[00:00] me to.. [00:00] xstarslayer: you need it to manage patches? [00:00] Yeah [00:00] though diamond gave me the download links [00:00] xstarslayer: then it's the correct howto :) [00:00] installed them all [00:01] oh well, thanks ;) [00:01] ciao [00:02] xstarslayer: it may be hard to understand if you don't have experience with cvs systems [00:02] ActionParsnip: it's a brand new 10.10 ubuntu install [00:02] so then this must be the norm? [00:03] ActionParsnip: although on my old 10.10 install, earlier today, it auto mounted CDs, although it might ask me to confirm, it at least prompted me in the GUI [00:03] "How would you like to handle this disc" etc [00:04] dusf: if it won't do it automagically then you'll need to do it manually [00:04] dusf: is your user in the cdrom group? [00:04] schnuffle: i reinstalled with the same username as was on the previous 10.10 install [00:04] schnuffle: checking users now... [00:05] dusf: maybe it cannot work out the data so isn't popping it up [00:06] ActionParsnip thanks it worked! [00:06] hi [00:06] konam: np man [00:06] can somneone help me out? [00:06] ActionParsnip: trying another disc [00:06] can anyone help me get my usb wifi card working with ubuntu server. Everything I've found online uses the iwconfig or iwlist command, which I don't have. I can't install it because I can't connect to the internet [00:06] schnuffle: i am the only user in the group cdrom [00:06] what type of entry can I add to sudoers to make my username equal to root [00:07] im having trouble installing the wireless drivers for my ubuntu dual os boot w/ preinstalled vista on my hp dv6000. I used wubi to install ubuntu 10.10 [00:07] mcurran: username ALL=(ALL) ALL [00:07] ActionParsnip: jsut tried a ubuntu 10.10 cd in the drive, not reading it either :( [00:08] tried that, doesn't work [00:08] scnuffle don't even know what that means but ok o.o [00:08] HELLO? [00:08] if I dd a natty iso to my sd card will it boot? [00:09] mcurran: what does that mean? the line I pasted means you can use sudo to run programs with root rights [00:09] xstarslayer: okay, you installed quilt for some purpose, which purpose? [00:09] I want my permissions and everything modified to also be under the same. I still have to use sudo to open programs like apt, etc. [00:10] HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO? [00:10] Hi. [00:10] I'm having the same problem as this guy: http://osdir.com/ml/gedit-list/2010-10/msg00007.html (the plugin works perfectly on my ubuntu netbook but not this ubuntu laptop) [00:10] mcurran: that is a no go, you can use sudo -i to become root [00:10] I want it setup like BackTrack without using root as the username, so I want my username "mcurran" to be completely synonimous with root. [00:12] mcurran: you're sure you know what you do? give your user the uid/gid 0/0 but that is a very bad advice and you should really know what you 're doing [00:12] it's just computers [00:12] I know what I'm doing and I know the security risks [00:12] how though [00:12] ArchGT: use unetbootin or usb-creator [00:13] !noroot [00:13] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [00:13] ActionParsnip: so the answer is no [00:13] mcurran: open /etc/passwd and change the uid of your user [00:13] thanks [00:13] hi! why is REISUB not working anymore? [00:13] mcurran: it already is, you can use sudo as and when you need power [00:13] there are tutorials online that say "usermod --login mcurran root" will work, but these types require a new unique user and not one that exists already [00:13] I don't want to use sudo anymore, that is my objective [00:14] mcurran: then your system will have drastically less security [00:14] mcurran: can you give a link to the tutorial [00:14] mcurran: in fact, near zero [00:14] mcurran: listen to ActionParsnip [00:15] thank you schnuffle [00:15] this is not windows people, I should be allowed to do whatever I want [00:15] mcurran: you can do as you wish, it's just not supported here [00:15] is there someway to connect Blacktrack 4 directly to a usb wifi card? [00:15] ts93: backtrack isn't supported here [00:15] ActionParsnip you have full permission to attempt to own my box if it's so "insecure" [00:15] !backtrack \ ts93 [00:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:16] !backtrack | ts93 [00:16] ts93: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [00:16] ts93, connect? [00:16] mcurran: i have better things to do [00:16] yes you can use unetbootin to create a live usb [00:16] yeah, then don't waste your breathe telling me it's insecure, when it's not [00:17] mcurran: one way is to have a terminal always on as root, i do not know if it's secure enough though. [00:17] mcurran: if you do as you intend then all your processes will have full system access including your web broser, any malicious code will be able to do what it wants,when it wants including install / remove software as well as broadcast stored passwords and browser cookies.. [00:18] mcurran: as I often have to work as root, I just open a terminal and become root, why is that not enough? Just want to know [00:18] mcurran: its quite funny how you want to completely remove all system security just for the simple conveniece of not typing your password every now and again for sudo [00:19] hi! why REISUB doesn't work anymore? [00:19] im looking for the autoCAD experience on Ubuntu .. anyone have a suggestion as to whats the best way to get such a program running on mu ubuntu 10.04 ... is WINE the best option? [00:19] no actually my apache root will still have it's own permissions ActionParsnip [00:19] mcurran: As I told you sudo -i will give you a root shell [00:19] superMariohardco: you can re-enable ctrl+alt+backspace in keyboard settings [00:19] if you want proof I'll start it up and we'll se what files you can access [00:20] mcurran: Some programs just won't run anymore if you do this, but you can just add yourself to the 'root' group and you'll have to sudo a lot less often probably. Though, a lot of things are 75- instead of 77-, so it won't be perfect. [00:20] rm -rf [00:20] mcurran: However, it is the least destructive method I can think of [00:20] mcurran: i'd rather help users in here, its more productive [00:20] velocidensity: please don't [00:20] yes, I think those uid set's should not be included in open software, not sure why people insist on adding them [00:21] hey guys have a question [00:21] mcurran: Because nobody wants to hear about a vulnerability in their code being run as root resulting in a system being owned, when it's a real legitimate possibility.

If you really wanted it there areweb pages by other ignorant people wanting to break their OS in pretty much the same way then you can follow their guides [00:22] surge2000: how did you break it? [00:22] ActionParsnip, I'm done talking about it. I'm sorry that I'm just looking for an answer for something I want to do. I guess you don't like that [00:23] mcurran: its not that I don't like it, it's not to be advised here [00:23] it broke during updates [00:23] lets see this root shell, otherwise just let me do what I want to my OS [00:23] mcurran: you can, its just not to be advised here [00:23] okay [00:23] basso, much appreciated [00:23] surge2000: regular updates or some repository mixing [00:23] regular updates [00:23] I know, and it's not adised anywhere, that's why the web is full of pages not telling you how to do it [00:24] I know that it is possible, but would like to know the cause of the failure to continue any difficulties did not arise [00:24] mcurran: thats fine [00:24] i then went to synaptic manager aand it said i have broken dependencies [00:25] surge2000: how about reinstalling them or is it already to late and apt isn't working anymore [00:25] mcurran: Have you considered single user mode?

[00:50] when i turn on my laptop [00:50] Blackoakx22: DSL maybe, if you want a GUI it has to be something with a really tiny window manager like fvwm [00:50] mariojinx make sure ur drive is set to cable select [00:51] schnuffle: sent you a private message [00:51] surge2000: it is. I double checked. it is in cable select and it is the only ide drive in the machine. everything else is sata. [00:51] Guest73713: It will run as a live cd (dvd) and will not affect your existing OS unless you choose to install it. [00:52] oh, so i shouldnt install it then [00:52] thanks hiexpo [00:52] Good evening guys, I have quite a troublesome issue and I am a bit desperate because I searched already all kind of different forums and topics about this... I am running on Ubuntu 10.10 and all the time i had perfeclty fine sound, about two hours ago the sound suddenly disappeard and doesnt want to get on anymore. please can someone help me? [00:52] surge2000: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename.deb [00:52] brewster, no problem [00:52] Mariojinx well that shouldnt matter, did u check that its being recognized in the BIOS [00:52] Guest73713: Just run it from the CD first and decide whether you like it or not. If you choose to install it, there is an installation icon that will guide you through the process [00:53] Guest73713: be sure to MD5 test the ISO so you know its healthy [00:53] eXscalate: I had the same problem once [00:53] with tuxguitar i get no sounnd, /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory [00:53] yes. it is being recognized. When I boot into the drive, I get a BSOD. (I am trying to boot into windows XP). [00:53] EnigmaticCoder: were you able to fix the problem? [00:53] eXscalate: Type this command $ alsamixer [00:54] Then adjust the volumne levels [00:54] surge2000: yes. it is being recognized. When I boot into the drive, I get a BSOD. (I am trying to boot into windows XP). [00:54] EnigmaticCoder: they are all on hardest [00:54] After you fix it, use this command to store it permanently: $ sudo alsactl store 0 [00:54] eXscalate: Ah, sorry, that's what worked for me [00:55] but if i install it, then i have to partition the stuff, right? [00:55] eXscalate: Did you go to the right, there are many more volume bars [00:55] Guest73713: right, but the installation will guide you through all of that. [00:55] EnigmaticCoder: you mean, master, headphones, etc? they are all on maximal level... [00:55] ok [00:55] so how do i get rid of this wubi then [00:55] cuz i already installed it using wubi [00:55] eXscalate: There might be a few more bars if you hold the right arrow key down [00:56] Guest73713: Hmmm never used wubi as an installer. [00:56] EnigmaticCoder: everything i can find is on maximum level... :( [00:56] ActionParsnip, thanks for the help, but i would just dual boot ubuntu with #!

[00:57] Mariojinx then it seems u r having BIOS confrontation [00:57] eXscalate: I don't have much more advice, but you could press f6 on the alsamixer screen to select the sound card. [00:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513104 [00:57] oh by the way, does anyone here know any good c or unix books/tutorials [00:57] or android rom/kernel dev tutorials/books [00:57] ActioParsnip i tried the force install it didnt work [00:58] EnigmaticCoder: there is only one thing i can select, its the hda intel [00:58] aaronth: if you want [00:58] To connect to the windows 7 file sharing, do I need samba installed ? [00:58] Guest73713: i'd ask in #c this is ubuntu support only [00:59] ok [00:59] I have another issue that I have been dealing with in Ubuntu. I have to upgrade from 9.04 to the latest version, which gets longer with each release. This is the only reason I haven't used ubuntu in a while. I have to upgrade with each release because there is an acpi bug that prevents the installer from working. The setting can be changed in 9.04, but not in any version above. Can anyone help? [00:59] ActionParsnip, I had done that, i do want windows 7 back a little but i love the community and experimenting with linux [00:59] tase: you need samba to share folders in Ubuntu, you can already access shares [00:59] eXscalate: Have you experimented with the sound preferences under system | sound? [00:59] tase: I recommed you read this: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/ [01:00] I was able to earlier, uninstalled Samba, and now the Windows computer is visible in Network, but its empty [01:00] is there a channel for rom/kernel development [01:00] EnigmaticCoder: yes... i tried to change everything, but nothing seems to be working... this is really ridiculous... it literally disappeard from one second to the other [01:00] for the nexus s [01:00] Mariojinx just back up ur stuff from ubuntu and just to a new install at the end of the month [01:01] eXscalate: Could it be one particular application that's muted? [01:01] ? [01:01] is there? [01:02] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/597645/ [01:02] surge2000: I can't. the installer halts on every version and I have to change a setting to noapic. I can do that in 9.04, but what about in the later versions? [01:02] EnigmaticCoder: i tried to use youtube on firefox and also the radio on the built in player [01:03] Mariojinx not sure on that bud [01:03] eXscalate: Also, sometimes my sound goes out because my speaker plug is old. I twist it and then it works again [01:03] Take a look here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [01:03] surge2000: is the file in the same folder and is that the exact filename? I suggest you use tab to autocomplete the filename [01:03] EnigmaticCoder: its a laptop, so the speakers are built in [01:03] Mariojinx not sure on that bud, but if u do a clean install you shouldnt run into any problems [01:04] eXscalate: That link I posted is supposedly the complrehensive guide to fixing sound problems. I'd try there [01:05] surge2000: would the alternate install cd work? [01:05] Hey everyone. [01:05] I'm doing a few test deploys of Ubuntu over SSH to my main dedicated box... [01:06] I've followed the majority of the steps listed here, but adapted them to Natty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH [01:06] But when I get to the grub and reboot portion, I'm still stuck in the same OS I was on previously. [01:06] I'm trying to install git-core on lucid but every time I try it hangs installing libdigest-sha1-perl [01:07] eXscalate: Looking through that link, I don't think it will help -- I could be wrong -- but I'm out of ideas. Good luck to you [01:07] I've tried downloading the package from another mirror with the same result - is there a problem with this package? [01:07] Mariojinx just download the iso to fit ur computer and just to install from cd [01:07] can ubuntu have a dns server on the same system thats running the web server? [01:07] EnigmaticCoder: i have no real other options so i will try to do that... because im really desperate [01:07] I'll try. [01:08] I'm pretty sure I did everything right except the grub, so question is, how would I get the bootloader properly installed while chrooted into the second hard drive on my server? [01:09] oy, where is Gedit to be found in my filesystem? [01:09] Is there someone who can help me with a rootstock error? It tells me, that there is no space left - which just can't be... log: http://pastebin.com/JkbA5U31 [01:09] PFA: type: which gedit [01:09] EnigmaticCoder: can it be, that i installed 64bit drivers while i am running a 32bit system? [01:09] shcherbak, thanks! [01:09] eXscalate: I don't won't to mislead you, but possibly [01:10] itilious: sure, you can run as many services as you want [01:10] Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 via update manager thingy [01:10] Datz: use: sudo update-manager -d === Guest73713 is now known as Imadouche [01:10] ActionParsnip, the tutorial i was reading on it was pretty old, but mentioned the www server and dns servers had different ip addresses in the dns server setup [01:10] thanks ActionParsnip [01:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093&highlight=dns+server if i'm using an antique method to setup dns server let me know ActionParsnip :) but thanks for the tip anyway :) [01:11] itilious: thats fine, I put a DNS server on systems too, makes dns faster :) [01:11] My .mkv videos keep crashing. How do I fix this? [01:11] ActionParsnip: Your name is amazing, just FYI. [01:12] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/597648/ [01:12] does dns server download/upload info to like a web of dns servers in cyberworld? [01:12] ActionParsnip: /me will investigate this -d option. thanks [01:12] i never really understood exactly how dns works, only fundamentally [01:12] itilious: DNS can be very simple or very complicated, depending on what you need. What are you trying to do? [01:12] itilious: dns just resolves names to IP addresses.... [01:12] I am not able to set execute permissions despite running chmod +x [01:13] k3n5h1n: is the file on a CD or NTFS? [01:13] the partition is NTFS [01:13] ActionParsnip / ohzie i'm trying to get my home webserver to work with a domain i own [01:13] surge2000: ok, you are running 64bit OS. Grab the 64bit deb instead and install that instead [01:13] for the learning experience of it #1 but also to save some money getting my skills out on a website as well :) [01:13] itilious: do you have a static IP at home? [01:14] ActionParsnip, its NTFS [01:14] ActionParsnip where would i get it [01:14] My .mkv videos keep crashing. How do I fix this? [01:14] Does anyone know how to install the bootloader onto the primary drive while chrooted into the secondary drive? [01:14] ohzie, no i dont , i know this is is strongly rec. but not req tho [01:14] surge2000: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/67745717/libc-dev-bin_2.12.1-0ubuntu10.3_amd64.deb [01:14] My .mkv videos keep crashing. How do I fix this? It's not just a single file. All of my .mkv and .avi files are crashing. I believe a codec error is suspect, but I'm not sure. [01:15] k3n5h1n: you won't be able to run your games stored in windows under wine in ubuntu, is that what you are trying to do? [01:15] thats the project after getting the domain to point to my home made server :) find a client, if any, to update dns server with my new ip address [01:15] MrMintanet: what players have you tried? [01:15] Kaffine, VLC, Movie Player [01:15] for the time being i followed that tutorial with 400,000+ views and can't get it to work [01:15] itilious: I'm going to recommend you get a dyndns account, I think the paid ones will wrest domains you've purchased for you. [01:16] ActionParsnip, no. I am trying to execute .out files from g++ [01:16] and i'm too new to ubuntu to know if the guide is out dated lol [01:16] Haaa [01:16] itilious: and the dyndns.com client is amazing [01:16] ....

[01:16] ActionParsnip, i had recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10. It was working fine before. [01:16] itilious: Yeah it's amazing [01:16] but i'm looking for the hands on experience to learn more bout linux :) [01:16] ActionParsnip what about the libc6 [01:17] ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [01:17] but yes awesome service, only prob was it was so easy i learned very little ha ha but still great [01:17] itilious: You would have to pay a registrar to wrest your domain for you, and then point it at your home web server through some magic that might get complicated and annoying. [01:17] surge2000: just websearch the package you need including the version and you will find the file [01:17] thanks bro [01:17] I need some help setting up one of my nics in a Ubuntu 10.10 server to work on multiple vlans (accept a vlan trunk 802.1q).

[02:11] dd214: the update manager will offer to upgrade you to 11.04 [02:11] rww really? that is nice === schnuffle1 is now known as schnuffle [02:12] I am trying to run cruisecontrol, and for some reason it's not publicly accessible. I think it's an iptables issue, since it is accessible from localhost via both the public and loopback IPs. http://pastebin.com/Yywh1Zci [02:13] I have ubuntu on dual boot..But my wireless is not working...however ethernet works [02:13] does anybody know how to fix that? [02:13] dtcummin: sorry was cut off, vlan has to be configured at least on the switch. If you use portbased tagging, not every machine has to be configured but it depends on your setup [02:13] im sorry but i forgot the nick of the person who helped me with the sound problem... does the output of the file give any additional information on what could be wrong? i really try to make it work but nothings seems to help... [02:14] eXscalate: it was ActionParship but he left [02:14] ah [02:14] does maybe anyone else have an idea on how to fix the issue with the sound? [02:14] schnuffle: are you familiar with cisco ios? [02:15] dtcummin: just a bit, enough to hate them :) So I won't be of much help [02:16] schnuffle: ok. my switch says the port the server is on is in trunking mode and will accept vlan 2, 3, and 500. a machine on vlan 2 should be able to ping the server, right? [02:16] or, I guess I'm not sure how to debug the situation... [02:16] dtcummin: Last time I wanted a Cisco core router setup I got so pissed because of the salesmans attitude that I try to avoid them [02:17] dtcummin: yes as lonf as the machine nows that the route to your server goes over vlan 2 [02:17] as long [02:17] in this output, i see that Esound Daemon is not running... is this maybe the cause for my computer to not play sound? http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=07450c692895920e00dd80453f28c7870354b119 [02:17] is it possible to make my ubuntu ignore the wifi shutoff switch on my laptop? [02:17] I have to configure the machine for vlan as well? [02:18] can't it just be on the same subnet? [02:18] Gunnar: thatd usually be called a bug... [02:18] and the switch will handle the vlan support? [02:18] maco: but i want it to either ignore it or default to on [02:18] dtcummin: it can but when then route doesn't force a vlan tag the switch won't deliver it [02:19] hi all. if i have a 64 bit processor, should i download the 32bit version anyway because the ubuntu website says recommended 32bit version [02:19] dtcummin: so to start debugging you should check if the ping packets are send with a vlan tag [02:19] freaky[t]: get 64 [02:19] freaky[t]: if your cpu supports 64 get 64, no question [02:19] ok thank you [02:19] lol [02:20] schnuffle, so do I have to run through that setup in that link you gave me on all the machines I want to start to use vlans? [02:20] Mkop: you need to add a accept for the port [02:20] schnuffle: as far as I can tell, there is one for http-alt (aka 8080) as well as 8000 [02:21] maco: any ideas about that? [02:21] Mkop: yes but after number 12. which drops everything [02:21] Gunnar: nope [02:21] Gunnar: oh wait yes [02:21] Gunnar: or at least, i have an idea how to unset it... [02:21] I'm trying to use passwd while chrooted into another copy of ubuntu, but even though id -u reports 0, I get the error passwd: root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 is not authorized to change the password of root anyone know how to fix this? [02:21] schnuffle: so I just need to move them higher in the file? [02:21] Gunnar: rfkill --help [02:21] dtcummin: no but you need to assure that the PC from which to send pings sets the vlan tag [02:21] maco: unset, meaning? [02:22] Gunnar: let your wireless work [02:22] Gunnar: like maybe..... sudo rfkill unblock all [02:22] And if all machine in the different vlans are one the same subnet, the default route won*t set a vlan tag [02:22] so you have to set a route that forces the packet through the correct vlan interface [02:22] maco: so would it be enough to make that command run at boot? [02:22] Gunnar: worth a try [02:23] Mkop: that hould do the trick [02:23] maco: thanks i'll try that [02:23] can someone assist me, i'm looking for the correct way to put this in cmd in background. sudo scp -P 22 -r directory_name_here user@host:/mnt/hdb1/dir/dir.. how do i put that in background task? [02:24] hi, i'm getting a "Error: Can't have overlapping partitions." and i was hoping someone here might of a fix besides making a new partition table. here is some fdisk output: http://pastebin.com/YfckB4gz [02:25] dtcummin: route add -host dev eth0.2 [02:25] I'm in the process of doing a dist upgrade to 11.04. I was wondering if there is a package for gnome3? [02:25] I seem to have lost the ability to connect to any network connection. This includes both wireless and wired. I don't even have the 'network icon' at the top of my screen anymore [02:25] schnuffle: thank you very much for the help! I spent a long time wrestling with that..... [02:25] Datz: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! [02:25] right, thanks [02:25] baba-B00ie: put a & at the end [02:26] schnuffle: i attempted that and sudo bombed out on me [02:26] i'll try again, thanks schnuffle [02:27] baba-B00ie: you need to give a password? [02:27] yes [02:28] baba-B00ie: of course then it won't work, so use the -b option for sudo [02:28] ah ok [02:28] i'll try now [02:29] schnuffle, alright, I give up for now. thanks for your help [02:29] dtcummin: I know it's hard stuff. Good luck [02:30] dtcummin: one suggestion, set one port one the cisco as debug port and use some traffic analyzer to see the packets, so you can check the vlan settings [02:31] maco: it seems to work, put it into system crontab at reboot [02:31] schnuffle: where do i use the -b switch, is that at the end of sudo? [02:31] baba-B00ie: sudo -b [02:32] baba-B00ie: man sudo for all the syntax and options [02:33] schnuffle: ok then i did run it right, i get pemission denied. then my user and host info comes up with a lost connection following that [02:33] hrm...is there a better music player than rhythmbox that handles compilations and grouping by album artist? [02:33] the user and host info is the host i'm trying to connect to [02:33] baba-B00ie: can you paste your command line [02:34] keithclark: check dmesg at a command prompt as well as /var/log/messages [02:34] ah i see what i did wrong [02:34] also: ifconfig [02:34] Gunnar: cool [02:35] if i have kubuntu installed, do i just install ubuntu-desktop to get everything for the ubuntu? [02:35] Gunnar: to execute something at boot time /etc/rc.local is a good place [02:36] freaky[t]: it's kubuntu-desktop for KDE [02:37] rhizmoe, dmesg finds etho and eth1 [02:39] schnuffle ok thanks [02:41] keithclark: now try ifconfig /all [02:41] also, are you using dhcp? via?

[03:40] there you go [03:41] i didnt choose that one cuz i dont have an amd proccessor. fail! [03:42] drcasper, it must kill intel that it's called AMD64 - that's why thy renamed it for their own processors, but 64bit (as we know it) is technically called amd64 [03:42] :'( [03:43] thanks ZykoticK9_ [03:43] ZykoticK9_: it's not "technically called" anything ;P [03:43] daaaaang. 11 hours :/ [03:44] can somebody help me? [03:45] maybe [03:45] thien: just ask [03:45] my ubuntu has a gray screen after I login [03:45] ActionParsnip: Still very lagy [03:45] thien uhum... [03:45] thien, aftyer a install, upgrade what [03:45] whois drm [03:45] thien no cursor? [03:46] no [03:46] syrinx_, it does appear that Oracle/Microsoft do call it x64 - but i'm not sure you want to follow what those two groups are doing ;) [03:46] i believe SPARC originally called it x64 as well [03:46] although, now its insanely boincy, like a mac. [03:46] thien gray or white/black knit pattern [03:47] syrinx_, that was a different 64bit then the x86_64 that we know today - that was 64bit only [03:47] after login, it show a gray full screen, after that it become normally [03:47] hey i've got a problem logging in via the wm gnome. ubuntu lets me login via the console but evert time i try to login via gnome it brings me straight back to the login... this issue randomly started happening, i haven't messed with the wm's default config, any ideas? [03:47] yea, you have to start somewhere though; also, this is !ot [03:47] Good morning all [03:48] good evening. [03:48] thien so the X and the wm are being loaded - no problem [03:48] s47: password is wrong? [03:48] no, password's fine, as i said i can login via the console with no problem. [03:48] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba A200 (T7500 C2D). And system lock-ups like crazy. [03:48] yes, no problem but it's a bit ugly [03:49] how do i tell if my cd burner is broke or not? [03:49] syrinx_: to further verify this i have tried logging in gnome with the wrong password and it notifys me that it's incorrect... [03:49] I tried with noapic, nolapic, acpi_skip_timer_override [03:50] ... to no avail [03:50] s47, if something is preventing WM/DE from starting, it sends you back to GDM. Try logging in as a different user (might work, and would verify it's a problem in your user account) [03:50] s47: I have no idea, did you happen to update to gnome3? [03:50] If someone can guide me on debugging the issue, I'll be grateful. [03:50] I have downloaded a file at /Downloads/writertools-1.9.1...how can i install it [03:50] syrinx_: i've tried logging in with other accounts and the same problem occurs [03:51] chaembian, have you confirmed that the disc will boot on another computer? [03:51] syrinx_: i don't think i updated to gnome3 but how can i check the version? [03:51] s47, then it's not a user account issue, do you have any other WM/DEs to log in with? do they work? [03:52] s47: if you didn't update to gnome3 explicitly then you I would assume you have gnome2 [03:53] syrinx_: nope i haven't installed any other wm/de's, i had no issue with using gnome until it decided to not allow me to login.. [03:53] nit-wit: Ubuntu 10.10 has been installed in the laptop. The image off the USB key ran fine without any glitches. === dark is now known as Guest30370 [03:53] syrinx_: i run apt-get upgrade regularly, i don't suppose it would've updated gnome? === Guest30370 is now known as erebus [03:54] chaembian, I see the list of what you tried was nomodeset in there as well. [03:54] Coucou [03:54] Y'a des gens [03:54] ? [03:54] s47: I don't think so [03:55] Hi ? Someone ? [03:55] Before yesterday, I had the root system in JFS. I was wondering if that was causing the lock-ups, so wiped the system clean and installed again with root as ext4 [03:55] any ideas ZykoticK9_? [03:55] Can someone help me ? My Mumble did not find the microphone :( [03:55] s47, sorry no. Good luck. [03:56] Nobody ? [03:56] hello [03:56] I uninstalled my touch pad driver, will my touch pad use the default driver automatically? [03:56] things in this channel are hot [03:57] wow [03:57] do anyone knows about any applet that simulate hd leds blinking on a toram system? [03:57] ZykoticK9_, syrinx_: do you know how i can force X/gnome to reconfigure itself? redetect the graphic card/drivers needed? [03:57] Yey! the answer was yes. [03:58] A 'watch -d cat /proc/interrupts' shows that the IR-IO-APIC-edge frozen when the lock-up happens === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:58] nit-wit: nomodeset? I did not get you. [03:58] watch?? [03:58] s47: I guess you could try to restart gnome [03:58] s47, i doubt X is your issue if you don't have a problem with GDM. Do you have an xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)? [03:58] are there fingerprint sensor drivers for ubuntu? [03:59] how do i get my IP [03:59] I think I have missed this: the system boots up fine; after 2 or 3 mins, it simply locks-up [03:59] teage: ifconfig [03:59] teage: ifconfig [03:59] teage, ifconfig from a terminal [03:59] lol [04:00] chaembian, nomodeset at the grub menu by editing into the end of the kernel or at the cd boot f6 prompt=low graphics mode, your ati radeon 2600 card is suspect I think [04:00] ZykoticK9_: nope but i have an xorg.conf.failsafe, x.org.conf-backup and a x.org-dist-upgrade [04:01] chaembian, just for reference if this is your card http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ati-radeon-hd-2600-drivers-in-ubuntu.html [04:01] s47: restart the computer. if it still doesn't work then I would assume it has nothing to do with GDM [04:01] or X for that matter [04:01] s47, ok - i would suggest moving xorg.conf to a backup file name, but if you don't have one - that means it's already using automatic detection [04:01] ZykoticK9_: probably has intel graphics [04:01] syrinx_: i've restarted it several times and it still doesn't allow me to login [04:02] s47: then it has something to do with the user account [04:02] syrinx_: impossible, i created a new user account and the same problem occurs, i also tried using the root account [04:02] s47, can you log in successfully from ctrl+alt+f1? (ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 to get back) [04:03] ZykoticK9_: yea, via the console [04:03] s47, root won't work (unless you set a pw, which is an ubuntu no-no) [04:03] er.. [04:03] just gotta say, i spent a lot of years saying "noobuntu," but it's really working out well for me. [04:03] * rhizmoe scans for the first time [04:03] hehehe roots r on strike [04:04] s47, from console you could try "sudo service gdm stop" then "startx" and see if anything is different, or if you get any useful output in the console [04:04] ZykoticK9_: fair enough but i also created a new account but the same problem occurs [04:04] ZykoticK9_: i'll try that now [04:04] restarting the computer effectively restarts gdm, so...

[04:07] anyone here use lxde ubuntu install? I have a nm-applet issue [04:07] With JFS the lock-ups were sparse. With ext4, there is a lock-up under 5 mins [04:07] LaughingKota: crtl-alt-f7 [04:08] LaughingKota:or may be sudo startx if you have killed X [04:08] LaughingKota, perhaps "sudo service gdm start" if you've exited Xorg [04:08] yeah, I closed Firefox, and it killed X [04:08] syrinx_: I don't have a radeon device. After successful boot, the machine locks-up after few mins. [04:08] Thanks [04:08] LaughingKota, don't use the sudo startx! [04:08] ZykoticK9_: it killed my screen completely lol... my screen light changed from blue (active) to orange (inactive) - no signal [04:09] what helper apps and permissions does nm-applet need in lxde ubuntu install? [04:09] chaembian: maybe you're swappiness is too high [04:09] s47, try going to ctrl+alt+f1 [04:09] the symptoms are very similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/665796 [04:09] Ubuntu bug 665796 in linux (Ubuntu) "Intel Core i7 - Timer interrupt freezes, high CPU usage, system becomes sluggish" [Undecided,Confirmed] === stalcup is now known as v [04:09] ZykoticK9_: i couldn't go to ctrl+alt+f1-f12 [04:09] ZykoticK9_, says it's already running? I'm using Ubuntu netbook. [04:09] when I did a watch -d as suggested in the thread, I saw that the timer got frozen as well. [04:09] LaughingKota, "sudo service gdm restart" then [04:10] Alright [04:10] s47, i can't explain that. sorry man. [04:10] chaembian: oh, I don't know then [04:10] syrinx_: swappiness? [04:10] !swappiness | chaembian [04:10] ZykoticK9_: no worries, thanks for helping. [04:10] awww [04:10] what helper apps and permissions does nm-applet need in lxde ubuntu install? [04:11] syrinx_: that was just as cryptic as it was before :) [04:11] chaembian: forget i said it, probably has nothing to do with it [04:11] alright [04:11] s47, after you restart your system, when you are at the login screen, do you have any other "session" choices? [04:11] ZykoticK9_: you said setting a root password is a "no-no" for ubuntu, however that's something i previously set... i don't suppose ubuntu has some security feature which if detecting a root password locks the system from logging in? it seems unlikely but i figured i'd ask anyway [04:11] There is lot of ram and the system is barely loaded. [04:12] s47, no, i don't think it's gotten to that stage (yet) [04:12] ZykoticK9_: nope, just the options to shutdown/restart and change the keyboard lang [04:12] chaembian: see my PM === Douche is now known as Smegma [04:13] is there an ubuntu lxde forum? [04:13] s47, no "Ubuntu Desktop (Safe Mode)"? that's strange. what version are you using? [04:13] or chat channel? [04:13] ZykoticK9_, Ow, lol [04:13] * ZykoticK9_ Safe Mode, when did Ubuntu start copying MS terminology [04:13] Well, it worked [04:14] huhuhu safe mode. [04:14] ZykoticK9_: how can i check that? uname -a? [04:15] s47, at the GDM screen, you should have a "session" option after clicking your user name. lsb_release -a from a terminal [04:16] ZykoticK9_: nope, i only see lang/key options [04:16] s47, "lsb_release -a" curious now [04:17] what is it called when I enter command line by hitting ctrl+alt+[number] [04:17] seth1010: tty [04:17] ZykoticK9_: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS [04:17] syrinx: thanks, how do I restart gnome from that mode? [04:17] need to know all the ways to get the device name [04:17] seth1010, "sudo service gdm restart" [04:18] I know mount and dmesg [04:18] seth1010: what ZykoticK9_ said [04:18] thanks ZykoticK9 [04:19] hello [04:19] Hey people [04:19] s47, i don't have any Lucid VMs so cant check... sorry man I'm out of ideas for ya. I fail... [04:19] any suggestions on what changes i need to enable bridged networking on a ubuntu 10.04 guest system running in a virtualbox installed on windows? i added the adapter to the machine in virtualbox but when i rebooted the ubuntu guest, it didn't recognize the new hardware [04:19] ZykoticK9_: I don't think I've ever heard of or experienced what he is experiencing... [04:19] I'm trying to install some custom GTK2 Themes, (elementary), but the custom breadcrums llook wierd - there's a white gap in between then, any idea how to fix? [04:20] pretty odd [04:20] Da|Mummy poked [04:20] http://danrabbit.deviantart.com/art/elementary-gtk-theme-83104033 [04:20] syrinx_, i know at some point i've had the same issue, could type my password and Gnome would start - then right back to GDM. Totally forgotten what the issue/solution was in my case... s47 [04:20] Thats what I'm trying to install [04:21] ZykoticK9_: surely this "error" must be creatining a log in x/gnome? where are logs located? [04:21] s47: /var/log/ i believe [04:21] s47, you could have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or perhaps even dmesg [04:21] need to know all the ways to get the device name [04:22] recluse, what sort of device? for hard drives you could use "sudo fdisk -l" [04:22] I want to know the dev of a certain HDD [04:23] chaembian: how did it go? [04:23] recluse, "sudo fdisk -l" [04:23] recluse, also "sudo blkid" might help [04:24] @ZykoticK9_ thanks do you know how to get a device name on the console if you are in a directory? [04:25] ZykoticK9_, syrinx_: thanks... what's the apt-get command for updating the dist? [04:25] recluse, both of my above command are to be run in terminals? so i'm not sure what you're asking. [04:26] s47, the dist? like going to 10.10? [04:26] !upgrade [04:26] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:26] rww comes through in the clutch [04:27] s47, 'cause there is also "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" which updates the system, but doesn't upgrade to a new version [04:28] ZykoticK9_ if you are in a directory of a device and you don't know which /dev??? it is [04:28] ZykoticK9_ is there a command for that [04:28] ZykoticK9_: sorry, yea... how can i go about upgrading to 10.10? [04:29] cya guys [04:29] recluse, i don't know of a command to directly find that info sorry. "pwd" will show you where you are, and "mount" will show all mounted file systems, cross reference. [04:29] bye [04:29] lestat bye [04:29] Who do I have to prioritize to improve mouse performance? [04:30] s47, i don't personally recommend trying to upgrade Ubuntu version (I've seen too many issues) - but if you wanted see the !upgrade factoid rww sent. [04:31] how would i change the order in grub to boot to windows by default? [04:31] s47, there are probably some special steps you need to upgrade from an LTS to a non-LTS version - i'm sure they are covered in the link. [04:32] say, xscan is pretty nice [04:32] ZykoticK9_: fair enough, thanks again for your help. i'll gonna reboot now but i'll be back in a bit :) [04:32] Millentree10, i think you need to change the line "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" in /etc/default/grub (then run "sudo grub-update") BUT my personal attempt at that failed the other day, so hopefully someone else answers ;) [04:33] Millentree10, sorry/correction "sudo update-grub" [04:33] ZykoticK9_, no, install startup manager [04:33] my personal choice would be ubuntu first, but unfortunately im not the only person to use this pc :p [04:33] Millentree10, su manager [04:34] ok === ghost is now known as Guest16940 [04:34] Millentree10, or try nit-wit's suggestion - i've never tried it. [04:36] Millentree10, this page talks about it : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring GRUB 2 [04:36] I used Startup manager and it was simpler than manual edits [04:36] nm-applet will not accept my changes/new connection [04:36] but either way does the same thing ;) [04:36] whats up madsailor [04:37] hey syrinx_ [04:37] ZykoticK9_, madsailor I wondered about that, thanks [04:38] ZykoticK9_ thanks and bye [04:41] Hey, how would I use a docky theme? [04:41] startup manager worked a charm. thx for help, peace [04:41] I've put it in the right place, just not sure how to apply it? [04:41] im turning an 80GB laptop hdd into an external drive for moving files. what should i format it as so it plays nice with Windows and Linux? [04:41] Adom ideally FAT32 [04:42] Millentree10: theres a FAT option, but it does say (32-bit version). is that the same as FAT32? [04:43] what are you formatting with? [04:43] Millentree10: used ubuntu's built in stock disk utility [04:43] gui [04:43] brotha, am need you ide, am cant used my desktop effect and am used lenovo g460 please respon me brotha [04:44] i.e. System > Administration > Disk Utility [04:44] ah. interesting way of saying it, but i presume that yes, that is the same as FAT32 [04:44] brotha, am need you ide, am cant used my desktop effect and am used lenovo g460 please respon me brotha [04:44] thx for the info Millentree10 [04:47] My webcam light just flashed, how can I see what process just used it [04:47] hi all [04:48] hey harmod [04:48] ceo, your video card is an nVidia GeForce G310M then? [04:48] how do I use bash in xchat [04:48] instaed of sh [04:48] so, anyone want to help a lost soul who has no clue about coding and such but really want to figure out ubuntu? :) [04:49] Millentree10, am used intel [04:49] harmod: whats the problem? [04:49] harmod, you don't need to know how to code to use ubuntu. [04:49] oh [04:49] my bad [04:49] well, have to know a bit to install applications that I download :s [04:49] Millentree10, am not used nVidia, am used intel you can see lenovo G460 spesification for intel please give me solution brotha... [04:50] harmod: it depends on what kind of package it is that you downloaded [04:50] ah [04:50] =o [04:50] jtannenbaum, system monitor will show you which processes are running, and you can right click on a likely looking one to see what it has accessed [04:51] harmod: for example, .deb packages are installed with dpkg [04:51] Millentree10, am not used nVidia, am used intel you can see lenovo G460 spesification for intel please give me solution brotha... [04:52] ceo: ask once only please [04:52] that's better :-) [04:52] syrinx_, oke sorry :) [04:52] i forget the botcode for that [04:52] ceo: so, i assume you turned on desktop effect? [04:52] whats the first thing i should install after loading this OS :) .. im still downloading but im so excited [04:52] ceo, what intel graphics model do u have then? [04:52] drcasper: irssi, and emacs ;) [04:52] For some reason, I can't connect to my LAN network... [04:52] syrinx_, yes [04:53] why does flash suck with firefox 4? [04:53] Millentree10, i don't know what the model, how can i see the model ? [04:53] malv: flash is a broken technology if you ask me [04:53] malv because on linux, chromium > firefox [04:53] hehe [04:53] malv, the question is really "why does flash suck" and the answer is "adobe" ;) [04:53] I think Chrome > FF in any OS... [04:54] ^^^ [04:54] yeah that too commodore64th [04:54] mmhmm. [04:55] having to install ubuntu on a virtual box now, my box got stolen from the garage :-( [04:55] even Chromium isn't totally open source (chrome certainly isn't), to FireFox (Iceweasel/Icecat) has a big advantage there in my opinion [04:55] i just notice firefox to be especially deficient in ubuntu [04:55] brez: :( steal it back! [04:56] hopefully the dyndns works and I can ssh to it [04:56] ZykoticK9_: Chromium is open source [04:56] Chrome isn't [04:56] isnt flash what java used to be? java sukz donkey [04:56] syrinx_, i wish - it can't be included in "free" distros, cause parts of it are NOT open sourced [04:56] ill take flash anytime [04:57] darn... I wish I could experience Chromium to its fullest... but I can't connect to my LAN D: [04:57] ZykoticK9_: no problem downloading the source and compiling it, though ;) [04:57] Java's alright IMHO. [04:57] this convo is getting !ot, move it over please [04:57] syrinx_, http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines#chromium-browser [04:57] flash is actionscript (based on javascript i think) [04:57] JS and AS aren't even close [04:57] i mean it from a consumer point of view.. [04:58] Yeah, and I still have no clue how to get my LAN working... [04:58] ceo, i dont know if onboard intel graphics are supported for desktop effects, someone please correct me if i am wrong [04:58] commodore64th: what's wrong with it? [04:58] commodore64th: there is a daily build of chromium, gives you the very latest beta features :) [04:58] Millentree10: mine works fine :D [04:58] Well, I try to connect to my LAN by plugging in an ethernet cable, it attempts to connect, then fails somehow. [04:58] Millentree10: works ok here on Intel video chip [04:58] oh ok [04:59] Millentree10, but, lasterday am have can used it, and am get the tutorial form this channel,. why today can't ?

[05:14] RealOpty: install openssh-server on the server side and you can connect via ssh to run command line commands, When you connect, if you add the -X option (capitalized) you can launch apps on the server side and they will appear on the client system but be running on the server (much like citrix) [05:14] RealOpty: X forwarding is enabled by default in openssh-server [05:14] ActionParsnip, this is out http://paste.ubuntu.com/597706/ [05:14] i have to fix this font i cant read nothing lol [05:14] ceo: I hate when they ID like that, is the system a branded PC or laptop?

There's a file somewhere that logs file associations. [05:25] Millentree10, It's angering me now :( [05:25] ActionParsnip, am have searching it, but notting tutorial for that, and am need to make documentation for the solution,. [05:25] madsailor: I can't remember what file it is, but when you make an association it appears in that file. [05:25] ActionParsnip: Do you write python? [05:25] do you not have any dedicated microphone ports? [05:25] need help with just one question... if i install ubuntu 11.04 beta. will i be able to upgrade to 11.04 stable release or will i have to completely new reinstall ..?

To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [05:26] ssk_the_gr8: I would just wait until, what, 5 days until the release is out [05:26] amm can't used desktop effect, just it my probbelm... so need help for you all... [05:26] bsox, yes, there is, but I'm not sure where exactly to find it. If you can't change the association by the GUI method I suggested, maybe someone can point you in the right direction [05:26] ceo did you say you used to have effects? [05:26] it is probably gnome related [05:27] Millentree10, I'm using an HP Mini, and the headphone port and Mic port are magically merged somehow. === freakyy[t] is now known as freaky[t] [05:27] Millentree10, yes before am have used desktop effect, that so nice, but now am can't used it why ? [05:27] my windows xp is giving me a lot of problems.. i have ubuntu 10.04 cd .. if i install 10.04 can i upgrade to 11.04? [05:27] ssk_the_gr8: yes [05:27] Somehow, Windows XP, vista, and 7 are the only operating systems I've used that recognize it. [05:27] what happened ceo? did it crash, or did you just restart and it turned off? [05:28] Millentree10, hahahha that have i do, but not respon anythink brotha [05:28] madsailor: the problem is the temp files are internet cache and I need to see the thumbnails. If I associate the files with one program it won't show me video, jpg, gif, etc. [05:28] ceo: it's really hard to understand what your trying to say [05:29] syrinx_: so should i go ahead with 10.04 ... the 11.04 update wont delete all the packages and apps and drivers i install? [05:29] syrinx_, am from indonesia, sorry my english not so good, but am have problem "am need to used Desktop Effect [05:29] ssk_the_gr8: no, everything will work fine either way [05:29] is it better to do a fresh install compared to an upgrade? [05:29] I wish HP wouldn't do things that don't make sense. Why try to free up square centimetre in space and not have a mic port? ugh... [05:30] !id | ceo [05:30] ceo: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:30] ssk_the_gr8, i'd highly recommend fresh installing (but it depends on your personal needs really) [05:30] Why have the extremely bright power and wireless light/switches (The wireless one never works) on the front? I'm glad they fixed it in later models... [05:30] commodore64th, my old netbook had a headphone/mic jack on it [05:30] but it came with an adapter [05:30] syrinx_, no body on thare [05:31] I need help with Cairo-Dock and a ATI9250 graphic card. [05:31] Cairo-Dock complains that the plugins are not working, or loaded. [05:31] so many laptop/netbook people in here [05:31] Millentree10, did it work with Linux? I think the earlier HP Minis came with that adapter. [05:31] ZykoticK9: resons for recommending fresh install? [05:31] anyone who uses fluxbox and ivman here? have problem, ivman does not automount. dont know why! [05:31] Odd problem: When I used the main dropdown menu to look at a directory, like Home Folder, it opens Audacious and tries play the music in that folder. I have Ubuntu studio and uninstalling Audacious uninstalls a whole set of programs. [05:31] Sorry, i cannot remember if i asked this already - but is there a lightweight mp3 player for ubuntu 10? [05:32] so many laptop/netbook in here probably because they have the most problems. [05:32] haha true :D [05:32] sknrn, you can use minirok [05:32] my netbook has no problems XD [05:32] ssk_the_gr8, i've personally had issue, and have hung out in this channel over a couple of version upgrades - so have seen many others suffering with issues [05:32] syrinx_, what's its model number?

[05:33] that one lol [05:33] syrinx_, nice if you laptop not have the problem.. you best, but why can [05:33] I'm just glad my netbook has less issues than my Windows 7 dell dimension... good god.

As I said I don't know the file offhand where associations are stored. The best info I found on the ubuntu support site is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mime. Beyond that I'm not much help. Sorry. [05:33] ssk_the_gr8, i always did when using Ubuntu [05:33] ceo: I have a pretty different mobile graphics processor [05:34] now what do u use Arch?

[06:18] Dynetrekk: yes, it will need sudo too [06:18] Millentree10: 1GHz - 1.83GHz [06:18] i think to do that, you would need to go to your BIOS [06:18] ActionParsnip: just accept defaults? [06:18] I want to clock my CPU around 500MHz if possible [06:19] does your bios allow over/under clocking? [06:19] mine doesn't :( [06:19] lol [06:19] na na na na,, am have crazy for this problem.. neneneenen [06:19] Dynetrekk: for what? [06:19] ActionParsnip: there's a lot of "multiply-claimed blocks" [06:19] MethedMan are u trolling? [06:19] ciao [06:19] About how safe would it be to cp my .bashrc in ubuntu to arch? In terms of compatability between the two--how debian/ubuntu-centric is ubuntu's .bashrc?.

[06:21] and it got extremely loud [06:21] ActionParsnip: I don't remember [06:21] is there a speedfan equivalent for linux? [06:21] ActionParsnip: I think I'll just try the defaults. the install is new so no big harm done if I have to reinsall [06:21] Kyle: no [06:22] (and no, I haven't modified .bashrc yet, excepting `EDITOR=...`) [06:22] oke back one QUESTION, HOW TO REMOVE NVIDIA PACKED ALL PACKED [06:22] What reason would you want to underclock a cpu? [06:22] Millentree10, I can overclock my HP Mini if I desolder a resistor on the top of the circuit board. I'm fully capable of doing that because of years of soldering experience, but I don't have a hot enough iron, and I don't want to risk breaking my Mini. (sigh) [06:22] oke back one QUESTION, HOW TO REMOVE nvidia packed need to remove for fix my probelm, how do i remove with --purge command. [06:22] kyle: save battery life and power.

[06:23] WOuldnt a power managment prog be more efficient? [06:23] MethedMan: plug it in? [06:23] or even just for print server ^ :p [06:23] thien: I suggest you install a deb for it, then remove it. If drive space is plentiful then just make it not autorun and ignore the app altogether [06:23] looks like fsck did the trick! [06:23] for remove this packeged http://pastebin.ca/2049606 [06:24] oh yeah and underclocking it will definitely help the cpu last a longass time [06:24] oii please am have some help from compiz membber that need me to remove http://pastebin.ca/2049606 [06:24] ActionParsnip: im gonna test [06:24] Millentree10: exactly. i want to setup a print server mainly and also to preserve the life of the machine. [06:24] ok cool [06:24] ceo: the things in the 2nd colomn are the package names, remove them in software centre [06:25] MethedMan, does your bios allow you to change the FSB or the core multiplier? [06:25] it is the stock IBM bios from about 6-7 years ago [06:25] Millentree10: any recommendations for optimizing the bios for use with ubuntu? [06:26] how to get APT line from https://launchpad.net/~dockbar-main/+archive/ppa/+packages [06:26] well i was just thinking, if the cpu has an unlocked multiplier that would be the only way i can think of to go under the limit: boot into your systems BIOS [06:26] thien, sudo add-apt-repository (ppa code string here) [06:27] MethedMan, i assume this is a laptop? [06:27] thien: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa ; sudo apt-get update [06:27] thien: https://launchpad.net/~dockbar-main/+archive/ppa is the link [06:28] yes. IBM T60. searching on thinkwiki.org now for bios [06:28] where to get the text "ppa:dockbar-main/ppa" [06:29] thien, from the link above [06:29] I figure I'll just try copying .bashrc, as it doesn't look too crazy.

[06:36] how to add a program shortcut into Docky, it isn't in Application menu [06:37] lexvegas: Pretty much any public webserver gets those. They're from botnets looking for vulnerable versions of software like phpmyadmin. As log as you're keeping up to date on security updates, you're fine. [06:38] Is there a way I can do a command line install of Natty? Not a server install, but one with linux-generic, acpi, etc. [06:38] lexvegas, im going to bet that that a fully updated ubuntu server would be absolutely fine [06:38] just make sure that "fully updated" remains true at all times [06:38] so how to change it's icon [06:38] aptidude_: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks!

I did 'watch -d cat /proc/interrupts' and saw the IO-APIC-Edge-timer freeze during the lock up. [07:53] soreau: why we use redirection using cat and also after this why we move hosts.bak to host as firstly we have to do viceversa [07:54] jiltdil: Basically, that command just moves known_hosts out of the way, then when you ssh in, it will create a key in known_hosts again. After that, the cat command appends the information to the .bak then you move it back so it has everyone on board [07:55] hi [07:55] السلام عليكم [07:55] works [07:55] soreau:thanks you cleared my concept in a nice way thanks alot [07:55] jiltdil: no problem [07:56] question: can someone explain what are the meaning of 0000 in file permission , i atleast know what 1,2,4 means..but what are each zeros stands for ?

[07:58] what this mean Lighttpd not installed, skipping [07:58] rhizmoe: ok how about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th zero ? ...what does each means ?

[08:59] jhches21: you can add a folder to $PATH and you can call the command without naming the folder [08:59] Actionparsnip that sounded like what I wanted, let me try it. Thanks. (Where is this $PATH? Still kinda new) [08:59] jhches21: or you can make a simple script to run the command and put it in /usr/bin, if the pwd needs to be the same as the app you are calling then you will need the script [09:00] jhches21: Create a script (in /usr/local/bin) containing the full path of the command you want to run [09:00] hi, i need to get "gptsync from my distros repositories" but i have no idea what that means [09:00] ActionParsnip I tried putting a link in the /bin and it didn't work. (heh, of course) Can you guys explain more about this script? [09:00] jhches21: its a variable, you can add to it by adding: export PATH=$PATH:/folder/folder in ~/.bashrc [09:00] they are deb files, and what do i do with them?

[09:23] new_kid: i'd try #gnome [09:23] okay ...thanks [09:23] ActionParsnip, the solution is very simple [09:23] went to compiz configuration and enabled the cube and then i cant remember but i lost all [09:23] new_kid: it uses different settings which you can manipulate at CLI [09:23] somed8: Does it work if you run metacity --replace from a terminal? [09:23] ActionParsnip, soreau and I find it [09:24] Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager [09:24] you mean there's no GUI for that yet? [09:24] somed8: I said metacity --replace [09:24] soreau, then they'd be switched around; the left acts as if it were the right and vice versa. [09:24] Baribal: So switch the monitor cables [09:25] new_kid: not as far as I know, i've tried gnome3 a few times and there are some people's attemps at gui apps, only changes I made were in CLI [09:25] soreau: did that command and nothing happened [09:25] somed8: Then compiz is not the culprit [09:25] Okay ......Thanks again & bye [09:25] somed8: There is something else pretty messed up [09:25] somed8 logout from gnome, open a text console , login user in console, mkdir ~/oldsttings mv ~/.*gnom ~/.gtk* ~/.compiz* ~/oldsettings, exit console, login back to gnome [09:25] soreau, then the bars that are on the right monitor (where I want them, only I want it to be the right monitor functionally, too) be on the left again. [09:26] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I can't understand at all how Print Screen works.

However when I then copy a piece of text, the screenshot is removed from clipboard. Is this a bug? When I for example copy an image in Gimp & then copy a piece of text, the image isn't removed from clipboard, so I don't think [09:26] it's the fault of the clipboard. [09:26] Baribal: It sounds like to me you are just doing it wrong [09:26] leagris: ~/.compiz doesn't exist [09:26] Baribal: What graphics driver are you using?

[09:26] ActionParsnip: leagris: Also, compiz settings are not stored in ~/.config/compiz by default [09:26] somed8, you can move ~/.gconf as well ActionParsnip .compiz may exist if you enabled plain file config backend sometime [09:26] Blarumyrram: you can use parcelite to manage multiple pastes nicely [09:27] !natty | somed8 [09:27] somed8: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

If you use Maverick you will find the OS a lot better as there are fewer issues with it as it is more matue [09:36] is it posible to share files trugh ubuntu 10.10 between ubuntu and windows 7 [09:37] TOMMYNATOR, yes [09:37] do i need anything to be installed [09:37] soreau: ok weird. the mount shows successful but the files are not there, and it seems to not have mounted the right path. argh.

[09:59] going to work as a boot device in any of 100 difffernet machines? theres always the chanvce a machine may have a bad optical drive also. [10:00] rly: But it would help to check the md5sum of the image, and verify the data once its written to disk [10:00] Hi. I'm going to install alien to convert an rpm. How can I uninstall alien and all the dependencies it requires after I'm done with the conversion? [10:00] rly: the mount. If this is an Ubuntu CD, you boot to it, then select "Verify this CD" (or whatever the verbage is nowadays) [10:01] Shapeshifter: sudo apt-get remove alien but why bother removeing it.. [10:01] Shapeshifter: apt-get remove --purge alien && apt-get autoremove [10:01] thanks. [10:01] Is there a way to configure Ubuntu to be in 'ultra-low-maintenance'-mode? [10:01] Shapeshifter: converting an rpm i s going to give a lot more possible issues - then just having alien installed. :) [10:01] terratec aureon 7.1 usb sound card supported? [10:01] Dr_Willis: server install, rather like to keep uneccessary packages out [10:01] rly: What is "ultralow maintenance mode" [10:01] Dr_Willis: need some IBM packages, they only distribute rpm [10:01] Dr_Willis++ [10:02] Shapeshifter: shame on them. :) [10:02] Dr_Willis: for tape backup stuff [10:02] I am installing Ubuntu for someone with less than stellar skills and I want them to have a hassle free computing experience (mostly browsing/email and possibly a virtual machine setup) [10:02] The point being that it is relatively secure for them to browse the Internet, etc. [10:03] rly: if you install the LTS version the updates should be less common. and thus not as big a chance as updates breaking things. [10:03] depends on how you want to balance out 'security' (via updates) vs 'wont break' - get it working.. disable all updates.. lock everything down. [10:03] pageup button doesnt work in gnome terminal? [10:04] "New features" are absolutely _not_ interesting for these persons. It should just work for the next 5 years or so, possibly pressing an update button. If not 1000s of people already tried it, then they do not care. [10:04] control-v is control-shift-v ? [10:04] Sonja: Try Shift+PgUp ? [10:04] where do i edit these keyboard commands? [10:04] rly: stick with the LTS version then [10:04] soreau: ahhh thanks. everything is so shifty :) [10:04] Sonja: pageup/down works here. :) but this is my IRC client in a gnome-terminal. [10:04] yeah i meant teh shell [10:05] so if the terminal took the pageup/down keys.. that would break my irc client [10:05] oh i see [10:05] i got a question about network manager? [10:05] ! ask | herol3oy [10:05] herol3oy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:05] i must get used to shifting :) [10:05] !shift [10:05] how can i my network manager in ubuntu 10.10 [10:05] !Xcompose [10:05] ? [10:05] Sonja: i think if you used screen you could remap the keys also [10:05] Ok, on this particular device the sha1sum matches. [10:05] salve atutti [10:06] herol3oy: its installed by default.. what do you mean> [10:06] After using MD5SUM to see if I had a good download netbook remix of 10.10, I did. I reinstalled it on my netbook using my flash drive. Everything seemed to be fine till I booted it up again. Back to the same screen with a line blinking on the top left of the screen after the Dell boot screen. Anyone have any ideas on what I should try next? [10:06] KKF: whats your video chipset? [10:07] KKF: Does it just sit there forever with a blinking cursor? or did you wait? [10:07] KKF: the 'live system' worked from the flash drive? [10:07] The live system worked from the flash drive just fine. [10:07] It just sat there blinking for a good 5 minutes. [10:08] once I install Ubuntu 10.10 i have got a icon at very top of the screen then I could able to find a wireless network but now it is not there? now I really don't know how can I make it apear again? [10:08] KKF: sounds like its some sort of grub issue perhaps. You could reboot to the live system, and try reinstalling grub. [10:08] KKF: Does it get past the grub loader? [10:08] herol3oy: try running 'nm-applet' perhaps. [10:09] What is grub? And how do I reinstall it? It just barely gets past the dell boot screen with the options of setup boot press 2 and boot options press 0. I am on a dell mini 9. [10:10] KKF: this is a dual booting machine? windows and Ubuntu? Grub is the 'boot menu' that lets you pick what OS to use. Power on -> bios screen (with the hit F2 for options and so on) --> GRUB (menu list of windows, linux, other os's) -> actually boots the OS. [10:10] It is a single boot machine. [10:10] I did the earse partition and install bit [10:11] KKF: so the GRUB menu mayu be getting hidden and its booting into linuix by default. [10:11] power on -> bios screen -> grub (hidden on single OS systems) -> linux [10:11] just not booting at all sadly :( [10:11] KKF: What gpu is it? [10:12] I hate how it hides the grub menu by default on just Linux setups. [10:12] http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/inspiron-mini9/pd [10:12] Dr_Willis: I hate how they switched from esc to shift, to show the menu [10:12] soreau: yep. they need to make it ANY key show the menu [10:12] i found a picture to show u it!!! >>> http://cherknevis.ir/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ubuntu-restart-network-manger.jpg [10:13] Dr_Willis: Aye, thats a stellar idea [10:13] I want that icon to come back again! [10:13] herol3oy: did you try running 'nm-applet' from a terminal ? [10:13] herol3oy: or alt-f2 and run nm-applet [10:13] whats some cool things to do on ubuntu? [10:13] !resetpanel | herol3oy [10:13] herol3oy: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:14] Is anyone here handy with recovering ext4? Is Ted here? :) [10:14] how do I hide everyone loggin in and out of irc on the webclient? [10:14] wow! thanks guys. now I got it! merc [10:14] DaveQB: use your backups [10:14] KKF: depends on which webclient. I dont use any of the web irc clkients [10:14] oh well... so whats the next step guys? What do I do now? [10:14] DaveQB: recvovering from what sort of problem. [10:14] Its my girlfriends brothers system. New to Ubuntu [10:15] I am reinstalling it again but taking out sd card. [10:15] Dr_Willis: Trying to run fsck on it says the FS is mounted or in use [10:15] KKF: You can reinstall grub.. without reinstalling the whole system [10:15] But it is not [10:15] How do I do that? [10:15] We have tried with a LiveCD, Ubuntu 10.10 and systemrescueCD [10:15] Same deal [10:15] DaveQB: you may find the files if you use foremost. I assume by recovery that the data is not reading right and some "important" files are missing [10:15] KKF: first step.. reboot and tap the SHIFT key as its booting. see if you can get a GRUB menuy to show up [10:15] DaveQB: am I in the right ballpark? [10:16] DaveQB: mount command says its not? dmesg gives any error messages? === paissad_ is now known as paissad [10:16] ActionParsnip: No, can't mount due to it saying it is mounted Dr_Willis yes, check /proc/mounts [10:16] KKF: if you cant even get to a GRUB menu. You can reinstall grub. [10:16] I managed to gain access to the FS with debugfs tool [10:16] !fixgrub | KKF [10:16] KKF: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [10:16] Which is a good sign it is there [10:16] KKF: Have you tried booting with nomodeset option? [10:16] KKF: you say you get 2 options at boot, setup boot and boot options, have you tried those? [10:16] DaveQB: if its mounted then run: mount to see where it'smounted [10:16] There is a bug for e2fsprogs 1.41.12 up on launchpad [10:17] ActionParsnip: No not mounted, not listed in /proc/mounts and mount -l| grep sda1 does not list it [10:17] DaveQB: the other day i used dd_rescue (or was it ddrescue) to dd a hd to a file (took 3 days) and mounted the file and recovered some stuff :) [10:17] one is setup the other is boot options [10:17] We have tried with e2fsprogs 1.41.14 though, which I thought would work, but same deal :( [10:17] i am coming from windows 7 [10:17] HDD1 have Winxp+win7, HDD2 have various linux + GRUB 2, how to make GRUB have the winxp+win7 in HDD1 added as boot options? [10:17] Dr_Willis: hmmm that might be an avenue, thanks for the thought [10:17] i guess I will try the restore grub [10:18] Thank you for the help so far guys [10:18] KKF: those sound like BIOS options.. not part of the OS. those are befor the grub thing even is supposed to be loading. [10:18] I can't force it fsck or mount, the cheeky thing [10:18] DaveQB: be sure to use a log file for ddrescue :) and check its docs first [10:18] They are dr. [10:18] I haven't faced this in 10 years of Linux dealings myself. === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [10:18] Dr_Willis: thanks [10:18] KKF: so after those vanish start tapping shift like a madman.. and see if you can get the grub menu to appear. [10:18] The bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/711799 [10:18] Ubuntu bug 711799 in e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) "e2fsprogs wrongly identifies ext4 as mounted" [Undecided,New] [10:18] KKF: i'm not completely sure but I think those minis come with an extra boot loader for their "quick start" [10:19] But seems the same result using 1.41.14 though :( [10:19] SystemrescueCD has 1.41.14 but says it is mounted still. [10:19] So turn off the quick start? [10:19] KKF: is it enabled? [10:20] Dr_Willis: Could I mount it as ext2 you think? [10:20] it was... just turned it off === serene is now known as serenemoon [10:20] Dr_Willis: HDD1 have Winxp+win7, HDD2 have various linux + GRUB 2, how to make GRUB have the winxp+win7 in HDD1 added as boot options? [10:20] still doesn't work [10:20] both the shift key spam method and turning off quick start... going to see if I can restore grub2 [10:21] KKF: then try what Dr_Willis suggested press shift like a mad hatter === serenemoon is now known as maxwell [10:22] MaRk-I: if i grub update, it will add windows installs from OTHER hard disks in boot menu? === maxwell is now known as serene [10:22] I like to ask before i break anything [10:22] tuhin: if they're detected yes...

[10:25] herol3oy: why don't you use one from your own [10:25] how? [10:25] herol3oy: You can set up ssh on a licve cd if you watend to just play with it. [10:25] herol3oy: search google for free shell accounts [10:25] how it is possible? [10:25] herol3oy: or once you got a working ubuntu system. You can install the openssh server.

[10:31] buntfalke: you could remove the old ones. [10:31] Yeah, no. Not seriously. [10:31] via the package manager.. [10:31] I'm not gonna remove them every goddamn time. [10:31] Where's the /etc-file with the number of max. images kept installed? [10:31] buntfalke: remove them with synaptic or apt-get, and support for natty in #ubuntu+1 [10:31] buntfalke: clairfy what you mean then... if a kernel is installed.. it gets added.. the grub settings have a show max # of kernels i recall. [10:32] greetings, how do i make konqueror the default filemanager in ubuntu 10.10 ? [10:32] manual removal is not a solution. it's a (ugly) workaround.

[10:33] guys, anyone tried BTRFS yet? [10:33] tuhin: you dont really need a /boot/ parittion these days.. it could be as small as perhaps 200mb.. (but i use much bigger like 1gb) becuase i keep iso omages there as a rescue option [10:33] MaRk-I: thanks [10:33] tomekh: use purge [10:33] tomekh: apt-get purge [10:33] buntfalke: never seen an option to automatically do that.

(i found) [10:42] princo, check if you have your credentials, ip, etc correct [10:43] princo, and also check if the firewall from windows is open for vnc port [10:43] tuhin: one way 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' that will show, but be carefull it may let you install it to other HD's you got plugged in.

[10:50] "4G" 128Kbps connection costs me 10$ in asia [10:51] princo, [10:51] Yeah I had to reinstall Grub. I take it that since I switched from a Win7 boot up only to Linux was the problem. Thanks guys!! Till the next problem! :) [10:51] where i your server? [10:51] princo, in your LAN or Internet? [10:51] Dr_Willis: the actual 4g spec was decided arbitrarily and a very high number, which they are considering changing because its ridiculous. verizon and sprint actually made new networks, hence 4g - 4th generation. at&t started calling their 3g 4g [10:51] 240 kbps connection cost almost ~2$ per month here in India [10:51] Ben64: so its all.. basically being called whatever they want. :) [10:52] * Dr_Willis makes PiG networking [10:52] Ben64: How deceivingly convenient for them [10:52] they should have a minimum speed defined before they call anything "4G" 128 Kbps is way below 3G speed [10:52] pksadiq: U mean data packet connections ? [10:53] pksadiq: what type of conenction? [10:53] ashmew2: Yes, EDGE / EGPRS connection, but not 3G yet [10:53] 3G too expensive [10:53] here in Bangladesh hey sell 128Kbps @ 10$ permonth too expensive or too little [10:54] is it possible to start two instances of sound-juicer at the same time, to extract songs from two CDs at the same time? [10:54] pksadiq: that 240kbps @ 2 $ is unlimited? [10:54] Mouse|SLP: try it and see? [10:54] Is the easiest way to make a bootable Ubuntu on flashdrive is to boot a machine in to the CD and do it from there ? [10:54] Mouse|SLP: if each cd is its own device. i dont see why not. === Mouse|SLP is now known as An_Ony_Moose [10:55] Dr_Willis: how many kernels u have installed right now? [10:55] Name141: thats one way. Or theres tools at Pendrivelinux web site that let you do it from other os's and no booting of the live cd first. [10:55] Dr_Willis: I try to start another instance, but it just "bumps" the first one. Yes, I do have 2 drives. [10:55] live cD [10:55] An_Ony_Moose: check its options, command line options [10:55] tuhin: it has 2GB limit, and also a ~0.30$ unlimited for 3 Days [10:56] 0.30$ = 15 rupee? [10:56] tuhin yes [10:56] tuhin: exactly saying 13 Rupees [10:56] ubuntu and windows 7 side by side install effects linux os function in any way(other than data access to ntfs volumes)? [10:56] Dr_Willis: wha t's the easiest way from in XP? I want to see how my new machine works without moving his hard drive for now [10:56] Dr_Willis: I can't find anything... Is it possible to "trick" it into making a second instance? [10:56] priyank : nope afaik [10:56] moving this hard drive [10:56] pksadiq: Where do they use rupees? [10:56] so u spend 130 rupee and get unlimited for a month [10:57] soreau: in India [10:57] pksadiq: Does the land look like a zelda game there? [10:57] priyank: how can i take back up ubuntu box ? [10:57] An_Ony_Moose: no idea. could be its just not progremad to allwo it. [10:57] soreau: zelda game uses rupees as money ? [10:57] Name141: pendrivelinux website has tools to take an ISO image and 'put' it on a flash drive [10:58] tuhin: Last I played it [10:58] might be its time to stop !ot, I use now 0.1$/ 2 days , a 50 MB plan , only for irssi,elinks etc [10:58] tuhin: yes. zelda uses rupees :) [10:58] Dr_Willis: with an ubuntu disk I assume [10:58] what is zelda ? [10:58] please how to disable mobile boradband from netork manager using python and dbus .. i can't find an easy way to do it ?? [10:58] Name141: boot ubuntu live cd. use its tools.. but i find the pendrivelinux tools much faster [10:59] wakka: Nintendo Game. [10:59] ok [10:59] ok [10:59] wakka: It's a popular (or not so much) game produced by Nintendo (and off topic for this channel) [10:59] i have erroneously erased an usb hd via usb-creator. a few partitions are now one fat32 partition. afaik, no data was lost apart from that. unfortunately, testdisk doesn't find any of erased partitions. any ideas? gpart didn't help... [11:00] if anything happens to windows installation does it also effects ubuntu on sideby side install? [11:00] priyank: no [11:01] soreau: are you sure [11:01] priyank: Well your question wasn't strikingly clear, so I gave the short answer ;) [11:02] if windows is recovered from recovery cd? [11:02] soreau: if windows is recovered from recoery cd does it? [11:07] hello [11:07] I have a weird problem: sometimes my ubuntu won't restart/shutdown, it get's stuck in that shutdown image forever [11:07] and sometimes it won't boot, it get's stuck at "_" forever and you have to restart [11:08] priyank: windows could remove the boot record and thus 'grub' IF you are uysing a dual-boot setup. [11:09] priyank: and its possible windows could remove/repair the WUBI type installer boot setup as well. [11:09] priyank: those recovery cd's could vary depending ont he comany making them [11:09] i have installed vsftpd server,from other machine it is accesible through anonymous user but when i am using another name of user to connect to the machine having vsftpd installed it is not connectioning saying that 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/amit === michael is now known as Guest68627 === Guest68627 is now known as morsnowski [11:11] jiltdil: does /home/amit exist? and check its permissions and ownership [11:11] Dr_willis:yes it exists [11:12] Dr_willis:what permisson i have to give it to [11:12] jiltdil, permisions for that user [11:13] means what permission [11:13] rwx or r-x [11:13] Hi [11:14] jiltdil, rw [11:14] check permissions on a dir that works - if one exiusts perhaps. [11:14] the owner needs write permissions. of course. :) [11:14] If I install 11.04 beta now, will I have to reinstall after the official release comes out on the 28th? [11:14] Dr_willis:mman:ok [11:14] jiltdil, and the user has to be either the owner or in the group owner [11:14] Empyrium, no [11:14] atlef: thanks [11:15] Will I have to do anything at the time of the release or apt-get update;apt-get upgrade will take care of everything? [11:16] Empyrium, just keep it up to date and you are fine [11:16] !update [11:16] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [11:17] Empyrium: often its better to do clean reinstalls :) [11:18] !beta | Empyrium [11:18] Empyrium: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Natty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.04 when it comes out.

[11:18] Homely_Girl, try hwls [11:19] sorry lshw [11:20] mman, I just look like I know a lot, I don't! lol What is hwls? [11:20] Homely_Girl, why do you want to see the port of the wireless mouse? [11:20] Homely_Girl: lshw = list hardware [11:22] * Dr_Willis looks in theback of his pc.. and sees wher the mouse is plugged in at. .:) [11:22] mman, if I leave my pc 'n turn the monitor off 'n sometimes randomly my mouse stops working 'n I have to press the button on the transmitter 'n then on my mouse! Is a wireless usb mouse. A geekish friend found an article covering this problem 'n a file needs editing....and woosh I'm out of my depth! lol === Milos_ is now known as Milossh [11:23] sounds like the mouse is going to sleep. or somthing. and disconnecting. [11:23] power save problems, yay [11:23] hey, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 x86 on my thinkpad T60, but the screen starts to jitter after a while, any ideas? [11:23] Homely_Girl, i have a wireless keyboard, and normally i have to press any key so that it wakes up and it works again [11:23] power management seems to cause more problems than the amount of power it actually saves [11:24] Ive seen solar-powered wireless keyboards the otehr day :) [11:24] soreau, works fine here [11:24] Dr_Willis: logitech [11:24] iTails|netbook: What does? [11:24] soreau, power management [11:24] They need one that takes power from keypresses :) [11:24] mman, the mouse won't wake my screen up, I press any key 'n mouse won't work. As I said this is a known problem 'n hopefully now I know lshw I can fix it in editing this file. :) [11:25] sheikra: Having any earthquakes lately? 'cause that'll cause it to jitter [11:25] iTails|netbook: I just mean in general for any device [11:25] soreau: hmm ... [11:25] Dr_Willis: YES. [11:25] nobody has any ideas? [11:25] Dr_Willis: And from the heat of your palms [11:26] soreau: maybe because of nuclear radiation from japan? [11:26] Homely_Girl, which file are u editing? well with lshw will show you the hardware that you have in you pc, so just search for a line that says someting with usb and wirless mouse or something similar [11:26] sheikra: Might've been some solar flares this week, who knows [11:26] soreau: heat sinks that take power from teh CPU and warm up your coffee! :) [11:26] soreau: but windows didn't do that ;-) [11:26] Dr_Willis, i wonder how much friction the key presses must generate to power a laptop. :P [11:26] mman, I have a link to a forum telling me wot to do...will follow it. [11:27] sheikra: Probably a graphics driver issue then. Which do you use? [11:27] phibxr: get one of those 'drinking' birds that dip its head up/down and use it to power everything. [11:27] soreau: mobility radeon i think [11:27] Homely_Girl, ok [11:27] soreau: X1300 [11:27] sheikra: Which version of ubuntu? [11:27] mman, Thanks for you help. :) [11:27] Dr_Willis, :D [11:27] Homely_Girl, ;) [11:28] soreau: 10.10 32-bit [11:28] helping????? ;) [11:28] soreau: should I use the factory drivers? [11:28] terratec aureon 7.1 usb sound card supported? [11:28] sheikra: 'Factory drivers'? [11:29] raven_: best way to find out - is get a live cd and test it. [11:29] is it possible to see your temps/fan speed from a live CD or flash disk? [11:29] flash drive* [11:29] raven_: usb sound cards are often problematic [11:29] Dr_Willis, i ask before i buy it [11:29] sheikra: If by factory drivers you mean fglrx, then no. The proprietary driver hasn't supported your card for a couple years now [11:29] soreau: I mean .. the drivers from ATI === james is now known as Guest13553 [11:29] soreau: oh, I hate ati [11:29] Name141, most probably, dont know any program now that can do that, but im most probably sure you can [11:29] raven_: check the forums in that case. i see quiet a few usb-sound card issues in here every month. [11:30] soreau: I'm officially abandoned [11:30] raven_: theres the HCL also. but its often not as up to date [11:30] !hcl [11:30] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:30] sheikra: Instead, you should upgrade your kernel and userspace by installing.. a newer kernel (from a ppa) and xorg-edgers repo (also a ppa) [11:30] Name141, just find a program that does that and thats it [11:30] Dr_Willis, ok === pierre__ is now known as lordbanana25 [11:31] soreau: not sure what are "ppa" and "xorg-edgers" [11:31] such as ? [11:31] sheikra: Alright, let me get you some commands to try [11:32] Name141: does the command sensors work? [11:32] soreau: thanks [11:32] Name141, just found a program 'xensors' in the ubuntu software center [11:32] what is the package that installs 32bit programs on a 64bit ubuntu [11:33] is it lsb-core? [11:34] yeah sensors work [11:34] Name141, yup, with command sensors it gives you a temp, (dont know which one dough) but guess its cpu temp, with xsensors you get even voltage and spead of fan [11:34] How do i search for files if i'm on xubuntu? [11:34] is there a command in terminal [11:34] ? [11:34] how would I figure out if the machine knows how much ram there is ? [11:34] how can i convert pc to bluetooth headset for my cell phone ? [11:34] to scan a directory? [11:35] soreau: maybe I should upgrade to 11.04? [11:35] narcislinux: help.ubuntu.com [11:35] sheikra: Yes, after its release [11:35] I mean is there a command I can use ? [11:35] natrixnatrix89: do find | grep [11:35] sheikra: Here is how to install xorg-edgers: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:35] soreau: the update manager told me it's released? [11:35] pksadiq: thanks! [11:35] you can goto 11.04 now...... i have [11:36] cat /proc/meminfo ? [11:36] sheikra: To undo it: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers [11:36] buff27, but its not the official one [11:36] buff27, not the final release [11:36] i know........ but good enough for me [11:36] natrixnatrix89: i sould find there ?but where ? [11:36] 28th of april would be final [11:37] soreau: thanks so much! do I need a new kernel? [11:37] already waitin in #ubuntu-release-party [11:37] sheikra: And for your kernel, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (might need to install the kernel package manually after adding this) [11:38] sheikra: And to undo it: sudo ppa-purge gwibber-daily [11:38] :/ [11:38] how to check permission in numbers [11:38] soreau: I'll try the driver first [11:39] sheikra: Well the main part of the driver is in the kernel. The userspace stuff does 2/3D on X [11:39] narcislinux: 1. sec ill help you.. [11:40] soreau: so ... I have to get a new kernel? [11:40] Dr_willis:it has wrx permission [11:40] is there a program I can use to 'stress' the machine ? [11:40] sheikra: No, you can try just adding xorg-edgers and see if it fixes it [11:40] Name141: i saw some stresstest disrto just the other day at disrtowatch web site. :) [11:40] sheikra: It will install the gallium driver so you will have opengl2.1 support [11:40] soreau: I'll see. Thanks [11:41] jiltdil: in rwx consider is as 111 = 7 in binary for r-- it is 100=5 in rw- its 110=6 etc [11:41] soreau: will apt-get automatically switch the configuration to the new driver? [11:41] sheikra: For xorg-edgers, yes [11:41] narcislinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [11:42] soreau: I'll try. [11:43] Dr_willis:i gave the permisson to the home director of taht user of 755 [11:43] sheikra: maybe I should downgrade to 10.04. It didn't have this problem ;-) [11:44] Dr_willis:but still using that username to ftp it is saying 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/amit [11:44] sheikra: That gwibber repo might not be the best solution for a newer kernel though as its a daily build, so it could be broken (more often) [11:44] sheikra: But the idea is to get a newer kernel and userspace to see if it fixes the problem [11:44] why I can't find *.pid files with search for files.. application in gnome [11:44] there is file apache2.pid but it can't find it with the application why> [11:45] file is in /var/run/ [11:45] dejan_: where do you find search for files?

To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [11:46] ok [11:47] natrixnatrix89: tq [11:47] dejan_: Or you can use find like this: find /var/run/ -name *.pid [11:47] soreau, it finds only one file [11:47] but there are more with extension .pid === NG_ is now known as ng_ [11:47] narcislinux1: i tried to do it once. It was a struggle, but in the end i got it working very good.. [11:47] It has to be configured with pulseaudio [11:47] dejan_: What about find /var/run/ -name *.pid -print ? [11:47] you just install padevchooser [11:48] and then set the default sink to your bt headset [11:49] sudo find / -name *.pid -print ? [11:49] find: paths must precede expression: ?

[12:21] seth__: best advice : just ask your Q, someone may be able to help [12:21] And I have already set the put the display to sleep in power management [12:21] did the update command [12:22] eXscalate: ive heard of others that have sound in only speakers, or headphone issues. but ive never seen a definate fix. the forum may have some things to try.

You mean your bios password? [12:23] acnot: you can use it if it not causing your problem, i suggest that you test by disabling all power management and screensavers [12:23] acnot: sys>prefs>screensaver (uncheck lock screen there) [12:23] not sure it wont let me boot [12:23] acnot: Also see power management settings [12:23] seth__: you cant even get to the BIOS screens?

(other browsers may be supporting this now) [12:39] Dr_Willis, yeah FF4 does, not 3.6 that I have [12:39] Dr_Willis, and I can confirm it does work fine, but only a handful of videos have a html version [12:39] html5* [12:39] if i install a program in wine, where does it install in Hdd? [12:40] so no-one else has this issue then basically! [12:40] neurochrome: never noticed if it was just some at youtube or not :) [12:40] tuhin: ~/.wine [12:40] tuhin, .wine ?

Vimeo and other flash sites work fine [12:40] and xhtml [12:40] home/.wine/drice_c ??? [12:40] not me, my 64 bit player works well [12:40] i want to know where disk space will be used? [12:40] but uses too many cpu cycles [12:41] neurochrome: sounds liek it may be somting to do with how it handles comemrcials perhaps? or do those videos even have comercials? [12:41] tuhin: where your home is stored at. [12:41] tuhin: /home/username/.wine/drive_c/ remeber that ~ is the same as /home/username/ [12:41] phil42, ok check this out.... not only is it this machine, but my other 64bit machine that runs 10.10 64bit also has the same issue [12:41] neurochrome: got a url to a videwo with the issue? i will test here. [12:41] you need to test by running without that router [12:42] Dr_Willis, no, there aren't any commercials, and as I stated above just now, it is not only this machine that is affected [12:42] home is in different partition /home [12:42] JI [12:42] I think it may be the router! ;) [12:42] neurochrome: it seems a deeper issue then [12:42] here's one -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XliOko5xrr0&feature=related [12:42] tuhin: /home/ is the dir where all the users 'homes' are at.

[12:43] ok, so installed programs will use space from home partition [12:44] i thought they will take space in / root partition [12:45] hi [12:46] tuhin: if /home/ is not on its own partition.. then its on the same as / (the root partition) [12:46] tuhin: user files/work almost always is in /home/ [12:46] 呵呵 [12:46] ok [12:46] 大家好 [12:47] nameless`: still there [12:47] Dr_Willis: how many kernels u have installed right now ? and how much space the "kernels" taking?

[14:35] oh sorry no im using 10.10 meerkat [14:35] and other files [14:35] I'm being serious, bleachit use to have it [14:35] but it doesn't [14:35] Dr_Willis, Can i lulz for like 50 lines [14:35] Hi, I am switching my work PC with a brand new one. I want to retain Ubuntu /root and /home as much as possible. Is there a way which can get list of all the current packages installed? [14:35] NoobScratcher, well, try playing sound from the terminal, say with aplay or something like that, without GNOME running [14:36] !clone | peeq [14:36] peeq: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:36] peeq: watch out for installing unneeded drivers if doing that clone script on a differnt machine [14:36] im new to ubuntu how would i go about doing all this sorry [14:36] lxuser, lolololololololololololololololololololololol [14:36] well, I'll look it up in google, thanks anyway and have a happy easter all.

[14:37] you laugh at me? lol me too, I should just look it up on google before coming in here. I just thought it would be easier to ask the experts. [14:37] NoobScratcher, keep in mind we're just trying to determine whether this is a desktop problem or something else. go CTRL_ALT F1, do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then cd to some directory where you have a sound file, say mp3, then use mpg321 ./soundfile [14:38] Dr_Willis, thanks I will note down for any machine specific drivers. So after I do that, I guess I would need to copy all the 'dot' files and directories to my new PC. Anything else? [14:38] bleachbit has clear firefox stuff here i just saw.. but ff also has the feature built in. [14:38] want a video tut aswell [14:38] peeq: copy your /home/ to the new pc. that would copy over all your user files and settings. [14:38] how about a conference [14:38] wait to far [14:38] sorry [14:38] TheHackOps: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:42] Matr|x, do from a terminal, "lspci | grep ether" - that will tell you the chipset [14:42] Ok, DW im scared of the flood bot anyway [14:42] peeq, correct. "id -a username" will tell you the UID [14:42] What is the social ubuntu channel again?

How can I remove *only* those packages?

[14:46] kellnola: not that obvius. When I remove the hole suit, I can install everything back without the style, so it uses the default style from libreoffice [14:47] Dr_Willis, when i doing grub install cmd which i send u pervisouly but it is showing me bad idea use --force [14:47] eth0:RTL8168c/8111c a 0xf832e000 , 00:00:00:00:00:00 , XID 3c4000c0 IRQ 31 [14:48] Matr|x, is it set to dhcp? what does "ifconfig eth0" tell you?

[14:50] Halp. I am looking for how to have my terminal on boot be set to "always on top" [14:50] HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00 [14:50] Dr_Willis, What about files in /etc, do they get copied too using that clone script? [14:50] kellnola, file names [14:50] and how to have two windows be set to be "always on top" [14:50] peeq: no they would not [14:50] Matr|x, what is this adapter plugged into? [14:50] Marvin, in windows, you can use advanced system care and go to other tools and it has that feature, but with Linux, sorry can't help. [14:50] peeq: it just clones the installed package listing. [14:50] laptop [14:50] Marvin, the find command, or the GNOME search utility [14:51] lxuser, me and windows are great enemies! [14:51] hellouuuuuuu [14:51] Halp. I am looking for how to have my terminal on boot be set to "always on top" [14:51] foosicle: you mean gnome-terminal in X? compiz has a plugin to do that stuff for specific window/apps/titles [14:51] yes [14:52] kellnola, sometimes back someone suggested a scripted program that searches for duplicated files, but I forgot what it was. [14:52] k [14:52] Marvin, no the other end [14:52] theres some windows setting compuiz plugin for that. [14:52] Matr|x, no the other end [14:52] Dr_Willis, So I have to make backups of apache conf files in /etc and other apps too. So I think now, 1) Clone 2) Restore /home 3) restore specific configurations from /etc. This should do it? [14:52] my wireless card not working in Bactrack 4..plz help [14:52] Marvin, Accessories -> Search for files [14:53] peeq: you could just backup thge whole drive and restore it to the new pc if you wanted. [14:53] any help [14:53] iker: we dont do backtrack support.. see the b acktrack channels [14:53] kellnola, it's beyond those basic functionality, as in an additional package/program/application that one has to install. [14:53] !backtrack | iker [14:53] iker: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[14:54] or move the HD to the new box. :) [14:54] sorry about this. [14:54] Dr_Willis, most likely the fstab and so forth will be wrong and the system may not even boot [14:54] MaRk-I, ubottu exactly! that's the name was forgetting! Thanks big time! [14:54] unless he uses dd or something like that [14:54] Marvin: yw [14:54] krabbe: ive seen backup/restore tools that automacially fix the fstab. [14:55] hello [14:55] Dr_Willis, I guess. [14:55] any help [14:55] dd then gparted.. have been used also. [14:55] Matr|x, what is your ethernet plugged into? a router? a switch? a DSL/cable modem?

[14:57] a-saint_: shouldent be that much differnt then a normal install [14:57] a-saint_: i do full install to external flash drives all the time [14:58] Quick question: I'm trying to connect my ubuntu laptop to my TV, and the picture keeps moving up. [14:58] akin: connect via what kind of connector. [14:58] Like it's scrolling...any thoughts? [14:58] vga [14:58] hello can please some one help me installing ubuntu on an external usb hard disk [14:59] a-saint: clariofy what the issue is... You start installer.. tell it the external drive.. be sure t the end that grub installs to the exteral drive.. done. [14:59] never mind... [15:00] Dr_Willis my concern is the data that are on hdb5 I wouldn't want them to get wiped out [15:01] Hi all. Anyone remember xdesktopwaves? I can't seem to get it to make waves while I'm moving a window, and apparently that's possible. Anyone know how?

My window movement is already opaque! [15:04] Sidewinder1 ubottu yes am afraid that while i install ubuntu I wipe out the hdb5 partition which is ntfs and got the data I need [15:04] Matr|x, There's been trouble with that driver. try unloading it and going with r8169, some reported success with this. 'rmmod r8168' then 'rmmod 8169' then 'modprobe r8169' === ng_ is now known as NG_ [15:04] how im going to unload it? [15:05] i dont know [15:05] how [15:05] ? [15:05] Matr|x: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:05] lol. [15:06] jest tu ktoś z polski/ === seba is now known as Guest36097 [15:06] !pl [15:06] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [15:06] whats a good irc client for ubuntu? [15:06] compdoc: xchat [15:06] xchat imo [15:06] compdoc: irssi [15:06] thx [15:06] I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use? [15:07] is someone with Polish? [15:07] yes I am [15:07] is there any program to delete double lines of text? [15:07] you know any Polish news channel? [15:07] irssi doesnt show up in the software center, so xchat-gnome it is [15:08] No I don't [15:08] ok,understand [15:08] I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use? [15:08] compdoc: "sudo apt-get install irssi" [15:08] compdoc, was that supposed to be funny on purpose? :-) [15:08] swm: I don't think so :( [15:08] was it funny? [15:08] yes. [15:08] Guest36097: the question makes little sense; can you rephrase? what are you trying to do ? [15:09] figured it out on my own - was a resolution issue. [15:09] compdoc, irssi is a cli irc client [15:09] a-saint: when in doubt - make backups of imporntant stuff [15:09] I can see te effect use the command on two other process [15:09] compdoc, if you wanted to install it, you would probably use apt-get. But since it did not show up in your gui program, you went with the gui irc client [15:09] Im trying to find a way to list channels on freenode that start with ##, like ##hardware. They dont show up in mirc [15:09] compdoc, of course, that makes complete sense. [15:10] * thoams cries. [15:10] knows someone typically Polish channel? [15:10] compdoc, also, I suggest using xchat instead of xchat gnome. [15:10] <- gui guy [15:10] compdoc, np with that [15:10] compdoc, it was just funny :-) [15:10] smw, you are easily amused :) [15:10] try "/list *hardware*" [15:11] ^ compdoc [15:11] I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use? [15:11] Dr_Willis this isn't an only 2gb data it's a 100gb of data [15:11] compdoc, xchat > xchat-gnome because xchat-gnome has bigger buttons === Guest39366 is now known as alhen [15:11] compdoc, (I have used both and I am using xchat now) [15:11] a-saint: so? Im backing up 3TB of data right now... [15:11] Guest36097: using those commands, you can probably invoke whatever process it is that alters a given process's priority. [15:11] There's been trouble with that driver. how to ??try unloading it and going with r8169, some reported success with this. 'rmmod r8168' then 'rmmod 8169' then 'modprobe r8169' [15:11] a-saint: data worth keeping is worth backing up. [15:11] thoams, the problem is, I want to see what other channels there are that start with ##. I already know about ##hardware [15:11] a-saint: do what you want I guess. [15:12] I know but I have to show it, Can I do skcript [15:12] how to make of usr/share/local repository? its in sources list in synaptic. [15:13] !alis > compdoc [15:13] compdoc, please see my private message [15:13] Dr_Willis i just need to know the safe way of installing ubuntu without loosing my data [15:14] Halp. I am looking for how to have my terminal on boot be set to "always on top" [15:15] a-saint: hard drives can die at any time.. if you know how to partition disks and dont touch the ntfs.. it should be safe.. [15:15] i can not find it in the simple compiz settings manager [15:15] a-saint: if you do somthing wrong.. you could delete your partitions. its worth learning how to partion hard drives [15:15] a-saint: make some unallocated space - and tell installer to use unallocated space. is the normal way [15:15] a-saint: if you're install Ubuntu from Windows, try the Wubi installer. It'll do all that partitioning magic automagically. But people are right, it's good to know how to do it yourself. [15:15] I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use beceouse I have to show the effect? [15:15] ing* [15:16] a-saint: if its all to complex. try ubunti in virtualbox and practice partiuoning drives in vbox. [15:16] thoams, Wubi installs inside windows and does NOT partition the system [15:16] wubi dosent do partitons. it makes a 'file' that has the ubuntu install in it. :) [15:16] Doesn't it? [15:16] Even better! [15:16] if i copy my backup of var/cache/apt/archives (from another install of same version ubuntu) to usr/share/local repository in a new install in different pc, it will save from redownloading stuff? [15:16] Takes less long. [15:16] thoams: untill windows breaks [15:16] lol. [15:16] tuhin, correct [15:17] tuhin, there are also ways to make your own repo and stuff. But I have used that hack before :-) [15:17] Dr_Willis thoams no am installing from live media , and am reading a link provided above on what to do [15:17] tuhin: you could copy it to the other machiuhes /var/cache/apt/archives also [15:17] tuhin: OR you set up one box on the lan to be a apt-cacher-ng server. [15:17] how to do that smw? [15:17] tuhin, what Dr_Willis just said [15:17] There's been trouble with that driver. how to ??try unloading it and going with r8169, some reported success with this. 'rmmod r8168' then 'rmmod 8169' then 'modprobe r8169' [15:18] how to apt-cacher-ng server. [15:18] for a network - apt-caccher-ng is handy [15:18] tuhin: it has docs and turtorials online [15:18] for setting it up [15:18] ok lookign up [15:18] inbstall on main box. set up others to use it as an apt proxy [15:18] Matr|x: doesn't "rmmod *" suffice for unloading a driver? [15:18] Dr_Willis, I remember using aptproxy awhile ago. Is it better? === zero_ is now known as stefanos90 [15:19] oh actually DON'T try "rmmod *" in the CLI, that'd probably be a bad idea. [15:19] is it possible to install OLd version from local repository instead of latest from web this way? [15:20] I had sound, now I don't... Where's the best place to start looking? Was there a lucid update lately that's known to have broken some sound cards? [15:20] alsamixer doesn't give me many faders to play with... [15:22] hey [15:22] smw: its newer. and has some other features i belive [15:22] Dr_Willis, ok, thanks [15:23] tuhin: if you want to force the install of an old deb.. you proberly want to use other ways [15:23] good morning, how i can install gnome 3 on lucid lynx? [15:23] rmmod r8168 [15:23] give erros [15:23] no mdules [15:23] moduls [15:24] modules not exit [15:25] Dr_Willis am on the partitionning phase where I deleted the sdb2 and sdb3 I got a 102000 mb free space can you help from here ? [15:25] a-saint: you are keeping sdb4 then? [15:25] Dr_Willis the sdb5 is intact [15:26] no sdb4 is present only sdb5 [15:26] a-saint: a logical partiton is on a extended partition. so somthing seems weird. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [15:26] Hello. I did search for hours how to do this. Some say "learn Linux" I am trying but I have nasty ADHD and cant concentrate much. My question is I downloaded this and have no clue what to do next http://www.zshare.net/image/8932985222acb2e7/ [15:26] if you still see sdb5 i guess its ok :) [15:27] a-saint: so make the new partition layout as you like. with one for / and a swap partition. and perhaps a /home [15:27] what I have is an install.sh file and I am supposed to do something with it but what ? [15:27] Dr_Willis very good so primary partition should be / or swap [15:28] Dr_Willis and what size should i give it [15:28] make sure it executable, and type ./install.sh [15:28] a-saint: depends onyour needs [15:28] a-saint, Hey Dr Willis is a Psychaitrist hence a "shrink" in Montreux Switzerland... funny [15:28] a-saint: i make / at least 10-30gb. rest in home, and whatever i need for swap [15:28] or sudo ./install.sh [15:28] nmaxchat: my first name is willis. :) [15:30] compdoc, Lemme try that [15:30] Dr_Willis do i use it as swap area with / mountpoint? [15:31] compdoc, It tells me no such file or directory. I know I am supposed to move it but thats where I stall [15:31] anybody === trijntje_netbook is now known as trijntje [15:31] nmaxchat, where did you get the file? [15:32] you have to be in the same directory as install.sh, or type inthe path to it [15:32] I downloaded color folder and the author just updated it [15:33] compdoc, I kind of undesratnd that but have a hell of a time figuring out the path [15:33] hello everyone!

[15:48] TheAnachron, take a screenshot "printscreen" upload to picpaste.com let us take a look at what you mean [15:48] Dr_Willis: the partition is 133GB and only 4.3 GB is user right now , i might need to make new partition out of it from the last part later (if i decide to install other distro) [15:48] a-saint: you are putting things on extended/logical partitons. YOu seem to have only the sdb2 primary. rest are extended/logicals [15:48] nmaxchat, you prolly have to feed install.sh a command, like: ./install.sh dosomething [15:48] oCean: nope.

Sorry I am so slow [15:54] TheAnachron: if that is the only line, then there is no software-center running. Or does it have other name in german? [15:54] can I get some advice on why my dual partitioned install of ubuntu and windows wont boot windows? [15:54] from the grub boot loader i select windows the screen goes blank and the boot loader screen appears again [15:54] a-saint: seems they are out of order. so thats not normal but it may work [15:55] desktop on a server with a networking setup [15:55] nmaxchat. open install.sh in an editor [15:55] would it be better to have zentyal as a seperate vm?

[15:56] oCean: still the status db is locked [15:56] a-saint: it will proberly work. but i dont do my layouts that way [15:56] Dr_Willis so i go forward [15:56] as a point of reference, the windows version of vlc has no problems playing the same files on the same computers [15:56] hahaha [15:56] compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/597881/ [15:56] TheAnachron: ah ok. now type sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock then sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:56] ubottu, See... [15:56] so at this point, i'm having to boot in to windows every time i want to watch a video [15:56] a-saint: all you really need at a minimum is a / and swap partitions. leaving sda5 untouched [15:56] TheAnachron: this should get your db back in sane state [15:56] nmaxchat, are you using KDE? or Gnome? [15:57] Dr_Willis ok very good [15:57] oCean: nope, its still not unlocked :/ [15:57] I believe Gnome but I read what worked for one often worked for the other [15:57] oCean: it said process killed but still locked [15:57] compdoc, I believe Gnome but I read what worked for one often worked for the other [15:57] oCean: http://pastebin.ca/2049753 [15:58] can a vbox machine access a hardware sound card?

[16:02] nmaxchat, ooo well unless there is a theme available for that I cant think of any way but let me check hold on [16:02] TheAnachron: that is a problem, since that process is in uninterruptable sleep (D) You cannot get rid of that process: it will not accept any 'signals' or 'interrupts' [16:02] coz_, I had rainbow folders on Wincrap [16:02] oCean: so only restart will fix it?

[18:23] Can I make chrome select the entire URL when cursor enters it like on MS? [18:23] i friggin loooove ubuntu. way more fun than windows. but i cant get pinyin input working on it....

[18:24] Hi - so... if I want to control another computer on my home network from my home network and from outisde (i.e. the Internet) can I do it with either SSH encrypted tunneling or VCN and ... is one better? [18:25] good evening [18:25] Isnt there a remote terminal? [18:25] or is that way too involved a question [18:25] PINYIN is the phonetic way to input chinese ... im looking for the ibus pinyin input method but for some reason cant find it [18:25] gmachine_24, what do you mean by "control" - a terminal session? a desktop? [18:26] gmachine_24, i would choose ssh tunnel ( terminal like ) but VNC ( desktop like ) is an other way of control. [18:26] kellnola, a desktop [18:26] gmachine_24: inside LAN is easy... with vino.... outside you'll need to port forward your ports [18:26] how i can videos by youtube show in umg format ? [18:26] I can do port forwarding [18:26] I already do for my music server [18:27] gmachine_24, well you can certainly tunnel VNC via ssh, or you can go with a full blown VPN. ssh is simpler for just one machine [18:27] yes, but videos [18:27] kellnola, yes, just one machine [18:27] gmachine_24: then just setup port forwarding for ssh and vnc [18:27] MaRk-I, thanks. (did I get that right?) [18:27] actually I would forgo forwarding VNC and use ssh exclusively, but that's me [18:28] sam_050201: possibly: sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin; then restart ibus and in the preferences, on the input method tab, add Chinese/Pinyin, then activate it with ctrl+space (I don't use ibus for that language, so I'm not entirely sure if that's what you want) [18:28] gmachine_24: yw, also the remote desktop viewer supports ssh now so might be easier [18:28] if I use VNC from a Windows computer . . . does that involve purchasing a vnc program? [18:28] gmachine_24, no [18:28] ok [18:28] thanks everyone. [18:29] is it possible to use the 4th gen touch with ubuntu? [18:29] sync music and such [18:29] you can forward/tunnel VNC over ssh without exposing your desktop to the internet [18:29] kellnola, ok, thanks again. [18:29] I already have the latest pinyin input but its not showing up in the Ibus input menu... MEH! [18:29] Looks like I need to do some more homework. [18:29] Thanks again. [18:30] sam_050201: like I said, you may need to restart ibus first (or log out/back in) [18:30] trism ok. [18:30] ssh is practially magic man, look into it [18:30] but i did that already .. i think im missing something ill have to have a little digg...

[18:33] what do you mean. [18:33] I'm trying to configure tap zones on my Synaptic touchpad for things like volume control and minimize/maximize. Gpointing-Device-Settings doesn't seem to support this, and I'd really rather not muck with Xorg.conf too much. Any suggestions? [18:33] It's like I'm Helen Keller and someone rearranged the furniture. [18:33] gmachine_24, I'm stealing that [18:33] that's ok I stole it from someone [18:33] :) [18:33] gmachine_24, for eg. "ssh -f someone@internetaddress.com -L 20000:internal_lan_machine:5901 -N" will let you open up tsclient on the remote host and type in "localhost:2000" and get an VNC session on your remote machine (granted VNC server is listening on 5901) [18:34] Hi all, is there a way to find out the max RAM size supported by my RAM slots?

[18:35] but remember, 11.10 wont have classic desktop [18:35] kellnola: thanks I am cutting and pasting that last comment.

Any thoughts? [18:35] policyq, If you're upgrading, it of course will, and you can always install the classic desktop via the package manager [18:36] I think it's a matter of not wanting to bloat the default package list [18:36] I'm sure there will be a Ubuntu flavour like Kubuntu for the classic desktop, for those not wanting to use Unity. [18:37] i dont know what you mean [18:37] FrozenFire[alt]: oh that's nice. that's a good point. though i do think it's more matter of wanting to phase it out as the main experience [18:37] if there is a gubuntu that'll prove me wrong [18:37] FrozenFire[alt], policyq this channel is only for *current* version, let's get back on topic please [18:38] gmachine_24, that assumes "internetaddress.com" is your router running an ssh daemon and VNC is listening on 5901 (the default I believe) [18:38] Hey, can can anyone help me out with a networking problem?

[19:04] FrozenFire[alt] : Airflow Temperature Failed in the past ! Also , current temperature of the disk is 42 degree celsius [19:04] didn't know that frozen i'm looking for a small linux that requires very little memory [19:04] ashmew2, I would recommend checking that all of your system fans are functioning, and that you're not blocking any of the outlets on the case. [19:04] freebird, What sort of system are you running this on? [19:04] Xubuntu might be of use [19:05] intel motherbouad [19:05] ! minimal | freebird [19:05] freebird: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:05] FrozenFire[alt] : could a VERY DUSTY Cpu be the issue ? [19:05] ashmew2, Yes [19:05] FrozenFire[alt] : So i can clean it up with a blower..hmm? [19:05] ashmew2, If the power supply detects that the fans aren't running, or that the hardware is overheating, it'll perform a hard shutdown of your system via ACPI [19:06] ashmew2, Be sure not to use a vacuum cleaner or anything with water. [19:06] ashmew2, Use compressed air, if possible. [19:06] i'm looking for a Linux distribution that will easly run on 64b [19:06] 64mb [19:06] FrozenFire[alt] : k ill check if the fans are running with a flashlight. [19:07] freebird, Ah, then you're probably looking at Puppy or DSL [19:07] freebird, Though, you'll run into many problems. [19:07] hi [19:07] Small distributions usually don't come with the "easy to use" tools you're used to [19:07] freebird: Install minimal with awesome (or skip X at all). [19:07] helloo [19:07] ah i see [19:07] ty qin [19:08] 64Mb is still too tight for many distros [19:08] yeah why i was trying puppy [19:08] I'd try Alpine [19:08] i have a problem with ubuntu 10.10 on my acer aspire one netbook [19:08] My recommendation would be to get more RAM for the system. RAM for old system is so cheap nowadays, you can often get it for free at computer shops and the like. [19:08] ok ty dgd__ [19:08] ask | frenzarectah [19:09] is there anybody who can help me? [19:09] ok [19:09] !ask | frenzarectah [19:09] frenzarectah: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:09] frenzarectah, What's the problem? [19:09] freebird: Well, Puppy is not designed for installs, dunno about Alpine. [19:09] frenzarectah, what is it doing [19:09] @FrozenFire[alt] problem with getting more memory is many old sys are maxed out at 64M or 128M already. [19:09] Hi .. I have installed ubuntu 10.10 32bit version on my laptop .. is this possible to upgrade to 63bit ubuntu without reformatting harddisk and preserve old data ? [19:09] that is good to know qin ty [19:09] dgd__, True, but in that case, it's a dumpster system :P [19:09] sridhar_: no [19:09] in some application that i've installed the buttons go up or down at every mouse click :\ [19:10] Ok, this is weird. I can't play dvd's in vlc media player. any help? [19:10] why is command "sudo displayconfig-gtk" not working in terminal it gives "command not found" [19:10] Rarely worth bothering trying to get a small distro working on it, because it won't be useful for what even competent users need a computer for. [19:10] lewis_: because there's no such command? [19:10] c0dege3k: have you installed the restricted-extras yet? [19:10] so i have to download 64bit and install freshly ? [19:10] @FrozenFire[alt] Most of my systems *come* from the dumpster .... [19:10] sridhar_: yes [19:10] oh, that could be it. what's the command? [19:11] dgd__, All of mine except my new laptop did as well [19:11] I'm speaking of putting it *into* the dumpster [19:11] sridhar_: however you can save your home directory and reload it after you've installed all of your apps again in the 64bit system [19:11] Not having taken it out [19:11] Some people put it in, I take it out :) [19:11] frenzarectah, what apps are you having issues with be a little more specific [19:11] what is advantage running 64bit over 32bit on intel i5 based laptop ? [19:12] jrib i found a newbie questains and it said to use this command to get to the vidio [19:12] !codecs | c0dege3k [19:12] c0dege3k: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:12] lewis_, displayconfig-gtk isn't in use yet, that I know of [19:12] lewis_: ask your real question [19:12] It's a planned utility.

[19:13] frenzarectah, It's for lewis_ [19:13] so happily i can continue with 32bit installation right ? [19:13] sridhar_, In most cases, you won't need 64-bit. Application support isn't perfect yet. [19:13] ??? [19:13] vul31, Do you have a question? [19:13] I am trying to get the screen to go to full screen it will only do 800x760?? now [19:13] org [19:14] eat apple [19:14] sridhar_: I would, because of the pae support in 32bit and also because 64bit libraries can run along side them too [19:14] i don't understand what is the cause of this problem :( [19:14] Thanks a lot guys .. thanks for your help :) [19:14] lewis_, What is your graphics hardware? [19:14] yes [19:14] o hai, im just shamelesly spammin my blog about linux and undelete on ext3 :P http://PleasantHacking.com/2011/04/22/undelete-for-ext3-filesystem [19:14] quick question: just installed 10.10 server, then I started installing gnome gui. suddenly screen turns off, still hear computer working. is this normal?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:14] awww.. okay... [19:15] anyone is able to help me? [19:15] s0ap: running GNOME on a server isn't normal... [19:15] i'm not sure frenzarectah are you using wine to run these apps or did you install throu software center [19:15] trident microsystems cyberblade [19:15] i did this: sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core gnome-core [19:15] oops, no -core [19:15] s0ap, It is probably configuring X. You may need to SSH in from a separate system. [19:15] s0ap, Probably not a good idea to install Gnome on Ubuntu Server. [19:15] k let me see... [19:15] if i want to uninstall, how do i do that? [19:16] no i dont have wine [19:16] s0ap, apt-get remove the packages you installed [19:16] "remove" or rm? [19:16] s0ap: uninstall -> apt-get remove x-window-system [19:16] remove [19:16] only normal app [19:16] k [19:16] for ubuntu === nick is now known as Guest39358 [19:16] s0ap: Why didn't you just do ... sudo apt-get install gnome ... and then let the system decide what to pull in or replace? [19:16] some app as i say,gave that weird problem [19:16] im new at this [19:16] s0ap: then I'd do dpkg -l | grep x11 and remove those packages too - unless they take something important with them (like vnc-server for instance) [19:16] frenzarectah, Mind repeating your question? [19:17] frenzarectah: try reinstalling the offending applications [19:17] frenzarectah, You asked for help with your netbook, and we asked what the problem is ;) [19:17] I just got through ripping out GNOME and KDE from servers at work.... [19:17] wtf, i cant ssh in [19:17] s0ap, You'd need to install openssh-server [19:17] You can try an ACPI shutdown, but it might break something. [19:18] s0ap: at console? If at console, you can do Alt-F2 to get to second console [19:18] gah. this is ridiculous. i cant even see my display [19:18] dgd__, Good call [19:18] s0ap: Or if at the X console - do Shift-Alt-F1 to get to console 1 [19:18] s0ap: do Alt-F7 to get display back [19:18] You could also try killing X: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [19:18] no luck on Alt F7 [19:18] (if you wanted to do that) [19:19] or even ctrl-alt-delete and the system will start rebooting [19:19] FrozenFire[alt], frenzarectah is having issues with the buttons in gimp and other apps [19:19] well crap, if i restart will it boot to terminal again? or try to gnome? [19:19] how to disable firewall via terminal? [19:19] jiltdil: sudo service ufw stop [19:20] thanks [19:20] assuming you are using ufw [19:20] frenzarectah: did you make sure you had the latest video driver? which video do you have, ATI, NVIDIA or OTHER? have you made sure you got all the updates from Ubuntu? [19:20] in the updates there is nothing about graphic drivers [19:20] and the graphic drivers are installed correctly [19:21] s0ap: nothing wrong with terminal, in which case I'd do sudo apt-get install gnome .. and then .. sudo apt-get install gdm [19:21] then reboot and enjoy [19:21] frenzarectah, Can you please describe the issue is more detail? So far all I know is that you're having "issues" with buttons in certain applications. I don't know *what* the issue is. [19:21] frenzarectah: do you have all proprietary drivers activated? [19:21] any ideas why some of the multiple ip addresses listed with "ip addr show" are marked "secondary" ? [19:22] ruan: also how to port forward 21 from terminal [19:22] HyperShock: actually it's called "ubuntu-desktop" [19:22] sorry for my bad english,but i'm not england-native :P [19:22] thanks MaRk-I [19:22] ok,thats is [19:23] s0ap: as MaRk-I said, to get everything for gnome and even the starter stuff do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:23] some application at every click of the mouse create an earthquake effect [19:23] alright, i got back in, removed the gnome stuff, and installing openssh now [19:23] and the button run up and down [19:23] i can't click on every button because it run away from the pointer XD [19:24] success! [19:24] thanks guys [19:24] MaRk-I: I(humble)installed arista but are you sure it will convert .ogv to another format ? [19:24] frenzarectah, Try System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects->Normal [19:24] frenzarectah: sounds like you have some gl features enabled that your system is barfing on, goto system->preferences->appearance and then 'visual effects' tab and make sure you got it set on normal and not extras. [19:25] i have compizconfig installed [19:25] can it be the cause of problem? [19:25] frenzarectah, Yes. If you have certain visual effects enabled, it may cause problems. [19:25] As HyperShock and I said, reduce your visual effects setting [19:26] not really [19:26] how can i delete compizconfig? [19:26] it causes problems in 1104 even with fast graphics card [19:26] why [19:26] frenzarectah, You need not remove it entirely. [19:26] Just reduce its settings. [19:27] For regular users, removing Compiz should be a last resort. [19:27] frenzarectah: yeah just leave it there, it's used but its setting should be set to normal in your case, if you still want to remove use: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig [19:27] but i don't recommend it [19:27] frenzarectah: Use ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults [19:28] ok [19:28] tnx for the help [19:28] :) [19:28] frenzarectah: Or, select None then back to Normal or Extra in appearance properties>visual effects (these use a predefined set of effects) [19:28] Is there a way to make a program run without showing any of its output? [19:28] sorry again for the bad english,i hope that it is not a problem [19:28] internet went down for a bit- any replies to why i cant play dvds [19:28] !dvd | c0dege3k [19:28] c0dege3k: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[19:36] Mark -I It's a music directory, way to much data and I want the files to be on the local drive. [19:37] HyperShock : Done that problem is it's cumbersome and I end up overwriting things I don't mean too. I want them to sync like you would an iPod or something like that [19:37] vinceN: also read all said files only from that shared directory [19:37] vinceN: I recommend rsync [19:38] where do I find an event viewer? My Ubuntu blew it's load, and I want to check the logs. [19:38] vinceN: Try something like Unison or rsync? [19:38] vinceN: follow dgd__ 's advice now. :) [19:38] vinceN: then like dgd__ recommends [19:38] vinceN: or use DropBox if you prefer using the cloud automatically [19:38] i dont know what a NIC is to tell truth FrozenFire [19:38] HOW TO INSTALL .BIN on ubuntu 10.10 [19:38] vinceN: unison?

[19:43] kingofswords, I had wireless internet for several months recently. I can tell you that no matter how similar the positioning looks, it could definitely be wrong. [19:44] kingofswords, The NIC is fine, and Ubuntu is fine. It's the modem, definitely. [19:44] i dont what commands [19:44] yeh but in same position its faster with windows [19:44] are use? [19:44] kingofswords, Have you tried Windows alongside Ubuntu? [19:44] the phone on its way out but that shouldnt make different sppeds [19:45] erUSUL getting a witbier, going to need one to get through these... ;-) [19:45] nah just on same laptop with dual boot [19:45] kingofswords, Don't know what to tell you, then. Are you running the speedtest to the same local server, on the same site? [19:45] but i had this same problem with 9.1 and mint 9 ..thought it was ivpc6 problem [19:45] yeh [19:45] codex84: man wipe [19:45] sorry FrozenFire[alt] yes [19:46] kingofswords, Since you're using a wired NIC, instead of having a built-in 3G modem, it is almost certainly not an OS issue. [19:46] yeh its a tricky one...maybe itll resolve itself...just thought i try my luck in here [19:47] off topic: how do i say someones nick without having to type it out?

[19:49] it must of been something to do with the install, i only did a few hrs a go [19:49] is your processor a celeron, sempron or turion? [19:50] or even an atom?

[19:53] pryorda, On second thought, there is a way [19:53] In /etc/pam.d/login, comment "session optional pam_lastlog.so" [19:54] pryorda, Or, if pam.d isn't there, in /etc/login.defs, comment "LASTLOG_ENAB" [19:54] FrozenFire[alt]: thanks [19:55] pryorda, don't edit /etc/pam.d/* without having a root shell already open somewhere - in case you lock yourself out by mistake [19:55] picasso, can you upgrade gem by using gem itself?

[19:56] jamescv: you can run an older kernel by holding shift at boot and choosing an older kernel(if you havent removed them) [19:56] brewster, lshw -class multimedia [19:57] FrozenFire[alt]: here soemthing you should know from login [19:57] # Prints the last login info upon succesful login [19:57] # (Replaces the `LASTLOG_ENAB' option from login.defs) [19:57] so you need to commend out that [19:57] comment out that like you said [19:58] ok ty [19:58] ok, im getting audio now, but still cant see the video of the dvd. more help? i installed the mediabuntu dvdrcss thingy [19:58] FrozenFire[alt]: neither of those work lol [19:58] jamescv: iirc no ubuntu version used 2.6.18 ... is an ancient kernel version [19:58] pryorda, You may need to restart the system for the configuration to take effect [19:58] im thinking that [19:58] im gonna try restarting ssh [19:58] and see what that does [19:59] jamescv: oh you mean that... why would you want such an old kernel === pierre__ is now known as lordbanana25 [20:01] how do i completely remove Virtualbox from my machine? [20:02] i installed it using a .run script that came on a software cd from some magazine [20:02] hey guys am facing a strange problem [20:02] Oday: maybe that run script has --uninstall option or something. [20:02] I am running my preinstalled ubuntu 10.10 but cant do a fresh installation with my new sandy bridge configuration [20:02] where can i find where i installed it, erUSUL ? [20:03] anyone with the same problem ? [20:03] i mean..it was just a wizard and i didnt select where exactly (even if i had the choice i wouldn't know where) [20:03] I cant run ubuntu in live mode or install it from USB / DVD [20:03] /usr/local? [20:03] rohan, By "can't", do you mean that a particular issue occurs? [20:03] hi sorry got d/c [20:03] yes says live system missing or something dont remember exact code FrozenFire[alt] [20:03] Oday: probably but we can not be sure. get the script from the cd and run it with "--help" option [20:04] ok [20:04] everytimei start ubuntu i have to start nm-applet manuelly, even though its in the startup apps [20:04] rohan, What's your system model? [20:05] i upgraded to i5 2500k+P67A UD3R [20:05] didnt find any kind of problems on google :/ [20:05] rohan: changes on hardwarwe rarelly ( never ) needs a reinstall in linux/ubuntu [20:06] join #basket-devel [20:06] My machine is not visible on the network. All web services work on localhost, but not from other PCs on the local network. SSH similarly does not find the host. I'm not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting... [20:06] any advice? [20:06] rohan, I hate to ask silly questions, but are you sure that the DVD you're using is functional, and that you're selecting it as the boot device on POST? [20:06] erUSUL, actually i have few Cyberroam client scripts which are not getting dumped so thought of a fresh install [20:06] it was in /opt/VirtualBox, erUSUL , and there was an uninstall.sh and it removed it , thanks [20:06] blz, check firewall. [20:06] blz, iptables -L -v -n [20:06] dgd__: what am I lookig for there? [20:06] Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website. use those in the future [20:07] Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website and a repositorie. use those in the future [20:07] blz, if you know what you are doing - and are sure dropping the firewall is alright - do this: service iptables stop [20:07] FrozenFire[alt], I have used that DVD just 2 days back on a laptop .. and to remove any such doubts I have even tried to do a boot from USB after downloading fresh ISo [20:07] i will just get it from Software Center, erUSUL [20:07] im running 11.4 and i suppose packages are up-to-date? [20:07] dgd__: should be ok. this is local network only stuff... [20:07] blz, if there are a lot of lines, then the firewall may be blocking you - depending on rules. If there are three lines with the word ACCEPT - then the firewall is wide open and ok. [20:07] because the one i got from the CD gave an incompatibility error [20:08] dgd__: not many lines. Also, i get a message " iptables: unrecognized service" [20:08] let me pastebin [20:10] dgd__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597986/ [20:11] Is there a way to backup deluge configuration? [20:12] blz, pastebin is so cool :) [20:12] blz, firewall is wide open. Not the cause. [20:12] dgd__: thought so. I wonder if it's my router... [20:12] weird as that would be... [20:12] anyone know how to get the update-motd.d scripts back [20:14] lol [20:14] blz, use ping to check [20:15] Ping localhost? [20:15] blz, ping localhost (by IP - not 127.0.0.1) [20:15] blz, ping router [20:15] dgd__ and how would I figure out the localhost's IP? [20:15] if I want blog.domain.com to open domain.com/blog how do I go about this? [20:15] blz, are you using DHCP? Do you know what that means? [20:15] yes, and yes [20:16] anonissimus, use Apache's Rewrite capability and rewrite / to /blog [20:16] anonissimus, the details are more than I can explain here [20:16] dgd__: a pointer like that is what I was hoping for [20:16] thanks [20:16] blz, did you check routes under netstat -rn? [20:16] anonissimus: http://content.websitegear.com/article/subdomain_setup.htm [20:17] Scroll down to "Apache Web Server" [20:17] anonissimus, there is at least one website dedicated to Apache Rewrites [20:17] It isn't a rewrite. you don't want all / to go to /blog. Otherwise "domain.com" would go to "domain.com/blog". He wants a virtualhost [20:18] Raikia, excellent point! [20:18] so if I edit the httpd conf with those parameters i will present the /blog folder for the subdomain? [20:18] Thanks :-) [20:18] ofcourse after adding blog.domain.com to dns entries [20:19] anonissimus: Are you referring to the link i posted? Then yes [20:19] how do I set up network interface descriptions in ubuntu server? [20:19] Raikia: yes [20:19] like iface eth3 description "foo" or something like that [20:19] Then yes [20:19] and thanks [20:19] runelind: in /etc/network/interfaces [20:19] I'm not finding an option in the /etc/network/interfaces file [20:19] erUSUL: what's the syntax? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [20:19] runelind: to do what exactly ? [20:19] Just make sure "DocumentRoot" is pointed to the "blog" folder (it must be an exact link, like "/var/www/blog" [20:20] Ooooo. Now m00se has eyes :) [20:20] rohan, Regarding deluge, there's a folder in your ~ with all of the configuration files, I believe. [20:20] ohk checking :) [20:20] erUSUL: I will have 12 network interfaces, so I want to be able to see a description of them in ifconfig [20:20] FrozenFire[alt], are you refering to ~/.config ? [20:21] dgd__, It might be in there. That's a *relatively* recent development. [20:21] runelind: ooh you want descriptive names for your interfaces ... maybe take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ... [20:21] Many applications still toss everything in ~ [20:21] erUSUL: yeah that was my other thought, let me poke around there. [20:21] FrozenFire[alt], right you are.

[20:23] kingofswords, The modem thing? [20:24] i dont get wine1.3 in my synaptic..is it best to dl from winehq? [20:24] Wireless stuff is very prone to ghosts blocking the signal :P [20:24] FrozenFire[alt], yeh [20:24] kingofswords, There's a wine PPA, iirc. [20:24] Its a BCM4311 [20:24] yeh it was more of a synaptic question really [20:25] im just wondering if im getting all the lastest releases and choices [20:25] brianl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [20:25] Raikia: in the document root field pointing to a symbolic link is ok right /var/www/domainroot?

[20:26] anonissimus: It might be....You might have to enable FollowSymLinks [20:26] i have to start my nm-applet in the terminal everytime i boot even though its set in the startup mgr, is there a way to sort that out [20:26] anonissimus: http://www.maxi-pedia.com/FollowSymLinks [20:27] !broadcom | brianl [20:27] brianl: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [20:27] qin, thx [20:27] hi. how can I install ubuntu theme (this dark with orange) in xubuntu?

[20:29] qin, no, the actual ip. 192.168.0.13 [20:30] qin, dgd__, in fact SSH works when I use this IP, but not when I specify the hostname. === DiscordianUK is now known as MajorOops [20:31] MaRk-I: how does vlc record desktop [20:31] Hello... I just did a sudo apt-get upgrade for the first time in awhile... in the process I got TONS of errors like "/sbin/apparmor_parser: Unable to replace "/usr/sbin/traceroute". Profile version not supported by Apparmor module" ... How terrified should I be [20:31] Like should I be worried I just broke my system === MajorOops is now known as DiscordianUK [20:31] and can apt-get upgrade redo the stuff that didn't work [20:32] I'm not really sure what apparmor is and I don't remember installing it, I guess it's a thing that comes with ubuntu?

[20:32] alabd: http://thejeshgn.com/2008/06/24/how-to-capture-the-screen-using-vlc-for-screencasting/ [20:32] I wouldn't worry about it. [20:33] alabd: http://pctonic.net/use-vlc-as-a-screen-recording-tool/ [20:34] frozenfire: ok. so that was just a warning, it doesn't mean "whoops didn't really upgrade mysqld, lol"? === rafal is now known as magoo28_pl [20:34] mcc, Unless you notice an issue, it's probably fine. [20:34] anybody have an idea as to why my installation's local network IP works but the hostname won't resolve? is this even an ubuntu issue? [20:34] ok. anyone know why i can get audio but no video in vlc media player?

[20:36] who can i enter in a ubuntu help channel in here ? [20:36] in spanish [20:36] blz: so how do you expect that the hostnames to be resolved? you can use avahi/zeroconf automatic hostname resolution. hostname is hostname.local [20:36] ok heres a tricky one...burnt a dvd in ubuntu on this laptop but isnt reconised by windows or ubuntu but works perfectly in a different laptop [20:36] RonyBirra: /join #ubuntu-es [20:36] blz: so try « ping hostname.local » [20:36] RonyBirra, #ubuntu-es [20:36] ty [20:36] !es | RonyBirra [20:36] RonyBirra: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:37] do dvd drives need drivers? [20:37] kingofswords: no [20:37] MaRk-I: no but it was better if voice can be recorded with it [20:37] kingofswords, The driver is usually in the kernel already [20:37] erUSUL: ping hostname.local yields "ping: unkonwn hostname.local" [20:37] blz: ok, nothing came up after i started the video, but here's the messages that came up: http://pastebin.com/Spfcwc3K [20:37] do you have any idea why this happens? [20:37] alabd: if you read it says the bug has been fixed, doesnt work? [20:38] c0dege3k: ask the channel in general. I don't know much about vlc [20:38] How to "mount" remote device (speakers in my case)? Web browser > to remote sound. [20:38] blz: do it with an actual hostname instead of the string "hostname" i guess your machines have another names [20:38] MaRk-I: vlc ? [20:38] its a slidey in dvd drive without tray [20:38] what's name of default ubuntu theme? (this black) [20:38] qin: speakers are not "mounted" afaics [20:38] erUSUL: oh... derp [20:38] alabd: ahh ehhmm it should... try this then http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/try-kazam-new-screencasting-application.html [20:38] kingofswords, What kind of data did you write to the DVD? [20:39] erUSUL: ok that works [20:39] If it's a copied DVD movie, you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get deCSS [20:39] blz: no problem [20:39] As well as the necessary proprietary codecs [20:39] erUSUL: i'm getting normal looking ping [20:39] FrozenFire[alt], a iso [20:39] erUSUL: I wait for hint, let me put it this way: how to capture local stream and send to remote machine. [20:40] but its a encrpted game [20:40] kingedgar, Yeah, that probably will not work. [20:40] Err, kingofswords [20:40] kingofswords: do you mean some sort of DRM? that usually isn't supported under linux [20:40] no just a game [20:40] kingofswords: right, but you said it was encrypted [20:41] kingofswords, DVD games often include wacky DRM code that makes it difficult to copy [20:41] sorry i meant zipped [20:41] kingofswords: i missed the original question. what's going on? [20:41] ah ok === debd is now known as damno [20:41] i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? [20:41] kingofswords: if indeed the game is drm-ed, it probably won't work [20:41] but its not a linux or windows thing as it works on a different pc [20:41] i presume it the dvd drive [20:41] kingofswords, Often, for Windows, you need something like Daemon Tools to mount the image directly. [20:41] Writing it to a DVD may not work. [20:42] Sorry about all the quits/joins :\ [20:42] erUSUL: so the local machine's hostname works when I ping it... what's the next step? [20:42] but it works in a different laptop [20:42] thought it might be a bios thing [20:42] blz: it already works. you got your name resolution [20:42] kingofswords, Again, wacky DRM code. It's probably hit-or-miss [20:42] ah ok [20:42] erUSUL: so now it should resolve? [20:42] blz: you have to append .local to the machines hostnames [20:42] hi [20:42] blz: yes [20:43] erUSUL: ok, but it doesn't... [20:43] blz: what program is failing ? [20:43] erUSUL: to be clear, i ran the ping hostname.local on the local machine having the problem [20:43] i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? [20:43] blz: ping works so it has to be a specific to that program problem [20:43] putty, under windows [20:44] blz: maybe in windows you have to enable zeroconf in some place ? ask in ##windows ? [20:44] blz: sudo apt-get install nast && sudo nast -i eth0 -m (this assume that you using cable - "-i wlan0" - for wifi, and will show you your lan) [20:44] Does anyone know a good app for debugging PDF? I generated the PDF doc with my ImageMagick, and it shows in any PDF reader other that Adobe Reader. Any clues? [20:45] erUSUL: hmm maybe so... i'll check under a remote ubuntu system... [20:45] i dled ia32-libs so i could install 32bit googleearth on my 64bit ubuntu but when i try to install GE it just says wrong archetecture [20:45] kingofswords: theres a repo withj google earth in it. or some tool to set it up. [20:45] !google-earth [20:45] !googleearth [20:45] Google Earth is available as the package "googleearth-package" in !Multiverse. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [20:45] whats repo? [20:45] sudo apt-get install googleearth-package should install it.. [20:46] madjoe, PDF is a notoriously crappy format for that sort of thing. [20:46] if i get it from synaptic ill just get the 64 bit? [20:46] i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? [20:46] I'd say that you just have to fiddle until it works. [20:46] erUSUL, qin: the strange thing is that web interfaces from this computer are not resolving with the hostname (when i try to connect from another computer) AND ssh doesn't work either [20:46] kingofswords: no idea. no idea why it would matter if its 64 or 32bit.. [20:46] so it's not program-specific... [20:46] kingofswords: thats how i normally install it on my systems. [20:46] Dr_Willis, i tried 64bit ver b4 and had major problems...i think it doesnt work [20:46] kingofswords: don't use synaptic [20:47] kingofsword: use the command line or the software center [20:47] kingofswords: tried it befor when? yesterday? last month? [20:47] blz for eveything or just g'earth? [20:47] I dont recall ever having issues with 64bit google earth. [20:47] a week ago [20:47] oh [20:47] kingofswords: for everything [20:47] qin, erUSUL: ok the hostname doesn't resolve from a remote ubuntu machine either [20:48] oh..what wrong with synaptics? [20:48] kingofswords: needlessly confusing. 99% of the time, people end up with the wrong thing [20:48] kingofswords: aptitude is a good way to do it too, esp for package search [20:48] i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? [20:48] Dr_Willis, but surely if i have the ia32libs it should work [20:49] btw, qin, nast seems to show everything is ok... [20:49] kingofswords: no idea. ive never had issues with it not working [20:49] damno, Remove the gwibber package and log out then in. [20:49] That'll solve it. [20:49] FrozenFire[alt]: well, that's the requirement... do u have an idea how to debug it? [20:50] morning [20:50] madjoe, Are you using something like PHP to do this, or are you invoking ImageMagick directly? [20:50] damno: I think Ubuntu uses gwibber to connect if you setup your ubuntu to connect to facebook/twitter... I could be wrong [20:50] Via bash, that is. [20:50] how can I check details of a particular window, like window class, role, etc? [20:51] Gwibber is used for social media integration in Ubuntu. Empathy is the chat client. [20:51] MaRk-I: kazam works but output format is .mkv , but I(humble) need a output file that can be played in windows easily [20:51] FrozenFire[alt]: yeah, I'M [20:51] is there a dvd burning software for linux?

[21:07] I am using trident microsystems cyberblade grafics [21:07] Could someone help me with Grub2 and Windows? I had to manually enter a Win7 entry in grub2 because it could not detect the win7 partition. I also had to install easyBCD bootloader in windows. Now I am able to choose my OS at boot but for some reason grub2 is no longer remembering which OS it booted last and I'm unable to make the "previously booted entry" become the default boot. Thank you very much. [21:08] cardamon, There are loose conventions that some authors follow, which things go where. But when you start digging, you see that there's a lot of variation.

[22:35] yes sir [22:35] hahaha [22:35] Oday: Show last command, please.

[22:39] teddyb, are you sure? some web host? [22:39] well it's done now [22:39] think forward :) [22:39] teddyb, if you want ftp as a filesystem you will need to use a FUSE module [22:40] AviMarcus Yeah im sure, escott ill have a look at it thanks [22:40] is there program i need installed for when screen closes and wake up [22:41] coz_: WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported!

[22:45] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. [22:46] and installed the updates. [22:46] Would it be that I need to upgrade or... [22:46] Inkblue10`, and which video card do you have there? [22:46] Inkblue10`, if you are not sure in terminal type lspci | grep -i vga [22:46] No idea, though I do see on my side panel it says Intel HD Graphics [22:46] hi [22:46] I can't seem to play dvd's, at first I just figured I didn't have the library's installed so I installed the libdvdread and libdvdcss lib's and it didn't work, so then I used apt and installed the rest of the dvd reading librarys and now when I open the dvd with totem I get, cannot read from souce [22:46] Inkblue10`, you can paste the output of that right here [22:47] docmur, welcome to the united states [22:47] coz_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) === teddyb_ is now known as teddyb [22:47] i'm trying build server would ubuntu work as a printserver [22:47] thanks escott ill have a look [22:47] Inkblue10`, ok I believe that should work but hold on let me check [22:47] docmur, you need to run a script included in the libdvdcss install [22:47] docmur, trying to find the path [22:48] coz_: Would it matter if I installed the i386 or 64bit? [22:48] Inkblue10`, doubtful... is this a clean install of ubuntu or an upgrade? [22:48] i'm using 64-bit [22:48] coz_: Clean install. [22:48] mm [22:49] thewise: Linux wildly adopted Cups for printing, good point to start research. [22:49] Hello everyone , Can anyone please tell me how to enter the sudo password automatically when my bash file excuted without the need to disable the sudo passwords for that certain user? [22:49] Inkblue10`, and when you go to System/Preferences/Appearance is there a "Visual Effects" tab...yes? [22:49] hmm, +s as root maybe [22:49] I tried something like write PASSWORD but it did not work .. [22:49] docmur, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs (just running the install-css.sh) [22:50] Inkblue10`: 64-bit supprts 4GB of RAM and more, but some packages lach 64-bit versions and Flash 64-bit is an experimental stuff (or something like that). [22:50] how to unzip tar with terminal? [22:50] tar - something [22:50] okay thanks [22:50] coz_: Yes. [22:51] hahaha i forgot my mirc was on :)))))))))))) [22:51] Inkblue10`, and which of the options under that is ticked? [22:51] any suggestions ? anybody ? [22:51] HHabib, you could try setting the sticky bit on your script, and changing the scripts ownership to root. Just be aware of the security consequences of that. [22:51] coz_: Normal. [22:51] alright escott ... [22:51] Inkblue10`, ok now open ccsm or compizconfig-settings-manager [22:53] Inkblue10`: 64-bit versions of apps sometimes might be significantly faster. But because of the Flash, the 32-bit is the recommended version. Also, there are 32-bit kernels with PAE, to overcome the memory adressing limitations of 32-bit. Though, there might still be a 3GB+ limit of memory for a single process, but I'm not sure about it. [22:53] Phong_: wiki! tar [22:53] that worked :-) [22:53] Strange [22:54] I've actually never ran that before [22:54] ever and it's always worked [22:54] but meh lol works now [22:54] escott how to do that? [22:54] Phong_: !wiki tar [22:55] Inkblue10`, i have to break here,,, be back in a bit [22:55] coz_: Wouldn't it be better to use the now empty compiz channel? [22:55] here it says that HiveDB still exists [22:55] i [22:55] HHabib, sudo chown root:root file.sh; sudo chmod +s file.sh; this is almost certainly a bad idea [22:56] well if it is not the only idea ..then I really need to push my sudo password from my bash file ...that's the only thing .

[22:58] HHabib, if you want it started every boot add it to you runlevel [22:59] how do I do that? [22:59] Phong_: rm -r /folder/name (carefull) [22:59] Oh. is there raid software? I have a computer with old-ish hard drives, I'm wondering if I can add some data security to that [23:00] anyone here with a thinkpad sl300 ? I was wondering about the intel corporation mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller. I dont see any driver info or controlpanel for that.

[23:03] Galvatron: hmm. so thats a good thing ? Its just that I have been used to being able to tweak some setting, and this new thinkpad i have, well.. It works, but for gaming I dont seem to have any options :( [23:03] Aspire One built-in mic not detected; any thoughts?

[23:23] Wait explain [23:23] I put in root outta frustration [23:24] Some1 invite me to apache Plz [23:24] bc81, a) the server runs on the system with the monitor no monitor=headless=no X server [23:24] escott, could you be more specific? [23:24] bc81, b) modern Xorg server is pretty good at autoconfig so you should try xrandr utility [23:25] Scherbak [23:25] escott, xrandr is not playing nice. here's my original question: i need some help getting my server (headless xubuntu 10.10, accessed via VNC) to change display modes. it seems to be "stuck" in 1024x768 resolution. for example, if i do "xrandr -s 800x600" it says: Size 800x600 not found in available modes. how can i change the display to something like 1280x1024, or better yet, 1366x768? [23:25] hoss, I've had a lot of success with the hda_analyzer.py script from alsa. Its a bit confusing to use at first, but for many new laptops the developers don't have access to the hardware and can't get the settings correct [23:26] Bc81 wats ute question I might be able to help [23:26] slakar: OK, have a look at source of this site (sent in private message, respect for channel policy, its users, and also ops). [23:27] hello... as an ubuntu rookie i installed a .gz instead of a .deb package. how do i uninstall it ? [23:27] bc81, im not familiar with vnc and how it works, but I would think that you need to be changing stuff on the client side not the server (ie in the vnc client) [23:27] Wait way am I lookin at [23:27] slakar: need to make the screen bigger (e.g. 1280x1024) but there's no monitor so it won't let me [23:27] So u want to add BBC [23:27] Vnc [23:28] Or does it have alredy [23:28] Hey, what's the best way of adding something to my PATH? [23:28] donkeyinspace, do you mean you did make; make install? if so is there a make uninstall? [23:28] coz_, reply from developper: I'm sorry, but I don't have gnome. [23:28] I just had a look at how things are working with gnome and it doesn't look so [23:28] bright. You should ask the ubuntu folk if something like that is even possible [23:29] Secondly it seems that there would be some changes to the workflow needed [23:29] since nautilius doesn't seem to support actions in submenus. And since I'm not [23:29] using gnome this is a little bit complicated. [23:29] nmaxchat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:29] trickysse: either export or edit .bashrc [23:29] escott: i'm using Vinagre as the client but there's no option for resolution. i'm pretty sure it's server side issue because when i boot the server with the monitor plugged in, the display looks good (1366x768 res) [23:29] trickysse, .bashrc [23:29] FloodBot3, ooops [23:29] slakar: i don't understad, soryy [23:29] escott, so I got the script and it is totally confusing. [23:29] slakar: what is BBC? [23:29] escott, what am I looking for in the GUI? [23:30] hoss, i can give you a general outline of how it works let me pull it up (fyi it needs to be run as root) [23:30] escott: cheers [23:30] escott: so i need a way to trick the server into believing there is a monitor hooked up when it boots, or else it goes to 1024x768 mode [23:31] bc81, I'm afraid I don't know. I think you can generate an xorg.conf and put it in the init directory. try googling? [23:31] #ebooks [23:32] hoss, so all these notes are various registers in the hardware. You want to make sure that the AUD_IN is matching with the correct input PIN [23:32] escott: i did lots of google, only problem is all the info i found is outdated as there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:32] Bc81 on itouch corrects everyting i say [23:32] slakar: ok, i see ;-) [23:32] escott, what is an input PIN? [23:33] hoss, on my AUD_IN I have selector 0x17 and if I go to pin 0x17 AUD_SEL I have pin complex 0x1a and if I go to 0x1a I see under "PIN Caps" that it is my input PIN [23:33] hi. I'm trying to get ubuntu to operate off of a usb stick. installing a few things seems to be a problem. I keep getting complaints about initramfs-tools and fglrx and fglrx-amdcccle. I tried getting my ATI card to work and it failed horribly. any suggestions? [23:34] bc81, have you tried one of the Xorg channels, they might know how to do this [23:34] does anybody know how can I introduce myself to linux programming??? I picked that book BEGINNING LINUX PROGRAMMING by Neil Matthew and Richard Stones but this is nowhere near to the beginning. In their damn description they say they assume some knowledge of C. Is that really a beginners point? I learned some BASH and PERL but what can I do next??? Any recommendations? [23:34] hmm..ok [23:35] hoss, so basically you have look through the "PIN"s until you find one that looks like it might be your mic [23:35] !abs | naryfa [23:35] naryfa: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [23:35] escott, and then? [23:35] i want to be able to stream my movie library...what is the best software for that? and I'm using ubuntu server so I'm unfamiliar with how to install without using apt-get or similar [23:35] hoss, and then play make sure your AUD_IN and AUD_SEL are changed to point to that thing [23:35] naryfa: Start from bash, then go for lower stuff. [23:36] hoss, and then test to see if you are getting sound [23:36] shcherbak: What is considered lower stuff in your understanding? [23:37] escott, thanks... hopefull I dont break anything lol.. I have a stereo jack input for a mic and a build in mic so there are actually two inputs to choose from. [23:37] naryfa: assembler [23:38] shcherbak: ok, I'll look, thanks [23:38] hoss, the stereo jack will advertise a mic with a press detect. the built in mic will just say mic [23:38] naryfa: other interesting are perl, python, llua.

[23:47] hoss, in the PIN Caps there will be capabilities that can help identify what the PIN is, when you find something you think might be your mic hook it up with the AUD_SEL and test if your mic is getting sound [23:47] no [23:47] I have no internet [23:47] I have the movie in /var/www/..../....

[23:53] 2nd time [23:53] no "next" [23:53] lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come fr [23:53] escott, I tried changing the Active Connection on my AUD_IN Mic device to Node [0x12] PIN as this was the only PIN with the name Input. I also installde gnome-alsa-mixer about an hour ago and this has completely greyed out the input option in Sound Preferences... maybe I should uninstall it? [23:54] lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come from the kernel modules, or the manufacturers then they must be built from source code [23:54] Solar_Energy: What version of ubuntu are you trying to install? [23:54] tjiggi_fo: There is always jockey [23:54] I think 10.4 [23:54] it says [23:55] "Failed to initiate AP scan" [23:55] soreau: trying to get trident drivers for my graphics [23:55] Solar_Energy: What is telling you that? [23:55] lewis_: Ah, hm [23:55] hey, compiz hangs from time to time freezing up screen for seconds. is there an easy way to temporarily disable/enable compiz [23:55] soreau, oh yes - well [23:55] the installation bar [23:55] is it compiz --replace ? [23:55] "ready, when you are" [23:55] lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? [23:56] saml: Sure, metacity --replace to disable it and compiz --replace to enable it [23:57] soreau, thanks. do you background it? compiz --replace & [23:57] hoss, I doubt gnome-alsa-mixer is the problem, but you can also try the alsamixer command line tool. 0x12 may not be the right PIN. [23:57] Soreau: yes i can only get 800x600 resulation [23:57] saml: If you arent running it from Alt+F2 run dialog, append & disown [23:57] lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? [23:57] soreau, thanks [23:58] escott, cool.. I will mess around with it, thanks. [23:58] soreau: forgive me i am new do i past this in termanel?? [23:58] lewis_: Yes
