[00:00] HOLA [00:00] I'm trying to run a precompiled 32-bit program, but I'm missing a few shared object files. How can I find out what packages to install? === Braiam-away is now known as Braiam [00:00] sex chanel? [00:00] pfifo: thanks. stick it in etc/X11? InputDevices section only, then restart X, should override auto discovery of input devices is what you're saying, correct? [00:00] Corollax, `ldd /path/to/program` [00:00] I have the names of the shared object files [00:01] I need to know what packages to install. [00:01] quit [00:01] As I am running a 64-bit distro, the necessary 32-bit libraries do not appear to be in my repository [00:01] what is the easiest to use video converter to mkv- avi or mp4 -avi [00:01] beefman, youll probbally need to write the whole /etx/X11/xorg.conf, but the nice thing is the config utility is much better. [00:02] how do i grab what the running setup would look like, if it were in an xorg.conf? or how do i run the auto config utility? [00:02] hey, I want to update to oneiric. update-manager doesn't offer it to me (tested with -d switch), is there any way to do it manually? [00:03] Corollax, ohh you are trying to get 32 bit libs, I see, I copy them from a 32 bit install/livecd. there are not many optins for getting 32 bit libs on 64 aside from what ubuntu devs consider useful [00:03] it seems my internal SD card reader has not been recognized on my clean install of 10.04 on my netbook (AOD255). Any ideas on where to start going about fixing that? [00:03] beefman, Xorg -configure [00:03] The 32-bit libraries I need are the wxwidgets libraries [00:03] I doubt they'd be on the liveCD =\ [00:04] ok ty [00:04] will give it a shot [00:04] Corollax, apt-get is on the livecd [00:04] hey if its ok with you i can give u a xorg.cong file for 1024x768 [00:04] daniel_, A lot of people go for WinFF [00:04] What's apt-get being on the liveCD got to do with anything? =\ [00:05] I don't need apt-get. I need the 32-bit wxwidgets libraries. [00:06] Corollax, boot a 32bit livecd, install wxwidgets in the live enviroment, mount your hard drive, and then copy the libs you need to /usr/lib32 [00:06] it seems my internal SD card reader has not been recognized on my clean install of 10.04 on my netbook (AOD255). Any ideas on where to start going about fixing that? [00:06] seriously? eww. [00:06] what's the damn holdup with ubuntu 10.04LTS being broken under esxi 4.1 [00:06] what is the easiest to use video converter to mkv- avi or mp4 -avi [00:07] ububuntu [00:07] Corollax, the proper way would be to learn to build multilibs, but thats much more involved [00:07] Corollax, this maybe a help http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Installing_and_configuring_under_Ubuntu [00:07] ubuntu won't load :/ (version 11.04) the error is: unable to find the persisten home medium [00:07] ATTENTION ALL: Have if left to break the balls with the repositories and leave it the fuck up normal like before ...

[00:08] silner, is it easy to use cause im stupid with this stuff [00:11] daniel_, easy is pretty relative, I consider ffmpeg on the command line easy where as most people would not. Theres only one way to find out and thats to install and try [00:12] With nslookup, digg and host commands. which performs the quickest lookup or is lightweight? I'd like to use the tool that causes the lowest amount load while doing hundreds of queries per second [00:12] daniel_, I'm glad pfifo came in their. I never know what to say when people ask me that question :) [00:12] nslookup [00:13] nslook won't be available in the future [00:13] daniel_, pfifo WinFF is really just a GUI for ffmpeg - it lacks some of the deatures but it has the ones most people want [00:14] Superstar: then you have your own reply [00:14] silner, yeah, the FF kinda hinted that [00:14] alright thanks everyone :D [00:14] I was just saying but that still leaves 2 tools remaining [00:15] Superstar, `time { nslookup google.com; }` same with the other 2 [00:16] i need some help in troubleshooting sound issues [00:16] is this the right forum? [00:16] Superstar: it depends on what info you wanna get... of course, digg is more verbose than nslookup [00:17] why is everything repeating 4 times on my client? [00:17] Superstar: if nslookup doesn't solve your problems, try with host [00:17] pfifo thanks bro i was just looking how to do something like that. appreciate it :) [00:17] \olo [00:17] fk .. [00:17] card reader not identified after 10.04 install on netbook. Where should I start looking to fix?

I want to transfer all .deb files to a USB stick an then install them on the NEW unbuntu fresh install [00:20] I have uninstalled SAMBA but there are many files / folders left over and wondered if I could just rm and rmdir them? [00:20] silner, hey how do i make it work i put the mkv through the add button then i put convert to avi device present ms compatible avi and hit the convert button it opens the terminal say hit enter i do then it closes [00:21] I think Im experianceing this same issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435968&page=2 the last post in the thread reports a blackscreen with cursor I have tne nounting none error is there any further info on this situation [00:22] how do i put my pc in powersave mode? i used to do that with CPU Freq Scaling Applet in 10.10 [00:22] daniel_, You have to install some codecs I think - do you have the medibuntu repo installed? [00:23] hormiga, their in /var/cache/apt [00:23] silner, how wourld i install that [00:23] hormiga: /var/cache/apt/archives [00:24] pfifo, ActionParsnip Thanx!!

[00:34] Sardog, try moving it to a backup file first :-) [00:34] Yeah [00:35] I got it working after the upgrade but I had to clean everything out and then let it recreate xorg.conf [00:35] Needed the NVidia driver package too [00:35] i upgraded to Natty, and my video got hosed. Had to reload 10.10 [00:35] wtf? [00:36] how do i get to the "safe mode in 10.10?

It's UMPC with touch screen. To get touch screen work I need create xorg.conf. But after I create automatically and run it for test nothing happen just black screen. What can I do to fix this?

[00:43] DennyNY, it sounds like you Xorg of misconfigured, revisit your config and see if you got all the settings right [00:43] Need4Help: is the drive you installed 11.04 on plugged in? [00:43] trying to extract some files from a .zip to a folder in /usr/src, and I don't have permissions. Is there a command to unzip in terminal so I can sudo extract it? [00:43] kajakajo, haha you said it 'unzip' [00:44] kajakajo, unzipping with root permissions is not really what you want [00:44] pfifo, thanks [00:44] Hey guys, there's an unusable rectangular region of my desktop spanning from about (395,620) to (1055,665). It's like a transparent window or something, but I can't move it or click "through" it to the underlying window. [00:44] Barnabas, why? [00:44] kajakajo, be safe what unzip is going to overwrite and where if you do [00:44] starting from slash [00:45] kajakajo, unzipping as a normal user and then moving to /usr/src is a safer approach [00:45] pfifo, agree [00:45] pfifo: Is there a way to look log file? For X server. [00:45] Trying to dump dsdt.. got as far as a dat file. but iasl says couldn't read table header. or get from table from file. i tried just copying directly from proc/ but cant find dsdt [00:45] much safer [00:46] does anyone know of any good sources for setting up a Ubuntu 11.04 home server for media streaming, etc?

[00:47] aphixe, i can stream to smart phones? [00:47] Can anyone point me on documentation on how to administer a linux server? I am a programmer, and I am creating a web application. I'm quite good at programming, but I've never done the administering of linux systems. I don't know how to harden. I'm starting from a turnkey linux lamp stack [00:48] kajakajo: use either vim, emacs, or ed [00:48] kajakajo: open up nano [00:48] viciousDreams, well works on my phone, i dont own an iphone or android.. i got another smartphone [00:48] genixpro, the apache project is documented on their website, same with mysql, to do it right you need to read the official docs [00:49] genixpro, what server software do you plan to use ? [00:49] viciousDreams, can also stream videos with tonido, thru web browser. and vlc plugin [00:49] viciousDreams: i know there's firefly if you want to stream audio [00:49] Barnabas, I'm working from turnkey linux, so its a standard linux, apache, php, mysql setup [00:49] viciousDreams: vlc can stream video [00:49] genixpro: got an extra machine for a hardware firewall? [00:49] t3k_no_: if you hold shift at boot, is it ok? [00:50] Barnabas, I'm putting it on amazon ec2 cloud so i will likely use their rdbms service so i won't be administering the mysql mself [00:50] r0fs3ck5, i'm doing it on virtual machines [00:50] genixpro: kk [00:50] genixpro: don't forget gnu. also, you can't trust amazon's ec2 service anymore [00:50] exit [00:50] mahir256, how so? [00:50] quit [00:51] Can someone help me follow these instructions? I'm at step four, and I am getting an error that shows I'm a dummy, and I'm stuck: "dkms: command not found". instructions I'm following are a bit down the page here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1506925&page=4 [00:51] I spent quite a while considering googles app engine to save myself the effort of having to administer the operating system, but i decided i hated every python web framework [00:51] genixpro: you heard about the failure of those sites hosted by amazon? [00:51] how can I edit cronjobs in terminal? [00:51] I forgot :S [00:51] genixpro, I have no detailed knowledge of the Amazon setup, but I belive they are screening most config setups to their servers before activated [00:51] mahir256, no i have not, [00:52] genixpro, what is the plan? what kind of config? [00:52] ActionParsnip: no... [00:52] Darkenvy: crontab -e [00:52] genixpro, look at the ubuntu server guide if you haven't done so already: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/serverguide.pdf [00:52] I know its like "crontab" or something [00:52] yes! [00:52] genixpro: oh wow: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/21/amazon-cloud-failure-takes-down-web-sites/ [00:52] hey what's a site I can post some terminal output for you guys? [00:52] thanks [00:53] kajakajo, `sudo apt-get install dkms` [00:53] i get as far a the desktop screen.... the bottom toolbar with the clock... [00:53] jonsul: http://pastebin.com/ [00:53] Barnabas, i have no idea, i have never run a web server before. the only thing i care about is that it uses php, because i want to use the code igniter framework [00:53] hi, i think my ubuntu install might have been currupted... i know my live usb was, but in the system > admin > i have this option called "Install Release", any idea what this is? [00:53] razorsharp, ill take a look [00:53] pfifo, d'oh. Thanks. [00:53] t3k_no_: did you use wubi? [00:53] thx guys [00:54] a rectangular white box with the ubunto logo in the center... [00:54] genixpro, I would guess there is a standard config for php from Amazon then [00:54] I stress guess [00:54] use that [00:54] ActionParsnip: wubi??? i dont think so... refresh my mind on wubi??? sorry.. still a newbie [00:54] anyone got any working guides on dumping dsdt?

[00:56] I did it and had problems so I just reversed the command "apt-get remove lamp-server^" but then the output looked... rather disturbing [00:57] genixpro: sorry, just sayin'. anyway, (ideally) you can start up a web server from your own computer if you have the bandwidth enough to support it [00:57] don't know if I've just ruined my system http://pastebin.com/qV144TnM [00:57] genixpro: just get apache mysql and php, set it all up as you might have normally, then get a domain from dot.tk, and work from there [00:57] anyone, how to copy all the contents of a folder to another folder in terminal efficiently? [00:58] Hey guys, Having trouble with my dvd-rw drive, it doesn't seem to be reading blank disks [00:58] kajakajo, I use `cp -a /path/to/source /path/to/dest` [00:58] jonsul, you did remove some quite central parts of your system ..

I can't seem to get it working [01:00] that's it, install unity and it should fix that [01:00] jonsul, try reinstalling the unity desktop before rebooting [01:00] should pull in the necessary dependencies [01:01] hopefully [01:01] BaseBallBoy, but will it write? [01:01] im starting this pinning guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto and im sure that im going to have some questions....so i hope someone is on standby :) [01:01] . [01:01] anyone, how to copy all the contents of a folder to another folder in terminal efficiently? [01:02] BaseBallBoy: you may need to reinstall your driver for the dvd-rw (it's a minus between them right?), then you should forcibly write to the disk [01:02] kajakajo, cp -R [01:02] pfifo: all I know is it isn't recognizing the blank disks, it will read movies and such. [01:02] or [01:02] kajakajo, cp -R [01:02] ? [01:02] mahir256: yes it's -rw [01:03] "Pinning is a process that allows you to remain on a stable release of Ubuntu (or any other debian system) while grabbing packages from a more recent version." <<< Hi.

[01:06] pfifo didnt you send me the link to that site for pinning? [01:06] pfifo: default right click->Write to disk [01:06] en1gma, yes [01:06] mahir256, thanks [01:06] Pinning is a process that allows you to remain on a stable release of Ubuntu (or any other debian system) while grabbing packages from a more recent version. [01:07] that is a quote of what pinning does [01:07] en1gma, why dont you install your package from source? That is what I would do [01:07] Barnabas, pfifo, I'm looking at the man page and the commands you guys gave me, and I just can't understand something, so to confirm: I want to remove all the contents of a folder and place in in a different folder. How do I do that? I don't think either of those commands would work, if I'm not mistaken. :\ [01:08] well because of updates will install over it [01:08] command*, namely cp [01:08] i need to HOLD it after i downgrade [01:08] kajakajo, copy and then remove [01:08] i think* [01:09] en1gma, uninstall it from ubuntu, install via source, then ubuntu wont consider it installed... OR use check-install to build a .deb file and make it official part of the system [01:10] omg this is going to be an all nighter....but i know what your saying.... [01:10] pfifo, but how do I tell cp to select all of the contents? Does recursive (-r) do that? I wouldn't think so, but I don't see any other options, and I don't know exactly how to apply that. That you use -a is puzzling to me, also. feeling stupid and confused. [01:11] kajakajo: mv /(your directory here) /(your new directory here) [01:11] kajakajo, if you want to move it to another folder completely just rename your folder [01:11] much easier [01:11] hello [01:11] kajakajo: i'm pretty sure this will work [01:11] also the mv command [01:11] kajakajo, i use -a, which combines r and several other options... why dont you make a test directory and play with it a bit to see what works for you [01:11] oh hello, devnull_ [01:11] anyone want to help me figure out why my logitech webcam c260 isn't being autorecognized for me [01:11] hi mahir [01:12] kajakajo: the question is this: do you want to move all the stuff out of the folder and into another folder, or do you want to copy them? [01:12] BaseBallBoy, try this `wodim /path/to/image/iso` [01:12] kajakajo: from the way I read it, you want to move them [01:12] tntc, move them. My big question is how to select all the contents. [01:12] yo MAN is really cool im really iompreciate by this sjhit [01:12] ubuntu 10.04 [01:12] i have almost the same problem as devnull except for me it's the Tascam US-122 audio interface [01:12] pfifo, I will certainly play some, I guess. [01:13] kajakajo, a "name" of a folder is just an alias of the id of whats called an inode [01:13] so you can rename that safely [01:13] like on windows [01:13] as I see, ubuntu 10.04 is really a headache xD [01:13] my other webcam is recognized immediately and placed at /dev/video0 ... but this logitech webcam c260 isn't recognized though i know other people on linux have it working [01:13] right. I don't need to change the name of it, in reality I need to move it up one hierarchy. [01:13] I need the files to be where the folder that contains them is. [01:14] just running out of ideas ... i always seem to have usb fun [01:14] the folder I want them in already exists, they're just one extra chain down the hierarchy down. [01:14] devnull_: 1---are your drivers up to date? 2---is it connected correctly? 3---what software are you using this with? [01:14] kajakajo, thats `cp -a folder/* ./` [01:14] kajakajo: well, the short answer is mv source/* dest/ [01:15] i just did a fresh reinstall of 11.04 and i'm really hoping i can get the tascam working on the first shot this time. it was working a couple days ago and then something went wrong. if anyone could advise me it would be greatly appreciated [01:15] the other webcam seemed to be using V4L2 [01:15] yes it is connected properly [01:15] devnull_: I have one of those. What verision USB are you connecting it to? [01:15] kajakajo, the safe approach is to copy then delete [01:15] kajakajo, uses twice the space [01:15] i am not sure if it is my usb2 port or not [01:15] either way it should be recognized [01:16] kajakajo: and a lot more time if you're moving big files. [01:16] tntc, yes [01:16] devnull_: have you updated recently? [01:16] my system is up to date as far as running 10.04 is concerned [01:16] devnull, i think it's a matter of whether you have the right drivers and firmware installed, but then i know next to nothing when it comes to linux [01:17] kajakajo: but the mv command will handle directories inside and stuff correctly. and it will just move the stuff. Genereally, it just shifts what points to the contents of the folder, rather than actually moving anything on the disk. [01:17] well they don't have linux drivers for this webcam [01:17] devnull_: I'm also running 10.04 and mine works. What kind of motherboard etc do you have? [01:17] kajakajo: if you're moving from one disk to another, use cp, because it will take the same amount of time and is safer [01:17] Upgrading from 10.04 -> 10.10 grub error -- can't find grub_xputs ------ now at grub_rescue prompt. What can I try there ? [01:17] kajakajo: you can rm the old directory after the cp completes correctly. [01:17] hp pavillion dv5000z laptop [01:18] kajakajo: does that make sense to you? [01:18] couldn't tell you what the motherboard is [01:18] devnull_: are there any video devices listed in /dev? [01:18] nope [01:18] that is what i mean ... it isn't recognizing it [01:18] devnull_: does your laptop have a built in webcam? [01:18] no [01:19] hello everybody [01:19] :/ [01:19] I'm getting a kernel panic while installation [01:19] devnull_, are you using usb3.0 [01:19] no [01:19] trying to install ubuntu 11.04, and installing on usb [01:20] though i have been having odd usb issues for awhile ... though they haven't stopped anything from working [01:20] devnull_, can you pastebin the output of `lsusb && lspci` [01:20] Germanaz0: you're trying to install *TO* a USB, or from? [01:20] ever since ... udev i think ...things have been going south [01:20] from [01:20] sure [01:20] from USB to PC [01:20] *Notebook [01:20] ok, so i can't do any updates because of the popup that comes up everytime i try to install the updates. -> "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." What can i do to stop this from stopping my updates? [01:21] kajakajo: did you get it sorted out? [01:21] anyone know how i can get my tascam to be recognized? [01:21] johnathan, sounds like your using a ppa [01:21] two convos started, but no I haven't. making a sandbox to play with cp on my desktop, and have almost finished making it, but now kind of don't know what to do with cp [01:21] Germanaz0: are you actually getting to the desktop, or are you getting the panic before you get there, and getting dropped to a command prompt? [01:21] so going to just start fooling around. I don't know why this isn't easier to explain. [01:21] pfifo, that is a possibility. I would like to get my updates though... [01:22] KM0201: I'm getting it from desktop and direct installation modes [01:22] hmm [01:22] it happens after it copy all the files and install them, then try to configure apt [01:22] pfifo, the details says only one thing "apport-hooks-medibuntu" [01:22] starting to download a pair of files, and kernel panic happens allways in that part of the installation [01:22] NFS Question - If I am user 1001 on my system, and my brother is user 1001 on his system, and if he runs the SAME NFS mount command I would, he would thereby have access to my files - right? [01:22] johnathan, try commenting out any ppa's in /etc/apt/sources list, then do `apt-get update` `apt-get upgrade` [01:23] kajakajo: let me make sure I have this situation right: You've got stuff in /folder/foo/ , but you want everything in there in /folder/ instead? [01:23] grr [01:23] tntc, exactly [01:23] i've read through dozens of hours worth of google results over the past 48 hours and now that i've just freshly reinstalled 11.04, i want to see if i can get it right from the start. anyone know about initializing soundcards? [01:23] kajakajo: go into the folder the stuff is in right now, like this: cd /folder/foo/ [01:23] http://pastebin.com/h1p5uQTP [01:24] kajakajo: then, move everything in that folder to the folder below like this: mv * .. [01:24] pfifo, i have also been having problems with being the root user... I am the only user and it says that I am not... [01:24] Roasted, yes [01:24] kajakajo: the mv is "move", * means "Everything in this folder" and .. means "Into the folder above it." [01:24] johnathan, you are not the only user [01:24] kajakajo: cp will mean it will copy everything, which means that folder will suddenly use twice the space. [01:25] kajakajo: mv will just say "You're in /folder/ now, not /folder/foo/" [01:25] kajakajo: much, much faster. [01:25] tntc, that sounds perfect. [01:25] thanks. [01:25] will try [01:25] that's what I was looking for... [01:25] I knew there had to be a way [01:25] kajakajo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:25] kajakajo: ;) [01:25] and now my trackball isnt working [01:25] KM0201: the weird stuff is that I downloaded the iso a pair of times [01:25] and allways happens that [01:26] NFS Question - If I am user 1001 on my system, and my brother is user 1001 on his system, and if he runs the SAME NFS mount command I would, he would thereby have access to my files - right? [01:26] i hate the new dev system === Toph is now known as Guest63683 [01:26] kajakajo: be careful when using stuff like .. and ., especially with * and mv or rm. The unix command line has some... oddities. [01:26] roasted_, yes [01:26] man [01:26] pfifo did you see the pastebin link ? [01:26] nfs does not seem very secure. at all. [01:26] tntc, ntoed. [01:26] devnull_, no [01:27] http://pastebin.com/h1p5uQTP [01:27] roasted_, it is not [01:27] tntc, seems like you know what you're talking about; are you familiar at all with initializing soundcards? [01:27] devnull_: thanks, so are you using a logitech mouse as well? [01:27] adam61: sort of... Depends on the sound card and the sound system! :) [01:27] yes ... wireless trackman marble [01:28] yea its not recognizing that anything is even plugged in to it ... that is a cam [01:28] devnull_: yes, i can see [01:28] tntc, cool; i'm trying to get the tascam us122 to be recognized. it was working yesterday, and now i've just finished a fresh install of 11.04 [01:28] devnull_, are you sure your device is getting enough power? plugged into a powered usb port and its light comes on if it has one? [01:28] my trackball is working again ... between that and my droid i had enough usb problems [01:28] kajakajo: oh, also be wary of any directories with filenames starting with weird symbols like - or ? or *. - is especially bad. something like rm with a wildcard can find a -r and treat it as a /parameter/ instead of a filename, thus making your delete /recursive/. BAD NEWS! :) [01:28] it says it will work with usb 1.1 [01:29] devnull_: can you unplug the mouse and use your pad? [01:29] adam61: tascam us122... any idea what driver it used before? [01:29] sure [01:29] pfifo, is there any way to make NFS work with user authentication? or should I just fire up my CIFS share and have a beer? [01:29] hello [01:29] ill unplug everything else [01:29] devnull_: and do what pfifo said [01:30] roasted_, NFS assumes root knows what hes doing and therefor dosent ask questions [01:30] adam61: it looks like it needs some firmware too... [01:30] well all of my ports put out power [01:30] pfifo, I see. CIFS it is. [01:30] :) [01:30] i probably should get a usb hub though [01:30] Guys, I think I have a defunct splash screen or something, because the following region of my screen is unclickable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/unusable-region.png [01:31] i know it loaded with ux2yloader, but recently when i do that it says no us-x2y-compatible cards found. i just installed the basic alsa firmware [01:31] http://pastebin.com/h1p5uQTP [01:31] adam61: you did the stuff here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 [01:31] pfifo: wodim: Cannot fixate disk. [01:32] well i have put it in every usb port [01:32] adam61: also, does lsusb show the device? [01:32] adam61: OH! Specifically, check out step 7 on the page I just linked. Does that help? [01:32] [441989.352065] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [01:32] tntc, haven't done that since reinstallation.. lsusb shows it but it says without firmware [01:32] ok cool [01:33] why doesn't ubuntu create a porn edition~ [01:33] devnull_, usually even usb devices that dont have drivers show up in lsusb, since yours is not Im thinking its the ddevices fault, can you test it on a different computer [01:33] nope [01:33] solitude: *shrug* you could always fork it. [01:33] solitude: because you haven't already started one [01:33] or a jewish edition [01:33] i can plug it into a usb wall adapter but i don't know if that is wise or not [01:33] liekk a jewbuntu [01:34] with the holy star of david [01:34] instead of penguin [01:34] devnull_: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c501 Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse Receiver I thought you unplugged that. [01:34] that's highly racial solitude [01:34] solitude: well.. a jewbuntu for sure will not but saturdays [01:34] pls stop [01:34] apologize [01:34] ::< [01:34] ty [01:34] solitude: well.. a jewbuntu for sure will not boot saturdays [01:34] i haven't ls'ed since i removed it [01:34] GrouchySmurf: jubuntu [01:34] actually [01:34] I come to ubuntu to chat and relax, not to hear about those horrible ppl [01:34] adam61: any luck? [01:35] well i was raised jewish and i want my star of david [01:35] http://pastebin.com/h1p5uQTP ... new one [01:35] solitude: if you build it, they will come [01:35] solitude, i recommend backtrack [01:35] tntc, i'm just going through it from the start, so far so good, no errors yet [01:35] it does say logitech though now [01:35] oh ok :) [01:35] would you use my jubuntu [01:35] if i made it [01:35] l0de: if you want to chat and relax, you aren't at the right place xD [01:35] should i plug it into a usb adapter and see if the light comes on ? [01:35] For how long will ubuntu 10.10 receive updates? [01:36] adam61: I thought you were just going to run the step 7! You're way is smarter, I think :) [01:36] why does the 11.04 menu resemble apple and is not editable [01:36] ??

[01:37] http://pastebin.com/cJa9qWsD [01:37] devnull_: hard reboot and repeat. [01:37] good idea [01:37] BaseBallBoy, Im not sure what could be causing that issue, can you get it to work in a different distro or version of ubuntu? [01:38] brb [01:38] devnull_, ok now its being recognized, is it still not showing up in /dev/video* [01:38] nope [01:39] devnull_, is its light on?

[01:40] on one of my hard drives i have a 100GB partition with windows on it. i would like to merge this with my ubuntu partition without having to reinstall. any ideas?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:41] MethedMan: do you need data from the windows partition? [01:41] tntc, just ran into my first snag, it says "ERROR 404: Not Found." when i do step three [01:42] MethedMan: gparted liveCD (or perhaps even an ubuntu liveCD) would allow you to resize or delete the partition [01:42] tntc: i do not need data from the windows partition, but it would be nice to know what to do if i did need the data [01:42] adam61: hold on. I'm looking into it :) [01:42] Okay? Well, no one answers in the UF, so I was unsure. But the issue is I am trying to install BURG from the official how-to in the Ubuntu Wiki, but when I get to the repositories part it says 404 not found [01:42] tntc: i am pretty sure the ubuntu livecd will do the trick, but would prefer not to have to make a startup disk if i can help it [01:43] tntc, cool thanks :) [01:43] MethedMan: well, just mount the windows partition, copy all the stuff off of it, and then delete it and expand the partition === Aftermath is now known as Afteraffekt [01:43] MethedMan: well, you'll need to boot something outside of ubuntu anyhow. resizing a live filesystem is a bad idea [01:44] tntc: thanks [01:45] tntc, i found this: "firmware loader for the Tascam US-122 is now obsolete; it has been replaced by ALSA's usx2yloader program. For the latest version, download the alsa-tools and alsa-firmware packages from the ALSA website, but those should already come with your Linux distribution." so i don't know if that means i already have the req'd firmware since i've installed the basic alsa [01:45] adam61: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705291 [01:46] Guys, I think I have a defunct splash screen or something, because the following region of my screen is unclickable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/unusable-region.png [01:46] adam61: I just dug that up: It seems you just need to install and then plug in the 122, and then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base" [01:46] IsmAvatar: did you try logging out and back in? [01:46] tntc, wow that looks like a really good post, i'll give it a try, thanks! [01:46] adam61: Hopefully it'll be that simple!

[01:47] back [01:47] no light ... no /dev/video* [01:47] IsmAvatar: It's a weird shape to be a splash screen, with the hollow bit in the middle.

[01:48] not yet just about to try [01:48] oh ok [01:48] me and usb are not friends ... everything i have connected has always been a problem to get working ... except for that other webcam that was all automatic [01:48] When executing this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bean123ch/burg [01:48] |||| I get this as a warning/error: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7889D725DA6DEEAA [01:48] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/bean123ch/burg/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [01:48] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/bean123ch/burg/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [01:48] corrytonapple: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I see that some are for Lucid anyway [01:50] or maybe udev is thinking it is something else [01:50] tntc: !!!got it!!! omg! [01:50] wow thank you soooo much [01:50] tntc: I believe I'm using openjdk, but eclipse has its own jdk. At any rate, I don't want to kill java, because I'm using eclipse... [01:50] adam61: \o/ HOORAY! Glad it worked! [01:51] lifesaver! [01:52] im gonna throw this laptop out of a window soon [01:52] devnull_: dont do that [01:52] kick it [01:52] lol [01:52] corrytonapple: then there are no packages for natty [01:53] Okay, it works now Xangua. Thanks. Also thanks for the tip ubottu and FloodBot1. I will use that link for pasting big code output. I know you guys are just robots though :) [01:53] if i could afford a new one i would [01:53] tntc, i might has well run the other problem i was previously having by you quickly now, in case you're familiar with it. it's a more common problem i think: npviewer.bin hogging cpu whenever flash is playing. i took someone's advice and got chromium instead of firefox, but it still froze all the time. do you know of any way around this? [01:53] IsmAvatar: Tracking down what's causing it may not be possible if you don't kill processes and stuff. I'd just save your work and kill eclipse, and see if it fixes the problem. Otherwise you could spend hours avoiding it just to have to do it anyhow. [01:53] Thanks guys! [01:53] well after i took out the hard drive [01:54] adam61: right click on the flash window, go into settings, and disable hardware acceleration. see if that solves it :) [01:54] adam61: I think that setting sticks, too. [01:54] tntc, great thanks again, i'll try that [01:55] adam61: Let me know if it fixes it for ya. Flash can be very finnicky. [01:55] adam61: you might also want to check out flashplayer square [01:57] devnull_: Have a search through here and try to find your device: http://www.linux-drivers.org/ [01:57] Okay, I am configuring burg, and it brought me to a window where it says "GRUB install devices:" with a red box before the text like "[(red box)] /dev/sda" with the text OK below it. What do I do? [01:57] adam61: also try downloading the official .deb of Chrome from Google. It adds a repo though. [01:57] adam61: also, http://bombnomnom.com/?p=33 has some info about trying flash player square. It's for OS X, but it should work for Linux too. [01:58] adam61: tntc or use chromium, already on the repository and open source [01:59] xangua: yeah, he's using that but having problems with flash. the official google version comes with flash, IIRC [01:59] no match for c250 [01:59] tntc, wow that's a lot of good suggestions, i will try them all because it seems like npviewer.bin is indestructable and every time it runs my volume mutes [02:00] xangua, i have chromium and it still freezes my sound [02:00] adam61: that's very odd... [02:00] adam61: does it happen as other users [02:00] man im striking out here [02:00] when I do "aptitude show " I get a useful description of the package (well, for most packages, anyway) ... anyone know a place to get this for ALL packages without having to run that for each one ... because it is actually just slow enough that it takes hours to do it for all packages [02:00] tntc: adam61 flash has been sucking for me even more than normal lately :S [02:00] tntc: it wasn't java. [02:01] tntc: I have no java processes running now, but I still have the unclickable region [02:01] hi all this is a noobish question coming from a noob = once i have my virtual machines running how do i connect to them [02:01] adam61: xangua: I'm running Chrome and it's been going OK for me. The version with chrome seems to have less weird flash artifacting even. [02:02] IsmAvatar: I'd save all your work, log out, and log back in. You've got 100+ choices for the process that could be causing it. [02:02] missil: depends on how you set it up ... ssh is common but you need to set up networking for that, obviously [02:02] tntc, how would you compare chrome to chromium? i have chromium and would prefer to stick with that if it's at all similar [02:02] Skaperen: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages; sudo aptitude show < my-packages may work [02:02] i set up a br0 interface for eth0 [02:02] adam61: they're almost exactly the same. [02:03] adam61: the only difference is chrome has some google bits that chromium doesn't, IIRC [02:03] alright i am giving up ... this doesn't make sense [02:03] ok, guess i'll keep chromium as my default for now then [02:03] adam61: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [02:03] just have to know .. will i damage the cam if i plug it into a 5volt usb adapter ? [02:03] ActionParsnip: yeah but isn't that still just running it for each one? [02:03] adam61: it may have a serious effect on the flash issue. [02:04] Skaperen: it makes a list file of the installed packages then run: aptitude show for each one [02:04] I don't want it for just the installed packages ... I want it for ALL packages [02:04] especially those not yet installed [02:05] ActionParsnip: sure, thanks should i post it in private? [02:05] tntc: logging out and back in seems to have fixed it for now. Starting Eclipse doesn't make it appear [02:05] Skaperen: then use: ptitude --display-format '%p' > ~.my-packages (as a guess) [02:05] adam61: no, use a pastebin [02:05] devnull_: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ [02:05] tntc, you mean chrome may be much better than chromium for flash? [02:05] ActionParsnip: I have the package list from apt-cache dump [02:05] adam61: yes. [02:06] adam61: specifically because of the extra bits google does to make it work. [02:06] Skaperen: then use that in conjunction with aptitude and it will output it all [02:06] it is in the list of supported devices [02:06] ActionParsnip: that's what I already do ... that's what is slow [02:06] devnull_: yours is there. [02:06] adam61: both are great with flash, I only use chromium daily build here [02:06] Skaperen: think abouot how many packages there are!!

What can I try there ? [02:07] no it isn't [02:07] ActionParsnip: that's why I need something else ... like a program that just straight dumps the data without doing what aptitude does ... or even better something to download that has it all, already [02:07] sorry [02:08] InHisName: boot to livecd and reinstate grub2 [02:08] no 260 listed only 250 300 [02:08] ActionParsnip, did i do this right? http://pastebin.com/kR57mtEx [02:08] ActionParsnip: ok [02:08] adam61: perfect :) [02:08] tntc, ok i will definitely try it out [02:08] i guess uvc won't work for it ... damn i only bought it because people said it works out of the box with ubuntu [02:08] Synaptic Package Manager Question.. I installed a package that i needed and it failed to complete install. (its ok i finished the install with fixes by hand) now everytime i install any other packages it installs them but still gives me a error about the failed package that i already got to work... how do i clear it? I need to keep the files in cause its working now. [02:08] but nothing works that way for me that is why i don't by accessories [02:09] is it very unwise to use my home ubuntu 10.04 pc with lamp to host my live/public website? [02:09] ActionParsnip, what does that output tell you? [02:09] adam61: run: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [02:09] using 11.04 === Logan_ is now known as Fluff|sleep [02:10] why would the 250 be supported and 300 but not 260 [02:10] adam61: tells us you have 64bit natty but 32bit flash using nspluginwrapper, that command willpull it out then install 64bit flash :) [02:10] itilious: can't see any problem with it :) [02:11] ActionParsnip: I guess maybe I just need to set up a big background script that runs it daily and puts the results online and I just grab if from my own server when I need it [02:11] i guess i could try building the uvc stuff from source even though it is a kernel module already [02:11] Hi guys. [02:11] ActionParsnip: I might be able to share it, too [02:11] adam61: the big thing about Chrome vs Chromium is that Chrome supposedly has an integrated version of flash, rather than the sort of indirect plugin. [02:11] Skaperen: shared knowledge is good :) [02:12] ActionParsnip: the knowledge is already in Ubuntu ... but it's just not so conveniently accessible === Guest58915 is now known as mns` [02:12] I was curious about that... I love Chrome on Win, but this build came with Firefox [02:12] Skaperen: thats why people make scripts and guis and such [02:12] squonk: it can be removed. Its one of the first things I uninstall [02:12] Really? [02:13] ActionParsnip: I know ... but I'd have though this would have been done, already ... guess not [02:13] squonk: yes, very [02:13] I installed ubuntu standard erm yesterday, still exploring. [02:13] squonk: yeah, you can install chromium or chrome and set em as default. [02:13] kk [02:13] I finally got the flash download to work [02:13] Skaperen: thats why the OS is great, you can make stuff like that and share it around [02:13] it's been an education, guysl. [02:13] squonk: Look for "Preferred Applications" after you install them. It lets you change default e-mail client and browser. [02:14] Ah see, I'm excited about that [02:14] yea not getting anywhere .... device not in the uvc compatible list and not in the non-uvc list either [02:14] squonk: I have a tip for you with Chrome: take it to the garbage bin :) [02:14] I'm not a scripter, but honestly it reminds me of DOS... the cmd line. [02:14] :) [02:14] squonk: its a billion times more powerful than DOS [02:14] GrouchySmurf: why, what do you use? [02:15] squonk: its closer topowershell [02:15] I know. I'm saying that it reminds me of it. [02:15] *to powershell [02:15] tntc, ok cool, good info [02:15] yet people have it working [02:15] I'm a hardware tech, this is my first jump into linux [02:15] im gonna plug it into a wall adapter and see if the light comes on [02:15] squonk: welcome to the insanity :) [02:15] ActionParsnip, k i think that worked [02:15] hey thanks! [02:16] adam61: no worries dude, may as well use 64bit flash if your OS is 64bit [02:16] hope i don't fry it [02:16] hi all [02:16] * squonk crosses fingers [02:16] there is my problem [02:16] adam61: there is a PPA with 64bit java for natty too [02:16] i cant make work my usb web cam [02:16] devnull_: danger [02:16] is a 6 leds webcam with microphone [02:16] orugasam: install and run cheese, do you see yourself? [02:16] My sys will support that archie, but I run 32, guess I wanted to be conservative. [02:16] nop [02:16] haha [02:17] http://www.google.com/search?q=6+leds+webcams&hl=es&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=oHnQTbvfBsi1tgfwqPSTDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CA8Q_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=494 [02:17] ActionParsnip: ya for sure. i think i'm going to try rebooting and see how it goes. i'm just curious, is npviewer.bin the problematic part of flash for everyone? [02:17] this kind of webcam [02:17] orugasam: ok then run: lsusb one line will identify the device, use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [02:17] ActionParsnip, what is a PPA?

[02:19] alright this cam is going back to the store tomorrow [02:20] devnull_: research what works well and you will have fewer issues [02:20] this one said it worked out of the box in ubuntu or atleast what people said [02:20] and someone else here has it working [02:20] should i be concerned about port 24953 being used? i dont know of any application that would be using it and its making me worried [02:20] devnull_: strange [02:20] HI [02:20] yes [02:20] im ready to pull my hair out [02:20] anyone from greece? [02:21] ActionParsnip: tntc: should i reboot now? i don't have sound, but my tascam lights are on and i think it was just npviewer.bin running that has caused the sound to go out. should i try fixing this first or rebooting? [02:21] itilious: you can use: netstat -a | grep 24953 [02:21] adam61: sure, can't hurt [02:21] yes from greece [02:21] i was using an original nvidia driver for my mx440 (yes an old piece of hardware) now, i see that Natty doesn't came with support for it! what can i do? [02:21] !mx440 [02:22] cablop: I believe the nvidia-96 driver supports it [02:22] not work [02:22] ActionParsnip, nothing came from that command.. [02:22] but the leds works [02:22] but afaik that drivers seems to be impossible to install on Natty [02:22] ActionParsnip, i'm pretty concerned about that npviewer.bin.. as long as it runs it disables my audio and eats my cpu.. guess i'll see what a reboot will bring [02:22] orugasam: ok then run: dmesg | tail -n 10 did the kernel react to the insertion? [02:23] ActionParsnip, i used that command to fix an issue with apache recently,, but i dont understand why nothing it output to terminal this time [02:23] huh [02:23] nop nothing happen when i connect [02:23] ActionParsnip: there's no way of getting around using npviewer.bin that you know of, is there? [02:23] adam61: you can run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove and it should remove it [02:23] adam61: now you are using 64bit flash, it won't load [02:23] ActionParsnip: if i try to install it it tells me that xorg and xorg-server are going to be uninstalled [02:23] cablop: yikes, no deal [02:23] [ 11.072956] pci 0000:01:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode [02:23] [ 11.235934] [drm] DMA buffer initialized finished.

[02:31] also there is an enumeration issue i have been seeing for years now ... one version of linux it wasn't there and after upgrade and ever since my logs are filled with usb enumeration errors [02:31] i think there's a pattern here... the LTS is a good release, but could be betterm then the next release is like how a LTS could be... then next two releases are just experiments and are very harmful for the user, thengs become better the next LTS, but that LTS has that many changes that you are going to cry if oving from LTS to LTS [02:31] How can I determine what has caused a hard lock of my system? [02:32] but when i throw live cds in things are pretty smooth [02:32] :) [02:33] any solution for my problem with my 6 leds webcam?

[02:46] ChrisMorgan: sorry, overlay-scrollbar [02:46] Oxy_Morron: sounds like bad ram if memtest doesn't run [02:46] rww: thanks :-) [02:46] ugg [02:47] ActionParsnip, and then after reinstalling Firefox, i rebooted, and could not log in anymore [02:47] hi anybody here have this kind of webcam?http://www.google.com/search?q=6+leds+webcams&hl=es&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=oHnQTbvfBsi1tgfwqPSTDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CA8Q_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=494 [02:47] working in ubuntu [02:47] Oxy_Morron: get your ram tested, if the memtester has issues, its more than ubuntu [02:48] idk ... bios upgrade ... ripping out my usb drives from my lappy ... kernel upgrade ? i have no idea any more [02:48] Oxy_Morron: try resetting bios to failsafe [02:48] ActionParsnip, Reseting Bios__ Thats a new one [02:48] Oxy_Morron: may help [02:49] http://www.pcliquidations.com/p6607-chenbro-micom-rm21706-2,, would this be a good server,,? what about ubuntu [02:49] ActionParsnip, I dont even know if I have that option in my Bios, but i' ll check it out later [02:49] Oxy_Morron: they usually does, not seen a system without it [02:49] rww: actually, I'm not sure if it really applies to overlay-scrollbar or if it's just triggered by a behaviour of overlay-scrollbar. Here's a description of the way I found this bug first: [02:49] Run gnome-system-monitor, go to Processes tab, start typing something in the list view (e.g. gnome-power-monitor), then use the overlay scrollbar for a bit - the search text box will disappear and the whole window is now broken (the list view works fine, but try closing the window or changing tabs or pressing a button or anything... broken) [02:50] devnull_: Oddly enough, I have no /var/log/messages file [02:50] dam [02:50] you do have logs in there though righ t? [02:50] root@amphetamine:~# ls -al /var/log | grep messages [02:50] root@amphetamine:~# [02:50] anyone know how i can get my bios version from terminal ? [02:50] ChrisMorgan: I'd report it against overlay-scrollbar, personally. [02:50] =/ [02:50] unforgiven512, /var/log/messages [02:50] Yes, it's not there. [02:50] damn [02:51] ChrisMorgan: though it might end up being gnome-system-monitor, but the scrollbar people will know and move it if necessary. [02:51] try kern.log [02:51] OK, will do. Should I use ubuntu-bug or report it directly in launchpad? [02:51] and devnull_, I think dmidecode [02:51] dmesg [02:51] thanks [02:51] ChrisMorgan: use ubuntu-bug whenever possible [02:51] how do I logon with my nick [02:51] I checked all of them =/ [02:51] Good, that's what I thought. [02:53] devnull_: Better yet: dmidecode | grep Version | head -1 [02:53] And that'll display just the BIOS version [02:53] Without all the other stuff [02:54] What's the name for the GTK control used there, that list/tree view?

[03:14] ActionParsnip, thanks for the tips, they helped. i still can't run flash for longer than about three seconds, but at least my computer isn't freezing up anymore. i'm going to try tntc's suggestion about flashplayer square and/or chrome and see if that fixes it. [03:14] Id10T: No. What does it do? [03:14] any way to fix the issue where xchat-gnome channel joins fail because authentication happens second? [03:14] Cajun_Lan_Man, are you on it roght now? [03:14] no. I am on another laptop. I've got the d600 right next to me though. [03:14] adam61: there is also minitube which plays the vids without the need for flash [03:14] Mathuin, it auto configs all dependencies for windows programs through wine, give it a shot [03:15] Cajun_Lan_Man: use a wired connection and get full updates [03:15] Id10T: certainly worth trying. Installing it now. [03:15] Cajun_Lan_Man, please plug in the cat5 cable to the d600 [03:15] ActionParsnip, really?! that sound great. how can i try that out? [03:15] ActionParsnip: I already went ethernet and got full updates. [03:15] adam61: its an app like any other in the repos. [03:15] Cajun_Lan_Man: good, helps stuff a lot. If you run: sudo lshw -C network what is the product line [03:16] Cajun_Lan_Man, do a dmesg | grep b43 see any errors [03:16] adam61: instead of asking like that, try researching a little, you will learn more [03:17] also what are the numbers that are in red lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 [03:17] by the 14e4 [03:17] google is your friend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1621331 [03:17] Cajun_Lan_Man, also check rfkill list all [03:19] hi guys i have put an alias into my ~/.profile, but the terminal never loads it. here is my .profile http://pastebin.com/YSLrqJjj [03:19] i mean, the .profile runs but the alias is not set [03:20] installed ubuntu 10.10 on an asus 1001p eeepc for dual booting with windows 7, wifi sees connections but won't connect, wifi icon just keeps searching, any help? [03:20] currently booted with ubuntu livecd. i am staring at GParted trying to merge two partitions. any ideas on how to merge two partitions? [03:20] ActionParsnip, ok, sorry i'm just completely exhausted - i've been doing this pretty much for over fifty straight hours. it seems all i've been doing is researching for hours before i ask questions that i'm completely clueless about. [03:20] time for bed lol [03:20] pyfon, google search your model and ubuntu wifi driver [03:20] ActionParsnip: it's a broadcom card it seems [03:20] I have a question about sharing network connections. My win machine doesn't report an ip address like 192.168 etc. What can I do to change this so I can set port forwarding on my win machine? [03:20] Cajun_Lan_Man: broadcom make many cards, which model chip? [03:21] methedman, install gparted to a live usb, i use it that way all the time [03:22] pyfon: what interface does: sudo iwlist scan | head say is the wireless one, examples are: eth1, wlan0, ar0 [03:22] ActionParsnip: BCM4306 [03:22] Id10T: i booted running ubuntu live from a usb now and am using gparted. not sure how to merge two partitions though. it does not seem like an option === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:22] ActionParsnip: wlan0 [03:23] !broadcom | Cajun_Lan_Man [03:23] Cajun_Lan_Man: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:23] Cajun_Lan_Man, any errors on the dmesg | grep b43 [03:23] Cajun_Lan_Man: the wired link will make this a LOT easier [03:23] Cajun_Lan_Man, any errors on the dmesg | grep b43|/wl ? [03:23] bobweaver: it's telling me ERROR: you must go to *weblink* and download the correct firmware. I thought the "Additional Drivers" took care of that kind of thing. [03:24] I have two primary partitions that i want to merge [03:24] Cajun_Lan_Man, rfkill list all any thing blocked ? [03:24] MethedMan, I dont think I have been able to use all of the features of Gparted via ubuntu live and the way I usually do that is to grow a partition. [03:24] Cajun_Lan_Man: get on the wired and run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [03:24] Id10T: what do you mean grow a partition? [03:25] bobweaver: nothing is blocked [03:25] MethedMan, by merge a partition, do you mean you have data on two partitions that you want to combine? [03:25] pyfon: could try wicd [03:25] Cajun_Lan_Man, you need to re-install the firmware-b43-installer [03:25] not the mods for the b43 \ [03:26] Id10T: I have one partition with data that i want and another partition with windows (that i deleted). i want to make this space available to the ubuntu partition. [03:26] ActionParsnip: bobweaver: running the command now. [03:27] MethedMan, open gparted delete the partition you don't want and grow the other one [03:27] ActionParsnip, bobweaver, I'm still getting "device not ready (firmware missing)" in the networking module......thingy. Reboot? [03:27] MethedMan, I see, what I mean by grow a partition is to take an existing partition and some empty space, then expand the existing partition. [03:27] Cajun_Lan_Man, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748245&page=5 post #44 [03:28] Id10T so not the version in the repo then? [03:28] Id10T: no luck with playonlinux, my app isn't included there. :-( [03:28] MethodMan, only thing is, there can't be a partition inbetween the empty space and the partition you wish to grow. [03:29] Mathuin, sorry man, thats too bad, playonlinux has had everything I ever needed. [03:29] escott: Gparted is telling me that my partition status is: "Busy (At least one logical partition is mounted)" [03:29] it also has a "key" next to this partition [03:30] hi, im getting kernel: eth0: auto-negotiating... is there a workaround for this? [03:30] MethedMan, you can't do this with your mounted / partition. do it from a livecd [03:30] MethedMan, like I said, you need to install gparted to a usb, dont open it through ubuntu live it will always give you that error [03:30] escott: i am running the live cd though [03:31] Id10T: No problem, I'm glad to learn about something new -- it might fix my next problem. :-) [03:31] Id10T: how do i install it to a usb [03:31] MethedMan, then check the output of "mount" in a terminal [03:32] MethodMan, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php [03:32] MethedMan, you don't need the usb if you have the live cd [03:33] Id10T: i am running ubuntu live via USB [03:33] escott, I think he is trying to grow a partition on his main drive, I have tried to do this before using the ubuntu live cd but always got the error he is getting. If he uses Gparted directly, no error [03:34] i have to admit [03:34] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/608149/ [03:35] regardless i cannot use the official nvidia driver, the experimentar 3D support on that old MX440 is pretty good [03:35] has anyone here used wubi to install? [03:35] squonk i avoided it [03:35] oh man that's how I installed it. [03:35] same [03:35] that's how I got here [03:36] Id10T: so how do i use Gparted directly? [03:36] Seemed liked a way to get started. [03:36] well, what's your question about it? [03:36] okay... as a learning platform. it's okay. but eventually I want to install a build on a dedicated box. [03:36] squonk: well this is most the try ubuntu before installing it for real [03:37] kk [03:37] Well I'm loving it so far. [03:37] squonk but i started with ubuntu before the live CDs so when live cds came out i stick tieh them :) [03:37] And you'd love it more without Unity I'm sure. [03:37] Unity? [03:37] squonk, anyway i'll suggest you to use a dual boot for a while [03:37] That's what I am doing cablop [03:38] MethodMan, download this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ and use ubuntu's startup disk creator [03:38] On bootup, click your name and down the bottom choose Ubuntu (Classic).. [03:38] mmm squonk unity is that think that has some sort of docker wannabe at the left and less menus [03:38] ahhh! [03:38] hello, can anyone tell me how to set my touchpad to use two fingers tap as a middle click? [03:38] kk [03:38] but we, the old school love the old gnome, despite we are hating their making ous lifes harder with each new release [03:39] jupitreas, what version of ubuntu? [03:39] okay so this release I loaded with wubi [03:39] 11.04 [03:39] yep [03:39] jupitreas; You have to know for certain if your touchpad is multitouch compatible. [03:39] that's the version [03:39] it's gnome [03:39] jupitreas, what version of ubuntu? [03:39] I didn't care for kubuntu [03:39] :) [03:39] to clarify - its gnome and i know that the command synclient TapButton2=2 works [03:40] but i dont know how to make it run automatically every time i boot [03:40] junpritreas, in the search, type mouse, then change the setting [03:40] jupitreas: afaik you need to install a package to manage mouses... don't remember the name, but it is in the ubuntu software center [03:40] type in mouse in the search then toch pad then enable two finger [03:40] * squonk goes back to reading the whitepapers. [03:40] squonk unity is built reusing gnome things, it is gtk, either, but, you'll love the classic interface, anyway [03:41] ok I'm off... [03:42] danke cablop. Appreciate ya! [03:42] squonk: in fact, and to be sincere, i tried unity on my netbook, and tried the classic gnome, classic gnome gives me much more on that small screen that what unity gave me... my sister hates me cause because unity she has no more desktop cube anymore in same netbook xD [03:42] bobweaver: Well I tried installing firmware-b43legacy-installer, but some subprocess installed postinstallation script returned error exit status 1. [03:42] #medan [03:43] I find gnome to be a more stable interface with this toshiba satellite [03:43] Cajun_Lan_Man, reboot try again [03:43] shout down I mean [03:43] squonk then you'll love compiz on classic ubuntu too xD [03:43] hehe I'm fairly excited. [03:43] When I log out and log back into a session the sound driver, autodetected, won't allow access to plug&play drivers, or certain other features. Have to restart completely to restore the features. [03:43] what is the command that outputs all installed programs? [03:43] honestly this laptop was good...but now... it's so stable it scares me. [03:43] bobweaver: looking at the details, it shows "Not supported card here (blah blah) Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver. Aborting. [03:44] squonk be careful, a new system has new challenges and different frustrations, be ready to face them [03:44] which means I should have come to the party a lot sooner. [03:44] OMG you aren't kidding took me two hours to get my video sorted. [03:44] squonk haha [03:45] I started out with an old zenith laptop with DOS. 3.3+ [03:45] hi , i have this error when unplug a usb external hd with a custom kernel:Kernel Panic - Not Syncing: Fatal Exception in Interrupt . can you say me what module i need enable in .config before compile kernel? thank [03:45] god I just dated myself! [03:45] Question: How to i change external drive permissions to allow other users to R/W to them? [03:45] just installed natty on my wifes dell d430 laptop, no luck on getting the wireless to work, it is a broadcom 4311, any hints? [03:45] Cajun_Lan_Man, take your time and read it all (the link ) [03:45] So I'm going to take er slow. But I do have empty boxes to "play" with. [03:45] squonk, in brief, i hate when linux makes me have a hard time when i need to dfo simple stuff i aleready know works with ease in windows, but, in the other hand, i feel pretty confident than when i solve a problem i know what i am doing, or at least can research, and fix instead of hack the system [03:46] what fun would it be if it were easy [03:46] cablop what windows does that machine came with? [03:46] well by profession I am a hardware and network tech. [03:46] So I have to study up the OS that I work on. [03:47] I'd LIKE to be proficent with linux [03:47] ergo I am here. [03:47] :) [03:47] huh [03:47] ubuntu is awesome [03:47] I love it so far [03:47] permit tcp any any eq telnet [03:47] #ubuntu doesnt make you proficient. makes u lazy :) [03:47] Just a lot of bloody reading. heh [03:47] lol true, w0ng [03:47] what is the command which outputs all installed programs? [03:48] squonk, if your windows in that toshiba is not vista or win7 you can combine them in some interesting ways [03:48] crude it's win7ultimateSB [03:48] dang [03:48] sigh [03:48] it's a 64 bit archy, but I'm running 32 [03:48] Question: How to i change external drive permissions to allow other users to R/W to them? [2nd and final postng] [03:48] which is better, ultimate or professional? [03:48] well, just one hard disk in the machine?

[03:51] squonk, i used to dualboot and run the real linux in vm whn i needed [03:51] so with xp it's possible? [03:52] hi , i have this error when unplug a usb external hd with a custom kernel:Kernel Panic - Not Syncing: Fatal Exception in Interrupt . can you say me what module i need enable in .config before compile kernel? thank [03:52] I'll do the research, cablop [03:52] qin iḿ telling him how to run the same ubuntu either real or virtual, iḿ talking about an ubuntu setup on an specific computer, go back and read if you doubt [03:52] I'm old school too. [03:52] how do i disallow other users exept admin from being able to mount or navigate my 2 other hdd media? [03:52] squonk with xp is possible even having different real hard drives [03:52] nice [03:53] I log my chats so your words aren't being lost. [03:53] I'm still tripping on all the crazy apps, cableop [03:53] Sonja, change the top directory permissions to 700, then only you can see what is within them [03:53] er cablop [03:53] yay [03:54] my setup was dual boot xp and ubuntu, if i needed the ubuntu while on xp then i just started the vm and accessed that linux, win7 has a problem and it is it loads disks in different order each startup making vbox loose reference of the drive ubuntu is on [03:54] HI. I'm trying to share an internet connection with windows xp wirelessly. I think I "forced it" by editting my ad hoc connection and inputing a stsatic IP and making the gateway the IP of the LAn connection. But i have no internet still. I'm using a Dell desktop with Xp that's connnected directly to a belkin router. (the router's wireless signal is too weak and making my internet slow.) And I'm tryying to connect my gateway net- [03:54] boook with ubuntu 10.10 wirelessly to my desktop and share its ethernet connection using a usb wireless adapter on the desktop. [03:54] Sonja: I think it has something to do with group plugdev [03:54] squonk: my setup was dual boot xp and ubuntu, if i needed the ubuntu while on xp then i just started the vm and accessed that linux, win7 has a problem and it is it loads disks in different order each startup making vbox loose reference of the drive ubuntu is on [03:55] squonk, but if you use only one disk, then, it is ok, no way to load it in disorder xD [03:55] on this laptop I just have the internal. [03:55] no option for larger, BUT [03:55] squonk: disk size? [03:55] I was playing with the idea of erm.... ditching the stock drive and going to [03:55] heeh [03:55] Flynn, I think you need to configure XP to have those capabilities [03:55] solid state 128gig [03:56] * roar waves [03:56] just a thought. [03:56] current drive 360 gig [03:56] squonk well, drooling [03:56] hi roar [03:56] man they got em at Fry's for under 2 bills, cablop [03:56] i wanted a SSD 128 GB, but too expensive... then somebody gifted me a 320 Gb then i forgot about the SSD xD [03:56] trying to create an extended partion with gparted in ubuntu live. extended partition is not an option. [03:57] ahhh you were blessed [03:57] but still we gotta have SUMFIN to dream about, yus? [03:57] uRock I think i did it right. It makes the ad hoc connection. The lan connection is shared. And I can connect to it, I just don't have internet. [03:57] MethedMan, how many partitions are there already? [03:57] but the 320 Gb is not SSD [03:57] nor is mine [03:57] I believe is SATA [03:57] anyway my netbook with that disk is running like a desktop computer with ubuntu xD [03:57] Flynn, that has to be configured on XP for it to work as a router [03:57] see that is what I'm lovin [03:58] this toshiba was one of their top end, with all the bells and stuff [03:58] Flynn, I know that is made easy in W7, but not sure about XP [03:58] uRock: less than 4 [03:58] squonk i am running ubuntu using full disk encryption, except for the boot partition, and performance is still nice [03:58] ubuntu found and with a lil config uses ALL the toys! [03:58] bobweaver: meh, I seem to be going backwards. Now the wireless option has vanished from the network indicator. [03:58] I lucked out. [03:58] uRock, What has to be configured? [03:58] you guys have to mount, research drivers, compile. [03:59] is your dmesg error gone ? [03:59] I haven't learned that yet. [03:59] hello [03:59] squonk one step at a time [03:59] anyone on [03:59] aye, cablop [03:59] what is the command for creating passwd for super user [03:59] Cajun_Lan_Man, is the dmesg error gone is rfkill list all anything blocked [03:59] i suggest you to use virtualbox and test test test ubuntu things until you get it [03:59] Flynn, there needs to be an app on XP that allows it to work like a router to switch packets from one NIC to the other [03:59] hi, I have one quick question: I've installed a SSD (x25m) and before that I've alligned the partitions using the older boot. [04:00] by default it was 255 H/ 63 S [04:00] virtualbox like a programmer's sandbox, correct?: [04:00] yuvateja: You should avoid doing so. [04:00] Will Ubuntu ever use i686? [04:00] uRock ok, I hope such a thing exists. [04:00] squonk virtualBox creates you a virtual computer inside your operative system, you can run another operative system inside it [04:00] and I think I've changed it to 32/ 32 . After installing Ubuntu I see in fdisk again 255/63. Is that possible? [04:00] basically a virt machine that you can treat like the real deal, however if you crash it... you lose nothing. [04:01] * squonk grins [04:01] qin: i want do nmap commands on super user [04:01] yuvateja: sudo nmap [04:01] I'm currently wanting to tweak wireless access [04:01] squonk, well, playing hard with virtualbox you can use real disks instead virtual ones, xD so, don't break those ones, but by defasult you use virtual disks [04:02] whats up with google [04:02] for when I travel, you understand. [04:02] Flynn, something like this maybe? http://www.homenethelp.com/ics/ics-install-netxp.asp [04:02] yuvateja: or, sudo -i (to open root shell) [04:02] qin : i want to create passwd for super user [04:02] bobweaver: the dmesg doesn't seem to do anything now. [04:02] okay I can make ubuntu create a virtual system [04:02] michael_, what's you question? [04:02] yuvateja: It is not supported here. [04:02] allowing me to "experiment" [04:02] its like the wifi card is gone now [04:02] never mind [04:02] im out [04:02] oh that happened with my kubuntu install [04:03] squonk dunno how vbox do network bridges... but i use a winxp inside a vbox, on top on that ubuntu on that netbook... when i turn on the wireless... i got registered both systems in the WLAN xD, like connectiong two computers but just one WLAN just one WLAN login [04:03] no clue, Cajun I just reinstalled. [04:03] ooo sweet! [04:03] qin: anybody who knows normal user password can acess the super user. [04:03] Cajun_Lan_Man, what about rfkill list all [04:04] it only shows bluetooth [04:04] oh that's sic [04:04] *imagines the possibilities. [04:04] yuvateja: very very old school, willing to run root directly? [04:04] !su [04:04] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:04] When I try to run firefox 4 from the extracted tarball on 10.10, I get "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [04:04] yuvateja: Nope, only sudoers can elevate to root. [04:04] uRock: chmod 700 Folder/ ? === mns` is now known as Guest27359 [04:04] Sonja, that looks correct [04:04] Cajun_Lan_Man, go back to the therad and post lsmod and dmesg [04:05] yuvateja: not recommended on debian ubuntu, because sudo protects you, but if you know what you are doing... [04:05] !fx4 | sosaited [04:05] sosaited: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [04:05] yuvateja: `sudo -i` will start for you a root shell, then type password there and you are done [04:05] Sonja, you may have to chown it if you haven't already [04:05] ok [04:05] Howdy [04:05] bobweaver: Thanks for taking the time. [04:05] yuvateja: sorry is passwd not password [04:06] does ubuntu work in a mac mini? [04:06] Chromium is better anyway [04:06] duli, it should === HarrowedAU is now known as HarrowedAU[BNC] [04:06] Cajun_Lan_Man, been there got a d610 sitting next to me also [04:06] duli, run the liveCD/USB and see how it works [04:06] xangua, I don't want to upgrade my 3.6 yet. The ppa method upgrades that AFAIK [04:06] Will Ubuntu ever use i686? [04:06] duli yup, test with a live CD|usb [04:07] well I have a newer D520 (using it now) and it's doing fine. Just wanting to breathe some new life into the D600 [04:07] yes, ok, but I don't have the computer yet to test… tks anyway!

When I try to run firefox 4 from the extracted tarball on 10.10, I get "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [04:14] sosaited, the firefox version you extracted reference a shared object (dll in windows) that do not exist [04:15] sosaited be sure you are running the firefox of that folder [04:15] Hi [04:15] sosaited, try to set your LD_Library_path to fit [04:15] sosaite you can also try adding this param,eter --no-remote when launching it [04:16] cablop, I am running from that folder. [04:16] Barnabas, Where can I set that ? :s [04:16] check you are using ./firefox inetad of just firefox, also [04:16] is there a direct line to developers where I can make a comment that might get read by someone who can make a real change in the 11.04 installer? [04:17] but afaik you don't need to set anything else if you donwloaded a ready to use tarball [04:17] dustin_: file a bug or comment on an existing one [04:17] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}: [04:17] to add to your linker path [04:17] cablop, I am using "./firefox-bin" . "./firefox" alone opens the older already installed 3.6 I have [04:17] how to select fastest apt mirror via terminal? [04:18] szal, I dont think its a bug its a feature deletion [04:18] Barnabas, There is one /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.17/libxul.so and one in 3.6 directory [04:18] szal, as in they removed a feature i use when installing [04:20] sosaited then run it ./firefox --no-remote -P and create a new profile then relaunch it this way ./firefox --no-remote -P new_profile_name [04:20] sosaited: why use 2 versions anyway? you could get the Mozilla PPA & install FF4 from apt [04:21] sosaite and if that even keeps failing try the whole command `./firefox --no-remote -P new_profile_name -a new_profile_name` [04:21] szal, i was doing that here, due to some addons not ready for ff4, then i run ff4 and swiftfox 3.6 using different profiles [04:23] aperson you need to edit sources.list then update again [04:23] szal, I want to try it out a bit before I upgrade [04:23] has anyone here had any luck with esata style hard drive docks? [04:23] can i chown and chmod 700 a folder in ntfs? [04:23] sosaited, then use the command i told you, but you are going to need a different profile, you don't want to mess your current one [04:24] cablop➽ I know how to do that, I said I wanted to find the fastest server [04:24] 770 [04:24] so I've set up a vpn tunnel that works with http, ctcp, ping and all... but I can't connect to it via ssh once it's connected. any ideas on how I can remedy this? [04:24] and by connect to it, I mean by internal lan [04:24] aperson, as far as i know, synaptic has this feature [04:24] cablop, Yeah now it ran FF4. Thanks a lot. Maybe it was messing up because I already had 3.6 open [04:25] rumpel_➽ and I'll repeat what I said, I want to find the fastest server via a console [04:25] for my system that has neither synaptic nor a gui [04:25] sosaited, yup, that was, and i suggest you to make a custom ssh, you dfon't want to launch your default ff 3.6 by mistake with the ff4 [04:26] sosaited, you dfo it once, and you'll upgrade your profile making it maybe unusable for the old ff3.6 [04:26] plese give nmap optons for os detection [04:27] or maybe - someone know why i can't connect to IRC servers once the vpn tunnel is active? [04:27] hello! can i ask what is the equivalent of itunes in ubuntu 10.10? [04:27] when installing, what is the significance of "mount point" for creating a partition? [04:28] JuNeX: rythmbox, amarok, banshee and a large etc [04:28] herp, maybe you are setting a gateway via the vpn, and because your real gateway is one and the vpn is another you cannot reliably make a route in the network, but it is just a supposition [04:28] also, how can i assure that there is not a partition created for a "swap" [04:28] MethedMan: the place that partition will be placed in the whole filesystem [04:29] MethedMan: a swa is almost always a partition [04:29] cablop: any way to disable swap from getting installed? [04:29] cablop, Whoa whoa. I don't want to do that. My precious profile is 3 years old migrated from pathetic windows days man . I have to do what? [04:30] cablop: if i want to reserve say 25gb for the OS on one partition and 150 gb on another partition for everything else, what would be the best way to go about doing that [04:30] MethedMan: dunno why yu don't want a swap, but you can manually partition the disk so don't make one [04:30] swap slows down the system and i have enough ram that swap is never actually needed [04:30] MethedMan, Ubuntu uses swap for hibernation. [04:31] derp: good call [04:31] xangua, a very large thank you! :D [04:31] MethedMan: swap barely slow down my netbook, and i have few ram on it... anyway you'll need a swap partition to be able to hibernate [04:31] MethedMan, it doesnt slow down your system, except it has to be used [04:31] I have a monster amount of ram (16gb), i doN,t mind swap space [04:32] hi === root is now known as Guest79685 [04:32] what is cif single chip for webcam? [04:32] is it a good idea to have the OS on one partition and everything else from the /home directory on another? [04:32] i am trying to make a c++ program and that used some bash commands in it i have to use #include right? [04:32] MethedMan, absolutely [04:33] Yep [04:33] anyway MethedMan what i do is the following, i make a boot partition, then a swap partition, 2x or 2.x size of ram, as i said to be able to hibernate, then 25 GB partition for system, then the rest for something called /data [04:33] MethedMan: then i log as root, and move /home inside it, and you can either mount with a bind or symlink the /data/home to the /home [04:34] cablop: so how should i install? should i customize or go with default to start? [04:34] MethedMan: i also use to move the /var/www inside that other partition, and also move mysql databases, postgresql databases and so on [04:34] i have a question. i have the Xine and vlc plug ins installed in firefox. but when i click a video Link for a wmv or a quick time movie. it wont play on the webpage. i have to right click and tell it to open in New tab for it to work. is that Normal? if Not is it easy to correct? [04:35] MethedMan, customize it, if you feel confident enough [04:35] MethedMan: i always do manual partition, and i use minimum those 4 partitions i told you [04:35] tacomaster: why bash? [04:35] MethedMan: how many ram do you have? [04:35] 4gb [04:35] 8gb seems large for swap [04:35] MethedMan, do you sleep or hibernate the machine? [04:35] both [04:36] "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU." what that means? I have to use ubuntu 32 bits? [04:36] then you need the swap [04:36] 5 GB or 6 GB should be fine [04:36] for the swap [04:36] afeijo: that is exactly what it means. [04:36] damn [04:37] cablop: how would you recommend organizing the partition? [04:37] kubu2: to be honest im just messing around with c++ code who knows maybe ill make something worth messing with :P [04:37] another upgrade from mav to unity squeaky clean, it does happen;) [04:37] bastidrazor, I have a brand new dell server, how can that not be 64bits? [04:37] Where can i report a ubuntu bug? [04:37] DCC SEND omgflamingbbqsteakswithpwnsauce!? [04:37] MethedMan: give me some seconds i'll type it all [04:37] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [04:38] cablop: awesome [04:38] ?DCC SEND "trolololololololololololololololol" 0 0 0 [04:38] uname -a tells me that my server is running in 64 bits, so how cant I install a vbox desktop 64 bits? [04:38] Hi all. If I transfer a video from Ubuntu to my TV or to my mp4 player, the video doesn't play. If I do it from Windows it works fine. In PCLINUX there's an app you can install called 'task-multimedia' which solves the problem. Does Ubuntu have something similar or the same? [04:38] wow. [04:39] :/ once I start my vpn connection - I can no longer ssh to that box from my internal lan. Any ideas on how I can remedy this? [04:39] MethedMan: suggestion is: 1st partition primary /boot 100~250MB; 2nd partition primary swap 5~6GB; 3rd partition primary / 25 GB; 4th partition extended, 5th partition logic /whatevernameyouwantforit 150GB (or so) [04:39] herp add exceptions [04:40] dynamic exceptions [04:40] ackt1c: to what? [04:40] i forget unix [04:40] outgoing ip dynamic exceptions [04:40] look it up [04:40] that will help you ssl telnet [04:40] don't stress over it though [04:40] its small fries [04:40] cablop, Can you please tell what exactly you suggested I should do so I don't lose my 3.6 profile :) [04:41] Pirsch: if is not in repository, get the sources an done [04:41] MethedMan: reasons, boot placed at beginning of the disk, meaning no problems to boot it on any board, because bios can reach it, swap the closest possible to beginning of disk, according to my OS teacher at university this is the fastest part of a mechanical hard drive, and last partition in an extended... make things easy if you need to resizze move them [04:42] xangua: sorry, I don't quite understand. I've installed and updated through medibuntu and installed ffmpeg. [04:42] Where can i report a ubuntu bug? [04:42] erfgvthbynjurgik, join launchpad I think [04:43] !bug | erfgvthbynjurgik [04:43] erfgvthbynjurgik: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:43] tried dozens of solutions, still can't get wireless to connect after selecting my wifi connection on EEE PC 1001P on Ubuntu 10.10 [04:43] any help? [04:44] sosaited ok... mmm first backup it xD, then create a custom .sh file that launch that firefox 4 using explicitly the other profile, put the lnes i gave you inside it for that remember the --no-remote, that is needed to start a firefoz not related to the running one, the -P profile name to tell it what profile to run... and -a profile it's an obscure parameter, afaik it makes linux believe... [04:44] ...you are runnig a firefox identified as profile not as firefox... but it's reliability is somehow... well... it seems to work nice on ff3.x but seems useless in ff4 [04:44] Hi, I have a domain registred at Gandi.net, is it possible to configure this domain to use it for xmpp ? thank you [04:44] ackt1c: yea nothing much really came up. I'm not sure you got what i was looking for either. [04:45] bastidrazor, maybe I need to enable something, like the VT, into my vbox? [04:45] ackt1c: lets say I have BOX1 with an active vpn connection via pptp. i want to ssh from box2 to box1 via my internal LAN to *use* that active VPN connection [04:45] cablop: is there something i am missing in ubuntu? it will not let me customize the partition at all. [04:45] afeijo: what does uname -m output? [04:46] bastidrazor, x86_64 [04:46] MethedMan, do you have th swap off [04:46] *the [04:46] cablop: i went to "new partition table" and am trying to "add" and nothing is happening [04:46] #undernet [04:46] MethedMan dunno, if you selected ubuntu to do it for you, then it is doing for you, go one step back and select manual partition [04:46] ah, ok [04:47] hi has anyone used congruity for logitech harmony remote control? [04:47] hi [04:47] afeijo: oh, I bet you don't have the virtualization support enabled [04:47] afeijo: what brand of CPU is it? [04:47] it could be, it happened to me, that i was not selecting the right row in the gui before saying create a new partition === michael is now known as Guest11585 [04:47] tntc, intel [04:47] Hi, I have a domain registred at Gandi.net, is it possible to configure this domain to use it for xmpp ? [04:47] i still get that it is not possible to find devce [04:47] sombody knows how make work a kolke cam with 6 leds and microphone in ubuntu 10.10 [04:47] it could be, it happened to me, that i was not selecting the right row in the gui before saying create a new partition MethedMan [04:47] ? [04:48] afeijo: I think if you open /proc/cpuinfo, it'll tell you what extentions the processor has [04:48] afeijo: I think VT is the one you're looking for [04:48] hey IOAPIC is off in my vbox! I need that on right? === herp is now known as hextasy [04:48] afeijo, not really [04:48] afeijo: I dunno. VBox usually tells you what you need for 64-bit, so maybe? [04:49] cablop: I thought it was required for SMP or 64-bit or something [04:49] afeijo: the extention you're looking for is "vmx" btw [04:49] hello [04:49] hope i keep my name [04:49] afeijo, tntc afaik the necessary think is to expose the pae to the guest [04:49] cablop: what is the point of the 4th and 5th partitions that you specified? [04:50] afeijo: It'll be in the "flags" section [04:50] vmx and pae presents in flag section [04:50] cablop: if it's 64-bit, you don't need PAE [04:50] 5th partition is a logical insside the extended 4th partition, just ease of future maintenance of the disk [04:50] hello [04:50] PAE is on, APIC is on, still error when I try to install ubuntu desktop x64 :( [04:50] tntc you need to enable it on the VM to make the gust 64bits runs well [04:50] damn [04:50] afeijo: can you reboot the box? It might still be disabled in the Bios [04:50] hi, my ATI HD 5500 is heating up at 81oC and the computer is idle... what's up with that? I followed the Natty guideline and just installed the most recent ATI drivers (11.5) from ATI's web page, but the fan is running and the card ever heating [04:50] hi [04:50] hi [04:50] tntc, only tomorrow morning I could do that [04:51] hello [04:51] neb [04:51] no hellos ask the question kids.;) [04:51] afeijo: bummer. I dunno how to check if it's enabled in the BIOS without a reboot either :/ [04:51] tried dozens of solutions, still can't get wireless to connect after selecting my wifi connection on EEE PC 1001P on Ubuntu 10.10, any help? [04:51] MSG [04:51] cablop: should the swap be logical or primary? [04:51] +MSG [04:52] agape [04:52] @msg [04:52] I'll try again tomorrow or just install the 32 bits one [04:52] MethedMan, it doesn't make any difference [04:52] afeijo there's an option that says it exposes the memory or processor allocation of the host to the guest, dunno remember the exact words, you need to enable them in order to make 64 bit oses run inside the vm [04:52] long while without connecting to IRC! [04:52] nebket, do you have a problem? [04:52] should swap partitions be aligned to MiB or none? [04:53] Sterist, none is okay [04:53] MethedMan: do you know the difference between primary and logical, right? in brief the first three are all logical [04:53] judging by your name nit-wit, um... [04:53] yes, is it possible to log into a windows terminal session inside firefox? [04:53] nebket, juding by your lack of being able to make a full sentence mmmmmm.;) [04:53] (just curious) [04:53] anyone know how to set the video card power mode to "low" for an ATI Mobility Radeon HD on natty?? [04:53] MethedMan: in the partition table i suggested you, swap is primary [04:54] I'm just trying to lower my video card's temperature :( [04:54] Sylvie: are you using fglrx or the Radeon driver? [04:54] I already know how to log in another way with remote desktop but I was wondering of firefox will work [04:54] tntc, the Radeon driver (the official xserver-* + the driver from ATI's website [04:54] nebket you are just shortenning things or talking about something so obscure... what are tyou trying to do? [04:54] cablop: the first three are primary i thought. [04:55] MethedMan: right [04:55] how is performance affected if a partition is primary or logical cablop [04:55] I am not being obscure. like the big cheese said "Penguins are always curious, so is linux" [04:55] MethedMan: physical drives just allow 4 partitions, but thereś a trick, an extended partition is a partition able to hold many other partitions, the downside is no logical partition is bootable [04:56] ahem, anyways [04:56] MethedMan: no performance problem, it is just how you can find the partition [04:56] AHEM [04:56] AHEM [04:56] Sterist: I would expect that alignment of swap partitions would be even more important than with normal filesystems. [04:56] MethedMan: logical partitions cannot be bootable, because old bios cannot go beyond the first 4 partitions [04:56] tntc, ... [04:56] excuse m... [04:57] i was won.......... [04:57] i do not see an option for making an extended partion cablop [04:57] Sylvie: the AMD Catalyst display driver, downloaded directly from AMD.com? [04:57] seriously mate, yuk, methedman, ew [04:57] Methed then create the last as logical and ubuntu will make the extended for you [04:57] tntc, hmm... yes :) [04:57] MethedMan: then create the last as logical and ubuntu will make the extended for you [04:57] change your nickname [04:57] nebket: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter. [04:58] nebket: why? [04:58] jordan_u WWJD ? (-_o) [04:58] its stupid [04:58] nebket: try reformulating the sentence, this is what i wanted to mean, i didn't understand your issue, because your sentence seemed too confude for me [04:58] anyway, sorry rww that I went offtopic [04:58] Sterist: ? [04:58] jordan_u what would you do? [04:59] but I was wanting to know if it is possible to have a remote session on a windows server using firefox [04:59] tried dozens of solutions, still can't get wireless to connect after selecting my wifi connection on EEE PC 1001P on Ubuntu 10.10, wifi icon just keeps searching, any help? [04:59] nebket: great reason. do you what it means? [04:59] Sterist: I would align to 1 MiB. [04:59] (windows server 2003, R2) [04:59] nebket: go ask the ##windows folks; whether they have web browser-based terminal services is not something we'd know. [04:59] Sylvie: I'm not sure, but I think you have to enable it on the ATI control panel [04:59] cablop: i think i want there to be 150gb dedicated to /home [05:00] nebket use putty instead if what tyou just need is a terminal [05:00] cablop: should i make this logical partion mount at /home ? [05:00] nebket i don't get the part involving firefox there [05:00] jordan_u you mean 1mb before, 1mb after, and set align to mb? [05:00] pyfon: what kind of wireless card? [05:00] nebket: do you *know what it means? [05:00] tntc, where is that? I don't have the ATI Catalyst control panel anywhere.... even though I installed the driver... the commanded ended with a bunch of lines :) [05:00] Sterist: Align to 1 MiB. [05:00] tntc: Athereos [05:00] how old are you? [05:01] MethedMan you can, but you then have to leave some things like /var/www or databases in the root system, but if that'sok it is the simpliest way to do what you want [05:01] nebket: again, #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter please. [05:01] Sylvie: hrm... I'm not sure about that one. Is there a version of FGLRX in the offical 11.04 repos yet? [05:01] tntc: fglrx has been in Ubuntu's repositories for years. [05:01] Sterist: How much space you have before and after only matters in so much as you end up with 1 MiB alignment for the start. [05:01] fine, i'll p*** off then [05:01] tntc: AR8132 Fast Ethernet to be exact [05:01] rww: yeah, but has it WORKED? [05:01] tntc, I think so, yes [05:02] pyfon: that's a wired nic, isn't it? [05:02] cablop: so should i make another logical partition with say 10gb for /var/www ? [05:02] pyfon: did you find that with lspci? [05:02] should I use fglrx instead of the official amd driver? [05:02] tntc: woops, wrong copy-paste, it's a AR2427 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [05:02] Sylvie: fglrx supposedly /is/ the official amd driver, just packaged for Ubuntu, so I'd say yeah [05:02] MethedMan: but only if you concern a lot about running a web server in your computer, same for the databases, if not, then just ggo ahead with the /home one [05:03] tntc: about as well as fglrx usually does. [05:03] tntc, the natty release said that AMD didn't release their driver soon enough and it couldn't be packaged for Natty (unity) on time, so they recommanded using the AMD.com official driver... i'm confused [05:04] jordan_u could you PM me what's in your /etc/fstab? [05:04] Sylvie: see, that's what I was afraid of. [05:04] :) [05:04] cablop: i do some basic web hosting. where are mysql databases located? [05:05] jordan_u there's an error in mine that didnt clear earlier [05:05] Sylvie: what does "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i fglrx" return? [05:05] Sterist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/608179/ [05:05] pyfon: are there any error messages in dmesg or anything like that? [05:06] can anyone help with 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [05:06] pyfon: and does your network use WPA2? [05:06] i ran the "find" command and see it in /var, /usr, and /etc [05:06] tntc: yes with WPA2 [05:06] tntc: I mean yes to your WPA2 question [05:06] tntc, ... interesting... : [ 15.260] (II) LoadModule: "fglrx" \n [ 15.274] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx [05:06] tntc, I'll reboot now and see if it solves anything (installed fglrx) [05:07] pyfon: there appears to be an open bug about that. Supposedly a fix has been released. But you might have to upgrade to 11.04 for it [05:07] Sylvie: before you do [05:07] MethedMan: well... to move mysql to another partition is somehow complicated [05:07] tntc, ? [05:07] Sylvie: do the same thing, except change fglrx to radeon [05:07] jordan_u seems yours has the mention of an error too.... seems that's more along the lines of "error handling" than an actual error [05:07] tntc, there's a lot of lines :) [05:07] Sylvie: can you pastebin them? [05:08] tntc, hmm.. sure [05:08] tntc: I upgraded to 11.04 and same thing happens, also I had wifi working in 10.10 before upgrading to 11.04, but went back to 10.10 now nothing [05:08] pyfon: very odd... [05:08] cablop: i am not currently doing any work with mysql but will be learning it in a class in the fall [05:08] jordan_u my swap partition keeps going bad after a reboot... stays good on hibernate / resume but reboot kills it [05:08] tntc, http://pastie.org/1908104 [05:09] MethedMan: i think then make the /home partition a little smaller then reserve some space to other things in the future [05:09] tntc: am I doomed? not sure how to trouble shoot this any further === Toph is now known as Guest5970 [05:10] pyfon, have you plugged the puter [05:10] cablop: so i should leave free space? will this automatically be partitioned as primary/extended [05:11] nit-wit: plugged the puter? [05:11] you can partition that later or extend home [05:11] pyfon ethernet [05:11] nit-wit: I'm connected to ethernet now [05:11] MethedMan: for flexible partitioning LVM will be nice, but if your new to linux, this ould be asking you to swim in unknown waters, so just leave that not partitioned, it is not going to harm [05:11] pyfon: I wouldn't say you're doomed [05:12] tntc, ... so? what does it say? [05:12] pyfon: one thing to try would be dropping to wep or open network, just to see if it works [05:12] pyfon, col [05:12] *cool [05:12] Sylvie: your fan is cranking like crazy because you're using the open source "radeon" driver rather than the closed-source fglrx driver [05:12] and the open source radeon driver doesn't have power managment yet. [05:13] pyfon, you can have wicd without removing the ubuntu network manager [05:13] Thus your GPU is running full tilt, and your lap is probably on fire. [05:13] tntc, ok... what do I need to do to fix this? [05:13] Sylvie: well, the driver you downloaded /should have/ fixed it. So I'd try rebooting, to see if fglrx works now [05:13] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a net-book. I would like to share the internet connection my desktop has with my net-book. I've been pouring over countless websites and have found no configuration for my ad hoc network on the Ubuntu side where the Ubuntu computer isn't the one with the ethernet connection. Basically, how do I edit my connection so that Ubuntu gets internet from the wifi connection its connected to. [05:13] if not, we'll troubleshoot the driver issue [05:13] Sylvie: as in , the issue installing it [05:14] tntc, do I need to remove any package to make *sure* fglrx is used? [05:14] Sylvie: I don't /think/ so, but I can't say for sure. Who knows how finnicky the fglrx driver is? [05:14] tntc, alright, testing now [05:14] MethedMan: i have to go [05:15] Sylvie: are you on a different computer? [05:15] tntc, no :) brb [05:15] pyfon: did you try with no wep? [05:15] Sylvie: Good luck! [05:15] Flynn: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ [05:15] cablop: thanks for your help. anything else i should know in the meantime? [05:15] pyfon: with no WPA2, rather? [05:16] Flynn: Or maybe I misunderstand. What OS is running on the Desktop? [05:16] MethedMan: but if you made the latest partition logical, you'll have no rpoblem to add another logical partition in the future... [05:16] cablop: thank you [05:16] MethedMan: no, ubuntu installation will care of the rest from that point, maybe asking you a few things [05:17] Jordan_U: XP [05:17] tntc: I'm about changing it to wep then going to try [05:17] Flynn: No idea then. It's something that I would expect should be properly configured on the side of the machine doing the sharing. Try asking in ##windows. [05:18] pyfon: if it works with WEP, try WPA1. If it works with that, leave it at WPA1, because WEP is easy to crack. [05:18] tntc, the good news is that the video is fine, the bad news is that it's still hot :( [05:18] Sylvie: do the same "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" but this time paste the whole thing. [05:19] Sylvie: To pastebin! Not to channel! XD [05:19] Sylvie: I figure that's obvious, but I want to be safe. [05:19] Jordan_U I can connect to my ad hoc network fine. I just don't have internet with that. It seems (for once) windows is doing it's job. [05:19] i encrypted my "home" drive and am having trouble accessing it from another ubuntu install. [05:19] tntc, of course :P [05:19] anyone kow if nvidia HDMI sound is working in pulseaudio on natty? [05:19] not sure how to login in and decrypt it [05:20] does anyone know how to clone ubuntu after it has been customized? [05:20] Flynn: Windows needs to route packets to the interent, and advertise itself as a default gateway via DHCP. [05:21] Jordan_U what method should I put for IPv4 settings? [05:21] Id10T: Clonezilla does a decent job, thought I think for unix-like drives it does a direct disk to disk image [05:21] tntc, http://pastie.org/1908146 [05:21] tntc, thanks a million [05:21] tntc, looks like fglrx is still not loaded [05:21] Sylvie: yup. fglrx is still not properly installed. Try the installer from AMD.com one more time and see what the errors are [05:21] tntc: didn't fix the issue [05:22] tntc, k === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:22] Id10T: you're quite welcome :) === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest89112 [05:22] pyfon: I actually swore out loud when I read that :/ [05:22] +. [05:23] MethedMan: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html [05:23] tntc: I've been swearing outloud ever 5min with this issue [05:23] pyfon: I bet. I feel your pain. I had the same stuff with a broadcom card. But I have something for you to try! Use wicd instead of network-manager and see if it works. [05:24] tntc: currently installing wicd, hope this works [05:24] tntc, http://pastie.org/1908154 [05:25] Hi guys [05:25] I have a problem with networking [05:25] pyfon: is there anything in dmesg? [05:25] pyfon: related to wifi? [05:25] I can't get it to start basically [05:26] tntc, was it installed or was there an error? I find the message not too clear [05:26] Sylvie: there was an error. It looks like glibc caught something [05:26] :/ [05:26] tntc: it just says "ndiswrapper (mp_reset:64): wlan0 is being reset" over and over again [05:27] my /etc/grub.d is empty, what package should I reinstall to repopulate it? [05:27] ubuntuQ: What type of connection are you trying to establish? [05:27] where are the settings for the new dock/launchbar hidden? [05:27] tntc, alright, I'll try one last thing and hope it will resolve the issue :) bbiaw [05:28] djr013: so basically, I run /etc/init.d/netwoking start and it says Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start networking networking stop/waiting [05:28] Sylvie: do you have ia32-libs installed? [05:28] pyfon: NDISWRAPPER?! That's not right... [05:28] pyfon: that card is supported by ath9k, I thought... [05:28] Peddy: grub-pc [05:29] So it's a wired connection, wicd says I'm connected, but can't browse or ping anything [05:29] tntc: so what do I need to do? [05:29] tntc, don't think so [05:29] Sylvie: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide [05:29] Plus, my card is named eth2 [05:29] thanks Jordan_U, dpkg search wasn't working for some reason. [05:29] Sylvie: check that bit out. there are some packages you need to install. [05:29] ubuntuQ: are you hooked to a router?... does your router show you connected in the manage section? [05:29] pyfon: well, try this: lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [05:30] pyfon: that should tell you if the ndiswrapper module is loaded [05:30] KM0201: oh yes, I totally have perfect connection [05:30] Peddy: dpkg -S only searches packages you already have installed. apt-files search is for packages you don't already have installed. [05:30] another computer works perfectly [05:30] tntc: I get "ndiswrapper 184207 0 " [05:30] ubuntuQ: can you ping the other machine on the network? [05:30] pyfon: "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" should remove it [05:31] pyfon: then "sudo modprobe ath9k" should install the right driver. [05:31] Jordan_U, ah, that explains it. Thanks! [05:31] Peddy: You're welcome. [05:31] oieee [05:31] tntc, I was on the right track (I uninstalled xserver-ati-* :)) [05:31] Sylvie: you shouldn't /have/ to do that, IIRC [05:32] tntc: ran both those commands, nothing ouputed, is that expected? [05:32] Sylvie: but the important bit is the prerequisite packages [05:32] pyfon: yes. [05:32] don't understand yours [05:32] try your wireless now [05:32] tntc, well, yes, I'll just run these commands (less wget since I already have that 76MB file) [05:32] Sylvie: k! [05:32] pyfon: also, see if iwconfig says anything [05:32] i from brazil [05:32] KM0201: I'm running it basically in a vm, but can't ping the router nor the host [05:33] pyfon: "iwconfig" in a console should show up with wlan0 or something [05:33] but other linux vm's with the same configuration work perfectly [05:33] helṕ me [05:33] ubuntuQ: you're running it "basically in a vm" or you're running it "in a vm".. [05:33] in a vm [05:33] sorry [05:34] it's a full installation [05:34] peolple [05:34] !ubuntu-br [05:34] people help my system not open [05:34] huh. what's the thing for sending someone to brazil support? [05:34] yes from brazil [05:35] ubuntuQ: if you can't ping the router nor the host, then there's something going on w/ your vm set up... what virtual software are you using? [05:35] tntc: "lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions." with iwconfig [05:35] megalinux: #ubuntu-br I think!

[05:35] Jordan_U: thanks! :) [05:35] tntc: You're welcome :) [05:35] ubuntuQ: i don't have any experience w/ vmware, but you need to go through the network settings on vmware... thats the only logical explanation [05:35] Good afternoon, Ubuntu people [05:35] pyfon: so it didn't detect the driver... [05:35] I'm backing up an old hard drive and copying about 300GB of files. It had about 50GB left when I got a kernel panic and now I want to resume the copying. Is there a way to do this in Ubuntu? (A don't copy if file already exists but copy all files that don't already exist argument?) [05:36] KM0201: it's using same configuration as the every other vm, but it doesn't work [05:36] or rather, the driver didn't detect the card. But it should for that model! Weird. [05:36] tntc: also no connections are showing up anymore in wcid, when they were before i removed ndiswarpper [05:36] #ubuntu-br [05:36] #ubuntu-br [05:36] pyfon: well, if you're using NDISWrapper for that card, you need the windows driver to plug into NDISWrapper [05:36] but if there's an easy way to change the upstart script to use eth2 instead of whatever default name it has to start networking or change eth2 to the name upstart uses [05:37] megalinux: "/join #ubuntu-br" [05:37] Hi, I have a problem with graphics drivers.

There is a language barrier to helping him join as well.

All I did was delete the fodler that had the cookies. it's still saving the cookies, but not loading them. [05:51] pyfon: XD Awesome! does lsmod | grep ath9k return anything? [05:51] Would someone mind asking the bot about Firefox 4 PPA? I can't recall command [05:51] !fx4 [05:51] Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [05:51] pyfon: also check for ndiswrapper again [05:52] Thanks rww [05:52] hrm, doesn't Ubuntu 11.04 do firefox 4? [05:52] Israfel, have you run the arrow in the right end of the http window to reload the page and see if they work [05:52] looks like [05:52] rww; yes .. But unsure if it's latest stable (of the dev team) [05:52] !ff4 =~ s/Current versions of Ubuntu/Versions of Ubuntu before 11.04/ [05:52] I'll remember that rww [05:52] Israfel, thats FF not sure of chromium [05:53] tnct: nothing for ath9k, "ndiswrapper 184207 0" for ndiswraper [05:53] how do this? and where? [05:53] nit-wit, yes, I can leave the page and come back and it's still active, but if I close the browser and reopen it, it won't log me in. [05:53] not understand [05:53] pyfon: funky. it's using NDISwrapper still. [05:53] megalinux_: in the place you are typing now, type /join #ubuntu-br [05:53] There is no natty package on the PPA :( So no point [05:53] nit-wit, Testing FF now. [05:53] tntc: but at least it works...should I just leave it alone? also should I keep wicd or network manager? [05:53] thegoodcushion, the problem still stays. The artifacts on screen have not changed after reinstall and restart. [05:54] tntc, well, I finally have my ATI Catalyst center :) I had to activate the ATI driver in jockey then update the ATI driver from the generated .deb package (from the page your provided) [05:54] Israfel, if you go there cold, it does let you login if you reload then and try does it. [05:54] bsajsb: then they're probably not from that driver [05:54] Israfel, reload mens while still on the login page, don't leave [05:55] bsajsb: could you pastebin a screenshot? [05:55] but I tried and get nothing [05:55] Israfel, I meant does not login sorry [05:55] pyfon: We got a saying where I come from: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" :) [05:55] thegoodcushion, when I try aticonfig it says "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected" [05:55] Sylvie: is it quiet and cool now? [05:55] tntc, the window movement is not as smooth, but web scrolling is not choppy, and the 3d test works... and fan is *finally* silent :) (well, a lot more than what it used to be!) [05:55] Sylvie: for smoothness, see if you can turn on sync to vblank [05:56] tntc, sensors doesn't return the GPU temp anymore :( [05:56] nit-wit, Not sure what you're asking. Seems FF doesn't work either. [05:56] Sylvie: not even in the control center? that's a bummer. [05:56] hi. I can't read dual layer dvds, why? [05:56] how can I set the tty resolution?

[05:59] afroman, is it a dual reader dvd reader [05:59] bsajsb: reboot and try it again [05:59] afroman: perhaps it is not a dual layer reader [05:59] nit-wit, Everything works as it should so long as I don't close the browser.

I was making sure you had it on :) [06:00] Israfel, thats my best [06:00] afroman, is it palying one side [06:00] *playing [06:00] nprice: i'm just guessing may be he has an old one [06:00] thegoodcushion, no segmentation fault if I run the command with sudo [06:00] nit-wit: what do U mean 1 side? [06:00] bsajsb: what's the output? [06:00] Sylvie: Bumblebee is a project by this guy to make NVIDIA Optimus work on Ubuntu. I can to optirun32 or optirun64 and run apps on the NVIDIA card rather than the intel one. He's still working on integrating power managment, otherwise I'd just have to turn the intel card off. [06:00] Reku: no, i mean *EVERY* [06:00] err [06:01] er, the NVIDIA card off. [06:01] thegoodcushion, nothing [06:01] afroman can the dvd paly at all [06:01] bsajsb: type sudo aticonfig --initial [06:01] reedyseth: no, i mean *EVERY* - all dvd movies are dual-layer...

[06:01] afroman, cool just phishing for clues.;) [06:01] tntc, it's all good news :) I sell Ubuntu all around me, and it saddens to see video problems :( [06:01] thegoodcushion, "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected" [06:01] nit-wit: not at all... it doesn't even find the dvd [06:01] nprice: so then his dvd reader doesn't work [06:02] bsajsb: okay. Try purging and reinstalling fglrx [06:02] afroman, how about any disc? [06:02] tntc, thanks again. I'll be back when I need some more help :) [06:02] bsajsb: so completely remove fglrx, reboot, then install again and reboot [06:02] Sylvie: no problem! Good luck! [06:02] thegoodcushion, okay [06:02] thanks! [06:02] bsajsb: are you on 11.04 by the way? [06:02] nit-wit: other discs work fine: dvds, cds,... [06:03] thegoodcushion, yes on 11.04 [06:03] ok. The screenshot looks like it [06:03] nit-wit: actually I havent tried blu rays [06:03] afroman, the dvd work on other computers? [06:04] nit-wit: ya. it works even on win7 on the same pc [06:04] afroman, now see that is key information.;) [06:04] ;) [06:04] lets go to google [06:05] Can I install ubuntu or any linux distro on Macbook pro 13" 2011 [06:06] Zeeofu: yep [06:06] Zeeofu: 10.04 or 11.04 would both work well [06:07] <_Rix> hey is it possible to edit a file from terminal [06:07] afroman, I don't see much I wonder if it just the disk what is the disk manufacturer [06:08] _Rix, yeah, i would think so. should just be able to cd to the dir. and go from their. [06:08] afroman, probably does not matter since you have it working in W7 [06:08] <_Rix> without having to open an editor, i_is_broke [06:08] nit-wit: media range [06:09] ah, thats like important info. lol [06:09] <_Rix> :P [06:09] _Rix, what type of file?

[06:28] yo i cant get anything to install because of generic [06:28] thisisweird: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Notably, it is not for Backtrack Linux support (see #backtrack-linux) or random nonsense.

[06:29] Wow [06:29] disappeardng: and u tried reinstalling apt-get too? [06:29] su- [06:29] via aptitude [06:29] takes controol [06:29] cant install redhat [06:29] thisisweird: Have a nice day. [06:30] is backtrack a diff distro or something? [06:30] gigah: It's an unofficial derivative of Ubuntu. [06:31] do u think xubuntu would be too steep of a learning curve for a non-linux/newbie user? [06:31] hi all [06:31] i have old hardware for my wife, ubuntu 10.04 LTS now, and she likes the speed [06:32] im thinking xubuntu is the logical extension [06:32] I followed the mac guide to do syndaemon -i 2 -t -d but then ubuntu is telling me No synaptics properties on device 'bcm5974'. (to disable the trackpad). What does that even mean [06:32] im just worried about the 'user unfriendlyness' for a newbie [06:32] does that make any sense? [06:32] disappearedng, try sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:32] and dpkg-reconfigure --all [06:33] but that will reconfig everything [06:33] i_is_broke I reinstalled ruby 1.9.2 and everything works [06:33] and is probably overkill [06:33] are you talking about No synaptics properties on device 'bcm5974'. [06:33] gigah: I feel confortable working with Ubuntu 10.04, the newers versions seems to be focus totally to the other operating system [06:33] disappearedng, no its to fix your apt-get problem. [06:34] reedyseth: so no on xubuntu then? stick w/ ubuntu? [06:34] (another reason i choose ubuntu or say kubuntu is ease of googling answers) [06:34] i love google.:D [06:34] its my hero [06:34] whats your alternative to ubuntu ? [06:34] i love this channel, sometimes u need a human [06:35] hudo: was asking about xubuntu for a newbie [06:35] (wifey) [06:35] hudo, sorry. i dont have one. [06:35] actually I haven't tried the newers version of kubuntu, but the newers version are trying to limit it o little [06:35] gigah, you got that right.lol [06:35] reedy: what u mean? [06:35] by 'limit' [06:36] btw, chrome is SO stupid fast on 10.04 [06:36] im in love [06:37] reedyseth, you can do anything in ubuntu that you can do in the more pain in the butt ones. you just have to open a terminal and proceed. [06:37] yeah apt-get is fixed [06:37] I used to install the lamp server by synaptic and now you have to install an alternate programm to install this and other packages. Also you can't personalize the GDM as I used in the older versions [06:37] disappearedng, ;) [06:37] disappeardng: what was the fix?! [06:37] gigah: can you get my point? [06:38] reinstalled ruby 1.9.2 [06:38] btw, apt-get dpkg was seg faulting on me yesterday, i ended up just doing a reinstall [06:38] cause it was from anotehr PPA [06:38] which had dep problems [06:38] reedy: oh yes. on windows, i love xampp [06:38] disappear: how did u konw it was ruby that was the problem? [06:39] see you guys !! [06:39] anyone know why I seem to be missing glibconfig.h on my new install? [06:40] RenaKunisaki: is it supposed to come with glibconfig.h by default? [06:41] quiescens, I imagine so. my previous install (x86) had it, and various programs are failing to compile because of not being able to find it [06:42] RenaKunisaki: well, that particular header file should be in the package libglib2.0-dev [06:42] which is not installed by default [06:42] yes, I have that installed [06:42] in general: how do u look up which package a certain lib or header is contained in? [06:43] RenaKunisaki: then something isn't looking for it in the right place for some reason I guess [06:43] gigah: i usually use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [06:43] update LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [06:43] yeah, I did just find it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h but it looks like the compiler isn't looking there [06:43] /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h:34:24: fatal error: glibconfig.h: No such file or directory === rgr is now known as Guest20310 [06:44] rena: what are you using to compile?

[06:45] on your gcc call? [06:45] or g++ call [06:45] your compiler call [06:45] somewhere in your Makefile [06:46] there should be a INCLUDE_DIR [06:46] and/or LIB_DIR [06:46] ahh. I forgot to re-run ./configure when I moved it from the old system >.> [06:46] RenaKunisaki: yeah [06:46] which will be a cvs or colon seperated list of dirs [06:46] RenaKunisaki: i was about to say, ./configure should complain about header files, not make [06:46] oh heh [06:46] I'm having an issue with /etc/hosts too. basically nothing seems to be looking at it [06:47] anyone familiar with syndaemon === rgr is now known as Guest18444 [06:47] I get an NXDOMAIN response back from my router and that's it, it gives up looking [06:47] RenaKunisaki: what are you using to look it up?

If you start two processes from different terminals, the 2.6.38 autogrouping will probably make nice have no effect at first [06:58] ybtKyKVY: I was not aware of 'autogrouping', I'll have to look into it.

[07:00] djr013: yes, nice will only priorizise processes in the same process group. you can put boinc into a different process group and give it a smaller share to get a similar effect === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:01] djr013: you could also disable autogroup and everything should be back to normal. :) sysctrl kernel.sched_autogroup_enabled=0 or put it in /etc/sysctl.conf [07:02] ybtKyKVY: Sounds complicated. :P Do you have a good reference on it within easy reach?

[07:27] @Rena - still there... :( [07:27] weird [07:28] DasEi: I have installed htop here many processes are running which one to kill...please can u help me to find out the pit [07:28] sunny_: you dont need to modify anything to install apt-mirror in ubuntu [07:28] I am gonna upload a screenshot [07:28] sunny_: sarge is debian, lsb_release -a tell which ubuntu [07:28] just so if anyone else experiences it and it gets figured out it'll be known [07:29] venkatesh: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && htop | pastebinit , then... [07:30] also, have the msttcorefonts installed [07:30] so it's not that [07:30] HeColdFeet: I am using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS codename: lucid. So, is there any modification required. I mean what changes are required if I just want to download packages related to this version. [07:30] venkatesh: press q to stop htop, give url here or pm me it [07:30] HeColdFeet: one more thing, can i download 64bit while using 32bit version. [07:30] Hi. I'm in the process of eyecandying my desktop and would like to use the icons that Gnomes menu uses in cairo-dock. Where can I find the images? [07:31] sunny_: just edgy in the examples with lucid, and yes apt-mirror downloads 32 and 64-bit both [07:32] HeColdFeet: I just want 64 bit and not 32 bit and .deb package specific to this version. [07:33] @Rena - http://www.oopsoup.com/images/strange.jpe [07:33] that is what the text is doing [07:33] sunny_: you cant upgrade a 32 to 64 bit, fresh install required [07:33] not always one letter either [07:33] sunny_: you can select the required versions, just check the man page for apt-mirror [07:33] it picks random letters [07:33] totally weird [07:34] DasEi: I am not upgrading, I just want to configure local repository 64bit for my office [07:34] ah, ic [07:34] Falkon303, does that happen with other fonts? [07:34] HeColdFeet: Ok, I am checking now [07:34] :) [07:34] hmmm [07:34] let me check [07:34] interesting thought [07:34] venkatesh: ? url ? [07:34] I had changed the default fonts of FF [07:34] but let me check that [07:35] DasEi : one sec [07:35] update manager does not seem to be notifying me automatically on 11.04 is this a known problem? [07:36] sunny_: replace the deb in the configuration files to deb-amd64 or deb-i386 [07:36] OMFG!!!!! Ubuntu sux!! Winblows sux worse!!! All computers are blackholes where all logic and ease of use gets sucked into nothingness!!!

[07:39] then exit with q, venkatesh [07:39] oh, i see. Yeah, come to think of it it doesn't show for me either. [07:39] ok....i have exited ...next what should i do [07:39] venkatesh: give url here or in a pm [07:39] blake yeah i installed 11.04 and then thought hey i have not seen update manager so I ran it and sure enough it had a ton of updates for me [07:40] I guess they forgot to send it to that new bar thing in 11.04 [07:40] HeColdFeet: you mean I need to make the said change in /etc/apt/mirror.list [07:40] sunny_: yes [07:41] past my bedtime night all [07:41] HeColdFeet: But in this file there is no deb-amd64 or deb-i386. this file contains deb and deb-src only [07:41] A hacker could wirelessly right now hack my computer and steal my internet connection!!

[07:47] bychance?

[07:48] sunny_: please check page 3 of the guide, it shows how to install from your mirror and how to use it [07:49] venkatesh: bad format. other apprroach : gnome-volume-manager [07:49] How do I know if I have the right driver for my network card/wireless adapter? Just because it works does that make it right?

[07:49] * YankDownUnder thinks that venkatesh might have rhythmbox running in the background... [07:50] or amarok or vlc or [07:50] HeColdFeet: yes, I have already read, after reading I posts, what I understood. [07:50] DasEi, Same difference...but still, running in the background... [07:50] venkatesh: use applications-tab, where is the sound coming from ? you can test-mute all to find out [07:51] thanx Yank [07:51] dang [07:51] I can't seem to find what fonts firefox is calling [07:51] DasEi : ok..... [07:51] Falkon303, Um...have you tried the Firefox "config" page? (in the URL field, type: about:config) [07:52] venkatesh: which app produces the sound ? [07:52] yes I have [07:52] I changed the default fonts [07:52] I need arial to display though [07:52] I do web dev [07:52] HeColdFeet: One more thing, I already have some .deb packages so can which were downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives while I was updating /installin packages, so can I copy them to /var/spool/apt-mirror. [07:52] I suppose I coudl reinstall arial [07:52] *could [07:52] Falkon303, I've not seen yer issue with the exception of having the wrong vid driver and bad font settings...otherwise, all been smooth... [07:52] HeColdFeet: One more thing, I already have some .deb packages which were downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives while I was updating /installin packages, so can I copy them to /var/spool/apt-mirror. [07:53] YankDownUnder - did you see the screenshot then>? [07:53] I'm thinking of returning my wireless usb adapter and eating a bunch of money and buying the router I can find with the longest range. What's a well supported one for computers using ubuntu desktop. [07:53] Falkon303, Seen it before. As per my last comment. [07:53] hmm... [07:53] possible I have the wrong vid driver [07:53] it is Nvidia [07:54] :| [07:54] lemme check for my desktop fx [07:54] A router is a router - regardless of your desktop OS. Getting a better antennae is always a good idea - then again, troubleshooting your adapter is even better. [07:54] DasEi: : "/usr/bin/pulseaudio --strat --log--target=syslog" i killed this process from htop and the background sound stopped [07:54] sunny_: well apt-mirror has a command to copy local files to your mirror folder, again man page is your friend as I don't remember the command [07:54] Falkon303, If you've got an nVidia card, double check your driver's settings (sudo nvidia-settings) - then check your font settings - smoothing and DPI and the likes in your Appearance preferences.... [07:55] HeColdFeet: ok, but apt-mirror man is not helpful, it has very short discription. [07:55] venkatesh: k, but that was the sound daemon asa whole (proxy), that was not the origin of it, like sudo killall vlc, fine then [07:55] YankDownUnder - sudo nvidia-settings does nothing [07:55] but my desktop fx work [07:56] I have subpixel smoothing [07:56] just changed it to "best shapes" [07:57] sunny_: ok found it, you have to use apt-move to move local files to your mirror folder [07:57] YankDownUnder, I set up my wireless network using XP. I click on the network manager and select my ad hoc network and I just see lines going up the icon.... After 3 days of working on it. Googling, chating, googling more... [07:57] YankDownUnder - not the font settings [07:57] HeColdFeet: ok, let me check this command [07:57] still there [07:57] :/ [07:57] Anyone in the age group 13-15 ? [07:58] sunny_: you have to use apt-move update [07:58] !ot > Boni [07:58] Boni, please see my private message [07:58] HeColdFeet: ok [07:59] Falkon303, If you don't have the "nvidia-settings" control panel, mate, I'll say you've not got the right nvidia driver. [08:00] YankDownUnder - I changed my "application font" from ubuntu to arial and the problem isn't showing yet [08:00] Flynn, A router is a router, regardless of the OS on any of the machines in your network. Your router has a configuration page available via web/browser -> have you tried this yet mate? Have you read up on your router and how to actually configure it? [08:00] firefox may have used the default application font as the default browser font perhaps [08:00] ? [08:01] going to relaunch FF to see [08:01] What is ff? [08:02] Firefox to a lazy person [08:02] I've been using Chrome and I think it's much better [08:02] srry falkon [08:02] Firefox to a lazy, inaccurate person. The real abbreviation is Fx :( [08:02] that's your real abbreviation [08:02] I liek mine better [08:02] the issue with chromium it is not 100% complient yet. Some sites will simply not work [08:02] # [08:02] It's Mozilla's real abbreviation ;) [08:03] I have to cross-browser test or I wouldn't use any of them [08:03] browserlab saves me alot of headaches lately though [08:03] YankDownUnder, I've had this router for a long time and never had a problem. My netbook connects fine. My desktop connects fine. Even my nintendo wii connects fine. But, trying to share my desktops wired connection via wifi, just not working. [08:03] rww, I am guessing you are over 35 [08:04] alw it falkon, thats deep [08:05] can I add a file to etc/apache2/conf.d with code to tell apache to parse html as php? [08:05] Flynn: For some stupid reason my NIC will work on Windows but not Ubuntu [08:05] Flynn, "Share your desktops wired connection via wifi" => well, mate, that certainly explains alot. Why aren't you allowing the router to do all that for you? Ya know, the KISS principle? (Keep it simple, stupid) ?? [08:05] I don't like you rww, please don't talk to me anymore [08:05] mattypants y would you want to do that? [08:05] just keep php to php files [08:06] php is my hot girlfriend [08:06] I love her very much [08:06] YankDownUnder, my router's wireless signal is weak. [08:06] Falkon303: let's not go there, thanks. [08:06] thr01, for shigs and gittles [08:07] mattypants : not really sure how you would do it but im sure there is an apache config that changes associations [08:08] Flynn, Um...cheap new antennae (that's what I did to boost a cheapo wireless here - didn't want to buy a new one, so found an antennae that boosted gain, resolved the issue) => aside from that, there are all the "iw" tools for tweaking your wifi card in your box => they're all either installed already or easily installed at the drop of a hat... [08:08] YankDownUnder - The problem seemed to be fixed by changing the default application font from Ubuntu to Arial [08:08] at least for me [08:08] was a font issue. [08:08] thr01, there is, but you can keep your own seperate in that dir [08:08] Falkon303, Hmmm...well, cool - resolved...still strange...(and God, do I hate arial - or anything patented/copyrighted by Microsoft) [08:09] thegoodcushion, that's because no one has figgured out how to make computers just work yet. [08:09] I might redownload the ubuntu font [08:09] or make one when I am super bored [08:09] Falkon303, Why not just use something free...or just nicer looking - like the Mac fonts...ahem... :) [08:09] Hello! :D [08:09] mattypants : normally i would help you to research this, but seems i need to leave (actually already 20mins somehow) good luck with this crazy plan [08:09] because Mac is the great Satan [08:10] Falkon303, And Microsoft ain't? Hmmm... [08:10] I need some help regarding installing Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop [08:10] there is something wrong with someone who wears a turtleneck that often [08:10] Falkon303, Yeah - the bloke is dying - duh...

[08:11] dsbilling, what is your definition of a load screen there are two before the desktop [08:12] *possibilities [08:12] the Ubuntu and the dots :P [08:12] YankDownUnder - people die every second, that doesn't mean they should all be wearing turtlenecks.

[08:12] along with the rest of the silly comments. [08:12] dsbilling, hold down the shift at powering on form that gui what happens [08:12] *from [08:13] no laughing allowed in a community based OS.... [08:13] What? :/ [08:13] awesome.

[08:14] What do you use command-line utility for transporting files? I have used sftp and scp now, but It is not perfect for me because there is no auto-completion. [08:14] blank screen or errors? [08:14] Is there any kind of anti-virus for ubuntu? [08:14] !antivirus | Boni [08:14] Boni: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [08:15] !antivirus [08:15] Bonds, bitdefender [08:15] dsbilling, Sometimes there's more to the picture than meets the eye. Was the CD/DVD burnt properly? Is the actual CD/DVD drive clean? (Have you run a cleaner through it?) [08:15] DasEi : did it causes any problem [08:15] hi guys, having some fun getting Upstart job going. [08:15] Boni; bitdefender [08:15] Anyone know about the status of python, and virtualenv? I am reading that it is messy in ubuntu? Does this 2008 post still apply http://groups.google.com/group/python-virtualenv/browse_thread/thread/1412994580f0a2c6 ? [08:15] nothing came up when typing !antivirus [08:15] is there a better channel for Upstart stuff, or okay to ask here? [08:16] venkatesh: you killed all sound with that, for this session [08:16] Boni, someone will probably start making viruses for Linux soon though. [08:16] Yank, I have tried 3 different CD/DVD with both 32 and 64bit. and i just tried 32bit on a usb.... [08:17] maruq: there is #upstart [08:17] Flynn, Making a "virus" for linux/unix/BSD is not an easy proposition. There are approximately 13 "viruses" for linux/unix/BSD, but they cannot survive in the "wild". It's the nature of the architecture. [08:17] dsbilling I would try the alternate cd [08:17] any problem ...if i do that [08:17] tsimpson: thanks, I'll give that a try ;p [08:17] Flynn: Boni: There have already been viruses written for Linux but they can't propagate like they do on other platforms because of Linux's security model. [08:17] DreamPCs where do i find that? :P [08:18] uew gies evar hrd ov python? [08:18] dsbilling, Before doing all kinds of stuff that may NOT work, clean your CD/DVD drive, and then re-try burning the ISO image. If that doesn't work, move on to other possible resolutions. Sometimes it's the simple things that cause the most problems. [08:18] i found it [08:18] does anyone know where the settings are for the auto-resize windows when you move them close to screen edges? It is frickin' annoying and I want to either disable it or get a modifier key I can press to avoid it. [08:18] doesn't mean they won't figgure it out. Mac used to say they don't get viruses. [08:18] Is it true, that next Ubuntu version will use Gnome 3? [08:19] is there a #ubuntu-unewb chan? [08:19] sirex: no, they've decided on Unity for now. :( [08:19] Flynn, OSX gets "backdoors" through the browser(s). [08:19] sigh [08:19] I have burned 3 discs with 2 different computers. [08:19] What is ubuntu working on for the next LTS version [08:19] dsbilling, Ok...so have you tried cleaning the drive? [08:20] blake, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/expected-changes-in-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html <- it says, that oneiric will use Gnome 3. [08:20] Flynn: probably new themes [08:21] sirex: yes, Oneiric will use Gnome3 [08:21] no, one of the computers is under 1 month old... [08:21] tsimpson: Interesting. Then why the switch to Unity for 11.04? [08:21] Flynn: Viruses written for mac suffer the same fate... They *can* survive and cause some damage to an infected system, but propagation is where they usually fail. And if a virus can't propagate, its widespread affect is quite minimal. [08:21] woat, that seems lame. why not preinstalled windows file sharing? Animated backgrounds? Or making it faster? [08:22] blake: unity does not replace gnome, it's just a "shell" [08:22] Ok, viruses on macs is off topic. === aknm is now known as monk [08:23] !php [08:23] PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [08:23] woat : #ubuntu-beginners ? [08:23] sirex: Mark Shuttleworth was saying they're going to ditch GNOME in 11.10 [08:23] YankDownUnder. Any other ideas? :) [08:23] so that's interesting [08:23] Flynn: You are the one who mentioned Mac in the first place! :) [08:23] thegoodcushion: don't be silly [08:24] Flynn: ...but you're right, it's off-topic for this channel. [08:24] tsimpson: I'm not [08:24] dsbilling, Are you even getting any kind of graphic when you're booting to the CD? [08:24] tsimpson: someone found an archived email in which he said it recently === onthebench_ is now known as onthebench === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [08:24] YankDownUnder. yeah, i get the keyboard = help logo thingy. after that...nothing. [08:25] thegoodcushion: then someone read it wrong, Ubuntu will use Gnome3 in 11.10, so it's obviously not ditching it [08:25] dsbilling, Hit "Esc" => you should get a grub boot menu .... yeah? [08:25] let me try [08:25] tsimpson: how much does Unity obscure GNOME? [08:25] ditch gnome? [08:25] tsimpson: see, I don't want to use something that's not default [08:25] does that mean you wont be able to run classic [08:25] i just run classic in 11.045 [08:25] 11.04 [08:26] ameriserf: that's what Shuttleworth's email said [08:26] tsimpson: I want GNOME to be the default thing. That's why I'm thinking of debian [08:26] That worked, YankDownUnder [08:26] * YankDownUnder thinks Ubuntu should move to Enlightenment [08:26] thegoodcushion: it's just a shell, it's still gnome and you can change to the "classic" shell too [08:26] dsbilling, Right oh...so then hit ENTER, and watch carefully... [08:26] ehsy fif iy dsy? [08:26] what did it say? [08:26] that you wont be able to run classic anymore? [08:26] oh [08:26] nvrmind [08:26] ameriserf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:27] "Try Ubuntu without installing"? [08:27] wtf im banned from #ununtu on freenode [08:27] im not flooding [08:27] what is the biggest irc network besides efnet? [08:27] freenode? [08:27] ameriserf: don't use the enter key as punctuation [08:27] what the hell does that mean? [08:28] Silly question: I see four Wine packages in the software center... which one is the recommended one? (package name if possible) [08:28] !enter [08:28] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:28] YankDownUnder, "Try ubuntu without installing" ? :P [08:28] what is the biggest irc network besides efnet? [08:28] sik: the one called "wine" [08:29] OK [08:29] Thanks [08:29] Now Unity is written on top of compiz, but if they decided to use Gnome 3, maybe now Unity will move to mutter? [08:29] dsbilling, Well...that seems the safe option....however, do you see the other option that says, "Install a Microsoft Operating System so that you ruin your life." ? :) [08:29] Anyone know how to install, configure and get Citrix xenapp web plugin to work in ubuntu? [08:29] YankDownUnder, yeah i see it at the bottom! :P [08:29] ameriserf: this channel is for ubuntu support, you can ask those kinds of questions in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:31] YankDownUnder, nothing happens... [08:31] :( [08:31] ? [08:31] wow this is a scrict channel [08:32] dsbilling, You might try all this again - same basic start, but you can try out some options for the kernel parameters => see if that can get you past "the hump" as it were...is there anything strange about this particular machine? Like does it have an ATI graphics card or something oddly similar? [08:32] Scrict Channel? Hmmm...didn't know that... [08:32] well it has over 1500 users; if you don't enforce the rules pretty heavily you'd end up with chaos in no time === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:32] oh its one of the largest channels I saw, on google now, sorry [08:32] It got a ATI Graphics card...

[09:20] beta0x64: what will that command do ?

[10:24] definity: the NVIDIA site lists which cards are supported by which dirver versions [10:25] sunny_: It make diffrence if you updating dozen of machines (it reduce used bandwith around tenfold) [10:25] i am on the website http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7600.html and it dont say nothing about the drivers [10:25] definity: nvidia.com >> linux link/seach linux [10:25] go from there [10:26] alguem sabe um bom editor de video para linux??

[10:32] heh did ubottu respond automatically to the Chinese text or was that just severe lag? [10:32] 你们都是哪里的people阿 [10:32] channel for libreoffice [10:33] ? [10:33] #libreoffice [10:33] thanks [10:33] would be a good guess. [10:34] cube, When u enter ur username, u could see the themes at the bottom [10:34] u can change it from there [10:34] ok cube? [10:35] Boni: yes tried them all, to no avail [10:36] Then u must have installed a modified version of ubuntu like pinguy OS [10:36] It must be normal [10:36] Cannot be changed [10:36] cube? [10:37] Hi all [10:37] In Lucid I had a SIP Plugin in Evolution. Now it's gone in 11.04, where is it? How can I regain it? [10:37] Boni: xubuntu [10:38] Oh my bad, it's not evolution but empathy ^^ [10:39] hello, i've just upgraded ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 and as soon as grub screen should be visible i get "no signal" from my monitor. My other system (after i blindly go to it through grub) works, what may be wrong ? is there any way to unupgrade ubuntu ? (i didn't know 11.04 isn't stable) [10:40] guest: there is no way to go back. [10:41] guest: 10.10 is also a STS version, just like 11.04. 11.04 will become stable soon just like 10.10 [10:41] ok, thanks [10:41] guest: try using the nomodeset option when ur booting [10:41] had the same problem with 10.10 and that helped me fix it [10:42] is there a key combo to close applications or return to desktop? [10:42] thanks helloEARTH [10:42] hi, I'm trying to fix thunderbird's broken (US) date notation, I probably need to (re)configure my locale setting. How/where can I do that? [10:43] is there a way to permanently enable indirect rendering in Unity? [10:43] Sterist: alt-f4 to close application, and super+D to show desktop, was that what ur looking for? [10:43] helloearth super? [10:44] win ker [10:44] key [10:44] windows key on keyboard [10:44] we just dont like using that name. haha [10:44] helloEARTH+1 [10:44] xD [10:45] that key has yet to work for me [10:47] Hey guys. I came here because #samba is literally dead. Does anyone know how to get nautilus to detect my samba share properly? [10:47] it's seeing "localhost" but when I double click it on it says "Failed to retrieve share list from server" [10:48] when I type in my ip manually "smb://192.168.1.108" it works [10:48] http://www.picturegoer.net/images/BenTurpinMar20.jpg [10:51] Raptors: add it to /etc/fstab and do a mount -a [10:51] DasEi, that's not really the prob. I want it to be detected properly under network [10:51] :| [10:51] is it possible to install mac drivers on ubuntu? [10:51] sicne there both linux [10:51] what? [10:51] definity: both of those statements are incorrect :-) [10:52] i thought mac is darwin, which is linux [10:52] what was the kernel version what that split happened...? [10:53] * Dr_Heckle doesn't know [10:53] definity: darwin is unix, not linux. [10:53] Raptors: which distro ? [10:53] definity: specifically, it's descended from the BSD part of the family tree. [10:53] oh shit [10:53] definity: mac is leopard OS , which is not linux [10:54] does anyone have any good alternatives to virtualbox? [10:54] I just booted a computer after a motherboard swap. It has two raid arrays running over the same 4 disks. The raid5 array apparently resynced and is now working. The raid1 array is working but degraded with only 2 of the 4 disks. [10:54] andeeeuk: vmware [10:54] all disks seem to have some smart errors on bootup but nothing else [10:54] Raptors: which distro ? [10:54] but its backbone is UNIX [10:54] gentoo [10:54] does vmware work on ubuntu? [10:54] any ideas on what this could be and how to repair the raid1 array? [10:54] :| [10:55] andeeeuk: yes! it has a cool unity mode too [10:55] Raptors: which distro are u using ? lsb_release -a tells you [10:55] ohhh nice one!! thanks! [10:55] DasEi, Gentoo [10:55] What ! [10:55] Well Funtoo but it's pretty much Gentoo [10:55] dammit, i doubt im gonna get ym sound card to work then [10:56] do you install VMware toolbox from the software centre? [10:56] Raptors: #ubuntu here, ask in ##linux instead then, might (idk for gentoo) SUID problem [10:56] kk I'll go to linux [10:57] helloEARTH do you install the vmware toolbox from software center then? [10:57] andeeeuk: nope [10:58] !repeat | andeeeuk, no : http://www.vmware.com/support/ws4/doc/new_guest_tools_ws.html [10:58] umm..one sec, notes...notes.. [10:58] hi, can you point me to documentation about packaging kernel drivers? [10:58] !packaging | mnemoc [10:58] mnemoc: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [10:59] andeeeuk, lets open a private chat, i have a lot of pasting... [10:59] what iptables dns block traffic ? [10:59] DasEi: but something more specific to dkms? :) [10:59] example plz ! [11:02] Is 11.04 officially out yet? [11:02] mnemoc : that's outdated, might look yourself : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-August/026088.html [11:02] DasEi: thanks [11:02] Bacta: yes [11:02] mnemoc: also there is #ubuntu-devel, where more people might know [11:03] mnemoc: try #ubuntu-packaging or perhaps #ubuntu-motu, or even #ubuntu-kernel :) [11:04] jussi: thanks for the hint, didn't know those [11:04] Hi, I'd like to know if to add space on the systme partition is possible. [11:04] nancho: yes [11:04] !info gparted | nancho [11:04] nancho: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.7.0-1ubuntu1 (natty), package size 487 kB, installed size 1632 kB [11:05] nancho: if there is space before or behind can be freed, yes, else can have a new partiton, so yes [11:05] jussi: I've got a 210 Gio which is empty [11:05] partition* [11:05] nacho: mind to change fstab''s uuids afterwards [11:05] !blkid [11:05] 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) [11:06] Does anyone know the criteria for a package to be installed natively in Ubuntu? [11:06] hi there guys. i seem to be having a problem... im trying to uninstal wine... and it says that apt-get or aptitude are running and need to finish or be closed first. [11:06] but they are not.. [11:06] nancho: just make this your new /home and copy things over (move) ?! [11:07] chrislustic: after you restart? [11:07] DasEi: but I havefirst to move the partition because they're not the one beside the other. [11:07] Does Ubuntu have only GPL libraries or also LGPL by default? I know certain packages arent included by default [11:07] chrislustic: synaptic or another manager open ? [11:08] no no other manager were open.... synaptic would not open it just opened tho but it says this [11:08] E;dpkg was interrupted you must manually run "sudo dpkg- configure -a to correct the problem [11:08] nancho: you could just use this 210gb for additional /home, tell it to fstab, mount it, copy - then delete your old data over, then delete old /home [11:09] i guess i will try that [11:09] chrislustic: run that command ^^ [11:09] nancho: just check by df -h in current home, space is enough [11:10] if there is enough soace* [11:10] space, darn ;) [11:10] I wonder why it tells you the command to run instead of running it [11:10] seems like bad UI design [11:10] RenaKunisaki: most likely apt was interrupted [11:10] if it knows how to solve the problem why not solve it? [11:11] RenaKunisaki: administrative tasks don't run on their own [11:11] what happends if I un-check "enable ubuntu unity plugin", does that shut off the launcher? [11:11] DasEi: I do not speak about /home because my partition is used for data (who can be whitten and read on windows and linux) [11:11] RenaKunisaki: because automatically running the command might break something, and it would be better if the user is directly involved. [11:12] RenaKunisaki: sometimes just running the command is not enough. in that case some thing else needs to be done like deleting lock files etc. [11:12] hmm, but at least prompt "do you want to try to repair?" or some such [11:12] also... with aircrack-ng im having a problem... with setting the channel [11:12] waiting for beacon frame (bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) on channel -1 [11:12] mon0 is on channel -1 but AP uses channel 3 [11:12] RenaKunisaki: feel free to contribute a patch. [11:12] I am getting the following error; $ sudo apt-mirror -c apt-mirror apt-mirror: invalid config file specified at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 122. [11:12] people will see this "you must manually run this command" and go "but how do I do that?" [11:12] sipior, not a bad idea... [11:12] nancho: you initally wanted more space, and said you got an additional partition, so my idea [11:12] but sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 "then with the channel number" will not set it [11:13] or whatever tghe command is.. close to that [11:13] will take all bloody night to download the source on this connection though >.> [11:13] anyone got a carrier pigeon? I suspect it'd be faster [11:13] Just to add space on the /. It's about 7 Gio now [11:14] Renakunisaki: only faster with QoS support; cf. RFC2549 [11:14] carrier pigeon has really high return trip latency though [11:14] ahh but Ithink the only solution is to move a partition (to add) and merge it to ma system part. What do you think? [11:14] DasEi [11:15] well those RFCs are a bit out of date what with the printing and scanning TCP packets. should just stick them on USB sticks. have an entire distro ISO download in one packet :p [11:15] nancho: depends, works only easily if it's next to your existing root [11:15] quiescens: you can still maximize throughput on tcp link over carrier pigeons with option TCP window scaling [11:15] i need to set the channel for monitoring directly in aircrack-ng it goes to default channel 11 but i need it on channel 3 [11:16] DasEi: I thiunk I'll reinstall all the OS with at least 10 Gio. [11:16] think* [11:16] nancho: run gparted an post a screenshot [11:16] I had installed macbuntu theme. then i used wine to install safari, but safari wouldnt run very well at all ,,, [11:17] RenaKunisaki: I agree. I once also read a paper with a snail pulling a chariot whose weels were DVDs. Good throughput too, but on short distances [11:17] nancho: /home is where all your personal stuff goes, and a 10G is not much for a whole os [11:17] I suspect that's what my ISP is using at the moment [11:17] nancho: 10 gb runs out fast, [11:18] what year was it when you received this message? [11:18] DasEi: I don't need a /home in fact because of my partition data (210 Gio is amply enough) [11:18] nancho: which size has your current root ? [11:18] df -h tells you [11:19] DasEi: what do you mean? The syst partition ? [11:19] yes [11:19] hey guys, why is truecrypt not in the repos? [11:19] hi there does anyone know a news feed widget that i can embed in my desktop wallpaper [11:19] Cube``: third party [11:19] DasEi: so they have repos for ubuntu? [11:19] beta0x64: I think I found out what the issue was ... sorta [11:20] DasEi: where do you post a picture? [11:20] screenshot [11:20] Cube``: no, but debs, and then the app has an update-function [11:20] nancho: http://imagebin.org/?page=add [11:21] DasEi: thanks alot [11:21] DasEi: http://imagebin.org/153512 [11:21] Cube``: you kow howto install single deb ?

[11:22] nancho: nvm, picture's the same [11:23] nancho: cu [11:23] can anyone tell me the why ubuntu hangs while downloading repos during installation on xenserver vm . trying lucid server edition. this is urgent. [11:23] nvm, cu ? [11:23] hello i have been using a source that used to name version starting with a character. IS there any config to bypass policy of versionnumbers not starting with digit?

[11:49] ufehifehiehfiu: unless you find the commands to achieve that and just have a script doing so, yes [11:50] iulhk: In Ubuntu it's enabled by default, you should ask in #debian.

In Ubuntu, that's www-data, I don't know what it is in debian (this is why it's important to ask in #debian) [11:51] DasEi: Ok, so I am going to have a look to find the command to acheive that.

[13:36] sipior: I have no other libc installed than the Natty one [13:36] and the dev packages are all installed [13:36] error message is: "cannot find -lc" [13:37] Vir: it would be useful if you could pastebin the build command and all the resulting errors. === retentiveboy is now known as retentiveboy_ [13:39] sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/608372/ [13:39] Vir: sorry, i meant the build command you used to make the compiler :-) [13:40] sipior: http://code.compeng.uni-frankfurt.de/projects/gcc-build/repository/revisions/master/entry/install.sh and functions.sh [13:40] 你们都是哪的朋友阿 [13:41] !cn [13:41] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [13:42] 这么多人 [13:42] 真热闹 [13:43] MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual: "Use the SHOW statement to find out what databases currently exist on the server." 'mysql> show databases; dbBegriffe2011'. Why does '~$ locate dbBegriffe2011' not produce any output? [13:43] bullgard4: because it's not in your locate cache path [13:43] Vir: and that ran with no errors? (i'm guessing no...) [13:44] sipior: it runs without errors if I disable GCC bootstrap [13:44] bullgard4: plus that's not a file [13:44] sipior: otherwise I get the same problem [13:44] bullgard4: also there is no extension on that file [13:44] papaf: What does 'plus' mean in your message? [13:44] bullgard4: "in addition" [13:45] 我这机器不知道怎么回事 一会就蹦到注销了 [13:45] bullgard4: in addition to what ikonia said [13:45] sipior: the point is that the pre-packaged GCC knows to find all libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, but all self-built GCCs have never heard of such a directory for libraries [13:45] sipior: Ubuntu Natty is the first and only distri I could find that uses this subdir for libraries [13:45] papaf: What "is not a file"? [13:46] sipior: though I could not find a rationale for this anywhere... [13:46] bullgard4: you asked why locate couldn't find your database, right? That's because locate is a command that finds files by name [13:46] bullgard4: database is not a file name for mysql, database.blah is [13:46] Vir: it's actually fairly common nowadays. [13:46] bullgard4: and mysql databases are not files [13:46] bullgard4: so a.) the path of the file would need to be in your locate cache path b.) you need to specify the full file name, eg: mydatabase.mdf [13:47] sipior: well, maverick didn't have it OpenSUSE doesn't have it, and none of the other distris I have used on servers lately have it === sony is now known as Guest44914 [13:47] Vir: 9.10 had it, for example. [13:48] papaf: Almost everything in Unix and Linux is a file. -- If mysql databases are no files, what else are they? [13:48] Vir: anyway, check your build scripts, and make sure that path is specified explicitly. [13:48] what is another chat room [13:48] iD [13:48] sipior: just checked 10.10 - doesn't use /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, except for liblouis.so.2 [13:48] bullgard4: they are files, but you need to specify the extension [13:49] bullgard4: directories.

[13:57] this XCHAT program has the User list hidden [13:57] how can i solve this ? [13:57] rgb1: did you cat README? [13:57] sipior: ld itself runs fine (i.e. ldd resolves all libs), but when linking the new executable it doesn't find libc.so [13:58] sipior: that's because libc.so is not installed in /usr/lib [13:58] pici: I want newer version, in repo is an old one [13:58] sipior: if I symlink libc.so from the x86_64-linux-gnu subdir to /usr/lib it links -lc just find [13:58] sipior: if I symlink libc.so from the x86_64-linux-gnu subdir to /usr/lib it links -lc just fine [13:58] Vir: sure. adding the path to ld.so.conf doesn't help?

[14:02] becoming very frustrating [14:02] :s [14:02] jrib : it only says administrator [14:02] iAxX: is that the user you created? [14:02] yeah what do you expect from 1667 people [14:02] no . i crated a user iAxX [14:02] created* [14:02] ehm, that's just annoying, now I can't get my vmware-window of win7 to expand to fullscreen over both monitors? [14:02] iAxX: how did you create that user *exactly*? [14:02] leao: yes, setting your computer so you don't need to input your password would leave your system open. The following Wiki link provides all the information you need regarding sudo and root privileges: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:03] went into recovery mode root shell adduser iAxX --forcebad-name [14:03] <3 love you Lateralis [14:03] erebus: could be.

[14:03] or do i have to make a new .wine [14:04] iAxX: grep -i iaxx /etc/passwd [14:04] jrib : isn't there like a default password for Administrator ... or how can i enable the sudo root user [14:04] erebus: if you never tried 1.3.x and you have important configs in your present .wine, just make a backup beforehand [14:04] jrib : where should i put that [14:04] iAxX: in a shell [14:06] k ty [14:06] jrib : comes back with/home/iaxx23:/bin/bash [14:07] iAxX: I really doubt that. [14:07] thats what it says ... [14:07] iAxX: pastebin your /etc/passwd [14:08] iAxX23:x:1002:1002::/home/iAxX23:/bin/bash [14:08] Am I doing something wrong ... new to the linux thing ... [14:09] iAxX: what does « ls /home » return (in full)?= [14:09] ciao [14:10] administrator iAxX23 [14:10] ... [14:10] iAxX: If there's a home directory within /home for administrator, then *somebody* created that account, maybe you when you installed the OS. That account *should* have sudo privileges. So login to that account and fix your system via sudo. You can also make your new user a member of the admin group if you want him to be able to use sudo. [14:10] iAxX: grep -i iaxx /etc/group [14:11] rob_p : on the administrator account i don't know the password i never remember making an account [14:12] jrib: there is nothing coming up just a blank spot [14:12] iAxX: pastebin your command and the full output [14:12] !paste | iAxX [14:12] iAxX: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. === dimmortal1 is now known as dimmortal [14:13] iAxX, when you first created the set up you gave it a user name and password, that is what its looking for now [14:13] hey guys does any one now how can i ssh with ip address (in local network) [14:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/608397/ [14:13] ok.... [14:14] ok so this means i'm dumb and forgot that i made an account :| [14:14] iAxX: If you don't know the password to the, "administrator" account, then I can only assume you are trying to gain access to a system that isn't yours! Otherwise, why would there be an user account that you don't know about, or have the password to? [14:14] pratz: do you mean simply "ssh user@192.168.1.1" ? [14:15] mbeierl: yes, but the problem is that i do not have the user name, i just have the ip address [14:15] rob_p : there is nothing on my computer the driver is WIPED [14:16] pratz: you will need the user name. It's part of the SSH credentials, and not something that can be avoided. [14:16] hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my wireless to work on Xubuntu. I have a Broadcom bcm 4306, and the wireless device is enabled, however, when I go to my network options it shows that the wireless is not ready [14:16] iAxX: add your user to the « admin » account as rob_p suggested earlier. You should probably reset the administrator password too, but keep in mind this is the name of an account: "administrator". When you login with iaxx and get prompted for an admin password, it just wants iaxx's password [14:16] rob_p : is there a way I can reset the password for the administrator account [14:16] mbeierl: i tried with smb also, but the workgroup and the computer is not listed there also [14:16] ok so where can I add the username ? [14:17] anyone know why this command isn't giving me write permissions to this windows share? i have read only. sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.11/Media /media/JDmedia -o user=XXXX,password=XXXX,rw [14:17] iAxX: sudo useradd iAxX, or whatever [14:17] pratz: that last statement confused me. what does SMB file sharing have to do with the SSH session? Were you trying to guess the user name that way, perhaps? [14:17] iAxX: Of course there is! But I'm not convinced you own the system you're trying to, "own!" ;) [14:17] user/password fields are the admin account on the windows share pc [14:17] iAxX: recovery mode [14:18] oh i need to do that in recovery mode because it just said : iAxX23 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [14:18] Barridus: mounting it with sudo gives "root" the permissions, not the current user. is that the case here? [14:18] Good day [14:18] rob_p : is there a way i can prove you that this is my computer ? [14:18] jrib: You can take it from here... I'm going to bow out on my suspicions! :) [14:19] no rob . i don't like to be called a liar ... so how can I prove you that this is my system ? [14:19] iAxX: if Ubuntu is newly installed then I would just reinstall it, being careful to remember the username and password of the account you are forced to create during setup [14:19] iAxX: Nope! But if that's truly the case, I apologize! Take care. [14:19] Should simple-cdd work just fine with ubuntu, or what tool I should use to upgrade/customize lucid cd image? [14:19] mbeierl, perhaps not, good point, let me try without sudo [14:19] it doesn't matter, you can't really prove it anyway [14:20] well i have the pass to my windows account ... but idk how thats gonna prove anything ... anyways ill go in recovery mode and make an account with sudo [14:20] mbeierl: actually i am given a ip address, i have to create files and save them there, i can ping that computer, but do not know how to connect to that computer [14:20] mbeierl, "mount: only root can do that" [14:20] thanks for the help guys [14:20] iAxX: you're not making an account [14:20] hi :) [14:20] me again [14:20] iAxX: you're adding iaxx to the admin group [14:20] oh [14:20] that works too thanks [14:20] still having problems with dns server [14:20] I think I have bind9 well configured, do I need to change something in my router config? [14:21] mbeierl: any ideas on this ?? [14:21] papaf: hey [14:22] afeijo: Obviously your router has to know about your named if you intend to actually use the server [14:22] papaf: i got wine1.3 [14:22] Barridus: ah, yes. I've hit that before. I think you have to make smbfs setuid root... Try chmod a+s /sbin/mount.cifs [14:22] papaf: its version 1.3.19 [14:22] papaf: but the last version is 1.3.6 how do i get that? [14:22] erebus: erm, no [14:22] Take, I'm looking into my router where to do it [14:22] erebus: 1.3.19 > 1.3.6 [14:22] pratz: for guessing a user name, no. That would actually constitute a security attack on the remote computer. If the owner of the remote computer cannot tell you the credentials to use, then you are out of luck [14:22] Take, would it be in Routing? I add my server IP and subnet? [14:23] papaf: oh ok [14:23] mbeierl, heh can you dumb that down a notch? XD [14:23] erebus: what do you need 1.3 for, anyways? [14:23] any thoughts on ZaReason vs System76? Trying to decide at the moment but wndered if any of you have a history with either... [14:23] papaf: a game [14:23] nba 2k11 [14:23] mbeierl: the owner has just given me the ip address and his computer is not listed in smb list also [14:24] afeijo: Depends on your router [14:24] afeijo: Often DNS setup is related to DHCP settings, but can't really do much more than just quess [14:24] Barridus: ah, ok. the problem is that Microsoft file sharing (smb) program is installed to be run as root. you want to be a user and mount the files. so, you need to be able to run "smbfs" as if you were root, but continue to remain your normal user. The "setuid" program helps with that. Give me a moment to chase down further information === fsarker is now known as faruq [14:26] pratz: I am really sorry, but it sounds like the person did not give you enough information. attempting to guess a user name for credentials is essentially an attempt to "hack" into the remote computer. I cannot help you with that. the owner needs to give you that information. [14:26] mbeierl, ok i understand. but trying "chmod a+s /sbin/mount.cifs" returns "chmod: cannot access `/sbin/mount.cifs': No such file or directory" [14:26] mbeierl: thanks buddy [14:26] Barridus: add uid=yourusername to the command you tried earlier [14:26] pratz: sorry :) [14:26] Hi, I'm currently on a development machine. Our dev server has my ssh public key from this machine. I'm about to set up a new machine to replace this one. Is it okay to copy my ssh public/private key from here to my ~/.ssh/ of the new machine? [14:27] mbeierl: it is fine dude, i will ask the owner for more info [14:27] tech3: yes [14:27] tech3: yeah, sure, or you could just add a new key to the .authorized_keys of the dev server [14:27] papaf, bingo that worked great. thank you mbeierl also as i learned something as well [14:27] tech3: is the hostname the same? if i am correct the hostname is crypted in the key [14:28] Ubuntu doesn't support non-x86/x64 architectures ?. Is that correct. [14:28] iceroot: No, it's not [14:28] Pumpkin-: no not correct [14:28] Barridus: actually, the uid= is preferred. I just forgot that's how I solved it last time. it' [14:28] Take: so its machine-independed [14:28] what architectures does it run on ? [14:28] iceroot: Yes [14:28] tech3: So, just copy ~/.ssh to new box and be happy ;) [14:28] Pumpkin-: ppc, i386, amd64 and maybe ia64 [14:28] iceroot: i carry an openssh and putty key around with me on usb [14:28] how can i redirect output of one terminal to another and use that as input to a program ?

[15:00] I have looked at VNC, they have a portion of there project that does this. but it requires the client to install the server version of VNC. I am looking for something more elegant if it is out there. [15:00] GJohanns: other way around, establish a vnc (maybe teamview) from the projectors box to the client, there you are [15:00] helo: 'grep' into 'dmesg' or install 'lsscsi' [15:00] if i do sudo nmap something and try to press a button, it doesn't send the data to nmap, it just displays that letter on the screen.

(pretty sure it's worked fine in the past) [15:00] wolfric: what are you trying to send to nmap? [15:01] secretary_linux: key pressed. any key should give an update (bla done bla left to go bla bla bla). v should turn on verbose, d debug etc [15:01] vectory, i think you can use find to search by inode [15:01] GJohanns: so you expect to find something that allows you to display locally another PC's desktop without doing *anything*?
