[00:00] !lts | haunt_house [00:00] haunt_house: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [00:00] !mupen [00:00] !mupen64 [00:00] DasEi, eol [00:00] !mupen64plus [00:00] !emulator [00:00] do you know of any other n64 emulator? [00:01] Alan502, /msg ubottu please [00:01] bazhang: ah, thx [00:01] mupen64 is the best one I belive [00:01] Alan502: search the software store [00:01] Alan502: or software center whatever they are calling it now === intervention1236 is now known as ainterventon [00:01] histo, I already have, but mupen is the only one that shows up, i was wondering if there was another emulator somewhere else [00:01] apt-cache search n64 [00:01] whats wrong with mupen? [00:02] Alan502: there are tons. [00:02] DasEi, I'm afraid I break more stuff by upgrading. happened once [00:02] DasEi, and my pc is old [00:02] sereal, I can't get to configure my joystick :/ [00:02] the wiki isn't being helpful [00:02] another emulator won't fix that. [00:02] haunt_house: is some risk, but better then no more updated packages, this can break, too [00:02] Unless you're using a rolling release distribution, you tend to run into issues upgrading if you've highly customized on older packages. [00:02] is your joystick supported by other emulators? [00:02] the joystick works, but I cannot configure it with mupen because the gui was removed [00:02] haunt_house: specs of your box ? [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] maximeWarrior: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:02] [00:03] sereal, yes, it shows up in the joystick application [00:03] DasEi, amd 200 with 768 mb ram [00:03] there should be a mupen gtk I think [00:03] 2000 [00:03] sereal, it was removed in the last version [00:03] Alan502: actually only mupen is showing up in the repos you may be able to find one online somewhere in a deb format. [00:03] is there not a config file? [00:03] haunt_house: use 10.04, maybe with a lighter windowmanager than gnome [00:04] sereal, there is, and I followed the instructions on the wiki to edit it, but still it didn't work for me [00:04] http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/ControllerSetup [00:04] Alan502: or you could try something like project64 in wine [00:04] haunt_house: there are many improvements, also concerning footprint, and vast in bootup [00:04] Alan502: I would check and see if they have a channel around anywhere for support [00:04] in fact, the InputAutoCfg.ini file wasn't even in the directory [00:04] thats typical [00:04] how do i use ffmpeg to convert to mp4 audio [00:05] Alan502: /j #mupen64plus [00:05] ah, excellent, thanks histo :D [00:05] tbruff13, presumably you mean extract audio [00:05] DasEi, I could deal with that all if they just wouldn't change the interface. I'm too old to constantly relearn things (Haunt_House switches to steampowered calculator) [00:05] tbruff13: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html there are some examples here. [00:06] What do you want an .mp4 for? The options you use depend a lot on what you plan to use the .mp4 on. [00:06] tbruff13: and I believe examples on usage in the man page [00:06] bazhang, I mean how do i use the frontend winff to convert files from mp3 to mp4 audio [00:06] Does anybody know of a simpleish program that can open powerpoint files? [00:06] I don't need a full office suite, I just need to look at lecture slides from my classes. [00:06] Assuming you have WinFF open, what exactly is the first step you get caught on? [00:07] tbruff13: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html#SEC18 is the section on audio converting. but basically ffmpeg -i /file/you/want/converted.whatever /file/you/want/out.mp4 [00:07] haunt_house: again, then use lucid, I can understand you, for now I'm also flewing unity [00:07] or you could use something like handbrake for a nice gui program to convert media === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [00:07] There's a command to show the unique lines for file1 vs file2.. anyone remembers what it is ? :) [00:08] Bartzy: diff ? [00:08] DasEi, ich probiers mal als live cd [00:08] DasEi: No, diff shows difference. I want to show uniq [00:08] Bartzy: you want to compare two files? [00:08] can someone tell me where does recentmanager store its data? [00:08] Bartzy: well the difference would be uniq [00:08] Bartzy: just display ? cat.. [00:08] histo: Just remembered. called comm [00:08] Hello! After I woke my computer up, I have this big red box with the number 1 in it. What is this, and how do i get rid of it?! [00:09] Bartzy: sdiff is side by side differences [00:09] comm for compare, tricky to remember [00:09] [00:09] [00:09] maximeWarrior: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] Bartzy: you could have found by apropos compare [00:12] Bartzy: or man -k compare [00:12] got it [00:13] does anyone use pithos [00:13] Hey guys, I am trying to test 11.04 on a live CD but now it is asking for a login, I never made any accounts so does anyone know how to get around this? [00:13] Sabatini: try "ubuntu" and no password [00:13] Sabatini, [Enter] [00:15] tbruff13: no, what's that ? [00:15] DasEi, it is a pandora frontend [00:15] hrm.... fdisk -l doesn't print improper permissions when you run it without sudo. it just exits 0 [00:16] Does anyone that uses this software know what it means whenever pithos says end of playlist detected [00:16] tbruff13: no idea, you compiled it ? [00:16] DasEi, search pithos ubuntu [00:16] Neither of those worked so I just rebooted booting from the CD again [00:19] yes I am trying to convert to mpeg 4 audio and I am using the frontend sinthgunt and whenever I try to use mp4 i get this error You have selected a preset which is (probably) not supported by your version of ffmpeg. To upgrade ffmpeg, please check your distribution documentation. [00:19] If you want, you may disregard this warning and check the log file (sinthgunt.log) after pressing the convert button [00:19] How do i get the newest version of ffmpeg [00:19] tbruff13: right, I stop boggling, as I don't now it, ppa there :), but mmedia: [00:19] !medibuntu [00:19] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:20] DasEi, ok help [00:21] DasEi, okay once i install the repository how do i upgrade ffmpeg [00:22] tbruff13: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:22] DasEi, okay trying it [00:24] I want an equalizer -10.04- and am not clear if this works for me -> http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/954-add-equalizer-for-pulse-audio-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx [00:26] you call that an equalizer? [00:26] It worked yay === fsd is now known as Captainkrtek === michael is now known as Guest39114 [00:33] ubuntu vps, 10.04, when i log i see 0 packages can be updated, but beneath it 17 packages/11 security. nothing will upgrade/dist-upgrade. finds nothing. [00:33] http://pastie.org/1898668 [00:33] thoughts? ~.~ [00:33] Hi, folks: Having an issue where certain windows in Gnome "white out" on maximize. This behavior seems to be tied to the Natty upgrade. Any ideas on remediation? [00:34] I've just updated to Natty from Lucid, and suddenly my wifi dongle started working (Yay!). Unfortunately, it only works in a Unity/Gnome session. Any idea why that might be? [00:35] tripelb: for lucid ? I re-tried in a vm, want the line ? [00:35] anyone have any ideas on how to implement a linux usb-boot/qemu system on usb a la http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html ? take a minute to look the link over before saying no or hell no, hah.

I have been told to edit my gtkrc file and set GtkWindow::resize-grip:width and height properties but they have no effect. what should I do? [00:37] an update problem. saying 0, and 17 when i login to vps. [00:38] anyone else having trouble reordering the launcher list in 11.04? kind of frustrated that I can't figure it out [00:38] localhost3000: you pull it to the right [00:38] pull the icons to the right [00:38] ahhhh [00:38] so simple! [00:38] localhost3000: yeah :) [00:38] yet so mysterious [00:38] thank you! [00:39] localhost3000: no problem! :D [00:39] Hi guys [00:39] so if im running an app through x when i close my connection will that app stop running? [00:39] glad I can help :D [00:39] anyone knows anything about python + skype4py? [00:39] «¤‹¤«¤‹¤«¤‹¤ [00:40] Doonz: No, not unless you terminate the x session. [00:40] tripelb: ? [00:40] does anyone here have sandy bridge video working with acceleration [00:40] I just got an nvidia 6200 for my old rig :) and I get three options for the drivers. I know one says "recommended" but what are the other ones? outdated drivers? [00:40] hey guys, some really weird "bug" here... xterm experiencing slowdowns and freezes. anyone else having this issue? [00:40] michaeltomer: im running gparted through putty. if i loose my internet connect my putty connection will be lost. will that kill gparted? [00:41] uabn93: reecommended is most compatible, others will work, too [00:42] Doonz: You could do a sanity check. Set up a script (whatever language you like) to just sit idle for an hour. Start it in the terminal, log out, log back in, and see if it comes up in the process list. === Izblis is now known as Ibliz [00:42] Doonz: If you've got Ruby, a script like "sleep 9999999" would do the trick. [00:42] uggg [00:43] If "ps aux | grep ruby" returns anything other then itself, then it worked. [00:43] i shoulda thought about this sooner but i didnt think it would take this long to resize a partition [00:43] ^other than [00:43] Doonz: You could run parted in screen, there are screenlike tweaks for gui too. [00:43] Are you resizing a currently mounted volume? [00:43] its not mounted [00:43] Doonz: Oh, you already started... [00:44] yeah [00:45] DasEi: are these drivers proprietary or open source? [00:45] DasEi: ok nevermind.. :| [00:45] Something like tmux would have worked wonderfully, if you hadn't started yet. I can't recommend tmux highly enough for flakey internet connections with SSH. [00:46] sahip: this worked for me, copy it to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 http://paste.ubuntu.com/607225/ [00:46] tmux is good for ssh (but bad for gui) [00:47] Hai [00:47] uabn93: propitary [00:47] does anyone use the ffmpeg frontend winff [00:47] Doonz: Are you using RDP, or just piping the x session straight over ssh? [00:47] anyone have any ideas on how to implement a linux usb-boot/qemu system on usb a la http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html ? There's alot of puppy specific stuff there, I'm looking more for a general approach if possible. [00:48] Doonz: if you ssh or putty with xfording then use screen and run the GUI app it will stay running if you get disconnected [00:48] I'm gonna try again, because I haven't found it yet: Where does unity saves the setting/.desktop file of a launcher created by right clicking and clicking 'Keep in launcher' [00:48] in unity obviously [00:49] h4writer: somewher ein your home [00:49] h4writer: try locate or find and find the launcher name you created in your home [00:49] h4writer: it doesn't create a new desktop file for that, it is added to dconf, com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites [00:50] trism, ah gonna look at that :D [00:50] My wifi dongle only works in Natty if I use Unity/Gnome. I like using i3 when programming, so it's a bit of a pain. Any idea why it only works in Gnome? [00:50] h4writer: or desktop/unity/launcher/favorites in dconf-editor [00:51] hay [00:51] whats the code for terminal is i want to launch something from my home folder [00:51] Kizza: Like a script? [00:51] Kizza: usually it is the name of the application [00:52] Kizza: cd ~ && ./something [00:52] how would I add a Mp4 audio preset to Winff the frontend for ffmpeg [00:52] Hi! The wireless signal strength tooltip on the notifier is missing on my natty install (Gnome Classic not Unity). It's just me or it's a known bug/feature? [00:52] trism, last time I checked it wasn't in desktop/unity-2d/launcher/favorites. And it still isn't, so it will be in the other [00:53] trism, with dconf-editor, you ment gconf-editor probably? [00:53] tbruff13, that's not a problem with ubuntu, maybe someone in #opensourcemusicians can help you, you could try the room at another time [00:53] h4writer: no I meant dconf-editor [00:53] hey, im used to windows so i need to know, where are program files? [00:53] kjxl9, what version of ubuntu are you using? [00:53] michaeltomer: piping the x session over ssh [00:53] h4writer: gnome apps are migrating from gconf to gsettings [00:54] 11.04 [00:54] trism, ah ok, gonna install dconf then [00:54] kjxl9: /bin/ /usr/bin/ /usr/sbin/ /usr/local/bin/ (command: which or locate to try) [00:54] kjxl9, you mean the menu shortcuts or the actual files? [00:55] Doonz: Unfortunately I don't have any experience with doing it that way. I know that if you use VNC then the x session would still be there until you manually kill it. [00:55] yeah [00:55] ugg i hope i didnt royally screw up [00:55] like, i need to extract files to where program files are [00:55] trism, is there a specific reason to ditch gconf for gsettings? I suppose speed related? [00:56] so the actual files [00:56] kjxl9, that's not the way you install programs on linux [00:56] what are you trying to do? [00:56] i know [00:56] kjxl9: Oh, echo $PATH will give you available paths, or exact anywhere and add path [00:57] kjxl9, it's what qin said [00:57] kjxl9: second option is abit better [00:57] im stuck at grub rescue prompt [00:57] Doonz: How long has the drive been partitioning? [00:57] h4writer: I'm not sure the reasoning behind the change, or why the editor is called dconf-editor, but the command line app is gsettings. I imagine it is to simplify the apis, since gsettings is part of glib, while gconf is a separate library [00:58] well i did the grow partition already and it ran e2fsk 2 times now [00:58] i didnt realize that gparted would start running resize2fs i thought that was a step i would have to do manually [00:58] *extract (geez) [00:58] resize2fs has been running for 3hours. its going from 5tb to 10tb [00:58] how can i recover my system from a grub rescue> prompt [00:59] h4writer: oh right, I believe GSettings can have multiple backends, and dconf is one of them === Guest67769 is now known as nicksa [00:59] Doonz: That seems like quite a while, but a 5tb increase is reasonably large. [01:00] yeah [01:00] Anyone, can Skype be run on Ubuntu 11.04, or is there a compatible alternative? [01:00] michaeltomer: but now my day is almost done at work and its still not finished [01:00] Serengaeth: I have skype on natty [01:00] so i was trying to see that if i lost my putty session if resize2fs would keep running or would it terminate cause gparted would terminate [01:01] I checked desktop/unity/launcher/favorites, but didn't found it there [01:01] Do you have a VNC/RDP/NX server set up on your workstation? [01:01] i have a file which appears to be a symlink to 2438 ? ls -l shows "file -> 2438" what does this mean? [01:01] no its a headless server [01:01] itaylor57: I downloaded the most recent package for Ubuntu 32-bit from the Skype website and that got me nowhere. Any tips? [01:01] Doonz: ;), see you tomorrow, iotop to monitor io activity, for 10tb lvm looks like sensible choice. [01:01] h4writer: what exactly are you doing? [01:02] Serengaeth: I use the one from the software center [01:02] Serengaeth, what's the error? Try to launch it from xterm to see what's failing [01:02] qin yeah im a rookie so i went with ext3 as the fs [01:03] itaylor57: I'm trying that now. [01:03] trism, I checked with dconf-editor, and desktop/unity/launcher/favorites contains all launchers, except the one I created by right clicking 'Keep in Launcher' [01:03] Where can I find debug information from my graphics card driver? [01:03] trism, and com.canonical.Unity.Launcher isn't available in dconf-editor for me [01:03] Like, where on the system? [01:03] DrNoone: Trying the Software Center now and the error is "Package Dependencies Cannto Be Resolved" [01:04] its going at 50MB/s in iotop === randimiller1 is now known as randimiller [01:04] h4writer: you can use: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites; for that [01:04] Serengaeth, it's a fresh install of natty or just and upgrade? [01:05] trism, isn't there either [01:05] DrNoone: I'm currently running from a USB drive... am I going to have to install before Skype will run? [01:06] is apache sufficient to run multiple websites on a server? [01:06] Serengaeth, try activating other repositories besides the default ones [01:06] randimiller: Yes [01:06] DrNoone: Can I copy/paste you the three lines of dependencies that aren't being met, please? [01:07] randimiller: It depends on the kind of app, the traffic you expect, etc. Under the right circumstances, yes. [01:07] how can i install nethack falconseye or vultureseye? [01:07] thank you qin [01:07] Apache wn't be your bottleneck, though. [01:07] so does anyone know what happens when resize2fs get terminated before it finisshes? [01:07] Serengaeth, ok [01:07] michaeltomer: just simple blogs [01:08] randimiller: PHP, Ruby, Python, static html files, etc? [01:08] I use apache right now locally but not for live sites [01:08] h4writer: which app are you trying to pin? [01:08] michaeltomer: PHP, and html [01:09] Using Wrodpress or something similar? [01:09] yes [01:09] ^Wordpress [01:09] I imagine you'll be fine with low traffic. [01:09] Doonz: In bast scenario, partition will ba raw, so you can recover it, in worst unredable (chances to brick hard drive). [01:09] *best [01:09] uggggg [01:09] trism, 'firefox nightly' (just downloaded binary from firefox and ran). So it is actually just a command: ~/Build/firefox/firefox [01:09] Maybe even moderate traffic depending on the hardware, mostly constrained by RAM. [01:10] running on 16gigs of ram [01:10] would that be fine? [01:10] You'll be just fine. [01:10] trism, I also tried dconf-editor, same story [01:10] Doonz: it is local server or vps? [01:10] remote server [01:10] Hey guys, anyone having issues with xterm (slowdowns, freezes) on 11.04? === Bar_ is now known as Bartzy [01:11] Doonz: so you have root console? [01:11] i can ssh into it yes [01:11] just tired of paying for hosting when I have spare boxes to use for it [01:11] atari_314: I've been fine so far, but I only upgraded esterday. [01:11] Doonz: I mean cpanel or something [01:11] no [01:11] its my own server at home im just at work [01:11] Hi, I've got a quick question about the sound settings. Is there a way to limit volume to 100%? The way it's now I can freely go way beyond 100 % volume which is really annoying when using volume controls to adjust volume. [01:11] exit [01:12] its pretty weird, if I type too fast the xterm freeze for a few... or just slow blood down :( [01:12] Doonz: and partition you resising.. is it system one or just new hard drive? [01:12] m0sand: not unless you find explicit scripting [01:12] i expanded a hardware array from 5tb to 10tb [01:12] randimiller: If it's a home connection, the only hing that might concern me would be if you have an asymmetric connection. [01:12] ^thing [01:12] so now i just resized the partition to use up all the space and now the filesystem is sresizing [01:13] What does it mean with the following error message? [01:13] 2011-05-13 16:41:57 3780 2 Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:990... [01:13] 2011-05-13 16:41:57 3780 2 Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".

[01:13] h4writer: ahh, that is why, the launcher needs a .desktop file, right click on the desktop, choose create launcher, and make one for firefox, and you should be good (drag and drop it to the launcher) [01:13] ackt1c, ah.. Ok, it's weird though. I mean, it's not a good default thing to have :S [01:14] it's through cable [01:14] h4writer: you can actually move it somewhere else before dragging it to the launcher if you don't want it cluttering up your desktop [01:14] trism, I tried that already, but the problem is then, that unity doesn't match the window with the launcher [01:14] Doonz: I'd rather leave it, and try to fix it localy in case of failure, but 5 to 10tb will take time. [01:14] h4writer: yes, it probably still has many bugs like that, probably not much you can do [01:14] yeah i was told that i would have to do the resize2fs part manually [01:15] h4writer: except looking for a bug and/or filing one [01:15] so my plan was to only use gparted to grow the partition [01:15] then log into the server console through me ip-kvm and run the resize2fs from there [01:15] i didnt know that it would do the resize2fs part automatically [01:15] randimiller: Cable isn't idea, because you're sharing your connection with other subscribers in your area. You also probably have relatively low upload speed. [01:16] trism, yeah I was actually hoping they used a .desktop file with an additional rule to improve matching. (like awn does). That's why I was desperate to hunt that .desktop file down ;) [01:16] trism, ty for all the help [01:16] ^ideal [01:16] michaeltomer: yea didn't really think about that [01:16] Doonz: Yes, gparted have some weak points. [01:16] maybe I will test it out with one blog and see how it does [01:16] yeah like the part of it actually doing the resize of the fs [01:16] Can't hurt, right?

[01:23] why is it that in Natty when I print >1 page the spooler will spool each page individually [01:23] it takes like 2 minutes to print 5 pages [01:23] on a laser printer that normally takes about 5 seconds per page [01:24] so it'll print a page, then the printing will stop, then it will print another, then stop another 20 seconds, then start again until the pages are done [01:24] why doesn't it do them all in one shot?

[01:38] Hey guys, just bought a new SSD (my first) and went for a fresh natty install, it didnt allow me to install grub so i had to do it manually, and now when i boot up i get a grub prompt and cant get past it, this is the result of my boot info script: http://pastie.org/1898804 [01:39] lucas-arg, only with nvidia I hear === Wolf is now known as Guest1123 [01:39] robin0800: nouveau... yes nvidia... no idea about a fix?

[01:42] I need to uninstall Python 2.6 and install Python 2.7 on Ubuntu. How do I do it? [01:42] is there a layout online with the key combos? [01:42] FordPrefect, apt-get (maybe with sudo) --purge (will delete configs aswell) remove [01:42] FordPrefect: python 2.7 is the default python in new versions [01:43] I have both 2.6 and 2.7 [01:43] will cause dependency issues for sure [01:43] FordPrefect: why do you want to get rid of 2.6? [01:43] and 2.6 is causing me module problems [01:43] I cant run a module on 2.6 that i need [01:43] i would install it into a seperate $HOME directory when possible [01:43] the second software (and builkd that from source) [01:43] because you're using 2.7? [01:43] is the right command? [01:43] but its just my humble opinion [01:43] you probably don't want to do that [01:43] so handle with care, please [01:44] the reason that python 2.6 is still around, is most likely due to other packages depending on it [01:44] removing 2.6 would cause them to break [01:44] I see. [01:44] but how is it you're having a module problem? [01:44] anyone know how to fix moving window slowness on intel i2500 onboard gfx?

It won't print one after another without delay, there will be a 20 second delay in between each page [01:53] it keeps spooling each page individually [01:53] until they're all done [01:53] ttytt, have you checked all the printer driver settings [01:54] what printer do you have [01:54] robin0800, what would i check specifically [01:54] i tried installing the driver from the site [01:54] Brother MFC 8440 [01:54] ttytt: Has it worked in previous Ubuntu versions?

[01:58] ttytt, then it must be a setting on either the application or on the CUPS server, I have an ubuntu server and there is a slight delay whenever I print anything [01:58] Max-P: Ubuntu server by default is far from minimal.

[02:01] Max-P, well this is an ubuntu channel, not for ubuntu server, then debian and ubuntu server are different, minimal doesnt necessarily mean it will use less memory, dont install any services on ubuntu server and youll have low memory usage [02:01] dstsdfsd [02:02] Max-P, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [02:04] Does anyone have experience with gpg?

[02:57] kernel patch [02:58] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607256/ [02:58] anyone? [02:58] Gskellig: by kernel patch, you talking about source code patches. look at the code it patches and see what they changed. Or look at the change log. [02:58] papna_: is 8 G size of the usb ? [02:59] DasEi: 500 G [02:59] i can see it [02:59] if its made for a different kernel, its incompatible right? [02:59] there isnt anything that *seems* kernel specific in the code though [02:59] its pretty short and simple [02:59] http://dev.iksaif.net/attachments/111/asus-laptop.patch [03:00] Gskellig: maybe maybe not.. all the different kernels start with the same kernel.. they just add there own patches to it.. [03:00] So... I cut my cord (Axed my vista partition) and I want to upgrade my Bios... its only available as a windows binary... any idea's? [03:00] papna_: maybe an old raid ? sudo gparted, or is there data expected on the external drive ? [03:00] if I apply it can anything bad happen? [03:01] DasEi: It wasn't in a RAID array. [03:01] DasEi: There is data expected. [03:01] Gskellig: patch looks fairly benign to me.. [03:01] hilarie: wrong place here, use a bottable dos-usb and put the binary out, boot from usb, don't forget flash utility [03:01] DasEi: I had it hooked up internally fine. [03:01] okay, how DO i go about applying it? [03:01] papna_: sata.. hmm, jumpers on it ? [03:01] Gskellig: if you asking, you probably don't want to know.. [03:01] ? [03:01] =/ [03:02] DasEi It's only available as a .exe [03:02] Are you saying like a BartPE? [03:02] compile my own kernel? [03:02] hilarie: pm me [03:02] Gskellig: you will need to do some c coding and recompile the kernel sources into a custom kernel to apply it. [03:02] sigh [03:02] jeez [03:02] DasEi Could you PM me haven't figured out Xchat yet [03:02] will the server edition work on a laptop ok? [03:02] well [03:02] no brightness controls for me then =/ [03:02] InteliWasp: Sure, but it's not what you want. [03:03] DasEi: Works when hooked up to my laptop, so I doubt that's it. I hesitate to pull it while it's ostensibly spinning. [03:03] InteliWasp: its the same as the desktop-edition, just with a pae-kernel [03:03] Gskellig: can be done. Here is a howto for debian. same procedure would work.. ( intressting learning project) [03:03] http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_kernel_2.6_compile_debian [03:03] 20m is brilliant tonight ! [03:03] papna_: er let me clarafy, i have a old laptop i want to run with some services ie: mumble apache mysql.... [03:03] InteliWasp: and without ubuntu-desktop [03:03] oh wrong chan. [03:04] InteliWasp: Oh. [03:04] InteliWasp: Yeah sure. [03:04] thanks [03:04] hi just need little help building wine from source and configure script says i have missing libjpeg-dev (wont accept 62 dev version so i installed version 8) but when i try again configure it says im missing libtiff-dev witch depends on libjpeg62-dev have no idea what to do .. is there any way to install both libjpeg-dev versions or somehow install libtiff-dev with libjpeg8-dev? [03:04] but there is no gui at all on it? [03:04] DasEi: Ope, think I found something that suffices. [03:04] InteliWasp: correct [03:04] DasEi: I had tried two USB ports, both that bounced off the internal hub. [03:05] apoage: or just install wine from repository [03:05] DasEi: Plugging in to the back of the box seems to work. [03:05] papna_: just to be sure, usb-utils installed ? ah, ic [03:05] Crash1hd, nouveau probably supports xrandr [03:05] InteliWasp: but you can install the gui if you want but its the same as the desktop-version without a gui and with pae-kernel, no other differences [03:06] papna_: look up your bios, if legacy support is on and all hubs are activated, though dmesg found it [03:06] escott, xrandr I will look into it thanks :) [03:06] well i guess i can do with out a gui... time to dust off the old command book :P [03:06] papna_, as long as it isn't listed in mount then it is fine to yank the cord [03:07] Crash1hd, gnome-display-properties for the gui [03:07] escott: My hesitation was to pull the drive out of its enclosure while it was spinning. [03:07] Xaevo, well it would be fine i just need version 1.3.20 which is not yet in wine/ubuntu repositories (ppa's) [03:07] escott: Not to pull a USB cord out of the computer. [03:07] papna_, oh yes... sorry i thought you meant pull a usb cord [03:07] papna_, agreed not a good idea to hot pull a sata connector [03:12] escott,papna : sataII is hotplugable, even internal, spinning up or in write can cause trouble [03:14] escott, ok it seems that is what I am using [03:15] escott, its only an issue with the resolution when I connect via x11vnc and at that its not everytime [03:16] escott, also if it happens and I run the gnome-display-properties while in vnc it is limited to 1024 but if I close vnc go to the machine and run gnome display properties it goes back to 1280*1024 automatically so its something to do with x11vnc [03:16] and I figure something to do with xinerama [03:16] DasEi, in other words if you tell the kernel to power down the device you can remove it [03:17] Crash1hd, yeah i don't know anything about vnc [03:17] escott: I already just plugged it, once there was no sound from reads/writes :-D [03:17] escott, no problem thanks anyhow :) [03:19] hi. i have a simple shell script that runs two commands. each requires sudo. when i click the launcher to run the script it works fine but i do have to enter my sudo password in a terminal that pops up. i want to make it so i do not need to enter my password to run this script via launcher. can anyone help? [03:20] jon5000, google for setuid [03:20] jon5000, when do you want to run this? [03:20] awhitehatter, ideally when i start the computer and/or when i click the launcher [03:21] jon5000: You can run it when you start the computer from /etc/rc.local at least [03:22] jon5000, the when you start is easy add it to rc.local, for the when i click you need to chown it to root, and mark it as setuid [03:22] jon5000: man sudoers, you can make specific commands not require passwords. [03:22] DasEi: Thanks. [03:22] et al [03:22] i looked at sudoers. way over my head [03:22] papna_: welcome [03:23] is setuid easier? [03:23] Hi, I am currently running 10.04 32-bit, I want to start creating Android apps, do I need a 64-bit installation to run the JDK? [03:24] jon5000, setuid is easier/potentially less secure depending on exactly what you want to do. be sure to remove write permissions from others if you go setuid, and be careful with any arguments passed to the script [03:24] Chubcorp: not that I know of [03:24] heya. i have slight problem with unbuntu 10.4.2 if someone can help [03:24] !ask [03:24] 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).

Version 1.9.13-5 (natty), package size 114 kB, installed size 1360 kB [03:25] syrinx, Ok thanks [03:25] (left shift) [03:25] its because I tried installing mainline kernels to improve my battery life [03:25] worked on wubi =/ but not on real ubuntu [03:26] jon5000: but mind the security flaw if it takes user interaction [03:26] Gashadokuro, possible could have gotten corrupted in the download? Did you try to download a new instance? === kids is now known as Real [03:26] also i tried the newest one, but when i tried booting it gave me "Could not find kernelt img: vesamenu.c32" [03:26] possibly. i used the torrent on the site to get it [03:26] Gashadokuro: universal is pretty crappy, use unetbootin [03:26] jon5000: another way is a single group just for that script, then allow root on it [03:26] hey guys, i watch alot of internet radio with video, what program would you guys recomend me using? [03:26] hmm ok i'll give that a try right now, thanks syrinx [03:26] Gashadokuro: and check the md5 on the iso [03:27] kjxl9: zattoo [03:27] make sure it downloaded right :D [03:27] Gashadokuro, I second what syrinx_ said, Unetbootin way better. [03:27] kjxl9: also there is miro, and others oc [03:28] DasEi, didnt allow me to change permissions [03:28] jon5000: erm, prefix with sudo [03:28] both cmd's [03:28] Why does unity dash take so long to open? It used to open fast when I did a fresh install [03:29] sudo apt-get install zattoo didnt work [03:29] Gskellig, its best not to remove a kernel until you are 100% confident the new one works, but dpkg -l *linux* and then dpkg -r specific-version-you-want-to-remove [03:29] DasEi, ah. got it [03:29] ok whitehatter i'll give it a try. thanks guys [03:29] escott, i installed a new one and thats the broken one =/ [03:29] thanks [03:29] !zattoo [03:29] kjxl9: third party, goto go to their HP, register via email (no charge) and installl the deb [03:29] So I'm using php5 with php5-cgi front with nginx and tried installing php5-gd after and it didn't add the gd lib to php5-cgi or php5-cli any ideas? [03:29] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my tower and I got a kernel panic during a sudo apt-get upgrade and also during a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer. Anyone have any idea what's causing the kernel panics? [03:29] DasEi, that took. but when i launch it still asks for sudo paswd [03:30] Gskellig, it may complain about matching headers and modules, just remove everything with matching versions [03:30] got it [03:30] is there a way to check the exact name of kernels i have installed [03:30] asked in #php not sure if it's an ubuntu package bug or php hopefully someone in either has went through it :/ [03:30] other than looking at it in grub [03:30] i don't feel like registering to anything atm, what programs are available from synaptic? [03:30] Gskellig, the dpkg -l will list all installed packages with "ii" in front of them, down to exact versions [03:30] Why does my unity dash take so long to open? [03:31] of course =P [03:31] thanks [03:31] Gskellig: synapcit, startupmanager [03:31] synaptic* [03:31] jon5000: ok, then re-own script and use visudo for that that script [03:31] jon5000: sudo chown $USER yourscript.sh [03:32] jon5000, if it is setuid then sudo is not needed because the entire script runs as root [03:32] while installing startupmanager: Errors were encountered while processing: [03:32] linux-image-2.6.39-020639rc4-generic [03:32] jon5000: sudo visudo [03:32] jon5000, you could also gksudo gedit yourscript.sh [03:32] jon5000: add a line : [03:33] Gskellig, you may need to remove anything that matches that version so dpkg -l *2.6.39* [03:33] yeah [03:33] thats what i thought [03:34] using dpkg to uninstall anything 2.6.39 related now [03:34] jon5000: UserNameHere ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD /path/to/yourscript.sh [03:35] Good afternoon. Ubuntu 11.04 when I am watching a video with totem, and change the tab to another task... I can still looking the video. [03:35] set username and pathñame to correct values ^ [03:35] thats alot of work to get a script to run :/ [03:35] yay [03:35] update-grub only shows the .38's [03:35] thanks === me is now known as Guest80752 [03:35] DasEi, how do i re-own the script? [03:35] startupmanager works now too [03:36] DasEi, chown what... [03:36] jon5000: sudo chown $USER yourscript.sh [03:36] DasEi, $user as is or do i need to change that to something? [03:36] jon5000: also: it is marked as executable, nor ? [03:37] $USER not $user, jon5000 [03:37] DasEi, yes it is executable. it works just asks for paswd [03:37] ah, sure [03:37] now that i know hwo to fix that [03:38] going to try the 2.6.38 mainline kernels now [03:38] when this worked on wubi my power consumption dropped like a watt [03:38] oh yeah one more thing, how do i automatically run commands on boot? [03:38] Gskellig, rc.local === nicksa is now known as sary [03:40] Gskellig: hit your windows key and type 'startup' without the quotes and then click on the "Startup Applications" and from there it's very easy. [03:40] fell free to whisper me if you you need any help using the startup wizard === dfgas is now known as dfgas-360 [03:41] thankyou [03:41] seems pretty straight forward =/ [03:42] ^_^ [03:42] when I do git commit -a and it calls pico or nano automatically it tells me Error reading /home/cordoval/.nano_history: Permission denied, but this does not happen in a regular setup, what am I doing wrong? [03:42] anyone know why slim login screen isn't working in 11.04 [03:42] DasEi, visudo is telling me there is syntax error. this is the line i added: jon ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD /home/jon/bin/connect.sh [03:42] Gimp is too complicated, is there anything else...like mspaint? [03:43] cordoval, check the permissions of .nano_history, maybe you did a sudo nano at one point and chown'ed th history file [03:43] escott: hi I remember you will do that now [03:43] escott: it says it is owned by root [03:44] TurkuSama, kpaint, libre-office draw, assorted photo editors, assorted vector editors as well, see what is in synaptic [03:44] Why does unity dash take so long to open? [03:44] ubuntuguysssss: because it's bloated [03:44] thanks escott [03:44] Explain? [03:44] cordoval, sudo chown $USER:$USER .nano_history [03:44] escoot: .pearrc is also owned by root [03:44] from what i've been gathering the general consensus is everybody hates unity [03:44] jon5000: jon ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD : /home/jon/bin/connect.sh , and consider a folder under your home, or that get's next issue [03:44] and cant wait for the new gnome [03:44] so chown is like cacls? [03:44] not much to explain, it's more taxing on the system than gnome2 is [03:44] Gskellig, it grows on you but there is also !classic [03:45] !classic [03:45] 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. [03:45] =( [03:45] 10.10 UNR on my EEEPC 1000HE was not even usable [03:45] because of unity [03:45] !Unity [03:45] 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. [03:45] cordoval, yeah be careful with the sudo-ing not all apps verify that $HOME is /root/ before creating files [03:46] Hello. I'm trying to share my Internet connection that my XP desktop has with my Net-book running Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. I think I have everything right on the XP end right, but I don't know where to start in Ubuntu. [03:46] Gskellig: least now we no the factoid, only defaulting to classic still missing ;) [03:46] know* [03:46] escott: I did a lot of things [03:46] DasEi, what do you mean by 'and consider......'? [03:46] =/ [03:46] should be an option on install [03:46] in my opinion [03:46] how can I pair my bluetooth mouse and keyboard to my macbook pro running 11.04? [03:46] Is the Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 version unstable? [03:46] Gskellig: switching back is easy enough [03:46] is there a keyboard combo for hibernating in gnome? I just had a freak hibernate [03:46] purvis: seems pretty stable for me [03:46] the applet doesn't have anything for pairing [03:46] DasEi, that command syntax worked and it saved i think. but when i run, it still asks for paswd [03:47] think i'd get better battery life by switching back to gnome? [03:47] jon5000: mkdir ~/scripts [03:47] jon5000, im puzzled as to why setuid wasn't working for you [03:47] Hey folks -- is there a way in synaptic to see what programs I've personally marked for installation? I wanna check for things I haven't used in a while [03:47] jon5000: move script there [03:47] DasEi, he has it in $HOME/bin [03:48] unity question: i activate windows previews, but now i want deactivate the text popup, how i do that? [03:48] I love unity [03:48] !resetpanel [03:48] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:48] well everytime I try to install something through apt-get i get a kernel panic or the entire system freezes during the operation [03:48] I just wish it was more customizable [03:48] escott: righty [03:48] Gskellig, if you drop to unity-2d or metacity maybe [03:48] jon5000: you set a personal dir bin under home ? fine then [03:48] us unity 3d? [03:49] I'm trying to share my Internet connection that my XP desktop has with my Net-book running Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. I think I have everything right on the XP end right, but I don't know where to start in Ubuntu. [03:49] Good news! I have the transnote working! And only after three hours! :D Now, what ubuntu type should I put in it? It has a 600 MHz processor, a pentium IIIm I believe. 10 gig HDD. 191Mib ram. any suggestions? [03:49] DasEi, that is what i did. so i will leave it alone. but its still not working for me [03:49] Overlord-sirus: lubuntu or minimal with icewm [03:49] xubuntu Overlord-sirus [03:49] is there a keyboard combo for hibernation in gnome? I just had a freak hibernate (and my first thought was to ask IRC, so sorry if a google search yields a quick answer) [03:49] escott, setuid made my tiny brain hurt [03:49] ignore what i said [03:49] thats even better [03:50] lol [03:50] It seems to be ok with running YLMF OS [03:50] jon5000, if you script looks like "#!/bin/bash\ncommand args" then sudo chown root:root script.sh; sudo chmod 755 script.sh; sudo chown u+s script.sh should work. you just need to remove the "sudo" from your script [03:50] I don't know I'm running on an Acer Aspire 3820T-5246 and it's running great [03:50] hey i think thats my PC [03:50] been thinking about lubuntu or puppy linux [03:50] nvm [03:50] E380 [03:50] both are great distros [03:50] what ever happened to xubuntu [03:51] I want my load of nubuntu on it but I let someone borrow it D: === Simath- is now known as Simath [03:51] now I forget, Lubuntu runs off of RM like PUPPY right? [03:51] jon5000, setuid is conceptually simple it runs the script as the owner, no matter who that is. you want to run it as joe, then chown it to joe, and setuid. when it is run it is joe. if for root then you won't need to sudo because it runs as root [03:51] RAM* [03:51] Xubuntu is live and well... especially on my machine. [03:52] Overlord-sirus: ram is quite low, though xubuntu via alternate installer will do, too, but heavier than icewm [03:52] anyone have any idea why su doesn't work in terminal I am running ubuntu studio 11.04 [03:52] !xubuntu [03:52] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[03:52] Overlord-sirus: no, lubuntu is a derivate for low ressources, ubuntu-core [03:52] duh [03:52] ty [03:52] I'm trying to share my Internet connection that my XP desktop has with my Net-book running Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. I think I have everything right on the XP end right, but I don't know where to start in Ubuntu. [03:53] jon5000, sorry chmod u+s [03:53] -_- [03:53] ftm_common: try sudo -i to root [03:53] Flynn: what exactly are you trying to do? [03:53] it still said authentication error === clueless is now known as Guest48949 [03:53] connect my net-book to the internet through my desktop [03:54] how do you plan to do that? [03:54] ftm_common, you are putting in YOUR password right, not what you think might be roots password [03:54] yes [03:55] syrinx, shared internet connection, I guess. [03:55] !ics > Flynn [03:55] Flynn, please see my private message [03:55] hi my minimise and close has disappeared ... the whole title bar is missing [03:55] escott, i will be right back. i think that may have worked tho. [03:55] i want to deactivate the text popup on the unity panel, how i do that? [03:55] hmm this is odd I can ping 192.168.2.100 but I cant ping the dns name version of the same [03:55] ftm_common: if it says that you are not in sudoers file, it means that your account don't have admin privillages, try a different account [03:55] i did something in compiz .. [03:56] !ics? [03:56] Flynn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:56] this is the only account i just reinstalled linux [03:56] ftm_common, does sudo whoami not work for you [03:57] Crash1hd, are you configured to have 192.168.1.1 (as your dns -- assuming that is where you dns server is) [03:57] it said root [03:58] ftm_common: :) [03:58] ftm_common, ok so "sudo -i" should get you a bash shell with root privileges [03:58] escott, yes mine is 192.168.2.1 but yes [03:59] thank you very much [03:59] Crash1hd, can you double check by catting /etc/resolve.conf [03:59] cat-ing [03:59] so. is there any way I can run a command automatically on startup AS ROOT? [03:59] Gskellig, /etc/rc.local [03:59] escott, hmm getting no such file or directory [03:59] alright [04:00] What's a good VNC viewer that can easily go into fullscreen? [04:00] !vnc | Some_Person [04:00] Some_Person: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:00] Some_Person, sorry thought that would give suggestions, apparently it doesnt [04:00] I just want a quick name [04:00] Some_Person, try ubuntuguide.org they have some good suggestions [04:01] Some_Person, try using x11vnc seems to work well [04:01] Ok, so you cannot connect ubuntu wirelessly to another computer and share its connection? [04:01] !ics [04:01] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [04:01] Flynn, sure you can, what direction are you trying to share, the ubuntu end or the other end [04:02] My icons suddenly changed, then half-way changed back. The things that are still different are my desktop icons and nautilus. How can I restore these to how I had them? (I know log off/log on would work, but I'm curious as to how I could avoid that) [04:02] escott, Um... The other computer has the connection to the internet. [04:02] escott, hmm I just realized I had to machines with the same dns name (wondering if that has something to do with it) changed one waiting to see what happens [04:02] in 11.04 my drives i have to right click mount then authenticate in order to mount my other hard drives [04:03] x11vnc is a server. I need a clinet [04:03] *client [04:03] can i still mount in fstab and the drives appear on my desktop [04:03] as they are now [04:03] Some_Person: I like xvnc4viewer [04:03] Flynn, ok so put the other machines wireless into managed or ad-hoc mode, and put the ubuntu end on the same essid, then set the ubuntu gateway to the other machines ip [04:03] gcc-4.6.0/gcc/gengtype-parse.c:987: undefined reference to `yyend' [04:03] Some_Person: Remmina Remote Desktop Client does fullscreen well.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:04] bazhang: he is flooding [04:05] escott, the other machine is XP not Ubuntu [04:05] papaya, every 15-20 minutes [04:05] ok [04:06] Flynn, then you have to "enable internet sharing" or whatever windows calls it. if windows refuses to put its wireless in ad-hoc or managed mode that would be challenging [04:06] do you have any idea on the missing close , and minimise ,, even the whole title bar is missing [04:06] zc00gii@eee:~$ sudo mkfs.msdos /dev/sdb [04:06] mkfs.msdos 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010) [04:06] mkfs.msdos: unable to open /dev/sdb [04:06] -_- [04:06] Hi, I have recently installed ubuntu on a large partition ubuntu and everything is using less than a tenth of the partition, Can I resize it at the end using Gparted to Increase the swap partition 'which is now only 4Gb or less/ without data loss or other issues?? [04:06] zc00gii: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:06] lolzer, unity or classic? [04:06] sorry abot that im back, if anyone answered please resend [04:07] escott, internet sharing is enabled [04:07] zc00gii, you mkfs on a partition not the entire drive [04:07] im on classic [04:07] escott, ah, I've been using linux for like 6 years, but had no computer for like, 6 months [04:08] Flynn, and can you associate to the windows machines network... note that sharing a connection is different from managing a wireless network, not sure if windows is smart enough to put the wifi into managed mode [04:08] i installed compiz .. that is where thing looked so wrong [04:08] Mjolnir: what was your question ? [04:09] lolzer, likely compiz is failing in some way and not able to draw the window borders. kill it and go back to metacity [04:09] escott, what do you mean "associate?" [04:09] escott, how can I clear the drive and fix it? [04:09] dasei hey guys need your help: im trying super hard to install ubuntu but no luck... i md5sumed it and it checks out OK... my bios are set properly and i can see it with my hardrives... [04:09] cfdisk doesn't want to work on it [04:09] zc00gii, the gui is easiest, sudo apt-get install gparted [04:09] hello folks. Can someone help me understand a vino-server problem that I am having. Since upgrading to natty, VNC is only available on localhost. I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748482 and when I start vino-server with --sm-disable it works fine. Why does it now work when I lauch it from System-Prefs-Remote destop? [04:09] I despise gparted [04:10] zc00gii, then sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [04:10] except when resizing partitions,, then it's a godsend [04:10] Mjolnir: your hardrive(s) are not found though bios finds it ? [04:10] Mjolnir: so...what happened? [04:10] escott, been forever since I've had to alter a filesystem [04:10] years [04:10] what do I do from there? [04:10] zc00gii, then mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 [04:11] zc00gii: first try ls /dev/sd* and see whether sdb is listed there or not [04:11] zc00gii, i use the gui so I don't know all the key commands, i think h for help (maybe ?) p for print the current table, w to write the table [04:11] thanks!! do you know how to make thins permanent ... [04:11] dasei, backwards, im guessing my bios cant find it idk i can see it in dolphin... but when i reboot nothing happens... and the CD's in there. also happening with my backtrack cd [04:11] lolzer, disable your desktop effects [04:12] escott, no no, I mean uh [04:12] in fdisk [04:12] Mjolnir: if your bios sees it can check in there, and also you have to set it to boot from cd [04:12] Flynn, does the ubuntu wireless show the network that the windows machine is [04:12] whhat do I do? [04:12] where can i find desktop effects?? in compiz?? [04:12] i want to deactivate the text popup on the unity panel, in maverick i found the option, now i can't [04:12] lolzer, no the desktop effects in preferences, change to none [04:12] how do you limit dom0 memory with grub2? [04:12] I can't find any docs on it. [04:13] hi all [04:13] lolzer, changing it to anything not-none was what brought compiz in [04:13] Does Ubuntu put any data in the end of its working ext filesystem? [04:13] Mjolnir: can you boot live-cd or not ? === ross is now known as Guest28881 [04:13] Flynn, when you shared the connection in windows did it ask you for a name under which to share the connection [04:13] dasei yup i have it set that way, for some reason its not reading it. i burned the live cd and popped it in, but doesnt do anything [04:14] escott, don't remember, h/o [04:14] txh: you mean in view of resizing ? no, but uuid changes then [04:14] k thanks again ... have a great day!! [04:15] Mjolnir: have you set bios to boot from cd ? do you have an usb , least 1 gb , handy ? [04:16] Flynn, if windows didn't ask you to establish a name then thats windows fault... and im not sure what you can do. you could try to put ubuntu into managed mode (so ubuntu is managing the network) and associate windows to it, and then set the gateway to the ip you give the windows machine -- but thats oddly backwards because windows should manage the wifi network, and serve out ips and set gateway and dns addresses through a dhcp serve [04:16] r running on windows [04:16] DasEi: what is uuid is that a problem? [04:16] escott I dont think so, I know my workgroup and computer names [04:16] dasei nope no usb on me and yup bios are set to CD first [04:16] txh: uuid is an unique identifier for partitons, used by grub and fstab to locate them [04:17] !blkid [04:17] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:17] zc00gii, i don't remember all the fdisk commands, you may not even need to run fdisk if the drive has the partition setup you want. cat /proc/partitions to see how sdb is configured, you could just mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 [04:17] Mjolnir: your current system ? [04:18] Mjolnir: could be a bad burn [04:18] dasei Dual XP/OpenSUSE - i want to put ubuntu and backtrack in the place of suse [04:18] syrinx_ i md5sum'd it tho, it checks out [04:18] escott, did you mean resolve.conf or resolv.conf? [04:19] Mjolnir: you md5'd the iso, not the disc... [04:19] Crash1hd, resolv.conf silly "abbreviate a filename by one letter) [04:19] Mjolnir: hmm, could try to install grub2, then resize, mount an iso in grub2, and install to the free.. hassle [04:20] syrinx_ whats the difference? the only thing on the disk is the iso [04:20] Mjolnir: try a different burning application on slow speed ? [04:20] Mjolnir: burn errors [04:20] escott, very silly lol :) but I have it open now :) what should I be looking for? my domain is set to my shaw connection domain cg.shawcable.net [04:20] same as search [04:20] and there are 3 nameserver all shaw ones [04:20] Crash1hd, just to confirm your dns is what you think it should be [04:20] escott, will ubuntu understand a windows "network setup disk?" [04:21] hi [04:21] escott, right checking the other machine [04:21] now [04:21] syrinx_ dasei i would say that too except the issue is with 1 ubuntu disk and 2 backtrack cd's too... confusing... [04:21] Flynn, no idea what a windows "network setup disk" is... but probably not [04:21] damn [04:21] syrinx_ dasei did i burnem all wrong? [04:21] it's possible... [04:21] escott, they are both right :) [04:21] I installed 11.04 from an ISO -- my wireless doesnt work out of the box on 11.04!!! Anyone knows a good link to install and configure wireless drivers ???? [04:21] Mjolnir: none of them work? [04:22] Mjolnir: did you actually checked the boot order in BIOS? try to disable boot from HDD once and ON the option boot from other devices [04:22] syrinx_ nope [04:22] Mjolnir: can't see it in my crystal ball, but had such issue few times [04:22] Crash1hd, so 192.168.2.1 was set as the first dns in the resolv.conf? [04:22] tucemiux, do you now what card? [04:22] Mjolnir: yea, id say burn errors, try burning one again at 8x [04:22] Gskellig, it's an intel wireless card [04:22] I guess I need a xp/ubuntu chat [04:22] escott, no its not in there [04:22] Mjolnir, and no jumping jacks while it is burning [04:23] youve checked additional drivers right? [04:23] escott, you mean like this nameserver 192.168.2.1 [04:23] Flynn: did you check the link I sent you? [04:23] Flynn: what problem are you having (sorry, not really been paying attention) [04:23] how do i install kubuntu in ubuntu? [04:23] Gskellig, Intel Pro 2200 wireless (802.11 b/g) [04:23] Crash1hd, well then it wont ask your dns, it will ask coxes who will happily say "I don't know anything about localdomain" [04:23] f**** i have to download again... and then burn... again... okay then [04:23] multipass: apt-get install kubuntu [04:24] syrinx what was it? [04:24] !ics | Flynn [04:24] Flynn: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [04:24] Mjolnir: if MD5 matches, don't [04:24] multipass: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [04:24] multipass: yea, what DasEi said [04:24] escott, hmm ok odd cause my other machine sees them all just fine [04:24] o hmm crap, i was on a server without it, resetting to ubuntu US main servers then upating [04:24] thanks lol [04:24] pksadiq okay, then we'll do your way. except i didnt quiet get it [04:25] KM0201 sharing internet connection with xp [04:25] syrinx_, from what I gather Flynn problem is actually a windows problem. he needs win XP to manage (or make ad-hoc) its wifi card [04:25] wow [04:25] tucemiux, to my knowledge ipw2200 chipset is widely supported [04:25] multipass: afterwards switch default to kubuntu [04:25] escott, ok so the line should be nameserver 192.168.2.1 <-- the gateway [04:25] Mjolnir: yea, no reason to download again if the md5 checks out, just burn it again at a slow speed [04:25] hmm.. why not just get a router?.. they're like cheap nowdays [04:25] Crash1hd, yes but you should set that in network manager [04:25] escott: oh...wrong place then lol [04:25] syrinx, yeah it seems to be about a wired connection between the two computers [04:25] oh well coincidently i lost the file lol [04:26] Gskellig, iwconfig: no wireless connections -- this only happened with 11.04 install, all other previous installs I've done with ISO installed the wireless drivers, looks like my wireless drivers were phased out of box, I have to manually install now [04:27] thats VERY odd [04:27] escott, where is the network manager in system? [04:27] well [04:27] http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net [04:27] Gskellig, not odd at all, ive seen this happen with other hardware, like my printer [04:27] Flynn, your first difficulty is getting the wifi network established. it can be ad-hoc meaning it is unmanaged computers just sent traffic to everyone on a particular essid, or it can be hub-spoke topology managed. the natural configuration for you is to have win xp as the hub and linux as the spoke, and run a dhcp server on windows [04:27] its a pretty common wifi chipset though [04:27] tucemiux: happened to me in 10.10 with my wifi card in my netbook [04:27] Windows doesn't play nice with Mac, Linux, or other versions of Windows. [04:27] Hey guys, is there a "start" menu in unity (not just a search menu)? [04:28] Crash1hd, in the gui it is your network icon in the top left, just edit connections. there is also a command line client [04:28] wonginator1221: prefrences, startupapplications ? or install [04:28] !bum [04:28] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:28] IF anyone lives in SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA. And would be willing to sell me some Psychedelics. I will be your best friend forever. [04:29] LF-LSD: no [04:29] Tripple Sad Face [04:29] syrinx_, yup yup this is the first time I will have to deal with it, I only installed from ISO because I ran out of space on root, I'll be upgrading from now on though [04:29] !ot | LF-LSD [04:29] LF-LSD: #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! [04:29] escott, I've had a network established for a while, but never shared a connection from one computer to the next. Just through the router. [04:29] Don't go all blue test on me [04:29] Flynn, if you can't get winxp to manage the network you could have ubuntu manage the network, and try to reverse everything up where the gateway is a client of the managed network, and the dns server would have to be hard-coded to something like 8.8.8.8 [04:29] I know what I am doing. [04:29] Could someone please help me setup my private key on this new Ubuntu machine so I can ssh into a remote server? I converted the key from PuTTy format to OpenSSH format and pasted it in ~/.ssh/id_rsa but it still refuses to log in [04:29] LF-LSD: stop that here [04:29] escott, hmm I see Computer and Home Folder on desktop (in gui) [04:30] Crash1hd, top right next to the volume icon [04:30] DasEi: Is there a way i can navigate to start a program similar to gnome? [04:30] Huji, needs to be in .ssh/auth_keys or something like that [04:30] DasEi: As opposed to searching than starting it. [04:30] escott, ahh up there :) [04:30] wonginator1221: switch to gnome classic [04:31] Huji, nevermind. read that wrong [04:31] wonginator1221: you look for a particular prog ? look in /usr/bin [04:31] escott: I think you're right. I'm trying to figure out the format of that file tho [04:31] escott, that's too technical for me to understand. I know I'm using a name of a fictitious computer guru but, I'm far far from that! === Aftermath is now known as Afteraffekt [04:31] I love powertop: Power usage (ACPI estimate): 5.8W (10.0 hours) [04:32] Huji, no im wrong the auth_key is for the server (you add your public key to the list of auth keys on the machine you try to login to) [04:32] escott, in IPv4 I have it set to Method Automatic (DHCP) [04:32] escott: Oh, right [04:32] So I just add my key in the id_rsa file? [04:32] wonginator1221: gnome-session-properties in terminal [04:32] syrinx_: I know i could do that, but I enjoy using unity. I just never realized that I there was no "applications" menu [04:32] Crash1hd, so you need to change it to addresses only, and then hardcode the dns, with 192.168.2.1 first, use google 8.8.8.8 second [04:32] :/ [04:32] notice how when you bring windows into this channel the problems never get solved [04:32] =/ [04:33] mhmm [04:33] DasEi: I'm not looking for start up applications [04:33] DasEi: But thanks for the help anyways [04:33] wonginator1221: apps are mainly in /usr/bin [04:33] Flynn, sorry its just hard to explain all this. you have the network layer which is the wifi connection with essids and the like. usually a computer manages that and says "you are allowed to transmit traffic on this network, you are not", but in ad-hoc anyone can transmit with essid="My Network" [04:33] Gskellig: windows won't exists without (back)doors, for crackers ;) [04:34] moin [04:34] is jemand wach der mir bei nem firefox-problem helfen kann? [04:34] Flynn, then you have the ip addresses and gateways, what the phone numbers of the computers on the network are, and who to call for long-distance (the internet) [04:34] !de | KuTi_ [04:34] KuTi_: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. === root is now known as Guest26143 [04:34] ok [04:34] Flynn, finally you have the dns (domain name service) which is who to call for directory assistance [04:35] wonginator1221: I *think* you can search for an app, right click it, and there should be an option to add it to the launcher [04:35] other than that, I have no idea [04:36] Flynn, in your config windows is failing you in the first step. it needs to establish the network and manage it. if it refuses to do so, then linux can set that up, but everything is backwards... the phone company wants you to call jacks house for long distance, and has no idea how to get directory assistance [04:36] wonginator1221: no, that's gnome, in unity got to hangle through the wobbly menu [04:37] Huji, did you convert the public or private key? [04:37] I converted the private key from PuTTy format (which I used on windows) to openSSH format [04:37] DasEi: Interesting design choice. [04:37] escott, I know I can share files with these computers, so they can detect each other. How do I know [04:38] ... [04:38] wonginator1221: you can easily switch default to gnome [04:38] Flynn, first can you ping the windows machine from ubuntu? [04:38] syrinx_: the program needs to be started first (which puts it in the launch bar) then you can right click and add it. [04:38] (specifically) how do I do that? [04:38] Flynn, and you may need to be sharing the ethernet connection on windows.... im not really sure what windows means when it says sharing [04:38] wonginator1221: ah, I see [04:38] escott: Then I saved it on ~/.ssh/id_rsa [04:39] escott: and now when I do ssh -l USER blah.domain.com it asks for a password, and doesn't get logged in [04:39] DasEi: I actually do not mind this issue at all. I was just curious if there was a way to add this option without reverting back to gnome [04:39] escott. that may be a problem, the computer only has on ethernet port. [04:39] Huji, can you confirm that ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa doesn't work [04:40] escott, so how do i ping it? [04:40] !ssh | Huji [04:40] Huji: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [04:40] Flynn, because you have to transmit traffic through both and run dns-masq (NAT) on the windows machine [04:40] greetings, I am trying to get wifi on my laptop working. Can wifi work with ubuntu? [04:40] wonginator1221: I'm no unity-guru, but from what I now can't have the gnome-panel there as it doesn't use common x nomore, so I "think" that won't mix [04:41] Flynn, i know how to do all this if the situation is reverse, not a clue how to do it on windows [04:41] know* [04:41] escott: You mean ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa SOME.SERVER.COM right? It doesn't work [04:41] lorenz: no, nobody uses wifi w/ ubuntu... come on now. [04:41] Omega: Didn't help :( [04:41] Huji, and it doesn't warn you at all [04:41] okay, sorry [04:41] lorenz: whats your wifi device? [04:41] or do you not know? [04:41] KM0201, sorry about that--I need wifi, I didn't know [04:41] escott: no [04:41] lorenz: whats your wifi device, or do you not know [04:41] lorenz: he was joking [04:41] KM0201, Ubuntu is nice and all but that is why I bought the laptop [04:42] escott, would it be easier to install ubuntu on the desktop? [04:42] .. [04:42] Huji, it sounds like you converted the key right... but i always get confused with which key you need where. i think its that you need the private on the machine soliciting the connection and the public in auth_keys on the server [04:42] Oh [04:42] lorenz: do you ... know.. what.. your... wifi.. device... is [04:42] Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [04:42] syrinx_, there is nobody awake [04:42] escott: correct [04:42] syrinx_ dasei and guys, im burning ubuntu at slowest possible speed, 10x(K3B). is there a specific writing mode? or just leave it on auto? [04:42] lorenz: that device works out of the box w/ ubuntu.. i've got 3 laptops w/ that device [04:42] Mjolnir: auto is good [04:42] ar eyou sure thats what you have? [04:42] lorenz: atheros drivers are included in the kernel [04:42] escott: Right. And note that I'm using this same private key (before conversion) in Windows with PuTTy successfully [04:42] syrinx_ k thanks [04:43] KM0201, 'enable wireless' is greyed over [04:43] Flynn, if the hardware is well supported there are lots of people on this channel (and lots of howtos online) for this kind of stuff [04:43] DasEi, hi. I took a nap. now going out. but I saw it and I want the line and I request a PM. RE tripelb: for lucid ? I re-tried in a vm, want the line ? [04:43] lorenz: what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:43] syrinx_, 'enable wireless is greyed over' [04:43] KM0201, How do I find that out? [04:43] tripelb: si,si, una momento, digging out [04:43] lorenz: If you're lucky you can hook it up to ethernet, and use propriatary drivers to dl the drivers, that could work. (of course if you've already done that, or someone else suggested it and I didn't notice, no problem). [04:44] lorenz: open a terminal and type this... "lsb_release -a" no quotes and hit enter [04:44] Flynn, the biggest potential issue would be the wireless card in the desktop. is it well supported by ubuntu, and does the ubuntu driver support running it in managed mode. some wireless are not supported in anything but client mode [04:44] lorenz: make sure thre's a space after release [04:44] escott is 5 gigs big enough? Or maybe a smaller distro that uses less memory? [04:44] KM0201, 10.04 [04:44] lorenz: that device shoudl work out of the box w/ 10.04. [04:44] no problem [04:44] lorenz: did you install or are you running the livecd/usb? [04:44] Flynn, i don't think ubuntu would fit in 5 gigs, but a basic debian certainly would. you don't need the gui [04:45] tripelb: sudo software-properties-gtk --enable-ppa=psyke83/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer [04:45] I also have an ssh client issue with one of my ubuntu 11.04 boxes. There is one particular group of server that gets stuck on "debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP", however all of my other unix boxes have no trouble sshing into it. Googling and trying various "fixes" did not resolve the issue === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:45] Flynn, you could do all this off a usb-stick livecd just to make sure it works [04:45] escott, I have no idea, Belkin wireless adapters are pretty common though. [04:45] syrinx_, Live CD with internet connection...hard wire [04:45] syrinx_: it should work even on the live cd.. it even supports a network install on the alt. cd [04:45] Flynn, figure out the exact model and ask the channel [04:45] escott: figured it out. It was a stupid permission problem. Chmod again fixed my issue [04:45] KM0201: it doesn't. I didn't for me [04:45] escott: Thanks though [04:45] KM0201, I get no wireless signals and 'enable wireless' in greyed over [04:45] I've tried reinstalling Openssh client and server but i still have had no luck [04:45] KM0201: until I actually installed, dunno why though :/ [04:46] syrinx_: maybe it was debian i used afor a network install.. but that device definitely works on a live CD.. it has since.. 9.04?.. 8.04 and 8.10, required a patch [04:46] KM0201, And I do not know how to ungrey it, or in other words, get the signal tyo pick up [04:46] fresh install 11.04 gimp fails ! ! ! ! ! !!!! [04:46] lorenz: are you installed, or are you on the live cd? [04:46] KM0201, Installed [04:46] segmentation fault [04:46] lorenz: also, are you using 32 or 64bit [04:47] KM0201, 64 [04:47] Flynn, i should be saying "Master" instead of managed (both are part of managed, but you want Belkin as the master of the managed network) [04:47] hmm, maybe thats it.. cuz i only use 32bit [04:47] KM0201: lol, he just told me he was on the livecd [04:47] hmmmm [04:47] syrinx_: he's probably just trolling [04:47] tripelb: you then find it under sound & video [04:47] must be [04:47] KM0201, someone told me about hardware drivers search, and that brought up nothing. I got 'no proprietary drivers' [04:48] @ glib 2.28 [04:48] lorenz: because ath5k, is int he kernel, you don't need a driver search.. so either 1. you're not using ubuntu 10.04, 2. you're not using ubuntu period, or 3. there's a problem w/ 64bit ath5k.. like i said, iv'e never used 64bit. [04:48] syrinx_, I USED A LIVE CD TO INSTALL [04:48] Does anyone use a belkin basic wireless adapter f7d1101? [04:48] with me it is absent performs from firefox to close or minimise. can somebody help me? [04:49] lorenz: pretty much everyone here did [04:49] KM0201, My wifi does not work after I installed ubuntu with a live CD [04:49] I was told it would work, does anybody know how to enable it? [04:49] * KM0201 sighs [04:49] Or am I in the wrong channel? [04:49] lorenz: pastebin the output of lspci [04:49] !wifi | lorenz [04:49] lorenz: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:50] KM0201, http://pastebin.com/pD8qUPAy [04:51] is unity supose to resemble gnome3 [04:51] Flynn, if you get no response boot the livecd and see if you can run sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid test mode Master. if you can then everything should be pretty easy for you [04:51] TheBunTu, not really, but they have some similar design goals [04:51] ubottu, thanks [04:51] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:52] lorenz: i dunno, i have no explanation for your problem.... [04:52] lorenz: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot, triggered by "!" [04:52] I got a virus on my laptop and am trying ubuntu, but in the house I am in I only get a wifi location and am borrowing the wired connection [04:53] I have to go back to windows if I cant get this to work [04:53] escott, yeah gnome menu...witch looks like gnome3 menu....and that is part of gnome3 i dont like [04:53] No offense [04:53] I just need it [04:53] lorenz: http://pastebin.com/UR3xtsXU [04:53] !classic | TheBunTu [04:53] TheBunTu: 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. [04:53] lorenz: my suggestion, would be to download the current version of ubuntu, or if you just don't want to use unity, then download xubuntu or lubuntu [04:54] lorenz: I use win for gaming, too; see if you cann find your model in the list, or follow Km02.. [04:54] hi [04:54] Hey, anyone here mind checking if the website gnome-look.org works for you? I can't seem to access it, wondering if it's just me or their servers [04:54] i know that [04:54] DasEi, Yeah, Windows, right? [04:54] It seems there is really know way to get the wifi to work [04:54] mbaurskrey: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [04:54] uh, so, this is a netbook,small screen [04:54] lorenz: now we are in ubuntu, read the link or follow km02.. [04:55] I googled a search and other people have issues with my card [04:55] somethings like, awkwardly adjust when I click on the window each time [04:55] lorenz: i'm seriously thinking you're trolling. [04:55] using ubuntu [04:55] mbaurskrey: but down nonetheless [04:55] mbaurskrey: looks like it's down [04:55] so I can't usesome apps [04:55] Haha, thanks for the link. [04:55] Hey guys, I'm currently using Ubuntu 11.04 but I want to go back down to 10.10, I have a separate Home Partition... can I just keep the username and have all the settings import or would that cause incompatibility problems with config files and stuff? [04:55] ie evolution [04:55] if there was "no way to get wifi working".. then i wouldn't be using wifi right now. [04:55] KM0201, You need to make up your mind [04:55] KM0201, First you say it does not work, then it does--which is it? [04:55] Well, then does anyone have the Area o.42 icon set or know where to download it from outside of gnome-look.org [04:56] lorenz: uh no, you need to re-read what i said... the device works fine... but.. good luck figuring it out [04:56] ubuntu_guest: data will remain, not apps n configs, why not switch natty to gnome just ? [04:56] zc00gii, yeah evo is a bit of a screen hog, there are some lighter weight email clients that might be better suited to the hardware and screen size [04:56] KM0201, Okay, seriously--because it is important--how? [04:56] lorenz: i dunno... [04:56] What do I click to get it to work? [04:56] Anybody? [04:56] ubuntu_guest, some of those .* files may cause problems, but if they do you can just remove them [04:57] DasEi, Because for some reason, Ubuntu 11.04 runs slower so I figured I will just stick downgrade to what works correctly :) [04:57] I click the network connection icon and NO wifi signals appear [04:57] escott, thanks :) [04:57] I right click and 'enable wireless' is greyed over [04:57] There seems to be no option to enable it [04:57] That means it. might. not. work. [04:58] lorenz: iterate through the link and try to find your nic [04:58] lorenz, what type of wifi card is it? [04:58] DasEi: we've determined his wifi card [04:58] i_is_broke, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [04:59] he seems to be the only person on the planet who's atheros ar5001 (which is ages old) doesn't work out of the box. [04:59] lorenz: maybe adding ath5k to /etc/modules might work [04:59] lorenz: sudo apt-get install hwinfo && hwinfo | grep network [05:00] syrinx_: should be there by default ocne the device is detected.. i dunno.. like i said, i have that device on 1 laptop, and 2 netbooks, and they've worked flawlessly since 8.10 [05:00] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/UTXb9EqN [05:00] KM0201: got it on my netbook as well I believe, works fine here [05:00] with me it is absent performs from firefox to close or minimise. can somebody help me? [05:00] lorenz: pastebin the output of 'rfkill list', please. [05:01] rww, http://pastebin.com/3M4yDpEn [05:01] guys a quick question i register to nikserver of freenode with my email via command in XCHAT how could i change the password [05:01] well there you go [05:01] lorenz: still not clear which model hwinfo | grep WLAN [05:01] KuTi_, what kind of gui? unity or classic gnome?

I'm guessing it's blacklisted, thats as far as I can take it lol [05:03] oh, durr [05:04] lorenz: Do you have a button on your computer that toggles the wifi on and off? If so, press it. If not or if that doesn't help, 'sudo rfkill unblock 0' may help. [05:04] * rww hasn't played with rfkill much, isn't sure of the correct invocation [05:04] lorenz: unplug the eth0 and try again [05:04] Flynn, i don't know for sure. could be windows not responding to the ping, or ubuntu not knowing where the gateway for the windows ip is... which shouldn't be because they are on the same subnet... thats a question that dips a bit further into wifi knowledge than i have [05:04] google taught me that :D [05:05] k [05:05] Flynn, but if you can't ping both ways the sharing isn't going to work [05:05] escott, ubntu ultimate 2.8 gnome theme classic and run compiz-fusion...other programme none has probleme [05:05] can ebox systems be installed on a lts system to make it usable as a network appliance as well as a desktop?

[05:17] the program usually just comes straight up [05:17] lorenz : first a simple try : sudo ifup wlan0 [05:17] DasEi, is it possible to get it to work in ubuntu? [05:17] KM0201: lmao [05:17] DasEi, oh, okay [05:18] lorenz : think so, most atheros are fine [05:18] KM0201: only affects x64 [05:18] Does anyone know how to detach the taskbar from the top of the screen?

[05:19] DasEi: we already concluded that his wifi card is hard blocked [05:19] still.. not really. gtk is god here. GIMP ToolKit.. busted gimp is ubr fail. chakra's gimp works even. [05:20] multipass, you can but its completely unsupported and will break things. [05:20] bazhang: the thing is, I can't see half of my screen. So I need some terminal commands to get rid of Unity.

I can't see what I'm booting? [05:21] lorenz, lets move on [05:21] I want to edit whats on my login screen; How do I do that?

Best to just try both and form an opinion, though.

Still Ubuntu is cool [05:23] i tried that, but that doesn't actually take effect for me when I reboot [05:23] I ripped out Unity but it's still on my login screen; How do I edit that? [05:23] and that doc doesn't do a very good job of explaining why that thing should even work [05:23] and [05:23] lorenz: simply run the commands given on the link [05:23] the Network Manager docs don't explain this either [05:23] DasEi, Okay [05:24] hi i have seen on adobe`s website that it has the 10.3 version for linux. once i click deb for ubuntu >10.04 enables ubuntu-partners but the new version of flash, the 10.3 is not there . is there any reasons for that ?

[05:26] bazhang, hummm cheers... ill manually install them then .... but it gives me a message adobe-flashplugin is a virtual package or something [05:26] wtf [05:26] why does ubuntu sux0rs so bads :/ [05:26] abstrakt, watch the language [05:26] wait, for real? suck is off limits? [05:26] no [05:26] abstrakt, use gufw then [05:27] lorenz: did you finish 2,1 ? which result ? grep -r "ath5k" /etc/modprobe.d/ ? [05:27] bazhang, but I don't want gufw, what about on a server, where it's headless and I don't have X? [05:27] abstrakt, ufw then [05:27] abstrakt: ufw [05:27] i would prefer to have docs that aren't outdated :( [05:27] ahh, ok cool [05:27] ufw ♥ [05:27] i'll check'pon it === HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem [05:27] theBloom, ichoices don't appear until you choose a user; that was a gotcha for me 'till I noticed it. [05:28] so what's up with iptables-persistent is that still a viable option? [05:28] w30: what exactly did you say? [05:28] abstrakt, go to #hoover *smile* [05:28] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/Fec63HLE [05:28] i see it in synaptic, hmm description seems pretty simple [05:28] theBloom, choose user, at login window, then choose classic [05:29] how do I manually add stuff to /etc/init.d or do I? [05:29] like if i wanted to add a "firewall" service, and then have that service started on boot [05:29] do I have to modify runlevels? [05:29] i thought runlevels were basically obsolete, or that there was only one of them and all others were essentially the reboot signal [05:29] is that accurate? [05:29] lorenz: so there you got the answer, whole message would be nice , to recover stop what ? [05:30] abstrakt: not in some distros [05:30] theBloom, the choice for Unity - Classic - safe etc. show at the bottom of the login window after you click on a user name. [05:30] syrinx_, right but this is #ubuntu :) [05:30] i am trying to move one file from one haard drive to another one, and this happens mv: inter-device move failed: `opt' to `/opt'; unable to remove target: Is a directory [05:30] DasEi, That is all, there are no further lines...I can run the command again...hold on [05:30] wow this new ubuntu is gonna be difff [05:30] askhl_: touche :D [05:30] so... what about ubuntu [05:30] moving from NTFS to ext4 [05:30] !runlevels [05:30] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [05:30] DasEi, Yeah, same one-liner [05:30] is there anything i can do ? [05:31] abstrakt: no, if you enable ufw, it does it automatically at bootup, sudo ufw enable, man ufw for creating rules [05:31] froes, why would you need to move something to /opt [05:31] DasEi, ok, will ufw read iptables-save generated files? [05:31] like can I import my current ruleset that I have in /etc/iptables.rules ? [05:33] abstrakt: yes, saved over boot-time [05:33] lorenz: pastebinit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [05:33] DasEi, i'm sorry what? i don't understand, what does "saved over boot-time" mean? [05:33] i'll just go read about ufw [05:33] bazhang, "/opt" folder i use for OPTional applications installed by the user, that would not conflict with other software [05:33] os [05:33] lorenz: it's persistent, and yes, can still manually edit iptables [05:33] froes, yes, explain what you want to do [05:33] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/WF7v6S1J [05:34] bazhang, move a directory from NTFS to ext4 [05:34] bazhang, ta [05:34] froes, please give the full details.

[05:37] lorenz, please see my private message [05:37] lorenz: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [05:37] bazhang, the arduino from repo is not the same [05:37] froes, why would you need a 3rd party arduino when there is one in the repos [05:37] bazhang, it does NOT matter [05:37] lorenz: add a # in front of last line, the blacklist.. [05:38] does anybody know if unity-2d on omap4 is hardware accelerated? [05:38] froes, no idea then, sorry [05:38] someh4x0r, omap4 ?

It asked for my password and when I entered it...nothing happened. I did it a couple of times [05:39] does compiz work on omap4? [05:39] bazhang, ok but i dont understand why a moving probles as to do with arduino [05:39] someh4x0r, try in #compiz , no idea what omap4 is [05:39] lorenz: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf << should open the file you pastebin'ed [05:40] bazhang, i am rtying to move from /media/backup/music/soundtracks to ~/Music... then happens L [05:40] lorenz: gedit not installed ?

[06:45] never install Ubuntu without to know what exactly you are doing [06:45] ranjan: woah...can you telnet to it? se what the ssh server is sending? [06:45] kaynos, GrouchySmurf : when u do au wubi instal you actually dnt creat a physical partition for ubuntu . there is a file in windows which cta as a drive for ubuntu just like we use in virtual box [06:46] celthunder: actually i m new to using linux can you guide me how to do it [06:46] hehe.. nice guys..

[06:46] kaynos: read what wubi does...it sounds like crap bullshit anyway...use a vm if you want that [06:46] kaynos i told u this in the begining [06:46] kaynos: or run the livecd/usb for a while [06:46] Mjolnir: which installer brought you so far ? [06:47] kaynos: well... anyway, you learned something new: Ubuntu is false advertising [06:47] wubi is a waste of a computer [06:47] nithesh : wats the question ? [06:47] What package does aclocal belong to? [06:47] wubi = fail..

This was your interpretion. Since Democritus we know that almost all things are related to each other. [07:34] oh i was hoping my comment wouldn't be relevant :( [07:34] Mjolnir: well, if there's something wrong with your system and you have to reinstall, you can still keep everything in your /home without deleting it [07:35] I feel like I'm being trolled here. [07:35] Mjolnir: a good example is downloads, configurations for apps and stuff like that that is all kept in your /home folder [07:35] "" I did not speak about mysqld."" [07:35] ilter: i'm pretty sure you can just right click each icon individually and set the size [07:35] who did told you I like her as my smurfette? I like to talk about Linux with her xD [07:35] gaelfx NICE actually did not know that [07:35] !ot | GrouchySmurf [07:35] GrouchySmurf: #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! [07:36] ilter: right click and select resize icon [07:36] Mjolnir: however, if you do reinstall, you should make sure to mount the /home on the same partition and don't format it [07:36] is there a program or software for doing flash? like in cs3 or i think theyre up to cs5 now [07:37] will: thanks but what about all icons? [07:37] zus: synfig (to some extend) and maybe blender, but flash is bad thing anyway. [07:37] gaelfx thats where i get lost. i thought you mount partitions on /whatever. how can you then mount that to something else? [07:38] qin i thought blender didnt for swf [07:39] if i buy something on the Ubuntu software center, can I A) get a refund if it doesn't work (obviously there should be a time limit) and B) if i switch OSes can i get the bin/deb package from somewhere?

[07:48] uofm49426: also, xchat is an application that accesses irc, i think your question is "does fret of fire have an irc channel" [07:48] gartral: ask the specific app developers page . they ll have their own policies . [07:49] quick: introversion never answes questions [07:49] www.stealthtrades.com - can anyone tell me why that footer is overlapping the text? appreciated greatly. [07:49] quick: also, the game is $5 cheaper in software center [07:49] sorry well does it [07:50] uofm49426: easiest way would be find their developer page and look [07:50] !ot | JaiOptik [07:50] JaiOptik: #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! [07:51] uofm49426: doesn't look like it. [07:51] I am sharing my xp's internet connection! Why does xchat think I spelled internet wrong?

[07:52] Mjolnir: are using manual install ? [07:52] yes i am quick [07:53] honestly without a lot of knowledge to go with it quick [07:53] JaiOptik: Not sure, but put footer in bottombody or put both in extra container (god know what should css looks like) [07:53] is 2.8.8 the latest xchat? [07:54] it's ok select the drive wich u want root as select the file system which u wanna make root and select the mount point as / [07:54] zus, in ubuntu repos, yes [07:54] quick and root should be that aprtition that i want to install to right? [07:55] bazhang, does that mean its also the latest not counting bleeding edge version? [07:55] and what with the part. types... is ext4 okay? [07:55] zus, latest stable in natty [07:56] zus, if you want some more info you may try #xchat [07:56] software center won't connect too the payment service for any payed app.. it keeps throwing "peer failed to perform TLS handshake" [07:56] zus: Yes, 2.8.8 is the lastest xchat. See the /topic of #xchat. [07:56] zus, 2.8.8 is the latest stable of both ubuntu and the source the only thing more bleeding edge would be a svn/git checkout [07:57] thanks everyone [07:57] is anyone having issue with the client not auto signing your password with nic serve? [07:57] make it a physical drive . et4 willbe good and make the mount point as / [07:58] zus, here on freenode? [07:58] Mjolnir: make it a physical drive . et4 willbe good and make the mount point as / [07:58] yea [07:58] i have to manually do the /msg nicserve to be identified [07:58] zus, not here, maybe you have weird character in your password? [07:59] quick what do you mean a physical drive? i dont wanna f this up... [07:59] zus, put username:pw in server field to auto-identify [07:59] nope because when i manually do it its fine, but when i put it in the password field it doesnt work [07:59] bazhang, thats where i mean i dont like it - [08:00] zus, then follow what I said. it works fine. [08:00] zus, perhaps you put it in the wrong pw field, theres one for the network and one for nickserv [08:00] hello everybody~ [08:00] i know, i tried both, and i tried with both fields filled out [08:01] zus, your probbally best trying what bazhang said and failing that asking in #xchat [08:01] nothing [08:01] Mjolnir: nothing [08:02] yeah ill go to xchat thanks again everyone === Guest98384 is now known as quannum === quannum is now known as qnm [08:03] i mounted my ext3 partition on /home any solutions to access the drive ?? === qnm is now known as Guest82730 [08:03] Mjolnir: are u done with install ? [08:03] I was having issues with my SATA ports, so I decided to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB flash drive, and I put my HDD in a USB3.0 dock, and everything works pretty hunky dory, except that apparently I can't use SMART status on an HDD connected via USB. Is this an issue with SMART or is there another way that I can check it? === Guest82730 is now known as quannum [08:04] OK I may have scr... messed up. I created a network specifically so I could share my Internet connection and now Ubuntu (10.10) doesn't "see" my windows networks. [08:04] quick i think i did something wrong? ubi-partman failed with exit code 10, and then exit code 141 when i retried [08:04] gaelfx, its probbally the dock I have to ask "Does it work in windows" [08:05] pfifo: I've not used it in windows [08:05] gaelfx, afaik scsi emulation supports smart, so it should work === quannum is now known as qnm === coz_ is now known as koz_ [08:06] /part/ [08:07] why is firefox so slow in ubuntu?

[08:09] BeerBaron Firefox is always slow. http//www.opera.com [08:09] hello [08:09] BeerBaron, Mozilla has admitted it and it's a major focus for either ff5 or ff6 [08:09] Hello [08:09] Mjolnir: there was a bug as given here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1679285 . give it a try once again . [08:09] BeerBaron, http://glandium.org/blog/?p=1975 [08:09] where is firefox video cache in ubuntu-11.04 ? in older version in find this in /tmp ! [08:10] where is firefox video cache in ubuntu-11.04 ? in older version i find this in /tmp ! [08:10] Question - how come when ubuntu is first installed if you type a hostname like: server.dev.local .. it will only recognize the server part and ignore the rest ... also it does not permit a user login like firstname.lastname [08:10] mearaji, we heard you the first time. [08:10] mearaji, why do you need it [08:10] OK I may have scr... messed up. I created a network specifically so I could share my Internet connection and now Ubuntu (10.10) doesn't "see" my windows networks. [08:11] is opera faster than chrome? [08:11] Hmm [08:11] Firefox under windows is definitely not slow [08:11] mithram, prob. [08:11] I mean it takes like 10 seconds for some pages to even load [08:11] they load slow, that's the problem [08:11] Flynn, Can you give some more info [08:11] software center ate my game :_; [08:12] BeerBaron, there are a few tricks you can do to speed up FF, about:config has some settings [08:12] bazhang I need download video on this site : "http://ontwik.com/tools/vim-from-novice-to-professional-by-derek-wyatt-p1/" [08:12] where can i go for support for software center?

[08:13] People are telling me that "mysqld_safe and mysqld should be running on your system" Why does Ubuntu Lucid not start mysqld_safe? [08:13] pfifo, such as? [08:13] bazhang Or any videos for other sites ... [08:14] doesn't matter if opera/chroma is 10% faster when FF has treestyle tabs and adblock. My problem is that pages take forever to load. [08:14] Flynn, what did you do to your system? are you following a guide? what is your topography? [08:14] BeerBaron: i'm pretty sure it's compiled using gcc instead of the intel compiler which MAY have a slight detrimental effect in performance [08:14] though it's likely some other problem [08:14] mearaji, those wont load for me. there is a fx video download helper if you can get them to load [08:15] will: No I don't think it's related to compilation. Navigating the oages in itself is not particularly slow, but the loading is. [08:15] Mjolnir: try it once again . [08:15] It might be some difference in configuration [08:15] or networking [08:16] bazhang this videos cache in /tmp on your system ? [08:16] mearaji, it does not load at all, so no [08:16] Flynn: i think chrome seems to be doing better in the tests [08:16] Question - how come when ubuntu is first installed if you type a hostname like: server.dev.local .. it member:will only recognize the server part and ignore the rest ... also it does not permit a user login like firstname.lastname [08:16] pfifo, I don't remember ever clicking on places-networks-windows networks and not seeing anything so, I don't really remember how they got there but, now they're gone! I wasn't following a guide i just made a new network and now I don't see any. [08:18] this isn't cool. ubuntu software center isn't letting my purchased game install [08:18] mithran, then get chrome. The tests I saw said Opera was best. But, you specifically asked about firefox v. chrome. [08:18] gartral: at last u purchased it :) [08:18] Flynn, windows 'networks' (workgroups) are only available to the local subnet to machines with the same workgroup name. So either #1 you changed your workgroup name OR #2 you are not on the same subnet [08:18] and i keep getting an ssl timeout when i try too install via apt-get [08:19] pfifo, Hmm. how do I change my workgroup name? [08:19] Flynn, I dont know [08:20] * vibhav ready to help others! [08:20] quick: well i'm going too want a freaking refund if it continues too fail drastically like this [08:20] gartral it happened to me once [08:20] Well, I guess I'll google that. [08:20] * vibhav is ready to help others! [08:20] lolzer: what did you do too fix it [08:20] vibhav, please dont do that [08:20] what is the problem [08:20] oh hi bazhang! [08:20] i was on about chrome vs opera.. [08:21] what is the problem [08:21] vibhav: i bought darwinia off of Software Center and it won't install.. also apt-get is giving an ssl timeour [08:21] i have chrome, was wondering if it was worth trying operra [08:21] timeout [08:21] ! tab | vibhav [08:21] vibhav: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:21] my ubuntu 11.04 is very often crash. i don't know why. :(. [08:22] gartral, do you a proxy? [08:22] vibhav: no [08:22] mithran: It's free to try opera.. so why not just try it? [08:22] I hate your crashing Ubuntu :@ [08:22] gartral can you post me a screenshot? [08:22] GrouchySmurf: Which version of ubuntu? [08:23] I hate screenshots :@ [08:23] thien: What do you mean by crash? [08:23] vibhav: i'd rather not, not of apt-get anyway, and there's no error, it just acts like it's installing, then doesn't [08:23] gartral can you tell me the error in pastebin?? [08:24] gartral can you tell me the error in pastebin?? [08:24] vibhav: the specific error that apt-get is giving me says "failed to fetc SSL timeout at 118842 [08:25] i couldnt get a way around it... was a year back [08:25] soreau: monitor becomes like thís http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5980/dsc00299j.jpg but there is still sound [08:25] soreau, i just installed chrome, so i think ill try it for a bit more :) [08:25] pdtpatrick_, its probbally putting server as the hostname and .dev.local as the domain name, and you can not use uppercase in the username so User.Name would fail but user.name SHOULD work [08:25] try a reboot [08:25] thien: Which graphics driver? [08:26] pfifo, ok thAT WORKGROUP THING DIDN'T WORK. wHAT'S A subnet? [08:26] Flynn, a rather complicated concept http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork [08:27] soreau: 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [08:28] People are telling me that "mysqld_safe and mysqld should be running on your system" Why does Ubuntu Lucid not start mysqld_safe automatically? [08:28] thien: Do you have any evidence of a problem in /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old) after restarting? [08:28] I'm trying to do all my updates so that I can upgrade to Natty Narwhal. [08:28] But the update manager gives an error every time I click "Check for updates" [08:29] then? [08:29] aurilliance: stick with maverick.. have you tried a natty live session yet? [08:29] It says "Failed to download repository information" Check your internet connection [08:29] aurilliance: What error message do you obtain? [08:29] soreau, I have, and I loved it [08:29] aurilliance: Can you ping google.com or 8.8.8.8? [08:29] soreau, sure can [08:30] I'm chatting here. Looks like it's an issue with my ogre-dev ppa - I'll remove it and retry. [08:30] friend trying to fix his ubuntu. dhcpcd is giving him an already-in-use IP [08:30] aurilliance: You probably have a wrong or questionalble entry in your repository list file.

[08:30] things to google ubuntu-specific or anything/ [08:30] iAmerikan, posibly a duplicate MAC address issue?

[08:31] ph [08:31] oh [08:31] what is the problem? [08:32] How can i print the values of various processor registers? [08:32] pfifo, should I require ipv4 adressing? [08:32] Ok - I removed that PPA and now it's not giving any errors, but it doesn't show the ubuntu 11 update [08:32] vibhav: he can't get leased a new IP w/o using a static IP [08:32] mwnn, gdb would probbally allow you todo that [08:33] pfifo: To be specific, I wanted to display the values of the control registers in x86 architecture [08:33] pfifo: eg: cr0, cr1, etc. [08:33] finally solved a problem as to why ubuntu doesn't always shutdown on my netbooks and feel so stupid ... at some point in the past i decided to mount /var/run as a ramdisk along with /tmp and /var/tmp ... turns out it would sometimes umount /var/run before other shutdown scripts that needed it ... duh [08:33] soreau: what do i have to do? [08:34] thien: Try to find some information in the log files and file a bug report [08:34] thien: You could also try asking in #intel-gfx [08:34] mwnn, it could be problematic as printing those registers would require the processor to change them to run the print command, im guessing gdb can do it, if not perhaps qemu or vbox can do something [08:34] soreau: thanks [08:35] pfifo: ok [08:36] ale o co chodzi?

[08:43] no_face, checked the rsync manual yet? [08:44] no sir, can only assume it is huge [08:44] Flynn, pastebin ifconfig on all your linux/mac machines, and pastebin ipconfig on all your windows machines [08:45] bullgard4: That it is habit to at least skim configuratio of service before running it... [08:45] hey all, how can set my ubuntu 11.04 to classic mode ?

I have the pcap files [09:02] <_Anomaly> iAmerikan: yeah? [09:02] hello guys.. i'm about to do a dist-upgrade on a minimal install ubuntu... any drawbacks if a do dist-upgrade with no-install-recommends on it to keep the installation at a minimum? [09:02] <_Anomaly> dhcp SUCKS [09:03] How do open and browse my camera? When I right click it it says something like "Dbus error".. [09:03] hi === louhusson_ is now known as louhusson [09:04] <_Anomaly> angheloko: are you running on very low system resources? [09:04] MethedMan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/607326/ [09:04] <_Anomaly> serj: Hi [09:04] dual core, 4GB ram, 80 GB HD [09:05] <_Anomaly> why not just do a full install then? [09:05] compaq presario @_Anomaly [09:05] <_Anomaly> 11.04 with updates on [09:05] i initially used the minimal install.. and.. tbh, i just use that machine as a home server [09:05] i have ftp,ssh, sftp, nf, apache, mysql on it [09:06] _Anomaly: Did you post about your IP stuff? [09:06] just for experimentation and to act as a home server.. [09:06] I want to be able to minimize a window by clicking its icon on the launcher. Is this possible? [09:06] magn3ts: thanks. taking a look at it right now [09:07] <_Anomaly> iAmerikan: no I didn't [09:07] <_Anomaly> angheloko: experiment with 11.04 just as it is. You have WAY more than enough system resources to take care of it [09:07] Nvm. [09:08] Uhg, the equalizer wont download from the regular packet manager. Is there a site I can direct download? I have tethered my phone for internet and it picks and choses what it wants to loads. [09:08] * _Anomaly has a problem getting either eth0 or wlan0 on the netwerk [09:08] <_Anomaly> :-/ [09:08] @_Anomaly what would u suggest? i want it to be as minimal as possible - build ground-up or up-down? [09:08] magn3ts: that is what i am looking for but the linked folder still retains a copy of the file [09:08] MethedMan, no it doesn't [09:08] rm specialdir and there's nothing there. [09:08] Or maybe someone send it to me? [09:09] MethedMan, it looks like it is because it's "symlink"ed [09:09] <_Anomaly> angheloko: your resources are vast and there's no reason to go minimal [09:09] I'd be super greatly, awfully super happy and greatful [09:09] Herp derp, VLC won't full screen without shutting down computer after latest Nvidia update. Ideas? [09:09] MethedMan, in that case, that file would phsyically exist as 1/0s only on my external hard drive mounted at /media/temp [09:09] <_Anomaly> if you already have Ubuntu on the system why even upgrade if your looking for minimal? [09:09] One issue when i change resolution using this http://pastebin.com/ruCMteMT i get this http://lulzimg.com/i21/cc8167.png, doesnt happen on Classic Mode [09:09] MethedMan, just like my /home/cole is on one hard drive, but it looks like it's on my main HD still. [09:09] no_face:Thanks! [09:10] well different reason, but similar effect. [09:10] magn3ts: can i access the files from both directories? [09:10] no problem VP enjoy... also try GIMP and Scribus [09:10] MethedMan, yes. [09:10] no_face, can you have a look at my issue [09:10] magn3ts: nice. thanks so much [09:10] MethedMan, fo sho. [09:11] A_J I am a noob [09:11] <_Anomaly> no_face: for sum 1 without a face yer pretty popular :) [09:11] :( [09:11] A_J, does clicking and dragging to select the whole desktop fix it? [09:11] @_Anomaly.. hmm.. true.. before i got my new laptop i was running full 10.04 on it.. but in any case, i just tried running dist-upgrade --no-install-recommends and i didn't get any packages.. so i guess it wont work [09:11] no magn3ts [09:11] I have lots of screen redraw problems in weird places including resizes. [09:11] A_J, is it frozen at that point? Does opening/closing the Unity drawer not help? [09:12] anything in that black area in unclickable [09:12] magn3ts, nop.. can it be cause i don't have a GFX card ? [09:12] i am currently running this command; rsync -aS /home /media/Storage/home once this is complete i need to edit my fstab to mount my sdb as /home right?! [09:12] <_Anomaly> angheloko: I think it is funny.... you are trying to install new items but then tell it NOT to install anything [09:12] A_J, not sure; [09:12] sudo service lame chat stop [09:13] magn3ts, it works fine on classic mode, but not in the new 11.04 one [09:13] * _Anomaly kicks mykal..... sudo that [09:13] @_Anomaly i thought if i run that it will just update/upgrade packages that are already installed and it won't install any extra package :? [09:14] <_Anomaly> angheloko: try just running the update and make it tell you what it suggests then delete anything or uncheck anything you don't want [09:14] @_Anomaly i [09:14] how do I run a .sh file? [09:15] plustax: bash file.sh [09:15] HELP! i am currently running this command; rsync -aS /home /media/Storage/home once this is complete i need to edit my fstab to mount my sdb as /home right?! [09:15] run *.sh run [09:15] <_Anomaly> running minimal packages is usually for when you have a old puter with limited resources.... you have WAY more resources then you'd ever use [09:15] @_Anomaly ok thanks.. i'm just ran do-release-upgrade.. i'll build it from top-down if anything gets intalled that i don't want [09:15] I dont know the folder path qin it's in a zip file that I just downloaded. [09:15] !graphics [09:16] any1 can link to recommended gfx cards for linux === dfgas-360 is now known as dfgas [09:16] A_J any Nvidia card [09:16] <_Anomaly> angheloko: thats your best option. Like I said. You have a puter that will handle anything you give it right now [09:16] no_face, Not ATI ? [09:17] plustax: I guess you need to unzip it, chmod (make executable), and run it [09:17] qin when i click it the open with screen comes up [09:17] what can I type in there [09:17] A_J, check private chat [09:17] okie no_face [09:18] <_Anomaly> anyone like werking with netwerking problems? [09:18] _Anomaly, ask the question please [09:18] _Anomaly: in huge channels like this, I suggest asking [09:18] someone will help out [09:18] #shdhsg [09:19] qin I ran the command now it says waiting for device [09:19] <_Anomaly> bazhang: iAmerikan: ok thanx [09:19] plustax: Gimmme linky to that zip, please. [09:20] <_Anomaly> I can get a connection on both eth0 and wlan0 but I can't get on the net either way and eth0 causes a ip conflict with another machine I'm running [09:20] o_o plustax [09:21] @_Anomaly u have wicd installed or some other network manager? [09:21] angheloko: he has default gnome network manager iirc [09:22] has anyone installed gnome-3 on ubuntu 11.04 yet? [09:22] * _Anomaly has a pretty phunnie setup.... I get the net with a WiFi connect from another machine. It is a WiFi card in the machine with a external antenna [09:22] <_Anomaly> then I have a nic that sends the signal to a hub and to other puters [09:23] <_Anomaly> they are werking fine [09:23] <_Anomaly> so I know I can get on the net without troubles since the other puters are werking [09:23] <_Anomaly> I had SuSE up and running on the same box I put Ubuntu on [09:23] <_Anomaly> so I know the connections can werk [09:24] hi [09:25] @_Anomaly, firewall issue perhaps? [09:25] <_Anomaly> angheloko: Netwerk Connections .... the basic Ubuntu netwerk manager [09:25] <_Anomaly> nope not a firewall issue. like I said... other puters are werking fine with the set up [09:26] <_Anomaly> this says I have a connection [09:26] hello, im trying to create a new partition on fresh 2TB drive, but im getting the error message "You must set cylinders.". [09:26] <_Anomaly> either with wlan0 or eth0 [09:26] when using fdisk [09:26] OK so if I add 192.168.2.100 machinename in host file in ubuntu and of course I can now ping it (but how can I set the ubuntu to ping them directly without having to add it to the host file)? [09:27] Renski, change to dos partition type and create a new dos partition table [09:27] <_Anomaly> Crash1hd: are you trying to crash one hard drive? [09:27] <_Anomaly> lol [09:27] @Crash1hd u need it in ur host file if u want to ping the machine by name fwik [09:28] pfifo: same error message [09:28] angheloko, hmm there must be a way to do it nativly my other ubuntu install does it without needing that === erebus is now known as Goliath [09:31] Renski, can you get into fdisk, or is it giving this error on startup? === thichlinux is now known as Guest21847 [09:32] pfifo: when I do a n or o, and when it start up (running it with fdisk sdb2) [09:32] I want to split a 200 MB file into 10 .tar archives and I don't want to do this by "split" command. Is there any capacity in "tar" command for splitting archives? [09:32] Renski, start fdisk like this `fdisk /dev/sdb` [09:32] <_Anomaly> :-/ === Guest21847 is now known as thichlinux [09:33] im compiling my custom kernel , but after i do make-kpkg clean, doesnt all settings disappear ? cause when i do make menuconfig after make-kpkg clean the settings is gone [09:33] <_Anomaly> is there a way to tell Ubuntu that a certain IP is already taken and to choose another? [09:33] * _Anomaly says DHCP sucks [09:34] @_Anomaly u have a strange setup... why do u want a static ip.. the easiest i can think of to reserve an ip is to configure ur router [09:34] _Anomaly, static IPv4 addressing [09:35] * _Anomaly is getting the net from a wireless netwerk elsewhere [09:35] hey u-friends! is there a way to keep selecting until you tap on the trackpad (or click) again? à-la mac style that is [09:36] Hmmm? You mean, pressing tab to go between menus and buttons? [09:36] how do i make a symlink to a hard drive on another computer on my network? [09:36] <_Anomaly> pfifo: I tried static and got a connection but still couldn't ping google [09:36] _Anomaly, sounds like you forgot gateway/DNS info [09:36] tiox, you talking to me? =) [09:37] Yep. [09:37] mthedman : mount it with nfs then just mount it where you want it [09:37] MethedMan: sshfs (and link to directory where you mount is) [09:37] oh, ok.. no it has nothing to do with keyboard [09:37] * meant to come out as nfs [09:37] <_Anomaly> pfifo: nope I know not to miss anything and I checked and rechecked all ip #'s [09:37] i mean... can you keep selectin (text i.e.) until you click or tap again? [09:37] Curious -- why did ubuntu go with unity instead of gnome 3? [09:37] qin use nfs no need for sshfs on local network = slow [09:37] Might as well ask a question: I am looking to reboot Ubuntu into a "Test mode" of sorts, where I can boot with everything I have already installed, but make the session non-permanent. [09:37] qin: awesome thanks. what about rsync? someone was talking about that earlier. [09:38] <_Anomaly> pfifo: I have had SuSE running on the same netwerk and other machines plugged into my system [09:38] mehed man use nfs [09:38] I think Unity is a lot better. [09:38] @MethedMan rsync would be a good options for backing up [09:38] on local network much better [09:38] Unity uses compiz as it's backend [09:38] Is there a way I can boot into Ubuntu so that no future changes are saved on the system? [09:38] pfifo: cheated and used Disk Utility program in the end [09:38] But that's just my opinion. I have always been a KDE fan and it's nice they got away from GNOME. [09:38] no_face: Also, you can disable the Unity plugin to disable Unity altogether. [09:39] thr: You right. [09:39] tiox, i removed unity by reinstalling 10.4 [09:39] maco, r u there [09:39] lawl [09:39] abhijeet_, r u there [09:39] MethedMan: Me no rsync [09:39] Where are the settings for gdm stored (e.g. the login background)? [09:39] That would not fix my problem with Avant WIndow Navigator, I think... [09:39] _Anomaly, what exactly is the problem? DHCP is giving you an address that is in use? Theres only 3 things that could cause that, Duplicate MAC addresses, DHCP Leases being too short and Someone assigning a Static IP that is in the DHCP lease range [09:39] tiox, anychance you know mike silkworm [09:39] no_face: Nope. [09:40] plop all [09:40] can anyone tell me the best mp3 media player for ubuntu 11.04 [09:40] tiox, he says lawl [09:40] portablejim: /usr/share/gdm [09:40] * angheloko is waiting for my home server to finish upgrading to natty [09:40] prashant__: mocp [09:40] was a wild guess [09:40] Renski, gparted is usually my solution to unusal behaviour in fdisk [09:40] banshee! [09:40] <_Anomaly> pfifo: good list of questions.... I can't figure it out either and I am a netwerk speciallist with WinBlows [09:40] qin, it support playlists [09:40] Put the control center or appearances dialog in /autostart/LoginWindow, log off, make changes, log back in. [09:40] <_Anomaly> angheloko: good for you buddy === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [09:41] qin: how would i make a symlink with sshfs [09:41] @_Anomaly, thanks.. now at 76%... afraid i can't help u much cos u have quite a unique situation there [09:41] qin, no software found at ubuntu software center [09:42] <_Anomaly> pfifo: I will eventually finger this out..... I was just seeing if it was a simple mistake that I was making [09:42] is there any ssh shell where i can type like i am typing now as a remote connection to the server. most shells when sshed are difficult to type and idle out if kept inactive and some are ridiculous [09:42] <_Anomaly> of course I don't have the usual set up as most do [09:42] also suggest some on windows [09:42] Additionally, portablejim, you can have CompizConfig Settings Manager show up at login, configure some keyboard shortcuts via the Commands plugin and and have keystrokes to open programs at the login screen. Useful for Firefox, where if someone asks "Can I barrow your PC?", you just switch user, load Firefox and they're using it right at the login screen, no need for a secondary "Guest" account. [09:43] _Anomaly, a static address should work, if its not working then theres something more than a duplicate IP involved [09:43] <_Anomaly> angheloko: thanx buddy. Yeah I like my setup. I pay for nuttin and no one can figure out how I did it [09:43] <_Anomaly> lol [09:43] user1: check ClientAliveInterval on sshd [09:43] tiox, how about the actual settings (not where I can put a launcher for a program to change the settings) [09:43] <_Anomaly> pfifo: ok thank you. I can't finger this out atm but I will [09:43] portablejim: Not entirely sure. /var/lib has some settings, maybe. [09:44] But I think /usr/share/gdm is where most setings for login are stored. [09:44] _Anomaly, and at that, a dup IP will work intermittently [09:45] <_Anomaly> pfifo: very true [09:45] <_Anomaly> I already looked at the MACs and they aren't even close to each other [09:45] Oh, for the noobs, +H shows hidden files. [09:45] Hello, I would like to know how to remove the username within the terminal. Any help is appreciated. [09:45] !noob | xylonik [09:45] xylonik: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [09:45] <_Anomaly> and I have looked to see if MAC spoofing is causing an error and it wasn't close [09:45] xylonik: change PS1 in your ~/.bashrc [09:46] pfifo: try again with correct nick :) [09:46] Wow, pfifo, you're a klut. :P [09:46] klutzz* [09:47] Grrr, my keyboard sucks. [09:47] haha, darn scrolling [09:47] hey [09:47] <_Anomaly> lol [09:47] xylonik: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/bash-prompt-escape-sequences.html [09:47] i have sony vaio vpcf136fx b computer [09:47] when i am in the dark place my keyboard is lightened [09:48] is it possible to use this feature in ubuntu [09:48] * pfifo changes font size to 16 [09:48] Thank you llutz, very much appreciated brother. [09:49] <_Anomaly> pfifo: Thank you for your help [09:49] _Anomaly, good luck [09:49] <_Anomaly> hehehe I always need it [09:49] Are there some good automount tool to auto mount windows disk at startup ? [09:50] Evanescence, yeah, /etc/fstab [09:50] some comments in fstab are saying I should use UUIDs to identify my paritions instead of its file, how did I Get the uuid? [09:50] Renski, `blkid` [09:50] /dev/disk/by-uuid [09:50] Renski: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [09:51] pfifo: by the way, what is that , ubuntu auto mount widnows disk when you click it in Gnome . [09:52] Evanescence, /etc/fstab is the configuration file that tells `mountall` what to mount, if you want something mounted at boot time, thats the place todo it [09:52] see if ubottu has anything to say [09:52] !fstab [09:52] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:52] @Evanescence nautilus' volume manager does that for u.. but like pfifo said, edit fstab for mount at startup [09:53] angheloko: pfifo thanks [09:53] I have two monitors, how can I move the unity dock to the left one? [09:53] Evanescence, no problem [09:53] angheloko: so that nautilus volume manager will finish all setting for mount ? [09:54] <_Anomaly> wb no face [09:55] thank you, the rsync worked well [09:55] <_Anomaly> looks like it [09:55] Peddy: Don't know. Fellow oracles, is there a gconf hack he can use to change where Unity appears on his monitor setup? [09:55] I had a perfectly fine working Ubuntu 10.10 install. I did the online upgraded to 11.04, and ran into problems. My mouse would not work, my video would only allow setting to 640x480, and other stupid stuff. In the end, I decided to re-install 10.10. During the install my wireless was detected, and in fact even used, but after first boot, it no longer works at all, and I don't even see the Enable Wireless on network mangler [09:55] i made a few mistakes like moving the whole folder of home to a folder called home, but spotted that before i rebooted =) [09:55] @Evanescence if u click on any of your win drives, yes, it'll mount it for you. but if you don't click it, it will still show at in your list of available drives [09:56] tiox, in older gnome I could simply drag gnome-panel to another window :/ but I can't now. [09:56] some settings were not copied over, but that was due to my lack of understanding [09:56] pupuser9a5750: For the mouse issue, I'm getting weirdness too. Sometimes I get "Dead zones" where the mouse fails to register clicking, and one time, I got this odd thing with a wireless mouse where just plugging it back in fixed the problem. [09:56] but it's a clean install so no worries there [09:56] <_Anomaly> oh..... here's an easy question for anyone...... where can I find Unity on my desktop? I hadn't played with it long enough to find that item yet [09:57] angheloko: I want to know what are those setting in nautilus volume manager and apply setting in fstab [09:57] pupuser9a5750, Ive heard over 9000 good comments about wicd for wireless, perhaps you should `sudo apt-get install wicd && sudo apt-get purge network-manager` [09:57] Peddy: Give up, then, until someone figures out how to hack Unity, because I had no success moving stuff around either. [09:57] I don't have any network without wireless [09:57] _anomaly http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/ [09:57] Best bet: Log off, change session to Ubuntu Classic, log back in and enjoy your toolbars. [09:57] Want a dock? Use Docky. [09:57] <_Anomaly> no_face: thanx buddy [09:58] pupuser9a5750, deb files to a usb stick then [09:58] <_Anomaly> pfifo: think I should also install wicd? [09:58] pupuser9a5750, or chroot from the livecd [09:58] _Anomaly, compiz is Unity [09:58] does anyone like unity? [09:58] NO! [09:58] lf [09:58] lol'd^ [09:58] Renski: Sure! Lots of people do. [09:58] _Anomaly, no in your case i would uninstall both and configure by hand [09:58] What's really frustrating is that Puppy Linux 4.3.1 detects and uses my wireless fine. In fact that's what I'm using now. [09:58] <_Anomaly> no_face: just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and hadn't seen Unity yet [09:59] Unfortunately, you'll meet none of them here. [09:59] have they formed a cult and gone into hiding? [09:59] renski: I do! I like how it disappears, and focus is on one window. Uses alot of my big screen. [09:59] Renski, Unity ,, in all ubuntu related channels,, has the been topic of many disatisfied users [09:59] _Anomaly, make backup install 10.4 lol [09:59] but my GF doesn't like Puppy, she wants Ubuntu [09:59] tiox, it's sad that someone has to 'hack' open source software. [09:59] _Anomaly: I think you're using it iirc [09:59] phox_: That's the purpose of Unity, to take up as much screen as possible. I myself dislike it. [09:59] <_Anomaly> pfifo: I configured by hand earlier today..... lol she was really cute too [09:59] @Evanescence Nautilus will not edit the fstab for you.. it will only temporarily mount the drive for you for ur current session [10:00] It's a god damn tablet interface! Canonical did bad IMO. [10:00] * no_face agrees with tiox [10:00] I was thinking it might be good for my notebook [10:00] * pfifo is using gnome3 after a debootstrap install, unity can bite me [10:01] * Peddy feels kinda bad for liking Unity [10:01] Aside from that burts of anger, I am doing fine with Mint Menu from webupd8.org. DockbarX and the classic configuration of gnome-panel. [10:01] @Evanescence here's a nice link from psychocats - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab [10:01] burst* [10:01] burts is better imo [10:01] angheloko: thanks so much [10:03] is it possible to remove the panel on one of my monitors, if I have two? [10:03] tiox, yes classic gnome is essentially fine ,, but that will not be avaiable in future releases,, as far as I am aware [10:03] Peddy, unity or classic gnome? [10:03] If the developer of Avant WIndow Navigator and his peers get their heads out of Mark's anus and get back to work on making a compatible set of packages for Avant WIndow Navigator trunk, I'd be a happy man. [10:04] coz_, someone will make a gnome2 ppa [10:04] coz_, unity [10:04] Peddy, probably not then,, the extra panel on the secondary monitor is one answer to dual monitor support for global menu,, as far as I can tell [10:04] I once brought up in off-topic, maube the classic Gnome can be a compiz plugin too. [10:05] I need to put an ISO onto a CD I have. Is there a built in cd burner? 11.04. [10:05] Sure, it'd be some sort of kludgy hack, but at least it's an easy on/off solution for people to look into. [10:05] coz_, oh, I hadn't thought of that, you're right. thanks [10:05] AFK, writting my blog on how to move home folder, bye peeps [10:05] @mang0 u can try brasero [10:05] tiox, thats doubtful,, if compiz attemtps that then it would just as easy to make compiz DE instead [10:05] angheloko: I need to be able to boot the Cd... [10:05] Who said it had to be the Compiz team>? [10:05] so can brasero do that?# [10:06] mand0, yes [10:06] tiox, gnome is a DE ,, much more complex than a plugin [10:06] @mang0 alternatively try wodim [10:06] <_Anomaly> Thanx for the fun [10:06] <_Anomaly> nite all [10:06] No no, I know that. But I was talking about the interface. Toolbars and plugins. [10:06] I think brasero is gonna be okay [10:06] angheloko: ^ [10:07] That's it, nothing more needs to be implemented IMO. But then again my head must be up my butt. [10:07] Sippin' on too much fo my asbestos-laden kool-aid. [10:07] Which key allows me to scroll down to the current line within the terminal? [10:07] Page down, maybe? [10:08] * tiox never tried that [10:08] zymbium: Shift-PgDw [10:08] Oh, cool. I learn something new every day. [10:08] lol, what a waste. 700mb CD for a 7.8mb iso file. [10:08] brb [10:09] zymbium: It do not work in byobu, screen, tmux, etc [10:09] Also, how do I shift the current line to the top of the terminal? [10:09] zymbium: Ctrl-l [10:09] What's the importance of byobu anyway? [10:10] Thank you qin [10:10] So, after searching the InterTubes, I am very frustrated with Ubuntu's wireless support. It seems far more difficult than it should be [10:10] I don't get it, personally. There shouldn't be xterm, gnome-terminal and byobu-terminal all in the same OS. [10:10] has anyone noticed strange issues with grub, grub-update, grub.cfg recenty? [10:10] Cna you revers the fill direction of a terminal? [10:10] I mean, it detected at install time FFS [10:11] tiox: I have 10 differeny emulators (just for heck of it). === dylan is now known as Guest46403 [10:11] Any suggestions ? [10:11] dylan [10:11] qin: Go away. [10:11] i am from china [10:11] pupuser9a5750: what exactly is the problem? i don't understand [10:11] pupuser9a5750, install the correct driver [10:12] Wireless is not being enabled - even though it was detected and used during install [10:12] great [10:12] great lubuntu [10:12] Yes there are strange issues with grub on wubi, I had to partition Ubuntu with new install because of those reboot issues. [10:12] And no option on NetworkMangler to enable it. [10:12] pupuser9a5750: pfifo is probably right. probably a driver that did not get installed. do you know what kind of wireless hardware is in your system? [10:13] pupuser9a5750: have you run the Install Proprietary Drivers tool yet? [10:13] No - I can do a LSPCI though, right ? [10:13] oihgawhvt [10:13] uwoa h; [10:13] se tgeay nz [10:13] * angheloko finished upgrading to 11.04. Now off to see if everything's still fine. [10:13] spam [10:13] guest__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:13] pupuser9a5750: have you tried running system > administration > additional drivers? [10:13] wg MZ|ja [10:13] [10:14] angheloko: before you go [10:14] great... just a blinking cursor after restarting [10:14] angheloko: Oh, the horror... [10:14] No, what's that for ? [10:14] what's worse is its orange [10:14] Erm, puppy, dude... it's to help you install non-free drivers on your system. [10:14] angheloko: how long does it sit blinking for? [10:14] Yeah, but does it require network access to do so ? [10:14] pupuser9a5750: that checks to see if your hardware (wireless or otherwise) has all of the needed drivers installed [10:15] Yep. So plug in an ethernet cable. [10:15] @dcg almost 2 now.. ima restart this thing [10:15] Use a hard line. [10:15] Don't have one [10:15] believe it or not [10:15] O_O [10:15] I've noticed when downloading something in FF or Chromium that even if the actual download rate is 0kb/s, it still displays the download rate it had right before it stopped downloading, why is that? [10:15] hi everybody,give me a kvm irc please [10:15] pupuser9a5750: yes it will need network access to install things with, but I think it will tell you if something is needed without network [10:15] or occasionally, it seems to do a countdown to 0 rather than telling me directly that it's (obviously) not downloading at all [10:15] mkdir: Google is your friend3. Use it. [10:15] pupuser9a5750: yeah, you need to get one and run that tool. then check back if it's still not working [10:15] asdftypo [10:16] OK, I'll give that a try. [10:16] Strange though that it gets used during install with no trouble [10:16] Very odd. [10:16] angheloko: what do you get before the flashing cursor.....do you see a grub screen, or is the flashing cursor in place of the grub screen? [10:16] pupuser9a5750: that is odd, but it's still my best guess for you. one way or another, I bet the right driver is not loading [10:16] Okies, I'm snoozing before the sun shines. Good night everybody! [10:16] OK, I'm off for a reboot into Ubuntu. I'll be back [10:17] Thanks [10:18] @dcg... i was busy reading in the IRC so i didn't noticed.. when i turned to look.. its just a blinking cursor.. i did a restart and now it's just a blinking cursor again.. ok ima restart again and focus on the screen and see if that helps :)) [10:18] how to increase the screen lock period? [10:19] magepsycho: in gnome? [10:19] yup [10:19] 10.10 version [10:19] magepsycho: system > preferences > screensaver [10:20] angheloko: how did the monitored reboot go? [10:20] @dcg.. still the blinking cursor but now with a purple bg [10:20] thanks dcg [10:20] magepsycho: you're welcome [10:20] i hit alt+f1 to get a terminal [10:21] and ran startx from there [10:21] how to switch user [10:21] looks ok.. so far [10:21] angheloko: sounds like xorg is not auto configing for some reason [10:21] i don't want to use sudo evertime using terminal command [10:21] I found the settings for the background. They are in /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults. [10:21] i want to switch to root user [10:21] that reminds me, to get into console with alt+F1, how do you bring it back to the desktop GUI? [10:21] magepsycho: there is no root user per-se on Ubuntu [10:22] @dcg.. i upgraded from a minimal install.. i don't have any login manager.. i have fluxbox though but it's not set to autostart [10:22] so i guess that explains [10:22] magepsycho: you should stick to using sudo, there should only be a very few commands you need to run as root. it should NEVER be used for normal use [10:22] magepsycho, in terminal sudo -i [10:22] su .. command is for what [10:22] DirtyDawg: hit alt-F7 [10:22] magepsycho: (it is there, of course, but not setup for normal shell access like on other systems) [10:22] ahh k thx dcg :) [10:23] oh [10:23] so i can't login as root ? [10:23] dupadupadupa [10:23] hi, i have a problem. if i open mousepad and close it after it takes more time to close a program then normal. what could be the solution for it? [10:23] @megapsycho.. no u cant.. root is disabled.. u can assume the role of root though for a session [10:23] magepsycho: no, but if you type "sudo -l" in a terminal it will give you a login shell for root (of sorts) [10:23] coz_: it is not a good idea to encourage new users to use root like that, sudo is far safer [10:24] magepsycho: From "man su": su - change user ID or... [10:25] magepsycho: i strongly recommend the sudo command when you MUST run a superuser command. there are MANY good reasons why Ubuntu is setup this way [10:25] natty doesn't seem to like fluxbox... im getting some weird behavior [10:25] FCGreg .. when i type sudo -l then it gave the following : http://paste.ubuntu.com/607351/ [10:25] angheloko: yeah, current ubuntu uses upstart and other new tech that may mean it is better to do a full install from scratch, as an upgrade from a mini install may fail [10:26] magepsycho: and is caches your credentials so you don't have to keep typing your password over and over [10:26] magepsycho: Yes, that is normal. what commands are you trying to run? [10:27] [10:27] guys main problem is that.. /var/www/ folder is for my php projects and i every time have to give 777 to the project folder when i tried to use in editor [10:27] how to get rid of this.. i though .. running as root there wont be any issues of file permissions [10:27] @megapsycho add urself to www-data group? [10:27] hey guys, i cant activate animation effects.. i activated animationaddons, added compizconfig-settings-manager, and plugins, but can't see the animation working? [10:27] or edit ur apache conf [10:28] or add in ur site in the sites-available [10:28] i am totally a newbie.. can you help me angheloko [10:28] magepsycho: yes, do what angheloko said (or something similar). DO NOT do what you are trying to do [10:28] angheloko, yeah, better off changing documentroot in apache config [10:29] guys i am confused .. suggest one best approach .. i am newbie [10:29] hey what should i do to see animations? [10:29] magepsycho: it is hard to tell you exactly what to do without knowing your exact setup. does your PHP program write / modify files in your /var/www folder? [10:29] @megapsycho what i do when i have a web project is create the workspace in my home dir and add in a conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available [10:29] magepsycho, if you have to access a directory,, it is easy to use sudo nautilus,,, do what you need then close out [10:31] actually FCGreg .. in /var/www/ i create php projects say project1/ project2/ [10:31] and i use editor: eclipse pdt for it [10:31] how do i keep this /etc/update-motd.d/* from running as root at every login [10:31] that way i have full control of my files.. alternatively, grant rwx access to www-data group... can u ls -l ur /var/www? [10:31] coz_: once again that is not a good solution as it can leave files, especially new files with root privliges in a web accessable directory. the correct solution is as angheloko ond others suggested, add yourself to the www-data group or keep the files in your home dir and alter apache config [10:33] having incorrect permissions on files in webservers is one of the major security holes that are often exploited by the bad guys [10:33] magepsycho: keeping your current web config the best option would be to add yourself to the www-data group on your system [10:33] dcg: very true === lolstar_ is now known as kali` [10:37] If I can jump on my soapbox once more,....everyone that offers advice somewhere like this (especially here where newbies often ask questions) should be verry carefull to NOT suggest anything that may compromise security. hence recommending that sudo only be used when absolutely necessary, and keeping permissions untouched in non user directories etc. The last thing a new user wants is to "tweek" there system into a state where it gets hacked. If [10:37] what is the process name for the unity panel/universal menu bar thing? it crashed and I want to reopen it [10:37] FCGreg: what system are you currently running? [10:38] dcg: "where it gets hacked. If" <- was there supposed to be something more? [10:38] Peddy: unity-panel-service [10:39] Peddy: try unity --replace [10:39] Peddy: I honestly don't know, I dislike the new Unity interface, the early one used on Netbook remix was good, but last couple of versions sucked IMHO === erebus is now known as Goliath [10:39] dcg: agreed. I am running Ubuntu and Xubuntu 11.04 on standalone machines and in a virtual machine on a Mac (on the Mac right now) [10:39] thanks soreau, that did the trick. Now, to sort out window decorations randomly disappearing... [10:39] szal: hacked. If this happens the linux community may well loose a convert. [10:40] dcg: thx.. smells like Irssi w/o a line-wrapper script ^^ [10:40] dcg, interesting, I think it could be quite usable when the bugs are ironed out. And things such as dual-monitors and fullscreen video are handled better. [10:40] i choosed another monitor from my ati control panel. but it says i have to restart system to take effect. Does this mean restart x? How do i do it without rebooting? (cause the changes i make are lost) [10:40] FCGreg: would you mind stepping next door to #sbts I would like to get you to check a few things for me, I am looking at some grub issues on a remote machine and don't have a local 11.04 install to look at [10:41] FCGreg: What software on Mac for virtual machines? [10:41] Goliath: Try sys>prefs>monitors [10:41] Goliath: or gnome-display-properties [10:41] soreau, where has the whole sys> menu gone with unity? is it no longer in use? [10:41] szal: yes irssi but never had issues with others loosing bits of messages....I have had clients that chop messages short though [10:41] dcg: andrew_46: I am running current Parallels on a Macbook Pro running a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 atm [10:41] soreau: i am on kubuntu cant find that [10:41] I'll pop over there [10:42] hi, I have just installed ubuntu after not using it for a few years, how do I get the window control back to the right hand side? [10:42] soreau: we have krandr [10:42] here [10:42] Peddy: You can find it in classic ubuntu mode or click on the power button in the panel and select system preferences IIRC [10:42] soreau, oh, 'control center' is pretty slick, thanks. [10:43] Goliath: Oh right, I dont know how kde does it but there should be a way to do it without ati control panel [10:43] does anyone know how to change the 'title' font of universal menubar? [10:43] soreau: btw do we have disper in ubuntu? [10:43] its similar [10:43] Goliath: In fact, if you dont explicitly need fglrx, you should remove it so you can use the default opem source radeon driver [10:44] how can I make the mximise, minimise close buttons go back to the right hand side? [10:44] droidgirl, open gconf-editor [10:44] ok [10:44] droidgirl, maneauver to apps/metacity [10:45] droidgirl, then general and in the right hand list look for "button_layout" [10:45] hi all. i would like to `rsync` to a fat32 parition. what do i need to consider? is rsync my best option here? i do not need to retain any permissions. but keeping the timestamps would be nice [10:45] droidgirl, all you need to do is move the "close" to the end and switch the " and , [10:46] droidgirl, it should look like this :minimize,maximize,close [10:46] ahh ok thanks will try that === underscore is now known as larstov [10:46] woohoo, done, thank you very much coz_ :) [10:47] droidgirl, no problme [10:47] what should i do to my ubuntu now?!

[10:50] nicknotregistred, depends on the card I believe,, but soreau may be the best one to know that answer [10:50] i wanna tweek stuff, got all i need installed allready [10:50] my card is onboard (laptop) ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M], coz_ [10:50] i remember (back in the day) i used fedora 4, you could make hard disks work faster [10:51] i have the default drivers, didn't try any [10:51] no_face: why not go to 11.04 change login session to give you the traditional gnome interface and start tweeking from there? [10:51] no_face, well not being on your system,, and not knowing your tastes,, I think ,, in this case,, even though I am not saying this to push you away ,,, google is your friend in this case :) [10:52] nicknotregistred, either ask soreau ask in #radeon channel perhaps [10:52] Hi guys can someone tell me what printer is suitable for ubuntu linux?

Then, go to Dell's site and download the driver. [10:54] raven, if you didn't know that then don't install =P [10:55] beecarr, http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/databaseintro [10:55] I had the same issue with a Canon all-in-one.

[11:09] @megapsycho use && at the end of each command or & to run te command in bg [11:09] magepsycho, look at && [11:09] && is safer since it will wait for an exit status of 0 on the previous command [11:11] dependencies are : cups, cups-client, ghostscript, libc6, libpaper-utils.

[11:19] hi all [11:20] hi all, im trying to configure webmin on ubuntu server 10.04. but im not able to access the webmin page [11:20] eleruin: that is strange then, perhaps you need to try printing to pdf from some other programs, in case it is a compatibility issue. for that matter it could be a good idea to try viewing from different programs/computers too [11:21] there's actually a menu with lots of predefined options in the keyboard ettings of ubuntu. making caps lock a backspace was one of them, but i didnt find anything to make the right alt key a ctrl :( [11:21] time to go... bye all! maybe i'll do a min install of natty and just restore the .conf files that i need... need to fuel up with caffeine, uyeah! [11:23] anyone tell me how to access the shared folder from ubuntu in same network [11:24] Ok, i'm sorry, cups-pdf works with another program.

[11:52] treadstone: for security, I would suggest maybe mounting /tmp as tmpfs that way it only exists in ram. having said that you do need enough ram to cater for your tmp needs [11:53] a1219: you may need to run "sudo apt-get update" from a commandline [11:54] what then? [11:55] I'm from china [11:55] i put in my ubuntudesktop cd and ran 'apt-cdrom add', it worked without errors, how can i force apt to resolve dependencies from the cdrom, because i get a forbidden error when it uses the other enteries in the sources.list [11:55] hi [11:56] oCean, you there?

[11:57] treadstone: that depends on what your system is being used for, and what is going to end up in /tmp [11:57] mithran: you there? [11:57] thebwt, i was thinking that, ok ill do that..thanks... [11:57] mithran: yea just pop opent he sources gui, and uncheck the others. Then do an update. [11:58] ok doing that [11:58] mithran: I wouldn't remove them, just uncheck so you canf igure out why it's forbbiden when you feel like it. [11:58] treadstone: a starting point would be to have lots fo the things that the machine should be doing running, the run command "sudo du -sh /tmp" this will tell you how much space in currently in use for /tmp [11:58] guys ctrl + alt + f1 locked me [11:58] i was unable to get out to that full size black screen [11:58] hi i have a question: i just installed my cannon Pixma MP190 printer but when i try to print nothing happens, does anyone know what i can do about that? everything is connected right [11:58] and i have to shutdown forcefully [11:58] treadstone: then I would at least double that just for the tmpfs [11:58] even then it may not be enough [11:58] Does anyone else use mirgi on phone to chat [11:59] I mean mirggi [12:00] No, the version is 1.1.4.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:07] mithran: wait, what did you do exactly? [12:07] hello, where do i find module snd-pcm-oss in ubuntu 11?

[12:10] *trying to use desktopcd to install GUI on server [12:10] what irc clients are you use? [12:10] i am using a addon of opera [12:10] guys one important question: in my update manager i can see updates [12:10] yes, some keyword is blocked by the admin and they are failinbg with 403 forbidden error [12:10] Or can someone here help me with the calibration of a touch screen? [12:10] is it better to make updates (with checked rows) instead of uprade to newer version on the top ... [12:10] I have a firend using Ubuntu 11.04, and he always says: "All hail Mark Shuttleworth, the Ubergod of Ubuntu Linux." [12:11] * pascal__ sighs [12:11] anyone? where can i find kernel module snd-pcm-oss.ko in ubunt 11.04? [12:11] a1219: looks like all th erepos you should need are there, try searching on http://packages.ubuntu.com.au [12:11] i don't want to upgrade to 11.04 but want to upgrades the softwares/applications [12:11] but it nearly crashed just now because of the vast number of rooms on this server [12:11] my modem is sligtly off time i cant set it myself Does a minute or 3 mean anything [12:11] mithran: reading and looking stuff up [12:11] ok me too [12:12] Wooga: you probably won't get an answer on that, oss has been depriciated for a very long time, I don't think current kernels even support it anymore [12:13] mithran: okay and everything in sources is commented out for sure? [12:13] dcg: so how do i use aoss with oss applications? [12:13] to update,try sudo apt-get upgrade [12:13] mike-w: try xchat (gui) or irssi (if you want cli) [12:13] hello [12:13] Can someone help me with the calibration and activation of a touch screen? I have a driver but I need help installing it. === Darko_ is now known as emcho [12:13] yeah,i've got Xchat [12:14] Wooga: there are a number of good aoss howto's on the web. and in the documentaion for the aoss package, from memory /usr/share/doc/aoss/ [12:14] connect irc.sport-scene.net [12:15] Wooga: the best thing to do is contact the person that maintains the app and request that they update the app to use alsa or pulse instead [12:15] can somebody help me with an ubuntu bug? do you mayne know something about ubuntu randomly logging off? i've searched the net for solutions, but I got no luck... [12:15] dcg: this is not possible [12:15] There is no VLC 1.1.9, only 1.1.4. I took the .txt, did a search for VLC and 1.1.9, but no results. [12:16] Wooga: that would be unusual, unless it is an ancient app, in which case it may not work on a modern system due to library issues anyway. [12:16] hi whats tramissions filename? [12:16] dcg: yes, it is anicent app, game port of SoF1 [12:16] hey guys, could somebody please help me in translating a natd command into iptables rules? im following a howto but stuck [12:17] a1219: if that is the case you may be able to find a private repository or ppa to use, check the vlc webpage they may have a link to ubuntu or debian packages [12:17] ChrisTX, how do you find RDP compared to VNC? [12:18] VNC is somewhat laggy, I'm trying to use X11 Remoting where possible [12:18] Wooga: if that is the case you really probably need to run the app on a linux version from the same eara as the game was compiled on. [12:18] ChrisTX, same experience here - it's slow even over 1 gigabit LAN :/ [12:19] while RDP works well even via GPRS [12:19] Wooga: Solders of Fortune for linux or I have something wrong? [12:19] ChrisTX: I hope you are using ssh tunnels with X11 remoting, otherwise it is not very safe (secure) [12:19] dcg, I am, couldnt figure how to use xauth [12:19] They don't have packages, only a bz2 [12:19] on LAN in doesnt matter I guess [12:20] thebwt, ya everything in sources.list is commented out.. [12:20] ChrisTX: Xauth only handles some of the authentication issues, it doesn't stop all of your information being transferred as plain text (including passwords) [12:21] ChrisTX: even on a lan security matters [12:21] dcg, I know, but in wired LAN, why would I need that? [12:21] mithran: kk then when it IGN's what is it hitting? do you have ppa's or something thats not in the sources/list file? === mike is now known as Guest61089 [12:21] eh [12:21] a1219: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2 && sudo apt-get update [12:22] ChrisTX: Shadowww|RDP have you guys ever looked at xpra? it may be just the berries [12:22] a1219: there is PPA: https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc [12:22] a1219: use of 3rd-party repos and ppa on your own risk === marija is now known as blazho [12:22] dcg, any different from Xvfb? [12:22] a1219: 1.1.7 latest in fast search [12:23] ive got only 2 entries '1 is lucid/main main Translation_en_IN' and '2 is lucid/restricted main Translation_en_IN' both of them are IGN'ed [12:23] ChrisTX: even on a wired lan it is possible for any connected device to run software to monitor all network traffic, in which case any sensitive information could be captured, especially if there is a microsoft OS on the network [12:23] Hello all i upgraded to 11.04 andthe wireless drivers well not work. The ones that worked in 10.10 (and 10.04 had both installed at one time or antother) do not work now. [12:23] Shadowww|RDP: yes some major benefits, and much simpler to use, there is also a management gui too [12:23] dcg, I thought Microsoft OSes have proper security for remote administration protocols such as RDP? [12:23] thebwt, i sent something [12:23] HOLA [12:24] dcg, Im using a single RJ45 plug to connect the two computers [12:24] mithran: I don't understand [12:24] nothing that could sniff there [12:24] ALGUIEN SABE COMO PUEDO INSTALAR CANAIMA EDUCATIVO EN UBUNTU 10.04 [12:24] !es | venezat-1 [12:24] venezat-1: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[12:25] am i supposed to put the 'apt-cdrom' lines in the sources.list? cos i was just running them from the terminal [12:25] OK GRACIAS [12:25] has any one had there wireless stop working after the upgrade? [12:25] Shadowww|RDP: the security issues have nothing to do with the microsoft rdp side, but the act of using X11 remote protocol which is not secured AT ALL as anything sent over it can be captured from anywhere onthe network [12:25] when I did 'aptitude update', there were only 2 hits one was lucid main and the other was lucid/restricted [12:25] thebwt, === dare is now known as Mnogo [12:25] cmarenburg, how did you managed to get wireless working on linux in first place? === Mnogo is now known as Chacha [12:26] ChrisTX: so there is no adsl modem or anything else connected to either computer? and you can guarantee that there is no malicious software logging network traffic on either machine? [12:26] What did you mean? Ubuntu detected on first boot [12:27] mithran: can you paste the output of 'apt-get update' to paste.ubuntu.com? === Chacha is now known as SMENISEBE === SMENISEBE is now known as TEOELUD [12:28] thebwt, ya sure, just a sec [12:28] !wifi | Shadowww|RDP [12:28] Shadowww|RDP: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:28] no [12:28] Shadowww|RDP: Sorry [12:28] i can see the content [12:28] dcg, the link between the computers is not externall accessible, one pc has two network cards, one to the internet, one to the other pc.. as for malware, if either PC was infected, it could log my keystrokes anyway. still that's not the point, I simply want to setup xauth for the configuration [12:29] there are some cats,right? [12:29] also, both computers are linux so what are the chances of either having malware? [12:29] ChrisTX, pretty huge, remember the gnome-look case [12:30] I dont have anything coming from outside the repos installed [12:30] ChrisTX: in the past I have used Xauth, but recent versions of ubuntu have made it almost impossible, certainly not possible at all with ubuntu's version of GDM [12:31] Hello [12:31] what do you mean impossible? [12:31] ChrisTX, how about unrealircd? :D [12:31] not having that installed either [12:31] ChrisTX: it is potentially possible for malware to be installed just by visiting a web page or viewing a nasty image. === lilstevie|ZNC is now known as lilstevie [12:31] dcg, I don't recall him telling about a presence of a proper routed uplink [12:32] thebwt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/607383/ [12:32] dcg, I thought Linux malware was pretty much non-existant? [12:32] ChrisTX: regardless of all that, what I ment by impossible was that the version of GDM installed with ubuntu is non-standard, and has all remote auth features disabled [12:32] ChrisTX: urban legend [12:32] mithran: that looks fine actually. So what happens when you try to install something? === viki is now known as Andrea [12:33] thebwt, you are right actually, i get results for some apt seraches [12:33] Is it possible to have a Unity-style appmenu while using Ubuntu Classic? === Andrea is now known as Guest51487 [12:33] fr00g: yes [12:33] fr00g: install the appmenu indicator [12:33] ChrisTX: if you do a web search for linux virus/malware you will find (amongst the hits that say it is impossible) a number of lists of virus [12:33] LjL, how?

[12:34] ChrisTX: virus's and malware that have been seen in the past, just non of them have made a significant splahs [12:34] fr00g: not sure what you mean [12:34] Hello. I see the sound card, and it says it has 2 channels, one input and one output, but mic is not working and level bar doesn't indicate that too. It's not muted, fwiw [12:34] would someone please help [12:34] fr00g: the window title on the top bar? not sure you can do that [12:34] the only two cases of malware I know of, were that gnome look and that unrealircd incident [12:34] LjL, in Unity, you have the window title, and when you mouse over it, the menu appears [12:35] LjL, I can't get that, I only have menus [12:35] mithran: is there a package called 'ubuntu-desktop' ? === NataLiiiJaaaaaaa is now known as Meliii [12:35] fr00g: hmm try seeing if the window picker panel applet or something else will show you a window title (but it won't be the same as Unity still). i'm on KDE right now so can't try. === blazho is now known as waw === waw is now known as blazho === Guest51487 is now known as Andrejce [12:36] !nickspam > Andrejce [12:36] Andrejce, please see my private message [12:37] !nickspam > Shadowww|RDP [12:37] Shadowww|RDP, please see my private message [12:37] thebwt, nope, there are also no entries for x11 server, desktop, [12:37] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b6ad251d761e4a78193adacb5b4bc9eb956ff223 [12:37] thebwt, let me do a find on the cd to see if there is a package like that [12:38] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2 ERROR 404 [12:38] hi, I'm having some problems with wine and installing the original starcraft game.

[13:12] bazhang: then, it's there any other kernel I can install? [13:12] BlouBlou, you could check the latest PPA for mainline kernel I suppose, be aware its completely unsupported [13:13] bazhang, how can i download the packages from a windows machine? [13:13] metroid1, some ccsm plugin perhaps? [13:13] bazhang: anyways, if kernel fails, just select another one and unistall it, right? there isn't a problem with it [13:13] mithran, how many packages are we talking about [13:14] hey guys, i've got a real problem... just installed the ati drivers from the amd website and now i don't have anything in my xorg.conf what do i do?! [13:14] bazhang: is there some a tutorial somewhere for setting up unity properly? [13:14] i had /home on different partition.. after reinstalling Natty, all items on Desktop are gone. but Music, Downloads some other folders are intact. is it the default behavior ? [13:14] both my desktop and laptop have a 10 sec delay in booting where init just sits idle, it didn't do this in 10.04. Anyone know how to fix it? [13:15] metroid1, not that I know of, if your card supports it, and you have the drivers, then it'll run [13:15] bazhang, 2 meta packages, 'xserver-xorg' and 'kde-full' [13:15] mithran, those metapackages will pull in a ton of others [13:15] Anyway.. is there a chance that my graphics will be alright again if I somehow uninstall my proprietary drivers, or update my kernel with ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa ? [13:15] ok, but i need all of them [13:16] bazhang, i dont have a gui [13:16] how do i setup a administrative passwd [13:16] mithran, presumably from packages.ubuntu.com but that seems a huge task [13:16] Can I make anacron watch my personal crontab as well as the crontabs in /etc/ ? [13:16] mithran, aptoncd would be easier [13:16] sporedi: sudo passwrd [13:16] sporedi, when you install, its the sudo password [13:17] !aptoncd | mithran [13:17] mithran: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [13:17] install vlc 1.1.9 on u 10.10 mm [13:17] mithran, your windows computer has no gui? [13:17] cdavis: sudo crontab -e (for root jobs) [13:17] a1219, why do you need it [13:17] bazhang: yes i can use that in terminal but when i try to install some package it ask me to enter administrative passwd [13:18] i had /home on different partition.. after reinstalling Natty, all items on Desktop are gone. but Music, Downloads some other folders are intact. is it the default behavior ? [13:18] anyone able to help me rebuild my xorg.conf [13:18] sporedi, then type the sudo password [13:18] bazhang, that one has, the ubuntu server does not have one [13:18] mithran, you want to clone a server? why not just get the server installer cd [13:18] hello, can someone tell me how to name the other part of code name - Narwhal, in my presentation (Natty is name of animal), thanks!! [13:19] It is my favourite Media Player... [13:19] a1219, that number I mean.. [13:19] how do i change the default compiz theme? [13:19] Narwhal is an animal. Natty is a descriptor, I think. [13:19] i have the cd, but it does not have gui packages, and i cant use the internet to get them [13:19] bazhang, [13:19] It is the newest version! [13:19] bazhang: can you answer my last question pls? :P it's just for security reasons; how to change grub2-wait-time before autoboot ubuntu? [13:19] jodlajodla, narwhal is the second part, the creature [13:19] Natty Narwhal [13:19] i have to enter passwd in gui ,i have intalled bootup manager when i want to run to it ask for administrative passwd [13:19] no_face: the easiest way is just to delete it, xorg will normally work fine without one [13:20] lololololololol... The chat is very active! [13:20] martijn_dekker and bazhang, thanks! :) [13:20] dcg; if i reboot will it still work? [13:20] BlouBlou, edit the grub timeout? [13:20] bazhang: right [13:20] in terminal i am able to use sudo xxxxxx [13:20] BlouBlou: in recent ubuntu /etc/default/grub [13:20] sporedi, and the gui too [13:20] no_face: yes it should [13:20] ok [13:21] dcg: why can i not test to see if my ati driver install works [13:21] sporedi, if it asks for it, of course [13:21] so how do i install it? [13:21] a1219, its not supported, just use the one in the repos [13:21] is there a ppa for quicklists ?? [13:21] dcg: and what part of that file should I change? I want, for example, 10 seconds [13:21] ok let me try [13:21] dr3mro, check the ppa search [13:21] dcg: i can't even run sudo aticonfig --initial -f [13:21] Do you know a third party repo? Because the muench on doesn't work for me. [13:22] a1219, not supported= you find it [13:22] no_face: I don't know as I don't use ati at all, I prefer nvidia for many reasons [13:22] a1219: do you really require the updated version? [13:22] !latest | a1219 [13:22] a1219: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [13:22] anyone know of any nice icon themes for gnome, (desktop icons/folders, etc)? [13:22] dcg: can you pull my hair out for me as i am running out of hands [13:22] mcurran, check gnome-look [13:23] I need it! [13:23] a1219, then stop asking for it here. [13:23] BlouBlou: I think there should be a man page that covers what options are available, if not a quick search on the web should turn something up. also don't forget to check /usr/share/doc/grub* [13:24] bazhang: sorry there is only option for passwd if i type any other word that box take it as a passwd [13:24] sporedi, what box [13:25] no_face: normally I would not be manually configuring video drivers these days. you should start with no xorg.conf file, then reboot. once logged in go to System > Administration > Additional Drivers and install from there [13:25] bootup manager [13:26] i want to control boot up process [13:26] dcg: i downloaded the drivers from AMD [13:26] sporedi, installed from where [13:26] <_Abe_> I can run the xubuntu live environment from my usb stick just fine, but when I try to install, the installer just sits there.. Same thing if I choose to install @ boot time without going in to the live environment. I get the first question about what language, click on next/forward and bam... nothing happens :-/ [13:26] <_Abe_> anyone else had this problem? [13:27] _Abe_, try #xubuntu [13:27] no_face: start off by installing from the ubuntu gui, if that doesn't work then consider installing what you downloaded. [13:27] Any ATI people here [13:27] <_Abe_> bazhang: same thing with Ubuntu [13:27] installed from internet ,http://www.ubuntugeek.com/boot-up-manager-bum-graphical-runlevel-editor.html [13:27] no_face, install from repos not ati site, as dcg suggests [13:27] dcg, that is what i have done, but i removed the driver first [13:27] _Abe_: what hardware are you truing to install on [13:28] <_Abe_> dcg: Acer Aspire One 532h [13:28] the driver in the repo's are... dull [13:28] when i click on bootup manager it ask for a passwd [13:28] ok what cpu (pentium II etc) how much ram, and what size hdd === martin_ is now known as harvi_svk [13:29] I have run 'Additional Drivers' and the only suggestion it makes is the nVidia driver. So, I still can't enable wireless [13:30] <_Abe_> n450 (pineview 1.6GHz), 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD [13:30] it also ask for passwd for synaptic package manager [13:30] how do i start synaptic package manager from command line ? [13:31] _Abe_: those specs should be OK, you may need to pass a kernel option at boot, but unfortunately I don't know which one. you may need to do some googling [13:31] _Abe_: hello abe [13:31] So, WTF ? How is it possible that the Ubuntu installer can use the Wireless adapter, but the installed version can't [13:31] _Abe_: turn of ACPI or something [13:31] !apt-get | sporedi [13:31] sporedi: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [13:31] pupuser9a5750: mind your language here [13:32] _Abe_: the first option when you boot the live cd [13:32] _Abe_: i had that problem with my macbook [13:32] <_Abe_> hmm, I need to dl the 10.10 version or maybe even an earlier release as they installed without any probs.. and maybe update from there [13:32] sporedi: It is invoked with: sudo apt-get, but you will still need a password. [13:32] pupuser9a5750: I would recommend starting the live CD and find out what drivers are being used for the wireless. then you at lease have a place to look. [13:33] Hmm... good suggestion. I'll try that [13:33] pupuser9a5750: it is possible that your device has another driver that is interfering. one that is not on the live cd [13:33] Maybe [13:33] How would I check ? [13:33] ok [13:33] thanks [13:33] !maverick | _Abe_ [13:33] _Abe_: 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 [13:34] where i can get good info on ubuntu vps [13:34] pupuser9a5750: that will be something I don't have time to help you with tonight, getting close to bedtime. others may be able to help or do some googling [13:34] sporedi: Keep in mind that Synaptic is simply a front-end GUI for apt-get. [13:35] hello. on my secondary computer I made my /tmp folder to use RAM and I set the max size 256M, but what happens, if its filled 100% where does it store files then?

Anyone know how i can see/test what is causing this serious lag? I'd like to submit a bug report, but don't know where to start on this one. === Guest53947 is now known as sm` [13:40] guys! where do i get the latest ATI drivers from? [13:41] no_face: the ati web site. but i reccomend using the ones in the repos. [13:41] no_face: download it from ati website [13:41] help,vpn cant work,anybody know why? [13:41] how to install games on wine? [13:41] i jare you two ati users? [13:41] bazhang, if i list a package name in 'http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt' will i be able to see all of its dependencies? [13:41] Are you two ATI users? [13:41] jiltdil: douible click the exe/installer.. or 'wine /path/to/installer.exe' [13:41] no_face: yes [13:41] no_face: not when i have other options.. [13:42] I have 1 ati machine left./ [13:42] Dr_willis;thanks [13:42] mithran: yes, or you can choose to see only the dependencies that are not contained in ubuntu-desktop (or another package of your choice). that site is not yet available for Natty though. [13:42] vpn cant work ,why? [13:42] LjL, thanks. [13:44] hello, apps turn white when i open 3-5 of them, how do i fix that? [13:45] Nuc134rB0t, Add more RAM? [13:45] Sidewinder1, , 2gb are not enough now? o.0 [13:46] vpn cant work ,what to do ? [13:46] Nuc134rB0t, It was just a thought. === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [13:46] Hiyas [13:47] Sidewinder1, oh... pheww.! [13:47] I installVbox OSE and under devices menu is Install Guest Additions and doing that it wants to download that what is that? [13:48] Nuc134rB0t, I only have 1 Gig and, once in a while I experience the same thing; lucily it doesn't generally last long. [13:48] 2-6 seconds [13:48] Sidewinder1, ati or nvidia user? [13:49] nvidia user [13:50] amin4: downloading the latest guest addations.. [13:50] Nuc134rB0t, The latter. [13:50] i've googled it everyday but it seems noone has come out with the right solution yet, old posts suggest installing propetary drivers which won't work either. [13:51] Dr_Willis:what does it do? [13:51] amin4: enables extra features in vbox. You may want to read the vbox manual at its homepage..... [13:51] where should I read about that? [13:52] amin4: the virtual box homepage... [13:52] anybody knows what the wireless icon on the notification bar lost the wireless signal strength tooltip on natty?? [13:52] i mean why [13:53] amin4, Guest Additions is mostly to auto catch your mouse point, and not have to use right ctrl for that [13:53] Guest97130: they dont want 'indicator-apps' to be dynamic i guess. [13:53] hi === Guest97130 is now known as DrNoone [13:53] Nuc134rB0t: actually i think with the latest vbox versions it allready can do that without the guest addations.. well some of the guest addation features are getting merged into the vbox core at least. [13:53] i have problem with bochs on ubuntu [13:54] Dr_Willis, it was a great feature for using wireless on some poor signal areas at home!! [13:54] Nuc134rB0t: What else it do does it install any os?///////////////////// [13:54] Dr_Willis, thats ncie news, i haven't tried the latest version yet.

[13:55] amin4, i don't remember :) i used to need it for that purpose only (from what i remember) [13:55] Nuc134rB0t: yea . some of the improvements can cause confusion when you are used to the old ways.

[14:06] need_help, haven't seen that, i couldn't tell what it really is, i mean, there seems to be a problem, but i don't know what kind [14:06] muneeb: I understand,but it still would install overtop the previous install.

[14:34] help please [14:35] rileypv: try sudo service nfs restart [14:35] damin_-_ : flash is slower in every distro . On win. it runs fine. [14:35] cheater666, ah yeah, it's not installed by default :/ [14:35] can i update from 10.04 to natty via say update manager [14:35] or do i need to download the iso again [14:35] nfs: unrecognized service [14:35] cheater666, can't you restart the X server without rebooting though? .... maybe not now with the process running but to fix that in the future I mean. [14:35] but its in and it works mythtv [14:36] and you could run future background processes with nohup [14:36] you can download the alternate CD from torrents [14:36] hello there! [14:37] mudd1, when i tried that it locked up linux [14:37] I have a DELL inspiron 1525 with Vista installed as when I bought the laptop 3 years ago.... it's got the recovery partition [14:37] damian_-_, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [14:37] I have 250GB in my HDD I would like to reuse this partition and install [14:38] Ubuntu in 50GB [14:38] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [14:38] vecause i just updated. [14:38] cheater666, wow, this sucks [14:38] 50GB Vista [14:38] 50GB Debian [14:38] you can't do anything in that Live environment [14:38] mudd1, yeah lol [14:38] and leav the rest spare for when I need [14:38] yeah :X [14:38] anybody can help me wqith that? [14:39] will the natty disc allow me to upgrade? ive never tried or seen anything afaik [14:39] damian_-_, yes [14:39] awesome thanks [14:39] Miguelpcn: put your question(s) in one line, please [14:40] anyone know a guide for mozplugger. im having trouble with linux flash and wanted to use windows flash [14:40] MonkyDust: not exactly... I couldn't find a definite answer to actually use the recovery partition.... [14:41] if I use the recovery partiion, do I have to first save the drivers? [14:41] another one: will all the hardware automatically be working on my ubuntu or I qill have to install a few drivers first? [14:41] cheater666, last idea I have is to try gcursor [14:42] you have to install it but AFAIK it works without having to restart X [14:42] anyone know a guide for mozplugger. im having trouble with linux flash and wanted to use windows flash. or can i use gnash or swfdec in firefox for FLV [14:42] and maybe it resets something that will bring your cursor back [14:42] let me try - thanks a lot mudd1 [14:42] !kvm [14:42] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [14:43] cheater666, no problem, I hope that last idea finally helps [14:43] sup [14:43] Miguelpcn, you will probably need to install the drivers for your graphic and wireless cards, but ubuntu will pop up a msg suggesting the correct drivers [14:43] 'lo Hyst [14:43] mudd1, doesn't seem to help :-\ [14:44] mudd1, i think the cursor is being drawn in some way different than the rest of the window system [14:44] so this is BS. im in the flash channel and one fo the adobe devs answered my question to "is there a flash alternative" with. "no but there is an ubuntu alternative, windows!" [14:44] ok... I also noticed that you must pay for Ubuntu, is that true for home use as well? [14:44] Miguelpcn: you don't have to pay for Ubuntu [14:45] Can I use the server version as well? is it free? [14:45] it's all free [14:45] and it will always be free [14:46] that's the point of Ubuntu [14:46] Miguelpcn, I think you only have to pay if you want an original cd/dvd delivered to your house, but you can download ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com for free [14:46] the idea is to provide a free, open-source OS [14:46] cheater666, sorry this didn't work either [14:46] Miguelpcn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq [14:46] all sorts of info on server [14:46] cool... THANKS EVERYBODY [14:46] mudd1, thanks for the help though =) [14:46] * LAcan cheers! [14:46] clean install of 11.04 on a machine with an ATI AGP card with 2 monitors and an NVIDIA PCI card with 1 monitor. 2x monitors on ATI are working but wont go higher than 1024x768 and NVIDA one is not working or showing in the monitor settings but it has installed the Nvidia driver in "Additional Drivers" - can anyone help? [14:47] i'm wondering if there are some sort of "layers" in the way the desktop is drawn in linux.. [14:47] ichilton, i think 11.04 is buggy for dual head systems [14:47] remonds me. there is a guy selling ubuntu on ebay for $50, people are buying it too. what can be done about that. i contacted ebay but they didnt do anything about it [14:47] LAcan: oh...better off installing 10.10 then? [14:47] Hi, I have à real strange issue. Just upgraded to 11.04 on my aspire 5920g with nvidia 8600m gt. Now it doesn't start. It keeps hanging on purple screen with normal grub params. If i try the recovery mode it keeps hanging on 'loading initial ramdisk ...'. But I have found à workaround to start my pc. First starst in recovery mode, then alt ctrl del and start Ubuntu with params 'text' and then start gdm [14:47] ichilton, ya or 10.04 the LTS [14:48] LAcan: ok, thanks [14:48] Can somebody help me debug THE problem? [14:48] LAcan: should it then just detect both graphics cards and all 3 monitors? [14:48] hello [14:48] LAcan: If you need to, how do you get Ubuntu to re-detect graphics adapters/x settings? [14:48] ichilton, i only have the one monitor so i cant say for sure, but a lot of bugs in 11.04 for dual head systems [14:49] LAcan: ok, thanks [14:49] ichilton, additonal drivers did that for you...

[15:21] !backtrack > wireis [15:21] wireis, please see my private message [15:21] Thanks, I never think about that ! |cablop [15:22] I tried ubuntu, but if some esiyer is there i can try it | cablop [15:22] When I go to google it's in some other language. There is a link to change it to english but if I restart the machine it goes back to this other language. What might be causing this? locale ? [15:22] no problem ubottu, thankyou anyway :) [15:22] Vogie if ubuntu or windows you'll probably need the vbox additions inside the guest OS [15:22] how can i transfer files from my desktop workstation to my lappy, !! my lappy detects the usb cable ''USB-USB Bridge'', but not the workstation !(though 'lsusb' shows it 'do I rerally need any package to install ? [15:23] How do I stop the Desktop entry from being created on start-up? I can't find the file and grep -lir takes forever... [15:23] isn't it better if i install 2 ubuntu in virtualBox and then try configure LDAP | cablop [15:23] please help [15:23] how can i transfer files from my desktop workstation to my lappy, !! my lappy detects the usb cable ''USB-USB Bridge'', but not the workstation !(though 'lsusb' shows it 'do I rerally need any package to install ? [15:23] I already changed my working directory/desktop to /root/ [15:24] mcurran, What is 'the desktop entry' ? [15:24] mcurran, One place you might look is power button -> system-settings->startup apps [15:24] or /home/, I haven't made up my mind, but I don't want Desktop [15:24] unless I can change Desktop to desktop [15:25] mcurran, Please explain what you're talking about. [15:25] anyone using a macbook with the 4965 agn card from Intel? [15:25] I'm using gnome and it's default desktop shown is /root/Desktop, but I want it to be either /root/ or /home/mcurran/ [15:26] mcurran, Are you logging in as root? === me is now known as Guest64772 [15:26] mcurran, open a terminal and type whoami [15:26] I tried to change it to desktop instead of Desktop. and whether or not I use root is my business [15:26] hello all, I have a problem with youtube. Videos are not playing [15:26] vogie my suggestion would be, install those two ubuntus in different VMs, then connect them using a bridged connection, you need a real router or a computer acting as a router in your network, a simple workarround would be to use the internat vbox network, so each computer could have each IP, then test, but by using the vbox internal network your other OSes and computers cannot see them,... [15:26] ...dunno if the host can, never tried [15:27] I'm tired of using sudo for everything, and I know the risks, and it has nothing to do with my question [15:27] mcurran, alright. Running as root is really bad. to change the desktop folder open gconf-editor (int a terminal) [15:27] Guest64772, install adobe flash player [15:27] yeah [15:27] no, I mean, [15:27] @infobit i installed the ubuntu restricted, is the flash player inside that ? [15:28] for the gui desktop, I already changed the desktop viewed to /root/, but there is still a folder created for Desktop on every startup [15:28] mcurran: go with the gconf-editor suggestion edbian is telling you [15:28] Guest64772, use synaptic to install,type adobe flash in it and select the version, default no flash player avialablr you have to install [15:28] mcurran, apps ->nautilus->preferences [15:28] how can i test if they connect to gether ? I have router (ADSL modem and it's a router too ) | cablop [15:29] mcurran, There is a 'use home folder as desktop' I'm still looking for better customization. However root's homefolder is /root/ [15:29] how to test Networking is done | cablop [15:29] vogie, mmm [15:29] guest64772, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:29] got it I think, thank you [15:30] @infobit and @praveen i install flashplugin-nonfree [15:30] ok Guest64772 then try using youtube [15:30] If set to true, then Nautilus will use the user's home folder as the desktop. If it is false, then it will use ~/Desktop as the desktop. (I'm restarting, hope "Desktop" isn't created again." [15:30] hey guys. what's the default font set in 11.04? is it (reading down) sans, sans, ubuntu, ubuntu bold, monospace? or is it all ubuntu? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:31] hahah @infobit its working now [15:31] cablop, suggest i istall 2 ubuntu in 2 VMs and now how to test networking is OK ?! in ubuntu2 ping of IP address the ubuntu1 ?! [15:31] Guest64772, great!!!! [15:31] Vogie: ok, simple, configure one VM, make one of its Network Adapters a bridged adapter, attach it to the host network adapter, use ifconfig and ping to test them [15:31] @praveen thanks! [15:31] ok Guest64772 enjoy [15:31] will: ubuntu is the default sans font [15:32] vogie once working go to the other and repeat [15:32] will: monospace is the default monospace font, i don't think ubuntu comes in mono yet [15:32] I have a question regarding the design of my desktop. Some user have the big icons on the bottom of the desktop looking like a mac [15:32] how can i get that theme? [15:32] vogie right on the way to test, check that about bridged adapters, i think your VMs are using NAT by default [15:33] Guest64772, i think you are talking about avant window manager [15:33] cablop, just one thik => yes they are NAT and I'm gone fix it. [15:33] @praveen let me google that and see, brb [15:33] cablop may i have your mail ? (I have to go now) [15:33] Guest64772: that's not a theme, it's a program, they're probably using either awn, cairo-dock or docky [15:33] vogie in few words NAT makes your VM to act like any other program in the system, not as another computer, a bridged adapter will act as a real adapter wqith a real mac address either, you can see them as real NICs [15:34] tensorpudding: thanks for the clarification :) [15:35] vogie check private message [15:35] guest64772, something like this-- http://taufanlubis.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/avant-window-navigator.png [15:35] @praveen, I m downloading already. it looks really nice [15:36] @praveen thanks [15:36] @tensorpudding thank you [15:36] guest64772, my pleasure!!! [15:36] how edit and change menu entry in grub2 ? [15:37] lacan compdoc it seems i can pull files from FS with no issue, but can't send files from remote places... still unsure [15:37] maybe Ot [15:37] but those new scrollbars are just... well... nice [15:37] cablop, if you have another NIC handy i would try that [15:38] somehow confusing, but i like them [15:38] the other nic is failing a lot, due to driver issues, i'm using the onboard now [15:38] You guys make me wish i was onlinux instead of waiting 3 more hours for a torrent [15:38] on linux* [15:38] i'm trying to set a shortcut to a script, the script is working when i type it in the terminal, but the shortcut doesn't [15:38] i'm using gconf-editor [15:39] aguitel, everything is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [15:39] aureianimus: two options, check the full path to it, or, copy the gnome-terminal launcher and pass the command as a parameter, i use it to open a ssh in a maximized window here :P [15:40] Where is the wwwroot folder for apache2/apachectl? [15:42] hi all [15:42] cablop, the full path is correct (/home/pim/bin/toggleTouchpad) and i get the script by just using $ toggleTouchpad, should i just enter the last in the value of the key? [15:43] hey, i bought two apps in the software center on my desktop machine. Shouldn't i be able to use them on my laptop with the same launchpad account? [15:43] Guest34235: /var/www is DocumentRoot [15:43] please can anyone help me with pulseaudio surround settings ? [15:43] hey [15:43] aureianimus: i suggest you to put the whole path in the shortcut [15:43] aureianimus: once you kow it is working then try making path shorter [15:44] i've got a quick question, say I'm in the terminal and logged in as a non-admin account. can i run sudo, but have it authenticate with an account that isn't my own. like, normally when you sudo it just prompts for a password, but I want it to prompt for username and password so i can choose which account to auth with. [15:44] cablop, the full path is in there, but it's not working [15:44] how can i transfer files from my desktop workstation to my lappy, !! my lappy detects the usb cable ''USB-USB Bridge'', but not the workstation !(though 'lsusb' shows it 'do I rerally need any package to install ? [15:45] zak_: try Giver [15:47] aureianimus: check, this is what i have inside the shortcut i use to ssh, maybe you should try it [15:47] gnome-terminal --command="ssh -X user@192.168.1.150" --maximize [15:48] aureianimus: that would open a terminal and execute the command inside, if not, then place the command into a .sh file, make it executable and make a shortcut to that .sh file [15:48] cablop: i use ssh for this chat, what do you want to do? [15:49] where can I find a moonlight version compatible with firefox 4.0.1? novell moonlight 2.4.1 is not [15:49] cablop: use ssh -t user@IP "command" [15:49] if not moonlight, silverlight in open source [15:50] hello, I have a Toshiba laptop , have full numbatic keypad, can't use it anymore. 8,6,4,2 working like Mouse Arrow. how can I fix it ? thanks in advance [15:50] alz3abi: activate numlock [15:51] MonkeyDust: its on or off still same. was working before but not now.

There is a link to change it to english but if I restart the machine it goes back to this other language. What might be causing this? locale ? [15:52] aureianimus: use ssh -t user@IP "command", with the quotes [15:52] edbian: probably, does your locale match the language it displays in? [15:53] MonkeyDust, that's for sshing, right? i'm trying to create a shortcut to a normal script, which for some reason isn't working [15:53] not with just the full path, not with the above [15:53] Hi! [15:54] jrib, it's all english us utf-8 [15:54] edbian: that's kind of weird. What's general.useragent.locale set to in about:config? [15:54] jrib, ahhh good idea! lemme check [15:55] jrib, en-US [15:55] edbian: hmm [15:55] jrib, That was a good guess though [15:55] edbian: what language does it display? [15:55] Any python devs here? I know there's #python but I don't want to register. Don't need help, just some project ideas. [15:55] hi [15:55] Fike, register and come into #python. it's worth it. [15:55] Fike: #ubuntu-offtopic or #python please [15:55] jrib, The language looks very odd to me. Sort of arabic ish but I don't think it is arabic.

[15:56] LAcan compdoc i'm testing copying 27 GB to the file server, but requesting them in the file server, if it works maybe it is an ubuntu problem, not a nic one [15:56] I used to be regg'd here before, can't remember my nick :P [15:56] cablop, i doubt that very much.. noth machines are running ubuntu...? only one has the problem... [15:57] i'm trying to create a shortcut with gconf-editor. i've got the full path, but the shortcut is not working, any ideas? [15:57] cablop, if you havent installed a lot of drivers by hand, or messed with the OS much, then its likely a hardware issue [15:57] LAcan well, but hardware is different, maybe a driver problem on that machine or something, [15:58] What is the command to list installed kernels?

[15:58] cablop, i doubt it, you likely have a bad NIC.. the easiest troubleshoot is replacing the NIC... you prolly have an extra handy somewhere, or u can buy one for $15 [15:58] thank you cablop [15:58] hey all, is there a way to look (open with nano or whatever) at a file while it is in a tar archive file?

[15:59] edbian: this one seems most general: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32047 [15:59] LAcan: yes this is m,y thought, but if it is a linux problem , buying a new nic won't help, but, you seems to be right, i remembered we reinstalled ubuntu on the file system again... [16:00] LAcan, The results are english. The images videos etc etc is cryllic [16:00] LAcan, i can replace that board with another exactly equal board xD [16:00] edbian, ya i did eventually fix it but I dont remember how...

Now I get to dig around my .mozilla folder [16:22] MonkeyDust: I get only "command not found" [16:22] edbian: yeah, since you cleared cookies, maybe explore about:config a bit [16:23] R3ku: try avahi, not Avahi [16:23] jrib, yeah.

[16:28] anyone know where i can get bitch x === randomusr is now known as Guest73087 [16:29] Bookman: i think you could just change the extention or get a mounter/burnner that support .raw the only differance could be the header with maybe extra file structure info [16:29] bluebomber: I haven't really figured that out myself, other than using a normal shortcut or searching for it from the bar and clicking [16:30] teknowill, yeah, just changing the extension does not work. I don't want to burn it. I want to use the file in VirturalBox [16:30] what is 'frameworkd'? why does it keep taking 90% of CPU so i have to kill it?

Or is there more to it then that? And also, If I get rid of log in screen will i be logging in via command line? [16:31] Bookman: you could mount the .raw to a folder in linux, and mount the folder in vbox [16:31] hhi [16:32] i se xubuntu [16:32] i use xubuntu [16:32] teage, to get rid of login screen just enable dont ask password on startup option [16:32] hmmm, think i need to retype that [16:32] bluebomber: i don't know, i'm waiting on a torrent in windows at the moment so I can't try anything [16:32] i'm getting this error..

[16:36] socomm, dont like 11.04? [16:36] R3ku, sounds like a problem with your network and not ubuntu [16:36] LAcan: its a gnome bug - i can use KDE+fluxbox+even know without composite just fine. [16:36] socomm, ok, so use those instead [16:36] Abhijit: yes but i heard ubuntu 11.04 has got unity and i dont like so i took xubuntu [16:37] !downgrade > socomm [16:37] socomm, please see my private message [16:37] compdoc: 11 doesn't play nice with dual screens with composite turned on.

[16:40] i'm having trouble understanding what these two natd and ifw commands do so i can translate to iptables rules in ubuntu. it's just 2 lines but i've pastebin'd instead of flooding ;-) http://pastebin.com/CP0j4Kj6 [16:40] dsadssd_: it will be gnome3 [16:41] zvacet: gnome 3 ?? i thought unity [16:41] zvacet: so unity isn't a permanent thing then? [16:41] dsadssd: choice betrween unity and gnome3 [16:41] no Unity anymore in 11.10? [16:41] zvacet: that is not right. gnome3 will be available in 11.10 but the default will still be Unity [16:41] no, unity will be default in 11.10 [16:41] and gnome 2 will be gone [16:41] i hate gnome3 too [16:41] MonkeyDust: of course it will be there better I hope [16:41] and gnome 3 will possibly be available in packages [16:42] ok [16:42] gnome 2 will be completely gone, for sure [16:42] no more classic [16:42] yes [16:42] shame [16:42] thats my problem !!!! [16:42] dsadssd: if you just came here to rant, you're in the wrong channel. [16:42] e [16:42] IdleOne: maybe my answer was not straight but I know it will be unity in 11.10 [16:43] boo [16:43] it's probably not possible to co-maintain gnome 3 and gnome 2, and if it were, it'd be pretty massive [16:43] gnome 3 has a gnome 2 fallback though [16:43] i said that all the time [16:43] but nobody said that [16:43] guys I have a weird bug when using RDP.. sometimes my terminal windows will like.. lose a color?.. like all the text of one color (white) will disappear or be the same as the background color? ocean jrib [16:43] this is only what i read though, i've not used gnome 3 [16:44] what do you use tensorpudding [16:44] unity, ofc [16:44] ok [16:44] looking at the gnome 3 website, it looks EXACTLY like Unity [16:47] can anyone tell me is the default directory structure in Natty changed? [16:48] muneeb: what do you mean? [16:48] muneeb: like are the basic files in the same general places? [16:49] Samo502, i'm trying to install one of printer drivers which used to get install.. but in Natty it's giving me error as libc6 not found [16:49] Samo502, but it's there [16:50] Samo502, scangearmp-mx320series:i386 depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1). [16:50] muneeb: have you tried reinstalling it(if possible, i've never heard of libc6) [16:51] hello everyone! i just have a problem with a reverse proxy. I edited my host file to containe the ip adresses of the servers within my lan and i created a ProxyPassReverse and a Proxy pass entry in my apache2.conf. When i try to access mu wesite or subdomain (webmail|) it says "You don't have permission to access / on this server." [16:51] hi ppl [16:52] Got an md question. An installer I used included the thumb drive I was installing from as a member of an md raid1 array (well, three on them). I've 'removed' the USB drive from the array, but its remnants are still in the mdadm.conf file. Can I just edit the mdadm.conf file and reboot and the drive will be gone or do I need to issue a command or two? [16:52] The mdadm.conf file uses 'DEVICE partitions' rather than listing each device. [16:52] Samo502, i tried.. but it's not getting installed.. but when i upgraded through Net from 10.10 to 11.04 it worked.. but i messed up yesterday and had to install from CD.. now it's not getting installed [16:52] Q: this is happening lots of times. I finished installing a app trough ubuntu software center and the app doesnt show up on Applications menu. Not even in menu options (sometimes I just go there and find new apps, but no in this case). The App is called VIM. Is there something I can do ? Thakns [16:53] muneeb: was it a full reinstall like uninstall then purge and reinstall? [16:53] muneeb: so that is not just that package do you have problems install anything else [16:53] Shwaiil: run it on terminal [16:54] Samo502, it's not in Repo. so i have to manually install that package for printer [16:54] zvacet, no.. i don't have problem installing from repos [16:54] Shwaiil: vim is terminal command [16:54] Shwaiil: vim is a terminal command [16:54] MonkeyDust, i've installed gVim [16:54] xangua, tks for looking [16:55] muneeb: past that i dunno, i've never had to do anything like that [16:55] muneeb: libc6 is in synaptic I just checked [16:56] zvacet, i have it installed.. but it's not finding it.. the deb package i want to install [16:56] I have a machine here. nobilis laptop. When I boot Ubuntu 10.04 on it the system load is over 1 and things are generally unresponsive. windows xp works fine on it. Ideas? [16:56] edbian: does the machine meet ubuntu's system requirements? [16:57] Samo502, yeah def [16:57] what system for produtive use for me ? [16:57] Samo502, pentium 4, 1 Gb of ram [16:57] muneeb: this is just a guess but maybe you need libc6-dev [16:57] edbian: also if it's a livecd that could cause similar issues [16:58] Samo502, not a live CD [16:58] what system for produtive use for me ? [16:58] Samo502, well, booting the live CD right now. It doesn't seem slower than normal right now. It's still at the loading screen [16:58] zvacet, i have it that too [16:58] edbian, how does a live cd run? [16:58] nit-wit, so far so good [16:58] still at the loading screen [16:58] what system for produtive use for me ? [16:59] edbian: my reason for asking is, if i'm not mistaken livecds load things into RAM instead of the HDD [16:59] i need some help setting up a bzr server on a remote machine...where should i go? [16:59] zvacet, plus i have ia32-libs.. which gives me libc6-i386 [16:59] can we boot dsadssd ... hes not asking anything useful [16:59] edbian: but if a livecd shows similar behaviour it can give a few ideas [16:59] Samo502, yeah. I'm waiting for it [16:59] muneeb : in terminal sudo dpkg -i do you get any errors and witch ones [16:59] edbian, the boot Ubuntu=install that is unresponsive correct? [17:00] nit-wit: you're correct [17:00] nit-wit, the installed ubuntu yes [17:00] it doesn't boot slow [17:00] zvacet, just a sec i'll paste it [17:00] It is slow / unreponsive after it's started [17:00] for example, the wired mouse no longer works [17:00] and typing things at the keyboard freaks after I've pressed one button [17:00] zvacet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/607453/ [17:01] I switched to tty1 and it said 'system log surpressed due to load over 1' [17:01] edbian, hard to say but I have had bad installs hardly ever though, hope you get it figured out.;) [17:01] zvacet, that used to work on 10.10 [17:01] nit-wit, last time I booted the machine it was fine but that was 3 months ago [17:01] how do i kill a xserver running on ctrl-alt-f8 [17:01] hard to say for me anyway.;) [17:02] muneeb: sudo dpkg --configure -a [17:02] edbian, so this is not a fresh installl it ran okay before? [17:02] edbian: i'm stumped as well, because it sounds like an issue with not good enough hardware but that doesn't seem to be the case, maybe you have something running on startup eating tons of memory? [17:02] hello help aicrack please [17:02] TiCaf, not really a channel topic but [17:02] nit-wit, yes [17:02] ok [17:03] how do i kill a xserver running on ctrl-alt-f8? [17:03] I'm thinking the hardware is going [17:03] ankit, killall Xorg [17:03] i have two running,i want kill one [17:03] ankit, oh, that makes it harder [17:03] zvacet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/607454/ [17:03] ankit, look in ps -e and kill the one with the higher pid [17:03] zvacet, now what [17:04] TiCaf, not trying to stop you just preparing you for a official ubbotu warning you never know [17:04] nit-wit: Sorry I didn't think of that nick first. :-( [17:04] when I open any video my session logout !!!! [17:04] muneeb: did you checked (in synaptic or elsewhere) if you have those dependencies installed if not install them [17:04] I love it... I know, OT. [17:05] Sidewinder1, I thought knit-wit a bit to self aggrandizing, this one is more accurate.;) [17:05] :-) [17:05] I'm only funny in my own mind, [17:05] zvacet, but why it's showing error for libc6, libgimp2 , ibstdc++6 i have checked it i have those [17:06] My advice is worth exactly what I charge for it. [17:06] I can not run Evolution setup on my netbook. I can not see the buttons, they are off the screen and maximizing the window results in the window moving up and down whenever I click on a button. I am going insane. What is the solutino? [17:06] muneeb: I really don´t know :( [17:07] zvacet, okay.. let it be.. i'll reinstall 10.10 then :( [17:07] edbian, thanks dude [17:07] muneeb: I have no experience with 64 bit ubuntu [17:08] Anybody? [17:08] anybody give an Idea to log connectivity failure with single webserver placed at remote location? I need lightweight. Bash or perl script is preferable [17:08] zvacet, np.. thanks for trying to help me though.. [17:09] hi [17:09] hehe [17:09] LarsTorbenK, whats up [17:09] all right ;D [17:09] :D [17:09] muneeb: I´m sure you will find 64 users here and get help you need :) [17:10] LarsTorbenK, are you giggling in anticipation.;) [17:10] munbee: whats wrong [17:10] anticipation ?

[17:32] can some one help me with screen display brightness issue [17:32] @ lofde, also, per custom, never come in saying you have a problem, tell people the issue [17:32] i bind the directory /var/www to /home/user/www [17:33] praveen: yeah [17:33] anyone using Giver here ?i have some trouble with it [17:33] my pc is a bit trashed and some files are modified by me and so on and i have two desktop environments [17:33] angheloko, Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" is there [17:33] the /var/www is chown to the user.. and the file per are set to 777 [17:33] should i reinstall it ? [17:33] LarsTorbenK, you're not the real LarsTorben, you're a troll so go somewhere else [17:33] and i ftp... and i cannot delete a file ... 550 permission denied [17:33] ugh... fluxbox looks great [17:33] mathews: I'm unable to reduce the screen brightness ... using the fn+f7 and fn+f8 key ... === mattypants` is now known as mattypants [17:33] @ lofde, so you want another user to be able to be root and access files through ftp and change them? Bad idea. [17:33] @mattypants ok.. go to /usr/share/doc.. there should be a symlink to phpmyadmin in there [17:34] hi friends, need a help on using 'wine' [17:34] @ lofde, i'm pretty sure ftp is intended mainly for read only use anyways [17:34] praveen: u select the keyboard from application and select the particular brand of ur keyboard [17:34] androidbruce, i believe you can if you run the uninstall for each program under wine [17:35] praveen: keyboard/layouts/keyboard model [17:35] NOBODY !! [17:35] helps me [17:35] why [17:35] y [17:35] LarsTorbenK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:35] @ lofde, what you might want to do is use openssh. Now, you're going to have to lock ssh like hanibal lecture, but it will allow you to have other users access the fs securely and as root [17:36] done ... [17:36] LarsTorbenK: explain ur problems in a manner somebody could understand [17:36] angheloko, there a phpmyadmin folder in there, I dont see a symlink though [17:36] but no change ... When I press the fn+f7 to reduce the brightness, I get the indication of brightness reduction .. but nothing happens ... [17:36] @ lofde, anything else? [17:37] @mattypants hmm.. go to /etc/apache2/conf.d [17:37] mathews my question is should i reinstall my pc [17:37] how do I remove stuff from the top left corner in unity? [17:37] I tried even with the power management ... no luck there to [17:37] @mattypants there should be conf file there for phpmyadmin [17:37] hey, how do I start on a audio networking protocol? Offhand, I think that I'm thinking of something at level 2 of the OSI model...I'll double check here while waiting. [17:37] praveen: could u see the model of ur keyboard in it [17:37] LarsTorbenK, what's wrong with the present installation? [17:38] anadon ... i have set the user up a 'admin' user the folder /var/www i did a chown from root to the user [17:38] sa i already said, it works, but it is bit trashed and i modified some files and so on there are two desktop enviromments [17:38] environments [17:38] angheloko, not in /etc/apache2/conf.d [17:38] LarsTorbenK: we dont know what release u installed [17:38] natty ubuntu [17:38] is it possible to add thunderbird to the notification area (tray icon) in unity? I mean I'm not getting any notifications about new messages and such, with ubuntu classic I could see the tray icon in the notification area and using plugins I could see the number of unread messages [17:38] yeah [17:38] this system i am not super worried about security... [17:38] i want the ftp user to have rights to upload and write etc [17:39] full permissions [17:39] praveen: run the additional drivers and install any recommended and try [17:39] @mattypants ok.. symlink /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf to /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [17:40] LarsTorbenK: currently what problem u facing? [17:40] @mattypants assuming u have /etc/phpmyadmin [17:40] Lofde_, ssh is till your best bet it uses sftp between pcs , and copy with scp [17:40] mathews: sa i already said, it works, but it is bit trashed and i modified some files and so on there are two desktop environments [17:40] angheloko, I do, yes [17:40] Lofde, ftp does not ever allow for uploading data or changing data [17:40] angheloko, ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [17:40] correct? [17:41] hey [17:41] Lofde, ftp only allows clients to download [17:41] mathews: i have to say, i need a poductive system. if have got 2 gb of rams and intel dual core e5500 [17:41] LarsTorbenK: the desktop u can change by log out and login after selecting the desired desktop from the bottom pop up menu [17:41] @mattypants yes [17:41] angheloko, the @ doesn't highlight nicks , just type the nick to highlight [17:41] this must not be the ftp i remember then heh [17:41] guys [17:41] since when did ftp go soft :( [17:41] angheloko, permission denied [17:41] hi [17:41] mattypants sorry.. try sudo? [17:41] and dolls [17:41] since i upgraded to natty narwhal any time i try to open my music,doc,video, ect... folders it just pops up and says "could not create the archive, archive type not supported" can someone help me? please [17:41] is it possible to set an external static ip in ubuntu or can that only be done by my isp [17:41] BluesKaj, thanks for the tip [17:41] angheloko, k [17:41] LarsTorbenK: what desktop u installed? gnome 3? [17:42] BluesKaj, do you have a good walkthrough on that [17:42] Lofde, Use ssh or do it yourself, but never have I known ftp to allow uploading. [17:42] mathews: first i ubuntu 11.04 [17:42] mathews: then xfce [17:42] rozander1: you need the static ip given to you from isp, then assign it to a box [17:42] ftp is very insecure , it transmits pws in text form [17:42] mattypants then do a service apache2 restart [17:42] hi all, I am having problems working out how to use my hdmi port on my natty laptop. I am using fglrx atm. | VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9488 [17:42] Lofde_, hang on , I'll get the URL [17:42] mathews: maybe i clean install ? [17:43] angheloko, restarted, will check url now [17:43] so never ever transmit sensitive information, like your grocery list, over ftp [17:43] anyone using Giver here ?i have some trouble with it [17:43] BluesKaj, yes the transmissions are not secure.. security isnt a big issue for this project ...but i will try to do it the openssh way :) [17:43] anadon, FTP will allow uploading, to the best of my knowlege, it's all in the configuration of the server... [17:43] LarsTorbenK: u can uninstall the desktop by terminal [17:43] So... after I renamed everything X related in 11.04 and still saw some gfx stuff running (sampling my display useless) i am asking myself whats the first thing being loaded which activates gfx mode (i disabled grub gfx, kms and thus kernel splash, and renamed X) - whats left? [17:43] mathews: yes but some /usr/share/icons wrong [17:43] mathews: i tried to restore it, it worked too, but am not sure [17:43] Lofde_, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-openssh-server-installation-and-configuration/ [17:43] e [17:44] ftp you can upload download rename delete... pretty much every permission except execute [17:44] angheloko, that worked :) shouldnt that have been done automatically when I installed phpmyadmin? [17:44] mattypants, great! not sure why it didn't ... i don't remember doing this step before.. [17:45] okay how can I force my netbook to go above it's listed recommended resolution of 1024x600 [17:45] mathews: i tried to restore it, it worked too, but am not sure [17:45] having some archive issues since i switched to n.narwhal. not good at this stuff just yet and i need help [17:45] sidewinder1: Since when? Well, if it does, it does. Just that I've never ever seen it, and wikipedia didn't mention it. [17:45] my show desktop icon (bottom left corner) disappeared, hoe to show it again? [17:45] mathews: i asked, should i clean install, keep as it is [17:45] heep as it now [17:46] hi, where i can find list of apps versions from Ubuntu 10.04.2? [17:46] keep as is now [17:46] Satan_Inside, dpkg -a [17:46] !panels | magepsycho [17:46] so all I had to do was make a symlink fromphpmyadmin's apache.conf to apache2/conf.d' phpmyadmin [17:46] magepsycho: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:46] LarsTorbenK: in the internet... i dont have 10.04.2 [17:47] mattypants, pretty much.. i'd avoid symlink-ing to /var/www and stick to virtual dirs instead [17:47] hey ubottu .. can you paste the valid command? [17:47] LarsTorbenK: if u face so much problem or u confused and no data loss then clean install is recommended [17:47] Satan_Inside, why is its important to now [17:47] mathews: thanks, last question. [17:47] sftp and ssh seem to work just as well.. thanks all [17:48] magepsycho, ubottu is a bot. [17:48] LarsTorbenK: becouse i need to know what wersion of apps are in 10.04.2 [17:48] Satan_Inside, apps list is same as 10.04 [17:48] angheloko, and symlinking to /var/www is what I did originally, correct? [17:48] mathews: for productive use, should i take, xubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu 10.04 or ubuntu 10.04 [17:48] mattypants, from what i recall, yes, u mentioned that [17:48] angheloko, very new linux user here [17:48] LarsTorbenK: I would recommend Ubuntu 10.04 [17:48] ok ;D [17:48] angheloko, but I think you knew that ;) [17:49] OerHeks: i know, but some apps are updated to new wersions and i must know for what versions [17:49] mathews: i prefer gnome 2. [17:49] Satan_Inside: latest version of apps before 2010 april [17:49] angheloko, thanks so much for the help, much appreciated! [17:49] mattypants, no prob [17:49] okay how can I force my netbook to go above it's listed recommended resolution of 1024x600? [17:49] mathews: but it is no longer supported i would change to xfce [17:49] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:49] [17:49] i am confused with the command [17:50] rcmaehl: connect to an external and larger screen [17:50] LarsTorbenK: I am not familiar with xfce so I cant recommend it [17:50] xangua: ... other than that I was able to force it to 1280x1024 on windows [17:51] Hello everybody. i have a issue: i have a ubuntu 11.04 on my acer aspire 4736z. but somehow the monitor of my laptop is not showing. im here now because im conected by HDMI with my samsung tv. The monitor is not dead because when im on windows the monitor is fine. can any1 help me? [17:51] it would be nice if there was a way to make the cli semi-transparent [17:51] ygor: does the failsafe mode show something? [17:51] LarsTorbenK: u can install gnome 3 too but will crash unity [17:51] ygor: have you tried recoevery mode? [17:53] rcmaeh1: no i tryed reinstalling with my usb drive, but everytime ubuntu starts, the monitor go black... and its only black when ubuntu starts...just after boot screen [17:53] prx: i did not try failsafe ... [17:53] ygor: did u tried live session === Guest84323 is now known as ssfdre38 [17:54] ygor, I am still trying to get my HDMI port to work! :) [17:54] ssfdre38: ohai [17:54] mathews: yes...i dont know if its a problem with this..because some configs are saved everyime i use the live session from the usb drive [17:54] Hello [17:54] hey [17:54] i mean, even with the cd, or with the usb drive, my screen go black when ubuntu starts to boot... [17:55] I'm planning to upgrade from alternate install CD...I had read on forums that systems tend to screw up when upgrading from ubuntu alternate CD...Is that right? [17:55] ygor: how u created the USB [17:56] but i can see, when i disconect HDMI that things are on screen, but too dark to see... [17:56] ygor: try adjusting the brightness [17:56] Anyone? [17:56] AmberJ: what is the issue? [17:57] This is ubuntu 10.10 install and I'm planning to upgrade to 11.04 using alternate CD [17:57] mathews: i burn the ubuntu 11.04 image into a cd... then using the CD live i created the usb drive by the ubuntu tool itself [17:57] AmberJ: I can help :-) [17:57] ygor: good,the usb is fresh,right? [17:57] rcmaeh1: yeah i tryed this..but its not a bright issue.. lokks too too dark to see. [17:57] ygor: you can also use unetbootin [17:57] Captainkrtek, didnt upgraded yet....I read on forums that it tends to be weird when upgrading using alternate install...Is that right? [17:57] AmberJ: it can be, but it should work [17:57] I have problem installing Haskell-platform in my Kubuntu 11.04 http://paste.kde.org/67615/ any help ? [17:58] captainkrtek: yeah but some how did not work. [17:58] mathews: fresh yep. [17:58] ygor: odd [17:58] ygor: i host a mirror if you need to DL http://mirror.slashdev.org/ubuntu [17:58] does sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart do the same thing as sudo service apache2 restart ? [17:58] mattypants: yes [17:58] Captainkrtek, This 10.10 install had repositories from other distros (especially linux mint and pinguyOS)... So, it has bunchload of software installed which is not in official ubuntu repos....Does this needs any special consideration? [17:58] mattypants: use the latter [17:58] mathews: but weird becase when i boot from the usb drive, after leting my laptop off for a while, configurations like wifi network are still saved.. [17:59] Captainkrtek, k, ty [17:59] AmberJ: maybe later on [17:59] AmberJ: don't mix repositories [17:59] but yeah [17:59] this could get funky [17:59] xangua, do you mean that I should comment them out in sources.list? [17:59] Ubuntufreak: can you pastebin or whatever the output of: apt-cache policy haskell-platform and: apt-cache policy ghc6 [17:59] I got to go [18:00] ygor: I am no so exp.to answer,recommend to poet in www.askubuntu.com [18:00] xangua, is there any way I can purge (uninstall) packages that are from linux mint etc ? [18:00] ygor: I meant post [18:00] AmberJ: fresh reinstall [18:01] mathews: and another weird stuff is that sometimes when i disconected the HDMI cable, sometimes my screen appears, sometimes dont..but now its common not the appear. [18:01] xangua, you mean I should reinstall ubuntu from scratch? [18:01] anyway...can be frequency of the monitor and stuff like that? [18:01] AmberJ: you could remove them in Syaptic [18:02] ygor: look any same issues in Ubuntu launchpad too [18:02] AmberJ: but I would also reccomend fresh install [18:02] why isn't 11.04 stable [18:02] mathews: ok ! thx 4 ur time buddy. (y) [18:02] rcmaehl: it is stable, just bugs still as it is very newly released [18:02] rcmaehl: because programming is hard? [18:02] Does anyone know an easy to configure piece of software that can configure a reverse proxy for sub domains ? [18:03] i can see nginx but that is too much for me :P [18:03] rcmaehl; it is a new release and need all comments and repair [18:03] quiescens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607469/ [18:03] input boxes go out, unity crashes after enabling or disabling ANY compiz option in ccsm, windows move when maximized === XLV_ is now known as XLV [18:04] I can name about 24 more [18:04] rcmaehl: file bug reports [18:04] rcmaehl: but search first [18:04] Captainkrtek: I have, and they say they're not bugs [18:04] they are >< [18:04] welcome back Captainkrtek [18:04] Captainkrtek, xangua in that case, I'll backup my data...then try upgrading...and if it fails, I'll reinstall from scratch.. Thanks :) [18:04] rcmaehl: may just be your hardware [18:04] thanks Sug [18:04] Captainkrtek: .... [18:05] rcmaehl; a release never get stable unless u report the bugs [18:05] mathews: +1 [18:05] Q: Can I see hidden files like "ls -a" does on terminal, without using terminal in graphical mode ? falder exploring ? Tks [18:05] Shwaiil: I think so... [18:05] mathews: how cna I report the bugs when all my pcs stop typing in input boxes after like every few words >< [18:06] rcmaehl: from another computer? [18:06] Shwaiil: ctrl-H should show hidden files in nautilus [18:06] quiescens: it seems to be a bug reported here bug id 742052 [18:06] I'm on ls I think, and ctrl-h is not showing the hidden files :T [18:07] I mean LTS [18:07] hi lousygarua, something we can help with?

Getting quite annoyed at having to launch my ARM 2 programming suite as sudo because otherwise it can't access the USB. [18:22] hi temp [18:22] anything we can help with [18:22] quiescens: you mean i dont need to have haskell-platform for the development and could just use ghc6 ?

[18:25] prx: no, you have to install the ssh package [18:25] Captainkrtek|brb: if this screws up my display I'm coming after you with sass [18:25] Ubuntufreak: if you want a quick and dirty solution you can technically tell apt-get to install all of those [18:25] mathews, What I mean is, it is annoying that Ubuntu dictates what programs I run can do. If I need a program to have access to my USB, I need to run it as root. [18:25] quiescens: ok, but when i try to issue the apt-get install command im faced with the dependency error === tds is now known as Guest18181 [18:26] quiescens: won't that bork my developemtn setup and any future updates ? [18:28] Ubuntufreak: well, it shouldn't break anything, and if you ever install anything that conflicts in the future it will remove them automatically, your downside is that if you had installed haskell-platform, you would have eventually been able to remove all of it by doing apt-get autoremove haskell-platform [18:30] quiescens: oh fine ! then how do i override the dependency issue in the apt-get ? [18:30] it looks like ive stopped getting messages in /var/log/messages....

[18:55] not on the cd [18:55] edgy: that's because you don't "start" iptables, iptables is just a command to set stuff in your kernel, you need to give it parameters [18:55] mamece2: by reinstalling [18:55] mamece2: clean install [18:55] LjL: what's the syntax?

[21:29] Sylvie, could be that the hdmi has dicital protection and the file you are playing is copyrighted etc etc [21:29] digital* [21:29] diskinetic, the answer is "no"; I don't have many HDMI cables laying around, and + the HDMI cable works just fine with another computer [21:30] Gnea, yeah, I have the button for it.

[21:35] Hi all, got a 10.04.2 with 20 packages updating blah blah please reboot - so I reboot and it tells me 20 packages updating blah blah , ideas ??

[21:37] It's giving you a tarball with a "standalone" firefox 4 in there [21:37] mozeee: glad it works. You would have to copy the contents of the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server. But that has to be done carefully, with the permissions etc [21:37] mozeee: while the ssh-copy-id does that all for you! [21:38] oCean: and what if i want to log in to my server with another client, my lap top for example? [21:39] mozeee: you have to repeat the process. Each client has its own keypair. [21:40] diskinetic: are you sure that you have enough diskspace on every mounted partition? [21:40] ooooooh yeah [21:40] gifured everything out [21:40] figured* [21:40] oCean: i mean what happen to that authorized_keys? does it change? or new key will add to it? [21:40] thanks guys!

[21:41] having an issue with mounting ... keep getting "buffer overflow detected" error.. any ideas on how to troubleshoot? [21:41] mozeee: ssh-copy-id will add to it. If you add it by hand, you would have to do that very carefully.

[21:43] #django [21:43] diskinetic: seems plausible - but there has to be a reason for that error - does the system still run after the failed upgrade? [21:43] guntbert: nope, unusable, forced to re-install [21:43] does someone have a way for me to create a raid5 mdadm with only 2 disks (3rd one is coming soon ;) ) [21:43] mozeee: only authorized_keys is needed now === Albanian_ is now known as Albanian [21:44] diskinetic: idea: try it in a virtual machine [21:44] guntbert: gonna try a fresh burn of 11.04, but if that doesn't work, I'm gonna stay with 10.10 until a new LSB floats by [21:45] guntbert: I have no idea how to do that [21:45] Anyone using Eclipse on 11.04?

[21:50] gmcdonald: lets move over to #ubuntu-server [21:51] Miguelpcn: you can always try installing libreoffice on windows to test if the docs are fine then make the switch to linux [21:52] pidori [21:52] hmm, I answered my own question, aptitude clean will do it for me [21:52] ThinkT510: cool.....thanks very much [21:52] I have no tty, using natty, GC: Ati x1300 [21:53] gmcdonald: I had that problem like you on a laptop at work.

I'm compiling software which depends on a library called libgvc. I've installed the package libgvc5 (which has no -dev companion) and it doesn't fulfill the dependency. What am I missing? [22:36] And same when you installed? I got that - Grub makes an error - not sure why yet - but easy to edit Grub menu [22:36] naptastic: have you verified your LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the lib you need? [22:37] yup same when I select install on hard disk [22:37] gigah, nevermind, the developer told me what it is. Graphviz and graphviz-dev... I'm going to suggest he change the line in his wscript. :-) [22:37] mayanks43: You need to edit the Grub menu - hang on I'll have a look for the help I used [22:37] naptastic: it is in libgraphviz-dev [22:37] trism, thank you!!! :-) [22:37] thnx silner [22:38] any ideas on troubleshooting dpkg seg faulting during an apt-get upgrade? [22:39] gigah, eek! that's a scary failure. Have you done memtest86? [22:39] do i have to do that from a live cd? [22:39] gigah, no, you select it from the grub menu on boot. [22:40] how do i get to grub menu again? [22:40] gigah, the bad news is you can't use your computer for a while. [22:40] gigah, when you restart your computer, the grub menu should come up before Ubuntu starts loading. [22:40] what is a program i can use to rip a dvd off of a disk that has drm on it [22:41] Vex; brasero works the drm doesn't keep you from ripping a cd [22:42] or dvd it is the playback that is affected if you burn it. [22:42] can we modify the sources.list from the command line? [22:42] wafa: yes [22:42] wafa, you want nano [22:42] nit-wit: i would just like to get the image off of the dvd so i can play it off of my computer, brasero will do that? [22:42] brasro will work [22:43] sorry firefox crashed on me as well [22:43] vex; should always had for me. [22:43] maybe it really is bad ram =-/ [22:43] anybody have a problem in firefox on ubuntu 11.04 ? === Wolf is now known as Guest86425 [22:44] i have an extension problem, i don't install any extension in 11.04 [22:44] wafa, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [22:44] cbukowski, extension?

[22:47] and sync don't work too [22:47] i'm tried delete firefox and install again but nothing changed [22:47] cbukowski, are you using FF sync [22:48] my ff version is 4.0.1 [22:48] cuband [22:48] hi all...i changed some compiz settings that caused a conflict with unity...i was able to go to classic mode, fire up ccsm and resolve the conflicts a little reconfig, and my classic now looks like unity, but logging in to 'ubuntu', it's still hosed..any suggestions? [22:48] mayanks43: This is being discussed mayanks43 http://scottiestech.info/2011/05/04/grub-problem-in-ubuntu-server-11-04-natty-narwhal/ but I can't find the solution now. I should have copied it :( Still looking....

[22:57] and after search addon and install [22:57] downloading complate but install can't [22:57] sorry about my english [22:57] cbukowski, give me one not working I will try it [22:57] cbukowski, no problem.;) [22:57] yofel [22:58] can you help me pls [22:58] adblock-plus :( [22:58] helo [22:58] cbukowski, I know that one works, are you opening FF in a other then clicking on the menu icon.

[22:59] yep i'm starting from the menu [23:00] hmmm, trying to play dvd's with totem, and it fails with "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed." [23:00] any idea's ? [23:00] wait i'll try to install from add-ons site [23:00] Hello Every one... [23:00] cbukowski, yeah that is a good idea.;) [23:01] yo guys. i compiled compat-wireless in order to get aircrack-ng working, which it does now. now, whenever i try connecting to a wifi with networkmanager or wicd, i get a kernel panic (that i don't know how to observe - i only see keyboard leds flashing). i reinstalled linux-image-`uname -r` as well as linux-firmware. what else can i try? [23:01] i have some trouble Yofel [23:01] cbukowski, if you have any failed loads sitting there they will I don't think you can overwrite them.

The Unity don't start the side bar when I logon. [23:05] ricardo_: 1) you need 3D rendering to do it. 2) If you're using Geforce FX 5***, you need to wait for a patch, it's a confirmed bug === jmcantrell is now known as Guest39050 [23:05] but how can i have it yofel? [23:05] wafa: have what? [23:06] mjrosenb: subscribe to that bug's mailing list and wait for the patch [23:06] var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:06] trism, no, go..i get what looks like unassigned variable errors in the /usr/bin/unity file...no worries, data is backed up 11.04 .iso is half d/l'd and my main computer is still running maverick neway (you can prolly guess why).. [23:06] BlouBlou: which bug? [23:06] wafa: install pastebinit, then run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and give us the link [23:06] since i have only access the the command line [23:06] wafa: to install it run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' [23:06] trism, was a valiant effort though, and i preciate it. thank you [23:07] hi ihow do i find the made of my wifi card?

[23:15] zacharyalexstern, that you have two instances of that application open.. [23:16] Cuchulainn, Really? I don't though. Must be some weird adobe air thing. [23:17] zacharyalexstern, possibly..just guessing then, but maybe one is the installer/or adobe air shell and the other the application? [23:17] kingofswords, try lspci | grep Network [23:17] Cuchulainn, No idea really, but the installer is long gone. [23:17] geus thx [23:17] zacharyalexstern, the System Monitor would tell you for sure whether there is more than one. [23:17] Cuchulainn, also when I run any AIR app, it hides the dock even if the app isn't fullscreen. It's some weird AIR thing. [23:17] found it now thou [23:17] youŕe welcome [23:18] zacharyalexstern, gotta love the ghost in the machine...it's like using windows [23:18] Cuchulainn, I actually love Windows. For some things. [23:18] What's it called when I want to see a remote computers screen directly on my desktop? [23:18] duncan-nz, remote desktop :P [23:18] duncan-nz: VNC? [23:18] Cuchulainn, I've always found Adobe software to do screwed up things. [23:18] full screen modus? [23:18] that was better way thou [23:18] zacharyalexstern, no, then other way to do it. When the x-session gets sent directly to me. [23:18] Why doesn't autokey-gdk show up in the tray in Natty Narhwal, but it did in Maverick.... [23:19] Why doesn't autokey-gdk show up in the tray in Natty Narhwal, but it did in Maverick.... [23:19] How do I set my running application to be remembered between sessions? I could do that in 10.10. [23:19] my graphic card doesnt support unity and i have no control with the mouse. how do i get rid of unity by command? can some1 help? [23:20] tgf, when you log in choose Ubuntu (classic) [23:20] tgf: try type unity --restart [23:20] i have it set to auto-login... [23:20] unity is not supporter [23:20] supported by graphic card. [23:20] zacharyalexstern, for myself, i think 'love' is prolly a little strong, but i work in a windows world..and yeah gets it pretty right, with some glaring exceptions..not to experienced with AA.. [23:20] tgf, well, unset that first. [23:20] Is there a way to open a tray application when there isn't a tray icon? [23:20] how do i do that? [23:20] i have no control [23:20] only command mode [23:21] Cuchulainn, I definitely mean love. [23:21] tgf, please try not to press return all the time. From command line? don't know sorry. [23:21] Cuchulainn, From the corporate perspective. I always tell people to buy mac for home, windows for work. [23:21] Anyway this is offtopic. [23:21] i brought root1 in here since this channel is usually really overflooded... and root1 is a kindle [23:21] zacharyalexstern, you are free to elaborate, if you wanna gush, i'm not a hater of their products, just their practices.. [23:22] Why doesn't autokey-gdk show up in the tray in Natty Narhwal, but it did in Maverick.... [23:22] Cuchulainn, I'm indifferent to their practices. I use Ubuntu because I like Ubuntu, not because I care about FLOSS or anything like that. [23:22] Cuchulainn, guys, this is not a general chat channel. [23:22] zacharyalexstern, i do the same, although for the more astute, i point them towards a linux solution.. [23:22] . [23:22] Anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to remember my running applications between sessions? [23:22] duncan-nz, sorry...it just became that ...i'll rein it in [23:23] Cuchulainn, it happens. But this is a busy channel with people trying to get help. [23:24] duncan-nz, of course you're right...again, apologies [23:25] I created a new partition on my only hard drive. My /home has grown too small and I want to transfer what's on it onto the new partition. The problem is that I can't copy paste onto the new partition. [23:25] Cuchulainn, do you know how to run a remote machines x-session on this machine? Or even what that's called so I can find the solution myself? [23:25] sburwood1, why not? [23:25] What do I need to do to get the data from /home into a safe place while I resize the partition [23:25] Is there a way to tune-down the desktop effects in Unity? Like lower the quality of the rendering or something? My widdle netbook can't handle it well. [23:26] sburwood1: copy it to an external drive? [23:26] zacharyalexstern, not that I know of. you could try unity-2d instead. but it's missing some important functionality if you ask me. [23:26] duncan-nz, err...solution to what? [23:27] duncan-nz, Yeah I agree. I already tried Unity-2d, I don't love it. [23:27] Cuchulainn, to how to run a remote machines x-session on this machine, or even just what that's called. [23:27] th0r: I don't have an external drive. I have a 250GB drive. Had prepared a 25 GB partition for / and another for /home. The rest is free unallocated space [23:27] internal [23:28] sburwood1, so before you began, everything was on a single partition mounted at / ? [23:28] Hey. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:28] sburwood1, you could create a partition at the very end of the disk for temporary storage. Once you're finished delete it and grow the last partition to fill it. But it must be the last partition. [23:28] Anyone have a tutorial on how to back up Ubuntu, format HDD (which currently has Windows 7 in the first partition of the HDD), and re-install backed up Ubuntu? I'd like to get rid of windows. [23:29] I have to say, Ubuntu 11.04 is very nice so far! Just fix a way to configure the launcher a tad more and I'm happy [23:29] blargg: No, I had one partition /sda1 for / and /sda2 for /home [23:29] After having a serious crash, I am now on Ubuntu LiveCD. I am trying to mount the drive that crashed but I am getting DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending - Anyone know anything? Tried google without much luck [23:29] duncan-nz: Why must it be the last partition? [23:29] illmortal, you just need a copy of your /home directory. Once ubuntu is installed again. drop it in again with a live cd. [23:29] sburwood1, and /sda2 became too full, so you created a third partition and want to move the contents of /home to it? [23:30] illmortal backup / but exclude some drives ie - -exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/sys / [23:30] duncan-nz and I won't need to re-install drivers for my video card and other applications? [23:30] sburwood1, otherwise grub can get confused about where you're partitions are. if the fifths partition suddenly becomes the fourth... I think that problem has been solved, but I'm not sure. [23:31] sburwood1: why not leave it as is and use the remaining space as a third partition? You could mount it to /home/data or something like that [23:31] duncan-nz: I used gparted to create a partition for data ... I left 25 GB space between /sda3 and /sda2 so I had space to expand /sda2 (home) from 25 to 50 GB [23:31] illmortal, try clonezilla from USB drive, works fine for me: http://clonezilla.org/ [23:31] illmortal, how can you re-install without re-installing? [23:31] sburwood1: that should have been /home/user/data [23:31] sburwood1, one moment. [23:32] duncan-nz, sounds like illmortal just wants to move his Ubuntu partition to the beginning of the drive, where his Windows one is currently. [23:32] duncan-nz, I simply want to back up an image of what I currently have. That way after I re-install Ubuntu on my drive.. I just have to "restore" my backed up image. [23:32] ya blargg.. I'm getting rid of windows. [23:32] Does GRUB still use relative partition paths? Or does it use UUIDs? [23:32] th0r: My idea is to save critical data on a partition long enough to make sure I don't lose anything while I resize /home [23:32] th0r, is just correcting what you wrote. [23:33] sburwood1, yeah, so your third partition is just temporary while you resize /home. [23:33] th0r: Because I get messages that there is only 500 mb space left on /home [23:33] I mean sburwood1, th0r is just correcting what you wrote. [23:33] blargg: But I need room between /home and the other partition for expansion [23:33] sburwood1: you could mount the third partition inside /home...for instance, if it is your photos that are taking all the space you could mount the third partition as /home/user/photo [23:34] blargg, do you know if grub still loses track of partitions if they switch places? [23:34] sburwood1: you could mount it to a temp location until you copied all the data, then make an entry in /etc/fstab to put it in the right place from then on [23:34] sburwood1, I'm no expert, but why would grub need to know about /home? [23:34] th0r, that doesn't work. You get a recurrin copy routine! [23:34] duncan-nz: nope...I have done it. [23:35] Anyone got any tips for other irc-clients than xchat? Heard something about some called iirc or something like that? [23:35] blargg: I'm no expert at all. I'm on the learning curve ... and it's getting steep for me ... [23:35] After having a serious crash, I am now on Ubuntu LiveCD. I am trying to mount the drive that crashed but I am getting DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending - Anyone know anything? Tried google without much luck [23:35] Can I just delete the Windows partition and expand my Ubuntu's partition onto where the windows partition was without having any problems? [23:35] duncan-nz: you need to put the third partition in a temp location, mount it to /media/temp for instance. Then do the copy, then delete /home/user/photo, then mount the third partition to /home/user/photo [23:35] th0r, oh so you take a copy of everything except the mount directory - I get it. But that is not a backup. [23:35] Celphish: perhaps you mean irssi? [23:36] duncan-nz: no it isn't...but he wants to add the free space to home. I was just pointing out you don't need to resize the partition to effectively add the free space to /home/user [23:36] sburwood1, if you're unsure just borrow a removable disc from a friend for a half hour. [23:36] rww, I don't know, a colleague said something about a client he recommended, but can't remember which.. It almost looks like a terminal, very simplified chat-gui [23:36] I think that I'm just going to try to backup with Nepomuk [23:36] @illmortal, yes you can using gparted but as always, do a backup first [23:37] Celphish, that irssi for sure. [23:37] How do I go about restoring my back up in case something goes wrong though? o.O; [23:37] duncan-nz, oh, is it good? Secure and so on? and not too hard to configure for a nub used to windows? =) [23:37] illmortal, use a different physical disc. [23:37] duncan-nz: Here in Belgium, it's hard to find, someone who'll lend you a disc ... for a second, let alone a half an hour [23:37] is there a way to get google talk to work in ubuntu? i mean so i can make and receive calls with my headset? [23:38] duncan-nz: Unless they ask for money in exchange [23:38] duncan-nz so when I create a back up.. it'll become a file that I just simply double-click for it to restore itself? [23:38] illmortal, to backup: tar cvpzf /home/user/backupfile.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/sys / [23:38] sburwood1, oh, here in Denmark it's no problem, maybe you don't have enough nerdy friends? [23:38] anyway, I'm getting tired, so I'll think about the problem and find a solution [23:38] illmortal to restore tar xvpfz backupfile.tgz -C / [23:38] ok angheloko [23:39] gonna write that out :D [23:39] is there any documentation for unity? [23:39] illmortal, no no. just a directory full of the files you put there. this is a manual backup i'm talking about. [23:39] anyone know what i mean? google calls? [23:39] illmortal, if u want a gui there's some out there like grsync or simple backup [23:39] en1gma, be patient please. [23:40] duncan-nz: I don't have that many nerdy friends, but I try to learn so as to not need them, as nothing is given here for free. Of course, in the church where I go, things are different, but.... [23:40] ok [23:40] anyway, good night [23:40] and thanks everyone [23:40] illmortal, without using a seperate disc you are not really making a backup, just two copies of the same data. If the disc dies so does your data. [23:41] * Guest20966 should probably find a better way to phrase that question [23:41] Hey im trying to install ubuntu on the same partition as windows, is this doable? [23:41] ShaunDreclin: sure you can use wubi [23:41] ShaunDreclin, no. that will kill windows. [23:41] ya I have a 2nd physical disk which I used for backing up Windows only... but I no longer want to use windows.. so I'll just make that drive my backup for Ubuntu [23:41] ShaunDreclin: alternatively,resize the NTFS and you can install a true install [23:41] ShaunDreclin, he's right. forgot that. [23:41] i have a folder with files from different users, let's say i need to change the ownership of files of monica to sandra, but let the other file's folder's ownership intact... is there a command for that? [23:42] illmortal, then you'll have to update the command that i gave you... your backup file should reside in your spare partition [23:42] cablop: sudo chown -R sandra:sandra foldername [23:42] cablop, some combination of find and exec should work [23:42] Im worried about re-partitioning cause i dont want to lose any data [23:42] ShaunDreclin, you get that option when you install Ubuntu. I think it's called 'resize windows to make space for ubuntu' [23:42] Is it possible to resize it without losing anything [23:42] ShaunDreclin: your backups will cover that for you [23:42] find and exec... i thought thet, but dunno how to use that find command enough for that [23:42] Ahh okay ill look for that [23:43] ShaunDreclin, defrag your windows first before you resize it [23:43] ShaunDreclin: yes, if you use win7 it can resize its own partitions [23:43] Winxp :p [23:43] escott: ah! find will only exec if i got the right file, right? [23:43] angheloko, good point! [23:43] ShaunDreclin: then you will use the Ubuntu CD to resize [23:43] cablop: try sudo find /path/to/folder -user monica -exec chown sandra {}\; [23:44] cablop, yes. another approach would be to su to sandra and then execute the chown as sandra, assuming that sandra can't chant tom's file ownership [23:44] After having a serious crash, I am now on Ubuntu LiveCD. I am trying to mount the drive that crashed but I am getting DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending - Anyone know anything? Tried google without much luck [23:44] ShaunDreclin, I find the defragmenter from the people who make ccleaner to be much more thorough than the windows one. [23:45] Alright ill run that then the ubuntu installer can resize my ntfs drive? [23:45] i love how man find | grep owner doesn't bring up the -user or -uid options.. [23:45] How do I fetch an x-session on a different computer? [23:45] ShaunDreclin, yes. the defragmenting this just makes it work faster. [23:45] escott: yes i wanted to try that, but i cannot ensure sandra is able to change monica's files [23:46] Ahh alright, been ages since i defragged anyway [23:46] rww will it work by using uids and gids? [23:46] cablop, yeah that would be the concern... but rww knows the correct incantation above [23:46] can ubuntu/linux make regular phone calls like google chrome can when google video and voice and google talk are installed? if you dont know what i mean just let me know and i can explain better [23:46] escott: hehe, incantation is the right word [23:46] cablop, there is a -uid option, and probably a -gid option see man find [23:46] en1gma: you can voice chat with gtalk as far as I am aware [23:47] en1gma: I hate google chrome [23:47] en1gma, that would be VOIP you're talking about. Yes, ekiga can do that with a voip account. ymmv [23:47] hmmm i must be missing how to do it [23:47] hi I just wondering if someone in the linux specifically ubuntu community accomplish on locking the mouse pad built in in the laptop just like in the windows where you can Fn+lock if im not using it and using a usb mouse instead. mine is an asus lapto [23:47] en1gma: google chrome is so gay for me [23:47] lol, what a m,acho [23:47] * ActionParsnip uses Chromium daily build. Its sweeeet [23:47] i think google account sip or voip info is hard to get i think [23:47] GrouchySmurf, watch your language [23:47] i mean it dont work unless your in chrome i think [23:47] magellan, you can disable stuff with xinput [23:47] en1gma: Firefox roolz [23:48] en1gma, enigma with an account from diamondcard works fine. [23:48] en1gma: afaik you can by using Empathy [23:48] firefox dont work with google talk free voip i think [23:48] escott, can explain further the xinput..no idea about it..thanks for the response [23:48] cablop i read something about that a min ago....think i gonna reboot into 11.04 and try it [23:49] never tried empathy b4 [23:49] by the way i hate Empathy... to nazi for my taste [23:49] *too [23:49] rebooting brb [23:49] like nowadays gnome|ubuntu policies :P [23:49] magellan, so xinput list will show all your devices [23:49] here we go - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law lol [23:50] magellan, and then supposedly you can set the "Device Enabled" property to 0 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967120 [23:52] I have ubuntu 8.3 32bit on a CD... how long ago did that come out?
