[00:20] kristian-aalborg: hey [00:21] I was going to ask you about some ssh/ftp stuff but I figured it out :) [00:23] well, the system sux, too slow [00:23] two x servers [00:23] and in a vm that haves 384mb [00:23] UPS WRONG CHAN [00:23] sryy caps [00:23] kristian-aalborg: cool :) [00:24] hi duanedisign [00:29] is it goo if i am use to suspend my computer if i am away? [02:13] hey yofel_ thanks for the tip, beta2 is booting from liveusb [02:13] no idea what changed, but, cool [02:15] huh "irqbalance" that's a new binary in top [02:31] heyu all [02:47] anyone in here? [02:49] hello thewrath === yofel_ is now known as yofel [02:49] Hey UndiFineD [02:50] do you know where i can purchase a "real" hub? [02:50] I think you mean a switch [02:50] as network equipment [02:51] Kind of depends on where you are located. I picked up a 16port switch on Amazon for $20.00 [02:52] I also purchased a 5 port switch at Walmart for $35.00 [02:52] no i need a hub [02:52] there are hubs (old i know), switches, and routers [02:52] i am using snort and need something that will send the traffic all ports [02:53] coax will do that job :P [02:53] 10 mbit [02:53] Might try Amazon, or ebay. I don't know, I am not close to any of the computer stores [02:58] UndiFineD: what do you mean coax [02:58] i have al a normal Rj45 network [03:00] coax is the kind of cable that is used for tv [03:03] I still have 2 coax nics and a bit of cabling [03:04] I used it in the past until the hardware became too slow [03:05] but it was fun to demonstrate routing among coax and stp networks === andrew_ is now known as Guest53556 === Guest53556 is now known as gillyman [05:58] Quiet here tonight. [05:59] r5 [10:05] hello [10:14] I got a question [10:15] A long time ago my uncle gave me a CD he put Ubuntu onto [10:16] Well, he wrote on it support= some letters - numbers [10:16] what is that for? [10:16] what did he put that on there for? [10:17] hello ray [10:17] hello [10:17] what does it say ? [10:18] I kind of can't read it because of his hand writing [10:18] ah [10:18] but it says support= letters-numbers which I am guessing a password or something but that doesn't make sense to me [10:19] well, it might be Ubuntu 10.04 Long term support [10:19] LTS [10:19] what is it for, as in where do I go to use this what is perhaps a password? [10:19] no lol, it's older [10:19] for ubuntu we have the current version, 10.10 that is oktober 2010 [10:20] I think it is Gutsy Gibbons [10:20] but also 10.04 which is april 2010 [10:20] I know, I have it on a cd as well [10:20] I have all the versions of Ubuntu so far mentioned [10:20] on cd [10:20] ha ha ha [10:20] ok [10:21] hmm, well, thanks for trying [10:21] so I have no idea what the letters could mean [10:21] or perhaps it might be a voucher for canonical support [10:21] I have always wondered. I could ask him, but I would rather not [10:22] Has canonical been with Ubuntu since the beginning? [10:23] Something about Open Suse and Ubuntu rings a bell for me when I had read something about them [10:23] so ray_ , have you been watching the news, what do you think of 11.04 the natty narwhal to be released ? [10:23] I haven't tried it yet [10:23] What do you think> [10:23] yes, canonical is the company that started ubuntu [10:23] I meant that as a question mark lol [10:23] O [10:24] well I could tell you what i think, but I am interested from a marketing perspective to you [10:24] sorry, right Open suse was joining forces with Microsoft or something [10:25] Marketing perspective, hmm, I am not how I can help you [10:25] have you heard of the change of interface ? [10:25] give me a sec [10:25] uh, don't tell me [10:26] I forget, but something to do with the new purple them, If I am right it starts with a P [10:26] Plymouth [10:27] is that it? [10:27] no, no [10:27] :) [10:27] I must be wrong [10:27] OK, I don't know then [10:27] Unity [10:27] I will look into it [10:29] Is Gnome still being used?, I mean is it a separate kind of thing, or is it a replacement for Gnome? [10:30] OK, it will replace it [10:30] I see [10:30] I wonder how well that will go [10:31] I am pretty used to Gnome but what ever [10:33] Thank you for telling me this [10:33] I will end up trying it, then who knows [10:35] With open suse, it gave people the option to either use gnome or kde, I can only hope that the makers of Ubuntu will have both for download or something like that, but I can see that being a problem because it would take too much time to work on both [10:35] :) [10:35] Well, I don't have much else to say [10:35] take care [10:35] gnome is still there, but as a fallback or switch to option [10:35] Cool [10:36] thanks for telling me [10:36] ty [10:36] it provides some more insight [10:36] I don't know how that helps you [10:37] Hm, I hope recordmydesktop works in the next release of Ubuntu [10:37] I am not sure what caused it not to work for me [10:38] I should try it out before installing the graphics driver of nvidia [10:38] and so on [10:38] i have it working on my machine [10:38] well, it provides insight on how well the changes that the community makes are being communicated to you as a user [10:38] hey popey [10:38] lo [10:38] Well, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu to try testing it again [10:39] I think I should save that config file for recordmydesktop before doing anything [10:39] backups are always wise to have [10:40] :) [10:40] No, I think I remember it not working because of something else, because it worked then I tried it with hydrogen drum machine with jack control then it didn't work [10:40] popey, I still have not received an email about an ubuntu.com email address [10:41] you wont [10:41] aha [10:41] I can't remember what I did wrong, so testing testing testing [10:41] it just magically works [10:41] ok, so I could just add it to my gmail [10:41] i just sent you a test mail [10:41] and it hasnt bounced [10:42] alright, take care guys, I am going to chill [10:42] bye [10:42] indeed [10:43] see you ray_ [10:43] :D [10:43] see ya [10:43] that worked then :) [10:43] :p [10:43] :o [10:43] runs [12:17] can someone tell were to look if i have troubles with my login ? it keeps kicking me back to login screen ? [12:17] if you have any ideas just tell me , ill go search for the rest [12:23] hello GOMI [12:23] UndiFineD, hey [12:24] so you login and you are getting a desktop and it kicks back to login ? [12:24] or does it just cycle login page [12:24] yes after working a little , so now am working buts it a matter of time then it kickes me back [12:25] what do you mean cycle login page [12:25] then one of the open applications is bugging [12:25] yes i have deleted some stuff like chrome and compiz stuff [12:26] trouble is, there are many applications running when you are on the desktop [12:26] i know :p thats why i dont really know were to look [12:26] well it even can be your network manager [12:27] what version of ubuntu are you running ? [12:27] 10.10 [12:27] ok, and when did you last update ? [12:28] not very long ago [12:28] alright, do you know if your internet provider hands out new ip addresses often [12:28] often as in daily [12:29] no idk [12:29] some providers disconnect their users every 2 hours [12:29] hmm [12:30] there are so many possibilities here, it is hard to pinpoint what is wrong [12:31] does it happen at regular intervals, or at the same time of the day ? [12:31] just kicked out :p [12:31] there are so many possibilities here, it is hard to pinpoint what is wrong [12:31] does it happen at regular intervals, or at the same time of the day ? [12:32] you know when i click something somethimes i see a white border on de screen flickering once [12:32] left and right [12:32] every time i work on it , ive been looking for 2weeks now [12:33] [13:30] just kicked out :p [12:33] it might be a crontab job that goes wrong [12:33] cant i see it in log files ? [12:34] sometimes [12:35] system -> administration -> logfile viewer [12:35] yes am looking now :p [12:36] 12:47:14 Gomi bonobo-activation-server (hanazuki-1937): could not associate with desktop session: Error connecting: Connection refused [12:36] Apr 14 12:47:22 Gomi pulseaudio[2124]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. [12:37] what is that bonobo server ? [12:37] http://linux.die.net/man/1/bonobo-activation-server [12:39] so something goes wrong with that, it might be your graphics card drivers or some corruption in bonobo [12:39] dont worry about pulseaudio [12:40] oke am doing a search for common error with bonobo [13:07] Does anyone know how to make an .ISO image of a disc? [13:29] anyone in here anygood with mpd clients? mpd starts, library reads - clients refuse to play though [16:14] hi duanedesign [16:25] Hi Guys, I just plugged my camera into the computer to download pictures but I cannot find it to open it. Nothing popped up and I cannot figure out where to go to open the camera in the menus .... any help appreciated [16:27] anybody ???? [16:29] dmesg in terminal [16:29] look if kernel sees your camera [16:30] i would suggest to use card reader [16:30] its faster, and doesnt consumpt battery [16:31] definately a card reader [16:34] Ok let me try :) [16:37] ok well I am looking for the dmesg in terminal but I cannot locate the Terminal ( yeah I am kinda useless at this my brother installed it on my PC and I am having a hard time with it ) [17:32] Hello, I'm new and I'm trying to set up a mail server. I've been following this howto: PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto and get all the way through, but it seems to be hanging on the authentication. Anyone familiar with this? === Abhijit_ is now known as Abhijit [18:18] hello beginner support team and thank you for your time. I'm trying to learn how to use scripts and launchers to create a shortcut to starting my openvpn in the terminal, so that my girl friend can use it without having to know all the commands, is there a way to do this so it can be started with one click? [18:19] I've been reading linuxcommand.org but it's a little over my head and a bit too detailed [18:23] clarkthehardy910: not knowing how to start openvpn myself, I would start by creating a file with the commands you use listed one per line. [18:24] name it something like "startopenvpn" and change the properties so it is executable (chmod 755 ) works [18:24] @charlie thank you [18:25] Then create a launcher with the file name as the command to run, including the path (~/startopenvpn) [18:25] Starting point, anyway [18:25] charlie-tca: one command per line, right? does it matter which directory I save the file in? and extension? [18:26] one command per line, save it in ~/ normally, which is your user home [18:26] charlie-tca: is there an easy way to give it root permissions? [18:26] extension doesn't matter unless you want to add one [18:26] on my system openvpn must be run in the etc/openvpn directory [18:27] how do I add that command in the script, just with the cd? [18:29] charlie-tca: I'm a little confused about the #! comment at the beginning, should I indicate /etc/openvpn in that line? [18:33] make it #!bash [18:33] charlie-tca: thank you [18:33] it tells the system what to use to make it work [18:34] should I use bin/bash or just bash [18:34] #!bin/bash or #!bin/bash [18:35] #!/bin/bash [18:35] I looked this time to get it right [18:36] no spaces either [18:36] ok, thank you so much [18:36] That is the only thing on that first line, too [18:36] #!/bin/sh [18:37] and how about the sudo and cd commands should I include those as well? [18:37] or is that put in the launcher? [18:38] yup [18:38] if you use them, you include them [18:38] ok, thanks [18:39] #!/bin/sh [18:39] cd /my/work/path [18:39] you use stuff like echo "enter a password" to tell the user what to do, too [18:39] sudo something [18:39] echo "enter a password" [18:39] sudo ??? [18:40] going to lunch now [18:40] charlie-tca: do you mean it is automatically root? [18:40] if I give it permission which chmod? [18:41] UndiFineD: are you saying sh because of the kind of command it is? [18:42] no, it is because it make it more os independant [18:42] often /bin/sh exists [18:43] being either a symlink or shell [18:43] even on solaris [18:43] ok, so I will put sh [18:44] clarkthehardy910, be sure to read about ksh and tcsh shells if you need to make your script os independant [18:44] some commands are not available on other unixes while they are on linux [18:45] UndiFineD: its not os independent, it is only for my computer [18:45] well, it is always fun to learn about it [18:45] UndiFineD: I just want to make a simple click for my girl friend to start it, so that she doens't have to type in the commands [18:45] when she wants to start the vpn [18:45] true [18:45] we live in China [18:45] and without the vpn [18:45] no access to facebook, youtube [18:46] hulu etc [18:46] clarkthehardy910, you cant watch back to the future any more, or quantum leap :( [18:46] hahaha [18:46] so im a pretty busy beginner [18:46] and would really like to get this done so that when she wakes up in the morning, she can just click and boom can check her facebook [18:47] soon, wifi is strong enough to cover 1000s of kilometers [18:47] =) nice [18:47] UndiFineD, what are you taking? :D [18:47] coffee [18:47] I'll ordere the same [18:48] senseo dark raos [18:48] so its this good: #!bin/bash [18:48] cd /etc/openvpn [18:48] roast [18:48] openvpn --config ibVPN\ US-Washington.ovpn [18:48] seems good [18:48] or maybe add the sudo [18:48] or gksu for graphics [18:49] gksudo [18:49] so I need to add the sudo plus the passcode right? [18:49] or if i dont add it, will it ask for it in the terminal? [18:49] openvpn is a terminal based program [18:49] sudo openvpn --config ibVPN\ US-Washington.ovpn [18:50] ok, thanks [18:50] an empty line between #!bin/bash and cd /etc/openvpn [18:50] or no line? [18:50] bioterror, even the old class A wifi was used (boosted) to communicate with the ISS [18:51] does not matter [18:51] but be sure that is /bin/bash [18:52] the / are important [18:53] ok, i did it and it changed colors [18:53] is that a good sign? [18:53] #!/bin/bash [18:53] but now when i try to chmod 755 filename [18:53] it says it cannot access it [18:53] i gave it the filename startwashvpn [18:54] maybe its in the wrong directory [18:54] UndiFineD, must be fast wifi then to ISS [18:55] ~ is root [18:55] bioterror, yes, burst traffic with ham like fallback [18:55] chmod: cannot access 'startwashvpn': no such file or directory [18:55] what's wrong? [18:55] the file is not where you say it is [18:56] chmod 750 ~/startwashvpn [18:56] ok [18:56] rwxrw---- [19:00] ok, the chmod worked, but now when I test the script I get bash:startwashvpn:command not found [19:00] i did a dir [19:00] and the file is in my ~ folder [19:04] nevermind! [19:04] I used create launcher with it and it works! [19:04] UndiFineD: thank you! [19:04] bioterror: thanks to you too! [19:04] charlie-tca: thanks to you for helping get started! [19:04] UndiFineD: you are a great help, thanks! [19:04] bioterror: thank you too! [19:04] :) [19:04] I did nothing? :D [19:05] you were here, thats what counts [19:05] in spirit :P [19:05] exactly [19:05] thanks and have a great day [19:05] going to bed now === AndrewMC is now known as Guest80546 === Guest80546 is now known as AndrewMC [19:15] hey === bgs101 is now known as bgs100 [22:09] Did they solve the HDD heating up bug in Ubuntu? [22:11] maybe thats specific to some particular hardware [22:11] mihaita99: whats the bug#? [22:12] the hard disk of my laptop used to heat up extremely without reason, just reading an article [22:12] the HDD was spinning continously [22:12] intersting [22:12] whats the bug#? [22:12] did you file it? [22:13] It was long time ago, 2 years ago, I don't remember [22:13] many people had that bug on laptops [22:13] yes, I filed it, of course [22:14] you can see it in your LP account [22:14] your bugs list [22:14] lets look and see [22:14] maybe its specific to certain hardware [22:15] http://markmail.org/message/bbffjpzjajdbv6wo [22:15] there is the bug, I found it [22:16] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/399978 [22:16] ^ ? [22:17] yes [22:17] that the bug [22:17] yes [22:18] 399978 [22:18] your elena09? [22:18] no [22:19] a friend [22:19] is it still happening to you? [22:19] did it ever happen to you? [22:19] I thought it was solved [22:19] what kernel was it? [22:19] it happened to me too, of course [22:20] did you or your friend try any mainline kernel tests? [22:20] Ubuntu 9.04 [22:20] an easy way to test is with the live CD's [22:20] you should be able to just DL an iso [22:20] burn it or make a bootable USB [22:20] and get to the live desktop [22:20] I tried many things, and the community guided me, but useless [22:21] mihaita99: so it still happens with the 11.04 live CD? [22:21] I don't know, was the bug solved in 11.04? [22:21] well, i havent encountered the bug [22:22] so i can confirm that for your hardware [22:22] but, you could [22:22] since you seem to have the hardware in question [22:22] and its relatively easy to test [22:23] can I test it without deleting windows? [22:23] sure [22:23] its a live CD [22:23] ok [22:23] you download the iso [22:23] ok [22:23] either burn it to cd [22:23] or make a live USB [22:23] and boot it [22:23] and *dont* install [22:23] just try it live [22:24] my hdd is cold now and I've used it for many hours, all day long [22:24] theres a lot of attitude in that bug report [22:24] i see my friend jeremy closed it out [22:24] attitude? [22:24] i could always mention it to him [22:25] yeah, from Elena09 [22:25] i mean, a large percentage of what happens in ubuntu is voluntary [22:25] and tracking down these bugs is sometimes very challening [22:26] oh, I know, understand now [22:26] and requires a lot of patients [22:26] BUT, it can happen [22:26] and does happen [22:26] I know, she switched back to windows, but I'm stubborn [22:26] you just need to file a bug, and be persistent about it [22:26] hey, whatever works [22:26] I'll try 11.04 [22:26] im just reading, and trying to see whats up there [22:27] ive never heard about hard drives getting hot [22:27] so, i can assume its going to be a small hardware base [22:27] some ide controller [22:27] or specific hard drive [22:27] or something [22:28] that the kernel is not communicating with well [22:28] hard disk driver? [22:29] that or something on the way to it [22:29] very plausible [22:30] so, where should I go, to the hdd manufacturer? Or laptop's? [22:31] if i were you [22:31] i would just test with the latest kernel [22:31] and go from there [22:32] ok, thanks a lot for your patience [22:32] I'll test it [22:32] mihaita99: anytime [22:32]
