing is working! [14:57] pmo5, No it didn't, but there was some sort of problem when I ran the sudo apt-get install cups command [14:57] tensorpudding: I am using the php-fpm package but it doesn't even have any compile flags [14:58] ruby look at the menus on gimp. when you save a file, extension will tell format .jpg for jpeg etc [14:58] Guest72747, if you want to extend the kernel with functionality that is not in your current kernel source, you will have to use a patch or download a source that has the functionality [14:58] :( [14:58] hey all [14:58] pmo5: this is from SSH, not gui [14:58] thx [14:58] Combatjuan: i have already compiled the latest kernel version in 9.04 but wat i want to do is add vlc with my kernel [14:58] i just got ubuntu 10.10 on a flash drive and im trying to update but it keeps taking dpkg errors [14:58] Guest72747, but vlc is a userspace progam that should not be in the kernel [14:59] cheryl, sort of.. :) .. you may ask .. well litteraly command should be : 'sudo apt-get install cups'. [14:59] it says my initramfs-tools isn't configured [14:59] how do i configure it? [14:59] ferengee: so theres no way to add any package with kernel externally [14:59] actually, alot of things aren't configured [14:59] cheryl, if something goes wrong either you tell us the exact reply.. / output or you ask ubuntu affiliates.. i don't use ubuntu [15:00] Guest72747: why do you want to package vlc with a kernel? [15:00] Guest72747: Sorry. You're still not making sense. Perhaps try your native language channel? Or do as ferengee says and post your command and the error. [15:00] groundup: are you sure you're checking the right package? [15:00] ruan, you can make use of gui through ssh.. depends on the variable DISPLAY [15:00] ubuntu, dpkg --configure -a [15:00] pmo5: yes but im sshing from a phone [15:00] pmo5, You don't want me to paste the error here, wot's the link for that please? [15:00] ruan: bcoz its my major project [15:00] * Combatjuan goes afk [15:00] tensorpudding: I have it installed. So, I'm not really sure. [15:01] pmo5, Then I can give you the output I got running sudo-apt get install cups [15:01] udev, plymouth, alsa-utils, gvfs-fuse, initramfs-tools, gdm, xserver-xorg-core, etc [15:01] ubuntu but there is probably a dependency conflict on your system [15:01] Well, I have another problem which is bigger. It's causing me to boot from a USB drive [15:01] ruan, actually i think what you are looking for is 'take a screenhot' on the command line.. [15:01] pmo5: yes [15:01] I get a blinking cursor when I boot. I am using Ubuntu Server 10.10. [15:01] pmo5: how do i do that? [15:02] ferengee: shouldn't be, it's a brand new install i downloaded 4 hours ago. installed to flash drive, loaded it up and tried to do a upgrade and all this stuff started breaking [15:02] cheryl, error message, only if it is not that big.. otherwise.. cutandpaste.org might be the right place [15:02] groundup: what happens if you hold down your shift key while booting? [15:02] groundup: lshift [15:02] ruan, actually i don't know.. [15:02] ubuntu, the upgrade might have broken it [15:02] pmo5: thanks anyway [15:02] now i cant apt-get anything because it keeps taking dpkg errors [15:02] ferengee: great... just what i wanted to hear.... [15:02] groundup: i mean, you were looking using the source package right? [15:03] ubuntu try dpkg --configure -a, and apt-get -f install and see what it says [15:03] tensorpudding: I was looking for the php-fpm package which I installed but none of that stuff was installed [15:03] ruan: nothing [15:03] I guess I have to compile it :( [15:03] i just said that they weren't compiled with mysqlnd support, there's actually a wishlist bug in the debian bugtracker explaining why [15:03] mbeierl, sorry went AFK, the mobo is a few years old lol, it's a Gateway 500 or somethin like that (The computer is) [15:03] ferengee: both give me the same errors. and it wont write a report because the maxreports limit has ben reached :: shrugs :: [15:04] pmo5, I will try a few things 'n return later when it's quieter, thanks for your help. Will also try 'n get in touch with a friend using Ubuntu! [15:04] ubuntu, do you have free space left? [15:04] Combatjuan, I might have to try that, the bios is pretty old after all.

Will it work from scratch in ubuntu? [15:04] FlameTai1: I've had problems with EFI recently, but older ones ... they should not care. It does sound like the BIOS is trying to do a USB boot from it and not getting a response. [15:05] farciarz84: it should, people have been running macs from ubuntu [15:05] groundup: as for pdo, you can install it using pecl [15:05] chalo bye duniya walo [15:05] ubuntu, can you see why the packages won't configure? [15:05] Yeah, I guess that's what I will have to do. [15:05] kisi ne bhi meri madad nhi ki [15:05] Not that I wanted to.

I used unetbootin to create a boot drive on a USB drive [15:08] saal7193: like rm /home/test/My\ Taxes.xls [15:08] Now, it won't change off of it.

I'm setting up a testing-Server (maverick) for our web-project. For testing with phpunit i need the php-cli version 5.2.6 to have the same preconditions as on our production-server (debian-lenny).

[15:29] uhon: if you require that level of similarity in your test environment you might consider using debian for it [15:30] iceroot, i dont understand [15:30] tensorpudding: actually i'd be happy if i could at least go with any php5.2 version [15:30] iceroot, if its %50 will download from %50 isn't it? [15:30] uhon: you'd probably want to do 'apt-get source --build-deps php5-cli' or whatever the name of the package is [15:31] iceroot, if its stopped in %50 will download from %50 isn't it? [15:31] jwtiyar: you upgrade 10 packages, at the 6. packages the connection is lost. so in the next step its downloading package 6 again and then 7-10 but not 1-5 [15:31] this command installs all the packages needed to build the source [15:31] iceroot, ahh ok i got it thanks again\ [15:31] these should be the same between the version you want and the version in ubuntu [15:31] tensorpudding: i'm not familliar with this command. what do i get from that? and should i run it on the debian machine? [15:32] jwtiyar: the finished packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [15:32] tensorpudding: The following packages have been kept back: libavformat52{a} libpostproc51{a} libswscale0{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: linux-headers-2.6.32-21{u} linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic{u} [15:32] how do i configure apache in ubuntu server to make /public_html dir in every users home dir to be accessable through server.com/~username ?the apache config confuse me alot :/ [15:32] * d3vic3 away on a task... brb [15:32] m|kael: just enable the module "mod_userdir" [15:32] I'm not used to updates *removing* things :-P [15:33] m|kael: imo its "sudo a2enable mod_userdir" [15:33] iceroot: let me try [15:33] uhon: why would you want to run it on the debian machine?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:34] ok [15:34] tensorpudding: sure i am, but when i do the command above, i'd fetch the sources for the actual ubuntu php5-cli version which is 5.3.3. or did i get something wrong?= [15:34] ray9na: that means that in its wisdom apt has decided you can't install the updates yet for some reason, also that it wants to remove some old kernels [15:34] hello people, i need and advice. i'm looking for agood video contact sheet creator that scans a given dir and sub dirs read the movies in it and makes the contact heet with proper file names, it is about an hour i'm googling around but i just found one btu the server to download it is down. any clues? running ubuntu 10.10 [15:34] my problem r the screen resolution [15:35] uhon: that command i gave you should install the packages needed to build th 5.3.3 source package, which are what you probably need to install the source you want [15:35] Okay, thanks. :) I guess this is how Ubuntu keeps itself nice and trim? [15:36] I don't think I'm even getting to grub [15:36] uhon: oh whoops! [15:36] that's the wrong command [15:36] hey can someone help me ? [15:36] i was confusing it with a different one [15:36] tensorpudding: allright, so that command resolves all the packages i need to build my own version of php? but the source which i actually compile should be 5.2? [15:36] iceroot: i restart apache with "service apache2 restart" correct? [15:36] Thanks for helping me figure things out, tensorpudding! Bye! [15:36] uhon: you want apt-get build-dep [15:36] uhon: you are right, that one compiles a source package... [15:37] m|kael: + sudo, yes [15:37] uhon: yes [15:38] iceroot: do i have to configure it somehow? [15:38] m|kael: normally not [15:38] uhon: you want to get the source from the debian source package, and build that (but by hand insteading of using the dpkg tools since that's going to not work since it assumes that you're using debian) [15:38] that way you get the same version as the debian one [15:39] iceroot: the dir should be /home/mikael/public_html right? [15:39] m|kael: correct and can be reached by http://localhost/~mikael [15:39] tensorpudding: allright i will try that. never compiled php myself. let's try ;) [15:39] How would I setup a forward using iptables so that connection against localhost:1433 is redirected to 1.2.3.4:1433 when the destination is not inside a NAT but external?

[16:41] !ru | Tobi2 [16:41] FuzzyFox0, check out what ayecee said above : ) [16:41] Tobi2: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [16:41] Chappy-san: heh, I mean end your current session [16:42] FuzzyFox0: find . -type f -exec cat {} \; [16:42] we use 11.04 Paieement [16:42] FunnyLookinHat: pardon me! [16:42] Chappy-san: sorry... was the cha guys that left [16:42] ayecee, ;) [16:42] ok je te pardonne ayecee [16:42] hahah [16:43] well who know about postfix ? [16:43] zertyui: i've heard it's a mail server. do you want to know something more specific about it? [16:43] i got this error with postfix : http://paste.ubuntu.com/590313/ [16:43] i don't know what to do ? [16:44] zertyui: um. these errors look like they're from dovecot, not postfix [16:44] zertyui: yeah, those are from dovecot, and not postfix [16:45] zertyui: you pasted junk into your dovecot.conf [16:45] yeah can't understand what's going on [16:45] hey === vhd is now known as vhd_afk [16:45] zertyui: llutz has it right, your config file is junk right there [16:45] zertyui: the warnings denote obsolete configuration parameters [16:45] How can I easily search for a file via the shell? [16:45] zertyui: the error is pretty clear too. your dovecot.conf enables ssl, but doesn't specify a cert file to use. [16:45] toad: with find [16:45] can someone help me with dovecot please? [16:45] zertyui: the fatal error is ssl being enabled, but you dont have a cert for it to use [16:45] o 'find' command? [16:45] awesome thanks [16:46] #dovecot isn't answering [16:46] but i generate ssl certification [16:46] toad: locate find [16:46] Kartagis: You can try #ubuntu-server [16:46] ayecee : Nope. I guess it's already linked to ttyusb0.... Can I "reset" this to try again ? [16:46] zertyui: you have to specify the crt with path [16:46] toad, find takes forever [16:46] locate find? [16:46] what about grep? [16:47] toad, if you run 'updatedb' then use the 'locate' command its much faster [16:47] does grep search names? [16:47] in which line ? [16:47] zertyui: after the line ssl = yes, in your dovecot.conf, add: ssl_cert = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem (replace with actual path/to/generated ssl) [16:47] toad: locate filenameorpartofit [16:47] cool [16:47] toad, grep filters your output [16:47] do I have to be in the directory of the file? [16:47] or does it search all lower dirs [16:47] toad: ls ~ | grep D [16:47] o it searches evertything [16:47] neat [16:47] !who | toad [16:47] toad: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:47] ok let me check that one [16:48] zertyui: a line like "ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/yourcert.pem" [16:48] toad, no locate is recursive, but if you havnt ran 'updatedb' and you try it wont be up to date [16:48] zertyui: grep ssl_cert /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf [16:48] I have no update.file [16:48] apparently [16:48] updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' [16:48] toad, yea.... so run updatedb... [16:48] I did [16:48] that was the result [16:48] toad, sudo updatedb? [16:49] toad: sudo may help [16:49] can anyone help me installing Conky? [16:49] i've tried already too many times [16:49] does it give confirmation of updating? [16:49] toad, naw it will take a sec [16:49] cause it just asked for pw then went to next line [16:49] h4xx0r_: sudo apt-get install conky# [16:49] I am looking to install the latest version, but I dont find it in the ubuntu software center [16:49] toad, if its ~300GB give it mabey 2min [16:49] nah, that command downloads 1.8.0 [16:49] I want 1.8.1 [16:49] available at conky's website [16:49] in a tar.gz package [16:50] ok [16:50] but I dont know what to do further :S [16:50] h4xx0r_, download source? compile it? [16:50] h4xx0r_, id start with the README/INSTALL files. [16:50] h4xx0r_: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ [16:50] never done that, and dont know how to do that [16:50] h4xx0r_: Check version for natty, or get source (or live with current version) [16:50] natty? [16:50] h4xx0r_, sudo apt-get build-dep conky, tar xvf conky.tar.gz, cd into the directory, and read the INSTALL file. [16:51] Okay, I have a pretty fresh install, I have my proper nvidia drivers I'm fairly sure, I'm trying to turn on compiz and after installing compizconfig-settings-manager and running compiz --replace when I boot up I get to my desktop and there are no top or bottom task bars and still no compositing enabled. I"m not sure what to try next. [16:51] h4xx0r_: Next release of Ubuntu (11.04) [16:51] lol [16:51] yea I know [16:51] :P [16:51] but its in beta now I guess? [16:51] h4xx0r_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:51] How can I chmod multiple files? [16:51] leg3nd, can I sort ls? [16:51] whats the option [16:51] zxiest: put multiple files on the command line [16:51] zxiest: chmod file1 file2 perhaps? [16:51] toad, try 'man sort' [16:52] toad, ;) [16:52] ruan perhaps? [16:52] zxiest: havent tried it. will check now [16:52] so how do I use that with ls? [16:52] sort ls -M? [16:52] ruan haha .. I thought you were being sarcastic [16:53] . [16:53] toad: ls is sorted alphabetically by default [16:53] toad, no when your combining commands in linux you use | [16:53] toad, so ' ls -la | sort ' [16:53] toad, something along those lines [16:53] ruan yup... It;s like you said =) [16:54] ok [16:54] toad: ls has some sort options of its own, they're described in the ls manpage [16:54] o I was looking threw it didnt see anything maybe I missed it [16:54] leg3nd, does it matter which is first? [16:54] is there a downloader which can download all .pdf from a free ebook site? [16:55] ssl = yes is commented have i to uncomment that one ? llutz [16:55] toad, umm it kinda depends on what your doing, but in that case yes [16:55] researcher123: wget or curl [16:55] researcher123: flashgot [16:55] for firefox [16:55] toad, its taking the output of your ls, using the "pipe" to filter the output through sort. [16:55] zertyui: uncomment it and set it to no, maybe [16:55] ah [16:55] right [16:56] so it does matter [16:56] I need to learn more about pipes [16:56] mithran: were you able to config apache correctly? [16:56] toad, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto [16:56] shcherbak: ruan: I tried flashgot does not download all available .pdf. Am I making any error? [16:56] toad, some good information on piping and general linux CLI usage in there [16:57] oh you know what, I read most of that and stopped before the 'pipes' section [16:57] :P [16:57] researcher123: did you right click the page and click 'flashgot all' ? [16:57] ayecee : Did you see my answer ? Any other ideas ? [16:57] zertyui: are you sure it isn't enabled somewhere else? your paste states "ssl enabled" [16:58] waldir: I managed to get phpsysinfo working properly, but it responds only to 'http:///phpsysinfo.php', I am trying to make the webpage load for 'http://', thanks a lot for the help, Ive learnt a lot!! [16:58] toad, piping is probably the best thing about linux in my opinion, it allows for amazing versatility and endless possibilities. [16:58] ruan: Yes I did that [16:58] ruan: may be I need to try properly === idk is now known as iderik [16:58] researcher123: is wget chosen as a downloader? [16:58] waldir: any pointer? [16:58] researcher123: All free .pdf, is sort of task, test wget , look how book are addressse (check if it is possible to combine curl and wget into loop). [16:58] JDivision: what's the device id? should be in the output of "lsusb", in the format xxxx:xxxx [16:58] mithran: that's all I know about setting up a server on ubuntu, sorry [16:58] ruan: I never tried wget [16:59] How come my symlink gets broken when I move it away from the source's dir? :/ i though the purpose of a link was that i could keep it in another dir than the source [16:59] I note these stuff down for future reference :) [16:59] shcherbak: ok. let me try [16:59] no, this line : ssl = yes was commented [16:59] waldir: thanks a lot, I think i know enough to google and figure it out now [16:59] :) [16:59] mithran: yay :D [16:59] researcher123: pass me linky so can have a peek, and tell you if it is possible to do it fast. [17:00] after uncommenting this line and set to no i got this now : http://paste.ubuntu.com/590324/ llutz [17:00] shcherbak: ok. I just installed flashgot but cant find from where to run [17:00] ayecee : Here is the output : Bus 001 Device 021: ID 0bb4:0ca2 High Tech Computer Corp. [17:01] zertyui: it looks like dovecot started successfully. [17:01] researcher123: run what exactly? [17:01] zertyui: use this guide to configure Dovecot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot [17:01] zertyui: check your config, it contains junk (line 718++) [17:01] hello [17:01] is there who work for dell [17:01] ruan: want to run flashgot === herton is now known as herton_lunch [17:01] you have several obsolete settings in you dovecot.conf [17:01] After doing this command: ln -s pic1.jpg pic2.jpg | mv pic2.jpg /home/anotherdir/pic2.jpg [17:01] the symlinks demands to be thrown in trash because its broken [17:01] researcher123: it's a firefox addon so it's accessible from addons > flashgot > preferences [17:01] timsom: This is all community provided volunteer support. [17:01] how come? :S [17:02] iderik: why would you pipe ln to mv? [17:02] ruan: ok.thanks [17:02] iderik: The symlink links to ./pic2.jpg and it's no longer there, since you moved it. [17:02] ayecee: i didnt mean to pipe it, its just two diff commands which i run on two diff lines [17:02] magn3ts, you can do so at System => Settings => Shortcut Keys [17:02] ah === blamar__ is now known as blamar [17:03] iderik, instead of a pipe you could have used a semi-colon ; [17:03] iderik, or even && === Benwa_ is now known as Benwa [17:03] yeah, && does the next command if the first was successful [17:03] leg3nd: oh, thanks :) && is great [17:04] JDivision: does it work if you "mv /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyACM0" after connecting it? I kind of wonder if it presents enough of an ACM profile to do that. [17:04] Hi To All :) [17:04] ruan, does semi-colon wait for command completion? [17:04] fine one line was uncommented with this one ! that's why i got that error [17:04] ruan, i know it represent a new line so id think so right? [17:04] hi Swatkish [17:04] Ayecee : Trying [17:04] jink: i though pic1 is the source/original and pic2 is the shortcut [17:04] linux is awesome I agree [17:04] leg3nd: yes [17:04] leg3nd: they both wait for completion [17:04] ruan, kk thnx [17:05] JDivision: if it does do ACM, you might have to add the usb id to the ACM driver. Maybe more. I don't know how easy that would be. [17:05] where are you from ? [17:05] Swatkish, I'm from the Netherlands, why? [17:05] iderik: Ok, erhm, either way. A symlink is just a textfile, basically. So it doesn't update to the new path or whatever. It just contains whatever you put in there. And if that's relative, it will remain relative to the directory it's in. [17:05] i'm just asking :) [17:05] I'm from Macedonia [17:05] how are you [17:05] :D [17:05] !ot [17:05] #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! [17:06] jink: oh, so the path is not updated! so there is not possible to move symlinks then [17:06] Ayecee : Nope (no such file or directory) ACM0 is not created.... [17:06] jink: thanks for the help [17:06] im from macedonia too [17:06] iderik: No, not really. At least not in the way you want to do it. :) [17:06] nice :) i'm from bulgaria :) [17:06] The phone can be seen in ACM0 (it's the default behavior on forums I've checked...) [17:06] oooo bulgaria [17:07] yes yes i agree with Jdivision [17:07] Ayecee : The phone can be seen in ACM0 (it's the default behavior on forums I've checked...) [17:07] jink: so there is a way?! tell me, please :D [17:07] Good for you Kevin^ :) [17:08] iderik: You could make a hard link if the files are on the same partition. And relative links will still work if you move both the symlink and the target, for example. [17:08] u dont even know what they talkin bout [17:08] yes yes i agree with kevin :) [17:08] hahahah [17:08] i am having problem with changing X engine files [17:08] in 10.10 , how to change resoultion of screen , System->preferences -> applet is not showing the desired resolution [17:08] ubuntu often plays with the file :( [17:08] lol [17:08] and with you JDivision [17:08] I've gone everywhere looking to see why I get the blinking cursor issue. [17:08] JDivision: maybe misunderstood. /dev/ttyUSB0 exists, right? [17:09] ? [17:09] I figured.... :) [17:09] jink: oh thanks :) [17:09] this is nice chat [17:09] :D [17:09] Ayecee : Yes, when I plug the phone, /dev/ttyusb0 is created on the fly [17:09] JDivision: is it ttyusb0, or ttyUSB0 ? [17:09] any quiz? pliiz [17:10] thanks llutz [17:10] welln do you know about mailutils ? llutz i just send message using through mailutils [17:11] CHC: quiz? [17:11] i don't know where to check the mail ? [17:11] oops [17:11] Hey, when booted on a Live-CD, should I install Ubuntu on a USB stick from the Startup disk creator or the ordinary install? [17:11] Ayecee : Let me check again... [17:11] JohnHeikkila: up to you where you install it [17:11] hye... [17:12] I'm getting a "Could not calculate the upgrade" error while upgrading to 11.04 beta. Any help? [17:12] !natty [17:12] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [17:12] what are the diffrences between using WUBI and boot up/.. [17:12] ikonia, As I said, on a USB memory stick. [17:12] Hazly: you mean the difference between wubi and a regular install? [17:12] zertyui: what about mailutils? [17:12] yes.. [17:13] Hazly: a wubi installation depends on windows and has a .disk file [17:13] JohnHeikkila: yes, and where you install it is up to you [17:13] Hazly: a regular installation doesn't and installs to the disk [17:13] JohnHeikkila: Startup disk creator does just that..mainly transfers a install CD image to a USB device so you can install Ubuntu from that USB ... not on it [17:13] i just send mail using through mailutils to an local user what i created during the installation of postfix [17:13] oh,.... [17:13] how to check the mail if i received or not ? [17:13] zertyui: type "mail" as that user [17:14] zertyui: mail or -u user [17:14] ikonia, I just figured to ask because I've installed several different ubuntu versions (format, install, format, etc) and not one has booted well - just the flashing _ symbol === Peer is now known as Guest12707 [17:14] Ayecee : it says "usb0" when I connect it but can't find it in /dev..... (only usbmon0...) [17:14] there is an OBNOXIOUS memory leak in indicator-applet. wtffff. [17:14] ikonia, From the Live-CD [17:14] can anyone tell me ndiswrapper is using for what? [17:14] effing 2.5GB [17:15] so the correct command is mail -u user ? [17:15] crescendo: wow [17:15] zertyui: only if you want read "user"s mail, not your own [17:15] crescendo: restart the process [17:15] JDivision: where does it say usb0? [17:15] crescendo: how did you determine that number? [17:15] zertyui: if logged in with user, mail is enough ... if logged on as another user then you need mail -u [17:15] ruan, yeah, already done. but this isn't the first time it's happened. [17:15] ruan : can anyone tell me ndiswrapper is using for what? [17:16] sipior, system monitor, memory column [17:16] Hazly: it's used for "wrapping" windows device drivers for use with Linux [17:16] Ayecee : in a notification pop-up window (like "Wired network activated").... [17:16] ikonia : to make it work with ubuntu? [17:16] Hazly: to try to [17:16] JDivision: i'm lost on this one [17:16] Has anyone got issues with the repos? [17:16] crescendo: indicator applet and not indicator applet-session? [17:16] DarkStar1: which ones [17:16] DarkStar1: what type of issues [17:16] Ayecee : Sorry.... [17:17] ruan, process name was "indicator-applet" [17:17] I'm trying to get samba from the repos and gadmin tools [17:17] !ask | DarkStar1 [17:17] DarkStar1: 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. :-) [17:17] ruan, I bet you're fingering session social networks as the cause. I don't use that, if you are. [17:17] DarkStar1, Isn't it working? [17:17] crescendo: and what does "free" report? [17:17] DarkStar1, Does it give an error message? [17:17] crescendo: that's the sound settings and mail applet [17:18] Hey, I'm somewhat of a newbie to Ubuntu(and linux in general) i.e I installed it about half hour ago, but I've been presented with 294 updates, do I really need them all? [17:18] sipior, I already terminated the process, so free would report erroneous or irrelevant data at this point. [17:18] what are atheros patch for? [17:18] ruan, yeah I know -- which is why it's so puzzling [17:18] can I still boot into bt4 with ubuntu installed? would that cause any alarms [17:18] Alpha_Atom: it's normal to have many updates from a new install [17:18] Alpha_Atom, They're not _necessary_ but may be useful with the bugfixes [17:18] alpha_atom, no, but unless you are runnign a production server, I wouldn't worry about installing them all. [17:18] I'll just get them all then [17:18] anyone use bitcoin money on ubuntu before? [17:18] sipior, ruan, after it re-launched itself it's only using 2.7MB. [17:19] Alpha_Atom, Sure ;) Will save a lot of your hair ;) [17:19] thanks btw :D [17:19] crescendo: personally i dont use that applet [17:19] crescendo: my suspicion is that there is no memory leak, and that you are misinterpreting the results from System Monitor. it would be interesting to see what free reports, once the problem reoccurs. [17:19] mail -u [17:19] not working [17:19] ruan, yeah, I'm going to disable it. It's not useful. [17:19] crescendo: i have physical volume control and a thunderbird shortcut [17:19] zertyui: try "mail" [17:19] ruan, ah, the good ol' days of local mail...

Any ideas what to look for [18:46] kawohi: We really can't provide support for running things under Wine here. Have you asked in #winehq ?

[18:46] okay, sde1 is the drive with the ubuntu server install, fdisk -l is reading that "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary" Does this mean there is a problem installing onto the ssd, or should I go ahead and try to reinstall grub? [18:46] Quintin, you can easily fix that, it's just a matter of a single config switch in the X.Org config.

[19:31] photorec is, a prayer is something you say to god [19:31] Just testing that my nickname is correct [19:31] psusi: do you mean there is no way to recover files ? [19:32] Not in your case LOL [19:32] netbook version of ubuntu... sucks. cant believe i wasted my time on this [19:32] alabd: no, I mean you can try photorec, and saying a prayer because it is inherently unreliable so you may or may not get lucky [19:34] hi guys: some nic details are accessible through /sys/class/net ... but where do I get the ip details ?

[19:46] hi all, what is the release date of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? [19:47] GuySoft: #ubuntu+1 [19:47] QUESTION: ubuntu keeps kicking me off ssh sessions with "Write failed: Broken pipe". i've googled hardcore and found many people with this problem only with ubuntu, but ive tried each possible fix and no improvement. is there a fix i havent found? seems like a popular problem. [19:47] ? [19:47] iceroot, wha? [19:47] !natty | GuySoft [19:47] GuySoft: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [19:48] iceroot, thanks! :) [19:48] Adom: that happens when there's a network hiccup (or for me, frequently when ive remotely rebooted the machine im ssh'd into). could also be that youve not typed anything in ssh in so long that it's timed out, in which case you can raise the timeout limit [19:48] How can I disable shift + del shortcut in system? I am using this shortcut in editor where it removes whole line, but system also puts it into clipboard and I want to prevent this behavior. [19:48] GuySoft: he means the other channel. However use your favorite search engine and look for 11.04 release schedule [19:49] maco: i thought it was timing out as well but i've tried adding "TCPKeepAlive yes" and "ServerAliveInterval 200" to ssh_config and still does it [19:49] maco: also, it happens with any ssh server, so i konw its my desktop ubuntu, not the server === mike_ is now known as Guest37676 [19:50] What is a good little program on ubuntu to time?

[19:50] Quantum: Doesn't evolution do that? [19:51] I don't know what envolution is but Ill look it up [19:51] Quantum: Actually take a look into Kalarm [19:51] Quantum: It's in the Software Center [19:52] BBgamer: sweet! Thanks a lot! [19:53] If I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu, would that remove all of my files? [19:53] I was wondering if anyone here knew of a program that is able to turn a quick succession of a key into another keystroke? [19:54] I use my laptop in my car regularly for music and don't want to do any combinations of keystrokes to change track/pause/random.

[20:00] Hi. [20:01] Some MAY have an answer, but are harbouring the answer for the correct question (or rephrasing thereof) to be put forth... [20:01] looking for someone who knows if there's any advance on getting iTunes to run under Wine since it stopped working after iTunes 9 came out? [20:01] Stereocaulon: hmmm. yeah i kinda figured as much... people have been telling me that ubuntu is "much faster" than fedora for video playback, but then i see the same crappy cpu hogging resource-underutilizing underlying linux subsystems like pulseaudio... [20:01] Why would you wait for a rephrasing of the question? If you understand it, why not provide an answer? [20:01] twiglet, Short answer: NO. [20:02] how can u change the inactivity timeout for 10.04 .. the one that takes you back to a login popup? [20:02] YankDownUnder: yeah i thought not... thanks... [20:02] twiglet, that would be a wine question not a ubuntu question [20:02] Primedeath, Because I can. [20:02] :) [20:02] So, you do know of a program that can do what I need? [20:02] what's your need? [20:02] !panels [20:02] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:02] @ Primedeath [20:02] Primedeath, It's early in the morning and I wasn't paying attention to your question, ergo, I don't know what your question was in the first place. [20:03] Primedeath, what if you reroute all input to a script that continually asks for input and acts as an intermediary? Your Media would need cmd-line input functionality in order for this to work [20:03] i asked here because it'd be ubuntu we were running under, i guess wine ought to be platform independent but in practise these things often aren't! [20:03] sinisterstuf, I am looking for a program that is able to translate a key and a quick succession of it.. Say space be normal, but a double tap of space within 250ms would translate into another, say ALT+F1. [20:03] twiglet, most things that run in wine are platform independent... [20:03] twiglet, wine proper only runs on x86-architectures. [20:03] If I install Ubuntu while another Ubuntu is already installed, does it overwrite my files? [20:04] I use my laptop in my car regularly for music and I would like to just to be able to use space for playing the next track, pausing, and randomizing. Single, pause. Double, next. Triple, random next. [20:04] groundup, only if you tell it to [20:04] slipp3d, no, i mean there are often quirks to certain versions of Wine on certain linuxes and soon === Robert_ is now known as Guest85359 [20:04] Primedeath, how soon do you need it? [20:04] Do you understand what I am looking for? [20:04] twiglet, iTunes is the prime reason why some folks just do NOT switch to linux. Apple will NOT release code nor information about it; it's more profitable for them to maintain ONLY Mac and Windows based code. [20:04] sinisterstuf not in too much of a hurry. [20:04] I just don't want to take my eyes off the road and using space is just easymode. [20:05] Primedeath, I'll have a look for something that does that [20:05] Primedeath, or else I *might* be able to make something like that from scratch [20:05] YankDownUnder: yeah, I'm aware of that, i'm nursing my partner's ailing laptop and he's an iTunes diehard... [20:05] Primedeath, Stickykeys + Rhythmbox. [20:05] Thank you sinisterstuf. I am surprised that something like that doesn't exist. [20:05] asking on the off chance really [20:06] Hi guys! I have a Laptop HP6010p with dual batteries but ubunut only uses one of the batteries [20:06] YankDownUnder, how would would that work? I am unfamiliar with Stickykeys. [20:06] Primedeath, actually, this is really specific. [20:06] rossorosso, this is a kernel issue, not Ubuntu per se [20:06] anyway thanks for the help [20:06] twiglet, The closest - CLOSEST thing you're going to get is called "Nightengale" - which is a fork of Songbird - there is no real download, however, there is an SVN source tree that it can be compiled from. [20:07] Well, not really. I would have global hotkeys for ALT+F1-F4. Tapping space within say 250ms would cause it to just relay ALT+F1. [20:07] i have a ubuntu box running 9.10 what file holds the xorg.conf typ settings as i cannot find xorg.conf any where [20:07] Instead of two spaces. [20:07] YankDownUnder - yeah he'd never go for that, not a power user at all, best to stck wth the familiar [20:07] This is when I wish I had gotten into programming when I was a younger lad.

[20:07] YankDownUnder, thanks for the help though [20:08] rossorosso, maybe, you'll need a custom-built kernel or the controller that manages the switch between the batteries is not supported [20:08] Primedeath, sure [20:09] hey, small problem. Windows killed grub, I followed instructions but I only get a grub command line when I try to boot. I have a seperate boot partition if that makes a difference. [20:09] Stereocaulon, okay... I have 2 machines and both running ubuntu 10.10 but on the other laptop it works ..I' gonna check what kernel version that computer has [20:09] junixbr, please specifiy your question, the ... problem is too vague [20:09] rossorosso, please pastebin your lspci [20:09] hey, small problem.

[20:12] ok. when i plug in my headphones. the sound comes through them like it should but the speakers dont silence. whats up with that? [20:12] i know this is more a hardware question than an ubuntu question, but does anybody know how i can tell if my computer's power supply is struggling or near its current limit or over the limit? [20:12] !ask | smash420 [20:12] smash420: 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. :-) [20:12] any alternatives to gnome 3 / unity ubuntu [20:12] Narc: I saw that as well.. [20:12] stimoceiver, , I must be referring to an old release then, thanks for updting my info on this [20:13] Stereocaulon: np glad to help [20:13] chaorain, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:13] any alternatives to gnome 3 / unity ubuntu [20:13] PAPANOSTAA: i use kde [20:13] maco: kubuntu ? :) [20:13] PAPANOSTAA: yes [20:13] 10.10 ? [20:14] PAPANOSTAA: 10.10 here, 11.04 on my laptop [20:14] smash420, try using alsamixer and kill the line inputs and mic, those could be causing the noise you experience [20:14] Is there any way to download things from iplayer? (as movie files like mp4 or whatever) [20:14] ok [20:14] i have virtual box installed and it has some OS also my question is that when i upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 will it affect my virtual box ose OS [20:14] but dont really like kde :) [20:14] PAPANOSTAA: then try Xubuntu? [20:14] YankDownUnder: followed that and now here I am. Stereocaulon: I'm using Grub2 and I allready tried the second link [20:14] jiltdil, I don't think so, VirtBox just emulates the hardware [20:15] Stereocaulon: its not a white noise or anything. the audio just continues [20:15] tried too... xubuntu i dont like either... i think i really like kde more than xfce [20:15] Stereocaulon:thanx [20:15] jiltdil, np [20:15] I want to install a new version of Ubuntu but I want to backup all of my packages that's taken me 3 days to download. Any advice? [20:15] groundup: they're in /var/cache/apt/archives [20:16] and I want to backup all of the config files for things like php, nginx, percona-server [20:16] Which are in /etc and /var [20:16] maco, groundup, if only that "distro" from Redmond would be so transparent about it's updates...;-) [20:17] What does that have to do with this? [20:18] groundup, just backup /etc and /home and you have backed up virtually every setting on your system [20:18] Nothing is in /home [20:18] it's all in /var [20:18] groundup: so backup those... [20:18] ... and /usr [20:19] groundup, so you don't have any per-user settings? Are you sure about that? If you serve multiple users, the *will* be pissed off [20:19] groundup, so you don't have any per-user settings? Are you sure about that? If you serve multiple users, they *will* be pissed off [20:19] Stereocaulon, did u read the pastebin of my lspci? =) [20:19] rossorosso, sorry, no not yet, just a sec. [20:19] Stereocaulon, no panic I can see that u are really busy :) [20:20] Stereocaulon: I installed this distro like 2 days ago. I have been dealing with a blinking cursor issue that I can't seem to fix. I am the only user and I've been using root so I can move faster. There is one other user but it doesn't possess anything [20:20] any alternatives to gnome 3 / unity ubuntu [20:20] groundup: Do you have more than one hard drive? [20:21] no [20:21] rossorosso, I have read it, couldn't find any strange hardware. Intel HW is usually quite well supported on linux. [20:21] llutz: psusi what should be selected for table type in testdisk ? intel ? EFI?? [20:22] Jordan_U: I have just one hard drive, there is a CD-R and USB drive in there [20:22] groundup: Please run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt [20:22] rossorosso, I am puzzled to not see any Power Management chip included on your list. No ACPI or something like that. [20:23] Stereocaulon, the thing is that I have 2 laptops they are almost the same , the only difference is that one is Centrino PRO and the other Centrino vPRO I have ubuntu on both machines.could the battery be broken since it says that energy when full 0 WH? [20:24] rossorosso, is this a multiboot system, or is Ubuntu the only OS installed on your notebook? [20:24] Stereocaulon, ubuntu is the only OS [20:26] Hello. Can I make Ubuntu install Debian packages? Will this break anything? How do I do this? [20:26] hello [20:26] some online [20:26] duffy: yes, ubuntu can install debs from debian, and yes it can break stuff [20:26] rossorosso, I'd try to find a LiveCD or something like it, that has a test suite for Intel chipsets. You might try Hirens BootDisk if you don't mind to step into a gray area when it comes to legal issues... [20:26] duffy: be very careful about dependencies and versions and such. debian packages wont be supported in here [20:26] ok. It's a lisp package :) [20:27] do I just add the normal debian lines at sources.list? [20:27] Stereocaulon, okay I will do that :) === Ayrton` is now known as Ayrton [20:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/590421/ what's wrong with this packages [20:28] My god, linux can't even handle a video with out crashing firefox. [20:28] i can not found in ubuntu 10.10 repositories libgtkhtml can i use other one for this [20:28] duffy, try to check out the package first to see if it does not install any general supporting packages as well. Those are usually a good candidate for breaking a system... [20:28] thanks stereocaulon [20:29] miles__, that's no issue of Firefox, but rather an issue of the incredibly buggy flash plugin by Adobe [20:29] Can anyone help me with vsftpd: http://pastie.org/1764277 [20:29] duffy, np :-) [20:30] Still linux handling everything. [20:30] chaorain, Um...sorry...was busy - so ya sorted yerself out? [20:30] Hello Ubuntu Masters...can I change 10.10 desktop installtion to Netbook Ubuntu? [20:30] miles__, liinux != Firefox plugin by Adobe. the software really matters here [20:30] so, kind of a "downgrade" [20:30] Jordan_U: sorry it's taking so long, but all of a sudden it doesn't want to accept incoming connections [20:31] miles__, typo that might inspire to create a linux distro that runs on the Wii [20:31] And Adobe isn't open sourced. [20:31] vaadoo: search for the netbook metapackage in synaptic [20:32] Stereocaulon: linux has over like, what. 500,000 distros, But they all can't handle adobe flash. [20:32] miles__: don't like it, don't use it, youtube works amazing here [20:32] I installed xubuntu on top of ubuntu, and now xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver fight for the screen whenever I leave the computer alone for a while. How do I deactivate gnome-screensaver? [20:32] thanks...the reason is that my laptop is really old and is low on resources...i want to stick to ubuntu. [20:32] guampa, i'm not talking about youtube. [20:33] miles__, dont cry [20:33] I was given a .sh file called test [20:33] hi, ubuntu isn't installing in my $10,000 laptop [20:33] I want to call test on the command line and have it automatically run test.sh how do i do that [20:33] so, if i install the netbook metapackage, will it disable/delete the regular 10.10? [20:33] An_Ony_Moose, SYSTEM => PREFERENCES => STARTUP APPLICATIONS => disable whichever. [20:33] miles__, You are probably using a 64 bits install, right? To use the 32-bits (=stable) version of the Adobe plugin you'll need 32-bits versions installed of all the relevant libs. [20:33] ray24: the price is irrelevant, it's the hardware that matters [20:33] YankDownUnder: thanks [20:34] pankaj_sharma: i'm just saying they shouldn't worry about having more then 20 packages and stick getting things to work. [20:34] stereocaulon: i am using 32bits [20:34] hmmm.... IP changed. duh [20:34] #ubuntu-br [20:34] I was given a test.sh file called test. I want to call test on the command line and have it automatically run test.sh how do i do that [20:34] lol great advice An_Ony_Moose [20:34] could you guys tell me how to add additional shortcuts to programs to my Wine>Programs group? [20:34] I was given a test.sh file called test. I want to call test on the command line and have it automatically run test.sh how do i do that [20:34] please? [20:34] You're right, I overpaid. [20:34] from command line? hehe [20:34] ray24, You might be running into TPM problems, try switching off the TPM module in your BIOS/ (U)EFI [20:35] ray24: my point is that the price is irrelevant if you want us to help you, we need to know specs [20:35] vaadoo: no, it's going to install it with they dependencies, in other word it doesn't uninstall anything [20:35] Bisu[Shield]: make the script executable: chmod -v u+x test.sh - then call it: ./test.sh [20:35] Bisu[Shield], just use ./test.sh === jenkins-5 is now known as jenkins [20:35] Bisu[Shield], run sudo ./test.sh in the terminal [20:35] ray24: and what's actually wrong. Have you succeeded at installing it? Do you get an error somewhere? [20:35] I just want to call test and not ./test.sh [20:36] Jordan_U: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10645989#post10645989 [20:36] whats the best way to install ubuntu with out a cd? [20:36] I would like to have a lighter version of ubuntu instead...and was wondering if i can do it without having to burn a new dvd and starting from scratch [20:36] BluesKaj: don't recommend sudo without knowing what the script does [20:36] i wanna install it in a netbook [20:36] or on a netbook [20:36] Bisu[Shield], in that case, include it in your executable path, but be really careful with that setting. [20:36] tprice: use a usb stick [20:36] usb stick or network install [20:36] tprice: by my experience, USB stick is the best way to go [20:37] Bisu[Shield], ~/. bashrc , and make an alias like , test=test.sh [20:37] Bisu[Shield]: don't use sudo - whats the problem with ./test.sh ? [20:37] Bisu[Shield], please pastebin test.sh [20:37] Okay can anyone tell me how to just do it normally? l ol [20:38] I'm running Natty Beta right now. I've been playing around with installing packages and I keep breaking it. I was wondering, therefore, if there is a way to download a package (like apt-get download) or something that wouldn't actually install the package; it would just download it into a runnable installation file. Is there a way to do this? Thanks! [20:38] !natty | LinuxFetus [20:38] LinuxFetus: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [20:38] oh snap network install it is! [20:38] Why does windows-button + e show four desktops? [20:38] Oh sorry about taht. [20:38] groundup: Boot Ubuntu using your flash drive (it will boot your installed Ubuntu from the hard drive) then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". [20:38] LinuxFetus, You can go online and do a search for the packages [20:38] and you can downlaod them [20:39] also I think you can do it via command line [20:39] groundup: The problem is that grub was installed to the flash drive instead of your internal drive. Your internal drive has no bootloader currently. [20:39] Muimi, check the keyboard bindings in System => Preferences => Keyboard Shortcuts [20:39] I was booted via USB [20:39] groundup, and...did it hurt? :-P [20:40] how hard would it be to add an hard drive to a working server without redoing the os [20:40] I get a screen that says "The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary. Linux command line: " it is blank [20:40] guntbert, I thought it was a std script [20:41] LinuxFetus, Actually you can use apt-get just make sure you use the -d option [20:41] ssfdre38, not hard at all, just add the drive (assuming that it's hot-swappable(!) ) , add the relevant line in fstab and top it off with mount -a [20:41] LinuxFetus, that tells it to download and not install [20:41] dotblank: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntustudio-audio Is there a download link there that I'm missing? [20:41] Can I force a desintall with dpkg even if the post remove script fails? (I want to override the script) [20:41] Stereocaulon: its a self-bulit and self hosted from an old computer [20:41] with mplayer is it possible to limit first start window playback size in say percents? [20:41] do you know how to add a hotkey to open "Applications" drop-down menu? [20:42] (via command line) [20:42] LinuxFetus, actually yes.. its under "Download ubuntustudio-audio" [20:42] how can my script to tell my ubuntu is 10.04, 10.10? [20:42] uname -a does not tell it [20:42] ssfdre38, yes, OK, but does it have room for SATA drives, which are by their very nature (if unmounted(!!!) ) hot-swappable? [20:42] guntbert, and I found a better idea anyway , open ~/,bashrc and create an alias for it [20:42] LinuxFetus, also i think that may be a meta package [20:42] xxiao, lsb_release -a [20:42] the only place i know is the apt source file [20:42] can anyone help me to get my eth sis 900 to be managed via networ manager? [20:43] if you're testing your sound, this youtube vid is great for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9GBf8y0lY0 [20:43] Stereocaulon: IDE [20:43] dotblank, It says those are only 6.1 KB [20:43] BluesKaj: I try to not assume things - yes I saw :) [20:43] LinuxFetus, yea its a meta package [20:43] dotblank, The -d option should be fine, though. [20:43] Sonne: that helps, thanks! [20:43] dotblank, I thought meta == source package. [20:43] and its not hot swappable [20:43] ssfdre38, IDE can't be hot-installed, that would break both your motherboard and your HDD [20:43] LinuxFetus, it means it doesn't actually contain anything just a list of dependancies [20:43] Muimi: don't paste random links in here please [20:44] LinuxFetus, for example ubuntu-desktop package is a empty package with dependancies on what makes an ubuntu desktop [20:44] Can I force a desintall with dpkg even if the post remove script fails? (I want to override the script) [20:44] i know i just want to know if there is a easy way of doing it with IDE to add an HDD is there a way to have the server see it and add it to the main HDD [20:45] Lars_G, I think you can use a --force optrion [20:45] Jordan_U: any tips for what I should put in there? [20:45] ssfdre38, of course, but only after you have powered down the system and physically installed the drive [20:45] Lars_G, try dpkg --force-help [20:45] Stereocaulon: well yea i know [20:46] dotblank: I tried force all and didn't help [20:46] It's not random, guntbert. [20:46] i just need to kow if there is any docs on it [20:46] God. Don't use my name unless you have something worthwhile to say. lol [20:46] I'm wanting to add to a makefile something that will allow me to basically compile files that were not already compiled. Using something like "$make something.o" "$make another.o" then being able to use "$make filename" resulting in it making the rest of the files. From what I've read I should be using patterns (something with the %?) but I'm really not sure how to go about this. [20:46] Lars_G, maybe you can use it as an option in apt-get remove [20:46] ssfdre38, try "man mount" and "man fstab" [20:46] groundup: Leave it blank. [20:46] Stereocaulon: ok thanks [20:46] hey back on that installing ubuntu what if i wanted to install ubuntu on a hard drive then replace that hard drive back into another pc? [20:46] How often is var/cache/apt/archives emptied? [20:46] buov, maybe #bash [20:47] would there be much problem with the change over? [20:47] tprice, not a good idea [20:47] Jordan_U: The following string will be used as Linux parameters for the default menu entry but not for the recovery mode. Linux default command line: [ splash quiet ] [20:47] dotblank: nope [20:47] LinuxFetus, not too sure.. but you can manually invoke it [20:47] groundup: Leave it at the default and continue. [20:48] ssfdre38, you can check which drive knode is associated with the drive with sudo sfdisk -l [20:48] Hey guys weird question, will hard drive disks spin both ways or just one? [20:48] LinuxFetus, by setting an environmental variable or some complicated option you can change the cache location [20:48] what about putting a live cd on the hard drive? [20:48] Joooon: only one I think, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #hardware [20:48] Gnome 3 FTW [20:48] tprice, whynot just burn a live-cd, and run that on the other pc ..you must remember the HW will be different [20:48] Lars_G, well I'm out of ideas :/ [20:48] Joooon, single direction only. [20:48] i created a wireless network with my home PC. how do i ssh into that PC ( how do i find out its IP ) [20:48] i dont have a cd or usb drive [20:48] Joooon: just one [20:48] from a laptop [20:48] Joooon: more hardware questions in ##hardware i guess [20:49] what makes an eth device to be "not managed" via ubuntu? its detected in lscpi [20:49] dotblank: thanks [20:49] andai1, you could try pinging the computer name [20:49] also you could do a broadcast ping and look at the arp table [20:49] An_Ony_Moose, Stereocaulon , erUSUL thanks for the help thats all I needed =D you guys rock [20:49] or you can scan the netmask [20:49] Lack of proper driver for device makes it "unmanaged" [20:49] Jordan_U: going to take a wild guess on this one and go with /dev/sda (or /sda1) http://pastebin.com/Jtd2Q8ez [20:50] Bingo [20:50] Joooon, np, just curious why you want to know the capabilities?, are you thinking of an offbeat hardware hack like a HDD clock? [20:50] catch22 for me then, have to "download" de driver [20:50] dtcrshr: an entry in /etc/network/interfaces, that has more than auto..... [20:50] dotblank: Removed the script, it was on /var/lib/dpkg/info [20:50] dotblank: This is not recomendable since scripts can do important stuff but on this case I knew it wasn't vital [20:50] Lars_G, sounds like ubuntu surgery [20:51] hi... does anyone have ppa for 10.10 for gnome3? [20:51] en0x, just search launchpad for it [20:51] dtcrshr, There is a network manager server running on ubuntu [20:51] dotblank: Unknown host andai-lifesuck [20:51] I think if you disable it you can still use debian networking options [20:52] Stereocaulon: i found for natty [20:52] andai1, oh, my, that hostname sounds so emo... [20:52] andai1, you may want to scan the current netmask [20:52] Stereocaulon: implying not that my life sucks, but that linux is sucking away my time/energy for other things :P [20:52] life = time * energy [20:52] dotblank wat [20:52] Hello folks. I don't think it's the right place to ask, but I'll try anyway, sorry about that. I've been a Ubuntu user (and generally, a Linux user and Free Software fan) for many years, and now I really want to participate. I'm very at ease with computers and have basic notions of programming. I tried triaging Ubuntu bugs for a start but I'm always afraid of doing something wrong. Any suggestions about where to begin ? Thanks a [20:52] lot. [20:53] guntbert, i have auto eth0, and the above lines has the manual ip configs. how do i release the eth? iface eth0 inet static is the line between the ips [20:53] sudo apt-get install netmask [20:53] andai1, um no .. i should ratehr say scan the entire network for all active hosts not filtering icmp requests [20:53] hi, has anyone tried installing gnome3/gnome shell on ubuntu 10.10? [20:53] dtcrshr: please !pastebin your interfaces file [20:54] Narc: This URL here has a lot of information about how to start helping out: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [20:54] Narc, well, you can always ask someone on the testing group to act as your mentor while you are learning the ropes. [20:54] what about a NFS like network boot to install? [20:55] i read somethinjg about installing ubuntu over a server node system [20:55] tprice, try the alternate CD for that [20:55] Pici, Stereocaulon : Thanks :) [20:55] Stereocaulon, how do I do that ? [20:55] I'm getting an error that I have the wrong password when I try to edit my "software sources" [20:55] any ideas? [20:56] Narc, just join the mailing list for testers and ask someone on the staff. They can usually assign you a mentor [20:56] Narc: Or join their IRC channels and ask :) [20:56] Muimi, you'll want to edit the software sources through (gk)sudo === Gitt is now known as CodeZombie [20:57] I only entered two passwords into this system... my sudo password and a password to help me manage updates... [20:57] i know both those passwords and neither one works [20:57] Stereocaulon, Pici : Ok, I'll do that then. Thanks a lot.

Press space bar to select sda (and to deselect sdb) then hit return to continue. [20:58] i just want to click Applications>Ubuntu Software Center>Edit>Software Sources...

[20:59] Stereocaulon: I really want to, and I already tried once or twice, but I feel kinda lost among the gurus. :) [20:59] It says "enter the administrative password".... [21:00] Narc, just remember: Every guru started out as an apprentice first. You might be the next Linus or Stallman ;-) [21:00] cc$ [21:00] I don't want to have password-protected areas that I can't access....

Please use their support channel: #backtrack-linux [21:01] Muimi: stop ranting and listen: you have to type your own password [21:01] Muimi, in that case, why did you choose separate passwords for sudo (basically a root-substitute) and updates? That custom setup is bound to cause problems [21:01] is this the right channel for Ubuntu Studio? [21:01] hi [21:01] Hey, thanks that was really nice of you. My laptop is now operating on ubuntu [21:02] lol whenever I enter "ku" (to open kubuntu.org) chromium crashes without warning and instantly :D [21:02] I didn't choose separate passwords [21:02] can i go on using the gnome2 under ubuntu11.10 [21:02] opticx, not really, but there is a lot of overlap, so just ask away :-) [21:02] I can't believe it's so difficult to install ubuntu on my expensive laptop [21:02] Stereocaulon: Haha, true. Well, who knows. :) I have lots of free time and ideas but I don't know the "ropes" really well as you said. [21:02] Hi, .. I'm running 10.10 x64. I'm having issues getting ub to recognize my network card (mobo nic). Any suggestions? lshal > shows my nic though? [21:02] guntbert, well, iv set the interfaces to the minimum configuration (dhcp as my last line) and rebooted the machine. yet still the network manager dont show on the pannel, only if i /init.d/network-manager restart [21:02] And I didn't do a custom setup.

[21:03] Gnome2 under ubuntu11.10 ? === bobberty is now known as bobbert [21:03] leg3nd : Nope [21:04] i dont like unitz [21:04] unity [21:04] what alternativesy [21:04] !natty | Torbennn [21:04] Torbennn: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. [21:04] Spoog, does anything come up from $ lsmod | grep rtl [21:04] !enter Torbennn [21:04] i dont like unity [21:04] oon 11.10¿¿ :S [21:04] !enter |Torbennn [21:04] Torbennn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:04] Spoog: should work with the r8169 driver do « sudo modprobe r8169 » [21:04] Torbennn : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [21:04] Stereocaulon: Indeed. I like to learn, I guess it's a good point. Any other suggestion before I leave you alone ? :) [21:04] Narc, the expression is derived from the life on ships. The boatswain would teach the shipmates, or sailors how to use the ropes to man and operate the sails and all the pulleys associated with them [21:04] Does anyone here know anything about the audio subsystems in Ubuntu, specifically, how to help me use /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer the way it used to be done? [21:04] can not join there ! [21:05] Can I learn how to be a ubuntu helper > i want to be able to help other users in the future [21:05] Narc, not really, I don't consider myself to be a guru [21:05] Mathuin: You probably need to be a member of the audio group. [21:05] guntbert,well, when i call it from hand this way it shows that i have an eth0, that he cant manage. but when booting it should be avaiable [21:05] Torbennn: Then join #ubuntu-ops to figure out why [21:05] leg3nd : Nope [21:05] ray24: just listen here - you will learn a lot [21:05] Mathuin: OSS emulation is disabled in recent ubuntu reñeases afaik- use padsp with the programs that still need it [21:05] Stereocaulon: I knew the expression but didn't know the story :) [21:05] ray24, just hangout on this channel and monitor different conversations [21:05] erUSUL: I mentioned earlier that padsp wasn't fixing my problem. [21:06] Stereocaulon: Ok, thanks [21:06] Sorry, I'm sitting on a old monitor right now (19in crt) ...this thing is a pain in the apple to read.. lol [21:06] Spoog, can you pastebin the output of your lshw -C network? [21:06] dtcrshr: please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [21:06] wxtoimg needs access to /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer and when I use padsp I get /dev/dsp but not /dev/mixer and when I don't I get /dev/mixer but not /dev/dsp [21:06] Narc, np, good luck on your trip. At least you won't get scurvy when you join the Ubuntu fleet ;-) [21:06] i dont like unity. can i go using gnome2 === Pug is now known as Guest84703 [21:07] Torbennn: yes, the login screen's options menu lets you pick [21:07] ok [21:07] GNome3 ! ! ! [21:07] Hi, I'm having a problem with flash, flash files/movies don't load correctly in firefox, but they do in Chrome, any idea how I can get them working as flash? [21:07] typing to anything in google search bar shows the letter faint and ugly why it is happening? [21:07] leg3nd : is there something specific in that command output your looking for?.. It's on another box i'm sitting next too. [21:08] anodesni, please refrain from publicity stunts on this channel. Thank you ;-) [21:08] ray24: you can't learn it you just learn how to overcome many ubuntu related problems and then if someone asks for a solution of a problem you've already taken care of then you share your solution on how to do it it's that simple [21:08] @Lcawte try using GNASH [21:08] Spoog, the driver for the NIC [21:08] any help [21:08] Spoog, something like driver=BLAH [21:09] leeland: feel free to add a little more detail on that? [21:09] Mathuin: well then you can either build your own kernel with OSS emultion ( or OSS patched in ) or convince the wxtoimg to port the program to alsa [21:09] i cant update using apt-get or package manager due to having some sort of conflict of libraries... is there any easy way of fixing this? [21:09] leg3nd : it just gives the output being > description of the nic (realtek ..bus info.. size, ..serial.. clock speed) ..It doesn't actually mention anything about a driver [21:09] google sudo apt-cache search are very useful [21:09] ray24, just be open to everyone and learn from your mistakes. That's the only way to become a good supporter [21:10] So the distribution that prides itself on being helpful to users is now making me compile my own kernel, or tell a developer that they can no longer use a mature toolset but to change to something else. Wow! [21:10] That is the best advice that I can also apply in other areas of my life. Thanks [21:10] leeland: I have it installed, I want to know how to set it to work in browser. Movies won't work, but not so strangely, advertisements do [21:10] Spoog, try $ sudo rmmod r8187 && sudo modprobe r8168 [21:11] They should have left well enough alone. Bah. Bah. === lol is now known as derp [21:11] Spoog, then see if its listed under iwconfig [21:11] join #bash [21:11] Mathuin, if you want to have a standard solution to everything linux, you'll want to make sure that all of your projected hardware supports the linux version you want to run, *before* installing it. [21:11] join /#bash [21:11] leg3nd : should I be including the "$" infront of my command? [21:11] mozilla-plugin-gnash [21:11] Spoog, no [21:11] also needed [21:11] Stereocaulon: this is a software issue not a hardware issue. [21:11] leg3nd : ok 1 second === richard is now known as Guest21771 [21:12] h# [21:12] Greets to everyone! [21:12] Mathuin, well, the sound architecture in Linux is a mess. I concur on that, yet the compatibility with different hardware does vary. [21:12] In this case, there's /dev/dsp which has worked fine for a long time and is now gone for no obvious technical reason and with no support for connecting the "old" interface to whatever the new hotness is. [21:13] hello to all [21:13] Stereocaulon: It's *not* *hardware*. I have used this *same* *exact* *hardware* with previous versions of the software and it *worked* *fine*. [21:13] how can I switch the rendering Backend of QT/KDE? I used this kde-config-qt-graphicssystem to switch to Raster which is very quick. I wanted to test what this OpenGL experimental option is but now all I get are the titlebars but no window content. is there a console/config file to change this option? [21:13] leg3nd : The following error occured >>> Module r8187 does not exist in /proc/modules [21:13] But installing a new version of Ubuntu made the software stop working, because Ubuntu chose to no longer support OSS. [21:13] Mathuin, OK, you've made your point. [21:14] leg3nd : I'm assuming this means the driver isn't installed on the system.. However, I was working fine on this machine connected to the internet for the past 3 weeks.. today this problem just came up [21:14] Spoog, Did you upgrade or change anything? [21:14] ok got it, systemsettings --graphicssystem raster and now I can change that option :) [21:15] I am having major startup problems. sshd fails to load. How can I reboot it and ensure that ssh loads? I cannot get into the remote server with ssh. [21:15] Mathuin, in that case you should use another distro, though there are a lot of eggeheads outside the Ubuntu community that support taking OSS out of the system. [21:15] leg3nd : Onlything I updated was the security package from the updater this morning. ..But it WAS working just fine after that.. \ [21:15] Stereocaulon: having to change my *entire* *distribution* is freaking overkill. [21:15] What's wrong with keeping OSS as the kind of option I can switch with packages? [21:16] Mathuin, I agree on that, I also noticed that several of my games did not run anymore after the switch. For that reason I have rued my upgrade. After a while I weighed the pros against the contras so I stuck with the present setup. [21:16] Mathuin: ranting here will not help in any way - feel free to file a bug [21:16] hey guys last night i installed ubuntu 10.10, I also did the partitioning manually, I put 8 gb's for my / and i look and saw today that 4gb's has been used already, what i'll like to find out what the least I can use as an / ? [21:16] guntbert: all bugs on this topic will be ignored as per the documentation. [21:17] guntberg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [21:17] 32- bit vs. 64- bit, pros and cons? [21:17] hello team ubuntu [21:17] This is like moving the stupid clicky things -- arbitrary, capricious, irreversible, and annoying. Bah. [21:17] Mathuin: and you will not find any developers here - so please drop those rants [21:17] Spoog, are you dual booting? [21:17] abiss27: 8gb should be fine [21:18] leg3nd : Nope [21:18] thanks [21:18] guntbert, I have the impression that Mathuin feels powerless about this issue because the ones calling the shots are not listening to users as they should do. I agree with Mathuin on that. It caused me to contemplate a switch to Debian proper. === vhd_afk is now known as vhd [21:18] hello team ubuntu [21:18] hello [21:18] Stereocaulon: that may be, but *this channel* is not the place for such discussions [21:19] kingkea: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:19] guntbert, right. So Mathuin, care to join me on #ubuntu-offtopic? [21:19] when the new ubuntu comes out, should i put 64 bit on, or just stick with 32? [21:19] bobbert: stick with what's working [21:19] ^^ good advice there [21:19] Stereocaulon: Sure. [21:20] bobbert, If you have more than 3GB of RAM you might benefit from the switch, but there are lots of closed packages that only work on 32 bits [21:20] bobbert, you could also ask in #ubuntu+1 [21:20] allright then, i just get annoyed with a whole gig and a half of RAm sitting there doing mothing [21:20] Sshd fails to load at startup of remote server. How can I resolve this? [21:21] when I add my domain in virtual hosts on apache it messes up everything, does anyone have a tutorial for setting up virtual hosts on ubuntu server [21:21] suppose it's only some RAM though, my machine's fast enough as it is. [21:22] grimlyhefty: did it ever start? If so, what has changed? Can you start it manually? If not, what happens? [21:22] jsebean: #httpd [21:22] haha i tried that channel it wont work for me [21:22] jsebean: "won't work for me"? [21:22] jrib: A user did sudo reboot and now it doesnt load sshd on start. So no remote contact. Had full ssh entry for a month before this. [21:22] http://likesalmon.net/how-to-configure-apache-virtual-hosting-in-ubuntu-karmic-9-10/ [21:23] it says cannot send message [21:23] jrib, manual reboot doesnt resolve it [21:23] too many people?

[21:25] jrib: so it's in synaptic i take it then? [21:25] makaveli0129: sure [21:25] I personally like atop better [21:25] jrib, access the startup logs to see what loads and doesnt, and change settings to the config. === maelstrom is now known as Guest7618 [21:25] jrib, but that is a little beyond me. === IPNixon__ is now known as IPNixon [21:25] jrib: ok thank you i will try to see what i come up with and thanks spoog i'll try that one too [21:25] grimlyhefty: hmm, have to go now and this seems like it would take a while to troubleshoot. Sorry. Repeat your question to the channel [21:26] jrib, thank you :) [21:26] hello.... how can see the process where have me as owner but when run having root permissions?????? [21:26] guys, what virtualisation solution would you remommend to run an ubuntu virtual machine inside win 7 on a quad-core pc. I got virtualbox now but it's running soo slow [21:27] so.... [21:27] Ubuntu comes, out-of-the-box, with a secret password that it doesn't tell you about? [21:27] Muimi: with an invalid root-password [21:28] Is there possable,and is there an big operation to run IPfire with virtual box, controlling the network cards? My goal will be the box to act as an high performance WAN/LAN router [21:28] hi guys, i'm trying to use the mp3blaster application but i guess i need to configure some audio stuff before it will work. i'm getting a bit confused about this. can anyone tell me what i need to do? [21:28] @metallico have you installed the Vbox drivers for ubuntu? I [21:29] okay [21:29] how do i change the invalid root password to a valid root password? [21:29] I tried 'sudo passwd root {pass}'... [21:29] it just printed options [21:29] did I do something wrong? === lkd is now known as emrebey [21:30] Muimi [21:30] muimi [21:30] So I've lost my audio indicator in unity.

My goal will be the box to act as an high performance WAN/LAN router [21:32] metallico: are you using the VBox plugins on your ubuntu guest? [21:32] jdonnaruma: Is this Ubuntu-related or PHP-related? If PHP, try #php [21:32] dont confused your self why typing "sudo passwd root???" the simply command is passwd! Dont forget it [21:32] no [21:32] sorry, i got disconnected [21:32] Starminn: Thats what I'm trying to narrow down, I'll see if anyone has any idea there, thanks! [21:32] its pure installation, i've only installed the virtualbox addons [21:32] Star_Light: "sudo passwd root" -- As in -- "sudo passwd $(WHICH_USER)" [21:33] Star_Light: "sudo passwd chris" would change the passwd for that user, chris. [21:33] red2kic i dont have any users in my machine ;p [21:33] i see [21:33] okeik [21:33] Star_Light: So you're running in a root? :\ [21:33] metallico: That probably the problem with out them your running ubuntu on very generic drivers which are quite slow [21:33] no [21:33] root and i : p [21:33] only one user [21:33] There you go. :) One user. [21:33] but they have the same pass i think [21:34] Star_Light, root does not have a password, nor is it supported to set one [21:34] the root hasnt pass === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [21:34] the debian politics? [21:34] fonzie2k : why dont you just use openwrt on an old 54g router. Being "High end" wouldn't matter , as a bottleneck would be created by the amount the nic can handle. the speed of the box doesn't always come into play unless your using it as a firewall inshich case it would cache the dns ..ect [21:34] Aimle__, sorry i got your question wrong the first time. the answer is yes, i did install the virtualmachine addons [21:35] got to go [21:36] s3r3n1t7 ok [21:36] Every other time I boot up my laptop, X (and by extension my `slim` manager) fail to start up. what are some resources I can look up for you guys to determine why it's *every* *other* boot?

[21:42] andai1: and no one has gotten to it yet =s if you think 5 minutes is too short an interval fair enough. [21:42] Spoog: yes, i have used it before, i use it at school to connect to our ubuntu lab from my computer in my room [21:43] Spoog: i can also use the labs internet which is is a lot less conjested then the server for our dorm [21:43] joshmc: it's often helpful to reword your question if you don't get a response the first time. It could be that there's not enough information, or that the question is not easy to answer as presented. [21:44] searayman : what brower are we talking about? [21:44] red2kic: I'm not too sure where to find the err. message, in this case. I still have an Xorg zombie around for a few seconds after trying.

[21:45] joshmc: okay. I had a similar problem ever since 10.10, but it's probably not related. [21:45] ok so i figured out that my zoneminder is what is eating up my processor is there a way to limit what a program can use?

[21:56] searayman : anywhere you have an active internet connection should work. [21:56] searayman : If your on windows you would do it in the cmd box. IF your on a nix system you would use terminal. just nslookup http://www.wtfisthissite.com [21:57] Spoog: i m a bit confused [21:58] searayman : since your on a campus connection it should give you a read out. [21:58] Spoog: I was hoping that was an actual site. :D [21:58] Spoog: it did [21:58] hello ... how can i install nvidia-driver on ubuntu ?

Where is the correct place to file a proper bug report? [22:07] anyone here find truecrypt hangs in ubuntu [22:09] ayecee, red2kic: just a follow up on my X issues: it's apparently an issue between more `unique' display managers and X (or perhaps X and intel...). The workaround for me was start up GDM, which initializes X right, close it, and refire `slim`. Stupid but it works. [22:09] hi there [22:10] ayecee, red2kic: thanks for the help! [22:10] joshmc: Use GDM? Or you're going for minimalism approach? [22:10] has anybody any experience with Simple Backup? [22:10] hi what user is apache2 from repos uses? [22:11] am i the only one who thinks that pidgin should be used as primary chat/social program? [22:11] or rather runs under so i can add myself to that group too so that i can edit its files [22:11] red2kic: just turn it on for a quick second; I use SLiM for my manager. It lives up to its name; I like it most because I think it's very simple and good looking. [22:11] Nick_Meister: www-data [22:11] joshmc: I have GDM (but autologin) so I never see it. [22:11] lolmatic: i like pidgin better too, less memory requirements [22:11] red2kic: but I keep around some software, like GDM, just in case ;) . [22:11] Nick_Meister: Yeah. The Group is www-data [22:11] przemoReX, thats what i thougth so i added myself to it but then i look in grops and im the only one in it [22:12] <[criipt]> Hi ! There is something using my net. how do I find out what? [22:12] <[criipt]> something = process [22:13] netstat [22:13] netstat -a [22:13] [criipt]: "sudo netstat -pant" [22:14] Nick_Meister: I've looked at passwd and there is www-data user [22:14] przemoReX, so to create files that www-data can read AND edit i need to set that as my main group? [22:15] btw: why are there pidgin as well as the old gaim both in the repo? i thought they would replace each other? [22:15] <[criipt]> Shows just one process running that is on ESTABLISHED, which is xchat and a LISTEN on cupsd [22:15] <[criipt]> red2kic, ^ [22:15] 0 [22:15] . [22:15] [criipt]: You're on xchat, cupsd is for printing (daemon). [22:15] Nick_Meister: yeap [22:15] hello team [22:15] przemoReX can i pm you? [22:16] <[criipt]> Even with xchat off, i see the gkrellm showing a transfer of 5kb / s [22:16] lolmatic: I'd guess gaim is a dummy package but maybe some people like the old gaim? :o idk [22:16] przemoReX can i pm ou? [22:16] <[criipt]> red2kic, Yeah, so what could it be. [22:16] przemoReX, isnt that a security issue tho, if i create files that apache can just wonder off to [22:16] Nick_Meister: and watch for group premisions [22:16] lolmatic: Ubuntu have lot of packages -- Some of them is even unmaintained. :) [22:16] kingkea: ok [22:17] przemoReX, how do i set my main group then? [22:17] [criipt]: If you think your computer is slow, use htop. If you think your network is slow, check "sudo netstat -pant" -- Even your ISP could be doing things or your router is choking up. Things happen. [22:17] Nick_Meister: you can create a new user just to work with web files [22:18] (Could be DNS issues) [22:18] YankDownUnder: +1 [22:18] przemoReX, but how do i set my main group tho :( [22:18] Nick_Meister: google - ubuntu help [22:19] <[criipt]> red2kic, oh. alright =) Thanks.. [22:19] For nearly every linux installation, I install dnscache-run => always brings up the performance of a network connection.... [22:19] I always want to have a linux router one day.

[22:21] nice trick : press the windows button en use scroll of mouse :p [22:22] hi there. [22:22] red2kic: I cant recover my backup, the app cant pull files from the copy [22:22] something news of gnome3? [22:23] hiii [22:23] anyone have any experience with dan's guardian or squid guard? [22:23] EGCdigital, [22:24] hi, i have a issue about tty, they dont work [22:24] przemoReX: I see. I like dejadup for that. It does not see the backup? Try opening the file manually (or uncompress even) and look inside. [22:24] kzman: they don't? [22:24] kzman: In what manner do they not work? [22:24] !doesn't work | kzman [22:24] kzman: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:25] Logan_: That is a nice trigger. Never saw that one before. :) [22:25] BlueEagle: haha, I know :P [22:25] red2kic: I've done the recovery manuly, but I'm pissed couse it took me two ours. [22:26] red2kic: can deja do backups on hour base? [22:26] Is there a auto hide function to this Launcher in Unity? Running 10.10 [22:26] i mean, when I press the combo ctrl+alt-F#(number), nothing is shown but a strange coloured lines [22:26] hi all [22:26] przemoReX: Yes. https://launchpad.net/deja-dup [22:27] przemoReX: Just make sure to point what you want to backup. There are some people that just assume that dejadup knew people wanted to backup home directories when it's just pointing at nothing. :) [22:27] i have a question re using 3g modem on thinkpad x201 i3 in ubuntu [22:27] can someone help me? [22:27] ive been having problems with my package managers... they are being haulted because i have some pending configuration... libimobiledevice-dbg [22:27] i try apt-get -f install libimobiledevice* [22:27] ot, only if you ask the question [22:27] kzman: Then the issue is more likely with your graphics drivers and not the TTYs. [22:28] ok :) [22:28] doesnt work.... tried removing it doesnt work [22:28] im kinda lost here [22:28] how do I get 3g/umts working on my thinkpad x201 in ubuntu [22:28] it doesn't appear to be recognized [22:28] BlueEagle, but i cant enter in a console tty, i use a unicrome pro integrated gpu, with openchrome driver [22:29] also says i have installed a package with unmet dependancies [22:29] red2kic: since SBackup faild me miserably I'll give a try with deja [22:29] anyone have a clue of how to fix this? [22:29] gnome 64! oh mah gaaawd [22:29] i'm sorry, it won't happen again [22:29] kzman: You could try disabling the splash screens and see if that helps. It has helped me on several occations. [22:30] przemoReX: Very straightforward app. Good luck. :) [22:30] red2kic: I need siple backup solution for desktop [22:30] hmmm maybe too busy here... [22:30] kzman: I know that this is a useless suggestion, but wouldn't an X-based terminal emulator combined with a screen make just as good a solution? [22:30] przemoReX: Yeah. I know. Give it a try. Can't be any simpler IMO. [22:31] why doesnt the vpn client in ubuntu 10.04 make it default to route my traffic so that I can actually access the remote network ip addresses? [22:33] does anyone here know how how i can access my internet network resources thru the ubuntu vpn client connection? [22:33] BlueEagle, yes you'r right, byt i think that doen't have to fails, i also think your slution is correct, because the screen splash has the same problem [22:33] ubuntu 10.04 (client) to windows 7 vpn (host) [22:33] hehe [22:33] itilious: it will only do that if the vpn server says to do that. [22:33] by default, at least. [22:33] it does [22:33] it works in xp just fine [22:33] Why is there still no brightness adjustment support for my Samsung netbook in Ubuntu 10.10? I made a way around the problem, but it requires root access to run the setpci command. [22:33] hello, i have a problem with my 3g modem zte mf100, in windows it comes with software which allows me to manually choose between gprs and umts modes and automatically do the right thing to do, the problem is that in ubuntu it chooses gprs intead of umts, maybe the strength of signal has something to do with that. please help me to manually choose umts. [22:34] but ubuntu connected to vpn doesnt access any of the resources [22:34] itilious: have you set this up in networkmanager, or another way? [22:34] network manager === Mage is now known as magevideo [22:34] itilious: in the ipv4 settings, what do you have the method set to? [22:35] at first i tried "use this only for its resources" that didnt work [22:35] Here's another question, itilious: why do people post "code tutorials" in websites rather than just throwing up bash files? [22:35] X// [22:35] itilious: no, what do you have the "method" set to? [22:35] please help me out, [22:35] hi guys. i have a mobo that has an AGP graphics adapter slot and i'm looking for a graphics adapter whitch which i can play urbanterror under ubuntu 10.04.. can you advise sth? sorry for the noob question but i have no idea about those old AGP graphics adapters :) [22:35] is this the channel to ask for help with the ubuntu beta?

[22:36] red2kic: can deja do backup every hour? I cant find that option [22:36] hello, i have a problem with my 3g modem zte mf100, in windows it comes with software which allows me to manually choose between gprs and umts modes and automatically do the right thing to do, the problem is that in ubuntu it chooses gprs intead of umts, maybe the strength of signal has something to do with that. please help me to manually choose umts. [22:36] YankDownUnder, yes i thought so, but can you advise a specific one? i'm not sure which one to buy as i'm not sure on which one the drivers will be depricated and not anymore supported by ubuntu [22:36] przemoReX, Have you tried looking at the programs home page and documents? [22:37] khaled, check out you network manager, right click on it and choose 'prefer umts' [22:37] bluenemo_, I can't get any more specific than that, mate. [22:37] khaled, you got to search a little to the manuals [22:37] mrapple: there's probably a lib/ext directory under your jre directory if you have one installed. try "locate lib/ext" [22:37] YankDownUnder, ok thx man [22:37] okaaaaaaaaaaaaay [22:37] przemoReX: It said so in the feature list. You may be using outdated version. [22:37] :) [22:37] new to ubuntu, but i love it!! [22:37] przemoReX: "Schedules regular backups" [22:37] Is there any better way than using SetPCI to change display brightness on a netbook? The default brightness control doesn't work on Intel mobile graphics chips. [22:38] IDWMaster: submit a patch for the default brightness controls :) other than that, yeah, setpci is probably as good as it gets until it's updated. [22:39] I've had a bug report out for a while, and it sounds like there's no patch coming until new Intel drivers are released [22:39] IDWMaster: well there we go :( [22:39] red2kic: I'll go to dig the docs then. thanks and take care [22:39] very strange problem here, i can play videos on any other website other than you tube, also, whenever i try opening a document for my essay due in tommorrow, it just brings up a string of words in one line at the top of the document and nothing else. do i have a virus? [22:39] magpiie: probably not. [22:40] przemoReX: deja-dup is at 18.0-1 -- Okay. Tkc. :) [22:40] Doesn't sound like a virus [22:40] Sounds more like a corrupt document. Have you tried opening any other documents? [22:42] ayecee, its set to automaticVPN [22:42] should it be set to addresses only? [22:42] yeah. other documents open fine, i have re downloaded the original document numerous times and still nothing, its bizarre because everything was working fine an hour ago [22:44] itilious: no, that one is correct.

[22:45] help over hier guys [22:45] hello ! [22:45] i wish it was more linux n00b friendly to simply access my smb shares remotely :/ [22:46] anyone with experience with acer one netbooks could help me get my internet to work?

I remember running into problems with that kind of setup years and years ago, it required the gateway to also be a samba master or something like that. [22:49] itilious: can you at least ping the computers on the lan when connected to the vpn? [22:49] nope [22:49] itilious: okay, looks like you'll have to add a route to the lan network in your vpn settings then. === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [22:50] i have been using linux for 6 years no i have the last year those archives installed no issues ok but now ubuntu is easy using and usefull but in unpacking archives i founde issues so no 1 have any ideas give the link how i should type it in my terminal to install virtuel box and play on it my backtrack [22:50] thats what everone says but i can't ever find anything on the net pertaining to my situation on how to do this,,, do i simply need to understand how to add routes in linux to accomplish this?

[23:11] Spoog, Check to see if the card is blacklisted => as well, try running "sudo jockey-gtk" and see if a driver is available. [23:11] pooltable: Yes, I've had it installed for God knows how long. [23:11] \ [23:11] also what version of ubuntu are you using [23:11] dotblank : and it's still a very much active and updated thread.

[23:12] starminn the session manager one ? [23:12] brightspark: thanks it worked .. what if i want to delete it .. do i delete the os and update ? [23:12] flx__, Just remove the stick, wait a few seconds, re-insert the stick. [23:13] pooltable: The full DE, yes. [23:13] flx__, yea you can add your custom wakeup script [23:13] ok know i understand, sorry for botter [23:13] pooltable: Log out, choose the DE, log in. [23:13] joeb_: yes, that works. I think you can also hide the menu entry, but I don't know how to do that.

I'm here for help, but if I need to help you first to get it then so be it. What's your question? [23:14] Spoog is the link actually down.. Did you check the physical layer or try a new cable [23:14] ubuntu default download is 32bit + PAE right? [23:14] ok starminn log out then in then update ? [23:15] dotblank, what is the command to change the file? sry, i'm new to linux [23:15] andai: no, only 32bit, only the server has 32bit with pae as default [23:15] !details | pooltable [23:15] pooltable: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:15] andai, I know its 32 bit don't know about pae [23:15] for some reason, everytime i try play a you tube video, i keep getting the "sorry, and error occured" message, yet videos play fine on any other website. i have updated the flash player, is there anything else i should try? [23:15] andai: you wilčl have to install pae [23:15] *will [23:15] starminn likr to try gnome 3 but not sure what to do [23:15] dotblank : the link isn't down though .. I plug the cat5 into it and it searches for an address, but then it doesn't get one. [23:15] flx__, I don't know it right now [23:15] pooltable: So you want to isntall GNOME3, that is correct? [23:16] how do i update to gnome 3? [23:16] starminn: yes [23:16] Spoog, so it gets a media state connected then? [23:16] Spoog, it should only search for an address if the link is up [23:16] andai: use amd64 instead of i386 with pae [23:16] you don't have to use amd64 as there are still issues with it [23:16] andai: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117 [23:17] or rather issues with third parties not being nice with 64bit [23:17] dotblank : well it doesn't say anywhere that is disconnected or unreachable [23:17] pooltable: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/ [23:17] iceroot: is x64 better? I just replaced my x64 with x32 :P [23:17] 32bit seems a lot smoother on my machine than 64bit ubuntu. [23:17] Now then, can anybody tell me where the Ubuntu Software Center is in GNOME3? [23:17] andai: depending on your ramsize [23:17] Spoog, have you tried configuring your network manually? [23:17] andai: but pae is the most worst solution [23:17] Starminn, Um...you're joking, right? [23:18] but there is a second problem i uninstalled opera but i still see some mistakes with this browser when i make updates [23:18] does anybody know the command how to change an entry in the file /etc/default/acpi-support vir the terminal? [23:18] andai: If you have more than 4 gigs of ram, you can benefit from the 64-bit version, otherwise not so much. [23:18] like no pubkey etc [23:18] *via [23:18] does anyone know how to lock out an ip that fails to connect to ssh 5 times in a minute for 10 minutes? [23:18] Starminn, I belive the ubuntu software center is not part of gnome3 its just an application [23:18] dotblank : I don't know how through the command line . I have gone into eth0 manually through the GUI. HOwever i'm just connected directly to the modem at this time. [23:18] it was suggested i should use iptables [23:18] YankDownUnder: I assume they don't want it in there? I only see Synaptic, so I'm assuming that the Software Center is a Canonical add-on. [23:18] dotblank: I understand that. But I can't find the app. [23:18] dotblank : this was working fine for the past 3 weeks. then today it crapped out.. [23:18] any one has any idea if i can update to gnome 3 on my ubuntu 10.10? [23:19] Spoog, well you should also be able to confure the network manually using the networkmanager [23:19] I'm asking cause i get different responses everywhere... #debian seems to agree that i should go for x64, #ubuntu says i should do x32 unless i have too much ram :P [23:19] but the only way i can think of is to have a script parsing the ssh log files looking for failed attempts and modifying iptables [23:19] Starminn, Mate, it's not all mainstream yet...ya might want to, um, lessee, possibly check the Ubuntu site for documentation on it? [23:19] starminn how do i copy and show you what happen ? [23:19] andai: the only reason to use amd64 is if you have 4gb ram (including ram from your vga + other adressbusses) [23:19] andai: 64-bit for greater than about 3GB of RAM-ish. [23:19] Starminn, I actually have no idea how the software center is implemented I would imagine a package would be installed that would have it [23:20] andai: if your cpu supports amd64, use amd64 [23:20] it does :P [23:20] Starminn: can you run it from command-line? (/usr/bin/software-center) [23:20] and i have 4x1GB ram sticks, but one is dead [23:20] XD [23:20] ivanberia: that's usually how it's done: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban [23:20] andai, it depends on your typical PC usage.. if you like doing lots of things with flash and some other niche applications you may have trouble with 64bit [23:20] I use 64bit ubuntu and its fine for me [23:20] nina : hopw can you have problems with uninstalled browser [23:20] *how [23:21] To run the Package Manager: sudo synaptic [23:21] also compiling emulators is kinda difficult [23:21] dotblank: there is also an amd64 build for flash out there, so there is no problem anymore [23:21] dotblank: Typical PC usage != Youtube? :P [23:21] loshki: ty [23:21] you would have to sue a 32 bit chroot or use a cross compilier [23:21] dotblank : network manager has the state as "active" [23:21] What is the simplest way to reimage my entire ubuntu system and then get it back? say i have 2 drives at my disposal.. [23:21] iceroot, its still buggy [23:21] andai: If you plan on replacing that dead one, go for it. otherwise you are more likely to see problems than benefits [23:21] exactly? [23:21] brightspark: Yes. It's on my computer, I know that, haha. Just curious how to get it through GUI. [23:21] dotblank: whole flash is buggy, that is not a problem of the amd64 build [23:21] #debian just informed me that VM's run "about half as fast, actually" on 32bit [23:21] I do not know of such command, please tell me moar [23:21] Spoog, if you add a network connection you can specify ip address manually [23:21] it looks like not all program removed [23:21] iceroot, its more so with 64bit [23:22] dotblank : I can't specify an IP address when I'm on a dynamic connection (I'm plugged directly into the modem) [23:22] andai: then why asking #ubuntu if you get support in #debian? [23:22] andai: we dont like crosspostiings [23:22] nina : did you uninstall it from synaptic [23:22] Spoog, you should be able to create a new wired connection profile at any time [23:23] dotblank : yes I've done that. [23:23] " then you have to tell iptable's connectiontracker to track ftp port 1233" ---- how do I do this? [23:23] u mean center of ubuntu program,? [23:23] Spoog, I guess if nothing else works then you may have to sue a different nic [23:23] nina: try sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq opera [23:23] use* [23:23] dotblank : inside network tools it has the eth0, inside network connections it has the test connection I created. [23:23] Hello everyone [23:24] nina: no,under system>administration>synaptic [23:24] dotblank : I don't think it has to be that way.. as this is the first time in 3 weeks I've had any type of issue with this connection/nic... Nothing has changed [23:24] iceroot: We don't like people who refer to themselves in the plural :D [23:24] starmin installed right now sudo apt-get install gnome3-session [23:24] Spoog, you arn't using 802.1x are you?

[23:25] pooltable: Go to Ubuntu Software Center, search GNOME3, make sure that one's installed. [23:25] dotblank : I'm not sure I know how to answer that. [23:25] brb a few [23:26] Spoog, if you don't know what it is then its probably not an issue [23:26] iceroot: I use ubuntu, never used debian, thinking about switching to debian... worried about PAE... hence crossposting [23:26] pooltable: Then just Log Out, choose your Environment, and Log In === root is now known as Guest62737 [23:27] and now i done it correct :-) [23:27] zvacet : thx [23:27] nina: yw 8-) [23:28] Spikehead777 : I don't know much about configuring dual monitors and resolution. However, I was hooking up my 32in lcd and came across a post on some forums (google : linux dual monitorr).. also If I'm not mistaken the nvidia software should handle that type of setup [23:28] Is there a way to connect Evolution to Exchange 5.5? [23:28] starminn: ok brb thanks i c if i like it [23:28] quit [23:29] Spoog, yes, it should, but for some reason, when I tell the setup software my monitor is 1360x768, it still outputs a 1280x768 to my monitor. === hachre_ is now known as hachre [23:29] " then you have to tell iptable's connectiontracker to track ftp port 1233" ---- how do I do this?

[23:48] rubiks_cube_man: generally yes [23:48] Jordan_U: I know, but it's actually a general question, not only for natty, how to boot from flash drive? [23:48] is Mageia Linux using GNome or KDE? [23:49] nerdshell: best method is to watch the BIOS screen for a "boot menu" prompt. Hit reset, and mash that key. [23:49] nerdshell: usually F10 or F12 [23:49] Hi, I want to set up an automount for my two ntfs software raid arrays. Do I need to install and use mdadm?

[23:50] roothorick: okay, thanks a lot. ;) [23:50] capleton: use ntfs-3g in fstab [23:50] nerdshell: reason being, there are mobos and laptops out there that will not boot from USB unless you explicitly select it in the boot menu [23:50] nerdshell: and it cuts changing BIOS settings out of the picture. Just boot menu, pick USB, and go. [23:51] I'll be right back, I'm going to try something.

I'm pretty sure I do but anyway I read up on it and it says I you need version 1.5 or later of java installed, how do I find out what java I'm using? [23:54] ssfdre38 : df -h [23:54] Jordan_U: sorry, just had a problem [23:54] nerdshell: there's the pendrive linux stuff recommended on the Ubuntu website itself. I've used it to make a bootable version of Ultimate Boot CD and I'm quite happy with the result [23:55] roothorick: so i just have to find pendrive in the software center? [23:56] software.... center? [23:56] roothorick: yeah, ubuntu software center [23:56] nerdshell: wait, what are you doing? [23:56] nerdshell: I thought you were using a windows machine to prep a USB drive for installing, hah [23:56] is it possible to write a ubuntu live-cd directly to a hard drive (e.g., using dd)? [23:57] roothorick: no I'm on Maverik Merkaat, and want to test the first beta of natty [23:57] hello! [23:58] there is no RC for natty ? [23:58] olive: not yet afaik [23:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [23:58] joepa, it is possible (though I've never personally tried) to configure Grub to boot a LiveCD iso from your HD. What are you trying to actually do? Perhaps stating that to the channel would be more helpful. [23:58] How do I know if I have java enabled? [23:58] seems to bypass RC, between Beta 2 and Release [23:59] lolmatic: don't know if you're still here or not, but I'm having a problem where the raid arrays are mirrored, and so they both appear under /dev, but drive of the array has its own letter [23:59] I have a machine with an empty partition, no cd drive, and no usb stick on me, and I need to try to recover some files from a second disk [23:59] olive : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [23:59] ie array one is sda and sdb [23:59] DMdean, browse to http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp (if you're talking about a web plugin) [23:59] which is why I'd like to boot the livecd from a partition on the (good) hard drive [23:59] Hey i was wondering if there was any way to have master mixer unmuted upon ever logon
