[00:21] shcherbak, folders and files [00:22] nicofs: find . -name "*ko" [00:23] shcherbak, finds quite a lot of *ko [00:24] nicofs: You can save it to file, or rerun find with exec [00:25] shcherbak, what would be the line after "exec"?

I am using moblock, I can see from the idiot log that a certain ip was blocked, it does not provide any other info?? [00:46] netstat -p maybe? [00:46] almoxarife: sudo netstat -telp or netstat [00:46] maybe? :) [00:46] yeah what he said [00:47] netstat catches the process then prior to the block effect? [00:47] hey, i just installed 10.10 netbook on an eeepc 9", 4GB hdd, 512MB ram, but it's too sluggish. any better alternatives [00:47] 11.04 beta 2 [00:48] jakobbg: xubuntu, lubuntu or start from server and choose what you want [00:48] Jon_4248: is that less of a resource hog? [00:48] i found 10.10 slow on my netbook [00:48] how can i update my 10.10 to 11.04? [00:48] i was considering xubuntu, yes [00:48] almoxarife: it looks sockets, see man netstat and man nmap [00:49] *watch* [00:49] Jon_4248: natty is offtopic here, it is supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day [00:49] Scowboy, ; http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=936&q=10.10+to+11.04&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&fp=5c57203f23eb54d1 [00:50] jakobbg: are you fully updated?

[00:51] i have it setup and i can connect, but i cant access anything. somehow its not forwarding my requests [00:52] almoxarife: ok, iftop, ngrep, tcpstat (?) for live network monitoring [00:52] gueriLLaPunK: you may need a route command or two to shape the traffic for web access [00:52] how do i do that, ActionParsnip? [00:52] the server that i have pptpd setup on is in a datacenter [00:52] almoxarife: there are two states: listen or established [00:53] i guess xfce still is much faster on small computers compared to gnome? [00:53] Hi, i have a 500 External drive, I use to plug this driver on linux and Windows machine, I want to put some passwords on the External drive, that every can not use/view/copy my files, How can i do it, Any help !! [00:53] gueriLLaPunK: think about how the traffic is shaped, if the pptp connection give you the web connection you will need to tell the OS to use that to get to your default gateway, as well as set the gateway if necessary [00:53] jakobbg: if you answer my simple questions, I can advise. LXDE is faster [00:54] unfortunately, that was hard for me to comprehend, ActionParsnip [00:54] gueriLLaPunK: its simple networking stuffs [00:54] ActionParsnip: sorry, you asked? scrollback is hard here :) [00:54] sarthor: Easier is to encrypt whole drive (partition) or files, No clue about M$ solution, thou. [00:55] (00:50:01) ActionParsnip: jakobbg: are you fully updated? [00:55] (00:50:13) ActionParsnip: jakobbg: what is the full model name? [00:55] ActionParsnip, thats simple for you [00:55] im a noob [00:55] !noob | gueriLLaPunK [00:55] gueriLLaPunK: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [00:55] gueriLLaPunK: the route command exists in every OS i can think of quickly [00:55] ah, fully updated on ubuntu notebook, yes. eee pc 900 [00:56] jakobbg: just eee pc 900 not anything like eee pc 900T or something weird [00:56] where do i find this "route" command [00:56] gueriLLaPunK: man route [00:56] ActionParsnip: yes, a plain 900. 4gb ssd, 512mb ram [00:57] PATH="user/local/sbin" [00:57] how can I append something to that [00:57] karmik koala was ok, this 10.10is unfirtunately much slower [00:57] jakobbg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [00:57] but no swap seems to be set up as standard [00:57] PATH=$PATH . "/usr/local/ruby/bin" ? [00:57] will look at that url, thnks. [00:57] (in bash language) [00:57] shcherbak, man route? [00:57] Enchilada: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ruby/bin [00:58] ActionParsnip: i don't want to export it at that time. just update the path variable [00:58] Enchilada: add in in ~/.bashrc and it will add itself each boot [00:58] morning.. [00:58] (I'm editing /etc/environment, so it affects all users) [00:58] ActionParsnip: so I just type PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ruby/bin ? [00:58] gueriLLaPunK: Thats manual command route [00:58] Enchilada: PATH stores all the paths to your binaries, so changing to be only one folder will cause issues [00:58] hi ppl [00:58] sigh [00:58] hye,, [00:58] im overwhelmed [00:59] you say things like man route [00:59] morning.. [00:59] and im suppose to know what it means [00:59] google yields results that do not make sens [00:59] thanks though. [00:59] gueriLLaPunK: nobody is born knowing, time for some research [00:59] ActionParsnip: nothing performance-related on that page. all hardware works nicely [00:59] jakobbg: hmm [00:59] jakobbg: latest BIOS? [00:59] u say man route and nothing else [00:59] what am i suppose to do with man route? [01:00] gueriLLaPunK: ok lets break it down, does the pptp connection give you your internetconnection or is it actingas a vpn/ [01:00] hi just tried to dual boot with xp(didnt work) and now i cant boot into ubuntu [01:00] gueriLLaPunK, just type: man route in the terminal and it'll give you the manual entries for "route" [01:00] do i just reinstall grub or is it something else [01:00] KINGOFSWORDS: boot to livecd and reinstall grub2 [01:00] ActionParsnip: can double-check, but i think so, yes [01:00] jakobbg: I'd go for a lighter DE like LXDE, it will free up more RAM for apps etc [01:00] think xubuntu is the way to go, skip the gnome-stuff [01:01] jakobbg: could go one better and install LUbuntu, all the default apps are super light [01:01] hello, does anyone know if unetbootin has an IRC channel? [01:01] lxde i know little about, much lightercompared to xfcee? [01:01] lubuntu. will check [01:01] ActionParsnip, i want it to act as a VPN. it connects and authenticates. [01:01] thx action [01:02] thx ActionParsnip [01:02] im looking at network connection details [01:02] and i see that it doesnt havea gateway [01:03] is it possible to use wubi to install a netinstall, and use that to format the drive and make a full ubuntu install? [01:03] hi folks.. is this the better place to ask about TwoFingersScroll with synaptics and ubuntu? [01:03] 11.04 does not appear on my update-manager, does anyone know what is the problem? [01:03] Scowboy: Beta? [01:03] Scowboy: 11.04 is not out yet [01:04] not even the alpha/beta? [01:04] Scowboy: ask in #ubuntu+1 until release day [01:04] Scowboy: yes ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:04] ok, thanks [01:05] gueriLLaPunK: does the pptp connection give you your internetconnection or is it actingas a vpn? [01:05] what do you mean by internetconnection? [01:06] u torrent for ubuntu [01:06] gueriLLaPunK: if you don't connect to the pptp do you not have a web connection? [01:06] i dont like the other bittorent clients [01:06] codex84: have you tried them? [01:06] I have a web connection outside of the VPN [01:06] im not dependant on the VPN for internet access [01:06] yeaa i tired them [01:06] gueriLLaPunK: ok then you have some servers you connect to over the vpn, right? === gsfai is now known as hittt [01:07] codex84: it does exist, just websearch [01:07] Yes, the server that I've setup the pptp is not local. I currently have SSH and VNC access to it [01:08] gueriLLaPunK: ok what is the name of the interface name, probably pptp0 ? [01:08] how can I check the name of the interface? [01:08] ifconfig -a [01:08] gueriLLaPunK: also make sure your home network address doesn't match the network address of the thing you are connecting to [01:09] hi,every one. who can tell me If a hard disk have uuid after fdisk but before filesystem [01:09] Yes, my local network is 192.168.x.x and the server is 10.5.x.x [01:09] i dont have a pptp0 interface [01:09] gueriLLaPunK: so if the thing you connect to is 10.0.0.2 and your home pc's current address is 10.0.0.x then it won't work [01:09] gueriLLaPunK: ok thats great :) good start [01:10] phew! [01:10] :D [01:10] gueriLLaPunK: what is the pptp interface name in the output of: ifconfig [01:10] i have eth0 and lo [01:11] gueriLLaPunK: strange, are you connected now? [01:11] the inet address is the actual IP address of the server. it isn't ona "local network" [01:11] to the pptp [01:11] yes I am connected to the pptp [01:11] oh wait [01:11] no, i wasnt [01:11] lemme reconnectr [01:11] gueriLLaPunK: thought not [01:11] yes. ppp0 is there [01:12] hey small but irritating issue everytime i ope gmail i lose my top bar so i have no close minimize or maximize [01:12] gueriLLaPunK: great that's the interface name, ok so we need to tell your OS that when you want to talk to 10.5.x.x (the server's IP) to use the ppp0 interface [01:13] hiexpo: press F11, does it help? [01:13] the server's ip is 188.165.233.80 [01:13] Welcome Alexander! [01:13] ActionParsnip, let me see one sec [01:13] If I do "ls -la" in /home, I find that my user's folder is "drwxr-xr-x" by default. Isn't this rather scary? Anyone can read my home directory!!! [01:13] gueriLLaPunK: not when you connect to the pptp though right? it's 10.5.x.x like you said/ [01:13] http://pastie.org/1809629 [01:13] here, take a look [01:13] its weird [01:14] because the server doesn't have a "local network" [01:14] gueriLLaPunK: ok can you ping the server's name [01:14] Enchilada: yes mine is drwx------- [01:14] Welcome ddragos! [01:14] Bye reff67! [01:14] yes i can ping my server [01:14] gueriLLaPunK: or ping the IP? [01:14] Bye zen! [01:14] Welcome goool! [01:14] i can ping the domain and the IP [01:14] gueriLLaPunK: ok is the server the 10.5.x.x ? [01:14] histo: why did ubuntu do that then? [01:14] Bye arand! [01:14] Welcome breadbox! [01:14] Enchilada: it's the default ubuntu behavior [01:14] Bye viz! [01:15] Welcome debsan! [01:15] Welcome cyberkilla! [01:15] Enchilada: probably something in /etc/skel/ [01:15] Welcome devino21! [01:15] the 10.5.x.x doesnt exist. there is no local network. i just entered than info in the pptpd config file [01:15] Alexander: turn that off now. [01:15] ActionParsnip, yes it maximizes it but i have no top bar when it open you know the top firefox bar that says the site your on max min and close ticks [01:15] if u read my pastie, u will see that the local ip and "external ip" is the same [01:16] eth0 [01:16] Enchilada: but if you want to change it you can. [01:16] ActionParsnip, and it does itin my thunderbird to but only in the gmail account it i switch it to my other email account > hot mail it is ok [01:16] Enchilada: chmod go -rx Enchilada [01:18] gueriLLaPunK: then you can try: sudo route add -host 10.5.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0 [01:18] ok one second [01:18] hiexpo: not sure then man, no other apps you say? [01:18] route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route [01:18] histo: yeh, thx mate [01:18] ActionParsnip, nope just gmail issue [01:19] gueriLLaPunK: try without the netmask bit [01:19] okie dokie [01:19] hi im confused with file permissions in linux. With windows you have a lot of granularity with what access you can give to certain groups. In linux, can you only have one level of access (rwx) for a single group per file/folder? [01:19] Enchilada: I would just o-rx not g-rx because in ubuntu your user is the group name. No biggy it will work either way. [01:19] gueriLLaPunK: sudo route add -host 10.5.1.2 dev ppp0 [01:19] ok done [01:19] gueriLLaPunK: ok now try connecting [01:19] should i restart pptpd? [01:20] gueriLLaPunK: no, just connect as you expect [01:20] ActionParsnip, and say i am in gmail and that bar is gone if i hit say my home page it comes right back [01:20] icnwodk: chown, chmod. Anyway you like it. [01:20] hiexpo: sounds like a WM bug, if you use effects, this will be compiz [01:20] still no network access [01:20] right but with chmod cant I just set permissions for one group?

[01:52] hello all anyone know of a ppa for latest *stable* nvidia drivers? [01:52] i see x swat for latest nvidia...but they are beta. Id like to be able to use latest nvidia drivers [01:53] dabbish: Did you disabled password login? can you paste message (if -vvv use web paste). [01:54] shcherbak, Well it's really an image at Amazon EC2. So it might have been like that by default. Message is simply: Permission denied (publickey). [01:55] hi [01:56] hey everybody...just installed 10-10 I can't find mplayergui??? [01:56] how come..... [01:57] I tried googling but all I get is info about how to setup SSH with keys [01:57] dabbish: You log in with password (first user)? Does new user have home directory? [01:57] i have a power pc g4 it runs at 1.2 ghz my question is how much more performance do yall think i will get by bumping my memory from 498 Mb to 1.25 GB [01:58] shcherbak, No, I never created a home directory for the user [01:58] dabbish: And old user using password login? [01:58] linux gets really slugish when i use firefox on this thing im getting a new computer at some point [01:58] shcherbak, No, first user uses key [01:58] GeekMan: blame flash [01:58] i will [01:58] shcherbak, No, I want the new user to be able to login without key [01:59] lol [01:59] lol [01:59] how do i get my microphone working on ubuntu 10.04; sound blaster live value card. [01:59] GeekMan: for real...flash is not helping.... [01:59] shcherbak, Actually, the new user has a home directory I see now [01:59] shcherbak: so do you know why it doesn't have a name with it, does that mean no driver has claimed it? [01:59] thats a bummer..no more mplayer gui :( [02:00] WHAT? [02:00] dabbish: Does it have .ssh directory, and what permissions? [02:00] lucas_: What device is it? [02:00] lucas_: Some are less supported. [02:01] shcherbak, Lemme check [02:01] so bouba how much of a gain do you think paying 34 dollars for a stick of memory will really do for me [02:01] bouba: Good, mplayer looks better without gui. [02:01] shcherback: a (fairly old) spectrometer [02:02] in #nzoss === root is now known as Guest72882 [02:02] how do i get the guile-config on ubuntu? [02:02] shcherback: on my previous installation I had a different problem, that there was a kernel module that thought that it owned it [02:02] shcherback: but I don't think its the case now [02:02] im trying to install webmin and im getting an error that port 10000 is already in use [02:02] how do i check that or change it? [02:02] shcherbak, No, home folder empty [02:03] drwxr-xr-x [02:03] !webmin [02:03] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [02:03] hey, I am in grub rescue mode in a computer with no optical drive [02:03] maybe i can bum some off of someone xD but in all seriousness just running gnome system monitor takes 49% of my cpu usage [02:04] can you guys help? I know the problem is that the disks have different ordering when booting and once ubuntu is booted (I think a and b disks are swapped) [02:04] just running gnome system monitor takes <<29>>% of my cpu usage ( i was close) [02:04] lucas_: Google to much to help, did you think to try in #hardware? [02:05] gnome system monitor is crappily designed and wastes a tonne of CPU on making pretty graphs. [02:05] I cant stand windows speed anymore..i'm on vbox telling instructions for a friend how to install ubuntu via vbox...its so slow!! [02:05] rww really i didnt know that? :/ [02:05] dabbish: You could copy .ssh (with content) from old account and chown it. [02:06] shcherback: oooo no, this is the first time on IRC for me [02:06] I'm trying to build something....and get this error: configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install [02:06] What's wrong? [02:06] i have firefox bin sleeping and its using 59MiB of memory [02:06] lucas_: Still searching, but it looks not good. [02:07] GeekMan: yup. I use htop on the command-line instead personally. [02:07] shcherback: yeah, I wouldn't spend too much time on it, I've been looking for a while myself [02:07] GeekMan: try midori [02:08] htop or m top [02:08] how do i get the guile-config on ubuntu? [02:08] how do i force unity-2d from command line? [02:08] shcherbak, Now it looks like this: drwx------ 2 eugene root 4096 2011-04-19 01:07 .ssh [02:08] cbilljones: #ubuntu is for released versions of Ubuntu only. Please continue asking in #ubuntu+1 instead. [02:09] shcherback: saying that, there must be some table on my computer somewhere that lists which driver is assigned to what usb device [02:09] midori ? webbrowser [02:09] I'm trying to just install security updates and am using: "aptitude safe-upgrade -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false --assume-yes --target-release `lsb_release -cs`-security" --- however, I also have a package pinned to a specific version, and this always updates that package (tried upping priority to 1601 and still gets replaced)... any ideas? [02:09] dabbish: Was wrong: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1454629/aws-ssh-access-permission-denied-publickey-issue [02:09] rww ok, just thought i would ask hehe [02:10] how do I use this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-out-which-service-listening-specific-port/ [02:10] lsof, i want to know whats on port 10000 [02:10] not everything [02:10] what parameters do I set? :( [02:10] gueriLLaPunK: you could just pipe it to grep 10000 [02:10] shcherbak, not sure what you mean by that. I can login just fine. But I want to create a user that doesn't have to use a key [02:10] how do i do that, IsmAvatar [02:10] append `| grep 10000` to the command (without quotes) [02:11] to what command? or just enter that in terminal? [02:11] to the lsof command [02:12] sudo lsof appent | grep 1000 [02:12] yeah [02:12] that didnt work [02:12] errr [02:12] miseplled === Guest72882 is now known as Corleone [02:12] gueriLLaPunK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:12] yeah, same thing [02:12] gueriLLaPunK: As FloodBot has told you repeatedly, please stop abusing your Enter key. [02:12] why there's no more gui for mplayer...its weird!! [02:13] how do i append that to lsof, IsmAvatar [02:13] how do i get the guile-config on ubuntu? [02:13] I think he meant lsof | grep 10000 [02:13] true story. i downloaded the nvidia driver that was recommended, and my 20"LCD which can support 1280x1024 suddenly went from 1024x768 (less than optimal) to 640x480 which is, honestly, unacceptable. is this a known issue? [02:14] ok taglass i tried that [02:14] and can i make it put out 1280x1024? [02:14] just waiting [02:14] dabbish: ok, more info: http://serverfault.com/questions/253464/enable-password-login-for-ssh-on-amazon-linux-ami [02:14] its not doing anything [02:15] my mom is travelling, staying at a hotel with a really strict firewall that seems to be blocking basic mail server ports. She can browse the web, and make ssh connections to our server back home. Can we use this ssh connection to tunnel outgoing traffic from the hotel, to our not-blocked-by-a-lame-firewall at home server, and then out from there? [02:15] I just want to know what program or whatever is using port 10000 [02:15] shcherbak, thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for [02:15] anyone know how i can do that? [02:16] lsof outputs a ton of information :( [02:16] gueriLLaPunK: the command takes a moment to finish, but once it does, it should show you the relevant line. [02:16] hi === Douche is now known as Guest13076 [02:16] okie dokie, IsmAvatar [02:16] in other words, how can I use SSH to tunnel around a firewall, through an ssh-accessible server I have access to? [02:16] gueriLLaPunK: if it finishes with no output, that indicates that nothing is using that port. [02:16] how to use rtorrent-0.8.5-ip_filter_no_boost-fast.patch ? [02:17] gueriLLaPunK: sudo netstat | grep 10000 [02:17] Try netstat -tlp Should tell you what programs are listening on what ports [02:17] i tried installin webmin and it told me that something was using port 10000, therefore, i couldnt install it. along with some other errors [02:17] shcherbak, YES! that worked. thanks a million [02:17] dabbish: Welcome ;) [02:17] the question is can i make gnash run on midori [02:18] ty shcherbak, will try that too [02:18] hi, does anyone know if there is a way to use grep to search a directory recursively but skip over any folders named .svn? [02:18] GeekMan: no idea but midori is light and fast [02:19] AFTER i have started editing with nano, but find out I didn't do sudo, is there any way to get sudo permission through a running nano? [02:20] i have two things under the settings in midori that say flashplayer (flashplayeralternative.so) [02:20] so i guess it found it then? [02:21] boxbeatsy, --exclude-dir=DIR Right there in the manpage [02:21] taglass: i tried doing grep -r --exclude_dir=".svn" "search" * but it's telling me im having a usage problem [02:21] still no output [02:21] nvm done [02:21] its doing "something" [02:21] "unrecognized option '--exclude_dir=.svin' [02:22] GeekMan: flash works in midori yep [02:22] Where can I get the file gnome-libs? [02:22] it's a '-' not a '_' [02:23] why on earth they took out mplayer gui...insane [02:24] to force us using gnome-mplayer [02:24] i wouldnt mind but there's no options for url!!

[02:56] r000t: Care to pastebin the output? Also note testdisk is meant for use on Disks which are not currently in use.

[02:57] i had usb stick plugged in , i think i had windows virus on there...is there any way it could affect linux [02:57] ponbiki : i am installing it right nwo [02:58] :D [02:58] Well I accidentally wiped the partition table of /dev/sdb... the problem is Linux mounted the boot drive there. So I wiped the boot drive's partition table. I ran fdisk -l before that so I have the original count of everything [02:58] this is redicuious [02:58] KINGOFSWORDS: No, or only by hammering bios/hardware [02:58] the options are arranged slightly different than in windows, but i prefer the way the video is handled in linux versions [02:59] so it can then? [02:59] r000t: If you just WIPED the partition, but did not re-parition, testdisk can RESTORE the table [02:59] ffs why am i having so many problems [02:59] I ran Testdisk and before a deep search, it only finds the system partition, but the end point is like 13xxxx where x is numbers, but in reality it's 18xxxx. A deep search has the correct end point but it lists two partitions, like the following pastebin [02:59] KINGOFSWORDS: You would be very unlucky to get cih. [03:00] well that way it seems to be [03:00] Guys I uninstalled Evolution Mail from Ubuntu 10.10, it came out of the "Applications >internet menu" ... but it still shows up in the "Applications > office menu" ... as Evolution Mail and Calender, and when i click on it nothing happens.

[03:02] abiss27: alacarte [03:02] abiss27: To edit your menu. [03:02] r000t: I think one of testdisk's mode of operations is to look for deleted partitions with the ability to mark it as active... [03:02] <__mikem> shcherbak okay, I read and reread both links. I can't get it to work for the same reasons I listed above [03:03] ponbiki : how do you use ekiga??

You have not provided any details to help you with. === noisufnoc_ is now known as noisufnoc [04:09] fuck off [04:10] whoa [04:10] !hammertime [04:10] <[TK]D-Fender> KINGOFSWORDS: I see no reference to what MODEL, how it's connected, what steps you ahve taken, any error messages receieved, what guides if any you have followed. [04:10] [TK]D-Fender: They're not currently in the channel. [04:10] how's it going [TK]D-Fender [04:11] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Yeah, I noticed after I sent it [04:11] transferring large files over wireless through a VPN is slow :/ [04:11] join #android [04:11] <[TK]D-Fender> rww: Some people you just can't help. kinda like going to your mechanic and screaming "HOW I CAN CAR!?!?!" 50 or 60 times with a more puzzled tone every time? [04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> syrinx_: OK I suppose.... have we actually chatted? Sorry that I can't recall your nick... [04:12] [TK]D-Fender: there's a key difference -- the mechanic can make a buck off screwing them with their own stupidity === anthony_2409 is now known as anthony_king [04:12] i might just try a powered usb hub and see if i can get everything working that way [04:12] I have port forwarding setup from ports 1-4000 going to 192.168.1.99 ( my linux box ) and it is marked enabled, but for some reason it stopped allowing me toconnect from an external connection. To my knowledge, nothing has changed on my routers nor on my linux box. Can anyone help me out? I'm not sure what the heck's going on. [04:12] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: Yeah instead we get "expletive deleted" [04:12] [TK]D-Fender: lol, I come and go alot [04:13] godzirra, did it ever work? [04:13] [TK]D-Fender: though I suppose I should've PMed him with "install this VNC thing, put in this password, send $200 to me via Paypal and let's get this thing fixed" [04:13] noisufnoc: Yes. I'm not sure what changed, or if its a router or an issue with the machine. [04:14] noisufnoc: Nor am I sure how to find out. :/ [04:14] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: I'm not sure that is a large enough retainer ;) [04:15] godzirra: i usually try and telnet to the port and see if the connection establishes [04:15] * [TK]D-Fender is looking forward to testing 11.04 in 2 weeks [04:15] [TK]D-Fender: I can always ask for more ;) besides, he'll be back. Those types always stumble into a virus/rootkit/water damage/whathaveyou [04:15] Port 22? okay. [04:15] [TK]D-Fender: I'm running 11.04 now [04:15] refused. [04:15] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: I'll leave alphas & betas to the irradiated :p === paijo_ is now known as gondez [04:16] are you on your linux box? [04:16] godzirra: doublecheck that your router's IP Tables didn't get flushed by e.g. a reboot [04:16] sigh. Every laptop should have a wireless activity light [04:16] or at least, make the wifi light blink [04:17] roothorick: Yeah, I did. Its port forwarding is set to potrs 1-4000 to go to 192.168.1.99, which I double checked was still my linux box's ip. [04:17] roothorick: I dunno.. My thinking on that alternates. Sometimes it irritates the hell out of me when its dark-ish around. [04:17] what email client does everybody use? Just wondering if Thunderbird (what I am currently using) is the best choice [04:17] The blinking wifi link I mean. [04:17] Kamakazi_: Gmail. [04:17] alright friends, i gotta jet. thanks for the help [04:17] godzirra: iptables -vnL | pastebin && iptables -t nat -vnlL | pastebin [04:17] oops [04:17] -vnL [04:17] one L [04:18] Kamakazi_: I just use Gmail in-browser, heh [04:19] godzirra: forwarding shouldn't have any affect on outgoing [04:19] I don't really need Ubuntu to tell me I have an email when there's a plastic and metal box in my pocket that plays the secret found jingle from Zelda every time I get an email [04:19] Khisanth: Its incoming, not outgoing. [04:19] Khisanth: I'm trying to ssh into my linux box. [04:20] roothorick: http://pastebin.com/98bDmcyz [04:20] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: Any last minute beta's expected prior to release (fixing whatever was found along the way)? [04:21] [TK]D-Fender: I think there's a Beta 3 planned yet [04:21] [TK]D-Fender: there's a roadmap somewhere, dig around a little [04:21] say, anyone trying out gnome3 on 11.04? If so, have you experienced gtk2 apps having the narrow scrollbars no matts having the narrow scrollbar no matter what the theme is set to? [04:21] Everybody just uses Gmail...hmmm, doesn't quite meet my needs, need to be able to connect and send through school email [04:22] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: Suspicion should be enough.. I'm just wondering how tight an eye I should keep peeled for final beta reviews [04:22] just certain apps, it seems. banshee is one. [04:23] <[TK]D-Fender> Kamakazi_: Evolution is pretty big [04:23] is sylpheed any better? [04:23] I always felt Evolution tried too hard to copy Outlook feature-for-feature [04:23] Syntec: according to some people :) [04:23] ah [04:23] Is there any ubuntu repo for GNOME3? I'm dying to use GNOME3 [04:24] roothorick: yeah...look at who the main copyright holder is on Evolution. [04:24] probably "yes" if you just need your email program to do email and not a bunch of other things [04:24] <[TK]D-Fender> roothorick: Yeah, that was always their model, but maybe it suits him. He'll have to see for himself [04:25] Is there any way to change the zoom on the desktop? (i.e. make the icons smaller) [04:25] Khisanth or roothorick: Anything else I can check? I'm at a loss. [04:25] godzirra: verified sshd is running and accepting connections? ssh localhost ? [04:25] does anyone know a good guide for modifying the order in which my services start? i am running a box without a keyboard or monitor and my apache (which is running SSL) starts before my ssh server, thus preventing me from logging in remotely without first entering the paraphrase for apache [04:26] Yup. I'm ssh'd locally into the box now. Its where I'm using irssi. I'm ssh'd into it from a windows box on the same network. [04:26] is 11 out yet... did they ditch that POS "Unity" window manager [04:26] hi all.. [04:27] hi [04:27] hi [04:27] godzirra: are any of the other ports being forwarded? [04:27] stimoceiver: no and no [04:27] is it possible for a bad sata cable to render a port unusable even with a good cable? [04:28] Is there any ubuntu repo for GNOME3? I'm dying to use GNOME3 [04:28] ya me too [04:28] they have a livecd don't they? [04:28] gaelfx: Depends on in what way it is "bad" [04:28] undecim: I think what you mean to say is "Yes, it is possible" [04:28] Khisanth: Hrm, I'm not sure. I haven't tried anything else. [04:28] gaelfx: If it shorts something, it's possible it can fry your controller [04:29] KINGOFSWORDS, [04:29] did u ever get ur problem solved?\ [04:29] I have apache running on port 81 and I can't telnet to it externally either. [04:29] napster: yes, it requires natty and causes complete breakage in the one time i tried using it [04:29] i just setup a new 10.10 server .. and upon login am getting - 'xterm-new': unknown terminal type. [04:29] gaelfx: If it's just a cable that doesn't get a good connection, it can't hurt it, though [04:29] tensorpudding: oh! [04:29] godzirra: so it seems like your router is misbehaving :) [04:29] undecim: so my next question is how can I test the cable? [04:30] gaelfx: Continuity tester would work === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [04:30] gaelfx/godzirra iptables running? [04:30] napster: complete breakage meaning that ubuntu and ubuntu classic session won't work at all, the only session available is gnome 3, which is buggy and incomplete [04:30] Can anyone help me with setting up Dual boot on two HDD's one with XP already installed and one that Ubuntu is gonna use? [04:30] napster: and there is no way to revert [04:30] gaelfx: Make sure each terminal connects to the same one on the opposite end and make sure that no two terminals complete the circuit [04:30] tensorpudding: debugexit will do I guess [04:30] hello [04:31] undecim: ok, thanks [04:31] Khisanth: Well damnit. I don't know what to do at this point. Its showing that its port forwarded from 1-4000 and its enabled. And DD-WRT channel is deader than dead. :/ [04:31] is there a replacement for the "netcat -e" in the busybox version of netcat? [04:31] Khisanth: Thanks anyways. :/ [04:31] any idea why in 11.04 Mod4+T brings up the Trash folder? i'm trying to remap it to terminal but it always show trash folder... [04:32] whois wildbidoof [04:32] godzirra: oh it's a DD-WRT? sshing into the router? [04:32] hello [04:32] world [04:32] ... [04:32] atpa8a: for natty ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:32] godzirra: I am guessing it uses iptables for the forwarding as well so worth checking the state of things there [04:33] MaRk-I: thanks! [04:33] * teslafeng jumps [04:34] Khisanth: I haven't tried sshing in. Let me take a look. === WildBidoof_ is now known as stuff [04:36] godzirra: probably iptables -t nat -L [04:36] Yeah, trying to figure out what login and password to login as. [04:36] when I ssh into my machine and enter a correct password, I get a response immediately saying I have the incorrect password. However, if I login with the correct password, it takes about 30 seconds to verify it === blahsphemer_ is now known as blahsphemer [04:37] the same happens when I try to use a sudo command and am prompted for a password once I'm connected === scoyle_ is now known as Roofle [04:37] (^_^) [04:37] And once I finally ssh in, it says "Failed to add entry for user myusername" [04:37] anyone have any suggestions? [04:37] Sup everyone :) [04:38] godzirra: probably -t filter too [04:38] I need to have a directory that any user can access and change any files. Best solution I have found is to run a cron job to chmod -R 777 every so often... Anyone have an idea for a more elegant solution? [04:38] is there a replacement for the "netcat -e" in the busybox version of netcat? [04:39] Ergh. I put my id_rsa.pub in the authorized keys and its still not letting me in. [04:39] So I'll let you know when I figure out how to ssh in... [04:39] I assumed the port forwarding tab would just add it to the iptables though. :/ [04:39] hello? [04:41] godzirra: but if it didn't then that would be your problem! [04:41] Is there any way to make a folder accessable only after inputting a password? [04:42] Flash used to leave video files in /tmp where does it put them now? [04:42] Khisanth: Yeah, just trying to get connected. [04:42] @russia Just chmod them to 000, it will then require root access to view them. [04:43] anyone know why my box is slow to accept a correct password? :-\ [04:43] cquick97, uh, how do I do it to the entire folder? [04:44] is there a way to install radeon 6850 drivers on ubuntu or is it not supported [04:44] My box does the same cquick [04:44] hold on russia. [04:45] cquick97, k [04:46] go into terminal and cd into the directory where the folder is located. [04:46] Is there any way to change the zoom on the desktop? (i.e. make the icons smaller) [04:46] Yeah? [04:46] Khisanth: Finally! http://pastebin.com/ZLxqsMdg [04:46] then type "chmod 000 'foldername'" [04:47] That's it? [04:47] it will require root to access the folder, but yes it should work === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban [04:47] I can get the root access if I need to, so it should be fine [04:48] thanks! [04:48] godzirra: that doesn't look right ... [04:48] No problem :) [04:48] Why does Ubuntu recommend 32bit desktops when I have a 64bit system and more ram than 32bit see's [04:48] Huh. The DNAT only says 4000. [04:48] MonkeyMan: Ignore it. It's only there so 32-bit users don't try to get it. [04:48] MonkeyMan: use what you want [04:49] Shouldn't it be like, 1-4000? Or something? [04:49] MonkeyMan: if you have 64-bit, feel free to get 64-bit. [04:49] is there a way to switch from 32 bit or is it a full reinstall? [04:49] MonkeyMan: reinstall [04:49] MonkeyMan: Full reinstall [04:50] k Will do. thanks === kandinski is now known as javier === javier is now known as kandinski [04:50] i cant seem to find the drivers for my radeon 6850 [04:51] anyone know how to install them [04:51] godzirra: something seems to have gone wrong :) === budi_ is now known as Guest43220 [04:52] Khisanth: Yeah. I just don't know how to fix it. :/ [04:52] iptables is black magic to me. =p [04:52] is rooting a htc evo phone safe under linux? [04:53] Khisanth: Does this look righT? http://pastebin.com/ywSWrVQ0 [04:53] Nevermind.. it does appparently. [04:53] I can reconnect now. ;) [04:53] For some reason, DD-WRT says the same thing for port forwarding as port range forwarding [04:53] heh [04:53] even down to having the same form. [04:53] But port forwarding only forwards one port, while range does what you tihnk it should. :p [04:53] Thanks again Khisanth. That's twice today you've helped solve my headaches. ;) [04:54] how can I fire up an application as another user. I get "no protocol specified" and "can't open display" when I try it from terminal [04:54] hmm linksys' way for setting that might be better, 1 form you enter either both ports or 1 [04:55] craigbass1976: gksudo -u other_user_name command [04:56] why is the ip address for the box 127.0.1.1 http://ronaldbradford.com/blog/installation-issues-with-mysql-5-5-4-and-resolveip-2010-04-26/ [04:56] mrsilentstare: Stop messaging me please. [04:56] how dows one install .tar.gz file in linux? [04:56] and live up to your nick! [04:56] mrsilentstare: if you have a question, just ask. [04:56] heh. [04:57] artistik: Generally, you don't install .tar.gz in Ubuntu [04:57] artistik: What are you trying to install? [04:57] One does not simple install .tar.gz files in ubuntu! [04:57] *Simply [04:57] That seemed a lot funnier in my head. [04:57] lol [04:57] reflash.tar.gz- a file to root my htc evo phone [04:57] artistik: unzip it first. tar -zxvf file.tar.gz [04:57] hi [04:57] what program should I use to rip a bluray iso to an mkv? [04:58] Khisanth, I get the same thing [04:58] artistik: Sounds like something you need to compile then. [04:58] artistik: There should be an INSTALL or README file that explains how to do [04:58] artistik: do it* [04:59] craigbass1976: including the "can't open display"? [04:59] Would someone be willing to give me a hand with a problem I am having with installing Ubuntu via flash drive? [04:59] undecim: well ill try it agian. have you heard of anyone trying to root there android phone? [04:59] craigbass1976: gksu -u username application [05:00] artistik: No one that I know is rooting it. [05:00] I've done it. Cyanogenmod website has a pretty easy tutorial. [05:00] was it hard and was it worth it? [05:01] hewhoeatsall: What problem are you having with the flash drive? [05:01] Khisanth, first I was prompted for a password. I thought it would be -u's pass, but typing that once gave me "sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts try again" even though I tried once. So I tried again with MY pass, and was given that same earlier message (including can't open display) [05:01] I get an error saying software index is broken. When I run sudo apt-get install -f I get E: The package openemr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it how to fix this?. [05:01] undecim, that's acting the same way [05:01] Hard? not so much. Worth it? Defintly. I've squeezed at least an extra half day's worth of battery life using just their provided kernal. [05:01] craigbass1976: Try running from a terminal "sudo gksu -u username application" [05:02] undecim, same. [05:02] undecim: Well, I made my USB drive a bootable device, and have tested it out on a desktop. Boots and installs fine. I tried it on my laptop, and it just locks up at a black screen with "SYSLINUX 4.03, ect. The copyright info, basicly. [05:03] hewhoeatsall: yeah the battery life is deffinetly something to be addressed [05:03] Not too metnion free games/apps, if your into that sort of thing. [05:03] mention* [05:03] craigbass1976: hmm.... Let me mess around with this... [05:03] of course. and what about wifi tethering? [05:04] craigbass1976: Seems to have problems doing it as a non-root user. === dfgas is now known as dfgas-away-cm6 [05:04] Always a plus to have a hotspot in your pocket. Decent connection speed too. [05:05] craigbass1976: I think maybe only you and root have access to your screen. [05:05] hewhoeatsall: ill check out that cyanogenmod site now. and try to figure out how to install the tar.gz file [05:05] craigbass1976: And frankly I have no idea what to do about it [05:06] Goodluck. [05:06] thank you . and thanks for the luck [05:08] thanks room and long live linux / opensource [05:08] craigbass1976: One workaround that I can think of... [05:08] craigbass1976: Is to use SSH with X forwarding [05:09] craigbass1976: You would of course have some overhead with the encryption that SSH uses though [05:09] undecim, like ssh localhost? [05:09] craigbass1976: yeah [05:09] craigbass1976: with the -X option [05:09] craigbass1976: You would have to install sshd if you haven't already [05:09] craigbass1976: you would need to give another user access to the display with xhost http://raftaman.net/?p=896 [05:10] trism_: craigbass1976: ahah! that should solve the problem. [05:10] trism_: craigbass1976: I knew it was with permissions, but had no idea how to change them. [05:10] when you guys get a chance i have a question [05:10] iceman34: ask away [05:10] Anyone have any suggestions for why an ubuntu box would take 1 min+ to accept a correct password from the command line? [05:11] ssh -x would be fine. I remember being able to do this on fedora nd cent with no issues, but that was years ago and perhaps something in general changed with how x is implemented [05:11] is there a mirc widget i could put on my web site [05:11] Roofle: Is the hard disk spinning a lot? [05:11] no more than normal as far as I can tell [05:11] Roofle: What about CPU? [05:12] it will reject an incorrect password almost immediately [05:12] but if it's a correct one, it will take a solid minute [05:12] cpu is normal too, less than 5% [05:12] Roofle: hmm... It's probably the login, then, rather than accepting the password [05:12] once it finally logs in, it says "Failed to add entry for user myusername" [05:13] which is an error message I haven't been able to find much out on yet [05:13] all of the stuff I'm finding on it has to do with SAMBA, and I'm not using that, nor do I have it configured [05:13] Roofle: strange.... That's a message from samba. [05:14] Roofle: Probably something to do with the Samba PAM module. [05:15] Roofle: Try this first though... If you type "bash", does it take as long as logging in? [05:15] Is there a way to clone a complete device to a different one? (I don't want an image EG. DD I want a actual clone written to another devices MBR and partition table.) [05:15] how do I change the maximum retries that hylafax does before giving up on sending a fax? [05:15] undecim: Well, once you re-enforced that it was samba, I removed samba (it apparently was somehow installed after all) and it looks like that's fixed it [05:16] Roofle: Nice [05:16] that's what I get for not covering my bases [05:16] Roofle: You need samba though? [05:16] not particularly [05:16] I'm running a file server on this box, but I don't have any windows boxes [05:16] nor am I sure the time will ever come [05:18] Roofle: Well, I guess that's good enough XD [05:18] Good evening room, my ubuntu 10.10 machine was working fine when I left work on Sat. This morning upon booting, it seems to boot to the point of starting the GUI but leaves me at the TTY1 Username: prompt [05:18] I can't seem to get past that [05:19] Lindy: Log into the TTY and let's get to figuring it out [05:19] is natty still in beta? [05:19] my username doesn't allow me to log in [05:19] Lindy: why not? [05:19] Lindy: or try pressing ctrl + alt+ f6 or f7 [05:19] hey theres a big with cifs-utils [05:19] it doesn't accept my username and password [05:20] !natty [05:20] 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. [05:20] ive already notified the samba team [05:20] mickster04: thanks! [05:20] You're using all lowercase username? [05:20] Lindy: You're using all lowercase username? [05:20] yes [05:20] so im trying to upgrade cifs-utils to something more recent than what comes with 10.10 [05:21] Lindy: Sure you're using the correct username? [05:21] I'm the only user on the machine, the user name is pete [05:21] not much to go wrong there [05:22] Lindy: Well, without a login, there's not much we can do. Reboot into recovery mode and go to a root console. [05:23] the first time the m,achine booted this morning , I got alot of info that seemed to imply a disk error of some sort [05:23] helo [05:23] Lindy: A disk error can cause a lot of random issues [05:23] when I go to recovery mode the whole screen goes red with grey text and drashes [05:23] Lindy: It wouldn't surprise me if that were the problem [05:24] yuskhanzab: Hello [05:24] so, its back up my home directory and reinstall? [05:24] Lindy: Yeah... hardware issue here. [05:24] Lindy: Try the reinstall [05:24] need some help here [05:24] guys i need hel ASAP! [05:24] Lindy: Keep your files backed up, and if it does this again, you may need some new hardware... either new HDD or mobo. [05:25] !ask [05:25] 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. :-) [05:25] is there any way to take some of my windows partition? [05:25] OK I'll try to back up the contents from this Knoppix Live disk and re-install [05:25] thanks for the help [05:25] 10.10 new wubi install says wireless is disabled. where do i enable it? [05:25] yuskhanzab: You mean resize the partition for more space in Ubuntu? [05:25] yeah undecim [05:25] yuskhanzab: You need to boot a live CD and use GParted [05:26] whats the difference between "smbfs" package and "cifs-utils" ? [05:26] I'm downloading the wubi installer but at the end of the download it stops saying that some files are missing on C:, tried twice, is there any suggeestion. Im usin windos 7 [05:26] yuskhanzab: If GParted doesn't let you shrink the windows partition, you need to resize it in windows first [05:26] where can i get the tutorial? [05:27] is there any way to access the C:// drive on a dual boot while in Ubuntu? [05:27] I can't seem to find it [05:27] Chubcorp: mount -t ntfs ? [05:28] yuskhanzab: There's not much to it really. Lots of info can be found with Google. Just boot the Live CD and go to System -> Administration -> GParted to resize the partitions [05:28] Chubcorp: It usually shows up as "___GB Filesystem" [05:28] Chubcorp: i think you would also need the partition's device id: /dev/sdXX [05:28] Chubcorp: It won't be called "C:". That's a Windows convention. [05:28] Chubcorp: linux doesn't identify the drive as C: [05:29] milamber, what would it be calles [05:29] 10.10 new wubi install says wireless is disabled. where do i enable it? [05:29] called [05:29] Chubcorp: at the command line type: df [05:29] joelramos: you could burn a live cd or try booting from a live iso [05:29] what do u mean "live cd"? sory im realy newbie [05:29] undecim, what do u mean "live cd"? sory im realy newbie [05:30] yuskhanzab: The Ubuntu CD [05:30] milamber, I don't know what I'm looking at sry [05:30] Chubcorp: under Filesystem it should say something along the lined of /dev/sda1 [05:30] lines* [05:30] yuskhanzab: At the purple screen when it boots (when you see some white icons at the bottom), you can press the down key and choose "Try Ubuntu without Installing" [05:30] owh u mean boot using the live cd? [05:30] yuskhanzab: yes [05:30] milamber, yeah, dev/sda5 and sda2 [05:31] ok isee. now i understand [05:31] Chubcorp: do you have two hard drives? [05:31] thx undecim :) [05:31] just one [05:31] yuskhanzab: np [05:31] no need to backup data or ??? [05:31] milamber, just one [05:31] thx dude, i'll try to install with wubi one more time, if it fails i'll have to burn it. THANK YOU [05:31] Hi all [05:31] Chubcorp: ok, what is the goal? are you trying to find a file? [05:31] I've a problem with my num pad [05:31] just boot the cd and then do the partition? [05:32] it works for the login [05:32] milamber, I'm trying to place a file into it. so I can run fixmbr [05:32] but after the log in I can't use the num pad [05:32] hey CannonFodda i found this searching on google, it may help: http://www.ubuntuland.com/how-do-i-enable-wireless-card-with-wubi-ubuntu-none-of-the-hardware-shows-up/ [05:32] even by pressing the num lock key [05:33] any ideas ? [05:33] Chubcorp: fixmbr is a windows thing isn't it? [05:34] I need to have a directory that any user can access and change any files. Best solution I have found is to run a cron job to chmod -R 777 every so often... Anyone have an idea for a more elegant solution? [05:34] milamber, yes, but i'm placing the exe files into it. [05:34] Chubcorp: You know there are Linux commands that do the same thing as fixmbr? [05:35] milamber, I need to remove linux and keep windows, I know crazy. [05:35] seidis: thanks:) [05:35] jonathan: did you select the right keyboard when you installed? [05:35] seidos [05:36] Chubcorp: it happens :) i'm reasonably sure fixmbr can only be run from a windows recovery disk. so i'm not sure why you are asking how linux would mount the hard drive. windows does it differently. [05:37] milamber, I just need to place the files into it from linux then running it in windows [05:37] CannonFodda: honestly, that site doesn't really have anything useful on it. you should just ignore it. apologies. [05:37] Chubcorp: ok, what directory are you looking for? [05:37] seidos, yes I think [05:37] it worked before [05:37] Chubcorp: Your C: drive should be in your places menu... It just won't be called "C:" [05:37] jonathan: did you change your keyboard set up since then? [05:38] hey... anywhere with more recent docs about tracker search tool? these seem old: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaTracker [05:38] ♦just reading & gotta agree;) [05:38] I cant see trackerd on my system [05:38] milamber, place a file into the root drive C [05:38] undecim, have an idea what it would be called? [05:38] CannonFodda: well, if it's anything like an ubuntu install, then it would help to know what youre wireless chipset is [05:38] seidos, I configured the dual monitor with the nvdia config wizard, it may change my xorg.conf ... [05:38] Chubcorp: ___GB Filesystem [05:38] is there a "device mager" type thing to see if my wireless card is disabled? [05:38] manager [05:39] jonathan: restore xorg.conf from backup? [05:39] Chubcorp: on linux the 'base' directory is: / [05:39] !wireless | CannonFodda [05:39] CannonFodda: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:40] seidos, may be but I will lost all my config to enable the dual monitor. I can test it but later, just to finish some things [05:40] CannonFodda: you may want to go to #ubuntu-beginners, i could help you there [05:40] ok ta [05:40] hey ppl [05:41] wats the spanish chat server?

[06:00] etherneteth0: I would like to warn you to turn them off. Is there a reason to turn them off? [06:00] I only want to be able to login on tty5, so how do I turn off tty 1-4 and 6? [06:01] jonathan: mtsbwy [06:01] bullgard4 Yes, I'm turning them off so my stupid customer can't login to the machine and do silly things - and I'm the only one who knows what tty to login to [06:01] what is the escape character in irssi?

I'm an Ubuntu newbie, and I'm a bit stuck - I'm trying to install celtx, which is available in a tar.bz2, and I heard that packaging tar.bz2s into .debs was a good idea for keeping track of software. I -think- it's already been compiled, because there's no Makefile. However, when I try to use checkinstall, it gives me this message: “make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop." So... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now [06:08] <^NiNjA> shin_getter, do you have your bios set to put your LAN on standby or lowpower mode on suspend? [06:08] does anyone here know in which version of ubuntu ext4 support was added?

[06:10] i dl a pc game is in iso [06:10] can i use wine to open it [06:10] ? [06:11] delu: you probably have to run the configure script to get a makefile [06:11] <^NiNjA> codex84, you will have to mount the iso then install it through wine [06:11] <^NiNjA> but that would depend on if wine supports the game or not for that you will have to check the wine site [06:12] oh alright thanks alot [06:12] <^NiNjA> No problem [06:12] what program to mount it on ubuntu [06:12] ?

You can always reinstall the package again later. [06:36] hiexpo, its a free medical record software. http://www.oemr.org/ [06:37] skumara, how did you install it ? [06:37] skumara: pastebin the output of dpkg -l | grep openemr [06:37] cuda: was the machine connected to the internet when you activated the driver?

Re-download the package and then use dpkg to reinstall it. That alone *should* fix your issue. If it doesn't, then you can proceed to use dpkg to remove it as before.

[07:04] :/ [07:04] how do i know my mac address [07:04] spookyhat: just out of curiosity, which one? [07:05] html_inprogress: run 'ifconfig' in a console and look for HWaddr, i believe [07:06] DaPenguin, X-chat, as compiled by getdeb, as opposed to the Canonical supported one [07:06] if my path is being shown when i echo $PATH [07:06] but the files themselves dont show up [07:07] what could be the problem ? [07:07] How can I tell if im running 64bit or 32 bit? [07:08] MonkeyMan: there was a command to tell you which kernal you had, but i don't know it [07:08] try google [07:08] MonkeyMan: uname -a [07:08] thx leonexis [07:08] anyone ? [07:08] if i686, 32bit; if amd64 (i think) should be 64bit [07:08] good night [07:09] leonexis: x86_64 for me [07:09] im 64bit [07:09] yeah 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:09] ah! thats it =) on a netbook atm [07:09] MonkeyMan: yup, 64bit for you [07:09] nice :) [07:09] :D [07:10] odd though it shows 3.8gb ram instead of my 4gb [07:10] it's a bit less if you have internal video [07:10] awwww don't have 4+ gigs of ram on the netbook leonexis ? :P [07:10] :P just 2GB.. [07:11] nah i got a nvidia card [07:11] MonkeyMan: even so, on some PCI-X cards, it will use system memory for cache [07:11] or is it pci-e.. could never rmemeber [07:11] anybody able to help create a bridge? 10.10 [07:11] yeah its what I fugure [07:12] my motherboard was still appropriating 8 mb for video, and I have an nvidia discreet card, had to change a jumper setting [07:12] spookyhat: intel graphics here, so... lucky you :P [07:12] I used to use ubuntu when it first came out but had issues back in the day [07:12] same here MonkeyMan [07:12] i started in 2006 [07:13] ah, but it was soo great as a server system.. you knew when updates would be out =) [07:13] started 5.10 maybe? cant remember... [07:13] decided to give it a chance again. Considering im studying for my linux certs [07:13] well, MonkeyMan, two of my three moms use linux now :P [07:13] ubuntu to boot! [07:13] just started the other day, didnt get to the uname part of my study guide [07:14] yeah, my mum uses linux [07:14] MonkeyMan: well, good luck in your quest.. and remember, if you break it, you can always reinstall if you have backups =) [07:14] wow its 3:14am allready here. man I got to sleep soon. [07:15] yeah my mum plays solitaire and reads emails from old people who actually open attachments, so I got her set up with ubuntu recently lol, fewer "my computer is slow" housecalls this way [07:15] yeah i know leonexis :) i got a nicely labeled 10.10 install disk that I burned and lightscribed [07:15] spookyhat: yeah i know what you mean [07:16] MonkeyMan: try the virtual manager thingie.. i use it for work with windows and linux for testing apps [07:16] and if i accidently erase the HD, oh well.. make a new VM [07:17] ahhh yeah meh! [07:17] if I screw up this system I keep my data on seperate partition so im all good [07:17] just remember, backups your buddy.. and always keep copies on at least two spindles [07:18] i did that when i started MonkeyMan [07:18] how do i know my host name? [07:18] hostname, i think [07:19] yup [07:19] leonexis is right, if it's not something crazy resource intensive a virtual machine is the answer, in part because even if your house burns down, if you have it the VM drive on a USB key, you can run it without a hit on new hardware [07:19] true, and i manage 30 or so VMs for my day job :P really nice to just move VMs around when hardware fails [07:20] html_inprogress: IRC shows your hostname or IP address publicly by default [07:20] * rob_p runs Ubuntu in a VM on his Macbook Pro. :) [07:20] hehehe yeah I do have many VM's allready. used them on windows :) [07:20] * darkvader02 runs ubuntu on a core i7 machine :D [07:20] rob_p: I used to use a macbook, but then i got an intel netbook.. switched back =) [07:21] * MonkeyMan doesn't run ubuntu cause ubuntu runs him :) [07:21] " bg[ACTIVE] = "#151515" [07:21] " in gtkrc , how do i put in an image? [07:21] just an image.png? [07:21] MonkeyMan: hehe thats the truth [07:21] lol MonkeyMan [07:22] hey how many of you can say they actually have a tattoo of tux on your shoulder :) [07:22] linux is the best ,, (if we have the drivers , if not we make them )and we are changing the world .... [07:22] indeed html_inprogress [07:22] leonexis: Yeah, Mac for most stuff, Linux desktop for some stuff, and Linux server for, wel... server stuff! :) [07:22] MonkeyMan, ok.. haven't gone /that/ far, but html_inprogress is right.. [07:23] leonexis, i have had this tattoo for over 6 years [07:23] * leonexis bows to MonkeyMan. === epzil0n is now known as epzil0n_ [07:24] I only started around oh.. 9 years ago.. i had a tux on my beater car, does that count? :P === epzil0n_ is now known as epzil0n [07:24] * darkvader02 couldn't have a tat, scared of needles [07:24] I used to use slackware back in the day, been too long away from linux that I missed it. I remember having to compile the kernel to have a usable system [07:25] :D yeha those where the days [07:25] I used to love compiling my own kernel.. *sigh* sadly, though, i no longer have the time.. [07:25] Thats why I ask questions. I dont remember how to do most of the stuff I used to...Brainwashed by winblows [07:25] darkvader02: yup, those were [07:25] * rob_p remembers starting out with Red Hat 5. [07:25] leonexis, howabout a 1week compile. lol [07:25] MonkeyMan: thats good to ask [07:26] Those days were frustrating and fun! :) [07:26] MonkeyMan: gosh, man.. you make me feel old :P [07:26] !winblows | MonkeyMan [07:26] MonkeyMan: Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable. [07:26] darkvadadaer02, as you would say "vader" thats bad ,really bad i love it!.... lol [07:27] lol [07:28] anyways im off to bed. Ill see you guys around [07:28] MonkeyMan: alright, g'night! im headed there my self [07:29] I have been having problems with random freezing and when I start my system I get a msg that says the system was shut put into hibernation due to over heating. While digging around in dmesg I noticed while I have 8 cpus. 0 through 7 there are only 7 lines registering cooling_devices. These are followed by a line ...ACPI Error: Region PCI Config(2) has no handler...Any idea if this is the cause of my problem? [07:29] .Brainwashed by winblows ,,,, if it wasnt for the weak goble econamy them i would say burn baby burn [07:29] wwwd: run sensors in the console and see what happens [07:30] wwwd [07:30] bugger [07:30] hello, i am setting up a server from the commandline (there will be no GUI) over ssh and I have some questions about adding a user. I ran adduser myusername and set a password with passwd then logged in as that user, but it complained of no home directory. so i logged back in as root and created a home directory /home/myuser and [07:30] wwwd: you may need to configure it [07:30] darkvader02: Did not see any problesm [07:30] I am trying to insallt Ubuntu on my USB drive ... what type of file system should I use and why? ext4 or ext3? Thank you [07:30] are the temp resonable? [07:31] woops, got cut off there [07:31] wwwd, have you run into any heat related problems in the past, random shutdowns or the like? [07:31] hello, i am setting up a server from the commandline (there will be no GUI) over ssh and I have some questions about adding a user. I ran adduser myusername and set a password with passwd then logged in as that user, but it complained of no home directory. so i logged back in as root and created a home directory /home/myuser and set myuser as the owner with chown. now when I log in i am presented with just a $, preceded by no text at all, [07:31] Seems odd that there are not cooling_devices for all processors though [07:31] what processor have you got? [07:32] whats cups , like wwd is sayin? [07:32] give me a sec [07:33] Looks like Nehalem/Corei7 [07:33] ahh, there's only four cores [07:34] and four cooling devices [07:34] sort of, i7 could have 4 machine cores and a further 4 logical cores from hyperthreading [07:34] yup [07:34] Chipper351: i think you may want vfat [07:34] Anyone know where I can get a fake bluescreen screensaver [07:35] Chipper351: at least that's what i've always used. [07:35] vfat? [07:35] wwd, what about compiz , very nice but a little buggy for me , and i know i can have t running for long ,demo only for me (overheats crashes, and a lot of messy problem),, butter if i had more hstronger hardware [07:35] right 4 dual cores. But I still dont understand why there are 7 cooing devices. I could understand 4 or 1 but not 7 [07:35] fat32 [07:35] Evildaemon: i thought it came with one, i know there was one in xscreensaver [07:35] cmdbbq: Sounds like you used useradd, not adduser. The adduser command will do a lot of things to prepare the new account, including creating the user's home dir, populating it with things from /etc/skel, giving default profile, path, etc. [07:35] what did sensors give you in terms of CPU temp? [07:35] install linux on fat32? [07:35] wwwd: well sometimes the processor in some modes doubles up the cores [07:36] really? [07:36] ohsix, not in 10.10 [07:36] especially in 32 bit [07:36] cmdbbq: If you used useradd, then much of that will have to be done manually. [07:36] Chipper351: how are you instaling linux on your usb stick? [07:36] with the install disk [07:37] Mid 60's C then I blew out mid to high 50's C [07:37] Chipper351: ah, then use whatever you want. great idea, i should try this :) [07:37] at idle ?! [07:38] right but is ext4 better then ext3? the only things i have found is that it is faster [07:38] odd, that's well within the green for most chips [07:38] is that at idle wwwd? [07:38] ah, nevermind, i don't have an install disc, just a usb stick [07:38] Chipper351, try install ubuntu on usb with something called "unetbootin" .. Google unetbootin . unetbootin can b install on windows or linux and it is made for installing systems on USB [07:38] whats the dealft gui (ubuntu) [07:38] I already did thats not what I want .. thank you for the advice [07:38] html_inprogress: assuming you mean 'default', GNOME [07:39] I am just trying to find the difference between the file systems [07:39] Also the system never goes into hybernation. It just say it did when I start it regardless if it has frozen or not. [07:39] Chipper351: you mean in terms of reliability? i'm sure ext4 and ext3 are equal, just use ext4 [07:39] Chipper351, ext3, etx4 almost same, except journaling specifics === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:39] thank you [07:39] appreciate the hlep [07:39] <3 [07:39] yes 1010. or 10.04 i dont care i just dont like the gui i am now cause i can work [07:39] Evildaemon: good news, install xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod; it'll show up in gnome-screensaver [07:39] Chipper351: may the source be with you [07:40] *cant work [07:40] thanks [07:40] with the ipod touch howto, there's a line that errors.

[07:57] wwwd: what type of i7 are you using? [07:57] Ben64: i wasn't able to find my ubuntu /boot partition (grub and whatnot), should i just follow procedures to re-install grub on a new ext partition to restore it? [07:57] Interesting. So probably the problem. Any idea what I can do about it. [07:57] hello all, i'm trying to start compiling the pam-face-authentication package found at "http://pam-face-authentication.org/" and i'm hitting a myraid of problems. primarily, i have libvc2.1 installed, but cmake seems too be ignoring it in favor of a package called opencv2.1.. but they are, indeed, the same peice of code (and YES I have the libcv-dev package installed, too) anyone knowledgable in this? [07:58] plum: you'd have to reinstall the /boot stuff too [07:58] hi! I have a 128gb SSD disk. two partitions with about 60gb each. it's running win7 right now. one of the partitions has a lot of room left so i want to split this partition in two and install ubuntu on one of them. can this be done easily? its my work computer so the boss wont be happy if I run into problems and have to reinstall everything [07:58] wwwd: hmm, well you can install a better cooler [07:58] wwwd: or make sure it is seated properly/ attached tightly? [07:58] Ben64: how would i go about doing that? [07:58] Well it is in an HP dv7-3085dx I'll have to see if I can find the exact type. [07:58] not sure, never heard of that happening [07:59] I want to install ubuntu noww [07:59] Guest10516: then install it [08:00] just do it [08:00] how do i upload the screen shoot?? [08:00] yes [08:00] anuraag: www.abload.de/ [08:00] gartral: There is apparently ppa for it. [08:00] So you still don't think it is odd that there number of cooling devices don't seem to correlate?

It is telling me it has no sensors because it is a laptop [08:06] hiiiiiiiiiii [08:07] openSuse had sensor. I will google later and try and figure it out. [08:07] Would seem there must be some [08:08] wwwd: it is strange that it hibernates (or so it says so) [08:09] There are definitely ACPI errors. Does this suggest a software problem or can it be a hardware issue generating an error in code? And yes it is! [08:10] wwwd: ACPI errors can be caused by odd bioses, perhaps flash the bios (though i wouldn't really reccomend it) [08:10] Now that I think about it I have read online that others are having similar issues in windows. On this and other HP's and no real solutions. [08:10] wwwd: yeah, that's what i've been reading [08:10] I tried that. Why would you not recomend it? [08:11] wwwd?

[08:27] rhizmoe some older programs will behave strangely with pulse audio, certain OpenAL programs (notably Id tech 4 based games) need a start script tweak to play well with pulse [08:28] karel_ff: ok, the problem is (general) if you dont set the build-depends correctly (e.g. you need unzip) your package will only build successfull if on the system unzip is installed. because of that, packages are build in a chroot with no packages installed by default. the build-process is installing all packages from your kbuild-depends line and tries to build the package, if you have something forgot in your build-depends which y [08:28] karel_ff: i hope this explenation was not to bad :) [08:28] iceroot: still chewing on it :) [08:29] hey guys [08:29] i need help setting up a dns [08:29] iceroot: removing 'maverick' from the changelog entry gives this error: parsechangelog/debian: error: fatal error occured while parsing input [08:29] so that i can use my hostname [08:29] iceroot: trying with Build-Depends: pbuilder now [08:29] as a domain name in my local dev environment [08:30] karel_ff: always use debchange for working in debian/changelog [08:30] Jordan_U & spookyhat: is there anything that doesn't work with plain alsa?

[08:34] certain sounds in ubuntu like the starting chime and what not are now tied to pulse, you could live without it but why, you can usually just tell a program to use alsa, like in the case of openAL you can change the order of the preferred sound system [08:34] iceroot, im a programmer [08:34] you are talking gibrish haha [08:34] i know those are interfaces [08:34] MethedMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall -- You should use that.

You have to be more specific - the only answer to a question as vague as yours is 'buy faster hardware' [09:44] zepherin: not to mention that the internet is full of articles giving performane tips. Just google 'ubuntu performance' or 'faster ubuntu' [09:44] sorry, running applications, web browser and such is way slower than xp [09:44] !google | karel_ff [09:44] karel_ff: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet.

[09:46] well this one's interesting. I try to install 10.10 64-bit on a different partition, but any attempts to get the installer to come up. Well... it loads for a while then eventually does nothing and splashes whatever was last in the video memory onto the screen [09:46] karel_ff: lol well [09:46] karel_ff: if you're going to recommend chromium, then your required to tell them that google logs everything and thenm publishes the statistics [09:46] which is usually art assests from a game i was playing on previous boot [09:46] I just fou8nf FF to be useless in the ubuntu rep.. so try running a tarball from FF itself [09:47] hi [09:47] hi [09:47] bin_bash: well, as Eric Schmidt says ... ;-) [09:47] example: run your ubuntu FF in say V8 benchmark, and then chrome,then FF from tarball before saying ff sucks, although it had me also perplexed and moved to chrome as I was an ubuntu user for 1.5 yr [09:47] mali: might want to try iceweasel [09:47] well bin_bash: nah I compiled FF myself and now it runs same speed as chrome [09:47] If i tap the power button it'll make a graceful shutdown, so it looks like the Installer is alive and well, just the display is screwed up [09:48] chrome is crap. never use it. [09:48] whereas ubuntus rep FF runs at less than 8 % of that [09:48] well, then don't [09:48] not my prob [09:48] but one certainly can't use FF in ubuntu [09:48] I use it [09:48] without a problem [09:48] zepherin: browser discussions aside, you may want to check if your graphics card is being used optimally, but it's a rather advanced subject [09:48] well I couldn'y [09:48] i cant, i can only use iceweasle [09:48] el [09:48] bunot for web development [09:48] how about trying it in V8? === fsarker_ is now known as faruq [09:49] bin_bash: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v6/run.html seeing is believing kiddo [09:49] If you just want speed get midori [09:49] no, I need to develop [09:49] FF holds th standards [09:49] you're a bit feature starved but it's fast and resource light as anything [09:50] and it's in the reps === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [09:50] but getting 5600 on FF4 and 6300 (on my comp) with chrome.. and 380 with FF-ubuntu says a hella lot [09:50] more than words and ignorance xx [09:50] hrmmm. I could go muck about with my gfx setting, but alas I'd rather not have to go into heavy configuration settings without know what I'm doing [09:51] go on, give it a try and you prolly will get shocked [09:51] ^^ [09:51] but anyways, can we talk about things other than a browser debate no one's going to come to a consensus on?

[09:55] rob_p: ok, will try that out, I used the crontab -e one because the mails I was getting were about the scripts in the user crontab [09:55] thevishy: FF4 in Natty works very well with me.

[10:02] jatt: I don't recommend doing it, but you can do as sudo 'rm /var/mail/user/* [10:02] without the quote [10:03] Draco_: system>administrtion [10:03] should be there [10:03] bin_bash, that one tells me there are no addition drivers to install [10:04] Draco_: then there aren't any in the repos [10:04] bin_bash, could it be because I did not select "install third party software" at os installation? [10:05] maybe they need to be enabled somewhere [10:05] Draco_: hmmm i'm not sure... possibly [10:05] is it possible to rip totem's groovy visualisations? That GOOM thing would be great for a video clip. [10:05] Draco_: which specific drivers are you looking for? [10:05] videocard ( ati ) and printer ( hp ) [10:06] they were there with ubuntu 9 [10:06] open a terminal and type lspci [10:06] somewehere in there it'll say which ati device [10:07] it does, kinda [10:07] kinda?

It just takes few MBs (if you have a lot of them) [10:19] hi all [10:19] BlouBlou: Directing the mailer to send to nobody would seem to make more sense! :) [10:19] because there are so many mails there is difficult to identify the important ones.

I stopped postfix and then the mails stopped to arrive I think cron was not the culprit but postfix [10:24] I guess he was sending mails from the mail queue again and again [10:25] jatt: It depends on where you tell it to.

If you want to purge postfix's mail queue, use the postsuper command (sudo postsuper -d ALL) [10:31] jatt: the cron mails do not explain what is going on ? [10:31] why is necessary to add a ".local" to the dns name? [10:31] i plan to start from Software RAID1 and then (if needed) by a RAID card to convert RAID1 to a hardware one. Is it realistic? [10:32] erUSUL: yes they have the name of scripts of mine in the subject but I have deleted the entries for those scripts in the crontab [10:32] how do I get more than 800x600 resolution inside vbox in ubuntu 10.10? [10:32] that's why I thought they might come from the postfix queue === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [10:33] shomon: tried installing the guest additions? [10:33] jatt: What I gather is happening, is you have a whole bunch of deferred mail in the queue. Perhaps those messages are old and postfix is still attempting to deliver them! Again, the postsuper command will allow you to purge the queue. Just make sure you aren't interested in any of the messages! [10:34] ThinkT510, yes, but it made my screen look a tad inflated [10:34] it went down to 640x480 [10:34] rob_p: you are right, I am running postuser now as you advised and it's consuming some CPU so seems to be doing something [10:34] it does cut and paste and doesn't catch the mouse now though... :) [10:34] jatt: I'm guessing there's a pretty big queue... [10:34] Is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 supported by ubuntu [10:35] shomon: there should be a screen resolution setting somewhere in ubuntu (sorry not sure where, i use xubuntu) [10:35] rob_p: yeah df -f is going down... [10:35] rob_p: seems there were some GB in there [10:35] but, where is this queue in the filesystem? [10:35] no, I only want to change the resolution of the vbox window. [10:35] ubuntu is fine [10:35] but thanks, I'm reading the guest graphics driver setup docs... [10:36] jatt: I'd have to look at the postfix documentation to be sure. I don't remember [10:36] shomon: i thought you were running ubuntu inside virtualbox? [10:36] I want to check, to be sure postuser ain't doing rm -f ;) [10:37] it ain't in /var/mail I guess [10:37] Anyone use ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 and can tell me if its stable or not [10:37] i did use it [10:37] it was pretty stable [10:37] !11.04 | Scarra3 [10:37] Scarra3: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

It gets confusing [10:38] ubuntu 10.10 [10:38] please help [10:38] jatt: Anyway, "sudo postfix -f" will flush the mail queue. Then you can run the postsuper command to purge. You may have a large deferred mail queue as well. In that case, use, "sudo postsuper -d ALL deferred" [10:38] jatt: postqueue -p [10:38] not sure how to find that out... the screen title says oracle vm virtualbox? [10:39] shomon: then change the screen resolution within xp (think of the vbox window as xp's monitor) [10:39] whcta9, I'm guessing it's an issue with whatever you're trying to compile. [10:39] no, I can't [10:39] I did [10:39] sudo postsuper -d ALL [10:39] and still is running [10:39] it only goes up to 800x600 [10:39] I hope it doesn't get out of control :) [10:39] How can I get gitolite on ubuntu 9.04 [10:39] andycc: aparently most others can compile it fine [10:39] :S [10:40] jatt: It'll be ok. Just give it some time. You must have had a lot of mail-generating scripts!

[10:43] jatt: don't mean to be rude but don't you think there might be something wrong with your script(s)? [10:43] ouch, installing 93 updates. glad that's just a vbox window [10:44] jatt: And now that you have told cron to not deliver system messages, things should be fairly quiet. [10:44] ThinkT510: my scripts suck :) [10:44] # [10:44] ThinkT510: but to be fair it was a really strange issue the content of the mails where errors from git [10:45] jatt: at least you can write scripts, i copy and paste :) === cuzoka is now known as watcher [10:45] jatt: What did your scripts accomplish for you?

I would just ignore it. and not worry about it [12:47] DAM [12:47] uabn93: it could be that grub just got confused by the 7 bootloader or an old vista install ... if you don't have it you can remove it or uncomment it (if you know how to edit config files) [12:48] I have a brand new hard drive, replacing the (second) one that just died, and disk utility is showing over 200 bad sectors already.

[12:54] nergal__: there are a lot of packages involved in that, I think the easiest way to figure it out is to try and install a 32-bit app and check the list of other packages it wants to install [12:54] gaelfx: i would test the other drives in a usb enclosure also. [12:54] Hmm. i dont recall needing any 32bit libs when i use wine on my 64bit systems [12:54] Dr_Willis: yeah, I'll have to pick up one of those handy-dandy easy swap things, whatever they're called [12:55] Dr_Willis: wine requires 32bit opengl for d3d [12:55] gaelfx: i got one that does ide, sata, and mini sata all in one.

[12:56] * Dr_Willis thought a game used D3D OR opengl.. not sure why D3D would need opengl.. but what do i know. :) [12:57] Dr_Willis: wine wraps Direct3D through opengl [12:57] since direct3d doesnt exists in linux [12:57] Hello, any can help me with my ath9k wireless speed issue?

I've been using debian for my production server for a while, but I never actually had to install it ;-) [14:10] but ye, nice read.

Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss" and "could not read from resource" [14:11] sebastian__: where is this game? it might be on a filesystem that's read-only or that doesn't allow executables [14:11] please help [14:11] !dvd | sdfg [14:11] sdfg: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[14:13] ThinkT510: brr.. there's no way to repair that. The service centre said I need to 'change the motherboard'. [14:13] sebastian__: cd "Folder with spaces" or cd Folder\ with\ spaces [14:13] costs way too much. [14:13] LjL: is there other fix? [14:13] sebastian__, use tab to auto complete or \ [14:13] is there a way i can install gvfs-backends without installing samba? [14:13] Soothsayer: better getting a new laptop if they advise to change the motherboard [14:13] meh [14:14] ThinkT510: absolutely!

[14:17] I'm trying to update a package on an old ubuntu server beyond what the server seems to think is the newest version(libapache2-mod-php5, 5.2.4 on server but the newest in real world is 5.3.something). Is it somehow possible to get past that? [14:17] !latest [14:17] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [14:17] that one was fast, ubottu [14:18] LjL: chmod +x StarCraft\ II.exe [14:18] this sounds very optimistic.. but if my laptop works with Ubuntu desktop edition... can I get the netbook thing over it? [14:18] sebastian__: and what's the output? [14:18] LjL: The file '/media/Extern/Spel/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source [14:19] it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the [14:19] sebastian__: but what's the output of that chmod command? is there any? [14:19] no there is none when i run it in the terminal [14:19] check file attribs [14:19] sebastian__, try adding sudo in front [14:19] wait [14:19] sebastian__: anyway it's probably because /media/Extern is marked as noexec [14:19] you can run it with wine regardless [14:19] freezway: i did, but didnt work [14:19] ruan: You have a valid point there, but in this case 5.3 has been out for general use for a long time. [14:19] ok [14:19] hi [14:19] Soothsayer: you can install the desktop edition on your netbook if you like (if thats what you mean) [14:19] hi [14:20] LjL: i've tried the same on the default ubuntu harddrive [14:20] hey [14:20] how to add user with encrypted home directory?

[16:31] !ot | kb0b [16:31] kb0b: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:31] kb0b: ask in #freenode [16:31] kb0b: that would be rude [16:32] anyone seen an Aero Shake feature for Ubuntu? [16:33] kb0b: It would depend on your IRC client. And yes, on a working IRC network like freenode that might be considered rude. [16:33] Ok, Ext3 worked, phew! Did it with gparted. Now during installation, will I get the option to just select this drive and not format against instead? [16:33] Lacan what are the steps of using remastersys [16:33] I just created one partition which is the whole size of the disk as ext3. [16:33] hey every1, i messed up my boot partition. I've hit the maximum number of primary partitions so i decided not use an extra partition for /boot and simply deleted it hoping it to simply install grub again on the other parition, but didnt realize that i was also deleting all the kernels? [16:33] anyone knows what's wrong when stdlib.h can't seem to find a macro for abort? Trying to compile thirdparty source and it's failing on 3 different projects for the same reasons === AaronCampbell_ is now known as AaronCampbell [16:33] for instance /usr/include/c++/4.4/cstdlib:105: error: ‘::abort’ has not been declaredIn file included from /usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/stl_algo.h:60 [16:34] pici: what are the steps of using remastersys [16:34] hey every1, i messed up my boot partition. I've hit the maximum number of primary partitions so i decided not use an extra partition for /boot and simply deleted it hoping it to simply install grub again on the other parition, but didnt realize that i was also deleting all the kernels. can anyone1 help restore the mess? [16:34] deepak_: I don't know. I've never used it. [16:34] Soothsayer: if you deleted any other partitions that means everything else on the disk is gone (like windows) [16:34] pici: k [16:34] ThinkT510: yup, i wanted everything to go. [16:35] thinkT50: what are the steps of using remastersys [16:35] Soothsayer: ok, i hope you backed up what you wanted to keep beforehand [16:35] deepak_: i don't know [16:36] I should be using the "Specify partitions manually" option right ? [16:36] ThinkT510: yes, I did backup :) [16:36] Soothsayer: if you want to have a custom partition layout, then yes [16:37] just like the windows 7 installer [16:37] soothsayer : plz tell me how use remastersys inubuntu [16:37] Soothsayer: you must have at least one partition: root (/), swap partition is usually advisable too [16:38] it says no root file system defined. [16:38] deepak_: be patient and ask the channel [16:38] tt [16:38] Soothsayer: when you created the partition you need to set a mountpoint: / (root) [16:39] ThinkT510: :-S I have no idea what that is. [16:39] ThinkT510: So I should reformat? [16:40] Soothsayer: when you did the partitioning a box came up and you chose ext3, in that box it also mentions mountpoints in a dropdown list [16:40] hello, what is up with empathy not having the channel list option? [16:40] soothsayer : channels are backup dist distcdfg clean info [16:41] *Room List [16:41] deepak_: stop hassling random people [16:41] ThinkT510: I see. So shall I just delete the partition from within the installer itself ? === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 [16:41] I don't want to create a gparted bootable again :-( [16:42] !manual | Soothsayer [16:42] Soothsayer: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [16:42] Soothsayer: sorry, wrong factoid [16:42] ThinkT510: ok, there's a 'Change' button. Shall I say "Use as: Ext4 journaling file system" ? [16:43] Soothsayer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [16:43] Soothsayer: thats a nice easy guide [16:43] ThinkT510: I've been using that itself. [16:43] Soothsayer: seems like you've never installed ubuntu [16:43] But I've been facing issues in getting the partitions right. [16:43] yes I haven't [16:44] do you know Key-Management Protocol?please help me! [16:44] Soothsayer: ok, bear with me, i'll try to walk you through it === nestor_ is now known as Pro-racing [16:44] need help [16:45] ThinkT510: I appreciate that. Should I change change the partition to "Ext3 journaling file system" ? that enables the drop down to select a "Mount Point" [16:45] need help [16:45] Soothsayer: ext4 should work as well, as long as you ticked the box saying format [16:46] need help [16:46] ThinkT510: I've been trying an ext4 format since an hour now. [16:46] ext4 just does not work, gives an error for some reason. [16:46] does anyone know what's wrong when software can't find the ::abort function in the cstdlib? Been trying to install some software and seem to run into this a few times, i.e opencv [16:46] both through ubuntu and gparter [16:46] need help [16:46] Gurke_: might get a better response if you go ahead and ask your question ;) [16:46] gparted* [16:46] so [16:46] Gurke_: state your problem then someone can help you [16:46] i have a advanced hard disk drive [16:46] ThinkT510: Should I settle for ext3? unless there's a major performance difference ? [16:46] 4 KB sectors [16:46] Soothsayer: ok, stick to ext3 then [16:46] !root [16:46] 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 [16:46] WD EArs 1 TB green hddd [16:47] and it needed advanded partitioniering [16:47] ThinkT510: ok, ext3 with mount point / worked. [16:47] clicking "Install now" [16:47] WD align tool says [16:47] AT LEAST !! kernel 2.6.37 [16:47] no i meant [16:47] 2..6.34 [16:47] !info linux-image [16:47] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.35.28.36 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [16:47] so i need [16:47] maverickt or natty [16:47] ThinkT510: by the way, let me confirm. There is just one partition /dev/sda1 of type = ext3 with mount point = / [16:48] Gurke_: Please stop pressing enter so often. [16:48] ok [16:48] so i need maverick or natty [16:48] Soothsayer: partitioning is easily the most difficult part of an install, yes that sounds good [16:48] ThinkT510: and there's 8156 mb free space. Do I need to create a swap area or something? [16:48] Gurke_: Natty hasn't been released. [16:48] yes i know [16:48] Gurke_: Maverick then. [16:48] but i heard !! not sure about that, it is already stable [16:48] but okay you right [16:48] Soothsayer: if you want to, theres no point in making a swap partition any bigger than 2 gb [16:49] is it bad that i have green hdd ?? [16:49] Gurke_: no [16:49] ok [16:49] thanks for helping meeee [16:49] Gurke_: no, i use green HDs in servers all the time.. not the best performance, but sure does cut down on power from what ive seen [16:49] ThinkT510: I'd like to have the hibernate feature. Plus, this laptop has 3 gb ram. [16:49] Gurke_: Note that no BIOS I've ever encountered has allowed booting from a drive with 4K logical sectors. You'll probably need /boot/ on a different drive. [16:50] ok [16:50] it works [16:50] Soothsayer: ok, 3 gb swap then [16:50] I was reinstalling ubuntu 10.10 side by windows 7 OS, but now I cannot open my C drive.. it says [16:50] it gives error mouning C drive [16:50] 1024 * 3 = 3072 mb = swap partition then. [16:50] mounting** [16:50] bhavesh: Boot Windows 7 and run chkdsk. [16:50] ThinkT510: does it matter if it's at the beginning or end? [16:51] Soothsayer: i've never bothered with hibernating so that didn't occur to me, you're right to have swap the same size as ram [16:51] Jordan_U: I cannot boot from my windows 7 CD, dunno why but it just says "grub rescue" [16:51] ThinkT510: see, I have been reading the manuals sir ;-) [16:51] Soothsayer: nope, place it where you wish [16:51] bhavesh: You installed grub to your Windows partition boot sector. You almost never want to install grub to a partition. [16:51] Jordan_U: Should I follow this? http://wmarkito.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/how-to-fix-mftmirr-does-not-match-mft-record-0/ [16:52] ThinkT510: I still have 5 gb remaining. I don't know from where that has appeared. I guess it's the place where vaio puts its recovery stuff, etc. [16:52] Anyway, I don't care about 5 gb.. moving forward then. [16:52] Jordan_U: I just wanna keep my files safe. [16:52] hello, please how can i switch between internal and external microphone on KDE with pulseaudio? Kmix see only 1 input, but "alsamixer hw:0" see two of them. One being microphone jack and one integrated microphone... how can i make pulseaudio to see both of them please? [16:52] Soothsayer: I take it UbuntuLiveCD work well? [16:53] bhavesh: No, don't follow that unless you can't run chkdsk from within Windows. [16:53] red2kic: yes, it worked fine. [16:53] even my wifi card was detected [16:53] Jordan_U: OK let me try booting from my CD again :) [16:53] what could be causing my pinter to be printing raw postscript? [16:53] bhavesh: Follow this guide to restore your Windows partition boot record: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [16:53] as ascii [16:54] ok now its back to the "Creatin ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of SCS!1 .... " screen [16:54] Soothsayer: Nice. I have to ask why you didn't opt for Automatic Partition (Full disk) Installation? [16:54] Soothsayer: an intel wifi wasn't it? [16:54] *fingers crossed* [16:54] red2kic: I did that first! It failed. [16:54] red2kic: I tried it thrice infact! Looks like there's an issue with formatting for ext4 on this disk. [16:54] ThinkT510: yup. [16:54] bhavesh: And remember, *never* install grub's boot sector to a partition (like /dev/sda1). Always install grub to the mbr (like /dev/sda). [16:55] Is there any other browser that can do chromeless kiosk mode like Google Chrome? [16:55] Soothsayer: You ran md5sum on the iso? (I guess not). Anyway, good luck. ext3 will work just great. It's far better than NTFS. :P [16:55] What would happen if I remove compiz? [16:55] Superstar: You fall back to metacity, perhaps. [16:55] Soothsayer: good, next step.. [16:55] red2kic: yes, md5 matched too. (I really did do an md5) [16:55] Jordan_U: erm u cannot select where to install gurb isnt it? [16:55] ThinkT510: it's copying files..phew! [16:56] I LOVE the UI of the installer. [16:56] red2kic: i thought compiz was for effects? [16:56] Superstar: Correct. [16:56] Soothsayer: this is 10.10 you're installing yes? [16:56] red2kic: then what is metacity lol [16:56] ThinkT510: ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 [16:56] Do sticky bits work with samba? [16:56] Jordan_U,,, is the mbr always on /dev/sda? [16:56] bhavesh: At some point someone installed grub to your Windows partition boot sector. By default grub is installed to the MBR so that must have been done / selected manually. [16:56] Soothsayer, i just did that install yesterday [16:57] Superstar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity [16:57] LAcan_: Maybe. But the problem is with ext4 and my hard drive for some reason. [16:57] Superstar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz [16:57] Soothsayer, and its awesome. u dont need to remove compiz, just set the effects in desktop properties to none [16:57] Jordan_U: k [16:57] LAcan_: compiz? [16:57] Toph: No, every disk has an mbr. So it could also be /dev/sdb for instance. But never /dev/sdXY, always /dev/sdX. [16:57] Automatic Partition (Full disk) Installation uses ext4 by default ? [16:57] Soothsayer, does the install give you an error about 'not known what is on sdX'? [16:58] Jordan_U,,, ok,, thanks [16:58] LAcan_: You mean Superstar, not Soothsayer. :) [16:58] LAcan_: yes, I think that was it. I had it on my clipboard, but lost the error message.. [16:58] Toph: You're welcome. [16:58] lol. [16:58] im confused. [16:58] Soothsayer, i had the same thing because i ddint define a swap partition [16:58] But I can see grub being installed. :) [16:58] red2kic, yes, thanks! [16:58] LAcan_: I thought Automatic Partition will do the swap bit. [16:59] Soothsayer: It does. [16:59] red2kic: just to confirm, removing compiz would remove the default ubuntu 10.10 theme? [16:59] so i made a token swap file of 1.3 gbs.. i have 8gigs of ram, i did it only for compatibility reasons [16:59] Superstar: No. It will not. [16:59] Superstar: compiz is optional. [16:59] Soothsayer: have you put in your details (login name, password etc)? [16:59] LAcan_: compatibility with what? [16:59] Superstar, why u removing compiz? i switched to ubuntu just to get it, lol [16:59] Superstar: People with low RAM would opt for metacity over compiz. [17:00] ThinkT510: yup, I did all of that. [17:00] ayecee, well the install, first off.. otherwise i dunno.. legacy stuff? [17:00] * bhavesh thinks Ubuntu 10.10 was the best Ubunutu release so far [17:00] Hi guys, I am looking for a way to execute a shell script on multiple computers (100+). Whats the best way to do it? [17:00] Soothsayer: fantastic, you must be on the slideshow waiting for the finish [17:00] ThinkT510: installation is complete! w00t.. It's rebooting now. [17:00] Wow, that was really fast. [17:00] red2kic: I'm uninstalling it to see what happens :P [17:00] * LAcan_ agress with bhavesh [17:00] LAcan_: the install doesn't require swap, esp with 8gb. [17:00] ayecee, couldnt get it moving any other way [17:00] Soothsayer: Usually, the automatic installation would make everything done smoothly -- but in some situation like yourself, things are more difficult / troubleshooting for newcomers. So sorry. :( [17:01] ayecee, would just generate an error at the first step.. timezones [17:01] Hey, guys. Has anyone done any image/photo recognition? Not facial - but things like logos, etc. Basically what Google Goggles does. I'm trying to find similar software solutions. [17:01] LAcan_: strange. [17:01] lacan: i have a fairly old laptop that i think would perform better without compiz [17:01] ayecee, ya, im kind of newbish as well... but i tried a bunch of times without a swap, which i could do with lubuntu [17:01] red2kic: it's alright. I expected some glitches with this laptop especially. Great UI though, hats-off! [17:02] SuperLag, LUBUNTU! [17:02] err [17:02] Superstar, get lubuntu, you will love it [17:02] Superstar, it is amazing! [17:02] Superstar, and no Compiz will it, in fact, it wont run it properly because openbox is so ingrained in the window manager [17:02] Soothsayer: Remember. Everything are pretty much customizable. If you find something you don't like, the chance is that you frigging can change it. Freedom. :) [17:03] red2kic, on that note, do u know if there is a 'window shake' applet for ubuntu smilar to Windows 7 shake? [17:03] nhoc_t39 : welcome to #ubuntu [17:03] I'm just going to reboot and see what happens! Worst comes to worst I'll just reinstall Ubuntu [17:04] LAcan_: Gnome3.0 (or shell) have that feature already. You're talking about split windows or...? [17:04] LUBUNTU for old PC's man, you will not regret it [17:04] red2kic: yup. I've been a debian server user. [17:04] red2kic, no, like u grab a window by the titlebar, u shake it and all the other windows are minimized [17:04] I cannot boot from my Windows 7 CD, it directly starts Ubuntu :( [17:05] bhavesh, u need to go into bios [17:05] bhavesh, and set the boot order to have ur CD drive first [17:05] bhavesh: change the boot order in the bios [17:05] LAcan: 1st priority is CD ROM [17:05] bhavesh, is it a Sony? [17:05] LAcan_: Ah. Gnome3 does it a differently. There are no more minimize or maximize buttons. I haven't got a chance to play with it but it's supposed to be more simplicity. [17:05] LAcan_: Also, does CTRL + ALT + D work for you too? [17:05] LAcan: dunno... but I have a DVD.. [17:05] hii to all [17:05] red2kic, what is the window manager on ubuntu default? [17:05] !wine nhoc_t39 [17:06] bhavesh, what brand is the computer? [17:06] LAcan_: Metacity. Until you activate the additional drivers (for your card) and install/enable compiz.

Does anyone know of a solution for this? [17:30] lighta: how about ifconfig? [17:31] bhavesh, ok, so when u hit F10 do u get a list with your drives on it, or do you go to seperate screen with a ton of options on it?

After studying some more on Ubuntu I found out that the sudo command - if I called it incorrectly please tell me - allows me to borrow the admins priviledges. So is there actually no need for me to worry about the root account on the computer? Does it have a password af [17:41] ter installation or do I need to set one up? [17:41] !root [17:41] 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.

Anyone know why I could reach anywhere locally on the network, but not through the firewall except through a proxy? There are no outbound rules on the gateway (and this was working only a few days ago) [19:43] Sharing folders in Ubuntu is slightly confusing, where do I set Workgroup name? [19:43] Roasted, well, that's what is looked at by the startup script in /etc/rc1.d/K40dhcp3-server [19:43] Do I need a workgroup name? [19:43] Seven_Six_Two, k, just wantedt o make sure because it was blank...

Unfortunately I don't have it working to verify. [19:44] Roasted, because the script looks for a default config to know when not to start [19:44] Does a Windows computer with a different workgroup name be able to access that share?

Or Fn key with brightness? [19:48] one min. [19:48] amin__: yes, but not simple to configure to how you like it, unless you're used to text config files and perhaps a little scripting [19:49] can i post it the fdisk to see it? may can i fix from ubuntu [19:49] Acid190: up and down keys, yay! so much better.. the mouse took me a minute to click and drag.. and the whole panel tossed to the left of the screen [19:49] but i'd prefer the Fn functionality back :-( [19:49] amin__: want to see a screenshot of my conky? [19:49] Guest93978: if windows is crashing.. i dont think you are going to be doing much with fdisk, or from ubuntu to fix it..

[20:20] you won't get "full acceleration", ie video decoding acceleration, but the framebuffer driver is very slow, just having an accelerated one can make the difference [20:20] raidghost: and check out the video players that have that Vpadu (vdpau?) feature that make better use of the cards/nvdia drivers [20:20] <__Alex_> DeviceZer0: Aptitude is good at resolving broken packages, try it [20:20] DeviceZer0 I'm in arch it is quite easy look around at the button list on the bottom left [20:21] __Alex_, yea. i always used aptitude over apt* :) [20:21] any clue? [20:21] yea. idk. i dont think synaptic is gonna fix it with magic hehe [20:22] yea synaptic didnt do anything [20:22] <__Alex_> And what does the 'language-selector' do? [20:22] i tried "fix broken packages" which doesnt seem to do antyhing [20:22] __Alex_, unfortunately its tied in deep. i tried to remove it which prompted me to unstall gnome-desktop [20:23] err ubuntu-desktop [20:23] ActionParsnip: welcome back [20:23] <__Alex_> Aha, that's a metapackage problem [20:23] how can i make bootable pendrive? [20:23] i just dont see why this would crap out in the 1st place hehe [20:23] <__Alex_> DeviceZer0: Don't worry, you can uninstall that, it's just a metapackage [20:24] !usb | jndlsnl [20:24] jndlsnl: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:24] is anyone having a problem with language-selector-common installing? im trying to do a dist-upgrade from a virgin maverick install and it's failing... it was working about an hour ago, this seems to be recent [20:24] oski: you won't get "full acceleration", ie video decoding acceleration, but the framebuffer driver is very slow, just having an accelerated one can make the differenc [20:25] Is the driver able to be downloaded from net? [20:25] hmm [20:25] ThinkT510: ty [20:25] I didnt understand correctly i guess [20:25] how do i install a new kernel i download the newest one 2.6.38 [20:25] ActionParsnip: I have /var/log/messages open, not sure if that's what you wanted [20:25] ayrton: you don't === Drama is now known as derp [20:25] ayrton: you use the kernels ubuntu provides [20:25] ActionParsnip: you seemed to leave abruptly, everything ok? [20:25] Acid190: did you check the logs [20:25] this is bogus [20:25] ThinkT510: yeah just setting up unity bar, it takes me a while [20:25] gnarly [20:26] i figured it out and yes i am i need to for a reason === rww_ is now known as rww [20:26] <__Alex_> ayrton: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian [20:26] <__Alex_> ayrton: It's a Debian guide, but i tested it on UNR, and it works [20:26] !kernel | ayrton [20:26] ayrton: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [20:26] ActionParsnip:sorry, this is the first times i've had to check logs, am I in the right folder?

As in it doesn't wait for the application to close before continuing?

[20:36] matteppii: no, there was something like apachectrl [20:36] What are the releases names after lucid lynx [20:36] DemoOn: are you using apache2?

Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [20:38] yea. [20:39] mar: it wouldn't be a dead pixel if you could catch it, i'd just kill the panel and restart or move a mouse over it - anything to refresh that area [20:39] it seems google only shows results from 2008 and earlier any more, so i am here asking whats up with language-selector & language-selector-common on fresh install ? [20:40] will a deamon autorestart in crash? [20:41] i'm getting different results from a dpkg-query of ${Maintainer} than i am with an aptitude search for %m. both of these are supposed to be the same thing, but the return differs on a given package. any ideas? [20:41] I have a Lucid VM that is configured only with root, sudo is installed but apparently there's go group to it. How do I configure it and allow a user to use sudo, so I can disable root? [20:41] i need a script/program that constantly checks connection to the internet, and logs whenever its lost. any1 know a script/program to recommend?

[20:43] rizzuh_laptop: can it be used from a shell? [20:43] http://dpaste.org/70T7/ language-selector broke, i only installed this machine 10 minutes ago [20:43] rizzuh_laptop: sudo adduser admin [20:43] Hans_Henrik, yeah [20:44] jqke, admin group doesn'r even exist :| this is a weirdly configured VM [20:44] <__Alex_> rizzuh_laptop: do you see the line starting with 'root'? One line lover, type the exact same, and replace 'root' with your username [20:44] <__Alex_> rizzuh_laptop: Then it should work [20:45] can someone help me with the error: aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined [20:46] rizzuh_laptop: is the VM supposed to be some "hardened" distro? [20:46] huhu [20:46] great job ubuntu - language selector fails, because language-selector-common fails... which causes ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-standard to fail.. outstanding job.. well done [20:46] Hans_Henrik, nope. Standard Lucid setup, but I suppose they use root cause it's autogenerated, and the system generates a default root password. [20:46] There is a script to auto rerun a prgram on crash? [20:46] rizzuh_laptop: you're not using an Ubuntu Lucid.. it does not have root account enabled and sudo would be in the admin group [20:47] ubunwho: do you tinks thats constructive? [20:47] rizzuh_laptop: then that is not a standard lucid install. where did you get the ISO to install it to the VM? [20:47] ActionParsnip: certainly, if there is a wider issue, then it should be known [20:47] can anyone help me with autoconf/libtool/automake? I keep getting this error: aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined [20:47] how can u use linux as a server to control virus and optimum usage on a windows network [20:47] ubunwho: then you should log a bug, not rant pointlessly in an irc channel [20:47] ActionParsnip: you can pack your emotions back into your lunch pale [20:47] <__Alex_> matteppii: You need to write one yourself! [20:47] hello [20:47] ubunwho: logging bugs does something, making noise here doesn't [20:48] !attitude | ubunwho [20:48] ubunwho: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [20:48] ActionParsnip: it got you aroused. off to work. bye [20:48] __Alex_ i don't know how! can you give me some help? [20:48] bastidrazor, you don't get an ISO, you select an image. They're made by the host - VPS.net. [20:48] ubunwho: while 1 call program --something? :p [20:48] __Alex_: i don't know how! can you give me some help? [20:48] has anyone installed CineFX aka Jahshaka under ubuntu 10/11? [20:48] hey I can diss ubuntu to get attention too! [20:48] man ubuntu is so wack, i keep getting aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined [20:48] lwizardl: natty is offtopic here so if you are asking about natty I suggest you ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:48] what a turd! [20:48] bastidrazor, they do have some customizations for the kernel (so they can support resizing VMs without rebooting and so on), but this is unexpected and weird. [20:49] lol [20:49] rizzuh_laptop: then you should contact them for support. the lucid install you're using is not standard. [20:49] LAcan: have you searched the forums and such? [20:49] ActionParsnip, ya, quite a bit [20:49] <__Alex_> matteppii: Hey! I'm not an Encyklopedia! learn schripting and write you'r schript! [20:49] bastidrazor, ChmEarl in #ubuntu-server gave me a script to get this sorted. [20:49] rizzuh_laptop: good deal. best of luck. [20:50] bastidrazor, thanks === soreau_ is now known as soreau [20:50] __Alex_: sorry i just wanted some help [20:50] ActionParsnip, well if you read the post it said 10/11 so that would be the same as directly asking "in 10 or 11) aka 10.04,10.10, or 11.04 (which 11.04 is not officially released so 10(04 or 10) would be the common versions [20:51] LAcan: acting up won't get you support [20:51] lol, was a joke [20:51] Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and now my sound will not work at all [20:51] lwizardl: so why ask about natty if it is offtopic? [20:52] Kevb: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk;sudo jockey-gtk; do any good? [20:52] kev; i have the same problem but you can google it. i bet your headphones work [20:52] <__Alex_> matteppii: What's helpable on making scripts? Just let you'r imagination and create the script [20:52] hey guys, im noticing ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing, it will freeze, and i can either move the mouse and nothing work, or the mouse wont even move [20:52] I rebuilt my kernel, and I was wondering is there a way to have ubuntu use those setting whenever I get a new kernel update or do I need it rebuild it every time? [20:52] ActionParsnip, maybe because this is a channel for Ubuntu and since lots of people download and try out the beta's also, and since 11.04 is a build upon 10.10 it would be something people have done [20:53] lwizardl: I suggest you leave the natty bits out, keeps the channel ontopic [20:53] <__Alex_> Aftermath: Have you tryed to 'CRTL+ALT+F1-6'? [20:53] __Alex_, what does that do [20:53] <__Alex_> Multitasking [20:53] lwizardl: if you want support on the beta, it's not here is all I'm saying :) [20:53] ActionParsnip, if your not knowledgeable on the application then don't try to sound smart and be a mini-mod [20:53] lwizardl: theres a reason the topic mentions where you can get 11.04 support [20:53] please i need help [20:53] lwizardl: everyone should keep everyone on topic [20:53] whatsup pradeep [20:54] pradeep: don't think you can run a win antivirus, on ubuntu [20:54] !ppa | lwizardl: there may be a ppa [20:54] lwizardl: there may be a ppa: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [20:54] Still does not work, I notice if I turn them up really loud i can hear faint noises [20:54] ThinkT510, did I ask if anyone in here was using the 11.04 no! I asked about an application. I asked if anyone has tried the program. [20:54] Kevb: On a right side of upper pane you have a sound icon. Click it first with the left button and make sure it is not set to 0%, then with the right and check if it's not muted. [20:54] Kevb, console alsa-mixer [20:55] LAcan: when do you get the error? [20:55] ActionParsnip, trying to build Barry [20:55] ThinkT510, if you do a google search for the application I was talking about nothing seems to be found since 9.04 so asking for questions on a application in here is ontop [20:55] Aftermath: Are those crashes completely random, or do they occure in certain situations? [20:55] LAcan: http://www.mail-archive.com/automake@gnu.org/msg13328.html [20:55] ActionParsnip, which is called in a build script by the author [20:56] LAcan: seems they are using an older autoconf (or something) [20:56] hello [20:56] hi men, one question, it's wrong create a deb with dpkg-deb --build? [20:56] how do you change ownership of a folder and everything inside of it in nautilus? [20:56] hey guys, im noticing ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing, it will freeze, and i can either move the mouse and nothing work, or the mouse wont even move [20:56] ActionParsnip, again if you took the time to read that question you will see I asked about 10 first and then 11 second. so that was more a possible tack on since that will be the current version in 9 days or so [20:56] ActionParsnip, ya I read that already and it doesnt include a fix [20:56] torchie, u have to enable adnaced file permissions [20:56] Afteraffekt: Are those crashes completely random, or do they occure in certain situations? [20:56] hi. ksoftirqd/7 cpu time is 517 hours. Is high cpu temp cause that problem? [20:56] torchie; i suggest Tweak Ubuntu [20:57] is that in the nautilus preferences? [20:57] Afteraffekt: Sorry, I adressed someone else accidentally ;) [20:57] lwizardl: it's still offtopic, even 1 day before release [20:57] I wonder if this sound card is even support, fairly old computer [20:57] torchie, im sure you can do it manualy, but Ubuntu Tweak will do it easily [20:57] Galvatron, it is hard to tell, Im using macbuntu transformation - and compiz, and cairo dock, its happened once going over the dock, and once trying to open a tab in chrome, and once clicking xchat [20:57] what and where is ubuntu tweak [20:57] u can get it from the Software Centre [20:57] alright [20:57] i'm just going to add you ActionParsnip to my ignore list. [20:57] why isn't something like this enabled by default :o [20:58] Afteraffekt: What video card do you have? [20:58] Hello, there! why this happens and how can I solve it? I have several SD cards but one ocuppies the SD card slot most of the time [there is only one on my PC]; whenever I remove this SD card and insert another, Ubuntu will not acknowledge its existence; I am acostumed to reboot in such occasions, but I want to fix this once and for all; furthermore, if I reinsert the first SD card, Ubuntu does not 'see it' either! I tried mounting it but ge [20:58] torchie, so newbs dont rubuics cube their installs [20:58] torchie: if the files are all owned by you then running it then assigning ownership should work, if not then yo may be able to use: gksudo nautilus but I'm unsure if the ownership can be given to others. You could just use chown, much easier [20:58] people either answer the question if they know the answer or the don't comment which seems to be too smart for some people here [20:58] lwizardl: be my guest [20:58] cyclist_2, try unmounting the card in ubuntu before removing the first card [20:58] torchie: and best case scenario it's never needed by the average user [20:58] lwizardl: I gave you a helpful link via ubottu, you obviously have checked that, right [20:58] Kevb: I told you already what to check first. You might also type "alsamixer" in terminal. [20:58] anyone using office 2007 under wine ? [20:59] Soothsayer_: checked the appdb? [20:59] I've got a folder that I transferred from my osx drive, and it was marked for root ownership and everything inside of it too [20:59] Galvatron, so i am using the restricted ati drivers for my 3200 HD [20:59] can anyone help me with "aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined" [20:59] which is leading to permissions issues with git [21:00] i want to knw whether i can make the linux a server [21:00] torchie: then run: sudo chown -R $USER:USER folder and it will assign to the user running the command (assuming it can use sudo) [21:00] LAcan: your aclocal macros are out of date or missing [21:00] torchie: Is there a specific reason you don't just use chown? [21:00] so as to check any packet person tru [21:00] I didn't think I'd have to if there were controls to change permissions in the graphical interface [21:00] Afteraffekt: I believe it is not mounted anymore; the mounting point exists but there is nothing there; I did unmount it when I removed the SD card the first time, though [21:01] sucks, alsa doesnt even list this sound card, no wonder [21:01] ohsix, But I just installed them all! [21:01] pradeep: 'tasksel' will aid you in this. [21:01] torchie: it's far easier to use and advise in cli ;) [21:01] Afteraffekt: Radeons are not famous for getting along well with Linux. After a crash, are you able to kill X, or switch to terminal with Alt + Ctrl + F1? [21:01] cyclist_2, so you middle clicked, or right clicked the mounted sd card and clicked unmount? if the mount point is still there it wasnt unmounted [21:01] torchie; take my word for it. tweak ubuntu is a gui that will let u fix nautilus [21:01] LAcan: whatever you're building needs new ones, they're also cached in the package [21:01] Galvatron, i havent tried that, i will next time it happens [21:02] if it allows me to, its probably x crashing correct? [21:02] if that was the case we would be better off just dumping all graphical interfaces eh [21:02] ohsix, so how can I get these new ones? [21:02] LAcan: learn to use autotools :O [21:02] software center isn't opening all of a sudden, it's chown time [21:02] hi, is there anyway to jailbreak ios 4.3 in ubuntu yet? [21:02] Afteraffekt:Probably. Switching to terminal might be especially usefull, as there might be some error-related output. [21:03] BKTech86: not supported here [21:03] torchie: the cli is where a LOT of linux's power lies, it can automate and do things the gui stuff can only dream about [21:03] torchie: Run sudo nautilus,then browse to the folder,then right click,then permissions,then choose include all files contained in folder.. [21:03] Afteraffekt: no; I used the 'safely remove drive' feature; that did remove the mounting point; later, I had to recreate it to mount the other SD card [21:03] BKTech86: if there was, you'd hear of it from the people making the tools to do it [21:03] gregL: gksudo for graphical applications. [21:03] gregL: gksudo nautilus DON'T advise users use sudo with nautilus please [21:03] ohsix, thats not gonna happen quickly enough, lol [21:03] Galvatron, i hadnt tried, def try again [21:03] i tried sudo nautilus earlier to no avail [21:03] cyclist_2, have you been able to mount the other cards successfully? [21:03] huh there's a different sudo for graphical applications eh [21:04] gonna have to remember that [21:04] torchie: change it in terminal.. much easier. [21:04] I've been sudo nautilusing [21:04] bastidrazor, ActionParsnip sure no problem.. [21:04] ThinkT510, ohsix: thanks [21:04] ActionParsnip: to be more correct, don't tell people to run (gk)sudo ssh -X to log in to a remote machine as root w/x forwarding [21:04] torchie: you can use gksudo for both if you want, sudo doesn't setup the environment correctly and will cause issues [21:04] :[ [21:04] any othr suggestions on what to do about this sound issue? [21:04] ohsix: it can also bork ownership of ~/.ICEAuthority [21:05] if you run something that maninpulates your credentials, like ssh -X [21:05] Kevb: Have you already chceck sound optiond and alsamixer I'd mentiones? [21:05] Yes I have [21:05] so would I sudo chown -R root:username /dir ? [21:05] *mentioned [21:05] Afteraffekt: well, only the USB variety; right now I have a pen drive that is automatically recognised whenever I reinsert it; the SD card reader [built-in] is the one giving me grief [21:05] torchie: sudo chown -R username:group [21:06] group? [21:06] it's nothing about setting up the environment either; sayingg use gksudo for gui apps suffices, no need to disseminate bad information [21:06] torchie: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/dir [21:06] cyclist_2, its possible the drives need to be checked for errors? [21:06] torchie: that command will set the ownership to you and all files in that directory [21:06] torchie: If you're using a standard Ubuntu setup, your username is a group. [21:07] Afteraffekt: how is that? [21:07] ohsix, do you know where I can find the aclocal macros? [21:07] torchie: if you want it mainly owned by root, sure (bit silly for user data) [21:07] cyclist_2, they may have been improperly removed in the past, or in windows, can cause mounting problems in linux [21:07] changing it to just me [21:07] torchie, why are you still arguing about this? UBUNTU TWEAK [21:08] ubuntu tweek is amazing [21:08] is the user:user "from user to user?" [21:08] * LAcan thank you Afteraffekt [21:08] do we updated today language-selector ? [21:08] LAcan: that is a bit extreme to just change ownership of one folder. [21:08] my nextech webcam doesn't work. what shoul I do? thanks [21:08] Afteraffekt: I am pretty sure that Ubuntu would mount it IF I rebooted again, but I do not want to do it anymore that way [21:08] bastidrazor, like its gonna be the only time [21:08] torchie: no, that means user:group [21:08] heh while installing the updates i got this error: http://pastebin.com/1NDCBECd any ideas on what i should do now ? [21:09] <__Alex_> zeina: Did it come with source kernel modules? [21:09] torchie: the command i gave you will fix your issues. the $USER is important. type it exact [21:09] cyclist_2, thats my only thoughts, if your unmounting the first properly, have you tried puling ht card out and reinserting it a few times? [21:09] __Alex_, I don't know. How can I check? [21:09] sudo chown -R $user:torchie /dir [21:09] torchie: that is not the command i gave you.

[21:12] torchie: then type it by hand. [21:12] Afteraffekt: I tried a few times just now and I got nothing [21:12] I would but I don't know what characters make up that smiley face [21:12] torchie: Is your username on your system torchie? [21:12] torchie: sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /path/to/dir without the spaces between the $ and U and the : and U [21:12] cyclist_2, then my thought was incorrect, sorryman, i tried [21:12] i was using torchie as an example [21:13] then dont use empathy? [21:13] Afteraffekt: well, thank you, anyway [21:13] i rather like empathy :( [21:13] though I've got to disable the smilies [21:13] torchie: e.g. sudo chown -R andy:andy /path/to/folder [21:13] alright, did it [21:14] cyclist_2, youve atleast got some troubleshooting out of the way [21:14] torchie: the "$USER" is an environment variable for your username. You can replace that with your actual username. [21:14] $user inserts the username string doesn't it [21:14] ah ok [21:14] alright, all's well [21:14] thanks for putting up with my crap lol [21:14] torchie: yes, its a variable for the user running the command, linux is a true multiuser OS so you can switch as you like, using $USER means you don't have to remember who you are [21:15] whats the problem with language-selector ?

I would like to see smaller fonts overall [22:11] Soothsayer: an alternative would be to have a windows vm just for those two apps [22:11] minion35: ye but dualboot doesn't appeal to me.. its not practical for me at least. [22:11] ThinkT510: that's what I was thinking. [22:12] I've got a 4 gb ram with a Quadcore. [22:12] i tried to install vmware tools but near the end it said "skipping x configuration because x drivers are not included" .. is this the reason i can't enable extra visual effects? [22:12] If I run linux in under 2, im good :) [22:12] constl: system > preferences > appearences > fonts [22:12] Soothsayer: What about a virtual machine?

[22:14] ok, thanks... i hope it will all work.. [22:14] why when i ssh to my server, its very very slow to appear the password: ? [22:15] @minion35 yes [22:15] i have to wait about 30seconds or so.. [22:15] or minutes.. [22:15] gyu: is it a logitech mouse? [22:16] Soothsayer: i'm off, have fun! [22:16] @minion35 its not a mouse its my touchpad [22:16] ThinkT510: thanks mate! [22:17] Anyone knows a good console based browser where I can extract cookies from [22:17] gyu: i had a similar problem but only a full install of a new version of ubuntu fixed it i had not the time to find the solution sorry [22:17] gyu: you could try this http://xpapad.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/dealing-with-mouse-and-touchpad-freezes-in-linux/ [22:18] gyu: is the system a branded pc? [22:18] @botcity i installed it twice with fresh install bt still had the same problem [22:18] gyu: or a lpatop? [22:18] @minion35 ok [22:18] linusoleander: lynk extracts them to a text file ....

[22:19] @actionparsnip it came installed with linpus linux [22:19] gyu: you don't need the @ character and it actually defeats highlighting, please don't add it [22:19] k [22:19] linusoleander: thats what lynx does with cookies, writes them to a text file. [22:20] gyu: Does your acer have a battery indicator under Ubuntu? [22:20] minion35: Do you by any chance know what file? [22:20] minion35 yes [22:21] Is there a way to grep two different lines at once?

[22:24] Sootsayer: If graphical id recommend Geany, otherwise nano for CLI based editing. Please don't start a vi vs emacs war *shudder* [22:24] actionparsnip m confused where to get those options which u r stating [22:24] chewy: there isn'tone [22:24] i tried root, gentoo, user, ... [22:24] ActionParsnip, oh ok [22:24] where is confogtool [22:24] gyu: press ALT+F2 and run them [22:24] chewy: leave it blank [22:25] ? [22:25] gyu: its a terminal command or you can use alt+f2 [22:25] minion35, ActionParsnip: it asks for something [22:25] i m trying to ssh it [22:25] ssh to a liveDVD? [22:25] chewy: press ALT+F2 and run: passwd ubuntu then press CTRL+ALT+F7 [22:25] minion35: i try to do a simulation, the date.txt contains commands, one in each line the java client connects to the server an retrieve commands from the server [22:25] minion35: sure, install openssh-server in the live environment, it will run [22:26] chewy: you can now connect via ssh [22:26] can anyon tell me how to enable bitmap fonts on 10.10? [22:26] Pyhlock: You could use some form of for loop and a thread at the end of each loop to wait a period of time before the next iteration [22:26] i ran gconftool in terminal command [22:27] minion35: you can do anything in livecd which you can do in an installed OS, except reboot to a new kernel [22:27] bt it dissapeared [22:27] ActionParsnip, i m a bit stupid: i thought i was on the gentoo channel... i m booting the gentoo livedvd ... sorry guys, and thank you [22:27] gyu: run the whole command, I gave the full command you need [22:27] ActionParsnip: Didn't think it would work but good to know. [22:27] minion35: the livecd is a swissarmyknife of awesome :) [22:27] if i choos forward ports thru a putty ssh connection, do i still need to forward the ports on the router as well? [22:28] itilious: yes [22:28] itilious: yes [22:28] dang [22:28] ActionParsnip: yeah its brilliant, saved my ass a bunch of times. [22:28] gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true [22:28] i ran the above [22:28] it it correct [22:28] gyu: ok, is the touchpad enabled? [22:28] it disappeared [22:28] so the traffic doesnt exactly all "go thru port 22" then for the other ports? [22:28] gyu: yes thats correct, nothing will appear [22:29] itilious: yes you should have too, I wouldnt forward all ports though ... just needed ones, 22, 80 etc. [22:29] ok [22:29] my touchpadenabled was alredy [22:29] itilious: ssh will go through port 22 TCP [22:29] my touchpad was already enabled [22:29] so what are my options to make my system more secure from bots scanning my system to bruteforce my passwords for admin accoutns? [22:29] it was jst that my mouse was freezing [22:29] so is it corrected [22:30] how do i manually check it whether its enabled or not [22:30] gyu: i see, hmm if you plug it out then in, does it work. You should then run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [22:30] itilious: use a strong passwording system, and only use port 22 for ssh traffic [22:30] so the router needs to forward port 5901 to do VNC over SSH? [22:31] router forward port 22 as well as 5901? [22:31] ok [22:31] itilious: yes you will also need to forward port 5900 [22:31] thanks nyways :) [22:31] ok folks, so anyone else receiving this message --> dpkg: error processing language-selector-common (--configure): [22:31] itilious: no, the router would forward just port 22 for VNC over SSH. [22:31] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [22:32] minion35: thats an idea, i give it a try, thanks [22:32] hi, what I must use to kernel hardering ? [22:32] just done an upgrade and this came out of nowhere... googled it and a few others are talking about it too, all posted TODAY [22:32] ayecee, now i'm confused, you saydont forward 5900 and minion35 says i need to forward it to server [22:32] is there a fix or reason for the error? [22:33] Pyhlock: it might be easier in python or perl than java ... hate threading in java .... [22:33] itilious: VNC is being forwarded over SSH, so the router doesn't even see it as VNC traffic. [22:33] can anyone see this? I haven't had replies in this chan for ages... [22:33] neurochrome: yes [22:33] well, that's a start [22:33] cheers [22:34] itilious: yeah sorry ayecee is right ... [22:34] ayecee, so if i'm in my remote terminal via ssh, and confirmed the vnc server is running I should be able to connect via "127.0.0.1:1" right? without 5901 forwardded too? [22:34] neurochrome: seriously cut down on the enter abuse [22:34] mickster04, not exactly a flood, but whatever [22:35] itilious: you would instruct ssh to forward the port rather than the router. [22:35] guys, anyone experienced th problem with latest update? some strange problem language-selector package. i pasted from terminal http://pastebin.com/g40hK86Y [22:35] itilious: but yes, that's about how you'd connect. [22:35] einseenai, yes me too [22:35] i was at home and connected via my public IP just fine via SSH/VNC, now i'm on an outside networking trying to do the same thing and VNC viewer doesnt want to connect anymore [22:35] gyu: does it behave like it moves for a second then stops and then starts again, like its not updating its movement enough? [22:35] neurochrome: it's helps us all if you keep it to one line? [22:35] neurochrome, did u solve it? [22:35] mickster04, yeah, no sweat, no need to get your knickers in a twist :) [22:36] it says connected, but the actual viewer never comes up,, vnc4viewer to be exact [22:36] einseenai, no just hit up irc now to see what the crack is... no others so far, but plenty on google... all today. so looks like an upgrade gone wrong [22:37] I maked the test and is to many things in kernel hardering to do, what can I use to sec ? === root____ is now known as l1t [22:37] How do you edit file associations in Ubuntu? I installed a new program, and it made one too many file association changes for me. [22:37] itilious: maybe choose a different encoding method in vncviewer. I think by default it uses a very bandwidth-intensive one if it thinks it's connecting to local host [22:37] einseenai, I guess there are some on here who have yet to upgrade today maybe? It's late, and given that there isn't a flurry of people with answers I'm gonna sleep on it, good luck getting some help! ;) [22:37] apparmor ? selinux ? grsecurity ? [22:38] neurochrome, i see... i tried sudo dpkg --configure -a, but it didn't help [22:38] neurochrome, ok. good night )) [22:38] einseenai, peace, I'll be back 2moro if there is no further fixes/updates rolled out [22:38] einsennai neurochrom: try remove the language-selector package from synaptic [22:39] fixu: That is a tough question, Have you looked at the Hardened package? [22:39] miniom35, thx a lot. i'll give a try now )) [22:39] ayecee, k gotta read up on a few things on how to do that and ill try and let ya know, i think that may be it [22:39] minion35, thx a lot. ) [22:40] einsennai: no problem :) [22:40] how do I make a link (not sure symbolic or not) of all the files in one directory in home to /var/www/ ? [22:40] can someone recommend me a webcam brand that just works with skype in ubuntu? [22:41] can i format my windwos patition from ubuntu? [22:41] yupp [22:41] zeina: logitech worked fine for me. [22:41] zeina: I picked a random cheap one off the shelf at walmart and it worked fine. Go for the cheaper ones, they're more likely to be supported. [22:41] What's the proper way of adding a fresh installed application on the patch so you can e.g. start it from Alt+F2, etc. ? [22:41] path* [22:41] !hardware | zeina [22:41] zeina: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:42] !webcam [22:42] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:42] zeina: most use standard drivers especially the budget ones. [22:42] KINGOFSWORDS: However if you intend to install windows again it sis often preferable to let windows do the formatting I'd say.. [22:42] minion35, no way to do this. it's offering to remove ubuntu-desktop, too =) [22:42] hiii [22:42] yeh my disc wont go into installer [22:43] this is my first time on freenode :) [22:43] Logitech 9000 works well [22:43] i have no luck with webcams. my logitech and cheap one nextech don't work.

[23:24] deadea> ЪиёЁųųйэÖÖìîŔŻŻŹŽŽššŠŞŞĽ×¹¹€¥ [23:24] lol, it's exercise #2, I barely have a clue what I'm doing [23:24] minion35: cool. i had nothing to benchmark it to so had no idea. would it get much of a speed up to copy straight from a shell or about the same as using nautilus? [23:25] cozgedal: its much the same speeds [23:25] minion35: madness. thanks [23:26] Who here has control of the bot that gives help? [23:26] i have dual boot..im am trying to install xp over windows 7 but it wont go into instller menu [23:27] hello [23:27] need help for booting ubuntu 10.10 [23:27] KINGOFSWORDS: not really a linux question.. i figure XP will just want the entire drive... [23:27] Kingofswords: you need to reinstall grub [23:27] anyone please ? [23:27] vilrockerdefer: ask your question [23:27] what is /usr/share/app-install? looks like a generic distfile repo, but i wonder if it's just for convenience [23:27] !anyone | vilrockerdefer [23:27] vilrockerdefer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:27] KM0201: it is [23:27] KM0201 sorry i have ubuntu installed 1st [23:28] arand: Do you know who can add something into the bot you just used? [23:28] I found a solution for a problem that I had the other night, and figured that it should be added since it's a simple workaround. [23:28] KINGOFSWORDS: but you said you couldn't get xp, to install over 7.. that has nothing to do w/ linux.. i don't care.. just saying [23:28] !ubottu | sly [23:28] sly: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [23:29] is there a package with the savage driver debugging symbols? [23:29] yeh i meant on a dual boot system..i think cuz i installed ubuntu 1st i have problems [23:29] I installed ubunti under xp through wubi and boot hangs... Before that I successfully booted using the live cd... it's on a dell latitude x300... voila [23:29] KINGOFSWORDS: read this it should help http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [23:29] it hangs in recovery mode too [23:29] sly: in private message "!foo is foo is bar etc." which will forward the suggestion to the operators. [23:29] Yeah. I'm reading what botcity sent right now. [23:29] Thanks. [23:30] thx minion [23:30] no error message only init: ureadahead...terminated with status 4 [23:30] vilrockerdefer: nuke wubi, and install ubuntu right === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP [23:31] km0201 then I need to nuke my xp partition ? because when I try to install after booting live cd it can't partition [23:31] what ubuntu version should i get for an intel i7 procesor 64 bit? [23:31] the amd64 image? [23:32] freaky[t], AMD64 if you want 64bit - i386 if you want 32 bit [23:32] vilrockerdefer: welcome to wubi.. when something goes wrong... its often spectacular.. you can't even boot windows? [23:32] vilrockerdefer: you only have one hard drive? And it's just a single partition? [23:32] yes I can [23:32] yes one hard drive one partition [23:32] ZykoticK9 ok i want 64 bit but why does it say AMD i have an intel i7 oO [23:32] vilrockerdefer: boot windows, uninstall wubi (from control panel).. then partition your drive and install ubuntu right. [23:32] freaky[t], Intel's 64bit is actually using AMD64 (it's technical name) [23:33] ok [23:33] thank you [23:33] vilrockerdefer: I would uninstall wubi, defrag your disk from 'safe mode' twice for good measure, then boot normal and try wubi again. If that fails you should consider resizing or replacing your disk to do a proper install. [23:33] ok thanks... any idea what software to repartition under xp ? [23:33] vilrockerdefer you can use gparted or disk management (in windows) [23:34] of thanks [23:34] Why does Ubuntu setup say "ready when you are"? [23:35] LetsGo67, it's waiting for the user to finish inputting information (clicking a button usually) [23:35] ZykoticK9: Does it have anything to do with caps in the username? [23:36] LetsGo67, i think usernames must be lowercase only [23:36] ZykoticK9: In all Unix systems»? [23:36] does ubuntu check drives formatted in ext2 on login by default? [23:36] LetsGo67, probably... [23:36] ext2? Ol' skool! [23:37] What is a good substitute of katapult for kubuntu 10.10? [23:37] its ab sd card. i was told it was best to put t in ext2 [23:37] Isn't Ubuntu a professional product? [23:37] UbuntuN00b, ext2 is good for SD cards, what do you mean by "check drives... by default" [23:38] hi everyone. How can i reconfigure/recalibrate my Game Controllers buttons? [23:38] on boot up just before login ubuntu checks my disks every boot up [23:38] I think he means mount [23:38] r4ykid, jscal from the joystick packages is a cli configuration [23:38] Do you have the drivers installed r4ykid? [23:38] was wondering if its because of the sd card [23:38] FreezingCold, yes. But not all buttons work. [23:38] r4ykid, sorry i don't think jscal will do anything for buttons, only calibrates axies [23:39] Why does Ubuntu show only text on the usplash screen? [23:39] how can i get progress meter on curlftpfs? [23:39] ZykoticK9, i tried to use that btw. I had no luck finding out how the device is called. [23:39] r4ykid, "should" be /dev/input/js0 [23:40] ZykoticK9, thank you, maybe that will be of some use [23:40] r4ykid, you can "cat /dev/input/js0" and use the joystick to test === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [23:41] ZykoticK9, shows wierd signs, turns out it IS the device the js is on. thanks [23:41] r4ykid, glad to help [23:41] but i still cant use every button, nor axis [23:41] Hey [23:41] Anyone want to talk to me on skype? =P [23:41] Thank you good night. [23:41] r4ykid, ? i've never had a joystick that didn't work OOTB. Good luck man. [23:42] ZykoticK9, yeah :/ its the dualshock 3, i think its because the buttons are pressure sensitive [23:42] r4ykid, i had a ds3 work for me? using usb. [23:43] FreezingCold is getting frisky .... [23:43] hey so i downloaded kernel "linux-2.6.38.3" and i want to updrade the kernel to it. any idea how? [23:43] ZykoticK9, im using usb too. Could it be the game? whats the best way to test? [23:43] upgrade* [23:43] minion35: Naaaaaaa [23:43] i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5 [23:44] r4ykid, use the cat command and see if all buttons / axis give output to the screen [23:44] FreezingCold: Sorry thats what it sounded like :P [23:44] has anyone known a simple chronometer app with play and stop GUI ?? [23:44] I actually got a new mic and I want to test it out [23:44] ZykoticK9, thanks again^^ [23:44] how do you use applications in the terminal? sorry, new to command-line interface [23:45] r4ykid, glad to help :) [23:45] Myrtle_T_Turtle1: just depends on the app.. some apps, you can start them by typing their name in the terminal... others, run completely in terminal [23:45] i downloaded the newest kernel to ubuntu how do i install it [23:45] !kernel | ayrton [23:45] ayrton: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [23:46] i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5. what gives? [23:46] ewwwww manual compilation *has bad nightmare from a few years ago* [23:47] KM0201, so if I type in the app's file name into the terminal, it will then run in the terminal? [23:47] ZykoticK9, they all seem to work so its definitely a game problem. Maybe the google can help here^^ [23:47] Anybody know of any bash scripts for mplayer for riping dvds to .avi? [23:47] i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5 [23:47] r4ykid, it isn't dosbox is it? [23:47] or any other software that is Command-ine driven for ripping dvd's to avi [23:48] Myrtle_T_Turtle1: "most of the time".. sometimes an app has a different command to start it, than the actual name of the program [23:48] sl33k_: maybe it's not at that location === user__ is now known as mrdeb [23:48] hi everyone, i need some help here, i was wondering if it was possible to recover files from a formatted hard drive (disk has been formatted and OS reinstalled) is it? what if it was formatted (and reinstalled) twice? there is any tool available to do so? [23:48] powpow, be sure to search for mencoder and not mplayer [23:49] wutzis: it might not be possible after two formats. [23:49] KM0201, alright, thanks for the info ;-) [23:49] Myrtle_T_Turtle1: just as an example, if you still have empathy instant messenger installed (and its not running) open a terminal and type "empathy" no quotes, and hit enter... and empathy will start [23:49] minion35: do you have any experience with windows? [23:50] Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu onto a hard drive of a couple year old laptop of mine, Inspiron 1300, and up in the Wireless Networks bar thing, and it says Device not ready (firmware missing) [23:50] wutzis: yes have to use it every day on customers computers :@ [23:50] minion35: you think it wouldnt be possible there either? [23:50] all the online resources i've read to correct this problem yields the instructions telling me to imput code [23:50] but I don't know how to really do that [23:50] KM0201: could you also use Alt+F2 and check the "run in terminal" box? [23:50] wutzis: I highly doubt it. The information wouldnt be readable after two wipes and reinstalls [23:51] if im going to install ubuntu, can i also use the 2nd partition for ubuntu because my first partition, win7 is a bit small and i would like to use the 2nd partition? [23:51] is there any simpler steps I could take? [23:51] Myrtle_T_Turtle1: of course [23:51] freaky[t]: what do you mean?.. you can pu tubuntu on any partition you like. [23:51] is a dedicated video card better for ubutnu and why [23:51] KM0201: alright, I'll try it out. thanks a bunch [23:51] KM0201 ok thanks :D [23:51] freaky[t], of course, installation will give options for partitioning and waht partition(s) to create/use [23:51] ZykoticK9, no it is not Dosbox. Its aquaria ^^ [23:52] ZykoticK9 ok does it also have resize options? [23:52] Snappleseed: using the terminal Applications > Accessories> Terminal input the firmware installation code. Also try keep problems on one line. [23:52] minion35: basically im going to sell an used pc of mines, but there i stored some very personal/sensitive/important/omgdontleak informations, is there any hint that you could give me to make them harder to recover? (i ve no idea of the buyer's skills so lets assume he is "good") [23:52] intel integraded chipset drivers are built into the kernel right? [23:52] r4ykid, k - just asking. Dosbox was very limited re-joystick buttons for me [23:52] freaky[t], yup [23:52] ZykoticK9 ok great :D [23:52] !infdo shred | wutzis [23:52] !info shred | wutzis [23:52] wutzis: Package shred does not exist in maverick [23:52] wutzis: mash up the harddrive? [23:52] lol [23:52] * genii-around grumbles [23:53] minion35: sorry my english is awful, what would mash up be? [23:53] wutzis: I'm serious replace the drive with a new one, and keep your old one ... alot safer then giving out sensitive information. [23:53] wutzis: man shred [23:54] ZykoticK9, final question. Do you know by any chance if it is possible with Joy2Key or some other tool to remap a stick to the mouse? [23:54] wutzis: "wipe" was the thing i was looking for [23:54] minion35: i know you're serious i just wasnt able to translate mash up, mmmm may consider that, if it wasnt possible would there be any other way? (its still under warranty) [23:54] < looking for somekind of terminal script to rip dvd's to avi doesnt matter on what cl driven app [23:54] genii-around: i may wipe actual files, but ones i had prior to last format wouldnt be wiped i was looking for a solution for those [23:54] !info wipe [23:54] wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.21-9 (maverick), package size 42 kB, installed size 136 kB [23:54] r4ykid, i've only played with joy2key for a few minutes, didn't help in my case so i dropped it. So i really don't know. I've never had to remap buttons sorry (at least not outside of a game). Good luck man. [23:55] genii-around: some information could still be recovered. Id recommend replacing the drive. Or use the wipe package. [23:55] wutzis: Boot to livecd and do something like dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda about 8 times [23:56] genii-around: what is the difference from shed to wipe [23:56] shred [23:56] mrdeb: Not sure.\ [23:56] ZykoticK9, hm ok, thank you for the help. Maybe i can find something on the internet that helps me. Else i have to play aquaria with mouse i guess. Was just testing stuff anyways :D [23:57] mrdeb: shred scatters and deletes. wipe permanently deletes, i think [23:57] what do you mean permanently [23:57] synaptic does not have the kernel i want to upgrade to so how do i install it manually [23:57] i have a new 3tb disk that i'm trying to partition but ubuntu 10.04 only sees 2199gb, how do i fix this? [23:58] plut0: thats normal [23:58] mrdeb: as in wipes from the disk space [23:58] minion35: which is more effective [23:58] minion35: ok so how do i see the whole disk? [23:59] pluto: that is the whole disk [23:59] minion35: eh? [23:59] anyone in here good with programming logic, specifically basic pseudo code, arrays and for loops? [23:59] mrdeb: id wipe if i were doing it myself. or just replace the drive and keep the old one save
