[00:00] phong_: ubuntu doesn't have a root password. [00:00] I am trying to see if Ubuntu or any other Linux for that matter may have been the cause for my hacked Yahoo account. [00:00] !root | phong_ [00:00] phong_: 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 [00:00] phong_, ubuntu doesn't have a root password. you can set one (not recommended) by using sudo passwd [00:00] Sometimes sudo does not work. [00:00] Try SU. [00:00] kolten: I doubt it very much. [00:00] escott: if its not recommended.. then don't recommend it. [00:00] escott, the one always ask me when i install or sudo something..i want to change that one [00:00] kolten: When does sudo "not work"? [00:00] phong_ thats your user password [00:01] phong_, sudo somecommand asks for the users password [00:01] well, how can i change it. [00:01] kolten, Sudo always works as long as the password is right and you are part of the sudoers file. [00:01] phong user account settings [00:01] phong_, passwd from the terminal (i'm sure there is a gui as well) [00:01] i want to know with command [00:01] anyone know a good IRC channel for GGambas? [00:01] I had tried to use sudo to install a package before and it could not be used, had to be from the actuall root. [00:01] oho kay [00:01] *Gambas [00:01] kolten, What package? [00:01] phong_: *NOT* "sudo passwd", just "passwd". [00:02] ok [00:02] I dunno, was a long time ago, and I do not remember if it was for a package or to friggin try to change one of the many fucking text commands in the terminal.

[00:03] Using ubuntu 10.10, trying to have extended desktop on a laptop with an external monitor. How would I do that? [00:03] thanks, i got it. [00:04] Not to be frank, but I was quite aggrevated with Ubuntu and Linux all together, you download one thing, have to go hunting for hours on end for that one particular driver or the end to some long text command that is a bunch of crap from the get go anyhow, and then these package repositories are never updated to the next release of ubuntu!!! [00:04] That is why I am cursing!!! User-friendly my behind!!! [00:05] ziber goto prefs, monitors, it will detect any moniters connected, otherwise it prob wont, u should be able to get it from there [00:05] kolten: This is not the place to swear or rant. [00:06] kolten why dont you design write, compile, debug, test debug, test your own linux os then [00:06] kolten: one day compatibility will get better, or firms will start producing drivers and maintain repos for linux users [00:06] *more firms [00:06] That is why I use PC BSD, its simple, easy, supposedly safe, and thier repositories are actually updated, and if there is a program that does not download correctly at first, it remedies itself and can be downloaded an hour or so later. [00:06] mike are you in there === dtigue is now known as Vubut [00:07] Are you kidding, I am a Windows user, I am used to Windows and its ease of use, and I come to expect that from any os that calls itself "user-friendly." [00:07] I do not have time to Sudo this or CC that. [00:07] kolten why did u try ubuntu then? [00:08] kolten, Ubuntu is fairly user friendly, you just have to get used to something a little different. [00:08] kolten: This is your last warning. Please stick to Ubuntu support questions. [00:08] kolten: Awesome, but offtopic [00:08] kolten: Or discuss other things in #ubuntu-offtopic. [00:08] Because I Thought I would get something descent so I could stay off of Microdunce's payroll sheet!!! [00:08] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 fresh to a brand new hard drive, but now the computer won't boot at all. it may have something to do with the multiple hard drives I have. How can I troubleshoot this? [00:08] THAT IS WHY!!!! [00:09] is there any better file manager than nautilus or dolphin in linux? i miss some things for instance, in windows, if some app, if you open some file you get the system dialog box where you can select a file, but also you can delete files too, then select the file you want, cuz the app is using the system functionality to select but miss that behavior. [00:09] How do you mount a hard drive as read/write? [00:09] kolten go with 10.10, its very "user friendly" and come here if someting dont work right. or try a diff flavor of linux, theres lots of them out ther i hear debian is the most stable [00:09] <|Slacker|> dijonyummy, midnight commander :p [00:10] man i really dont like what ubunutus done with the right scroll bar, its weird, hard to use, and now cant "page" down or up anymore [00:10] Travis-42, how far is it getting in the boot process [00:11] escott, it doesn't appear to be loading grub [00:11] slacker: is midnight commander a slam dunk better, or are all those 3 about the same just each has different pros/cons? [00:11] sw0rn, mount -o rw [00:11] dijonyummy, Submit a ticket about the inability to page up and down [00:11] escott, basically, bios then hang [00:11] <|Slacker|> dijonyummy, midnight commander is console stuff...prolly ubuntu doesn't even ship this [00:11] the gui designers should already know that, if not they suck [00:11] kolten just so you know, linux is not like ms anything, ms is also re-designed for specific types/brands of machines, ubuntu has a few diff between desktop and other typs, but what im realy talking about is specificly desiging it for your machine,,,theres billions of them out there...so you have 2 expect to do some work to get it all to gether...its worth it in the end [00:11] Travis-42, is it not finding a grub? or is it finding the wrong one? [00:12] oh hehe he left [00:12] <|Slacker|> in fact I didnt get your idea dijonyummy [00:12] Travis-42: You probably just aren't booting from the drive that grub was installed to. Try removing the other drives, changing the boot order untill you've tried all of them, or installing grub to all of them. [00:12] escott, not finding any === Timic_ is now known as Timic [00:12] Jordan_U, I have the new hard drive that I installed Ubuntu to as the primary hard drive... how can I get grub installed to that one?

[00:13] i appologise [00:13] didnt mean to spam [00:13] yu di dey mshuhes [00:14] <[V13]Axel> Has anyone had any sort of success using an ATI card and an NVIDIA card together on Ubuntu? I know the cards are physically compatible, because the setup works fine in Windows... But the only thing keeping me from using Ubuntu is the fact that my fourth monitor(Second monitor on PC2) is not working. Anyone know how to help? [00:14] ok.. this is odd, how do I get into the live session? I downloaded and burned Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit to a CD, but there is no "try ubuntu" option. is that new/normal? [00:14] Travis-42: The option will be presented later in boot. [00:15] Jordan_U, when exactly? [00:15] Travis-42: when you installed, did you actually install from from a live session? or did you use the "install inside windows" option? [00:15] Travis-42: After X has started. [00:16] KM0201, neither, I choose "Install Ubuntu" from the CD [00:16] Jordan_U, hmm, X doesn't start for me. Maybe I downloaded the wrong cd [00:16] <[V13]Axel> Can anyone help me with my above question? [00:16] Travis-42: so. (again, just to be clear).. you inserted the CD.. and rebooted, let the CD boot, and got a option to "install ubuntu" [00:16] ah yup crap, I downloaded the alternate one, not the desktop one [00:16] Travis-42: Did you download the "Alternate" install CD? [00:16] .. [00:17] It's been a long time since I've installed rather than just upgraded ubuntu [00:17] sorry [00:17] lol [00:17] hi guys, i've been in the forums and nothing is working for me, i'm using 11.04 and since my last update, no sound at all [00:17] Travis-42: you can install & upgrade from alternate [00:18] xangua, yea, I did, but the grub is messed up, so I need to boot into a live session [00:18] anyone know how to get screenshots to work when i hit my print screen? [00:18] in 11.04 [00:18] Zelozelos: go into gimp and paste thenm [00:18] revilodraw, is it putting the screenshot on the clipboard? [00:19] Zelozelos: when i hit my screenshot button it asks me where to save it or if i'd like to copy it to clipboard. does yours not do that? [00:19] revilodraw, r u using 11.04? my print screen button is doing nothin [00:20] Hello, when starting ubuntu and at login screen, I get a message "The configuration defaults of GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly, please contact system administrator" and after entering username and password, gnome logs out before completing the login, ....... any help? [00:20] well able to boot with the original grub install, that's good enough [00:20] Hi [00:20] no reason the alternate install should be different in any other way, right? [00:20] I have cleared squid cache in squid. I am still unable to reach the global ubuntu mirror. is there a way to know where does squid deb proxy resides in LAN ? I have restarted shorewall and squid services in gateway. still no luck [00:20] Zelozelos: yeah, im using 11.04. ok, well that is difficult. try to find the command for screenshotting, then check the prtscr key is mapped to that command? [00:20] <[V13]Axel> Has anyone ever had any success at running an ATI and an NVIDIA card simultaneously? [00:21] revilodraw, how do i change the keymap to that button? [00:21] Zelozelos: in the meantime try this http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/three-ways-to-capture-screenshot-in-ubuntu-linux/ [00:21] hello [00:22] Hello, when starting ubuntu and at login screen, I get a message "The configuration defaults of GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly, please contact system administrator" and after entering username and password, gnome logs out before completing the login, ....... any help? [00:22] Axel, I don't think that is possible. [00:22] Zelozelos: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, and set 'take a screenshot' to 'print' [00:22] revilodraw, the other ways work just fine, just not the print-screen button [00:23] <[V13]Axel> Snicers-Work3: I know for a fact it is; I can get them working on the Window Maker window manager, but without the ability to do much or 3D acceleration. [00:24] Zelozelos: did u try the keyboard shortcuts suggestion? [00:24] Axel, How does that work on the hardware side? Both drivers would have to be installed. [00:24] [V13]Axel, the problem is which libgl would you use [00:24] revilodraw, ok i tried that, it was set to print but i re-did it it still dosent work [00:24] [V13]Axel: you're a madman [00:24] <[V13]Axel> Snicers-Work3: I have no idea-- It was working using Xinerama for a while, but that's only on the Window Maker manager. [00:24] <[V13]Axel> escott: Oh? [00:25] <[V13]Axel> revilodraw: Most would agree. [00:25] [V13]Axel, you have to pick one, and then what happens when you drag your gl drawn window from the nvidia managed displays to the ati attached... [00:25] Zelozelos: is it an old laptop? maybe the button is dead. try linking it to another button you never use, like "home pause" or some such nonsense [00:25] <[V13]Axel> escott: Why can they not work in harmony with one another, passing graphical information back and forth? I've seen it done before, I just don't know how to do it. [00:26] revilodraw, i did still no dice, im adding a new command for it now maybe itll work [00:26] [V13]Axel: why would you want to use two graphics cards at once? on two monitors? [00:26] HarryS: http://xkcd.com/792/ Password Reuse ;) [00:27] revilodraw, ok that worked, i dont know why the orig one didnt work, but adding a new one did thanks for the suggestion on the keymapping, would have never thought of that [00:27] Zelozelos: glad i could help [00:27] <[V13]Axel> revilodraw: Yes-- I have two monitors attached to one computer, one to an NVIDIA onboard, and one to an ATI PCIe card. It works perfectly fine in Windows, and I miss having my fourth monitor(Two computers, two monitors each), which is the only thing keeping me from switching to 100% Ubuntu. === Timic_ is now known as Timic [00:28] revilodraw, now if i could just get it to work while rotating the cube [00:28] [V13]Axel, if nvidia used gem then there would be some hope this could work because gem could switch the execution to the correct card, but nvidia doesnt [00:28] Axel, in order for what you want to work there would have to be a third hardware device (or software, but FSB would slow it to a crawl), something that converts signals that ATI puts out into signals that NVIDIA could understand. They can't transfer graphics seemlessly as they don't speak the same language essientially. [00:28] [V13]Axel: that is way out of my league [00:29] Does anyone know an image browsing program which knows to browse images by date of modification? [00:29] Axel, Now you can use an ATI card to render graphics and an nVidia card for PhysX if you want. [00:29] StrangeLoop, i think shotwell does that [00:29] StrangeLoop, you can sort by date in list view of nautilus [00:29] <[V13]Axel> escott: Well, I don't see why it can work in Windows but not on Linux. [00:29] StrangeLoop, Picasa [00:30] <[V13]Axel> revilodraw: Understood- I'm a bit of a nerd, and thus, know a good bit about the hardware side of things. [00:30] Axel, are you sure it works or is it just using plug and play drivers? [00:30] Zelozelos: haha what do you want to do that for? [00:31] Axel, if it is just using plug and play drivers you might as well just go shell out 20 bucks for two of the same cheap video cards. [00:31] <[V13]Axel> Snicers-Work3: I'm positive it works-- I can play full 3D games on either monitor, and both are using the manufacturer WDDM drivers on Windows. [00:31] revilodraw, i like to export ccsm settings and save screenshots along w them so i know which is which [00:31] [V13]Axel, they have the market power to force nvidia and ati to play by the rules and create drivers that work within the framework. and can you move a game once it is started on one card? [00:31] Zelozelos: ok, i dont know what ccsm settings are. is that compiz? [00:31] revilodraw, yup [00:32] Hey everyone! How do you disable the Unity workspace switcher lens on the launcher? [00:32] revilodraw, sorry thats the name for the advanced compiz settin manager [00:32] <[V13]Axel> escott: If I'm running it within a window, yes. Same thing with Aero-enabled windows. They work wonderfully-- No lag at all. [00:32] Zelozelos: ok, well do you know how to fix my no sound problem? [00:32] umm maybe..idk for sure ive never had sound issues, whats it doing? [00:34] hi all have a problem in 11.04 that the nvidia accelerated driver is activated but not in use. any idea how to get this driver up and running (also display is acting a little janky without it) [00:34] <[V13]Axel> escott: Also, on Linux. When I boot, the bootlogo shows up on the ATI card, and all command-line output shows up there as well, when in command-line mode. However, once the X server starts, the NVidia monitor shows the GUI. It's odd. [00:34] revilodraw, umm maybe..idk for sure ive never had sound issues, whats it doing? [00:35] Axel, start here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=834211 [00:35] [V13]Axel, you get crazy results with a crazy setup :) [00:36] well, since my last update, i have no sound whatsoever. i have tried a usb sound card with headphones, no luck. i tried headphones plugged into comouter, no luck, youtube is silent, exaile is silent [00:36] revilodraw, terminal "alsamixer" and see if you can fix it from there. [00:37] Snicers-Work3: i have tried that and unfortunately that didnt help. everythiing is set to max volume in there [00:37] revilodraw, Is the device listed on your pc? [00:37] [V13]Axel, i'm pretty confident the best result you will get is to have glx enabled on only one display and the other display be unaccelerated. that is going to force you into using the unity-2d interface instead of compiz [00:37] I was told that viruses hitting Unbuntu are unlikely. What causes it than to freeze and have to be forcefully shut down with on/off button? [00:38] I have desire for running windows programs. But I have no desire for dual booting, and WINE is failing me. I've heard rumors about some sort of ability to install Windows *within* Ubuntu and have it run... as is. How can I make this happen? [00:38] <[V13]Axel> escott: Unity is not installed on this PC. I use Ubuntu 10.04.2. I can do without compiz on this particular machine, that's not what I'm worried about.

In what way is this performance loss significant? [00:40] <[V13]Axel> escott: That's the problem-- It's the same xorg.conf. All I did was tweak some video settings and WaZoo. It worked.

I don't mind 7, it's actually not that bad. I just don't like how resource heavy the OS itself is.

I need to convert some flv & mpr files to mp3. Which software can I use for this task?? TIA! [01:25] hmm i got that gnome mixer, but theres no way to change the bass midrange and treble [01:25] lindenle: delete the .so file? [01:25] celthunder: google talk. that's your question i assume [01:26] eiriksvin, there is also pulsaudio system equalizer [01:26] thats what i need an eq [01:26] nimbiotics: ffmpeg [01:26] I think it is in the initrd. I want to remove it from there [01:26] kavurt: uhm yeah you should be able to gfet rings then [01:26] celthunder: does it have a graphical front end? [01:27] nimbiotics: plenty of things rely on it (most media players etc) [01:27] celthunder: ok, THX [01:29] Hey all, I am about to reformat a drive after switching to Linux from OSx, however, I don't know what the best format strategy is... would it be EXT4, or NFTS, or XFS, etc?! I suspect sometime in the future I will be changing OS again, because I do that often. What is most versatile? [01:29] nimbiotics CLI is the best but WinFF is a good front end [01:29] ok I just pulled apart the initrd and the nouveau module is in there [01:30] i cant find that EQ in the repo [01:30] froq: ext3 is pretty universal [01:30] froq: i don't think windows will boot off ext3 though you can read files off it mac should do ext3 just fine [01:31] froq, ext4 is the standard these days, if you are worried about having to resize your partitions you can use lvm or mdadm, there has been talk about going to btrfs in future releases but its just not ready yet. none of these work with windows though, and the cross-platform solutions are terrible [01:31] froq: no idea about ext4 on other os's works great for linux though0 [01:31] yeah what he said [01:31] * celthunder points up [01:32] I followed the instructions found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP but when I do the phpinfo(); it downloads the php file instead of executing the code. Any hints? [01:32] so go ext3 to be the safest?! It has the most universal amount of drivers out there? Just wanted to clarify... though, someone mentioned LVM, how do you set that up after installation? [01:32] andrew[a]clt: uncomment php/mysql.iso in the httpd.conf and reload apache [01:33] froq: no filesystem is 100 percent great on all platforms pick one and use it according to the os you plan on using the most [01:34] froq, you lose extents with ext3 which is a useful feature for media. i'm pretty uncomfortable with the ext3 drivers for other oses because I just don't know anyone who uses them regularly, and inserting kernel modules into a closed source kernel seems like a bad idea to me. lvm you would have to setup at the beginning, and may make it impossible for mac/windows to even see the partitions [01:34] Hi there. all. I cannot seem to locate partitin editor now htat i have updated to ubuntu 11.04 ... any suggestions please? [01:34] chrislustic, use/install gparted [01:34] partition* [01:34] celthunder, ok. thanks [01:34] chrislustic: is it installed? sudo apt-get install gparted [01:34] escott, so uh... to late to set up LVM if I already performed my install? [01:35] studentz: what is CLI? where do I get it? [01:35] i hope its simple... lool... just seems to have dissapeared after i updated... [01:35] nimbiotics: the terminal [01:35] nimbiotics comman line interface or terminal [01:35] froq, i think so, although it may be possible to convert... if it is possible im sure someone has done it [01:35] andrew[a]clt: a2enmod php5 [01:35] chrislustic: yeah, make sure its still installed first [01:35] celthunder, humm, I don't think that's correct, ubuntu splits everything up into like 40,000 files I see it loading the module in mod-enabled/php5.load [01:35] escott, your knowledge is sufficent for me! thanks for clarifying! :) [01:36] escott, what is the disadvantage of ext3 compared to ext4 for media? [01:36] studentz: got it, and what is ffwin? [01:36] froq, apparently you can convert, but its going to confuse a lot of boot scripts potentially [01:36] andrew[a]clt: a2enmod php5 [01:37] celthunder, tried that already, said it was already loaded [01:37] froq, ext4 is a bit faster and more efficient [01:37] andrew[a]clt: did you reload/restart apache after doing that? [01:37] psusi, ok thx [01:37] celthunder, after it said it was already loaded no, but I shall try [01:37] froq, extents is the headline feature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [01:38] nimbiotics WinFF is a GUI to use ffmpeg, you can install from Ubuntu Software Center [01:38] andrew[a]clt: yeah you have to restart apache after loading modules === jeff_ is now known as Guest68937 [01:39] celthunder, yeah, thanks that did it [01:39] celthunder: hate to be dummy but i am having problem with adding modules to my /etc/modprobe.d ... [01:39] studentz: got it, already downloading, THX!!! [01:39] if this command works: sudo modprobe b43 .... then what should I pubt in modprobe.conf ? [01:39] gare, b43 [01:39] ^put [01:40] thanks [01:41] and ... if there is NOT a modprobe.conf .. is ok to create one? And ... how to reload modprobe without rebooting to test? (Thank you!) [01:41] gare, it should be added to /etc/modules === Timic_ is now known as Timic [01:41] oh [01:41] gare: just put the name of the module... [01:41] gare, these files get moved around from distro to distro hence the confusion [01:41] exactly [01:42] escott: there is no /etc/modules in new natty install .. [01:42] gare: so make one or both files [01:42] Im running 11.04 how do I hook up my laptop to my TV via hdmi? Cable is already hooked up, I just can't get my screen to pop up on my TV [01:42] plustax: xrandr [01:42] celthunder, what is that? [01:43] uh .. dir was looking for a directory .. there is an /etc/modules file .. [01:43] plustax: lets you set your monitors how you want resolution location compared to others etc [01:44] celthunder, the current monitors app isnt even recognizing my TV [01:44] plustax, there is a monitors application which is a gui to xrandr [01:44] Is there a guide for a transition to KDE, anyone? [01:44] plustax: for example i use xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --right-of LVDS1 [01:44] okay lemme look into it. [01:44] plustax: to get monitor names just type it without arguements [01:44] hi, I just tested the latest 32-bit 11.04 ubuntu liveCD and my wifi didn't work on my new Lenovo T420 laptop with Realtek RTL8188CE wifi card. Should I just install then figure out how to make it work assuming there are drivers, or could it be a distro specific thing and I'll be forced to use another distro ? [01:44] plustax, its true name is gnome-display-properties [01:45] blip-: if theres drivers they should work in all distro's [01:45] d [01:45] blip-: realtek is pretty good with using compatible chipsets though [01:45] michael_: not really, the transition is install, log out, change session, login - not much to help here besides use it a few days [01:45] michael_: what is difficult about kde transision? [01:46] celthunder, I have ARandR and multiple screens apps from software center. I have no idea how to set them up so I can connect the TV [01:46] can you walk me through it? [01:46] plustax: open a terminal and pastebin output of xrandr with no arguements [01:47] plustax: make sure your hdmi is plugged in when doing that [01:47] Is there a (documented) way to assign a custom gtk+ class and name to nautilus browser windows? the gtk+ command line options --class and --name for setting the WM_CLASS property don't seem to have any effect with nautilus (2.32) on ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 & 11.04... [01:48] glitsj16: xprop [01:48] and a big booyah . for the wireless . just added the 'b43' in the /etc/modules file & wireless fired up! what is syntax to add this to get the wired to work: modprobe - r b43 ssb ?? [01:48] http://pastebin.com/Sxm6GW9Z [01:48] celthunder, [01:48] escott: Greetings, ready for round 2, still can't get drive mapped for floppy [01:49] why would the program gksu be being used thru port 80? (showing in firestarter active connections) [01:49] plustax: does it see anything is plugged into hdmi? theres nothing there [01:49] Is there a straightforward way to view my sata controller chipset? [01:49] celthunder: thx, but that doesn't assign anything does it? i used it to test cli options, that was how i found out it didn't work for nautilus [01:49] Like, a command line method? [01:49] mukiex, lspci [01:49] Its plugged in both my tv and my computer [01:49] glitsj16: ? sure it can [01:49] gare, you shouldn't have to remove b43 for wired connections [01:49] glitsj16: xprop -set [01:49] Thanks, escott! =3 [01:50] celthunder: great, i missed that completely [01:50] gksu using port 80 from remote unkown location,,,,, is this bad?! [01:50] ahh [01:50] phoenix_, i don't have much more i can offer suggestion wise, but if you want to pastebin a session i can review it to see if there is anything obviously wrong [01:50] celthunder, the hdmi cable is plugged into the tv and my laptop and my tv is on the correct HDMI source setting. [01:50] plustax: does the laptop see the hdmi port? [01:50] I dont know [01:50] plustax: cause xrandr doesn't :/ [01:50] how do I tell? Sorry Im a bit of a linux noob [01:51] celthunder, can you help me fix it? [01:51] plustax: lspci do you see your hdmi port listed? [01:51] plustax, have you tried hitting the function button to enable the output display, maybe the hardware requires that you do that [01:52] celthunder, I dont see it in there, no. [01:52] escott: should still at least see it even if it's not enabled though ? [01:52] escott, function button? [01:52] plustax: Fn+ display button (f5 for me) [01:53] celthunder, i don't know, maybe its some weird hardware switch. plustax look for a blue monitor/projector screen button in your function keys (that is usually what it looks like) [01:53] escott: lol true enough [01:53] yeah i see one. It just turns off my lcd [01:54] oh that [01:54] I pressed it. Didnt do anything. [01:54] plustax, and gnome-display-properties/xrandr isn't showing the other screen [01:54] escott nope [01:54] neither is lspci [01:54] plustax: press it again when the lcd is off type xrandr again [01:54] plustax, what kind of graphics card is this [01:55] plustax: it could not be using a pci connection...though why hdmi would be on anything else? [01:55] nvidiamgeforce 9300m GS [01:55] just needed wireless to work in any event .. so thanks for help celthunder and escott !!\ [01:55] gare: np [01:55] plustax, i understand that nvidia doesn't use xrandr... we've been going at this all wrong [01:55] okay [01:56] plustax, i think you need to use whatever the nvidia screen resolution control application is [01:56] I helped a friend install Natty on her Windows 7 machine using Wubi, and it works great, but now she can't boot into Win7. I've been Linux-only for over a decade so have no clue what is wrong, anyone else have a similar problem? [01:56] escott okay [01:56] back | track 5 released or not yet ? [01:56] escott: that's assuming he's not using the open source drivers (are you plustax?) [01:56] that worked escott! [01:56] Kodec: backtrack.org/.com [01:56] Thank you!!! [01:57] escott: nice catch :( [01:57] hi! [01:57] rmc749: hi [01:57] celthunder, thats why i hate nvidia [01:57] celthunder: This link appears to be broken [01:57] hackel: does grub chainload properly to the windows bootloader? [01:57] Kodec: then google it lol [01:58] escott: better than ati by far [01:58] hackel : could try update grub to see if it detects the win partition ... [01:58] i need help [01:58] rmc749: what's the problem === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO [01:58] celthunder: Well, initially the Windows bootloader comes up with an option for Ubuntu, choosing that goes to grub (which *also* has an option to boot Windows, which returns to the original Windows bootloader). [01:59] hackel: ew? why not use grub and chainload windows (sorry i totally don't trust windows bootloader) [01:59] hackel, sounds like the windows boot.ini has had the windows option deleted [01:59] celthunder: Don't ask me, I've never used Wubi before. :) [01:59] penetrating a network [02:00] rmc749: yours or someone elses? [02:00] escott: No, Windows is still there (it says "recovered"), but if I choose it, it says something about not being able to locate the disk. It *is* reading files, though, and I can see the Windows logo for a second before it crashes. Is it possible that the ntfs partition got corrupted somehow? [02:01] hackel: does safe mode/ command line boot for windows work? [02:02] someone else [02:02] what has happened to ctrl alt b ? [02:02] hackel, ewwww... its possible that it might be corrupted, but it may also be that critical files have been moved within the ntfs system so that the bootloader cannot find them. i think a windows rescue disk is in order [02:02] what has happened to ctrl alt d - that should be ?? [02:02] university [02:02] celthunder: No it doesn't. It just reboots after a flash of a blue screen. It could be that this is just Windows usual crapping out, so obviously I'll look elsewhere for support if that's the case! [02:02] Iron_Chef: ctrl alt d for what? [02:02] celthunder: show desktop [02:02] hackel: sounds like it [02:03] Iron_Chef, the expose feature, have you checked in !ccsm [02:03] rmc749: we can't officially tell you how but aircrack is what you want most likel aircrack wireshark and tcpdump [02:03] Iron_Chef, i have it as Super S [02:03] Iron_Chef: i push + works fine form e [02:04] escott: ah they have used the super key. thanks for that - super d works for me [02:04] I do not mean wifi [02:04] !illegal | rmc749 [02:04] rmc749: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:04] strangely i thing ctrl alt are more ergonomic tho [02:04] rmc749: then what're you trying to penetrate about it? [02:04] so sorry [02:04] rmc749: the network for wired is usually just plug in in an elevated vlan and do what you want [02:05] rmc749: assuming they don't actually check the mac address/static ip's or anything else on those vlans) [02:05] a university would most likely check macs - if they have any sense [02:06] yes.. you've reason [02:06] Iron_Chef: checking mac addresses is a waste of time...takes about 5 seconds to spoof [02:06] celthunder: combined with every other available check [02:06] im having another issue now. it detects my screen, but when I save settings, it freezes my computer [02:06] and most userers wouldn't be able to spoof it [02:07] why do i loose connection when i have my pc on sleep or hibernate === d_atharva is now known as mike [02:07] i have to plug off the router and click auto eth0 [02:07] plustax, i'm not sure we can help much there. it is an nvidia driver [02:07] ? [02:07] thanks .. I will see do ... use backtrack, bye [02:07] how can i decrase grub menu timeout ? [02:07] codex84: think about that a minute [02:07] mike: /boot/grub.cfg [02:07] is there a parents control i can install on ubuntu10.10 to control the available hrs and sites my kids can view?? === mike is now known as Guest89187 [02:07] escott how can I tell if I have the correct nvidia driver? [02:07] codex84: it's because the computer is off perhaps? ;-) [02:07] I upgraded to natty and now the icons in the "system tray" cannot be clicked. Any ideas? [02:08] no when i come out of sleep mode [02:08] cellardoor, mike not the /boot/grub/grub.cfg that is auto-generated it is /etc/default/grub [02:08] plustax: try the open source ones...they're usually just as good as the nvidia ones for most things [02:08] plustax: and they're not proprietary and dependent on nvidia [02:08] ok [02:08] celthunder> : not working [02:08] codex84: can you click on the network manager icon and reconnect? [02:08] Guest89187: ? [02:08] plustax, its not that you don't have the right driver, its that we can't really support that because nobody knows what that driver does [02:09] where can I find the splash screen from 8 . 10 ib ex? [02:09] it reconnects [02:09] you know what, I have no driver on here [02:09] when i plug off the router [02:09] I look in softwae center and see 185 173 [02:09] and 96 [02:09] putn it back on and click auto etho [02:09] do I need any of those? None of them are installed [02:09] codex84: look at the settings for that network, you can select "connect automatically? === sora is now known as Guest71155 [02:10] is already [02:10] checked [02:11] plustax, if you have nvidia-current then you have the nvidia driver. there are a couple alternatives including a plain 2d driver, and a very new reverse-engineered driver called nouveau. i've avoided nvidia for years now so I don't know what works and what doesnt [02:12] codex84: hmm, well that's me done then. i don't use sleep or hibernate out of habit, but i guess it's something to do with the networking internals, linux hasn't really been developed with that in mind, it's mainly used for 24x7 servers, sleep and hibernate has always been a bit flakey :-) [02:13] something needs to be written into sleep that kicks the network when it comes "awake" [02:13] yea when it comes awake,the connection looses i have to power off the router [02:13] codex84: that's a bit extreme [02:13] Iron_Chef: you can add stuff to the wakeup script to do stuff on wakeup === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [02:14] put it back in and than click auto etho than is back online [02:14] ActionParsnip: cool [02:14] Iron_Chef: usually its rmmod then modprobe driver module [02:14] is mad weird because windows didnt do that mee [02:14] codex84: windows is a different OS so it will act differrent [02:14] codex84: windows was written primarily as a desktop, so those UI things are nailed down - apart from hardware manufacturers needing MS $ to survive === Guest89187 is now known as mike_ === mike_ is now known as Guest70836 [02:16] Iron_Chef: http://superuser.com/questions/60473/is-there-a-way-to-call-a-script-when-ubuntu-wakes-up-from-suspend-or-hibernate-mo [02:16] even when the pc is shutdown and i turn it back on [02:16] Iron_Chef: make a regualr script to remove then load the module, then add it to the wakeup stuffs [02:16] escott: found a way to mount the drive :) [02:16] no connection [02:16] maybe is my router idk [02:17] phoenix_, what was the problem' [02:17] escott: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128613 [02:17] escott: check out the solution [02:17] codex84: do you dual boot?

[02:21] usr13: not sure what that means but I can go to the mnt/floppy folder and see my contents of the disk [02:22] phoenix_: Ok, good. Long as it works. Now this is 11.04 ? [02:22] Rallias: Can you log into recover mode? [02:22] usr13: nope [02:22] help, I have files transfered from windows into ubuntu, and can not delete them out of my trash [02:22] 10.10? [02:22] 11.04 [02:23] edbian: yes [02:23] usr13: 10.10 [02:23] ok [02:23] Rallias: Log into recovery mode and create a new user. Can you log in as that user? [02:23] i also have files in a .Trash folder on my usb stick which i can not delete, not even with sudo [02:23] edbian: same issue, allready tried [02:23] Rallias: Does the new user show up in the gui thingy? [02:24] Greetings. First time Ubuntu, first time IRC; interests Audio engineering (guitar) - Billiards [02:24] edbian: nope [02:24] phoenix_: How about un-mounting it? Does that work ok? [02:24] Rallias: What command did you run to create the user? [02:24] edbian: "sudo adduser railmeiser" === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [02:25] Hi there, I am using git as the control version of my code and i got into problems. I am trying to use git rebase in order to fix a few commits i did by mistake, but i couldn't get the result I expected. How do I cancel or get back to the latest commit before the bad ones? [02:25] Rallias: Can you su into that user? [02:25] edbian: yes [02:25] Rallias: Mmm, very strange. Lemme research a bit. === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [02:26] Rallias: Any errors when you try to log in? It just hangs? [02:26] edbian: when I try to login through the gui, yes [02:26] why is my USB stick stuck as a read only filesystem? [02:27] Rallias: What about changing the session to failsafe? [02:27] and yet I can add files, but not delete the .Trash folder [02:27] edbian: failsafe is false advertising [02:27] Rallias: haha, it doesn't work either? [02:27] edbian: nope [02:28] Rallias: Can you try to log into the gui (Causing the problem) and then switch to tty1 and look at the output of dmesg? [02:28] hi [02:28] <[A]ddicted> hi, i'm on 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu, doing kernel modules developpement. i could compile the module using the 2.5.35 source tree from kernel.org but couldn't load it using insmod (version dependancy). how can i get the 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu exact source ? [02:29] please help me format my HDD using GParted :) I am afraid of it [02:29] sup all :) [02:29] [A]ddicted: install kernel-source I believe [02:29] xissburg: how can we help? [02:30] does anybody here experienced -1 channel (airmon-ng) [02:30] ? [02:30] edbian: It worked perfectly before I reinstalled with the alt disk to include full disk encryption, might that be the issue? [02:30] <[A]ddicted> Action-Script done [02:30] <[A]ddicted> ActionParsnip sorry :) [02:30] Rallias: Certainly sounds like it. I've never set up encryption before. Did you wipe everything? What are your partitions like now? [02:31] How do I delete files in my trash folder if they have messed up permissions? [02:31] ActionParsnip: hm I think its a good idea to take an screenshot of GParted to show you guys. How can I do it? [02:31] edbian: I just let it do the dirty work [02:31] I cant even figure out where the trash folder is located! [02:31] !kernel | [A]ddicted may give the packages you need [02:31] [A]ddicted may give the packages you need: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [02:31] xissburg what do you try to do ? [02:31] edbian: It basically farted when I did a full system update and rebooted [02:31] is there a way to find out when a package is going to be upgraded based on it's upstream? [02:31] Rallias: sudo fdisk -l will tell you what the partitions are like. [02:31] xissburg: use print screen then host it on imageshack (or similar) so you have a URL for the image [02:31] Rallias what about recovery mode ? [02:32] basically, I'm trying to find out when the php5-xdebug package is going to be upgraded to 2.1.1 [02:32] Rallias: Did you erase what what you had? [02:32] toneshifter_: That does not work [02:32] ActionParsnip: it takes screenshot of the whole screen [02:32] dp: you could find a ppa with it on [02:32] toneshifter_ tried [02:32] xissbur or just read gparted man [02:32] toneshifter_: one sec, I'll take one screen shot.. [02:32] xissburg: you can crop using tools if you wish [02:32] ActionParsnip: I've looked, but I don't see any that have it [02:32] ediban aht about just formating / [02:32] !ppa [02:32] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. [02:32] edbian: /dev/sda1 is boot, /dev/sda2 is encrypted swap, /dev/sda5 is encrypted main drive [02:32] where is the trash folder located??? [02:32] toneshifter_: yea I read it, but I am still afraid of doing something wrong :/ [02:32] psytech, it is .trash and you will need to use chmod or sudo chmod to change permissions [02:33] what can you do wrong ? [02:33] just format / [02:33] ActionParsnip: I know what a PPA is [02:33] save /home [02:33] Rallias: Mmmm then I don't think the encryption would make a difference. [02:33] and you're home [02:33] :) [02:33] !trash | psytech [02:33] psytech: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [02:33] heh [02:33] Rallias: If it had an encrypted /home that it couldn't read it would make sense that it couldn't log in via gui. [02:33] it is not .trash [02:33] that folder does not exist [02:33] dp: which release? [02:33] Rallias: But / is encrypted and it can boot the system so that must be fine. [02:33] btw my question again did anybody experienced channel -1 (airmon-ng can't force proper channel) [02:33] ActionParsnip: natty [02:34] Rallias: Can you switch to tty1 and look at the output of dmesg please? [02:34] edbian: both home and whole drive have encryption [02:34] <[A]ddicted> !kernel [02:34] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [02:34] ediban what about sudo su ? [02:34] Rallias: You just said you don't have a separate /home [02:34] ActionParsnip, toneshifter_ : http://i.imgur.com/qKl4S.png [02:34] i mean chroot ? [02:34] <[A]ddicted> !Stages [02:34] The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. [02:34] toneshifter_: That does work [02:35] xissburg and what about it ? [02:35] toneshifter_: He also tried creating a new user. He cannot log into the gui as any user. He can su or log into tty1 with any user [02:35] ooh, looks like I can just pecl upgrade it. that should work, provided I have everything [02:35] ubottu: thanks so much [02:35] psytech: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:36] by now I want to format sda1 and sda5. sda1 has/had a trashed Windows XP installation. and sda5 has a working (but old) Windows 7 installation [02:36] xissburg: ok what do you want to do? [02:36] so chroot does not work ? [02:36] do I just have to ' format' both? [02:36] edbian: dmesg only sedbian: Just showed majorset of ath: errors. [02:36] Hi! Is there any way to create a menu for command line progs? [02:36] . [02:36] xissbug what do you try to do ? [02:36] I guess ubuntu is mounting my usb drive in an odd fasion [02:36] edbian: That might actually explain a totally unrelated issue [02:36] Rallias: Each auth error is a failed log in attempt. [02:36] xissburg: well you have some ntfs partitions here, do you have windows installed on the drive? [02:36] there's no auth errors [02:36] Scuffy: what do you mean by "menu"? [02:36] Rallias: Does it give any info about why the login failed? [02:36] nope [02:37] Rallias: ath != auth ? [02:37] edbian: the ath is an unrelated wireless hardware issue [02:37] toneshifter_, ActionParsnip : I didn't try anything yet heh. I want to format both partitions but keep them as is (size, position, etc). Then I want to reinstall Windows 7 and Ubuntu [02:37] Rallias: Ahhh ath5k [02:37] xissburg: sda1 is bootable so I'm guessing thats your windows partition [02:37] edbian: you know of it? [02:37] Rallias: Anywho. Check the /etc/passwd file Is your user in that file? [02:37] Rallias: Of course :P [02:37] ActionParsnip: Windows Xp in sda1 and Windows 7 in sda5 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [02:38] Rallias: Your username should appear near the bottom (especially the one you just created) but look through the whole thing [02:38] xissburg: ok so what is sda6? [02:38] Rallias, could your pam config be messed up [02:38] edbian: it is [02:38] escott: pam config? [02:38] anyone know how to open a full screen game so it is a window? === spirals_away is now known as spirals [02:38] ActionParsnip: ah, just an unbootable partiion where I store files [02:38] Rallias: What about in /etc/shadow? [02:38] turkusama: virtualbox? [02:38] Can I get a hand choosing what bit version of Ubuntu to install? [02:39] Rallias, pluggable authentication modules its how gdm authenticates the user prior to changing its uid [02:39] jrib A list of all command line interactive programs on my computer ( especially the ones that must be configured. [02:39] xissburg: good so far, where do you want to install Ubuntu to (you can resize partitons) [02:39] edbian: lots of random junk that i assume is my password. [02:39] linuxhelp: sure. What are you confused about? [02:39] not exactly [02:39] edbian: I'm able to log into the ctrl-alt-f2 shell [02:39] xissburg: you could resize sda6 and install to the free space in that partiton [02:39] i open diablo 2 and it goes full screen, i want to open it so its shows up as a window [02:39] Rallias, its all in /etc/pam* you could quickly look at that and see if anything looks out of order [02:39] ActionParsnip: I think Ubuntu should go in sda5, and Windows7 in sda1 right? (I hear windows must be installed in the first partition) [02:39] in a window* [02:39] whoami [02:39] How do you PM? [02:40] sorry [02:40] hello [02:40] not familiar to IRL [02:40] IRC* [02:40] TurkuSama: in winecfg you can enable the desktop size (i forget the exact name) but it will make it run windowed [02:40] Rallias: But you can log into tty1 ?? [02:40] edbian: how do i switch tty's? [02:40] k, i'll try that [02:40] linuxhelp: Just talk to us here [02:40] thx [02:40] xissburg: you can install it to any partition [02:40] Rallias: ctrl + alt + F1 goes to tty1 [02:40] hm [02:40] Rallias: ctrl + alt + F2 goes to tty2 etc etc [02:40] xissburg: it just makes life a little easier to install windows first.

[02:47] Rallias: The point of this is to get errors from GDM [02:47] Rallias: Try to log in on tty7 and see if you get more errors [02:47] edbian: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager, could not acquire name; bailingout [02:47] question: I have a partiton.

[02:48] edbian tty7 is where plymouth is hiding [02:48] xissburg, windows will probably want to do its own formatting, but you can format if you want [02:48] ok [02:48] Rallias: what? tty7 should have gdm (the login) on it [02:48] Hello. Does anybody know what is SASL and how to use it? Was cv99f's message serious? [02:48] Rallias: plymouth is the pretty screen you see while the system is booting [02:48] how to force airmon to start card in proper channel ? [02:48] JoFo, no ignore it [02:49] edbian: never mind, thats tty8 [02:49] Rallias: :D [02:49] brb [02:49] regular airmon-ng start wlan0 x doesn't work [02:49] ugh, diablo went full screen and killed my monitor...

[02:50] toneshifter_: Make sure you disable the network manager before you start hacking into another personswifi [02:50] Rallias did [02:50] Rallias, was the name error from gdm? do you have a proper hostname? is the hostname listed in /etc/hosts and mapped to local ip address? [02:50] i've read that there is some path for that [02:51] but im looking for someone who experienced it [02:51] dansku, split [02:51] is this a program/? [02:51] yes [02:51] escott:the name errorwas "WARNING **: Could not acquire name: bailingout" [02:52] Rallias, what does `hostname` say? [02:52] escott: "the-fortress" on the tty8 [02:52] TurkuSama, Yay Diablo. Major nostalgia.. [02:52] i mean airmon said that there are some problems so it runs second wi-fi profile mon0 [02:52] I can't access the files in my partitions. I see them in any file window but I click on them and nothing happens. I right click and click Mount and nothing happens. How to access them? [02:52] and what is `head /etc/hosts/` [02:52] instead playing with wlano0 [02:52] (I am in Live CD) [02:52] but both wlan0 [02:53] escott but i want i t to be many .zip or .rar files [02:53] escott: localhost first, the-fortress second [02:53] and mon0 are running at channel -1 [02:53] Rallias, and both to 127.0.0.1 [02:53] escott: correct [02:53] toneshifter_: Better question is, why are you hacking into wifi? [02:54] why not [02:54] toneshifter_: Last I checked, this channel is not intended for black hat hacking. [02:54] buhehehehe so is testin your own network black hat ? [02:54] :D [02:54] since when ? [02:54] toneshifter_ IKR? [02:54] btw i guess you should read definition of BH before you start judging me :) [02:55] Damn, Mount is not working :( [02:55] toneshifter_: the fact is, people could misinterpret what your saying, and have a history of such [02:55] Rallias: What errors did you get again? Please give the exact error [02:55] xissburg instal ntfs-config [02:55] Rallias, thats a rather unhelpful error message. this is happening after you type in your username/password and attempt to login [02:55] not ubuntu related: anyone know the program that allows you to play games online as if a LAN? [02:55] starts with an H? [02:55] ah [02:55] <_jop> hey everyone [02:55] edbian: first: WARNING**: Failed to acquire org.gnome:DisplayManager [02:56] Rallias i gues only idiots misinterpret what im saying, looking for HAXORS everywhere ^_^ [02:56] edbian: second: WARNING**: Could not acquire name; bailing out [02:56] TurkuSama, it's made by LogMein [02:56] im just bored [02:56] TurkuSama, my friend kept talking about it [02:56] toneshifter_: Misinterpretation is the reason I'm currently banned from #perl [02:56] can't remember what it was called though ._. but you should be able to find it from LogMeIn [02:56] heh as forrest gump said "shit happen" :PD: [02:56] k, appreciate it [02:56] or sth like that :) [02:57] i'll googles it [02:57] Rallias, ooooh those are from dbus, is dbus running? [02:57] TurkuSama hamachi [02:57] :P [02:57] edbian, escott: Thanks for your help, i'm going to try reinstallation [02:57] Rallias: sure? [02:57] not sure if it's running under lnx [02:58] edbian: I haven't pulled down the svn backup yet, i have no valuable data yet. [02:58] Tonshifter, you rock [02:58] i love you [02:58] Rallias: can you killall gdm ? [02:58] edbian: no process found [02:58] wait... [02:58] how do I connect to wifi from a tty [02:58] Rallias: why? It's elaborate [02:59] base station ssid: phoenix, no password [02:59] edbian: I'm going to try to do an apt-get upgrade, i remember some errors mentioning gdm last time. [02:59] Rallias, you have to use iwconfig, and then run your dhclient [02:59] Rallias: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ [02:59] Im dual booting win7 and ubuntu, is it possible to use my win7 partition in vbox? I have a few programs for work that only work in windows and i dont want to have to leave ubuntu everytime i need them. [02:59] ugh...Hamachi... y u no free? [03:00] jrmcm, i tried that... it turned out poorly [03:00] Rallias: It would be much easier to just connect via a wire. I'm fairly certain and upgrade will fix your problem. When searching the web I found many people that claimed they had a partial upgrade or soemthing [03:00] edbian: the only wire I have is attached to my web server [03:00] other wires are 2ft or less [03:00] Rallias: ouch [03:00] escott: what was the problem? [03:00] Rallias: Try to follow that guide [03:01] jrmcm, win7 didn't like that my hardware suddenly changed and decided not to boot under either system. theoretically it should be possible, but it is likely very fragile so be prepared to reinstall windows [03:01] * cretsiah prefers wired connections to wifi [03:01] jrmcm, remember that windows uses hardware profiles to monitor for valid licenses [03:01] sounds like a dell escott [03:02] escott: unfortuatly my laptop didnt come with a recovery disk, so i guess ill just keep to my vbox with xp [03:02] escott: correction, ony hard disk id's [03:03] what is the most ' neutral' storage format? [03:03] fat? [03:03] xissburg: What do you mean? [03:03] xissburg: neutral? [03:03] Quick question about partitions, I have an empty partition, 100 GB's. not the windows drive I have now. Will I be able to install on that 100 GB partition and GRUB will take care of the System Drive on C:? [03:03] linuxhelp: yes [03:04] edbian: ntfs is for windows for example...what is the format that is less tied to an OS? [03:04] my 1Tb was formatted fat32, now i can't transfer my 4gb+ movies on to it [03:04] haha [03:04] xissburg: if you mean accessible by both linux and windows I would say ntfs is your best choice, just to make sure windows can access it also. [03:04] xissburg: I think they can all read fat natively [03:04] xissburg, yes fat is the most widely supported, and least featureful fs [03:04] So tomorrow the IT guys at work are going to install Windows 7 on my machine, onto a special "windows disk". However, I do a bunch of screweing around with partitions and whatnot. I am thinking of doing this: dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img (Basically, backing up the install to a file) to save the installation just in case I screw it up at a later point. Shouldn't I be able to format the drive and restore the backup file and it be EXA [03:04] xissburg: But fat has a limited max file size [03:04] edbian, IdleOne , escott thanks :) [03:05] linuxhelp, yes and yes [03:05] yea Windows sucks...and we have to keep supporting it... [03:05] okay, thanks :D [03:07] LinuxHack3r, you could dd that file right back on top of the disk [03:07] hi everybody [03:07] somebody in china? [03:07] Will I have an issue with Ubuntu other than not supporting dual monitors out of the box but with two different sized monitors? [03:07] escott: Exactly as I was hoping, however if the disk it is installed on is 160GB, will the file be that size or the size of the actual windows install? [03:08] LinuxHack3r: you might want to use partimage if you are just backing a partition [03:08] linuxhelp: what do you mean doesn't support dual monitors "out of the box"? dual monitors works fine for me "out of te box. [03:08] He ust mean in 8.10 [03:08] PalinBachman2012: for the above stated reason? and the partition windows is on will be the only partition...unless 7 uses multiple partitions. [03:08] dd will be the size of the disk you are dd'ing from, in other words however large sda is. you can gzip it [03:08] Really? Last time I used linux (might have been a while ago) it just projected same image on two monitors [03:08] or with his crummy graphics card [03:08] L30, I have a HD 5850 [03:09] LinuxHack3r: thats just what I use when i want to back up partitions [03:09] hi there [03:09] but if you are comfortable with dd [03:09] linuxhelp: you should really understand what you're directing your discontent with.. its not ubuntu/linux, it's ATI that is the problem... [03:09] hi .... twilight its gay .... jsut leaving it out there [03:09] does unity have gnome 3 or 2? [03:09] linuxhelp, its impossible to say what problems you might have, but if you can describe your hardware people might be able to give you a sense of the risks [03:09] escott: Is it a good idea to gzip it? Will that reduce it's size to within reason? IE windows install =20gb, file is about the same? [03:09] somebody hear me? [03:09] hello? [03:09] L30: movie could be gay but i am not [03:09] I apologize. I'm not that really educated on Linux :P just wanting to run and try it out maybe switch over from WIndows [03:09] LinuxHack3r, i certainly would [03:09] shean: we can hear you [03:10] * L30 gives twilight the benefit of the doubt [03:10] L30: i have nothing to do with the movie I use this nick from 2004 [03:10] shean, your in a mainly western room...what do you need? [03:10] yeah. so [03:10] L30: whatever [03:10] LOL [03:10] XD [03:10] linuxhelp: no offense, but that is obvious... the problem is not linux... get upset w/ ATI, for not releasing a quality linux driver. [03:10] !ot > L30 [03:10] L30, please see my private message [03:10] but.. tbh I like Kristen Stewart [03:10] i gotta go... [03:10] isnt she hot? [03:10] linuxhelp, mirroring the image on two displays is the default but that can be changed easily [03:11] I will try it, before I even start using it. They want to activate it from work there, so the IP will be the same. Makes sense to me. So this is the best way I can figure to get the ability to "install" windows 7 on my machine as I wish, for screwups, etc etc. Unless someone has a better idea. [03:11] w00t it works again [03:11] Rallias: what did you do? [03:12] sudo apt-get upgrade, gdm was refusing to update so i did sudo apt-get install gdm and it works now [03:12] Rallias: awesome. Did you connect to wifi via cli? [03:12] nah, thats what network-manager is for [03:12] Rallias: How did you run network manager without a gui? [03:12] edbian: the gui works now [03:13] plus network-manager has a cli interface too [03:13] edbian: nmcli ;) [03:13] Rallias: oh, awesome [03:13] Rallias: good job! [03:13] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [03:13] if I have a software source for maverick, but am running natty, will I run into trouble? =) [03:13] This is a load of my back [03:13] Rallias: :D [03:13] edbian: personally I use wicd in cli, the curses UI is niiiice [03:13] LinuxHack3r, i guess this is a laptop, sure but keep in mind whenever its not online its not getting updates, they may notice if a corporate update keeps disappearing as you reimage the system back to its original install [03:13] now I don't have to tell my boss I ****** up the corporate laptop while trying an upgrade [03:14] Rallias: haha, you fixed it cause linux is great like that [03:14] edbian: do you happen to know the solution to ath5k randomly disconnecting? [03:14] Rallias: shouldn't have given you admin powers, blame them ;) [03:14] escott: Desktop. And could that be a problem? [03:14] Rallias: ooo, now [03:14] no [03:14] oh [03:14] Rallias: whe it drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [03:14] Rallias: yeah [03:14] escott: This is purely for the purpose of me having windows for school increasing my knowledge with 7...has nothing to do with work duties. [03:15] LinuxHack3r, no i'm just surprised you have such access to a computer at the office [03:15] So I get to call Asus about that.Fun stuff. [03:15] Rallias: They won't care I bet [03:15] They said if it happens again to call back [03:15] Rallias: oh there ya go. Call em! [03:15] Rallias: you may have to just disable ipv6 [03:16] Rallias: or add an option to the module to disable n speed [03:16] I'm having problem with DHCP and apparmor, hoping someone could help me [03:16] escott: What do you mean, such access to a computer? I'm sorry, I fail to mention this is my personal machine [03:16] It won't allow me to access my rndc.key in /etc/dhcp3/ [03:17] LinuxHack3r, sorry i was misunderstanding the situation. thought this was a work computer or something... [03:17] ActionParsnip: I'll have to look into that, thanks [03:17] LinuxHack3r, if the school is installing win7 for you why don't you just ask them to install it to a specific partition and dual boot [03:17] LinuxHack3r, what rules would they have against that? [03:18] escott: Oh no, I just wanted to become versed in Access (ok, lets be honest, oobase is nowhere near it, and while I am learning mysql+php, Access is so easy), and a few other tasks. I just want the ability to start from scratch if I end up hosing something. I'm the type that on average installs an OS 6 times a year. [03:18] LinuxHack3r so they're installing win7 on your laptop or the schools laptop? [03:19] Woot, server uptime 6 years in 5 seconds. [03:19] get trisquel and put wine on it [03:19] no offence to ubuntu [03:19] LinuxHack3r: invest in a 2TB hdd and start using clonezilla religiously... cuts down on reinstall time [03:19] escott: Rallias I have a desktop, windows is going on it's own disk, ubuntu will stay on its own. I just want the ability to "go back to fresh" if something changes, or if the harddrive crashes and I need to reinstall, etc. E [03:19] shingen: I am looking into clonezilla. [03:20] i'm logging into a lucid server and I see this... http://dpaste.com/540986/ [03:20] linuxhack3r [03:20] help [03:20] what am i doing wrong? it says i have security updates, but when i try to get the updates, it says i have none [03:20] chanel de c spanish [03:20] shingen: YES! This is what I am wanting, but all i need to do is mirror it once don't I? IF all I want is the original fresh windows install? I think that's what it does isn't it, basically create disk restore points for an entire partition? [03:21] arielsanflo_: ? [03:21] panfist, do you need to run apt-get update first? [03:21] panfist: for one, you are on a maverick server [03:21] Note to self, never /list [03:21] mahir256: actually i named it incorrectly when i installed, and i haven't corrected it. it's 10.04.2 [03:21] chanel de lenguaje c en spanish [03:21] LinuxHack3r: yup... the ultimate solution that you want is a virtual machine if you have the cpu cycles, ram and hdd space to spare [03:21] panfist: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [03:22] !es | arielsanflo_ [03:22] arielsanflo_: 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. [03:22] LinuxHack3r: as virtual machines can restore to snapshots with ease [03:22] shingen: Well I do that with XP right now, but I do want the ability for heavier 3d stuff. [03:22] shingen: assuming a snapshot has been made... [03:22] ActionParsnip: if you're settingup a new vm, why wouldn't you create snapshots? [03:23] shingen: some massochists don't [03:23] ActionParsnip: Agreed [03:23] it still says i have zero updates when i try to upgrade [03:23] http://dpaste.com/540987 [03:23] panfist: then don't sweat it [03:23] ActionParsnip: as Forrest Gump says, stupid is is stupid does ;) [03:24] hmmm...i do wonder if any of you remember 1994 [03:24] panfist: please don't butcher commands like that, if someone gives a command with semicolons and such just run it as one, the interconnecting characters are important [03:24] SO is the consensus that if I use clonezilla to image the partition, I can restore it as it was? [03:24] shingen: fact [03:24] linux was three, gnu was 10, and debian didn't exist (and neither did toy story) [03:26] mahir256: and I was installing slackware on university computers for warez, w00t! [03:26] rofl, but whatever [03:27] mahir256: nothing beats a non-windows partition and a linux boot disk to access it with a password that only the smart people could remember :) [03:27] i have just installed 11.04. it's cool! [03:28] GnoyNait: i hope so ... im thinking of trying to install it along side 10.10 [03:28] hello, ive installed ms windows right after install ubuntu and i cant boot ubuntu anymore, how can i fix such problem [03:28] mahir256: blazing fast T1 that I hogged up all to myself and managed to get 85KB/s even though there were at least 300 ppl on the same line in the uni :) [03:28] or 1 of my many 1/2 busted laptops raflmao [03:28] !grub | ubuntu [03:28] ubuntu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[04:11] ubuntu: depends on virtualization technology used as well as hardware running it and the amount dedicated to the vm [04:11] ubuntu, if you want 3d graphics in both systems usually people run win7 as the host and ubuntu as the guest and install the guest additions to ubuntu. i don't know of any guest additions for windows that would enable 3d graphics with an ubuntu host [04:11] celthunder: no pressure sensitivity, and when I let up on the pen, it stops till I pull the pen far enough away that the tablet itself doesnt sense it [04:12] Show me how to see log file to see what happens with my system since 1 minutes before?

I need to do the following: ln -s ~/Desktop/sage/sage /usr/local/bin/sage [04:32] bin_bash, I have noticed it happens around the times I run TeamViewer on a Dell D600 [04:32] but then I type sage in the terminal and it does nothing [04:32] rcconf, your best bet is to get this card in the hands of a developer, you could browse the v4l mailing list and see if anyone has expressed interest in the card. in some cases developers provide drivers in exchange for hardware or beer, but throwing random kernel modules at it isn't going to work well [04:33] I'm following this btw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SAGE#Getting%20Started%20With%20Sage [04:33] escott: v4l? [04:33] video for linux? [04:33] yes [04:33] Is there a way I can test /dev/sda for read/write errors? I suspect that's what is causing this: http://pastebin.com/re0EHPAv [04:34] I found a russian website [04:34] http://www.linux.org.ru/forum/linux-hardware/627045 [04:34] google translator on the way [04:34] Sterile, so what part was the problem? the final symlink? [04:34] escott, it did not update the awn dock does any one know of a way to upgrade to the 11.04 repositories without upgrading from 10.10 [04:35] escott: I typed it in and it did nothing, so I guess it worked [04:35] escott: but then I type sage in the terminal and it says "command not found" [04:36] Sterile, the purpose of the symlink is to put a file /usr/local/bin/sage in your path that would point at your install of sage in /opt. if it was successful then ls -l /usr/local/bin/sage should show a file pointing to /opt [04:36] slakcphil: it happened randomly while typing into the terminal' [04:36] escott: I didnt put it in /opt though... I unpacked to desktop/sage [04:37] Sterile, if you plan to leave it in your $HOME then just add $HOME/Desktop/sage to your $PATH [04:38] matt__: what sort of drive is it, and how large were you expecting? [04:38] escott: how do I do that? [04:38] escott: t contains the following IC chips: [04:38] Pinnacle 51011810 / MB87J3560 .... the Main video processor (reported to be a Conexant chip by Pinnacle tech support, but they did not know which one exactly) [04:38] Sterile, edit your ~/.bashrc to have export $PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Desktop/sage and logout/login [04:38] bin_bash, is it a Dell? [04:38] escott: I type ~/.bashrc and it says Permission denied [04:39] thune3: sda is 160GB, Data is on sdc, it's 1TB. It is a problem if I'm running from the origin? [04:39] No. MacBook Pro. [04:39] Sterile, gedit ~/.bashrc [04:39] matt__, check the smart status in the disk utility [04:40] escott: how so? [04:40] Sterile, are you taking one of Stein's classes or is this for something else [04:40] escott: alright I'm in there, do I just add a line anywhere or what [04:40] escott: disk utility is a gui! I gotcha [04:40] slakcphil: No, MacBook Pro. [04:40] escott: no I'm just trying to install sage for my work this summer [04:40] what is the current status on data encryption on ubuntu one? ideally,i would like all the data leaving my computer to be encrypted and unreadable without some kind of password. [04:40] escott: and I have no experience at all with ubuntu [04:40] escott: eeeh:(Gimma a se [04:41] bin_bash, anything in /var/log/messages? [04:42] slakcphil: I don't even have that fiel [04:42] exiff, i believe they encrypt on their side, but if are worried you can always encrypt before putting in their folder [04:42] escott: so I just put export $PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Desktop/sage at the end and save it? [04:43] Sterile, yes (double check the capitalization). and then logout/login [04:43] escott: thanks, whats the difference between $HOME and ~ ? [04:44] escott: what about this http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids [04:44] bin_bash, you should... /var/log/messages [04:44] Sterile, one is an environment variable the other is a shell expansion shortcut. I'm pretty sure ~ wouldn't work outside a bash shell. [04:44] escott: search for "# Pinnacle should be 11bd, but they got it wrong several times --mj [04:44] bd11 Pinnacle Systems, Inc. (Wrong ID) [04:44] escott: I see thanks a bunch, gonna see if it works.. [04:45] escott: it's listed there [04:45] slakcphil: It's not there where i do ls [04:45] Xfce or Fluxbox for a lightweight window manager? [04:45] but that is just a list right [04:45] DinVitamin: Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment. Fluxbox is a lightweight window manager. Which are you looking for? :) [04:46] escott: so I open the terminal and only type sage, it still says "No command sage found" [04:46] rcconf, we really can't help you with this. if you are serious ask v4l group how you might compensate them for getting it to work. or write a driver yourself [04:46] bin_bash, cat /var/log/messages or ls /var/log [04:46] Sterile, did you logout? [04:46] escott: after relogging [04:46] slakcphil: no such file or directory [04:46] escott: me to write a driver ? Lolol [04:46] askreet: Just a GUI with no bloat, for a server application [04:46] DinVitamin: GUI... server.. you lost me.. [04:46] :) [04:47] Sterile, echo $PATH it should have /home/sterile/Desktop/sage at the end. and verify that there is in fact a "sage" executable in that folder [04:47] bin_bash, ls /var/log [04:47] askreet: I understand the confusion but I need to have a GUI on this particular server, just to show video. [04:47] escott: file:///home/matt/Dropbox/Public/160%20GB%20Hard%20Disk%20(ATA%20SAMSUNG%20HD160JJ-P)%20%E2%80%93%20SMART%20Data_002.png [04:47] hmmm,i'd prefer it if it were encrypted by the client app before it is sent for storage, i got thinking about this when i started using firefox sync yesterday .it seems the better way to do it imho. it's a deal breaker for me though, im sure they adhere to a strict privacy policy, but i dont want to take that chance (and shouldn't be forced to) [04:47] escott: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/120877/160%20GB%20Hard%20Disk%20%28ATA%20SAMSUNG%20HD160JJ-P%29%20%E2%80%93%20SMART%20Data_003.png [04:47] slakcphil: I'm tellin you bro. it's not there [04:47] escott: wait wait wait.. it looks like my bashrc was reset when I relogged on [04:47] DinVitamin: All kidding aside Fluxbox is very simple and lightweight. If you want something that is going to have no bars in your way, check out PekWM [04:48] bin_bash, hmm [04:48] askreet: Thank you [04:48] DinVitamin: Win+D is your run bar, or right click on xroot [04:48] matt__, so thats the sign things are starting to go bad [04:48] escott: *How bad? Like buy a drive tonight on amazon bad? [04:49] does any one else have super bad trouble with flash? [04:49] everyone [04:50] flash sucks. [04:50] ^-- productive comments only [04:50] matt__, the disk is trying to work around the bad sectors, but it has a sector it still needs to move. that should go down if you check again. how bad is a question of how important your data is. i have 6 backup copies of all my data, because im a little paranoid [04:50] askreet: lol [04:50] Sterile, did you remember to save? [04:51] escott: I did, now I redid it and it survived the login... but when I echo it's stillnot in the list [04:51] bin_bash, is there a /var/log/messages.1 ? [04:51] no there is nothing with messages even when i do ls -a [04:51] Sterile, well .bashrc is not sourced directly but sourced by .profile so you can check if .profile is sourcing .bashrc [04:52] escott: ada (160gb) has 97 bad sectors, sdb (250gb) has 3 bad sectors, and sdc (1tb) has 0 bad sectors. Generally speaking, I feel I'm ok with backups. Using truecrypt to encrypt stuff and then dropbox to back things up, also keeping my data drive as sdc, I feel ok. But theoretically speaking, am I looking at days, or could it go for years (with problems such as dd and ff showing up?) [04:52] escott: and how would I do that? [04:53] bin_bash, or /var/log/syslog [04:53] anyone running on an alpha? [04:53] matt__, i have no idea... i became paranoid when two hitachi deathstars went bad within 2 weeks of each other. hdd failures are much more closely correlated because of environment (temperature/vibration/humidity) than one would like [04:54] Sterile, gedit ~/.profile and see if it references .bashrc (if you haven't made any changes it should) [04:54] matt__: could also be that you haven't run into possible other errors because no read attempts have been made on them since they failed. running a smart long scan should give you a more complete idea. [04:54] does ubuntu have an alpha build? i thought it was x86 and amd64 only? [04:54] escott: Well I'm glad right now my largest data disk is ok. [04:54] Sterile, you could also pastebin your .bashrc (assuming there is nothing sensitive on it) [04:54] slakcphil: this is the only thing right before the cursor freeze [04:54] Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 [04:54] May 10 23:17:01 Jack CRON[18410]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [04:54] escott: no problem [04:54] thune3: running a short scan right now, probably will start the long one before I sleep, and probably will buy replacenet drive/s asap just because. [04:54] hello, I am new to IRC and the ubuntu community, where I can go for general help and troubleshooting? [04:54] mdeangelo272: here. [04:55] great [04:55] I have an asus n13 wireless drive and it not working after I upgraded to 11.04 [04:57] mdeangelo272: but what is it really? if you do 'lspci' in a terminal what chipset does it show up as? [04:57] matt__: your drive has been successfull 96/97 times in remapping bad sectors, not bad. my anecdotal experience is that unrecoverable errors tend to start growing after the first few show up, but this isn't always the case. worth 40$ for peace of mind, i think. [04:58] if I load a module now it will be unload after restart right [04:58] bin_bash, it just happened to me... [04:58] [ 9704.825401] psmouse.c: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 [04:58] anyone on an alpha processor can you please pastebin the output of gcc -v for me and highlight me? thanks in advance! [04:58] thune3: Well I have been wanting to get a ssd for my operating system, and another 1tb (maybe 2tb) drive so I can mirror 1 tb to the other. thune3 I generally like the WD black series, but what would you reccommend? [04:58] flash keeps crashing horribly on firefox and chrome. is there not a patch or a work around for it? [04:58] [ 9704.828435] psmouse.c: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynched.

[04:59] rcconf, yes unless you add it to /etc/moduels [04:59] slakcphil: I don't have anything lol [04:59] avalon_: 64 bit? [05:00] the hardware was detected.. the problem is that there is no /dev/video [05:00] I need to pay someone to write a driver [05:00] bin_bash: it shouldn't be. [05:00] rcconf, see if v4l has a channel, and ask if anyone would be interested in a bounty for this device [05:00] there is #v4l [05:00] avalon_: you're using the 32 bit OS? [05:00] bin_bash: i never had to d/l the 64 bit version [05:01] bin_bash: yes [05:01] ok [05:01] nevermind. can't help you. [05:01] matt__: i don't know what's best, i just look for seagate/wd in the price range and capacity i want. with ssd for OS, any performance needs for storage drives is lessened. [05:01] bin_bash, ooh i found some other... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170093 [05:01] bin_bash: thanks [05:01] thune3: "performance needs for storage drives is lessened"? What do you mean? [05:02] I will need to use window$ very sad [05:02] matt__: if your OS is on SSD, then the drives you use for "bulk" file storage don't need to be speed demons. [05:02] ok, I'm following the instructions on http://kusnier.net/config/how-to-remove-suhosin-patch [05:02] slakcphil: Nope. I can click and scroll, but can't move the cursor [05:02] and entering the cli did nothing [05:02] it says "Quick an dirty install (might break stuff)" [05:02] thune3: Oh of course. Well I've never had an ssd before, but my motherboard supports sataIII, so I WANT to take advantage of it. [05:02] where can I find the "slow and clean install (probably won't break that much stuff)"?

[05:09] hi i'm using 11.04 [05:10] and sometimes when i'm running vlc and chrome [05:10] it just slows down and hangs [05:10] pritojs: i've noticed that chrome and vlc don't like to play together [05:10] this has happened multiple times in the same enviornment with both vlc and chrome [05:10] avalon_:ya i guess [05:11] i was wondering if anyone's found a way to make them! [05:11] I recently updated to 11.04 and now my wireless adapter is no longer working. It is an asus 13n, and I believe that the chipset is 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10), but I'm not sure === pr4ka5a is now known as kaka [05:12] any help would be greatly appreciated [05:12] mdeangelo272: hardware drivers... [05:12] did it for me [05:12] avalon you can block flash content with 'xul-ext-flashblock' extension for firefox, install simply with synaptic [05:12] pritojs: is that the command? [05:13] john___: i was going to say i use it too much but i'll try it. [05:13] Can you not also block flash with noscript? [05:13] no just go to the hardware drivers on your machine... [05:13] and then add the drivers [05:13] i use chrome a lot. does it work with that too? [05:14] mdangelo: it's additional drivers [05:14] pritojs: if I go to the additional drivers, I see there is no proprietary drivers to install [05:14] avalon oh have you already used this extension [05:14] hi [05:14] no i just use youtube and the like a lot [05:15] thune3: Not sure what to look for in a ssd, but this catches my attention ($99 with promo code) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148357&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL051011&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL051011-_-EMC-051011-Latest-_-SSD-_-20148357-L0C [05:15] i use it and it shows flash as thumbnail so you can still play it if you click on these thumbnails [05:15] ah. [05:16] avalon if its just advertisement flash just dont click and it wont be played [05:17] this sound good. i'm doing it right now [05:17] can anyone tell me how to install a needed driver if it installed when the device is plugged in? [05:17] *if it is not installed when... [05:17] Anyone familiar with a typical cut/copy & paste bug , where it delays your mousepad/touchpad from moving the mouse/pointer for a split second.. (very noticable) [05:18] lol === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:20] matt__, http://blog.valerieaurora.org/tag/airbook-ssd/ [05:23] mdeangelo272, first you need to figure out the kernel module name for that device [05:23] escott: i need to read valerie's blog more often. neat article! [05:23] mdeangelo272, then you can add it to /etc/modules to be loaded at every boot [05:23] escott: does that imply that the driver is already installed? [05:24] mdeangelo272, to have it loaded on hotplug may require writing some udev rules [05:24] escott: i see it if I run lsusb [05:24] Here's a dumb question - if I'm writing data to a samba network share and I dismount it, will I thereby cut the connection to copying the data? [05:24] here is a tough question .... I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Fit-PC2 ... but on a MiniSD card. The BIOS supports booting from the SD-card, however its not working out of the box in Ubuntu. How do I do that ? (I believe the solution might involve getting the kernel module SDHCI.KO preloaded, whithin the initram image) ...can anyone help me, plz :-) ? [05:24] escott: not really sure what that means, would I have better luck in the beginners forum? [05:24] Roasted: id hope it complains when you try to unmount it because yes [05:25] mdeangelo272, i think this forum is fine, im just really tired :). you had this working before right? [05:25] is there a linux based peice of software for backing up a ntfs formatted disk, and ignoring free space (ie not raw) ? [05:25] maco, okay, I just need to copy data to 5 different shares as 5 different users. I was curious if I could dismount and re-up the share with the new user account and not interrupt previous ones. [05:26] escott: if I plug the wireless usb device into a machine running 10 it finds it, but if I plug it into a machine running 11 I get nothing? [05:26] mdeangelo272, if this worked with the 10.10 kernel I would boot the old kernel (assuming you didnt remove it), then look at the output of lsmod to determine the module name, and try to modprobe it with the new kernel [05:26] Roasted: 5 times to the same share, but with different owners? why not do the networky part once then cp -R and chown a few times on the remote system? [05:26] Roasted: itd be a lot less waiting on bandwidth [05:27] maco, well I'm migrating data from an ubuntu desktop (my box/previous file server) to a freenas box sitting here in front of me. [05:27] mdeangelo272, if you can't modprobe it with the 11.04 kernel then somehow you lost a driver package and should check the proprietary drivers [05:27] I did a new install [05:27] maco, would I still be able to do that? [05:27] maco, to cp -R from linux to a bsd system over a switch? [05:27] escott: how do i check the proprietary packages? [05:27] Roasted: is it the same data each time? [05:27] maco, for each share? No. [05:27] maco, it's user backups for each share. === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:28] Additional Drivers [05:28] Roasted: ah ok. and now youre saying "each share" -- so not the same share either? why not have > 1 mounted fs? [05:28] hi.. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest60305 [05:28] am I correct, that the repositories are different for different versions of ubuntu? [05:28] yes [05:28] mdeangelo272: yep [05:29] mdeangelo272: same server & directories, but different lists of available packages [05:29] maco, my system was set up like this... two 500gb drives that get rsync'd together. on drive A, I have 5 shares. fred, bob, joe, frank, bill. each user has rights to their respective share and their data backs up there. so each share = personal data. All of this data is what I'm migrating. [05:29] maco, it's just a small home NAS, so it's hardly an issue to do it individually. but if I can learn something new and cp -R everything from this nix box to the freenas box, I might be up for it [05:29] maco: can I try to find packages for 11 in the version 10 packages [05:29] escott: Well...are you satisfied with ssd's or do you stick with drives? [05:29] maco, I'm just not sure I can, due to the way the perms are set up [05:29] mdeangelo272: packages.ubuntu.com [05:30] here is a tough question .... I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Fit-PC2 ... but on a MiniSD card. The BIOS supports booting from the SD-card, however its not working out of the box in Ubuntu. How do I do that ? (I believe the solution might involve getting the kernel module SDHCI.KO preloaded, whithin the initram image) ...can anyone help me, plz :-) ? [05:30] Roasted: are all those users under one dir? like /home/fred /home/bob ? if so, why not mount /home and cp -R all that stuff into it? [05:30] Al_nz1: Partimage has experimental ntfs support. I'm not sure if there is a program with stable support for this or not. [05:31] coraxx: Define "not working". [05:31] maco, No. They mount to /media/storage on my nix system, but /media/storage is the directory they're mounted to - the actual data on the drive just has the raw folders. [05:31] matt__, i haven't purchased one. im waiting for the technology to shake out a bit more first... too many unknowns. TRIM support and how that should be handled is completely up in the air. some hardware vendors want the SSD to provide the FS and the OS does object storage others want to expose low-level details [05:31] hello, how can I add a task bar where I can see the windows of the programs I have open? [05:31] Roasted: is it possible for you to access all the dest folders at once? [05:31] So, I got Unity back up and running, but now the launcher covers the side of all of my maximized pages. Fix anyone?, i also tried changing the setting to auto hide in compiz [05:31] escott: Well Perhaps I'll just buy a sataIII drive then. === sony is now known as Guest72872 [05:32] maco, I suppose I could plug the drive in via usb to the freenas box and attempt the cp -R over ssh... [05:32] escott: it searches for additional drivers but the list never populates [05:32] coraxx, sounds like you are on the right track you would have to gunzip the initrd and add the module and then mkimage it back to an initrd (at the least) [05:32] I have problem print with epson lx-300+ continues form in ubuntu 10.04.if I'm printing page 1 no problem but for page 2 and so on printing can't print such as page 1. [05:32] Roasted: it just seems to me you shouldn't have to mount/umount 5 times given existence of chown [05:32] maco: and suggestions for how I could find the package/driver that I need in the repository? [05:33] So, I got Unity back up and running, but now the launcher covers the side of all of my maximized pages. Fix anyone?, i also tried changing the setting to auto hide in compiz [05:33] matt__, as long as you don't put crucial data on them its probably great, i was considering a raid1 with ssd+normal hdd to get good quick reads but have a safe storage [05:33] maco, what I could do is just temporarily 777 all permissions so I can write the data as my user, then correct he perms later. [05:33] Jordan_U: the boot sequence times out with the error ... could not find root. When I check I can see that the SD-Card is mounted using sdhci.ko on device /dev/mmcsd0p1 ...but not when I boot, as the driver sdhci.ko is not preloaded. [05:33] mdeangelo272: you need broadcom drivers i take it? bcmwl-kernel-source [05:34] escott: Neat idea. But this price is very appealing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136770 [05:34] I have problem print with epson lx-300+ continues form in ubuntu 10.04.if I'm printing page 1 no problem but for page 2 and so on printing can't print such as page 1. any idea?? [05:34] coraxx: How did you install to the SD card? [05:34] maco: I think realtek? [05:34] coraxx, so you got past grub finding the initrd and kernel though [05:34] escott: can a really just unzip the image and add the module just like that !? ...are you sure or is something else required for it to load ? [05:35] how can I change the location of the menu bar? [05:35] coraxx, its just a gzip (specially formated by mkimage, but its just a gzip) [05:35] escott: LMAO I was under the assumption on Newegg the 1Tb SataIII drives were $600+, turns out that pricing is for 20 of the drives. That's the only reason I pulled up such as small drive. [05:35] mdeangelo272: there's a proprietary realtek wireless driver? O_o i thought rtl8187 covered just about all of realtek's wireless [05:35] can anyone point me to some literature on what ubuntu does when a new device is plugged into a USB port? [05:36] maco: thank you, I'll look into that [05:36] I'm having trouble figuring out visudo, bypassing sudo passwd. testing it out on a simple script to update and upgrade, but i am always prompted to give password [05:36] mdeangelo272, its all based on udev rules and pattern matching [05:37] I have problem print with epson lx-300+ continues form in ubuntu 10.04.if I'm printing page 1 no problem but for page 2 and so on printing can't print such as page 1. please advise me.. [05:37] escott: thank you, I'll try to read up on udev === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:37] i tried the same for reboot, halt and shutdown and that works fine, the only difference is the script i point to. any ideas what im failing to see? [05:38] Jordan_U: I attached an external CD/DVD-Drive via USB to the FitPC2 and booted the FitPC2 from a regular 32-bit Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 ...as it recognized the SD-card, I choose it as the destination disk ....and the installation went ahead flawlessly. (however, when I rebooted afterwards, the boot hangs and gives me the previous stated error message) [05:38] #ubuntu-id [05:40] escott: If I buy two "basic" sataIII drives, how "easy" is it to raid them? [05:41] matt__, its easy to create a raid array. setting up a raid array as a boot system takes a little bit more work (to make sure the fstab is correct and the initrd has the mdadm modules [05:42] how to get gcompris latest version on my ubuntu? [05:43] escott: Think I've decided on a wd 64mb sataIII drive, just figuring the size [05:44] Anyone else have a graphic issue when you right click on "add to panel" icon? Where you do get smooth background for wireless and sound icons? [05:44] Ubuntu 11.04 (Classic Desktop) :Anyone else have a graphic issue when you right click on "add to panel" icon? Where you do get smooth background for wireless and sound icons? [05:44] how do i see what application is running on port 6379 ? [05:44] Hi, okay i installed 11.04 through the update manager and everything well but now a couple of days later al of a sudden, i am encountering problems such as unresponsive programs such as evolution, which can't close, also in web browser when i click something its like firefox just freezes and never recognizes my selection, happened to me also in banshee [05:45] Jordan_U: (have you heard of the ebox-platform ... that is the one I want to install ... I'm testing now with Ubuntu and if I can get that to work I will then try with ebox, which is not called Zentayl ...which is sorta Ubuntu derived distribution) [05:45] how to get gcompris latest version on my ubuntu? [05:45] ghostnik11: i freshly installed 11.04 and change from Unity to Classic. [05:45] hello? [05:45] hello [05:45] hhhzzzarn: me too [05:46] I do not like unity so far. [05:46] hhhzzzarn: so the problem is not necessarily 11.04 but unity it self [05:46] i like unity idea to using top panel as title bar [05:46] TurkuSama: right click on your wireless icon on 11.04 classic, what do you see? [05:46] I have problem print with epson lx-300+ continues form in ubuntu 10.04.if I'm printing page 1 no problem but for page 2 and so on printing can't print such as page 1. please advise me.. [05:47] it asks me to remove panel and crap [05:47] TurkuSama: is the background messed up when you right click? [05:47] how to get gcompris latest version on my ubuntu? [05:47] no... [05:47] Nice to see that in addition to already burning coasters of my CDs... GNOME's Disc Burner also COMPLETELY ignores my speed perference. [05:47] Why even have it as an option? [05:47] my background is not smooth gray. it is tabbed. [05:48] I set it at 16x, currently is burning at 35 [05:48] pretty sure my cd burner doesn't operate at that speed [05:49] I regret switching from linux mint 10 to ubuntu 11.04. [05:49] should have waited for linux mint 11 [05:49] Hi all :) [05:49] hhzzarn: why? [05:50] I don't understand the appeal of mint [05:50] I want to type a command apt-get but unable to find terminal for writing command [05:50] i though Unity would be better. [05:50] so dont use unity? [05:50] i am not. [05:50] still, the classic has little problems too. [05:50] i am picky. [05:50] cardapio beats hte crap out of the default applications lens. [05:50] the default applications lens is a cruel joke from someone [05:50] hhhzzzarn, what's wrong with the classic? [05:50] is there any way to see the history of this IRC chat? [05:50] when i right click on wireless icon or sound icon, the background of right click options is not smooth gray. [05:50] it is like tabbed [05:50] actually my computer going slowly using 11.04 compared to 10.10 [05:50] and it looks ugly. [05:51] I'm new to IRC [05:51] like when you swith the top panel to left. you get tabs [05:51] zee313: use windows button and then just click more apps then click by installed the # of other apps and scroll down for terminal [05:51] hhhzzzarn, lol, change the GTK them then [05:51] magn3ts: continue .... [05:51] hhhzzzarn: me too :) But I think the Unity dash shuld improve later. [05:51] hhhzzzarn, um, Google for it. I don't know all the small stps :S [05:52] maco: can you shoot me that realtek driver info one more time? [05:52] hhhzzzarn, it's really easy [05:52] I'm sure there's even a pkg of the default Mint GTK+ theme too.... [05:52] hello all [05:52] mdeangelo272: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187 [05:52] i will try. [05:52] maco: thx, sorry about that [05:53] Oooh, the burner also, besides burning coasters and ignoring the speed I tell it to use... can't eject my drive... and continues to prompt me to, even after removing the disc. [05:53] This is a nightmare. [05:53] My natty upgrade has gone horrible. Apt has wedged my computer while unable to resolve some python version problem. http://pastie.org/1887726 I'm thinking to prune everything "extra" from `dpkg -l` until the dependency problem is resolved. To get there, how do I get a proper list of a normal server's `dpkg -l` to compare against? [05:54] I'm having problems with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc, I'm thinking create a bug in launchpad [05:54] jjore: I think that Ubuntu is not easy to upgrade like arch or gentoo. [05:54] zghaia: I have had a great experience with upgrades for years. Today was unusual. [05:55] hhhzzzarn: should i just wipe whole hard drive and then just re-install 11.04 to see if that will get my computer back to its normal great performance with ubuntu b/c the fact that when i click and i don't get responses in the browser is a serious issue, for me [05:55] yes. [05:55] jjore: hope you will solve it soon :) [05:55] what's a good service i can run to host my own, private PPA on my server? [05:55] i takes less then hour [05:55] how do i tell ubuntu to always create a /dev/xconsole --- I have an rsyslog rule that logs there [05:55] make sure you backup [05:55] Can anyone recommend me a good sticky note software for ubuntu? [05:56] hhhzzzarn: thats the reason why i went with the update b/c its to much info on my laptop to back up, music, photos, research papers, essays and other stuff [05:56] hmmm [05:56] maybe: you can create new partition to backup [05:58] Jordan_U: (did u disappear ?) [05:58] you can resize your current partition for an empty ext4 partition. Back up all your data to the new partition. Fresh install ubuntu 11.04. Recover data. Remove parition. Merge free space [05:58] Wow. cole@cole-ubuntu-desktop:~$ dd if=/dev/dvd | head -c 304179712 | md5sum [05:58] a85b45f08c0f443c035750323b9ee8b9 - [05:58] cole@cole-ubuntu-desktop:~$ md5sum ~/Torrents/Linux/Ubuntu\ 11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:58] 7de611b50c283c1755b4007a4feb0379 /home/cole/Torrents/Linux/Ubuntu 11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso [05:58] magn3ts: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:05] vorian_: what's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [06:05] celthunder lemme check [06:05] celthunder: thank you [06:05] sorry about the 'flood' [06:05] mdeangelo272: lol not a big deal [06:05] I've just added a new HDD, the new drive is now /sda and my normal system drive is now /sdb. Should I change the order of the SATA cables on the motherboard? [06:06] celthunder ah, it has my nameserver as the same as my gateway. I'm going to try adding a real dns server [06:06] FyreFoX: if you're using disk by uuid (which you should be) you''ll be fine [06:06] hi [06:06] so i have a Intel(R) WiFi Link 5000 Series WLAN Half-Mini Card ... is there a way to find how to install the linux driver? the dell website doesn't show anything for linux [06:07] Guys my cursor suddenly stopped working, but the buttons work and i can scroll. i can't reboot right now. [06:07] er PyjamaSpank sorry if you're using uuid instead of /dev/sda references when mounting in /etc/fstab you''ll be fine [06:07] MoMo: what's the chipset in it? [06:07] vorian_: 8.8.8.8 is a good one to use [06:07] celthunder: thats what i can't find -- [06:07] celthunder: my resolv.conf has: domain Belkin search Belkin nameserver 192.168.2.1 [06:08] celthunder: even when I changed it to the google DNS it still doesn't work [06:08] vorian_: put it to just nameserver 8.8.8.8 [06:08] I can't ping anything either, even my gateway [06:08] celthunder, I am using UUID in fstab. I was about to format the drive when I noticed it was now sda. Conky is still using the old drive as /dev/sda, would conky use UUID as well? [06:08] vorian_: ok what's output of ifconfig -a and route (no arguements) [06:08] MoMo: lsusb [06:09] hi [06:09] bsk: hi [06:10] celthunder: i see a lot of linux foundation 1.1 and 2.0 root hub, bluetooth, integrated touchpad and keybaord [06:11] celthunder: ifconfig -a gives me the proper stuff (192.168.2.9 for my addr, *.255 broadcast, /24 netmask. route gives me three entries: 192.168.2.0 - *, link-local - *, and default 192.168.2.1 - 0.0.0.0 [06:11] celthunder: I received an error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/606004/ [06:12] Is the OEM install still working? I've never actually used it. [06:12] celthunder: this happened after I installed the samba package [06:12] celthunder: i've removed it but the issue persists [06:12] PyjamaSpank: i don't use conky look at conky docs [06:12] celthunder: many thanks for that information, it's pointed me in the right direction and helped me understand UUID better [06:12] Can anyone tell me what will happen when I do a fresh install and tell it to use my other hard drive for /home ??? will it prompt me to create a user still? This is very important . [06:13] IE: the place where I already have my user acct, etc. [06:13] magn3ts: you can do custom partitioning and skip user creation i'm assuming any reasonably decent installer will leave your /home alone [06:13] Is the installer smart enough to recognize that there's already a user acct or not? [06:13] celthunder, so when I create my same user account again it will not try to create a new home dir? [06:13] magn3ts: no idea...i don't use ubuntu [06:14] :/ [06:14] or it's retarded setup [06:14] there is a way to show linux know exist home is on other partition [06:14] magn3ts: if you tell it to use the existing /home it will still prompt for user name and password. provided you use the same ones you wont have any issues [06:15] IdleOne, it will silently fail to create the home dir or it checks and sees its existing? [06:15] I just want to make sure it won't go. OM NOM and just overwrite it with the default new home dir. [06:15] vorian_: samba doesn't really change your dns....how're you testing this? can you ping using ip's instead of hostnames or ? [06:15] magn3ts: you will have to go into advanced in the partitioning part of the install and tell it where /home is make sure you uncheck the format box. [06:15] yeah I know that. [06:16] celthunder: I can't ping anything - even my gateway [06:16] I think it will be okay. I can't imagine the devs would be silly enough to let it wipe it out; [06:16] magn3ts: so as long as you tell it where /home is it won't create a new /home [06:16] magn3ts: First rule, make a backup, then go CLI or Text install, but always make a backup. [06:16] gnewb, well I can't say no one told me to. lol [06:16] wish me luck [06:17] GL [06:18] vorian_: hmm...ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.244 netmask 255.255.255.0 then ifconfig eth0 up then route add default gw 192.168.2.1 [06:18] vorian_: Have you tried restarting networking? (ex: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart) [06:18] vorian_: then echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf [06:19] vorian_: does it work after that? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [06:19] how to bounce emails with Evolution ?? any one know how to or direct me to a site with instructions ? thanks [06:19] wn1zid: create a rule? usually it's server side you'll want to bounce mails not client [06:19] much cleaner if the server bounces it [06:20] hmmm, i was wondering cuz thunderbird has mail redirect plugin tht does it [06:20] celthunder: no that does not work [06:21] celthunder: i have a feeling the problem is bigger than DNS, I can't ping anything internally either [06:21] vorian_: what's in your /etc/hosts? [06:22] celthunder: nothing special [06:22] vorian_: does your gateway accept icmp anything in iptables -L ? [06:23] celthunder: there's no entries returned when I run that command [06:24] vorian_: ok did you kill network manager before running the ifconfig commands (or any network utility that might mess with it) [06:24] celthunder: yeah. and the issue is persistent across reboots [06:25] speak indonesia? [06:25] Does anyone have that 'screenshot' of the keyboard shortcuts for unity? === Prodego_ is now known as elapse [06:26] usr13: you there? [06:27] vorian_: hmm can your gateway see the computer ? (can you check from another computer) [06:27] celthunder: timeouts [06:28] vorian_: ? [06:28] celthunder: there is no ping response, but it does get a DHCP address when I boot up [06:29] !info moc [06:29] ok [06:29] moc (source: moc): ncurses based console audio player.

[06:29] here is a challenge. If I want to modify an Ubuntu installation procedure ...so that 2 things are added ...number 1) when the media boots in includes a kernel modules of my choice before instllation begins ...2) that kernel module will also be included in the initfs-image ...how to I go about that ? [06:30] celthunder; it seems to work while on ethernet, just not wifi [06:31] vorian_: ok is it using any security settings? try turning them all off when testing [06:31] celthunder: where can i find them? [06:31] especially that wierrd security stuff that isn't even wpa/wep it's just there anddoesn't label what it's doing [06:33] I bought a Hewlett Packard Officejet 5600 All-in-One printer. hp supplied CDs for Windows and Macintosh but not for Linux. How can I print using Ubuntu 10.04.2? (I have never printed using Ubuntu yet.) I have heard that there is a printing program cups. [06:33] !cups [06:33] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[06:35] multipass|2: you mean can it run under linux, or can it clone a linux partition? [06:35] can it clone and restore a linux image via live cd [06:35] bullgard4: like you normally do, you open the document you like to print and you select "print" in the app you are using to read that mentioned document [06:35] bullgard4: system > administration > printing and click on add printer [06:35] IdleOne: they do not get detected automatically? [06:35] i do like clonezilla, but have one issue(not a big issue) [06:35] multipass|2: hmm, not really sure... i always use clonezilla..

[07:02] if you're getting an IP from DHCP you should be able to ping your default gateway. if you cant ping the gateway you're getting thru DHCP then your router is misconfigured [07:03] vorian_: is it really connected to the network? can you ping your local gateway, and then your wan gateway?

[07:05] gnewb mom ill paste you [07:06] MagePsycho, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:06] is it better than gnome or unity?

[07:07] MagePsycho, then at login choose kde [07:07] great.. [07:07] but what about the looks [07:07] anyone can help me install drivers? it's probably pretty basic for y'all... but I've been hooked on Microsoft too long [07:07] is it better than unity / classic [07:07] :o [07:08] skrewler / e-frame : I'm getting I/O on wlan0 when I bootup (i guess for dhcp etc) and then it just...stops. [07:08] gnweb that should give you more info (i hope) http://paste.debian.net/116599/ [07:09] gnewb if you need more to know just ask [07:09] I have hairy nipples! Help it's attacking a baby seal!

[07:13] when i move a window close to the edges of the screen (in an attempt to tile) in ubuntu 11.04, the window is maximized automatically, how can i disable this annoying new feature? [07:14] help please, would like to get my soundcard going... dunno what the fuck i'm doing [07:14] vorian_: your IP is 192.168.2.9 and your resolv.conf contains 192.168.2.1 that's your default gateway. you should be able to ping your own gateway. Then try to ping your wan IP, and your WAN gateway (usually same segment, but on ISP side) [07:14] how do I run ./configure script in Ubuntu? [07:15] pokeyouindaeye: open a terminal, and type at the prompt [07:15] pokeyouindaeye, just like that, ./configure [07:15] e-frame; like I said, no pings come back. In fact, it doesn't look like there is any traffic leaving my host. let me check... [07:15] e-frame: yeah, when I attempt to ping any address, or open a browser or whatever, I get no I/O on my interface [07:15] does anyone know how to setup empathy so that it actually works properly? [07:15] it tells me: base ./configure: no such file or directory [07:16] mitch [07:16] pokeyouindaeye, make sure that file is in your path [07:16] !sound | pokeyouindaeye: [07:16] pokeyouindaeye:: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[07:17] e-frame yes it's dhcp, which is very strange considering that after the interface comes up nothing works. [07:18] vorian_: The output of "route" on command line will help you solving this.

Any Help ? [07:22] gnewb i belive xorg-video-abi-9.0 is a somehow "wrong" dependency... i googled it but the package does not even exist [07:22] gnewb can i somehow overwride it or set it right [07:23] born2troll: Did you read that part about the kernel? [07:23] rage: Is unity working properly on your laptop? [07:23] sagarchalise, maybe some info here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Troubleshooting#Software%20Issues and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8061988 [07:24] gnewb no^^ how do i update the kernel? [07:24] vorian_: and the content of /etc/resolv.conf too :) [07:24] sagarchalise: The ~/.ICEauthority problem is from running GUI applications with sudo rather than gksudo. [07:25] e-frame: everything is OK with it...I just brought the interface up/down and did some other stuff and it didnt work. [07:25] bornt2troll: Let me go back and look again, I have 8 instances opened now,,, [07:25] e-frame you won't believe this but I ran dhclient and it seems to have fixed it, rebooting now to test [07:25] Hi, I'm having a problem installing nvidia-96... it seems that its dependancies are a little broken... [07:25] sagarchalise: You can fix the problem by chowning ~/.ICEauthority back to your user from a console, and prevent it from happening again by always using gksudo instead of sudo if you need to run a graphical application as root. [07:26] yo mamafuckers [07:26] atlef: actually the home folder doesnot have mentioned .IECauthority file Jordan_U [07:26] hi since upgrading to 11.04 dragging windows the window doesnt drag anymore it doesnt move until the mouse stops moving then just jumps over.

[07:27] e-frame: nope, didnt work. it seems my connection is intermittent. [07:27] Jordan_U: yup tried copying it from gdm as well as creating it but none work [07:27] I'm having trouble with gwibber can anyone help me out ? [07:27] e-frame: this was caused by a samba package I installed and then removed because it caused this problem. does that help? [07:27] born2troll: Have you updated the Launchpad Keys? [07:27] Jordan_U: all the ownership and permission are set to default user [07:28] how can know how many data lines of my cpu? [07:28] siema chuje [07:28] hyhyhy [07:28] vorian_: depending on your samba server. samba can also act as dhcp. cmiiw. [07:28] gnewb yes... its setting the keys automatically when you follow the tutorial [07:28] ale debile [07:28] osama has killed everobody fucking amercinas [07:28] . === fgghbv is now known as Obama [07:29] vorian_: but there should be only one dhcp server on the same network segment [07:29] http://paste.debian.net/116601/ [07:29] allah agbar!! [07:29] born2troll: Okee dokee, that is a big help in that PM or PBuild. [07:29] there is only one server, is it possible that my samba package is trying to make my client act as a server? === LULLING_HARD is now known as not_annoying [07:30] E-frame: not strictly true. You can have many dhcp servers as long as their IP pools don't overlap [07:30] gnewb sry i dont understand... === roycerem1r is now known as royceremer [07:31] born2troll: Are you using or behind a Proxy? [07:31] yeah guys i know that, what i mean is do the standard samba packages automatically setup the system to do strange things (like act as a dhcp server or try to get addresses from a different protocol)? [07:31] Hi, I'm having a problem installing nvidia-96... it seems that its dependancies are a little broken... since it requires nvidia-96 : Depends: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.8.99.905-1ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed (1st one can't be installed because of hte second or something like that... how do I get this driver? [07:32] gnewb my kernel is 2.6.38-8-generic-pae . should be fine shouldnt it? [07:32] What do you guys recommend for a good multi-protocol IM client? [07:32] ActionParsnip: how about clients' unregistered mac address. which dhcp will serve them ? [07:32] genewb im behind a router but no firewall or proxy [07:32] lcawte: are there any bugs logged? [07:33] born2troll: Yes that one should work with this DEB. But that is where I am getting a bit lost at myself, is this a DEB, PB, RPM or alien? [07:33] ActionParsnip: not sure [07:34] e-frame: depends how screwed down you set the service. A client requests dhcp and will naturally get a reply from the logically closest service. [07:34] gnewb i am useing ubuntu 11.4 wich i updated from 10.10. i think its useing deb [07:35] lcawte: have a look. It may be a known issue [07:35] lcawte, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/741930 [07:35] Ubuntu bug 741930 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 (Ubuntu) "[natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:35] There you go :) [07:36] go go go [07:36] whats the best way to setup remote desktop for ubuntu so i can RDP from a windows machine? when i open remote desktop prefs it tells me "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network" [07:37] is gdm genral display manager [07:37] lcawte: you may find xorg edgers ppa gives the version but its very experimental. It may just work though [07:37] or gnome display manager [07:37] born2troll: Is that pkg a deb or a binary? [07:37] ubuntu 11.04 is good [07:37] !rdp [07:37] Hmm [07:39] !ltsp| lucksmack [07:39] lucksmack: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [07:39] ActionParsnip, thanks, reading [07:40] seems i may need to configure my router. [07:40] lucksmack: you may want to look at why you are connecting. There may be a sleeker solution [07:40] ActionParsnip: what if I have dhcp server on 192.168.1.1 with range 192.168.101-150 and dhcp server on 192.168.1.2 with range 192.168.1.151-200. which IP range will i got if i plug a new client pc? [07:41] gnewb i dont know... i think a binary... there is a -dev there too [07:41] e-frame: either and it doesn't matter as both are in the same subnet [07:41] ActionParsnip, well ive been using team viewer which works well. but gets laggy at times. so if that stays to be a better option then fine. but i also do RDP from windows to windows and it works really nice. just trying to get a similar setup with linux if possible [07:42] e-frame: you can also tell each server to define a different default gateway or dns servers [07:42] I can't seem to find where to enter login information for SMB in nautilus [07:43] lucksmack: sure but what do you do when you connect? [07:43] ActionParsnip: that's what i was talking about. so it will matter about the gateway and dns. [07:44] e-frame: you can set both to give the same gateway and dns if you wish [07:44] what the hell is this [07:44] ActionParsnip, at home a have a small test web server as well as some bindings to my web server online which i dont have available on my windows machine. i was considering setting up a VM for it but dont want to take that much time configuring everything. [07:44] irc doesnt allow me to join python [07:44] after register verify [07:44] also [07:44] jhala: ubuntu support. Try reading the channel banner [07:45] ActionParsnip, im not doing anything with graphics. most intensive app i will probably run will be a browser [07:45] gewewb is there a way i can get the package xorg-video-abi-10 ? its the not met depency [07:45] ActionParsnip: so what's the benefit of 2 dhcp server on same network segment with same config except ip range? [07:45] hey guys how can i create a workgroup between windows 7 and ubuntu 11.04 [07:45] ? [07:45] Jhala: ask in #freenode they will be able to advise [07:46] can someone point me to some info about graphics drivers for Intel i915 mb's? [07:47] I want better graphics support for this onboard video... [07:49] e-frame: different settings for lumps of systems, if the segment is very large it can speed up dhcp. Usually (as you said) there would be 1 per segment and use interconnection devices to break it up but if not then it can be useful and can be done [07:49] palhmbs: its in a default install [07:50] Awolf: install samba and your system will play well with the windows systems [07:51] ActionParsnip, so the xorg package intel should support it, including GL - 3D? [07:51] lucksmack: surely the system accessing the remote system has a browser... [07:51] ActionParsnip, it's lsmod or something to find out which module I'm using is it? I've forgotten... [07:51] what is the best way to wipe entire hardrive and do fresh install of 11.04, should i do it through install cd [07:52] palhmbs: i have the same chip in my laptop. Works with no config [07:52] ActionParsnip, would it make a difference if I've just poked a new mb in an existing install? [07:52] palhmbs: sudo lshw -C display [07:54] Is it possible to know how many members subscribed to each Ubuntu mailing-list (something like http://lists.debian.org/stats/index.html ) ? [07:54] ghostnik11: sure, partitioning is part of the install process. Be sure to backup the data and config you need [07:54] ActionParsnip, 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [07:55] actionparsnip: what do you mean by config? [07:55] ActionParsnip, hardinfo says it don't have any GL support :( [07:55] hi [07:55] anyone can help? [07:55] has001: are you sure that your router is connected to the internet? [07:56] well my other pc is working normaly jbache [07:56] same router [07:56] palhmbs: ok now you can use that to find guides. If you use a laptop try searching for guides of people setting up Linux on it [07:56] but last night i did shut down the router, normaly with windows i need to release ip and flush dns [07:56] hello good morning, pls how do I find out if Javamail is installed on my ubuntu system? [07:56] ActionParsnip, bd - thanks [07:56] no idea about ubuntu [07:57] ghostnik11: if you edited any config files you should back them up. I have no way of k [07:57] I want to download ubuntu repository for ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS 64bit for offline use. Can anyone guide me on this [07:58] suniil: perhaps read the doco on setting up a repo mirror [07:58] palhmbs: knowing your system so I can't say for sure [07:58] jbache also the network connection is gone from upper right corner, [07:58] mosno: can you provide me the link (if possible) [07:59] ActionParsnip, np - appreciate the help you have been [07:59] actionparsnip: the only config files i might have edited was back in 10.10 and 9.10 and that was with xorg file when it came to my screen resolution but i thought xorg got thrown out or updated to a newer file, any i should be good, thanks will be back if i mess up [07:59] suniil: like a local repository for lan use? === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL [07:59] ActionParsnip: yes, you are right [08:00] suniil: i just googled the answers pretty quick [08:01] suniil: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [08:01] ActionParsnip, #intel-gfx - omg - so awesome! [08:01] * palhmbs jumps at the intel devs [08:01] ActionParsnip: i understand single dhcp server for multiple network segment. but still don't get it on multiple dhcp server on single network segment, except for speeding up dhcp. still need more readings. thanks anyway. [08:01] When I run the update manager it seems to think I'm following maverick. Why? [08:01] ActionParsnip: why point to 3rd party doco when there is doco in the ubuntu.com domain? [08:02] ActionParsnip: I am check the link provided by you, just a minute [08:02] Mosno: tell me about it. Seems web searchengines don't work on all systems [08:02] ActionParsnip: ? [08:02] Mosno: seemed concise. Achieves the same goal. [08:02] can someone help me getting a script to run? it's short [08:03] ActionParsnip: will this mirror the package specific to my release or it will mirror all the contents [08:03] does anyone know how to save there bookmarks or where would bookmarks be in ubuntu so i can save them to external hard drive as back up [08:03] suniil: every and all [08:03] ActionParsnip: I want specific to my release. [08:03] alxyon: details please [08:03] #!/bin/bash [08:03] cd /home/joe/Downloads [08:03] java -jar AlienFXLite-0.4b.jar [08:04] [08:04] is what im trying to do [08:04] alxyon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:04] sorry [08:04] I need to make that sudo [08:04] but i cannot get a password prompt [08:04] suniil: sorry it will be only the release you are on as far as I am aware [08:06] alxyon: you will need to mass around with visudo then [08:06] ghostnikll : hi in both chorome or firefox you can go to bookmark manager and export it as html [08:06] Failed to execute child process "xchat" (No such file or directory) <- what's going on ? [08:06] after i did shutdown and then restarted my router, my ubuntu stopped connecting to internet, any one can help? [08:06] ok ill work on that, thankyou [08:06] ActionParsnip: I am not sure, I dont know why I feel that this will mirror everything not just .deb specific to my release. [08:07] suniil: because its a local repo like the ones you install from so you will get all packagea [08:08] has001 : check dhcp settings in ubuntu and also in your router if you are using one [08:08] suniil: if you only want debs for the packages you have installed you can [08:08] let me check [08:10] http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/openoffice.org < really, cmon, I want to use OpenOffice.... [08:10] ActionParsnip: how, I just want all the packets specific to my release only. [08:10] suniil: you will get packages only to your release if you set it up, so read again http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1512787 [08:11] Hi, guys! I cannot adjust brightness on my laptop after kernel update. What to do? [08:11] infobit: yeah i just did the manual backup to my external, i am hoping that it will allow me after a fresh install to restore all my bookmarks and the folders that i save bookmarks in with firefox [08:11] infobit: thanks [08:11] MaRk-I: Thanx, I am going to this thread [08:11] suniil: you can tell apt-get to only download the debs. So if you use the !clone factoid commands to get the list of installed package names in a text file you can then tell apt-get to download the debs [08:12] suniil: is that what you mean? [08:12] Making package openoffice.org transitional package of LibreOffice is not cool. [08:12] Especially when i moved from Lucid to Natty === windparadise_ is now known as windparadise [08:13] ActionParsnip: I know there is download only option is available, but in that case I have to specify all the package names. [08:13] ActionParsnip: I want to download all the package specific to my release, all, without being specified. [08:13] Hi, guys! I cannot adjust brightness on my laptop after kernel update. Is this a problem with video drivers or kernel problem? [08:13] hey i got a ques guys [08:15] hi guys. [08:15] neo3 : check out settings first [08:16] is there a graphing tool to envision sar data files ? [08:16] suniil: then look into apt-mirror. There may be some options to tell it to only pull natty debs down (or whatever you use) [08:16] infobit: what settings? [08:16] ActionParsnip: yes I am searching the man page [08:17] So basically, no transitional packages for openoffice.org anymore in Natty? [08:17] drive settings [08:17] neo3 :sorry driver settings [08:17] what kernel command produces modules.dep? [08:18] infobit: do you mean NVIDIA X Server Settings? [08:18] neo3 : ya [08:18] suniil: its great for loads of systems on LAN as web updating 100 systems is silly but a local server pulling stuff down then the systems using that is great. Think WSUS ;-) [08:18] K, gona switch distros then. [08:19] infobit: there are like before kernel update [08:20] Gynter: openoffice make debs for their suite. === mirco_ is now known as mirco [08:20] Cryptopsy: depmod -a [08:21] ActionParsnip: did you understand, what is my requirement? [08:21] Cryptopsy: run it in root recovery console if you get no desktop [08:22] does make call depmod? [08:22] ActionParsnip: I wonder why someone wants to use openoffice, rather than LibreOffice, which is just a new fork of openoffice ? [08:22] suniil: as far as I can tell, the debs for the installed OS of a local repo. [08:23] coraxx: there are differences [08:24] ActionParsnip: ok... I'm curious ... do you know some of the differences ? [08:24] because a lot of bandwidth is consumed during updating new systems. I want to dowload all the debs once on my server and share to all the systems on my lan. [08:24] ActionParsnip: because a lot of bandwidth is consumed during updating new systems. I want to dowload all the debs once on my server and share to all the systems on my lan. [08:27] suniil: then you can use the download only option of apt-get then use aptoncd to distribute. Or setup a local repo on one system then tell the other systems to only use it for updates. This gives one download from the web which goes to many systems [08:27] can anyone point me to a recent post on how to set up the ntp client in Natty? [08:28] !time [08:28] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [08:28] the correct Time Zone shows up under Date and Time, and the auto update option is checked, but it's not updating.... [08:29] hi [08:29] can I have getty open a distant login on a console (like /dev/tty1 ), instead of a local login ? [08:29] Geoffrey2: ntp is largely unchanged so 'recent' won't change the method [08:30] if anyones using NX to remote into a machine....how do i set it to just use my private key and not worry about my password? [08:30] ActionParsnip, ok, I just don't remember having this time clock problem with the last several updates, but the time is exactly four hours behind what it should be.... === ghisen is now known as Ghis|Work [08:31] Geoffrey2: have you try to update time manually in the terminal? sudo ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org [08:32] Geoffrey2: try: ntpdate ntl.ubuntu.com or have you done that? [08:32] <_ruben> havok: last i checked there was no such option :( [08:32] hi, how does the system choose which app to kill when out of memory ? [08:32] <_ruben> been a while though [08:32] hmm. seems pointless then? [08:32] putty is awesome now, it doesn't ask me for a password, just a user [08:33] but i want the same for NX...i don't want to just have it save my password cause then i can turn off standard login [08:33] <_ruben> nx has more limitations, it's multimonitor support is crap as well, basically non-existant, unless that changed as well [08:34] IcemanV9, that did it, thanks [08:34] anyone good at bazaar here or know where to ask questions about it? :) [08:34] <_ruben> #bazaar ? :) [08:34] check it out, very few peeps in there :D [08:34] Geoffrey2: excellent : ) [08:34] checked* [08:34] Geoffrey2: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [08:35] neo3:did you got it [08:35] Nm :) [08:36] recommend an alternative _ruben? [08:36] Does anyone know if the radeon 9800 pro works well in ubuntu? Or linux, itself? [08:37] ActionParsnip, ok, I'll have to see if that holds next time I reboot [08:38] havok: many apps have web interfaces as well as being interfaced with by ssh (if you tell putty to store your username you don't have to type that either) [08:38] now, we just need to find a fix for that fun dmesg bug..... :) [08:38] cheers ActionParsnip, i look for that option in putty.. [08:39] uabn93: it's old enough that it should be covered in the free drivers [08:39] havok: what do you do when you connect with nx? === amorphous1 is now known as amorphous-UDS-Ta [08:39] previously i didn't save the password, so just used username/pass combo [08:39] but i want to disable that over ssh [08:39] hi === amorphous-UDS-Ta is now known as amorphous-Tas [08:40] unless nx is talking directly to the nx-server rather than using ssh.... [08:40] havok: i don't use nx so not sure [08:41] Havok: what remote activities do you do via nx? [08:41] um not much at the moment...i've only just got the remote box so i'm playing around with stuff [08:41] the one i app i do use has a nice web frontend [08:41] tensorpudding: i'm guessing the open source are better than the proprietary. is this right? [08:41] BTW, the upgrade/reinstall went exquisetly [08:41] oh wicked got putty to save username, that makes life easy :D [08:41] cheers guys [08:41] it's nicer to have an open-source driver [08:42] Havok: :D [08:42] for newer cards the open driver isn't feature-complete, and only the non-free one provides everything [08:42] any answer for me please? [08:42] the 9800 pro is damn old though [08:43] what is recommended for backup? [08:43] windparadise: i can't see your question. Wassup?

[09:25] Dr_Heckle: afaics, not at all, at least not w/ installation from an offline medium since these don't carry proprietary software [09:25] hi guys [09:25] i have an "idiot" question [09:25] i've just reconfigured X for 2 monitors [09:25] thats for us to decide lol [09:25] and the taskbar/menubar are in what i consider the "wrong" monitor [09:26] nit-wit, szal, what if i have an internet connection during installation? (if i wi-fi counts) [09:26] Ubuntu won't let me set my monitors resolution. (http://pastebin.com/HUKBnx0B) [09:26] Dr_Heckle, never heard of it being done. [09:26] :/ [09:26] well then that option to try to fix my issue is out [09:26] just a question: how can I restore the applet in the top right corner of the screen (which showed my username and I could change my empathy status and access Ubuntu One) [09:26] ? [09:27] Unity refuses to work :) [09:27] now, can anyone tell me where to look for the appropriate option to chagne? [09:27] change, even [09:27] Whisperity, are you using unity? [09:27] Dr_Heckle: I installed Natty the other day using the alternate CD and don't remember a point where I could make a detailed choice of what software to install.. you could try the netinstall CD (if that works w/ wifi; no idea) and see if that comes up w/ a more elaborate method of selecting software at install time [09:27] no [09:27] I have Maverick installed [09:27] any reason why the time on the taskbar would be missing in 10.04? a reboot sometimes pulls this back, or switching to another theme and then back to the original theme gets it showing again.. [09:27] I uninstalled something regarding to gwibber to fix Facebook in Gwibber [09:27] but I don't know what I did [09:27] szal, it's the server edition [09:27] Dr_Heckle, use the low grphic boot from the recovery 3rd,4th,or 5th ldown in the gui [09:28] *line down [09:28] Whisperity, try r-clicking on the pannel/bar, and choosing "add to panel", then add one of the "Indicator Applet"s [09:28] one of them should have it... [09:28] would anyone like to try fielding my question? :P [09:29] unless you didn't re-install what u needed to re-install [09:29] Dr_Heckle, go to menu-system-admin-additional drivers after running a update upgrade [09:29] nit-wit, the driver is installed [09:29] where my themes icons is getting installed in ubuntu natty where i find the icons [09:29] but unity doesn't work [09:30] if someone helps me I will make them a shish-ka-bob [09:30] i tried but it's not there [09:30] and during my 1st logon, i was told something to the effect of "no unity 4u cause u need ur drivers" [09:30] Whisperity: sry, i'm too ignorant to help further === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:31] netinstall.... [09:31] Dr_Heckle, I see on the Ubuntu forums various reasons why, it could be that the driver starts at the wrong time, it may not actually be the correct driver, it is difficult for me to tell I just have some basic non breaking fixes, you have then now [09:32] *them [09:32] link to forum? [09:32] hello [09:32] Dr_Heckle: s/netinstall/server/ [09:33] could anyone help me install Vim 7.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

[09:34] build from the source [09:34] Dr_Heckle: not that I have actually used that one, but it seems that it offers a netinstall method [09:34] hell yes. irc is in the off window [09:34] hmm [09:34] all i did was run the default x server config application :P [09:35] and after i closed it (i did nil in it) the taskbar and menubar relocated [09:35] Hello, is there a way to setup a vpn or something similar in ubuntu? I basically want to have access to my home computer from away. Something more than ssh though because I want to be able to navigate the desktop? === Nappz is now known as Nappz-Zzz [09:35] it would be NICE if someone knew what that was about [09:35] Dr_Heckle: and if it doesn't, set up a minimal (text-only) system & later add the desktop environment and proprietary drivers of your choice [09:35] szal, i'm incapable of such a thing :D [09:35] hello, is there a way to configure ubuntu to not switch the focus of app automatacly ?

[10:23] Why not just make a PDF instead.... [10:23] oh, sorry. wrong channel. [10:23] YankDownUnder: PDF loses quality [10:24] YankDownUnder: xchm also appears to load pages faster [10:24] Mmm [10:24] zano yes [10:24] maybe [10:24] YankDownUnder: the default pdf viewer on ubuntu also does not display with the same quality as acrobat reader [10:24] YankDownUnder: acroread is really slow on ubuntu [10:25] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-to-create-a-chm-file-from-html-files-on-linux-499086/ [10:25] YankDownUnder: already saw that [10:25] YankDownUnder: not helpful [10:25] MethedMan, Roger that. [10:26] what is safe chmod code for directory and files for apache php scripts? [10:27] coconutz: normally 755 for directories and 644 for files. [10:27] is there anyway to make a book in html into something similar to .chm in linux -> no pdf -> looking for something aesthetically pleasing [10:28] is there a way i can do ls /myfile.ext and get the chmod code like 777 666 etc? [10:29] coconutz, ls -l gives long form. man ls explains other flags. Personally i'd use ls -lhA [10:32] i dont see there the chmod code [10:32] Anyone know how to boot ubuntu into text mode only?

[10:41] figure002: isn't it latex2pdf? [10:41] celthunder: I allowed in "vino-preferences ", but I am getting the connection refused error.

I was previously using Banshee on Maverick but now in Nutty it is not working and I have a feeling it is not to do with Banshee but accoun [10:47] t permissions in Ubuntu.

[12:24] usr13, omg it werks [12:24] ikonia: But I have seen posts in different forum where they say that it is possible to browse both public and VPN sites at the same time in Ubuntu also. To do that one need to check the "Use this connection only for resource on its network" under routes. [12:24] arindom: it is possible if you sort your routing out [12:25] hobomo: I know, that was bad... [12:25] ikonia : That is the problem in my case. I can't even if that option is checked.

[12:27] arindom: cd directory/where/pdf/is/ ; ls -l file-name.pdf [12:28] arindom: you need to configure your routing to send everything out of the default gateway, execpt your vpn traffic which will go out of the vpn interface [12:28] purplefool: the compiz pluggin for 'unity' has some settings you can play with [12:28] purplefool: it depends on what uyou want to set really.

[12:55] Hi guys [12:55] in a directory with 777 permissions i cannot create a subdirectory called 'newsletter_thumb' (even as root) [12:56] I'm having problems wih gnome [12:56] as long as the mouse is up there.. its the menus. [12:56] I'm having problems with gnome [12:56] gan someone help me? [12:56] can someone help me? [12:56] abhinav_singh: no it changes the owner, not the permissions. it will work in most cases, but you can't be sure [12:56] gedO: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:56] How safe is a AES-256 password protected zip (>16 characters)? Can it be safe so say that is takes years to crack? [12:56] gedO: clairfy the exact problem [12:56] abhinav_singh: or add user to gruop owning directory (more sensible sometimes), but you right. [12:56] llutz thanks, will try [12:56] The rust on the torpedo fragments that were shown to the public are found to have been about 6 months-old [12:56] so what should be the exact command llutz qin [12:57] whendrik, try a crypto channel [12:57] abhinav_singh: What directory is it? [12:57] !alis | whendrik [12:57] whendrik: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [12:57] Dr_Willis, yeah, except the menus should always appear IMHO. It gives much more information then just showing the application title... If Im seeing the application I know which it is. I want to see the menus without having to move my mouse over the top. Or the title bar suddenly changing because I got my mouse near the top [12:57] cassio: thers settings to make them always appear. [12:57] can someone help me with my directory creation problem? [12:57] Have ubuntu 10.4 Is there a good way to backup my installation & files. (without reboot would be nice, but if needed so be) Software to use? [12:57] Dr_Willis, I run Ubuntu 11.04. Several days I installed SSCM and my gnome desktop broke, now I have to run classic mode. How to restore previous gnome? [12:58] hakito: Sure, What seems to be the problem? [12:58] thx [12:58] cassio: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [12:58] Dr_Willis, really? could you tell me how I do it? I've looked for it but couldn't find it [12:58] hakito: Be specific. [12:58] usr13: in a [12:58] Can someone help me with my VPN problem? [12:58] usr13: in a directory with 777 permissions i cannot create a subdirectory called 'newsletter_thumb' (even as root) [12:58] Dr_Willis, SSCM is advance desktop effects settings [12:58] gedO: if you mean 'ccsm' check --> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [12:58] gedO: its 'ccsm' not sscm [12:58] !ccsm [12:58] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [12:59] Unless theres somthing ive never seen/heard about :) [12:59] hakito: What command did you use? What is the path? [12:59] hi guys [12:59] its mongodb data directory /data/db qin [12:59] gedO: and some ccsm settings can break unity. [12:59] usr13: path is : in a directory with 777 permissions i cannot create a subdirectory called 'newsletter_thumb' (even as root) [12:59] this is so wrong: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201102-7326 [12:59] Have ubuntu 10.4 Is there a good way to backup my installation & files. (without reboot would be nice, but if needed so be) Software to use? [12:59] hakito: What directory is it? [12:59] usr13: [12:59] anyway i can change the batter indicator too show "low" at different levels? [12:59] Dr_Willis, Sorry. Yes, that is CCSM. So I set some effects and my desktop broke down. How I can restore it? [12:59] i just tried to install ubuntu on my new thinkpad t420s, but the screen stays black [12:59] usr13: /var/www/app/webroot/img [12:59] gedO: check the url i posted above [13:00] Dr_Willis, OKey. Thank you :) [13:00] usr13: i create it with 'mkdir newsletter_thumb' [13:01] hakito: Well, let me guess. You used command: sudo mkdir /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb ? [13:01] usrr13: i tried several methods this one too [13:01] hakito: Let me ask you this: Is this so that you can serve webpages from this area? [13:01] usr13: yes [13:02] joachim: look at it? [13:02] Dr_Willis, are you referring to http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/disable-appmenu-global-menu-in-ubuntu.html ? What I want is not to disable the global appmenu, just disable the autohide, which the link says is not possible, although several people in the comments agree with me that it should be at least possible to disable [13:02] hakito: Ok, then why are you not doing it from a home directroy and using synlinks to /var/www/ ? [13:02] hakito: It will be much easier.... [13:02] cassio: thers settings to make it not hide, or disable it.. [13:02] joachim: http://routerip is a good start to see what type it is [13:03] cassio: i had mine set to always show for some time.. but i eventuall just disabled it. [13:03] usr13: this is just a local copy of a production server. we use the same paths locally so that we don't get into trouble [13:03] iceroot: thanks, still working on it...actually right now im trying to figure out what the router's internal IP is [13:03] i just tried to install ubuntu on my new thinkpad t420s, but the screen stays black. can anyone help me with this? [13:03] Dr_Willis, could be a little more specific? How do I make it not hide? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:03] hakito: Ok ... [13:04] joachim: ip n s [13:04] usr13: and i still don't understand why i can create for example a dir called 'newsletter_thumbs' or any other name, but not 'newsletter_thumb' [13:04] hakito: ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img | pastebinit [13:04] llutz: thanks [13:04] hakito: it exists most likely [13:04] Dr_Willis: sry I lost my connection. did you reply to me? [13:05] hakito: And send resulting URL [13:05] hakito: ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img [13:05] usr13: have to apt-get-it :) [13:05] or just send it here. [13:05] abhinav_singh: man chown && man chmod (theory), chown whatever:groupname /your/directory && chmod 760 /your/directory && adduser username groupname (all with sudo, it grants read write permissions and ads user to group taken from ls -l) [13:05] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: localeconf is not installed [13:05] :'( [13:05] anyone have real success using node.js? [13:05] hakito: just do ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img and paste output here. [13:06] hakito: "ls -l /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb" [13:06] abhinav_singh: Minus if group is root (then change ownership to username group) [13:06] usr13: http://pastebin.com/f0ucPJyp [13:07] hmmm...the nmap command didnt give me any clues as to what router I am trying to access... [13:07] llutz: file not found [13:07] joachim, route -n [13:07] hakito: sudo mkdir /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb [13:07] cassio: i thought one of those urls said how to.. but i cant find it now. I played with the settings for some time. then just disabled it. So i dont even hqve the default behaivor any more. You may want to check the askubuntu.com siet [13:08] chown user:user (file/directory) [13:08] joachim: Wrong channel? [13:08] Which came first the chicken or the egg? [13:08] qin: not at all, trying to fix an ubuntu server [13:08] Ogurd, #ubuntu-offtopic did [13:08] usr13: echo $?: 0 - but no dir [13:08] joachim: vps? [13:08] qin: first I just need to be able to get to work with the router though :\ if you have a better channel for that, that would be great though [13:09] Dr_Willis, ok. I'll look some more [13:09] cassio: even with it disabled - i notice my title just goes blank. so perjhaps its not disablable at this time [13:09] qin: I need to interface with port forwarding on the router via CLI [13:09] hakito: just do ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot and paste output here. [13:09] Dr_Willis, yeah, I don't think what I want is possible in the current implementation [13:09] i was playing around ubuntu appearence setting and suddently something happen and my title bar is missing. And the terminal is just all white in colour. help? [13:10] drwxrwxr-x 9 www-data www-data 4096 2011-05-11 13:51 /var/www/app/webroot/ [13:10] hi, in 11.04 classic gnome, when i move windows close to the edge of the screen they get maximized. how can i turn this feature off? [13:10] I want to copy a file using the symlink name not the original file name, any ideas what the cp command should be [13:10] Dr_Willis, I hope it gets incorporated in the next version... I wonder if there is a bug covering this [13:10] UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gedit [13:10] DeadEnd: hint: readlink [13:10] leave [13:10] hakito: what user are you doing this from? [13:11] DeadEnd: actually, there's likely a dereference option to cp you can use, check its man page [13:11] usr13: normal ubuntu user ? who is in group www-data [13:11] cassio: see what that does.. makes it show always.. or disables it and puts it back in the protgram window. [13:11] usr13: but su cannot do it either [13:11] joachim: Do you already have ip (ifconfig)? [13:12] joachim: local [13:12] usr13: also sudo -u www-data mkdir ... does not work [13:12] hakito: grep www-data /etc/group [13:12] qin: yeah I'm connected...actually I am ssh'ing into this network [13:12] DeadEnd: yes, it's -L and it seems to happen by default [13:12] www-data:x:33:gerd\ngerd:x:1000:www-data [13:13] Dr_Willis, it just puts it back in the application window. I had seen that option before [13:13] hakito: so, what is your user name? [13:13] hakito, usr13: is it clear that the directory does not exist? If hakito is using nautilus to check for the existence of the directory for example, the directory may exist, but nautilus didn't update its view [13:13] cassio: try UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=1 gedit [13:13] usr13: gerd [13:14] cassio: whats sad is ive seen global menu applets befor that give you more settings/controls. [13:14] can Ubuntu one use by proxy?? [13:14] zghaia, try #ubuntuone [13:15] bazhang: OK [13:15] jrib, usr13. my collegue has the same problem on his local machine. he tried it in nautilus and got the error: the item could not be renamed - i tried it only from terminal [13:15] Dr_Willis, with =1 I get the same behavior with gedit... it just shows the menu bar in the application window [13:15] how to restore missing title bar? [13:16] I am trying to install a flash plugin to the local home directory in .mozilla/plugins, but Firefox does not recognize any flash plugin. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 [13:16] hakito: sudo chown www-data.root /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:16] hakito: I'll wait until usr13 is done, didn't want to interrupt; just wanted to mention what I said [13:17] hakito: ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:17] Dr_Willis, apparently a big discussion on exactly this here: https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05037.html [13:17] hakito: What does it say now? [13:17] drwxrwxrwx 30 www-data root 20480 2011-05-11 14:17 /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:17] hakito: sudo mkdir /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb [13:17] Dr_Willis, I'm glad at least other people have already noted this [13:18] but i still cannot create the folder (with and without sudo) [13:18] cassio: big argument. :) was skimming it jujst now. [13:18] hakito: sudo chown gerd.root /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:18] is anyone else having an issue with alt-shift-tab not working in gnome-shell? [13:19] hakito: mkdir /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb [13:19] cassio: ya got the global menu movement.. then you got apps like chrome browser tjhat dont even use a normal menu any more. such fun! [13:19] folx, my X won't load, i'm now using a live cd, is there an easy way to repair X? i did not find /etc/xorg.conf [13:19] hakito: ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:19] hakito: ls /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb [13:19] drwxrwxrwx 30 gerd root 20480 2011-05-11 14:19 /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:19] still no effect [13:20] how many ip addresses are there left in this mask 90.90.*.* ? [13:20] it may be interesting to mention that we have some people working in VMs on 10.04 and there it works. I and my collegue where it doesn't work have 10.10 [13:21] Dr_Willis, yup. I'm using chrome and when I hover the mouse over the app menu just goes blank... [13:21] Hello, Does it possible to add ubuntu 11.04 the old bottom bar (like on 10.10) ? [13:21] hakito: what error do you get when you try to create the directory? [13:21] cassio: it goes blank for everything here. :) since i have the menu back in the app windows.. [13:21] joachim: nmap -v -sP 192.168.1.0-254 192.168.1.1-254 -p 80 (also nast can be usefull as iftop) [13:21] my windows have turned blocky and grey, how can i reset the look to the ubuntu default? [13:21] cassio: wich is the worse case i guess. from a looks point of view [13:22] hakito: pastebin some lines from the terminal from which you've been executing these commands. [13:22] if i do it in terminal i get no error. and also the return value says no error. if i do it from nautilus i get the 'the dir could not be renamed' [13:22] jrib: YOur turn..... :) [13:23] usr13: ok :) [13:23] usr13: my collegue just told me that apache is deleting the directory as soon as it's created. but why?? [13:23] hakito: pastebin: ls -l /var/www/app/webroot/img/ [13:23] Hi there. Am building my own deb file. I want to build for many different ubuntu versions and let launchpad do it. Can someone please point me to the right wiki/guide on how todo this? [13:23] hmm. i just installed xubuntu-desktop under natty because i was getting sick of unity. was working fine, then i decided to add an xfce toolbar. not sure what happened, but now all my application menu items have disappeared, almost as if there is a hidden unity toolbar snatching them away [13:24] usr13, jrib: when apache is stopped the dir can be created. with apache running it can't [13:24] hakito: ls -ld /var/www/app/webroot/img | pastebinit [13:24] I have succesfully already built my deb package in pbuilder for Maverick. I now want to build for 11.04, 10.04 and 09.10. How should I create my package so that launchpad understand what distro OS it should build for? [13:24] my metacity crashed. My title bar went missing. Than I key in 'metacity --replace' and the title bar reappear. But after closing terminal title bar went missing again!!? [13:25] hakito: I've never heard of apache deleting directories. ??? [13:25] hi, is there a way to disable this auto maximize feature of windows when moving them to the top panel in ubuntu 11.04 [13:25] logicalor: try 'UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=1 gedit' see if you get a menu [13:25] http://pastebin.com/AaFdFtem [13:25] usr13: but it does [13:25] elias_: you mean draging them to the top of the screen? [13:25] Dr_Willis, yeah. I think this should be a no brainer. It must be really simple to add a checkbox that disables this autohide behavior. I hope they do it [13:25] elias_: and also half-maxing when drug to the side. [13:25] Dr_Willis: yes [13:25] nice Dr_Willis, that worked [13:26] elias_: its a compiz plugin. the 'grid' plugin i think [13:26] joachim: and you want to access routes? [13:26] Dr_Willis: thanks [13:26] *router [13:26] logicalor: so its is the global menmu causing the issue. You can disable the global menu. [13:26] ahh, how do i do that? [13:27] usr13: watch this: http://pastebin.com/bzAdCrzh [13:28] hakito: sudo chown gerd.gerd /var/www/app/webroot/img ; mkdir /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb ; ls -l /var/www/app/webroot/img/newsletter_thumb | pastebinit #And send resulting URL [13:28] nm, i think i have found a way [13:28] usr13: read my link first === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [13:29] Greetings. [13:29] hakito: you must have admin privileges to kill a server. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [13:29] hakito: You can't do it as user. [13:29] hakito: But killing the web server will not help. [13:30] usr13: i know - i did it in the next command [13:30] usr13: it did [13:30] Dr_Willis: great, now i disabled this nasty feature [13:30] usr13: check the whole output [13:30] hakito: Oh I see. Well, I dono That is weird. [13:30] apt-get remove pkg ; apt-get clean; apt-get autoremove isn't removing everything about package like apache2. The /etc/apache2 directory and /etc/init.d/apache2 are still there. Can you recommend a way of removing everything? [13:31] hakito: But let me tell you this. It is a whole lot easier to place your webpages in a home directory. It would be easy to change it and you won't have all this trouble. [13:32] pr3d4t0r, first you need to stop apache, before removing. [13:32] usr13: but if apache is deleting it - also the home directory softlink may not work [13:32] OerHeks: It's stopped. [13:32] OerHeks: I think I also need to purge. [13:32] hakito: i.e. sudo mv /var/www/app /home/gerd ; ln -s app/ /var/www/ [13:32] OerHeks: Checking on that. [13:33] pr3d4t0r, use -purge indeed [13:33] when i login Ubuntu one,I show me an error that 'NoneType' object has attribute 'makefile' [13:34] usr13: i think we found the problem [13:34] hakito: You don't know that, but in the first place, I really don't think apache is deleting it. Again, I have never heard of apache deleting files. Has anyone here heard of apache deleting files? [13:34] hakito: What? [13:34] OerHeks: Yeah, that was it - thanks.

At boot time i Get a dialog box saying"Not optimum mode, recommend mode 1280*1024"? I have a samsung monitor. i could not find a solution after googling. Can anyone help on this issue? [13:44] wolfpack: could u boot it and reach desktop [13:44] i'm trying to get compiz to work with my i3 & intel gma hd. it kept saying that i'm using the vesa driver and that i need to install the proper driver, what can i do? i through it was already installed. [13:45] mathews: yes [13:45] lynx__: try run additional drivers [13:45] Question: When I mount using CIFS external hard disks connected using Ethernet to my PC running Ubuntu 11.04 I get quite low file transfer speeds. Under Windows I get about 13MB/s and under Ubuntu about 4MB/s. Any suggestions to fix this problem? [13:46] wolfpack: ok. then u select the Monitor from application list and try to change the resolution to the said [13:46] with respect to grub, how do I find out whether it should be hd0,7 etc? [13:46] mathews: I did that but still not working [13:47] paspro: you use ethernet or wireless ? [13:47] has anyone else experienced this problem? or found a fix? http://askubuntu.com/questions/41810/periodic-keyboard-lag-delay [13:47] benitoa: ethernet only [13:47] Interesting dilemma: I have a laptop with a dvd reader (not writer?!?) so I can't burn the 11.04 iso. I used unetbootin to install the iso to grub so it can boot, but once booted it cannot install to the same hard drive because it hangs on attempting to modify the partition table, even though it doesn't need to do anything with the existing partitions. Anyone know a workaround? [13:47] paspro: sudo iwconfig eth0 [13:47] wolfpack: So, where you stop at login? [13:47] is eth0 powermgt active? [13:48] qin At boot time [13:48] benitoa: yes it is [13:48] qin: At boot time . [13:48] wolfpack: Alt-Ctrl-F1 ? [13:48] i'm trying to get compiz to work with my i3 & intel gma hd. it kept saying that i'm using the vesa driver and that i need to install the proper driver, what can i do? i through it was already installed. [13:49] paspro: i had huge speed problems with my networkcard because powermgt was active. try to put it of to see if this change a thing or not. [13:49] wolfpack: do u saying only the message coming and no change in ur resolution of screen? [13:49] mbeierl: you could set up the partions beforhand. and just set the mountpoints using the manual/advanced installer options., i think it will just want to reformat the / partition. . Persionally i install from bootable flash drives these days. [13:49] Hello guys does anyone know how much space ubuntu will take to get it on my USB? [13:49] benitoa: ok, I will try this. Thanks for the tip. [13:49] Master69: only less than 1GB [13:49] Master69: a live cd setup will be about 1 gb. + any persistant save file you create. [13:50] Dr_Willis: no flash media at hand. the partitions are set up, but the installer even under manual mode still insists on playing with the partition table and haging [13:50] mathews: a full 'normal' install will be a gb or 2 also.. but can fill up quickly on smaller usb drives. [13:50] Okay guys thank you [13:50] Master69: : a full 'normal' install will be a gb or 2 also.. but can fill up quickly on smaller usb drives. === Master69 is now known as Master69afk [13:50] paspro: command is: sudo iwconfig eth0 power off [13:51] Master69: but select a USB with atleast 2GB if u need to keep personal files on it [13:51] mbeierl: You might want to try setting up Grub2 to boot the ISO file. [13:51] how do I find out what the "grub style" name is for a disk? [13:51] Dr_Willis: from some reason the usual methods for booting iso under grub2 are failing with Natty. I'll see if there are any updates [13:51] Dr_Willis: with the Natty ISO, that is [13:51] hello [13:52] mbeierl: i havent really tried it with natty iso. [13:52] how can i change the FQDM of the server? [13:52] dall: everybody here to help,put ur problem here [13:52] hello metthews [13:52] !fqdn [13:52] ok thank you [13:52] !hostname [13:52] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [13:52] Dr_Willis: k, thanks. Just thought I'd ask around to see if there were any known gotchas. Back to trying again as a background task... [13:53] thank you Dr_Willis ! [13:53] I dident think the hostname was quiet th same as the FQDN.... [13:53] but i dont do a lot of that stuff. :) [13:54] i have to change the FQDN [13:54] No only the hostname [13:55] Not sure how the 2 differ really. :) Im not a network gnu/guru [13:55] Dr_Willis: out of curiosity...any simple way to put the names without typing again and again [13:55] mathews: the names? what names? [13:55] !tab [13:55] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:56] users here [13:56] most irc clients support TAB nick completion [13:56] if yours dosent.. get a better client. :) [13:56] (irssi) [13:56] Dr_Willis: that means pressing TAB do the job [13:57] --> dr_ [13:57] yes... [13:57] mahtewsSorry about the delay, I get that message at login time although my system's monitor settings already has that setting [13:57] same as bash command completiomn works [13:57] mathews: Sorry about the delay, I get that message at login time although my system's monitor settings already has that setting [13:58] mathews: correcttion " At boot time" ^^ [13:58] Dr_Willis: thank u...........I am using the Xchat IRC but no option like that.........any suggestion [13:59] XChat does have TAB completion [13:59] mathews: xchat has it.. perhaps try the full xchat . not xchat-gnome [13:59] Yes in fact it does xD [13:59] He's using the full xchat [13:59] What version? [13:59] 2.8.8, the latest [13:59] Interesting. [13:59] Any plugins enabled? [14:00] wolfpack: ok. no need of sorry here.Seek from some others here or try in www.askubuntu.com [14:00] he doesn't know what TAB is .... [14:00] Hmmm [14:00] Finished upgrading [14:00] mathews, TAB is a key on your keyboard :) [14:00] Reboot time [14:00] says 'Tab' right here on mine.... [14:00] Dr_Willis: k well am going to catch that fish [14:01] 'linux - helping you learn to use keys you never knew existed' [14:01] HOW CAN i RUN FSCK ON THE NEXT REBOOT [14:01] !fsck [14:01] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:01] lmfao [14:01] sorry foir shouting [14:01] that factoid may be out of date. [14:01] Guest5537: put ur TAB in garbage [14:01] TABulation key :) [14:01] will that do it just !fsck and upon reboot it will do it [14:02] rileyp: no... you READ what the bot said.. when i entered !fsck [14:02] lmfao [14:02] xEncrypted: We don't need the commentary here. [14:02] Don't hurt my feelings. [14:03] and that factoid Might be wrong.. i seem to recall someone else metioning some changes in the latest release about auto-fscking [14:03] * Guest5537 trying to press tab on iphone... [14:03] but it might work [14:03] thanks my bad [14:03] Guest5537: for my irc clients on andriod i use the little search button >:) [14:03] Guest5537: annoying enough however. TAB does not work on them. even if im using a bluetooth keyboard with my android :( [14:04] l [14:04] hi [14:04] Hello.

[15:32] which is fbetter lubuntu or xubuntu? [15:32] mathews: haha :) [15:32] !best | roarke [15:32] roarke: 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. [15:32] roarke: depends on your needs. Lubuntu is more 'windows 95' like. in look . and uses the least resources. [15:33] is there a way to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04? [15:33] Hi every1! I was chatting to tofoursixtwo about this b4, but i´m sure anyone can help. I have a problem where my keyboard cuts out  all the time, I´m using Ubuntu powerpc 10,4 and its a generic apple macintosh USB keyboard. You can find a copy of my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/tAMPQ0fS (the xorg.conf worked originally and i did try re-genrating the file and that did not work). http://pastebin.com/Lrgi3Nge is a link to my xorg. [15:33] magepsycho: for? [15:33] I mean wich is more effiecint lubuntu or xubuntu [15:33] roarke: lubuntu uses less resources... [15:33] ubuntu [15:33] *efficient [15:33] magepsycho: why? [15:33] Dr_Willis: thanks then. I've been through all those menus, and couldn't find an option like that. Thanks though [15:33] magepsycho: no, there isn't (outside of reinstalling, of course). [15:33] my graphics is not so fine [15:33] i see some blurry fonts [15:34] and the graphics is not so clear [15:34] magepsycho: have you tried ubuntu classic or unity-2d? or even configuring fonts [15:34] clean your glasses. :) [15:34] bye all.. [15:34] bye [15:34] should i take a screenshot and let you know [15:34] bye [15:34] in order to know how it look sin yours [15:35] magepsycho: try run the additional driver from applications [15:35] does banshee work on a kde? [15:35] magepsycho: and see any driver need to install further [15:35] roarke: all gnome applications that i know of run on kde [15:35] roarke: they might look different though [15:36] hi [15:36] oh yes.. i didn't used internet during installation [15:36] may be that is one of the reason === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [15:36] so wich is better f you like good gui lubuntu or xubuntu? [15:36] magepsycho: did you update afterwards? [15:36] mathews.. which driver i need to install [15:36] nope [15:36] i havent [15:36] how to update and what to update [15:36] roarke: look at the screenshots and decide which one you like more [15:36] i am newbie [15:36] magepsycho: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:36] magepsycho: go to update manager [15:37] magepsycho: u run that application "additional Driver" [15:37] magepsycho: drivers might help as well but first updates if necessary [15:37] how do I create /dev/net/tun? [15:38] Kartagis: sudo mkdir /dev/net/tun === szuhanchang_ is now known as szuhanchang [15:38] Kartagis: wait [15:38] is better to use the latest nvidia drivers or the recommended? [15:38] Kartagis: a file or a directory? [15:38] yes mathews i didnt see any option there in additional dirvers [15:38] Nyrobie: recomended [15:38] I have 2 monitors [15:38] ruan: ethernet bridge I believe. I think it's needed for openvpn [15:39] Kartagis: wouldnt openvpn do that for you? [15:39] but I cant seem to get another app onto the 2nd monitor even though I can move my mouse pointer to it [15:39] magepsycho: no reports as installed or activated? [15:40] how can I fix it so that I can use my 2nd monitor? [15:40] magepsycho: u just try run the update manager also and let us think about 10.10 [15:41] magepsycho: research in ubuntu launchpad and in www.askubuntu.com too [15:41] ruan: http://pastebin.com/FBhyZVaM [15:41] also does xinerama have to be enabled if I want my 2nd monitor to work properly? [15:42] ok guys .. i am updating first [15:42] but i would like to share the screenshot with you [15:42] just wait [15:42] is it possible to play Battlestar Galactica Online? (its a Browser based game) im missing a Plug in Apparently, anyone have any clues, Running Ubuntu 11.04 [15:42] Edit: Hi every1!  I was chatting to tofoursixtwo about this a few days ago, but i´m sure anyone can help. I have a problem where my keyboard cuts out  all the time :'( I´m using Ubuntu powerpc 10,4 and its a generic apple macintosh USB keyboard. xorg.conf = http://pastebin.com/tAMPQ0fS / xorg.0.log = http://pastebin.com/Lrgi3Nge / lsusb -v = http://pastebin.com/v0ECsDdv. My thinking is that the xorg.conf is at fault? The origin [15:42] how can i open tty2 in gnome-terminal?? [15:43] Poisonfibre: what plugin does it use? flash? java?

[15:45] what gain do spammers have in doing this? [15:45] ok thanks [15:45] and didn't found any place to paste or save [15:45] has anyone had ununtu kill their monitors? [15:46] is this true, what this freak said? [15:46] seemawn: no [15:46] Kartagis: lulz [15:46] Dr_Willis, thanks, but where should i config [15:46] IGNORE THE SPAM [15:46] ok [15:46] I have 3 displays hooked up, working fine, rebooted, and then the monitors stopped working (no bios screen even) [15:46] I DONT LIKE SPAM!!!! [15:46] spam, spam, spam.... [15:46] then ignore it [15:46] Im assuming I didnt save the xorg.conf through nvidia [15:46] but still, to not get any monitor response at all? [15:46] ruan: this was a cite out of Monty Python's Spam [15:47] spyvsspy: not CRTs, i hope? [15:47] no [15:47] all LCDs [15:47] spyvsspy: have you tried regenerating xorg.conf? [15:47] even the bios isnt coming up [15:47] i cant, I can not get any response from the cpu at all [15:47] wont even boot into the bios (at least the monitors will not display the bios) [15:48] its like they are in permanent sleep mode [15:48] spyvsspy: did it show a bios screen in the past? [15:48] ubuntu 64 bit....my flsh player keep scrashing...any 1 have an idea y? [15:48] ruan yes [15:48] only after I rebooted after editing xorg.conf did this start [15:48] spyvsspy: what happens if you disconnect and then reconnect the monitor cable? [15:48] spyvsspy: does a "signal lost" error appear? [15:48] ya, Ive done that, I have 2 video cards pulled them both, reconnected did all kinds of stuff like that [15:49] spyvsspy: i dont see how xorg would prevent a monitor from showing bios [15:49] :D [15:49] xorg is only after boot [15:49] at one point I did get to the bios when I pulled one video card, and only had one monitor plugged in, but couldnt get into the bios [15:49] in time, and ubuntu booted [15:49] then it all went black [15:49] spyvsspy: most issues regarding inability to reach post are caused by bad ram in my experience [15:49] ya, its not bad ram [15:50] I tested in another machine; Im completely baffled [15:50] how do i open tty2 in gnome-terminal? [15:50] this is the second time this has happened w/ ubuntu, the first time, I fixed it somehow, but cant remember [15:50] lol [15:50] do you get any post error beeps? [15:50] no, it all the sounds (hd/fan etc) are normal [15:51] and RAM tested in another machine as fine [15:51] spyvsspy: can you boot into recovery mode? [15:51] ubuntu is putting the monitors into permanent sleep mode somehow, or there is a bug w/ this particular mobo [15:51] I think it's absurd to suppose an incorrectly configured X Window System can prevent you from accessing your bios .. [15:51] no, I cant boot anything [15:51] spyvsspy: have you completely powered off the monitors as well? [15:52] rziz, its not absurd, this has happened before [15:52] does ubuntu and xubuntu come with the same pre-packed drivers? [15:52] powered off and plugged out for a few minutes? [15:52] I want to read my cd's - it looks like the automount works but hides the cd immediately - where is this configured? [15:52] spyvsspy: are you using any kind of propetiary drivers? [15:52] ruan, honestly, that is about the only thing I havent tried [15:52] nvidia yes [15:52] spyvsspy: do that. the monitor is likely stuck in a bad state. [15:53] ya, I will when i get home [15:53] does ubuntu and xubuntu come with the same pre-packed drivers? [15:53] just so riduclous the amount of bs that this is causing [15:53] I just went to additional drivers and it says that my nvidia driver is active but not in use, should it be that way ? [15:53] spyvsspy: if it's been put into a 'permanent sleep', as you say, powering it off will reset its state [15:53] xorg shouldnt have crapped out in the first place, everything was configured correctly, and I saved the file [15:54] also, xorg shouldnt really be the culprit if you cant boot into recovery [15:54] reboot, all hell breaks loose [15:54] recovery makes no attempt to start x server afaik [15:54] well, its the xorg that put the monitors into the bad state [15:54] I cant see what Im doing though to get into recovery [15:55] and cant boot off any media [15:55] probably the monitor.. you'll have to test plugging it out for a while [15:55] ya, ill bet that is it, Ill have to power everything down for awhile, and hope it boots [15:55] sum1 tell me how to fix flash player in 64bit [15:56] kingofswords: does it work on a different browser? [15:56] no [15:56] it works..but crashes alot [15:56] spyvsspy, KWM switches kan break things (no E-DDC info from the the monitor to the graphics card) [15:56] *s/kan/can [15:56] guys which app do you use for video call? [15:56] KWM? [15:56] i dont hvae a kvm [15:57] o woops [15:57] nm [15:57] kwm [15:57] pcpower, Keybord-Video-Monitor [15:57] *keyboard [15:57] hi [15:57] pcpower, and it should be KVM [15:58] !openvpn [15:58] OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [15:58] I backed up my OS, i want to now restore it. (I backuped the system partition, not the swap.) WHen i restore it, can i just make a swap partition after it's booted? Providing i have left space on the devie [15:58] device [15:58] !kvm [15:58] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [15:59] Daghdha: yes [15:59] Daghdha: from another device such as a livecd though [15:59] you probably have to adapt your fstab depending on the way mount points are configured [15:59] ok, i will put in a blank disk and see if i can make it a working boot OS :) [16:00] ruan any idea? [16:01] kingofswords: flashplugin-nonfree perhaps? [16:01] ruan: What if i just image the swap partion too? [16:01] is that in synaptic? [16:01] Daghdha: you can just partition and create a swap [16:01] ruan wont that just start causing conflicts? [16:01] kingofswords: remove the old one [16:02] Daghdha: imaging swap is pointless [16:02] how? [16:02] what aaaaaaa [16:02] ok [16:02] ackgent [16:02] is there good mspaint like in ubuntu? [16:02] magepsycho: xpaint or mtpaint [16:02] magepsycho: gnu paint? [16:02] is swap a logical partition? Because i see 3 partitions on that disk. ext4 (OS), 2.5Gb Extended and 2.5Gb Swap.

[16:26] deployment: so fix them :) [16:26] deployment: remove them and then reinstalll [16:26] halin: hoho, what ones.. [16:27] deployment: what is the error? [16:27] deployment: what and how are you installing [16:27] deployment: What system/version are you on? [16:27] could not apply changes, fix broken packages first [16:27] having an identical timezone across all users would be nice... oh how i can dream [16:28] ubuntu 10.4, Shareing a folder first time so i guess it's samba. [16:28] deployment: try another tool to update, eg. sudo apt-get upgrade [16:28] I downloaded the 32 bit version of ubuntu 11.04 iso. But when I run wubi installer, it started downloading, ubuntu-amd64.iso.torrent. and shows the time remaining as 4 hrs. So is it not possible to install 32 bit Ubuntu within a 64 bit OS ? === __import__ is now known as __export__ [16:28] deployment: might be more verbose [16:28] clear [16:28] halin: disconnect from the internet [16:28] halin: and it will be done. it downloads 64bit cause you have a 64bit cpu [16:29] halin: you can install a 32 bit os on a 64 [16:29] Whisperity: so it will install the 32 bit then ? [16:29] if i make a change to the grub.cfg file what do i need to type for changes to take effect (im in 10.04) [16:29] deplyment: That could render the cache or update unstable, confuse it, are you using Synaptic to do upgrades? [16:29] halin: if it cant download the 64bit version, it'll stick with what you have [16:29] Ladynikon: Whisperity So I should stop the internet then ? [16:29] ruan: verbose? [16:29] ok === __export__ is now known as __import === __import is now known as __import__ [16:29] deployment: more verbose = more detailed [16:30] if i make a change to the grub.cfg file what do i need to type for changes to take effect (im in 10.04) [16:30] identical date output across all users? how? one user is using utc rather than bst [16:30] en1gma: sudo grub-update [16:30] thanks [16:30] !grub2 | en1gma [16:30] en1gma: 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) [16:30] * halin ruan just to make sure, its already half done. So if I stop now it will resume the 32 bit installation ? [16:30] en1gma: i mean [16:30] halin: hmm.. thats an interesting one [16:30] en1gma: update-grub [16:30] oh ok [16:30] thanks again [16:30] halin: yes, if you cut the wires off, it won't have opportunity to downoad the 64bit version [16:30] but I don't think it will work [16:31] there's a reason why OSes have both 32 and 64 bit builds [16:31] Whisperity: alot of people have been using the 32 bit version for better support === erebion_ is now known as Gangrel [16:31] Hi, i am about to define swap space for the machine. I had 2.5Gb, but i uppe dthe memory to 8Gb. Should i make the swap 16Gb now? [16:31] i said to heck with it and went ahead and just installed 64 [16:32] Whisperity: i'm using 32bit version of (K)ubuntu on a 64bit processor [16:32] Daghdha, hell no! [16:32] ruan: it says could not mark all packages for install. [16:32] anyone got problem with flash player on mozilla 4 in ubuntu 11.04 [16:32] Daghdha: Do you hibernate your computer? [16:32] deployment: Have you used the CLI dpkg-fix broken? [16:32] Gangrel: what is the problem? [16:32] Pici: Never [16:32] Daghdha: Then don't worry about it. [16:32] Whisperity: Ladynikon I heard that 32 bit is better than 64 bit of ubuntu [16:32] gnewb:nope [16:32] Pici: You mean no swap at all? [16:32] Daghdha: i use no swap on a 3gb ram machine and have had no issues [16:33] Isn't that bad practice? [16:33] Ladynikon there are blinking white gaps while video is playing [16:33] halin: 64 works great for me [16:33] Daghdha: Er. I mean you don't need to expand it. I usually make as much swap as ram otherwise. [16:33] halin: but like i said.. there may be less support for some things.. I have 4 gigs of ram and wanted it all to be used. [16:33] it says it's not to be installed [16:33] Daghdha: Hard drive space is cheap :) [16:34] deployment: You may want to look into that, it is CLI, so do not take my errors or suggestions for it, there are a few class on it, let me look it up for you. [16:34] if i make swap, will the computer use RAM before swap? [16:34] yes pici. but so am i :) [16:34] because i dont want the computer to slack off, using swap and going slower than it would with pure RAM which is unused [16:34] is there a reason why one of my users reports date to be in utc rather than all others as bst? [16:34] OK judging by your feedback i think consolodating swap space at current size (2.5Gb) is more than plenty for my 8Gb RAM machine. Thank you :) [16:34] ads_: How are you checking? [16:34] Hey, can anyone think of why a 64bit USB run of 11.04 will kernel panick on this machine, 32bit runs fine http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=T3304 [16:35] Hi, I want to install ubuntu with an USB stick.. If i use universal-USB-Installer i cant choose my ISO.. when i check the file browser (windows7) there is an ubuntu iso file on my desktop, but when i want to choose this ISO with the Universal-USB_installer tool, the ISO doesnt show up - what can i do? [16:35] normal kernel behavior it will use RAM first then swap when it starts running low [16:35] Pici, i run date with each user all report bst bar one user.. i'd like it to be identical to all users [16:35] PW-toXic, use this [16:35] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [16:36] Klevi, often that is memory related [16:36] deployment: Here is a fairly good write up/forum thread on that: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/59318-package-problem-broken-dependency-more.html [16:36] Klevi, at least in my exp [16:36] gnewb: Ta i'll read it now. [16:36] ads_: Does that user have $TZ set to something different than the other users? [16:36] Pici, no [16:37] Micheal`, AWESOME! Ill try throwing my 256 sticks back in and see if that behavior continues [16:37] deployment: NP, I am also looking for the Manual on that,,,, [16:37] Micheal`, has been driving me nuts all night [16:37] klaas, you can also run a memtest [16:37] I can [16:37] Klevi, even [16:37] Anyone know why I (seemingly) at random cannot click on things (ie. buttons in programs, hyperlinks in firefox, etc.)? The mouse is fine, it works great in Windows -- it worked great in Ubuntu up until a few days ago. [16:37] Hadnt thought ram would cause kernel panicks. Thanks Micheal` [16:37] I can click on most things but some things I cannot. [16:37] Pici: i configured time with "dpkg-reonfigure tzdata" as root expecting each user to have identical outputs from date.. but no.. [16:37] Klevi, sure thing [16:37] ruan , thanks - I will eventually figure it out [16:38] deployment: Here is the Debian Manual on fix-broken, and such:>http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch02.en.html [16:38] Klevi, seems to work.. and after i have instald it on a usb drive i can then install it to the hard drive? [16:39] ads_: Right, but each user's environment variables can still differ.e [16:40] oh dear [16:40] Klevi, future note RAM issues can cause all kinds of wierd things so if it is odd and makes no sense start there and work up [16:40] Pici, yes but why? there is no TZ variable set for each user [16:40] I thought i could writeback a partimage image to a smaller partition than it was made from [16:40] is there a way to get the nvidia binary drivers to work with 11.04? once installed I can no longer boot [16:41] Pici: What if each was assined a /home for the tzdata call? [16:41] gnewb: I'm not sure what that means. [16:41] gnewb: I get this [16:41] samba: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.3 is to be installed Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.3 is to be installed [16:42] E: Broken packages [16:42] deployment: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:42] floodbots are more strict? [16:42] Pici: We tested something like that on another system, assisgned each user thier own /home folder, it was complex and rather messy, but it worked. [16:42] Daghdha: No, you may want to use fsarchiver instead http://www.fsarchiver.org/Fsarchiver_vs_partimage [16:43] gnewb: I don't see what that has to do with user's environment variables. [16:43] i dont understand why i have no user defined tz data yet one user is different?!!!! [16:43] Micheal`, that was it, now i get to yell at the guy who gave me the RAM from work today =P [16:43] ubuntu 10 takes forever to install my computer specs 3.0 ghz 2gb ram please someone help [16:43] Micheal`, thanks for the tip ;-) [16:44] is there a blackjack game for ubuntu? i cant seem to find even 1 other than the gnome one (which is no longer available) [16:44] deployment: sudo apt-get install samba-common libwbclient0 && sudo apt-get install samba [16:44] deployment: try that [16:44] arand: Can it use partimage images? [16:44] Daghdha: I do not think so. [16:44] i have upgraded but still no changes in my graphics [16:44] Pici: It was a Time Synchtronization /call so that student A in GMT-5 and student B in GMT+6 could share same but different tiemestamps,,, === op4_ is now known as opfour [16:45] :( Now i will have to restore the partimage first.. wigh. Then later image using fsarchiver.. and then.. ARRGH :( [16:45] I guess is no alternative [16:45] Hello, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and I am facing some problem that was also on the previous version (10.10), on the last version When I turn on the computer ubuntu starts loading and than getting to terminal login screen (asking for username) and than just after 3-4m the GUI login popup. in the new version I getting blank purple screen and same after 3-4m the gui popup any idea? [16:45] gnewb: the problem with mine is i have no user defined tz yet i am seeing UTC rather than BST [16:45] gnewb, only for one user [16:46] Dagdha: PartImage and Rescue CD can be downloaded from Distrowatch and many other places, if that helps. [16:47] ads_: Oh ok, my apologies, Pici was spot on about that. [16:47] Daghdha: Probably no, if you have space for it, you could always use a loopmount to do it without mucking about in partitions === jeejay is now known as _jeejay_ [16:47] ruan: same issue [16:47] arand: It is indeed no, the two do completely different things [16:47] deployment: hmm try in synaptic [16:47] I am adding an initscript to /etc/init.d, is it proper Ubuntu practice to use insserv or update-rc.d? [16:48] No arand, i will just restore the partimage one and use fsarchive like you described i think. Thanks.. cu all in several hours :P [16:48] .. [16:49] ruan: seems to be updates to come down.. I'll do them first. [16:49] hi, i'm using pam_mount to mount windows network share but i have to enter password twice when login, what can i do to enter password once ? this is common-auth content -> http://pastebin.com/EHyfTVRT [16:50] heya [16:50] gh [16:50] how do i get this? http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/012/4/9/atolm_by_skiesofazel-d35xysb.png [16:50] one more time-has anyone used a dual-boot 32 bit/64 bit system??? was it difficult & did it cause any problems??? [16:51] what is the name of the special mode Dash (Alt+F2) [16:51] nm5tf: ? [16:51] nm5tf: why would it cause problems [16:52] hi ! [16:52] nm5tf: and why would you do it? use 64 bit with a chroot if you need 32 bit apps [16:52] Inside_duck: hi [16:52] * ads_ sigh [16:53] can someone help me to install nvidia driver? i'm new to the linux environment, it's a bit disapointed [16:53] Inside_duck: what do you need the nvidia driver for? [16:53] guys.. [16:53] Is there a problem with the 64bit build of Ubuntu 11.04? It my computer freezes during installation.... [16:54] where to find the the run box? [16:54] don't know if it would, that's why i am asking-trying to get a game working that the DEVS say works just fine under 64 bit system-it does not work on my 32 bit system [16:54] magepsycho: alt f2 [16:54] just to have a good resolution on my 24P, and i want test cuda on it [16:54] Zoohouse: what's it freeze on? any output on terminal 7//8? [16:55] Inside_duck: System > Administration > additional drivers [16:55] nm5tf: it wouldn't cause problems to dual boot but like i said...just use a chroot for the 32 bit apps and 64 for everything else [16:55] usually additional drivers prompts you when they exist though [16:55] Inside_duck: Assuming you are on Ubuntu Classic [16:55] i do not have this in the panel, it's the last backtrack 5 build [16:55] ruan .. where to fiind from the menu [16:55] i didn't see it listed [16:55] celthunder: It freezes during installation is copying files. Last thing it said is "May 11 15:42:51 ubuntu ubiquity[2879]: Step_before = stepUserInfo" [16:56] magepsycho: not sure, alt f2 is the only way i know of [16:56] I am adding an initscript to /etc/init.d, is it proper Ubuntu practice to use insserv or update-rc.d? [16:56] update-rc.d [16:56] Also when the PC freezes, the light in my mouse turns off... [16:56] magepsycho: terminal can do just about anything alt f2 can though [16:56] celthunder: or vice versa i guess-i have a 32 bit sys that i want to try the game under 64 bit to see if that works [16:57] everytime i boot up 10.04 i keep on having to goto a term and type 'ifconfig ra0 up' can i add that to a file so it automatically does it evertime i boot up [16:57] Ok, i have to go, i'll be back in an hour, thanks those who reply to me :) See ya [16:57] i been googling start up scripts etc... but no luck on finding the exact file to add that line too [16:57] compdoc: should I ignore the warning about missing LSB information? [16:57] hi, does anyone know how i can change the numbers of my dual monitors? [16:58] en1gma, you could try adding it to /etc/rc.local [16:58] hi, does anyone know how i can change the numbers of my dual monitors ATI*? [16:58] hi, i'm using Kubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (#kubuntu is unresponsive, hope i can get a hint here). i went from using a 24" monitor to a 37" TV into the RGB DIN input. after rebooting, I only get 1280x1024 and no higher modes (such as 1920x1080 I was using before) are available. the nvidia driver did get loaded. what can I do? [16:58] ahh i was thinking it was rc.d for some reasoj [16:58] ok thanks [16:58] en1gma: /etc/network/interfaces add auto ra0 [16:58] multipass|2: uhm ? renumber them or reposition them? [16:58] Is there a way to check the CD for errors before it installs? [16:58] celthunder: maybe that isn't very clear-i have an AMD K8 64 bit cpu, but only installed Lucid 10.04 as 32 bit sys [16:58] Zoohouse: should be [16:59] hmuller, if you get the file right, you shouldnt have any errors. I would remove it and study other init.d files [16:59] en1gma: /etc/network/interfaces is easier [16:59] nm5tf: ok yeah dual boot then...or virtualize the 64 bit install [16:59] nm5tf: I also have the AMD k8 64 bit cpu. Having trouble installing... [16:59] Does anyone else have problems running Skype + unity + more than one monitor ? [16:59] compdoc: I did study and cannot find missing information in the file [17:00] ohh might be a good idea [17:00] thanks will try that too [17:00] hmuller, the commented stuff at the beginning is important (lines beginning with #) [17:01] compdoc: See if you can find the missing information - http://paste.ubuntu.com/606193/ [17:01] Zoohouse: do you have the dual-core sys?? I have been running Ubuntu since 2008 (8.10???) with no problems-what R U trying to install??? [17:01] en1gma: sudo echo auto ra0 >>/etc/network/interfaces [17:02] nm5tf: no I don't have a dual-core sys. Give me a min and I'll tell you what I have. [17:03] ruan: that won't work [17:03] tsimpson: why? [17:03] ruan: because only echo would be run as root, the writing to /etc/network/interfaces would be done as the regular user [17:04] hmm. sudo -i could work then [17:04] ruan: "echo auto ra0 | sudo tee -a /etc/network/interfaces" would be the better way [17:04] Zoohouse: did youverify your disk wrote properly [17:05] !offtopic [17:05] #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! [17:05] celthunder: I'm about to run a md5sum check on the DVD using my MacBook. I'll report back on how it goes [17:05] ok [17:05] Hello, I have installed apache on my ubuntu 10.10 but I don't know where the www folder is. How can I found out? [17:06] latamaska: /var/www by default [17:06] latamaska: i think it's in /var/www [17:06] tsimpson, Wow!! It works...thank you so much! [17:07] hmuller, it looks ok, although it has more stuff in that section than mine do. also, the first line is slightly different [17:08] hmuller, mine is: #!/bin/sh -e [17:09] hmuller, the second line has 4 # instead of 3 [17:09] ### [17:10] Right so I got a headset, but with 11.04 only the earphones work, not the microphone, After Google'ing well I came across stuff about how poeple had microphones that worked in 10.10, but then stopped working after upgrading to 11.04, which isn't what happended for me, but uhmm the point is it seems quite a few microphoens will have issues. [17:10] compdoc: Thanks that was driving me buggy, it was an extra # === massimo is now known as Guest10214 [17:10] cool [17:11] Any idea's? [17:11] sebsebseb, is it a USB mic? or just a normal analog mic? [17:12] it's not a USB [17:12] got the pink and blue ports, and I connec how it's meant to conenct, but what I just said === massimo_ is now known as Guest6208 [17:13] did you make sure it isn't muted? [17:13] yep it's not muted [17:13] when I try to get it working [17:14] I think the OS needs configuring for it, and then it may work if possible, but I don't tend to do stuff with sound for a start. however I did make sure everything was turend up in alsamixer which didn't amke a difference [17:14] I've only just started recovering from Unity [17:14] Hedgehog456: recovery from Unity? [17:15] Hedgehog456: Can you tell me if context menus un unity work the same as in windows, or the same as in GNome?) [17:15] sebsebseb: It scarred me :P [17:15] have any of you guys used the spaces in Mac OSX?! I would like to make something similar to that in Ubuntu... where a screen comes up showing me my four spaces... I am running 10.04 [17:15] anyone know a good howto on setting up remote x log ins? [17:15] froq: Compiz [17:15] Hedgehog456: how so? [17:15] context menu = menu that pops up when you press right mouse [17:16] Hedgehog456, awesome! THANKS. [17:16] sebsebseb: It constantly crashed, destroying my work, it was slow, it was a usability nightmare [17:16] froq: Let me see the plugin... [17:16] kk [17:16] oh right ok @ Hedgehog456 [17:16] How can I assign a keyboard shortcut to the Ubuntu button? [17:17] froq: Expo [17:17] hi, I just started an install of the latest ubuntu and told it to encrypt my home folder. I''m unsure if this is a good idea, it's for a laptop with an SSD. I plan to backup frequently [17:17] is there a way to undo ? [17:17] as in unencrypt the home folder ? [17:17] blip-: not a good idea [17:18] blip-: that's really a power users option, so not sure why they make it so seen [17:18] however apparnatly for example if you re install and have an encrypted home, you could then have problems accessing the data [17:18] sebsebseb, I've been using Linux for 6 users but never encrypted home, but now it seems to make sense specially for a laptop [17:18] blip-: however if you told it to to encryptet let it finnish I guess, get your data, and start over with a new home [17:19] well yeah if your computer is unlikely to get stolen or have someone going on it pshyically that you don't want on it, looking at your data === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [17:19] Anything new with Additional drivers bug? (Driver is installed, but not currently in use) Getting really annoying because i can' play games... :( [17:19] then the encrypted home is quite pointless [17:19] sebsebseb, no it's a fresh install [17:19] blip-: also if I remember correctly I basically read an earlier before about how data isn't really that secure, when the home is encrypted [17:20] ,because the whole hard disk isn't [17:20] blip-: well I guess start over and don't do the encryption like I was saying anyway [17:21] need help ubuntu 10.10 not seeing 2MB SRAM card when inserted [17:22] sebsebseb, ok I'll check some articles online about it, if security isn't so good then it's not worth [17:22] http://i.imgur.com/xLEHE.png [17:22] blip-: do you have a reason why it shouldn't be encrypted ? [17:22] blip-: well it's for people who are likely to have their computer stolen, or have someone they don't want looking at their data on it I guess, or yeah the rather paranoid [17:23] Not sure what I am doing wrong when I try to check the md5sum using my macbook. Can someone see if I am doing it wrong? http://pastext.net/3232 [17:23] hey dudes, just installed ubuntu with the Wubi installer (lazy lazy me ^) Now Im trying to find where all the windows files are hiding. Mostly intrested in getting access to my gaming folder... (only one harddrive at the moment so linux/windows with games and all on the same one)... where do I find this? thanks in advance [17:23] industria, i've never done encryption, I don't have sensitive stuff but it's a laptop after all. it can get stolen in public [17:23] industria, I'm worried abbout file system faluire or losing my data [17:23] Muglert_: /host or something if I remember correctly, also much better to use real partitions for any Linux distro [17:24] Muglert_: install ntfs-3g and then mkdir /media/windows and mount/dev/sd /media/windows [17:24] Is a HD Movie Accelerator for Linux? HD 4850 gpu [17:24] blip-: ok sounds like you don't need encryption then, oh and don't save passwords on the computer for things, or do so, but in a secure way or something, and yeah that's fine [17:24] Celthunder, thanks man ^^ Im just trying it all out and see if its something I will stick with :p [17:24] blip-: There could be a potential problem if you want to move the dist to another installation, but with a laptop I would encrypt - especially if you have out in public [17:25] Muglert_: if you want to automount it look into autofs...very useful [17:25] Muglert_: no what celthunder told you to do is for a pshyicall install real partitions, not Windows [17:25] Muglert_: celthunder Also a pshyicall partitioend install, would show the Windows partition anyway, and allow access to it [17:25] read and write [17:25] industria, I don't often reinstall, I plan to use 11.04 kubuntu for at least a year or two, maybe dist upgrade but in that case I can move /home to another machine then copy it back right ? [17:26] where as with wubi and /host or whatever it is, I think it's read only access [17:26] sebsebseb: eh i havn't had windows in like ayear now but i always had to add it to my autofs rules [17:26] blip-: yes [17:26] celthunder: right, but Wubi is differnet to a normal partitioend insteall of Ubuntu [17:26] and Muglert_ has wubi ^ [17:27] Does Ubuntu support LVM out of box? [17:27] such I do :p be back laters, have stuff to do right now [17:27] hello is anyone available to help me? [17:27] Rickyboy107: no we all happen to be at lunch at the same time [17:27] roasted_: I think in the custom option in the installer, you may be able to get LVM [17:27] !ask | Rickyboy107 [17:27] Rickyboy107: 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. :-) [17:27] roasted_: should as the tools to do it are pretty much standard core utils [17:27] sebsebseb, now, I'm having a little difficulty understanding something. LVM is basically virtual partitions, right?

That siad, is LVM raid, or is LVM virtual partitioning? Or... is it both?

I want the command line to tell me one of those three things [17:32] Rickyboy107: when you download an ISO for an OS, really you should check your downoad, before burning it's conents to CD and using, and really the Ubuntu site should be much more clear about that, but well no they still aren't after all this time [17:32] its worked on a friends pc earlier today so the iso isnt damaged [17:32] sebsebseb, industria: I read the caveats section about encrypting home, none of these issues bother me so I guess i'll encrypt. but one more thing, if the OS get's damaged/corrupted, does that mean I can't decrypt home as well ? [17:33] can anyone tell me a app to make multiboot usb? the app can be for windows or linux :)..... plz private me with msg if you know [17:33] I guess I'll need to keep an external HDD at home that I make weekly/daily backups of /home to [17:33] Rickyboy107: well get the 64bit, check ISO, like I was saying, and try that, if you still got problems, it may simpally be that 11.04 doesn't like your hardware, and then you can try a previous version such as 10.10 or 10.04 or some other distro even [17:34] okay i will try 64bits [17:34] Thanls [17:34] blip-: that's a good idea to do anyway [17:34] Thanks* [17:34] hi [17:34] <_jop> needlez, "pgrep totem" will return pid(s) if any totem players are open, or nothing if none are [17:34] blip-: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1012/reinstall-ubuntu-with-encrypted-home-directory === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [17:35] <_jop> blip-, if you are going to use an encrypted /home, try to keep it as a seperate partition [17:35] blip-: if things mess up enough, and your using an encrypted home, then yeah I guess you are rather likely to lose the data [17:35] industria, thanks [17:35] Hey guys.

[17:36] blip-: I have encrypted 100GB home on a regular hard drive (in a laptop), and see no performance impact [17:36] blip-: no it shouldn't unless you're nonstop doing massive transfers maybe...even then it shouldn't be noticable though [17:37] karni, does it decrypt all on login or has to do it to each file ? if so there would a delay if I want to play a large video file for example ? === danslo1 is now known as danslo [17:37] blip-: when you log in, it mounts the encrypted file system, so it's transparent to you [17:37] <_jop> blip-, the speed degrade is not very noticable, I use full disk encryption with 512-bit aes-xts and haven't noticed any speed degrades yet [17:37] _jop: after pgrep totem how is there a way to tell if the movie in totem is playing or paused or stoped? like by using dbus?? I creating a script that says if totem isn't playing or paused, then totem --quit [17:37] how can i set kernel parameters (permanentally) on ubuntu 11.04? [17:38] blip-: and no, it doesn't decrypt everything ;) it mounts the encrypted file system [17:38] blip-: so you can see files as if they were unencrypted [17:38] <_jop> reliability, do you use grub2 or grub3? === thegladiator is now known as thevishy [17:38] grub 1.99 [17:38] blip-: no, I don't think there would be any delay.

I like Chromium the best personally but that is a subjective opionion [19:10] ok i am useing ssh to remote into a ubuntu computer with two hard drives how do i switch to the other hard drive? [19:10] <_jop> I also tried the midori browser, it is very minimalist but I was very impressed by it [19:10] yes chromium seems better [19:10] techcrisis: cd command.. You may want to read some bash tutorials. [19:11] magepsycho: try a few and see which YOU like and use that. There are many to choose from [19:11] nothingspecial, im not talking about the iso, im talking about transmission, I just installed transmission, i guess it downloads to ~/Default by default? [19:11] hello my 'file' 'edit' etc are missing from the windows (all windows) i'm using XFCE any ideas [19:11] well i am using firefox n chromium [19:11] techcrisis: cd /path/to/the/directory/mountpioint/of/the/drive/in/question === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [19:11] osse: in unity? the one that brings up the dash? the super key does that by default (windows key usually) [19:11] <_jop> tucemiux, transmission defaults to ~/Downloads I believe [19:12] tucemiux: it goes to ~/Downloads by default [19:12] magepsycho: I always keep several browsers installed, just in-case. Certain websites look different in different browsers [19:12] tucemiux: Did you install transmission-cli (not just transmission)? [19:12] trism, wow, I didn't realize! Thanks! [19:12] _jop, thanks! I just created the directory [19:12] !browser | magepsycho [19:12] magepsycho: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [19:12] nothingspecial, I dont have a GUI on that box [19:12] Theres some sites with Unity 'cheat sheets' for wallpaper ussage. to help you learn the keys [19:13] magepsycho: there are more, search in software centre [19:13] tucemiux: wget [19:13] hey all on 'wakeup' from a suspend - the screen is dimmed [19:13] is that a known issue? [19:13] ActionParsnip: i thought epiphany switched to webkit? [19:13] It's a simple cli bittorrent client, the -D option means no download limit, you can use -d 50 to limit it to 50kbs/s The -u 5 option limits upload to 5kbs a second, change it to what you like [19:13] does anyone use epiphany ? really. [19:14] tucemiux: If you need encryption use -er [19:14] when using Xfce dm i can't get the 'file' 'edit' etc menus to show up in my windows. is there some config option to fix that? [19:14] nothingspecial, so I guess this is what I need to download the 32 bit version: transmission-cli -D -u 5 http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [19:14] ThinkT510: not sure, check and if so you can submit a revised factoid [19:14] tucemiux: Yeah, on one line [19:14] bellicjr: I do sometimes, if I don't want to mess with the saved tabs in firefox or the recent places in chromium, lol I just open ephiphany [19:14] Can anyone tell me what is the command to RUN "Appearance" menu? [19:15] <_jop> Epiphany's latest version uses webkit [19:15] <_jop> i think [19:15] ThinkT510: use: /msg ubottu !something is text [19:15] dr willis thanks for the info, but how do i get it to list the drive name [19:15] techcrisis: mount command shows mounted filesystemns. [19:15] Is there an Ubuntu-friendly way to install versions of Apache, PHP, and MySQL other than those listed in Synaptic? [19:15] techcrisis: if its not mounted.. then you must mount it. [19:15] I'm wondering how I would monitor the a download if I run a transmission process on the background? [19:16] tucemiux: it has a web interface. [19:16] ThinkT510: change something and text to what you desire and it will be reviewed [19:16] how to pin run box in panel? [19:16] I just need to run "Appearance" from "Run Application" can anyone tell me how is it called, becouse it is not "appearance" [19:16] ? [19:16] Dr_Willis, yeah but I would have to open a port on my router [19:16] tucemiux: if you enable web interface a [19:17] ActionParsnip: i suppose !something is the factoid that needs replacing/correcting? [19:17] tucemiux: ssh in and use a cli based browser perhaps.. :) [19:17] not_annoying, what is transmission-cli??? [19:17] Igor_Elez: gnome-appearance-properties [19:17] a cli version of the transmission bittorrent client [19:17] tucemiux: and use android then transdroid will help manage the app [19:17] tucemiux: a bittorrent client [19:17] Dr_Willis, what is "cli" [19:17] trism, thanks! [19:17] ThinkT510: indeed [19:17] <_jop> tucemiux, cli = command line interface [19:17] !cli [19:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [19:18] tucemiux: Command Line Interface [19:18] ahhhh _jop thanks! [19:18] tucemiux: because you don't have a gui. [19:18] tucemiux: No GUI [19:18] nothingspecial, so I should uninstall "transmission" and install "transmissioncli" [19:18] where is wacom-tools i cant find it [19:18] tucemiux: not like it will matter much === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL [19:18] transmission-cli [19:18] use one when in X, other from console/terminals [19:19] Dr_Willis, so one doesnt need the other to work then [19:19] <_jop> tucemiux, if you run the transmission-daemon on your headless computer, you can use a browser to connect to your headless computer [19:19] anbody know anything if there is a good program on ubuntu for tracking e-mail after it is sent. i saw something called readnotify but was not sure what else is out there [19:19] tucemiux: If you prefer to use the terminal or the console, then yes. [19:19] tucemiux: no idea. both are installed by default I thouight [19:19] ThinkT510: e.g: /msg ubottu !work is actionParsnip hates going to work [19:19] <_jop> installing transmission-cli should be enough as it'll handle all the dependencies [19:19] soyo, I will only be using the terminal on this box, I only need transmission-cli? [19:20] tucemiux: yes [19:20] tucemiux: yes [19:20] ActionParsnip: i see, thanks [19:20] You can alwaus ssh in, and use X forwarding to run/use Graphiocal apps. :) [19:20] Dr_Willis, yeah but ive been running this box without GUI and it works great, im not going to mess with it [19:20] Dr_Willis: woah woah woah really? [19:20] How do I install older versions of a package? For instance, I'd like to install PHP 5.2.11, but Synaptic doesn't have an option to force that version. Is there a way to add more? [19:21] tucemiux: You can use wget if you like, but you will need to download the .iso not the torrent. It's just using torrents is better for everybody === crash is now known as Guest5408 [19:21] soyo: yes... [19:21] Or use transgui from another system to connect [19:21] ActionParsnip: sweet, it was submitted, thanks for showing me how [19:21] How I can a use the Terminal launcher to open a new terminal window? As it I just focus on the already open windows when I click on it [19:21] Dr_Willis: :D [19:21] how to pin run application in panel? [19:21] osse: middle click. search the omgubuntu blog site for the Unity cheat sheet wallpaper. [19:21] It just gets more amazing every hour! [19:21] ThinkT510: no worries. Lots of ways to contribute ;-) [19:21] magepsycho: right click, it has a menu item [19:22] soyo: you could use xming on a windows box. and display linux apps on your windows machine. :) [19:22] Dr_Willis, brilliant! Thanks! Yes, I will definitely get the cheat sheet :) === jeff_ is now known as Guest66923 [19:22] what's that command that lets you connect and disconnect from a terminal session?

Although I hate Windows even though I am forced to samba with it [19:23] Some decent UNITY Docs ---> http://theravingrick.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-effort-at-writing-help-for-unity.html [19:23] yes Dr_willis [19:23] not no option to pin [19:23] when using Xfce dm i can't get the 'file' 'edit' etc menus to show up in my windows. is there some config option to fix that?

I Work in ubuntu 11.04 [19:23] fructose, can you give me a hand on running a command on screen? Basically I want to start a process then log out, Ill come back later and screen back in again [19:23] magepsycho: find some run widgit perhaps for the desktop. [19:24] tucemiux: It's been a long time since I've used it, sorry [19:24] where to find the widgets? [19:24] any official site [19:24] !screen [19:24] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

The computer boots up fine, but it freezez at the load screen. I just installed the 64-bits version of the latest dist yesterday. After rebooting several times yesterday I maneged to get into the system once, and then it worked perfectly. I have a ATi Radeon graphics card, which I think is the problem. And I get Oops 2 [#1] sometimes, after the load screen [19:24] freezez.. Help? =) [19:24] tucemiux: yes [19:24] Soyo: could put some AV so the system doesn't put a virus on the share [19:24] magepsycho: check the package maanger search. I dont know whats in there these days. There are ways to use KDE widgits on unity, or google has their own widgits now a days. [19:25] magepsycho: some docks can also do widgits now. Cairo-Dock I think can [19:25] tucemiux: press Ctrl-d then later type screen -r [19:25] magepsycho: or use a program like guake to get a scrolldown console from a hotkey [19:26] I have a temp files disk-partition. SHould i use sxt2 3 or 4? Basically i just want speed over anything else [19:26] Seul: drop to cli with CTRL+ALT+F1 and run updates. May help [19:26] Daghdha: i dont think theres much need for ext2. as for 3 or 4.. well.. personalluy i would stick with ext4 [19:26] Guake is awesome!

The screen just freezes and i cant do shit, except move the mouse.

[19:31] ok thanks [19:31] hello. in my operating systems course I need to make some kind of learning material (hands-on kinda type) regarding operating systems. I was thinking of making something with ubuntu, but I havent figured out that would be. any suggestions about configuring something etc? [19:31] Pici, so start up screen then control A, then start the command, then control-D ? [19:31] tucemiux: I got it wrong, it's Ctrl-A then D to detach [19:31] How to reinstall sound???? [19:31] So if I'd like to install PHP 5.2.11 and it's not listed in apt-cache policy php5, is there a way to add it? Can I add legacy repos or anything? [19:31] tucemiux: No, screen - command- Ctrl-A D [19:31] tucemiux: No. Use ctrl-a to enter the mode where you can enter screen commands. 'd' is the key to detatch from screen. See ctrl-a then '?' for help [19:32] Antwon: learning material? like a tutorial? [19:32] mm, something like that, yes [19:33] tucemiux: May I suggest Ubuntu's pimped up version of screen named byobu, lots of keybindings to make screen use easier......... or would that just confuse the issue more? [19:33] Guest22603: That's not very specific [19:33] Antwon, here's a good one for an OS class, how about hosting your own server? then having the capability to be able to run processes from anywhere, being able to log out of your server, then come back and log in again -- you can reattach yourself to the process that is running [19:33] Antwon: you could make a video tutorial on how to install ubuntu side by side with windows (or a slideshow) [19:34] i'm the only one who's left screen for tmux ? [19:34] in settings I see disabled field with "integreted audio" ... and writed "imitation of output" [19:34] ThinkT510: well I installed several operating systems in our class already, so that's not the best option.

I think you should try to make a video elabroate on all the steps of the ubuntu installer, to help new users make better decicions on which configuration options they should use. Especially considering partitioning [19:36] Antwon: a tutorial on how to set up grub in ubuntu to boot multiple operating systems (especially those it doesn't autodetect like openbsd) [19:36] nothingspecial, thanks for the link!

I know you'd at least have one appreciative viewer [19:38] when I login in system ... I see error that /tmp/3232/*** is not writable! [19:38] can I delete all files from tmp without trables in future? [19:39] Guest22603: deleting files in /tmp while programs are running can be bad [19:39] Guest22603: after a reboot everything is ok, without a reboot there can be problems in the current session [19:39] Guest22603: /tmp is cleaned out after every reboot [19:40] nothingspecial, thanks, the ISO is downloading by the time I get home the thing should be downloaded === takashi is now known as SkYnEt [19:40] Antwon: Or you could focus on how to better secure, clean and create a backup system in ubuntu.

It's a site with keyboard shortcuts to thousands of programs [20:43] ahham guntbert, thanks the info, you mean, that there is no up-to-date natty ISO, right? [20:43] when I do a sudo fdisk -l it tells me that one of the End values is one greater than the number of cylinders on the drive. This is after using the testdisk utility to write the partition table. Can anyone help me resolve this? [20:43] OttifantSir: thanks [20:44] antivirtel: yes, the procedure is: install, then update [20:44] I just booted into Ubuntu (safemode) and still don't have my menus! errrrr... this is frustrating. [20:45] what menux? [20:45] menus [20:45] vectory: alt+f1 doesn't work for me. Something is crashing. [20:45] in fact, when I do an sfdisk -d /dev/sda > somefile.txt it also tells me "Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary." [20:45] Zoohouse: what version of ubuntu is it anyway? === kassius is now known as mercvrivs [20:45] i was thinking of gnome 2 all the time [20:45] I am having trouble downloading torrents on my school's wifi network. I have Internet access. nmap says my ports are all blocked. Does this mean I can't torrent? === mercvrivs is now known as kassius [20:46] guntbert, :D I do it after any release, what is not so interesting :S - I wanted to miss the 300MB download after 700MB cd download :S - but it is failed :S [20:46] thanks [20:46] edbian: pretty much [20:46] guys, do you know easy way to story all settings and may be installed programms for recovering it in fresh installed system? If I get all from ~/ directory and delete all system. And install new! And put my stored files to new ~/ then all will be fine? [20:46] edbian: thats exactly what it means [20:46] edbian: not that im a expert or anything [20:46] vectory: velcroshooz :( Ok thanks guys [20:46] bogey: I restarted my installation of Ubuntu 11.04 64. It booted up and the top and bottom bar of GNOME doesn't load. The computer is responsive but the top and bottom bars don't run. [20:46] Didn't think torrent meant running a server but I suppose it makes sense [20:46] antivirtel: you're welcome :-) [20:46] is there any open source socket server/client? [20:46] Zoohouse: do you have composite enabled? [20:47] Zoohouse: try ubuntu classic without effects [20:47] bogey: i have. the last one I tried just now is Ubuntu safemode [20:47] alpha-aquilae: node.js [20:47] iirc [20:47] join #pcl [20:47] Guest43994: all thinkg you installed with apt-get or synaptic are in /var/cache/apt/archives [20:47] bogey: ubuntu classic doesn't load the bars... [20:48] alpha-aquilae: What do you mean? Lots of apps uses sockets [20:48] Guest43994:and your setting are in /home and you can also check /etc [20:48] zvacet: so. I need to copy all from /var/vache/apt/archives too. Ok [20:48] alpha-aquilae: are you talking about winsock? [20:48] hi guys, it is safe to pay bills and online stuff thru ubuntu ? [20:48] Guest43994:but if you want to save installed programs copy /var/vache/apt/archives [20:49] phong_: very [20:49] !aptoncd | Guest43994 [20:49] Zoohouse: ubuntu classic wihtout effects [20:49] Guest43994: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [20:49] alpha-aquilae: netcat? [20:49] Zoohouse: do you have nvidia driver isntalled, not noveau [20:49] Why can't ubuntu do network sharing? [20:49] bogey: I've tried that one too. Doesn't load the bars. I'll try it again to make 100% sure [20:50] rcmaehl: it can [20:50] Zoohouse: lsmod |grep nvidia [20:50] zvacet: thanks, bro. [20:50] Guest43994: yw :) [20:50] hi [20:50] bogey: I installed the one when the Hardware Driver app thing comes up... [20:50] bogey: ill run the command in a second [20:50] Hello. Has something changed about keyboard handling in Natty? My xmodmap isn't being honoured any more. I've found some bug reports about this, but no other info. [20:50] I have a question on configuring xchat. Is it possible to stop receiving notifications when a specific user has joined and quits a room? I want to know about other users, just not a specific one [20:50] Zoohouse: check your xorg.conf you have these enabled, if you like to run with effects [20:50] linxeh: I right clicked the folder and shared it, alllowed samba exceptions on both firewalls, and all I get is Failed to retrieve share list from server\ [20:51] sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite [20:51] sudo nvidia-xconfig --render-accel [20:51] sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite [20:51] sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals [20:51] bogey: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:51] Zoohouse, more likly unity crash try "classic" [20:51] hello. my wireless connection quality massively dropped with 11.04, and disconnects me from it every 2 minutes. Is this a kown problem? [20:52] Daghdha: swapon -s, free [20:52] rcmaehl: sharing samba over the internet? [20:52] linxeh: no their both on the same router [20:52] when i connect remotely to my server (ssh) and use ncftp to download from my ftp site. Is there a way for me to exit the tunnel but keep downloading. its seems to me that the dl stop when i disconnect. [20:52] asraniel_: maybe its a driver issue, then only people with that wifi adapter know it most likely [20:52] bogey: lsmod | grep nvidia outputs: nvidia 8107272 20 [20:52] edbian vectory guntbert: i have a robot connected to a pc, and i want to send comands via internet to my robot, for this i need a linux socket server/client to do that, i could program one it is ok, but i was wwondring if some open source staff exists? [20:53] linxeh: 192.168.1.6 and 192.168.1.3 within my network [20:53] robin0800: classic and classic without effect don't load the bars [20:53] rcmaehl: you may need to configure other smb options - i do it with a text editor, but havent set ting up for a long time [20:53] alpha-aquilae: How do you send commands to the robot when you're at that machine (not over the Internet) [20:53] alpha-aquilae: there is no such thing as a "generic" server [20:53] Drake|: i think when u log off ssh, you session and all running ptogramms are stopped [20:53] rcmaehl: not sure about what options you need to enable / install [20:53] alpha-aquilae: Do you mean something like netcat? [20:54] I do not want to work as system administer... I hope it is aufull work. [20:54] seems so vextory. you know of a way to prevent that? perhaps an other way to remote my server who keeps the programs running? [20:54] Zoohouse, in classic alt+f2 then killall gnome-panel [20:54] edbian: I send a command, eg move backward, i will modify the server so that it sends the approriate command to my robot [20:55] alpha-aquilae: telnet can do that, or netcat [20:55] * mervaka now has ut2004 set up as an x-session! :) [20:55] robin0800: altF2 just starts an other "shell" like normal gnome is run on altf7 [20:55] How do I replace unity-window-decorator with something that works as it's supposed to? Mine "bleeds through" the title bar when in fullscreen, ie I see the title bar of the window behind it, and video isn't shown on that position [20:56] alpha-aquilae: or login over ssh remotelt, and issue the commands to the robot software?

I have Xubuntu Natty 11.04 [20:57] Drake|: to let a job continue, maybe crontab is the right thing [20:57] carandraug: I don't think so but ask in #xchat please [20:57] robin0800: the gnome-panel process isn't found.

[20:58] unfamiliar with cronjob vectory [20:58] rcmaehl: I think there are others. [20:58] is this the right channel for partition stuff?

[20:59] lol [20:59] te: yes all are unblocked [20:59] right, yes, I am on Ubuntu... OK... can anyone help with cylinder boundary issues? [20:59] The closest to gnome-panel is gnome-panel-screenshot [21:00] bobfred: just ask your real question please [21:00] guntbert: (I did)... but here goes: [21:00] when I do a sudo fdisk -l it tells me that one of the End values is one greater than the number of cylinders on the drive. This is after using the testdisk utility to write the partition table. [21:00] robin0800: i just ran apt-get install gnome-panel [21:00] in fact, when I do an sfdisk -d /dev/sda > somefile.txt it also tells me "Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary." [21:00] rcmaehl: Port 137 UDP & 139 TCP - used by nmbd [21:00] vel vectory I can do that.. but when i go to work in the morning i dont have time to dl.. and when i get home. i dont wanna wait :p so wanna be able to dl whilst on work =) (btw did u mean crontab?)

[21:01] edbian: i will send them over the internet, (TCP/IP stack) using linux sockets [21:01] rcmaehl: Run nmap from another PC to see what it is or is not listening on. [21:01] meh >< had to use windows sharing accross ubuntu installs >< [21:01] alpha-aquilae: I'm asking how you send commands when you aren't using the Internet [21:01] where does flash player save files from youtube, because i don't have them im tmp folder? [21:01] isn't CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE is supposed to restart X? [21:01] Zoohouse, good idea [21:02] Zoohouse: Nope. [21:02] bobfred: as far as I know it is only a warning, not an error, but I'm not very familiar with the low levels on disks :) [21:02] !dontzap | Zoohouse [21:02] Zoohouse: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [21:02] via an serial connexion between a pc and my robot [21:02] Zoohouse, disabled by default now [21:02] gparted doesn't see any of the partitions [21:02] kubanc: Oh, they've changed the way it works now days. You prolly need one of those download helper things now. [21:02] robin0800, Pici, ah thanks... [21:03] Zoohouse: I think that option is blocked but you can enable it don´t know how [21:03] brb [21:03] Is there ubuntu channel for chat? :D [21:03] Zato-1: #ubuntu-oftopic [21:03] Zato-1: Sorry: #ubuntu-offtopic [21:03] Pici: Thanks [21:03] bobfred: try sudo fdisk -l [21:03] Zato-1: shure. for non drunks, several [21:03] bobfred: as I said I'm no expert in that field but you could !pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l (for starters) [21:03] edbian: via an serial connexion between a pc and my robot [21:03] zvacet, its in keyboad/layout/options [21:04] robin0800: tnx [21:04] bobfred: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #and send resulting URL [21:04] DasEi: Yo ho ho and the bottle of...RUM! :D [21:04] te: thank you! (i am mouseless) [21:04] alpha-aquilae: What software do you use. [21:05] from experience, anyone knows if your computer will refuse to boot up if you took out a hard drive and didnt change your fstab file? [21:05] edbian: there is no software, it is a bash script [21:05] The croneditor worked! [21:05] thanks #ubuntu! [21:05] tucemiux: probably if that hard drive had important stuff on it [21:05] fdisk -l : http://www.pastebin.com/HVULANDW [21:06] Greetings. [21:06] alpha-aquilae: The bash script is software. You could easily write a python program that opens sockets and send the commands and then runs the commands using os.system() [21:06] ikonia, how i can open .pub file on ubuntu [21:06] genewitch, it was just a secondary hard drive thats used to store files, no system files, just data [21:06] Moment of truth. After installing gnome-panel, I am going to log in Ubuntu Classic (No effects) [21:06] PS: I only care about /dev/sda [21:06] YAY my bars are back! [21:06] how do you alt-delete-backspace nowadays? [21:06] Is there a way to install a package that was removed? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metamail/2.7-54/+publishinghistory is no longer available and we kinda need it. If so, can you please indicate an M for me to RTFM? Thanks in advance. [21:06] NOT about /dev/sdb [21:06] ceo, libreoffice [21:06] * Zoohouse does the happy dance [21:07] edbian: : yes i know, but i don't want to reinvent the wheel, if something robust exists, why not using it [21:07] !zap [21:07] alpha-aquilae: ssh exists [21:07] robin0800, am wil try thanks [21:07] Thanks robin0800, bogey, and everyone else that helped. =) [21:07] bobfred: Well, there you go. sda has a bunch of partitions and sdb only has one. [21:07] alpha-aquilae: Sounds like ssh would work great :) [21:07] te: right. sdb is an external drive [21:07] that one is OK [21:07] i need to worry about sda [21:08] bobfred: What do you need to do to it? [21:08] edbian: ok, thanks [21:08] could someone help me with an odd issue that popped up on my DHCP+BIND local network? [21:08] te: the cylinder boundaries are out of whack (apparently) [21:08] bobfred: Are you unable to use it? [21:08] te: gparted doesn't think there are any partitions [21:09] te: correct [21:09] gparted thinks the space is unallocated [21:09] bobfred: Doesn't boot any more? [21:09] te: correct [21:09] te: I'm running in a LiveCD [21:09] tucemiux: k ( if I remember correctly ) [21:10] added reverse map from 35.0.0.10.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. <-- this is the problem [21:10] alpha-aquilae: sure [21:10] somehow the ip is being appended onto the standard reverse zone [21:11] te: looking at the list, there, i notice a few inconsistencies. First, sda7 does not begin where sda6 ends [21:12] te: also, both sda4 and sda9 end on the wrong cylinder (according to the summary, the physical cylinders end at 77825) [21:12] do mailing lists work so that i can just send an email to one without being a subscriber and receive responses to my thread? [21:12] any ideas on how to fix [21:13] i noticed that the Documents folder contentes are searchable from the dash in unity. is there a way to choose which directories and the depth are searchable in the unity dash? [21:13] what does windows use for sharing files? samba? [21:13] so, it's like the geometry is off somehow [21:13] when I try to run gparted, it says: "Can't have a partition outside the disk!" [21:13] bobfred: O_O [21:14] bobfred, For all hard disk work I prefer http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html [21:14] robin0800: I have that, actually... and i used testdisk [21:14] robin0800: testdisk actually is what got me this far [21:14] robin0800: everything was _all_ messed up before that [21:15] Can you please recommend a way to install the metamail package, last seen in Karmic and deleted in Lucid, on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS? Thanks in advance. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metamail/2.7-54 [21:15] Where do I find the xterm?

[21:19] I've got a nvidia card with the proprietary drivers installed and all video playback is flickering... anyone else got this issue and perhaps a solution? [21:19] you cant create an extended partition using the 11.04 CD??? [21:19] what is the ubuntu AWS channel? [21:19] bobfred, yes [21:19] nDuff: once you set your settings there it will create a monitors.xml [21:21] chadhs, ...hmm -- it's showing a single 3840x1080 monitor, rather than recognizing that more than one exist. Probably a conflict with nvidia TwinView, I'm guessing. [21:22] * nDuff disables TwinView, and wanders off to restart X [21:22] robin0800: which app exactly?

[21:28] aah, ok [21:28] !dist-upgrade [21:28] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [21:28] <_jop> "dist-upgrade [21:28] <_jop> dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary.

[21:37] Hi all [21:38] hi, I found a weird ubuntu 11.04 installer glitch - the characters from the terminal text preceeding X server start overlap the graphics of the X server. it looks like the VT is trying to refresh a screen that is also accessed by the X. it's completely impossible to use the system then. anyone else experienced that? [21:38] hey, I'm gonna reformat soon, can I update to the beta of Ubuntu 11.10 [21:39] i am having trouble with acidrip ripping dvds can someone reccomend a better dvd ripper? [21:39] _jop: gotta run, I'll have to look into it later. thanks. [21:39] Need some help on something that's really rare and I doubt anyone here has used or knows much about. NUbuntu. [21:39] Chaorain, no there is no 11.10 beta or alpha for that matter [21:40] <_jop> tasslehoff, all right [21:40] If I've got `DROP all -- XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 0.0.0.0/0` in my iptables LOCALOUTPUT chain, how can I remove it, and create a rule so this traffic is always allowed? [21:40] !anyone | dommer [21:40] dommer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:40] <_jop> tasslehoff, seems like "rfkill block bluetooth" on startup might be what u need ;/ [21:40] robin0800: kk thanks [21:40] Anyone got info on NUbuntu? [21:41] _jop: cool. thanks. [21:41] dommer: and if your question about nUbuntu, this is not the correct channel, this channel is only for ubuntu support [21:41] there is no nubuntu channel D: [21:41] dommer: maybe but this is still an ubuntu-support channel [21:41] dommer: "As of April 4, 2010, the official website is closed with no explanation." [21:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUbuntu [21:42] Trying to find a solution for a webserver so that multiple distinct user accounts can use rsync/scp/sftp to upload files to /var/www/foobar/ and files will all end up writable by everyone else; right now, 'everyone' are in the group 'web' so having a default mode for files in that section of the filesystem of 774 instead of 744 would be reasonable [21:42] no, I need help with WIFI activation. If no one here wants to help, I'll just try somewhere else [21:42] whois patrix2 [21:43] dommer: as i said, no nubuntu-support here, sorry [21:43] Hi, guys. I just installed indicator-weather. How do I start it? Do I have to log out and in? [21:43] i running ubuntu 10.10 and i need to free up some disk space.....when i install a package isnt there still the original package there even after its installed? [21:43] en1gma: correct [21:43] osse, double click icon [21:43] is it apt-get purge? [21:43] en1gma: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean [21:43] can anyone confirm that 'ln -s ~/.wine /media/DUMP/.wine /media/DUMP/dusf/.wine' will make it so synaptic will install WINE on /media/DUMP even though it normally goes to ~/.wine ? [21:43] ahh ok thanks [21:43] en1gma: purge uninstalls and cleans [21:44] en1gma: apt-get purge doesnt delete the cached deb-file. apt-get clean does that (for all cached files) [21:44] robin0800, which icon? [21:44] yea that would be what i dont want to do then :) [21:44] well aren't you helpful... [21:44] dusf: we are very helpfull with ubuntu [21:44] osse, indicator weather [21:44] dusf: sorry wrong nick [21:44] np [21:44] so how do I put the volume controller back on the task bar by the clock? There used to be an option for that [21:45] <^Satana^> ^Satana^ saluta tutti voi di #ubuntu [21:45] dusf: You want to move the .wine dir to another location than your home folder right? [21:45] Anyone know anything about creating a directory or setting users so that files default to 77x instead of 7xx when created via rsync/sftp? [21:45] 'ln -s ~/.wine /media/DUMP/dusf/.wine' even [21:45] vqxw: i want it shortcutted to the partition that has most space [21:45] just did the sudo apt-get clean and that worked great...thanks for the info....and just added the info you all gave me to a text file so hopefully i dont have to ask again [21:46] robin0800, oops sorry. I didn't realize it made a shortcut in the applications menu/lens [21:46] dusf: just a sec [21:46] maybe umask 002? [21:46] hi all newbie here. is there a problem with 11.04 install? My cd install boots to Grub Rescue. [21:46] vqxw: np [21:47] I'm trying to create a script that updates packages on my server automatically. I'm using the sudo apt-get upgrade -y command to upgrade everything, which usually works fine. However, some packages have an interactive prompt while being updated, such as MySQL. Is there anyway I can either respond to these prompts with a default answer, or skip them entirely so I can upgrade them by hand later? === go8765 is now known as go8765[away] [21:47] deut, did not install properly [21:47] deut: reinstall. at least grub. probably needs a complete reinstall tho. [21:47] <_jop> Metroshica, yes | sudo apt-get upgrade [21:48] Metroshica: yes, you have to change the debian-frontend to do so, but installing automaticly updates is not a good idea [21:48] <_jop> Metroshica, it'll respond with 'y' to all prompts [21:48] Can anyone point me in the right direction to a temperatur indicator along the lines of the old applet? [21:48] robin, i tried to boot from cd (having burned it from iso) can't even install it. cd just boots straight into grub rescue prompt [21:48] just wondered if its an issue with 11.04 [21:48] the syntax is: ln -s path_where_you_want_the_wine_directory path_where_you_want_the_shortcut [21:48] deut, is it a 64-bit CD ? [21:48] deut, bad cd burn? [21:49] deut, for the 64-bit it is a known bug. It happened to me as well [21:49] dusf: the syntax is: ln -s path_where_you_want_the_wine_directory path_where_you_want_the_shortcut [21:49] vqxw: ty [21:49] 64bit natty booted fine here. [21:49] hmmm, possibly a bad burn although it did verify ok in nero. (32 bit btw) [21:49] maybe burn again. [21:49] vqxw: going with ln -s /media/DUMP/.wine ~/.wine [21:50] greetings ubuntu chan, i am so happy to be back online :) [21:50] will do - thanks for advice [21:50] dusf: that should work [21:50] truecrypt gives me this, "/usr/bin/truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: To such file or directory." How do i fix it? [21:50] deut, try the alternate cd more robust [21:50] mobius2: greetings. now go code. ;) [21:50] indeed :) [21:50] heii, i need some help how to make Wifi Access Point, i don't need the connection to world, i only wan't to set AP, so other computer can connect to it, and i than i can access to share on that pc which has AP, so click "Edit Connection..", "Wireless", "Add", i set mode to "Ad-Hoc", but what under IPV4 Settings tab ? for Method: there is a lot of choice, should i chose "Shared to other computer" or what ??? [21:50] yep, will do robin. These TDKs I have are shite. Thanks for tip. [21:51] Anon2756: is the "fuse" package installed [21:51] bye all - and thanks [21:51] Anon2756: install libfuse2 again? [21:51] how can I get syslog to put all messages from a particular host in into a special file? [21:52] Anon2756: Well I guess it's called libfuse [21:52] iceroot: Why is it a bad idea to auto update packages? That's I do currently, just sudo apt-get upgrade -y. How would I change the front end to automatically skip these? [21:52] libfuse2 in natty [21:52] I moved recently, my new room mate forwarded port 80 for me to a specific ip, but my computer is auto dhcp'ing and its not the ip I need. can someone tell me how to manually set my computer's ip to the one which I need in order for my webserver to be reachable? === Oer is now known as OerHeks [21:52] that's it sorted good sirs [21:52] i need "dot ten" and I'm auto dhcp'ing to "dot one thirteen" [21:52] Metroshica: " yes | sudo apt-get -y upgrade " -- it's bad because not all packages are perfect. doing this is surely going to break sth one day. [21:53] I know it's simple, but I've never had to do this before [21:53] hello all of you! [21:53] mobius2: iptables wiki. good luck. ;P [21:53] so my router is all set up, and I am supposed to instruct my computer to pull 192.168.0.10 in order for my webserver to be reachable [21:53] Inetk: hello [21:53] djustice, thanks for the tip [21:54] djustice: should I go through packages manually then? I've never had an issue before. Anyway, that works for a majority of the packages, but I"m talking about certain packages that open up a whole new prompt, such as MySQL, can I skip those so I can update them manually? [21:54] hi. i have a spare 100mbit connection. i want to torrent ubuntu. i am looking at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/ which one needs the most seeding ? [21:54] Metroshica, aptitude safe-upgrade is safer [21:54] robin0800: I'm in PartedMagic.... what do you suggest? [21:54] robin0800: what does safe-upgrade do exactly? === Zato-1 is now known as Zato-2 [21:55] robin0800: we have gparted again (which, again, can't see the partitions because of the table) [21:55] Metroshica, auto hold packages that need other packages [21:56] hi. i have a spare 100mbit connection. i want to torrent ubuntu. i am looking at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/ which one needs the most seeding ?

[21:56] hi can anybody help me with some issues tat I have with ubuntu desktop? [21:57] koumidis: just speak out the issues. won't know if we can help, until you do ;) [21:57] Dovid: I would say the live desktop cd for ubuntu, both 64 and 32-bit [21:57] Metroshica, yea I would and restrict the software sources as well === Zato-2 is now known as Zato-1 [21:58] robin0900, alright perfect, thanks for the help === david is now known as Guest50649 [21:59] Anyone know anything about creating a directory or setting users so that files default to 77x instead of 7xx when created via rsync/sftp? [21:59] Can I have simultaneously the new unity desktop and in the top also the older version of 10.10 desktop? [22:00] bobfred, don't think there's an easy solution to your problem [22:00] how do i determine my router's ip, aka the default gateway ip address from terminal? I'm looking through the output but I dont seem to be able to identify it [22:01] mobius2: sudo route -n should be sufficient [22:01] jrib, thanks :) [22:03] Good Evening! [22:04] Can I have simultaneously the new unity desktop and in the top also the older version of 10.10 desktop? [22:04] Hello, I Need help with conky and 11.04 [22:04] koumidis: I don't use the new ubuntu at the moment, but try running gnome-panel in termianl and see what happens, you might get the old panel back [22:04] join #slug [22:05] robin0800: heh. not looking for an easy solution... looking for the right one :) [22:06] is there any way in using dual monitors to make one monitor be desktop 1, the other desktop 2? [22:06] how can i mark a file as executable? [22:06] Hello, I Need help with conky and 11.04 [22:07] koumidis, yes you can switch between them as vqxw said , just by typing gnome-panel . I am using Default Gnome in 11.04 and executing unity do the job [22:07] dusf: right click the file - go to properties - permissions - allow execution (or something simmilar). Or you could run: chmod +x filename in terminal [22:07] is it not possible to assign a static 192 address to my computer using the graphical network tool in ubuntu? I see that there are all the various options available to edit, such as netmask, address, and gateway, but when I make changes to these variables I don't get the option to "apply" them [22:07] hi [22:08] aka the "apply" button is not selecatble [22:08] selectable* [22:08] vqxw: there is nothing under permissions like allow execution, but there are settings for 'dusf' to be allowed to read and write, for the group dusf it says 'none', and when i change it to read and write it changes itself back to 'none' after seconds... [22:08] Does anyone know, if it's possible to simply a cd for ubuntu that's simply for booting? I've a computer that I'd like to run from a SD card, but the computer seems incapable of booting from one [22:08] *make [22:08] mobius2: there is a Save... button in Network Manager [22:08] where I type gnome-panel? [22:08] tensorpudding, thanks for the tip mate [22:08] I have a question, is this --> "cat fichero > /dev/null 2>&1" the same as "cat fichero &> /dev/null" [22:08] ? [22:09] dusf: there is nothing futher down in the permission tab? below read write permissions? [22:09] dusf: They may have changed it === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [22:10] koumidis: in terminal: applications - accesories - terminal [22:11] but whe I do it I will have to keep open the terminal? [22:11] vqxw: http://oi55.tinypic.com/20tqnbb.jpg [22:11] to have gnome on? [22:11] koumidis: well yes, but we can make it permanent if it works [22:11] vqxw: http://oi55.tinypic.com/20tqnbb.jpg [22:12] vqxw: terminal took the command chmod +x mirc719.exe but trying to open it still returns: The file '/media/DUMP/Downloads/mirc719.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

[22:12] hi. i have a spare 100mbit connection. i want to torrent ubuntu. i am looking at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/ which one needs the most seeding ? [22:13] hello [22:13] hi [22:13] koumidis, but if you want to use older desktop you can choose Gnome classic at login time too. [22:14] dusf: That's a windows only .exe file linux does not run exefiles natively. if you need a particualr program try searching for it in the ubuntu software center. If you absolutly need to run that windows program you could try to run it with the program called wine (you will need to install it, it should be in the software center) To run a program with wine type wine path_to_exe_file in terminal [22:15] this might be a stupid question to ask, but how do I initiate the built-in VPN client? I've added a connection [22:16] vqxw: i am very familiar with wine, and it is isntalled [22:16] vqxw: i am testing to see if a small program mirc will install considering i have symlinked ~/.wine to /media/DUMP/dusf/.wine [22:16] Hi, I've downloaded a *.pdf but 'evince *.pdf' gives me "Error (0): Call to Object where the object was type 5, not the expected type 1 or 2 [22:16] ". How do I open the file ? [22:16] because I am a begginer how I can change the login to gnome classic? [22:17] koumidis: click the username then change session at the bottom.

[22:18] dusf try runniong winecfg and watch the output [22:18] dusf: Might work if you run winecfg first? [22:18] koumidis, at the login screen click your user name and when it ask for password at the bottom of screen there is an option to choose session where you can use Ubuntu Classic [22:18] can anybody tell me how to turn off hibernation after closing lid? I'm using GNOME 3 [22:18] I can choose only hibernation or suspend to ram in the power manager [22:18] lex0tanil: Asks for login where?

[22:20] What could explain a valid MD5, but when running a disk check, it reports an error in filesystem.squashfs? Tried burning a CD and using unetbootin. Happened with both 10.10 and 11.04. Just install a new Intel 320 Series SSD. [22:20] dusf: Possibly [22:20] My 11.04 system has been extremely unstable since the 11.04 update including 3 or omre daily crashes where the screen frezes and the caps locks starts blinking. How would I troubble-shoot this or submit a bug report [22:20] ward1234 [22:20] omid, OpenOffice is now owned by Oracle so FOSS community had forked a new community based version LibreOffice [22:21] hah. funny thing ... now am trying the .iso on vbox and passes correctly .. what a bump ... === ward is now known as Guest76245 === yorick_ is now known as Leftblank [22:21] <_jop> omid, libreoffice is a fork of openoffice, oracle no longer supports the commercial development of open office [22:21] I hate oracle.

[22:24] vqxw: winecfg allows you to change wine options, it works once i removed the symlink, and i've cut .wine to /media/DUMP/dusf/.wine and am now about to see if reapplying the symlinkg will let winecfg work [22:25] Hello, ever since I upgraded to 11.04, while doing django development I get the error that Mysqldb can not be found. There is some path problem. Can anyone give pointers on how should I solve this? [22:25] c4pt: ok, i'll look in to the eboard. thanks [22:25] sushi 11.4 sucks.i reinstalled 10.10 [22:26] omid: I know :( [22:26] dusf: If /media/dump refers to an external drive you might not be the owner of the folders on that drive even though you're the only user on the system. But just check to see if your idea works [22:26] sushi_: Do you know what path your app is trying to find?

I know it should try to find the Mysqldb or any other db interface for django in /home/sushi/Envs/theworldsrichest_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql_psycopg2/base.py" or something [22:28] vqxw: perhaps i should chmod +x /media/DUMP? === Guest76245 is now known as ward1234 [22:28] Ever since upgrading to 11.04, Ubuntu has been really unstable. It regularly crashes (the screen freezes and the caps-lock light starts blinking). What steps should i take to sove this problem? [22:28] sushi_: I guess what I mean is, what error are you getting? I can give you guidence on modifying your path variable, but won't do you much good if you don't know what needs to be added. [22:28] dusf: is it an external drive? [22:29] vqxw: internal :) [22:29] balevine: Thanks man, here's the error log http://dpaste.com/541350/ [22:30] vqxw: someone in winehq has told me it's not working because /media/DUMP is ntfs [22:30] aj00200: What your describing is a kernel panic.

[22:32] Now I got strange font problems. Sometimes some characters of some fonts are screwed. After every boot a different font and different characters are affected. For example: After one boot all "L" characters in LibreOffice standard font are screwed up, but only in font size 10. After a boot it may be a different character, font and/or different font size, for example small "e" of font size 9. [22:32] Any hints where to look at? I also tried with Ubuntu Classic, same error. Font problems occur within applications and sometimes also in the system dialogs. [22:32] MatthiasHamburg1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:37] In gnome, when i use alt+f2 shortcut for gnome-open, while im typing, it suggest for me the most obvious suggestion of application i can open [22:37] so - i have to ask - pointer as to what's likely wrong? or will i just go and check the drivers, etc [22:37] so if i type gnome-ter, it suggests gnome-terminal [22:38] How do I clear the list of recent files under files and folders in the Launcher? [22:38] unity can do this? [22:38] Librarat: What did you try? [22:38] chris___1, that i dont know i was just getting you to a usable session [22:38] fuho: Try gnome device manager. should be available in your package manager. [22:38] balevine: tahnks, will give that a try [22:39] perfect - will take it from there - thank you :) tata [22:39] MatthiasHamburg1: Well, I've tried using ssh-keygen as well as putty's keygen, tried using .ssh and .ssh2, authorized_keys and authorized_keys2, of course restarting the server after each change. And each time, I'm still getting key refused [22:39] Inetk, then i would remove x from the startup [22:40] AbTuX: do you know of a way to reinstall the latest kernel?

[22:41] balevine: It says Direct Rendering Manager Device, does it mean I dont have it? [22:41] can someone help me with cs 1.6 on ubuntu 11.04 /low fps ~20 [22:41] MatthiasHamburg1: the authorized_keys file were all in the .ssh and .ssh2 dirs, and yes, my perms were properly set. I am using openSSL SSH [22:41] Hi all [22:41] aj00200, I never reinstalled one , not sure about it.Still you can try installing same from source [22:41] Hello Susers [22:42] spankbot: yes [22:42] fuho: DRM - hmmm, not sure.

[22:42] ck [22:42] !ipod | c4pt [22:42] c4pt: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [22:42] iceroot thanks, I thought I did [22:43] jplacerda: ext4 [22:43] iceroot, yeah but i cant even mount it [22:43] iceroot, http://www.pastie.org/1890721 [22:43] iceroot: thanks :) [22:43] hey guys, is there any way to recover a directory that has been deleting using "rm -rf direcotry" ? [22:43] MatthiasHamburg1: Is there a good guide that you could recommend? All that I have found (I am using on my server, 11.04 btw) seem to be outdated, but with Linux, that's frequently not an issue :-\ [22:43] vqxw: you know you've asked me if it's internal or external 3 times now, right? :) [22:43] dusf: aww shift enter didn't make a line break... well here we go: 1) get the gid and uid of your current user (needed for later) in terminal: id $(whoami] [22:43] c4pt: i (luckily) dont have havestuff and so i dont know which fs it is using [22:44] balevine: Basically what I am trying to do is figure out if I have the latest drivers for Intel 4500HDM integrated VGA card, any clues? [22:44] iceroot, hfsplus [22:44] dusf: well i must have missed your reply then [22:44] vqxw: i think i'm going to just resize /home [22:45] dusf: well that's probably smart anyway [22:45] c4pt: sudo apt-get install hfsplus [22:45] iceroot, i have hfsplus installed. [22:45] Librarat: Sry, I have no guide at hand, use google... Create a file authorized_keys in /home/youruser/.ssh/ then put only one line in it with the public key. make sure you don't break it with line breaks [22:45] iceroot, ive tried to run fsck.hfsplus -f -y /dev/sdb2 doesnt seemt to help its reports no errors [22:46] MatthiasHamburg1: Thank you, I'll go back to it :-\ [22:46] Librarat: Line should look like "ssh-rsa AAAJsjljsjslsjsjsj....." [22:46] c4pt: and you are sure its sdb2? and not sdb1 or other things? [22:46] Librarat: (depending on your key type) [22:47] MatthiasHamburg1: Alright. How do I then use my private key (lets start in linux) to connect? [22:47] vqxw: ty for your help :) [22:47] c4pt: sudo fdisk -l is showing that sdb2 is the partition you want? [22:47] MatthiasHamburg1: ie: where do I put my private key in my linux install [22:47] iceroot, http://pastie.org/1890738 [22:47] anyone knows how to recover a deleted directory? [22:47] Librarat: Just to make sure, you have linux on both sides? [22:48] hey guys... burning an .iso... Is it as easy as running cp /dev/cdrom ~/foo.iso [22:48] oh hello [22:48] c4pt: i dont see sdb2 there [22:48] unity is bizzare [22:48] i see others saying you have to use dd? [22:48] gbear14275: use brasero [22:48] root_4: i concur [22:48] how do i get the bar to the bottom on the screen, like the osx ui you are obviously (illegally) knocking off [22:48] MatthiasHamburg1: Yes [22:48] iceroot, http://www.pastie.org/1890742 [22:48] illegally? [22:48] yeah, apple has patents and shit [22:48] you cant just go and clone their shit [22:48] root_4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:49] for some reason, when i run select-default-wordlist, i can only choose Catalan and "manual symlink". what package do i need to install to add English to that list? [22:49] put Ubuntu 10.04 on download, can't bear 11.04 [22:49] I would like to know how I can do a faster ping. I think this could be --> ping -c 1 -t 1 10.0.0.1. Can you think of another way to make it faster? [22:49] OK, then first add your key to the agent by using ssh-add [22:49] c4pt: hm very strange [22:49] Librarat: OK, then first add your key to the agent by using ssh-add [22:49] dusf, I'm on server [22:49] aj00200, you can check boot chart also , if you can find something from that. [22:49] gbear14275: sorry, can't help [22:49] root@VPCF1390X:~# lsmod | grep hfs [22:49] hfs 54731 0 [22:49] hfsplus 84797 0 [22:49] hi, I installed ubuntu 11.04 and it came with 2.6.38-8 kernel, my wireless card (Realtek RTL8188CE) doesn't work - strange I read on the forums that someone with the same card had it work when he upgrade to 11.04. Are there any special or newer kernels I need for this driver ? [22:49] ?? [22:49] anyone [22:49] Librarat: It will ask for your password and the key will stay unlocked in the agent until you log off. [22:49] :( [22:49] or should I instlal the driver from source manually [22:49] fuho: Sorry, no. [22:50] aj00200, or kern.log [22:50] how do i put the "dock" at the bottom of the screen [22:50] can anyone confirm that you can make an iso using the cp command? or have to use dd? or other? [22:50] MatthiasHamburg1: Do I need to add it to the agent each time, or will it just ask for my unlock pw when I try to connect at a later time? [22:50] c4pt: sorry [22:50] gbear14275: dd [22:50] I am having problems going into console mode, I am using the nvidia current driver. I have diagnosed that the issue is that there is no backlight on, as the terminal is working outside of the whole sight issue... Are there any fixes that anyone knows about? [22:51] root@VPCF1390X:~/Desktop# dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/home/c4pt/Desktop/ipod.iso [22:51] gbear14275, cp as the name suggests, is for copying stuff around. check 'man cp' for more details [22:51] AbTuX: ok, I'll look now. [22:51] blip-: he wants to create an iso and cp is wrong for that [22:52] i have a newbie question to answer, but a i couldn't find my answer with a quick search... all the startup process on boot used to be stored under /etc/rc2.d, where are they in 11.04? i'd like to stop cupsd from starting on boot [22:52] iceroot, yes obviously [22:52] aj00200, ya , as it is kernel panic only kern.log can give an idea what is going wrong. [22:52] can anyone confirm that latest desktop 32-bit kernel available for 11.04 ? Is it 2.6.38-8 ? [22:52] Librarat: The private key will stay unlocked in the agent until you log off. So you only need to enter your password once for each login session and connect to all servers your key has access to without entering password each time. This is the easiest method. You could also not use the agent and enter password on every connect. But trust me, for now, use the agent [22:53] blip-, yes [22:53] ah, i found it, "wamerican" === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [22:53] MatthiasHamburg1: Awesome, thank you for the help :) [22:53] AbTuX: can I grep for something specfic like "panic" or must I look through all of it? [22:53] netrat, if I install my wifi driver by compiling the native Linux driver from source and it works - could that cause problems in the future if I want to upgrade the kernel ? [22:54] aj00200, well sorry but not sure about this :( [22:54] from what i understand sometimes drivers become part of the kernel that ubuntu ships [22:54] Anyone have PAM authenticating both local accounts and remote accounts with kerberos [22:54] Hello, earlier today i explained my problem about natty that only gives a black screen i was adviced to install an older version and install natty, i tried that and still the same only a black screen what do i need to do, I installed natty on a older computer of a friend today as well and that one runs very good. My system specs are 3gb drr3 memory, Intel Celeron dual core 2,1gh, 320gb hdd, Intel 1,5gb dynamic video card [22:54] !anyone | FLeiXiuS [22:54] FLeiXiuS: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[22:54] blip-, that's beyond my area of expertise... just to be on the safe side i would reinstall after a new kernel [22:54] iceroot, That's my question...

[22:59] FLeiXiuS: hm, looks fine for me [22:59] Rickyboy107, sounds like something with graphics driver, I recommend you find out the exact model of your graphic card and search online for 'ubuntu 11.04 ' etc.. [22:59] FLeiXiuS: is the system try to authenticate local users against kerberos? /var/log/auth.log) [22:59] iceroot, As we both would expect it to...here's the log output from SSHD, pam_unix(sshd:auth): auth could not identify password for [USERNAME] [22:59] is there a program I can download for some eye candy on unity.

[23:00] Rickyboy107, [23:00] lspci in console [23:00] FLeiXiuS: but the user is in /etc/shadow? [23:00] iceroot, So it's using pam_unix, but the password cannot be identified? nsswitch reports compact files. [23:00] Rickyboy107, and look for something that looks like graphic card, usually has the words 'VGA' in it somewhere [23:00] iceroot, yep - shadow and passwd. [23:01] FLeiXiuS: it must be compat instead of compact [23:01] FLeiXiuS: and passwd /shadow should have "file" [23:02] can someone help me with the panel reset code [23:02] hello.. i made some minutes ago the updates for the ubuntu but when it asked me to restart when i tried to log in back the computer got stack at the boot screen. im running ubuntu "natty" [23:02] !resetpanel [23:02] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:02] iceroot, my apologies, it is compat.

I guess my next questions is, how do I go about disabling a password login all together?

[23:11] windparadise: chmod +x startup.sh [23:11] ok [23:11] dusf: you would have to create a script you can give arguments to, a wrapper that will accept a windows executable somewhere as arguments and starts wine on it with that file. [23:11] Is there a way to switch to classic mode from terminal? The login screen is garbled in X and I can't switch it there. [23:11] core_: in 10.10 i could download and open any .exe seemlessly... why is natty different? [23:11] histo: ctrl-alt-f1? [23:11] iceroot: the same thing [23:12] it's still nto running [23:12] core_: yeah I know that but what file to edit [23:12] hi, Im running Lucid on a desktop PC.. and I cant connect to the internet trought eth0... In network manager applets it shows both green light jut as I was connecting... but it keeps loading and then It disconnetcs... i was able to connect somedays ago.. I didnt touch anything but now im unable to get my connection work... [23:12] windparadise: ./starup.sh runs from within current dir [23:12] if photoshop from wine is a bad idea, is there any solution to the photoshop/linux problem? [23:12] dusf: probably because of the bindings of nautilus, the file manager, but i have no idea. [23:12] Librarat: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [23:12] core_: this is ridiculous [23:12] there must be a fix [23:12] histo: well a shell script executable [23:12] histo: you should focus on shell scripting. [23:12] Librarat: and set PasswordAuthentication no [23:13] thatguythere, does your backlight work within X [23:13] dusf: You must be happy natty even runs with you i only get a blackscreen and all sounds [23:13] histo: all you basically want to do is start the wine executable and give $1 to it. it's probably not hard to write. [23:13] core_: what? Has nothing to do with wine. [23:13] I am currently working on debugging a problem I am having. Does anyone here know how to uninstall and reinstall the latest kernel version? I think it is broken due to a system crash during the install. [23:13] Librarat: Then relaod ssh server with "/etc/init.d/ssh reload" [23:13] yes it does, but when I shift to tty 1-6 there is nothing, but the terminal is working as I can perform tasks blindly from it [23:13] Is there a way to switch to classic mode from terminal?

I am livid [23:42] LAcan: this machine is the one with the DNS problem, the one im on now, and checking the ifconfig etc at the same time [23:43] why would System -> About Ubuntu tell me I have Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal, when terminal tells me I have Maverick - 10.10 (which is what I'm pretty sure I have) ? [23:43] LAcan, and this one is the one with 11.04 [23:43] Kindari: gnome-system-monitor in a term [23:43] Darkenvy, you can only do that by changing your CPU because 32 cant handle 64 [23:43] mk44, i dont understand... ur connected to the internet and using DNS to be on IRC... there are multiple network cards? [23:43] when I log into my server it tells me 16 packages could be upgraded... but when I run apt-get update upgrade it says nothing to upgrade... anyway I can figure out what message is wrong? [23:43] I have a 64 bit processor [23:43] Darkenvy: I'm not sure if there is a way to upgrade to 64 bit. [23:43] I installed the wrong version [23:43] Darkenvy: What is the output of free -m ? [23:43] Darkenvy: you need to reinstall. there is no upgrade for 32bit to 64bit [23:43] Darkenvy, download the 64 bit version, also learn to read more carefully! [23:43] I dont care how dangerious it is..., I jsut ***** spent 36 hours doing this setup to get back to par [23:43] hi, I was trying to configure compiz after I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.04, and something went wrong, now I don't see any menu or anything, I tried ctrl+alt+delete, and restarted in recovery more [23:43] Darkenvy, Then just go to www.Ubuntu.com and download the 64 bit [23:44] JUST TO find out im on the wrong versino [23:44] Darkenvy: It's not that switching from 32 to 64 is dangerous. It's impossible [23:44] hi, I was trying to configure compiz after I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.04, and something went wrong, now I don't see any menu or anything, I tried ctrl+alt+delete, and restarted in recovery more, how should I reset to metacity [23:44] ugh ubuntu is really annoying me. Had a friend install it trying to convert him to nix. Can't figure out how to disable unity from the console since X is derped up right now. [23:44] you cant upgrade to 64 bit. it requires a reisntall. [23:44] it should simply be as little as changing the kernel [23:44] LAcan, no, im on my netbook, using the wifi on a machine with 11.04 which can connect to this IRC, but 99% of the time it times out when loading webpages because of a "DNS error" [23:44] bastidrazor, i barely can speak english, i did not find the Empathy folder. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:44] edbain, No it isnt when your procesoor is a 64 bit it doesnt make diffrence but it is possible [23:44] Anyone know what file to edit to disable unity? I can't even get to the login screen. [23:44] holywrit: look in ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs [23:45] Darkenvy: And all the 32 bit libraries [23:45] Darkenvy: false .. all your apps are compiled for 32 bit atm, it requires a reinstall. simply changing the kernel will break things even more. [23:45] Darkenvy: And all the apps that depend on those libraries [23:45] edbain, I have a 64 bits CPU my self, and i am running 32bit as well [23:45] well.... this answers why all my 64 bit apps crashes [23:45] bastidrazor, can't also find the Empathy folder [23:45] Darkenvy: haha [23:45] Darkenvy: yeah probably [23:45] holywrit: how are you trying to find it? [23:45] LAcan, no, im on my netbook, using the wifi on a machine with 11.04 which can connect to this IRC, but 99% of the time it times out when loading webpages because of a "DNS error" [23:45] bastidrazor, i have already found that path after Googling [23:45] Rickyboy107: Some people do :) [23:45] how u install crysis 2 [23:45] i already have wine install [23:46] bastidrazor, ls in terminal as a root [23:46] Darkenvy: Because 32 bits CANT handle 64 when you have a 32 bits Installed [23:46] I spent 36 hours post install of this install to prep this system.... [23:46] cd ~/.local/share/Empathy [23:46] now I lost those 36 hours and tis going to take another 36..... [23:46] mk44, hrmmmmm any othe rmachines on your network that work properly? [23:46] holywrit: ubuntu doesn't have the root account enabled. are you using ubuntu? [23:46] there si no other way [23:46] ? [23:46] Darkenvy: no offense but I do not think it is difficult or confusing to download 64bit Ubuntu [23:46] bastidrazor, yes. [23:46] Installing doesnt take that long :O [23:46] * LAcan nods at edbian [23:46] edbian, you are missing the point [23:47] LAcan, yeah there are like 4 other computers here running windows which are fine =( [23:47] I setup all my crons, apps and /homespace [23:47] my empathy cannot connect to my ekiga account. do people use this thing these days? [23:47] */home space [23:47] holywrit, bastidrazor, That path was for Gnome2 [23:47] Darkenvy: Then keep running 32 Bit it wont kill your pc [23:47] Darkenvy: Do you have a separate /home partition? [23:47] I do not [23:47] would it be wise to do this in future instances? [23:47] mk44, ok go to one of those and open up cmd.exe then type "ipconfig /all" see what the DNS is for those working machines [23:47] AbTuX, what do you mean? [23:47] how can I rpotect my homespace? [23:47] */home [23:48] Darkenvy: Yes. It would mean you could fresh install without erasing home [23:48] Darkenvy, back it up. [23:48] Darkenvy: put it on another partition. [23:48] startx is horribly messed up for me. The font for everything is incredibly small (12pt char monospace == 2x2 px), I fixed the system fonts (32-36pt), but every other application must be reading some default file that I haven't changed (yet). Any ideas? [23:48] Darkenvy: You could create a partition, copy your home onto it and then reinstall and tell thei nstaller to use that partition [23:48] would this crash anything? seeing that my apps saving configs to /home? [23:48] holywrit, log for empathy is no more at that location , atleast I am unable to find them [23:48] Darkenvy: The system is designed to have /home on another partition. It will hurt absolutely nothing [23:48] greetings. I have an old HDD taken out of my old acer aspire. it came with two ~30 partitions (vfat). I have it in an external USB caddy. when I plug it in the two partitions open in nautilus, but they appear to be empty. they are not empty. what's going on? [23:48] sup all :) [23:49] My /home is on this partition as well.... [23:49] AbTuX, shit, i have a bad logs conversations [23:49] does anybody have any idea why after update alsa got messed up ? [23:49] Darkenvy: There are tutorials on how to move from a single partition system to a 2 partition system ( / and /home ). You could follow one and then when you install 64 bit simply point it at /home . [23:49] I have a separate /home [23:49] why would System -> About Ubuntu tell me I have Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal, when terminal tells me I have Maverick - 10.10 (which is what I'm pretty sure I have) ? [23:49] i mean after i plug headphones alsa still uses speakres ? [23:49] Is there a way to increase workspaces in 11.04? [23:49] Darkenvy, tweak ubuntu also has an "export settings" feature u might like [23:49] MattEdward: I am fairly sure that is a known bug [23:49] !home | Darkenvy [23:49] Darkenvy: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [23:49] ?? [23:50] Hi, anyone knows a program to record Ubuntu's Desktop? [23:50] can you quit telling me pointless /home stuff? [23:50] MattEdward: Are you running unity? I think if you're on 11.04 it would be really obvious because of unity [23:50] ?? [23:50] you had to have the bot tell me what home is? [23:50] -_- [23:50] Darkenvy: It is not pointless. It's helpful for your reinstall [23:50] thanks guys [23:50] help with netflix ??? [23:50] im off to install linux [23:50] !screencast | xtbgod [23:50] xtbgod: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [23:50] xtbgod, recordmydesktop is my fav [23:51] Darkenvy: It's about the journey not the destination. :P [23:51] xtbgod: VLC can do that [23:51] (personally I jsut hate that bot, since its been in #ubuntu)(nothing against you) [23:51] can we not change the number of workspaces for expo etc? [23:51] Omen_20: You can. [23:51] how? [23:51] Omen_20: ccsm [23:51] Omen_20: Do you have ccsm ? [23:51] edbian, dunno what unity is - I'm new to linux - but I'm fairly certain I'm on v 10.10 as terminal tells me [23:51] yeah im digging around it right now [23:52] so I wrote a bash script that moves a rather lrge file over a slow network connection. does anyone know how I can get the script to open the gui 'moving file' dialogue that shows a progress meter? [23:52] Omen_20: general options -> desktop size [23:52] I usually do it from the panel applet but we don't have that with unity from what i can tell [23:52] after upgrading to 11.04, I tried to install compiz, now my desktop doesn't work any more, I can replace with metacity as I can't launch any xterm or console window, I can't start anything, I restarted in safemode, but I can't reset X to use metacity, and when I launch X (startx) I can't launch anything from within.... any ideas? [23:52] Omen_20: It's big :D [23:52] hi [23:52] pooltable, its not supported, either dual boot or run a vm [23:52] any ideas ? === SikEnCide is now known as SikEnCide-outy [23:52] what about wine ? [23:52] oh [23:52] MattEdward: Unity looks like this: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/img/2010/05/ubuntu-unity.png [23:53] escott what about wine ? [23:53] pooltable, it won't work. please see the netflix faq or the moonlight faq [23:53] thanks edbian i thought i remembered there being a spot for it, couldn't remember where [23:53] Omen_20: sure :) [23:53] hey there [23:53] game doesn't want [23:54] to installl [23:54] escott ok thanks [23:54] MattEdward: I swam with a guy named Matt Edwards in highschool. Here is Ubuntu 10.10 http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu1010beta-large_001.jpg [23:54] or play* [23:54] I'm thinking of switching off firefox. Sad to say, since Mozilla was what first introduced me to opensource (before firebird -- when there was just a mozilla suite) but it's getting to be a pain. Can anyone speak to whether chromium or chrome is the better choice? Does chromium send all the data to google that chrome does? [23:54] folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips? [23:55] craigbass1976: That is the biggest difference between chromium and chrome. Chromium does not send the data. [23:55] is visual styles saved in /home? [23:55] craigbass1976: check out opera [23:55] AbTuX, i found the path. [23:55] can i chmod +x an entire partition? say /media/DUMP ? [23:55] edbian, isn't opera one you pay for? [23:55] craigbass1976: It's free but it is not open source [23:55] holywrit, great. Share please [23:55] escott that sucks [23:55] is there an opensource skype alternative? other than googletalk [23:55] AbTuX, /home/c0d3r/.local/share/TpLogger/logs [23:55] AbTuX, /home/YOUR USERNAME/.local/share/TpLogger/logs [23:55] edbian, ahh. That'd be against my religion, sort of like going to Wal Mart... [23:56] escott i need more ram now [23:56] dusf: yes but generally it is not a good idea. chmod -R +x /media/DUMP [23:56] craigbass1976: :D Glad to hear [23:56] edbian: why would it not be a good idea? [23:56] is there a way to customize the ubuntu lock screen to show some picture or animation? [23:56] craigbass1976: There are a dozen in the repos [23:56] edbian: it's a partition just containing media [23:56] edbian, ya, I'm on 10.10 [23:56] dusf: Then it's fine [23:56] edbian, is moving a profile from one box to another as simple as it is in ff? [23:56] holywrit, there is no logic of having such a path , loosers :( === Wolf is now known as Guest6704 [23:56] edbian: ty [23:56] AbTuX, Yes, you are right. [23:57] dusf: It's just potentially dangerous because you're changing the permissions of ALOT of files. If it's all media it's fine === SikEnCide-outy is now known as SikEnCide-damnit [23:57] craigbass1976: In chrome? IDK [23:57] craigbass1976: firefox4 has sync and you don't even have to move your profile [23:57] ?? [23:57] dijonyummy123: You would need to enable screensaver. === SikEnCide-damnit is now known as SikEnCide-fual [23:57] edbian: media and documents, this is necessary after a new install on a separate partition? that is i have /home and / on different partitions, is this necessary for me to chmod /DUMP (media partition)? [23:57] kavurt look here http://www.gadgetcage.com/5-satisfactory-alternatives-for-skype/3773/ [23:57] craigbass1976: At the end of the day chrome saves things in a .chrome folder like everything else. You could just move that [23:58] edbian: installed with a new username and computer name [23:58] so I wrote a bash script that moves a rather lrge file over a slow network connection. does anyone know how I can get the script to open the gui 'moving file' dialogue that shows a progress meter? escott? [23:58] any ideas ? [23:58] edbian, but that probably doesnt work so well if you're trying to move off a box with a cooked hd... [23:58] another 11.04 question. I no longer see a spot for expo in keyboard shortcuts. Are we expected to use Super+ whatever number it is in quicklaunch? [23:58] edbian, sync I mean === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [23:58] dusf: I don't think chmod +x is going to solve your problem. Generally speaking you don't execute media files. You execute programs. What problem are you experiencing? === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [23:58] craigbass1976: Ha. Try to move anything off of a cooked hdd :) === MohammadAG is now known as MohammadAG_ [23:58] edbian: ahh it's mainly media, but i have firefox download things there [23:59] oops im dumb. That's in compiz also. [23:59] edbian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10803167#post10803167 [23:59] LAcan, do you need a gui, or a spinny with a percentage meter? [23:59] Omen_20: Yes it is :) [23:59] craigbass1976, either is fine [23:59] I'm so used to importing my compiz settings that I've forgotten where everything is. I was worried this time would screw with Unity. My bad. [23:59] OK, I have been having a lot of probs with Ubuntu and Skype as of late, My sound was Pulse audio, and for the past few weeks I have not been able to call a pots number and talk to anyone as my sound was broken up so badly that no one could understand a thing
