[00:00] LAcan, im not sure that is an independent widget, you would probably have to create one yourself. depending on what language your script is in there may be bindings for it [00:00] I removed Pulse audio and installed Alsa and now nothing wurks [00:00] dusf: You want way more than 15gb for /home and / [00:00] escott, craigbass1976 i just need some kind of progress metre... CLI is fine too === werkinsheir is now known as darkenvy [00:00] i tried -v but its not very verbose! [00:00] meheanuu is it for me ? [00:01] That is for anyone that might like to give this older than dirt Chief a hand [00:01] okay.... Unetbootin crashes X [00:01] dusf: 10 is recommended for / alone. /home takes as much stuff as you store. Generally this is the majority of your disc usage. All of your personal files are stored in /home. Music, movies, papers, everything [00:01] I do not have a CD drive to make a CD [00:01] LAcan, if you want a cli progress meter just echo -n "=" [00:01] dusf: There is not much to be gained from a separate /opt. Why do you want that separate? [00:01] how do i know i have the correct nvidia driver for my computer [00:02] edbian: my bad, that was the wrong link! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10803212#post10803212 [00:02] escott, i dont understand...? [00:02] nope seriously alsa was working yesterday [00:02] how can I make unetbootin not crash X? [00:02] and after update [00:02] edbian: /opt is separate so i can hang onto software i install without synaptic after a fresh install [00:02] it freaked out [00:02] dusf: Awesome :) You know the filesystem better than me I think! [00:02] I upgraded this machine to Ubuntu 11.04 and now when I shut it down, it appears to do so uncleanly; upon rebooting, the BIOS POST test thing says that the last boot failed. This only happens after shutting down; it doesn't happen if I restart the computer. When I boot up the machine (before I see the message), I see the boot screen twice (hence the "previous boot failed" message), but on the first attempt, it does not get past that. [00:02] pooltable: i asked opensource alternatives for skype. those are not even for linux. [00:02] LAcan, google for spinny in bash scripts. I know I've seen it before. There's such a thing as Greg's wiki too; google for that. bashfaq as well, that might be the same as greg's wiki. [00:02] edbian: i very much doubt that :) [00:02] dusf: Can you show me the output of ls -l /path/to/media [00:02] Anyone know of what might be causing the problem? [00:03] LAcan, so if this is a bash script right... and you have some way of determining your progress, then whenever the progress goes above n*10% echo -n "=" and it will print a "=" without a newline [00:03] toneshifter: i lose sound every upgrade because i have pulseaudio removed, and an upgrade reinstalls it, try sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and reboot - at your own risk [00:03] dusf: I can fix your problem [00:03] Anyone know how to kill the ubuntuone notification [00:04] dusf: I have to grab my laundry. I'll be right back. [00:04] I need to prep a USB for installation of ubuntu... Unetbootin crashes my X. how else can this be done? [00:04] how do i know i have the correct nvidia driver for my computer???? [00:04] edbian: http://pastebin.com/6P6BF7SB and nps [00:04] my ubuntuone notification has gone major haywire (keeps popping up every second) [00:04] dusf: got it. brb [00:04] escott, i think im unclear... I just need a porgress metret for the file move, not the entire script...? [00:04] :) [00:04] so remove pulseaudio should fix the problem ? [00:04] darkenvy: just dd the iso to the stick from cli [00:04] can motd be a script instead of a static text file? [00:04] I dont know what that means [00:04] dusf i mean i have sound the problem is after plugin headphones [00:05] hello [00:05] it still play sound from the speakers [00:05] Does anyone know what process handles the Desktop Notifications in gnome for UbuntuOne? Mine has gone haywire and keeps popping up [00:05] LAcan, run this in your terminal echo -n "|"; sleep 5; echo -n "="; sleep 5; echo -n "="; sleep 5; echo -n "="; echo -n "|" and see if it gives you what you want [00:05] toneshifter: are you sure the headphones are working? for me i need to run alsamixer and confirm that all channels are at 100% [00:05] this may help you... [00:05] yeap [00:05] bkerensa: which ones, the black rounded box up on the right? [00:05] yeah [00:06] it keeps popping up saying its uploading "null" [00:06] rhizmoe: Yeah ^ === kronos321 is now known as kronos42 [00:06] checked a few different headphones [00:06] turn off whatever is trying to upload. it's probably not ubuntu === kronos42 is now known as kronos321 [00:06] Its UbuntuOne [00:06] :P [00:06] escott, ya, but im not gonna be able to put an echo in betwen the mv command....? [00:07] velcroshooz, what is a cli? how do I use dd to move the iso onto it? [00:07] rhizmoe: I keep disconnect UbuntuOne but its trying to sync nothing [00:07] LAcan, unless your problem is that you don't know the progress from the "mv" command in which case its going to be difficult, because mv doesn't provide any progress information. you might try rsync, or see if there is another tool that you can use [00:07] LAcan: I think I know a solution for what you're trying to do [00:07] [00:07] [00:07] [00:07] kronos321: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:07] rhizmoe: I even rebooted and it starts again after boot but this is something new since my last update to natty [00:07] toneshifter: try 'alsamixer' in terminal - may or may not help you to confirm all channels are at maximum volume... [00:07] ubuntuone? is that the software center thing? [00:07] rhizmoe: If I can figure out what process it is then I can apport-bug [00:07] LAcan: You basically need two processes executing simultaneously, so you need a way of doing the mv and when the mv is done, have it write a file or something that your progress script looks for [00:08] * rhizmoe a little n00by on the ubuntu-specific stuff [00:08] dusf: Can you explain this to me? It looks like a windows 7 ntfs partition. What is the document and settings shortcut there? folder is this in Ubuntu? [00:08] rhizmoe: No UbuntuOne is the cloud syncing system [00:08] daaa [00:08] LAcan: So the progress script runs until the mv finishes. It won't tell you the progress of the move, just that it's working [00:08] rhizmoe: Automatically syncs documents [00:08] bkerensa: notification-area-applet i see on mine [00:08] bkerensa: right, i rmember now [00:08] k [00:08] * kronos321 testing [00:08] nsd_, no i dont think so... i just want to know what percentage of the current single file has been moved, similar to how the GUI does it [00:08] LAcan: Then you can't use mv for that [00:08] dotmac type thing [00:08] hmmm [00:08] k [00:08] yeah [00:08] as i said the sound is on [00:08] exactly [00:08] 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? [00:09] nsd_, well like... how does nautilus move stuff? can I call that command from the CLI? [00:09] thanks for the info Im gonna drop off apport the bug and stuff [00:09] bkerensa: also look at uone's settings to have it stop telling you stuff [00:09] Does anyone know how to dd an iso to a flash drive? [00:09] LAcan: That's end of story for mv; like escott said, rsync (iirc) does show the progress of a move. [00:09] alsa just do not switch output after the headphones jack is plugged [00:09] k [00:09] and still plays on the speakers [00:09] good luck [00:09] folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips? [00:09] LAcan: Nautilus probably does it very low-level to show you progress [00:09] Hi all ... any solution yet for the natty update and getting wireless disabled ? [00:09] LAcan: afaik there isn't a nautilus command, so to speak, that you could use; take a look at rsync though [00:10] edbian: this is on my DUMP partition which is ntfs, I have WIN 7 symlinking the users and program files dir to DUMP, the purpose was to have the windows partition at a fixed size, and when i install programs they go to DUMP [00:10] thanks for that, im looking it up now escott nsd_ [00:10] Anyone having issues with unclean shutdowns in 11.04 that might know what would cause it? [00:10] edbian: means i don't have to resize my Windows partitions [00:10] limited for space here [00:10] How do you move pinned apps in the unity bar? I want to change the order. [00:11] LAcan, your alternative is backgrounding mv, and running ls in a loop to determine the file size and calculating the progress [00:11] Omen_20, drag the icon out to the middle of the screen then drag it up and down [00:11] escott, nsd_ does rsync require a daemon running on the target machine...? cuz its a windows box [00:11] i need to restore my acpi tables [00:12] dusf: So this is ls -l /media/DUMP ? [00:12] LAcan: I have no experience with using rsync to a remote host, but I'm pretty sure that's one of its primary uses [00:12] LAcan, shouldn't if it is locally mounted [00:12] LAcan: for file you can use pv [00:13] LAcan: I think rsync will work through ssh and other mechanisms [00:13] qin, what is pv? [00:13] edbian: yes [00:13] LAcan: And this is it (also for file): http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ [00:13] when I try to play something using alsa it says the device is being used. how can i see which process is using it? [00:13] LAcan: From "man pv": pv - monitor the progress of data through a pipe [00:14] dusf: So your problem is with file placed in... ? [00:14] what a terrible abuse of tracing [00:14] Is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without touching my home directory? [00:14] wow qin these are great links! [00:14] !home [00:14] 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 [00:14] LAcan qin: That's quite a clever hack [00:15] danslo: /media/DUMP/downloads [00:15] edbian: thanks, looking [00:15] aj00200: Follow those instruction to put it on a separate partition (assuming it isn't already) [00:15] edbian even === holywrit is now known as troll [00:15] dusf: even?? [00:15] edbian: but the problem is that even when the file is downloaded to ~/Downloads i have to chmod +x filename.exe it manually [00:15] aj00200, i heard someone say there is an option to preserve the home directory during an install. i'm not sure if it is true though === troll is now known as troller [00:15] edbian: i sais danslo's name instead of yours [00:15] pleae read above [00:15] nsd_: the site is awesome too ;) neat! [00:16] HI [00:16] I have a RTL8101E/RTL8102E Realtek wireless that was disabled by the update. [00:16] when i chmod +x filename.exe in /media/DUMP/Downloads it still won't open, in ~/Downloads if i do the same it will let me open it, but even at that i shouldn't have to do this everytime i want to open a .exe [00:16] can anyone tell me how to repair my acpi [00:16] qin, i think im gonna go with pv.. little confused though... [00:16] edbian [00:16] escott: thanks. I'll look for that first then [00:17] dusf: Ahh, we have to change the umask of the file. [00:17] is there any document that explains how to "batch" or "script" the various configurations (e.g. direct file modification by a script) that need to be applied to a fresh new installation of Ubuntu ... so I can avoid having to do all those things manually? [00:17] aj00200, just remember -- "always make backups" [00:17] how do i change my name without restarting the chat? [00:18] escott: well, I don't have much important stuff. Everything I *need* is on github or launchpad. The rest is just reinstalling a bunch of programs and recustomising to some extent [00:18] edbian: go on === walllable is now known as PSPman123 [00:18] Skaperen: you can modify files using bash, i'd ask in #bash for help :) [00:18] dusf: I was reading :) [00:19] edbian: if relevant i did my fresh install with a different username and computer name than i had when i would have been using /media/DUMP/ previously... [00:19] I am having trouble loading a ICC profile that I want my monitor to use.. Anyone knows how? I've already used xcalib and gnome-color-manger with no luck... [00:19] Skaperen, i think there is a tool (primarily oriented at companies like dell) to create ubuntu install media from a configured system [00:19] dusf: I think you have to set the umask for the Downloads folder to 013 [00:19] i don't see why this would cause me problems with the file when it's downloaded to my /home partition though - downloaded from mirc.co.uk [00:19] dusf: like this umask 013 /path/to/Downloads [00:19] ActionParsnip: I seriously doubt #bash people know which files to find all these things in ... oh, FYI, I am an experienced bash coder, and have even written a chapter in a sysadmin book on how to code in bash [00:20] dusf: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html umask is what decides what permissions things get when they're created [00:20] Ok. This is gonna sound really noobish but how do you set a program to run at start up in 11.04? [00:20] dusf: Each folder has a umask which determines the permissions of things created inside that folder [00:20] qin, im a little confused as to pv's use.. do I just pipe the mv to pv ie: pv | mv filename destination ? [00:20] Crazed_Persona: System -> Admin -> Startup === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [00:20] Crazed_Persona: sorry, system preferences -> startup app [00:20] edbian: done, testing [00:20] ActionParsnip: the issue is about finding which files need to be changed, and their syntax if a man page doesn't tell it, for each of the GUI config settings [00:20] LAcan: cat src_file | pv [options?] > dest_file (not very fast or very precise), also cp (not in ubuntu) have --prog or -g option (maybe own build?) [00:20] Skaperen: no but they can tell you how to use sed and such to modify what you need [00:21] I know that. Where are the programs located to add to there? [00:21] dusf: But warned. Downloading things not from the repos and running them on linux is the best way to get a virus [00:21] Crazed_Persona: mostly /usr/bin [00:21] Crazed_Persona: press the super key (windows key) and search for startup [00:21] ActionParsnip: I can assure you I know about bash, sed, awk, and many other tools of the trade ... what I'm looking for is Ubuntu specifics [00:21] Skaperen: you will need to MD5 test the files, make a change then MD5 test again to see which have changed [00:21] i have a desktop connected to a router/modem via ethernet, and a lappie that connects to the same router/modem wireless. i want to share hard drives between the two what 2 i need 2 do? [00:21] Crazed_Persona: But if you can type the name of the program at the terminal you can type that name in the startup apps gui box thingy [00:22] qin, why cat tho? could I do a "mv source | pv > target? [00:22] edbian: it's only really windows programs [00:22] ActionParsnip: tried that ... usually a few hundred files change by just having been even looking at the GUI [00:22] I know the name of the program how it is displayed. [00:22] dusf: Why are you running windows programs in Ubuntu? [00:22] What are you talking about? [00:22] ActionParsnip: hence this is why I am looking for a document [00:22] edbian: i had thought there were only ever 2/3 viruses in history on linux [00:22] edbian: i want to install WoW, mirc is just a small program with an installer for testing [00:22] dusf: There are hundreds of them but they are proof of concept. Their are none in the wild. They require you to do things like download them and explicitly run them [00:22] ActionParsnip: for example, which file to change, and how, to disable automounting [00:23] edbian: same error The file '/home/dusf/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. [00:23] dusf: Are you using wine or something? [00:23] Skaperen: i see, if you change a text value, grep for the before and after and you can see what's what. Most stuff hides in gconf [00:23] i made the startup thing make google chrome startup on boot-up, because i usually use the internet on this every day. [00:23] LAcan, you can't move the file into a pipe, move expects two arguments. cat sends it to standard out which gets piped and then redirected to a file. [00:23] Is there a way to get rid of the email icon and empathy menu at the top right in Ubuntu? [00:23] edbian: i am trying to open .exe with WINE program loader [00:23] dusf: It only changes the permissions of files created in that folder [00:23] it works when i open it with the wine command from terminal [00:23] dusf: you needto mark the file executable [00:23] edbian: what about files downloaded to that folder [00:23] ActionParsnip: that is not working [00:23] Hi [00:23] Skaperen, what exactly do you want to accomplish. do you want to master your own install media, or do you want to vcs the system? [00:23] dusf: That's because you have permission to execute wine (which is in /usr/bin) [00:23] escott, thatll work for binaries as well? no crazy slowdown or anything...? [00:23] ActionParsnip: so these files are not documented? [00:23] ActionParsnip: through the GUI, i don't have the option [00:24] dusf: Files downloaded into that folder should get rwxrw--- [00:24] crysis 2 [00:24] dont play [00:24] dusf: You know that you can chmod +x that file right? [00:24] LAcan, its slower, but pipes are pretty fast. the biggest concern would be sparse files would get blown up [00:24] edbian: i just redownloaded ti, didn't work [00:24] anybody?? [00:24] dusf: What permissions does it have? [00:24] Skaperen: i'm not aware of them personally. They will be heavily documented due to the nature of the OS [00:24] dusf: you do [00:24] edbian: yes, but that will only work when i chmod +x the file when downloaded to ~/Downloads not when i chmod +x it when downloaded to /media/DUMP/Downloads [00:24] ActionParsnip: i use thunar file manager, and do not [00:25] dusf: then use CLI [00:25] If anyone can help me I will give the teamviewer code and you can come do it yourself. [00:25] dusf: chmod +x filename.exe [00:25] escott: I want to construct a set of scripts (numbered to run in the right order) which I can load in after the install, which will make all the changes ... I know how to make changes to text files in bash or binary files in C ... I just need to know which, and semantics if the settings are coded, such as numbers [00:25] dusf: You mean you can't chmod +x things in /media/DUMP/Downloads ? [00:25] ActionParsnip: He just explained how that isn't working. [00:25] ActionParsnip: http://oi56.tinypic.com/2ni5t9f.jpg [00:25] Skaperen, but why have you decided upon scripts. thats really what I am asking. what about scripts do you like? [00:26] edbian: i can, but it makes no difference [00:26] ActionParsnip: in 10.10 this was not required, there must be some reason i have to in 11.04 [00:26] dusf: Is /media/DUMP/Downloads on NTFS ? [00:26] escott: if they have a way to make these changes at the install ISO mastering stage, that might also work ... but it still needs to be script based because the scripts will be making decisions (e.g. not each machine will be alike) [00:26] /media/DUMP is ntfs [00:26] ~/Downloads is ext4 [00:26] i have to eat [00:26] back soon [00:26] dusf: Change the permissions for NTFS files / folders in windows [00:26] dusf: That is the issue [00:26] escott: that would mean each machine has to have its own individual ISO to install from if I configure that way [00:27] dusf: cya [00:27] dusf: what is the output of: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; lsb_release -a | pastebinit [00:27] Skaperen, there is a company that makes a "git for the entire system" trying to find the name === bLuCiFeR is now known as blu [00:27] oh this pv is pretty sexy [00:27] Skaperen, they are oriented at exactly this use case, where you vcs the entire os, and then patch your changes into it [00:27] Anyone know of a program that will generate a basic user-friendly terminal menu (like selecting a set of options)? [00:27] escott: I don't know what you mean by that. I know what git is, but I don't understand how you're applying it for this case [00:28] Skaperen, if i can find their website ill send it to you [00:28] escott: what does "vcs the entire os" mean? [00:28] Does debian's packaging follow the same 'no major release software upgrades' rule as ubuntu? [00:29] kenneth_reitz: ask in #debian [00:29] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:29] escott: if the changes are not done by my scripts, it will be hard to do because the changes will be different ... i.e. if they provide a GUI toolkit to make the changes, it won't gain me anything because I'd still have to manually configure each machine (it would only change the order of steps to do it all) [00:30] Skaperen: you could configure the GUI etc, then archive the setting folders, then just restore and chown [00:31] ActionParsnip: but then I have to do that "configure the GUI" all over again for the next machine ... the objective of the scripts is to make it so I don't have to do these GUI steps (which are different for each machine) [00:31] Skaperen, tweak ubuntu [00:31] ActionParsnip: I can make the scripts smart ... I have done so for stuff like the apache configs, for example [00:31] I found MaxMenu, but it would be great if I could find something in the repos [00:31] Skaperen: makes sense, could ask in #gnome perhaps [00:32] Skaperen, look at Conary and or Foresight Linux. I believe it is designed in such a way that you could layer it on top of apt [00:32] LAcan: requires a knowledge base I don't have ... e.g. which files hold which config states [00:32] Is there something like esword for Ubuntu? [00:32] ActionParsnip: most of this is for server edition, so gnome isn't even there [00:32] Skaperen, otherwise if all the changes you need to make are in /etc you could use something like etc-keeper to construct patches and then apply them [00:33] escott: a lot might be, but maybe not all ... once I have the documentation I seek, that should tell me if so [00:34] escott: this all seems to beg for a new wiki dedicated for people to contribute their findings for how to script up (e.g. avoid GUI) various config changes === rcmaehl_fallback is now known as rcmaehl [00:34] Skaperen, this lwn article may explain conary a bit better than their website http://lwn.net/Articles/411962/ [00:34] escott: OK, will look [00:34] I'm sort of a newbie running ubuntu 11 fresh install I can't access shared drives on my windows network, can anyone help me do that?>>>I have tried the help files with no effect. I *think* samba is running and smb but I don't see it in "processes" [00:34] LOL!!! @ the name gnubie [00:36] porter1, most of the time this is done with curses, I don't know how high-level it is though [00:36] !curses [00:36] escott: looks like an alternate package manager ... but does it know how to change files, based on being called from a script with the info? [00:37] any grub gurus here? [00:37] #debian-pl [00:37] I am trying to get grub to pickup the grub.conf - but its missing it for some reason [00:37] escott: here's an example that does involve Gnome or KDE depending on which desktop you have ... make a command line script that when given the path to an image file, will set the login screen background image to that [00:37] can someone help me usb tether with android [00:37] Skaperen, the company positions itself as a "you run redhat, suse, ubuntu on your network... our product will allow you to isolate the changes needed for a particular purpose of your server (this is the smtp server, this is the web server, this is the...) and roll it out wherever you want" [00:38] Skaperen, it may be overkill for what you want [00:38] Can someone help me set up Alsa, I removed Pulse Audio and installed Alsa but now I have nothing [00:38] escott: but it scares me that it may be yet-another-webadmin (but maybe not web based) thing, which has a narrow set of concepts that it can work with [00:39] im in trouble with my usb stick... i tried installing ubuntu to it yesterday... from the same drive ,different partition, it paused for a very long time after complaining i didnt unmount it... and now it doesnt work at all, ive tried eeverything i can think of, including a low level format, and every command i can think of that should unscrew it, but it just doesnt work, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdd for instance , nooo luck, i cant format [00:39] it, mount it, write to it, write an mbr or anything anymore. all i get is this :[ 663.961405] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [ 663.961422] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] <> ASC=0xff ASCQ=0xffASC=0xff <> ASCQ=0xff [ 694.160581] usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [ 709.272073] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 etc etc, [ 939.872587] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB [00:39] device on port 1 [00:39] bike: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === jamiep is now known as zeroelixis [00:39] Skaperen, and i think the conary approach would be "change the background through the gui" then use conary to identify what was changed on the system, and turn that into a "patch" which you can bundle with other patches to make your "distribution" [00:39] escott: if it isn't command line based, it will be too awkward to use (because the decisions will be made by my scripts) [00:39] maheanuu go to terminal and type alsa load or something like that... [00:39] I don't remember for sure [00:40] What's that audio program that you can use in the terminal and it comes with Ubuntu and starts with a? I forgot what It's called and I need to use it. :C [00:40] maybe alsa reload or alsa force-reload? [00:40] Skaperen, the gdm example is a great one because I have no earthly idea where the gdm config would be stored [00:40] Vustom: alsa? [00:41] Skaperen; thanks! [00:41] .. [00:41] What's the full name of it? [00:41] Skaperen, but it would probably involve dropping some files in /usr/share, and editing a file in /etc [00:41] I typed it into terminal and it didn't work. :C [00:41] Vustom, just type alsa[TAB] for completion [00:41] o.o? [00:41] escott: that's one of the things I did manage to find and get it scripted ... but there are probably hundreds more ... it could take me 3-4 months to figure it all out doing it the way I did that [00:42] alsa [00:42] escott: which I why I wanted to cheat and find a document [00:42] vustom@Vustom-Ubuntu:~$ alsa Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} [00:42] grindel [00:42] oops [00:42] Skaperen, there is a mastering application in synaptic for mastering your own install media, it might help [00:43] I have upgraded java6 from u22 to u24, I get this issue http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606323/ I am on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. Any Clue ? [00:43] Vustom, you probable want alsamixer, but just type alsa[TAB] to see your options [00:43] do all panics not sync? [00:43] escott: what can be complicated is in many cases, various options that are seen as a menu of choices in a GUI are stored in the files as one of a few different numeric values, which no clue as to what those numbers mean short of digging into source code ... and this isn't a scalable activity for so many things to do [00:43] how would u update your nvidia [00:43] craphics card [00:43] SG should I use a sudo in front of that? [00:43] ? [00:44] escott: and in other cases there may be words, but still not always clear what to use ... one has to try all the various choices at the GUI tool and see how they change in the file === vDubG is now known as Silly_Wabbit [00:45] escott: here's one for you ... if you run adduser to add a user, it might NOT even show up at all in the GUI user/groups tool [00:45] Sir Gabriel, so far no joy [00:45] i cant install ubuntu.. it says upgrade bios or use forced=something.. [00:45] does anyone use the Awn dock [00:45] a [00:45] tbruff13: many do, yes [00:45] My pc is mad at me. When I try to transfer "certain important and very private personal files" to my new hdd I get invalid argument while all other files copy without error. What could be causing the error? [00:46] walter: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:46] I'm sort of a newbie running ubuntu 11 fresh install I can't access shared drives on my windows network, can anyone help me do that?>>>I have tried the help files with no effect. I *think* samba is running and smb but I don't see it in "processes" >>>ideas, anyone?? Is there a way to access a network share through terminal? [00:46] codex84 system > admin> hardware drivers [00:46] grindel: is the windows system, windows 7 per chance? [00:46] escott,ActionParsnip: I guess I'll just keep chugging along at it the old way ... was just hoping someone had documented it ... I'll try to document the things I do find [00:46] ActionParsnip: nope..cause i already used the cd in other pc's and it goes without error [00:46] walter: does the RAM test OK? [00:47] ok I wanted to add an extender to make it split applets up system applets on one side and windows on the other but when i click on someting an icon pops up on both sides of the extender is their any way i can fix this or any other dock i can use that has this function [00:47] rcmaehl: Give failing command and ls -l very/important/files (paste.ubuntu.com for multiline paste) [00:47] Skaperen, yeah im not aware of any single consolidated source of documentation. its all buried in man pages and application websites [00:47] ActionParsnip: i didnt actually do the ram test cause it doesnt appear :) [00:47] ActionParsnip: I'll call the document "auto-pimping your ubuntu" or something like that [00:48] qin: Invalid argument is failing command and the pastebin wouldn't be very SFW [00:48] walter: it doesn't by default, when you see the keyboard + stickman screen, press SPACE. You can also test the CD for defects there as well [00:48] qin, i don't think rcmaehl wants us to see the names of those "private and personal files" [00:48] ActionParsnip: a lot of it is adding on packages ... and that part is easy [00:48] no, actionparsnip, it is a mixed network, with an xp machin, vista, and win7 machine accessing it, but also a MYbook network drive, which is really my goal to access [00:48] didn't they try that with automatix? [00:48] hi linux people [00:48] escott <- what he said [00:48] Why Ubuntu 11.04 is TRYING to IMITATE to MACOS?

[00:49] escott: Yeah, it helps [00:49] qin: yes drag and drop [00:49] can some help with downloading flash videos [00:49] walter: old is moot, as long as the ram is healthy it will be fine [00:49] although I could do cp [00:49] wait [00:49] any app for ext3 data recovery pls? [00:49] jahman: you can use extensions / addons to do that [00:49] you can't cp in terminal from a windows share [00:49] !recover | hoho` [00:49] hoho`: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:50] thanks [00:50] rcmaehl, check the permissions to see that you have the right to read those files [00:50] hoho`: your backups will do a better job [00:50] ActionParsnip: i have sempron 3000+ 64bit enabled 512 ram and 256 vga [00:50] BTW ... I just tried 11.04 for the very first time today ... but I couldn't find where to do the system settings ... so I got frustrated and went to just shut it down ... then d'oh! there it was in the shutdown menu [00:50] i erased the partition by mistake [00:50] rcmaehl: ls -l /files/you/do/not/want/to/show to conform that you own them, cp /that/files /new/dest/of/that/files [00:50] do flash videos stay in your cache? maybe copy and paste from there?

[00:51] rcmaehl: Oh, windows shares... No clue than (using usb stick would solve problem) [00:52] also, i have the problem on the ext4 partition too [00:52] I need to get my sound to go through the Line-in port in my pc.. [00:52] LjL, cool never heard of testdisk [00:52] ok I wanted to add an extender to make it split applets up system applets on one side and windows on the other but when i click on someting an icon pops up on both sides of the extender is their any way i can fix this or any other dock i can use that has this function can any one help me with this [00:52] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/VjYMww8Y [00:52] why would init exit?

[00:52] I was able to do it before but can't remember how I did it, I'm using my Xbox and the sound goes thru my Xbox and into my pc, then out into my headphones.. [00:52] dusf: The actual .exe that is giving you trouble [00:53] ActionParsnip: i see.. btw i recieved help from yesterday(philippine time) from Dr_Willis...he said something like nomod something [00:53] qin: well it's a windows share on ubuntu [00:53] kermit: maybe it could not find something it needed? [00:53] qin: the regular ubuntu share method was screwed up (I'm still figuring out why) [00:53] rcmaehl, make sure there aren't any strange characters in the filenames [00:53] walter: let me see what that is [00:54] kk [00:54] edbian: i have the problem slightly different in both places [00:54] rcmaehl, are you copying from ntfs to ext4 or the other way around [00:54] escott: ext4 to ext4 [00:54] dusf: What is the difference? Can you show me ls -l on one of the files please? [00:54] hello does any one know a way to fix this or a dock besides awn that can do this [00:54] hates nt fs [00:54] edbian: when i chmod +x /Downloads/filename.exe i can then open it but this is not a solution as i shouldn't have to chmod all the time, when i chmod +x on /media/DUMP/filename.exe i still can't open it [00:55] I need some help for borders on all my windows, problem is in metacity! i done "metacity --replace" and it works only for that sasion, on the next log-in it gets back beeing without borders... HELP anyone? [00:55] tbfyrr13 fix what exactly? [00:55] dusf: Yes. I know. Please show me ls -l /media/DUMP/filename.exe [00:55] nevermind [00:55] rcmaehl: You should be able to copy with sudo, chown after. [00:55] rcmaehl, we really need to see ls -l on the files and source and destination folder. just edit the filenames and paste it to us [00:56] ActionParsnip: its one of the opts in the f6 menu on the stickman screen [00:56] edbian: http://pastebin.com/Wj1RUiwh [00:56] dusf: Thanks [00:56] qin escott nvm I zipped the files and moved them over. [00:56] dusf, /media/DUMP may be mounted as noexec [00:56] I need some help regarding metacity, cant get it to work [00:56] any help? [00:57] any grub gurus here? [00:57] dusf: And if you run chmod +x /media/DUMP/Downloads/mirc719.exe you get an error? [00:57] !grub [00:57] 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) [00:57] Igor_Elez, do you have graphical effects enabled (like shadows and wobbly windows etc) [00:57] i will see that now [00:58] edbian: no response, it just doesn't make any difference, i still can't open it [00:58] dusf: did the output of ls -l change? [00:58] but when i chmod +x ~/Downloads it does make a difference, and i can output it [00:59] dusf, check "mount" and see if /media/DUMP is mounted noexec [00:59] I can't seem to hear anything with Analog Line-in? [00:59] does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the awn dock [00:59] When I'm in PulseAudio I can see the music bar moving so it's making sound, I just can't hear it? [00:59] Skaperen: yeah except this is while its already bene running a while [00:59] dusf: I'm thinking it's due to the underlying FS. ~/Downloads is ext and the other is ntfs. I think maybe the owner name / number is different on linux and windows so the permissions are getting messed up [00:59] Igor_Elez, if you do then you have compiz not metacity, and your problem is with compiz [00:59] edbian: http://pastebin.com/Yw4Urggv [00:59] checking in again for the query ? [01:00] edbian: many of the folders i created on /DUMP i did prior to my last install, i had a different username [01:00] anyone know any good alternative to something like chef? [01:00] http://fun.drno.de/flash/unknown.swf [01:00] how do I add another panel on another monitor? [01:01] dusf: what is this most recent pastebin? df?

[01:02] edbian: mount [01:02] escott I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my netbook, yesterday I enabled "Normal" visual effects in "Appearance menu. but upon new boot it went back to "None"... is the problem in that? and can I get it working again? [01:02] hello. is it possible with the alternative installer to install ubuntu on an already existing encrypted lvm? [01:02] the last time i tried something like that made the installer break my encrypted partition [01:03] ok.. wtf... When I do 'drush features' it says that one of my features is in an 'overriden' state.. but when I run 'drush feature [feature name]' I get 'Feature is in its default state. No diff needed.' What gives?? [01:03] Hey everyone, I've got a quick question for anyone who's seen anything. I've been told that Unity will be the ONLY option in 11.11 and that we won't be able to install any other desktop. True? False? Rumor? [01:03] Igor_Elez, compiz won't run on some hardware (that isn't powerful enough), and then you have to drop back to metacity which looks the same but has no effects. if compiz is not working properly on your hardware (and it probably isn't on a netbook) I would disable all effects, and then see if metacity comes back. if metacity doesn't come back then start metacity with metacity --replace and add it as a startup program in gnome-session-pr [01:03] operties [01:04] dusf: ok. Can you show me ls -nl /media/DUMP/whatever/file.exe ? [01:04] Same thing w/ 'drush fr'... wtf?!? [01:04] Arg.. soooo ofrustrating.. [01:04] IM running 11.04 server 64bit edition I am trying to install a pci modem but wvdial cant detect it and it isnt working through minicom either [01:04] escott thanks, will try now [01:06] when i plug my iphone in dbus-daemon shoots up to 50+% [01:06] in system monitor [01:06] I just upgraded to 11.04 on my netbook, and its networking has become completely hosed. It gets an IP address, but when I try to ping anything outside of my subnet, I get "network unreachable" [01:06] How would I get the ubuntu software center on a computer with out it? [01:06] but in the ubuntu line [01:07] It can't do DNS resolution, resolv.conf is always empty [01:07] oops.. .wrong chan... der.... [01:07] <|||||||||> :/ [01:07] Overlord, try 'sudo apt-get install software-center' [01:07] apt-get install ubuntu software center? [01:07] ok :P thx [01:08] Overlord, package names cannot contain spaces [01:08] Can someone help me get the sound to work with Line-in? [01:08] Overlord, thhats a question i have never heard of,, and a good one [01:08] overlord, when in doubt, search for it in synaptic package manager [01:08] does anyone know why dbus-daemon shoots up to 50+% when i plug in my iphone? [01:08] Overlord: sudo apt-get install software-center [01:09] hah. you guys are all too late. [01:09] darn [01:09] Also, I have an old IBM comp with an external wifi card. How would I go in getting the WIFI card to run on it with a ubuntu type load installed? [01:10] Overlord, by external do you mean USB? [01:10] no, external as in card bus [01:10] I was just wondering, how well does Ubuntu run on ARM? [01:10] specifically a D-link card [01:11] D-link DWL-G630 [01:11] CajunTechie, Unty is just a box you check n compizConfig Settings Manager that 11.11 keeps reconfiguring for you if you have Unity. You can remove Unity and just go with Compiz. [01:11] D-Link DWL-G630 ? [01:12] Thanks W30. Makes me feel much better [01:12] That's the card bus wifi card i have [01:12] I was considering dual booting ubuntu onto my windows laptop since I want to hold onto my windows install, but came across wubi, does it have the full functionality of an ubuntu install? [01:12] escott thank you so much, it worked perfectly... I done "sudo metacity --replace" and because it was "none" already selected, i gone to "normal" and then back to "none" effects, on the next boot it worked perfectly :) [01:12] thanks again :) [01:12] anyone have an idea why smbtree errors out when trying to access network shares with the following? cli_start_connection: failed to connect to BLAH2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL [01:13] MattEdward: Yes. But wubi sometimes makes fixing things more complicated because it is a bit of a hack. [01:13] WUBI is the name of the install, ME. It loads aside from windows if you boot the install inside of windows itself. [01:14] Overlord: what? [01:14] Overlord, i could be wrong, but i believe you need this driver http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 [01:14] CajunTechie, check this web link:http://jbrouhard.com/?p=29 [01:14] thanks :D [01:14] Overlord, the one marked RT2501PCI/mPCI/CB(RT61:RT2561/RT2561S/RT2661) [01:14] Why are HD videos so laggy while their audio isn't? [01:15] rcmaehl, that's incredibly vague [01:15] rcmaehl> on Youtube? [01:15] ChronicSyncope zerwas everywere but dragon player which is from kde [01:15] rcmaehl: What palver, mplayer, vlc? Likely not enough video memory, try to scale down, or framedrop [01:15] Why can't I get Line-in to work? :C [01:16] I was considering using photoshop through wine, but I have a feeling it'll be slow on my laptop, so instead of a dual boot--where I'd have to go back and forth between nix and win--Im thinking wubi would be the best way to go, dunno [01:16] qin: everywhere but dragon player which is from kde [01:16] Sorry to be annoying and ask again, but how well does Ubuntu run on ARM? [01:16] I've turned up everything in alsamixer, and in PulseAudio the sound bar moves when I press a button, but I hear nothing.. [01:16] FreezingCold: arm7 or arm9 [01:16] do you ppl believe that Ubuntu will have 200 million users in next 4 years? :) that would be gr8 [01:16] FreezingCold, personally I dont known sorry guy [01:16] That RALINK will run the D-link card for me? [01:17] rcmaehl: ARM7, snapdragon [01:17] Igor_Elez: It does not have already? [01:17] !arm [01:17] ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [01:17] Igor_Elez: Where did you get that stat from? [01:17] MattEdward, you may also consider gimp (heresy I know) or !VirtualBox [01:17] FreezingCold: it runs okay depending on the device specs [01:17] what's the channel for ubuntu gamers? [01:18] MattEdward: wubi does not allow you to run Ubuntu while inside windows. It only allows you to install Ubuntu inside windows. [01:18] !games [01:18] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [01:18] Igor_Elez: I may be vrong, but Amazon runs on Ubuntu (which would make 200mil easy). [01:18] #ubuntu-games ?? [01:18] MattEdward: The only way to run one OS inside another is virtual machines [01:18] rcmaehl: I'm thinking of trying to make my own device... [01:18] FreezingCold: O_O [01:18] So I'd be picking the specs [01:18] coz_: no only 3 people in ther [01:19] Igor_Elez here, so Mark Shuttleworth delivers UDS keynote; sets goal for 200 million Ubuntu users in 4 years [01:19] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=14374 [01:19] lol [01:19] so, do you ppl believe that Ubuntu will have 200 million users in next 4 years? :) [01:19] Linux is great, but beating Windows is going to take awhile [01:19] Nope [01:20] FreezingCold: why does it have to 'beat' it? [01:20] I mean by market share [01:20] FreezingCold: but why? [01:20] Who cares if it ever does [01:20] FreezingCold, ubuntu will never take over windows cause there aren't enuf smart people in the world to take it up [01:20] FreezingCold: your wrong, the majority of people want a browser, office, that's it. For the majority of people Ubuntu is better for 2 reasons, 1 it's faster at achieving those goals, 2 it's virus free. [01:20] people are slowly starting to realize this :) [01:20] jamiewan_: remember the old win 3.1 days? === fish__ is now known as RGRFish [01:20] it would have more users than windows if they started selling computers pre installed with it at like best buy [01:20] Azelphur: You're totally right, but people are still not changing over [01:20] Linux in some form (probably powered by cell phones, android is a strong candidate) will take over the world before too long :P [01:21] ActionParsnip, trying to forget [01:21] jamiewan_: messing with config.sys to free up more upper memory [01:21] ubuntu license fees are too high [01:21] jamiewan_: that sort of thing.. [01:21] Azelphur exactly [01:21] yep [01:21] and Games are moving to consoles [01:21] FreezingCold: yea, they don't need to, just like the netbook replaced the laptop, the phone will replace the netbook. [01:21] Azelphur, Dell sells preinstalled Ubuntu systems [01:21] Azelphur, I have not seen them at best buy yet! [01:21] coz_: I know, that's largely irrelevant for large scale though [01:21] except of WoW and similar xD [01:21] ActionParsnip: have you seen it? [01:21] Ubuntu's licensing fees are on par with Windows [01:21] jamiewan_: then things got better and abstracted, and now theres Win7 or whatever it is now.. [01:21] Which is pretty bad [01:21] walter: seen what? [01:22] FreezingCold: no they arn't, Ubuntu is free? o.O [01:22] jamiewan_: it will get abstracted and more user friendly and companies will start supporting it, which is all it really needs [01:22] Azelphur: If you're going to sell a device with Ubuntu pre-installed, you gotta pay [01:22] FreezingCold: ubuntu is free [01:22] eventually everyone will have tablets or just mobile devices i think and anything licensed to microtrash is f***ed [01:22] ActionParsnip: the error? im using asus k8u-x motherboard [01:22] someone once told me "Windows is going to buy Canonical one day.." [01:22] i think buying a system with ubuntu on it would be cheaper [01:22] FreezingCold: incorrect. If your going to sell a device, modify Ubuntu, and then still use the Ubuntu brand name, you have to pay. [01:22] cuz windows costs like 100 bucks [01:22] Linux is already a better desktop; Only thing lacking is a good consolidated configuration interface. [01:23] FreezingCold, as I said Dell has been sellling linux also specificaslly ubuntu and red hat for some years now [01:23] Azelphur: really? I thought Dell had to pay for Ubuntu... [01:23] FreezingCold: if you sell a device with unmodified Ubuntu installed, there are no licensing fees. [01:23] FreezingCold: yes, that's because they heavily modify it. [01:23] Why would they modify it, and why would they get charged for it? [01:23] and Dell /ubuntu systems are far less expensive than the windows equivelent system [01:23] FreezingCold: if they just used a Ubuntu OEM install there would be no licensing fee required [01:23] what would happened if Windows does, one day, buy Canonical? xD [01:23] we go using mint? xD [01:24] Pretty much [01:24] i think if ubuntu gets software compatibility like those of a mac it will own pwn windows in no time [01:24] Wouldn't change the game much [01:24] FreezingCold: they wanted to use their own repositories and ship with preinstalled uglyness like flash player [01:24] Does Libreoffice have a channel? [01:24] FreezingCold: the fact is, the OS is a TOOL, so if windows can do the systems job better than any other OS, it should be used. If linux does it better then Linux should be used. And so on. [01:24] Scunizi: yep, #libreoffice [01:24] Azelphur: thanks. [01:24] Where can I get lib32asound2 for Ubuntu 11.4 32bit? [01:24] I thought I was in offtopic for a minute :) sorry [01:24] FreezingCold: this whole "Linux beating Windows" is pathetic at best and I personally think bug #1 is a joke [01:24] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [01:25] the problem is that 95 percent of the world has let microsoft pull the wool over their eyes [01:25] How do I get a show desktop icon on unity [01:25] coz_: the reason they get charged for it is because the GPL states that if you modify something you must give the product a new name I believe [01:25] Azelphur: Why don't they name it CrapDellu? [01:25] Linux stands on its own... doesn't need to beat anybody... [01:25] coz_: so they are paying to license the Ubuntu brand name for a different product which isn't Ubuntu, basically. [01:25] FreezingCold: because they wanted it to be Ubuntu so people would buy it xD [01:25] jaxxdrew: just use SuperL + D [01:26] a7i3n, i agree [01:26] Say if you run a company, it gets annoying when you pretty much HAVE to pay for Windows or people will complain. [01:26] i install wine but the game doesn;t wanna [01:26] play how can i fix thissss [01:26] jaxxdrew, you can set the keybinding in ccsm to anything just about [01:26] Vustom: its just libasound2 in 32bit [01:26] guys need some help here.. ubuntu tells me to upgrade bios or use forced something( i cant recall) what should i do? [01:26] thank you. Thats all I needed coz_ and ActionParsnip === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [01:26] walter: Force. Flashing BIOSes is more risky [01:26] walter: have you upgraded your BIOS? [01:27] jaxxdrew, I generally use F4 for for show desktop ,, i dont use t hat key much :) [01:27] Awh.. I still can't get hear anything from Line-in.. [01:27] FreezingCold: how do i do that? [01:27] i thought with the latest ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-24-generic-pae kernel, the Asus USB-N13 300Mbps adapter is fully plug & play. [01:27] I got it working in Ubuntu 10.10 a few months ago but can't do it in Ubuntu 11.4, forgot how. :/ [01:27] walter, what were you doing ,, was this during install ...yes? [01:27] i have 10.11 and its not working [01:27] ActionParsnip: nope.. [01:27] coz_, yes [01:28] InfectedSoul, well thats likely because there is not 10.11 there is 10.04 10.10 and 11.04 [01:28] sorry 11.04 [01:28] what is the wine channel name? [01:28] escott, edbian thx, will look into virtualbox [01:28] eiriksvin: #winehq [01:28] walter, couple things,,, when you downloaded the iso image ,, did you check the md5sum and then if that was correct did you burn it at 1z ...yes? [01:28] thanz === oden is now known as Guest35534 [01:28] walter, rather 1x === Guest35534 is now known as od3n [01:29] or does it need an ethernet cable to see the drivers first [01:29] Is there meant to be a Line-in option with alsamixer? [01:29] coz_, i think there is no problem with the cd since i used it on other pc's and it worked okay [01:29] good morning all [01:29] walter, ok fair enough,,, is windows still installed on that system? [01:29] Does anyone know or have a decent guide to top? I'm just trying to find out the overall CPU usage of my computer, or another program that can do it? [01:30] I think I got it!...maybe [01:30] coz_, nope.. i removed it and will use ubuntu as my primary os [01:30] Zeranoe, I preger htop it has more options [01:30] anyone knows where is .emacs file in ubuntu? I couldn't find it by locate, should I make it manually? [01:30] POLL: Unity or Gnome 3 Shell ? [01:30] walter, mmmm but installing fails,, [01:30] hi, did a fresh install of 11.04 and when i tried to import folder of music into banshee, the application of banshee suddenly went dark and has not come back to normal, and its unresponsive === michael is now known as Guest47630 [01:30] walter, maybe try the alternate cd,, or better still the mini cd [01:31] Zeranoe: look at the load average in top (top line I believe) [01:31] 3': [01:31] ghostnik11: kill the app. Did you chown the data to your user? [01:31] my sound does not work (its not my speakers), I tried asoundconf with no luck. I'm out of ideas, anyone know what I should try next? [01:31] I don't know why sometime I was logged out without my active action? [01:31] walter, here is the mini https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD offers some confort agains packet collisions etc that could possibly corrupt the download [01:31] actionparsnip: what do you mean by chown the data to your user? [01:32] walter, also it is only 19 megs [01:32] coz_, yes.. btw i tried many cds..i have 10.04lts64bit,10.10, 11.04 32bit 11.04 64bit [01:32] ActionP, I did everything suggested on this page...I'm not sure which one did it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149...at least smbtree sees things.

[01:35] walter, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kXOg23pGeA ;) [01:35] Is it just me or does network-manager suck at LITERALLY everything? [01:35] ActionParsnip: Thats the whole reason I came here looking for a guide, not sure how to actually get a standard cpu usage out of that line [01:35] walter, what make is the mobo ? [01:36] magusOTB what's wrong with network manager? [01:36] coz_, its an asus k8u-x [01:36] I don't know why sometime I was logged out without my active action in Natty? [01:36] pls help me [01:36] It's not accepting the routes tht my DHCP server should be giving it (and is giving all the other computers on my network) and when I try to mnually add them, they do not persist [01:36] ubuntu 11.04 is running warmer than windows on this laptop... how can i solve this?? [01:36] also it's ignoring the DNS servers too [01:37] walmis, asus has a gui application for doing this automatically .. I doubt you will have issues,, however,, if it feels too risky and you are unsure of it,, stick with ubuntu10.04 [01:37] magus.... I agree...it is brutal [01:37] and it can't stay on a network for more than 10 minutes without disconnecting and coming back [01:37] igorel, lol for that :) [01:37] walter, asus has a gui application for doing this automatically .. I doubt you will have issues,, however,, if it feels too risky and you are unsure of it,, stick with ubuntu10.04 [01:37] wpa_supplicant is so much better. [01:37] lucas-arg: what make and model? [01:37] walmis, sorry wrong nick [01:37] magusOTB: in my experience NetworkManager is quirky as hell. [01:37] I just put 11.04 on my laptop, and it fails to suspend; it seems like it tries to but comes straight out of it. What can I do to debug? /var/log/syslog didn't have anything insightful in it [01:37] magusOTB: do you have wpa_supplicant run at boot? If so, how? [01:37] walter, at least on that system [01:37] C: [01:37] and I can't use route or anything liket hat to add them because network-manager keeps resetting them to empty [01:37] smbtree sees it but when I try to brows to it, I get Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server [01:37] I fixed it by myself. C: [01:37] C': [01:38] coz_: mmk thanks [01:38] Hey guys, my fake 'middle click' isn't working since I upgraded to 11.04, any ideas?

[01:38] escott, I just realized I had used virtualbox on my laptop before to run nix and it seemed really slow [01:38] lucas-arg: then why didn't you say that in the initial question rather than "this laptop" ? [01:38] coz_, where is that gui? [01:39] hi [01:39] ActionParsnip: sorry? im not a perfect user nor a perfect geek [01:39] magusOTB: if you're use to manually doing network stuff.. uninstall network-manager.. it just gets in the way [01:39] lucas-arg: do you have the latest bios? [01:39] Scunizi: That's wht I do on my desktop, because it's configuration doesn't change [01:39] magusOTB: But you know that you do not have to use it? [01:39] ActionParsnip: yes... all is up to date [01:39] Hello I have a question anD I would love to get some opinions on it [01:40] sure! [01:40] on my netbook, I need it to just work when I move between networks, which manual wpa_supplicant doesn't do too well [01:40] chu, hi! [01:40] hiiiiiiiiiiiiii [01:40] I am looking to dual boot again with windows 7 and I have a very hard choice [01:40] magusOTB: prior to 10.10 I had to as well to set a static IP.. not needed in 10.10 it works there now.. and I don't do much with networking outside of that. [01:40] now it has beena while since I used ubuntu [01:40] welcome to ubuntu chu === claudio is now known as botinha [01:40] magusOTB: try wicd.. === brianl|a is now known as brianl [01:40] magusOTB: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [01:41] Scunizi: Yeah, I used to use wicd on my desktop. that's what I'm int eh process of doing [01:41] GOOD BYE UNITY.. OMG thanks for keeping classic [01:41] actionparsnip: i got it to import folder, after kill of banshee, but I just had to import 1 folder at a time instead of a massive one [01:41] magusOTB: qin .. wicd is in the repos. [01:41] so I am trying to pick... I have little experence with 10.04, but should I go with 11.04 [01:41] merci [01:41] Scunizi: Although I kind of expected to be able to ask in IRC and get help, rather than commiseration. Perhaps we should file a bug about how terrible the default software is [01:41] Scunizi: Always chance that someone will donate. [01:42] most of my experence was on 8.04 [01:42] magusOTB: it's been done ad-nausium.. [01:42] so what would you pick 11.04 or 10.04 [01:42] 9.3! [01:42] ActionP, sorry nothin [01:43] lucas-arg: in the bios is the fan set to 'fan always on' [01:43] ActionParsnip: yes... [01:43] Returning: 10.04 [01:44] you think so.. why usr13? [01:44] ActionParsnip: and i dont see much cpu usage in htop [01:44] When I upgraded to 11.04, my wifi stopped working. do i have to recompile my drivers? [01:44] Scunizi: Hrrm... =dusts off his books on unix network dev= [01:44] Returning 10.10 [01:44] Returning: That's just my opinion. [01:44] okay that is fair... [01:45] I would need to track down 10.10.. I am lazy.. I just want to download from the main website. [01:45] lol [01:45] lucas-arg: ive see a post saying the manufacturing isn't great and they often leave gaps between cooler and cpu and gpu [01:45] Returning: See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Version_timeline [01:45] Pls help I found open ports on this computer 22 and 16113 could I get onto it through the second one without a username and password? [01:45] I was looking that usr13 [01:46] i'm using virsh to clone qemu virtual machines with windows guests and i need to automate the setting of a different default password for each new cloned virtual machine. i know how to clone, but not manipulate the windows guest. any ideas on how one might go about doing this from a script? [01:46] Returning: Do you see the relationship between 8.04 and 10.04? [01:46] How do I search for all installable programs that contain the word foo in ubuntu? [01:46] yeah they are extended life time [01:46] I'm going to reboot...later all thanks for the help, ActionP, I'll get there [01:46] DrSlony: apt-cache search foo [01:46] that is why I used 8.04 before [01:46] Right [01:47] how do i enable force_addr=0xr? [01:47] but I stopped using it... mostly because all of my studies were on windows and I got lazy to turn on my machine. [01:47] excellent, thank you ActionParsnip [01:47] !bootoptions | walter [01:47] walter: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [01:47] anyone please? [01:47] DrSlony: you can grep the output to make it more useful [01:48] yup [01:48] I think I will go with 10.04 and wait for 12.04 later on.. anyway thanks for the help. [01:48] RSGM: it depends on what's running on that port. It's not a standard port, so there's no way to know without being on your computer. [01:48] uabn93: What is your problem? [01:48] Ok Ty [01:48] Whats the code to apt-get install java? [01:48] brianl: which release? [01:48] newest I guess [01:48] brianl: apt-cache search java [01:49] brianl, are the partner repositories enabled also [01:49] ain't it sun-java [01:49] brianl: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/ [01:49] oh maybe that is why, the partnet repo's aren't enabled [01:49] brianl: What Ubuntu version are you? [01:49] natty [01:49] brianl, sudo apt-get install sun -java6-plugin [01:49] brianl: that ppa has a later version :) [01:49] i'm having problems when playing videos [01:49] brianl, sorry I put a space in there sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [01:50] when I try to play any type of video, my Xorg session just crashes [01:50] usr13: I upgraded to 11.04 on my laptop and the wifi drivers i compiled stopped working. were they deleted after upgrade? [01:50] Okay, thank you [01:50] passthru, did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:50] uabn93: you need to compile them for the new kernel [01:50] coz_, no. [01:50] brianl: ... and you want what? Java plugin? [01:50] passthru, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:51] coz_, i'm using the same graphic adapter's driver than Ubuntu 10.10 [01:51] openchrome [01:51] usr13, yeah, i need it for android sdk also [01:51] passthru, mm well the restricted extras are going to install a few packages and you might want to do this via synaptic package manager anyway [01:51] brianl: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [01:51] usr13, thanks [01:52] brianl: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk [01:52] coz_, i see only some library which won't solve the problem [01:52] isn't a codec error [01:52] passthru, I see which type of videos are crashing it ? [01:52] i can't watch videos [01:52] passthru, w hich player are you using also? [01:52] i tried 3 different players [01:53] passthru: what app are you watching it with? [01:53] passthru, ok which vide card again.... lspci | grep -i vga [01:53] i tried with Totem, VLC [01:53] !codecs | passthru [01:53] passthru: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:53] and others which i don't remember right now [01:53] Wasap [01:53] ActionParsnip, isn't a codec related problem [01:53] :) === iSkorup is now known as Wiggley [01:53] at least I know, codecs problem won't abort my X session [01:53] passthru, what do you believe it is? [01:54] passthru, likely the video driver,,, which card is it [01:54] how much of a performance hit would I see for encrypting my home folder? [01:54] brianl: Two packages, but they can be installed both at the same time. But if it fails, you may need another repository. [01:54] coz_, well, i checked in logs that DRI crashes when I try to watch then [01:54] *tem [01:54] *them [01:54] hey guys [01:54] there is any way to disable DRI ? [01:54] ActionParsnip: thank you. Another thing....why didn't it automatically work in ubuntu if the company that makes the drivers (ralink) make linux drivers for the card? [01:54] usr13, it worked [01:54] hey guys, I'm having aproblem with booting from grub. It worked the first time but after I reboot, it gets stuck on the splash screen loading. Is there any way to get some diagnostic info from a recovery console ? [01:54] passthru, which make of card,, its version number and which driver are you using for it? [01:55] brianl: Ok, yer good to go. [01:55] should my folders be root/root or www-data/root, or other? in apache. [01:55] i'm using openchrome driver [01:55] usr13, yep, thanks [01:55] passthru, oh!! SIS [01:55] which is detected by Ubuntu [01:55] no [01:55] VIA [01:55] passthru, no? [01:55] openchrome = VIA [01:55] passthru, ok not sure then,, it sounds like a video driver issue is x is crashing [01:56] Hi, i wanted to announce the creation of a new Linux distribution which will be a standalone Rolling-release APT Gnome3 distribution, see more on vanillux.org We are in dire need of volonteers [01:56] yeah [01:56] is this a legacy machine [01:56] DRI simply crashs [01:56] how do I access the NAS behind my CORE from a windows box outside my CORE (but still on my LAN)? [01:56] passthru, well that's the issue,,, the driver itself may not be capable of such a load [01:56] Google is taking over the whole network [01:56] ah sorry...the word CORE means my server [01:56] wtf [01:56] /join OMG!Ubuntu! [01:56] Vanillux: please don't spam the channel [01:56] Coty91: channels start with a hash [01:56] my server running ubuntu [01:56] yea i forgot [01:56] coz_, what will i do to do this force_addr=0xr [01:57] you can have symbols in channel name? [01:57] Vanillux: plus a vanilluxe is a pokemon [01:57] coz_, well, before I update it to 11.04 I was able to watch many full hd movies [01:57] Question: when I mount external drives with CIFS using Ethernet connection (11.04) I get a low transfer speed of about 4MB/sec while on Windows I get 13MB/sec. When I use NFS I get the same speed as with Windows. Any suggestions? [01:57] ActionParsnip: is there something i can do to help get that driver supported in ubuntu without having to compile them? [01:57] walter, this one is puzzling me guy,,, if you cannot install any of the versions other than 10.04 then I am not sure of any solution,, however,,you can try to ask in ##linux channel ...someone there may have a solution [01:57] are virtualizations for linux--vmware, virtualbox, etc--hard to differentiate from running linux itself, or are things significantly slower/crappier, what about visually, is the resolution the same [01:57] walter, otherwise stick with 10.04 on that machine [01:58] coz_, i see... thanks anyways :) [01:58] uabn93: thats all I can advise, if you add a DKMS part to the drivers it should get rebuilt between kernel updates [01:58] anyone knows a way to completely disable DRI ? [01:58] MattEdward: the hardware is virtualized, thats all so it will run as fast as the resources you assign [01:59] I didnt mean for him to quit :( [01:59] passthru: if you are experiencing total crashes like that after a new release, i imagine its a bug, and someone else has it too, you might want to check the bug list on ubuntu or launchpad or whatever it is [01:59] MattEdward: the res will be as big as the driver will permit, if you need bigger you can use xorg.conf and set a larger screen [01:59] I am moving my home directory to a new partition following the instructions here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome - but my home directory is encrypted. Is there anything I need to do differently? [02:00] PalinBachman2012, yeah and to have a partial solution I need to disable DRI (since i dont need it bcoz i don't use 3D effects) [02:00] ActionParsnip, so it's possible to run ubuntu virtually without it seeming virtual? [02:00] tp the eye or otherwise [02:00] to* [02:01] passthru: man, i would tell you to comment it out in xorg.conf, but I don't even know where that is anymore!

[03:07] So [03:07] hmmm im rebooting to install the nvidia drivers anyways [03:07] leigh_, not too familiar with OS X Dock... can you change your session at login to a normal session? [03:07] windparadise: env [03:07] installed the OS X doc and now all of my panles and menus are gone, want to restore to default [03:08] hi guys. I'm having some difficulty with NM's PPTP VPN. I can connect over a wired connection, but not wireless, even though it's the same network [03:08] leigh: good luck w/ that... that OSx dock has bricked more than one system.... I've never been able to successfully remove it.. the one time i tried it, i ended up reinstalling to get rid o fit [03:08] Wazza! [03:08] cg: so will env JAVA_HOME be correct? === ward is now known as Guest26558 [03:08] echo $JAVA_HOME [03:08] ok [03:08] damn [03:10] What is the proper program to install to get Java functionality in Firefox? apt-cache search java | grep plugin brings up a LOT of stuff === Guest26558 is now known as ward1234 [03:10] Yo man Im baby [03:10] leigh_, i have no idea what osx dock does, but usually for something like this you want to: (a) apt-get remove the offending application (b) try to start a normal session (c) failing that rm -rf various folders in $HOME that might contain config information [03:10] and you who you are dude [03:11] Omg why do I have room restriction on everyroom [03:11] nvidia drivers seemed to boot up with everything correctly [03:11] I think my journey of hell may be at an end [03:11] my journey all started because I thought 11.04 would work for me.... >< [03:12] Hey, is it possible to have both Gnome 3 and Unity installed on 11.04? I heard somewhere Gnome 3 broke Unity === Logan is now known as Guest45703 [03:12] guys (girls) - when are the init.d scripts run in reference to upstart-events? [03:12] ubuntu, the two are incompatible at least until 11.10 [03:12] !unity [03:12] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME see !classic. [03:12] I installed 11.04 64 and now grub always says there is an error: "no such partition." and goes to the rescue prompt. [03:13] for instance, after what point (upstart-events) would apache2 (which is an init.d script) be run ? [03:13] !gnome3 [03:13] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible.

[03:14] escott, nooooooo the theme issue again [03:14] escott, what did you do to fix this? [03:14] escott: Is it confirmed that compatibility will be fixed by 11.10? [03:14] darkenvy, i think its a race with dconf not being hot. login/logout was my approach [03:14] also guys, is it normal for the pinwheel only to spin while the mouse is moving? [03:14] how do i get sqlite3 for ubuntu? I can compile it from source, any other ideas? [03:15] ubuntu, i read a blog saying they were already starting the process of porting unity to gtk3 which would be needed to support both on the same system [03:15] Hey, keyserver.ubuntu.com has timed out for me for well over 2 months now everytime I try to add a key, this is getting REALLY frustrating, please someone tell me there is some solution, if not I really am forced back to windows [03:15] gpg: requesting key 881574DE from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error [03:15] anyone have any problems since the last update? my puter is freakin out - the screen is flashing on and off and unresponsive. [03:15] for 2 months, ive been getting this [03:15] on ubuntu 10.10 btw [03:15] escott, thanks, I can wait for a while [03:16] pythonirc101, why not just install it libsqlite3-0 [03:16] is it possible for an install to be just abd? [03:16] everything is slow [03:16] but it took me 3 times today to get 64 bit installed this time... all the way. so I dare not try again [03:17] why I get this message "(EE) Mouse0: failed to initialize for relative axes." when I startx on ubuntu,but everything is OK [03:17] escott: I need sqlite 3.xx so that i can open up databases that were created... [03:17] Mini_, if the mouse works I wouldn't worry about it [03:18] escott, on shutdown "will now halt" and never shuts down on its own [03:18] Anyone ever had it where SCP's progress bar doesn't progress? The files copy over the wire just fine.. but the progress just says 0% until it finishes.. any thoughts?

I know the kernel should work fine [03:20] jsut something funky is going on now with these installs [03:20] is there a reason why i cant write to a file i created over ssh? [03:20] i get permission denied [03:20] check file permession feard, [03:20] feard, chmod 777 file.txt? [03:20] feard: sudo chmod? [03:20] im trying to write to .irssi/scripts [03:20] did that all [03:20] escott: It's an error on xorg-xserver-driver-evdev? Why I used the mouse driver haven't got this error? [03:21] darkenvy, feard 664 is all he needs, giving rwx to others is not a good idea [03:21] -rw-r----- 1 fear fear 6884 2011-05-11 22:04 config [03:21] drwxr-xr-x 2 755 fear 4096 2011-05-11 22:09 scripts [03:21] ah! found something out! my bios went to default! which has bad memory timings! set back to normal now its blazin [03:21] #ubuntu-openchat [03:21] Lawl [03:21] Mini_, if the mouse works don't worry about it. your mouse doesn't support relative axes whatever that might be [03:21] escott, ah well thats a habit of me due to bad guides on the internet [03:21] i am trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04.....toshiba, amd/64.... the .iso checksum matches..... then the burned cd checksum matches.... choosing either try or install both get me to a rapidly blinking login screen with 'other' as the only choice... which always returns an authorization failure..... what am i doing incorrectly??

[03:26] DaveD0101, start an application then right click and pin to the bar [03:26] escott: ext4, i want to mount it on ext3 [03:27] DaveD0101, Just pin to the bar after opening any application [03:27] MonkeyDust, you cannot mount ext4 as ext3 if extents are enabled (and they usually are) [03:27] escott: how can i find out? === Craig_Dem_ is now known as Craig_Dem [03:28] escott, Ok, I was trying to drag an icon to the bar where it says "drop to add application". turns out that's broken. [03:28] anyone using a macbook? [03:28] escott, AbTuX Thanks [03:28] MonkeyDust, i just wouldn't do it. I *know* extents are not supported, but there are probably other features which wouldn't be supported [03:29] MonkeyDust, if mount is complaining it is probably for good reason [03:29] any answer to my issue please? [03:30] escott, AbTuX: As far as you know, you're just stuck with whatever icon it uses while running? [03:30] Any answers to my scp question?

[03:30] wht happened to the kiba dock project? [03:30] DaveD0101, probably... unity is not intended to be super configurable [03:31] escott, K. Pycharms icon was all stretched, and when i scaled the bar it just changed into a quesion mark. :/ [03:31] DaveD0101, its probably looking for a png from the icon theme that would be smaller/larger and not finding it.

[03:40] escott: ah [03:40] not in centos it seems [03:40] Lewoco: you can use: sudo service gdm restart maybe. [03:40] ok it's a openvz implementation [03:40] cryptodira: You don't need to burn a CD or download an .iso [03:40] sabgenton, others may pick a different number, but you get the basic idea [03:41] Lewoco: sudo restart gdm3 or sudo restart gdm [03:41] cryptodira: did you download the alternate ISO? [03:41] cryptodira: Unless you want to [03:41] Does anyone here use MUGEN? [03:41] escott: ah ok [03:41] cryptodira: do you intend to clean install or upgrade the OS using the CD? [03:41] okay... we both use ubuntu.. but my brother is a dirty Pirate.. I would never do anything like that * cough cough * he wants to torrent things on ubuntu to switch them over to his windows 7 partition. but he is really worried about windows virus getting transferred. now I have more experience then him but not that much, and this is one thing I could not answer. So if you torrent say games... [03:41] ...and music, or download any software for windows on ubuntu, can you catch something when you transfer over the files [03:42] edbian: i chose an iso in order to have the option of putting it on another machine without having to d/l more than once. [03:42] UbuntuUser1138: Yes [03:42] UbuntuUser1138, No [03:42] UbuntuUser1138: The ubuntu install will not be affected but windows will. [03:42] UbuntuUser1138: windows viruses won't affect ubuntu. You can scan files using clamtk [03:42] Hello [03:42] UbuntuUser1138: You can use clamtk or clamav [03:42] ActionParsnip, No, i did not use the alternate... perhaps i should do so? [03:42] UbuntuUser1138: use the clamav for the latest defs [03:42] I need help installing Ubuntu [03:42] okay but if they get on the ubuntu partition it won't spread out side of it if I catch it there [03:43] cryptodira: actually, the new CDs can upgrade installs. It's a new option. Just remembered [03:43] as in I find the infected fire before I transfer it over. [03:43] cryptodira: what video chip do you use? [03:43] ActionParsnip, UpGrade.... from 10.10 which in turn was an upgrade from 10.04 which was a fresh install. [03:43] UbuntuUser1138: makes sense doesn't it [03:43] UbuntuUser1138: Ubuntu will be unaffected. The virus won't infect any machine that you don't place the files on. [03:43] Viruses for windows wont affect ubuntu [03:43] I know they wont effect it [03:43] Hello? can anyone help me? [03:43] but I am talking about a dual boot with windows [03:44] same [03:44] but different hard drive. [03:44] UbuntuUser1138: What specifically is your question? [03:44] Hi everyone, I'm having some problems reinstalling grub. I can't seem to get my bootable drive (dev/sda1 formatted to NTFS with a windows install on it) to mount. When I sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt it doesn't give me any errors as if it mounted fine but it doesn't mount. [03:44] What is the name of the process that creates the gnome taskbar? [03:44] cryptodira: for nvidia chips use the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1 for anything else try: nomodeset [03:44] UbuntuUser1138: the location is moot, the copying is the important detail [03:44] downloaded windows viruses while using Ubuntu on a duel boot machine. [03:44] okay.. so it won;t matter [03:44] Lewoco: gnome-panel [03:44] FerretWithASpork, (a) usually you mount to /mnt/windows not /mnt (b) have you checked "mount" afterwards and ls -l /mnt [03:45] as long as I don't copy it over. [03:45] UbuntuUser1138: it could be on a different machine, the detail is identical [03:45] UbuntuUser1138: that's right [03:45] okay.. that is good. [03:45] UbuntuUser1138: The viruses are never run on Linux. Therefore they won't do anything you don't expect [03:45] FerretWithASpork, and what does any of this have to do with reinstalling grub? [03:45] I booted into Ubuntu for the first time, and when I try to install it, I always get an error on the third step. [03:45] I know but I mean when I boot back to windows.. like if I miss something but don't copy it over. [03:46] OlehK: What is the third step and what is the error? [03:46] UbuntuUser1138: I don't know what you're asking. Please try asking it all on one line. [03:46] escott: I have 2 HDs, my windows drive is the bootable drive, my second drive has linux on it. I installed windows after linux and now have no way to boot into linux so I'm on a live CD [03:46] UbuntuUser1138: then you will need to boot back and copy the data over [03:46] FerretWithASpork, and have you followed the reinstall instructions? [03:47] !grub | FerretWithASpork [03:47] FerretWithASpork: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[03:47] if I get a windows virus on ubuntu, and I don't catch, but I don't copy it over to my windows on the same machine. can it still infect my windows OS? [03:47] The step called "Allocate drive space" [03:47] hi; i am guessing that this question is just as simple for ubuntu users than the server users,... i am using the server and would need to configure it wireless ... and at the same time,.. i do remember there is a way to filter on here so we can actually read replies but i cannot remember that :P [03:47] UbuntuUser1138: no [03:47] UbuntuUser1138, no no no [03:47] okay [03:47] awesome [03:47] UbuntuUser1138: :) [03:47] escott: I've been using a "grub2 guide" on the ubuntu forums, I'll give that link a try; thanks.

I'm used to windows so :P [03:53] FerretWithASpork, i do both usually [03:53] escott okay thanks [03:53] FerretWithASpork, if you do only one it has to be the one the bios will boot from usually sda [03:53] OlehK: Oh sorry. I was thinking of the old version. Click the Ubuntu logo in the upper right. type gparted in the search box, it should come up. [03:54] OlehK: The problem is that the installer is having trouble finding your HDDS. We'll use gparted to find out why. gparted is partition software [03:54] Ok, got it [03:54] alright I can see my drives [03:54] escott: I'm getting this "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 32 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it." is that a problem?

The partitions are correct and all that? === MarconM is now known as OI [03:56] FerretWithASpork, i dont know what FlexNet is, but grub installs something to the mbr, and then puts a second stage in free space apparently where flexnet wants to go. since it is only a warning i think it is ok, you could check in #grub to be sure [03:56] I don't have any partitions :P also, should my RAID array be showing up? [03:56] OlehK, do you have soft-raid in the bios [03:56] OlehK: Is this a software or hardware raid? (You have at least 1 partition) [03:56] I have no idea, was trying to figure that out 15 min ago [03:56] OlehK: I've never set up on a raid before [03:57] OlehK, if you bios mentions raid (and you dont have a pci raid controller) you have soft-raid which sometimes works, but isn't encouraged [03:57] I already have it set up, and works fine in windows, but it;s not showing up [03:57] OlehK: That fact that it works in windows means very little if it is a software raid [03:58] yeah [03:58] OlehK, the problem is linux doesn't use that bios controlled raid method, it has its own preferred solution called mdadm. its sometimes possible to use a bios raid with something called dmraid [03:58] I am in over my head. I have no idea how to help anymore [03:58] I don't have a raid [03:58] OlehK, a pci riser card with raid support would just require modprobing the drivers for the pci card (if it is a supported card) === OI is now known as Marcon [03:59] alright, I have to go anway === Marcon is now known as MarcoM [03:59] Thanks for the help anyways :) === MarcoM is now known as MarconM [04:00] When i try to use apt-get my speeds are like 20kbps. when i run speedtest.net it says 8mbps. im rockin a pci dlink dwa-552 (xtreme n). just cant figure out when apt-get is so slow but everything else is mostly fine [04:00] bisby: install apt-fast and watch it fly :) [04:01] bisby: try a different source too. === michael is now known as Guest14240 [04:01] ive tried multiple different sources. sometimes they'll spike up to 400kbps, but then they quickly level out around 20kbps. for a while it was averaging below 1kbps and actually reporting the speed in bps (ew) [04:02] ActionParsnip, apt-fast i can't find that????

Aside from drop to add being broken, and the icon thing being absent, and scaling the bar causes any custom ones to turn to question marks... now I've found that any java app launched via sh precludes the addition of a different one launched the same way, and even triggers backlighting on the wrong app. [04:05] nm. its not just apt-get. speedtest.net is now reporting .2 mbps too [04:05] jamiewan: its badass :) [04:06] yeah all good now, thanx for that was troubled by slow apt off and on for months [04:06] hey, i'd like to monitor cpu, network traffic, hdd space etc [04:07] !classic | DaveD0101 [04:07] and graph + send emails [04:07] DaveD0101: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [04:07] any recommendations on what software to use? [04:07] Zyclops, install conky [04:07] Zyclops: munin [04:07] Zyclops, cacti [04:07] Zyclops: you can monitor it with Conky [04:07] hi all [04:07] so are there any known problems with wireless n cards or ipv6 or soemthing? my internet speeds are fine in win7 but terrible in ubuntu [04:07] conky, cacti, muninā€¦ i've used cacti for network traffic before [04:08] not used the other two === head_v is now known as head_victim [04:08] Zyclops, conky for me is the best, runs in background all info on the desktop its great [04:08] hey folks.. .trying to help out a buddy who is still running fiesty. If he upgrades the distro, will he have to go through each version? or is there a way to upgrade directly to say, 10.10 or 11. 04? [04:08] gsp2009, the only jumps allowed are from lts to lts [04:09] jamiewan: has it got a web interface or soemthing like that? i have like 6 servers to monitor [04:09] escott... thanks. :) [04:09] Zyclops, cacti is what you want, or nagios [04:09] Zyclops, not sure prob cacti for you be better [04:09] Zyclops, http://www.nagios.org/ [04:10] whats the chmod command to add group permission to all files/fiolders in var/www [04:10] nagious.. is what my old work used to do [04:10] intersting [04:10] Zyclops, http://www.cacti.net/ [04:10] bisby, are you sure the problem is with your system, and not the remote server? [04:11] escott: so... he would go 7.10, then 8.04 to 10.04? is that right? This may be better/easier just to d/l and reinstall from scratch. [04:11] escott, ubottu : Good tip, I'll probably just do that. This unity thing was a neat idea, it's just badly incomplete. [04:11] phpguy306, chmod -R g+? /var/www [04:11] is there a ssh server installer package on ubuntu livecd?? [04:11] escott, yes. my phone is running fine, my other computers are running fine. win7 is running fine on this computer. ubuntu 11.04 gets dialup speeds almost [04:11] gsp2009, that far back i would just do a fresh install... i would also worry about the hardware and the experience after a fresh install [04:11] escott: no question mark though right? [04:12] phpguy306, you didn't specify what permission you wanted to give the group [04:12] Ok, who helped me earlier? [04:13] With the wireless cardbus? [04:13] escott: i added a user to the www-data, and will have him login via sftp. But allt eh folders/files dont have group permission on it. so i thought i would add group permission to all files/folders for him [04:13] is there a ssh server installer package on ubuntu livecd?? [04:13] ActionParsnip, no joy with the 'nomodeset'.... still gets to a Rapidly Blinking' login box.... with 'other' as the only choice....any other suggestions on how to successfully upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 .... amd64 machine [04:13] escott: thanks alot for your help. [04:13] bisby, maybe there is something with your wireless card driver. linux has a higher transmit queue buffer (bufferbloat.net), but its rather hard to say from speedtest.net. i would transfer some big files around your local network to see if thats really the problem [04:14] xiao - if you can't find one look in the software center [04:14] hey guys, is anyone here familiar with argspoof ? [04:15] ace0s, do you mean arpspoof? [04:15] Ok, so I tried the file that guy gave me earlier, RALINK, and it came up fine and I got it in the comp, but where the hell do I put it?? [04:16] Anyone? [04:17] !illegal | ace0s if you really want to do this on your own network find a networking channel [04:17] ace0s if you really want to do this on your own network find a networking channel: 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 [04:17] SOmeone has to know where to put a raw wireless driver in a Ubuntu type load. [04:17] hi can someone help me use xchat for irc? [04:18] xchat is irc [04:18] i can't use it [04:18] just named xchat [04:18] why? whats wrong? [04:18] hey can't use emerald borders with unity ?.. [04:18] it says "Notice -- You need to identify via SASL to use this server" [04:19] and keeps trying to reconnect [04:19] zoaz, ignore it. its spam [04:19] escott: Not necessarily. [04:19] what serv are you trying to join anyway? You're already in a server. [04:19] zoaz: Which server? [04:19] Freenode [04:19] ur i freenode by default [04:19] in* [04:19] I'm using the webclient here [04:19] ah [04:20] zoaz: I had the same problem earlier [04:20] Logan_, sorry i thought he was reacting to all the SASL spam from the past few days [04:20] zoaz: Xchat? [04:20] yep [04:20] is there a way to make windows maximize the old way; with the close / minimize / maximize and title in a bar at the top of the window rather than merged with the panel? [04:20] what server are you trying to contct? freenode is the standard login page. [04:20] zoaz: It was a problem with my router [04:21] well I'm on mobile hotspot.... [04:21] laptop or tower zoaz? [04:21] so laptop === sbell_ is now known as sbell [04:21] zoaz: Wasn't letting me use the port [04:21] try a seperate port number, like 6697 [04:21] I just think I should be able to use xchat if I can use the web client [04:22] zoaz: no the webchat is over http (port 80) [04:22] This really doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu. [04:22] zoaz: try irssi, might work [04:23] same protocol, not likely to be different. [04:23] If you can get more info zoaz it'd be helpful. [04:23] can a vpn hide ur internet activity from a network administrator? [04:23] like at what point you get that message, etc. [04:23] spasysheep, OMG Ubuntu had something about unity-tweak today. maybe that has an option to not merge the panel [04:23] mickey, well, aside from the fact that it will be obvious, yes. [04:23] escott, thanks, I'll check it out [04:23] what do u mean? [04:23] change the port number to your comps port, if you know what it is. I'm not sure WHAT the comp number is by default, but your load of xchat may be trying to run on a different port that isn't even related to your computer. Like a server that you connected to, like at a school or a hospital. [04:23] it's trying port 8001 [04:24] any one try gnome 3 yet? and have system put unity back? [04:24] mickey, they will probably notice a large bandwith encrypted channel on a port that is not 8080 [04:24] mickey, your network admin will be able to see lots of encrypted garbage traffic. It will be obvious that it's a SSH tunnel or VPN connection but they won't be able to see what you're doing. [04:24] davros: Didn't get you there [04:24] Hey everyone, question about running x11vnc & xubuntu 11.04, I've recently reinstalled my media-pc had it all up and running, made a couple changes to /etc/gdm/Init (added x11vnc -safer -forever -thread) to boot x11vnc on its boot, and it only displays a black screen, i can connect in via tightVNC still [04:24] 8080? I think you meant 80, 443, etc. [04:24] davros: Yes, I am using unity on natty [04:24] rather 443 [04:24] zoaz, just ssh to a box at home, then tunnel a socks proxy for irc [04:24] mickey, They can still also guess based on the bandwidth shape that you're streaming/torrenting but that would still be hard. [04:24] no i want gnome 3 [04:25] hmm.... interesting [04:25] hey guys, i installed XArp and everytime i try to open it after asking for my password it doesn't open or an error message appears saying that the root user is using it, has anyone else had this problem? [04:25] question is, can zoaz actually do that? [04:25] !gnome3 | davros [04:25] davros: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. [04:25] it would be hard to track, or hard to set up? [04:25] davros: Then install the gnome-shell package [04:25] I don't have another box :( [04:25] davros, I highly recommend that you do NOT use that PPa. [04:25] or both? [04:25] and this is my only connection [04:25] davros: gnome3 is available but its not supported here [04:25] well that sucks [04:25] zoaz: Try irssi [04:25] i kno [04:25] zoaz, just get more info on when the error pops up, it's overkill to need to ssh/socks proxy for IRC. [04:25] do you have a wifi card? [04:25] !irssi | zoaz [04:25] zoaz: irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [04:26] That !gnome3 factoid needs to go. Completely. That PPA does nothing but break my VM everytime I try it. [04:26] zoaz: just apt-get install it , it worked fo=r me when I had trouble === Rudy- is now known as RudyValencia [04:26] zoaz: with xchat [04:26] wow, i am really liking xfce these days! *ducks* [04:26] zoaz: for some reason [04:26] Random_Fool, i think you need to wait to start x11vnc until after login, but i don't know for sure [04:27] magn3ts, do u know of a tutorial i could use to set that up? [04:27] magn3ts: it gives people the option, i's their risk [04:27] why even hate xfce? I haven't had it crash yet! [04:27] escott - its set up for auto-login,, and unfortunatly i cant even get a terminal window open right now [04:27] :D [04:27] ActionParsnip, there's lots of things that are less risky that are discouraged here on a more regular basis IMO. [04:27] Overlord-sirus: I prefer lxde :) [04:27] mickey, depends, exactly what are you triyng to do? There's lots of different ways of going about it. [04:27] Never tried [04:28] magn3ts: true, but the warnings are clear. If people choose to ignore them that is their choice [04:28] Random_Fool, I would just worry you are racing the vnc to start before the X server is up. where exactly did you put the x11vnc (and where did you get the idea to do it that way) [04:28] I want to get my hands on fluxbox, like a load of nubuntu. I always thought it would be fun to play with. [04:28] xfce 4.8 is the choice to make for those who can't stand gnome 3 or unity (Xubuntu) [04:28] magn3ts, i'm trying to torrent annonymously and also hide internet activity [04:28] mickey, Do you trust your endpoint? [04:28] How do I change my window manager to xfwm4? [04:28] sorry, i dont know what u mean [04:28] mickey, do you have a VPN provider in mind? Or do you have a PC at home that you trust as safe? [04:29] good question :D [04:29] Lewoco: press ALT+F2 and run: xfce4 --replace [04:29] mickey, to do a VPN, you need someone who's going to provide you with an endpoint, eventually your torrent has to connect to the wide internet. [04:29] Lewoco: you get the idea [04:29] actually.... wait..... [04:29] mickey, I think ThePirateBay runs a VPN, I don't know if it's any good or how expensive it is. [04:29] ActionParsnip, I think its xfwm --replace [04:29] ActionParsnip, Sorry I didn't ask the right question. How do I make it do that by default? [04:29] I think I might even have nubuntu somewhere [04:29] Seqis: yeah, that sort of jazz ;0 [04:30] is there a program suitable to perfome the function of 'flash media live encoder' for linux yet? [04:30] Lewoco: you can add a startup app to run it [04:30] ActionParsnip, Well that will start start metacity first wont it? [04:30] metacity != xfce [04:30] mickey, is this making sense? I can try to find a picture if it would hlep. [04:30] Lewoco: sure but only for a sec [04:30] magn3ts, so i would set up my desktop at home as the client? [04:31] Isn't there some way I can just tell X to run xfwm4 directly instead of metacity? [04:31] Lewoco: theres a setting in gconf someplace but I don't use gnome so much these days to know [04:31] mickey, What internet traffic are you trying to hide? Home Computer -> internet? Laptop->Internet? Phone->Internet? [04:31] pfifo, ffmpeg and mplayer can probably both encode the video format, i don't know about the flv container though [04:31] Woo, the house is shaking from lightning! OH BOY [04:31] home to internet [04:32] is that possible? [04:32] escott, no [04:32] what do you mean? [04:32] mickey, yes, but I'm not sure you understand how this works. Let me show you :) [04:32] cool, thanks [04:33] is there a way to pin the terminal to the taskbar in 11.04? [04:33] oh hey cool, I do have a nubuntu load disc.... now what was wrong with it? [04:33] i_is_broke, right click on the icon and select pin [04:33] goto menu, pull off menu, put in task bar [04:33] like windows [04:33] escott - placed it @ the very end of Init, just before the exit 0, and as bad it'll sound i ran it similarly before to have it autoload on boot on the old 9.04 ubuntu install [04:33] mickey, [Your Computer (96.255.210.90)] ----VPN---> [Ipredator account (1.2.3.4)] -----> Internet. [04:34] yay, IP address... [04:34] mickey, this way, all of your traffic to the Internet comes out of the IP Address 1.2.3.4. The "Internet" at large doesn't know where that traffic originally came from. [04:34] * ejv can feel the nmapping starting up [04:34] I predator is the software? [04:35] mickey, it's not softare, it's a VPN account on a remote computer. [04:35] Random_Fool, im not too familiar with vnc but if it can run as your uid (which it probably should) then you should add it to your session startup applications. not that i know where that would be in unity (11.04) [04:35] Howdy all. [04:35] fellas, I have ubuntu-server and would like to load a light-weight gnome desktop environment. which package should I fetch that is the *most minimal*? thank you. [04:35] mickey, if the software was on your computer, it would still come from your IP Address, and thus not be anonymous. [04:35] I had a spacer in my unity launcher, I right clicked on my launcher and removed it, I really need it back, how can I add a spacer? Is there a command line to restart ot unity lancher? [04:35] OH, I remember! I couldn't get the wireless to work on nubuntu... anyone have any ideas? [04:35] hi [04:35] mickey, the internet isn't an anonymous place. When content goes out to the Internet, it has to originate somewhere. It's basically like driving to another town to mail a package anonymously... You're sending your traffic to another server and then it sends it out and pretends to be the origin to hide your identity. [04:36] Can anyone tell me which repository I need to have in my sources.list to be able to find/install KAudioCreator? I've got the 'main', 'restricted', 'multiverse', and 'universe' repositories, yet apt-cache(1) doesn't find it. [04:36] Is KAudioCreator even in the official Ubuntu repos anymore? [04:36] mickey, the picture here isn't fantastic, but it might help: https://www.ipredator.se/?lang=en [04:36] Random_Fool, or better yet in /etc/init/gdm/PostLogin/Default thats clearly where they want it [04:36] Overlord-sirus: We do not support derivatives of Ubuntu in this channel. [04:36] sudo apt-get kaaudiocenter [04:36] Overlord-sirus, whats you need?, whats your [04:37] or whatever it is [04:37] escott - ok thanks for your help [04:37] magne3ts, i read somewhere that it encrypts all the packets i send and receive even before it gets to the router, is that right? [04:37] whats my whut? [04:38] hmm I wouldn't bother with ipredator... just get a VPS and ssh through there, or use the VPS server [04:38] mickey, if you make a VPN connection to an iPredator server, it MIGHT be encrypted... it depends on what type of VPN it is. I believe all are encrypted by default. [04:38] Overlord-sirus, Thanks for the attempt, but that doesn't work. Believe me, I know what I'm doing here, I've been running Linux for 15 - 16 years now. What I'm asking is what Ubuntu repository do I need to have in my sources.list(5) file so that apt-get can find it? [04:38] Seqis, a VPS stored where? In the US? How will that help if he is torrenting illegally? He'll get caught all the same? [04:38] What I'm saying is that KAudioCreator does not appear to be in the 'main', 'restricted', 'multiverse', or 'universe' repositories. [04:38] magn3ts, Oh .. this is for illegal activity... I wasn't aware that was the context. [04:38] !find kaudio [04:39] Surprise they allow that sort of chatter on #ubuntu [04:39] File kaudio found in fvwm-crystal, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-doc, jackd2, kde-icons-mono, kdelibs4-dev, libav-doc, libsdl1.2-dev, nuvola-icon-theme, openclipart-png (and 1 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=kaudio&mode=&suite=natty&arch=any [04:39] surprised* [04:39] Seqis, well that's the presumption I'm under. I use my VPS for up and up stuff but I'm actually thinking about investing in an anon vpn setup as well. [04:39] !illegal [04:39] 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 [04:39] Seqis, well that's the assumption I was going on, I don't know that it was explicit. He merely said he wanted his data encrypted in transport. [04:39] magn3ts, mickey can we please take the whole vpn/vps stuff somewhere else its clearly for something other than hiding web surfing for the boss and is taking time away from everyone else [04:39] well if they raid ipredator in sweden, all bets are off, man3 [04:39] err magn3ts [04:39] magn3ts, he was pretty clear what he wanted to do [04:40] escott, interesting that I can take time, but I'd be happy to move it to a PM. [04:40] On 11.04, can I somehow reorder the icons on the sidebar? [04:40] I had a spacer in my unity launcher, I right clicked on my launcher and removed it, I really need it back, how can I add a spacer? Is there a command line to restart ot unity lancher? [04:40] Everytime I boot I see this message: "Udevd-work[84]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda1' unexpected exit with status 0" Anyone have any idea what it means? I can't get grub to work no matter what I do and I feel this may be part of the issue? [04:40] Ziber: Just drag and drop to move the launcher icons. [04:40] Meh, it says "torrent anonymously". I don't like people knowing that I'm sharing Ubuntu. heh. [04:40] html_inprogress - what did you mean? I don't know what you asked me exactly. [04:40] (should work for most of the icons) [04:40] mickey, can you PM me, or I will PM you, we need to take this out of #ubuntu [04:41] sorry for the trouble folks. [04:41] tje2, here you gohttp://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198397 [04:41] don't forget to encrypt your pm magn3ts... [04:41] FerretWithASpork, you can run that command and see what error it gives, sounds like your partition doesn't have a uuid?! [04:42] Seqis, haha [04:42] html_inprogress, Thank you! THAT is what I was looking for. [04:42] doesn't a partition need a uuid to be accessible? [04:42] of course, everything in this channel is logged publicly [04:42] gasp! [04:42] Overlord-sirus, whats you problem,, not conneted? or dont work? whats you os, hardware,software [04:42] I did an upgrade today -- M --> N. The computer points to a local repo. As usual, I ran "do-release-upgrade" (which usually works just fine). [04:43] hi where do i ask questions related to launchpad & translations of some packages? [04:43] tje2, :) you wellcoomeee! [04:43] Overlord-sirus, the uuid thing is somewhat new, but its definitely the preferred method these days [04:43] Question,can I use ubuntu repos in openSUSE? [04:43] well, you can't really help me unless you have used nubuntu before or know how to get a wifi cardbus to work for it. [04:43] escott I get a segmentation fault when I try to run it. Isn't that a memory error? [04:43] This particular computer started out on Jaunty. For the first time, it wouldn't use the local repo with default settings. [04:43] roarke: no def not [04:43] FerretWithASpork, no it means the blkid application read something from your partition table and then sh*t itself because it wasn't in the expected format [04:44] escott lol I see. Is there any way to fix that? like maybe a diaper? [04:44] FerretWithASpork, sda1 is ntfs correct? do you know if it is gpt or msdos partition [04:44] edbian' but would the same apps in ubuntu work in openSUSE? [04:44] It turned out that I had to simply add a custom config file to the directory that would override the default practice of turning off all third-party repos. [04:44] hola, just did an upgrade on lucid LTS and I'm getting the following error: http://paste.debian.net/116704/ [04:44] escott It is ntfs but I have no idea what gpt is. it's Windows 7 if that helps [04:45] I can see what the error is saying, but I'm wondering how to fix? [04:45] FerretWithASpork, what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda say (use !pastebin) [04:45] roarke: There is a package called alien for us .deb users. It allows us to install .rpm packages. It is very dangerous and generally a bad idea. I'm not sure if there is some reverse thing. [04:45] basically, libldap has been upgraded but the slapd dependecy list hasnt? [04:45] escott: the weird thing is in the ubuntu disk utility it doesn't recognize sda1 as a filesystem it says "Unknown 300GB // Usage -" [04:46] FerretWithASpork, i think its this flexnet thing [04:46] FerrettWithASpork - odd. is it an external drive? [04:46] Overlord-sirus: nope, internal [04:46] escott: http://pastebin.com/khpAPFp6 [04:47] FerrettWithASpork - Dual HDD? [04:47] Overlord-sirus: yep [04:47] Neat. [04:47] Source (http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/soviet.exhibit/famine.html) [04:48] how can I install/enable apc in my php? [04:48] escott: I found a tutorial that had me delete the FlexNet from sector 32. I installed grub with no warning and I booted into ubuntu, but I now can't access windows [04:49] afeijo: Install the "php-apc" package, and then reload Apache. Before reloading Apache, make any necessary changes to the corresponding .ini files in your PHP configuration. [04:50] FerretWithASpork, try vol_id -u /dev/sda1 [04:50] julian_c, it worked! thanks :) [04:50] escott: vol_id command not found [04:50] am I correct in thinking that the 'type' for ntfs partitions in fstab is ntfs-3g? [04:50] You're welcome, afeijo. [04:50] nevermind then [04:50] spasysheep: yes [04:51] vol_id isn't going to be helpful anyways so... [04:51] shall I install memcached too? [04:51] Hello, does anybody know how to force ubuntu on pandaboard to a specific screen resolution? It does not seem to detect my monitor correctly and goes to 640x480. It does work on my HDTV. [04:51] It's looking like I might just have to format both the drives completely, repartition, and reinstall [04:51] pic [04:51] edbian, thanks. are the settings for , , and important? what should I set those as?

[04:52] anyone have a solution to this? slapd depends on libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.3); however: [04:52] Version of libldap-2.4-2 on system is 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.4. [04:52] edbian, yes, I want my ntfs shared data partiton to mount on boot [04:52] spasysheep: Here's a detailed guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab for options you want 'defaults,user' probably, pass and dump should both be 0 You have to have an entry for every column [04:53] edbian, thanks [04:53] spasysheep: auto makes it mount at boot (defaults,user,auto) but I think auto is included in defaults [04:53] spasysheep: No problem [04:53] FerretWithASpork, i would check with #grub they may be more knowledgeable. my guess (and its only a guess) is that the uuids are supposed to be stored somewhere between the mbr and the first partition, but flexnet is in the way which is breaking blkid. you could try to hardcode the device name in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg or remove flexnet (if it won't invalidate your license) [04:53] afeijo: It wouldn't hurt. Also be sure to install and configure the "memcached" package (I think...). === Zorlin is now known as Guest92240 [04:54] ok [04:54] When I run "service privoxy status" it says that it's running, but when I nmap the port that privoxy should be running on, nothing is listening.

[05:01] I just plugged in an external drive that's formatted to Apple HFS+ and it's read-only. Is there any way to write to it? [05:02] yoshie: add boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [05:02] israfel: some (many?) d-link cards work (Atheros chipset) [05:02] FerretWithASpork, no ro for HFS+ [05:02] yoshie: new releases have display timings in the kernel, hence no issues in the older versions [05:02] I installed ccsm because compiz gives me an error... [05:02] The one I'm using now has a max speed of 1Mb/s but slows to about 50k. [05:02] @Actionparsnip ok let me try that real quick [05:03] someh4x0r, I need to know which ones have the best support. Many work but are crippled in speed. [05:04] !hfsplus [05:04] Ok I need to build PHP without suhosin... [05:04] (oops... not in there) [05:04] Israfel: I don't mean to offend you but I strongly suspect many of the cards worked and you just couldn't figure out how to configure them correctly [05:04] Well, thats cool. In compiz, trying to enable desktop cube, i've lost 11.04's dock and stuff... [05:05] FerretWithASpork: A little more on HFS+ and Ubuntu: . [05:05] edbian, I have 3 computers. Everything works with Windows on this PC, (dualboot). My laptop with Ubuntu also works fine. There's several bugreports for the cards I bought. I'm tired of buying the wrong ones. [05:05] FerretWithASpork, apparently you can do read-write if you disable journaling [05:06] Just like with NTFS, write is possible, but proceed with caution. [05:06] Israfel: I'm sorry you're had so much trouble. [05:06] edbian, I also tried serialmonkey drivers, ndiswrapper, etc. [05:06] julian_c / escott: thanks i'll look into it [05:06] Hi, I installed starcraft on ubuntu , the game runs, but I get a blank screen when I try to play. Why is that? [05:07] I'm trying to upgrade to 11.04 to see if that fixes it, but I have 16 days left of downloads. [05:07] julian_c, thats a good link it probably should be added to the bot [05:07] i see that xscreensaver is removed for the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 .... does this mean it will no longer run under 11.04 ... OR... can it be reinstalled? what is the replacement screensaver for 11.04> [05:07] ray24: check the appdb for suggestions, you can also ask in #winehq [05:08] Israfel, 16 Days??? Dial up? lol [05:08] cryptodira, gnome-screensaver [05:09] jamiewan, crappy WMP54G (linksys) wireless card. [05:09] does anyone know when 10.04 lts runs out [05:09] escott: doe this mean that xscreen saver will not run under 11.04? [05:09] sorry, I know I'm gonna be rude but I need a quick advice [05:09] 13.04 [05:09] Israfel: What driver are you using? [05:09] 3 years lts [05:10] i know [05:10] UBuxuBU: on desktop or server? [05:10] isn't there a better way than top/htop to know what process(es) are eating the computer power and/or memory? [05:10] cryptodira, im sure you could compile it but they created gnome-screensaver to replace it [05:10] Israfel: try using iperf to see if it is really your wireless card and not your internet connection [05:10] but when does it end [05:10] desktop [05:10] !maverick [05:10] edbian, Right now I'm using the one that came with Ubuntu. The ndiswrapper one was even slower. [05:10] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [05:10] 10.04 released in 2010 in april + 3 years = 2013 in april [05:10] saalaa__, You might check out "powertop" [05:10] someh4x0r, it's not my internet, I have other computers doing just fine. [05:10] ok ty [05:10] yeah 13.04 [05:11] i tried 11.04 and it is a mess [05:11] saalaa__, I think it requires an Intel-based CPU, but it should give you an idea of where your power consumption is going to. [05:11] escott: this then is a NEW gnome... that replaces the current ones found in 10.04 and 10.10 ? [05:11] UBuxuBU: lts == 3 years support on desktop, intermediate release is supported 1.5 years on desktop [05:11] !unity [05:11] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME see !classic. [05:11] actually, I was thinking that my current problem is not CPU/memory related but rather IO related [05:11] saalaa__, Then check out iotop, iostat, vmstat, etc. [05:12] our partition with postgresql's data was out of free space so, the system is probably clearing some backlog [05:12] tje2, thanks [05:12] What does fdi stand for? (you know, those *.fdi files used by HAL) [05:13] tje2: thanks [05:13] i like unity [05:14] ActionParsnip, are you using Natty? [05:14] escott: , ActionParsnip: i have been unable to get beyond the rapidly blinking 'other' login screen while trying to UpGrade to 11.04 from 10.10 .... so am trying the built in upgrade route....are either of you aware of any "gotchas" that i should watch for in relation to the problems with trying to upgrade from cd? [05:14] it's kinda stupid because I never took the time to understand those tools and I have no idea of what I should be looking for ^^ [05:14] saalaa__, Glad I could help. Please refer to the manpages for each for additional information. But if you're wanting to see where your I/O is, those are the tools. [05:14] Hi, when you do an upgrade through ssh and it gives you a back up port in case something goes wrong. Does anyone know what the default backup port number is or does it decide randomly? [05:15] cryptodira, mine was uneventful (as had all past upgrades) but given that you are having problems with the livecd its hard to say what might happen [05:15] does anybody know how to make ubuntu bootable from an usb external hard drive? i tried diferent solutions but i just aint becoming succesful...i really need help please.. [05:16] RudeTux: unetbootin or the 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux can do it. I assume your BIOS can boot USB storage [05:16] escott: ok,.... the previous upgrades via local burned cd... worked fine.... not sure what the deal with 11.04 is... Thanks for your thoughts and help. [05:16] weh [05:16] RudeTux: You can load grub from your main system and run your USB loaded system from its boot. [05:17] tje2: that was a very diplomatic RTFM :) [05:17] saalaa__, Thank you, thank you. ;) === speedrunnerG55__ is now known as speedrunnerG55 [05:18] saalaa__, I've worked a handful of years doing tech support for dialup (at first), DSL, cable (both biz and residential), metro ethernet over fiber, etc... So yeah, I'm REAL good about telling someone to RTFM without being rude about it. [05:18] saalaa__, But honestly, but NOT reading the documentation and having someone answer all of your questions for you, you only end up short-changing yourself. If you take those extra few minutes to RTFM, you'll find that next time you encounter such a issue, you'll know what to do and why that's the thing to do. [05:20] Alright, so I have a question and I don't know where to begin looking. I'm getting error 15 with Grub on boot after upgrading to 11.04. [05:20] tje2: not that I was complaining about a good RTFM.. I'm not the kind to ask for people to do my stuff. I just have to learn new tools in the worst possible moment (indeed). Pointers were all I was asking for [05:21] tje2: btw, I read an article talking about sar, what are your thoughts? [05:21] saalaa__, I know what you mean. I don't mind pointing someone in the direction of a specific tool, I just don't like answering questions about that tool that can be found in the manpages. [05:21] that's the only program I haven't heard of before in the list [05:21] dei2anged: did you google grub, error 15, it looks like file not found [05:21] dei2anged: boot to livecd and you can reinstate grub from there [05:21] Googling has resulted in an incredible wealth of information that has been pretty useless to me since I'm not entirely positive what I should be changing. [05:21] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 today, everything appears to be working properly, I have sound, ACPI, and wifi... And when I go to sound, it recognizes that there is a mic there, however, it seems that my webcam and microphone aren't working properly. Can anyone offer any help? [05:21] dei2anged: are you sure you installed grub on the hd that is booted by your bios [05:21] dei2anged, grub1 or grub2 in either case !grub seems in order [05:21] saalaa__, Often times, the manpages won't tell you the answer to "what program can I use to do XXXXXXX?". So I'll point you to the program that will do task XXXXXX, but then leave it up to them to read thru the documentation to understand it. [05:22] soadkombucha: is it a laptop? [05:22] ActionParsnip, yes. [05:22] saalaa__, sar is a great utility. [05:22] ActionParsnip, I can give you an exact model number if you need one. [05:22] All I did was hit, Upgrade ubuntu to Ubuntu 11.04 and it had a pretty pleasant automated progress bar that resulted in Error 15, [05:22] soadkombucha: what make and model and why didn't you add it to the initial quesion? [05:22] dei2anged, this is an older install that has been upgraded a couple times yes? [05:22] saalaa__, Unfortunately, with sar, you have to let it run for some time and collect data. It's not so much a real-time utility so much as a trending or historical analysis tool [05:22] Because I didn't know if it was a common issue with laptops... [05:22] dei2anged: you might try booting from the bios from a different hd if you have more than one? and make sure you have taken out all usb sticks, drives, etc [05:22] escott: indeed [05:22] Toshiba Satellite L500D-ST2543 [05:23] cant remember what that error is when you have a usbstick in [05:23] soadkombucha: ok, does the webcam work in cheese? [05:23] I'll go install Cheese and check it out really quick [05:23] PalinBachman2012: It's booting to the correct drive, I mean, I'm booting to the usb currently so I can ask these questions, lol [05:23] lol [05:23] ActionParsnip: been there done that, my BIOS can boot USB storage ok. but here's the deal, the external hd is from an old laptop, and is being put to use since i dont have an optical drive to burn ubuntu's ISO. and i've been wanting to try it out and reform windows, but i want to use it diferent pcs so i need to use it in a external hd. i tryed to instal ubuntu using unetbootin and universal- [05:23] usb-installer, i formated my external hd to fat 32 but when grub loads a boot error accurs that asks me to ctrl+alt+del the pc indefinetly... [05:23] dei2anged, a few years back they switched from grub1 to grub2 but it was optional. it seems like there may be some issues with grub1 users in 11.04 this is the second i've seen [05:24] yeah, it's been awhile since I updated so it wouldn't surprise me [05:24] dei2anged: like he said, if its nothing like what i described, reinstall grub [05:24] dei2anged, i would get a livecd, chroot yourself inside, install grub-pc and then reinstall grub [05:24] tje2: oh ok, it seems to provide some interesting info though [05:24] hi? need help/ i have ubuntu 11/04 and netbook with 1024 RAM? ubuntu says what i have only 680 RAM how it is possible? [05:24] Hi, how do you clear the list of recent files and folders in Unity's Launcher? [05:24] anyone here know how to install driver for ATI Radeon Xpress 200 card?

It found the camera [05:26] soadkombucha: ok run: lsusb one line will identify the chip used in the cam. Use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [05:26] dlbike76, something a little more userfriendly is apparently in the works [05:26] Yeah, I don't find sar in my repos either... Hmmm. [05:26] what is the definitive answer to why the webcam light is on, but screen is black [05:26] escott: Does it still used the .recently-used.xbel under the covers, or is it all stored in dbus now? === jernux-away is now known as jernux [05:27] dlbike76, its now all in zeitgeist [05:27] PalinBachman2012: voodoo [05:27] anyone know a proper fix for grub being foobar after upgrading from maverick to natty [05:27] ActionParsnip is it posible it has something to do with dualboot?

Those are common [05:28] ActionParsnip, it's not a USB camera... [05:28] ActionParsnip: just need to fix it for next reboot now [05:28] ActionParsnip, It's integrated.

[05:39] yes, boot order is cdrom first [05:39] My CPU is pulling 75% on my octacore i7 with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 x64 and the system monitor shows no particular program doing it [05:40] If I've copied a parition using dd if=/dev/sdh3 of=/media/backup.img . What is the best way to restore it to another drive with a different partition layout that has enough unallocated space? [05:40] and this fresh install of 2 hours ago takes 4 minutes to boot when it used to be about 50-60 seconds [05:40] werkinsheir, try top or htop in a terminal [05:40] look at it there [05:41] escott: that made me crash [05:41] jon8, windows should appear in the menu if os-prober found it run grub-mkconfig, then check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if there is a windows item [05:41] I'm not sure if I like the launcher... I think I might? [05:41] PalinBachman2012, the LD_PRELOAD... bummer it is a little hacky but i'm surprised it oops on you [05:41] if I can even get there [05:41] this is the only program with focus [05:42] okay opened htop. CPU 1&2 maxed with a couple at 50% [05:42] but not a single damn program shows more than 5% cpu utilization [05:42] rage, i think the best way would be to create a partition of the correct side, then dd it back, and then resize the partition. otherwise you might have a fs superblock that doesn't know about the space the partition table allows [05:43] heyyy [05:43] escott: Would du backup.img tell me the correct size? [05:43] can someone help me with a ubuntu 11.04 problem maybe? [05:43] werkinsheir, how many roughly === werkinsheir is now known as darkenvy [05:43] simple for one of you but I am completely lost [05:43] OK is there anyone in here who can help me with a webcam w/ integrated microphone issue? [05:44] 10 perhaps [05:44] rage, maybe. you might also be able to mount it as a loopback and figure out its size that way [05:44] bt wekinsheir [05:44] *initiated by user werkinsheir [05:44] rage, file may even be smart enough to tell you [05:44] darkenvy, start killing a few off [05:44] can I control which paths dash looks for applications in? [05:44] its all nothing [05:44] escott: Good point, I already ahve it mounted -o loop. I'll take a look, ty [05:44] "htop "system manager" xchat" "terminal" [05:44] My screens are way out of my monitor area and I dont know how to delete my NVIDIA settings without seeing my screens [05:44] ?load??? [05:44] all things im using to diagnose [05:45] OK if it helps in Skype, my webcam shows up as "USB2.0 UVC WebCam" [05:45] omg I did nothing and it died down to bare nothing. 5% utilizationn O_o [05:45] rage, someone mentioned a tool called clonezilla earlier today you may want tot try it in the future [05:45] Could maybe switching from pulse to ALSA help? [05:46] AND on boot, I saw this wierd splash screen on 2 of my monitors "NVIDIA beta" [05:46] escott: Unfortunately I didnt make the original copy [05:46] rage, i know just for future needs [05:46] which I never saw before [05:46] darkenvy, what is cpu usage now [05:46] escott: Thanks :-) [05:46] escott: it ws probably just buggy skype, either way, they are both working without the preload thingee [05:46] soadkombucha: That it's a UVC camera is a plus (compatibility). Does the mic for the camera show up in the audio settings? [05:46] right now, back to 90% [05:46] it jumped abck up === xeodox_ is now known as xeodox [05:47] (or, would that be the one built-in mic for the laptop?) [05:47] julian_c, the built in one shows up, but does not accept input [05:47] soadkombucha, pulse should be fine provided you have selected the correct audio input in pulse. you may have multiple mics (built in+webcam) [05:47] I only have one mic [05:47] darkenvy, did you do all the updates after the install [05:47] Greetings guys [05:47] It's webcam/mic integrated together [05:47] how do you bring up terminal in "log-on" screen? is that possible?? [05:47] u sure its not muted [05:47] would this solve this? [05:47] PalinBachman2012, I checked. [05:47] Im sure I did but.... [05:47] i have some weird issue [05:47] ok, lol [05:47] SunshineFolk, ctrl-alt-f1 === r3x is now known as tree-pam [05:47] possibly long shot but possibly [05:48] thank you scott... [05:48] apparently I did not [05:48] hi, i messed with my java packages, and now my system is sort of screwy. whenever i try to install or uninstall any package with pat-get i get the following dependency errors https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff. does anyone know how i can just reset my entire java libs? [05:48] jamiewan, what;s a long shot? [05:48] is clonezilla better than partimage? [05:48] darkenvy, do them and reboot [05:48] 329 updates of 300mb >< [05:48] can you help me further possibly? it should only take a minute [05:48] when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs [05:48] okay ill be back. remember me and my issue momentarily :P [05:48] k [05:48] escott: Please :) [05:48] jamiewan, lemme go make sure it's still showing up in sound... [05:49] SunshineFolk, just ask [05:49] ok thanks [05:49] soadkombucha, a long shot is a "small chance" of something working === wongo888_ is now known as wongo888 [05:49] jamiewan, under sound, it shows up as internal audio 1 output/1 input analog stereo duplex [05:49] the input shows up [05:49] Unmuted [05:49] With options [05:50] soadkombucha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:50] But is not accepting input [05:50] I was messing with NVIDIA settings, and somehow my screens are way off of my monitor area, WAY off.. I cannot access NVIDIA settings now to reset them [05:50] any ideas?? [05:50] SunshineFolk: try using alt-tab? [05:50] soadkombucha, i dont recall your problem can u repeat [05:50] one sec :) [05:50] webcam mic ??? [05:51] jamiewan, yeah. [05:51] eh that probably wont work [05:51] what type of cam [05:51] jamiewan, Recognized, but black screening on video and not accepting mic input [05:51] downloaded.... installing... [05:51] jamiewan, USB2.0 UVC WEBCAM/MIC integrated [05:51] lucid hangs on package install specifically on unpacking replacement blah, happens very rarely with random packages any ideas? [05:51] SunshineFolk, can you see any part of the nvidia settings [05:51] 04f2:b128 is the ID on it from lsusb... Can't remember the name of the company. [05:52] is there a possiblity im being hacked right now? [05:52] no not at all [05:52] escott: negative... Only the far left side of my screen.. from there, once I bring up terminal to try and delete settings I cannot see it at all [05:53] SunshineFolk: did you try simply rebooting [05:53] well the far left of what would be the far left if it was regularly showing...So basically its showing on my far right side all messed up [05:53] SunshineFolk, can you pan the screen (more the mouse to the edge and keep moving it like you want to move it off the screen) [05:53] darkenvy, i'd be waiting to ask ActionParsnip when he returns, he's da man but i can assure you you're not being hacked [05:53] yes... I did a root settings apply.. So it is stuck! [05:53] what is cmd to delete settings from "log-in" screen? would that work like that... cause its perfect on that screen [05:54] jamiewan, any ideas? [05:54] hi all [05:54] error connection activation failed device not managed by networkmanager [05:54] I think removing xorg.conf from single user should work. I think ubuntu no longer needs it and it is only for nvidia config. can anyone confirm this? i don't want to mess up SunshineFolk's system [05:54] can someone help me out pls? [05:55] screen wont pan at all.. and when I "alt-ctrl-arrow" it shows nice working screens, but when I try to bring terminal up in one, it reverts me back to the messed up one [05:55] soadkombucha, you might be able to fix your builtin mic with hda_analyzer (assuming you have intel hda) but you need to pick the other mic to use the camera mic. if pulse won't let you do that, use alsa [05:56] soadkombucha, checked alsa mixer settings? [05:56] SunshineFolk, i would see if there are modes in your /etc/xorg/xorg.conf and prehaps remove them [05:56] thanks someh4x0r...That may work I believe. [05:56] jamiewan, it's pulse [05:56] jamiewan, I checked the sound settings yes. [05:56] soadkombucha, are you using skype [05:56] so rm~ /etcxorg/xorg.conf? [05:56] I checked it in Skype. And Cheese. [05:57] Nothing. [05:57] SunshineFolk, better to move it to xorg.conf.back [05:57] soadkombucha, tried a mic on its own? [05:57] what would be the cmd for that? sorry [05:57] jamiewan, the mic that I have that plugs into my mic jack won't work either [05:58] SunshineFolk, sudo mv /etc/xorg/xorg.conf /etc/xorg/xorg.conf.backup [05:58] my computer is freezing until I move my mouse or a window [05:58] soadkombucha, input connector set to mic [05:58] IT's not showing up [05:58] input tab [05:58] ok [05:58] That doesn't show up as input [05:58] My integrated mic does [05:59] could this be an nvidia driver thing? I mean I NEVER saw that booting splash screen of "NVIDIA Beta" before [05:59] escott: I will be back after I try this.. goin to other room [05:59] thanks! [06:00] soadkombucha, try record something in sound recorder [06:00] list [06:00] Nothing jamiewan. No levels. [06:01] darkenvy, sounds like you may be under heavy disk io load. have you checked free? maybe you are overswapping [06:02] ok, sound prefs, hardware tab, profile set to analog stereo duplex? [06:02] soadkombucha, ok, sound prefs, hardware tab, profile set to analog stereo duplex? [06:02] escott: wow log-in terminal is crazy! how do I login? haha username, password? === mike is now known as Guest16816 [06:03] I know my password, but what is username? Just my actual username that I choose as id? [06:04] soadkombucha, also just double check the check boxes in mixer again, they are sometimes confusing as to if they are muted or not [06:04] ie the capture switches [06:04] I checked them... They're very simple mute boxes [06:04] SunshineFolk, yes... i was having a hard time figuring out what exactly your question was. the username you picked which is the name of your home folder [06:04] I'm trying to install a package from software manager and I get the message "waiting for other managers to quit" when nothing else is running.. Why is that? [06:05] They're actually checks... That are unchecked. [06:05] yep [06:05] ok thanks.. yes that was my question.. So all lowercase? sorry, Im new to the log in terminal [06:05] SunshineFolk, Linux is case-sensitive [06:06] ok brb [06:06] SunshineFolk, traditionally usernames are all lowercase, but if you made yours uppercase you would have to put it in that way [06:06] escott, Ubuntu doesn't allow uppercase usernames? [06:07] soadkombucha, i don't know, i've never tried [06:07] I will try both, cause one only let me use all lowercase, and then another on setup let me use both. [06:07] I don't believe it does. [06:07] hmmmm, ever since I upgraded to 11.04, my video is choppy inside firefox.,.. like youtube video. Lots of white blocks appear all over the screen while a video is playing. [06:07] Any ideas? [06:07] manlymatt83, thats a common compiz related issue [06:07] soadkombucha, i dunno mate, hang about someone will be successful if you keep asking, [06:08] Of course one thing isn't working like always. [06:08] At least this time it's not my entire ACPI layer,. [06:08] I think usernames are lower case. [06:08] manlymatt83: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash [06:08] soadkombucha, so the pulseaudio control doesn't let you select the mic for the camera under the input section [06:09] ActionParsnip, It might be a little easier to replace all of those dpkg|grep commands with: dpkg -l | egrep -i 'swf|flash|gnash' [06:09] soadkombucha, Ask ActionParsnip mate, he's the man about channel :-) [06:10] tje2: thanks [06:10] manlymatt83: use a pastebin to host the text [06:10] yes it was lowercase.... but no file directory found [06:10] ActionParsnip, no problemo. ;) [06:10] could I simply remove it? Or would that be worse problems? [06:10] SunshineFolk, sorry its /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it exists) [06:11] thanks...brb [06:11] SunshineFolk, i wouldn't remove it, just rename it [06:11] http://pastebin.com/U6UKNVq4 === Guest66325 is now known as ssfdre38 [06:11] I have two vidoe cards in my machine: integrated and discrete. The discrete one is better, but I locked onto the integrated one for better battery life... and the videos worked fine in 10.10 [06:12] ActionParsnip, have you been using gnash? does it work well enough for most stuff? [06:12] when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs [06:12] any idea? [06:13] MagePsycho, look the other way lol [06:13] Sorry ActionParsnip, I didn't tag your name. ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/U6UKNVq4 [06:13] what can be the issue [06:13] when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs [06:14] ok let me get this right.... sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf ....if correct, no file exists [06:14] MagePsycho, nothing i wwould say, my machines usually do something like that also [06:14] no performance issues [06:14] SunshineFolk, yeah i'm not sure where the nvidia settings app is putting that mode preference. maybe it is in /root/ [06:15] MagePsycho, latent power or current on and off, you are not alone i can assure you [06:15] I will check [06:15] MagePsycho, its just bringing up and down the graphics card and you are probably seeing whatever random junk was in the memory buffers. just don't logout :) [06:17] still waiting for updates to finish installing [06:17] anyone here ever coded their own OS? [06:17] escott: still, nothing... I dont recall seeing root earlier before it when I was saving X file or whatever, just / then idk [06:18] SunshineFolk, i'm afraid i don't use nvidia so I don't know where it keeps these preferences... maybe someone else knows sorry [06:18] hey, i'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.04, at one point it gives a warning that "/dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possible by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is thi [06:18] whats the best dvd ripper to download? [06:18] s a GPT partition table?" when i click either option, yes or no, it doesn't do anything. i'm installing from a usb stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [06:19] maj dd: [06:19] ? [06:19] but if I remove, couldnt I simply go back in and create settings again, which would start me back over? [06:19] manlymatt83: let me see [06:19] in good condition? [06:19] adam61, you could use gdisk to create a protective msdos partition [06:19] dzup: huh [06:19] maj-: man dd [06:19] SunshineFolk, remove what? the xorg.conf, I though you said it didn't exist [06:19] dzup: That he already has. But I guess you are trying to answer an unanswerable question. [06:20] ActionParsnip: http://demonic.cc/?p=60 [06:20] manlymatt83: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash [06:20] ActionParsnip: That looks like exactly what I'm having [06:20] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer [06:20] tei guess forme that works [06:20] manlymatt83: try 64bit flash, its a bit cleaner on 64bit systems [06:21] is ppa:sevenmachines a safe repo? [06:21] I know it does exist, its just where its at is the question... would simply rm~ xorg.conf ... remove it? [06:22] SunshineFolk: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:22] SunshineFolk, i wouldn't recommend removing it. it might have other stuff necessary to make your display work in any capacity [06:22] manlymatt83: I use it, it's great [06:22] SunshineFolk, just move it to xorg.conf.backup, and restart gdm. if everything works then you can safely remove it [06:22] SunshineFolk: use: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old [06:22] thanks! [06:23] SunshineFolk, if it all blows up in your face you can more selectively edit it to remove the offending sections [06:23] escott: SunshineFolk Nothing is gonig to blow up, just rm it. [06:24] ActionParsnip: worked, thaqnks! [06:24] what is hardware acceleration. ? is that the cause of blurry fonts? [06:24] haha.. I will try actionParsnips first.. Thanks to all [06:25] MagePsycho, open the appearance application and adjust your fonts [06:25] manlymatt83: np :) [06:26] why doesn't ubuntu recognize a blank dvd when inserted but does a cd [06:26] manlymatt83: there is a ppa with 64bit java too. Usually the OS uses 32bit plugins via nspluginwrapper [06:26] Also, is it the end of the world if I remove zeitgeist? [06:26] ActionParsnip: OK, I will look at that! [06:26] The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: nspluginwrapper [06:27] yeah, looks like it :) [06:27] it's being annoying and mistaking folders for downloads, etc. [06:27] OK I'll come back to my problem tomorrow... For now I'm gonna go to bed before it drives me nuts [06:27] (zeigeist) [06:27] :o [06:29] manlymatt83, zeitgeist is pretty deeply hooked into unity [06:29] i just ran fdisk and wrote the changes to disk but when adding the new partition with type FD to a raid i get a message that the partition appears to have a ext2fs on it. may i safely ignore this message or how do i resolve it? [06:30] Ok, so no file for mv OR rm... I am so confused.. [06:30] draven, are you trying to convert from ext# to mdadm with ext# [06:30] Hi I upgraded to Natty and it looks like I lost hardware acceleration for the UI... like for example I my terminal windows can no longer have true transparently, menus don't fade in and out and so on. Also I don't have an "Effects" tab in System > Preferences anymore. Could anyone help out? [06:31] sraw: upgrade driver? [06:31] escott, i set the partition type fd (raid auto) i'm trying create a new raid but was told that the partition i just created already has a filesystem on it of type ext2fs [06:31] SunshineFolk, the xorg.conf was a guess I'm not sure that is where nvidia puts its configuration info === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [06:32] I will google and get back with you [06:32] SunshineFolk: everything has been fully updated [06:32] YES updates finished [06:33] im going to go see if this fixes the 95% CPU utilizatyion thing [06:33] brb [06:33] escott: okay, thanks [06:33] Looks like if I put my Downloads dir back (I had removed it because I don't like using the default locations) it isn't freaking out anymore [06:33] why doesn't ubuntu recognize a blank dvd when inserted but does a cd [06:34] manlymatt83, its best to symlink those folders to where you want them rather than delete them [06:34] is there like a setting somewhere that makes Ubuntu revert to not using hardware acceleration for its UI? [06:34] otherwise they just keep coming back [06:34] draven, it might be because you first created it as ext2... i really have no idea. i would mount the partition and see if there is anything you need in it first [06:35] escott, there's nothing in there i need, just wanted to be certain that it wouldn't cause an issue later. [06:35] jamiewan [06:35] you there? === werkinsheir is now known as darkenvy [06:36] sraw: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace and you will use 2D desktop [06:36] draven, if you don't need the partition feel free to blow it away [06:36] #ubuntu you rock! [06:36] ActionParsnip: by 2D desktop what do you mean exactly? [06:36] jamiewan thank you [06:36] Ive been using x11 instead of X11....hmmm. bingo? [06:36] sraw: do you have unity desktop working? [06:37] ubuntu clearly has way more support than windoze and especially Macintosh with its "applecrap plan" [06:37] sraw: no 3D effects [06:37] what is your guy's inititive? why help out others? [06:37] how do i install a gui to ubuntu sever? [06:37] what do you guys get out of this service? [06:37] PalinBachman2012: No. First time I started Natty, it started with Unity, everything seemed fine, but on reboot it disappeared. Then after updates it reappeared again, and now its disappeared. [06:37] darkenvy: sadly hardware manufacturers only support windows and mac in a lot of cases, the community has provided a lot of great drivers to compensate :) [06:38] darkenvy: why not? [06:38] sraw: if you had unity, then you had hw accelleration [06:38] darkenvy: because we want to help people and it's fun :) [06:38] darkenvy: strengthening the community [06:38] darkwe planning to take bill gates in arrest mode [06:38] yes but have you ever had to call apple? they denide me support ebcause I didnt pay for support in their package [06:38] PanelBachman2012: Yeah but what happened to it :( [06:38] ActionParsnip, right ALOTT :) [06:38] I LOVE IT! [06:38] darkenvy: people help people, who then help other people [06:38] what a great future we are building [06:38] sraw: if you are not choosing classic ubuntu from GDM, then it is prob a driver issue [06:38] darkenvy, if you'd like you can give me money :D [06:38] lol [06:38] sraw: reinstall your vid drivers... im assuming you have nvidia [06:39] nah, I help out others in #bukkit on the esper network for minecraft [06:39] I give back... just in a different community [06:39] darkenvy: i have [aypal :) [06:39] lol [06:39] PalinBachman2012: I'm inclined to agree with you, but glxgears and all that runs great. Unfortunately I have ATI, and am using the open-source drivers. [06:39] How do I remove Citrix Receiver out of Lucid Lynx? [06:39] but #ubuntu seems much hardeer for not much in return. [06:39] thanks again. im out [06:39] escott: after fixing my STUPID error, would it say anything after hitting enter? or just go back to $ (since last time saying no file) [06:40] sraw: you might want to google for ubuntu + your card model and see if the closed drivers are working for that card [06:40] ati has been getting better, i guess [06:40] escott, please look at my terminal capture, and let me know if i'm okay saying yes. there's nothing on the partition i care about just seems odd that it shows as ext2fs [06:40] escott, link here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/606391/ [06:40] SunshineFolk, sounds like it worked restart gdm service gdm restart [06:41] brb :) please work haha [06:41] PanelBachman2012: They aren't :( ... the card's a couple of years old. But I had Lynx working just fine with the same setup... so it's confusing. [06:42] sraw: then its prob a bug and experienced by others, maybe on launchpad [06:42] draven, i can't really answer that... you are creating md0 from sdb1,c1,d1,e1 and it is telling you that b1 has an ext2 on it. it could be an old ext2 that you don't need in which case say yes. but only you can confirm that [06:42] or whatever ubuntu bugs is called [06:42] escott: sorry for the n00b questions, but cmd gdm restart? or is there more to it, cause it didnt work, or can I simply power off power on? [06:42] escott: you mean like Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc.? [06:43] SunshineFolk, sudo service gdm restart [06:43] sraw: try this... install compiz settings, and see if unity is enabled [06:43] thank youuuu [06:43] manlymatt83, yeah just symlink them to wherever you want to put the files and things will work [06:43] if glx gears works, then unity should work [06:43] PalinBachman2012: I did, Unity is enabled [06:43] escott: what is the Templates directory? [06:44] manlymatt83, its for templates... i think like office templates maybe maybe symlink that one to /dev/null ;) [06:44] and I already deleted them. Is there a way to put them all back? Or do I need to remove my account and re-create. [06:44] escot: thank you thank you thank you!! [06:44] sraw: i never had ati, so IDK, im sorry [06:44] ha ha :) [06:44] is /dev/null web scale and fast? If so, I will use it. [06:44] nvidia FTW! [06:44] perfect! except my duals are gone.. now that is anothe trouble on its own hhaahha. [06:44] PalinBackman2012: yeah, my other computer has nvidia, no issues. I appreciate the help!

Right, but now much more recently I have a rather clean install of the final. Apparently the Gnome 3 ppa can be unstable and such though. and I can try the Gnome 3 final probably from the Fedora 15 release canddiate CD anyway. [08:21] ahriman: What bug are you reffering to?

The silly 10_linux script doesn't find the kernel images so I can't use it. I've tried manually hacking it, and managed to get grub installed but the grub.cfg is completely botched due to UUID mismatches. I tried making one manually but there are tons of lines to edit. You're looking at a 1100+ line config file now! [08:22] Hello everyone :) [08:22] falafell: Is it currently setup? [08:23] ActionParsnip: What does it do anyway, just gives the Gnome 3 log in screen, and Gnome Shell and some of the Gnome 3 tools like the new background changer program, I guess?

[08:23] Jordan_U, it appears that when /boot and / are on different physical partitions the UUID and kernel scripts fail [08:23] As if some kind of resolving is messed up, and when cached - works ok. [08:23] ahriman: tried booting livecd and reinstating grub2 from there [08:24] I checked /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf [08:24] hosangadi_: (1) don't repeat yourself, (2) define "an error" [08:24] both look ok. [08:24] what else shall I check ? [08:24] hey all where do the window 7 winshare folders mount on so i can set up the unix program to access the same file?

[08:25] ActionParsnip, I managed to get grub2 installed, but without a configuration file :P the 10_linux doesn't find the kernel images. If you guys have figured out how to chroot the environment from a livecd to actually find the kernel images and correctly configure the UUID please let me know. [08:25] whats the best way to stop a service from starting at boot up? do i use update-rc.d? [08:25] When I install kdenlive on the computer, and right afterward try to install openshot, it gives an error the dependencies are not fullfilled, ie, openshot needs python 2.5. This happens on ubuntu 11.04 [08:25] ahriman: update-grub has no problem with separate /boot partitions. I don't know to what you are reffering. You implied that there was a bug report, could you give a link if there is one? [08:25] ActionParsnip: was the Gnome 3 ppa quite stable for you or not? I have even read stuff about it not being that stable [08:25] i dont want to go through the KXX or S00 method [08:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/700910 [08:25] Ubuntu bug 700910 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Unable to install GRUB2 to the same device as contains aufs in natty" [Undecided,Incomplete] [08:25] ahriman: my grub skill is low as I single boot. Never had to mess with a bootloader to any huge degree [08:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/703009 [08:25] Who has a Asus t101mt eeepc with ubuntu 11?

When I kill unity-window-decorator I can get complete fullscreen, but not WITH it. I want to fix it, or replace unity-window-decorator [08:26] when i do sudo service whateverservice stop,, the service still comes back after reboot [08:26] ahriman: uh this may be useful or not, but here goes anyway [08:26] !grub2 | ahriman [08:26] ahriman: 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) [08:26] OttifantSir, just login with classic environment? [08:26] hey all where do the window 7 winshare folders mount on so i can set up the unix program to access the same file? [08:26] falafell: I have. [08:26] reading docs now sebsebseb , will keep checking in here. [08:26] Hulds: what do you mean by winshare files? [08:27] sebsebseb: i use guake to launch apps so was fine as I hardly touched it. Not many crashes in gtk apps tbh. You? [08:27] i mounted winshare folders from my windows 7 computer on my unix box [08:27] He means a shared folder from the network. I think [08:27] I have deleted everything Unity, except for unity-window-decorator [08:27] OttifantSir: I have "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator" in my Command field in CompizConfig window decoration. [08:27] Hulds: in a subfolder in ~/.gvfs [08:27] ActionParsnip: nope not tried installing the Gnome 3 ppa yet, I will eventually, but may hold off on doing that for a while yet. not sure yet [08:28] ActionParsnip: installing again I should say, because like I said I treid in the beta 2 where things went wrong [08:28] help quote "The main menu file, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, is not meant to be edited, even by 'root'." NO KIDDING. [08:28] hosangadi_: exact error msg please [08:28] OttifantSir: I am using unity,not ubuntu classic. [08:28] anyone could help me setup a mailserver please ?

[08:29] vaxinated: So do I. But it won't start. It always starts unity-window-decorator, no matter what [08:29] ActionParsnip: I was mainly wondering about what it does exactly, and how stable it is, that's all really [08:29] ahriman: its because its generated by update-grub using the grub config files [08:29] hi, can someone please take a moment to help me install wifi usb stick? [08:29] hello, i was wondering if the unity bar is moveable somewhere else as in double screen it's very annoying ? [08:29] loopingz: no don't think so [08:30] OttifantSir:Do you have "CompizConfig Settings Manager"? [08:30] Hi there! [08:30] loopingz: unless you completly remove the Unity bar I guess, so both screens [08:30] loopingz: which you probably can't quite do anyway [08:30] Is there a tool to delete and cull the older kernel/boot files from grub? [08:30] think i'll go back to my old gnome :) [08:31] vaxinated: Yes, and I have checked every module and set compiz-decorator in Window Decor (I'm Norwegian, so perhaps not right), but no luck [08:31] okay found it... thanks... another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box? [08:31] loopingz: well yeah there's still Ubuntu Classic Desktop just about, that will go bye bye with 11.10 [08:31] Guys, I keep facing the [Errno 5] Input/output error every time I try to install natty. Checked the CD from the menu and it seems to be burnt correctly. What to do? [08:31] loopingz: as far as I know its coded in so will need changing there. I've heard dual monitor users switching to gnome classic [08:31] it's a pity as i think unity seems not enough customizable for now [08:31] loopingz: maybe you should try Gnome Shell, if you haven't already :) [08:31] Unity sux [08:31] usb333: test ram [08:32] OttifantSir: My settings are under "Effects", "Window Decoration". [08:32] I got "Disk / is not ready or not present" error, but in /etc/fstab the UUIDs are identical with blkid UUIDs [08:32] ActionParsnip: is it the 'test memory' option? [08:32] got a problem with the install of RTL8187B driver for my usb wifi stick, can someone help me or no? [08:32] please [08:32] arvat, it's a lot of job to do those kind of dev so don't say it sux say only that it's not fit ur needs [08:32] ActionParsnip, right, but the script /etc/grub.d/10_linux completely fails to find the kernel. [08:32] loopingz: the new interface from upstream Gnome, and so the real interface, for Gnome 3 [08:33] Whitenoise__: run: uname -a to see the current kernel [08:33] okay found it... thanks... another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box? [08:33] vaxinated: Mine too, but I'm Norwegian with Norwegian locale, and I don't always translate Norwegian into the correct module [08:33] arvat: it will improve over time, and then more and more other distro's will probably provide it as an option as well :) [08:33] OttifantSir: Can you "disable" WIndow Decorations? [08:34] !gnome3 | loopingz [08:34] loopingz: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. [08:34] ActionParsnip, OK - I know my current kernel... [08:34] vaxinated: Done. No title bars. Or any decoration for that matter. [08:34] Whitenoise__: run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 to see installed kernels [08:34] is there a way, i can give all permissions to a dir, and all the subfolders in there? [08:34] nobody? [08:34] OttifantSir: does that fix your problem? [08:34] thank you anyway [08:35] vaxinated: No. [08:35] ActionParsnip, Gotcha, and do dpkg --purge on the unwanted? [08:35] * szal looks at Inside_duck and thinks: impatient kiddies.. [08:35] vaxinated: I want decorations, I just don't want to see the title bar of the window behind when I watch something in fullscreen [08:35] ahriman: Can you explain your exact situation? How are you booting the live environment? Why do you need a separate /boot/ partition? [08:36] The open source nvidia 3d drivers have been pretty flawless for me. How are the open source 3d ati ones? [08:36] szal: sorry [08:36] Been doing a lot of google searching over the past couple hours looking for a good high resolution webcam with a built in usb mic to order for work. I've got a logitech 9000 pro at home I've been happy with. Can anyone recommend me a couple more cams I should look at that work well with maverick? [08:36] Whitenoise__: you can remove installed kernels but not the running one. Use software centre or apt-get to remove [08:36] Looking for 720P+ at as high framerate as possible. [08:37] ActionParsnip, cool, thanks... [08:37] !webcam [08:37] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:37] Flynsarmy: yeah the open source Nivivda drivers are pretty good now really, as for ATI uhmmm I think open source ATI drivers are ok now really most of them, because as far as I know ATI has been open sourceing stuff even [08:37] OttifantSir: Does it happen with other movie players besides VLC? [08:37] Jordan_U, sda1=winxp sda2=boot sda3=logical sda5=root sda6=swap sda7=home. This is a fairly typical configuration that was recommended because /boot needed to occur within so many GB of disk space to be loaded on many systems. It became a habit that maybe isn't necessary anymore. [08:37] Flynsarmy: not really that sure about ATI though ^ [08:37] While the wiki page is nice and all, it's not opinion; just 30 pages of dry information. [08:38] okay found it... thanks... another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box? [08:38] ahriman: I would try without that separate /boot/ as a work around. [08:38] Asking for subjective opinion of the 1600 people in the channel. [08:38] vaxinated: It happens with ALL windows. If I go to fullscreen in Opera, I see the title bar of the window behind it. Same with Totem, Transmission, Arista, LibreOffice, Cheese, etc etc [08:38] ahriman: How are you booting the live environment? [08:39] do I need to create/self-sign a client certificate for openvpn? I'll be the only one to connect [08:39] Kamilion: why do you want opinion. The lists show what works and what doesn't [08:39] OttifantSir: Until we find the solution, try to change your "workspace" to one with no other windows. [08:39] For example, the logitech listing doesn't even show the maximum capture resolution -- which is640x480 on maverick for my 9000, not 1280x720. [08:40] Inside_duck: no unsolicited private chats please [08:40] Hey everyone! I'm having difficulty with installing photoshop with wine. Can anyone help me? [08:40] vaxinated: Can you tell me how I can purge my system of Unity completely? unity-window-decorator is the last remnant. Where's it hiding? [08:40] Neirad: Which version? [08:40] Jordan_U, I already copied the contents of /boot to / and edited the /etc/fstab. Still fails. I'm going to try and do the chroot environment install of grub and see if 10_linux can succeed that way. This is a total botch tho because making /boot for a long time was required and anyone with multiple locations = failed UUID mappings and failed grub install often rendering the machine into a brick [08:40] So, anybody have good experiences with a 720+ webcam in maverick or natty? /query me if you don't feel like cluttering the channel. [08:41] Kamilion: logitech refuse to support Linux, the community has made a driver and that's what it does u [08:41] OttifantSir: Why not use "Ubuntu Classic". It is the GNOME desktop instead of Unity. [08:41] @seb of photoshop? or wine? [08:41] Neirad: of Photoshop [08:41] ok :( think i'm just gonna leave this OS on the corner... [08:41] Neird: check the appdb [08:41] !tab | Neirad [08:41] Neirad: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:41] vaxinated: I AM! BUT UNITY-WINDOW-DECORATOR IS STILL RUNNING! [08:41] OttifantSir: Terminal ftw ;) [08:41] !caps [08:41] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:41] Neirad: ActionParsnip Good luck with appdb I find it quite useless most of the time! [08:42] sebsebseb: It's version Cs4 [08:42] Jordan_U, I'm currently booting LiveCD in order to make changes to the file system, and adding a second USB key to migrate files if required. The same drive config worked fine in 10.10 but fails miserably in 11.04 [08:42] OttifantSIr: so you are using gnome and not unity desktop? [08:42] Drake|: Yeah, wish I had the skills necessary [08:42] Neirad: right yeah that's probably it then [08:42] ahriman: The bug you linked to only occurs when you are loading the live system from the same partition you are installing grub to, which is not common at all. It does not occur for most people who have a separate /boot. [08:42] Neirad: take Photoshop 7 for example, that is bound to work rather well in Wine === asraniel__ is now known as asraniel [08:42] vaxinated: Yes, I've told you so earlier [08:42] Neirad: ,but the rather latest versions, well they won't work that well in it [08:42] sebsebseb: sometimes has some nice settings [08:42] Neirad: http://appdb.winehq.com/ [08:42] !appdb [08:42] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [08:42] Neirad: altough it seems from what I read not that long ago, that Adobe may even eventaully port Photoshop natively to Linux :) [08:42] ActionParsnip: If by 'refuses to support' you mean 'sporadic wall-chucking of code', I'd say, yeah. http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/libwebcam/ [08:42] Sebsebseb: do you know if dreamweaver works at all? [08:43] ahriman: OK, you are booting from a physical spinning CD? [08:43] OttifantSir: Have you tried the "Unity" desktop to see if it does the same bleeding through effect? [08:43] Neirad: again depends on the version. also with Wine it can depend on how you set things up how well an app works or not [08:43] OttifantSir: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 <--- Just start :) will come in time.. Im currently not an expert.. Yet :) [08:43] Neirad: and playing around with wineconf isn't realy for the average user, but luckily ther are programs that can help do that kind of thing for you, such as playonlinux mainly for games, and uhmm winetricks [08:43] As I mentioned, I've spent all afternoon trying to find decent cams that work well with maverick. [08:43] ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, but I got frustrated with him asking me for the fifth time to do something I've told him I've done [08:44] !winehq | Neirad [08:44] yeah, weechat rule! ) [08:44] Neirad: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [08:44] Sebsebseb: Hmm..yeah I have been reading a few tutorials but I run into a deadend when I go to run the installer, it freezes up or just plain won't run [08:44] hi, people. ) [08:44] If anyone can give me a better recommendation than 'buy more 9000s since yours works fine', I'd love to hear it. [08:44] Neirad: well why you want Photoshop and Dreamwaver so bad anyway? we do have alternaives :) ok sure they don't quite have as much features as the propritary programs, but even so are pretty good [08:44] Kamilion: they don't make drivers and expressed zero interest in starting. Kodak are the same. I suggest you avoid companies not supporting Linux but that's me [08:45] I'd love to. If someone could recommend me a good 720p camera! Haha [08:45] Sebsebseb: because I've very familar with them and I need them for a project for school xD [08:45] Neirad: Ok how much RAM you got? [08:45] Neirad: also ask in #winehq [08:45] vaxinated: Yes, I tried that POS, logged out, logged in classic, removed everything unity with Synaptic, yet unity-window-decorator is there, ruining my experience. I believe it's because I no longer run Unity, and Unity's default is to blame (Title bar and menu bar on same space) [08:45] Sebsebseb: Only 2gb :O [08:46] Neirad: yes I am thinking maybe you can virtual machine them, if you don't want to just use a pshyicall install of Windows for it, yeah with 2GB you can maybe do what I am suggesting, I guess to some extent would depend on other hardawre you got as well though, but worth a try [08:46] falafell: Is your USB currently setup by unetbootin / startup disk creator or have you modified it since that? [08:46] !virtualbox | Neirad [08:46] Neirad: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [08:47] Jordan_U, I found something very interesting. /boot which is /dev/sda2 contains no kernel whatsoever [08:47] ahriman: Are you booting from a physical spinning CD? [08:47] Sebsebseb: So you're suggesting that I install windows on a different partition again? I'm not familiar with virtual box [08:47] Neirad: that factoid needs updating I think, because I think now there's only really one version, and the propritary stuff such as USB support can be added. By the way it's ok to use Windows still for some programs really, Linux distro' are meant to replace Unix rather fully, not Windows. [08:47] Neirad what type of photoshop? [08:47] Kamilion: look at what is known to work then research if it does what you want. That's why i gave the webcam factoid [08:48] Jordan_U, no, I'm using unetbootin generated LiveCD to boot and make edits. [08:48] I'm almost done with the creation of the chroot [08:48] ahriman: So it's a liveUSB? [08:48] Neirad: Virtualbox allows an OS to run inside an OS [08:48] Neirad: works rather well except for 3D programs for example [08:49] depending on hardware to an extent as well of cousre === y is now known as Guest69944 [08:49] do I need to create/self-sign a client certificate for openvpn? I'll be the only one to connect [08:49] Neirad: with 2GB RAM, you got more than enough for a virtual machine though :) [08:50] ... Sheesh, I should have just searched youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJVa_ltM9mw [08:50] Jordan_U, correct. And I'm missing /bin/sh in the installed version [08:50] The logitech C910 for $99 works, and does 1280x800 out of the box, with audio. === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL [08:50] sebsebseb: yikes. Ram drain. Ubuntu + virtualbox + windows + photoplop better have some grunt to drive all that [08:50] Time to order four. :D [08:50] ahriman: Is the USB drive that you setup with unetbootin, and are booting the live environment from, the same drive you are installing Ubuntu and grub to? [08:51] ActionParsnip: well like I said to Neirad it's woth try, as in it may not work that well, but worth a try [08:51] ActionParsnip: w/ 2 GB you can even run out of space w/o all that stuff ;) [08:51] ooh, nice, newegg's got 'em for $75. [08:51] ok I keep ssh-ing into other computers, then I come back and they've timed out. Can you actually restart or kill the session via a key combination? [08:51] Jordan_U, USB to do setup is /dev/sdb and i'm installing to /dev/sda [08:51] ActionParsnip: at least w/ the "heavy" UIs [08:51] or do you just have to kill the gnome terminal? [08:51] ahriman: Then you are not experiencing the bug you linked to. [08:52] ahriman: What problem are you having specifically? What command are you running and what error message are you seeing? [08:52] Neirad: off topic now really, but uhmm if it's true that you really need Photoshop for school that's quite stupid really, because ideally they should be teaching you how to make graphics in more than one program, and then letting you also choose what to use :) [08:54] auto eth0 do not appears in connection in ubuntu10.04 [08:54] it looks like the apt system failed :/ I'm missing doc-base. I should be able to repair this but I need to go offline to do it [08:54] Jordan_U, it looks like the apt system failed :/ I'm missing doc-base. I should be able to repair this but I need to go offline to do it [08:55] sebsebseb: unfortunately education is most often not "ideal".. I was in a job training programme some time ago & they refused to deal w/ OOo because "that's not what companies use in their daily business" [08:55] There's just a TON of packages missing, some weirdness with the usb image perhaps. I don't even *have* a kernel inside /boot [08:55] szal: yeah I know, most Eductional Establishments and work places for that matter, are very much so locked into propritary software [08:56] Going offline, the grub doc helped === Nick is now known as Guest22461 [08:56] <_joey> i've got ppp connection going through network connection that come with gnome. The problem is after a little while /etc/resolv.conf looses nameservers. Upon new ppp connection /etc/resolv.conf is updated with nameserver, after a period of time, the nameservers are gone. The ppp connection is active, however. [08:56] <_joey> this is weird. [08:56] <_joey> has anyone heard anything about this particular problem>? [08:56] !anyone [08:56] 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. [08:57] _joey, you could be weird and do chmod -w /etc/resolv.conf [08:57] !poll [08:57] 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. [08:57] _joey: are you talking about (A)DSL or tunneling/VPN? [08:58] _joey, it is likely strangeness with the DHCP server you're getting your config from but you can override that a little bit clientside [08:58] _joey: or even analog modem dial-up? [08:58] i'm gone... gl [08:58] <_joey> ahriman: why would I need to do that if the application that starts pppd needs to write to resolv.conf [08:58] <_joey> szal: it's wireless umts over 3g link [08:59] when i do sudo service whateverservice stop,, the service still comes back after reboot [08:59] whats the best way to stop a service from starting at boot up? do i use update-rc.d? [08:59] * szal would guess connectivity issues, but no friggin' idea about wifi here [08:59] cache_surplus: chkconfig whaterverservice off [09:00] szal: chkconfig is for redhat, not ubuntu [09:00] but thanks for trying ;) [09:00] also this is a desktop [09:01] what is the keyboard combination to close an ssh session in a gnome terminal? [09:01] cache_surplus: sudo stop "service name" only stops it.. Just like in windows. seems like you need to du a update-rc.d -f to disable it [09:01] <_joey> there is not connectivity issue [09:01] <_joey> as i said, ppp connection is active, I can ping anything using network address [09:01] <_joey> on the internet. it's namservers that disappear from resolv.conf [09:01] Drake|: it appears if i do a disable, its not working, and i get /etc/init.d is not part of that program [09:02] cups for example, disable it,,, stop doesnt work, it just cames back after reboot [09:02] <_joey> I may just manually edit the file and lock it and see what happens [09:02] i dont want cups and many other init.d services, im trying to tighten up security [09:02] this will be a stand alone webcam server, thats it [09:03] but im using desktop... not really gonna dive into server stuff... id rather use freebsd for servers [09:03] cache_surplus: "update-rc.d -f cups remove" [09:03] this doesnt work? [09:04] <_joey> actually, the problem has been discussed on the Internet in the last 6 months [09:04] that will remove the scripts... i dont want them removed, just disabled or shutoff, i will want them later if i need them, and the only way would be to reinstall it, which of course, will reinstall ubuntu-desktop, the deps are horrendiously built in [09:05] <_joey> it appears it hasn't been fixed in the new release [09:05] disable /= remove [09:06] cache_surplus: ref: http://www.unixtutorial.org/2009/01/disable-service-startup-in-ubuntu/ --> The procedure for disabling a service in Ubuntu is very simple: all you have to do is remove the symlinks from all the runlevel-specific directories, /etc/rc*.d, so that no links are pointing to the original /etc/init.d script for your service. That original script will be kept, so you can re-enable the startup/shutdown of the service whenever you [09:06] szal: do you use chkconfig on ubuntu? for all services? i usually use sudo service whatever, but ic your point about chkconfig, i used that on redhat. [09:07] does anyone here know about kernel upgrades? [09:07] i just dont want another way to start/stop services lol [09:07] how can i make a .htaccess file to become visable if i wanna access it throught a ftp? [09:07] can I just upgrade 10.04 to any kernel I want? [09:07] is the ftp anonymous? [09:08] @xmaz [09:08] you may need to update a few helpers when compiling a new kernel. [09:08] Drake|: ic, however, what is the simplier syntax for disable under update-rc.d, its not working although clear. it says not an /etc/init.d script in function, something like that,,, meaning it doesnt work for all scripts lol [09:08] what are 'helpers' [09:08] ? [09:08] stuff like udev [09:08] its like, make up your minds ubuntu devs,,, lol, make it all one way [09:08] things tied tightly to kernel versions [09:08] i guess some come from diff camps, shrugs [09:08] @Kamilion: thanks [09:09] so the official releases are basically guaranteed stable for the software at that release? === dave is now known as Guest67454 [09:09] cache_surplus: tph I haven't tested myself. but according to this guy he do the update-rc.d -f proftpd remove to disable his profftpd service [09:09] ok, enough about that, next question - i just installed openssh-server and i can log in once i have logged in already to that remote box locally at the term, however, i wish to log in remotely, as this will be a headless box, and i dont want a user onsite to have to login locally b4 i can ssh... whats the fix? [09:09] tbh* [09:10] no fix [09:10] dov: yeah, pretty much. Generally the helpers don't often freak out. [09:10] that's how ssh works [09:10] cache_surplus: use sysv-rc-conf to handle services. update-rc.d method will fail after some updated [09:10] ok [09:10] tx Kamilion [09:10] Drake|: your friend must not have those files anymore, unless it just removed the symlinks, as when i tried it, it actually removed those files,, and the symlinks lol [09:10] thanks llutz ill check into that [09:11] dov: If you don't mind me asking, what kernel version are you going to build, for which ubuntu version? [09:11] cache_surplus: I don't have any troubble loggin in to my server at home trough ssh [09:11] that file is not on my box llutz, create one? [09:11] cache_surplus: its a package [09:11] Drake|: i just explained what happend... [09:11] !info sysv-rc-conf [09:11] llutz: ah, ok [09:11] sysv-rc-conf (source: sysv-rc-conf): SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99-6 (natty), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB [09:12] anyone agree with llutz solution? [09:12] cache_surplus: Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/proftpd ... was the command output he got when he "removed" so it seems to just remove the links.. but as I said.. haven't tried it myself =) [09:12] @cache: maybe you are firewalled from the outside. I have a bunch of servers that all work with openssh-server out of the box [09:12] all ubuntu 10 and debian [09:12] Drake|: i did, and it removed everything, i had to reinstall the prog to get it back [09:12] :s sorry to hear that [09:12] dov: sounded like you were building for lucid; if you need a newer kernel for, say, AMD E-350 support or something, not a custom-menuconfig, you can just grab from one of the backport PPAs for lucid: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/kernel-ppa?dist=lucid [09:12] see i might just forget about that program in the future, and go, duh... um.... lol [09:13] thats why i always check from multiple people and sources before i just bang away at the terminal [09:13] ;) [09:13] cache_surplus: sudo apt-get instal ... eeh the program i disabled last mont [09:13] they've got 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 kernels for lucid. [09:13] lol [09:13] cache_surplus: read "man update-rc.d" the part from "A common system administration error is to delete the links with the thought that this will "disable" the service, ..." why i don't recommend update-rc.d to disable stuff [09:13] thanks drake [09:13] i'll try to get 39 for lucid [09:13] btw [09:14] llutz: zackly, thats what i read as well [09:14] thats why im here asking [09:14] would any of you like a feature in a chat client that would scroll the messages down instead of up? [09:14] just out of curiosity [09:14] also, its common fix to change the K00 and S00 numbers as well in all the rc.whatever dirs lol [09:14] lame [09:14] my original question was, the simplest, quickest way [09:15] cache_surplus: once openssh-server is installed, it starts on boot by default in my experience. [09:15] i made a summation statement, just do it one way, everyone seems to do it mulitple ways... i just do want that many holes on the system people can easily navigate about with,,, with all these diff ways to enable/disable services... [09:16] once, when upstart will be grown up, there will be easy tools again, maybe ... or not? who knows [09:16] Kamilion: correct, however, on a clean install there is something i need to do more...i just cant remem at the moment... [09:16] cache_surplus: there's a transition going on, for sysvinit scripts, you'd want to use update-sysv-rc, for upstart scripts, you'd want to use update-rc.d [09:16] llutz: im hoping that is true, it seems mid-stream at the moment [09:16] Kamilion: huh? [09:17] cache_surplus: Copy your ssh public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [09:17] oh got it,, mis read [09:17] hmm [09:17] ? [09:17] that wasnt the fix... copy [09:17] its something else lol [09:17] simplier [09:17] open port 22? [09:17] just cant remem [09:17] hmmm... possible [09:17] i think thats it [09:17] brb [09:17] cache_surplus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:17] map 22 with router [09:18] friggen flood bot lol.. we are all talking about/to/me lol [09:18] In my experinece port 22 is often disabled from ISP. I just opened ex 46003 and routed it to my server on port 22 :) [09:19] odd ISPs you use... [09:19] this isnt 1998 where conserving log space on terabyte storage is an issue anymore ... [09:19] if it's going to a customer's site, give it a static DHCP ip address in their router, map some port to the static internal on port 22. I like 2222 or 32222 or something memorable like that [09:19] I also put my public key and disable password auth [09:19] dov: I have used such a chat & found it awkward, to say the least [09:19] Drake|: this is just local at the moment, i will install the box later, yah i will port forward on the gw when im on site [09:19] denyhosts? [09:20] ok, brb, i think its ufw at this point... [09:20] ahh, firewall policy. [09:20] llutz: well I couldnt access my server on port 22. so had to change it.. but anyway lots of bots scan for open 22 ports. so its anyway better to ruoute it to another port =) [09:20] llutz: and yeah norway has wierd isps :p [09:20] Drake|: or just disable password authentication. They'll leave you alone after about a week to a month. [09:20] i have ubuntu 11.04 and i ahve installed the nvidia drivers version 270.41.06 the settings manager and the nvidia-xconfig seem to not be able to see the busid of my cards any ideas? [09:21] i prefer fail2ban personally [09:21] Kamilion: well it works now. so I'm happy ;) [09:21] cache_surplus: no, it isn't, but using multiple lines for essentially 1 statement is an optical mess [09:21] nope, ufw is inactive [09:21] denyhost's sync is pretty decent, if you remember to stick the right addresses in /etc/hosts.allow just in case [09:21] Any of you guys use VPS hosting? [09:22] szal: at least my lines are consecutive ;) [09:22] what is this annoying thing whenever i start my system http://maketecheasier.com/auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/14 , i even tick the Automatically unlock keyring but on next boot this annoying dialogue appears again. [09:23] Valentine: you're not on Intrepid, are you? [09:23] 11.04 [09:24] your keyring password does not match your account password. [09:24] hi all [09:24] IE, you changed your account password and forgot to change your keyring password. [09:25] Kamilion: no, both are same and i never changed them === quiesense is now known as quiescens [09:25] my login and keyring passwords are same [09:25] y'sure? open up seahorse and check to make sure it's set to automatically unlock the keyring. [09:25] for ufw, is it best to add deny all rule first, then allow? or the converse when adding rules [09:26] Also, are you using wifi to connect? You may be prompted to unlock your keyring when nm-applet starts before seahorse-agent does. [09:27] That can be fixed by setting the 'system' checkbox on that wifi connection. [09:27] yes wifi [09:29] Those are the two main problems that I've run into that result in getting the unlock keyring dialog on login. [09:29] Kamilion: pls explain "That can be fixed by setting the 'system' checkbox on that wifi connection." [09:29] Right click on your network applet in your tray [09:29] next [09:29] properties, wifi tab [09:30] I'm on the look for a script/ftp client that copy files from a local "watch" folder and copy from a remote "watch" folder automaticly.. and preferable only new items. :) [09:30] select the stored wifi connection, there should be a checkbox 'System" in the lower left corner, if memory serves. [09:30] wifi tab or wireless tab? [09:30] wireless. [09:31] if it's not quite right, I'm not at work in front of my ubuntu box. [09:31] there is no system checkbox, instead there is Available to all usrs tick option [09:32] can i exec a arbitrary string, it is not a file but a command being constructed [09:32] Sounds like the one. Tick it and check the next time your reboot if the dialog's gone. [09:32] Available to all users is ticked already [09:32] how do i configure sasl while using openvpn to join #freenode under xchat ? [09:32] dkannan: $(echo "tada!") | grep "tada" | tee ~/tada.txt === quiesense is now known as quiescens [09:34] Valentine: Hm. Well, my apologies, but something else seems to be amiss and I don't know what. [09:35] anyone know ufw very well, and tcpwrappers? [09:36] Kamilion: no problem and thank you so much [09:37] You might want to try resetting both your account password and keyring password anyway. It's possible that might force them back into sync. [09:37] isnt there a man portmap on ubuntu desktop by default? wt... [09:37] Kamilion: does $() create a new subshell or it is like exec. $(echo "tada") does not work for me [09:38] subshell. [09:39] dkannan: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/commandsub.html That should help [09:39] abs is my bash scripting bible usually. === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [09:40] witam :) [09:41] whois speak Polnish :P?

[10:43] hi everybody, i need to run script at boot with ubuntu 10.04, can someone help me please [10:44] xiong: Thunderbird is better but not "that" much better... still heavy and ugly solutions [10:45] There seems to be a fascination with big fat stuff. [10:45] Very un-*ix-like. [10:45] Thunderbird still use Evolution (evolution-data-server) [10:46] xiong: Am with you there [10:46] What about migrating all my mailboxes and accounts from Evolution to Postler? [10:47] Um, there's also a question of the spam filter; I'll bet a dollar to a donut that that can't be migrated and a new Postler install will have to be retrained. [10:47] if you use gmail then imap is the solution... [10:48] No, I have my own domains with their own mail servers. [10:48] But postler are veeeery far from having the same features as Evolution [10:48] Postler are great for casual use.. [10:48] I don't want the same features.

I think this is what you need to update all you machine [11:23] hi Everyone [11:23] or when I use nautilus to copy a file to USB .. it shows the transfer speed [11:23] but id like to know it using terminal [11:23] "Since the commands for controlling U3 devices aren't publicly available, we don't excatly know what we are doing." <- nice nice ^^ [11:23] lol [11:23] folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?

I've removed everything else connected to Unity, even sacrificing a few programs that are dependent on Unity for some reason. [12:10] When I boot from the usb it loads the install screen and when I tell it to install it gives me an error something to the effect "can't find kernel" [12:11] Alphadonk: reboot and run the "test install cd" option [12:11] I just redownloaded the file I'm hoping that will help [12:11] I'm trying to do it by usb at the moment [12:12] I'm going to try this again [12:12] Alphadonk: i gathered, but it still doesn't change how the option is listed [12:12] anyone got an idea on how to debug a system that is between "init" and "rc"?

[12:16] I'll try and boot from cd [12:16] vista is garbage [12:17] Almehdi: ok, yes you r right, there is a "Add CDROM" option in synaptic [12:17] Alphadonk: didn't we know that 4 years ago already? :P [12:18] o.O [12:18] How should I partition it?

I'm configuring an ubuntu box on ec2 and have a question regarding a mount point configuration. [12:23] Almehdi: imho, / should have enough space to take up the entire OS (excluding personal files) + space to grow over time + space to e.g. burn a DVD [12:23] the first question is... do I edit the /etc/fstab file to permanently change the options of a specific mount point? [12:24] szal: The only time i needed above 10gb was when i decided to install an SDK... else i have had plenty of space [12:24] Almehdi: anyhoo, disk space is cheap, so no need to save on it ;) [12:25] szal: Nah... not if you like movies.. then the /home get filled up quickly ;) [12:26] Almehdi: that's another story since it's not OS-dependent :P [12:26] szal: Just got 200 Gb :) [12:27] * szal has one 400 GB partition and running low on space on it [12:27] gotta put some money aside to buy a bigger disk ^^ [12:27] brb [12:27] szal: Me too.... my worst partition was a /boot of 100Mb [12:28] szal: will never do that again ;) === kanoe is now known as kanoe|wander [12:28] the average Joe Desktopuser doesn't need a separate /boot partition [12:30] szal: True... and 100Mb will force you to clean it from old kernels all the time. I did it when i was going to try BTRFS and Grub didn't support it then [12:31] szal: Maybe not, but i would create one anyway, just make sure it's big enough. It's easier to create partitions before the installation than afterwards. === quiesense is now known as quiescens [12:35] hi [12:35] vqxw: sure that, but still I don't see much of a use for a /boot partition aside from server settings, encryption or LVM [12:35] I don't see why anyone needs more than 3 or 4 kernels. (Actually, all you need is one.) [12:35] If someone can help: My Ubuntu 11.04 auto select my second monitor when I plug it in but with bad resolution and refresh so i cannot change it !! why it that so ?? can I clear something or disable something for it not doing so and let me choose the config !!!?? [12:36] I have an overabundance at 4 kernels and my /boot is 61M [12:36] how do i change the computer name (i'm pretty sure i gave one at the install but it ended with a default name) [12:36] usr13: Yeah, but they stock up if you don't clean them manually... [12:36] szal: Well it might be handy to have the boot loader installed on the /boot partition if multibooting [12:37] Mr_O: /etc/hostname [12:37] Oh, I know. But I don't use separate /boot so.. not too concerned. Still don't see the need not to clean house. [12:37] hi, is this a good place to ask about wifi issues with 11.04? [12:37] vqxw: in that case I more fear that the different boot menus are getting in each other's way [12:37] is there any other way to change user's shell to /bin/false withoud manually editing /etc/passwd. I mean is there any command for that? [12:37] vqxw: not to mention Grub1 vs. Grub2 [12:37] Someone should change the kernel installation routine so that no more than three kernels are installd at the same system [12:38] usr13: That was why i did not recommend a 100Mb one... as it could get filled up. === millo is now known as MiLLo [12:38] Antwon: usermod [12:38] I tried upgrading an Ubuntu on a test server from 8.04 to 11.04, but it left the system unbootable, the debug tools I do have tell me that init is running but no other processes, I have full access to all files on the system through a repair mode but could use any hints you might have - syslog contains no messages [12:38] vqxw: iirc, you can configure that somewhere, at least I have seen such an option somewhere in the past [12:39] jatt: thanks [12:39] Hi everyone! Since natty I cannot move the application buttons in the bottom panel (I'm not using unity) If someone has a solution :) [12:40] I'm unable to connect to wifi with 11.04 - It literally just stopped working one day - I turned lappy on, and it just tries to connect to wifi, then says Wireless Network Disconnected. Anyone have any ideas why/solutions? [12:41] albatrossen: can you boot from boot disk and chroot over to the HDs root filesystem? [12:41] hi [12:41] MiLLo: if theres more then 1 kernel in the grub menu, try booting an older kernel and see if it works there. === quiesense is now known as quiescens [12:42] albatrossen: bad idea to jump numerous versions for an upgrade ^^ [12:42] Dr_Willis - I'll be honest, I'm VERY new to ubuntu, and I've not got a clue how to check kernal's etc. I'm 99% positive I'm using GNOME if that makes a difference. [12:42] To compile a program, I need the destination to ssh files. The config assumes them to be in /usr/local/ssl/include - but that folder doesn't exist... any idea where i can find the folder? [12:42] 8.04 -> 10.04 would've been supported, I guess, then 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 [12:43] How can I stop the dekstop and panel from moving when switching walls with the Desktop wall plugin? I've done it before, but I can't remember how. [12:43] MiLLo: when you boot up. theres a list of ubuntu, and windows and so on. If there is more then 1 kernel installed they all should be shown in the list. Newest one first.. try going down the list. You can skip the ones that have (recovery) in the names [12:43] szal: That is why it's not recommended prooceedure. But albatrossen is doing it on a test server, so he is experimenting. [12:43] MiLLo: the grub menu is the first thuing you see after the bios boots. [12:44] testing for the sake of it.. hmm.. ;) [12:44] dr_Willis I only have Ubuntu installed - got totally sick of windows. I turn on my laptop - and 30 seconds later it's booted straight to Ubuntu desktop [12:44] MiLLo: grub is auto hideing.. tap/hold the shift key as it boots. [12:44] * Dr_Willis hates grub auto hideing [12:45] MiLLo: that will show the grub menu. or you can set it where it does not autohide [12:45] * MiLLo starts to see light at the end of the tunnel [12:45] MiLLo: this is just a basic test. IF the kernel update broke somthing.. then using the older jkernel 'should' work.. and point to some bug. [12:45] how you guys do that: me does something... [12:45] * Dr_Willis wonders what simon_PL is talking about [12:45] * Dr_Willis goes /me does this [12:46] ok cool - so sorry to make this seem extremely hardwork. I reboot, press shift - and then do what specifically? [12:46] exactly that [12:46] aww, we could have had fun with him then :P [12:46] hehe [12:46] MiLLo: try the other Ubuntu entryes in the grub menu [12:46] * MiLLo looks at simon from above.. and laughs evilly.. [12:46] :) [12:46] :o [12:46] Dr_Willis: Yes grub auto hide is really stupid... I would say that seeing the grub menu doesn't hurt the user experience. To the contrary when you need the grub menu you don't have to do "special stuff" like holding the shift key to see it [12:46] * simon_PL laming around... [12:46] !ot [12:46] #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! [12:46] cool [12:47] vqxw, change the timeout then [12:47] vqxw: i find to much stuff is done to make things 'better' for the 'idiot' user - that cause even more issues for when you do need to trouble shoot things. [12:47] cool - I'll probably be back in 5 minutes with further questions! [12:47] bazhang: thx [12:47] My grub menu is shown for a big.. 5 sec. i think. :) so what.. heh. [12:47] Dr_Willis: Exactly [12:47] bazhang: Allready done, no problems here [12:48] I would like to see them 'expand' the grub menu to include some basic rescue things. But i guess thats whats recovery mode is for.. [12:48] but the user never even reelizes there is a recovery mode.. [12:48] Anyone got a clue from my screen problem ? [12:48] back in about 5 minutes. cya. thanks for help [12:48] nbourdeau, with randr? [12:49] !xrandr [12:49] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [12:49] :/ [12:50] sigh [12:50] no luck [12:50] how to turn on numlock on boot system-wide (i.e. independently of the DE/WM used)? [12:50] hi all [12:50] is there a way to keep the unity taskbar always open? === lux_ is now known as Guest53589 === Guest53589 is now known as luxx === luxx is now known as luxxx [12:51] luxx: the compiz plugin settings has a option for that. [12:51] !ccsm [12:51] 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 [12:51] i know of xrandr ... the problem is : when i plug in my second monitor, it automatically switch dispaly to it with bad resolution and refresh rate [12:51] install ccsm. check unity settings in ccsm [12:52] so i cannot even use my console !! [12:52] by the way [12:52] i do not use unity [12:52] Has someone any experience in getting bluray to work? I'm currently stuck with DumpHD which doesn't work... [12:52] szal: bios option [12:52] nbourdeau, you are not leaving it attached, but doing so after the system has booted? [12:52] yes [12:53] it should be installed by default Dr_Willis ! [12:54] right now, my laptop is ok with the internal screen. but if i plug in my external monitor, the screen goes black and the display automatically switch to the external monitor [12:54] usr13: sure? [12:54] Can I delete my swap partition? [12:54] luxxx: theres only so much space on a 700mb cd.. [12:54] don't know what to do then to correct screen settings ... [12:54] sss314: Why? [12:54] usr13, to make room for other partitions I need [12:55] sss314: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #Let's take a look [12:55] sss314: if you aren't using hibernation, you can. you always can add a swap-file too, if you need [12:56] nbourdeau: What have you tried yet? Most laptops have a key-combination on the keyboard to switch display settings. Then you could try display settings System->Administration->Display === quiesense is now known as quiescens [12:56] oook.. So, I pressed Tab saw the intiial bios start up screen, nothing like any kernal I could select. and now my cursor no longer works. [12:56] * millo is very sad === millo is now known as MiLLo [12:57] sss314: But swap is only going to give you a small amount of space. There may be a better solution. You may want to shrink some others by a little each. May turn out to be a much better solution. [12:57] nbourdeau: If you wabt to have a picture on both screens at the same time you might not be able to use the maximum screen resolution on both of them. You will most likely have to use the same resolution on both monitors. This is because of driver limitations [12:57] sss314: as llutz states, the short answer is yes you can. [12:57] Dr_Willis - do you have an further ideas? and how to fix my cursor dying? [12:57] usr13, Simply delete it? [12:58] usr13: don't find a numlock setting in the BIOS [12:58] sss314: Yep [12:58] usr13, ok thanks [12:58] sss314: Is this a laptop? [12:59] llutz: He's gone, but just wanted to re-warn him not to use hibernate after deleting swap. Oh well. [12:59] Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. [12:59] !wifi | MiLLo [12:59] MiLLo: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:00] oooh, thanks tic^ [13:00] usr13: in that case, he'll be back "my hibernation broke, help!" :) [13:00] ubuntu classic, what is the default shortcut for maximizing windows? before I could use alt+space+x .. [13:00] MiLLo: Did you try a different kernel? [13:00] I couldn't select any usr13 [13:00] and is there any reason for why emerald --replace segfaults? [13:00] MiLLo: Older kernel? Why couldn't you ? [13:01] MiLLo: Could't get into grub menu? [13:01] I pressed tab - it just showed me my bios boot screen - how many processors etc. Ram. then booted up and now my cursor has died [13:01] i don't want to mirror screens. the key combination on the keyboard did anything. [13:01] MiLLo: I think you just use the down arrow to down the list. [13:01] I found out how to stop the wallpaper from sliding when switching workspaces with the desktop wall. Maybe someone is interested? [13:02] MiLLo: Did you see options for other kernels? [13:02] Guys, can you answer my anonymous form for a reading-related non-profit project? Shouldn't take more than 3 minutes: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEZjc2JOMzIzVlNzcWlwOE1za3hBTVE6MQ [13:02] i want a dual screen setup. it works before ... then this morning not!! [13:02] MiLLo: Ad Dr_Willis suggests, you should try an older kernel first, (the next one down). === quiesense is now known as quiescens [13:03] there wasn't really any list - it just showed me how many processors, Ram, CD drives etc. [13:03] You hit the tab after the bios is done.. :) you may need to tap it like a tapdancer.. [13:03] then within seconds it'd booted [13:03] I tried that the first few times - nothing happened, just booted [13:03] MiLLo: Or just disable the lame hidden grub feture in /etc/default/grub [13:04] #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [13:04] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [13:04] GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 [13:04] Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:04] how do I load terminal with no mouse - just keyboard? [13:04] in that file. change those lines (i think) and rerun sudo update-grub Then you should always see the grub menu [13:04] MiLLo: I think it's Esc or Shift to get to grub menu. Right? Hold Esc while booting. [13:04] How, after having removed everything unity with Synaptic, do I now get rid of unity-window-decorator? I run classic, and when I go to fullscreen in any program, nothing is shown on the title bar position, except the title bar of the window behind. [13:05] OttifantSir: run the gnome-window-decorator instead perhaps.. [13:05] nbourdeau: Try to change the display settings ... System->Administration->... or something like that (don't have an english ubuntu on hand) [13:05] I think thats its name. or was it gtk-window-decorator [13:05] its 'gtk-window-decorator' [13:06] Dr_Willis: And how do I do that? In CCSM I've got /usr/bin/compiz-decorator in Window Decorations, but unity-window-decorator is loaded regardless [13:06] hi all I will receive a thinkpad x201 in 3 days, I am just wondering which version of ubuntu should I install, 10.04.2 11.04? I find quite a lot of people saying there is problem when install 10.04 to x201, so what is your suggestion [13:06] OttifantSir: no idea. You could install/use the fusion-icon program [13:07] for all i know unity-window-decorator is just an alias to the gtk-window-decorator [13:07] Dr_Willis: And what good would that do me? It's just to switch Compiz/effects on or off isn't it? [13:07] ouyes: If I were you, I'd have both on hand and try 11.04 first. [13:08] OttifantSir: fusion icon has other settings [13:08] ok, I've spammed it throughout boot - I can't see any grub menu for me to select anything [13:08] OttifantSir: one of which is to select what 'decorator' to use. [13:08] usr13, ubuntu 11.04 is quite different from its old brothers [13:09] ouyes: Yep. [13:09] is fluendo mp3 codecs the best to use with ubuntu for mp3 support? [13:09] millo: edit your /etc/default/grub and force grub to show up. [13:09] teddyroosebelt, ubuntu-restricted-extras is all that is necessary [13:09] ouyes: But can be modified to be more like one of it's older broters. [13:09] bazhang, much appreciated [13:10] I know of System => Preference => Monitors .... I cannot open it when my screen goes black !! [13:10] Dr_Willis: I saw that in Synaptic just now. But why would the Window Decorations module of Compiz not load the decorator I specify when I kill unity-window-decorator? It says that it will start that decorator if no other is running, but it's still unity-window-decorator starting every time. [13:10] is there an AIO dvd iso for 11.04 or something? [13:10] usr13, since the x201 is quite much like a netbook so I think maybe I should use 10.04 netbook or use 11.04 xfce [13:10] ouyes, thinkwiki may have more info [13:11] falafell, whats AIO === quiesense is now known as quiescens [13:11] all-in-one [13:11] all versions in one installer [13:11] falafell, not that I know of, no. [13:11] bazhang, you are always kind to people [13:11] ok I managed to resolve my problem. for sharing here is what i did : 1) prepare this line in the console : xrandr --output VGA1 --off --output LVDS1 --auto 2) plug in the external monitor 3) press enter when the screen goes fuzzy 4) then i was able to set configuration correctly [13:11] What was the netbook install called??? Can't remember? [13:11] hmm i just hooked up a cdrom drive, tried to install from alternate cd, but about 60% it asks for the normal amd64 cdrom [13:11] Has someone any experience in getting bluray to work? I'm currently stuck with DumpHD which doesn't work... I just want to watch the br i just purchased... [13:11] usr13, une but its gone now [13:12] it seems that gnome-display-properties automatically selects bad refresh rate ... [13:12] !une [13:12] Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [13:12] bazhang: Thanks, that is what I wanted ouyes to see. [13:12] hi there [13:13] it possible to ask some questions here about gnome3 ppa ? [13:13] usr13, bazhang thanks to both of you, ubuntu 11.04 is amazing , so beautiful, I am now running it [13:13] yannski, its unsupported here [13:13] ouyes: YOu could have 10.04 une on hand if you like, it's an option. [13:13] bazhang: that's what I thought :' thx [13:13] yannski, contact the maintainer is your best bet [13:14] nicofs, to work? you want to run it from dvd player or rip it. mplayer has had bluray support for a while now [13:15] bazhang, currently, i don't want to rip - watching will do - but i can't open it with mplayer (or i am too stupid)... [13:15] What is the command for set ubuntu not to ask password when I log in? (turn on the computer) [13:15] ahma, set it to auto-login? [13:16] hello people [13:16] bazhang, but how? [13:16] ahma, not in users&groups ? [13:16] ahma: It's in gdmsetup if you're looking for a gui way [13:17] may i ask your help about a bad overheating issue? [13:17] bazhang, but I want command [13:17] ahma, no idea then [13:19] mrv: yes [13:21] hi, everyone. [13:21] jason888: Only me here it seems :) [13:21] my gpu is constantly overheating, with an average temperature between 90 and 105 celsius after 10 minutes of work - and for work i mean browsing, because flash apps and videos are freezing from the start [13:21] hi [13:21] what's the meaning [13:21] Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? [13:21] ylmfos, ubuntu support [13:21] i'm a new comer [13:21] mrv: Is the fan spinning?

Does this happen with other OSs ? [13:22] What is the command for set ubuntu not to ask password when I log in? (when turn on the computer) I need a command way because from "users and group" option seems not to work [13:22] which improves the fan usage [13:22] hi [13:22] ylmfos, hi [13:22] can you hear me [13:22] the card is nvidia geforce gt230m [13:22] /join #ubuntu-cn [13:22] ubuntu 11.04 can support x220? [13:23] ylmfos, ubuntu support question? [13:23] and i don't know about other os, cause i just have ubuntu on this machine [13:24] also my other hp pc with windows vista overheats, but i will first try the bios update thing since in windows it's much more easy === quiesense is now known as quiescens [13:24] i was thinking about opening the case and cleaning the fan [13:24] and i definitely will do it soon [13:24] I have an encrypted home folder in case my laptop gets stolen, but I'd like to have a separate encrypted folder that requires a password different from my login for more sensitive things like financial documents. Anyone know how I would do this? [13:25] but i guess it will not solve the issue [13:25] mrv: HP laptops have a reputation for overheating [13:25] mrv: may be the manufacturer's fault [13:25] i heard about it... [13:25] but there is another thing [13:26] jockey-gtk tells me that the nvidia proprietary driver is installed but not in use [13:26] and i don't know how to enable it [13:26] mrv: enable it then [13:26] mrv, I get the same === joshua__ is now known as JoshuaL [13:27] But unity runs which means it really is enabled(?) [13:27] unity runs [13:27] and unity compatibility is ok [13:27] And unity can't run without hardware accel [13:28] Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? [13:28] I think it's just a presentation issue, but im not sure. [13:28] Hi, Im wondering how to mount an iso and then running a install file on it? [13:28] until i had maverick or karmic installed i hadn't such serious overheating issues [13:28] HappyHoward: To see what is running type ps -e in a terminal [13:29] Oh I wasn't asking :) but thx anyway [13:29] now i wonder how long my pc will continue operating until everything will burn like a pile of old leafs [13:29] doc`: sudo mount -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /path/to/folder [13:29] HappyHoward: :) [13:30] Travis-42, truecrypt will work just fine for that [13:30] mrv: I think the shutting off is protecting you but it's obviously not a good thing to be happening [13:30] Travis-42, that* === quiesense is now known as quiescens [13:32] i think that upgrading the bios on an ubuntu only machine is far beyond my skills so i wont take such a risk [13:33] but i was wondering if maybe the driver issue can help [13:33] maybe i can remove the nvidia driver and try to reinstall it [13:34] any idea? [13:34] mrv: reinstall nvidia-common [13:34] been having lots of crashing on 11.04 here last day or so.. getting annoying [13:34] I have a question regarding an installation problem. The installation works until it's time to write grub to the MBR. I then get an error message saying that step failed. I ended up having to start a live CD and fix my MBR from there. This has happened on 10.10 and now 11.04. [13:34] total system crash/lockup. even ssh service goes down. :( [13:35] nagg1: just nvidia-common or also nvidia-setting? [13:35] HappyHoward: double check the bios, make sure theres no anti-virus protedtion enabled. with out some detailed grub logs - it may be hard to tell whats wriong in teh installers [13:35] Ok... [13:36] HappyHoward: did you make sure you had a fresh mbr before trying to install grub? [13:36] teddyroosebelt, I guess I could use truecrypt for that, I do slightly prefer the integration of ecryptfs, however === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:36] No I had linux mint on it before. After failing to install ubuntu 10.10 I installed Linux mint instead. [13:36] hello [13:37] i have ubuntu installed on an ec2 server on amazon. after i did an upgrade to the release sudo -s requests a password. what's the default password ? [13:38] naggi: What do you mean a fresh mbr? What should I do before a new install? [13:38] HappyHoward: I say that because my grub install kept failing when I was trying to install 11.04 [13:38] Did you solve it the same way I did? [13:38] HappyHoward: then instead of just redoing the partitioning, i redid the mbr as well [13:38] HappyHoward: then instead of just redoing the partitioning, i redid the mbr as wel [13:39] HappyHoward: and then it worked [13:39] nagg1:Ok, is that an option in the installer? [13:40] HappyHoward: just FYI wiping the mbr will destroy all data on the entire disk [13:40] Hi [13:40] HappyHoward: and yes it probably is. i don't use the regular installer though, I was using the netinstall. [13:40] nagg1: Ok [13:41] HappyHoward: if you want a standalone liveCD partitioner, the gparted liveCD works well. just mentioning, if the vanilla ubu installer doesn't have it [13:41] Hi again.. I'm still having issues with my WIFI connecting. I've just tried setting hwwep=0 and rebooting, but still no luck. I've also been told that formatting will not solve the issue either. any ideas? [13:41] nagg1: Ok thx === millo is now known as MiLLo [13:42] nagg1: Are you sure wiping MBR destroys all data on the disk? The partitions should still be there?? [13:43] HappyHoward: wiping the mbr will kill everything. nothing will be left. [13:43] My X.org server displays a black screen due to a misbehaving application (which has terminated). Is there a way to restore the original display without killing the server? [13:43] HappyHoward: obviously you can then create new partitions on the disk afterward [13:45] nagg1: yeah. ok. [13:45] What's the most efficient way to partition a HDD running only ubuntu natty to provide optimum performance? filesystem? ext3 or ex4 or something else, separate /boot ? /swap? [13:45] I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? nm-applet seems to have issues also, saying that due to security policies it's not allowed to own the service. [13:46] constl, ext4 / swap /home i would say [13:46] constl: if you want max performance, you can also use ext2, at the expense of no journaling [13:46] hi [13:47] I've just done a test - my Wifi connects to BTOpenZone, I can connect via wired connection to my router/network, I just can't connect wirelessly to it. Very weird [13:47] Nexos999: I just came in and am rudely interjecting, but ext2's speed came from the async mount option that used to be an obligatory mount option. [13:48] Nexos999: It did funky stuff with webservers in clusters and sessions :s [13:48] does the default ubuntu user has a default password of some sort? [13:49] Ligthert: well IIRC you could use a sync param in fstav [13:49] fstab [13:49] i just installed 11.04 on my acer aspire 1830T. everything but the wifi works fine. wifi led is off and fn+f2 does not work. [13:49] Nexos999: but it got most of the performance out of the fact it was mounted as async iirc. [13:50] Ligthert: Didn't use ext2 for ages TBH. Have waited way too much waiting for e2fsck to finish [13:50] is there any command like tool to force wifi activation , [13:51] Nexos999: I did see a few hosts with FS mounted async recently.. strange errors on webservers... very strange errors.. [13:51] mr_o i'm having sorta similar issues [13:51] is there not a switch on the actual laptop to turn on WIFI [13:51] ..... [13:52] MiLLo: there's no physical button to turn wifi on/off on the aspire 1830T [13:52] oh.. ok.. [13:53] How do the new scrollbars in 11.04 work? I can't seem to use them -- when I move my mouse over it, it disappears [13:53] absolute beginner here, installed ubuntu 11.04 on all my PC's at home and I need some help with networking and filesharing [13:53] My integrated webcam/microphone is showing up as devices, but the camera won't accept input, and the microphone won't accept any input. Any one have any ideas? [13:53] ah - Mr_O If you right click on Network Manager, and set enable WIFI - try that [13:54] or Enable wireless even [13:54] hey everyone [13:54] xfce gnome unify? what is the differences among the three? [13:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Aspire1830T Mr_O [13:54] does anyone know a good screen recorder [13:54] i have used a few but they are jittery for some reason [13:55] Hi folks [13:55] not enough processing power most likely [13:55] yannski: If you still here... what was it you wanted to know about Gnome3? [13:56] szal: was this derected to me? [13:57] marie: Start looking at Samba [13:57] ok, thank you === sony is now known as Guest16804 [13:58] marie: Altough i prefer SSH when it comes to send files and run remote [13:58] i would of thought screen recorders would record reasonably well at low resolution [13:58] which is more secure? [13:58] and wouldnt think it would take up too much processing power [13:59] did anyone have any suggestions to my WIFI issue? just tries to connect to my wireless network at home and seems to timeout saying "Wireless Network Disconnected" [13:59] marie: SSH i believe... haven't used Samba so much that i comfortable can say much of it. [13:59] MiLLo, what's the card? [13:59] Realtek [13:59] guys i have a custom ubuntu installation.can i upgrade via apt-get dist-upgrade without installing unwanted apps of ubuntu?or this is not the recommended way [13:59] I'm so glad I don't have WiFi issues now that the RTL8192SE drivers are integrated into the kernel. [14:00] has anyone got a screen recorder working really well on linux [14:00] MiLLo: Do you have the correct IPv4 (or IPv6) settings? [14:00] MiLLo, Realtek offers linux drivers... you can try compiling them from source? [14:00] all I want to do is share music, docs and photos on my home network [14:00] I think so soyo [14:00] and if so what would you recomend? [14:00] and maybe video when I get around to it [14:00] marie: SSH and SSHFS are really easy to use and will work everywhere with a minimal of setup... [14:00] soadkombuncha - I'm REALLY new to ubuntu - I never ever had WIFI issues, then I just turned on laptop one day - this issue happened and it's not worked since [14:01] everytime I try to do an update - wired it says I have no interenet connections [14:01] #belem [14:01] If it's an RTL8191SE or RTL8192SE... I've seen a lot of problems.. I had a lot of them... But I don't know what to do. [14:01] marie: Then look at SSHFS [14:01] My integrated webcam/microphone is showing up as devices, but the camera won't accept input, and the microphone won't accept any input. Any one have any ideas? [14:01] i think it's the second one of them [14:01] any responses would be great :) [14:01] Grande Ć© a luta [14:01] Almehdi ok I will go have a look [14:01] MiLLo: When you update you can choose to keep the old config file, but that's ok you can reenter the info. [14:02] marie: VLC could stream your video too [14:02] where would you recommend me going soyo - to realtek's website? [14:02] so i cant use emerald borders with unity ?.. [14:02] screen reader, anyone used one before?!?! [14:02] :p [14:02] MiLLo: Are you missing a driver or are you just not connecting? [14:02] screen recorder i mean? [14:02] ? [14:03] Almehdi Thank you very much for your help....stay connected please I may be with more questions...lol [14:03] !screncast | andeeeuk [14:03] !screencast | andeeeuk [14:03] andeeeuk: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [14:03] andeeuk, i have used gtkrecordmydesktop for recording my screens [14:03] I'm not quite sure Soyo - I've tried connecting to BTOpenZone - and apart from signing in - it seemed to connect. but my specific home wireless network - I can only connect wired. No other computer/laptop (all windows) have any problems at all. [14:03] thanks everyone, thats really good [14:04] marie: SSH and SCP will allow you to control your computers remotely... but they are terminal based. [14:04] i have used recordmydesktop and its always jittery [14:04] not even 100% sure how to find out what my specific wireless card is on ubuntu either [14:04] MiLLo: OK so your driver is working. You just do not have one of the settings for your home correct [14:04] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:04] what is terminal based?...excuse my ignorance [14:04] whats the support # for openSUSE? [14:05] roarke: Likely in #opensuse [14:05] soyo - I've no idea what's wrong, I never changed anything and it stopped working - I've tried resetting up many times - it still won't work, and I've never had any issues connecting before when I first used ubuntu. [14:05] andeeuk, for me it worked fine..you can look for some other applications as pici has suggested [14:05] I've downloaded ubuntu and installed it on to a windows partition. After i installed it, i notice that when i try to ssh to a server on the network i get this error: debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [14:05] Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [14:05] marie: We are all new at some point... Terminal is a text based app [14:05] MiLLo: Can you right click the wireless icon and go down to edit connections? If so find your SSID of your home network and verify that you have the correct IPv4 settings that match your router. [14:05] for some reason im not able to log in to a box onto a network although i can ping it. [14:05] it is BtHomeHub 2.0 (black box) if that helps. [14:05] marie: If you press ctrl+alt+t you will open the terminal [14:05] Pici:thnx il try that, [14:06] siema [14:06] hseritt: When you ping it are you pinging it on the port you are trying to connect on? [14:06] sure i can try that [14:06] marie: you will need to install a ssh server on all the computers you want to be able to log in on [14:06] jest jakiś polak?? [14:06] !pl | mateusz [14:06] mateusz: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [14:06] MiLLo: Select BtHome then and check to see that the settings match the settings in your router [14:07] soyo yes i can run a telnet to it. so i know it's open [14:07] marie: and then you could just write "ssh user@ip-number" to log in on one of the computers [14:07] hseritt: My guess would be authentication problem then, have you checked the error logs? [14:07] where would I find those settings Soyo - sorry for sounding really retarded here. [14:07] (the router settings - not what I have now) [14:07] Almehdi.....which software do I download ? [14:07] MiLLo: Are you using Desktop, Netbook, or Command-Line? [14:08] soyo no i dont even get a password prompt. there is no issue with authentication. [14:08] soyo... Do you have any idea what would cause a mic to recognize as input but not accept input? [14:08] marie: OpenSSH client and server [14:08] soyo - I'm on 11.04 so desktop I'd imagine [14:08] MiLLo: oh the router sorry you have to login to the router [14:08] soyo, and actually in my error message this is what i see: debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [14:08] Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [14:08] hi [14:08] hhi [14:08] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:08] marie: scp is to send and retrieve files [14:08] soyo i did this with ssh -vvv ... i only get this with ubuntu [14:08] MiLLo: Usually it is done by typing the IP addy of the router into your web browser [14:08] from synaptic [14:08] soyo - at the risk of being smacked on the head, I don't have the account details - it's at home, and my dad doesn't like me having access - bit of a powertrip with him [14:08] marie: yes === bsodmike_ is now known as bsodmike [14:09] hseritt: Are you connecting with SSH2 or SSH? [14:09] soyo, i can connect with redhat and windows to these servers - as they are also installed on this same laptop [14:09] (ironicaly I'm 23 years old, and far more pc literate than him - probably hence the powertrip) [14:09] Almehdi Thank you again [14:09] soyo, OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 [14:10] marie: The nice thing is that you could easily have a graphical view of your remote computer too through VNC if you are unfamiliar with the text based terminal [14:11] soyo - if it helps - I can get access to windows based laptops and copy settings from there? [14:11] MiLLo: Its probably something like either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.10.1.. Should be the begining or end of your IP range unless he changed the default [14:11] MiLLo: That works too [14:11] soyo why only on ubuntu i cant connect via ssh? [14:11] ok, i'll be back in 20 seconds [14:11] Almehdi why didnā€™t all that install when I upgrade to 11.04 [14:12] MiLLo: Just keep in mind your IP must be unique but the netmask and gateway should be the same. DNS can be the same or you can use different DNS if you choose [14:12] marie: to send a file you just write "scp /file/to/send.txt user@ip-number:/place/on/other/computer/" [14:12] starting to wonder if ubuntu is shitware... good for home but lousy for enterprise [14:12] hseritt: I think you need to try with SSH2 instead of SSH [14:12] hseritt: Please mind your language here. [14:12] soyo, umm i am using the ssh that comes with the install [14:12] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:13] seems an awful lot to do to share [14:13] Hi everyone! [14:13] wtf [14:13] hseritt: but the error message said it was expecting SSH2 no? [14:13] marie: Cause it you might not use it... the client is installed per default but not the server if i remember correct [14:13] whats going on? [14:13] soyo, how would i use ssh2 instead then? [14:13] soyo - right i have my bro's laptop on windows wireless - same network. do you have any idea where I go on windows 7 to get the ipv4 information? and your multitasking is super impressive btw - thanks for the help [14:13] but will need to do it I suppose.....lol [14:13] I just switched to 11.04. How can I enable compiz or configure compiz nere in "unity'? [14:13] soyo, i am doing: ssh [username]@[server] [14:14] I moved to ubuntu because I hate Windows so much [14:14] soyo, and why doesnt ubuntu come default with ssh2 instead of ssh? [14:14] why? [14:14] marie: Well.. SSH is not for everyone. It's just that i prefer it most. [14:15] Almehdi I wiil give it a try [14:15] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:15] marie: It has very easy commands that you learn quickly [14:15] hseritt: I don't know. But I am sure you can get it from the repository [14:15] something wierd just happened.. X failed to start, and when i chose "restart X" it started GDM, then when i pressed tty1 it went to KDM, i logged in and now i have 2 cursors [14:15] marie: When you have you will be able to connect to your computer from anywhere.. even an Windows computer [14:16] MiLLo: Thanks, and I do not know Windows 7 well but it is probably in control panel or my network places [14:16] is there a way i could kill the other cursor? [14:16] soyo, hseritt: ssh supports ssh1 and ssh2. Theres no need to install a different package. [14:16] Almedhdi.....don't speak about windows.....lol [14:16] marie: I for instance are moving files between my telephone and computer this way. [14:16] soyo - I've got a list that says ipv4 address, ipv4 subnet mask, ipv4 default gateway etc. [14:17] don't want to speak too soon but looks like I have linux installing [14:17] mare: ohh... sorry ;) [14:17] str, http://soumalyaray.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-enable-cube-in-compiz-with.html [14:17] booted right up [14:17] :) [14:17] Only took me 6+ hours [14:17] soyo - but apart from the subnet mask and last part of the address - they're all exactly the same [14:17] default gateway... [14:17] Almehdi: WOW [14:17] praveen_, THANK YOU! I'm reading it [14:17] MiLLo, default gateway is what you want. [14:18] awesome - how exactly on ubuntu do I enter it? [14:18] MiLLo: OK so that is good then. From one of the computers on the network can you use the web browser to connect to the gateway IP? [14:18] ? [14:18] str , but it is better not to enable it...it is not stable in unity till now [14:18] I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? nm-applet seems to have issues also, saying that due to security policies it's not allowed to own the service. === Cain` is now known as Cain [14:18] > [14:18] sigh, firefox has chosen this moment to auto update - 1 moment.

[14:19] praveen_, I need my zoom back, the super+scroll [14:19] MiLLo: I am here till 3pm (off and on) [14:19] nagg1, what happens if you open your terminal and type "killall nm-apple && nm-applet"... Don't do it if you're currently on ubuntu [14:20] killall nm-applet && nm-applet actually [14:20] soyo - ok it's taken me to bt homehub homepage [14:20] soyo hey i changed my client config to use Protocol 2 and it still does the same thing [14:20] praveen_, I see what you meant [14:20] Almehdi: I will be back later [14:20] marie: When we are at it i would also recommend no-ip.org. It is a dynamic ip service. It will allow you to make a easy ip for your computer.. like.. marie.no-ip.org or similar [14:20] hseritt: Same error? [14:20] soyo, yes [14:20] marie: install noip2 from synaptic [14:20] soyo - note without resetting to default (don't want to have to do) i doubt i'll be able to log into any settings etc. [14:21] marie: and make an account at www.no-ip.org [14:21] marie: just give me a pling... hopefully i am here [14:21] is there anyone here who has any real world openssh experience? [14:21] MiLLo: OK now check to make sure you have the correct wireless password (do not post it here obviously) and that if it does require mac address authentication that your mac address is on the list. If it does not then it does not need to be listed [14:21] hseritt: i use it every day [14:21] I configured the /etc/pam.d/su. I want to allow only users of group wheel to 'su root'. But with this configuration a normal user is not able to su to other normal users also.

If it does you can try and google the default settings for that model and try it. If its been changed your SOL with out daddy [14:22] tehnef, when i set the protocol to 2 i still get the same error [14:22] soyo - defo have correct password for wpa. don't know about mac authentication - it's asking for a password to amend any hub settings. and while i can reset to default - then my dad will be very annopyed at me [14:23] i'll try default, and if that doesn't work - screw it, I'll just reset to default - I'm getting more and more convinced he's disabled my access to the router wirelessly anyway [14:23] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module?

[14:24] soyo - oh? is there another way? only way i know is to press the reset to default button then its the password on back of router [14:24] MiLLo: If you can see the settings without a passwd then you probably don't need to change anything. [14:24] hseritt: both... [14:24] can't see antything [14:24] hseritt: is the ubuntu machine NATed?

[14:25] what is the difference between freeradius and radius-server? [14:26] MiLLo: except you IP should be unique and you mac address allowed IF it required mac auth [14:26] I want to put a command to be run after X server started, where should I put it? ( I want to turn numlock on ) any thoughts? === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [14:26] hseritt: i should check the firewall anyway just to make sure [14:26] Almehdi, i have it turned completely off [14:26] MiLLo: Also verify if its WPA your using WPA or WEP 128bit your using WEP 127bit etc.. [14:26] hseritt: ohh ;) [14:26] fardad: take a look at /etc/rc.local, if that won't do it then you'll have to write an init script or upstart job [14:27] 128* [14:27] I have a small problem, I can not find the audio icon in the notification area.

[14:32] hseritt: You will [more-than-likely] see that it is installed. [14:32] Almehdi, so there must be some configuration change i need to make to my ssh client here [14:32] hseritt: thats why i think logging would be a good idea [14:32] hseritt: Do they have openssh-server installed?

[14:34] usr13, again i can connect easily to them with redhat and windows [14:34] hseritt: Do you have access to them physically?

I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but it didn't seem to do anything [14:39] hseritt: are your local ip allowed on the server? [14:39] hseritt: Well, if it says 22 is open, that means that port 22 is open and sshd is listening behind it, so you should be able to connect. Show us the command you are using to try and connec, (but mask the IP address). [14:39] MiLLo: OK then you are able to get root privileges with that password, I am surprised it did not ask you for a password then if it is staying greyed out.. [14:40] nope - not been asked any password at all [14:40] hseritt: And what error do you get? [14:40] Almehdi, usr13 ,, Pici it shows 22/tcp open ssh [14:40] hseritt: I highly suggest that you enable debugging the server that your sshd is running on and take a look at the logs there. [14:40] i did [14:40] how can i tell if my swap is actually mounted? when i do a 'swapon -s' it lists a partition but it says "used = 0" [14:40] and i gave the errors [14:40] I'm probably doing something badly wrong - that is unnoticeable to me, but anyone else would see it straightaway - never really played with networking before beyond simple getting it connected [14:40] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/kreWdcY6 [14:40] debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP [14:41] Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [14:41] brucec, could you please paste the output of "apt-cache policy mercurial" too? [14:41] en1gma: if you're using a desktop, run the system monitor, and look at the resources tab [14:41] hseritt: I thought you said that is what it said on the client end. [14:41] ok 1 sec thanks [14:41] brucec: please run "sudo apt-get update" first - then try again [14:41] it will show you the swap file usage [14:41] MiLLo: hmm... I am stumped at the moment. You seem do have done everything correctly I don't why that is greyed out if you are a sudoer and you made changes to network settings it should allow to save [14:41] Pici, umm i cant exactly check the server ;-) [14:41] Pici, if i cant connect via ssha ;-) [14:41] ikonia: I've already done that. I might try going back to the gb mirror though - I'm using mirrorservice just now [14:42] hseritt: I thought you said you had other computers that could connect. [14:42] MiLLo: you may have to use ifconfig from the CLi to edit the connection.. [14:42] soyo - tell me about it. It's the most weirdest thing ever - it works fine, then it stops and won't work since. being wired isn't an option due to router placement [14:42] hseritt: Can you ssh into anything else on your LAN? [14:42] Pici, yes they are on this laptop ;-) [14:42] usalabs its not showing the swap as being used [14:42] brucec: a broken package won't be fixed by changing repos [14:42] trying not to reboot [14:42] it just has a green line at bottom of graph [14:42] brucec: what happens if you try to install python on it's own ? [14:42] soyo - i'll be honest, i'll have no idea how to do that [14:42] brucec: also, could you please pastebin your sources.list [14:42] en1gma, the swap file will not get used unless the physical memory us being used up [14:43] i am running i386 desktop and my computer has 4GB ram....how much of a swap file should i have set [14:43] Pici: "yes they are on this laptop"? That didn't make any sense. [14:43] I havd 3GB, and use a 2GB swap file [14:44] im using only a 1GB swap but so far i havent been able to make any swap get used [14:44] usr13: Its probably a dual/multi-boot setup. [14:44] usr13: virtualizatiomn, multi-boot, nothing special [14:44] en1gma: are you going to use hibernate ? [14:44] it will take a lot of memory usage to use up 4GB to activate the swap file [14:45] hseritt: I have no idea but are your local ip allowed on the server and are you using the correct user? I guess you are but had to ask.. [14:45] hello, my friends [14:45] Pici: If that is the case, he has a pretty wild conception about the situation. [14:45] hmmm that a good question....the computer does goto sleep [14:45] is there something wrong with adobe flash plugin for ubuntu 11.04 ? [14:45] ikonia: python's already installed. sources.list is at http://pastebin.com/LZ80jt7y [14:45] 32 bits [14:45] I wish I knew the command-line way to run the gnome network manager.. [14:45] brucec, did you run apt-cache policy mercurial ? [14:45] candrea: no, I didn't know about that command [14:45] hello, i want to install ubuntu from a bootable primary "partition" my external usb hard disk. Should i use the normal way of setting up a usb or will it affect my "other" partitions on my external hard disk [14:45] i could probably disable that function and that would free up some space to add to my ext3 fs for the ubuntu os [14:45] Thinking maybe you could sudo network-manager-gnome or something and it would work [14:46] For whatever reason, I can't seem to get an Internet connection on 11.04. I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but it didn't seem to do anything [14:46] brucec, please run it and pastebin the output [14:46] MiLLo: otherwise your going to have to use ifconfig [14:46] aha, I do have the Mercurial PPA enabled it seems [14:46] hmm [14:46] soyo: where would i find out how to use ifconfig well [14:46] MiLLo: Try going to applications>accessories>terminal [14:46] candrea: http://pastebin.com/AWJFafSw [14:47] !ifconfig | MiLLo [14:47] brucec: there we go then, so it's probably trying to pull a broken package for tham [14:47] Hello, could someone help me with Winetricks? I need to apply a .diff file but I have no idea how. [14:47] sorry, I've been using Debian for ages but new to this PPA stuff [14:47] MiLLo: from the terminal type 'man ifconfig' [14:47] that [14:47] brucec, thanks, now you can do two things: either remove the hg ppa or replace "maverick" with "natty" in your sources.list [14:47] soyo - i now got a flashing line saying: manual config line 1 [14:47] MiLLo: Are you trying to establish a wired connection? [14:48] brucec: you should not replace maverick with natty in your sources [14:48] usr13 wireless [14:48] lagreca, make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed . it contains flash, java and several multimedia codecs etc that are required [14:48] well fuck you all [14:48] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:48] Hello, could someone help me with Winetricks? I need to apply a .diff file but I have no idea how. [14:48] brucec: you need to find out if there is a natty version/source package, not just change the distro release [14:48] usr13 i'm connected wired - but wireless just dropped off a week ago for no apparent reason, won't connect again [14:48] hhi [14:48] usr13: wireless but he cannot save the new settings its greyed out. He is a sudoer and it didn't ask him for a passwd and he has made changes to the settings.. [14:49] Can someone help me? [14:49] !ask perfidy [14:49] !ask | perfidy [14:49] perfidy: 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. :-) [14:49] Hello, could someone help me with Winetricks? I need to apply a .diff file but I have no idea how. [14:49] soyo: He needs iwconfig [14:49] ikonia: it seems there is. thanks for the help [14:49] LarsTorben, he already did ask , before you arrived [14:49] okk [14:49] then say it again [14:50] I did [14:50] No one has replied. [14:50] Evening all. I have recently upgraded by W500 Thinkpad to 11.04 and now every time I boot I get a blank screen with nothing but the lcd backlight. I have to ctrl-alt-del and next time it posts I get the grub menu and it starts normally. Does anyone have any idea where I can start looking and for what to solve this? [14:50] candrea: thanks. I didn't realise PPA's went in a separate file [14:50] perfidy, applying a diff is pretty easy: patch -p0 < diff_file_name [14:50] !who | LarsTorben [14:50] LarsTorben: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:50] candrea: Do I apply it to a file? [14:50] BluesKay: STOP IT ! [14:50] brucec, is everything solved or do you still need help? [14:50] my LIVE robinCam - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/saidias She laid her first egg on 5/10/11 [14:50] LarsTorben: no, you stop it, [14:50] usr13: Ah yes, and no idea why that is greyed out either aye? [14:50] perfidy: i do not saw your question if you do not show it me [14:50] i cant help youu [14:51] LarsTorben: try to say someones name in front of your comments so they can see you are talking to them [14:51] perfidy, yes, the patch will be automatically applied to a file (the filename is named at the top of the diff) [14:51] i do so [14:51] MiLLo: correction, when you get the terminal open use iwconfig for wireless [14:51] candrea, I will try, thanks :) [14:51] and stop asking around here with help help help help i need help [14:51] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever. [14:51] candrea: I think it applied, no errors have come up [14:52] perfidy, remember to `cd` to the directory containing the file [14:52] candrea: everything works now: after replacing maverick with natty I could install mercurial etc. [14:52] ok, sudo iwconfig - gave a list of stuff - now what (sorry for coming across as an idiot again - i do really appreciate this) [14:52] brucec, cool! happy hacking :) [14:52] MiLLo: does it show the essid of your router. [14:52] candrea: I did :) [14:52] Does anyone know where the winecfg is located? [14:52] can i fix ntfs using fsck? [14:53] Goliath: no [14:53] no [14:53] MiLLo: If not try iwlist scan [14:53] 802.11bgn Nickname:"rtl8191SEVA2" [14:53] Goliath: it's not supported, use windows chkdisk [14:53] perfidy: sorryy i was unavailable if you asked your question. can you ask againn ? [14:53] ikonia: how do i run that?

[14:53] ok good perfidy [14:54] wpa and wp2 encryption usr13 [14:54] ikonia: is there a way to copy a folder to another partition and autoskip damaged files [14:54] ? [14:54] with the cp command [14:54] usr13 - and it's 100% the correct password - just copied and pasted from router settings to ensure [14:54] Goliath: not really, it's better to check disk it first [14:54] yes, goliath, first mounting [14:54] MiLLo: And you can't seem to get the netwrok-manager to connect? [14:55] usr13 - what i do is click connect for it - it animates the connecting thing - where it goes up and down the 3 wifi lines. 2 minutes later a little box appears saying "Wireless Network Disconnected" [14:55] MiLLo: BTHomeHub2-RQG3 is the password? [14:55] no, that's the ESSID [14:55] oh ok. [14:56] MiLLo: usr13: He cannot save the settings right? [14:56] MiLLo: Well, it's not authenticating for some reason or other. I don't know what we can do about it. [14:57] Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module?

[14:58] MiLLo: What wifi card is it? lspci |grep ireless [14:58] MiLLo: You don't need to format, you need to get the settings correct. If you cannot save settings through the GUI then try iwconfig [14:58] MiLLo: What you really should do is temporarily turn off the encryption and see if it will connect.

[15:24] can we use nagios for monitoring logs [15:25] arindom: correct. [15:25] arindom: Where do you see metric? [15:26] soyo: there are four columns under enter ipv4 settings for auto dialog box. [15:26] arindom: Oh under routes.. [15:26] soyo: the last one is metric. [15:26] soyo: yes [15:26] soyo: So I am leaving the metric value as empty? [15:27] guys - i've just tried wicd [15:27] it seems stuck on Validating Authentication [15:27] "Connection Failed - Bad Password" [15:27] MiLLo, you should be connecting ok, thesetup looks right, dunno why it's not working ...sorry but whatever is wrong , I can't sww it [15:27] hello? [15:27] soyo: I must also say one thing. I remembered that during the installation of Natty, I installed the updates with a wired connection because for wireless one needs to set it up. [15:27] how to make Xmodmap global on meerkat? [15:27] soyo: Then I added the wireless connection when natty got installed. [15:27] i've just gone into router settings, copied and pasted password directly - so there's no chance of error - it still won't work. [15:28] Is it worth it for me to try to get help here? I've been waiting for 40 minutes now [15:28] Question, can i install Ubuntu, from a "live CD" version of it? [15:28] can we use nagios for monitoring logs [15:28] blueskaj soyo usr13 - what should i do then? just give up and head back to windows? without wifi it's competely pointless for me. [15:28] Golden-Kumquat: just keep asking. [15:29] soyo: I am going to apply the settings. I may lose connection so please bear with me. [15:29] Question, can i install Ubuntu, from a "live CD"? [15:29] jedi-master: yes [15:29] alrigth thank you [15:29] jedi-master: yes [15:30] no MiLLo , there are some very knowedgable wifi guys , they're just not here right now [15:30] arindom: I think you can do it without setting a metric [15:30] soyo: Ok, I have done that. [15:30] arindom: I don't even think you need to click the routes button to be honest [15:30] if I want to download themes for unity, where do I go? gnome look still? [15:30] Konza: yes we can http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html [15:31] soyo: Then? how else? via command? [15:31] arindom: Just change the tab to manual under IPv4 settings and enter in the address,netmask,and gateway (and DNS below) [15:31] damn. i only get like one chance a week to connect - there's no chance of connecting at work. are the forums a good idea? and how would you recommend me phrasing the problem best? I'm more than happy to record a video/screen record of everything I do - and youtubing it so people can see the exact problem/and or allowing people to remote connect to me. I'm kinda desperate now [15:32] how to force loading of .xmodmaprc or etc/X11/Xmodmap? [15:32] llutz, do you remember my previous question? It is possible by configuring the /etc/pam.d/su file :). But i am still struggling to implement it. :) [15:32] Is there any way in 11.04 I can downclock the compositing or something? Unity is really quick, but some of the animations are slow. I'd almost rather not have any at all. No transitions or fading/sliding. Just instant reactions. Can I do this? [15:32] after upgrading to 11 I can't access emphaty settings to add new contacts ect [15:33] soyo: Wow! great. [15:33] arindom: working now? [15:33] Konza: so i wasn't completly wrong with my "maybe this could be done wirh pam" :) good luck [15:33] soyo: When I do that netmask is automatically showing as24 [15:33] MiLLo, try installing wicd , it's an altrnative to the default network manger ...it might work [15:33] with* [15:33] how to add new contacts in emphaty? [15:33] soyo: No I am yet to save and then reboot my modem [15:33] I want to get all the packages I have installed on one machine into a file I can use to install the exact same packages on another machine - what's the best way to do that? [15:33] blueskaj - just tried, it gets stuck at the validating authentication and says bad password [15:33] arindom: netmask should match the router setting, if not change it. [15:34] arindom: I don't think you need to reboot the modem [15:34] soyo: how I can check that? [15:34] MiLLo, ok bummer , I'm familiar with that problem :( [15:34] blueskaj - i'm 100% sure the password is 100% right - I've just copied and pasted directly from the router settings [15:34] arindom: Is it a modem or a router? (its probably 255.255.255.0) but maybe not [15:34] soyo: I need to reboot modem simply because that is when the problem is happening. I reboot modem when laptop is off then no network happens even though it says connected. [15:35] I'm running a network bridge with my laptop (on Windows) picking up the wireless internet, and my desktop (on Ubuntu) connected to the laptop. Both have the same IP address (192.168.1.102). Does that have anything to do with why I can't connect with my desktop? [15:35] arindom: Can you use a browser to connect to the routers IP addy? [15:35] !lubuntu [15:35] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [15:35] MiLLo, yeah, it's not a bad pw , in reality , it just doesn't see it , I think [15:36] soyo: This laptop is connected to a wireless router which has DHCP off (as told by router people) which in turn is connected to the Modem which is connected to internet automatically [15:36] soyo : Yes I can do that via browser [15:36] hi all, 10.10 boot error - "try passing init=bootargs" im using live cd to fix it but getting a warning when trying to fsck /dev/"linux partition". it says the drive is mounted and it will severely damaged it if i continue. what should i do? [15:36] arindom: OK so you need the router setttings not the modem settings. The route should be setup for the modem already [15:36] soyo: Yes you are correct. [15:36] arindom: Do you know the router's IP address? [15:37] soyo: You mean the admin screen that appears on entering the IP? [15:37] soyo : Yes I know it. [15:37] Can I wihth ubuntu run a laptop in docking station with 2 external monitor. With Or without the laptop monitor working don't matter. [15:37] arindom: Yes. Login and find all your settings in there [15:37] blueskaj - do you know of anywhere/anyone who'd be willing to connect to my pc via remote desktop or something - i'm willing to give access (provided I can terminate at any point if they do something dodgy) - but I'm clearly not able to fix it, and rather than someone try to type it - doing it may work far better. Not necessarily you - but anyone! [15:38] arindom: Gateway is the router's addy. Netmask is whatever is set in the router. Your ip should be the same for the first three bytes and the last part of the address unique [15:39] golden kumquat - i think that ip address is just the ip to connect to the router - not 100% sure though mind. [15:39] MiLLo, do you absolutely need wifi ? if not then wired ethernet is an alternative [15:39] Golden_Kumquat, can you connect the desktop to the router by ethernet or are you using the laptop as a gateway [15:40] <[TK]D-Fender> ATTESTATION : Just built a PC yesterday, Intel i5-2400 on an Asrock P67 motherboard with realtek 1000BT & 7.1 HD audio. i5 onboard video has VGA/DVI/HDMI, and his monitor was a 1920x1200 via DVI. He also had an iPod nano, and an Alesis mixer with USB audio interface. Fresh install of 11.04 = everything 100% functional OOB. Warm & fuzzy feeling the whole way... [15:40] if it's wired - it means sitting in the lounge constantly, and not being able to do anything without having family peering over me. [15:40] The latter [15:40] The laptop picks up the connection, and then the desktop is connected to the laptop via ethernet cable [15:40] soyo: Ok, Great! got the router Ip and gateway [15:40] blueskaj - it's like a 99% necessity - not having it would pretty much resign me to doing everything via my iphone. [15:41] soyo: And netmask as well [15:41] soyo: What should I enter as DNS Server value? [15:41] How do you register a nickname on freenode if you are using empathy? [15:41] BluesKaj: The latter. The laptop picks up the connection, and then the desktop is connected to the laptop via ethernet cable [15:41] arindom - if you get it to work, I want to know exactly what you did as when i tried it wouldn't let me save [15:41] arindom: You can find that in your router as well most likely. [15:41] <_joey> how do I find who is package maintainer for a package? [15:41] MiLLo, gotcha ..well there are forums ..google-linux is good for some researcn [15:41] ajonesfl, /quote ns register [15:42] hey all [15:42] arindom: Those will be the DNS from ISP most likely. You could even use google dns or opendns alternatively but the dns from ISP is probably just fine [15:42] soyo: DNS value in Router? [15:42] In a window in Empathy [15:43] can anybody give me some advice on an error msg and the ubuntu repos being added to another distro ? [15:43] Golden_Kumquat, your laptop is using a 3g/4g cell connection to the internet ? [15:43] Hello, it looks like Natty encrypts the swap space if home directory is encrypted. True? [15:43] BluesKaj: It's using WiFi [15:43] arindom: The router probably has your isp's dns settings saved in there for the DHCP, if not you can use some other DNS [15:43] soyo: Ok,I will check right now. [15:44] It appears empathy does not give you a way to register a nickname [15:44] Golden_Kumquat, wifi router ?then connect the desktop to the router ethernet port [15:44] will fcsk a mounted drive totally ruin it? [15:44] Hi, can You check, what's wrong with that tutorial: http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1436346-guide-linux-native-official-rs-java-client ? [15:45] BluesKaj: If I could connect my desktop directly to my wireless router, I would have [15:45] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [15:45] tor: Depends: tsocks but it is not installable === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [15:45] any ideas ? [15:45] does anyone know a way to change the layout of virtual desktop so they are vertical [15:45] soyo: Could not locate any DNS in router. As per I know my ISP didn't tell me any DNS as such. [15:45] No one have any experiance with laptops, docking station and ubuntu? [15:46] soyo : I will try opendns [15:46] move the router to the desktop Golden_Kumquat , that would be the best solution [15:46] arindom: OK [15:46] Has anyone configured syslog-ng with nagios [15:46] It looks like Natty encrypts the swap space if home directory is encrypted, TRUE? [15:46] soyo: and search domain should be empty? [15:46] fanno, docking station are hardware base they should just work [15:46] I didn't think it possible, but I'm going to give up Ubuntu because of Unity. It has given me naught but problems since I installed it on my new laptop. Distro-searching, here I come.... [15:46] BluesKaj: I can't, since the router is connected to another desktop. [15:47] OttifantSir: Ubuntu Alertnate CD just install command line and use like x/flux [15:47] out of interest arindom what router are you susing? [15:47] soyo: About routes, I am keeping it empty and not adding anything there. OK? [15:47] Can anyone help me troubleshoot wifi issue, my internet pauses for a few seconds every few minutes...it doesn't do this when i boot to win. I think it has to be a settings issue, just not sure what to look at [15:47] But don't Linux have "problems" with hardware from time to time. [15:48] Golden_Kumquat, how many ports on the router , most have 4 [15:48] just because you hate unity doesn't mean you need to give up ubuntu because quite frankly I'm not sure about you but I don't have the time to sit there and compile gentoo kernels over and over again to get it just right [15:48] I am looking to get a dell Or something [15:48] Millo:D-Link [15:48] Trey: Or build linux from scratch [15:48] ah.. ok no probs [15:48] thu buom [15:48] Trey-: Had forgotten that. Will try that as a last-ditch effort before I try Unity Linux or Ubuntu Customization Kit and other distros [15:48] arindom: don't even touch routes [15:49] BluesKaj: I don't know, but I know that the ethernet cable is not going to reach all the way to the router. [15:49] ubuntu remix will be out soon that ubuntu + gnome 3 [15:49] soyo: Ok, I have not touched it. [15:49] arindom: working now? [15:49] soyo: I will now reboot both my Internet conn and laptop. Will come back in 5 minutes. [15:49] Trey-: aren't there some middle grounds between unity and building gentoo from scratch? I for one wonder why ubuntu is adopting the worst UI "features" of mac os x [15:50] OttifarrlSir: I mean honestly if you have the time though go for gentoo or for a bsd. I love FreeBSD, but I just don't have the time to tinker with that kind of thing anymore [15:50] arindom: You do not need to reboot your laptop [15:50] soyo: It should not take that long. But I will ensure that IP changes between reboot. That is what the problem is. When IP changes no internet. [15:50] Soyo: See you shortly. [15:50] so arindom has been able to save? how's he got away with that? [15:50] fanno: I have a few Dell machines running Ubuntu since 6.06. Up until 11.04 I had no problems with them (now Unity is ruining the experience IMO), so I say go for it, but don't choose Dell WLan cards, and you'll be OK. [15:50] Secretary_Linux: there are but to be honest ubuntu in my experience has the best hardware support out of any distros not much tinkering to be done with it [15:50] i will admit... as much as i love freebsd, linux is much faster to deploy [15:50] =x [15:50] Trey-: hence why some of us are so upset about unity [15:51] arindom: rebooting is for the children of Bill Gates.. [15:51] Trey-: dual monitors used to work for me, now it doesn't. unity is breaking some hardware support [15:51] Soyo: I have to reproduce the same environment for the problem to resurface or get solved. [15:51] secretary_linux: but who says you have to use unity [15:51] soyo : Ha ha.. Well said [15:51] Trey-: well they are removing gnome... [15:51] i thought unity was going to remain optional for 11.x ? [15:51] after upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, i got lots of 'connection reset' errors while everything is ok on my windows. help me, please. [15:51] arindom: Oh ok to see if the settings take.. but first make sure they work [15:51] unity is optional for now [15:51] secretary_linux: I myself prefer fluxbox over it anyway [15:51] i always did like fluxbox :) [15:51] glad i've been ignoring that "update now" =) [15:52] secretary_linux: I mean you can always install a command line system and install x and fluxbox gnome3 kde whatever you want real easy [15:52] soyo: unfortunately unless I restart I can't ensure it. There is no problem in re-adding the network in case it doesn't work. [15:52] they are getting rid of the gnome packages in the upcoming release though, no? [15:52] is there an easy way to do a live backup/image of a lvm volume? [15:52] get a cmd install of ubuntu going sudo apt-get install xorg, kde [15:52] Offifantsir the docking station should bottom be a problem? [15:52] nno other configuration required [15:52] arindom: OK but make sure you can get out to the Internet BEFORE you reboot [15:52] soyo : In the meantime you can check more about this issue here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/41440/wireless-connected-but-no-internet-until-i-re-add-network [15:52] soyo: Ok [15:52] soyo: will come back shortly. [15:53] if i added an iscsi volume to my lvm on this box, would i be able to backup my active/os volume live? [15:53] (or any other methods available for a live imaging of the os volume) [15:54] are there often problems updating to the latest version of ubuntu? [15:54] fanno: You mean hardware docking station right? I'm sorry to say I haven't tried that, but I have yet to see any real problems with them in the forums or here. I HAVE seen the WLAN cards get a lot of grief though, that's why I urge you to choose another card. [15:54] soyo - i'm gonna try this again as a last ditch resort. how do i open network manager as an adminstrator? [15:54] "but but.. you havent completed your training.." - Yoda [15:54] Golden_Kumquat, try this if you don't want to buy a longer cable .http://www.linuxaria.com/article/how-to-ubuntu-gateway?lang=en&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Linuxaria_En+%28Linuxaria%C2%BB+English%29 [15:55] MiLLo: I don't know actually. [15:55] BluesKaj: The gateway is running Windows, though. The desktop is the one on Ubuntu. [15:55] MiLLo: I imagine you type sudo network-manager or sudo network-manager-gnome or something [15:56] neither work [15:56] MiLLo: I usually just use ifconfig myself (or iwconfig) [15:56] Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that? [15:56] i'm open to try using that soyo but i'd need to be walked through it - i'd literally have no idea [15:56] soyo and MiLLo: When opening graphical applications as administrator, always use gksudo (or gksu) as sudo is for text and can create permission problems. Which I don't know, but that's what someone smarter than me told me some time ago [15:56] Has anyone configured syslog-ng with nagios [15:57] Ottoifantsir Yes hardware docking station, I currently only have my, phone to search the web. So it is a "pain" to get good overview [15:57] OttifantSir: Thanks! [15:57] soyo, would you also recommend me deleting my keyring and every bit of information about my network - and starting from scratch [15:57] thanks OttifantSir [15:57] MiLLo, no [15:57] MiLLo: not really [15:58] Pryifantsir [15:59] Fanno keyboard on a phone hehe, I am used to a dual monitor setup so I now can't live with out [15:59] fanno: As I said, haven't seen any major problems with their docking stations, so I'd recommend a Dell. [15:59] bummer. i've literally got no idea what to do then. i'll see if i can find a driver to download [15:59] although where i'll get a ubuntu compatible one i don't know [16:00] Ok, thanks ill. See what I can find [16:00] Ok so my ubuntu server box keeps... losing /dev/sdc it'll be running fine for a while, then it'll just kinda disappear and then on reboot won't be able to find it (still listed in bios) [16:01] Can anyone help me understand the GUI system *nix uses? Does a display manager (kdm, gdm, etc.) just present a login screen which then loads a window manager such as gnome, kde, or fluxbox? Or am I missing something? [16:02] BrewStation: that's right, all of that runs on top of the X windowing system [16:02] BluesKaj: I tried the link as much as I could. It didn't seem to do anything [16:02] soyo: Are you there? [16:02] secretary_linux, thank you for the answer. Do most of these components work easily with others? For instance could I use kdm to load fluxbox, or jvm to load gnome? [16:03] *jwm [16:03] soyo: No it didn't work. [16:03] soyo: I switched off everything and then restarted. My laptop says wireless is connected but there is no internet connection. [16:03] hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas? [16:03] arindom - i'm jealous. you've got further than me - i'm unable to connect to wifi.. [16:04] Millo: I am not sure whether I can help because I myself is a noob but you can tell me the problem. May be I can share ideas. [16:04] BrewStation: I don't know much about the specifics but for the most part yes [16:05] secretary_linux, thanks for your help. I'm going to go play around with these parts some more :) [16:05] hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas? [16:05] soyo: Strangely for my Desktop, there is no such problem. Even it is also on Natty and wireless connected to the same router. [16:06] very similar to you arindom - i can't connect to wifi - it just tries then times out. when i tried to enter settings manually - it's not letting me save. i've just foudn a troubleshooting guide on ubuntu.com that i'm gonna try now. although it means disconnecting so i'll likely be back in 10 minutes with no further luck! [16:06] anyone here using 11.04, bash, and using tab-to-autocomplete noticing that for directories, it adds a space to autocomplete? [16:06] for example: [16:06] with cat, jconnolly@jconnolly-linux:~$ cat /tmp [16:06] Display all 293 possibilities? (y or n) [16:06] (my ~/.bashrc) [16:06] jconnolly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:06] http://pastebin.com/NvtaW8Cj [16:06] Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that? [16:06] Millo: All the best. Hope it works. [16:07] hmm, I upgraded a test machine from 10.10 to 11.04 and now when it boots it just takes me to a grub prompt [16:07] hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas? [16:09] oh wait! The hard drive has MOVED! It was /dev/sdc it's now /dev/sdd! [16:09] hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas? [16:10] test [16:11] wow [16:12] so it turns out, the troubleshooting guide on ubuntu.com actually has a broken page/broken links [16:12] typical [16:12] it happens [16:12] hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas? [16:12] * MiLLo hates his life.... [16:12] * phox_ hugs MiLLo [16:13] Golden_Kumquat, the best solution to your problem is to get a longer ethernet cable ...ther may be a workaround , but your situation is very unu8nusual, so unlikely to find a solution here , unless of course both machines were linux , then you could ssh into the targer pc and call up a browser and connect that way [16:13] hi guys [16:13] could someone write my nick out? I want to see if it highligts. haha. [16:13] i have dependency problems but i can not resolve them by my own. anybody help me? http://pastebin.com/xqjyxDuX [16:13] phox [16:13] hm, it didnt.. [16:14] phox_ [16:14] phox_: [16:14] anyone here to help me with my blurry font issues [16:14] phox_ [16:14] BluesKaj: Somehow I doubt they have ethernet cables that go from the second floor of a house all the way to the basement. So that's kinda out of the question. [16:14] does anyone have any ideas when it comes to downloading drivers for ubuntu? [16:14] http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/ [16:14] xchat is really inconvenient to set ut your colours in [16:14] this is what i have [16:14] http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/ [16:14] I'm gonna download the latest drivers for my wireless device [16:14] can anybody check if the fonts are OK or not? [16:14] http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/ [16:15] http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/full/ [16:15] how does one run a secondary x on another terminal ? >startx :1 ? [16:15] i downloaded a .deb file, how do i run it from ssh? [16:15] Golden_Kumquat, well , I do :) [16:16] hello :) [16:16] Golden_Kumquat, one can buy usb wifi adapters that work out of the box for windows desktop pcs === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [16:17] Camarata, ssh user@host "dpkg -i file.deb" [16:17] BluesKaj: It's not running Windows, though [16:17] looks like there are documented problems upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 with grub [16:17] can anyone hear me? [16:17] MiLLo: What release are u using? [16:18] 11.04 [16:18] magepsycho: I'm no expert on fonts, but it seems like they are OK to me. I can't see any fuzziness at least. [16:18] Zato-1, 11.04 [16:18] idefix: HEAR you, or READ you? === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [16:18] OttifantSir, i thought about saying that, but decided i'd come across as a pedantic git.. which when desperate for help isn't the best thing :P [16:18] Golden_Kumquat, some work in linux as well, but one has to do some research before buying [16:18] MiLLo: Can it detect wireless connection or its something else? [16:19] i have one strange issue while taking screenshot [16:19] i can see save to ... for the first time [16:19] Unity is not popular in china [16:19] and for the 2nd time i can't see the otpion anymore [16:19] Camarata, this works if the file.deb that you downloaded is in your home dir [16:19] can I get some help with Shotwell please? [16:19] Zato-1, it can see i have a wireless network - but when i try to connect it just seems to try, time out and then just say "Wireless Network Disconnected" [16:19] gentinux_: unity is not popular anywhere :) [16:19] BluesKaj: Still, it's a workaround solution.
