[00:00] plut0: thats the full size [00:00] KXTwo: whats the logic problem? [00:00] minion35: i haven't even partitioned it yet [00:00] KXTwo: if it isn't too advanced I can give it a shot [00:00] its FAIRLY simple cybrhuman I should knwo how to do it but im drawing a blank [00:01] KXTwo: then I will try :) [00:01] So who's put ubuntu on their HTC? Direction? [00:01] I have an 9 element array that keeps the score of 9 holes of golf [00:01] plut0: I know but its the same with every drive. [00:01] I just need to know how to add the scores together [00:01] for loop is my instinct [00:01] KXTwo: yup [00:01] for x 0 to 8 [00:02] ephedrandrox, xda fora? [00:02] minion35: http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x [00:02] from i =0 to i < 9 I would say [00:02] Well I got it rooted off thief [00:02] thats about as far as I got lol [00:02] Their [00:02] KXTwo: which language? [00:03] next line maybe: totalScore = scoreArray[x] + scoreArray[x+1} [00:03] then x = 2 maybe [00:03] its just logic [00:03] no lagunage [00:04] no that wont work [00:04] because total score will continue to be overwritten [00:04] oh I got it [00:04] += [00:04] totalScore = scoreArrray[x] [00:04] KXTwo: totalscore = totalscore + scorearray[x] [00:05] yep thats where I was thinking [00:05] total+=golf[x] [00:05] before the foreloop [00:05] total = 0 [00:05] or in declaratons declare totalscore = 0 [00:05] then for x 0 to 9 [00:05] totalscore = totalscore = scorearray[x] [00:06] brightspark, thank you [00:06] Hi. I'm trying to set up a VPN server on Ubuntu. What's it called when you have a gateway that you connect to from public wifi to secure your data before sending to the general web? Is that a VPN Gateway? [00:06] too bad there wasnt a programming logic channel lol [00:06] declare it and initialize it to zero and add it up like that, assuming the second = should be + :) [00:06] KXTwo: no prob [00:06] KXTwo: np :) [00:07] thanks to everyone sorry [00:07] hey when im finished would anyone mind reading my finished product and tell me what you think? [00:08] hey, anyone have recomendation on music players other than rythembox? [00:08] KXTwo: if I am awake :) (I won't answer if I am not) [00:08] multipass: mpd if you don't mind configuring, then with sonata as a gui frontend or ncmpcpp if you like cli [00:08] yeah, ncmpcpp is the best [00:09] mpc is good too for quick access to mpd [00:09] cybrhuman, im almost done [00:09] its just an edit I wanted to try myself for an old project [00:09] multipass: Amarok is usable again :) if you don't mind the qt loading [00:09] does it require a crazy ammount of dependencies if im using ubuntu? [00:10] multipass: nope, iirc [00:10] multipass: amarok, kde-stuff at least [00:10] why doesn't tcpdump run as nobody ;( it just runs as root! [00:10] you have to specify it with the -Z on 10.10 [00:11] my rythembox is using 350mb of ram which seems alot for a music player [00:11] red hat was clever here and made a tcpdump user just for the purpose [00:12] multipass: amarok requires a huge load of deps... about 255 MB to get it in on my system ... [00:13] cybrhuman, 17.5MB to download, 59.1MB when installed [00:13] maybe i have some of the kde stuff actually [00:13] multipass: you got KDE already? [00:13] well i did try out Kate editor [00:13] which is KDE [00:13] oh, yes [00:13] hey, how do you downlload just the package with apt-get, without installing it I tried the -d option, but it said that was an invalid option [00:14] is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb [00:14] I also tried foobnix and deadbeef, they were decent.. [00:14] multipass, mpd has ~16 dependencies [00:14] plut0: try calculating between KiB and KB and you'll see that that might be all the disk you have [00:15] including sqlite and avahi [00:15] cybrhuman: disk size should say 3000gb not 2199gb [00:15] cybrhuman: i haven't partitioned it yet [00:15] ANY program using 350 mbs of memory is ridiculous [00:15] unless it's some kind of science program [00:16] or media editing [00:16] Nisstyre: well thats media players in linux :( [00:16] minion35, nope [00:16] use mpd + ncmpcpp [00:16] if i'm using tightvncserver how can i know which port its running thru? [00:16] so that i can tunnel the port in putty [00:16] im trying ncmcpp atm [00:16] whats mpd? [00:16] multipass, ncmpcpp is useless without mpd [00:17] ncmpcpp is just a client to mpd (Music Player Daemon) [00:17] o ok [00:17] it works like a server/client architecture. Similar to Xorg. [00:17] so you can control your music remotely, and from multiple clients [00:17] no ubuntu package for MPD? [00:18] there should be one [00:18] background music for everyone's tech support: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtPk5IUbdH0 [00:18] is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb === INeedHelp is now known as ineedafreenick [00:21] plut0: how much do you expect to see? you do know that HDD manufacturers use KB=1000 bytes and most others count KB = 1024 bytes? [00:22] cybrhuman, you still wouldn't expect close to 1/3 of the drive to be missing... [00:22] cybrhuman: i think you're thinking of formatted size, the disk size should still state 3000tb [00:22] er 3000gb [00:22] Hello [00:23] #lubuntu [00:23] Hello? I can't see any chat [00:23] i'm booting ubuntu with a non-ubuntu kernel and i get a SEGV for plymouth on every boot. Boot seems to have succeeded though. ANy idea what's happening? [00:23] Nvm. [00:24] Torne: drm/kms support in that kernel? [00:24] ncmpc++ have a high learning curve? [00:24] ohsix: not sure [00:24] I can't take ownership of a root owned file; even though chown -v tells me I have [00:24] ohsix: it should only be the text plymouth though i think.. i have a base install only [00:24] ohsix: only ubuntu-standard [00:25] Can anyone help me with taking ownership of a directory? [00:25] ohsix: it does have drm, going by dmesg [00:26] Torne: dunno brah, that was my short checklist of kernel things with plymouth [00:26] ohsix: it doesn't have initrd/initramfs, though, which may be relevant to plymouth [00:26] CannotTakeOwners: whats the problem? [00:26] I am booting directly to the ubuntu rootfs [00:26] Torne: relevant to a lot of things agh [00:26] create one [00:26] ohsix: kernel doesn't support it [00:26] update-initramfs -k -c [00:26] well fix that [00:27] this is a cr48 with the stock EFI bios [00:27] there's no way to load an initrd/initramfs image [00:27] because, yaknow, no real bootloader. [00:27] I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. My micro is not working when i speak in skype. Can someone help, please ? [00:27] i could build a kernel with initramfs embedded but that's a lot of effort given that it seems to work as it is, despite the weird crash [00:27] is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb [00:27] delkin: what microphone is it? [00:27] if you can load a linux image you can load a grub image [00:28] ohsix: Not true [00:28] minion35, i dont know [00:28] There seems to be more questiosn than answers on here... Can anyone help me take ownership of a directory, I have a very odd bug [00:28] CannotTakeOwners: what bug? [00:28] ohsix: the boot stub only has a partial implementation of EFI, it doesn't pass the required hardware descriptoins to make egrub work [00:28] minion35, how can i know? [00:28] ohsix: or to boot an unpatched linux kernel. [00:28] ohsix, I go chown excels -v /media/filename [00:28] ohsix: it can only boot chromeos's patched kernel ;) [00:29] Noob question: I'm downloading the Ubuntu-restricted-extras, it popped up a End-User License Agreement, and there is an "" at the bottom but I can't figure out how to continue with the installation. Help? [00:29] then I go ls -ld [00:29] And it says its owned by root [00:29] CannotTakeOwners: is /filename ntfs? [00:29] ohsix, its on virtualbox [00:29] trihope: hit tab [00:29] delkin: 10.10 apparently works with the mic [00:29] ohsix: thanks [00:29] CannotTakeOwners: nonnative filesystems don't often support posix permissions [00:29] So... I don't know if its NTFS [00:30] trihope: depemding on your terminal emulator you can also click with the mouse :] [00:30] um... so what am I supposed to do, ohsix [00:30] how u change your nick [00:30] ? [00:31] hi [00:31] codex, use /nick newnick [00:31] delkin: check whether input devices are muted [00:31] oh register a new nick [00:31] I sshed into the server added my user to sudoer then did a reboot... but it didnt restart [00:31] maybe that user doesnt have permission to reboot? [00:31] or should i add nopasswd option? [00:31] 1m left of connection :P [00:32] brightspark, in Soud Prefferences the check box for mute is not checked.

[00:40] themoebius: that usually happens when somethiing is stuck in a syscall; which is bad news [00:40] brightspark, nothing seems to be working [00:40] :( [00:40] ohsix: I think something is broken with my OS, it just told me I'm very rich [00:40] Because my hd is 128 tb [00:40] ohsix: I'm trying to unmount a file system because I suspect it has problems. But I can't unmount it because some phantom processes have open files for the past week [00:41] hi [00:41] Perhaps its because of virtualbox's dynamically expanding storage thingy [00:41] ohsix: you're probably right about it being stuck in syscall.

[00:46] @ohsix: no offence, but are you sure? I set up a vpn server on my Mac for this purpose, and it only allowed access to the remote network, not the www. [00:46] There must be something else. [00:47] 2nd question: I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. How do I change the brightness? How do i bind it to keys? [00:48] Could anyone tell me where the Network Manager config files are?

For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [00:53] histo: /help has lots of commands.. I was just trying to figure out how to save a configuration with nick/password and open channels so the next time I start it up I don't have to manually enter anything. === markin is now known as deko [01:00] izinucs: you add channels so they autojoin. Try /help channel [01:00] izinucs: i've got mine set to identify with nickserv and join the channels I frequent. [01:01] izinucs, i'll help but I just came in and if I can help with your client. -- I'm like histo [01:02] izinucs: trying to remember where I added nick password in irssi [01:02] izinucs, What program are you using to connect to irc???

Can someone tell me what would be required to set up a server that receives data over a secure tunnel (VPN) from devices attached through Public Wifi, and channels internet data on their behalf? [01:04] Question after switching from Windows to Linux. I understand Linux is safer. Do I or do I not need an anti virus ? A firewall ? Does one scan for viruses ever ? [01:04] any way to disable the underlined letters in Skypes menu? (when you right click the tray icon) [01:05] nmaxchat: In practice, linux is as safe, or safer, without a AV; than windows is with one. You may want to use one if you share files with unprotected windows machines though. [01:05] nmaxchat: nope.. not really unless you need to make changes.. yes to help keep our friendly window users safe.. but I don't :) [01:07] *desktop linux, rather, I guess [01:07] arand, izinucs So when a bank says all their thing about having a firewall and an AV, what do I answer ? [01:07] hello [01:08] dj, hi === dj is now known as Guest86512 [01:08] mmaxchat: many banks will NOT cover you for internet fraud if you use internet banking but don't meet their security requirements, eg. supported browser and platform. Confirm with each bank before considering yourself covered. [01:08] i have install ubunto via virtualbox and i wont to use my wirless card as a wirless card onm ubunto [01:08] it is possible? [01:09] mmaxchat: many do not cover linux users AT ALL, so dont be surprised. [01:09] Guest86512: Possibly. Knowing what card it is would help. [01:09] sirgad, good advice thanks [01:09] intell 5100 [01:09] nmaxchat: Whereas again, some banks advice you to run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely. [01:09] on lap top [01:09] Guest86512: if ubuntu is in virtualbox it doesn't need to know about the network card at all. Virtualbox will bridge it for you to a fake network card [01:10] so ubuntu will think it's connected via a wired connection to the host computer [01:10] @arand: not the ones I banked with, unfortunately. :/ [01:10] Guest86512, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&lang=eng perhaps [01:10] arand, " run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely" meaning ? [01:10] now which version of xchat are you using? [01:10] I'm adding an hp printer and it gives me two options under model- hpijs and hpcups. Does anyone know the difference between hpijs and hpcups? [01:10] nmaxchat: Boot temporarily from a clean LiveCD/USB to do your banking. [01:11] Polah, I guess I''l just ask my bank ehat they want so I am covered [01:11] nmaxchat: Doing banking from a liveCD ensures that you always have a clean environment to start out with, regardless of what may be on your harddisk. [01:11] ok i will try to download the fw [01:11] arand, Thanks [01:11] I've been receiving "dpkg: error processing language-selector-comm" with every install from Ubuntu Software Center. Any hints? [01:12] @nmaxchat: trying looking at UCK to modify your LiveCD and tailor it more to your needs. === themoebius_ is now known as themoebius [01:12] sirgad, will do Merci beaucoup [01:13] lol de rien [01:13] hmm [01:14] anyone recommend a Windows Server IRC channel?

[01:14] sirgad: they've all migrated to linux [01:14] lol [01:14] but seriously [01:14] sirgad: I say: when in Rome... [01:15] sirgad: you could ask in ##windows [01:15] will do, ta :) [01:16] That will probably point you to ##windows-server [01:16] I want to put in a simple keyboard macro... I notice that xbindkeys seems to do this (but isn't installed) is there a standard way to do this (i.e. some else that is installed) [01:16] i asked in windows-sever, bit elitist and didn't like me using 2000/2003. gave me short shrift :/ [01:16] It's.. 7 years old.. [01:16] yeah but i can geta free license legit [01:17] but still being used a lot [01:17] That's like asking for help with Ubuntu.. before it had names... [01:17] sirgad: are you learning it or using it for work or...? [01:18] Hello everyone, here on my win 7 computer while I try to get my wireless adapter to work on my newly installed ubuntu. Apparently I'm using a broadcom chip, BCM4318 with a PCI-ID 14e4:4319, and I've got the b43-fwcutter tool for use on extraction of driver codes from windows XP drivers. But I don't know where to go from here, how to use it on the drivers, or where to find them for my chip. [01:18] i'm just trying to set up a home server to as a secure proxy. [01:18] why does ubuntu suck ? [01:18] sirgad: It's off topic to your decision.. but this channel would probably gladly teach you how to do that in Linux ^_^ [01:18] sirgad: use linux [01:18] Khisanth: So I was wrong... SSH didn't suddenly start working yesterday.. I can now ssh into my router when I connect to my domain name. :/ [01:19] !proxy | sirgad [01:19] sirgad: Several Ubuntu channels prohibit access from open proxies and other anonymous connections due to a high level of abuse. The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak [01:19] I have tried to follow the instructions on this page, and even read the FAQ, but it is too advanced for me mostly. [01:19] users/ [01:19] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#FAQ_-_Frequently_asked_questions [01:19] When I turned off SSH management on the router, it suddenly stopped letting me connect. [01:19] @ Snappleseed: it's actually to act as a sevrer to secure connections to the web from public wifi [01:19] cryptopsy: To answer your question.. they suck because.. ... ... They are straying too far ahead of certain standards which makes them a little harder to work with for certain older apps? [01:20] mmhmh [01:20] sirgad: so how would i get my wireless adapter that's built into the laptop to work on ubuntu [01:20] sirgad: I think I do that quite often.. I just use an SSH tunnel ^_^ [01:21] Snappleseed: Please be more specific like what is your built in wifi? [01:21] hey guys, i've been using ubuntu for about a week now after reinstalling, and I just can't get the game Global Agenda to run... would anyone be able to help me out? [01:21] it's called a Dell WLAN 1370 Mini-PCI, for a Dell Inspiron 1300. [01:21] Khisanth: huh. Nevermind. [01:21] I can connect to a remote computer using ssh. I would like to enable a remote desktop environment, how do I do that? Currently, when connecting using "remote desktop viewer", I only see a shell, no GUI [01:21] sorry snapple, i replied to the wrong person :) [01:22] Snappleseed: in terminal type .. sudo lspci .. and the output will typically have info on your wireless card.. it won't say dell however [01:22] @Diamondcite: SSH tunnels can't be used in this fashio from an iPhone, though. [01:23] sirgad: I see that can be an issue.. I have a netbook + 3G usb stick, no iphone =P [01:24] izinucs: I it says for Nework Controller: Broadcom Corp. BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [01:24] trihope: test [01:24] Snappleseed: Do you see anywhere on the top that says additional drivers? It should be offering to 'Activate' a broadcom-sta driver... [01:25] hey guys [01:25] All I'm trying to do is: iPhone > Public WiFi > VPN > Home server > Interwebz. How do I do that? [01:25] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [01:25] none 7.9G 7.4G 473M 95% /dev [01:25] No Diamondcite, I don't see anything like that. [01:25] tho I can't find anything big in /dev, what's the matter ? [01:25] Snappleseed: follow Diamondcite advice.. he's more conversant in wireless then me [01:25] Snappleseed: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers ?? [01:26] Snappleseed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing b43 drivers [01:26] izinucs: Unfortunately I don't have a dell, this is just leftover knowledge =P [01:27] Download package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available. then the window says No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system [01:27] Diamondcite: he listed the card to me in a line above.. it's not made by dell. BCM4318 [01:27] someone can help me please ? [01:27] Snappleseed: Can you temporarily hook up to a wired connection? [01:28] I can't, actually. I only have wireless taken from the library next door. [01:28] izinucs: I only have Ath5k and Ath9k chips.. [01:28] I've been out of money for a fair bit now. [01:28] i fixed my 3tb drive issue, i needed a firmware update [01:28] plut0: for the controller? [01:28] Hrm... [01:28] Diamondcite: and I'm brain dead when it comes to wireless that "just doesn't work".. [01:28] Snappleseed: So how are you ONLINE right now? [01:29] ohsix: actually it was a usb enclosure [01:29] ah, nice [01:29] Alright, I've got 10.10, using Fluxbox, and I keep having to unlock the keyring [01:29] So how, other than hooking up to the internet, can I obtain the relevant firmware? Diamondcite: I'm online on my Windows 7 HP, on a seperate computer. [01:29] lucky me :) [01:29] Snappleseed: get the debs you think you'll need then venture over to the dark side [01:29] debs? [01:30] Is the laptop in question and the connected one too different systems? Consider using a crossover network cable to share the connection? [01:30] what dark side? [01:30] It is most annoying when I click on the auto-remember on login option and it is ignored [01:30] Snappleseed: Okay I need more info.. 64 or 32bit for the ubuntu? Also which version? [01:30] I'm not sure exactly how that would work, i've never done it before. An ethernet cable will do? [01:30] Snappleseed: packages.ubuntu.com have all the programs in the repos.. you just need to know what package(s) you need, download to a usb stick and move it to the ubuntu computer [01:30] 32bit ubuntu, 10.10 i think? [01:31] I'm not sure how to figure out what package I would need. [01:31] Snappleseed: the broadcom help page tells you how to install with no internet access [01:31] Snappleseed: Download this package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common [01:32] I guess no one is going to help me [01:32] Fail [01:32] cok [01:32] blender.org :/ [01:33] j_dulaney: Annoying is a less important problem at the moment.. and the type of login isn't specified. [01:33] j_dulaney: do your keyring password and login password match? and are you logging in by *actually typing your password* or autologin? [01:33] hi evry1! [01:33] i have question about 10.04 server. What kind of web GUI do you prefer? (now i use ispconfig for web server ) but i think it's too simple. [01:33] test [01:33] maco: Yes, and type in my password [01:34] hello world :O [01:34] kuromaru: could you please skip to the part where you ask a tech support question? === Jon__ is now known as Jonii2 [01:34] Guest18105: "web gui" and server ... hummm.. most linux servers don't have a gui.. and which type of server? web, print, ftp etc?? [01:34] Guest18105: might try #ubuntu-server === lance_ is now known as Guest79250 [01:35] MaRK-i: thx i'll try [01:35] Guest18105: yw [01:35] maco: What is the name of the keyring software, and where does it keep its options file? [01:36] j_dulaney: seahorse [01:36] hi. i've got a problem updating/installing language-selector-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [01:36] where can i see the output of that script? [01:36] Diamondcite: that website doesn't follow what I usually do to download files. How exactly would I download that using windows? [01:36] j_dulaney: i dont know where its config is. i'd guess gconf [01:36] i.e. how can i debug the issue? [01:36] maco: Righteo, thanks [01:36] Snappleseed: right mouse click save as.. probably [01:36] iziuncs WEB gui. for faster work. U don't nead ssh or anything else just a browser [01:37] Guest18105: to control what kind of server? apache? [01:37] So, one day, without me changing anything, grubs Timer to auto boot linux disappeared. Now i can't boot linux, it sends me straight to busybox after giving me this error: "mount: mounting /proc on /root/pro failed: No such file or directory." Some other errors follow, but they look like they are based on this first one. [01:37] any ideas? [01:37] also, using the ethernet as a common connection between computers doesn't seem to be working, Auto eth0 is the network that comes up, but it keeps failing to connect. [01:37] iziuncs: yes for apache [01:37] StuckMojo: a bug was filed and a fix has been committed IIRC [01:37] Snappleseed: you may need too make a crossover cable [01:38] I need to install juniper network "ncsvc" program from a package called ncui, but I don't know where to find it [01:38] brightspark: yeah i expected that, but I'm curious how to see the output [01:38] Snappleseed: Here are links and 2 dependencies, I REALLY hope you have the rest. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/broadcom-sta-common/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/module-assistant/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/quilt/download [01:38] brightspark: besides digging around and running it by hand...isn't it logged somewhere? [01:38] brightspark: this is more of a general question now about how dpkg works [01:38] Guest18105: http://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/apache-gui-ubuntu [01:38] Jonii2: Did you add/remove any physical drives? [01:39] thx i whatc theme [01:39] StuckMojo: then your guess is as good as mine [01:39] brightspark: ;) [01:39] maco: I'm getting all sorts of 'Error creating directory, permission denied' errors, so I'm going to try to find where it's trying to create a directory [01:39] Does anyone know how to change the behavior of empathy so that it doesn't snap the cursor to the window when I receive a message? [01:39] Diamondcite: No, that was my first reaction, but we haven't changed anything hardware wise, except i plugged in and xbox controller. Problem occurs with the controller in our out [01:39] !ping FloodBot1 [01:39] brightspark: i remember i figured it out once way back when on debian sid, but i've long since forgotton [01:40] gartral_: just about anything made in the last 10 years is auto switching [01:40] ohsix: you'ed be surprised. [01:41] i probably would [01:41] i have 3 gigabyte boards, each has 2 nic ports, all of them are non-auto switching. [01:41] Is there substitute for poulsbo? It doesn't seem to let me play video off of the HDD. [01:41] they were bought last year [01:41] Jonii2: Maybe you can boot a livecd/usb and see if any new /dev/sd* devices showed up? [01:42] Jonii2: Another thing the liveCD offers the the ability to boot from the first drive.. assuming that can get past grub on the HD.. [01:42] Diamondcite: how would i know if they are new? I have windows on here, but I don't remember what /dev/sd was on there before [01:42] Diamondcite: i can get past grub, its just ubuntu that won't work [01:42] Jonii2: How many physical drives do you have? [01:43] Jonii2: If it's busy box, then it's not past grub yet.. [01:43] Jonii2: and have you resized any partitions recently? [01:43] Diamondcite: 1 hard drive 1(maybe 2?) CD drives, 1 floppy [01:43] but i don't know if the floppy is in [01:43] Diamondcite: if it's busybox it's still running the initramfs, but grub is done already [01:43] i haven't resized any partitions [01:43] so i have a question about elevated privileges from update manager: if the icon does not turn off in panel, the elevation is still present right? [01:43] yeah i get (initramfs) [01:43] and i can type stuff it [01:43] and grub boots to windows just fine [01:44] Jonii2: sounds likr your drive that has Ubuntu on it is hosed. [01:44] gartral_: its the same drive that windows is on, just a different partition [01:44] Jonii2: Did you do a kernel update recently? [01:44] witeshark: you mean the key? it just means while its there additional prompts will automatically succeed [01:44] Diamondcite: okay, downloaded and installed the driver, thanks a lot. now to just see if it works, should I re-boot or something? [01:45] witeshark: which is usually desirable, but the icon is in the tray so you can click it and lock it up tight again immediately [01:45] Snappleseed: it's recommended to reboot yes. [01:45] Diamondcite: not that i know of, but maybe, i tried booting the old kernel with the grub menu though, it did the same thing [01:45] ohsix, okay thanks [01:46] Jonii2: If you can ever get it to boot fully. I might suggest re-installing one of the kernels? It feels like grub was interrupted.. [01:46] Diamondcite: I can get it to boot fully only into windows [01:46] or the initramfs id damaged [01:46] does that count? [01:46] Jonii2: how big is your /boot partition? or is it part of/ [01:47] all of ubuntu is on one partition, home, boot, and / [01:47] Jonii2: Not really.. but I don't have enough time to go into great detail at the moment.. [01:47] Diamondcite: ok [01:47] Ok, I'm thinking that part of the problem is that the coffee shop I'm at is constantly changing the wireless security code. [01:49] Diamondcite: so in other words my computer is dead and i get to reinstall everything again? [01:50] i am new to xubuntu [01:50] Jonii2: Assuming you didn't get hurt by extremely room shortage.. a liveCD/USB can rescue any ubuntu system with the use of a 'chroot'. But I don't have time for this. [01:50] Diamondcite: [01:50] Diamondcite: ok i'll try that [01:50] how do i enable partner repository [01:51] Jonii2: The basic idea is to chroot into the HDD and re-install a kernel to trigger grub again to see what happens [01:51] Diamondcite: everything is working now. Thank you very much! [01:51] Snappleseed: Great to hear it ^_^ [01:51] I've got to head off to bed now, thanks again. See you. [01:52] how to sync two ftp severs? [01:53] how do i add sun-java to the repositories [01:53] bonny: it's in the partner repo.. just enable that [01:53] Jonii2: You should be able to get to the grub menu by holding shift during boot. [01:53] cryptopsy: You could rsync [01:54] Jordan_U: I can get the grub menu, thats not an issue [01:54] I am looking for a way to get a key (e.g. shift F1) to type out a sequence of characters (e.g. "This is some text") can this be done? [01:55] ohzie: no you can't [01:55] Jonii2: Ahh, I misunderstood your initial comment in the channel. Just so you know, the automatic timeout was disabled *because* it was detected that Ubuntu wasn't booting successfully. [01:55] rsync is its own protocol [01:55] ohzie: you don't know what you're talking about [01:55] Jonii2: Have you tried booting an older kernel? [01:55] Jordan_U: ahh ok that makes more sense, but i'm still stuck :P [01:56] Jordan_U: yep, same thing [01:56] fail at (initramfs) [01:56] cryptopsy: I use rsync to sync my ftp servers. :| [01:56] cryptopsy: I don't use the FTP protocol to do it [01:56] cryptopsy: you can install rsync on an ftp server and it still works [01:56] that's because rsync is running on both servers [01:57] cryptopsy: Right [01:57] exactly, now put 2 and 2 together [01:57] cryptopsy: I don't understand why you can't sync your servers with rsync [01:58] Jonii2: What is the output of "cat /proc/partitions" from the initramfs shell? [01:58] cryptopsy: I feel like you possibly misunderstood my suggestion. [01:58] because not all ftp servers are running rsync daemon, ssh daemon [01:58] no i didn't misunderstand, you're the one who's jumping to the nearest possible assumption because you don't know how to do it any other way [01:58] Jordan_U: I'll be back in 5 minutes with an answer :) [01:59] cryptopsy: I was offering assistance. If my suggestion doesn't work for you, I'm sorry. Don't try to invalidate my help just because it doesn't apply to you.

Basically I'm wondering if your root filesystem's partition is being detected at all. The next step would be to try to mount it from the initramfs shell. [02:05] aaron_wayne: has to do with the servers you're connected to.. why frostwire? you have a torrent app built in that's pretty good [02:05] sda [02:05] oops [02:05] anybody can helpme?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [02:06] izinucs, not very familiar with it, do u recommend what comes installed or is there a better one out there?

[02:56] rumpe1, unable to open [02:57] I also used document viewer. same result [02:57] ksbalaji, well... there could be a number of reasons for "unable to open"... e.g. permissions [02:57] ksbalaji: what was the doc made with? [02:58] rumpe1, This file, I think is made with page maker? [02:59] ksbalaji, don't know pagemaker, but again: sure, it's a textfile? [02:59] izinucs, The sender told it should be pagemaker. [02:59] ksbalaji: if it's made with page maker then it's not a text file.. perhaps scribus or inkscape can import it. [02:59] rumpe1, The sender told it contains document. [03:00] ksbalaji, a textfile is a file, which only contains text [03:00] izinucs, I tried scribus. It could not open. It is not corrupted. I shall try with inskscape.

[03:05] Jordan_U yes I know that, but I am copying a 15 GB partition and did not specify the partition number so now I have to guess the time it takes for the whole partition to go through3 [03:05] irssi is really fun 8) [03:06] and not wait for the 80 gigs to be over haha [03:06] i think it might work now thanks [03:06] freezway, That was a simple install? Any time I try to install anything other Gnome, on it's own. I run into problems. [03:06] Anyone know if it is possible to use widescreen at real console?

[03:07] ayrton, whatevers in 2.6.38 [03:07] nvidia [03:07] thats what #archlinux is for Auriga [03:08] irule: Please explain in detail your situation and your end goal. The command you gave will read bits from /dev/sda and write then to /dev/sdb untill it runs out of bits to read from or write to. [03:08] nope [03:08] kassien, there is, but its extremely complex and annoying, i'd avoid it.

[03:15] ayrton, give me lspci [03:15] freezway thank you very much [03:15] kassien, be warned [03:15] it could FUBAR ur system if ur not careful [03:16] Hey a quick question for anyone who's familiar with rsync. I'm writing a script for backups, but due to the roundabout way my drive is connected, I have to use "sudo rsync -av ....etc". Now I know that '-a' retains permissions, but what I'm concerned about is using sudo with it. Will using sudo change the permissions of the files I'm backing up to being owned by root? Or will they still be owned by my non-root user? Thank you in advance. [03:16] hey, is ubuntu-minimal a dependency for Kubuntu desktop? [03:16] Izinucs: so its basically just a hardware issue moreso than a software or config issue? [03:16] freezway, depending on how much ram you have ? [03:16] Saeth, what? [03:17] irule: No. Kill and pkill both send signals to processes, the most common being SIGTERM and SIGKILL, but SIGUSR1 does not terminate a process. [03:17] freezway, sorry thought you were answering the question I asked. [03:17] freezway here : http://pastebin.com/qMPGYFsD [03:17] Saeth, no [03:17] ayrton, looks fine... hmmm [03:18] Saeth, what be ur issue [03:18] yeah and iv seen vids of the game running great on my chipset [03:18] freezway, just wondeing if there is a limit on how files you can ¨cat¨ at one time? all the examples if have seen are cat file 1 file 2 but ive never seen anything longer then that. [03:18] ayrton, its not sandy bridge is it? [03:19] no amnesia the dark descent [03:19] Saeth, i think 2, but idk. try #bash or something [03:19] ayrton, i was refering to ur cpu [03:19] freezway, alright thanks for the help and advice. [03:19] oh [03:20] what does sandy bridges mean then?

I've got a t42.. depending on the game it's pretty slow [03:21] freezway game installs fine and runs fine but when its time for gameplay it crashes.. so i think it was driver related [03:21] Saeth: The only limit is the limit imposed by the kernel on the number of arguments that can be passed to a process. [03:22] izinucs: apparently minecraft takes its toll on the integrated card. cant seem to find an nvidia card for the T43 on ebay either =/ [03:22] ayrton, oh it crashes? is it under wine [03:22] no native to linux [03:23] nice! um... idk. sorry [03:23] Jordan_U, alright, so I should be fine with 3 files.

[04:19] unity is great [04:20] sorry didnt know it [04:20] tripelb, I was just able to get a 2nd card to work [04:20] I like that you can snap 1/2 windows in the middle of dual monitor systems! [04:21] hello, is there ipfwadm package in lucid lynx? [04:21] Jygen you should not give that advice unless you are prepared to fix any issues they might have6 [04:22] tripelb, I was charging my phone via USB, it was taking too much power and hence the cards were not working [04:22] ctmjr, youre asking a lot for free tech support, buddy === sloopy is now known as Guest85714 [04:26] i have virtual machine with windows 7 on it and vnc server install on it === Guest9245 is now known as maximus [04:26] cant connect to it by useing remote desktop viewer on ubuntu === maximus is now known as Guest12860 [04:27] i went to the router to port foward but is only 192.x.x.x.x [04:28] and the ip address on the virtual machine and the vnc server is 10.x.x.x [04:28] codex84: How is it setup? bridged or NAT? [04:29] it gave a error sayin u behind a nat [04:29] or a router [04:29] By default virtualbox shares the network in NAT mode [04:29] does anyone know how to fix this error? http://pastebin.com/bFAgyJf4 [04:30] codex84: I suggest trying to put your VM into bridged mode in order to make connections easier [04:30] alright i try [04:30] that [04:30] codex84, to get through nat you will either need bridge mode or a vpn [04:31] bridge mode is easiest. [04:31] I-are-, what made that message? [04:31] pfifo, trying to run QQ international from command line. [04:32] whats the difference [04:32] pfifo, ./qq: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ./qq) [04:32] between nat and briged? [04:32] I-are-, they are using a different version of glibc++ [04:32] I-are-, compiled aginst rather [04:33] why would an ssh portforward be working for port 80, and others, but not VNC ports? [04:33] codex84, bridged uses a tap adapter, at least in windows, which is a virtual nic that is routed through your os rather than a nat [04:33] codex84: NAT, it uses a VirtualBox network adapter to share you connection, no additional config outside the system is needed to use the same line.. Bridged mode, treats it like it has its very own network card, even though in reality it is sharing your only card. [04:33] I-are-, compile it from scratch [04:33] pfifo, not opensource [04:33] i get "chanel 3 open failed" and more this ring a bell for anyone? [04:34] I-are-, ask them to release a 8.04+ deb package [04:34] itilious: That message comes up frequently for me, doesn't seem important [04:34] i see [04:34] i got it now thanks alot man [04:35] appreicate it [04:35] sorry, i know this is offtopic, but i need a genius nerd to tell me, how different are these processors? http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=36697,42779, which is best, and by how much? [04:35] Dcite, are you still able to connect your vnc viewer thru the ssh forwarded port? which port? [04:35] Having trouble starting X [04:35] codex84 you get it. Virtual nic on host system is bridged, virtual nic nated through a virtual router in vBox is NAT [04:35] not sure what I did that broke it, but I can't boot unless in rescue mode, and if I try to start X from rescue mode I get a blank screen, but not crashed because power button still works [04:36] right the ip change on the server [04:36] I have the gma500 poulsbo chipset :-/ [04:36] i was on the nat [04:36] lol [04:36] itilious: Don't you usually need a socks proxy setup in order to pass things through it? [04:36] codex84, yep, you are grabbing the DHCP from the same source as you host machine with Bridged.

Can anyone help. I'm using a LiveCD as of now. [04:41] Chad___: from your monitor? are you using an intel or nvidia card? [04:41] However, I have Ubuntu installed already. [04:41] ohsix: nvidia [04:42] ohsix: And yes, from my monitor. I need to go and change the Xorg settings, don't I? [04:43] dunno [04:44] depends on what happened, if an updated driver broke; or the edid is wrong on your monitor and it finally started caring [04:45] ohsix: I removed the Nvidia drivere right before this occured. I had the same problem before this, but I was at least able to log in. [04:46] So..., I gksudo'd a virtualbox guest to get something done... and now... root owns that guest os... how can I take things back from root, he stole my windows xp install [04:46] Any idea's on how to take it back? [04:47] ohsix: Any way I can reinstall the nvidia driver from a live cd? [04:48] #xbins [04:48] Chad___, do this in rescue mode sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.config and change the driver to vesa then reboot hopefully it will fix X not starting [04:48] you can chroot into the other system [04:48] ctmjr: there usually isn't an xorg.conf [04:49] ohsix there is if he installed the nvidia driver iirc [04:50] poop [04:50] startx has fixed xorg not starting for me in the past [04:50] hi [04:50] ctmjr: Thanks, I'll give it a try [04:51] hi.. i'm new here; [04:51] where are you guys from ? [04:51] hilarie: it fixed it? [04:52] hilarie: chown is the command to change permissions back to your user [04:52] oh so cd to the directory where the things are [04:52] then chown ? [04:52] and do chown hilarie:hilarie [04:53] well sudo chown [04:53] has anyone here been able to create a vnc over SSH connection sucessefully? [04:53] hi all. I'm hoping to get some help.

[04:53] root has almost 50 files of mine [04:55] itilious: yes, with x11vnc and the -localhost switch, and then ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 host [04:55] can anyone recommend an internet search bar for panels? [04:55] trism, i'm using tightvncserver tho [04:55] hilarie, gksu nautilus then click the properties tab and then the permission tab on the dir you want to change [04:56] hilarie: you could gksu nautilus and do ith trough gui [04:56] ! [04:56] Thank you both, that sounds better [04:56] trism, is x11vnc better/newer or just a different "flavor" of a vnc server versus tightvncserver? [04:56] or you could just use wildcards. if all of the files are in one directory sudo chown hil:hil *.* [04:56] or add the -R flag if you want to do it recursively [04:57] itilious: I can't really say, I've barely used tightvnc [04:58] trism, is it possible to get x11vnc to have "session" logins like tightvnc does? basicaly another desktop instead of the one logged on locally? === blackcode is now known as Guest98823 [05:01] Who better to recommend a Chinese input method [05:01] does anyone have the commands to get doom3 through the terminal [05:02] not bad [05:02] i:are [05:02] hi all.

[05:43] I've an issue with Policykitd [05:43] plum: cool [05:43] :) [05:43] it is eating up the memory [05:43] in 10.10 Ubuntu [05:43] I tried lot of Google search, it ended up in a bug at Ubuntu forums [05:43] Jordan_U, it was a mdadm superblock before.. how can I make it one again?

What am I doing wrong? [05:48] Pasting my config right now [05:49] Ziber: you will want to set guest ok = yes [05:49] Jordan_U: chroot will let me re-download my kernels? [05:49] Ziber: and the folder permissions will have to be correct? [05:49] I'm trying to get a scanner to work that's on the network.

It's a pain to install but it works.. I have an MFC 7440n .. scanner works well including the printer function.. faxing can only be done from cli and is cumbersome === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest8144 [05:57] jdavis: use xsane not simple scanner.. [05:57] Hey folks, question: how can I password-protect access to a folder and/or a program? [05:57] Yerushalmi, use a compression tool would be an easy way [05:57] Yerushalmi: folders in your home folder are inaccessable except to root users? [05:57] plum: Be sure whatever LiveCD you grab is 64 bit (if your installed system is 64 bit). A 64 bit live system can chroot into either a 32 or 64 bit system. A 32 bit liveCD can only chroot into a 32 bit system. [05:58] uh oh [05:58] What is portable mp3 player which works with Ubuntu? [05:58] i think i installed 32 bit ubuntu on my 64 bit machine though [05:58] brady: any of them will do [05:58] Zelozelos: Without having to uncompress it every time I want to use it would be preferable. Just something that prompts you for a password if you try to open the program or the folder. [05:58] plum: not a major issue [05:59] mickster: i dont have a hardware drivers option in admin and there is nothing in update manager or proprietary drivers. [05:59] ah k [05:59] Yerushalmi: try http://newtoubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/password-protected-folders/ [05:59] mickster04, I don't think your claim is true. [05:59] Yerushalmi, why would you want a folder to lock from yourself? [05:59] IKSSE: well then all is up to date [05:59] izinucs: I think I have the right driver installed, but it doesn't work over the network. [05:59] okay guys i gotta go though [05:59] i'll find that log text and put it on later [05:59] Zelozelos: To lock from others who use the computer, obviously :p [06:00] jdavis: did you get the driver from brother? [06:00] brady: oh? anything less than 3 years old should be good at least [06:00] Yerushalmi, user accounts? [06:00] izinucs, yes, I just did 546 dpkg --install /home/jdavis/Downloads/brscan4-0.3.0-2.amd64.deb [06:00] mickster04: im trying to see because using java for games is keeping me at ~15fps and 85-90% cpu usage [06:00] izinucs, and then I do "scanimage -L" and nothing shows up. [06:01] IKSSE: java isn't hardware accelerated is it? [06:01] jdavis: you might want to re-read the instructions.. there's typically another file you have to install [06:01] mickster04: Thanks, that looks like it'll help [06:01] I put "192.168.1.20" (the printer address) in /etc/sane.d/net.conf [06:01] Yerushalmi: don't mean to be a douche, but second google result for password protect folder ubuntu [06:01] mickster04: not 100% on that. i think it may be a 3D acceleration problem but im not certain [06:02] IKSSE: i don't think java IS accelarated, meaning it doesn't use graphics cards especially [06:02] mickster04: Heh. I guess I've become too jaded with actually getting results through google, the sheer number of times I've had Unique Problems with this computer that needed human insight to solve. [06:02] IKSSE: flash has only just implemented that in the last couple of releases [06:03] izinucs, thank you, I am installing the scan key tool now. I ran it, and still no luck, but I'm still poking around. [06:03] mickster04: so java will just keep pouding away with straight cpu usage more or less? [06:03] This is my boot sequence pic : http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg , I cannot boot from my windows 7 CD it directly loads ubuntu [06:04] IKSSE: yes [06:04] Lights on the DVD drive blink for some time [06:04] and it loads ubunut directly [06:04] I installed windows from the same drive earlier...

[06:34] I cannot boot from a UDF-DVD which has windows 7 setup, I tried all the things (changing bios settings etc) but still it directly loads into ubuntu [06:34] Hello, I bought a usb wireless adapter and it is supported by linux and i have its driver but I don't know how to install it please help me, I have the read me file. [06:34] that maybe its a problem with the MBR [06:35] roberto: any way to fix it? [06:35] !wireless | Syria [06:35] Syria: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:35] u got the w7 installation dvd? [06:36] bullgard4 it doesn't include information about installing drivers. [06:36] Syria, what wireless card is it [06:36] hiexpo: Edimax. usb wireless adapter [06:36] roberto: yes [06:37] robertoL its a UDF-DVD [06:37] hiexpo: EW-7612 APN Edimax. [06:37] Syria, just plug it in and open a terminal and type iwconfig [06:38] whatever basically u should try this [06:38] roberto: this?

[06:43] Syria, you got 2 wireless cards connected to dlink on there wlan0 and wlan1 [06:43] roberto: what? [06:43] dn4: you get perfect cancelation and theoretically zero radiated emission from the antenna, duh! :) [06:44] roberto: O.. but can I use the same file to boot from a USB? [06:44] hiexpo: I will use this usb adapter with my desktop later, so i am trying to install its driver now so I can make an access point of it. [06:44] rob_p: is the antenna a wave and could we even classify such a thing as an antenna ? [06:44] dn4: Only if it's counterpoise exists [06:45] well there is a way to do it with the dvd of w7 in the usb and the u can boot [06:45] Syria, that cd driver you got is for windows > toss it [06:45] rob_p: How do you conclude theoretically zero radiative emissions exist while the wave resonances match each other even with the interfacing? [06:45] if ur bios can do it of course [06:45] roberto: ok ill try that [06:45] Syria, use it for a frisbee [06:45] hiexpo: I have downloaded its linux drivers from their website. [06:45] dn4: but even then, the rules only apply (loosly) to conventional physics. [06:45] but wat u need its the ms-dos command prompt [06:46] well check this out w8 [06:46] Syria, what wireless cards you have plugged in now ? [06:46] hi [06:46] dn4: How do I conclude... it's just a, "feeling!" [06:46] hiexpo: I have the wirelesss which is built in my laptop and the new edimax usb adapter. [06:46] dn4: Sorry... just talking out my... umm.. ya know! :) [06:47] Syria, they are both working [06:47] well [06:47] rob_p: ahh well on that note; I believe you are wrong [06:47] dn4: Let's save this for another channel and keep it on Ubuntu support though. :) [06:47] hiexpo: How can I make an access point of that edimax wireless usb adapter? it needs a driver right? [06:47] when u are in the cmd write this two commands [06:47] bootrec /fixmbr [06:48] bootrec /fixboot [06:48] dn4: Yeah, probably. But you can't prove it! [06:48] tha is with any kind of windows [06:48] Why does not exist the process ssh-agent although the file /usr/bin/ssh-agent exists? [06:48] Syria, no it already had the driver for it in ubuntu it is fine get over that it is connected to your dlink now it works [06:48] cl0se: hi there [06:49] i think i have lotus notes installed [06:49] but as u told me u go directly with ubuntu and theres should be a way to do it in linux [06:49] but when i click on the launcher nothing happens.. i have alreadyrestarted [06:49] as well [06:49] hiexpo: But when i connect the same usb adapter to my desktop nothing happens. :( i can't add or connect to wireless. [06:49] Syria, you mean differant computer? [06:50] hiexpo: Yes but both are working under Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat. [06:50] hiexpo: And when I turn the wireless off on the laptop that i am using now I get the same result. [06:51] Syria, the wireless must be turned on to work [06:52] hiexpo: But when I connect that usb adapter to my desktop which is also running under Ubuntu 10.10 nothing happens. [06:52] Zeu51 is lotus notes installed with wine. It doesn't come in the repositories does it? [06:52] rob_p: do not doubt that I can or cannot prove anything for I merely asked a question that very few have even asked or know anything about. For you to answer though is noble and my feelings are different that yos [06:53] Syria, ok do the same thing i told you before plug it in and do iwconfig and see the output [06:54] thumb1040: nope i donwloaded the trial version and just installed it with the help from cl0se [06:54] oh. i see. so you manually installed it then? [06:55] hiexpo: I am at work now and the desktop is at home I will do that later. [06:55] hiexpo: Thank you for helping me. :) [06:55] dn4: Well, if you can prove it, you're far ahead of me or anyone else I know involved in quantum physics. Anyway, interesting stuff for sure! :) [06:55] Syria, no problem and i am usually on here so good luck [06:56] interesting indeed; now I just wish I had the money and people nessary to answer that question [06:56] :) [06:56] dn4: Don't we all, hehe! [06:56] assuming we all do is a logical fallacy [06:57] * dn4 laughs [06:57] dn4: What...too much credit to human kind? [06:58] i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+? [06:58] dn4: Yeah, you're right. I should have said, "We all should." [06:58] Does anyone know if it is possible to install a 2.6.35 version kernel in Natty/11.04? [06:59] drzaius12 : #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! [06:59] rob_p: that is a bit more idealistic and my fingers smell like tuna fish; FML [06:59] Sorry. Thank you. [06:59] dn4, rob_p: try #ubuntu-offtopic ;P [06:59] i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+? [06:59] Zeu51, how'd it go? [07:00] rww: we are already there; oh wait this is #ubuntu I will helpz the masses [07:00] kesor: right click said icon for game and create shortcut [07:00] dn4: and how do i add it to the Games folder? [07:01] hmm this is tricky but you can go to the menu right click it [07:01] then you get options right [07:01] hmm isn't there a command for ubuntu to where youc an update your entire applications menu in the top left [07:01] like updatedb [07:03] Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out an elegant way to move some directories around in bash. For instance here are the file/directory names that I'm working with right now: http://pastebin.com/P0T5bu9V Anybody have an Idea how I could move everything except "alt" into the directory by the name of "directory"? [07:03] dn4: nope [07:03] where is the Games folder located ? [07:04] mv * directory | mv directory/alt . [07:04] cl0se: didnt work [07:04] :P [07:04] after installing lotus notes, i cannot get it to run [07:04] weird [07:04] what's the error? [07:04] cl0se: no error. simply nothing happened [07:04] go into a command prompt [07:05] type the lotus notes command [07:05] i see a launcher for lotus notes tho [07:05] tell me if there is an error then. [07:05] cl0se: gimme some time.. i am checking for the command [07:05] wanna tranfer a video from my virtual machine useing windows 7 [07:05] to my ubuntu [07:05] ? [07:06] cl0se what are you piping to the second mv command? [07:06] hello. i'm upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 and there's a prompt saying that if i don't have universe enabled certain packages are going to be removed [07:06] which is more reliable, add users one wants to be able to run as root to the 'sudo' or the 'admin' group? [07:06] thumb1040, i would use a combination of ls, sed and grep to make a shell script [07:07] <_genuser_> hello people [07:07] however, looking at /etc/apt/sources.list i see that the line referring to universe is commented because of the upgrade. how do i need to proceed so i can keep my packages? [07:07] hi [07:07] <_genuser_> anybody here using using luks on netbuntu? [07:07] <_genuser_> *LUKS [07:08] pfifo: isn't grep for searching the contents of files? don't i need to do an operation on the file names themselves? [07:10] thumb1040: grep is for searching any stream [07:10] thumb1040: like say input from a pipe [07:10] thumb1040, ls|grep -v directory| grep -v alt| sed 's/.*/mv & directory/' >> outfile && chmod 0777 outfile [07:11] thumb1040, but dont blame me if it dosent work right, better test it first [07:11] anyone? [07:11] http://images.maplin.co.uk/300/A58JQ.jpg <-- i have this cable, but i dont have an soundcard, so i want to output sound from usb going to my stereo-in. [07:12] pfifo: ok. leme work on that [07:12] thumb1040: ...another approach: for i in `ls ./ | egrep -v 'directory|alt'`; do mv $i ./directory; done [07:12] bahamas, edit it by removing the # in front of it and apt-get update again [07:12] thumb1040, sometime strings and xargs help too [07:13] bazhang: ok, i'll need to cancel my upgrade for now, because i'm passed that point. i thought that it was going to offer me a choice whether to remove them or not [07:17] pfifo: hey what's the proper syntax to see what I get from ls|grep -v directory ? Would that be something like ls|grep -v directory|echo ? [07:19] thumb1040, just dont pipe the last command to a file, this part ">> outfile" [07:22] set theme clean [07:25] hi, my screenset doesn't turn off automaticaly, i set up the screensaver @ 10min and "put display on sleep" @15, what did i missed? === galigio is now known as spartx [07:25] hi i have extreme io problems with my ubuntu desktop. whenever i do an svn *something* it takes like ages and while one cpu is complete idle the other has 100% iowait [07:25] can somebody give me hints how to debug that?

[07:35] my gawd [07:35] ooxi: There's a known issue with high iowait time with *some* of those older kernels around the time of 8.04 and 9.1.

Have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1322161.html [07:39] rob_p, hmm but i cannot upgrade :-( [07:39] ooxi: Maybe a kernel update will fix it. What kernel are you running? [07:39] what cmd did you use for svn [07:39] rob_p how to tell? [07:40] cache_surplus ,,svn update'' [07:40] ooxi: uname -r [07:40] rob_p 2.6.24-29-generic [07:41] ooxi: Ok. That is as recent a kernel as you're going to get for 8.04, I believe. === nickmoeck_ is now known as nickmoeck [07:41] rob_p, damn ^^ [07:42] ooxi: I'm afraid you'll either need to compile your own, or upgrade to a later Ubuntu to get later kernels... [07:42] rob_p do you definitly think it's a kernel issue? [07:42] ooxi: Still, I'd have thought the issue would have been worked out in 2.6.24-29 kernel. Hmm... [07:43] does having 4 different instances of vino-server running and using up 100% of my cpu between them mean i pretty much have been hacked? [07:43] ooxi: Not 100%, no. [07:43] rob_p, it's a dedicated server running on sas drives. i think the io performance should be ok :/ [07:43] Hello simax [07:43] hello [07:44] can someone help me with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/766417 ? [07:44] Ubuntu bug 766417 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "package grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: η υποδιεργασία installed post-installation script " [Undecided,New] [07:44] because i'm not using it and i'm the only one that administers this system [07:44] itilious, i don't think a hacker would use vino-server ^^ [07:44] but kill the offending processes [07:46] Hi [07:46] ooxi, i use tightvncserver and xvnc4viewer to view, do i even need vino-server? [07:46] ooxi: Yeah, you'd think so anyway. Wish I could be of more help. Did you read over that URL I gave. Perhaps there's something in there you can try (mtime options, etc.) to put a bandaid fix in place until you figure out what's causing the problem. [07:46] is it seperate or still needed? [07:47] rob_p, yes thanks for the link. i've already told the admin to enable noatime mount option [07:47] itilious, no, probably not [07:49] ooxi: Good luck with it. I'm glad my 8.04 system hasn't seen that issue! Mine is using 4 SATA drives in raid1 so its not the same configuration as yours. [07:50] ooxi: ...and mine is running the server kernel... [07:52] rob_p, am i not running the server kernel? [07:52] hey [07:52] ooxi: You're running generic. [07:53] rob_p ah ok. can i swap the kernel without pain? [07:53] 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution? [07:54] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 it was working great, upgrade went really well. I did the normal updates yesterday and now it's getting stuck on the ubuntu loading screen. If I load into recovery i am unable to select any of the options, could someone help. [07:55] ooxi: You're on a desktop system, right? Anyway, you *should* be able to run the server kernel on it but I've not tried migrating to a server kernel after the fact, at least on a desktop system. [07:55] rob_p, no it's a headless server my company uses for development [07:56] 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution? [07:56] ooxi: Well, first get the blessing of those who matter, and then give it a try. Just don't uninstall your current kernel so that you can go back to it if you need. [07:56] rob_p, ok thanks :-) [07:57] ooxi: welcome, good luck! :) [07:59] hi people, what wm will 11.04 run? [07:59] (by default) [08:00] gamla_kossan: Compiz [08:00] rww: that's.. not really a wm :) [08:00] gamla_kossan: Yes it is. [08:00] gamla_kossan: The answer to the question you meant to ask is Unity. [08:01] rww: oh? could you elaborate? [08:02] 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution? [08:03] gamla_kossan: By default, Ubuntu 11.04 will run Unity as a shell, which requires Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment. [08:03] rww: wow, that's.. confusing :) [08:04] hey Ben64 [08:04] gamla_kossan: by comparison, Ubuntu 10.10 uses gnome-panel as a shell, Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment. Upstream GNOME 3 uses gnome-shell as a shell, mutter as a window manager, and GNOME 3 as desktop environment. [08:04] it's plum [08:04] hi [08:05] i'm in a live cd right now, would you be able to help me to get my /boot partition back?

How can i save it so when i reboot its 1280x1024 resolution? [08:22] <[deXter]> zetsu: In my experience the problem I've had is not with the newbies but with the techies [08:23] deXter: how so? [08:23] <[deXter]> zetsu: because the techies have some obscure windows program/scripts that they're used to and want it to use in Linux.. all the newbies basically use the internet and word [08:23] hmm. [08:23] true [08:24] <[deXter]> zetsu: for the newbies all I do is put aptly named shortcuts "Internet", "Word", "Chat" and they're good to go. [08:24] <[deXter]> If there are further issues and I don't mind helping them out [08:24] zetsu: the distro isn't the problem with 256MB, the apps are. Using bloated stuff like openoffice, firefox etc. makes working no fun [08:24] yeah [08:25] Hi, what ubuntu version to use with iBook 500 it has a powerpc cpu with 500MHz. Can someone point me to the download site? [08:25] anyone? i have zero tty access and can only boot to x. [08:25] but even something not so light like xubuntu ran alright on a 256ram machine [08:25] with firefox too [08:25] at least firefox 4 [08:25] josvuk: powerpc [08:25] !ppc [08:25] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [08:25] didn't try 3.6 or whatever [08:25] <[deXter]> Well, Lubuntu itself uses like around like 128 MB RAM, so there isn't much left for heavy apps [08:26] yeah...maybe I should check on some other puppies [08:26] LLStarks: I had something similar [08:27] what about just some xfce distro? is the mint xfce any good? [08:27] how can i install firefox 4? ive tried with adding ppa source but it wont work [08:27] how can I block access to writing to /stuff/usb hard drive/ unless /dev/usb hard drive is actually mounted? [08:27] LLStarks: I had to install startup manager and change the boot display resolution [08:27] <[deXter]> zetsu: IIRC the xfce version is just a bit more heavier than the LXDE one.. [08:27] i am not seeing the resolutio in my moitor [08:28] LLStarks: ofcours that could be solved without startup manager (but I dont know how exactly) [08:28] deXter: haven't tried LXDE, I think I heard it's kind of unusual? [08:29] <[deXter]> Eh, not at all [08:29] there's some xorg config program. I don't remember the name but it's like xorg-setup or something along those lines [08:29] deXter: the user interface, I mean [08:29] zetsu: xfce is not really lightweight anymore [08:29] Can I use my apple IR Remote controller with Ubuntu, Moveida application? [08:29] <[deXter]> Nah, LXDE is all good.. looks a lot like gnome at first glance [08:29] I am connecting my comp to a LCD but cat see th cimesion [08:29] deXter: hm, then perhaps I should give LXDE a try, have been meaning to check it out anyways [08:29] cimesion? [08:30] wasn't there fedora LXDE spin? [08:30] <[deXter]> yep [08:30] zetsu: ask fedora [08:30] have you tried the netbook remix (forget the precise name)? [08:30] of course that might still be tuned for 1gb [08:31] SoulPropaganation2: netbook remix of what? [08:31] I like fedora, maybe I should give the LXDE spin a try [08:31] and check on some puppies [08:31] zetsu: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook [08:32] folks how can I see see display resolution more tha 800 * 640 [08:32] but I kind of didn't consider puppies because they are very very light [08:32] but then again, how is that a bad thing [08:32] exit [08:32] hi [08:32] i need help [08:33] and about the ubuntu netbook, isn't it just ubuntu with a bit tweaked look/gui to fit small screen? [08:33] zetsu its ubuntu unity gui I persoally like old gnome [08:34] thevishy: oh...haven't been on ubuntu in a long time, been thinking about giving it a go again, maybe when natty gets out (is it already?)

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:37] I have connected netbook to a lcd via VGA cable [08:37] thevishy: do you see both monitors there [08:37] I just bought a 1TB external HDD and used fdisk to format it to ext4. Now it shows that 46.8GB are used already. Isn't that a lot? What could be causing this? http://ryper.no-ip.org/Pictures/HDD.png [08:37] you might need to toggle of the 'mirror image' or what is it called -- the feature that sets same picture on both monitors [08:38] thevishy: i usually turn off laptop monitor and set external monitor with higher resolution [08:38] but how do I do that ? [08:38] I ca see the mirrorig is on [08:38] thevishy: it should be on display settings afaik, i am currently using KDE so i cannot give direct advices .. [08:39] rypervenche: From memory, I was under the impression that when a disk is formatted, a percentage (I think 5%) is reserved for system use, sounds like it could be that that has used the 46.8Gb === lance_ is now known as Guest73949 [08:40] rypervenche: as DJones said, a persentage of any disk is reserved for system use or something like that [08:40] thevishy: this might be helpfull: http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/goscustdesk-70.html.en [08:40] join #dancer [08:41] huh [08:41] rypervenche: not sure if there is differences in ntfs and ext [08:41] whois Arcas [08:41] zetsu, rypervenche : http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1340874 [08:42] thanks susundberg its working now [08:42] <[deXter]> rypervenche: That's normal; the higher the drive the higher the wastage of space [08:42] thevishy: np! [08:42] rypervenche: If you look at the "Gain Just a Bit of Space" section near the bottom of this link, it explains why and gives a suggestion using tune2fs to reduce the reserved space https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace [08:43] anyone know how to make a mount point not writable to unless that point is mounted? otherwise my other computer tries to run its backup to the internal hard drive which doesn't have room [08:43] how do i install wireshark-1.4.6.tar.bz2 [08:43] I'm trying to read the cyphered /home [08:43] I know the password [08:43] susundberg: thanks, informational link [08:44] but the specified command doesnt work [08:44] kesor - tar -xjf foo.tar.bz2 [08:44] [deXter]: DJones: Thank you. Also is this message bad? http://pastebin.com/CNwd7XDj [08:44] what valium? [08:44] kesor - then take a look at the docs included inside [08:45] what are u trying to say? [08:45] kesor - didnt you just ask how to install the wireshark package? [08:45] rypervenche: I'm not sure about the error message, its not something I've come across [08:45] valium: yes, but what are u saying? is that commands? [08:45] dident work [08:46] kesor - hmmmm ... you may need to try a simpler way. find the package $sudo apt-cache search wireshark [08:46] DJones: Ok, thank you. I'll look into into it then. [08:47] kesor: or just go back in windows, better for you [08:47] kesor - Then install the package based on the name that was presented.... which looks like its this. $ sudo aptitude install wireshark-common [08:47] allorder - give him a go. [08:47] <[deXter]> rypervenche: You did unmount it before running it, right? If the drive is empty you could try formatting it again. [08:48] kesor - if you are struggling with installing packages then you may be punching above your weight with wireshark [08:49] [deXter]: I did. It works fine when I use /dev/sdb1 and not /dev/sdb. Is that just a mistake on my end? I'm not sure if it should give me proper results for both inputs. [08:49] #linuxac.org [08:49] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Aha, yeah it should be /sdb1 [08:49] <[deXter]> rypervenche: /sdb refers to the entire device: It doesn't describe a filesystem/partition in particular [08:50] [deXter]: Ahh, I see. Thank you very much. :) [08:50] kesor - proper usage of wireshark has a high 'geek' factor. [08:50] does it though [08:50] [deXter]: This is my first time formatting an external hard drive and I chose to do it using fdisk as well. :P [08:51] question for wireshark users, is it just tcpdump with bells and whistles? [08:51] zah: kinda [08:51] i get what I need out of tcpdump filtering and grep [08:51] do i really need a clunky gui [08:51] zah - yeah but he is struggling with apt-get [08:52] oh i cut in halfway [08:52] i was actually thinking about getting wireshark the other day [08:52] how to disable screen saver automatically when I was watching youtube or movie? [08:52] but im wondering if it would be best to just master tcpdump [08:52] since its included with most distros anyways [08:53] how do i install GTK? [08:54] zah - i havent had much use for it. I use it occassionally when I am trying to hunt down bandwidth hogs and things that might be causing broadcast storms [08:54] !! [08:54] kesor: google a bit [08:54] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Congrats; and good choice on ext4.. I wish I could use it too. [08:55] kesor - you gotta help yourself a little dude -- ask a considered question and then you'll get help. Its not the spoon feed channel [08:56] +1 [08:56] lol [08:57] how do i make ubuntu? [08:57] * ejv laughs [08:58] Very carefully [08:58] ;p [08:58] Open a terminal and type "make ubuntu" [08:58] im on my windows lappy no can do :p [08:59] on my ubuntu I'm running 2 identical Python executables, except for their interpreter paths. the 1 executes a URL post perfectly, the other one gives me a 503 Error response. Exactly the same code, 2 different python interpreters. what am I missing? [09:00] hgeldenhuys: possibly a question for #python ? [09:00] hgeldenhuys: how can they be identical if they are in two different locations ? [09:00] although that is an interesting question [09:00] ikonia their code is identical [09:00] ejv, cool [09:00] hi [09:00] ikonia: if you have two cans of beer, they're the same thing even if one's in a different fridge [09:01] what's the equivalent of /sbin/chkconfig --list on ubuntu? [09:01] hgeldenhuys: are they the ubuntu packaged python versions ?

What have I done wrong? http://pastebin.com/FLewbdVv [09:03] hi, I was doing an update earlier, Maverick 10.10 and this appeared and wont go away.

In that picture, (http://ryper.no-ip.org/Pictures/HDD.png) it shows my HDD's capacity at 916.9GB. Hasn't the partition space already been accounted for? Why would another 46.8GB be removed?

[09:06] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Blame the HDD manufacturers for that [09:07] <[deXter]> rypervenche: HDD manufacturers think 1MB = 1000 KB , but we all know it's 1024 KB [09:07] rypervenche: 5% root-reserved? [09:07] <[deXter]> rypervenche: So in the early days it didn't matter as HDD capacities were low; but as MBs became GBs and GBs became TBs, obviously the disparity increased. [09:07] i still love the newegg drive reviews of noobs complaining they were misled when the reported size is 'lower than expected'... *facepalms* [09:08] 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution? [09:08] <[deXter]> rypervenche: Which is why there's a new unit or rather, the official term for the correct unit is MiB / GiB / TiB [09:08] bubblesj - its a tool called sysv-rc-conf .... go here to find out more.... http://sysv-rc-conf.sourceforge.net/ [09:08] ubunut!

Shouldn't I have more than 1000GB then? [09:09] was that really necessary ikonia lol... [09:09] I have a computer set to network backup to a USB hard drive. When the drive isn't plugged in, it still backs up to the folder that the hard drive mounts to. How can I make it stop doing that? [09:09] rypervenche: sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdXY | grep Reserved change sdXY to your drive [09:09] he didn't appear to be disruptive... [09:09] <[deXter]> rypervenche: No, 1TB = 1024GB, but the HDD manufacturers only put in 1000GB [09:10] SoulPropagation2: sudo chmod 000 /backupfolder [09:10] SoulPropagation2 - do a check to make sure the block device is present [09:10] SoulPropagation2: when drive is NOT mounted [09:10] llutz - even simplier ...nice one [09:11] ..

[10:01] what was the answer [10:01] Is there a way to restore the nautilus file manager to the original (default) state? [10:01] Gurke___: depends on what you need it for [10:01] Gurke___: Personally, I go with the latest version available unless my hardware has an issue with it [10:02] Gurke___: if it's a server, and want long term support, go with 10.04, if for your pc, 10.10 [10:02] the newer the distro, the more secure, and up-to-date your system will be. [10:02] What command-line command determines the currently used desktop environment?

You will need physical access. A router that can be hard reset without a password or physical access would be too vulnerable to local miscreants.

So, afaik, no Linux music software can connect to the iTUnes store. And I have a feeling that Mr. Jobs will do any changes to that. Also: I doubt that there will be a Linux version of iTunes. It might be that you can install Wine and run iTunes there. Search the web for Wine and Itunes [10:43] trond-: it has NOTHING to do with paranioa, so get a grips on the reasonsing behind it before spouting nonsense to people [10:43] wine is a bit buggy though [10:44] valium: Even its slow (sudo rm -fr /path/) [10:44] i want 2 copy my iso image files 2 my usb how i do that ... through terminal [10:44] ikonia, i know.

I would finish the postfix installation first.

[10:55] i have a problem with gedit... i have to create a list of names and make a TAB space between them, the problem is that when i press TAB the first time it puts a space, then i have to press it again to put a true TAB.

[10:59] Im trying to mount an nfs share via PXE boot, when it boots it complains about Read-only filesystem, but my /etc/exports file has the rw option, i even chown & chmod the directory 777 but still no luck, any ideas? [10:59] d [11:01] d [11:02] Hi, i did a nmap tcp port scan on one of my server... It report that the port 554 is open... when do a netstat -atunp on my server i don't see this port... but if i try to connect throught telnet it repond.... have you an idea? [11:02] xilo: possible compromise [11:03] xilo: if you telnet to the port, what does it respond with [11:03] xro2: what is the problem? [11:03] xro2: sorry, that was for you, it's a possible compromise, what does it respond with if you telnet to it [11:04] xro2: possible it's also something that's launched from xinetd [11:04] ikonia, Connected to x.x.x.x Escape character is '^]'.... but with wireshark i saw that it respond... [11:05] xro2: issue a command, anything, what does it do [11:05] mickster04, servers doesn't have to respond to a port i haven't specified! [11:05] ikonia, nothing special... [11:05] erUSUL, I though dig was a dns only tool. WIll try nslookup [11:05] xro2: what does it respond with exactly [11:06] I've a question about packing things in so that I can break up my huge partition into something smaller and not lose information. How can I do this? Can I do this? I've got a 1T drive, say 1/6 full at most. [11:06] tripelb: what do you want to change ? [11:06] ubuntu 10.04, default. [11:06] erUSUL, no, they both seem to go straight to DNS (unless there's some command line option I haven't looked for yet) [11:06] tripelb: first question, why do you want to change your partition layout ? [11:07] ikonia, nothing in the telnet session but I saw that it ack every command in wireshark [11:08] hello. Does somebody know how I can undelete files on an SD-card? [11:08] I mean, a flashcard from a camera. [11:08] Mrokii: maybe photorec (testdisk package) helps [11:09] okay, thanks. [11:09] Damn router! [11:09] I want to have a couple of partitions. why, one to have some ntfs. two I have a hard drive with issues. I want to dump what is there into it's own partition to keep things clean. -- are there any other good reasons to break up a partition? I should have made a separate home, tho I found out we can now (or soon) update the system without trashing home. Another reason is I coudl run two versions of ubuntu. Fear is keeping me from updat [11:09] ing 10.04 and I'd rather have both. [11:09] Jibblit sorry got disconnected [11:09] ikonia ^^^^ [11:09] right when you were about to give me the solution to my include problem... :) [11:10] xro2: When you do, "sudo netstat -lpnt" does port 554 show up in the list? Obviously you have some service listening on that port. But if netstat refuses to show it as listening, that could suggest a hacked netstat (possible rootkit, etc.). The responsible process will be listed in the far right column. [11:11] rob_p, no... This is why i don't understand... [11:11] xro2: "sudo lsof -i :554" "pgrep xinetd" [11:11] tripelb: the first thing to do is to boot from a livecd and shrink your root partition (/) down to the zie you want it to be [11:12] @etie, lol, maybe [11:12] h?h? :) [11:12] is C_LIBRARY_PATH the correct include variable on 10.10? [11:12] llutz_, nothing [11:13] @etie not sure, but have you tried hardcoding the directory instead of using an $ variable? [11:14] Jibblit well, nop I haven't but technically I (want to) have little control over that because it's for compiling pyopencl, which is "self-compiling" from pip, the python package manager [11:15] hey guys and gals, I have a ubuntu 10.10 installation x86, is there a way I can upgrade this to the x64 version without rebuilding my machine.? i know its a long shot but worth a go. [11:15] it is including in one of its own include, which gcc fails to find in the search path [11:15] PodMan99, upgrade from 32 to 64 without a full reinstall? [11:15] etienneroesch: no? how did you expect that to work? [11:15] xro2: What don't you understand? There *is* something listening on that port. *If* netstat refuses to show what process is bound to that port, then it's likely a hacked netstat. And yes, even xinet will show up as a process in the list if it is bound to and listening on a port. [11:15] bazhang: yes [11:15] PodMan99, no [11:16] etienneroesch: wrong nick sorry [11:16] bazhang: clears that up :) thanks [11:16] mickster04 no problemo :) [11:16] rob_p, hacked netstat??? do you think that a hacker penetrate my system and then change the netstat soft? [11:17] xro2: It's possible, if everything you are telling us is true. [11:17] xro2: It would usually be part of a rootkit. [11:18] Jibblit hence my question: what is the search path for includes on 10.10? and what is the correct system variable to update? [11:18] crisis. i need help. servers suddenly, out of the blue, came up with "no space on device"# [11:18] and i dont even know whats caused it [11:18] rob_p, i will check it... but that appears a bit strange! my system is not so old and patched... [11:18] i can only get into a bash [11:19] etienneroesch: you don't use C_LIBRARY_PATH (whatever that is), you add the directories with the -I and -L flags of gcc, there are no environment variables for it as it will vary from project to project [11:19] lxs-makoto: verify there is no space left on the device and find out why? If you're not comfortable in bash a « sudo apt-get clean » may free up some space so you can login [11:19] xro2: Well, I don't want you to panic, but you should definitely look into what's going on because it's a pretty fishy scenario... [11:20] #etie try this: http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/to-add-new-library-path-in-ubuntu-1010.html [11:20] substituting gedit if you wish of course [11:21] how do you list all the active processors ? [11:21] princo, in top ? [11:21] in terminal [11:21] for completeness: that is where I found C_LIBRARY_PATH http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535808 [11:21] In ubuntu 10.10, I successfully configured /etc/network/interfaces ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/596486/ ) to use wpa_supplicant and dhcp to connect to an AP ("UHH-WPA"). Now I want the machine to connect to an ad-hoc network ("bensotec") instead when that ad-hoc network is available. But I think for that network I need to specify an ip manually. How do I do that? [11:21] admitedly an old page [11:21] princo, assuming you mean processes and not processors [11:21] yep processes [11:21] does iptables block localhost to localhost connections unless otherwise told? [11:21] sorry not processors. [11:21] x wont start, [11:22] top in terminal princo [11:22] princo sudo apt-get install htop; htop [11:22] princo: htop gives a nice coloured output of both processors and processes [11:22] okay let me try. thanks [11:22] etienneroesch: no you didn't :) [11:23] jrib what do you mean? :) [11:23] etienneroesch: there's no "C_LIBRARY_PATH" in your link [11:23] excellent just what i was looking for. thanks :) [11:24] jrib Ha, correct! Wrong link: that is the one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535808 [11:24] what other cool things can you do with ubuntu? :P [11:24] rob_p, ohhh, i cannot connect it from: telnet 127.0.0.1 554! really strange...

[11:25] hey guys if my modem doesn't support linux is it possible to use it in linux [11:26] etienneroesch: I am. "C_LIBRARY_PATH" is no where on that page. There are other include variables (valid ones). « man gcc » documents them [11:26] xro2: It may not be listening on local loopback.

I don't think it is but could be doing it wrong [11:34] xro2: I see where you're going... ok. But you should remove all extraneous variables. Plug in directly to the server (if possible) and rerun your analysis. [11:34] Rick77: layouts → options [11:34] Rick77: or it could even be the layout you have chosen. What layout is selected?

[11:42] it exists on the processes (from system monitor) but not on the system tray [11:43] etienneroesch: is the "problem" that you have some sort of dependency installed in a non-standard path? Because that's pretty much what the purpose of C_INCLUDE_PATH is afaik [11:43] xro2: Good luck! Hope you find out what's going on. Perhaps you have a firewall rule that redirects inbound tcp port 554 to some other server (or something along those lines) because that would explain it. [11:44] martin_: It should be a setting in screensaver settings and then power management tabs [11:44] rob_p, i have a rule that drop all traffic i didn't permit... so it could drop traffic to 554 port...

[12:39] autoremove is fine, as long as you _read_ the list of packages to be removed [12:39] some seems to me to be importent like linux-headers and libboost-program-options I don't won't a system in which the gcc don>'t work properly [12:39] Why do some of my removable storage devices have icons as if they are text files? === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [12:39] almoxarife, no when i try start the service it says it is unrecognised [12:40] glenn1794: you can set the icon to anything you want [12:40] josvuk: the headers are for older kernels which have been upgraded, so that's fine. as for the libboost stuff, obviously something that did depend on it was removed, and so that package isn't required any more [12:40] dyllan: what package? [12:41] almoxarife, atftpd [12:42] I've installed a vbox with xp in my ubuntu 10.10. But how do I copy stuff in to it from ubuntu? [12:42] Good day @all [12:42] ActionParsnip, Thanks [12:42] hi Hansi89 [12:42] hi shomon ! [12:42] heyho shomon [12:42] shomon: i'd ask in #vbox [12:42] ok no problem [12:42] Hello nbca [12:43] Does Ubuntu support lvm partitions with the standard installation medium? [12:43] nbca: No. Only alternative, I believe. [12:43] shomon: use virtualbox shared folder [12:43] pcquad: seriously, no bots here [12:43] red2kic: damn, thanks [12:43] well I just set one up but no clue where to go in vbox to access it [12:43] dyllan: does it require a re-boot? [12:43] thanks though rzx237 [12:43] almoxarife, no sir [12:44] shomon: power off the vbox and go into the settings, there are shared folders there. It also shows how to map them to the OS [12:45] shomon: if you are using samba to share on the LAN you can use a bridged network connection and access the shares as if the virtual system was a real system of it'sown === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [12:45] aah thanks ActionParsnip [12:45] I'll probably have to switch to bridge mode or something in vbox [12:46] ололо [12:46] shomon: can be easier although not as graceful, the #vbox guys will help. You will also find youtube vids detailing it too [12:46] is there some console command/program i can install/call to get the external IP of the computer? [12:46] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html <-- have a look dyllan [12:48] dyllan: Do, "sudo apt-get --purge remove atftpd" and after it finishes do, "sudo apt-get install atftpd" and the init script for it should be back. [12:48] thanks almoxarife. I know how to do it but the problem is that the file that starts the service is missing, there must be a way to get that back? [12:48] rob_p, thanks thats what i was looking for, appreciated [12:48] thanks almoxarife as well [12:49] dyllan: getting it back is easy if you had a backup running, I assume you don't though, forensic data recovery I don't have a clue about [12:50] Hans_Henrik: last i googled for that - i found proberly a dozen scripts, or other ways to do that task. [12:50] Hans_Henrik: ive seen conky scripts that also do it. [12:50] almoxarife, of course i dont, that would be against IT protocol ;) [12:50] BlouBlou: I used the update manager but I want to have a look inside what is going wrong [12:50] dyllan: I thought you re-installed the package? [12:51] almoxarife, I did, but i needed to --purge remove to then install again and the service file was installed [12:52] dyllan: cool, btw, I finally resolved my lazy ass to keep 'sbackup' running for these kind of rainy days [12:52] What is the Hibernate shut down? Is it right to use it if I will shut down the comp and the next time I restart it all the programms what was running are back again without starting its all again? [12:52] almoxarife, nicely done! ;) [12:53] ok, I realized the shutdown problems don't happen if I switch off my wifi. [12:54] how do i get the contents of a spectific URL printed as text? (WITHOUT any html parsing, i wish to get the contents of http://ip2.dynupdate.no-ip.com/ ) [12:54] printed as text in a shell* [12:54] Hans_Henrik: wget -q -O - URL [12:54] Hans_Henrik: ivve seen some html2text commands/scripts - but not sure if any re in teh default repos. [12:55] Hans_Henrik: now the better question is, why do you want to do this? [12:56] josvuk: yes [12:56] jrib: just a way to get external IP via a shell [12:57] josvuk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing) [12:57] Hans_Henrik: wget -O - -q icanhazip.com [12:58] Hans_Henrik: WANIP=`wget -q -O - http://ip.keithscode.com`; echo $WANIP [12:59] does anybody have a logitech c250 webcam? [12:59] all described methods works, thanks guys. my problem is solved [12:59] !anyone | kavurt [12:59] kavurt: 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. [12:59] Hans_Henrik: my way adds it to a variable so you can use it in scripts and the like ;) [12:59] true [13:01] how can i make a permanent alias in gnome term? [13:01] Hans_Henrik: in the .bashrc or .profile or some other similer file. [13:01] !alias [13:01] * jrib puts Dr_Willis on factoid-writing duty [13:02] i submited a bunch once.. they never got implimented. :) === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [13:02] Dr_Willis: well if you submit now and poke me when you're done, I promise I'll take a look :) Sorry about that [13:02] I must of had my old irc client setup with like 100+ 'faq' answers also.. but i lost the files :) [13:04] who can help me please? [13:04] facme: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [13:04] facme: and the problem is? [13:05] Hey, does anyone have experience with burg, the graphical bootloader? [13:05] uabn93: i tried it once.. it dident work. :) [13:05] but that was 6+Mo ago. [13:05] how can i search for files in current directory and all sub-directories with gnome term? [13:05] Hans_Henrik: find command or the locate command. [13:05] Dr_Willis: why didn't it work? [13:05] ty willis [13:05] Hans_Henrik: you may want to check out some bash tutorials and command line starter guides. [13:06] under text command mode chinese ambiguousness [13:06] uabn93: i installed it.. it dident work.. so i went back to grub2.. [13:06] Hans_Henrik: locate uses a database, find does not. Which one to use. deends on what you want to do with the found names. [13:07] under text command mode chinese ambiguousness who know why? [13:07] Dr_Willis: I want to install it on my system but was wondering if there were any risks i should know about before doing it. [13:07] uabn93: worse case.. system wont boot.. [13:07] Well well well [13:08] Dr_Willis: then i would have to simply repair grub from live cd? or what would i fix that scenario [13:08] uabn93: yep. live cd, chroot in, reinstall grub2 or somthing like that. [13:09] Dr_Willis: i just need to get a list of all files with a specific name on the filesystem (perferrably with wildcard * support) [13:09] facme: if i knew what you were talking about. I would answer.. no need to PM me.. I have no clue what you are refering to. [13:09] uabn93: burg isn't supported here. You can reinstall grub2 from live cd [13:09] Hans_Henrik: find would give you teh list at that time.. locate would access the 'database' so may not be current. [13:10] Dr_Willis: what database? o.0 [13:10] Dr_Willis: is there some "search-indexer" function in ubuntu im not aware of? [13:10] Hans_Henrik: the locate database.. see man locate, and the 'sudo updatedb' command [13:10] oh... [13:11] Hi there all, I have a question pertaining to tomboy notes. I love this software, but I was wondering if there is a way to have multiple words link to the same note (e.g. have 'USA' and 'America' both link to the 'USA' note)? [13:11] Hans_Henrik: locate used a database.. updaed daily. theres othe5r search tools out there as well. [13:11] so i assume "locate" gives reults much faster than "find"? [13:11] I will learn English well~ [13:11] ActionParsnip: and reinstalling grub would remove "burg," the thing i cant talk about here? srry. [13:11] Hans_Henrik: thats the trade off.. speed vs 'accuracy' [13:12] uabn93: it will put the default stuff in the MBR and reference Grub instead of burg. Your system should then be ok [13:12] uabn93: you would have to remove burg i imagine.. and reinstall grub2.. i dont recall how i did it [13:12] i tend to remove silly eyecandy :) [13:13] great. i think that's enough support. thanks for the help. [13:13] Hans_Henrik: for locate to be accurate you will need to run: sudo updatedb every time before searching with: locate [13:13] that would kinda kill the "locate is speedy" part right? [13:13] or less often if your files dont change as much [13:14] Hans_Henrik: if the filesystem changes very little then locate is great, personally I use find [13:14] Hans_Henrik: locate scans the WHOLE system by default :) you can use it on a per user/directory setup also [13:14] so its back to depending you how you want to use the data. :) [13:14] Hmm, no but how about for example sshfs mounted directories ? [13:15] i guess it is resctrited to somewhat 'local' directories .. [13:15] I can use (for example) locate to index my 3TB of video files.. and easially find what i need quickly. keeping the locate database on that drive as well. [13:15] (or how about crypted home directories -- the database should not (?) contain those filenames .. [13:15] ye, for that it is good ;) [13:15] with sshfs - it would see it as a local dir. locate by default does ignore speififc fileysstem types. [13:16] susundberg: if you can connect to ssh, you can mount sshfs (usually) [13:16] why is locate's index much faster than the filesystem's list? i kinda find that strange [13:16] Hans_Henrik: it indexes and sorts the whole directory listing... [13:16] Hans_Henrik: locate keeps a database of files which is a file and is scanned, rather than the actual files themselves [13:17] Hans_Henrik: hence the need to updatedb [13:17] hi anyone able to install gimp ? I am having problem installing at synaptic 404 file not found ? [13:17] nbubuntu1: pastebin the error [13:17] nbubuntu1: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [13:17] nbubuntu1: could be the servers are updateing, or similer. whats the server you are using?

[13:19] ActionParsnip : 10.10 [13:19] nbubuntu1: that's not what it outputs [13:19] nbubuntu1: run « sudo apt-get update » and try to install gimp agani [13:19] ActionParsnip : The output is Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [13:20] nbubuntu1: thats better, when people ask for output, give the FULL output [13:20] ActionParsnip : sorry I though 10.10 is enough [13:20] archive.ubuntu.com is one of those 'picks from a list of servers' type addresses? or not? ive nver noticed. [13:21] nbubuntu1: see above ;) [13:21] nbubuntu1: it was. some people like to be pedantic :-) [13:21] * Dr_Willis gets out the dictionary [13:21] nbubuntu1: the filenames aren't the same as in the folder, the update command which jrib gave may fix that [13:22] to be fair it's pretty frustrating not to get full output but to get things paraphrased. In this case it didn't really matter, but it's a good habit to get into [13:22] sipior: it also shows if folks are using non-ubuntu distros ;) [13:23] nbubuntu1: there is libgimp2.0 version 2.6.11 which may work but I'd try and stick to letting apt-get do stuff [13:23] ActionParsnip : I am installing right now "apt-get install gimp" [13:23] nbubuntu1: cool, so all is well? [13:24] ActionParsnip : yep , things really mess up when I try to install some plugin [13:24] nbubuntu1: as long as it's installing, that's cool :) [13:25] ActionParsnip : if you could help me abit with the package , having error compiling a refocus-it plugin which it outdated === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:26] ActionParsnip : it required gimp-2.0 gimpui-2.0 but using gimp 2.6 now === mang0 is now known as mang0|BEACH === h3r0 is now known as hansam [13:28] theres been lots of changes i imagine since 2.0 to 2.6 - it may not be doable very easially [13:29] nbubuntu1: theres numerous gimp plugin sites and packages not in the default repos - whatever that one does. may be another plugin can do that same [13:30] nbubuntu1: you may find a ppa for gimp-plugin-registry some place, or a deb [13:30] hello [13:30] Dr_Willis : I know that , but it's hard to find a good plugin , do you know any plugin for gimp to fix camera shake ?

It says "Drop all elevated privileges" [13:32] crystal-cola: thats to drop the gksudo you used a little while ago [13:32] I don't remember running any gksudo [13:32] crystal-cola: by default it has a grace period but you can make it end no (saves you having to re-enter your password a lot) [13:32] crystal-cola: or sudo... [13:32] wel I don't think I've been using that [13:32] so I don't know how that got there [13:33] when I tell it to drop it doesn't go away [13:33] rai [13:33] what should I do? [13:34] I can't see any thing suspicious in top [13:36] i never recall seeing any key. :) perhaps i neer looked [13:37] crystal-cola: just click on it and it should go away [13:37] crystal-cola: Do you see it still? [13:37] it's still there, even after I click on it [13:37] crystal-cola: "ps -aux | pastebin" [13:37] crystal-cola: try: gksudo gedit then close gedit, then kill the key [13:37] crystal-cola: "ps -aux | pastebinit" <--- [13:37] crystal-cola: Install pastebinit first. [13:37] Then we'll look at your processes. Whoops. [13:38] if he runs 'gksudo apt-get install pastebinit' :) then see if its goes away. [13:38] crystal-cola: Try "sudo -k" -- See if that kill. [13:39] * ActionParsnip thinks guake and pastebinit should be in the default install [13:39] hi [13:39] No way. For many good reasons -- Particulary security. [13:39] hello [13:39] only english? [13:39] * red2kic tells newcomers to run "this command" and obtain juicy information on pastebinit site. [13:40] linjan: yes [13:40] yes sorry [13:41] ActionParsnip : thanks it does have more plugin ;-) [13:41] nbubuntu1: indeed ;) [13:41] ActionParsnip: Dunno if you know about tilda. :) [13:42] ps -U root -u root u [13:42] that tells all the stuff running as root [13:43] hey all. I'm having a problem with apache and php that no amoutn of googling seems to be fixing. Apache keeps serving my php files for download insteading of executing them. Does anyone have any ideas? [13:43] I noticed that after a few hours of file system checks and fixes, that I could mount my drive just fine (even though the checks and fixes never got to the end) in a live cd and the data looked fine... so I searched and found out ANY ERRORS AT ALL would prompt the system to mount in read-only via fstab settings, so I changed that, should I be worried about my data? or can I just pickup and continue where I left off? [13:43] red2kic: yes, and yakuake for kde [13:44] Yay! PHP files for downloading! [13:44] I'm currently in the affected system right now, using the OS just fine [13:44] ShapeShifter499: i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive as well as make SMART test the drive [13:44] hi gents what cammnd or series of commands would i use to track down the controller for a harddisk [13:45] for example sdc [13:45] am4zing`: sudo lshw | less [13:45] well I rebooted and it went away [13:47] ActionParsnip, what about deleting all non-personal files, resizing the partition, then reinstalling onto a new partition, then taking my personal files and moving them to the new partition then resizing back to full space ? [13:47] ActionParsnip should this take forver to execute? [13:47] ShapeShifter499: not sure, depends where the issue lies [13:47] Hi - what is the best way to get media streaming from my karmic box to my PS3? Is there an easy "outa the box" method? [13:47] am4zing`: it will take a while, then you will get output, use cursosrs to scroll and Q to exit [13:48] madPJKfan: can PS3 access windows file shares? [13:48] madPJKfan: there is no best way, just options [13:49] ActionParsnip, can set up smb share, is that the trick? [13:49] madPJKfan: you'll want to have a look at ushare. [13:49] ushare is nifty. [13:49] madPJKfan: I also suggest you upgrade to Lucid soon as Karmic support ends when Natty is released (or very close) [13:49] ActionParsnip, read a thing on fuppes - wondering what is the best - looked a bit urk. [13:49] ActionParsnip, well on a newer live cd (version 10.10) I was originally resizing the drive to make room for windows and the live cd crashed and became unresponsive, so I HAD TO REBOOT, then I got the errors, the thing is it seems gparted never got to the point of resizing... so it just seemed to effect a few blocks, idk but my system seems fine right now as I'm able to use it right now [13:49] madPJKfan: if it can, it's an option. You can also use mediatomb or vlc to setup a stream then connect to it with your PS3 [13:50] madPJKfan: there is no best anything in life dude [13:50] i assume lshw doesn't work on dom0 in xen [13:50] Right - selection criteria is defined as "easiest/minimum effort, acceptable results" [13:50] am4zing`: I've not used xe so can't comment there [13:51] madPJKfan: if it can access samba shares then that will be easiest, I don't own a PS3 so am not familiar with its capabilities in this sense [13:51] Dr_Willis, cheers - easy setup? === thiago- is now known as Thiago-Malcher [13:51] madPJKfan: read the docs.. edit 1 config file. [13:51] rather simple. Mediatomb is more guish [13:51] ActionParsnip, what do you think? [13:52] my network card not working [13:52] help me plz [13:52] ShapeShifter499: the random power off may have damaged the drive or/and data. I'd also test your RAM to be sure that it is not causing the issue [13:52] Dr_Willis, once upon a time I used to edit smb.conf files, nowadays, I can't even find the built in gui for file sharing. [13:52] my network give 00:00:00:00:00 [13:52] madPJKfan: you can use nautilus to setup shares. I always use smb.conf personally [13:52] madPJKfan: i dont need a gui to enable samba.. [13:52] plz any body help me [13:53] plz [13:53] p[lz [13:53] needed lshw -disable dmi :) [13:53] thanks mate [13:53] Matr|x: perhaps give some details instead of flooding [13:53] Here comes onquestion about bugzilla. I run bugzilla on 10.04 LTS. Is it possible to change langugage on bugzilla? [13:53] am4zing`: sweet, lad you got the data :) [13:53] Matr|x: have you been messing with mac address changers?

[14:04] I am trying to connect to it with ecconectics DDR2 RAM backup [14:04] barf: try with filezilla to test [14:04] ManDay: you can add PPAs and get it [14:05] ManDay: There's a thread about that on the Natty testing forum [14:05] ActionParsnip: how do you install in the other versions? [14:05] ActionParsnip: can ncftp do it? [14:05] Soothsayer_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:05] barf: not used it [14:05] I can d/l filezila to my mac... [14:06] barf: a quick websearch would have given you this: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client [14:06] barf: you should try that a little instead of simply asking [14:06] barf: Does ncftp support sftp? If it only supports FTP it will not work. [14:07] ActionParsnip, doing so :) [14:07] bnbnbnb [14:07] Soothsayer_: it will also make flash work in other browsers most times too [14:08] ActionParsnip: I was concerning plans to ship it as default === xeros_ is now known as xeros [14:08] worked :) [14:09] ManDay: not sure there [14:09] I'm considering installing Nautilus elementary, any reason not to ?

Not a big deal really [14:13] but have got stuck [14:14] my stylus is acting like a mouse for the entire desktop [14:14] what is the 375MB partition? I noticed, in windows, that there is another partition other than the one I created for ubuntu. Is it somesort of back up drive? [14:14] which is 2x30" panels [14:15] I want it to only be active within gimp, not as a desktop pointer [14:15] drdozer: those things often have a absolute, or relative setting. relative = works like a mouse. absolute - like a touchpad. [14:15] Dr_Willis: it's acting as absolute, addressing my whole desktop [14:15] Camer0n: may be a recovery partition [14:15] drdozer: gimp also has its own specific tableyt settings. [14:16] hmmm [14:16] testing [14:16] drdozer: i seem to recal my tablet had a mouse that worked one way. then the pen worked the other way.. but ive not had one in years.. :) [14:16] thanks ActionParsnip [14:16] Dr_Willis: yes - I can turn on gimp's 'window' mode, but then I see the stylus pointer 2x - once addressing the whole screen as a standard mouse, and in addition addressing the gimp window === dragonkeeper is now known as Bulldog [14:17] hi [14:17] hi [14:17] also windows is saying that the drive, that I thought was my ubuntu partition, is empty [14:17] http://vvcap.net/db/xEOBK_hlFPI-17xr8SUh.htp [14:17] na === Gurke_ is now known as Milhuu [14:17] Dr_Willis: Ideally I want to dissable it from being considered as a pointer for the whole desktop [14:17] .. [14:18] ActionParsnip: I tried Filezilla 10.0.0.9 user pass 22 [14:18] Quickconnect [14:18] i am about to install arch linux now, at the "select packages to install" should i select everything??? "space button and select everything on the list?? [14:18] Camer0n: windows cannot do anything with Ext based partitions. [14:18] Will that use scp? or sftp protocol? [14:18] Has anyone use androind phone as a modem in linux for mobile Mobile Broadband? [14:18] barf: sftp should do it. I use andftp and it connects to my ssh port with no issue. [14:19] perlsyntax: whic version? [14:19] 8which [14:19] okay, well for some reason I can only have 5 partitions on my drive, how can i give ubuntu some of the windows partition?

[14:20] perlsyntax: I used my GT540 on Android 2.1 with Maverick and it was fine [14:20] any ideas? [14:20] ActionParsnip,What package would i need just the data service [14:21] ActionParsnip: I see that Filezilla connects to sshd, but how can I check the logs, which protocol is used? [14:21] ActionParsnip,I was thinkking of getting HTC inspire 4G [14:21] perlsyntax: when the system is ready to update, it will update. You may use those if you wish but people helping will see you have a weird kernel and probably not support you. Is your kernel misbehaving and/or is hardware not working? [14:22] barf: sftp is the protocol [14:22] perlsyntax: should be the same gig [14:22] even on port 22? [14:22] ActionParsnip, any idea?

You are RESIZING, not making a new partition [14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: then remove one [14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> 4 PRIMARY may be the issue === jesus is now known as Guest1266 [14:24] <[TK]D-Fender> 5* [14:25] Camer0n: resizing is making one partition smaller then making one bigger to give more space to the partition === lwoup is now known as fdasl [14:25] 。 [14:25] Dr_Willis, sorry back. discontinued project, really ? [14:25] anybody from locoteams? === haitham is now known as dhaitham [14:25] yes but ActionParsnip it makes the partition smaller whilst creating a new one therefore it creates 6 partitions and yes [TK]D-Fender but I need them all [14:25] ive seen windows come with 4 primary partitions in use befor on new machines.. made it a pain to get linu on the boxc. [14:25] im just going by the recommendation of omgubuntu [14:25] How can i add an already running process to sys-tray? [14:25] Ishwon: #ubuntu-locoteams would be the best place to find a LoCo resource. [14:26] my skype exists only on sys-monitor (processes) [14:26] Soothsayer_: check its homepage. check omgubuntu. I think they re focusing on their own filemanager replacement ., not just tweaking nautilus [14:26] dhaitham: install alltray, run from ALT+F2 and click the app === kesor is now known as kriume212212 [14:26] Pici: joined...but no answer there :( === kriume212212 is now known as kriume [14:26] Camer0n: resizing will only make free space, not anoter partition [14:26] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Well it says "X max" and you have reached X. I guess you have shot yourself down. [14:26] <[TK]D-Fender> ^^ [14:26] Can I dist-upgrade to 11.04 by now? [14:27] barf: you could a while back [14:27] barf: you could.. but its still in beta testing [14:27] barf: if you ask in #ubuntu+1 they will help with that [14:27] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: Not normally until it is actually released [14:27] ActionParsnip, it still doesn't let me though becasue it only allows a max of five [14:27] barf: but it isn't ready or stable [14:27] and no extra free space [14:28] its stupid but is there a way round it? [14:28] Camer0n: you can have an extended partition then make 15 more logical partitions therin and they will all work [14:28] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Remove one [14:28] Dr_Willis, "But hold on, they have now decided to restart the Nautilus Elementary project and PPA's have been updated already for both Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty." [14:28] Soothsayer_: I found a nautilus elementary ppa with a natty folder [14:29] [TK]D-Fender, I have my windows 7 one, a system one, a recovery one that come with my laptop that i can't delete, I then have the ubuntu one and apparenly an ubuntu recovery partition, I CAN'T delete any [14:29] ActionParsnip - I installed that, it says 'click on a window to dock' - i click on skype but it minimizes it (windows style) to the bottom not to the top panel near clock / empathy and so on [14:29] Soothsayer_: https://launchpad.net/~am-monkeyd/+archive/nautilus-elementary-ppa?field.series_filter=natty [14:29] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? [14:29] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: "Ubuntu recovery?" I have never seen such a thing so yes that looks like an immediate target [14:30] Camer0n: you will need to delete a partition then make an extended partition, then make logical partitions on it. Deleting the partition will destroy the data [14:30] its going to be simple to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 when its out ? [14:30] lol okay [TK]D-Fender but I wouldnt wan't to delete one that I later find i actually need ?! [14:30] <[TK]D-Fender> Soothsayer_: probably as much as from any other release [14:30] dhaitham: do you have the windows list item add to the panel and the system tray added also [14:30] I need a good software to make a collage do you know one? [14:30] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: Do you understand the term "between a rock & a hard place"? [14:31] <[TK]D-Fender> camYuo want to move forward you will have to make a choice.

[14:32] Camer0n: window7 makes use of a boot type parittion also.. [14:32] <[TK]D-Fender> Camer0n: So you have a small OS partition and large data partition both Linux based and you still need another partition? [14:32] hmm. thanks [14:32] Camer0n: normally at the front of the HD. [14:32] my network card not working [14:32] okay...

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:34] I'll be a minute and boot into ubuntu === dragonkeeper_ is now known as DragonKeeper [14:35] okay the thing [14:35] Milhuu: define your needs.. and pick the one that suits your needs. [14:35] unity, gnome3 is okay, but not my favourite thing.. so i must change kde ?? [14:35] LTS or Not LTS ... thats the main point. [14:35] Milhuu, not here [14:36] Milhuu: use whatever desktop you want. they are easy to install. [14:36] still no joy :( How can I disable my stylus as an in put device for the desktop while keeping it visible to gimp/inkscape? [14:36] Dr_willis, i want gnome 2 [14:36] Milhuu: so your problem is what? the classic gnome is going to be in 11.04 [14:36] yes but not more in 11.10 [14:37] Milhuu: there may not even be a gnome 2 by then.. who knows.. [14:37] ok so i have to kde ?? [14:37] Milhuu: you do what you want.. you dont 'have' to do anything. [14:37] i want gnome 2 [14:37] but i dont get [14:37] Milhuu, thats enough [14:37] go use icewm, or lubuntu, or worry about it when it gets here. [14:37] so i have kde [14:37] ok [14:38] or keep the source so you can compile it yourself [14:38] no thats too much work [14:38] I imagine gnome2 will get backported if its not in the repos.. [14:38] or ppa's for some time. [14:38] Milhuu, this is not the proper place for this [14:38] ok come all to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:38] backports [14:38] * Dr_Willis goes back to using LXDE [14:39] Is there a way to associate a shortcut (such as using gloobus-preview with a space bar... How do I do that?) [14:39] I'm not finding anything on google to help me :( [14:39] if I wanted an external harddrive to only be mountable for certain users, how would I make that happen? [14:39] i need some help. im trying to boot meerkat from tge cd, but it just hangs at the splash screen. any suggestions? [14:40] slipkid08: whats your vidoe chipset? have you tried the nomodeset option? [14:40] i cant even get to the live menu to do that [14:41] slipkid08: the nomodeset options would be befor the Plymouth ubuntu..... screen.. [14:41] Hit space (i think) when theres a little man at the bottom of the scrren [14:41] I think its a man.. and a keyboard.. some sort of icons.. [14:41] ok. is your name steven by chance? [14:42] very very early when it starts booting the cd. [14:42] WXZ: what filesystem? theres a user option for mountpoints.. but not sure about limiting it to specific users. [14:42] Dr_Willis: I'm not sure what you mean by filesystem [14:43] you mean NTFS, ext4 etc.? [14:43] my professors name is steven willis is why im asking. so hit spacebar when the littl man pops up? [14:43] WXZ: NTFS, Ext2/3/4, vfat. [14:43] NTFS [14:43] thats the filesystem.. yes [14:43] it's an NTFS external hdd [14:43] WXZ: you may want to check the ntfs-3g docs/faq/homepage. If you want a SINGLE user able to access it.. that could be doable via the UID/GID options perhaps. [14:44] WXZ: but if you want just 3 users (for example) and not these other 3 to access it.. that may be harder. [14:44] Dr_Willis: does ubottu have a link to the docs? [14:44] !ntfs-3g [14:44] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [14:44] WXZ: or hit google for the ntfs-3g homepage for their faq. [14:44] gonna try spacebar rught now. we'll see [14:44] man ntfs-3g also :) [14:45] i got to the install welcome menu [14:46] ok i got the live cd to boot, how do i force install from here [14:46] Dr_Willis: As for my previous question about the collage: picassa looks great but do you know what program can i use to make a collage that is built up from many pictures where every picture is a pixel and all pictures create one specific image ( sry about the English) === archet454 is now known as itilious2 [14:47] usually it just hangs when i go to install [14:47] nylon100: gimp [14:47] sudo apt-get install gimp [14:47] hi. i'm using screen in bash to work on different folders and for some reason, vim behaves differently within screen. after closing a vim editor in a screen, the bash log isn't displayed like it is on a regular bash session.

[15:01] Dr_Willis, http://www.tatadocomo.com/3g-e-stick.aspx maybe this might help [15:01] there is not too much info with customer support guys for ubuntu [15:01] baldaris: wont help me much :) ive never used one.

[15:16] intick: luckily there is not something like that on linux [15:16] iceroot, lol luckily! :-D [15:17] intick, depends on the language you want to do as well. [15:17] I got the Creative X-Fi drivers installed but now my mic is either not working at all or just repeating what I'm hearing in teamspeak. Any ideas? [15:17] how can i stream music/video over a linux network (no windows pcs involved) [15:17] exit [15:17] DragonKeeper: vlc can do that easily [15:17] DragonKeeper, There are lots of different ways. It depends on how you want ot have the other machines access it. [15:18] DragonKeeper: Music = shoutcast, isecast, mpd... [15:18] *ice.. [15:18] DragonKeeper, There are lots of web apps, you can use upnp, samba, sftp, etc. [15:18] Hi , i am getting bitmaps error, when i start my application .. more logs @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/596533/..can some one please help ? [15:18] erm is it possible to get the HDD mounted on a remote pc [15:18] DragonKeeper, Yes, that's very easy. And a few different ways you can do it [15:19] DragonKeeper, the easiest way I think is to use samba. Or sftp. If you turn on ssh you can mount any location from the remote machine and bookmark it in ubuntu [15:19] avinashhm: I'm pretty sure thats a windows application and not a linux application [15:20] DragonKeeper: tsclient has an option, but i think it lasts only while the remote session is active [15:20] genii-around, its trac32 .. its for linux ... basically has windows and linux , i have downloaded linux edition . [15:20] s/trac32/trace32 [15:20] hi [15:20] hmm samba i tried but it didnt work i just got errors [15:21] DragonKeeper, if your just doing the normal ubuntu desktop thing you can mount anything you can ssh too. That's a very easy way to do it [15:21] windows 7 has it if you drag an ap to the edge of the horizontal parts of the screen then it changes the size and location of the app window... is that how do you do that in ubuntu? [15:21] DragonKeeper, In ubuntu click on the "places -> Connect to Server" You can choose ssh or samba or whatever from there. [15:21] i exdecuted rm -Rf ~/.Trash/* to empty my trash, because the icon, trash icon, is gone, how do I make sure i have cleaned my trash? [15:22] I'd suggest you try ssh sense it doesn't really require any setup other than making sure you've done "apt-get install ssh" [15:22] kpettit ubuntu is the machine i want to stream from a different linux used to stream to [15:22] leapy0yo, depends on the desktop... kde-plasma has this behaviour as default [15:22] hihihi100: that is not the trash-dir [15:23] just make sure the machine you want to connect to has ssh. Then on the ubuntu machine you want to connect from Click on "Places -> Connect to server" [15:23] you can even bookmark it [15:23] iceroot, so what did I do? [15:23] hihihi100: ~/.local/share/Trash/ [15:23] Abhijit: actually it's a small database extraction ASPX or PHP with VB scrips [15:23] hihihi100: dont use rm on that dir [15:23] DragonKeeper, that's how I connect to my local and remote Linux machiens to get files, edit stuff, etc. [15:23] hello! [15:23] iceroot, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/empty-ubuntu-gnome-trash-from-the-command-line.html [15:23] hihihi100: there are also info-files for the trash [15:23] kpettit ok ill try that [15:23] hihihi100: from 2006 [15:23] Abhijit: and Mysql ofc [15:23] hihihi100: changed since hardy to the path i said [15:24] DragonKeeper, just make sur eyou have ssh installed. Then in the file manager on or the desktop choose the "connect to server" option. [15:24] intick, no then there is no such app for linux. but you can program in .net using mono. also if you are just looking for that vb 'style' software then try gambas. there is also qtmaker and glade for gui making. [15:24] i use ubuntu 11.04 beta2 updated. How can i make the gnome-panels to do not strt any panel on startup. Because i use awn as default panel. ? [15:24] yedek_p2: #ubuntu+1 [15:24] DragonKeeper, and if you don't like that you can always do ssh, upnp, ftp, nfs, etc. There are a bunch of different ways you can connect data from one machine to another [15:24] does ubuntu have netOP remote control software? like if my guest is windows XP? [15:24] intick, though i am no expert in windows issue. you try asking in ##widows and ##programming [15:25] iceroot: ok . thank you. [15:25] JuNeX, tried teamvier?

[15:25] @Abhijit nope but i will try it now [15:25] intick, ##windows i mean [15:25] Abhijit: yes it's more about .NET so [15:25] Abhijit: mono you say ? [15:25] intick, if its .net then you can try mono [15:25] JuNeX, what is it you want the machine to do? remote control or support desk stuff? [15:26] iceroot, coul you please write the full command? Im a noob, what about rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* ? [15:26] intick, go to ubuntu software ccenter and type word mono [15:26] hihihi100: what about restoring the trash-icon and use that? [15:26] Abhijit: kk find it on synaptic i'll try it thx mate [15:26] hihihi100: using rm -rf as a "noob" is ALWAYS a bad idea [15:26] @kpettit remote & support just for my LAN network..

That ones free/opensource [15:28] iceroot, I just tried to add a trash icon to my panel, I cannot [15:28] i see. thanks! can i use that in XP too? coz my dad PC is using windows [15:29] Hey, could someone please help me?

[16:36] xangua: I just cant get zlib file loaded for my gem [16:36] Jesse088: if is not related, then why do you ask¿ [16:36] etherneteth0: upgrading to a supported version will fix it [16:36] Jesse088: visually inspect the bottom of the heatsink, does it look like there is thermal paste there? if not, add your own [16:36] Jesse088: is it hardware related? if so, check ##hardware [16:36] Is there a way to get a microphone attached to a creative X-Fi Fatal1ty with the creative drivers working?

I'm trying to reinstall burg to the mbr (it uses all the same commands as grub) [16:38] Can someone explain this error http://thebrothersink.com/tmp/ss.jpg ?

[16:40] Is there a way to get a microphone attached to a creative X-Fi Fatal1ty with the creative drivers working? [16:41] hi! [16:41] hi [16:41] do you know install Flashplayer on Ubuntu [16:41] help me! [16:41] could you cat me /etc/default/mysql ? (if you have mysql-server installed) [16:41] !flash | nhoc_t39 [16:41] nhoc_t39: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:42] yes [16:43] nhoc_t39, actually that documenation seems a little out of date [16:43] nhoc_t39, just search for "flash" in ubuntu software center, and it will come up [16:44] tazz: i could install mysql-server quickly if it's not too large [16:44] hey huys [16:45] ruan, not needed, i am sure there are people here who have mysql installed :) Thanks for the offer though. [16:45] i made a new user, for my friend, but when he connects via ssh he only sees "$" on his prompt line and no path names or anything instead of the usual "user@server-paths" stuff [16:45] what could be wrong? [16:46] Hey I got a quick question, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and every once in a while when a lot of CPU is being used, some process will fade and look like it is in shadow. How do I stop this? [16:46] hello [16:46] Theoretician: which ubuntu version [16:46] hey [16:46] LarsTorben: 10.10 [16:46] tazz: you could also ask in #mysql [16:46] ok 64 or 32 ?? kde or gnome ?? [16:46] hi kippi [16:46] LaresTorben: 32 bit, kde [16:47] ok [16:47] can i ask, i have squid on my ubuntu and if i install firestarter is it ok? it wont be conflict? [16:47] i dont know, kde is much cpu [16:47] ruan, i am pretty sure someone will get up and ask me to go to #ubuntu ;) [16:47] tazz: I have mysql server installed and I don't have that file. [16:47] I installed 11.04 and all went fine, I then did the updates yesterday and now my machine gets stuck on the ubuntu loading logo. If I boot into recovery mode it gets stuck when you get the options, anyideas? [16:47] LarsTorben: do you recommend switching to gnome? [16:47] whats your pc ? [16:47] LarsTorben: its a Dell [16:48] my pc is a pc too [16:48] memory ? ram ? Theoretician [16:48] kippi : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [16:48] the boy is a boy :) [16:48] Theoretician: the shadow thing is probably a feature in kwin similar to the one in compiz where applications that are non-responsive get dimmed [16:48] LarsTorben: Its not mine, i dont know the details about it [16:49] maco: ah, is there any way to stop it? [16:49] okay but do you know how old is it ? Theoretician [16:49] Theoretician: to stop the dimming or the non-responsiveness of the application? [16:49] LarsTorben: maybe 5 years? [16:49] maco: just the dimming [16:49] i would recommend switch du lXDE lubuntu Theoretician [16:49] du = to [16:50] Theoretician: let me check my settings [16:50] LarsTorben: i have a 5 year old laptop running 11.04 Kubuntu just fine [16:50] LarsTorben: ok, thanks [16:50] LarsTorben: er no 10.10. didnt upgrade that one yet [16:50] the 3 year old is on 11.04 [16:50] on a 10.10.0.1 subnet what is the "/24" mean [16:50] maco and ?? [16:51] i meant Theoretician [16:51] LarsTorben: 5 years ain't that old? [16:51] pentester5746: 10.10.0.1 is not a subnet [16:51] MACO: yes. [16:51] its very very old [16:52] ayecee: ok i am setting up openvpn, what would be a good subnet to not interfere with 192.168.XXX.XXX [16:52] pentester5746: it may be an ip address WITHIN a 10.10.0.0/24 subnet [16:52] LarsTorben: I disagree. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 20 year old computer my dad built from scratch and it works fine [16:52] Hello all. How can I check which version of ubutnu that I have? [16:52] Elirips: lsb_version [16:52] oops [16:52] LarsTorben: tell that to my pentium 2 that only finally kicked the bucket in december [16:53] 20 years ?!?!? [16:53] Neoti: Can!version | Elirips [16:53] lsb release something [16:53] i dont think so [16:53] !version [16:53] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:53] !version | Elirips [16:53] Elirips: please see above [16:53] LarsTorben: yeah. It is ancient [16:53] Theoretician: im not sure where the setting is, sorry. i normally have desktop effects turned off [16:53] maco: ok thanks anyway [16:53] Will the next version of ubuntu ship Gnome3? [16:53] Theoretician: poke around in system settings -> desktop effects, i guess [16:53] nmvictor: it won't ship it, but it may allow it to be installed [16:53] nmvictor: No it won't, it uses Unity or a fall back of gnome 2 [16:54] Thank you! Nowthat I see that I have 10.04, how to upgrade to 10.10? [16:54] maco: ok, will do [16:54] can i ask, i have squid on my ubuntu and if i install firestarter is it ok? it wont be conflict? [16:54] !upgrade | Elirips [16:54] Elirips: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:54] Elirips: you don't have to upgrade yet though [16:54] omg [16:54] Theoretician: there are a few effects that involve dimming windows. turning off excessive effects will get you more responsiveness too, as will turning off system settings -> desktop search [16:55] maco: ok, I will poke around and try some things [16:55] Elirips: It's *just* me (and some for others) that we prefer clean installation over upgrades. You're on LTS (10.04) so you don't have to upgrade for more than a year. [16:55] DJones: Haa, unity? I hear it doesnt support Compiz? Is that still the case, if so I'd rather fall back to Gnome 2 or rely on HOWTOs to get Gnome 3 work(if ever) [16:55] also, 11.04 is coming up really soon [16:55] pretty sure compiz works in unity [16:56] which was the argument against gnome shell, as gnome shell didnt support compiz originally [16:56] ruan, red2kic, I hope, that in 10.10 the package python-scipy is a little bit newer..

[17:01] there isn't an official multiarch image [17:02] ruan: Apparently it mean ISO for disc and IMG for usb. [17:02] iqpi: Are you asking about an Ubuntu cd image? or just in general? === carlos is now known as Guest12762 [17:05] Pici: in general, i know that ubuntu images are not hibrid (or i think so) [17:08] could be its a APPLE and nonapple iso/disk.

[17:09] Does anyone know how to completely flush all static ip routes from 10.04? (I've tried {ip route del ipaddr dev ipaddr dev eth0} but it just repopulates with old routes moments later) [17:09] it only works when I amplify the receiver all the way, and even then it's very weak [17:10] andrea_: try the alsa-mixer program and be sure all the sliders are slid up perhaps. [17:10] or was it alsamixer [17:10] alsamixer [17:10] alsamixer [17:10] I'm trying to get the title of "gnome-terminal" to display the host of servers; even when I am ssh'd into other machines [17:11] Vizzl3, im pretty sure you have to remove them from /etc/network/interface otherwise they'll get added back in automatically [17:11] tyler_d: you would need to set the bash prompt to send the proper escape codes I belive. [17:11] really? [17:11] tyler_d: if you are sshing - then the prompt for the sshed box would be sending the coded. [17:11] tyler_d: check the bash prompt howto at tldp.org :) === wangyang0123 is now known as firedfox [17:12] If theres any other way to do it.. i dont know of it tyler_d [17:12] How to move a logical partition out of extended partition?

[17:14] tyler_d: under command only Update login records.... is checkecked [17:14] I mean a program that I run on the terminal, like "top" [17:14] pfifo, are you referring to system-->pref-->network connections gui?

Thanks a lot, any help would be appriciate [17:17] not succes [17:17] Vizzl3, Ive always found that program to trump anything i do with ip, resolv.conf and interfaces. Perhaps try adjusting your settings there or remove it from your system [17:18] Is there a way to download a great number of ubuntu packages and install them locally? [17:18] I don't have a stable internet connection... [17:18] pfifo, if i just delete these two listings form network connections, it'll work? [17:19] Vizzl3, im not sure, i always opt to remove the entire thing when its not doing what I want, so dont really know alot about it.

I'm creating a digital board game about the Open Source and I need help to create the questions. Someone want help me? It's a cool project ;) [17:22] galeon: I can only download stuff in an internet cafe where I can't run arbitrary linux scripts [17:22] thedoot00: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:23] How i can make my tar file into pieces of 15G each one? [17:23] thedoot00: the awesome brains in #ubuntu-offtopic may be able to help. [17:23] thedoot00: You would probably be better off to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic , this channel is primarily for support [17:23] chegibari: You may update the package list using your own internet connection, download the packages from another computer, then copy them to cache. You may edit the script to create a batch script for Windows. [17:24] thanks guys [17:24] chegibari: You may still use wget for Windows. [17:24] I'll check it out [17:24] ModFather, check out the program "split" [17:25] I tried using Alsa, pulseAudio, and the standard volume control, and I can only get the mic to work slightly. Does anyone know what might be wrong [17:26] say whats the command for finding out a version? [17:26] in thermanal [17:26] pfifo, delete from synatpic package manager? [17:26] andrea_, check your input controls, should be an option for it in the gui, if not, run alsamixer and press tab [17:27] galeon: ah it's a wget script. I may try that then. Thank! [17:27] Vizzl3, yes, i think its spt-get remover gnome-network-applet [17:27] hi! i have an hp laptop. using ubuntu 10.04. it has a subwoofer. how can i test if the subwoofer is working or not? [17:27] galeon: there are no big images with extra packages to download? [17:27] chegibari: By the way, the cache is in /var/cache/apt/archives, I also used to do that. [17:27] Vizzl3, apt-get remove gnome-network-applet === Nextop is now known as Guest37020 [17:27] does anyone know the command to configure snmpd without manually editing the file? [17:27] For ubuntu, as far as I know, none. [17:27] pfifo the input sliders in all three programs are all the way up [17:28] galeon: ok. thanks for all the tips [17:28] theos: crank up the bass, i would imagine. [17:28] say whats the command for finding out a version a program is in the termanal? [17:28] andrea_, no idea then, that always worked for me. [17:28] Bluebill-Wolf: usually programname --ver [17:28] sipior, well the bass can be heard from other speakers too :D cant identify [17:28] trying to use isomaster, and upon trying to load an iso, it says "Failed to read directory tree: 'No posix extensions found'" now.. i'm guessing that means i need to install something to enable this [17:28] ModFather: Alternatively http://paulbradley.tv/44/ [17:28] but i can't seem to find anything. anyone have any input on this? [17:29] * Bluebill-Wolf nods thanks [17:29] pfifo do you how I do I find out what sound card /driver I have [17:29] pfifo, i don't have that package installed [17:29] I'm about to upgrade from Hardy to Natty, keeping my /home. Should I wipe out the config files from the home directories? If so, will "rm -rf /home/*/.*" do the trick? [17:30] Andre_Gondim, `lspci` will give you the chipset and `lsmod` will tell you the module name [17:30] theos: put your hand in front of the subwoofer, and crank up the bass until you can feel the air move. [17:30] andrea_, `lspci` will give you the chipset and `lsmod` will tell you the module name [17:30] Bluebill-Wolf: You may also need to use "--version" or "--help", depending on the program. [17:30] trying to edit an ISO.. no idea how, anyone know of a program or a way to do this? [17:30] * Bluebill-Wolf nods [17:30] sipior, i tried doing it but could feel nothing [17:31] couldnt* [17:31] d1gital: That I think is not necessarily reqiured, I would rather keep all and delete only specific bits.. [17:31] mordof, acetoniso [17:31] andrea_, in alsamixer F6 will show you a list of souncard(s) [17:31] *acetoneiso [17:31] is playonlinux better then wine when useing programs? [17:31] atlef: that allows you to modify the contents? [17:31] mordof: There is also isomaster [17:32] galeon: trying to use that, but i'm getting an error i can't figure out [17:32] andrea_, also press F5 to show all available sliders [17:32] Vizzl3, then im probbally getting the name wrong dpkg -l will give you the list of installed packages [17:32] galeon: tells me no posix extensions found when i try and open an iso [17:32] Bluebill-Wolf, I would guess close to the same thing... one for games specifically [17:32] Bluebill-Wolf: It is a wrapper for wine, so may simplify configuration somewhat. [17:32] * Bluebill-Wolf nods [17:32] tjiggi_fo the Gnome alsa mixer is not responding to F% or F^ [17:32] tjiggi_fo the Gnome alsa mixer is not responding to F5 or F6* [17:33] andrea_, no open a terminal type alsamixer [17:33] Bluebill-Wolf - depends on what programs your looking to run, for games with a native installer, doom3 quake 4 etc yes, but it uses wine for other programs such as office etc. [17:33] andrea_, they hit F6 [17:33] andrea_, what coz_ said [17:33] i was thinking along the lines of the game "shark attack" === nmerker_ is now known as nmerker [17:35] all my audio card says is HDA Intel without a specific name, can that be right [17:35] Bluebill-Wolf: Don't know about that game off the top of my head, and I cant find it in the winehq site so i would suggest trying it with wine yourself and reporting to winehq if it works or what does and doesnt work. [17:36] you got it [17:36] . . . it says its missing a libary [17:36] one moment i'll post the messge [17:36] mordof: is that error always shows up in all iso files you tried to open? [17:36] andrea_, you don't have "default"? [17:36] galeon: yep [17:37] galeon: well, i'll try something considerably different and see [17:37] mordof: have you tried it with other programs? [17:37] minion35: i don't know of any other programs that can modify an iso [17:37] minion35: i've used the iso for burning/mounting and installing in a VM though - if you're wondering if it's corrupted, it's not [17:37] it works [17:38] mordof: Had you tried reinstalling isomaster? [17:38] pfifo, i found four listings: one network manager framework daemon, gnome frontend, pptp plugin and pptp plugin/gnome ui) i take it the daemon needs to be deleted along with the other three? [17:38] hmm [17:38] galeon: a different iso opens :\ that's rediculous [17:39] galeon: an iso without a bootable section mind you - and a windows one at that [17:39] is it dangerous to install applications via apt-get where there is a warning about security. i'm talking about codecs for dvd, mp3 and other items not supported by ubuntu? [17:39] hi! i have an hp laptop. using ubuntu 10.04. it has a subwoofer. how can i test if the subwoofer is working or not?

[18:21] you mean ctually no changer in the actual hard drive file sytem would happen [18:21] on ext3 [18:21] Kage: Debian is nice. You get that gnome-desktop environment with slightly few more packages. [18:21] ThinkT510: I do to, but even the home directory gets dirty after awhile [18:21] ubuntu: you can access ntfs partitions but you can't install onto ntfs [18:21] Kage: Dirty? As in too many .hidden folders? [18:21] red2kic: yes [18:22] for example [18:22] but with windows he will make a file inside it is ext3 [18:22] and too much in Downloads/ [18:22] read and write? [18:22] ubuntu: yes, with ntfs-3g [18:22] Kage: Heh. If you have the folders exposed, you get the mentality of dirty folders. Sure, clean them out every 6 months, not every day.

[18:26] red2kic: yes, even gentoo [18:26] for 6 months [18:26] Kage: You compiled everything or you used some kind of LiveCD? [18:27] Kage: heh only ever used *buntus and arch properly the rest i used dumped in less than 1 hour, i found arch was all i needed [18:27] red2kic: until I relized I compiled things more then I used my computer [18:27] red2kic: I compiled everything [18:27] is there any way to change how many entries the run dialogue keeps? (alt+f2) i dug around gconf and couldn't find anything [18:27] any reason this is being discussed in #ubuntu rather than #ubuntu-offtopic ? [18:27] Kage: that explains a bit, slack and arch tend not to hide configuration and actively encourage it, much like the bsds, but gentoo should have taught you quite a bit [18:27] ikonia, probably cause 'ubuntu-offtopic' is too long to type to join :p [18:27] Greetings, I'm trying to a "cp -R -p /* /media/newdisc/" to move the ubuntu installation to another drive, and i get: "preserving permissions for `/media/SYS/dev/sr0': Operation not supported" Any suggestions ?

[19:07] ty [19:07] hi, I install xp then i install the ubuntu but in the grub loader it is not showing the xp.how can i resolve this problem?

I seem to have misplaced my CTRL+C binding. It doesn't do anything anymore - but simply highlighting text will copy it. How can I restore the Copy key binding? [20:01] JeroenM: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [20:01] does anyone know what manages the mounts under /media? [20:01] KINGOFSWORDS: you may find it mentioned in /etc/grub.d/40_custom if it is, comment it out then run: sudo update-grub [20:02] pluc: is this all over the desktop or just one app? [20:02] hi [20:02] atpa8a: udisks I believe [20:03] maco: let me test [20:03] what is this new chromium-browser-l10n? [20:03] hallo [20:03] The highlighting-text-goes-in-the-clipboard is all over [20:03] CTRL+C seems to work in xchat though [20:03] ActionParsnip: fuse thing? [20:03] whats the difference between "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" and just running a "partiall upgrade" in update manager ? [20:03] pluc: highlight to copy and middle click to paste is a feature on *all* Linux distros [20:03] crescendo: its a language pack according to dpkg [20:04] computer janitor just list unused programs? [20:04] pluc: ok so which app isnt letting you ctrl+C? [20:04] maco: I don't middle click. I just select text and it goes in my clipboard, replacing whatever I had. [20:04] KINGOFSWORDS: it should list extra kernels too [20:04] maco: Chrome [20:04] pluc: if you middle click, you can paste what you've highlighted ;-) [20:04] nah [20:04] atpa8a: not sure, I know udisks will be involved [20:04] Is there a way to tell grub to remove an entry everytime update-grub is used? Like when I don't want Windows to be added to the boot menu? [20:04] oh... dbus thing [20:04] gkdebi sais there is a dependencie problem: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.11.0) does it mean this package must be over this version or lower?? [20:04] maco: Well actually, it could be because I was trying to paste content of my clipboard over a selection [20:04] googleearth and 2 ia32 files what ever they are [20:04] maco: what do you call that feature? I really like that feature [20:05] cybrhuman: it's X's clipboard. i call it mouse-paste [20:05] ActionParsnip: just wondering if it's a good idea to make my own mounts under that [20:05] atpa8a: if you want, sure :) [20:05] Is there a way to tell grub to remove an entry everytime update-grub is used? Like when I don't want Windows to be added to the boot menu? [20:06] pluc: mouse & keyboard buffer are supposed to be two separate ones (ie, you can copy one thing with the keyboard and another thing with the mouse and choose which to paste based on which you use for the pasting. i find this handy) === mang0|BEACH is now known as mang09 [20:06] ActionParsnip: i hope it's not like autofs tho :P [20:06] pluc: so trying to paste over highlighted text should work === mang09 is now known as mang0 [20:06] pluc: i'm not really sure how Chromium handles keyboard shortcut stuff though :-/ i know in gnome apps you can turn on a setting where you're able to reset the shortcuts, which is what i was thinking you might have done [20:07] maco: I understand what you're saying, but say I'm writing a blog post and I want to paste my clipboard over a selected sentence... I can't, because the selected sentence goes straight in my clipboard [20:07] pluc: do you have a clipboard manager in use? [20:07] maco: Yes, Parcellite [20:07] pluc: because there should basically be two "slots" where copied stuff are stored, and the highlighted stuff should go into a different slot than the ctrl+c stuff. it shouldnt overwrite [20:08] maco: let me try something. [20:08] pluc: hmm i havent used that one. does it list the last few things you copied? [20:08] ok guys im getting nowhere with this [20:08] KINGOFSWORDS: dpkg -l linux-image* [20:08] ActionParsnip: thanks! [20:08] KINGOFSWORDS: "sudo apt-get remove " then the ones with the lowest version numbers [20:08] maco: Fixed it by disabling "Use Primary (Selection)" in Parcellite. Thanks!! [20:08] KINGOFSWORDS: for old kernels stuff. i dont know about windows [20:09] pluc: ooooh! the "combine both into one buffer" feature [20:09] KINGOFSWORDS: You may also use Ubuntu Tweak if you only want to remove old kernels [20:09] maco: exactly [20:09] galeon: we don't tend to recommend that here.... it does things a bit dangerously [20:09] galeon: not quite automatix but... [20:09] i dont understand all this kernels stuff [20:10] u just want to dual boot xp but have win7 and vista stopping me [20:10] sorry for that, but I do use apt-get to remove kernels [20:10] galeon: you don't need to use ubuntu-tweak to remove kernels [20:10] galeon: oh so do i. its ubuntu tweak that i was referring to [20:11] what subuntu tweak [20:11] For removing old kernels, I just use the Software Center. [20:11] KINGOFSWORDS: you should not use it [20:11] KINGOFSWORDS: a dangerous piece of software [20:11] KINGOFSWORDS: it is not needed [20:11] yes, I mean I use apt-get, but he's having problems in using it so I recommended a GUI. Sorry for that [20:11] omg [20:11] !ubuntutweak [20:11] Ubuntu Tweak is a tool that automates some things; however, it is potentially dangerous an informal review of its code is pending and most of the things it does can be done by the use of other tools. Please don't ask for or provide support for it in #ubuntu. [20:11] KINGOFSWORDS: so is the thing you're trying to change A) that there are lots of ubuntu's listed or B) that there are lots of windows listed? [20:11] how can i get S3TC right now, on mesa? [20:11] im gonna end up in a mental hospistala this rate [20:11] Hi KINGOFSWORDS [20:11] galeon: So suggest Software Center. It's the GUI to apt-get (more-or-less) [20:12] i've heard talk about that it is in external library but i can't find it... [20:12] KINGOFSWORDS: whats the problem? (or maybe i've missed it).. no need to go to a mental hospital over it [20:12] theres wins7 listed(which isnt there) and theres windows vista somewhere which i dont want [20:12] Sorry, I haven't thought of that. [20:12] Neither did I. [20:12] hi [20:13] i want to install game..doesnt work in wine so i partitioned and installed win7(which is crap) so now i try xp but it wont boot from cd or get rid of win7 [20:13] Mamaaloo: hi [20:13] KINGOFSWORDS: So, it's not kernels for Linux that you want to remove? [20:13] hi mekeor [20:13] how are you [20:13] galeon: Yeah, just search "linux-header" in the Software Center and just leave the ones you want (obviously don't remove what you're using) [20:13] now i just want to format windows partition so theres nothing on there [20:13] KINGOFSWORDS: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [20:13] Mamaaloo: thx, good. you? [20:13] ikonia: its the grub config [20:13] no..i got no idea what kernels do [20:13] ok me too hehe [20:13] KINGOFSWORDS: have you tried using Gparted to format the windows partition? [20:14] ikonia: oh nevermind [20:14] yeh gparted formats it in like 3 seconds [20:14] KINGOFSWORDS: your windows cd refusing to boot isn't a problem we can help with [20:14] and win7 is still in boot menu [20:14] im not asking bout win cd [20:14] hello [20:14] KINGOFSWORDS: did you run sudo update-grub after you formatted the windows partition? [20:14] im asking about formating win partition thru ubuntu [20:15] KINGOFSWORDS: you said you've done it [20:15] yeh did update-grub cmd [20:15] KINGOFSWORDS: what's the problem now ? [20:15] KINGOFSWORDS: It seems your problem is not in Ubuntu. Windows XP CD will sometimes not boot if there are partitions it cannot read (like EXT4). [20:15] win7 is still there [20:15] hi ikonia [20:15] KINGOFSWORDS: is that a problem at the moment ? [20:15] or at least in options [20:15] today I tried to to install 10.04 at lenovo new B560 and getting problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/767455 [20:15] Ubuntu bug 767455 in Ubuntu "Lenovo B560 touchpad and internal microphone issues " [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:15] win7 is still in my boot menu [20:15] galeon: He's not asking about the CD. He's seeing he wiped the partition but Win7 is still in his GRUB boot menu,. [20:16] +bug 767455 [20:16] i dont care about windows...hope i never have to use it again in my life [20:16] KINGOFSWORDS: stop typing for a minute. [20:16] But I thought its already removed? [20:16] KINGOFSWORDS: did you run: sudo update-grub ? [20:17] yeh sudo update-grub and rebooted and still in menu [20:18] KINGOFSWORDS: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [20:18] now sudo update-grub ..cmd not found [20:18] KINGOFSWORDS: Are you sure that the Windows partitions no longer exists? Grub shouldn't be able to add it to the boot menu if the partition is no longer there? [20:18] "there." rather [20:18] jordan /dev/sda2:Windows7 (loader):Windows:chain [20:19] maybe sudo apt-get update-grub [20:19] KINGOFSWORDS: did you format the partition or delete it? [20:19] KINGOFSWORDS: Then you still have a Windows partition. Specifically /dev/sda2 [20:19] hiexpo: there's no such command [20:19] invalid operation update-grub [20:19] maco, i know was goofing [20:19] formatted it b4 and then deleted [20:20] KINGOFSWORDS: can you do "sudo fdisk -l" and put that on paste.ubuntu.com ? [20:20] hiexpo: goofing when someone is having a problem and others are trying to help is not helpful. [20:20] IdleOne, kk [20:20] erm im on differnt pc so will take while to type out [20:20] hiexpo: thank you :) [20:20] IdleOne, yeppers [20:20] since the newest batch of updates has anyone noticed anything weird about java and CPU usage ... laptop went through a massive slow down, ran top and java was apparently at 200% [20:21] #ubuntu es [20:21] samm: /join #ubuntu-es [20:21] KINGOFSWORDS: well can you tell us the /dev/ names then at least? like /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 etc?

My U10.10 has 2 user accounts (my wife and I), and we switch back and forth. When she puts her USB in, it mounts, but when I switch to my account, it says "Unable to mount " in a popup - and vice versa. [20:27] KINGOFSWORDS: then w to commit the changes [20:27] ok so which partition number? [20:27] and by "it says", I mean I'm literally immediately greeted by a popup after logging in. [20:27] ok [20:27] KINGOFSWORDS: you can do "p" before "w" to have it print out what its gonna do [20:27] command (*m for help): [20:27] why unable to mount USB [20:27] what p and w? [20:28] KINGOFSWORDS: p is print, w is write (ie save) [20:28] KINGOFSWORDS: if you hit "m" like it says, it'll list these [20:28] ok should i p then? [20:28] KINGOFSWORDS: if youd like to check what it did, sure [20:28] did both [20:29] KINGOFSWORDS: and p shows sda2 being gone? [20:29] ahhh yeh [20:29] but surely it take like 20 mins to delete a partition? [20:29] KINGOFSWORDS: ok so now the partition should actually be deleted. so do the 'sudo update-grub' again [20:30] KINGOFSWORDS: nahh a low-level format takes a while, but deleting a partition is just removing a pointer to its starting/ending blocks [20:30] KINGOFSWORDS: its like crossing out a line in the index of a book [20:30] why my ubuntu 10.04 is unable to mount USB [20:30] ok.....building a new sun disklabel.......

[20:36] aye [20:36] so I can't use the aMD64 distro right? [20:36] iamaham: AMd invented/designed the 64 bit extensions to x86 so they've got to name it [20:37] confused [20:37] AMD* [20:37] so which one should I use? know it's a 64bit cpu [20:37] iamaham: IA-64 is an entirely different architecture from AMD64. Intel's current 64 bit chips use the AMD64 architecture, also sometimes called X86-64. [20:37] amd64 or the 32bit regular version [20:37] iamaham: both AMD and Intel implement the amd64 arch in their chips [20:37] iamaham: how much RAM have you got? [20:37] iamaham: if you want to use 64 bits use the mad64 iso's [20:37] so it the Xeon and AMD64 or IA-64 based chipset?

[21:20] Docfxit: that is strange [21:20] Docfxit, something is really strange then. try rebooting I guess [21:20] cybrhuman: no, I was hopping to get a howto similar to he one for ethernet... [21:20] How do I stop Ubuntu from asking for a keyring password on startup? [21:21] cybrhuman: does wicd requires x? [21:21] brightspark I'll try that. [21:21] Nzaw4, try installing playonlinux , and run steam from there. [21:21] P4C0: wicd-curses has a nice curses tool. nope, works fine in terminal [21:21] isnt playonlinux a front end for wine?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:22] maco and jordan are yhou still here...only just back online [21:23] my question is can help me [21:23] 10.10 is maverick right? [21:23] KINGOFSWORDS: yes i am [21:23] * Nzaw4 blushes [21:23] lol [21:23] PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its features yet it keeps the user from having to deal with its complexity [21:23] Gurke_: the answer is that no one can until you describe your problem. [21:23] sorry couldnt get online with that pc and had problems on this 1 [21:23] nzaw4 yes [21:23] ok my problem is about with ubuntu [21:23] KINGOFSWORDS: ok well did you save the contents of that computer's terminal to a file? [21:23] win7 is still in the boot menu [21:24] no dont know how [21:24] kawohi: Did you changed your password? [21:24] KINGOFSWORDS: copy and paste? [21:24] oh yej [21:24] NO, its been the same. [21:24] but i can use up arrow to do cmds again [21:24] KINGOFSWORDS: did you already reboot that computer? [21:25] yeh [21:25] and its working ok, just the same problem with the menu? [21:25] anyway that partition is back aswell.....sda2 hpfs/ntfs [21:25] Gurke_: you will still need to describe the problem. [21:25] yep same problem [21:26] KINGOFSWORDS: and you *did* do the "w" when in fdisk? [21:27] w was write? [21:27] yeh did that [21:27] after p [21:27] KINGOFSWORDS: hmm thats....weird [21:27] did you work out what sun disk label was for? [21:28] I have a Samba share mapped and my password changed. When I try to connect to it now I get the message "Could not open location..." and no opportunity to put in my new password. [21:28] How do I fix this? [21:28] KINGOFSWORDS: sun disklabel wouldve been creating an entirely new partition table and would have happened if you used teh "s" command in fdisk. if the sun disklabel thing had actually gone through you wouldnt have been able to boot though. but your fdisk changes seem not to have taken effect at all. [21:28] nah [21:29] hrmm, when i run Playonlinux, it says my 3d acceltor is not enabled, where do i enable it? [21:29] maybe i have a corrupt install of ubuntu [21:29] kawohi: I also have the same problem before, but it is because I changed my password. Gnome should be able to unlock the keyring, but it will ask for one if its password is not the same as the user's password. [21:29] Nzaw4: have you installed drivers for your gfx card? [21:29] cybrhuman: yes i do nvidia [21:30] shall i just reinstall ubuntu fro the beginning? [21:30] after setting up ubuntu ssh server/client with key access should i move the key id_sda to a different place? [21:30] Nzaw4: silly question coming up: the proprietary one? [21:30] or does that not really make a difference in security? [21:30] KINGOFSWORDS: if you were going to blow away the whole disk and start over for a xp/ubuntu dual boot, youd want to do xp before ubuntu [21:30] this is my kernel sudo apt-get install playonlinux [21:31] hello [21:31] ok, this is crazy, I need documentation, where can I get documentation?? I need to set up an ethernet card and a wifi card... both up at the same time... wicd shuts me down the ethernet when i connect to the wireless and it doesn't start at boot (even if I check the start automatically checkbox)... is there any documentation about this?? ubuntu server 10.04 [21:31] itilious: that shouldnt make a difference. the ~/.ssh is only readable by the owner and ssh will refuse connections if this is not the case [21:31] err i have the 260.19.06 nvidia kernel installed [21:31] but i cant install xp so wouldnt work [21:31] P4C0: use /etc/network/interfaces instead of wicd [21:31] P4C0: man 5 interfaces [21:31] ty maco [21:31] is ubuntu 11.04 stablee ?? [21:31] kawohi: If that's what you did, go to System -> Preferences -> Passwords and Encryption Keys. Right-click on "Passwords: Login" then "Change Password", then put your old and new password, then re-login. [21:32] thanks maco [21:32] Gurke_: no [21:32] Gurke_: not til next week [21:32] i know its not stable but is it usuable [21:32] or too buggy [21:32] Gurke_: oh yes, i find it quite usable, but discussion of it belongs in #ubuntu+1 [21:32] Gurke_: also, i'm a kde user, so i have no idea about unity's usability at this point ;-) [21:32] P4C0: I would let wicd handle wifi, because I am not hardcore enough to do it manually, but I tend to let the default handle the ethernet [21:32] me too kde [21:33] P4C0: but maco seems better than me at this :P [21:33] cybrhuman: its actually not difficult to make the interfaces file handle even wpa [21:33] Oh yeah, the wireless network doesn't have the same password. [21:33] cybrhuman: it's ok, I think debian's documentation will do... [21:33] cybrhuman: just add in wpa-ssid linksys \n wpa-psk yourpasswordhere [21:34] cybrhuman: then it automatically handles all the talking-to-wpasupplicant junk for you :) [21:34] maco: oh, joy, then I can get rid of these flimsy tools! [21:34] maco: hmmm I prefer to handle the password in wpa_supplicant... encrypted [21:35] P4C0: i didnt think wpa_supplicant's config file had encryption... but you can set the interfaces file to be 600 permissions. it doesnt need to be world-readable (just is by default) [21:35] maco: wpa_passphrase essid password [21:36] hi, how can i have root permissions all the time? [21:36] so thats it...nothing i can do? [21:36] alishah: log in as root [21:36] alishah: that would be a bad idea, though. [21:37] KINGOFSWORDS: you could reinstall if you like and tell ubuntu to take the whole the drive. thatd clear out all partitions [21:37] but ill lose all my files [21:37] KINGOFSWORDS: When fdisk asked for a partition number, did you put 2? [21:38] hi [21:38] yep [21:38] http://www.tomshardware.com/news/the-oatmeal-how-to-fix-computer,12618.html [21:39] woops, wrong channel. [21:39] my question is can help me [21:39] im gonna throw pc out of windows [21:39] KM0201, lol [21:40] nit-wit: didn't mean to put it here, but it does have a certain nerd humor that will appeal to a lot of folks here.. :) === bigblaq is now known as blaq [21:40] KM0201: appreciated :D [21:40] KINGOFSWORDS: Try using Disk Utility on that computer to delete the partition. [21:41] hello [21:41] Gurke_: what is the problem? [21:42] just bought new hardware and i'm unable to boot. am i right for some help here? [21:42] Guest20105: we can give it a try :) [21:42] argh stupid playonlinux [21:42] hehe allright. [21:42] typed disk utility into terminal and choose number 2 [21:42] wine crashes, nothing loads [21:42] what do now? [21:42] Guest20105: the machine booted before the hw-upgrade? [21:43] command? [21:43] it's a completely new machine. i purchased a HP 8200 elite [21:43] therefore, to answer your question: no :P [21:43] KINGOFSWORDS: System -> Administration -> Disk Utility [21:43] Nzaw4: to tell teh truth I am secretly a windows user when it comes to games [21:43] cybrhuman: me too, i just want to ditch windows, and run my steam and also photoschop [21:43] ok [21:43] then i can walk away from windows entirely [21:43] hi i have isses to connect to internet with my alfa awso36h [21:44] i can connect but after 3, 4 seconds the coonection is down [21:44] Guest20105: ok, and you want to boot a install disk/usb stick? [21:44] im using bt4 [21:44] well. i used the new cd-image 10.10, even the beta 11.04, 32 and 64 bit but it boots into a grub shell [21:44] !backtrack | fabiobik [21:44] fabiobik: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[21:46] only has option to create patition [21:46] Guest20105: though the ubuntu boot disk does not use grub I think... have you already installed? [21:46] hey guys, I have having a few issues. I have a usb wireless device that is connected. It would appear that the driver was one that was built into the kernel because it recognized it immediately. The only issue is it will not connect to any network.

[21:48] help me plz? [21:48] itilious: only when you leave the computer and the agent is still active [21:49] Gurke_: Because I always install the latest versions [21:49] has differnt option now on partition [21:49] do i format in ntfs or delete first? [21:49] guntbert, so its mainly just a "local security" loss? [21:49] Guest46115: 11.04 is the lateste [21:50] guntbert, do you know if the key is cleared when system reboots? [21:50] Gurke_: This channel is not for discussion about 11.04. You have been told this many times. Please stop being off topic in here. [21:50] itilious: no, not at all local, ssh agent allows you to reach configured ssh-hosts without having to enter a password (thereby increasing their security) [21:50] Gurke_: This computer is for my dad and he is used to Gnome so I stuck with 10.10 [21:50] KINGOFSWORDS: You must select the partition with Windows, does "Device:" says "/dev/sda2"? [21:50] ok [21:51] yeh selected windows partition and foramted [21:51] 11.04 is gnome too [21:51] win7 still in boot menu so im gonna delete partition now [21:51] itilious: yes, ssh-add is valid only until the next reboot (or until you remove the key again) [21:52] one stupid question [21:52] how to restart from comand line [21:52] deleted but it is still there [21:52] fabiobik: sudo reboot [21:52] shutdown?

[21:53] windows 7 loader still present after updategrub [21:54] i have some simple scripting issues if someone has a minute: http://paste.ubuntu.com/596699/ [21:54] this is crazy [21:54] i just want rid of this files [21:54] Blue1: I fail to see how this is an ubuntu support question [21:55] Andre_: yes [21:55] guntbert: okay where's the best place to take that question then? [21:55] OK thank you DaSEi [21:55] Blue1: try #bash [21:55] Andre_: make a win party beforehand, say least 10 G ntfs, install xp, install ubu [21:55] guntbert: thanks [21:55] KINGOFSWORDS: Try "sudo os-prober" in the terminal [21:56] still there [21:56] anyone else running natty here ?

[21:58] When I press a key, my mouse stops moving [21:58] KINGOFSWORDS: That's the one causing the problem! [21:58] wcchandler: ask alis, like /msg alis list *meteo* [21:58] Any1 know how to fix that? [21:58] yeh there is..its 105meg and [21:58] KINGOFSWORDS: Windows Vista and 7 have a separate partition for booting, you may delete it.

[22:00] =_ [22:00] no its gone [22:00] is that it....my nightmare over? [22:00] KINGOFSWORDS: Yeah, I hope so :) [22:00] shall i reboot? [22:01] hi [22:01] what shall i do with 2 other 5 gb paritions..they dell recovery's....leave them? [22:01] KINGOFSWORDS: Had you tried "sudo update-grub"? [22:01] no [22:01] Adis34: is the system a branded PC or laptop? [22:01] opps rebooted [22:02] KINGOFSWORDS: If you think might need them, you shouldn't [22:02] Hello. Is there any way to have "apt-get remove" list all of the files it removes (and in general what it is doing?) [22:02] they have vista i think [22:02] Combatjuan: it will show the packages it is removing [22:03] ActionParsnip: I'm concerned with particular files. [22:03] I have a Samba share mapped and my password changed. When I try to connect to it now I get the message "Could not open location..." and no opportunity to put in my new password. How do I fix this? [22:03] Combatjuan: its there a verbose option on apt-get (check man page) [22:04] "apt-get remove --verbose " -> "Command line option --verbose is not understood" [22:04] hey [22:04] omg galeon your a star...thank yo so much...no boot menu anymore [22:04] Combatjuan: did you check the man page......? [22:04] ActionParsnip: Of course. Before coming to the IRC channel. [22:04] Combatjuan: Also it's better to use simple yet powerfu aptitude, than all those atp-xxx junk. [22:05] wcchandler: this isn't a server support channel; however check /list or /msg alis help [22:05] Galvatron: That's fair. But I was under the impression that they sort of kept their own metadata and that mixing and matching (aptitude install x, apt-get remove x) was a bad idea. [22:05] Combatjuan: clearly not as the option is -V or --verbose-versions [22:05] Combatjuan: Use aptitude + Synaptic [22:06] Combatjuan: not --verbose as youused, which is why you got the error which is why I TOLD YOU to read the man page [22:06] Combatjuan: You hardly find a better combo for managing packages. [22:06] ActionParsnip: The "--verbose-versions" options doesn't list files. [22:06] hi === dreamer000_ is now known as dreamer000 [22:07] Combatjuan: or you can copy the proposed packages then the make a script to list the files in each package [22:08] Combatjuan: Arent you combining too much? If apt-get/aptitude removes something you need, you might always reinstall those components.;) [22:08] How to permanently mount a tmpfs? [22:08] Hey, when im holding a key and my mouse cant move [22:08] سلام عليكم [22:08] is there any way to fix this [22:08] Adis34: What key? [22:09] ActionParsnip: If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying do something like write a script that parses dpkg -L? [22:09] any key [22:09] on my keyboard [22:09] it makes it impossible to play games [22:09] Adis34: that is very unusual, what have you installed recently? [22:09] ActionParsnip: The reason I'm not doing that, is because I was hoping to get a list of files that are ACTUALLY removed. Not just part of the package. [22:09] Nothing [22:09] Combatjuan: possibly to maybe automate it, or just copy the text and use it in a manual sense [22:09] Adis34: is the system a branded PC or laptop? === yang is now known as Guest35909 [22:10] this is a laptop [22:10] touchpad [22:10] Maybe I should start from the beginning. I have a package that I'm removing, but a file that I'd expect it to remove is still there. Therefore I was hoping to have apt-get just tell me what it thinks it is doing. [22:10] is us.archive.ubuntu.com generally painfully slow? [22:10] hi [22:10] Adis34: what make and model? [22:10] i am using natty beta 2 on acer aspire 1830t and alps touchpad [22:10] vertical scrolling does not work, despite being enabled in the touchpad tab under "mouse". Does anybody have the same problem? [22:10] toshiba satellite something [22:10] davideS: ask in #ubuntu+1 until after release [22:10] Adis34: we need the something [22:10] alrighty [22:10] ActionParsnip: thanks [22:11] Satellite A305-S6841 [22:11] Combatjuan: If you need that because you want to remove configuration files, you may use "apt-get purge" [22:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pK8dplyTHM [22:11] galeon: Thanks. But in this case, it is a .so file. [22:12] Adis34: ok let me search [22:12] galeon: (And I'm reasonably certain that no other packages depend on this file) [22:12] I am trying to install libx264-dev, but I get http://pastebin.com/qa4neU0n error. [22:13] irc.lolnet.is +6697 [22:13] Combatjuan: Maybe a dependency library is no longer a dependency but not uninstalled? If it is the problem, use "apt-get autoremove" [22:14] Adis34: this may help: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/05/06/temporarily-disable-touchpad-while-typing/ [22:14] Combatjuan: autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed. [22:14] i just read that [22:14] I dont have mouseemu [22:14] galeon: It was a good theory, but not the case this time. [22:14] Hola! [22:14] how do i install xp onto the old partition i have galeon? [22:14] is there a channel for mac os x [22:14] Galvatron: aptitude does have a "--verbose" options, but it also, is not verbose in the way I want it to be. Thanks though.

Its still easier to install Windows XP first then Ubuntu. [22:16] zaksoldier: ;) [22:16] i know how to reinstall grub [22:16] but neither xp or vista discs are starting up from boot [22:16] bios settings? [22:17] hi all - anyone help me with some poor samba throughput; http://pastebin.com/t7z4wpMZ [22:17] i have boot nah cd/dvd is first in bios [22:17] it trys to run dvd fora while then just revertsto linux [22:17] can you boot from a linux disc? [22:17] KINGOFSWORDS: That's a problem, Windows XP will sometimes not boot if it found Grub as MBR or a Linux partition is there. [22:17] oh [22:17] ahhh [22:17] KINGOFSWORDS: I mean the CD [22:18] so theres no way around that [22:18] Can someone please take a look at http://pastebin.com/qa4neU0n error and tell what can I do to fix it? [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: That may mean you need to reformat the whole HD [22:18] like pressing shift or ctrl [22:18] oh [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: It happened to me before [22:18] can i not turn off grub in ubuntu [22:18] hence reason to install windows 1st [22:18] Backup, do the dual boot, reinstall, restore backup? Not sure if it would affect the mbr or boot stuff in restoring. [22:19] De|ta: you could play with: socket options = in smb.conf [22:19] vista should work thou? === ap0c is now known as is [22:19] KINGOFSWORDS: Not sure, I haven't tried that. [22:19] ActionParsnip: I'm a newbie to Linux, I'm too sure what change them to [22:19] Evening. Can any of you recoàmend me a good process monitoring tool.. where I can see step by step what a single process is doing .. fopen , fopen64 etc etc etc in log form.. === is is now known as ap0c [22:19] win7 did [22:20] De|ta: nobody is born knowing, but you have a computer hooked up to the largest information database on the planet [22:20] ...skynet [22:20] ...watson [22:20] how do i reformat the whole drive? [22:20] NO [22:21] Skynet will do away with Watson [22:21] I know, and one way of accessing said info is to talk to people who are in the know :) [22:21] if xp wont start [22:21] Watson has no hope! [22:21] I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords! [22:21] Skynet will infect watson. [22:21] also... [22:21] !ot [22:21] lol [22:21] #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! [22:21] I run ubuntu on skynet... its cool [22:21] on topic success [22:21] process monitor ? anyone ? [22:22] KINGOFSWORDS: Select the hard disk in Disk Utility then Format Drive. [22:22] Thanatos_: strace perhaps [22:22] Calif: oh, I run ubuntu too so any topic related to me is ontopic? [22:22] yup, just how it works [22:22] @Combajuan I'll have a look [22:22] cant go against the rules... [22:22] hi [22:22] Calif: stop trolling [22:22] how to see ram installed? [22:22] ok :( [22:23] ok thx galeon [22:23] witajcie [22:23] fabiobik: cat /proc/meminfo [22:23] #apple is not for hackintoosh [22:23] KINGOFSWORDS: You may also try searching in Google, there might be a way [22:23] fabiobik: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal for the total size [22:23] fabiobik: Administration > System Monitor [22:23] Alright I fixed my mouse problem [22:23] thanks [22:24] How to permanently mount a tmpfs? [22:24] mateusz_: Witamy/Wlecome [22:24] Another question though [22:24] nah loadsa tutorials for xp afte rubuntu but none work in the real world [22:24] The thing is .. I have this program .. i'ts opening files.. but it's not using open , open64 , fopen or fopen64 ... what else is there it could be using ?? [22:24] When I turn the volume up or down when im in a game [22:24] iszak: add it in /etc/fstab [22:24] it flickers to the desktop [22:24] ActionParsnip, thanks [22:24] and back to the game [22:24] Thanatos_: You tried strace and it didn't report it using open? [22:25] KINGOFSWORDS: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-novell-60/windows-xp-installation-cd-doesnt-boot-after-suse-installation-381216/ [22:25] @Comb i have no idea what else to look for [22:25] one stupid question [22:25] @comb what is there except those to open files.? [22:25] fabiobik: shoot [22:25] how to see if my ubuntu is x86 or x64 [22:25] #apple is not for hackintoosh [22:26] fabiobik: uname -m [22:26] thx [22:26] Thanatos_: As far as actual system calls, I don't know. If you know what file it is opening, you could: "strace my_executable | grep 'the_file_it_is_opening'" and see [22:26] i686 [22:26] fabiobik: i686 == x86 == 32Bit. x86_64 == X64 == 64Bit [22:26] so [22:26] zaksoldier: neither is it here [22:26] i have 4 gb ram installed [22:27] i can use the 4gb ram in 32 bit? [22:27] ok thanks [22:27] i mean x84 [22:27] fabiobik: yes [22:27] i have 2 vgas in my pc, how to check which one is the used one for the x-server? [22:27] ok because in windows the max is 3 gb [22:27] @comb strace is actually doing what i was expecting .. ill look more closely .. thnx a lot for now , I may be back [22:27] fabiobik: You might need a kernel with PAE to use them. [22:27] !pae | fabiobik [22:27] fabiobik: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [22:28] fabiobik: you will see 3.2Gb (ish) you can install the PAE kernel to see more RAM (up to 12Gb) in 32Bit but each app can only use 3.2Gb RAM [22:28] Thanatos_: You've pretty well exhausted my ideas so I'll wish you luck. (-8 [22:28] fabiobik: An appriorate version is in repo [22:28] but each app can only use 3.2GB [22:28] KINGOFSWORDS: It says Windows XP CD will not tolerate 2 active partitions, you may check your partitions by checking Partition Flags of your partitions in Disk Utility. [22:28] so this dont worth [22:29] the change [22:29] fabiobik: with a pae kernel, yes [22:29] fabiobik: depends what you use the system for [22:29] fabiobik: (FYI: win32 can use 2GB per process on 32 bit) [22:29] KINGOFSWORDS: It shows "Bootable" if active [22:29] oh i see [22:29] thats cool [22:29] xD [22:29] is it possible to disable ubuntu patition while i boot xp? [22:30] ActionParsnip, does this look correct tmpfs /path/to/tmpfs/ tmpfs noatime,size=64m,mode=0660 0 0 ? [22:30] or ucheck a flag? [22:30] fabiobik: for standard desktop web browsing /chatting junk you'll be fine, if you do CAD, Gimp, SQL stuffs then 64bit will help [22:30] I just changed my computername with gedit and hosts files and stuff [22:30] I'm such a hacker! [22:30] KINGOFSWORDS: Use the Edit Partition option, then uncheck Bootable [22:30] iszak: looks fine to me, you can search for examples online [22:30] ;P [22:31] ActionParsnip, I did :) just wanted to make sure [22:31] My computer plays a background music almost always. Sometimes I hear a podcast through the browser with flash player. Is it possible to automatically pause a music for a while I listen a podcast? [22:31] cyoz, congratulations on changing your computer name to h4xb0x! [22:31] cyoz: did you use the hostname command as well? [22:31] ok ill try that galeon....should i live cd? [22:31] maco, I just followed this guide: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/06/how-to-quickly-change-computer-name-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [22:31] KINGOFSWORDS: Yes, Ubuntu will not allow you to edit its partition [22:31] while its running [22:32] chromium complained that the profile was used by somebody different but after deleting that lock file things worked [22:32] KINGOFSWORDS: Just make sure you know how to reinstall Grub using your livecd [22:32] Adis, got a cat? :P [22:32] hey [22:33] it smells like jerked off dog in here.. [22:33] dNick: totally not appropriate. stop. [22:35] yeh reinstalled grub 4 or 5 times now...know it off by heart lol galeon [22:35] lol [22:35] what is the best app for clean the temp [22:36] cyoz: you have tochange both files at the same time or sudo won't work ;) [22:36] no serioulsy...i did it earlier when net was down [22:36] zaksoldier: there is no single best app for anything [22:36] ok any app [22:36] zaksoldier: bleachbit is pretty sweet, watch your browser settings though and avoid options it says will take a long time [22:36] hello all [22:37] how can i install Windows 7 in UBUNTU ? [22:37] ok thanks [22:37] rubin_: virtualbox [22:37] rubin_: you mean virtual box? === dNick_ is now known as Wind0wsF4nboy [22:37] rubin_: On VirtualBox [22:37] rubin_: or vmware or qemu [22:38] ActionParsnip, hu? [22:38] galeon nah ubuntu partition isnt checked bootable [22:38] ActionParsnipL As far as I know, VMware is a commercial app [22:38] cyoz: sudo needs to talk to localhost so you need to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname at the same time [22:38] How to "grep" adjectives out of text? Not wordnet solution prefered. [22:38] Galvatron: so,its still installable... [22:39] !vmware | Galvatron [22:39] well it's too late for that since I already did that [22:39] Galvatron: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [22:39] how can I test if sudo works? [22:39] Galvatron: its free, just not in speech [22:39] cyoz: sudo apt-get update [22:39] KINGOFSWORDS: Is there any partition checked as bootable? How many? [22:39] ActionParsnip, works [22:39] cyoz: sweet [22:40] no partitions marked/checked bootable [22:40] as I said, the only problem was chromium complaining that somebody else (the old computername) was using the profile [22:40] but in gparted there isan option to manage flags [22:40] cyoz: if it's already running it will cause that [22:40] none r ticked but should i choose hidden? [22:40] ActionParsnip, actually it happened after the reboot [22:41] but you are right, I made the changes while it ran [22:41] boot/hidden/raid/iba/lvm/palo/prep options [22:41] cyoz: strange, which version of chrome/ium are you running? [22:41] 10.0.648.205 (81283) Ubuntu 10.10 [22:41] can i do the ubuntu look like back track 4 or can't [22:41] cyoz: is that the unstable? [22:42] KINGOFSWORDS: Oh, maybe that's not your problem [22:42] rubin: You would be better installing XP, as it is way lighter than Win7, which is probably as heavy as Ubu + XP on VirtualBox. [22:42] I have no idea, this is like my 3rd session in any linux [22:42] zaksoldier: sure, just apply the same theme stuffs [22:42] ;) === kaminaSquirtle is now known as Kamina [22:43] i checked boot flag on ntfs/windows wann be patition and somehing changed on the ubuntu partition [22:43] a set of keys disapeared next to the ubuntu partiiton [22:45] KINGOFSWORDS: are you using GParted or Disk Utility?

[22:46] no [22:46] its a ssd aswell if thats makes any difference === jsec|afk is now known as jsec [22:48] ActionParsnip: THANK YOU VERY MUCH [22:48] KINGOFSWORDS: Does "Press any key..." shows up when you try to install Windows?

[22:57] ActionParsnip: i shouldn't need to boot to recovery mode if i'm in a live cd right? i can do that from here? [22:58] mordof: if you chroot, maybe. The liveCD will use the local users which you need [22:58] ok [22:58] hmm [22:58] is done installing [22:59] codex84: ok,close the app and rerun it [22:59] ActionParsnip: k, how do i boot to root recovery?

[23:06] tim__: check your chip and make sure it can connect to WPA in Linux [23:06] I wouldn't have any idea how to do that... [23:07] tim__: use the internet to research [23:07] Can you help? It's a netgear wireless N card so I would think it is. === lol is now known as derp [23:09] tim__: Do you use network manager? [23:09] how do i recursively remove all .svn files/directories within a given direcotry? [23:10] Yes I do. The wireless card is made to support WPA2 according to my research [23:10] flowbee: find with exec [23:10] KINGOFSWORDS: I tried it in my computer, it hang when I press enter after "Press any key...", you might have the same problem, since the Ubuntu boot menu didn't show up... [23:10] tim__: Did you swap your router to WPA from WEP? Or it is new network? [23:11] KINGOFSWORDS: Are you sure you're booting into the cd? [23:11] oh [23:11] i never got press any key [23:11] yeh boot in bios and quick boot menu [23:11] ok, it appears it caused a bit more than i thought [23:12] partition is checked as bootable too [23:12] flowbee: rm -rf *.svn ...this command should be executed while in the directory your wanting to rid files from [23:12] tim__: yeah but under linux the driver may not permit it, thats what you need to look for [23:12] my Places-> Folders are opening in brasero now :\ how do i change that?

[23:13] oh [23:13] KINGOFSWORDS: Try removing all bootable flags === derp is now known as drama [23:13] KINGOFSWORDS: or all flags [23:13] all flags were removed at beginning [23:14] well i mean none were present when i 1st looked [23:14] drama. [23:14] ActionParsnip: ty, much appreciated [23:15] mordof: I've seen it a lot so I keep that link. No idea what causes it [23:15] KINGOFSWORDS: Or try removing all partitions except your Ubuntu installation, though it would mean removing the Dell partitions. You may also back up the drive [23:15] mordof: in terminal type: nautilus :then right click the first folder you see > open with other application >Use custom command > manually type in nautilus.. make sure Remember this application for "folder"files is checked. [23:15] ActionParsnip: heh, good idea. yeah - i'm not sure what caused it either [23:16] bastidrazor: easier just to edit the mimeapps.list as the link stated [23:16] KINGOFSWORDS: Seen it in http://www.ozzu.com/mswindows-forum/won-boot-t73477.html [23:16] bastidrazor: I just keep that link handy ;) [23:16] saw rather [23:16] i have more partitions showing in gparted than in disk utilyies..is that normal?
