[00:00] gnosis: no reason [00:00] bcessa: i don't believe you can pass a directory to sha1sum [00:00] ActionParsnip: it seems to work fine :) [00:00] thanks dude :P [00:00] Localhost666: np man [00:00] bcessa: you could make a tar and then then find its sha1 [00:01] um guys, can ANYBODY tell me how to run tcpdump on a blogtv chat room? [00:02] Braber01: that doesn't make much sense, what are you trying to accomplish? [00:02] I'm trying to track ip's of usernames in a chatroom on blogtv [00:02] where is the remote http in vlc please? [00:03] gnosis: ok, thnx [00:04] How do you enable HTTP interface in VLC? cant seem to find it, downloaded the android app [00:04] Braber01: tcpdump will do that, but it won't provide a decent way to dissect what you want. If you are familar with BPF's you could create one for your needs and use it with tcpdump. [00:05] I'm not familar with either of those. [00:05] alosa: ps aux | grep 3703 [00:05] Braber01: I'd not bother then, Wireshark may be a better more friendly tool for you. === Limada is now known as Rocio [00:06] maheanuu: mind if I pm? [00:07] Braber01: are you admin for whatever you're talking about? you can't run wireshark on just some random server [00:07] no I'm not [00:08] hey, how can i tell what partition i installed grub on? [00:08] Braber01: ya, those tools will require admin rights. [00:08] oh. [00:10] yeah it it says there are no interfaces to work with [00:10] anyone know how I can stream 010101 etc forever at /dev/ttyusb0? === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [00:11] gnosis: postgres 3703 0.0 0.1 40924 2088 ?

[00:14] general advice: what should be my next distro after using ubuntu for one year? arch? gentoo? LFS? [00:14] Ubuntu! [00:14] ubuntu [00:14] (Debian) [00:14] you guys suck :D [00:15] Thanx I just finished partitioning and formatting a 320 gig ext drive and now will try to see if I can install a couple of movies from my pute on it then send it to another neice and let her do a dump from her puter [00:15] alosa: are you running metasploit? [00:15] nas [00:15] rww, ohelig : so you mean "try to dig as deep as possible" is the correct answer? [00:15] phux: if you don't mind something that's not linux: freebsd [00:16] maheanuu: mind if I pm? [00:16] random rant, I don't like using XChat to get on freenode, but apparently KVIrc is vulnerable to remote attacks and I need to update, but there are no updates available :| [00:16] Not at all [00:16] Please do [00:16] phux: I'm currently using freebsd even on my desktop [00:17] gnosis: no, I'm shure [00:17] CobZo: i dont mind, i want to learn about unix. but freebsd... didnt consider that. is there a special reason for mentioning that? [00:17] ohelig: not even as a source patch? [00:17] CobZo: how flash in fbsd ? [00:17] I didn't check :s [00:18] phux: the best way to learn is to walk through a linux-from-scratch install, in my humble opinion [00:18] phux: lfs is a usefull way of learning how a linux os is fit together, but its not practical for an everyday os, just fire up some VMs and try a few distros [00:19] phux, kdub, LFS does nothing for newbs, far better to lean basic programming and stuff like bash (and programming bash) if you want to "learn linux" [00:19] alosa: there is no native flash for freebsd but linux flash works fine with the linux emulation layer [00:19] learn C and bash [00:19] so im running an HTTP server on a high port number so I dont have to screw with drop privs etc, but want it listening on port 80. i have iptables setup to use nat/PREROUTING to forward reqs on 80 to 9999, and accept rules for 80 and 9999. how can i not expose 9999 to the outside world and just allow connections iptables is forwarding? === Lenin_Cat is now known as SirLenin [00:19] abstrakt: yeah, but it really helps to understand the linkers, kernel, all the stuff things run on. forces you out of the newbie sandbox [00:20] CobZo: fuck adobe [00:20] matsur: use the REDIRECT target and let the http server listen on the local loopback interface [00:20] alosa: you definitely have metasploit installed. just kill the postgres process [00:20] kdub, learning C forces you out of the newbie sandbox, what's your point? [00:21] phux: if you want to learn unix then I really recommend you *BSD over linux. they are far more unix-like than any linux distro I've used [00:21] would it be a good idea to copy a home folder from 10.10 to a fresh installation of 10.10, or the 11.04 beta? [00:21] lol, who even still uses actual unix anymore? [00:22] mister2: there shouldnt be a problem with that [00:22] i mean, i'm sure there are some probably, but really? [00:22] mac users do abstrakt =) [00:22] abstrakt: the point is its important to learn C, but its also important to learn the command line, autotools, revision control systems, etc if you're going to do any meaningful contributions [00:22] abstrakt: there are a few around still [00:22] You would probably have a bunch of broken shortcuts, but there shouldn't be any major issues [00:22] kdub: acicula: yes, im looking for an os keeping the balance between usability and learning [00:22] c33dog, um, not they use a bastardized version of BSD [00:22] hard to call that unix [00:22] Man [00:22] k cool [00:22] s/not/no/ [00:22] thanks [00:22] i followed some tips to solve my problem with flash running slow.. [00:22] kdub, um, that's the point? um... yes, in fact now you are agreeing with my original point, thank you [00:22] but the problem continues [00:23] can someone give another tip? [00:23] phux: solarix x86 [00:23] learn bash and C [00:23] @acicula iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9999 how would i change this to redirect to loopback? [00:23] matsur: read the man page on what the redirect tag does [00:23] yeah, but phux wants to learn about how the whole system works together, and putting the system together is a good way to learn about all that [00:23] someone..? [00:24] hi all [00:24] abstrakt: just put it on my list :) [00:24] *sigh* === Sazpaimon_ is now known as Sazpaimon [00:24] gnosis are you still in the pm mode? [00:25] any1 use irssi? [00:25] phux, do as you like, putting random pieces together means relatively little... learning to program is quite useful - you're better off reading The FreeBSD Handbook than doing LFS [00:25] matsur: oh i see what you mean, ehm, sec [00:25] phux, or, as I already said, learning C [00:25] acicula perhaps DNAT instead? [00:26] hullo? === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [00:26] Hey, my cpu is hovering around 75%-99%, yet system monitor is saying the most cpu I'm using is 20-40%. Is anybody else having this problem? [00:26] matsur: eh yeah that should work i think === SirLenin is now known as ProLenin [00:27] scott__: what says 75-99? [00:27] matsur: may run into some routing issues when you connect from local network machines though [00:27] Ben64: The CPU monitor in Docky. [00:28] scott__: on a quad core system, what is reported in top is 100% per core... [00:28] ben64: [00:28] the extra %'s might be iowait or something [00:28] can u help me? [00:28] alright, thank you guys. i'll stick with ubuntu as main OS (and for learning C/Bash), and give LFS a shot on a little partition till it runs "perfectly" and i feel ready for the switch. think its the best solution :) [00:28] Localhost666: not if i don't know the problem [00:28] in what world is LFS a solution :/ === ProLenin is now known as Lenin_Cat [00:29] in mine, acicula :P [00:29] Ben64: the problem is that when i try to play youtube videos or wtv Flash is very very slow... [00:29] CobZo: how the fbsd 9.0 will be in 2011 ? [00:29] gnosis: big thx :) [00:29] idk if I have quad core...when I go into gnome-system-monitor, it says I have two processors? [00:29] the 10.10 livecd is trying to spin down my harddrive to save power... my harddrive is and SSD [00:29] phux: missed the discussion, what is your goal in learning C? [00:29] Localhost666: computer specs? gpu, cpu, ram? === ubuntu is now known as pfifo [00:30] abstrakt told me to learn, i think because the system is programmed in C? [00:30] gnosis: [00:30] acicula: no dice with iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:9999 [00:30] alosa: I don't know but I'm running 9-CURRENT on my desktop and it's pretty solid already [00:30] I just up upgraded xubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 and now my keyboard shortcuts won't work...most importantly the run program dialog! I've been googling but to no avail...anyone seen this before? [00:30] Ben64: i saw in the internet that ppl with great fast computers have the same problem.. [00:30] phux, yeah it's a decent idea to keep 3 partitions (not including swap which would make 4) [00:31] phux, one for system, one for alternate system and one for files [00:31] phux, then you don't have to worry about A) upgrades or B) recovery [00:31] abstrakt: why not just have 3 harddrives and one for swap to make 4 [00:31] alosa: it has full dtrace support and zfs v28 [00:31] abstrakt: as im the careful guy its actually my setup :) [00:32] matsur: can you try the REDIRECT tag and see if that works [00:32] pfifo, probably because I personally, have a laptop :) [00:32] Anyone know how to setup VLC for remote control...ive enabled it but i cant seem to get to it in the browser [00:32] pfifo: cause i have only 1 laptop [00:32] Ben64: is gnash an alternative..? [00:32] phux, yeah i love that setup actually, not just for recovery purposes for which it's a real life saver, but for testing too [00:32] alosa: those are the main reasons why I love it and use it over linux even on my desktop [00:32] and 2TB of swap would be very silly :p [00:32] 3 laptops with ... [00:32] phux, lets you play around with multiple distros [00:32] 2 TB of swap??? [00:32] Localhost666: no, the adobe one works fine [00:32] lol [00:32] acicula iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9999 works fine, it just requires that i ACCEPT on 9999 as well as 80 [00:33] Ben64: no it doesnt lol [00:33] I'd rath not expose 9999 [00:33] Localhost666: yes it does lol [00:33] pfifo: im a f*cking broke student :) [00:33] phux: if you're looking to do systems programming, then yeah C is good [00:33] matsur: does it redirect the packets to localhost though? [00:33] if i try to play youtube videos it just lags my pc [00:33] acicula: 1 sec [00:33] i tried to install flash 9 instead of 10 version [00:33] phux: you also have poor english skills. language is to be family friendly [00:33] phux: but it's not always the most useful day to day [00:33] Localhost666: you still haven't answered my question [00:33] and the problem continues [00:33] Hey I am trying to use my netbook as a wireless access point, so far I am here http://tinyurl.com/6xzces4 at the broadcom section and I have no idea what to do next [00:33] just to be clear, i was never advising phux against learning C :) [00:34] phux look at golang [00:34] bastidrazor: dont think that depends on my skills [00:34] !ogre [00:34] nice and systemy/highlevel cross [00:34] phux: im just messing around i alwayys do 4 partitions too, if i had 3 harddrives it would still only be seen as 1 ;) [00:34] !voxel [00:35] what do u want to know ben64? [00:35] So Ben64, even though my Docky CPU monitor is saying about 64% cpu use when I'm doing nothing, and gnome-system-monitor is saying I'm only using about %40 at most, which number should I go by? :) [00:35] gnosis: yeah, im actually learning RoR and Java [00:35] acicula: it does not, redirects to eth0 9999 [00:36] pfifo: that reads as you have to rebuild the kernel driver? => apt-get source your current kernel source tree and make it? [00:36] matsur: eh weird [00:36] scott__: run 'htop' in the terminal, it will tell you the truth [00:36] Localhost666: computer specs? gpu, cpu, ram? [00:36] thx [00:36] acicula: what? [00:37] AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 [00:37] matsur: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src 0/0 --dst 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 [00:37] Could someone explain this stupidity that is adding a printer? It sees My printer plugged in, and its name. I click to use to it, it searches for drivers. Finds them, says they are now in use, all green, looks perfect. Then I press forward again and it pops up another page saying pick out drivers.... why? It just said it found them and put them in use.... [00:37] matsur: err wait thats not correct either [00:37] scott__: maybe every time your docky monitor trys to get the cpu usage, itself makes the usage a little more. [00:38] ill upload all the info [00:38] wait [00:38] Ben64: Ok, Docky's right. I'm using almost 100% right now, but none of the values below it add up to 100%. [00:38] scott__: htop says 100% too? [00:38] matsur: http://wiki.debian.org/Firewalls-local-port-redirection this goes through it, but i dont see how that rule is correct [00:38] Ben64: it does [00:39] Ben64: http://pastebin.com/vyEHy4n5 [00:39] I'm trying to accomplish this >>> http://packetlife.net/blog/2011/jan/12/emulating-wans-wanem/ but i can't figure how to setup iptables to route traffic to the second interface based on static routes...ideas?

[00:40] fisix: type mount, also ecryptfs doesnt encrypt your entire hdd, at least not the ubuntu default, just your home directory [00:40] Localhost666: gpu? [00:40] hi all [00:40] phux: perl can also be useful with linux [00:40] i typed 'apt-get install xubuntu-deskto' am i still allowed to hang out here?

[00:42] Ben64: no alternatives for that? [00:42] acicula, makes sense. how do i know how many bits the aes cipher is? [00:42] Localhost666: lubuntu?

[00:43] hum.. ok [00:43] Lubuntu [00:44] it's ubuntu with LXDE [00:44] it's good [00:44] and fast [00:44] acicula, icic. would it be possible for somebody to just retrieve my ubuntu password and crack it as with ophcrack in windows? [00:44] hi guys ! [00:44] hi G_Val [00:44] sup G_Val [00:44] HI G_Val [00:44] scott_: I just program a lot [00:44] fisix: 99.9% not a chance [00:44] i have a problem with boot [00:44] !lxde [00:44] does it have all the tools i need etc? [00:45] hello. How can I share folders via commandline [00:45] ? [00:45] fisix: yes, the password is vulnerable to an offline dictionary attack [00:45] sorry, I guess I didn't read far enough back :) [00:45] phux, yes unfortunately many universities have gone java these days [00:45] i restored a partition/table after accidentally deleted it [00:45] phux, really if you wanna learn to program you should read something like this http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ [00:45] fisix: the solution for that is to pick a proper password [00:45] Milossh: that's not a very detailed question [00:45] CobZo: the zfs v28 is production edition ? [00:45] pfifo, why is that? if somebody has physical access to the comp, can't they just retrieve the hash and crack it? [00:45] heya [00:45] gnosis: I have ubuntu server in vbox, and I want to acces some of its files. How'd I do that [00:45] and i tried to boot linux after that, but it freeze on the plymouth [00:46] scott_: what are the differences between ubuntu and lubuntu? :x [00:46] so i updated grub, reistalled driver for video card [00:46] but nothing changed [00:46] what up ppls..i just installed compsat via the backport package on ubuntu.. [00:46] i got a intel adnavnced-n 6200 wireless card [00:46] I thought maybe it happened because of file system and i check it with gparted on my usb drive [00:46] fisix, if you pick a passwork of lengyh of 10 or more and use a small case an upper case a _ and a number you will be fine [00:47] Localhost666: ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, and Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment. In Lubuntu, the default browser is chromium, and I believe Claws Mail is the default mail client. If you used a lighter DE, you'd have more memory for programming. :D [00:47] abstrakt: nothing wrong with java for learning OOP. it shouldn't be a first language imo though [00:47] that needs iwlagn [00:47] fisix: it takes a long time to crack a hash like that, you password wont be much use to the hackerst great grand son when the crack finally finishes [00:47] it gives me an error while trying to restore the file system [00:47] where can you read ubuntus install log [00:47] if you guys need i can give you an fdisk log [00:47] scott_: you think i won't notice any difference? [00:48] pfifo, icic. why isn't there a rainbow table attack as with ophcrack->windows? [00:48] Localhost666: I don't know, would you? :) [00:48] hey [00:48] abstrakt: thank you very much, i've been searching a long time for something like that [00:48] meh [00:48] lol [00:49] abstrakt: i'm with you on that java sentiment [00:49] Milossh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders that may or may not help [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/594267/ hat should i do _ i don-t want to format my hd cause i have another os on it [00:49] phux, really, the better universities are going to teach scheme/lisp as a first language... decent universities probably python, run of the mill ones, Java [00:49] there are ninja or monk in last co or noo ?? [00:49] fisix, there is but don'tworry about it [00:49] *what should i do [00:49] abstrakt: <3 scheme [00:50] phux, as mark twain liked to say "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education" [00:50] Ben64: according to htop, my cpu usage has hovered around 100% in at least one of my cores for the last few minutes continuously. Any more ideas? [00:50] hiexpo, oh i'm worried alright ;). and i guess people can always just change my pass, no? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/738169/linux_local_root_password_hacking/ [00:50] I've been googling for a solution and found nothing yet. [00:50] fisix: i have no idea what ophcrack is but if such a crack was possible, there would be servers getting rooted quite often. [00:50] abstrakt: ,gnosis: my first language was opal, a functional language. java is a mercy compared to opal!!!!! [00:50] scott__: did u read what i wrote ? [00:51] phux: never heard of that [00:51] gnosis: did u read what i wrote ? [00:51] fisix: did u read what i wrote ? [00:51] any suggestion ? [00:51] but it looks like shit in the wikipedia article [00:51] fisix: its trivial to change a password if you get physical access, but that wont give you acces to the encrypted data. [00:51] time to reboot [00:51] scott__: is it possible to install lubuntu from my pen drive just like i do with ubuntu? [00:51] gnosis: no wonder, my professor developed it himself, it's not used for any program in the world. (my prof stated that himself) [00:51] phux, the linux kernel is written in C, much of the linux software available is written in C [00:52] G_Val: sorry i didn't [00:52] acicula, gotcha that's what i needed to know (: [00:52] Localhost666: yes, thats possible with 99% of distros [00:52] fisix, i am a pen-tester /hacker so make the password long and use differant tables and you will be fine i would suggest if you are worried 16 or better [00:52] phux, linux is really a programmer's OS, if you want to learn linux, learn C (and all the stuff about the tools that help you write it, like gcc and make and automake and autoconf) [00:52] phux: i'd be asking for my money back if i went to that school.... [00:52] alosa: freebsd 8.2 and 8-STABLE are at zfs v15 and 9-CURRENT is at v28, so no [00:52] G_Val, no. What did you say again? [00:52] the strange thing is that fdisk can recognize my partition but gparted and live cd partition utility cannot [00:52] kdub: i'm from germany, i dont pay for university :) [00:53] Localhost666: I believe so [00:53] abstrakt: as i said: thank you, its on my list now :) [00:53] hi all [00:53] alosa: but v28 will be backported to 8-STABLE and will probably appear in freebsd 8.3 [00:53] phux: oktoberfest! [00:53] phux, cool [00:53] phux: whaaaaat!!! i'm movin now! [00:53] phux, you know about rvm right? [00:53] phux: haha, i hate when profs do shit like that [00:53] phux: whats the catch? of no uni fees [00:54] my freshman cs courses taught scheme, ocaml, and java [00:54] scott__: i have a problem with boot linux os, this happen only after i restored a table-partition which was accidentally deleted with testdisk ! [00:54] ocaml is shit, absolute shit [00:54] kdub: im not into that, i come from the other side (north) of germany...we dont like bavarians... [00:55] scott__: i tried all, grub, reinstall drivers but nothing happen, so i used gparted from livecd and i tried to restore my file system ! but it gives me an error [00:55] aeon-ltd: high income tax is the catch (at least in bavaria) [00:55] scott__:fdisk recognize my partition as you can see here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/594267/ but gparted and utility for creating partition integrated in live cd doesn't work [00:55] abstrakt: no, excepting you mean revisioning control management (like git) [00:56] kdub: work in france... :) [00:56] aeon-ltd: no catch... [00:56] its full of french :/ [00:56] phux, http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ use it, enjoy, rinse, repeat [00:56] G_Val: What do you mean it 'doesn't work' does the partition even show up? [00:56] scott__: i don't want format my hd cause i have an additional OS ! [00:57] exactly i cannot see partition [00:57] edbian: i cannot see them, and i can't reinstall only linux os [00:57] phux: best country ever. [00:57] aeon-ltd: well, you gotta pay 300$ per semester but you're getting a metro ticket for that, too [00:58] phux: thats still good, learn some german, get a degree, lifestyle change. meh esp with high amount of places to rent :) [00:58] edbian: so i tried to restore file system but it gives me an error [00:58] G_Val: In the upper right hand corner is a hard drive selector thingy. Are you looking at the right hdd ? [00:58] edbian: yes man as you can see i have only 2 hd [00:59] edbian: sda is ehre my linnux and win os are located [00:59] G_Val: screen shot me what gparted sees on the harddrive you're trying to edit. Can you do that? [00:59] edbian: is where* [00:59] G_Val: I see that. [00:59] sure but is quite easy ! it says unallocated space xD [01:00] edbian: sure but is quite easy ! it says unallocated space xD [01:00] G_Val: no picture then. What does the other drive show in gparted? [01:00] phux: *jealousy* college is fucking expensive in the US [01:00] aeon-ltd: what would you say if i tell you that you also get up to 700$ each month(depending on your parents' income) and you gotta pay back at most the half? :P [01:01] edbian: the secnd one could be recognized and works greatly [01:02] edbian: only the first one cannot be seen idk why [01:02] G_Val: I think the partition table is messed up. I'm not really sure. You should use dd to make a backup or something right now [01:02] G_Val: wait [01:02] phux: my ex-g/f has >$100k in school loans [01:02] gnosis: yeah, i think it's not the best idea to reserve the education for the better earning families [01:02] phux: ok there is something seriously wrong with all the other countries in the world, except netherlands & germany [01:02] !ot [01:02] #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! [01:03] edbian: sorry i'll go there now [01:03] aeon-ltd: no worries! :) [01:03] any server for random help about linux? [01:03] I just wanna talk about Ubuntu [01:03] s33kr: There is a linux channel on this server I believe [01:03] s33kr: ##linux perhaps [01:03] edbian: man i check my data on the first HD and there is no issue with that ! Maybe if i can reinstall only the os i am so happy, or i can back up my data from old partition and "paste" on the new one ! A secure backup is appreciated also [01:04] abstrakt: yes, but as im still in a single "development" environment, ill put it at the bottom of my list [01:04] Hello . . . how do I find the title of a window? I am trying to embed konsole on a Gnome desktop. This is the tutirial I am following: [ http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/ubuntu-embed-terminal-into-you-desktop.html ]. For it to work I need to know the title of the konsole window that opens. [01:04] G_Val: I think if you partition again with gparted there will be no issue (besides your data being erased). What initially caused this problem? [01:04] hi [01:04] Technicus: The 'title' is what shows up in the title bar (next to the x + and -) [01:05] KINGOFSWORDS: hello :) [01:05] i have no titlebar on my windwows....is there anyway of sorting this out without restarting compiz? [01:05] hi edbian [01:05] edbian: i accidentally deleted original patition-table with testdisk...but i immediately restored it [01:05] KINGOFSWORDS: go to tty1, run this: compiz --replace&, switch back to graphics [01:05] is ttyl a cmd or program? [01:05] G_Val: That is probably what gparted is freaking about. Perhaps it isn't restored or it isn't restored correctly [01:06] KINGOFSWORDS: press ctrl + alt + F1 to switch to it. It's a virtual terminal. [01:06] KINGOFSWORDS: you can switch back by ctrl + alt + F7 (graphical) [01:06] !time [01:06] acicula: got it! iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 9999 --sport 80 -j ACCEPT just needed to add the sport [01:06] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [01:07] edbian: so should i reinstall all ? [01:07] matsur: using DNAT or REDIRECT? [01:07] G_Val: If you can. I"m in over my head now [01:07] REDIRECT [01:07] ctrl alt F1 just goes to black screen [01:07] anyone know how to get (or what its called ) smjs (or the spidermonkey javascript shell) in ubuntu? [01:07] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/smjs.1.html [01:07] edbian: how long are u here ? [01:07] KINGOFSWORDS: press enter on that screen. There should be a thing to log in. [01:07] G_Val: what do you mean? [01:07] nah theres nothing there ...just a bit of static at top of screen [01:08] edbian: is there a way to not reinstall all programs after formatting ? something to restore all from old partition's data [01:08] KINGOFSWORDS: Can you press alt + F2 to launch a command window thingy [01:08] acicula: a little odd... everything i can find online seems to suggest redirect puts stuff onto loopback, but i have a catch all accept everything on lo rule as rule 1 in INPUT and it was not working [01:08] edbian: i mean today [01:08] KINGOFSWORDS: I'm betting since you don't have borders that you can't just open a terminal or we'd use that [01:08] command window thingy hehe [01:09] ctrl alt f2 is messed up too [01:09] but normal terminal is okk [01:09] G_Val: You can use dd to copy from the entire partition to a folder or another partition. (make a backup) Then partition the disk and put the copies into those partitions. [01:09] KINGOFSWORDS: ok great. Can you type in the normal terminal? [01:09] Is GNOME 3 available on Natty? [01:09] hiexpo: :) [01:09] edbiian just ran ur cmd in normal terminal and worked great ty [01:10] matsur: yeah, all this does is a more precise match, so dunno [01:10] mr0wl: natty is going to use unity instead of gnome3 (but they are similar) [01:10] edbian: ok but what about my win os ? [01:10] KINGOFSWORDS: glad I could help [01:10] is ctrl alt f1 or f2 the terminal outside of the gui? [01:10] G_Val: You can do the same thing [01:10] mr0wl: nope, there are ppa's though [01:10] is it a problem that it doesnt work? maybe a graphics driver issue [01:10] edbian: so many data [01:10] KINGOFSWORDS: Yes. There should be 6 virtual terminals on F1 through F6 (F7 is graphical) [01:10] edbian: soo * [01:10] would update sort that out? [01:11] edbian: soo i have to reinstall all O__O [01:11] The PPAs are for Natty only? [01:11] KINGOFSWORDS: Sometimes the graphics driver chops it off though. Try using the auto -thingy on the monitor [01:11] acicula: this does a more precise match on 9999 input... previously 9999 was open and connectable, now it appears closed. thats all i was going for, the redirect worked fine before [01:11] G_Val: I know. That's the problem [01:11] mr0wl: no [01:11] G_Val: You don't have to reinstall. YOu just have to partition [01:11] auto thingy? [01:11] edbian: i cannot restore only windows partition table and install onòly linux ? i mean from testdisk [01:11] oh its laptop [01:11] matsur: ah ok [01:11] K gonna try it out. [01:11] no auto tune [01:11] KINGOFSWORDS: Oh, then nevermind the laptop monitor probably doesn't have the auto-thingy [01:11] Thanks [01:11] yeh [01:12] KINGOFSWORDS: I'm not sure why TTY1 isn't working [01:12] you needto open that thingy and type out that thangy omg [01:12] Hi, I booted back into the live cd and tried cfdisk which doesnt work and gparted which again tells me wrong partitions. Any ideas [01:12] haha [01:12] mr0wl: best follow up in #ubuntu+1, its meant for natty. Also make sure you know how to undo the changes you make as you may runinto some problems [01:12] words words words [01:12] ive been in the non gui b4 but think it was on karmic [01:12] Anyone know how to map the windows key to open terminal? Tried adding through keyboard shortcuts but it wont let me use it? [01:12] Ok, will do. [01:12] edbian: did u understand what i mean ? [01:13] KINGOFSWORDS: All versions should have it. Strange that it isn't working [01:13] G_Val: no, rephrase it please [01:13] edbian: i cannot restore only windows partition table and install onòly linux ? i mean from testdisk [01:13] i had real bad problems installing graphics driver so think that has coused a comflict or s'thing [01:13] KINGOFSWORDS, is becoming aregular customer here :) [01:13] btw is it possible to downgrade wine? [01:14] !downgrade [01:14] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [01:14] lol true...this is my linux school =) === torjehoa is now known as cybrhuman [01:14] G_Val: Not exactly re-phrased but. There is 1 partition table for each harddrive. Not for each partition or each OS. It sounds to me like the partition table for that harddrive is messed up or wrong which is why gparted can't see the partitions but fdisk can [01:14] KINGOFSWORDS: That is very likely to have caused the problem yes [01:14] CobZo http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ [01:14] KINGOFSWORDS: open synaptic, find wine, and it will let you choose version [01:14] no not downgraded wine yet.... [01:15] KINGOFSWORDS: uninstall wine. Then use synaptic to force install an old version [01:15] G_Val, what is your prob? Sounds similar to mine [01:15] (it is possible) [01:15] yeh i stupdily dled wine 1.3 [01:15] edbian: yes maybe i can restore the partition table by deleting linux from that [01:15] or the newest ver [01:15] KINGOFSWORDS: whats wrong with 1.3? [01:15] KINGOFSWORDS: You shouldn't be downloading anything. use the wine that is in the repos [01:15] or compile it yourself is better [01:15] KNUBBIG: which one ? i can open a blog called "the issues of ubuntu" [01:15] will i lose my programs thou if i uninstall or downgrade? [01:15] G_Val: IDK man. You can try. I don't know how to manually edit the partition table of a hdd [01:15] G_Val, ;d, the one with the partitions [01:15] sorry yeh i used synaptic to dl [01:16] Ben64 isnt 1.3 a beta/testing ver [01:16] KINGOFSWORDS: I am pretty sure you can remove wine. You shouldn't lose the programs because they aren't part of hte package [01:16] KNUBBIG: uhm i cannot boot linux os cause i accidentally deleted a partition-table but i restored immediately [01:16] KINGOFSWORDS: its development yeah, but it works fine [01:16] KNUBBIG: Strangest thing never happen : windows os works great linux doesn't [01:16] What shall modif in my ~/.screenrc in order to be able to open X apps [01:16] wine 1.3 kinda hangs and the GUI messes up s'times [01:17] I have added a program to the Startup Applications list but i do not have an autorun directory in my home folder? [01:17] edbian: i will try in this way i cannot delete windows data i have no enough space [01:17] it might be the same in a lower ver thou [01:17] G_Val, okay, my windows also detects partitions correctly and Ubuntu doesnt [01:17] G_Val: ok? [01:17] gta san andreas plays great in it thou..so shouldnt complain [01:17] KNUBBIG: only fdisk recognize them [01:18] G_Val, my fdisk partly recognises them, but not completely correct [01:18] edbian: ok ehat man sorry ? i am in over my head also [01:18] I cant even install Ubuntu :( [01:18] edbian: i am trying t find solution by 4 days [01:18] G_Val: yeah. I can't offer advice about what to do :( [01:18] G_Val: ouch. Sorry to hear that [01:18] dev is always better i think but one reason ubuntu don't use dev's is cause the chance of problems and support and ubuntu is aimed at helpingnew users from microft to llinux [01:19] KNUBBIG: yes but before worked great [01:19] KNUBBIG: what is stopping you? [01:19] edbian: don't worry is normal for teenagers xD [01:19] edbian ; got this in terminal after ur cmd [1] 2061 [01:19] ,: command not found [01:19] james@ubuntu:~$ compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png [01:19] Hi, I can't get Ubuntu to start from CD or Install onto my system as it can't seem to find or connect to my SATA RAID Array. Is there anything I can do? Asus Motherboard with an Nvidia Chipset. [01:20] edbian, neither fdisk nor gparted detect the right partitions, Im running a fake raid and somehow Ubuntu tries to detect the partitions on the first member disk of the array which is kinda stupid [01:20] KINGOFSWORDS: On the top and bottom of the cube are pictures. There is a setting to point to what file to use for that picture. The error is saying that that file does not exist. [01:20] KNUBBIG: Mmmm, Ubuntu with raids. I have no experience with that :( [01:20] q/bye [01:20] ah ..so its just because i changed the picture then moved/deleted png? [01:21] edbian, :( I thought I had, had the same setup with a similar onboard controller running on my old comp :( [01:21] KNUBBIG: :( [01:21] KINGOFSWORDS: yes probably [01:21] cool thank you very much [01:21] ssmmdd, is there any error message? [01:22] KINGOFSWORDS: because you ran compiz in the terminal you will see all sorts of errors. Most of them can probably be ignored. [01:22] edbian: what is DD ? === alien_ is now known as Guest4023 [01:22] G_Val: It's a command in the terminal. It converts and copies things. look at man dd [01:23] KNUBBIG: Running from CD: No, it just freezes. When trying to install, it asks if SATA RAID should be activated, I say yes, but then shows no partitions. I should mention it's RAID 5 and NTFS. [01:23] edbian: ok i will thanks anyway man ! [01:23] yeh i seen the same one the other day...remember getting a logo or s'thing on top of cube [01:23] I want to connect to a "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", which printer driver do I select? Generic? [01:24] KNUBBIG: And Windows is already Installed (but don't want to use the Windows Install Version. [01:24] Where's the trash [01:24] hi [01:24] a3Deb: The trash bin? [01:24] ya [01:25] i think it's goine [01:25] gone* [01:25] ssmmdd, okay so Ive got no idea, sorry, I also cant get Ubuntu to detect my correct disk layout on my RAID [01:25] a3Deb: are you in Ubuntu? Did you change anythin/ [01:25] hi, my samba server doesnt work anymore.. can someone give me a hint how i can debug it? [01:25] i'm on backtrack [01:25] which is like ubuntu [01:25] Hmmm, bugger. No one from Ubuntu support atm? [01:25] + around [01:26] ssmmdd: we're here [01:26] KNUBBIG: What Motherboard, what Chipset? [01:26] a3Deb: Then we can't help :( [01:26] Ah, okay edbian. :) [01:26] a3Deb: This is Ubuntu support [01:26] ssmmdd, ASUS P8P67 Pro, Intel Controller [01:26] backtrack is ubuntu [01:27] no, ubuntu is ubuntu [01:27] !backtrack [01:27] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [01:27] a3Deb: They are similar but not the same [01:27] Hmmmm, Ubuntu must not like 3rd party RAID Controllers, do you know if yours is Hardware or Software RAID? [01:27] well this sucks... [01:27] Is there anyway to control the bandwidth and speed of a openvpn client? [01:27] ssmmdd, software afaik [01:27] a3Deb: Go to the backtrack channel [01:27] KNUBBIG: Hmmmm, Ubuntu must not like 3rd party RAID Controllers, do you know if yours is Hardware or Software RAID? [01:27] any1 heard of plymouth for ubuntu? [01:27] i thought backtrack was ubuntu except with "hacker" files [01:28] Hmmmm, mine's Hardware. [01:28] KINGOFSWORDS: I've heard of it. Make splash screens during boot [01:28] What RAID, KNUBBIG? 0? 1? [01:28] a3Deb: I'm not sure of the exact differences. They are similar though [01:28] ssmmdd, 1 [01:28] so join #backtrack [01:28] I can never remember if that's Backup or Speed... [01:28] oh ok i thought it says it will sort out my virtual terminal and glx problem [01:28] ssmmdd, speed [01:28] Ah. Ta. :) [01:28] thanks guys [01:28] 5 is both. [01:29] But you need 3+ HDDs. [01:29] np :), yup but [01:29] KINGOFSWORDS: Not that I know of but possibly [01:29] yes :D [01:29] Expense ++ [01:29] Anyway, hopefully someone can help us soon. :) [01:29] Hello, I was wondering: If I get the 11.04 beta will it upgrade to stable once it comes out? [01:30] Or will it be a mess? [01:30] I hope so, the last idea I got was to remake all partitions so the partition table might be fixed, but thats not guaranteed [01:30] arch_is_awesome: yes [01:30] arch_is_awesome: (it might be a mess) [01:31] is it ok 2 update grub? [01:31] Okay, thanks. edbian: Do you have nightlies? [01:31] Should I be able to upgrade to the Natty beta from Maverick in the Update Manager? [01:31] KNUBBIG: Nah, I was assuming it would see the partitions and you could just install it next to Windows. [01:31] will it affect anything [01:31] arch_is_awesome: Do I have nightlies? [01:31] Does ubuntu? [01:31] ssmmdd, that was true for my old PC, but somehow it isnt for the new one [01:31] yock: not unless you do update-manager -d in the term [01:31] arch_is_awesome: I don't know... [01:31] KNUBBIG: You have Windows Intalled? [01:31] Nightly builds.. [01:31] arch_is_awesome: Ubuntu is not arch ;) [01:31] ssmmdd, zes [01:31] haha [01:31] yes, damn kb layout [01:32] Okay then bye [01:32] hahaha [01:32] Version? HDD Formatting type? [01:32] arch_is_awesome should just use arch! [01:32] I want to connect to a "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" on my network, which printer driver do I select? Generic? [01:32] hi on ubuntu 10.10 2006 comp [01:32] ssmmdd, Win 7, what do you mean with formatting type? [01:32] edbian: Thanks! [01:32] KNUBBIG: FAT32? NTFS? [01:32] ssmmdd, NTFS [01:32] idk [01:32] KNUBBIG: 32 or 64 bit? [01:33] yock: no problem (it worked ?) [01:33] ssmmdd, 64 [01:33] Hmmm. [01:33] edbian: Yep. Updating now. [01:33] KNUBBIG: Wonder if it's something to do with Win 64 bit / NTFS? [01:33] try virtual box have a win7 cd right? [01:33] yock: Hope you like it!!! [01:33] ssmmdd, dont think so, had that on my old pc, too [01:33] Ah, okay. [01:34] #tupa [01:34] KNUBBIG: Must simply be that it doesn't like our RAID Controllers without special Drivers. [01:34] if your runing 32 bit you cant run 64bit [01:34] ssmmdd, true :) [01:34] win 7-vista only can take ntfs [01:34] KNUBBIG: I know Windows has a mode so you can pre-load specially needed Drivers during Install. [01:34] edibuntu: Ubuntu calls them daily instead of nightly. [01:34] patr: but Ubuntu can read ntfs [01:34] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [01:34] KNUBBIG: Not sure if Ubuntu does it too. [01:34] xp or win2k cna take fat 32 [01:34] patr: but Ubuntu can read/write* ntfs [01:35] arch_is_awesome: there ya go [01:35] Thanks [01:35] arch_is_awesome: You should just use arch :) [01:35] Arch is messy [01:35] ssmmdd, mh, no idea too, but it detects _some_ partitions on my RAID, but not all ... [01:35] i know just saying [01:35] edbian: Any idea with mine & KNUBBIG's problem? [01:35] ssmmdd: no clue [01:35] KNUBBIG: Lucky, I get none at all. [01:35] ssmmdd: :( [01:35] arch_is_awesome: arch is awesome [01:35] what is a rsid card? [01:36] raid card [01:36] edbian: Okay, no problem, should I post the problem on a forum or does Ubuntu have some sort of support centre? [01:36] I actually like arch! Yet, Ubuntu is good. I am not a fanboy of any distro: quadruple booting Arch, Chakra, Ubuntu, and Fedora [01:36] arch is not messy, it is super clean [01:36] what is a raid card? [01:36] patr: raid lets you connect multiple hdds into cool configurations like automatic backup or striping to improve performance [01:36] Two are arch based! [01:36] eddyarif: Christ you type fast! [01:36] ssmmdd: You're in the support center. A forum post is a great idea. [01:36] edbian * [01:37] ssmmdd: but first search google [01:37] Good idea. [01:37] * ssmmdd slaps Google. [01:37] KNUBBIG: If I find anything, I'll poke you. [01:37] arch_is_awesome: what is chakra ? [01:37] ssmmdd, thanks [01:37] #tupa [01:37] wow how can a pc have a raid do it need to be a server like desktop [01:37] ssmmdd: I type fast? [01:37] An arch-based live usb/cd with KDE [01:37] KNUBBIG: Am I okay to PM? This Channel's pretty busy. [01:37] chakra-project.org [01:37] edbian: You seem to, yes. [01:37] how do i creade a file? [01:37] arch and chakra are the same thing [01:38] patr: It needs to either have a card (hardware raid) or support in the motherboard or the OS can do it. [01:38] ssmmdd: Thanks :) [01:38] \join #tupa [01:38] KINGOFSWORDS: what type of file? [01:38] ssmmdd, of course, thanks [01:38] http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=chakra [01:38] dunno it just says create one for /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-fix.conf: [01:38] well bye [01:38] patr: If the OS does it I believe it's called a software raid. I"m not sure. There may be another type of software raid. [01:38] \quit [01:38] oops [01:38] KNUBBIG: Okay, I'll give Google a good kicking. [01:38] macpro has that option how many drives can it support think 4 [01:39] oh guess conf file then:s [01:39] thanks [01:39] KINGOFSWORDS: that's a text file. gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-fix.conf [01:39] installing wifi drivers lol [01:39] patr: That's a software raid [01:39] great thx [01:39] KINGOFSWORDS: no problem [01:39] get ati its better [01:40] nivida is for intel wawa [01:40] patr: nvidia is owned by intel [01:40] sdd support in linux 10.10 [01:41] howdy guys, I'm working on a 'buntu meerkat server, I'm trying to setup a server that will handle both linux and windows logins, but the server has to get its accounts from a network-wide windows domain controller... any ideas? [01:41] what! [01:41] edbian: What?! Since when did that happen? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:41] how can ati interfer with intel boards [01:41] Can someone tell me how i can make samba listen to all interfaces? [01:41] Ok, this ip comes back to amazon.com why would they be trying to hack into my box, `Apr 14 13:47:35 ubuntudesktop kernel: [22256.409617] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:14:2a:c9:c9:39:00:22:3f:c6:68:f5:08:00 SRC=72.21.206.84` [01:42] HyperShock: Ohh maybe I'm wrong? AMD owns ATI [01:42] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [01:42] PW-toXic_: goto chan #samba [01:42] AMD does own ATI [01:42] edbian: yes, amd owns ati, but nvidia is still their own cool rocking selves. :) [01:42] HyperShock: Thanks for calling me out! [01:42] Eighteens: why do you think they're trying to hack you? [01:43] * HyperShock gives edbian a cookie and a correct time out. [01:43] all these wierd things in kern.log [01:43] Eighteens: That's called a script kiddy. The IP is probably spoofed [01:43] CCNY: yeah thats right [01:43] O q é isso? [01:43] amd rools [01:43] Eighteens: amazon rents out servers [01:43] why the hell would apt-get install mdadm install postfix, wtf [01:44] edbian: gnosis: ok, thank you for the info [01:44] wow you two type fast! [01:44] KNUBBIG: have you got some nonstandard repos enabled? that would explain it. [01:44] HyperShock, no, booting from live cd [01:44] I don't type that fast!!! :( [01:45] got to reboot [01:45] If I have a discrete ATI graphics card and I've activated the use of proprietary drivers, do I get updates for the graphics card automatically or should I download them manually in order to stay up to date? [01:45] oem disconecting [01:46] KNUBBIG: which live cd? [01:46] HyperShock, this channel seems to be quite inaktive ;) [01:46] where is located crontab file? [01:46] oscargot: You got automatic updates. A version of the proprietary driver is maintained in the fglrx package [01:46] oscargot: should update by itself [01:46] I wish I did, but it's my first week on dvorak and sadly I'm not up to speed yet. [01:46] oscargot: the package will update automatically when necessary, if you do it manually you can break it [01:47] mmm so many replies >: ) [01:47] CCNY: edbian: Ben64: Thx guys [01:47] yup. [01:47] oscargot: sure [01:47] oscargot: np [01:48] rcconf: under /etc [01:48] HyperShock, sorry, currently 1104 [01:48] HyperShock, but nvm Ill try another thing to get Ubuntu to install :p brb [01:49] gnosis: thanks but it doesnt contain my crontab settings [01:50] do i need to update in update mgr? will it effect my setup? [01:50] KINGOFSWORDS: how else would you update? [01:51] yeh i keep reading on forums thread where ppl keep getting problems and bugs after updates [01:51] How do I find an old .deb package [01:51] http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/amd64/ettercap-common/download [01:51] I dont want the latest version [01:51] KINGOFSWORDS: people think they cause bugs but I don't think they do as often as people think. generally updating is a good idea [01:51] rcconf: sorry, they're actually in /var/spool/cron/crontabs [01:51] will update sort out conflicts and dodgy things ive dome to my os [01:52] but you shouldn't edit them directly [01:52] gnosis: i just want to copy [01:52] :) [01:52] KINGOFSWORDS: likely they won't make any difference. [01:52] yeh true alot of time its human error and paranoia that causes problems [01:52] KINGOFSWORDS: updating is a good idea :) [01:53] KINGOFSWORDS: It's one of the best features of linux! [01:53] ur advice has been good so far so ill do it... [01:53] KINGOFSWORDS: at minimum do the security updates [01:53] no reason to leave your box vulnerable [01:53] KINGOFSWORDS: haha. Thanks. I've never seen anybody not want to update before! [01:54] i had issue with kernel obstructing internet connection so was fearful of updating it and grub [01:54] KINGOFSWORDS: kernels updates are rare. Plus the old versions are left in the grub menu so you can still use them after an update [01:55] ok [01:55] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [01:55] hopefully sort my virtual KB issue [01:56] Hey, I'm looking for a new laptop that will work well on Ubuntu, but also have decent graphics support, for under $1000, anyone have any suggestions? [01:56] hi [01:56] Jetpack: any of them? hahaha [01:56] is Ubuntu 10.10 LSB compliant? [01:57] jetpack: I've had a lot of luck with HP, but don't go with their bargain-bin computers [01:57] gnosis: /media/XXX/var/spool/crob/crontabs/USER ;) [01:57] using root [01:57] edbian: I just got a laptop, but it had nVidia Optimus. Apparently there is no support for it, and most new laptops come with it. [01:57] I have a nice HP tablet PC that runs nicely [01:57] Jetpack: ahh, I'm not up to date on that. [01:58] I meant to include a decent graphics card [01:58] someone can say me if Ubuntu current stable version 10.10 is LSB compliant? [01:58] xubuntu 10.10 looks exactly the same as gnome [01:58] rcconf: ? [01:59] gnosis: crontab thing. [01:59] pfifo: It uses the same toolkit to draw the gui (gtk) [01:59] hallo [02:00] i has question [02:00] ok i have a question, I cant sudo, i am in both the sudo and admin and root groups, i have uncommented lines in sudoers, using visudo, done this over 9000 time but this time I cant get it to work. [02:00] pfifo: log out and back in [02:00] can ubuntu's startup disk creator make a bootable usb of puppy linux from an iso? [02:01] edbian, i did thrice, set a valid hostname, setup a hosts file, natty, i mean notta [02:01] pfifo: Can you pastebin /etc/sudoers for me? [02:01] yes [02:01] pfifo: what happens when you try to sudo? [02:02] rogerio, no. it uses debs instead of rpms [02:02] gnosis, it says "pfifo is not in the sudoers file, this incident will be reported' [02:03] ROOT can use sudo no problem [02:03] just for this reason? [02:03] pfifo: root doesn't need to use sudo [02:03] ok. thanks for answer [02:03] edbian, http://pastebin.com/Kraq1p7F [02:04] Ben64, of course, but root cn still run the command, and it works as expected [02:04] root can run anything with full permissions [02:04] so Debian, is not LSB compliant too... [02:04] pfifo: anyway, you need to make sure your user is part of the 'admin' group [02:04] pfifo: is admin a group or a user? [02:05] yo ubuntu people, where is the unity channel? :D [02:05] root@pfifo-laptop:/home/pfifo# groups pfifo [02:05] pfifo : pfifo root sudo audio video admin gdm [02:05] rogerio, there may be others. and you are correct about debian [02:05] pfifo: if admin is a group then in /etc/sudoers you need %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [02:05] a percent sign is needed for groups [02:06] edbian: nice catch, i didn't notice the missing % [02:06] Ben64: :) [02:06] thanks [02:06] ahh a % edbian i haven't tried it butknow thats it, good catch [02:06] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:06] I am trying to download ettercap-common_0.7.3-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb [02:07] pfifo: thanks :) [02:07] but version before [02:07] glad I could help [02:07] pfifo: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL <--- thats in my sudoers [02:07] is there a unity channel? [02:07] unity channel? [02:07] How can I download the version before of ettercap-common_0.7.3-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb [02:07] edbian, confirmed working, thanks [02:07] pfifo: awesome [02:08] I have another question, how do i disable the root account after enabling it [02:08] pfifo: ummm, remove it's password I believe [02:09] pfifo: Why did you create a root? Why did you take pseudo away from yourself? [02:09] change password to ! in the shadow file [02:09] edbian, due to the sudo problem, i setup root password for maintence [02:10] pfifo: How did you loose sudo for yourself? [02:10] Hi guys; I'm looking to make my Ubuntu laptop and Windows 7 desktop work together. This would include synching certain folders, ability to control my Windows box from Linux (is this SSH? I'm not too familiar with networking) and so on. Does anyone have any pointers? [02:10] edbian, i installed via debootstrap, cause i wanted xubuntu and only have the ubuntu iso on my memory stik [02:11] edbian, so the never was sudo or pfifo or anything [02:11] AegisX, syncing folders should be easy, SSH should work your needs, but if you want a "easy" way to do that.. look up "Teamviewer" it has a Linux and Windows version, and will make controlling either desktop from the other, very easy [02:11] pfifo: make root's line in /etc/shadow similar to mine "root:!:13818:0:99999:7:::" [02:11] pfifo: I see! fixed now :) [02:12] AegisX: You can set up ssh server on windows but because windows is a GUI based OS it is generally easier to use something like rdesktop [02:12] AegisX: ssh and samba [02:12] How do I get the Network section to "Refresh"? === peregrinator_six is now known as synaptic_siX [02:13] Ben64, im afarid to edit /etc/shadow, are you sure? [02:14] pfifo: yeah it's fine [02:15] hello [02:15] Ah, thanks guys; thats a lot of good info. I'll go do some research! [02:15] what's the file used in ubuntu in replacement of boot/grub/menu.lst? [02:15] !grub2 [02:15] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:15] I've got the problem that the windows partition doesn't boot from the menu [02:16] Hello all, I have a ubuntu server that handles logins for a linux/unix lab.. my campus is moving towards a windows active directory based single-sign-on... is there a way I can get my server to ask the windows servers about user authentication, while still keeping control of the clients? [02:16] why is wubi installing lucid desktop? O.o [02:17] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:18] CCNY: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/40983 that may or may not help [02:18] Oh, also; I can only connect to my Windows shared files by Alt + F2 then typing in the IP address of that machine. Is there any way to make the process easier? Automatically mount it, or anything like that? [02:19] I'm running this command "dd if=/dev/sda |cpipe -vt| dd of=/dev/sdg" it shows the progress of the transfer.. I'm copying to a external usb drive and the speeds seems to be at 8-9MBps ... how can I get faster speeds since I'm copying 250Gb's? [02:21] AegisX: places>network> ? [02:21] mickster04: Doesn't work for me unless I do the Alt + F2 thing first [02:21] hello where is syndaemon start up located? [02:21] oracle_vm: which usb is it? 1.1? 2? 3? [02:21] AegisX: error messages? [02:22] AegisX: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ may or may not help [02:22] AegisX: you could add a startup script that does it? [02:22] mickster04: Actually, scratch that. It doesn't work at all. Damn, I didn't read the error message. [02:22] ubuntu is screwed :( please help - my startup apps do not run and I cant start VLC - get socket_bind_error (permission denied) and no suitable interface [02:22] !syndaemon [02:22] swatto: start up apps? and what about a different program? [02:22] gnosis: Thanks, I'll try that. [02:23] mickster04: I'm a complete newbie, really, so I'll take a look at scripting too. Thanks for the tip [02:23] can the regular cd installation be installed for dual boot with windows as well or just the "windows install" [02:23] hello where is syndaemon start up located? [02:23] mickster04: 2.0 1.5TB extrenal usb drive [02:23] thanks everyone, have a good night [02:23] Oqm: regular install CDs can set up dual boot. Windows install is installing inside windows filesystem (wihtout partitioning) [02:24] mickster84: yep my startup apps dont run, i want Xchat to start on boot but it doesnt it just dont load and neither does any of my other user defined programs..bluetooth etc all load fine though? Other apps work, VLC did work but now it doesnt for some reason [02:24] cheers edbian [02:24] oracle_vm: what speeds are you expecting? [02:24] swatto: curious, no idea, can you m anually start x-chat? what have you changed recently? [02:26] mickster84: yep i can manually start it - i havent changed anything as far as im aware, ive tried resetting the startup applications back to defaults but has made no difference, im wondering if it is a profile issue? [02:26] !@tab | swatto [02:26] swatto: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:27] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:27] swatto: yeah i dunno...keep asking though... [02:27] ill make a new user and group to see if that solves it [02:28] mickster04: 15-19MBps [02:29] oracle_vm: is your port 2.0 [02:30] mickster04: yes [02:30] oracle_vm: thee are several things that could be causing it. [02:30] oracle_vm: an i dunno how to find out what might be the problem [02:31] oracle_vm: are you transferring lots of small files? [02:31] oracle_vm, i also believe the pipe is long so just use simple dd though you wont have the progress [02:31] mickster04: somebody just told me it may be becuase it's a sector to sector copy of a drive that it's slower [02:31] you can monitor file size [02:31] gnosis: no [02:32] ah, i just looked back at your orig command, nm [02:32] yes that also account it is a raw copy [02:32] oracle_vm: oh yeah, so it'll probably be doing lots of checks or whatever which won't help speed much [02:32] obengdako: so raw copies are inherently slower?.. i wouldn;t have thought so for some reason [02:33] nope they aren't because they are raw but i also was thinking your pipe | made the process too long [02:34] hello [02:34] how do i make it so I can compress iso disc images via right click menu ? [02:34] obengdako: I've done dd with much smaller transfer like less than 10Gb ,, I would be antsy about anything larger without any indication of it's prgress [02:35] I need help installing linux on windows Me [02:35] just a simple dd if=/dev of=/ would do but the piping for progress might slow it down [02:35] firered365, umm format the hdd to remove that horrible OS and then start the installer [02:35] firered365: you're shitting me [02:36] Ok, How do I format the hdd [02:36] Ben64, editing /etc/shadow created problems [02:36] firered365, can your computer boot from cd? [02:36] firered365: do you seriously have windows ME? [02:36] I tried nothing. [02:36] or do you need a boot floppy [02:37] oracle_vm, do you want to mainttain the file structure? is that why you are dd ing or just want to copy contents [02:37] It has a cd drive [02:37] firered365, ok put the cd in and reboot the computer does it boot the cd or go back into windows [02:37] hey, I'm in the laptop market and I'm wondering how Ubuntu/Linux handles systems with dual-graphics systems (i.e Intel HD 3000 and an AMD card in the same laptop). Thanks :) [02:37] i'm trying to launch pureftp with arguments, sudo service pure-ftp --trustedgid 1005 start, what is the right way to do this? [02:37] firered365: first you go to ubuntu.com and read the instructions [02:38] firered365: have you downloaded an ubuntu iso? [02:38] firered365: have you turned your computer on? [02:38] it goes back to windows and yes [02:38] obengdako: a windows hardrive I had messed up 2 years ago so I'm finally getting around to fixing/recovering the damaged partition.. I want to image it first [02:38] mickster04: Its swatto - im on a test account and its working fine now - can start VLC too [02:38] aroman: if you stay away from nvidia you may be fine [02:38] l3aked4uftw: what do you mean? [02:38] test: so your profiloe is kaput? [02:38] aroman: for ati cards there may be a solution with open drivers (same with nvidia if you re lucky) [02:38] how do i disable notifications, in fact how do i disable EVERYTHING that wants to automatically do anything without my explicitly typing a command on the command line [02:38] firered365: have you backed up any files you want to keep? [02:38] l3aked4uftw: oh you mean opensource drivers, as opposed to using proprietary ones? [02:38] okay okay then i guess you have to do the slow dd for 250GB oracle_vm sorry [02:39] mickster04: yep looks like it, must have messed about so much thats something is screwed [02:39] l3aked4uftw: I was under the impression they offered inferior performance. [02:39] aroman: you may want to have a read at "optimus" technology for nvidia and "switchable graphics" for ati [02:39] hey guys. how can i get onto a mailing list that sends me an email every time a new release of ubuntu comes out? I've been looking all over for that [02:39] mickster04: at least its not an OS reinstall [02:39] aroman: they may offer inferior performance but they re the only that let you switch [02:39] aroman: then the easiest solution is to create a new user with admin privalidges and remove the old one imo [02:39] i know 11.04 is coming soon, and I wanted to get an email when it was ready [02:39] Dont want to back up any files [02:39] obengdako: next time i'll go for internal sata [02:39] mickster04: I think that was a misdirected ping :) [02:39] webroasters: well just set an email to email you on the 28th? [02:39] Hello I'm having an issue after updating from server 9.04 to 9.10 and have put the problem @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/594299/ thanks ahead for helping out :) [02:40] aroman: yes ineed [02:40] lol. funny [02:40] aroman: i saw your nick and typed it :p [02:40] aroman: dual card = integrated card for low demanding stuff, discrete card for high demanding [02:40] webroasters: the schedule is very consistent [02:40] test then the easiest solution is to create a new user with admin privalidges and remove the old one imo [02:40] firered365: go into bios and set cd drive as first boot device [02:40] oracle_vm, hehehe [02:40] right i know [02:40] How do i do that [02:40] but a newsletter or something would be nice [02:40] l3aked4uftw: The switching/optimus system lets the OS decide which card is best for the task at hand, right? [02:40] mickster04: I need to get some stuff from Home directory though [02:40] l3aked4uftw: like per-application, I thought. [02:40] webroasters: a newsletter saying what? [02:40] firered365: reboot, it should say how to go into setup, usually F1 or delete [02:41] issue is with booting. [02:41] nevermind [02:41] test: copy /home/user /home/newuser [02:41] thanks guys [02:41] aroman: nvidia offers NO support for linux (only open drivers do) ati offers open drivers which may in a future (not a far one i suppose) work with linux , if you buy a so called dual card equipped laptop it will have that technology and if you have a nvidia you will only use the intel/amd integrated card (not sure amd has a gma-like product) [02:41] it doesnt say [02:41] firered365: without knowing your bios i can't give exact instructions, but look for boot menu, boot order, soemthing like that [02:41] Ok what is BIOS [02:41] i am trying to change the primary display in ubuntu 10.10 to my external gateway 23 inch monitor. I have a ati radeon hd 6250 graphics card and the ati catalyst does not have an option to choose which display to put as my primary display. What should i do? [02:41] mickster04: how can i create the swatto account again [02:42] can somebody help me? why wouldn't ubuntu boot windows xp in /dev/sda1? [02:42] firered365: are you doing this on another comp right now? [02:42] yes [02:42] aroman: simple example, you boot up your windows system and open paint, here you re using the integrated card, then you get bored and wanna play lets say crysis? it automatically turns on the discrete one, on linux this isnt widely supported yet, and won't be (seems so) from nvidia anyways [02:42] all I get is a cursor blinking [02:42] obengdako: I just checked the chart on wikipedia for usb,sata and thunderbolt transfer speeds.. i for one can;t wait for thunderbolt in everything.. [02:42] well ubuntu...grub2 [02:42] l3aked4uftw: In that situation, is there any dual combo that would work with Linux? [02:43] firered365: when you turn on the computer, before getting to windows, it should show something like "press F1 to enter setup" [02:43] i am trying to change the primary display in ubuntu 10.10 to my external gateway 23 inch monitor. I have a ati radeon hd 6250 graphics card and the ati catalyst does not have an option to choose which display to put as my primary display. What should i do? [02:43] Like I'm browsing the web, and then I want to play Nexuiz or something. [02:43] it doesnt say [02:43] oracle_vm, really i got to check this thunderbolt out myself [02:43] press F1 to start [02:43] obengdako: thunderbolt is 1,250MBps transfer speed.. [02:43] aroman: nexuiz should work with gma i think, in the last years i been using only those lol [02:43] firered365: try just continually pressing F1, F2, and delete while it's booting then [02:43] obengdako: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA#Comparison_to_other_buses [02:43] it should go into a very old looking menu screen [02:43] Ok thanks [02:44] oracle_vm, gosh that is quite fast i mean really fast [02:44] aroman: i dont get your first statement, are you buying a laptop or you sell them? [02:44] l3aked4uftw: I'm buying :) [02:45] aroman: in that case may i ask you what you want to do with it? [02:45] and I only have use for Linux, so I want to make sure the hardware works as cleanly as possible with it. [02:45] i am trying to change the primary display in ubuntu 10.10 to my external gateway 23 inch monitor. I have a ati radeon hd 6250 graphics card and the ati catalyst does not have an option to choose which display to put as my primary display. What should i do? [02:45] gnosis: you have patience :D [02:45] l3aked4uftw: coding and schoolwork. [02:46] aroman: most gma (except 950 or 500 i forgot which one, but very old one) work out of the box with latest versions of ubuntu, nothing required [02:46] how can I spin down my SSD drive to save power? [02:46] aroman: that means no heavy gaming or uber-hd video in flash or some cpu killer plugin? [02:46] pfifo: LOL [02:46] aroman, S.M.A.R.T. is trolling me [02:46] mickster04: i'm in shock. can't believe someone still has a computer with winME [02:46] l3aked4uftw: I'm sure i'll be using Flash, and I'd like to be able to play 1080p video and stuff [02:47] i"m not looking to do video editing or playing serious games on it [02:47] One time I was like.. WinME is so old.. it will run so fast on my computer... [02:47] pfifo: you're funny :D [02:47] pfifo: haha [02:47] couldn't be more wrong [02:47] aroman: if you like i may hint you with something, like model what to search and so on [02:47] gnosis: i wonder how he heard of ubuntu? telegram? [02:47] l3aked4uftw: sure [02:47] SMART error 'device is being used outside of design parameters' [02:47] anyone here knows how to successfully install and run fallout 3? i installed it the way wine forums said and it just wont run because it says cdrom not found...even though it's the original disc. i even tried no cd crack! [02:48] aroman: omg im lagging like crazy tonight, if i disconnect dont fear, i should be back lol [02:48] pfifo: well it aint a tea-cosy [02:48] mickster04: pony express [02:48] camelot: investigate playonlinux [02:48] !appdb [02:48] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:48] i have, i went back and forth on it [02:48] aroman: well in the first place what is your current value and budget?

I don't particularly care about brands so long as it's reliable and trustworthy. [02:49] aroman: you live in the usa? [02:49] yes [02:50] aroman: dell is supposed to be the only that sells you their repair guy , want to start with them?

(I am currently on another computer atm btw) [02:51] Hello People!!! [02:51] l3aked4uftw: lol [02:51] ShapeShifter499: have you tried mounting the hdd in a live session?

[02:52] Jetpack: thers a few laptop review sites, I found one that listed all avail video chipsets out for laptops ranked from 'high to low' I basically printed out the list of video cards avail. and went shopping for whatever had the highest ranked nvidia gpu. that was in my price range. ($1000) [02:52] ShapeShifter499: you can mount the partition in cd live!!! [02:52] ShapeShifter499: what do you mean nothing? [02:53] nietoyface, no [02:53] aroman: rock solid enterprise pc (you may have to contact their agents to buy though) with all the stuff you may want (even fingerprint reader which idk if will work with linux) or simple performing home one? [02:53] nietoyface, it trys then errors [02:53] Dr_Willis, that sounds great, any idea which site it was? [02:53] ShapeShifter499: and what errors might they be? [02:53] l3aked4uftw: just a home one lol [02:53] !rescue | ShapeShifter499 [02:53] ShapeShifter499: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [02:53] aroman: differences "enterprise" the tech will even kiss ur feet "home" he'll go "you re a home user u suck" but will fix ur pc [02:53] aroman: okie dokie on it [02:53] hi Dr_Willis nice to see you again [02:54] mickster04, oh ok [02:55] Jetpack: http://www.notebookcheck.net [02:55] Jetpack: to be honest with you - I dont see the point for most people tio get a 1000$ laptop. Unless you need a 'gaming laptop' [02:55] aroman: omg in the usa configuration is different, give me a minute please :D [02:56] Dr_Willis: I was mainly just specifying a price range, I'll take nearly anything that's not an integrated card [02:56] how do i make a script that will link to a directory? [02:56] Jetpack: i got the laptop thta had the highest class nvidia card, that just happened to be in my range. on sale :) [02:57] aroman: ok i highly suggest we go for arrandale processors (old gen) which are supposed to be working rather than sandy bridge which may be fairly new and untested, is that fine? [02:57] i want it to double click and bam, there's the directory [02:57] My issue was most likely the Grub.conf not matching the new kernel [02:57] Jetpack: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-335M.24060.0.html See tje 'class 1' list at the right side. I just looked at that list when shopping. [02:57] Bye Bye ^_^ [02:58] mickster04, nietoyface omg yay... I just tried to mount via live cd and it mounted [02:58] ShapeShifter499: copy and paste :D [02:58] Jetpack: one Nice feature about the laptop i got was it had 2 Hard drives. :) One for Linux, one for windows. [02:58] bbl ya all. [02:58] anyone know how to make scripts/ [02:58] a3Deb: that's not very clear. can you explain what you want it to do? [02:59] i want it to open a window to a director [02:59] yeah ubottu i did exactly to the T what wine help section on fallout 3 told me to do, and nothing! it keeps saying no cdrom found.

The printer connected to one of the computers works fine from here, though [03:03] aroman: you there? [03:03] l3aked4uftw: haha sorry [03:04] UbuntuN00b: try switching boot order in bios? [03:04] can't acer aspire doesn't find sd card (as its pci internally not usb) [03:04] gnosis: lol, judging the time here and my brain's conditions i would have NEVER thought of that, good one :) [03:04] UbuntuN00b: then you have to install grub on the first hdd [03:05] UbuntuN00b: ohhh, i thought you meant you had an ssd [03:05] UbuntuN00b: you have a card reader or something? [03:05] aroman: you know what turbo boost is? [03:06] UbuntuN00b: the manual will say if you can boot from the SD card? [03:06] i bought a usb one... didn't come up in bios (waster of $12) [03:06] UbuntuN00b: what boot ptions do you get in the bios [03:06] can't book from SD card from bios....but with grub your suppose to be able to [03:06] l3aked4uftw: yep [03:06] aroman: you have it as a priority?

[03:07] gnosis: i know what it is i was helping aroman pick up a notebook lol [03:07] gnosis: thanks though [03:07] where would the menu settings be saved?

[03:10] Hello . . . is it possible to display blinking text with Gnome Terminal? [03:11] gnosis: yep [03:11] teage: for why? [03:11] Technicus: for why? [03:11] Technicus: sorry [03:11] teage: sorry [03:11] mickster04 , would it be in .local do you think. im not sure what exactly im looking for [03:11] -_- [03:11] mickster04: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:11] teage: me neither [03:11] For because it is not and I want it to. [03:12] because i have edited my applications menu and i would like to back it up [03:12] aroman: im on a 2mb connection my 3g stick is supposed to be 14 yet my old slow modem pwnt the stick, and btw its me, it didnt log the other off freenode lol [03:13] aroman: how long would you like the warranty to last? [03:13] gnosis: When I click on the network, the computers do not show up. The printer connected to one of the computers works fine from here, though [03:13] l3aked4uftw2: damn [03:13] !restoregrub | UbuntuN00b [03:13] l3aked4uftw2: don't care [03:13] Technicus: most modern terminals don't support blinking. thankfully [03:13] aroman: even if its 1 year collect n return is it fine for u? [03:13] mickster04 , I believe its in .local because i just found my .desktop launchers i have created. Think im on the right track [03:13] !grub [03:13] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:13] gnosis: konsole supports blinking. [03:13] teage: awesome [03:13] l3aked4uftw2: yeah [03:14] Hi folks, I'm having a problem here getting sound to work, have looked in the forums for a while and thought to ask if anyone can give me a hand. I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 and alsa seems to be working fine. My onboard SiS 97 (7012) is listed and I can even mute and unmute channels in alsamixer [03:14] aroman: o great, unlike me you dont waste your money on warranty =P [03:14] :P [03:14] MK`: dunno, sorry [03:15] ender: so are your speakers plugged in and turned on /up? [03:15] aroman: never using windows? [03:15] l3aked4uftw2: yeah I dont intend to run it [03:15] mickster04: yeah... =) [03:16] ] [03:16] mickster04: the icon in the gui mixer shows dots after the speaker, as if it's muted or unplugged, but the master channel (actually all channels) are not muted. [03:16] ender: no sounds at all? [03:16] !grub > me [03:16] UbuntuN00b, please see my private message [03:16] aroman: one is this http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=fncor05&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_id=inspiron-15r-combo-mod tweak it if you like while i see a sandy bridge one (wider choice, mind you im not sure sb will work) [03:17] mickster04: Also, It was working fine under an Ubuntu live I ran earlier. [03:17] back [03:17] aroman: 3gb ram should be plenty, if you want you can tweak something , let me know [03:17] ender: ... -_- no idea then [03:17] l3aked4uftw2: dell has gone to shit the last few years [03:17] I transfered my boot drive to completely different computer and now I can't get ubuntu to boot (it's a natty install). Dmesg/kern log shows nothing in particular. New compy has different graphics hardware (AMD not nVidia) so I purged nvidia-* but still no luck booting. Any ideas? [03:17] gnosis: what you mean? [03:17] !ohmy | gnosis [03:17] gnosis: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [03:17] ah, sorry [03:18] radhruin: actually install grub to the hdd [03:18] If I setup a SSH server and do not login (GDM) it will be listening right? [03:18] rcconf: yes [03:18] mickster04: I should say I'm on the box now, I can get to the CLI but if I let it boot all the way it freezes. [03:18] radhruin: yes [03:18] rcconf: yes [03:18] l3aked4uftw2: i worked a job where i was managing 300+ laptops, mix or dell and IBM [03:18] l3aked4uftw2: we had many more problems with the dells [03:18] mickster04: tks man! =) Anyone else got an idea?? [03:19] gnosis: what kinda problems? [03:19] radhruin: uhm...sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get upgrade? [03:19] !natty | radhruin [03:19] radhruin: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [03:19] ayecee mickster04: same for a VNC server? [03:19] Ubuntu default [03:20] l3aked4uftw2: hard drives died constantly. also the cases were terribly fragile, the hinge design in particular was awful [03:20] gnosis: i own a vostro and i can quite say its the best laptop i ever bought/seen/dreamed of lol, how old were the ones you had problems with? [03:20] hypershock: I was hoping someone accomplished a similar feat hence why I'm here. [03:20] what's ubuntu's version of growl called? and is it the same thing that rhythmbox uses? [03:21] rcconf: probably [03:21] aroman: re you still there? [03:21] How to burn a CD? Brasero keeps telling me I need to replace the blank disc, even when I do. [03:21] radhruin: by amd video do you mean ATI? [03:22] mickster: I'll give it a shot. Also interesting is that if I attempt to sudo service gdm start it says it's already running. I can stop and start it fine. [03:22] l3aked4uftw2: those were 2007-2009 i believe. since then 2 friends of mine have bought dell and both regret it [03:22] hypershock: No. ATI brand is defunct for the most part. This particular part is an AMD 880G [03:23] radhruin: since they merged, it's still ati technology.. and drivers [03:23] gnosis: odd , very, my only big regret is not having bought accidental damage so i can throw it like a freesbie lol my vostro has only 1 problem, hard disk whistles, when it breaks tech is gunna come and replace it, aslong as its not accidental damage (water spill and powercuts) im covered in any case :P sorry to hear about your experience, i hope im not the only one that got lucky [03:23] aroman: take a look at toshibas. i've had good luck with them. 0 problems installing ubuntu on the one i'm using now [03:23] gnosis: i think hes afk lol [03:23] gah [03:24] izinucs: Of course, but if the box says AMD I'm going to call it AMD :) [03:24] aroman : errr problems? [03:24] aroman: I'm running an old ibm T42 . no problems [03:24] l3aked4uftw2: all good now. I really like that model, but I think i ought to wait for it to be refreshed before I buy it. [03:24] seems like its gonna get an update any day now. [03:24] woo im back and everything appears to be workign again :) startup apps and vlc....hmm wonder what happened [03:24] for Vino server I need to login.. what VNC server do you recommend? [03:24] aroman: it got an update, sandy bridge processors, want me to link you one? [03:25] l3aked4uftw2: the ones with those silly swappable lids? [03:25] radhruin: ok, i've asked your question in #ubuntu+1, hopefully we'll get an answer [03:25] aroman: yup [03:25] izinucs: I was seriously considering ThinkPads, but they seem very overpriced [03:25] aroman : and with silly ownage sandy bridge lol [03:25] l3aked4uftw2: i would consider them but that lid thing is a freaking dealbreaker [03:25] what WERE they thinking!? [03:25] aroman: want me to check a vostro? [03:26] aroman: only problem is for businesses so you may have to beg a rep to sell you one (i didnt have to he just did idk how it is in the US) [03:26] haha [03:27] holy cow [03:27] http://premierconfigure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=&ci=E1334_2&customer_id=RC956904&~tgt=cfg&l=en&s=hied&cs=RC956904 [03:27] that looks *PERFECT* [03:27] aroman: doesnt let me see O_O [03:27] aroman: can you paste its specs?

[03:29] wierd things happening..could it be i havent rebooted after updates? [03:29] "mumbles" appears to be the ubuntu-growl [03:29] aroman : 3550 is 15'' http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=bqct51a&c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&model_id=vostro-3550 check this out and add 1 gb of ram (3gb is better for intel gma's) [03:29] aroman: what's your price range?

It makes groups of processes. The gui things get in a group together with very high priority so they are 'more important' together and the gui is smoother. [03:32] hi [03:32] aroman: this is a good one too http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=blct551&c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&model_id=latitude-e5520 , and this is the 3550 if you didnt see http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=bqct51a&c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&model_id=vostro-3550 on both add 1 gb ram (there is a 3gb option +40$) [03:32] l3aked4uftw2: looking at em now.

[03:36] Gunnar: yes, chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf [03:37] edbian: haha, that's exactly what I said when I first learned about chattr [03:37] jrib: :) neat [03:37] How do you install the Pd-Extended library on 10.10?

[04:01] Hello, Any Mint users around? I'm trying to work out which version of Ubuntu Mint 10 is based on in terms of installing apps & adding repos... I hope I phrased that correctly... [04:02] Auriga: Do you mean what version of Ubuntu it is based on? [04:02] !mintsupport | Auriga [04:02] Auriga: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:03] Auriga: you should ask in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:04] Auriga: it's based on 10.10, Linux 2.6.35, Gnome 2.32, Xorg 7.5. [04:04] edbian, Spotchat being the network to add? [04:04] Auriga: http://linuxmint.com/rel_julia_whatsnew.php [04:04] last heading (scroll to the bottom) [04:04] Auriga: irc.spotchat.org is the server. #linuxmint-help is the channel [04:05] edbian, Thank you.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [04:12] could some point me to solutions for choppy video in 10.10. I just upgraded from 10.4 and streaming video for example from nbc.com is very choppy and not synched wiht sound [04:12] bigdavjoker: using nvidia video? [04:13] I am facing a problem in XDMCP connection. I am using ubuntu 9.10. I am not able to connect XDMCP in LAN. [04:13] ayecee could you remind me how to check for which driver I hate to admit I forget what I have in this laptop [04:13] ok, does squid-cache resume broken downloads due to unreliable network connections when caching or does it start over from the beginning? [04:14] bigdavjoker: to be honest, I don't know offhand either. maybe lshw can do it? [04:15] ayecee, I think I found it with lspci ati radeon [04:15] bigdavjoker: okay, then not the problem I had :) [04:15] ayecee, yeah I saw references to that in posts I've also tried upgrading my kernnel [04:16] c33dog: that sounds kind of technical. I wonder if there's a squid channel or forum that might be able to better answer that. [04:16] How did "FloodBot" get it's name? Is it there solely to protect from channel flooding? [04:16] c33dog: ask them, this is ubuntu support [04:16] xiven: yes [04:16] !squid [04:16] squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [04:16] hmm. well, basic starting points there. [04:16] is there a non-caching proxy server available for ubuntu? [04:17] hello . i want rename some *.JPG to *.jpg . how would do [04:17] opera: move *.JPG *.jpg perhaps? try with a small batch in a seperate folder [04:17] mv not move [04:17] in terminal [04:18] opera: rename s/JPG/jpg/ *JPG [04:18] I try . [04:18] i'm on the squid channell too, but this one has much better participation and potentially more knowledgeable people, so I thought I'd ask. The rest of IRC seems dead compared to ubuntu. [04:18] c33dog: yes well ce la vie [04:18] mickster04: I'm afraid that one won't work, unless it's just one file :) [04:18] how can I change mysql variables in ubuntu [04:18] c'est la vie :P [04:19] ayecee: pardon me [04:19] ayecee: and what happens if u try with multiple files?

[04:21] ouyes: what? [04:22] whats the unity project page again? [04:22] what program(s) will do LDAP based admin and setup of users for login as well as a listserv? some listserv users may not have an OS login. some users may have email but no home dir and OS login [04:22] ah well, I think it'll be quicker to determine this empirically. thanks anyway. [04:22] gnosis, it is a tool for file transfer [04:22] gnosis, it is quick and simple [04:23] "ready when you are" problem? anybody have a solution [04:23] nvm got it [04:23] ouyes: were you responding to someone? === ministry[seannig is now known as w0lfsp1d3r [04:23] UbuntuN00b: a solution to what? [04:24] gnosis, no I just share with you, I find a useful tool [04:24] I forgot what I actually came in here to ask... [04:24] because anyone who downloads a random .tar off a .cn server is a bit dumb [04:24] i think the install of ubuntu netbook remix might be stuck at the "ready when you are" keyboard layout screen seems to be a common problem [04:24] xiven: then you should stop to think about it ... [04:24] If it was important enough, I'll remember later. [04:25] UbuntuN00b: ah. sorry, haven't seen that. [04:25] no worries it might have to do using "User" instead of "user" when setting up info [04:26] If im running a 32 bit version of ubuntu and wanna switch to 64 bit do i have to recompile the kernel or...? [04:27] sevith: yes. and switch to 64 bit libraries, and replace the 32 bit binaries with 64 bit binaries.. [04:27] sevith: if you have a separate /home partition just reinstall *but don't reformat /home* in the process [04:27] Id rather not reinstall...I just recompiled a newer kernel the other day but didnt realize i should have switched to 64 bits ! [04:27] Retard... [04:27] sevith: clean install [04:27] :( [04:27] I have a dual boot partitioned hard drive. One partition is running ubuntu, the other another distribution of linux. Is there any way I can install install another distribution from ubuntu onto that second partition? without using a livecd or any extra hardware? [04:28] inaety: yes ,you can. [04:28] inaety: insert cd, install other distro? [04:28] apporc: is there a guide or anything? [04:29] cool! [04:29] Ben64: without using a livecd [04:29] ubuntu decides it's ok to disable wireless [04:29] inaety: use the install cd for the distro -.- [04:29] stupid linux [04:29] inaety: you must have an iso image [04:29] not for the desktop. the year 2xxx is NOT the year of desktop linux. it never will be [04:29] lol [04:29] !ot | dogarrhea1 [04:29] dogarrhea1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I dont have any and I really just dont want to go buy some [04:29] i checked my hardware wireless switch [04:29] apporc: okay [04:29] dogarrhea1: this channel isn't for getting angry at things [04:29] usbkey? [04:30] and i checked my fn + f5 commands [04:30] make a bootable usbkey [04:30] no dice. the documentation is not useful either [04:30] inaety: you need to have install media of some type [04:30] How do I share my internet connection with Win XP via cat5? [04:30] inaety: like UbuntuN00b said.. use a usb key [04:30] ben64, when ubuntu just decides it's ok to make my wireless connection wired, and have no option of turning it on short of doing very very very low level kernel stuff [04:30] use sasu it will create the usbkey [04:30] why shouldnt' i get angry [04:30] all you need is the image [04:30] this is supposed to be a desktop distro.

[04:31] !details | dogarrhea1 [04:31] dogarrhea1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[04:31] ouyes: link to an english-language project page describing it [04:31] the network properties says "wired". i don't see a way to turn on wireless. [04:32] which wireless card [04:32] inaety: that's a classic "up a creek without a paddle" scenerio [04:32] Ben64, it's some sager internal wireless card [04:32] izinucs: no kidding. you forget how useful these things are [04:32] izinucs: thx [04:32] dogarrhea1: really going to need information to get help [04:32] like? [04:32] dogarrhea1: could you plug in the computer to the network and come here in linux? [04:32] does make xconfig or gconfig or menuconfig overwrite the existing config file thats in place or does it use this config file to highlight the options and suc [04:33] ugh. i have to put my laptop on the floor in some corner of another room to do this [04:33] sevith: it does overwrite the config, but that's not going to accomplish what you want [04:33] thanks ubuntu! your'e the best [04:33] dogarrhea1: be less angry [04:33] Ben64, WE have to manually modify the config file? :( [04:33] sevith: what? [04:34] Ben64, I dont know. [04:34] sevith: if i understand correctly, you're on 32 bit and you want 64 [04:34] and you think compiling the kernel will help [04:34] Ben64, yes [04:34] just install the 64 bit version from cd [04:34] Thats not educational its automated. [04:34] theres no other way [04:34] Its ok ill go read more and figure it out ;) [04:35] all your binaries are for 32 bit [04:35] gnosis, sorry dude, http://ipmsg.org/index.html.en [04:35] all your libraries are for 32 bit [04:35] sevith: it uses the existing config file in the source directory, but not the config file for the running system.

[04:35] Ben64, lol [04:35] the computers processor [04:36] RealOpt: look up the processor on wikipedia, maybe :) [04:36] RealOpt: sudo lshw will give you all kinds of hardware info [04:36] RealOpt: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:36] ah, i keep forgetting about lshw [04:36] kk ty ty [04:36] how can i make the gnome screensaver STOP loading at bootup..... AND make the xscreensaver the default? 10.04.2 amd/64 [04:37] ouyes: .cn domains don't have the best reputation for security, so direct linking a .tar on one comes off as a bit suspicious [04:38] rename 's/JPG/jpg/' *.JPG [04:38] it is right [04:38] thank [04:39] no..? [04:39] UbuntuFanatic: maybe..> [04:39] width: 64 bits <- does that mean its a 64bit machine? [04:39] RealOpt: yes [04:39] gnosis, have faith on you computer and have faith in yourself, no one can hurt you if you are strong enough, no virus can do any damage to you, if you build a strong system [04:39] so [04:39] how do i turn wireless back on [04:40] always thought this box was [04:40] Alex__, what have you done so far..? [04:40] alex__: how did you turn it off? [04:40] ^ [04:40] so to upgrade from 32 bit, just pop in the cd? [04:40] by pressing the power button to turn ubuntu on apparently [04:40] where was the options to turn off show sys volumes (like d drive, ntfs n etc.)? [04:40] ouyes: new attacks come out all the time, no system is 100% secure [04:40] gnosis, do you know where is .cn domains from? [04:40] Zelo, "mount"? [04:41] iwconfig says "no wireless extensions" [04:41] ouyes: yes, china [04:41] alex__, are you on a graphical interface? [04:41] !virus | gnosis [04:41] gnosis: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [04:41] RealOpt: where does it say width 64 bits? [04:41] yes ubuntufanatic [04:41] UbuntuFanatic, not to mount/dismount but to show/not show that they're mounted on the desktop (the icons rep the mounted disks) [04:41] Ben64, under CPU [04:42] RealOpt: what cpu do you have [04:42] not under compuer as im running 32bit :) [04:42] alex__, what do you see after clicking once on the Network Manager? (dropdown box) [04:42] (the applet^) [04:42] Ben64, a crappy one lol [04:42] zelo, oh, I don't recall. Sorry. [04:42] AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1250 [04:42] tok im petty sure its in gconf-editor [04:42] but i cant find it [04:43] ubuntufanatic, the network manager is the up down arrows? [04:43] mickster04: a lack of viruses on linux does not mean it's safe to download and run random files === RealOpt is now known as RealOpty [04:43] RealOpt: ok it does work on 64 [04:43] alex__, erm, yes. [04:43] or soemthing under system menu next to places and applciations? [04:43] it's the up and down arrows. [04:43] gnosis: no it's not just the lack, it'salso the security structure in linux is better [04:43] i see wired network auto eth0 [04:43] gnosis: but yeah, they could still be malicious [04:43] mickster04: better yes, but not invulnerable [04:43] alex__, anything else? [04:43] yeah someone could make a program that deletes everything in ~/ [04:44] disconnect, vpn connections [04:44] wouldn't be a virus really, but it'd suck [04:44] gnosis, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gipmsg/, here is the project, which you may think it were safe [04:44] Ben64: no, you would need sudo for that [04:44] alex__, no mention of wireless? [04:44] nope [04:44] mickster04: no you don't [04:44] so what advantages does 64bit have over 32? [04:44] ouyes: i believed you with the last link [04:44] RealOpty: twice the bits [04:44] Ben64: you cannot rm / without root access [04:44] mickster04: re-read what i said [04:44] anybody know how to show/hide on the desktop the mounted drives/disks? [04:44] ouyes: i was saying that the way you presented it initially was suspicious [04:44] there's this wireless switch on my computer that i've turned on and off a few times [04:44] RealOpty: no time apocolypse in 2038~ [04:45] and the fn+ f2 command that looks like it should toggle wireless [04:45] but those both do nothing [04:45] alex__: have you right-clicked on it, it might say enable wireless there? [04:45] Ben64, and how is that an advantage over 32? [04:45] alex__ [04:45] Is it a laptop? [04:45] yes [04:45] Ensure the toggle is on. [04:45] mickster04: malicious apps can do plenty of bad stuff even limited to a user account [04:45] i just said [04:46] gnosis, I still donot get why it is suspicous [04:46] it was on [04:46] RealOpty: more memory, 64bit instructions [04:46] there's this wireless switch on my computer that i've turned on and off a few times [04:46] No, you didn't. [04:46] Does anyone manage to install Ubuntu Studio 10.10 from USB ? [04:46] i'm not dumb ok? [04:46] I know..

[04:51] i pasted that from my paste board, i thought i was copying/pastging my question again [04:51] alex__: why are you so angry when you chose to install the OS and people here are spending their free-time helping you?

In the report, Sophos said that China servers are behind 44.8 percent of the worlds malware-infected sites. Thats more than the next three top countries serving junk combined: the United States, at 20.8 percent, Russia with 11.3 percent, and Ukraine, at 7.7 percent.

[04:55] none of which look like they are wireless [04:55] how do i get ubuntu to detect my 2nd HDD w/ win7 on it and get grub2 working with it? [04:55] that is all i see ouyes [04:55] does anyone know how to change weather or not mounted volumes will show on your desktop? [04:56] er only eth0 and lo [04:56] zelo, I only know via "places".

[04:59] alex__, be patient [04:59] i am reading it [04:59] something about a dcc command. [04:59] There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [04:59] sounds like an irc fail [04:59] I read it. [04:59] It's not an IRC Fail.

[05:07] :P [05:07] from -4000 and above is friday [05:08] worldwarcheese: if the netbook has an arm processor then I think you need the arm version of ubuntu or the netbook remix/unity [05:08] alex__, first make sure your hardware switch of wireless function is on, then paste the output of ifconfig [05:08] what are you looking for in my ifconfig [05:08] We need all of it. [05:09] Don't protest, we are trying to help you. We're not evil people. [05:09] Sorry if I am across as blunt, by the way. [05:09] Not intended. [05:09] izinucs: Hmm... I might, I'll double check [05:09] ouyes, UbuntuFanatic: I bet the wrong module is getting loaded and thats the whole problem, i bet it's not even in ifconfig [05:09] alex__: the ip configuration [05:09] is gnome3 functional under maverick ? [05:09] Ben64: possibly. [05:09] rwhittle, yeah, but not supported if I recall? [05:09] all i see are eth0 and lo [05:10] but let me take some time to mask my hardware addresses [05:10] has it matured sufficiently for non-supported use ?

[05:14] Floodbots are human slaves. They take turns. [05:14] ah. :D [05:14] UbuntuFanatic: there are multiple instances to compensate for lag and connection failures, and the rules for how many are opped up are... complicated. [05:14] alex__: do "sudo modprobe ath9k" and see if that changes the output from "ifconfig" at all [05:14] alex__, try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ar928x-detected-by-ubuntu-but-no-access-points-are-visible-694984/ [05:14] rww, ah, okay. [05:14] izinucs, I don't think my eee pc is an ARM machine and I am just using the direct download iso from ubuntu's netbook page [05:14] alex__: so the atheros module isn't loaded so try modprobe ath or ath9k [05:15] hrm [05:15] alex__, looks perfect for you. [05:15] I've actually used Ubuntu NBR on it before, but I recently installed an Intel SSD (40gb) [05:15] ifconfig is the same after i execute modprobe ath without a warning [05:15] modprobe ath9k gave a warning [05:15] alex__, try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ar928x-detected-by-ubuntu-but-no-access-points-are-visible-694984/ [05:15] worldwarcheese: which model? [05:15] ouyes: read his ifconfig output, only eth0 and lo [05:15] izinucs, 1001he [05:16] alex__: and is? [05:16] <[thor]> worldwarcheese: <-- rocking the 64GB Intel X25 SSD [05:16] <[thor]> as / [05:16] alex__: what warning [05:16] Braiam, just give it a try, before you have better advice [05:17] [thor] haha nice, did you have any issues when trying to install ubuntu afterwards? I don't think it's the problem but I'm just not sure anymore [05:17] worldwarcheese: is that a model bought outside of the US? [05:17] hrm ath9k actually says fatal [05:17] what does it say exactly [05:17] ^ [05:17] izinucs, nope. Got it at yer friendly local large compu-retail store [05:17] <[thor]> worldwarcheese: no problems at all, i even added a second ssd for /home/ [05:17] ouyes: i had one and it was a pain [05:17] ATAL: Error inserting ath9k (/lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [05:17] how can I get sysklogd to start on system bootup? [05:17] so none of this actually has to do with user error does it? [05:18] <[thor]> worldwarcheese: just don't defrag the drive.. ever.. for any reason. [05:18] alex__: unlikely [05:18] alex__, we don't actually know if this is the issue. [05:18] [thor] then I wonder what the problem could be. I've tried to make other NBR boot drives with the manager but I'm having problem with other usb's "format"ing (no idea why) [05:18] worldwarcheese: I got on asus's site to reference and didn't come up with anything.. but looks like [thor] says it's an Intel [05:18] [thor]: why? Just wondering. :p [05:18] <[thor]> izinucs: no no, i use an intel.. [05:18] um. so what's next [05:18] how deep am i going to go as a guinea pig giving free qa [05:18] alex__: why don't try a diferent driver [05:18] alex__: pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -n 20" [05:19] izinucs: it has an intel atom processor and a newly installed intel SSD (originally had hitachi 160 gb drive) [05:19] the fuck [05:19] Excuse me?

[05:20] ouyes, you've been saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over again [05:20] <[thor]> UbuntuFanatic: there is a long explanation; suffice to say that ssd have a different method for disk usage, and the drive attempts to spread usage over the entire flash memory in order to avoid wearing it out.. [05:20] izinucs, I'm kinda doing that now (I've been away from home all week) [05:20] alex__, did you check his link..? [05:20] [thor], ah, thanks for explaining. I'm a bit nosey. :P [05:20] yes [05:20] and it's not really helpful [05:20] how can I get sysklogd to start on system bootup? [05:20] alex__, it'd say it is. [05:21] alex__, you never did it step by step, you just need to make a fresh installation, you need to download the source code and make install , you will get it work [05:21] <[thor]> UbuntuFanatic: can't learn a darn thing without being nosey. [05:21] how do i make sudo mv -i (ls -R /* grep | all.lst) ~/Desktop ' work [05:21] [thor], haha. ..thanks? LOL. [05:21] izinucs, the only thing is the issues i'm getting seem to have to deal with the keyboard not the HD so i'm a little confused as to what to look for [05:21] I'm at school so many years of English, and finally got tired of this foreign language, I am a Chinese native speaker it is not wrong, you also can speak their mother tongue, the language should also open source open source community, inclusive, as the developer Under the Chinese should also learn, is not it [05:21] wujie, this is an English support channel.

[05:23] <[thor]> mmm yes [05:23] is it still GTK ? [05:23] alex__, there is no step before that [05:23] wrong. [05:23] lspci -v [05:24] doesn't show anything that remotely resembles my version of lspci -v [05:24] ... [05:24] all of my atheros*** are 9*** and above [05:24] how can I get sysklogd to start on system bootup? [05:24] You don't have to shout at us..? [05:24] We're trying to help.

Sorry.:P [05:25] What do you need? :) [05:25] alex__: sorry for ask, but you still have the link of lspci -v [05:25] izinucs, I just tried an install again to get the exact wording of the error. it says "Unknown keyword in configuration file" no it's nothing with the keyboard i guess [05:25] wondering about changing the window color scheme without running Gnome or KDE [05:25] the link of lspci -v? [05:25] alex__, the similarities. [05:25] do I change the GTK theme? [05:25] izinucs, then I get the "boot: " prompt again but it won't allow any entries [05:25] worldwarcheese: weird.. sorry I don't have any answers.... [05:25] supernaught, hello?

[05:26] o: [05:26] If you have the French to French, Russians in Russian, but this can also learn from each other's language, the integration is important [05:26] o well. it looks like this isn't working out [05:26] how do i bring back grub [05:26] alex__: oh thats kinda far... if you were closer i'd just go and fix it lol [05:26] i tared the system [05:26] Braiam, UbuntuFanatic Ben64 alex__ just give me a little time to talk to alex__ , and alex__ every time you talk to someone type his name first, thank you [05:27] usually in old grub its grub; find /boot/grub/stage1 [05:27] izinucs, haha no problem. at least now I can say it wasn't just me. but now the issue of trying to remake the boot drive is more important. if i can at least troubleshoot by trying on different usbs i'd feel better but none of my usbs seem to be accepting a boot file [05:27] ouyes, okay. [05:27] <[thor]> Obsidian1723: Settings > Administration > Services ? [05:27] supernaught, hello? What do you need? :) [05:27] i've spent close to 2 hours not having wireless on ubuntu.. i'm keeping track of a lot of metrics of usability so far [05:27] <[thor]> wujie: that is what #ubuntu-offtopic is for. This channel is for tech support in english language. [05:27] wondering about changing the window color scheme without running Gnome or KDE [05:27] do I change the GTK theme?

[05:28] nit-wit, i believe using grub2 [05:28] alex__, sudo apt-get install build-essential this is the first step [05:28] nit-wit, not legacy [05:28] done [05:28] ouyes done [05:28] nit-wit, because it has grub.cfg [05:28] izinucs: I think i'll be able to make one work, but the problem is i have an old OSX boot on there and for the life of my can't remember how to get it off (it says read-only) which makes me feel all kinds of foolish [05:28] hblalak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 this should help [05:28] UbuntuFanatic: Do you know where I should be asking/looking? I'm quite out of my element [05:28] 0 upgraded 0 installed yada yada yada ouyes [05:28] anything else? [05:29] is there a cli command that copy files and display the speed while doing so?

I really don't know. :S [05:29] ouyes done [05:29] upgrdman: you *could* using rsync or ssh to transfer to the local 127.0.0.1 [05:29] It depends on your theme, really.

[05:30] nit-wit, is it possible to install grub legacy [05:30] what am i checking out of svn now? [05:30] seems kind of sketchy that it wouldn't be in a repository [05:30] using a live cd that has older grub [05:31] geda [05:31] Any help on removing files from a previously made boot-USB that now says "read only" when I need to wipe it to make a fresh install flash drive? [05:31] alex__, you don't have to follow our instructions.. these are all just suggestions. :P [05:31] alex__, cd madwifi and svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 [05:31] worldwarcheese, you want to wipe it? [05:31] What drive is it? [05:32] hello all [05:32] hblalak, if you lok at the top of the link it tells you how, but personally I would not blame grub2 here it is different, but has it's benifits. [05:32] UbuntuFanatic: yes and it's a PNY 16gb usb flashdrive [05:32] worldwarcheese, cd into the directory, rm -rf * ?

[05:34] alex__, which steps are you in ? [05:34] alex__, type my name when talk to me [05:34] alex__, quick you will run out of battery [05:35] UbuntuFanatic: sorry if my command line work is a bit lacking but the USB says it's at /dev/sde and when I try to cd that I got as far as /dev$ [05:35] ouyes: maybe it's runout of battery [05:35] alex__, download the driver and untar it [05:35] alex__: what are you trying to do? [05:35] hang on. [05:35] how do i make sudo mv -i (ls -R /* grep | all.lst) ~/Desktop ' work? [05:36] alex__, get into the untar directory and run sudo make [05:36] worldwarcheese, sde would be a file, no. [05:36] ouyes, ok which thing is the install file [05:36] Erm, I'm not sure actually. D: [05:36] ouyes i'm in the untarred first level directory [05:36] pehden: what are you trying to do? [05:36] I don't use USBs much. [05:36] comenus, i'm trying to turn on wireless for the past 2 hours [05:36] alex__, sudo make [05:36] *gnosis [05:36] :P [05:36] comenus was a guy who got klined. [05:37] Not a good mistake to make.. [05:37] ouyes: sudo make? [05:37] ouyes fail [05:37] 20 errors or so [05:37] UbuntuFanatic: nope, I'm here. [05:37] gnosis trying to find a file on the harddrive and move it to the desktop [05:37] UbuntuFanatic: ? [05:37] alex__, what is the error? [05:37] C errors [05:37] Whoops, Comnesus, I could have sworn somebody got klined with your name/ similar. [05:37] UbuntuFanatic: I think you are confusing me with someone else. [05:37] imcompatible pointer s [05:37] Sorry. [05:38] And you got someone here telling a guy to use svn repos for wireless? I think you should worry about that. [05:38] UbuntuFanatic: that's okay and I can see it on my disk utility as /dev/sde so that's as far as I've gotten. do you at least know how to get past the whole "read only" part? I used to know, but have forgotten long ago [05:38] alex__, what is the file name you download [05:38] gnosis how do i make sudo mv -i (ls -R /* grep | all.lst) ~/Desktop ' work? [05:38] pehden: use find command http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm [05:38] adwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz [05:38] worldwarcheese, wouldn't it just be sudo? [05:38] alex__: what is the svn url he gave you? [05:38] madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz [05:38] or gksudo nautilus [05:38] and just do it from that [05:38] i got it from source forge [05:38] alex__, ok I have download it now [05:39] pehden: the /* move our root [05:39] UbuntuFanatic: haha yeah, if I remember the command for a wipe. I'm doing this all in-GUI ;_; [05:39] pehden: maybe ./* [05:39] D: [05:39] alex__: has the wireless ever worked in ubuntu? whats the output of "uname -a" [05:39] it has worked [05:40] ... [05:40] I know, it's shameful but I'm only slowly getting them and this has to be a rush job [05:40] even though the network manager said "disocnnected" [05:40] When did it stop? [05:40] today [05:40] After what action? [05:40] turning on computer [05:40] worldwarcheese, D: [05:40] did you do an update? and whats "uname -a" show? [05:40] putting in snow leopard cd [05:40] mmk, whatever. [05:40] trying to start a vm in virtualbox [05:40] brb [05:41] nvm. [05:41] pehden: try "sudo mv -i `find / -name foo` ~/Desktop" [05:41] Linux alex-laptop 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux [05:41] ouyes, i don't think i will follow your directions anymore. why does this madwifi stuff only ahve directions for up to 8.04 [05:41] according to the "ubuntu community documentation" [05:42] alex__, take a look at the file install [05:42] alex__: so after you used virtualbox it wouldn't work? have you tried removing virtualbox? [05:42] erm.. [05:42] UGHHH [05:42] i need to backup my images from virtualbox [05:42] i cannot get a stupid port to open on my router [05:42] alex__: the images will remain if you uninstall vbox.. [05:43] Awkward moment, Ben.. [05:43] :P [05:43] No grub menu, but an error message Gnome Power Manager in ubuntu 10.10 [05:43] UbuntuFanatic: ? [05:43] i am at terminal now need help [05:43] He didn't respond with anything defending Virtualbox, just "erm.." [05:43] :P [05:43] alex__: but I don't think that vbox is the issue with your wireless.. not sure what is.. [05:43] well i installed virtualbox today, it installs some kernel modules, it **could** be causing a conflict [05:44] just trying to cover all bases [05:44] Hello, I'm on 11.04 beta and I don't can't adjust time/date. I've chosen my right timezone but it didn't change [05:44] anyone got a min to help me out with grub, just did an advanced install [05:44] wtf my kb [05:44] Neddy, #ubuntu+1 [05:44] izinucs: alex__ ouyes Ben64 i'm sure that the driver is ok [05:44] alex__: can you access the wireless connection from inside the vm you were using? [05:44] UbuntuFanatic: sudo update-grub [05:44] not anymore. [05:45] izinucs: ? [05:45] Braiam: the module was giving an error on load, i'd say its not ok [05:45] Braiam, he just need to reinstall the driver [05:45] okay [05:45] I'm in [05:45] alex__: you even tried modprobe -r ath9k and then loaded it again [05:45] UbuntuFanatic: grub issue? what is the issue? [05:45] <[thor]> UbuntuN00b: sudo update-grub [05:45] izincus: I have no issue.. [05:45] hi everyone. I am reading the manual of grub2 .and there is one sentence i wonder its meaning. [05:45] <[thor]> izinucs: wrong nick [05:45] You are confusing me with UbuntuN00b. [05:45] Braiam: Apr 14 2011 21:17:38 ATAL: Error inserting ath9k (/lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [05:45] the sentence is :In traditional disk calls (called CHS mode), there is a geometry translation [05:45] problem, that is, the BIOS cannot access over 1024 cylinders, so the accessible [05:45] space is limited to at least 508 MB and to at most 8GB. [05:45] anyone got a min to help me out with grub, just did an advanced install === Senix is now known as Sinistar [05:46] UbuntuFanatic, don't know if this helps any but when I plug the flash drive in it is recocgnized by the Boot Disk Creator but not my filesystem... [05:46] UbuntuFanatic: sorry.. anther nick similar to yours [05:46] Ben64: ouyes i had one and it give me a headache [05:46] I only just saw UbuntuN00b's message, or I would have said sooner. :$ [05:46] worldwarcheese, that's really odd.. can't you just format it? [05:46] anyone can explain it. [05:46] No grub menu, but an error message Gnome Power Manager in ubuntu 10.10 [05:46] alex__, ok sorry so many time waste, [05:46] so i'm guessing no one really has a solid idea of what the problem is. or even how to diagnose it. is this safe to say? [05:46] and cannot access grub [05:46] Ben64: so reloading the module isn't a bad idea [05:47] braiam, it errored. [05:47] alex__, sure. Free country. :P [05:47] UbuntuFanatic: I tried using the Boot Disk Creator and it runs (making /dev/sde1 partition) but then when I try to open the partition to make the install drive nothing happens [05:47] alex__: i have a decent idea of the problem, not sure of the solution [05:47] alex__, go to the synaptic and search wireless [05:47] alex__: there's been lots of decent diagnostics done.. just nothing yet that has revealed the problem [05:47] worldwarcheese: That's really odd. :S [05:47] anybody have a minute to help me finish an advanced install (help me make sure grub is set up properly) dual boot 1 harddrive 1cf card [05:47] alex__, and make the wireless- tools and network-manager reinstall [05:48] alex__: what version of virtualbox and is your wifi adapter internal or external? [05:48] alex__, first complete removel [05:48] alex__, then install [05:48] what am i sudo apt-get removing? [05:48] exactly. before this casues me to disconnect from irc [05:48] UbuntuFanatic: you're telling me. I've done this a hundred times over and NEVER seen this problem before. [05:49] alex__, I tell you this , because I have come across the same problem as you are [05:49] worldwarcheese, is something different from before? [05:49] Just to see what happens I'm pro'lly going to go downstairs and try on someone's :shudder: Windows machine out of frustration [05:49] You said the W word. O: [05:49] alex__, no it wouldnt, go to synaptic [05:49] Kidding. :P [05:50] No grub menu, but an error message Gnome Power Manager in ubuntu 10.10 [05:50] pls help... [05:50] Windows has its place. Just not here. [05:50] synaptic == ubuntu software center right? [05:50] UbuntuFanatic: Only that these drives were used in an old SL install that when awry. Now I can't recocgnize, locate, format or remove files from them. It's insane [05:50] no [05:50] alex__, nononono. [05:50] alex__: what version of virtualbox and is your wifi adapter internal or external? [05:50] alex__, no here system> administrator [05:50] worldwarcheese, it is. I'm intrigued now. [05:50] gnosis: it's internal laptop one [05:51] ok i see a wireless-tools [05:51] UbuntuFanatic: however, I've already tried on other USB's and the same issues are coming up. In fact, every drive attatched to my machine is seen as an unrecocgnized drive that needs "format"ing before I can use through the USB startup disk creator or whatever it's called [05:51] alex__, system >administration>synaptic package manager [05:52] If I didn't need a working netbook by 7AM it'd be wicked interesting and I'd even show my roomates, but I have a flight to catch and this is the last thing I needed ;_; [05:52] alex__, search wireless and right click wireless-tools choose complete removel [05:52] so it's network-manager-pptp and wireless tools i need to reinstall ouyes? [05:52] alex__, so the network-manager-pptp [05:52] worldwarcheese: Sounds just like Window- [05:52] xD [05:52] and this won't cause me to disconnect form irc? [05:53] alex__: probably not [05:53] UbuntuFanatic: Haha too right. And I hate to do and try Windows to solve the problem but I'm running out of time >_< [05:53] Hello . . . is it possible to append a repository to the sources.list using cat? [05:53] alex__, not reinstall, first complete removl [05:53] do i now how to reboot like windows? [05:53] worldwarcheese, I'm the same. I refuse to use it unless I have to. :/ [05:53] and you never HAVE to. [05:53] alex__, then install [05:53] anyone know if this is trustworthy? http://stereopsis.com/flux/ [05:54] google shows several people reporting virtualbox killing wifi drivers. if it was working before vbox install, and not after, then vbox is likely the cause [05:54] lahwran: I used it in the past. Meh. I went back to bright screen. [05:54] Technicus: cat reads files [05:54] ouyes [05:54] it says i have to remove ubuntu desktop [05:54] I'll brb see what I can accomplish on a different OS right now. I'm honestly not expecting it to work, but maybe I'll be able to format them at least (who knows? I'll just trust in The Force for now). I'll keep you updated (if it works or not) [05:54] You're just trolling now. [05:54] alex__, you are kiding [05:54] ? [05:55] screenshot? [05:55] alex__, wait [05:55] alex__: i believe you [05:55] Technicus: "cat file1 >> file2" will append the contents of file1 to the end of file2 [05:55] I'm here for this reason as well: anyone know if this is trustworthy? http://stereopsis.com/flux/ [05:55] lahwran: I think there are different package name that does it -- but I can't remember it. [05:55] Sinistar, it is. [05:55] Technicus: you could cat the new source and redirect the output to the sources.list. Just make sure to use, ">>" and not, ">" otherwise you'll overwrite the file with *only* the new source. [05:55] Sinistar, I use it, Wakoopa shows a bunch of users.. [05:55] good result(s) [05:55] Sinistar: i use flux [05:55] alex__, ok select removel not complete removel [05:55] some sort of conflict that required removing the wireless tools would explain why wireless would suddenly stop working :) [05:56] alex__, screenshot. [05:56] doit. [05:56] alex__, removal [05:56] gnosis: rob_p: I tried it using sudo and permission was denied. [05:56] same thing ouyes [05:56] I really disbelieve anything would ask you to kill off gnome-desktop. [05:56] lahwran: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/redshiftgui-protects-your-eyes-when.html [05:56] UbuntuFanatic: it happens if you try to remove a package that is in base ubuntu [05:56] Sinistar: hard to honestly say if it works, placebo effect and all [05:56] perhaps, but it just adds up. [05:56] lahwran: I used it in the past so I can confirm it does change your monitor colors. [05:56] Technicus: paste command you used [05:57] ouyes, alex__: i can't help but think you're going the wrong way in trying to solve this problem [05:57] alex__, do nothing and left the synaptic [05:57] $ sudo cat >>/etc/apt/sources.list [05:57] bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [05:57] Technicus: no, you have to give it a file to read from [05:57] Technicus: "cat file1 >> file2" will append the contents of file1 to the end of file2 [05:57] Technicus: sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null [05:57] alex__, go into the synaptic again and make the two for removal [05:57] Technicus: WAIT DON"T DO THAT [05:57] alex__, and apply [05:58] Technicus: sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null [05:58] it still says remove ubuntu-desktop [05:58] where's a picture pasting site [05:58] ouyes: why do you want him to remove network managers, thats not the problem [05:58] alex__, trust me just a few steps ahead [05:58] tinypic.com? [05:58] lahwran: seriously [05:58] Technicus: are you just wanting to add one line to sources.list? [05:58] Comnenus: :s [05:58] hrm. another statistic: given wrong directions twice? [05:59] i don't even know. [05:59] alex__, you can just leave. [05:59] You don't have to be helped by us [05:59] Yep, but I am weening myself off of gui and want to do as much as possible from command. [05:59] You don't have to criticise us. [05:59] UbuntuFanatic: nobody is helping him, honestly [05:59] I know. [05:59] either do "sudo echo "blah" >> /etc/apt/sources.list" or "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [05:59] Technicus: ^ [05:59] alex__: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package [06:00] Technicus: System -> Administration -> Software Sources [06:00] Technicus: there are plenty of cli editors to use [06:00] you'd make a great employee ubuntufanatic. i can't help u. get out of myf ace [06:00] alex__, after apply the removal reload and search wireless again and find the two you just remove and mark them install and apply [06:00] make sure u apply for support [06:00] !u | alex__ [06:00] alex__: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet.

Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [06:00] alex__, are you there [06:00] alex__, I never said "get out of my face" [06:00] I said don't criticise us all.. [06:00] UbuntuFanatic: /ignore [06:00] gnosis: I don't want to open an editor if I don't have to. [06:00] Yeah, I'm going to, lahwran. [06:00] alex__, you can just leave [06:00] UbuntuFanatic: just quit helping him if he's still being rude [06:01] can you imagine if someone said that to you ? [06:01] Okay. [06:01] "you can just hang up the phone" [06:01] He's rude as shit. [06:01] but since u think im' trolling when it asks to remove ubuntu-desktop [06:01] hej guys! [06:01] Ugh, /trollable [06:01] D: [06:01] im facing a strange problem [06:01] UbuntuFanatic, ouyes, alex__: the problem is that ath9k is not able to load right now. it's not because the switch is off, or that the network manager isn't seeing a network or anything like that [06:01] alex__: we don't think you're trolling, we think you're rude to people spending their free time helping you fix something you broke [06:02] if u want to troll just say racist words like i hate niggers [06:02] i can't log in as root.. wrong password [06:02] gnosis, ubuntu fanatic does. [06:02] a3Deb, some people are more creative. :3 [06:02] i couldn't forget it [06:02] jazzhoo, root is disabled by default. [06:02] jazzhoo: check capslock? [06:02] !codeofconduct [06:02] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct . [06:02] UbuntuFanatic> You're just trolling now. [06:02] alex__, body follow my steps do nothing and left synaptic and go into synaptic again search wireless and mark the two for removal and apply reload then mark the two install apply [06:02] jazzhoo: you don't log in as root [06:02] ^ [06:02] You CAN do it [06:02] but it's dangerous. [06:02] sudo is all I need. [06:02] right [06:02] UbuntuFanatic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:02] how is it dangerous [06:02] Fast typer. :$ [06:03] yea but i can't even use a "sudo" [06:03] Technicus: try nano. if that's still not low-level enough for you do "echo "blah" >> /etc/apt/sources.list" [06:03] or "su" [06:03] !root | a3Deb [06:03] a3Deb: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

(; [06:03] alex__, give my solution a try, you will have nothing to lose [06:03] UbuntuFanatic, ouyes, alex__: the problem is that ath9k is not able to load right now. it's not because the switch is off, or that the network manager isn't seeing a network or anything like that [06:03] holy crap 0_0 [06:03] su -c is also safe [06:03] so does anyone recommend *against* redshift/f.lux? [06:03] jazzhoo: did you add yourself to wheel in /etc/group?

[07:49] as opposed to the Cube? [07:49] Khisanth: Yea but then what is the point? [07:49] calwig: Install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and compizconfig-settings-manager [07:49] i have already, which setting should i go to? [07:50] calwig: Restart compiz and ccsm, then look for Cube Reflection and Deformation plugin in Extra category [07:50] ^Phantom^: if you run netstat -ltpn do you see something with :5900 under the Local Address column? [07:50] calwig: and find it in the Deformation tab [07:50] soreau: personally I see no point in using compiz :) [07:50] Khisanth: You might as well see no point in using linux then :/ [07:51] uh there are plenty of other window manager [07:51] <^Phantom^> Yeah. [07:51] <^Phantom^> 0.0.0.0:5900 [07:51] soreau: i found cube reflection, but not deformation [07:51] useless eyecandy [07:52] Does Ubuntu have a version for Tablet PC...

[07:52] calwig: There is no way possible [07:52] calwig: Show a screenshot of the ccsm window where you see this [07:53] hey holla all guy [07:53] azeem: best bet would probably be the netbook version [07:53] I have fusion running [07:54] with all the settings (ccsm) [07:54] i think its there, i just dont find it [07:55] dose any one know of a good command line guide/tutorial? [07:55] are there any C compilers available for Ubuntu other than gcc and clang? Any other versions of gcc and clang available? [07:56] thegoodcushion: http://llvm.org/ [07:56] th^^: but that's just clang, isn't it? [07:56] oh, yes think so [07:56] not really familiar with it. then, i think: "no" [07:56] Am I in the wrong room? [07:57] any particular reason you don't want to use gcc? [07:57] not trying to say you should, just curious is all [07:58] DaPenguin: I'm trying to write a portable project so I'm keen to try it on different compilers [07:58] calwig: 1) Install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 2) Restart compiz and ccsm 3) Find Cube Reflection and Deformation plugin in Extra category of ccsm 4) Go to the Deformation tab and enable cylinder [07:58] my code compiles with gcc and clang but not tiny cc [07:58] ah, gotcha [07:58] soreau: in Extras?you mean [07:58] keidori: Depends on whether or not you need Ubuntu specific help. :) [07:59] calwig: No, I just told you *exactly* what to do. If you cant follow simple instructions.. [07:59] calwig: Ok, I made a mistake [07:59] calwig: 1) Install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 2) Restart compiz and ccsm 3) Find Cube Reflection and Deformation plugin in Effects category of ccsm 4) Go to the Deformation tab and enable cylinder [07:59] soreau: !"§$%& [07:59] :P [07:59] rob_p lol, well I was wondering if some one could point me in the direction of a good command line guide/tutorial [08:00] calwig: Use the Filter box in the upper left of ccsm to easily find any plugin [08:00] I work in a Educational Institution, I need Ubuntu Posters to display in our labs for Linux Promotion === matts_away is now known as matts [08:01] soreau: I only find Cube Reflection, but no Deformation plugin in Effects of ccsm [08:01] soreau: i did search on the filter box for deformation.

Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [08:02] soreau: You think i may have to update my ccsm? [08:02] soreau: ok one sec [08:02] soreau: u want the screen shot of ccsm? [08:02] keidori: There are so many on the 'Net.

If this is the case, ubuntu patched it. See if there is still a Deformation tab in this plugin [08:03] ^Phantom^: Cool, what did you have to do? [08:03] <^Phantom^> I'm sending this through VNC [08:04] soreau: uploadin [08:04] <^Phantom^> I installed X11vnc from the software center. [08:05] rob_p I've found a bit but they are way to old or are written by stephen hawkings, I was wondering if any one knew of a good one [08:05] keidori: If you force yourself to use the command line for simple, everyday tasks, you will get very comfortable with it in no time. Just learn all the common commands for things like navigating around the directory structure, listing files/directories, viewing/editing files, etc. You'll be a pro in no time! :) [08:05] soreau: http://imagebin.org/148320 [08:05] cool, thanks [08:06] hello, i'm looking for a way to delete all the text in all the files in a folder, and also to insert a word in all those files [08:06] calwig: That is not the shot I asked for [08:06] soreau: u want to see the Cube then? [08:06] ok [08:06] soreau: I only find Cube Reflection, but no Deformation plugin in Effects of ccsm <-- I want to see this Cube Reflection [08:07] saal7193: what extensions do the files have? [08:07] .txt? [08:07] calwig: Also, pastebin the output of dpkg -l|grep compiz to paste.ubuntu.com [08:07] bsodmike: Linux does not care too much about file extensions. That is more of a windows thing [08:07] keidori: Most of the common commands have been around for a *long* time so don't worry about how old the info may appear to be. If in doubt, pull the man page for the command in question (ie: man command) and you can read all about it. [08:07] well, that's true [08:08] cool [08:08] nuva noob here...what's the best program for joining converting .flv's ? [08:08] can anyone point me towards some good advice regarding SATA drives.

(without having to relogin) [08:10] i was hoping there was a way to do this with all the files in a folder regardless of file extensions [08:10] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594363/ [08:11] rod: Sure. Use screen. man screen for more info. [08:11] but i will settle for a way to do this with certain extension at a time [08:11] np thewall [08:11] awesome, i'll try to figure it out [08:11] The best way is to have a try [08:12] calwig: What version of ubuntu are you using?? [08:13] rod: You may have to sudo apt-get install screen if you don't aready have it installed. I use screen with my IRC client remotely, so that I can attach/detach at will, without having to kill my IRC session every time. [08:13] actually i think my ubuntu came with screen [08:14] or, use byobu, which is like tabbed screen === tim__ is now known as timblechmann [08:14] rod: It's pretty slick once you get used to it. === timblechmann is now known as tim [08:15] calwig: compiz 0.7.x is pretty old now, you must be using a pretty old version of ubuntu [08:15] soreau: hardy [08:15] calwig: You need at least compiz 0.8.x for cube reflection and deformation plugin [08:15] That is way old [08:15] isnt everything now a days [08:15] ! hardy | calwig [08:15] calwig: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

Anyway, have fun and good luck! [08:16] man i cant upgrade now i have so much running [08:16] Still trying to figure it out [08:16] but i will consider it :) [08:16] calwig: So next month, that is it. No more hardy support at all [08:16] Its done [08:16] calwig: You really should consider upgrading to a newer version of ubuntu === gary is now known as Gary [08:16] anyone got a hint for an unrecognised SATA drive in ubuntu..

Just make a startup application for it. [08:27] Starminn update means upgrade to 4.0 [08:27] !ff4 | abhinav_singh [08:27] abhinav_singh: 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 [08:27] Follow the above instructions and all should be fine. :) [08:28] Starminn: A startup application? I think those run after login, not before? [08:29] Luigi: Ah, yes, good point. You're right I believe. [08:29] yup Starminn :) [08:29] abhinav_singh: It worked?

For creating image on USB for ubuntu installtion it will NOT affect HDD data but USB data. When installing Ubuntu through USB you will have to consider where to install and accordingly format/partition. [09:12] sre-su: that was very confusing. [09:12] Starminn, because half the time, if i dont type sudo nautilus, i cant do anything with the files [09:12] my HDD is connected with USB and im trying to install it from thee USB-HDD :p [09:12] SarcasMo: What are you trying to do? [09:13] saal7193: What do you mean? What is your desired outcome, what do you do, and what happens instead? [09:13] i want to be sure i dont lose any data [09:13] USB_HDD?

So go into Win7 and create a partition for Ubuntu. Create one for the stuff you'll be using and one for "page file" memory (i.e. "swap" as it is called in Linux) [09:15] why dont u try install ubuntu inside win7 [09:15] go into W7 and create a partition [09:15] how? [09:15] SkUlleSS: Because nearly nobody in here can give support on that since it's so odd. [09:16] SarcasMo, WUBI [09:16] SarcasMo: Just use the default Windows tool to adjust your hard drive partitions [09:16] http://www.nirmaltv.com/2009/05/12/how-to-resize-disk-partition-in-windows-7/ [09:16] ill try thx alot :p [09:16] Starminn, windows wont read or format ext type partitons [09:17] nit-wit: He can format it on install from the LiveCD. He's just making unallocated space. [09:17] well, he can repartition directly with gparted on the livecd, then [09:17] try easus to create partition [09:17] Starminn, I saw the link cool [09:18] SarcasMo: So just make a bunch of unallocated space (blank space) for Ubuntu. Let's say 250GB if you want to split it right down the middle. OR however large you wish. [09:18] Lorthirk: Win7 can be testy, I've heard. I'm doing the recommended method from those who have done this already. [09:18] Starminn, when i type sudo nautilus it only lasts for a while and after that i cant modify the files again and i have to type sudo nautilus again [09:18] i dont want Ubuntu on my external HDD [09:18] just run wubi inside win7 [09:18] i want it on my laptop :p [09:19] i think the rest will be easy [09:19] saal7193: You should be using "gksudo nautilus" [09:19] On http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook isn't it supposed to be '...powerful enough to create and edit images too' in the very right item of the feature box? [09:19] how do i make firefox tabs as icons? [09:19] SarcasMo: Oh, what's your laptop got on it? [09:19] hi all, how do i view a list of the channels i can connect to?, im using using pidgin on ubunut.. [09:19] Windows 7 [09:19] u mean free space? [09:19] SarcasMo: So do the same thing for your laptop. [09:19] Starminn, oh i see thanks [09:19] so SarcasMo, you have two ways: wubi or standard dual boot. [09:19] i have atleast 100Gb free space on my D drive [09:20] i want standard dual boot [09:20] (and still don't get why you mentioned your external hdd in the first place :D [09:20] SarcasMo: SO I'd say take 50GB for Ubuntu and leave the other 50 for Windows in case you use both often and want to leave room for Windows. [09:20] oke [09:20] now i have to find the resize tool [09:20] moment [09:20] I am getting an error while using apt command [09:21] Can someone help everytimr i install something i get this errorErrors were encountered while processing: crossplatformui [09:21] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [09:21] SarcasMo: are you writing from the laptop you wnat to install ubuntu in to? [09:21] SarcasMo: So, go into the Disk Management utility, following the link I gave, and make 50GB of unallocated (i.e. "blank" space) [09:21] how do i make firefox tabs as icons? [09:21] !gksudo > saal7193 [09:21] saal7193, please see my private message [09:21] ljsoftnet: Please give more details?

[09:23] saal7193: Sure thing. [09:24] oscarhou: Never doe it myself, but I'd say just make a symlink to the /home partition. Give me a moment and I'll find you something. [09:24] <_Neytiri_> any ideas why i am getting this error when i try to enable a mod on apache, ERROR: Module vhost_alias.load does not exist! it does exist i used tab completion so i know its spelled right [09:24] !separatehome | oscarhou [09:24] oscarhou: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [09:24] Starminn: do i have to format D? [09:24] SarcasMo: That depends. What is "D:\"? [09:24] Starminn: Thanks I'll check that link out :D [09:25] oscarhou: :) I've been meaning to do it but too lazy. When I do get around to it, that's what I'm going to use. ;) [09:25] Starminn: hehe its emty laptop space :p [09:25] Starminn: around 117 Gb [09:25] Hello!

Well then you've already got blank space from the sounds of it. That is correct? So you could install Ubuntu to that, as it is totally empty? [09:28] totally empty, windows can use it though [09:30] I can install the Ubuntu.iso file on D: \ just like that? [09:30] SarcasMo: Okay. You are messaging us from a computer other than the laptop? [09:31] no [09:31] i only have this laptop [09:31] how do i make firefox tabs changed as icons? you know like talika or dockbarx but inside firefox [09:31] SarcasMo: Ah, fair enough. That's alright. So have you burned a CD or USB to use? [09:32] i have no cd-drive on this laptop [09:32] and the usb is my e-HDD [09:32] ljsoftnet: Do you have a picture you could show us? [09:32] i dont want to lose the data on my e-HDD [09:32] Gentlemen, can anybody help with some power management issues? [09:32] SarcasMo: Well you won't be using your external HDD so it doesn't matter. Besides, have you no other USB ports? You only need one. And again, why do you need the e-HDD plugged in all the time? :) [09:33] i'm back? [09:33] oke uplugged it now :p [09:33] SarcasMo: Alright, so you will be using Ubuntu desktop edition? [09:33] i have 2 usb ports, no cd-drive, and no USB sticks beside my e-HDD [09:34] yes [09:34] hi all [09:34] Oh, you don't have any USB sticks?

[09:36] polish [09:36] Starminn: do i have to use my e-HDD for this? i dont have any other USB devices [09:36] yes [09:36] SarcasMo: It needs the burned .iso and only it on it, so if you have data on the e-HDD I'd advise against that. [09:37] dzięki:) [09:37] And I'm not sure if computers can even boot from full-fledged HDDs [09:37] so its impossible without erasing the e-HDD [09:37] SarcasMo: What needs to be done to install it is your computer must boot from a LiveCD or LiveUSB, which means that you can actually run it without any hard drive. [09:38] But without any suitable external media (USB or CD) you can't do it. Can't even use WUBI as far as I know.

Im running ubuntu server 10.10 and if I use bash I cant type lower case e in console. Only way around was changing from bash to bin/sh.. but in sh I cant use the lowercase e in programs like lftp. [09:51] Sverd: what do you get instead of an e ? [09:51] erUSUL: nothing, just a error message from putty.. like im trying to paste a blank cliboard [09:51] it just plings :) [09:51] ubuntu 10.10 unable to create ad-hoc wifi any ideeas how to find the problem or the problem it self ? [09:52] Sverd: so this happens on putty. not in a xterminal nor the console tty's. looks like a putty conffiguration issue [09:52] erUSUL: its the same when im logged on to the server itself [09:53] Sverd: via alt + fn VT's = [09:53] ? [09:53] erUSUL: but I changed my used to use zsh, and I can use e now (as you can see), but lftp wont let me type it [09:53] Does anyone know why ubuntu freezes while booting from a live USB? [09:54] The USB works fine on all PCs except the netbook I'm trying to test it on [09:54] erUSUL: alt + fn as in function? [09:55] Sverd: yes [09:57] ubuntu presently shows white text and black background on every icon in the main menu. But, Vidala and Skype, among other applications, show white text and white background, thus, not showing any text at all. Is there any way I can change the font color? [09:58] change the theme of skype [09:58] hiho [09:59] erUSUL: you lost me, sorry [09:59] it seems that on one pc with latest ubuntu all our init services are started in parallel but because our dhcp needs a bit longer than normal, we boot into gdm without proper nis stuff [09:59] Sverd: you may want to check "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and see if everythng is ok [10:00] can i somehow set that it should start nothing in parallel? boot time really does not matter [10:00] At the end, will ubuntu 11.04 use unity or Gnome? [10:00] JPJ: unity -- further questions in #ubuntu+1 [10:01] Russehl-Athletic: maybe asking in #upstart ? [10:01] Starminn can i make the app tabs, be like ordinary tabs? [10:01] erUSUL: ive done it several times, checked every setting and compared to another server it works on, still no go.. it seems like the letter e in lowercase is somehow changed to do a different function.. I can not figure out where and what [10:02] any1 can help me on how to configure my laptop speaker coz ders no sound however on my headset sounds out good. thanks. pls help now only I install julinux8. [10:02] Thanks, I heard rumors that unity was dropped. Though, this new interface doesn't convince me [10:02] ljsoftnet: What? Your descriptions are insanely vague.

I'm not sure. :( [10:03] erUSUL: indeed [10:03] ljsoftnet: If you mean turn them back to normal just right-click on the tab and hit "Unpin App Tab" [10:03] Sverd: if all terminal apps failed the same way ... [10:03] ubuntu 10.10 unable to create ad-hoc wifi any ideeas how to find the problem ?

[10:06] cristi, what exactly is the problem [10:06] I had changed GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5 in /etc/default/grub [10:06] I had changed GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5 in /etc/default/grub.cfg [10:06] Starminn: do not support any derivarive here afaik [10:07] then did update-grub, but still no difference [10:07] erUSL: I didn't think so. Do you know where JULinux is supported? ricman is on JULinux and I think we should at least be able to redirect him porperly. ;) [10:07] harpal: coomment out the vars that have HIDDEN in /etc/default/grub [10:07] harpal: then run update-grub [10:07] cristi, you are using lan and want to create an adhoc, if gnome is your interface, click on create new wirless network, if that fails to do what you want, right click network manager and edit connections [10:08] erUSL: Nevermind I think I found it.

The only channel I can find that claims to support JULinux is completely empty. So, just for future reference, there may not be an IRC support channel for it. (after 5 minutes of Googling) [10:12] y can conect to other lan or create the lan ( settings in manager ) but wen y try to connect to myself it say connection tyme out in the logs [10:13] Starminn: thnaks for the info [10:13] ricman: you have problem in configuration, check alsamix or similar unmute all chanel [10:15] to add aufs support to the .36 or .37 kernel, do i need to re-compile it?

[12:24] rabten, please be patient, I'm checking ubuntuforums [12:24] !upgrade [12:24] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:24] I can't compile nc [12:24] bazhang: looks like Realtek's RTL8169S-32 chipset [12:24] i dont know whether my system is up to task to handle version 10 [12:24] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [12:25] CooKieMonster_: does that answer you question?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [12:25] azm: you need to generate a Makefile first, read the README file or INSTALL file in the source directory [12:25] !repeat | bouma: [12:25] bouma:: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [12:25] I read it [12:26] it should be classical ./configure make make install [12:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112 rabten here may be a fix [12:26] bouma: Please help keep this channel ontopic, and not ask silly questions. [12:26] ah sorry my bad [12:26] I did not check the configure output [12:27] bazhang: thank you. i will check it out [12:27] configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.8) [12:27] bazhang: i have been searching the forum for days now. hopefully this one will help [12:27] bouma: you can contribute a translation, best to start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations [12:27] how can i insert a word in the beginning of all the files in a folder? [12:28] can anyone tell me if there is a standard way of testing the integrity of the boot system, i supose grub and possibly the kernel image. i dont really under stand whats going on besides that with the ubuntu boot system [12:28] bouma: intel TXT technology can do that for you [12:28] saal7193: you might try out #perl [12:29] acicula: oh come on, surely you jest ! [12:29] acicula: i mean from a boot cd. similar to using debsums on the package files [12:29] mentaldevils, thanks [12:29] bouma: oh you mean you want to verify the integrity of the boot cd? [12:29] hi [12:29] hey dustin [12:30] how do i get all my codex install? [12:30] dustin, ubuntu-restricted-extras package [12:30] mentaldevils, bazhang , hey yall :) [12:30] acicula: its a serious question, and something i'd like to learn how to do in the spirit of arthur dejong's debsums guide, whom i gave feed back recently as his script had become out of date as debsum's moved beyond md5's .. anyway [12:31] please do the the bot for me about subject, dont know how [12:31] dustin, what subject [12:32] ubuntu-restricted-extras package" [12:32] bouma: im sorry that i dont understand your question, you want to verify the installed files are still correct? [12:32] acicula: no not the boot cd, a system partition, from the known environment of a boot cd [12:32] !bot | dustin [12:32] dustin: Hi!

(very) new Linux user here. Are all terminal windows logged somewhere by default; if so then where? If not then how do I do that? [12:32] there is no glib-2.0 in repos [12:32] how do you comand line update system? [12:33] dustin, sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade [12:33] dustin: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:33] dustin: sudo apt-get update === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [12:34] lol draw yall "" .... lmaf thanbks [12:34] bazhang: now there is no 'wireless' listed in GNOME [12:34] acicula: arthur describes how to use debsums to check the integrity of each file in each package on a deb based system; im wondering how to also check the grub chain integrity and potentially also if there is a means of checking the kernel images and any other boot files [12:34] dustin: if you want to upgrade the distribution - sudo apt-get upgrade -d [12:34] erUSUL clearly won that round [12:34] bazhang: on the network manager toolbar [12:34] im at 10.10 [12:35] hi all; i want to capture video from the analog video card(it's name is SAA7134) but i don't know how to access it through VLC; can someone help me? [12:35] bazhang: just the current wired connection [12:35] 10.10 and64 [12:35] and P4ND3Y needs to go and make sure they have been actually upgrading their system and not just updating the package cache [12:35] P4ND3Y, thats not correct [12:35] Neo_, you do what ? [12:35] bouma: well the kernel images are part of a package so also verified by debsum. [12:36] rabten, is there a switch for wireless on the computer, and/or are you dualbooting [12:36] Hello. (very) new Linux user here. Are all terminal windows logged somewhere by default; if so then where? If not then how do I do that? [12:36] bazhang: no switch on computer for wireless. i am dual booting yes [12:36] dustin, i want to capture video but i don't know the name of the peripheral (es: /dev/video0) [12:37] Blarumyrran, how do you mean "logged"? do you mean a history? [12:37] acicula: ah, thanks. good point. and would this also extend to grub, i mean the various stages? cause they're not all simply files; it would be nice if deb's themselves had a built in integrity verifying system, and if this could extend to things like the stages of grub [12:37] rabten, what about sudo ifup wlan0 [12:37] ortsvorsteher, yes [12:37] bouma: but none of the grub files are [12:37] help [12:37] or the boat SINK [12:37] configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.8) [12:37] azm, with what [12:37] bazhang, I cant find it in repos [12:37] Blarumyrran, you have a history in your home directory per default. .bash_history [12:38] azm, explain clearly what you are trying to compile [12:38] bazhang, clearly I'm trying to compile nc. Please do not direct me to synaptic. [12:38] acicula: right. are there any utils to check the grub boot chain? eg i dont believe that chkrootkit or rkhunter does this. it might be nice to make it part of grub itself. i mean without necessarily just reinstalling grub, as a means of 'verifying its integrity' [12:38] mc* bazhang [12:38] bouma: well deb can not track files that are created by programs themselves, unless explicitly added by the deb maintainer, and even then its still a guess as what the file will contain [12:38] midnight commander [12:39] azm, why do you need to compile that [12:39] bazhang, I want to make packages and be famous with my PPA [12:39] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/t96DxHtB [12:39] azm, thats not a clear answer [12:39] bouma: well some of the grub files are copied from /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/ [12:39] bazhang, the version in repos is OLD [12:40] acicula: perhaps something like a fsa could be part of the deb contents to describe the possible state of a daughter file [12:40] rabten, its wlan0 not wanl0 [12:40] Hi, I'm setting up postfix , just to allow mails from the localhost (web applications). My idea was to block remote access to port 25. Will this work or give problems with other email hosts? [12:40] bouma: but those files dont seem to be the same [12:40] bazhang, 4.7.0.6 versus 4.7.5.2 [12:40] now please help me [12:41] azm, whats the new features that you need [12:41] bazhang, it's just the feel of new version. I'm sorry [12:41] ortsvorsteher, that only lists the commands; i'd want outputs too [12:41] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/KPaE0UKg [12:42] azm, and you have build-essential installed? [12:42] bouma: at best you can track the files so you can remove them safely for uninstall, which i would guess the grub2 deb will already do. But it wont be able to do integrity checks for you since appearantly the files change [12:42] bazhang, yep [12:42] acicula: or at least for me the stage files in /boot/grub are not the same as the one in /usr/share/grub/x86 [12:42] bazhang, http://pastie.org/1797106 [12:42] bouma: see above [12:43] bazhang, and it says: configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.8) [12:43] Blarumyrran, if you want all commands and the output, you can start a script command and after you can read your logfile. [12:43] www.baidu.com [12:43] bouma: so if you want to track the integrity of such files you'll need to use something like tripwire or a more modern equivalent [12:43] ping 192.168.0.1 [12:43] or use TXT, which pricely does what you want, verify your boot process [12:43] liuzhongxiao, wrong channel === cuzoka is now known as watcher [12:44] bu hao yishi kan bu dong [12:44] liuzhongxiao, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [12:44] 不好意思 看不懂 [12:44] acicula: yeah, it would be nice if the deb format included something like, ranges with check sums for each range, so that files that are understood to change can change but the portions which should not can still be verifed. for example. or even to describe a scheme so that the file can have its integrity checked no matter how it has changed. ie to guard against 'buffer overflowed fields' or insertion of binary data etc [12:45] !cn | liuzhongxiao [12:45] liuzhongxiao: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [12:45] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/KPaE0UKg [12:45] bazhang, nothing ? [12:45] http://www.bsod.ro/ geek stuff :D [12:45] zlobozel, dont paste here [12:45] 大家好呀！能说点中文不 [12:45] bouma: thats how it works now, all files that are installed and static you can verify using debsum? [12:45] 我刚刚来咯 [12:46] liuzhongxiao, /join #ubuntu-cn ITs english here [12:46] acicula: im just suggesting it would be nice if a standard part of the deb/apt system was self integrity attestation, and yeah im against tpm, and realise there are limits as to what can be done without hardware and that software can be fooled within a vm. but its an idea [12:46] which is the best xampp or lampp? [12:47] userVal, xampp is not supported here, so lamp [12:47] hi, how can i send files via ftp from my localhost to my localhost? [12:47] !xampp > userVal [12:47] userVal, please see my private message [12:47] acicula: oh ok, well debsums is quite a bit better than what other platforms have. thanks for the clarification as to the current workings of apt. [12:47] hey, my ubuntu 8.04 displays my usb sound card but doesn't play any sound (it did but just once). the sound card works fine on another computer. how could i troubleshoot this problem? [12:47] oh my，god [12:48] bouma: you could hash portions of binaries, but validating binaries is a hard problem [12:48] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/KPaE0UKg [12:48] normal sound over my internal sound card works too [12:48] bouma: also you can have a TPM just for TXT booting, without all the other nonsense that comes with it [12:48] bazhang: its like lampp apache,mysgql etc [12:48] acicula: i imagine it is a difficult problem. [12:48] userVal, yes [12:48] rabten, I've seen it [12:48] Yoo ! [12:49] bazhang, it was libglib2.0-dev [12:49] bazhang: nothing comes up when i run iwconfig no either, no wireless detected [12:49] acicula: right. is there an opensource project working on a booting txt for linux that you know of ? [12:49] bazhang: know any diferrencess about this two [12:50] bazhang: maybe i should remove that blacklist rt2500usb that i just created? [12:50] userVal, this is not really the place to discuss that [12:50] userVal, lamp is supported here if you need more info please ask [12:50] bazhang: wow! sorry [12:50] Is it possible to change from Gnome to Fluxbox ? [12:50] rabten, right, that usb wireless device is problematic at best [12:51] Kodec, sure [12:51] By Dragon , Huh ? [12:51] Kodec, apt-cache search flux for some packages [12:51] bazhang: it was working fine before the upgrade to 10.04 [12:51] Kodec: sure, install fluxbox and then select it at the login screen [12:51] Yeah I got I got , Thanks dudu [12:51] bazhang: and it works fine in win [12:51] rabten, yes, and some have gotten it working by blacklisting it and using the rt2570sta [12:52] bazhang: i dont have rt2570sta [12:52] Ylmf os [12:52] bouma: its supported from what i understand yeah, it does require you to have the right hardware (and processor support) [12:52] bazhang: how can i get that? [12:52] linux [12:53] rabten, check the package manager for linux-backports-modules appropriate to your kernel [12:53] liuzhongxiao, did you have an ubuntu support question? [12:53] liuzhongxiao, ylmfos is NOT supported here === naseby is now known as smitten [12:54] :( [12:54] my ubuntu is breaking apart [12:54] its extracting [12:54] is there a way to specifiy a version when doing apt-get install, i want apache 2.2.2 [12:54] mohammad, need more info than that === mohammad is now known as Guest60593 [12:54] i removed my python [12:55] Guest60593, all on one line, its impossible to follow [12:55] and suddenly i saw some broken packages in broken filter of synaptic [12:55] Juo: Yes, you can specify version, but you'd usually want the latest available in your repositories (because those are usually the ones with the latest security updates). Why do you want that version? [12:55] Can you speak Chinese? [12:55] Guest60593: well you need python... [12:55] Guest60593: yeah you should not remove python [12:55] ok. i cannot fix the broken packages. they get several errors! [12:55] liuzhongxiao, not here as I've said many times to you [12:56] so how can i fix them all? [12:56] jrib: I want to use apache-upload-progress-module and it doesnt support anything after 2.2.2 as they removed something and it throws ap_is_HTTP_VALID_RESPONSE [12:56] I tried this fix https://github.com/julthomas/apache-upload-progress-module/commit/ee7679fab20caa31a3ae94d8b66f144446a3a9f0 [12:56] but it doesnt seem to work [12:56] bazhang: what should i type in the package manager search field to find linux-backport-modules to support lucid lynx? [12:57] is there any way out? [12:57] Juo: the solution is definitely not to run a version of apache missing security patches [12:57] sorry ,i am a chinese .i am not good at english [12:57] Hello... I can't connect to a VPN, need help to crack this. Logs are: http://pastebin.com/YhWxDdgP [12:57] bazhang: : *appropirate to lucid lynx i mean [12:57] can i fix this mess with python? === matts_away is now known as matts [12:57] liuzhongxiao, ylmfos is not supported here. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:57] Guest60593: why did you even remove it? [12:58] i do not know what you said [12:58] jrib: i clicked on synaptic, searched for python and right click on python, mark for removal [12:58] jrib: and apply [12:58] Guest60593: he asked WHY, not HOW [12:58] Guest60593: this is "how" you removed it. I asked "why" you removed it [12:58] i do not know [12:58] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/rqMpv5Re [12:59] jrib: this for a in house machine, its not accessible via WAN so i dont care much about the patches [12:59] jrib: yes :D xqz me [12:59] jrib: my rhythmbox had a problem with pygtk [12:59] jrib: and i tried installing python gtk but it had some problems with python [13:00] jrib: so i decided to remove python and install it again [13:00] 是的，你需要什么？ [13:00] Juo: apt-cache policy PACKAGE will show you available versions in your repositories. You can install a specific version with « apt-get install PACKAGE=version ». You probably don't have 2.2.2 available anyway [13:00] bazhang: in package manager i found... linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic... shall i isntall that then? [13:00] dustin, english only here [13:00] rabten, yes [13:00] sweet [13:00] ok thanks jrib im going to checkout the forks on github and see if anyone has a patch that works :P [13:01] jrib: no idea? :( [13:01] bazhang: and then reboot? [13:01] Guest60593: what problems with python did python gtk have? [13:02] jrib: i dont remember [13:02] jrib: the big problem here is python itself [13:02] jrib: which i cannot install it again [13:02] Guest60593: that's weird... [13:03] Guest60593: what happens when you try to install it now...? [13:03] jrib: i dont need pygtk if python is back [13:03] first i got 7 broken packages [13:03] Guest60593: this is not why I am asking the questions. I'm trying to understand the situation you were in *before* you decided to remove python [13:03] and when i want to insall those packages it gives my bunch on errors [13:03] jrib: you where right, I found a much more up to date version, thanks for the help anyway, ive got it working :D :D [13:03] Guest60593: please just pastebin what happens when you try to install python [13:04] bazhang, this was to talk to that asia brother , which i can to notic this is where the most help is coming from so i was being nice [13:04] Juo: cool :D [13:04] jrib: alright [13:04] hi, I would like to install this: https://launchpad.net/~infra-it.ru/+archive/updates/+buildjob/2444977 ... how can I do it... currently I have maverick ... and I suppose I can get the 0.8 version of libpam-ldapd with this update ... but no idea how to update ? [13:05] morning all. I have a server where top says over 90% of memory is being used, but shows no processes that are using memory. How can I figure out what's going on and clean that up? [13:05] DaveIngram: Can you pastebin the output of free -m ? [13:05] but package libpam-ldapd in natty is only: Package: libpam-ldapd (0.7.13) [universe] [13:05] but there is no newer versions of natty [13:06] bazhang: i installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic, rebooted, but still no detection of wireless [13:07] rabten, and you blacklisted the appropriate module and modprobed the correct one as in that link now? [13:07] is there any other ubuntu developer IRC channel ? [13:07] evelyette: start in #ubuntu+1 === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [13:08] bazhang: the rt2570usb remains blacklisted. how do i modprobed the linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic ? [13:08] jrib: http://pastebin.com/yGgQFE4B [13:08] jrib: here is stuff which im able to copy [13:08] rabten, by following the ubuntuforums link I sent you? [13:08] Guest60593: why can't you copy everything including command ? [13:08] jrib: im trying to make a screenshot out of those i cannot [13:08] jrib: um! === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [13:09] jrib: [13:09] bazhang: sorry, will go back and have a look [13:09] Pici: http://pastebin.com/sR3qhkwu [13:09] jrib: cuz i use synaptic and it doesn't let me to copy anything [13:09] Guest60593: use a terminal: sudo apt-get install python [13:11] DaveIngram: Well, according to that output, you only have only 1.6 GB being used, the rest of the 'used' ram is in your cache. [13:11] jrib:apt-get recommends to use "apt-get -f install" [13:11] ryzom still popular amongst yall? [13:11] Guest60593: please just pastebin command and full output, then we can decide what to do [13:11] jrib: doesn't it mess everything up? :( [13:11] rabten, I'm a bit busy right now, sorry [13:11] bazhang: i;ve done what that link said [13:11] mattgman, whats ryzom [13:11] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [13:11] In the file add a line: [13:11] blacklist rt2500usb [13:11] rabten: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:11] bazhang: mmorpg [13:12] no-one can fix this simple problem [13:12] mattgman, #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss please [13:12] Pici: what exactly does that mean that it's in my cache? [13:12] jrib: http://pastebin.com/WQaD6xk7 [13:12] no worries. only saw 200 in offtopic, so thought i'd ask the masses [13:12] Why not 32-bit color ubuntu？ [13:12] jrib: this is apt-get install python [13:13] Pici: 1.6GB sounds more reasonable [13:13] wujie_: our bits are fatter than windows ones [13:13] Guest60593: what's the output of « sudo apt-get -f install »? [13:13] and 24 is pretty much equal to 32. [13:14] DaveIngram: It basically means that the kernel is holding on to a bunch of files in RAM so that they can be accessed more quickly than reading from disk. The kernel will free that cache if it needs to allocate ram to other processes. Take a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ for some more details and examples. [13:14] Guest60593: and please try to include the command in what you copy to pastebin [13:14] isn't the difference between 24-bit and 32-bit color pretty much imperceptible? [13:14] The font looks a bit thin [13:14] jrib: http://pastebin.com/u5bnVpt8 [13:14] DaveIngram: yes given that most screens wont even show 32bit colors [13:14] with the recent serious security issues, ie the one with dhcpcd and others, will there be a new 10.04 installer? cause i think the 10.04.2 isnt that recent [13:15] servus [13:15] Pici: ah, I see. Thanks for the link. Also good to know that all my 16GB are getting good use [13:15] wujie_: 24 bit color on linux = 32 bit color on Windows. The 32bits includes an extra 8 bits of alpha. [13:16] bouma: i guess it'll come with the next major update [13:16] anyone having some stupid Q: ? [13:16] and something i've never understood. when you install 10.04 it access the network, ie for time, and says that its getting the latest package updates, but then once its installed it need ~300meg of updates ontop of whatever it dl'ed during the install. it would be wonderful if it could be installed up to date [13:17] so that from the first boot it has the latest security updates [13:17] Pici: so used memory - cache memory = memory being used by programs, right? [13:17] Do not understand [13:17] Guest60593: we can try to fix this if you wish but reinstall will likely be faster. How do you wish to proceed? [13:18] DaveIngram: Essentially. Theres also buffered memory, but I don't recall the technical explanation for that off the top of my head. [13:18] jrib:no different. i rather reinstall [13:18] Guest60593: k [13:18] hello [13:18] some people speaking dutch? [13:18] !nl | highse [13:18] highse: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [13:18] !nl [13:18] thx [13:18] Pici: OK, so it's actually used - cache - buffer = program memory? buffer is anyway quite low [13:18] jrib:i must reinstall these packages one by one? [13:19] Guest60593: it's also strange that you have thees packages like alacarte installed because they clearly depend on python [13:19] Guest60593: no, I mean reinstall ubuntu [13:19] Pythons are dangerous. [13:19] jrib: o0oW! n0oo0o0o0o0oo0 [13:19] jrib: thats awful!!! [13:19] * DaveIngram loves Pythons [13:19] Guest60593: hmm? [13:19] ubuntu boot screen because the NVIDIA graphics driver installed on the deformation, can be resolved under the next version？ [13:20] Help.

[13:20] Guest60593: like I said, we can try to fix it but it will likely take longer than a reinstall [13:20] jrib: its been a while im using my ubuntu [13:20] Thank you Pici [13:21] jrib: no problem for me! i guess i rather fix my mess than reinstall my ubuntu [13:21] is it possible to look here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libpam-ldapd under different tree than universe ... like experimental or something ? [13:21] Hi [13:21] Guest60593: ok, to check if PACKAGE is installed, you run « apt-cache policy PACKAGE » and look at the "Installed: " line. Is gconf2 installed? [13:21] I configured a firewall on an ubuntu server [13:21] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [13:21] and it somehow screwed email sending [13:22] emails are sent, but very slowly [13:22] ubuntu boot screen because the NVIDIA graphics driver installed on the deformation, can be resolved under the next version？ [13:22] it involves a webapp I wrote, so I won't ask specifically about it [13:22] but generally - how do I log what my firewall blocks? [13:22] bouma: you could try a network based install instead? [13:23] sonoflilit: by nodifying rules of course [13:23] **modifying [13:23] jrib: W: Unable to locate package PACKAGE [13:23] sonoflilit: When you disable the firewall, does the sending speed back up?

Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [13:24] moment, will restart* [13:24] Guest60593: right, that's if you wanted to know whether or not a package named PACKAGE is installed. But we want to know whether or not gconf2 is installed, so you would run: apt-cache policy gconf2 and look at the "Installed:" line [13:24] thanks pici [13:24] sonoflilit: if you are using ufw you can just set the log level [13:25] sonoflilit: It just seems curious unless you are using some packet matching rate-limiting on the port(s) being used by your mail system. [13:25] jrib: :D sure, Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 [13:25] sonoflilit: ...which would be possible, but not likely!

[13:30] 512k for ubuntu 10 version ? [13:30] CooKieMonster: did you installed ubuntu or just preparing to [13:30] CooKieMonster: its a recommended amount, it will work with 512 as well, but just more slowly [13:31] sonoflilit: What *exactly* is slow? === debd is now known as damno [13:31] CooKieMonster: its 512mb i think you mean [13:31] I must be blocking some sort of communication between my web server, web app and/or exim4 [13:31] shadow1: what's exactly your problem?

[13:32] Outta all these linux fans no one know this [13:32] so, how do I log dropped packets? [13:32] Cannot display this on screen [13:32] why not just recommend xubuntu? [13:32] when grub should be prompting me [13:32] sonoflilit: You can use the -j LOG to do that. But I'd also suggest a packet sniff to see what's going on. Maybe some packets are being dropped for some reason. [13:32] shadow1: you aren't looking the your responses. [13:32] shadow1, #ubuntu+1 [13:33] Guest60593: ah, gconf-schemas is a python script :) [13:33] damn you guys suck balls dont even know how to fix a grub menu error [13:33] jrib: is that a good news?

What does « apt-cache policy python » return? [13:36] Hi. Is it possible to revert to a simpler window switcher (ALT + TAB) ? The one displaying small thumbnails of running applications is very slow. It takes half second to open it, which is annoying when I constantly switch windows [13:36] ljsoftnet: i have no idea what a bookmark icon, or that command even does.. you asked how to run it..

What exactly happened when you used synaptic, right clicked on python, removed, and applied? [13:37] Dr_Willis: can you help me get my wireless up and running? - http://pastebin.com/9bs2QnRM [13:37] jrib: yes. but in the middle of removal it made some errors [13:37] rabten: all i do to get ireless going these days is click on the icon and select connect to my network. [13:37] Guest60593: ok [13:38] Dr_Willis: aye, thats what i used to do but then it became disabled or 'not ready' after i upgraded to 10.04 [13:38] Guest60593: is the ubuntu-minimal package installed? [13:38] Dr_Willis: i've been searching the forums for days, and no-one seems to have a fix [13:38] rabten: one of the many reasons i rarely upgrade.. do clean installs. [13:38] jrib: uhum [13:38] Dr_Willis: ah ok [13:39] Guest60593: ? [13:39] Dr_Willis: is that easy with a dual-boot system?

(gigabit networking here) [13:41] KL_: theres some options you can tweak when mounting samba shares to get some speed boost. but ive rarely done so [13:41] what's the file size for upgrading from version 8 to 10 [13:42] i couldn't find it on the net [13:42] Dr_Wiliis: I found it very big different between copy small files & large file [13:42] jrib: http://pastebin.com/CQjB4f6E [13:42] CooKieMonster: you wouldbasically be redownloading all the files on the cd.. so i would giess about 650+MB [13:42] Does anybody know with using the Unity PPA in 10.10 is there's a way to customize preferences of the unity dock area to auto hide, etc? [13:42] Roasted_: unity is very uncustomizeable. :( [13:42] rob_p: ok, I seem to be blocking packets sent from myself to myself with real IP [13:42] rob_p: can I add a rule that would allow these without specifying the ip explicitly? [13:42] Roasted_: in 11.04 it does have some s4ettings. but not a lot of them [13:42] Guest60593: pastebin output of « apt-cache policy totem » and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [13:42] Dr_Willis, is it projected to be more customiztable? [13:43] Dr_Willis, in the future that is [13:43] Roasted_: i would doubt if they add a lot of customization features. other then basic settings. [13:43] Dr_Willis, but this is linux. :( [13:43] CooKieMonster: there's really no such thing as version 8 or 10. There's 8.04, 8.10, 10.04, and 10.10 [13:43] 650mb ? that takes a whole day i wonder ubuntu update server will allow slow download rate [13:43] Dr_Wiliis: big files (eg. 500mb), I can get 50MB+/s but for small files, only 500kb/s. im not sure if it is only my problem or a common problem. [13:43] Roasted_: that means very little. :) You can always go use gnome, or kde, or..... === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [13:44] Dr_Willis, it means everything. [13:44] no one can help me here? [13:44] jrib: http://pastebin.com/PsNRfWAi [13:44] Dr_Willis, and I'd kind of like to get away from using gnome. This may seem sad, but it is VERY appealing to me to have a desktop environment that I don't have to *constantly* re-arrange my icons in the top panel... [13:44] KL_: depending on the size of the files thats not so uncommon [13:44] what happen if i use the update manager to update and the download stop half way ? [13:44] how do i see what version will be installed when i use aptitude search [13:45] Roasted_: not really in the way you are meaning it.. They are standardizing the interface and trying diffent ways of doing things. gnome has been very limited in its customizabilty for years. [13:45] jrib: http://pastebin.com/eKAnaiYt [13:45] jrib that's just for easy typing [13:45] Guest60593: why do you have dapper, hard, lenny (a debian distribution), and lucid repositories? And what version of ubuntu is this? [13:45] Hello, Problems with my internet connection. It is up in 1min, then goes down and goes back online after 1 min, etc. Signal strength is max. This 1min on-1min off-connection only happens in Ubuntu, not in Windows. [13:45] CooKieMonster: in any case, please specify an actual version :) [13:45] jrib: im on ubuntu 10.10 [13:46] needhelp: and this is a wireless network? [13:46] Dr_Willis, I see. I hope unity at least offers some comparable customizational features to it though. I always felt as though gnome was very customizable. Not quite KDE style but still quite a bit [13:46] jrib: does it make any problem [13:46] needhelp, are you on lan or wifi? [13:46] Dr_Willis, yes [13:46] jrib: to have all of them [13:46] Dr_Willis, wireless [13:46] Roasted_: gnome was amazing in how much customization/settings it lacked. :) every try to change screen saver settings? :) [13:46] dustin, wireless [13:46] Guest60593: yes, it's a problem since you have repositories for almost everything except 10.10... [13:46] what happen if i use the update manager to upgrade my ubuntu and the download stop half way ? [13:46] Roasted_: gnome3 is also heading that route it seems.. 'less is more' [13:46] Dr_Willis, what about them? [13:47] Dr_Willis, you mean gnome shell? [13:47] will it resume where it stop or it will start all over again ? [13:47] Roasted_: there basically is no screensaver settings.. [13:47] Roasted_: i dont even pay attention to the gnome-future-whatever-it-is-this-week-reports. [13:47] needhelp, thats why, are you new to linux as a whole ? [13:47] Guest60593: at this point I think you should just backup your data and reinstall and stick to the official repositories for your version of ubuntu in the future [13:47] Dr_Willis, KDE user? [13:47] jrib: um! so what is 10.10's repository!! [13:48] Roasted_: i just tend to use the basics of gnome. [13:48] dustin, Im quite amateur. It works perfect in Windows, just in Ubuntu it is up every 2nd minute [13:48] Guest60593: you're probably (I hope) not on 10.10. What does « lsb_release -r » return? [13:48] needhelp, aka ubuntu , is a child os [13:48] jrib: for god's sake no! :( couldn't i jus fix these? [13:48] acicula: thanks. yes. im copy small files around 4kb ~30kb, extremely slow, tried a lot of tuning settings but no help :( [13:48] needhelp, yes, I use ubuntu [13:48] dustin, yes i use ubuntu [13:48] Dr_Willis, I see I cant even change the arrangement of icons in my unity bar here in 10.10. [13:48] jrib: bash: /usr/bin/lsb_release: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [13:49] how long have you been using this os ? [13:49] KL_: these are not from from a usb hard drive are they? [13:49] Dr_Willis, not really sure why somebody even bothered to package this PPA together if you get the same usage out of it as watching a youtube video of it in action :P [13:49] I NEED SMTP SERVER TO SEND JOBS [13:49] I NEED SMTP SERVER TO SEND JOBS [13:49] I NEED SMTP SERVER TO SEND JOBS [13:49] I NEED SMTP SERVER TO SEND JOBS [13:49] I NEED SMTP SERVER TO SEND JOBS [13:49] Kentfordth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:49] Roasted_: yep. thats their design it seems. [13:49] Guest60593: cat /etc/lsb-release [13:49] Dr_Willis, 11.04 doesn't exhibit that, I'm sure of. [13:49] Roasted_: 11.04 dosent even have that system tay by default. [13:49] Dr_Willis, what system tab [13:49] Roasted_: 11.04 is close to a total rewrite in many ways [13:49] jrib: DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 my bad! [13:49] 'system tray' [13:50] Dr_Willis, when is 11.04's official release date? [13:50] Roasted_: end of the month :) the version is teh year/month [13:50] Dr_Willis, I knew that. I just wasn't sure which day was its actual release. [13:50] Roasted_: thers no set day. other then the end of the month i think. [13:50] Guest60593: back up your data (/home) and reinstall ubuntu. In the future do *not* use unofficial repositories or repositories not meant for your version of ubuntu [13:50] Dr_Willis: from samba server to windows (harddisk to harddisk, actually I have tried SSD to SSD, so it's not limited by storage device speed) [13:50] needhelp, pm me [13:51] 10.10 came out on the 10th because it was funny to do so. :) [13:51] KL_: well you can use filesystem tweaks like noatime, tweak your network settings and check for samba tweaks, but fetching a lot of small files from a disk takes time [13:51] KL_: ok. theres known USB device speed issues. so guess thats not the limition. [13:51] KL_: what kind of disk is it btw? [13:51] jrib: you do not know any other solution?? [13:51] Guest60593: it would require too much work [13:51] needhelp: i think your problem was due to the wireless card driver problem [13:51] Guest60593: it's not worth it [13:52] acicula: what do you means ? [13:52] jrib: how can i do it myself?? [13:52] KL_: what kind of hard drive re you using [13:52] ajin, how do i fix it? [13:52] upgrade the kernel [13:52] does ubuntu update manager has resume feature ? [13:52] hi. does anybody know a open source project for planing events? for example to plan courses and lessons in a school or in a gym? [13:52] acicula: SATA 2 & SSD [13:53] what kind of SSD? [13:53] CooKieMonster: if it was Downloading the files.. it should resume. [13:53] jrib: because i got too many packages and configurations in my linux :( [13:53] acicula: intel G3 [13:53] jrib: it's tough to reinstall it like this [13:53] hm, what can i use to have a program only proxy outgoing connections to a certain port; tsocks looks like it can do it but as configured to do so, it does not [13:54] Guest60593: get the last apt-get command I gave you to succeed. You'll notice there are version issues, likely because of your repository list. So first you'll have to fix your sources.list. Then you seem to be able to run python but just now you had a command that could not use python (lsb_release). So you'll have to investigate that too. Lastly, you'll want to make sure you get something like [13:54] "ubuntu-desktop" installed. Reinstalling will be easier and I strongly recommend you take that route [13:54] needhelp: what's wireless card vendor? [13:54] KL_: odd, those arent that bad at random reading to begin with [13:55] ajin, Realtek or Gigabit [13:55] drwillis if the internet connect drop the update manager will resume on the next run ? [13:55] KL_: anything else that could be causing bottlenecks? [13:55] CooKieMonster: it has for me.. [13:56] i just upgrade my kernel to 2.6.38, and my o2 SD card problem was resolved [13:56] acicula: no i think. only happen on copying small files. [13:57] acicula: ping time < 1ms [13:57] gtg [13:58] needhelp: you can check whether there's any newer version of your wireless card driver, if not, then try upgrading your kernel [13:59] ajin, can i upgrade my kernel with synaptic ?

[13:59] technically...yes [13:59] anyone know a good mega drive emulator? === Gto286 is now known as gto[afk] [14:00] wait a minute, let me check the command to upgrade the kernel ,seems you need a kernel PPA [14:00] ajin: is that not dangerous?

[14:09] ah you mean at the ubuntu command prompt [14:09] yes [14:10] spannerotoole, it's a laptop so it has a wireless and an ethernet. it shouldn't have "two ethernet cards" to my knowledge.. [14:10] i can look in everest [14:10] fisix, the wireless card is considered to be a network card [14:11] deadglow, do you have alsa installed and updated? [14:11] fisix: each interface will have only one mac address, it can have multiple IPs though [14:11] Deadglow: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see it [14:11] spannerotoole, lol i get that. but i'm not on wireless, it's switched off. just on ethernet [14:11] fisix, open terminal and type sudo ifconfig [14:11] when i run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda it give me http://pastebin.com/B4RPntgt error [14:12] aa:00:04:00:0a:04 [14:12] that's the only one there? [14:12] which isn't the one i assigned in my router [14:12] so liek... y change?!?!? [14:12] Help, how to use a JPEG map, to build a coordinate map system?? [14:12] i don't have alsa.i've got everest but it only seems to show information about the on board card and not the emu card [14:12] is it possible that you have added your wireless adapter in your router? [14:12] hey everytime i login it asks me for appearance setting ,, how do i disable it [14:12] ? [14:13] Deadglow: if you run: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh it will create a red URL and show a LOT of information which may help [14:14] musi: is it at the login screen or after you log in? [14:14] deadglow, you could also try sudo apt-get upgrade alsa [14:14] its at the login screen, before i reach desktop [14:14] musi: does this look familiar: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 ?? [14:14] actionparsnip [14:15] musi: run: sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop [14:15] fisix, it sounds like you are filtering by mac address [14:15] spannerotoole, no because once i unplug the ethernet c0rd and replug, it will assign the static ip since the ifconfig displays a diff mac address. wats going on... [14:15] musi: looks like you followed that but missed a step [14:15] Hello, im running ubuntu 10.10 and want to change some setting of my notebook touchpad, but when i go to system - preferences - mouse, i cant see touchpad.... "xinput list" i only can see "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse".. but my touchpad is working... how do i edit some setting of my touchpad? [14:15] hmmm... [14:16] i have a problem i am installed ubuntu inside windows 7 but today i am unable to win 7 as well as ubuntu so any body give me some info how to restore my boot loader [14:16] fisix, your mac address is fixed as it's built into the card [14:16] miteshShah, is it 32bit win7? [14:16] MiteshShah: if you run: sudo parted -l do you see an NTFS partition? [14:17] spannerotoole: yes [14:17] are you aware of the 4gig file limit [14:18] ActionParsnip: yes it shows [14:18] MiteshShah: try: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub [14:18] ubuntu runs as a file inside win7 [14:18] hi [14:18] fisix, as you have two network interfaces, you need to allow both mac addresses into your router [14:18] spannerotoole: 4Gb file limit is in FAT32, it's nothing to do with 32bit-ness. 32bit will limit to 4Gb RAM, not filesize [14:19] when i use vim in gnome-terminal and press an arrowkey it converts it to A/B/C/D. how can i fix it ? [14:19] spannerotoole: NTFS maximum filesize is 16Eb [14:19] ActionParsnip, there may be a problem with ubuntu writing more than 4gig on ntfs, since its in userspace [14:19] Hi, I'm having trouble with the final stage of installation. Whenever I restart and select Ubuntu from the menu it has a black screen with a white rectangle that says I need to have 1600x1200@60hz for the video settings. I have double-checked these but I keep getting the error! [14:20] Heyy whats the room for the future release again?

[14:20] PC [14:21] RetroReactive: is it branded or is it a home build? [14:21] What do you mean? [14:21] lol but spannerotoole , i'm not dealing with the wireless. these mac addresses are both under eth0 [14:21] hello [14:21] RetroReactive: is it for instance a Dell or a Sony desktop system? [14:21] ? [14:21] It's an Acer [14:21] spannerotoole, when i unplug/replug the cord, the mac address in eth0 changes to the one i've assigned a static ip in the router [14:21] RetroReactive: ok, what model? [14:22] Um, I don't know [14:22] RetroReactive: look around the system, it will tell you [14:22] Anyone here familiar with ACPI, APIC, and the boot process? [14:22] I think it is an Acer Aspire? [14:22] fisix, what happens if its plugged in and you do a cold boot [14:22] ciao [14:23] hello, how do i install touchpad driver?

[14:23] spannerotoole, it gets set to that aa:00:04:00:0a:04 address which i haven't assigned a static ip for [14:24] MiteshShah: I'm no good with grub, that's all i know. Usually it just runs [14:24] ActionParsnip: when i am run update-grub it give me error like /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [14:24] by [14:24] Well, I have no idea. All I know is that I definitely have the screen resolution set to 1600x1200 with 60 hertz but I still get an error telling me to change it to those settings. [14:24] have you got a 3ds? [14:25] ActionParsnip: os-prober works fine but update-grub gives error [14:25] MiteshShah, are you using a livecd?

I think it pertains to ACPI and APIC issues.

I installed php5-sqlite and sqlite3, but it doesn't get loaded in PHP achter I restart the webserver [14:26] Disabling ACPI and/or APIC is hardly an ideal solution, to lose power management or reduce myself from 6 cores to 1 core available [14:26] ActionParsnip, the "is dev mounted" gave it away... [14:26] can't install grub from live usb http://pastebin.com/JQUnT5M6 [14:27] unforgiven512: do you have latest BIOS? [14:27] Hi. Has anyone managed to install oracle 10g XE on 10.10? I'm trying to access the database homepage === takeshi is now known as t4k3sh1 [14:27] have you checked your configs in /etc [14:27] ZykoticK9: i am use empathy so i unable to see private msg can give me link here so i can read how to do [14:27] !grub2 [14:27] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[14:28] unforgiven512: the latest BIOS may have an APCP / APIC fix [14:28] spannerotoole: are you asking me or someone else? [14:28] unforgiven512: are there bugs logged for your kernel against the motherboard you have? [14:29] fisix i'm asking [14:29] anyone know how to set up wifi on 9.04 [14:29] ActionParsnip: Check on LaunchPad? [14:29] unforgiven512: indeed [14:29] DemoOn, if you are using a USB to boot from sda is gonna be the USB device - sorry man, reinstalling grub from USB is not something I've personally done, a CD would be a LOT easier. [14:29] fisix have you checked your configs in /etc [14:29] ZykoticK9: i know but right now i am focusing restore my win 7 and ubuntu 10.10 so i use it which is available in live cd [14:29] dustin: jaunty isn't supported anymore in any way === RxDx is now known as Guest86243 [14:29] ok i tried lspci and got two entries about audio controllers: 00:lf.5 8086:24d5 [0401] and 03:02.0 1102:0008 [0401] [14:29] While upgrading to 10.04 from 10.10 netbook edition, it asks for my keyboard model. I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2, which doesn't show up in the list. On Windows I use a 108-key Japanese keyboard driver, which works great. What should I do? [14:30] ZykoticK9: i've done it, but this is first time i get that error [14:30] spannerotoole, sorry, was trying to see what these configs are lol. ummm i have not. wat do u want me to check? [14:30] 11.04* [14:30] jA_cOp_: ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:30] dustin: you probably have to enable your hardware drivers [14:30] so can you update the packages? [14:30] MiteshShah, you can use the LiveCD you just need to mount some stuff during the chroot [14:30] ActionParsnip: I'll take a look [14:30] jA_cOp_: natty isn't supported here until release [14:30] deadglow, your card is not yet supported but will be in 1.0.15 [14:30] ah, thanks ActionParsnip, will do [14:30] fisix, have you set a static ip address? [14:31] ZykoticK9: if u know the command then plz give me how to mount it useing chroot [14:31] I've noticed other people have suggested disabling acpi/apic, either in BIOS or via kernel command line, but that is hardly a solution [14:31] ah ok thanks [14:31] dustin: there are ZERO repos up for it and no support here for Jaunty. Karmic also dies when Natty is released. I suggest you upgrade or simply reinstall at least Lucid [14:31] Darkstar1, what's your issue? [14:31] MiteshShah, sorry man, see !grub2 link for info [14:31] spannerotoole, i've set the static ip address in my router, assigning the mac address which only comes up after unplug/replug [14:31] jA_cOp_: also skipping a release will most likely give you more issues. I hope you upgraded to maverick first for your own sake [14:31] Need help. apt-get install xfonts-wqy keeps hanging at 20+ kB progress. I've tried changing repo to sg, tw, au & my, but that didn't help. Can someone try to install xfonts-wqy to see if this is affecting everyone or just me? [14:32] ActionParsnip, I am using maverick, upgrading from 10.10 (Maverick, right?) to 11.04 [14:32] but have you assigned your network card to have a static ip? [14:32] I have a windows app running under wine that is only ip4 aware, but I want it to connect to an ip6 host. I have miredo running and toredo connection up, and have checked that I can ping6 / tracepath6 the host that I want to connect to. logic tells me that there's probably something fairly simple I can do to make localhost port x map to ip6 host y port z, but I can't find any obvious instructions. any ideas? [14:32] jA_cOp_: i suggets you change your detail then, thats whatit sounds like [14:32] ok [14:32] dexeb: works fine here [14:33] spannerotoole, i guess i could assign both mac addresses to the same ip (if the router lets me), but i'm just curious why it's even doing this in the first place... [14:33] ActionParsnip: simply doesn't work for me. did apt-get clean & autoclean, but nothing works. any clue? [14:33] you don't do that bit in your router [14:33] you do it on your computer [14:34] i installed lucid on a flash drive but the updates failed should i have formated the flash drive a certin way or something or is there something wrong with the updates [14:34] the file you need to edit is /etc/network/interfaces [14:34] dexeb: i'm on natty but its still the same server [14:34] dexeb: i use the gb server [14:34] where can i find a list of all packages versions for 11.04 ? [14:35] ActionParsnip: i'm on lucid 10.04.2. not sure if that's why... lemme go try gb server [14:35] ecolitan: ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:35] ZykoticK9: after bind /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys still get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `/media/Soft/ubuntu/disks/root.disk' [14:36] MiteshShah, sorry, I have no idea why you're getting that... best of luck. [14:36] ActionParsnip: I've found http://goo.gl/ArwRq but it doesn't seem to be helpful. Should I append that bug, or file my own? It does (mostly) match the description [14:36] ZykoticK9: i am installed ubuntu 10.10 inside win7 D drive using wubi and today iam unable to boot win 7 as well as ubuntu [14:36] MiteshShah, WUBI - sorry man, i don't touch that. Good luck. [14:36] fisix, PM'd you [14:36] Can I please have some help with the question I asked earlier? [14:36] ZykoticK9: thanks for your help [14:37] unforgiven512: you could log your own, if the admins determine it's a duplicate they willmark it as such. You can start the ball rolling with: ubuntu-bug acpi [14:37] Wow, the ASUS technician just told me that Linux does not ACPI. Ugh. [14:37] Is there any way to specify locale when creating a user? [14:37] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [14:37] So that users home directory and firefox are in the correct langauge? [14:37] RetroReactive: what model sysyem is the Acer, or what video card are you using?? [14:38] I don't know, I've already told you that, [14:38] And I don't see how that has anything to do with screen resolution? [14:38] RetroReactive: ok well try adding the bootoption: nomodeset may help [14:38] How do I do that? [14:38] RetroReactive: because if it's an nvidia chip you may need to blacklist the nouveau driver using boot options [14:38] !anyone | unforgiven512 [14:38] unforgiven512: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:38] ouch [14:39] unforgiven512: sorry [14:39] RetroReactive: if you could have told me the model I could have easily websearched to see if it was an nvidia then advised the bootoption [14:39] Question - I set up a network printer with an Ubuntu system here at work, but when it prints the printer just heats up spinning as if it's "about" to do something but then stops. Any thoughts offhand [14:39] ? [14:39] RetroReactive: which is why I was asking the model [14:39] RetroReactive: make sense now?? [14:40] Roasted_: check /var/log/cups/error_log ? [14:40] erUSUL: It's okay. [14:40] Yeah, and I believe I do run nvidia [14:40] Sorry about that [14:40] f [14:40] RetroReactive: then use another bootoption: nouveau.blacklist=1 [14:40] okay [14:41] Hey im running ubuntu 10.10 and my powerbutton disappeared! It shows part of my username where it should be :/ [14:41] RetroReactive: those 2 are great for troublesome nvidia cips, once you get the proprietary driver installed then all will be well [14:41] how do I find out which ubuntu version someone is using? [14:41] onox: lsb_release -c [14:41] and graphically? [14:41] (it's ubuntu user) [14:41] ActionParsnip: Where would I file it? Here? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty [14:42] Well, actually, I should probably test a 10.04 or 10.10 live CD before I file, yes? [14:42] I believe it may be a kernel issue on 2.6.38, so I should try that out [14:43] unforgiven512: sounds good to me :) [14:43] unforgiven512: natty isn't supported here [14:45] Anyone here installed oracle 10g XE on ubuntu and configured the http listener?

After a while, it'll abort with error message: "Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main xfonts-wqy 0.9.9-3.2 Connection failed" [14:46] ActionParsnip: Weird thing is that I can install any other packages except xfonts-wqy [14:46] ActionParsnip: #ubuntu+1 correct?

[14:57] mynameisdeleted: canonical is a for profit bussiness for instance [14:58] and ubuntu doesnt list other ubuntu support companies equally [14:58] mynameisdeleted: why do you care how commercial ubuntu is? [14:58] a lot of open source developers dont like putting free code towards comercial profit without getting pai [14:58] But I never got that start-up screen [14:58] paid [14:59] thats why no one makes redhat packages anymore [14:59] or fedora since thats used to suppot redhat [14:59] mynameisdeleted: i think you'llfind redhat gets a lot of love [14:59] I personally wouldnt because people who install redhat either dont get updates or pay for them for the most part [14:59] mynameisdeleted: specially wit certified servers and a few printer makers will make rpm drivers but not deb [14:59] what about red hat? [15:00] who cares? [15:00] I think what would work better is any redhat package contributor has a right of first serv on tech support for their packages [15:00] I mean who cares. [15:00] and to charge for paid support [15:01] you write package x for redhat and maintain it... or for fedora [15:01] mynameisdeleted: you do know this is a support channel ONLY..

[15:05] I have an Nvidia card and i have managed to set it up so i use 2 screens with Seperate X screen configuration [15:05] there not helping in #ubuntu+1, at all [15:05] nvm [15:05] But i would love to know how i can be able to actually move programs and windows from screen to screen [15:06] Which operating system does Shuttleworth use? [15:06] dexeb: not sure, I'll try make you a dropbox link :) [15:06] !ot | Necrosporus [15:06] Necrosporus: #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! [15:06] Necrosporus: thats offtopic here [15:06] Necrosporus: that't irrelevant [15:07] emeraldfox: you don't want "separate X screen configurations". you want one. [15:07] Do you mean Twinview? [15:07] Cause i tried that [15:07] ActionParsnip: Thanks. You may want to gzip it in case it's really the file contents causing the problem. [15:07] And moving the mouse from one screen to another took alot of time ,and i still couldnt move programs [15:08] OK, thanks [15:09] i want to copy all files of the type *.type from /foo and it's subdirectories to /bar - how can i do that? [15:09] Okay: Can you please tell me how I add the code to the boot option thing. I have tried pressing e for a command line and entering the code there but nothing happens. And can I please have a real answer not put this thing here. [15:09] Anyone that could help me out? :) A private conversation would be nice if anyone could be asked :> [15:09] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x86, and have just downloaded a package from debian.org. How do I download all of its dependencies automatically? [15:10] AlecTaylor, I think GDebi will take care of that for you [15:10] dexeb: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Images/xfonts-wqy_0.9.9-3.2_all.deb.gz [15:10] dexeb: let me know when you have it [15:11] !debian | AlecTaylor: [15:11] AlecTaylor:: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [15:11] AlecTaylor, assuming, of course, that the deps are available in the ubuntu repos [15:11] metacity|dustin [15:11] TimR: I get an error when I double click on it: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libgcrypt 11 (>= 1.4.6)" [15:11] dumb bot ... [15:11] Well, other question then. My netbook, has volume +/- hardware keys, separate from the main keyboard. If I touch it, ubuntu seem to react, but volume controls doesn't disappear when I release that and also X start to work incorretly, so I have to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and C-A-F8 then to get rid of that things. [15:11] I guess I will come back later :) [15:11] metacity|dustin [15:11] AlecTaylor: if you run: sudo apt-get -f install it will pull them down assuming they are available, mixing debs from Debian is not smart, advised or supported [15:11] help, Mic audio recording aint working!!!! BUG??? [15:12] #ubuntu+1 [15:12] is someone in the sudoers group essentially equivalent to a root user as far as what they can do? [15:12] sorry if that's an overly silly question [15:12] AlecTaylor: try man apt-get [15:12] jpstrikesback: its the 'admin' group and they will get all the power of root if they prefix with sudo or gksudo [15:13] ok [15:13] man is your friend [15:13] ActionParsnip: I get an error "unable to locate package...\n Couldn't find any pacakc by regex...\n" [15:13] so then if a sudo user could get into the root account that wouldn't be the biggest deal? [15:13] linux mint+1 [15:13] AlecTaylor: that's why its not supported. It makes a mess [15:13] ActionParsnip: It works! D/L ok, dpkg -i ok. Thanks so much for all your efforts! Problem solved but root cause still unknown. I'll hate it if it's my ISP playing punk behind the scene... :) Thanks again, ActionParsnip. [15:13] i am looking for an onscreen keyboard where i can click buttons with the mouse. i.e. not cellwriter. any ideas? [15:13] audhi: mint is offtopic here [15:14] ok actionparsnip [15:14] phoenixsampras: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [15:14] nailora: onboard [15:15] ActionParsnip: thanks i guess my question above is moot then? [15:15] Is this the channel to get help with the Ubuntu 11 alpha? [15:16] Hi, can I somehow lock the mouse only? [15:16] frank__: No, please use #ubuntu+1 for that [15:16] and then need to press a certain command or type password. [15:16] jpstrikesback: how do you mean? [15:16] Is this the support channel for Ubuntu 11? [15:16] frank__: No, please use #ubuntu+1 for that [15:16] jpstrikesback: youhave added the user to the admin group so has full reign over the OS [15:17] Thanks. [15:17] engammalsko2: yes, 'secondary click on a pannel >> add to pannel >> find there tsomething like "capture mouse"' [15:17] no [15:17] I can't get zsh to autostart as my default shell, even after doing "chsh" [15:17] Or, can I edit lock mouse settings? [15:17] Because it unlocks everytime I click. [15:17] Chris___: well did chsh change your shell to zsh? [15:17] it says it did [15:18] Chris___: what does this return: getent passwd $USER [15:18] I unlock the mouse by mistake all the time. [15:18] ActionParsnip: I found a way for a user in the sudoers to switch to root without any auth [15:18] Chris___: did you remember to logout and login again? [15:18] jpstrikesback: it drastically reduces system security if you do [15:18] jrib: goose:x:1000:1000:goose,,,:/home/goose:/usr/bin/zsh [15:18] Gnea: yes [15:18] sorry [15:19] I didn't see the mouse settings for unlocking. [15:19] ActionParsnip: thx. onboard looks a bit ... plain ... but it is ok [15:19] engammalsko2: Why would you want it? Because I don't see the sense to block the mouse and a need to put a password to unlock it. Instead of it, set up the screen saver and password, which is enabled by default [15:19] ActionParsnip: yes, I agree, it seems like a bug/vulnerability, but it can't be too bad since a sudoer has admin rights anyways I just wondered if it needed reporting [15:19] nailora: there are alternatives, hunt around [15:19] jpstrikesback: if you feel it does then do so === koheleth is now known as dave65 [15:19] :) [15:19] k [15:19] cheers [15:20] BlouBlou: I'm playing keyboard only games in windowed mode [15:20] Chris___: how did you logout and back in? [15:20] but I got it to work :) Thanks. [15:20] anyone use transmission for p2p here? [15:20] jrib: I typed "logout" (did ctrl+d actually) and it closed my terminal window, then I opened a new one. [15:20] dave65: I use it for torrents, yes [15:20] engammalsko2: You're welcome [15:20] Chris___: that's not logging out [15:20] Chris___: that's closing a terminal window :/ [15:20] ActionParsnip: whats a good blocklist address? [15:21] jrib: that was sufficient enough to set zsh as my default shell on debian, though [15:21] dave65: I don't know what that is [15:21] dave65, yes which one [15:21] and since debian and ubuntu are basically the same thing... [15:21] Chris___: you need to log out and log back in [15:21] Chris___: New terminals in GNOME are typically not new login shells. [15:21] Chris___: why mention debian? [15:21] very well, I'll go restart. thanks. [15:22] Chris___: no need to restart, just log... [15:22] dustin: currently it says www.example.com/blocklist lol [15:22] dave65: what does it do? [15:23] just comes up with no rules, which I guess is bad for privacy [15:23] Is there a way in terminal to see a listing of what printers (and their settings) are connected to an Ubuntu server over ssh? [15:24] dave65: http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/17/enable-ip-blocking-when-downloading-torrents-in-transmission/ [15:24] dave65, what was you doing?? [15:25] dustin: just installing the software to get some old films but like my privacy, is peerblock available for Linux? [15:25] #ubuntu+1 [15:25] If I download ubuntu 11.04 beta now and if I want to upgrade to stable version at 28th April will I have to download the whole ubutnu again? [15:25] or just some megs? [15:25] !final | bhavesh no [15:25] bhavesh no: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Natty Narwhal and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Natty. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [15:25] bhavesh: No, just some megs. [15:25] bhavesh: no [15:25] ok ty :D [15:27] I just installed a new OS on an entirely virtual computer. and they say linux isn't awesome. [15:27] riddick: no one says that :/ [15:27] why does eth0 get a different mac address when i unplug/replug the ethernet cord? [15:27] riddick: you can install many OSes in a virtualized environment [15:27] yes they do i got the vid here [15:28] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZjxYE-nZZU [15:28] true... true... [15:29] tell me what you think [15:29] fisix: huh? a different ip? MAC adresses are attached to the hardware and shouldn't change [15:30] http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz gave me over 220k rules nice :) === herton is now known as herton_lunch [15:30] !away > herton_lunch [15:30] herton_lunch, please see my private message [15:30] erUSUL, i know. but it does. from aa:00:04:00:0a:04 to 00:16:d4:e1:bd:56 [15:31] erUSUL, trying to set up a static ip but i only have one of those forwarded [15:31] erUSUL: though in linux you can set them to an arbitrary value [with ifconfig hw ether MAC if you're interested] [15:31] dave65: I've ran my torrent server for years and not used anything like that, never had an issue [15:31] casts: i know; thanks [15:32] fisix: maybe "dmesg" gives some hints on how and why it is happenning ? [15:32] erUSUL, not to me.. haha [15:34] good morning. i have a question. how does one go about installing on a dedicated server in the cloud? say i purchase a dedicated server, how would i install my build onto it? they usually come populated with your chosen os. where can i learn how this is done remotely? [15:34] little oc question: [15:34] fisix: do an unplug plug cycle and do « dmesg | tail -n30 » paste that in a pastebin [15:34] *ot [15:34] !paste | fisix [15:34] fisix: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [15:34] Gurkenglas: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for OT [15:34] if i want to say "the server of Gurkenglas" [15:35] leftist: probably a question you should ask who you buy the dedicated server from :) [15:35] leftist: this is usually vendor specific. I would check their documentation. [15:35] Pici, i just tried the fullest channel ^^ [15:35] yeah i am starting to see that is the situation. i can see $$$$$ adding up for them to do it. [15:35] fisix: what kind of ethernet adapter? PCI or USB, what make and model? [15:35] does it say "Gurkenglas's server" or "Gurkenglas' server" or sth? dont want to get the name false :o [15:35] so i would have to build it from the base server [15:36] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/594494/ [15:36] dave65, yes [15:36] meganerd, PCI and not quite sure.. [15:37] fisix: what about « tail -n30 /var/log/syslog » ? [15:37] Gurkenglas: ask in ##english then [15:37] fisix: it is using the TG3 driver so my guess is it is a broadcomm on your MB [15:37] erUSUL, meganerd translating the mac addresses shows Vendor = Digital Equipment Corporation, but Compal Communications after unplug/replug [15:38] dave65, hey are you still there? yes there is peer bocking [15:38] hello :) [15:38] How do I make my keyring autologin or remove the keyring completely === irvie is now known as irv [15:39] fisix: how are you getting an IP? DHCP or static? Is there some script that is setting this up? You can specify arbitrary MAC addresses, but by default the one burned into the NICs ROM is the one used. [15:39] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/594497/ [15:39] martin_: if you use the same password as your login your keyring should be automatically unlocked [15:39] I use the same password. But it still requires me to login. [15:39] fisix: dhcp it is [15:40] meganerd, DHCP. but the reason why i'm doing this is because i want a static ip. i've assigned a static ip to the latter mac address. don't know if there's a script that's setting this up.. === Xero is now known as Plazma [15:40] martin_: set a blank password and you won't be bothered [15:40] How do I set that? [15:41] martin_: go find out [15:41] fisix: what about /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? what does the file says? [15:41] if I do update-manager -d will it upgrade to beta 2? [15:41] bhavesh: yes [15:41] martin_: are you using autologin for your account in gdm then? [15:41] ok [15:41] bhavesh: it will need sudo too [15:41] fisix: how are you doing this? usually I set the IP based on the device, like eth0 [15:41] yes [15:41] fisix: also, what is in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [15:41] meganerd, are you lokin for your mac? [15:42] meganerd, i used the router to assign a static ip to the mac address [15:42] martin_: yes, well you need to type the password at some point :) You can make the password for your keyring blank but I wouldn't recommend it. I would just login with password [15:42] erUSUL, meganerd http://paste.ubuntu.com/594500/ [15:42] I would prefer ablank password [15:43] martin_: Applications → Accessories → Passwords and Encryption Keys, have at it... [15:43] !who | martin_ [15:43] martin_: 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 :) [15:43] fisix: ATTR{address}=="00:16:d4:e1:bd:56" <<< that looks like the ral adress.... [15:43] ok thanks [15:43] fisix: appears in the syslog too [15:43] fisix: OK, that is not really a static IP, and 00:16:d4:e1:bd:56 should be your MAC [15:43] erUSUL, right. that's the one ive assigned to the static ip [15:43] yeah dont leave you password or keyring .. or i might need to hack you [15:43] fisix: dunno where the other comes from [15:43] lol [15:43] jk [15:43] wow, I am lagging behind [15:43] how do i use ip6tables to set up a port forward so that packets received on 4242 on the localhost are sent to port x on host y where y is an ip6 address? [15:44] fisix: maybe is nteworkmanager? what is the eth0 conf in NM ? [15:44] fisix: if you unplug and plug the ethernet in, does the udev MAC change ? [15:44] DenisMcMahon: #netfilter [15:44] erUSUL, meganerd that's the ip that shows up in ifconfig after unplug/replug. but booting with ethernet cord in will give an ifconfig mac of aa:00:04:00:0a:04 [15:44] So....my ubuntu box wouldn't boot up and I forced a fsck. It looked like it checked the disk (really quickly though) and then booted up. Did it actually do anything? [15:45] mac doesnt change [15:45] fisix: what does "ip addr" list as your MAC? [15:45] Raikia: check in /var/log/fsck/ [15:45] dustin: the MAC can be whatever you want it to be [15:45] meganerd, right now, 00:16:d4:e1:bd:56 [15:46] erUSUL: In there, there are files "checkfs" and "checkroot", both of which say "(Nothing has been logged yet)" [15:47] Raikia: what happens when you boot? [15:47] it just hangs after the "Checking battery state....[OK]" (its a desktop). If I cfdisk, it says there is an error in my boot partition [15:48] Raikia: if you have raid, there might be a battery for that [15:48] The console boots work (like, ALT+F5, etc) , but the gui doesn't [15:48] There is no raid === blueghost is now known as diving [15:48] Hi. Let's say I have a service installed, like apache, is there any way I can limit the amount of download/upload it can use ? [15:48] Anyway, I forced fsck, and it booted correctly...but I'm afraid that it won't boot again after i restart [15:49] mads-: maybe with a special iptables module [15:49] Raikia, my system hangs after the "Checking battery state" as well, but I believe that with Debian and not Ubuntu... actually I'm not sure what distro does that -- I didn't find a solution, hope you have better luck. [15:49] or tc class/queues etc. [15:49] meganerd, erUSUL wat do? [15:49] dustin: you can specify the MAC address that the system presents to the world. THe MAC burned into the ROM of the NIC stays the same, but you don't have to actually use it. [15:50] Well....its never done this before until today :-// [15:50] fisix: I might not have read far enough back, but how are you detecting a new MAC? [15:50] What is shell to see what version Ubuntu you are running? [15:50] hi [15:50] safetynet, "lsb_release -a" [15:50] fisix: if you unplug and the plug the ethernet cable back in, does the MAC in the udev rules change? [15:51] ZykoticK9, Thanks much friend! [15:51] exit [15:51] linux-headers-2.6.35-27...although I just now updated to 28 (after the one successful boot) [15:51] safetynet: cat /etc/lsb-release [15:51] meganerd, when i boot with the ethernet cord plugged in, i'll get aa:00:04:00:0a:04. unplugging/replugging will give 00:16:d4:e1:bd:56 [15:51] When the boot failed, I had not updated anything [15:51] I have a problem with mirroring my laptop disp. into my desktop LCD monitor over HDMI. (I can see the Ubuntu Splash at start, then screen lose signal when Ubuntu is loaded) [15:51] fisix: OK, where does it list that MAC address? [15:51] meganerd, if i unplug/replug now, i'm sure it'd give the latter [15:51] meganerd, ifconfig [15:52] meganerd, really?? so if i was having trouble with mediacom /quest seting yp then would that be it? === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [15:52] fisix: use ip config [15:52] meganerd, what's ip config [15:52] would be nice to fix this asap because my neck is going to break anyday now from looking down at the laptop screen .. ! [15:52] QuiSE: did you check to make sure you have the required drivers? [15:53] meganerd, fisix@LAPCOMP:~$ ip config [15:53] Object "config" is unknown, try "ip help".

It is running Linpus linux at the mo, what are my options? [15:53] try ip [15:53] TheEvilPhoenix: im not a advanced User. How do I see if I have the correct drivers? [15:53] meganerd, Thanks much as well, like both 1st post gives more info, 2cnd clean cut to the bone! [15:53] dustin, meganerd oh lol. kk ip addr works and gives me the latter ip [15:53] fisix: "ip addr" will list devices, their states, and their address (ipv4 and ipv6 if used/available [15:54] meganerd, i mean the latter mac address which i've assigned to the static ip [15:54] QuiSE: which version of ubuntu? 10.04? 10.10? [15:54] alright.. so after installing ubuntu 10.10 (it was a dual-boot with win 7) i decided to get rid of windows. now my boot-up process hangs before it lists the OS's to go into.. i don't know if grub was entirely erased, or is glitching without win 7 there [15:54] meganerd, 00:16:d4:e1:bd:56 once again [15:54] how do i repair grub? ;_; lol [15:54] all right we are all learning [15:54] *.04.

(not sure if that is ok or not) [16:02] QuiSE: huh, then i'm not sure, there're people here more smart than I when it comes to Ubuntu, sorry I couldn't be of more help (i tried :/) [16:03] hi all. this is only my second time on irc. how do i login with my nickname [16:03] ZykoticK9: i guess it finished alright, i'll reboot and give it a try. thanks for the assistance [16:03] ZykoticK9: it would actually create a wpa.conf file in his home directory, no such file actually exists [16:03] erUSUL: thanks for the suggestion. I tried with it. but I get a warning saying something like: couldn't connect to system bus! [16:03] TheEvilPhoenix: Strange thing is that the ubuntu splash shows on the screen. then the screen lose signal when ubuntu is loaded and starts X [16:03] meganerd, all good then :) [16:03] ravana: is server version? [16:03] QuiSE: that's very interesting [16:04] TheEvilPhoenix: thanks for your help :) I will keep looking [16:04] * ZykoticK9 hopes mordof ran update-grub2 after installing it to sda... [16:04] ZykoticK9: barberan I actually create a foleder that I store a bunch of my commonly accessed APs in, I also name them wpa_.conf, but the naming is totally arbitrary [16:04] meganerd, given up on my case? [16:04] erUSUL: what do you mean? [16:04] fisix: doing some googling, it does not make sense to me yet [16:04] TheEvilPhoenix: perhaps I will try download the new ATI drivers see if it works [16:05] QuiSE, ubuntu wont atuo install ? did you try thr wubi installer with iso on win side ? [16:05] how do i reenable hibernate and suspend in ubuntu10.10 ? those options r gone after i installed "laptop mode tools" [16:05] ravana: if you are running the server version of ubuntu. or normal ( gnome ) one [16:05] meganerd, yeah me too and me neither [16:05] fisix: whereas the barberan question I know backwards and forwards [16:05] erUSUL: normal xfce. sorry. [16:05] dustin: no it didnt want to autoinstall when I tried form USB [16:06] barberan: what I do next is "sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c ./wpa.conf" [16:06] Hi guys! My Q is abotu the beta2, 11.04 so if I am in the wrong channel I apologize. Trying to install it under vmware (win7) but UNITY was disabled the first time I installed it and I am wondering if there is anyways to make it active? (it warned about hardware so does it mean that I should have a netbook necessarily or there is s.th. else I am missing) thanks [16:06] lol meganerd wats the barberan q? [16:06] ravana: ahh ok. not sure if xubuntu supports udisks or not... [16:06] barberan: then you should see some messages, it should be obvious if everything is ok or not. If it is ok, switch to another console and do "sudo dhclient wlan0" [16:07] What is the ubuntu equivalent for /etc/sysconfig/route-eth0 ? [16:07] erUSUL: I see. can't I get it working with mount command? [16:07] fisix: a usename in here, he asked how to connect to wpa from the CLI. I do this sort of thing pretty much every day. [16:07] ravana: what filesystem does the usb drive use? [16:07] erUSUL: sadly, ntfs! [16:08] meganerd, ohhh lol. should be googleable >__>. this mac address duality on the other hand... [16:08] only issue is it get loaded as a read-only system. I can read the content. [16:08] PeterNL: I have no idea what /etc/sysconfig/route-eth0 is, but the server version of ubuntu should use /etc/network/interfaces, the dekstop editions are managed by network manager [16:08] QuiSE, whats your specs hard and soft .. and os tryin to install [16:09] I just installed LAMP and would like to have full permission access to my www folder, can someone point me in the right direction please? [16:09] dustin: I dont think I can shrink and make space on my HDDS, there are alot of free space. but I cant format the unallocated space without making it a dynamik disk. [16:09] ZykoticK9: problem... that didn't work [16:09] when my computer boots up, it hangs at the spot where it looks for an OS [16:10] nothing shows up, no fail or no grub [16:10] footetraffic ty=ry open as admin and then change the permissions for your user name [16:10] mordof, did grub show up? Did you run "sudo update-grub2" after installing grub? [16:10] the partition that used to hold the MBR is currently just empty [16:10] dustin: its a MSI GX660R Gaming laptop. running win7 on 2x500GB raid0 disks [16:10] ZykoticK9: no it didn't say to, it went on to something else [16:10] or you can use chmod [16:10] hi, i've installed ubuntu netbook edition and i need some helpers about configuring unity and some programs [16:10] ravana: can you create any files on the usb stick? [16:11] mordof, are you the one using USB to try to install grub? [16:11] ZykoticK9: no [16:11] mordof, ok [16:11] i'm on a live CD [16:11] vaxinated: can't create any directories. [16:11] but my partitions are all weird now after all the formatting and whatnot that i've done [16:11] i think it's getting confused [16:11] vaxinated: didnt check with a file though. think it's the same! [16:11] could someone tell me how do i sign in [16:11] ZykoticK9: i've rebooted into the live CD, so this may be why - but sudo update-grub2 returns an error :\ [16:11] mordof, after installing grub i think you need to actually have grub scan where there bootable options are, thus the "sudo update-grub2" is probably required [16:12] ZykoticK9: caanot find a device for / [16:12] ZykoticK9: and yes the drive is mounted [16:12] mordof, you need to do the whole chroot thing for that to work. [16:12] try "touch /mnt/usb/testfile" [16:12] mordof, what is the error? [16:12] ZykoticK9: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." [16:12] ravana: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb [16:12] fisix: so to be clear, you get a different MAC address when you boot, but if unplug and plug in the ethernet, you get the mac address we found in the udev rules? [16:13] mordof, you need to chroot properly - see the link in !grub2 [16:13] !grub2 > mordof [16:13] mordof, please see my private message [16:13] meganerd, correct. and continual unplugging/replugging will always give the latter mac address [16:14] can someone help me? [16:14] fisix: and before you unplug and plug in the first time, the udev rules have the MAC that you eventually get? [16:14] hi.is there any way to start indexing of "files and folder lens" in ubuntu 11.04 === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [16:14] hi [16:14] ZykoticK9: i don't think my problem is listed in here.. really [16:15] mordof, read the part about chroot and mounting dev proc etc. [16:15] nitroxidus : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [16:15] i have beta 2 [16:15] hello [16:15] ok [16:15] thanks [16:15] fisix: and there is nothing in network manager when you edit the wired connection under cloned mac address?

MethedMan [16:16] ZykoticK9: but all this seems to apply to -reinstalling- grub. that's not what i'm doing [16:16] erUSUL: now we are ticking. this doesn't know what ntfs-3g file system is! [16:16] raido: yes [16:16] ZykoticK9: i'm installing it in a different location [16:16] looking for how to install it [16:16] ravana: not installed?

[16:17] MethedMan: so, you registered MethedMan ? [16:17] meganerd, i'm not editing anything (to my knowledge)... [16:17] raido: correct [16:17] what is the best way to get my /home/jmknsd/Downloads and video, etc. to point to directories on another hard disk, soft links?

I'm new to this. [16:21] I'm frome china. [16:21] shadow74_, good for you [16:21] fisix: copy it down somewhere in case it breaks something.

[16:22] MethedMan: is a huge list :P [16:23] MethedMan: better use the alis service to search the channels you are isnterested in [16:23] meganerd, hokay deleted [16:23] ZykoticK9: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error..." when trying to mount it [16:23] meganerd, i'll restart and see wat happens.. [16:23] meganerd, brb [16:23] rumpe1: /list does not work [16:23] i typed mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/work -t ext4 [16:23] erUSUL: what is alis service [16:23] erUSUL: sure.

Are you sure it's sdb2 that you want? "sudo fdisk -l" should list your partitions and their types. [16:25] ZykoticK9: says to specify the filesystem type and won't let me leave it off.. [16:25] ZykoticK9: ah, it's 5 [16:25] mordof, sounds like you're using the wrong device name, or it's not formatted. [16:25] thanks [16:26] ZykoticK9: This also happens if the partition type does not match the filesystem [16:26] ZykoticK9: that'd be the problem~ i was specifying the device as a whole, the extended block with 2 [16:26] genii-around, that would also make sense [16:27] Hello. I just copied over my guest OS to a larger partition using gparted from live cd session. The guest being Ubuntu. I then set the new partition to boot but when I restart the vm all I get is a black screen.. Hoping someone here has tried this before and resolved the issue. Using Vbox 4.04 [16:27] ZykoticK9: grub-install does not exist [16:28] ZykoticK9: i can't use sudo /sbin/grub-install [16:28] * mordof sighs [16:28] time to recover it manually it would appear... [16:28] where is terminal [16:28] mordof: /usr/sbin/grub-install [16:28] where is terminal [16:28] Good morning, I am having a problem that is bugging me to no end, I try to open a file or folder and no matter what it is Open office pops up and tries to open it, I am looking for a fix [16:28] damijan: ALT + F2 [16:29] damijan: Applications -> Accessories [16:29] meganerd: ty.. the guide was wrong on that one [16:29] ZykoticK9: after that - installation finished. no error reported. same as last time though [16:29] mordof: if in doubt, try "which grub-install" [16:29] ZykoticK9: do i reboot now and see if it worked? [16:29] mordof, now "update-grub2"! [16:29] can i replace ubuntu plymouth with usplash? [16:29] what is the best way to disable framebuffer in Ubuntu? === Guest76411 is now known as Pyker [16:29] erUSUL: with the installation of ntfs-3g, it's now working correctly. thanks for the command and the pointers. just updating.

[16:30] ZykoticK9: kk, i'll be back to let you know regardless of outcome, thanks~ [16:30] meganerd: useful info :) thanks [16:30] meganerd, :OOOOOOOOOOO it works!!! === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [16:31] http://fukumoto-tech.serveblog.net/wordpress/ [16:31] meganerd, booted right into the latter mac address/ thus ip was correctly assigned [16:31] my serial port on ubuntu called ttyUSB1 and i want to use it with wine how can i do that ? ??? === matts is now known as matts_away [16:31] meganerd, thank you for the halp (: [16:32] Can someone tell me how to stop Open Office from being the default file manager no matter if it;s a file or a external drive open office tries to open each and all by default [16:32] fisix: np, plan b was to have it set in a script at boot, something like "ip link set dev eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:" in rc.local [16:33] fisix: replacing the Xs with actual values of course. Sorry it took so long, I don't usually mess around with the GUI tools very often. [16:33] ZykoticK9: didn't work at first.. this is kind of bizarre [16:33] mordof, "at first"? [16:34] ZykoticK9: i thought "ok, it's installed on that hard drive.. i wodner if it's hanging because it's finding SOMETHING but not everything on my other (now empty) hard drive" [16:34] ZykoticK9: so i changed the boot order priority of my hard drives to put the old one lower [16:34] ZykoticK9: and it loads grub.. so now i've got a random empty 500gb hard drive with a blank/failing MBR on it.. [16:34] ZykoticK9: i'm in my own install now though [16:34] meganerd, ahh icic. solid backup. lol, too pro for gui eh. somebody had me change my interfaces before. should i revert back to: auto lo [16:34] i usually find it a pain to use any presentaion softwares Openoffice/MSword. even tried Ease but none seem to work for me any suggestion on what to do? will using latex help? [16:34] iface lo inet loopback [16:34] [16:35] mordof, nice. Glad you figured it out. [16:35] I installed the maverick backported kernel within Lucid Server. But I cannot find the corresponding linux-source-2.6.35 package... any idea? [16:35] fisix: I just spend a lot of time at the CLI. We use a bunch of embedded networking devices at work, CLI only. [16:35] ZykoticK9: question is - how do i clear that hard drive entirely? i don't want it to hang like that [16:36] mordof, i'm not sure man? [16:36] fisix: the interfaces file does not matter if you are using the GUI (really a front end to network manager). It would not hurt to put it back though. The lo is loopback device and that should be enabled. === tom__ is now known as Staticlv [16:37] ZykoticK9: lol, alright no worries. at the very least - if i go to put it in another computer (since i dropped windows i have far too much space xD) a install of an OS would be required, thus fixing the MBR anyway [16:37] meganerd, gotcha! cli vs gui related question.. if i sudo apt-get install instead of synaptic, are there any differences? [16:38] mordof, ya - easiest thing to do really - install an OS on there. === josecruz is now known as jcruz [16:38] fisix: not really. They all work from the same database.

I went into the recovery mode and changed the root password with passwd. but, when I change the network settings, the system still tries to authenticate me and fails when I give it the root password. [16:49] thanks :) [16:49] Ishwon: np [16:50] meganerd, AHH i was thinking of pushd and popd actually! should try them out, they're pretty convenient for cli navigation [16:50] joe6: have you logged into the root user account?

[16:51] meganerd, http://www.talug.org/events/20030813/cmdline_tips_n_tricks_aug03.html [16:51] joe6: when you change the network settings, the system expects that you enter the password of the user, not the password of root [16:52] rigved, oh, ok. that is what i am missing. thanks. [16:52] i think gnacktrack is same driver with ubuntu, because gnacktrack maked with ubuntu 10.10..how is that pici? [16:52] joe6: once you log in as root in the terminal, change the password of the user, so that you can use it [16:53] rigved, smart, thanks, will do that. [16:53] right, I have spent most of the day reading man pages for iptables, ip6tables and ufw, and still can't see how to get this port forward set up. The requirement is pretty damn simple. I just want to forward port x on localhost to port x on [ipv6 address] [16:53] joe6: you are welcome.

[17:06] hi, someone has tried to install gnome-shell -final- in ubuntu 10 lts [17:06] kde: apaently no one has. [17:06] kde: check the PPA repos see if it exists. [17:06] anyone know of a place/server to learn about wireshark [17:06] ok,thx [17:07] MethedMan, maybe in #wireshark [17:07] MethedMan: wireshark homepage perhaps? [17:07] every so often i get into a situation where alt-left, alt-right, alt-f1, etc. behave as if i hit ctrl-alt-. using maverick. any idea how to fix this without rebooting? [17:08] hydester: you are not using synergy or vnc are you? [17:08] thx rumpe1 and Dr_Willis - also what does 'ops' stand for [17:08] Dr_Willis: no. i did use a vnc client earlier, but it isn't running now [17:09] hydester: ive heard of similer bug when using Synergy the ctrl-key would 'stick' [17:09] MethedMan, operators? outputs per second? ... [context needed] [17:09] hydester: does it also affect the console? or just X? [17:09] in xchat it says "1 ops, 1518 total" [17:10] MethedMan: Those are the number of channel operators. FloodBot1 is opped in this case. [17:10] What would it mean if a script that I run manually works, but if I run it using cron it fails with exit code 127 (which according to bash man means command not found). [17:10] @Pici i appreciate your response. what exactly is a channel operator? [17:11] Kindari: use the full path to the commands in the script. cron is using a differnt PATH [17:11] MethedMan: A channel admin. [17:11] Dr_Willis: not sure. ctrl+alt vs alt with those always seem to do the same thing in the console [17:11] Kindari: did you set the full path in the crontab? eg "/bin/command" instead of "command" [17:11] Dr_Willis: Ah, thanks, will try that. [17:11] MethedMan, operators [17:12] @Pici thx. i also have *nix questions in general. is this the right place [17:12] MethedMan: depends on the Q. theres also the #linux channel [17:12] @rumpe1 operators make sure people don't spam and what not? [17:12] d1gital: No, in cron I did the full path to a script, but in the script I used "tar". Will replace with /bin/tar and see if it works, thanks. [17:12] I'm trying to do a PXE install of ubuntu server but I keep getting a kernel panic where it complains of not finding a root fs and cannot mount a VFS: http://oi54.tinypic.com/4rq4hx.jpg [17:13] MethedMan: Yes. But keep in mind that operators only 'op up' when needed. The rest of the time we're just users in the channel, like you. [17:13] @Dr_Willis i downloaded TOR and have it running out of the box no problem, but it is not integrated with my system. how do i place a command so that it shows up as a "possibility" like cp, mv, mkdir, wget, et cetera [17:14] MethedMan: theres some tor WIKI pages on setting up tor under ubuntu. [17:14] tor works perfectly for me [17:14] that is not the problem [17:14] MethedMan: In the past i just started TOR from rc.local not cron. [17:15] MethedMan: torify can be used... [17:15] rc.local? cron? [17:15] or was that the other guy with the cron issue.. :) [17:15] usewithtor also works, no problem so i can run tor from the CLI [17:15] MethedMan, add the TOR executable to your PATH or create a link from somewhere in your PATH [17:15] MethedMan: if you are asking how to set your PATH you export the PATH variavle [17:15] Good morning everyone. I'm in need of some help because everytime i boot and reboot my computer, it takes me to busybox and won't boot. I was searching the internet and found it has something to do with UUID. Excuse me as I am very new to Ubuntu.. [17:15] Bash Basics. :) [17:16] @ZykoticK9 and @ Dr_Willis - yes and yes how do i do that [17:16] MethedMan: You may want to spend some time reasing a few bash beginner guides. You 'export PATH= "proper path"' basically [17:16] !path [17:16] No factoid on thta. :) [17:16] export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/to/add [17:16] I think.. [17:17] that'll do, yeah [17:17] I need to place it in ~/.bashrc for it to be permanent? [17:17] MethedMan: it may be in your .profile not sure. check both [17:17] MethedMan, Dr_Willis command above is correct, but I don't think it will apply across reboots - .bashrc for ^ MethedMans got it [17:17] MethedMan: or make a ~/bin dir and put a link to tor in there. [17:18] One issue with keeping yur old /home/ :) my configs are all from years back... [17:18] @Dr_Willis -> thx will try [17:19] Elo room [17:19] hi is there a way to find out when the root account was created === tvaculin is now known as brumla [17:19] hey all [17:20] Latro7_, ? Its created at install? [17:20] yes [17:20] How can I change my login splash screen on Natty? I don't see the option in System > Admin > Login [17:20] i mean the date [17:20] Chris___: #ubuntu+1 [17:20] Latro7_: at the system-installation [17:21] @Dr_Willis -> is there a difference between /bin and /usr/bin/ they look the same to me [17:22] iceroot where can i find system-installation [17:23] @Dr_Willis -> sorry. i see that they are *very* different. where is a good source to get a semi-detailed tutorial about the linux file system === Latro7_ is now known as Latro7 [17:23] Dr_Willis: on keeping your old /home/, have you run into any problems with old configs? is it better to let the apps re-create them on install? [17:24] * MrMKWingzero pamid dulu semua . nice night :D,see u [17:25] am installing python-mysql and it says EnvironmentError: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config not found. === DaveIngram is now known as DaveIngram_afk [17:26] I'm going to have to upgrade my Hardy box soon. [17:26] Hello. I installed compizconfig-settings-manager with apt-get and now when I turn my laptop on I lose my theme settings. I have to manually open "Appearances" for the theme to turn on. Even so, Nautilus looks ugly (no theme). Help please! [17:26] * d1gital sheds a tear [17:28] Am I the only one still using Hardy? I'm afraid that keeping my /home will cause problems when I upgrade. [17:29] hi everybody! [17:29] d1gital: you could delete the settings files/folders and keep your personal stuff [17:30] how to install mysql_config? [17:30] poop [17:30] pooop [17:30] poop [17:31] poop [17:31] poop [17:31] FireTalon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:31] i installed ubuntu via wubi but my hard drive is kind of damaged and works better with windows. right know i cant acess ubuntu, does anyone knows an "easy" way to aceess ubuntu files via windows? [17:31] WaltherFI: but I'd hate to reconfigure everything.. are the configs likely to cause problems? [17:32] d1gital: if you're upgrading from hardy to natty, i'd suggest clean install [17:32] so much have changed [17:32] d1gital: also, i'd suggest going straight for the 11.04, not 10.10 as 11 is coming so soon anyway === jackneill is now known as Jackneill [17:33] WaltherFI: =\ so "rm -rf ~/.*" should be ok? [17:34] Does anyone know how I might be able to make Shift+Scroll Wheel emulate a horizontal scroll? [17:34] how can i run my java program from the terminal??? what is the command for that [17:34] epitron: Is it a jar or class file? [17:34] it is a .java file [17:34] i also have the class file [17:34] d1gital: hm, sounds legit - however, i think you should run it from live cd/usb [17:34] d1gital: to make sure nothing's left behind [17:35] epidemic: javac file.java && java file (or just java filename if you already have the class). [17:35] what are ya talking about [17:35] epitron: You can't run a java file dirrectly, you'd need to compile it and make a class file. [17:35] WaltherFI: good idea, thanks. so 11.04 drops at the end of the month, right? [17:35] okey, so how can i run the class file then? [17:35] d1gital: yes. The beta is quite stable already, though [17:35] abit: This is the official Ubuntu support channel. For general chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic. [17:36] epitron: With the class file type "java <>" make sure that you do not include .class to the name [17:36] Anyone know of any collaboration software or anything similar that a small office would benefit from? [17:36] okey, thank you :) i will try that [17:36] d1gital: been using natty for a month, usable, though some compiz problems + not too optimized nvidia drivers (no more 720p on my laptop) [17:36] epi:No problem, let me know if you have trouble. [17:37] i installed ubuntu via wubi but my hard drive is kind of damaged and works better with windows. right know i cant acess ubuntu, does anyone knows an "easy" way to aceess ubuntu files via windows? [17:37] Does anyone know how I might be able to make Shift+Scroll Wheel emulate a horizontal scroll? [17:37] aauthor: isn't it ctrl+scroll? [17:37] aauthor: or alt? [17:38] aauthor: i think there is a default one [17:38] * aauthor checks. [17:38] WaltherFI: I'm not worried about compiz, but I am using nvidia drivers.. are you talking about nv or the closed-source drivers? [17:38] d1gital: the default ones from repos at least use a bit more calculating power, as in i used to be able to play 720p on my laptop w/ maverick [17:39] anyway, party time, woo [17:39] how can I show two windows at once without positioning them manually ? [17:39] WaltherFI: I don't think that there is a default one that is implemented system-wide. Some applications like chrome use shift, but I'd like to be able to do it in any application (such as firefox.) [17:40] Anyone know how to run VLC as daemon? [17:40] melt: Do you have ccsm installed by any chance? [17:40] swatto: what do you mean? [17:41] swatto: vlc can open .iso disks straight out of the box, if that's what you're looking for [17:41] WaltherFI, start it at startup without the GUI so i can remote administer with http interface on my phone [17:41] swatto: cvlc [17:41] is there a shortcut in ccsm to do that ? [17:41] swatto: cvlc is vlc without gui [17:41] can I *test* dhclient without actually applying anything? [17:41] swatto: installed by default with vlc [17:41] WaltherFI, awesome thanks :) [17:42] swatto: just type cvlc filename.mkv or so in the terminal [17:42] I just want to test whether a certain DHCP responds correctly, but I don't want to apply the addresses to my eth0. Any idea? [17:42] should i install advanced ccsm or simple ? [17:42] melt: Yes. [17:42] anyway, partytime people, cya [17:42] melt: Advanced [17:42] WaltherFI, could i just type cvlc as a command in startup applications [17:42] melt: advanced most probably [17:42] . does anyone know of a laser printer brand/model that will work out of the box with 10.10? [17:42] swatto: try it out [17:42] WaltherFI, or does it need to accept arguements? [17:43] anyone know how to recover data from a drive that is making weird noises. I want to dd it but the drive is not being recognised... The drive itself is making a noise similar to that youtube video of a guy playing the super mario theme on a rotary motor [17:43] swatto: not sure, but vlc is very versatile, try it out[B [17:43] good day all! I have installed maverick meerkat on a clients toshiba and now his 0bda:0158 RTL mass storage device will not mount his sd cards. I have added the usb-modules and modprobed it which now shows the mmcr, but when you insert the sd it goes away and there is nothing mounted in its place. anyone have an idea or solution? [17:43] i cant browse my phone with bluetooth anymore; it says Nautilus cannot handle "obex" locations. any suggestions? [17:43] melt: After you have ccsm installed, use "Grid" to set up keyboard shortcuts to do what you want them to do. [17:43] WaltherFI, will do brb :D oh btw to anybody that couldnt figure out my issues with startup apps not working it was because I had a corrupt user profile so just had to delete old user and make new, everything working now [17:44] HyperShock: manually mount it [17:44] swatto: you're not the only one who has had problems with startup apps... [17:44] WaltherFI, its a common occurance atm? [17:44] geekbuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters [17:45] ThinkT510, was just looking at that - only saw one 3million dollar model [17:45] swatto: well, the startup apps doing crazy stuff is a common thing and been for a while [17:45] ThinkT510, was hoping for something that someone who had to work could afford o.0 [17:45] i installed ubuntu via wubi but my hard drive is kind of damaged and works better with windows. right know i cant acess ubuntu, does anyone knows an "easy" way to aceess ubuntu files via windows? [17:45] somewhereinthewi: you don't do that [17:45] can anyone help me setting up a proxy server in ubuntu? [17:45] somewhereinthewi: ext3 is highly unstable, [17:46] ikonia: ok [17:46] somewhereinthewi: (in relationship to windows) [17:46] can anyone recommend a decent wysiwyg webpage editor? [17:47] swatto: dreamweaver with wine :P [17:47] geekbuntu: sorry, i haven't got a laser printer, i have a hp deskjet 3000, had to add the ppd file to support it in cups [17:48] OK I installed ccsm. what to do next ? [17:48] ikonia: how can i know what device it is? gnome shows the mmcr icon, hitting properties indicates no device name [17:48] ThinkT510, i appreciate the effort - just havfe to hand this off to soem peeps who may be challenged to set it up if it's more than just plug/play [17:48] haha [17:48] i cant browse my phone with bluetooth anymore; it says Nautilus cannot handle "obex" locations. any suggestions? [17:48] *shudders... i said the p&p phrase* [17:48] dreamweaver.. [17:48] HyperShock: it's going to be /dev/sd$X you should be able to work it out [17:49] ruan: OBEX is a bluetooth file-sharing protocol, just so you know [17:49] hi, i'm running backtrack which is based off ubuntu [17:49] how can I split the view to show two windows simultaneously with ccsm? [17:49] yeah i know, but why isnt it working. it worked before [17:49] now the backtrack repos have outdated versions of my graphics drivers [17:49] so i've added ubuntu repos to /etc/apt/sources.list [17:49] mad__bull: we don't support backtrack linux here [17:49] mad__bull, backtrack isn't supported here [17:49] !backtrack [17:49] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [17:49] mad__bull: #backtrack-linux is the channel you need [17:49] mad__bull, did you try talking with them on their irc channel? [17:50] ikonia: thanks for making me think, the magic command to find the device node is >> sudo fdisk -l [17:50] coz_, yeah i did [17:50] i thought this was more an apt-get question [17:50] mad__bull: they seem to be helping you, please progress it in there [17:50] HyperShock: bang on ! [17:50] as the question is a generic one around apt-get [17:50] mad__bull, no it is actually what those guys do with their repositories [17:50] mad__bull: please progress it in there [17:50] ls [17:50] I have a slight problem with Linux... If this is the correct place to post? [17:50] Infame: is it ubuntu ? [17:51] ok thanks [17:51] Yeah [17:51] Infame: go for it [17:51] hi, is there anyone using new Intel I5 Sandy Bridge with integrated GPU (HD 3000)? I can not drive it normally. please any suggestion. [17:51] what to do with ccsm to show two windows at the same time ??? [17:51] the commandline util works perfectly fine. gui doesnt [17:51] sera [17:52] ikonia: my client doesn't need to be going to shell/cli, and I need the gnome icon to appear when this thing is mounted, in short I need it to be automounted. the client will be using multiple sd cards in the device. any suggestions? [17:52] HyperShock: manually mounting it will give an idea as to why the automounting isn't working [17:52] melt: maybe #compiz can help you more? [17:52] ok thanks [17:52] i'll have to create a obex cl-ui at this point [17:52] ikonia: no it didn't actually, i successfully manually mounted it [17:53] ikonia: the files i need are in fact there and can be accessed. [17:53] HyperShock: interesting, so unmount it, remove and put the card back in, look at the sylog, it may give a clue === ng_ is now known as NG_ [17:54] hi, is there some one who has experience in Sandy Bridge GPU (HD 3000)? the driver can not support it. [17:54] hechu: hyst state your problem [17:55] Well... Every time I start the computer I get greeted with this: error: no such partion. grub rescue> [17:55] ikonia, what is it means? [17:55] It worked fine a min ago... [17:55] Infame: it means the disk with your ubuntu install on for some reason isn't accessible at that moment [17:55] It won't even give me the choise of which OS to use... [17:56] hechu: it means explain your problem [17:56] Infame: that is the grub rescue prompt [17:56] what is a quick way to find out in what repository a specific package resides? e.g. i would like to know where 'sudo' is located [17:56] I have absolutely no idea what that is ThinkT510 :p [17:57] elementz_, dpkg -S sudo [17:57] Infame, try sudo update-grub and paste the output [17:57] ikonia: not getting anything in logs, system thinks all is ok [17:57] BluesKaj, at the grub rescue> promp? [17:57] Infame: look here under the heading command line and rescue mode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:58] Infame, from a tty if possible [17:58] ikonia, oh, I bought a new laptop with Intel I5 Sandy Bridge CPU, and the GPU is also integrated with CPU. I installed 10.10, but the it seems the graphics driver do not support my GPU. I can only use VESA driver. [17:58] thx [17:59] BluesKaj: he can't boot, its a rescue prompt from grub === elementz_ is now known as elementz [17:59] hechu: the gpu is nothing to do with the cpu [17:59] HyperShock: look at the dbus logs and dmesg output [17:59] to use the terminal id have to use the 'presentation option' on the ubuntu disc... [18:00] guys, i tried downloading the netbook remix again, hoping the new download would fix the problem, so i used the startup disk creator, everything is good, except it halts in 94 percent, and it says check sums do not match, yes or no, i tried using another 1gb usb, since i thought my 8gb usb might be faulty, but its thesame [18:00] Infame: at the rescue prompt type ls [18:01] Infame: you should see a list of partitions [18:01] yeah === chybi is now known as stb [18:01] last year, there was a problem with my trackpad, it shows an X cursor, instead of the normal pointer, and the menu icons disappear on some programs, minimize, x , maximize buttons === stb is now known as stc [18:01] rumpe1: hm. maybe i was too unspecific. what i want to find out is, which apt-repository provides a certain package/program [18:01] Infame: do you remember the partition you installed ubuntu to? === stc is now known as Tibi77 [18:01] partion 5 [18:02] (hd0,msdos5) then I guess? [18:03] Infame: type: "ls (hd0,5)/" does it show you a load of directories? [18:04] elementz, well... the dpkg command gives you the packages with the specified string (of a command e.g.). The next step would be the policy-command on the package-name to get the repository... maybe i will remember the exact name of the policy-command. [18:04] error: bad filename [18:04] Hi everyone! Please help. How do I change the language that use at startup? (in console) [18:04] ikonia, thank you for you information. here is a post about Sandy Bridge: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODk2OA it seems there is no usable driver for my graphics card. [18:04] Infame: did you type it with the quotes? if so take off the quotes [18:05] elementz, ah... apt-cache policy foopackage [18:05] oh lol, I forgot the / character. My bad. [18:06] rumpe1: thx!

Mind redirecting me to a page? Don't want to give you too much bother [18:11] Infame, sudo update-grub [18:11] Infame: rumpe1 beat me to it :) [18:11] \o/ yay [18:12] what is the best way to download ubuntu netbook remix, and how much is the total mb size ? the 10.10 version [18:12] !netbook [18:12] kinect27: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [18:12] kinect27, around CD-size [18:13] hello channel, I require some assistance [18:13] hey guys im on a live CD trying to sort out grub2 [18:13] Ok, next question...

[20:39] ayecee: tar: Child returned status 2 [20:39] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [20:39] gimpy6471: right know i have a wubi installation on which im not able to access ubuntu anymore [20:40] ayecee....did you know how to use protocols of IRC in socket programming? [20:41] sunil_: yes, but programming questions are not proper for this channel. [20:41] gimpy6471:i did a check with windows although and it freezzes at 74% [20:41] plop all [20:41] somewhereinthewi: Ah, wubi...I know nothing about it. Anyone else here able to help? [20:41] Heylookitsbret: weird. does the file exist? [20:42] gimpy6471:i had the same click noise with wubi too [20:42] gimpy6471:i had the same click noise without wubi too [20:42] somewhereinthewi: Window's chkdsk takes time, if it stalls and doesn't move for an hour I'd bet the disk is dead and it's time to buy a new one. [20:42] ayecee....then how i will find about...if you let me know some website regarding this> [20:43] sunil_: I do not have any websites memorized, I would have to use google to find one [20:43] ayecee: you know what i think i had the wrong extension give me a min [20:43] sunil_: however, there is a irc channel for java. To enter it, type /join #java [20:43] gimpy6471:i guess the disk is not good. but with works much better with windows where i only heard one click [20:44] somewhereinthewi: Number of clicks means nothing. You can try to download harddrive testing software from the manufac (e.g. Western Digial) and see what that says. It will physically check the sectors of the drive. [20:45] gimpy6471:one thing i like in ubuntu is when using net disk is much quieter than on windows [20:46] gimpy6471 : on windows even with the page is totally loaded you still hear disk activity [20:46] how can I find out which udev rules would match a device? I have the device - is there some utility which will list them all? [20:47] it's a usb networking dongle [20:47] gimpy6471 : thanks for the tips i will try to test using software manufacturer [20:48] ayecee:so after i extracted it, i typed ./configure and it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [20:48] " [20:48] ayecee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=927270 that is what im working on [20:48] Heylookitsbret: is there a file named configure in the directory?

[20:49] could someone help me get my mouse functioning correctly? In short, because the left and right click buttons are also a part of the touch pad, they're being mapped as a part of the touch pad itself and not as button; therefore, I have no right click, and if I had one finger on the left click and one finger on the touchpad, the mouse freaks out. [20:50] Chris___, define "freaks out" ? [20:50] why is ubuntu always upgrading? [20:50] cl0se: goes all over the screen sporaddically, as if you were trying to control a touchpad mouse with two fingers [20:50] somewhereinthewi: I don't understand what you're asking. [20:51] after upgrade to Natty, how can I automatically upgrade my PPAs as well? [20:51] alpha_: natty is supported in #ubuntu+1 only === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [20:51] Chris___, can you disable the touchpad in BIOS, and use the mouse properly? THis may help troubleshooting [20:52] ayecee, this is a general question for every upgrade, but ok [20:52] cl0se: it's a laptop. if I disable the touchpad, what mouse am I supposed to use? [20:52] please help, i am loading 10.10 32bit Maverick Desktop onto a laptop. I get this purple screen, with two symbols at the bottom. then the screen goes blank, and the install goes no further... what does this mean? [20:52] Chris___: a mouse plugged into a usb port, if you have one [20:52] Chris___, I misunderstood. I thought you were using an external mouse and having the issues when it and the touchpad were having issues [20:53] type /join #java [20:53] ayecee: nothing works unless i cd into the folder, but i dont think it does anything [20:53] there is a flashing cursor now,,, thats it [20:53] Heylookitsbret: I don't understand what you mean [20:53] please help, i am loading 10.10 32bit Maverick Desktop onto a laptop. I get this purple screen, with two symbols at the bottom. then the screen goes blank, and the install goes no further... what does this mean? there is a flashing cursor now,,, thats it, and the cdrom stopped spinning.... suggestions? it looks like its reading it.... [20:54] cl0se: ah, no. the touchpad's L and R click buttons are also a part of the touchpad itself, so to L click with my thumb while using my index finger to scroll with the touchpad, it spazzes out seeing "multi touch" and not ignoring my thumb on the L click button [20:54] ayecee: I can at home, but on the go, that's not a realistic option for me [20:54] ayecee : so many versions. will an older version work better in an older computer? [20:54] Chris___, please type "lsusb" and see if your touchpad is listed in there [20:55] somewhereinthewi: sometimes, yes. Using the most recent LTS release will ensure that you don't have to upgrade as often. The most recent LTS was 10.04, I believe. [20:55] cl0se: just a moment, I'll need to reboot into linux, was using windows to skype with the girlfriend. brb.

[20:56] Does anyone know how I can assign the windows key to open terminal please? When I press it in keyboard shorcuts it doesnt register it unless i press it in combination with something else? [20:56] ayecee: if i follow the directions, it says no such file or directory until i go into the actual folder itself then it runs all sorts of checks and tells me please install the package with full kernel sources for your dist.. or use --with-kernal=dir to specify another directory with kernal sources and states the defualt [20:56] ayecee : don t understand your answer. [20:57] should running update-manager -d update me from natty narwhal beta 1 to 2? [20:57] swatto, Just open System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and scroll down to Run a terminal Double click it and press the windows key. [20:58] swatto, windows key is a modifier, so you have to use it with something else [20:58] are ubuntu versions incompatible? [20:58] swatto, I mean it's possible to do it with some X magic, but not worth the effort [20:59] I wanted to upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 (desktop) to ubuntu 11.04 (beta) on my notebook. I tried doing this with running "update-manager -d" but it tells me every time (translated from germany): "Authentication check failed" - Any idea how to get the beta?

Well Lubuntu seems lighter than Xubuntu, and Xubuntu was almost there and actually generally worked rather well. It's just that in the odd case where I have to hook up my physical monitor...it seems like Xubuntu starts to barf once the load gets high enough.

[22:01] how do i make my bash script check if the user has the package 'python' avalible? [22:01] the app bar is there, the right click works in other applications... [22:01] but no menu from a right click on the desktop [22:02] macs: you could try running 'which python' and check its return codes perhaps.

[22:05] can anyone tell me how can i run a java program that i made in ubuntu [22:05] how to run it and compile it ? [22:06] DOokami, Do you know how to compile and run in general? [22:06] sevith: i cant imagine either. i dont code in python. [22:06] java --jar foo.jar (or was it -jar) [22:06] KNUBBIG i did it in the past years but i totally forgot ,, i'm not sure if i have the right "java run time" files yet [22:07] so i kinda need the steps [22:07] Dr_Willis, ulimit controls user processes? Im sending out DNS traffic but running out of buffer space in the middle of the script. I have 2gb of ram with 8 gb of swap im not sure which limitation its relating too :/ [22:07] Dr_Willis, -jar [22:07] to refresh and do it [22:07] gotta love so many 'standards' to choose from with command line arguments. :) [22:07] DOokami, you need either sun-java6-jdk or openjdk (sorry, don't know the exact package name) [22:07] :D [22:08] !java [22:08] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

[22:09] first is javac grade.java [22:09] Dr_Willis, Hrrm. I think its a system bug ;) Cuz iv never had any problems throwing out thousands of packets before until now? Maybe when I recompiled the kernel i mucked something up but i could reboot to a dif. version and check to see if it works? [22:09] Damn thats a good idea ima be right back and see if it fixes anything [22:10] javac grade.java < compilation ? [22:10] then ,, ? [22:10] westmi: it is not. [22:10] ok [22:10] thanks [22:10] DOokami, javac grade.java just compiles it and creates a grade.class which you have to call with the java command (but without the .class ending) [22:10] KNUBBIG so it'll be "java grade" ? [22:11] the second line i mean [22:11] DOokami, yes [22:11] KNUBBIG, thaaaaaaanks a lot :D [22:11] DOokami, no problem [22:13] can anyone tell me how to stop from going to sleep when watching a full screen video?

[22:16] Dr_Willis, well, it happens with any videos, youtube, any online videos, and the media player i use is vlc [22:16] ok [22:16] Its the kernel issue now [22:16] ... [22:17] cykros: that's an 8000 line document [22:17] Or maybe its because the kernel its optimized on this version because it was taking an easy 2 seconds to push 100+ packets but on the other version i was going over 100/second and run out of buffer space no later than 1300 packets [22:17] rebooted to [22:17] 2.6.35 [22:17] got to 2000 and no problems [22:17] -.- [22:17] sevith: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:17] Yeah, Enter as punctuation my bad :( [22:18] Aaron_Wayne: I DO belive vlc has some setting for disabling the screensaver. but i never notice the problem here. I tend to use vlc, or smplayer a lot.. lately however ive been using xbmc [22:18] zetoh: thats how the package manager system works. Yes. :) [22:18] sysRPL: idk offhand how to do it, so i figured i'd direct you to the manual for the command that will do it. [22:19] sorry that it's long, and hopefully someone else may be able to walk you through it... [22:19] Dr_Willis, that actually leads me to another question if you dont mind, if i could play everything through vlc that would be great, why dont some streams work? do i have to do something with the codecs? [22:19] how do you exit man ? [22:19] hit 'q' [22:19] Aaron_Wayne: Depeneds on how the stream is streming i guess. I rarely watch video streams [22:19] Aaron_Wayne: ive seen very few things that vlc cant play. other then DRm protected stuff. [22:20] how no pWnOS [22:20] how now pWnOS [22:20] ** [22:20] actually, now that i think about it, there may be a command along the lines of "smbmount" that may be better than smbclient for what you need anyway [22:20] its been a few years since i did any samba shares though [22:20] I have vlc playing everything... works great [22:20] i think these days i'd probably just use ftp [22:21] Dr_Willis, yeah, like some youtube videos work for me and a lot of others dont, other sites i can understand, like u were saying with drm, but i run into a lot of of youtube that i wouldnt think would have an issue but they dont play [22:21] haven't found a reason why samba would be worth the headache setting up over ftp [22:21] i show samba-common and smaba-common-bin installled ... does this mean smaba is installed? [22:21] other than, obviously, a preexisting network using samba all over the place [22:21] I cant see why one would use FTP in this dy and age. [22:21] Dr_Willis: because it beats zmodem :-P [22:21] I recall a amuseing site on 'ftp must die' [22:21] gave some neat history on ftp. [22:21] sysRPL, yes [22:22] Dr_Willis, Did you get that? [22:22] though zmodem is still used, mostly on BBS systems [22:22] Dr_Willis: how else would you reccomend shared hosting companies allow people to upload their web sites? [22:22] Oy...ZModem protocol was really really great "back in the day" and I beta-tested it heaps of times on my BBS.... [22:22] sysRPL: scp [22:22] some kind of class? [22:22] Dr_Willis, The issues doesnt exist in kernel 2.6.35-28 for me. Or at least I cant reproduce it with the same script. [22:22] Dr_Willis: that would require people to donload an scp capable client [22:22] YankDownUnder: do you still run a BBS? [22:22] sysRPL: given the security issues with ftp.. its scary its still in use. thats the 'core' of most arguments against it. [22:22] sysRPL: so what.. [22:23] I mostly connect to entropybbs.co.nz these days [22:23] just moved away from vertrauen recently [22:23] how do i change the default browser in ubuntu? [22:23] though, i managed to screw things up with BRE, so i can't play that there until (unless?) the door gets reset. [22:23] preferred applications [22:24] @ senix [22:24] cykros: and wheres that [22:24] Dr_Willis, i get something like this every time something doesnt work [22:24] Dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/594644/ [22:24] that would depend on your user interface [22:24] but it'd be somewhere in a system menu of some kind [22:24] cykros, Actually - been thinking about setting one up again - JUST LIKE the old days...

[22:28] Is it normal to have 2 ubuntus at GNU grub? One being Linux 2.6.35.28, and the other being 2.6.35.22.... [22:28] Infame, It's normal. [22:28] Infame, They're different kernels. [22:28] Infame: did you upgrade your kernel at any point? because that would do it. [22:28] cykros, lets get back on topic please [22:28] cykros: I proberly have about 10 kernels :) [22:28] Infame, Yes. They are just different kernel versions. [22:28] Yeah... I upadted a few things... [22:28] Do I delete one?... somehow? [22:28] Infame, I have around 8 entries on my grub menu.lst all different. So dont worry [22:29] Infame, Thats more of a how to edit grub question but in essence /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:29] each kernel takes up what? about 200mb on the system? i never really looked into it [22:29] Not quiet sure [22:29] Oh, so it doesn't explictly take too much space? [22:29] Infame, go to System -> admin -> synaptic. Search the number of the one you want to remove. Remove the package that shows up. DON'T delete all the kernels [22:29] Theres the kernel, then the related modules.. [22:30] Infame: if you remove the older kernel through synaptic it'll take care of the grub for you... I'll leave it just in case i have problems with the newer kernel [22:30] Infame, What edbian said. I really would leave it there. If you muck the menu file up you wont be able to boot your system. [22:30] Infame, Depending on your expertise you could fix it. Or if you mess it up youll have to reinstall [22:30] ah, logic, Mark :p [22:30] LOL [22:30] Infame, No id guess at the most a kernel is 5MB max? maybe?.. [22:30] I just got Linux today. First time ever. [22:31] welcome to the dark side [22:31] wtf ... what is samba4? [22:31] Ah, then I don't mind too much :p [22:31] hrrm 4th version of samba im guessing? :P [22:31] i followed some guides ... and tried sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop [22:31] Hello to all,I have permis [22:31] but it ddn't work [22:31] ok, i got windows to load on the box, not the issue, im trying to load ubuntu, when i get to ubuntu install screen from booted usb flash drive set to boot from bios, it allows me to work the graphical boot menu, i set noacpi no everything bascially, and it just sits there,,, finally the ubuntu 10.10 4 dot screen loads, and it its and sits,, dropping down to tty1, it says, unable to find live fs medium...

Too bad I'll have to find something else than VS ;p [22:32] sudo service smbd stop (i think) [22:32] Does anyone know a script or something that will cut images in half vertically, as in 3360x1050 to two 1680x1050 images?

[22:34] im finding out things as i go [22:34] m4v, I did I just helped a few people :) [22:34] s3r3n1t7: thanks, but i didnt utter [22:35] Infame: u can delete the ones u do not want as well as cleaning packages with this software use Ubuntu Tweak or Ailurus but keep the one u boot to and a back up previous kernel if ur booting to 2.6.35.28 and 2.6.35.27 keep those and remove the rest i have done it and it works as well as using both has some advantages over the other use both softwares as i mentioned makes it a very easy task [22:35] sevith, that command will probably wreck your entire installation and is therefor considered very dangerous. Do not execute it. [22:35] Im not in a real position to be help anyways lol [22:35] taglass: any work around? [22:35] s3r3n1t7, I know I know lol. I wont run it :P === mentaldevils__ is now known as mentaldevils [22:35] But i still have my kernel issue here...no one seems to know much on it [22:35] I am trying to install Ubuntu. Everytime I boot from the livecd I simply end up at a black "Busy Box" screen. Help? [22:36] Phail_Quail: same issue here today [22:36] sevith: not much call for recompiling kernels these days [22:36] Phail_Quail, Insufficient support for gpu? try vesa drivers instead? [22:36] except i made it to the initramfs prompt [22:36] Dr_Willis, I know its lame. :( [22:36] Phail_Quail: check the md5sum of the iso image? could be a bad burn/download [22:36] sevith: i dont miss it.. [22:36] sevith, if you know what it does then you should never suggest it, not even as a joke. [22:36] Dr_Willis: could be but most likely he has same issue as me [22:36] I checked the md5sum and I burned at slowest speed on two discs. I know this is not the issue. [22:36] Dr_Willis, Its entertaining :) [22:37] Phail_Quail: i always install fromusb flash drives these days [22:37] bios is mucking with anything other than linux lol,, note, this is an old laptop [22:37] hey all, can anyone recommend a distu for me for a celeron 433mhz/256mb ram/40gb hdd ? needs to be able to use my pcmcia wifi card so DSL/puppy wont really work [22:37] And Educational... [22:37] Next question, faulty Ubuntu instal partions resulted in some memory being allocated but wont be used at all... is there are a way to 'merge' thouse with hd0,2? [22:37] Dr_Willis: im in usb install, same issue [22:37] Dr_Willis, is there a tutorial for installing from USB? [22:37] anyfoo [22:37] linuxrealm: beta2 .iso? [22:37] Dreamscape: other then Puppy - you may be out of luck. perhaps TinyCore Linux. [22:37] nope [22:37] 10.10 stable desktop [22:37] so who here actually recommends untiy?, i have yet to use it, is it worth it? [22:37] unity* [22:37] Infame, What partition was it? You might be able to just mount it into the system *Like into your home directory* For added space. [22:38] KNUBBIG: use a tool to put iso on the usb flash.. and boot it.. install.. [22:38] Dr_Willis: is there anything ubuntu based i could use? i feel at home with ubuntu [22:38] ill be back.... [22:38] Dr_Willis, okay, thanks ^^ [22:38] Aaron_Wayne: its to be the new default in the next release.. [22:38] Dreamscape, crunchbang linux [22:38] Dreamscape: that low end.. perhaps Lubuntu. [22:38] thanks guys [22:38] yeah, is it way different? [22:38] Aaron_Wayne: I'm enjoying is so far once I found the option to keep the launcher from hiding. [22:38] il loo into it [22:38] Aaron_Wayne: its way differnt then gnome.. yes. [22:38] Dreamscape: try kolibriOS :-) [22:38] 433mhz... that might even push Lubuntu..lol [22:38] join #backtrack-linux [22:39] It was partion for Ubuntu.. but since two installs failed, and the 'advanced partion' part confused me... I kept on doing it untill it installed. [22:39] Dreamscape, lubuntu, xubuntu [22:39] thanks mehlo [22:39] about 2 allocations... 100 gb... [22:39] ./join #backtrack-linux [22:39] Currently on LiveCD reviewing it. [22:39] Dr_Willis, it looks like using it though it is not worth running dock, or pretty much looks like a dock i guess, correct? [22:39] xubuntu is just a little lighter then gnome - from the last bemchmnarks i saw [22:39] whats better then dropbox that you can sync from/to/ [22:39] Dr_Willis, it was a ton lighter on resources on my last test (a few months ago) [22:39] ? [22:39] Aaron_Wayne: get a live cd and try it. [22:39] LiveCD -> GParted... [22:40] Infame, install gparted or qtparted and snoop around format a partition and then mount it wherever with mount -t filesystemtype /dev/sdb1 /mount/target/here [22:40] Oppps [22:40] Infame, Might help. Might not. [22:40] Sevith, apparently, it's unallocated memory now. [22:40] Dr_Willis, is natty already released? [22:40] s3r3n1t7: saw some web sites graph out/test the desktops.. lubuntu won hands down. but i just skimmed the artical :) [22:40] What I'd like is: For it to be allocated to sda2 [22:40] Aaron_Wayne, no [22:40] Aaron_Wayne: beta testing [22:40] Aaron_Wayne, only betas [22:40] oh sorry [22:40] can a wubi installed full ubuntu mav meerkat fully updated be move to a larger drive usb 500gig [22:40] Dr_Willis, i haven't had the chance to test lubuntu out just yet, i'll make a note of that to do that early next week. Thanks for the reminder [22:40] KNUBBIG, how can i run live cd then? or just boot live with maverick and install? [22:41] speedy: ive seen guides/tools for converting a wubi install to a normal install. [22:41] Infame, sudo apt-get install gparted and then run sudo gparted and then format the partition apply the changed get to the terminal mount the partition to the area you would like and its like extra space.. [22:41] Aaron_Wayne, you could download a beta CD and run it [22:41] s3r3n1t7: yea. Lubuntu is handy. [22:41] Sevith, I'm currently running GParted on LiveCD... Any difference? [22:41] Infame, Or you could fdisk it...But..You said ur a noob so that might be a bit over your head? [22:41] LOL [22:41] Infame, Not really not. You should still be able to check the system hdd [22:43] KNUBBIG, what is the download for it? I already have a live usb of maverick created right now [22:44] help i need pWnOS.iso [22:44] spid3rnet: never heard of it. [22:44] Aaron_Wayne, here are download links for beta 2: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/beta [22:45] spid3rnet, ? [22:45] its a vuln live cd to u can pentestit [22:45] its pentration testing [22:45] KNUBBIG, oh, its a natty beta [22:45] spid3rnet: its not ubuntu.. so check google for its homepage perhaps. [22:45] so DR_willis no idea [22:46] spid3rnet, you could also use backtrack I think which at least has a channel here, #backtrack [22:46] i know with /etc/host i can override ip to name lookups. is their a way to override name to ip lookups? [22:46] thers dozens of similer disrots/tools at teh DisrtoWatch web site. [22:46] guys, cannot switch sound from firefox and many other apps to usb soundcard. apps do not show up in Sound Preferences, although they did some time ago. Ubuntu 10.04 [22:46] tried rebooting [22:46] usb soundcard set as default [22:46] before firefox would show up in sound preferences [22:47] not now [22:47] now almost nothing shows up [22:47] vlc shows up [22:47] most apps do not [22:47] what to do? [22:47] louigi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:47] Stop hitting enter so much.. for starters. :) [22:47] Dr_Willis, lol. [22:48] Dr_Willis, sorry! [22:48] Does anyone know how I can assign the windows key to open terminal please? When I press it in keyboard shorcuts it doesnt register it unless i press it in combination with something else? - sorry was afk so didnt get the last message [22:48] hi [22:48] louigi: could be those apps are some how not using the PULSE audio system. [22:49] swatto: its a meta-key (aka the super key) its used by many many other apps as that sort of a key. remaping it may goof up a lot of things. [22:49] is there aw ay to check my power management information through the shell? (ie. battery life etc etc) [22:49] swatto, if you've got compiz you could use that [22:49] Dr_Willis, could be. But how to make them use now? And what could;ve changed that? [22:50] swatto: theres tools like guake, that can scroll down a terminal with differnt key combos [22:50] KNUBBIG, Yep ive got compiz [22:50] louigi: no idea really. ive rarely had to mess with sound settings like that. [22:50] Dr_Willis, a meta-key? Ive never had no use for it yet? [22:50] swatto: compiz and unity make use of it for a great many things... [22:51] cant manually install wvdial.deb [22:51] KINGOFSWORDS: try 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb' perhaos [22:51] Dr_Willis, ahh ok, shall i leave it then? [22:51] <|Slacker|> whhat do you need wvdial for? [22:51] it runs and then says same version is available at software centre [22:51] swatto: i use it in unity, and for compiz featutres all the time. :) even in windows it has special features these days [22:52] problem is i have been unable to connect to net all day and wanted to know how to over rider it for future reference [22:52] KINGOFSWORDS: where did that .deb come from? [22:52] i dled it on my windows pc [22:52] Dr_Willis, Windows as in the OS? Cause i dont use it [22:53] i was having trouble connecting on lucid and wine [22:53] <|Slacker|> lemme see...you need a dialer to connect, am I right? [22:53] !find gpsctl [22:53] i presume theres a problem with the usb on my ubuntu/laptop [22:53] File gpsctl found in gpsd-clients, gpsd-dbg [22:53] <|Slacker|> have you tried gnomePPP? [22:53] How do I figure out the UUID of a new partition? [22:53] !uuid [22:53] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [22:54] gerzel: sudo blkid should tell you [22:54] thank you [22:54] :-/ [22:55] whats gnome ppp slacker [22:55] is it sAme as wvdial? [22:56] KINGOFSWORDS: if it's a 3G usb modem(or the likes) make sure you have usbmode-switch and usbmode-switch-data installed [22:56] ppp = point to point protocall - used by dialup connections :) not sure about the 3gusb things.. [22:57] im not even sure if wvdial is needed/used by the 3g modems. [22:57] MaRk-I i have modeswitch and have been connecting with that [22:57] <|Slacker|> oh...3g modems [22:57] I just teather my phone to my pc. :) [22:57] <|Slacker|> mine runs well under network manager [22:57] it was a deb file i dled in windwos and moved over but whats the data installed [22:57] <|Slacker|> and I have a kinda old fashioned 3g usb modem [22:58] Could anyone help me put some unallocated data onto some allocated data (Get more space on that specific partion) [22:58] i get great connnection when it connects but during daytime it has real problems..but will connect to windwos xp(but not wine) === mentaldevils_ is now known as mentaldevils [22:58] <|Slacker|> Infame, guess gparted does that for ya, doesn't it? [22:59] No idea how I would go forth on that, sorry. [22:59] One would not use 'wine' to drive hardware normally... [22:59] yeh i thought a dial up program was wierd for a 3g fome but read it on ubuntuforum [22:59] Got it up on LiveCD, but not many options are availeable when right clicking on the unallocated space... [22:59] no but since it connects in normal windwos xp i thought it might be ok in wine [22:59] <|Slacker|> KINGOFSWORDS, it's possible to set it up to use a 3g modem but I don't hink it'll solve your problem [23:00] ok [23:00] KINGOFSWORDS: wireless in wine? [23:00] like i say when it does eventually connects its great connection [23:00] not wireless [23:00] 3g fone with usb cable [23:01] but what does wine has to di with it? [23:01] do* [23:01] it has wrong usb ids alot of the time [23:01] well 3g modem connects in windows [23:01] anyone know how to update twitter from curl? [23:01] give me a recent link? my test didn't seem to work... [23:02] ah sorry...the fone has virtual cd with driver software on it(only for windows) which i have installed in wine [23:02] the autoinstall.exe is reason for it not connecting in linux hence the modeswitch prog [23:03] any good tutorials on using ubunt with droid phones? [23:03] like for syncing and stuff [23:03] FATAL: Module ubserial not found. [23:03] get this in terminal and when i go into bios boot menu usb doesnt show up anynore [23:03] KINGOFSWORDS: usbmode-switch is so it can be detected by network manager as a modem and not as a USB storage device [23:03] When's 11.4 coming out? [23:03] excelsior: in what way? I just plug mine in and access its data as if it was a usb disk. [23:03] sync calendar? [23:03] contacts? [23:03] ok [23:04] either way it works.. [23:04] excelsior: err. Hmm.. my calander and contacts get synced to my google email account.. [23:04] hey guys, i'm trying to boot a debian based live disk from a card in a card reader, and my bios won't recognize it. How can i boot it from grub? [23:04] i used unetbootin to prepare it [23:04] KINGOFSWORDS: not sure but you didnt need the windows installation for it, it was just to go to network manager and setup the correct info [23:04] Dr_Willis: I'm not all that googly... [23:04] Can anyone tell me how to get that unallocated space into sda2? [23:05] mister2: if a pc cant boot from a card reader. it may not be possible to trick it into doing so. unless you do some remastering of the cd. [23:05] anyone ever use curl to update twitter> [23:05] ? [23:05] I'm on Maverick 64-bit, and I'm having issues with my Linksys WMP54G (rev 4.1) [23:05] half the time, I can't get an IP address [23:05] and if I do, the connection is VERY slow === cak054_ is now known as cak054 [23:05] night all [23:06] good night [23:06] ok MaRk-I theres a thread explaining how to do it and the problems ppl are having on ubuntu forum.. [23:08] Infame, read up on this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted Make sure to back up all your data before trying it though [23:09] geus: Already on livecd with gparted. How to work it? === irvee is now known as irv [23:10] does anyone know a good live usb creator besides unetbootin, i dont really like that, i like something like linux live but can only get that for windows [23:10] Hello [23:10] Hi JuiceFace [23:10] well, boot from it (set it as the primary bootable device in BIOS and follow the GUI/read the documentation [23:11] Basic authentication doesn't work on twitter, any thoughts? [23:11] aaron_wayne: multisystem, previously called multiboot [23:11] Is there an ubuntu development IRC channel? [23:11] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [23:11] why wont ubuntu bring up eth0? is there some sort of preference for wireless with dhcp as opposed to static ip on a wire? [23:11] firefly2442: #ubuntu-devel [23:11] ty [23:11] Recently installed ubuntu on my old laptop. LIked it so much dual booting it with my Desktop. =). [23:11] xangua, cool, will check it out === davidc3 is now known as davidcalle [23:19] hi - i am running ubuntu 10.04. i ran "sudo apt-get purge wine" and for some reason when i click on certain files they successfully load in a program that runs through wine. i am *baffled*. [23:21] im having problems with rhythmbox finding my iphone [23:22] i have libmobile installed ifuse etc [23:22] MethedMan: The "wine" package itself "is a dummy package that depends on the standard Wine components"... [23:22] i have kubuntu 10.10 [23:22] jordan_ using IOS 4.2 ¿ [23:22] Jordan I had the same issue, I googled it and some guy had a few commands i entered and it worked.. sec i can try to find the link [23:22] maybe [23:22] MethedMan: Check that wine-bin, wine-utils etc. are uninstalled as well [23:22] ill look [23:23] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html [23:23] jordan_ for ios 4.2 [23:23] i have iphone 3,1 os 4.3 [23:24] arand, try sudo apt-get autoremove [23:24] What can I do to speed up Ubuntu on a laptop without upgrading? Specs - 1.7Ghz, 2GB RAM, shared graphics. It's only used to browse web pages and watch movies and maybe create the odd document [23:24] cat geus > MethedMan [23:24] How can I listen to some iTunes content on Ubuntu> [23:24] ? [23:24] geus? [23:25] Hi, is problems with microphones a usual occurance with ubuntu? [23:25] test1234: no [23:25] MethedMan: 23:23 < geus> (...) try sudo apt-get autoremove [23:25] pozic, you can use wine [23:25] pozic: Are there any tests you can do to se what the problem might be? [23:25] Is anyone familiar with the little images on some open source projects where it shows the number of lines of code, number of developers and total estimated cost of development... I want to do that for a project I am working on, but I can't seem to find it. [23:25] but itunes doesnt work well [23:26] arand, that should remove the wine packages after removing the dummy package [23:26] test1234: given your information, it could be anything. [23:26] it does install and i would advise having a high power computer [23:26] ok i see. so the main file (what are the files called when i run "aptitude search ") is the "binary emulator"? [23:26] geus: Again, it's MethedMan who's asking [23:27] lol sorry arand [23:27] pozic: thats my problem, i need a way to narrow it down. Can you suggest something i might try? I have enabled the microphone in the alsamixer and it isn't muted in sound preferences. what else can i do? [23:27] Is there nobody who reverse-engineered the protocol? [23:27] test1234: so, you get no sound at all? [23:27] pozic, i dont know [23:28] i have never seen another applcation that connects to itunes [23:28] MethedMan: "aptitude search wine" will likely list most of them... [23:28] i got it. thanks arand. you are the man. [23:28] MethedMan: If you use aptitude to remove it should autoremove the core packages as well [23:28] hey i have an ubuntu asws instance [23:28] pozic: I get no sound from the microphone no. but my sound card appears to be working just fine with music etc. [23:28] how do i disable the forced public key authentication? [23:29] i don't know which option it is in sshd_config [23:29] test1234: you should just use pulse audio. [23:29] test1234: is this a laptop? [23:30] annnyyone? [23:30] arand: i am currently running "sudo aptitude remove wine" -> now it wants to free 228MB. does that make sense? [23:30] safire, is PasswordAuthentication set to no [23:30] pozic: no its not a laptop. And in my skype settings for example its already set to pulse audio and it doesnt work. Btw what is pulse adiio? [23:30] what does {u} mean after a package? [23:30] MethedMan: uninstall [23:30] y [23:31] yes, that's what i thought it was [23:31] but i don't understand the comment [23:31] # Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords [23:31] how are they "clear text passwords"? [23:31] test1234: there is a pulse audio configuration application which shows the volume currently recorded. [23:31] arand: i don't think that was a good idea [23:31] test1234: you might have to install something for that, but all of that stuff should be documented. === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [23:32] i see then perhaps my mic is muted in the pulse audio settings. [23:32] Hello guys. I have an firewire express card, but I can´t use on ubuntu 10.10, I get no /dev/raw1394 at all =/. I have tried many things already. [23:32] pozic: ok i'll look for pulse audio settings manager or something similar. I'll get back to you later. Tahnks for your help. [23:32] :) [23:32] anyone? :D [23:32] safire, it means that the password is send in clear text thru the tunnel [23:32] but the tunnel is encypted [23:32] so it's not a security problem, right? [23:32] test1234: if it did not work out of the box, also report a bug. [23:33] arand: the weirdest thing happened when i ran sudo aptitude remove wine -> my graphics and background all changed to something very basic. it appears to be fine now [23:33] safire, yes [23:33] pozic: of the box? [23:33] but keyauth is safer [23:33] test1234: that is an expression, [23:33] wine is the nasty [23:33] pozic: im not familiar with the meaning of that. please expand [23:34] Anyone know how make a firewire express card on ubuntu 10.10? [23:34] yeah well [23:34] dreamweaver can't do keyauth [23:34] test1234: i'm using pulse audio applet, found it in repository [23:34] can xchat connect to more than 1 server? [23:35] I just remember it (the open source code cost estimation image thingy) being an animated gif (or maybe a little tiny piece of flash) where it said how many lines of code, how many developers, estimation of hours spent and how much it would cost to pay someone to develop it for you === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [23:36] test1234: it means in this case that if you just use a LiveCD and you plugin a microphone and you start some recording app and say something, that it should work. [23:36] safire, it should be safe afaik, some more info; just a google though: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ssh-and-clear-text-passwords-723424/ [23:36] mehlo: I'm not sure how you found it. Can you specify? [23:36] test1234: if it doesn't you can annoy the developers. [23:36] mehlo: I'm quite new to ubuntu [23:36] pozic: duly noted. :) [23:36] test1234: perhaps you want to read a book on basic Linux usage. [23:37] cool finally made it [23:37] lol [23:37] pozic: perhaps. i like this sort of interaction and exchange of information. [23:37] pozic: but you're of course right. [23:37] so excited about Ubuntu...now have to get it installed...LOL [23:37] pozic: anything you might suggest? [23:38] test1234: it really doesn't matter. [23:38] test1234: anything written by anyone would help. [23:38] test1234: so am i :-) as i'm using kubuntu (ubuntu with kde desktop), run Software Mangement (kPackageKit), look in Multimedia [23:39] mehlo: ok thanks mate [23:39] pozic: hehe :) [23:39] Is there an application which returns a list of KB/s per application sent and received? [23:40] test1234: there are PulseAudio Device Chooser, PulseAudio Manager, PulseAudio Volume Control... install them and there you are :-) [23:40] test1234: there is apt-file which is also useful. [23:40] test1234: apt-get install apt-file, IIRC. [23:40] hello folk, I ran "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:niemeyer/ppa" but now I can't remove it with "sudo ppa-purge ppa:niemeyer/ppa". Am I doing something wrong? [23:41] hi [23:41] pozic: what is the meaning of IIRC? and is "apt-file" a generic expression for the file you are suggesting i get? [23:41] test1234: in gnome, use Package Manager (Synaptic) [23:41] test1234: heh, you sound like a machine. [23:41] gzmask, if you have ppa-purge installed I think it would be "sudo ppa-purge ppa:niemeyer" [23:42] pozic: just trying to be as clear as possible. :) [23:43] ... the 11.04 beta completely deactivates my wlan card. is there anyone who knows how i connect my wlan card again? till today i only can connect it by pressing the wlan button inside windows [23:43] KNUBBIG: I did install ppa-purge 2.6 from deb. I tried that and still says "Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ppa:niemeyer ppa:niemeyer" [23:43] mehlo: the package manager seems quite complicated [23:43] Hello [23:43] hey guys i need some help, i have an ati radeon hd card i enabled i think xinerama and now the control center wont work [23:43] mehlo: im going to try and get the applications you suggested first. Thanks. [23:43] is there a way to undo that? [23:43] I need some help booting Windows OS instead of Ubuntu for a few minutes [23:44] test1234: you think so? in kde, it's very easy, just browse the archives and click on what you like :-) those apps could be found in your package manager under multimedia [23:45] this is in gnome 10.10 [23:45] 64 bit [23:45] I dont have a menu.lst file, how do I change what OS Grub boots? [23:45] adis34: restart and pick another boot option :-) [23:45] mehlo: interesting. perhaps i misunderstood the material. [23:45] how do i pick another boot option [23:46] No matter what I change in Boot Manager, it still boots Ubuntu [23:46] gzmask, sorry, then I have no idea, maybe you can try updating ppa-purge and install it from the official repositories but honestly I've got no idea [23:46] itunes doesn't work via wine here. [23:46] test1234: when in doubt, google ubuntuforums on pulse audio [23:46] KNUBBIG: thanks for trying. I will just remove the sources.list.d file then, should work [23:47] gzmask, that's ballsy :) === jay is now known as Guest86184 [23:48] gzmask, I just tried, sudo ppa-purge ppa:niemeyer/ppa works fine for me [23:48] How do I change what OS to boot, if I dont have a menu.lst file to change [23:48] KNUBBIG: might be I am being linked to an outdated version of ppa-purge. removing the files works too [23:49] gzmask, okay :) the newest version is 0.2.8 for me [23:49] Adis34, in grub2 its /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:49] oh thank you [23:50] What can I use to test read/write/throughput of a USB-HDD and a HDD? [23:51] is there a log that i can view on my machine to monitor all network traffic and all requests to access my machine? [23:52] i have a problem guys, my normal nickname(which is registered on here) is saying it is already in use [23:52] MethedMan, no, but you can try tcpdump or wireshark [23:52] hi all [23:52] Adis34, but you should edit /etc/default/grub to change the default boot entry [23:52] goguy, /msg nickserv help [23:52] hi all [23:52] OHAI GUISE [23:53] pfifo i cant identify because it kicks that name from use [23:53] A random question, but has anyone dealt with www.luxuryvps.com before? Heard a couple good things but thought id ask around before i order anything [23:53] automatically says its already in use [23:53] goguy, ask in #help might be a network issue [23:53] or try /whois'ing your default nick :) [23:53] nvm there we go [23:53] Hey Guys... Im kinda on a PPPOE connection that uses My Lan with a specific mac address that i have... and im new to ubuntu.. any advices at all? [23:54] well [23:54] its a network issue [23:54] KNBUBBIG how do I know what number to change "setdefault 0" to? === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [23:54] Adis34, I always counted for it :| [23:54] i will ask in #help thxs [23:54] what do you mean? [23:54] i have wireshark. is tcpdump better/easier? [23:55] MethedMan, tcpdump is NOT easier [23:55] Adis34, I had Ubuntu, Ubuntu restore, Memtest, Memtest console and Windows and wanted it to be Windows so I had to set it to 4 [23:55] MethedMan, no, tcpdump is cli [23:55] Adis34, I just counted all GRUB entries on boot and then set the correct value [23:55] I dont see Windows Vista on here though [23:56] Adis34, your GRUB-2 doesn't detect your Windows? That's not good :x [23:56] I guess not [23:56] MethedMan, are you really interested in monitoring all traffic or do you just want to monitor a few opened ports? [23:56] Can you access your windows partitions from within Ubuntu? [23:57] KNUBBIG, yes [23:57] Using testdisk I can [23:57] edbian, sorry, it was meant as a question towards Adis34 [23:57] Adis34: try sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo update-grub [23:57] KNUBBIG, oh, haha [23:57] Otherwise it wont let me mount it, or force mount [23:58] Adis34: you're on a live cd? [23:58] geus: i am interested in monitoring all traffic mainly for academic purposes. i just want to learn about the capabilities here. [23:58] No [23:58] My computer couldn't boot at all, so I had to dload Ubuntu to recover my files [23:58] MethedMan, why isnt wireshark suitable to your needs? [23:58] Got it, wireshark works fine then === goguy is now known as T_N_T [23:59] so I how do I get the display calibrator to remember my settings and initiate at boot up? [23:59] geus: thank you [23:59] pfifo: i don't know how to use it yet. just downloaded it about 4 hours ago. [23:59] how do I update from beta1 to beta2?
