[00:11] yes [00:11] swatto: yes [00:12] Jasonn: Put your file in path, echo $PATH [00:12] Juest: you can always symlink from /media/cdrom0 to /cdrom [00:12] :) [00:12] Jasonn: awesome thanks [00:12] shcherbak: Thanks :) [00:12] * Juest goes to link vol [00:12] swatto: Well, it SHOULD work..

I gather they are similar to windows shortcuts - although sometimes when i symlink something and run it rather than just using what i needs from the application directory it tries to copy some of the files over to where the symlink file is and run from there (if that makes sense?) [00:14] linux/ubuntu/debian soft [00:14] Jasonn: If you want to run several programs at same time (not after each other) use & (put in background) at the end of line, this often requre testing.

[01:03] rww, neat! :D [01:03] itaylor57: just because you don't like my definition of a server doesn't mean you have a magic 100mbit cell phone connection [01:03] guest3000: Please note that natty is not released and not stable, should not be installed on production systems, and is currently supported only in #ubuntu+1, not here. [01:03] Ben64, The network link is not always the bottleneck you know [01:03] well thank you anyway. This is what I followed :To upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2, type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes), and press Enter. Update Manager will open up and display the message, "New distribution release '11.04' is available." Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions. [01:03] Ben64, What about in house file servers that operate only on a LAN? [01:03] Didn't show up. Thank you anyaway. [01:04] oh fk it i may as well reinstall [01:04] how do i get dvd movies to play on ubuntu [01:04] He needed to change something in system -> admin -> software sources [01:04] Ben64: well I can neither confirm or deny what bandwith I have on my cell phone [01:05] edbian: i just think theres a big difference between sharing stuff on a lan and having a computer on a fat, internet connection with redundancies, generator backups and stuff [01:05] Not really? [01:05] itaylor57: you still don't have 100mbit on it [01:05] Its just a matter of scale [01:05] Ben64, You could have all that stuff on a lan. The rest is just hardware differences. [01:06] how to hide IP? [01:06] ugh [01:06] hello\ [01:06] ugh indeed [01:06] how is everyone [01:06] lol [01:06] so you really don't see the difference between running apache on a wii and running it on a six core xeon in a datacenter? [01:06] i've been better XD [01:06] Ben64, They are both servers. [01:06] Ben64: not really [01:06] Ben64, The xeon server has better hardware. [01:06] the word server has no meaning then [01:07] !dvd | michael_ [01:07] michael_: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:07] Ben64, server means that the computers 'serves' information to another computer. It says nothing about the hardware [01:07] Ben64, You can send requests for data to a 'server' and it will respond. That is what it means [01:07] ok, try being less dictionary [01:07] how do i add or get rid of netbook ubuntu one? [01:07] when people say server, it means a real server [01:08] or are you just arguing because you're bored [01:08] Ben64, Just trying to be helpful. [01:08] Didn't mean to be rude [01:08] !http | pehden [01:08] pehden, please see my private message [01:09] Ben64, 'server' actually is referring to hardware. People generally use it to refer to a machine which is not technically accurate. You could run an ssh server, web server, and file server on one physical (or one virtual) machine. [01:09] !ubottu | pehden [01:09] pehden, please see my private message [01:10] Ben64, sorry, meant to say 'server is actually referring to software. not hardware That is a common mis-perception [01:10] Ben64: It is matter how you use machine, sever tend to be automatized unit working to fill certain tasks, in some aspects, hardware it just guarantee that software and its task can be realized. [01:10] why does ubottu always respond to me in private message lol [01:10] !ubuntu [01:10] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [01:10] ok... language is made by the people, and most people say server is what i say it is [01:11] pehden, He responds in the channel if he knows what you're talking about [01:11] pehden: if you pipe a factoid to yourself, it gets sent in PM instead. [01:11] !gender [01:11] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [01:11] edbian rww I see lol [01:11] echo Hi #Ubuntu I'm talking in shell scripting && read [01:11] Ben64, Powerful hardware is a stereotypical 'server' but that doesn't make it true. [01:11] Simple question. I want a user (tunix) to be able to read and write to my /home/game directory Right now "#ls -l" in my /home/ shows "drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Apr 13 game" So i need to create a group for tunix, add tunix to that group and allow tunix recursive permissions to /home/game [01:12] Ben64, being a server says nothing about the hardware at all. [01:12] edbian: the internet connection is more important than hardware [01:12] Ben64, The software is more important than both [01:12] you can have a beefy computer at home on adsl, but it won't be the same [01:12] Tunix2: No, add tunix to group game [01:12] is there two commands to do this? I already have a user named tunix and i thought adding him to the adm directory would do the trick but that didnt do anything and i understand now thats beacuse root is the owner and group for that home dir [01:12] game isnt a group === [1]Mallowcheeks is now known as Mallowcheeks [01:13] its the name of the file i want permissions for and inside. Hence recursive [01:13] Ben64, If you have amazing software it doesn't matter. Software can overcome hardware limitations (both network bandwidth or otherwise) [01:13] Ben64: wiki seems to disagree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing) [01:13] Tunix2: try: groups game [01:14] Tunix2: sudo chown -R tunix /home/game [01:14] Ben64: Silly! [01:14] Tunix2, is there a user called 'game' ? [01:14] shcherbak: cat /etc/group shows no groups called game. [01:14] edbain: negative [01:14] Tunix2, Then you shouldn't have a /home/game folder :) [01:14] Ben64: RThis will remove root's ownership of the file [01:14] Tunix2: i know [01:15] Can you manipulate a program from command line to think you're not using root when you are? [01:15] edbain: Its a VPN this is how the company set up the server [01:15] Superstar: why are you running as root? [01:15] "I want a user (tunix) to be able to read and write to my /home/game directory" [01:15] Yes, good question [01:15] Tunix2, strange! :) [01:15] Tunix2: why not chown then? [01:15] meganerd: The company that owns the VPN gave us the root logins [01:15] meganerd I'm running under a VM environment [01:16] Tunix2: is tunix in admin group? [01:16] Superstar: if you have root, create a user. [01:16] Superstar: hardware or VM, it does not make a difference [01:16] Tunix2, Make a game group. add tunix to it, let the game group read / write / execute that folder / stuff in it [01:16] Ben64: if i give tunix ownership of all the files in the game folder (-R Recursive) what happens when root needs to edit? [01:16] Tunix2: root has permissions for everything [01:16] Tunix2, root can always do anything to any file [01:16] edbain: Lets say i want the group adm to RWX /home/game whats the command? [01:16] Ben64, we agree! :D [01:17] edbian: yay [01:17] root is nobody on a nfs mounted partition [01:17] fair enough, maybe ill just chown -R tunix /home/game but id like to do this the legit way [01:17] Tunix2, sudo chown -R root:adm /home/game (makes adm the group owner) [01:17] Tunix2: sudo chmod +rwx :adm /home/games [01:17] Tunix2, Then sudo chmod -R 774 /home/game [01:17] Tunix2: chown is pretty legit [01:17] meganerd but I need it to run under root [01:17] Tunix2, meganerd Did it in one stop [01:17] is there a way to set up a recovary partitision in ubuntu? [01:17] * edbian +1 meganerd [01:18] to return to working settings? [01:18] Superstar: Why? And what program is this? [01:18] so is it chown -R root:adm /home/game or is it chmod -R 774 /home/game or is it chmod +rwx :adm /home/games [01:18] hello guys, using Maverick here, my system doesn't go down 1.0 load average even when on idle , any ideas? [01:18] http://images.fcofix.org/zomg98bexp.bmp <- proof nothing changed in windows from 98 to xp [01:18] you guys gave me three different commands [01:18] i understand one of them adds adm group to permissions. thats the first one [01:18] Tunix2, That last command does the first two in one step. The first two must be done together to work. (or just the third command alone) [01:18] Tunix2: the "-R" is recursive, and you should add it to my command to make the changes to every file and folder in that directory [01:19] meganerd so chmod -R +rwx :adm /home/games [01:19] Tunix2: the 774 also adds permissions for the owner and others, mine only impacts the group [01:19] ah i understand [01:20] Tunix2, working? [01:20] Tunix2: yes. the 774 or 0774 will add the same permissions for the owner, and give read permissions to others (not listed as owner, not listed in group) [01:20] I have to text the command to the owner of the server so it will be a min [01:20] Tunix2, haha, technology [01:20] Hello, does Libre office automatically embed fonts when I create a pdf file? [01:20] but meganerd we said chmod -R +rwx :adm /home/games is our best bet?\ [01:21] 1 [01:21] Tunix2: yup [01:21] Tunix2: that will only make changes to the group permissions. [01:21] Tunix2: it will not modify the owner and other permissions [01:21] * edbian agrees [01:22] meganerd my cat group file shpows adm:x:4:tunix so i assume tunix is saftly in that group also id shows "uid=1000(tunix) gid=(1000(tunix) groups=1000(tunix),4(adm) [01:22] Tunix2: looks good [01:24] * itilious is lost [01:24] .

You do not need to install an OS on it [01:29] (not strictly confined to Ubuntu) In order to use Bluetile, GNOME desktop is *required*, right? So I *have* to install Ubuntu (not Kubuntu, not Xubuntu)? [01:29] saal7193, Provided there is at least one HDD with an OS in the computer. [01:29] Ben64: it was a joke. [01:30] Ben64: lighten up.

[01:30] edbian thanks yes i already have other hdds with os [01:30] saal7193, You're good [01:30] saal7193, You can use that OS to format the new drive [01:30] saal7193, I'm assuming it's Linux! :D [01:30] Is it possible to list this server's channels? [01:31] /list [01:31] kassius: not recomended [01:31] edbian, i have both ubuntu and windows hdds [01:31] saal7193, good enough [01:31] nothing happens with /list [01:31] on smuxi [01:31] kassius, Look at the server's channel not in #ubuntu [01:32] Now my computer has a lot of system selection , and How do I clean-up [01:32] ok [01:32] ben64, Now my computer has a lot of system selection , and How do I clean-up [01:32] no luck on the audio drivers [01:33] kassius: /j #smuxi [01:33] kassius: see /msg alis help list [01:33] !alis [01:33] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[01:35] xj12, please see my private message [01:35] Visitt, Short answer, yes with a but... [01:35] hey guys, would ubuntu override my bios settings for Hyperthreading ? [01:36] Hi, I'm trying to install ubunto 10.10 on my htpc via my flash drive. I've followed the steps to putting it on the flash drive and turning it into the device to install on my htpc, in my BIOS my boot priority is removable devices. However, I keep getting "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot deice and press a key" [01:36] dslip_work, Ubuntu (or any OS) cannot change the settings in the BIOS [01:37] edbian: not saying its changing the bios setting, but overriding it, eg i set hyperthreading to off, but cat /proc/cpuinfo is showing 8 cores [01:37] Does anyone know of a console menu system for Virtual Box? [01:37] dslip_work, Perhaps it saw 8 cores but it is not using them. How many cores show up in gnome system monitor? [01:38] ola [01:38] edbian: no gui, but htop is showing 8 cores aswell [01:38] its a 1ru xeon rack server [01:38] edbian: how? [01:38] algume [01:38] hello [01:38] dslip_work, mmmm, not good. I'm not sure why that would happen. Perhaps it is ignoring the bios setting? [01:38] Visitt, how what? [01:38] alguem quer tc? [01:39] dslip_work, Why do you want hyperthreadding off? [01:39] edbian: that was my thoughts, i always figured bios was really only for old os's, and that linux self detected most things [01:39] Visitt, Short answer, yes with a but... [01:39] <_TiM_56> hello ther [01:39] <_TiM_56> *there [01:39] dslip_work, The bios is actually in more control that the OS. It comes before the OS. Are you sure you're setting it correctly [01:39] edbian: i will be running a minecraft server on this machine, minecraft servers tend to have 1 thread that is very heavy (not well multithreaded) [01:39] <_TiM_56> i need some help with local dns resolution [01:40] <_TiM_56> can anyone help me? [01:40] Visitt, ahh, you could change the source code, or use a nautilus script to create a new option. [01:40] thus I do not wish to waste cpu by simulating extra cores [01:40] does anyone see what I am typing? [01:40] dslip_work: having hyperthreading on won't hurt minecraft at all [01:40] ApOwen: maybe [01:40] ApOwen: NO [01:40] dslip_work, I'm not sure it will have a negative affect. [01:40] hi [01:41] sorry new irc client, thought it was sending my stuff to a bit bucket [01:41] Ben64: are you sure, all my previous benchmarking (not on linux though) showed that for single thread performance, no hyperthreading is best [01:41] dslip_work: minecraft isn't single threaded though [01:41] please can someone tell me the correct spelling of fadora as in the hat [01:42] when i run dmesg | grep EXT4 after boot i get four lines: the last 3 looks like there might be a problem: "re-mounted. Opts: discard,errors=remount-ro" [01:42] edbian ,can you help me ?Now my computer has a lot of system selection How do I clean-up [01:42] why is it remounting? [01:42] Bluebill-Wolf: fedora [01:42] much obliged [01:42] xj12, I don't know what you mean [01:42] Ben64: no it isnt, but 1 thread is always under heavy utilisation [01:42] can someone help me with virtualbox? [01:43] dslip_work: yeah, but hyperthreading wouldn't hurt unless you have a lot of system load [01:43] on my vps with xeon 4 cores I hit an average of 3.0 [01:43] and there is almost always 1 core fully utilised [01:43] vps : / [01:43] but is it a real "server"? [01:43] Ben64: yeah yeah, was a good stopgap to start with [01:44] i run two minecraft servers on my server [01:44] Ben64: i am hoping to run a few after this [01:44] Ben64: since its all the server has to do [01:44] ben64 22257 2.2 3.2 2169892 267844 pts/1 Sl+ Apr04 282:13 java -Xms512M -Xmx1536M -jar craftbukkit.617.jar [01:44] not a very high load at all [01:44] Ben64: how many players ? [01:44] right now... 2 [01:45] Ben64: that looks like a player cap of about 15 [01:45] Ben64: my server is a popular public server in australia, so we see a reasonable amount of players [01:45] eg been over 600 players on the map in last month [01:46] then you should get a really beefy server [01:46] at least 16GB ram [01:47] can someone help me with Virtual Box? [01:47] Is there such thing as an MMO MUD :D? [01:47] Ben64: i think i did pretty good for my budget. Spent $2500 AUD, 1ru rack, xeon x3470 @2.93ghz, 32gb DDR3 1066 ECC, 2 x 120Gb OCZ vertex2 SSD & 1 x 2tb seagate [01:47] dslip_work: internet connection? [01:47] How do I run a program in a shell under a user that has no login? [01:48] Ben64: will be 100mbit when it arrives at the host [01:48] I mean /sbin/nologin [01:48] dslip_work: you plan on having the world on the ssd? [01:48] Superstar: sudo -u usernamehere commandhere [01:48] ssd's in raid1 [01:48] thinking about it, figured a game server a great place to test this stuff out [01:48] since not 'mission critical' [01:48] rww: thanks bro, you always got the answers ^^ [01:49] * redt0de is away: autoaway [l(on) p(on)] [01:49] dslip_work: worlds have a lot of writing going on, would probably kill an ssd fairly quick [01:50] Ben64: why i said a test platform [01:50] Ben64: im ok with them dying if it happens, otherwise will be nice to see the 285mb/s speeds [01:50] Ben64: also why I did raid1 & have the 2tb for backup drive [01:51] dslip_work: my daughters in Melbourne getting her masters === marrusl_afk is now known as marrusl [01:51] Ben64: if I fear the write cycles are too much for the ssd, will just dump the map to ramdisk, with 32gb i have enough to put aside some for map [01:52] dslip_work: with the region system, shouldn't have an issue on a normal HDD [01:52] itaylor57: must be a smart girl! im in south australia, we have a saying here 'kick a vic' as there a bit of state rivalry with melbourne [01:52] dslip_work: LOL shes getting it in japanese [01:53] how can it both have heavy read/write and also be ok on standard HDD? i dont quite understand that (my ignorance im sure) [01:53] dslip_work: it's not a lot of data, but its a lot of writes [01:53] itaylor57: i would have said a masters in japenese would be awesome, till about a month ago :{ [01:54] Can someone tell me the difference between chrome and chromium browser? I know one is proprietary google and the other OSS but for example, I am trying to use silverlight/moonlight plugin but I don't know if I can select the moonlight plugin for chrome to use in chromium [01:54] dslip_work: yea she would have been in Tokyo if she had been accepted there but in Monash [01:55] soreau: chromium is the open source and chome is proprietary [01:56] soreau: I use chromium daily build [01:56] how much do you guys know of Redhat fedora? [01:56] soreau they are the same. [01:56] itaylor57: I ALREADY KNOW THAT, WHY DONT YOU TRY *READING* THE QUESTION [01:56] Bluebill-Wolf, a bit [01:56] smw: They're not *the same* [01:56] soreau, ok, I will list the differences [01:57] soreau: sorry I sent before I finished reading [01:57] soreau, 1. chrome has a colored logo. 2. Chrome has an updater (apt-get works just fine without it) [01:57] soreau, 3. chrome is compiled by google [01:57] smw: But why is one closed source and the other open? Doesn't it seem redundant? [01:57] soreau, 4. Chrome is branded by google and has the google log. [01:57] smw: Is it licensing stupidity? [01:57] soreau, it is not redundant it makes perfect sense [01:57] smw: How so? [01:58] soreau, google only approves the one they compiled [01:58] soreau, they do not want their name attached to something someone else compiled. [01:58] soreau, they also add in features that are licenced [01:58] smw: But how is it closed source? Or it's actually open source but they only approve the *binaries* they built? [01:58] soreau, for example. Chrome comes with flash [01:58] smw: So they add extra stuff to it? [01:58] ah [01:58] are they all capatiable with the firefox sync? [01:59] soreau, flash, their downloader, and that is all I can think of is added [01:59] soreau: I was going to give more info on moonlighting but your attitude isn't so good so good luck [01:59] smw: Ok [01:59] soreau, so they are the same for plugins [01:59] itaylor57: You can't even read, so how could you even know anything [01:59] how do i start a conversation with someone on one of my chat accounts in whatever the chat program is that comes installed by your username in the top right hand corner of the desktop [01:59] smw: Alright, thanks [02:00] UbuntuNoob, click the mail icon and "chat" [02:00] thanks smw [02:05] installing the ubuntu DVD, takes ages..wth === Mike is now known as Guest16419 [02:06] vacho: wut?

Will it be worthy of installation on the 28th? or is the wait for next lts version the best bet.

[03:18] ayecee: are there any other dhcp servers that support ipv4 and ipv6 simultaneously? [03:18] has anybody ever tried restoring their evolution tasks by just copying over the .evolution folder?

[03:32] I was told 64 bit OS uses more RAM than 32 bit === andrew_ is now known as Guest53556 [03:32] and the only benefit is being able to address over 4GB (3.2) of RAM [03:32] RAM is kinda in short supply on this netbook [03:33] only has 1GB [03:33] there is no more grub menu file on ubuntu ? [03:33] Sovek: that's not the only benefit of 64 bit, but in practise, and especially in your case, there's pretty much no benefit going 64 bit unless you have some morbid curiosity [03:34] guys, im stuck at the end of an install from terminal. how the heck do i continue?! http://imgur.com/7lMGQ === Guest53556 is now known as gillyman [03:35] luxurymode: what does it say at the end? [03:35] luxurymode: tab and enter [03:35] Sovek: incidentally, 32 bit ubuntu can use the "PAE" kernels to address more than 4 gigs of memory anyway, so it's more nuanced than you think [03:36] well this computer can handle 2GB max [03:36] I just havn't been able to upgrade to 2GB [03:36] ralph_: bingo! thanks! [03:37] hey guys, I have a question about gnome. I have ubuntu and think the update manager updated gnome, causing my ATI drivers to stop working. Is this a common issue? [03:37] partly because of lack of funds, difficulty in replacing said stick, and the stupid difficulty in getting to said RAM [03:37] luxurymode: no problem [03:38] Sovek: the 11.04 devs are aiming to supporting 1 gig as standard (stretching slightly uncomfortably to 512) so you should be fine. if you do feel the squeeze, there are plenty of other DEs to consider [03:39] milamber http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728579 I guess is solved, is upgrading [03:41] Hi guys, does anyone have any experience with reporting a bug? I've visited ubuntu.com and all the sub sites but couldn't quite figure out [03:41] ....how to report one [03:42] good evening guys [03:42] high [03:42] ralph_: go to the launchpad site for the program that you noticed displaying the bug [03:42] any dhcpd gurus here tonight? This one is probably an easy one, but it's a little more advanced than a vanilla dhcp setup. I'm setting up failover, and my question is about how to define a failover peer pool if I have multiple groups and static dhcp mappings in my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file. [03:42] ralph_: i reported my first bug the other day and i was pleased with how easy it is [03:43] can someone help me with mysql [03:43] heslam: okay thanks. although, its not for a program but rather missing driver support. You think they will take it there too? [03:43] ralph_: if you want to make it even easier, type in ubuntu-bug programname [03:44] ralph_: hm, i was actually thinking of reporting missing driver support for a graphics card i own too, and yeah - it's slightly harder as it's not exactly an obvious program [03:44] I'm an Ubuntu novice having sound issues - laptop speakers cut out after a few seconds of audio - headphones keep working. Anyone got an idea of where I should start to fix this? [03:45] heslam: okay thanks, I will check it out. Any tips? [03:45] ralph_: i remember being directed to a site where you could choose from a large list of possible things - not just programs, but subsystems too. i've forgotten where it was, though :( [03:46] ralph_: try seeing if there's an IRC channel specific to your driver/product/whatever [03:46] www.lottasay.com - New social network. Abundant benefits. [03:46] www.lottasay.com - New social network. Abundant benefits. [03:46] PythonGuru19: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:46] heslam: oh okay thanks. but silly question...how do I figure the irc channel thing out? [03:47] ralph_: sometimes it's easy to guess. for the radeon open source graphics drivers, it's #radeon. for something more obscure, you'll have to google [03:47] hello there [03:47] i need some help.. [03:47] hihi [03:48] is there anyone avaliable? [03:48] ralph_: what is it you're wanting to report the bug for, exactly? [03:48] Testando, just ask you ?

[03:59] should this work on ubuntu: sudo grpadd www-data [03:59] onecrazycat: it sometimes helps to rephrase the question when repeating it [03:59] onecrazycat: so you want to run more than one dhcpd server on the net? [03:59] sacarlson: I want a primary and a secondary [04:00] sacarlson: currently I have a single server, but I'd like to expand this to two [04:00] does anyone know how to send a private message in empathy 2.31 IRC? /msg and /query don't seem to work [04:00] how do i search a folder and include its subfolders in nautilus? [04:00] bonhoffer: i don't think so, do: man useradd [04:00] sacarison: I know that I must add a failover section to the dhcpd.conf file, but I don't know how to handle telling dhcp what range falls under that failover rule. [04:00] q see my windows partition .can indexing work there in ntfs to find some pdf for example_ [04:00] linux_is_my_hero: I don't know that there's a way to do that in nautilus. [04:01] ralph_: it's fine :) hope your bug reporting goes well [04:01] really? so i cant just search my whole computer for a particular file? [04:01] linux_is_my_hero: one would often use "find" for that on the commandline [04:01] onecrazycat: I tried running two before just to see what it would do and it seemed for some reason that the clients just picked one they used last until it went down. not sure how it's suposed to work [04:01] bonhoffer: iirc, it's useradd -G [04:02] hello, anyone can see me? [04:02] newbie1: yes [04:02] what is the indexing tool in ubuntu 10.10 [04:02] ayecee: thank you [04:02] well what if im doing it from nautilus so to bring up a list of all files in one folder, then using the lsit view, arrange them by file type so i could copy them to a separate folder, batch convert them, then copy them back [04:02] linux_is_my_hero: I don't know that there's a way to do that in nautilus. [04:02] milamber, thanks! [04:02] onecrazycat: one client seemed to have a problem when I turned one off and another one for some security reason in windows 7 I think but he was the only one that had the problem [04:03] s there another chat room for more advanced ubuntu stuff? [04:03] bonhoffer: np [04:03] bonhoffer: or adduser [04:03] hi folks, can I install ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 beta together on a machine in seperate partitions? [04:03] sacarlson: I don't want two simultaneously. I want one as a primary and one as a secondary. The primary will be active and the secondary will just wait for it to fail. [04:03] mahifrk: yes [04:04] linux_is_my_hero: in a more advanced chat you would be advised that using guis for batch processing is not the *right* way to do it. they would then tell you to write a bash script. [04:04] does anybody know the command to start indicator applet session [04:05] how do i just search for all the files in one folder including ones that are in subfolders [04:05] onecrazycat: ya that sounds like the way it should be, I'm not sure that's built into dhcpd cool if it was. maybe write a script that pooled for a dhcp connection and when it timed out have it start the demon on that system [04:05] no more q I managed to find files easily [04:06] sacarlson: it is in fact built into dhcp3. It's in the man pages… But I'm running things a little differently than the man pages. [04:06] linux_is_my_hero: for the most part -R means recursive (go through directories), so you can try: ls -R *.mp4 [04:07] linux_is_my_hero: to show all mp4 files [04:07] i have 6800 songs, i need to be able to make a list and then highlight them and copy them to a separate folder. [04:07] linux_is_my_hero i use ls [04:07] milamber: perhaps nwoi should learna bout scripts in linux? [04:07] linux_is_my_hero: or "find . -name *.mp4" [04:07] this would be a good time, yes :) [04:09] linux_is_my_hero: there is no time like the present. google 'bash script to convert to mp3' [04:09] swim: i can do it from the tty and have it come up in the GUI, I just need to get the subfolder command right. [04:10] !google | milamber [04:10] milamber: 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. [04:11] onecrazycat: I found this http://www.lithodyne.net/docs/dhcp/dhcp-4.html [04:11] or, how do i get better encoders for rhythmbox? [04:12] onecrazycat: I have also used the static ip assign with mac address as it sounds you now use [04:12] sacarlson: call it coincidence, but I was reading the EXACT same page when you sent it to me. Thanks though :) [04:12] sacarlson: YES! And I'm not sure how this fits into the equation. [04:12] Raikia: bash scripting is ot here. i was simply pointing him in the right direction. [04:12] onecrazycat: yes that page seems should give you what you need [04:15] sacarlson: hopefully so… We shall see when I roll this thing out in a few weeks and cross my fingers.

[04:55] luckysmack: what are you trying to do? [04:55] milamber, why cant i just type the earlier command you showed me and just change 'sdc' with 'sdd'? [04:55] hey guys, i have a quick newbie question. i want to install ubuntu on my mac. it currently has 2 partitions (1 for mac os x, 1 for windows via bootcamp). anyone have a recommendation for installing ubuntu so i can tri-boot? [04:56] Ty0: Just install it in a third partition. Ubuntu should see the other two and make grub point to them automatically :) [04:56] milamber: i setup some aliases in .bash_aliases and in .bashrc its supposed to load that file. but when i run source ~/.bashrc to load it all back up i get the not found issue [04:56] saal7193: the numbers after represent partitions, the filesystem can't tell what the partitions on that drive are. if you had data on it there are other options to try and 'best guess' the partition table, but because you didn't the easiest option is to format the drive. [04:56] nit-wit: I had him do that I think. [04:56] not sure if he actually did it... [04:56] edbian, are you sure ubutu/grub won't overwrite my windows bootloader or something? [04:57] milamber ok thank you [04:57] my smplayer not working [04:57] Ty0: Grub will overwrite the bootloader. But it will make entries for windows and Mac so you can still boot the other OS's [04:57] blueghost: install appmenu-qt [04:58] edbian, figured you all had they will get ther. [04:58] edbian: thanks :) any recommendation on how to go about making a third partition for ubuntu? can ubuntu setup do this from live cd? [04:58] Ty0: yes it can :) [04:58] Ty0: The installer should give you an automated option to do just that [04:58] whats the current ati proprietary driver version ubuntu uses? [04:59] how can i access my ubuntu termnal using windows xp pc [04:59] edbian: thanks! [04:59] plssssss help me i am new to ubuntu [04:59] can I assign certain application to use only swap memory to not use my ram? [05:00] luckysmack: iirc you have to edit $PATH b/c that is where source looks. try: help source in the terminal [05:00] dejan_: no [05:00] tsimpson:) but Official sources from the ubuntu install Qt4 software support globalmenu. they do not support my own development qt4 program [05:00] hmm I am trying to use make-kpkg and it fails saying can't find debian/rules, I give up <- it;s what she said [05:01] erm, why is that [05:01] blueghost: it's a bug in the dependency tree, it'll be fixed soon enough [05:01] tsimpson, are you sure no way 100% ? [05:01] milamber, theres a 'format drive' option on Disk Utility. is it ok to use that to format this drive? [05:01] tsimpson:) thx [05:01] milamber: ive done this many times. ive never had to edit PATH to do this. i have statements in there adding to path already. but telling the .bashrc file to load the .bash_aliases should be automatic if the file there [05:01] saal7193: should be fine [05:02] milamber, thanks [05:02] can i make a live CD on a USB thumbdrive without deleting the contents of the thumbdrive? only have 1 -_- [05:02] tsimpson:) thx you for your help [05:03] hi [05:03] Ty0: it depends on how the thing is partitioned [05:04] to check evolution mail and rss i need to each time run evolution and go inside it. is there any way that evolution just keep checking mails/rss every 30 mins and alert me if there is new mail? [05:04] help? [05:04] Abhijit: sorry I use thunderbird and akregator [05:05] Blue1, sorry I ddnt asked for poll evolution vs thundebird [05:05] :-p [05:05] hi! [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick has more than 400 wakeups per second. any workaround to reduce it? i have 2 cores [05:05] Abhijit: yeah in the preferences, you can set how often it checks it... [05:05] what format is a live CD jump drive? exFAT, or? [05:06] dejan_: parts of idle processes get placed in swap because they are unused, or used rarely. if something is used often it gets pushed out of swap and back into memory. you can't place "a program" in swap and it would make little sense to do so, as soon as it's used it'll eventually be promoted to memory [05:06] Blue1, joking! [05:06] Ty0: let me get one I think fat32, but don;t quote me - brb [05:07] bluefox83, but for that i need to keep evolutioon open? [05:07] Abhijit: uhm...i'm not sure O.o [05:07] ok [05:07] i check my email like...twice a day so i never really use a reminder [05:08] ok [05:08] tsimpson, what happens if ram gets full [05:08] but there might be something in there [05:08] i have my emails read in the morning :) [05:08] yeah [05:09] Ty0: yeah its formatted fat32 [05:09] ubuntu is awesome :) [05:09] dejan_: if a process requests memory and none is available, either swap space will be used, or something will be moved from memory into swap, freeing some memory for the process to use [05:09] Abhijit: is it a pop3 account or like gmail or something? there are other reminders you can install that make it a lot easier [05:09] if ram is full apps go in swap?

[09:33] preferably from within Windows [09:33] marzen, i dont have a back button [09:34] but a way from Linux will work as well [09:34] asiekierka: you need to restore grub from a livecd [09:34] !grub2 > asiekierka [09:34] asiekierka, please see my private message [09:34] asiekierka: ubottu has just sent you a pm detailing the process [09:34] i see [09:34] pksadiq, what should I do? === 50UAAJ6WZ is now known as faruq [09:34] can i install gnome3 on ubuntu10.04 ? [09:35] SiRius: no [09:35] Dazzled1: sorry, I don't know C++, might be there is something like system("system command") as in python os.temsys [09:35] os.system("") , sorry [09:35] saal7193: where did it go [09:35] :) [09:35] maybe it ran off?

[09:35] ShapeShifter499: if you are sure that nothing is happening, you may restart, but data might get errors [09:36] pksadiq, omg...no.......

[09:42] SiRius: if you want to do it, do it, but nothing to do with ubuntu [09:42] ipo: so you have the problem using the installer CD ? [09:42] ikonia: ?Yes [09:42] how do i copy a file from a remote machine to my local machine while connected via slogin? [09:43] ipo: have you tried the alternative install CD from ubuntu.com ? [09:43] Memphizzz: slogin ? [09:43] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell#Building like this [09:43] SiRius: if you want to - but it's nothing to do with ubuntu [09:43] ikonia: after the loading page , that cannot shwoing me any thing [09:43] I want to install Ubuntu from the alternate cd, but it doesn't detect the right partitions. It correctly detects the RAID, its name and size but not its partitions (2 TB RAID < 210 MB partition + 1.8 TB partition - totally wrong). Any ideas? [09:43] ikonia: yes slogin [09:43] Memphizzz: what is "slogin" [09:44] ikonia: ssh remote login [09:44] KNUBBIG: what raid technlogy are you using, hardware raid, fakeraid, software raid [09:44] Memphizzz: you scp (best not to reference ssh as slogin - that means nothing) [09:44] Is the swap partition necessary, or can the swap files be put in the main partition? [09:45] ikonia Mhh I'm using onboard Intel RAID controller (ASUS P8P67 Mainboard) [09:45] Danielcg25: partition is normally tidy [09:45] KNUBBIG: ok - so it's fake raid, that may be the problem [09:45] swap not necessary if you have big ram. [09:45] ikonia: well i as i only have to type slogin user@ip i thought slogin must be the name to use.. ive seen scp already but i thought as im already connected to the remote machine with ssh there must be a way without having to specify the user/pass again... [09:46] ikonia Ok what can I do? I had Ubuntu running np with my old comp with also had an Intel controller (was an ASUS P5Q) [09:46] Memphizzz: nope [09:46] which also had* [09:46] swap is moat efficient if you hard cost io is high [09:46] ikonia: What? I have 4GB of ram, the space isn't the problem Windows haven a requirement for under 4 partitions is a problem [09:46] ok [09:46] KNUBBIG: explain what the actual problem is with the disks, [09:46] not even k3b detects the empty disc [09:46] ok, that'll take some time [09:46] Windows 7 doesn't want to install because it thinks I have too many partitions [09:47] asiekierka: then might be some problem with drive, or the disk, try the terminal dd command [09:47] Danielcg25: windows does not have a requirement for under 4 partitions [09:47] KNUBBIG: summary/high level [09:47] Memphizzz: If you use private/public key authentication you don't need to type pass! [09:47] (1 BootLoader (2MacOSX (3 Swap (4Ubuntu [09:47] Danielcg25: ok - windows likes to be on the first partition, it doesn't care how many you have bellow that [09:48] ikonia: It says "Windows cannot be installed on this drive because it has too many partitions of this type" [09:48] Danielcg25: put it on the first partition, it won't be a problem [09:49] ikonia: How do I do that? [09:49] ikonia The RAID and its name is detected correctly, it says 2 TB which is correct as I have 2x 1TB HDD, but the partitions are wrong: I have created several partitions for Windows 7 and left about 350 GB blank, but the installer says: 100 MB boot (correct, Windows' fault), 1.8 TB ntfs partition (wrong, I got that separated into several partitions) and an additional partition of 210 GB NTFS [09:49] which is totally wrong, I don't even got any windows partition of that size. So the problem is I don't see the blank space on which I want to install Ubuntu [09:49] ikonia: might be it will overwrite the boot loader, I don't beleive Windows M$ === jamespage1 is now known as jamespage [09:49] KNUBBIG: are you sure you've not created an extended partition and then the others within that [09:50] pksadiq: what ? === LarsTorben is now known as LarsTo === LarsTo is now known as Petersberg [09:50] hio [09:51] My chrome is eating 100% cpu and i cant kill it? Not even with kill -9 xxxx Its a zombie process.. any ideas how to kill it?

[09:51] ikonia: I mean don't recommend Danielcg25 to install to first partition, windowys try to be oversmart and put some partition table to a small 100MB partition [09:51] wgrant: Not with me. I obtain: "Please wait while bug data is being processed." since 06:24 MESZ = GMT+2. [09:51] pksadiq: so ? [09:51] ikonia they are correct in Windows [09:52] anyone know if there's a ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 "mobile" edition? [09:52] ikonia: so if the first partition is formatted the whole harddisk might damage, I had such an error before [09:52] KNUBBIG: really, the only thing I can think of (and this is weak) is that it's picking up a partition table from one of the physical disks, rather than the one from the raid partitiont able [09:52] So what do I do?? [09:52] pksadiq: yes ? and, if you install to a partition it will blank it, [09:52] Lattyware: there isn't one [09:52] oops [09:52] illmortal: there isn't one [09:52] ikonia okay, but why does it detect a 210 GB partition? There's none, even in Windows [09:53] hi [09:53] damn... I really do not want to use Windows on my UMPC =\ [09:53] KNUBBIG: for the same reason I've just suggested, but that is just a suggestion, no fact [09:54] ikonia ah okay, thanks, I'll post a ss of the disk layout in Windows, maybe that helps to say whether I created an extended partition or not [09:54] KNUBBIG: yeah, look at the partition tables on the two physical disks, see if there is anything there [09:54] ikonia how do I do that?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:38] omg :@ [10:41] oh sorry [10:41] forgot to say my question KNUBBIG !! :( [10:41] well... on February i ordered two Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit Cds- one gnome , one kde [10:42] np :D [10:42] about the ship it service. and today they recieved [10:43] so now i want install them. first my PC hardware: e5500 intel dualcore, 2 gb ram, wd green hdd, i only do this: openoffice, libreoffice pidgin, thunderbird [10:43] the problem is, not sure, if 10.10 is right for me, and if gnome or kde it is, is right for me [10:44] one thing nice on ubuntu is you can install diff gui's in the package manager [10:44] TorbenLars = LarsTorben? [10:44] like xfce [10:44] pick the one you enjoy the best. [10:44] and i have to say: i already asked, but dont get an good answer for me. [10:44] TorbenLars, Question: How do you like your coffee? [10:45] my coffee?? dont know what this means but, i like it ! :) [10:45] TorbenLars, With milk (cream) and sugar? [10:45] "Black as midnight on a moonless night." [10:45] hi [10:45] Gto286, okay. its a pity that i havent got a XFCE cd. but i can download it. if its good. [10:45] but i have to say that i dont want to use unity. [10:46] Define good [10:46] I didn't think 10.10 defaulted to Unity [10:46] TorbenLars; just go in the synaptic package manager. you can see if it's there. can install doff enviroments like xfce. e16 e17. etc.... [10:47] Gto286: normally i like gnome (or maybe kde most) but dont want to switch unity [10:47] to [10:47] TorbenLars, Linux - any distribution, really - not just Ubuntu - you can make it AS YOU LIKE IT - and HOW YOU LIKE IT might not be how someone else might like it - therefore, it's literally a "roll your own". Some people like Gnome, some like KDE, some like XFce, some like whatever. The point being is that you make YOUR desktop the way YOU want it - custom. To make your life and your ergonomics easy. [10:47] i have Gnome 2.x . kde , xfce, e16 [10:47] Gto286: do you use ubuntu 10.10 ? [10:48] negative. i'm on ubuntu 10.04 lts [10:48] okay [10:48] but XFCE is quite different from gnome isnt it [10:48] TorbenLars: If you don't know what you like, who buy your clothes? [10:48] re [10:48] oh yes. i find xfce to much like windows... [10:48] red2kic: i really like gnome ubuntu 10.04 but 11.10 only unity [10:48] i have it there just as a backup [10:49] ok [10:49] TorbenLars: That's more than six months. I fear you will be back asking us the very same questions. [10:49] what is more than six months ago? [10:50] TorbenLars: The point of linux (or freedom) is that you don't HAVE to use unity in 11.10. Sure, it may be default but you can uninstall it and run old gnome 2.28 [10:50] hi, on maverick, how do I remove the keyboard indicator from the indicator applet? [10:50] but as stated it don't matter on opinions. you install then custom it to your liken' that works for you [10:50] yes but i think it is difficult to switch back to gnome [10:50] i have a query. i got two laptops. one on a VPN and another on an open network. is there any way in which i can use synergy between the two of them? [10:50] trupheenix: teamviewer ? [10:51] TorbenLars: what is teamviewer? i was referring to synergy so that i can share the same keyboard and mouse between them. [10:51] ok [10:51] i think it is difficult to switch back to gnome [10:52] TorbenLars: It is not. [10:52] ok [10:52] thanks [10:52] then i will go for 10.10 ? [10:53] i think [10:53] Does anyone know about aircrack and ubuntu 11.04? the "fixed channel mon0:-1"-problem has returned i cant fix it like i did before [10:53] no sorry @ rednuht [10:54] It is my first step in ubuntu. I downloaded skype but I don't know how to install it [10:54] TorbenLars: April 28 is when Natty (11.04) comes out. However, if you wish to use solid stable, opt for Debian. You want to use latest Ubuntu? Go for 10.10 (or wait until 11.04 comes out). 10.04LTS (Long-Term Support) is nice too. [10:54] !skype | kinda [10:54] kinda: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [10:55] red2kic: normaly i want solid rock stable yes. [10:55] but i cant complain about ubuntu [10:56] Thank you ubottu [10:56] TorbenLars: You would want Debian (or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). [10:56] np :D [10:56] TorbenLars: The choice is your. [10:56] fc [10:56] If anyone has some help about the Ubuntu installer detecting wrong partitions on a fake-raid, I'd greatly appreciate it :) [10:56] red2kic: may i ask you, what do you use ? [10:57] TorbenLars: Either. I don't use Debian or Ubuntu -- but I have been meaning to give Debian a try sometimes in VM. [10:58] ok [10:58] and what does you use ? :D arch ? [10:58] TorbenLars: Yes. [10:58] !ot | TorbenLars [10:58] TorbenLars: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[11:48] tbf: its currently in testing [11:49] GOMI: neither [11:49] anyone? [11:49] inashdeen: you're asking for a conflicting thing "I want it clean" "I want to keep my stuff" [11:50] i give in! [11:50] inashdeen: you are asking for an unclean/clean system [11:50] popey, hmmm because i get kicked out to login screen , i think its because my cpu hits 100% [11:50] GOMI: thats not the reason you got logged out [11:50] GOMI: there may be an issue causing CPU to hit 100, but the fact that CPU hit 100 wont log you out [11:50] inashdeen, not sure you can transfer them since they will most likely be different versions...best thing... list the applications,, then reinstall on natty [11:50] * YankDownUnder wonders if he's hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL [11:51] inashdeen: 11.04 installer can upgrade a system doing a clean install and repackage stuff you added [11:51] popey, oke [11:51] inashdeen: its very neat [11:51] Compiled programs - not the data, but the programs - will have to be compiled again - unless you can find packages of them.

[12:03] LjL, If I'm being slightly if not hugely cynical, it's because it's relatively offtopic, and more often than not, I get bit**ed at for not being on topic...

[12:07] Well he did give me permission and made a bet with me :P [12:07] 127.0.0.1 is always a good one to hack... [12:07] But you are an odd case. [12:07] Georgie; good luck.... [12:08] Pumpkin-: crypttab may be what you're looking for -- static information about crypted filesystems [12:08] It's not working for some reason [12:09] Georgie: Please note such methods are mainly useful for convincing people to move off WEP security, WPA and WPA2 are much more secure.

He is using WPA 2 with a PSK [12:09] i'm on wpa/wpa2 . and my wifi is hidden.... === sebastian is now known as pandote [12:10] Gto286: Wifi hidden doesn't actually help that much, but WPA2 helps alot ^_^ [12:10] Georgie: then you're out of luck unless he has a weak password, which is unlikely.

[12:14] Georgie: Nothing, if his password is sufficiently complicated you wont crack it. [12:14] Georgie: if he has wpa2 IVs won't help at all [12:15] let's say it's weak, like an alpha numeric password [12:15] IVs is for WEP [12:15] are* [12:15] whoops it's regular WPA :D [12:15] Hi guys!

I want to set the server to GMT-5 which should set my clock to 06:22 am ; but when I do this: ln -vsf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT\-5 /etc/localtime ; it doesn't work. In fact, what it does is set my clock to 16:22 pm. Why is that? I noticed that if I set it to GMT+5, it does set my clock correctly, but that isn't the timezone I want... [12:26] Can anyone tell me the difference between using apt-get dist-upgrade and update-manager-core?

[13:05] phoenixsampras: squid [13:06] ikonia: so i will have http://domain.com/redmine/task=23&id=4 which will be equivalent to the internal server? [13:08] phoenixsampras: well, you could do it with squid as a proxy service, mod_rewrite in apache which is more visible to the end users, there is also tools within htaccess that can do rewrites at a certain level [13:08] phoenixsampras: really depends in exactly what you want as your first request was a little generic [13:11] is postfix good way to up mail server for my web-site ?

I'm not sure what 'up mail server for my web-site' means. [13:18] ikonia: why not. The server version dosent update by default if it is not another LTS version?

[13:19] ikonia, why is that [13:19] elb0w: ask canonical [13:19] that sucks [13:19] hi [13:19] dist-upgrades for core upgrade not for release upgrade [13:19] I'm using a live ubuntu cd.

Then after awhile , about 2 minutes, it works again. [13:21] mcb_1: Just because it works for you doesn't mean that its the right way to do things. [13:21] Pici: It will not work this way in Debian, but in Ubuntu it works fine. But i will agree with this argument. LOL. [13:22] Pici: The better way is to follow the release notes. [13:22] I'm using a live ubuntu cd. I'm trying to save a pic off the net, to my harddrive. how do I allow write permissions to my hdd [13:22] mcb_1: Yes. They say to use update-manager or do-release-upgrade [13:23] Hi everyone! Someone broke http://www.ubuntu.com/countdown/banner2.png Who did that and why?? Thank you.

It has a base ubuntu 10.04 64bit server install (updated) with only openssh-server and nfs-kernel-server added. The entire disk (with exception of swap) is one big / partition on ext4 [13:25] kost-bebix: I'll follow up on it, give me a few minutes. [13:25] egrep can be used also... [13:25] you can also use wildcards ie grep pattern *.xml [13:26] Did a simple nfs export on it, attach it to ESXi and move a machine to it. Whilst moving to it the machine becomes *extremely* unresponsive on anything i/o related. Whilst the copy on NFS goes fine, it's not possible to mount the NFS share on other machines (server does not respond). ssh'ing to the machine works fine (so there's atleast some bandwidth left) [13:26] Very simple stuff like 'echo 1.2.3.4 beh >> /etc/hosts' takes over 5 mins!! any ideas? [13:27] Machine top show 70-95% i/o wait, doubt it's the disks, these have their LEDs burning about 1/7th of the time... [13:27] Hi ! Does someone know where the md5sum file is stored on a LiveCD?

[13:36] im sure its something simple [13:36] i tried route add default gw [13:36] AntiSociaL: i'm familiar with routing tables, not with pptp on linux tho' [13:36] SIO something something error [13:36] hi [13:36] ok, well, lets try, what is a standard route to have on a linux router? [13:37] Hi ! Does someone know where the md5sum file is stored on a LiveCD? Because I changed a package into the CD and when reinstall, it says "bad md5sum" ? [13:37] say i have public iface eth0 and private lan on eth1, how would i pass lan traffic from eth1 to eth0? [13:37] hello! standby on my ubuntu installation returns me to a black screen when i resume, and resuming requires me to press the physical button on the front of my desktop in order to even react [13:37] remember having this problem on all my recent ubuntu installations, any tips? [13:37] eii [13:37] oala [13:37] AntiSociaL: came to my mind two or thre methods [13:37] aeon-ltd: it seems to be the scheduler, I changed it to cfq (whilst large copy was going on) but it was still unresponsive for about 5 mins, think it needed to flush the stuff that was already in cache by the 'old' scheduler policy, now it's on cfq it's *much* more responsive. Any tips tho'? [13:38] olA [13:38] first, use a proxy [13:38] AntiSociaL: standard routes depend on what your gateway is and/or where your internet connection is [13:38] mi from is spania [13:38] two, use that linux as a router [13:38] im speack spanish [13:38] !es | loculinux [13:38] loculinux: 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. [13:38] three, bind both network devices together [13:38] AntiSociaL: for example, my router (towards internet) is 192.168.0.1, my ip is 192.168.0.101 and my def gw thus points to 192.168.0.1 [13:38] any help with wireless? I cant get it to work [13:38] linux as a router is what i am attempting to do [13:39] right [13:39] AntiSociaL: the address for the gateway *must* be local. so if your ip is 192.168.0.101/24 it won't allow you to point to 10.0.8.19 as def gw, since it doesn't know how to get there [13:39] #ubuntu+1 [13:39] ok, that means you are going to send all traffic from local network uniquely through that linux machine, right? [13:40] correct [13:40] give me a sec [13:40] sfeole, my cuz told me to get gnome. he said I'd like it 'cause it's more eye-candy and user-friendly like windows. I tried getting it and in the dependencies, it said I I first need to get something like swfdec-mozilla..?? so I then tried getting that and even it said I needed something. so I just gave up and un-installed EVERYTHING that started with "gnome.." now, I have no toolbar at the bottom of my comp. I'm using a live ubu [13:40] ntu cd right now to chat in xchat. how can I like reinstall all those gnome thingies and thier dependencies to the ubuntu OS on my hdd [13:40] how to change logon screen in ubuntu 10.19 [13:40] and yes freakynl, im aware of routing, i just dont perfectly understand routing tables [13:40] sorry 10.10 [13:41] AntiSociaL: ok, so what are you trying to do that gives the failure? [13:41] LMAO @ mymeatinyourseat sounds like the biggest tard ever in comps :P [13:41] man ive tried everything... [13:41] mali: those comments aren't welcomed here, please keep them to yourself [13:41] back [13:41] route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0 === kniles is now known as funjat [13:41] how to i chnge my login screen in ubuntu 10.10? === funjat is now known as kniles [13:42] mali: There is no need for insults. [13:42] i think i FINALLY did it , yes flash is working again no shockwave crashes , no rebooting after killing bonobo-server [13:42] route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev ppp0 or something [13:42] am a happy man now [13:42] wasn't meant to be an insult.. I was just enjoying the read [13:42] GOMI: congrats [13:42] come on, we all been there once [13:42] my gnome art manager didnt do it [13:42] :( [13:42] lol :p thanks [13:42] AntiSociaL: it is going to depend enterely in the sotware you are going to use to route things [13:42] anyone gonna help me [13:42] you ruined your gnome desktop on a live cd meat? [13:43] mymeatinyourseat: what's the actual problem ? [13:43] software used: debian [13:43] reboot first of all.. but sorry, I missed what you rproblem was to start with [13:43] AntiSociaL: first, configure your linux machine to connect directly to internet, and test it until it is working properly [13:43] just standard, good old fashion, debian [13:43] hi [13:43] musi : google ubuntu-tweak [13:43] for example [13:44] AntiSociaL: next, configure your LAN, until it is working properly, this is the tricky part, because you need to make your linux works as a dhcp server and other things [13:44] i have set autoselect address value to true in about:config in firefox. still its not automatically selecting addres? help? [13:44] then run it form console, you will get a thing saying that [13:44] the linux machine has a connection to the internet, the lan has a connection to the linux machine, the linux machine is not passing traffic to the internet' [13:44] aeon-ltd: Anything else I should think of but the scheduler? Much more responsive now... but should I allow it to cache 5,7G? [13:44] Hello o: [13:44] you don't need ubuntu-tweak [13:44] mali, my cuz told me to get gnome. he said I'd like it 'cause it's more eye-candy and user-friendly like windows. I tried getting it and in the dependencies, it said I I first need to get something like swfdec-mozilla..?? so I then tried getting that and even it said I needed something. so I just gave up and un-installed EVERYTHING that started with "gnome.." now, I have no toolbar at the bottom of my comp. I'm using a live ubun [13:44] tu cd right now to chat in xchat. how can I like reinstall all those gnome thingies and thier dependencies to the ubuntu OS on my hdd [13:44] Hi ! Does someone know where the md5sum file is stored on a LiveCD? Because I changed a package into the CD and when reinstall, it says "bad md5sum" ? [13:44] anyone have any ideas why my desktop 10.10 installation doesn't resume from suspend? [13:44] AntiSociaL: passing traffic as in from other machines, or internet is not accesible locally either? [13:44] !resetpanel [13:44] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:44] @mali , i already have ubuntu tweek , it jst changes the login screen and icon [13:44] mymeatinyourseat: look at that [13:44] freakynl: no idea [13:45] the linux machine has internet just fine, and is serving dhcp to lan [13:45] i wnat to change the logon screen style too [13:45] can u help? [13:45] AntiSociaL: have you red: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:45] line 351 in something.py is deprecated plse use something.. then you go to /usr/lib/tweak/wehrcver it says, open the file and replace isInstalled with is_installed (although that is just to avoid the msg really)then you can change login, also, ignore the icon errors if you change theme [13:45] musi: then look up login managers [13:45] give me an example musi [13:45] eg. slim , gdm, xdm kdm [13:45] AntiSociaL: if you are running debian you should be asking in #ubuntu but since this is more of a networking issue I would recommend #networking or going to PM with cablop [13:45] AntiSociaL: i have usually done NATing with 'ipmasq' [13:45] AntiSociaL: I assume you are avoiding use of NAT routing for some reason? Because that would be the obvious way to get connectivity from the internal network range to the outside world. [13:45] s/should/shouldn't/ [13:45] AntiSociaL: getting it to pass traffic to the internet if it works locally is easy.. just 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' that will enable ip forwarding [13:45] i have set autoselect address value to true in about:config in firefox. still its not automatically selecting addres? help? [13:45] mymeatinyourseat, ok [13:46] so what DID you have before you did this? [13:46] AntiSociaL: you are not going to only need to pass traffic, you need dhcp to assign ips to your LAN machines, you also need to find a way to resolve DNS names, and maybe a firewall in that machine [13:46] and also, using a 'live .. what?' [13:46] mali, sorry, what?? [13:46] Can someone recommend me a good IM for Ubuntu that is able to hide groups? All the ones I found are not capable of doing so and it drives me crazy. [13:46] mymeatinyourseat, live usb /cd? [13:46] AntiSociaL: you won't notice it works then tho', because it sends out using the internal IP towards the internet, and internet obviously doesn't know how to route back (assuming your isp doesn't filter the traffic to being with). [13:46] oh I SEE [13:46] dhcp server is working fine [13:46] you are using live atm, as you don't know what to do? [13:46] !who [13:46] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:46] AntiSociaL: so you'll need iptables to do masquerading or nat (sourcenat) [13:46] i have tried ipv4 forward [13:46] well, if you were using ubuntu, you had gnome, so basically do like this [13:46] AntiSociaL: you need both the forward, and snat/masq rules in iptables [13:47] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:47] should pull in what you need [13:47] Hi All [13:47] and also get back your gnome-panel and stuff [13:47] hello can someone run at test for me please? can anyone tell me the permissions of the /var/cache/ldconfig directory? [13:47] ok let me google that [13:47] Hi all [13:47] rememebr, the ubuntu desktop is gnome [13:47] !who | mali [13:47] mali: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:47] sorry, that was for mymeatinyourseat [13:48] awful nick btw [13:48] :P [13:48] AntiSociaL: why are not you using a standard router?

[13:50] AntiSociaL: try this software, webmin, maybe it is going to solve your issues and saving you from some headaches [13:50] musi, open terminal in applications and type :sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow.then logout and see. [13:50] hi [13:50] how to install tar.gz file in ubuntu [13:50] Can someone run at test for me please? can someone tell me the permissions of the /var/cache/ldconfig directory? [13:50] musi gnome or kde [13:51] mymeatinyourseat, after you get back your desktop stuff, although to be honest getting back the panels and stuff .. has far easier ways but for simplicity, just try that one [13:51] genome [13:51] d1onysos: 664 [13:51] musi have you changed your login wallpaper?

It is still off center. [14:02] Any ideas why my mac address is shown as 00:00:00:00:00:00 to ohter windows users, but i can see it properly ? [14:02] musi, yes they created it simply man. [14:02] I saw that ubuntustudio has some ''real time kernel patchs'', why that? [14:03] because ubuntu studio uses a "real time kernel" [14:03] musi: Those are designed for older versions of GDM. The more recent versions that GNOME released are not compatible. [14:03] so do i create it? [14:03] ok [14:03] Guest63901: the patches are probably to fix bugs [14:03] musi, try using ubuntu 11.04. [14:03] audh, musi: That will not solve his issue. [14:03] IdleOne: thank you, that would help, if I understood what it was talking about, and if I knew what to look out for. Not that up with Ubuntu.

[14:05] !md5 | Frizz [14:05] Frizz: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:05] <[TK]D-Fender> Frizz: because it would ahev to be PART of the CD's calculation. [14:05] no but its nice musi. [14:05] musi use ubuntu alphas or betas if you are intending to test the version and send feedback and help to improve it, if you are planning to use the ubuntu for work or study or other stuff, use a stable version, if you don't care about being in the bleeding edge then use the LTS (now the 10.04) or the latest stable [14:05] no no [14:05] Hello! i booted to ubuntu now... but um, my nvidia drivers fail to start x. Apparently the kernel module mismatches the driver used. I tried to reinstall the driver again and could start x but after reboot the same problem came up again.

[14:06] cablop, im using a gtx470 with the... xx.19.44 drivers [14:06] nathic: #ubuntu-offtopic [14:06] nathic: Not on Ubuntu channels. [14:06] viliny, afaik, you need to remove nuveau drivers first, it is not an easy task, but research about it [14:06] but my kernel module appears to be of xx.19.06 [14:06] no thanks [14:06] <[TK]D-Fender> Frizz: Chicken & egg problem. You can get it off the main site spearately [14:06] iceroot: no advertising in ubuntu channels :) [14:06] :) [14:06] [TK]D-Fender: during install, "anna" retrieves packages and compare their sums ; i want to know where it founds the sums [14:06] IdleOne: ubuntu-offtopic is like /dev/null :) [14:06] cablop, im on runlevel 1 in a irssi window :/ [14:06] viliny: how did you install the nvidia driver [14:06] iceroot: No. People use that channel. [14:07] Ben64, the nvidia .run file, installed it [14:07] Pici: for offtopic stuff [14:07] iceroot: yeah, we are trying to class up the joint a little [14:07] viliny, dis you install the nvidia drivers from the repositories? [14:07] viliny: theres your problem, let ubuntu take care of it [14:07] <[TK]D-Fender> Frizz: If you're referring to individual package integrity taht would be in the compressed archive heder [14:07] <[TK]D-Fender> header [14:07] Pici: but ok [14:07] okay... can i just install from repos and hope it fixes it? [14:08] viliny, some nvidia drivers will work well, some others don't [14:08] I changed it also [TK]D-Fender so I suppose that there is a md5sum file somewhere in the initrd [14:08] viliny: you'd have to remove the stuff you have now [14:08] musi,are you here. [14:08] ikonia, I'm trying to install from the alternate CD, so I have to use the desktop CD for the live system, just fyi, don't know if it makes any difference [14:08] viliny, but ben64 is right, you have to remove things before, remove the nvidia driver if you used the one from nvidia website [14:09] cablop: i did use that... but im unsure as to how i should go about removing the drivers [14:09] viliny: it's not working now? [14:09] those drivers use a flag, smething like uninstall, maybe ollowed by one or two dashes before [14:09] okay, i can use my phone to surf for instructions [14:10] vinily something like 'sudo nvidia-driver-installer.sh uninstall' [14:10] ill try [14:10] if it's not working now theres probably been a kernel update === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [14:11] and so it's not even installed anymore, and the ubuntu repo would work fine [14:11] vinily then restart, don't forget to restar, open a graphic session, go to System, Administration, Additional Drivers and let Ubuntu offer you one [14:11] ikonia, it detects a 1.8 TB HDD called games (which is wrong, my partition for that is smaller), a 210 GB Windows Partition and 100MB system reserved. If I try to access the Games partition, it works and shows the correct directories of my games partition but the other partitions are missing [14:12] vinily, nvidia drivers from nvidia website are more up to date, but they tend to break each time you upgrade your system [14:12] vinily but drivers from ubuntu repos care about each update and act accordingly [14:12] i use a ppa for ubuntu drivers [14:13] if the deb package in the ppa is well done it will work well too vinily ben64 [14:13] #ubuntu+1 [14:14] ok, now my question, anyone could suggest a good software as a todo manager? i tried taskcoach, but it is so buggy, i tries tomboy, but it is so nice for notetacking but lacks in hierachies and other was to classify information [14:14] any good suggestion? [14:14] and not basketnote... no windows version [14:15] evernote... [14:15] KNUBBIG: could you do "sudo fdisk -l" against it and pastebin it please [14:15] but evernote has no linux version [14:15] hi. i see that i have two versions of gcc (dpkg -l shows: 4.4-base and 4.5-base) on my system (ubuntu 10.10). is that normal? does ubuntu comes out of the box with two versions of gcc? === sebner_ is now known as sebner [14:16] cablop, i installed nvidia-current [14:16] im now on desktop [14:16] tomekh: shouldn't do ,unless it's an upgrade that's not been cleaned up [14:16] but my top bars of every windows is missing, the one with _ X [] and so forth [14:16] cablop: I have try several aproach to do it. Currently I keep it on gmail or evolution. For a time worked ok with a note on tomboy as I linked a note on every task with more details [14:16] all my windows pile in the left upper corner [14:16] viliny ok old card [14:17] old card? [14:17] old card issue [14:17] http://pastebin.com/Z05jnMiT that is how it's look [14:17] ikonia: ^ [14:17] what do you mean by old card? [14:17] viliny: alt-f2 'compiz --replace' or 'metacity --replace' depending on your window manager of choice [14:17] tomekh: I don't mind how it looks, I'm just suggesting a way forward [14:17] ikonia, yes, http://pastebin.com/3eVHn21e [14:18] jorgeu an email approach with thunderbird could work... [14:18] KNUBBIG: I think I see what's happened here [14:18] but... the problem is that to take notes is not a simple task [14:19] that worked, that you aeon-ltd [14:19] thank you* [14:19] viliny give me 2 minutes, breakfast time [14:19] ikonia, okay, and what? :) [14:19] KNUBBIG: I can't explain why it's happened, but...... [14:19] viliny: 'welcome [14:20] KNUBBIG: ok - look at the output of /dev/sda that partition table is the partition table you're seeing in ubuntu, that's why it things the partitions are wrong, it's reading that as your raid partition [14:20] my proprietary driver under additional drivers says my nvidia_current is activated but not in use... i tried deactivating and reactivating and booting but didn't work. Wonder what it is that i AM using at the moment then [14:20] KNUBBIG: sdb doesn't have a partition table, as it's part of the raid [14:20] cablop: a draft email? well in that case you can use a napkin [14:20] ikonia, oh okay, yes I can see that :o [14:20] ikonia: i have gcc-4.4, gcc-4.4-base and gcc-4.5-base. i have two versions of gcc, or i have gcc-4.4 + gcc-4.5-base which contains some base files required by other packages? [14:21] KNUBBIG: dm0 IS the raid array, and if you look at it's partition table it's mostly correct in terms of what you see in windows, however for some reason other partitions are being shown as seperate devices (dm1 for example) rather than a partition on dm0 - also if you look at your partition table on dm0 it's not laid out correclty (look at the warnings) [14:21] anyone successfully deployed to unicorn? [14:21] tomekh: that's probably why you have 2 versions, a package depens on the other version so it's been installed [14:22] ikonia, yes, okay [14:22] hello peeps! [14:22] KNUBBIG: does that make sense to you ? [14:22] a quick question [14:22] ikonia, what you say or what happened? :) [14:22] KNUBBIG: either/both [14:23] I messed up my Ubuntu 10.10 after trying to uninstall the fglrx drivers [14:23] ikonia, what you say yes, why that happened, no [14:23] I cannot get to run the graphical interface anymore [14:23] ePierre---: you have driver from AMD? [14:23] I have an error in the Xorg.log saying "failed to load module fglrx" [14:23] I had them [14:23] ePierre---: remove that line [14:23] KNUBBIG: that's the part I can't explain, I suppose if it was partitioned in windows, eg logical volumes rather than partitions, that could be an example reason [14:23] ePierre---: if you dont use it anymore [14:23] ePierre---: probably because you removed the driver.... why would you do that [14:24] then tried to remove them using the method [14:24] ikonia, afaik I created them the same way I did on my old computer/laptop :( Is there anything I can do about it?

[14:25] ubuntu 10.04 ana above can run with no xorg.conf, just detecting the settings on the way [14:25] KNUBBIG: you'd have to (in my view) remove the partitions and recreate them, also int he fdisk output look at the partition type, I've never seen that before [14:25] you mean in /etc/X11/ right [14:25] ? [14:25] right [14:25] I looked up and have no xorg.conf file [14:25] and plus [14:25] Is there any way to update ubuntu from 10.4 to 10.10 from terminal using downloaded image file? [14:25] I already did the dpkg-reconfigure [14:26] Has anyone experienced problems with Empathy showing online Facebook contacts as offline??

[14:26] ikonia, (thanks for your help) :) [14:26] so [14:26] ePierre---: you have installed driver from .bin file? [14:26] no [14:26] I installed the closed source one long time ago [14:26] using the traditional proprietary drivers install method [14:26] Any help?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:27] why do you want to update @ Xin [14:27] I was thinking of trying to re-enable those close source drivers for the moment [14:27] update? [14:28] yes from 10.4to 10.10 [14:28] i m upgrading gurlkeee [14:28] yes but why do you want that because [14:28] look here: [14:28] !lts [14:28] 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) [14:28] bcz therez someprblm installing apps [14:28] ePierre---: reinstall them, and care when you upgrade kernel and reinstall [14:28] something lyk E: Error mounting [14:28] but in the doc (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) they say In Ubuntu 10.10, this is found under System->Administration->Additional Drivers. ... and I dont have access to that because it' s graphical, so how to activate that in a tty? [14:28] if you find proprietary drivers in the repos, i suggest you to use them [14:29] cablop: do you know how to do that in a TTY? I dont know what packages it is [14:29] Xin dont upgrade :) [14:29] ubuntu is based on open source, but it is not intended to be open source only, ubuntu is intended to make a factible alternative to other operative systems for the common user, so, it is better to use with it what works the best with it [14:29] why? [14:29] because 10.04 is longer supported then 10.10 [14:29] Xin: because 10.04 is LTS [14:29] right [14:30] the thing is [14:30] and in two weeks comes 11.04 [14:30] kay [14:30] ePierre---: try sudo aptitude, better that apt-get, but not as easy as synaptic is [14:30] but i cant install apps usin apt-get [14:30] I have aplane for the US tomorrow, my latptop is messed up and I need to fix it before then! [14:30] Xin: why not [14:30] Xin: If you want to upgrade you can go ahead and do so. You can't upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 directly anyway. You'll need to upgrade to 10.10 first. [14:30] E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall [14:30] Xin: what do you type [14:30] ikonia, I'll brb on my windows pc [14:30] aptitude, good idea! But what does the "System->Administration->Additional Drivers" do exactly? [14:30] Xin: (although you'll want to fix that error you're getting first) [14:31] sudo apt-get install vlc [14:31] ok [14:31] ePierre---: anyway, you uised an installer, right? was a .deb installer? or bin or sh? i think that installer would have a uninstall flag or switch [14:31] Xin: try sudo apt-get update && sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:31] kay [14:31] ePierre---: that menu option attempt to detect your hardware and offer you the restricted drivers available for it [14:31] cablop: no, I used System->Administration->Additional Drivers ! [14:31] Xin: and sudo apt-get install -f [14:31] and 1 more prblm with gtk desktop recorder [14:32] that screen lags [14:32] yes, but how to achieve what the graphical magic does with this screen in a TTY? [14:32] XIn gnome or kde [14:32] Xin: set higher fps [14:32] how [14:32] gnome [14:32] ok I will try aptitude [14:32] ok hm [14:32] thanks! [14:32] Xin: in options... [14:32] Epierre--- try aptitude [14:32] ok [14:32] ePierre---: let me remember one thing... mmmmm ok, afaik you can start ubuntu and use the safe mode, safe mode will ofer you an option to start with standard vga or low graphics driver... somethng like that, use it to be able to boot into your system and remove the repo drivers [14:34] jorgeu your email approach keeps ringing bells in my head... mmmm it will be simple, nice, and help me to sync the things accross operative systems and it is available everywhere [14:34] Morning all [14:34] Anyone help me with recordmyDesktop?

[14:44] snu, i wouldnt recommend wubi except for testing purposes ... why not shrink one of the partitons (e.g. a logical partition) and create in the free space a new partition?

But i miss my linux :( [14:47] can anyone recommend a wireless mouse/keyboard that works on Ubuntu. Can't find one specifically to work.. [14:47] !poll [14:47] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:47] Elongated [14:47] AdvoWork: If its bluetooth, it will likely justwork [14:48] MySpace music player doesn't load in Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10 but does on naty [14:48] i believe wubi only creates a file in c: drive and a boot entry.. So it should be safe, right? [14:49] frustrated question here: I have a backup script that does a mysqldump piped to gzip on a web server. It's a beefy 8-core processor and I have gzip niced to 19, but when gzip is running, apache stops responding and top says gzip is using 100% cpu. Anyone have any thoughts? [14:49] snu: correct [14:49] snu, least invasive would be a virtual machine... if you can live with the lower performance [14:50] snu: it will also be affected by fragmentation as the data is stored in NTFS [14:50] ActionParsnip, thank u :) i think i should try it.. wish me luck [14:50] Hi all [14:50] ActionParsnip, how that? ... dynamic size of the container? [14:50] i only have it in my windows 7 . and i install it on D: [14:50] rumpe1, i need full performance.. can't live with a vm [14:50] snu: its good as a quick try before youbuybut as a long term solution I recommend a true install === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [14:51] snu, for full performance you NEED a free partition [14:51] hi all, what is the difference between the commands which and whereis? [14:51] snu: what version of windows are you running? [14:51] i know that guys :) have been using linux for 3 years! but now i need wubi to install it beside my win n mac :( [14:52] dannyd, read "man which", "man whereis" [14:52] ActionParsnip, win 7 [14:52] snu, if you know this, why do you insist on full performance ? o.O [14:52] snu: wubi does not install besides. It installs inside a windows partition [14:52] @snu, the installer will install alongside other OS [14:52] snu: win7 can resize its partitions to make space which you can then install ubuntu to [14:52] how i can use vlc with vdpau on ubu 10.04? [14:53] rumpel: if the command is not in PATH, will whereis still give a listing? [14:53] @all : but it will mess up my hackintosh install! [14:53] anyone here setup a bridge network for kvm/qemu ? [14:53] dannyd: whereis seems to give all the files, which shows the binary executed when you run the command [14:53] snu: not sure, we don't support illegal practises here [14:53] ActionParsnip, another idea would be an installation on an (external?) flash-stick/card [14:53] how i can use vlc with vdpau on ubu 10.04? [14:53] me too.. i used an ORIGINAL MAC DVD [14:53] rumpe1: true, wouldn't get fragmented but usb is pretty slow [14:54] snu: I'd check the mac license [14:54] how i can register in xchat ?

[15:16] van7hu: yes [15:17] jrib, actionparsnip: a domestic user would be the equivalent of the average joe in Windows - checks his mail, few google searches, facebook, instant messaging? [15:17] I am having an issue trying to use wget to download a txt file form a ftp server. The txt file is stored at middle.freeiz.com/gny.txt but if i wget that file i jsut get a 404 error, where might i be going wrong? [15:18] ayecee: how can I check my own version? [15:18] Superstar: yes, thats the aim of the OS [15:18] ctrl-alt-t is calling sh not bash - how do I set it [15:18] Superstar: I'd say ubuntu desktop is geared toward those users out of the box, sure [15:18] ayecee: http://img219.imageshack.us/i/glibc.png/, here's my way [15:18] making a startupdisk, copyring files buts its only 94 percent complete? [15:18] any1? [15:19] actionparsnip, jrib. thanks, i class myself as a domestic user [15:20] kinect27: did you MD5 test the iSO you downloaded [15:20] it says checksums do not match, retry? if i retry its thesame, 94 percent/ [15:20] ok hold on lemme do that test [15:20] middle: This ftp asks for user and password, are you supplaing those? [15:20] kinect27: why didin't you test it first...? [15:20] van7hu: checking [15:21] beta2 is to come today right?

[15:21] van7hu: I stand corrected. despite being sure, it appears that i was wrong. [15:21] spacebug-: Yes, feel free to await it in #ubuntu+1 [15:21] van7hu: it looks like ubuntu, at least 10.04, uses eglibc. === Guest41804 is now known as marcelC [15:22] Pici: ok tnx [15:22] well, error 404 is page not found. Are you sure the file is there, can you see it using a browser? Using another machine? [15:23] van7hu: I'm going by what's shown by "apt-cache show libc6" [15:23] middle: You can also use teh ftp command, instead of wget. And well, error 404 is page not found. Are you sure the file is there, can you see it using a browser? Using another machine? [15:23] mcb_1: I can't see it inthe browser, but i thought you could just wget a txt file from the itnernet [15:23] asdf47: try: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype [15:23] middle: you can, but the file must be there in the first palce.

I find that I have to manually do this to locate files less than 1 hour old [15:24] ok ActionParsnip [15:24] Superstar: depends on the amount of files [15:24] mcb_1: I will double check but i am very sure it is there [15:24] Superstar: once again i thought [15:24] can anyone help me with getting ubuntu 10.04 to show me the grub2 menu ?

[15:30] middle: I didn't follow you. In the browser it shows nothing, as an empty file? Is it? I tried to access the file using FTP, but it asks me for a password, even login using anonymous..... If you have a user/password: use (From mam wget) --password=password [15:30] Specify the username user and password password for both FTP and [15:30] HTTP file retrieval. These parameters can be overridden using the [15:30] --ftp-user and --ftp-password options for FTP connections and the [15:30] --http-user and --http-password options for HTTP connections.

[15:34] sorry, I'll back soon (change host) [15:34] Guest48929, do you have all the codecs you need? [15:35] Rafeiro, are you installing or partitioning during aninstall? [15:35] codecs. i believe. i downloaded all of them of ubuntu softwear center [15:35] anyone here installed ubuntu to flash drive making it a portable os? i did but i can't seem to edit the boot parameters [15:35] Where are the certificates that come with Ubuntu installed to?

[15:36] which im using it right now [15:37] Superstar: dpkg -L ca-certificates [15:37] i edited /etc/default/grub to add "i915.modeset=1" but it still wont boot.. any ideas? [15:37] ankush: have a look at monodevelop for VB.NET [15:37] jrib: thanks love [15:37] Guest48929, are you playing a dvd? [15:37] Superstar: Or search for that package on http://packages.ubuntu.com [15:37] itilious: modesetting is enabled by default [15:38] soreau, i have a laptop that requires "i915.modeset=1" to boot, but when i try to boot with flash drive it doesnt set the mode correctly [15:38] !!ff4 [15:38] 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 [15:38] that firefox is a nighly 6.0a1, not compatible with firebug :( damn [15:39] it only boots if i have that set on this particular laptop,, i can't figure out why it wont work for flash drive installation of ubuntu, how come? [15:39] I am using irc through irssi, its nice :) [15:39] I love ubuntu === Wid_21 is now known as pewezzzz [15:40] * brdoco has a (probably really basic) question [15:40] soreau, what did you mean by its set by default? === Guest64795 is now known as anksi [15:40] !ask | brdoco [15:40] brdoco: 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. :-) [15:40] itilious: I mean the default is already i915.modeset=1 [15:41] whats next if u did the dm5 test and the startup disk creator still doesnt work, its only at 94 percent completion? [15:41] Rafeiro, I suggest you burn a livecd called gparted and use it as a partitioning tool . It's very handy. You can use gparted to delete sda8 which then becomes unallocated . , then you can choose sda7 and resize into the unallocated space that used to be sda8 [15:41] soreau, then why is that not in /etc/default/grub after "quiet splash" ? [15:41] itilious: Because it is the default :) [15:41] i've never seen it defaulted to this, i have always had to manually add it to make it boot [15:41] I'm trying to install the sun jdk 6. I want to install it into a certain directory. can I do that with the ubuntu software center? [15:41] soreau, i'm the n00b here but youre wrong, its not there by default [15:42] im using gparted [15:42] i deleted it [15:42] itilious: That is strange if you have to manually enable it on recent versions of ubuntu [15:42] soreau, i've ALWAYS had to manually add it to get this to boot [15:42] How do I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [15:42] now i want to know how can i resize it since im using sda7 already [15:42] i want to know how can i resize it into the sda8 [15:42] soreau, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 [15:42] itilious: I have no idea why you would have to enable modesetting manually to make it work then [15:43] Rafeiro, you can't resize a partition that you are using ..it has to be done from a separate device [15:43] soreau, its an older laptop [15:43] what do u mean by checksums dont match [15:43] itilious: Are you sure its an i9xx intel chip? [15:43] soreau, yes [15:43] i have 945GM intel [15:43] ok, so, i can use the ubuntu livecd to do it? [15:44] what you wont do ? [15:44] !who |Rafeiro [15:44] Rafeiro: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:44] itilious: strange. Maybe something disables KMS on some chips [15:44] ok [15:44] still doesnt answer the question why i can't edit the boot parameters at GRUB with a flash drive [15:45] whats teh command to change the amount of "reserved" space in a file system and whats the default percentage? [15:45] does anyone know about installing FireFox 4? what i mean is, in windows when you install it, it gives you a new FF4 folder which i know it doesnt do in Ubuntu, but does it keep all the bookmarks and extensions or give you a clean FF4 which is totally blank of stuff? [15:45] Rafeiro, yes you can but the gparted livecd is easier and more flexible , but that's your call [15:45] alright [15:45] :) [15:45] anyone know off hand? [15:45] tks BluesKaj [15:45] Rafeiro: yes it should be in administration, check if the partition is mounted before you try.. [15:45] itilious: Did you check the md5sum for the image you put on the flash drive? [15:45] Rafeiro, np [15:45] soreau, yes and yes it matched [15:45] alright dannyd :) [15:46] i also did filesystem check on the flash drive i installed ubuntu to [15:46] its possible to run google earth on intel 945GM in ubuntu 10.10?? [15:47] i tired on GF 440MX 128MB but dont run too [15:48] its show google earth first screen then turn off [15:48] DirtyDawg: try #firefox [15:48] k thx [15:48] ubuntu_: Its probably crashing in the driver [15:48] is it a good idea, to extract the iso in the downloads folder, copy the entire folder ot the usb? any1? [15:48] ubuntu_: You can try updating the intel driver stack by installing xorg-edgers repo, to see if it helps [15:49] ubuntu, install lsb-core then reinstall google earth [15:49] soreau its possible to run it ?

Thanks for your time. [16:43] I added the ppa already but still only list v1.2 in the software tool [16:43] hai [16:45] I just did it command line and seems to work (sudo apt-get wine1.3), but why does the software tool not see the package then? [16:45] alanonymous: remove the wine you have and install wine1.3 [16:45] alanonymous: its a separate package [16:46] so if I just installed wine1.3 over 1.2 without uninstalling, I probably did something bad? [16:46] siavashserver: it would probably help your cause to provide a command which would help users identify (by means of querying the current kernel) which CPU features their system supports. [16:46] alanonymous: i'd remove 1.2 first to avoid conflicts [16:46] My logitech C510 webcam doesn't work with skype and cheese, but it works fine on guvcview, what have i to do? any help? === matts is now known as matts_away [16:47] tomreyn, thanks for feedback.

[18:34] pl! I was right! :D [18:34] :-( [18:37] evenin all [18:37] how do i get rid of ubuntu which i have installed alongside windows and get my partition spack back? [18:37] *space [18:37] Deadglow just use the windows partitioner? [18:38] how do i get into that? [18:38] Right click computer -> manage (what version are you running?) [18:39] Deadglow: use disk manager, you will need to reinstall the bootloader to get windows booting again [18:40] Hello. I have Ubuntu already installed, and now I need to install Windows. Is there a good guide on how to do this (dual-booting), so I don't mess anything up? === emil is now known as Guest96457 [18:40] Deadglow: I suggest you ask in ##windows how to reinstall the bootloader. You may need your install cd for windows [18:40] ActionParsnip: you said acerhk is in the kernel now ... where did you see that? (sorry to reply so late) [18:41] ok thanks [18:41] Hey guys! Does anyone know a pdf reader for ubuntu (or linux in general) that supports editing of comments? Adobe reader does not. And it turns out that searching for "pdf reader for linux with comments" just gives a bunch of site commenting on pdf readers :( [18:41] !dualboot > MasterBob [18:41] MasterBob, please see my private message === yang is now known as Guest55165 [18:41] rp21: seems it's a package to give the module: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/acerhk [18:42] !info acerhk [18:42] Package acerhk does not exist in maverick [18:42] rp21: so that is the source to build the acerhk in the kernel as far as I can tell === alex__c2022_ is now known as alex__c2022 [18:42] hummesse: did you check foxit pdf reader? [18:42] well, that's a source package [18:42] yup .. [18:42] it won't compile without patches [18:43] rp21: are there bugs logged? [18:43] hummesse: the windows version does what you need..not sure about the linux variant.. [18:44] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [18:45] ActionParsnip: its author has abandoned it, click on the 'homepage' link [18:46] AcerHK GUI (http://sourceforge.net/projects/acerhkgui/) fixes it, but in a really weird way [18:46] when it doesn't find acerhk installed, it offers to download, compile and install it for you [18:46] rp21: not sure, I ditched Acer a LONG time ago [18:48] so after the update manager issues a kernel upgrade, i have to take this laptop to a wired connection to update acerhk [18:48] that's a little clumsy [18:49] do we have special effects on unity? [18:49] rp21: its the support from acer [18:49] tt: sure [18:49] like wat? desktop rotation? [18:50] i have a Medion laptop, i have no idea what is Acer about it, except that i found out acerhk works to enable its wifi [18:50] tt: in 11.04 unity uses compiz. so it can have any compiz effects.. not sure about under the current release. [18:51] tt: if you are using natty then yes [18:51] tt: in which case you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:51] Could anyone recommend a curve fitting application for Ubuntu? [18:51] i use netbook edition :D [18:51] tt: yes, but which release? [18:51] 10 [18:52] tt: 10.04 or 10.10 [18:52] tt: there is no 10 [18:52] 10.10 is perfect 10 [18:52] tt: please give FULL details in future. [18:52] hello there [18:53] tt: you will be using mutter as the wM which doesn't give effects [18:53] i am new in ubuntu 10.10 [18:53] xatalinux: Hi! [18:53] and i have a problem with the webcam [18:53] xatalinux: do you see yourself if you install and run cheese? [18:53] Is changing from a kernel from a 32bit 10.04lts to a 64bit kernel, without doing a new install, likely to take more than a couple hours for someone with decent experience with Linux? Is there much more than changing the kernel, some basic libraries and a couple other items or is there a massive list (>20 libraries) required to change to 64bit? [18:54] i have a compaq presario cq 62 [18:54] i dont get wat u mean ActionParsnip [18:54] wit webcam build in [18:54] bbeattie: You dont just switch to a 64bit system from a 32bit one. [18:54] and i try with cheese and is no picture [18:54] tt: compiz is a window manager (wm), if you use maverick then the wm will be mutter, not compiz. Compiz is the WM in natty [18:54] bbeattie: you reinstall to switch to 64bit basically [18:54] bbeattie: not only the kernel and libraries, but also every binary. [18:55] xatalinux: ok then run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [18:55] bbeattie: so, yes, massive list. [18:55] bbeattie: using just a 64 bit kernel is possible..but a bit tricky.. [18:55] dr_willies: years ago I had systems running with either bootable, but this was in the early 64bit development days of the itianium work. [18:55] bbeattie: Good luck with that these days. [18:55] Is it possible to run Ubuntu off a 4GB USB? [18:55] bbeattie: i'd just reinstall, your OS will be more solid [18:55] Superstar: yes. but 8gb+ is better [18:55] Superstar: sure [18:56] Superstar: you an do a 'normal' install to a 4 gb flash drive. but it will fill up real fast. [18:56] I'm just looking for enough 64bit support to support >16tb volumes, just enough to support xfs in 64 bit [18:56] Superstar: a live-cd-with peristant save can also work. [18:56] I got this output from fdisk -l on a live CD: http://pastebin.com/3eVHn21e which is obviously wrong. ikonia said that I had to redo all partitions in order to get my Ubuntu installing. Any other solution you know of? [18:56] is there any way to make unity panel 'always on top'? i'd prefer if windows would maximize next to it, not take it over and make the panel hidden, especially as show animation is so damned slow [18:56] Superstar: you can put the ISO on the USB with tools and use 3Gb for user data, updates won't stick but it will run (easy) OR you can make a persistent install and updates will stick (harder) [18:57] how can i set/deset proxy in terminal? [18:57] tt: export http_proxy="" [18:57] tt: export ftp_proxy="" [18:58] those are not supposed to be uppercase? I never use proxys :) [18:58] and of course teh app has to support thta setting i imagine. [18:59] nar, lowercase is good [19:01] how do i find the file size in ubuntu server? [19:01] is there a support channel for ubuntu on ec2? [19:02] to answer myself, compizconfig can do this [19:02] hvgotcodes: #ubuntu-cloud or #ubuntu-server [19:02] Camer0n: du -hs filename [19:02] Camer0n: du -h filename [19:02] Pici: thanx === dimmortal1 is now known as dimmortal [19:02] thanks [19:03] this should be default setting, panel hide on maximize is soooo annoying [19:03] His does anyone installed ubuntu out of a running Moblin? Or do I really need to install from USB? [19:04] if you choose a partition in ubuntu server, is everything deleted on it? [19:05] join / #rasha666 [19:05] ?

[19:09] faouzi: i dont think the unetbootin, or usb disk creator tool works with the server edition. [19:09] it did [19:09] faouzi: you could od a full normal install to a usb flash drive [19:10] ive seen many others in here with issues using the server iso on flash drives [19:10] Dr_Willis:http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3 (Aptana 3) [19:10] my flash drive didn't appear on the disks list in server [19:10] fuck you nerd [19:11] Ok I am now able to be more precise: I want to install ubuntu out of a running fedora.. is that possible? [19:11] brubelsabs: via 'debootstrap' yes. I hear its possible.. or some virtual machine.. will it be problametic . also very possible. [19:12] Guys I have an ftp server setup and my home directory is: /home/ftp/swattoftp - I also have access to /var/www but cant seem to access it as I think my ftp user account is locked down to swattoftp? Im using PureFTPD - does anyone know how to fix it? [19:12] lol, i lost my flash drive [19:12] its under the couch. [19:13] no [19:13] somewher ein my bed :P [19:13] Swatto: Look for an option to chroot FTP users. [19:13] Disable it === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:14] Its also proberly a good idea to look into not using FTP but starting to use SSH and SCP/SFTP instead === AndrewMC is now known as Guest80546 === Guest80546 is now known as AndrewMC [19:15] What should I do in order to block all connection attempts to a set group of ports from a specific IP? [19:16] I got this output from fdisk -l on a live CD: http://pastebin.com/3eVHn21e which is obviously wrong. ikonia said that I had to redo all partitions in order to get my Ubuntu installing. Any other solution you know of? [19:16] KNUBBIG: whats obviously wrong about it? [19:16] how can i resume sth with scp? [19:17] KNUBBIG: Type 'redo all partitions in order to get my Ubuntu installing. Any other solution you know of?' in the terminal. :D [19:17] Polah: what does that do? I know chmod but not sure what that does? [19:17] KNUBBIG: nyuszika7h is kinda right, just redo it all, it wouldn't take long to modify them to be correctr [19:17] Dr_Willis the difference between the partitions on the RAID and the ones actually mounted, Ubuntu detects some partitions on sda which is part of a RAID setup and did not use the partitions on md0 which also are detected incorrectly [19:17] how can i resume sth with scp? [19:18] cellardoor I have Windows 7 + data on it [19:18] Is it just me or Lucid seems stabler than Maverick for anyone else? [19:18] KNUBBIG: then don't touch the windows 7 partitions, and only operate with the space used by the current Ubuntu installation [19:18] nyuszika7h: cant say that i noticed a differance. [19:18] cellardoor I can't install ubuntu [19:19] cellardoor as I have some empty space left but Ubuntu doesn't detect it [19:19] Anyway, Lucid is LTS, so since I was going to reinstall Ubuntu, I'll install Lucid. [19:19] KNUBBIG: how big is this empty space [19:19] cellardoor the output from fdisk was from a live cd [19:19] cellardoor about 300 GB === crash is now known as Guest19429 [19:19] I backed up my home folder to my USB flash drive, and now I can't access the "hidden" folders (those whose name starts with a dot) from Windows. Is this normal? [19:20] KNUBBIG: perhaps check cfdisk output and what parted/gparted says about it. 'fdisk' is getting a little out dated with a lot of these new setups and complex drive layouts. [19:20] KNUBBIG: Wait, do you mean you have a free partition of 300GB, or that is the space that Windows 7 says you have left? [19:20] cellardoor that is a free partition, unused space [19:20] cellardoor (not formatted in any way) [19:20] KNUBBIG: then I afraid I have no idea :/ [19:20] KNUBBIG: the partition may be corrupt in some way so fdisk has trouble reading it, but unlikely === richard is now known as Guest55289 [19:21] Dr_Willis okay, thanks, I'll try that. I'm worried that neither 10.10 nor 11.04 is able to detect the correct layout especially as everything is working fine in Windows [19:21] Does anybody in here have Photoshop installed on there computer? [19:21] trik: you refer to using Photoshop in linux? [19:21] KNUBBIG: ive given up on using complex raid and other fancy layouts. :) I just do one HD per OS these days. [19:22] Yes. I guess.

I am asking if anybody else in here does that. I have it but the interface looks really bad and its slow. [19:23] icehawk78: look into "man ufw" [19:23] trik: since aspects of Windows are being emulated the speed issue is probably unavoidable, what are the specs of your machine? [19:23] nyuszika7h: for stability LTS is the only way to go. [19:24] Well, whats the command to output the specs? [19:24] trik: also it may be that wine is trying to emulate an older version of windows. Run winecfg in a terminal, what does the 'Windows Version' selection show as? [19:24] bastidrazor: yeah. And I don't want to trick with Plymouth, so I won't install the propertiary graphics driver, I mainly use Ubuntu for programming and chatting. [19:25] I've got Windows, too (which I'm running now) -- I'll use that for gaming.

[19:27] cellardoor, [19:27] guys I cant copy and paste..why [19:27] Dr_Willis, how can i confirm that, in their .bashrc? [19:27] trik: hmm, try whacking it down to WinXP, windows 7 in wine is still a bit new [19:27] jordotech: check their shell when they log in. not sure how else to do it. [19:28] jordotech: chsh command perhaps. [19:28] trik: and about the speed, what are your machine specs? [19:28] jordotech: as the effected user do: echo $SHELL [19:28] no browser is opening.what can I do ? [19:28] affected rather. [19:28] ah thank you [19:28] is there a command I can use to output the specs? [19:29] trik: cat /proc/meminfo and cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:29] trik: paste this to http://paste.ubuntu.com...... cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:29] ;D === Pyker is now known as Guest76411 [19:29] trik: or for the cpu information you could install cpufrequtils and then use the command cpufreq-info [19:30] anyone know hot to make impress embed video or audio files added to a presentation into the actual odp file? right now it is pointing to the video file on my hard drive so if I were to send the presentation to someone else the video and audio files would not play.

[19:35] Desktop. === vick is now known as peeepz_ [19:35] trik: how 'deep' is the work you do in photoshop. because GIMP can do most things [19:36] Screen Splash screen looks terrible. Some parts of the ui is white/grey, and not much. [19:36] And gimp is really confussing. I just can't get myself to use it. [19:36] Like previewing edits, etc [19:36] trik: hmm, it does take time to adjust to that is true, but if Wine emulates Photoshop poorly there isn't much that can be done really. [19:37] What about beta version of wine? [19:37] trik, learning new software takes time. I switched from photoshop to gimp and I'd never go back. you are better off putting the time in to learn it and then be free from the price tag, or piracy, and the hassle of either windows or wine forever. [19:37] also, um... I am also using a portable versio of PS too. could that be a problem? [19:37] trik: no real difference, its all the same emulation techniques at the end of the day, and Beta won't be that advanced over the current one [19:37] I am working with an arm 10.10 image and I finally have X working, is there a way to reset it to do the installer on boot, its now booting directly to X with no users or setup, how can I force instller to run on boot? === redt0de_ is now known as redt0de [19:37] trik: I agree with zylogz80 big time [19:38] can someone please guide me in the right direction on how to install pdo drivers on ubuntu [19:38] Alright I just wanted to make sure before asking.

[23:17] linuxthefish: ps -ef | grep something then run: sudo kill -9 PID [23:18] if he had only waited [23:18] Is there a chatroom for X windows in general on this network I can be pointed to? [23:18] jmwpc: the smartest nes have the most patience [23:18] Paddy_NI: ah so the phone gets the web via your system [23:18] sorry guys, one more thing, I want to install moodle, so I do sudo apt-get install moodle [23:18] Paddy_NI, I'm not sure about using the wireless card, but if you have bluetooth connection then its doable [23:18] ActionParsnip: Yep :) [23:19] Hoptimist: My phone has wifi my laptop has wifi === secoif_ is now known as secoif [23:19] basically the phone should connect to a wifi network.. correct [23:19] but i says it can't find the package, again, some app to use? or do I have to populate apt.list (or something like that) and run apt-get update? [23:19] also my mate is bringing his mac over to do some work [23:20] can anyone help me with split command .. split -l 10 file.txt newfile : puts splits into named file but with no extension.. I would like the file extensions to be .txt ??? [23:20] william__: just rename it to have .txt at the end. linux doesnt treat file extensions any differently [23:20] ActionParsnip: I'm a noob still, but I have learned so much just leaving this channel open during the work day. It's a great resource... if you can be a little patient that is :) [23:20] Paddy_NI: so your phone and your friends mac want to use the laptop as a wireless ateway to the web [23:20] ActionParsnip: Yeah [23:21] Paddy_NI: then thats EXACTLY what the iCS page details [23:21] lol [23:21] hi if I plug the same firewire drive into two ubuntu machines at the same time will both computer be able to access the drive?? [23:21] kdub i did that but then the extension was file.atxt file.btxt etc [23:21] ActionParsnip: I am an idiot [23:21] Paddy_NI: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [23:22] hey people! hope I can share with you a software I'm doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9IOxd3H4AM [23:22] it's no joke [23:22] ActionParsnip: Will it matter that I am using a usb dongle to access the internet? [23:22] software on youtube ... [23:22] william__: the file extension does not matter. the system knows its a text file regardless of what its named. just do 'mv file.atxt filea.txt [23:22] !ics > Paddy_NI [23:22] Paddy_NI, please see my private message [23:22] Paddy_NI: it doesn't matter as long as there is an interface name you can do it [23:22] I began in windows and now made a ubuntu version, I'm looking for help with development [23:22] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [23:23] Can I upgrade to beta 2 form update manager? [23:23] ActionParsnip: yeah ppp0 [23:23] yes Khisanth, software in youtube [23:23] the official page: www.simnation.info [23:23] Paddy_NI: then its fine you are good to go :) [23:23] ActionParsnip: :) [23:24] kbud i need to do this with thousands of files what do you recomend so that the files are 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt and so on and not manual file naming ? [23:24] Catarthes: doesn't google eart do that stuff? [23:25] google earth show pictures, I show classes of vegetation [23:25] is more didatic [23:25] as for deforestation [23:25] I am trying to set up an external hd media player to format the drive and allow my sis in law to store her videos on it, we deal in all the junk of the world here in the south pacific and have all the TV formats etc along with windoze and the other weird stuff [23:25] Why does the ubuntu battery icon ever show me how much battery my laptop has left, it just says estimating [23:25] Anyway to finx this? [23:25] Ubuntuguy: when it's plugged in or all the time? [23:25] All the time [23:26] Hm, I do not know, sorry. Mine does that when it is plugged in but when it is discharging it works properly [23:26] k [23:27] william__: the rename command can do mass renames :) [23:27] Catarthes: ahh i see [23:27] ubuntuguy: which release are you using? [23:28] william__: make new folder. run split within that folder. you'll get thousands of files. then you can do ' for i in `ls`; do mv ${i} ${i}.txt; done [23:28] 10.10 [23:28] ubuntuguy: and what model and make system? [23:28] Catarthes, the ibus one isn't in any of the menus [23:28] hp mini 110, 10.10 [23:28] but it's also happening in 11.04 [23:29] I cannot get it to change the partition or do a format, I have unmounted the drive, but it tells me that it is busy and is awaiting a job.... [23:29] brightspark, you'll have to install it from Ubuntu Software Center [23:30] ok .. thanks guys .. thanks a HEAP .. I got something to work with now.. where I was lost before.. thank you again for helping me as I did not know where to look [23:30] ActionParsnip what I'm trying to achieve is a economical-ecological simulator [23:30] ubuntuguy: are you currently running natty? [23:31] Yes I am [23:31] oh I see it is called keyboard input methods [23:31] I think I'll have more control over it in c++ than if I build it above Google Earth [23:31] ubuntuguy: then your support is in #ubuntu+1 [23:31] I'm also using 10.10 mind you [23:31] Catarthes, unix is built on C [23:31] I want help for 10.10 [23:31] wavedigit, it would take longer for me to do my app in c, who knows someday? [23:32] ubuntuguy: I suggest you ask in the other chanel but aso try the boot option: acpi=vendor may help [23:32] Thunar and nautilus doesn't load thumbnails on videos. What should I do? [23:32] k [23:32] but it's working faster than in windows, even with c++ [23:32] Oh, I should have mentioned that I am running 10.10 and it was just upgraded 2 days ago [23:32] Catarthes, depends on the app, but if you are going to be OS (unix) specific... go with C [23:32] no, I want to distribute in linux, windows and mac [23:32] I do NOT have a machine that runs windows available so I cannot use the manual that came with this Media player [23:33] Catarthes: what was your question? [23:33] Catarthes: make a project on launchpad and announce it on the forums and people may join [23:33] Catarthes, if portability is an issue, I would suggest Java [23:33] wavedigit: i'm a c fan too, but c and c++ are both pretty fast, and well supported in linux. i can code faster in C than c++, but maybe Catarthes is faster with c++ [23:33] actually I'm looking for help from concerned developers [23:33] launchpad? thanks ActionP [23:33] it alll depends [23:33] on where you want to go [23:33] and how [23:34] wavedigit, java is too heavy for 3d environments, I think (and the ammounts of data I'll load) [23:34] minecraft pulled it off though... [23:34] and runescape [23:35] they're equivalents of sourceforge? [23:35] hi all, it's this server up?? irc.gimp.org [23:35] Thunar and nautilus doesn't load thumbnails on videos. What should I do? [23:35] d0lph1n: it seems to be. [23:35] d0lph1n: it pings dead slow, but does reply [23:35] is it an advantage to have the same project in two hosts? [23:36] telnet irc.gimp.org 6666 [23:36] exit [23:37] faryshta: try closing all nautiluses and run: mv ~/.thumbnails ~/.thumbnails_old [23:38] cfedde, ActionParsnip can you join to irc? [23:38] faryshta: then rerun nautilus [23:38] I cant [23:38] d0lph1n: didn't try [23:38] ActionParsnip, SIR, YES SIR! [23:38] how can I close the 7175 port I don't have a postgresql... [23:38] alosa: what's using it? [23:39] cfedde: irc uses port 6667 usually... [23:39] nessus [23:39] alosa: try sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd stop [23:40] d0lph1n: Connecting to irc.us.gimp.org (130.239.18.157) port 6667 [23:40] connected [23:40] MaRk-I, thanks [23:40] d0lph1n: yw [23:40] d0lph1n: yes, i'm on [23:41] Could someone point me to the Ubuntu newbie channels here in freenode? [23:41] gnosi: sudo: /etc/init.d/nessusd: command not found [23:41] maheanuu: you've found it!@ [23:41] I dont have nessus now [23:41] maheanuu: here is a good place, ask your questions and we'll try to help [23:41] ActionParsnip, didn't worked :( [23:42] already did and no answer for the past 3 times I have been here [23:42] faryshta: do the images have thumbs though? [23:42] Anyone know of a remote control app for ubuntu [23:42] swatto: in what sense? [23:42] ActionParsnip: for android [23:42] the images does, the videos doesn't. [23:42] ActionParsnip: so i can control my desktop from my phone [23:42] swatto: ok and what do you want to control? [23:42] alosa: then how is nessus using that port? [23:43] ActionParsnip, the images does, the videos doesn't. [23:43] maheanuu: #ubuntu-beginners. There are fewer people there than here though, so good luck with that. [23:43] faryshta: ok then delete the backup folder we made, it'll save you space [23:43] I was working on a sound prob, and finally just went on my own for 2 days and repaired it, now am working on an external drive/media player for my sis in law who doesn't have a puter and the family only uses windoze.. I am not at the end of the world I am over it [23:43] ActionParsnip, done. [23:43] swatto: there are apps which can control individual apps (transdroid can talk to transmission very nicely) [23:44] faryshta: let me hunt around [23:44] swatto's question is still vague [23:44] swatto: there are also vnc clients for android too [23:44] maheanuu: what was your questions? === Craig_Dem_ is now known as Craig_Dem [23:44] gah [23:44] gnosis: I dont know [23:44] ActionParsnip: I am at a loss I did this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing#Wireless Ad-Hoc connection sharing scenario and it does not show up to connect to on my phones wifi [23:44] ActionParsnip: I still don't think anything is broadcasting [23:44] faryshta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432529 [23:45] At present I am trying to partition an old hd of mine to allow my sis in law to copy movies from the family and as I am not a doze pers, I have no access to anything other than Linux and am having probs [23:45] alosa: how did you get that it was being used be nessus? [23:45] faryshta: seems you also need to run: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg [23:45] ActionParsnip: Is VNC what Remote Desktop works off? [23:45] maheanuu: what kind of probs? [23:46] swatto: yes, its really awkward on the screen, what apps do you want to run when you connect? [23:46] Hello what would be the steps to identify what is causing my computer to freeze? [23:46] My laptop keyboard seems to lag when I press modifier keys like shift and ctrl. Is this usually a keyboard problem or a software problem? [23:46] just control the desktop really [23:46] swatto: vlc can be controled amazingly if you enable the http interface in settings [23:46] it seems that it happens randomly [23:46] gnosis, I have unmounted the external usb drive and now want to set it up as either a FAT drive or NTFS drive so that she can use it to store videos on from the family, I live on the outer islands in Tahiti and things are a liittle difficult here to say the least [23:46] I had a nessus installed from deb package but I removed by manager [23:47] swatto: if you are specific you will get better help, vnc is godawful on phones, its awkward and slow [23:47] ActionParsnip, let me install it. [23:47] I keep getting an error msg that sez the drive is busy and awaiting a job???? [23:47] faryshta: also check the nautilus setting mentioned [23:47] ActionParsnip, "libxine1-ffmeg is already installed". [23:47] hi there [23:47] I cannot partition it or format it from this machine of mine, I am running 10.10 [23:47] maheanuu: what are you using to format it? [23:48] how can i solve the problem of flash? [23:48] maheanuu: if its mounted then you cannot manipulate it [23:48] Localhost666: what is the issues? [23:48] Hi. Whenever I run ubuntu, either my CPU or GPU runs very hot, and it worries me. [23:48] I ave been trying to use disk manager, and it is unmounted [23:48] alosa: sudo netstat -atp | grep 7175 [23:48] it's just impossible to play youtube videos etc [23:48] ok next problem: my graphic card only works in vesa mode. it's a firemv 2270. the binary driver tells me xorg not detected (ubuntu 10.10). and if i do sudo apt-get install ati (or radeon) it tells me package not found [23:48] maheanuu: try gparted [23:48] do i have to activate some special repository? [23:49] ActionParsnip... [23:49] Localhost666: ok can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [23:49] maheanuu: gparted is the easiest way to manage partitions [23:49] ActionParsnip: would be good to control VLC media player though, might try that [23:49] Localhost666: give me chance child [23:49] ok.. [23:49] alosa: that should show you what process is using port 7175 [23:50] MaRk-I, ActionParsnip is 130.239.18.157 (irc.us.gimp.org) only for US?? [23:50] so if i enable it in VLC settings - for http interface i can just go to a web-browser and access it? [23:50] gnosis, I am going to have to learn gparted... I saw it but have never used it... I am not afraid to learn, as I am in my 70's and a ret. USN Chief and a Univac Field engineer, I do know enough to be damn dangerous [23:50] ActionParsnip, tried everything on the forum except for installing totem. I will check if that works. [23:50] mi Xchat client try to connect to 67.215.65.132 [23:50] swatto: enable the http interface in prefs then install vlc remote beta by peter baldwin, works a treat here [23:50] d0lph1n: no idea, in xchat i just typed /server irc.gimp.org [23:50] ActionParsnip: wait a sec [23:50] I will find a how to file on gparted [23:50] d0lph1n: same ip [23:51] i'm uploading the output :P [23:51] hi [23:51] gnosis [23:51] tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:7175 *:* LISTEN 3703/postgres [23:51] tcp6 0 0 NIKITA:7175 [::]:* LISTEN 3703/postgres [23:51] maheanuu: gparted makes it all pretty easy. and thank you for your service btw [23:51] ActionParsnip, nop, nothing worked. [23:51] why does natty install glibc and othere very important syslibs into /lib/i386-linux-gnu? is there some reason for this? [23:52] I know I'm missing something but how do I change the splash screen piccy? [23:52] alosa: postgres is using that port then [23:52] ooxi: normally, a special repository has a website that explains in detail how to use it [23:52] omg, MaRk-I this command connect :) [23:52] thanks [23:52] Hey I want to track Packets from a blogtv show, how do I use tcpdump for this? [23:52] Localhost666: you can run: sudo apt-get Instal pastebinit: lsb_release -a > ~/t.txt; uname -a >> ~/t.txt; dpkg -l | grep flash >> ~/t.txt; dpkg -l | grep gnash >> ~/t.txt; dpkg -l | grep swf >> ~/t.txt; pastebinit ~/t.txt; rm ~/txt [23:52] Ah, nvm, seems like hardware lag... [23:53] d0lph1n: ;^) [23:53] Installing gparted now [23:53] -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -i ! -s 192.168.0.96 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.96:25 -- this is supposed to forward conenctions to our mail server but connections appear to originate from the machine doing the forwarding (inside the lan) not the external address... can anyone tell my how I have it wrong? [23:53] Localhost666: actually that is rubbish, don't bother [23:53] bastidrazor, but the ubuntu wiki tells me to just do ,,apt-get install ati'' [23:53] but that package does not exist [23:53] (and according to packages.ubuntu.com has never existed) [23:54] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/pAjrAyea [23:54] ActionParsnip, I had to "reboot" nautilus using "killall -9 nautilus" and thumbnails works now. [23:54] ooxi: that would mean your 'special repository' was not added correctly.. since your initial statement was about adding a repositry [23:54] how do i make it so I can compress iso disc images via right click menu ? [23:55] Thanks for the appreciation gnosis, I retired out in '74 and was a field engineer rite back to the Nav and then ran off to Tahiti and became a citizen in Paradise, didn't get back inot the puters till the mid 90's and now I am addicted again [23:55] Localhost666: ok then run: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer  ; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree [23:55] faryshta: sweeeet [23:55] Localhost666: should be ok [23:55] bastidrazor, my question was whether i have to add a special repository in order to get access to the ati/radion packages [23:55] I had a power failure and X/kdm isn't coming up. I tried reinstalling the kernel, which rebuilt the nvidia module, but no help. How can I invoke kdm startup to give me a better clue what package might be corrupted? [23:55] ActionParsnip: running.. [23:55] do you want the output? [23:56] everything was successfully installed.. [23:56] Localhost666: nar, just close all browsers then rerun to load the plugin [23:56] I did the apt-get install and it installed gparted now I am trying to find where it stay [23:56] how do I run a packet sniffer on http://www.blogtv.com/people/Hypn0t04d ? [23:57] rerun the last thing you said? [23:57] or just execute the browsers? [23:57] ooxi: are you using synaptic or apt-get? [23:57] close all browsers after the last command I ran finished, then rerun one [23:57] ActionParsnip: ok, ill do it [23:58] maheanuu: systems>administration> [23:58] gnosis: what can I do more ? [23:58] ok.. i executed chromium again [23:58] bastidrazor, apt-get. but i solved the problem: the packages is named xserver-xorg-video-ati not ati [23:58] it should work fine now? [23:58] wiki is not accurate [23:58] gnosis I'm noob [23:58] :/ [23:58] Localhost666: should do [23:58] ok, let me just test it :P [23:58] hey can sombody tell me how to run tcdump on an online chat room? [23:59] ooxi: good deal. correct package names is a must. [23:59] hi there, hope someone can help me out with this, how can I obtain a SHA1 or MD5 checksum of a directory and/or of it's contents recursively ? [23:59] alosa: do you have postgres running for a reason? [23:59] !tcpdump
