[00:00] ok wasabi [00:00] ??? [00:00] perlsyntax: sorry, I have no personal experience with that particular lan card..... did google reveal any good docs on that card with ubunut? [00:00] when I first turn on my netbook, the computer heats up, but the fan never turns on. Sensors say core temp is only 17 C [00:00] Maarten, it can be resized to 32px [00:00] If I reboot, the fan then turns on and sensors say temp is 56-61 C [00:00] idid some googleing not much came up. === epitr1n is now known as epitron [00:00] I'm attempting to PXE boot the Ubuntu liveCD, but I'm having problems after my NFS share is initially mounted; following this guide > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot [00:01] i think i've messed up compiz. i no longer have window borders [00:01] so no one know anything about wlan-ng? [00:01] I'm guessing the grub2 with natty isn't good enough to boot off of a MD device, is it?

[00:03] crazedpsyc: looks ok.... I am just not quite convinced yet. I am a little spartan when it comes to gui's I guess :) [00:03] May 5 22:36:44 ubuntu ubiquity: SystemError: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList <---- can that make the installer crasch ? [00:03] again, X -configure fails with the error "Number of created screens does not match number of created devices.", what do I do? [00:03] Andy_C: Feel clueless. [00:03] lol i give up [00:03] are there any compiz experts around that can help me get my window borders back? [00:03] Here is a link to the broadcom site that explains how to install their linux driver [00:03] http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt [00:03] wow ubuntu, you have outfucked yourself with 11.04 [00:03] Maarten, the panel can be adjusted to 0.0 opacity, makes it look great on top of a wallpaper === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [00:04] !language | Da|Mummy [00:04] Da|Mummy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:04] Da|Mummy: Hm, I like Natty [00:04] ubuntu already has that driver precompiled in the repository [00:04] sorry [00:04] Maarten, the dash is way easier to use, and more productive than the old gnome menus [00:04] anyway, ive got no sound in flash now, whats the deal? [00:05] so is it safe to assume that the additional drivers program is installing everything correctly [00:05] or do I need to go in and blacklist some drivers, etc [00:05] crazedpsyc: but it lacks a few important features like window lists [00:05] I installed ubuntu with an 8gb swap file. Is this overkill? [00:05] so === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [00:05] cntrational, window lists? whaddaya mean? [00:05] axewer: no need for that big of a swap, how much RAM do you have? [00:05] On Ubuntu server, how can I get fget? [00:05] crazedpsyc: hm, well, have you used Windows 7/OS X? [00:06] where can i get an anti-virus for ubuntu 11.4? [00:06] you don't normally need one? [00:06] Guest46116: don't need one [00:06] !antivirus [00:06] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:06] cntrational, a bit [00:06] Guest46116: you dont really need an AV [00:06] 4gb. but I assumed you always needed to double the size of the swap with however much ram you had. [00:07] Hello. I cant get my Laserjet 1018 to print out a page with the number of printed pages on it. Ubuntu 10.04 [00:07] crazedpsyc: you know how a list of window thumbnails pops-up when you hover over an icon in the Win7 taskbar? [00:07] i managed to transfer a virus from ubuntu to windows because ununtu somehow put a virus on my flash drive :{ [00:07] thanks everyone . iwasn't sure [00:07] axewer: lol no. swap is only used it you run out of ram, 1-2gb should be more than enough [00:07] cntrational, Oh, yeah.. The really do need to put that in [00:07] Da|Mummy: ubuntu didn't put anything on your flash drive. you put it there. [00:07] *they [00:07] if you already have 4gb of ram, what more could you possibly use [00:07] it talks about how the wl driver (whatever that is) will not work correctly if the ssb module is loaded [00:08] anyway, ive got no sound in flash now, whats the deal? [00:08] I hate broadcom... [00:08] syrinx_: Hahh big mistake then. Can I move that extra space into my ubuntu partition w/ out messing up grub? [00:08] crazedpsyc: yeah, without it, there's already a bunch of problems; e.g. I have one nautilus window minimized -- how do I check what it is without switching to it? [00:08] I have 8 Gb of RAM, and made a 2 Gb swap partition.... seemed good enough for me,. [00:10] axewer: you can unmount the swap, resize it with gparted, and use it somewhere else, yes. boot into the livecd/usb to do it, so you can unmount everything safely [00:10] I might wipe my 10.10 install on this comp, and install 11.04 on another though.... although I am still not entirely convinced about Unity. We'll see :) [00:10] how do i keep unity always showing? [00:10] cntrational, agreed. I wonder if there is an idea on brainstorm for that yet... [00:10] Da|Mummy, you mean the unity launcher? [00:10] ya [00:11] Da|Mummy, You have to change an option in ccsm [00:11] jgould: I am rapidly becoming unfond of broadcom myself [00:11] syrinx_: thanks. goodbye............... [00:11] Hello.

[00:14] crazedpsyc, ;) [00:14] crazedpsyc: ccsm is the common acronym for it but the package has been and still is compizconfig-settings-manager. there is a simple-ccsm package also [00:14] oh shit didnt realize it waz a support channel [00:15] Da|Mummy, the command is actually 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' [00:15] IdleOne, ccsm is the command to run it too, thats what confused me [00:15] Hi all, which file sharing/hosting service would you suggest to send a file of 136MB in size? [00:15] where can i get an anti-virus for ubuntu 11.4? [00:16] Guest46116: search for clamAV in the Software Centre [00:16] didn't you just ask that [00:16] are there ubuntu viruses? [00:16] Why would I? I have a stereo in my car [00:16] tepster: yeah, but they're very rare [00:17] tepster, linux viruses are more theoretical then actually out in the wild [00:17] !list [00:17] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

Video and Audio going via HDMI to receiver then to TV. Video blanks after few mins and will not recover. Please help. [00:17] ZykoticK9: ? why [00:18] cntrarional, what do you mean more popular? LNX is the #1 webserver OS [00:18] lord help me...i cant even figure out how to run terminal from this whole unity thing [00:18] cntrational, "owning" a server would be much more appealing then a desktop, and linux servers don't have a virus issue (though they dominate the market) [00:18] my wireless networking is on the fritz since upgrading to natty... ad hoc connection never comes up so i can share my mobile broadband [00:19] cntrational, linux is more secure by default, then the OS with the virus issues (there is basically only on OS manufacturer with a real virus issue) [00:19] spankbot, ZykoticK9: hm, fair point [00:19] is there a way to reset everything? [00:19] Da|Mummy: type terminal in the search box [00:19] s/on/one [00:19] nothing easier than that? [00:19] Da|Mummy: then you can pin it to the dashboard [00:19] can someone help with a network issue? [00:19] although i just added it to launcher... [00:20] mikeb123: don't ask to ask. just ask [00:20] Da|Mummy: Control+Alt+T [00:20] ok so now why dont i have sound in flash? [00:20] cntrational, no, I see your point too, in reference to the home user, your right about desktop visibility, LNX does not compare in numbers against Win/Mac [00:20] what irc program is best to use in ubuntu [00:20] xchat [00:20] spankbot: yeah [00:20] can someone running 10.04 (64) get a checksum for me using this command: shasum /usr/bin/apt-get [00:20] I need to in a one line command switch to root user and run a command, but that command relys on environment variable from the root user, so generally I have to do 'sudo su' then '/path/to/command' [00:21] i using it now but i dont see the peoples nick on right side [00:21] where can i find what wireless radio type im connected to (N or G) in ubuntu? [00:21] it seems most people use xchat [00:21] cntrational: I'm thinking, if Linux needs to become more popular, I think the different distro's need to get together and come up with 1 installation standard.... replace .deb, .rpm, .whatever install files with a ".bin" (which already exists somewhat) that will install on ALL distros. Then commercial and game companies can come up with a one-click installer..... and that might bring more games to linux! :) [00:21] I'm trying to install dropbox from the source code, when I install the dependency : libnautilius-extension-dev, and run ./configure, it tells me that docutils was not found. what Can I do ? [00:21] anyway, Linux anti-viruses are still useful -- you can scan Windows partitions using them [00:21] cntrational: are they actually effective at finding anything though? [00:21] nerdshell: or you could just install the prebuilded packages they provide [00:21] Jason-, i dont know what xchat youre using, but i see nicks on right side [00:21] KM0201: yeah [00:21] Maarten, choice is a good thing - no OS can be one size fits all [00:21] I need to in a one line command switch to root user and run a command, but that command relys on environment variable from the root user, so generally I have to do 'sudo su' then [00:21] Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: http://goo.gl/cEF1w | IRC info: http://goo.gl/Pgv9o | Pastes to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 | Release Notes: http://goo.gl/tuSzO | Download: http://goo.gl/Ov56 [00:21] cntrational: i knew you *could* do it.. didn't know how effective they were though.... never had to as 'dows is banished here [00:22] Jason- irssi saved my irc'ing life ;) , check it http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [00:22] oops [00:22] trobrock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:23] KM0201: thanks -i did it [00:23] petisnnake, 11.04? [00:23] Jason-, try redownloading from download center [00:24] ZykoticK9: yeah you got a point..... I just think Linux isn't going to grow much if all distro's keep in their own little corners..... We need to get game companies on board. 99% of games are pure data, only 1% is actual windows coding to run all that data..... but the differences between all the distros make it impossible for game companies to come up with releases for "generic linux". That's a shame. :( [00:24] S4RY: ? [00:24] maniak: 10.04 [00:24] Jason-: probaly installed 'gnome-xchat' ¿ just install normal xchat [00:24] petisnnake, what graphics card are you using "lspci | grep -i vga" from a terminal if you aren't sure. [00:24] i using x chat-gnome 0.26.1 [00:24] Zykotick9: winfast 460 gtx [00:24] yep thats the one [00:24] idont like it [00:24] where can i find what wireless radio type im connected to (N or G) in ubuntu? [00:24] petisnnake, i've never heard of winfast before - best of luck. [00:24] how do i get another one withnicks list on right side [00:25] winfast must be the manufacturer, you mean the nvidia one? [00:25] maniak: yes [00:25] zykes-: i could be wrong, but i think they are based on Intel [00:25] Maarten, ever seen binary linux installs? they're out there, they aren't really "packaged" at all. [00:25] ZykoticK9: sorry.. nvidia (see abovve) [00:25] petisnnake, and there are no restricted drivers? [00:25] *pokes around* anyone good at compiling Wine? [00:25] mikeb123: iwconfig [00:25] maniak: no, the window is completely empty [00:26] syrinx: thanks [00:26] petisnnake, well I'm no expert but you could try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [00:26] !nouveau | petisnnake [00:26] petisnnake: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia [00:27] ZykoticK9: Oh yeah, VMWare is a good example, it is a binary install that works on most, if not all distros. Either way, they only real reason I keep Windows installed on my systems.... is gaming. I have limited succes with Wine with some games, and they just run better in Windows 7. I just Wish the gaming industry would make Native Linux games more. :( [00:27] nevermind [00:27] KM0201, um, I've heard of these Intel/Nvidia hybrid cards - my understanding is they have little to no linux support (I hope I'm wrong), good luck petisnnake [00:27] we don't even know fo rsure he has an nvidia chipset yet..... [00:27] Can anyone help me compile Wine? I don't want to screw anything up [00:27] Zykotick9 ty :) [00:27] and people are telling him to install noveau [00:27] maniak: thanks aill do that right away [00:27] The gtx 460 is an nvidia one [00:27] I have the same card [00:28] maniak: ok. [00:28] i have nvidia gfx, and it only asked to install additional drivers after the first reboot after getting the whole natty installation done [00:28] AaeRohn: or you could just install the package from repository [00:28] but once i installed said driver, i got no sound on flash, related? [00:28] Da|Mummy: probably not [00:28] Xangua: I'm trying to get League of Legends to work [00:28] so whats my problem then? [00:28] maniak: The problem is my network drivers are also lacking since I have to wait 10 seconds for a page to load [00:28] Da|Mummy: most likely need to update flash [00:28] how can you access SMB shares from the terminal in Ubuntu 11? In Ubuntu 10, you could just navigate to ~/.gvfs/ , but that seems to be disabled now. [00:29] Da|Mummy, 64 bit? [00:29] Xangua: and the new patch prevents it from even running [00:29] it was working fine before reboot [00:29] 32bit [00:29] i had to reboot because i installed nvidia drivers, and no i have no sound in flash [00:29] firefox nor chrome [00:29] uninstall the driver, restart, etc. see if it comes back [00:30] if it does, then it's the driver [00:30] Da|Mummy: i dobut its related to the ggraphics driver.. check your sound levels, make sure you're not muted, etc [00:30] audacios works [00:30] petisnnake, did you try fiddling with connection settings? [00:30] what does a segmentation fault usually mean? [00:30] Da|Mummy, sounds flash related then [00:30] maniak: nope, dont even know where to start [00:30] Could someone running 64-bit 10.04 tell me there current checksum for /usr/bin/apt-get [00:31] problem with HDMI please help [00:31] IRC question, Im on a channel that requires a registered Nickname, I registered mine and now I'm accessing it from another machine and it's saying I cannot send messages [00:31] Hey everyone, I'v installed Natty on an older laptop that didn't have support for compiz, but when I installed the graphics drivers and ran compiz from terminal it worked fine. How do I get Unity to be used as default again? [00:31] there i got it now [00:31] i went to the search irc and it was in there as x-chat [00:31] petisnnake, should be a network icon right next to the sound icon in the top left panel. Clicking on it should give you an option of editing the settings [00:31] If anybody can help me compile Wine correctly, here's the appdb explaining what needs to be done...

[00:48] well if unity is simplier i wanted to run it as the gui of an ubuntu server, but if not, then plain gnome is enough [00:48] help [00:49] Trel: > /dev/null [00:49] ahh [00:49] is unity lightweight enough to run as a server GUI? [00:49] cablop: that would be a HUGE waste of RAM for a server [00:49] better off not even running X [00:49] bruce_: ask your problem [00:49] cablop: if you have accelerated graphics on your server, i guess? [00:49] cablop, Unity is not lightweight, check out lxde [00:49] syrinx_: does it eat too much RAM? [00:49] :) [00:49] first time using a terminal irc [00:50] genewitch: what if I didn't launch it with that? [00:50] cablop: alot more than anything else; that would be highly impractical for a server your just going to ssh into [00:50] mmm i want to run it on nx, or vnc or any other similar thing... [00:50] Trel: use screen or something next time [00:50] I'm going to [00:50] I'm in the process of reading the manual for that [00:50] how do i change color peoples font color if i have made a background color dark [00:50] Trel: switch terminals, for now [00:50] syrinx_: well, we got used to remotely use a GUI on the server, but not needing acceleration [00:51] Hello everyone [00:51] cablop: you can install a lightweight WM, or LXDE [00:51] cablop: you don't need a gui installed on the server, the vnc /remote desktop stuff runs on the client machine [00:51] is Unity 2D supposed to present the menu when you cursor the left side of the screen? Mind works only when i move to the top left corner [00:51] cablop: install xorg and whatever desktop you want, it shouldn't affect the server [00:52] cablop, usually you don't need a graphical frontend for a server machine not even X. you can administer trough ssh [00:52] i can just disable gdm to avoid starting it, but afaik, just the gdm is not weating resources [00:52] Can anyone help me? I'm havin problems installing ubuntu server 10.04.2. The cd always shows an error of corrupted files. [00:52] broadcom wifi not working after natty upgrade, can someone tell me what to pastebin so i can make a phone call? [00:52] i know i can administer via ssh, but i need some users to perform tasks, they need a gui [00:52] cablop: you can install whatever GUI you want. [00:53] cablop: it runs on the remote machine, not the server [00:53] it's not windows, where it's sending pictures. [00:53] genewitch: and how you open it remotely? [00:53] cablop: you run ssh with -X and then type gdm or whatever [00:53] genewitch, i think you are a little confused, VNC would require a GUI on the server [00:53] vnc and nx run it somehow in the server [00:53] ZykoticK9: nosir [00:54] genewitch, ssh is different, and you would be correct [00:54] geekmaster, rund a sudo lshw -c network and show the results [00:54] hello! i just installed 11.04, and would really love to browse through some tutorial about Unity (since i cant get much work done when i dont know how to use it...:) ) [00:54] but in the other hand i remembered i used to open the remote firefox locally, using local resources [00:54] ZykoticK9: vnc can run on a non-physical display like 0:2 [00:54] pirx: omg!ubuntu! blog has a tutorial [00:54] genewitch, and what would vnc be showing? a terminal? [00:55] two ways of accomplishing the same thing. vnc would show whatever gui you told 0:2 to have [00:55] then... if i ssh to the server and launch gedit, for example, i spawn it locally, right? [00:55] rach0, sorry, I'm not with the actual hardware right now. [00:55] cablop: on the ssh client command line [00:55] you need to have an x server on the remote machine [00:55] ok, but from windows they'll need the gui in the server if they use a nx client [00:55] xangua: link? [00:55] ZykoticK9: i might be thinking of xvnc [00:56] pirx: google omg!ubuntu! [00:56] cablop: no, they need an x server. there are a few free ones, xorg makes one that runs on windows, cygwin has one, etc [00:56] i liked nx, it is not oss, but it works [00:56] geekmaster, oh ok. though it's strange the last time i had problems with broadcom wifi was 10.04. the new drivers are top-notch [00:56] is xangua a bot? [00:56] oh, then a windows x-server... good enough [00:56] rach0: not working for me, the broadcom wifi [00:57] rach0, but maybe you can tell me. Do I required a CD or can I use a cd-rw to burn the iso? [00:57] rach0: i even have the restricted drivers installed and the connection is greyed out on 1.04 [00:57] Hello. Are there any ways to configure nautilus to run in a single workspace when running under fluxbox? [00:57] 11.04* [00:57] pirx: just a guy that doesn't know all the url's in the world, google does ;) === james is now known as Guest12458 [00:58] JoeMcc, not that I'm aware of... good luck. [00:58] genewitch: ok, suppose i run it inside a virtual desktiop or remote view or whatever is it called, via vnc or nx or even teamviewer, then between unity and gnome... gnome, right? [00:58] genewitch, generally there shouldn't be any difference if you use a plain cd or cd-rw. can you state the model of your wi-fi card? [00:58] xangua: ah, "!omg!ubuntu" was an actual website. it looked like some kind or irc-command to me:) [00:58] rach0: wasn't my question :-) [00:58] One last question, when you have a process screen'd can you send a command to it without actually going back into that screen? [00:59] syrinx_: is lxde much different than gnome? [00:59] Trel: no... terminals don't work that way [00:59] genewitch, yeah i saw :) it's 3 a.m. and i'm a little sleepy [00:59] genewitch: ok, suppose i run it inside a virtual desktiop or remote view or whatever is it called, via vnc or nx or even teamviewer, then between unity and gnome... gnome, right? [00:59] Damn. [00:59] so, I'd reattach the session, then do the command? [00:59] cablop, look for some screenshots - it's certainly different [00:59] Trel: you use screen so you can detach and have something running in the background and come back to it from a different computer or terminal [00:59] rach0, ups, I believe I used the wrong terms to explain my problem. I burned the Ubuntu server 10.0.2 to a CD-RW and while installing the base system... [00:59] a file corruption message appears. [00:59] cablop: not really, no [01:00] Trel: screen to start, ctrl-a-d to close it, screen -raAd to reinstate the previous screen session [01:00] genewitch: would screen -d -r also work? [01:01] geekmaster, it could be a bad cd. try burning a new one, run an test and reinstall [01:01] nvm [01:02] that was a stupid question [01:03] Trel: -raAd. been using that for years. [01:04] i really need to figure out this wifi thing it's driving me nuts and i can't get any work done [01:04] Hey guise Gvim wasnt working so I did sudo apt-get purg gvim and reinstalled it [01:04] Now whenever I try to open up gvim it doesnt work [01:04] I dont have the icon anymore [01:05] and it says its installed [01:05] did you try to open a terminal and type gvim? [01:06] how do i downgrade to 10.10? 11.04 keeps crashing when i play video [01:06] FHtrain: reinstall [01:07] rach0, Yes i did. [01:07] ZykoticK9: FYI I found a workaround for my problem: "nautilus --no-desktop --browser" with fullscreen is damn near what I need [01:07] JoeMcc, nice - thanks. [01:08] xangua, i dont have a 10.10 dvd [01:08] where can i find settings or smt like this in the new ubuntu [01:08] JoeMcc, i didn't fully understand your initial question then - I figured you wanted nautilus desktop working in one workspace [01:08] FHtrain: download it then [01:08] preferences or something [01:08] xangua, can you recommend a safe site for downloading it? [01:09] FHtrain: ubuntu.com [01:10] FordPrefect, uninstall and install again [01:10] I've done that several times. [01:11] Yeah I'm sure I don't always use the proper language, In icon mode in full screen, i can do all i need in one workspace for file management, and keep the others free. (the fluxbox menu gets over-ridden by nautilus which was the start of my confusion) [01:11] FordPrefect, does running gvim from a terminal give any error messages? [01:11] where is the option to downgrade to 10.10 on ubuntu.com? [01:11] It doesn't do anything at all in terminal. [01:11] FHtrain, there is no downgrade, other then a reinstall [01:11] I type it in terminal and then there is a big space tab in terminal [01:11] Like I could type this: [01:12] Gvim [01:12] [01:12] [01:12] FordPrefect: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] has anyone here installed ubuntu on acer aspire one [01:12] FordPrefect, have you tried with a lowercase g like gvim? [01:12] ZykoticK9, reinstall 10.10 you mean? [01:12] Are there any program launchers which work well under fluxbox? [01:12] could anyone help me apahce2/ssl getting TLS to work? [01:12] FHtrain, are you currently on 11.04 and want to return to 10.10? [01:13] ZykoticK9, yes [01:13] FHtrain, reinstall then... sorry for the bad news [01:14] !downgrade > FHtrain [01:14] FHtrain, please see my private message [01:14] FordPrefect, try this and updatedb && locate gvim [01:14] hi. i have played around with apt-get and did something like "apt-get remove --purge python*", it gave me some error but nothing happened. am I fine with my system? [01:14] I will thanks rach0 [01:14] rach0, "whereis gvim" is easier ForceDestroyer [01:14] no packages were selected for removal or something? [01:15] tab fail :( [01:16] tomekh, because you were not root why you wanna remove python ? [01:16] hiexpo: i did that with sudo [01:17] hiexpo: i just was experimenting [01:17] ZykoticK9, i didnt have 10.10 before installing 11.04. i had an older version of ubuntu. does that matter? [01:17] tomekh, you need pythongood thing it did not remove [01:18] fifth reboot seemed to fix my wireless [01:18] hiexpo: how can i check that it didn't select some packages for removal? [01:18] FHtrain, in order to upgrade you can only do one version at a time, so if you upgraded to 11.04, you had to go to 10.10 first... [01:18] my phone is still having issues [01:18] is there any command for this kind of operation? [01:18] FHtrain, irrelevant to the fact that downgrades are non-supported [01:18] tomekh, the output would have told you [01:19] hiexpo: tha's the point. i've seen some messages like "selected package xyz for removal" or so [01:19] ZykoticK9, i guess i must have done a fresh install, i dont recall [01:20] hi I recently uprgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 and i am unable to use Unity I am only able to go in using classic ubuntu I know this is a NVIDa related issue im sure Im using a GEforce FX 5200 the additional drivers thing says my driver is activated but not in use. I saw a similar bug and tried the resolutions which didnt work. any suggestions guys? [01:20] ZykoticK9, ok thanks. i'm just having trouble playing video on 11.10. maybe i should just wait it out [01:20] 11.04 i meant [01:20] FHtrain, lol - 11.10 i was gonna ask what interface that uses ;) [01:20] lol === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:21] Big_Mig: What driver do you have loaded? [01:22] @ratcheer, says version 173 [01:22] Say, is it normal for b43-fwcutter to install, and not actually offer to extract the firmware from anything? [01:22] I install it, and nothing happens. [01:22] Didn't it used to actually prompt, in dpkg-reconfigure? [01:23] Ubuntu is asking me to install an untrusted package when I try to download Gvim [01:23] from the Ubuntu Software Centre [01:23] Big_Mig: Ok, as long as it is the latest release, that should be good. I'll try to look it up. [01:23] How big is the risk? [01:23] thank you, im not positive my issue is the same as the bug reported [01:24] my wireless connection is not detected after upgrading to 11.04 [01:24] Big_Mig: The latest release is 173.14.30 dated Apr 20 [01:25] is there any way i can install 10.10 and get most of the updates except for the dist-upgrade? [01:25] rtl8192e wireless controller on samsung netbook. anyone help? [01:25] big noob here, how do i check mine I am looking in additional drivers and see verison 173 [01:25] ChronicSyncope: 10.10 will only be supported for one more year i believe [01:26] Guest92022, open a termianl and type sudo lshw -c network and give us the result [01:26] wow i just downloaded an avatar without my authorization [01:26] no matter what i do im not able to install ubuntu server, ive tried on 2 diferent pc's and in vmfuion on a mac and nothing is working, anyone have any experiance with ubuntu server? [01:26] not sure about right place anyway realplayer in windows installs downloader for videos on the net ex.youtube have real Jeffsi, there is an #ubuntu-server channel [01:27] o [01:27] alright thanks [01:27] helo [01:27] does anyone have problems with TLS on 11.04 [01:27] ? [01:27] Big_Mig: In the system menu, there should be an nvidix x server settings app. Run it and it should tell you your version. Or, you could run "aptitude show nvidia-graphics-drivers-173" [01:27] cntb, firefox addon video download helper [01:28] i got unable to locate that package. what do i type in terminal to fetch it. sorry weak command line skills [01:29] how do i get unity bar to always show? [01:29] Is there a way to force Banshee to transcode music to, say, OGG when copying it to a media player? [01:30] Da|Mummy, open ccsm click on the unity plugin [01:30] in X server settings it says I AM using 173.14.30 [01:30] You might be able to run the same command with apt-get instead of aptitude, but since I don't use apt-get, I don't know for sure. [01:30] does it hurt to try anyway? [01:30] Da|Mummy, I believe if you set that to "Never" it stays on the deskto [01:30] dsktop === mike is now known as Guest243 [01:31] Big_Mig: Oh, then according to X Server Settings, you do have the latest release for Natty. [01:31] ratcheer: Big_Mig: the equivalent is "apt-cache show ..." [01:31] unforgiven512, no you would need sound converter or the like to do that [01:31] arand: Thanks [01:31] what the... [01:31] i disabled unity, now i cant even minimize xchat... [01:33] so, if I do have the correct version, what do I do like I said the driver says its activated but not in use [01:33] i tried disabling and reinstall [01:33] Da|Mummy: do you mean the unity plugin in ccsm? you need to leave that on [01:33] ok so where do i set it so it always shows? [01:33] Big_Mig: I believe that message is erroneous, i.e., its a bug. [01:33] When I look on my processes, I see that there is like 30-50 instances of some processes. [01:33] instead of minimizing [01:33] and [01:34] Da|Mummy: inside the plugin settings, there's a "hide launcher" option. set it to never [01:34] gotcha. im I out of luck for the time being? [01:35] where are you seeing this plugin setting in ccsm? [01:35] Da|Mummy: click on the text, "ubuntu unity plugin," that resides within ccsm. it has the purple ubuntu logo next to it. then it's in that screen [01:35] Big_Mig: No, I think everything is ok with your video driver. It is supposed to support the latest X.Org server in Natty. I don't know if your card can handle Unity 3D, though. [01:35] oh i see...thx [01:36] that must be the case then. [01:36] i appreciate your help [01:36] a little disappointed [01:37] Big_Mig: If you have a PC where you can open the case and install a new video card, you can get a much nicer card in the $40 range. [01:38] I'm using Unity on a 915GM. Works, once I forced "intel" instead of "fbdev". [01:38] yeah, this is like a 7 yr old desktop wife wont let me install linux on her laptop but I will buy a new desktop eventually [01:38] 7 yr old desktop wife.... just kidding. [01:38] lol [01:39] Lack of punctuation. =þ [01:39] ok why wont the bar move to the bottom? [01:39] Big_Mig: Heh heh. My PC is 6&1/2 years old and I recently installed a new nvidia GT430. [01:39] what am i doing wrong now? [01:39] Big_Mig, can you see the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:39] coz_, isn't the ubuntu version of java a bit out dated? [01:40] giacomo_c, hey guy ok open synatpic package manager [01:40] help me out rach8 where do i retrieve that [01:40] Is there an alternative to Unity super key + NUMBER to launch/switch applications for Ubuntu Classic?

[01:44] FHtrain, you could install 10.04 and upgrade I believe [01:44] coz_, i'm not seeing sun-java anything [01:44] FHtrain, wait actually there is a place ,, let me see if I can find it [01:44] well, there's sun-javadb [01:44] Big_Mig, no you didn't. There was a bug with some nvidia cards connected to the memory allocation but i guess it's not that after it gave you a empty prompt [01:44] Big_Mig: No, it just didn't find what he had you looking for. [01:44] coz_, they offer 10.04.2,but not 10.10 [01:44] giacomo_c, is this ubuntu 11.04? [01:44] coz_, yup [01:44] FHtrain, hold on [01:44] why the hell is it when I try to remove synaptic apt-get tries to install a ton of shit??

[02:18] ...i'll move the server to the real machine things will keep working the same)... sounds good enough?

[02:19] low_cpu: Oh, in that case, it is possible to install via chrooting, however it is rather tricky, I'm not sure if you can use ubiquity i´on a running install. [02:19] low_cpu, YMMV but I get better results with fresh installs than with "live" upgrades. [02:19] What do you suggest I do about the unresponsive Gvim ? [02:19] expecto, the reason I ask is if something you recently installed slowed your system down, you can use software-center and use history to see what may have been installed [02:19] xangua I put the pakage list or only the name ?

[02:39] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [02:39] err [02:39] hylian, I followed the steps as in editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom into what I wanted, sudo update-grub, and grub.cfg shows what I want it seems. However, upon boot, the grub 2 menu does not match up [02:39] Kane`: because a usb flash drive is not a carom drive [02:39] whoops, nvidia-current is already the "latest" [02:39] carom drive*, it needs to mount a physics filesystem from a cd [02:39] physical* [02:39] techhelper1, obviously. the installer asks if i want to load the shit from my removable media. i choose yes and that failes [02:39] "nvidia-current is already the newest version." is what I got. [02:39] go to nvidia they are starting to support linux and add there ppa's [02:40] nessonic, i am pretty sure you can no longer directly edit files, unlike grub 1. this might be the reason why. where you trying to remove an entry, move them around, set another os as the default boot?

[02:40] could anyone help me with this stupid grub 21 error im getting. [02:41] The problem is that the system chooses the open source driver to load at boot time when it has the choice [02:41] been trying to fix it all day [02:41] not that the nvidia-current package is old [02:41] XGD_Vicious, tell us, what's the error?

[02:43] XGD_Vicious, i will look into that for you, give me a second... [02:43] hiexpo: rephrase that please? [02:43] sudo reboot now with a wall msg that isn't nice enough to post here [02:43] thanks mate [02:43] hylian, I'm trying to move them around. Guides online say for grub 2, you edit the etc/grub.d files, then update-grub, and it configures grub.cfg for you [02:43] s0|: ha. K :) [02:43] been researching it all day. lots of people have been getting it [02:44] I don't really like it when that box looses it's GUI, the dell monitor attached to it keeps "auto-adjusting" stuff off the screen. [02:44] btw i have backtrack installed onto an external drive [02:44] s0|: ha. I take it that the graphics did not come back? [02:44] but only does that when it's on CLI. so I assume now that it's rebooted and I am back at CLI I should ... reinstall stuff? [02:45] edbian, no love yet. [02:45] s0|: What do you mean you assume? [02:45] hello, I updated to ubuntu 11.04 and I tried to boot but grub was messed up, how can I fix it??? [02:45] yo guyz [02:45] wassap [02:45] nessonic, hmmm, i think your right. let me take a look at that.. [02:45] hey man [02:45] edbian, I am guessing that the next steps, that is what I ment by assume. [02:45] edbian, i wrote a kernal patch and submitted it to nvividia they are using it :) for the the 2.6.38.5 and it works great [02:45] hiexpo: Do you have a suggestion for s0| ? [02:45] guyz.... i was using unity for one week [02:45] s0|: I'd be interested in seeing lspci -k again. And your xorg log [02:46] and i like unity a lot, but i switched back to gnome [02:46] lscpi is going to change after that ? [02:46] cause i miss 2 things [02:46] s0|: It should list a different driver in use by the card now. [02:46] i really like to see al the open windows in a bar [02:46] s0|: It should list nvidia instead of nouveau [02:46] XGD_Vicious, it sounds like you either have a problem with a device mismatch, are you running any sata drives with ide? this is just a plain dell tower, right? [02:46] . [02:46] s0|: When you boot the machine does the screen go black or X crashes or? [02:46] edbian, try that patch itcovers many nvidia cards and ati also add the repos [02:47] grub was messed up after updating, how can I fix it??? [02:47] edbian, it goes so fast and the dell monitor puts have the scroll off the screen. [02:47] hiexpo: Tell s0| How to do that :) I have no idea what repo or where the patch is [02:47] yeah dell dimension e521 [02:47] we are going to have to check logs. [02:47] can somebody explain me something about unity... is it created by human interaction design? [02:47] wathcing this thing boot is a waste of effort. [02:47] s0|: Where does it stop? At a cli prompt to log in? Do you see X start and crash? [02:47] any no sata drives with IDE [02:47] CLI prompt [02:47] s0|: what if you log in and run sudo gdm [02:48] one sec let me paste bin again [02:48] !unity [02:48] CaveMan: you can find a tutorial on omg!ubuntu! blog [02:48] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [02:48] s0|: Or ctrl + alt + F7 [02:48] s0|: k [02:48] hi any suggestion on how to install and use gnome3 on ubuntu 10.10 [02:48] i use an ATI radeon hd 4670 [02:48] http://pastebin.com/8dmVbbC3 [02:48] !gnome3 [02:48] amin__: use the Experimental PPA on your own risk [02:48] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. [02:49] xangua, are you using unity? [02:49] CaveMan: no [02:49] s0|: Still using nouveau ! [02:49] why not? [02:49] Problem [02:49] i'm basically going off of a totally stock ufw install, with the only rules i figure are to avoid logging info about certain noisy things and drop obvious things like invalid packets. so my syslog is full of these: "May 5 17:00:33 ubuntu kernel: [202917.172742] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00 SRC=192.168.1.4 DST=192.168.1.255 LEN=186 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=2190 DPT=2190 [02:49] LEN=166 " so i added "-A ufw-after-input -p udp --dport 2190 -j RETURN" but it doesn't seem to be working. here is my iptables-save: http://pastebin.com/B4pgF9kn [02:49] here comes the x0rg log. [02:49] hello, where can I find info on how to restore grub? I am running from a live-cd and I need to fix the boot loader... [02:49] s0|: k [02:50] but i have a litle problem, cause i am promoting ubuntu extremely the last year by friends, familie and knowledges people [02:50] !grub2 | ubuntu [02:50] ubuntu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [02:50] http://pastebin.com/Bm1gkNbG [02:50] btw hylian dont know if it makes a difference but the external hardrive i have backtrack on is ran through IDE [02:50] i want to know.... if a new user with less experience does that people like Unity? [02:50] Does anyone know how I get the network manager icon in systray over FreeNX? [02:50] s0|: Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [02:51] edbian, yup but you know i got banned from ubuntu forums last year cause i fixed youtube-dl > they said it was illegal > but it is in the repos > magine that > and i can notstill read or right there > banned for life > so why would i help them now > ? [02:51] i have an application with the name agnclient:i386 in the list of installed softwares... ho do I uninstall it.. I cannot find it when I run spt-get remove agnclient ??? [02:51] gdm output: ** (gdm-binary:1398): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager [02:51] does anyone know if there is a way to install previous versions of an application on ubuntu? [02:51] edbian> doesn't look like it. [02:52] is there a way to get the length of a movie playing mplayer?? [02:52] I have backups of it tho apprently;' [02:52] edbian & s0|: your outputs have the Nouveau kernel module still loaded and your xorg log is trying to use the Nvidia 173 driver (this is NOT nvidia-current): is this intended? [02:52] needlez: while it's playing, press the o key to toggle OSD [02:52] jetole: i meant in command line?? [02:52] edbian, i gotta go to the store brb [02:52] probably not just the way it ended up. [02:53] xangua: i have an application with the name agnclient:i386 in the list of installed softwares... ho do I uninstall it.. I cannot find it when I run spt-get remove agnclient ??? [02:53] needlez: yes but I don't recall [02:53] XGD_Vicious, you know, i don't know. I have had problems with sata/ide mismatching, but mostly with ubuntu putting the boot loader on the wrong drive, for instance, i would install to my sata, but without asking me it would put grub on the ide. so i am guessing here. [02:53] s0|: Griemak I see an error when it attempts to load nouveau. My best guess is to install nvidia-173 [02:53] needlez: check the man page or join #mplayer and you might get a quicker answer [02:53] Griemak: Where do you see that we're trying to load nvidia-173 ? [02:53] i have a problem connecting to my verizon mobile hotspot device with ubuntu, does anyone have any problems/ [02:53] kk thanx jetole [02:53] my connection keeps dropping off [02:53] i believe that is what is happening [02:54] I have an old closed-source game I want to play, but it's linked against libgtk 1.2. Is there anything I can do about that? [02:54] nessonic, from what i read, that whould work, you got me stumped here, i think you need a more qualified grub man. [02:54] ebdian: http://pastebin.com/Bm1gkNbG line 74 [02:54] s0|: I'm in over my head now too :) We're learning! [02:54] im new to linux however so i dont exactly know how to locate the grub boot file [02:54] nvidia-173 is already the newest version\ [02:54] hylian: okay, thank you [02:54] Griemak: Why is the system trying to install this driver? [02:54] nvidia 173 was already there [02:54] anyone else know a bit about grub 2? [02:55] XGD_Vicious, grub 2 has a few files. and unless you are using a really old verion of ubuntu, that's what your using. [02:55] Griemak: s0| says it's already installed? [02:55] it was [02:55] nessonic: i do kinda. lemme read the backlog [02:55] (and still is) [02:55] i'm using backtrack 4 [02:55] hylian, i have an application with the name agnclient:i386 in the list of installed softwares... ho do I uninstall it.. I cannot find it when I run spt-get remove agnclient ??? [02:55] edbian & s0|: Nvidia-173 is a fallback driver for older cards/chips. Nvidia-current is 260+ version. What graphics card/chip do you have? (lets start with which version SHOULD be there) :) [02:55] XGD_Vicious: backtrack is not supported here [02:56] i installed the python-doc pkg and I see things in /usr/share/doc/html, however, when i try to view the module index, I get a 404. Anyone know if there's another pkg I need? [02:56] how do i change my name on here? [02:56] Griemak: s0| I'll sit back and watch for a bit. [02:56] type /nick [02:56] is there a channel you would recommend i move to for support? [02:56] hi all [02:56] nessonic: you sure grub2 is installed in only one place / properly? [02:56] nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1) [02:56] cheiz: how would I check? [02:56] (well that is what I got lspci -k) [02:56] and that sounds right [02:57] does anyone know what repo pre-release video drivers are on? [02:57] guesy apt-get is very specific, it could be named something slightly different, and apt-get wouldnt see it. for instance, sudo apt-get install icedtea6plugin gets you nothing, but add a dash, icedtea6-plugin, and whalla. try using sudo synaptic, and searching for it in there. [02:57] s0|: lspci wouldn't lie about that :) [02:57] so - sorta old in the GPU world. [02:57] nessonic: uhm, just you would remember if you installed grub before [02:57] i think there is a new xserver-xorg video driver out there but not released yet [02:57] that will hopefully fix my video issues [02:57] s0|: fist step, let's jump over to Nvidia.com and see what they recommend: which is the 270 version (I already checked) [02:58] nessonic: what are you trying to do by editing 40_custom? [02:58] hylian: i searched in the synaptic package manager for agn.. and i cannot find anything [02:58] cheiz: the only installs I did were through the live cds. I have ubuntu 10.10 and the 10.10 server edition. Server comes first, and with a ~3 second grub time it can be annoying to try switching to basic 10.10 quickly [02:58] s0|: can you list all packages installed with "nvidia" in them? [02:58] guesy, ok, let me take a crack at it, what is it called exactly and how did you install it? [02:58] Griemak: if this was rpm I would know how but don't with apt.... [02:59] cheiz: all I want to do is move the server below 10.10 in the menu. Which is how the 40_custom is setup, but it doesn't correlate over upon bootup [02:59] what is rpm -qa | grep in ubuntu land ? [02:59] hylian: I installed ia32libs [02:59] then installed it with --force architechture option [03:00] needlez: mplayer -vo null -frames 0 -identify film.avi 2>&1 | sed -e '/ID_LENGTH/!d;s/^[^=]\+=\(.*\)/\1 seconds/' [03:00] hello all [03:00] s0|: dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia [03:00] nessonic: do they appear in the proper order in grub.cfg? [03:00] guesy, what was the name of the file or deb package for the forced install of agn? [03:00] :( seams that I will have to do a full install again ... [03:01] http://pastebin.com/VcMQ4Z63 [03:01] so a few oldies. [03:01] hylian: that deb i installed was i386 I installed it on my 64bit Ubuntu. This is the exact name of the deb file I installed "agnclient_1.0~2.0.1.3003-4_i386.deb" [03:01] Does anyone know how I get the network manager icon in systray over FreeNX? [03:01] cheiz: no, it seems it is loading 10_linux, which is not in grub.d anymore. This is the list where they are out of order [03:02] s0|: that's okay. Let's purge nvidia-173 and reinstall nvidia-current afterwards [03:02] guesy, i see, you forced a 32 bit client install on a 64 bit os... hmm, let me take a look at it. [03:02] hi all [03:02] nessonic: rename your 40_custom to 06_custom [03:03] hey i'm mew to ubuntu and i've been trying to install a broadcom wifi card for 2 hours now, any help? [03:03] is there any way to create a ubuntu app quickly? [03:03] so just purge 173 ? not 185 ? [03:03] nessonic: also make sure it's marked executable, along with the other stuff mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom Menu Entries [03:03] it's currently renamed to 10_linux, though grub.cfg loads mine, then it loads this unknown 10_linux that isn't mine. The one it loads first (mine) doesn't list my order [03:03] hylian: yeah, that was what I did [03:03] nessonic: rename your 40_custom to 06_custom [03:03] nessonic: also make sure it's marked executable, along with the other stuff mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom Menu Entries [03:04] guesy, anythign listed in ubuntu software center under installed software? this should show up... are you shure it installed? [03:04] phungvantu: there are ui tools to help design uis === Wolf is now known as Guest81765 [03:04] s0|: correct [03:04] Griemak: apt wasn't so happy about that [03:04] phungvantu: http://developer.ubuntu.com/develop/ [03:04] didn't clean up a lot of dis becuase they weren' [03:04] t empty. [03:04] *dir's [03:05] nessonic: or rename what you made 10_linux. you should leave your 10_linux alone [03:05] guesy, you can use that same deb file to remove, *i think*. i have never had anyone forcible install cross platform like that... [03:05] Griemak: still go a head and install nivida-current ? [03:05] why bash completion won't expand environment variables in 11.04? [03:05] cheiz: I believe I removed the 10_linux, though it appears to be somewhere as it still loads in grub.cfg [03:06] s0|: they're shared, it's okay (this is dirty, cleanup will be easier when x starts) can you reinstal nvidia-current without error? [03:06] no [03:06] unless I should be using a diffrent command other than sudo apt-get install nvidia-curreent [03:06] (spelled right of course) [03:06] it says it's already there and up2date [03:06] s0|, one less e, in current.. :) [03:07] s0|: yes, try: apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current [03:07] nessonic: yeah. that's okay to have. have your custom stuff be 06_custom [03:07] guesy, any luck? [03:07] ok it is reinstalling [03:07] s0|: watch the output, hopefully we see a dkms module installed :) [03:07] odd error in unity, I set the panel systray-whitelist to all and changed from wall to cube, now some systray icons are behind the panel rather then on it. any idea how to fix it? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:08] cheiz: I made the file an executable, renamed it to 06_custom, updated grub, but the same thing appears [03:08] I saw it remove some... still scanning the out put for it installing some. [03:08] hylian: dpkg: error: package name in specifier 'agnclient_1.0~2.0.1.3003-4_i386.deb' is illegal: character `~' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters `-+._') [03:08] nessonic: pastebin the thing that appears [03:08] cheiz: in grub.cfg? [03:08] guesy, rename it to angclient.deb, and try one more time... [03:08] here is the reinstall: http://pastebin.com/gvffMiye [03:09] test === Guest34570 is now known as paprika [03:09] hylian: I tried that too... dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [03:09] oi [03:09] Griemak, reboot? try startx? [03:09] test [03:09] so|: line 21 is your problem! :) "kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed." [03:10] nessonic: yes [03:10] Griemak, so ? any idea how to fix that ? === Pimp is now known as proxeneta [03:10] need a sudo apt-get install fix kernel source issue. [03:11] s0|: yes, reinstall linux kernel headers... looking up exact commands to save time. Which kernel version are you running? [03:11] 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu [03:11] hi [03:11] guesy, i really don't know what to tell you, any luck finding this in ubuntu softare center? i can walk you through removing the existence of it's installation, but all that will do is make apt think it was never installed, and you will never be able to remove it then, atleast not the right way. this process would allow you to install a 64 bit version then, a little messy. [03:11] I am having problems upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 so I can upgrade to 11.04, does this error sound familiar to anyone: W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5? [03:11] test [03:11] basically what dist-upgrade gui gave me yesterday [03:12] !gpgerror | fumanchu182 [03:12] will Unity ever become more customizable? [03:12] !gpgerr [03:12] how can I check if an init.d script is set to autostart? [03:12] Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com » [03:12] myrk, yes, unity is still very new, they intend on making it as customizaeble as gnome 2 someday. stilla work in progress. [03:12] service --status all shows a bunch of -,+,?, what do those mean? [03:12] ok [03:13] hylian: I cannot find it in the software Center either... :( [03:13] I suppose it's too late to say "ack 11.04 bad, roll back to 10.10?" [03:13] so|: I'm looking for the exact package name, but what I am looking for is the "linux-headers" package [03:13] i reinstalled [03:13] I tried the whole hold down left shift to get a grub menu to boot to an old kernel but left shift doesn't do a thing while I boot. [03:13] 11.04 isn't really usable imo ;) [03:14] guesy, ok, if you want i can help you to remove apt-'s knowledge of it's existence, but this is a two edged sword, you would be able to install the 64 bit module, but you would never be able to remove the current version properly through apt... this is a last resort. [03:14] lowridah: agreed [03:14] Griemak: you want me to grep for something ? [03:14] anyone know how to remove an app that doesn't show up in apt, synaptic or ubuntu software center? (for guesy ) [03:14] hylian: yeah, Ok.. i will give it a try ... [03:14] s0|: yep, what is the output of this? sudo apt-cache search linux-headers-$(uname -r) [03:15] linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.38 on x86/x86_64 [03:15] guesy, first we need to gain root priveleges with nautilus, unless you know your way around the cli. === sudoking is now known as SudoKing [03:15] s0|: cool, see if this installs or bombs with errors: sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic [03:16] yeah, I have root privilages [03:16] Griemak, install --reinstall or ? [03:16] install (sorry bout that) [03:17] guesy we have to find the deb package in /var/cache/apt/archives and remove it., [03:17] edbian, hello [03:18] Has anyone compiled packages of kde 4.6.x for Lucid 10.04? [03:18] Griemak: install said "ok" [03:18] Hello. Having trouble with my microphone. I already tried tweaking the alsa settings. [03:18] faryshta: What type of computer, and is it built-in? [03:19] hylian: i already deleted that from the cache [03:19] http://pastebin.com/rgzpekr7 install log [03:19] Firefishe, its an HP 6735b and yes, its a build in. [03:19] s0|: k, well the "headers" are needed to install modules, so let's hope that's been the issue the entire time! :) Let's reinstall nvidia-current and hope the output is error free: apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current [03:19] faryshta: laptop, I assume? [03:19] Firefishe, yes :) [03:19] I'm having issues with my mic in Ubuntu 10.10. Using gnome-sound-recorder, if I press record, count to 6, press stop, and then press play I can only hear myself count up to 4 or so. [03:19] faryshta: what version of u/k/xubuntu? [03:19] ok edbian back sorry [03:20] Xubuntu 10.10 [03:20] faryshta: I'm still on the 10.04 LTS release, but I'll try to help you if I can. [03:20] faryshta: Let me do a little research for a few moments, then get back to you. [03:20] Firefishe, thanks. [03:20] install log: http://pastebin.com/mjFApW0q [03:21] faryshta: You're welcome :) [03:21] guesy, ok now we have to delete it's file from /var/lib/dpkg/info. then we have to redo the update and then consider reinstalling it, perhaps we will have to have dpkg fix itself, one thing at a time [03:21] edbian, you said you knew what was wrong last night [03:22] s0|: looks great! can you try a reboot? (crosses fingers) [03:22] Griemak: k [03:22] I am trying to install a new sql(5.5). I try to test run mysqld file, ./mysqld, yet I see "no such file or directory". I thik perhaps I have shared links or something but am stumped on this. If I cant run a file thats clearly in the folder I am in, how do I look for possibly shared links or some other fix? [03:22] Hello, I want to install ubuntu but the only things I really need on it is a working x server with nvidia drivers. Technically I dont even need that, I just need synaptics package manager installed and a baseline linux system that I can build frmo the ground up. What do you suggest I do to get this? [03:22] edbian, you get in trouble for talking to me while i was gone > seen so/ scalded you or something > sorry i just tell it like it is [03:23] man it would have been a good idea to hide join/part messages before coming in here [03:23] man Griemak, thanks! [03:23] that is a w00t, w00t. [03:24] s0|: no prob: I think what happened was you didn't have the linux-headers: so the new Nouveau and Nvidia-current couldn't build kernel modules, resulting in NO gfx drivers :) [03:24] Griemak, should the dist-upgrade thing know to fix that ? [03:24] hello edbian you here [03:24] hylian: are you sure /var/lib/dpkg is correct ? i cannot find dpkg in /var/lib [03:24] Guys, i'm installing ubuntu. Should i just have one partition mounted to / ? should i have a swap area as well?what are your recommended paritions? [03:24] tbrew13, i hope you are having a better time of it today. [03:25] hylian: sry my mistake [03:25] s0|: no idea :) It SHOULD. If things didn't break, where would the fun be? lol [03:25] Griemak, that gets one monitor working, I can probably stumble my way to getting the other one to work. [03:25] guesy, /var/lib/dpkg/info [03:25] hylian, not really compiz still is acting funny wobbly windows works and i can maximize windows just can't move them [03:25] * hiexpo go back to backtrack > pentoo > and aircrack Where he is welcome and appreciated > for his hard work [03:25] faryshta: Do you have anything besided xubuntu installed? [03:26] Firefishe, skype. [03:26] Griemak, I didn't have to use lynx this time to manually download junk for nvidia's site this time, so things have improved since the last time I an upgrade broke a ubuntu / debian box of mine. [03:26] Firefishe, audacity. [03:26] tbrew13, i officially hate compiz :) sorry man. I wish i knew more, but I am the guy that removes all pretty-ness from his desktop, not the oposite. [03:26] faryshta: I mean, so far as desktops are concerned, not individual applications. [03:26] Firefishe, nop, just xubuntu. [03:26] too bad I cooked my other machine yesterday I would almost be ready to see if a newer verison of ubuntu could not kernel panic when booting on my dual socket board. [03:27] I'm planning on using Ubuntu Server to set up a wired->wired+wifi router for my home. I've read the wiki page on this matter, and I have experience setting this sort of thing up on other distributions, but I wanted to know if there's either a better distribution to use, or a set of packages that will simplify this configuration. [03:27] faryshta: okay, that helps me a bit. I'll get back to you in a few. [03:27] s0|: I've had better luck since 10.04 as well with in-place upgrades [03:27] nessonic: almost there?
