Or should I just boot up gParted and start nuking partitions? [00:10] is there a way to set the default printer to the pdf version of print to file ? [00:12] does richard stallman or linus or any of those dudes ever get on freenode? [00:12] I compiled 915resolution from hardy sources for my natty gma500 i386 box. Why cant I install the deb without destroying xserver-xorg-video-intel? This package does NOT provide this tool! [00:13] should i ask here for help with getting itunes to work with wine? [00:13] Lims: Depending on how you installed it, copy any files you want from the 11.04 partition, and upgrade the 10.10, then use gparted to kill what was 11.04 [00:13] Dakrav: #winehq may be a better channel and also look at !appdb [00:13] !appdb > Dakrav [00:13] Dakrav, please see my private message [00:14] thanks [00:14] hello [00:14] Has anyone used the Upgrade option on the Natty CD?

I've tried removing mysql-server, but then xampp's mysql won't work. So is there a way I can grab the PID of the process using port 3306 (preferably in a GUI) so that I can kill it.

Best to just ask the question to the channel (all on one line) and see if anyone knows :) [01:18] !help [01:18] 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. :-) [01:18] Fab. thanks [01:18] Question is this [01:18] that's what I said ubottu, yes. [01:18] Question - has anybody here used Deja Dup? I just came across it today, and I love everything about the program, but I'm trying to see if there's a way to use this program (or something very similar to it) that automatically mounts CIFS shares and rsync's the data across the network, however, uncompressed. Any thoughts? [01:19] I am using 10.04 and want to upgrade to 11.04. Is it best to do a fresh install rather than upgrade? [01:19] Guest69286: upgrade should work, but you'd have to do 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04, so it may be more hassle/bandwidth than you want to do. [01:19] Ok than Guest. [01:20] CD may be faster... you won't have to reinstall software if you upgrade :) [01:20] So I looked over kern.log, and it appears that linux had no idea that we were going to suddenly reboot. Does this imply that it's a hardware issue? [01:20] I have 11.04 on a CD - just d/l it. Can I just install it over the top onto the same partition? Or can I reformat it? [01:20] do you have a separate partition for /? [01:21] Guest69286: you can install it over the top of the same partition. It should automatically detect the existing Ubuntu installation and keep your /home files. [01:21] (but do backups anyway( [01:21] SudoKing: separate from what? [01:21] i put my /home on a separate partition:) [01:21] Thanks RWW, Guest and SudoKing [01:21] makes me feel safer, at least [01:21] I don't feel safe with repartitioning unless my data is on a drive that's not connected to the computer in question ;) [01:21] SudoKing: then it'd make more sense to ask the question the other way around :P [01:22] In nautilus I have created several bookmarks.

I am learning - hence silly questions. The box has 4 GB of RAM. [01:25] anyone running MAME?

It does not go through the shutdown process [01:34] hypoon, how long does it stay on? [01:35] hypoon, you should go to hardware channel, but I think you need to reconfigure your bios setup? [01:35] jiohdi: depends on how much I do. If I boot it up, log in, and leave it, it stays on much longer than if I boot it up, log in, and then open up firefox. [01:35] ouyes: it worked great up until today [01:35] ouyes: and we've had some moderate storms lately [01:35] hypoon, definitely does not sound like a hardware problem, hardware does not typically behave that way [01:36] does the bios give you information like the voltage on each rail and the temperature of the cpu?

I just came across it today, and I love everything about the program, but I'm trying to see if there's a way to use this program (or something very similar to it) that automatically mounts CIFS shares and rsync's the data across the network, however, uncompressed. Any thoughts? [01:40] pepsi: of course, they vary a little bit around those numbers. Temperatures have increased to 39C and 64C since I typed that [01:41] what processor? [01:41] roasted, i was using it some time ago with amazon storage [01:41] hypoon, temp can be a factor... check your fans to make sure they are not caked with crap and running properly [01:41] XuMuK, I love it, but I REALLY want to sync raw data. I asked the devs if it was an upcoming feature and they said no, that wasnt their target. [01:41] XuMuK, it was so depressing to hear that, as its such a solid application [01:42] XuMuK, do you know of any other apps that have the same functionality yet can sync raw data? [01:42] hypoon, though the temp thing is often not power supply problem by video card or main processor [01:42] by=but* [01:42] roasted, rsyns via sftp [01:43] rsync* [01:43] pepsi: I'm sorry to say that I don't know what processor this is, I'm not very familiar with this machine [01:43] anyone experienced with webkit building from surces, best if on 11.04 ? [01:43] XuMuK, I was hoping for an easy to use gui :( [01:43] Is there something like grub2-extras for ubuntu? [01:43] roasted, there are few frontend for rsync there [01:43] i need http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub-extras/915resolution/files [01:43] XuMuK, any you recommend? [01:44] hypoon, so try a live cd or swap the psu with the other computer temporarily [01:44] pepsi: yeah, I don't have any other PSU's on hand. I'm making a live-usb now [01:44] roasted, i don't use them anymore, i couldn't say you right now... ask google) [01:44] hypoon, you said you have 2 computers [01:44] XuMuK, been there. tried about 10 of them. none compare to deja dup, yet I want RAW data. gahh. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:45] pepsi: yes, but the other machine's PSU is underpowered for this machine [01:45] I think I've found a bug regarding the ath5k driver for my AR5414 atheros chipset in my laptop. It will not list any wireless APs at all on 11.04 (of Ubuntu & Kubuntu & Fedora 15 beta.. so I think it's a kernel issue) [01:45] roasted, yeah, deja dup compress it all [01:45] pepsi: this machine has dual 1TB's in a raid0 [01:46] XuMuK, and it auto mounts cifs shares, something none of the others did. its SO convenient... [01:46] I am new to submitting bug reports so if someone could help me does so I would greatly appreciate it as my wireless no longer works. [01:46] pepsi: it's a desktop machine though, not a server. [01:46] roasted, as i sad, i didn't use them with cifs, but with remote amazon storage [01:47] hypoon, personally, i'd try it anyhow.. but i've never cared about my power supplies much, even with 4 or 5 hard drives [01:47] XuMuK, yeah :( [01:47] pepsi: I'll see if they can be swapped. I don't know if the other PSU has sata power on it or not, I'll look in a moment [01:48] another weird thing is that it doesn't reboot on me if I go into recovery mode [01:48] but it does if I boot an older kernel [01:48] (not in recovery mode) [01:49] maybe your graphics card hates you [01:49] pepsi: that's why I'm curious how the liveUSB will perform [01:50] I can't believe its so diff to get MAME running in LNX, there is no consolidated documentation.. [01:50] i am getting Lost of Screen tearing with The ATI Xord drivers. dose anybody know how to fix this issue? [01:50] Question - has anybody used gnome scheduler? I set up a recurring task but it doesn't seem to run, even tho it's set to run at every minute of the day. Meanwhile if I execute the command manually, it works fine. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === claudio_ is now known as botinha [01:54] hypoon: consider running a memtest overnight to verify the hardware? [01:55] roasted: which command? Have you tried it under 'at' or via 'crontab'? I dunno much about gnome scheduler... [01:55] is anyone familiar with vgaswitheroo? [01:55] Anyone know about MAME? [01:55] hypoon, what situation are you facing? tell us what happened exactly [01:56] What can you tell me about MAME [01:56] Am I in the right place. Noob here, have an odd question about installing ubuntu. [01:56] <- curious about mame as well [01:56] Hello. Natty installer does not detect my hard drive, yet nautilus from the live cd sees it fine and I can read and write data to it from nautilus. Running a raid 1 on an integrated SIL3114 on my Asus A8N motherboard. Thanks! [01:57] Loshki, I just found it on accident and thought "oh that might be a nicer way to set jobs than crontab" [01:57] Sidd1217: Ask away, otherwise no one will answer. [01:57] Sidd1217: this is the right place, just ask your question and if someone knows they may answer... [01:57] Loshki, I may be deploying ubuntu at work so I'm trying to find gui apps so certain people dont crap themselves. [01:58] TurkuSama If I were running Windows f*n 98 through Win7, I'd have MAME up in 5 min with ROMs. But as always LNX documentation is non-conclusive or up to date on how to get it running. [01:58] what's the simplest program I can use to crop an image? [01:58] ouyes: The computer booted up today. I logged in. Shortly afterward, the screen went black, and I started to boot up again. Rinse and repeat ;-) [01:58] Question - with cron, how can I set a job to run at login? [01:58] Perhaps somebody will answer. I'm booting 11.04 off of a cd. It won't install due to [error 5]...I think there's a scratch on the disc. I thought I'd install via a flash drive, but I now know this old box won't boot from usb. [01:58] hello [01:59] i can't help you there, i've tried searching on google [01:59] cirwin GIMP [01:59] can anyone tell me why backtrack crashed [01:59] i was going to lurk here for awhile till someone answered you === hi is now known as Guest27996 [01:59] My question is, is there a way I can install *from* the ubuntu flash drive, while running from the ubuntu cd. [01:59] spankbot: that's the "simplest", seriously... I might as well use imagemagick [01:59] can anyone tell me why backtrack crashed [01:59] hi: ask in #backtrack [01:59] roasted: well, if you want to debug this, I'd still start by seeing if you can get it to run ok with at or crontab [01:59] Guest27996: because backtrack is not Ubuntu [01:59] hypoon, horrible, what gave you by unam -a? [01:59] cirwin it's LNX, nothing is meant to be simplest [01:59] !backtrack | Guest27996 [01:59] Guest27996: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [01:59] Loshki: I ran memtest, it said everything was OK. I only ran one pass though [02:00] cirwin, shotwell, fotoxx [02:00] Loshki, it works fine if I run it manually. I almost think its just the program itself as it has some options Im not sure of. [02:00] nejode: thanks [02:00] hypoon, and what is your computer type or model? [02:00] ouyes: I just booted off of a liveUSB [02:00] ouyes: it's a custom built machine, I don't remember the processor. 512MB of ram, dual 1TB sata's in RAID0 [02:00] ouyes: ubuntu 10.4.2 LTS [02:01] ouyes: recovery mode seems stable, but neither this kernel nor the previous kernel are, it reboots either way. [02:02] ouyes: it seems to last longer if I don't do anything than if I open firefox, etc... [02:02] roasted: the environment in which the commands run delayed isn't exactly the same as when running from the cli. That's why I wondered about running under crontab. Also consider running from a shell script and adding echo statements so you can see when the script starts and ends... [02:02] Loshki, have you used any rsync gui apps by chance? [02:02] Hey, has anyone had issues running applications under WINE and losing their sound? [02:02] well [02:02] that was interesting [02:03] running off of my liveUSB [02:03] I rebooted [02:03] must be hardware === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO [02:03] roasted: sorry, I don't use gui stuff much at all (I find them often buggy). I do use rsync from the command line, though... [02:04] Loshki, as do I. just trying to find gui alternatives for some stuff to ease a certain group of people into linux :: [02:04] :P [02:04] [ubuntu 11.04] how do i change my desktop icons to whatever .png or .ico I want? [02:04] roasted: I understand. Maybe write a shell script for them instead? [02:04] Loshki, thats possible too. I just thought it would be easier to find an app that doenst suck, considering theres like 12 to choose from [02:05] hypoon: lshw should tell you lots about your hardware. Did you run memtest overnight? [02:05] Loshki, the problem is each app has a shining featur about it the others dont have. if only i could just combine them all... === Urocyon_ is now known as Urocyon [02:05] roasted: I'd trade 11 of those apps for one which really works well.... :-( [02:06] Loshki, there is one that works super well, but it only supports compression. i want to sync raw data as this file server is also a media server. i cant relaly stream data thats tarballed. ya know? [02:06] hey serge what needs to be finished in userns? maybe I can help out [02:06] hallyn [02:06] Loshki, the devs on launchpad said they hadnt intended to support raw transmission of data. im tempted to offer a fat donation if they do, as that kind of app would be a true blessing to have at owrk. [02:07] how can i install python2.5 pip on ubuntu 11.04? [02:07] roasted: what exactly are you trying to do? [02:07] my 10.10 live usb keeps stalling on the "preparing to install ubuntu" tab.. any idea what its doing? [02:08] Loshki, I want a program that does the following. auto mount a CIFS share and rsync all data in raw format to the CIFS share. I'd also like it to do it at certain times with a scheduler [02:08] How can I read/install Ubuntu 11.04 from a bootable USB flash drive while running off of a Ubuntu 11.04 cd? Long story. [02:08] Loshki, grsync does this, but has no scheduler or auto mount. deja dup does this, but only supports compression, no raw data. luckybackup wont sync files for me, only empty directories (dont ask, i have no idea) [02:09] hallyn what needs to be finished with userns maybe I can help out [02:09] question: which ones are the coolest games you have for ubuntu? [02:09] roasted: well personally, I would script it, using mount & rsync, and invoke it from crontab.... [02:09] xonotic? [02:09] Loshki, that may be my only choice here, but I felt like I was so close woth deja dup [02:09] Hello. Natty installer does not detect my hard drive, yet nautilus from the live cd sees it fine and I can read and write data to it from nautilus. Running a raid 1 on an integrated SIL3114 on my Asus A8N motherboard. Thanks! [02:10] Loshki, its even coming on the livecd of 11.10 and fedora 13. its a really solid application, like macs back in time or time machine or whatever that thing is. [02:10] Loshki, ive tested it extensively, it works spot on. I just wish it wasnt tarballs :/ [02:10] how can i install python2.5 pip on ubuntu 11.04? [02:12] roasted: generally, if it has a gui, it's not usually designed to run unattended... [02:12] Loshki, I fail to see why that would be an issue. the thing runs in the background without issue. [02:13] Sorry about that. [02:13] ok so i have run into an issue after installing from a usb made with unetbootin [02:13] my fresh installation will not start unless the usb is inserted [02:14] i am looking for someone to help me answer some questions [02:14] i have a feeling i should install grub to the hard drive from the live image on the usb, does that sound like the right thing to do? [02:14] roasted: generally, if there's a gui, it was designed for someone to sit there and interact. It doesn't *have* to be that way, but mostly it is. Let me know if you need scripting help. Otherwise, try a 2nd opinion... [02:14] how many workspaces does ubuntu support? [02:15] shawn_: how do you think you could possibly find such people without letting people know what the questions are? [02:15] my ubuntu keeps freezing after i click forward on the "preparing to install ubuntu" step, where it has the 3 green checkmarks... do i need to download a new iso? [02:15] Loshki, I fail to see how it requires someone to interact if it was designed with a scheduler, though... [02:15] shawn_: define "workspace" [02:15] Loshki, because, if thats the case, whats the excuse for cron being acceptable? [02:15] anyone have advice for me? [02:16] just dont wanna go do something i shouldnt lol [02:16] quint, I wonder if the boot record is on the usb drive, somehow [02:16] quint: what are you trying to accomplish? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:16] quint, what error do you get if theres no usb drive in? [02:16] no error just blinking cursor (bios i think) [02:17] mbr is on usb most likely [02:17] quint, id restore grub, but direct it to the hard drive [02:17] thats what i thought [02:17] quint, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html [02:17] just needed a second opinion [02:17] ive used that before [02:17] about 3 days ago actually. haha [02:17] thanks guys! [02:17] much appreciated [02:17] quint: try something [02:17] good luck [02:18] roasted: sorry, wish I could help better... [02:18] quint: if that doesn't work, try something else [02:18] lol :P [02:18] will do [02:18] Loshki, its okay, i just wasnt understanding your take on the unattended thing :P [02:18] quint: seriously ... I do things that way [02:18] quint: of course I have some background knowledge to help arrange the order of things to try in an optimal sequence [02:19] skarpen, does ubuntu come with open office by default [02:19] no [02:19] libre office [02:19] nwmcsween: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace [02:19] as of 11.04 [02:19] previous versions came with open office === hallyn is now known as hallyn_afk [02:19] quint: if you ask "will X work" ... we answer "let us know after you try it" [02:19] Loshki: I didn't let it run overnight, no. It took about 15 minutes to do one pass, and I exited during the second pass. Pardon me while I swap PSUs with another machine I forgot was around. [02:19] quint: unless, of course, we've already done exactly what you are asking about [02:20] ok i'll report back with result in a few [02:20] is there a bootloader that can handle more than 4 OSes? I think grub is capped out at 3 [02:20] thanks :) [02:20] quint: you've mentioned usb and grub and booting ... somehow I wonder if you are trying to make an ISO bootable on a flash drive [02:20] Skaperen, he already did. thats how he installed ubuntu. [02:20] nwmcsween: look at the recent userns patches applied to Linus' tree - first step is converting remaining capable calls to ns_capable when appropriate, and converting remaining userid checks to be userns aware. [02:21] how can i install python2.5 pip on ubuntu 11.04? guys seriously this can not be that hard [02:21] roasted: OK ... and did you notice what his trouble was? [02:21] Anyone idea of how to add a new keyboard shortcut under GNOME 3? The "+" button in gnome-control-center is grayed out. [02:21] Skaperen, his issue is now that ubuntu is installed, he cannot boot it WITHOUT the usb drive he installed from [02:21] Skaperen, as if the MBR is on the flash drive, noit the proper hard drive [02:21] hello, my sound is not working with some programs, but I am able to test the speakers (and headphones) just fine. does anybody know how to better diagnose this? [02:22] anyone has a ubuntu 11.04 installed in a toshiba satelitte u505 notebook [02:22] roasted: ah ... then the installer ended up putting grub in the wrong place [02:22] roasted: well, there *are* guis whose purpose is to schedule things in the background. I'm just saying that the vast majority of them aren't designed for batch use, which they probably were not designed/tested for... [02:22] my system load is 7.6 while cpu usage is only about 5% avg, what could be wrong? [02:22] Loshki, well considering that one app is going to be preinstalled on ubuntu 11.10s live cd and fedora 13, id give it the benefit of the doubt it was tested :P [02:23] Loshki, but I undertstand [02:23] Anyone know how i can point localhost.com toward localhost on my machine? I tried adding '127.0.0.1 localhost.com' to my hosts file and restarting but it didn't work [02:24] Flynsarmy: that would be it for those programs that would check /etc/hosts ... but not all do [02:25] <_Neytiri_> i am having a issue playing HD video files on my system, the video is freesing up and skipping, the audio is fine tho and i am useing 100% of my cpu's [02:25] roasted: we'll just have to disagree on that point :-). When deadlines get tight, testing is often the last thing done and the first thing to be skimped on.... [02:25] Skaperen: i was using the browser. i'd expect it to check the file? [02:25] Flynsarmy: are you running your own DNS cache server? If not, you could. Put a zone file in it for localhost.com [02:25] Flynsarmy, when you ping localhost.com from a command line, what IP address does it resolve to? [02:25] Loshki, well, so far its the one backup program that worked predictably for me each time, so Ill still give it a +1 :P [02:26] stbain: 64.99.64.32 [02:26] Flynsarmy: I don't know if firefox does or not ... but I know it doesn't re-read /etc/resolv.conf readily, so it appears it may be doing its own non-standard lookups [02:26] where is the right place to set an environment variable? [02:26] roasted: cool, let us know how you get on with automating it... [02:26] Flynsarmy, you should have a 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts that already had localhost on it [02:26] why does the 11.04 upgrade want to remove banshee? i thought it was the new default? [02:26] stbain: by default /etc/hosts was blank [02:27] Loshki, well, that program is the one that only does compression. ill probably use it somewhere, but not everywhere, as i need raw data in some areas, remember? :P [02:27] Hello. Natty installer does not detect my hard drive, yet nautilus from the live cd sees it fine and I can read and write data to it from nautilus. Running a raid 1 on an integrated SIL3114 on my Asus A8N motherboard. Thanks! [02:27] stbain: ohhh i see! i was typing in /etc/host due to tabbing issues. i had it wrong. thanks! === Toph is now known as Guest91532 === adexter is now known as Ick [02:27] Flynsarmy: it could be that the browser reads these files once and caches them ... if so, you'd have to quit the browser (not just close the window) and restart it, to have it re-read to pick up changes [02:27] Flynsarmy, just add a space and localhost.com to the end of the line... I just tried it. Worked for me. [02:27] musicMonster: depends on how long it should be around, and who should see it. ~/.bashrc is often a good choice... [02:27] shouldn't even need to reboot, just restart browser [02:28] Flynsarmy: ah ... wrong name would do it [02:28] * Skaperen ran into a bug today with a program that could not read /etc/resolv.conf at all ... because of apparmor [02:29] isn't banshee the default media player in 11.04? [02:29] * hypoon hates stubborn motherboard connectors [02:29] yes [02:29] <_Neytiri_> i am having a issue playing HD video files on my system, the video is freesing up and skipping, the audio is fine tho and i am using 100% of my cpu's it does it with vlc media player and Movie player [02:30] hypoon: hate them more if they fall off [02:30] roasted, then why does the upgrade to 11.04 want to remove it? [02:30] Since upgrading to Natty, my laptop no longer hibernates. Anyone have a link to explanation / fix that I can research on? Found a few searching but nothing definitive yet. [02:30] Loshki: well im trying to setup the go programming and it says i need to add /home/go/bin to my path [02:30] tanath, i have no idea. i dont normally do upgrades to be honest wiht you [02:30] Skaperen: o.O how'd you manage that? === Cain` is now known as Cain [02:31] hypoon: didn't happen to me ... happened to one of the people that was testing the documentation [02:31] hypoon: but it wasn't her fault ... it looked like a bad soldering job [02:32] musicMonster: if it's for just one user, I would add it to the PATH in ~/.bashrc, then logout & login again & check the value of PATH [02:32] Skaperen: I was thinking, somebody must have had some serious overheating issues if they desoldered the motherboard connector! [02:32] how many workspaces can you set up [02:32] Loshki: oh ok i didnt logout perfect I will try that. Thank you. [02:32] hypoon: it broke off when she was trying to connect it ... looked like bad manufacturing [02:33] Skaperen: wow [02:33] how can i install python2.5 pip on ubuntu 11.04? guys seriously this can not be that hard [02:33] shawn_: how many do you need? [02:33] Skaperen: I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, I got a board in the mail yesterday where a SMD LED fell off [02:33] hypoon: it was a mini-PCI, like the kind Wifi board plug into inside routers and laptops, but it was added to the edge of the board in a weak way [02:33] why do all distros have a slower keyboard response than mac and windows? [02:34] ksyw: they don't normally [02:34] <_Neytiri_> i am having a issue playing HD video files on my system, the video is freesing up and skipping, the audio is fine tho and i am using 100% of my cpu's it does it with vlc media player and Movie player, i am running 10.4 with 2 gigs of ram, dule core 3.6 ghz [02:34] aeon-ltd: they dont normally what [02:34] damn, this PSU doesn't have the four pin CPU power [02:34] the wireless article really saved me. thank you Ubuntu for great documentation. was difficult to get the network up with no network connection [02:34] ksyw: they don't normally have slower res[onse [02:34] *respone [02:34] hypoon: there are adapters for that [02:34] *response [02:35] Skaperen: no adapters in my pockets though :-/ [02:35] aeon-ltd: so your saying you cannot see a difference in speed/response when you type on linux and windows'? === cristian is now known as Guest30302 [02:35] ksyw: no, unless under heavy load [02:35] loshki im wondering how many it supports. its for a class exam [02:35] heavy load as in what do you mean aeon-ltd [02:35] Skaperen: I was feeling lucky when I had a sata power adapter on me [02:36] ksyw: cpu near maxing out [02:37] :p [02:37] aeon-ltd: ok, im surprised you cannot see it [02:37] hypoon: about every 3 years they have to make up new connector types to maintain a revenue stream of people buying stuff [02:37] aeon-ltd: if you type something fast on windows and fast on lets say ubuntu.. you cant see that the lettrs show up on windows faster? [02:38] ksyw: no [02:38] aeon-ltd: hmm [02:39] ksyw: I notice this in gnome and gtk based distros [02:39] But those are memory hogs [02:39] foul_owl: oh ya? [02:39] Running fluxbox rather than metacity works great [02:40] foul_owl: whicj distros have a better keyboard response... the non gnomes? [02:40] foul_owl: I like dwm, nice and fast [02:40] metacity, nautilus, and firefox all use waaaay too much memory for me [02:40] not to mention pretty much all gtk apps [02:41] i use ubuntu, but install fluxbox, midori, and the x file mamanger [02:41] *manager [02:41] <_Neytiri_> i am having a issue playing HD video files on my system, the video is freesing up and skipping, the audio is fine tho and i am using 100% of my cpu's it does it with vlc media player and Movie player, i am running 10.4 with 2 gigs of ram, dule core 3.6 ghz, any idea on how to fix this? [02:41] foul_owl: what about kde? [02:41] I honestly have not tried it [02:41] _Neytiri_: What is your video card? [02:41] ok [02:42] openarena, mplayer, etc all run great with the fluxbox setup, but choke under gnome [02:42] <_Neytiri_> hmm thats a tough one, i dont know off hte top of my head , but let me look [02:42] k [02:42] i have been meaning to write a tutorial about my setup [02:42] I love running mplayer using the framebuffer driver [02:43] <_Neytiri_> its a nvidia gforce 9400 [02:43] <_Neytiri_> 9400 GT [02:43] _Neytiri_: there's your problem, the drivers for that vid card are not quite supported yet [02:43] * ksyw passes gas [02:44] i think linux distros need to focus on keeping apps lightweight, not everyone can afford new hardware, not to mention windows 2000 had a responsive gui running with a pentium 2 and 64 mb of ram [02:44] anything that can change my gui or skin for ubuntu 11.04? [02:44] I actually heard 2000 was more stable than xp [02:44] <_Neytiri_> really? its been working fine for a lot of things non hd video, included [02:44] _Neytiri_: maybe find some proprietary (gasp!) drivers or get a different video card [02:44] _Neytiri_: oh? hmm [02:45] <_Neytiri_> i am useing the nvidia drives for linux [02:45] _Neytiri_: how big is this file you are trying to play? [02:45] i had been trying to find what was slowing things down so much for me, and finally i narrowed it down to gnome apps [02:45] <_Neytiri_> 12.7 Gb [02:45] on unity 2d, my mouse scroll wheel does not change the volume. this works fine in unity 3d. is this normal? [02:46] gnome terminal is too much of a hog too, xterm is way faster for me [02:46] _Neytiri_: hmm, have you tried the video on a different OS on the same computer? [02:46] marca311: what the hell are you talking about? GF9 is far from brand new.. [02:47] foul_owl: I've not had a problem with gnome-terminal. plus, other terminals don't display byobu applets properly :( [02:47] szal: did I say something about the age? [02:47] <_Neytiri_> ya worked fine when i was useing microcrap [02:47] marca311: you seemed to imply something along these lines [02:47] szal: whoops, i had no intention of doing so [02:48] when I chage cursors the default white one is still there, sometimes the new cursor will show in windows or when i select a window border. what do i need 2 do to change the cursor for everything? [02:48] [03:43:56] _Neytiri_: there's your problem, the drivers for that vid card are not quite supported yet <- or what did you mean by that? [02:48] My laptop is a pentium 3 with 256 mb ram. i know hardware is cheap, but i don't want to jsut throw it out, i know a gui os can run fine on it [02:48] szal: I've had a lot of problems with Nvidia and Ubuntu [02:49] _Neytiri_: I would suggest either find some way to reduce load on your graphics card or get a new one === hypoon_ is now known as hypoon [02:50] hi all [02:50] i've big problem [02:50] where can i find bash history logged? [02:50] hello, I was wondering if there is a version of ubuntu that I can run on an intel 64 chip [02:50] <_Neytiri_> i have tried it with nothing but the gui and the media playter running and no avail [02:51] E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'multiarch-support'.

[02:54] edwintodd: explain more plz [02:54] Linux tumenjargal 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [02:54] my computer [02:54] marc311, wireless driver down, ethernet driver down, trying to install STA driver from USB [02:54] edwintodd: .tar is like .zip. you don't install it. it's just a folder full of files [02:55] Does anyone have any idea why in Features' hook_taxonomy_default_vocabularies_alter(&$vocabularies) I can var_dump($vocabularies['my_vocab']) and it gives me the vocab.. but when I run $vocabs = taxonomy_vocabulary_get_names() in the same place, $vocabs['my_vocab'] returns NULL??? [02:55] edwintodd: ah, have you unpacked the .tar file? [02:55] chaw: 11.04 natty narwhal is the current stable release, but not as stable as the long term support like 10.04 [02:55] marca311, no, how do I unpack? With Ubuntu? [02:55] edwintodd: yes [02:56] edwintodd: you should be able to just doubleclick on it and extract it from there [02:56] oh wait.. I think I just answered my own question... because the alter hook is running BEFORE the taxonomy defaults are actually getting saved to the db.. which explains why this was working when the vocab was already created.. der.. nm [02:57] hmmm.. wonder which features hook I should write my "create these terms in the default vocab" code then... ? [02:57] I just ran updates, and now flash isn't working? Kubuntu 11.04, chromium 11.0.696.65 (84435) [02:57] marca311, then what command do I use in terminal to install driver? [02:58] edwintodd: it depends what was in the file, was there a file called "configure"? [02:58] does any one know what package the desktop notifications belong to? [02:58] :) [02:59] on unity 2d, my mouse scroll wheel does not change the volume. this works fine in unity 3d. is this normal? [03:00] and the moment of truth, running on a different PSU. will it work? [03:00] dylan_: there are several notification daemons, notify-osd is used by default in ubuntu, most programs use libnotify to send the notifications, notify-send in libnotify-bin can be used to send them from the command line [03:00] marca311, 'lib', 'src', 'makefile', no configure [03:01] edwintodd: sweet [03:01] trism: thanks [03:01] edwintodd: go into terminal and go to that directory [03:03] marca311, at command line, what to type to see directory?

[03:04] edwintodd: cd [insert directory here] [03:04] hello guys [03:04] im absolutely noob in linux [03:04] edwintodd: question, where did you extract it too [03:04] Anyone know of a way to install Windows 7 on a machine, using PXE from an Ubuntu machine? [03:04] noob: really now? [03:05] marc311, when dir is typed, files are visble. [03:05] can anybody help me figure things out? :) [03:05] kzetts, you may want to ask in #windows [03:05] marc311, home directory [03:05] yes marca311 im very new to linux [03:05] Why would I ask about installing from PXE FROM an Ubuntu box in #windows? [03:05] edwintodd: an easier way to do that is the command "ls" [03:05] guys this is gonna sound stupid, but is there a windows registry editor for ubuntu? [03:05] edwintodd: so, where did you extract the files to? [03:06] marc311, home directory [03:06] kzetts: because you want to get windows? [03:06] files are visible when dir is entered [03:06] kzetts, it's a network Windows install, the PXE part is pretty straight forward [03:07] Not really, what I want to know is how to mount any random ISO from a PXE host installed on an Ubuntu box. For all intents and purposes I could be installing VMWare ESX or Citrix Xen. [03:07] The OS is irrevelent. [03:07] edwintodd: oh, sorry, didn't see the first time, in which case type "cd ~/[insert folder name here] [03:07] can anybody help me with my phpmyadmin problem?. please [03:07] kzetts, ahhh, the PXE howto is probably your best bet [03:07] Helloo , is Qin in? [03:07] noob: i might be able to help, what is the problem? [03:07] noob what is your prob? [03:07] qin [03:07] wew tnx marca [03:08] widewake: they've been idle for 3 hours [03:08] marc311, two folder names, "lib" and "src", which one? [03:08] guys this is gonna sound stupid, but is there a windows registry editor for ubuntu? [03:08] oh ok [03:08] LAcan, I believe WINE ships with one [03:08] is there a way to see a userlist? [03:08] i can only see who is in by the chat text itself [03:08] edwintodd: oh you extracted it without a folder, oh, i see... in which case, type: "make" [03:08] im using xchat [03:09] E: Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [03:09] E: The list of sources could not be read. [03:09] Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. [03:09] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [03:09] JoeR1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:09] I would like to know how to rectify this error message [03:09] stbain, ty [03:09] edwintodd: when that is done, type: "sudo make install" (as long as there were no errors) [03:10] what is wrong with the message? [03:10] anyone? [03:10] well it is keeping me from using apt-get or Synaptic [03:10] marc311, errors are listed, can I paste.ubuntu so you can see, would that help? [03:10] the sources file might be corrupt [03:11] LAcan not like you are thinking in Windows. If you use WINE (Windows Is Not Emulated) there is a virtual registry so windows programs work. Nothing to do with your *nix userland [03:11] edwintodd: yes, that would help [03:11] JoeR1, what is on line 60 [03:11] JoeR1: open /etc/apt/sources.list, go to line 60, fix it... [03:11] Hello TODOS PUTOS!!!!! means hello boys :) [03:11] can you show line 60 (just the one line) ? [03:11] stbain rww - thanks, I feel foolish after hearing that but thanks all the same [03:11] Onryo, no, i need to gank a rootkitted registry key and cant do it from windows cuz of permissions.. [03:12] marc311, http://paste.ubuntu.com/609284/ [03:12] LAcan you have a rootkit in your Kernel? Or just WINE? [03:12] sup guys?? how is everybody today? I dont know about you but I have been working on fing code all day. And i get home and plan to do some ftp work bc the fing boss is a demanding mfer... anyways i go to ftp and it says no route to hose even tho I can ping the host. what gives?

[03:15] no route to host shouldnt be their if I can ping the damn site? [03:15] drowningIW: Your ftp is not running, ping server, or nmap can shed some night. [03:15] marca311, everything seemed OK (wl driver, ethernet driver) until I upgraded to 11.04, then the wireless stopped working. This driver is from broadcom for a STA driver. I don't have any internet connection on my laptop, so I can [03:16] marca311, can't use the software center. [03:17] Thanks guys I found out what was wrong, I forgot to put "main" at the end of some software sources [03:17] easy fix and I feel like a n idiot for doing it and for not thinking of how to fix it [03:18] edwintodd: hmm, check the page where you found the driver, see if it needs anything to be installed [03:18] no way these are burst .net work servers [03:18] i'll nmap the server [03:18] marca heres the prob when i installed php5 and tried to restart apache it says "The apache error log may have more information (failed)" [03:18] LAcan If you need to clean up I had some food in the oven. You you want to clean up cruft from your system [03:18] noob tail your etc/log/ [03:18] marca heres the prob when i installed php5 and tried to restart apache it says "The apache error log may have more information (failed)" [03:18] LAcan computer-janitor find [03:19] their should be an apache folder in their [03:19] LAcan computer-janitor clean --all [03:19] and you can see the error [03:19] my apache log is in [03:19] /var/log/apache2 [03:20] ok wait [03:20] noob: check the apache log [03:20] dang, too late [03:20] hehe [03:20] how do i check my apache log?

[03:25] LAcan if you have had some windows stuff on your box you might want to do this after clamscan / -ir --exclude-dir=^/sys --exclude-dir=^/dev --exclude-dir=^/proc --detect-pua=yes --scan-mail=yes --log=/home/clamscan.log [03:26] do you have the problem that the wireless adapter is often turned off automatically since upgrade to 11.04 [03:26] marca311, check this out and see if my headers and tools are missing, http://paste.ubuntu.com/609290/ [03:26] marca311, the paste is from the readme.txt file at broadcom's download site [03:27] kunu wireless and bluetooth sometimes turn off on me, also bluetooth often dosent connect, i have to make it do it [03:27] thank you guys. thank you drowningIW and marca11 [03:27] usually after a screensaver/power option has been invoked kunu [03:27] edwintodd: i'm guessing you don't have those packages, i'll send you links [03:28] I recently purchased an RTL8191SEvB pci wireless card. I installed the driver and firmware on the disc. I have wireless connectivity. However, it drops out. When it drops out, the only way I can get it to connect again is by restarting. The only way I've managed to maintain connectivity is to keep a ping to google.com going. It seems that it drops out as soon as connectivity stops being ideal. Has anyone experienced anything like [03:29] leftiness: have you tried using all the different wireless channels? [03:29] edwintodd: actually you can get the packages you need at: packages.ubuntu.com [03:30] Zelozelos, no ,I'm using ,turned off Suddenly [03:30] Skaperen: I've tried channel 6, the default channel provided in wicd, as well as channel 9, the channel recommended in a forum, and channel auto. None seem to make a difference, though there may be something specifically required. [03:30] leftiness that card is know for problems. What kernel are you using? === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [03:30] What's the console apt-get FE which allows you to choose how to resolve deps? [03:30] leftiness, marca311 is prob on the right track, check for channel interference, if u have an android phone theres an awesome app that would be gr8 for it [03:31] leftniness uname -a [03:31] leftiness: There was no native drivers? [03:31] I installed gnome-shell through the ppa repository, and now my screen isn't rendering properly. Is there a known fix for this? [03:32] Onryo: I realize that it's known for problems. I regret not checking that beforehand. I'm using kernel 2.6.38. I expect that the channel is the issue as it's the only lead I've noticed in forums, so I'm only checking here as a formality. I do have an Optimus V with Android 2.2, though I'm unsure how that would help. [03:32] edwintodd: brb [03:32] qin: The drivers are native. I used the instructions provided in the readme to compile the driver from source. It works, though again it has quirks. [03:33] I'll continue working with different channels. Thank you for the sanity check. [03:33] hey all, to those who were helping me: swapping the PSU seems to have done the trick [03:33] now I just need to order a new one I suppose [03:33] thanks all! [03:33] leftiness: By native I mean from ubuntu repos, not .deb from web or source. [03:33] leftniness what does lsmod | grep r8192 show you? [03:34] Zelozelos, Have you solved that problem [03:34] The regular upater update my flash on my 64 bit to 10.3, Now flash does not work on any of the browser (flash, chromium). How can I revert back? [03:34] kunu nope, well sorta, i disable all the power options cept my screen turning off after an hour of inactivity [03:35] qin: The driver probed is r8192se_pci. This seems accurate as I'm using an RTL8191SEvB wireless card, and I've read that the difference between 8192 and 8191 is only desktop and laptop sizing, that the driver is compatible with both. [03:36] kunu u should check to see if theres an offical but report on it [03:36] leftiness: May be some subtel compilation difference (to work better with Ubuntu kernel i.e.) [03:36] what exactally is zeitgeist? [03:36] as for myself, ill just patiently wait for it to fix its self hahaaaa [03:37] Again, thank you for the sanity check. The #ubuntu channel is always quick with helpful insights. [03:37] Zelozelos, Have you had this problem with before upgrade to 11.04 [03:37] kunu not at all, it all worked perfectly [03:37] leftniness Well that problem was more or less fixed in 2.6.35 but some ppl still had problems. Often a BIOS update did the trick. Have you tried that? [03:38] Zelozelos, and I am [03:38] left... [03:38] leftniness I am guessing your on a 64bit system. [03:38] hello folks, I need the terminal commmand that will list connected devices, does such a thing exust? [03:39] marca311, dizzy - I a true novice and with out internet on the computer packages and downloads are confusing.. any ideas? [03:39] JoeR1: lsusb and lspci should work [03:39] JoeR1: lsusb, lspci, lshw [03:39] JoeR1: also dmsg | tail [03:40] *dmesg [03:41] edwintodd: http://keryxproject.org/ [03:41] fluffman - very well, Now i need to find out what the device is named as by linux, for example I need to find it in the format /dev/device_here [03:41] how do i get gdm to execute my .xinitrc? It seems to have read it once and stored things in a session somewhere now. [03:42] JoeR1: if it's a USB drive plugged in, then I just do "ls /dev | grep sd" [03:42] oh crap [03:42] edwintodd: type: "sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic === Guest74708 is now known as squonk [03:42] " [03:42] i want to tinker with scripts in .xinitrc, not have autosaved sessions and whatnot. i just want autologin from gdm. or should i drop gdm [03:42] okay that is strange [03:43] fluffman - it is a USB webcam and i cannot get Skype to produce video so I thought perhaps it had the wrong device name [03:43] how do i underclock my cpu for powersaving purposes [03:43] but after careful consideration i have decided this is most likely not the case [03:43] edwintodd: send me the output [03:44] JoeR1: download cheese webcam booth [03:44] anyone had any issues with the grub customizer changing the background and colors n stuff? i got the answer from the developer himself ;) [03:44] What program for Ubuntu can do stuff like Adobe: After Effects can? [03:44] fluffman can this be done with apt-get? [03:44] wait, yes it should be able to [03:44] edwintodd: all the things up to the part where it asks the (Y/N) question [03:44] i added a repository that allowed akype [03:44] i've found that cheese is better at detecting webcams, and should tell you the /dev name [03:45] oh wait, cheese in in the software manager [03:45] JoeR1: sudo apt-get install cheese === ga4desk is now known as ubusammyn150 [03:46] How do I reinstall a game that I purchased in the ubuntu software center? [03:46] JoeR1: if cheese doesn't pick up the webcam, then you've probably got a camera that just won't work in linux [03:46] ok, the usb is tagged bootable,lba and is fat32.. why isnt the samsung n150 booting from usb when i tell it to? [03:46] ubuntuguy: What are you trying to accomplish by reinstalling it? [03:46] What program for Ubuntu can do stuff like Adobe: After Effects can? [03:46] ubuntuguy: file > reinstall purchased apps [03:46] just want to know for future reference so when I do a fresh install [03:47] Thanks, I'll look for that [03:47] hmm [03:47] Thanks!

[03:52] how do i install sword2 game?.:) [03:52] not to mention the kewl peeps helping out here ;) [03:52] yeah [03:52] noob: ubuntu software center or synaptic package manager [03:52] fluffman - very well, one moment and I will report my results [03:52] *tries to google "how to boot from usb on a samsung n150"* [03:52] marca311, here the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/609294/ [03:53] cool indeed i mean i jsut discovered ican chat people with this OS [03:53] lol feels like im not alone [03:53] so im trying to dual boot ubuntu and windows: can i create one partition for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for files that can be accessed by both? [03:53] is that possible? [03:53] although im really noob [03:53] noob: like he said... check out the synaptic package manager or the ubuntu software support center.... if you are using gnome,. it should be on the action bar on the left side. [03:53] edwintodd: oh, jeez, that complicates it [03:53] :) [03:53] it is on my install anyway. [03:54] ok tnx..marca and squonk [03:54] your a life saver.. :) [03:54] not a good sign... shall I try a fresh install of 11.04 [03:55] edwintodd: no, definitely not [03:56] marca is [03:56] so im trying to dual boot ubuntu and windows: can i create one partition for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for files that can be accessed by both? I understand the concept of a swap partition but can i just have all the files be on that swap partition and then access them all from each os? [03:56] I'm new too. [03:56] edwintodd: try the second command on the list: sudo apt-get build-dep linux [03:56] I just remember what I've learned in here and playing around. [03:56] i think im gonna hang here from this point onwards :) [03:56] reiner swap is virtual memory.. [03:57] kk who want's bbq chicken n tater wedgies? [03:57] but im gonna change my nick...hmm [03:57] meee... [03:57] wew [03:57] * squonk grins and goes to have dinner. [03:57] Reinier_Strobos: that's not what swap is for. [03:57] me! [03:57] :) === Reinier_Strobos is now known as rayy [03:57] Reinier_Strobos: you don't need a partition to hold files for both. Ubuntu can read Windows files just fine. [03:57] Reinier_Strobos, also ubuntu can see files on both drives/parts but windows see's only windows stuff [03:57] ok [03:57] ok [03:57] how do i fix the karaoke effect in my audio? all of my music and audio is like this [03:58] wew!..my brother just arrived tnx for the tips guys..:) [03:58] ubusammyn150: you can install software on windows to see your ubuntu partition [03:58] marca3111, http://paste.ubuntu.com/609297/ [03:58] rayy, it may be possible to load a virtual machine in windows to run your linux in windows [03:58] leigh: do you have like a feed back loop? try mucking with the settings in your audio menu [03:58] like virtual box? [03:58] oh cool, ty marca [03:59] yes i have wubi on this computer but I want to try to dual boot [03:59] ubusammyn150: i believe it's called EXT2 IFS [03:59] running natty on intel x-25m G1...looking good so far :) [03:59] close to giving up, tried everything but can't get wifi working on asus 1001p eee pc, ubuntu 10.10 [03:59] any help? [03:59] pyfon: what is the wireless card? [03:59] isnt that compatable with the ralink drivers? [04:00] fluffman - where do i find the audio menu? i see the sound settings in preferences [04:00] ok so windows is installed and when using the prepare disk utility on ubuntu how do i determine the size of each partition? [04:00] leigh: yep [04:00] ?? [04:01] marca311: AR2427 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [04:01] you're there. [04:01] does anybody in here knows what is crash bang?.my brother just asked me. [04:01] i have a problem witrh open arena in natty, it says "cg_registrationitemvisuals out of range blah blah " [04:01] ok [04:01] marca311, see my paste? http://paste.ubuntu.com/609297/ [04:02] i thought seahorse integrates file encryption into nautalis but i dont see any option to encrypt a text file [04:02] noob: You mean shebang? [04:02] fluffman - do you have any recommendation about how to test the built in mic on my webcam? [04:02] noob: I think he means crunchbang. It's a distro. Google 'ubuntu crunchbang" [04:02] right click your sound icon applet and click preferences [04:02] edwintodd: i'm sorry, i have no idea how to solve your problem [04:02] JoeR1: ^ [04:03] yeah yea crunchbang i mean [04:03] marca311, thanks. [04:03] ubusammyn150 so if that is the case should i allocate most of the partition for windows and then a small amount for ubuntu [04:03] tnx [04:03] there is something wrong with my screensaver, I am runing Linux Nobody 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux, and once the screensaver was active, you can't go back to normal screen, no matter you type what, no response, I have to hold the power button until the lap shutdown, what is wrong with my thinkpad x201? [04:03] JoeR1: look under the input tab and select the correct connector [04:03] fluffman, I do not get a preferences [04:03] i have a problem with openarena game in natty, it says "cg_registrationitemvisuals out of range blah blah " and crashes in multiplayer [04:03] pyfon: have you tried using ndiswrapper? it's bad, but it works [04:04] ubusammyn150 or create a third partition for data and then download the os's on separate partitions? [04:04] JoeR1: look under System > Preferences > Sound then [04:04] fluffman - i retract that I found the preferences [04:04] cool [04:04] rayy, using wubi is dual booting [04:04] marca311: that is what i'm currently using, it works sometimes, but once I restart it rarelly works again [04:04] ubusammyn150 but its not partitions though [04:04] what would you be allocateing more space for? [04:04] m i invisible or cant i see ur reply?? :P [04:04] yes actually it is [04:05] pyfon: ah, sounds like a problem with my current wireless driver on my netbook, sorry, i have no idea [04:05] do you have gpart? [04:05] fluffman - i do not have the input tab though [04:05] ubusammyn150 im confused with the whole concept of partitions i think [04:05] it will list wubi's parts as ntfs because it was installed from windows [04:05] JoeR1: what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:05] with my samsung it listed 4 parts on one drive.. 2 of those are win 7 [04:05] openarena: that's because people here don't know how to deal with that [04:05] 11. something, whatever the newest is [04:06] 11.04 [04:06] ubusammyn150 my understanding is that you can only access files on the partition that the os is operating on [04:06] marca311: I find it hard to accept ubuntu wifi still being any issue at that stage in the game [04:06] JoeR1: weeeeeiiiiiirrrd. can't help ya then. [04:06] ifluffman I am acctually on Xubuntu [04:06] ah, hmm [04:07] ubusammyn150 but thats not true? i want to put the os [04:07] pyfon: yeah, me too, but what should be native drivers for me have never worked [04:07] rayy, ubuntu will be able to access both file systems... win7 has software available that can see ubuntu as well [04:07] JoeR1: actually, try running alsamixer from the terminal [04:07] i thought seahorse integrates file encryption into nautalis but i dont see any option to encrypt a text file [04:07] 11.04 can't be that different from previous versions can it? [04:07] very well one moment [04:07] can anybody help with what I think is a very basic networking problem? [04:08] peteforsyth: go for it [04:08] so yes, with some software, i don't know what... you can use ubuntu or windows and freely access files on either os partitions [04:08] JoeR1: the workings aren't THAT different, but Xubuntu is *quite* different from Ubuntu [04:08] fluffman - alsmixer is running in the terminal [04:08] thanks marca3111 ! I'd like to assign a static IP to my ubuntu box on my lan [04:08] (use it as a file server, etc.) [04:08] wubi makes it's own partitions during the install [04:08] I have made the settings, including the DNS server addresses from my cable modem's settings.. [04:08] JoeR1: see if you can find your mic listed there then. use M to mute or unmute channels [04:09] peteforsyth: what ubuntu are you running? [04:09] but I can't connect to anything named on the internet [04:09] uubusammyn150 so are programs located on the separate partition. so say in my case i create three partitions, one with windows (70gb), one with ubuntu (40gb), and a third for all data/ programs (390gb) can i run the programs on the third partition on both os's? [04:09] I am currently using xubuntu 11.04 [04:09] fluffman - it is currently set to off and unmuting has no effect [04:09] Hello, everybody :) [04:09] but I tried this also under vanilla ubuntu 11.04 before installing xubuntu, and had the same problem. [04:10] marca3111: I can ping my router, but if I try, say, ping yahoo.com -- no response. (also no response on web browser) [04:10] windows and ubuntu, would be for all your data... xfs file system should be compatable with both os's [04:10] can someone point me to a complete list of apps included in the live CD? [04:10] when setting the static ip settings on xubuntu, did you set the dns server to your router IP? === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [04:11] ah -- no, I manually entered the DNS servers that the router has. [04:11] but i can't be sure about that, i don't have personal experieence with that.. but for example.. if you make a third ntfs in windows...only windows will see it [04:11] I will try it like you say though [04:11] JoeR1: use the up and down arrow keys to raise the volume [04:11] has anyone met someone who both against gay marriage and not a complete moron? Just curious... [04:11] arent there tools out there for linux to read and write ntfs [04:11] no, no i'm wrong ubuntu can see all partitions.. and you'll be able to mount it as another drive even [04:11] peteforsyth: that is probably your problem (I hope) [04:12] fluffman - unsuscessful, however spacebar did move a "capture" indicator to the mic [04:12] !ot | Cydd [04:12] Cydd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:12] hameerabbasi150 wat do u intend to do with that list ? [04:12] how do I go about changing the highlighted entry under grub2, so where if nothing is selected within so many seconds, it automatically selects? [04:13] I dunno. I intend to keep ubuntu installed and the livecd for recovery and partitioning purposes. [04:13] why would you want to make another partition if ubuntu and windows could be used? it may help with performance tho [04:13] rudi_: ntfs is supported [04:13] mainly partitioning [04:14] qin, so in that case, if i wanted to make a third partition to hold media files I would not experience any issues on ubuntu or windows? [04:14] Note: if you try to install windows on the same drive as ubuntu..it will overwrite the boot loader.. [04:14] fluffman - any idea? [04:14] I'm trying to make a launcher for minecraft, can someone help me, it's in my home directory under .minecraft [04:14] I want to know if It has GParted, in particular [04:14] JoeR1: sorry. i'm at a loss [04:14] jeaton: edit GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.... [04:14] thanks [04:15] jeaton: edit GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, then run update-grub to propagate the change... [04:15] fluffman - one moment I may have found something [04:15] hameerabbasi150 can i pm u ? [04:15] go ahead [04:16] marca3111: still can't ping :( [04:16] I need something that can tell me if it is receiving input from a mic [04:16] ubuntuguy: put this in a .sh file: java -jar -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M ~/.minecraft/minecraft.jar [04:16] peteforsyth: hmm [04:16] What's a .sh file, sorry newbie question [04:16] would it help if I provide more details about my network? [04:16] JoeR1: try audacity [04:17] peteforsyth: sure [04:17] JoeR1: or skype :P [04:17] fluffman - thanks lol [04:17] alias irssi="screen -wipe; screen -A -U -x -R -S irssi irssi" [04:17] zhende [04:17] marca3111: router is 192.168.1.1, netmask should be 255.255.255.0, the dhcp range is 192.168.1.50 and up, and I'm trying to assign it 192.168.1.5 (though it really doesn't matter as long as I can give it any static on the network) [04:18] ubuntuguy: its a script that executes unix commands [04:18] cak054: what's that do? [04:18] when I log into the router, I see these for dns servers: 68.87.76.182 and 68.87.76.134 [04:18] ubuntuguy: rightclick on a folder window and go to create document, and then empty file, name that file minecraftlauncher.sh and paste the previous text inside [04:18] peteforsyth: manually set your dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [04:18] So I'm naming the minecraft.jar file minecraftlaucher.sh? [04:18] 能写汉字吗 [04:19] no [04:19] 用英文看不懂 [04:19] peteforsyth: to see if that helps...just maybe. Also, have you run "sudo restart networking"? [04:19] ubuntuguy: no, you're making a program to start minecraft [04:19] 没有中国人吗？ [04:19] fluffman: still not working [04:20] wait, I'll try restart networking [04:20] lz: #ubuntu-cn is place talk about chinese [04:20] Ok, I did it, let me create launcher now [04:20] "restart: unknown instance" [04:20] fluffman: ^^ [04:20] peteforsyth: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:20] ok [04:20] 有会翻译的阿 [04:21] lz > !cn [04:21] done, but ping yahoo.com still does nothing [04:21] lz > !chinese [04:21] dah! [04:21] yes [04:22] Do I import the code with text editor? [04:23] ubuntuguy: put this in the text file: java -jar -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M ~/.minecraft/minecraft.jar [04:23] Ok, so I create a empty document file thingy, and opened it with text editor after naming it what you told me to name it, and I put in that code, now what do I launch it with? [04:24] More often than it should, my windows lose their decorations in Natty. How can I restart the window manager? I used to use the compiz fusion icon, but there is no place for that now. Any advice? [04:24] ubuntuguy: go into terminal (ctrl-alt-t) [04:24] ubuntuguy: make sure that after renaming it with the sh extension, you right click and go to properties. then go to permissions and check allow execution [04:24] ubuntuguy: that works too [04:25] hello [04:25] can anyone suggest some channels for generic operating system issues.. [04:25] is optimus working on 11.04 [04:25] hm, wierd, it's not launching minecraft [04:25] georgie: what do you mean? [04:25] i thought seahorse integrates file encryption into nautalis but i dont see any option to encrypt a text file [04:25] Any advice on how to restart the window manager and restore decorations? [04:26] i'm learning operating system concepts and i've some questions which is not any particular os specific [04:26] jwm123: restart the window manager: sudo killall nautilus [04:27] thanks marca3111. I'll let you know how it goes [04:27] ubuntuguy: Try running the shell script from the command line and see if it produces any errors. [04:27] georgie: ah, idk about a general location [04:27] In a second [04:27] bed time, night all! [04:27] fluffman - audacity registers the mic as "USB:camera USB:Audio (hw;1,0) mic 0" [04:27] trying something new quickly [04:28] no effect marca3111 [04:28] how do I add the chrome icon to the dock in natty? [04:29] electro: run chrome then right click on its icon and pin it [04:29] electro_: With chrome running, right-click on the icon and select "Keep in Launcher" [04:30] JoeR1: can you record with the mic in audacity? [04:31] hill [04:31] fluffman: thanks for trying, I appreciate it! I'm really befuddled by this..it seems like a very basic change. Ah well, I guess I'll try another day! [04:31] fluffman yes and I found the control to modify mic volume in the mixer controls [04:31] Drag/dropping Chrome to the unity dock doesn't usually work for me. I think it has to do with google-chrome being a multilayered wrapper script [04:31] I may be able to use this with skype or gynache soon === ypwong is now known as a16g [04:32] JoeR1: good. hope so. [04:32] magn3ts: Is that your question? [04:33] magn3ts: can't you just open it and then lock it to the panel? [04:33] fluffman, yes, and that works fine. [04:33] CrustyBarnacle, no, someone elses, sorry just chiming in with an anecdote that might be why the other person was having difficulty [04:33] anybody know how to underclock for powersave [04:34] methedman, if you're on a modern processor it is for you. [04:34] magn3ts: what? [04:34] how can I run cat and push the result as root? "sudo cat /dev/null > /var/log/nginx/error.log" gives me permission denied [04:34] methedman, it's likely that it's already happening, for you. [04:35] magn3ts: the cpu's lowest speed is 33% of max or 800MHz [04:35] i want to set my cpu at something like 400MhZ magn3ts [04:35] Oh, I'm not sure if that's something you do at the ubuntu level. [04:36] what do you mean "ubuntu level" magn3ts [04:36] !help [04:36] 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. :-) [04:36] methedman, I think for underclocking like that you have to deal with bios. [04:36] I was using wine to run spotify on Ubuntu, and it worked fine. But then today, this "new terms of use" box, popups everytime I start spotify, and it crashes. What todo? [04:36] bencc, the easy way is just to elevate to root and then run that command. What are you expecting that command to do? [04:37] magn3ts: this works: sudo bash -c 'cat file > file2' [04:37] bencc, good solution! [04:38] fluffman - I can smell success thanks for the help i will keep you informed [04:38] JoeR1: yw. :D [04:38] bencc, I think that's also something you can use `tee` for. [04:39] methedman: laptop-mode-tools? [04:39] methedman: not sure if it lets you underclock that far... [04:39] I have a program that wants Ctrl-Alt-T to be its own shortcut. [04:39] fluffman: I maybe narrowed my networking conundrum down a bit. I tried the same settings on my Mac, and was also unsuccessful. So, it seems either my router is doing something strange (caching MAC addresses??) that prevents the host from getting through after changing to a static IP....or I'm just very confused about the network and doing something stupid on both machines. [04:39] How do I get a brightness applet in ubuntu 11.04 [04:39] Is there a way to have Ctrl-Alt-T launch a terminal normally, but just be used by this program when it's the active window? [04:39] lmao I love how they took out the "Add to panel..." option :s [04:40] now my laptop screen is stuck at full brightness and can't add applet to lower it [04:40] ubuntu_, they switched from gnome-panel to their own thing that allows the use of indicator applets rather than gnome-panel applets. [04:40] Does ubuntu have anything similar to gmail plasmoid? [04:40] ubuntu_, sadly I'm not sure what the best way to resolve it is. [04:40] bencc: The *best* way would be to run the entire command in a subshell with elevated privs using sudo. ex: sudo sh -c "command_to_run" [04:40] magn3ts: their own thing doesn't let you add any different applets [04:41] which can accept mutiple accounts, shows the count in each account and also displays the subject of each mail? [04:41] ubuntu_, I know. I hate those stupid applets though. But I understand why you need it. I'll look for you. [04:41] CHris_H, um, I'm not sure. === ypwong is now known as a16g [04:41] magn3ts: I wanted to try unity, but I don't want to miss this app [04:41] CHris_H: don't bother, not customizable at all :s [04:41] probably going to install xfce [04:41] :< [04:41] CHris_H, you don't have to stop using it (most likely) [04:42] ubuntu_, ... you can just revert to classic GNOME... there's no need to run to a new DE. [04:42] Unless you want to of course. [04:42] magn3ts: I kind of want to because they're removing classic GNOME in 11.10 lol [04:42] ubuntu_, it's not ideal since you have to go to CLI to change it, but short term: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10795424 [04:42] magn3ts: I am using Kubuntu, and I do love the unity, atleast its something new to the eyes [04:42] ubuntu_, they're just upgrading to GNOME 3. I'm not sure if GNOME 2 will be available from repos though... [04:43] I hope they add more customization features :) [04:43] <3 ubuntu, been using it since dapper [04:43] and thanks for the command magn3ts :D [04:43] CHris_H, I thought I wouldn't like Unity- I was quite happy with cardapio and Docky... I miss Cardapio (I think the application lens is just the saddest thing I've ever seen since windows ME), but I really like Unity otherwise. [04:43] It will be still possible to run gnome 3 without the shell, so nobody should notice any major differences unless they choose to. [04:44] apn, I didn't know that the legacy gnome-panel setup still existed in gnome3. I'll have to keep that in mind. === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [04:44] I guess that makes sense though, they're not going to abandon non-compositable computer.s [04:44] Do you guys use any kind of gmail notifier applet, applcation, screenlet or whatever you call it in Ubuntu? [04:45] magn3ts: bash: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness: Permission denied [04:45] widget ? [04:45] does conky count? [04:45] CHris_H: nope. I only ever have two programs running: terminal and chrome [04:45] has anybody else had bad experiences with luckybackup? I can't get this darn program to transfer anything EXCEPT empty directories. [04:45] ubuntu_, sudo? [04:45] magn3ts: sudo still returned permission denied :s [04:45] kamran1: yes, any gmail widget for Ubuntu unity/ === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [04:46] ubuntu_, do `sudo -s` first, then type the command, then `exit` at the end to get out of root. [04:46] magn3ts: that worked :) [04:47] booting into ubuntu forces me into the Memtest for some reason [04:47] ubuntu_, great :) [04:47] i can't get the bootloader to change options or anything [04:47] gigawatt34: hold shift while booting [04:47] magn3ts: pretty insecure to have to open a root session to change screen brightness though lol... [04:47] !grub [04:47] 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) [04:48] gigawatt34: grub config file got messed up? Can you check your menu.lst file? [04:48] no let me try to boot holding shift jas [04:48] Never mind, found several gmail notifiers. Thanks all [04:48] ubuntu_, eh, if you're only executing one command, it doesn't matter. you could also do `sudo bash -c ""` but they're effectively the same thing. [04:48] even holding shift it forced into memtest [04:49] fluffman - well skype still doesn't make use of the camera or mic but I will just have to look around online to see if I am missing some packages, A likely scenario since this is a recent install of linux [04:49] wait got it [04:49] but now i get a blank purple screen [04:50] JoeR1: thanks for keeping me updated. good luck with that. sorry we couldn't get it perfect, but at least we know that the mic/cam work otherwise [04:50] indeed, thanks for all the help === peteforsyth_ is now known as peteforsyth [04:50] asdadasdasd [04:51] sup [04:51] gigawatt34: sounds like your grub got hosed then. see what CrustyBarnacle posted [04:51] where is the menu/lst file [04:51] magn3ts: you must be joking, if I was to install ubuntu/unity on laptops for people I oversee I could never add them to the sudoers file just to change screen brightness [04:51] !grub [04:51] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[04:51] i got into it, the newest kernal is broken for me i have to boot into the old one [04:51] ubuntu_, :) of course that's not practical. [04:52] ubuntu_, not sure what else to tell you for now though. try google, port the brightness applet to an app indicaotr? [04:52] gigawatt34: Grub2 boot options (what is displayed to the user at boot) are configured in /etc/default/grub [04:52] i cant get my second monitor to work [04:52] I took notes in tomboy, and now I want to send them to someone who probably uses Windows via email. I'm trying to paste them into Yahoo mail, but it won't paste. What's wrong? [04:53] also im stuck at 50 hz [04:53] magn3ts: yeah, I was just trying it out live :3 Natty is quite beta, going to wait for Oneiric and see if customization is possible in it...thanks for the help :) [04:53] I'm having trouble connecting to an Ad-hoc network.. I've rebooted a couple times, the connection works in other OS's.. what else can I try to make it work [04:53] i think the driver for Nvidia is terrible for ubuntu haha [04:54] excelsior: Working fine here from Tomboy to Gmail. [04:54] What's the best way to run Windows XP on my Ubuntu machine? I have a program I want to use that only runs under Windows. Virtual Box? [04:55] excelsior: How are you cutting/pasting? [04:55] manlymatt83: if it won't run under wine, then yes, virtualbox... [04:55] excelsior: Both ctrl-c and right-click Cut working for me. [04:55] Loshki: This is the Blackberry OS Installer, I doubt it will run under Wine [04:56] manlymatt83: I doubt it too :-) [04:56] Loshki: I haven't done anything with VirtualBox. Just apt-get install VirtualBox, then use it to create the VM and pop the CD in my CDROM? [04:57] It's too bad I can't install Windows 7 in Virtual Box. My Laptop came with it (I have an unused product key because I formatted and immediately installed Ubuntu) [04:57] manlymatt83: I use vmware myself, but basically that's the idea.... [04:58] Loshki: VMWare isn't free, right? [04:59] While VirtualBox seems to be [04:59] manlymatt83: I think that's correct, vmware is a commercial product, virtualbox is free. [04:59] manlymatt83, no it is free for home use just have to reg but it is free [05:01] does anyone use Nvidia cards here? [05:01] ouch [05:01] moises: yes [05:02] moses: yes [05:02] do you have a good refresh rate and dual monitor support? [05:02] moses: yes, no complains whatsoever. [05:02] what driver? [05:02] moses: proprietary from nvidia website. [05:03] how do you install it? [05:03] moses: kill X server, apt-get kernel sources and headers, and run the script. [05:04] moses: but I guess it is not recommended in Ubuntu as there are click-friendly solutions. [05:04] join ##0day [05:04] join ##0day [05:04] now about not? [05:04] *how, even [05:04] apn, why doesnt the software updating suete have the nvidia drivers? [05:05] moses: it does. I just prefer to do things myself. [05:05] but the one i did install sucks [05:05] it doesnt offer dual monitor support [05:06] ok i did a reinstall off everything made a small fat32 partion to save some music and movies etc and so i could retrieve them from [05:06] moses: are you using nvidia-settings utility? [05:06] windows [05:06] apn not that i know of [05:07] moses: use it instead of gnome or kde monitor configuration tools. [05:07] installing ubuntu i have set the fat32 partion as /fat32/tmp in [05:07] apn good call [05:07] it works perfectly [05:08] although i dont know how to restard the x server [05:08] i have sense remove the drive and expanded ntfs [05:08] moses: log out and in, it should do it. [05:08] everytime i reboot it trying to still mount /fat32/tmp [05:09] but i have erased them [05:09] uofm49426: remove this line from /etc/fstab [05:09] ho [05:09] i have a question about ubuntu1, i have my desktop sync'd and i was wondering if i delete files on my dt are they eventually deleted on ubuntu1 or do i need to remember to go there sometimes and delete them manually? [05:09] does anyone know why gparted would say I have 4 primary partitions when I really have 3 and 1 extended? [05:09] !netsplit [05:09] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [05:10] uofm49426: sudo nano /etc/fstab [05:10] rudi_, does it have something 2 do with ext4 perhaps? [05:10] Just did a base server install, update & upgrade [05:10] looking for ext2resize [05:10] rudi_: extended partition is a partition as well [05:11] Zelozelos: my ubuntu installation is on ext4 yes [05:11] reiser [05:11] apn: i'm aware, but extended partitions are not primary [05:11] oh yeah [05:11] works perfectly [05:11] now [05:11] then it is also a primary partition [05:11] what about my soundcard? [05:11] hiexpo, Loshki: Looks like Xen is a good option, too, no? [05:11] any advice for getting that to work? [05:12] rudi_: actually, it is seen like one from fs point of view. [05:12] Xen alwys crashes my kernel [05:12] in fstap # the beginning and end of the line [05:12] does anyone know if grub has an official symbol? [05:12] carnage1: compile the module yourself. It is not a standard behavior. === gremset_ is now known as gremset [05:12] gparted says I have a boot partition, windows ntfs, ext4 ubuntu, and a swap partition(extended) [05:13] Zelozelos, dont know if this is oficial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Grub_logo.png [05:13] and now im left with 160gb unallocated space that it won't let me partition [05:13] rudi_, thats correct 4 primary [05:14] Zelo: how can I turn that extra space into something my windows and ubuntu can use [05:14] i was originally planning on creating a last partition to store music, videos, etc. but its obviously not turning out as I expected [05:14] rudi_, u talking about the swap, i wouldnt mess with it, its calculated by your hd size and amount of memory, unless its hugh [05:15] moses: what is your problem with the sound card? [05:15] next nvidia driver and a purple slash screen fix [05:15] i need to install driver [05:15] h/o [05:15] also [05:15] zelo: no, I'm talking about the 160gb I purposely left open to create the fifth partition [05:15] i cant drag programs onto my activated second monitor ? [05:15] moses, is this nvidia , ati . or intel video? [05:15] nvidia [05:16] moses: sure you can. What environment are you using? [05:16] moses, is the driver installed [05:16] it just locks me out from the right monitor [05:16] rudi_, shouldnt it be listed somehow like unused space or something? never done it that way i usually split partitions [05:16] rudi_: you can most likely use gparted or something to move things around if you want [05:16] what do you mean environment? [05:16] Zelozelos: http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/LOGO/grub2.png === fakewaffle_ is now known as fakewaffle [05:16] i have seperate x screen checked [05:16] moses, thats why you cant drag to the other monitor separate xscreens [05:17] what should i select then? [05:17] moses, open nvidia settings from terminal sudo nvidia-settings [05:17] i can move my mouse over though? [05:17] its open [05:17] ty coz_ and CrustyBarnacle those dont look very offical though [05:17] anyone ever try mint [05:17] rudi_: just be aware that changing existing partitions carries a risk of damage to data if your computer crashes or turns off during the operation [05:17] moses, click on "X Server Display Configuration" [05:17] Zelozelos: Yeah, don't see any official logo available. [05:17] ok i did [05:17] theres twinview [05:18] CrustyBarnacle: http://www.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/pub/MALUNKI/LOGO/grub.png according to grub website [05:18] moses, do you see both monitors in the graphics there? [05:18] when you think of grub, what comes 2 mind (besides the insect)? [05:18] is there a general linux chat on here [05:18] i do indeed [05:18] moses, click on the secondary monitor to set the resolution you want then click Configure then choose Twinview [05:18] Zelozelos: Both of the logos are linked from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ [05:18] ok [05:18] so twinview is the one i want [05:18] #linux [05:18] andantino: Try #linux or #ubuntu-ooftopic I guess [05:18] woop [05:19] moses, then click Save to X configuration and close out,, then either reboot or restart x to see if it holds in twinview [05:19] woops forgot join [05:19] thanks arand === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:19] why is it that when i join certain channel and type a message it says "cannot send to channel" === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest2625 [05:20] andantino, could be that channel requires to to authenticate [05:20] andantino, probably because your nick is not registered [05:20] can someone suggest me a partition scheme that would allow me to have the boot partition, windows, ubuntu, and a "media" partition that they can both read and write from. I dont understand this stuff as well as I thought I did. [05:20] using /msg nickserve [05:20] andantino: register your nick with nickserv [05:20] rudi_, your media probably should be ntfs/fat. I'd recommend NTFS. [05:20] andantino: That is a security measure against evil people who try to disturb normal IRC operation. [05:20] join ##linux [05:20] ahhh thanks syrinx [05:20] rudi_, and then you just make the partitions how ever you like them! Don't forget about a swap partition if you want one. [05:21] temples of syrinx? [05:21] thats right [05:21] oops, pardon my fat fingers [05:21] missing system resource panel on ubuntu 11.04 [05:21] For anyone who's interested I had some interesting experiences with the new Ubuntu. I attempted to install it on my IBM yesterday. The installer crashed, it had corrupted my hard drive, memory, and possibly processor so badly that I couldn't even boot the live disk. [05:21] Loshki, do you mean /join ##linux [05:21] any alternative in unity cause i am not able to add panels [05:21] it broke [05:21] i was listening to that song earlier on my mp3 [05:21] didnt work [05:21] I couldn't boot Back Track in silent mode (no disk) [05:21] "ulimit -n" gives me "1024" but "lsof | grep user | wc -l" gives me "5336" how is it possible? [05:21] bolt12, you can log off then log onto classic [05:21] they have a gui start up editor it lets you customize boot from grubs resolution to fixing splash resolution [05:21] coz_: yes, got there in the end, thanks... [05:22] coz_, lol [05:22] magn3ts: that was my plan but now I'm stuck because I accidentally left the 160gb allocated, thinking I could later format it but it turns out that not I have 4 primaries [05:22] I couldn't boot a windows install disk [05:22] how about something like this http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12470 its obvious what its for [05:22] coz_, i mean anything which is in unity [05:22] bolt12, not sure exactly what you want.. [05:22] I was about to give up completely on the computer (thought it had really broke something) [05:22] coz_, well I am searching for some way to add panel or widget [05:22] to display system resource of my work station [05:22] mr_strigiformes: Did you try power off, disconnect from outlet and hold down power button to drain all power from the motherboard? === kevin_ is now known as uvacavwhat [05:23] and easy access resource graphs [05:23] like the panel available in classic [05:23] have you tried windows? [05:23] Crusty, oh yes. [05:23] Tried everything [05:23] bolt12, for 11.04? me 2 couldnt come up w anything [05:23] Tried windows [05:23] bolt12, ah mm,, well the upper panel is no longer an actual gnome panel in Unity so no on that,, however,, you can add a dock like cairo dock,,, [05:23] greetings [05:23] coz_, have you ever run into this before? [05:23] I fixed it though [05:23] And here's how [05:23] mr_strigiformes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:23] mr_strigiformes: corrupted bios? [05:23] anyone had any success creating a live ubuntu usb stick that works with a Mac laptop? [05:24] I manage to create the image in the usb disk but can't find a way for the Mac to detect the stick upon boot [05:24] anyone else notice their computer running much cooler? i guess because of an update?.. im kinda freaked out that its lying to me cause im really running 10-15 degrees cooler the past week or so [05:24] I popped in a seriously old Slack distro. [05:24] does the docks interfere with the new side panel? === lau_ is now known as Guest28100 [05:24] I have not tried any docks just curious will it work with the side panel enabled [05:24] bolt12, no cairo dock works perfectly anyhow dk about the others [05:24] bolt12, no they dont interfere unless you place them on top of the Launcher [05:24] It booted, I ran fdisk, The hard drive was so corrupted it took a little work but I got a new part table and ran memcheck on the memory fixing the errors. [05:24] ZeloZelos: Will both ubuntu and windows be able to access an extended partition? [05:25] StartUp-manager is the name of the program is this in ubuntu repository [05:25] awesome, ty Zelozelos and coz_ [05:25] can anyone help please? [05:25] rudi_: yes, as long as both of them can read file system on it. [05:25] rudi_, if the extended partition is not ext4 or 3 windows will be able to yes [05:25] So, if anyone else comes along with a computer that really wont boot anything, pass the word. Download Slack from like 2002. It seems to work. [05:25] remember how mandrake had textured panel colors? [05:25] yeah it wont let me put anything on this right monitor, i wonder why???? [05:25] rudi_, windows dosent use swap to compress memory, it has a diff way and the space is on the same partition [05:26] Diana, not sure if anyone will know about Mac issues here [05:26] moses, this is not nvidia related, but X or DE [05:26] Diana: Does your MAC know how to boot a USB stick? [05:26] rudi_, I havent found a good utility for windows that reads ext file systems so best best is the extended partion in fat or ntfs [05:26] I press alto upon start to reach the boot menu [05:26] but only shows my HD [05:26] not the usb stick as it says on ubuntu website [05:27] Diana, hmm try bois , see if usb is detected there [05:27] apn so ill google then? [05:27] Diana: Try powering off your MAC, stick in the USB stick, then cold power on the MAC and go to the boot menu. [05:27] mac bios hahahahha [05:27] i donno about mac [05:27] apn, coz, Zelozelos: thanks guys, I'm resizing the extended partition so that it takes up the rest of the disk. Then I can create 4gb swap and have the rest be FAT [05:27] ^ ^ [05:27] thought it was the same intel stuff [05:27] with bois [05:28] moses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors [05:28] rudi_, good luck hope it all works out ok [05:28] didn't work :( [05:28] searching for some good free themes for my new unity setup [05:28] only HD shows on the boot loader [05:28] Diana: You still cannot see the USB stick in the boot menu? [05:28] anyone has a link for some cool themes [05:29] arenis [05:29] Is Empathy a joke? I can't have it auto open a window? [05:29] go to the places area [05:29] and i think you can find it there [05:29] Diana, is this an Intel MAC or Power MAC? [05:29] bolt12, gnome-looks.org i think is the best site [05:29] Intel [05:29] it's a Macbook Air [05:29] latest gen [05:29] cool, ty Zelozelos [05:29] ok i think intel mac can't support ubuntu [05:29] Diana, you may want to check the BIOS to see if USB boot is enabled. [05:29] O.O [05:29] jason_562, for real? [05:29] how can I do that on a Mac? [05:29] most people stopped useing ppc mac [05:30] yup [05:30] thought it was the other way [05:30] the current mac can only support xp [05:30] darn, I cant remeber the name of the program I'm looking for :/ [05:30] Diana, is there any way to get to the BIOS, e.g. Press ESC or F10 or some other key on boot up? [05:30] software update is the only thing that may help Diana [05:30] no bios access, do macs even have a bios? [05:31] no [05:31] i guess then you should try ubuntu on virtualbox [05:31] maybe you might need to consult the IT [05:31] !mac [05:31] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [05:31] Diana, so if you wanted to change the boot order (e.g. HD, THEN CDROM), how would you do it? [05:31] thats the easy alternative [05:31] apn, it is totally my windows manager i dont think it understands i have 2 screens [05:32] you press c at boot [05:32] Diana why don;t you burn ubuntu on disk and try booting from disk [05:32] damn, I wanted an option for usb live ubuntu :( [05:32] hey it is in repo [05:32] does Air have a dvd rom O.o [05:32] hahahahahahahahahah [05:32] Macs can boot off USB... [05:32] bolt12: Airs have no cd/dvd drive === yofel_ is now known as yofel [05:32] damn [05:32] what kind of laptop is that [05:32] O.o [05:32] you people are funny [05:32] I repeat. Macs can boot off of USB. [05:32] << not a MAC user [05:33] Diana, from my experience with intel (PC) boxes, the BIOS allows certain controls like enable/disable USB boot, change boot order, etc. I would hope the same is available for an Intel MAC. [05:33] moses: after setting up 2 screens in nvidia-settings in twinview, try using gnome or kde monitor configuration tool to set it up again. [05:33] bolt12: Mac. MAC is something different. [05:33] yup [05:33] ok [05:33] magn3ts: how? [05:33] I don't remember [05:33] google? [05:33] on macs you have to install a firmware just to get a hardware cmd line [05:33] apn it doesnt even pick it up :( [05:33] very first google result: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 [05:33] That's ok [05:33] vaxinated: Last I checked, Apple hardware uses Intel processors [05:34] the new Mac is built on unix kernal right? [05:34] and are PCs [05:34] is there LX Terminal on your mac or command prompt if you use XP? [05:34] cool [05:34] tried that already [05:34] so technically it should run Mac [05:34] * rww shrugs, wanders back out [05:34] i mean run on Mac [05:34] it works with OS X usb sticks, but not with ubuntu [05:34] mac terminal in osx is for apps [05:34] Diana, idk, works for me. [05:34] you boot from the usb stick with ubuntu? [05:35] the USB stick should work with any interface [05:35] just curious why would anyone spend money on a Mac Air to put ubuntu on it [05:35] O.o [05:35] software update is the only thing that might help Diana [05:35] Diana: have you tried to set refit on your thumbstick? [05:35] maybe it's a Macbook Air issue then... [05:35] oidrg'e fgkrfh [05:35] [ r [05:35] gfk eklgerogip [05:35] didn't try refit [05:35] bj [05:35] hyj [05:35] frhju [05:35] jason_562: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:35] Diana, do you see the option to boot USB device in the BOOT menu? [05:35] b bm [05:35] nh njm [05:36] no such option vaxinated, in macs it's different [05:36] Trying to install phpmyadmin using Synaptic, a window "Debconf on T43" appears: "Configuring phpmyadmin. Webserver to reconfigure automatically. Please choose the web server that should be automatically configured to run phpMyAdmin: apache, lighttpd." What button do I need to assert? I do not intend to use apache. [05:36] Diana, mac boots completely different, so try it. [05:36] Diana, yes, I can choose to boot from USB and it works. [05:36] vaxinated: mac doesn't have bios [05:36] Diana, so how could you boot a MAC stick? [05:36] it has a boot loader vaxinated [05:36] macs also have a restriction to boot other oses so if you press c you may crash and get a black screen Diana [05:36] insert the stick into he prot [05:36] hi, i fairly recently installed ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop serving kinda like a htpc, and just noticed in the /home folder there's /home/netlogon and /home/pdf-documents, which I know I didn't explicitly create myself. Is something up? Or did some safe and normal process create it? I have a hunch it could be related to samba? [05:36] hiks hiks [05:36] neat [05:36] stick it [05:37] carnage1, what> [05:37] Diana, the boot loader has an option to pick the USB to boot from? [05:37] it only shows my ssd hd on the bootloader [05:37] it should [05:37] theres a restriction against macs using other oses [05:38] carnage1: on ubuntu website says it should work [05:38] well except XP [05:38] Diana: you have to replace EFI with rEFIt on you mac side [05:38] do they give you a terminal cmd Diana [05:38] sexcopter: Please use Standard English. This will increase chances for a satisfactory answer. [05:38] jason_562: FloodBot1 is not sentient. [05:38] Diana: Creating a LiveUSB for mac is difficult. If you want to use their BIOS implementation you can't boot from USB, if you want to use EFI there is a good chance the graphics drivers will fail. [05:38] damn [05:38] oh virtualbox works with mac [05:39] Diana: If you want to make a LiveCD make sure you use the +mac version (won't help at all with making a liveUSB). [05:39] would ubuntu run nice on virtualbox then? [05:39] carnage1, no there most certainly is not [05:39] yeah a cd would run on virtualbox [05:40] sexcopter: google says /home/netlogon is samba-related. Dunno about /home/pdf-documents... [05:40] no cd drive, but would it work from the downloaded iso? [05:40] Oh crap. I forgot, I use rEFIt. [05:40] yeah .iso [05:40] Jordan_U, any idea where I can read about the difference with the +mac iso? I'm curious. [05:41] Diana: Have you considered vmware-fusion? I run both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu in virtual machines on my Mac with it. Performance is superb and it works very well, although fusion is not free! [05:41] magn3ts: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image [05:41] Diana, the "Startup Manager" on your MAC does not show the USB drive as a possible boot device? [05:42] are you guys running the default windows manager that comes with ubuntu? [05:42] nope vaxinated [05:42] rob_p: you know if virtualbox would work too? [05:42] Diana, what kind of MAC (model) do you have>? [05:42] needed a free lightweight solution, that's why I thought liveUSB [05:42] MacBook Air [05:42] Diana: Actually, I'm in my virtualized Ubuntu right now as I type this! :) [05:43] http://thecrumb.com/2008/01/22/ubuntu-nvidia-and-two-monitors/ [05:43] Diana: It would. [05:43] Jordan_U, fantastic. very informative. thanks [05:43] Diana: I don't know if virtualbox has a version for mac. [05:43] magn3ts: You're welcome. [05:43] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.8/VirtualBox-4.0.8-71778-OSX.dmg [05:43] seems like so === ackt1c is now known as hoey [05:43] Diana: Looks like it! :) [05:44] Diana: Give it a go and see. [05:44] how come my ubuntu wont pick up my second display? [05:45] I'll go check it out first thing in the morning, gotta run now :) later guys [05:45] Diana, check this out: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-macbook-air-3-1-via-usb-flash-drive [05:45] I have a ubuntu server running on a box , however I want to save the whole installation as a reusable iso - is this possible easily? [05:46] thanks vax, will read it too [05:46] bbl :) [05:46] later D. [05:47] Trying to install phpmyadmin using Synaptic, a window "Debconf on T43" appears: "Configuring phpmyadmin. Webserver to reconfigure automatically. Please choose the web server that should be automatically configured to run phpMyAdmin: apache, lighttpd." What button do I need to assert? I do not intend to use apache. [05:48] bullgard4, what do you plan to use? [05:49] bullgard4: If you want phpMyAdmin, you *must* have some webserver software installed and running in order for the pages to be served up. So choose one. [05:49] magn3ts: mysql [05:49] bullgard4, I'm not going through this again. You don't know what you're doing and you're rude and uncooperative when I try to help. [05:50] bullgard4, you seem to not even understand the difference between a db server/client and an http server. [05:51] magn3ts: You call "rude" when I answer your question? Please re-consider your attitude. [05:51] bullgard4, no, I was here the other night when you were trying to figure out mysql and you were rude to me after I spent my time trying to help [05:52] bullgard4, mysql is not an http server. You will need to be running nginx, apache httpd, lighttpd, etc. [05:52] bullgard4: I'm not sure you know what phpMyAdmin is! [05:52] magn3ts & bullgard4: quit arguing and make up! [05:52] I would recommend nginx, but you won't be able to use the default phpmyadmin package sadly. [05:52] vaxinated, I'll try again :) [05:53] i made some power saving changes to the kernel and now will not even boot into the grub. [ctr]-[alt]-[F1 - F12] is dead. any ideas? [05:53] MethedMan: Does grub come up? [05:54] MethedMan: What changes did you make exactly? What happens when you boot holding shift? [05:54] MethedMan, it won't boot into grub? Grub and Linux are different. CTRL+ALT+f1-f12 woudn't be available during grub anyway. [05:54] MethedMan, it's unlikely that kernel changes alone would botch grub. [05:54] error 22 [05:54] vaxinated: grub does not come up [05:55] carnage1, that's usually due to part changes or messing with /boot [05:55] MethedMan, so what does happen when you try to boot the computer? === stephen is now known as Guest44338 [05:55] MethedMan: can you boot into a live cd? [05:56] MethedMan, you might give it a rest. I know this sounds crazy, as a CS student, I hate even saying it, but I've had times when grub wouldn't load and I had to turn my computer off and wait a few minutes and then it would go back to working. [05:56] goes straight to purple screen and then a blank screen [05:57] MethedMan, purple? the Ubuntu purple? [05:57] yes [05:57] If thats the case, grub is working fine. [05:57] Because it means Linux/Ubuntu is loading, which is performed by Grub. [05:57] holding down shift works, goes to grub, and then blank screen [05:57] MethedMan, when you say you changed stuff with the kernel... what do you mean? [05:57] I have a ubuntu server running on a box , however I want to save the whole installation as a reusable iso - is this possible easily? [05:57] MethedMan, did you change the kernel boot options within grub's configuration? [05:58] i did not touch the boot options [05:58] What did you change? === Jonathan__ is now known as KyubyLingus [05:59] is there a way to use itunes podcasts from ubuntu ? or is this another situation where apple is trying to make a walled garden around content ? === wongo888_ is now known as wongo888 [05:59] I just want to listen to a podcast.. all I see are links to itunes store formatted files [06:01] magn3ts: got it. [06:01] MethedMan, okay, congrats! [06:01] i use vlc-plugin for firefox in ubuntu 10.04, but I cannot see the mms video through internet ? is there any way ? [06:01] say for a moment that i unplug my sda and install win xp on my sdb1, then i replug my sda, so grub will load first, and it wont read the mbr of sdb, could i add up the winxp boot line to grub after that? [06:02] Soupermanito: Yes. Just run "sudo update-grub" and a menu entry for XP will be added automatically. [06:02] Hi! anybody there? [06:02] nope [06:02] mmm interesting, that way i wont lose grub [06:02] :p [06:03] gul: just a few! [06:03] <_marx_> 1600 or so [06:04] my external drive is mounting as read only and when i try to change the access rights it wont let me. any ideas?

[06:08] celthunder: didnt work [06:08] spritle: ok what's it say when you try and mount it with rw [06:09] celthunder: it mounted it, its just still read only [06:09] maby the file system is only to read for the O.S? [06:09] spritle: is it ntfs? do you have ntfs-3g installed [06:10] rob_p: this is the first time i am using xchat on Ubuntu. Previously on Mint and fedora. [06:10] celthunder: no [06:10] how do you zoom out on gedit [06:10] any tweaks for unity other than compiz? [06:10] gul: Ah, ok. I haven't used xchat since Ubuntu 4.04! [06:10] gul: xchat is pretty much universally the same [06:10] celthunder: by that i mean its not ntfs [06:10] what type is it [06:11] should i update my windows manager [06:11] celthunder: fat32 [06:11] spritle: lol ouch? [06:11] how do you zoom out on gedit [06:11] vanquish349: idk ...look in preferences [06:11] celthunder: i use it with my xbox 360, has to be fat32 [06:11] it isnt there [06:11] moses: which wm are you using? [06:11] gnome? [06:11] idk [06:11] vanquish349: how did you zoom in? [06:12] the standard one that comes with gnome [06:12] i mean ubuntu [06:12] moses: gnome has it's own wm [06:12] unity? idk i don't use either to be honest but i'd probably keep them up to date [06:12] git and svn ftw? [06:12] <_marx_> gvim [06:13] is there a free program that can parse an itunes link to let me listen to any free itunes podcast ? [06:13] celthunder: i dont know i just opend it to moddifie my pythonbot and it was zoomed in heaps far [06:13] vanquish349: set the font size smaller [06:13] vanquish349: i don't think that gedit even has it's own zoom in / out [06:13] <_marx_> thx celthunder low level bass [06:13] celthunder, yeah ill check i bet its unity, but it does seem to suck ass [06:13] what would you reccomend? === Tobias31 is now known as gustavoparedes [06:14] moses: xmonad === gustavoparedes is now known as Tobias31 [06:14] celthunder: ya! but i don't use ubuntu much. I usually go for Mandriva, Fedora and Mint. Ubuntu is too ODD and support Mono also...........but this time just for unity [06:14] its either this unity or my xserver thats not letting me run dual monitors properly [06:14] <_marx_> omg xmonad, hum [06:14] celthunder: i cant find out how to do that eiter [06:14] gul: i use arch..just idle and help here so i feel like i contribute [06:14] I like awesome a lil better than xmonad [06:14] does unity use mono [06:14] mrdeb: not likely [06:15] anything that uses mono should be thrown in the garbage [06:15] it's the equivalent of MSVC++ for linux [06:15] why [06:15] celthunder: I tried Arch a week back but after installation it hanged on 'loading bootloader......." [06:15] mrdeb: no [06:15] gul: lol if you still have it i'll help you fix it [06:15] gul: you install it wrong then [06:15] mrdeb: I am talking abt other softs like banshee etc. [06:16] i purge banshee. it is useless [06:16] uberjar: eh my configs in awesome kept breaking after update...i got the same xmonad on 3 diff installs and it works every time [06:16] Hi I am new to this Chat, I was woundering if anyone know is an Asus P8h67-M mother baord will work with Ubuntu 10.10 [06:16] mrdeb: indeed it is [06:16] howsthat: what's the rest of the hardware [06:16] celthunder: mrdeb: actually while installing bootloader it was shoeing two entries for my sdb(external hdd) [06:16] gul: yeah /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1? [06:16] Hi. If I messed up files inside my $HOME (dot files), I don't need to re-install ubuntu, right? I'm the only user account... my plan was to add a new user (myname2), then login as that user to delete my original user (myname), then re-add my original user (myname). Would that work? Would it populate the . files? [06:16] you install to sda [06:16] one the formatted partition the others the actual drive [06:16] and you put it on sda [06:17] celthunder: when i try to chown the drive it says operation is not permitted [06:17] manlymatt83: cp /etc/skel ~/ [06:17] The Intel H67 Chipset support on board graphics, so there is no graphics card as such, it will be a i5 2500K CPU, 4 Gb RAm 2 x 2 Tb hard disks [06:17] no no external hdd is sdb.............. and internal is sda .... but on boorloader installing it was showing two sdb . one before sda and other after it [06:17] celthundewr: but that doesn't seem to have the default directories like Downloads, Public, etc. [06:18] celthunder* rather: but that doesn't seem to have the default directories like Downloads, Public, etc. [06:18] manlymatt83: you don't need those you can make them as needed or whatever the **** made them in the first place will [06:18] Celthunder, I cant find anything by googling it [06:18] hi all, how can I make sure my installed version of mplayer and all codecs are 64 bit versions? [06:18] celthunder: OK, cool. I'm just annoyed because I moved them to different locations, but now things like Virtual Box is freaking out, and when I go to the Zeitgeist menu it says "Downloads" when they aren't actulaly downloads :) [06:19] chromium/firefox for example will make a Downloads folder when you first dl something [06:19] howsthat: it should work fine [06:19] How much memory should compiz be using when it first starts? [06:19] celthunder: Do you use the default locations? [06:19] TeamColtra: depends how many effects you have [06:19] Celthunder, you dont think there will be issues with the Intel graphics on teh H67 chipset? [06:19] TemColtra: depends on configuration. [06:20] celthunder / gul just a base install of Ubuntu [06:20] howsthat: i have a netbook with intel graphics...works fine the only graphics card i wouldnt TOUCH or go withi n1402194102 miles of with linux is ATI and that's because they FAIL [06:20] does anyone know if it's possible to listen to (supposidly free) itunes podcasts under linux ? All that software that supposidly lets you do it is now broken [06:20] ok fixed it [06:20] manlymatt83: i do for Downloads...idk why you'd need a public folder that's what you have unison/dropbox sync to servers for [06:20] Celthunder: Now thats funny as my experience is that Nvidia are cvery problamitical\ [06:20] uberjar: sure [06:20] TeamColtra: u can check it from system-moniter [06:21] TeamColtra: but why u want to know it [06:21] celthunder: ok thanks :) [06:21] because its using 65MB of RAM and bouncing between 0-10% of my CPU (on a 4GB RAM / Dual Core system) - gul I am looking at it in the monitor, but i have no baseline to know if its too high [06:21] howsthat: depends what you're doing to it...ati never updates nvidia at least cares a bit and the oss versions for nvidia are better than ati's [06:21] TeamColtra: ouch? sounds wrong [06:21] celthunder: could you tell me the name of a program that can do it ? pretty please [06:21] Ceilthuder: I have install quite a few copies of Ubuntu on ATI cards and tehy all work well, its Nvidia that are problamitical [06:21] TeamColtra: its too much............ [06:22] TeamColtra: something is wrong! [06:22] celthunder, it looked wrong to me :P thats why I was here to confirm. Is there any good "restart compiz" commands or is it just kill compiz and then restart it? [06:22] TeamColtra: idon't use compiz [06:22] celthunder: apple pushed a patch a few days ago that seems to break every program that claims to be able to parse itunes links [06:22] I could log out and log back in or restart x but those are annoying solutions. [06:23] TeamColtra / celthundr: nor me............it crashes unity on my system [06:23] uberjar: idk i don't dl itunes music but theres enough programs out there that do it one has to be updated to owrk [06:23] celthunder: none are. [06:23] celthunder: no no external hdd is sdb.............. and internal is sda .... but on boorloader installing it was showing two sdb . one before sda and other after it [06:23] songbird? [06:23] celthunder: apple pushed a change that obfuscates to a great degree the file format [06:24] I'll try that one and get back to you [06:24] celthunder: So all of these . files I have (.icons, .local, etc.) will be re-created? [06:24] celthunder: songbird is closed for linux [06:24] gul: yeah /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1? like that [06:24] celthunder: yes. [06:24] gul: like i said i don't use them lol i use mpd and ncmpd [06:24] celthunder: and i went for /dev/sdb [06:24] ahh yeah songbird is a no go [06:24] gul: that's what it's supposed to do [06:25] celthunder: but two entries for /dev/sdb ........... I think i should go for both of them.... [06:25] using ubuntu 11 -- is there a config for using a tablet laptop? [06:25] uberjar: but we have nightingale coming soon [06:25] uberjar: why do you want itunes music anyway they're all transcodes [06:26] gul: you're supposed to use /dev/sda for grub [06:26] celthunder: it's not music.. there's an interview with an author I want to listen to [06:26] celthunder: but i installed it on external hdd(sdb) .......... to make it portable [06:26] gul: yeah...arch isn't the systme you want to do that with [06:27] celthunder: even this ubuntu is on external one ........ [06:27] isn't there a way to break drm? I have some podcasts that are protected :( sometime I hate apple grr! [06:27] celthunder: Ok [06:27] someone needs to sue apple over this they are deceiving their users. apple claims that itunes lets you distribute podcasts that other people can download for free.. but thats not actually the case [06:27] gul: arch has 2 flaws...it doesn't include 8 billion drivers / etc (not a flaw as long as you don't port it everywhere it's an advantage) and it doesn't have package signing [06:27] THIS is much better than mint or fedora.............Its full and always busy nice to be here :) [06:28] I took notes in tomboy, and now I want to send them to someone who probably uses Windows via email. I'm trying to paste them into Yahoo mail, but it won't paste. What's wrong? [06:28] celthunder: ok! [06:28] gul: pm? [06:28] were talking pretty offtopic here but i want to continue convo [06:29] celthunder: no prob.............................. [06:29] excelsior, use pastebin, or just add as a attachment [06:29] excelsior: check clippers or whatever its called it adds anything you highlight to clipboard [06:30] I just figured out a workaround: pasted into gedit, and then copied and pasted from there to yahoo mail. I don't get the problem. [06:30] guys debian has firmware-realtek package, Ubuntu doesn't. Any ideas where I can get the realtek drivers? [06:31] grub install is failing /w 11.04 server... not quite sure what's up [06:31] Also chroot to the new target drive fails... it just locks up [06:31] thegoodcushion: search the debian online package lists and dl the .deb file and install it [06:31] thegoodcushion: dpkg -i <.deb> [06:31] ok [06:31] Anyone have any idea why I was having that problem? [06:33] highly techincal question, if anyone can help: How would I permanently set the permissions of a device, i.e. /dev/input/mouse0? Or permanently create a device, such as /dev/vcs0? (Symlinking /dev/vcs to /dev/vcs0 works, but only until reboot) [06:34] Surlent777: i believe the entire /dev contents is created on boot no? [06:34] celthunder: hence my problem [06:34] Surlent777: try doing a chroot and making it in there and making it non read/writable [06:34] Surlent777: though then it would literally be non usable [06:34] celthunder: I seem to think there was some sort of configuration file or another I remember hearing about but I'm having a hard time finding any information on it [06:34] Surlent777: can i ask why you need to do this? [06:35] celthunder: Well, with the /dev/input, making that readable by non-root users would enable SDL programs to work properly on the command line, and the bit about /dev/vcs0 is for the sake of a program called vcstime, which is hard-coded to look for /dev/vcs0 and which used to work in prior editions of Ubuntu [06:36] celthunder: by on the command line I mean in a tty/without X [06:36] Surlent777: ok well could probably make an init script to auto mod the devices on init 1/3 [06:36] celthunder: otherwise they work so long as I export SDL_NOMOUSE=1 [06:36] is 904 still a good distro to use [06:36] and yeah what else is a command line [06:37] celthunder: Some might mistake it for gnome-terminal or something, just being specific [06:37] mrdeb: if it works for you sure...though it's probably got 2 year old packages [06:37] Mrdeb: jaunty is dead and there is no support and zero updates for it [06:38] mrdeb: 10.04 is wonderfully solid and supported for another year if I remember right, being an LTS release [06:38] mrdeb: lucid is the earliest supported release and is LTS [06:38] Surlent777: you do ;-) [06:39] what's the deal with package firmware-realtek? Why can't I install the debian version on ubuntu? My NIC won't work without it [06:40] I tried to disable my ATI graphics driver, but apparently when I disabled it... it doesn't re-enable the Linux driver that it came with, how can I find that? [06:40] hi folks... running 10.04 LTS. trying to install an airlink wireless card awlh6075 ... but its not working as a plug & play card... what do i do next? [06:41] arooni-mobile: have you tried hooking up the computer via ethernet and using System > Admin > Restricted drivers? [06:41] arooni-mobile: find the chipset? [06:41] Surlent777, havent tried that [06:41] thegoodcushion: mixing debian debs in an ubuntu OS is not advised or supported and will most likely cause you packages issues [06:42] arooni-mobile: with most computers I've dealt with, that usually does the trick [06:42] ActionParsnip: so how do I get my NIC working [06:42] Surlent777, looks like official drivers are railink? [06:42] http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Airlink_AWLH6075 [06:43] arooni-mobile: I'm not sure that means much to me at this point, though if my suggestion doesn't work that will be worth noting if you try to hunt down the proper packages. [06:43] Surlent777, seems to solve it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1527810 [06:44] arooni-mobile: run: sudo lshw -C network use the product line to find guides. If it is USB based then run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [06:44] is there a way i can share my laptops wifi connection via the desktop? via a ethernet cable from my laptop => desktop ? [06:44] that way i can download the drivers & such [06:44] thegoodcushion: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware may do it [06:44] both computers are running 10.04 [06:45] !ics [06:45] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [06:45] hmm, I never think to try that [06:48] hey where is a good place to learn more shell scripting stuff? [06:48] Is anyone here running natty? [06:48] like i know the basics [06:48] uabn93: Here and my desktop [06:48] thegoodcushion: could also extract the deb and put the firmware file in /lib/firmware that way you get the file but don't have the debian package stinking up your packages [06:48] grundo: Try looking in Syantpic for abs-guide [06:48] uabn93: many do [06:48] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware says I'm already at the latest version. Mind, I am using 10.04 [06:48] kk [06:49] Grundo: i'd ask in #bash [06:49] how do i find out which railink drver to get [06:49] oh i didnt know XD [06:49] when you right click any icon on the top status bar does it look off and out of place? the text is ok but the lines in between the boxes are not where they belong. [06:49] arooni-mobile: is the device usb based? [06:49] ActionParsnip, nope pci [06:50] grundo: that package I mentioned is the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. It's a bit tl;dr perhaps but a wonderful resource [06:50] this problem happened after i upgraded [06:50] arooni-mobile: ok run: lspci and it will help identify itself [06:51] ActionParsnip, got it [06:51] thegoodcushion: extract the deb :) [06:52] can any of you check if that happens with you on 11.04? [06:52] well what good's that going to do? [06:52] ActionParsnip: [06:53] is there a way to easily share internet connection (from my 10.04 laptop connected over wifi => 10.04 desktop) thats easier than this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html [06:53] arooni-mobile: windows needs 3rd party apps to do the hardware ID. Linux is smart and can quiz the hardware and tell what it is :-) [06:53] i was hoping to share connection over ethernet cable from my laptop => desktop so that i can download drivers [06:53] ActionParsnip, its pretty amazing considering there is such horrible support from most manufacturers for linux [06:54] i'm happy there are people who figure out how to make the hardware work [06:54] in a gui sense [06:54] arooni-mobile: why not just skip the middle-man and plug in a cable from the non-connected computer to your router/modem? [06:54] Surlent777, cuz then i have to bring the pc upstairs [06:54] i'm being lazy [06:54] ah [06:55] thegoodcushion: you can put the firmware files in /lib/firmware so you get the file but the package info is not in the OS [06:55] after reading all that crap [06:55] probably faster to just hook it up to the router [06:55] arooni-mobile: realtek make great Linux drivers [06:56] question: getting this error on 11.04 :game/mania_drive.static: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [06:56] ActionParsnip, but i dont thinjk they are compatible with my card?

Addimg every possible module would bloat the OS a lot [07:02] i am also in the of what id like executable [07:02] widewake: okay, with the file in the desktop and after typing cd ~/Desktop, type "sudo chown yourusername:yourusername" replacing yourusername with whatever your user name is. [07:02] its a folder on my desktop [07:02] was wondering if there is a system reference page for ubuntu similar to this http://elibrary.fultus.com/technical/index.jsp?topic=/com.fultus.redhat.elinux3/manuals/rhel-rg-en-3/s1-boot-init-shutdown-sysv.html [07:03] gul: Oh. like in my case, the ralink wifi drivers were available online by the company, but i had to compile it myself. that left me wondering how drivers worked in linux. [07:03] should i be in /desktop& or desktop/folder$ ? [07:03] desktop$* [07:03] Bfig: yes as the app is 32bit so it needs 32bit libs. If you can get a 64bit one you won't need to [07:03] also how does one turn off the hardware, not only the driver, for wired and wireless network cards [07:04] hello? [07:04] widewake: you should be in ~/Desktop, or /home/yourusername/Desktop; both are equivalent [07:04] ActionParsnip, it's the only download available on the page so no... but what is a 'deb'? [07:04] #xserverx [07:04] ActionParsnip: So it is a problem with the ppl developing the modules for the kernel and not ubuntu if drivers don't work by default? [07:05] uabn93: right! and similar case with nvidia drivers and printers also [07:05] missing operand [07:05] anyone here from xserverx.com? [07:06] missing operand for sudo chown [07:06] widewake: again, move the JAR file onto your desktop, then in the terminal type "cd ~/Desktop". After that, type "sudo chown yourname:yourname filename.jar" [07:06] k [07:06] widewake: after doing that, you should be able to then type " [07:07] widewake: after doing that, you should be able to then type "chmod +x filename.jar" [07:07] k [07:07] Surlent777: instead of yourname, use $USER [07:07] gul: who are the ones that put the already working, default drivers in linux? its not the distro? [07:07] ActionParsnip: ...that would probably be a better idea. Thank you. === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [07:07] Surlent777: np :-) [07:08] Surlent777: sudo chown namename, chmod +x done [07:08] widewake: try running your jar file as you did previously. This should have solved your problem. [07:09] uabn93: i don't know exactly but LINUX is community projects.......... drivers are added from many developers and finally controlled and releaed ny LINUS [07:09] Surlent777: it has wont execute, and will not let to option execute it.. will try some things [07:10] uabn93: the kernel team, not just Linus [07:10] Surlent777: does folder access matter? they are all on access files [07:11] does linus do anything with linxu now [07:11] widewake: a JAR file should either execute or open as an archive...are you saying it's opening in the file browser? [07:11] i thought companies just did the kernel now [07:11] widewake: if you run: java ~/Desktop/filename.jar does it work? [07:11] ActionParsnip: right but kernal is still under the control of Linus ... the only thing which BSD people say they are more free in [07:11] i am pissed with ubuntu [07:11] why? [07:11] it keeps on freezing [07:11] vanquish349: using Compiz, by any chance? [07:12] seems to ne [07:12] my settings just randomly change [07:12] Surlent777: yes i am [07:12] Gul: true but he is part of the kernel team.. [07:12] Hi men! [07:12] vanquish349: It is ridiculously unstable in this release for some reason, notably if you change anything. Especially if you change anything. [07:12] ok [07:12] vanquish349: what video chip are you using? [07:13] Surlent777: could not find main class. also if i double click the folder will open with files [07:13] but should that explain why desktop icons dont show up [07:13] hello. can someone please help me get my mic working? [07:13] vanquish349: as for the desktop icons, sounds like Nautilus crashed. Try doing a killall nautilus in a terminal [07:13] ActionParsnip: i am fairly new to ubuntu how would i check that [07:13] I'll provide you with any info needed [07:14] ActionParsnip: ya!......... :) [07:14] 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) [07:14] Vanquish: press Alt+F2 and run: nautilus -k (might be -q) [07:15] its -q [07:15] Surlent777: didnt work [07:15] Vanquish: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga it will tell you [07:15] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [07:15] that is it [07:17] how do you remote desktop from one ubuntu machine to another? x11vnc + vinagre or what? [07:17] widewake the command he gave you to run the JAR file is incorrect. Try instead java -r filename.jar [07:17] err [07:17] widewake the command he gave you to run the JAR file is incorrect. Try instead java -jar filename.jar [07:18] k [07:18] Abnormal: on the ubuntu sound troubleshooting page there is an alsa-info script as part of a command.

Your OS can hold thousands of local users [07:20] ActionParsnip, fwiw, I have a sound out on gfx [07:21] widewake: yes, that would normally mean read-only. Your permissions tab should have it listed as Read and Write for you and your group [07:21] ok just logging out [07:21] !adduser [07:21] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [07:22] !sudo [07:22] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[07:23] my hdd's keep waking up from sleep. [07:23] how can i check why? [07:23] widewake: I think that's a visual glitch. It should still stick. To make sure, open that terminal, go back to the Desktop, and type ls -al. There will be a string of letters to the left of the jar's file name. [07:23] can i somehow log HDD actions?

[07:44] Surlent777: yes [07:46] this is bullshit [07:46] vanquish349: best I can think of at this point is try moving/deleting ~/.gnome2/gedit and see if forcing it to remake the files will help at all [07:47] !language | vanquish349 [07:47] vanquish349: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[08:08] for dns? [08:08] no dns [08:08] so everything is itanium only since 11.11? [08:08] Is there some guide to list server specific improvements in maveric and natty? Is there much difference aside from some updated packages? [08:08] whoops [08:08] i have my operators dns on all clients [08:09] id recommend following Dr_Heckle advice and checking first the default port list [08:09] you running ubuntu server? or rhel? [08:09] irreverant: ubuntu server [08:10] hey all [08:10] has the flash plugin for ubuntu firefox been fixed yet? [08:10] i messed up my grub loader :( [08:11] tried to follow the instructions here: http://www.linux.com/community/forums?func=view&id=4219&catid=18 to restore it, but still no luck [08:11] do i have to reinstall the whole system? [08:11] hi [08:11] penol: You're using pptpd or connecting to pptp server for VPN, I presume? [08:11] D0minat0r whats your current acl look like? [08:12] or if someone can point me to a manual on how to fix it i'd be very grateful [08:12] i don't want to reinstall everything :( [08:13] I want to install a flash player plugin for firefox without #shared-objects being symlinked to the root of my home folder. Is there a plugin that does not have this vuln? [08:13] well i was trying to point him in the right direction for iptable creation [08:14] Is having my mouse pointer be red taking a significant amount of resources? [08:14] how can i run kde? [08:15] irreverant: well at the moment i have default accept in because i cant get my rules to work [08:15] and it seems i forgot to save my rules when i did reboot :) [08:15] hmm [08:15] so all i havein iptables are the routing rules [08:15] static routes? [08:16] can you show me your network diagram? [08:17] modem (bridged) - Ubuntu server - client [08:17] how did you bridge your modem? [08:17] modem software [08:18] so its a hybrid modem? [08:18] so that my server handles the PPPoE [08:18] ok [08:18] the whole net works fine and is fast as long as i have default inbound accept [08:18] have you tested for packet loss? [08:18] i have done ICS from help.ubuntu.com [08:19] no i havent [08:19] well if your losing connectivity then your packets are either timing out or your getting loss. [08:19] D0minat0r: What are you trying to filter/block at the Ubuntu box? [08:20] rob_p: i want my server to drop everyting that isnt established from inside besides sshd and imapd [08:20] D0minat0r: So use iptables state module. [08:21] Is it possible to use wired and wireless networks at the same time? I want to connect a gadget with static IP with LAN, while still being connected to the internet on WLAN. [08:21] yes, but if he [08:21] D0minat0r: And then just add some static rules for inbound ssh and imap. [08:21] s blocking everything else then thats why hes getting slow connectivity because his rules are dropping packets [08:23] yes you can connect both wirelessly and with a wired connection [08:23] iptables is the only thing i just cant figure out on my server [08:23] since both interfaces are independent of each other. [08:23] gone form windows based system to only linux in a month so still a beginner :) [08:23] has anyone figured out how to get compiz window dragging performance back in 11.04? [08:24] D0minat0r: If you have your rules properly defined, then the NAT sessions will be stateful and therefore allow traffic regardless of the default policy (which is probably set to DROP in your situation). [08:25] how do you display current power consumption [08:25] preferable in the terminal [08:25] acpi -b [08:25] rob_p: i followed this guide for my ICS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [08:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:26] D0minat0r: But if you do modify the default policy, don't forget to specifically allow the services needed by the Ubuntu box itself. Again, stateful filtering works good there. [08:27] rob_p: i have opened the services i need and all works BUT when i set drop default then my http surfing goes slow from the clients [08:27] so all works but goes slow and i cant figure out that part [08:27] but he can accomplish this much better using a firewall with a router role and configure port fowarding === Flecks is now known as Fleck [08:29] hallow :) [08:29] draggle: that does not show the actual power consumption only remaining battery life in time and percentage of battery [08:29] ubuntu says that firefox 3.6 is the latest one .. how can I update to firefox 4 ? [08:30] did you try apt-get install firefox because thats what i did and got the same issue [08:30] D0minat0r: You can troubleshoot it in a couple of different ways. You could enable logging in your iptables ruleset and then look for dropped packets and see if you've overlooked something that needs to pass through, or you can do a packet dump (tcpdump works well for this) and monitor the traffic in real time. [08:30] im researching the same thing right now [08:30] !ff4 | VictorCL2 [08:30] VictorCL2: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Versions of Ubuntu before 11.04 do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [08:30] i am looking for a way to measure how much power i am currently using to gauge power saving based on my settings [08:30] VictorCL2: That's what I did to add the stable; it's been working flawlessly for me. [08:31] I will [08:31] guru1004_, on a laptop? or a desktop machine [08:31] hi all [08:31] on a laptop ferengee. trying to get 7+ hrs of battery life. [08:31] D0minat0r: Do your clients get DNS answers from your server, or do they query outside nameservers? [08:32] not sure if that makes any difference ferengee. seems like the code would be the same. i know windows 7 has an option to show current power consumption in kilowatt hours [08:32] rob_p: outside, from my operator [08:33] !search ubuntu [08:33] Found: repomirror-#kubuntu, ubuntuone, ops-#xubuntu-offtopic, gr, selinux, genii yadda ps3*, themes, ubuntutweak, ge, browsers and 1003 more, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=ubuntu [08:33] rob_p hes not running dns locally [08:33] is there a way i can detect keyboard use with bash? [08:33] yikes... good thing he knows better than to print all 1010 [08:34] did you make sure you configured your dsn servers in your server? [08:34] D0minat0r: When you test name resolution from a client machine, do you get long pauses? (use dig) [08:34] should I update to version 11 ? [08:34] because if you didnt then that would explain why your getting such long wait times for browsing [08:34] guru1004_, the most objective way to measure power consumption is to follow your battery drain on your laptop, or monitor the amount of power drawn from a wall outlet [08:35] rob_p: hard to tell now sitting outside the net and no client on the inside powered on :/ [08:35] D0minat0r: Sort of hard to troubleshoot unless you can reproduce the issue! :| [08:35] rob_p: i know...damn work [08:35] hehe [08:35] is ther any way to play .rmvb files in ubuntu 10.04? [08:36] HELP : is ther any way to play .rmvb files in ubuntu? [08:36] D0minat0r: Anyway, I'm guessing you have overlooked something that the server needs access to but is being blocked by your default policy. [08:37] D0minat0r let me ask you this, if you had a router configured with lets say primary and secondary dns server set to 67.x.x.x and your domain controller is running dns and it [08:37] guru1004_, i use powertop for tuning [08:37] s ip is set to 192.x.x.x and your having a problem associating a client with the domain controller why do you think that would happen? [08:37] of if you can answer rob_p? [08:38] and your trying to associate to server.local can you tell me why? [08:38] the clients wouldnt be registering with the domain? === dcg__ is now known as dcg [08:39] networking isnt my strong side, still learning [08:39] how bout you rob_p? [08:39] can I update ubuntu 10 to 11 ? [08:40] VictorCL2: If you've got 10.10, then yes, you can update to 11.04 [08:40] I have 10.04 [08:40] i can tell you why which is what i think is your problem. [08:40] VictorCL2: If you've got 10.04, you would need to upgrade to 10.10 first and then upgrade to 11.04. You can't upgrade directly from 10.04 to 11.04 [08:41] you have to set either in eth0 or the routers primary dns to the private network address of the domain controller 192.x.x.x === ruben is now known as Guest78687 [08:41] because the client will try using the current primary ip address which is a public address for srv records instead of the local domain ctonroller [08:42] so unless you direct the client to request the name service from the local domain controller its not going to find it out on the internet because its not there. so right now you getting issues i think with name resolution [08:42] irreverant: good idea to install bind on the server then? [08:42] yes. [08:43] ok thats what i figured out reading what you wrote :) [08:43] and set your primary dns servers to the ones from your provider or the gateway [08:43] ok [08:43] i will try with bind then tonight [08:44] irreverant: Sorry, I stepped away for a bit...I'm at work! :) [08:45] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. [08:45] ferengee: will i need to uninstall acpi to use powertop === william is now known as Guest98299 [08:45] so that your clients will make the request to the server and the server will then direct all the requests from the primary dns server that you configure in the hosts file [08:46] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. [08:46] irreverant: D0minat0r: No need to run your own namserver as long as you put the proper NAT/forwarding rules in place. === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [08:47] Hi there, when I go to run my win app, it says it is not marked as an executable, [08:47] wine** [08:47] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. But its not driver since I am in classic mode now. [08:48] D0minat0r: If you decide you want to provide name resolution from the Ubuntu box, consider using dnsmasq because it also provides dhcp services. Sort of a 2 birds with one stone type thing! :) [08:48] how would i run a command from a certain directory without having to "cd" to it? [08:48] Axsuul, use the path to it [08:49] axsuul: use export PATH="/home/abc" [08:49] Axsuul, like /usr/bin/firefox [08:49] rob_p: well i have DHCP already running on it [08:49] damn installed dhcp3-server from the beginning [08:49] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. But its not driver since I am in classic mode now. [08:49] D0minat0r: dnsmasq is *better*, hehe! :) [08:50] if you use wireshark you can see if your dropping packets somewhere [08:50] rob_p: hehe gonna see if i wanna go thru with the trouble changing my dhcp server tonight then :) [08:50] I need help [08:50] What!? no help? [08:50] desperately [08:50] D0minat0r: dnsmasq lets your Ubuntu box act like a conventional home router by providing dhcp and dns services to the client boxes. [08:51] Pirates of the Carribean 4 or Thor 3d - which should I go and see? [08:51] kbni, both [08:51] rob_p and that would help him out by making thigns easier for him [08:51] which is better? [08:51] I vote for both too [08:51] theres no need to be worrying about configuring acl/iptables unless your running an enterprise solution [08:51] D0minat0r: So with dnsmasq and some iptables magic, you have a linux-based router! :) [08:52] I would go with Thor since more sequels are often just remakes of previous ones [08:52] thanks perscitus [08:52] I've never been to a 3D film before [08:52] well it is routing now just not so secure at the moment hehe [08:52] get yourself a watchguard firewall [08:52] nor have i [08:52] I heard 3d is bullshit [08:52] or even tho someone would find a username the cant getin withouth my private rsa key [08:53] I dont want my movie experience tainted by some cocked-up fad [08:53] http://www.watchguard.com/?t=q3g&gclid=CKyYiOeC8agCFSUaQgodWlySDw [08:53] first thing i did was take away root login and set paswordless login with only rsa key [08:53] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. But its not driver since I am in classic mode now. [08:53] kbni: in the old days 3d was pretty ordinary, modern 3d can be spectacular, just look at the success of avatar [08:53] D0minat0r: You would be well served to get familiar with iptables if you really want to take command of your firewall/router. [08:53] fuck james cameron [08:53] rob_p: i want and thats why im trying iptables [08:54] if I sudo cp -R folder1 folder2, does it keep folder1's permissions? [08:54] D0minat0r, there is a graphical tool, fwbuilder which makes work with iptables much easier [08:54] i tired of not having full control, and i do this to learn handling router/gateway/server [08:54] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. But its not driver since I am in classic mode now. [08:55] Any command for mapping a site address to the corresponding ip address [08:55] ? [08:55] ? [08:55] sachin__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:55] hlp [08:55] perscitus, maybe the ati driver works not proberly and you have no 3d support now [08:55] xardas008, im not using ati driver. [08:55] D0minat0r: using iptables is a powerful tool but it requires practice. [08:56] jussi: Also use the -p switch to preserve file attributes. [08:56] time i have, no life atm hehe [08:56] just like setting up acls. [08:56] hi [08:56] ubuntu 11.04 is a piece of shit [08:56] then do what heckle said and get familiar with the ports to begin with [08:56] its the most unstable piece of shit ever [08:57] !bing | doggerz [08:57] doggerz: ban [08:57] fuck up [08:57] irreverant: one more question, why do i get samba connection reguests (denied) from outside my net even tho i have set samba to only listen to my internal eth1 and set samba allowed hosts [08:57] doggerz is right [08:57] how do you really feel doggerz [08:57] its crap man [08:57] ok i know they get denied because only internal ip addresses are allowed [08:58] ive had every other version [08:58] i like ubuntu 11.04 but i'm not a fan of unity [08:58] keeps reajusting the screen and shit [08:58] unity is a good idea [08:58] but it works like shit [08:58] doggerz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:58] what you expect by using a kernel? [08:58] considering you rewrote it from scratch [08:58] is it possible to get an rss feed or something for packages on my system that need upgrading? [08:59] this big black spot on my screen wont fuckoff [08:59] well whats your scope look like? [08:59] its all your fault [08:59] doggerz: There's no need to vent your frustrations with profanity! Let's keep the channel family friendly. :) [08:59] right [08:59] thats it [08:59] doggerz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:59] your ip scheme? [08:59] im installing mandriva [08:59] eekTheCat... you mean synaptic package manager? [08:59] and when you mean net do you mean your lan segment? [08:59] Unity is broken and won't start up. To be exact, Monitor goes to No Signal mode. And this is with OSS ATI driver. But its not driver since I am in classic mode now. [08:59] i'm still using lucid [09:00] D0minat0r and how did you configure the interfaces? [09:00] new2net, I don't think so. something I can view in a news reader. scan what's changed. if it's an important security update i launch a terminal and manually upgrade. if not I ignore it [09:01] not a news reader. i meant to say a feed aggregator. [09:01] D0minat0r? [09:01] maybe ill install ATI Drivers and see if its just OSS Driver and Unity thats broken [09:07] Is it just me that doesnt like the new ui in 11.04? === PhychoB is now known as PsychoB [09:07] how to install new linux kernel from the source code.. [09:07] ? [09:07] irreverant: yes [09:07] I've upgraded ubuntu from 10.14 to 11.04 and since then I can't access it - I dont see GRUB OS-chosing window at all - instead I get 'video mode not supported' on my monitor - what can I do about it ? [09:07] yabanize: nope === smuxi-user-jtayl is now known as jtaylor === evilmist is now known as mrmist [09:08] DirtyDawg, is there a waay to get it back to classic ubuntu [09:08] !classic | yabanize [09:08] yabanize: 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. [09:08] yes at the login screen, choose Ubuntu classic from the menu at the bottom [09:08] irreverant: sorry had to run a bit [09:08] you can choose the classic ubuntu on your startup screen [09:09] no worries. Im actually finishing up my bachelors in communications and network management [09:10] and have an AAS in Computer Science Network systems [09:10] is it strange that fdisk -l returns nothing in terminal? [09:11] irreverant: in smb.conf i have set up in [global] hosts allow = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0/24 [09:11] dusf: use sudo === diego is now known as Guest32494 [09:11] and i know that works as smb logs show all external ip addresses gets DENIED [09:11] ok... [09:12] so you have the loopback and cidr 24 [09:13] but all that would stop i would set my default inbound policy to drop which its now at the moment because of my problems, right? [09:13] Wait im sorry, i trying to understand what your typing. [09:14] hehe no problem as im beginner i might confuse things [09:14] here were all beginners... [09:14] well maybe not all. [09:15] D0minat0r: With the default policy set to DROP, you will need to specifically allow the ports required for smb protocol within your iptables rules. [09:15] that makes sense [09:15] rob_p: yes, and i dont even want samba to work form an external ip address [09:15] llutz: ty [09:15] D0minat0r: That's wise! :) [09:15] llutz: i'd assumed it would recommend using sudo if required [09:16] right now i have logs form external ip addresses tryingto reach samba shares but get denied [09:16] D0minat0r: Again, get familiar with iptables and you will be able to allow and block exactly what you want on whatever interface you desire! [09:16] dusf: yes, empty output is irritating [09:16] rob_p: i will, im so paranoid i have to so i can sleep at night :) [09:16] but im lost dont you want it to deny external access? [09:17] yes [09:17] just asked why i get reguests for shares from outside the internal net [09:18] i need to get off the oxy, i had surgery and this stuff really makes you dull or rather my brain dull. [09:18] didnt know that was possible to access windows shares from another net [09:18] cause people are always scanning for open ports [09:18] well that depends, are you talking about a diff subnet? [09:19] Nautilus shows the directory icons of /var/lib/gdm, /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/php5 together with an emblem "white skew cross". What does this white skew cross mean? [09:19] D0minat0r: it is possible, I've seen a lot such shares years ago in the uni network [09:19] irreverant: should be on completely different net as i get requests from jankara, turkey and im in sweden [09:19] so let say you have 192... and 172 subnets you saying that because your on two diff segments you wont be able to access a resource on the other segment? [09:20] aah my friend told me because my iptables isnt set to drop it answers on the smb port to see the ip address of the requests [09:20] no, theres no reason why just because their in a diff geo region you wnot get requests [09:21] hmm... if your not set to drop that request on that port then it will answer the request [09:22] all drop does it reads from a source and kills the packet from reaching the destination. [09:22] im gonna first set my iptables straight and see my net works good and see the logs after that [09:23] Port scanning is what your talking about [09:23] you ever heard of nmap? [09:23] ive heard of it... [09:24] nmap is a great tool!

[09:27] im not sure [09:27] aah i only have the icon in notification bar that blinks an ! when someone types to me [09:27] kflottorp: Gajim. [09:27] kflottorp: Sorry, I made a mistake. [09:27] !password [09:27] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [09:28] im new to ubuntu so im learning too but the best way i learn is by participating in answering questions, it requires research [09:28] I'll give some of them a try, thanks :) [09:28] bullgard4: Gajim is a Jabber client, not an IRC client [09:31] i'm having some really odd problems on Natty with power management / cpufreq on a dell precision m70. If I leave the power unplugged, my cpufreq scaling monitor happily shows me flicking between idle at 800mhz and busy at 2.2GHz... but if I plug in the power - (You'd think we wouldn't be worried about saving power then) - I am left stuck at 800Mhz permanantly ..... anyone got any clues or ideas on where to look / what to do ? [09:31] The thing I love about Unity is that I can have 40+ tabs in google chrome and still see the favicons of all tabs :) [09:31] Very useful [09:31] can you make a linux cluster ? [09:31] Hi I cant delete a partiton on my pen drive. I created the partition by usinng the dd command using an iso image as source [09:32] what about the ubuntuone client? [09:32] please give a command that will force delete the partition [09:33] html_inprogress http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/tags/Ubuntu-Cluster/ [09:33] that i remember reading about [09:33] new_kid1: use gparted [09:34] Hi! [09:34] is someone having problems installing ubuntu 11.04? [09:35] beouwolf clusters [09:35] pepeleches: post ur problem [09:36] I did. but received no response :( [09:36] html_inprogress does that help? [09:37] pepeleches: it is important a detailed description as how u did it like along with windows or single os like that and what error comes out.... [09:37] pepeleches: where did you? [09:39] mathews, szal: my problem ismy problem is I can not install because the installation cd will not start. The CD is not damaged, because in a virtual machine I installed ubuntu windows properly. [09:39] (sorry for my english :P) [09:39] people still use cd ... xD [09:40] pepeleeches, look in your bios see if it is set to boot from cd [09:40] is corel draw avaialable for linux? [09:41] Also can anyone tell me where the effects like the wobbily windows are in 11.04 [09:41] yabanize: yes, it stats booting, but in a moment it stops [09:41] pepeleches: something went wrong when burning to the disk. make sure you slow the speed down to 4x [09:41] tomek_: take gimp [09:42] So i want to know is there more people that prefer unity over the classic interface? [09:42] vice versa [09:42] mathews:what about 3d [09:42] pepeleches: at what speed did you burn the disk? [09:42] uabn93: 4x :S [09:42] yabanize: install compiz manager and select it from system [09:42] Nautilus shows the directory icons of /var/lib/gdm, /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/php5 together with an emblem "white skew cross". What does this white skew cross mean? [09:43] tomek_: search in software center [09:43] VictorCL2: (1) as long as the images won't run by themselves (i.e., you need something like unetbootin to make them run from a USB pen) it's easier to burn a CD; (2) there are still computers out there that don't boot from USB [09:43] has anyone here ever created a live cd on a sd card? or even a sd card that is mounted in a mobile windwos phone? [09:43] pepeleches: where did you download the iso from? [09:43] irreverant, i haven't but i dont see why it shouldnt work as its just like a usb stick [09:43] yes [09:43] uabn93: two pics from the halts: http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/396/17052011173.jpg , http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2444/17052011174.jpg [09:43] irreverant: sd card never be a live cd but can a start up disk [09:44] uabn93: from ubuntu.com main download page (html), and ubuntu.com alternate downloads page (torrent) [09:44] hello [09:44] Why not, Matthews.. [09:45] And yes ubuntu.com has very fast servers :P [09:45] mathews: why wont an sd card work? what if the phone acts as a usb drive and uses the sd card as a folder and not a drive. [09:45] can you alt tab between apps in unity? [09:45] pepeleches: after u download check the md5 of ur iso by rightclick and select the md5sum and compare it with that provided in the download page [09:45] irreverant: a cellphone is not a card reader; if you don't have one, buy one, they don't cost the world ^^ === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [09:45] frogzoo yes you can [09:45] irreverant: if you can set up the phone to act as a USB mass storage device, that should work [09:45] mathews: yes, md5 was tested and passed [09:45] pepeleches: did you do an md5 checksum just in case? [09:46] hurm...why my cpu easy to get 100%??? [09:46] let me explain it like this, i would like to use my cell phone as a live cd for a linux distro so that when im at a buddies comp i can use nix instead of windows./ [09:46] pepeleches: If you downloaded from torrent, you don't have to worry about this. [09:46] I want to know how kernel and CPU works, any suggestions? [09:46] irreverant: how could u connect a phone to ur system before it get booted? [09:46] irreverant: If you can get this phone to work as a USB drive, sure, just use unetbootin. [09:46] pepeleches: but i've had errors before when downloading from the ubuntu site [09:46] first checked MD5 to the *.iso, then to the burnt cd [09:47] szal: yes the phone can act as a usb mass storage device and treats the sd card as a folder not another independent storage device on any computer i connect it to. [09:47] Oh if it treats it as a folder then it wont work [09:47] hurm...why my cpu easy to get 100%??? [09:47] irreverant: ok, that complicates things [09:47] !repeat | darkacap [09:47] darkacap: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:47] pepeleches: what methos u selected for installation? do u have any windows os? [09:47] szal: see thats what i was wondering... [09:48] darkacap: Check the process list to see what eats up your CPU, and try closing Firefox :P [09:48] I find unity not multitasking friendly [09:48] If I get a low vcore voltage, will my system go down? Is there some logfile I can view on this? It a vcore voltage of +0.86 V acceptable? [09:48] pepeleches: does it at least get to the menu so you can do a disk check? [09:48] I find unity deinstalled [09:48] cant i just edit the live cd to mount the folder as a drive so that it boots from the folder? [09:49] uabn93: nope, it gets stuck before a menu apears [09:49] irreverant you probably could do that [09:49] might be hard though, depending on what format the sd card is [09:49] i believe fat 32 [09:50] or fat 16 [09:50] pepeleches: hmm, i cant help you w/ reading what's on the pictures you posted. I wonder if its your disk drive. [09:50] i dont know much, im just guessing it wouldnt work\ [09:50] but im not sure about the format thing, give it a go [09:50] i could format it for nfs [09:51] I have got two panics recently, is there a logfile for panics? [09:51] irreverant: FAT, FAT32 and ext2 should work for a LiveCD-like boot partition if you're using Unetbootin. [09:51] uabn93: ok, thanks anyway... I will try to instal 10.11, and then upgrade to 11.04 [09:51] pepeleches: hey, have you tried usb? [09:51] ok i [09:52] anli_: It's some of the /var/log/kernel.log.* files, I think [09:52] ll look up unetbootin [09:52] uabn93: not yet [09:52] Smuxi vs Xchat? [09:52] hi [09:52] uabn93: goin' to try :) [09:52] Hi meteor [09:52] pepeleches: that method must work. Plus, its less of a hassle than upgrading from 10.10 [09:53] Hey ive got a 500gb ntfs drive i want to install linux on. Whats the best way to give linux a 32gb partition without reformatting? [09:53] ShaunDreclin: Use GParted (present on our CDs) to resize the existing partition. [09:53] /var/log/kern.log is spammed with "May 17 14:04:27 sysname kernel: [174882.650522] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link up" lines [09:53] if your running windows 7 you can just do it from the drive management mmc [09:54] pepeleches: run the live cd and select the start up disk creator and make it and run it and try ..better than a live cd [09:54] ShaunDreclin: how many partitions are currently present on the drive? [09:54] Winxp, and i dont have a working disc drive. Is gparted included in the datastick version? [09:54] Just one partition, ntfs [09:54] Nautilus shows the directory icons of /var/lib/gdm, /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/php5 together with an emblem "white skew cross". What does this white skew cross mean? [09:54] ShaunDreclin: Get EASEUS Partition Master, then. [09:54] ShaunDreclin: And use that to resize [09:54] I've upgraded ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and after that I cant see my grub ('video mode not supported') - I am running liveCD, and trying to edit grub configuration, but I can't see menu.lst where it should be - how can I generate a new one ? [09:54] Thanks :D [09:55] temp: There are no more menu.lst's for a long time [09:55] temp: It's /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:55] mathews: doing rhigt now :) in a while i will re-log to the irc [09:55] ShaunDreclin: how are you going to install linux w out a drive then? [09:55] pepeleches: all the best of luck [09:56] theadmin: : when I try to edit grub.cfg I see "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE", it has been generated using templates... what should I do then ? [09:56] uabn93: USB stick, booting the ISO directly, using VirtualBox with a real drive as a host HD... [09:56] temp: you edit /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" after [09:56] temp: /etc/default/grub, AFAIR [09:56] temp: run a live cd and copy ur data to an external disk and try a clean install than upgrade [09:56] hi. can someone who has skype tell me the version string 'skype --version' ? [09:57] kern.log does not contain anything about the panic, the spam flood about eth0 is just ended (in 22.01 yesterday) [09:57] Uabn93: datastick [09:57] mathews: if doesn't work, i'll do the 10.11 -> 11.04 install/upgrade ;) but i will come to tell my experience :) [09:57] Then I can read new entries about the startup this morning [09:57] hmm, why is grub so tied to linux ? I even specifically separated hd partition to /boot - why do I have to edit grub options on the other one ? [09:57] anli_: Hm... Not sure what it is on Ubuntu, bot here I have /var/log/kernel.log.1 and /var/log/kernel.log.2 [09:57] No panic.log in my system [09:57] only kern.log === llama is now known as Guest89987 [09:57] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J5vldQBKxU&feature=fvsr [09:57] Hi, I did an update the other day, and now for some reason my SAMBA shares are screwing up from my client. Like it doesn't load, or sometimes it will load for a second and then hang. And also sometimes the web won't work, or like on page will work but I can't load another page. Doesn't matter if I change browser either. [09:57] anli_: Okay, no idea then [09:58] pepeleches: i think u win the match [09:58] ok [09:58] temp: /boot is not where your boot record is. what is the problem? [09:58] theadmin: i never knew you could do that w/ virtualbox [09:58] hi [09:58] oktay: there probably is no problem, just curious why the options werent on /boot [09:58] uabn93: VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -filename lol.vdi [09:58] I get the impression that no log is created on a kernel panic [09:59] I'm getting unrar fail when trying to unrar folders that contain accents (for example: á) in their names. Any thoughts what can I do? [09:59] temp: grub is something i don't mess with as long as it's working :) [09:59] when you do have to mess with it, it's not pretty [09:59] Bulk rename them novitololo [09:59] I just have the .rar file [09:59] yeah, I followed the same policy, but ubuntu upgrade made it not work [09:59] can I rename them from the inside? [10:00] temp: did the disk UUIDs change? [10:00] nope [10:00] temp: try it as upgrade creates hassles [10:00] Hint: don't use /dev/disk/by-uuid/, it's not pretty, use by-label. [10:00] JohnT could you be a little bit more specific? [10:01] i am using xsane for the first time, I am scanning an important document, I need it to be high res, which file format should I save it to, the default is pnm? [10:01] When i try to connect my phone (Nokia N900) with usb to ubuntu 11.04 tethering doesn't work because when i try to make the connection it immediately disconnects, need help [10:01] How do i turn on more of the effects, like the wobbily windows (it used to be called extra in display options) [10:01] i'll try, thanks for the tip - what I suspect right now is that new ubuntu 11.04 uses newer version of grub than 10.04, and it made it mess up [10:01] I seem to have a problem with my Ubuntu 10.04 installation - The speakers of my laptop don't give a sound, while any plugged in speaker/headphones will, so the sound card seems unaffected. However, sound works in 10.10 and up, but I don't want to use those as they can't properly read the charge data of my battery- [10:01] yabanize: You need simple-ccsm [10:02] temp: I think you're right about GRUB, it did upgrade grub during my OS upgrade from 10.04 [10:02] Hi, I did an update the other day, and now for some reason my SAMBA shares are screwing up from my client. Like it doesn't load, or sometimes it will load for a second and then hang. And also sometimes the web won't work, or like on page will work but I can't load another page. Doesn't matter if I change browser either. [10:02] So older versions didnt need it, theadmin [10:02] guest89987: select the "sound" from the menu and check the volume is muted or not [10:02] it isn't ;) That'd be too easy [10:03] yabanize: Who knows, it could just no longer come as default xd [10:03] it's on full fling, yet does not give a beep. [10:03] guest89987: run the "additional drivers: from system [10:03] Wow, I had like 3 flash upgrades during recent weeks, did they finally decide to make it work? xD [10:03] I clicked install and it came up with :Package dependencies cannot be resolved [10:04] yabanize: Ugh. Also try it with compizconfig-settings-manager, but I can't really help you more since Ubuntu people love to mess their repositories up :/ [10:05] I'm surprised grub is so tied to linux, to the point when it uses options from other partitions and can be updated by it unknowingly to the user. I wont troll, but I used to blame windows for overwriting boot sector. [10:05] Only shows GPU and WiFi card. As I've said, the sound card itself seems to work properly, it works with plugged in devices (Headphones), but not with the speakers of the laptop itself. [10:05] yabanize: I also think the latest Ubuntu doesn't actually use Compiz anymore [10:05] i did this: http://anidel.blogspot.com/2009/10/n900-as-modem-for-ubuntu-910.html but connection isnt being established ! :( [10:06] temp: It's not GRUB's fault, it's how it's made in Ubuntu :D [10:06] temp: Here on Arch, everything GRUB-related *is* under /boot/grub. [10:06] temp: grub is what linux installs as a boot loader. you can use another bootloader that is more tied into windows if you like [10:06] guest89987: look any related post in ubuntu launchpad or www.askubuntu.com [10:06] theadmin: what? It does use Compiz. I solved a frame rate issue on my ATI Radeon laptop by unselecting 'sync to vblank' inside CompizConfig settings manager. [10:06] Guest89987: what about sound preferences>hardware tab> then changing the profile tab. [10:07] I see, ok thanks for all the answers. [10:07] somebody post their skype version pretty please [10:07] theadmin: it more clear in gnome or ubuntu with no effects [10:07] theadmin: thanks that worked [10:08] hay guys any one tell abt music composer [10:08] mathews, ashesh: Well, I'm an Arch+KDE user so I dunno how Ubuntu, Gnome and Compiz are really doing these days. Still do try to help though [10:08] Guest89987: I meant changing the profile section to the device you have. try using different options. [10:08] nothing there either. All switched on :-/ A real mystery, that. It works with newer versions, so it HAS to be some form of software issue. :O [10:08] oktay: skype 2.2 [10:09] Yeah, checked that. Does not change anything [10:09] theadmin: hmmm, after the latest GNOME release and to be very honest the mess Ubuntu Unity is right now, KDE/XFCE make more sense to me [10:09] mathews: 2.2.0.25 ? 'skype --version' [10:09] ashesh: GNOME 3 was so damn weird o.O [10:09] theadmin: I switched immediately to XFCE after my upgrade. [10:09] theadmin: navigation is a PIA! [10:09] Guest89987: you said your headphones worked? [10:09] xfce4/xmonad here [10:09] < [10:09] yeah [10:09] i am not jumping on the gnome shell / unity bandwagon [10:10] oktay: 2.1.0.81-1 (skype [10:10] hi ^^ [10:10] ashesh: I think that's offtopic here, so let's switch to PM, shall we :D [10:10] mathews: thanks ! [10:10] Headphones, external speakers, even the TV speakers when hooking it up to a TV with split screen [10:10] ermm...my cpu becomes very hot...does someone know why it is happened? [10:10] oktay: if u try from software center this is the version or u can add the PPA for it if u want latest version [10:11] mathews: thanks. i don't have access to my ubuntu now. comparing with arch. [10:11] darkacap : Maybe it constantly runs at maximum core clock, that might make it overheat. [10:11] darkacap:check ur fan working well [10:11] theadmin: sure :-) [10:11] Actually, what does Ubuntu use in place of good old /etc/init.d/ these days? [10:12] mathews: my fan is working...and i can hear the fan's spin... [10:12] Guest89987: thats strange. I had that same problem and messing with profile section fixed it for me. [10:12] hi, does anyone experience that the "over menu bar" disappear in every window u have open? [10:13] guest89987: how to solve the problem? [10:13] darkacap: There's a panel applet that lets you control the several core clocking stages of your CPU - see if it's permanently at 100% [10:13] guest89987: ermmm...can you show me how to open the applet...sorry...im new to ubuntu... [10:13] uabn93: Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me :/ But that's a start, anyhow. [10:14] oktay: Another arch user huh? I seem to be not alone xD [10:14] new install. 2-3 days [10:14] i like it so far [10:14] i also have mint debian [10:14] darkacap: right click on the top panel bar, hit "Add to panel" and select the "CPU frequency scaling monitor" [10:15] oktay: Mint is yummy, but Arch is the best for my rather slow system [10:15] oktay: It seems that stuff slows down on other distros cause of their awkward package management. [10:16] Guest89987: most of the time, google is a better friend than irc in some situations. [10:16] Hey guys.. My HDMI audio (NVIDIA) isn't working for me.. No system audio at all [10:16] I've done aplay -l to find the devices [10:16] It shows 4 nvidia devices (3,7,8,9) [10:16] So I tested, and aplay -D plughw:1,7 im.wav gave me sound [10:16] theadmin: they are a bit more polished though. don't have to deal with assigning default apps and litlte stuff like that [10:16] But how do I config ubuntu (10.04) to use that device? [10:16] oktay: I like configuring everything manually. [10:16] uabn93: Normally, yes. But putting in "CQ56 Ubuntu sound issues" only leads me to countless shop sites with written reviews :D [10:17] theadmin: i do too. and i will do it once then keep rolling rolling [10:17] oktay: Speaking of rolling, rolling releases ftw xD Anyway, let's switch to PM [10:17] * oktay blushes [10:17] darkacap: found it? [10:18] oktay: ? [10:18] theadmin, oktay: #archlinux exists :P [10:18] guest89987: nope...i cannot find 'add to panel' [10:18] No one to help? [10:18] szal: Also a support channel, and #archlinux-offtopic is meh [10:19] :) [10:19] theadmin: try #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [10:19] darkacap: the panels are the top and bottom bars, similar to the Start-bar on Windows [10:19] Guest89987: my last suggestion would be to try the #linux channel. great ppl there. [10:19] szal: Isn't it a channel where they all speak about aliens and conspirancy theories? [10:19] theadmin: no idea, haven't been there much [10:19] darkacap: You right click on those, which gives you the option to "add to panel" [10:19] theadmin: my favourite Linux distro offtopic channel is #opensuse-chat [10:20] szal: Hm, thanks, I also used to be a SUSE fan earlier [10:21] darkacap: working now? [10:22] is there a command to turn off the ethernet card (eth0) ? [10:23] ifconfig -eth0 down? [10:23] mark7845: or do you want to disable it at the hardware level? [10:24] the volume control is not working properly .. on 10.04 ..when I click the , when I move the white circle to raise or lower the volume .. it skips to the right .. raising the volumeee :/ [10:24] r04s3ck5: was that answer for me? i want to disable at the hardware level. [10:24] is like not detecting correctly the mouse pointer [10:25] guru1004_: hmm not sure on that one. You may be able to turn it off in the BIOS if you're lucky. [10:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10830940#post10830940 can you help me? === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [10:26] i saw the command for wireless -> iwconfig wlan0 power off [10:26] r0fs3ck5 -> yeah don't want to disable it in the bios, but that is certainly better than nothing [10:28] guest89987: when i right click the bar...nothing comes out [10:29] guru1004_: try sudo ifconfig wth0 power off. [10:29] r0fs3ck5: I'm not sure if your device, motherboard or kernel supports it, but give it a go. [10:30] is the windows manager the thing that shows the monitors? [10:30] eth0 rather [10:30] the monitor preferences [10:30] whats that done through? [10:30] ? [10:30] my monitor preferences only show 1 monitor [10:31] What to do in order to make Sun Java work in Firefox/Opera, etc? I need this to use online bank. [10:32] guru1004_: you probably have to blacklist your eth0 device with in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. iwconfig is only for wifi devices and the option 'power' is the power managment of a wifi device... [10:33] darkacap, ? [10:33] Hi all, is there a way to bridge wlan0 and eth0 in 11.04? [10:33] 1. What is the impact of too many TIME_WAIT connections on the performace of a web server (with huge number of short-lived connections)? 2. What is the impact of increasing tcp_max_syn_backlog kernel setting? [10:33] brctl does not allow wlan0 to be added [10:34] moses: windows manager??? [10:36] darkacap, i cant get programs to go from my left monitor to my right [10:36] it just hits a wall at the edge of my left monitor [10:36] but both are on [10:36] and i can move the mouse to them both [10:37] any ideas? [10:37] moses: sorry...im new to ubuntu...^_^ [10:38] ....why my cpu always above 13%..or is it normal??? [10:38] can someone answer it...^_^ [10:40] hurmmm === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [10:43] darkacap: So you got the applet working? It shows activity higher than 13% permanently? [10:43] darkacap: Could you verify that in a console with 'top'. The gnome-system-monitor will use most of your 'idle' cpu usage. Press '1' in top, if you have multiple CPU. === sony is now known as Guest95765 [10:44] guest89987: i open the system monitor...and it shows cpu 13%(minimum) [10:45] minimec: i have single cpu only [10:45] darkacap: So just 'top in a console... [10:45] hello [10:45] darkacap: top [10:46] ok guys and girls, i was playing about with my ubuntu 11.04 server (upgraded from 1010) and i installed ubuntu-desktop using apt-get,i thought it would be as easy as apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop but that just removes 1 16kb file, any ideas? [10:46] darkacap: That's the CPU usage, not the frequency. 13% is probably normal depending on what sort of CPU you use, considering you're using IRC right now [10:46] sorry wrote that wrong [10:46] i now wish to remove ubuntu-desktop [10:47] Window gadgets sometimes don't work and the ones of the window in the back get clicked instead (ubuntu 11.04/64 bit, using gnome classic). Any ideas? [10:47] minimec: ok [10:49] rayvtrix: what u mean by ubuntu-desktop [10:50] anyone know why my monitor preferences wont pick up my second monitor === Timic_ is now known as Timic [10:51] Hi all, is there a way to bridge wlan0 and eth0 in 11.04? [10:51] guest89987: owh...i see... [10:51] brctl does not allow wlan0 to be added [10:51] i was running ubuntu server, and i saw that you could install ubuntu desktop with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , so i did to try it :s thinking it would be as simple as apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktp to get rid of it [10:52] but that only gets rid of a 64kb sized file [10:52] guest89987: by the way....when i want to scroll down in the firefox...it scrolls very slow...why? [10:53] guest89987: especially when i open youtube... [10:54] darkacap: could it be that your Graphics adapter has no driver installed, so the CPU has to take care of everything? [10:54] what I experience when scrolling down firefox is that the window hangs for a while, then the scrolling is performed [10:54] guest89987: ermm...so how to solve it? [10:55] check that at "System>Administration>Hardware drivers". This shows you the available third-party drivers [10:55] anyone know how to get dual monitors to work with an nvidia card? [10:56] top [10:56] rayvtrix: i think there no desktop for server edition. try type gdm and look what happends [10:56] moses: Is multimonitoring turned on in the driver menu? Sometimes it does not register straight away by itself [10:57] mathews: erm wel i managed to install one lol [10:57] Anyone know of any network monitor software. To be used like a dashboard to monitor PING,SNMP etc all the time and aleart via email or GUI when required. [10:57] guest89987: is it under control center>hardware>additional drivers?? [10:58] rayvtrix: see the ubuntu documenatation for server edition,I think there no way [10:58] Hello, i've been experiencing a lot of CPU spikes and stalls using a fresh install of Natty in a duo core 2.2 with 4 GiB and ssd. In specific i see that XOrg (in top) consumes a lot of CPU power all the time. Any hints?

[11:00] Does it have to do with graphics drivers? [11:00] guest89987: mobile intel graphic media accelerator x3100 [11:00] Alright then, no wonder it's empty. But that also means it works and does not explain your slow page buildup.

[11:23] does anyone her use epsxe? [11:23] here* [11:24] alex88[nb], PM? [11:24] arvat: if you want a light option, try Xubuntu (XFce) or Lubuntu (LXDE) [11:24] infobit: PM? [11:25] whats the short cut to show the desktop [11:25] in ubuntu 11.04 [11:25] using powertop and was told: Enable USB autosuspend for non-input devices. How does one do that? [11:26] szal you do not understand, i want the functionallity of kde but lightness of gnome [11:27] arvat: Gnome light? are you kidding? [11:27] Gnome is no lighter than KDE [11:28] also, if you want KDE, use KDE.. features come at a payload, that's how it is [11:28] szal: i meen the simplicity of gnome [11:28] arvat: just install both window managers and have fun [11:28] arvat, the use kde 3.4 or some older version kde than 4.0 something [11:29] "simplicity" is highly subjective.. for me, e.g., Gnome just doesn't fit the bill, I don't find my way around it, plus it lacks some features [11:29] infobit: KDE3 is dead [11:29] kde4 or unity? [11:30] xfce must be realy popular now [11:31] hello guys I am using the ubuntu tweak on ubuntu 11.04 [11:31] but the convert image to JPG is not working [11:31] arvut, kde 4 also try unity [11:31] any possible solutions?

The RestrictedFormats page seems a little out of date on the topic. [11:33] szal: previously it used to make another file of the JPG format on its own on 10.10 . But now nothing happens [11:33] Hello World [11:37] i just got my tascam us122 set up and everything's working great except for one thing, there's no sound in flash (i'm assuming that's what google chrome uses to play youtube videos). does anyone know about this?

[11:43] install [11:43] moses: i don't quite understand the question.. i just followed the instructions without quite understanding what i was doing and it worked. do you have a more specific question? [11:44] where did you extract the tarbul [11:44] the tar file [11:44] k just a sec [11:44] hello, i have big problem with ext4, after try to resise this, i have: http://pastebin.com/TP33VNim [11:45] moses: if you read the first link i sent you carefully, you will undersand it. what you are asking is step 6 [11:45] hi there [11:45] moses: sorry, step 4 [11:45] where can i learn terminal commands?

[11:51] I'm trying to give a user the possibility to run apt-get without sudo, how can I manage to do that? Thx :) [11:52] I managed to get rid of those naughty lvm vg partitions. booted into the livecd and erased them from there. couldn't do it from the textbased install.. [11:52] I'm not sure what I think of unity yet.. I do like gnome a lot tho. [11:53] maybe someone here can answer my question: how do i fix no sound in flash if everything else is working ok? i'm using ubuntu 11.04 and chrome [11:53] abys, if i may ask, what's wrong with sudo? [11:53] abys: you will need to use sudo, but you can configure it so that sudo only allows them access to apt-get [11:53] might give that xfce a try after all. is it seletable from the login screen after I've installed ubuntu 11.04? [11:54] SudoKing I need to authenticate to a proxy and root is not part of the domain, so I can't authenticate with sudo.... [11:54] Hello there.

Apart from it, when i look into my /etc dir i find rc0.1, rc1.d and many more.A brief explaination would be great.

What have you against it? [12:05] rob_p if I use sudo it use the user root which is not part os the domain. My proxy authenticate with domain users so it's why I have to launch the command with a domain user... [12:07] abys, can you place it behind an apt-cache server running as a domain user? [12:08] awells what do you mean? Tell me more about that :) [12:10] what is the best subversion client .. similar to tortoise in windows .. but for ubuntu? [12:11] VictorCL2: collabnet subversion works in ubuntu [12:12] awells I have to go to lunch, if you could PM me and I catch you back with a full belly? :) Thx man [12:13] abys, no problem [12:13] does anyone know why i'm not getting sound in flash? or why xchat closes when i go to the ##flash channel? [12:17] how can i install sqlite3 for python2.5? [12:17] on 11.04 [12:18] Cube``: apt-cache search -n python sqlite [12:19] jrib: yes ofc there is python-sqlite3, but im looking for sqlite3 for python*2-5* [12:19] 2.5 [12:19] not 2.7 [12:20] Cube``: how did you install python 2.5? [12:20] hi together, upgraded to 11.04 yesterday and have crashes of kernel + unity all the time since. Try to switch to gnome-panel now. In System Settings=>Login Screen=>Default Session I switch to "Ubuntu Classic". Reboot. It still boots into Unity (and not gdm). Any Ideas ? [12:20] Phil_Ewert: your installation is borked [12:20] If I update against natty-security on archive.ubuntu.com, is there any reason to still update against natty-security on security.ubuntu.com? [12:21] thegoodcushion, what does borked mean ? [12:21] broken ? [12:21] rooted [12:21] kaput [12:21] uh oh spaghetti-o [12:21] yes, broken [12:21] correct spelling would be "b0rked" -> l33tsp34k for "broken" [12:22] ;) [12:22] thegoodcushion, hmmm, upgrade went fine and fast without errors [12:22] Phil_Ewert: I hear you, but it's obviously broken [12:22] thegoodcushion, ok, yes and it cant be fixed ? [12:23] just reinstall it [12:23] thegoodcushion, thats not good advice [12:23] Phil_Ewert, try to start up in recovery mode [12:24] bazhang, what would you suggest ? [12:24] allright [12:24] Is it possible to create a launcher for rdesktop in desktop ? [12:24] will try that [12:25] karthick87, right click create launcher [12:26] im having trouble executing opengl progms any help?? [12:27] ? [12:27] I just installed realtek firmware on 10.04. How do I tell whether or not it's being used? My NIC is still not working? [12:27] garu01: you should be more specific [12:27] thegoodcushion, installed how [12:27] bazhang: from the website, as a sh script [12:28] jrib Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [12:28] freeglut (./a.out): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0' [12:28] i get that when i use the ./a.out [12:28] garu01: you have installed theproper 3d drvers for your video card? [12:28] garu01: what video driver? [12:29] jrib ubuntu automatically installed all drivers for me [12:29] garu01: and your video chipset is what? [12:29] nvidia geforce 540 m [12:30] !info aptitude [12:30] aptitude (source: aptitude): terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.3-3.2ubuntu1 (natty), package size 2277 kB, installed size 7000 kB [12:31] garu01: you may want to run the addational drivers tool and see if there are some better drivers for the card. [12:31] *wonders why aptitude isn't installed by default anymore* [12:31] arvut, disk space [12:31] arvut: precious space on the cd [12:31] meh.. [12:31] arvut: disk size and lack of people needing it. [12:31] Dr_Willis: i have the additional drivers installed also [12:31] * jrib NEEDS it :P [12:31] guys help me out please :( http://paste.pocoo.org/show/391135/ [12:31] garu01: run the nvidia-settings tool to see if its actuallybeing used. [12:32] what am i missing? [12:32] Dr_Willis: im kinda new to this linux environment.. how exactly do i do that [12:32] Cube``: you could summarize the problem. [12:32] Cube``: you never answered my question (how did you install python 2.5?). And in your pastebin, you don't give any context as to what you are doing/trying to accomplish [12:32] gardar: its in themenus some where. or run 'nvidia-settings' from a terminal [12:33] is there a way to configure unity to have the file menus on the actual window instead of up there at the taskbar like OSX does? [12:33] Dr_Willis: jrib: im trying to compile python2.5 on ubuntu 11.04 so i can get web2py to work with google app engine. [12:33] arvut: you can disable/tweak the 'global menu' settings so it can have them in the window.. or in both i recall. [12:33] Dr_Willis: ou do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [12:33] what is the command to get pass to the new version to ubuntu from an older??? [12:34] laumonier: you want to upgrade to a new ubuntu release? [12:34] garu01: that would be the root of the problem then. [12:34] Dr_Willis: jrib: basically im missing sqlite3 support for python2.5. i got python2.5 installed from a PPA, but it doesnt have sqlite3 [12:34] yes [12:34] Dr_Willis: how do i solve this problem [12:34] new release [12:34] 11.4 [12:34] I dislike these mac clone modifications that has been done to ubuntu. first the close/minimize/maximize buttons and now this [12:34] Cube``: if you have python 2.5, why are you compiling it now? [12:34] Cube``: ive seen some peolle mention using differnt pythin versions on the askubuntu.com site. but i never mess with python [12:35] garu01: run that addational-drivers tool again, and see if you can click 'activate' and reboot the box. [12:35] Dr_Willis: jrib: google app engine needs python2.5. i have it installed from a ppa. but it lacks sqlite3, which g. app engine needs. how can i fix that? [12:35] arvut: from what I gather, Unity/Gnome3 is explicitly designed to mimick OSX [12:35] Dr_Willis: good, any idea on how to do it? or should I start googling? [12:35] szal: mimic is a bit strong [12:35] arvut: probably if you remove the indicator-appmenu package the menus will be back in the windows, but no guarantees, i haven't tried [12:35] szal: yeah, appears so.. [12:35] arvut: the webupd8 blog site has a guide on 11.04 tweaking that covers it [12:35] how do I tell whether my realtek firmware is being used? I installed it manually [12:36] Cube``: install sqlite3 module for python. Use apt-get build-dep with the python sqlite version in the repositories (as the dependencies are likely the same). Then install the module using whatever method you want (call setup.py directly, use easy_install, or use pip (did pip exist for 2.5?)) [12:36] thegoodcushion: I heard someone say the other day that they even exactly copied some "key" icon (i.e. an icon showing keys, for keyring or ssh) [12:36] jrib: i have sqlite3 for python2.7, but i need it for for 2.5 [12:36] Cube``: yes, I know [12:37] jrib: ah ok? so its possible with build-dep? [12:37] i just installed partclone. where do i find it? [12:37] Cube``: it's possible with what I said before [12:37] Cube``: make sure you install it to your python2.5 installation, not the default ubuntu one [12:37] paulo_: It is likely a command-line tool [12:37] arand: it's not [12:37] paulo_: it may be a cli only app. [12:38] paulo_: run it from a terminal and see [12:38] !info partclone [12:38] Package partclone does not exist in natty [12:38] jrib: where do i define that? [12:38] paulo_: It is, ncurses-based [12:38] jrib: where do i dfine which installation? [12:38] hi guys for some reason i found gnash installed on my system which caused all of the flash streaming except youtube not work [12:38] Dr_Willis: i use netbeans 6.9 for my programming. iv installed the relevant libraries but i still get an error for all opengl functions used in the pgm. [12:38] so i purged it [12:38] I must say, the new workspace switcher in gnome3/unity is really nice.. been thinking of a workspace switcher much like this new one for months. I'd love to see it in 3d like the safari startscreeen tho (thats about the only part of OSX that I actually like) [12:38] how do i get the non free flash back on my ubuntu 11.04 [12:39] Cube``: well if you are calling setup.py, say "python2.5 setup.py" and not "python setup.py" [12:39] arvut, chat/commentary in #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:39] installing flashplugin-nonfree doesnt seem to help [12:39] Nick_Meister: Remove and reinstall flashplugin-installer [12:39] !flash | Nick_Meister [12:39] Nick_Meister: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:39] bazhang: fine [12:39] jrib: aah! [12:40] jrib: ok so im doing apt-get build-dep python-sqlite. then which directory do i go in to find setup.py? [12:40] Cube``: the askubuntu.com site i recall covers other ways to use differnt versions of pythin [12:40] Cube``: the directory with the sqlite module source [12:40] ou do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [12:40] garu01, so run it [12:40] jrib: where would that be? [12:40] that's odd, installing nginx on 11.04 no longer creates the /var/www/ dir [12:40] jrib: or does apt-get build-dep download to the cwd? [12:40] bazhang: how?/ [12:41] Cube``: where you put it? (you need to download it) [12:41] Cube``: the python documentation has a document on installing modules you should read [12:41] garu01: on the terminal [12:41] I used this command: "dd if=/dev/sdc of=./Desktop/usb.img [12:41] " [12:41] to create an image from a drive [12:41] is it correct? [12:41] Cube``: http://docs.python.org/release/2.5/inst/inst.html [12:41] paulo_: depens on how you want to manage the image. [12:42] garu01: sudo nvidia-xconfig <- preferably when X is not running (don't ask me how to temporarily stop X in *buntu, since it doesn't use the traditional runlevel system) [12:42] Dr_Willis: what do you mean? [12:42] paulo_: i tend to do like if=/dev/sda1 of=sda1.image [12:42] garu01: and don't PM people without invitation or permission [12:42] for each partition. [12:42] I wonder, has anyone in here tried virtualbox in 11.04 with win7 as virtualized OS? [12:42] jrib: aah, so build-dep just gives me the dependencies. ok, and now i need to get the source from somewhere else (eg python.org)? [12:43] arvut: probably doesn't help much, but windows xp works fine under it [12:43] jrib: yes or no? [12:43] Dr_Willis: i did it that way since i want to preserve the MBR [12:43] Cube``: sure. I don't know if you need build-dep but it won't hurt [12:43] paulo_: so what are you going to do with the image.. [12:43] jrib: yeah ok. thanks! [12:43] Dr_Willis: boot it on bochs [12:43] JediMaster: I assume it would, any performance differences from native install? [12:44] Running in a VM will always have some performace issues. [12:44] arvut, much slower, no 3d [12:45] bazhang: ok, how about the other way around? [12:45] arvut, ubuntu on windows 7 host? same issues [12:45] meh.. [12:45] arvut, as bazhang said, no 3d, but the performance wasn't too bad, it was simply so we had a copy of IE6 and IE7 to test sites on, it was useable running on the crappy host that only had 2GB ram and a single core amd cpu [12:46] It all depeneds on what you are going to do in the VM. [12:47] i have installed ubuntu 10.04 and after that i have installed utm (unified threat management software -firewall/vpn/av/ips/mail/url/vpn ) on that but now how do i installed /configure additional interface [12:47] this copy is taking long :/ [12:48] JediMaster: ah, I was thinking 11.04 64-bit native on a quad core 3.06ghz i7 with 8 ram which I currently run win7 64bit on. then virtualizing one or the other OS and thus having both at good functionality [12:48] paulo_: you DID use a bs=2048 or similer option? [12:48] nope [12:48] paulo_: that may be why. [12:49] Dr_Willis: what does bs do> [12:49] I think dd may default to 1024 now a days for bs.. not sure.. [12:49] arvut, better to dual boot in that situation, honestly [12:49] block size of somthing like that.. You see it used in all the dd examples [12:49] makes it faster - up to a point. [12:49] see ' man dd ' [12:49] bazhang: yeah.. would be cool with both at the same time tho [12:52] in ubuntu how do i configure nic 2 and 3 [12:52] the copy without bs was at 6.9mb/s [12:52] uuser123, to do what [12:53] i want to assign this nic with kvm [12:54] there are 3 nic installed but i don't know how to configure them [12:54] hey, what happened too the #ubuntu-one channel? [12:55] only 1 nic is correctly configure [12:55] gartral, #ubuntuone still there [12:55] ohh, i had the name wrong.. durr [12:55] HI all [12:55] gartral: #ubuntu-one should forward to #ubuntuone [12:58] uuser123: configure them to do what exactly? [12:58] Is there any reason rsync might be transferring the same files over and over again across an SSH tunnel? [12:58] ok [12:58] There haven't been any changes === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [12:59] i have 3 nic on my system and only 1 is configure and i want to configure 2 and 3 rd nic so i can use nic 2 and 3 with KVM [12:59] No idea what youmean by 'KVM' in this instance. [12:59] uuser123: you may need to use either wicd, or /etc/network/interfaces. As far as I am aware, network manager only handles one NIC [13:00] on KVM i have installed UTM ,where i want to use 3 nic [13:00] Theres always the command line tools. [13:00] Dr_Willis: keyboard-video-mouse [13:00] I cant recall ever seeing a ethernet based KVM gizmo :) [13:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [13:01] Dr_Willis: They exist, and uuser123 is not talking about the KVM that you're thinking of. [13:01] hi all, I have a problem with the eperl package on 10.04 it hangs on install forever and dpkg wont even kill -9. I now have an install of eperl that requires an install to remove, but the install hangs every time after unpacking. Does anyone have a tip on how to remove the package?

[13:03] Pici: yes, but it didn't matter [13:03] gartral, works for me [13:03] gartral: wfm [13:03] gartral, i guess you need to register with NickServ [13:03] Guest9190: i am registered [13:04] oops, not auhed [13:04] gartral: If you are already in the channel it tries to forward to that is the message you will get. [13:04] gartral: That shouldn't have anything to do with it. [13:04] uuser123: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server if you don't get anything here. [13:05] Pici: nope, just left [13:05] ok [13:05] and it still gives me the invite error [13:05] gartral: I'll take a look then. [13:06] I have lots of problems since upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04. [13:06] Can anyone help or do I need to make a fresh install? [13:07] ActionParsnip: unblocked now, thanks. Not had to actually get down and dirty with apt before in 10 years of desktop use ;) [13:07] gartral, maybe irssi isn't seen as an irc client ..just speculating [13:07] Ok, first problem.

[13:40] Guest93175: no, it freezes on booting [13:40] abys: you could try configuring your proxy with separate credentials [13:40] dunno just tossing ideas [13:40] abys: because directories don't generally have group write permissions [13:41] I am trying to ssh connect ubuntu server and Result is starlite@starlite-laptop:~$ ssh vvehicles@122.176.65.178 ssh: connect to host 122.176.65.178 port 22: Connection timed out [13:41] mitzampt unfortunately nop, but would be easier ^_^ [13:41] when i run fdisk -l i get output saying that my disk has 255 heads, are those read write heads?

[13:45] jrib I know how to use sudo but the proxy needs a domain authentication so I can run any sudo I want, unfortunately I won't have internet access [13:45] i think, check sudoers man [13:46] mitzampt: he still would need to use sudo and the command still will be run as root not as user [13:46] abys: but this approach of using the root group... I don't see it working...

[14:06] Sidewinder1: Ahh yes, I believe it is. [14:06] llutz_ : what shall I do ?

I backuped a whole hard drive with "ddrescue /dev/sdc image logfile" which gives me an image file the size of the hard disk and should contain everything like partition table and mbr. Now, is there a way to access the data in this image without copying it to a physical hard drive (which has to be exactly the same size) as far as I understood. [14:08] llutz_ : I have given output in http://dpaste.de/GrCR/ [14:08] hi, trying to setup WOL but its not in the bios of the machine, is there anywhere else it can be done? [14:08] sunit_: you run that on the remote site you want to connect to? [14:08] ysis: you can mount the image locally using -o loop option of mount [14:08] ysis: or use losetup and then mount /dev/loop0 [14:09] Kateon: no, this is a remote port. I think is a Firebird problem. The first test I did was connect to a database using Flamerobin, then connect to the same database using a sample program made by me, and I couldn't connect. But, if I connect with flamerobin to a different database, both programs can coexist. [14:09] arvut, Yes, Azureus is a lot "heavier" than utorrent or transmission; but I prefer having access to all of the info, that Az. provides, even on an old system such as mine (2003). :-( [14:09] riktking, WOL ? [14:09] Kateon: I tried and it failed. But when I thought about it, it seems logical, because I didn't take an image of a partition like /dev/sdc1, but the whole disk /dev/sdc. [14:09] BluesKaj, wake on LAN [14:10] llutz_: yes [14:10] sunit: is that machine behind a router? [14:10] riktking, then use that term , acronyms aren't familiar to everyone [14:10] ysis: ah yep, look into man page of mount and the option to set up an offset [14:10] anyway to divert localhsot:port to another_ip:same_port [14:10] mitzampt: i tried gksudo but when i runned script it did not run and did not call password entry dialog like this for example http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/ubuntu-update-manager-permission-required.png [14:10] any way [14:10] BluesKaj, sorry [14:10] llutz_ : yes [14:10] do you know if it can be done? [14:11] sunit: port 22 needs to be forwarded to that machine in the router [14:11] Kateon: So then I have to know the exact positions of the partitions? How do I get these? [14:11] no need to be sorry riktking, just be aware [14:11] martinrame: hmm ok, i have no experience with that software, so can't really comment on that [14:11] ok [14:11] llutz_: how ? [14:11] sunit: check the routers webinterface [14:11] can WOL be done from the outside of a lan? [14:11] hi [14:12] llutz_: yes [14:12] I am sorry for the boring question but.. I can't get any sound at all from my pc running 10.04 [14:12] ysis: i'm not sure! there's the first 512 bytes (bootsector) for your partition table and boot code [14:12] arvut: it can, needs some tricks on your router. see dd-wrt wiki theres a howto [14:12] is there a checklist somewhere? [14:12] ysis: but google [14:12] llutz_: cool, ty [14:12] llutz_: do you know if the machine needs to be in sleep mode or can be completely shut off? [14:12] Kateon: Thanks. I'll try.

[14:26] Ileden: all I can suggest is seeing if it happens outside of unity, with another OS, with another video driver, with another version of ubuntu and going from there. fwiw, I had something similar happen when my video card gave out on me... But it could just be a driver issue I guess. [14:26] xunilpenguin, is it possible to upgrade to 11.04 ?

[17:07] TheRedOctober do you know much about including headers from the Kernel Source Headers? [17:07] with xubuntu-desktop, not the standard gnome desktop. [17:07] hi, is there a way to install latest ubuntu, but keep the interface of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [17:07] I'll check back in a minute or three. Let me see if reseting some of my options helped. [17:07] and its ubuntu, NOW back to the freaking question at hand. If getent group admin returns nothing, what does that mean? Is it possible to have no super user in a group? [17:08] Rich_: I'm do most of my systems stuff like that in python, it handles it all for me:) [17:08] The one i want is in there (checksum.h), but its not in my other store (/usr/include). [17:08] KXTwo: What does uname -a report? [17:09] Once again - hard lock up on the lucid 64bit computer. temps all check out ok, and so does the memory. anyone have suggestions? When I submit a large print job to the computer, it locks up hard [17:09] TheRedOctober yeah, this is the 1st time its been very difficult, the other issues were a learning curve. [17:09] mbeierl: stop submitting print jobs :p [17:09] that its ubuntu :) [17:09] .. take your fish and troll away <°))))>< [17:09] mbeierl: last lock ups i had was due to hard drive failure.. checkdmesg output? [17:09] KXTwo: I think we're finished here. [17:09] soapie: yep... [17:09] 2.6.35 if you want to keep being anal [17:09] is it possible to install the old user interface on the latest ubuntu? [17:10] !classic | alesan [17:10] alesan: 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. [17:10] Pici, i was done with your elitist attitude 10 minutes ago [17:10] TheRedOctober Have you done much programming with Packets on Ubuntu? [17:10] alesan: the classic is not identical to the old gnome however. [17:10] alesan: but its close. === marrusl is now known as marrusl_afk [17:10] Dr_Willis, do you know if this option will be available also in the next LTS version? [17:10] Dr_Willis: there is no dmesg as the OS is locked hard and cannot persist dmesg across reboots. also there is nothing in /var/log/messages or any other log to indicate any faults at all :( [17:10] alesan: from what ive read.. next releae.. will be Unity only. [17:11] Rich_: have you tried asking #linux? #ubuntu is more for complaints about unity these days. I haven't spent time on the lower region of the tcp/ip stack in a decade. [17:11] Dr_Willis, I hope my mom, that learned the Gnome interface during the last 4 years, will find it similar enough [17:11] mbeierl: you can't ssh in from another machine? It's totally borked? [17:11] mbeierl: you could ssh in, and have a app tailing the dmesg output to screen to see if you can fiure out anything. (Not a great way to do it.. but a way) [17:11] I'm back. No luck. Still no window title bars, "X" for cursor, generally broken window manager behaviour when I log directly in with my main account. [17:11] TheRedOctober No, actually im new to IRC as well ; [17:11] correct, no ping, no network, no sysreq-reisub, nothing [17:11] locked hard [17:11] :) [17:11] haha aww do you feel better lol homo :) [17:11] go get laid you nerd [17:12] MaximumResults: You could totally reset all the users settings. [17:12] Dr_Willis, I think I will stick with LTS 10.04 then, and when it goes out of support, look for a different distribution :( [17:12] Rich_: Try another place, even #Debian would be better. Best of luck, wish I could help. [17:12] Dr_Willis, is there a quick way to do that? [17:12] alesan: gnome3 will also be replaceing the old gnome by then.. so whatver. [17:12] TheRedOctober Never knew about #linux i may try that next (This is quite busy lol)...... Thx man!!! [17:12] MaximumResults: move everhting in your home dir to some newlymade dir.. is one hardcore way. :) [17:13] I thought Ubuntu was using gnome 3 in the latest release... [17:13] Right now, I have "real work" to do. I think I'm going with my workaround for the moment. I just log in with my other "testing" account first and switch users from there, When I do that it seems to work correctly [17:13] Rich_: its a slow day actually [17:13] Dr_Willis, are you saying gnome 3 is a different thing than unity? [17:13] alesan: yes [17:13] incredible [17:13] Dr_Willis, Yeah, I might create a new user, and then move everything (data, not settings) from one user to the other. [17:13] MaximumResults: i mentiioned the webupd8 site having some commands to try [17:13] alesan: gnome3 is not unity. [17:13] alesan: gnome 3 was released late enough in natty's cycle to not be included [17:13] alesan: they have similer looks.

Unity can work with the rest of GNOME 3 apps, but i don't think they've been packaged yet [17:14] Dr_Willis, soapie: sorry - posted quickly without nick. Just in case: the machine is totally locked up, not just the ui. no network, no sysreq, nothing. [17:14] the UNDERlaying stuff (not to get techincal) is the same for gnome3 an unity :) i guess ya can say.. [17:14] idiots.. [17:15] Dr_Willis, where is webupd8? What's the url for their blog? [17:15] mbeierl: bummer. I was having similer issues.. due to HD failing. saw it mentioned in dmesg output. [17:15] hello, there is no global menu in pidgin and I need to mute the sounds, can anyone help? [17:15] MaximumResults: i just type webupd8 and its first google hit. :) see my links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis [17:15] I have a 2030 Typematrix keyboard. I'm learning both it, and the colemak-layout, which is built in to it (hotkey to activate). Ubu is set to norwegian layout, and generally it works well. But there are characters I can't find though, < and > specifically. Solutions? Software to generate a custom charactermap? [17:15] Dr_Willis: there's no tail -f for dmesg is there? [17:16] mbeierl: i think you can tail -f /var/log/messages or some similer file. [17:16] mbeierl: i think theres some othe ways to do it also. but its been a whild. [17:16] Got it.

[17:18] i like my G15 keyboard. :) i even have the lcd on it working in Linux good now a days.

I'm trying to install shotwell 0.8+ on Lucid but without success for now. I've added yorba's and felxio-something's too. No help. [18:02] Any idea? Btw, is there any other app for image collections with video support? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:03] Atlantic777: picasa maybe? [18:03] sburwood1: I doubt you'll get anything here [18:03] KM0201: picasa doesn't play videos on GNU/Linux AFAIK. [18:03] sburwood1: it's a hardware problem [18:03] i am trying to install xchat and remove xchat-gnome as it does not seem to be working properly [18:03] how to I execute a .sh file? [18:03] vacho: chmod +x foo.sh ./foo.sh [18:03] Atlantic777: ok... what version of shotwell do you have, and you're trying to install .8? [18:03] vacho: or sh foo.sh [18:03] but when i try to install xchat it complains about libperl5.10 > not being installable [18:04] ok so disabling effects didn't clear it up [18:04] from what i can tell libperl5.12 is already installed [18:04] what gives? [18:04] KM0201: current version is 0.7.2 from yorba's ppa, and I'm looking for 0.8 or 0.9. [18:04] X just dies & drops me out; i'm going to try another driver version [18:04] Dr_Willis: im trying to make startup disk for UB11.04 but result of dd if of , makes some corrupted (or strange looking) folders and files on my usb stick [18:04] thegoodcushion: What I'm looking for is a program that I can install on the computer - connect a microphone and get feedback on the decibel levels [18:04] KM0201: 0.8 should have video support too. [18:04] yeah I know that's what you're looking for. I don't think a normal mic can be used like that [18:04] I've worked in TV for 15 years [18:04] KM0201: btw, I can install it from source, but... [18:04] peter____: lets clarify somting.. are you trying to 'dd' the iso file to a usb stick? [18:04] yes [18:05] peter____: I reckon you shouldn't do that [18:05] peter____: totally WRONG way to do it. [18:05] hmm [18:05] for some reason during the upgrade there are a bunch of archives that say connection failed. [18:05] I wonder where people get the idea they can dd an iso to a flash drive :) [18:05] Atlantic777: well, looking at their instructions, the yorba repository for .9 only works w/ maverick... so.. thats why its not working... unless you find another repo, your only option is to compile from source [18:05] hi [18:05] i need help [18:06] peter____: use a tool like unetbootin, or some of them from pendrivelinux web site. to make the flash stick [18:06] peter____: or somt other tools also exist for the same task. [18:06] when i'm working in a VM (host = ubuntu 11.04) with "some" key combination in the VM (don't know which yet) i start up banshee in the host which is obviously very annoying, anyone know 1) what that keybinding could be, 2) why it is being propagated to the host and 3) how to fix it? [18:06] KM0201: ok... do I have to remove current shotwell before compiling it? [18:06] Dr_Willis: im stuck on mint 10 and default usb making apps seems to not work as intended, unetbootin failed as Ubuntu dosent boot up so im running out of options here [18:06] Atlantic777: wait, have yout ried the "flexion" PPA, and it still didn't work? [18:07] KM0201: yeah. Still nothing. [18:07] peter____: pendrivelinux site have tools for linux that will work. so check oiut that site i suggest [18:07] i delete a accounts in Account manager in Ubuntu 11.04 [18:07] Atlantic777: that would probably be a good idea... [18:07] you could try the debian way peter which is to cat file.iso > /dev/sdX [18:07] KM0201: ok... [18:07] and X server didn't start [18:07] peter____: there are issues with the usb-disk-maker tool in some older relases with newer iso files. yes. :) [18:07] plz help me [18:07] Atlantic777: you can probably back up /home/user/.shotwell if you want to save your configuration. [18:07] Dr_Willis: thank you for help === viper is now known as Guest12604 [18:07] KM0201: great idea. :D [18:08] thegoodcushion: I don't care what kind of microphone ... I work at a hospital and we have a room where we can relax. And there are a couple people who yell like they were at a rock concert [18:08] peter____: pendrive site also has tools that let you setup grub2 on a flash to boot an iso file. :) you could set up 10+ disrtos on one flash drive that way [18:08] Dr_Willis: thats handy! [18:08] sburwood1: decibel meters are really easy to buy at an audio shop [18:08] thegoodcushion: and I want to get an objective bit of information to tell them that they are exaggerating [18:09] plz help me, anybody? [18:09] Atlantic777: there's instructions here for backing up shotwell, etc.. i would do that, then uninstall it, then compile from source.. http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ#CanIrunShotwell0.9.0onUbuntu10.04LucidLynx [18:09] sburwood1: you need a decibel meter. And where you place the meter is of critical importance [18:09] Atlantic777: they also have instructions on that site for compiling it from source... [18:09] thegoodcushion: I live in Belgium. Are they something that can be discrete and do they need something connected? [18:09] they look like mics [18:09] thegoodcushion: and do they cost a lot?? [18:09] no, they don't cost a lot [18:10] KM0201: gentoo user here, don't worry. :D [18:10] Atlantic777: then why are you here [18:10] thegoodcushion: and what is "not a lot"? [18:10] KM0201: because my father uses ubuntu. :D [18:10] sburwood1: got one for $20 us here. :) about 2 meals at McDonolds.. [18:11] Hello evryone , on the wesbite www.Ubuntu.com are 2 downloads available Download and Install , and try it from a Cd or a usb stick what are the differences? [18:11] Dr_Willis: Ok, but do they need to be connected to something? [18:11] jemand: if you download the iso . you can put it on a cd, or on a usb. [18:11] sburwood1: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=decibel+meter&oq=decibel+meter&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=5702l6543l0l3l3l1l0l0l0l312l515l2-1.1 [18:11] but its both the same Dr_Willis [18:11] sburwood1: the one i got is just about the size of a pack of cigs. and has a Digital meter on the front.

[18:12] hmmm does flash player work for you ? /S [18:12] jemand: i DONT recommend using wubi :) [18:12] Dr_Willis, me too [18:12] Dr_Willis: but are they independant or do they need something with them? [18:12] smooki: flash sucks, if that is what you are asking [18:12] xangua : I would like to test some video on youtube [18:13] sburwood1: its just a box that takes a battery and a meter/gague on it.. You are makign it way too hard.. [18:13] Dr_Willis, i burned the iso and it asked me to run wubi so it means wubi is on the cd, will it work like a normal cd? [18:13] no, I didn't know [18:13] it seems it doesn't load any datas... [18:13] jemand: you did not BOOT the cd.. you just put it in while running windows. [18:13] How high do they go? How many decibels?? [18:13] jemand: wubi is on the cd yes. :) I always remove wubi from my custom setup === ssfdre38_ is now known as ssfdre38 [18:13] Evince fails with "No protocol specified <\n> Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display: " when I try to open any pdf file.

[19:02] Hi All. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and my CD/DVD drive either won't recognize or it recognizes then about 5 minutes after boot it unmounts and won't recognize until I reboot. Any thoughts?

I made commits on my branch, created a patch sent to the devs and they ewre commited. I then did 'git pull' However it still says my branche is ahead of master. I did rebase and nothing. Even did 'git --reset hard master' but git status still says I'm several commits ahead of master [19:06] and yet ubuntu is a linux version 9_9 [19:07] D34X: we can tell you how to install Ubuntu. If that applies to DSL, then go for it.... [19:07] thegoodcushion: compdoc if you want networkmanager to manage your networking there should only the lo in the interfaces file [19:07] thegoodcushion, does eth0:avahi have a ip address? [19:07] ok then?... [19:07] D34X: no, its a distribution. Linux is only the kernel [19:07] yes [19:07] compdoc: 169.254.4.154 [19:08] thegoodcushion, thats an address that gets created when there is no dhcp server on the lan [19:08] thegoodcushion: 169.254.x.x means you failed dhcp [19:08] it has a cable plugged in?

[19:12] oh ok Will try [19:12] ok i caught the X segfault: http://pastebin.com/LZdVM3gq, anyone have any thoughts? [19:12] Diana: reboot to recovery mode then sudo X -configure -a [19:12] thegoodcushion, do you have a wired router? or other wired computers that do work? [19:13] Diana: it will create an xorg.conf.new in /root. copy this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. reboot [19:13] how do I reboot to recovery? [19:13] ok dudes, my linux works well now, many thanks to all for helping me :) o/ [19:13] compdoc: yeah, a router [19:13] Diana: after the guest additions, I doubt you will need xorg.conf [19:13] smooki, have fun [19:13] Diana: when you see the Vbox screen prerss shift and it will bring up grub [19:13] compdoc: the same computer can connect to it via wifi without issue [19:14] compdoc: and I'm typing to you on my MacBook which is also connected wirelessly to it [19:15] thegoodcushion, in the router, enable dhcp [19:15] Diana: just to confirm reboot means restart the vbox [19:15] compdoc: It's done [19:15] was it disabled? [19:15] compdoc: My MacBook has been connecting for the last 6 weeks on and off without fail [19:15] It also turned off Unity upon install, is that normal? [19:15] compdoc: nope [19:15] how can I use ecryupt-setup-private to use key file instead of just a passphrase? [19:16] thegoodcushion, does the wired nic connect directly to the router? does it show connection LEDs? [19:17] compdoc: it connects to my switch, which currently shows no connection [19:17] or LEDs on the nic itself? [19:17] (even though it's plugged in) [19:17] sounds like a wiring problem [19:17] Does unity run on vbox? [19:17] well it works in Windows [19:17] student === aaron is now known as student [19:18] Diana: to install the vboxadditons and configure X, X must not be running. that's why you have to boot to recovery mode [19:18] kubu2: res worked with just a reboot without configure, after installing the additions [19:19] Diana: lucky you then. bec sometimes it doesn't configure well [19:19] but it turned off unity after install, is that normal? [19:19] Diana: I haven't seen unity in vbox for me [19:19] excuse me...

[19:24] (in ubuntu 11.04 unity) [19:24] thegoodcushion, maybe thats why - it didnt have one to begin with? Mine realtek cards have never needed a driver since it was built in [19:25] compdoc: well it definitely wasn't working before I installed a proprietary driver [19:25] and it still isn't [19:25] My graphics card driver is not working: it cuts out a stripe of the screen and don't show all resolutions. [19:25] should I keep those 2 lines in my /etc/network/interfaces file? how confident are you of those lines? [19:25] wish me luck! [19:26] could anyone tell me how i can give permission to a non-root user to unmount partitions? [19:26] thegoodcushion, those lines will work if the system can use the card [19:27] rudi: add the user to the wheel group and use sudo umount /whatever/it/is [19:27] rudi, add the partition to the fstab or add the user to plugdev [19:27] thegoodcushion, this is 10.04?

It is no problem with the wlan itself I think. The problem occures since update to natty [20:07] tyler_d: hm looks fine, can you use aptitude for installing kubuntu-desktop? the output of aptitude is much better for dependency-problems [20:07] paulo_: it's not really an exploit.

[20:27] rudi: i don't remember installing the ntfs config tool you mentioned [20:27] temp_, try running mpd like a normal command and look at the output - maybe some file does not have the right permissions [20:28] rudi: it probably is what is causing the problem [20:28] Hello all :) [20:28] rudi: for read-write ntfs support you just need ntfs-3g and ntfs-progs [20:28] what's up with rhythmbox, why doesn't it import my mp3s?

[20:49] would anyone provide me with a guide for my problem [20:49] tempest, it's all explained when you try to do it. again, check ccsm [20:50] q_a_z_steve, one simple way is to use opendns on your router [20:50] floww: so just don't use the entire drive. [20:50] floww, well at minimum you need a partition with a mountpoint as "/", in addition you can have a /boot partition or a /home partition. a swap partition is also recommended [20:50] setxkbmap -layout "dvorak,us" [20:50] [min|dvir|us]: yeah logs help :) [20:50] jimcooncat: There is no router [20:51] how can you encrypt, in an easy way, the home folder after instalation?

[20:53] tempest, i haven't tried the cube other than just trying whatever was available on unity... i kind of like the unity shortcuts though. [20:53] bfig: I've read you can have the cube + unity [20:53] no i forgot it but i tell you excactly what i did escott I pressed on someting else then i clicked on my 1tb harddrive and created a partition there it bugged out I selected 17 gb and /dos and use it as ntfs [20:54] Is there a program that can regularly record RAM usage? Or could I set up a script to do this and run it via cron?

[20:54] escott, so i said ok whatever lets install it on the whole partition didnt work also [20:54] bfig: in 11.04 [20:54] $1 [20:54] in orer to modify the default group of new files I need to chmod g+s on the directory, right? [20:55] escott, as u see i need some guidance [20:55] yigal, i've no idea what you're talking about, in fact i'm having problems with unity myself at the moment [20:55] I do that, but then members of the group cant ls in that directory [20:55] escott, something with primary boot data === trumana is now known as TrueStory [20:55] floww, i understand but without knowing exactly what your error was its hard for me to say what is happening [20:56] bfig: there is a problem with the dbus plugin for compiz so that dbus calls don't work at the moment [20:56] Renski, thats only for new files in that folder [20:56] bfig: what problems? [20:56] Can I mix and match Ext 3 and Ext 4 file systems? I'm building a test/backup box, and I was thinking of formatting it Ext 4, but my main box is using Ext 3? [20:57] n2diy, yes === awang is now known as azuriel [20:57] adam61, do you not have a /dev/audio/mixer? [20:57] escott: sure, but that doesnt explain why I cant ls after I cd to that directory [20:57] escott, would it be possible to install ubunntu without Grub , so that I just click f12 while booting and choose my secondary HD to load Ubuntu [20:57] adam61, or rather /dev/snd? [20:57] jimcooncat: I want to understand, what's the file you mentioned used for? Is that where a gateway address would be setup? [20:57] yigal, yesterday i wanted to try mania-drive so i downloaded it. then i got some weird ELFCLASS64 problem, i had to download ia32-libs. after i rebooted there was an error telling me i didn't have the necessary hardware to run unity [20:57] Ok, I'm trying to repair my 11.04 upgrade from a 10.04 usb stick. trying to run gives me this error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / [20:58] floww, you must have grub, but you can try to put grub on the secondary disk [20:58] yigal, then i ran unity from a console... and that was my one way ticket to linux hell [20:58] the stick is mounted, the target is mounted, I dunno what to do. [20:58] escott: basically I want the user and group to have full access, and any files and directories they create to be readable by the group [20:58] ok escott ill thank you [20:58] What is the advantage of the Ext 4 FS over Ext 3? [20:58] chrooting in and doing it locally gives me the exact same results [20:58] n2diy, extents mostly. check wikipedia [20:58] yigal, now i don't have a clue what i should do to revert this [20:58] escott: I don't care about the speed of routing it that way, I do want to eliminate browser being the controller, because that's definitely able to be circumvented in most cases, right? [20:58] escott: i don't know, the sound card i'm trying to use as my default (tascam us122) doesn't have a mixer i don't think; when i type /dev/audio/mixer it says "bash: /dev/audio/mixer: No such file or directory" [20:58] n2diy, https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [20:59] bfig: so your on x64 and installed ia32-libs, well I guess uninstall that? [20:59] bfig: are you using a xorg.conf? [20:59] adam61, sorry its /dev/snd im not sure what file alsamixer is looking for [20:59] ok, I'll just try rebooting, fuck it. [20:59] yigal, what's that? [21:00] bfig: xorg.conf is a file to manually specify how Xorg should treat your hardware [21:00] q_a_z_steve, anyone who has physical access can circumvent. your child could get their own livecd and boot that to browse for pr0n, but if you control the only outside line... [21:00] yigal, where should it be? [21:01] bfig: /etc/X11/ but if you haven't manually created one you won't have one [21:01] escott, /dev/snd returned the same output. i can't understand why i don't have it anymore [21:01] Can anyone recommend a good program in the repos for directly editing .pub files? [21:01] adam61, check that your sound card modules are loaded, with lsmod/modprobe [21:01] yigal, i have one but it doesn't have much on it [21:01] bfig: in the "good old days" a year ago and more an xorg.conf file was basically required to get graphics up in linux [21:02] On 10.04, when I run `sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun`, it appears to run successfully but my java version doesn't actually change. Any ideas why this would be and how I can change the default java to sun's java6? [21:02] bfig: ok, pastebin it [21:02] !resetpanel [21:02] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:02] Renski, (a) check that the setgid bit is working as expected by doing chmod g+s .; mkdir test; ls -l test === hallyn_afk is now known as hallyn [21:03] yigal, http://pastebin.com/aqstPxLW [21:04] q_a_z_steve_: /etc/resolv.conf is where the dns name servers are stored. Please understand I haven't kept up with all the tech, and this may be different now, so please research this more. If still true, you can get an account at opendns, filter what you want, and put their name servers in this file. [21:04] escott, that's lsmod/modprobe with no spaces? it says "no such file or directory". cat /proc/asound/modules returns "1 snd_usb_usx2y" [21:04] hello all [21:04] escott, its telling me to set the root now i remembered it can i set the root point [21:04] which is the best mail client in ubuntu 11.04 ? [21:04] adam61, no just lsmod and look for your soundcard module (if you know what it should be) [21:04] SOUND PROBLEMS, again. Linux Sound is ... Anyone able to keep the sound from the mic from getting to the speakers on a Ubunut 11.04 AMD64 installation? [21:04] bfig: ok, none of that should mess with unity [21:04] yigal, *I* messed with unity [21:04] escott, can i set the root point on my used disk with music movies and so on [21:04] bfig: just reinstall it [21:05] yigal, how can i do that? btw i'd like to do the same with GDE [21:05] also reset my ccsm settings [21:05] sudo apt-get --reinstall install unity [21:05] floww, setting the mount point to "/" just means that is where your system software will be. all your other stuff like (/home) can be in the same partition or in other partitions [21:05] Can anyone recommend a good program in the repos for directly editing .pub files? [21:05] floww, if you set it to your used disk then all your music will be deleted [21:06] Hedgehog, what are .pub files? [21:06] escott, ok i did that and found it. it says: "snd_usb_usx2y 28972 2" [21:06] escott: Microsoft Publisher [21:06] Hedgehog, libreoffice is my only guess [21:06] escott, how should i do it create a partition and put it there? [21:07] floww, you could delete the partition that exists, and then create a new one [21:07] Hedgehog, open office [21:07] bfig: about resetting your compiz, that is your ccsm settings I'd imagine that the command "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz" should do the trick, though I'm not exactly certain [21:07] Hedgehog: no .pub editor or converter I know of. [21:07] yigal, what should i do now? === Faint is now known as Faint1 [21:07] escott: good point about the livecd but I think outside of that I'll be fine with a proxy, right? [21:07] yigal, ok [21:07] bfig: what have you done? [21:07] prashant_123456: What program? [21:07] sudo apt-get --reinstall... [21:07] Hedgehog, open office [21:07] bfig: well do that bit above with gconf [21:07] done [21:08] Hedgehog, open office publisher [21:08] q_a_z_steve, the point is it is very minimal security, you can try to configure all the browsers to go through the proxy, but its not going to be hard to configure them to go direct *UNLESS* you make sure the only way out is through the proxy, and thats hard to do with a single system [21:08] now reboot? [21:08] prashant_123456: I mean, what OpenOffice program? [21:08] bfig: now you can either log off and login, but in your situation I would almost suggest just restarting to see if there are any improvements [21:08] prashant_123456: Ah [21:08] Hedgehog, yep [21:08] Hedgehog, open office publisher [21:08] yigal, ok. thanks for the help, i'll reboot and come back [21:08] Hi. Just a quick one: What ever happened to the Ubuntu Netbook download for 11.04? There was a link right around 11.04 release time at the Ubuntu home page, but it was 404, and now it has been removed completely. [21:08] floww, the install media has a "try ubuntu first" option which has a tool called gparted, it may be easier to setup the disk partitions with that tool prior to beginning the install [21:09] ever since i installed natty the screen is frozen after coming back from hibernation if a video is playing--i think not just flash but totem or anything. you can still pull up a f1-f6 terminal and reboot but that is all. does anyone have any suggestions [21:09] indeed escott ill head on going this way [21:09] I'm building a test box with a SATA 160g hard drive. I can't set the boot flag on the drive, it is an OEM drive that has WIN NT, and XP on it, and it won't boot those, ideas? === Relevant is now known as Rel [21:09] Hedgehog, openoffice has been renamed to libreoffice in newer releases [21:09] escott: I'm definitely going to have the proxy built on a separate system, but I think if the internet gateway is a transparent proxy (I'm hearing) and it has filters then it solves the issue, at least most of it??? [21:10] prashant_123456: no such program ;( [21:10] q_a_z_steve, yes thats what you want. you want your gateway to be the proxy [21:10] Hedgehog, its called OOo [21:11] prashant_123456, Hedgehog its now called libreoffice [21:11] Hedgehog: there is no way that I know of to edit .pub's Microsoft has kept too tight of leash on this. You can do other things like convert it from pub and then edit it as a drawing or whatever... Check www.osalt.com or others. [21:11] Hedgehog, http://www.openoffice.org/ [21:12] escott, is it really called libreoffice ? [21:12] improveupon: is this with a proprietary graphics driver? (re: your hibernation/freeze thing) [21:12] prashant_123456, yes in the more recent versions they switched (its an oracle/sun merge fallout thign) [21:12] prashant_123456: oracle is ditching openoffice because libreoffice has gained so much "mindshare" [21:12] escott, ok [21:12] Faint1, its great [21:13] libreoffice is supposed to have better MS Office compat, etc [21:13] prashant_123456, if someone is running 10.04 then oocalc,oowriter etc are correct, but for 11.04 (And i think 10.10 as well) they want the libreoffice version [21:13] I forget what all the good stuff it's supposed to have is [21:13] escott, ok ic [21:13] Faint1, no oracle [21:13] Anyone using TOR in Ubuntu 10.4? [21:13] yigal, i still can't alt-tab but the ability to bring terminals is there again, same with executing programs with alt+f2 [21:13] no_face, u mean torrent [21:14] bfig: do you have compiz working? [21:14] No... i mean TORproject.org [21:14] Hedgehog: there's an online converter at http://www.zamzar.com/ -- I haven't tried it yet [21:14] no_face: im using it... [21:14] bfig, can you drag and resize windows? [21:14] bfig: +w does that show all windows open? [21:14] how can I built openssl key module? [21:14] build* [21:14] yigal, yes, it's all a heap of conflicting programs overriding their keys [21:14] escott, nope :( [21:15] the part of the gui that handles windows seems to be misconfigured [21:15] bfig, do you have the window decorations (the border you would use for dragging or are they missing?) [21:15] i don't have minimize/max/restore buttons either [21:16] escott, i have the down-right corner, and the scrollbar. other than that no [21:16] escott, for the terminals they don't have a menu bar [21:16] bfig, compiz isn't working then, was it working before? [21:17] but if i press alt+F they show the context menu [21:17] escott, yes... till i manually opened and force-closed unity with ctrlc [21:17] while gde was running :p [21:17] bfig: please take it easy on the key, don't use it for puctuation [21:17] what does "touch" do? [21:17] *punctuation [21:17] bfig, or at least compiz is partially working (because alt-f2 is working) but compiz isn't doing its job as a window manager [21:17] !touch [21:18] cypha`: it creates an empty file with the name you supply [21:18] cypha`: it creates a file [21:18] touch makes an empty file [21:18] oh ok, thanks [21:18] touch foo, creates the empty file named "foo" [21:18] escott, i attribute this to a massive key misconfiguration, that's why i wanted it to go back to factory settings [21:18] cypha`, also used to update the files modification date [21:18] escott, interesting [21:18] thanks [21:18] bfig, i would nuke your .compiz directory then [21:18] hi [21:19] escott, if i make it explode, will it reconfigure everything automagically? [21:19] Is there anyone else here who just didn't dig Unity? :P [21:19] i have an error message i want to confirm the solution before to use it [21:19] bfig, yes, those folders will be recreated [21:19] here's the message "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" [21:19] escott, where can i find this? home folder? [21:19] Faint1: I tried to get rid of it [21:19] !enter | newubuntist [21:20] Faint1: I failed [21:20] bfig: if you want to take risks you could also nuke your ~/.gconf and ~/.gconfd folders [21:20] newubuntist: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:20] Hedgehog: just select ubuntu classic from the login screen [21:20] bfig: ~/.config/compiz [21:20] Faint1: I know, it always fails though [21:20] bfig, yes there is ~/.compiz as well as ~/.config/compiz and ~/.config/compiz-1 [21:20] ok ubottu i take note [21:20] yigal: suggest "rename" instead of "nuke" [21:20] Hedgehog: weird; failed distribution upgrade maybe? or was this a clean install [21:20] Faint1: No, my computer's just 7 years old ;) [21:21] With no graphics card [21:21] It only just survives Unity [21:21] Hedgehog: mine's no prize either, but I had no trouble [21:21] are there any decent math programs on ubuntu to draw discrete mathematical figures/diagrams [21:21] so should i nuke all those folders ? just to be sure: ~/.compiz, ~/.config/compiz, ~./config/compiz-1, ~./gconf, ~./gconfd [21:21] bfig, you will only lose whatever customizations you may have made. if they are extensive then it may be worth being more discrete [21:21] Hedgehog: I'd say the inability to select "ubuntu classic" and login is an indication that something else is up [21:21] guru1004: are you familiar with LaTeX? [21:21] Faint1: no, it works, just very useless [21:21] bfig, the gconf folders control assorted application customization, so i would remove it as a last resort [21:22] Hedgehog: not sure what you mean [21:22] guru1004: PGF/Tikz is a TeX program for this [21:22] guru1004: also xfig isn't bad [21:22] ok... i'll leave the gconf ones out of it then. what will hapen when i reboot and it doesn't find any conf files? [21:22] guru1004: it looks awful but works well [21:22] escott: I have no idea how to go on google doesnt help me neither I have managed to start gparted but Iam confused [21:23] bfig, it will make those folders again with the default contents [21:23] bfig: it will make them [21:23] lol [21:23] but for example, which gui will it boot me into? [21:23] flowwwww, the upper right of gparted shows the disk you are working with [21:23] bfig: which ever you last opened if it was default [21:23] escott: indeed selected the right one [21:23] bfig: /etc/skel contains a skeleton of those files, and copies them over if it fails to find them [21:23] hi guys, to create a guid based partition table what table type should i use on gparted? [21:23] newubuntist: for ld to return an exit status of 1, doesn't it have to be present? [21:24] ok. i'll try and get back here after this [21:24] hey guys. can anybody tell me what the difference between quota.user/quota.group and aquota.user/aquota.group is? I see in the quota man page that aquota is version 2, but there's no mention of what that does differently. i'm using "usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" in /etc/fstab which works fine. but if i try to change it to aquota (and touch the files) the remount... [21:24] flowwwww, you can right click on a partition and "delete" it, and you can right click on free space and "create" a partition [21:24] ...fails saying "bad optioin" [21:24] newubuntist: you seem to be trying to build or compile something; have you made sure that you have the build-essential package installed [21:24] Faint : sorry i don't understand your question [21:24] newubuntist: sorry, no idea, listen to Faint1 [21:24] yigal: thanks for the tips. i was looking for something more high-level such a firemath. [21:25] newubuntist: if you read your error message, it says that ld returned exit status 1 [21:25] Faint :yes you are right [21:25] alex88[nb], gpt is the guid-partition-table, you can also use gdisk command line utility [21:25] anyone know if theres an eqvilivant if /etc/init.d/iptables ini script on ubuntu ? [21:25] there is partition sdb1 system preserved with Flags boot what about it escott [21:25] flowwwww, hard to say without a screenshot. can you !paste one to us? [21:26] escott: ill try [21:26] newubuntist: for something to return an exit status 1, it has to run :P otherwise it's going to be the shell telling you it's not found [21:26] teb2: ufw maybe === Afteraffekt is now known as WhoHazBigCock [21:26] Faint: i need to have gcc 4.1 and am afraid if i install build essential this will update the gcc , wht do u think? [21:26] can ufw read standard iptables rule files? [21:27] newubuntist: you can have more than one gcc === WhoHazBigCock is now known as Afteraffeky === Afteraffeky is now known as Afteraffekt [21:27] teb2, ufw creates its own set of basic rules, i doubt they are compatible with a custom set of rules and filters [21:27] audio problems: all audio playback has echo, music to front and voices to the back -- how do i fix? [21:27] newubuntist: usually you just have to make sure that your compiler variable points to the right one [21:27] teb2: http://pario.no/2008/05/21/using-ufw-iptables-in-ubuntu-804-lts/ [21:27] yigal : so i can install build essential without removing my gcc 4.1.2 [21:28] I have a laptop, how do I configure it to play audio via both: speakers and headphones simultaneously? [21:28] newubuntist: you might have to manually install gcc4.1 and then install build-essential [21:28] yigal xfig looks perfect [21:28] guru1004: great! [21:28] yigal : i did install manually gcc 4.1 [21:29] res0nat0r : thx [21:29] escott: oh thank you, i'll use that! [21:29] newubuntist: you should be good to go then [21:29] escott, yigal, windows haven't returned :| [21:29] janisozaur, you could play around with hda_analyzer (if you have hda sound), but usually its automatically disabled when press detect indicates the headphones are being used [21:29] newubuntist: so, apt-get install gcc-4.1? [21:30] yigal : no i updated first the sources.list by the right link [21:30] teb2: one method....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Saving iptables [21:30] guys, someone there? i m trying to install xbmc 10.1 on kubuntu, or ubuntu,... can't. Is there a way? [21:30] escott, do you know what i might be able to try to recover alsamixer? [21:30] got an audio-book here, and want to transfer it to the MP3-Player... sadly the ID3-Tags are f..... up and i would like to remove them at all... so that i can sort them by filename [21:30] escott, tbh, I have no idea what kind of sound do I have. I can see snd_hda_intel module loaded but I am not sure if it actually means that I have hda hardware [21:30] chewy: very descriptive error message there [21:31] Minze, easytag [21:31] Faint1, sorry: i m only trying to find the xbmc package in ubuntu software, no way. [21:31] Is there a repo i should add? [21:31] janisozaur, if you have a recent intel based laptop, you almost certainly have hda, download the hda_analyzer from alsa, use the --monitor mode to see what flags are being changed when you plug in the headphones, and use the gui to enable the flags for both headphones and speakers [21:31] yigal : then apt-get updates , then you enter a long command line i don't have it now but if u need it i can give it to you [21:31] Sadly i know nether an tool too remove them at all, nor a tool to rename them all at the same time like in WIN [21:31] I have a 2030 Typematrix keyboard. I'm learning both it, and the colemak-layout, which is built in to it (hotkey to activate). Ubu is set to norwegian layout, and generally it works well. But there are characters I can't find though, < and > specifically. Solutions? Software to generate a custom charactermap? [21:32] newubuntist: you need to make sure to install gcc-4.1 manually so that it will be treated as software not to be automatically upgraded, to do this issue, "sudo apt-get install gcc-4.1" [21:32] adam61, sounds like you dont have any sound card modules loaded. what kind of soundcard do you have [21:32] So that the filenames would be like 1(001).mp3 1(002).mp3 and so on [21:32] guys, anyone knowing the way to install xbmc on 11.04? [21:32] any audio experts here? [21:33] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu on windows (wubi) but I get an error during instalation (actually, during download), the log show this error: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso' [21:33] escott, it's a tascam us122. when i do cat /proc/asound/modules it gives: 1 snd_usb_usx2y [21:33] !anyone | leigh [21:33] leigh: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:33] Minze, there should be an id3tag command line tool which could wipe them all [21:33] yigal : ok i will , then for build essentail : i must do : apt-get build essentials? [21:33] newubuntist: sudo apt-get install build-essential [21:33] thanks :maco [21:33] newubuntist: it has a - and is singular, and you need to give apt-get instructions to do with it, in this case "install" [21:33] adam61, ok... i'm not too familiar with usb soundcards [21:34] any ftp clients for ubuntu that have speed limits? [21:34] can anyone help me, please ? [21:34] wubiuser: You need to be logged in as an administrator to install via Wubi. Why not do a normal dual boot install though? [21:34] Does anyone know how to fix an audio echo playback problem? [21:34] newubuntist: just complete, I believe it's "build-essential" [21:34] pickett: wget [21:34] Minze, try eye3D [21:35] pickett: I'm sure there are many others as well. [21:35] newubuntist: yes, so "sudo apt-get install build-essential" <- just paste what's in the quotes after manually installing [21:35] Minze, or if you prefer a gui application: easytag [21:35] Jordan_U: how to login as administrator on Windows seven please ? I've never used it. I want to install ubuntu on windows, not as dual boot, just a choice [21:35] yigal , maco thanks , i'll install it and tell you whether it solved the problem [21:36] newubuntist: cool, please do [21:36] escott, thanks, not sure yet how to do what i want, but this seems to work, as it shows some diff when I (dis)connect headphones. man, I just love linux! [21:36] escott, it sounds like it's a problem with the alsa software though, so i should be able to reinstall it you'd think wouldn't you? how might you go about this - i tried reinstalling alsa-utils as you suggested earlier in synaptic, but that didn't do it; not quite sure what else to try, it was working fine before [21:36] wubiuser: we cannot help you with windows in this channel [21:37] janisozaur, just open the gui and you can revert the part of the diff that is disabling your speakers (you can also apply the diff with the tool iirc) [21:37] btw the problem is about installing ubuntu on windows, so it's somehow related ... [21:37] yigal : it says that build-essential is already the newest version. [21:37] wubiuser: You'll have to ask in ##windows about how to login (or at least run wubi) as an administrator. [21:37] I'm the admin, but .. [21:37] ok [21:38] right click is your friend [21:38] I'm building a test box with a SATA 160g hard drive. I can't set the boot flag on the drive, it is an OEM drive that has WIN NT, and XP on it, and it won't boot those, ideas? [21:38] can you make the launcher stay hidden by default? and only appear when you reach the edge/click ubuntu logo?

[21:40] webiuser: i saw where it said u were admin lol; i hadn't read your previous posts yet haha sorry [21:40] escott: so leave it ? could it be the boot [21:40] ironhalik, yes - if you install ccsm you can - there is a unity plug in that allows you to hide it by default [21:40] OerHeks, i m adding the ppa with apt-get. updating system anyway now... [21:40] should not be unstable. i works smoothly in another box.. [21:40] .thanks anyway [21:40] flowwwww, the "boot" over in flags doesn't mean much. its a holdover from much older hardware where stuff like that mattered [21:40] thanks aaaaalex [21:41] escott: ok would you tell me what i do with the other partitions which ones to delete which ones to change [21:41] i mean, i have several possible guis, some of them can run simultaneously or so they make you think, there is no single config file, also there are functions that overlap in default key placement for example... [21:41] flowwwww, you could also mount sdb1 and look at what is inside it, and if you decide you don't need it you could delete it but your current partition layout seems fine [21:41] Jordan_U: ok, I run wubi as admin, but I have the same error [21:41] ironhalik, n.p. while you are at it try making the launcher smaller - you may like it [21:41] sure, ill look around [21:42] flowwwww, you could install ubuntu to sdb6 as "/" and use sdb7 as swap (not sure what is on sdb6 right now) [21:42] yigal : this is the error message i have " /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [GIZA++] Error 1" [21:43] does anyone here know about installing alsamixer? thanks in advance [21:44] maco : do you have an idea ? this the erro message " /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [GIZA++] Error 1" [21:44] -xray plugin?

[22:04] how do I do to change the number of application in unity dock? [22:04] how can i list all sources using gksudo? [22:04] bfig: sorry ijust pulled that command from this web site: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-reset-unity-to-default-settings-in-ubuntu/ . but i would guess you need to log out and back in again for the changes to take effect [22:04] do I need to run a certain program to apply the changes to rc.local ? [22:05] aaaaalex, it pretty much reseted fine except i don't have the leftside bar... [22:05] Dingo: no. it just needs to be executable by root and the path needs to be correct - oh and the program of course [22:05] bfig: should be back after relog [22:06] wubiuserrr, great! [22:06] aaaaalex, I added it right before the exit 0 statement [22:06] aaaaalex, ok i'll try [22:06] Dingo, yes. this always works for me :-D [22:06] I'm trying to install google-chrome, "Ubuntu Software centre" says: Dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3 , how can I fix that?

[22:09] aaaaalex, hasn't worked. i think it has to do with ia32-libs (99% probability i'd say), which i installed yesterday to play a game... for some reason i think this overrides the proper 64bit library that should be used for unity [22:09] wubiuserrr, from my experience with past ubuntu versions i would guess that that you just pop it in your win$ and run the installer [22:09] aaaaalex, sorry, closed my command line [22:09] can someone tell me if you look at the grub.cfg file should the root entry and intrd point to the same hard drive? if you are multibooting from the ubuntu grub2 bootloader into another distro installed on another partition?

[23:00] melow01, /home/username is owned by username, /usr/ is owned by root [23:01] melow01, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html [23:01] Hi, very simple question here. In chromium, some letters show up as question marks. I think I'm missing a package somewhere. What would be the package I need to fix it? [23:02] escott, ahhh... ok, thanks for the clarification. /usr/share/audacity/ mostly contains plugins which I suppose all users would need access to anyway. [23:02] * YankDownUnder doesn't understand why folks just don't run Chrome... [23:02] melow01, yes and you cannot accidentally or intentionally modify them [23:02] computa_mike: Don't follow that guide. They use /bin/sh when in fact they're expecting a specific shell like /bin/bash or /bin/ksh. [23:03] computa_mike: Follow the guide I sent you. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:04] escott, ...unless I'm root? [23:04] Jordan_U: I was hoping to update the postinst packaging script generated by debhelper... That uses /bin/sh... So I should be using /bin/bash [23:05] melow01, yes [23:05] computa_mike: If you want to start using arrays, which are not defined in posix sh, then yes, you will need to change the #! line to #!/bin/bash. [23:06] Jordan_U: I though that sh was aliased to bash in ubuntu... [23:06] Jordan_U: Is that not right? === jmknsd is now known as jakemp [23:06] /server 192.168.1.18 8002 [23:07] computa_mike, it may be but you should reserve /bin/sh for posix compatible scripts, and bash may notice it was called as sh and drop to posix mode and complain [23:07] computa_mike: It is not right, and even if it were your scripts should not ask for /bin/sh if they're meant to be run with /bin/bash. [23:07] Hi, very simple question here. In chromium, some letters show up as question marks. I think I'm missing a package somewhere. What would be the package I need to fix it? [23:08] Jordan_U: cool - I'll be looking into arrays then :) [23:08] jaymeskeller, Mate, what's wrong with running Chrome - the native package - as opposed to running Chromium - via wine? [23:08] traceroute command as the benchmarking test? how exactly, I am sorry [23:08] Jordan_U: Thanks for thehelp [23:08] hi I bought an Alfa AWUS036H wireless card, I have 4MB bandwidth I used to download with my old car about 400kb/s now with this card is about 100kb/s what could it be it has 88% signal strenght :/ [23:09] n-iCe, Have you tried to check/config yer wifi card's settings with "sudo iwconfig wlan0" ? [23:09] YankDownUnder: It's in the Ubuntu repro, that's why. [23:10] jaymeskeller, try opening the preferences -> under the hood -> customize fonts and then select unicode utf-8 as an encoding [23:10] jaymeskeller, Just trying to make it simple, mate. Sorry. [23:11] YankDownUnder: yes are ok [23:12] n-iCe, I have a machine here in the lab that I have to force the settings in order for the machine to get proper throughput on it's wireless - ergo, I've "scripted" the settings - otherwise, the machine gets fairly poor throughput.... [23:14] anyone know why audacious stops as soon as another application, say google chrome, is opened? i had this problem before and solved it by removing pulseaudio, but i'm very hesitant to do that again because i think it may have been the reason i had to reinstall ubuntu twice. any ideas? [23:15] n-iCe, Just as an FYI, as well, I always install dnscache-run on my workstations/servers => helps to cache DNS data, which also makes the network (or workstation) run a bit "nicer" as it were. [23:15] Hey, what is linux-swap? I used gparted to make 16g of empty space on my drive then ran the installer, and now ive got a 15g ext4 partition and a 2gb linux-swap partition [23:16] adam61, Same situation basically, however, I tweaked out my swap partitions (they live on different drives) and tweaked out the sysctl.conf for better vm usage. [23:16] How can I use the remove command, rm, to remove both a directory and a file in the same command? [23:16] adam61, pulseaudio provides a software mixer. if your hardware doesn't provide a hardware mixer you will only be able to play a single stream [23:16] melow01, rm -rf filename [23:16] melow01, use the -r parameter to make it recursive [23:16] melow01, that will remove the entire directory if filename is a directory [23:17] adam61, you could check with lsof what audio devices in /dev are being used and by which processes [23:17] I have a folder with -rwxrwxr-x permissions on it, but when I mkdir inside of that folder the new folder has -rwxr-xr-x, how do I force it to inherit the parent directories permissions? [23:18] !swap [23:18] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:18] escott, ah i think that might be the problem, it's not detecting a mixer.. although it was working perfectly before, after i deleted pulseaudio... k i'll check lsof thanks [23:19] YankDownUnder: ok cool thanks.. not quite sure what a lot of that means ahha, but thanks [23:19] Thanks aaaaalex [23:19] Snicers-Work2: maybe it has to do with who owns the folder and an alias would also work [23:19] =) [23:20] Is linux-swap like windows's page file? [23:20] help [23:20] dwxreaper, what do you mean an alias would also work? [23:20] dwxreaper, and the owner is the same user that is creating the new folder. [23:20] ShaunDreclin, in many ways yes [23:21] YankDownUnder, thanks, got it [23:21] melow01, Roger that. [23:22] adam61, I haven't used audacious but I noticed some issues with audacity so I'm removing it and reinstalling. [23:22] Alright thats good, i tend to max out my ram a lot. One more question, my partitions are named sda1 sda5 and sda6, is there any way to rename them to 123? [23:22] escott, i couldn't see anything there: http://pastebin.com/uPYnBVby [23:22] adam61, I've also got a odd version of audacity so I'm reverting back to the stable release [23:22] Not really important i suppose but i know its gonna bu me [23:22] !label [23:22] To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [23:23] Thanks :D [23:23] uw [23:23] melow01, cool i've heard that's a good program - haven't used it yet myself [23:23] Oh wait its not the label, its under device name [23:24] What does the ubuntu/linux installation do to determine what drivers to load for my system, by default? Suppose I want to go back to that, how would you do that? [23:24] ShaunDreclin, the names you have will remain though i think they are assigned in the order the drives are found by the kernel [23:24] adam61, sudo lsof | grep "/dev" [23:24] ShaunDreclin: in short, no. [23:24] Ahh damn. I wonder why it went 1 5 6, what happened to 2 3 and 4 haha [23:25] ShaunDreclin, but you can uses labels or UUIDs to handle the partitions instead of the device names [23:25] Can you theme the newer GDM? [23:25] Aha, I'll do that then [23:25] escott, http://pastebin.com/LTPbp8f9 [23:25] First time using linux, this is all very alien to me~ [23:26] ShaunDreclin: in long, MSDOS-style disk layouts can have 4 primary partitions, one of which may optionally be an extended partition containing logical partitions. So, four boxes, one of which has more boxes inside it. Logical partitions are labeled starting at 5. [23:26] ShaunDreclin, welcome to free software :-D [23:26] So I have run oprofile, and I get teh following when I try to opreport after i dump the data: "No sample file found" I have a log in /var/lib/oprofile/samples/oprofiled.log which said it captured values. But nothing when I do a opreport. Whats up? [23:26] is there a way in 11.04 to get to the Places->Downloads quickly like it used to be previously? [23:26] ShaunDreclin: so sda1 is a primary partition, then you have an extended partition that contains sda5 and sda6. [23:26] Oh! Yay, now it makes sense. Thanks rww :3 [23:27] should i remove pulseaudio from my ubuntu installation? [23:27] Going off on a tangent here, but whats the difference between a primary and logical partition? [23:28] adam61, it seems pulse has the only open file. if possible see if you can get audacity to output to pulse [23:28] I need a little help I just got through running configure and got several warnings using gcc [23:28] i am trying to install an NVIDIA driver from inside a tty, but when i try 'sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux.........run' it tells me command not found, what is the correct syntax? [23:28] ShaunDreclin, its a workaround from extremely old limits that said max of 4 partitions [23:29] I recently connected my pc to the lcd tv. When I work in windows xp the pc input signal on my lcd works, however when i boot up into ubuntu, the lcd screen says: mode not supported? is there a firmware or software update that could fix this issue for ubuntu? [23:29] dusf cd /to/the/path/of/file [23:29] hello I have ubuntu 8.04. If I run an upgrade to say 10.04 will I lose my home folder, settings etc? [23:29] i have heard nothing good about pulse and it seems according to the wine guys that it is responsible for breaking audio in wine [23:29] escott, when i do that, there's no sound when i play audacious. not sure what else i'd have to change there [23:30] OerHeks: i'm already in the dir, i have it on reliable recommendation i need to use 'su' - thanks [23:30] Escott aha, i think i get it [23:30] Off to install ubuntu, thanks again for the help guys c: [23:31] hello I have ubuntu 8.04. If I run an upgrade to say 10.04 will I lose my home folder, settings etc? [23:31] !universe [23:31] merryman540: no. [23:31] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:31] 11.04 is the new one~ [23:31] merryman540, you shouldnt lose your home folder, and settings should stay, unless the program was upgraded and doesn't respect that setting [23:32] er um doesn't respect that setting????? [23:33] I using maverick 10.4 does somebody know what is going on? [23:33] I currently have a Q6600 OC'd at 4.0, perfectly stable with water cooling, 8GB of ram and a slightly OC'd GTX9800, but YT videos act weird on full screen, dunno why that'd happen on such a rig, neither I know how to get around it. Any tips? [23:33] Ok I'll upgrade and be damned ha ha ha ha. Thanks. [23:33] merryman540, if program B replaces program A, then B may not understand A's settings, so you may have some minor tweaking to do [23:33] escott, all apologies i'm an idiot, i've been testing it with my speakers off for the last ten minutes lol.. you're suggestion about switching to pulse output worked! thank you very much!! [23:33] with the lcd not being suppoted in ubuntu [23:33] how to fix the sound on this system [23:33] escott- ok thank you [23:33] Chotaz, try the flash 64bit ppa [23:34] escott, wanna walk me through that? I'm kinda enw [23:34] Chotaz, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/ [23:34] just got a thinkpad x220 with 320GB hdd + 80gb ssd, but ubuntu 11.04 just shows the hdd. aything special requirements for ubuntu to suse ssd? [23:35] crischan, depends on how the ssd is connected. does it appear in lspci [23:35] Can anyone tell a quick way to solve this please: E: Malformed line 64 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [23:36] I'm fairly sure there aren't 64 lines [23:36] escott, it's a intel mSATA ssd, and no, it doesnt show up in lspci [23:37] crischan: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [23:37] crischan, if it is SATA then it wouldn't show up anyways (There are some pci SSDs) have you checked cat /proc/partitions or sudo fdisk -l [23:38] E:Malformed line 64 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.' [23:38] merryman540, have you checked line 64 of /etc/apt/sources.list? [23:38] merryman540: you didn't put that line in your source list correctly... pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [23:39] escott, thanks, but no trace of it. [23:40] crischan, does mSATA use the same controller as SATA? or does it have its own controller? [23:40] escott, if i'd only know... i'll have to dig deeper for taht, i guess [23:41] how can i find out the VERSION of a particular package... i.e. redis-server ... . i want to know the VERSION of the software that if installed through the package manager would install. i'm debating whether to install from source or not.

[23:48] trying to install redis-server on ubuntu. the package manager says version = 2:2.0.1-2 ; yet when i install that version and do redis-server --version => Redis server version 1.3.15 ... if i want a later version is my only alternative to install from source? [23:48] KM0201, 10.3 has alot of new advanced settings box.. does it work for your case? just wondreing before i can borke my system :) [23:48] merryman540: you're gonna have a couple extra lines because of the way you copy/pasted that... so im' guessing its line 66 [23:48] thanks escott [23:48] yagoo: i've not really used any of the advanced settings [23:49] i just know its not causing my cpu to spike to 100% whenever i do anything w/ flash now (memory leak fixed) [23:49] KM0201 -so how do I disable them? # something is it? [23:49] flowbee, you could search if somebody already made a more recnet package. maybe there is a ppa for it [23:49] !ppa [23:49] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[23:50] merryman540: there's no reason to comment it out, as its not in there properly as it is, so its useless [23:50] KM0201, it supposed to offer more privacy controls which is good [23:50] merryman540, you are going to have to update all those ppa's anyways === root is now known as Guest79106 [23:50] yagoo: i guess... like i said, i've not messed w/ it [23:50] kk [23:50] escott is that sudo apt-get update??

[23:51] flowbee, ppa= personal package archive. any one can make a ppa on launchpad. [23:51] merryman540, no i mean either (a) the ppa will not be necessary, or (b) you will have to find a ppa appropriate to your new release (you were doing a dist-upgrade right) [23:51] anyway know how to completely remove an ubuntu sso account ?
