[00:00] how to add repository backtrack to ubuntu? [00:00] nice [00:00] student_421: ask #backtrack-linux [00:00] Anyone? [00:00] student_421: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [00:00] mmmmm bt4 [00:01] jevury:thak you.. [00:01] ActionParsnip, I did what you said about installing ubuntu with windows 7 but now I cannot boot up windows 7. It won't show the OS in the grub menu but it shows windows and it would go into recovery mode. [00:02] qikky: You need to fix your master grub boot loader [00:02] Could you please tell me how to do so? [00:02] qikky: I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , but it seems your problem is the other way around? [00:03] ggg3: I use sshfs [00:03] * hylian is having fun with sugar (sucrose) [00:03] thanks swart will check that out [00:03] i have two network cards. do i need to separate them somehow in the interfaces file? [00:04] jstoone: sleuthkit/autopsy might be able to help, but if the file system was ext3/4, you are probably SOL. Formost on the entire drive might work, PITA though. [00:04] that article only shows how to do one [00:04] qikky: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/fix-restore-grub-boot-loader.html That seems easier, though. [00:04] Anyone thinks they can help me with my problem? [00:05] swart, thanks but I need to mount the physical hard drive. There is no running machine for me to do that with. That leads to my only option now: build a FreeBSD box to read the disks. [00:05] ah sorry I misunderstood [00:05] :( ok, I'll try later. [00:05] ok, restarting networking now.. lets hope i will come back online :) [00:06] hello, any idea of how I can add the repository of this package (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/218653) so that I could install it? [00:06] how do you unmount cds? [00:06] swart: I know there's a package of tools for diddling for such partitions w/ Ubuntu, but they don't let you actually access the files. [00:07] Hi guys, I've never been that good at compileing I checked and gcc and the two lib's are installed but when i ./configure it says my c++ compiler cannot create executeables [00:07] when i restarted networking i got a SIOCDELRT: No such process [00:07] I didn't specify: the "ufs" type filesystem [00:07] Camer0n ;just right click and eject [00:07] no, ubuntu server [00:07] PetePorty, thanks [00:07] terminal [00:08] unmount sr0 :? [00:08] command unmount not found [00:08] someone help. plzzzz :) [00:08] umount not unmount [00:09] oh okay, I've rebooted now anyway :/ [00:09] hehe ya I should have been clear, but I was just thinking. [00:10] ok, changed the file and still have internet.. rebooting now [00:10] don't make me beg :-( [00:10] jessicaBR, did you ask a question [00:11] jessicaBR: just tell us your problem as complete as you can in one line. [00:11] Can someone help me recover my NTFS partition please? I can't remember what I did but my data is intact, I don't need to do a sector by sector recovery, I just need to undelete a partition. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu as a desktop, can someone point me in the right direction please? [00:12] Superstar to recover ntfs you should be using data recovery tools, try ##windows === peregrinator_six is now known as synaptic_six [00:13] silvertop, Jeruvy, er..., I'm interested in installing glade-3 package on my ubuntu, but that package does not exists in my synaptic... So I thought I could add a repository (PPA). I found this (http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/218653) but I have no idea where to get the repository... [00:13] So anyone here have experience with KVM? I'd really like to be able to install guests directly to LVM volumes, and not have to convert from qcow2. Any ideas ? [00:13] jessicaBR: Easiest way to find it is to go to launchpad.net and search there. [00:13] jessicaBR: "Repository: main" is a default (not sure you could live without it [00:13] jessicaBR https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [00:14] do you guys [00:14] use the gnome ubtuntu dekstop [00:14] I want to see what loading when I boot up my system, how can i get the old text version back [00:14] !enter | codex84 [00:14] or kde [00:14] codex84: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:14] ? [00:14] Jeruvy Do you know of any applications for Ubuntu? Other data recovery tools in windows get the MBR, BootSector and MFT but will only display the files and only allows you to create an image of it. I have Hirens Boot CD but it crashes upon startup because the drive is missing its bootsector [00:15] Camer0n: unmount isn't a command, umount is probably what you want [00:15] thanks guys [00:15] Superstar: seriously I wouldn't consider doing recovery in Ubuntu. [00:15] Jeruvy why not? there's no chance of data loss [00:16] Superstar: apt-get install testdisk; man testdisk [00:16] CarlFK thanks I just finished installing it as well [00:16] Superstar: sleuthkit/autopsy can do some file recovery, there has been some work parsing the MFT recently by some security researchers. Nothing really easy that I know of. [00:16] Superstar, I have tools that work perfectly for ntfs. Why would I use something that isn't native to the fs? [00:17] redDEADresolve: you can hit escape to bring up the text, or, i found this on a forum: "You just need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, find the line that is used to boot your kernel, and remove the 'splash' option from it. If you want even more text, remove the 'quiet' option as well." [00:17] Superstar: fixntfs is like a lite version of chkdsk, but you usually want chkdsk [00:17] Axlin, thanks [00:17] meganerd no chkdsk won't recover mft or bootsector [00:18] Superstar correct. [00:18] still no joy [00:18] anyone recommend good program to keep track of internet traffic/usage? [00:18] Superstar: but windows install cd has fixboot and fixmbr [00:19] Superstar: either way this sounds OT to me [00:19] meganerd: this really should be in ##windows. [00:19] KINGOFSWORDS: tomato and ddwrt but they're router based and limited to some routers only [00:19] meganerd I appreciate your help but those won't recover a deleted partition [00:19] <__yhvh__> I've got my dual monitors set up, in windows now flash can stay fullscreen on one even if you shift focus to another window, is this possible on ubuntu? [00:19] Hey guys, I have a problem... I don't know what caused it, since I wasn't home at the time (my mom said the computer just "turned off"...), but when booting into Linux (after the OS selection screen), the output is the following: http://pastebin.com/dCA8K5aE Then it just becomes a black screen. [00:19] oh...i use 3g fone and have 80gb cap so wanted to keep track [00:20] Do you think AT&T is a good internet provider? [00:20] Superstar: foremost can sometimes carve files out of a disk image (or raw disk device), autopsy and sleuthkit are probably your next best bets [00:20] !recovery | Superstar, i wasn't following, but some of these can find lost partitions [00:20] Superstar, i wasn't following, but some of these can find lost partitions: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [00:20] !recover | Superstar - sorry not that, this [00:20] Superstar - sorry not that, this: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:20] i need to sleep now guys. thank you very much for all your help. will figure this out 2moro. good night [00:21] LjL: lost partition ntfs [00:21] hello, wat is the irc channel for linux mint? [00:21] sorry for bothering again, but still can't find out a binary to install glade-3 :( I would like to find the repository URL and add it to synaptic sources. And then just intsall the package with synaptic. How can i do this? Couldn't find the repository in launchpad... [00:21] Jeruvy: likely doesn't matter to tools like testdisk and gpart [00:22] Is it me or does Ubuntus desktop look sexier than Windows 7 and Macs O/S? [00:22] Superstar: fixmbr might be what you want, best to ask about that in a Windows channel [00:22] There must be one, for more mint-specific questions, right? [00:22] Hi again guys, i just found out that the filesystem that the backup.tar file is, is a NTFS filesystem [00:22] google it [00:22] !mintsupport | salmiak [00:22] salmiak: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:22] ok thanks [00:24] Refrace: Hi I wrote some time ago and told that I overwrote my backup.tar file with an empty folder, and now i found out that it's a NTFS filesystem instead of ex2-4. Any good ideas on how i could have a chance restoreing the file? [00:24] PetePorty: read response #3 and #6 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1167710 [00:24] :( [00:24] MaRk-I: Thanks a lot, mate. [00:25] Is there a Esperanto ubuntu irc? [00:26] raido: i was thinking custom kernel and no x [00:26] hum [00:26] Sup ununtu [00:26] Ubuntu [00:26] JAQK-Joker: #ubuntu-eo exists, but is empty. [00:26] can anyone here help me out with jdownloader? since their channels seems pertty dead [00:26] PetePorty: just make sure you use the actual partition of your system [00:26] jessicaBR: the only packages I can find for glade-3 are from hardy, which is pretty much end of life. [00:27] rww: Where have you been? [00:27] MaRk-I: Of course. ;) [00:30] stupid question? how do i find a files name when i dont know where its isntalled?

[00:36] Do I need to create a separate partition for grub settings? [00:36] JAQK-Joker: install the 'firefox' package from your package manager. [00:36] how do i install google chrome on unbuntu === PetePorty is now known as Sorry [00:37] rww: Thank You [00:37] any idea why there is a significant pause between user input of sudo password and the expected terminal response when using sudo after the cache timeout ? === Sorry is now known as PolarPanda [00:37] tony__: install 'chromium-browser' for chromium, or see http://chrome.google.com/ for Chrome (which is supported by Google, not us) [00:37] or maybe they don't support it either. who knows. [00:39] qikky: no [00:39] Is there a irc channel for talking about anyting? [00:39] hola? [00:39] edbain: so I should install grub on /dev/sda? [00:39] JAQK-Joker: maybe #defocus [00:40] jrib: Thank You [00:40] qikky: grub resides in two places. The first is in the MBR (master boot record). That's on the harddrive (not a partition). The other place is in a folder called /boot. You can put /boot on another partition. You do not have to. [00:41] when i install google chrome it says error amd 64 [00:41] Ok, thanks. [00:41] qikky: Hope that helps :) [00:43] tony_ do u have a 64 bit computer with ubuntu [00:44] tony__: i wouldnt use google chrome, opt for chromium [00:44] whats the difference between chrome and chromium? [00:45] How can I watch 1080p videos on ubuntu? [00:45] JAQK-Joker: play them? [00:45] lol [00:45] KindOne, [00:46] KINGOFSWORDS, chrome is from google, and they have all sorts of 'extras' that track you [00:46] I mean which video player has 1080p support? [00:46] chromium is the open source version [00:46] JAQK-Joker, any of them? [00:46] JAQK-Joker: Any video player will play video of any quality === yofel_ is now known as yofel [00:46] JAQK-Joker: i think you mean blu-ray support [00:46] its not the player, its the file [00:46] Yes. [00:46] but is chromium the same then but just a modified version [00:46] JAQK-Joker: It's not like a TV :) [00:47] KINGOFSWORDS, incorrect, chrome is the modified version of chromium [00:47] edbian: and I thought this was apple tv support room [00:47] chrome stemmed off chromium [00:47] did google copy it then? [00:47] itaylor57: :) This is Ubuntu support! [00:47] i wouldnt say they coppied it, because they are the maintainers of it i believe [00:47] i got chromium..didnt realise it was any differnt [00:48] On another note which is more prone to viruses ubuntu or windows? [00:48] its really not [00:48] JAQK-Joker, neither [00:48] ubuntu cant get virus [00:48] !troll [00:48] computers dont get viruses, the people that run them do :) [00:48] JAQK-Joker: Viruses are not a concern on linux [00:48] Just curious here, /md0 is composed of sdb and sdc. Configured in raid 1. sdb has partitions 1,2 and 5, while sdc has partitions 1. wut? [00:48] Why? [00:48] JAQK-Joker: windows 7 is much better security than windows xp was. windows xp was relatively insecure [00:48] * Juv1228 facepalms [00:49] i got bit of a sniftal...thought that would stop when i switched 2 linux=( [00:49] JAQK-Joker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [00:49] edbian: Thank You [00:49] JAQK-Joker: Mostly because of file permissions. Files cannot be harmed by programs that don't run as root. Programs cannot make themselves root without a password. [00:49] Kindari, that doesn't look right [00:49] basically, dont do stupid things and you wont get viruses [00:49] JAQK-Joker: In windows xp. Every program was effectively 'root' [00:49] sdb and sdb should match [00:50] *sdc [00:50] JAQK-Joker: you should _really_ read that page i just linked for you. [00:50] that too [00:50] i want 2 create a shortcut to compizconfig settings manager but cant find the correct file name? [00:50] sndngnr: Thats what I thought. This is a brand new install. sda should always be / right? [00:50] KINGOFSWORDS, cssm [00:50] KINGOFSWORDS: ccsm [00:50] ccsm i mean [00:50] i dont know why, but my laptop decided to open about 1000 terminal windows by itself for no reason other than maybe my enter button was stuck while the terminal icon was highlighted. is there some terminal command line i could use to kill either all open terminals or all open windows instead of clicking "x"s for the next 5 minutes? [00:50] Juv1228: typo :) [00:51] Kindari, appears that you have the sdb/sdc rw devices defined as /md0 so raid is overlooking the partition table... but it could still cause problems [00:51] ahhh brilliant thx guys [00:51] lol [00:51] how would i find that out in the future for other apps thou [00:51] UbuntuNoob: pick one terminal and run this: killall gnome-terminal [00:51] KINGOFSWORDS: you could also try out the helper program : fusion-icon [00:51] depends on where you wanted / [00:51] thanks edbiam [00:51] ubuntunoob: that big button on the front works good too [00:51] edbian [00:51] UbuntuNoob: [00:51] airtonix: Thank You [00:51] airtonix: good link thanks [00:52] juv1228: yeah,but i was going for something that didnt involve shutting down the computer [00:52] what is /dev/vg0? i am running something that is looking for that path? [00:52] then killall is your best bet [00:52] thanks for the help guys [00:52] Kindari: depends, where is / supposed to be mounted? [00:53] * NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING [00:53] does this mean open gl is disbaled? [00:53] sndngnr: Not quite sure now :) heres my setup and what I want. I have a 500gb that I installed to, then I have 2x 2TB drives I configured to be raid1 during install, mounted on /data. [00:53] cssm doesnt work [00:54] ls [00:54] KINGOFSWORDS: ccsm not cssm [00:54] Now /data doesnt even exist [00:54] quit [00:54] hmmm... [00:54] Which MP3 player is good to run on Ubuntu? [00:54] sorry i mean cssm doesnt work [00:54] is there an entry in /etc/fstab ? [00:54] KINGOFSWORDS: ? [00:54] KINGOFSWORDS, ccsm [00:54] for /data [00:55] KINGOFSWORDS: ccsm not cssm [00:55] no entry [00:55] two c's one s one m [00:55] lol that make perfect sense now..sorry little dsylexic [00:55] its works btw thanks very much [00:56] KINGOFSWORDS: :D [00:56] So now I'm thinking thought sda and sdc are my two data drives. which means my o.0 at different ammount of partitions is solved. [00:56] is it possible to compile and use libusb as 32bit, on a 64bit ubuntu install? [00:56] i have a python script that uses pyusb(which in turn uses libusb) and i have a feeling its libusb's fault [00:56] Juv1228: you can download 32 bit libs for a 64bit system [00:57] if there is no /data entry in fstab, it might not be mounted [00:57] cat /proc/mdstat [00:57] as the same exact setup works on 32bit [00:57] wasnt aware libusb was available precompiled [00:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [00:57] when i click GLX dock(cairo dock with openGL) if make mulitple copies of my cairo dock.....is there anything i can do to stop this? [00:58] !info libusb [00:58] Package libusb does not exist in maverick [00:58] there are some good commands at the bottom === PolarPanda is now known as SeeriousBiz [00:59] !info libusb-1.0-0 [00:59] libusb-1.0-0 (source: libusb-1.0): userspace USB programming library. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.8-2 (maverick), package size 30 kB, installed size 112 kB [00:59] sndngnr: thanks for your help, I'll retrace everything I did. [01:00] so how would i go about installing the 32bit version of that through apt? [01:00] if thats how its done [01:00] Juv1228: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libusb [01:01] silly question, but how do i get my email notifier to change colors again? is it only in specific themes (like ubuntu default)? [01:01] how can I get a list of files between a certain size on my filesystem? I'm trying to pin something down. Can't I do this with find? [01:02] itaylor57, so i just grab the 32bit deb and run deb? [01:02] <-- long time windows moron just switched to ubuntu [01:03] well, unity destroyed my laptop [01:03] Juv1228: you would want the 32 bit libs to be in a different location than the 64bit [01:03] well, for now ill just overwrite them [01:03] because i just want to see if this one script will work [01:04] unity doesn't start on the startup, nothing works, just some windows without boarders or controls, what should I do? [01:04] and if i moved them i would have to change pyusb to find them [01:04] correct? [01:04] How can I disable the password length and complexity checks in ubuntu to allow a short simple password [01:04] Juv1228: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [01:05] Is there a Ubuntu irc channel where people can talk about anything? [01:05] #ubuntu-offtopic [01:05] JAQK-Joker: ^^^ [01:06] what_if: Yes what do you need? [01:06] ok, so what should I do to return back to the login screen? [01:06] JAQK-Joker: oh... for ubuntu chat to talk about anything: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:07] what_if: Thank You [01:07] suppose my system is set not to show the login screen on the startup, is there any way I force it to do so without using the options inside ubuntu? [01:07] s/anything/most things/ [01:08] well, not sure how this would work. but python is 64bit, ubuntu is 64bit and i want python to load a 32bit lib [01:08] so i would need to install a 32bit version of python too correct? [01:09] does anyone even sees this? [01:09] gavdari: yes [01:09] Juv1228: I probably have led you down the wrong path [01:09] lol, I was getting delusional [01:09] itaylor57, probably, im pretty stupid [01:10] whats the simplest way to get my python script to load32bit libusb on 64bit ubuntu [01:10] Juv1228: virtualenv [01:11] ok, I need to create a launcher that logs out, what is the correct command? [01:11] Juv1228: assuming your libusb is a python package. [01:11] it is not [01:11] the python script imports pyusb [01:11] which deals with libusb [01:11] !info libusb-1.0-0 [01:11] libusb-1.0-0 (source: libusb-1.0): userspace USB programming library. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.8-2 (maverick), package size 30 kB, installed size 112 kB [01:11] that being libusb [01:12] Juv1228: have you asked about this in #python ? === rcmaehl is now known as rcmaehl_mobile === rcmaehl_mobile is now known as rcmaehl [01:12] is there any way to fix right mouse button bug on ubuntu 9.04 ff3 [01:12] sort of [01:12] they basically said it was libusb [01:13] POPEYE: 9.04 is end-of-life and isn't supported here any mroe. [01:13] !eol [01:13] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:13] "go ask in #ubuntu" [01:13] Juv1228: i assume you're asking because libusb doesn't provide a 64bit version? [01:13] incorrect [01:13] it does [01:13] I love unity [01:13] i want 32bit [01:13] on 64bit ubuntu [01:13] how do I move launchers on the unity launcher? [01:14] 2D [01:14] unity 2D [01:14] Juv1228: because pyusb doesn't load the 64bit version? [01:14] it loads it, but im getting some funky usb errors === SeeriousBiz is now known as teen-sexy-girl [01:14] so i assumed it was something to do with libusb [01:14] and it works on 32bit ubuntu in a VM [01:14] Released versions of Ubuntu don't do multiarch, so have fun with that. === rcmaehl is now known as NT8 [01:15] hence, 'lets try 32bit libusb' [01:15] POPEYE, it might be that for some reason nautilus is not starting. a good way to check this is to run a terminal session (gnome-terminal) and then type nautilus --no-default-window, and then leave the terminal window open and see if you can use the right mouse button. [01:15] Juv1228: so you want to install both 32bit and 64bit versions of libusb on your 64bit system ? [01:15] hello, after installing ubuntu 9.10 (and deleting vista partition) and dual booting windows 7, grub2 cannot longer identify windows 7 but it identifies windows vista and when I boot into that it goes into recovery mode. Does anyone know how to fix this? [01:15] airtonix, correct === teen-sexy-girl is now known as teen-ugly-girl [01:16] Juv1228: i doubt pyusb is actually pointing at 64bit libusb on 64bit systems... it just tries to load libusb so if you had both.. how would it know which one to get ? === teen-ugly-girl is now known as PolarPanda [01:17] qikky, there is a command for refreshing the grub menu, which is escaping me at the moment.. it might help... [01:17] Juv1228: unless of course the python bindings libusb provides are named libusb32 or libusb64 [01:17] it would not, but once i get 32bit libusb installed i can worry about that [01:17] How could refreshing the menu help? [01:17] i believe it just calls a getlib or something to load the lib from whatever path it finds [01:18] Say you ssh into a remote vps and you're in the middle of filling in automated prompts to configure something in an application and the terminal disconnects because it's been idle - is there anyway to ssh back and return to that shell? [01:18] so i can just load it in python manually or specify a path [01:18] Superstar: use byobu or screen after your initial ssh login [01:18] Superstar: nope. That's why people use screen. [01:18] !screen [01:18] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [01:18] qikky, it's the update-grub command. sometimes the old grey matter doesn't fire on all cylinders, so to speak. :) [01:19] Juv1228: no idea [01:19] my question isnt about loading it in python tho [01:19] its actually getting the 32bit version installed [01:19] rww thanks dear [01:19] hylian, since it identifies the vista partition still, is it possible to edit that out with the windows 7 partition? [01:19] i assume i can just download the 32bit debs and install those to a non default location? [01:20] could anyone please help me with window decoration in unity? [01:20] hylian, i think the settings are inside grub.cfg file but I'm not sure if sda4 is the only thing I edit. [01:20] airtonix: yeh i didn't think [01:21] qikky, well, i am not a grub 2 comando, not an expert. here is the list of commands, and if you don't feel too overwhelmed with the console, you could do it.. :http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Bash%20Commands.html [01:21] qikky, hmm, if you are running grub 1, yes. If it's grub 2, then no. === vinicius is now known as Guest69470 [01:22] * hylian wonders why dev's don't add some gui controls to this stuff, not all of us are expoits! ;) [01:22] * edbian is an expoit [01:24] edbian, not an exploit, aye? LOL [01:24] haha [01:24] just an expoit [01:24] I was playing with compiz on natty when suddenly everything went black, so I restarted, now I'm stuck with a pidgin and nothing else, no panel, no launcher, no close or minimize button, nothing at all. Is there anything I can do? c'mon guys help me out here. [01:25] gavdari: alt + F2 works? [01:25] no [01:25] gavdari: ctrl + alt + F1 [01:25] gavdari: does that work? [01:26] updated wine and still no sound [01:26] gavdari, sounds like nautilus isn't loading, can you type nautilus --no-default-window into a terminal window? (besides using the ctrl-alt-f1, etc) [01:26] if i hit shift+tab it wont let me close the screen either [01:27] Hey guys is there anyway to get the new 4.0 firefox in LInux? [01:27] !FF4 [01:27] 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 [01:27] FlameTai1: sure is [01:27] FlameTai1, probably, if you didnt mind a little console wet work. [01:28] * hylian sees that edbian is on the ball, thanks. [01:28] edbian: Thank you. [01:28] I'm on fire :) [01:28] edbian: Would you happen to know why Ubuntu is not coming with it? lol [01:28] anon__, hmm, this is specifically a wine problem? [01:28] idk? [01:28] FlameTai1: Because they don't update packages until a new version comes out. [01:29] anon__, let me rephrase that, you have sound in everything except wine? [01:29] oh yes === derek_ is now known as MGMTM3 [01:30] i havent tried any other games though [01:30] anon__, what version of 'buntu are you running? [01:30] 10.10 [01:31] edbian: Ah k thanks. === PolarPanda is now known as IHadAGun === IHadAGun is now known as Poopooface [01:31] FlameTai1: no problem [01:32] after you install the kubuntu-desktop onto ubuntu how u use it? [01:32] anon__, from what i have read, the two likeliest culprits are either pulse audio, or a corrupted registry file. also some hardware causes this. [01:32] so what should i do? [01:33] anon__, how long ago did you install wine? [01:33] i just now updated it to the newest version [01:33] edbian: sorry I was trying to return to the GUI mode, yes it worked, but I don't know how to restart x from there [01:33] anon__, wine 1.3, or did you mean wine 1.2 [01:33] gavdari: well x is running if you have grahpics at all. You should restart gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm [01:33] 1.3 [01:33] did you have ctrl alt bs [01:33] hylian: there is no panel so there is no launcher for terminal, ctrl + alt + t doesn't work eithrt [01:34] gavdari: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [01:34] to close the xserver [01:35] How do I boot Ubuntu into command prompt from grub [01:36] I restarted gdm but everything is the same [01:36] anon__, well, it's probably not the corrupted registry then... your two best options are to find out what your audio card is, and look up that with reference to wine, or to wholeheartedly remove pulse audio. [01:36] which would have a better chance of working? [01:36] gavdari: mmmm, what if you restart (that might be a much simpler way to solve the problem) [01:37] Howdy, as the requisite preamble, I have been looking for hours for this and numerous other problems on google... thus why i am finally here: my system is crawling, and top shows that logrotate has been running for over 516 minutes around 90%, this just started today, any suggestions? [01:37] I did restart, it takes me where I am right now [01:37] does anyone know how to change the icon set in ubuntu 11.04? [01:37] When I am booting ubuntu it appears to be hanging when launch GDM. How do I boot into command shell from grub? [01:37] gavdari: can you start your gnome-panels? gnome-panel& ? [01:37] no [01:37] gavdari: or perhaps the window manager: metacity --replace& [01:38] anon__, to be honest, wine has worked so well for me, that i have had very little experience troubleshooting it. You might want someone else's opinion first. If it where me, I would remove my audio card and add another. I only have about 70 of them lying around form old machines... [01:38] perhaps is logrotate got a locking problem [01:39] * hylian also has about 1 billion s3 trio's lying around... :( [01:39] sorry, how can i change the icon set in 11.04? the appearance app doesn't have anything for icons in it [01:39] hey guys, if i want green colored text in the terminal i can do: "\e[33mtext" but how do i make it 'bold' instead? === Poopooface is now known as DRghd5rtj7 [01:40] Cort: Change Desktop Background, Themes, Click customize, click icons [01:40] Cort, there might not be a difference. the team has really focused their creative endeavors on unity. [01:40] Anyone know how I can boot into command shell from grub? [01:40] RoDiMuS-X: i'll try, thanks [01:41] restarting metacity or gnome-panel should be done from somewhere like Alt+F2 I guess [01:41] but all I have right now is this IRC channel and a console mode [01:41] gavdari1: compiz --replace& ? [01:41] from the console mode? [01:41] i wish you could do graphical things from ctrl alt-f6 or something, a side console to f7. that would be uber handy. [01:41] hylian, I tried, nothing works [01:42] gavdari1, i don't think the terminal em's like ctrl alt f1 are gonna work because those are all strictly non graphics, they don't run anything graphical... [01:43] another question, is the top panel permanently on or can we autohide it? [01:43] hylian, you're right [01:43] I was thinking on installing WINE on Natty for some games. Which version might be better suited? 1.2.2 or 1.3.12? [01:43] Cort: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion and support, please [01:43] CantWinn: you also [01:43] Can anyone help [01:43] rww: ah, thanks [01:43] gavdari1, someone is gonna scream at me, but i wouyld go to ctrl alt f1 and sudo apt-get remove that prog, get it running again, and then re-start. however, while this works fairly often, it is not a true solution. [01:44] is there a way on xchat to ignore messages about users who join and leave the channel? [01:44] anyone know why my laptop gets very hot running ubuntu but not that hot running windows? [01:44] I can't even do a CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a terminal GDM is hosing my computer [01:44] Can anyone help me pleaseee [01:45] hi [01:45] hylian, what prog do you mean? [01:45] I need to update a computer that doesn't have internet access, what is the best way to get the packages ? [01:45] I'm not even sure which packages are needed [01:46] gavdari1, c somehting, my brain aint working, cor* you know i cant think., [01:46] lol [01:46] have you looked up apt-offile# [01:46] I hate to install a fresh maverick, but I guess it's the only way [01:46] apt-offline [01:46] gavdari1, the one you where working on, the pretty graphics one. start with a c. I am brain dead. [01:47] hi guys, help me with this: hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [01:47] UbuntuNoob: right click the channel entry. [01:47] compiz? [01:47] i try to install ubuntu within windows [01:47] got this eror during boot up: hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [01:47] gavdari1, compiz [01:47] hylian, right, that may work, let me check [01:47] can someone help me at all? [01:47] !patience [01:47] 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/ [01:48] Phong_: sensible people don't use wubi [01:48] Phong_: Maybe you should just install using a traditional live cd [01:48] well, is there a way to use part of my C: drive ? [01:48] I need to load the package to let me display PHP files in apache2 [01:48] because my C drive is SSD [01:49] I want to take advantage of SSD [01:49] oba\ [01:49] airtonix, while i agree with you, people are afraid of screwing up their machine, and know that a file on their hd is safer than actually parsing out some real estate on your hd :) [01:49] Phong_: What are you trying to use your "c" drive for (such a windws term D: ) [01:49] i have 80GB SSD currently install windows ...all of it...i want to install ubuntu..but want to use this SSD as well. [01:49] I need to load the package to let me display PHP files in apache2 <-- how do I do that? [01:50] hylian, didn't work [01:50] should i use bastille on ubuntu 10.10? [01:50] Phong_: why do you think you can't do both? [01:50] gavdari, did you reboot? that was fast. [01:50] Phong_: Create a raid0 "disk" [01:50] edbian: hylian: I was playing with compiz on natty when suddenly everything went black, so I restarted, now I'm stuck with a pidgin and nothing else, no panel, no launcher, no close or minimize button, nothing at all. Is there anything I can do? c'mon guys help me out here. [01:50] yep [01:50] ! natty | gavdari [01:50] gavdari: 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 currently intended for production systems. [01:50] thanks airtonix [01:50] ok, I'm sorry, I'll take it there [01:51] UbuntuNoob: i'm not even sure why it's default to have it on... [01:51] soreau: ctrl + alt + F1, log in run compiz --replace& and switch back (ctrl + alt + F7) [01:51] edbian: *natty* [01:51] edbian: that's the key word here [01:51] soreau, what?!? how did that help gavdari? i still think it sounds like either gnome-panel or nautilus or both are not running... dang, let me think [01:51] soreau: ask in the other room :) [01:51] airtonix: yeah it seems really inconvenient to me. [01:51] hylian: edbian: FWIW, it's just unity-fail [01:51] Is this a quiz? [01:51] steff12321, does ubuntu allow you to install and partition windows C drive as space for it? [01:52] Phong_: Yes. Basically you shrink the windows drive down and install Ubuntu in a new partition next to it. [01:52] another quick question: if a file begins with a "." in one of my folders, what does that mean, and why can't i see it in the file manager [01:52] Why does Ubuntu setup not allow me to click "Next" on the "Creatue user profile" page? [01:52] i'm having some problems with sudo, why there is a significant pause between user input of sudo password and the expected terminal response when using sudo after the cache timeout ? [01:52] oh [01:52] soreau, congrats, you get a cookie, now help me help gavdari, please. [01:52] Hey, i have ubuntu on a flash drive to try it out, i love it, and i want to install it on my hard drive. If I install it with the "install ubuntu" icon on my desktop, will I be given the option to make it so my computer can boot to windows or ubuntu? And will i keep all my installed packages? [01:52] Phong_: 80 Should be enough room for both OSs if you don't have a lot of personal files [01:52] Phong_: YEah, do you know how to do that? It clearly tells you in the installation, bud [01:52] hylian: After natty release, we'll support it here [01:52] . files are always hidden in unix [01:52] edbian, well, what if later i want to get rid of ubuntu, can i combine the ubuntu back to windows? [01:52] Phong_, you can partition the hard disk, but "C:" is still going to mean Windows' part. [01:52] Then I'll be useless :( [01:52] how do i unhide them? [01:53] edbian: I run xUbuntu on 6GB :) [01:53] Phong_: yes [01:53] UbuntuNoob: ctrl+h [01:53] Why is the Ubuntu setup nearly finished but frozen? [01:53] soreau, his problem currently a non desktop after installing compiz.... can you help gavdari? [01:53] steff12321: I run Debian :) [01:53] TheOmnipotentPil: I think that if you install it it will give you an option to partition your drive [01:53] take off the . ort ask file manager to show hidden files [01:53] If i install ubuntu from a bootable flash drive, will i keep my installed applications? === DRghd5rtj7 is now known as OkFemaleAgain [01:53] thanks gavdari [01:53] ok, i'm going to logout this pc and use a laptop to chat with you guys, [01:53] brb okay? [01:53] TheOmnipotentPil: if you created a casper persistance partition or file, then yes it will [01:53] edbian: Do you know the backage to allow me to allow apache2 to run PHP files? [01:54] steff12321: I believe you just install php ? [01:54] i just downloaded bastille how do i run it? [01:54] i'm not sure if i have... [01:54] anyone know why my laptop gets much hotter on ubuntu than windows or how to fix it? [01:54] i'm a bit of an ubuntu noob [01:54] =/ [01:54] TheOmnipotentPil: if you used the gui on ubuntu to create it and fiddled with the slider at the bottom. then you did [01:54] edbian: Unable to locate package "php" [01:54] is there a channel for wine [01:55] steff12321: I'm not sure. Google it ;) [01:55] no, i used a program to install ubuntu on my flash drive [01:55] TheOmnipotentPil: haha dont worry i am too. it should keep everything you have as long as you dont erase the windows partition [01:55] j5, same here. [01:55] winehq [01:55] TheOmnipotentPil: the gui program i'm talking about is called "Startup Disk Creator" [01:55] !google [01:55] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:55] how come when i install 10.10 it gives me a command prompt when i boot up [01:55] ^^ edbian haha [01:55] i don't have a partition on my main drive.... [01:55] hey edbian, i ended up just uninstalling and starting from scratch [01:55] steff12321: you caught me! [01:55] WHY IS UBUNTU FROZEN? :@ [01:55] laptop_user: and? [01:55] edbian, problem solved lol [01:55] edbian: Aha! Yer under arrest for now memorizing all of the factoids! [01:56] ;'( [01:56] jt13, i think there is a channel for wine, give me asec. [01:56] not* [01:56] laptop_user: I'm glad it's fixed. I don't remember the issue though! :P [01:56] !ping [01:56] 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. [01:56] steff12321: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [01:56] does anyone know [01:56] edbian, couldn't get past plymouth [01:56] jt13, it's #winehq [01:56] TheOmnipotentPil: then i would suggest asking some of the more experienced users how to set up an ubuntu partition alongside an existing windows OS that takes up the whole drive, because im not sure how exactly to accomplish tht [01:56] ubottu: marvin... [01:56] laptop_user: I don't even know what plymouth is. [01:56] hylian, thank you [01:56] edbian: thank you [01:57] edbian, i do have two questions for you though [01:57] edbian, plymouth is the splash screen [01:57] jt13 no prob, bob. :) [01:57] TheOmnipotentPil: then i would suggest asking some of the more experienced users how to set up an ubuntu partition alongside an existing windows OS that takes up the whole drive, because im not sure how exactly to accomplish that [01:57] if you have one enabled [01:57] laptop_user: ah, what are your questions? [01:57] steff12321: no problem [01:57] it is however dead hylian [01:57] Question #1. Why is Ubuntu frozen? Question #2: Why is Ubuntu frozen? and Question #3: WHY IS UBUNTU FROZEN? :@ :'( [01:58] LetsGo67: What are you talking about? [01:58] jt13, i am afraid that problem i cannot solve. their is a winehq social club channel, that might be less dead, want the chat room name? [01:58] LetsGo67: the version? Or your OS is frozen right now [01:58] hylian, yes please if you dont mind [01:58] Edbian: The Ubuntu 64-bit setup. It happened TWICE. And also any video editor is really buggy. [01:58] hi i hav a problem with empathy [01:58] im running 10.10 and for some reason my laptop likes to hibernate for no apparent reason and i have enough time to see a message that has something that says what i think is "atiixp: codec reset timeout". the codec reset timeout im sure it says, and the rest i based of googling similar results [01:58] LetsGo67: ? what? [01:58] edbian: So how do I install it? Do I have to compile it? A LOT of people here know how that went last time I tried to compile something :P [01:58] jt13, it is #winehq-social. [01:59] edbian, my laptop is a HP laptop with the touch sensitive quick launch buttons... how do i identify its label so that i can go to keyboard shortcuts and assign something to the 2 that ubuntu didnt assign [01:59] steff12321: You shouldn't have to compile. Let me take a closer look [01:59] hylian, thanks again [01:59] LetsGo67: try a restart if your OS is frozen. unless you tried that [01:59] Edbian: It won't finished installing and i cannot create an account. [01:59] * hylian says no prob to jt13. [01:59] steff12321: what are you asking about? [01:59] Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04/10.10 on my pc, and 10.10 gives me an error about not being able to mount /dev/loop and something with casper, and 11.04 hangs up after checking for available space and asking whether it should download updates or not, when shutting it down via CTRL ALT 1 and then sudo reboot, it also hangs at something with casper. Any ideas? [02:00] LetsGo67: the user name must be in lower case [02:00] laptop_user: Use the keyboard shortcuts thing. Pick an option, try to change its' keybinding. Press the button you want. It should fill it with something like 'xf86audiomute' [02:00] LetsGo67: what is your username? [02:00] KNUBBIG: How much RAM do you have on the PC? [02:00] edbian when i log onto yahoo messenger and connect to the server it doesn't list the chat rooms [02:00] steff12321 16 GB [02:00] 16 gigs? :OOOO [02:00] y [02:00] KNUBBIG: Disk space? [02:00] 2 TB [02:00] who [02:00] nice comp you got there [02:01] zach_: No clue. I don't use yahoo messenger [02:01] ill say [02:01] are you trying to install 32x or 64x ?? [02:01] thanks, just got it, had ubuntu running fine on my old one [02:01] steff12321: have you tried "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5" [02:01] KNUBBIG, i may be a bit off the mark, but i remember seeing that message with a post i read about usb keys or removeable media. This is a faint memory about a post i read a mellenia ago, so like i said.... [02:01] 64 [02:01] should i try logging in and out? [02:01] hylian thanks i'll look for that [02:01] steff12321: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 [02:01] Ben64: works, thanks :) [02:01] np [02:01] KNUBBIG: server or desktop? [02:01] steff12321 desktop [02:01] any clues as to my problem with the random hibernate and the black screen that says atiixp codec reset timeout when its going into hibernate mode? [02:02] edbian steff12321: 64 bits [02:02] LetsGo67: 32 bits [02:02] edbian: Why? [02:02] KNUBBIG: Ahahah, well I dont wanna tell you how much of a waste of ram and money that is... ANYWAYS... Try the alternate install [02:02] UbuntuNoob: have you tried disabling power management stuff? [02:02] !alternate [02:02] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [02:02] LetsGo67: I only have 1 Gb of ram [02:03] steff12321 Ok, I will, thanks. I've got Windows 7 running atm, using it for VMs and stuff [02:03] Ben64: like the autohibernate? i can try i guess, but it happens when im using the computer, so i doubt it would be from idling too long if thats what you mean [02:03] edbian: I have 2.5GB, my rented server has more than my comp... How sad would that makeyou??? [02:03] I figured it out thanks for the help [02:03] steff12321: why would that be a waste of ram and money? just curious [02:03] edbian: Whyh does 64GB exist? [02:03] edbian: Whyh does 64-bit (sorry) exist? [02:03] # ubuntu-br === vinicius is now known as Guest52918 [02:03] edbian, ok... thought i had to do it the other way around.. i.e. know that this specific button is identified as x86blahblah in order to assign [02:03] 64bit = more than 4Gig of Memory [02:04] 64 bit is twice as good as 32 bit [02:04] LetsGo67: It allows you to access more than 3.2Gb of ram and it is more efficient :) [02:04] laptop_user: Nope. Is that working for you? (sometimes those buttons don't work at all) [02:04] Ben64: ahahaha [02:04] edbian: So why doesn't Ubuntu give me a popup saying "There's no point of installing 32 bits" instead of just freezing twice on me? [02:04] UbuntuNoob, what version are you running? this seems to be a mute point, it looks like this problem was solved in 2005... [02:05] UbuntuNoob: err, because Ubuntu doesnt need more than 1gb to operate, 2gb would be more than enough, 4GB would let you run almost all programs, if anuthin, 6Gb should let you run all of the programs ar=t a great performance... for ubuntu, anything above that is just wasted [02:05] Ben64: I'd say 33 bit is twice as good as 32 bit. And then 34 bit is twice as good as *that*. :) [02:05] LetsGo67: I have no idea why the installer is freezing. You can install Ubuntu 32 bit on 64 bit hardware. It won't hurt anything. Some people prefer it (but not really anymore) [02:05] edbian: But isn't Flash etc. not available for 64 bits? [02:05] haick ! [02:05] im trying to change permissions on a directory and its files, im looking at this webpage about permissions and im scratching my head... [02:05] LetsGo67: Linus Torvalds says that if you assume your users are idiots only idiots will use your software [02:05] LetsGo67: flash works fine in 64 bit [02:05] hylian: 10.10 very recently installed === dabbish_ is now known as dabbish2 [02:05] LetsGo67: Flash on 64 bit is a solved problem [02:06] lol ebian I like that saying [02:06] edbian y Ben64: and since when? [02:06] i'm setting up two dhcp servers and i want one to be a backup… any good docs on how to do this? [02:06] edbian, havent tried. working on homework. im sure it will though. just thought that i had to query it in terminal (remember coming across a link that told how) [02:06] steff12321: oh good point. i wasnt challenging btw just curious. knowledge greedy if you will [02:06] really? what about Ming the Merciless? [02:06] edbian: Not really nice. :( :@ [02:06] LetsGo67: IDK. I don't use flash on 64 bits. I wish I didn't have to use flash at all [02:06] also, my ocmputer just decided to hibernate again as i was looking for an answer online.... [02:06] LetsGo67: for a pretty long time, adobe released it, then hid it, and released it again [02:06] UbuntuNoob, hmm, it's funny but most of the posts are dated 2005 or older, but their is 1 new post for 2010... i'm gonna have to do some digging, brb [02:06] laptop_user: there is probably some way to figure it out in the terminal [02:06] http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/flashplayer10/square64bit [02:07] hylian: thanks, ill try too i guess [02:07] uh oh, its gone [02:07] :( [02:07] LetsGo67: Linus is not always the nicest :) [02:07] UbuntuNoob: nah, just explaining :) Anyways, anything above 10GB, even on windows should run just about anything and more [02:07] UbuntuNoob, check your screen saver section and then your power management features, make sure you wack the "make default" button once you find it. [02:07] edbian, there is... just cant find that link again and dont remember how i came across it [02:07] http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ [02:07] edbian, ok 2nd question [02:07] how do i change the owner of a dir from root? [02:07] its there now [02:07] WHere do I get the sphere desktop option in Ubuntu? I only see the cube [02:07] edbian & Ben64: it is annoying [02:07] laptop_user: ready and waiting [02:07] wjd86: chown [02:08] hylian: also, just to save time maybe, it doesnt say atiixp-modem codec reset timeout, i believe it there is no modem and it says "atiixp codec reset timeout" [02:08] ahh kk [02:08] thanks [02:08] wjd86: sudo chown newOwner filename [02:08] steff12321: yeah i was surprised when i saw 16 GB the most ive see in 8 i think [02:08] thanks [02:08] HyperShock: will do thanks [02:08] loquitusofborg1 something like compiz-plugins-extra [02:08] wjd86, as root do "chown -R user:user "; highly suggest you do "man chown" [02:09] Is there a way to create an upstart job that automatically starts and stops whether it has a network connection, i.e. whenever a LAN cable is plugged in or out? Is that what 'start on network' does? [02:09] hi [02:09] alright, i changed screensaver to 15 mins and hibernate to 30 mins so well see [02:09] hello, I did a big mistake and would like to get my bottom bar back with the work space on the right side, how can I get this back. I don't know how or what I pressed to make it go away. [02:10] ariel_: right click the top one and choose 'add new panel' [02:10] KNUBBIG: thanks pal [02:10] laptop_user: what is this second question? [02:10] loquitusofborg1 np :) [02:10] Anyone got any experience running the game League Of Legends, in ubuntu using either Wine or Cedega? [02:10] ariel: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel [02:10] rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel [02:10] pkill gnome-panel [02:10] ariel_, on the top bar, right click and choose new panel, then you see the bottom bar comes back, then right click it and choose add to panel and go through the list and add things back and move them as you please by right clicking them, unlock and lock as necessary [02:10] edbian, ok my mute button is blue, and when muted.... red... works fine... but when i shut down (muted) then restart... it restarts (muted) as it should, but the mute button isnt red this time.... is there a way to make it remember [ if muted -> button red ] [02:10] Whats the package for mysql? [02:11] ariel_ then right click on things you want and choose move [02:11] ariel: that will restore the default gnome panels [02:11] great t/y [02:11] Whats the package for mysql? [02:11] laptop_user: I don't think so. Sounds like a disconnect between the hardware and the mutedness [02:11] laptop_user: You could figure out what module it is and remove it then re-instert it [02:12] steff12321, goto your synaptic and search for it, the answer will be revealed there. :) [02:12] edbian, what do you mean? how to figure out module? [02:12] is there a way to improve performance for flash player? [02:12] UbuntuNoob, you have me stumped. This appears to be possibly a audioo codec problem OR a network/internet problem. since the two are utterly unrelated, i am at a loss. can someone else help UbuntuNoob? I will keep looking [02:12] laptop_user: my laptop should display a light when it is muted and no light when it isnt, and since i installed ubuntu it hasnt lit up when i press it to mute the sound, although the sound does mute just fine [02:12] HyperShock: Thanks you :) [02:12] laptop_user: look in sudo lspci -k (maybe it shows up there) It will be called 'driver' though. [02:13] * HyperShock nods at steff12321 [02:13] edbian ; perfect now i can save my html :P [02:13] hylian: hmm ill try to pay attention to if it happens only when sound is present then to see if it is an audio or network problem perhaps? [02:13] i have two system,, On one with intel on laptop,, the flash video plays fine.. while.. other system even though it has nvidia 430 GT the flash video hiccups [02:13] The source is same.. [02:13] its really more inconvenient than it is crippling; i can press the power button and be back to where i was within a minute or so [02:14] theteju, do you have the proper nvidia driver activated? [02:14] wjd86: hurray :) [02:14] HyperShock : I have glx 260 [02:14] UbuntuNoob, that's the strange thing about ati ixp, it can be either. there are plenty of things on google to suggest this. it can be audio codec related, modem related, or network related, or all three... strange. [02:15] I have a raid card in my ubuntu box; how do I know how to addresss it? It is at this moment only configured in the BIOSes. [02:15] What is the purpose of XChat-GNOME seems to be missing functionality [02:15] edbian, http://pastebin.com/emXyCsri [02:16] what is the KDE desktop name. I'm attempting to download it [02:16] UbuntuNoob, either way this is related to ati hardware. have a ait gfx card or motherboard? [02:16] Where has software sources been moved to in the new gnome? [02:16] toph used to be kde4 I think [02:16] laptop_user: I was afraid. I don't see it there. Not sure how else to find out the module. [02:16] laptop_user: I know lsmod lists all the modules currently being used but that output is somewhat cryptic. [02:17] Bite, it's hidden. you can access it through synaptic, or go into the menu and make it visible again. [02:17] hylian: i believe it has an ati graphics card, what is the terminal command to check my hardware? [02:17] UbuntuNoob should be lspci afaik [02:17] hylian: where exactly? [02:17] jiohdi,,, sudo apt-get install kde4 doesn't work either [02:17] i was thinking it might be that hp company driver thing [02:17] RoDiMuS-X: xchat-gnome is a stripped version of the original XChat with less features and only the most common settings included (KISS principle). [02:17] UbuntuNoob, "lspci" [02:18] laptop_user: the driver being used is almost definitely the open source one [02:18] edbian, could it be line 64? [02:18] MaRk-I: so there is really no advantage to using Xchat-gnome [02:18] Bite, if you right click the main menu, and go to edit, it's somewhere in system, either preferences or admin, i'm thinking admin. [02:18] Toph, you're going to have open your synaptic, and install kde from the meta packages you can find them under the meta categories. [02:19] RoDiMuS-X: other than simplicity, no you can install the regular xchat if you like [02:19] hylian, im guessing it has an ati motherboard and gfx card because i see ati pop up multiple times for host bridge, pci bridge, etc [02:19] try: sudo apt-get kde-base [02:19] UbuntuNoob, not certain, i have an nvidia card, it works well. [02:19] laptop_user: could be. That's a weird thing. sudo modprobe -r k8temp and see what happens [02:19] HyperShock,,, thanks,, going there [02:19] MaRk-I: I just tried it for the first time and thought I was crazy because I was missing stuff [02:19] edbian, no feedback [02:20] UbuntuNoob, if you type nano /var/log/XFree86.0.log this should give you some clues hopefully, or you could gedit /var/log/XFree86.0.log [02:20] Toph, also kde-full [02:20] hylian: i do know it has an ati gfx card, i remember that [02:20] laptop_user: Do the buttons light up / do anything? [02:20] Pici, the skype wrapper cannot be found. do you know what is going on [02:20] I can't find the package ms-sys. Has it been removed? [02:20] RoDiMuS-X: lol yeah, kind of "confusing" I guess is just for emergencies when you need IRC help [02:20] Anyone else using Unity3D? [02:20] Bite it might be part of the winetricks add ons now. [02:21] edbian, yeah they work fine... just two arent mapped 'dvd' and 'quickplay' and the thing with the mute button not staying red on reboot [02:21] hylian: i tried both of those, both were blank [02:21] RoDiMuS-X, didn't know 3d was even available yet. [02:21] laptop_user: put the module back in. sudo modprobe k8temp that wasn't it [02:21] yup I have it working with my ATI 4200 finally [02:21] UbuntuNoob, are you running a 64 bit version of ubuntu, because that would account for their being blank. [02:22] anyone mind helping me with a noob issue? [02:22] jiohdi,,, that did it [02:22] Whats going on wjd86 [02:22] wjd86, if you don't mind a possible noob answer :) i am only partly not noobish myself. [02:22] im setting up a lampserver, and following a website ; http://grasshopperpebbles.com/ubuntu/setting-up-ubuntu-for-web-development/ [02:22] hylian: not sure, i downloaded it a looong time ago. how to check [02:22] ? [02:22] Ok, for some reason, this program wont detech mySQL [02:23] when it comes to testing php [02:23] Hello [02:23] im going to assume help > about [02:23] Anyone got any experience running the game League Of Legends, in ubuntu using either Wine or Cedega? [02:23] edbian, put back in... [02:23] im not sure what im supposed to see on http://localhost.pInfo.php [02:23] UbuntuNoob, i think the command is uname -a, but i could be wrong [02:23] laptop_user: maybe look at lsmod ? [02:23] How can I overcome my Bios Limitation of 137GB USB Hard Disk access? [02:23] exit [02:24] oops [02:24] airmon-ng === root is now known as Guest22060 [02:24] is what i see, but im not sure if thats what im supposed to see [02:24] when booting syslinux* [02:24] i got a lot of info about my laptop, but not about the version im running [02:24] GatunoRox, partitions? [02:24] wjd86: wanna make it easy, try this http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html [02:24] edbian, like i said... buttons work except the two unmapped. and then that mute button not staying red if it boots as muted [02:24] UbuntuNoob, it should either say x86-64 or x86-32 [02:25] laptop_user: I'm thinking if you unload and load the module you can fix the red button problem. As for the mappings, just set those up in keyboard shortcuts [02:25] if you are seeing when you visit the page that means PHP module is not loaded [02:25] UbuntuNoob, for instance, my machine: x86_64 GNU/Linux [02:25] normally apt-get install apache2 php5 should do everything for you :o [02:25] hylian: my laptop, 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 14:40:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux [02:26] hylian: Technically it's amd64 (there is no such thing as X86_64) [02:26] I tried that in the past still have to configure some stuff manually [02:26] jiohdi: I boot Grub4DOS fine from syslinuz installed on the firt partition of my 640GB USB HDD, but it is unable to look after 137GB of my drive, as it stalls and crashes [02:26] mysql-secure-setup did everything I needed (only using it for development) [02:26] edbian, your right, but thats what uname -a gives me. [02:26] so should i switch to xamp? [02:26] or could i just fix this [02:26] I thought 64bit processors where still built on the x86 arch? [02:26] and btw, i am totally new to this as well [02:26] hylian: what does it say exactly? i686_64 or something? [02:27] UbuntuNoob, so that's not the proble, your running straight out 32 bit. hmm. [02:27] UbuntuNoob, cat /etc/issue [02:27] edbian, how to load/unload module? [02:27] RoDiMuS-X: They are. But technically they are their own architecture. (obviously they're different than regular x86) [02:27] edbian it says x86_64 GNU/Linux. (copy and pasted from terminal, after typing uname -a [02:27] im absolutely surprised at the amount of peer to peer help that comes with the ubuntu experience [02:27] moes: Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l [02:27] is what i got [02:27] laptop_user: sudo modprobe and sudo modprobe -r figuring out the module name is the hard part [02:27] wjd86: did you do an apt-get install php5 [02:28] hylian: interesting! [02:28] the -cli ? [02:28] hylian, edbian : it says :Linux AMD64 2.6.32-30-generic [02:28] hylian: that's not a thing I don't think. Although it is clear what htat means [02:28] wjd86 only sudo apt-get install php5 [02:28] tjiggi_fo, for you yes, for me no. i am not who needs the help though, i am trying to help UbuntuNoob. [02:28] lol it just downloaded [02:28] hate being noob [02:28] I am wrong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_64 [02:29] edbian, which module? [02:29] wjd86 everyone starts small :) [02:29] and possibly thank you, lets test it [02:29] laptop_user: that's what I mean. I don't know [02:29] wjd86: nothing wrong with being a n00b [02:29] wjd86: the p2p help is my favorite part. i find everyone on the IRC to be exponentially more helpful than any windows support i ever received. oh wait, thats because i had to pay for windows support and never go tany -__- [02:29] laptop_user: lsmod will list them all but I don't know how to tell what each one is used for [02:29] if i uninstall skype will i lose my contacts [02:29] UbuntuNoob has a really strange error, and google says it's either a modem problem/net or a gfx problem...?? [02:29] edbian, oh lol my bad [02:29] WeThePeople no [02:30] hylian: tjiggi_fo The article says it was renamed to amd64 in 2003 [02:30] wjd86: I use xampp just because its quick and easy for development testing [02:30] edbian, how to use lsmod command? i know in terminal... do i sudo lsmod and thats it? [02:30] laptop_user: yeah [02:30] nope php isnt loaded :/ :/ :/ [02:30] laptop_user: you don't even need sudo [02:30] same message [02:30] wjd86: you have to restart your apache server [02:30] wjd86 /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [02:30] edbian, tjiggi_fo, yes, i know, and thanks :) i was just repeating uname from 10 minutes ago. I got me a strange machine or somehting. [02:31] kk ill try [02:31] hylian: pre 2003 processor? [02:31] edbian, ok [02:31] edbian, acutally no, it's only 5 years old, but then again, it could have sat on a shelf for a couple of years. [02:31] I guess [02:31] hylian: i was advised to run dmesg | grep ati | tail after it happened [02:32] maybe they didn't change the string on it right away [02:32] unable to open logs [fail] [02:32] ill pastebin it :/ [02:32] wjd86: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [02:32] UbuntuNoob, good idea, get all the data you can. i also suggest if you do have a 64 bit capable os to consider updating to the 64 bit version. it will handle your hardware better. [02:32] :/ [02:33] restarted [02:33] UbuntuNoob, i meant 64 bit capable machine, my bad. [02:33] same message at http://localhost.pInfo.php [02:33] what is the command for removing skype [02:33] Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find everything that is compiled into the ubuntu kernels? [02:33] WeThePeople should be sudo apt-get remove --purge skype [02:33] hylian: i think it would be, how would i check [02:34] wjd86: Oops! Google Chrome could not find localhost.pinfo.php [02:34] * hylian is running FVWM Crystal and loving it! [02:34] google is ur freind lol [02:34] edbian, http://pastebin.com/YJRbEt0H [02:34] KNUBBIG, thankyou [02:34] laptop_user: It makes as much sense to me as it does to you right now buddy :) [02:34] wjd86: I would give xampp a try its easy [02:35] the new 11.ubtuntu [02:35] is pretty nciee [02:35] Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find everything that is compiled into the ubuntu kernels? [02:35] is this cheatcode "toram" supported for booting the CD? I wish to load the ubuntu cd in ram memory and install [02:35] ? [02:36] do i have to select install alongside other operating system? [02:36] UbuntuNoob, it's cat /proc/cpuinfo in the terminal, although this will shoot out a ton of data. [02:36] if i do, later on can i delete it [02:37] Anyone have any luck with Novatel 4G USB cards? [02:37] danny__: LTE or WiMAX? [02:37] edbian, how bout soundcore? [02:37] sndngnr: Verizon so LTE i believe [02:38] Anyone care to undertake a task :) [02:38] edbian, wait, should i be looking for the module for the quick launch buttons or the sound module? [02:38] haven't found anything googling the usb id [02:38] hylian: i did that and this was what seemed relevant: clflush size : 64 [02:38] cache_alignment : 64 [02:38] address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual [02:39] UbuntuNoob: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags and if you see "lm" (for Long Mode) in there then your CPU is 64 bit [02:39] danny__: LTE is next on list, working on WiMAX at the moment (@work, networking...) [02:39] sorry... [02:39] any help bot on the channerl? [02:39] channel? [02:39] What's the best way to have a portable Full installation of Ubuntu on USB HDD, in a way it wouldn't be affected by BIOS device adressing (hdX,Y), and be able to overcome 127GiB USB BIOS limitation? [02:39] sndngnr: cool enough. I found a driver for an LG 4G card that seems to be similar [02:39] UbuntuNoob, do you have any audio when the machine runs? [02:40] hylian: yeah, im listening to music right now [02:40] 127gb usb bios? [02:40] Thats a huge bios? [02:40] tjiggi_fo: i do see lm thanks [02:40] Phong_, how big is your harddrive? [02:40] UbuntuNoob, k [02:40] GatunoRox, Can you rephrase that? [02:41] tjiggi_fo: keep it clean... [02:41] how would i upgrade from the 32 bit of 10.10 to the 64 bit without doing a new install? [02:41] ;) [02:41] UbuntuNoob, this is one error that is gonna be a toughy to nail down. It could be your sound card, your motherboard, your video card, or all three if the audio and video card are integrated... I am afraid I am personally stumped, sorry. [02:41] sndngnr, what did I say that wasn't? [02:41] nevermind... [02:42] hylian: its all good thank you very much for the attempt [02:42] UbuntuNoob, well, thanks, but I wish i could have helped you out... [02:42] UbuntuNoob: Generally, you don't, it mainly boils down to the fact that in almost all cases, it will be easier to backup and reinstall. [02:42] Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find everything that is compiled into the ubuntu kernels? Google yields no results and ubuntu website docs are really what im looking for. [02:43] UbuntuNoob, i would definetely try the 64 bit os, it might solve your problems. [02:43] gah thats my third install in 2 days [02:43] UbuntuNoob, you have to do a clean install to replace 32 with 64 [02:43] UbuntuNoob, or don't and live with it, if it's not too annoying... :) [02:43] Have Ubuntu prperly installed onto USB HD in a way it could be used in any PC that supports booting from USB, as I tried installing it normally and having Grub problems as it searches for bootfiles on (hdX,Y), which varies depending on BIOS [02:44] *and had [02:44] honestly im probably going to live with it just to avoid transferring the data around again === danny__ is now known as fang0654 [02:45] GatunoRox, i had the same problem. it's because the bios marks it as a hd, and then when the machine reboots, the drive is not where it was before. drives me nuts. [02:45] Howdy [02:45] will a knowledgeable person take a few seconds to help me identify how to fix my mute button? led is blue... red when muted. but if system boots as muted... it remains blue. i have a pastebin of my modules [02:45] danno, howdy back pad'ner. how are you today? [02:46] Has anyone else been trying out the 11.04 beta? [02:46] laptop_user, go into the system keyboard shortcuts and make the button mute? [02:46] hylian: good, thanks; yourself? [02:46] hylian: yes. I tried UUID, wich wouldn't solve my problem, tried Grub4DOS, wich couldn't read past 127GB of my HDD, and I don't know a way of booting it through syslinux [02:46] i have joined ubntu! [02:46] danno, there is a dedicated channel for 11.04 #ubuntu+1 [02:46] laptop_user, i can try, although the key here is knowledgeable, and i have a netbook with few buttons.. [02:47] my right clicker is not working on my mouse, how would i access the panel to remove a icon [02:47] sevith, what do u mean... the button works functionally to mute but... on reboot it doesnt stay red [02:47] GatunoRox, i saw a howto once, let me take a quick gander. [02:47] WeThePeople: hover over it and click that menu button on your keyboard [02:47] Seven_Six_Two: Nice; thanks! [02:48] WeThePeople: it's by alt, ctrl, and windows keys [02:48] hylian, like i told sevith, functionally the button works... just doesnt stay red if rebooted and muted [02:48] hylian: I'd really appreciate. I'm trying it for a week. IDK how many Times I've Formatet the MBR so I could try again in another way [02:48] EnigmaticCoder, it doesnt work. [02:49] WeThePeople, are you trying to remove a file or folder from your desktop, or something from your menus? [02:49] laptop_user, i didn't see your older posts, what model is it? === max is now known as Guest67787 [02:50] WeThePeople, sorry, I got it now. the panel... [02:50] hylian: this only tells me a bootloader really need a proper USB access driver so it doesn't depend on BIOS [02:50] hylian: hp dv2000 quick launch buttons. i googled, but could not find much [02:50] ola [02:51] !br | graper [02:51] graper: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[02:52] Is there a way to request a refund from ubuntu one music store? The file I bought has been stuck on the queue for about 25 minutes now. I should have just purchased from Amazon (for cheaper!!) [02:52] http://morlockonzark.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Mac-204682748 [02:52] what does ctrl alt f10 do? [02:53] Which is more practical make xconfig. make gxonfig. or make menuconfig? [02:54] anyone know why /usr/bin/most puts these nasty {^[[K sequences at the end of every line when I use ack-grep? http://pastebin.ca/2045657 [02:54] How to find out which device my raid is? [02:55] WeThePeople, it takes you to a virtual terminal [02:56] GatunoRox, i cant find that blasted page now. i remember i used the -live in my google search. anyways, all is good except for grub rights the data to the wrong device. you can even fix this temporarily by going into the grub commadn area when it first starts. my mind is lost, sorry. [02:56] WeThePeople, I know how to remove something from the panel without right click. I wouldn't say it's the right way, and might leave some mess [02:57] laptop_user, as for the lights thing, man you where right, i cam up with nothing of use. as for where to put your data, i would consider either ubuntu's launchpad or a free google blog. [02:57] whats up room [02:57] wutup michael_ [02:57] how are you [02:57] slother [02:57] !info ubuntu launchpad [02:57] 'launchpad' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, partner, stable, testing, unstable [02:57] good michael_ ur not mktech are you?

Last time I use ubuntu one to buy music. Delivery of a single mp3 should not take over 30 minutes. [02:58] michael_, nothing :D [02:58] hylian, what is launchpad? [02:59] GatunoRox, i take that back, grub rights the data to the right device, but doesn't know it needs to flip the hd2,2 (for instamce to be hd0,0. so when you re boot, grub tries to load from 2,2, which either doesn;t exist, or is just in the wrong spot, i.e. hd 1,1 or hd 0,0 instead of hd 2,2. (this is for my machine and not on everyone's., it will be different for you slightly.) [02:59] FlameTai1, I don't know of an easy way, but if you look for the wallpapers that look like a stack, then find them on your filesystem, you'll also find an xml file nearby that dictates how they change. You can use that as a template [02:59] why for slother [02:59] FlameTai1 take a look at http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/All+Day+Long+(Animated+Wallpaper)?content=83443 for hwo to do it [02:59] Seven_Six_Two, what is it [02:59] you need a tech about something [02:59] is there a way to make gedit open with python syntax highlighting by default [03:00] WeThePeople, run gconf-editor in a terminal. go to apps >> panle [03:00] michael_, Jw. [03:00] panel [03:00] Whats the dev package for qt4? [03:00] how do i find what app is using port 80 ? [03:00] FlameTai1of course! figure out how to change the desktop background using bash and the make a script that starts with your pc that changes it every so often. :) [03:00] laptop_user, launchpad is a place to post bugs and solves for linux distro's (as well as others), and ubuntu has it's own section. [03:00] and then kill it? === ministry[seannig is now known as w0lfsp1d3r [03:00] hi all... I'm trying to settup apache +SSL on ubuntu, is there a decent recommended howto? [03:00] hylian, link? [03:01] bonhoffer, Sure your not surfin the internet? [03:01] WeThePeople, Some things on the panel are applets and some are objects. Use this with caution, because it won't warn you if you do something dumb. [03:01] hylian: really... it's driving me nuts... even my blackbelt googlefu isn't helping... [03:01] oh no i just fiddle wit stuff still in newbe status [03:01] Slother, i am, but i want to set up a new webserver [03:01] brb [03:01] bonhoffer, Your using apache? [03:01] laptop_user launchpad.net [03:01] nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use) [03:02] trying to use nginx [03:02] hylian: worse part is: I'm a total linux noob... started it last week, just before running into this mess [03:02] Seven_Six_Two, KNUBBIG, and DaGeek247 thank you for the suggestions. [03:02] knubbig, fair enough lol [03:02] hehe :) [03:03] hylian: I'd say I've learned more about linux this last week I couldn't have imagined [03:05] I installed a RAID1 on a Ubuntu server but when I type fdisk -l a message says that /dev/md0 doesn't have a valid partition table :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/593385/ [03:05] GatunoRox, and that's just the beginning. Do you want to find out how far down the rabbit hole goes? [03:05] GatunoRox, i found it! http://www.novell.com/communities/node/4536/how-create-external-usb-bootable-linux-hard-drive-without-dual-boot [03:06] Seven_Six_Two: not righ now! Thanks lol! I've had enough of crack for the week xD [03:06] laptop_user, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Flaunchpad.net%2Fubuntu&rct=j&q=ubuntu%20launchpad&ei=DAWlTdH1IYafOpGD0MEJ&usg=AFQjCNHu7mNWAInMcBdkeIC9vPrKt0V6mQ&sig2=hYfdd_z9oaoQg3VdP__qxw&cad=rja [03:06] laptop oops [03:06] laptop_user, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [03:07] Seven_Six_Two, i dont think i can remove a specific icon from the editor [03:07] hylian, login same as ubuntu one or do i need to make one? [03:07] GatunoRox, did you get my link, this was my solve earlier... http://www.novell.com/communities/node/4536/how-create-external-usb-bootable-linux-hard-drive-without-dual-boot [03:07] so i went to the AllDayLong link with the desktop background that changes depending on the time of day. i would like to make this same thing, but with my own pictures. any tutorials or pointers on how to do this? [03:07] laptop_user, i had to make one myself. [03:07] hylian: yeah thanks [03:08] hylian: Checking it right now [03:08] WeThePeople, you can, but it's not always obvious how. A safer option might be to try to use accessibility modes to fake a right click. [03:08] hylian, ok thanks [03:08] UbuntuNoob reading the .xml should be enough (haven't done it for some time, though) [03:08] * hylian 's brain is on liquify [03:08] WeThePeople, or go and get a mouse with more than one button ;) [03:08] lol [03:08] KNUBBIG: could i just change the location of the pictures in the xml to my own pictures and then save it? [03:08] WeThePeople, a mac user? Just kidding. [03:09] UbuntuNoob I think so, just give it a try [03:09] on the other hand, i would rather learn how to write some sort of script in terminal myself [03:09] Than try that, it's entertaining and fun :) [03:09] hylian, a intel user [03:09] Then* (I think :p) [03:09] * hylian likes WeThePeople's response [03:09] hey guys. so i recently restarted my computer and now i get this error when booting ubuntu with grub: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) -- i did some googling and it sounds like it's not selecting my boot partition properly [which is (hd0,2) or /dev/sda2] . however, the grub entry does say "set root='(hd0,2)" . any ideas? === Alix_ is now known as pylix [03:09] hylian: is there a way to boot linux live images from Grub2? [03:10] *I'm already assuming the solution will work xD* [03:10] id like to, but i havent the faintest clue on where to start. i could navegate to the picture i would want to be my first background, second, third, etc, but i dont know how to use terminal to set them as the background or make it so they change at tie intervals [03:10] GatunoRox, yes, though I have never tried it myself. I tried to help a guy the other night with that one. i was to burned out to finish with him. [03:10] using grub 1.9801ubuntu10, lucid [03:11] also, is there a way in terminal to navigate to a subfolder of the folder youre currently in without typing the full path name? === heaviside is now known as Guest69608 [03:11] is it possible to install specific packages on an external drive that is not always mounted? [03:11] xxx [03:11] UbuntuNoob cd foo [03:11] cd bar [03:11] ? [03:11] hylian: if this works I'll call you BFF for freeing me from this royal pain lol [03:11] why [03:11] UbuntuNoob, there are several, but one i like is mc or midnight commander. very usefull for running around your files tructure without typing a million words a minute. [03:11] UbuntuNoob, yes, just start with the next directory down. If you're in /home/myuser and you want to go to /home/myuser/a/b use cd a/b [03:12] UbuntuNoob: sure. lets say I'm in my home directory and I wanted to be in /home/taglass/Documents/spreadsheets.. just type cd Documents/spreadsheets. [03:12] the only reason why I want full install is so that I can update kernel/install drivers [03:12] otherwise I'd stick with liveUSB [03:13] how to change folder background [03:13] GatunoRox, also, ubuntu doesn't come with some key things i needed to stay installed, like flash plugin and java, just for starters. [03:13] UbuntuNoob TAB for autocompletion is also very useful :) [03:13] for instance, from my ~/ folder, i used cd /Pictures to get to pictures. from here i want to go to wallpapers, but without typing cd /Pictures/Wallpapers. how can i get it so i coud just type cd /Wallpapers or something similar? [03:13] GatunoRox, I believe there's a few utilities that will let you roll your own iso from an install, or from a custom filesystem [03:13] Woow! [03:13] UbuntuNoob cd Wallpapers [03:14] UbuntuNoob, drop the leading / that means you want to start from the root of the filesystem [03:14] cd /Wallpapers would try to access the folder Wallpapers on root level [03:14] ohhhh thanks all [03:14] There'sa ctually a way to do that, but I haven't looked at it in years. is path completion [03:14] Seven_Six_Two: please rephrase, IDK if I understood right, sorry [03:14] sec [03:14] ill be back in a little bit to ask more random questions for whoevers up to it [03:14] excuse me, did anyone call MS technology support? [03:15] sorry [03:15] my mistaken [03:15] sorry [03:15] GatunoRox, what he is saying is that you could re-roll your own personal distro, and then just use the live cd install version. it's another solution, although the one your working on, once completed will be less work. [03:15] wrong channel === zupercomputer is now known as ident [03:16] GatunoRox, I've never done it, but there are utilities available from synaptic that will let you create your own live cd. so you get what you need installed in to a special place. whatever kernel you want, and apps. then the utility makes an iso (cd image) that you can burn. It might be harder than that, but you don't have to do it all by hand [03:16] hello all === ident is now known as zupercomputer [03:16] Big_bear, i would be surprised if someone said they did, LOL :) [03:16] what is the best package to simply install git on ubuntu? [03:16] * hylian nods to noobguy. [03:17] !info uck [03:17] uck (source: uck): Tool to customize official Ubuntu Live CDs. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-0ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 194 kB, installed size 672 kB [03:17] someone please help! I am havin troubles installing both eclipse and netbeans [03:17] Seven_Six_Two: Thank's but unfortunately I'm only interested in Live Images so I can test distros, I'd like to maintain my full instalation running portable though [03:18] noobguy, ok, do you have an error message, more details please. [03:18] noobguy Probably someone wants to stop you from making the mistake ans installing netbeans ;-) [03:18] and* [03:18] GatunoRox, oh I see... You could test them in a vm easily enough, unless you need to test hardware interaction specifically [03:19] GatunoRox, yeah, virtual box could do it. I use it like that all the time. [03:19] why does skype disappear when i log in [03:19] I have multiple PC's at home, so I can test multi-case scenarios [03:19] noobguy, please give more details, thanks. :) [03:19] WeThePeople maybe it automatically minimizes? [03:20] lucky bugger. [03:20] GatunoRox, hey, I've never thought of that...That's a good idea. No more burining discs just to try it out [03:20] UbuntuNoob: the CDPATH environment variable is what you are looking for to change directories. [03:20] I own 7 pcs, which gives me a good scenario base, as I have multiple desktops , 2 notebooks and a netbook [03:20] KNUBBIG, its not in the upper panel or the lower panel [03:20] WeThePeople look if its still running via ps aux | grep skype [03:21] GatunoRox, i tipmy hat to thee. I have 2 pc's and a netbook, and I thought I was excessive :P LOL [03:21] interestingly, almost all with different BIOS manufacturers [03:22] I'm 17, currently living with parents and sister, so I have acces to all, not necessarily all of them are mine [03:22] noobguy, hello? [03:22] I just own the note, net and a Desktop [03:22] KNUBBIG, skype showed up in red [03:22] alright, so i got a little further. so i'm trying to boot but for some reason, the kernel isn't recognizing my partitions... it says "Please append a correct 'root=' boot option; here are the available partitions:" and then doesn't give a list of partitions... like it's not realizing there are any partitions. any idea? [03:22] WeThePeople so it's still running hum [03:24] KNUBBIG, sudo ps aux | grep skype pm 1665 0.0 0.2 3320 804 pts/0 S+ 22:21 0:00 grep --color=auto skype [03:24] WeThePeople so it's not running :) [03:24] Hey all, is anyone here good in configuring lighty? God am I having troubles.. [03:24] * hylian thinks someone likes the constitution preamble. [03:24] start Skype in terminal via skype and look for the output [03:24] there should be an error message [03:25] Anyone? [03:25] KNUBBIG, command? [03:25] SPEL3O, sorry man, don't even know what lighty is, wish i had better news for ya. [03:25] skype [03:25] :p [03:25] hylian haha that's exactly what I thought :D [03:26] SPEL3O, what do you mean by "lighty"? [03:26] i just tried to install libcortado-java again using synaptic package manager and it says E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libasm3-java_3.2-3ubuntu1_all.deb: subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 [03:26] When loaded from USB, Grub2 inherits the BIOS limitations of only accessing the first 127GB of the drive? [03:26] Lighty as in lighttpd the http server [03:26] noobguy, give me a sec to look that up... === Nick is now known as Guest37638 [03:27] ok hylian [03:27] KNUBBIG, no error, the login window poped up, 'i didnt type a thing' and it closed [03:27] now you will get some help, i don't have experience in that. :( [03:27] I had it configured and everything, then I installed php and mySQL and had to mess with the conf file and my site went KABLOOEY [03:27] WeThePeople And there's nothing in the console? [03:27] Anyone have a http server to suggest? [03:27] you didn't have a backup? [03:27] KNUBBIG, no [03:28] SPEL3O, have you tried apache? === Guest37638 is now known as NickF [03:28] HyperShock, nope, is it easy to configure? [03:28] WeThePeople If not, I don't know anything you could do...possibly try pidgin with the skype plugin just to try it, but ni, sorry [03:28] KNUBBIG, it says aborted [03:28] noobguy, you have broken packages. nothing to get worried about, do you know the terminal/console well? [03:28] SPEL3O, I use apache2. A basic config isn't too difficult. [03:28] a little hylian [03:29] but i can manage... i guess [03:29] hi guys im getting this error The following packages have unmet dependencies: [03:29] noobguy, ok, type this into terminal: sudo apt-get install -f (it will ask for your password most likely) [03:29] and i cant install or remove software because of it [03:29] purge dont work [03:29] ok [03:29] Nick_Meister try sudo apt-get install -f [03:29] KNUBBIG, doesnt help [03:29] oh [03:29] its trying to overwrite some libraries [03:29] from a previous version or something [03:30] computer janitor helped me when i had this issue once [03:30] but its not install [03:30] ed [03:30] Nick_Meister, i had this problem, i had to first remove the offending package from /var/cache/apt/archives then i did an update. [03:30] and neither is synaptic [03:30] k done . it replies : Reading package lists... Done [03:30] Building dependency tree [03:30] Reading state information... Done [03:30] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [03:30] linux-headers-2.6.35-22 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic [03:30] Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

[03:30] hylian, how do i find what to remove [03:31] noobguy, ok, now attempt to do what didn't work before. [03:31] is there a way to log what happens when a button is pressed? specifically, the mute button.. it has a led in it and when muted, turns red [03:31] i just downloaded i2p how do i start it? [03:32] Nick_Meister, well, if you run synaptic, or do what KNUBBIG said, you should see an error message with your problem package [03:32] hello [03:32] Has anybody had random reboot problems with Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 64-bit? [03:32] it says : libcortado-java is already the newest version. .. is it working then.. ?? ! [03:32] looking for help with mod_rewrite in apache [03:32] can anyone help [03:32] looking for help with mod_rewrite in apache [03:33] noobguy, it shure sounds like it. [03:33] anyone? [03:33] NickF, not at all. [03:33] hylian: Great... now my pc hangs after selecting the device, it flahes a type dash and stops, ot loading grub at all [03:34] GatunoRox, great, just let me smash my head into my desk, and we can continue... [03:34] hylian: Thanks. Two different systems in two different buildings, both have random reboots. Was hoping it was systemic. [03:34] hylian ... :) let me install netbeans then [03:34] xD [03:34] thanks hylian !! See you soon :) [03:34] noobguy, great to be of some help. [03:35] 32-bit is rock-solid. 64-bit gives random reboots [03:35] I only get it to boot if I set my HDD to force FDD, but then it say no such device followed by UUID [03:35] hylian, ok so i removed the debs but it did not help anything :( [03:35] ls [03:35] NickF, all i can tell you is that my, rather older 64 bit hardware runs like a champ. maybe it's because you have different/not ancient hardware. LOL [03:35] GatunoRox, why are using a FDD? [03:36] laptop_user, xev [03:36] anyone know anything about i2p on ubuntu? [03:36] hylian, well what happened was i added a repository with a newer package to the apt-get and then tried to do an install but forgetting to run update, and somehow the two packages got mixed === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [03:36] and now im in this situation :( [03:37] hylian: Could be! Both brand new quad-core processors. Diff mbrds, both 8G, two different cases (power supplies)... not running anything that's not in the repositories (except Chrome) [03:37] Nick_Meister, now you will have to a) run sudo apt-get install -f, and then perhaps run a fix for dpkg, and then try and re-install whatever you where trying to install. [03:37] HyperShock: I'm not, I'm tryint to boot from my USB HDD [03:37] rumpe1, thanks... i think i figured out a solution.... ledd (scriptable led manager)... how to use xev? [03:37] but the only way I get a response from it now is when I use Bios to Force FDD on it [03:37] how i start I2p? [03:37] hylian, well it doesnt work [03:37] hydh, install -f fails [03:38] okay im back. i located my pictures in terminal and i want to set one of them as the background. how can i do that through terminal? [03:38] !info xev [03:38] Package xev does not exist in maverick [03:38] GatunoRox, it sounds like in your attempt to get your usb to work, you somehow wrote to the internal hd's boot sector... i yiy yiy.

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libasm3-java_3.2-3ubuntu1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [03:38] Nick_Meister, so what error does it give you? i have had to go as far as actually changing a log file... [03:38] UbuntuNoob, the background of what? [03:39] my desktop background (wallpaper) [03:39] hylian, trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_OctreeSceneManager.so', which is also in package libogremain-1.6.4 0:1.6.4.dfsg1-1 [03:39] You can do that in Gnome settings [03:39] noobguy, let me see what i can find out about on that error.

[03:39] anon__: /join #i2p [03:40] thats the error giving me quite a headache from the beginning [03:40] what i want to do is learn how to change the wallpaper at a given time, like this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=83443 [03:40] but i want to use my own pictures and make my own commands/script [03:41] UbuntuNoob, are you sayhing you want to make your own desktop background slideshow? [03:41] HyperShock: basically. the thing i linked changes the wallpaper based on the time of day, which is essentially a very slow slideshow [03:42] hold that thought, i need to reboot [03:42] UbuntuNoob, well that sounds feasable, but you need to find where Gnome stores the image for your backround, and make a script that swaps out the images periodically [03:42] Personally, I do not know [03:43] hylian: not quite. the internal's good === KurtBwithkids is now known as KurtBout [03:43] hylian, so any luck? [03:43] Nick_Meister, "into /var/lib/dpkg/info and deleting everything that had that name and you may also have to go into /var/cache/apt/archives and do the same thing" [03:43] It's just unable to load grub === WhatToDo is now known as UbuntuNoob [03:43] okay im back [03:44] Nick_Meister, oops, somehow i only copied part of that, did you getb the gist? [03:44] hylian can i send you full error log ?? [03:44] like it's stuck [03:44] It won't boot Grub [03:44] hylian, yah it worked like a charm thanks [03:45] noobguy, your problem somehow is still broken packages, i would fire up synaptic, and have it do a rfepair on broken packages and see what it gives youy for idea/errors. [03:45] but was able to boot syslinux [03:45] so yeah i guess my question would be how do i go about making a wallpaper slideshow via some sort of script [03:45] that's why I asked if tere was a way to use syslinux as the bootloader [03:45] Just don't use netbeans :p The code it produces is ... well just terribly ugly [03:46] laptop_user, sorry man, beetween my crazyness here and my roommate mumbling something incoherently, i lost you in the process :( [03:46] syslinux was able to acces my whole drive, grub looks like it can't [03:46] hylian, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/ledd.8.html potential solution for leds... opinion? [03:46] noobguy, sorry, i somehow lost your request, i yiy yiy. [03:46] no worries [03:46] i can send it [03:47] again [03:47] To solve all manner of grub problems in dual booting windows, I've used "Smart Boot Manager" available as an image on UNetbootin, home page http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html - I think it's awesome. [03:48] I'm having trouble using chown. Terminal keeps telling me I'm missing an operand after the directory I'm targeting...

[03:49] ggg3: lol [03:49] chown username file file file [03:49] it's chown username:group file [03:49] I've got a folder called "src" in my home directory and i just wanna make sure its writable by my primary acct [03:49] KNUBBIG: didnt realize i need usernam [03:50] lemme try again [03:50] luxurymode: chmod -R you /home/you/src [03:51] edbian: chown not chmod [03:51] raido: right-o [03:51] lol [03:51] chowdown ll [03:51] sudo chown levi /home/levi seems to have worked [03:51] lol [03:51] wait whoops, needed /src [03:51] lemme see [03:51] laptop_user, well that article seems to point to possible solutions, but heck if i know what they are. maybe the led states are being read wrong? [03:52] when i try home/levi/src it says no such file or dir [03:53] cd ~/src ? [03:53] hylian any idea? [03:53] hylian: link please (your keyboard right?) [03:53] noobguy, sorry man. ok from what i pieced together, it looks like you recieved a package that is damaged. you may have to go to /var/cache/apt/archives and remove the package, as well as removing it from /var/lib/dpkg/info, however, if this is somehow being caused by a bad net connection, like a damaged wire, it may happen all over again. [03:54] luxurymode: primary acct? more than one? [03:54] laptop_user: can you show me the link to the article? [03:54] rhizmoe: no [03:54] hylian: i think i need to add a line that will say something along the lines of "if boot audio muted then write led state red" i know thats not the true command but in translation... [03:54] so, your home dir has a subdirectory named "src?" what KNUBBIG said. [03:54] laptop_user: Can you show me the link to the how to you're following? [03:55] laptop_user, yes i think so. i hope your a better scripter than i. [03:55] edbian, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/ledd.8.html potential solution for leds... opinion? [03:55] * hylian 's head is spinning. [03:55] hylian, in basic lol yeah [03:55] laptop_user: reading :) [03:55] * KNUBBIG 's, too, 5 am here. [03:56] ultimately, i just wanna install a program that i have the source for [03:56] GatunoRox, have you had any luck, i was inendated with requests.. i think i lost you in translation. === user_ is now known as awxsf [03:56] Ok I'll try that one myself hylian :) Thanks a lot for this grand help hylian [03:56] laptop_user, just remember to chmod a+x the file you make. sucks when your script wont run because you don't "own" it. [03:57] laptop_user: I doubt that this program is going to let you affect anything other than numlock capslock and scrolllock [03:57] if i leave laptop on over nite will the screen turn itsself off? [03:57] edbian, also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [03:57] noobguy, i hope it helps, as for being grand, my kind of computer repair is less than pretty, usually functional, but not so pretty. [03:57] hylian: nah... same regular problems... [03:57] hylian, also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [03:57] rhizmoe: im confused. i need some hand holding. how do i chown /src? [03:57] hylian, no doubt lol [03:58] hylian: trying to find a way to boot without grub [03:58] hi, when I insert an usb stick, I don't get the block device /dev/sda. what do I have to add on my own kernelconfig? [03:58] luxurymode sudo chown -R levy:levy ~/src [03:58] edbian, thanks man. I have been a little swamped. edbian is the best peeps, he's got the brains. [03:58] hahaha [03:58] thanks [03:58] What do I type in the terminal to un-mount a partition? [03:58] KNUBBIG: that worked [03:58] thanks [03:59] np :) [03:59] hylian: Grub isn't reacting well with my BIOS lol [03:59] danielcg25: sudo umount /partition [03:59] danielcg25, sudo umount /whereverismounted [03:59] Thanks [03:59] ok I'm going to bed, thanks for your help, I'll try the alternate install cd tomorrow, g'nite all [03:59] laptop_user: This is the guide you want IMO https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [03:59] Sudo: unmount: command not found [04:00] GatunoRox, my way of doing it was to use a program called gag. then i set up one of the boot time options to the usb hdd. however, gag adds a cutesy menu system in the begiining that resembles win 98 on roids. maybe boot commander is more your style. i use gag because i know gag in and out. [04:00] danielcg25: There is no 'n' it's umount not unmount [04:00] Oh [04:01] laptop_user: Try and follow that and see if you get stuck. Come back here with specific questions [04:01] Thanks! It's working now [04:01] GatunoRox, well, i may atleast be able to get grub behaving itself for the internal hdd. if you remove the usb drive, then you should be able to boot? (then use update grub?) [04:01] danielcg25: no problem [04:01] edbian, also found http://linux.aldeby.org/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops.html/#index [04:01] edbian, wish i woulda found WAAAYYY earlier lol [04:02] edbian, how to use xev? [04:02] laptop_user: I like the first howto better. [04:02] Is there a channel for 11.04 discussion? [04:02] * hylian vows to try and answer only one question at a time, because he thought his head was gonna explode. [04:02] cbilljones, #ubuntu+1 [04:02] rumpej thanks [04:03] rumpel ^^ [04:03] laptop_user: xev in a terminal. Then press the buttons you wanna know about and you can see what their special codes are in the term. It also tracks the mouse in the white window [04:03] how u upgrade to 11 bet? [04:03] hylian: I know the feeling hahaha [04:03] edbian; the troubleshooting? thats a child howto from the second link. with xev, do i press enter first or just xev then the button? [04:04] laptop_user: you type xev and press enter. Now it is 'running' and it records all your mouse / keyboard activity. then you press ctrl + C to stop it. It is used to get the numerical values of strange keys and buttons. [04:04] well, all this research shaprens my ubuntu-fu. *ugh* [04:04] how you upgrade to 11.beta? [04:04] Hey, is there a CLI based wireless card config tool installed by default on ubuntu? [04:04] wow "xev" rocks! [04:05] edbian, thanks again [04:05] laptop_user: you might have to click in the white box before some keys get registered [04:05] cheshire_fox: THere are a number of tools. What exactly are you trying to do? [04:05] xev is cool [04:06] cheshire_fox, not that i know of [04:06] codex84 [04:06] oops [04:06] lol [04:07] codex84, this is a howto on that very subject: http://zeeis.me/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-04/ [04:07] try to upgrade to 11.beta on the update manager but is not there [04:07] edbian: I was given a HP laptop that vista died on. Decided to install Ubuntu on it. Turns out the nvidia chip is fried (it's to late to do a claim), so I'm going to use it as a server. [04:07] can someone tell me the easiest way to install from source? i've downloaded a chat client (smack) and wanna install... [04:07] Is there something similar to \n (new line) but for backspace? [04:08] I'm going nuts with this lol xD [04:08] cheshire_fox: sudo iwlist scan should show you wireless networks. If it does you're in good shape and you can configure it in /etc/network/interfaces. If it does not list networks you have to get the card to work first (which might be hard) [04:08] codex84: I don't think you can upgrade to the beta from a normal release [04:08] joelixny: \b, i believe [04:08] almost giving up with the full installation Idea [04:08] edbian: card works, I'm sure of it [04:08] joelixny: No [04:08] GatunoRox, anything else i can help wreck? sorry man. i can try and help... [04:09] cheshire_fox: iwconfig [04:09] ayecee: What would that do? Delete the character before it when the file is read? [04:09] Well, I formatted the partition using DiskUtility in Ubuntu, and Windows installer says it's un-allocated space. [04:09] cheshire_fox: It works in linux? [04:09] edbian: yes [04:09] neat! [04:09] edbian:yup, out of the box [04:09] joelixny: nevermind! [04:09] hylian: you're the best support I've had this week xD, no complains [04:09] cheshire_fox: then is iwconfig and sudo iwlist scan, and sudo ifup wlan0 and a number of others :) [04:10] GatunoRox, if it helps any, simply mepis comes with firfox and most of what ubuntu offers, and has flahs plugin and java pre installed. [04:10] cheshire_fox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [04:10] hylian: blasphemy! [04:10] * hylian lowers his head in shame :P [04:10] j/k j/k [04:10] mepis? [04:10] \b doesn't work :\ [04:10] GatunoRox: It's a different linux distro [04:10] while I'm here, does anyone know of a way to get X to run soly on the processor. [04:10] *distro noob here lol* [04:10] joelixny: Are you writing it to a file? [04:11] yes [04:11] a php script [04:11] GatunoRox, yeah, it's what i use for my clients sticks because he needs flash player to work "outta da box" (i'm form wisconsin) [04:11] cheshire_fox: The graphics card has a monitor out. If the motherboard has a monitor out then you can plug that in but I'm guessing that since this is a laptop there is no onboard video. That is, you HAVE to use the graphics card in there [04:12] edbian; http://pastebin.com/p3115PJa line 1 is mute 11 is unmute no other buttons touched [04:12] cheshire_fox: Just run it headless. You can install graphical applications and run them remotely on some other Ubuntu computer [04:12] hylian: no use telling me where ya from xD I wouldn't suspect as I'm not a native speaker [04:12] laptop_user: This isn't a question :) [04:12] GatunoRox, in his case he needs a system that loses all history, i think he does some shady things whilst running that usb key. [04:13] edbian, so i need to tell the computer that if muted to send command 1-10. how? [04:13] hylian: you never know xD [04:13] laptop_user: I don't know. Where are you in the how-to ? [04:13] edbian, i mean if muted upon boot [04:13] laptop_user: I've never done this before either :) [04:13] GatunoRox, yeah, so once simply mepis is powered down, all naughty-ness dissapears, atleast on his end. [04:13] hide his p0rn from his wife maybe? [04:13] edbian, glad to help with the learning curve ;) [04:13] edbian: well, for a while I had a desktop. That was immediatly after uninstalling the nouveau driver. I had a feeling it was running on the processor. But I'm not sure. I just want a graphical interface just to make sure certain website interfaces this server will be producing actually work [04:14] * hylian nods [04:14] laptop_user: I don't see a 10 here [04:14] hylian: I read mepis as 'me ****' :o [04:14] cheshire_fox, :) [04:15] reminds me of how the germans feal about mr. pibb. [04:15] cheshire_fox: Some hardware has to run the graphics. Either it's on the motherboard or it's a graphics card. Each bit of hardware will have a VGA / DVI out at least. Since this is a laptop and it has a graphics card I'm betting there is no onboard video. This means you MUST use the graphics card. Unless you x-forward over ssh. I do it all the time. [04:15] edbian, lines 1-10 is all mute (one single press of button), 11-20 is all unmute (one single press of button) [04:16] hylian: what's the newest release? [04:16] edbian: then explain to me how I was able to have a graphical interface [04:16] laptop_user: Let me read your guide. Maybe we can figure out how to toggle the light without changing the muted-ness [04:16] cheshire_fox: The card was not fried? [04:17] cheshire_fox: You can run the graphics all 'on the CPU' what you're really doing is using onboard video (on the motherboard). [04:17] GatunoRox, mepis is at 8, but "simply mepis" is at 11. i use simply because it comes with the software my client needs. [04:17] can i make an if then script involving a period of time (i want a certain background to appear during certain times) [04:17] edbian: it has to be. Even with the propritary drivers installed all I would get when x started using it is black and white lines and a weird kernel panic === Jens is now known as Guest92398 [04:18] edbian, which guide? the one on linux.aldeby.org? [04:18] cheshire_fox: That could be caused by the graphics card being bad or the driver being wrong. (sounds like a bad card though if you didn't even get cli) [04:18] UbuntuNoob, i think i get what your trying to do, but i don't think it would be a if then anymore... just bash scripting it? [04:18] laptop_user: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [04:18] laptop_user: But I am swamped right now ;P [04:19] hylian: i have no clue what im doing to be honest lol how would i do it that way? [04:19] edbian; no worries.... we will pick up tomorrow. i have a test in the a.m. [04:19] UbuntuNoob, sorry man, my bash scripting skills are just a hair above the noobish. i could probably look it up, but i don't know of the top of my head. [04:19] laptop_user: alright. Good night. [04:20] cheshire_fox: Maybe you can explain to me in greater deal what is going on with this laptop. [04:20] hylian: ill look it up no worries [04:20] edbian: actually, after removing nouveau, x probably (by default) loaded vesa, right? In that case the graphics card isn't completely fried (meaning I can use it unaccelerated). [04:20] OH UNITY, MY HEART YEARNS FOR THEE!!! [04:20] edbian: where should I begin? [04:20] Is CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ enabled in the default kernel compile with Ubuntu? [04:21] cheshire_fox: If you got graphics running on the card at all (accelerated or not) then the card is fine and we just have to find the right driver. (or just use Ubuntu without accelerated graphics. [04:21] UbuntuNoob: i scripted it for you, cuz you're special :) [04:21] hola edbian [04:21] cheshire_fox: What do you want to do? What state is the laptop in right now? Can you turn it on and log in. [04:21] hiexpo: Hi :) [04:21] edbian: I can log in (its actually sitting under the one I'm on right now, which is a netbook) [04:22] Does the 2.6.38 kernel have support for Intel core i5 vpro? [04:22] cheshire_fox: graphical login or cli? [04:22] edbian: I was orginally hoping to make it my primary machine, as playing minecraft on a netbook is painful, like running vista on 384 megs of ram. [04:22] edbian: cli [04:22] cheshire_fox: And you've seen graphics running on this machine before? [04:22] yes. [04:22] cheshire_fox: So the card is not physically ruined. [04:22] ejv: thanks? i have no clue how to even start this but my whole goal was to learn along the way as to what im doing [04:22] MK`, yes. [04:23] UbuntuNoob: try this: http://dpaste.com/531497/ [04:23] cheshire_fox: First thing first. log in and run sudo lsmod | grep n [04:23] fuck ass [04:23] edbian: give me a second [04:23] cheshire_fox: That will list all the modules currently running on the system that have an 'n' in the name [04:23] UbuntuNoob: if you use Vixie-Cron to call this script every 5 or 10 minutes, you'll be good to go ;) [04:23] edbian: I have limited deskspace [04:23] !language | tony__ [04:23] edbian, just made a fix to the yahoo pop3 block :) [04:23] tony__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:23] Does the 2.6.38 kernel have support for Intel core i5 vpro? [04:23] tony__, come on man, this is a family friendly chat room... tone it down will ya? [04:23] cheshire_fox: You can just tell me what they are. Do NOT copy / paste them all in to the channel [04:23] hiexpo: What did you fix? [04:23] yeah [04:23] edbian: that would be impossible, as I am currently on another machine :D [04:24] MK`, CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is enabled by default [04:24] cheshire_fox: oh good [04:24] Ok thank you hylian [04:24] yes [04:24] hi [04:24] tony__, thanks man. [04:24] hi [04:24] who got the 11 [04:24] beta? [04:24] cheshire_fox: btw, sudo is not needed for that last command [04:24] edbian, made it so you can retrieve email from yahoo account with evolution , or Thunderbird [04:25] UbuntuNoob: there's nothing wrong with learning by reading ;) [04:25] hiexpo: awesome! :) [04:25] !11.04 | codex84 [04:25] codex84: 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 currently intended for production systems. [04:25] * cheshire_fox thinks there should be a magic program made so she can copy something on one machine and paste it to any machine of her choice >:D [04:25] ok... let's call it a day [04:25] My soul's crushed [04:25] cheshire_fox: That would be neat :) [04:25] * cheshire_fox would totally start pasting the word 'penis' to the pope's computer [04:25] i really need to sleep [04:25] GatunoRox, hope you have better luck tommorrow. bye [04:26] all this time i thought cheshire was a guy, what is wrong with me... [04:26] * ejv facepalms [04:26] cheshire_fox: you know of scp right :p [04:26] * edbian is sure the pope has an AWESOME computer. Probably with it's own hat. [04:26] gonna post a tut by tomorrow somewhere notsure where i am gonna post it yet i know not ubuntu forums lol [04:26] cheshire_fox: pastebinit (the package) [04:26] hiexpo, you should ubuntu launchpad it man. [04:26] hylian: Thanks for the support, if I make it work, I'll try and report it. G' night fellas o/ [04:27] GatunoRox, cool beans dude. [04:27] cheshire_fox: It's taking you a long time to run one command and read what it says. Is there a lot of output? [04:27] thats useful it I want to post something to pastebin. [04:27] UbuntuNoob: verdict? :p [04:27] Also, no, I'm way to add [04:27] cheshire_fox: If it was on pastebin I could read it.. [04:27] ejv: alright i see what it does, but my goal was to have somewhere around 4 pictures that would change depending on the time of day (a light one for morning, bright one for noon, sarker of afternoon, and dark for evening) [04:27] fjv: and i also have no clue what any of it says haha [04:27] and yes, there is a lot of output [04:28] hello guys, i cannot find anywhere that has mod_security for apache for hardy 8.04 ubuntu? someone could help me out? [04:28] hylian, no way man i got kicked out last year for posting a fix for youtube-dl in the forums and i am still not allowed in there and the sad thing is they told me youtube-dl was illegal > but it is in the repos lol [04:28] edbian: if I could configure the wireless card to connect to my network first, I could paste it to pastebin :D [04:28] cheshire_fox: I tried to filter some with the grep perhaps I didn't filter enough [04:28] UbuntuNoob: you could cron 4 scripts, one for each [04:28] Somone please? my current kernel config is defined as pentium-pro but im using an i5? is this right? Is there no support? Im confused. [04:28] cheshire_fox: good point [04:28] UbuntuNoob: and have 4 folders for each [04:28] well peeps, my brain is a liquified mush-sickle. See you all tommorrow.

[04:29] ejv: the easiest option here is overwrite the xml file i have downloaded with a prearranged set of pictures, and set the filepaths to the pictures i want, but theres too many timeslots [04:29] ejv: It's not exactly like common for there to be a linux chick on here. [04:29] cheshire_fox: yea i mean 've seen you chat before and didn't catch it heheh === sadsa is now known as FastPutty [04:29] * ejv bows [04:29] cheshire_fox: I want to see the output of that command.

[04:30] before I even type anything [04:30] cheshire_fox: Do this: sudo lsmod | grep nouveau (think I spelled it right) [04:30] edbian: I uninstalled it, so it shouldn't be running. [04:30] nope [04:30] cheshire_fox: sudo lsmod | grep vesa [04:31] cheshire_fox: vesa? [04:31] nope on vesa as well [04:31] cheshire_fox: Well what the heck is it? sudo lsmod | grep nvidia [04:31] thats it [04:32] ejv: what i had planned to do was just have some sort of if then where the if would be a certain period of time and the then would be the picture i wanted 4 separate times [04:32] :( [04:32] cheshire_fox: that's the proprietary one. I bet if you install noueavou it will work again [04:32] cheshire_fox: What do you say? [04:32] Anyone Anyone :(... [04:32] edbian: orginally thats what was installed [04:32] cheshire_fox: And that worked or... ?

I've downloaded the v4l-dvb tree and I really only need two of the modules in it. Is there a way to just compile those modules? Normally I wouldnt care, but it takes AGES to compile modules on an acer revo [05:28] What command can I use to get a list of key symbols (the ones xev and xmodmap use) [05:28] MK`: There's a keysym header in /usr/include/X11/ IIRC [05:29] ruan: alright i downloaded it, browsed to the iso, opened it and selected burn but it doesnt do anything.. [05:30] I don't see one soreau [05:31] creating 5.1 output in ubuntu [05:33] Heylookitsbret: odd. try acetoneiso then === soreau_ is now known as soreau [05:34] Best software for burning playable DVD disks in Ubuntu - go [05:35] !best | demonspork [05:35] demonspork: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

You're not compiling the compiler [05:51] MK`: You're really trying my patience [05:51] and I don't have any left [05:51] hmm, I don't find natty stable at all in beta so wish to install ubuntu 10.10 as my desktop.. but I think I'll start with lubuntu but oint is, I wish to build up a buntu with pure compiz and not gnome on top of it (except some of it's components)... what would be best, building it from lubuntu vis a vis with lxde, ubuntu server and adding the head.. or removing gnome components from the normal ubuntu? [05:51] arquebus: i definitely have the jdk, im using java all the time... [05:51] Seven_Six_Two: right. so what does it mean? [05:51] I'm sorry soreau :( I'll just drop it and get help elsewhere on this issue [05:51] then have a coffee and let someone else interact instead of whinging soreau ;p [05:52] is that the exact error, or your interpretation? Are you using an IDE or compiling by hand? [05:52] MK`: If you can't read english, I feel sorry for you [05:52] I hate when , asking for help one is treated like a criminal MK`: I feel ya ;) [05:52] Seven_Six_Two: i was using ant to build after i applied a patch [05:52] soreau there's no need to insult me, I am dropping it. [05:52] MK`: Don't drop it, just open your eyes and read [05:52] MK`: /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h is provided by x11proto-core-dev and remove the XK_ from each entry [05:53] Seven_Six_Two: lemme paste it [05:53] perhaps, people aren't English speaking soreau: it takes only an example of Amercian English to exemplify someone who doesn't know English but yet can communicate in it, imagine the 200 other languages and counting ^^ [05:53] luxurymode, unfortunately I have never used ant.

I have a command that works for converting, but how can I do it in batch? [05:55] MK`: Maybe it's not the best place if you're not willing to READ responses you get [05:55] so if I wish to use pure compiz onubuntu, what is best: getting the headless server, or uninstalling ubuntu-desktop or gnome or whatnot? [05:55] converted? how? you mean chang suffix or something? [05:55] God forbid I get confused for a moment when asking about something I came here because i was confused about something.

[06:28] chipmenk, that's not enough information... how far does it get? [06:29] five dots changing red to white [06:29] chipmenk, there are a few reasons. did you md5sum the iso? did you check the disc for defects? [06:30] i wanted to ask [06:30] which ubuntuversion to install [06:30] defect check in process [06:30] chipmenk, during the boot, hit F12 (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) after you get through grub [06:30] md5sum process unknown to me [06:30] Guest3577, that's a matter of personal choice. either 10.04 (LTS) or 10.10 [06:31] I used to be able to move my windows off screen up, but for some reason I can't. Is there a setting to enable this? [06:31] chipmenk, in a console, type md5sum ubuntu-whateverversionyouhave.iso and wait for the output (a long string) [06:32] ah Sweet running on a new kernel :) [06:32] chipmenk, then compare it to the md5 sum listed on the ubuntu site for that image [06:32] okay... @ Seven_Six_Two i ordered two CDs... Ubuntu 10.10 KDE and gnome.. the question is should i download 10.04 ? [06:34] Guest3577, you can. the point of LTS versions is to give people a choice who want to stay on the same version and still get updates. Servers and businesses need that kind of thing. If you're playing around and learning, it doesn't matter. [06:34] Uhm ... [06:34] alt f7 used to let me drag windows that were too big to see up, but for some reason the top of my screen is the far it will let it go these days. It is really annoying. [06:35] process:508 GLob Warning getpwiuid failed due to unknown user id inable to open /dev/sda [06:35] Guest3577, my point is, if you're going to download, you might as well get the latest non-beta available. 10.10 [06:35] it is on my productive machine @ Seven_Six_Two but i musnt go on the same version [06:35] hot to install ttf-me-quran on my system [06:35] maverick meerkat [06:36] i can upgrade to 11.04 no problem... :) [06:36] i think used that dvd to install on this computer [06:36] in 5 moths or so .. [06:36] chipmenk, cool [06:37] hello [06:37] howdy [06:37] and should i use GNOME or KDE ?? normally i like gnome more ... but there is nodifference [06:37] jfc buffer i/o errors what is dev sr0 [06:37] Gnome [06:37] ok [06:37] dann danke .. [06:37] then thanks [06:37] i meant no german :D [06:37] Guest3577, again, personal choice. there are fans of each, some of both. some of none too [06:37] yes [06:38] Seven_Six_Two, Which do you use? :P [06:38] sevith, I have both installed. I used to use kde when it was 3.* but I didn't like plasma when it first started, so now I use gnome [06:38] I think KDE is performs better, in my opinion. [06:39] noo kde is performs slower [06:39] i think that's clear :D [06:39] Not on a Nintendo Wii, xD [06:39] Seven_Six_Two, Yeah. I hear ya. KDE was good when they didnt go with a vista ish feel.. [06:40] the problem is [06:40] i dont want go to Unity later ... [06:40] Believe it or not I actually managed to run KDE on a modded Wii. GNOME was a different story... [06:40] sevith, yeah. It's a good concept, but was too new when ubuntu replaced 3.* in my opinion. It was too rough [06:40] can i ask when the official date release for 11.04? [06:40] so the thing is [06:40] cant wait [06:40] yuly, 29.april [06:40] Guest3577, you don't have to. It's always your choice. If you want you can use blackbox, TWM, sawfish, whatever you want. [06:40] there is a packages witch pop up a console when you hit F12, what is the name of that console? [06:41] !natty | yuskhanzab [06:41] yuskhanzab: 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 currently intended for production systems. [06:41] But anyway, KDE has more user-friendly features. GNOME is better if you like your CLI stuff. [06:41] Seven_Six_Two, Yeah lol. [06:41] Seven_Six_Two, i want use gnome. not unity... but i heard in ubuntu 11.10 there isnt a possibility to use gnome ? [06:41] :( [06:41] 28, thx :) [06:41] shaneomack91, sorry, but that doesn't make sense to me. they're both gui. they both give nice access to cli [06:42] marcekc: kde- yakuake other yeah console [06:42] Guest3577, no, you'll be able to use gnome. it's just the default. Not a decree. [06:42] ok [06:42] food, I use yakuake. I LOVE it [06:42] Seven_Six_Two I know both do. But a lot more configuration and various system operations must be done via CLI with GNOME, whereas KDE has more graphical controls [06:42] food, :)) =)) thank you [06:43] seven_six_two: me too but i also like yeahconsole too [06:43] food, I love how yakuake will open on whatever monitor my mouse is on (dual head!) [06:43] when you have more than one desktop environment installed, at what part of boot do you select them? before login or at the login screen? [06:43] Seven_Six_Two An example, joystick calibration, isn't even installed by default on GNOME Ubuntu. On Kubuntu, there is a nice graphical config page in the System Settings. [06:44] wth uses joysticks? [06:44] actually, I have found that there are quite a few more apps than I expected to realize I have 2 monitors and either adjust accordingly, or give me options [06:44] Speaking of multiple monitors, that's another place where KDE works better. [06:44] Seven_Six_two: i hate using a mouse, i prefer a keyboard only experience [06:44] shaneomack91, then your bane is my boon. I wouldn't want that installed by default... ;) [06:45] That's the main reason I am using KDE, because I often hook up to the TV and with GNOME, my panel icons got messed up a lot. [06:45] food, oh, you're on of *those*... ;) [06:45] Anyway, joystick calibration was just one example. I use it for playing Mario Kart 64 with a steering wheel :P [06:45] Seven_Six_Two: mouse is slow and a keyboard is fast [06:45] ubuntu 11.10 will not ship with gnome? [06:45] shaneomack91, I have dual head and a tv, but it's good for me. nvidia though.... and I found xinerama made it bad for me [06:46] MarcelC really ???? [06:46] Seven_Six_Two, do ou use gnome too? [06:46] MarcelC: no it will ship with gnome [06:46] food, only if your brain works faster than your eyes [06:46] I am asking Guest3577 [06:46] Marcel: unity is gnome [06:46] I use gnome. yes. It's not the default setup, but it's still gnome [06:46] Marcel: correct unity is a shell of gnome [06:46] ok [06:47] I'm not biased towards any specific DE, I'm just saying why I personally use KDE currently. GNOME would be better if it wasn't for a few flaws that annoy me.. [06:47] shanemack91: try liunux flame wars lol [06:47] shanemack91: linus i mean [06:47] food, I'm not a flame-war person :) [06:47] shaneomack91, they all have flaws. [06:48] Seven_Six_Two, Gnome is super !!!! [06:48] anyone gotten gnome 3 working well? Gtk looks terrible and programs keep crashing on me [06:48] I rather like LXDE actually, hahaha [06:48] shaneomack91: i do not mean you, I mean linus author of linux kernel === jeff_ is now known as Guest95870 [06:49] food: Ah I see. [06:49] Damn, I'm just glad to be communicating with people who use Linux, instead of trying to convert unenlightened Windows users. [06:51] shaneomack91, it's futile. people won't change until they care. I prefer the tact of secretly pouring salt water and tinfoil flakes in windows machines. (just kidding. That's not smrt) [06:52] anyone here upgraded to the 11.04 beta? [06:52] shaneomack91: Let them suffer. [06:52] UbuntuNoob, you've asked that before. [06:52] shaneomack91: Also, ignorance is bliss. ;> [06:52] Seven_Six_Two: did i? i honestly dont remember asking that [06:52] UbuntuNoob, they're in #ubuntu+1 not here. Ask there. #ubuntu+1 [06:52] UbuntuNoob, yes. yesterday [06:53] UbuntuNoob, yeah [06:53] Seven_Six_Two My course of action was to install Ubuntu on the internet-surfing PC where I volunteer. People used it for a while, but someone snook WinXP back on there.. [06:53] Seven_Six_Two: ohhh i think i was trying to downgrade from it yesterday === jbleau is now known as ninwa [06:53] thanks [06:53] shaneomack91, oh, you need to disable booting from cd, and lock the bios. [06:54] Seven_Six_Two Yeah I should have thought of that. Maybe I should try again but use the Redmond theme so they can't tell the difference :P [06:56] That PC is just there for people to surf on their breaks. It's not secured or monitored, just donated.. [06:56] lol. I spent a long time installing ubuntu on my dad's pc a few xmas's ago and making sure his hardware all worked. I forgot to remove the install cd, and my step brother hit enter through the whole install without reading anything. No red flags. No, "hey, this is different" [06:56] http://www.lottasay.com/Froweey/view/thread/595/ [06:56] http://www.lottasay.com/Froweey/view/thread/595/ [06:57] does squashfs errors sound like a dvd live media problem ? [06:57] PythonGuru19: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:57] I had ubuntu installed and decided to install kubuntu as well. I have since upgraded to 11.04 and i want to remove the kubuntu, any ideas? [06:57] chipmenk, that's the live disc fs. so, yet [06:57] yes [06:57] Haha, reminds me of a post I saw on Facebook recently, a friend of mine somehow installed Windows 7 twice... [06:57] inaety, you installed ubuntu and kubuntu of the same version? [06:57] inaety, in a terminal run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [06:58] inaety, or did you just install kde in ubuntu [06:58] How do I know my raid device? [06:59] Seven_Six_Two, i simply did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:59] i assumed that just removing that package would....break things [06:59] inaety, then do sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [06:59] Nooo! [07:00] shaneomack91, ? [07:00] installing kde doesn't remove gnome [07:00] Don't manually remove kubuntu-desktop. It'll cause hell with dependancies. [07:00] It did for me. [07:00] Just install ubuntu-desktop, which will automatically deselect ubuntu-desktop. [07:00] shane4ubuntu, kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package. That's what it's supposed to do [07:00] shaneomack91, why would installing ubuntu-desktop get rid of everything [07:00] I'm sorry if this was answered before but I missed it: when you have more than one desktop environment installed, at what part of boot do you select them? before login or at the login screen? [07:00] MK login screen. [07:00] i just want every kde application gone [07:01] vanilla ubuntu [07:01] MK`, both of your choices are the same. at login [07:01] Ok thank you === Guest3577 is now known as LarsTorben [07:01] inaety install ubuntu-desktop, THEN remove kubuntu-desktop. I removed the kubuntu-desktop metapackage one time and screwed my system. [07:01] Lol I meant, before the login screen [07:02] inaety, if you want you can (re)install ubuntu-desktop to switch any defaults, then remove all of kde apps... [07:02] shaneomack91, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [07:02] ? [07:02] inaety, yes, that will do. [07:02] k [07:02] i installed gnome3 over this and it is ruining everything [07:03] terminal is spitting out that removing kubuntu-desktop will only get rid of like 47kb [07:03] I selected kubuntu-desktop to be installed, and it didn't say anything would be removed...You will be fine either way. worst case scenario, you have to install ubuntu-desktop from a prompt, and you already know how to do that. [07:04] hello [07:04] inaety, That's correct as it is just a meta-package. [07:04] inaety: Just a suggestion... back up your important data now, in case you end up needing to reinstall! [07:04] I just don't want you to have the same screw-up I did that's all :P [07:04] shaneomack91, lol it didnt do anything [07:05] rob_p, ubuntu one has me covered :) [07:05] inaety: :) [07:05] Being forced to use the console is a PITA if you only have WLAN available for internet :P [07:05] im actually well rehearsed with iwconfig and wpa_cli [07:05] but what should i do here with apt-get remove [07:06] didn't do anything haha [07:06] inaety just go ahead and install ubuntu-desktop, you'll probably have to remove the KDE apps individually. [07:06] i have some php script running under screen command...how do i stop the script [07:07] !puregnome | inaety [07:07] inaety: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [07:07] bazhang, even for the beta? [07:07] inaety, #ubuntu+1 for the beta [07:07] .. [07:08] Aptitude... so that should remove all the KDE stuff unlike apt-get? [07:08] how do Iattach to detached sreen === aron___ is now known as aron__ [07:08] shaneomack91, nah it didnt work [07:08] how do I attach to detached screen [07:08] ill go to +1 [07:08] inaety Are you familiar with tasksel? [07:08] abhijeet, man screen [07:08] shaneomack91, fraid not [07:08] abhinav_singh: screen -r [07:09] inaety, sudo apt-get install tasksel, then sudo tasksel. It's a nice NCURSES-type menu, you can deselect Kubuntu desktop and install Ubuntu desktop via that. [07:10] Tasksel is also handy if you want to quickly install a LAMP server or mail server too :) [07:11] hey guys I wonder how can I download an embed pdf file which needs a paid subrscription to download, is there a way to get the file ? [07:13] lasha, do they give you an option to print? [07:14] Seven_Six_Two: yes but you need to do the same procedure, you need subscription to print [07:15] lasha, sorry, can't help then. I've had access where i could print but not download (flashpaper) and I used cups-pdf [07:16] hi. my cron tab is http://pastebin.com/C204nbwJ. plz see it. i want to run a script in 23:57 every day. i dont know how edit my crontanb. because i dont know the means of run-parts [07:17] How can I make Movie Player/Totem tell me what's actually not working instead of just giving me a meaningless error like "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error." [07:17] shaneomack91, i got it with removing libqtcore4 [07:18] hale, you don't have to worry about that. [07:18] How do I know my raid device? [07:18] test? [07:19] Seven_Six_Two: ?

[07:20] u got to settings [07:20] with konversation [07:20] u dont't wanna see the people joining in? [07:21] right [07:21] chrpmink: if youre using xchat, right click on the channel name, and under settings, check hide join/part message [07:21] hale, run-parts is to run every script in a directory. [07:22] chipmink [07:22] How to do this in quassel? [07:22] hale, you need to add a new line, not modify an existing one. or put in in the cron.daily directory (may not be at 23.57) [07:22] chipmink: settings -> Chat Window -> Hide Join/part/Nick events [07:23] hale, http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html [07:26] Seven_Six_Two: ok. i'm studing noew.

[07:32] mimi2: repeating or writing in caps won't get you help faster, it rather annoys people, so you won't get any help. [07:32] mimi2: if it doesn't boot, you can still use a live system to boot, chroot into your system and reinstall all packages that might have been uninstalled [07:33] i just slot an Nvida gigabyte GT440 into my Ubuntu 10.10 Asus 880G motherboard and it is coming up with ata3 (or 5) exception Emask irq_stat phy rdy changed SError: Persist - If I remove the card the machine boots properly [07:33] what if my live cd is of a different version?

[08:09] !anyone | wjd86 [08:09] wjd86: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [08:10] really? [08:10] ok i want to be cool, sit back. and go irc nazi on people. [08:10] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/593458/ [08:11] Does anyone have good knowledge of Apache2.conf? [08:11] where download software for BACKTRACK? [08:11] wjd86: Please don't make comparisons to nazis. [08:11] nhoc_t39: ask #backtrack-linux; backtrack isn't supported here. [08:11] wjd86: What are you trying to accomplish? [08:12] im a unix noob, trying to set up a web server :/ [08:12] where download software for Linux? [08:12] If I run two instances of "iperf" on a server side, would they interfere? [08:12] wjd86: The default Apache2 install should bring up a, "It works" page. [08:13] nhoc_t39: your distribution's repositories [08:13] where download software for Linux? [08:13] is RAM and FSB the same? [08:13] wjd86: Did you install Apache2 yet? [08:13] WeThePeople, no [08:13] rob_p, yea it does, but i need to edit the servertokens within the .conf :/ [08:13] rob_p except that its missing from the .conf :/ [08:14] nhoc_t39: your distribution's repositories [08:14] wjd86: Why servertokens? You trying to spoof server type for some reason? [08:14] http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/ [08:14] following tutorials :/ [08:14] wjd86: Don't waste your time with that. It won't buy you any real security! === punjabibecks is now known as bubble_ [08:14] ok, have any suggestions? [08:15] and thank you very much === epzil0n_ is now known as epzil0n [08:15] wjd86: Just get the server up and running and then create/enable your applicable vhost(s). [08:16] how can I enable NIS lookup on my machine? [08:16] Jordan_U, Is there a way I can install 'unxz' from source code and then use it ? [08:16] what line do I need to put in my /etc/nsswitch.conf? [08:17] Jenk: You don't need to. Can you pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a"? [08:17] Hey, I've been running the last couple of ubuntu versions, and I have an issue occuring when the updating tool wants to update my existing menu.lst, the UUIDs it uses for the disks are completely off, and I have to manually edit them each time this happens (otherwise booting will be difficult) - could anyone help me figure out why it does this? [08:17] Jordan_U, Yes, I did send you the link, http://paste.ubuntu.com/593458/ [08:17] Jigaboo Jigaboo [08:17] Where are you? [08:18] I've been standing behind the woodpile watching you! [08:18] Jenk: Sorry, missed it the first time. [08:18] Jigaboo Jigaboo come out now! [08:18] how do show the command in LINUX [08:18] Jordan_U, That's fine, but any luck on this ? [08:18] JigJigJigs: Not here, thanks. Try #ubuntu-offtopic. [08:18] "But Ize beez fraid of da white man way down south!" [08:18] Jenk: Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer supported. === twister is now known as texter [08:18] Jenk: Please upgrade to a supported release. [08:18] wjd86: With Apache2, by default there's very little you need to configure in the global conf file. All site specific stuff (where all the nitty-gritty is) is configured within each vhost declaration. [08:18] hrm guys [08:18] hi,everyone [08:18] !eol | Jenk [08:18] Jenk: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:18] how do show the command in LINUX [08:19] nhoc_t39: As I already told you, go ask #backtrack-linux [08:19] ok [08:19] mv sourcepath_folder destinationpath_folder, it moves including the folder. lol. all i want is the contents of that folder [08:20] im very new to all this, so extending past tutorials is .... hard :P [08:20] how do I do that ? [08:20] wjd86: It makes it nice for hosting multiple sites and even multiple domains with just one Apache! :) [08:20] Jordan_U, Gosh, I'm waiting for natty to come out, and till then this is only a stop gap arrangement. Could you help ma manually install 'unxz' ? Possibly from source. === adrien_ is now known as Guest36115 [08:20] nhoc_t39, don't try to get backtrack stuff working in ubuntu. It's not worth the headache. Honestly [08:20] lol 9.04 [08:20] Speaking of EOL. ubuntu 9.10 ends april 29-2011 i just read the posting a few mins ago from my rss reader [08:20] really? [08:20] ok :P [08:20] hi Seven_Six_Two Jenk rob_p [08:20] why? [08:21] babloo, Hi ! [08:21] hello babloo! :) [08:21] im not quite sure where to start with it though [08:21] using pinguy which is developed on linuxmint :| [08:21] nhoc_t39, they base the current version on ubuntu 8.04, but it's all custom stuff. It obviously can be done, but you're in for monster headaches. They have custom wifi modules, for one [08:21] Jenk: I don't particularly like to try to support EOL software, and it's officially not supported in this channel so you're pretty much on your own :( [08:21] problem in installing AIR Fiorensics tool [08:21] oh [08:21] thanks [08:22] hi babloo [08:22] babloo: only Ubuntu and official derivatives are supported here. Please ask your distribution's support channel. [08:22] Jordan_U, Oh, well. Thanks anyway for your time. :) [08:22] wjd86: I'd start in /etc/apache2/sites-available and create your vhost as per the many tutorials on the 'Net. [08:22] so i shouldnt need to edit the php.ini file in apache2 edither? [08:22] K rww thanks for the info [08:22] rob_p ok thanks man [08:22] if I am getting dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled in /var/log/mail.log, do I need to enable server or client? [08:22] wjd86, because they only give you defaults. They often aren't appropriate, and aren't safe [08:23] Does anyone here know enough about evince to help me to get it to start a specific program (the terminal) when I click a link to a script? [08:23] wjd86: Not to start out with...but that's not to say that you won't have the need to tweak it later for a specific requirement. By default, it should work for most things. [08:23] In a pdf file. [08:23] wjd86, sorry. I misunderstood. You may need to, but usually isn't required to make something work [08:23] Made with beamer class (LaTeX). [08:23] kk [08:23] wjd86 yea exactly rob_p said [08:24] rob_p any good tutorials off the top of your head? i have a knack for finding bad ones [08:24] such as not using xampp on this comp :P [08:24] wjd86: After you have your vhost configured, then you use the, "a2ensite sitename" to enable it. Afterwards just command a restart (or reload) of Apache and your site should be up! :) [08:25] Any one know Amaranth [08:26] pehden, how does that relate to ubuntu support? [08:26] pehden, not personally. but yes [08:26] Does anyone here know enough about evince to help me to get it to start a specific program (the terminal) when I click on a link to a script? The link to the script is in a pdf file made with beamer class (LaTeX). [08:26] wjd86: None off the top of my head... Sorry. I don't use them! But that's not to say that I wouldn't recommend you use them. I just prefer to create my own way by reading the documentation and figuring it out, "the hard way" so that I know *exactly* what's going on! [08:27] i am recording my voice in audacity but i want to change the format of the saving it is saves as .aup and it is not opening without audacity i want to change the formant so any player can o[en it please tell how to do this? [08:27] prov: evince $PDF ? [08:27] jiltdil, that's a project file. you have to export it [08:28] seven_six_two bazhang well it doesnt but i knew him personaly and was kinda wondering if any one knew the times he would be in here [08:28] wjd86: I've been hosting domains with Apache for 10 years now so I've been down the road a few times with it! [08:28] Seven_six_two:please tell how to do this [08:28] pehden, no sorry. I don't know [08:28] pehden, #ubuntu-offtopic and lurk [08:28] mind if i open a private chat then? ive got a million Q's :/ [08:28] jiltdil, Open the file menu, select export, and create an mp3 or ogg. [08:28] Seven_six_two:thnx i find it [08:28] bazhang lol seriously === Alix_ is now known as pylix [08:28] red2kic: What did that mean? [08:28] wjd86: I'm actually at work so I probably shouldn't spend too much time... [08:29] ah kk [08:29] seven_six_two i had a question for him and hes on here more then fb lol [08:29] wjd86: I try to hang out in here and help a few folks from time to time... [08:29] keep the questions in here, not private messages, others can learn from your questions and the answers [08:29] seven_six_two its kool though [08:29] prov: I have no idea. Usually you can open a PDF file with evince by running "evince whatever.pdf" -- Make a small script with that. [08:30] wjd86 hmm [08:30] well im gonna go to bed i think, ive been working on this and my net book for over 10 hours :P [08:30] wjd86 i have my own server that is runing 10.10 [08:30] red2kic, he wants to lauch a script that's been embedded in a pdf [08:30] ahhh awesome [08:30] a few more hours wont hurt [08:30] red2kic: Opening the file is not the problem. [08:31] wjd86 ive been runing ubuntu for about 3 years [08:31] and body? [08:31] Seven_Six_Two: Ah. That's crazy. Scripts in PDF are not 100% proper. (People use it as example and such). [08:32] wouldnt it have to be a link to a script? [08:32] well to start, i do not know what a vhost is :/ [08:32] red2kic: Let me clarify, the script is in a directory and I compiled the presentation with a link to the script. [08:32] and if so that script has to be somewhere [08:33] !vhost [08:33] wjd86: Google search for, "apache2 vhost" and you'll get tons of info... [08:33] I just want evince, when I click the link to open that separate file (the script) in the terminal. [08:34] i must be missing something then, why not just open the script directly, do what you need to it then done === D_N_X is now known as DNX [08:34] prov, do you need output from the script? [08:34] ok i get it now [08:34] are you have Gnome [08:35] wjd86: You'll notice that in your /etc/apache2/sites-available directory, there's a default vhost declaration. Open it up and read through it. Then use that and other examples from the 'Net to construct others, unless you just need the one site, in which case just modify the default to your liking. [08:36] greg: I would like to see, as an experiment, if I can create a smooth presentation without fumbling around showing the desktop through the projector. I see that a lot and would like to use scripting to automate locating media files and script in advanced vlc options to do this. [08:36] wjd86: The apache2 documentation on the 'Net is also quite thorough and informative! :) [08:36] ah ok.. Sorry man I wouldn't be much help at all with something like that [08:37] are you have Gnome [08:37] prov: Any chance you can upload (whatever it is). I still don't understand what you're trying to do. [08:37] nhoc_t39, stop trolling [08:38] red2kic: Let me see, hold on. [08:38] sorry [08:38] nhoc_t39: This is not Backtrack channel. [08:38] but i told about linux [08:39] nhoc_t39, this channel isn't about "linux", it's "ubuntu support, for the current stable version" [08:39] What is the different between Ubuntu and Ubuntu long-term support? [08:39] !lts | SoftDroid [08:39] SoftDroid: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [08:39] oh [08:39] SoftDroid: For college, works, schools, etc. [08:39] sorry! [08:39] SoftDroid: It'd be crazy to maintain 100~ machines every 6 months. [08:39] rob_p ah k, thanks.. i think i will get it tonight or tomorrow :/ [08:40] red2kic: The script http://paste.ubuntu.com/593467/ and the presentation http://paste.ubuntu.com/593468/ [08:40] nhoc_t39, you could try #linux or #backtrack-linux [08:40] red2kic: Is LTS more stable or what? [08:40] SoftDroid, LTS means a longer support cycle. [08:40] SoftDroid: Yes, it would be considered more stable than current distro -- but you'd be behind with the packages. [08:40] wjd86: I'm sure you will! It's not too difficult so don't worry too much. Just don't be afraid to read a lot. Then you'll be the expert and you can help others! Good luck. :) [08:41] red2kic: Ok, thanks [08:42] red2kic: Beyond pasting those texts I am not sure I can explain further. Notice the \href in the presentation. I hope this helps. [08:42] prov: I never use latex myself -- but I can grasp. Does ./video.sh work? [08:42] how to change the logon window [08:42] ? [08:42] red2kic: you bet! [08:42] i dnt fine the genome manager [08:42] prov: I mean... \href{run:./video.sh}{Sample Video} [08:43] prov: Latex channel might be better place to ask FYI. :) [08:43] red2kic: It loads gvim instead of the terminal. === twister004_ is now known as twister004 [08:43] thanks again rob [08:43] red2kic: I would have thought here because it has to do with evince and gnome and my user experience. :) [08:43] can you durn ubuntu on 2 disk? [08:44] wjd86: welcome [08:44] prov: So running .sh will start gvim? [08:44] xombie; login screen(gdm2setup) to chage the login screen [08:44] red2kic: Yes, but not the terminal, which is what I need. [08:44] prov: Try right-click on .sh file -- Properties. Change that to gnome-terminal. [08:44] can you burn ubuntu on 2 disk? anyone [08:44] wrathology: One 700MB disc. [08:45] The Windows 7 installer sees the partition I made for windows as free space. How do I fix this? [08:45] I formatted using DiskUtility and chose NTFS [08:45] wrathology: It also can use USB. [08:45] wrathology, if you're talking about splitting a dvd iso, no. [08:45] red2kic: Yes, I have tried this and it will open the terminal but the script is not called. It just sits there waiting and looking as though I opened a new terminal from the menu. [08:45] !man ubuntu | pehden [08:45] !man ubuntu | grep pehden [08:45] <^NiNjA> Danielcg25, thats a windows issue not ubuntu related [08:46] red2kic the vsysdterm dont know waht a usb sticvk is [08:46] red2kic: Recap, changing the default open with does change evince behaviour but it does not execute the script. [08:46] <^NiNjA> this is ubuntu support [08:46] red2kic: Odd right? [08:46] system [08:46] What is the proper name of the warning triangle symbol in the notification area? "The update information is outdated." [08:47] red2kic is there a smaller program that will fit on one cd [08:47] prov: I would think that you might have non-proper latex syntax. I can't be certain. Heh. [08:47] !minimal | wrathology [08:47] wrathology: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:47] wrathology: It is only 12MB. [08:48] where is it red2kic [08:48] red2kic: That might be the case. I will have to keep trying. Thanks for you help though :) [08:48] I'm using Compiz window picker. The keyword navigation using up/down etc goes in a circle, sometimes I can go right, but not left and have to go the full circle before I can get to that window again. Is that a feature or bug? [08:48] the download link [08:48] wrathology: ubottu gave you. Look up. [08:48] hi [08:48] prov: Look for latex channel. I highly recommend it. :) [08:50] wrathology: How big is the blank CD you have? The normal Ubuntu iso should fit on most blank CDs. [08:54] how do i check which graphics driver is my computer running? [08:54] run a hardware check [08:55] Is anyone else experiencing trouble with Compiz window picker, like the up/down keys only working in one direction? [08:56] ok I had win7 and ubuntu duel boot, and was trying to get netbook edition to work 10.10 but it failed then it wouldnt load anything, so installed 10.10 side by side and now i figured how to fix the original 10.10 how to i get back to the first w7 and 10.10 [08:56] : try "lsmod" [08:57] then good news for you people, kms (at least emulation) for nvidia prop drivers exists [08:58] ok I had win7 and ubuntu duel boot, and was trying to get netbook edition to work 10.10 but it failed then it wouldnt load anything, so installed 10.10 side by side and now i figured how to fix the original 10.10 how to i get back to the first w7 and 10.10, and remove the second 10.10 from grub [09:00] ok I had win7 and ubuntu duel boot, and was trying to get netbook edition to work 10.10 but it failed then it wouldnt load anything, so installed 10.10 side by side and now i figured how to fix the original 10.10 how to i get back to the first w7 and 10.10, and remove the second 10.10 from grub === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [09:03] how to use kms, any refer?

[09:07] as in smooth graphical boot and correct screen resolutions before session [09:08] anyone? [09:08] well I think I heard that nouveau acquired 3D accel, but when I did lsmod | grep nv nvidia showed up, and lsmod | grep nou showed nothing [09:08] Hello [09:09] also, glxgears shows that the running driver is nvidias [09:09] 's* [09:10] How do I find the right disk number code thing like cd0??

[09:24] hi there [09:24] anyone - new nvidia card/ removed all sata drives and at the same time the irq conflict.. but it boots into text login and reports gdm already running. why isn't it booting into x? [09:24] A friend's computer with Ubuntu 10.04 has started to freeze inputs (not background activities) from time to time. Any idea how to diagnose and solve this? [09:25] morgan: did you install the latest nVidia drivers? [09:26] is there any way to copy and paste on ubuntu server [09:27] did u try ctrl+shift+v/c [09:27] how do I select it? [09:27] hi.

[09:29] chocobanana - just had a bit of a win - removed my xorg.conf file since it pointed to the ATI onboard GPU settings. Now I've got X and installing drivers. Still may have an IRQ conflict when I drop my Sata drives back in though?!? [09:31] morgan: no clue about the IRQ conflict, that is probably not related to X… did you try googling for it? === TomRone_ is now known as TomRone [09:34] hlo [09:36] chocobanana - googled lots on irq conflicts. lots of stale posts but no real information [09:37] Camer0n: sudo apt-get install gpm. That gives you a mouse in the console. You ca then use the 'middle' button or left/right together (emulate 3 button) to copy paste the line you want. [09:37] /connect bitlbee1.asnetinc.net [09:37] morgan: I would suggest installing the drives again and see if the problem still happens.

The same problem has been discussed here "http://askubuntu.com/questions/25173/facebook-and-gmail-stop-working-after-10-minutes". [09:44] Fn+F9 is supposed to do that, but I suppose it doesn't work without the driver. [09:44] (not to you, ether_boy) [09:45] sounds like a flash or javascript problem [09:45] I'm running 10.10 but it's on a machine that doesn't cope well with it [09:46] what's the simplest way to downgrade [09:46] and can you recommend something that will be running at its optimum on the machine I'm using?

[09:51] 3 years ? :) [09:51] dariusb: Ziltoid83 8.04??? No!! Use the latest LTS if you want to 'install and forget'. 700mb RAM is enough. MAybe consider a alternate window-manager. [09:52] Ziltoid83, try ICEWM or FluxBox, they are light and resposive comparitivly [09:52] What is the proper name of the warning triangle symbol in the notification area?

Can you give me the ID number, like '046d:c714' for this Broadcom device? [11:00] Memphizzz: You can check the history file with the 'history' command and then use the command with the number next to it, like !431 [11:00] alexzulu: To ligin woth no X: press shift on boot to get grub menu, press e to edit, and add text to boot parameters (remove splash eventually) [11:00] *with* [11:01] 0a5c:4500 [11:01] minimec but wouldnt it be easy to do history > hist.txt then view that cause i know mine has over 400 comnads [11:01] Peter_ still looking [11:01] shcherbak, I want to use runlevel 3 and runlevel 5. but with the new system initialization is not working.

[11:06] 10.10 netbook edition [11:07] twister004: modprobe loads modules ( drivers ) in the kernel. that command loads the psmouse module passing it the parameter proto=imps [11:07] mehdi: I don't think you need that. Normally wireless routers are configured to 'auto' choose a channel. You would have to configure your router and wifi device to use the same channel. [11:07] mehdi: Can you paste.ubuntu.com the while output of lsusb, please? [11:08] mehdi: whole not while... [11:08] erUSUL... recently, my touchpad stopped working in ubuntu... it works fine until ubuntu loads.. any idea why this could be happening? [11:09] twister004: no; sorry.

[11:17] fantomas : just open it using archive mounter... [11:17] mehdi: Well.. What you have to do is... Check all ID's until you find the one for your wifi device. Then use that ID in combination with Ubuntu 10.10 as search terms for you search engine. [11:17] spm-Draget: yes, but if I was a bit more patient I wouldn't get an answer :) [11:18] #winehq is pretty idle, so i'll ask here - winetricks doesn't have the permission to create folders, etc, do i run it with sudo ? [11:18] Camer0n: reposting your question multiple times during 5-10 minutes will just get on peoples nerves. And quite a few of them are already pretty sensetive in here, I know tha myself :P [11:18] sorry Peter_ i though there was something i was able to get in sofware center for it but couldnt find anything [11:19] Camer0n: Did you get that copy/paste on cosole hint I gave you before?

But it tries to create a temporary folder... not sure, eventually in the folders it is run from. Try tunning it from your home directpry [11:19] Camer0n: sudo apt-get install gpm. That gives you a mouse in the console. You ca then use the 'middle' button or left/right together (emulate 3 button) to copy paste the line you want. [11:19] okay thanks! [11:20] Hi guy.

If I open a new file I cannot switch between them [13:54] I can switch between the previously-opened files, but have to use :bn to get to the newly opened.

[14:00] do you have the ldif ikonia coz the one i took on the ubuntu is giving me problem [14:00] shcherbak It will show the right file. BUT if I then do :n or :prev it cycles through the files that were opened with "vim *.txt" [14:00] d0v1k: not to hand no, [14:01] shcherbak Does that make sense? [14:01] I think it's because the newly-opened file is in a new buffer and I can't cycle through all files in multiple buffers without changing buffer [14:01] give me one sec let me upload my syslog on pastebin [14:02] But after opening the new file, I CAN :prev or :n into the originally-opened files. However I cannot :prev or :n back into the newly opened file! Weird...

[14:30] bigmahatma: I suggest asking again, and getting a second opinion on that. You shouldn't need to upgrade to get that to work.

It shows the correct full $PATH as i've added onto the path with .bashrc. If I run gvim from gnome by double clicking on a txt file then echo the path it doesn't have the extra bits added to the path?

[14:45] meganerd: partitions [14:45] damno: most of the partitions should be mounted at boot, if they are not the file you are interested in is /etc/fstab [14:46] bfri, ok, well the best thing is reformat to ext4 , and if it's an older pc then the alternate install pc might be what you need if the live cd install wouldn't finish [14:46] can any body help me in doing mac based auth using freeradius? [14:46] p;z? [14:46] pc=cd [14:47] damno: instead of specifying the device (eg. /dev/sdb2), have a look at /dev/disk/by-uuid, the /etc/fstab can mount based on the UUID, in case the device name changes. This is also handy for mounting a USB or other removable device in the same place [14:47] meganerd: in my normal ubu installation (gui) I have to mount the drives necessary by opening them. otherwise they cant be accessed in oy\ther apps , say a torrent client [14:47] quit [14:47] i have done settings as per http://wiki.freeradius.org/Mac-Auth [14:47] hey guys [14:47] damno: OK, if you want them to always be mounted, then /etc/fstab is what you want to edit [14:48] anyone has a clue? [14:48] Is there anything in the repo's that will either open or convert DXF files? [14:48] !alternate | bfri [14:48] bfri: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[14:49] damno: whatever you want. You are not limited to /mnt or /media [14:49] damno: you have to create the mount point first, which is only a directory [14:50] damno: /media it typically where you mount things of your own. Just create a directory name that you want there. [14:50] damno: you could create a /torrents folder, then mount one of the partitions to that if you really wanted to. [14:50] bfri: they're telling you to make an alternate cd using the ubuntu alternate iso and reinstall on your comp using that, since it is text based vs gui based it will actually complete the install and you'll get past this road block you are experiencing now. [14:50] blueskaj: i can do this from a usb right? [14:50] damno: what I do is put non standard stuff in /opt, that is just my way of organizing things. [14:51] hi there [14:51] bfri, read my post above about alternate-cd , you're obviously on a diff pc so DL the alternare-cd and burn it [14:51] I'm developing a gwibber plugin for Sina [14:51] I meet a package problem [14:51] Sina has some icon file, and how could add them to the gwibber package?

[14:51] blueskaj: i got you but it has no cd drive [14:51] bfri, you can from usb if you're bios allows [14:52] blueskaj: it does [14:52] is there anyway to view internet pages on ubuntu server [14:52] bfri: sounds like you are installing to a netbook, no problem again, on the good pc, download the alternate-cd, burn it, open it on the good pc, use the usb-creator that is there, done. [14:52] Camer0n: lynx, w3m [14:52] Scunizi: meganerd: all i want is to use my prtitions from the terminals, when they are not yet mounted. I think editing fstab is the best idea. Thanks. [14:52] thanks [14:52] Camer0n: install links2 [14:53] hypershock: right ok [14:53] the live-cd/usb should have worked in your case , if the pc allows it, bfri [14:53] blueskaj: so this alternative ubuntu is just command line ?

[14:57] Does Ubuntu 32 bit have a max memory usage of 3-4 GB like Win 32? [14:57] whats the command to find your ip address [14:57] ifconfig [14:57] thanks [14:58] camer0n: man ifconfig :) [14:58] Camer0n: That is only internal ip not external [14:58] elijah: yes [14:58] Camer0n: or "ip a" if ou want something more...compact [14:58] elijah: yes and no, yes, but it will install a driver that accesses the excess ram, so that makes it a no. [14:58] Camer0n: and also guaranteed to be available even with very minimal installs (ifconfig is only on full installs) [14:58] elijah: PAE can sometimes get around this, but the short short answer is yes [14:58] meganerd: and HyperShock: so it is better to just run 64bit? [14:59] selam [14:59] thanks maco [14:59] elijah: why not? [14:59] meganerd: I thought there were still issues with 64bit anything...

I am pretty good on the CLI, but have never used conky [15:01] meganerd: ok, thanks. [15:01] westmi: its because you have incomplete package installations, so while the updater wants to, it doesn't dare do so until it knows for sure. [15:02] so how can I fix it? [15:02] or, can I fix it? [15:02] westmi: a simple 'sudo apt-get autoremove' will drastically change what that updater will say, not to mention tweaking your repos.

[15:07] meganerd: in the mailing list I heard pulse gives "awesome" sound [15:08] meganerd: some ppl do say so. [15:08] damno: well, alsa is still what is talking to the sound card, so unless they are doing additional processing to the sound, I can't imagine how [15:08] damno: do you need "awesome" sound? ie, is the sound you are experiencing somehow not awesome enough?

[17:21] rumpe1, it seems eval $command worked as well :) [17:22] JediMaster: Do you ever use the serial console to login [17:22] geri, try "glxinfo | grep -i vendor" [17:22] how do I search for a file in terminal [17:22] geri, if you want to check whether it is open source or amd [17:23] Camer0n123, find, locate, tree, ls -R, ... [17:23] thanks! [17:23] as [17:23] j;jk [17:23] is there a virtual cdrom for ubuntu [17:24] heh, everyone wish me luck tonight :P I gotta replace all the disks in one of our SAN's, so Im rsynching all the data off it to another mount, then gonna loopback mount the rsync point back to the original directory entry so I can remove the old san, replace all its disks, put it back, and then rsync all the data back onto it again and remount it in the original position [17:24] bfri, what you want to do? [17:24] shcherbak, I don't completely understand your question. echo $command gives something that I could have just as well typed myself and it would work. However, only $command gives this error: "/usr/bin/time: cannot run %C\nEkte: No such file or directory". It's trying to run the formatstring (up to the first space) as a command. [17:24] with some completely insane amount of data being moved around [17:24] Symmetria: keep in mind this is a support channel for ubuntu please === chris_ is now known as Guest99506 [17:25] janisozaur: mount ubuntu 10.04 from usb start up [17:25] lol ikonia have a feeling when things go wrong tonight I might be looking for some of that :) [17:25] Symmetria: and we'll be here waiting [17:25] bfri, i can't see why would you need virtual cdrom for that... [17:26] bfri: you should be asking "how to make a bootable usb stick with ubuntu 10.04" or something else [17:27] janisozaur: im running and alternative version of ubuntu because i was missing bootmgr file and now i cant boot on a restart from my usb [17:27] fank604 i have that but it doesnt work [17:28] raido: no, but this is a VM and I think they may use it for console logins when ssh is down [17:28] bfri, then am I correct to assume that you just want to restore bootloader? [17:28] hi [17:28] my synaptic hangs very often (not always) when unpacking the .debs. what can i do? [17:28] janisozaur: perhaps, will that allow me to run my bootable usb? [17:28] cant cancel it [17:28] JediMaster: I wouldnt worry about it [17:29] bfri [17:29] bfri, you want to boot your machine from usb stick? [17:29] janisozaur: yes [17:29] how does one reset the os to fresh one.... [17:30] bfri, do you have the option in bios enabled (and proper order of boot device set)? [17:30] janisozaur: yes i've made 3 bootables one for ubuntu 10.04, windos xp, and ubuntu alternative [17:30] jignesh: just install? [17:30] jignesh, I'd fetch the latest iso from ubuntu site, burn it and during install tell it to wipe everything (system only of course) [17:31] janisozaur: only the alternative worked [17:31] janisozaur: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [17:31] bfri, are you sure that they actually boot from usb? do they give any error? [17:32] How do you restart ubuntu remote desktop from cli [17:32] pentester reboot [17:32] pentester123, the ugly way is 'reboot' [17:32] any other way [17:32] pentester shutdo3wn -r now [17:32] I rebooted and its not working [17:32] *without the 3 [17:32] janisozaur: it has a screen that says defualt and a 10 sec countdown that only repeats forever [17:32] It only works after I connect a monitor [17:33] is there no ways just restore option? [17:33] bfri, that's most probably grub and not isolinux [17:33] How can I reload/restart inetd in Ubuntu? [17:33] /etc/init.d/inetd restart [17:33] janisozaur: so can i bypass it? [17:34] how can i list the current driver of my ati graphiccard???? [17:34] lolmatic: No such file. [17:34] No other way besides reboot? [17:34] am not getting any progress here .. [17:34] i dont even know were to look or what to look for [17:34] bfri, there must have been some error during the creation of usb stick [17:34] pentester please explain your issue fully [17:34] or maybe reset all the setting to default [17:34] janisozaur: well im using ubuntus usb creator [17:35] startup disk creator* [17:35] how can i list the current driver of my ati graphiccard???? [17:35] ok, I have headless server running ubuntu with remote desktop enabled. When I reboot i can ssh into the machine but cant vnc into it until i restart with a monitor connected [17:35] how can i list the current driver of my ati graphiccard???? in Xorg.log? [17:36] pentester123, does Xorg's log indicate any error? (EE) [17:37] wheres the log located? [17:37] pentester123, /var/log i guess [17:38] are there any PI calculators for linux [17:38] WeThePeople, pi calculators? [17:38] geri: you can see under system->adminsitration->additional drivers if the ati binary driver is activated [17:38] ssh to monitorless server [17:38] type "vnc4server :1" [17:38] type "export DISPLAY=:1" [17:38] janisozaur, 3.141 [17:39] WeThePeople, i know what the pi is, but do you want to calculate it or just use it in your calculations? [17:39] pentester123: vnc typically requires a graphical session to be running, there is a vnc server that starts its own [17:39] vnc4server not installed [17:39] janisozaur: what do you recomendo? [17:39] Anyone knows a program, which can burn a bootable disks from .iso files ? [17:39] janisozaur, i want to calculate it [17:39] is there a way to remotely access a local X session that has already been started? [17:39] milen8204, brasero [17:39] janisozaur, to many places [17:39] ymasory: yes [17:40] janisozaur, thank a lot [17:40] pentester123 install it [17:40] milen8204, just right-click on your .iso file [17:40] WeThePeople: why? someone already reached a few billion i think, you'd need terabytes pf storage and an array of gpus and cpus programmed to divide the work [17:40] ymasory VNC [17:40] WeThePeople, then I don't know any, but you might want to try bc [17:40] hi all, ubuntu seems to randomly fail to suspend after recent update, machine: thinkpad t400, any ideas? [17:40] ymasory: you have to start a vncserver or something similar on that same host and point it to the right display byt setting the DISPLAY variable. id guess DISPLAY=:0 would do [17:40] leeland: doesn't VNC start new sessions [17:40] ymasory: it does not [17:41] interesting. thank you [17:41] janisozaur, bc ? [17:41] WeThePeople, yes, bc [17:41] ymasory: there is a VNC server which starts its own X11 server though, x11vnc [17:41] janisozaur, I just notice that i ave it :D [17:41] WeThePeople: any computer algebra system (maxima, mathematica, maple &cet.), will allow you to easily set up a Taylor series to generate pi. you can whip one up in Python without much trouble as well, if you like. [17:41] tanks a lot :) [17:41] ymasory: but that will not be the same as a normal login session via say gdm and then enabling the remote desktop [17:42] aeon-ltd, the record for PI reaches past 5 trillion marks [17:43] janisozaur, what is bc [17:43] Hi all. Getting error during startup, on a new raid 1 array (software raid). "Error: sil: only 3/4th metadata on /dev/sdb". The array is sdb and sdc. Any ideas? No preexisting data, everything is brand new. [17:43] WeThePeople, a calculator. why don't you try it instead of asking? [17:43] WeThePeople man bc [17:43] how can i list the current driver of my ati graphiccard???? in Xorg.log? [17:43] anyone know where dell ubuntu images are -- ubuntu configured for Dell (m5010) [17:43] WeThePeople: and you intend to beat that? [17:44] Kindari cat /proc/mdstat [17:44] rhin0: you can just install standard ubuntu [17:44] there is an ubuntu configured for dell laptop [17:44] rhin0: idk if there are customized versions from dell though [17:44] there are [17:44] just wondering where they are [17:44] So if vnc only works when the monitor is connected, the vnc server, whatever is being used, starts at gui? [17:44] rhin0: the dell site i suppose? [17:44] ok [17:44] leeland: http://pastebin.com/T4HCgtSC [17:45] Kindari your raid is syncing, nothing to fret [17:46] Kindari when it is 100% you can remove a drive and replace it and watch it build again you can "watch cat /proc/mdstat" [17:46] Phew. :) Thanks. leeland: While syncing is it okay to write data to it? halt? etc? or should I leave it alone while it is doing its thing. [17:46] hi [17:46] Kindari do as you please, you won't hurt it. [17:46] Kindari if you shut it down, it will restart [17:47] rhin0, check this out: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04#Download_Dell_Ubuntu_Image see if it helps [17:47] ok thanks amen51 -- just found out there is one -- thought i'd better use it [17:48] im having troubles disabling the gnome-screensaver daemon. i want to use xscreensaver. i used the commands given in the xscreensaver manual to stop gnome-screensaver from launching at login. however when i log in and launch xscreensaver, it still tells me that gnome-screensaver daemon is running. what to do? [17:48] 7.04 is old [17:48] rhin0, you are welcome, though it seems to be old [17:48] ty [17:48] leeland: Awesome thanks. One other thing, For some reason the motherboard I got often changes which devices are what. For example during install I installed to sda and sdb and sdc were my raid disks. Upon boot however, sdb is my mount point, and sda/sdc are my raid disks. Any problems you might see in this (or solutions?) Thankfully my fstab entries are using UUIDs so it still mounts everything right. [17:48] rhin0, yes i noticed that, i'm not sure if they have any recent version [17:48] rhin0, just need to search for it! [17:49] Is anyone used Redshift before? [17:49] Has* [17:49] yes -- remain positive [17:50] Kindari: are you using hardwareraid from the motherboard? [17:50] acicula: Nope, software raid [17:51] k, good :) [17:51] Everything is set using UUID, so everything has worked thus far. [17:51] UUID entries should not change yeah [17:51] awesome, thanks guys. [17:52] rhin0: i only see that old dell image for ubuntu, which is no longer supported or maintained, you will be better of installing a newer ubuntu version [17:52] BluesKaj, you still here? I have two codecs show up, Realtek ALC888, and Intel G45 DEVIBX. neither are really referenced in that file. [17:52] ok thanks -- I see 9.10 it is === cropalat is now known as cropalato [17:52] BluesKaj, so I added options snd-hda-intel model=auto [17:52] anyone have a comprehensive guide to dual booting win 7 and natty? starting with a fresh disk [17:53] Hello [17:53] rhin0, I run ubuntu 10.04 on a dell with no problems [17:53] Guys, what filesystems Ubuntu designed to use? [17:53] i like ext4 :) [17:53] irv, partition your disk, install win7 and later ubuntu. that's as comprehensive as it gets ;) [17:53] so am I just wanterd temperature sensors working etc [17:53] Hi, Im wondering if anyone can help me track down the name of a prgram, its part of the ubuntu repo [17:54] Its used to creating/mounting a encrpyted image file [17:54] isn't there some business with the grub bootloader wiping out the windows boot partition which you then have to repair? [17:54] or is that fixed up now [17:54] Just a script I believe [17:54] irv, there has never been anything wrong with it [17:54] shieet [17:54] rhin0: id use 10.04 or higher, 9.10 is about to be dropepd [17:54] i've been doing something wrong then lol [17:54] irv, just install windows first and ubuntu later === cropalato is now known as cropalat [17:54] ok thanks acicula === cropalat is now known as cropalato [17:55] every time i installed grub2, it wiped out the windows boot loader loader from its little partition and wouldn't boot windows [17:55] but sweet i will try just doing that [17:55] 哈哈 [17:56] rhin0: for temperature sensors you typically need to fiddle with the lm-sensors package for reading out the hardware sensors [17:56] so i should just leave the space that i will allocate to linux as unused in the windows install and then partition that part within the ubuntu setup [17:56] irv, grub usually handles windows' boot loader pretty well, no need to fret [17:56] HI [17:56] what ubuntu version do you use [17:56] hey i got natty runing and when i wanne start ccsm is crashes !? [17:56] ok thanks acicula understood [17:57] !natty | lampe2 [17:57] lampe2: 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 currently intended for production systems. [17:57] irv, yes. remember that when partitioning with mbr, you can have only 4 primary partitions [17:57] My system is slowing down/jerking every 1-2 seconds. Everything, if I move a window, or just the cursor, I can see/feel it. One core has a very high workload and I figured out that X is the process which has a high CPU%. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with GNOME and an NVIDIA GTX 280 with proprietary drivers from the official Ubuntu repos. I restarted X and GNOME several times, but no... [17:57] ...effect. I had this problem some weeks ago, but I thought my weak PSU is causing the problem, but now for sure it wasn't the reason because I have a PSU with enough power at all. I completely reinstalled my system since then. The problem was gone but today, it appears again! I found many forums which discuss that problem, it seems to affect a lot of users. But I didn't found a solution so... [17:57] ...far. Please help, I can't work like that. And reinstall the whole system every month is not the solution. Thanks in advance! [17:57] s1m0ne: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:57] and windows requires 2 right? [17:57] or would it just need 1 as long as its not at the start of the disk [17:57] irv, if anything should happen you can come here and someone will surely help you [17:57] irv: the default setup is that grub2 wipes the windows bootloader and lets you load windows via grub. If you want to use the windows bootloader instead you will have to setup grub2 to install on the ubuntu partition only and have the windows bootloader point to grub2 [17:57] !dualboot | irv, this might have some usefull pointers as well [17:57] irv, this might have some usefull pointers as well: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [17:58] yeah i'm content using grub2 to boot both linux and windows [17:58] how do i mount virtually mdf image on ubuntu? [17:58] . [17:58] s1m0ne: generally if X is showing high cpu usage, its actually some program running on top of X thats sending wayyy too many queries. got any applications that are doing lots of screen refreshes? [17:58] okay thanks, wish me luck [17:58] i'll stay here while i do the install :p [17:58] Anyone here been using luvcview? I have tried to use it too dump an avi from my webcam, but where do the output end up?? [17:58] s1m0ne: what happens when you disable the binary drivers? [17:58] where is the dhcp configuration? [17:58] tommis, convert it to iso === herton_lunch is now known as herton [17:58] for reference -- will try this --- linux.dell.com ubuntu 10.04 factory iso [17:58] for reference --- http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/lucid/iso-images/ [17:59] ubd: /etc [17:59] how can i list the current driver of my ati graphiccard???? in Xorg.log? [17:59] janisozaur, how? [17:59] ubd, in /etc/dhcp* [17:59] thanks! [17:59] ubuntu is gr8 [17:59] tommis, i remember using poweriso (windows) to do that [18:00] janisozaur, yes on windows... [18:00] hopefully that'll be factory fall all dell laptops [18:00] rhin0: cool :) [18:00] maco: don't know so far. i didn't change anything since yesterday. and all the other processes seems to be normal. maybe it's a gnome thing [18:00] geri: grep "modules/driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:01] s1m0ne: well im thinking of, for example, i know the gnome system monitor adds a ton of load as it tries to keep updating the graphs. other things with constant updates would likely have the same effect [18:01] also, would you recommend a swap partition with 4gb of ram? [18:01] irv: yes [18:01] aeon-ltd, yes its possible for me to pass that mark [18:01] irv: yep. [18:01] cymew: is this an old one? http://openpaste.org/en/26696/ [18:01] maco: would it help if i paste my processes? [18:01] irv: unless you have a tiny harddrive there is little reason to not have one [18:02] aeon-ltd, it only took 17.5 days to do that === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:02] tommis: there is a poweriso available for linux [18:02] irv: else you will likely be wasting a fair bit of your physical ram holding reserved but unallocated memory (which is blank, but still can't be used for anything else), that can't be swapped out as is normally the case. [18:02] acicula: i have to try what happens if i disable the proprietary drivers. but it worked with them perfectly until now. but i will try to disable them later [18:02] WeThePeople, I'd say that calculating pi is a kind of 'if you have to ask then it's not for you' things [18:03] need help [18:03] bastidrazor, i didn't find one in the repos [18:03] !help | Guest70768 [18:03] Guest70768: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:03] !ask | Guest70768 [18:03] vish: i was a few seconds faster ;) [18:03] Hi, how can I specify what happens when I click a notify-send notification? [18:03] TheEvilPhoenix: boo! ;p [18:04] okay i will set up a 4gb swap partition as well, so i'd like a 100gb partition for windows, 100gb for ubuntu, 4gb for swap and the rest for a shared NTFS partition. [18:04] how would you recommend organizing that on the disk? [18:04] janisozaur, if you have to tell it may not be for you either [18:05] cause IIRC, if you put windows at the start of the disk, it needs to create that 100mb partition at the start to work [18:05] and that puts me at 5, over the limit [18:05] WeThePeople, indeed. but it's not me who wants to do that ;) [18:05] irv: it doesnt [18:05] irv if you need 4GB swap, you probably would benefit from more RAM [18:06] well i don't need 4gb, i just picked that number cause that's how much ram i have :P [18:06] woudl you recommend a 2gb swap instead? [18:06] irv, i would [18:06] i just remember reading somewhere that your swap space should be equal to the amount of ram haha [18:06] if not more [18:06] but if a smaller one is more beneficial, then i'll do that [18:06] irv, that hel true about 10 years ago [18:06] irv I use 2x the amount of ram until I get to 2048MB [18:06] that's when i read it :p [18:07] so 2048mb for swap with 4gb ram is good? [18:07] irv, it is not 'more beneficial' but just pointless nowadays [18:07] irv: If you want to hibernate, you'll need as much swap as ram. [18:07] Id say so [18:07] yeah i'd like to be able to hibernate the laptop [18:07] oh yeah [18:07] that's why [18:07] Pici: not true [18:07] hi! i just found out that [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick is using max power. and its a bug too. any workaround for it? [18:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [18:08] hey room [18:08] amskinner: Where do you suppose it is going to write out all the information that is in your ram before it powers off then? [18:08] tl;dr if you want to be able to suspend you need swap >= ram [18:08] Does anyone use any applications that adjust the screen for the time of day? [18:08] im not saying you dont need swap, but you dont nesessarily need swap equal to the amount of ram [18:08] so curious, if i have a partition with windows/ubuntu installed, and i have to reinstall windows for a particular reason.. [18:08] which will totally mess up the MBR [18:09] is there anything i can backup now, and easily replace later? [18:09] i cannot find dhcp!??!!? [18:09] window$ [18:09] Pici, i am able to hibernate and suspend my laptop that has 4gb of ram and 1gb of swap [18:09] shmup, they go on separate partitions first of all [18:09] s1m0ne: boot a ubuntu livecd and rerun grub update [18:09] hwilde: right, it was pointless for me to say that [18:09] shmup: you can back up the MBR [18:09] Pici, and to tell the truth, i have no idea where do the data go :P [18:09] shmup, so you wanna revise your question then? [18:10] hwilde: originally i installed windows first, then ubuntu, like it's advised. now i'm going to install windows again, which will mess up the mbr right? [18:10] yeah you can do a mbr backup shmup [18:10] but i will do an mbr backup [18:10] a mbr* [18:10] so nvm ;p thanks guys [18:10] shmup: window will mess it up [18:10] acicula, isn't suspend a 'suspend *to ram*' [18:10] hi guys :) So, i kinda screwed up...i allocated 300+gigs of memory (at instalation time) for /usr/local, and only 80 for /home (yeah, kinda dumb... ) , but now i really need some space...so can i remake the memory map thingy? :) [18:10] Dice-Man: right but couldn't i just swap back the backed up mbr? [18:10] Dice-Man: afterwords [18:11] ok i try the grub update now, i am back in a few minutes i hope [18:11] janisozaur: idk i always get them mixed up, were talking about dumping your ram into your swapfile [18:11] shmup, right, so then just reinstall ubuntu man. it only takes like 20 minutes [18:11] acicula, that's hibernation [18:11] hwilde: seems like a very dumb way to solve things [18:11] janisozaur: then you'll need your swap to do that [18:11] hwilde: wouldnt it be better to actually learn how to fix the problem? [18:11] janisozaur, i don't see what suspend would put *into* ram [18:11] shmup, solve you reinstalling os's repeatedly? what's the actual problem [18:11] shmup: imho no need to reinstall anything just restore the backup with a ubuntu live cd [18:11] acicula, and i am able to hibernate (and restore) my laptop that has 4gb of ram and only 1gb swap [18:12] irv, that's the point, it doesn't put anything [18:12] Dice-Man: yeah, will do.thans [18:12] irv, it just freezes its state [18:12] thanks* [18:12] question: when I connect (or disconnect) a usb drive (MYDISK) it automatically creates (or deletes) a "/media/MYDISK" directory is there a way to that from the console as well so i can mount/umount? If i create the folder in "/media/MYDISK" ubuntu wont use it, will create a new "/media/MYDISK_" [18:12] so can any one please help me? :) [18:12] shump i don't remember in details how to do it but you should crawl the web [18:12] there are lot of docs about it [18:12] Dice-Man: yeah i'll get to googlin' [18:13] patrunjel, gparted? [18:13] Dice-Man: however if i change the windows version, the mbr would be slightly diff wouldnt it? m [18:13] hm* [18:13] hi, i'd like to bundle a couple of packages that are required for a specific command line tool to work. is it generally possible to resolve all dependencies and install them to a specific directory using apt or dpkg? [18:13] could probably manually edit the backed up on [18:13] one [18:13] janisozaur, does it work ok? I mean, doesn't it mess up nothing? [18:13] janisozaur: if that be the case, issue a swapoff your swapspace and attempt to hibernate again [18:13] shmup: couldnt be easier: dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 where "x" is your boot drive [18:14] acicula, why would i want to do that? :P [18:14] janisozaur: if it fails it means its using your swap to hibernate ;) [18:14] acicula, it works as it is, no point to prove me, that it *might* fail [18:14] raido: ah okya === me is now known as Guest61443 [18:14] man i can't type on this laptop [18:15] patrunjel, what file system do you have? [18:15] janisozaur: think we're just trying to figure out how you're hibernating without the necessary swap space to store what's in memory [18:15] janisozaur, ext3, but i'm not sure... :) [18:16] hi [18:16] irv: he doenst have his ram full; if you only use 1gb of a total 4gb ram then 1gb swap works fine [18:16] irv: it will just abort the hibernate if your swap is to small to fit the current memory [18:16] amskinner, I certainly use more than 1gb of ram [18:16] but yeah most of the time the real use will be far less then your total memory due to caching [18:16] then forget i said anything [18:16] patrunjel, there should ba a tool (perhaps installed by default/availble in live image) that allows to resize ext3 volumen [18:17] Hi! I've done the steps Softpedia suggested to fix the Plymouth logo... just used 1366x768 (my screen's native res.) instead of 1280x1024. Now the logo is even bigger... should I try 1280x1024, even though my screen's native resolution is 1366x768? [18:17] patrunjel, gparted should use that, so you should be safe [18:17] 有人吗？ [18:17] patrunjel?romania?

[18:23] irv: normally windows shouldnt make a separate partition like that, are you using a retail disk or something prepackaged ? [18:23] gnugr1: I did EXACTLY that... just with 1366x768 (my screen's native res.) not 1280x1024. [18:23] I don't get it .. how can ubuntu provide ubuntu-xen-server but tht depends on xen-tools pkg that is not available ? [18:23] straight from VLSC [18:23] patrunjel: well you have a partition with 300gb and one with 80gb. Why don't you just use the 300gb for /home and the 80gb for /usr/local ? [18:24] windows 7 has made it every time i've installed it [18:24] from various volume license disks [18:24] hmm [18:25] i'll get you the actual name of the partition 1sec [18:25] irv: the system reserved partition [18:25] irv, system reserved [18:25] can anyone tell me how to install g++ 4.6? there are some dependency errors when I try to install from the 'ubuntu-toolchain-r' repository === marcos is now known as Guest56147 [18:25] dec3pti0n: done a 'sudo apt-get update' recently? [18:26] bloops, oooh, they have a ppa/repo? can i have a link to that? [18:26] yeah that's it.. after doing a bit of reading, you can stop it from creating that by pre-formatting the partition [18:26] janisozaur: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/ [18:26] nyuszika7h: i have some ideas but its in Greek Ubuntu forum: http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=13436 [18:27] gnugr1: So, any further ideas? [18:27] so i'll create a 100gb partition at the start of the disk for windows followed by my 4GB swap followed by 100gb linux followed by the rest in an NTFS partition [18:27] sounds good? :D [18:28] bloops, but their gcc is soooo old... [18:28] irv: yeah but you want it for things like bitlocker and such. you can just leave the small partition and put the ntfs and swap inside their own extended partitions [18:28] how can I configure hotmail calendar in evolution ? [18:28] bloops, scratch i was looking at wrong row :P [18:28] so you get system parition,windows7,ubuntu,extended{swap,data disk(NTFS)} [18:29] is that the best way to set that up? ;] [18:29] bloops, no, i was right. the maverick version more than 3 months old [18:29] is there a command to list the function definitions of an header? [18:30] i just hate extended partitions, but that's my ocd [18:30] irv: that depends on how you define the benchmark [18:30] bloops, and failed to compile [18:30] irv: nothing wrong with extended partitions really [18:30] what are the down sides to putting the swap and data inside an extended partition [18:30] janisozaur: yes, but its still 4.6, where does it say failed to compile? [18:30] Is it possible to configure hotmail calendar in evolution ? [18:31] Guest56147: Evolution has its own caldendar [18:31] bloops, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test/+packages and expand the gcc-4.6 / maverick entry [18:31] jrib, hi, sorry, i was afk, you said this "well you have a partition with 300gb and one with 80gb. Why don't you just use the 300gb for /home and the 80gb for /usr/local ?" , is there a way to do it? [18:31] irv: none that matter, i think ubuntu by default dumps everything in one big extended partition to begin with [18:32] patrunjel: yes, do you actually have anything in /usr/local? [18:32] bloops, I'd rather host my own - of which i was thinking either way [18:32] jrib, i mean, to change them, without losing data or reinstalling the OS [18:32] gnugr: As I see, it talks about different themes, not about fixing Plymouth's resolution... [18:32] janisozaur: hmm I see. [18:32] jrib, yes, OS files and stuff, but i never added nothing to /usr [18:32] bloops, unless i'd switch to natty. or fedora :P [18:32] janisozaur: oh have you built gcc 4.6? [18:33] patrunjel: /usr/local would only have things you compiled which really shouldn't be that much if you are asking these questions to be honest === brian is now known as Guest48094 [18:33] patrunjel: I'll be back in 10 minutes [18:33] bloops, not yet; i was thinking of it, because i didn't know there were packages with it [18:33] jrib, ok :) [18:34] hlw [18:34] nyuszika7h: check also this: http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13553 [18:34] bloops, but since i want to switch to natty soon and they have (seemingly) working versions for natty, i might not have to [18:34] alrighty, running the win7 installer now. have a 100mb system reserved partition and a 100gb ntfs partition as #2. all the rest should be created during linux install i imagine [18:34] janisozaur: hmm, is there any option to get gcc 4.6 in maverick other than compiling it from source? [18:34] irv: yup [18:35] is natty completely stable yet? [18:35] janisozaur: which isn't going to be a piece of cake i guess [18:35] mattgman: its not released [18:35] !natty | mattgman [18:35] mattgman: 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 currently intended for production systems. [18:35] mattgman, beta 2 is due tomorrow [18:35] as a general rule, how bad are unauthenticated packages? my mate (no linux knowledge) tried to install skype and now it's moaning about them [18:35] well, was talking about the beta [18:36] bloops, no idea. but compiling from source isn't too bad [18:36] bloops: compiling from source is fairly trivial unless it requires some major library overhaul first [18:36] name_anthony: he prioberl just dosent have the skype repo key setup [18:36] aye name_anthony [18:36] bloops: but looking at that ppa it seems you just need to update binutils [18:36] bloops, then you just do a 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install' and you get nice little .deb :) [18:36] Hi again! I tried it with 1280x1024, and now it's EXACTLY the same -- nothing changed. I think I can live with it, since Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't display a logo at boot, only some text... hope they will fix it in Natty. [18:37] Dr_Willis, mattgman cheers. going ahead regardless. already had to flatten his system form him messing it up like this and can't be bothered starting again from scratch. thanks very much for the info :) [18:37] bloops, but considering how 'high-profile' gcc is, they might provide *proper* debian buld-pkg info that will get you semi-official build [18:37] I just got 10.10 completely installed updated and running nicely. finally figured out how to get EVE working correctly, so I'm set with this for a bit [18:38] evenin all [18:38] janisozaur: hmm, I am going to try what you and acicula said [18:38] bloops, now? if so, i might stick around a bit more and if not, then i'm out of here [18:39] how do i remove x has quit from showing up? [18:39] janisozaur: yes I'm trying now. thanks a lot if you decide to stick around :) [18:39] bloops, then /msg me [18:40] mattgman: depends on your irc client [18:41] patrunjel: ok back. Can you pastebin /etc/fstab? [18:41] acicula, xchat-gnome [18:41] nyuszika7h: first " sudo gedit /etc/default/grub " find the line " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=792" " and change it with your size, then " sudo update-grub " [18:41] name_anthony: in most cases there is no reason for a package to be unauthenticated if it comes from a repository, depending on where you are you are in the workd you might want to make sure packages are authenticated [18:43] mattgman: i dont know how to set that option in xcaht-gnome, maybe there is a configration setting called channel events or something similar?

Can you check? === roaming is now known as INFURNO [18:50] jrib, here is the paste of fstab. And use/local is not empty :) I have stuff in it, and if you say that there is what i compile, then i even have a motivation for everything in there :) [18:50] mattgman:how can i update bios? [18:50] jrib, sorry, forgot to paste the link :) http://ideone.com/ssXqy [18:51] gman, i went to the manufacturer's website to the device drivers section and found they added a slew of new updates. however, i did this while windows was installed. [18:51] patrunjel: you should reboot, choose recovery mode, transfer the data over, and then update your fstab. Then you'll use the 300gb for /home. Understand? [18:52] jrib, what do you mean by "transfer the data over" ? [18:52] gman, i would just check to see if there is a bios update for your computer. it removed a wierd "overheat" message everytime I rebooted ubuntu [18:52] jrib, do you actually mean just copy-paste? :) [18:52] Is there a way to capture the sound of a program, and store it in an audio file?

Move the old contents of /usr/local to /home, then update your fstab and reboot [18:55] Utcha: you can use "badblocks" to find them, but why trust your data to a dying disk?

Am I the only person with such problems or not? [19:15] !info nevernote [19:15] Package nevernote does not exist in maverick [19:16] Dr_Willis, I can read and write to the NTFS partition, thank you. I only need a way to get it to automount every time I boot up. [19:16] THis is an opensource clone for evernote [19:16] isn't the read/write for ntfs automatically installed?? [19:16] derjanni: well from what i can gather it sometimes works but not consitently. Tried switching the sata ports the drive is connected to? [19:16] Jenk: add a fstab entry. that url gives examples.. or use the ntfs-config tool [19:16] Jenk: as it should say in /etc/fstab, the fields are , , , , , and . As to what to put in them, refer to the ntfs-3g page. [19:16] egoflux, Yes. ntfs-3g [19:16] i haven't had an issue with ubuntu...it used to be one with slackware [19:16] egoflux: they mount 'on first access' not on boot. :) [19:17] Can anyone tell me why gnome-keyring isn't asking to add my ssh keys on loging? [19:17] login* [19:17] eblume, The first three I can mange, what do for options, dump and pass ? [19:17] well i guess its sactually gnome mounting them on the fly.. not the system [19:17] acicula: yes, both the ports and the cables. [19:17] I've accidently deleted the chat and the shutdown icons from the top panel, how can I restore them? [19:17] Jenk: 0 and 0 i think for the most part are used there. [19:17] eblume: yes i have compiz running , i dont know where the problem can be ! [19:17] !resetpanel | nyuszika7h [19:17] nyuszika7h: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:18] Jenk: The absolute safest thing to do is to refer to the documentation. Anything else and I could steer you wrong. 0 and 0 for dump and pass should be fine. for options, you'll put in whatever you were putting in after -o to the mount command. [19:18] derjanni: then i dont know either unfortunatly, it seems the drive does work for some people with some revisions of ubuntu, but i dont see why that is [19:18] Dr_Willis: Thanks! [19:18] Dr_Willis, eblume, Umm, I think that should be it. Thank you very much. :) [19:19] beharbunjaku: IIRC compiz is not a window manager, it's a desktop compositer. I thought it came with a window manager built in though. What happens when you type 'compiz &' in a terminal? [19:19] Now if I'd only get an answer for my hwinfo question... [19:19] Jenk: your welcome, but please read the manual! [19:19] Jenk: the ntfs-3g homepage has dozens of examples also and use for differnt options [19:19] er... hello, I'm just going to install Ubuntu Maverick (again... my ubuntu installation is screwed...). In the ubuntu website I see that they recommend to download and install the 32 bits version, is there a good reason for this? My laptop is 64 bits [19:19] jessicaBR: How many RAM do you have? [19:20] jessicaBR: I always found that confusing too. Personally, I'd never install a 32-bit OS with a 64-bit CPU. [19:20] eblume: its same like in pic, and in terminal i get this"compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png" [19:20] nyuszika7h, I think 4GB [19:20] jessicaBR: i think it's mostly because many apps aren't 64bit compatible yet [19:20] jessicaBR: Then 64-bit is fine. [19:20] eblume, Dr_Willis, Yes, I'll have a look there too, but simplified help can be available here which is best for someone who's new. Didn't mean to bother you without reading the manual. [19:20] egoflux: Can't you run 32-bit apps on 64-bit Ubuntu? (You can do that with Windows.) [19:21] egoflux: If that is the reason then it's a dumb reason, you can use 32 bit apps easily. [19:21] nyuszika7h: yes, you certainly can. === richard is now known as Guest53436 [19:21] that's what I was gonna ask [19:21] Jenk: rember you cant chown/chmod files on the ntfs filesystmes either. :) people often forget that. [19:21] beharbunjaku: What happens when you type 'metacity'? (compiz should unload.) [19:21] jessicaBR: I only have 3 GB, but I'm using the 64-bit version, too. [19:21] bbl [19:21] nyuszika7h, i see. Ok, gonna DL and install 64 bits then [19:21] 20:12 < nyuszika7h> My native resolution is 1366x768, but hwinfo lists 1024x768-24 as the best. How is this possible? Output: http://pastie.org/1792177 [19:22] Dr_Willis, I have absolutely no idea what chown/chmod does but I'll find out... Thanks for the pointer. [19:22] I have a server with 512MB of RAM and I still use 64-bit OS. There's no good reason I can think of to not use it. [19:22] * nyuszika7h waits for someone to say he has 256 MB of RAM and still uses 64-bit [19:22] eblume: i get this "Window manager warning: GConf key '/apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows' is set to an invalid value [19:22] Window manager warning: Workarounds for broken applications disabled. Some applications may not behave properly. [19:22] Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager."

These permissions can apply to the owner of the file, the group of the file, or all users. chmod changes the permissions, chown changes the owner and group. [19:23] beharbunjaku: Add --replace as the helpful hint hinted. [19:24] nyuszika7h: doubtfull someone would have upgraded to 64bit and still only have 256Megs ;) [19:25] how come http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download doesnt work? [19:25] where would i download the server edition? [19:25] eblume: it looks normal , im using compiz-icon , and i have the problem just this compiz not with metacity [19:25] eblume, That's informative, but a bit too much for me right now. I'll read up on it, TY ! [19:25] erm... btw, what distinguishes a 32 from a 64 bits laptop? The processor? How can I check that? [19:26] how do you get unity to work on 11.04 x64? [19:27] jessicaBR: the processor type [19:27] gizmobay : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [19:27] hello ppl [19:28] roeland: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [19:28] acicula, my processor is a Pentium (R) DUal-Core CPU T4500@2.30GHz. Can you tell me if it's a 64 bits_ [19:28] anyone can sugest a powerful wireless router (power >= 1 watt) [19:28] hi! is there a way to use gnome 3 instead of 2 with ubuntu 10.10? [19:28] jessicaBR: it might be, sec [19:29] you can try gnome session [19:29] beharbunjaku: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=compiz+no+window+decorations [19:29] jessicaBR: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42925 , its a 64bit processor [19:29] acicula, thank you very much for that info! [19:30] jessicaBR: yw [19:31] in ubuntu 10.04(lucid) update-manager wants to update the dhcp3-client, in fear of allowing this, i thought i would ask, has anyone had unexpected behavior from this update [19:31] This website is a god damn lie: http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=274&Itemid=191 [19:31] derjanni: And that has to do with Ubuntu because? [19:31] Eighteens: i think its a security update that is designed to prevent unexpected behaviour ;) [19:32] shipship, try. searching gnome-session in synaptic [19:32] acicula, thank you [19:32] erm... I'll keep bothering until you guys kick me offf the channel :) I'm a gnome enthusiast, do you think Fedora is the best operating system for a Gnome guy? [19:32] Eighteens: what are you worried about regarding unepected behaviour, are you updating a server? [19:32] Pici: For many people the drive doesnt work in Ubuntu, but the website says it works with any Linux. [19:33] acicula, it's a machine with a webserver on it, afraid of loosing uptime [19:33] is there a video editing tool i can use to change the black bars in widescreen video to a background pic === ghost_lemon is now known as busing [19:34] Eighteens: heu considered switching to a static ip adress instead of dhcp? the update will have to restart the dhcp proces, but i dont think it will take down the network interface for that [19:34] *to do that [19:34] Eighteens: if it matters, test first? [19:34] so, why isn't ubuntu using gnome 3? [19:34] acicula: the problem (ubuntu jerking every 1-2 seconds) disappears after deinstalling the nvidia proprietary drivers, but thats no solution for me at all [19:35] acicula: thanks again, much appreciated! [19:35] egoflux: because it was released only a few days ago, and ubuntu 11.04 has been in feature freeze for awhile now [19:35] ooooo [19:35] s1m0ne: are you using the ubuntu hardware drivers or the ones straight from the nvidia site? [19:35] cool...i just saw the new features and screenshots, it looks awesome [19:36] by ubuntu hw i mean the ones you can activate via the hardware driver tool in adminstration [19:36] Hi , I have a 500 GB HDD with 100GB Free , can i install ubuntu on this disk without creating a separate partitioning ? [19:36] meteor, what OS are you on currently? [19:36] no OS [19:36] that was a backup disk [19:36] hmm [19:36] i now wanna use for Ubuntu [19:36] honestly i would try and partition [19:37] acicula: thats the point i used more up-to-date drivers from the x-swat x-updates ppa. i just removed this and i am going now to install the standard ubuntu nvidia proprietary drivers. [19:37] you can partition a disk with data on it [19:37] meteor: if you absolutely cannot partition it (remember that it's usually possible to 'shrink' an existing partition), then yes, it CAN be done... it's just not easy. [19:38] Can i shrink the volume when i have booted from a Live CD [19:38] yes [19:38] from the Partitioning screen? [19:38] meteor: Probably! You'll want to start up gparted [19:38] yes [19:38] meteor: or use the default install process [19:38] hi , im having problems with 10.10 , network connections are really slow, ive tried disabling IPv6, but it was deactivated from start... so , im out of options or my google skills arent as good [19:38] ok.. i will try this then.. [19:39] Thanks ViN86 , eblume [19:39] any time [19:40] Can a radius server make a pptp server more secure? [19:40] meteor: you have to resize your current partition to get unpartitioned space [19:40] I just downloaded vmware server rpm file. how do you run this? [19:40] !rpm [19:40] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [19:40] meteor, np [19:40] stustout: download .deb files [19:40] is there a specific channel for programming/development on here? or more importantly, for newbies to programming/development? [19:41] i tried #ubuntu-programming but it seems dead [19:41] sailingthrough: ##programming [19:41] Pici: thanks [19:41] thanks [19:41] sailingthrough: try a programming language like #c++ or other ones [19:41] stustout: Can I also recommend using KVM and not VMWare Server? I speak from experience here. [19:41] ciao [19:41] s1m0ne: any reason you need the drivers from that ppa? [19:41] thx [19:42] lolmatic: That's what I'm trying to get into. I stupidly decided to write my dissertation on DSP-implementation in audio plugins, despite having no prior understanding of programming.

[19:43] how do you secure pptp? === debd is now known as damno [19:43] acicula: hmm not really. i thought some things will be better, but that was stupid i think. ok now I am stuck to the console... and don't know how to install the drivers from the ubuntu repo [19:43] s1m0ne: that repo does not install the latest stable nvidia drivers (2.6.0) but the latest beta drivers(2.7.0) [19:43] stustout: try virtualbox, its open source and can most x86 systems [19:44] Isn't PPTP more or less secure already?

[19:45] is anybody running prelude here? [19:45] s1m0ne: did you remove the nvidia packages via apt-get yet? [19:46] acicula: yes, but know i am stuck to the console after restarting. i also removed the .list files from the ppa x-swat and did an apt-get update [19:46] psusi: you know where I can get info on using certificates [19:47] trying to alter the screen resolution in lubuntu with lxde. 800x600 is the max listed. how can I try 1024x768? [19:47] pentester123: other than spending a few days reading the man pages for openssl and experimenting? no [19:47] lol ok [19:47] thank you [19:47] is this the right place for a ubuntu 10.04 raid question?

[19:50] scipy: du -h /path/to/file [19:50] scipy: 'ls -s' [19:51] no dont think so [19:51] how do i access network shared folders in thunar? [19:51] how can i make my ubuntu desktop 3d [19:51] scipy: du and du -h will recursively show you the space used in a directory [19:51] or baobab for something gui like [19:51] Bipul`: get compiz [19:51] I just installed lucid(latest cd) and plymouth doesn't work. I get a mix of on(but black) with an underscore at the top left(like grub loading) and full black(as in resolution change) and then a flash of plymouth at the end showing a complete boot [19:51] Bipul`: type in a terminal 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' [19:51] ty guys [19:51] any ideas? [19:51] I'm running 10.10 on x86 from a laptop and my desktop keeps locking up (mouse freezes, display freezes). I can SSH in and "sudo restart gdm", but I'd really like to stop this from happening. It also only seems to happen when I connect an external monitor. I don't see anything relevant in the /var/log/syslog ... any idea what I can do to further debug this? [19:51] BlouBlou: Bipul` just enabling desktop effects will enable compiz [19:51] and 3d [19:52] 3d desktop thingies anyway [19:52] ok [19:52] acicula: Yeah, but I think he means 3D Cube [19:52] BlouBlou: ah ok [19:52] well about that compiz doestnt work here to , even if i enable effects [19:52] when i do ls --help, i get many pages. How can i see it page by page? [19:52] steve1: what gpu do you have and did you install any drivers for it? [19:52] I am new to ubuntu though not to linux How do I tell if my openchrome vga driver is working . I suspect I am on a vesa driver [19:52] I just installed the upgrade of 11.04 beta, but when it finished and the system rebooted I did not get my normal grub options. Instead it tried to go directly into Ubuntu , to finish the upgrade I guess. But all I get is "H.V frequency over range" I'm sure it has to do with the new Nvidia package but I cant get into a vga mode or anything any body have an idea? [19:52] Bipul`: you can enable the cube in the compiz config settings manager [19:52] ls --help | more [19:52] scipy: ls --help | less (or see man ls) [19:52] ty [19:53] martin_: you can look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:53] lolmatic, setting manger? [19:53] martin_: vesa also locks your resolution to 800x600 or something silly [19:53] ok [19:53] no i am on 1200x768 [19:53] 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'< Bipul`: install what I told you, you'll be able to configure your compiz settings, and customize it [19:53] Bipul`: you need compizconfig settings manager [19:53] jabo5360, try the #ubuntu+ channel. its for natty [19:53] jabo5360: hold shift when booting, select rescue option and then purge all nvidia driver package [19:54] Enyone knows "error: stray ‘\320’ in program" what that means in C [19:54] BlouBlou, yes i have gone through you commands now what ? [19:54] jabo5360: Please stop asking in this channel, you've been told that #ubuntu+1 is the only place where 11.04 is currently supported. [19:54] acicula: lspci shows "Intel Integrated Graphics Controller" and "nVidia GT218". I'm not sure really which is which. I didn't install any third party drivers for those. [19:54] milen8204: Please ask in ##C, that is out of scope for #ubuntu [19:54] steve1: it means you have two gpu's [19:54] Pici, ok sorry [19:54] Bipul`: System >> Preferences >> Compiz config... [19:55] Bipul`: preferences or administration [19:55] Hi. I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application). [19:55] one more question, I have a slow external CDROM that i have used to boot Ubuntu 10.04, Now i can access the data on my Hard drive, There i have 10.04 ISO, Can i mount that Image to install ubuntu on the same drive, because i am afraid the CDROM drive is not good enough [19:55] hola [19:55] RishavT: you can put it in ~/.local/share/applications too [19:56] hola alguno k me diga komo ago funcionar al cam aki en ubuntu [19:56] . I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application). Now when I drag that onto the gnome-panel, it pins. But on dragging pictures to the icon, multiple instances open up. I want all pictures to open up (with nfuploader) but in a single instance. [19:56] !es | kikito [19:56] kikito: 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. [19:56] steve1: dont really have any ideas as to why it may be locking up beyond a driver issue. could try disabling the discrete gpu in the bios of the laptop and see if that helps anything? [19:56] k no me deja en ninguno xe [19:56] acicula: that's worth a shot. thanks. [19:56] Hello [19:57] steve1: the whole hybrid gpu thing is kinda new, might also be worth checkking out the natty beta2 release in a few days to see if that resolves anything [19:57] acicula: is there any way to unlock it other than "sudo restart gdm" [19:57] how can i see what resources are used from cli? [19:57] scipy: what sort of resources? [19:57] Guys, I want to ask yuo which linux file system is first? [19:57] steve1: im not sure what you mean [19:57] VCoolio: actually my question was incompelte, I pressed enter by mistake. Here's the complete question: I am creating a .desktop file (launcher) for my application (which I will be placing in /usr/share/applications). Now in the "exec" section, I have written "nfuploader %f" (nfuploader's my application). Now when I drag that onto the gnome-panel, it pins. But on dragging pictures to the icon, multiple instances open up. I wan [19:57] cpu, mem used [19:58] gedO: First? What do you mean? [19:58] scipy: top (press q to quit), free [19:58] meteor: you can loopback mount the cd iso and try adding it as a repository [19:58] gedO: ubuntu uses ext4 [19:58] is anybody here using prelude? im having troubles configuring it [19:58] to unlock it, I have to SSH in and "sudo restart gdm", but that essentially logs me out, losing all my open windows. I'd prefer to just refresh the display or something (like what Monitors does perhaps?). [19:58] meteor: not sure if the gui installer will let you do that though [19:59] !ext4 | gedO [19:59] There are many file systems [19:59] !ext | gedO [19:59] meh [19:59] hmm, ok, i give it a try , thanks [19:59] gedO: Yes, there are. What is your question about them? [19:59] RishavT: I assumed that, just pointing it out, saves you sudo trouble; is there a use flag for nfupload to handle multiple files? man nfupload or nfupload --help [20:00] hi lady !!!! sex now !! [20:00] steve1: ah like so, no if it really hangs it really hangs, there might be som sysrq three finger salute keycodes that work but you need kernel support for those [20:00] which is firsty used [20:00] ty Pici [20:00] which is first :D [20:00] :D [20:00] oldest :D [20:00] steve1: you can enable ctrl-alt-backspace via xorg.conf [20:00] gedO: Check wikipedia, thats not really relevant to Ubuntu. [20:00] steve1: that sometimes lets you kill the Xserver, but if it really freezes that wont work either [20:01] acicula: cool. I really appreciate your help. [20:01] Hi. I'm having some problems with unity on 10.10 - the screen flashes showing distorted and skewed colours before it starts programs aswell as drop-down menus and small action boxes appearing in the same manner. Is this a problem with unity or my graphics? [20:01] I think ctrl-alt-backspace has been disabled. It can be turned back on, but it hasn't worked for me for a few versions [20:02] !dontzap [20:02] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [20:02] steve1: np, wish i could be more helpfull [20:02] that's it Pici, thanks! [20:02] Seven_Six_Two: no problem :) [20:02] oh steve1 see the ubottu note about dontzap, that is what i meant [20:02] Okay, right now, my graphics have gone really messy and skew-ey, since i installed unity. [20:03] so no xorg.conf anymore i guess [20:03] acicula: If it exists it will be honored. [20:03] acicula: heh, nice package name. thanks. [20:03] acicula, it's not that xorg.conf won't work, it's just not used by default. If there is one, it will be used [20:04] Ah ok [20:05] hello [20:05] Hi all, I'm looking for a program that can "zoom" my deskop, or provide just a zoomed window to look through. Compiz is breaking Vino, so is there anything else? [20:06] anyone out there know anything about running a web server? [20:06] agentgasmask, I believe there is an option for zoom in accessability features [20:06] wjd86, yes. use apache2 and read the docs. [20:06] is anybody here using prelude? im having a hard time configuring it [20:07] wjd86, but if you have trouble with the directives, #httpd [20:07] hello ubuntu experts ;) i have some issues wit the gnome main menu. probably a easy one and im happy to provide relevant information. anyone feel free to give me 5 minutes? ;) [20:08] !ask [20:08] 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. :-) [20:08] Seven_six_two im actually past that point, i have a server set up [20:08] but its running internally [20:08] Hey there, anytime I try to ssh to my remote server, it takes FOREVER for the username/pw prompt to show up... any thoughts on how to speed this connection up? putty on my windows partition is almost instantaneous... [20:08] wjd86, nice, that was quick! [20:09] jacobfogg: you can connect using -v so ssh is more verbose about what its doing [20:09] :P I'm kind of stuck on static IP [20:09] trying now [20:09] wjd86, which part? do you have a static ip? [20:09] thanks for the correction im new to irc ;) question - when clicking places links the folder opens up in vlc?!? xD [20:10] Test [20:10] i installed libquartz-java on ubuntu. how do i start it up? [20:10] my router has the option and i checked the box, put the same address that was in ifconfig | gres inet on my server but then i wasnt able to access the webpage from my browser anymore [20:10] digikwondo: you can change the program associated with that type by right clicking it and then editing its properties [20:10] or able to connect via sftp [20:11] It hangs on this: [20:11] wjd86, is your router doing static dhcp? [20:11] debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic [20:11] debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information [20:11] Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_1000' not found [20:11] debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information [20:11] Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_1000' not found [20:11] jacobfogg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:11] debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information [20:11] acicula: when rightclicking folder opens up in vlc anyway ;( [20:11] digikwondo: eh what filebrowser are you using [20:11] Seven_six-two just realized what your name refers to.. :P yes i believe its dchp, should i change that? [20:12] wjd86: it shouldnt make much difference unless your assigned ip changes [20:12] Sorry... let me try that again... When I ssh to my local server using the -v option this is where I get hung up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/593708/ [20:12] wjd86, there could be a few reasons. some routers will do static dhcp (router will give same ip to a mac address each time) or there is actual static ip, which has to be set on the server. [20:13] acicula: its a ubuntu 10.10 with nautilus 2.32.0 [20:13] hm [20:13] digikwondo: try the other button? kinda of odd for nautilus to behave like that with a directory [20:13] wjd86, also note, depending on your router, you might have to put an entry in your hosts file that links your server's ip to the domain name (for internal use ony) [20:14] wjd86, there are also settings in routers for static ip's on the WAN side, which you have to have from your isp. You can't just change a setting to get one. [20:14] acicula: everything in the places menu opens in vlc except "computer" witch loads nautilus ok [20:14] can you break it down as you were talking to an elemntary student :P i just started all this yesterday [20:14] salut [20:15] wjd86, ok. internet service providers don't give static ip's to homes (in most cases), and never if you didn't request one. [20:15] digikwondo: oh like so,are these all files? [20:15] ah ok [20:15] wjd86: your web server is reachable just fine [20:15] why doesnt mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2 work?? [20:15] lol? [20:16] wjd86: how are you determining its not working [20:16] the static is off atm [20:16] i reverted settings when it was down [20:16] wjd86, what make and model of router is it? [20:16] it says mv: inter device failed; unagle to move: is a directory [20:16] *inter-device move failed [20:16] acicula: its standard links/folder icons in the places menu that opens in vlc . thanks for your time btw ;) [20:16] linksys, wrt54g2 [20:17] wjd86, custom firmware? (openWRT, Tomato, etc)? [20:17] nope [20:18] hello i installed libquartz-java but when i type libquartz-java in terminal it says command not found? [20:18] saal7193: that's because it's a library [20:18] wjd86, ok, I'm fairly sure stock wrt firmware doesn't do internal static dhcp. [20:18] hey, anyone know any problems with sunjava not installing right on 11.4? [20:18] baslisks: try #ubuntu+1 [20:18] acicula, thanks [20:18] wjd86, so if there's a setting, that's for WAN and you likely don't have one (it would have to be static for your internet to work) [20:18] i havent tinkered with it [20:18] digikwondo: idk why that happens [20:19] I'm having issues installing snmpd on a 10.04 server, I keep getting a "dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128" [20:19] wjd86, if you want your server to have a static ip, you have to set it on the server itself. [20:19] options are; static ip, dhcp automatic, ppoe, etc [20:19] why can't I move: mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2, it says cannot create special file ".....cgisock.1447" : operation not permitted [20:19] oh i see thanks BlouBlou [20:20] ok, how can i do that seve/ [20:20] acicula: thanks anyway ;) do you know if there is a "gnome" channel i could ask this question in? [20:20] saal7193: You're welcome [20:20] digikwondo: #gnome [20:20] wjd86, yeah, that's WAN. There is only one setting that will work for you, and it depends on your isp. do you use cable or dsl? [20:20] acicula: could have guessed that cheers! [20:21] hi [20:21] where can i find the config from cpufreq? [20:21] dsl, im 99% [20:21] sure [20:21] Hi, how do I remove hidden status on a folder? [20:21] nyuszika7h: remove the first '.' [20:21] wjd86, what isp? [20:21] nyuszika7h: remove "." in name [20:21] att [20:21] nyuszika7h: the first fot [20:21] dot [20:21] nyuszika7h: remove the first dot in the name [20:21] anyone?? [20:21] erm... guys, I'm trying to reinstall my ubuntu system. Right now I'm with LiveCD, what should I do to repair my previous installation? [20:22] BlouBlou: B-r00t: thanks [20:22] wjd86, I think att is dsl. so if your modem is bridged, you'd use pppoe, otherwise dhcp. [20:22] so pppoe will aloow me static? [20:22] Seven_Six_Two: You can use dhcp with pppoe IIRC, it's been awhile. [20:22] But I think you can [20:23] jessicaBR: reinstall: click the install button on desktop; repair: depends on what's broken [20:23] please??!! [20:23] jessicaBR, what happened or went wrong on your install, give some details pls [20:23] Can't install snmpd, anyone have an idea? [20:23] Seven_Six_Two: Just saw your reply. Thank, but I found a program called xzoom. looks like it will work. [20:23] Camer0n123: What was your problem again? I don't see it. === Guest26008 is now known as ssfdre38 [20:23] dont worry, its because of my file system, I cant fix it [20:23] Does LibreOffice work with the Qt Raster backend enabled? OpenOffice does not [20:24] Camer0n123: Err ok. [20:24] lol [20:24] How can I copy a folder's all contents, including subfolders? [20:24] Camer0n123: are you getting any error? any message? what happens with your file system...? bla bla bla... :P [20:24] Kyle__, not if it's bridged. the pppoe connection will return the ip, so dhcp isn't needed. dhcp alone won't establish a pppoe connection. [20:24] why can't I move: mv /opt/lampp2 /opt/lampp/lampp2, it says cannot create special file ".....cgisock.1447" : operation not permitted [20:25] Camer0n123: use it with 'sudo' [20:25] yeah, tried that [20:25] when i try to run dragon age 2 theres no sound and it looks like its in windowed mode but with resolution all wrong [20:25] Camer0n123: same error or different one? [20:25] same [20:25] wjd86, no pppoe is like dialing in, with a username and password. whether it's static or dynamic is set by att. If it's residential account, you don't have a static ip. [20:25] ls [20:26] Seven_Six_Two: I know DHCP can't initiate a pppoe connection, but like I said been awhile since I've used it. [20:26] kk ill call and get them to give me a static [20:26] whats the best way to have my /home/user/downloads folder point to a folder on a different dev? [20:26] thanks seven, ill be back im sure [20:26] wjd86, for example, I have a static ip (bought from isp) but I still connect with pppoe. My isp assigns the same ip each time even though I'm using pppoe. [20:27] nyuszika7h: cp -r folder destination You can use "man cp" to see what other options you can use with cp. [20:27] kk [20:27] CrunchyChewie: symlink or edit .config/user-dirs.dirs [20:27] BluesKaj, everytime I launch ubuntu i get an error message: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. Your server, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself" [20:28] VCoolio: awesome, thanks! Trying to save space on the SSD by pointing the biggest hog folders to a 1TB HDD [20:28] wjd86, but my modem is bridged (so my router establishes the connection). If it wasn't bridged, I would have to set my router to dhcp to get an address from my mode. [20:28] modem. [20:28] jessicaBR: Are you running ubuntu server or desktop? [20:29] Kyle__, desktop. ubuntu maverick === root is now known as Guest98243 [20:29] jessicaBR, what graphics card do you have ? [20:29] quatch: did you have a look on winehq on how to get it to run with wine? [20:29] hiiiiiiiiiii [20:29] jessicaBR: Check system->administration->addition drivers [20:29] i tried but no one answers me [20:29] no one seems to know [20:29] told me to try the latest wine and i did but same problem [20:29] Kyle__, I'm on LiveCD, should I do that now? [20:29] quatch: the website winehq [20:29] jessicaBR: Maybe there's a proprietary driver for your video card? If there is, it may fix the issue. [20:30] im using a large high def tv as a monitor though idk if thats why [20:30] jessicaBR: Err Maybe? I dont' recall how the live cd works for changes. [20:30] yeah i followed the instructions on winehq to install it [20:30] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [20:30] If anyone is interested, I disabled gssapi in my ssh_config file... that seemed to work. [20:30] BluesKaj, I have an Nvidia GeForce 310M. Sorry for the delay, didn't notice you talked to me [20:31] Guest98243: stop that === punjabibecks is now known as bubble_ [20:31] !nick > Seven_Six_Two [20:31] Seven_Six_Two, please see my private message [20:31] jessicaBR: You need the proprietary drivers for it to work properly iirc. Or maybe I'm wrong, and installing the updating the system will work, but I really think you need the proprietary ones. [20:32] quatch: what you can do is start winecfg and click on the audio tab, then make sure you dont have other things running that generate sound like a music player. Also in winecfg you can set a virtual desktop size and enable a virtual desktop, this runs the program in windowed mode while the program itself thinks it runs full screen === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux === carlos is now known as Guest49293 [20:32] oooh interesting thank you ill try that [20:32] haw I can get share lib of program? [20:32] jacobfogg: it tried some other form of authentication first? [20:32] hi..........! [20:32] should i close FF, empathy? do those effect noise? [20:33] seba_: in a console running ldd /path/to/binary will list the libraries it uses [20:33] but Kyle__ how am I supposed to do that? All I can do is to use the terminal, which commands should I use? === Guest49293 is now known as Cev [20:33] !hybrid [20:33] !nick > Cev [20:33] Cev, please see my private message [20:33] Kyle__, right now I'm using LiveCD. Don't think changes here will be kept for the other installations [20:33] jessicaBR, if you can get to the desktop in low graphics mode , open admin /HW and choose the recommended diver and enable it , then it should install and ask for reboot ..do this on the ctual install not on the live cd [20:33] jessicaBR: can you disable the discrete gpu in the bios? [20:33] jessicaBR: Oh. You mean you're not in graphics at all, livecd booted you into text mode? [20:34] Kyle__, no! I'm with grahics right now! [20:34] Kyle__, with live cd [20:34] BluesKaj, tell me how to do that [20:34] acicule: when i click the audio tab it tells me there is no audio driver currently specified in the regisrty [20:34] acicula, tell me how to do that [20:35] can someone recommend a good task scheduler [20:35] and a reccomended one has been picked for me [20:35] acicula: I think it tried gssapi first, then moved on after three attemps [20:35] could someone tell this ubuntu noob how to prevent the screen from going blank after being inactive for a while? [20:35] I can get only lib which use the program [20:35] jessicaBR: In graphics, from the system menu, go to "administration", then "additional drivers" [20:35] jessicaBR: nvm i thought you werent getting any graphics at all, try what BluesKaj suggests [20:35] hi..! [20:35] jessicaBR: then instead of rebooting just log out, that might work on a livecd to load the new drivers' [20:35] bounder, check your power settings and screensaver settings [20:35] how do i set it to open in a window like you described? [20:35] Cev, honestly, you're going to get kicked if you don't stop it [20:35] quatch: via winecfg [20:36] jessicaBR, I meant for you to use the existing ubuntu install if possible , not the live cd [20:36] Kyle__, ok, installing drivers [20:36] Have already checked power settings [20:36] Kyle__, I think I already did that with my original installation [20:36] under what tab? what settings do i choose? [20:36] emulate a virtual desktop? [20:36] jessicaBR: Out of curiosity, is this a mac-mini? [20:36] quatch: yes [20:37] quatch: also fill out a resolution [20:37] BluesKaj, I understand that. But how to do that with the terminal: "open admin /HW and choose the recommended diver and enable it" [20:37] ah see thats the problem [20:37] idk what to set resolution too [20:37] from cli how can i know what gnu destributioun my server is running? [20:37] Kyle__, my computer? This is an Asus K50IE [20:37] Seven_Six_Two thanks [20:37] quatch: pick something that is smaller then your current resolution === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [20:37] bounder, np! [20:37] jessicaBR: Oh ok. Just the only other device I've seen myself with that card is a mac-mini. [20:37] quatch: 1280x1024 will work [20:37] my current one is 1600x1200 [20:38] Kyle__, oh [20:38] Kyle__, is that good or bad? [20:38] can anybody tell me how to run those debconf configuration menus manually which start upon installation of certain packages? package is prelude-manager [20:38] from cli how can i know what GNU distributioun my server is running? [20:38] how do you uninstall xampp? [20:38] just delete /opt/lampp? [20:39] Seven_Six_Two, hopefully they dont try to charge me more :P [20:39] jessicaBR: I don't know to be honest, I was just curious, since I have a stack of 20 minis that will be turned into a cluster for the summer, and into student workstations for the fall. [20:39] Hello, I just installed Fluxbox (another X window manager), how can I shut down Gnome without shuting down my computer ? [20:39] kikuro: wtf? xD [20:39] Kyle__, nice [20:39] jessicaBR, no , I said if you can get to the desktop in low graphics mode, if not then hold the shift key down while booting , choose the recovery kernel in the grub menu, and choose repair broken packages in the dialog that appears , then sudo reboot [20:39] wjd86, they will. Definitley. That's if they even give you one at all. In Canada, we can only get static ip from major carriers on a business account. I had to go with an indie isp to get one (Teksavvy) [20:40] kikuro: you use gnome as your desktop environment [20:40] fluxbox is wm [20:40] B-r00t, yes, but I want to change that to be able to use fluxbox, isn't it possible at well ? [20:41] can anybody tell me how to run those debconf configuration menus manually which start upon installation of certain packages? package is prelude-manager [20:41] kikuro: in gdm you can select the environment when you login, its at the bottom [20:41] hey whats that thing that kinda like torrent some os's uses to distorobute iso's? its not bittorrent. I think it started with an e [20:41] Seven_Six_Two: huh, that rly blows [20:41] kikuro: on login screen (GDM) in sessions you have fluxbox session [20:41] BluesKaj, ahh, ok. If low graphics mode means having at least a mouse pointer on the screen, then I can't even run low graphics mode... :-/ Going to that shift thing [20:41] kikuro: if you install fluxbox it should show up there as a session [20:41] nvidia graphics drivers are taking too long... :( [20:41] jessicaBR, ok [20:41] ok, I check that :) [20:41] I don't really know why to install them here with LiveCD [20:42] wjd86, it does. You wouldn't get one from verizon or comcast (for different reasons) [20:42] How can I force rmdir to remove a directory even if it's not empty? [20:42] so, theres no way to make a dynamic account static? i dont feel like shelling out more cash to these guys [20:42] lolmatic: try with dpkg-reconfigure [20:42] nyuszika7h: dont think rm dir can, you can use rm with the -r recursive and -f force flag though, just be sure thats what you want and there are no typos [20:43] BluesKaj, why should I hold shift key down? I can launch recovery kernel without doing that, right? [20:43] how can i automatically connect with freenode server and #ubuntu channel when i click on XChat anyone please [20:43] jessicaBR, don'try to use the live cd to follow my procedure ,it has to be done from grub on the hard drive [20:43] nyuszika7h, you have to use rm -rf, but be VERY CAREFUL. Improper use WILL trash your system [20:43] Seven_Six_Two: I just wanted to empty a folder. On my USB flash drive. And it seems it worked. [20:43] BluesKaj, ah I got that [20:43] hmm i used those config settings but still no volume and looks the same [20:43] jessicaBR, yes if grub menu is accessible [20:43] when i open dragon age 2 [20:44] can see top and bottom ubuntu bars and IMs popping up [20:44] ok, thanks B-r00t and acicula :D [20:44] and no sound [20:44] BluesKaj, ok. I'll brb with feedback [20:44] kikuro: and join #fluxbox for help with fluxbox :) [20:44] nyuszika7h, that's good. some malicious people will try to get newbies to use it, and it's not safe. the -f switch disables "are you sure" and with a leading / everything goes "poof" [20:45] scipy: for ubuntu&co: lsb_release -a [20:45] ty guntbert [20:46] wjd86, no. if you want to run a server with a dynamic ip, look at services like dyndns.org [20:46] I just backed up my home folder, because I'll uninstall Maverick and install Lucid, because I found it stabler. There aren't much things, but just to make sure, I backed up my irssi settings, my IRC bot (actually, I did not make it, I just downloaded it) and node. [20:47] Could anyone tell me how long are LTS builds supported? [20:47] wjd86, or a better option would be to find an indie isp that will let you have one, and switch. Give your money to companies that will give you what you want. You'll still pay extra of course [20:47] nyuszika7h, 3 years desktop, 5 years server [20:47] I have a Ubuntu USB -- is there a way I can configure it to boot straight into the ubuntu desktop, and not ask me whehter I want to install? [20:47] Seven_Six_Two, rm -rf bye bye os lol [20:47] Seven_Six_Two: thanks [20:48] how can i find files in my filesystem that are not tracked by apt, except the obvious directories like /home /tmp and such? [20:48] bounder: start under XChat/network list - and there is a channel #s [20:48] hiexpo, yeah, I'm always worried that someone will flip out when I mention it, so I always follow with a disclaimer. The command isn't bad itself, just powerful... [20:48] bounder: and there is a channel #xchat (I wanted to say) [20:49] hiexpo: Once I installed kubuntu-desktop... and it mixed up things... I had Kubuntu software in Ubuntu and Ubuntu software in Kubuntu.

[20:50] need to install a 32bit .deb on 64bit 10.10, what is the easiest way to install 32bit support [20:50] semitones: you can perform a normal install on the usb stick or repackage a livecd [20:50] shomon: you have to configure wpa_supplicant [20:50] Seven_Six_Two, yes it isa very powerful tool and there is no rescue [20:50] !wpa [20:50] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:50] hi [20:50] ah thaks acicula ! [20:51] acicula, would there be any change in performance? I'd imagine that the live usb is better suited to running on a usb drive than a normal install [20:51] noisewaterphd, it depends on what the deb is, and what it's requirements are. [20:51] ty guntbert [20:51] wjd86: fwiw, I'm using dd-wrt firmware on my router, which has been working flawlessly with dyndns.org for nearly a year. [20:51] Just incase anyone was curious, if you are running an NIS server, snmpd won't install properly while NIS is running. Just turn off nis, then install snmpd, and then turn nis back on. Funny how easy it was. [20:51] my cpus don't speed up. cpufreq-info says it can clock from 800mhz t0 800mhz [20:51] also is it possible to do init 3 or 4 as you could in other distros ages ago, and boot with no X? [20:51] guis are overrated :) [20:51] scipy: lsb_release -a will tell you your current release [20:51] Seven_Six_Two: Oracle 10g Express [20:51] wjd86, and before I got a static ip, I used dyndns as well. It worked just fine [20:52] from cli, how can i get a hardwae description of the system: cpu, mem, hdd, ... [20:52] shomon: eh its differnt for debian/ubuntu [20:52] shomon: sec let me check [20:52] night folks! [20:52] thanks!

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [20:56] sounds like overkill.. ssh.. my old web dev server was windows based and i just shared my www root folder [20:56] so i could make changes directly [20:56] roeland: yeah you can just share the folders directly just like in windows [20:56] !msconfig [20:56] roeland: what is overkill about ssh? there is sshfs and the Places>connect to Server [20:57] !here | lolmatic [20:57] lolmatic: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:57] well.. i want to edit files directly using netbeans [20:57] roeland, ssh is never overkill [20:57] yep, ssh is easy and there's front ends if you really want them [20:57] how can I write ctrl+pgdn or ctrl+pgup in my .screenrc ? I'm trying to bind the first combination to 'next' and the second to 'prev' to switch between GNU Screen tabs [20:57] My time is wrong, whenever I set the time right it will be wrong again on reboot. How do I fix it definately? Can't it get the time from a time server somewhere? [20:57] industrial: you need a battery [20:57] sshfs is not the easiest way to do that, I would go samba/nfs before sshfs for continued development [20:57] gtroy: luckily this laptop has a huge one! [20:57] industrial: when you say off is it always off by the same amount? [20:57] industrial, bios battery. Consult the manufacturer of the computer. [20:58] smw: macbook pro. [20:58] samba / nfs is similar to shared folders in windows environement [20:58] industrial: see smw [20:58] lolmatic: i do not understand your language... run the command like this « LC_ALL=C apt-get install prelude-manager » so the error is given in english [20:58] ? [20:58] industrial, consult apple. [20:58] consult my ass [20:58] >:( [20:58] would it be better to install natty to a USB drive or make the 'live usb' persistant, if my goal is to have a persistant natty installation on a usb drive? [20:58] roeland: samba is exactly the same as windows share [20:58] roeland: exactly the same standards, just a little different to setup [20:58] anyone here know enough about rhythmbox/gstreamer that can help me troubleshoot a weird issue where the checkboxes for selecting individual tracks are missing? [20:58] industrial it's probably a cr2032 or something [20:58] roeland: nfs is also a filesharing system but not similar to windows shares/samba, i wouldnt bother with that [20:59] gtroy: gone [20:59] gtroy, lol. He just said "consult my ass >:(" and left. [20:59] agreed, for ease of setup, samba is the way to go - for secure file sharing or transfer of large files, nfs [20:59] on natty getting xorg panic when screen idles [20:59] smw: no need to repeat [20:59] on hdmi, any ideas? [20:59] i dont care about secure. it is on my local network only [20:59] for personal testing [20:59] if i run dragon age 2 in vmware will it be fast enoughh to play? [20:59] ...and for everyone else who can't support either of those two protocols, sshfs [20:59] anyone gotten 11 beta to work on a mac? i'm putting it on usb stick but mac won't recognize the boot device [20:59] roeland: easiest way on ubuntu is just browse to a folder you want to share and set it as shared in properties. in places you can browse the network to find your windows shares, or alternatively use connect to server to permanently create a connection to a windows share similar to attaching a network disk in windows [21:00] beefman: try #ubuntu+1 [21:00] roeland: smb all the way then [21:00] acilua, i am runnin server [21:00] k [21:00] not running a gui [21:00] quatch: I'd use wine if it works [21:00] royceremer, ssh is always the easiest because it is just one command to install :-). [21:00] roeland: eh then you have to edit the smb.conf in /etc directly [21:00] it wont i get no sound and the game looks like its in windowed mode [21:00] royceremer, unless you are serving files, ssh is all you need [21:00] kk [21:00] roeland: actually no, se [21:00] *SEC [21:00] ok [21:00] there are some userspace tools that let you manipulate smb shares from the console as well [21:01] smw: right, if you read his original request, it was to share files for his dev webserver [21:01] so cd.. is go back in one dir right? [21:01] trik: yes [21:01] royceremer, and I am saying that is what ssh is for. [21:01] how do I find out what wifi card I have? [21:01] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/ [21:01] hi, is it possible for a bash script to find if it is running in the background? [21:01] trik: cd ..

I forget which one [21:02] can I get terminal to ask for input before continueing the command? [21:02] acicula what userspace tools are you talking about [21:02] trik, yes with bash === punjabibecks is now known as bubble_ [21:02] explain please. [21:02] trik: man read [21:02] or in many scripting languages please [21:03] hi [21:03] hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this? [21:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/ <--- is there any way i can reinstall this and have the configuration be written by that subroutine i canceled at the first install? [21:03] hello, any ideas why my internet is super slow in ubuntu (regardless of browser) but not in Windows? [21:03] Psycho_Mario, google rules. http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/localfiles/infofiles/bash/bashref_54.html [21:04] roeland: sec , googling for it again, i used it not so long ago [21:04] VCoolio, link or explain to me? [21:04] hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this? [21:04] petisnnake: wireless? [21:04] trik try "help read" if it works [21:04] or just man bash [21:04] guntbert: cable [21:04] smw: thanks [21:05] petisnnake: then I see no reason at all - sorry [21:05] guntbert: and it's about 10 times slower [21:05] guntbert: oki thanks [21:05] I was trying to find a link for a nice bash tutorial that shows it, but there's hundreds really... [21:05] how to enable any port through terminal [21:05] !repeat ubuntu1 [21:05] shomon, what are you trying to do? [21:05] roeland: you can as a user add and remove shares using the net program [21:05] jiltdil, define "enable" [21:05] smw: it gives me the same output when running ./script.sh & and ./script.sh [21:05] roeland: so net usershare add myshare [21:06] ah ha [21:06] hi guyz, ive got a problem... http://screenshooter.net/5306627/13_04_2011__21_39_46 - ubuntu seems not to see my opened programs... how to fix this? [21:06] acicula, would there be any change in performance? I'd imagine that the live usb is better suited to running on a usb drive than a normal install? [21:06] "myshare" being the location i want to share4? [21:06] roeland: you can also use it to set permissions and the like [21:06] Psycho_Mario, it can not tell if it is running in the background like that. It can only tell if bash is running in interactive mode. [21:06] roeland: yeah if you just type in net usershare it will give you some options and explanations [21:06] cool [21:06] i want to say i want to make a connection to port 22 how to enable it that can my system can be accesed to ssh [21:06] now acicula, is that using samba? [21:07] or nfs? [21:07] roeland: in case you mess up just remove the shares using net usershare [21:07] smw; ah, i want the script to be able to see if & was appended to the execution [21:07] roeland: thats using samba [21:07] when are those /etc/cron.daily jobs executed? daily, yes, but when? on shutdown? [21:07] jiltdil, you just need to install ssh [21:07] smw; or rather, whether it had been put in the background as & would [21:07] jiltdil, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [21:07] smw, sorry I was trying to find some man page or help for trik [21:07] gotcha, and samba is installed in default installation? [21:07] Are there any email clients that can connect to Exchange 2010? IMAP/POP is not an option [21:07] actually i have installed it but by mistake the port 22 is closed [21:07] Psycho_Mario, I do not believe it can see that. [21:08] smw; hm okay, ill have to do it another way. [21:08] semitones: the liveusb stick or cd contains a compressed filesystem that is mapped onto a root mount point [21:08] jiltdil, are you sure ssh is running? By default ubuntu does not block ports [21:08] BajK: generally sometime after midnight [21:08] Psycho_Mario, I have an idea. Try it with nohup [21:08] I tried googling the answer for this. I have certain file types that I want to change the icons. I know if I right click and go to properties and it changes that one file icon, but how can I change all files with that extension ? [21:09] acicula: so its very different from a normal installation [21:09] smw>ya it is running i check service ssh status it is running [21:09] Psycho_Mario, with nohup it might see it is not in a normal shell. [21:09] err i meant semitones === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [21:09] roeland: idont think samba is installed by default [21:09] jiltdil: can you reach it from the host itself? [21:09] jiltdil, anything in /etc/hosts.deny ? [21:09] sudo ufw allow 22 [21:09] smw; the point is that im chucking a few commands in a bash script which syncs some files with wget, i want to be able to background it, and i might sometimes forget the &, and i want it to give me a message (notify-send) when the sync is done === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [21:10] trik: http://tinyurl.com/6gj3w8 http://tinyurl.com/3gpkq3l that kind of stuff [21:10] roeland: also i think this requires samba 3.0 [21:10] acicula, yeah, so it has to uncompress. but also doesn't it try to make a FS in the RAM so there aren't too many reads/writes to the usb, which slow it down? [21:10] is that correct [21:10] jiltdil, you use ufw? [21:10] smw; so nohup would have the same problem as & [21:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/593733/ <--- is there any way i can reinstall this and have the configuration be written by that subroutine i canceled at the first install? [21:10] yes [21:10] !samba [21:10] 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. [21:10] acicula: if i use apt-get will it grab 3.0? [21:10] please tell is it correct [21:10] guntbert:thanx [21:10] jiltdil, I do not know ufw [21:11] thanx [21:11] I can't seem to get video working on UNR 10.04 with any of the video players i have (vlc, totem/totem-gstreamer). Any ideas what could be wrong since i do get sound but no video (should have all codecs installed)? [21:11] semitones: it overlays a virtual memory based filesystem on top of the existing static filesystem [21:11] jiltdil, you did not mention you were using it :-\. [21:11] roeland: depends on your ubuntu version, apt-cache show will tell you [21:11] runnin 10.10 [21:11] jerzy, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed , if not do so. [21:12] Hey guys, i've just used ndiswrapper so I don't have to use some nasty reversed engineered broadcom driver but I can't seem to make the kernel load the new driver. Even though I've blacklisted it, the kernel module shows up as ssb for the PCI card when I run the command lspci -v. Any ideas? [21:12] sorry i forget to tell that [21:12] BluesKaj i do have it [21:12] jiltdil: no need for the < .. > around nicks [21:12] alrady did everything on every forum to try fixing it. [21:13] one other noob question: is there a packaged lamp setup i can get through apt-get? [21:13] i know i can manually do apache, then php then mysql [21:13] !lamp [21:13] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:14] jerzy, so you can not play any videos? [21:14] hmm thats kind of dated [21:14] hello [21:14] maybe someone know how to set deny permissions to other in file in ACL? [21:14] when i want to connect to my host through my guest via ssh it is saying connection timeout but reverse is happening why i am using virtualbox OS in NAT mode please help? [21:14] hiexpo: nope, and starting totem from terminal gives no error messages [21:14] just hear audio, no video [21:14] many formats tested [21:14] roeland: tough apt-get install should do it [21:14] acicula, would you recommend installing natty to a usb then? or modifying the liveusb? [21:15] hey can someone help me unity 2D [21:15] acicula: they mention this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server === sysadmin is now known as Guest57826 [21:15] I need some help with preseeding netboot installations [21:15] semitones: prolonged use of a usb stick as an os is something i advise against [21:15] jerzy, do you have mplayer , try that from the terminal [21:16] acicula: eh that sortof is a metapackage [21:16] jerzy, on any video player or just totem ? [21:16] roeland: that is sort of a metapackage === bubble_ is now known as bubble [21:16] I have a server that will netboot and manually install clients. but they aren't even attempting to hit the preseed file [21:16] roeland: you *can* use tasksel, but use it *only to install* lamp, NEVER to uninstall (I tell from very bad experience) === Guest57826 is now known as rjune === bubble is now known as bubble_ [21:16] helllloooooooooooo [21:16] hiexpo: on any i had tested, testing mplayer now [21:16] jerzy, ok [21:16] roeland: though in all fairness just hitting apt-get with packages will get you whatever it is you wanted [21:16] so in other words its better to manually install each component? [21:16] acicula, not for production, but for familiarizing myself with natty before its released. Would you still advise against it [21:17] I've set the menu configs as instructed to pass the preseed/url to the client [21:17] semitones: id just make a usb stick from the overnight build [21:17] semitones: a live cd stick i mean [21:17] jerzy, is this on 10.04 [21:17] acicula, ok that's what i was doing [21:17] hiexpo: yes [21:18] hiexpo: it finds the codec and everything in mplayer, just showing a black screen [21:18] acicula, but i wanted to install programs on it, update it, and boot straight to ubuntu desktop. Is that possible [21:18] jerz ok you have a conflict i had thathappenbefore i am trying to remember what it was [21:18] acicula, what was it you just sent to ubottu, about the thing you type in grub to start up without X? [21:18] sorry but it's scrolled off now... :/ [21:19] semitones: well it used to be possible to persist changes to a usb live stick [21:19] hiexpo: This is Ubuntu Netbook Remix just so you remember [21:19] shomon: no, but you probably want to add single to the kernel boot option [21:19] shomon: if you want single user mode [21:19] acicula, what do you mean "used to?" [21:19] ssh! === bubble_ is now known as bubble [21:19] semitones: it used to be possible [21:19] !ssh [21:19] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:19] acicula, is it not anymore? [21:19] ah, so there is no way to just switch to it after booting up normally? [21:20] jerzy, ok it was a gstreamer conflict [21:20] totem is unstable and clunky and iirc it also intereferes with other video player/codec calls [21:20] got a link for fix pr [21:21] shomon: eh init single or init 1 should do it i think [21:21] ok thanks! will try that... [21:21] shomon: might also be possible to get to single mode via the rescue boot option [21:21] semitones: as far as i can tell yes [21:22] should i purge totem and totem-gstreamer?

( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [21:39] what's the recommended way to start ubuntu without X (temporarily. not single user mode. mostly I just want to nuke my .kde directory when I'm *not* logged in so I don't have to watch the world implode around me) [21:39] acicula: Starting Ubuntu software Center, but it seems to Force Close [21:39] ya entendi [21:39] :) [21:39] genii-around: hm, yes, was aiming for ot, but tab tricked me, sorry. [21:39] Apollonovich: eh aside from uninstalling you can stop gdm from starting [21:40] Qui___: i do not understand, Force Close? [21:40] isn't it enough to edit /etc/issue and it will display a message uplon login? That's what I did and doesn't show... [21:40] Apollonovich: or kdm, if you're on a Kubuntu install. [21:40] jessicaBR, yes it means we need install the proper driver for your graphics card , at the tty ,sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , then sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [21:40] true. chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm ought to do it I imagine... [21:41] Apollonovich: you can stop gdm from starting by modifying the /etc/init/{x,g,k}dm config file. or just rename it to gdm.conf.donstart [21:41] Force Close = load and then dissapares [21:41] acicula: [21:41] Qui___: it shows the software sources menu and then disappears again? [21:41] acicula: does it matter im running from USB .iso ? [21:42] Qui___: no it shouldnt matter [21:42] hmm, I don't have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf... [21:42] !samba [21:42] 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. [21:42] Apollonovich: the init.d verison should just symlink to upstart, its the /etc/init version you want [21:42] BluesKaj, ok, gonna try that. Brb [21:43] acicula: I start from the meny, I can get a bar with the name. but it cant be opened, and the move showing its working. and then it just disapares. === mk is now known as Guest49791 [21:43] shomon: you create wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_passphrase [21:43] acicula: it looks like it wont open correctly and terminate itself [21:43] Qui___: thats odd, that should not be happening. the alternative is editing the /etc/apt/sources.list by hand. [21:44] trism, I just ran it, but I think I have to manually create that file and copy the output from wpa_passphrase in there [21:44] you can type gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and then look for lines that contain universe [21:44] acicula: ah, I knew there was a reason I was asking this in #ubuntu, instead of just treating it like slackware 7 :-P [21:44] Apollonovich: :) [21:44] on the other hand it's also in /etc/dbus-1/system.d [21:44] seven_six_two: arey ou there? [21:44] acicula: thats not a problem. what should I look for? [21:44] has anyone been able to install 11.04 over lan (pxe)? [21:45] shomon: yes, or: wpa_passphrase ssid | sudo tee /etc/wpa.conf; [21:45] if i set up multiple websites on a ubuntu box. what is the recomended location to put the sites, by default it looks like there is a www folder under /var [21:45] wjd86, if you can make it quick ;) I am just about to eat [21:45] Qui___: find the lines that contain universe, if they start with # deb or # deb-src remove the # [21:45] what is the /srv folder used for? [21:45] mutter does not work on my geforce optimus graphiccard. could somebody solve this problem? [21:45] roeland: think its the webserver root directory [21:45] ah good, well it-s done now, but I should use tee more! [21:46] thanks trism [21:46] mm /srv server files? [21:46] acicula: i will be using virtual hosts [21:46] acicula: # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick universe [21:46] so i plan on having several folders with different sites. just tryin to decide where best to place em [21:46] Qui___: yes [21:46] will remove the # infront of both lines [21:46] Qui___: just remove the # sign and then save [21:47] roeland, I keep mine in /var/www [21:47] please HELP! [21:47] Qui___: you can safely remove all the # signs in front of deb or deb-src if you want to add the other repositories, every line that starts with ## should not be edited [21:47] looking for a great text editor [21:47] acicula: how do I run sudo when I have to save the file from nano? [21:47] i gotcha seven_six_two [21:47] x_, vim [21:47] roeland: virtual hosts have little to do with physical file locations ;) [21:47] roeland: any comfortable, remember to set permissions [21:48] Qui___: you are root when you start with gksu [21:48] gotcha [21:48] Qui___: so you can use gedit to save the file drectly. But yeah you can also edit those files by using sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [21:48] acicula: [ Error writing /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied ] [21:48] acicula, nano isn't gui, is it? [21:49] Seven_Six_Two: its a console ditor yeah [21:49] acicula: ok let me try [21:49] Qui___, sudo nano [21:49] Qui___, or gksudo. in your case it doesn't matter === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [21:50] acicula: worked. [21:50] excellent [21:51] acicula: now I need iw, but apt-get install iw cant get it [21:51] anyone help? [21:51] Qui___: run apt-get update first [21:51] hi, I have a problem with my auto-load of the snd-hda-intel. When the computer starts..when I connect the headphones it doesn't recognize them. but if I rmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel...everything is ok...anyone has a hint? [21:52] l1nuxman: only if you ask first ;) [21:52] acicula, I did twice [21:52] this may not be the right place but i got an acer 5100 runing windows and wont recognised any usb just power the usb light on , i tryed udating bios , installing driver but nothing sems to make the work , any idea what might be wrong with it ? [21:52] forevertheuni: eh you rmmod/modprobe when its connected or before you connect the headphone [21:52] isn't it enough to edit /etc/issue and it will display a MOTD message upon login? That's what I did and doesn't show... [21:52] l1nuxman: oh sorry must have missed it [21:52] acicula: it will update my univers now aswell? [21:53] Qui___: yes [21:53] where are located the splash themes for GDM? (gnome) [21:53] acicula: ok, had runned that command 5 times today already :) [21:53] acicula, before connectng [21:53] actually I don't know.... [21:53] !whois wjd86 [21:54] l1nuxman: well motd is shown upon login [21:54] wjd86: /whois xxx !command's are for ubottu [21:54] l1nuxman: how is the motd generated? [21:54] thanks [21:55] where the hell did my sound go 0-o [21:55] if i never turn off my router, will i maintain an ip? [21:55] Bluebill-Wolf: away [21:55] assuming the power doesnt go out [21:55] acicula: ok, it worked perfectly now. I can use airmon-ng start wlan0 [21:55] wjd86: what ip? [21:55] ok how do i do the sudo command to have comptuer scan for the drivers? [21:55] wjd86: if its a dynamic ip it depends on your provider [21:55] internal or externa;l? [21:55] internal [21:55] acicula: thanks for your help [21:55] external [21:55] wjd86: probably not, [21:55] Qui___: sweet [21:55] :/ [21:55] l1nuxman: the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ determine the motd output [21:56] wjd86: check out no-ip or dynadns [21:56] so i have to buy the static ip from my isp correct? [21:56] wjd86: you can use dyndns to find your router [21:56] wjd86: not really :p [21:56] wjd86: unless you must have a static ip not really [21:56] hey BluesKaj, I tried updating and upgrading apt-get and then tried aptg-get install nvidia-current, but it says I'm already using the newest version... [21:56] well im setting up a web server [21:56] trism: but those are not called for every login right? [21:57] wjd86: yeah check out no-ip or dynadns and you won't need to have a static ip, they do stuff for you [21:57] wjd86 you can make small file polling your free hosting and update your ip [21:57] ok thanks [21:57] BluesKaj, right now I'm using another PC to talk in IRC, so it's more easy to execute things [21:57] hola [21:57] alguien me puede ayudar?

[21:59] formatee el primero para quitar el 11.04 y volver al 10.10 [21:59] forevertheuni, I remember adding other repositories to install gtk+3 [21:59] jose: english! [21:59] pero la sorpresa es q cuando le doy (en el grub) para que me arranque el xp o el 7 solo me funciona el 7... cuando le doy al xp se me reinicia solo el ordenador [22:00] lol [22:00] * Bluebill-Wolf face paws [22:00] bueno antes que nada si no hablas ingles deberias entrar a la sala #ubuntu-es [22:00] so that no-ip just redirects traffic to my server? [22:00] still waiting on that answer >.> [22:01] pudiste instalar ubuntu 10.10 y te sale los 3 OS en el grup?

[22:01] jessicaBR, I use ubunt-x-swat it usually has the last version [22:01] trism: eh ok, so how does /etc/issue fit into that then [22:01] forevertheuni, what is ubuntu-x-swat? [22:02] I can't get magic lamp effect to work with minimize action in Unity [22:02] How do I have the computer scan for the drivers so I don't have to reinstall the os again? [22:02] its a ppa repo that installs newer versions of nvidia drivers in your ubuntu [22:02] not sure if that will solve your problems though [22:02] preferably in english? [22:02] Bluebill-Wolf what drivers? [22:02] sound drivers [22:02] it the comptuer can't find any of them [22:03] jessicaBR, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat [22:03] hmm one moment [22:03] hi people! [22:03] Bluebill-Wolf: you don't have sound? [22:03] acicula: I don't know that it does [22:03] trism: k, thanx [22:04] anyone to show me a link for dw1501 wireless-n wlan half-Mini card driver?! [22:04] forevertheuni, this is where I got the repository for the gtk+3. Can that repository screw all my system? Should I remove the repositories? How can I do that? [22:04] what's the problem with your system? [22:04] my ubuntu 10.10 its logging out by it self !! how can i fix that [22:05] forevertheuni, with "this" I mean launchpad [22:05] u're hacked [22:05] just start synaptic settings repos..and take them out [22:05] darxeth: me? [22:05] WWW: Logging out or screensaver locking? [22:05] then update upgrade [22:05] WWW: Please clarify, what do you mean logging out by itself? [22:05] forevertheuni, everytime I launch ubuntu it sends me to console tty... X is not launched [22:06] forevertheuni: that does not remove ppa's, you can use the ppa-purge tool to remove packages from a ppa and downgrade, but its not exactly bullet proof [22:06] i am doing something on my pc and its just logging out its not a screensaver locking [22:06] hi [22:06] it says [22:06] forevertheuni, I just did that [22:06] !him [22:06] !hi [22:06] jessicaBR, do you know the error? [22:06] BluesKaj, told me to do that too [22:06] in Xorg logs? [22:06] WWW: X chrash? [22:06] does anyone know if 2.6.38 supports TRIM on partitions encrypted with dm-crypt? [22:06] try to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if you can have something [22:07] forevertheuni, yes, it says "no screens found" [22:07] my system has eaten through 3 ssds in the past month [22:07] B-r00t: hmm dont think so its just 1 sec and then log in screen [22:07] forevertheuni, before that I get (EE) No drivers available [22:07] no errors [22:07] visual1ce: what kind of ssd? [22:07] the edges are gone ?? [22:07] and i cant move the terminals [22:07] WWW: sounds like you aren't actually logging in? [22:07] forevertheuni, yes, in Xorg output, after doing startx [22:07] sandforce - 2 OCZ Vertex 2s and 1 Corsair Force... all 120gb [22:08] now on my second corsair force [22:08] yes [22:08] guess its not that then [22:08] WWW: try to disable compiz... [22:08] WWW: If you can log into the Console (ctrl+alt+F1 or ctrl+alt+F2) check /var/log/messages or even a xorg.log to see if there are any indications. [22:08] WWW: Also, the GUI is location at F7 or F8 [22:08] that's probably a version mismatch between module and files [22:08] when i delete files they get permanently deleted instead of going to the trash bin, how can i change this? [22:09] I created a bootable usb using start-up disk creator, one of the options were to create one using reserved space, and so I added space, can someone just tell me where it all saves to. Because when I left and came back, everything was still there [22:09] forevertheuni, should I move xorg.conf to where? [22:09] try to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a safe place [22:09] yes i do not have sound and computer says it has no drivers [22:09] and don't have that file [22:09] please help me to install my wifi driver? [22:09] see if this makes you come to X with no nvidia drivers [22:09] visual1ce: its possible its related i guess, considered trying a different form of encryption like ecryptfs? [22:10] Dcite: nope nothing there but if its a x crush then should i get a error or something? cuz i dont get an logging out sound [22:10] visual1ce: I think whold disk or whole partition encryption and trim wont work well because the enctrption writes random data to the entire disk, every sector. So trim then chokes because is has no ability to trim [22:10] Hello [22:10] when i remove compiz my edges are removed to ? what can i do to that ?? [22:10] edges of a terminal and stuff [22:10] WWW: If it just goes blank and gives an X screen, it crashing [22:10] Dcite: its not that then [22:11] i don't think either is supported... i google searched: ubuntu ssd trim encryption and the general consensus seems to be that its not supported although a single post suggests that a "commit" was made to implement it in 2.6.38 [22:11] WWW: Err X screen as in login screen [22:11] GOMI: this happens when you remove the effects or unistaling compiz [22:11] i see raido [22:12] so how do i prevent that , i want to fix other problems so i want to delete compiz [22:12] forevertheuni, I dont have that file in that path... :( [22:12] hmm [22:12] :S [22:12] hi, is there a way to get rid of that new desktop with ubuntu 10.10? I want my old gnome desktop back [22:12] try sudo modprobe nvidia [22:13] do you have anything? [22:13] GOMI: can't you set the display effects to none? That should turn of all issues which interfere with 3D apps [22:13] visual1ce: dont you loopbackmount a full encryption disk? [22:13] forevertheuni, I have xorg.conf.backup [22:14] what can I use instead of sudo su? sudo -? [22:14] i set my system up so that the boot partition was not encrypted... but i have no idea about loopback and such - all i did was follow walkthroughs :) [22:14] MarcelC: try sudo -i [22:14] ill try [22:14] MarcelC: sudo -i [22:14] forevertheuni, got this error: "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" [22:14] but that does ring a bell acicula [22:14] iceroot, 10q === peregrinator_six is now known as synaptic_six [22:15] in any case im doing a zero fill now and i'm going to run ubuntu with no encryption [22:15] MarcelC: what? [22:15] 10q = thank you [22:15] lol :) [22:15] ehehe that's why it doesn't work jessica [22:15] try to remove nvidia-current [22:15] 3 ssds in a month... that is just uber bad [22:15] ok [22:15] sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [22:15] and then install again [22:16] visual1ce: k, well you may have less wear and tear if you use ecryptfs , this encrtypts files on a file by file basis, that should limit any write amplication caused by the encryption [22:16] MarcelC: "Kids these days.. they don't even txt anymore" [22:16] Hello I am able to mount an NFS directory share, but the user and group owners on the mount are not anything I would think they should be, they are a long number like 635262535 [22:16] why is this?

[22:16] jessicaBR, sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-current . pastebin the output , we'll see if the proper driver is there [22:16] Dcite, how come's that you know that I am getting older? :( [22:16] :P [22:17] acicula: for now i just need to get my system running so i can study but i'll start a thread on ubuntuforums and check in on it every now and then and once a few ppl have got trim working with dm-crypt or ecryptfs i'll reinstall with 11.04 [22:17] hi guys nd gals [22:17] and* [22:17] ok jessicaBR , NM ...too many cooks in the ubuntu kitchen...I have to go to dinner ...good luck [22:18] dcite: no, my home partition had around 70gb remaining on the last drive [22:18] spaceturtle: Unless the system on both ends of the NFS have the same groupid and userid, they will show up as numbers instead. [22:18] Please help me connecting to you with ubuntu!! [22:18] my first drive was a bit more variable and i had some blue-rays on the system [22:18] Dcite: is there some way I can sync these? [22:18] BluesKaj, I'm really sorry!! Just wanted to solve my problem! [22:18] they are both ww-data [22:18] *www-data [22:19] spaceturtle: Perhaps you can change their ID numbers in /etc passwd and groups and then chown them to the new numbers. [22:19] hi guys. i dont know how to install a .bin file. any help? this is file I want to run PlaneShift-v0.5.6-x86.bin and I am in ubuntu 10.04 i know how to cd to my downloads folder just dont know the comand after that [22:19] dcite and acicula: you would not believe the strange behaviour my last two drives were exhibiting - known as time-warp or groundhog day: you edit/create/delete a file and after a cold start you find those changes have not been persisted [22:20] blew my mind man [22:20] hey all [22:20] woodyjlw: Try "sh Planeshift-v0.5.6-x86.bin" at where you saved the file [22:20] you can search for ssd time-warp OR groundhog day [22:20] Dcite: I jsut checked and all www-data are user and group ID 33 [22:20] visual1ce: that is what you would expect if you cant write anymore [22:20] spaceturtle: In that case.. no idea.. consider sshfs =P [22:21] but after a reboot (not a cold restart) the files are there/changed/removed as you wold expect [22:21] n [22:21] Dcite, sh: Can't open Planeshift-v0.5.6-x86.bin [22:21] also, if there is no space to write how can it write in the first place? i tried small files, large files... [22:21] visual1ce: dunno then, some of the newer ssd's can operate pretty independent [22:21] are there any gui ssh tools around? or else how do i do ssh file transfers from the command line? [22:21] very weird [22:22] woodyjlw: Are you doing this where you SAVED the .bin ? [22:22] visual1ce: some ssds have an internal memory buffer [22:22] oneliner: scp is a good start :) [22:22] some of the files were gigabytes [22:22] Dcite, yes I cd to my downloads folder then gave the command [22:22] forevertheuni, I just installed as you said, and also tried to startx, and it seems it worked, but it didnt show me the login window... Instead of that, it opened a terminal window, but now I can see the mouse [22:22] isso é bom [22:22] woodyjlw: Okay. please do a "ls Plane" tell me if anything comes up [22:23] visual1ce: then idk [22:23] Dcite: Can you help me installing Wifi driver on my dell5010? [22:23] oneliner: if you are going to transfer directories with many small files it is kind of ineffective. scp is a commandline tool. [22:23] hosein: I don't know which wifi card/chip your dell has which will make it difficult [22:23] check this link out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604077 [22:23] other ppl with the same issue [22:24] hosein: If it's a known card.. it should do it automatically OR, additional drivers will pop up asking for permission to install [22:24] Dcite, nothing happens [22:24] some say they formatted but i suspect they didn't do a full format [22:24] Dcite: it is:dw1501 wireless-n wlan half-Mini card [22:24] woodyjlw: do an "ls" in that download folder, do you SEE the planeshift .bin file?

[22:27] woodyjlw: Try use "sh Pla" and hit tab for filename completion? [22:27] hey guys, does anyone know how to get the pdf which I can actually view online but download is not free, it has print option but it also isn't for free [22:27] how I can check access the shared libs of program? When I try ldd nameprogram I get list of shared lib [22:28] hosein: Are you sure you don't see a card like icon to the left of your clock? It should offer to install the broadcom-sta drivers. [22:28] hi [22:28] woodyjlw: in the same directory as the file you want to run type 'chmod +x Pla' then type './Pla' [22:28] Dcite, hmm with ls it and tab it will but with sh and tab it dose nothing [22:28] hi [22:29] is snort built with the prelude option by default? [22:29] lasha: That depends on how this 'viewer' works.. if you can't get to the file.. then it doesn't seem viable [22:29] woodyjlw: can't replace the ls with sh after you suceed? [22:29] Dcite: this is the link http://www.scribd.com/doc/43321500/Traumatic-Stress-by-Van-Der-Kolk#open_download [22:29] lasha: I don't know how to download fro scribd sorry x.x [22:30] Dcite: hmm ok no problem :) === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [22:30] bstanish, that worked [22:31] woodyjlw: yay [22:31] Time to go *poof* *detaches* [22:32] bstanish, but now ls or sh dont work lol [22:32] what's the ubuntu license? GPL? LGPL? other, what? [22:32] i think about using idconfig but I don't know [22:33] PlaneShift-v0.5.6-x86.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [22:33] visual1ce: with the FDE encryption did you intialize the disk with full random data? [22:33] woodyjlw: just try doing an ls without anything after it...does that show anything? [22:33] bstanish, yes it shows up that way but not any other way [22:33] Anyone know why none of my startup programs will run? They run in the terminal but when I add them as a command to my startup programs they just dont run when my system boots [22:34] acicula, i don't think so [22:34] i installed maverick a number of times though [22:34] bstanish, it shows up in bold grean letters [22:34] <- noobie [22:34] bstanish, green [22:34] woodyjlw: acicula yes, but ls takes arguments of folder paths as well $man ls [22:34] visual1ce: because from what im reading with FDE trim is kind of superflous as no sector is ever marked as free, so trim is moot and wear levelling not possible === vinicius is now known as Guest89261 [22:35] yes - that's what i've been reading too although it doesn't seem to have made as much sense to me as it does to you [22:36] how to search in vi? === root is now known as Guest78029 [22:36] but do you think that could cause the drive to freak out in this manner? [22:36] lolmatic: /searchstring [22:36] lolmatic, / foo [22:36] visual1ce: yes totally [22:36] instead of sh try running it with the ./ in front of the name of the file [22:36] lolmatic, use ? to search backwards [22:36] visual1ce: try using a filebased system like ecryptfs, that still has write amplication, but shouldnt be as bad as FDE [22:36] well no encryption for me then - at least not for the time being [22:37] woodyjlw:instead of sh try running it with the ./ in front of the name of the file [22:37] or find an SSD that supports hardware based encryption, but dont think there are any well researched or affordable solutions for that yet [22:37] Dcite: When I can not connect,how it want to install?! is it a local driver? [22:37] *openly researched [22:37] question, - in Ubuntu is there a way to see the raw output of a serial input (connected via USB) [22:38] (sorry if it's a trivial question) [22:38] yoyoyo: sure, use watch or cat on the raw device [22:38] for now im not going to use encryption... like i said ill put up a post and monitor it... also is there someone i can email like a developer or maintainer to find out if 2.6.38 does indeed support TRIM and FDE? [22:38] visual1ce: from what i can tell TRIM support has been in for a long time [22:38] with FDE? [22:38] @ActionParsnip - thanks, I'll give that a go now [22:38] hey there, i've got some issues with touchpad and built in speakers with ubuntu 10.10 [22:39] hi, can ubuntu have kde?

[22:39] oh, [22:39] Juest, of course - you can install kubuntu-desktop (or similar) to install the KDE packages included with Kubuntu on an ubuntu system [22:40] :) [22:40] sometimes the touchpad won't work properly or totally (right now), and sometimes built in speakers won't play any sound [22:40] @member:ActionParsnip I'm getting a permission denied message even when I auth with root [22:40] and windows managers? [22:40] visual1ce: the problem is that the technologies arent very compatible [22:40] how to i root the system properly? [22:40] I've got an Olivetti Olibook s1500 [22:40] do* [22:40] Juest, use sudo [22:40] @Juest:  sudo -s (that will change you to the root user) [22:40] and i am running it in VBox VM [22:40] there is this long mailing list discussion about implementing trim with dm-crypt and how this could create security holes [22:40] visual1ce: yes [22:41] so i guess they aren't very compatible [22:41] and i just want to root the system, not su/sudo [22:41] how can i remove mandatory setting from a key in config editor? [22:41] i mean, login with root [22:41] even yet, why i o [22:41] why i lost ttys? [22:41] because i don't see any shell [22:42] woodyjlw: having a look now [22:42] Juest: Don't do any root logins. It will compromise security and might mess the permissions of your personal files/configs. [22:42] also: why doent changes get applied when i start gconf-editor with sudo and make changes [22:42] hey, i cant get mysql working. no metter what i do. [22:42] any one can help? === vale is now known as vale_maio [22:42] Juest: Best use gksu/kdesu for graphical apps and sudo for terminal ones. [22:42] why not, galavarton, i just want to root it [22:42] also i have no /etc/init.d/mysql [22:43] ah [22:43] it just wont work. [22:43] Juest: its not supported nor advise [22:43] and i lost ttys [22:43] Juest: You can do all the rootstuff with just those === bubble is now known as bubble_ [22:43] visual1ce: basicaly, the encryption smears out small changes into many changes in many places, which is bad. Also to unmark sectors so they can be used requires the encryption system to say oh this data looks encrypted, but its just junk data, hence leaking information, etc. [22:43] how can i "align" my ssd? [22:43] Juest: I think you are confused, root is there, you just do not need it [22:43] Juest: use sudo and you'll be fine (and gksudo for gui apps) [22:43] First day in Ubuntu, wow it's sexy. [22:43] the f1 to f6 is black [22:43] acicula: makes sense [22:44] ok, but, i prefer not to do su everytime, instead i want to use the user itself [22:44] BlipInTheData_: you can theme it as you desire, you can even make it look like xp, vista, win7 or macos if you like [22:44] so basically a programme could mimic a TRIM programme and make it easier to unencrypt data [22:44] visual1ce: which is why ecryptfs isnt as bad, only a portion of data is encrypted and only the same space allocated as the file itself is used. so you can trim and wear level. only price is still that making a change in an encrypted file means making many changes to the actual file on the disk [22:44] i could do it on ex-Mandrake [22:45] ActionParsnip: Nooohoo, I like it like this, no more nightmare ms software.

I have an issue with apache on 10.10 where I add a umask 022 to the envvars, but it has no effect.

[23:29] very many thanks [23:29] acicula: unfortunately no [23:29] GOMI: the bits on the top of the windows with close, minimize etc [23:29] ActionParsnip, yes the bits on the top i dont have that [23:29] bobby: not even for newer ubuntu versions? [23:30] bobby: or PPA archives on launchpad.net [23:30] it's available at medibuntu, but i can not get it to install, broken dependency issues [23:30] acicula: unfortunately adding umask 022 to the beginning of the /etc/init.d/apache2 script did not work, but it was a great suggestion. [23:30] bobby: you should upgrade to a more recent version of ubuntu [23:30] ActionParsnip: didn't work :( [23:31] Ben64: yea im starting to think that [23:31] swatto: is xchat in the startup apps? [23:31] hi there [23:31] 9.10 is really old [23:31] hows the upgrade process? pretty seamless? === aaron is now known as Guest40912 [23:31] Ben64: still supported for 15 days more though... [23:31] can anyone help with a problem i am having with avastAV [23:31] 15 days is not very long [23:31] got a small question 'bout kernel compiling) can anybody help ?) [23:31] ActionParsnip: I took the old entry out that I created and Added a new one doing the drag and drop from Applications [23:32] once i installed it, it would not authenticate when i tried to enter key, so i just wanted to uninstall, but i cant seem to dothat [23:32] what happens when its not supported anymore? [23:32] swatto: if you run: cd ~/.config/autostart is there an xchat item there? [23:32] Can I add a folder shortcut to the Unity Launcher? I have a network drive and I'd like to add a link to it it to the launcher. [23:32] bobby: you can't get packages anymore [23:32] anyone know of an easy to set up mail server that I can use to send/receive mail locally on my computer to test a web app? [23:32] bobby: no more support here and no more updates [23:32] so no security updates etc? [23:32] right [23:32] i removed the package where i downloaded it, but it still shows under applications and accessories, i cant find it anywhere to uninstall it though [23:32] can someone please tell me the ubuntu one server name that is used for tomboy synchronization? I'm not at my ubuntu box right now, trying to sync a windows machine to my account [23:32] 9.10 is from October 2009... really old [23:32] i guess i better upgrade, is it at all prone to issues, the upgrade process? [23:32] liam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [23:32] hi ubuntu, I made a woopsy. my root partition is too small, and my home partition, which could be a lot smaller, is taking up the rest of the drive. any suggestions for a commandline tool for moving these partitions around? [23:33] easy if possible :) [23:33] does anyone know about development releases and partial upgrades? Is it normal that my update-manager wants to do a partial upgrade after running update-manager -d and install a dev branch? [23:33] bobby: i haven't had a problem upgrading yet [23:33] ActionParsnip: yep [23:33] Hi, how to I find my processor speed please. [23:33] 10.04 [23:33] Ben64: still has all the updates the other releases have so its packages are just as new as Maverick [23:33] Actionparsnip: xchat-gnome.desktop [23:33] what should i upgrade to? [23:33] tripelb: "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i ghz" [23:33] look in /proc/cpuinfo [23:33] swatto: is it a different colour to the others at all? [23:33] Ben64, tim thanks. [23:33] no tips? [23:33] bobby: Lucid [23:33] bobby: 10.04, 10.10, or 11.04 [23:34] shcherbak: It worked. Thanks a lot. [23:34] copies into file [23:34] Actionparsnip: not from what i can see in terminal, will look in gui [23:34] Guest40912: have you looked in the package manager [23:34] tripelb: You can also do: sudo lshw -C cpu [23:34] Guest40912: use software centre [23:34] swatto: I was on about cli [23:34] guys, does anybody know how to "fix register constraints" ? got an error when compiling 2.6.23.17 kernel patched with rtai [23:35] ActionParsnip: Do you know if it is possible to use postfix/dovecot with a catchall email address that will receive email sent to the server even if the address the email is sent to doesn't exist as an account on the server? [23:35] yeah, none of the package managers can find it, it installed with software center but cant locate it in there or synaptic, i even tried ubuntu tweak to see if i could locate something [23:35] Actionparsnip: ahh ok, no it isnt [23:35] genii-around, yeah, that's territory I have been in before. ty [23:35] swatto: try: rm ~/.config/autostart/xchat-gnome.desktop; ln -s /usr/share/applications/xchat-gnome.desktop ~/.config/autostart/xchat-gnome.desktop may work [23:36] liam: no idea, never ran an email server [23:36] Guest40912: So it was an installer rather than a package? [23:36] Guest40912: did you install it throug the package manager? [23:36] *software centre [23:36] it is possible to use postfix/dovecot with a catchall email address that will receive email sent to the server even if the address the email is sent to doesn't exist as an account on the server? [23:36] well, i downloaded from the website through my browser, and i clicked on the download in the browser and it opened software center to install [23:36] liam: probably [23:37] ActionParsnip: ok done, brb :) [23:37] Guest40912: it definitely opened the package manager? === myrl is now known as myrk [23:37] yes, it opened software center [23:37] Guest40912: do the icons in your menu still work? [23:38] well, kinda, it still wants me to authenticate with a key though, which didnt work before [23:38] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' [23:38] so yeah, the icon is functional but not the program [23:38] wjd86: fix your dns [23:38] Guest40912: the instructions of what to remove on uninstall are part of the package, i.e. from the people who's website it is [23:38] wjd86: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/ there is no i18n folder there [23:38] Ben64: its not dns [23:39] is there a way to lock then menu bar in unity? [23:39] Guest40912: if they didn't make it clean up after itself, you'd have to remove the stuff it left manually [23:39] ActionParsnip: Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' [23:39] Ben64: click the link I posted [23:39] tim, thats what i cant seem to find, i search the system and nothing with avast shows up [23:39] I'm trying to write to sysctl.d [23:39] wjd86: do you get web access ok? [23:39] ActionParsnip: that worked then :) what was my issue? [23:39] but unable to [23:39] any ideas? [23:39] !countdown [23:39] ActionParsnip: yeah but that error is a dns error [23:39] Guest40912: if it were me, I'd go get that package (file you downloaded) again, open it with your favourite archive tool, and look in the package manifest for the files it install and where they went [23:40] swatto: no idea, i don't use the stupid startup app.I just symlink stuff to that folder :) [23:40] 404 is different from resolving a host [23:40] shcherbak: Hm, the game quit when I tried to switch back to it. "AL lib: alsa.c:785: no playback cards found... AL lib: alsa.c:853: no capture cards found... Got signal 11 at (nil) from 0x8430a22 Aborted" [23:40] What time is Ubuntu Countdown page using? [23:40] from UK right [23:40] Habstinat: What game is it? [23:40] acicula: thanks for all your help, there doesn't seem to be a good solution, unfortunately. I have a work-around - adding os.umask(022) to the python script that executes fixes the problem, but that really seems like a hack. Apache should honor the umask set in envvars, if not the one in /etc/profile [23:41] I noticed Ubuntu Countdown banner changes before midnight.... [23:41] #lubin [23:41] Guest40912: avast4workstation is the package name, it seems it's using an ugly postinstall script to shive the icons in... [23:41] ActionParsnip: can I create symlinks with arguements though? [23:41] not too sureh onestly [23:41] thats on my 'server' but im still trying to work out the kinks [23:41] thanks again [23:41] shcherbak: The one I'm testing is Shadowgrounds: Survivor, but the same problems should apply to the other games in the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle. [23:41] im accessing it atm via external ip, thats the extent of my testing [23:42] what program is easiest to burn an iso image to a dvd? [23:42] swatto: not sure, I personally don't use gui much at all short of web browsing [23:42] alias: allwill do it just fine [23:42] !burner | alias [23:42] alias: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [23:43] ActionParsnip: thats the kind of level i want to get to :) dont want to use GUI [23:43] ActionParsnip, what should i do? [23:43] Guest40912: Do you still have /usr/lib/avast4workstation present on your system? [23:44] swatto: you could copy the desktop file from /usr/share/applications then add the options on the exec line [23:44] tim, so how do i do that in software center, cause i downloaded the package again but if i do anything with it, it start the center to install [23:44] I dual boot windows and ubuntu and I only use windows for playing games. Lately everytime I try to play a game in windows about 10-30 minutes into it the screen goes black and says "no signal detected" while the fans inside the tower increase to max speed. I thought it was just windows but then it happened in ubuntu too so it's obviously a hardware issue. Any ideas what it might be? [23:44] one other quick question...my local network is 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255. Is there a way I can allow all incoming connections from devices on my LAN rather than adding all of them via sepearte I.P addresses [23:44] arand, let me look [23:44] wjd86: check you have internet connection by pinging 8.8.8.8 [23:44] how to update all packages from ubuntu 10.10 gnome? [23:44] wjd86: also run: sudo apt-get update to update your apt database [23:45] just chmod sysctl.conf. so sorted :-) [23:45] keyup: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade [23:45] ActionParsnip: i do [23:45] keyup: Upen up update manager, refresh, and update [23:45] arand, yes the work station is there [23:45] ActionParsnip: or I could add the arguement direct to the usr/share/applications? [23:45] wjd86: ok does the update run ok. You could try changing update server [23:45] I bet Ubuntu countdown banner changes at 23.59 [23:46] Hello guys, where can I take a LPI sample exam? [23:46] arand, why cant i delete it [23:46] Guest40912: And do you have the avast4workstation package installed still? [23:46] yeah, should be [23:46] myh [23:46] arand, yeah should be [23:46] swatto: if you always want to use the option then you can, you can do the same with alacarte for GUI editting [23:46] that raises another question for me, kinda unrelated, is there someway i can get to that dir in terminal to shred? [23:46] ActionParsnip same failures [23:46] ActionParsnip: when trying to update [23:46] Habstinat: Can you try gedit, and any music player? [23:47] ActionParsnip, it says nothing for upgrade [23:47] Guest40912: And it won't remove using USC/synaptic/apt-get? [23:47] I doubt it [23:47] where can I contact about UBuntu page === entropic is now known as ez [23:47] keyup: then you have the latest [23:47] arand, what is that? [23:47] ActionParsnip: i also checked my repositories, i think they're ok [23:47] http://www.ubuntu.com/contact-us ok [23:47] ActionParsnip, all packages are latest versions?? [23:48] Guest40912: ubuntu software center/synpatic(admin menu)/apt-get(terminal package management) [23:48] keyup: all the packages are the latest version available in the repositories [23:48] arand, let me check [23:48] keyup: according to apt - yes [23:48] !canonical > rcconf [23:48] rcconf, please see my private message [23:49] shcherbak: You mean I should try those applications in the other X system? [23:49] arand, i dont see that [23:49] Habstinat: Yes. [23:49] wjd86: try switching to a different server, the one you are using may be being worked on [23:49] Guest40912: In a terminal, type "apt-cache search avast" [23:50] arand, yeah, that brings it up [23:50] hahaha.... ok [23:50] Guest40912: Ok in a terminal simply do "sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation" [23:51] arand, k, i will try that, i tried something similar but i was using sudo aptitude remove [23:51] server version of ubuntu you mean, right? [23:51] ActionParsnip, this includes php and apache and mysql? [23:51] keyup: you have the latest version for your release [23:51] Guest40912: That works just as well, provided you have the patitude utility installed, apt-get is always installed per default. [23:52] hello, after many updates i have a very ugly grub menu, how can i edit entries on the menu easily? [23:52] im trying to send a cmd to a screen console via screen -S bla -X stuff "say bla\n" works fun except that he doesn't convert \n to a return [23:52] arand, aha! thank you, that did the trick, so is that why aptitude was not working for me, not installed? [23:52] s/patitude/aptitude/ [23:52] hey i am back [23:52] inma: can you expand on 'ugly grub meu'? [23:52] shcherbak: Gedit worked switching back and forth, trying a music player now... [23:53] Guest40912: You could find out with "apt-cache policy aptitude"... [23:53] ActionParsnip, sorry but you reffer to php apache and mysql right? [23:53] ok, i need to know why in vm the display haves limited settings [23:53] hehe, i have many entries to boot diffent ubuntu kernerls and memtest, i only want to have two entries, the latest ubuntu and windows [23:53] ActionParsnip, sorry that i disappeard BUT my ubuntu keeps re-logging me [23:53] Juest: did you setup the VM correctly? [23:54] arand, [23:54] arand, k* [23:54] yeah [23:54] keyup: i refer to ALL packages [23:54] Guys, what is a Cisco CCNA? [23:54] Juest: I'd ask in #vmware to double check first [23:54] i am using virtualbox [23:54] not vmware [23:54] !ot | victorhugo289 [23:54] victorhugo289: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[23:55] * Juest is restarting his vm [23:55] KINGOFSWORDS: you install your apps in wine, did you check the appdb for compatibilty? [23:55] arand, that apt-cache seems pretty useful too, i will have to research that some more [23:56] Juest: I'd ask in #vbox [23:56] k [23:56] arand, thank you again for the help [23:56] Guest40912: It was removed from the default install in Maverick I think (saved a few MBs on the LiveCD) [23:56] banner changed at 23.55 fail :P [23:56] Guest40912: Glad to help [23:56] yeh check winehq as it wasnt on apps [23:56] KINGOFSWORDS: then you are in unchartered ground [23:56] .
