[00:00] usr13: just wondering how long you've been using ubuntu and linux, in general [00:00] it's my data mount btw, where the home folders are in, too [00:00] Gnea: Sorry, the *third* line 15, not second. Jeez. x.x [00:00] actionparsnip: i don't have any cds [00:00] Keshl: looking.. [00:00] QaDeS: And which partition is full? [00:00] otako: use a usb storage [00:00] well, i have one but i'm using it for opensuse [00:00] and my usb is only 512mb [00:00] Gnea: Well, how long have you been using it? [00:00] usr13, the one i keep all the work data and home folders in. no system stuff at all [00:01] usr13: no, I asked you first. [00:01] usr13: but we should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:01] Gnea: sure... [00:01] Gnea: The first time we ran it, it got stuck with 20 seconds remaining, then when we restarted it it worked fine. I'm trying to find the second time we ran it, that should have what you want.. [00:01] how do i dist-upgrade to 11.04 beta [00:01] from 10.10 [00:01] otako: could use minimal, its only 22Mb [00:01] Keshl: which drive are you installing it to? [00:01] QaDeS: du -s [00:02] orly? [00:02] does that work for opensuse as well? [00:02] QaDeS: You should show us. [00:02] Gnea: Seems to be around the first 700 line, and I'm installing to C, allocating 30 gigs. [00:02] Keshl: sounds fair [00:02] how do i dist-upgrade to 11.04 beta from 10.10 [00:03] QaDeS: fdsik -l du -s [00:03] ah wait, i get permission denieds [00:03] otako: only [00:03] en1gma press alt+f4 and type update-manager -d [00:03] lala [00:03] en1gma: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [00:03] which mean disk usage analyzer is just ignoring the stuff i don't have access to. touche [00:03] Gnea: Nope, not 700, I saw "MD5 okay" or something similar and stopped there to tell you, but that's not what I remember it saying.. === tristan_ is now known as Guest65066 [00:04] for a linux partition, what do i use? ext2? [00:04] ext4 [00:04] thnx [00:05] thanks actionparsnip [00:05] tuffpoo you still around [00:06] umm ok, i get the wrong result even if i launch baobab (wtf?) as root [00:06] i thought i needed to add natty repos or something to souces.lst [00:06] can df be wrong? [00:07] let's see what du -s says [00:07] Ubuntu allows me to make encrypted partitions on my drive... are those considered primary partitions? === jrib is now known as Guest97355 [00:08] what does grub2 wants to tell me when it says "error: out of partition"? [00:09] running ubuntu on my laptop makes the HDD really really hot [00:09] THinkpad T61 [00:09] a [00:10] Sweep audio editor fails, unable to open /dev/dsp. Installed oss-compat to no effect. Opening with pasdp gets playback with a load of static. [00:11] Lantech, have you set the spindown time [00:11] Any suggestions? Cause Sweep fulfilled fantasy audio features I wanted, and now doesn't work. [00:13] escott, what is that? [00:13] and why should I have to? [00:13] if the drive isn't in use it can spin down [00:13] escott, under power options I did set that on [00:14] hdparm i think [00:14] Under windows 7, no heat issues. boot to Ubuntu and it burns my palm [00:14] ronsonol, if your audio editor uses /dev/dsp perhaps it's time to find a more modern audio editor, or time warp back to 1995 ;) Good luck. [00:14] my machine is hanging like crazy since i started du -s [00:14] escott, I'll look into it [00:14] ZykoticK9. I don't know of another editor that does some of the stuff Sweep does. :( [00:14] even the cursor is hanging o.O what can i do about that? [00:14] Lantech: Make sure you didn't set it too low or high. Spinning up and down constantly can generate more heat in some systems. [00:16] How is Ubuntu's support for GUID partition tables? :) [00:16] ronsonol, when the most recent version came out in 2008 i repeat, "time to find a more modern editor" sorry man I don't have any real suggestions - hope you find a solution. [00:16] MK``, its fine [00:16] lol I'm using GPT on one of my disks and my machine doesn't even natively support it. [00:16] ok, du -s says 65129084. how many gig is that? ^^ [00:16] ok [00:16] QaDeS: try du -sh [00:17] du -sh [00:17] (I did it for novelty, I guess.) [00:17] ZykoticK9. Oh, okay, that's the second great audio ap that went to bitrot. [00:17] QaDeS: the -h switch for du and df turns it into human readable formats. [00:17] yeah right, to kill my box for anothe 10 minues :D [00:17] QaDeS: The h switch gives you megs instead of kilobytes [00:18] Today I hosed a couple partitions by using ecryptfs-setup-swap and later moving partitions. :( [00:18] i know [00:18] but i can just divide by 1024, no? ;) [00:18] how can I create folders etc without using sudo so I am the owner and not root? [00:19] Anyone know if /etc/crypttab supports LABEL or UUID tags instead of /dev/ locations? [00:19] sec_goat, mkdir [00:19] sec_goat, dont use sudo :) just mkdir [00:19] sec_goat: assuming you have write access, sudo mkdir [00:19] ok, that's ~62 gig. which is funny, because df telly me 55 gig used, and the disk usage analyzer goes for 33 gig o.O [00:19] Squall5668: I get a permission denied [00:19] sec_goat: sorry, without sudo, you can always chown after running it [00:20] sooo...educated guess anyone? ;) [00:20] sec_goat, you must not have modify permission on the parent directory [00:20] actionparsnip: thats what I had to do so i could copy my files over [00:20] escott: How do I give those tomyself? [00:20] sec_goat then you dont have permission to parent folder as escott said [00:20] Hi guys, I looking for a little help to put my efforts in the correct way, anybody available to chat with me? [00:20] sec_goat, depends on if you are in the group either chmod g+m or chmod o+m . [00:21] QaDeS: Do you have an encrypted dir? [00:21] sec: mkdir foo; chown me:users foo [00:21] both with sudo [00:21] sec_goat, before that, make sure your user REALLY needs permissions in that folder ;) [00:21] djr013, none that i'd know of [00:21] sec_goat, its probably better to do it QaDes way [00:21] ah, nvm [00:22] Squall5668: I'm realy the only users. and I have been doing it Qades way once i figured that out [00:22] thanks guys! [00:22] i guess someone just chown'd /etc/ [00:23] again? [00:23] Squall5668: Hah no just /smb [00:23] djr013, i was having hangs for a couple of days, but couldn't find a process causing them. so actually, i'm expecting a rootkit or virus of some kind :( [00:23] QaDeS: Here are some investigative techniques you can use: du -sk * | sort -n will give you a list of files sorted by size. ls -lS |grep ^d [00:24] Hi guys, I installed ubuntu 10 after windows 7, I choose work togheter (dualboot recommended option wizard) and ubuntu doesnt boot, I mean Grub menu doesnt appear, anybody have ideas how fix it? [00:25] windows 7 start normally [00:25] werever, you installed ubuntu after windows yes? [00:25] werever: if you hold shift does it show ok? [00:25] werever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:25] werever: Sounds like GRUB didn't install. [00:25] i didnt try shift :$ [00:25] If GRUB detects multiple OS's, it'll show the menu by default. [00:25] Keshl: hrm, it's really difficult to pinpoint.... have you considered locating a previous version of wubi? [00:26] es its the normal behaivor I know [00:26] werever: You installed 10.04 or 10.10? [00:26] 10.10 [00:26] thanks, usr13! [00:27] Gnea: Wubi doesn't appear to be the entire problem. It's downloading from a "daily build" server, so it's going to get a bad version (Obviously). Is there any way to get an old version of Kubuntu? Even the regular download seems to be 10.10.2, now.. [00:27] Yeah, my guess is you'll have to get grub to install somehow. [00:27] njknmmk/mkbk.mmmmmmmmmm,nmk m, , m ,m m m n nm [00:27] Hello sec_goat's cat! [00:27] Gnea: Either I need to find an older version of Kubuntu, or someone needs to fix Wubi xwx [00:27] ,mbvdccjhhkhKSKsxxuhuxzSalklklklklkkkkkkkkkkkkk [00:27] k [00:27] Gnea: I think son actually [00:27] sec_goat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] keshl i see you've been trying for quite a while, if worse comes, just download 10.04 and upgrade it :) [00:28] Squall5668: You can do that? o_o [00:28] I tried to fix it with supergrub2 [00:29] Keshl: i believe so... why wouldn't it work?:) [00:29] sec_goat: hehe [00:29] werever: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:29] but I,m unable boot up supergrub2 in my kingston usb [00:29] werever, if you installed windows after ubuntu then windows overwrote your mbr with its own loader. a grub setup /dev/sda should restore it (i think) [00:30] I installed ubuntu after windows [00:30] werever, do you have multiple drives or something? [00:30] werever: But you still have lost grub, right? [00:30] Squall5668: Firstly, because I have no idea how to do a distribution upgrade. Secondly, she's got *really* bad juju. I can't even explain how bad. I feel uneasy just talking to her in fear that it might spread to me, but I think the first reason's the bigger problem. <.< [00:31] grub never appeared === wolf is now known as wolf__ [00:31] keshl: i don't know who she is, haven't been following your chat, to dist upgrade, use either "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or "update-manager -d" [00:31] werever: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:31] usr13, i dont think grub ever was installed correctly [00:31] yep I reading on this url usr13 [00:32] werever, no indications of problems during the install [00:32] al lnormally escott === chris_ is now known as Guest88960 [00:32] Squall5668: Thanks. Never woulda got that. <.< I'll be trying to install it now, using an old version. [00:32] hi [00:32] I have 1 Hd splitted in 2 partitions one for windows and one for data [00:32] escott: That is quite possible. The information from that URL should get him headed in the right direction... [00:32] next I used default and recoommended settings on ubuntu installation wizard [00:32] werever, do you have an efi system? [00:33] Iam not sure what is EFI [00:33] werever, is your computer super new? does your mouse work in the bios? [00:33] werever: YOu used default recommended partition layout for using free space... that what you mean? [00:33] mouse on bios, not work [00:33] yes usr13 [00:34] werever: Are you able to use the CD to boot into it? [00:34] yes usr13 [00:34] normally I prefer usb boot up for save time, but cd also works [00:35] werever, try reinstalling grub as usr13 suggested just to be sure [00:35] Ok, any of us know this http://www.bootproblems.com/super-grub2-disk/ ? [00:35] I read this tool is good for reinstalling grub2 [00:36] Does super-grub2 install grub or simply allow you to boot into partitions? [00:36] werever: You might also try PartedMagic. [00:36] I have parted magic here [00:36] werever, super-grub2 may not install grub exactly the way ubuntu wants it (although its pretty flexible) [00:36] does parted magic allow me reinstall grub? [00:36] reinstall grub2 with live cd [00:36] Any ideas for a new website [00:36] werever: Do you want to show us what you have? [00:36] werever: IIRC, there's an option to boot another os in the boot menu. [00:36] hi, my wireless doesn't work. and i need help. please [00:36] werever: fdisk -l | pastebinit [00:37] werever: If you're able to boot into the installed Ubuntu, then try reinstalling grub. [00:37] kavurt, whats the problem ? [00:37] werever: Do you want to show us what you have? < << qhat do yo mean?, of course I can show [00:37] I cant boot on installed ubuntu [00:38] fdisk -l | pastebinit [00:38] werever, boot the install disk, mount the ubuntu system, chroot into ubuntu, reinstall grub to the mbr [00:38] werever, was this on a fresh install you just did ? [00:38] werever: Not even with the disks? [00:38] ok, where I shoould use fdisk -l | pastebinit [00:38] hiexpo: i can see the wireless card when i say lspci. it used to work. but i just upgraded. now there is only wired network available under system tray. [00:38] werever: I think escott just gave a pretty good summary of what you need to do. [00:39] werever, was this on a fresh install you just did ? yezs is a fresh install [00:39] werever: Open a terminal and type it in: fdisk -l | pastebinit [00:39] ok, I go then to escott instructyions [00:39] im trying to install a package (libdrm-dev) and it says "the following packages have unmet dependencies (libdrm-dev depends: libdrm2, libdrm-intel1, libdrm-radeon1, libdrm-nouveau1...)... but i run apt-get with all those listed, and it says for all 4 of those dependencies that "is already the newest version".... though the unmet dependencies says "= 2.4.21-1ubuntu2.1 but 2.4.22-2ubuntu1 is to be installed" [00:39] werever: And hit enter. [00:39] werever, than you have nothing tp lose so do a new fresh install [00:39] any idea what's wrong? [00:39] hey guys, can anyone tell me how to get multitouch working in Maverick on my laptop? [00:40] usr13, i think werever is talking to us from windows [00:40] tomasm try dpkg --reconfigure [00:40] hiexpo: But there's a good chance it will end the same way. [00:40] yes [00:40] Iam on windows [00:40] but [00:40] I will star in to linux live cd [00:40] escott: O [00:40] and install a client irc to follow this chat [00:40] in the mean time I will save your recommendations until now [00:40] werever: very well [00:41] Squall5668, it says theres no --reconfigure option [00:41] werever, did you md5sum the iso before loading it to usb > or dvd ? [00:41] werever: Yea, well that is the first step. Boot to it. [00:41] hiexpo: He is able to boot the OS so he's got a good install. [00:41] yes, hiexpo, I tried with more than one iso version, 10.10 and 11.04, therefore I dont think 2 isos downloaded today from official servers were cvorrupted [00:41] just out of curisouty and my stupidity, is ther ANY way to recover fiesl deleted with the rm command [00:41] hiexpo: Or boot to it I should say... [00:41] files* [00:42] i accidently deleted all the user dirs from /home [00:42] werever, you've installed ubuntu twice and this happened both times? [00:42] anyone know how to get two-finger scrolling working? [00:42] hi oh *waves* [00:42] yes escott [00:42] * hiexpo thinks the install is bad [00:42] but in the mean time of first try and second try [00:42] bethany: Sortof... [00:42] I deleted all partiontions with ex4 file system [00:42] hiexpo: Well, you may be right, but I don't think so. I think it's just oe [00:42] if all else fails do a fresh [00:42] for a fresh start [00:43] bethany: Are you using the partition where those dirs were deleted? [00:43] currently [00:43] is there a way to make tar remove the original archive after extracting? [00:43] Keshl: I'm just not sure at this point, I can't boot into windows at the moment to check it out [00:43] its on a running system === canon is now known as Acid190 [00:43] production too [00:43] i need help configureing Vsxu to use the sterio mix feed on my audio any reccmendations as to how to do so? [00:43] werever, thats really weird, well try the grub reinstall. i think the web instructions are clearer than i can be [00:43] Cube``, what you mean ? [00:43] hiexpo: you look busy, but do you think there's a fix available for my wireless? [00:43] Gnea: That's fine, I'll try installing via an older version later today, when it's not 77 degrees. x.x [00:43] bethany: If any of that got overwritten, then probably not. But you can try PhotoRec (spelled right?) to search for deleted but still remaining data. [00:44] Gnea: Heat + Keshl = thoughtless actions. [00:44] hiexpo: like extract the files from the .tar, then remove the .tar [00:44] it jsut occured like 2 minuts ago [00:44] kavurt, yes one sec sorry [00:44] Keshl: I dig, good luck [00:44] i need help configureing Vsxu to use the sterio mix feed on my audio any recomendations as to how to do so? [00:44] bethany: In the interest of hindsight, always do backups. :P [00:44] hello [00:44] Cube``, yes easy [00:45] Gnea: Thanks. And now that we're done(ish) here, I just wanna say, holycrudomgwoooow o_o You reply fast comapred to the other channels I've been in. XD [00:45] ya i was just getting ready to do a backup but had a damn typo wipe everythignout [00:45] bethany: Tip: Get off that partition, and mount it read only. [00:45] hiexpo: like how? [00:45] escott yep i will try with this instructions, and If I have small question I will be back, I understand is difficult explain all steps without watching my monitor ......I will be back later guys, on ubuntu thanks [00:45] Keshl: we try :) [00:45] ok i'll wait my turn [00:45] Cube``, it was a tar [00:45] hiexpo: i mean like i to "tar xf " at the moment. is there something like "tar xfR "? [00:46] Cube``, check man tar [00:46] bethany: Honestly, you've probably got your work cut out for you. PhotoRec is the only such tool I'm aware of, and it doesn't restore filenames, only looks for stuff on disk that it thinks looks like data. [00:47] Cube``, so ? you want to uninstall a tar you compiled and installed ? [00:47] I have a script on my desktop that a user helped make for me, right now I have to open terminal and type "sudo script-name.sh" and then it runs great. Is there a way I can just click the icon on the desktop and have it run like it would in terminal? I have tried "open with - bash" and it runs but with errors. [00:47] bethany: But you don't want to be using that partition in the meantime. [00:47] ah fun and hte best part is there is only one partition [00:47] and thats the whole system [00:47] so when my wubi moves to its new partition, do i just update it to the new version of ubuntu? [00:47] bethany get off that partition NOW pull the plug if you have to [00:47] bethany: Shut it down, burn a cd/memory stick with PartedMagic or similar. [00:47] Hey, can anyone here point me to someone who may be able to help with running fsck on an encrypted home partition? [00:47] elijah, try `gksudo script.sh` [00:47] hiexpo: no. gosh. i have a .tar file. id like to extract it and remove it [00:47] bethany: On another computer, I mean. [00:48] leechy: Encrypted with ecryptfs? [00:48] hmm [00:48] any ideas what .gvfs is? can't even show the size of that...thing [00:48] leechy, if it is encrypted with ecryptfs just run a normal fsck [00:48] Cube``, ok i am misunderstanding you you want to untar it < ok > and remove it ? [00:48] QaDeS, its for the gnome virtual filesystem [00:49] QaDeS, gnome virtual file system [00:49] ya problem is that pc is offsite [00:49] djr013, sorry I'm not entirely sure which one it is. It's the default encryption from the checkbox during installation. [00:49] pfifo: it works fine with "sudo script.sh" what I want to do is be able to click it and have it run [00:49] bethany, time to call support [00:49] leechy: Yeah, normal fsck should be fine. [00:49] hiexpo: yes, untar a .tar, then remove it to reduce clutter [00:49] Cube``, oh ok 1 sec [00:49] elijah, just run it with gksudo [00:49] escott, i am support [00:49] djr013: It hasn't worked. I have a file in my home directory that is corrupted and causes the system to hang whenever it is accessed. [00:49] is it normal i t cannot be queried as a file/dir? [00:50] bethany: The more you use the machine, the more data you lose. :P [00:50] QaDeS, yes [00:50] djr013: I tried running fsck several times on boot and it still doesn't work. [00:50] bethany: I shudder to think of the logs of your IRC app overwriting valuable data.. :/ [00:51] leechy: My best guess is the file didn't encrypt properly... [00:51] leechy, breaks the gui or breaks the system? could you ctrl-alt-f1 and get to a console [00:51] leechy: What's the name of it? [00:51] Cube``, sorry rr so you want to delete the tarball after install :) [00:51] ok I have an issue im trying to work out. I installed a smaug mud. It runs. I can telnet into it my localhost, but I cannot telnet into it through the IP address, nor can other get into it, they get connection denied. Any ideas how to solve this? [00:51] changing my nickname to chrissomething.. === Guest88960 is now known as chrissomething [00:52] there [00:52] djr013: It's named correctly. It's just a .part download from my browser. [00:52] djr013, i was remotey connected to the server [00:52] escott: it doesn't really break anything, it just causes the system to go unresponsive depending on which program is trying to access it. [00:52] leechy, a .part from firefox why not delete it [00:52] chrissomething: port forwarding? [00:52] it's a 4.4 [00:53] Gb download [00:53] GB* [00:53] kavurt, you still here? [00:53] hiexpo: yes [00:53] one down one to go [00:53] It also causes a hang on deletion. [00:53] I even tried to dd over it. [00:53] squall I turned off the router firewall, would that bypass port forwarding issues? [00:53] kavurt, ok open terminal and type ifconfig [00:53] I think there was something about the inode being wrong. [00:53] bethany: Well, any data written to disk (like Firefox profiles and whatnot) can potentially take the place of a formerly referenced file's location on the disk. [00:54] leechy, you probably don't have many files that large [00:54] leechy, try to delete it from .ecryptfs [00:54] chrissomething: not in some stupid routers, just set your pc as dmz to make sure (remember to unset it later) [00:54] if someone messed up the version on a package dependency (ie =2.4.21 rather than >2.4.21), how can i force a package to be installed even with the dependency error? [00:54] hiexpo: i did, there's eth and lo [00:54] leechy, run a filesystem check [00:54] pfifo: I did, it didn't fix anything. [00:54] squall cool, ill try that now [00:54] kavurt, ok no wireless than [00:54] hiexpo: no [00:54] leechy, logout of gnome (which will unmount the loopback), and find a 4.4+gb file in /home/leechy/.ecryptfs and delete that [00:55] i just shut it down so when i get there tmoarow i will find out [00:55] escott: you would be surprised how many large files I have haha. [00:55] leechy, it didnt fix anything as in it found errors and did not fix them? [00:55] pfifo: it said there were no errors. [00:55] tomasm-: familiar with synaptic? [00:55] leechy: show us: ls -l | pastebinit [00:55] almoxarife, kinda i guess [00:55] leechy, whats the error when you try to delete? [00:55] kavurt, ok do you know what card you have? [00:56] k [00:56] pfifo: it just hangs and the whole system goes unresponsive until I have to hard reset it. [00:56] bethany: Good luck, I might be having to use PhotoRec or something similar today too. :C [00:56] tomasm-: you can use the 'force' version [00:56] hiexpo: intel centrino wireless-n 1000 [00:56] leechy, it sounds like your harddrive is breaking [00:56] well its worth a try thats for sure [00:56] what's a command to get my actual bios system time? [00:56] hiexpo: i got it from lspci [00:56] kavurt, what driver ? [00:57] hiexpo: i don't know [00:57] pfifo: well it has worked fine for a while now and I haven't had any problems with it before. [00:57] kavurt, ok 1 sec let me see :0 [00:57] hiexpo: What card does he have? [00:58] bethany: From a quick google search http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [00:58] kavurt: What card is it? [00:58] I hope for my own sake it works well. :/ [00:58] usr13: I'm on irc on a separate computer. 'ls -l' gave me a total of 6918400 and all the files seem to be okay. [00:58] i hope so too [00:58] leechy i still think that deleting the encrypted file from the ext4 partition is your best bet [00:58] leechy: Oh, ok [00:58] Maahes, hwclock [00:58] almoxarife, thanks, looks like that worked [00:58] usr13: when i say lspci, it says: intel centrino wireless-n 1000 [00:59] pfifo: danke [00:59] if you can figure out what the encrypted filename is/identify it based on the number and size of other files in its folder [00:59] kavurt: What does iwconfig say? [00:59] escott: I will try it. I really don't want to have to download 4.4GB again.... Blah [00:59] leechy, thought you already tried to dd over it [01:00] usr13: eth0 no wireless extensions [01:00] say if i wanted to stream what is visable on my screen what would be recomended to use? [01:00] escott: I did, but I still don't want to lose it. [01:00] kavurt, hwinfo --netcard [01:00] leechy, its hard to imagine you haven't already trashed it [01:00] um [01:00] escott: dd failed instantly, I don't know if it did or not. [01:00] say if i wanted to stream what is visable on my screen what would be recomended to use? [01:00] kavurt: You only have eth0 ? No eth1 or no others? [01:00] usr13: no [01:01] leechy, you could copy the encrypted file off to another folder to try and rescue later [01:01] say if i wanted to stream what is visable on my screen what would be recomended to use? [01:01] hiexpo: i have no hwinfo installed [01:01] escott: Do you think there might be an ecryptfs- utility to trace an encrypted file back to its .ecryptfs location? [01:01] kavurt: So this is a laptop and does not have a regular ethernet device ? [01:01] usr13, had wireless before upgrade [01:01] djr013, unaware of one, but obviously there has to be something [01:01] say if i wanted to stream what is visable on my screen what would be recomended to use? [01:01] usr13: it does [01:02] I'm guessing ecryptfs-stat. [01:02] escott: Eh, I just rm'd it but thanks for the help. [01:02] kavurt: Then what else does iwconfig list? eth1 or wlan0 or ...? Any others...? [01:03] usr13: eth0 and lo. nothing else [01:03] Bluebill-Wolf, less? [01:03] squall well that made some progress, I went from instant connection denied to it just hanging but still wont connect.

[01:04] kavurt: hiexpo That is strange... And this happened after distribution upgrade? Is that it? From what to what? ... 9.04 to 10.04 ? [01:04] longfile? [01:04] Anyway, I'm going to leave now. usr13, djr013, escott: thank you for the help [01:05] hiexpo: yes, i did do-release-upgrade -d [01:05] Bluebill-Wolf, anything with a lot of output. cat war_and_peace.txt | less [01:05] No problem leechy.

So, not sure what to make of that. [01:06] kavurt: What does lspci say about the ethernet device?

[01:07] i ment as in a applacation to that i can use to that the out put feed and send it to the Ustream from my moniter rather then from my camra [01:07] Bluebill-Wolf, did you mean stream as in video stream of the desktop ? [01:07] hiexpo: Unfortunately, no easy way to transfer changes (preferably only the still relevant ones) to the new install [01:07] correct [01:07] usr13: hiexpo: ok, thanks. i will reinstall the system. [01:07] jessica did you try searching for firefox and not firefox3? [01:08] squall I dont think I have any firewalls installed, I installed firestarter awhile back, but I loaded it up and it was off, I re-turned if off anyways. [01:08] kavurt, should do fresh install and i would personally recomend 10.04 [01:08] kavurt: I hate to give up on it, but that might be easiest solution for you.... so, go for it. [01:08] Bluebill-Wolf, recordmydesktop [01:08] much obliged [01:08] kavurt: I agree with hiexpo's recommendation [01:08] Bluebill-Wolf, although it doesn't stream so much as record [01:08] can somone help me, i need to be able to do this offline, but it requires an online download: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652910&highlight=wpn111 [01:09] hiexpo: usr13: thanks for trying anyway. [01:09] chrissomething, this doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem, im not sure how much help you can get here [01:09] is there a way to make it do so ? [01:09] kavurt: That is not to say that 11.04 won't install just fine, without a hitch, but just to be on the safe side, if you want a reliable system for sure...

[01:10] http://www.ustream.tv [01:10] that [01:10] squall aye, might be my router still. Ill unplug it and try that way. Thanks for trying [01:11] ok hiexpo and usr13. thanks [01:11] kavurt, good luck [01:11] Squall5668, I think I found the problem. I added the new repository for firefox 4, and somehow it removed the previous firefox version package references in synaptic... I just removed the repositories and the package references are back :) [01:12] Eiriksvin, you can download all the required debs and put them on a thumb drive [01:12] jessica: cool, just don't bother to much, 11.04 is almost here, and has firefox4 in it :) [01:12] Hi :D i have a problem with the ubuntu live cd, i put the cd into my mac and restart booting from the cd, i get to a purple screen, i get stuck there for a while then the screen starts flickering and then the cd drive just stops and the screen goes blank. I then have to hold down the power button to power off. I've tried the mac and pc edition both in 10.10 and 11.04, help!? :L [01:12] Bluebill-Wolf, you want to record from ustream or push to ustream [01:12] Simon__: What is your hardware? [01:13] push to [01:13] imma noob... i dont know how to do that stuff [01:13] mac mini (2010 remodel) Intel core 2 duo 2.4 GHz 2GB mem [01:13] hi i ve install ubuntu in a notebook toshiba satelite u505 but when the coller start the ubuntu stop working anyone know how can i fix it [01:13] Eiriksvin, do you have access to another computer and an ethernet cord? that would be easiest [01:14] Bluebill-Wolf, you can record your desktop and then upload to ustream but not sure about both at the same time.. [01:14] Bluebill-Wolf, a lot of people record from vnc and you could probably pipe that through a converter and push it up [01:15] i only have one comp and my windows got hit by viruses real bad they even found a way to take my windows reg key so now its not "genuine" [01:15] last time i tried that it failed [01:15] galera [01:15] but i'll let you know what i find [01:15] anyone? [01:15] Eiriksvin, borrow a friends computer? [01:16] hello? [01:16] Eiriksvin, i just know thats the easiest [01:16] Simon__: What ISO do you have? [01:16] it wont matter, i still only have wifi in my apt building [01:17] Eiriksvin, you can't plug in directly to the router ie its not yours [01:17] Eiriksvin, whats the problem now?.. still no wifi? [01:17] usr13 ubuntu-11.04-beta2-desktop-amd64+mac + ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 + ubuntu-11.04-beta1-desktop-amd64 [01:18] Simon__: So which one were you trying to install with? [01:18] to be honest, i dont have many friends... im a country boy that even works for my family farm... i dont have much so friends didnt seem very important either... heck i got more friends on my ps3 tham real life... heh [01:19] yeah, i live with my gf in a small apt wifi is free [01:19] I've recently bought a creative webcam, with a micrphone incorporated, a cretive live cam model no. vf0420. on teamspeak my friends complain my voice sounds robotic and is praticaly not understandeable. what can I do to work this around? i'm on 10.10. [01:19] i got the comp and the wifi adapter free [01:19] Eiriksvin, well its all about getting a list of the filenames you need to complete the task [01:20] Eiriksvin, you can run the commands and if they fail because you cant get some file (wget fails) [01:20] write down the filename, and download it from windows [01:20] usr13 im not installing yet im trying out ubuntu on my mac cause it has better specs than my pc, i already have it installed on my laptop (pc). [01:20] Simon__: do they pass MD5 test? [01:20] i just used a wet rag to clean off the outside of this old monster, and took a air compresser to the inside just to blow out a pound of dust:) [01:21] Eiriksvin: Well I'd suggest doing it with Linux on your PS3, but... (sorry couldn't help myself) [01:21] how do i share files from ubuntu to ubuntu pc's? [01:21] actionparsnip the what test? :L ive never heard of it [01:21] Simon__: So you tried to boot the ubuntu-11.04-beta2-desktop-amd64+mac ? [01:21] Simon__, run md5sum ubuntu*.iso and compare with the stated values [01:21] !md5 | Simon__ [01:21] Simon__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:22] i can't boot into my new partition, does anyone have any hints as to what i did wrong? [01:22] Simon__: currently you have no way of knowing the images are good as you have failed to test them [01:22] usr13: all macs are amd64 so theres just on universal iso [01:22] otako, what if any error messages you get [01:22] otako: What version? [01:22] none, i have wubi [01:22] meerkat [01:22] can anyone help me to get graphics acceleration working on an intel card. not sure if it is a driver issue [01:22] Not all Macs are amd64. Not all Intel Macs are amd64, even ;P [01:23] sound works fine but dvd and game graphics are choppy [01:23] Simon__, usr13 do you need to do anything special to boot macs in the bios compatible mode or does ubuntu deal with the efi [01:23] we cant have linux on ps3 anymore, they took it away [01:23] I've recently bought a creative webcam, with a micrphone incorporated, a cretive live cam model no. vf0420. on teamspeak my friends complain my voice sounds robotic and is praticaly not understandeable. what can I do to work this around? i'm on 10.10. [01:23] Eiriksvin, and the hackers brought it back :) [01:23] how do i share files from ubuntu to ubuntu pc's? [01:23] hmm [01:23] fixed one but haveing issues with a new [01:23] chotaz: run: lsusb websearch for the 8 character hex id [01:23] Ignivomous, most secure method is ssh [01:24] my boot screen just doesn't have the new copy on it [01:24] escott: thinking that myself actually [01:24] action parsnip, ty [01:24] Ignivomous, but there are lots of others ftp/NFS/smb [01:24] escott , is that CLI or GUI? [01:24] Ignivomous: All depends on who you need to share them with, there are hundreds of ways. [01:24] Ignivomous: you can install openssh and use sshfs or install samba and share folders using nautilus [01:24] im wondering if i can tell if nvivia or ati drivers are installed and interfering with the xorg driver [01:24] Ignivomous, scp is command line, but there are certainly guis [01:24] ubottu: thatnk you ill go check it out now [01:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:24] oh somone needs to let them know that 64 bit for amd64 always has the checksum different i tried to download it 3 times, had to go with the 32 [01:25] it won't mount the partition i put the new copy on [01:25] squall hey another question... when setting port forwarding, how do I know which ending number (192.168.1.x) I should have it at? [01:25] so i need to install samba to shares files right? [01:25] Ignivomous: samba will be gui but can be cli, sshfs needs zero config as it uses the access already in your OS [01:25] Ignivomous: samba is just one option [01:25] chrissomething, where do you want to forward to [01:26] If 11.04 is being released on the 28th, shouldn't an RC be out by now? or are they not having one this time around? [01:26] chrissomething ifconfig shows your IP [01:26] actionparsnip , and i need to install it on both PCs? [01:26] it's in the topic Flynsarmy [01:26] squall ah excellent. [01:26] Ignivomous, install and start your ssh server (its the most useful thing to have) if its not what you want then get something else [01:26] for example mine says somewhere : inet addr:10.0.0.1 [01:27] Ignivomous: you can already access samba shares from a default install, you only need to install samba on the system you want to share files from [01:27] Ignivomous, you only need a server on one machine but I've always installed ssh servers on every linux machine i've had [01:27] excott trying to set up so people can telnet into a MUD server, only works from localhost not external telnetting at the moment. [01:27] help with graphics acceleration. intel video card [01:27] swuall alright got it, .104 for me. [01:27] squall got it, .104 for me [01:27] pfifo: I get it now, thakns [01:27] Eiriksvin, which site are you getting it from alot of people say getting it via torrents is a better [01:28] actionparsnip i've installed ov51x-jped multiple times but i still have this problem [01:28] chotaz: no idea what that is [01:28] chrissomething, because you hae a NAT, so the ip of the server you want to forward to [01:28] dvd and game video is choppy, is it possible nvidia or ati drivers are installed and interfering with the org driver [01:28] or how do i check to make sure the proper driver is installed. [01:29] the only driver that shows in additional drivers is my b43 [01:29] list [01:29] escott he already set it as DMZ so, thats not a prob, still its some network setting, nothing to do with ubuntu probably [01:29] why cant i get autologin to work? [01:29] yo [01:29] squall does ubuntu come with some firewalls already installed that I might not be seeing? [01:30] chrissomething iptables, but inactive unless you configure it [01:30] ok so i installed samba and when i want to share a file i get this message "Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory)" [01:31] kermit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin [01:31] chrissomething: maybe some setting in mudserver? i never used it, but i suppose it has a setting asking which address to use, does it use the external one? [01:31] yo [01:31] nikto [01:31] Ignivomous: you share folders, not files === zaveden_mirisom_ is now known as Stameni [01:31] barada nikto [01:31] i meant folder [01:32] Ignivomous: try: sudo apt-get upgrade samba-common-bin [01:33] intel video card: how to enable vga so dvd and games are not choppy or make sure proper drivers are installed [01:33] actionparsnip: yes i did all that [01:33] binox, there are no special drivers for intel. what does glxinfo say [01:33] actionparsnip , thank you [01:34] kermit: if you log off and on, does the setting stick? [01:34] actionparsnip: yes [01:34] squall no it just has a port I can specify which I am. Something is still interferring with connection, it just hangs then times out. Any setting files in ubuntu that might block telnet requests from the internet somewhere? [01:35] binox, you could check in synaptic that the xorg-intel-video-intel is installed [01:35] can you ping yourself externally? [01:35] how do i get the wine menu back i deleted it when i cleaned i reinstalled wine and now have no menu [01:35] saludos tengo una consulta no se si puedan contestarme tengo ubuntu 10.10 y ATI control center instalado y antes aplicaba los cambios de resolucion o display sin reiniciar y ahora me pide reiniciar saben porque sera??

[01:56] binox, logout of the session and log back in, you could also look into your /var/log/xorg.0.log and see if anything is failing.

[01:58] is there any way to fix this or i have to reinstall again ? [01:58] Stameni, #ubuntu+1 [01:58] Dwade09: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [01:58] hi all [01:58] escott, whats that ?

But the '/home/doug/Desktop/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb' provides it via: 'flashplugin-nonfree' [02:04] !pastebinit | binox [02:04] binox: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:04] binox, lspci | pastebinit [02:04] escott: yeah its set in there, it just doesnt seem to work [02:05] Dwade09: for what it's worth i use the flash player 10 package from the Software Center [02:05] fantastic, thank you all for your help, cu again soon [02:05] kermit, im not clear on how it all works, when I disable the autologin it doesn't delete the file... but your could delete the file and autologin would be disabled [02:06] hey guys i need dome help [02:06] some* [02:06] Samo502, you got a link?

[02:40] rallias, system -> preferences -> startup applications [02:40] velcroshooz i got that far, what folder are the executables in? [02:41] rallias, the executable should be in your path, so folder shouldnt be necessary. just try 'empathy' for example [02:41] Belinrahs: e.g. "patch -p1 < ../patchfile.diff" [02:41] #ubuntu-es [02:41] ahh ok I was missing the "<" thank you very much!

[02:58] !xy [02:58] The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is.

[03:39] my whole operating system to another drive [03:39] Most of the sectors were marked, but I will need to buy a new hard drive to make sure I have a back up [03:40] sure, but it won't have linux-swap or grub [03:40] Squall5668: it's a usb hdd, not listed in fstab [03:40] Logan_, there is such a thing as 'worst' programs [03:40] i was thinking about something similar [03:41] Stryker: I guess that WorstBot should be created, in that case. [03:41] Does ubuntu 10.04 work with i5 2500K... Am facing a lot of issues on 10.10 :( ? [03:41] milind: do you have the external monitor plugged in right now? [03:41] milind: you could try `lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer | fgrep system.hardware` and see it if includes the second monitor [03:42] im about to try to get my Netgear Rangemax WPN111 USB Wifi adapter to pick up the refracted light of pluto and somehow convert it to a wifi signal of such a magnitude that linux will be forced to recognise my USB adapter and connect me to the internet! [03:42] wish me luck:) [03:42] Squall5668: I figured it out, I needed to disable "media automount" in nautilus [03:43] heh [03:43] noted :) [03:43] how do i create a copy of my linux onto another harddrive? (detailed) [03:43] Samo502, you there? [03:44] Stryker: How similar is the other hard drive? [03:44] * Diamondcite run away. [03:44] Dwade09: yeah i got back from dairy queen a few minutes ago [03:44] Samo502, it didnt work [03:44] hello there i would like to revert my python installation to the system installed version, i did a convertion a while ago only to discover it apparently broke some functionality [03:44] Stryker use gparted and copy everything with it, if grub doesn't work chroot, and run a grub-update [03:45] diamond the other hard drive has the same type of partition, and same amount of gigabytes [03:45] That's better. This drive has 6 encrypted partitions, and anytime I plugged it in I'd throw up 6 password prompts [03:45] Samo502, http://imagebin.org/150340 [03:45] MK`` lol [03:45] Khisanth, i think 'xrandr -d :0 -q | grep ' connected' | wc -l' should work, it is outputting 2, right now because the output of xrandr shows 2 monitors connected...dont know it will be foolproof though [03:45] Stryker: If the drive is the same size, technically you can use the dd command to copy the whole drive as is onto another drive. [03:45] Dwade09: i think i have an idea, i'm gonna try something really quick [03:45] hey Diamondcite think you could help me too? [03:45] ok Samo502 [03:45] that's pretty nifty [03:46] Stryker, you still have to correct the fstab-entries, which point to your old system... [03:46] Khisanth, thanks for ur help thought. i appreciate it. [03:46] how do i do that? === Jake_ is now known as JDM84 [03:46] Dwade, trying to find out what you are trying for.. [03:46] Dwade09: Also hulu is blocked from canada. [03:47] Diamondcite, its in the chan, see the chan we are together. [03:47] Stryker, get uuids from your new drive with "sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid" and put them to the corresponding fstab-entries [03:48] How to remove repositories from ubuntu software center? [03:48] stREaKer, go to settings in software center [03:48] thx rumpel [03:48] rumpe1, [03:49] does not help :| I still see all the sources in the right hand tab [03:49] yeah... okay, go to sources.lst, and delete the ones u don't want [03:49] Stryker, as long as you don't try to point your bootloader to your new system via "update-grub" in chroot, you will still be able to boot your old system... i hope, you have made backups. ;) [03:49] how do i avoid that the screensaver pop ups automagically when im watching videos whit totem? [03:50] lol, automagically [03:50] Dwade09: let me guess, your computer is a 64 bit computer? === Laggg is now known as Laggg9k [03:50] Stryker: dont that too but no use :( ... will the sources show if the packages are installed on the PC [03:50] Samo502, 32 bit [03:50] Samo502, was working just fine yesterday now it does all this. [03:50] Souperman: System>Preferences>Screensaver [03:50] stREaKer, probably not [03:50] Dwade09: i'm reading that 64 bit linux flash has trouble with this issue [03:50] Samo502, im running 32 bit [03:51] Stryker: then its not working [03:51] fdsf [03:51] stREaKer, i highly doubt that you need to remove sources if you have installed packages from them === dream is now known as Guest54625 [03:52] Stryker: I was messing around to get recent builds by adding sources but got unstable builds instead :( so am at a loss [03:52] Stryker: What do you plan to do with the old drive? Why are you migrating? [03:52] Jordan_U, so i can have a whole disk for linux instead of half a disk [03:53] Does Lucid Lynx support Sandy bridge architecture ? [03:53] Squall5668, i have there an option that says "dont popup the screensaver while watching movies"? no, there is none, wow why havent i checked the obvious option before asking!! [03:53] Stryker: What do you plan to do with the old drive? [03:53] use it solely for windows, while still containing linux Jordan_U [03:54] Samo502, so sorry took so long to get back to you, we had a tornado warning so i was watching the weather station and getting things ready if it hit. [03:54] Souperman, thanks for that, i should have guessed what exactly you have tried by talking to my good friend nostradamus [03:54] Souperman: What I tend to do is add the "power manager inhibit applet" to the panel, and enable that when watching stuff.. [03:54] stREaKer, natty alpha 2 seems to have support for sandy bridge [03:54] Dwade09: i doubt this would do much, but have you restarted your computer at all since this started? [03:55] yes i shut it down a while ago during the tornado warning. [03:55] stREaKer, http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-04-Alpha-2-Has-Support-for-Sandy-Bridge-182478.shtml [03:55] Stryker: The reason I ask is that if you do a simple dd copy then it will copy the UUID of the filesystem as well. And when "Universally Unique Identifiers" are duplicated and thus no longer unique it can cause problems :) [03:55] rumpe1: yeah even 10.10 has it :P But if 10.04 had it I would have sticked to that . [03:55] I dont like the new UNITY :( [03:55] any chat client in ubuntu that supports video chat? [03:55] stREaKer, switching to another desktop environment isn't a big deal [03:55] bison: Skype [03:55] bison, skype [03:55] jinx! [03:55] :P [03:55] bison: Empathy, which comes installed by default. [03:56] Dwade09: i can't find a whole lot on it, it's obviously either a flash player issue of some type [03:56] rumpe1: I will try it after a proper stable release later this month .. oh wait that tomorrow!! :P [03:56] jordan: i think empathy doesnt support video calling [03:56] bison: It does. [03:56] bison i concur with Jordan_U [03:56] Well i havent tried video calling on empathy :P [03:56] jordan: why is it disabled [03:57] stREaKer, i wouldn't call it "stable" if it's just released... ^^ [03:57] thanks Samo502 for trying. [03:57] bison: It is not "disabled". What chat protocal are you trying to use? [03:57] rumpe1: Atleast this will be the LTS release right? [03:57] yahoo [03:57] stREaKer, natty hasn't LTS [03:57] Dwade09: most solutions say reinstall flash player, but from what i've seen that hasnt' fixed people's problems [03:58] it is every other number that it is lts [03:58] like 8>20 [03:58] whops [03:58] rumpe1: then we wont have LTS for 11 ?? :O [03:58] 8>10 [03:58] nope [03:58] jordan: im using empathy to chat with my yahoo contacts but the video options is not working [03:58] 11.10 will most likely be lts [03:58] ohk [03:59] neat, Squall5668 [03:59] bison: It looks like video may not be supported with the protocal Yahoo uses: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#For_which_protocols_does_Empathy_support_audio_and_video_chat.3F [03:59] hello everyone [03:59] Dwade09: having flash issues? [04:00] ActionParsnip, hulu.com wont play videos [04:00] correction: 11.10 won't be lts, my bad ppl [04:00] ActionParsnip, http://imagebin.org/150340 is that i get everytime even though i done it 40 times already [04:00] man, unity is the sexy [04:00] i want to know how to use .net in ubuntu [04:00] cat_ google for mono [04:01] BitOperator, unity does not work on my machine! [04:01] cat_ did you try this: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/create-compile-and-run-net-on-ubuntu/ [04:01] Dwade09: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [04:02] Jordan_U: thanks, how can i connect my ubuntu box into our windows server 2008? [04:02] sorry to hear that Stryker, gfx card problem ? [04:02] man, its so nice; I am almost sold on ubuntu [04:02] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/gDTbhmzm [04:03] BitOperator, yup [04:03] Dwade09: mint isn't supported here [04:03] ActionParsnip, its same stuff, as ubuntu, [04:03] Dwade09: it's still not supported [04:03] !mint | Dwade09 [04:03] Dwade09: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:04] ActionParsnip, i wouldnt be here if they could help me. [04:04] how can i connect my ubuntu in our windows server 2008? [04:04] how do i create a copy of my linux onto another harddrive? (detailed) [04:04] Dwade09: your disro is offtopic here, this is for canonical releases only. ALL the other spinoff distros made on the basis of Ubuntu are also NOT supported here [04:04] what is the sintax to make an update alternatives entry switch to automatic? [04:05] So, i'm supposed to have a gts 250m, but ubuntu's "additional drivers" window doesn't show it at all....... [04:05] ActionParsnip, can you just give me some help, and what ever you where going to try tell me so i can try it. please. im at a loss. [04:05] ActionParsnip, he is helping people, I think he should be welcomed, not shood [04:05] *shooed [04:06] Stryker: its the channel policy [04:06] Dwade09: if you expect support from the ubuntu community then you should use ubuntu, not some cheap hack [04:06] i know i know [04:07] Stryker you misunderstood him, even if we want to help him, maybe we just can't. If there is something wrong with Mint we won't know since we don't use it === nestor is now known as Pro-Racing [04:07] even if it wasn't channel policy, its still best to ask ppl who can help [04:07] What is a simple program to synchronize two directories over separate networks? [04:07] hi, i am using 10.04 lts which has libcairo2 1.8.10, but this has show-stopping bugs which are fixed in 1.10.0. what is the best way for me to get libcairo2 1.10.0 on lts? [04:07] automatically, periodically [04:08] Dwade09: by the same token if ubuntu or mint people ask for support in #debian they will point you to the correct place to ask [04:08] any idea in connecting ubuntu in windows server 2008? [04:08] ActionParsnip, im already in linuxmint-help but they do not know what to do. [04:08] debian is mostly hosted on odbc servers, and they all hate me quite well because i use ubuntu [04:08] JohnTeddy: the easiest way should be cron jobs :) [04:08] what is the best way to run a script at start up? [04:09] is there a repository that has optional updated packages for lts? [04:09] milind: did you try System>preferences>startup applications? [04:10] ActionParsnip, i am not upset or mad at you or furious with you for that, i do understand 100% and I am sorry I am not using ubuntu but linuxmint, i am seriously thinking of switching back. [04:10] mbecroft: maybe backports? [04:10] milind: does it require the x server to be running and does it need the x server running? [04:10] hi whats the command to start loginscreen plz [04:11] 1 question in two! nice action [04:11] Fudge, do you mean gnome? sudo start gdm [04:11] ActionParsnip, yes it does [04:11] Squall5668 yes but its to configure gdm to turn on accessibility and classic desktop [04:11] Dwade09: I will say this, the Minte interface is spiffy... any way to get something like that in Ubuntu? [04:12] Actually that question would probably be best directed at someone else... sorry;) [04:12] milind: for which [04:12] sorry Fudge i didn't catch that [04:12] hey guys is there any solution to this problem: For some reason the panel that appears on the top of all windows dissapear, and now I can't drag the windows or minimize because I don't see those buttons [04:12] hey,an error occured in avast :无效的参数 [04:12] loginscreen is in system administration but i cant access the properties to see what the command is [04:12] Asmodeus87, i believe you can get it of of ubuntu's own repositories, but i may be whrong [04:12] Chilaquiles: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [04:12] Chilaquiles: No idea man [04:13] zhangcheng, wrong channel [04:13] Squall5668: that's what i am looking for; alas it does not include an updated libcairo2. any other ideas where i could get it? [04:13] So, i'm supposed to have a gts 250m, but ubuntu's "additional drivers" window doesn't show it at all....... [04:13] ActionParsnip, its just a script, that detects how many montors are connected to the laptop..and if the number is 2..then it makes my external laptop the primary monitor..thats all...so i want to put this script in start up. [04:13] !zhangcheng|cn [04:13] milligan /etc/rc.local ?

[04:14] ActionParsnip: I think it worked but it screwed up my screenlets :( [04:14] Stryker: I have no idea what to look under though... I'll take a look at some guides tomorrow [04:15] any idea in connecting ubuntu in windows server 2008? [04:15] milind: then add it in the startup items and it will run [04:15] on irc ;) [04:15] Asmodeus87, look up mint [04:15] hey guys [04:15] mbecroft: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libcairo2 [04:15] bison: connect in what way?? "connect" means nothing [04:15] bison, what do you mean "connect" [04:15] orangess it is /nick NEWNICKNAME [04:15] is there a channel for gnome 3 [04:15] wick94: #gnome possibly [04:16] bison: use tsclient and you will have a connection [04:16] ActionParsnip, i think he means network [04:16] configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH [04:16] what does this mean [04:16] Stryker: i can't think of any other way to connect except over a network [04:16] CornOnTheCob: What are you trying to install? [04:16] hey is Lacar or promille on? [04:16] how to access Windows server 08 under ubuntu? [04:16] looks like you need to install a compiler CornOnTheCob [04:16] hey i think i ve really screwed up my python install, anyone wants to give me a hand with update-alternatives ? [04:16] ActionParsnip, you have a point [04:17] http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7305, I find this, then where to get the pre-installed version of ubuntu? [04:17] hi! I've been struggling to figure out how to install some canon drivers. I finally found some package files with the driver, but they depend on libcupsys2 which is no longer available. I found a couple websites which say there is a "virtual package" which allows me to use libcups2, but I cannot figure out how to install this virtual package. Help? [04:17] @jordan_u ettercap in osx [04:17] bison: stil vague, do you want to connect to the email server running on it, file shares, terminal services..... [04:17] bison, try the "terminal Server Client" [04:17] bison: which [04:17] bison please give some more info, what is it you want to access? remote desktop? telnet? active directory? [04:17] CornOnTheCob, have you tried ./configure instead? [04:17] bison: do you mean like RDP? [04:17] ok, thanks to you [04:17] CornOnTheCob: This is #ubuntu. For OSX try ##mac. [04:18] i know jordan [04:18] i thought it would be best to start here [04:18] #ubuntu-desktop [04:18] hardly even the same CornOnTheCob [04:18] CornOnTheCob: This channe is for Ubuntu support questions only. [04:18] similar file structure === orangess is now known as theGreatDane [04:18] bison: if you can clarify HOW you want to connect (for what service you want to connect to) we can advise [04:18] CornOnTheCob, try a unix or bsd channel [04:19] stryker, stop being so hostile [04:19] something weird is happening [04:19] CornOnTheCob, i have the freedom of speech [04:19] CornOnTheCob: Do *not* ask in a bas channel. They will also likely not appreciate OSX questions. [04:19] CornOnTheCob: *BSD channel. [04:19] i understand you like to pass the buck [04:19] but don't be so hostile please [04:19] when I press a folder in the places menu in gnome, it opens rhythmbox! I just checked update-alternatives --all for a setting, but I didn't find one [04:20] Oo [04:20] anyone know what tells gnome what to use? gconf maybe? [04:20] manOwl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631961 [04:20] CornOnTheCob, BSD and UNIX are what osx is based on. Please try chatrooms for those. Linux is similar to UNIX but it is not, and it is more appropriate that you try somewhere else [04:20] ActionParsnip: thanks [04:21] yes putting the script in startup applications..worked !! thanks [04:21] So, i'm supposed to have a gts 250m, but ubuntu's "additional drivers" window doesn't show it at all....... [04:21] Stryker, I know this. I understand it's Darwin environment [04:21] Anyone got a solution for IE6 on Ubuntu without the use of a Windows XP VM, I tried IEs4Linux but that didn't work with my newer version of wine or something. [04:21] haha, excelletn! [04:21] no need to be rude just because someone is a little different than you [04:21] ActionParsnip: thanks man [04:21] CornOnTheCob, try out ##unix and or ##mac [04:21] manOwl: np [04:21] lol [04:22] I guess I thought it was so weird that I didn't even want to bother googling [04:22] hey im running ubuntu on a laptop and my touchpad mouse stops working as soon as i log in. how can i fix it? [04:22] iszak: IE6 can't even work right on Wine, is it really nessecary to use it? its bad anyways [04:22] i figured i messed it up myself when I played with update-alternatives or gconf-editor [04:22] iszak: IE6 got a Silver rating on WineHQ, which means it may be usable [04:22] Stryker, are you ever going to answer a technical question for anyone, or are you just going to pass the buck [04:22] Squall5668, testing/development that's all [04:22] iszak: but some plugins might not work, and there's probably nothing you can do about it [04:22] manOwl: linux can nearly always be fixed :) [04:22] CornOnTheCob, he's not being hostile, he's giving you a suggestion on the best place to go to get a reliable answer for your question [04:23] i concur with zaery, CornOnTheCob [04:23] zaery, no need to gang up [04:23] i understand what he's saying [04:23] iszak wine is your only choice then, if you cant make it work, go to #winehq [04:23] CornOnTheCob: does your question have anything to do with ubuntu [04:23] i speak english [04:23] then why are you still here? [04:23] CornOnTheCob, most of us cannot help you with osx [04:24] i'm still here because I'm interested in other people's questions [04:24] and reading them [04:24] CornOnTheCob: Stryker: zaery: Please just drop this conversation. It's not going anywhere productive. [04:24] i concur, Jordan_U [04:24] thank you jordan [04:24] cornonthecob is an awesome nick [04:25] thanks for your help guys, got it sorted by using libcairo2 package from natty which works fine on lucid 10.04 lts [04:25] !offtopic [04:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:40] Dwade09: that's an odd solution but whatever works [04:40] But when I load the DVD , a pop up with title Upgrade Volume Detected comes up I select start package manager there but it doesnt work :S [04:40] Dwade09: if you use thunderbird then you also deleted your emails [04:41] BitOperator: #ubuntu+1 [04:41] thanks [04:41] #ubuntu+1 [04:41] oh, well Dominater download clamav! [04:41] ActionParsnip, i do but its backed up. === cryptk|offline is now known as cryptk [04:41] BitOperator: the Natty channel [04:41] i meant i just remove my hdd which has xp on and i put on it my pc which is ubuntu and want to check for viruses and delete it [04:41] thanks [04:41] is this going to be the Natty channel in 2 days? [04:41] yes, and all hell will break loose [04:41] haha [04:41] :-) [04:41] Dwade09: cool, backups are awesome, you'd be suprised the number of people with "important data" but have no backup. [04:42] expecting a lot of traffic after the official release ? [04:42] is anyone install gtk3 on 10.10 [04:42] BitOperator: yes :( [04:42] ah awell, its all good fun :) [04:42] diaoer: I know a ppa for gnome3 if you want it [04:42] I'm trying to install a canon printer driver in Lucid, I found the driver package from canon-europe, but it depends on libcupsys2. Supposedly libcups2 provides libcupsys2 as a "virtual package" but installing the printer driver cannot find this anyway. Is there anything I can do short of repackaging the printer driver? [04:42] i have a windows server 2008, and i want to access my server using ubuntu [04:43] diaoer: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/ [04:43] i just want install the gtk3 [04:43] what do i need? [04:43] bison: access in what way?? [04:43] ActionParsnip, maybe next time if someone running linux mint, has same issue you could mention that to them, [04:43] thank you ,let me see [04:43] bison again? we need more info [04:43] bison: do you have file shares on the server you want to access? [04:43] Samo502, thank you so much for all your help, [04:43] ActionParnship: like a client of the WS08 [04:43] Dwade09: you're welcome [04:43] hi [04:44] I have local ubuntu mirror, Can i populate it with 11.04 repository, since it is not yet released ? [04:44] bison do you mean Active Directory services? [04:44] bison: what is WS08?

[04:45] i would like to know if theres any possible way to remove scrollbars from gtk+ windows to save space? [04:45] bison: then why not say "Can I make my ubuntu system use active directory" or something intelligent, rather than using "access" which means noting# [04:45] but the ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds is can not used right now [04:45] !register | Portocent [04:45] Portocent: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[04:46] bison: thats my point and was why we were asking how you meant with "access", you can telnet to a mailserver on port 25 and you will be "acessing" it [04:46] bison: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [04:46] ok tanks, some body know an Spanish hardware channel?

[04:51] would overlay cut down on my scrollbars under debian? [04:51] Agentkiller4: not sure. I wouldnt mix ubuntu and debian packages [04:51] Agentkiller4 please join #debian [04:52] Squall5668: I guess you could compile it [04:52] mm, i went to #gnome/#gtk, its too late night, nobody is on, sorry for being out of place =[ [04:52] Agentkiller4: http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.gtkmm/2002-12/msg00127.html === will_ is now known as Real0pty [04:53] is now 11:53 now [04:53] 6:53am , win [04:53] hey folks.

[04:54] chinese time [04:54] :-D [04:55] [04:55] ashmew2: on my natty the updates have left me with my N wireless at 500b/s and 100kb/s on G xD [04:55] my connection.. is less than 256 kbps .... [04:55] AgentKiller4: LOL ! [04:56] ashmew2: yeah, they really gotta fix that, debian doesnt share the same bug xD [04:56] where do i set default permissions for files and directories? /etc/profile or /etc/.profile? [04:56] or is there something a little more universal? [04:56] Agentkiller4 : "D [04:56] Macer: you set them on the directories [04:57] ActionParsnip: but when new directories are created they are 755 [04:57] macer:umask [04:57] and i have to manually change them [04:57] diaoer: is it the umask in profile? === dj is now known as Guest87536 [04:58] you cat ask google for help,my english is so poor ,hehe [04:58] haha [04:58] well.. umask has a setting for the files but not the directories [04:58] unless that 1 number controls both [04:58] let me see if i can find something... but thanks [04:59] Macer: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html [04:59] there you go [04:59] you are welcome [04:59] Agentkiller4: thanks so much heh [04:59] should be a simple append to .profile/bashrc [04:59] yeah.. i am reading it now [04:59] i just have to find out the correct number [05:00] i am looking for a default of rwx for owner and group for directories and rw for owner and r for group for files [05:00] 022 default files 755 [05:00] but what about directories? :) [05:00] Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/ [05:00] Mounting CD-ROM [05:00] E: Failed to mount the cdrom. [05:00] why is this showing even when I have a DVD in it? [05:01] Macer, annother dirty solution would be to actually change the mount parameters [05:01] Macer: so the drive is mounted with RWX [05:01] Agentkiller4: haha.. that's ok. i would rather just change the umask settings for the linux boxes and smb.conf [05:01] i know samba has 2 options for file and dir permissions [05:02] stREaKer: the drive is still the same, as a guess [05:02] but the nfs and local stuff is killing me [05:02] stREaKer: does it not automount? [05:02] ActionParsnip: The GUI didnt work and on terminal with apt-add cdrom am getting this [05:02] driving me nuts every time i make a dir or download a file it has rw_r__r__ for files [05:03] why would distros use that as a default?? [05:03] Macer: yeah, i use a second partition for everything inside private folders so i can force global file permissions [05:03] ActionParsnip: it is mounted and am browsing it still getting the error . [05:03] especially ubuntu server :) [05:03] what's wrong with rw-r--r ? [05:03] Agentkiller4: can you change the umask per dir? [05:03] yeah, rw-r-r is generally safer [05:03] stREaKer: you sure of the path? [05:04] ActionParsnip: How can I be sure of that ? [05:04] ActionParsnip: meaning have different umasks per dir in profile? [05:04] making say... /home and its subdirs default to 700 for files/dirs and something else default for group reads etc? [05:04] ActionParsnip: "/media/Ubuntu 10.10 i386" this is my path [05:04] Macer: i do not think so, i actually mount everything as seperate partitions and have per directory permissions [05:04] or do you only get one global default for umask? [05:05] i think its a global default for root and non root [05:05] i installed nvidia-current, now my additional drivers window says that i've got it installed, but it's not in use. how do i activate it? [05:05] do per directory permissions affect subdirs created within the dir? [05:05] :) [05:05] umask in /etc/profile for all user and in HOME./profile for user [05:05] zaery did you reboot? [05:05] yup [05:06] Macer: it should affect all inside [05:06] Squall5668: can you help me with this? [05:06] diaoer: yeah but that will kind of mess things up just a tad heh.. if a user has a umask of 077 they will write it with no perms for the grp [05:06] if they write something to the group directory [05:06] stREaKer sorry, what? [05:06] Agentkiller4: hm. ok. i will take a look... i have to figure this one out it is driving me nuts ;) thanks for the help [05:07] Macer: is it all on root partition or separated? [05:07] ..i search google .hehe [05:07] ah ok. the umask has different settings on perms per number [05:07] Squall5668: the apt-add cdrom command works on /cdrom/ but my DVD is mounting on /media/ how can i change that [05:07] Agentkiller4: both ;) [05:07] Macer: hmm, because i use nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,posix=1,user,uid=user [05:07] but thanks for the help. i will be able to figure it out.. but i was hoping to avoid having to constantly change permissions [05:08] Macer: to mount my executable folder [05:08] stREaKer eh, that's where they should be mounted, still i think you can use "mount -o bind /media/xxxx /somethingelse" to bind them elsewhere [05:08] not too worried about executables [05:08] more about protecting personal vs group files/dirs [05:08] Squall5668: ohk will try [05:08] in a default manner where nobody can get things in the wrong place or read by others [05:09] or accidently open up a group file to the entire system ;) [05:09] by default [05:09] Macer: but if you mount everything seperately and configure its mount options, so that its broken into nice sections [05:09] Macer you can set a parent folder to a certain mask and make sure anything in it is private, you don't need to change defaults and dont need to chmod all the time [05:10] Macer: look up pydsm, very nice application for managing mountpoints and you can use it to make sure all your folders are mounted with right permissions/umask [05:10] Squall5668: ah ok [05:11] Squall5668: that is what i was trying to figure out ;) [05:11] hello #varnish, I am attempting to hook varnish into my magento config and getting this error [05:11] http://pastie.org/1837941 [05:11] how do do it per dir and not only globally in profile\ [05:11] Barbarroja [05:11] I think there is just a syntax error on line 494 or thereabouts and I am not that good with xml yet === Barbarroja is now known as RobotPirata [05:12] just chmod the folder you want, permissions for files inside it will not matter, since someone else can't enter the dir anyways === RobotPirata is now known as Numero2 [05:12] anyone else* === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja === Numero2 is now known as CapitanCC === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest44071 === CapitanCC is now known as capitanbubilla === capitanbubilla is now known as capitanbombilla [05:15] How easy will it be to update from 10.10 to 11.04 [05:15] easy enough for you to go have some coffee, and just press a few "Y" s [05:16] so it will be like updating a game? [05:16] top_ramen: very [05:16] hm, yes if you don't have custom changes [05:16] top_ramen: the upgrade doc will show you how [05:16] just keep pressing Y when asked [05:16] ok..... [05:17] hh [05:17] im cleaning up my HDDs right now and will be installing 10.10 soon [05:17] top_ramen: why not just wait a few days then install natty [05:17] Squall5668: i will try that but i'm pretty sure that the files even in the new dir will take permissions from the umask [05:17] clean it good enough for it to take a day and install 11.04 right away :) [05:18] which was the problem i was having earlier. but let me get down to it and see what i can do and hopefully it works out .. thanks everybody for the help. going to get this all set up [05:18] Macer ok, tell me what happend too :) [05:20] hm [05:20] can i just source profile to change the umask withoout logging out? [05:20] it appears that nvidia-current is broken on my computer: http://imgur.com/vxMXg [05:21] guess so :) [05:21] zaery: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot [05:21] ok.. the global umask works fine.. all i need to do is figure out how to set umasks on directories and i'm good [05:22] hey guys, something crazy is going on [05:22] hi all [05:22] clear [05:22] oops [05:22] ok, so http://www.google.com [05:22] redirects to feed burner [05:22] and the site looks sheisty, is everyone experiencing this? [05:23] just you chaosbringer [05:23] seriously? [05:23] wtf [05:23] its feedburner.google.com/fb/a/account [05:23] im on ubuntu 10.10 [05:23] there is no way this is a virus or something [05:24] wondering if i could get some help setting up my composite manager? using xcompmgr [05:24] oh i guess you can't umask on a per directory basis :( [05:24] chaosbringer maybe you are logged in google and have changed a setting of some sort? [05:25] http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/account [05:25] it redirects me to that [05:25] wtf [05:25] google: (lol) browser redirect [05:25] only on chrome [05:25] and only on linux [05:25] yeah, only on chrome [05:25] so you are not logged in correct? [05:25] chaosbringer: try as a different user [05:25] i am [05:25] :/ [05:25] chaosbringer: please ease up on the enter key [05:26] sorry ActionParsnip [05:26] wow, im way to high for this [05:26] quit [05:26] chaosbringer: try as a different user [05:26] * LAcan has FINALY vanquished a very persistent version of Alureon from his winblows system. Yay. [05:26] Squall5668: you i think setfacl might do it :) [05:26] use umask for global and setfacl for directories [05:27] even if i logout ActionParsnip it still redirects me to https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=feedburne [05:27] https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=feedburner *** [05:27] chaosbringer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:27] chaosbringer: no, as a different user on your system [05:27] oh, i only have one user in my system, damn [05:27] well, in a diff computer it works as normal [05:28] Hi all. I recently changed swap partitions, and I'm having trouble getting hibernation to work again. (Hardware changes that included more RAM meant my old one was too small to hibernate to.) After changing to the larger swap partition, I can hibernate, but resume fails and it goes on with a normal boot. I get roughly this on the console while booting: "swapon: /dev/sdb4: software suspend data detected. Rewriting the swap signature. / Invalidating stale [05:28] and on firefox it works as it is supposed to as well. So i dont know what the crazy stuff is [05:28] jpk, likely hibernate is using the old swap partition or is incorrectly pointe [05:28] pointed [05:29] chaosbringer try clearing all personal stuff on chrome, and make sure your homepage is set correctly, then restart chrome and try again [05:29] ActionParsnip, i managed to get here: https://encrypted.google.com/ WTF i never even knew that existed [05:29] chaosbringer, youve enable a firefox extention or confiured google to us HTTPS always [05:29] chaosbringer: make a new user then.... [05:30] chaosbringer, thi breaks some google functionality [05:30] Howdy. I'm looking for some help mounting a Samba share as read-write. Currently, I am only able to mount it as read-only. [05:30] setfacl -d -m mask:027 /mnt/Storage/ [05:30] hm. that didn't work :( [05:30] LAcan, its not firefox, its chrome. Also every other browser and computer redirects me correctly, logged in or out [05:30] except for Chrome in ubuntu [05:30] While logged into the Samba server, I am able to mount the share read-write. But on a remote server, I am able to mount as read-only. [05:31] oh. i need to set acl permissions in fstab [05:31] ugh [05:31] LAcan: I figure it's something like that, but I haven't been able to find where to change that. [05:31] chaosbringer, ok w/e. I have the aame settings enabled (somewhere) cuz im on open wifi [05:31] exited, and re-entered, and done [05:31] jpk, I don't know either... [05:31] now its ok and redirects me correctly [05:31] jpk, does the old partition stil show as exisiting? [05:32] i dont know what the hell that feedburner stuff was, but it seems google acquired them a while ago [05:32] how to get thinkfan work for my thinkpad t400 running lucid [05:32] chaosbringer, feedbruner is used to create RSS feeds for static pages like blogs [05:32] LAcan: Yeah, it's still on the disk, but I'm not mounting it any longer. (Added the new partition in /etc/fstab and commented out the old one.) [05:33] jpk, sorry man, that's above my paygrade. cant help you but escott can if/when hes here. [05:33] LAcan, yes. i saw that. however, whenever i tried to go to www.google.com it took me to http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/account and whenever i typed http://google.com it took me to https://encrypted.google.com [05:33] like a browser hijacking but in chrome and for linux [05:34] chaosbringer, ya i have the same thing. ff4 extension i believe.. maybe chrome has a similar feature? [05:34] LAcan: Ah, I gotcha. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks :) [05:34] LAcan, not that i was aware off. And i didnt install any features like that recently [05:34] why does Ubuntu Unity in 11.04 break my compiz/ [05:34] j2cool, because unity is not normal gnome [05:34] =( [05:34] chaosbringer, to be truthful, i dont know how or where my sht is configred to do that either [05:35] but i like that behaviour [05:35] is [05:35] LAcan, u like feed burner? [05:35] j2cool, ive told you that 20 times [05:35] j2cool that's because unity has compiz and settings for it, in it self, also goto #ubuntu+1 [05:35] nopf, encrypted.google.com [05:35] Is thers ppa for lucid to install gnome3 [05:35] ohia Afteraffekt [05:35] oh, yeah, that was ok. but the feed burner stuff was nuts [05:36] fly: http://techienotes.info/2010/09/05/install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-lucid/ [05:36] fly: all I did was websearch..... [05:36] jpk, have u tried googlin? [05:36] thank u [05:37] jpk, this might halep you, at the bottom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [05:38] Howdy. I'm looking for some help mounting a Samba share as read-write. Currently, I am only able to mount it as read-only. While logged into the Samba server, I am able to mount the share read-write. But on a remote client, I am able to mount as read-only. [05:38] kkerwin, you need to make a samba user that the client can login with [05:38] how do I configure compiz to not have the focused window follow me from workspace to workspace? [05:39] Afteraffekt, Done that already. Also, the directory that the client logs into on the server is writable by the user. [05:39] hello how do I disable an integrated graphics card that is eating up my ram? [05:39] then that user doesnt have proper permissions [05:39] lorph: in BIOS [05:39] lorph usually from bios [05:40] EpicCyndaquil not sure about compiz but if you right click the window bar it has a "Always on visible workspace" setting [05:40] Afteraffekt, Hmm. Well, when I ssh into the server, and log in with the user, that user is able to write to the directory. [05:40] MaRk-I: Afteraffekt: there's no way to do it in ubuntu? I'm asking because its a dedicated server [05:40] Squall5668: the issue is regardless of that setting, the FOCUSED window always follows me [05:40] you said you were using samba, samba has those settings [05:41] ssh is a different beast [05:41] LAcan: Aye, but nothing i've found so far worked. I've seen that page, in fact. :-P [05:41] Afteraffekt, When I am logged into the server, I am able to mount the samba share via samba, and am able to write to the share. [05:41] jpk, lol i figured [05:41] oh my bad [05:42] Gfx can only be turned off in bios [05:42] and the samba has to have a user for the client side [05:42] unless you made one yourself, then you didnt do it all the way [05:42] lorph: no idea sorry [05:43] Afteraffekt, Both server and client have a unix user of the same name. I have also used smbpasswd to add them as samba users. [05:43] lorph, dedicated servers dont usually have dedicated graphics cards that eat ram lol - unless its a home made dedi server, then you need to set the bios up to reflect that [05:43] EpicCyndaquil try disabling enabled compiz mods one by one, see which one fixes your problem and look at its settings later [05:43] kkerwin, have you changed the permissions in samba for that user [05:43] Afteraffekt, Ok. I guess not. How can I do that? [05:44] Afteraffekt: well mine does :P [05:44] Afteraffekt: it seems to have a radeon 3000 [05:44] in administrator, go to samba settings and go to user [05:44] lorph: you may cause a POST error if you disable the onboard video. Systems MUST have a video BIOS to pass POST. Just set the video RAM as low as it will go [05:44] Squall5668: it was like this when I installed Ubuntu. I think it's a Unity thing [05:44] Afteraffekt, Mmm ... how can I do it via the CLI, please? [05:44] as far as compiz, its usually in rotate cube under rotate to cube wuth window [05:45] Afteraffekt, The server does not have an xserver. [05:45] kkerwin, im not sure honestly [05:45] EpicCyndaquil 11.04 is not supported here, goto #ubuntu+1 [05:45] check the site === Fishman12a is now known as FishFace [05:45] can someone help me w/ starting an application on casper login? [05:45] I asked there too, thought it was general though, my mistake [05:45] i'm trying to figure out is there something like /etc/skel for casper? [05:46] Afteraffekt, Quick question though. Why would a samba user local to the server be able to write to a share mounted over samba, while a remote client wouldn't be able to? Is it a problem with the client setup then? [05:46] kkerwin: because you have authenticated as the user on the system which has write access [05:46] kkerwin: try running: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER [05:47] kkerwin: when you connect you can use the password to authenticate [05:47] ActionParsnip, said it right [05:47] ActionParsnip, Am I running this on the server, or on the client? [05:47] server [05:47] kkerwin: on the server [05:47] ok [05:47] kkerwin: you can tell windows and linux clients to remember the credentials [05:47] thanks ActionParsnip you saved me a google search [05:47] AH, Squall5668, it was "Static Application Switcher" [05:47] Afteraffekt: i'm not bad with samba sharing. I do all mine in cli though [05:48] its easier really [05:48] Glad you found it [05:48] and much faster [05:48] Afteraffekt: very === canon is now known as Acid190 [05:48] im not even using ubuntu as my distro [05:48] ActionParsnip, That didn't work. [05:49] kkerwin: what is the output of: service smbd status ? [05:49] actually while we're on the samba topic, I've got a pretty bog-standard samba setup to share partitions over the local network - if you type \\\ into the location bar in windows it works, but the comp doesn't come up in the list in explorer. Is there a setting I'm missing in samba to make my machine 'discoverable' or whatever? [05:50] milamber, The server is not an ubuntu box. The service command was not found. The server is a pogoplug, which is an embedded linux. [05:50] setfacl -d -m mask:027 /mnt/Storage/ [05:51] that doesn't work :( [05:51] 007 works though [05:51] Macer: still looking for it? [05:51] Squall5668: yeah [05:51] using setfacl kind of works [05:51] i was able to change the acl mask to 007 [05:51] but i want that specific dir to be 027 [05:51] Might be an obvious question, but if I set up a Xen hypervisor on my laptop and install Ubuntu as a domain, what kind of problems will I run into? (performance loss/failure to suspend?) [05:51] but it won't let me use the 027 umask for some reason [05:53] ActionParsnip, Got anything for me? [05:54] bloopletech, Wish I could help. :-) [05:55] kkerwin: thats all I know. i always edit smb.conf and you can change who has what access there, dead handy for setting up new shares via ssh [05:55] kkerwin: np, really I sohuld be worrying about getting a gigabit router so I can copy files a lot faster [05:56] ActionParsnip, Mind if I pastebin my smb.conf for you? maybe it's a problem in there? [05:57] ActionParsnip, If you don't mind: http://pastebin.com/RdUjJx6N [05:59] hello [05:59] kkerwin could you state your problem again? [05:59] Squall5668, Sure. [05:59] Howdy. I'm looking for some help mounting a Samba share as read-write. Currently, I am only able to mount it as read-only. While logged into the Samba server, I am able to mount the share read-write. But on a remote client, I am able to mount as read-only. [06:01] kkerwin: does this link work: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Linux/smb.conf?touch=O3S8CQ%3D%3D&w=f828757d [06:01] kkerwin: all you need are the bottom sections. Notice how I have allowed users and such, I also specified it as writable as well as not read only [06:02] kkerwin: failing that: http://pastebin.com/QvFxbEiL [06:02] ActionParsnip, Ok. Let me try some of the things that you have here ... [06:03] hi, how can I downgrade compiz to maverick's vesion on Natty? thanks [06:04] aroman 1)natty is not supported here, goto #ubuntu+1 2) i recommend you don't do that since unity relies HEAVILY on compiz [06:05] Squall5668: yeah, but its also extremely buggy/freezy on my laptop (sandybridge, intel graphics) [06:05] and I guess I figured I'd try here since it's coming out in like a day :P [06:05] aroman: natty isn#'t supported here [06:05] aroman id recommend Ubuntu 10.10 then [06:05] on login screen use "ubuntu classic" aaaand im going offtopic [06:05] Afteraffekt: right, but I need natty's kernel [06:06] i got the livecd in virtualbox, xubuntu 11.04. it says other. i click there and it asks for username and then password. does anyone know what it is? thx! [06:06] I dont see why, but as mentioned, off topic here [06:06] unless someone here could tell me how to get natty's kernel and version of xorg running on Maverick [06:06] Afteraffekt: because of graphics, wifi, and sound driver :) [06:06] should do fine in 10.10 [06:07] i need the username password for ubuntu or xubuntu livecd [06:07] aronman: on login screen use "ubuntu classic" aaaand im going offtopic [06:07] i'm speaking from experience here [06:07] jimcake_ ubuntu livecd has no password [06:07] Afteraffekt: I know for a fact that my laptop's card isn't supported; it's like 2 months old [06:07] xubuntu livecd is asking for username password [06:07] There hasnt been a new graphics card in a while [06:08] jimcake_, just hit enter [06:08] xubuntu is at #xubuntu though :0 [06:09] aroman, if i can boot ubuntu 5.10 on my laptop, yours should work with 10.10 [06:10] Afteraffekt: of course it boots, but I don't have wifi or 3D drivers [06:10] then install them? [06:10] i'm not making this stuff up; I have both tried it personally and read the release notes for the .38 kernel. [06:10] my new laptop (got it a few hours ago) - has 3d drivers and wifi - np :D [06:11] So I've seen a few vids of MIDI to FDD music, but I just saw a vid that used 4 FDD. The only way that I know how to do that is with a win32 app. My question is: Is there someway to make MIDI to FDD on ubuntu? [06:12] ActionParsnip, Not working. Claims to have a bad network name. Here's my smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/D0tDjNx0 [06:12] I have an issue when someone get a min. thanks [06:12] ActionParsnip, More specifically, I can't even mount the share. [06:12] Acid190, Go ahead and ask your question. [06:13] Acid190, When someone is available, they will do their best to answer.

I have the same environment as you. [06:17] Acid190: question in one line [06:17] allorder: what? [06:17] hey is there any way to move the sidebar location in ubuntu 11.04? [06:18] Acid190: ask your question in one line [06:18] can you move the ubuntu 11.04 sidebar to the bottom [06:18] of the screen [06:18] alex__: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! [06:18] alex__ no idea really but ask in #ubuntu+1 [06:18] alex:#ubuntu+1 [06:19] k [06:26] hi folks! is anyone can teach me english? [06:26] diaoer: try ##english [06:26] ok,thank you rww [06:26] O_O [06:35] well.. setfacl works [06:35] :) it's awesome [06:35] and i used to hate acls [06:36] i'm curious if i can set an acl flag on an nfs in fstab [06:37] wat time is the release ? [06:37] UTC ? [06:37] dsathe: there is no set time [06:37] kk [06:37] hey can someone help me? I'm having trouble with audio on my ubuntu 10.10 install. I have an asus p7p55d e pro motherboard that uses a VIA audio chipset. any suggestions? [06:38] is there any way to make my persistent file size larger than 4gb on liveusb? [06:38] tehitguy: u need to probably install alsa/linux firmware and/or add module opts to modprobe [06:38] hey all [06:38] alex__: no [06:39] alex__: it's maxed at 4GB due to restrictions of the filesystem used on the liveusb [06:39] rww: i'm trying to make a bootable external hard drive. what should i do? [06:39] alex__: run the Ubuntu installer from somewhere else and install to the hard drive, maybe. I haven't tried it, but it might work. [06:39] where can i find a a list of current connections made, both in and out? [06:39] rww: i did that, but the hard drive doesnt boot [06:39] firewall [06:40] alex__: no idea, then [06:40] if u want a easy iface [06:40] alex__ try remastersys, i made my whole system a live usb :) [06:40] use firestarter gui in software center [06:40] squall5668: how much persistent file space? [06:41] can't say i checked [06:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:41] <3 fsck.ext4...saved all my music today from the evil ecryptfs-setup-swap [06:41] alex_ but if you can make your current system with w [06:41] alex_ but if you can make your current system with w\e packages you have, why would you need more? :) [06:42] try this should be your ans ttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:42] Anyone know if /etc/crypttab supports UUID/LABEL instead of /dev/sda# [06:42] squall5668: i have an 80gb hard drive and want to make the most of it [06:42] srry https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:43] is there any way to increase persistent file size on liveusb? [06:43] so who all is excited for the release? :) [06:43] :D [06:43] its god [06:43] tehitguy: i got the beta [06:43] finally stable [06:43] #ubuntu-release-party is ;P [06:43] tehitguy join #ubuntu-release-party :) [06:44] i m on it since past 3 months === DavidH is now known as David_HII [06:45] i'm glad they finally got the bugs worked out. i tried it on my laptop a couple of months ago, and it gave me some rude gestures :P [06:46] A friend of mine told me that unity is a shell that will be on top of gnome 3 instead of gnome shell is that right? [06:46] be on top of gnome2 [06:46] i think [06:46] no gnome 3 sorry :) [06:46] Blac_k_night: GNOME 2 for this release, but yes. [06:47] diaoer: what's the problem with gnome 3? [06:47] Blac_k_night: There wasn't enough time between GNOME 3 release and 11.04's release to QA all of the changes. [06:47] i looks not so Beautiful [06:48] i need some help in figuring out why sendmail is refusing connestions from 127.0.0.1 [06:48] Blac_k_night: it's slated to be in 11.10, apparently. [06:48] i think there still have many bugs in unity [06:49] diaoer: so do I. but we should move this to #ubuntu+1 :) [06:49] yeah :P [06:49] criticism goes around this gnome 3 thing [06:49] heh,yes [06:50] rww: I've read alot of people don't like it === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [06:51] hello [06:53] anyone alive [06:53] yes [06:53] i believe i am [06:53] yes [06:53] yDecision yea I'm with you [06:53] Decision: with you [06:54] Apr 27 00:41:15 humphryes sm-msp-queue[21469]: p3R5e2ZE021469: to=root, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31733, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] [06:54] Blac_k_night: so im looking to join the linux world [06:55] was gonna go ubuntu [06:57] hello?

[06:58] Decision: I've used many different distributions, and settled with Ubuntu for many reasons [06:58] spaek spanish [06:58] RavenHursT: you have a virtual server provider and are trying to set up an email server so you can retrieve email from the vps? [06:58] !spanish [06:58] 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. [06:58] !es | eloystebam [06:58] eloystebam: please see above [06:59] nastjuid: well i use linux technically ( ANdroid Addict) [06:59] nastjuid: so that I can send and recieve.. yes [06:59] nastjuid: so im just quite confused on how exactly to install it once i do the live cd [06:59] Decision: sorry, 1 sec, switching foreground/background black on white is killing my eyes [06:59] receive* [06:59] and how to install the wireles driver [06:59] ok better [07:00] nastjuid: i have a Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5151 Windows 7 laptop [07:00] Decision: the 10.x livecd I believe has an option to install, but you want to make sure the wifi card is supported right? [07:01] i mean i have the realtek wifi driver made for linux for my device [07:01] RavenHursT: I'm not very good at setting up mail servers. I would recommend searching google for something like 'ubuntu postfix' [07:01] nastjuid: I'm trying to get my cloudServer at rackspace up and running w/ email.. sending and receiving.. [07:01] i just have no idea what to do with it [07:01] nastjuid: ok [07:02] i thought i was suppose to just burn the iso to a cd with windows 7... i tried linux mint and it ran minus wifi because i didnt no how to install driver [07:02] by have the driver, do you mean you downloaded the archive from the manufacturer? [07:02] but i dont know how to safely install it and not mess up windows [07:02] how can i configure startup applications from the command line (ie set it up)? trying for automated installs [07:02] usually ubuntu does a pretty good job of probing for a driver trhat will work with your card, but if the manufacturer provides a driver, we can probably get it to work [07:03] does anyone know anything about bonding in the daily of 11.04? [07:03] i'm having some issues getting bonding setup w/ the old configs we had for 10.04+ [07:04] okay so i guess all i need to know is how to actually installl ubuntu to dualboot [07:04] envisean: For social bonding, #ubuntu-release-party, for other bonding, #ubuntu+1. [07:04] !dualboot [07:04] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [07:04] Decision: 90% of the time [07:04] milamber: thanks :) [07:04] Decision: follow that link. the installer is also pretty explanatory :) [07:05] Decision: if you have any trouble wtht he wifi driver specifically, head on back :) [07:05] dijonyummy: are you trying to install the same thing on several computing machines? [07:05] milamber: yeah, i have a script that installs stuff, and i want to add setting up the startup apps in gnome/unity to that script if possible [07:06] i just already have windows on the pc so i need to find out exactly how to partition the drive [07:06] i tried and could not get it [07:06] what are some good IDEs for ubuntu ? [07:06] dijonyummy: well, see !clone or google clonezilla. not sure what you are scripting in [07:06] !ide [07:06] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [07:07] are there any that could validate my html, css code ? === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:07] I am using gedit and vim curently [07:07] Decision: what version of windows do you have? [07:07] dr0id: Eclipse? :) [07:07] eclipse and netbeans are good ? [07:07] they are slow IMO [07:07] :( [07:07] and heavy/bulky shall I say [07:07] 7 [07:07] I have used netbeans before [07:08] yeah, but i want to use it for different installs, not the same machine but just the same apps, config for different ubuntu instances [07:08] dr0id: well, eclipse kinda is, but i would say that for netbeans really [07:08] dr0id: http://validator.w3.org/ [07:08] nastjuid: windows 7 [07:08] ok, I will get eclipse soon then, aftyer upgrading to 11.04 [07:08] milamber: I know about that, but I would like the IDE to do that to save time :) [07:08] I mean, mac has awesome IDEs/text editors :| [07:08] that really speed up dev ;) [07:09] dr0id: remember, stuff are faster on linux than windows :) [07:09] yeah , hehe :D [07:09] thanks, I will try Eclipse then [07:09] but before that I need 2gb extra ram and 11.04 I gues [07:09] Decision: awesome. So you can either shrink the drive in the disk management tool, or you can run the CD and I believe the partitioner in the installer can resize the ntfs partition as well. Last time I used it, I just shrank it in win7 and chose the auto-partition using free space in the installer [07:10] so that I can run my virtualbox properly without getting slow :/ [07:10] dr0id: i have VB ubuntu with 1gb ram atm, letme check startup time on eclipse [07:10] VB ubuntu ? :) [07:11] I have 9.10 wiuth 2gb ram and quad core [07:11] !gparted [07:11] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:11] virtualbox [07:11] and when I switch on virtual box things go pretty slow [07:11] aah [07:11] if the partitioner doesn't make sense to you to do that, I would go ahead and resize it in windows and choose the free space option in the ubuntu installer [07:11] I use virtual box for testing webpages in windows (IE) sometimes [07:11] * dr0id will try Ecplise then :) [07:11] where do i find the disk management tool and what is a good amount of space for my ubuntu?? [07:12] nastjuid: how much free space is adequate [07:12] start, control panel, administration tools, disk management i believe [07:12] Decision: depends on what you plan to do with it. how big is your drive? [07:12] Decision: It depends on how much storage you want for personal storage, but the system itself rests very comfortably within 8GiB and probably much less. [07:12] Decision, 15GB for / and as much as you want for /home should be sufficient. and swap if you want to use hibernation. [07:13] 285 gb [07:13] Decision, on my eee even 4GB for / + /home is possible :> [07:13] Is it possible to encrypt data drive in ubuntu and still make it so windows users can decrypt the data and access it via networkshares? [07:14] Decision: as you can see, there are many ways to partition after you have the space reserved [07:14] how much of your drive is free? [07:14] but only 208 gb left [07:14] wow so [07:14] do you think you'd want to install and play large games on your ubuntu installation? [07:14] tofufish: On the same machine, or a windows user accessing the machine over a network? [07:14] djr013: the latter [07:15] tofufish: I don't see any reason why not, really. [07:15] basically looking at encrypting my file server [07:15] My DVDROM is mounting in /media/ instead of /cdrom/ [07:15] how can I fix this? [07:15] stREaKer: i think you can fix it in /etc/fstab [07:15] how ? [07:15] tofufish: The OS would decrypt it before serving it, in almost any configuration. [07:16] I tried to edit it but could not [07:16] my device is dev/sr0 [07:16] looking at mine [07:16] do you have a line in there with /dev/sr0 ? [07:16] so i should shrink it about 50gb nastjuid ?? [07:16] djr013: oh true, do you recommend a method of encryption? [07:17] nastjuid: yes! [07:17] I actually don't have anything in there. I may be out of date and thinking fstab handles it. maybe dbus does these days [07:17] stREaKer: sweet! [07:17] nastjuid: I meant I dont have it there .. but my device ID is the same === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [07:18] tofufish: Well I'm not too familiar with all the options, but ecryptfs works well, and it's even an option for users' /home directories in the livecd these days, fwiw. [07:18] Decision: 50 should be pretty confortable. did you say if you were going to install windows games with wine? [07:18] stREaKer: so you don't have a line with /dev/sr0 in your /etc/fstab? [07:18] djr013: awesome thanks! [07:18] no only the hard disks [07:19] no i dont play pc games mostly all i want is dropbox skype and googlechrome... then ill monkey around a learn more [07:19] Decision: that will get you into a lt of trouble :P am facing the same [07:19] stREaKer: how so [07:20] skype and chrome work fine [07:20] Decision: I did add sources got updated to bad builds now have to revert back :P [07:20] Decision: 50G will be plenty. NTFS support is pretty good these days anyway, so you can even mount your windows partition for your music and such [07:20] nastjuid: so im kind of confused on what values to put in thie dropboxes [07:21] nastjuid: I got only hard disk indexes on fstab .. [07:21] Decision: You can always increase it later, if you leave space unpartitioned. (Or, just as well, shrink the partitions.) [07:21] hello! [07:22] windows 7 support partition resize [07:22] stREaKer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto [07:22] Squall5668: and linux does [07:22] i know, just saying so he won't be worried [07:22] GParted works very well for resizing NTFS. [07:22] XP used to be jumpy if you didn't chkdsk afterwards [07:22] nastjuid: im gonna send a screen shot to see if you know exactly what i need to change it to [07:22] stREaKer: actually. now that I think about it. when you insert a cdrom, does it not show up in the places menu? [07:22] djr013: only done it with command line... [07:23] Decision: ok [07:23] any idea can i have a slackware? [07:23] eckirchn_: I just love the UI I guess. :3 [07:24] eckirchn_: Moving partitions around never seemed so fun. ;) [07:24] any idea how can i have a slackware? [07:24] billy_: try #slackbuilds [07:25] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20068157/partitionig.PNG nastjuid [07:25] nastjuid: it shows up there [07:26] grr [07:26] anyone from the philippines? [07:27] my laptop really doesn't want ubuntu, it stops at syslinux without throwing any errors [07:27] stREaKer: so why were you trying to get it to mount somewhere else? [07:27] Hi, how do I add widgets to the unity top toolbar? [07:27] Logiar: What version? [07:27] nastjuid: cause synaptic is not recognizing it as a CDROM and am not able to source the installtion from the DVDs [07:27] 3.63 I think [07:28] Logiar: What version of Ubuntu, I mean. :P [07:28] stREaKer: oh, try removing /cdrom and making a symlink to /mnt/dir [07:28] 11.04 beta [07:28] !ph | billy_ [07:28] billy_: Join #ubuntu-ph for tagalog [07:28] stREaKer: i mean, i'm not sure how to change the mount point [07:28] nastjuid: how to do that i really am not expert [07:28] Logiar: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only.

[07:31] nastjuid: yes [07:31] ja660k: startx should do it [07:31] stREaKer: and it's mounting at /mnt/cdrom?

[08:38] hi. i would like to install ubuntu on pc with nvidia fx 5500. i found many posts about how to make it work after i have ubuntu installed, but i cant find info about how to install ubuntu on a pc with it. the installer gets stuck. is there a way i can overcome this problem? [08:39] delby, laptop? [08:39] desktop [08:41] delby, well... there are many ways to accomplish this, but it would be a good idea to determine what is causing the problem. [08:41] Hi everyone. Moving my /home folder to another HD seems to have caused a strange problem for me [08:42] luckybunny, how did you move it exactly? [08:42] its the nvidia card, when i put in an old card instead it goes ok. i think its because the drivers are proprietary. [08:42] delby, well...for the installation itself it uses the open drivers (afaik) [08:43] I can boot fine, but only by selecting recovery mode from the Grub menu and then selecting resume normal boot from the next menu (after it has booted) [08:43] i think that is the problem. i am trying to avoid installing with another card and then changing to the nvidia. [08:43] if I just sit back and let it boot on its own, the display goes black and the monitor goes into standby (no input) [08:44] luckybunny, check your logs for clues ... and please answer my question :) [08:44] is there a way to make the non-free drivers available to the installer? [08:44] these are the instructions I followed http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [08:45] delby, well... i guess you could use other drivers via kernel parameters ..hm [08:45] i instaled ubuntu at a friend and activated the nvidia graphic card and all an i still cant select the extra graphic conviguration in visual efects [08:45] can somebody tell me why? [08:45] I and a couple of friends have been poring over logs for a couple of hours now, and nothing seems amiss. Indeed, the actual /home move seems to have gone down without a hitch [08:45] all settings seem to be fine [08:46] have you restarted the computer ilea? [08:46] grrr [08:46] i don't get this [08:46] the best guess is that it's not mounting the new hard drive quick enough and something doesn't like that [08:46] delby, have you tried the alternative live cd [08:46] when moving files across an nfs i want to apply the destination acl to the files [08:46] and it doesn't seem to be picking it up [08:46] which would explain why it works in recovery.... recovery takes longer to need everything [08:47] luckybunny, /home is possibly the last thing that is mounted... no really necessary for booting [08:47] anybody know why? [08:47] !alternative | delby [08:47] delby: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [08:47] no. dont know what is. gonna check now... [08:47] been looking everywhere [08:47] ah [08:47] yes i restarted the computer and it still dosnt work [08:48] !minial [08:48] botcity: thanks. will give it a try after the release tomorrow. [08:49] !minimal [08:49] 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 [08:49] luckybunny, if there is really nothing useful in the logs... i would check the uuid-entries in fstab.. hm.. and maybe a filesystem-check? [08:49] rumpe1: thanks.

See: http://www.goodreader.net/gr-man-tr-wifi.html I can see my iPad in Network but I can't access it, I'm getting the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/599649/ [08:50] ilea: did you enable the visual/extra effects already? [08:51] Hi I'm wanting to do a dist upgrade from Studio 10.04 to 10.10 but the update manager is telling me it's going to remove 17 packages including ardour, jackd etc. Anyone know what's going on there? [08:51] Does ubuntu.com work for anyone else ? [08:51] ii, working for me [08:51] ii: yes [08:51] Ximmer: Does it say site offline? [08:52] No [08:52] Ximmer: studio isn't supported here. [08:52] izinucs, cool, I'm in #ubuntustudio now [08:52] morning all [08:52] ilea, No, but if there is more than one try installing a different one and see if that works. [08:52] Ximmer, well... if you do a dist-upgrade the packages are probably not compatible anymore to the next dist-version [08:53] I get a drupal error "The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding." [08:53] rumpe1, seems odd as ardour for example is a fairly core app for a Studio dist [08:53] ii: hmm worked first time now i got the same error [08:54] ii, saying ofline for me now too [08:54] Wiki seems to be working though. [08:54] Ximmer, doesn't matter... after the upgrade it should be available again. But Studio!=Ubuntu ;) [08:55] hrm, does anyone know the character encoding needed for chinese? [08:55] jussi, utf (e.g.) [09:02] is unity better than gnome shell? [09:02] try it [09:02] B_K_N: find out yourself [09:03] I see that kern facility messages appear in both syslog and kern.log? How can I make it so that they appear only in kern.log? [09:04] iceroot I think new apps are buggy [09:04] B_K_N: both are new === ross is now known as Guest98626 [09:05] iceroot what both I think they should stick with gnome 2 [09:05] rumpe1, thanks for your comments, I'll hang in #ubuntustudio for a while [09:05] B_K_N: unitiy and gnome-shell are new [09:05] iDope, at first sight i would guess via /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf [09:06] hello  [09:06] hi all [09:06] *Shameless plug* Tableft ~ my latest creation ~ can be found in the Chrome Webstore http://bit.ly/gXY3Qd Thoughts appreciated, and do remember it's still beta xD [09:06] B_K_N: but just try both, questions like "what is better" are almost useless because everyone has (luckily) different opinions [09:08] iceroot I've just read that gnome 3 is written totally different from gnome 2 [09:09] iceroot in code I mean [09:09] does the new ubuntu use gnome3? [09:09] DirtyDawg no unity shell over gnome 2 [09:10] rumpe1, beautiful.. thank you [09:10] ahh k thx [09:11] oh well [09:11] B_K_N, yes... and has still much more bugs than 2 [09:11] ta ta [09:11] I'd like to see a company like canonical give support to apps [09:12] rumpe1: and min max buttons are gone too [09:12] Any rsync gurus here? I have a hard-drive that's dancing with the fat lady, and I want to copy the entire filesystem to a USB disk as a backup. What would the command be to most accurately get a copy of everything? [09:13] milligan: dd instead of rsync [09:13] that'll copy the entire filesystem though? I was looking more to backup files, not the FS. [09:14] Got an irritating problem with my wifi. For about the last 24 hours, I've been able to connect but after about five minutes it starts dropping all packets until I disconnect and reconnect. Running a flood ping through the cycle gives (eventually) the repeating pattern "..E..............E...". Have tried reloading kernel module for the card and restarting network-mananger - neither helped. Ditto multiple reboots. Was thought to be RF interference, ... [09:14] milligan: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY be VERY CAREFULL with dd (if = input, of=output) [09:14] ... but changing channels (6->13) made no difference. [09:14] milligan: you said the entire filesystem [09:14] milligan: just for all files you rsync [09:15] iceroot not work for all systems [09:15] B_K_N: what? [09:16] iceroot I tried this command and give me nothing [09:16] iceroot several times [09:17] iceroot, my bad. I want the files, not the filesystem. [09:17] B_K_N: what command? [09:17] milligan: If the drive is on the blink, it may be safer to image it (using dd) and then do anything you need to with the files on the mounted image. Just a thought, ICBW. [09:17] milligan: all files? normally you only want /home and the rest will be a new installation [09:17] iceroot dd command [09:17] Any one tried it? [09:18] B_K_N: what command exactly you use? i guess you did something wrong [09:18] Darael, going to be copying everything to a USB harddrive though. Only half the physical disk is in use. A 250 GB harddrive, 100gigs used. Mirroring 150 GB of empty space on a failing disk is something I'd like to avoid :) [09:19] iceroot, normally, yes. I want a copy of as much as possible though. I'm replacing the failing disk etc, but I want a backup just in case. [09:19] iceroot: No I tried it several times and got nothing [09:19] milligan: have a look at clonezilla [09:19] B_K_N: again, what command exactly [09:19] clear [09:20] milligan: with rsync you have the problem with changing uids on the new system if you copy the whole system [09:20] dd if=input of=output [09:20] B_K_N: works fine [09:20] B_K_N: and bagain!!!!! what command EXACTLY [09:20] help [09:20] B_K_N: Works fine for me. Have you actually examined what you put for output? [09:21] Darael, its only just started to happen last 24hours you say? [09:21] quit [09:21] botcity: Going on 36 now, actually, I wrote that line last night. [09:21] alex_mic: You'll need to prefix the commands with a /. [09:21] iceroot : guys the command works fine [09:21] B_K_N: great [09:21] alex_mic: To clarify: With the / but not the . [09:21] tHANH YOU [09:22] iceroot : but boots nothing [09:22] THANK YOU [09:22] B_K_N: dding the bootsector also is a good idea [09:23] iceroot I did that for iso images [09:23] Darael, what have you done in the last 36 hours ? update or ? [09:23] B_K_N: i think we stop it here, i asked 3 times for the exact command [09:23] B_K_N, you also should add a blocksize (bs=5M e.g.) ... otherwise it will be veeeery slow [09:24] botcity: I did think of that, but I don't /think/ so. [09:24] good morning, i want to perform an apt-get upgrade, but exclude a package in the list, possible with a flag/option? :) [09:24] iceroot I don't want to bother you , thanks [09:24] Darael, did you check your logs ?

[09:51] Younder but I also need the sum of how much time was spent on every activities, even if you start stop do something else and then go back on that activity [09:51] sestobuntu, It is the equivalent of outlook [09:51] botcity: Note that it's from 09:42:17 that it was actually dropping packets. [09:52] jhf: i'm not sure i understand...are you implying that since i reverse engineered windows software and built a native version for linux that I shouldn't be upset about the lack of engagement from ubuntu devs? [09:52] sestobuntu, You want a project management system? [09:52] Rehan: Any software release includes lots of bugs fixed and lots of new ones created. That said, you are /likely/ to be absolutely fine. Suggest trying the live CD. [09:53] Youder, yes and a over lan shared one [09:53] econnell: my friend if you can't fix or answer on problem -- ..... then ..... . . . . . . [09:53] Younder i can't find anything like that on the software center... or maybe i don't know how to look for it [09:53] sestobuntu, http://trac.edgewall.org/ [09:53] jhf: tone it down please [09:54] Darael: with 10.10 on the liveCD it makes it seem as if my display wont work at all because of some nvidia driver issues, but when when i installed 10.10 and downloaded the nvidia driver from nvidias website, it worked fine. I guess I'm asking how reliable is the test drive with a liveCD? [09:54] thanks mom [09:54] Youder, I check the site, thank you anyway for the help! [09:55] hi guys [09:56] Rehan: There's occasionally problems that are only present on the live CD, but mostly it's pretty reliable. [09:56] Darael: thank you [09:56] Hello. Will the support for 10.04 LTS be extended to allow buisnesses that don't want to deploy Unity continue to use ubuntu? [09:56] how can y put all the info on my desktop . is that a program? that shows hard drive activity and clock and a network and a bunch of neat things :) linuz n00b [09:56] Darael, your firewall is interfering [09:57] Nyromith: there's still 2 years to go with 10.04, you need more than that? [09:57] Nyromith: I understand that there will be an option to use the GNOME desktop for that sort of reason. It may be a little obscure (just a hunch, that) but... [09:57] so outside of revu and bugs.deb.... where should I be pointing people? [09:58] Nyromith, support for 10.04: Desktop till 13.04, server till 15.04 [09:58] how do LTS versions work? Are the bug fixes that come in newer versions not included in the older LTS version? [09:58] Darael, ufw interferers and then no packets. [09:58] !ufw | Darael [09:58] Darael: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [09:58] Rehan: all bug fixes that can be applied to the LTS should be applied to it [09:59] Tm_T: whats that mean [09:59] i'm sure my userbase will be happy to absolutely inundate whatever forum is needed to get mangler into ubuntu [09:59] LTS is good because only bugs and security holes are fixed, but the software is not updated. Even not firefox. [09:59] hi [09:59] *upgraded [09:59] ubuntu.com is down [09:59] econnell: what is the issue you currently have, lets see if we can help [10:00] PDani: it's not [10:00] it says for me: Site off-line [10:00] PDani: it's in maintainence by the looks of it [10:00] ikonia: i have a software package that I've been trying to get into ubuntu repos since Dec 2009 [10:00] thanks for the answers. bye [10:00] got a problem: my MOTD never updates?? [10:00] Nyromith: ok so for example right now in 10.10 i have some hardware incompatibility with my laptop. Apparently this incompatibility is fixed in 11.04. If I was on an LTS version what would happen? Would I get the hardware fix or not? [10:00] econnell: ok - what have you done to get it into the repos [10:00] morning [10:01] sebrock: What should it update to? [10:01] i have problems with putting my HDD to sleep [10:01] Rehan: depends on how it is fixed [10:01] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/497854 [10:01] botcity: Really? But all the ufw messages are around 09:40:40, and it doesn't start dropping until 09:42:17 [10:01] Ubuntu bug 497854 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] mangler" [Wishlist,In progress] [10:01] WD does not work at all [10:01] http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7251 [10:01] others spin up every 5 minutes [10:01] Rehan: if it requires newer version of, let's say, Linux kernel, then propably no [10:01] econnell: ok - so you've logged a wishlist request, what else have you done ? [10:01] someone has a clue how to fix this? [10:02] Tm_T: oh ok [10:02] hdd spins up every 5 minutes [10:02] Rehan: but I would imagine there can be some PPA or other source for such fixes if really needed [10:02] filed in revu... fixed issues requested by MOTU maintainers... .jumped through every hoop requested.... [10:02] Freeeki: I don't have an answer, ut looked around for a long time as well to try and find one... [10:02] Tm_T: great, thanks [10:02] gotta restart, brb [10:02] econnell: ok - so you've built the package and submitted it to the motu process ? === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [10:02] http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?upid=7251 [10:03] econnell: try going to #debian-devel channel on irc.oftc.net and ask there? or the debial-devel mailing list? [10:03] damn... this is really annoying! [10:03] is conky best system monitor? [10:03] Corey: it ususally shows available packages, system load and stuff. But it never updates anymore. [10:03] drcasper, no, top :> [10:03] Freeeki, You need to set it. right click a empty display middle. [10:03] !best | drcasper [10:03] drcasper: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:03] sebrock: Didn't realize Ubuntu did that. Is there a cron job that handles it? [10:04] econnell: it's a license issue, that's the issue [10:04] Corey: yes I thinks so [10:04] Freeeki, change background [10:04] Younder: that does not work! [10:04] sebrock: Okay. Is that cron job still present on your system? :-) [10:04] what background? [10:04] Freeeki, That is the easiest way to gain access to those settings [10:04] ikonia: the license issue was resolved months ago.... [10:04] and it wasn't even an issue in the first place [10:04] maan .. everytime.. snarky [10:05] econnell: just reading through [10:05] i know.. i've read through it too... it's retarded [10:05] putting HDD to sleep with hdparm -y works tho [10:05] but -s does not work [10:05] only for wesrtern digital diska [10:05] drcasper: conky isn't the best, because there is no "best". It is, however, probably the potentially-best-looking. That, however, depends on how you configure it, and if you're new that may net be something you want to go through. [10:06] thank you [10:06] Freeeki, ok system > adjustments powersaving [10:06] and my hdds spin up every 5 mintues [10:06] I have a norwegian edition so I am translating [10:06] Younder: oh.. i am on shell only [10:07] anyone know how to delete gnome-panel entries in the gconf-editor? I have 5 instances of the global menu applet and its causing my panel to break, even though there's no global menu applet on my panel atm [10:07] the actual license distinction that is made in the last comment is also 100% ridiculous [10:08] econnell: why ? [10:08] econnell: it seems like reasonable requests, (I've just got to the bottom) [10:08] because GPL 2.0+ vs GPL 3 doesn't even matter [10:08] the affected source files contain the license and the license information is 100% valid [10:08] econnell: it does matter to call out the correct license, and it's a trivial change [10:08] Darael, sudo ufw reset to test will reset to the default ubuntu install but if you have it set you may want to note them etc [10:09] econnell: just make the changes and submit, it will get there [10:09] econnell: and on a side issue thank you for submitting, it will be a good tool to have [10:09] ack [10:09] my internet is down but i can still connect to freenode O_O [10:09] not sure what's going on [10:09] ChronicSyncope: essentials :3 [10:09] no... i will do no such thing... i will not work with ubuntu until i can get a confirmation that something will actually get done. [10:09] also googl [10:09] efreenode and google [10:09] but not reddit! ugh. [10:10] ChronicSyncope: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:10] botcity: Will try it. [10:10] econnell: guess there is nothing more to be done then, [10:10] not unless i can find someone that can actually do something, then no [10:10] Hai, Can someone direct me to a partitioning chat or something? [10:11] MeowPartition, just ask [10:11] econnell: no point discussing it further then as the revu process is the correct process [10:11] so 1 year later, no one has taken any action and this is the process...yeah... again.. i give up [10:11] ok [10:12] Well, im using EASEUS Partitioning software, but im kind of lost on what to do at this point. Can i use Join.me to show you, perhaps? [10:13] Hi there.

[10:17] my laptop is dualbooted with bt4r2 and w7, and im using grub legacy [10:18] sympt0m: ok - so this isn't an ubuntu issue [10:18] sympt0m, backtrack is not supported here [10:18] vincenzoml: There's an app called usb-modeswitch that might help with solving that http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/usb-modeswitch [10:18] its a grub issue [10:18] TanLizxxx: tcpdump? wireshark? [10:18] sympt0m: you may want to try #backtrack-linux [10:18] ... [10:18] #backtrack-linux sympt0m [10:18] yeah, but its not about bt [10:18] sympt0m, sure it is. #grub if you wish [10:18] sympt0m: it is [10:18] i cant get my grub to work. is there a grub channel? ive read all the help docs [10:18] sympt0m: it's not about ubuntu either - so try #backtrack-linux [10:18] ikonia: so i just checked the svn logs... that copyright change was made on jul/23/2010 to comply with revu [10:19] DJones: it's already installed, do you know how to troubleshoot the problem? [10:19] Darael, your card should not be giving that output to the messages any how .. err was that var/log/messages? [10:19] econnell: send a mail to the motu guys or ask in #ubuntu-motu for a status update [10:19] vincenzoml: Sorry I don't, I just knew about the app, its not something I've had to use [10:20] I don't know if this has been asked a billion times, but will the Ubuntu site be up any time soon?

[10:29] [deXter], nevermind, the fan on my powersupply has failed [10:29] Thrawn: It's not that simple. Why are you trying to find out where it was installed? Perhaps we can help you solve the actual problem :) [10:29] Corey: 1 watt that is [10:30] Freeeki: Power is included in my colocation. [10:30] 10A circuit in the rack.

[10:40] dsathe: ... [10:41] rgnr, to do this with nautilus, open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus" iirc [10:41] dsathe: how would i write the script is what im wondering and how would i invoke it from a command line. i understand how the url params work. [10:41] parse it as url to lynx [10:41] hmm [10:41] pindropper: "alias lynx-google='lynx http://www.google.com/#q=$1" [10:41] in a shell [10:41] step21: how do i do it [10:41] pindropper: Copy and paste that in the terminal. Try it. [10:41] say lynx 1 [10:42] step21, rgnr: Make that "gksu nautilus" - one should use gksu instead of sudo for GUI apps. [10:42] rgnr, alt-f2, "gksudo nautilus" ... [10:42] red2kic: thats awesome !!! thank you . thank you [10:42] pindropper: from livecd? [10:42] put in the phrase u are searching for [10:42] it will make the url [10:42] split the phrase by whitespace\ [10:42] red2kic, pindropper: IIRC that # needs to be a ?. [10:42] pindropper: I haven't tested it -- but you should get the idea. [10:42] join with '+' [10:42] Darael, yes, but I'm wasn't sure what it would do on the livecd ... [10:42] sound fixed [10:42] <_ryx_> Youtube displays "An error occurred, please try again later." [10:43] step21: Ah. Well, for future reference, gksu works just fine on the live-cd.

[10:43] k [10:43] rgnr: from livecd? i dont understand your question. [10:43] econnell: the problem with debian and ubuntu is that stuff is mass processed, and DFSG compliant, that's why they're picky about such stuff, and that's why stuff needs to keep getting resubmitted until all the problems are fixed... they're dealing with thousands of packages that all have to meet the same standards === hurbu is now known as hurbu_ [10:44] Darael: http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/faq.html#whentousewhich [10:45] pindropper: i mean can i run nautilus from livecd?

[11:14] is there any C programmer? [11:15] i have 2 install these on both machine [11:15] gaurav_help: giver allows you to drag-and-drop files, and the destination machine gets a prompt about it.

[11:48] kwtm: thanks for asking. i just figured it out. but i do have a related question. i simply created the function google(){ lynx url$1} and it works fine. But where does this function get stored? How do i find out what different functions I've defined. Can I store them in a text file rather than type them in the terminal?a [11:48] He may be askign about how to disable dark-windows compiz-effect [11:48] When i am reading something on the screen it goes black after a few minutes [11:48] tomtit, System -> Preferences -> Power Management [11:49] Hello [11:50] Can someone pls explain landscape to me. I have a server here which i want to cluster with 2 other machines elsewhere on the planet to enable high availability. What is the best solution for this? [11:50] pindropper: I will answer you. #bash would be a more relevant channel, although the atmosphere is not as friendly to newbies. Your function is stored in the local environment memory of the shell (bash) that runs when you open a terminal window. (Gnome Terminal or whatever program you're using.) If you open a new terminal, that function is no longer there. If you exit, that function is no longer there. [11:51] pindropper: To make that function stay, you have to define it every time you open a new terminal window. You can do that by putting that function into your ~/.bashrc file, which is run every time you open a new window. [11:51] stianhj: thanks again :) [11:51] pindropper: To find out what functions and aliases are already defined, use ... (wait, searching ...) [11:52] Got an irritating problem with my wifi.

Have tried reloading kernel module for the card and restarting network-mananger - neither helped. Ditto multiple reboots. Was thought to be RF interference, ... [11:52] pindropper: You know, I actually don't know how to list all the functions. Will ask in #bash now [11:52] ... but changing channels (6->13) made no difference. Neither did a UFW reset. === bonhoffer_ is now known as bonhoffer [11:53] kwtm: ah! that makes perfect sense. Thanks a lot for this. i will try #bash -- thanks for the warning about it. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:54] pindropper: Also, you have an error in your function. The $1 should be in double quotation marks. [11:54] pindropper: Thus: google() { lynx "url=$1" ; } [11:54] don't forget the semicolon before the closing brace [11:55] pindropper: Okay, I found out in bash that to list the functions, you say declare -f [11:55] I set up some custom keyboard shortcuts (using the keyboard shortcuts tool in 10.04). The shortcuts runs a little bash script, and they work. But I still get a "Error while trying to run , etc ...". Anyone know how to fix this? [11:56] kwtm: whoa! thats a lot of good help. :) thanks a lot. this info should keep me experimenting for a few days. [11:57] pindropper: Also, the lynx url= thing is just an example. I guess it should really be google() { lynx "http://www.google.com/search?q=$1" ; } [11:58] kwtm: yeah. thats the real function. thats how i implemented it too. i just typed it out real quick in the irc as pseudo func. [12:00] kwtm: i just ran declare -f and a bunch of functions turned up. so when you said that the funcs defined in terminal have terminal scope, the rest must be defined elsewhere. they arent defined in the bashrc you pointed me to earlier.

Bash can be complex if you start diving deeply into it. But you should have enough to define your function and work with things.

[12:18] Has anyone had any experience with this: The seveas repository provides Nx Client for Linux. Windows NoMachine ? [12:18] Curly_Q, that seems to be quite an old repo [12:18] Curly_Q: You experience with NX or with seveas? [12:19] That is what I was afraid of. [12:19] usr13: I am informed that the 8192 driver is the correct one for 8191 chipsets.

RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10) [12:22] they would be stored on the email server it fetches the mail from, you would have to download them locally or try to find a local saving solution/option within evolution [12:23] usr13: ping results as requested earlier (to router, including flood-ping and normal run in parallel - timescale is shortly after connection through failure and manual reconnection): http://paste.ubuntu.com/599737/ [12:23] I installed FreeNX but am very leary about X11vnc.

(But I recommend gtypist ... fyi). [13:01] i know ..i dont know wat to do now or how to solve this issue [13:01] mythri: Ok, well google earth could have done it. [13:01] histo: compat modules? Bad idea. Installed the package, now I no longer have a wlan0. The card's still there in lspci, but post-reboot nothing's claiming it. Attempting to modprobe rtl8192 (since there's still no 8191) gives a FATAL:no such module, and modprobing r8192se_pci (which is the module I used to use) now fails with an invalid argument.

[13:05] mythri: it gives a login screen? That is strange... nothing above F6 should be offering login screen. [13:05] ahha [13:06] mythri: you mean it has a X based GDM LOGIN? or just a 'login:' prompt like the console does.

[13:26] usr13, okay [13:26] mythri: and do this: [13:27] usr13, yes [13:27] mythri: sudo apt-get remove powermgmt-base [13:27] botcity yes, sleep does support milliseconds, but I'm trying to generate a random sleep millisecond [13:28] argh dont ask me how but i was removing panels from my bar at the top and then the whole thing deleted... how do get it back [13:28] mythri: Soon as it is finished do: sudo apt-get install powermgmt-base [13:28] usr13, it asks me if i want to continue [13:28] dd214, you could do something like sleep 0.$NUMBER that would do it [13:28] !resetpanels | macca [13:28] macca: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:29] usr13, after this operation, 987 kb disk space will be freed, do you want to continue< it asks me this [13:29] how do i update wine ? [13:29] or rather add it to the update repository [13:29] bazhang, how do i get into terminal with no bar [13:30] usr13, do i continue? [13:30] botcity ahhh concatenation [13:30] macca, alt f2 gnome-terminal iirc [13:30] usr13, it asks me y/n... should I continue or not...? [13:30] You could alternately do dpkg --reconfigure powermgmt-base But... I suppose you could just run without it. I don't think it is needed. not sure really. [13:30] y [13:31] usr13, ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot mythri: ureadahead ? === genger is now known as tyranos [13:32] is there a way to have seperate wallpapers on a dual monitor setup? also, is it possible to have taskbars on both yet be able to move apps back and forth? [13:32] bazhang, it says nosuchcommand gconftool [13:32] usr13, I did the second command for install [13:32] bazhang, oh wait missplet [13:33] bazhang, now done but the bar hasnt reappeared [13:33] I have Ubuntu 10.04 which I upgraded to 10.10 and then installed Unity on it using apt-get. Unity seems to be a bit messed up for me now (no icons on my desktop for example). Is there any way to restore Ubuntu to the original state, or to basically fix unity? [13:34] mythri: It says it is optional. You might just try and run without it. sudo service gdm restart [13:34] mythri: sudo service gdm restart [13:34] bazhang, back now... looks like patience was the answer [13:34] velcroshooz: The latter is easily achieved by adding a panel (right-click an existing one, new panel) then alt-click-and-dragging it to the second monitor and finally adding the appropriate applets. The former is doable, but requires not having desktop icons IIRC. [13:34] Hello [13:35] mythri: Oh, you did. Well try restartgin gdm anyway. [13:35] Darael, okay so in twinview for example you can just add panels to it? [13:35] mythri: sudo service gdm restart or /etc/init.d/gdm restart [13:35] usr13, restartgin gdm? [13:35] akashm1990: You should have the option at login time to use "Ubuntu Desktop" or similar - it's a selection box at the bottom, after choosing your user, and it'll be set to "Unity" ATM. [13:35] mythri: Yes restart gdm [13:35] macca, good news then [13:35] akashm1990: That'll get you your other desktop back, at least. [13:36] velcroshooz: I think so. Could be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure it works. === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [13:36] Darael, ok, I'll try that. Also do you know of how to fix unity? I kind of like it [13:36] mythri: Is this system fully updated? [13:36] usr13, errorname'unset" usr13, yes [13:37] Darael, ill give that a try - i dont mind not having desktop icons, do you know where i might look for instructions on the different wallpaper bit? [13:37] hi there [13:37] velcroshooz, using compiz? [13:37] akashm1990: No icons on the desktop is, IIRC, a deliberate design choice. As for other problems, I've not got enough Unity experience. [13:37] bazhang, yes i am, full effects in appearance [13:37] mythri: uninstall powermgmt-base and try again. Maybe it IS powermgmt that is causing the problem. [13:38] Darael, silly IMO.. Guess I'll uninstall it then [13:38] mythri: Or just reboot it.... [13:38] velcroshooz, there is , if I recall correctly, you may want to ask in #compiz about using the multiple wallpapers [13:38] how do i update wine ? [13:38] usr13, but i have so many documents inside [13:39] Bluebill-Wolf, using their own repos? or the ones in ubuntu repos [13:39] mythri: You could do a backup now. Put in a thumb drive and copy them over. [13:39] Bluebill-Wolf, #winehq for theirs [13:39] i ment to add it to the repository when the comptuer searches for updates [13:39] bazhang, okay thanks, i will look through ccsm first, i seem to remember something in there since you mentioned it [13:39] velcroshooz: Install compizconfig-settings-manager if you haven't already, and set it up in the wallpaper plugin. But first, go alt+f2, type "gconf-editor", and navigate to apps->nautilus->preferences. Uncheck "show desktop". [13:39] velcroshooz: That should allow the Compiz wallpaper plugin to actally do its job. [13:39] mythri: You don't backup your system? ... you have a thumb drive. Yes? [13:40] ciao [13:40] ./list [13:40] Darael, great, thanks for the info [13:40] !list [13:40] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:41] usr13, i have downloaded gnome-power-manager-2.30.1.tar.bz2 in my documents, I guess if i install through terminal, it would solve. Please help me how to install with command. [13:42] mythri: Why do you have gnome-power-manager in Documents? [13:42] mythri: When and why did you download it? [13:43] I downloaded it and placed the file through partition. I downloaded it after this problem occured as i thought if i would install this it would correct the errors. As it says 'gnome power manager not installed correctly' [13:43] how can i unpack a tar.gz with files from 1970? >implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 00:00:00 [13:44] mythri: Ok, no..., just delete it. [13:44] lilljocke: that just means that the time entry is zero. look up "unix epoch". [13:45] seriously loving acls.. all the things chmod and umask cant do.. its great [13:45] mythri: If you want to, backup your documents now. But I would just uninstall powermgmt-base and reboot and see if it works ok. (I wouldn't count on it though, I really don't think powermanagement is the issue in the first place - I think it has something to do with the Google Earth install that you did.) [13:45] Darael, i dont seem to have the wallpaper plugin by default - is this something i need to add? [13:45] never even knew they gave you this level of control === akashm1990 is now known as Guest45153 [13:46] velcroshooz: Hmm, just a sec [13:46] mythri: At any rate, the powermgmt-base is not essential. [13:46] usr13 oh ok [13:47] lilljocke: if tar is choking on those archives, you might try using pax to unpack them. [13:47] Hi there. I've been struggling with UMTS for three days. I tried both maverick and natty. The problem is always the same: when I insert the usb stick (ALCATEL x225s) after a minute or so I am asked for a pin, but then it does not connect. Under windows it works. Under the beta of maverick from an old usb stick, it works too. [13:47] nvm i found it [13:48] sipior: yes some files are emptry in the time entry but the problem is that i cant extract those files at all >Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [13:48] velcroshooz: Install the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package, it's in there. [13:48] will post the line shortly [13:48] lilljocke: it's likely that the archive itself is damaged. [13:48] Anyone able to tell me how to apply this patch? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lfaraone/ubuntu/maverick/pianobar/v29/annotate/head%3A/debian/patches/v29.patch [13:49] Never done it before [13:49] mythri: It may even work if you restart it now. I really don't know. But if you are concerned about your Documents/ go and get a thumb drive and back them up. It will only take a few min. [13:49] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [13:49] lilljocke: was the archive made recently? [13:49] sipior: i dont think so i have downloaded it from many differnt places and all is the same [13:50] QUESTION: I had once installed CDM and then removed it. Now when I am booting up, right after the text "Welcome to Ubuntu!" and right before I login, it outputs the error message "bash: cdm: command not found". How can I get rid of this please? _info regarding files to search for would be helpful too [13:50] Darael, thank you [13:50] cdm : console display manager [13:50] lilljocke: if you downloaded a copy of a broken archive, it will still be broken... [13:50] sipior: no its old [13:51] siema usunolem kosz jak go odzyskac [13:51] !pl | oski250 [13:51] oski250: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [13:52] elb0w: pull up a terminal, cd to the source folder in question, and run "patch < /path/to/patch/file" [13:52] usr13: mythri has logged off; presumably to reboot, etc. I have followed this since the beginning; thank you for your tireless assistence. I believe that removing power mgt. and rebooting will solve. [13:53] Sidewinder1: Yea, I suppose so, don't really know for sure, but that is what I would do, just remove it and see. [13:53] usr13: Whether it does or not, it "should' not affect his existing documents. [13:53] ciaoooo [13:54] ciao a tutti === forceflo1 is now known as forceflow [13:54] Sidewinder1: Yea. The powermgmt-base package is listed is not essential so... [13:54] Sidewinder1: Priority: optional [13:54] #ubuntu-it [13:55] usr13: When he gets back you may want to advise against, at least at this level, downloading and installing; Synap. solves a multitude of problems, as I'm sure that you're well aware. [13:56] Darael, Hunk #1 FAILED at 39. a bunch of times [13:56] Sidewinder1: Oh yea. I already told him my opinion on that. One thing that concerned me is that he installed google earth and did it outside the package manager. [13:56] usr13: I didn't chime in for two reasons: YOU seemed to be on the right track and I suck at command line. :-) [13:57] elb0w: Huh. Not sure then. Perhaps you've not got the version it's meant to patch from? [13:57] :/ [13:57] well this is lame [13:57] usr13: I avoid google-anything, like the plague. [13:57] elb0w: Cheer up, someone in here will know what they're on about (which I don't, really. Just enough to give that first hint). [13:57] i have wrong colours in video playback, how can i fix this? here is a screenshot http://bildr.no/image/872181.jpeg [13:58] Sidewinder1: One major problem with not using the package manager to install something is that you don't have a very good path for uninstalling if it causes some sort of problem on your system. [13:58] elb0w, there is a repo/ppa for google earth, why not use that? [13:58] +1 [13:58] Oh pandora changed their crypto keys === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [13:59] Sidewinder1: Ok tnx for your input. BTW, may have to leave in a little bit... so.... [13:59] hey all... I have a working setup with a horrible lvm2 config - what I have done is copy my system to a single disk, and modified the fstab to reflect the changes, although I can boot from this drive, I can't boot into it, when I try to edit the grub line it will reboot when I hit tab, and when I hit ctrl-x, it will take me back to a line like there is something wrong with it, any ideas? [14:00] so I am booting from the new disk, but ending up in my old system [14:00] nastjuid you around [14:00] and I have solved my problem, sorry for the hassle [14:01] usr13: No prob, unfortunately I need to attend to some other matters as well; not only that but if his problems are not solved and all he can do is CLI, I would probably do more harm than good. [14:01] i need help installing wireless driver... i have the linux version from my manufacturer [14:02] hi there, how can I get debug information for network-manager and UMTS? [14:02] Sidewinder1: That's ok, I'm sure someone else can pick it up... [14:02] i have wrong colours in video playback, how can i fix this? here is a screenshot http://bildr.no/image/872181.jpeg [14:02] usr13; Another suggestion would be to boot to Live CD and look around from there... [14:03] Sidewinder1: And besides that, I think I've given him enough info. He can probably work through it and may already have by now. [14:03] Sidewinder1: Yea, good idea. [14:03] haha, nice, release party irc room [14:03] usr13: But I don't know where all of the config files are stored and how they should read. :-( [14:03] ok simpler question: is there anyone who connects to the internet trough an UMTS usb stick? Is it supposed to be stable in either maverick or natty? [14:04] It seems to me that the problem is some signal strenght problem, but... just in linux? [14:04] usr13: Only thing I could do is check mine but I;m running 10.04. [14:04] Sidewinder1: Well, since we no longer use xorg.conf it's a little different. But, if the live CD generates xorg.conf you USED to be able to just cp it over. [14:05] Sidewinder1: I'm on 10.04 too. [14:06] any idea [14:06] usr13: Well, I gotta make a call so I'll be away for a bit; but I'll be watching; best of luck! [14:06] hmm [14:06] Sidewinder1: ttyl [14:07] Back at 'ya [14:07] no one knows how to get a log from network-manager? [14:08] does a USB3.0 add-on card need a power connector to function properly? [14:08] vincenzoml: What do you need? [14:08] usr13: I need to see if there is an error when I try to connecto to UMTS, so that I can google the error === Linux|Inside is now known as MarconM [14:09] vincenzoml: I'm sorry, what is UMTS? [14:09] and another small issue if i double touch the trackpad or it thinks i do the mouse flies all over the place [14:09] vincenzoml: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System? [14:10] usr13: it's something with a SIM card in it that I use to connect to the internet :) I believe it's also called HSDPA or something similar [14:10] usr13: in network-manager it's called in italian something like "broad band mobile connection" [14:10] vincenzoml: And so it's not connecting? [14:11] usr13: anyway it accepts all necessary settings but it does not connect [14:11] usr13: it just times out [14:11] vincenzoml: Are you receiving IP address? [14:11] usr13: it works on another laptop with natty, and it works in windows on the same laptop [14:11] vincenzoml: what does ifconfig say/ [14:11] ? [14:12] vincenzoml: What does route -n say? === chou is now known as Guest88875 [14:12] ah, I did now "tail -f /var/log/*" and I am seeing nm-info, it says "GSM connection failed (32) Sending command failed: 'resource temporarily unavailable" [14:13] ugh what number for chmod is: -rw-r--r-- ? :) [14:13] usr13: it does not get to activate the card at all [14:13] jnlsnl_, 644 [14:13] Sweeet TY :)) [14:13] <3 === Petr is now known as Guest35440 [14:14] jnlsnl_: do you know binary? just think: (110) (100) (100) [14:14] hi. how would i go about preventing the automatic login into wifi from requiring a keychain password? :) [14:14] vincenzoml: Oh. Do you have usb-modeswitch installed? [14:15] smbtree: http://pastebin.com/Eu0mmtef #samba is sleeping [14:15] vincenzoml: sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch [14:15] usr13: yes, actually I tried maverick first and then natty, in maverick I had plenty of files in /etc/usb-modeswitch.d, now they are gone, but the problem persisted in both distros [14:15] usr13, sipior how do i install a tar.gz driver its a realtek wireless driver buil for linux [14:15] sipior nope, but will need to check up on that ! [14:15] I apologise for having natty now, but I can't revert again, there's no time. [14:15] usr13: usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data are installed by default [14:16] usr13: anyway in my lsusb the card shows as a modem, does that confirm that usb-modeswitch is doing its job? [14:16] Hi 2gether [14:16] do I need to compile ffmpeg to get x264 working? [14:16] vincenzoml: Not necessarily [14:17] Decision, it not in the repositories ? [14:17] i installed a theme but it wont show up; and i cant reinstall it; i get this error: "cant move directory over directory" [14:17] vincenzoml: you are on 10.04? [14:17] usr13: so I have that package installed :) I see that now in natty the data is packed in a tgz [14:17] usr13: no I am on 11.04 now [14:17] not sure where to look botcity im new to this [14:18] vincenzoml: Oh, and it's when upgrading to 11.04 that you lost it... right? [14:18] usr13: absolutely not, it was the same in maverick, and I had seen it working in my first natty install [14:18] usr13: I reinstalled many times :) [14:18] usr13: it was the same in maverick, but it was NOT the same in a old maverick beta iso that I had booted from usb [14:19] bump :( [14:19] usr13: in that beta, I've seen the card working sometimes [14:20] i installed a theme but it wont show up; and i cant reinstall it; i get this error: "cant move directory over directory" [14:20] !repeat > Thrawn [14:20] Thrawn, please see my private message [14:21] Sidewinder1, any idea? [14:21] hi all...I have installed openjdk 6 using apt and also tested the standalone version of sun java but get errors when doing 'java -version'...oddly the errors are intermittent, every several times or so I run the command, anyone have any thoughts? [14:21] vincenzoml: sudo apt-get upgrade [14:21] grub2 dont shows mdX [14:22] usr13: I see in the logs that both an scsi disk and a usb gsm modem are detected when I connect the usb stick [14:22] maybe that's a bug? [14:22] Decision, lspci -v | grep -A 7 -i wireless gives you your wireless device [14:22] is 11.04 released at midnight tonight or sometime tomorrow? [14:22] vincenzoml: Maybe it IS a bug.... and just too soon to tell. I don't see a bug report right now tho... just looking... [14:23] Decision: The knowlege I don't have regarding wireless would fill a library; sorry :-( [14:23] usr13: I found some, for maverick, but they're incomplete and have not been looked at [14:23] i have the driver just dont know how to install it [14:24] usr13: no upgrades :) [14:24] sidewalk, do you have knowledge on installing drivers i have a .tar.gx driver for it [14:25] i'm facing a bug where remote users aren't shown on gdm list at boot (local users are), unless i log in tty and kill gdm-simple-greeter, or unless i log in gdm and then log out. Any idea where this comes from or how to solve it? [14:25] Decision: I guess you've already tried: Administration--> Hardware Drivers? [14:25] any ideas why my ubuntu (desktop) acting as a "server" is taking a while to respond when it has to verify my password with sudo ()when the sudo 5min timeout is reached)? [14:25] usr13: in the logs I first see "Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB3", then after some time "ppd timed out or didn't initialise our dbus module", terminating on signal 15, etc. etc. [14:26] vincenzoml: sudo does a hostname lookup. This can hang if /etc/hosts is incorrect or DNS is slow. [14:26] dajhorn: it's not me :) [14:26] vincenzoml: Ooops. :P [14:26] airtonix: sudo does a hostname lookup. This can hang if /etc/hosts is incorrect or DNS is slow. [14:26] dajhorn: bind9 dns isn't slow here [14:27] dajhorn: ah you mean it does a arpa rev resolution ? [14:27] Sidewinder1, yes no luck.... now i just downloaded the linux driver from the realotek site [14:27] vincenzoml: Well that must be because it has no login info. There should be a place for configuration... to tell it what ppp0 info to use. [14:27] airtonix: No, that is probably not a problem. Check the /var/log/auth.log file for sudo messages too. [14:27] hmm, it's in network-manager configuration [14:27] usr13: it's in network-manager conf. [14:28] Decision: You may wish to check their support area for instructions; if you haven't already. [14:28] vincenzoml: Oh yea.... well somehow it's not passing the info or it is incorrect... not sure. [14:28] dajhorn: any idea how i force a sudo time out apart from opening a new tty ? [14:28] airtonix: sudo -k [14:28] vincenzoml: I wonder if wicd would work? [14:29] airtonix: No, I don't. [14:29] vincenzoml: I suppose you could try it and see, but... well I doubt it. [14:30] vincenzoml: I guess it is worth a try. [14:30] hello world [14:30] Decision: tar.gz files should be handled by Archive Manager; however, from there, I don't know where ubuntu will look for them in order to install. Perhaps some one else cna advisr. That may do it. [14:30] usr13: disconnecting to try the pen on *this* laptop [14:30] can [14:30] ola [14:30] Hi.. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 .. Will upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 affect any of my installed apps ? I have ruby,rails etc etc installed and i don't want all of that to get affected..

[14:32] dajhorn: 60sec regarddless of command [14:32] The body should still be there so it should be recoverable... [14:32] airtonix: Do you have a custom PAM configuration? eg: Is the computer a domain member? [14:32] have you try whith an hex editor ? [14:32] or more simple: how do I add a eof entry to a file? [14:32] Decision, [14:32] Regarding tar.gz packages, nearly 99.99% packages come with an instructions file named Install or Readme. Search the extracted contents. [14:33] how many hours untill natty releases?? [14:33] mav_: no, also I do not have a hex editor at my university [14:33] can't wait [14:33] ola [14:33] alguien me ayuda [14:33] dajhorn: it's not a domain member yet*, and I'm fairly certain it's just using default pam... although this is on my "server" so i could have forgotten [14:33] on Intel® Core™ i5-460M 64 bit processor machine, to install 32cbit ubuntu, is it ok? [14:33] need your advice [14:33] pyQ: sure, if you want. [14:33] pyQ: why not simply install a 64-bit system? [14:33] and you haven't access to internet for download one ? [14:34] which version I should install? [14:34] g0th: How was the file generated? [14:34] mav_: the problem is the following, we have a scanner at the university that allows you to scan paper and send them as pdf. apperently it doesnt create xref/trailer/eof (or at least one of them is missing), so the linux programs fail to open the pdf [14:34] airtonix: Your timeout could be happening in the PAM stack. Look at the /etc/pam.d/sudo file. [14:34] which version I should install? [14:34] usr13: see my comment above [14:34] Ubuntu 10.10 Latest version [14:34] Ubuntu 10.10 Latest version [14:34] Ubuntu 10.10 Latest version [14:34] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS version or latest 10.10 [14:35] pyQ: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:35] I do not have the permission to install additional packages but if there is a script that modifies my pdf file such that it can be opened that would be nice :) [14:35] g0th: That still doesn't tell me what application created the file. [14:35] pyQ: it makes no real difference. [14:35] yes it doesnt [14:35] usr13: this will be practically impossible to find out [14:35] dajhorn: http://dpaste.com/536324/ [14:35] usr13: since it is the software in the scanner [14:35] maybe the header helps [14:35] yes that's it [14:35] sorry didn't mean flooding [14:36] g0th: I doubt it is software in the scanner, it is on the PC [14:36] ga_pro1988: e cu [14:36] just happen send 3 msgs [14:36] it is software in the scanner [14:36] ihave you try with another pc ? [14:36] g0th: Are you sure? [14:36] yes [14:36] usr13: back, it works in another laptop with natty [14:36] airtonix: Check whether the common-auth and common-account files have changed. [14:36] sipior> pyQ: it makes no real difference. [14:36] usr13: it is a big scanner/copier that also allows sending pdf [14:37] pyQ: are you attempting to create a feedback loop? [14:37] why: can I upgrade to latest version from 10.04 or 10.10 [14:37] right [14:37] usr13: it works after I removed the following modules: usbserial, usb_wwan, option [14:37] pyQ, yes [14:37] have you try with another pc ? [14:37] vincenzoml: hummmm.... well see what is in /etc/usb-modeswitch.d [14:37] usr13: I then inserted the card, the modules got autoloaded, and everything worked. Now, what should I do? [14:37] /Creator (Xerox WorkCentre 7345) [14:37] I see [14:37] thanks [14:37] mav_: it works with an apple computer [14:37] Decision, compiling from tar should be your last resort. [14:37] dajhorn: not sure how to tell if they have changed but : http://dpaste.com/536326/ [14:37] vincenzoml: I dono.... [14:37] ok [14:37] mav_: at least for one file, for another it also seems to fail there [14:38] I also tried on another linux computer there it also fails [14:38] usr13: and how fast it is now! [14:38] what I am looking for is a pdf recovery tool kind of [14:38] g0th: Can you send me one of the files? [14:38] yes [14:38] it seems that the matter comes from the scanner... [14:39] g0th: see my pm [14:39] Scanner is: /Creator (Xerox WorkCentre 7345) [14:39] airtonix: These are different than mine. http://paste.ubuntu.com/599781/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/599782/ [14:39] g0th: Could you scan into a different format and then convert to pdf.? [14:39] usr13: now googling for "rmmod usbserial umts" and finding *interesting* stuff related to usb-modeswitch [14:39] oh sorry [14:39] I sent it to mav_ [14:39] airtonix: The pam_ldap call in your configuration can send the system into timeout. [14:39] lol [14:40] g0th: Send it to my email [14:41] airtonix: You have pam_smbpass in there too. This is certainly not a default configuration. [14:41] Can someone help me to build a ppa? I have a broken ubuntu package and a working debian package, but i don't know where to put the files... Is there a, very easy to understand, tutorial? [14:41] done [14:41] dajhorn: common-session ? [14:42] dajhorn: i think you pasted common-session when you mean to paste common-account [14:42] aber, to fix a broken package > sudo apt-get install -f === cryptk is now known as cryptk|offline [14:42] airtonix: Right. Here is my common-account: http://paste.ubuntu.com/599784/ [14:43] dajhorn: thanks [14:43] airtonix: Welcome. [14:43] I just tried to update my server and dpkg is complaining about initramfs. Is it safe to set initramfs to not update to fix that? [14:43] dajhorn: maybe i installed libpam-ldap or something at one point ? [14:43] dajhorn: because i don't remember making complicated changes such as these [14:43] blueintegral: No. Ignoring update-initramfs errors is unsafe. [14:44] usr13: it appears that the end "header" of the file is completely missing [14:44] OerHeks: There is package for a different version and i would like to provide a newer package using a launchpad ppa... [14:44] airtonix: Maybe. The extra stuff in the PAM configuration can cause the sudo timeouts. [14:44] usr13: any idea? I'm seeing things that are beyond of my understanding [14:44] dajhorn: especially when there is no valid ldap server or ldap-pam configuration [14:45] How to set vncpasswd in ubuntu? [14:45] usr13: did you get it? [14:45] Ummm [14:45] i used sudo -s to change to root... how do i change back :D [14:45] usr13: maybe something like echo %EOF >> file.pdf works? [14:45] echo "%EOF" [14:45] no idea [14:45] jnlsnl_: "exit" [14:46] type exit [14:46] %% [14:46] that simple :-) [14:46] another Q [14:46] why 64 bit unbuntu end with name AMD [14:47] pyQ: an historical artefact, of sorts. [14:47] pyQ: because the architecture is called amd64, it has nothing to do with amd-only [14:47] dajhorn: so how screwed am I? http://paste.ubuntu.com/599790/ [14:47] for intel 64 bit cpu, 32bit 64 bit ubuntu, which is best choice? [14:47] dajhorn: simplier : as per comments : sudo pam-auth-update [14:47] pyQ: depending on your ramsize [14:47] 4G ram [14:48] pyQ: then you have to use the amd64 version [14:48] dajhorn: since commenting out stuff to relfect yours simply resulted in my valid password being rejected (since old auth modules were still in place) [14:48] dajhorn: thanks for the pointers [14:48] CPU : intel Core i5-460 M [14:48] airtonix: Welcome. [14:48] How do you use UPnP to open a port on ubuntu (no i dont want a static rule) ? [14:48] iceroor: have to use [14:49] iceroot: have to use ? [14:49] g0th: Maybe there is a firmware upgrade for that scanner that will fix it? [14:49] blueintegral: It looks like the udev package is missing. Don't reboot the server until you fix this problem. [14:49] blueintegral, was that from livecd? [14:49] usr13: I cant install it and I already informed the informatic support group [14:49] usr13: but I dont think that there is one available [14:50] usr13: I made some progress btw [14:50] !info linux-igd | Anasule [14:50] Anasule: linux-igd (source: linux-igd): Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0+cvs20070630-3 (maverick), package size 35 kB, installed size 204 kB [14:50] blueintegral: What versions of Ubuntu are you upgrading from and to? [14:50] I took the end of another pdf file and appended it to my file, now the error message is different [14:50] but still an error message ^^ [14:50] Anasule: just a guess after searching "apt-cache search upnp" [14:51] dajorn: I'm going from 8.04 to 8.10 [14:51] so, I'm about to call the father-in-law ... he said one of the kids was messing around and 'removed the bar at the top' .. any idea offhand what a kid could do, to do that? [14:51] g0th: your scanning multipages with the result of a bad pdf? [14:51] airtonix: its a start thanks [14:51] is there any way to stream my xbmc collection to my firend over the internet? [14:51] Tac, it's not that hard, any kid can do it [14:52] thanks byr [14:52] ZenGuy, you could use things like Orb I guess? [14:52] stianhj: orb is for windows [14:52] izinucs: yes [14:52] Tac, right click, "remove this panel" is likely what happened [14:52] Tac: Simply right click on bar and click remove... [14:52] can someone access upnp resources over a vpn? [14:52] izinucs: the scanner doesnt add the end headers [14:52] it ends with binary stuff [14:53] g0th: are you using simple scan or xsane? and what kind of printer/scanner combo? [14:53] Tac: Now, you're gonna wanna know how to get it back... === van7hu is now known as van7hu|silence [14:53] ZenGuy, that's why I added 'things like' [14:53] so, all: I narrowed my problem. I have this usb modem. What I need to make it work is to first "rmmod option" and then insert the usb stick. How can I do something like that when I insert the usb stick itself? Seems difficult but that will make the difference for the user, who just switched from windows. [14:54] Sidewinder1, yeah, and then I have to explain it over the phone :-p ... I was hoping you guys might have a good way for me to explain that to an elderly guy on the phone :-p [14:54] g0th: I just tried to open it on my MS Windows machine with Adobe 9.2 and it will says it is "damaged and can not be repaired". [14:54] izinucs: I use a hardware scanner, no way to modify that [14:54] usr13: well it can be repaired [14:54] g0th: How? [14:54] but I get something similar [14:54] sidewalk, so anythoughts would be awesome [14:54] the data is all there [14:54] Tac: I'd have to research; if no one knows, off the top of their head, I'll try :-) [14:54] just the tables and eof are missing [14:55] but they are not really needed [14:55] googling for "option kernel module" is hard... [14:55] So, I've got this old laptop I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook on, and I'm having trouble - nothing appears to work! Installer crashes after the language selection screen, and booting it live is just a cycle of loading and failure until I power it off [14:55] g0th: are they openable at all? [14:55] what do you mean izi? [14:55] vincenzoml: take a look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* [14:55] g0th: I think the firmware on that maching needs an upgrade. [14:55] I agree ^^ [14:55] ZenGuy, Jinzora maybe? === cMad is now known as Guest5739 [14:55] PhYoshi, how old exactly? [14:55] but it is old [14:55] probably not maintained anymore [14:55] starting to think that perhaps it's just too old, but seeing as I'm about 300mb away from this month's bandwidth cap, I'm willing to try [14:55] g0th: does the scanning process create a pdf and is the pdf open-able? [14:55] ZenGuy, http://alternativeto.net/software/orb/?platform=linux [14:55] jatt: if I blacklist the module then it would not be inserted even when I insert the usb stick, right? [14:55] PhYoshi, and what version of ubuntu? [14:55] it creates a pdf and I cannot open it so far [14:56] stianhj: I haven't used jinzora in about 2-3 years but does it do video now? [14:56] step21: Quite old, it has a celeron and 256mb of RAM, and trying with 10.10 netbook [14:56] I mean i can but not with a pdf program [14:56] g0th: what are you opening it with? [14:56] a hex/text editor [14:56] ZenGuy, It says so in the description on alternativeto.net, probably just an webinterface for some VLC stuff maybe? [14:56] to admire the binary data [14:56] Tac, how to get the panel ack should also be on google ... [14:57] stianhj: alright i'll give that a try then, thanks [14:57] load it manually then [14:57] I am looking for a program to repair the tables/eof [14:57] resp. recreate them [14:57] PhYoshi, it can work, but I'm not sure it will be usable for you, as all netbooks have more power ... [14:57] which should be possible [14:57] yeah, found some stuff googling ...... all looks way to difficult to tell an old man over the phone :( .. I'm gonna have to go there I think [14:57] I already had partial success [14:57] g0th: Error: Cannot find a %%EOF marker anywhere in the file. [14:57] g0th: there's lots of pdf tools that run in terminal.. I can't remember the name of the one I was reading about the other day but it will fix corrupt/malformed pdf files.. and it's in the repos.. something that might be part of the pdftk package perhaps. [14:57] Tac: Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472333&highlight=Restoring+top+panel Not simple, Just keep the bloody kids away! :-) [14:58] I want to have an alias in terminal but for any instance of something.. specifically I want "dpub" to be replaced with "/home/jon/Dropbox/Public" anytime I enter it in a terminal command. What is the easiest way to do this? [14:58] usr13: yes the whole end header is missing [14:58] PhYoshi, do you know if old linux versions ran on it? otherwise it could just be weird hardware that never got suppoerted [14:58] usr13: the file ends with binary data [14:58] btw i've been wondering . . . is Wine open sourse? [14:58] on a laptop. wanna use monitor. screen not in list [14:58] step21: Not a clue, I'm afraid, I don't really know what's inside of it either [14:58] Jon--: create a variable called dpub and then use $dpub where you want [14:58] Bluebill-Wolf: pretty sure it is, yeah [14:59] jrib, the $ is awkward to type, there isn't a way to do this with Bash otherwise? [14:59] PhYoshi, you could try running knoppix or a minimal cd for now just to see if it can be useful at all and to check hardware etc [14:59] The idea is to be fast and efficient [14:59] * Bluebill-Wolf nods hmm whats the best method to mount an os in the Virtualbox oem? [14:59] ose* [14:59] Jon--: not that I know of [15:00] Bluebill-Wolf: You mean one that actually exists on your hard drvie? [15:00] Jon--: I guess you could create a symlink at /dpub to whatever you want... [15:00] step21: that sounds like a good plan, but I've been somewhat overdownloading this month and pretty much don't have the bandwidth to spare, so was sort of hoping I could kick this into some sort of working order, even if it's purely terminal based for now [15:00] yes i have the iso file of the os i want but am unable to have it run properly [15:01] izinucs: pdftk also seems to fail [15:01] !resetpanels | Sidewinder1 Tac [15:01] Sidewinder1 Tac: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:01] Thanx, tj [15:01] jrib, the idea is it being path independent so I can just do cd dpub or mv x dpub [15:01] I see what you mean though, use a slash and link ;) [15:01] Jon--: yes, so you can just do cd /dpub or mv x /dpub [15:02] mhm [15:02] I might do it that way [15:02] PhYoshi, I always forget there are ppl with bandwidth limits ... what disk/version did you boot from? [15:03] step21: Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 [15:03] g0th: how did you structure the command? [15:06] ,11.04 [15:06] !11.04 [15:06] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [15:08] PhYoshi, can't you choose low-graphics or text mode on boot? or rescue mode or whatever it's called [15:08] PhYoshi, otherwise, my best guess would be that you ram is just too low. especially for live. [15:08] anyone know of a way to disguise your torrent traffic as HTTP in ubuntu.. something simple perhaps? [15:08] step21: I'm not sure, there's no 'Safe Graphics Mode' under modes, and I'm not familliar enough with ubuntu to mess with the boot line itself [15:09] PhYoshi, there should be a safe mode in your grub2 loader? [15:09] hmmf. I can't find a way to make this card work. This is definitely a bug I need to work around. I have no more time, I tried very hard. Anyone knows how to make the option module reload when I insert a certain usb modem? I've been fiddling with udev rules with no luck. [15:09] PhYoshi, like the second option [15:10] LAcan: I'm trying to get the installer to run at all, unfortunately - no grub2 here [15:10] vincenzoml, i can give you newb advice: plug it in and choose system/additional drivers [15:10] PhYoshi, is it a sony? [15:11] LAcan: totally unrelated :) I don't have and don't need proprietary drivers it seems from that window. [15:11] LAcan: samsung [15:11] PhYoshi, are you able to boot from the live CD? [15:11] LAcan: nope, but whether that's due to insufficient RAM or a more serious issue I don't know [15:12] LAcan: it lets me try, but everything spends more time crashing and restarting than doing anything of use [15:12] PhYoshi, mmmh. do you know what the boot line (for the installer) was? I don't have it here ... [15:12] step21: I have the laptop in front of me, so one moment [15:12] PhYoshi, what is the hardare? like how much ram and drive space? [15:13] When I am in the command line, is it possible to have my "*:~$" line or name show as a certain color so I can easily locate the line I initiated a command? [15:13] elijah: yes, google "bash color prompt" [15:13] step21: I can see 'eed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash--', not sure if that's scrolled one way or the other [15:13] LAcan: 256mb RAM, not a clue about drive space but shouldn't be an issue for a live system, and a 2GHz celeron [15:14] Good morning Ubuntu channel [15:14] PhYoshi, i suggest lubuntu [15:14] I have a few questions [15:14] Could you guys tell me how can I know what to install or not from the Update Manager [15:14] Hello. I need a suggestion about installing of ubuntu on AMD Zacate mobo. It claims that there is no suitable kernel found [15:15] Alterno, install everything, unless you need old build libraries specifically [15:15] Ok [15:15] LAcan: Is that likely to work given that the /installer/ crashes? Will it not use the same basic structure up until there? [15:15] Will I be able to install the final 11.04 version from the update manager? [15:15] PhYoshi, try it, its a 640MB download, shouldnt take very long [15:15] Alterno, you can see why things are offered but you should generally install everything the only exception is if it is to fix a bug you aren't experiencing [15:15] PhYoshi, lubuntu is amazing on old hardware [15:16] Alterno, yes [15:16] Thanks for the information, God bless [15:16] bah, this is the 3rd or 4th time that my session has just crashed, but this time i was near my computer. one moment the screensaver was activating, and when i passed it again, it was at the login screen [15:16] LAcan: Well, I'm a hair off my bandwidth cap this month, so unfortunately doing it just to check is a bit much :P [15:16] what time will Ubuntu 11.04 be released ? I'm burning to download it. :x [15:16] thien: Natty is not yet released and there is no predetermined time when it will be. Await the release in #ubuntu-release-party or for more questions join #ubuntu+1 [15:17] thien: 11.04 is frozen. Download it now, what does it change? [15:17] vincenzoml: No. [15:17] PhYoshi, look ubuntu is not gonna perform well on that setup. lubuntu is gonna fly, i promise [15:17] jrib: Thanks!! That is good to know other people do it too! So, I just checked my .bashrc file and this is already in it (http://pastey.net/149424 ) ... but it isn't working.. should I comment that out and just use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt [15:17] ok thien, I think I am wrong :) [15:17] So nobody has dealed with AMD APUs ? [15:17] oh yea, i forgot about natty being released this week. i haven't really been following this release cycle [15:17] hi, "There is a tradeoff between memory usage and speed" is this true in general ? [15:17] coder2, whats the issue? [15:17] cyphase: hmmm [15:17] elijah, i updated mine recently ubuntu changes some things around [15:17] one sec [15:17] we met somewhere, did we ? [15:17] LAcan: I've accepted that, and am totally willing to run it entirely from a terminal if I have to :P [15:17] Pici: it's not frozen? I thought so [15:18] LAcan: I cannot install 10.04 on it. It clains that there is no suitable kernrl [15:18] PhYoshi, ok then, for the recod lubuntu also has a terminal :) [15:18] coder2, u have a 32 or 64 bit machine? [15:18] elijah: that should work. Are you using the default terminal in the default shell in ubuntu? [15:18] 32 [15:18] LAcan: I'll absolutely consider it come 1st may, I promise ;) [15:18] SuperMario, yea, #css [15:18] LAcan: 32-bit [15:18] elijah, first you need to force the color prompt with color_prompt=yes because gnome-terminal doesn't report itself as color supporting [15:18] vincenzoml: Frozen just means that no updates should be pushed without prior approval of the release manager. And issues that come up when testing isos and any other serious issues will require that changes be uploaded. [15:18] coder2, i suspect you download the 64 bit package by mistake as it is labeled "AMD64"...? [15:19] LAcan: I'm sure, no [15:19] jrib & escott, I am actually using the default terminal that comes with Kubuntu [15:19] coder2, which ISO did you download? what is the name of it? [15:19] elijah, echo $TERM if it isnt xterm or rxvt you need to force the color prompt === Guest00-ru is now known as Guest55-ru [15:20] escott: Ok, I uncommented force color prompt line and it is working [15:20] escott: it's not relevant since he's using kubuntu, but I'm pretty sure it works fine in gnome-terminal, no? [15:20] LAcan: alternate image. I'll check the "normal", thank you for the idea. [15:20] thanks jrib and escott, you have been very helpful! [15:20] coder2, u need the live i386 package im thinking [15:20] lol 386 [15:21] jrib, i know it doesn't work for guake (which is what i use) because it reports itself as xterm not xterm-color which is what ubuntu .bashrc demands [15:21] guake uses the same widget as gnome-terminal so i think the same problem is there [15:21] coder2, and get 10.10 [15:21] hi. where is the folder with the start meno entires in ubuntu? [15:21] user82: why do you ask? [15:21] user82, /home/.config/autorun [15:21] i need to add one jrib [15:22] user82, the gui for this is alacarte [15:22] user82: right click on the ubuntu menu icon and click edit [15:22] i heard that openstack will be part of ubuntu 11.04, but packages.u.c does not have any result for packages [15:22] hi [15:22] is there any GUI way to have and manage one encrypted foler? [15:22] LAcan: I need LTS because some needed 3dparty packages are less problematic for 10.04 [15:22] jrib, not possible..does not work in elementaryOs [15:22] coder2, ah right, LTS [15:23] Abhijit, right click the folder, should give you an ecnruption option...? [15:23] RichiH: #ubuntu-server might be a better place to inquire about that. :) [15:23] ta [15:23] coder2, which packages out of interest? [15:23] LAcan, no [15:24] Abhijit: cryptkeeper!? [15:24] LAcan: vdr+plugins+custom XMBC build [15:24] When I do smbtree with debugging level set to 10 I get this --> http://pastebin.com/D5X2VYti My LAN is not in the 208.x.x.x range.. [15:24] LAcan, found it. thanks [15:24] so i'm doing this lab for class, and it's based in windows but i didnt think it'd matter too much doing this on linux [15:24] I also see a permissions error.. [15:24] Crowley2, yeahj. thats seems the solution. let me try it. thank you. [15:24] it just has me modifying a host file and whatnot but... [15:24] Abhijit, Truecrypt is also an option [15:24] it wants me to view the dns name cache [15:24] is this not available on ubuntu by default? [15:24] user82, ya just drag icons in there, nice and simple [15:24] mazal, Is it gui? [15:25] Yep [15:25] It creates 1 encrypted file that you can mount anytime you need [15:25] Abhijit, truecrypt is the best... mazal can u mount truvrypt folders or volumes thru TC for window? [15:25] Even on different OS's [15:25] ok. thanks mazal [15:26] LAcan, yes , I have used my truecrypt file on both Ubuntu and Windows [15:26] mazal, LAcan i want this folder not accessible by any live linuc cd? is that possible?my home dir is not encrypted. [15:26] amazing doftware that trucrypt [15:26] Abhijit, it wont be accessible by anything but your password. write it down. [15:27] ok [15:27] alternatively, where is the package list for 11.04? [15:27] Abhijit, just make sure to make the encrypted file bin enough ;) [15:27] RichiH, packages.ubuntu.com [15:27] big even [15:27] ah, natty? [15:27] how to test access rights of a folder and all its subfolders [15:27] RichiH, all [15:27] hey, I'm going for the simplest solution: create a launcher that removes option, the user will use it. But: [15:27] RichiH, #ubuntu+1 [15:27] adac: what does "test access" mean? [15:28] mazal, means? you are talking about the size? [15:28] nothing, sorry [15:28] jrib, well Ofr some reasons I have no write access in /usr/local/rvm/gems with my user. But access right and groups and so on should be ok [15:28] Can anyone help me to set password in vnc? [15:28] LAcan: nah, i am fine and found the packages i need [15:28] Yes Abhijit , Truecrypt creates and empty encrypted file. You choose for example 4gig. Then that file is mounted as a device when you need it and you can store files and folders in it. [15:29] adac: pastebin: ls -ld /usr/local/rvm/gems; groups [15:29] So I'm not sure how to debug this, I compared it to another machine where it works, and I cannot see a diffrence jrd0 [15:29] jrib, ^^ [15:29] !natty | RichiH [15:29] RichiH: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

[15:29] mazal, ok [15:29] mazal, actually i dont understand how the big size of file helps to keep it secure? [15:30] Abhijit, when it is dismounted then you can only see the 1 encrypted file again , and it can't be opened [15:30] ok [15:30] why does the gnome panel insist on re-arranging all my applets whenever I reboot? [15:30] Abhijit, it's just so you have enough space for everything you want to put in it [15:30] jrib, http://pastie.org/1839444 [15:30] mazal, oh i see. got it. thanx. [15:30] Abhijit, it hides information about how bit the file is, truecrypt also has features to allow for hidden files inside hidden files [15:31] It's an "image" file if I can call it that [15:31] mazal, escott yeh [15:31] adac: your user is not in the "rvm" group [15:31] TrueCrypt: The choice of kiddie diddlers the world over. [15:31] you get stopped at customs/kidnapped by the bad guys and they force you to give your password so you give the safe password to the fake copy not the real copy [15:31] :-) [15:32] adac: keep in mind that if you recently added him to the group, you need to log in again [15:32] jrib, ahhh [15:32] ok then i should logout [15:32] ;) [15:32] since I did add it before [15:32] ecryptfs does no such thing and it is possible to figure out what a file might be for (but not its contents) [15:32] jrib, tnak you === richard is now known as Guest31663 [15:32] thank you [15:33] excok [15:33] adac: no polbem :) [15:33] escott, ok [15:34] im having trouble with logrotate. I added a file under /etc/logrotate.d, I see that logrotate is run under /etc/cron.hourly. I created this file/log yesterday at 11am. I set the directive to rotate 30; daily. can I expect that it will actually rotate the file at 11am? I was sort of expecting it to happen when the day changed (midnight) but I seem to maybe remember reading that it depends when the file is created === Guest55-ru is now known as HariecR === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [15:36] hm [15:36] why cant i set the sticky bit on a dir? [15:36] it wont g+s [15:37] Macer: erm, g+s is not sticky bit :/ [15:37] Macer, there is no "group" sticky bit, there is one sticky bit [15:37] oh [15:37] Just upgraded to 11x, interesting desktop here. [15:38] i thougght it was g+s [15:38] to keep new files in the grp [15:38] Has anybody used italc before on Ubuntu? I'm having some issues understanding which keys I need and where they need to be located. [15:40] heloo everybody! [15:40] Macer, sticky bit (for temp files) is +t. setuid is +s neither are group/user specific. remember the whole thing fits into 8 bits srwxrwxrwxt [15:41] Macer, sorry thats 11 cant count [15:41] eshttp://gnufans.net/~deego/DeegoWiki/DebianSetuid.html [15:41] so how do i make the files remain in the same grp? [15:41] is there some second by second countdown timer for ubuntu 11.04? [15:42] g+s doesnt seem to work [15:42] escott: setuid is definitely user/group specific. both setuid and setgid are possible. [15:42] what you peoplr are talking about? [15:42] according to the debian docs [15:42] sipior, Macer nm i'm wrong [15:42] what you peoplr are talking about????

[15:42] hm... ok [15:43] join blender3d.pl [15:43] Macer: g+s will make it so that newly created files have the same group as the directory they are in [15:43] jrib: that is what i want [15:43] Macer: then do it [15:43] Has anybody used italc before on Ubuntu? I'm having some issues understanding which keys I need and where they need to be located.

[15:46] I want to try the secure of the webset [15:47] dragonlive: then try a proxy or tor [15:47] yeah , I am using the tor [15:47] who can help me? [15:48] dragonlive: if you want to check the security of your web, use a proxy, don't ask people to join there [15:48] when i do `su - other_user', it gets inexplicably "Killed" after a few seconds [15:48] yeah ,thank u for your advice [15:48] and idea what might be causing this ? [15:48] (i'm on Maverick Meerkat) [15:49] ski_: what exactly happens? [15:50] i enter `su - other_user', then password, and i'm in as `other_user' .. [15:50] ski_: i'm more interested in the ".." part [15:50] .. then i start issuing commands, and get interrupted by "Killed" after 2-10 seconds [15:50] ski_: what sort of install is this? [15:50] i.e., `su' (and every subprocess) is killed === root is now known as Project_eXa [15:51] um, it's a resident box. no live-cd [15:51] (or what did you mean ?)

[15:52] qweqweqweqwe : why? [15:53] jrib : my brother installed it (from an iso/cd downloaded from the ubuntu site, iirc) [15:53] (ubottu : yeah i know :) i just figured it didn't matter as long as there'sn't much talk :) [15:54] ski_: anything interesting in /etc/security/limits.conf maybe? [15:54] how can I make ntop monitor eth1 instaed of eth0 ? [15:55] jrib : hm, only comments there [15:55] debd: is ntop --help showing an option? dont have it installed so i cant look myself [15:56] iceroot: I'm taking a look [15:56] anyone know a good grub2 how-to [15:57] man grub2 [15:57] \o/ [15:57] fruitwerks, what u trying to do? [15:57] iceroot: actually the interface settings can be changed from the web interface. but it aint working [15:57] hey guys, how can i find a command i used a long time ago in a terminal? if i press the up key i can see commands i used before that, but its impossible to find. I know how it ends, so it will be easy with grep. [15:57] debd: man ntop (-i iface) [15:57] Pnux, history [15:57] Pnux: history [15:57] i want to setup my samba [15:57] anybody to help? [15:57] llutz: do I need the parenthesis? [15:58] tuxx-, escott: history what? [15:58] Pnux: just type in `history | less` [15:58] ski_: your brother do anything after default install? It's definitely not default behavior [15:58] Pnux: history or "ctrl r" [15:58] oh, thanks [15:58] anybody to help in setting up my samba? [15:58] Anybody have any experience interpretting wireshark? [15:58] vibhav: "i want to setup my samba" followed by "anybody to help" is the best way to not get any help [15:58] debd: you should read the man-page. -i is the option you're looking for [15:58] then how? [15:58] Project_eXa, a little... [15:58] Pnux, or !command[TAB] [15:58] i am a n00b to IRC [15:59] vibhav: it both show that you obviously not made any research on the internet by your own [15:59] vibhav: start with handing out free beer! always the best option :-D [15:59] but not a n00b in ubuntu [15:59] LAcan - well I had a crappy setup, so what I did was rsync everything to a single drive, single partition like I wanted it in the first place, the drive had legacy grub on it, and I attempted to install grub2 to it, but I can't boot off of it anymore [15:59] vibhav: and that you don't want to make any efforty [15:59] Anywhere i can find information as to what all information i'm looking at? [15:59] hey nameless, who made you the newb police? [15:59] Pnux, [ENTER] not [TAB] sorry [15:59] fruitwerks, theres an os on this drive? [15:59] Project_eXa: ##networking would be a good place to start [15:59] LAcan: i'm not sure to understand your question [15:59] i wanted to make an effort [15:59] thank you for the help! [16:00] im having trouble with logrotate. I added a file under /etc/logrotate.d, I see that logrotate is run under /etc/cron.hourly. I created this file/log yesterday at 11am. I set the directive to rotate 30; daily. can I expect that it will actually rotate the file at 11am? I was sort of expecting it to happen when the day changed (midnight) but I seem to maybe remember reading that it depends when the file is created [16:00] LAcan - there is now a clone of my working install on there [16:00] vibhav: It would help if you could provide some more details to the channel of what you're trying to do exactly. [16:00] i once set up samba via SWAT [16:00] Project_eXa, so youve suxxessfully captured packets? [16:00] escott: that just ran the last time i used that command, but i had to recover the parameters. Thanks for the help [16:00] yes [16:00] fruitwerks, and ur in ubuntu now? [16:00] I'm using wireshark for the first time, trying to understand more how it works [16:00] yeah I can boot to my original setup [16:01] ski_: the system isn't running out of memory, right? [16:01] Project_eXa, ok well most of the data is junk packets... ws uses a color scheme... google is your frind on this one [16:01] weird [16:01] i just deleted everything in the dir [16:01] and made a new dir and now it works [16:01] im having an issue with downloading drivers from live USB, it appears to be a known and fixed bug. but im wondering how i can apply the fix so that my live USB will work properly? [16:01] jrib : nope [16:02] Googling it now, but which packets are not junk? [16:02] * ski_ is attempting to find the install-cd, amongst his brothers cds .. [16:02] fruitwerks, the easiest way to do this is for you to dl an app called "grub customizer" ask google and add the PPA to your software centre. after its installed run "os-prober". that will create an entry in the customizer, and then u can simply add it to the grub2 menu, all GUI style [16:02] kaatta: we dont know what problem you are talkiong about, also we dont know what fix you are talking about [16:02] I have white, green, black, light blue [16:02] and grays [16:02] Pnux, man history you can put !?command to go a litter further back [16:03] escott: well, its not in history anyway, which is weird, cause i can see older stuff there [16:03] (jrib : but to the best of my knowledge, this is a "standard" install, with no strange custom tweaks ..) [16:03] Project_eXa, ya, ur in the wrong place for that. Wireshark will give you explanations of the different types of packets in the help or info section. u need to google the rest. I suggest you start by learning how to filter packets so the junk ones dont show up, starting with those to and from your own IP. good luck. [16:03] Pnux, if you have multiple shells open they can overwrite each others history, some shopt options can fix that [16:03] LAcan, this is a headless install - and the new drive no longer boots after I apparently improperly installed grub2, it boots off the old drive [16:03] Thank you for the starting place to look lacan [16:04] iceroot, update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory [16:04] Pnux, add shopt -s histappend to your .bashrc (cmdhist histverify) are also nice [16:04] fruitwerks, ok this makes ur life more difficult. u got a live CD? [16:04] * LAcan can stuff be installed when booting from a live Cd? [16:04] nope :/ why do I need a livecd, I have a perfectly good booting system/ [16:04] escott: meh, im not worried about that, i doubt i will need to use history again [16:05] iceroot, i can see the code they used to fix, but i have no clue as to how im supposed to take that code and implement it [16:05] fruitwerks, sorry, i thought u said it wasnt booting? what OS are u getting into? [16:05] Pnux, you say that now :) [16:05] escott: im not staying long in this os [16:05] iceroot, the bug is 557023 [16:05] escott: but ill keep it in mind [16:06] (jrib : hm "Ubuntu 9.10 i 386" .. that's probably not the cd, since this is 10.10) [16:06] LAcan lol.. ok sorry - I can boot my current and working setup, I am unable to boot to a NEW disk (that had a working grub legacy install) with an rsync of my working system on it [16:06] fruitwerks, if u just want to boot the partition I suggest PLoP, more so I suggest the "Ultimate Boot CD" which has PLoP on it and can boot any partition independetly of the HDD [16:06] ski_: if you just su - otheruser and do nothing is it still killed after some time? [16:06] fruitwerks, ok, so u are in ubuntu 10.x? [16:06] kaatta: sudo apt-get install casper [16:07] jrib : indeed [16:07] LAcan - yes I am in my working setup - I just need to properly install grub2 to another disk which will become the new root [16:07] ski_: don't know [16:07] kaatta: if i am correct only that package was fixed (and is in the repos) [16:08] it's very strange -- i haven't experienced anything like this before [16:08] iceroot, i dont know what that means exactly but i understood the apt-get and did it, hoping it works [16:08] fruitwerks, ok go to console and "sudo os-prober" tell me what it says [16:08] jrib : ok. thank you for the effort, anyway [16:08] fruitwerks, after mounting your rsync'd partition [16:08] kaatta: sudo apt-get install casper is installing the newest version of casper in which the bug has been fixed [16:08] ./dev/sda1:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (10.04):Ubuntu:linux [16:09] fruitwerks, anything else? [16:09] kaatta: and the launchpad entry says, that in the newest version its fixed [16:09] that is the new disk that has a broken grub2 [16:09] LAcan, no that was all [16:09] ah ok good! [16:09] so sda1 is the broken one fruitwerks ? [16:09] ah, k. figured that might be it. /sigh, why cant these simple instructions be somewhere easy to find? [16:09] LAcan, yes, sda1 is what I need booting [16:09] wicked [16:10] fruitwerks, no google "grub customizer" and install it. i suggest u use ubuntu sofwatre centre by adding the PPA listed on that page [16:10] how do I remove a repository ? [16:10] why cant i cp into my filesystem? [16:10] in the termanal? [16:10] Laggg : try sudo [16:10] cp: omitting directory `/home/laggg/Downloads/android-sdk-linux/' [16:10] Laggg, cp -r [16:11] whats the -r for? [16:11] i'm in the root termanal [16:11] RESPECT [16:11] lol [16:11] LAcan - does that have a cli? this is a headless system [16:11] !root [16:11] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:11] @Bliebill-Wolf http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/ [16:11] use sudo not root [16:11] ya [16:11] fruitwerks, what u mean "headless" system? [16:11] jatts right [16:11] what is the size of ubuntu 11.04 repository [16:11] LAcan as in no monitor, ssh only [16:11] If I type ping XPS (the name of a Dell XPS running Windows over my samba network) for some reason the IP address is coming out to 208.68.139.38.. That's not my lan 192.168.x.x The peculiar thing is that the other computers on the network seem to have the same address!? [16:12] hi folks... is there a pre-compiled atlas library for core i5? [16:12] fosser_josh : why do you want to know that? [16:12] jatt - do I know you? from long ago? [16:12] I see libatlas3gf-corei7sse3 in here on maverick, but I am not sure if ti's gonna work on i5 [16:12] ok this is weird. why cant i change the grp of my own home dir? [16:12] vibhav: i want to setup ubuntu repo server [16:12] Except my linux machine is just fine [16:12] what was the -r for? It worked [16:12] i understand that its a repository issue [16:12] no [16:12] also libatlas3gf-amd64sse3 isn't for me, right? [16:12] fruitwerks, hrmmm. u would know about that better than me... check out the page for GC and see what it says, ive only used the GUI version but im certain theres a terminal version as well [16:12] Laggg: recursive? [16:13] and to add it its a .add-apt-repository (sourse here) [16:13] but how do i remove it? === fairuz is now known as fairuz-away [16:13] Soyo, sounds like 208.68.139.38 is your internet global address, all the 192.* are local behind the NAT [16:13] Is there a way to nab 11.04 a day early?

[16:19] linuxman410: #lubuntu [16:19] sorry i meant ubuntu [16:19] hi i am using ubuntu 10.01 i have installed tftpd-hpa and configured it , but while accessing from client getting error as time out [16:20] aroman, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch [16:20] exit [16:20] IdleOne i meant ubuntu [16:20] stianhj: well beyond that [16:21] linuxman410: so why did you ask in #lubuntu first? patience, the best place to get help is the channel for your distro. [16:21] synaptics isn't recongnizing my trackpad as mulittouch === fairuz-away is now known as fairuz_ [16:21] in fact, its not recognizing it as a trackpad at all [16:21] Empathy 2.32.1 has suddenly started giving me "network error" messages instantly after attempting to connect when I try and use gchat. Other chat services work. What are the first steps to debug? [16:21] linuxman410 : refer to http://techdigger.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/multitouch-on-synaptics-trackpad-on-linux/ [16:22] IdleOne because i have tried bot oses same think [16:22] aroman, i don't have anything multitouch, but doesn't it use a different driver than synaptics (and by extension different tools) with utouch and such? [16:22] By default, it's possible to pair the Magic Trackpad and use basic mouse-like functionality with the regular left-click being available via the physical click only; tapping and scrolling will not work. [16:22] hmm i thought utouch's backend was synaptics [16:22] i thought utouch was userspace actually [16:23] aroman, or follow the link vibhav gave [16:23] i could be very wrong [16:23] yeah that doesn't affect me [16:23] because the issue is with synaptics itself [16:23] aroman : By default, it's possible to pair the Magic Trackpad and use basic mouse-like functionality with the regular left-click being available via the physical click only; tapping and scrolling will not work. [16:23] aroman, i'm just guessing wildy.. and I think I'm wrong [16:23] vibhav what does a trackpad have to do with a desktop [16:23] how to test tftp server is configured properly [16:23] using tftp [16:23] firstly, I don't have a magic trackpad [16:23] I am trying to help my buddy get some photos off his old laptop, and when I yanked the hard drive I found a connector I had never seen. I took some pictures of it and was hoping someone could help me identify it so I can find an adapter. http://img64.imageshack.us/i/20110427081235.jpg/ http://img687.imageshack.us/i/20110427081157.jpg/ http://img38.imageshack.us/i/20110427073819.jpg/ [16:24] and second, synaptics doesn't recognize my trackpad, so editing xorg.conf manually wouldn't be helpful [16:24] holmser, it's a PATA connector [16:25] linuxman410, what kinda vcard u have? [16:25] holmser, you trying to make everyone feel old? [16:25] You've never seen PATA? XD wow [16:25] no [16:25] or wait [16:25] is it? [16:25] I never work on laptops [16:25] LAcan a intel 845ge on board [16:25] PATA is an old connector format that was used in all PCs before SATA replaced it [16:26] holmser: try ##hardware your question really isn't an ubuntu related issue. [16:26] aroman : I love my usb mouse [16:26] no its not [16:26] doesn't the drive have the male connetors with PATA? [16:26] holmser: Its not really on-topic here, ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask.

I always ended up nuking the panel and starting over when that happened [16:31] linuxman410: hmm, check in System > Administration > additional drivers. maybe it needs to install some. [16:32] upgrading ubuntu never goes well [16:32] escott: how do I do that then? [16:32] IdleOne tried that a no go say no drivers avaiable [16:33] MK``, if the panel starts you could remove the whole panel and then add a new one, but browse around the .gnome2 directory first [16:33] maybe you will see and easier way [16:33] when i install 10.10 it has one resolution and will not let me change it [16:34] !fixres | linuxman410 [16:34] linuxman410: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[17:10] anyone know how you make a program run in terminal if you use an .sh file to launch it? [17:10] constl: has to be one of the four primary partitions, rather.

One is for Dell diagnostics, one for linux, one for windows and one for Dell MediaDirect [17:11] Octodigit: no, it is not shared.

[17:12] i can run it, but i need to run 6 different ones, and its much easier than running them manually [17:12] ikonia: I'm a newbie... i guess the additional drivers feature edited the xorg.conf i know that and i changed it back (not manually) to the NV driver [17:12] if someone has enabled those repos for a deliberate reason then you need to perhaps do sudo apt-get update [17:12] Teeko: what are you trying to run ?

[17:14] let me see [17:14] Teeko how do you launch it outside the script ? [17:14] then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/squeeze/php5/binary-amd64/php5-curl_5.3.5-0.dotdeb.1_amd64.deb [17:14] drag it into a terminal window [17:14] no, pasted the wrong thing [17:14] and then just hit enter [17:14] When i launch an application using the terminal, by typing say gedit ~/.bashrc, my terminal doesnt let me type anything further until the application (gedit in this case) is closed. if i force exit the hung prompt by ctrl+z, the launched application greys out and becomes unresponsive. is this normal? and if so, do i have to keep opening new terminals to do other things while having launched...

[17:22] might be a little tricky to find a mirror for 7.10 [17:22] ...an app from another? [17:22] it looks like you might have to revisit your sources list before it works from that output, by the way [17:22] but we'll see [17:22] fresh install? no other way? [17:22] pindropper: add an ampersand to the command [17:22] pindropper: e.g. gedit ~/.bashrc & and it will background the process [17:22] looks like it installed succefully [17:22] I would not try 7.04 to current...to many changes....save your data you want and do a fresh install...it will take less time and you will be happier [17:23] rebooting to test now. [17:23] ActionParsnip: thanks! [17:23] thansk :) [17:23] i will try that [17:23] just tho upgrade would be faster [17:23] ok, i got it to launch in the terminal. but after that i have sleep 20 then ./dreadlochai.sh [17:23] pindropper: C-z stops the applicatino (you can resume with `fg`). If you append a `&` after the command the process gets backgrounded. But the terminal process will be a parent process and if you kill/close it, gedit will also close. [17:23] hi [17:23] and it doesnt do anything. it just executes first command, and then nothing. [17:23] Teeko: that wasn't in the script you sent me [17:23] its the second file that i wanna run [17:24] (11:23:17) Xyzzin: just tho upgrade would be faster - no, it would not [17:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty [17:24] Teeko: probably because the bot never exits to move to the next command, you should launch the bot using & after the command so it backgrounds it and moves on to the next command [17:24] im running 6 programs from this script, first named chatbot.sh, second is dreadlochai.sh [17:24] quick question. ubuntu 11 is out soon. should i upgrade from 10 to 11 now in update manager or wait until its offical? [17:24] benedikt: ok. but if i use the & i could launch multiple apps. but if i close the terminal all the apps opened will be shut down too?

[17:26] benedikt: thanks. [17:26] * Octodigit reboots to different kernel [17:26] so, anyone have any idea what the binary for the unity volume manager is? [17:27] exit [17:29] Hello, everyone [17:29] I think I seriously messed up my HDD. =/ [17:29] I hate whn that happens [17:30] Whenever I start up, it loads up grub repair or something like that, and it's like terminal, but nothing I type seems to work. [17:30] When I try to boot from LiveCD, it tells me No Filesystem Found or something of that sort and gives me BusyBox [17:30] Is there any way I can recover data from this HDD? [17:30] And then install something over it again so I can use it? [17:31] Any help is very appreciated [17:31] Cody3290, so you can't book your liveCD? [17:31] erm... boot not book [17:31] Nope. It loads up BusyBox or something like that [17:32] Cody3290, the liveCD has its own filesystem... perhaps it's broken [17:32] Cody3290, try with another live-medium (preferable usb-stick) [17:32] I used the same disc to install on the HDD I'm on now so i could get online with you guys [17:33] How big does the usb stick have to be? [17:33] Cody3290, when was this? and what exactly is the problem? [17:33] Do you compare MD5 sums? [17:33] how i run a .c file? [17:33] Cody3290, >3GB (iirc) [17:33] ratSalad, you have compile it first (with gcc) [17:33] ratSalad: you compile it with gcc first, then you run the output [17:33] is there a "best practice" for where to put new folders for install, services etc? do I just create a new dir on /? [17:34] Cody3290: 2gb for the USB is recommended [17:34] sec_goat: what are you installing? [17:34] is there a way to convert mp4 to .avi? [17:34] I think i have a spare USB. Is there a way to make this USB from a CD I already have? [17:35] daniel, WinFF [17:35] rumpe: gcc -o file.c? [17:35] ratSalad: yes [17:35] What is the command to list all my drives mounted with drive letters? [17:35] Cody3290, if the CD has this error, you perhaps get the same error on the usb [17:35] hypetech: I want to run a minecraft server, so it's less of an install and more of a folder filled with files [17:36] daniel_: in the Ubuntu Software Manager, look for Arista Transcoder. it's very simple to use. Avidemux is also good [17:36] it told me gcc: no input files [17:36] ratSalad, gcc -o file.o file.c [17:36] sec_goat: you can just put it in your home folder [17:36] bc81, wicth would u prefer and will it distort the picture? [17:37] аё [17:37] people hi [17:37] Hi all, quick question - If I have the 11.04 daily build from 7 days ago. If I just update can I just assume that it will the latest version once its released tomorrow? [17:37] Karti: yep [17:37] Karti: Quick answer-yes;) [17:38] rumpe1: So is there nothing i cna do to fix my HDD? [17:38] elijah: i guess you can try "df -h" without the quotes [17:38] daniel_: arista for it's simplicity, but if you need more control over the output, i recommend Avidemux. [17:38] Cody3290, you only mentioned filesystem-error on your liveCD [17:38] rumpe1: The same basic thing happens when I boot from HDD [17:38] Testing [17:38] i'm from russia [17:38] Cody3290, and if you can't boot your system because of this you have to use some other medium ... like a liveCD [17:38] rumpe1: and how i test it? [17:39] arpan: that is closer, but it doesn't show drive letters like e, c etc. Wine needs a drive letter and I don't know what it is [17:39] bc81, ok and the main reason i am doing this is becasue i notice mp4 files are usually bigger then avi am i righ to think that if i convert it to avi it will take up less space? [17:39] rumpe1: And neither HDD nor LiveCD works. Is there anything else I can do? [17:39] ratSalad, mark the compiled file as executable, execute it [17:39] do all mounted drives get drive letters? [17:39] Cody3290, try other boot-media [17:39] hypetech, otoman, Thnak you [17:39] bc81, and thanks in advance :D [17:39] elijah: nope, in linux drives are mounted in a folder under /media [17:40] Anyone had any luck running TrackMania with Wine? [17:40] elijah: so they don't get drive letters like c:, d: etc. [17:40] rumpe1: Ok, that brings me to a question I asked before. Can I make USB of ubuntu from ubuntu itself? I know you can make one with usb_creator.exe but I dont have wine or XP and my internet is very slow at the moment [17:40] and how people can communicate here? [17:40] Hi! I have the problem, that Ubuntu 10.04 Server installation freezes while installing the software. It's on a Intel D510MO with latest Bios. I've tested it like 10 times. Freezes at any random software. [17:41] cqixk_work: did you run the disc verification before trying to install? sounds like you have a bad CD [17:41] бред бля [17:41] I've tested it once, but that's months ago. Will try again hypetech [17:41] !ru | luceferushko [17:41] luceferushko: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [17:41] daniel_: if you transcode them into avi, they may take up less space depending on the settings you use but you will sacrifice the quality of the video [17:42] Cody3290, for filesystem checks you don't need a big installer like for ubuntu... just filesystem-check/repair tools [17:42] тупая херня [17:43] Im messing around with an ubuntu server for the first time :-) How can i find out what port is open when connecting to mysql ? === ronin_ is now known as Guest22304 [17:44] rumpe1: How would I get that? [17:44] arpan: Okay, thanks, kind of odd how Wine needs that to work then, turns our Wine thinks my system volume is H: so I guess they do get them in a quasi kind of way [17:44] Cody3290, http://www.ultrabootcd.com/howto.htm e.g. is just 47MB big [17:45] elijah: i hardly used wine so don't know much about it. [17:45] arpan: k [17:46] i have a question. every time i wake up this laptop, there is about 15-20 lines of text (i'm assuming errors) that quickly in the upper left corner of the screen. i searched all the log files for a keyword but found nothing. are these errors or nothing to worry about? [17:46] jnlsnl_: mysql server runs on port 3306 by default === Guest-ru is now known as HariecR [17:48] rumpe1: THank you [17:48] hi [17:48] hypetech if i do "netstat -an | grep -i mysql" i get the following: "STREAM LISTENING 6338" how can i change that to default? [17:50] I have 10.04 running. Is it necessary or enough improvement to upgrade to 11.04 when released? [17:50] hey guys someone know how to set de DEBUG On lighttpd ? [17:50] jlg [17:51] hypetech: any reason to keep the Media, Public or Templates folder in my home directory? or any of them for that matter? [17:51] any voip tools out there? [17:51] where does google chrome hide my flash video from youtube? [17:52] shane4ubuntu: /temp ? [17:52] hypetech: Integrity test was positive. That can't be the problem with my D510MO [17:52] sec_goat: nope, not in /tmp [17:53] shane4ubuntu: from what I recall and it has been a while it wa sin that folder as long as you had the browser and the page with the video open, when you left or closed it would trash the file [17:53] hello. I need some quick help: My ssh session just crashed. I was working with one application and I can still see that application in "top". Is there a way to recover it? [17:53] cqixk_work: what's the motherboard have to do with it? [17:53] sec_goat: that is where FF keeps them, however Chrome works different [17:53] whois hypetech [17:53] shane4ubuntu: my bad, sorry I will be of no help then [17:53] hypetech: There seem to be some troubles with newer atoms. [17:53] sec_goat: no prob, thanks anyway [17:54] shane4ubuntu: .cache/chrome? In multiple pieces, IIRC. Certainly I have quite a large number if bits in ~/.cache/chromium/{Media\ ,}Cache [17:54] ShaneBhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451839 [17:54] shane4ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451839 [17:54] Darael: right, that is what I thought it was before, but, seems mine is empty, I'm using chrome, not chromium though, just a minor difference [17:54] boldgold: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ [17:55] thanks sec_goat, don't know why that didn't come up with my googling. :) [17:55] shane4ubuntu: problem is thats chromium again not chrome, sorry [17:56] hi guys, I am lost installing ubuntu [17:56] I download latest 10.10 iso [17:56] sec_goat: no, that is ok, they have chrome info on that page too. [17:56] shane4ubuntu: Yeah, I was guessing based on chromium. But as the link says, I guessed a touch wrong - ~/.cache/google-chrome/ [17:56] installed as main OS, using ENTIRE DISK [17:56] and ubuntu doesnt start [17:56] grub doesnt show [17:56] I have a blank screen only [17:56] I'm trying to use this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot to make an install but the machine I'm trying to install on complains that there is no boot media in the boot device when i attempt to use the network as the boot device. [17:56] any ideas [17:57] Darael: ahh, I kept looking in .cach/google-chrome/Cache it is in .cache/google-chrome/Defualt/Cache! [17:57] Darael: thanks [17:57] werever: If you want the latest version, I would suggest trying again tomorrow with Natty, which is released then. Note that this is incidental to your problem. [17:57] shane4ubuntu: Glad you found it! [17:58] I tried with 10.10, and 11.04 beta2, with same results, ubuntu doesnt start, now I took this problem personal and I dont wanna stop until get ubuntu working well =P [17:58] werever: Is there anything on the screen at all? A blinking cursor, even? [17:58] hi all, can anyone point me to a guide/doc/tut to do a remote install of ubuntu? [17:58] yes [17:58] blinkin cursos only [17:58] blingking cursor [17:59] heya ppl [17:59] How can I get my Atom D510 to allow the installation of Ubuntu 10.04 Server - It hangs when setting up the software (not the base system) [17:59] Does something differ from the Ubuntu 11 Beta 2 to Ubuntu 11 live ? [17:59] werever: Right. That implies you're getting past GRUB, which is a start. Can you try to boot and hold shift immediately after your BIOS splash disappears for me? That should bring up the grub menu. At this point, I would edit out the "quiet splash" bit of the default option and see what you get. It might give us a hint as to what's going on. [18:00] I have 10.04 running. Is it necessary or enough improvement to upgrade to 11.04 when released? [18:00] cqixk_work, i heard that using a usb drive to install it works [18:00] thank patrick norton [18:00] Is it possible for to use an SD card instead of a USB stick? [18:00] ekim1: upgrade to 10.10 first [18:00] boldgold: It's on a USB CD-Rom [18:00] When making a liveCD [18:00] ekim1, nope, i'm still running 10.04 [18:00] changing to ubuntu 11 was the biggest mistake i made since i started using linux years ago [18:00] cqixk_work, i'm not sure... i just read it reading a review on newegg [18:00] Babalau: Apart from the fact that 11.04 is a release date, not a version number :) there will indeed be differences between the beta and the release. However, they'll appear in the update manager anyway, so you could install the beta and it'll update transparently come release. [18:01] xangua: I get that but is it worth while to do the upgrading as in significant improvements? [18:01] Babalau: Are you saying using linux in the first place was a mistake in and of itself? [18:01] no [18:01] boldgold: Ok, thank you. Maybe I give it a try with a USB stick [18:01] upgrading to The latest ubuntu [18:01] Babalau: Good. Then we would have to kill you xD [18:01] ekim1: new kernel, new programs, new all, you decide [18:02] ~voteban cody3290 [18:02] ... [18:02] Why ban me... [18:02] what is better kde, gnome, etc? [18:02] hello there [18:02] you said you were going to kill someone [18:02] what does Ubuntu One let me do? I have an account and connected.. am I suppose to see an additional storage device? [18:02] Juxtaposed to a "xD" implying it was a joke [18:02] ekim1: they are different, choose the one u like, just dont get unity [18:02] we don't like you lawless young men around here in #ubuntu [18:03] Cody3290: Can we keep this to support? For chat, take it to -offtopic. For arguments, take it to PM. [18:03] ekim1: each user has his preference, you probably won't get an answer for this question :) [18:03] Sprry. [18:03] Sorry. [18:03] I like unity now that I'm used to the keyboard shortcuts :p [18:03] i haven't even tried it yet [18:03] Unity it's not verry customizable [18:03] is it any good? [18:03] dd214: sync the music you buy, sync evolution contacts, sync files [18:03] dd214, its a service akin to dropbox [18:03] !best | ekim (this applies to better, too) [18:03] ekim (this applies to better, too): Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:03] Darael: I restarting now to try shift key on boot, will come back in a moment, thanks! [18:04] okay, just wondered program usage wise if one was better. [18:04] my opinion is that ubuntu will fail with the unity release tomorow... alot of users will move to debian/fedora/etc... [18:04] sorry! [18:04] 11.04 is co ming out tomorrow [18:04] that's cool [18:04] ekim1: You can run programs from any one DE from any of the others anyway, so in that respect they're as good as each other. [18:04] Babalau: don't know why you would pick a different distro when you can just run a different environment on ubuntu [18:05] hypetech: cause they gaved up on Gnome [18:05] Has anyone gotten s3fs (FUSE over AWS S3) working to their satisfaction? Are there any other decent solutions to mounting S3 drives? [18:05] Babalau: You realise that the GNOME2 desktop will be available from GDM by default, right? The entry's called "Ubuntu Classic". [18:05] I have an issue with a 10.10 host: the person in charge has messed up a little bit with user properties. One of the users currently has bash pointing to a non-existent folder (was a chroot). I tried to change this in System Settings but it has no effect. Is it because this is one of the "root users" ? I could correct the path for other users [18:05] hypetech: Darael the normal user who doesen't know that will leave ubuntu/linux cause it will have a bade taste using Unity (just my 2 cents) [18:06] hi [18:06] Im so excited for the 11.04.Can wait.Im from Singapore.The time here is 1.00am.I cant sleep yet.... [18:06] what the hell is libreoffice? [18:06] !ot [18:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:06] !libreoffice [18:06] Current stable releases of Ubuntu use OpenOffice.org, and do not have supported packaging for LibreOffice. Ubuntu developers are working on packaging for Ubuntu Natty and backports for 10.10 and 10.04. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-January/032298.html for more information on progress and an unstable, unsupported PPA. [18:06] boldgold: openoffice fork, since sun got sold to oracle. [18:06] Babalau: it's no harder to use than gnome3 shell, so the only other option would be to use all KDE [18:06] Hi there. Good afternoon. I have a friend who have a problem with his Ubuntu. He can hear sound only with headset, but nothing out from speakers [18:06] oic cool [18:07] libre office lol funny name [18:07] :/ [18:07] actually lol [18:07] can anyone point me towards a live cd that might work with a dell printer? im having trouble getting it to work in window$. [18:07] Can I use an SD card instead of a USB stick to make a bootable LiveCD? [18:07] escott: Just wanted to say thanks again for all your help yesterday, looks like the x tunnel is working great for what I need! [18:07] Cody3290, yes [18:08] sec_goat, someone pointed me to a program xfvp i think it was which would allow session support for X [18:08] Hello [18:08] someone use lighttpd + php-fpm ? [18:09] am i asking in the wrong channel? [18:09] escott: I have this thing called x2go and it works great on every computer except this one [18:09] sec_goat, sorry xpra [18:09] hello [18:09] escott got it.. working, and have an UbuntuOne directory that is showing up under Places [18:09] anyone? [18:09] escott: I will check out xpra as well, thanks again! [18:09] dd214, so if you are familiar with dropbox thats akin to a dropbox folder [18:09] !patience | needtoprint [18:09] needtoprint: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:10] right, sorry [18:10] needtoprint: do you mean just so you can print from a live cd? [18:10] I'm trying to file share between Ubuntu netbook 10.10 and windows xp on another machine [18:11] hypetech yes [18:11] needtoprint: I imagine ubuntu would be able to print fine, it has pretty excellent printer support, so the ubuntu livecd would probably work [18:11] needtoprint, there aren't any "printer specific" livecds that I am aware of, check if cups supports your printer model [18:11] escott know if this supports streaming music, this will be a great place to host O&A shows [18:11] tiny progress [18:11] it now says no boot filename recieved [18:11] whoa [18:11] hypetech: cups, right thank you === dpy2 is now known as dpy [18:12] If i do: "netstat -antp" i get "tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN" ... so is port 3306 already in use? I need it for mysql ! [18:12] dd214, there is music syncing but it is oriented at single users not sure if you could host off of it. don't use it myself maybe xangua knows [18:12] There's no file sharing option when I right click a folder in file manager. [18:12] jnlsnl_: sudo lsof -i :3306 to find whats listening there [18:12] jnlsnl_: that is mysql already listening lol [18:12] !samba | Flynn [18:12] Flynn: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[18:13] Im back, Shift key is not working, screen remains with a blinking cursor only, ubuntu cant start, I made a fresh install of 10.10 32 bits using entire disk, no windows, no partitions, Im on live cd now [18:13] then i get: mysqld 621 mysql 10u IPv4 6337 0t0 TCP localhost:mysql (LISTEN) [18:13] escott just for me.. the idea would be to upload it from my home machine and then listen to it from work, both machines are Ubuntu and work is c-blocking my traffic to XM [18:13] 6337 ??! [18:13] any ideas guys? [18:13] jnlsnl_: mysql already uses that port [18:13] dd214, that should work (unless work blocks ubuntuone) [18:14] okay =) [18:14] thanks ! [18:14] must be another problem im looking for then [18:14] escott nope.. at work and on there now, else, it's time to setup a VPN tunnel to home. [18:14] hi, all. I need to automate the installation of an ubuntu 10.10, is preseed the best toool to do this? [18:15] Samba error: mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /home/user/smb4k/DELLXP/SharedDocs found in /etc/fstab [18:15] dd214, if ubuntu one doesn't work for you set up an ssh server on your home computer that would be easier [18:15] strangely, the latest preseed documentation I've found is from ubuntu 8.04 [18:15] anyone know if zypper is faster than apt ? [18:15] Flynn: use admin permissions [18:16] Flynn, only root can mount items not listed in fstab so you have to use admin options to mount your cifs folder [18:16] I only have one user so I assume I am. [18:16] hello, Could anyone tell me what time is Ubuntu approx. released? [18:16] how do i mount a drive as read only? [18:16] Flynn: for security reason although u are admin u need to be Root [18:16] bethany: -o ro [18:17] Flynn, you can sudo but you are NOT root, you momentarily take admin priviliges with sudo/gksudo as needed [18:17] coucou [18:17] ty [18:17] is there a command to convert a partition from FAT to EXT4 - keeping data intact? [18:17] Al_nz1: no [18:17] hello, any ideas how get ubuntu working? on a fresh install grub is not starting, and ubuntu doesnt start, I have only a blinking cursor on my screen and shift key is not working [18:17] Al_nz1, no [18:17] Flynn: [18:17] werever, is it the only os on your system?

[18:18] werever, i remember you were online yesterday can we get a quick recap [18:18] werever, did you use the default settings or did you set custom partitions?

[18:19] bl4ckcomb default settings [18:19] how do I take admin priviliges [18:19] Flynn: press ALT+F2 and type: gksudo nautilus [18:19] type in the password [18:19] werever, did you check your cd against a checksum for possible download/writing errors? [18:20] and you are root in ur explorer [18:20] bl4ckcomb I didnt check the iso, how can I check it on ubuntu, is there any app on ubuntu software center? [18:20] jasonmchristos: it will naturally cache itself to ram as it is used. why do you want it in ram? [18:20] werever, I think there was an option when you boot the cd [18:21] mbeierl, optical drive is slow [18:21] Babalau, Flynn I'd not recommend doing that. its too easy to confuse the root nautilus window with the non-root nautilus window leaving you with a root nautilus window which would allow you to do lots of damage to the system by accident [18:21] escott I will try grub reinstall again, yesterday didnt work [18:21] werever, it can check itself iirc [18:21] isnt there a toram=yes option? [18:21] jasonmchristos: Indeed [18:21] werever, did you get any error messages with the grub-install? [18:21] could anyone help me?

You have been given options. Please stop now. [19:15] Is kde compiled using a SSP ? [19:15] kwtm: I wrote the script in bash and it uses gtkdialog. gksu should be as simple as 'gksu -u admin script.sh', correct? [19:16] adelie42: it should be. (Note that I am more familiar with kdesu than gksudo.) So you are running as "admin" and not "root"?

[19:18] soreau: OK ...think I tired that [19:18] swatto: hashbang or shebang, i.e: #!/bin/bash [19:18] ktwm: Is this the gtkdialog window? yes [19:18] adelie42: I'm not sure what that has to do with being a public terminal. My question was: you are saying "gksu -u admin" instead of "gksu" or "gksu -u root". Is there a user called "admin" on your system? [19:18] donttrustem: Do you have enough available hard disk on / space according to df -h ? [19:19] Pici, ahh yes thanks [19:19] Darael: does that look right to you?

Have a look and see if they're recommends or depends - if the former, you can enter ":cpu-checker :update-notifier-common" at the prompt (since you seem to be using aptitude) and it won't install them. [19:20] soreau: driving me crazy [19:20] soreau: is it possible apt os broken [19:20] donttrustem: Do you have anything in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? [19:20] is ^ [19:20] Captain_Haddock: Look pretty much fine to me. You could exclude byobu, too, if you like, but I quite like it myself - though I do set it to use screen shortcuts rather than its own ones. [19:21] soreau: let me chec [19:21] k [19:21] ktwm: technically, me neither. If I log into the administrative account and try to run the script using gksudo, it works fine. It is only when I try to switch which user the program will be run as then escalate privileges in the same command that it goes wrong [19:21] Bender [19:21] Darael: look like dependencies. Thanks! I'll go ahead with it. I was just wondering how in the world cpu-checker was related to screen :| [19:22] soreau: only lock and partial [19:22] Darael , harpette: much obliged [19:22] Captain_Haddock: One of byobu's little things it can show at the bottom is CPU-usage, y'see. Have a good one. [19:22] aha! [19:23] kwtm: It usually says '3 wrong password attempts', unless I do it as gksudo -u admin 'gksudo script.sh', then it just exists [19:23] donttrustem: From what I can tell reading the man page, it seems you might not have enough memory to store the entire apt cache it wants to load. Do you have any additional repos eabled besides the official ubuntu ones? [19:23] Hello, can anybody help me with a MIDI configuration problem? I did search by google but found nothing helpfull. Midi plays in mediaplayer but when I start a software "linthesia" which needs midioutput to play, no sound cames out. I select different type of driver but nothing. Any help? [19:24] donttrustem: enabled* [19:24] HI, I need some program to conversion from mp4 or flv to mp3 with gui, is something ? [19:24] soreau: just the standard ones ... [19:24] OK let me create some space [19:24] donttrustem: memory as in ram, not hard disk space [19:24] treadstone: I'm not sure if it supports FLVs. But check out handbrake [19:25] treadstone: try arista or transmageddon. They're as good places as any to start. [19:25] AH ...OK [19:25] let me check [19:25] soreau: Mem: 504724k total, 458984k used, 45740k free, 47140k buffers [19:25] Swap: 884728k total, 15348k used, 869380k free, 211848k cached [19:25] treadstone: Handbrake does just about everything, but isn't in the repos (IIRC). [19:25] think you are correct [19:25] soreau: 500mb [19:26] kwtm: I think I may just need to teach the non-tech person how to login. [19:26] soreau : does that look like the problem ... if so I will contact the hosting company [19:27] donttrustem: Hosting company? [19:27] soreau: vhost [19:27] soreau: where my virtual server is [19:27] when do ubuntu 11.04 comes [19:27] tmrow [19:27] What do you use to convert from flv, mp4 to mp3... plz help I don't have time, i need only program name [19:27] DerDAS: Natty is released tomorrow.

[19:28] soreau: OK ... [19:29] How do I find out which repository a package is in/from? [19:29] treadstone: im sorry, its "any video converter" [19:29] soreau: my other server is working fine btw [19:29] donttrustem: What command is giving you this output? [19:29] pygreen, are ur mouse and kb USB? [19:29] soreau: apt-get install [19:29] Mat799: I think it's a bot. [19:29] soreau: or apt-get autoclean [19:29] So any help with MIDI driver? [19:30] LAcan: keyboard is wireless with a usb remote, mouse is usb with cable. [19:30] Captain_Haddock:well ban the the thing [19:30] Captain_Haddock, just add all the sources and then search from ubuntu software centre [19:30] Besides, the treadstone project was a waste of time. Blackbriar was more promising :| [19:30] I must convert mp4, flv (video+sound) do mp3 [19:30] pygreen, are they plugged into a USB hub? [19:30] Capitan_Haaddock: ;) [19:30] pygreen: is it a laptop or branded pc?

[19:31] no answer in ubuntu+1 [19:31] is it possible to add a custom terminal command as launcher, like in gnome? [19:31] is it possible to change the unity keyboard shortcuts? now i need two hands to switch windows, i want to use only one hand, like in gnome [19:32] LAcan: ah! any idea about the command-line? [19:32] Captain_Haddock, none, sorry! [19:32] pygreen: does it have a make and model? [19:32] hi I am a noob and just installed istanbul screen recording software. But I am getting error "you do not have ximagesrc gstreamer plugin installed" please help [19:32] LAcan: I already tried all my usb slots with the mouse, same thing every time. [19:32] aditya, install that plugin through the sofwate centre [19:32] LAcan: thanks... showpkg that somebody suggested earlier was scant on details. [19:33] Captain_Haddock, escott would know [19:33] soreau: OK done ... going to try [19:33] ActionParsnip: mouse is from "vivanco", made in china ;D [19:33] donttrustem: pastebin the output to pastebin.ca if it doesn't work [19:33] pygreen, but wait, if your mouse is unplugged, can u navigate with just keyboard? [19:33] LAcan: but software center is showing all gstreamer plugins installed. [19:33] pygreen: I'm familiar with vivanco, is the system a branded PC? [19:33] soreau: looks like it is fixed [19:33] pygreen, i dont mean aidfdfrent port, i mean unplugged altogehter [19:33] donttrustem: Cool :-) [19:34] aditya, hrmm, did you try running thje screen cap as root?

[19:34] Hello, is there a way to tell if a webserver runs ubuntu or not? === derp is now known as derp|nopingplz [19:34] pygreen, ActionParsnip can prolly help you better than I can [19:34] donttrustem: You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the duplicate entries [19:34] ActionParsnip: no, i bought the hardware and built it myself. [19:34] soreau:K [19:34] pmp6nl, yes, use wget and look at the HTTP header [19:34] somebody can help me ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:35] ! ask | treadstone [19:35] treadstone, whats up?

[19:36] soreau: OK ..... I don't see any duplicates [19:36] treadstone, someone already answered u [19:36] soreau: let me pastebin [19:36] treadstone: You've had five or six responses, but you just keep going "help me, I need x" - read the responses and you'll be fine. [19:36] I'm blind [19:36] hmmm [19:36] ActionParsnip: oh, and the other problem with the mouse is that it does not work anymore if the computer was shut down for some time. re-plugging solves this. [19:37] treadstone, Mat799> treadstone: im sorry, its "any video converter" [19:37] ok i need some help with installing openSSH [19:37] treadstone, there were other suggestions. i suggest u search the ubuntu software manager and make a choice yourself.

[19:38] soreau: I also have a sources.list ~ [19:38] Captain_Haddock, LAcan overestimates my knowledge, but what was the question [19:39] donttrustem: That's likely from an editor like gedit [19:39] soreau: yeah [19:39] soreau: but is the sources list OK [19:39] pindropper: Line 5. Quotes. [19:39] donttrustem: Does this file exist? /var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic-updates_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages [19:39] ok i got thanks [19:40] it* [19:40] pindropper: You forgot the quotes around $1. It should be if ! builtin type -p "$1" &>/dev/null; then [19:40] escott: Thanks :) I wanted to know which repository an available package was from/in, using apt/aptitude [19:40] * LAcan sent his first "New Virus" message to Kaspersky today. I'm so proud. [19:40] pindropper: Otherwise, if "$1" happens to have a space in it, you're screwed. :) [19:40] soreau: yeah [19:40] Captain_Haddock, don't know apt that well [19:40] Captain_Haddock: There's "aptitude versions" for a start. [19:40] soreau: do I need to remove [19:40] donttrustem: And you need to remove the last line in sources.list because it's a tilde (~) [19:40] how do i config openSSH??? [19:41] Captain_Haddock: Hang on, I'll try and remember the other tool I was thinking of as well. [19:41] DaSinge: If you mean the server, you need to edit /etc/ssl/sshd_config [19:41] escott: no worries, thanks :) [19:41] Darael: cheers, trying [19:42] DaSinge, what do you want to ssh to do [19:42] there is no sshd_config [19:43] DaSinge, all the config is in /etc/ssh/ssh_config [19:43] wait canel that [19:43] cancel* [19:43] Sup all. [19:43] kwtm: :) ack! will fix. thanks. but i was under the impression that commands cannot have spaces in them. and command exists only checks commands. so the error would be appropriate? i dont know, i am just thinking out loud [19:43] DaSinge: /etc/ssh/sshd_config (not ssl) [19:43] OK thanks [19:43] soreau: there is no tilda in the sources list [19:44] donttrustem: ok [19:44] doni: Can you pastebin that other file though? from /var [19:44] hi i am new to ubuntu, and have done a fresh install from a cd that my friend gave me.

I am going to leave it without the quotes. [19:46] soreau: check first [19:47] doni: adjust your screen resolution. If that's not enough, you may need to use a restricted driver, possibly found under System--> Admin-->Hardware Drivers [19:47] pindropper: It is up to you. SPaces in filenames are somewhat special cases but occur more often than you think. Be careful using this on filenames under a hacker's control.

[20:11] vooze: maco #ubuntu+1 [20:11] maco: and is it stable enough to rely on for some pretty pressured office work? i am a politician - so when shit's going down, my system needs to be there for me. [20:12] is it worth to upgrade from 8.04.4 to 10.4 on old hw? [20:12] budgee: think about the definition of "alpha" [20:12] tilc: sure [20:12] why? [20:12] budgee: it would of course have broken multiple times over the last 5 months. how badly depends on your hardware's usual level of support and your skills at cleaning up messes [20:12] tilc: Security concerns. 8.04 not going to be supported for much longer. [20:12] maco: yes, well i'm responding to the mini-guilt trip i suffered when you suggested I should be beta testing :P [20:12] test [20:13] budgee: i used "can i function without a gui?" as my bar for when i started being an alpha tester [20:13] kwtm: security isnt a problem, i'm behind a fw [20:13] can someone tell me how to register? the guide is telling me to use /msg but it's coming up as not a command [20:13] tilc: a fw cant protect you from exploits in applications [20:14] maco: i've been a sysadmin, develop and linux user since 1997 so i can fix stuff for sure but not always able to afford it [20:14] tilc: That's just net security. [20:14] budgee: because other than not-booting-at-all (which did happen around hardy beta), in which case reinstalling is easy enough, a broken X is about the worst that can happen, but with newer X even thats unlikely [20:14] maco: anyway so it is safe to dist-upgrade now right? [20:14] budgee: now, yes [20:14] budgee: never touch a running system [20:14] sure thing :) let's get cracking with that. [20:14] budgee: id be surprised if more than 10 bugs were fixed by official release time [20:14] antihc3, #freenode [20:14] budgee: maco andlets take 11.04 discussion into #ubuntu+1 [20:15] I am trying to get MPD to work but it has toruble opening the audio device so the MPD wikia says try chmod 770 /dev/snd -R && chgrp audio /dev/snd -R but i don;t have a /dev/snd . . does this mean MPD will not work for me? [20:15] b/j #ubuntu+1 [20:15] maco: Package Kdevelop is not available? [20:15] theuns: packages never have capital letters [20:15] tilc: Other answers include support for newer versions of applications, etc., but you could also counter with "I don't need a newer version of ". I guess it's up to you; a better question might be "What are worthwhile improvements between Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04 for a user who usually does ?" [20:15] sec_goat: leaving but mpd should work out of the box on ubuntu (it's setup to work with pulseaudio by default) [20:16] tilc: For example, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to view Youtube videos any more if I had stuck with 8.04 (I'm using 10.04), because of changes in the site. [20:16] sec_goat: you installed mpd from official ubuntu repositories using APT right? [20:16] jrib maybe my problemis that I am not using pulse audio to connect to it? [20:16] jrib sudo apt-get install mpd [20:16] sec_goat: you're not using pulse audio? [20:16] kwtm: as far as i use software, newer versions need more resorces [20:16] jrib: does it work on windows? or do I have to install pulse audio on the server too? [20:17] Right.. How the hell do i know if i have 64bit or 32bit through this? "Linux server 2.6.35-28-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 20:43:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux", i used uname -a [20:17] jrib i am using GMPC right now from my windows 7machine to try and connect to MPD on my server, shows all my mmusic just wont play [20:17] sec_goat: well first you should make sure mpd is working locally on your ubuntu machine [20:17] jrib any way to test tat remotely via CLI? [20:18] tilc: If you say so. Depends on the software. From time to time I see software become more streamlined. It sounds like you are saying that there are no particular features that are of benefit for you, so that you can categorically say that "needing more resources" is an uncompensated disadvantage. [20:18] sec_goat: I've never used it remotely on windows. You could do "mpc play" on the server but without speakers I guess that isn't too useful. Sorry, I must go (I'll be back in a few hours if you still need to troubleshoot) [20:18] jrib thanks man === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [20:19] Median, cat /proc/cpuinfo | flags and if there's a lm (long mode) flag anywhere in there you have 64bit [20:20] Command not found. [20:21] Good afternoon all! I was wondering a awesome backup/restore system for ubuntu 10.10 [20:22] Median, one sec, lemme check again [20:22] any one know of any? [20:22] if i type: service ssh start [20:22] do you guys prefer synaptic or apt-get? whats diff? i like apt-get because i can script my installs that way [20:22] Median: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags [20:22] i get a error (first line reads): start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call" [20:23] There's lm in there. [20:23] hello? [20:23] vng, thanks! [20:24] vng: But now i'm wondering, if the uname -a says i686, does that mean that i don't support 64-bit? Reaaally confused here, as system monitor shows me having 7gb and all. As i'm sure i have a 64-bit OS [20:24] wich is the command for PM? [20:24] I swear if Ubuntu 11.04 DOESNT FIX the frinking hibernation and suspend, Im leaving it!!! [20:24] ./query ? [20:25] ./query ? [20:25] werever: /msg [20:25] ok thanks [20:25] were too many years without use IRC =) [20:25] that was stupid:P [20:25] if i'm using a lot of wine emulation with ubuntu as my host, am i becoming more vulnerable to viruses and other malware due to the growing pressence of wine applications? [20:26] shhot mpc play from the local ubunut install also has problems opening the audio device [20:26] Median: if your cpu support 64-bit, you can use 64-bit OS [20:26] itilious: no, the growing presence of wine applications has no impact on your increasing vulnerability. [20:26] vng: Would the installer prevent me from installing 64 bit if i couldn't use it? [20:26] or do the exploits of windows security (zero day etc) not apply if its a linux hosting the emulation? [20:27] itilious: it depends on the nature of the vulnerability. [20:27] is there a way to attach a shortcut to double keypress. i want to bring up the terminal when i press the ctrl key twice. [20:27] Median: haven't tried it yet [20:27] HELP! [20:27] how do i push only the last commit to a new branch in bzr? [20:27] ayecee, mainly browser/email hijacking [20:27] vng: Now that i'm sure that i have 64 bit, why does java tell me this "Running a 64-bit JVM is not supported on this platform."? [20:28] but i dont use my browsers thru wine to browse, or any internet activity at that [20:28] levu, in git it is called cherry-pick [20:28] itilious:what do you use browsers for then? [20:28] levu, see if hg has such a thing, but i doubt it does [20:28] escott: thanks, i'll google with this keyword :) [20:28] itilious: I'm not sure what you're asking. I don't think you are either :) [20:28] is there a way to increase the size of the hotcorner of resizable windows? coming from win/mac it seems awfully small (1px) [20:29] zenergi, I could not agree more [20:29] kwtm: i used kubuntu before, but kde4 is a vista like. so im not sure about gnome [20:29] zenergi, resizing windows is hella annoying [20:29] zenergi, but i believe u can do it anywhere with the alt key [20:29] LAcan: :) It doesn't seem like it should be too hard to hack/modify? [20:29] mat789, i use firefox native to linux (not ie for example with wine) [20:30] zenergi, try holding alt.. im not in ubuntu right now [20:30] ayecee, i was wondering if security flaws in windows applications that need to be run via wine on linux still apply even tho the main platform is linux [20:30] itilious what is linux why [20:30] they broke hibernate/sleep again? it was broken for 10.10 for my thinkpad for awhile, but recently stable, but now with 11.04 broken again? [20:30] itilious: okay. the answer is yes, they can, sometimes. [20:31] i've heard of these "holes" in applications that can be used to access information in other parts of the machine, just curiosu if linux doesnt apply being the "host" [20:31] tilc: I took the jump over to KDE4 when I switched from 8.04 to 10.04. It does take some getting used to, and in a number of ways still is slightly worse than KDE3. It is better in other ways, but then everyone has a different weighting of how much that "being better" part is worth. [20:31] the unity ui is too crippling, i dont like it, will try kubuntu [20:31] good for grandmas, and tablets but not for a PC [20:32] just trying to give myself an excuse to not even use wine unless absolutely necessary lol [20:32] what is the side pannel which contain brower, home and other option ???? [20:32] tilc: I made the jump because it was the best time to make the jump. I didn't want to wait till the next LTS version when 8.04 would be completely obsolete. Now is the time while 8.04 still has support and you can fall back. Of course, I dual boot into 10.04 and 8.04. [20:32] only thing good about unity is it gives a bit more vertical space by merging the app top menu bar with the system bar at the top [20:32] tilc: I hear you can still install KDE3 on 10.04; not sure how official that is. Biggest change for me was using dbus instead of dcop. [20:32] Good afternoon all! I was wondering what a awesome backup/restore tool for ubuntu 10.10 [20:33] itilious: native applications can also have bugs. [20:33] Btw, I'm assuming that you use KDE and you know what I'm talking about. I got used to dbus because that's what my phone uses. [20:33] vng: Just nvm everything.. Seems like i got 32-bit for some damn reason, even though i'm sure that i installed 64-bit. Though my processor seems to support everything at least. [20:33] kwtm: my favourite wm was windowmaker :) and kde1 was an alternate [20:33] WarrenChild: sometimes it helps to rephrase your question if you don't get a response the first time. [20:33] I did rephrase it [20:33] lol [20:33] WarrenChild: i use backintime [20:33] what is the side pannel having browser,home page and other options in ubuntu???in ubuntu whats its specefic name???? [20:34] bilal, panel [20:34] I was looking at back in time but how do you restore? I am looking for something more like system restore for MS [20:34] I need to disable the trackpad to my usb wireless mouse works? [20:34] I want to restore my samba server, users and permissions, web server and everything [20:34] junixbr, nope [20:34] i'm trying to print a test page to my printer. the page comes out blank and i see the following in /var/log/messages http://paste2.org/p/1387772 [20:34] do i need to set permissions some where? [20:34] okay thx * && bye [20:35] LAcan: why it doesn't work? [20:35] m4xx: no, but you may have to disable the cups apparmor profile [20:35] or update it [20:35] LAcan: I didn't got any error in logs [20:35] junixbr, what kinda mouse is it? [20:35] how might i go about doing that?

[20:36] m4xx: I'm not sure, I've never had to do it [20:36] Median, if you want to make double sure you can see your cpu specs with sudo lshw [20:36] Hello.

[22:08] compubomb: apt-get just handles the fetching and dependency resolution. dpkg is what's doing the setup. -P is purge. it deletes all the files of that package, as though that package had never been installed [22:08] Hi...

[23:33] kwtm: Automatically installed, or installed as a dependency of another package rather than an explicit request from the user. [23:33] Al_nz1: There is also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510 [23:34] yes it is, but I don't want ~html/preventie/htdocs ... but the files inside htdocs to be there... so not preventie/htdocs/index.php but preventie/index.php [23:34] Jordan_U: Sorry? Were we having a previous conversation that this is continuing? [23:34] !ask | FishFace [23:34] FishFace: 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. :-) [23:34] *fishhat [23:34] ! mercurial [23:34] Jurgentje: then ln -s /source/htdocs/*.* /dest [23:35] is anybody know some good tutorial about iptables + samba or only iptables? [23:35] kwtm: Responding to " What does '{a}' mean?" [23:35] thanks th0r - that solved it :) [23:35] franciel he doesn't know anything about hg [23:35] Jurgentje: ?? Not sure what you mean. You mean you have real files ~/phprojekt-data/htdocs/File1 and you want there to be a symlink ~/html/preventie/File1 pointing to that real file? And same for File2 File3 etc.? Is that what you mean? [23:35] wizards: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [23:35] Jordan_U: I wasn't asking the question [23:36] kwtm, indeed. But th0r gave the answer. Kinda obvious, if I see it now :) (stupid I didn't think of it) [23:37] does anyone have any idea how to fix my problem? [23:37] Logan_: thx :) [23:37] wizards: You're welcome. [23:37] Jurgentje: Okay, well, if that is what you mean, you can use ln -s /source/htdocs/* I wouldn't use *.* since that may miss some files [23:38] Jurgentje: I mean, ln -s /source/htdocs/* /dest (in case I wasn't clear) [23:38] hi [23:38] yep, sound and clear ... thanks :) I actually did just * myself [23:38] dam85_: Did you get your question answered yet? [23:39] checking for kernel linux/autoconf.h... no that is what i get when i try to use the installer for my driver, how do i solve this?? [23:39] dam85_: '{a}' In aptitue means Automatically installed, or installed as a dependency of another package rather than an explicit request from the user. [23:39] hey there, for some cams you get :"invalid argument" if you do cat /dev/video0 . How can i read raw data from those cams ? [23:39] hey guys, it looks like OpenLDAP utilities are compiled with GnuTLS by default. Is there documentation that explains how to use OpenSSL instead? [23:39] kyle___: driver for what? [23:39] I wonder how mplayer can read /dev/video0 . I always thought it does some kind of a cat. [23:39] my audio card [23:40] Does MPD rely on the ubuntu hardware having a sound device? if so is there another alternative to stream music that is not subsonic? [23:40] kyle___: witch one? [23:40] ok im installing ubuntu on my netbook (non netbook version :( ...)and im stuck on the cdrom hardware fining page... how do i avoid it? [23:41] in integrated into my mother board, i have the driver from the manufaturer on a cd right here i run sh install its spits out a bunch of stuff and i read it all and that is where its failing [23:41] does anyone know what to install to get penetration testing routers to work? i was told that I did not need to run back track if I am just penetration testing routers [23:41] I've got a bash script that sets some environment variables, I'm just typing ./foo.sh why am I just getting a blank line afterwards [23:41] yeesh, firefox plugin-container seems to have some issues, perhaps while running chrome simultaneously [23:41] but when I type out the script on the command line the environment variables are created and set [23:41] I'm running in root [23:41] blix: what are you expectign? [23:42] blix, pastebin the script [23:42] also: #bash [23:42] how do i bring up the on screen keyboard? [23:42] nsh22: First, did you used Live Session to test it? Second, Are you connected to Internet while installing? [23:42] it's on another machine [23:42] well that's not helpful [23:42] no to both.... [23:42] is there a chan for webcam support in linux on irc other than v4l ? [23:42] the wireles adapter isnt working and i dont know how to run live session with this (its on a usb stick) [23:42] nsh22: Boot into LiveCD, and press Try Ubuntu. [23:42] nsh22: fining page ? [23:43] my typical fix for linux webcams: don't buy a cheap one [23:43] rhizoe - I'm expecting when I type echo $ the path for it shows [23:43] anyone? [23:43] blix: without the script i can't help [23:43] I solved my problems! [23:43] botcity, finding* [23:43] can understand [23:43] Logiar: you are a better person than me [23:43] I'll see what I can do to bring it over [23:43] qin, fpor some reason i dont have that option, im usig unetootin [23:43] blix, if your intention is to export #!/bin/bash; export foo="bar" that won't work anyways [23:43] is there a web service for sharing code? [23:43] unetbootin* [23:43] because it gets its own shell [23:44] blix: /j #bash (that will help) [23:44] blix, launch[pad, sourceforge [23:44] nsh22 - thanks [23:44] rather than doing the netboot with a windows machine as the server i set up a virtual ubuntu machine and used that [23:44] can someone help me do the following: http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/03/02/how-to-install-mac-theme-on-ubuntu-10-10/ [23:44] kyle___: i would always use the repos for drivers etc [23:44] kyle___: pastebin the output: http://pastebin.com/ [23:44] i already downloaded the file [23:44] qin - thanks too [23:45] jdm84: There is install script in gzip. [23:46] kyle___: also, what drivers for what hardware are you trying to install? [23:47] ok thanks! [23:47] ... [23:47] its a driver for my audio card [23:47] i run the installer [23:47] checking for kernel linux/autoconf.h... no that is what i get when i try to use the installer for my driver, how do i solve this?? [23:47] does the installer end in .exe? [23:47] lol [23:47] im not that new [23:48] i've seen people try that before, just had to check [23:48] pastebin all the output, that might help [23:48] kyle____: you probably need to install linux headers [23:48] lease install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution - that is what it says [23:48] so how would i do that? [23:49] here's the bash script: === vinilios is now known as testuua [23:49] http://snipt.org/xgpoi [23:50] blix, you have to source that you cant ./ it === Jeff_ is now known as Guest72798 [23:50] blix: A child process cannot change the environment of its parent. [23:51] so what can I do? [23:51] blix: When you run "./foo.sh" you are spawning a child process, another bash shell, which is then setting its own environment variables and exiting. [23:51] hello [23:51] blix you have to source it [23:51] Jordan_U - I see. [23:52] whats a better idea for vps os? 10.04 32 bit || 64 bit [23:52] blix: If you want those variables to affect the shell that you're currently running in then use "source foo.sh" which will run the commands in the current bash process. [23:53] ah great thanks - that worked. Thanks for the little theory there. [23:53] nsh22: your trying to install ubuntu on a netbook but its not the nbr version and its getting stuck . question why not the nbr version ? [23:54] botcity, because its the version i d/l'd. im downloading kubuntu netbook now... but imy connection sucks (it took 8 hours to torrent ubuntu...) === nypan is now known as MrMad [23:57] anyone has any experience with Valgrind? [23:58] sudo -s [23:58] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to disable low battery warnings in ubuntu? === deezy is now known as Deezy_IQ0 [23:58] Hi all. I recently changed swap partitions, and I'm having trouble getting hibernation to work again. I can hibernate, but resume fails and it goes on with a normal boot. I get roughly this on the console while booting: "swapon: /dev/sdb4: software suspend data detected. Rewriting the swap signature. / Invalidating stale software suspend images... done." What can I do about that? [23:59] hola [23:59] CoffeeChair: the one that tells you that you are out of energy soon or the one teling you to change the old battery [23:59] jpk, is /dev/sdb4 the old swap partition [23:59] ! ldap [23:59] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
