[01:27] pfifo, ah ok, thanks for help, trying one last thing at bottom of this page - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/430272 [01:27] Ubuntu bug 430272 in upstart (Ubuntu) "karmic boot hung after /scripts/init-bottom" [Undecided,Fix released] [01:28] hehe I cant try it or I'll disconnect from this room.. is there a known issue with wireless and 10.10? [01:28] multipass_, seems to be for karmic, but its worth a shot [01:29] do I need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop to get my borders back? [01:29] or is there a simpler way? [01:31] gaelfx, what borders? [01:31] hi [01:32] OHAI toad__ [01:32] pfifo: the ones with the control buttons, close, mini, maxi [01:32] hello [01:32] whats good [01:32] gaelfx, look in your themes settings see if theres anything it can do to restore them. [01:33] pfifo: I'll look at the customize options, thanks [01:34] My ubuntu 10.04 can't connect to a wireless network [01:34] are your drivers installed correctly? [01:34] alex___ I'm having the same issue with 10.10 [01:35] Extra-Titanian I'm a noob! how do i check? [01:35] are the two ubuntu versions installed on the same computer? [01:35] i need an older version of gfceu where can i get it? [01:37] quick question, everytime I unplug my laptop, ubuntu shuts down [01:37] your battery is kaput [01:38] Extra-Titanian is your cooling fan running? [01:38] Extra-Titanian: ubuntu or the whole laptop? [01:38] Extra-Titanian, disable stuff in power options, it thinks your battery is broke and goes critical [01:38] Dr_willis:Plz tell me any solution to retrieve my flash free space [01:38] anybody able to help me create a bridge in 10.10? [01:38] I cant transfer file from my ipod touch to ubuntu. my ipod opens like a usb disk, and I see files, I can copy, but the copy process never ends! hoe to fix it?? [01:39] hi [01:39] cooling fan works, laptop is still pretty new [01:39] yabuk: this will be done through a software. [01:40] Icant use wirless conection on ubunto via vmware [01:40] someone could help? [01:40] the laptop goes into shutdown, like it does when i type shutdown, what's funny is, if it's not plugged in, everything works fine [01:40] apocaliptica61: use VirtualBox - it will allow you to bridge your wireless connection. [01:40] could tell me how? [01:41] Extra-Titanian, I have a somewhat similar problem where it seems to hibernate or something, but it doesnt completely shutdown [01:41] zee313: what software? [01:41] that's weird [01:41] good thing it boots fast i guess [01:41] yabuk: lets allow me to check in my system [01:42] Extra-Titanian, like i said, simply disable shutting down in the power options and it wont shutdown [01:42] Back. [01:43] shutdown's been disabled since i did the install, still does it [01:43] thx i am installing virtualbox [01:43] Extra-Titanian, are you sure? there a "on battery" tab too [01:43] yep [01:43] Question: anyone know how to make Nautilus my default file manager in xubuntu? Right now, it's Thunar. [01:44] it was like, the second thing i did after i installed [01:44] whats that tool name that makes your current ubuntu 'install' to a remastered ubuntu CD? [01:44] Extra-Titanian, then perhaps its your laptop [01:45] which is weird because it all worked perfectly under 7. [01:45] I'll have to recalibrate the battery tonight and see if that helps any [01:46] Extra-Titanian, I always disable acpi all together on my laptops, blacklisting acpi would probbally fix it, you might not like not having acpi tho. [01:46] steverino: nautilus is part of the gnome desktop :) if you try to use it in xfce your gonna be in for a world of headaches [01:46] yabuk: you can use banshee media player. [01:47] haha, what'll be the downsides of disabling it? [01:47] zee313: thank you, i'm going try banshee [01:48] NictraSavios: Oh . . . I actually installed it via synaptic and launch it in the terminal. Am I going to mess things up? [01:48] yabuk, banshee is really quite good. I like it better than Rhythmbox. [01:48] Extra-Titanian, no debug info, if your battery runs out of charge it simply shuts off instantly. === derp is now known as Zalgo [01:50] meh, it only lasts like an hour anyway, I'll go give it a shot [01:50] thanks for the help [01:50] yyeah [01:50] steverino: I'm not saying you can't do it. Its going to be very inconsistant and spit out a billion errors tho. its also gonna rely on major parts of gnome themes and icon sets, so your gonna need them. Youll need to change a ton of stuff to get it working, the likes of which scare me. And ive made an arch Linux system with xfce... So you know your inffor some pain :P But, you can do it. It will not be easy... if you want me to help you, [01:50] ill open a private convo for 3 reasons. One) this isnt the Xubuntu irc. 2) theres alot of work involved. [01:51] sterverino: 3) i think the mods are alredy mad at me for going off-topic a few times lmao. [01:51] I hav 16GB Kingston Data Traveler. I made it a bootable by using unetbootin no my flash is showing its capacity only 2 GB. Plz solve my problem. How to format it? [01:53] zee313: you made a big persistance file didnt you? [01:53] is there anyway to adjust the time that sudo allows between calls before asking for password again? [01:53] pfifo: Yes, in the sudoers file. default is 15 minutes. [01:54] i just downloand ann isntall virtualbox the question is what i need to do run it ?? [01:54] NictraSavios, but do you know the line? My sudoers doesnt have it commented [01:54] what version of ubuntu are you running? 10.04 8.04? [01:55] apocaliptica61: Read the virtual box website, they tell you everything. www.virtualbox.org (I think, might be .com) [01:55] I've got a website on a server at my workplace, on port 8080, with a public, static IP. I could see the website using the local, in-building IP. Now that I'm back at my house, I can still ssh to that machine, but I get connection timeouts when i try to look for the website. Anyone Know what could be wrong? [01:55] ok thx [01:55] (All ports for that IP are forwarded to that machine, btw) [01:55] pfifo: hit the terminal, enter visudo (or if you want EDITOR=gedit visudo) [01:55] pfifo: i dont know the exact line, gimme sec. [01:56] NictraSavios: Now I want to format it but here in ubuntu after format it shows my flash capacity only 2 GB. I want only how to recover my flash's original capacity???? [01:56] zaery, you sure apache is bound to the right address? [01:57] pfifo: its not in there by default. add this line to the end: Defaults timestamp_timeout=0 , where 0 is the number of minutes. [01:57] pfifo: yup [01:57] zee313: Oh , i had this problem with my 4gb baby blue. I know how to fix it, i have a problem on how to explain it to you... do you have a windows partition or full ubuntu? [01:57] NictraSavios, thanks [01:57] pfifo: No problem :) [01:58] zee313: go to system->administration->disk utility. select your flash drive on the left. what do the partitions look like? [01:58] zee313: do you can save videos from you ipod touch with banshee? [01:58] <_pg_> i have a script that enables 2 finger scroll. when i launch it in terminal it works. i cannot get it to run as a startup item tho. i have added it to the list and i have marked it execuatable via the checkbox in nautilus and chmod a+x [01:58] zaery: ive had this problem before, i used a special hp formating tool in windows to do it, disk utility and the stock windows formater couldnt do it. [01:59] zaery, can you telnet to it on 8080 [01:59] which version of ubuntu was running most ? 10.04 8.04? [01:59] <_pg_> add this line to the start of the script: sleep 30 (or 60) [01:59] pfifo: nope [01:59] NictraSavios: zaery: i hav my PC dual boot . I have windows XP as well as ubuntu 10.10 [01:59] <_pg_> that will make it wait before executing. [02:00] <_pg_> NictraSavios: is that seconds? [02:00] my rythmbox doesnt display song lengths for mp3s (dont know about other formats), what is the problem? [02:00] zaery, sounds like you have a firewall blocking it somewhere [02:00] zaery: okay, gimme a second ill upload a tool to media fire, it will solve it kay? [02:00] <_pg_> Yep :) [02:00] <_pg_> NictraSavios: do i need /bin/bash or anything in there? [02:00] <_pg_> its just 4 lines that all start with synclient [02:01] <_pg_> #!/bin/bash should always be your first line in a bash script [02:01] <_pg_> what is to comment out in bash [02:01] <_pg_> \ [02:01] NictraSavios: a tool for zee313's flash drive issue, or a tool for my port blocked issue? [02:01] ok, I'm having a really weird problem here. first, my panels take about 3+ minutes to appear after login, then my window borders are completely gone, and then when I open terminal, it takes about a minute to show up and it has some crazy garbage and then 'File name too long' before I even enter anything. what's going on with my install? (it's a fresh one) [02:02] so if i ahve undesrtand well we cant use wirless conextion on ubunto via vmware but only via virtualbox? [02:02] zaery: for zee. [02:03] zee313: http://www.mediafire.com/?exg1a1btybjlbub [02:03] zee313: Windows program :) [02:04] gaelfx: So.... how much time do you got. Thats gonna take a while to fix. I have no idea what you did... but i have a few ideas. Your better off on a re-install. [02:04] apocaliptica61: Vmware on linux kinda sucks i must say, your better off using virtual box [02:05] <_pg_> coment out in bash is #. [02:05] <_pg_> coment out in bash is # , no "." , just the # [02:05] NictraSavios: this is the reinstall, it was supposed to fix this problem [02:06] Can anyone comment on what the best/easiest way to setup Ubuntu server as a VPN concentrator is? [02:06] gaelfx: you formated your partitions before (or durrin) reinstall? [02:06] mrproper: I dont know much about VPN, ill get a friend to help you tho. Ill call him over now. (hes only 10 steps away) [02:07] NictraSavios: only /, not /home [02:07] NictraSavios: Agree... I gave up on VMWare and switched to VBox. I have a windows server running as a guest with no problems. [02:07] how can i make current ubuntu 'install' to a remastered ubuntu CD? [02:07] NictraSavios: Thanks. [02:07] mrproper: He sent me a book mark > http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=132029 [02:08] gaelfx: Hmm. Id try both. For that matter, if your gonna bother with partitons... I would set up one extended partition with a 200mb /boot , a 10-20gb / and a * /home [02:08] NictraSavios: Wow that seems pretty simple actually [02:08] RealOpty, yes [02:09] NictraSavios: what should I throw in the /boot? livecd? [02:09] pfifo, how? [02:09] RealOpty, theres a package for it [02:09] mrproper: I didnt even open it :P me and 7 roomates share a cluster... 7 computers hooked up to one big RAID Harddrive. , hes the network guy :P [02:10] NictraSavios: Oh nice. I was going to set up OpenSWAN or something but this looks easier [02:10] gealfx: when your installing ubuntu go to "manual" partitong, mount /boot in the 200mb one, / in the 10-20gb one and /home in the Whatever one. [02:11] hey. i was using ubuntu 10.10 tonight, and my laptop experienced massive slowdown. i restarted it, and i get to the screen where you normally log in, but my profile is not showing, so i can not log on. does anyone know whats happened? i would be forever in your debt. :D [02:11] gealfx: since your gonna bother with a reinstall, i would read up on "MBR partitions" it helps to have seperate /boot /home and / ones. All in a big extented no less [02:11] NictraSavios: yeah, I know how to do it, but I just don't understand how to use a /boot partition [02:12] upgrading lucid to natty: good idea, bad, neutral? [02:12] !natty [02:12] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [02:12] good [02:12] NictraSavios: ah, ok. is there anything else useful I can put in there like a recovery iso or something? [02:12] gaelfx: Ubuntu mounts grub and its images there. It means, even if you screw your system, it wont be unbootable. [02:12] natty is awesome [02:12] RealOpty, I cant seem to find the right quesstion to ask google to get to more information [02:12] but how do i install gimp from the terminal [02:13] pfifo, is it Reconstructor? [02:13] hi, i downloaded the Red Eclipse FPS game from here(source file for linux) http://sourceforge.net/projects/redeclipse/files/redeclipse_1.0/ . how to install it? [02:13] daniel: I meant upgrading lucid *directly* to natty from lucid without going through Maverick. I have bad bandwidth and a download cap. [02:13] daniel: sudo apt-get install gimp [02:13] daniel: sudo apt-get install gimp gaelfx: Yes you can, now that you mention it, i myself keep a "puppy linux" in my /boot for recovery. Its a little more complex, because you have to install puppy, then reinstall ubuntu.... but it dose work. [02:13] thx [02:13] NictraSavios: I normally separate / and /home, but I've never used /boot before, so I just wonder if there are any other neat little tricks I might do with it, so maybe I should make it larger? [02:14] anyone? :( [02:14] NictraSavios: do you just put an iso in there or what? [02:14] kandinski, well mabey hop from oen to the other but unity is awesome and totoally worth it [02:15] gaelfx: But thats geting into a complexity. For your average user, like yourself. Its mainly used for multiboot setups. Say if you have Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Windows, and you wanna switch out ubuntu for open suse, but ubuntu is where grub is... well you can just format your /home and / and install suse there, and your bootloader remains untouched as long as you dont overwrite it. [02:15] NictraSavios: ok, fair enough, I'll just keep it simple I guess [02:16] gaelfx:http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2007/11/02/why-people-insist-on-using-boot [02:16] RealOpty, no there is an ubuntu official script for it that is really broken in 9.04 that i tried once and didnt work and after wards learned how to just create a custom livecd which is a better idea to begin with. [02:16] milkdee72: sorry i didnt see, what was your porblem. [02:16] milkdee72: problem* [02:17] NictraSavios: Would you ask him if pptp uses split tunneling or no? [02:17] pfifo, i just read up on that too. but nvm i know the solution im gonna take to my issue now. ty [02:17] milkdee72: nvm, ohh that. Hmm... i got an idea for you. Press Cntl+Alt+f1 and logg in, youll be at a pure command line tho. [02:17] NictraSavios: I was adjusting audio seetings for Skype, and I encountered massive slowdown. I did a hard reboot, and now when I reach the log in screen, my profile doesn't show up, making it impossible to log in. any suggestions? [02:17] thanks, ill try iy [02:18] milkdee72: press cntl+alt+f7 to get back to a GUI. [02:18] NictraSavios: Actually looks like the documents address that [02:18] mrproper: Oh really, never thought to check, wanted to make sure he didnt brick gdm first. [02:18] *it [02:19] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:19] milkdee72: mrproper: ill let you take over from here then mrproper :P [02:19] brightsparks System>Preferances>Keyboard [02:19] is there any advantage to logical partitions beyond getting more than 4 partitions on a single drive? [02:20] gaelfx, no its actuall going to tak up a bit more space too [02:20] gaelfx: I currently have a Windows 7, A fat32 shared for all my personal files and a ntfs for disk imges. Inside an extended i have .... [02:21] gealfx: 1 swap, 3 20gb / partitions and one 100gb /home. [02:21] NictraSavios, not for my session but the little menu below the password field at login. [02:21] gealfx: allows me to have 3 Linix distros and one windows... so theres an advantage.... :) [02:22] i managed to log in with the terminal, but when i switch back to the gui, my profile isnt showing up. thank you for getting me this far, im moderatly new to linux [02:22] brightspark: That will fix that aswell :) === michaelh1 is now known as michaelh1|away [02:22] NictraSavios, I use 3 20's and a large home, all primary and have a nice swapfile on home [02:22] NictraSavios: I suppose, but this machine is pretty dedicated to my TV, so that's not so important for me :P [02:22] brightspark: It might be in administration, im in Kubuntu right now... so i cant check. [02:22] pfifo: is it a noticeable difference? or just megs? [02:23] gaelfx, i think it is 8MB per partition [02:23] pfifo: 8mb for what? [02:23] apparently.whats happening is pulse audio looping, making my login hang. anyone have the commant line for uninstalling pulseaudio for me? once again, I am a supernoob. === michaelh1|away is now known as michaelh1 [02:23] NictraSavios, it adds them but doesn't remove them. [02:23] milkdee72: try sudo apt-get purge pulse [02:24] *command, i suck at typing as well [02:24] milkdee72: try sudo apt-get purge pulse-audio, and the like. [02:24] NictraSavios, for a logical partition [02:24] brightspark: reboot. they should be gone. [02:24] milkdee72: I believe it's sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio no hyphen [02:25] brightspark: or if your really geeky , you can stop the gdm service. If you dont know how, you dont need to know :P. [02:25] edbian: Thanks :) ive never used pulse so i had no idea. [02:26] NictraSavios: sure [02:26] thanks again for all the help, everyone. i keep getting an error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo apt-get --configure -a' to correct the problem" [02:27] NictraSavios, they aren't gone after a week's worth of reboots.

[02:31] NictraSavios: I navigated to the folder by using terminal. but what to do next? [02:31] ./configure && make && sudo make install [02:32] Your termainals gonna spit out messages at you like an angrey preschooler. [02:33] NictraSavios: checkinstall is a better solution, a deb pckg is easier to remove [02:33] NictraSavios: after extracting and navigating inside the directory, when i run the command you told, i got 'bash: ./configure: No such file or directory' [02:33] almoxarife: never heard of it :P Always been taught to use those commands, i even got em set on an alias. [02:34] almoxarife: i always just moved the source folder to /usr/src when i was done, then if i wanted to remove it, went to it and ran "sudo make uninstalll" [02:34] NictraSavios: ubuntu package 'checkinstall' [02:34] I hate to start this way, but I know I should google...is there any way to fix plymouth with the nvidia drivers? or will I always get a crappy 8-bit greeting when I boot up?

[02:45] dd214: You dont need one bro! This is linux , ubuntu your talkin about. Antivirus is windows only .... as Jordan made ubbottu say. [02:45] I find that hard to believe, passive thinking? [02:45] hmm, does clonezilla.org work for you NictraSavios ? [02:45] Nomadicus, any reason you compiling over using the one in the repos? [02:45] ledd: /bin/bash [02:46] but Linux servers get hacked just as often as windows.. [02:46] pfifo: the repo will not install. [02:46] hello, when I do assign static ip for eth0 (via /etc/interfaces, I use IPv4), but when I restart network, do ifconfig -a, I just get inet6 addr and not inet addr, is this normal? [02:46] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:46] dd214: No viruses does not mean no vulnerabilities. [02:46] I'm new to LNX, but there is even AV for MAC [02:46] dd214: We use sudo, so viruses cant do more then clear our your home folder, and even thats hard. Want proof? Go to wikipedia and look up "Windows viruses" and "Linux viruses" Note windows has to be catagorized.... linux all fit in one paragraph. [02:46] Nomadicus, maybe you should try to fix that problem instead. [02:47] hello [02:47] Jordan_U ic.. === lance_ is now known as Guest17820 [02:47] dd214: And on top of all that, There 1973487658735638753 diffrent linux, trying to make a virus for em is like trying to make a shirt that all blondes will wear... impossible. [02:47] pfifo; I tried . . . continuing with is like going backwards for me now. [02:48] dd214: take it from a white hat.... Linux is too much a pain to make viruses for. And the people who do... well my hat goes off to em. [02:48] Nomadicus, you need the kernel-headers and build-essentials to build that package [02:48] anyone here who can help me get dual monitors running in seperate xscreens mode on natty narwhale? only twinview is useful atm [02:48] !virus | dd214 [02:48] dd214: 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 [02:48] !natty | skjeggen [02:48] skjeggen: 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. [02:48] skjeggen: I can :) I run a tri screen currentl. [02:48] Oh forgot.... yea better go to Ubuntu+1 [02:48] Now that I got the AV settled, what about a good backup? I'm not running RAID, but running a VMWare workstation for my primary Win dev env.. so, I'm covered there, but need something to restore my LNX env if it goes tits up/ [02:48] i will tnx :) [02:49] !ohmy | dd214 [02:49] dd214: 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. [02:49] pfifo: the same error exisys [02:49] dd214: I like deja dup personally. [02:50] dd214: Or when you get really advanced... Look into installing linux mints "mint backup" .... its a pretty decent.. but the Ubuntu support will disown you for using it. [02:50] NictraSavios thx [02:50] mahfrk, you installed libsdl1.2-dev? if so type make clean, and then make, and patebin as much of the end of the output as you can [02:50] dd214; once you start to understand how Linux works you will realize that there are many fundamental differences that minimize if not eliminate major concerns. [02:51] hello [02:51] hello [02:51] best of [02:51] ? [02:51] what's a good desktop recorder with ZOOM and stop/start [02:51] OHAI! [02:51] Well i gotta be off... Classes tommorow... Also gonna try a gentoo install... hmm. anyway, cyahs. [02:51] is there a channel for networking discussion on freenode? [02:52] NictraSavios: if "Ubuntu support will disown you for" doing something, perhaps you shouldn't be suggesting it in an Ubuntu support channel ;P [02:52] pfifo; ok, once I install them, I build the driver package again then try to install correct? [02:52] van7hu: ##networking [02:52] pfifo: yes. i installed and done make clean. but now the output http://pastebin.com/35uHWDWR [02:52] thanks rww [02:52] Nomadicus, you might need a few other packages, installing is alot more complicated [02:52] rww: Oh dont worry, i dont really care who hates me :) I'm alredy banned from #linuxmint because i stole there tools, put em in ubuntu :P... LMAO. [02:53] Anyway, bye. [02:53] l_r: record it now works. [02:53] есть русские? [02:53] можете в ЛС помочь [02:53] Nomadicus, is there anything for the gnome desktop? [02:54] Nomadicus, does recorditnow does zoom by itself or needs compiz? [02:54] !ru | r1za [02:54] r1za: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [02:55] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [02:55] !vi|van7hu [02:55] van7hu, please see my private message [02:55] Nomadicus roger that, I've been running LNX for years as a firewall, "Smoothwall" or "IPCop", but never as a primary workstation. Since virtualization, I've been able to make that change.. esp since trying out LNX (Mandrake, RedHat.. desktops when I tried them in since 1995).. but this Maverick is the sweetest thing I've ever seen [02:55] no im ban for russian canale [02:55] pfifo: well . . . I have already been at it a couple of days . . . I might as well keep on trying. Perhaps someone on #linux could provide some guidance. [02:55] I let my momma run Ubuntu, it's that good [02:55] mahfrk, thet isnt the same error :) that one is libsdl-image1.2-dev and i bet you the next one is libsdl-ttf2.0-dev and libsdl-gfx1.2-dev after that so might as well oneliner it ;) [02:56] r1za: #ubuntu is English-language only. Being banned from #ubuntu-ru doesn't exempt you from that :( [02:56] Nomadicus, compiling it is easy, its configuring X to use it that is harder. [02:56] mhh? [02:56] oh ok, go on :) [02:56] hello, install 11.04 64 bit in virtualbox (host is 10.10 64 bit) [02:56] pfifo: okay.hehe. please wait for me. i will install those and come back [02:56] hi, is runlevel N 2 init 2? I tried changing telinit 5 so gdm3 starts but runlevel keeps saying N 2 [02:56] but after install, at startup it hangs [02:56] oneliner, ohh wow, sorry [02:57] heh, nevermind, its in the namesake so its ok ;) [02:57] just sits there after it says checking battery state [OK] [02:57] (i press esc at load screen to see console) [02:57] any ideas what i can do? [02:57] l_r: Take a look at this: [ http://recorditnow.sourceforge.net/index.html ]. I have been using it. [02:57] id hate to be named sudo or apt [02:58] pfifo: or yum [02:58] Nomadicus, do you have compiz installed? [02:58] Blue1, id never get highlighted, not in any fedora chans [02:59] anyone? [02:59] /MSG NiCK INFO stOrmBlast [02:59] just switched over to xubuntu-desktop, cleaned out the ubuntu packages and reinstalling what i use now... [02:59] DrArkaneX: I put my mammy on Ubuntu also. She loves it. It is great to get the folks involved! [02:59] my primary reason to get 11.04 is that I'm an author for the open source RTS megaglest [02:59] and I just want to esnure it works ok on there [03:00] softcoder: /join #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion and support [03:00] ok [03:00] pfifo: no doubt . . . X is a MUGG! [03:00] are there any remot desktop options that are much more friendly for a "non-heavy" 3d computer? [03:00] my laptop can't keep up with the vnc connection and it used to not be this way with previous versions of ubuntu 10.10 [03:00] I hooked my usb up to my comp; I've used it for quite a while but yesterday it decided to be read only...anyway, I typed in some commands to make read and write...it would for about 5 seconds allow me to do something then go back to read only...any ideas? [03:01] do i need anything installed to do smb://192.168.1.115/Download in terminal/ [03:01] itilious, ssh is perfect for that [03:01] Anyone know how to disable the 'pretty' boot logo? [03:01] l_r: Yeah, RecordItNow is able to capture all the compiz effects. [03:01] I want to watch as each service is started. [03:01] Aftermath: i don't think smb://* would ever do anything in terminal [03:01] and when a disk check is done, I actually want to see the statistics. [03:01] quentusrex, remove 'splash' from the kernel line [03:01] pardon me, I meant to type *psp. I'm not sure if it's psp specific or what (any other time a usb device was read only I could change it and it didn't switch back within 5 secs) [03:01] thanks pfifo [03:01] itilious: are you connecting to or from the laptop? [03:01] pfifo: now http://pastebin.com/C0JxvtG0 [03:02] softcoder: What was your inquisition? [03:02] Im doing it in a run dialogue sorry ben64 [03:02] Nomadicus, i meant to ask: does the zoom feature require compiz to work with recorditnow? [03:02] http://lifehacker.com/#!288033/mount-a-windows-shared-folder-in-linux [03:02] is what i am trying [03:02] Khisanth, yes [03:02] mahfrk, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev [03:03] the laptop has onboard video and can't keep up with remote desktop use [03:03] Aftermath: thats from 2007 [03:03] Aftermath: you could just go to Places -> Network [03:03] i know but i assumed it still worked [03:03] l_r: I don't know, it does work though. [03:03] Im on xfce, not gnome [03:04] i guess ill switch back to gnome [03:05] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [03:05] i just install x11 and it seems to run smoother tho [03:05] usually you already have x11 if you are using vnc ... [03:06] Khisanth, does x11 come with 10.10? [03:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565&highlight=remote+desktop [03:06] thats where i got the guide from to do this [03:07] itilious: Don't use "x11" as a shorthand for "x11vnc". They are very different things. [03:07] should my swap partition be a logical or extended partition ?????? [03:07] what's this? [03:07] my mistake [03:07] my usb device insists on being read only no matter how many times I try changing it. for a few seconds it will revert or at least appear to revert back to read and write, but then it becomes read only again. I tested it out on a windows machine; it works like it has always worked... anyone else exp this prob before? [03:07] pfifo, where is that kernel line? it isn't in /boot/grub/menu.lst any more. [03:08] quentusrex: /etc/default/grub [03:08] quentusrex: run sudo update-grub when you're done editing it [03:08] RealOp: It can be either logical or primary. [03:08] how many [03:08] quentusrex, in grub2 its /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:08] is it possible to have x11vnc server run a script upon user connection? [03:08] can usb-creator use dvd iso's or only cd's? [03:08] Jordan_U, I understand that but [03:08] pfifo: changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg are overwritten on kernel upgrade or other invocations of update-grub [03:08] Jordan_U, the default setup is via 'extended' part. [03:09] Jordan_U, honestly whats the diff when using a extended partitions? [03:09] =/ [03:09] RealOp: an extended partition is a container for one or more logical partitions. [03:09] ? [03:09] ? [03:09] yeqiang: #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux. [03:09] rww, ah ok ty [03:09] rww, yeah i know, but I always just change it there, never had any problems as it gets formatted on reinstall anyway. [03:10] 没人用中文？ [03:10] rww, I don't see splash in that file. I'm trying to get back to the verbose boot up. [03:10] yeqiang: specifically, it's the English-language technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux. [03:10] !cn | yeqiang [03:10] yeqiang: 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 [03:10] ok [03:10] quentusrex: It's on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line for me. [03:11] can any one help me whis hardy [03:11] pfifo: now http://pastebin.com/vzdex0GK anything wrong? waht to do next? [03:11] i have 2 qwests [03:13] pfifo: When helping others please don't recommend editing the grub.cfg directly as most users want their changes to be persistant and are using update-grub to keep their grub.cfg up to date (the default in Ubuntu) rather than writing it manually. [03:13] mahfrk, type one final make and then `echo $?` if it spits out "0" then your ready to play. you can just run it from that folder unless you want to install it. [03:13] Jordan_U, ok [03:14] nabbend erst mal [03:15] pfifo: echo $ outputs '$' [03:15] hello all i embeded a terminal on my desktop using compiz so where would the bash history be stroed for it ? [03:15] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [03:15] is it possible to have a vnc viewer have less display resources sent over connection? [03:15] mahfrk, `echo $?` you have to do it directly after make, it will tell you what error code make exited with, 0 is no error [03:16] k... was trying to run the commands again to see if it actually goes back to read and write. I'm assuming this is an error. "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/psp': Read-only file systemchmod: changing permissions of `/media/psp': Read-only file system" [03:16] oops, didn't mean to paste that twice [03:16] itilious: it could be made to require less bandwidth [03:16] pfifo: yes. it is returning zero. now how to run the application? is it installed now? [03:16] itilious: it depends on what you are willing to give up :) [03:16] anyway, apart from formatting it (that seems to be a really popular answer on forums) what could be done to set this device back to read and write? [03:17] mahfrk, its not installed, but if you only have it for personal use you dont have to install it, you can just run it from there [03:18] pfifo: for some reason I don't seem to be able to find kernel-headers for kernel 2.6.33-29-realtime (x86_64) or build-essentials, perhaps I should just take a break and come back to this in a while. [03:18] I'm pulling my hair looking at the ubuntu forums. I can't find a single thread describing this issue that actually has a fix [03:19] Nomadicus, sounds like you need a apt-get update, maybe its called linux-headers [03:19] We can lose our minds together . . . right now . . . right here! [03:19] =p [03:19] getting there mate [03:19] Nomadicus: it's called build-essential [03:20] pfifo: thanks a lot man for all the help. now one doubt. how do you know all the dependencies to install? [03:20] mahfrk, im a programmer [03:20] pfifo: okay. how can i identify it from the make output? [03:21] hi [03:21] no one ? [03:21] mahfrk, the output will say your missing whatever.h and you find out what package whatever.h comes in [03:21] i installed windows 7 for an app that i cant get WINE to start, when i did i thought they would have a bootloader that can load a previous install of 10.10 [03:21] how do i get back to my ubuntu? [03:22] It appears as though build-essential is already the newest version. [03:22] what's the easiest way to monitor each cores temperature on a dual-core intel machine with conky? [03:22] pfifo: how to find that specific package name for each .h file? [03:22] Can somoene tell me where the config files for the new IR stack in maverick are located? Only the enter and back buttons are working on my remote. [03:22] pfifo: is there any manual available for learning these things? [03:22] utunbu: reinstall grub [03:22] !fixgrub | utunbu [03:22] utunbu: 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 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [03:23] hello i have install ubunto via virtual box [03:23] mahfrk, normally they make a ./configure script that takes care of that kind of stuff, the developers of this game are just lazy [03:23] and i cant use my wirless card [03:23] Lo [03:23] some can help? [03:23] what's the easiest way to monitor each cores temperature on a dual-core intel machine with conky? [03:23] brb [03:23] !conky [03:23] mahfrk, i usually resort to googleing whatever.h but after 5 years, they are all memorized [03:24] pfifo: where can kernel-headers be found? [03:24] Nomadicus, apt-cache search headers [03:24] somene know why i can use my wireless cars in ubunto via virtuelbox?? [03:24] can autocad run on ubuntu wine s/w??? [03:24] Interesting? [03:25] apocaliptica61, you could do it via vmware as well bbut you would have to do alot of configuring of your network by hand [03:25] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [03:26] mahfrk: You almost never need to install something from source: http://www.playdeb.net/software/Red%20Eclipse [03:26] i was on vmware and someone told me that i need to do it under virtuelbox [03:26] it doesnt matter [03:26] windows 7 is better anyways [03:26] apocaliptica61, its alot easier todo it like that since its all donw for you automatically [03:26] brightspark: probably you can just delete them from System>preferences>keyboard and then under "layouts" [03:27] Is there an IRW equivilent in Maverick's integrated IR module? [03:27] you mean via virtualbox? [03:27] apocaliptica61, thats right [03:27] hello guys [03:27] i am on virtual box but both card are wired [03:27] even my wirless [03:27] i have a question [03:28] JoeRitchie: Just ask it :) [03:28] it apear like word [03:28] wird [03:28] hydrox24, not for my session but the little menu below the password field at login. [03:28] whoa [03:28] why did the line adressed to me just appear in orange [03:28] ? === matt_ is now known as Guest17242 [03:28] apocaliptica61, thats right, vbox is VIRTUAL hardware [03:29] apocaliptica61: Virtual machines use virtual hardware. The cards that you see within a guest running virtualbox are not real physical hardware. [03:29] JoeRitchie, Intense. Isn't it. [03:29] so what i need to do to see it like wireless card [03:29] i need to use it for aircrakc-ng [03:29] just trolling [03:29] apocaliptica61, it cant do that [03:29] anyways [03:30] know any good channel for this? [03:30] hello [03:30] * cxo trawls for trolls [03:30] so i need to install ubunto on hard drive no? [03:30] no via virtual machin [03:30] !guidelines | JoeRitchie [03:30] JoeRitchie: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:30] apocaliptica61, if all you want todo is run airocrack, you can get the airocrack livecd [03:30] k am out [03:30] bye [03:31] really i dont understand what you want to say === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [03:32] apocaliptica61, if your intention is to install ubuntu and use it for airocrack, then you need to install ubuntu. if you dont want to install ubuntu, you can just run airocrack on a CD [03:32] back. I'm still not having any luck making my usb device go back to read/write. any help?

[03:34] but I can't su anymore as i used to when using user/login [03:34] the device worked fine a few days ago; it still works fine under windows. however, in ubuntu it refuses to revert back to read/write [03:34] sup all [03:34] can I change that setting for OpenSSH key authenticication?

[03:35] Stef: How are you trying to use su? Remember that for running commands as root you should use 'sudo' as Ubuntu has no root password. Using 'su foo' for switching to some other user 'foo' should work fine though. [03:35] I've been through the forums and have been trying every alleged solution I come across, but still nothing. <- frustrated [03:36] even sudo -i [03:36] with my actual config I can login as user ABC and then su to root [03:36] townes: What filesystem? What error do you get when you try to mount it? [03:36] when I use OpenSSH with keys, I can't su...simply ignored [03:37] doesn anyone have an idea how to fix grub that doesn't see NTFS partition (fdisk does) grub-update just finds ext and last fat32 (that i told him to mount during instalation) [03:37] Stef: It's normal for su to root to only work from a physical tty. As having a root password set is not supported here though. Why can't you use sudo? [03:38] fdisk -l finds them all [03:38] !details | toneshifter [03:38] toneshifter: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:38] well there is probably not boot record on the ntfs partition, thats why [03:39] toneshifter: Specifically, you need to be more spcific about what you mean by "doesn't see". [03:39] Jordan_U, I believe my device uses fat or fat32, off the top of my head I don't know. I don't get any errors at all when mounting it [03:39] !grub [03:39] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[03:40] yeah, I'll get back to you in a min. need to step outside, but I'll be right back [03:41] i just assumed that during installation of lubuntu it will automatically set correct grub.conf [03:41] toneshifter: What OS is in /dev/sda1? What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [03:41] i mean it mounts it without problems but it doesnot show it at grub menu [03:42] Jordan_U /dev/sda1 = windows [03:42] Shubuntu, whaat is the exact problem? [03:42] when i boot into grub, there are 9 or 10 instances of Ubuntu [03:42] how do i fix that? [03:43] pfifo: when i create that private static ip and add the gateway as my eth0's gateway, everything goes wrong, i lose internet and i keep locking errors. [03:43] I hav a problem. with my 16GB Kingston Data Traveler. I used it as a bootable using uNetbootin . Now after format my flash is showing 2 GB Capacity instead of 16 GB???????????????????

[03:44] Jordan_U cant check os-prober i worked on this laptop remotely [03:44] Shubuntu, can you pastebin these errors? [03:44] zee313: You probably just created a 2Gb partition. You can only store stuff in a partition. Open gparted and look at it [03:44] zee313: reparition the usb key with Disk Utility [03:44] just trying to set a plan for tommorow what to do at all [03:45] edbian: yes, i'm editing /etc/network/interfaces and it's as simple as i described, in ubuntu 10.04 it was working just fine [03:45] so i'm guessing it's a 10.10 issue [03:45] utunbu: there is a package for each kernel in synaptic. Remove the ones you don't want. Do NOT remove them all [03:46] Shubuntu: what errors are you getting? [03:46] any ideas ? === matt__ is now known as LinuxHack3r [03:46] toneshifter: If Windows isn't listed at boot, it means it wasn't detected by os-prober. If it wasn't detected by os-prober then that almost always means that you don't actually have a bootable Windows install. os-prober searches for files that are needed for Windows to boot, if they are missing then Windows can't boot no matter what you do with grub. [03:46] pfifo: lockfile creation failed: exceeded maximum number of lock attempts === Breninho is now known as Teacher [03:47] edbian: as i explained i will lose all internet connection when i set the privateip's gateway to be eth0's gateway [03:47] toneshifter: The other possibility is that your Windows partition couldn't be mounted properly for some reason (so os-prober couldn't check for the aforementioned files). [03:47] Shubuntu: I'm not sure what is causing the problem [03:47] Shubuntu, make sure the lock file is writeable? Can you give me more of the output upto that point that really isnt what im looking for [03:47] Guest10049: Welcome to Ubuntu! [03:47] Jordan_U: okay. it's fat32. when I manually mount it, it doesn't give any ouput [03:47] Jordan_U i had an bootable windows install, during installation i did nothing to partition that windows was at, just set partitions for lubuntu at the other partition [03:47] ^xthecynic [03:47] pfifo: no other output === KM0201 is now known as IHATEMACS [03:48] and guys this is a problem of 10.10 [03:48] not 10.04 === Guest10049 is now known as thecynic [03:48] Shubuntu, what command did you run to generate that output? [03:48] i haven't even changed one setting [03:48] toneshifter: Did you delete any partitions recently? [03:48] just upgraded to 10.10 [03:48] pfifo: just trying to edit anything [03:49] nano whatever [03:49] Shubuntu, only in nano? [03:49] i did delete second partition (not the one that windows was on) and created a new ones by using that space [03:49] thecynic: here I am [03:49] LinuxHack3r: oh ok [03:49] but once again i didnt even touch the partition that windows was on [03:49] root@ark:~# nano /etc/pptpd.conf gave me: root@ark:~# lockfile creation failed: exceeded maximum number of lock attempts [03:49] According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3154546 I did ssh -X [my server] and then "firefox -no-remote" and it just complains that I didn't specify a display === rawoctane is now known as buttholesurfer [03:50] Shubuntu: You already have that file open with another process [03:50] its still listed at fdisk -l (and it even have boot) flag [03:50] toneshifter: Was that second partition a small ( 1 GiB or less ) partition labeled "system"? [03:50] How do i get firefox to run on my display, but run on my server? [03:50] great [03:50] edbian: that only and only and only happens when i do the gateway thing [03:50] toneshifter: Having the boot flag doesn't mean it's bootable. === buttholesurfer is now known as diluted [03:50] zaery: The machine you are on is the client. The machine firefox is on is the server. Does the client have a GUI installed? [03:50] thecynic: In terminal, you can always use tab to complete things. Once you get the mindset, you can copy, delete, move, install things, etc etc faster in terminal (especially when using tab to autocomplete) faster than you can navigate various GUI's. [03:50] and i lose all internet connection [03:50] i cannot ping anything [03:50] edbian: yup [03:51] LinuxHack3r: whatever yous ay [03:51] zaery: did you ssh with a capitol X ? [03:51] Jordan_U nope that was a full 30 GB partition, the one with 1GB or less (recovery) still exist to, [03:51] zaery: ssh -X you@computer ? [03:51] edbian: IIRC, yes, but lemme check [03:51] pfifo: It is still not installing, even after making sure that the kernel-headers and build-essentials are installed. I am going to try contacting the maintainers of the realtime kernel. I am using Lucid now because the same problem plus other driver issues happened with Mavrick using [03:51] . . . Nvidia drivers. [03:51] thecynic: Generally everyone here is pretty friendly, if you have any questions they'll be happy to answer [03:51] edbian, yup, "ssh -X zaery@zaery.net" [03:51] Shubuntu, ok lets back up, you can run a command or script to create this error condition, that is the script I want to see. [03:52] LinuxHack3r: aight [03:52] zaery: can you run xclock? (it's a graphical clock app) [03:52] pfifo: let's forget about the lock ok? [03:52] you're missing the point [03:52] this is a networking problem [03:52] it's a routing problem [03:52] it's the stupid 10.10 [03:52] edbian: "Error: Can't open display: " [03:52] i swear i haven't changed a thing in the settings [03:53] as a side note, running gksudo nautilus doesn't allow me to write to the usb device either, nor do changing the permissions seem to help any [03:53] toneshifter: So first I would try mounting the partition to see if you get any errors. If mount complains that it was not cleanly unmounted then you need to either run chkdsk from a windows install CD or add an entry to boot Windows manually to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom and run chkdsk from your windows system (then boot Ubuntu again and "sudo update-grub" should add a Windows entry automatically and you can remove your manual one). [03:53] zaery: look on the server in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [03:53] zaery: There is a property 'X11Forwarding' is it set to yes or no? [03:53] Shubuntu, i think you should maybe take a break, come back later. You seem to be a bit upset by this. [03:53] edbian: I just realised, my server is 10.04 and my client is 10.10, would that be a problem? [03:53] zaery: You can check the file using nano and ssh [03:53] zaery: That shouldn't matter [03:53] This room doesn't involve Natty yet, does it? [03:54] natalie_: not until the 28th [03:54] tried it already, it mounts perfectly, ok will try it :) thanks for support [03:54] GRE: bad checksum from pppd????? [03:54] zaery: I x forward every day. I've very confident we can get this working [03:54] Would anyone know where to go for issues regarding Natty? IRC specifically. [03:54] natalie_: #ubuntu+1 [03:54] pfifo: i've been dealing with this for the past 36 hours [03:54] Awesome, thanks! [03:55] natalie_: no problem [03:55] edbian: X11Forwarding is on [03:55] Shubuntu, you should get some sleep mate [03:55] yes i'm upset cause there isn't an oz of help on google, 10,10 has been out for ages yet they don't have one decent explanation of how they changed this [03:55] toneshifter: If there is no problem mounting the partition, and "sudo os-prober" still doesn't list windows, then run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 to help figure out what files are missing and ask in ##windows about how to restore them. [03:55] Hey I have a scripting question outputting error if anyone is willing to help [03:56] zaery: If I ssh into my own machine without the -X flag I get 'Error: Can't open display:' That is the error you're getting right? [03:56] roger that :] [03:57] one more time thank you for support [03:57] zaery: Can you copy/paste the command you're running on the client? (you can omit / mask hostname if you want) [03:57] will report tommorow [03:57] edbian: and taglass: i am thankful to you both. I have solved my problem using gparted [03:57] zee313: awesome [03:57] hello i'm new on ubuntu, some body talk spanish [03:57] edbian: xclock says can't open display, but firefox says no display specified, I'm using "ssh -X zaery@zaery.net" [03:58] I have a user ABC which can SSH into ubuntu 10.04 lts with username/login and then change the session to root by using su. [03:58] [03:58] Now I established an OpenSSH connection with key authenticication and I can't use su anymore to switch over to root session. Is that a config of OpenSSH? I don't want the user ABC to have sudo rights. === IHATEMACS is now known as KM0201 [03:58] Stef: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:58] if I put: let ag='ls -d [a-g]* | wc -l' into my script, it works great, but when there are no files begging within the field a-g I get the error message, which id rather not have displayed, I thought 2>> /bin/null would make it go away but its not working [03:59] any here dual boot ubuntu and another linux flavor with grub2? I'm dual booting ubuntu 10.10 and fedora 15 but I have to into ubuntu and run grub-mkconfig to get it to recognize new fedora kernels [03:59] also the fedora splash screen doesn't show up nor does it properly label fedora kernels [03:59] zaery: hang on [04:00] Jordan_U, the heart of it is that the device, for whatever reason, won't allow me to change to read and write. [04:00] seaoftea: I do. I install each distro's grub to the distros partition to avoid that problem. It does however make you go through 2 grub menus to boot. [04:00] seaoftea: ubuntu uses grub2 and fedora grub afaik... maybe is better if you chainload fedoras grub instead of adding the stanzas directly into grub2 [04:01] still hacking at this problem. I would just reinstall but I can't figure out how to get ubuntu on to a USB drive (don't have a CD drive) [04:01] zaery: You do have a window manager on the client machine too right? You have to have that because the client is still the X "server" [04:01] laptop won't boot entirely. It fails with: mounted-dev: main process (324) exited with status 1 [04:01] that's what the fedora ppl's say [04:01] or something like that [04:01] meh [04:01] quuxman, just download the live cd and use the usb installer [04:01] raido: yup, i'm in xchat on the client right now :) [04:01] zaery: try running shh -v -X user@host (so it gives errors and it will say stuff about x forwarding) [04:02] How do you listen to radio stations? For instance, in Banshee, how do I obtain the stream URL to play it in Banshee? [04:02] if I put: let ag='ls -d [a-g]* | wc -l' into my script, it works great, but when there are no files begging within the field a-g I get the error message, which id rather not have displayed, I thought 2>> /bin/null would make it go away but its not working [04:02] townes: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/; sudo touch /mnt/test; dmesg"? (obviously replacing 'XY' and unmounting the partition first) [04:02] townes, just as a thought there isnt like a write protection switch on the device? [04:03] pfifo, that was what i was hoping for...alas..not the case [04:03] Jordan_U, one moment [04:03] KXTwo: on the other hand, if I knew what package was broken, I could simply reinstall/reconfigure it. I can chroot in to the system [04:04] im having problems with installing Ubuntu 10.10 im at the screen where it asks who are you, entering my name username and desired password and what not, after entering all the information it asked me the forward button stays unclickable can anyone help me resolve this and finish the installation? [04:04] I'm gonna make them work together IDK why ubuntu and fedora can't be friends [04:04] Sadin56: make the username lower-case [04:04] quuxman, I dont think I could help you there except to booting to an old install, I know ubuntu keeps the previous 3 or so at least on my laptop. [04:04] KXTwo: none of them work [04:05] Sadin56: Your username needs to be all lowercase. [04:05] Sadin56: use all lowercase username [04:05] Maybe we should tell him some more! haah [04:05] quuxman, id boot from usb then and see if you can fix, or really just do a fresh install to be honest [04:05] :D thanks lol i completely forgot LOL [04:06] seriously no help with my script! I always have the most problems getting help in here lol [04:06] edbian: "/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/zaery/.Xauthority" could that be the problem [04:07] KXTwo: isn't there a bash channel about? [04:07] zaery: possibly. Where did that come from? The client or the remote machine? [04:07] zaery: did you leave a running x session on the server machine under your username? [04:07] zaery: Did you! [04:07] ?!? [04:08] mickster04, thank you I didnt know about that! [04:08] it seems kind of dead in there though [04:08] edbian, raido, actually, i might've [04:08] well, that'd explain it..... [04:08] seaoftea: you can make it work if you add the correct uuids for the kernels the problem is when you update fedora your grub2 won't change and have to do basically 2 grub updates [04:08] zaery: yes it would... hahaha [04:09] zaery: not necessarily, cause I can do that and it works for me, but if you can, try rebooting the server machine so you wont have a x session running and try again [04:09] I have been getting stuff like this on my laptop: http://i.imgur.com/hyjY9.png [04:10] now, If i did leave a x session running, I would have a virtual machine running on that, would "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" stop x, and not the virtual machine? [04:10] jtannenbaum: bug [04:10] jtannenbaum: nice background [04:10] honestly something sees really screwed up with the graphic manager [04:10] thanks [04:10] if you help me fix my graphics in general I'll link you [04:10] i got a read only file trapeed in here and can't get rid of it /root/.local/share/Trash/files/flash/boot/extlinux/extlinux.sys [04:10] KXTwo: Try asking in #bash, but before asking anything there check the guide and FAQ in the #bash channel topic. Also be sure to state up front that you're working on homework (as you have here). [04:11] zaery: is the VM running in a virtual term on your user account?

Turn compiz off and the bugs will go away :) [04:14] jtannenbaum: Or use an older version of Ubuntu [04:14] raido: yeah, i was going to get that set up, but then i found out the hard way that some of my ports are blocked, so I can't ssh into my virtual machine right now [04:14] hiexpo: erm, with sudo in front of it === mathias is now known as Guest8403 [04:15] My windows stutter when I move them with compiz enabled. Can anyone assist with this problem? [04:15] rww, still there [04:15] zaery: if its not working on anything, its ok to kill it [04:15] hiexpo: tried deleting it again? [04:15] let me see [04:16] Jordan_U, Ive gotten it taken care of and thank you. Yes it is homework but it is above and beyond what was required AND my teacher has no issues with getting help in any way shape or form so I typically dont mention that it is hw or people think im trying to get them to do work for me [04:16] rww, thanks [04:16] KXTwo: You are trying to get them to do work for you :| [04:16] pfifo, okay... I'll be back once that's done [04:17] pfifo, would I just dosfsck /dev/sdXY ? [04:17] townes, yes, makes certian its not mounted [04:18] alright. appreciate it. be back when I'm back mate [04:18] ok [04:19] #twilio [04:19] evening [04:19] anyone available to help with a compiz/nvidia issue? === LyNX is now known as Guest55277 [04:21] natalie_: Ubuntu uses new software. Because of that some things are buggy. The only way to get ride of these bugs is to update to the newest version of Ubuntu when it comes out (and trade for new bugs) or use an older version (or different distro that uses older software) to have less bugs period. [04:21] rww, so what was the i flag with chattr [04:21] so... im playing with ubuntu desktop linux after messing with fedora on and off for a while, nice distro, i have an nvidia video card and i notice that the various available video players all seem to use different methods to put full motion video on the screen [04:21] natalie_: Actually fixing the bug you're seeing probably takes experienced system programming skill [04:21] also, i understand the difference betwen vdpau and vaapi... [04:21] and what i notice is [04:21] hiexpo: the immutable extended attribute. "immutable" means "not changing" [04:22] eek. pfifo, I'm getting 'fat32, lfn open: no such file or dir' [04:22] rww, oh ok [04:22] edbian: That's understandable. It's not a make or break thing, just a small bug. It probably only affects my machine in the end. I'll try a new video card in there later and see if it helps. Thanks for your answers. :) [04:22] if i have 10.04 and i go to update manager and update to 10.10 and i decide i dont like it, can i downgrade back to 10.04 easily? [04:23] the only setting that really works in full screen mode that displays full motion video with any fidelity, is mplayer using "xv (1 - NV05 Video Blitter)" [04:23] natalie_: Having said that. You can try different compiz settings (try to figure out which plugin is causing the bug) and different nvidia drivers [04:23] fizyplankton: i doubt it [04:23] /s/mplayer/smplayer [04:23] Is there any way to change the resolution of the command line terminals when you press ctrl+alt+F1? [04:23] if necessary, i have enuf harddrive space unpartitioned to make a backup of my partition [04:23] townes, perhaps try using your windoows disk checking tool, im not really sure how but you seem to know your way around it. [04:23] fizyplankton: well if you back up everything then yeah [04:23] awesome [04:23] oscargot: not without changing buffer settings and rebooting [04:24] try !tty [04:24] !ttyl [04:24] !tty [04:24] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [04:24] and im trying to understand, what mode is 'xv 1 - NV05 Video Blitter" - does xv mean vaapi ? [04:24] tada [04:24] mickster04, thanks >: D [04:24] helloe [04:25] how come xkill doesn't work? [04:25] It has been 5 minutes since I xkilled my fireo [04:25] it still hasn't closed [04:25] i've also disabled frame dropping... videos look soooooooo much smoother in this mode whether fullscreen or windowed. every last other mode, fullscreen is flickery, choppy, or worse, and ultimately displeasing to the eye for watching a full length movie [04:26] stimoceiver: How do you disable frame dropping? [04:26] Explodinpiglets: try ps aux | grep , then kill the pid [04:26] stimoceiver, sounds like mplayer [04:26] I have a revolutionary idea that you guys OBVIOUSLY haven't thought of before. [04:26] pfifo, okay. I appreciate your help. take care [04:26] edbian: preferences - Performance [04:27] townes, sure [04:27] stimoceiver: in mplayer? [04:27] since i dont want to reboot my machine to back up my partition, if i create a new partition and copy / over to it, will that make a backup good enough to revert from 10.10 bakc to 10.04? [04:27] How about you guys make sre your "advice" actually works before you give it? [04:27] !who [04:27] 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 :) [04:27] !volunteer | Explodinpiglets [04:27] pfifo: it is mplayer, but what i dont get is, it also lists xv (0 - NV17 Video Texture) [04:27] Explodinpiglets: eitherway choill out [04:27] edbian: i installed the SMPlayer front end [04:27] stimoceiver: thanks [04:28] Explodinpiglets: non of us are paid for this [04:28] Excuse me? mickster04 [04:28] pfifo: and the thing is that xv (0 - NV17 Video Texture) is so much crappier than xv (1 - NV05 Video Blitter) [04:28] pfifo: that it has me wondering if it is possible to set this globally somehow for other video players [04:28] Explodinpiglets: ps aux | grep firefox in terminal, then kill the pid [04:28] !kill [04:28] stimoceiver, basically just the lib used to display the picture, personally -vo sdl works great for me [04:28] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:29] pfifo: yah sdl was decent too but still somewhat flickery on my nvidia card, xv (0 - NV17 Video Texture) was also flickery [04:29] Explodinpiglets: My scrollback has a noticible lack of people advising you to use xkill, so I'm not sure which advice you're talking about. [04:29] pfifo: but xv (1 - NV05 Video Blitter) is frigging FLAWLESS [04:30] it was several days ago rww [04:30] stimoceiver, there isnt a standard way to play vidoes in linux so at this point you cant set anything like that globally. [04:30] pfifo: sure, but doesnt xv use vaapi? [04:31] pfifo: like, i wouldnt mind being able to duplicate this kind of performance in VLC player... [04:31] i just finished my install for ubuntu 10.10 it told me to restart and i turned it back on and nothing happend im going to attempt to install again... [04:31] stimoceiver, im not sure. i think vaapi has its own option [04:31] Explodinpiglets: not seeing it. perhaps you use multiple nicknames. Regardless, as mickster04 said, the people in #ubuntu are volunteers, and not treating them snarkily tends to be useful. [04:31] on 10.01 the wireless symbol is gone, how do i bring it back?> i can't get online in ubuntu *(im in xp now) [04:31] pfifo: i didnt see a vaapi option, what i see is a vdpau option, but vdpau is redundant for me since i loaded the VDPAU backend package for vaapi [04:32] stimoceiver, have you checkd vlc command line switches, i think you can set it xv [04:32] Explodinpiglets: and as DaPenguin said, kill it. If that doesn't work, kill -9 it. Your desktop environment may have a graphical tool for doing so; I wouldn't know. [04:32] pfifo: yah i looked at it but im not seeing a way to enumerate these different xv options that SMplayer is showing [04:32] on 10.01 the wireless symbol is gone, how do i bring it back?> i can't get online in ubuntu *(im in xp now) [04:33] stimoceiver, then its probbally in a config file (possibly a non-existant one) [04:33] stimoceiver, vlc copied most of mplayer so it should be around somewhere... [04:34] pfifo: well, im trying to look further into this, the smplayer gui lists 3 different xv modes: xv, xv (0 - NV17 Video Texture), and xv (1 - NV05 Video Blitter), in addition to vdpau [04:34] I think my problem is this used to be a debian system [04:34] pfifo: and the performance difference for fullscreen between the 4 of them is nontrivial. =) [04:35] quuxman: you have a problem, how long ago did you mention it? [04:35] And when I installed mysql, it depended on upstart, which conflicted with sysvinit, which broke it [04:35] ubuntu doesn't use the sysvinit package [04:35] mickster04: about half an hour ago >.> [04:35] !mysql | quuxman [04:35] quuxman: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[04:36] stimoceiver, thats expected, they are all using different methods [04:36] rww: by modifying my sources.list [04:36] pfifo: actually i might have found the setting for vlc... there is a "xvideo" entry under the "output modules" option tree under video [04:36] quuxman: That's not a supported action by either us or Debian, and is liable to hose your system. Reinstall. [04:36] quuxman: why didn't you just install mysql the way suggested in ubottu's link? [04:36] pfifo: which gives xvideo adapter number === Guest55175 is now known as Corleone [04:37] mickster04: that's not here and now [04:37] rww: it's not such an uncommon thing to do. It generally works, though it's a little tedious [04:37] aff [04:38] quuxman: It is uncommon, it doesn't generally work, and your system is no longer supportable in this channel. [04:38] my question is, what packages should I reinstall to get the boot process to work? [04:38] pfifo: yah i just tried it. setting the "xvideo" adapter number to 1 sure speeds things up. (the default is -1, which i assume means something like, let vlc player choose. [04:39] pfifo: but this is a fairly obscure setting. i am just curious about the difference between xvideo adapter 0 (= texture interface according to the smplayer gui) and xvideo adapter 1 (= blit interface.) from what i know about blit operations versus texture operations, it does make sense that blitting would be faster [04:40] pfifo: what doesnt make sense is that the xv interface would default to using texture operations. [04:40] heloo.. [04:41] stimoceiver, I bieleve that what you are telling it todo is use a video overlay, which would have a substantial advantage over direct rendering, but I cant say 100% id have to lookup those libs docs [04:42] pfifo: yeah, i guess what i am looking for is a way to set the xv lib to use this blit/overlay method by default insted of the texture method [04:43] stimoceiver, that makes perfect sense that it would default to direct rendering as most computers ship without a high end video card [04:43] pfifo: anyway, i appreciate your following this with me... are there any apps or .conf files for tuning/adjusting xv defaults? [04:43] pfifo: well maybe but i mean these days, most cards can probqably do overlay mode... when you say "most computers ship" i doubt any computer that is shipping today lacks this mode, even for shared memory video cards [04:44] /s/card/subsystems === cryptk is now known as cryptk|offline [04:45] stimoceiver, i have no idea if xv has config files, usually libraries do not. [04:45] pfifo: it looks like it would be set in the xorg.conf [04:46] i tried to restart my computer after installing ubuntu 10.10 and all i see is a huge list of end_request: I/O errors, dev sdb messages is that normal oh and it hasnt shutdown yet... [04:46] stimoceiver, yes however direct rending will always work, and overlay will generate uses giving feed back about mplayer being broken [04:46] Can anyone tell me howto edit the sudoers file so that my user is equal to root, and doesn't need to enter password all the time. [04:47] Sadin56: It's a bug, but nothing to worry about. Remove the CD-ROM and manually restart your computer with the case button. [04:48] alright thanks ill try [04:48] pfifo: maybe in mplayer, but now that ive noticed this i need to find a way to change the default, cuz pretty much all video players bundled with ubuntu look unbearably crappy and flickery using xv device #0, wheras changing to device #1 makes it unbelievably smooth in comparison [04:48] !root | mcurran [04:48] mcurran: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:48] well rww should i do the same even if i used USB [04:48] Sadin56: yes [04:48] pfifo: the point is this is not a setting a typical new user is going to figure out, SMPlayer isnt even installed by default [04:48] k thanks [04:48] whatever, I'm sick of sudo and I don't care how unsecure it is. [04:49] mcurran: See "Remove Password Prompt For sudo" on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:49] pfifo: and only in the "video" output method selection dropdown of SMPlayer is it even enumerated with a name.... that or telling people to type "xvinfo" at the command line [04:49] mcurran: and note that any consequences of following those instructions, and the instructions themselves, are not supported by this channel. [04:49] rww ubuntu isnt starting up its at a blinking curser after i turn on my computer and still sitting there [04:50] pfifo: so i guess i have a question now about how to set the default adaptor number in the xorg.conf or the x-video extension section of xorg.conf... [04:50] stimoceiver, unfortunatly, most of ubuntu ships without support for most video to begin with so a new user has alot more to worry about [04:52] pfifo: how so? you mean if people dont know to install the proprietary nvidia or ati drivers? [04:52] ubuntu wont start after install just get a blinking curser anyone know how to solve this? [04:52] pfifo: I agree with you. It is one more thing they have to worry about [04:53] stimoceiver, no there is legal issues around many of the popular codecs to where ubuntu cannot ship with them, there is only a handful of completly free codecs supported by default [04:53] Sadin56: press shift to get to a grub menu during boot time. When you get to the grub menu choose the first Ubuntu kernel and press 'e' to edit it' add the option 'nomodeset' to the end and try to boot [04:53] pfifo: so do you have any idea, what to put in xorg.conf to tell the X server to use "adaptor 1" instead of "adaptor 0" ? [04:54] stimoceiver, no, i dont, i always stick -vo sdl in mplayer.conf [04:54] pfifo: regarding legal issues: isnt the codec issue the same 'proprietary' issue that prevents ubuntu being distributed with ati or nvidia proprietary drivers? i note that simply by enabling those package sources in synaptic, i was able to downlopad all of the above, vlc, codecs, and nvidia drivers [04:54] ebian pressing shift does nothing [04:54] pfifo: yeah re: mplayer.conf: im trying to find a way to do the equivalent in xorg.conf [04:54] edbian ^^ [04:55] i want my home folder on another partition thats on the same hdd. should i use a symbolic link or a hard link? [04:55] Sadin56: you have to press shift as soon as you see ubuntu starting... the 2 purple icons etc. [04:55] are there any game cheat in linux? [04:55] i dont get there [04:55] it never gets to that part === BenedictOfAmber is now known as OliverK [04:55] how can I resolve a dependency issue? how can I find the problem? [04:55] it sits at a black screen with white curser and does nothing [04:56] stimoceiver, alot of users get stumped about mp3's and xvid, most are used to installing via an exe and dont know where to look for them. [04:56] Overscan issues here... what can I do about them? [04:56] pfifo: true. true. understood. i may have a wee bit more experience than that [04:56] Sadin56: then press is as soon as the bios finishes loading [04:56] Xase: what video card and what monitor/TV ? [04:57] I have an intel4500mhd [04:57] Panasonic Viera, not sure on the model [04:57] MaRk-l tried that nothing :/ [04:57] Sadin56: I'm here sorry. [04:57] Xase: is that Panasonic a HDTV ? [04:57] Hold for model stimoceiver [04:57] Yes stimoceiver [04:57] How do I disable a resume from disk? [04:57] say it's failing, and I want to just manually turn it off [04:58] edbian the shift thing does not work i never get to the ubuntu start screen just black screen with white curser [04:58] Sadin56: You have to press shift before it gets to the white cursor. Turn the machine off. Boot the machine and as soon as the POST is done jam on shift like it's your job. [04:58] Xase: the issue has to do with the EDID data the monitor provides to the graphics adapter... im looking for a link [04:58] ok lol [04:58] any idea about resolving a dependency issue? [04:58] Alright stimoceiver. [04:58] edbian nothing :O shift simply isnt doing anything [04:58] Sadin56: That was the fastest boot ever [04:59] yeah iknow... [04:59] Also, are there any intel graphics tools available to Linux/Ubuntu, as I was aware from my research that Intel tends to be very friendly with the Linux community. [04:59] adbian should i try a power reset? [04:59] There must be a flag somewhere I can turn off that's set to notify the boot process to resume from a memory image [04:59] Sadin56: yes. What other type of rebooting is there? [04:59] edbian should i try a power reset sorry keep typing your name wrong [05:00] Sadin56: yes [05:00] lol k [05:00] !tab [05:00] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:00] Xase: i had the exact same problem with an nvidia card, the quick and dirty solution is to create a custom EDID file and tell the x server to use it... url here: http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid [05:00] mithridates, without more information: If in doubt, --fix-missing or --fix-broken. [05:00] Thanks stimoceiver, is there a long and drawn out solution as well? [05:01] Xase: while there may be a simpler solution if you can find a directive for the "Device" section of the xorg.conf file to just tell it to ignore EDID [05:01] Baribal_: what kind of information ? [05:01] edbian i got nothing i dont know whats going wrong... [05:01] Hmm [05:01] Xase: but that depends on the video adapter... the solution given at that url will for sure work for the problem you are having [05:02] Well this isn't the default device, so I'm sure it's not in xorg stimoceiver... at least when it's not plugged in. [05:02] BRB [05:02] Alright I'll check it out mate, thanks. [05:02] mithridates, for instance what the actual problem is. [05:02] !who | Xase [05:02] Xase: 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 :) [05:03] i want my home folder on another partition thats on the same hdd. should i use a symbolic link or a hard link to the new home folder? im thinking hard link ???? [05:03] Baribal_: actual problem is that I'm in gnome right now but things are weird, graphic is not perfect, so I tried sudo apt-get install gnome that I got that dependency issue [05:03] Baribal_: gnome : Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.30+7ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed [05:03] no one knows what to do when ubuntu wont start up and all you see is white curser blinking on white screen [05:03] Baribal_: and I can't get into Ubuntu Desktop, I'm in Ubuntu Classic Desktop [05:03] ? [05:03] mickster04, Unfortunately I'm aware already, and I'm sure my target saw my response nonetheless, but thanks for being such a samaritan. [05:04] RealOpty, i use a symbolic link if i cannot mount it where i need it. [05:04] pfifo, ok ty [05:05] mithridates, "not going to be installed"? Any further information? Also, tried apt-get --fix-missing already? [05:06] Baribal_: yes, I got same exactly error [05:06] Baribal_: it's funny because it says this line is for more information [05:06] is there a way to get cds to mount in the same location every time? i go to install something from cd and then have the next cd expects the location to be the same [05:06] Baribal_: http://pastebin.com/79sUHyvT [05:08] mithridates, try running --fix-missing, *then* install gnome. If that doesn't work, I don't know. [05:08] symbi, you can directly mount anything anywhere with the mount command [05:09] mithridates, are you running LTS or unstable? [05:09] Xase: IT'S just that people joining the channel to help scan for nameless lines, then try and help out [05:09] pfifo: i was looking for something which i change so that auto-mounting still works [05:09] Baribal_: natty (please don't tell me go to ubuntu+1) they don't answer [05:10] symbi, auto-mount will still work, you can just mount it where you want it manually. as far as auto-mounting goes, I dont know if you can get it not to use the name of the cd. [05:10] mithridates: you should try ubuntu-desktop instead of just gnome [05:10] pfifo: ok.. i'll keep looking. thanks. [05:11] MaRk-I: ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. [05:12] mithridates: then you have gnome installed === manco_ is now known as manco [05:12] mithridates: #ubuntu is for released versions of Ubuntu only. The quietness of the channel you're supposed to be in doesn't change that. [05:12] MaRk-I: so why can't I login to ubuntu desktop? [05:13] mithridates: what do you mean you can't log in? [05:13] MaRk-I, natty comes with unity by default [05:13] and natty support is in #ubuntu+1 [05:13] MaRk-I: in login page we have: ubuntu, ubuntu desktop, ubuntu desktop safe, ubuntu netbook,.... [05:14] mithridates: Go to #ubuntu+1, please. [05:14] rww: ok sorry [05:15] hello all [05:15] how is everyone [05:16] OHAI [05:18] hulloi [05:18] hi there [05:18] problem?

My touchpad is very sensitive and I get accidental preses - using Awesome WM. [05:22] ... what. [05:22] DOokami, i think there are some firefox plugins for that [05:22] pfifo: this is the kind of problem im up against trying to do this in xorg.conf: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html#toc8 [05:22] In KDE ,Synaptiks gives me a config option to fix that - in Awesome, I'm lost. [05:22] mickster04: #ubuntu-offtopic is not a support channel, and Ubuntu has packages in its repositories for downloading from Youtube. [05:22] pfifo, thanks man, i'll look them up right away [05:23] rww: i did not know that [05:23] !info youtube-dl | being the prototypical one [05:23] rww: i didn't think his request was within the boundaries for ubuntu support tbh [05:23] stimoceiver, lol @ Nobody wants to say how this works. Maybe nobody knows ... [05:23] being: youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube. In component universe, is extra.

[05:25] I'm looking to disable my touchpad while typing, in Awesome. Anyone? [05:25] DOokami: I haven't actually used youtube-dl. I use tinyogg.com instead for that sort of thing, but that's probably not what you're looking for. [05:25] GadsdenGraphics, you do not have a fn-hotkey combination for that? [05:26] Wolframn: Not what I mean - I need it to shut off for .5 sec when typing. [05:26] Wolframn: In KDE, it's called "smart mode" [05:26] New to ubuntu, anyone interested in helping me get compiz fusion installed/running etc [05:26] GadsdenGraphics, I am not familiar with that, sorry. >_> [05:26] kde-config-touchpad handles it well, and synaptiks does it as well. In Awesome, I have no idea how to get this.

The slash was skipped because my touchpad moved focus :( [05:28] well, i was told it was already installed on the ubuntu, but not seeing the options [05:28] edbian oh i read up on how to access the grub menu i did not know you wanted me to hold down the shift key so i will try it again after re install :) [05:28] !compiz | trihope [05:28] trihope: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [05:28] trihope, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [05:28] GadsdenGraphics: check on System > Preferences > mouse "touch pad" tab [05:28] trihope: The basic options for compiz are System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects.

[06:01] Aleiex, you use sudo to perform an operation as root [06:02] rhizmoe, i typed that in my surch and it gave no results im on ubuntu 10.04 LTS [06:02] Aleiex, I dont think chown is designed to work on NTFS file systems [06:02] hopeless8009, what search did you type that into? [06:03] Is this the channel were I would ask a question about Natty? [06:03] the software center in ubuntu [06:03] kyle1: #ubuntu+1 [06:03] !natty | Kyubey [06:03] Kyubey: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [06:03] Kyubey, #ubuntu+1 [06:03] Oh, thanks :) [06:03] how do i find out via the cli what event my usb keyboard is? [06:03] oops kyle1 my bad kyle1 ... Kyubey ^^ [06:04] digitalfiz, use `xev` [06:04] says unable to open display [06:04] im messing with a keylogger and i need to know which event it is in /dev/input [06:05] SudoGhost, i typed it into the Ubuntu software center [06:05] digitalfiz, ahh, no X available, I dont think cli supports all the extrakey, or atleast ive never heARD OF A PROGRAM ACCESSING THEM, SORRY [06:05] -caps [06:05] Aleixei your ntfs partition should actuay show up right in your places [06:05] once you click on it it will mount [06:05] and youa re good to go [06:06] I move files back and forth from mine all the time [06:06] hopeless8009, I've never messed with Compiz, but I don't believe it's available in the software center. [06:06] can anyone explain to my what the point of the terminal is? it seems like theres a gui for all of the things it does [06:06] KXTwo i know, I can acces, but can't write data in that partition [06:07] UbuntuNoob: There isn't a GUI for all of the things it does. [06:07] UbuntuN00b, cli is all there used to be, gui is simply just a front end. [06:07] i think i just got trolled [06:07] UbuntuNoob: Sometimes it's easier in instances when you're doing something to a bunch of files (i.e. renaming a bunch of files), etc. [06:08] pfifo: i wish i was trolling i dont really get it though. i more or less dont understand anything about it [06:09] like ive used it to kill processes or to move files, but its much more convenient to just close the windows or move the files in the file manager window i think [06:09] IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET A VERGEN MOBILE AIR CARD INSTALLED ON UBUNTU [06:09] hopeless8009, no caps [06:10] UbuntuNoob: That's good in terms of Ubuntu's goal, then. Just use whatever works for you. If GUI works for you then go for it. If you ever need a CLI then you'll use it when that time comes. [06:10] hopeless8009: have you tried the mobile broadband wizard in network manager? also, your caps lock is on. [06:10] UbuntuN00b, what if you wanted a webserver that didnt have all the resouces being wasted on X and Gnome? [06:10] I KNOW I JUST JUST AM TO DURNK TO TURN IT OFF [06:10] hopeless8009: I recommend you fix that soon. [06:10] hopeless8009, then part the channel [06:11] alright thanks guy [06:11] UbuntuNoob: This will help you know a little bit about how to use the CLI: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html if you want. Then choose if you like it or not. [06:11] s [06:11] hows this [06:11] anyone know what package the kde control center is in? [06:12] Could someone please help me figure out why my wireless won't connect. It sees the card & network, all my other mac's can join no problem, I've tried installing ndiswrapper with the correct inf driver and that was successful, ifconfig wlan0 up works... [06:12] does anybody know how to share a cd writing device with rdesktop? [06:12] i'd like to actually write cds [06:13] i tried -r disk:cdrom=/dev/sr0 and -r disk:cdrom=/media/cdrom [06:14] symbi, wouldnt you need physical access to the machine for that? to load the CD-R [06:14] pfifo: it's connecting your local drive to a remote server so the answer is no. [06:15] symbi: so why don't just d/l whatever is in the remote server and then burn it? [06:15] symbi, ahh the otherway around, sorry Im not sure about that then. [06:15] pfifo: it's certainly possible in linux to do remote burning. i know in windows with rdp you can do it too. [06:16] MaRk-I: i'd actually like to have it because i want to install software which is being problematic without direct access. a normal share isn't doing the trick. [06:16] if it showed up as a device instead of a network share i'm sure the software would install. so technically i don't need to burn anything. === root is now known as Guest36598 [06:17] hi === el is now known as electuz [06:20] ok first time installing something on Ubuntu i downloaded Aptana IDE from aptana.com and it gave me a zip file what do i do? [06:20] anyone has the pogress information of AppStream? [06:22] i know this is OT, but im trying to find it. there was a mod to gnome's bars that got so big they decided to separate the two projects and made the bar mod its on application. anybody familiar? [06:22] Afteraffekt: #gnome [06:22] sadin, for that program you will be on your own, check the zipfile for instructions [06:22] I just logged into my ubuntu machine, and it says "SYSTEM RESTART REQUIRED" <-- wtf does this mean? [06:23] I just logged into my ubuntu machine, and it says "SYSTEM RESTART REQUIRED" <-- wtf does this mean? [I logged in over ssh] [06:23] alright pfifo [06:23] I have an odd error. I'm trying to install on a 64 bit machine from a 10.10 64 disc that I've used recently. The farthest I can get is a black screen that says "See :" [06:23] accel: there was an update for the kernel or libc [06:23] accel: and for that you need to restart the system === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban [06:23] iceroot: but I havne't done an apt-get update [06:24] oh well [06:24] It just booted a 10.04 x86 disc to the desktop, so I know the pc works [06:25] Seven_Six_Two, perhaps you should see: [06:25] and up till now, it has been running vista without issue. well, without expected issues ;) [06:25] Seven_Six_Two, does ctrl+alt+f1 work? [06:25] pfifo, no [06:26] I don't even get a purple screen [06:26] Seven_Six_Two, id check the md5sum even if it was recently used, thats the most obivous aside from a reboot === fisted is now known as fisted______ [06:27] pfifo, yeah. I should start downloading it again too. I'm trying to get the mini iso bootable from usb [06:28] Seven_Six_Two, those cds barely last long enough to keep up with the releases [06:29] I'd like to know the proper syntax for rsyncing from an external drive to my home folder [06:29] pfifo, lol... [06:29] bin_bash: rsynv -av /path/where/to/sync/from/ /local/path/to/sync/ [06:30] does anyone know if there is a known issue with using the mini.iso download with the startup disc creator? [06:30] iceroot: thanks [06:30] Seven_Six_Two: lauchpad knows [06:30] Seven_Six_Two: launchpad knows [06:31] <^Phantom^> I won't break the filesystem on my NFTS-formatted backup drive by massively organizing the scattered mess of files into general categories will I? [06:31] Seven_Six_Two, i dont think the mini.iso supports the proper features for a grub2 isoboot [06:31] <^Phantom^> for example, putting all the files of general types (videos, audio, etc) into single folders [06:31] pfifo, alright. I'll waste the disc. Thanks === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban [06:32] ^Phantom^: i dont see a reason why (and please remove the ^ from your nick its not very nice on qwertz-layouts) [06:32] Seven_Six_Two, last i checked its nothing but a kernel and initramfs tho so grub2 shoulld be able to atleast be told to boot them [06:32] <^Phantom^> I mean, organize the contents under an ubuntu 10.10 system [06:33] ^Phantom^, i will always consider ntfs file support as expermental. [06:34] with ntfs-3g it's decidedly not [06:34] <^Phantom^> pfifo, am I fairly safe? [06:35] at one point in time there was only the in kernel one with read support and "experimental" write support though [06:35] ^Phantom^: if they are separate filesystems it doesn't matter what the pair of them are [06:35] ^Phantom^, its not suppposed to mess up anything anymore, if it does you can alyas file a bug report [06:36] <^Phantom^> pfifo, ohsix: thank you :) [06:36] QUESTION: why would my ubuntu local file transfer upload no faster then 1MBps [06:37] pehden: router/hard drive speed? [06:38] new machines [06:38] !details | pehden [06:38] pehden: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:39] * ^Phantom^ copies the files containing his taxes to a separate drive, just in case. [06:39] I'm having a permissions problem with my camcorder on Ubuntu. I can do video capture if I run kino with gksudo, but cannot run it as a normal user (says that I can't read/write /dev/raw1394). I can get it where the normal user can run it by doing `chown root:disk /dev/raw1394` and adding the user to 'disk' group, but something is resetting the permissions on raw1394 each time I restart. [06:39] ^Phantom^: if you're really concernerd then there are no half measures; you should back everything up [06:39] 10.10, im uploading of wifi G and the speed is capable of 54MBps and I can download at 10MBps local from the server but what could be preventing that in the upload [06:40] nnoell: sudo chmod 777 /dev/raw1394 [06:40] I burned the mini.iso and I'm getting the same error. a black screen, with "See : " [06:40] pp7: argh [06:40] ohsix: what? [06:40] ohsix: did i beat u to it? [06:40] nnoell: if it's actually a disk when you plug it in you should report a bug; udev should be setting it up for you, and udisks should offer to mount it automatically [06:40] pehden, you could have a crappy signal strength coming from the client, but great signAL STRENGTH FROM THE ROUTER [06:40] pp7, I don't want it world readable/writable and, as I said, the permissions are getting reset anyway. [06:41] dam caps [06:41] the server is on LAN [06:41] <^Phantom^> ohsix, heh already done. the really important (and irreplacable) data is backed-up from my backup drive to my flash drive while I do this. :) [06:42] nnoell, make raw1394 owned by the firewire group and put the normal user in that group too [06:42] and I know both my laptop and server are set at 100T [06:42] nnoell: props for knowing what chmod 777 means, most people don't :] [06:42] nnoell: are you part of the video group? [06:42] pfifo: udev/udisks should be doing this for you [06:42] treebeen, Yes. [06:42] Hello pp, I am trying our ubuntu beta version. I am having trouble with mouse...left click some time works and some time acts like click and track (the hand icon shows). any suggestion ? [06:43] !natty | jamil_1 [06:43] jamil_1: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [06:43] <^Phantom^> ohsix, when I finally get a new job, I'm gonna buy a 1TB drive and use that as my "master backup drive" [06:43] I'm trying to rsync from my external to my home folder but /media/ubuntu/home/user /home/user/ is not working [06:43] Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? [06:43] ^Phantom^, by that time 4tb will be a dime a dozen [06:43] ohsix, The device seems to be loading now (the kernel modules are loading automatically after I de-blacklisted firewire-ohci), but it's just resetting to root:root instead of root:disk. [06:44] ^Phantom^: backing stuff up is stilll tough, have to read the source every time, limiting how often you can do it based on the size [06:44] <^Phantom^> lmao pfif [06:44] <^Phantom^> pfifo* [06:44] nevrmind. silly casesensitivity [06:44] (root:root / root:disk ownership that is) ... what could be resetting the permissions like that? udev? [06:45] <^Phantom^> ohsix, there's my problem right there [06:45] nnoell: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058495 [06:45] nnoell: well, try getfacl on the device, an acl should be added when the session seat changes; the permissions don't change, also there are problems with ohci and suspend that i don't know if it got resolved in mav [06:45] <^Phantom^> I never used a proper backup creation program, just copied over what I didn't want to lose in the case of primary HDD failure [06:46] <^Phantom^> In the past, anywho [06:46] deja-dup is nice; will run missed backups when you plug in the backup volume, but its still not very cheap to do [06:46] <^Phantom^> Now I'm finally up and categorizing the stuff into general categories [06:47] linux needs an fseventd so it can have a time machine [06:47] my backup plan has always been to email it to myself if it seems important [06:48] <^Phantom^> I learned the hard way, having to salvage what I could from a drive that started dying [06:48] Does using "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" delete all the files in the .wine folder? [06:48] thats problematic if you have over 100megs of things to back up [06:48] sarthorks: no [06:48] <^Phantom^> until it finally made a really nasty sound and never worked again :( [06:48] ohsix : then what does that command do? [06:49] sarthorks: the extra purge step only removes what the package considers to be configuration files, usually stuff in /etc, sometimes elsewhere [06:49] QUESTION: why would my ubuntu local file transfer upload no faster then 1MBps,10.10, im uploading of wifi G and the speed is capable of 54MBps and I can download at 10MBps local from the server but what could be preventing that in the upload [06:49] the package doesn't know about ~/.wine at all, programs in it create/use it [06:49] sudo apt-get purge wine would also work. They're interchangable [06:49] treebeen, I'm not seeing anything on there that I haven't tried [06:50] ohsix : so basically can i use this command to uninstall by current version of wine, and then install a newer version through a .deb file, WITHOUT affecting all the programs already installed under wine? [06:50] pehden, probably you ISP caps upload speed [06:50] And the user is in the right group, it's the permissions on /dev/raw1394 that I need to make not reset on me [06:50] But I can't figure out what is resetting it. [06:50] sarthorks: probably, but installing an untracked .deb isn't a great idea [06:50] doobien it cant be that cause this is within the router/LAN [06:50] nnoell: udev [06:51] nnoell: theres' no static list of device nodes anymore with devfs [06:51] <^Phantom^> iceroot, I would remove the ^ things, but the last time I did that, I got pwnd by an ircop [06:51] ohsix, OK, so nothing I change via /dev will remain after I restart the system right? [06:52] pehden, my internal network uploads go at full speed - so i don't know either [06:52] I have to change config in udev to make static changes to /dev [06:52] ? [06:52] nnoell, you can use mknod to make a permenat device node somewhere [06:52] ohsix: ok thanks. I wanted to try the unstable wine1.3 to see if one of the games which is currently not working will work in it or not. How exactly do I remove this version if i want to go back to the stable wine1.2? [06:52] nnoell: probably more prudent to look for, and if not found; file a bug, it should work automatically [06:53] ohsix, I definitely will file a bug. I'd just like to figure out as much as I can before I do, so that it's useful. [06:53] <^Phantom^> ohsix, you've helped me in the past several times, now that i think of it. thank you ^_^ [06:53] nnoell: are any sub devices created when you plug in the device or do you have to stick with the raw interface? [06:53] doobien is there a certian thing i need to set of the wlan0 and lan0 [06:53] ^Phantom^: np [06:54] ohsix, This is what I get from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/595384/ [06:55] nnoell: udevadm monitor might show extra devices being setup when you plug it in [06:55] so why is ubuntu better than arch?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! === RaiBot5 is now known as RaiBot [06:56] <^Phantom^> ohsix, i have one drive (internal, 160GB) that is dedicated to torrenting and other high disk use operations, that is separate from my two main OS HDDs in this tower. Good move? [06:56] nnoell: i haven't had firewire to play with here, i don't know what proper behaviour is, but if permissions are wrong on the main interface i'm thinking v4l or whatever devices might be added on the fly with the proper permissions; but i can't say for sure [06:57] ohsix, Thanks, I didn't know about udevadm monitor ... here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/595385/ [06:57] what are some docky alternatives that are more customizable? [06:57] ^Phantom^, it depends on if your torrent disk is pata when it could be sata? [06:57] I knew some one would do it I freaking knesw it lol [06:58] nnoell: k sec lemme look what udev would do with it [06:58] Afteraffekt: awn [06:58] <^Phantom^> I mean, is that a good idea, in the sense that it reduces unnecessary wear on the OS drives [06:58] ohsix, Thanks for your help. [06:58] ^Phantom^: sure i guess; there's not much wear anyways [06:58] ^Phantom^: only issue is heat, if you don't have enough cooling that the drive being on all the time will generate excess heat, that's the only problem [06:59] what is ubuntu's automounter called? or whatever dynamically mounts my different drives so that they don't always show up. [06:59] ^Phantom^, personally i would want high disk usage being done on my best drives... but I have a bit of linux server mentality that dosent apply to p2p [06:59] ? [07:00] ^Phantom^: the chief benefit is that torrents exercise the drive with lots of tiny writes and reads, which gets in the way of other computery junk. the perf hit from that is much more noticeable than any physical wear. [07:00] rhizmoe: udisks informs the automounter, try udisks --dump and see if it knows about your volume; you can also use Disk Utility [07:01] would it be a matter of just moving stuff from there into fstab or wherever, leaving udisks to handle usb keys and such? [07:01] <^Phantom^> rhizmoe, ah [07:01] yeah, all my drives are listed [07:02] nnoell: ok it looks like there's no special setup for video devices, just disks and audio [07:02] <^Phantom^> Hey, I should have started organizing this drive a long time ago [07:03] well, not "all my drives," but all that aren't my current ubu part [07:03] nnoell: not that i can see anyways; it can be hard to look through these rules without plugging in something [07:03] ^Phantom^: never too late [07:03] <^Phantom^> I found the html file containing all my bookmarks from the ubuntu partition on my old laptop, which has a dead mobo and display [07:03] <^Phantom^> woohoo [07:03] there you go [07:04] <^Phantom^> i'm getting a bit offtopic here, so I'll quiet down a bit :) [07:04] !list [07:04] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

I think I'll be able to figure out a bunch from here. I'll try to learn more about what udev is doing with it first. be back in a bit. Thanks for the help! [07:04] Let me know if you think of anything you'd check, and I can post the output [07:05] ohsix: thing is, they remount s o s l o w l y [07:05] rhizmoe: i had one volume i wanted mounted before i clicked on it, just so i could skip the step, i just told startup applications to mount it [07:05] it's not "on access" if the file dialog doesn't know about them, basically. [07:05] on access from the location sidebar or places [07:05] so i go to /media, click on the volume, *then* it shows up in the app [07:05] they won't show up when you'd access where they'd be like autofs [07:05] ohsix: within apps [07:06] irc is used for filesharing?

(again I am not polling :P) pfifo [07:24] why do you have to use anything [07:24] bhavesh, i dont, I set it up manually [07:24] ok [07:25] welcometo linux development [07:25] you can use one of those rapid callaboration things to sketch stuff; then code it up [07:25] rapid collaboration things..? [07:25] is ubuntu 10.10 better [07:25] or 10.04 better [07:26] draw it in gimp just to get pixel coordinates [07:26] but if you use the xml files and gtkbuilder you can change the xml and change the ui without changing the code [07:26] ill have to try things first [07:26] bhavesh: there are a few phases those builder things stuff together for the average user, the design/planning stage is one of them [07:27] i use phpgtk so the xml by hand part just comes into play naturally [07:27] oh and you can localize the xml files [07:27] do u have to develop apps only in XML? [07:27] so when your software is distributed it can be easily localized [07:27] DASDDSDSDADSAEGD: Depends what you're doing. In general, I'd say 10.04, because it's LTS. LTS releases only need to be updated every three years instead of every eighteen months. [07:27] I loved visual studio 2008 programming [07:28] is it only xml? [07:28] then you probably don't care for doing things properly, and the design step doesn't matter [07:28] I do [07:28] bhavesh, hes only refering to the gui being xml, the code is most likely c or python [07:28] or vala, or anything [07:28] oh... got it now.. [07:28] I thought u code in xml -.- [07:29] vala is good to play up since it uses gobject introspection for its bindings, and trickles down to C code [07:29] rww: Eighteen months? [07:29] red2kic: Non-LTS releases are supported for 18 months from release, yes. [07:30] how to disable fsck at startup? it hangs up every time i start and i checked it every time [07:30] rww: Surely, you mean every six months! [07:30] red2kic: A new release comes out every six months. Each (non-LTS) release is supported for eighteen months. [07:31] rww: Right. Scroll up and look what you said. I was just pointing it out. Sleep more. :) [07:31] raven_: something is probably quite wrong if that's the case; and if it is you wouldn't want to skip it D: [07:32] red2kic, im reaading the statment as true [07:32] red2kic: I'm not sure what you're talking about. [07:32] ohsix, with previous systems there were no problems [07:32] Is natty supposed to be an LTS? [07:32] bin_bash: no. The next LTS will probably be 12.04. [07:32] raven_: the previous systems didn't contain the disk with the trouble, did they? [07:32] boo [07:32] I can't use 10.04 [07:32] rww: "DASDDSDSDADSAEGD: Depends what you're doing. In general, I'd say 10.04, because it's LTS. LTS releases only need to be updated every three years instead of every eighteen months. [07:32] ohsix, on the same disk [07:33] bin_bash: Why not? [07:33] not supported for this hardware [07:33] red2kic: Yes, and? [07:33] took me 6 hours to get natty installed [07:33] red2kic: you don't have to update anything, it's just about maintenance status [07:33] rww: Every three years intead of every eigteen months? It's same. :) === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:33] red2kic: eighteen months is 1.5 years [07:33] red2kic: after the support period is over you won't get software/security updates [07:34] Oh I undestand it now. EOL. [07:34] me too [07:34] rww: Ah. And I thought I spot a mistake. Sorry. :P [07:35] red2kic: No problem. And I do need to sleep more anyway ;P [07:36] ohsix, how to disable this [07:36] raven_: you find out what the problem is and correct it [07:37] ohsix, i corrected it evry time [07:37] raven_: then it shouldn't be trying to fsck it [07:37] bin_bash: Six hours? Slow machine or slow download? [07:37] ohsix, how to disable it [07:37] red2kic: i couldn't get it to read the CD, then it couldn't install grub, so then i had to delete all the partitions [07:38] brand new computer [07:38] hardware not supported fully [07:38] bin_bash: You only have one CD reader? My machine is a tad weird. I use the second CD reader to install stuffs. [07:38] it's a laptop there's no room for more than oine [07:39] I had to boot natty with a livecd and a liveusb [07:39] bin_bash: did you md5sum check the download to make sure you had a good download? [07:39] of course [07:39] i need an operating system [07:39] raven_, to disable filesystem checks at startup you change the last number in /etc/fstap to a 0 on the line for the disk you are intrested in [07:39] for my new pc [07:39] pfifo, tnx [07:39] DASDDSDSDADSAEGD: install gentoo [07:40] raven_, /etc/fstab [07:40] pfifo: :[ [07:41] ohsix, it sounds like his filesystem is not being marked as clean by the check [07:41] or theres another problem [07:42] if it were just that it'd just be highly unlikely; but if it were something else, not so much [07:42] there are this many Linux OS for you : [07:42] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Gldt1009.svg [07:42] that chart is awesome [07:42] bhavesh: Nice [07:43] DASDDSDSDADSAEGD: Debian is really rock solid OS -- You wouldn't break anything -- Just stick with the repo and don't go for bleeding edges. [07:44] even the bleeding edge in debian (and ubuntu) is pretty darn nice [07:44] it's really the difference between you wanting to file bugs at all or not [07:44] I dont understand gentoo website says it can be optimized for any application? [07:45] they mean "as applied" like to a kiosk or something, not applications in it [07:46] bhavesh, yeah it can, if you want to make a dwarf_fortress based distro gentoo would allow you [07:46] it's not like it's a unique feature or anything; and it isn't really a decisive one as far as picking among a bunch of options either [07:46] which country are U in? [07:47] The country that sings The Star-Spangled Banner. [07:51] uh oh [07:52] i left gparted open while it was working and expanding a partition of mine [07:52] turned in some tax papers, and when i got back just now, gparted isn't open anymore [07:52] i try to open it but it doesn't open [07:53] am i screwed? i can't tell if it worked :( [07:53] open it again [07:53] and see [07:53] i try to open it but it doesn't open [07:53] didn't see that [07:53] x] === michaelh1 is now known as michaelh1|away [07:53] run top [07:53] huh? === michaelh1|away is now known as michaelh1 [07:54] open a terminal [07:54] and type "top" [07:54] alright, i see a bunch of things similar to a task manager [07:54] okay [07:55] no gparted in those though [07:55] okay [07:55] open up a new terminal [07:55] and try "sudo killall gparted" [07:55] okay...

Using Separate X [xinerama] + twinview. I had it working prefectly with maximizing on dual monitor setup. :S ubuntu 10.10 x64 / nvidia [08:38] Sugi, whats the problem maximizing? [08:40] Sorry, I didn't explain myself. It's maximizing to two monitors, instead of the just one screen. Though, It does not maximize to "xinerama screen" [This is ok]. But I would like to maximize a window / applications to that given screens, one given screen. [08:40] Afteraffekt: Forgot your name input [08:40] are each screen extensions, or are any clones? [08:41] If I understand you correctly, they are extensions... [08:41] theres possibly a setting that tells it to maximize to just one - all i can think of [08:41] !tab [08:41] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[08:43] Sugi, so wine is expanding to two screens? [08:44] DASDDSDSDADSAEGD: Hmm, your choice of nickname seems hard to remember, full of capital letters, and seems to have been chosen in a hurry. Couldn't think of a suitable nick? [08:44] I feel like an idiot asking this question. But how do i change my clock? I went into "Change system time" and did that but when ever i reboot it goes back [08:45] Sugi, sorry i couldnt be of more help [08:46] Afteraffekt: Also, I could post my xorg, the old xorg was working on dual monitor setup, but now, triple monitors is having issues with maxizing. Also a quick note, dual monitor, maxizing worked on one screen with twinview, but now, xinerama maxizing works on that screen, bu the twinview setup set to one video is now currently not working, as it maxizes to both screens of twinview instead of one.

[09:38] kwtmm: So , whats the problem in using 10.10 [09:38] Sugi: with nouveau and xrandr the monitor applet should work just like you expect, no creating your own xorg.conf [09:38] 10.10 say by installing as my computer name "desktop-EL1850" EL1850 >> its the type of my pc !! [09:38] but 10.04 dont say so, it only "desktop" [09:38] Sugi: you really should be talking to nvidia or their forums for information on how to make it work otherwise [09:38] Sugi, try xrandr that might be what you are looking for, I have had 4 screens running at one time with that [09:39] <_zoom_> ashmew2: no other application, linux will be host of webstore [09:39] ohsix: Ya, I had it working with my dual-monitor setup perfectly.

[09:39] ok [09:39] yes i agree , so what do you recommend me, ashmew2, which ubuntu version [09:39] xrandr 4 lyf [09:39] I have got ordered KDE and gnome CDS, only ubuntu 10.10 32 bit [09:39] but i can download it !! [09:40] _zoom_ : By webstore you mean you want to set up some sort of dedicated linux server with your shop's database or something ? [09:40] kwtmm: Give 10.10 a try (Live session)...Do you have any pen drives/thumb drives with you ? [09:40] hiddensoul: Oh wow, I was under the impression getting multiple monitors working with xrandr was impossible or darn never close to it. Do you have any documention you went off of to complete this task? [09:40] yes [09:41] Do they have the ubuntu 11 cds yet? [09:41] kwtmm: Download the ISO from download.ubuntu.com , make a live USB / live CD..Give it a spi [09:41] n [09:41] the other thing is ashmew2 does 11.10 have gnome [09:41] <_zoom_> ashmew2: beside some scripts (php,perl whatever) to manage the version, rating, downloads ... and payments [09:41] You can just install it. [09:41] But i think they are using unity now? [09:41] in 1¹.04 you can chose [09:42] bit in 11.10 [09:42] but [09:43] kwtmm: Ubuntu is bundled with a default set of software..You can always install what you want..like KDE on a gnome desktop === lance_ is now known as Guest13311 [09:44] so do you think 11.10 there is a meta packages [09:44] "gnome-desktop" to install [09:44] that i can use gnome [09:44] or what [09:44] there would be , they wouldnt dare cut out gnome...bad for publicity [09:45] ok [09:45] but 11.04...is it out yet ? [09:45] OMG [09:45] thx [09:45] April 28 [09:45] yesa [09:45] is the official release date...10 days to go [09:45] ashmew2: not to mention they can't [09:45] but i have to install today so what should i install [09:45] l [09:45] oshix: why can not they ? [09:45] ashmew2: they may have unity but the other 99.9% is gnome [09:46] ! 11.04 | kwtmm [09:46] kwtmm: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

[09:47] hiddensoul: Btw, how was it maximizing apps and windows to a single screen, were there any downsides to using xrandr with a 4 monitor setup?

[09:48] soreau: He doesnt want to install natty yet. Its still beta. [09:48] thx [09:48] Sugi: i thought the point of xrandr is to get around the downsides? [09:48] yes ashmew2 you right [09:49] kwtmm: Yeah , LTS would be a good choice..but before you surely want to give it a spin from the live session. [09:49] kwtmm: Because you said you wanted a machine for productivity. However, solid stable? Use debian. [09:49] ashmew2: Oh, I thought he is asking how to install natty right now [09:49] Sugi: ie. getting rid of xinerama and static configuration [09:49] ok [09:49] solid stable ? [09:49] soreau: Nah , he's just asking for advice on what to :) [09:50] jess [09:50] so do you think debian is good for me then [09:50] no i think stay ubuntu [09:51] kwtmm: There are different tools for different jobs..You wouldnt want to use a screwdriver to hammer a nail instead of using a hammer. OS choice depends on the use. [09:51] yes :D [09:51] :P [09:51] ashmew2 one question what do you use [09:51] ohsix: Ok, then what should I go over to, I'm a bit lost and heartbroken to say the less. This problem is quite problematic [09:52] kwtmm: Fedora , Ubuntu , Sabayon , Mint , Win 7. [09:52] :P [09:52] kwtmm, than use lts -- long term support 10.4 [09:52] im sort of an OS junkie , i dont really require production machines. [09:52] oh i dont like mint :D [09:52] ashmew2: heh, you sound like me === lance is now known as Guest9745 [09:52] kwtmm: but you should be able to choose one that fits your needs best..

[09:53] Sugi: shrug, nvidia won't do xrandr, hope lies in nouveau, try a natty livecd, use the monitor applet [09:53] Pacman ftw :) [09:53] ashmew2: I actually have a 5-boot machine with all of these installed :P [09:53] kwtmm: but for that we'll need to know what you're guna use it for..Precisely..and what do u mean by a production machine...put it in a shop ? [09:53] You forget Gentoo too. [09:53] ohsix: I am really hoping natty will bring some new light to this issue. This is quite an old issue :SSSSS [09:54] soreau: same..i got 3 3 . on lap and on desktop :) [09:54] red2kic: Sabayon is close enough ;) [09:54] ashmew2: no private ! ;) [09:54] ashmew2: Ah, then we are in the same boat ;) [09:54] Sugi: it's just the nvidia binary driver; only mention natty because xorg-edgers stopped builds for versions older than natty, and it comes with nouveau [09:54] but dont want to re install this every secondd [09:54] d [09:54] :D [09:54] soreau: im glad :) [09:54] d [09:54] :D [09:54] kwtmm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I installed natty beta2. before that I used 10.10 with 2.6.32 kernel since the default kernel didn't support my hardware. now I tried to do the same, installed old kernel, but the boot menu is different now. But it doesn't boot now. What can I do? I don't want to use linux without acpi support? [12:23] UbuntuFanatic> I need some help, [12:23] ubuntuone-syncd is using a lot of CPU/Memory [12:23] and I do not use the application. [12:23] I'm on natty at the moment, but it happened when running Maverick too. [12:23] UbuntuFanatic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:23] Oops. D: [12:23] macca: you can install ubuntu inside windows, using wubi.exe, ubuntu installer for windows [12:23] hlimi, shift, I believe..? [12:23] Old Ubuntu versions --> pick a kernel [12:24] Can anybody help me out? [12:24] yes but does wubi not have performance implications [12:24] macca: yes, but it slightly depend on your hardware condition [12:24] macca: like processor amount and speed per second [12:24] Any Ubuntu One devs here/ [12:25] *? [12:25] 2ghz, 2gb mem [12:25] i recently changed the wifi settings on my router, and need to update it on all the machines in my house. instead of manually going to each one and connecting to the wifi, is there a way i can just email everyone a config file, which they can run or load into network manager or something? [12:25] macca: 2gb ram? that's good enough, maybe boot will be up to 15~20 seconds [12:25] I can't use $git-clone, how should I do this? [12:26] so partition wont be quicker [12:26] it will be [12:26] well does it set up dual boot for me? [12:26] because it doesn't have dependency to windows [12:26] Hey guys, I don't know if the question is right in this channel. ;-) I have a webpage written in html and php and this page uses some python scripts. Is there something like a (free) visualization tool, in which I can visualize the code flow? It would be useful to see where it is best to expand the Project and plan ahead. I hope I explained my wishes well enough. ^^ [12:26] if i use the usb installer [12:26] you have to partition your hard drive, and that's count as "compromising windows" [12:26] hmm ok [12:27] unless you back up first [12:27] ok but why cant i use 10.10 with wubi [12:27] whats wrong? [12:28] I can't use $git-clone, how can I git source code in ubuntu? === ubuntu__ is now known as rooks--live [12:28] ziyadb: why can't you use git-clone? [12:29] AnggaDj98: it wont let me get 10.10 with wubi [12:29] sipior "command not found" [12:30] sudo apt-get install git [12:30] ziyadb: sudo apt-get install git-core [12:30] macca: shouldnt you be off downloading the iso, write it to a usb, then run it up on windows, and run wubi? [12:30] No. [12:30] It downloads it for you, [12:30] may be faster to get the iso first. [12:30] exactly, and it only downloads 10.04 [12:30] but if you wish to download/place it in an area where Wubi can find it without downloading [12:30] yeah. ^ [12:31] sipior thanks, I'll try it out. [12:31] i have the iso for 10.10 right here [12:31] sipior: this is what i have tried so far : http://dpaste.com/533152/ [12:31] I dont reccomend Wubi at all. [12:31] UbuntuFanatic: oh thanks for calling that out i never knew that :D [12:31] No problem. :D [12:31] macca: right, you can use pendrivelinux or some similar program that runs on windows, to write the image file to USB [12:32] but did we not just establish i shouldnt do that? [12:32] What is maccas problem? [12:32] Sorry, I didn't see. [12:33] i want 10.10 with wubi but it wont appear [12:33] UbuntuFanatic: he would like to use Ubuntu with Windows (maybe within it), with USB [12:33] in wubi [12:33] I don't recommend Wubi, BTW [12:33] VirtualBox then? [12:33] no longer need usb based on what you said, just wubi [12:33] Or a dual boot.. [12:33] Oh, with USB. [12:33] well isnt that what wubi does [12:33] What now? [12:33] still its better if you partition it after back-uping windows, and you install it on that partition using USB or better, CD [12:33] airtonix: both hosts have the same NIS domain? [12:33] Wubi does a dual boot, and the performance impact is not *that* bad. [12:34] macca: wubi is fine as long as you understand that the linux file system depends on the health of your windows ntfs filesystem.. if you get a virus in windows that wants to nomnomnom your files and it happens to munch up the virtual-harddrive file that is wubi then you can say bye bye to your wubi-linux install [12:34] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21049253/Untitled.jpg this is what wubi does to me [12:34] airtonix, exactly. [12:34] macca.. [12:34] That is what is meant to happen. [12:34] airtonix: yes i understand that [12:34] Put in a user, and a password, and bam.

[12:36] So? [12:36] You can upgrade. [12:36] Wobbley, hello! [12:36] macca: Windows users will yell at you for not having AntiVirus on your system. Linux users will yell at you for installing one on your system. [12:37] red2kic, exactly. [12:37] Wobbley: You want mysql channel. [12:37] Wobbley, I can help though. [12:37] PM?

[12:38] all i need is for wubi to install 10.10 instead of 10.04 now [12:38] sipior: i wouldn't know becuase i did not set up a Network Information Service [12:38] airtonix: also, what does "automount" report? [12:38] hi all. I installed natty beta2. before that I used 10.10 with 2.6.32 kernel since the default kernel didn't support my hardware. now I tried to do the same, installed old kernel, but the boot menu is different now.

[12:41] airtonix: ah, i see why you did that. [12:41] sipior: no, i did that later on when reading bug reports on launchpad about lucid and autofs, after i googled the error about invalid nsswitch) [12:41] still says 10.04.1 whatever i try [12:41] when i execute command 'lsof ', i get no result, then 'echo $?' gives 1, any idea why it could be failing or how i can find out why? [12:42] mithran: what are you executing exactly? [12:43] airtonix: i assume host edge has been configured to share this volume with your machine, and can resolve its name? [12:44] sipior: i can mount it manually from the lucid machine using the mount command : ie $ mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 edge.home:/ /share/nfs/edge.home [12:44] macca: partition your hard drive, write the iso image to your USB stick, run it up on BIOS boot-up.

[14:36] me [14:36] ok [14:36] i want to know if i should kde or gnome [14:36] fuhckfffdsfdjnjf, #ubuntu-offtopic knows [14:36] Yella: you can run the java app in a screen and connect to that [14:37] Well i'm away, and I need to run a command in an already open terminal window on the server [14:37] fuhckfffdsfdjnjf: I prefer KDE but would suggest to use gnome because it's better supported with ubuntu [14:38] ok the thing i [14:38] s [14:38] i DONT want unity ... [14:38] Yella: then, you're out of luck, unless you turned on remote access, typically over vnc. [14:38] fuhckfffdsfdjnjf, please dont poll here [14:38] I was hoping I could just steal the output of a terminal window in SSH [14:38] can you tell me if i can gnome under 11.10 [14:38] fuhckfffdsfdjnjf, as I have said: #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat [14:38] bazhang, fuhckfffdsfdjnjf is asddssasd, same guy who was in here yesterday trolling with the same inane question [14:38] you know of any android apps to do that ENOSLEEP q? [14:38] fuhckfffdsfdjnjf: you can [14:39] tjiggi_fo, yep [14:39] Yella, ask in an android channel [14:39] Yella: there are vnc clients for android, I think, and I know you can do port forwarding using ConnectBot. [14:39] is there anyway in vmare or Virtual OS to install 64bit computer when we have originally 32 bit computers [14:39] I use NXFree on windows, but there is no Android version [14:39] Hi guys, i've just installed on a virtual machine Ubuntu server 10.04 amd64 LTS, without the graphic interface, i don't know how to run 2 program , together. I have program1 and program2 on the home folder, and I want to run them at the same time. [14:39] Yella: thre's a vnc client for android [14:39] is there anyway in vmare or Virtual OS to install 64bit OS on computer when we have originally 32 bit computers [14:39] cool [14:40] Bipul, patience dont repeat every five seconds [14:40] BAH [14:41] matteppi: what abbout using /path/to/programm1 & and /path/to/programm2 & [14:41] Anyway... I'm trying to install Pinta the Pinta Image Editor through the software center, but it won't allow it because its downloading from untrusted sources [14:41] Bipul: you want a 64bit vm on a 32bit host running a 32bit cpu? [14:41] and then the program crashes [14:41] yes ThinkT510 [14:41] is it possible ? [14:42] DreamsofanEagle: so you shouldn't use Beta Software if you not sure how to handle problems [14:42] Bipul: not sure if you can do that, and if you could it would be rather slow [14:42] schnuffle: will they run at the same time, or once one is completed, the other one will run? [14:42] forget it [14:42] you people really need to figure out how to treat people [14:42] BUt is there anything in Open SOurce that can help in out this situation [14:43] matteppi: the & sign tells the program to detach from the console and run in the background so at the end they both run in background [14:43] schnuffle: and can I, reattach the console, then? maybe to just one of the 2 [14:43] yes there's the fg command [14:44] fg [14:44] how to use? [14:44] Bipul: i suppose it depends on the emulator, try asking in virtualbox forums or qemu [14:44] or you can use screen to do the same but keep both in the foreground [14:44] what does fg do? [14:44] man fg [14:44] what's wrong with policykit in maverick and natty?! [14:45] why even bother havvving a "remember authorization" checkbox? [14:45] sorry, it brings the last detached process back [14:45] if it asks EVERY SINGLE time [14:46] hi === roby is now known as Guest35758 === XOXO1 is now known as Antwon [14:50] !ask | pointerroyden [14:50] pointerroyden: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:50] i open the Disk Utility in Ubuntu 10.10 and i can see a USB device it says it is @ /dev/sdb1 & that it isn't mounted but when I go to mount it it says: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [14:50] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mount failed. Any ideas how i can mount it? [14:52] B9: what file system is on the USB? === lag is now known as Guest96979 [14:53] schnuffle: i remormatted it to FAT but the underlying format is Master Boot Record [14:53] *reformatted [14:54] B9: in a terminal: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /yourmountpoint [14:56] is there a linux I can download that comes packaged with all of the wireless drivers? [14:56] Average_Guy: that's near impossible [14:56] Average_Guy: no [14:56] Average_Guy, try ##linux this is ubuntu support [14:56] Average_Guy: the amount of data would be astronomical [14:56] :( [14:56] Average_Guy: distributors ar enot allowed to ship non-free firmware [14:56] i have ubuntu [14:56] that sux [14:56] Average_Guy, then remaster it [14:56] !remaster > Average_Guy [14:56] Average_Guy, please see my private message [14:57] Average_Guy: if you grab a wireless which uses a chip which is known to work out of the box in Ubuntu, You won't have an issue [14:57] Average_Guy: all my wifi works with zero effort === tuxx- is now known as tuxx [14:57] can i download the packages with windowz and copy them over [14:57] Average_Guy: yes === tuxx is now known as tuxx- [14:58] Average_Guy: you can also download the packages with "sudo apt-get install -d packagename" [14:58] Average_Guy: or "packages.ubuntu.com" [14:58] if there are also ne non-free branches [14:58] hi, we are developing a client/server system and need to send notifications from the clients to the server - what mechanisms are available to do this? [14:59] schnuffle: i understand that in "yourmountpoint" i should insert "sda1" but it doesn't exist [14:59] Average_Guy: a lot of the time your chip will have a native driver [14:59] tesh: tcp/ip for example [15:00] B9: no you should create a mount point somewhere: sudo mkdir -p /media/sdb1 && sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 [15:00] B9 the mountpoint is just a directory to which your USB will be mounted [15:00] no, i have to have a hard internet connection to get the wireless packages with ubuntu, mint, etc. [15:01] iceroot: is there anything we can make use of from say perl or from a script? [15:01] rather than developing in c/c++ [15:01] tesh: client and server are on the sanem machine? [15:01] same [15:02] iceroot: no [15:02] tesh: on the side you receive messages you need a daemon accepting messages, of course this can be done in perl,python .... [15:02] Average_Guy: what network chip do you use? [15:03] tesh: have a look at shinken it's a python fork of nagios which essentially moves messages around [15:03] hi all [15:04] hi Briber [15:04] no flame, but its only me thats prefer gnome-shell instead unity? [15:04] i know we can always code something like that...i was just wondering if there was something available that we could easily and quickly make use of [15:04] ghc: that's fine, use what you wish [15:04] scnuffle: thanks i'll take a look [15:04] schnuffle: thanks i'll take a look [15:04] ghc: I prefer LXDE personally [15:04] ghc: theres #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions if you like [15:04] hi, do Ubuntu LiveCD's go into standby/suspend to ram after a while ? Mine seems to be doing that... or maybe it's just spindown hdd and screen off [15:04] ActionParsnip, ok, but as I notice, ubuntu will not support "officialy" the gnome-shell [15:05] tesh: http://docs.python.org/library/socketserver.html [15:05] ghc: gnome3 is not in the official repos, so no [15:05] tesh: I prefer python so you get python examples but any other language should provide analog stuff [15:05] schnuffle: thank you very much it works now [15:06] B9: fine, if you have some spare time have a look at the mount man page it's huge but has a lot of info [15:06] ActionParsnip, imho its a bad idea to use externas ppas for main parts of system [15:07] ghc: it can be beneficial, depends how brave you are and how important it is to you [15:07] a mouse with more than 3 buttons will work? [15:07] schnuffle: ok, so there's nothing where i can just start a daemon on the server and then start something on the client which will sent text messages to the server? [15:08] schnuffle: to be even lazier? :) [15:08] it just seems like something that would be pretty commonly done [15:08] tesh: of course: nc [15:09] schnuffle: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#Manually_Mount_and_Unmount_a_device is that what u meant specifically? [15:09] tesh: nc = netcat [15:09] hello chaps [15:09] B9: that is better for you but man page means that for nearlyy every tool on the command line you get help with: man command [15:10] B9: so man mount gives you help for the mount command [15:10] man mount [15:10] B9: yes :) [15:10] B9: in the terminal, not the irc client [15:10] thank god i don't use irssi then [15:10] Hi guys. Can i tell you how i can auto-lock xubuntu screen with password reactivation? Thx [15:11] schnuffle: ok, just reading up on it now...thanks again [15:11] tesh: your welcome [15:11] Marsixx: isn't the default shortcut Super+L [15:12] schnuffle: would it quite reasonable to set up client/server comms for our software in this way? [15:12] Marsixx: sorry CTRL+ALT+L [15:12] ActionParsnip, well, Im really thinkng of change distro.. last was gentoo, now ubuntu.. next? I think that is so important this official support. but I like ubuntu. [15:12] ghc, support for what? [15:12] ghc: have a sniff around, see what suits your needs. What is the OS for? [15:12] schnuffle: the daemon would need to be always running to collect notifications [15:13] schnuffle: and so looking for a robust solution [15:13] i need automatically after 1-2 min! I'm in remote desktop! [15:13] tesh: Yes, but I would clearly choose something more robust then nc [15:13] schnuffle: or is this more for one-off kind of transfers [15:13] Ububegin, gnome3, gnome-shell - gnome itself is a very important standard [15:13] Hi all. Can anyone tell me the meaning of the file names foremost gives to recovered files? Is it a timestamp of some kind? If so, does it relate to any property of the original file or does it just indicate the order in which foremost recovered the file? (I know I can't get the original filenames back, I just want to know where to wade in to find the most recent versions) [15:13] tesh: it's more for one of [15:13] Wait, [15:13] hang on. [15:13] I can't "ping ::1" [15:13] but I could in Maverick. [15:13] Why is this? ;s [15:13] tesh: in which language or software will/is written? [15:14] doubi: do you mean those found in /lost+found/ ? [15:14] schnuffle: right yeah [15:14] UbuntuFanatic, gnome3, gnome-shell - gnome itself is a very important standard [15:14] ActionParsnip: need automatically after 1-2 min! I'm in remote desktop! [15:14] schnuffle: the other scripts we have so far are in perl [15:14] UbuntuFanatic: did you actually have ipv6 connectivity in maverick? [15:14] Marsixx: do you mean RDP to windows or VNC to an Ubuntu system? [15:14] schnuffle: so would like to keep it in that now [15:14] ohsix, not globally, but a loopback would work. [15:14] Is gnome 3 basically gnome-shell? [15:14] ohsix, No, I used "foremost" manually [15:14] My ISP does not support it. [15:14] UbuntuFanatic: surely you want to "ping6 ::1" ? [15:14] Oh. /fail [15:15] doubi: i don't know what that is, sorry [15:15] Sorry, epic fail on my part. [15:15] ohsix, np :) [15:15] hi, An error occured in avast! engine: 无效的参数 [15:15] ActionParsnip: Yes, VNC windows to Xubuntu. i need Xubuntu to auto lock screen after 1/2 min with passwd reactivation! [15:15] zhangcheng, report it! [15:15] tesh: perl isn't my domain but it should be fairly easy to write some commuinication protocoll, perl should have everything you need in CPAN [15:15] cdavis_: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/gnome-3-with-gnome-shell-has-finally.html [15:15] Pumpkin-, sorry. I was stupid for a second, got it now. Kudos. :) [15:15] Marsixx: why all the exclamation marks? [15:16] doubi: from the sound of it it wouldn't even be the inode number or anything like you'd find in /lost+found/ merely sequential [15:16] schnuffle: what should i be searching for - 'client server messaging'? [15:16] Marsixx: does VNC stop the screensaver kicking in? [15:16] schnuffle: im not sure what this topic is [15:17] tesh: tcp/ip networking sockets [15:17] zchangheng, report it. [15:17] But you don't need an Anti Virus on Linux. :P! [15:17] tesh: http://www.perlfect.com/articles/sockets.shtml [15:17] ohsix, drat. Hmm, it's odf files I'm looking for. I guess I can search for where they record the last modified time... [15:18] UbuntuFanatic: Its good on mail servers as well as file servers with windows clients [15:18] schnuffle: ah ok, i'll take a look. thanks again for the tips [15:18] tesh: your welcome [15:18] ActionParsnip, didn't think of it like that. [15:18] UbuntuFanatic: so in those instances you do, making your statement not true [15:18] mhm. [15:18] its ok to have "one more graphic shell" (or maybe its not ok) [15:18] You don't actually need one though.] [15:18] ActionParsnip: Oh sorry :-P, is working fine: i set the right time in screensaver settings. Thank you for your support 'n' time ;) Bye [15:18] note, *need* [15:19] Because you aren't executing them on the linux box. [15:19] UbuntuFanatic: ;) [15:19] It's just them being served. [15:19] doubi: what filesystem was it from? you could use something like testdisk which isn't forensic recovery [15:19] Ha, thanks for that. :D [15:19] my ubuntu is bcoming increasingly slow [15:19] things open much slower now than they used to [15:20] debd: you sure its not just you speeding up? ;) [15:20] debd: how much slower? [15:20] ohsix, ext4~ Looking around that seemed to mean proper doom [15:20] UbuntuFanatic: just watch huge sweeping statements, there will be exceptions a lot of the time [15:20] ayecee: a lot [15:20] Yeah [15:20] debd: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [15:20] hello [15:20] doubi: yea, sorta; if it was written to at all [15:20] debd: could you quantify that? [15:20] ThinkT510: nope. am serious [15:21] ayecee: the busy icon bfore opening some app stays as long as 5secs [15:21] debd: how long did it stay before? [15:21] ayecee: much faster [15:21] ohsix, unfortunately I didn't actually realise a perl script I was working on was intermittently deleting parts of my home folder until some crucial time later :-) [15:21] debd: how much faster? [15:21] ayecee: 1sec [15:21] debd: can you give the output of the command I gave please [15:21] debd: ok [15:22] ayecee: man am not joking [15:22] ActionParsnip: yeah [15:22] debd: not saying you are. I just had no further questions. [15:23] ActionParsnip: the command? === no is now known as Guest58105 [15:23] debd: lsb_release -d [15:24] debd: look or scroll up...

[15:46] erUSUL : but thats happening :/ [15:47] nkn: force isn't needed [15:47] ActionParsnip : it's the same with or without force [15:47] nkn: is the only error you get? or you get another error for files within the dir? maybe there is a file you can not remove inside the dir that is failing [15:47] nkn: there is also: rmdir foldername [15:47] ohsix: Not sure really, the system doesn't stay up long enough for me to do much -- whatever the default is [15:48] nkn: using force as the normal way you do it is a really bad habit [15:48] erUSUL : the folders are empty [15:48] nkn: is your user the owner of the folder? [15:48] nkn: no hidden files either? [15:48] nkn: the directory probably isn't empty; is it on a samba/cifs or remote mount of any type? what filesystem, if not [15:49] ActionParsnip , erUSUL :yes i'm the user and no hidden files [15:49] nkn: if the directory is an in-use moint point, or if you're in the directory you're trying to use, it won't let you remove it [15:49] nkn: does rmdir not work? [15:50] CMH-Dan: even if the proprietary driver failed to install, have you tried it every time you encountered a black screen on reboot? [15:50] ohsix: it's an external hdd [15:50] help! .. installed a drupal website onto a TKL (ubuntu) LAMP stack and getting forced back to the home page repeatedly ... there was an article that said "Further investigation shows that it is likely that a recent Ubuntu security update is the cause for this breakage. Argh!" ... any ideas ? [15:50] ActionParsnip: it's not working eighter [15:50] nkn: post "ls -al dirctory/" and "ls -ld dirctory/" in a pastebin. also "ls -ld parentdir/" [15:50] nkn: is the filesystem mounted read only? [15:50] hi there ubuntu users [15:50] CJack: well if it was you could always check out the list of security updates and find out what was in them, also; what's a TKL? [15:50] do anyone knows a good econometric software avalaible for linux ? [15:51] hi [15:51] CJack: that guy didn't do enough further investigation to not have found the security update that did it, fyi; wherever you're reading it from [15:51] !equivalents [15:51] A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot [15:51] is there any guide for troubleshoot and tune with netstat -s output ? [15:51] thx ubottu [15:51] rasfish: like a spreadsheet or scientific/statistcial software? [15:51] ohsix: afraid i am a neophyte in linux .. just a few months of learning ... TKL is TurnKey Linux [15:51] yeah exactly ohsix ! [15:52] something like Eviews [15:52] CJack: most 3rd party ubuntu variants aren't supported here [15:52] ohsix: I'm not sure about everytime - usually get frustrated with it after a few attempts and boot back into windows [15:52] ohsix: its not a variant ... its a preconfigured install (turnkey) [15:52] rasfish: ah not sure; there are quite a few math packagtes that do that sort of thing, but i don't have the background to have checked them all out [15:52] whats the benefit of using something like amazon simple email service vs getting your own smtp server going? [15:53] anyone know how to change the order of spelling suggestions in aspell? I want the suggestions defined in my personal aspell.en.prepl file to take precedence. google and man aspell aren't helping [15:53] hehe I'll try them all, I've plenty of time [15:53] CMH-Dan: well if you never attempt to install them, the installed version should be pretty close to the livecd, which is already running === cdavis_ is now known as cdavis [15:53] thx anyway [15:53] fission6: you pay less than it costs to run your own and they have to deal with the headaches [15:53] !find makeinfo [15:53] ohsix: TKL has built a library of over 40 applications from LAMP stacks to mailservers ... all based on stable ubuntu [15:53] File makeinfo found in emacs-snapshot-common, emacs-snapshot-el, emacs22-common, emacs22-el, emacs23-common, emacs23-el, manpages-ja, manpages-zh, octave3.2-common, octave3.2-htmldoc (and 6 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=makeinfo&mode=&suite=maverick&arch=any [15:53] what are the headaches [15:53] * derin slaps derin around a bit with a large trout [15:53] hmm. [15:54] just a hint for usability: i watched a up-to-then windows-only-user install ubuntu via the windows-installer. 95% went really nice, but then thus strange question did show up: http://ompldr.org/vOGJsdA (translated^=system of keyboard entering method) even i having used linux quite some years didn't know what that should mean [15:54] rasfish: "r" has a bunch of packages to do financial work; but will probably be lacking in user interface [15:55] nadar: never seen that, do you use a touchscreen or any fancy hardware? [15:56] ohsix: thanks, going see if not attempting the install produces the same behaviour [15:56] ActionParsnip, nope. that was a "normal" notebook [15:56] ohsix, what are the headaches [15:56] nadar: then i'd research what each option is which you have been given then choose [15:56] ActionParsnip, but i can't tell anymore. that was on a linuxday [15:56] ActionParsnip, would be very great idea when one installs that at home and wlan does not work atm :) [15:56] nadar: picking ibus by default is probably prudent, but there should be a blurb about wanting to enter foreign languages at all; or maybe omit it alltogether [15:57] nadar: you can file a bug for that btw [15:57] ActionParsnip: whats the latest version you've ran the installer from str8 off the livecd? [15:57] grrrr @ freenode -.- [15:57] ActionParsnip: because they change quite a bit, i was surprised how nice 10.10 was when i reinstalled [15:58] nadar: you can file a bug for that btw [15:58] bbl [15:58] ohsix, please give a link [15:58] ohsix: latest version of what? [15:58] Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like to use ubuntu on a computer used in a television show. Do i need to worry about trademark issues etc?

[16:01] nkn: are there any files from the folder open at the moment. You can check with: lsof | grep War [16:01] nkn: aaaaa contains a dir called World of warcraf. that's why it complains it is not empty .... [16:01] ActionParsnip: Thank you. [16:02] nkn: if World of warcraf is waht you want to remove thenyou pasted the incorrect info :) [16:02] podskazhite kak popast v russian canal [16:03] !ru [16:03] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [16:03] erUSUL : i want to delete everything including the aaaaa folder, there are several folders in aaaaa and all of them are empty [16:03] ya toka izuchay linux [16:03] chogoling: i think there are a couple of boot options you can use something like rootwait [16:04] chogoling: rootwait [KNL] Wait (indefinitely) for root device to show up.

[16:05] ActionParsnip : command returns nothing [16:06] so do I type rootdelay like at the black and white screen, or do I edit some GRUB file? [16:06] nkn: hmm, then the folder is not in use [16:06] erUSUL : browsing through the folders with hidden files shown, theres nothing in them [16:06] chogoling: edit it in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub to apply [16:06] chogoling: if you want it to stick add it to /etc/default/grub to thwe string that contains quiet and splash [16:07] chogoling: and run sudo update-grub like ActionParsnip points out [16:07] how do I do that?

I just did sudo apt-get install imagemagick but when I try to use "Convert" it says "Convert: command not found" [17:44] JeffJassky: maybe it's in lower case [17:44] oops.. looks like it's all lowercase maybe [17:44] shcherbak: another question, how do i know if i'm running above compiz or metacity? i just installed the default 10.10 installation, then upgraded to natty and it looks like the compiz package is already installed [17:44] :) [17:44] what is the best way to run ubuntu as a virtual machine under windows 7? which hypervisor should i go for?

[17:45] LordNeo: htop can help, but, if you have effects, it is compiz, is not Natty beta? [17:45] treonaut: the installcd? or your installed system? or what exactly? [17:45] fadax: i doubt many people here will recommend vmware because its closed source [17:45] I have had issues getting vmware to work. virtualbox is much simpiler to get going i find. [17:46] thanks shcherbak [17:46] fluffybit: you can open second file in vim and use visual mode (triggered by "v") [17:46] VMware Player is much faster than virtualbox per my experience [17:46] will check the logs first and try to solve all the issues i can. About natty, yes, it's beta, but #ubuntu+1 looks more a general conversation channel than a support one [17:46] oh right ok, i see.. so if i choose to use virtualbox how can i get it to run the paravirtualized version of ubuntu? do i have to download a different distro? [17:47] fadax, what are you trying to do? [17:47] Dr_Willis: I have a dozble boot grub windows and ubuntu, ubuntu always stoped on busybox I used to type exit and it runs normal, but now I [17:48] im installing windows xp in virtualbox on ubuntu right now. rreason: i want to make an usb stick with the windows installation files to install windows to my harddrive. [17:48] fadax: paravirtualization is kinda' extreme for a simple ubuntu testing, virtualbox will do all you need by default and without hassle (and in my personal testing, consuming a lot less resources than VMWare) [17:48] LordNeo well i want to install ubuntu as a virtual machine on windows 7, and i just want to make sure i go about it the best way to get optimal performance [17:48] changed the cpu and motherbord i7 it never opens ubuntu remains on busybox.....cant find harddisk [17:48] :( [17:49] oh right ok i see [17:49] well thanks, i'll think about it [17:49] chaoticoz: use unetbootin to copy the usb stick with the windowsxp image [17:49] treonaut, when you type exit it boots .. yes? [17:49] unetbootin? [17:49] Dr_Willis: sorry the text came in two parts [17:49] fadax: no problem, and if you need anything just pm me [17:49] chaoticoz:http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [17:49] installed no [17:50] now* [17:50] treonaut, does it still boot after typing exit?

[17:52] no coz_: [17:52] LordNeo, how do i execute a .bin file [17:52] :( [17:53] treonaut, you probably will have to reinstall... you can probably use the olde motherboard to save any files from that install,, but if you change the hardware especially the motherboard,, it is best to reinstall to let the install detect that particular hardware [17:53] humf... nobody can help me, for remove my packed [17:54] found it LordNeo , but the application seems to crash. asks me for a password then disappears [17:54] ceo, I didnt see your post [17:54] sorry chaoticoz, i'm back [17:54] Trying to install a game in Wine, but execute bit refuses to let me even set execute permissions via root to the install executable [17:54] it should show a little window that shows the options [17:55] coz_: I always dreamed that I can use everything as before...is there no way anybody helps me to tell him, maybe on the grub, where the HD is?

If you want somthing to start simpily. add it to /etc/rc.local [18:04] treonaut, read this through several times before attempting it http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [18:05] Jordan_U: thanks having a look [18:05] cheche: Installing grub-pc and grub-common pacakges from Ubuntu 10.10 should work arund the problem. [18:05] Otherwide you will need a complex init.d script for your service. [18:05] Starminn on a flash stick, either way, from root I should be able to force the permissions no? [18:05] QuiSE, looks like you download that .deb file, then follow the instructinos [18:05] /etc/rc.local is the easy way... [18:05] cheche: Sorry I can't help you more on details as I need to leave now. [18:06] Jordan_U: that is more that what I have thanks! [18:06] when I try the url it i cant read the file [18:06] KM0201 [18:06] bivo: Hmm.... You could always just try to copy the file over into somewhere in ~ [18:06] Jordan_U: I will try next time to forward to Colin Watson [18:06] KM0201: "Oops! This link appears to be broken." [18:06] yeah... [18:07] if i have a computer with 2GB ram, that also could support 64 bit, would anyone of you suggest that i used ubuntu 64 bit instead of 32 bit ? or would anyone suggest staying on the 32bit version ? [18:08] would there be any performance increase using the 64b version in this case with 2GB ram ? [18:08] Kriss-|-: yes, you'll want a 64-bit operating system. if you already have a working 32-bit system, though, it's probably not worth the trouble of reinstalling. [18:08] KM0201: suggestion? I know its a -.deb file but I dont know how to feed it to .deb to install it [18:08] I'm trying to mount my old HOME dir, so that I can migrate a bunch of data from it, but because I used ecryptfs (at install), and I guess because I'm not mounting it where it's supposed to be., I keep getting an error about it not being setup properly. [18:08] QuiSE, well, i wasn't even able to download it... hang on a sec, looking. === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [18:08] Kriss-|- you may use 64 bit version without problem. 2gb ram is ok. [18:08] KM0201: ok [18:09] is there any increase in performance ? [18:09] Kriss-|-: that depends on a number of considerations. [18:09] and also, is there equally number of apps supported for the 64bit version ? [18:09] QuiSE, try #149 here... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/+bug/636311 [18:09] Ubuntu bug 636311 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse" [High,Fix released] [18:10] Kriss-|- in some graphics card, like nvidia and intel, i have note increase of performace [18:10] considering ram usage, does 64 bit use more ? [18:10] Kriss-|-: yes. [18:10] is it me or does the floodbot not work? if just /j ubuntu again it seems to let you through... [18:10] Kriss-|-: ive heard 64bit apps use a little more ram. but never noticed it being an issue === Guest64445 is now known as sloopy [18:10] ok [18:10] hello [18:10] Kriss-|- yes... because the OS uses 64 and 32 libs (for compatibility with old apps) [18:10] like flash player [18:11] KM did that url work for you to DL the file?

I never knew Ubuntu had this directory. [18:14] I mean it literally gets super hot to the touch..

Stay with Ubuntu class (no effects) [18:16] I say they should go Gnome 3 with Gnome Shell and forget about Unity. === oleg is now known as Guest22267 [18:16] or Ubuntu classic with a healthy well-cooled cpu and video card === Gurke is now known as Guest46392 [18:16] maxagaz: it takes a certain amount of bits to represent each frame in a video. If you lower the bitrate, there's less bits to represent each frame, and so the frame is not presented as accurately. [18:16] I've heard enough about Gnome 3 to be pretty skeptical about that as well. [18:17] y [18:17] ayecee, so it will affect its quality ? [18:17] maxagaz: that is, as you lower the bitrate, the quality degrades, yes. [18:17] can someone help me, i need to update the "ar" file under "binutils", because it causes "*** buffer overflow detected ***: ar terminated" while compiling anything, but I cant update binutils because of the same problem? === Toxic is now known as Guest39263 [18:18] Hi to all. [18:18] maxagaz: however, the reduced quality is often acceptable, especially if playing on a smaller screen. === herton_lunch is now known as herton [18:18] ayecee, but bitrate is expressed in kbps, why isn't it in bit per frame ?

[18:20] maxagaz: the number of bits per frame varies. frames that are easily compressible don't need many, while very busy frames need more [18:20] ok fine.. [18:21] spior thanks ! [18:21] i hate unity! === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [18:21] maxagaz: the kbps is how much bandwidth the encoder aims for or is allowed to use per second to represent the frames within. [18:21] how to upgrade mozilla to 4.0 [18:22] !ff4 [18:22] 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 [18:22] ayecee, I begin to understand [18:22] Anyone have a clue how to disable SSH from auto booting ? [18:23] ayecee, can the bitrate be variable for a video ? [18:23] !latest [18:23] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

[18:32] sipior: i did *when i installed w7*, and by accident, the w7 installer added the new installation of w7 onto the old w7 (on the other disk)'s bootloader [18:32] sipior: for the installation of ubuntu i removed it [18:33] TheMG: sure you removed the right one? [18:33] sipior: yep, right size [18:33] TheMG: Close M$ "good" way, to let ubuntu see drive ok, use Drive Utis in live session to make sure everything is ok.

(i think) [19:21] Adis34: right click the desktop -> new launcher [19:21] ActionParsnip: i have two hard drives. when i installed w7, it accidentally added itself to the bootloader of the OS on the other hard drive (sdb), could this be related? [19:21] KevinDivide: yeah, you need any help? [19:21] Dr_Willis: I'm not too good with the mount command and scripting, I'm used to just sticking the disk in the drive and typing A: [19:22] !mount | ASTComputerResea [19:22] ASTComputerResea: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [19:22] Dr_Willis, can you tell me how to disable the shh server on startup ? [19:22] I dont want it to auto start. [19:22] BlipInTheData: rename the /etc/init/ssh.conf file to be like ssh.DONTRUN [19:22] BlipInTheData: or edit its contents.. and tell it to not start. [19:22] thank you :) [19:23] not like its taking a lot of resources... [19:23] No but I don't like it running, cause of security. [19:23] ThinkT510: Yes, need some help. [19:23] TheMG: just win7 in the bootloader? [19:24] BlipInTheData: the biggest danger i find to a Ubuntu system.. is the admin/owner.. not knowing what they are doing. :) [19:24] KevinDivide: tell the channel your problem and if anyone knows the solution they'll talk [19:24] Also, I would like to know how to get my serial PalmPilot Professional to sync with ubuntu [19:24] ASTComputerResea: you may need add an entry for it in /etc/fstab [19:24] ActionParsnip: Do you know how? [19:24] ASTComputerResea: you would proberly have to hit up google for that. Or the forums.. [19:25] I got an OLD serial palmpilot. :) not had it out in yeras.

[19:25] Usb mouse works.. but I'm left wondering what the fish happened [19:25] Dr_Willis, haha sure, but I just started this week. [19:25] ASTComputerResea: you can add: /dev/fd0/media/floppyautorw,noauto,user,sync0 0 all I did was websearch, and I found it...imagine [19:25] ActionParsnip: no, on the old hard drive i had an installation of w7 and a wubi install of ubuntu, these appear, as does the new installation of w7 [19:25] BlipInTheData: my router blocks incomming ssh from the internet. so i can just leave it running and use it on the local lan.

[19:26] I made a launcher for a game and its not starting up, how do i make it start up with WINE [19:26] ASTComputerResea: you can then push in a floppy and run: sudo mount /dev/fd0 [19:27] Adis34: try including wine at the beginning of the command [19:27] ASTComputerResea: in the output I butchered the spaces, its: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 [19:27] Yeah its there Padster [19:27] ASTComputerResea: you'll need to run: sudo mkdir /media/floppy to make the mount point [19:27] Im adding the command wine steam -silent -applaunch 400 -window -novid -dxlevel 80 -width 1024 -height 768 [19:27] Adis34: so you have "wine /path/to/exe"?

[19:56] does that mean my installation has bad now? [19:56] I'm in urgent need of help. I have an external esata drive that has suddenly just 'lost' lots of folders. The weird thing is the space is still used on the drive and when I run "ls" the folders show up. nautilus (run as user or root) fails to see the folders. What is going off!? [19:56] is there a command i can add to the 'tar' command to create the directory? [19:57] itilious: how's about you just type "sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin" before the tar part?

[22:19] i have been all over the forums, and no solution seemed to work [22:19] ayecee, i know how it works but i had trouble in the past [22:19] CD images wouldnt work on dvds etc [22:19] Is anyone using Ubuntu on the first Asus Eee netbook with 4GB SSD? [22:19] r4ykid: weird. they should work on dvds without a problem. [22:19] Milos_SD: any particular reason you're asking? [22:20] ayecee, well i hope i have a cd lying around. thank you [22:20] ayecee, I need to install it on that one tomorow :) [22:20] ThinkT510: ": Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:20] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [22:20] And I never used a netbook, and don't know what version of ubuntu to install to it... [22:20] Trying to install Additinal Drivers (My ATI-card) :: getting this: SystemError: InstallArchives() Failed [22:21] Milos_SD: either the netbook or desktop version should be fine. [22:21] can normal version be used? will there be a lack of space on an ssd? [22:21] ArmyMan007: thats odd, maybe somebody here can help you [22:21] ThinkT510: but I thought YOU can help me... :'( [22:21] Milos_SD: the default install should go without a hitch, but yeah, that will not be much space to work with. [22:21] ArmyMan007, [22:21] ayecee, can Natty with Unity3D work on it? [22:22] Milos_SD: natty questions in #ubuntu+1 [22:22] what's upstart's equivalent of /etc/init.d, where I can see the startup scripts for various daemons [22:22] ArmyMan007: thats never happened to me so i wouldnt know how to troubleshoot it [22:22] Milos_SD: but, probably not 3d. [22:23] ThinkT510: well tough luck for me... i've tried all the forums and FA [22:23] is there Unity2D for Maverick? [22:23] ThinkT510: well tough luck for me... i've tried all the forums and FAQ's out there [22:23] Milos_SD: not in the official repositories, no. [22:23] if there is, I'll create a custom install USB with that from vbox :) [22:23] lklkl [22:23] remove all not essential packages (gnome2 session)... [22:24] ArmyMan007: theres more expert people here than i am, perhaps they know how to help, ask the channel [22:24] Milos_SD: oh, wait, 10.10 netbook uses unity by default. [22:24] hello guys [22:24] what's a good IDE for UBUNTU? [22:24] vacho: eclipse [22:24] eclipse: for PHP [22:24] ayecee, yes, but that is the old one... it is very slow as I hear :) [22:24] vacho, try Netbeans for PHP... :) [22:25] CALLING ALL CHANNEL!!! is there anyone out here who can help me with multilingual music playing error?

[22:25] vacho, Netbeans have FTP support [22:25] i have gconf-editor open...when do i go to remove icons from the desktop ?? [22:25] It is much faster then Eclipse [22:26] trying netbeans [22:26] ayecee: trying to play hebrew songs with an MP3 format on rhythmbox music player, but doesn't want to. quits the program. so does realplayer 11 for linux [22:27] ArmyMan007: is it gagging on the filename or the contents? If you rename it to test.mp3, does it play? [22:27] ayecee: let me check it [22:28] i patched my kernel to get my Alps touchpad recognized as more than a ps/2 mouse, and I see it in preferences/pointing devices, but i still have no mousewheel emulation.. disabling it doesnt disable it so i think its confused. [22:28] Hello everyone [22:28] hello if i want to make an alias for all users, where to make that? [22:29] What driver does ubuntu ship with for wireless? [22:29] arcsky: maybe /etc/profile [22:29] arcsky: or a new file in /etc/profile.d [22:29] i have gconf-editor open...when do i go to remove icons from the desktop ?? [22:29] ayecee: thanks [22:29] anyone here using the magic trackpad? [22:29] Cody3290: different drivers for different wireless hardware [22:30] Cody3290, it ships with hundreds [22:30] ayecee: it's funny... i tried to play a song with a hebrew title and idtag as an individual and it worked. when i tried to add multiple songs it just quits [22:30] I have Atheros 5001x, which would it be using? === Douche is now known as derp === Andrew_ is now known as Andrew131 [22:30] AR5001x, sorry [22:31] how can i make ssh keys for localhost, i tried but i still need to input password [22:31] ? [22:31] Cody3290: pci or usb? [22:31] ArmyMan007: perhaps its the sing-stacking process that doesnt support hewbre [22:31] pci [22:31] how do i remove the harddrive icons from the desktop [22:31] song* [22:32] Cody3290: what is the pci id? you can find it in the output of "lspci -nn", it'll look like xxxx:xxxx [22:32] ayecee: Am I supposed to get a block of text when i run that? [22:32] Cody3290: yes [22:32] TheBuntu, gconfeditor has the option to not show mounted devices on the desktop [22:32] QuiSE: but it doesn't explain why it doesn't work on realplayer which should support this... it's a bug way back from 7.04, thought it should be fixed by now... [22:33] ayecee: 168c:001c [22:33] ArmyMan007: sounds strange, sorry cant help. I just know some c++ and know some common mistakes. [22:34] Cody3290: looks like the driver is named ath5k [22:34] QuiSE: well at least you try... but it doesn't seem as if i can get an answer to it [22:34] ArmyMan007: what happens if you change the titles? does it work ? [22:34] ayecee: Alright, thank you. [22:35] Cody3290, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072 [22:35] karlhunt, where at in gconf...i been looking [22:35] TheBuntu, hang on ill check [22:35] is there a way for ubuntu to recognize a pci device addition like adding a NIC on the fly without rebooting? [22:35] QuiSE: it works the same as if i'm working it as an individual, but i can't start changing all the names to english titles... [22:35] \q [22:35] \quit [22:35] jiffe98: yes, but it requires a motherboard that supports hotswap pci. [22:35] i built g++ 4.6.0 on maverick and used checkinstall to create a deb, is anybody interested in testing it? [22:36] ArmyMan007: write a script containing google translate :) [22:36] jiffe98: that's rare outside of high-end server. [22:36] ayecee: I'm using vmware which lets me add nics I just need to find a way to get ubuntu to find it [22:36] jiffe98: ah. I have no idea how that would work. [22:36] ArmyMan007: or... if your really lucky you and try to put a A or 1 infront of the hewbre name perhaps. [22:36] QuiSE: thanks, but no thanks... i guess i should move to the linux channel maybe they can help me there.. [22:38] Whenever i click the mail button on the indicator applet in Gnome, it always opens up Evolution, is there any way o change the email client to thunderbird? [22:38] tjiggi_fo: I have maverick meerkat, but that's besides the point. ath5k is apparnetly made by the same developers as madwifi, and they're devoting more time/energy to ath5k than madwifi, seeing as how madwifi hasn't been updated since 2.6.25 [22:38] Howdy, I'm running GNOME on 10.10, and it's been saying "Launching KNOtify" in the bottom corner ever since I turned my computer on, and it's slowing my whole system down. Is there a way to cancel the launch (that looks like it's no longer responding/has crashed)?

[22:39] TheBuntu, if you can't find something in gconf-editor there is a search function under edit, [22:40] is there some sort of app that can parse the filenames of media files (along with metadata), scrape for information, and then rename the file accordingly? Something like TheRenamer for windows? [22:40] does flash 10 work in linux? [22:40] I get an error [22:40] when trying to instal [22:40] toad__ how are you installing? [22:40] nah .. Im going back to 10.04.2 ... 10.10 isnt very stable imo [22:41] blz: I used to think that would be great, but then I realized how hilariously inconsistent the ID3 tags were too. [22:41] ayecee: well this is for tv shows. i should have specified [22:41] toad__: yes [22:42] karlhunt, ok..Thanks got it.... yeah but when you dont know what your looking for...sometimes these search and seek options can be trickey...you put the wrong word..you get nothing [22:42] Hi, it's me again, I managed to run ubuntu ... anyway, it doesn't see my sound card, what can I do?

[23:44] add mask [23:44] shcherbak, I planned on going through a live USB and just deleting the partition, I figured out which was Ubuntu [23:45] shcherbak, I was just wondering if I should delete the extended, which covers the 110 ext4 and the 3.0 Swap, or just the ext4. [23:46] anyone here know regex? [23:46] Chubcorp: delete just partition with existing ubuntu and leave swap use manual way to install [23:46] eoss: what do you need? [23:46] eoss: many dialects of regex btw [23:46] Chubcorp: Thats fine, but you will need to recover MBR for windows, ask in #windows for details, liveCD method is OK to the point of removing Ubuntu. [23:46] href\s*=\s*[\'\"]\s*(.+?)\s*[\'\"] works but adding question marks after the brackets dont [23:46] Im sure there is someone more knowledgeable than I on what I need help with [23:47] ive found you can leave quotes out of the href entirely and the link still works [23:47] Java chat applet issue? Help? [23:47] Chubcorp: do you want to delete Ubuntu and run only windows? [23:47] shcherbak, so your saying that if I delete the partition, it won't see windows? [23:48] zvacet, yes, I know crazy, but the computer is a loaner and the owner doesn't want linux on it when I give it back. [23:48] Chubcorp: No, you can convert them to NTFS, to have second in M$, but you may have trouble to boot, after you will remove grub. [23:49] Chubcorp: delete linux paritition boot from windows 7 recovery cd and start console run bootsect /nt60 C:\ [23:49] Chubcorp: reboot and woilla [23:49] will do-dist-upgrade get me from 8.04 (the only CD i have with me) to 10.10? [23:49] Chubcorp: Resizing partitions is considered dangerous, other tasks ultimately safe. [23:50] eoss: single character is . not ? in regex [23:50] Chubcorp: read http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe before you delete ubuntu [23:50] syslq, I don't have the boot disk, in fact I don't even have a disk drive. [23:50] syslq: im trying to say there can either be a ' or " but it doesnt have to be there [23:51] guys. [23:51] zvacet, thanks I'll check it out, but as long as it doesn't show a second partition, I'll be fine, so I don't necessarily need to resize. [23:51] anyone using aptana?? I can't see the file menu [23:51] eoss: that depents on pattern you're describing \" is instructing regex to take " as ordinary character, part of a pattern [23:52] will do-dist-upgrade get me from 8.04 (the only CD i have with me) to 10.10? [23:52] Chubcorp: you can create rescue cd from windows 7 [23:52] Ziber: no yo uwill just upgrade packages and you can not upgrade to 10.10 but you can upgrade to 10.04 directly [23:52] and how can i get to 10.10? [23:53] syslq: im describing this pattern href\s*=\s*[\'\"]\s*(.+?)\s*[\'\"] and im trying to say 0 or 1 of either the single quotes or double quotes [23:53] Ziber: after upgrade to 10.04 of with fresh install [23:53] Hello people, I'm looking for some knowledge. [23:53] syslq, I have XP, and don't know a thing about windows. zvacet, the admin has restricted access to the C drive. [23:54] zvacet: hm? [23:54] CptAnon, what is your question? [23:54] openbsd [23:54] eoss: Do you need string between href and whitespace? [23:54] Chubcorp: fix.mbr will allow you to remove ubuntu and still boot in windows [23:55] shcherbak: i need whats inside the quotes, if they exist or not [23:55] zvacet, do you know of a way into the C drive from Ubuntu? then I could put fix.mbr in there from here? [23:55] question mark after the bracket didnt work for some reason [23:56] Ok my question is this: I'm trying to learn to program in C and I made the hello world program work but to make it work I had to cc -c and cc-o first and I don't know what that means? [23:56] eoss: you could try {0,1} before [\", \'] [23:56] CptAnon: mount it. [23:56] how about \'|\"? [23:56] Chubcorp: * [23:57] CptAnon, you might get more information in the #programming channel :) [23:57] Chubcorp: you can mount ntfs just fine, but you cant run fixmbr from linux, what you can do is boot from xp install cd, choose recovery console and use fixmbr from there [23:57] c'è qualche italiano? [23:57] Chubcorp : you should be able to read and write to ntfs from ubuntu but you will have to run fix.mbr from windows [23:57] Ziber, mount what? [23:57] CptAnon: sorry, wrong person.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:57] ok thanks coz_ [23:57] mi hanno bannato li [23:57] will try that [23:57] :( [23:57] senza motivo [23:57] i'm trying to use rhythmbox with my iPod but i can't even mount my iPod [23:58] luca__: jovanotti still raps?

[23:59] zvacet: thanks [23:59] Ziber: after that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
