[00:00] * szal has 3 cores and 7 GB of RAM.. in 2 PCs ;) [00:00] I dont wanna get cocky, but i made Starcraft II play on an old 1.73GHz Celeron... with wine and stuff [00:00] WilliamGatesIII, I've been using the default Ubuntu driver [00:00] how big do u recommend? [00:00] Dexo: have you partitioned your computer/installed linux before? its not that difficult. [00:00] Dexo: just relax and partition, I say [00:00] Hello. Since upgrading to 11.04, my xmodmap settings aren't being honoured. I've found some bug reports about this, but can't seem to find any suggestions as to what's changed in 11.04 about keyboard handling. Any suggestions? [00:00] * OttifantSir has 17 cores and apx 14 GB RAM in 7 PCs [00:00] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/608712/ [00:00] myrk: In that case, you oughta give a shot to madwifi. 'Tis here -> http://madwifi-project.org/ [00:01] Dexo: how much space can you give to ubuntu [00:01] WilliamGatesIII, is that supposed to solve my problems? does it have its own drivers? [00:01] well i have 305gb free on this drive [00:01] .. [00:01] anyone having issues with a USB keyboard waking a sleeping ubuntu machine? [00:01] none of my PCs wake up via USB keyboard [00:02] ps2 works however [00:02] myrk: Yes. I also happened to have a Toshiba Laptop with SuSE on it, and these drivers worked magnificently. [00:02] any ideas? [00:02] Dexo: 10-15 GB for /, 1-1.5 times as much as you have RAM for swap, as much as you want for /home [00:02] HB: What Windows partition were you trying to access and how were you trying to access it? [00:02] WilliamGatesIII, ok, thanks, I'll try that. [00:02] Dexo: well, on my dual boot machine, i have a 25gig "/" ... where everthing is kept for the most part, and its got 19gigs free... so.. (all my music, etc.. is kep ton another partition) [00:02] myrk: No problemo :) [00:02] Dexo: 10-15GB for /root 2-4 for ram rest for /home partition let somebody correct me if I´m wrong [00:03] *not ram swap [00:03] phunyguy: does it happen when u disconnect the USB keyboard? [00:03] zvacet: i wouldn't bother creating a separate /home.. but thats just my personal opinion... i never do. [00:03] Jordan_U, all of them.. none open... i was trying to mount them by console... also by the left menu / rigth click / Mount .... byt nothing seems to work [00:03] what do you mean disconnect, WilliamGatesIII? [00:03] when its sleeping? [00:03] getting Waiting for sound system to respond ... with i go to pref => sound. tried to remove pulse audio and go to alsa [00:03] 10.04 [00:04] flowbee__: why? [00:04] KM0201. I always does and have good experience with that [00:04] flowbee__: have you removed pulseaudio? [00:04] HB: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/"? [00:04] yigal, yes; i was getting horrible scratchy sounds during playback [00:04] whether through headphones/speakrs local/remote [00:04] flowbee__: ok, so now you are using alsa? [00:04] phunyguy: When you remove it from the USB port [00:04] yigal, id like to yes [00:04] zvacet: lol, i9'm not saying there's not good reason to, i jus tnever do... i keep such thorough backups (including a couple of specific folders in /home... so i can restore them)... it's kinda pointless for me to do it. [00:04] KM0201: My reason for creating a separate 7home is that even if I mess up the system irreperably, I know I can get my files out with a Live CD or SystemRescueCD [00:05] i try not to remove the keyboard if i dont have to.... [00:05] flowbee__: well what is the problem? just no sound at all now? [00:05] phunyguy: that happens to every OS, even M$ Windoz [00:05] 7home = /home [00:05] OttifantSir: a separate /home really doesn't change that... [00:05] not sure what you are getting at [00:05] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/608721/ [00:05] OttifantSir: even if home is not on a separate partition, you can still use a live cd to get your files... i've done it several times [00:05] KM0201: you took different path that is all :) [00:05] you mean disconnect it and plug it back in to get it to work? [00:05] phunyguy: i want to know what you do with the keyboard that makes the pc awake again [00:05] zvacet: pretty much..t hast what i'm saying, i don't have an issue w/ /home on a separate partition, i've just not found it necessary.. :) [00:05] yigal, i can get sound via flash applications. just not on on other apps like audcious: ALSA errorsnd_pcm_open failed: No such file or directory. [00:06] flowbee__: to be honest your pulse set up sounds more like you had a microphone on [00:06] KM0201: In most cases, yes. And I haven't met a computer yet that couldn't. But I like the added safety. [00:06] flowbee__: do you know how to use the command line? [00:06] yigal, yup [00:06] KM0201: and if somebody partition for first time I believe it is not good in backup and restore process [00:06] flowbee__: have you installed alsamixer? [00:07] OttifantSir: then why are you usin that as your reasoning to put /home on a separate partition? there's a lot better reasons (and benefits that actually exist) to doing /home on a separate partition. [00:07] WilliamGatesIII: I press the power button [00:07] yigal, yup [00:07] yigal: I think I do - "sudo rm -rf /*" is how you upgrade to the newest version of ubuntu right ;) [00:07] because the keyboard doesnt work to wake it [00:07] zvacet: by the same token, w/ /home on a separate partition, if they've really whacked something up.. restoring stuff from the old home, could be just as problematic [00:07] KM0201: Because it's late, I'm tired, my mind is slow, and it was what I could think of [00:08] sroy2: touch $0 [00:08] sroy2: no, no that's sudo shred -f / [00:08] (geek humor) [00:08] haha [00:08] OttifantSir: i understand that, but my point is... thast not really a benefit of /home.. as you can access any partition from a live cd, and recover ata... it doesn't matter if home is on a separate partition or not... i just didn't understand what you were syaing.. because really what you said, is not true. [00:08] flowbee__: ok, so what does alsamixer look like then? [00:08] KM0201: agree 8-) [00:08] !danger [00:08] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [00:08] yigal, looks good; and works to to control the sound [00:09] which command? the rm one? [00:09] yigal: sroy2: Mallicious commands are not welcome here, even jokingly. [00:09] flowbee__: are there any mutings? M [00:09] phunyguy: rm and shred. [00:09] phunyguy: Now YOU confused me... if you press the power button, its likely to awake the machine, sure... [00:09] ahh ok. [00:09] yes, but thats not always convenient, WilliamGatesIII [00:09] Jordan_U: it was directed at each other, nor were those malicious commands? [00:09] yigal, yes; mutes are mic mic boost video phone s/pdif s/pdif t pc speak [00:09] flowbee__: hmm [00:10] hence why i would rather use the keyboard, which doesnt work at all. [00:10] Hi, can anyone help me with a quick SSD question? [00:10] !ask | mneorr [00:10] mneorr: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:10] flowbee__: I'm sorry I'm so used to using pulseaudio it's been years since I've used alsa [00:10] how can i effectively change default monitor position? - the monitor on top keeps acting as default, position 1 - with main screen in it (menus, etc) when it should be 2. This is bugging me for a couple days. current xorg.conf -> http://pastebin.com/8R6Bfqvi [00:10] yigal, yeah i just got sick of hearing it be scratchy [00:10] phunyguy: Try this thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-45368.html [00:11] flowbee__: what computer, sound card is it? [00:11] Anyone know of a way to edit the title, artist, editor, or what not of video-files (Except .mkv as I can use mkvtoolnix for that)? Preferably a GUI, but I'm not too afraid of the terminal if someone has a script or an easier way than using FFMpeg or MEncoder, like a CLI-program [00:11] yigal, custom build; sound blaster live [00:11] value [00:11] flowbee__: oh, ok, sorry I remember having problems of these sort but I don't know how I fixed them [00:11] Does anyone know of a command that can convert unix text files to windows text files? I'm having issues with the newline differences [00:12] ok tnx. So I've installed a Intel X25m 120gb, runnitg Natty. I've added discard flag in fstab , and tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim method to verify that trim is working. But no luck, I still see values instead of zeros :( [00:12] flowbee__: what is the error you get when you try to use audacious or other application utilizing sound? [00:12] WilliamGatesIII: sorry maybe there is still some confusion, I'm not trying to never use the power button again, I simply just want to be able to wake the PC by slappin the space bar. [00:12] thats all. [00:12] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/608721/ <<<--- i-m i f*ck up ? [00:12] phunyguy: it would be cool to wake the computer up by just slapping it. [00:13] yigal: http://instantrimshot.com/ [00:13] WilliamGatesIII: lol [00:14] I know my jokes are corny, my apologies [00:14] corny jokes welcome [00:14] HB: Protip - If you wanna swear, use cyrillic letters [00:14] why does ubuntu add the entire old windows file structure when I install "ubuntu side by side" ? I mean everything like my documents and shit that windows7 doesn't use? [00:15] how do I reload my fstab? [00:15] sroy2: I think there's a setting for importing your old documents [00:15] mount -a [00:15] hmm [00:15] sroy2: you can explicitly tell it to NOT do that on the install [00:15] sroy2: this is the graphical installer [00:15] HB: Can you pastebin the output of "cat /proc/mounts"? [00:15] sroy2: reload the windows file structure?.. i have no idea what you're talking about.. [00:15] yigal: that sucks... time to wipe two installs... the windows7 and the ubuntu :( [00:16] I think I have been forgotten [00:16] *frown* [00:16] I'll try again, I've got no answer.. I've installed a Intel X25m 120gb, runnitg Natty. I've added discard flag in fstab , and tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim method to verify that trim is working. But no luck, I still see values instead of zeros === ubuntu is now known as wideyes [00:16] sroy2: it's going to happen eventually :D [00:17] phunyguy: Oh, sorry. I'll try and google something... [00:17] i wasnt asking for help initially btw, [00:17] i was asking if ANYONE ELSE was having the issue [00:17] if you would kindly scroll up [00:17] !poll | phunyguy [00:17] phunyguy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:17] hmm thats weird... when I go to windows it doesn't see the old structure but when its mounted in ubuntu... it does? [00:17] thats not a poll.... [00:18] when I plug-in an external monitor to my ubuntu laptop (11.04) I get a black bar on my laptop screen, about 400px from top, is there a fix? [00:18] ... [00:18] szal: or at least not a poll on how good a particular application is vs. other similar purposed software [00:18] and i had googled the issue recently, and led to a broken system by installing another power management package. [00:18] phunyguy: This channel is only for support. Anything else is offtopic. [00:18] that IS support [00:19] but I am NOT asking for google links [00:19] KSHawkEye: you need to install fromdos and todos, no dos2unix on ubuntu [00:19] I was asking if anyone could relate to myissue and how they fixed or IF they fixed. [00:19] sheesh. [00:19] phunyguy: i'm not sure i understood what you're asking from the scrollback, but if you want to wake your computer via the keyboard, i think that's a BIOS issue not really something you can control from ubuntu [00:19] how do I reload my fstab? [00:19] there is a good answer, thank you LjL [00:19] phunyguy: if you mean waking from standby/suspend, at least [00:19] yes, [00:20] i checked bios and couldnt find an option, so if that is that, then I am happy. [00:20] How can I find the IPs of all devices on my local network? [00:20] Local IPs, that is [00:20] i have an asus eee pc 1000 running 11.04 that does not seem to recognize the sd card reader, despite the website assuring me that the only documented hardware issues are with the internet devices. can anyone help me? [00:21] phunyguy: it's possible (but don't spend the money for a new keyboard just to try this) that if you have a PS/2 keyboard, then using a USB keyboard instead will have it wake the computer. [00:21] Im using Ubuntu 11.10 and i installed my Nvidia drivers but it says its activated but not being used ;( what should i do?

[00:30] Is there any way to disable untiy sidebar? [00:30] i went to save it and it told me it had been modified since last save [00:30] phunyguy: well more than modifying it you should just echo name-of-device >/proc/acpi/wakeup, i believe [00:31] the device is in there, LjL, as disabled [00:31] juddwest: uhm, you can avoid showing it when you move the mouse to the edge, but i think that's it [00:31] phunyguy: it will be fine, the system will rewrite at boot [00:31] phunyguy: you shouldn't modify it like that [00:31] phunyguy: try the echo business and c if it works [00:32] sudo echo "USB" > /proc/acpi/wakeup [00:32] phunyguy: just do like "echo UHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup" (assuming UHC1 is the device in question) [00:32] So, I'm stuck with a Mac-like springboard, that really just makes me mad.

But no luck, I still see values instead of zeros [01:00] bgilb, put it to the left [01:00] no change at all [01:00] using lubuntu natty what is the save session settings protocol [01:00] phunyguy: oh I found out how to disable an enabled device, just echo the same thing again [01:00] bgilb, try acceleration all the way to the right, and sensitivity all the way to the left [01:01] phunyguy: echo the enabled device to disable it, that is [01:01] bgilb, and tell me if you notice a difference [01:01] holy scroll batman! [01:01] Hey everyone. I have a Dell Latitude e6500. Almost everything is working, but I'd like to have more custom configuration of my trackpad and trackpoint mouse. Does anyone know if there's a package I can install to do this? [01:01] that worked [01:02] bgilb, you're right, i think the labels are backwards for sensitivity [01:02] * hd1 is trying to configure cups-pdf on a remote server -- read no GUI tools installed... anyone done this? [01:02] phunyguy: or perhaps not? [01:02] I'm running 11.04 on a ThinkPad x61 (Intel video card), I'm having issues with dual screen , when an app is maximized on the second monitor it maximizes to like 20% of the screen. I've updated to the latest Intel drivers, but no luck, any tips? [01:02] i can' tell it is acceleration though because it moves fast only when i make long strides [01:02] question about Firefox in Ubuntu: does Start Private Browsing really give you anonymity? [01:02] like exponential [01:03] eiriksvin: there is no anonymous browsing in the internet.. this is only local.. [01:03] eiriksvin: no it prevents local data storage [01:03] hi [01:04] so in order to become anonymous i have to use a proxy? is there such a proxy for ubuntu? [01:05] eiriksvin: you can try TOR [01:05] eiriksvin, proxies aren't necessarily sufficient either [01:05] was just gonna suggest TOR [01:05] looks like theres several threads on this issue with no answers; darn this sicks [01:05] i dont have subtitles in VLC, any ideas why? [01:05] sucks* [01:05] lol sicks [01:05] =P [01:05] hm. Seems really quiet today. [01:05] hmm Tor isn't available for Firefox 4+ [01:05] m477, turned off? filename not same? [01:06] tanath: no [01:06] m477, enable a subtitle track [01:06] m477, load manually? [01:06] tanath: yes [01:06] pfifo: what do you mean [01:06] eiriksvin, tor is available for whatever you pipe through it [01:06] phunyguy: enabling and disabling is toggled by the echo [01:06] m477, turn subtitles on [01:07] ok. yigal, but it resets on a restart... [01:07] eiriksvin, browsers can be configured to use proxies [01:07] pfifo: lol it is [01:07] and who knows when else [01:07] eiriksvin, for apps that can't, you can set your network settings to use it [01:07] m477, missing font? [01:07] seems more like a bandaid [01:07] phunyguy: so you can at least play with enabling and disabling until you find which device actually is the keyboard [01:07] pfifo: i dont thinks so [01:08] phunyguy: though there must be a better way to find out than this [01:08] i tried both USB devices in there, one was a nogo, and the other woke instantly [01:08] m477, does it work in other videos? [01:08] gah. Lost whatever replies there were... [01:08] as soon as it slept it came back up [01:08] pfifo: i suppose i have arial [01:08] pfifo: no [01:08] Hi [01:08] quick question [01:08] phunyguy: you know I have a USB mouse, keyboard and my /proc/acpi/wakeup has no USB device in it [01:09] can you run Ubuntu Server on a semi-old standard desktop PC? [01:09] yeah i think its the hubs [01:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/608738/ [01:09] WinCamXP: depends on how old i guess [01:09] WinCamXP: define "semi-old"? [01:09] WinCamXP: i don't see why you couldn't.. how "semi old" is old [01:09] pfifo: it works in other player [01:09] m477, the font.ttf needs to be in the configuration directory, your probbally missing the font if its all videos [01:09] WinCamXP: try it and find out [01:09] hmm i have found tor, but its not going to be an easy install [01:09] pfifo: so i dont have arial? ~~ [01:10] well...it has (i think) 512mb of ram and it is using xp now [01:10] eiriksvin: what are you trying to do [01:10] How can I use "Content Access" per node ? [01:10] i was gonna format it to run my minecraft server [01:10] WinCamXP: hm.

About 30% of the time, the windows are grayed-out, and the system is hitting the hard drive constantly. I notice this more often wheen Firefox is running. Any ideas?? Do I need to increase the swap partition ?? Thanks.

It's all about ordering. Windows doesn't like being installed to anything other than a "primary" partition [01:28] sroy2: there is path specific info in the profile, as well as caching that is per os. while it may be possible to run the same profile on both operating systems it is not supported [01:28] dboyj: I'm not a fan. At all. Slows me down. [01:28] hello? [01:28] dunno is that what came with my 11.03 build?

[01:47] Petri: did this help? -> from synaptic reinstall bcmwl-kernal-source so I it can be fully removed. Then reinstalled broadcom-sta-common, bcmwl-kernel-source, and b43-fwcutter and reboot [01:47] Well there are like five versions available thru wubi [01:47] ive got 2gb ddr (200mhz) ram on this machine now (it really needs an upgrade) [01:47] WinCamXP, just the 2 of you should be ok [01:47] I researched them all and tried KDE version but I am back to Gnome now.

[01:48] WinCamXP: if its got 2gigs of ram, it can't be that bad.. whats the proc. speed [01:48] Jnode: if you're trying to format it in ext* something it could cause problems, you should have read about this [01:48] Regarding the thumbdrive. [01:48] is there native support for the service you are trying to host, WinCamXP? [01:48] sroy2: havent checked but it should [01:48] They are a bit particular. So yeah you might have lost some capacity there [01:48] What can I do I used ever tool read everthing on google [01:48] ok [01:48] ive got 32-bit win 7, but the processor is a 1.8ghz amd 64 [01:48] Most have a tiny rom onboard with instructions [01:48] they fry, drive dead.

[02:01] someone here gave me a link to get unity working inside vmware workstation 7.1 but i lost it.. does someone have that url? [02:01] i have ubuntu 10.10 installed on a partition with its grub2 boot loader installed on the mbr - i have another linux distro installed on another partition with its boot loader installed on its root device when i try and chain load the other distro i get problems and cannot run the second distro ubuntu works ok [02:02] uabn93: doubt it, if it's gone it's gone (too bad you can't use system restore :p) [02:02] uabn93: just joking [02:02] someone here gave me a link to get unity working inside vmware workstation 7.1 but i lost it.. does someone have that url? [02:02] spanish? [02:02] uabn93, it might be in root's trash which is not visible to normal users [02:02] anybody in the north-eastern hemisphere? [02:02] carnage1 Yes [02:03] brianb_, why not just add an entry for the 2nd distro to ubuntu's bootloader? [02:03] I'm in New Zealand, I guess that doesn't count... [02:03] i have [02:03] hi! this is my first time with IRC. [02:03] adamsmeat: Great! We are here to help [02:03] brianb_, I mean to boot it directly, not chainload [02:03] still can run the seond linux distro [02:03] hello someone speak spanish [02:03] thanks! so IRC is mostly for support stuff?

[02:04] corrytonapple: i always hear the term IRC but i think this is very useful [02:04] brianb_, you can [02:04] ok muchas gracia ubottu [02:04] It is. The ubottu helped me yesterday [02:04] cartmanius: ubottu es en 'bot'... === avalon_ is now known as r_avalon [02:05] the ubottu is not helpful...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:05] You have to PM it [02:06] the problem i get is that it says there is a problem with the partition and i get a kernel panic when i try to run the other distro from within the ubuntu boot loader [02:06] http://pastebin.com/RJS6M6sd [02:06] any idea please? http://pastebin.com/RJS6M6sd [02:06] pm ubottu hello [02:06] corrytonapple: I see. Thanks! I'll just browse around first. [02:06] mahir256, no it was about enabling 3d acceleration inside vmware workstation :) [02:06] its because I was trying to get a file back to get my wifi working. When I rund "sudo checkinstall" it says error "./etc/Wireless/RT2860STA no such file or directory [02:06] and i cant see why [02:06] err slashes... [02:06] adamsmeat: You could learn a lot by watching the IRC. Have fun! [02:06] brianb_, well there is a misconfiguration somewhere [02:06] wow you guys have always had a windows time-machine? [02:07] I deleted that file. Can I get it back? [02:07] hm? only as far back as 3.0 [02:07] how do i find out where? [02:07] I thought that file from that directory was made when running "make" but guess not. [02:07] (yes, I go back THAT far...) [02:08] uabn93, you should install etc-keeper for future instances like this. you can get the file back by finding what package it was in and reinstalling it [02:08] brianb_, you need to go over your grub.cfg carefully, understanding what all of it does [02:08] ? [02:09] so is that where possibly the missconfiguration is then [02:09] Anyone up for a challenge? I murdered a Kubuntu install and now I'm in grub_rescue. No cd drive on my PC. Help? [02:09] escott: do you know of any way of getting that file back? It wont let me compile unless the file is there. [02:09] install-grub [02:10] brianb_, yes, you are going to have 2 grub.cfg, or possibly a grub.cfg and a menu.lst. one for each install, make sure all of your drives and kernel options are correct, and that the files your telling it to load actually exist. [02:11] faugh... [02:11] uabn93, i would reinstall the firmware-ralink package [02:12] i read tht you canot edit the grub.cfg file in 10.10 which uses grub2 [02:13] install 10.04 [02:13] you have to use the 40_custom [02:13] brianb_, the file itself can be read, and in iit are instructions for how to make changes [02:13] i can't remove a directory neither access it [02:13] brianb_, yes, thats correct, but you can also fine tune the os-prober setcion [02:13] so do you think that the wrong kernel image is being loaded [02:14] do i have to add a new user manually to the sudoers list? (and if, how do i do that?) [02:14] can you do update in cmd line? [02:14] is there any command line to solve this prob [02:14] brianb_, you are probbally telling it to root the wrong partition [02:14] how do you fine tune the 30_OS prober [02:15] nubcake_, i think you can do it in the gui user admin tool by giving them administrative rights, but just look at the existing sudoers file and model your user after someone who does have sudo privileges [02:15] brianb_, I think os-prober has a configuration file in /etc or /usr/share [02:15] escott: won't work for my card but thanks for helping. bye. [02:15] escott: thank you [02:15] am i correct that in thinking that in grub2 the partitions start a 1 rather then 0 as in grub [02:15] I want to dual boot Kubuntu with my existing Ubuntu....Both distros on seperate hard drives...Cannot open Kubuntu grom Ubuntu grub display [02:16] brianb_, in grub2 they introduced several new was of specifying a harddrive partition [02:16] brianb_, the newest version of grub2 with 11.04 allows letter names hda/hdb etc [02:16] Complete survey for $10 cash... fuck DollarInbox http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7FYJH3F [02:16] hello can you help me [02:17] would that be the same for 10.10 [02:17] wafa, you need to use sudo chmod to change the permissions or sudo chown to change the ownership [02:17] !permissions | wafa [02:17] wafa: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [02:18] escot am the owner [02:18] so i can use the sudo option [02:18] wafa, .gvfs?

[02:22] xfce [02:22] brianb_, i think you would reference those as hd0,5 and hd0,7 or hda,5 hda,7 [02:22] brianb_, then tell grub2 /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda7 [02:23] escott === beckyward is now known as bonhoffer [02:24] ok so how do i tell grub2 to /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda7 do i use the 30_OS prober and the do a update-grub [02:24] Chelsea: right click the panel, add to panel, indicator applet appmenu [02:24] !grub2 | brianb_ [02:24] brianb_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

Thanks [02:27] pfifo how can we use chmod [02:27] to remove a directory??????? [02:27] rm -Rf directory/ will do it. [02:27] i dont have windows installed however i have a ntfs partition set to a primary /dev/sda1, the other partitions are extended with logical partitions [02:28] providing you own the directory. [02:28] maelstorm: In ubuntu? Yes, in ccsm or gconf-editor [02:28] i had afew issues with my pc i had my credit card info stolen from my pc and then it got trashed and when i went to my local pc shop to get it repaired again.. he recommened me ubuntu and gave me it on a cd, I have installed it but im scared to connect it to the internet with out a antivirus and my firewall and spyware scanner and could the hacker still get my info again from my machine thank you, Katie [02:28] wafa, chmod changes permissions of a directory. rm is for unlinking [02:28] HotPeachesAndcre: No [02:28] There are practically not viruses for Ubuntu === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:29] @HotPeach, although *nix based machines can still transfer windows viruses. They can not run on your linux system. [02:29] HotPeachesAndcre: There are a few, but very rare [02:29] pfifo i am the owner but when i try to remove it says 'access denied" [02:29] Go ahead and connect to the internet. You will be fine. [02:29] We are here behind you. [02:30] wafa, what exactly are you tring todo? can you pastebin the output of this command?

It was scary i had a letter from my bank telling me i had 2k overdraft i was like OMG what... when i took my machine to the repair man again he said my machine was bad, and i would find it easier to run ubuntu, i have never installed anything like this before and im very shocked how easy it was though...But one thing h [02:31] ow can it be free though :?? [02:32] brianb_, it wil add what ever you put in that file to the end of grub.cfg [02:32] is that the same for 40_custom? [02:32] HotPeachesAndcre: It is free because of the community. Yes, go ahead and hook it up. Let me get you a link. [02:32] There are only about 800 viruses for linux machines. Most of those dont do much if anything. Worst case senario for getting a linux virus is that your /home folder would be comprimised. But not the full system unless you run everything as root. So honestly you have a better chance of winning the lotery then getting a Linux virus. [02:33] pfifo i want to remove a directory called 'giza-pp' and when i trid to remove it i got the msg " failed to remove `giza-pp': Permission denied" [02:33] brianb_, it just uses a wild card to copy, so you can have fine contorl over ordering by adjusting the numbers [02:33] HotPeachesAndcre, yes linus is all free open source [02:33] ^linux [02:33] brianb, I don't have that file. Where is your file located. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:34] in the grub.d folder in the etc [02:34] Like Hiexpo stated. Ubuntu Linux OS is free of charge. and you may copy and share it. [02:34] HotPeachesAndcrer: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/why-is-it-free [02:34] wafa run this `sudo rm -rf "giza-pp"` and if it gives you any problems goto fpaste.org and copy the output there [02:34] microsoft wont even support windows [02:35] qin, ok CCSM does exactly what i want, but i woudl like the remove title bar to be program specific, is that possible? [02:35] pfifo thanks i'll try it [02:36] maelstorm: In Windows Decoration plugin you can set rules like:(any) & !(title=Opera) [02:36] qin, the end result is to run VLC with complete interface removed -- including window bar removed [02:37] I am trying to set up HDMI audio as my default sound output. Using aplay I know I need to set card 1 device 3 as the output. However after setting that in my asoundrc, I still cannot get it to work. Any idea why?

Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [03:14] so i gotta either reinstall or wait for a bug fix [03:14] is there a command line to logout [03:14] like, log out of gnome [03:14] i can't click anything [03:14] will do [03:15] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 in my ThinkPad , but I can't use my blue ThinkVantage key now。 Can I fix it and use the blue key again? [03:15] Ive read its supported up to 6.04 I think it was but I found a community build for my ppc and installed but debugging has been a real problem and Im on the verge of switching to something else but Id hate to being Ive ran ubuntu off and on for a decade but getting back in it Im finding myself beating my head against the wall getting flash and other things to work [03:15] so, one one has any idea how to improve better efficiency on the battery life on a laptop with ubuntu 11.04 ? on windows I get 2.5hrs and on linux only 1.5hrs [03:16] if I install the old distro I dont get any updates or anything that really gives me any reason to run ubuntu in general [03:16] josefig, ive read that some kernel version are harder on batteries than others.. [03:17] can someone help me get my wireless workin gon dell inspiron 1525? [03:17] which Im bumming over because Ive got EVERYTHING I own on this system at the moment [03:18] jordy, what is the problem? [03:18] well I want my system to run flash for one thing [03:18] which isnt supported on ppc anymore [03:19] and I really dislike the idea of going to yellowdog or something along the line of debian and then dealing with a total reinstal [03:19] is there a way to completely delete a user (including his home directory) ? [03:19] I just thought you guys might be helpful on some insight [03:20] userdel -r test1 [03:20] the test1 is the username that to be delete [03:20] nubcake_: it is either userdel or deluser if I remember right...and there is a command line switch that tells it to delete the home dir also [03:20] diaoer: thanks [03:20] th0r: thank you also [03:21] jordy, ppc is(in a way) a dying architecture... less people are interested in maintaining it..we go through this where I work with flash on 10.4 mac PPC [03:21] if the userhome have not delete,you can cd home and rm -rf userhome [03:21] what do you do about it [03:21] other than just dump this distro and move on [03:22] jordy, we just patch them 2 the latest versions of what apps needed, but i want to retire the machines :/ [03:22] I know how it goes I just have this emac and Id like to run it without osx [03:22] Is there any plugin for deluge with RSS reading/searching and auto-download? [03:23] I just didnt know if there is a magic fix to get it rolling [03:23] jordy, i understand.... if you are justified, sell it and put some $ toward a macine with amd/intel chipsets [03:23] jordy, not that i am aware of [03:23] have you ever dealt with the debian ppc or yellowdog distros then [03:23] they all have supported versions I just didnt know if it would be the same can of worms over again [03:24] jordy, back when my PS3 was capable of running i dabbled a tiny bit with yellowdog [03:24] nowadays i dont have time to play with ps3 and linux [03:24] how did you like yellowdog [03:25] does it have any redeeming qualities [03:25] Chotaz: Specific content or everything? [03:25] brb... [03:25] didnt play enough to make an opinion.. i will say when i did dabble the forums were alright tho.. this was 2 years? ago [03:25] I just remember hearing people talk smack at it a lot back when [03:25] What does this part of a command do: -s /bin/false [03:25] KyleB, ???? [03:25] not for ps3 but on a ppc mac in general [03:25] jordy, no opinion. [03:25] qin, if possible [03:26] how can I synchronise date/time of my unix box with an NTP like ntp.ubuntu.com [03:26] this though in defense was back when ppc was all mac ran [03:26] jordy, and i regret, i threw out about 5 clamshell macs not knowing back then they could run that port of linux [03:26] KyleB: set's the shell to /bin/false (disables shell access essentially) [03:26] crackguy, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/sync-your-system-clock-with-internet-time-servers-in-ubuntu/ [03:27] I got this system for free and I have to admit Ive always been a fan of breathing new life in older systems but this one has been a bit more than I usually deal with [03:27] jordy, i hear ya,... im the same way but you have to draw a line sometimes... trust me :P [03:27] Can someone check this log? I think my ati driver is freaking out. output from pmap -d 1571, http://pastebin.com/KD7Muhcx [03:27] Chotaz: Deluge support autoadd, so all you need to do it to grab torrents and save in specific place, curl and bit of perl should do, but there is many stuff for ftorrent and specific trackers. [03:27] Ubuntu, need help with a program to take a blue ray Movie file and put it on a regular DVD [03:27] Bing0 thanks, I was looking for a unix (command based) solution [03:27] Celthunder: What does disabaling shell access do? [03:28] crackguy, im sure you can do via shell, but that's a start [03:28] well maybe Ill deal with debian and see if that does me any good, being ubuntu under the hood is pretty much the same as far as I understand it [03:28] but Im pretty sure its a official debian release that has the ppc port [03:28] jordy, mostly, check the debian ppc forums too.. read thru them [03:28] qin, i dnt have any coding skills in my resume [03:28] lightly, of course [03:28] I figured the yellowdog system would be good because its never moved past the ppc arch. [03:28] I just think as far as eye candy it has nothing [03:29] which is shallow but linux always had some interesting features to keep me interested as far as that goes [03:30] we all need to donate to linux [03:30] but now the new release is out and Im wondering if I upgraded my ubuntu it might break the whole thing being its a hacked release I have on here at the moment [03:30] Chotaz: http://goo.gl/sEr1X http://goo.gl/nImbE [03:31] the hacked copy was all I could run to get 10.10 on here but I didnt look far enough in I think I got excited and started installing [03:32] so with that being said do you guys have any opinion in if I should try the yellowdog or debian release [03:32] what is hacked? [03:32] Ubuntu, need help with a program to take a blue ray Movie file and put it on a regular DVD [03:32] my 10.10, its been modified to run on ppc [03:32] ok [03:32] Im just leaning on debian because they have a mint skin and I dont know if you guys ever ran linux mint but its slick shit [03:33] !br [03:33] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [03:33] but as I stated yellowdog has never been built for anything BUT ppc [03:33] to run ubuntu u must have at least 1 gb ram [03:33] 11.04 [03:35] jordy: I think gentoo have goot ppc support [03:35] *good [03:35] What does creating a user without shell access do? [03:35] isnt gentoo really technical to install though [03:35] qin, those seem to not-user friendly solutions, thanks for the suggestion tho, I found out about flexget, has its own deluge plugin and all [03:35] seems like it was really intense last time I wanted to run it [03:35] Chotaz: Noted, thanks for tip [03:36] jordy: I guess, similar to alternative installer of ubuntu. [03:36] im trying to decrypt some email sent to me and enigmail keeps giving me the error secret key not available [03:36] i have a good ? how may i block port 631 except when i want to run ipp [03:37] pfifo sudo apt-get autoremove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [03:37] to run xubuntu u need 126 ram :) [03:37] fixed it for me [03:37] I have a read-only program on a cd badly made in macromedia flash, [03:37] Where is the xorg.conf in 11.04 ? [03:37] well thanks dudes for that Im gonna go figure out something [03:37] And I can't chmod +x it to run it using wine. [03:37] How can I mark the .exe as executable despite it being read-only? [03:38] semarjt, odd, that should be blacklisted [03:38] Hello all. I've got a Dell Optiplex GX620 running through a KVM, that I can't get Ubuntu 11.04 to give me a decent resolution on. I'm assuming it can't tell what monitor i'm using because of the KVM. Isn't there a way to tell Ubuntu to just use a higher resolution anyway? [03:40] Cajun_Lan_Man: How are you starting KVM? [03:40] hi all, has anybody tried using wicd-cli to connect to a wifi? i can't seem to see how to pass the key/passphrase [03:40] there should be a command that lets you change your res manually. don't remember off the top of my head [03:40] Jordan_U: sorry, i don't understand the question. It's a little box that allows me to share a single keyboard/video/monitor input. [03:41] Bite: Copy it somewhere else, change the mount options for the filesystem it's on, or use "wine /path/to/file.exe" from a terminal to run it despite it not being executable. [03:41] Cajun_Lan_Man: I thought you meant Kernel Virtual Machine :) [03:41] hi there i upgrded to 11.04 now i can loging to gnome but i can login in comand prompt. gdm screen is returning again and again [03:41] Jordan_U: haha nope. Not quite that advanced yet.

[03:48] p_res: its in .mp4 [03:48] yoshie: just use devede and it should shrink any file you add down to the selected size of 4.7GB for regular dvd-r. [03:48] yoshie: or 4.4GB effective.

Please ignore it, DON'T click on untrusted links, and type « /msg ubottu exploit » if you want more information. [03:57] Jordan_U: more likely. [03:58] ?[\0x01]DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [03:58] it just brought me to a black window and ubuntu wouldnt load [03:58] Jordan_U r u from usa? [03:59] rubenjr: Why does that matter? [03:59] help ^ [03:59] rubenjr: just check connection info for x user and you'll get an idea of what country users are from. approx. idea anyway. [03:59] Jordan_U just wonderign if i can add u on here [04:00] how do I get back to a login for xwindows or gnome? [04:01] rubenjr: IRC doesn't really have a concept of "adding" people. [04:01] txh: logout. [04:02] i need some friends on here lol [04:02] Jordan_U: he may have some sort of weird irc client that can save favs or something. [04:02] I want to get on to my currently running session [04:02] i dont know how to use ubuntu [04:02] I setup a 30 gb hd file to a new virtualbox 4.0, but ubuntu 11.04 32bits installation tells me that I need 4.4 gb ??? [04:02] i have XChat [04:02] rubenjr: we're all here to help when we can. ;-) [04:04] afeijo that is minimum [04:04] Donnie_Darko21, 4.4 is minimum, I gave 30 [04:04] so no problem then :) if u r rich in space :) [04:05] Donnie_Darko21, but I cannot install ubuntu lol, it is an error! shouldn't, but its here [04:06] afeijo: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" from within the VM? [04:06] perharps your kernel situation is not good [04:06] Jordan_U, great, I was googling for some command to check if my vdi is there [04:06] how many kernels u have? [04:07] Jordan_U, empty! :p I've done something wrong with vboxmanage [04:07] Donnie_Darko21, was the kernels question for me? [04:08] if u upgrade kernels sometimes virtualbox cant work correct [04:08] Donnie_Darko21, its all brand new [04:08] :) [04:09] then whats the output of virtualbox? === cipher__ is now known as cipher [04:10] i dont even know how to check if i have the right video card drivers === cipher is now known as cipher_ [04:10] installed [04:10] i didn't have b43fwcutter or broadcom sta common installed [04:10] I have having trouble installing Java JDK 6 through the ubuntu software manager, I need it so i can setup ADB for my Android [04:10] rubenjr: if unity is working all good then you're all good. [04:10] reuteras, system, administration, restricted drivers.. check there [04:10] but my wireless worked fine before natty [04:10] it'll kick up if it doesn't like your drivers. [04:10] gf [04:11] nobody knows here hoow I can load back into gnome classic on ubuntu from the terminal and get back to my running session? [04:11] p_res whats unity [04:12] omg. default desktop gui for 11.04 release. [04:12] that what you use? [04:12] yes === iAmerikan is now known as Kingrat [04:12] games dont work on here =[ [04:13] yeea there very slow on ubuntu unity [04:13] txh: ctrl+alt+f7 (or F8 or higher). === Zorlin is now known as Guest37456 [04:14] games dont work on ubuntu. why? [04:14] wine doesnt work to good either [04:15] it is compiz and default unity destop, use classic pannel its much faster === Guest37456 is now known as Gnomethrower [04:17] rubenjr: simple, games are not developed to work on linux. [04:17] anyone ever heard of an error like this one. Enlightenment cannot setup randr wrapping. I have not been able to find any info on this specific message [04:19] DreamLauncher: i seem to remember that same message many years ago when i used to use enlightenment. i used to ignore it as it never seemed to affect system performance of any kind. [04:19] so, i'm playing around with the xsession files in gdm. why is it that normally when the session is the default, gnome-session --session=ubuntu has the profile as unity, but when i execute it myself, the profile is "default" [04:20] i also remember not being able to find any information on it too. [04:20] enlightenment won't load because of that message for me [04:20] oh ok. i had it during system usage. [04:20] assuming it's the same message. perhaps not. [04:20] can someone PM that can help me install Java JDK 6? [04:22] p_res: I think that it may be a missing package just not sure what package it could be [04:25] DreamLauncher: yeah I dunno mate. [04:25] Why does my time get set back three hours every time i reset my computer even though i edit it to the correct time? [04:25] that's the main problem with enlightenment, due to the small userbase, there doesn't seem to be any gurus out there. === Toph is now known as Guest58408 [04:26] Hello all. Sound stopped working today for me. When I reach the login screen, I get the welcome sound normally. But as soon as I log on, I cannot hear any sound. Yesterday, I removed both my wife and I from the audio group and called sudo alsa force-reload and the sound worked perfectly fine at least for that session. [04:27] my menu bar, launch bar, and window borders disappeared. Alt-F2 and Alt-Tab stopped working. How do I get all of them back? [04:27] most likely because the settings werent applied until a reboot [04:27] armence__: sure it's ont mute? [04:27] just revert your settings back and everything should be fine [04:27] so, i'm playing around with the xsession files in gdm. why is it that normally when the session is the default, gnome-session --session=ubuntu has the profile as unity, but when i execute it myself, the profile is "default" [04:27] what to you call the top bar in natty? [04:27] p_res, Nope. Not on mute unless there is a special mute button I didn't hear about [04:28] how do I revert ALL of my settings for everything to the defaults? [04:28] how do i know if the bluetooth connection on my machine can receive files? [04:28] armence__: lol, only in desktop panel. [04:28] i'm using ubuntu10.10 [04:28] p_res: Nope [04:29] ok. [04:31] lucky for me i don't use ubuntu for audio, so i'm no expert when it comes to audio issues. sorry. === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey-home [04:31] All of my window borders and the launcher bars and window selection bar disappeared when I switched from "desktop wall" to "rotate cube" in the compiz config. How do I get everything back? I'm willing to reset my stuff to the defaults, if I just knew how [04:31] trololo: same result when relogin? [04:32] p_res: and reboot, yeah [04:33] trololo: you'd probably have to delete unity config directory in your /home i'd imagine. [04:33] only a guess though. [04:34] what does 11.04 server edition have that 10.10 didn't? [04:35] Hello everyone [04:35] p_res: I can't find a unity or .unity in my /home or ~/ [04:35] Anyone here? [04:35] MishaFashionista, whats the problem? [04:35] trololo: gnome had config files and directories. i just assumed unity would have too. sorry for bum-steer. [04:35] Nothing, I actually just fixed a problem [04:36] trololo: i'm in windows atm so i can't poke around my own system. [04:36] If anyone has any issues with ati card and gets a blank screen after grub [04:36] All you have to do is install the 11.5 driver from amd [04:36] a well dressed fix I assume.;) [04:36] A buddy of mine is on the road in europe, and would like to be able to VPN back through a more secure internet connection. Any chance there are some packages more straight-forward than a full-blown VPN/NAT setup? [04:36] I"d like to setup a tor proxy so I can get lots of pictures... anyone can help? [04:36] MishaFashionista: i use amd card. no issues here. [04:36] Really [04:36] I have an envy 14 and I would get a blank screen about 75% of boot ups [04:37] And more functional than ssh -D? [04:37] p3d0bear, large data is not apprecated on tor [04:37] Oh I forgot to say p_res is your graphics card have switchable graphics? [04:37] p_res: hm :/. Well, I got my window borders back, but the menu bar's missing and I can't use any keyboard shortcuts [04:38] MishaFashionista: no. [04:38] trololo: sorry to hear. [04:38] :-( [04:38] Oh I see, yeah then it must be a problem with 5650 or swithable graphics [04:38] how do I log out without the menu bar? [04:38] MishaFashionista: i use an old x1050 and it's fine. [04:39] When I installed the proprietary driver sto on previous ubuntu 10.04 the screen had rainbow colors [04:39] trololo: just reboot. [04:39] :( okay [04:39] alt+f4 or similar to get yourself a tty. login and reboot command as root. [04:40] What's a good way to blog? [04:40] Like I want to create a website [04:40] trololo: ctrl+alt+F4, login, then "sudo service gdm restart". [04:41] trololo: Log in with the classic session and re-enable unity in ccsm. [04:41] sorry my bad. i meant ctrl+alt+f4. [04:42] how can i enable the libboost1.40 packages in synaptic? [04:42] i always do that... [04:42] hello is someone here to help? [04:42] i am having an issue [04:43] if you have a question ask it - we will try to help [04:43] :) [04:43] p_res: having a hard time locating the opengl package, any suggestions? [04:43] DreamLauncher: what are you trying to do [04:43] ? [04:43] MishaFashionista: look into wordpress if you want to do blogging - its a decent place to start [04:44] connecting to wifi via terminal is just mind-blowing, ugh [04:44] Ok cool thanks [04:44] going through the various packages that are listed as required by enlightenment [04:44] i give up [04:44] angheloko: dhclient doesn't do the job? [04:44] ok im trying to use vuze on 11.04 and it has installed and will open although it seems to be getting no internet connection ive done some research and it seems that it has built in antivirus im wondering if that is the problem [04:44] DreamLauncher: oh right. sorry. can't help there. [04:44] what's the error message again? [04:44] sroy2, i couldnt even get to that part.. im stuck with wpa_supplicant [04:45] not getting any error msg [04:45] just doesnt connect [04:45] Thanks guys have a good day :) [04:45] and wen i try to search nothing searches\ [04:45] it doesnt do anything [04:45] angheloko: mmm I'm assuming you have the drivers installed for the card? [04:45] well i get internet connection with everything else [04:46] just for vuze it will not connect [04:46] transmission works fine aswell just no built in search function [04:46] yes.. i have a broadcom and i was able to install bcmwl-kernel-source [04:46] i was able to scan via iwconfig scan [04:47] ne ideas? [04:47] I have two wireless card, how do I disable one to stop loading at boot? [04:47] sroy2, i just keep on getting a couldn't associate error [04:47] n-iCe, /etc/network/interfaces [04:47] angheloko: are the ... what are they ... ?brodcom-sda? drivers installed [04:48] ok i geuss no one has ne help for me [04:48] amber_: sorry I don't use vuze, maybe some else here can help though [04:48] angheloko: I use network-manager [04:48] sroy2, hmm.. that i am not sure of.. anyway i'm planning on getting a UI with aptoncd, perhaps fluxbox, just so i can config via GUI [04:48] amber_: port settings all good? [04:49] how do i get a list of everything installed on my system? [04:49] yes it was working fine on prev windows vista i just recently switched over [04:49] angheloko: I had to install the bcmwl-kernal-source, broadcom-sta-common, and b43-fwcutter packages before I got my broadcom wireless card to work [04:49] kernel... can't spell [04:50] amber_: try a different torrent client to see if it connects also. [04:50] sroy2, then you connected via wpa_supplicant? [04:50] sroy2, perhaps im missing the drivers then [04:50] transmission works fine but i like the built in search function on vuze === Guest89143 is now known as olol85 [04:50] hi,, look waht i founD!! linux on tV !! [04:50] n-iCe, try downing the device, eg ifdown [interface] via the terminal [04:50] does ubuntu 11.04 have built in antivirus? [04:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3u0crR2V5M&NR=1 [04:50] Can anyone tell me how to see a list of everything installed on my system, I am trying to install something yet it says its already installed but i cant find it? [04:51] angheloko: I was using a wpa2 network :S [04:51] amber_: does not need it. [04:51] im wondering if thats the problem [04:51] amber_: so no. [04:51] ok [04:51] !clone > Tempus_Fugit [04:51] Tempus_Fugit, please see my private message [04:51] amber_: no, that is not the issue. [04:51] angheloko: I did, but it will load at boot [04:51] i read on the main website from where i downloaded it that it had built in virus protection [04:51] sroy2, i am also using wpa2? what did u do next to connect? wicd-cli? [04:51] p_res: one could say MOTU is the "built in antivirus" [04:51] Tempus_Fugit: the file ~/my-packages will be a list of every package installed. [04:51] seidos: true! lol [04:52] angheloko: I want something like turning off a wireless switch that in this case I dn't have [04:52] Time update showing error also when trying install new package show this error : http://www12.0zz0.com/2011/05/14/18/534753353.png how fix it? [04:52] angheloko: I was using a gui so it did pretty much everything for me but I'll back out to the command line to figure it out [04:52] amber_: so, it could be said that it has "built in anti-virus" [04:52] n-iCe, yeah, that will load on reboot.. can you see what /etc/network/interfaces contain? [04:53] ok is there any way to configure that or do you really think that has nothing to do with it ive done sooooooooooo much research on this and cannot figure out why vuze wont get connection [04:53] amber_: got a link for that? curious to see it. [04:53] yes yes yes [04:53] Iraqi: intrepid has reached EOL. [04:53] !eol > Iraqi [04:53] Iraqi, please see my private message [04:53] amber_: try another client. transmission is installed by default. try that and see if it connects. [04:54] n-iCe: rfkill to swich off one of cards [04:54] n-iCe, do you know the driver of the other wireless? [04:54] bastidrazor: thanks [04:54] it does but i like built in search function on vuze it makes things so much easier [04:54] any other clients w similar built in search functions? [04:54] hello [04:54] Iraqi: you're welcome. [04:55] can anyone tell me how i can "cd /var/spool/cron/crontabs/" [04:55] wc 8 [04:55] when i try sudo i am told i don't have permissions [04:55] Tempus_Fugit: keep things in this channel please. [04:55] ezrafree: It's not readable by normal users. You'll probably want to do something like "sudo -i" first [04:55] perhaps vuze has a support forum you could try. [04:55] amber_: [04:55] does any other torrent clients have built in search functions similar to vuze's? [04:55] sudo su ? [04:55] rww: ah, thanks [04:56] sroy2, yeah.. i;m planning on getting a gui.. i just thought i could do it via term.. my linux skills is weak [04:56] amber_: also might be worth reading this while you're at it. http://tinyurl.com/292e9g7 [04:56] su sudo -i" [04:56] bastidrazor: I am trying to find appinventor on my machine and says its installed yet cant find it anywhere? [04:56] Iraqi: ... no. [04:56] angheloko: nah its always good to do it from the command line [04:56] rww: must be root I think first === gremset_ is now known as gremset [04:57] angheloko: I would try something like sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "networkid" key "password" [04:58] is there a way to set up backups of a directory in ubuntu? [04:58] sroy2, i rem doing that alr... i'll try again [04:58] Tempus_Fugit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SPv3pL-N5g here u go [04:58] like from one drive to another, to make like a "mirror" of the files? [04:58] ezrafree: cp ? [04:58] rww: what about this error when booting show this error : /init: line 3: can't open /dev .........also buffer I/0 error device sr0. logical block and will do that like flood just number will change to high [04:59] rww: Are you there out? [04:59] Tempus_Fugit: how did you install appinventor as it is not in any default repository? [04:59] or out* [04:59] ezrafree: Or better rsync [04:59] ezrafree: cp -r ./* /newdir ? [04:59] Iraqi: intrepid, which it appears you're using, is not supported in #ubuntu. [04:59] well i did it using rsync, i thought, but now i can't find it in my crontab -l [05:00] rww ;-) it's new v [05:00] i want to remove pulseaudio because i think it's conflicting with alsa, which i need, but synaptic says it needs to remove indicator-sound and ubuntu-desktop (among others). do i need either of these? i'm very hesitant to remove anything after the last time caused me to have to reinstall ubuntu. any help greatly appreciated [05:00] i want to undo the backup but now i can't find it =/ [05:00] rww: why I'm bad luck every new version ;-) :D [05:00] bastidrazor: there are 2 ways I could do it, one is by downloading the package from google then using either archive manager or ubuntu software center to install [05:01] ezrafree: Each user have own crontab (sudo crontab -e != crontab -e) [05:01] does anybody here have any experience with handling vuze problems on 11.04? [05:01] amber_: why do not download utorrent it's very faster and simple [05:01] i like built in search function on vuze [05:01] Vuze is need java must have java [05:01] Iraqi: give up. i tried suggesting other clients. [05:01] amber_, just say it, even if i dont know i still would try [05:02] i got nowhere. [05:02] bastidrazor: or the site says the use terminal and navigate to the folder where the .deb file is and use a cl install [05:02] rww: You didn't answer my question where is my error? [05:03] vuze installed correctly opens fine but will not load anything that usses the internet including home page of vuze or search function does not give me ne errors and is even able to do a speed test but even dumping a downloaded torrent form a browser in it yields nothing it simply seems to have to network functionality [05:03] rww: Can I private you? [05:04] no* [05:04] amber_: did you tried with other file torrent not same? [05:04] yes\ [05:04] some time tracker will stop and you not know that [05:05] Iraqi: how does utorrent compare with transmission? i'm new to ubuntu and had been liking utorrent on windows but transmission is the default on natty and utorrent's nowhere to be seen [05:05] how do i pastebin an image? i took a screenshot that appinventor is in spm [05:05] amber_: you installed Vuze or downloaded portable? [05:05] is it possible in ubuntu to password protect a certain directory? [05:05] its nativily installed [05:05] !paste | Tempus_Fugit [05:05] Tempus_Fugit: 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. [05:06] amber_: download portable it's better then installing Vuze [05:06] like thru wine? [05:06] no no [05:06] how? [05:06] download Vuze portable for linux [05:06] adam61, transmission is nice ! I like the way it's simple [05:06] ok just search vuze portable on google? [05:06] adam61: uTorrent is Windows-only, Transmission is the default available client for Ubuntu, but there are others available. [05:06] I think in link dev of azuraz you can download it [05:07] hi i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04 [05:07] hi i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04 [05:07] lighta, ya i think i kind of like it too just not used to it yet i guess [05:07] adam61: if you want a UI somewhat similar to uTorrent, there is Deluge. [05:07] rww: rww [05:07] vuze is bloated slow rubbish. it's beyond me why anyone insists on using it these days when there are much better alternatives. [05:07] amber_: transmission is fine.. the default torrents app... you even get treated like a king with 0 seeding/upload [05:07] I have deal with you rww believe me ;-) [05:07] tensorpudding, i was able to get utorrent for ubuntu11 on my last install. haven't tried looking for it again and i forget where i got it [05:08] adam61: it must have been emulated through Wine then. [05:08] Who is team or admin of ubuntu? [05:08] adam61: you can run some Windows programs that way [05:08] bastidrazor: here is the image i just saved http://imagebin.org/153643 [05:08] tensorpudding: ah, that sounds right. are there drawbacks to doing that? [05:09] adam61: well, they don't always work [05:09] sroy2, the password is the plain password yes? [05:09] hi i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04 [05:09] tensorpudding: on an unrelated note, i was wondering if you know about removing pulseaudio.. if it's safe, proper way to go about it etc [05:10] adam61: probably a bad idea. why do you want to do it? [05:10] Tempus_Fugit: possibly you shoudl go to the website it suggests in the description. [05:11] Tempus_Fugit: notice it says 'Used in conjuction with...' meaning there is another application needed. [05:11] tensorpudding i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04... can you please help me out?? [05:11] I have Wubi installed and am trying to get ubuntu to bypass the GRUB menu. Any ideas? [05:11] tensorpudding: i think it's conflicting with alsa.. i've found countless threads on it, but they all suggest removing by command line, which i am not familiar with and am not confident at all doing. synaptic says that for it to remove pulseaudio it would need to remove indicator-sound and ubuntu-desktop. do u know if either of these are crucial or not? [05:12] adam61: you don't want to remove pulseaudio, and it doesn't conflict with alsa [05:12] adam61: in all likelihood you're using alsa already === py9371 is now known as chef4 === bafilius is now known as dickledildodius [05:14] bastidrazor: could you try installing this and see if you can get the actual program to open and if so where you found it??.. http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/learn/setup/#setupComputer [05:14] tensorpudding: ok, i appreciate that side of it.. i've found tonnes of people though who have done it and said it works much better because it no longer conflicts with other soundservers. i am using alsa but it's not exclusive across all applications and therefore i'm getting a lot of interruptions and freezing [05:14] dickledildodius: Please chose a more apropriate nick. [05:14] adam61: what do you mean when you say you're "using alsa' === HarrowedAU[BNC] is now known as HarrowedAU [05:14] bastidrazor: btw I am running Natty [05:15] tensorpudding: i mean i have installed the alsa firmware. it was a required step in initializing my tascam us122 audio interface [05:15] adam61: which instructions were you following? [05:16] adam61: the problem is that there's lots of instructions all over the place that conflict with various things, even instructions written for old versions of ubuntu [05:16] hi i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04 ... can anyone here please help me out was wondering if libml.so.2.1 would be the problem .. i used the opencv with it but now it says it is missing the shared library "libml.so.2.1" [05:16] adam61: What program are you having problems with specifically? [05:16] tensorpudding: i used the instructions on the ubuntu forums. i think they were for an older release, but they worked when nothing else did [05:16] trying to install ubuntu using wubi on WinXP but keep freezing up in the middle of the iso file download, even after I tell Windows Firewall to unblock the program that's downloading it === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey-home [05:17] Jordan_U: just a lot of interruptions and freezing with my sound, especially when i run more than one application [05:17] it's a lot better now than it was but still issues [05:18] adam61: Can you give some examples of applications? [05:18] can someone help me please? [05:18] hi i have Syntek USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera and its not taking pictures after i upgraded to 11.04 ... can anyone here please help me out.... was wondering if libml.so.2.1 would be the problem .. i used the opencv with it but now it says it is missing the shared library "libml.so.2.1" [05:19] Jordan_U: just little things even like opening my music folder causes audacious to just stop.. same with opening system settings, internet etc [05:20] oO === jackneill is now known as Jackneill [05:20] Dude [05:20] Hey everyone. I just got a used laptop (e6500) from my mate. Whenever it goes to sleep the screen turns white instead of off. Any idea how I could got about troubleshooting this one?

[05:20] *Dell Latitude (e6500) [05:20] Jordan_U: lots of threads i found had ppl complaining of similar conflicts caused by pulseaudio and they said that it was cured with a purging of it. i want to do this but don't know cli at all and synaptic says that to remove it itneeds to also remove ubuntu-desktop, which i don't know but it sounds important lol === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:21] vbxc [05:21] Tempus_Fugit: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/learn/setup/setuplinux.html read the bottom 'Next Steps' [05:21] dude [05:21] bastidrazor: really??....then why would it say you need to install it?

[05:22] yeah you go to update drivers [05:22] chef4: Which channel can't you send to?

[05:25] can someone help me with this one please? [05:25] adam61: ubuntu-deskop is not crucial, but I don't recommend removing pulseaudio. [05:25] I successfully installed a kernel module to disable the nvidia card, but I'm having trouble re-enabling it === dickledildodius is now known as bafilius [05:25] adam61: pulseaudio can work with alsa, i'm pretty sure it runs on top of alsa usually [05:25] pixxxi451: why dont you download it than install it [05:26] it keeps freezing in the middle of the iso file download chef4 [05:26] Jordan_U: why don't you recommend removing it if alsa can handle all the same stuff? just curious cause i really have an itch to remove it, especially after reading hours worth of ppl saying it helped them [05:27] pixxi451 are you trying to do a dual boot or something? [05:27] Gskellig: installed a kernel module to disable another one? sounds dangerous. have you considered blacklist.conf? [05:27] adam61: alsa alone *can't* do everything that pulseaudio can do.

[05:33] adam61: losing the ubuntu-desktop package isn't a huge problem, this is a metapackage; not having it means that you removed something that came in the original ubuntu-desktop group [05:33] Jordan_U: cool, thanks. all of those things i don't really care about so i should be ok to remove then?

If it does, then ask in #pulseaudio if they have any ideas for how better to fix the problem and if they don't then remove pulseaudio.

[06:15] chrislu5tic: yeah, that's transcoding [06:15] supports h.264, webm and theora at least [06:15] okay... I will have a look into that... i will be asking questions about it momentarily LOL [06:16] opera, whats up [06:16] how do u make the computer to automatically log in to an account ? [06:16] it's mostly used for converting formats for different devices [06:16] like mobile and psp [06:16] eman99: In Ubuntu programs are often subdivided in modules to make programming easier. modules serve as components for several programs. in a new Ubuntu releas a component may have been changed for example to eliminate an errror. Thus in a new release a program that depends on this component needs to refer to another component (with a different release name and date). [06:16] i want study on syestem mange of linux,who can tell me what book i may read [06:16] tensorpudding: ok, got that done. how do i restart pulseaudio? [06:16] IcemanV9: n/m your syntax was what i needed just forgot to put echo ..thanks [06:17] when creating a Natty VM with KVM/libvirt, what's the flag I need to pass to the kernel in order to spawn a serial console so I don't have to VNC into the box? [06:17] G00053: sweet [06:17] quizme, you want to autologin to your computer right.? [06:17] i see. its to make sure all the differnt versions binary libraries are the right versions [06:17] nit-wit, yeah like when i boot it up. [06:17] adam61: one way would be to log out then back in [06:18] k cool be right back. thank [06:18] <_rook> I have gpg keys for a repository in a .gpg file on my computer. running an apt-key add command doesn't seem to import them. anyone know a step I'm missing? [06:18] s [06:18] nit-wit i think i found it: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/automatically-login-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-login-screen/ === alexim_ is now known as alexim [06:18] cool [06:19] tensorpudding: thank you this app works beautifully very user friendly [06:19] nit-with thanks [06:19] nit-wit thanks [06:19] who can recommand me some book on system manage about LINUX? [06:19] nit-wit (thanks for thinking that i'm cool) [06:19] once I finish downloading the Ubuntu iso file, how do I get Wubi to point to it? [06:20] _rook: Add the repository's address in Synaptic. This will handle the gpg key too. [06:20] <_rook> bullgard4, i actually never thought to try that, thank you [06:20] chrislu5tic: it might actually support other formats than just the ones listed there, but i don't know for sure [06:20] quizme, in our own minds we all are.;) [06:21] nit-wit lol [06:22] working with a WinXP laptop, how do I get Wubi to point to the Ubuntu iso file once I've downloaded it? [06:22] it's all good, I mostly use a converter on my macbook, but it would not convert ogv files.. but now it is in mpeg and I can convert to anyformat with my mac, I actually have the macbuntu theme put in and a bunch of terminal tweaks to make it like a macbook..hahah [06:22] chrislu5tic: just a word of caution [06:22] tensorpudding: word of caution? [06:22] chrislu5tic: transcoding multiple times causes video and audio degradataion [06:22] Ohh [06:23] yess. like an old tape [06:23] hahahah [06:23] hello from chile [06:23] Hi... I was playing around with nethogs and for some reason I see a process being run by root with a process name "..2:22-210.45.114.175:53612"... this is slightly troublesome because the IP in that name is in China! I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to shed some light on the situation [06:23] chrislu5tic: all the formats there are lossy, meaning that every time you encode you lose information [06:23] can anyone help me please? :) [06:24] who can help me ,i need an ebook about system manage [06:24] adam61: does it work? [06:24] tensorpussing: wow.. that... sucks.. [06:24] hey room=) [06:24] tensorpudding** [06:24] hi all, I'm having a bit of an issue with ubuntu servers with virtual hosts trying to send email from a php page. Some email gets sent but some gets me an smtp 550 error brief description here http://paste.linuxassist.net/215641 [06:24] pixxi451: you may have to patient. i have never used wubi [06:25] *to be [06:25] opera: there's a lot of books out there on system management, just check out amazon [06:25] ok seidos, thanx [06:25] ok so i have a weird occurrence, no so much a problem as much as an annoyance. [06:25] Does anyone know anything about CPU frequency scaling and how to tweak the CPU frequency for better performance? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. [06:25] glitchd, spit it out man. [06:25] every time i log in to ubuntu, a certain folder opens..? [06:26] i cant for the life of my figure out why [06:26] but i would like it to stop [06:26] help? [06:26] glitchd, what folder? [06:26] glitchd, which folder [06:26] tensorpudding: ok, i tried it and it didn't work, so i changed the file back to what it was, logged out then logged back in, and now it's not working properly - under 'input' and 'output' there is only one option instead of two (tascam's are missing) and in 'hardware' when i select the tascam and hit test speakers it just exits [06:26] do you think a reboot might work? [06:26] Snakkah, nit-wit its my mine craft folder [06:26] Mine craft folder... [06:27] Snakkah, there is a panel addon not sure if that is what your looking for. [06:27] adam61: where is this that you're hitting test? [06:27] tensorpudding, what means "check out amazon [06:27] any clues guys?? [06:27] glitchd, have you added anything IE minecraft to the startup applications [06:27] exit [06:27] opera: search www.amazon.com [06:28] nit-wit, not that i know [06:28] of [06:28] nit-wit, how would i check? [06:28] tensorpudding: it's sound preferences > hardware > test speakers [06:28] nit-wit, yeah, I know about the panel addon but I was looking for something a little more permanent, like something I could run from the Terminal. From what I can tell, my CPU is set to the "ondemand" setting which is recommended, but I want to know if there's any way to customize this further. [06:28] pixxi451: http://wubi.sourceforge.net/faq.php [06:28] glitchd, open it and take a looksie. === cgibson_ is now known as cgibson [06:28] thanx Jordan_U :) [06:28] adam61: there's a tascam option in there now? [06:29] nit-wit, what am i looking for in the folder? [06:29] pixxi451: You're welcome. You still haven't answered why you want to use Wubi instead of a normal dual boot though... [06:29] tensorpudding, i see,thank you [06:29] tensorpudding: ya that hasn't changed, but now the tascam options are missing from the input and output tabs [06:29] and the sound isnt' working [06:29] because I'm working with WinXP, I'm still a newbie using Linux here :P I've been spoiled rotten by WinBlows [06:29] nit-wit, wait i think i figured it out [06:29] tensorpudding: should i try rebooting do you think? [06:30] glitchd, go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications. See if that folder is set to open at startup. [06:30] glitchd, there is a gui called startup applications open and look for anything minecraft [06:30] nit-wit, i remember sometime before i found that button to remember currently running apps. maybe i clicked it when the minecraft folder was open and now everything i log in no matter if that option is checked or not, it opens it? [06:30] adam61: i suppose you might try removing the # as before, then rebooting [06:31] Snakkah, nit-wit no there is nothing about minecraft in the startup applications preferences [06:31] adam61: oh darn, what was i thinking [06:31] adam61: i had you edit the wrong line [06:32] glitchd, go to home .config/autostart and look there [06:32] adam61: you should have changed the one starting with alsa-module-sink [06:32] tensorpudding: awesome ahah that's a relief i hope [06:32] adam61: not source [06:32] k [06:32] adam61: source is for input [06:32] so keep the other line how it originally was then eh [06:32] adam61: so go in to the configuration file as before, and change the place where it says source, to sink [06:33] Hi, is there another program i can use , Ventrilo is not working. Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit [06:34] eman99: In Ubuntu programs are often subdivided in modules to make programming easier. modules serve as components for several programs. in a new Ubuntu releas a component may have been changed for example to eliminate an errror. Thus in a new release a program that depends on this component needs to refer to another component (with a different release name and date). [06:36] How do I uninstall Citrix Client from Ubuntu? [06:36] hello, could anyone tell me as how to run XP in safe mood at grub windows (where there are 2 bootloaders (xp SP3 and ubuntu 10.4), since XP is not getting load but ubuntu is running smooth. [06:36] Snakkah, nit-wit nope nothing about the minecraft folder [06:36] bestwithu, choose XP hit f8 and hold it down [06:36] bestwithu, what happens when u try xp? [06:37] Zelzelos, it only comes blank screen (not even loads actually) [06:37] nit-wit: i tried to do that a lot of time but its not helping me out [06:37] bestwithu, is this a new install of a Ubuntu as well [06:38] bestwithu, do you get any windows stuff at all like a logo or anything? bestwithu [06:38] people everyday i initiated a download on my ubuntu pc and lock the screen and leave, i notice that the internet connection gets cut within 10 to 15 mins after i leave. I am connecting to internet via reliance data card - usb modem. what are the odds of my ubuntu responsible for this ? [06:38] man mysql: "For more information, please refer to the MySQL Reference Manual, which may already be installed locally." How can I check if the »MySQL Reference Manual« is installed locally? [06:38] Zelozelos : no at all, no logos or anything just blank screen [06:38] bestwithu, what did u do just b4 it stopped working? or what broke it? [06:39] nit-wit: its just a normal version ubuntu 10.04 and grub 2.0 [06:39] raviepic3: what app was downloading the file? [06:39] Hi, is there another program i can use , Ventrilo is not working. Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit [06:39] ActionParsnip, Transmission [06:39] bestwithu, I'm with Zelozelos last question? [06:39] any chinese here ? [06:39] !cn | dylan_ [06:39] dylan_: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [06:40] hi [06:40] Jordan glad to meet you here [06:40] Zelzozelos : there was immediate shut down, without proper method as PC power went off when i was playing a gmae, then it never staeted [06:40] i am new to ubuntu [06:40] bestwithu, its sounding like you messed up your windows boot, grub is prob working fine [06:40] !bootinfo | bestwithu [06:40] bestwithu: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [06:40] tensorpudding: same thing this time as last - tascam options missing from input and output and it exits when i test the speakers after selecting tascam. the one positive difference is that before, when i first logged in, it didn't show the tascam option in sound preferences at all until i unplugged it and plugged it back in. now it shows it without having to do that, but no sound. so lousy tradeoff but maybe we've mad [06:40] e some progress? wishful thinking? lol [06:41] raviepic3: there is an option in transmission to prevent ubuntu turning stuff off with active torrents. Use them, see if it makes a difference [06:41] any other ideas?? [06:41] adam61: hmm [06:41] ActionParsnip, its not transmission which is stopping the download, the modem itself gets undetected after some time, so there is not internet connectivity [06:41] adam61: the tascam option showed up before you edited the pulseaudio config? [06:41] !pm | dylan_ [06:41] dylan_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [06:42] zelzelos : actually yes i am feeling bad though since lots of stuff works on windows only... [06:42] tensorpudding: once i plugged it back in, yes [06:42] ubottu: i am looking in to it, thanks. [06:42] bestwithu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:42] r u familiar with lubuntu [06:42] tensorpudding: but now no [06:42] adam61: ah [06:42] adam61: then what we did was probably not helpful [06:42] bestwithu, thers an almost simple fix, theres a prog called shoot i forgot whats it called, you install it to cd or usb and it runs debian then theres a prog running that will fix grub or load a generic windows loader so you can use sys disk to fix [06:42] jordan 你对lubuntu熟悉吗 [06:43] adam61: probably you should recomment that line in the config [06:43] bestwithu, run this script and pastebin all the text.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [06:43] adam61: if the tascam is showing up in your sound config, that means that pulseaudio recognizes it [06:43] tensorpudding: ok i'll do that then log out and brb [06:43] adam61: meaning your problems could well be due to bugs in pulseaudio or the driver [06:43] dylan_: I don't speak Chinese. [06:44] raviepic3: then see if there is an option on the module you can add at load time. If you have a screensaver enabled and power options it may be killing power to the usb when it kicks in. The options stop that happening and are much easier to enable [06:44] tensorpudding: might be worth giving removing pulseaudio a shot u think? [06:44] adam61: i suppose, but you do lose a lot of features by having it removed [06:44] Zelozelos: ultimate boot cd? [06:45] ActionParsnip, that may be the one, it worked great i just went through all that messin around with grub config [06:45] tensorpudding: but i could always test it and then reinstall if i needed without any drawbacks right? [06:45] ActionParsnip, i had same thought and disabled all power saying modes and tried yesterday again, same behaviour :( [06:45] ActionParsnip, but whats the mod you are talking about ? [06:45] adam61: i think so [06:45] nit-wit & Zelozelos, thanks a lot for your help [06:45] Hi, is there another program i can use , Ventrilo is not working. Im using Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit [06:45] ActionParsnip, add what at the ..... what load time ? [06:45] are you talking about transmission or ubuntu ? [06:45] ActionParsnip, the only thing it didnt do was set up the dual boot, i had 2 do that manually [06:45] ActionParsnip, ^ [06:45] bestwithu, no prob use the script for yourself though it is a good one. [06:46] raviepic3: you will need to run: lsmod and identify the module. There is no single answer [06:46] Hey guys, does anyone know if the latest Linux drivers from NVIDIA Version: 270.41.06 is 100% good to go on 11.04? [06:46] ActionParsnip, for some reason os prober would not detect windows [06:46] tensorpudding: is there anything else in that file that you can think of to try changing before i log out? [06:46] hi [06:47] not really [06:47] Zelozelos: did you try os-prober? It usually picks stuff up [06:47] k brb [06:47] when i am typing in chinese, the chinese input's icon becomes a red X, how can i fix it? [06:47] sorry , [06:47] i don't know [06:47] Jordan sorry i thought you were chinese [06:47] I think I need help... I am new to Ubuntu, but I updated to 10.10 about a month ago, now I don't have the Applications, System, and Places menu in the top bar anymore... I thought it was part of the upgrade but now I see it in a screenshot for a tutorial I am trying to follow... How do I get the Applications System Places menus back?

[06:49] i really hope someone can help fix chinese input [06:49] illmortal: it works fine [06:49] adam61: it didn't go back to the way it was before you edited the config?

[06:49] tensorpudding: no, unfortunately not [06:49] hi, is do-release-upgrade safe from jaunty to 11.04? or am i better off with a reinstall [06:50] nit-wit I see a small round icon in he far left of the menu bar, that's all.... besides XChat-GNOME IRC Chat now. [06:50] morning, is there any central update management system voor ubuntu? [06:50] Solnse, right click panel and add the menu back [06:50] thanks all. i'd better find other ways.. [06:50] nit-wit: right click does nothing [06:50] fubada: It is safe to use do-release-upgrade. [06:50] Solnse, add to panel from a right clck.

[06:51] Solnse, top panel in maverick regular gnome-panel? [06:51] bullgard4, so i will have to run it several times to get to 11.04? [06:51] fubada: Yes. [06:51] k [06:52] fubada: no you need to do a lot of upgrading to get Natty [06:52] so am i better off reinstalling?

[06:53] fubada: a clean install will give a cleaner OS and faster [06:53] tensorpudding: ya, we knew it was a risk when we tried it though. probably more reason to try removing pulseaudio? cause that is just a pulseaudio file eh [06:53] adam61: yeah, i guess so [06:53] Solnse, at the end of the panel not on a app. [06:53] nit-wit: thanks, terminal is open [06:54] man mysql: "For more information, please refer to the MySQL Reference Manual, which may already be installed locally." How can I check if the »MySQL Reference Manual« is installed locally? [06:54] nit-wit: i'm pretty sure it's not something I did because I never saw those menu items since I upgraded to 10.10 [06:54] Solnse, killall gnome-panel then at either end of the panel and around in it right click for the add to panel, it sometimes if you have customized the panels is a bit harder [06:55] tensorpudding: how would you recommend going about that? all i found in my searches was suggestions on cli methods, but that's presumably because you don't need any assistance using synaptic. i'm inclined to go synaptic just cause i'm a rookie but what do you think [06:55] so lively ,i enjoy it [06:55] adam61: doing it with synaptic is fine [06:55] nit-wit: I haven't customized anything. Unfortunately in the terminal I recieved gonome-panel: no process found [06:56] tensorpudding: would you remove just one package, all of them or just a few specific ones? [06:56] Solnse, did you run killall gnome-panel in the terminal? [06:56] nit-wit: without typo... gnome-panel of course [06:56] Solnse, killall gnome-panel [06:56] nit-wit: I typed: killall gnome-panel and it responded gnome-panel: no process found [06:57] adam61: if you remove pulseaudio it should get rid of everything that is a problem === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:57] Solnse, your running Maverick are you sur e it sounds like natty do you have a panel on the left part of the screen [06:58] tensorpudding: yeah that's what i'm thinking too. hopefully it will fix it right off the bat but i'm guessing i might have to reinstall alsa or something, but that's not bad at all [06:58] night all [06:58] nit-wit: yes, it has icons for shortcuts to various programs and things? auto-hides and comes out when I mouse over there [06:58] Solnse, that is natty your menua re different. [06:59] tensorpudding: so just to be clear, just one package eh, like the main one.. haha sorry for soo many questions [06:59] adam61: it's okay, i'm sorry that i don't really have any other ideas for fixing it [06:59] np it's cool [06:59] nit-wit: strange I upgraded from inside the operating system I am sure. [06:59] Solnse, I will not make a snide remark here.;) [07:00] nit-wit: I know I am a noob, but how do I get maverick then? [07:00] What does 'o4o' for in ubottu's catchword? [07:00] What does 'o4o' stand for in ubottu's catchword? [07:00] Solnse, if you have natty you will have to do a fresh install, but natty is not bad. [07:01] nit-wit: that means I will loose everything I installed, rails, etc.? lame. [07:01] nit-wit: ok, thanks... can you tell me what natty is then? it's just a different version of ubuntu or ?

[07:11] dr_kludge: In Ubuntu (or any *NIX) you would fopen("/home/dr_kludge/Documents/database.txt, "a+"). [07:11] But what do you expect with wubi? [07:11] nit-wit: its also a foul drink over here which tramps drink [07:12] ooooo [07:12] Jordan_U: awesome, thx. have to finish this assignment for tomorrow's final and was hung up :-) [07:12] over here? [07:12] Gotta be a Brit! [07:12] :) === yarddog_ is now known as yarddog- [07:12] dr_kludge: But rather than putting "/home/dr_kludge" in manually you should get the value of HOME with getenv. [07:12] nit-wit: I selected Ubuntu classic and yes, it looks like what I had before I did the upgrade. but does that mean all the files and things I installed while in that other environment is gone? How can I check what version this is I am on now? [07:12] dr_kludge: You're welcome. [07:13] Solnse, no everything should be there does it look normal [07:13] hello again [07:13] dr_kludge: use slashes instead of switches. Jordan_U's command highlights this [07:13] Solnse, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ6Pd30q9sw&feature=related [07:13] nit-wit: it looks normal except there is no power icon for the menu to shut down, reboot, etc. [07:13] i think i broke my ubuntu [07:13] ActionParsnip, can yeah send me ah pint.;) [07:13] squonk: indeed :-) [07:14] Solnse, that description is convoluted, power buton to shut down the computer you man [07:14] nit-wit: sounds more manly than that ounce system the Americans use [07:14] how do you make ubuntu look like new again please [07:15] looking for help on ubuntu [07:15] I want to examine my grub config file where could I find it (ubuntu 10.10)? [07:15] how do i mount a drive [07:15] ActionParsnip, lol [07:15] nit-wit: yes... usually in the corner is an icon where I go to select shut down. It's missing.... next to the date and mail icons [07:15] d [07:15] Solnse: use: sudo shutdown -h now and it will turn off gracefully [07:15] FINALLY got my nvidia gpu working AND disabled my intel gpu [07:15] tensorpudding: you'll never guess - everything works perfectly! right off the bat.. i didn't even need to unplug and replug or change the settings like i've always had to! [07:16] if anybody needs to know how to deal with dual graphics cards, IM your guy [07:16] adam61: that's good news [07:16] man mysql: "For more information, please refer to the MySQL Reference Manual, which may already be installed locally." How can I check if the »MySQL Reference Manual« is installed locally? [07:16] sudo is what .. or means what .. is it the application launcher [07:16] terminal [07:16] tensorpudding: maybe not everything, but probably most of the stuff i need; we'll see [07:16] maninder, youre asking what sudo is? [07:16] tensorpudding: thank you for all your help! [07:17] sudo is "super user do" aka run as root [07:17] amin`: it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg you do NOT manually edit it to modify the boot [07:17] i hav heard that about "sudo" ..what is it used for ? [07:17] adam61: np [07:17] its the ubuntu equivalent of "run as administrator" On windows [07:18] anyone know please how to get rid of that big bar on the left of my screen please [07:18] nit-wit: the about ubuntu says I am on Ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhal... did I upgrade too far or something? [07:18] maninder, it is a command to go super user=admin in windows [07:18] tks [07:18] that helps [07:18] stands for "super user do" [07:18] maninder: Please read 'man sudo'. [07:18] !classic | HotPeachesAndCre [07:18] HotPeachesAndCre: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [07:18] the CLI is it ? [07:18] thought I was on 10.10 [07:18] it allows you to run things as root without opening a full root shell [07:18] Solnse, I don't know I wasn't there, lol.;) natty is a full release though. [07:18] tksok [07:19] Can i the install several local packages with gdebi [07:19] ok gs [07:19] nit-wit: ok thanks for your time. back to trying to install my printer driver from the webpage I found :) [07:19] This is the first time I've had the courage to actually dive in... [07:19] This new build I think will allow many people to explore [07:19] :) [07:19] Solnse, no prob you wil be find with the classic in natty I suspect.;) [07:20] maninder: users in the admin group can use sudo. Your user is only a user. When you need admin power or access to files which aren't yours you can prepend the command with sudo (or gksudo for graphical apps (kdesu in KDE)) [07:20] hb: " gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages." [07:20] squonk, did you check out that youtube link [07:20] ActionParsnip: the build I have installed is the gnome build. [07:20] I can use gnome xchat or just xchat [07:21] ok...Is there a similar program do that...? I mean GUI gtk installer [07:21] gnomexchat looks a bit sparse [07:21] but plain xchat is cool with the new build, correct? [07:21] can anyone help me on this? Can I shrink my D drive to install ubuntu without affecting my other drives (C and E) [07:21] * squonk nods to nit-wit [07:21] hb: Consider the program "Synaptic". Its functionality is larger and not identical. [07:21] bullgard4: sudo apt-get -f install resolves deps using the web repos (if it can) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:21] does any one know where the grub config file is located??//////////// [07:22] nit-wit: yus, thankies I love vids! [07:22] amin`: /etc/default/grub [07:22] vishak, are you sure you don't have 4 partitions already? [07:22] squonk: you can use any irc client you desire, even ones which use KDE [07:23] amin`: i told you earlier!! [07:23] squonk, ;) [07:23] http://img546.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1qe.png/ please how do i get rid of this please [07:23] !grub2 | amin` [07:23] amin`: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [07:23] ActionParsnip: good good, I can continue my explorations then. I am having a ball discovering the apps. [07:23] i thought it was at /boot/grub [07:23] Hi all ... can anyone tell me, why my Intel 965 Graphic card in a lenovo t61 does only get a software renderer at opengl? Packages are installed and X is getting up with the intel driver ... [07:24] vishak, can you take a screen shot of a partitioner looking at your HD like gparted and post it in image.bin [07:24] squonk: very healthy, you may find apps you prefer which differ from the default [07:24] nit-wit where should i post it? [07:24] hold on [07:24] helloEARTH: read ubottu's link [07:25] ActionParsnip: well I thought I'd muck around with it from the wubi and then I'll see about actually installing on a dedicated box. [07:25] Like most OS's ya have to play with it. === tangent3_ is now known as tangent3 [07:26] vishak, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [07:26] What about apt2... [07:26] :) [07:27] squonk: best way to learn. Sadly wubi is harder to fix if you super break it. It's performance is also directly impacted by the fragmentation in NTFS === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:27] hb: What do you mean by "apt2"? [07:29] bullgard4 :http://wiki.debian.org/Apt2 [07:30] ActionParsnip: I suspect that is the price one pays for the self installation package, i.e. since it's largely generic you are limited, whereas one who compiles their own kernel and sets their own scripts to run on the system will of course, fair better. Didn't know about the NTFS fragmentation issue, so is FAT32 the better for linux then? [07:30] nit-wit http://imagebin.org/153650 [07:30] how do I find out what IP address my printer is on? :) [07:30] cool hold on vishak [07:31] hb: http://wiki.debian.org/Apt2 says: "Schedule: * No official release or pre-release announced yet." [07:31] In Unity I have lost my menu bar, is there some magic to get em back? lol! [07:31] Hello folks :)) [07:31] Can someone help me to find keyboard without a windows logo under 30$ ? [07:32] classical: This is no commercial channel. [07:32] classical, not exactly Ubuntu support, is it? [07:32] vishak, so what do you wantvto do no partition letters please but sda3... etc [07:33] nit-wit If i delete and format sda6 will it affect sda7 or sda5? [07:33] squonk: your wubi "disk" is stored in your windows partition as a file. As the data fragments (as NTFS always does) it will fragment the wubi file, making the ubuntu OS run slower. A true install doesn't suffer fragmentation due to the nature of Ext4 [07:34] Solnse: set a static ip for it in your router. [07:34] squonk: i don't recommend FAT based filesystems at all unless it absolutely cannot be avoided [07:34] bastidrazor: thanks, I just logged into my router and found it. I'll have to look to see if I can make it static. [07:34] man mysql: "For more information, please refer to the MySQL Reference Manual, which may already be installed locally." How can I check if the »MySQL Reference Manual« is installed locally? [07:35] ActionParsnip: Then my instincts are correct. I can cut my teeth on this build and as my knowledge and confidence increases I can actually do the dedicated system pure ubuntu. [07:35] bullgard4: did you try asking in #mysql [07:35] squonk: sounds like a plan :-) [07:36] Heck, just being here is amazing for me. I was fairly intimidated until I actually started playing with it. [07:36] ;) [07:36] ActionParsnip: Not yet. I think that the answer is distribution-dependent. [07:36] Just a question - Why are not separate packages for the basic system software and other software packages [07:36] There is absolutely nothing to be intimidated about with linux - except, perhaps, channel ops. [07:37] vishak, just so we are on gthe same page you have a maximum amount of partitions now. If you wipe sda6 and rebuild the others it may change the sdaX X=number, no big deal. Just make sure no OS is in sda6.Tha [07:37] Oh IRC is IRC... I served as Chan and Server OPs for other servers, that's a cakewalk compaired to the deciphering I've been doing this past weekend. [07:37] hb: I guess that "the basic system software" is an ambiguous term: Different people will consider different packages as belonging to a basic system. [07:37] But no, it's not as scary now that I'm here. [07:38] ;) [07:38] vishak, sorry if you rebuild the sda6 the others numbers my change, no problem. === chad_ is now known as Solnse [07:40] vishak, actually yo ha e 2 primary partitions sda1 and sda3 and the rest in a extended [07:40] bastidrazor: yup, reserved IP for the printer in the router. thanks for the tip. [07:41] vishak, hope that is not to confusing, I could of explained this much better, sorry.;) [07:41] nit-wit thanks [07:41] brb [07:41] k [07:41] vishak, I think your idea is okay.;) [07:42] nit-wit Since it is an inbetween partition , i just had a doubt.. [07:43] does * output in any particular order? [07:45] vishak, just be sure to build the ext4 and use the custom install to get the Linux in there. [07:45] k [07:49] how to remove "workspace switcher" from launcher in 11.04? [07:49] 1600 lurkers? [07:50] classical: http://www.daskeyboard.com/ [07:50] Thank you.. I have some problems in the distribution packages [07:50] I hope to build a program and run it on any device that has a Linux system without Internet [07:50] jasongriffee, see this page> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html [07:51] dk_, i know this but its too expensive [07:51] classical, ok [07:52] ls [07:53] exit [07:56] hey guys please help me, in my team all have windows os and i am the only one running linux, now the problem is they all can access a local computer with ip (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) with the windows network, but i can not access the workgroup, then have just given me an ip (172.16.0.3), any ideas are appreciated , thank you [07:57] pratz: how are you trying to access it? via Windows Explorer or something? [07:57] Hey im trying to do sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter and im getting failed to locate [07:57] any help please? [07:57] FCGreg: windows explorer ! no i am not linux machine, i am trying to access it with smb server, can i use ssh for this ?? [07:58] pratz: oh sorry, I understand now. no, you can't use SSH unless the target machine is running an SSH server [07:58] yabanize: not that expert but you can try sudo apt-get update first [07:58] pratz: what kind of errors are you getting when you try to connect? [07:58] loha misil [07:58] hi all [07:58] yabanize, do you have the universe repos open? [07:59] Yes i did, I think i need to find a repository for it? [07:59] I'm new in here [07:59] pratz: Places --> Network? [07:59] I dont know what theyt are [07:59] NitWit I dont know what they are [07:59] hi JoeK how are you [07:59] Where is this server located? [07:59] i dont know lol [07:59] Hi Miller-brb [07:59] FCGreg: the smb does list the machine name , there is not error [07:59] hb: "to build a program and run it on any device that has a Linux system without Internet" seems to be an ambiguous target. Realisticly you better narrow down the scope somewhat. [07:59] JoeK: the Freenode network contains many servers for IRC that are interconnected. [08:00] red2kic: did the same dude, but the machine name is not listed there [08:00] yabanize, software sources 1st tab 4th box down says universe [08:00] oh ok FCGreg ty [08:00] nit-wit: where do i find software sources [08:01] yabanize, yor not even going to try? [08:01] pratz: smb://192.168.1.101/ (Try and replace it with IP). [08:01] *** Checking Ident === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [08:01] Ok yes im looking now im on the nz server and universe servers is on [08:02] Only thing thats off is source code [08:02] yabanize, cool thats my only thought where the driver might located, otherwise thats it for my help sorry.;) [08:02] there is no framebuffer in the grub config file [08:02] yabanize, which versino of ubuntu are you using? try apt-cache search bcm [08:02] the latest [08:02] 11.04 [08:02] sysdoc, that didn't answer my question [08:03] any body knows where ubuntu put the framebuffer option in grub [08:03] yabanize, it comes with all that stuff already - youre trying to get your wifi working? [08:03] red2kic: thanks dude got it working [08:03] pratz: Great. <3 [08:03] Yes [08:03] sysdoc, is there a way to remove the multiple workspaces feature? [08:03] Im following this [08:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881903 [08:04] if you do sudo iwlist scan does anything come up [08:04] any1 know where is the official help channel ? [08:05] I did sudo iwlist scan and it said the devices dont support scanning [08:06] do you have restricted drivers enabled [08:07] yabanize: I have a laptop running with a similar wireless card (bcm43xx) [08:07] i have bcm4318 === l3d is now known as DigitalSkin [08:07] yabanize: I didn't need to go through those steps you are looking at. I used the install proprietary drivers feature in Ubuntu and it downloaded/activated the drivers for me automatically [08:08] Yes i did and it only found drivers for a soft modem [08:08] is your wifi switch turned on [08:08] Its a button not a switch so you cant tell if its on or not [08:09] yabanize: what kind of laptop? if it has one, make sure you wifi switch is activated like draggle said. [08:09] yabanize: mine is an HP Pavilion [08:09] It says DV5000 although the hp tests say dv51 something [08:09] t says Pavillion DV5000 although the hp tests say dv51 something [08:09] is this a chatroom or sharing about something else? [08:10] try pushing the button once, or Fn + F2 or whatever just once an then run sudo iwlist scan [08:10] yabanize: it should have a button for the wifi on the middle above the keyboard, yes? do those lights flash at all while you're testing the wireless? [08:11] Miller-brb: are you joking or serious? If you're serious, please see the channel topic for more info. [08:11] the light only flashes when there is activity in windows [08:11] now its not flashing at all [08:11] i'm just new [08:11] yabanize: it should flash in Ubuntu as well. [08:11] yes the middle above the keyboard [08:11] yabanize: try pushing it one time. see if there is any change [08:11] :) [08:11] yabanize: then run the proprietary drivers thing again [08:12] yabanize: question... is this machine booted into Ubuntu or is it running in a virtual machine or something? [08:12] Still found nothing [08:12] is Windows running? [08:12] its booted in ubuntu [08:13] i formatted the drive with ubuntu [08:13] yabanize: that's good. that's how mine is [08:13] So what should i dp [08:13] di [08:13] do [08:13] yabanize: after pushing that button, i suggest rebooting andn trying the proprietary tool again [08:13] i had to do this with mine [08:14] the wifi interface was getting stuck in a turned-off state [08:14] you might also want to check your bios settings to ensure nothing is afoul in there [08:14] jasongriffee: you can change the number of workspace using compizconfig setting manager. its under general settings, desktop size tab [08:14] ive pressed it and opened the driver thing and then pressed it and tried again, so i dont know if its on or off [08:14] once the hardware interface is active, everything should work [08:15] yabanize: that's ok, try a cold restart [08:15] what do you mean cold? just restrat? [08:15] yabanize: it's almost certainly a problem with your hardware interface for the wifi [08:15] yabanize: no... shutdown, wait 30 seconds, start it back up [08:16] kk ill do that now.. its the same computer im on irc with so be back soon [08:16] yabanize: understood. good luck [08:18] #torrentleech @ irc.torrentleech.org:7011 [08:18] can anyone hlp me for supporting ".rmvb" video encoding....? [08:19] best way to blacklist a folder from search results in 11.04? [08:19] sachin: you want to encode or decode a video? [08:19] yes [08:20] if i update the files in /usr/share/phpmyadmin would that update the entire phpmyadmin system from the distro [08:20] sorry... encode.. [08:20] sachin: that was an either/or question. not a yes/no. Do you want to encode, or decode? [08:20] ok [08:20] why? [08:21] hi [08:22] hi Hardy1 [08:23] hi, i changed my root password, now i cannot install updates anymore from the Ubuntu update manager GUI, how can i fix that? [08:24] Alvo: what exactly do you mean you changed your root password? [08:25] what command did you use, etc.? [08:25] would unity be effected if I upgraded xorg? [08:26] FloatingGoat: It might be affected IIRC, but I haven't researched this myself. how did you upgrade it? [08:26] FloatingGoat: ive updated to gnome3 and unity was effected theme wieds [08:26] wise* [08:26] FCGreg: I haven't upgraded, im just wondering if I should. [08:27] FloatingGoat: just use xubuntu [08:27] it's from a PPA that I found that offers a whole unch of packages, and yes I am aware that it may be dangerous and that is why I backed up before I started this. [08:28] that has xorg as the shell [08:28] unless you really need to for some reason, I would stick with the default version trees for those packages. in other words, accept the normal updates given my update-manager, but I would be careful working around into upstream versions [08:28] best way to blacklist a folder from search results in 11.04? [08:28] but everything in the PPA has worked out great, allowing me to run a certain game with open source drivers, better than I could in windows. [08:28] become root; passwd; [08:29] sory was afk [08:29] grub installed on my netbook says "error: no such partition." What should i do? (it has no CD-drive)\ [08:29] now what ever i enter as password in update manager it wont work [08:29] Alvo: what command did you use to become root? Ubuntu systems normally inhibit this in various ways [08:29] and what would happen if I upgraded my open source graphicss driver? [08:29] sudo su [08:29] i installed a sudoer [08:29] jasongriffee: Why would you want to do that? Oh you're sharing your PC with others? Create new users for them. :) [08:30] Alvo: use sudo sh for root [08:30] man mysql: "For more information, please refer to the MySQL Reference Manual, which may already be installed locally." How can I check if the »MySQL Reference Manual« is installed locally? [08:30] ssfdre38: sudo -s more like it [08:30] wow you need to be careful telling folks to do that. they can really bork their systems if they don't know what they are doing [08:31] like our friend Alvo [08:31] bullgard4: info mysql [08:31] :) i only changed poassword [08:31] well im just wondering if i update /usr/share/phpmyadmin to the latested phpmyadmin would that update the entire phpmyadmin distro on my server [08:31] red2kic, i want it so random files don't show up when I'm searching [08:31] thanks guys [08:31] Alvo: Ubuntu does not have a root password. [08:31] Is there any way to play .rmvb files in ubuntu 10.04..? [08:31] !root [08:31] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:31] Alvo: the system isn't meant to do that. are you on a fresh ubuntu install [08:32] lol @ ubottu [08:32] its 3 months old [08:32] aww still a baby then [08:33] im back [08:33] It didnt work [08:33] or i have to use ptitude from now on [08:33] aptitude [08:33] do sudo lspci -vv and for the wireless adapter what driver does it say is in use [08:33] rigved: Why do you mention 'info mysql'? It makes the same ambiguous statement.

Then select the "installed" filter on the bottom left [08:41] does anyone know how the upgrade to 11.4 works, will I lose files settings . etc [08:41] you can view / search your installed packages from there [08:41] can i download ubuntu netbook remix from a desktop computer? [08:42] it doesn't seem to give me an option [08:42] andrea_: no you will not loose them if you do the update on the desktop [08:42] ssfdre38: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/phpmyadmin.html [08:42] ssfdre38: it's your mysql root password [08:42] :) [08:42] ssfdre38 thank you [08:43] th^^: tried that and it doesnt work [08:44] the desktop upgrade killed my wireless software [08:44] HELP: I just installed ubuntu, but after I restarted my computer monitor is displaying out of range..........plz plz plz help [08:45] sangpo, remote desktop connection from another machine? [08:45] sangpo, can you press ctrl-alt-f1 after you gave your pc enough time to startup? It should bring you to a commandline with the screen hopefully working there at least [08:46] sangpo, the idea of Guest8771 is also a good idea if you think you could set that up [08:46] FCGreg is removal or complete removal the best option [08:46] Guest8771 notpossilbe [08:46] yabanize: in that case, complete removal would probably be best [08:46] Hello Ubuntu hangs and can not understand why tell me how to lay out a log and where? [08:46] SmokeyD, yeah, i guess he could fix it from Gnome more easily [08:47] SmokeyD : i'll try pressing ctrl alt f1 [08:47] yabanize: if it pops up a warning with many packages listed for removal... stop and get back to me first [08:47] sangpo, not possible why? if you have SSHD running, you can tunnel X through ssh connection to another machine [08:47] SmokeyD: what to do after dropping to terminal [08:47] Ubuntu 10.04 [08:47] sangpo, that other machine could be Windows with Cygwin or MacOSX with X11 server [08:48] can anyone tell me how to rename partitions [08:48] anyone knows good book or tutorial site for linux programming? [08:48] Guest8771; that machine is not connected to network [08:48] Guest8771 Is there any other procedure [08:48] sangpo, just a minute [08:48] I am on the phone right now [08:49] wisien: what kind of programming are you interested in? what purpose? that will help us answer you [08:49] rigved: I cannot find it in /usr/share/doc. There are only a few files in it starting with mysql. So I am fairly sure that it is not there. [08:49] sangpo, ah then you need to login using commandline and change your X11 server settings [08:49] Guest8771 so how to do that [08:49] FCGreg:beginner - basic,C++,maybe pascal [08:49] sangpo, Welcome to Linux :-) [08:50] Guest8771 but how to change x11 settings after that:) [08:50] wisien: ok, maybe if you tell us for what purpose. you're still speaking too broadly to narrow things down for you [08:50] sangpo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [08:51] bullgard4: even i searched in software center, there is no mysql-doc package available. maybe you should visit the website that is mentioned [08:52] FCGREg:graphics,basic computing,for beginner [08:52] rigved: I am reading this website since days. -- Thank you. [08:53] FCGreg Im stuck at the point where it says install b43-fwcutter, how do i install it? [08:53] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [08:54] or just use ubuntu's software center ;) [08:54] I got: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [08:55] or, you're not using sudo for apt [08:55] :) [08:55] sangpo, you could login in the terminal with your username and password and then use the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". That would reconfigure your display system. After that you can restart with "sudo reboot" and see if it starts up with a working screen [08:55] yabanize: just use ubuntu software center if you have trouble using the command line... its there for a reason :) [08:55] yabanize: for background, you should be using the steps listed in response #2 on that page. When it says install b43-fwcutter, try entering that search into Synaptic and see if it finds it for you [08:57] any programmers here? [08:57] yabanize: i just checked. it is in the default repositories for Ubuntu 11.04 / natty. Use Synaptic or Software Center to perform your tasks [08:57] wisien, not a top notch programmer, but what do you want to know (if it is on topic) [08:58] Ok anyway FCGreg, the network dropdown at the top does not contain wireless [08:58] doesnt even say no firmware it did yesterday === david is now known as Guest85403 [09:00] I broke unity [09:00] :\ [09:01] yabanize: i cannot tell from your statement which step you had issues with. which dropdown, etc? Are you reading comment #2 on that page? [09:01] im gonna do a few more things then see if I can just pop the 11.04 CD in and restore everthing [09:01] FloatingGoat: i was worried about that. i would roll back everything with the CD or similar [09:01] yes i am, where it says Got an error in the connections drop down “wireless disabled – missing firmware” Rebooted and..... there isnt one in my dropdown [09:01] people i installed eclipse in /opt directory, but i want to launch the program without going to the particular directory. I heard i need to set path. when i google it they talk about writing the bin directory inside profile.d file [09:01] that the way ? [09:02] do you need it for all users? If not just put it in .bashrc [09:02] raviepic3: without going to the particular directory? just use a launcher imo, why would you want to start eclipse from console anyway [09:03] danslo, not eclipse, any custom installed applications i want to launch by pressing Alt+f2 and hit the command [09:04] then just use something like Launchy :) [09:04] dont want to go to that directory using terminal or nautilus and then execute the executable [09:04] launchy ? [09:04] http://www.launchy.net/index.php === wet-chan is now known as wet [09:05] pretty sure it's in ubuntu's repository [09:05] repositories* [09:05] yabanize: ok. Try to keep going: reboot the machine, then use Synaptic to install "firmware-b43-installer" [09:05] hi [09:05] danslo, thank you will have a look now [09:05] danslo, ++ [09:05] yabanize: you did remove all of those packages before you began, yes [09:05] ? === mi is now known as Guest10590 [09:05] i have not any output sound [09:06] please help me [09:06] Guest10590, yep [09:06] raviepic3: oh actually, people recommend "Gnome Do" instead of launchy :) may be worth checking out more [09:06] Yes i did [09:07] my device is ok! [09:07] and system and my device is matched! [09:07] but I have not any output [09:08] Can someone help me, running Ubuntu 11.04 in vm player and having an issue installing firefox [09:08] danslo, launchy not in ubuntu repo nor does gnome-do [09:08] so going for source in web [09:08] even if i do su - and type the password i get su: authentication failure [09:08] oy [09:08] irreverant, type sudo -i [09:08] raviepic3: they may have deprecated gnome-do in favor of unity (it works similarly, I guess) [09:09] danslo, these search utilities will eat more hardware resources in the process of indexing ? [09:09] raviepic3: but actually gnome do is in my repositories :) [09:09] prashant_123456 what does the switch -i do? [09:09] danslo, which version of ubuntu you are running ? [09:09] raviepic3: probably, but I dont think it will be at all noticable [09:09] is it telling it to search for a user with uid 0 associated with that first prefix? [09:10] raviepic3: natty [09:10] cause that worked [09:10] danslo, my bad, even i have it in my repo [09:10] thank you [09:10] np [09:11] how to enable sound in ubuntu?? [09:11] kupfer or gnome-do ? danslo [09:11] Never mind found out in the man files. [09:11] raviepic3: I've only ever used gnome do [09:12] Guest10590, you have a icon at the right top like a speaker icon [09:12] danslo, oh [09:12] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [09:12] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [09:12] I could use some help removing Eclipse - Galileo from my Ubuntu 10.04 system. The result of apt-get -s remove eclipse* is here: http://pastebin.com/kXddqQcCa of which the most important line is probably: The following packages will be REMOVED: eclipse-platform eclipse-platform-data eclipse-rcp. Not sure if "remove eclipse*" is what I want... not sure if any of the additional packages are important to the system (the packages [09:12] I get this issue after apt-get install mozilla firefox [09:12] removed with autoremove) [09:12] but yeah, if you want an even more likeweight solution, just: [09:12] PATH=$PATH:/opt/eclipse/ [09:12] export PATH [09:12] irreverant, close other update upgrade or install programs [09:13] in ~/.bashrc [09:13] danslo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] does anyone know what version of python ubuntu 11.4 runs, im just curious if its 2 or 3 [09:13] irreverant, and if you are certain (/!\you're not/!\) that everything else is closed, sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [09:14] danslo, was that directed at me? [09:14] irreverant, it goes root [09:14] irreverant, to be root user [09:14] Dr_Heckle: nope, at raviepic3 [09:14] k [09:14] andrea_: 2.7.1 [09:14] andrea_, i believe it's runn... ^ [09:15] hello [09:15] hi [09:15] danslo thank you [09:15] galerian: i wasn't sure, i recently bought the ubuntu quick handbook but i'm still getting used to it. [09:15] Dr_Heckle thank you [09:15] i migrated from mandrake to windows to red hat and now going back to *nix but ubuntu to be more specific [09:15] y/w (i guess :) [09:16] danslo, yeah, gnome-do searches for existing commands [09:16] im always return to ubuntu or debian [09:16] raviepic3: if I remember correctly there are a bunch of plugins you can enable/disable too :) [09:17] but why doesn't just using sudo - work with my pass? [09:17] i hate sudo :/ [09:17] irreverant, did you tried "sudo apt-get install firefox" ? You need administrative rights, and yes it's your pass [09:17] danslo, yeah, amazing. looking at it as we speak [09:17] hi all im having a problem - - Launching VMware Web Access using /usr/bin/x-www-browser [09:17] Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display: [09:17] hi, how do you install rabbitvcs on natty?

[09:20] hallo [09:20] halo [09:20] superuser :D === root is now known as Guest80375 [09:20] well then, if authentication failed, it's not this password, or you don't have root privileges, witch would be weird if you installed this computer [09:20] you scary me [09:21] hmm interesting, that's true. then i'm at a loss because when i generated this computer it only required me to create the irreverant account and the password for it. [09:21] is there a way to reset the root password? [09:21] i check the permisssions for this account and it belongs to the root group [09:21] hi guys, i nstalled ubuntu 11.04 64bit just now. the installlation went gr8, but afterwards i couldn't boot to the ubuntu. i didn't even saw a GRUB list of OS's - the machine boot to the Win7 automatically. help plz [09:22] irreverant, sudo passwd || su root passwd < don't just c/p that line [09:22] danslo, export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/eclipse worked [09:22] thank you [09:22] raviepic3: np :) [09:23] is there a rabbitvcs or nautilus specific channel?

[09:40] OverTheHillAndFa: because fscheck is not the solution [09:41] bashelina, you 'should' do that at the firewall [09:41] OverTheHillAndFa: the reason you cant delete it is because you are not the owner/have write-access. you can use sudo [09:41] OverTheHillAndFa: but normally there is a reason why you dont have write access as normal user [09:41] this is outputfor the folder: drwx------ 1 [09:41] iceroot: this is outputfor the folder: drwx------ 1 [09:42] OverTheHillAndFa: that is not the complete output [09:42] OverTheHillAndFa: there is a user and a group also [09:42] do it within firewall i overkill imo, there must be quick fix in /etc/hosts [09:42] + my user name *2 [09:42] OverTheHillAndFa: can you paste the correct line? and the output of "whoami" [09:42] bashelina, point it to 0.0.0.0 [09:43] Hey guys, I am using ubuntu 10.04 and need some help.

[09:52] hosangadi_: are you kidding me? i told you 2 times how to get the netbook-interface on 10.04 [09:52] AAAAaaaarrrggh!!! [09:53] problem: I can't draw outside the VGA screen, even if the desktop extension can fraction windows I put in the middle, but it simply doesn't exits from the VGA, leaving the LVDS empty [09:54] (ubuntu 10.04) [09:55] any hint? [09:56] frater_sx, support is kinda dead right now, you might have trouble finding someone who knows at this hour [09:56] pfifo: thanks [09:58] is there a good program for sweeping ubuntu for spyware/malware/... [09:59] MethedMan, you shouldn't need one [10:00] galerien: i hope so. are there certain ports that the firewall leaves alone? such as 80 and 443. [10:01] MethedMan, anyway, I recommend this article on ubuntu security, it has got some links within that you might find interesting too : http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security [10:02] If I've messed with the Gnome Terminal settings, and want to put things back to default, how do I do that? [10:02] MethedMan: please never say that, there is alway a possibility of spyware/malware on any system, it is just highly unlikely to be found on a linux system [10:02] Hello there. Noob here. Please please please please please can someone help me with a Drive Mounting problem (not being lazy - have spend three solid days going through message boards etc trying to fix it)??? Prettiest please???? [10:03] dcg: i did not say that. i only said that i hope that i do not need any anti-spy/malware software [10:03] salterlee: dont ask to ask just ask [10:03] MethedMan, the only way to get something like that is to install it, by choosing the apps and entering your password (or to have 20 hackers who hates your guts). So... [10:04] salterlee, expose your problem and stop wining ;) [10:04] My DVDs and USB storage don't automount - have been fiddling with settings as per msg boards but just can't get them to mount properly. They're all recognised by Ubuntu but just won't mount [10:04] (sorry, was trying to be polite by asking) [10:05] galerien, i'm`a send u a 1 line PM [10:06] Is this a help channel? [10:06] For Ubuntu v 11 [10:06] And "sudo palimpsest" in console gives me this: "libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100)" [10:06] I want a program similar to a program that is in the picture - to identify the sound card output . http://imgup.com/image-E0E9_4DD23A60.jpg [10:06] salterlee, what version of ubuntu are you using and what window manager/desktop enviroment are you using?

When I drag windows it seems.. choppy [10:20] Are the ATI drivers not updated yet? [10:20] And don't know which one to use. I'm really not trying to be thick - it has been a bit of a nightmare Disk Utility doesn't run at all either, and none of my USB storage drives load (it all happened when I upgraded to 11) [10:20] francis: I believe they are up to date, but...... ati drivers in linux are just shit [10:20] I have the same problem fyi :) [10:20] Haha [10:20] I mean yeah they are [10:20] But I didn't have this problem in 10 [10:20] mmm [10:21] hey guys.. i want one serious opinion from you [10:21] i want to use linux server only in my windowz.. so that i can work on linux platform server [10:21] is this possible? [10:22] MagePsycho: use a virtual machine [10:22] virtualbox / vmware [10:22] :/ how does 1 install a .tar.gz ... [10:22] great danslo ... need to check [10:22] Dr_Heckle: you dont, its an archive [10:22] which one is best virtualbox or vmware .. [10:22] Dr_Heckle: unpack through tar -xzf some_file.tar.gz [10:22] in terms of performance [10:23] MagePsycho: I think they have comparable performance, vmware has some enterprise editions etc... personally I prefer virtualbox :) [10:23] nurr [10:23] thx [10:23] So is there no fix to these choppy window animations? [10:23] No way to access the compiz effects? [10:23] so i can run my web application server on virutalbox [10:24] francis: you can install compizconfig-settings-manager [10:24] francis: but about fixing the choppiness: not sure :( [10:24] francis, not sure if it'll help, but "compiz" has a CLI interface [10:24] Not sure how to go about accessing that [10:24] salterlee, doing a fresh install will fix it [10:25] francis: see my suggestion [10:25] Ah ok [10:25] francis: this may help for the both of us: http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/unity-choppy-with-ati-graphics-card-and.html :) [10:25] francis, open a terminal, type "compiz" (no quotes) double tap the tab key to see what all commands are available (that start w/ compiz) for any command that looks promising execute it with the --help flag, or listen to danslo who knows more than I [10:25] good morning [10:25] I run apache as www-data user, and I added my own username into www-data group, and I've chowned a folder to www-data but am unable to write to it myself [10:25] there is a way to add gksu apps to appmenu ? [10:25] I basicly want to have apache run as www-data, but be able to read\write the folders apache owns [10:26] Okay one moement [10:26] red, chmod to 0664 [10:26] brb francis rebooting to see if it works :P [10:26] francis, that's where my help ends :) i'm giving you the keys to trying to figure out stuff in linux, (eg: here's enough knowledge to cause problems :) [10:26] enjoy! [10:27] pfifo: thanks [10:27] pfifo - I really need another way than a fresh install - too much to back up and don't want to mess with partitions - tried it yesterday but stopped as I didn't know which partitions would go [10:27] red, 0775 fr directories [10:27] okay [10:27] drupal said 0664 was enough at least [10:28] galerien, any ideas? [10:28] i have a problem and im running ubuntu 11.04 - no program will play pls streaming audio files [10:28] That fixed it! [10:28] Thank you everyone! [10:28] only in ubuntu - they work fine in debian [10:28] how does one make the firewall tighter. i banned port 80 and somehow web pages were still loading at about 0.2kb/s [10:28] yeah.. that seems to have worked for me :D [10:29] xubuntu 11 is slow on 512 ram ... is it because my pc? [10:29] Is greg still here? [10:30] salterlee, well, no, I never had problems with fstab (but I do fresh install every time as I have several partition that make it simple)... read this cover to cover and check every step, I can't tell you more [10:30] FCGreg are you still here"? [10:31] salterlee, sorry : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [10:31] yabanize: yes i am for a few more minutes. [10:31] facing problems with printing from within a Citrix session.. [10:31] Ok now i just reinstalled ubuntu and got some success, The WifiLight is now on [10:31] Printers shown inside citrix. But does not print. [10:31] but still no wifi [10:32] et_: of course not - you need to set up the printer drivers inside of citrix [10:32] So what do i do now i got the light on [10:32] Can someone help me with an issue I am having with running ubuntu by dual booting with windows 7? When I am asked to start up ubunutu 11.04 after the wubi installer downloads everything, I get this screen: http://i.imgur.com/miXhV.jpg [10:32] frogzoo: Printer drivers seem to be set.. Cause when I use a live CD, install citrix on it and try, it works [10:32] yabanize: that seems like good news. the first thing i would do is the proprietary drivers tool [10:32] galerien, thanks, but I've been through that several times. My main complaint is that the USB drives won't automount - the function just disappeared and Disk Utility has decided never to load again (even if I uninstall and reinstall) :( [10:33] anyone? [10:33] quag512, looks like your graphics drivers are not working properly, try safe graphics mode [10:33] frogzoo: I'm trying to find out what went wrong when I installed this system.. [10:33] et_: kk, weird [10:33] Proprietary drivers found nothing [10:33] Also noticed I cant get the light to turn off now [10:33] frogzoo: Yeah. I could not find any log files for citrix.. Cups webinterface does not show any pending jobs [10:34] yabanize, thanks. i will try that right now [10:34] yabanize: are you trying hte "Additional Drivers" tool? [10:34] frogzoo: Does citrix use some other log file? [10:34] Yes the additional drivers. The only thing it found software modem [10:34] Oh and in the network menu it says wireless disable by hardware switch? [10:35] Yet i press the button and nothhing happens [10:35] yabanize: hmmm, try and press the wifi hardware button again [10:35] ok [10:35] i have a problem and im running ubuntu 11.04 - no program will play pls streaming audio files [10:35] only in ubuntu - they work fine in debian [10:35] salterlee, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038 [10:35] Ubuntu bug 571038 in gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu) "palimpsest crash with libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100)" [Medium,Confirmed] [10:35] dockimble: actually they work fine in banshee (comes with ubuntu by default) [10:35] I guess this will be the locked in position thing you were talking about earlier? [10:36] just use Radio tab, add new station, and supply url to pls [10:36] yabanize: if you haven't already use update-manager to ensure you system is up to date. Then go into Synaptic... type "b43" in the Quick filter box and tell me which packages are listed [10:37] Not able to print from within citrix session.. Printers added through cups show up in the session but I don't get any prints. No jobs pending in the sessions print queue [10:37] and No jobs were submitted to cups [10:37] Any idea what might be wrong? [10:37] FCGreg, none of them are installed, but it sitll shows them [10:38] hello everyone, I have a problem, I tried using Wubi to install Ubuntu on a WinXP laptop and I had the iso torrent file in the same folder but it still hangs when it tries to download the torrent file...don't know what to do at this point :( [10:39] yabanize: ok. install the b43-fwcutter. then reboot and install the firmware-b43-installer. see if that works. now that the light it on, it just might! [10:39] pixxi451, burn the iso to a cd and then install it and when it asks you where choose install alongside windows.. You dont need to use Wubi, The only advantage that will give you is you will be able to uninstall it from windows like any other program [10:40] I don't think I have a RW drive :( [10:40] Can your lappy boot from USB? [10:41] I just got this laptop yabanize, don't know, it's a HP Compaq [10:41] yabanize: I'm on wifi if that helps [10:41] yes HP compaq can boot from USB [10:41] thanx sid [10:41] so what do I need to do, get a usb port? [10:42] It probably will, you will have to look in your bios, Im guessing you have a USB stick that you could use? download this and select the ubuntu version and your iso with a flash drive in [10:43] damn why is it so complicated? When I installed it before on Win7 it wasn't any problem. [10:43] hi [10:43] pixxi451: you can use unetbootin too :) [10:44] unetbootin? let me look that up danslo thanx :) [10:44] Hmm, Download daemon tools lite, mount the iso and run the wubi installer from the iso [10:44] Because the iso contains a wubi installer [10:44] is there any sollution to run ubuntu 11.04 on netbooks? i.e. <4GB drives [10:45] why demon tools!! usq archive mounters.. they are fast [10:46] Doesnt matter what you use realy, just thaught daemon tools would be better as it simulates a real cd [10:46] guys i downloaded the virtual box for windows [10:46] now how to run centos [10:46] or ubuntu from there [10:46] can someone help me mounting my raid controller in ubuntu livecd (10.10 64.bit)? i got this error -> http://imageshack.us/f/64/screenshotij.png/ [10:47] ilon: I don't think so, lubuntu might still swallow that space...

[10:50] do we need to install in boot mode or from windows [10:51] MagePsycho: come on, just open virtualbox, look around and try something :) you dont need me to hold your hand every step of the way [10:51] Anyone know where I can grab a copy of suPHP's source?

[11:03] Dr_Heckle, no [11:03] zava - no [11:03] #ubuntu-beginers [11:04] Sidewinder1, what about suport for emu soundcards ? [11:04] Ooppa #ubuntu-beginners [11:04] !sound [11:04] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [11:05] I'm trying to find the irc.freenode.net web page and or channel - where do I go? === old_ is now known as old81 [11:06] ApacheOmega, their webpage is freenode.net ant their channel is #freenode [11:06] ApacheOmega: http//www.freenode.net/ … #freenode [11:06] thank you fellas [11:06] http://www.freenode.net/ [11:08] after I get on freenode where on the page do I go to find out how to install a flash player into my Natty 64 bit OS??? [11:08] ApacheOmega: why do you think you find that there? [11:09] ApacheOmega, that information is not likely to be found at the freenode website [11:09] !flash > ApacheOmega [11:09] ApacheOmega, please see my private message [11:09] hello, is in ubuntu any such cross-compile tools as crossdev for gentoo? [11:09] some one on Debian directed me in that direction [11:09] one that makes full foregin toolchain [11:10] ApacheOmega: if so, it only shows off the lameness on #debian [11:10] Wooga, nothing quite as advanced but there are a couple ready made cross compilers available [11:10] ha ha ha [11:10] Hi all, I would like to test drive ubuntu server as a replacement of a windows 2003 server. [11:10] ? [11:11] I installed flash on a 32 bit computer but my 64 is killing me right now [11:11] What kind of items will I be missing out or will I be able to preserve all functions? [11:11] Osa2, it depends what services you run [11:11] ApacheOmega: you have a pm telling you directions [11:12] pfifo, do I not need the '=' because it's -C and not --directory ? /What did I do wrong? === virgae is now known as Refael [11:12] szal: oh you mean the ubotu [11:12] tar -xzf file.tar.gz -C /bin [11:12] pfifo: I now run AD, dhcp server, terminal server, exchange server, VPN, printing server [11:12] Dr_Heckle, you directory seperators are backwards :_) its / not \ [11:13] fffff [11:13] i come from Windows (obv.) THX! [11:13] can anyone tell me how to change the partition the machine boot in to? [11:13] Osa2, there is no AD in linux obivously, but the rest are replaceable [11:14] now where to put this eclipse folder... :/ [11:14] If there is no AD how can you make users identify which file to acces and wich not? [11:14] guniata: what do you mean? [11:14] Osa2, however linux has its own solutions to AD if your replacing all your desktops as well [11:14] hi, just installed natty, now i cant make programs executable. i rightclick the try to change permissions but right before my eyes they go back to what they used to be.. === kain is now known as shisoka_ [11:14] i tired using the Grub in the live CD, but it's not installed, and when i tried to install it - it told me that it don't have enough space to install [11:15] damian_-_: what programs? [11:15] Osa2, in linux we would use ftp for filesharing [11:15] How the grub works in live CDs ? [11:15] szal: when i run sudo fdisk -l, i see the partition that boot first [11:15] pfifo: I understand but my situation would be to change the server not the workstations. Because otherwise they loose word/excel and a custom written accounting program for window$ [11:16] guniata: if you didn't assign enough disk space, that's your problem, tbh.. redo the system w/ more space ^^ [11:16] szal: and in my case, it's not the linux partition. i want to change it to the linux partition [11:16] szal: executables for example a game urban terror. but it happens with all files, not just the executable bit either... setting any permission will do it.. [11:16] Osa2, we have samba support but not the full scale AD so you could still have remote file access [11:17] i just realised its only on my second ntfs partition... its mounted read write via hal. i can create folders and copy files so i know thats not the problem [11:17] and dns can this be done as well? [11:17] Osa2: sorry, I take the discussion on the flow. You wanted to manage windows users permissions on Linux ? I think you can do it with openldap and samba [11:17] damian_-_: NTFS (and FAT32, for that matter) don't support Unix permissions [11:17] szal: no, when i installed i gave the ubuntu partition 50GB or so... but i can't boot to it because the machine boot to the Win7 straight away [11:17] damian_-_, Try opening your file manager with gksudo filemanager. Example: gksudo nautilus. [11:17] Osa2, I highly recommend using linux for dhcp dns and mail [11:18] on my installation usb there is no space left [11:18] Sidewinder1: won't help, see above [11:18] Sorry, I type slowly and must look at keyboard. :-( [11:18] jjp_ yes I want to change a win 2003 server to linux and I want to inform what I could be missing out of functions on doing so [11:18] i tried sudo. not to worry i always played this game off my root drive so never had that problem. i will copy it back. :) [11:19] thanks [11:19] pfifo and can windows clients access the linux mailserver? [11:19] szal: i just need to change the boot, so the first partition in the boot order is the ubuntu partition and not the win7 [11:19] any way to convert the ntfs to ext* or reiser or something. or do i need to copy files off then format [11:19] hi, does anyone know how to solve a lack of sound in flash? i'm using ubuntu 11.04, chromium and alsa [11:19] can you tell me how to do that? [11:19] Osa2: certainly, but they may have issues with Outlook requiring Microsoft Exchanges added functionalities [11:20] Osa2, if your using pop3 and smtp (and/or several other protocols) [11:20] szal: can you tell me how to do that? [11:20] at this moment they connect using exchange mailbox. Also they are able to access exchange over the web using outlook web access can this be done as well? [11:21] Osa2: current state of the art protocols for mail are STMP, IMAP, and POP3 to a less extend. Linux will deal perfectly with these standards, no doubt about that [11:21] Osa2, there are several webmail apps available, but you obivously need a webserver running too [11:22] Osa2: there's an openexchange project, but I have no in-depth knowledge of it [11:22] jjp_: okay thank you for this info I will look forward on this ones. [11:22] can anyone tell me how to change partition boot order? i can't access my ubuntu partition because the machine boot to the windows partition first for some reason [11:22] I need to install an older ( < 2.6.32) kernel under natty, is there a ppa availble somewhere? [11:23] What is with all the versions? I mean ubuntu xubuntu debian etc... Are they all that diffrent or are this minor release diffrences? [11:23] I'm trying to use this command to install Flash (sudo add-apt-repository ppa: sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer) and this is the message I get (Error: need a repository as argument) how can I fix this?? [11:23] guniata: are you sure your booting windows with grub [11:23] or has the windows bootloader taken over [11:24] :/ stupid wifi [11:24] Osa2, its basicly preinstalled package differences with the *ubuntu. debian, fedora and suse have some major differences though [11:24] damian_-_: that's the thing - i don't get the grub, because it boots to win7 [11:24] O.o tar -xzf file.tar.gz -C /opt >> for every item in the package: "Cannot open: no such file or directory" o.O What am I doing wrong? [11:24] guniata: ok, im assuming windows was installed second [11:24] damian_-_: the grub is on another partiotion [11:24] no, it was installed frist [11:25] So every "make" is a diffrent type of OS? [11:25] damian_-_: no, it was 2nd [11:25] guniata, did you install grub to some partition other than the Master Boot Record (/dev/sda) [11:25] Osa2: most distributions agree on common representations, like a basic file hierarchies, etc. Then tools may differ to deal with packages and the 'finish' may differ (window-manager...) [11:25] damian_-_: and that is the wiered part [11:25] guniata, it should be in /dev/sda i.e. the root of the drive [11:25] has anyone here ever had flashplayer running with no sound? any suggestions on how to fix it? [11:26] Dr_Heckle: i don't know, i followed the standart installation of 11.04 [11:26] can anybody tell me what a repository argument is??? [11:26] Keyboard numpad is not working.. Any idea ? [11:26] Osa2: remember that windows does not provide the package management anyway [11:26] guniata, didn't make any special changes? [11:26] Osa2, there is alot more options available on linux, and the different distros will explot this [11:26] jjp_: but all software can run on each platform? Or are there diffrences as well? [11:27] pfifo, do you know why I get that strange error? [11:27] guniata, then grub is not on a partition as it defaults to /dev/sda [11:27] Osa2: what kind of differences do you have in mind? [11:27] Dr_Heckle: no. i wanted to, to specify that the mount point will be / and stuff like that, but since it was suppose to do it by itself, i just gave the ubuntu partition about 50 GB and continued [11:27] Dr_Heckle, your giving it the wrong filename [11:28] pfifo: and how about backups can these be done easily? Block level or dedup? === ptte_ is now known as ptte [11:28] pfifo, are you talking about the -C ?? if your not, no I didn't, i used tab completion :) [11:28] Osa2, there is a wide selection of clone/backup tools [11:28] robin0800: but why? i followed the instruction of the 11.04 installation. didn't do any changes [11:28] MonkeyDust: I don't know are there distro's who can run programs that other distro's cant? [11:29] Osa2: any backup you want; I personaly used both low level tools dd (block oriented) and dump (file system oriented) [11:29] Dr_Heckle, are you running that as root? [11:29] guniata, did you choose to partition manually? [11:29] robin0800: should i install again? [11:29] pfifo, NURRR [11:29] thx :) [11:29] what would be a starting point distro for changing 2003 server you could recommend? [11:29] Dr_Heckle: no. the installer offered me to install alongside Win7, and then i just chose the size of the partition [11:29] success [11:29] guniata, hmm [11:30] Osa2: http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20090105114152803/Backup.html [11:30] guniata, can you sucessfully boot into recovery mode w/ your live cd/usb? [11:30] Osa2, ubuntu has great support for new admins [11:30] hi all [11:30] Dr_Heckle: should i reinstall?? [11:30] hello again [11:30] if so, do so, open a console and install manually, grub-install [11:30] use --help for options/syntax [11:30] is there a way to disable sticky/magnetic screen borders on ubuntu 10.04? [11:30] Osa2, 10.04 Server edition. [11:30] guniata, is windows on a partition before i.e. c the ubuntu one or after? [11:31] Osa2: if you're not familiar with command line tools, you should avoid debian or gentoo. Try out either ubuntu, red-hat, fedora [11:31] use fdisk -l (!!! -L !!!!) to list drives/options on where to do it [11:31] it will probably be /dev/sda [11:31] * Dr_Heckle afkz [11:31] robin0800: before [11:31] jjp_, debian is so nothing like gentoo. [11:31] Osa2, actuall avoid gentoo for a production server at all cost [11:32] Thank you all for the info. I will thake this with me and try out some features [11:32] Dr_Heckle: what is the recovery? i can boot to the live session with no problems [11:32] elky: both are not oriented for admins moving from windows [11:32] and see how far the rabbit hole brings me :-) [11:32] Osa2: on this point I know: Free as in 'Freedom' [11:33] guniata, do what Dr_Heckle suggests for you may need a live cd as you can't do this from windows [11:33] The best thing a human chan have a friend and freedom :-) === Toph is now known as Guest94634 [11:35] useless [11:35] guniata, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [11:42] Hi [11:42] 'Lo [11:44] Good morning, can somebody please help me ?

[11:58] probably i've moved it [11:58] syd_: sometimes you can fix issues like that by playing around with what's plugged in where [11:59] syd_: for instance my USB mouse is very particular and won't accept most of my USB ports for some reason [11:59] it is possible to reset old usb addresses? [12:00] syd_: i don't have enough experience with it to say, anyone care to pick up the ball on that one because i dunno [12:00] thanks anyway ^^ [12:00] syd_, your usb devices are probbally not getting enough power [12:01] syd_, I'm not real familiar with that either...That being said, I try to replug it into where it was and reboot.

[14:09] unity requires 128mb of video ram and opengl [14:10] my guess is you should double check drivers [14:10] viliny, The above is not Themes; but between the !themes that Think510 linked to, in addition to Compiz and Conky, you should be able to have the Desktop of your dreams!

[14:56] Master69: in linux, mount the windows partition and copy it from there [14:56] amin: you got your kernel headers installed? You'll probably have better success troubleshooting in a gentoo channel [14:56] amin`: it means what ever you're doing is not supported in this channel [14:57] Had an odd error installing 11.04... During installation I dropped to a shell, created a RAID1 with mdadm, and went on successfully until the GRUB step. I did note thatn when I created the raid, mdadm warned about v1.2 possibly not being compatable with various boot loaders... does grub not support v1.2 superblocks? [14:57] pythonirc1011: Install the python2.7 package. Its available in 10.10 and 11.04 only. [14:57] Google hasn't answered this for me yet, so I'm just looking for confirmation before I spend time redoing things. [14:57] pythonirc1011: yes, ubuntu 10.04 has 2.6 installed by default [14:57] Ok guys. I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 and today I've update a few packages, Adobe Flash Installer was included, and after that update (successfull), I can't watch flash content anymore. Help, please?

The catch is, CIFS sits within .gvfs, which is in the home directory. How can I rsync the data without creating a continuous loop of syncing /home/user to /home/user/.gvfs/nas/user? [15:05] hi [15:05] robson123 [15:05] roasted: man rsync (--exclude) might help [15:05] Hey guys. How exactly does a person mount the windows partition? to transfer it to ubuntu [15:06] ect [15:06] llutz, well, I'm also trying to find a gui for rsync that handles two way rsyncing. That way the data on the desktop and server are always the same. Do you have any suggestions? [15:06] i had uninstalled gnome and now i am working on xfce i want just to make gnome back as it is in th 10.10 [15:06] roasted: -x too [15:06] how to do that?? [15:06] Master69: use sudo fdisk -l to see what partition Windows is on, then mount that partition to a mount point [15:06] !classic | megabraker [15:06] megabraker: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [15:07] it doesnt appear [15:07] Master69: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:07] even thes login screen deosnt appear it logs to xfce [15:07] !info lsyncd [15:07] lsyncd (source: lsyncd): daemon to synchronize local directories using rsync.

Version 1.34-1 (natty), package size 24 kB, installed size 112 kB [15:07] roasted: ^^ [15:08] ubottu szal even thes login screen deosnt appear it logs to xfce [15:08] megabraker: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:08] llutz, yeah, but I'm looking for a gui to handle it. I'm a terminal junkie but I really would rather have a gui for my parents instead of explaining over the phone how to type in long terminal commands. [15:08] ubottu install older version of gnome [15:08] megabraker: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:08] roasted: cronjobs or background services are much better than any GUI (imo) [15:08] ubottu gnome [15:08] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [15:09] thank you good bot [15:09] llutz, even still, I'd like a gui :( [15:09] roasted: cannot help you then [15:10] roasted: have you checked grsync? [15:10] roasted: "unison" [15:11] roasted: the power of ssh. [15:11] th0r, yes I have, however I couldn't find a scheduler option in grsync. do you know if it exists? [15:11] llutz, I looked at unison. I forget why Istopped using it but I'll look again [15:12] roasted, rsync is pretty great. just use the -n option to test before going ahead [15:12] ãäå? [15:12] roasted: no...for your folks, why not just type up a cron.txt file, then all they would have to do in a term (one time) is 'crontab cron.txt' [15:13] hello. can someone please help me fix the input sound probs? I tried almost everything. My sound works, it's just that input isn't working [15:13] roasted: or better yet, install nx for them [15:13] I'm on ubuntu 10.04 [15:13] th0r: why not skipping manual call and use a real cronjob? ;) but roasted doesn't want that easy thing, unfortunately [15:13] Milossh, What type of input? [15:13] llutz, you seem to be misunderstanding. [15:14] Sidewinder1, mic [15:14] llutz, I'm a terminal junkie. I personally use rsync and cron on my personal computer. [15:14] rear [15:14] roasted: stll parents backup to NAS thingy? [15:14] llutz, but if I can find a gui for my parents to set up, I will. [15:14] Thank you MonkeyDusk [15:14] llutz, that's the game plan. [15:14] roasted: how about writing a script? [15:14] Ahh, sorry, I have no experience with that. :-( [15:14] Is it okay to do this: alias sudo=sudo -i ? [15:14] szal, I could, but I want to try the gui route first to see what's out there. [15:14] roasted: i understood that a few days ago, but i still think that a cronjob without any action of your parent would be the better solution [15:14] The other angle is, if there's a viable gui that works, if we ever port to linux here at owrk we might be able to use that on our systems. [15:15] llutz, even still, I want to find a gui if at all possible first. if I have to use terminal, it's an easy thing to do. it'll just have to wait till I can get down there. [15:16] hey folks I could use some help. Trying to switch to mesa/gallium3d drivers for my hd6970 while I was using fglrx. Now I've followed the instruction on the ubuntu page (purge fglrx* etc), but I can no longer startx afterwards. It also mentions it cannot load module fglrx as it does not exist. Any clue? [15:16] I guess sound probs are not that popular around here...

[15:21] no I mean actual echo :\ [15:21] roasted: oh ok, i never used it myself, it just came up when looking for "sync stuff" [15:21] echo off [15:21] I assume it has something to do with jackd since I installed it to muck with guitarix.. took it off and still getting the echo [15:21] llutz: Thanks a mill for that [15:21] BarryB: works as you need?

[16:25] Loua1: under applications > accessories > screenshot [16:25] bobweaver: I have a script that does that [16:25] Question: I am trying to run apt-get upgrade on an Ubuntu 10.10 in anticipation of upgrading to Ubuntu 11. However, apt-get upgrade fails complaining about Apache... see: http://pastebin.com/Wn6gjZ2j [16:26] how does one remove a ppa added repository [16:26] Grub2 menu editing is possible right ? Is there any graphical app to that ? Ubuntu 10.10 [16:26] Carl892: sudo apt-get -f install [16:26] Carl892: does that sort it? [16:26] think, just a sec, might be there soon [16:26] Carl892: also, you should be doing "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" not "sudo apt-get upgrade" [16:27] nope, looks the same [16:27] popey: apt-get dist-upgrade won't work also [16:27] Carl892: sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:27] whats the channel again for general chat on ubuntu [16:27] hello everyone! I cannot locate 10.04 desktop image for amd64, can someone help? [16:27] i keep forgetting [16:27] DeadmanIncJS: #ubuntu-offtopic [16:28] thanks [16:28] hi... [16:28] second question: can I use 11.04 to create a usb installation disk for 10.04? [16:28] popey, dpkg --configure -a gives the same problem, see: http://pastebin.com/GAN7W4a9 [16:28] MrKeuner: yes, using usb startup disk creator [16:29] thinkits there now, Loua1 [16:29] i added pam_access.so to my common-auth pam file, but it only kicks in when a local user tries to log in, not when an ldap user tries to login [16:29] any hints? [16:29] popey, I did actually and now at the boot it complains about some unacceptable image [16:29] Carl892: you're probably hitting Bug #562370 [16:29] Launchpad bug 562370 in apache2 (Ubuntu Lucid) "Upgrade from 2.2.14-5ubuntu6 to 2.2.14-5ubuntu7 results in syntax error, missing module" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/562370 [16:29] Loua1: got the image? now visist http://imagebin.org and upload it there [16:30] MrKeuner: did you use the 64 bit image on a 32-bit machine? [16:30] hmmm, popey: The thing is, apache works. Just not apt-get [16:30] think imagae uplouaded [16:30] popey, that is possible, not sure though [16:30] Loua1: post the link here so i can see [16:30] hello, I'm in xubuntu right now from a live cd. I want to install but when i get to the part in the dialog that tells me to allocate drive space, I see a full partition (windows) that i can't resize in order to make a dual boot. my only optins are new partition tale change and delet. how do i make anew partition to dual boot? [16:31] http://imagebin.org/153702 [16:31] laserbeak, did you choose the "install alongside windows" option? [16:31] Loua1: there it is: 34g filesystem [16:31] good night everyone [16:32] aureianimus: where is that option? [16:32] popey, would 64 creation on 32 cause problem? [16:32] MrKeuner: no, but booting it will [16:32] popey, transferring wrong system files? [16:32] think, ohh is that my other drive? [16:32] ok I got that figured out [16:33] Loua1: yes [16:33] aureianimus: i don't see that option anywhere at all in the installation dialoge [16:33] think and my main is ha.lo2 ? === tek is now known as Guest78349 [16:34] hi [16:34] popey, all right, thanks I'll try creating 64 bit usb disk creation on 64bit [16:34] Loua1: no, that is just your home directory on your xubuntu install [16:34] hi [16:34] think, of course [16:34] thanks for your help [16:35] i be back later for more [16:35] Loua1: no worries [16:35] much appreciated [16:36] why when attempting to copy a directory would only the directories and subdirectories get copied but none of the files within? === tek__ is now known as Justice_form [16:36] ciao [16:36] !list [16:36] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[16:39] grendal_prime, have you check iptables site? [16:40] I need a development environment in ubuntu. in fedora I would do "yum groupinstall Development\ Libraries Development\ Tools" and that would install everything I needed instead of selecting the 200 packages individually. What's the ubuntu equivalent? [16:40] Is there a reason why luckybackup doesn't copy files? It'll copy my directories but NOTHING inside.

[16:45] allu2, press ctrl + Alt + F1..F6 to switch terminal [16:45] Justice_form: that is more of a build-bare-essential, is there something that say installs all the -dev packages for the basics (zlib, bdb, ...)?

[16:45] like text based wm [16:46] could someone say my name so I can test something [16:46] brett__: you're welcome.

[16:47] rriggin, luckybackup is a pain in the rear from what I'm seeing. [16:47] rriggin, grsync works great but limited on features [16:47] rriggin, back in time looks more like a snapshot utility than a raw data backup utility [16:48] hey i hve got an error grub rescue can ny1 help me [16:48] laserbeak, ask your question, not if you can ask your question ;) [16:48] hi i was wondering if someone could help me setup my environment variables [16:48] wwalker, to install manual . ubuntu have not full-develop packages [16:48] I can't effectiviely make a backup if only directories get copied but none of their file conetnts [16:48] is this done in /etc/environment?

[16:49] galerien: yes [16:49] oCean: for some reason that command you gave me doesn't pick up on this process '21678 ? 00:00:00 notify-osd [16:49] laserbeak, did you try to unmount it before resizing [16:49] i added -A to your command btw [16:50] laserbeak, because if it's mounted, you wont be able to do anything === TheGuy is now known as TheGuy2 [16:50] galerien: i'm a linux noob, didn't know that the installer wouldn't do that for me [16:50] laserbeak, to be sure : "sudo umount -a" [16:50] hey i hve got an error grub rescue can ny1 help me [16:50] and then try to install again [16:51] galerien: what's the -a flag? will that unmount the cdrom too? === Tharlinn_ is now known as Tharlinn === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [16:52] laserbeak, hum... I don't think so since you use it, but I didn't think about this [16:52] galerien: every device was busy when i ran it [16:52] oCean: i just realized your -e did the same thing as -A, but i tried it without the -A too in case that was causing a conflict [16:52] brett__: hmm, the -o cmd makes ps give custom output, the columns in custom order, that is. The | grep ^n is to filter lines starting with 'n'. If have no clue why it would not find... [16:52] oh^ === TheGuy2 is now known as The4thGuy [16:52] why .py icon changed when file not empty?

[16:58] laserbeak, can be, but very unlikely since you are using it right now, I meant that I think there are problems within your windows partition [16:59] laserbeak, try an "alternate" cd [16:59] laserbeak, reboot with windows and run "chkdsk" twice [16:59] I need a new machine for home.

Where do you download ppd files for cups? I have P4015 HP Laserjet and it can't detect when the printer is done printing. It takes exactly 300 seconds between print jobs when printing through cups.

Since I upgraded to Natty , I have to do a manual poff / pon after reboot for ddclient to update my dyndns properly .. does anyone else have the same issue ?

I added the repository with apt-add-repository. Then, when I do apt-get update, I see this line: Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US [17:07] Why is the mozilla-stable ppa being Ignored? [17:07] popey, getting the same error with 64bit on 64bit. unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot. vesamenu.c32 not a COM32R image [17:08] trying to download a brother MFC495CW driver on my Natty 64-bit anybody have ideas because it seems almost impossible to do?? [17:08] I can't see the side panels. Help? [17:08] darkwood, sudo lsb_release -a [17:09] MrKeuner: erk, thats not nice. I'd recommend trying unetbootin instead of usb startup disk creator then [17:09] CeeBang, can you see top panel? [17:09] Nope. [17:09] Nothing. [17:09] popey, all right, thanks [17:09] I can see a text box when I move my mouse over to it. [17:09] But the icons dont appear. [17:09] So I can click on random things ;/ [17:09] Can someone help me out with a question about SSH Private / Public keys. [17:09] CeeBang, unity or compiz crash [17:09] What is that? [17:09] I'm new to Ubuntu. [17:10] how can I change login image ? [17:10] CeeBang, log out and try classic [17:10] How do I do that? [17:10] I need to setup keys for local machines. I can do this without a passphrase and I know that the keys will work and allow the machine to connect to the other without any interaction from myself, great for automated scripts. What does a passphrase do? Does it mean I need to enter a passphrase each time an SSH connection is opened to the remote machine? [17:10] davzie: correct [17:10] wisien, in about me [17:11] i just installed ubuntu on a machine with ati 6850, it presumably uses the opensource driver and everything seems dandy except for an "overscan" issue [17:11] llutz, doesn't that defy the whole point of doing it? [17:11] davzie: why? [17:11] anyone know how to disable overscan on an ati 6850 with the opensource drivers? [17:11] Because I have a backup script that runs, does rsync through ssh to a reomte server [17:11] davzie, create your key for you user...on the machine its going to be connectiong from ssh-keygen i believe. do this as the user your crating it for..not root. [17:11] grendal_prime, it will be root running the process, it will be an automated rsync cron backup [17:11] any software in ubuntu [17:11] press enter for all of the prompts. [17:12] where u could send out fax [17:12] ? [17:12] davzie: for that case, passphrase-less keys are ok [17:12] So what case should they be used for llutz ? [17:12] ok then do this as root [17:12] davzie: forced-commands [17:12] just make sure to do this as the user that is going to be connecting [17:12] how can i change login background ? [17:12] is your server an ubuntu box? === Alternative is now known as Guest19791 [17:13] grendal_prime, both machines are macs [17:13] o [17:13] wisien, in the unsupported ubuntu-tweak [17:13] sorry dude. [17:13] thanks [17:13] dont know how mac deals with root user [17:14] or ssh for that matter [17:14] you should try #macs [17:14] (if there is such a thing) [17:14] or buy something from mac [17:14] Certainly #ubuntu isn't the place to ask Mac OS questions [17:15] I know it isn't [17:15] But the underlying process is generally the same. [17:15] Plus I could use the knowledge for my Ubuntu web server. [17:15] davzie: this is a good example for such a setup using forced-commands per ssh http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html [17:16] if it works like ubuntu (wich it probably doesn't) you would thing send the public key you just created with ssh-copykey user@servernamegoeshere.com [17:16] input password for the last time [17:16] davzie: should be possible with os x too [17:16] In /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mozillateam_firefox-stable_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-amd64_Packages, I see a firefox 4.0.1 listed. But apt-get install insists that my installed firefox 3.6.17+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 is the newest version. [17:17] afternoon Sirs, how can I install grub over a just formated hard disk? after install I'll change the kernel image to gpxe one and finish booting from network. [17:18] hello where is #ubuntu-ru ? [17:19] how can I set a job to run at startp/poweroff? [17:20] ok, have only been working with unity for 5 minutes now (after 5 years of gnome) and so far i would say i love it, just one question -> is there a quick key to show the dropdown you get when you click the application thing at the top left? [17:20] Has anyone run into 'nginx-full depends on nginx-common' during package updates with WebMin? [17:20] roasted - /etc/rc.local [17:21] !webmin | xiven [17:21] xiven: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [17:21] if you put a line of the command you want to run in that before exit 0 then it will always be there [17:21] bakarat: win /super key [17:21] xiven: dont use webmin [17:21] rhin0, not sure I understand. I just nano'd into that and it says by default this script does nothing. what am I to do with it? [17:21] dsathe, awesome, not sure why i hadn't tried that :D [17:21] thanks! [17:21] you put the command you want to run into it before the line 'exit 0' [17:21] :) [17:21] press down the key [17:21] n u will find [17:22] the launcher [17:22] highlight showing combos [17:22] v.useful [17:22] !enter | dsathe [17:22] dsathe: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[17:22] dsathe: stop it [17:22] srry [17:22] I'm not sure what else to use. I have setup a couple of sites manually and most CP have everything packaged together.. [17:22] daaaamn i like it [17:23] :) [17:23] xiven: ssh [17:23] dsathe, just one quick question: is there a way to reassign the key? i have another computer but err...the windows key died on that one several years ago :D [17:23] xiven: ssh + vim instead of webmin [17:23] try the gnome3 ppa [17:23] dsathe, not really a problem at this time but if i update the other machine as well... [17:23] it takes a little effort to setup dconf [17:23] the it is amazin [17:23] hello guys, i want to know if its possible to install ubunto my 2nd hd as 2nd OS . I also would like to know if it was possible to make my OS load about my restart Button which i never use. If thats not possible id like to know if there are any other comfortable solutions , am a very comfortable guy [17:23] ubuntu + gnome3 is unbeatable polish [17:24] dsathe, heh, that's for when i have some time to experiment in a VM, atm i desperately needed a new work environment (new pc) and now i need to get some actual work done :P [17:24] iceroot: Telling someone to work through SSH doesn't help when the objective is to have a decent control panel. [17:24] Hey guys. I have an MD raid 1 which ubuntu 10.10 is complaining about at boot. There's nothing wrong with the raid and I can mount it manually later, I think there is some kind of race condition on startup. Has anyone had this problem before? [17:24] damn , fullest channel ever [17:24] spammed my question [17:24] bakarat -- maybe use openbox? [17:24] roasted: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3348-ubuntu-executing-a-script-at-startup-and-shutdown [17:24] works well will run any PC OS [17:25] bakarat: gnome 3 is way more stable and user friendly [17:25] rhin0, is that like a repackage of virtualbox? [17:25] in ubuntu 10.10 i used to connect via 3g to my cellphone over bluetooth. i updated and now this option disappeared, and i cant find where to setup it again. what should i do? [17:25] its the opensource vmware [17:25] i am using it in production env [17:25] its part of ubuntu distro [17:25] xiven: but there is no good panel [17:25] ie. -- load it using synaptic [17:25] rhin0, i use virtualbox @ home, vmware @ work and from time to time i try out kvm (been a while though) :D [17:25] xiven: so ssh + vim is the correct answer [17:25] rhin0, will give openbox a whirl when i get the chance though :) [17:25] llutz, thanks bro. I thought I remember a "session manager" or something in earlier versions of ubuntu that did this, but that may have been something else. this should do the trick! [17:26] vmware though not opn src is better [17:26] :( [17:26] dsathe, i know, vmware is against my will :P [17:26] floww: Restart buttons tend to be hardware buttons that you can't repurpose. As for installing ubuntu on second hdd, it should be possible? I don't think I understand your question. [17:26] :D same issue hence the " :( " [17:26] bakarat i've used it -- works excellently -- can even configure the amount of RAM and virtual disk footprint size and whether its dynamic (expandable) or not -- works robustly [17:26] 2 things i hav to liv with tht are not open src on ubuntu 1) vmware 2) nvidia drivers [17:27] use openbox -- its open source 'vmware' [17:27] hi.. Seems like omap3 devices has 2.6.38-8 kernel.. where can I get this kernel source? [17:27] I've personally found VHCS, ISPConfig, and XPanel packages to be available and each of them are used by many, I'd simply need to determine which one is right for me. [17:27] dsathe, ay, my new pc however is my first ati-based one in a long time [17:27] immesys, ok thats what i thought 2. I want to install ubuntu on my 2nd harddrive what comfortable way would you recommend me I dont like choosing at the start between 2 OS i want Windows to load without any interruption [17:27] virt box is the best alternative [17:27] Just had a question about which version to install. If my computer maxes out at 4 GB RAM, and I only have an onboard video card, I don't really gain anything from 64 bit OS, right? And might as well go 32? [17:27] bakarat: hmmm [17:27] dsathe, has also been my experience, virtualbox is truly great atm, though i'm not sure where oracle will go with it [17:27] Hi there. I'm trying to compile a simple C program using sockets, but using -lsocket says it can't be found. Do you know if there's a package I need to install to find the library? [17:28] dsathe, i used to be a sun fan, but that has tempered somewhat since the buyout [17:28] vock I think that 64 bit is always *slightly* faster [17:28] vock: go 64 better [17:28] floww: I have that on my pc. Just install ubuntu as normal and then later you can configure grub to have a really short timeout. You have to hammer the arrow key when you DO want to boot ubuntu though [17:28] haha [17:28] rhin0, dsathe thanks [17:28] floww: Have you installed a dual boot before? [17:28] immesys, neva === jeremy is now known as Guest16907 [17:28] Hello ! I updated ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04. I have a sound issue : sound works only using the front jack. Mic doesn't work at all. My soundcard is Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06), Are some known problems with 11.04 and this card please ? [17:29] immesys, but thats excactly how i was imagining it [17:29] bakarat: wht i lov bout gnome-shell is the empathy intergartion . [17:29] anyone know how to configure sound via HDMI using the opensource ATI drivers? [17:29] dsathe, i'm old school pidgin tbh :P [17:29] amazing never need to look out just move mose on reply n get back to ur stuff [17:29] have you got a guide or something immesys [17:29] bert maybe you can find the sound drivers for your sound card if not you can use the windows driver for it using a facility called 'ndiswrapper' [17:29] any idea about how to configure 3g via bluetooth? [17:29] floww: it used to be hard, but with ubuntu now it will give you options to resize your current windows partition and install alongside it. Its pretty painless. Once you are done, you edit a file called /boot/grub/grub.conf [17:29] haha i was empahty i better integrated i lov it now [17:29] all protocalls i use now supported [17:29] dsathe, my needs are rather simple on the social front :P [17:30] sometimes the drivers for linux are available on the site for the card - manufacturer -- google the exact specification of your card to find the site [17:30] dsathe, but can give it a try :) [17:30] is possible face recognition or fingerprint login in ubuntu? [17:30] floww: In that file there is a 'default' operating system that it boots if you don't hit the arrows, and there is also a timeout which you can set to 1 or 2 seconds. [17:30] immesys, resize partition? i wnat to install it on my 2nd harddrive [17:30] wisien: yeah [17:30] try the fingerprint-gui ppa [17:30] dsathe:how? [17:30] instructs on it [17:30] immesys thats grub there are grub settings I think which determine the boot OS choice menu [17:30] easiest method it is [17:31] wisien, ye, i got fingerprint recognition to work on an ibm laptop a few years ago, should be piece of cake by now :D === Guest19791 is now known as Walker123 [17:31] floww: Ok, wasn't sure if that hard drive had anything on it. Bear in mind that if you install ubuntu you will clobber the bootloader on the main drive anyway. That doesn't really matter, but some people don't like that idea [17:31] wisien, can't point you in the right direction though, that laptop has been dead and buried for ages [17:31] hhhhow to set path in terminal [17:31] ? [17:31] floww, If you're 'gonna shrink an NTFS partition do not forget to DEFRAG it at least twice, before hand... [17:31] export [17:31] Sidewinder1: Apparently I misunderstood him, he doesn't need to resize. [17:31] * rhin0 never figured out how ubuntu/linux gets away without having a 'defrag' [17:31] bakarat:do You know the program for it? [17:32] if u have win i still reco use windows to deal with its mess [17:32] seriously its better [17:32] OIC... Sorry [17:32] better than loosing data [17:32] wow, it worked... [17:32] how to set path in termianl [17:32] wisien, wish i did, i can't remember, i just wanted to pitch in that it definatly works and it was easy to set up about 4 years ago, so i imagine it only getting simpler [17:32] ubutnu export [17:32] the path [17:32] how to set path in termianl? [17:32] wisien, sorry i can't be more specific :) [17:32] like boot/grub [17:32] wiesen [17:32] ubuntu what do you mean specifically [17:32] ubuntu, "cd /my/path" ? [17:32] bakarat:ok [17:32] ubuntu: you mean the path variable? say: export PATH="my thing":$PATH [17:32] paths are not the same as DOS/windows [17:32] see the ppa homepage on launchpad [17:32] ah hehehe [17:32] dsathe:yes? [17:33] it is self explainantory [17:33] ya [17:33] anyone on hdmi sound via opensource ati drivers? [17:33] how [17:33] ? [17:33] immesys, As I'm sure you're well aware, defraging is an absolute necessity prior to shrinking NTFS [17:33] immesys, my first drive is a ssd the 2nd one contains files and other stuffs do i have to delete them all or could i just create a partition for ubuntu [17:33] anyone know how to get firefox through a proxy server? I am running Xfce. I'm logged onto a proxy. the farthest I can ever get is google.com [17:33] rhin0: just keep spreading the urban legend "linux-fs won't fragment" and you won't need any defrag-tools [17:33] Sidewinder1: Yeah, but he has a dedicated drive so its chilled. [17:33] rhin0, I will not use ndiswrapper. Sound worked great on older versions [17:34] llutz, are you familiar with /etc/rc.local? I'm a little curious about something. If I set /etc/rc.local to run grsync at system reboot, BUT my CIFS share isn't mounted (which grsync uses) I wonder what it would do? [17:34] immesys, Kewl, that's the way I did it; on the second internal HDD. [17:34] floww: You don't have to delete them, as long as there is some empty space. Its a good idea to defrag it a bit in windows so that the free space is contiguous and then ubuntu will resize it. [17:35] roasted: actually you seem to know stuff that might help me. Does rc.local get run before the main filesystems are mounted? I need to stick some stuff in that gets run before mounts [17:35] I keep getting incorrect password at SSH login when I know the password is right, I had just changed it and it works using 'login' command after SSH to root. [17:35] roasted, mount your share in fstab then [17:35] immesys, I wish I knew that answer. I only learned about /etc/rc.local minutes ago [17:35] roasted: make a short wrapper-script to test for presence of the cifs-share. Else it should give an error and continue booting (hence the "exit 0 " at the end) [17:35] roasted: aah. :-) [17:35] robin0800, CIFS and fstab don't play nice. [17:35] i get this in terminal "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ " [17:35] i hve to add boot/grub how to add this path [17:36] according to everything I read, at least [17:36] ubuntu: Type: cd /boot/grub [17:36] immesys: since it is /etc/rc.local it needs root-fs to be mounted when being run [17:36] ubuntu that is a shell prompt it is a whole vast new world of power -- it is not for beginners [17:36] roasted, they work alright for me [17:36] robin0800, really? can you show me your fstab? [17:37] llutz: I need to kludge in a btrfs scan before it tries to mount my filesystems. Trying to find the appropriate place to stick it. Otherwise it complains about not finding the filesystem. [17:37] hmm, seems like rc.local did... NOTHING [17:37] immesys, install ubuntu on 2nd hd , get on it edit grub to load windows first and load it by arrow key , whats with my chipdrivers network drivers etc [17:37] immesys: /etc/init.d/mountall maybe [17:37] ok this might be silly but what is the command to open a terminal from command line in xfce? [17:37] floww: You shouldn't need to install drivers except for very exotic hardware if thats what you are asking [17:37] Okay, so the firefox ppa offers firefox 4.0.1. Yet when I look in synaptic, and browse by origin, I click on the mozilla ppa source, and only firefox 3.6 is listed. I thought this might've been because of some unsatisfiable dependency in the package. So I checked out the downloaded Package file. Every dependency in the Depends: line is met. Could there be some problem in the Provides or Replaces? Provides are gnome-www-browser, icew [17:38] llutz: ok, will try that. Thanks [17:38] roasted, //robins-nas.mine.nu/network /media/network cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noserverino 0 0 [17:38] in dual monitor, my second monitors desktop dosnt have a window manager, also i cant type into any inputs.. this was ok in 10.10 but im not sure what to do (11.04) [17:38] i want to send out a fax using efax-gtk [17:38] do i need fax printer/modem to send out [17:38] ? [17:38] Is there something funky going on? What if I accidentally manually installed firefox-branding at some time. Would that mean that the firefox package wouldn't be allowed to replace it? How do I check? [17:38] roasted: to start gui-stuff from rc.local, you have to set DISPLAY [17:39] hey, i'm trying to delete pulseaudio (i did it just yesterday before reinstalling ubuntu 11.04, so i know it can be done) and it's not letting me. i can't find anything on google. anyone have any idea what i can do? [17:39] Is there some way to debug what versions of the firefox package are available, and see why each one is accepted/rejected? [17:39] immesys, when im on ubuntu the internet wont work [17:39] hi.. where can I find Ubuntu kernel source for OMAP3 devices? [17:39] floww: Getting it to install ubuntu on second partition and install grub in the right place is all pretty automatic. Once you get there, you need to boot into ubuntu and fiddle with the grub config to set the default operating system and the timeout. Bear in mind that this is now grub 2 so a lot of internet instructions don't apply anymore [17:39] ah you need to add session in front of the command; xfce4-terminal or gnome-terminal. Got it! [17:39] llutz, it's not gui stuff [17:39] llutz, it's running grsync in terminal in the background [17:40] ok ill just go for it, but i didnt get the thing with the format [17:40] immesys, my files are going to be deleted if i format it [17:40] ? [17:40] roasted: make sure to use full pathes in rc.local, theres only a limited environment/pathes/etc [17:40] floww: Ah. Ok. Well I personally have never needed to defrag, but apparently its good practice to defrag the partition [17:41] floww: Did I say format? My bad that is really misleading: defragment [17:41] floww: that was nearly [17:41] floww select your files individually - drag them across to a usb stick to back them up [17:41] rhin0, 2 much for a usb stick about 400 gb [17:42] ok ... then format new dvds -- use that [17:42] floww: Your files won't get deleted. Its just resizing the partition. Things hardly ever go wrong [17:42] I need help with SSH through PuTTY please.. === Toph is now known as Guest99846 [17:42] yes immesys i know whats defragmentation i could actually do it also [17:42] after the installation [17:42] floww you can use gzip to zip the files (crunch them down to a smaller size) -- that may help [17:42] 'incorrect password' error when the password is right. [17:42] is there a way to send um..."positive" feedback (as opposed to bug reports) to ubuntu devs? [17:42] immesys, famous last words [17:43] xiven: correct username/hostname? [17:43] How do I set gmail to check the mail notification applet (Gnome). I would like to receive mail, it changed the color of the envelope. [17:43] bakarat: log into their channel and say "You guys are amazing. ok bye now" [17:43] bakarat, paypal [17:43] immesys, what channel would that be? [17:43] pfifo, heh, they have a donate button? didn't know that :) [17:43] bakarat: i think its ubuntu-devel [17:44] hey all I have an Issue. When I leave my comp on for extended periods. Mostly when i move the mouse or press a few keys the login window comes up, asking for password. Sometimes Though it does not just showing a black screen with the mouse pointer. Any Idea What Can Be Doing This ? [17:45] A_J, the screensaver [17:45] The username is correct, but SSH says it's not. If I login via root first I can do a secondary login to the user, so it doesn't make sense. [17:45] robin0800, what should i do it ? [17:45] A_J: in preferences power settings you can set power settings/screen saver settings [17:46] says how long your monitor will be left on whether it locks, asks for password [17:46] xiven: is the account locked? [17:46] rhin0, i want it to lock, but sometimes on resume the login window doesnt come forcing me to do a manual reboot [17:46] system/preferences/screensaver in that you also have power management -- it determines what your monitor does after a while [17:47] I have full root access, so it shouldn't be. [17:47] A_J, perhaps a screensaver crashes the x server [17:47] A_J: what you are saying is a power saving issue -- screen delay lockout -- disable your screen saver [17:47] at least [17:48] xiven: look in your log files when you try to log in to determine why it's failing - if neccessary increase the logging level in the sshd_config file to get more information from your log files [17:48] xiven: ssh -vvv user@host and look for errors [17:48] except he's using putty [17:49] rhin0, ?

[18:07] thanks!! [18:07] c0mrade316: You probably need to install compizconfig-settings-manager. [18:08] A_J: testing the ops factoid is not a good idea. as for help ask your question to the channel and be patient. :) [18:08] sorry IdleOne never knew it was a help command [18:08] Galaxor after deleing 15 gb of downloaded junk I restarted and was left with nothing but 250mb. the trash is empty and I wouldnt be here if i couldnt find the answer but it seems as if this channel has went down hill or maybe the wrong time [18:08] is there a command to test if swap is working? [18:08] too much physical ram to try filling it up [18:08] CustomHits: pastebin output of "df -h" [18:08] I can't open the document by double-click in nautilus (smb mounted filesystem), but if I copy the file and paste in desktop then I can open. what could be wrong? [18:09] A_J: i guess the "(ONLY use this trigger in emergencies)" was missed? [18:09] CustomHits: You might try doing du / > /tmp/files.txt ; that'll give a list of each directory and how much space it takes up (it'll take awhile to run). Then you can run it through sort. cat /tmp/files.txt | sort -n ; then you can see what directories are taking up the most space. [18:09] Sterist: set swappiness to 100? [18:09] bastidrazor, lol i got that after using the command [18:09] not before [18:09] Sterist: and memtester can eat any amount of memory for you [18:09] I done the du and nothing is oout of the ordinary [18:09] llutz: my bad, ty dude [18:10] umm.. i'm gonna shoot again [18:10] Ubuntu Natty 64bit, having trouble in viewing Menu Bar of Firefox. All items are having Black Color. How to resolve this? [18:10] hey all I have an Issue. When I leave my comp on for extended periods. Mostly when i move the mouse or press a few keys the login window comes up, asking for password. Sometimes Though it does not just showing a black screen with the mouse pointer. Any Idea What Can Be Doing This ? [18:10] if you do like "super + 1", is there a way to force it to open a new nautilus screen instead of showing the existing one? [18:10] CustomHits: du do not see dot files [18:10] simple question: how much disk for an ubuntu server test install? I'll be running *nothing* on it, I just want to try the installer and its default stuff... [18:11] A_J: for the future: you can talk to ubottu in a PM too - just /query ubottu [18:11] StyXman, the server shouldn't need much, i'm running a 512 meg server (debian though, but should be comparable) [18:11] StyXman, and that's actually running it :) [18:11] oh yu guntbert [18:11] ty* [18:11] Any luckybackup users here? I'm having some difficulty with it, as it only transfers directories - not files in the directories... === aaron is now known as student [18:11] bakarat: that's disk or ram? [18:12] StyXman, disk :) [18:12] bakarat: ack, tx [18:12] guntbert, can you have a look at my question ? [18:12] StyXman, ram is set to 256 i believe (vm) [18:12] I did "apt-get remove evolution* empathy*" and I lost gnome-panel, so I did apt-get install gnome, however there i have no clock indicator applet (just the normal widget). How do I install it again? [18:12] StyXman: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu%20Server%20%28CLI%29%20Installation [18:12] guntbert: ack [18:12] Got an interesting problem: A btrfs that reliably causes a crash about two minutes after mounting. I'm still not sure if it's a particular file that's doing it (haven't tried mounting and leaving it be, when I mounted from a live-cd I was trying to copy off it immediately). [18:12] anyone know how to fix Menu Bar color of Firefox.. Using Default Theme of Ubuntu. [18:13] nixNcode, select a solid color theme [18:13] A_J: I did look but have no answer - sorry [18:13] okie ty guntbert [18:14] Howdy all! How do I make Unity launcher icons launch with options (e.g.: Matlab cannot lauch with command "matlab", must have option "matlab -glnx86") [18:14] A_J, but i need dark theme.. they are visible in other themes. but this wasn't the case before. [18:14] A_J, other apps are don't have this problem [18:14] A_J: I guess your screenserver is locking screen down, if this is your question. [18:15] I also managed to uninstall transmissions indicator applet, how can I reinstall all the default indicator applets for natty? [18:15] econdudeawesome: I believe there's a .desktop file somewhere - where depends on how the program in question was installed. Edit it. More info on how you installed matlab would let me help you more. [18:15] Can anyone advise on sending -VW to putty? [18:16] Darael: that may be enough info for me. Do I open up the .desktop file in a text editor? [18:16] econdudeawesome: Yup, that's correct. [18:16] qin, yes. But it happenes sometimes not always [18:16] Darael: how is btrfs performance? getting stable? [18:17] Stava: Try installing indicator-applet-complete. Or possibly indicator-datetime. Get a list of the indicator packages by doing "apt-cache show indicator-". [18:17] Darael: where are .desktop files stored generally? [18:17] xiven: it is -vvv (3v) and only usefull if using openssh-client, not putty [18:17] can somebody help me with getting Gnome3, whenever I try to install it, it says that the dependecies can't be resolved [18:17] A_J: test screenserver (there is button preview or something). [18:17] Ahh, ok. [18:17] ThinkT510: It's been pretty stable, but dpkg performance is abysmally slow (because it uses a lot of fsync()) [18:17] I guess I'm stuck then.

If I remove the symlink and copy the file instead, it works fine. Any thoughts? This does not appear to be a mysql problem as #mysql confirms that symlinks for my.cnf are fine.

[18:52] Snicers-Work2, the upgrade manager will let you select which applications to upgrade [18:53] I am in terminal only [18:53] rhe: is the installation of windows 7 finished? [18:53] yes wine works fine, u can install wine from the ubuntu repo, also install "playonlinux" and use that to install internet explorer [18:53] quick: when i boot the virtual machine i will be able to chose what operating system i wan to run? [18:53] rhenani_: ya u can , but there are some limitations i'll like to tell u for paritioning from win 7 using that [18:53] is there a way during setup to create a LVM? [18:53] its just the easier way to do it [18:53] rhe: yes [18:53] rhe: only if you install win first [18:54] satz: and why it's better than install ubuntu first?? [18:54] also you might want to use a newer version of wine see here , i would recommend installing the b beta [18:54] hey, I'm running 10.04, I am trying out grub-reboot & grub-set-default to try to do a boot into Windows on next boot but it doesn't work. Is it because 10.04 is on Grub2? [18:54] http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [18:54] rhe: coz windows will overwrite mbr with its own bootloader [18:54] hello everyon [18:54] hello- I just installed Natty on a Dell GX270, and am having big graphics problems. Hoping for a little help! [18:54] rhe: if installed as seocnd [18:54] howdy [18:54] Hello, I have a file associations question. I want to open .maff (archived web page) to open with firefox. Ubuntu opens it with zip because ubuntu figures out that it is rally a zipped file, it does not pay attention to the maff extension. I am able to change the default program in the settings to open up this file by default with firefox but this changes the default program to firefox for ALL zip files, not just maff. How do I a [18:54] ssociate just maaf files with firefox [18:55] trying to find some info on optimizing openssh [18:55] rhenani_: you can even use tools like http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html to partition the win 7 disk drives [18:55] rhe: coz windows will overwrite mbr with its own bootloader [18:55] rhe: if installed as seocnd [18:55] Snicers-Work2, maybe dselect can help [18:55] relative path shortcuts? [18:55] are they possible. [18:56] I'm not sure how to best describe the graphics problems -- basically, windows and menus are flashing on and off on the desktop. [18:56] rhenani_: works fine ? [18:56] quick: but sounds like I'm risking, I mean i want first make the two partitions without install any operating system, and i think i can do it with gparted [18:56] raju: I haven't done anything yet [18:56] I've tried two different monitors, of different sizes/resolutions -- they both have the same problem. [18:56] rhenani_: k cool [18:57] could someone please take a quick look at this /var/log/messages http://pastebin.com/tw9PxbfZ and confirm or deny my suspicion that the lockups i've been seeing are due to a hardware issue? i'm led to believe that because the lines above each stack trace that say things like "Pid: 231, comm: jbd2/sda1-8" all seem to indicate different pieces of software. am i on the right track? [18:57] rhe: sounds good to me [18:57] rhe: [18:57] peteforsyth, sounds like compiz is losing the buffers somehow. you could drop down to metacity and 2d. what kind of graphics card do you have [18:57] rhe: go on [18:57] rhenani, win 7 will need more than 15gb for install [18:57] danny__: why? [18:57] 20gb at least [18:57] danny__: what about 20?? [18:57] rhenani_: so wat have you decided ? [18:57] danny: no it wont [18:57] <_alazar> Ok, I get it: cpu0 is not the first core of all 4, it's the average use of the four cores. [18:57] escott: the data sheet saiys ".Integrated Intel Extreme® Graphics 2" [18:58] erm yes it will [18:58] alazar: oh [18:58] quick: i want to first make two partition in my disk without install any operating system, and i think i can do it with gparted but i need help because i don't know how to use it [18:58] Shouldn't there be an sshd log in /var/log? [18:58] escott: I can google metacity , but I don't know anything about it :) [18:58] peteforsyth, what cpu do you have? lspci may tell you more, but it sounds like an older intel graphics card [18:58] quick: after i have the 2 partitions maybe 20 gb each, is when i want to start installing [18:59] this is a 2004 GX270, it's a Pentium 4 [18:59] rhe: 15 gb is more than enough [18:59] how can I get to a command line? It seems it used to be possible to do control-alt-Fkey to get a basic shell, but I'm not able to do that. Am I remembering the wrong key combo..? [18:59] satz: OK [19:00] satz: I did the partition with windows 7 [19:00] satz: 15 gb each [19:00] rhe: good [19:00] satz: If i cancel the installation any way i will have the partitions? [19:00] rhe: move on [19:00] anyone knows how to install the vbox guest additions when running ubuntu live cd with virtualbox (since I have only one slot for images)? [19:00] rhenani_: ya you have [19:00] wanna test unity on vbox [19:00] rhe: you should have them [19:00] i think i'm gonna sell 12 of the 24GB memm in this pc [19:01] ubuntu aint using much [19:01] escott: I'd consider buying an AGP card if you think that's very likely to resolve the problem? [19:01] peteforsyth, these days all the graphics are drawn to memory and the compositor compiz puts them in the graphics cards drawing area, it should be well supported but you can go down to the 2d metacity version [19:01] rhenani_: which vm are u using ? [19:01] peteforsyth, AGP?! that is really old. do you mean PCI-E? [19:01] archman: unity didn't work on my vbox [19:01] quick: OK ready i have the two partition I will install windows 7 first [19:01] satz: aaah crap :/, ok then [19:01] quick: VMwareworkstation 7.1.4 [19:02] satz: i have the two partitions I'm gonna isntal indows 7 first [19:02] satz: but you did install the additions? [19:02] escott: the data sheet says it has AGP-8x [19:02] archman: load the iso file [19:02] archman: though i allocated 2 cores and 900 mb ram [19:02] archman: load the iso file ie.e mount it [19:02] and..it looks like AGP to me... [19:02] rhenani_: go ahead install it aLL the best [19:02] here's the data sheet I pulled up: http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/optix/gx270_spec.pdf [19:02] How to solve update problem? Update-Manager says "Package information updated less than an hour ago". But it's not updating at all. Since last 15 days or so [19:02] archman: no. [19:02] quick: aaah, ok [19:02] satz: well, that's why you didn't have it [19:03] archman: give it a try [19:03] satz: will do [19:03] archman: u are using ubuntu ? [19:03] archman: u are using ubuntu in vm ? [19:03] quick: trying to test it, yes [19:03] escott it's a 2004 computer, I think AGP was pretty common then. [19:03] quick: Ok last question, Let's say I install windows 7, then when I install ubuntu on the other partition everything will work fine? [19:03] archman: how much resources are you allocating [19:03] ? [19:04] and when i boot the virtual machine i will be able to choose what operating system i want boot? [19:04] rhe: yes [19:04] satz: 1GB RAM [19:04] rhenani_: why the heck do you want dual-boot inside a vm? [19:04] archman: ya will do . i m using it on my system . the bootloader of linux will alos load the chain loder of winodws [19:04] anyone know the firefox dir? [19:04] i want to add previous files from firefox in that directory [19:04] archman: good. first 'try ubuntu'. i sure unity will fail to load. [19:04] rhenani_: you'll get an option for 9 secs to choose from [19:04] for instance, restore sessions [19:05] archman: then install and see [19:05] Propel: .mozilla/firefox/.... [19:05] if i use dual monitors and have a seperate desktop on a nother monitor, it is missing stuff like a window manager and more, anyone know how to fix this? it was ok in 10.10 [19:05] escott: can you tell me a way to get to a basic command line, so I can try lspci, etc.? or how to drop to 2x metacity? [19:05] quick: That's all i wanted [19:05] satz: sure, it failed, i've tested already; i mounted the iso with 'mount -o loop' so i'll try it out now [19:05] peteforsyth, terminal [19:05] quick: I'll keep you informated here of all what i'm doing [19:05] satz: hahahah i'm not installing :D just trying for fun [19:05] anybody mind taking a look at these stack traces i'm getting? http://pastebin.com/tw9PxbfZ ...i get the feeling (based on the lines like "Pid: 231, comm: jbd2/sda1-8" all pointing to different PIDs and programs) that it's a hardware issue... [19:05] kbrosnan, i can't find that searching manually through my dir [19:06] peteforsyth, gnome-terminal (but if you are using unity just alt-f2 and then type in terminal) [19:06] archman: i dnt think you can install it on a live cd as it read only . but go to the folder of vm and run the file ./Vboxlinuz additions [19:06] escott: I can't use the desktop, the windows flash on and off too sporadically [19:06] rhenani_: ya sure [19:06] kbrosnan, what folder is it in before mozilla/firefox? [19:06] the GUI is too messed up. [19:06] peteforsyth, given how old the hardware is dropping to unity-2d is the best bet, that may be possible from the login screen [19:06] How can I restore sources? list, Updates to it's default? Update not working since some 15 days. [19:06] Propel: home [19:06] I figured out my ssh problem. I had to add the user to sshd_config as permitted to login. [19:06] peteforsyth, but you can killall compiz; metacity & [19:07] I tried all the options from the login screen before, I think -- but I wil try again. [19:07] Has anybody used deja dup here? I'm curious if it has the capability of backing up just raw data, without compressing it. [19:07] Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. When I insert a cd or a dvd in the blue-ray drive, nothing happens. It's 11.04, 64 bit, the drive works in windows. When I insert the cd and type dmesg, there is nothing new (although the drive is blinking for a while). I have no idea where to look. [19:07] After that I was able login to the user and disable root ssh login. [19:07] kbrosnan, how do i manually search for it? [19:07] bah, vbox can't choose custom paths.... [19:07] ubuntuuser: go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [19:07] can I share /swap b/w two different linux os? [19:08] kbrosnan, i don't see the mozilla folder in my home dir [19:08] So whats the general though on Unity... [19:08] xiven: why did you limit users/groups before in sshd_conf? [19:08] *thought [19:08] ubuntuser: Then click on Settings -> Repositories and recheck the ubuntu software sources [19:08] kbrosnan, do i have to type a command in terminal to view the folder's contents? [19:08] Propel: files that start with . are hidden by default, your file browser should have a method of displaying them [19:08] oh ok [19:08] I don't recall ever doing so. [19:09] xiven: usersallow/deny should have been open for all users by default [19:09] archman: what do you mean by custom path? [19:09] kbrosnan, any idea how to view hidden folders? [19:09] Yo! The unity bar seems kinda stuck. Usually it slides back, but it won't now. How do I get it back? [19:09] propel: nautilus: show hidden files [19:09] escott: it's tough, because when I installed I set it to auto-login..so I'm trying to select from menus that disappear :) [19:10] propel: ls -la [19:10] propel: ctrl + h [19:10] satz: i mean, you can't choose to mount /mnt/loop, in example... you can only choose physical drives and isos.. [19:10] phox, ctrl+h didn't work [19:10] peteforsyth, you can remove /etc/gdm/gdm.custom [19:10] peteforsyth, or something like that [19:10] awells: All 4 are selected (except "Source code") and even other sources are there. [19:10] satz, so i just type "ls -la" into terminal and it should work? [19:11] Hey, my logitec quickcam easy/cool hangs weirdly after while of usage (tested in mplayer, gmail/talk, skype..) driver is gspca and it gets stuck (image not moving) but here is the weird part, it does move if i put anything somewhere like 0.5cm from the camera and move it :S but if i take the object more far it stops moving again [19:11] The only directive I see is 'AllowUsers', which I didn't put there. [19:11] Is the ubuntu alternate installation required if installing to a raid using a controller? [19:11] propel: In Nautilus, the default file browser, it should. Just did for me. I know it has in earlier versions too. [19:11] propel: it should display all files [19:11] Is there anything like an RSS/Atom feed that gives every single update pushed to the Ubuntu repositories? [19:11] satz, how do you turn it back to default? [19:11] archman: why not use the direct iso file [19:11] satz, after typing in, ls -la [19:11] how is ubuntu configuring my network? i mean i look at my /etc/network/interfaces file and the only entry is lo [19:11] Thanatos, i think so but im not sure [19:11] escott: OK, I am at a login screen now. Without flashing windows/menus! but -- I don't see the options I've seen before (for keyboard layout, window manager etc) [19:12] i should see my eth0 in there shouldnt i [19:12] propel: its temporary dont worry [19:12] My system is ubuntu 11.04 64bit build up from minimal.iso [19:12] en1gma: networkmanager by default [19:12] peteforsyth, you have to put your username in first... i have no idea why [19:12] Well, now that I have a working user and root login disabled, I can increase server hardening. [19:12] satz: cause i can't mount the vbox additions iso later to install the additions... [19:12] llutz can i uninstall that? [19:12] OK, I see it now. [19:12] en1gma: sure [19:12] i dont think i like it [19:12] is there a way to trick 2gb of ram in virtualbox? [19:12] satz, so it'll only show all files while you're in terminal? [19:12] so my options are: [19:12] awells: I even tried "sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*" but didn't work. Even if I can reset the repositories it's okay. But how to do that? [19:12] llutz i just need to keep dhcpd right? [19:12] satz: i've already tried mounting it when ubuntu started, but it went wonky [19:12] ubuntu, ubuntu classic, ubuntu classic (no effects), ubuntu (safe mode), and user defined session. [19:12] en1gma: yes [19:13] ok i gonna try that [19:13] thanks [19:13] I believe I tried all of them except "user defined" last night with no luck. [19:13] ubuntuser: when they are removed from the sources list files, they are just unchecked in the synaptic package manager. All you have to do is recheck those sources. [19:13] is that the one I should try? [19:14] (I tried "alt-F2" but there's no response. I am using an Apple keyboard, I sort of suspect that the Fkeys are not properly mapped) [19:14] awells: They are already checked. I can share a screenshot if you want. [19:14] arch: why didn't 'host + d' auto mount work for you? [19:15] ah -- wait!! I got it..I was right, I found the "fn" key. [19:15] quick: WIndows 7 is installing.. [19:15] rhe: great [19:15] peteforsyth, what are you needing to run in the alt-f2 [19:15] you got it yay [19:15] nit-wit: just trying to get a command prompt, because my gui is too messed up to work with [19:16] ubuntuser: sorry, I missed your earlier post where you mentioned that. What happens when you run apt-get update? [19:16] satz: =) [19:16] so escott should I "sudo rm /etc/gdm/gdm.custom" ? [19:16] peteforsyth, I see [19:16] rhe: yup [19:16] rhenani_: good [19:16] after installing ccsm unity not working..no tittle bar no menubar on desktop [19:16] klevison, your back are you in natty now [19:17] nit-wit: yeah.. im on natty.. what i should do now? [19:17] chipgeri, you turned off the wall? [19:17] klevison, go to the private [19:17] yes [19:17] nit-wit yes [19:17] chipgeri, hold on you will get help [19:17] peteforsyth, yes [19:18] hi... sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied... I have chmod to something, restarted, failed, and chmod back to 0440 sudoers... don't understand how to fix it.. any help? [19:18] peteforsyth, double check the filename but its something like that [19:18] anybody mind taking a look at these stack traces i'm getting? http://pastebin.com/tw9PxbfZ ...i get the feeling (based on the lines like "Pid: 231, comm: jbd2/sda1-8" and "Pid: 995, comm: scache" which seem to point to different PIDs and programs) that it's a hardware issue...is that right? [19:19] escott: that file doesn't exist. Directory contains: [19:19] custom.conf, [19:19] some stuff that starts "failsafe" [19:19] and init, postlogin, postsession, presession, and xsession [19:19] so I'm deleting /etc/gdm/custom.conf and rebooting [19:20] awells: "sudo apt-get update" output: http://pastebin.com/Cq3DXE97 [19:21] Has anybody used deja dup here? I'm curious if it has the capability of backing up just raw data, without compressing it. [19:21] How can I determine which files are open on a usb stick? [19:21] hello [19:22] chipgeri: wat did u do ? [19:22] kmo97: hi :) [19:22] hi [19:22] sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied... no help from forums... need a quick fix... :/ [19:22] escott: the problem is still there. I have found a Geforce MX video card on eBay for $10 -- think that will work better? [19:22] quick installed ccsm and enacled cube [19:23] ubuntuser: for some reason you have a maverick repository in there. You are running Natty, right? [19:23] afternoon [19:23] nmpribeiro: "ls -l /etc/sudoers" [19:23] I'm happy to abandon the onboard video if troubleshooting will be a pita [19:23] awells: Yes Natty.

I read that it may be default in 11.10 so I checked it out. Very solid application, but I'm curious if it's possible to utilize it without using compression. Does anybody know if that's possible? [19:44] floww; startup manger isn't woring in natty , yeah.;) [19:44] rcconf, ok i want that Windows 7 loads up automatically and Ubuntu by pushing 1 button while [19:44] boot [19:44] roasted: why exactly do you need to use it without compression? [19:44] so its not possible? i have to do it about terminal [19:45] adam61: might be called additional drivers under system [19:45] it's cool to see that tcl is still going strong :) [19:45] ThinkT510: there's "additional drivers" and it's actually different than i'd previously seen it. before there were just two options, now there's a third: "Experimental 3d support for NVIDIA cards [19:45] floww; grub customizer or edit tthe grub.cfg..........correctly of course [19:45] nit-wit, can u tell me where i can find the terminal lines then [19:45] pstewart: thanks...

[19:45] adam61: thats the one, which option says (recommended)? [19:46] floww: you need to change the file numbering of the files in /etc/grub.d then run: sudo update-grub [19:46] llutz: err... mountall... it was loding scripts, became black, and apeard with mountall errors for my /media/dir/dir that I connect with samba fs. but that was working so it can't be that.... is there a log file I can see? [19:46] quiescens, well, I have a laptop with an ultra small hard drive, so there are times I'd like to work FROM my NAS. That way I can use the raw data from the NAS, which is impossible if it's compressed due ot it being in a bunch of tarball files. [19:46] systemonkey: can you pastebin/msg me the output of: "ifconfig && route && cat /etc/resolv.conf" [19:46] ThinkT510: ah, that's it, just none of the drivers had been activated, unlike prior intallations for some reason. it's the middle one , the usual one i'd select that says recommended. select that one i guess eh? and then reboot? [19:46] quick: Almost [19:47] klevison, checking in with you.;) [19:47] how do i blacklist a modulE?

[19:48] amin`: wats twm theme ? [19:48] quiescens, the format "it" uses? as in deja dup? [19:48] is 'classic ubuntu' 2d unity or vanillaish gnome or what?

How can I call it? [19:49] Hi all :) [19:50] roasted: i don't really know what you're trying to do, but its really for backing up and restoring files and i don't think there is any support for leaving the backups in their native format so that they can be directly accessed [19:50] llutz: is there a log file I can read to figure out a boot error? [19:50] AnakinPt: which version are u using ? [19:50] quiescens, well, if that's what its designed for, that's fine. I was just trying to work FROM the NAS, which I need the raw data for. This is due to my laptop having an ultra small hard drive. [19:50] Hi all, does anybody know a wireless USB dongle that works out of the box on ubuntu? [19:51] quiescens, that way I can keep my massive desktop powered off to save energy, use my laptop as much as possible, and work from my NAS with the raw data. [19:51] latest server version. Downloaded this week [19:51] nmpribeiro: i doubt it, try activating bootlogd but even then i'm not sure if those errors are recorded [19:51] floww, grub default= is the change need do you under stand and run a update grub after editing,.........gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [19:51] I have a HW raid set up on the MB. Ubuntu server sees it correctly and puts it in /dev/mapper/ but I cannot share it in SAMBA. How do I? [19:51] any body knows about TWM?

[19:57] I have a HW raid set up on the MB. Ubuntu server sees it correctly and puts it in /dev/mapper/ but I cannot share it in SAMBA. How do I? [19:57] Phearret: wats that ? === derp is now known as ^ [19:58] nit-wit: actually I will be honest with you.. its mint that im running [19:58] fbdystang, why can't samba share it? whats the error? Might be permissions [19:58] quiescens, yeah. Like I Said I posted this question to the devs. I would think if anything it would be EASIER to support raw data over compression, so maybe it's an option for them to implement? [19:58] have they resolved the issue for wireless on update yet ?? [19:58] Philwong, I believe it's sudo update -grub [19:58] !mint | Philwong [19:58] nit-wit: but mint is based off ubuntu and there is no one in the mint room [19:58] Philwong: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [19:58] quiescens, have you used deja dup before? you seem to be very familiar with it [19:58] roasted: its not just compression [19:58] PhilMather, you have grub2 correct? [19:58] me? [19:59] its the latest nit-wit ' [19:59] quiescens, what else is it? [19:59] nit-wit: version 11 [19:59] nit-wit, i installed how do i set it [19:59] rhenani_: wats ur progress ? [19:59] i dont see which button needs to be pushed nit-wit [19:59] i just updated Ubuntu, the look changed lol.... My main problem is now my dual monitor isn't working.... It worked before updates and driver install. [20:00] Philwong, run this command in your mint terminal and post the output sudo grub-install -v [20:00] I noted that I was able to access teh hardware and config it to up as root but software still wouldn't connect [20:00] roasted: a lot of the data isn't stored as complete files but as differences against older versions of the same file, and then archived using a tar format, compressed using gzip format, and then encrypted using gpg [20:00] !classic > bill_ [20:00] bill_, please see my private message [20:00] SpaceBass, samba client can see it but not access it. Here is the error on the client: Unable to mount location, Failed to mount Windows share [20:00] anyone know the dir where services / processes are started on startup? ubuntu 10.04. I remember there might be a few. [20:00] nit-wit: I will have to get into linux for that [20:00] floww, the word button I'm not sure what you mean [20:00] fbdystang, what do the server logs say? [20:00] nit-wit: can you wait a couple minutes while I boot? [20:01] nit-wit, key [20:01] quick: Ok chose to start with the iso of ubuntu. let's see, it's loading [20:01] I gotta sign in once botted [20:01] keyboard key nit-wit [20:01] quiescens, is that to prevent the backups eating a TON of space? I was worried that 10 backups of 100mb file would = 1gb in use. Are you suggesting it wouldn't necessarily do that? [20:01] SpaceBass, where would one find those? on serverside or clientside? [20:01] quick: But it's booting automatically in windows 7?? [20:01] fbdystang, server side? likely in /var/log/samba [20:01] Philwong, here is alink for reloading grub2 that command confirms the grub type more the likely grub2..........https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [20:01] Sidewinder1, Do you think that will fix my dual monitor problem? [20:01] roasted: likely tar is also used for the purposes of storing metadata, such as owner/group and file permissions because it is designed to support keeping track of all that in the backup even if you back up to a filesystem (or a web location) that doesn't support file permissions [20:02] bill_: couldn't hurt to try... [20:02] roasted: possibly, i don't know for sure how much it would take up [20:02] rhenani_: you are usnig iso ? [20:02] nit-wit: hi [20:02] Sidewinder1, Will try that now. Thank You. [20:02] grub dont overwrite win7 boot :( [20:02] floww, so what exactly are you trying to do I'm confused [20:02] thanks nit-wit [20:02] if i use dual monitors and have a seperate desktop on a nother monitor, it is missing stuff like a window manager and more, anyone know how to fix this? it was ok in 10.10 [20:03] Philwong, no prob [20:03] nit-wit, Windows 7 loads automatically , Ubuntu boots by pushing a key while booting [20:03] quick: yes I installed windows 7 with iso, and know I want to install ubuntu same way but it boot in windows 7 automatycally and the installation of ubuntu didn't appear?? [20:03] quiescens, I'm trying to simulate a drive failure now. I have an Ubuntu machine that backed up 250mb of data to it through 1 backup and 4 incremental backups. Now I'm on a Xubuntu laptop. I want to see how well it plays. [20:03] Does ubuntu have support for the video card ATI 4500 HD?? [20:03] floww, do you have two hard drives is the a key prompt to choose the hard drive [20:04] rhenani_: using virtualbox? [20:04] nit-wit, yes two harddrives [20:04] rhenani_, open the bios and setup the bootsequence to choose the cdrom first [20:04] floww, is one a external and if removed you can't boot ionto windows [20:04] nit-wit, i dont know some guy told me that i just needed to push a key while booting [20:04] nit-wit, no both intern [20:04] BluesKaj: Ok [20:05] nit-wit, ill just try to boot and look if its going [20:05] brb [20:05] go to the virtual machine settings n in the cdro use the iso image [20:06] Question.. i just created an Ubuntu CA server. I am now trying to export the certificate for use with Active Director. Anyone done this before? [20:06] quick: ok [20:06] floww, what some random person told you about a key I have no idea. But I suspect they were talking about the key prompt at power on the computer to get to a boot from menu that looks like the bios menu to change what is read first. this other is outside of the bios [20:06] BluesKaj: Got it man you're helping me a lot [20:06] quiescens, hey, its asking me for an encryption password. I didn't put in an encryption password... [20:07] llutz: error connecting to socket... a blink of an eye of info spit by my screen in a boot lol... I'll se the log [20:07] roasted: you have the cdrom as the 1st bootable device ? [20:07] rhenani_: you have the cdrom as the 1st bootable device ? [20:07] roasted: it wan't for you :) [20:07] fbdystang, did you find the logs? [20:07] llutz: I cannot to anything after a system bootup... stops at plymouth with no way to go to console [20:08] quick: Yes the installation of ubuntu is starting [20:08] quiescens, cancel that. I unchecked encryption when I backed up, and I had checked encryption trying to restore. totally my fault :P [20:08] rhenani_: you got it ? [20:08] quick: Yes it start with iso [20:08] nmpribeiro, old pc or brand new ? [20:08] how can i stop window maximize when dragging title bar to the top of the display? [20:08] rhenani_: great :) [20:08] SpaceBass, yes it appears some kind of NT_STATUS_ACCESS error. So maybe it's permissions somewhere? [20:08] quick: but now my question is [20:08] rhenani_: go on [20:08] nmpribeiro: when Plymouth loads, press ESC to see the boot messages [20:09] rhenani_: go on ask the question [20:09] Quick question guide for going from 32bit server to 64bit srever without reinstall [20:09] fbdystang, sounds like perms or user auth problems [20:09] quick: Ubuntu will be install in the partition where i don't have anything right?? [20:09] Blueskaj: some four years.. but was working fine [20:09] fbdystang, what kind of user authentication are you doing? [20:09] you can specify it manually [20:09] SpaceBass, I am trying to do none. I want it open to the whole network [20:09] http://unvalidatedinput.com/ [20:09] quick: OKz [20:09] nmpribeiro,which graphics card? [20:09] Mtvee: its the snap feature in ccsm. Its to mimic the Wi [20:10] quick: Let's see it's loading [20:10] apparently its not working [20:10] pryorda: without reinstalling? [20:10] ans the qustions first :) [20:10] ActionParsnip: ary, ccsm?

[20:10] wouldnt it be nice [20:10] Blueskaj: Nvidia... was working also fine (I think it's the ubuntu restricted drivers to be more secured) [20:11] ActionParsnip: not much a feature when it makes me want to punch the wall ;) [20:11] I chose the leanguage now what i press? forward or back??

I want tthat my Windows 7 loads automatically and that Ubuntu loads by pushing 1 key there was a guy here who told me about this but he suddenly left [20:12] ActionParsnip: thanks, much appreciated! [20:12] quick: now there two option to market 1) download updated while installing, install this third-party software [20:12] nmpribeiro, did you install the recommnded driver in admin/additional drivers , if not reboot , hold the shift key down and choose the recovery kernel , and then "repair broken packages" in the dialog , then choose the normal boot option [20:13] quick: wich one i choose? === vorian_ is now known as ubunub [20:13] rhenani_: wat are the options ? [20:13] jemand: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-885439.html chek this [20:14] 1) download updated while installing, 2) install this third-party software [20:14] anyone know what to search to get the ubuntu 10.10 theme, menu up top look back?

[20:14] could someone please take a quick look at this /var/log/messages http://pastebin.com/tw9PxbfZ and confirm or deny my suspicion that the lockups i've been seeing are due to a hardware issue? i'm led to believe that because the lines above each stack trace like "Pid: 231, comm: jbd2/sda1-8" vs. "Pid: 995, comm: scache" all seem to indicate different pieces of software. am i on the right track? [20:15] pryorda: you want to go from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling? [20:15] Hey what's the channel for oneiric?

SOme of this software is closed-source. The software is subject to the license terms included with software's documentation [20:16] I'm dual-booting Natty and Win7, can I write lots of data (mostly videos and music) to a shared NTFS directory without causing problems? [20:17] ubunub: you can [20:17] ubunub: sure. It'll be fine. [20:17] quick: Fluendo MP3 plugin includes Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer llss and Thomson [20:17] ubunub: yes, even better if its another partition [20:17] when I was using older versions of ubuntu ntfs write support sometimes caused corruptions, this is no longer a problem? [20:18] quick: OK [20:18] BluesKaj: yes... I did updates... perhaps I was thinking the worng cause. How can I repair through Live CD? tried recovery but it freezes... :| [20:18] choose it if u want to loisten to mp3 [20:18] Has anyone else been having problems with skype?

[20:22] llutz, its often the printscreen button [20:22] can i get unity for windows? [20:22] ActionParsnip: it was my understanding that they had announced the deal and both boards signed off, but that regulators still had to allow it and that the deal was not therefore done. see here: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/VOIP-and-Telephony/Skype-Acquisition-Antitrust-Finale-Windows-Phone-News-Marked-Microsoft-Week-262817/ where it says "Should regulators sign off on the acquisition, Skype will...

[20:24] SpaceBass, It looks like all I have is a link to a block device (or pdc). Do I have to mount it to share it? After I mount it it shows up in /media. Can I just map a /dev/ folder to be shared on samba? [20:24] quick: copying files now [20:24] bin_bash: you don't have essential keys so you're lost. [20:25] It's a 13" laptop.

I want to open .maff (archived web page) to open with firefox. Ubuntu opens it with zip because ubuntu figures out that it is rally a zipped file, it does not pay attention to the maff extension.

How do I a [20:25] ssociate just maaf files with firefox [20:25] bin_bash: that was a (lame) joke, sry [20:25] ok i just installed 11.04 and i gotta say i cant find anything [20:25] remember in madriva when you could copy and paste textures onto the bottom panel?

[21:07] thiagoalessio: you might find differences in how they work on different operating systems on the home pages of each project, if the libxslt is even built from the same source code. usually developers try not to duplicate project names from different operating systems [21:08] Ian_: try this link download the package and compile it and run it [21:08] i installed linux on my hdd ... and i have an existing win7 on my ssd .. now grub doesnt see my win7 .. can somebody help me ?

[21:12] dsathe, i don't have it installed - i need to create a filesystem with rootstock [21:12] nicofs, or rather a command to run that removes the default unity [21:13] dsathe: I'm sorry, youre trying to help but I don't understand. they generally don't do what? I assumed that maybe the modules that were in the backport package from maverick were worked into natty, so the backport package would no longer be necessary. or are you talking about libxslt? === prashant_123456 is now known as prashanttech [21:13] dub54: hosts.allow/hosts.deny/iptables [21:13] Ian_: read the install file in the packae . if dnt understand ask me [21:14] dub54: does netstat -ln show port 25 as being listened on? [21:14] dub54: er 21 sorry === Wolf is now known as Guest48649 [21:14] quick: Ok, 2 seconds === prashanttech is now known as prashant_123456 [21:14] Ian_: ok [21:14] sammy: you wont find dist specific packaging info on the dev page of the particular package, that is generally not the dev's problem , maintainers do that [21:14] sometimes they do both , then its a different issue [21:14] celthunder: nope [21:15] dub54: then it's not listening on port 21...so of course it's not going to connect [21:15] dub54: is it running (check ps) [21:15] what command do i use to stop lftp from trying to reconnect? [21:15] dsathe: oh I see. true. but if their code acts differently on different operating systems thats where it might mention it. id be surprised if code built against the ubuntu package of a particular library would act differently when built against the freebsd version of the same library.

This apparently means "The connection specified by the port pair is not currently in use or currently not owned by an identifiable entity." How do I make the port pair owned by an identifiable entity? do i have to run irssi as a different user or oidentd as a different user?

[21:24] !checkinstall | Zarrku_ you don't want to use "make install" [21:24] Zarrku_ you don't want to use "make install": checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

I have some solutions that may help you some [21:31] gebbione: you new to linux? tried looking for what you want to install in the software centre? [21:31] yeah sysdoc [21:31] would you put there also things like the android sdk for instance?

[21:52] meoblast001: man adduser, man usermod to read i didn't wrote that as a joke [21:52] d [21:52] newubuntist: Just getting to that - Open up a terminal and do a "sudo chmod newubuntist: /path/to/file" (where newubuntist is your username) [21:52] fructose: that is the only barrier, legally [21:52] hm... what happened? [21:52] newubuntist: scratch that. [21:53] did i get removed from my original group "braden"? [21:53] newubuntist: That should have been chown, not chmod.

[21:53] meoblast001: usermod -G group sets "group" as the only group your're in. so it removes you from "admin" and all other groups [21:53] hi [21:53] Darel : i'll try it and get back to you thanks [21:53] ThinkT510: Under what country's laws?

[21:54] Flannel: j/w, how is adduser safer than anythingg else [21:55] ThinkT510: The application of the licenses depend on the country you're in [21:55] celthunder: it won't remove you from other groups [21:55] pylix: There are major advantages to the repository system. Unfortunately, it does mean that you occasionally end up in that situation. May I suggest a wired connection? Alternatively, you could find out the package name and download it on another machine from packages.ubuntu.com then transfer it by memory stick and install it. [21:55] pylix: dpkg -i .deb [21:55] celthunder: Because usermod, when used incorrectly (-G without -a) can inadvertantly remove you from all other groups [21:55] nvm thanks [21:55] llutz: meh i just use gpasswd -a or edit //etc/group [21:55] anyone knows how to fix veetle fullscreen issue?

[21:56] I'm using a usb [21:57] nicovl: is that the right uuid for your hard drive [21:57] yes [21:57] Alternatively, you could find out the package name and download it on another machine from packages.ubuntu.com then transfer it by memory stick and install it. that's what i tired but i get connection error messages when i open the .debs with the software center [21:57] I can mount the drive manually [21:57] near the end of the installs [21:57] ThinkT510: Well, if you can't settle on whether it is or isn't legal, I don't know how you settle on encouraging or discouraging it. I imagine you let people make the suggestion to install VLC all the time [21:57] pylix: dpkg -i <.deb> [21:58] celthunder, I can mount the drive manually once booted... It just messes up when I am booting [21:58] okay [21:58] ni [21:58] Anyone have an idea on waht I can do? [21:58] celthunder, I get a choice: and when I select ignore... then it actually mounts the filesystem [21:59] fructose: you asked about vm's and i gave you a response, i hope it helps you [21:59] celthunder, I found one forum post which seems to be about the same kind of issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/712811 [21:59] Ubuntu bug 712811 in mountall (Ubuntu) "mountall fails with "mountall: fsck /home [369] terminated with status 8"/ Non-existent device - Possible race ?"

[22:00] nicovl: I would suggest that you check the fstab line. If it involves a /dev/disk/by-uuid path, you could try replacing it with a UUID= line. If it already has one, you could try replacing it with a /dev/sdXY path? [22:00] How many cores are in the cire i7 930 bloomfield?

[22:02] yes [22:02] I see the ubuntu screen [22:03] then after a bit of loading it dumps me there with a blue menu [22:03] celthunder, mountall doesn't work very well once the system is booted... but I am not getting the same errors that I get when it boots up [22:03] I cannot type or anything. [22:03] nicovl: I agree that would be preferable, but reverting might be a temporary workaround at least. Just a suggestion. [22:04] so, any ideas? [22:04] Darael, the strange thing is it mounting the root and swap filesystems which are on an SSD and then it messes up when it tries to mount the filesystems on the HDD [22:04] nicovl: it failed on fsck.ext4 i thought [22:04] ratchet132: ctrl alt f1 [22:05] when I get it?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:22] CrustyBarnacle: but i never see a menu from grub, it just boots the (only one) os installed (fresh natty, only one kernel) [22:22] CrustyBarnacle, okay but I am lazy [22:22] CrustyBarnacle, I'll second it if you suggest it [22:23] CrustyBarnacle: i tried to set GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x24 and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024x24 but that didnt change it [22:25] repeat: If I boot to gnome2 and enable compiz in Natty, it drops the windows decorations and the appmenu, anyone have a solution for this yet? [22:25] ntr0py: uncomment GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" and try pressing the up/down arrow when you hear the beep. [22:25] CrustyBarnacle: but if initramfs comes up, i think grub is getting invoked by the bios or can it be invoked directly somehow? [22:25] sysdoc, what does the compiz log say?? [22:26] ntr0py: System boots, but just no choices, right? [22:26] fe when you put compiz --replace in a terminal [22:26] i was upgrading from 1010 to 1104. got an error message: nspluginwrapper was not able to upgrade. and it said system might be broken. is there an easy fix for it? [22:26] graingert: OK... sounds like a plan. [22:26] CrustyBarnacle: i have no beeper, its a Poulsbo atom board and boots from uSDHC card [22:26] CrustyBarnacle: yes boots without choices, maybe because ther is only one kernel?

[22:27] ntr0py: I just rebooted my netbook... repeatedly pressed up arrow just after BIOS splash [22:28] crazedpsyc, a sexy thing, pitty of the glossy screen [22:28] ntr0py: Grub options/choices are all there. Grub creates at least the defualt and recovery mode entries [22:28] tonyjansen: And performance? [22:28] CrustyBarnacle: strange, i never got grub choices or plymouth ubuntu logo, just a dark purplish bg and if you asked i think grub dont waits 10s for that [22:29] crazedpsyc, as opposed to what? [22:29] CrustyBarnacle, linky when done [22:29] what is the admins group? [22:29] crazedpsyc, a SSD fitted lappy wil beat any HDD fitted desktopPC hands down [22:29] the one that i accidentally removed myself from [22:30] tonyjansen: Nothing, I just want some opinions. To me it looks rather flimsy... [22:30] CrustyBarnacle: yes and i did sudo update-grub with severall options without any errors kernal parameters do show up in /proc/commandline [22:30] tonyjansen: Yeah, I know :D [22:30] i tried "usermod -aG admins braden" on my server, and got "admins is not a user" or something like that [22:30] crazedpsyc, built quality of IBM/Lenovo lappies is excellent [22:30] ntr0py: did you "sudo update-initramfs -u" ? [22:30] tonyjansen: Great! [22:31] crazedpsyc, they're second to none in PC land [22:31] tonyjansen: And is there an online store for the UK?

[22:33] CrustyBarnacle: i suspect it to have something to do with grub beeing unable to init the framebuffer or such [22:34] ntr0py: maybe try the default /etc/default/grub without your changes? [22:34] CrustyBarnacle: thats from where i started [22:34] doesn't grub take over a bit in the bootsector ? [22:34] ntr0py: Try default with GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 [22:35] CrustyBarnacle: yes fresh installed natty default one [22:36] CrustyBarnacle: Maybe its the same reason plymouth would not be able to display [22:37] ntr0py: is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 commented out? [22:37] i can't get compiz to work again anymore... i don't know why... but it has always worked before... [22:37] When I plug in an external screen, xrandr doesn't notice [22:37] CrustyBarnacle: yes, oh i just read "GRUB 2 will boot straight into the default operating system if no other operating system is detected. No menu will be displayed. If another operating system is detected, the GRUB 2 menu will display." [22:37] any idea how I can prompt it? [22:38] (i.e. it still says VGA1 Disconnected) [22:38] cirwin: might require a reboot [22:38] soreau: srsly?! I move my laptop around all the time [22:38] no chance I'm rebooting every half-hour [22:39] cirwin: Or you can try xrandr --output VGA1 set "load detection" 1 [22:39] CrustyBarnacle: thats why there is no 10s timeout and no choices, i hope it will change with the first kernel update...

I did a clean install of 11.04, and everything was working perfectly up until a couple of days ago. Now my mouse scroll wheel only scrolls in one direction (down) - I can't scroll up. I know the mouse is fine as I dual-boot with Win7 - any ideas? [23:21] N3: Does "firefox -v" show 4.0.1? [23:22] watnao: you want dhcp without the default gw? [23:22] CrustyBarnacle: yes [23:22] randomuser-field, So if I refrain from installing any non-free drivers I will be okay. Is that what you're saying? [23:23] CrustyBarnacle: Your netbook is also poulsbo gfx? Can you give me your config again im not on the Poulsbo box in question and it doesn seem to work... Now grub disables the screen totally [23:23] adam61: i know for sure based on past installations that the first link is at least mostly good. the second i hadn't tried till now and it was looking good until the test came back negative for soundcards [23:23] mattalexx, for example, if you install nvidia drivers and move to an ati machine, it wont work - by itself. [23:24] celthunder: ooops lol... i know for sure based on past installations that the first link is at least mostly good. the second i hadn't tried till now and it was looking good until the test came back negative for soundcards [23:24] ntr0py: Did not mean to say that. No, I have atom-based HP Mini 2140 [23:24] N3: Did your friend logout and back in? [23:24] no [23:24] I'm telling him [23:24] randomuser-field, I understand. Does Ubuntu detect hardware and install any drivers on its own, in the background? [23:24] N3: Maybe completely uninstall FF, then reinstall if logout doesn't fix it.

[23:39] nit-wit: The 10.3 update adds a way to control LSO or "flash cookies" via a control panel. It should be in System settings, but it isn't.

[23:40] thanks ubottu [23:40] guys, is there a good command to pull all the DNS name and mx records for a given IP? [23:40] ERROR: not enough args ?? [23:40] Narc, not sure soory.;) [23:41] earl_fx: What you actually want is the [sysreq] key, which IS usually on the printescreen [23:41] nit-wit: Yes, I tried, and it brings me to the web interface. [23:41] arand:thanks for the tip.... i was a bit unsure of the pipe [23:41] nit-wit: It's okay, thanks for your help anyway :) [23:41] Narc, are you trying to clean out flash cookies in FF [23:42] nit-wit: Well, I already have but the new control panel in Flash 10.3 has some filtering abilities from what I read. [23:43] Narc, I use better privacy a FF add on, bleachbit has a new cleaner I noticed today that gets thise pseky suckers.;) === Zorlin is now known as Guest17918 [23:44] Where can i get 915resolution i386 for natty?

[23:45] nit-wit: It is, they say on their website that the control panel should be located in System > Preferences > Adobe Flash Player === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:46] anyone know networking a little? === james is now known as jmayfield [23:46] how would I find out what port doom3 uses to connect to the net? [23:47] HELLO. I would like to ignore two dependencies on my remove operation [23:47] that is, I would like to apt-get remove without removing the dependent packaes [23:47] How can I do this? [23:48] socram: well, i cant pass any parameters to grub because it just runs by the menu. (holding shift+pressing arrow down), and btw the computer does a hard-lock when i run reboot so a hard reset is the only solution to reboot. [23:53] bannik: Do you run it now? [23:54] I am using 11.04 64bit (in the case that it makes a difference. I created a partition with the gparted I installed into 11.04. I can copy from another partition, but can't paste onto the created partition. Why and how can I make it accessible? [23:54] qin - run what? [23:54] doom3 [23:54] ya [23:55] got it fixed I hope [23:55] added 127.0.0.1 q4master.idsoftware.com idnet.ua-corp.com to the hosts file in the etc folder [23:55] I'm using LtS 10.04 - and want to know what scanners people have working with the 'simple scan' program. I have an old benq/acer which is not completely recognized. [23:55] ok [23:55] what is the hosts file? [23:56] I need a simple flatbed scanner for pics and some pdf file creation - should have said that up top. [23:56] bannik: /etc/hosts [23:56] yea but what does it do - I added the 127.0.0.1 q4master.idsoftware.com idnet.ua-corp.com and apparently this should block access to the net [23:56] does the host file do that? [23:56] nit-wit: Just for you to know, I found how. [23:57] Narc, cool how [23:57] bannik: no, it now redirects thost domains to localhost (127.0.0.1) [23:57] s/thost/those [23:57] lol thost my new word of the day [23:57] PANDA WATCH [23:58] nit-wit: You need to have "Adobe Flash Plugin 10" installed, not the plugin installer. Weird. Anyway, now the flash control panel shows up in system settings. [23:59] what about the host.deny file - if I add 127.0.0.1 q4master.idsoftware.com idnet.ua-corp.com would it block it? [23:59] bannik: no [23:59] When a partition's properties are undefined, how can I repair that?
