[00:00] ubuntu doesnt support btrfs ? [00:00] hase, you don't want mesa thats the software glx [00:00] #ubuntu-offtopic please ExtractBeliefs [00:00] haffi: Can you be on IRC and at the grub shell at the same time (on a different computer)? [00:00] ExtractBeliefs, sure it does, but asking which is best is -ot [00:00] ExtractBeliefs: Yes (though obviously it's experimental support). [00:00] shyould i be asking wich is worst instead ? [00:00] ExtractBeliefs, no polling here at all. [00:01] poling ? [00:01] chubber, escott what about rdesktop client? [00:01] ExtractBeliefs: If you want to use it right now the only choice is lvm. In future btrfs might become a viable alternative [00:01] well default for ubuntu is ext4 so i guess that is better [00:01] BluesKaj, that would work. i had forgotten its name [00:01] My nvidia card drivers are activated but not currently in use [00:01] Jordan_U: Yes [00:02] haffi: Ok. Please reboot to the grub shell and tell me when you are there. [00:02] hey , does anybody know if 11.04 default mount 2.17.2-9.1ubuntu4 supports discard flag for TRIM?? because in man it's not documented [00:02] hase ,have rebooted since activating ? I have to ask [00:02] hase, well don't install mesa it will just make things more complicated. can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log from /bar/log [00:02] yes i ahve rebooted several times [00:03] i do need the alternat install cd to install LVM ? [00:03] Jordan_U: I'm there [00:03] haffi: What is the output of "echo $prefix"? [00:03] ExtractBeliefs: Yes. [00:03] I see that 'nice' can help an unimportant program keep the CPU available to more important processes, and ionice can do similar for I/O scheduling; is there similar for virtual memory? For example, can I tell Ubuntu that it should be free to swap out much of a particular bloated non-time-critical process to avoid getting in the way of more important uses of that memory? [00:03] http://pastebin.com/52y9VBBq [00:03] Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu on the latest gen mac minis? A co-worker and I have been having a super tough time. [00:03] Jordan_U: (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub [00:04] Looks like /proc/sys/vm/swapiness can do that as a global setting for all processes --- but is there something similar where I can set a per-process swappiness [00:04] haffi: What is the output of "ls $prefix/grub.cfg"? [00:05] rmxz, you actually don't want that to happen. if the process is running the last thing you want it to do is have lots of page faults. nice it out, and it will run less and its pages will be later in the LRU and will get swapped [00:05] Jordan_U: grub.fg (it's there) [00:05] rmxz: not really, swappiness is as good as it gets [00:05] escott, he may not hav an xorg,conf file unless he ran nvidia-xconf [00:05] Jordan_U: And BTW there's a new version of the Boot info script results (I installed lzma) at: http://pastebin.com/LEp3sKv6 [00:05] haffi: What happens if you run "configfile $prefix/grub.cfg"? [00:05] rmxz: You can configure swappiness per cgroup: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt [00:06] anyway , time to go [00:06] I did rune nvidia-xorg [00:06] Jordan_U: The screen clears? [00:07] haffi: If you press escape do you see a menu? [00:07] I don't understand why it says direct rendering: yes but I'm stuck at 640x480 could it be because i'm using an hdtv for the monitor [00:07] hase, since there is some concern your X is loading the wrong drivers can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:07] http://pastebin.com/52y9VBBq [00:07] is windows LVM aware ? [00:07] :) [00:07] ExtractBeliefs: Wondpws knows extacly: FAT and NTFS nothing more [00:07] ExtractBeliefs, ##windows for windows questions [00:08] Jordan_U: Nope, just gives me a new input prompt in the console (grub>) [00:08] can i install ubuntu on LVM in a pre populated HDD with win 7 [00:08] ?

[00:08] ExtractBeliefs: If you have a spare partition yes, if not you need to use a partition tool [00:09] thanks Gnea that was usefull info [00:09] did I pastebin the right thing [00:09] hase, your CRT is not reporting EDID data (which describes the maximum height/width the monitor supports) and you are being dropped back to 640x480. you should be able to force a mode in your xorg.conf, the guis may be protesting in order to prevent you from breaking your monitor === earwig_ is now known as Guest33611 [00:10] hase: what video driver are you using?

[00:14] hase, see if you can find a Monitor section in there, and it should have a "Mode" or "Modeline" you could use that as a template for your desired mode [00:15] hmm [00:15] how do I get hardware acceleration to work for an nvidia card in 11.04? [00:15] haffi: Try asking in #grub. [00:15] in natty 11.04 [00:16] Jordan_U: Thanks [00:16] here is a pastebin of xorg.conf [00:16] http://pastebin.com/spUrG0hD [00:16] haffi: You're welcome.

[00:40] Hello, I installed Ruby (programming language interpreter) with: "sudo apt-get ruby". This installed Ruby 1.8.7, but I want 1.9.2. I did't find 1.9.2 in the synaptic package manager, so I downloaded the source and compiled. However, the Ruby my system has is still 1.8.7. In the folder I downloaded I execute "./ruby --version" and there it's 1.9.2. How do I replace the ruby I have installed... [00:40] ...for the new one??? Thanks! [00:41] whats the discussion? [00:41] tim___, ubuntu support [00:41] gonzalo, why do you need a new one? [00:41] ow just general support [00:41] arnotixe, have you googled your model number - that may be answered fr your laptop somewhere [00:41] bazhang: because I installed the wrong version. I have 1.8.7 but I want 1.9.2 [00:42] gonzalo, installed how [00:42] gonzalo, you dont want to just install something you downloaded. see if there is a ruby1.9 package in synaptic (i thought there way) otherwise put your downloaded ruby in /opt and prefix your $PATH to point at it [00:42] cross your fingers that my hdmi audio works after i reboot [00:42] gonzalo: http://www.web2linux.com/05/installing-rails-3-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [00:42] bazhand: sudo apt-get install ruby [00:42] gem_cat, yes it's the infamous broadcom 4312. [00:42] how do i contribute to the ubuntu art without joining a mailing list [00:42] gonzalo, how is that the wrong version [00:42] bazhang: apt-get install ruby installs ruby version 1.8.7 [00:42] tim___, check the #ubuntu-artwork channel (may not be the correct name) [00:42] arnotixe, the laptop model [00:43] bazhang: by default.

[00:44] schnuffle: to follow this guide, should I uninstall my current ruby first? If so, how? [00:44] gonzalo, thats the newest for your version of ubuntu [00:44] gem_cat, Lenovo S-10. something is wrong with the b43 driver. I just wanted to see if unloading the module that detects power unplugging helps. See, when power is plugged in, I kan rfkill it, kill it with the physical killswitch, re-enable it and so on. Still works. But when I unplug power, all fails. This used to work in 9.04... [00:44] bazhang: Is there no way to have version 1.9.2 in ubuntu? [00:44] wow, 11.04 is sweet, it actually automatically rebuilds my nvidia drivers when the kernel is updated (something i always wished happened) [00:44] I've seen something on BIOS updates, but I think I need windows to do that... [00:44] gonzalo, by breaking package management, sure. [00:45] Hello, can anybody help with with setting up svg support for ubuntu and apache2? [00:46] gonzalo: If you compiled it by your own you could use a prefix like /opt to install it there, so you can use it without interfering with your normal system [00:46] Guest90776: apache2 doesn't need svg support to host svg images... [00:46] can anybody tell me how to navegate to a different partition in the command line [00:46] arnotixe, maybe it is something simple - google the combination [00:47] Jordan_U, when I try to view the svg image through the browser, it says XML Parsing Error: not well-formed [00:48] hi all [00:48] technically it is an svgz, but both when place in the img tag show a brokenimage icon [00:48] Guest90776: add this to your apache conf AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz AddEncoding gzip svgz [00:48] any1 know how i can install gnome on backtrack5 ? [00:48] Guest90776: And if you try to just open the svg file in the browser? [00:48] WeSSaM_, thats not supported here [00:49] WeSSaM_, #backtrack-linux [00:49] schnuffle: I'm very confused. I opened synaptic package manager and searched for "ruby 1.9.2" and I get two results: 1) "ruby" which shows as installed and says it's version 1.8.X in the description. 2) "ruby1.9.1", which also shows as installed, but which says 1.9.2 in the description. However, in a terminal, "ruby --version" returns "1.8.7". Any thoughts on this? [00:49] oh thanx bazhang [00:49] WeSSaM_, backtrack is not supported here go there #backtrack-linux and good luck with that [00:49] when I add those to the .htaccess file I get the following... Content Encoding Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. [00:50] gonzalo: check id you have more than one ruby binary in your system: locate ruby | grep bin [00:50] WeSSaM_, i would suggest pento myself [00:50] this is in Firefox 4.0 fyi [00:51] gem_cat, yep I've googled quite a bit last weeks. And tried lots of stuff. But it keeps failing. So, is it possible to make the kernel NOT figure out when power is unplugged?

[00:56] schnuffle, no I'm sorry... then it says XML Parsing Error: not well-formed [00:56] Guest90776: but your image is right and you can see it when you open it with a image viewer?

[01:09] thanks [01:10] Not replacing deleted config file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf [01:10] gonzalo: It install correctly, just do a sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.9 /usr/bin/ruby or use update-alternatives as I told you to create the link [01:10] tophu: its in there somewhere [01:10] mhalligan: Hmm..perhaps dpkg --configure is what you want? [01:10] how do i format an SD card [01:10] Cube``, mkfs should suffice [01:10] @kuwanger: dpkg: error processing rsyslog (--configure): [01:10] package rsyslog is already installed and configured [01:10] that doesn't work [01:11] Guest90776: Can IE show the compressed svg locally? [01:11] gonzalo, just add a symlink in /usr/bin from ruby to ruby1.9.1 [01:11] schnuffle: ok, I'll try the "ln", since the update alternatives gives me: "no alternatives for ruby" [01:11] where in the world can I find declaration of struct _GMutex ? [01:11] Anyone else getting sound drops and program crashes with natty and VLC? [01:11] when I run into this problem I usually just say screw it and rebuild the image, but I can't do that this time [01:11] DK_2, - I've had odd sound behaviour with VLC, since I upgraded ubuntu to 11.04 [01:11] schnuffle, no [01:12] Guinness2702: ive read about choppy sound on vlc recently [01:12] DK_2, yeah, I get that [01:12] can anybody help with my mousepad. it just stopped working [01:13] DK_2, workaround I found is to go into VLC's audio preferences, and it fixes it [01:13] but i have to do it every time [01:13] :( [01:13] anyone know x11 in ssh any? [01:14] ok so how do I install this? [01:14] !anyone | morgan [01:14] morgan: 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. [01:14] Guinness2702: if you open vlc, with the icon for it, without media, and change the settings, then close vlc, they stay on those settings forever [01:14] DK_2, Does that fix the problem? [01:14] I don't have to change any settings, just open the config [01:14] i havent played with the audio settings yet [01:14] schuffle: it did't work well. I did "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 /usr/bin/ruby", which returned: "ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/ruby': File exists". However, "which ruby" returned nothing... [01:15] tophu, ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [01:15] Anyone know how to install a 11.04 package in 10.04 LTS ?? [01:15] schnuffle: it didn't work well. I did "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 /usr/bin/ruby", which returned: "ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/ruby': File exists". However, "which ruby" returned nothing... [01:15] I can use X11 over ssh if I start the server with -X, but I've set ForwardX11 yes in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, but it won't work by default (after reboot) [01:15] yea I don't see instructions in the wiki [01:15] Guinness2702, you dont [01:15] help me with my mousepad. it doesn't work [01:15] Guinness2702: to test that out ill have ta play a media file for a while, so testing is gonna take a little while [01:15] tophu, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:15] gonzalo: first you have of course tell it that you want to manage alternatives of ruby: sudp update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ruby ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 1 [01:15] notyourname: you mean on a laptop? [01:15] @notyourname: buy a new one [01:15] mhalligan: Well, the hack solution is to just extract the config file manually and copy it to the right place. :/ [01:15] gonzalo: What is the output of "ls -l /usr/bin/ruby"? [01:15] yes [01:15] notyourname, thats not an ubuntu issue [01:15] bazhang, So the only way I can upgrade the version of something on 10.04 is to do it manually? [01:16] mhalligan: well, they *ought* to be idempotent. check all the "force" options in man dpkg. confmiss/confdef. If all else fails, you could edit the package out of /var/lib/dpkg/status and retry (make a backup of the file first) [01:16] Guinness2702, upgrade what [01:16] so what do i do [01:16] tophu: do you know how to use synaptic? [01:16] Jordan_U: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2011-05-20 20:12 /usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/bin/1.9.1" [01:16] gonzalo: then check: ls -l /usr/bin/ruby [01:16] mhalligan: It'd seem dpkg itself supports a --force-confmiss, but I don't know how to make dpkg reinstall a package. [01:16] schnuffle: doing the update alternatives now... [01:17] bazhang, mythtv backend - my server is 10.04, but my desktop is 11.04 - the versions that come with them are incompatible - I don't want to upgrade the server, just to get the latest mythtv backend :( [01:17] gonzalo: And the output of "ls -l /usr/bin/1.9.1"? [01:17] I got it I had syn open on another desktop that's why my sudo apt-get install failed :-( [01:17] Guinness2702, I'd ask in #ubuntu-mythtv honestly [01:17] thanks guys ^_^ [01:17] schnuffle: "update-alternatives: --install needs " [01:17] gonzalo: Wait... That should be /usr/bin/*ruby*1.9.1 [01:17] gonzalo: wait, don't hurry. You should try to understand what you are doing otherwise you'll get stucked with a damaged system sooner or later [01:18] Jordan_U: going... [01:18] bazhang, I'll try there, but I was hoping to do cleanly with packages - i.e. it's not really a mythtv problem, but an ubuntu/package problem - i.e. I want to force 10.04 to use a 11.04 package :\ [01:18] gonzalo: Run "sudo rm -i /usr/bin/ruby" then make the symbolic link properly. [01:18] Guinness2702, thats unsupported and will break things. [01:18] Jordan_U: "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5460 2010-11-02 17:48 /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1" [01:18] mhalligan: Hmm.. Well, it'd seem as simple as dpkg --force-confmiss -i /var/cache/apt/archives/rsyslog-* [01:19] Is it possible to get my phone to transmit audio to my laptop over bluetooth? [01:19] Jordan_U: ok [01:19] Guinness2702, the whole point of packages is to track the dependencies, so it wants to pull in the rest of the system [01:19] ubuntu is unable to detect the cdrom from my laptop...what can I do to overcome this problem? [01:19] Make symbolic link properly would be: "ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 /usr/bin/ruby" ?? [01:20] what if I have solaric partition and boot in to ubuntu-liveCD will it use this partition as a swap autimatically ? [01:20] m_tadeu, my prob is similar I think - you are trying to mount a data cd? [01:21] m_tadeu, is it a particular cd or all cds? [01:21] hola all [01:21] schnuffle: oh my, I think the update alternatives worked [01:22] m_tadeu: what does dmesg | egrep -i 'cd|dvd' say? [01:22] brb gotta reboot to test this I think [01:22] Ken: if you find anything, post a link! [01:22] Jordan_U - my ssh query: I can use X11 over ssh if I start the server with -X, but I've set ForwardX11 yes in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, but it won't work by default (after reboot) [01:22] schnuffle: i was missing the "1" at the end (the priority, i guess). now "which ruby" returns "ruby 1.9.2p0" [01:22] escott, there is no entry in fstab for the cd - and the rules for making one have changed in natty [01:22] m_tadeu: your BIOS is reading from the harddrive before the cd-rom. at bootup press either "f2 - f10 - del" to enter bios and change and save settings" [01:23] gonzalo: fine, and you could have done it without uninstalling the default version :). Next time you'll know [01:23] gem_cat, generally you dont want an entry in fstab, leave it out and gnome-volume-manager should auto-mount the partition [01:23] schnuffle: yes, good to know. thanks a lot for your help! [01:23] gonzalo: your welcome [01:23] gem_cat, escott I'm not even trying to mount....it doesn't show up in /dev/cdrom [01:23] morgan: there's also X11Forwarding in /etc/sshd_config. You might need that too on the server side... [01:24] m_tadeu, what about /dev/dvd [01:24] whenever I click on a mpeg or ogg video file firefox crashes!!! why? [01:24] escott: not there either [01:24] it happens without exception! [01:25] m_tadeu, do you know what kind of cd/dvd drive this is, and how it is connected? eide or sata? [01:25] hey guys [01:25] anybody talk here? [01:26] Loshki - both options set to yes, reboot server and try to get in and I have errors.. [01:26] escott, in the previous version you stuck in a cd and it mounted - natty doesnt [01:26] !anyone | mark__ [01:26] mark__: 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. [01:26] mark__, ubuntu support question? [01:26] escott: I changed it to eide now in the bios, just to check...don't know which drive it is [01:26] morgan: what kind of errors? [01:26] is this just for help? [01:26] mark__, yes [01:26] ah i see [01:26] m_tadeu, changed it in the bios? what were your options? [01:26] same errors I get unless I start ssh with the -X option from commandline on server [01:26] gem_cat, what is the output of groups? [01:27] mark: if you have a question, just ask. If you want to gossip, try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:27] mark__: might try /join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:27] guys whenever I ask a question in ubuntu noones answer me, I'm really dissappointed. my firefox crashes whenever I click on a video file like mpeg,... and nobody wants to help me [01:27] escott: ide mode or ahci mode [01:27] mithridates: Maybe nobody can? [01:27] adm disk dialout cdrom audio plugdev netdev lpadmin admin sambashare [01:27] Loshki - same errors I get unless I start ssh with the -X option from commandline on server [01:27] m_tadeu, you should be fine with either [01:28] @loshki I'm thinking the guys who write dpkg/apt/aptitude have never bothered looking up the definition of idemptoency. rpm --no-deps --reinstall package, bam I'm done in 3 seconds. *rage* [01:28] escott: I'm not happy with neither of them :) [01:28] m_tadeu, check the output of dmesg | egrep -i "CD|DVD" [01:28] schnuffle: that's another question... [01:28] mithridates: which version of Firefox? [01:29] Help! Due to a power failure, my computer shut down half way while booting through Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It won't boot now and displays a bunch of errors :( It's the same even in Recovery mode. [01:29] schnuffle: 4.0.1 [01:30] so how do i fix my mousepad on laptop [01:30] escott, the ownership of cdrom in media is root root [01:30] mhalligan: something like dpkg -i --force-depends . Sorry I'm not handier with dpkg.... [01:30] schnuffle: http://tinyurl.com/3gbnfjf this is the crash report [01:31] escott: new advancement....on boot, the cdrom is there...as soon as I touch the eject button(which doesnt do anything), it sudenly disapeers from /dev [01:31] escott: before that, eject cdrom works fine [01:31] gem_cat, i would remove the folder in /media, remove the entry from fstab and if that doesn't work try udisks --monitor-detail [01:32] do doubt the ownership in /dev matches the cdrom entry [01:32] mithridates: have you installed the vlc plugin? [01:32] schnuffle: I'm not sure, but I guess yes. let me see [01:32] m_tadeu, so `eject cdrom` works, but the eject button messes things up [01:32] morgan: I'm confused about which is client and which is server. Note you have 4 separate pieces of config to worry about: ssh_config and sshd_config on both client and server... [01:32] escott: in deed [01:32] Loshki, sshd is the server config [01:32] test [01:32] I downloaded a game. Its an .exe. I have wine, but it won't open. I'm using xubuntu 10.10. Error: "The file '/home/user/.opera/temporary_downloads/LuxorSetup.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.

[01:33] !permissions | Kevin_Flynn [01:33] Kevin_Flynn: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:33] kevin, make it executable [01:33] Kevin_Flynn: chmod +x FILE.exe [01:34] if its in home u can right click on it and check mark as executable [01:34] m_tadeu, and dmesg doesn't show anything for the event that lead to the removal of the /dev/cdrom device file [01:34] Help! Due to a power failure, my computer shut down half way while booting through Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It won't boot now and displays a bunch of errors :( It's the same even in Recovery mode. [01:34] did dpkg deprecate the --reinstall flag or something? [01:34] Whisky_, what errors [01:34] escott, Whisky_ : but do you need to chmod for using wine on exe? [01:34] what happened to /var/log/messages? [01:34] when i tried 11.04 it disappeared [01:35] syockit: I wouldn't know about that. Sorry. Try copying the exe file to .wine directory in your home directory and then wine ~/.wine/FILE.exe~ [01:35] syockit, you have to do that for bash scripts as well. you could call it by `wine program.exe` [01:35] mhalligan: --reinstall is an apt-get flag, not dpkg... [01:36] Loshki - you're right, I've been editing ssh_config for the server (pointless), just opened sshd_config, pretty sure I got it from here, cheers. [01:36] escott: I don't recall right now as I'm Dual booting with windows on the same PC. Is there anyway to run a restore or something? I'm sick of Ubuntu crashing on me everytime. That is why I moved from 11.04 back to 10.04 LTS hoping it'd be stabler [01:36] aptitude -o DPkg::Options="--force-confmiss" reinstall rsyslog eventually did it. [01:36] morgan: hope so... [01:36] escott: I usually do not have to chmod +x on .sh file to sh it. [01:36] thanks for the help veryone, I'm going to go track down the dpkg maintainers and tattoo the word idempotence on their genitals. [01:37] Whisky_, use your install cd/livecd [01:37] escott: Assuming I do boot with the livecd, what do I do? :( [01:38] Whisky_, fix the errors you haven't described to us :) [01:38] thanks [01:39] Kevin_Flynn: if you tried to open it from within opera, it will open using the default associated program, but I don't think wine is the first associated. maybe you use a file browser (like nautilus. open Places) to go to the folder (.opera is hidden, hit ctrl-H to show hidden files/folders) and right click LuxorSetup.exe and select open with Wine [01:40] syockit, i believe the natty version of wine may be configured to respect the executable flag for security reasons [01:41] I got it, thanx guys. Permissions are the most anoying thing about Ubuntu. [01:41] ull get used to it [01:42] they are there for a purpose [01:42] Kevin_Flynn, trigger locks are the most annoying thing about guns ;) [01:42] think of windows and viruses how easy they are to run [01:42] escott, can't kill anyone with an OS. [01:42] guys [01:42] why does grub2 not show a menu even if there is set timeout=10? [01:42] why the heck are you even talking about computers. the world ends today [01:43] what [01:43] irs not 2012 yet [01:43] lol [01:43] donkey bull! [01:43] the internet is its own world [01:43] GoGi2, i think if you have only one boot option it skips the menu [01:44] it should still show a menu [01:44] GoGi2 paste ur menu.lst [01:45] !grub2 | GoGi2 sudokill [01:45] GoGi2 sudokill: 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) [01:45] GoGi2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Initial%20Default [01:46] my bad, im on grub 1 [01:48] escott, very interesting - it sees it but there was never an entry in fstab - isnt that required [01:49] gem_cat, no you DONT want an entry in fstab. the existence of an entry in fstab tells the userspace mounting daemon that you want to manage the mountpoint and NOT to automout it [01:49] well my fstab is as it was born - no entry [01:50] gem_cat, i think your problem was the existence of a folder in /media with the name of the mountpoint it would have chosen, but with root ownership === roaming is now known as INFURNO [01:50] escott: tail -f /var/log/messages gets me this http://pastebin.com/zbXpEAVa [01:50] will the automount make an entry or do I need to adjust the ownership [01:51] gem_cat, it will make its own folder. i think the presence of that folder is confusing it [01:51] ok - is gone [01:52] m_tadeu, this sounds like some kind of hardware issue with either your motherboard or your cd drive [01:53] how do I run wireshark gtk under natty? I tried adding gksu to the menu shortcut [01:53] m_tadeu, you could put tape over the eject button :) [01:53] ShermanBoyd, gksu wireshark no ? [01:54] ShermanBoyd, mm I havet tried .. are you on Unity or calssic? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [01:54] escott: :):):) [01:54] classic [01:54] gksu wireshark [01:54] that's a cut and paste from my properties [01:54] ShermanBoyd, don't you want gksudo? [01:54] ShermanBoyd: gksudo wireshark [01:55] oh wait ... it worked this time [01:55] how to install udp packet reflector on ubuntu? what is the name of the application? [01:55] ShermanBoyd, phew,, I was just about to install wireshark to test :) [01:55] escott, no significant behavior here - maybe I should reboot [01:55] at least it asked for the pass [01:55] SuperLag, iptables? === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:55] gem_cat, or use the udisks --monitor-detail === dhfhsdfh is now known as m00se [01:56] with ip tables i can do udp reflector?

[01:57] gem_cat, well thats the problem. not sure how to fix it though [01:57] shows mount path blank [01:57] hmm gksudo seems to work! [01:58] Where is the option to disable "force maximize"? ANYONE? [01:58] escott: thanks! [01:58] superman097, did you see this? http://majuric.org/software/udpfwd/ [01:58] escott, what is normal for natty? should it be mounting the cd [01:58] ShermanBoyd, remember gksudo is sudo, gksu is su, su asks for the root password and there is none [01:59] right [01:59] now I get it [01:59] In Ubuntu 11.04, I've gone to "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the terminal and unchecked "Enable the menu shortcut key" and "Enable menu access keys". Even so, pressing F10 within the terminal is summoning the menu rather than passing that sequence through to the curses app I'm running. What else do I need to do? [01:59] gem_cat, well it should be detecting the insertion, which generates events in udisk and that triggers mounting or the media player popup depending on what kind of disk [01:59] maybe I have a hw prob - I can check on that [02:00] * nDuff finds that this is bug #750700 [02:00] Launchpad bug 750700 in unity (Ubuntu) "Unity Compiz plugin captures F10 for menu even when explicitly disabled in gnome-terminal (dup-of: 726639)" [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/750700 [02:00] Launchpad bug 726639 in unity (Ubuntu) "F10 is captured even if gnome-terminal setting is explictly set to not capture" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/726639 [02:00] thanks for talking to me escott [02:00] gem_cat, np. goodluck finding the issue [02:00] I know I can figure it out eventually [02:00] I cannot navigate into ~/.gvfs anymore.

[02:16] sw0rdfish, it allows you to open a file as root user to edit it,, especially .xml since if you try to just click to open it will be uneditable [02:16] Im having a problem connecting to my router with wpa, it works on some routers and then with others it just keeps asking for the password [02:16] sw0rdfish, it's sudo for graphical apps like gedit etc [02:16] how do I figure out what opengl driver X is using? I believe it's using the wrong one. my symptom is that glxinfo and every other opengl application freeze and have to be force killed.

[02:22] the package was removed in natty, and I can't find a wireless kernel driver backported module package or a compat-wireless package for natty [02:23] and the wireless drivers included in the stock ubuntu kernel with natty also don't work well with my wireless card, same as with maverick. i'm out of ideas. at least it worked okay with the backported modules in maverick. i'm not really sure how those drivers didn't either get folded into natty or put into a new package for natty.

[02:54] o wrong channel, i thought this was #slackware, I really don't know shit about ubuntu [02:55] ... [02:55] mikeru: search for a synaptics trackpad multitouch bug in launchpad. I recently found asolution for exactly what you're talking about, a regression changing the right click/middle click behavior that didn't involve installing new drivers [02:55] slack-m, ah ok but here you meant to say,,, "I really dont't know caca about ubuntu" :) [02:55] slack-m, its a family channel :) [02:55] sammy, in natty it uses evdev [02:56] mikeru: then it might be the same solution for everyone. [02:56] coz_, ah, whoops, sorry ;] [02:56] slack-m, :) no biggies [02:56] mikeru: give me a minute to see if actually uncommenting the backport repositories in natty helps me find the backported kernel modules [02:56] sammy, it also appears that I'm the only one who suffers from this dilemma, I've googled for this bug and I've never found anything [02:56] mikeru, hey, synclient? [02:57] mikeru, what is it thats not working? [02:57] slack-m, it uses evdev [02:57] is it not working at all? [02:57] mikeru, i know that [02:57] slack-m, for some reason, two finger tap is acting like middle button instead of right click [02:57] mikeru, synclient still applies [02:57] synclient [02:57] mikeru, synclient -l [02:58] mikeru, 'synclient -l' [02:58] slack-m, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/610895/ [02:58] I'm running a script on Ubuntu that is supposed to run on 256MB RAM Ubuntu 10.10 servers.

On the other server however, I keep getting "OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" I am threading multiple instances of subprocess.Popen (about seven instances at a time) What's wrong? [02:58] note that I'm using it on a MacBook, so that might as well be the MacBook's trackpad [02:59] mikeru, well synaptics driver seems to be reading [02:59] look at those options [02:59] see if you can find one that looks wrong [02:59] for the operation your looking for [03:00] slack-m, also, if that is from the MacBook's internal trackpad (which I believe it is, that one does use synaptic as it's an old, pre-multitouch trackpad) [03:00] GatorAlli: I'm guessing somehow they aren't actually identical. I'd start by trying to find out the differnce between the server it runs properly on an the server it doesn't. [03:00] uhmm, slack-m, I'm 100% sure that is from the MacBook internal trackpad [03:00] when i upgraded my slackware laptop i had to change it from two finger scroll to sidepad scroll [03:00] mikeru, you have more than one trackpad? [03:00] im lost bro [03:01] anyway, the macbook internal trackpad sucks, it moves really weird diagonally like _| instead of / [03:01] slack-m, hahaha yes I do [03:01] um [03:01] where....... [03:01] nvm [03:01] and apparently the linux kernel bleeding edge wireless page says that an ubuntu team has maintained a package called linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless, but there isn't one listed for natty, nor do I find one in the repositories. hm. bug filing time, I dont' know where else to go [03:01] slack-m, yeah I know everyone tells me that [03:02] sammy: use tab complete [03:02] slack-m, plus the fact that I also have a Magic Mouse... so sad no application seems to use multitouch gestures yet on linux :( [03:04] mikeru, well [03:04] ok [03:04] i can tell you how to do it i think [03:04] slack-m, well [03:04] how ? [03:05] when i run "free", i see no swap memory [03:05] Swap: 0 0 0 [03:05] danbhfive1: to find the package? it doesn't exist.

[03:06] mikeru, ahhhhhhh [03:06] slack-m, ohhhh [03:06] sammy: on the commandline type this: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-[tab][tab] [03:06] slack-m, the MacBook's internal trackpad, well, it's internal [03:06] yea [03:06] i figured that [03:07] tapple: remove xorg's as well [03:07] I used to be able to save flash videos by looking in /tmp for a file named FlashXXXX, but not in recent versions of Ubuntu or with recent versions of flash. Where can I find these temporary files now? [03:08] slack-m, haha [03:08] tapple: make sure you have xorg vesa installed so that it can fallback [03:08] mikeru, can you figure out which /dev/input/event it is on? dmesg/syslog/messages? [03:08] am not sure how to do either the things you said syockit [03:08] balleyne_, i like firebug plugin for things like that, you can isolate the stream in the browser and save it off [03:09] escott: hmm, didn't know about that one [03:09] Hello!

[03:10] Well, I'm curious as to what the 'Act: 1' means in the status bar. . . [03:11] fglrx is the proprietary driver. I just have the fallback drivers installed right now, and am running using them [03:11] balleyne_: I heard that flash deletes the files right away, so they don't appear in the filesystem, but still exist for programs that already have the file open [03:11] sammy: sorry was afk, no can't find anything related to your card [03:12] what's the command to show all peripherals (usb ports, infra-red devices, etc)? [03:12] piboytravis: it means there are additional messages on that window (alt+1 to go see them) [03:12] sammy: except this but it's not even related to yours http://askubuntu.com/questions/37409/why-is-my-internet-so-slow-with-an-atheros-wireless-card [03:12] slack-m: AFAIK I have seen it before, appearing as Apple Wireless Trackpad, but I can't seem to find it neither on dmesg nor /var/log/Xorg.0.log (I believe I once saw it there...)

Blah. [03:13] HTML 5 will (hopefully) make Flash a thing of the past.

Just switched to Natty Narwhal... [03:13] and fun, too! [03:14] tapple: by the way what version of Ubuntu is this? xorg-driver-fglrx is not on natty, so it could be a deb produced by the propr driver [03:14] I am building a new system, and was wondering what was more important for speed, one 2 core cpu and three GPU cards. or 2 4 core CPUs and one GPU card. [03:14] 10.04 [03:14] MaRk-I: thats okay, i'm looking into this -net package, but I think it may just be wired ethernet drivers, not wireless drivers. i'm finding a list of included drivers now. [03:14] tapple: it's registered in dpkg, so when that's messed up, fun happens [03:14] Wakko10Warner: depends what for and the specifications of the hardware [03:14] MaRk-I: I did hear complaints of it being slow, and also frequent disconnects/reconnects. I'll check out tha tpage and see if the backported net driver package has wireless drivers as well [03:14] Wakko10Warner: depends on how much you're going to push the GPU(s). [03:15] tapple: you didn't remove it by yourself right? it was not there all along, right? [03:15] I was just wondering in General. [03:15] sammy: ok, good luck [03:15] I am going to use it was a web and boinc server. [03:15] Wakko10Warner, ya what are you going to be doing with it? for gaming, get more GPUs; for crunching non-visual data get the CPUs [03:16] Wakko10Warner, go with the CPUs [03:16] ok, litropy thank you. [03:16] syockit: I tried removing fglrx once, but I was stupidly running on X while I uninstalled the driver, so I locked up the computed mid-uninstall, and had to kill the computer and reboot [03:16] hey, i try to setup conky on ubuntu natty with classic gnome and compiz. it either is a movable window on top of others or makes the nautilus icons disappear on every refresh. any suggestions? [03:16] and this is the result [03:17] Wakko10Warner, Graphical Processing Unit; Central Processing Unit. [03:17] tapple: oh drats. try removing both fglrx and xorg-driver-fglrx at once and see if it budges [03:17] I heard that Graphical Processing Units can be used for supercomputing and parallel processing ... [03:17] Wakko10Warner: google CUDA [03:17] Wakko10Warner, They are [03:18] Wakko10Warner, Multiple processors (graphical or otherwise) are by definitely parallel. They are used for super computers [03:18] gizmobay: That all sounds normal. In Ubuntu you need to hold shift during boot to see the grub menu and also in Ubuntu grub is configure to set a flag, recordfail=1, which is stored in /boot/grub/grubenv and is cleared on a successfull boot. If booting isn't successfull (like when you pull the plug before /etc/init.d/grub-common is run and clears the recordfail flag) then the timeout is disabled in the grub menu. [03:18] Wakko10Warner: GPUs can be used for supercomputing, but there are only useful for certain typer of processing/data. [03:19] Wakko10Warner: it's offtopic to talk about that in #ubuntu, you are welcome to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic. by the way, GPU aren't meant for general purpose computing in the first place [03:19] I need to learn more about what type to see what I need more of. [03:19] syockit: the status of xorg-driver-fglrx in aptitude is pB.

But if you're leaning more toward web hosting, still get the CPUs [03:22] tapple: what does aptitude suggest? [03:22] I don't think BOINC would be able to take advantage of GPU processing. [03:22] litropy: thank you. I may end up with two systems, one for web hosting and the other for BOINC [03:23] syockit: it suggests I keep fglrx [03:24] Wakko10Warner, just a note, I'm no expert on using GPUs for alternative purposes. You should do some research on BOINC and GPU processing before you decide to drop the cash. [03:25] escott, it was a hardware prob - 2 dif brands of ide/sata converter orient opposite to each other [03:25] I will ask the projects I am doing what I should do. [03:25] Wakko10Warner, very good idea. [03:26] tapple: can you try removing both? (I predict it will fail as one package can't uninstall because the divert is owned by another, and vice versa) [03:27] hmm. I think aptitude just tried downgrading fglrx [03:27] bullcan I get an equalizer for my youtube videos (for the audio) I have pulseaudio but no equalizer. 10.04 [03:28] xorg-driver-fglrx is cleanly uninstalled, according to fglrx, and the error persists [03:28] according to dpkg, I mean [03:28] OK, irssi is showing a little '+i' next to my nick in the statusbar. I didn't set myself as invisible, is it in irssi default? [03:29] how do i fix this error? srst failed (errno=-16) [03:29] tripelb: For a more fine-tuned mixer, I often recommend using either alsamixer (CLI) or GNOME Alsa Mixer. What you have available on the mixer (in terms of EQ) depends on the capabilities of your sound card/adapter. [03:30] (I think my 13-year-old Sound Blaster Live and 10-year-old SB Audigy still offer more options than the typical HDA.) [03:31] DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) - i get this error when trying to access shared public folders in 11.04 [03:31] i changed nothing, and one day i got srst failed (errno=-16). please help [03:31] tapple: hmm, so xorg-driver-fglrx only shows up as "p" in your aptitude? this time, what does dpkg say about fglrx? [03:34] how do i solve "srst failed (errno=-16)"? [03:34] syockit: dpkg -l lists fglrx as rH, and xorg-driver-fglrx as un [03:35] how can I tell if my ethernet is connected at 100mbit or gbit from the terminal? [03:36] is it part of the ifconfig -all ouptut? [03:36] what happens when i answer the spam check incorrectly? [03:36] syockit: if I install xorg-drivers-fglrx, it installs fglrx as well, and they both list as ii in dpkg -l [03:38] tapple: no divert problem there? now try reuninstalling [03:38] ira_gershwin: if by that you mean ifconfig -a, I don't see it. [03:38] please help me to get rid of this error message, "srst failed (errno=-16)" [03:39] syockit: uninstalling causes an error again. aptitude lists fglrx as HpA and xorg-drivers-fglrx as pB [03:39] psion: well i guess the good news is that it'll only come up if you have a local connection at 1 Gbps, and then you'll be able to tell by how long it takes! [03:39] tapple: I'm not familiar with H flag. let me check the man [03:40] @psion: ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed [03:40] aw someone had a real answer [03:40] whats ubuntu unregged? [03:40] syockit: I think it means half-installed [03:40] (shakes fist at god) [03:40] walllable, it's an anti bot system [03:40] kalon33: thanks :) [03:40] dpkg -l and aptitude don't list the same status codes [03:41] what happens if i answer incorrectly accidenly? [03:41] where should I put the setkeycodes command? [03:41] tapple: correct. you may need to hack the dpkg post.rm scripts for the packages [03:41] walllable, I didn't try but you wouldn't be allowed to join #ubuntu [03:41] forever? [03:42] walllable, if your nickname is registered, you only have to do this one time [03:42] ok. [03:42] walllable, no, it would be too much ! [03:42] syockit: where would those be? [03:42] tapple: or if you can find a way to remove the diverts, then dpkg can continue with its work [03:42] I don't know what a divert is [03:42] ok, i need some help [03:43] it's not a symlink, is all I've been able to tell, as no such file by that name is on my system [03:43] when i created ubuntu 10.10 user account it as user pw:user but i created a new user in users and groups and i want to delete user and use my new user account [03:45] I want to get involved wit the helping and implementation of Touch [03:45] How can I do that? [03:45] implementing and testing.. [03:45] tapple: in /var/lib/dpkg, there are various configuration files for dpkg. the preinstallation and removal script (or triggers) are in /var/lib/dpkg/info [03:46] when i created ubuntu 10.10 user account it as user pw:user but i created a new user in users and groups and i want to delete user and use my new user account [03:47] ok. I did sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and now am able to remove fglrx [03:47] tapple: nicely done! [03:47] good night all, see you ! [03:47] tapple: I was about to do it the hard way: editing /var/lib/dpkg/diversions [03:48] tapple: and I wonder if that would work in the end. [03:48] tapple: okay, now you can resume installing the proprietary drivers. but where did fglrx come from in the first place? [03:49] tapple: oh right, you installed while in X. okay never mind [03:50] ok, can someone please help me with this issue [03:50] syockit: actually, I'm trying to install the open source driver on suggestion from someone in #radeon, and I was stuck removing the proprietary driver, fglrx [03:51] tapple: ah okay. never mind [03:51] amd64: yeah you're no longer here, but maybe you have problem with your ATA [03:51] hi im looking for some help installing ubuntu and im having blinking cursor problems using usb install === dhfhsdfh is now known as m00se === m00se is now known as `mOOse` === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:52] hellz, which version [03:52] 11.04 [03:52] it wouldnt even start grub [03:53] im downloading the alternate installer right now to see if that works [03:53] based on everything i read on forums and stuff the problem seems to be the grpahics card [03:53] hellz, what type is your computer [03:53] intel chipset with nvidia vid [03:53] its a laptop btw [03:54] laptop MODEL?

[04:15] is there a particular command i can use to reset username/pass? [04:16] omgxfire: you can boot in recovery mode from grub, and that'll put you in single-user mode as root. then you can use setpwd or something [04:16] omgxfire, not really, you need to log in whit root powers [04:16] ATM, it ignores case [04:16] I don't like that behavior [04:16] I have a system that when I connect to tells me that 17 packages can be upgrades, 12 are security patches. I do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it tells me that I have none to do - what's going on here [04:17] can i use "adduser admin && passwd admin" ? [04:17] how do you perform a proper driver check? to make sure your device has all the right drivers [04:21] ecinx: what device are you trying to determine is working? [04:21] nawk: there's an --ignore-case flag mentioned in the 'less' man page you should probably look at... [04:22] Loshki I don't want to ignore case [04:22] mostly touch screen [04:22] does the touch screen respond? [04:24] ecinx: If touching the screen responds, then it's working... otherwise it's not [04:24] Hello. Can someone give me some insight. My 60 GB laptop running the newest version of Ubuntu is reporting I only have 3 GB of disk space left. How is this possible when I only have about 6 GB of documents and pictures on my computer? I've already run BleachBit which freed up about 2GB. What else can I do to free more disk space? [04:24] nawk: I mention it because in my man page it says: "if a pattern contains uppercase letters, then that search does not ignore case."... [04:24] it responds but not correctly [04:24] it acts like my finger is a mouse [04:24] but when i look at my hand it looks like a finger (sarcasm) [04:25] ecinx: then your touch screen is working, the drivers are setup to act like a mouse [04:25] in otherwords its almost useless. no scrolling or anything .. and no multi touch [04:25] however with Xournal the Pen input works perfectly [04:25] ecinx: you might have to do some google searching for your model of your device [04:26] i've done so for days [04:26] Anyone got any thoughts regarding my question on how to free more disk space? === derp is now known as Zalgo [04:26] ecinx: touch displays is relatively new for linux, driver support is very limited [04:26] mlmg317-himts, how big are the various partitions currently [04:26] when I had natty alpha kubuntu it worked much better [04:27] bazhang: I don't think my drive is partitoned. I completely wiped Windows. I am only running Ubuntu. [04:27] however, this is a clean install of 11.04 Unity [04:27] mlmg317-himts, so a huge / partition then?

[04:29] mlmg317-himts, the config files matter to you or not [04:30] bazhang: K - why would they matter to anyone? [04:30] mlmg317-himts, do they matter to you or not [04:31] bazhang: By the way, I just refreshed the Disk Usage Analyzer - and now it is saying (after I ran BleachBit) - that there is close to 40GB available now. I can't believe I didn't find a program like BleachBit and run it sooner - cleaning out all the crap ... Config files probably do matter to me to some degree - depending on which applications they are for ... [04:33] mlmg317-himts, the guide at the link given should hold on to those, may as well save it all then clean out as you have finished moving home to its own partition if you go that route [04:34] ye haw === sbell_ is now known as sbell [04:34] bazhang: How does putting your home directory onto a separate partition solve the problem of disk space? If you have a 60 GB hard drive, for example - you might partition it into 40-20. I don't see the difference. Can you explain? [04:35] mlmg317-himts, you likely would never fill a 20gb / [04:35] my 11.04 appears to be stuck in some form of fullscreen mode only. I can't resize or move windows. How do I disable this feature. [04:35] mlmg317-himts, and in future if you want to clean install, then you can do so, knowing that /home is protected [04:36] bazhang: I see. That makes sense. I will think about this option, then. I just can't believe that BleachBit removed about 38 GB disk space. WOW. So how do I do a clean install while protecting / ? [04:36] * unkmar lies. I don't have a 11.04 or ubuntu. but my cousin does. [04:37] bazhang: Do you have a link or something I can use and bookmark? [04:37] mlmg317-himts, protecting /home , not / ; / will be wiped completely [04:37] !home | mlmg317-himts same link as before [04:37] mlmg317-himts same link as before: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [04:37] mlmg317-himts: which means any specifics set in /etc are also wiped.

[05:05] julian_c, thanks for trying, fellow geekster. [05:09] Question for you smart folks.. why is it when you do static IP, ubuntu empties out /etc/resolv.conf .. even if u replace it, upon reboot, it will delete it. Is it because Network-manager looks at that file? So then just remove Network-Manager from boot up ? [05:09] go ahead and try it [05:10] Hmm ... a bit of googling shows there's a possible power shortage. I do have a bunch of USB devices plugged in ... however the receiver is built in. Apple's design dictates the receiver might take priority. but let's see what happens when we unplug a few things ... [05:12] I do believe that the installer just crashed [05:12] It said to file a bug report, but it didn't specify what to include, just what NOT to include [05:13] negative. [05:13] hello guys [05:13] Does lsusb only show _active_ USB devices? [05:13] Im having problems with my Atheros RT2413 in new Ubuntu 11.04 [05:14] Can anyone help me please? [05:14] active, as in ... "Yeah, it's there and I'm putting electricity to it?" or is it, "Yeah, it's there, I don't know what to do with it ... but here's the info I got?"

[05:15] whats up everyone [05:15] hello [05:15] Just one time, and nothing more [05:15] diegopdomingos, does ifconfig show the card? [05:16] hey, what is the difference between sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [05:16] diegopdomingos, what about iwconfig? [05:16] .. [05:16] litropy Yes! Both are showing informations about the card === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:16] diegopdomingos, when you scan for wireless networks, do you see any? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest59312 [05:17] litropy, no!

[05:20] litropy, no! its a internal card (Im using this card now, but in windows) [05:20] my ubuntu installation is all messed up. Sound never really worked, and now I broke opengl too. I heard there is a newer version than 10.04 anyway; would upgrading probably help, or should I install it fresh? [05:20] tapple, sounds like a fresh install [05:21] tapple, unless you provide more info to troubleshoot [05:21] tapple: i would back up any sensitive data and reinstall.

[05:22] litropy, sorry! its AR2413!!! [05:22] I has some web stuff on it [05:22] diegopdomingos, aaaah [05:22] not much though [05:23] tapple, back it up then [05:23] k [05:23] diegopdomingos, welp ... hmm.

[05:47] KerrMD, no need for that [05:47] !info mythbuntu-destkop | KerrMD [05:47] KerrMD: Package mythbuntu-destkop does not exist in natty [05:47] No. I have a root partition as well as a home partition [05:47] what? [05:47] KerrMD: yes and all of your wine libraries are in / [05:48] KerrMD: so if you erase / you lose the libraries. [05:48] bullgard4: by default seahorse is locally, have to import keys from other boxes manually to share [05:48] a simple apt-get install wine should remedy that without blowing my windows/wine apps? [05:48] Let me rephrase. My apps in /home [05:48] KerrMD, the package mythbuntu-desktop will let you choose it from the login window [05:48] DasEi: Thank you very much for explaining and your help. [05:49] KerrMD: if you remove /, not really, but maybe if you are using mythbuntu with Wine installed [05:49] KerrMD, ie no need for install from cd [05:49] KerrMD: this might work [05:49] bullgard4: http://tinyurl.com/3d2yrwo [05:50] KerrMD: it will most likely work if you have Wine installed on Mythbuntu [05:50] what encryption? [05:50] bazhang: The whole point of me wanting to switch is that I really hate Unity. I am not a huge fan of plasma either. I'm downloading mythbuntu 11.04 to check it out righ tnow. [05:50] KerrMD, then use classic [05:50] KerrMD: or just use Compiz [05:50] I want to step away from gnome [05:50] KerrMD: there are many options [05:51] KerrMD: you can simple switch to gnome classic in natty, it's still there [05:51] and myth is based on xfce iirc [05:51] KerrMD: then use XFCE, Awesome, etc. [05:51] KerrMD: ok [05:51] DasEi: I want to step away from gnome. [05:52] xfce is tried and true. It has been ages since I've used it [05:52] KerrMD: GNOME is a in general a hog compared to many other comparable DMs [05:52] true yigal [05:52] KerrMD: if you want minimalism try Open Box [05:52] stupid bug.... it shows the wrong day on the calender between 12AM (midnight) and 12:59:59PM [05:52] KerrMD: well, lots of alternatives out, but support is best for gnome still, and how unity grows only time can tell [05:52] there is no try, only do [05:53] I'm not really sure if minimalist is what I want. I want utility without a lot of overhead. I want to be able to control my own desktop instead of letting something like plasma tell me what I can and cannot do. [05:53] unkmar: yes Yoda :D [05:53] I want power at my disposal should I need it. flexibility, etc. That is why I was thinking xfce [05:53] KerrMD: cool, I'm GNOME + mostly GNU screen I'm a CLI dude [05:54] how do i get a video from the web to play in open office presentation ?

I could find the share icon under network folder, but I got the error msg when I click on it; the msg is "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" [07:16] is it a common problem to run video over ssh, but the audio plays on the server, not the client. Easy solution? === james is now known as Guest8715 [07:20] hello unbuntu pals [07:21] my name is james [07:21] I have a problem with firefox . i can not open some sites . for example "launchpad.net" . receive this message : Connection was intrupted [07:21] any good people on here?

[07:21] mah let me try to launch it [07:22] ok, my ubuntu 11 system is running like crap after trying out xubuntu and reverting back. Anyway, i think im just going to make an image of the system, format and install 11.04 from scratch. I am though not looking forward to resetting everything up, such as thunderbird, firefox, chromium, deluge, etc, and all of its custom settings that i have setup for it. Think I could possibly restore some of those configs from the user folder [07:22] !offtopic | Guest8715 [07:22] Guest8715: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Either way though, your not going to have a supported system in the near future [07:23] ok [07:23] um i did not no i could go classic [07:23] Pete_: believe me, i hate unity as well [07:23] and how do i navigate to classic? [07:23] Pete_: yes, just logout and log back in under the gnome-classic option [07:23] so anyone using webmin ? you recommend it ? [07:23] launchpad.net opened in my mozilla [07:24] Mean_Admin: for what? I use it on tons of my servers [07:24] you of course have the latest version [07:24] I hate it as well fellows using Classic with custom compiz :) [07:24] but mainly because of its integration with cloudmin [07:24] when i restart it just logs me in and asks for my king ring [07:24] canonical made a mistake by changing the default environment. they should just promote it.... this may cause a loss in the user-base [07:24] MACscr|lappy: I just learned of its existance [07:24] MACscr|lappy: so I'm wondering whether I should bother to learn to use it [07:24] Pete_: i said logout, not reboot [07:25] Mean_Admin: for what purpose though? [07:25] what do you need it for [07:25] oops sorry about that [07:25] MACscr|lappy: well for the moment, home server [07:25] thanks so much.. Yea me not like unity [07:25] whats the home server used for? [07:26] MACscr|lappy: DNS, Samba, Wiki [07:26] Pete_: but as i mentioned, they are removing that option when 11.10 comes out (though maybe with enough push back, they wont) [07:26] Mean_Admin: lol, your doing a home wiki? for what [07:26] hello knowedgable unix users [07:26] anyone used ssh -X to play video and had the problem that audio plays through the server, not the client? [07:26] MACscr|lappy: ultimately, my goal is to push aside Win Servers and use a linux server with OpenLDAP, Samba, Wiki, email server, BIND [07:27] I was using filezilla FTP Server on windows so can i get an alternative on linux ? [07:27] MACscr|lappy: so home server, used as practice [07:27] apache server will be an alternative right? [07:27] MACscr|lappy what are they removing? [07:27] I'm having trouble installing 3rd party software on LXDE, with Ubuntu no problems. what is it I'm looking over? [07:27] Sterist: the gnome-classic option [07:27] at least that was the word when 11.04 first came out [07:27] aka, that they were not going to have the option with 11.10 [07:28] MACscr|lappy if i used gnome, that would be the end of ubuntu for me; but xubuntu all the way :) [07:28] Sterist: i tried xubuntu. I freakin hated it [07:28] might as well been centos =P [07:29] another way to put it why was Ubuntu easier to install software on? I'm a unix newbie [07:29] I know about pkg managers [07:29] but that is about it [07:29] I want to setup a LAN server to share between LAN users what the best way I can do that ..

It might help if you changed your nick (to somthing not likely to be already taken like james was). [07:35] frensi: error message ? [07:35] sorry just woke up and this is the first time ive used this chat client [07:35] now with XP sorry cant remember [07:35] usertom: Did you change where grub was set to install to?

[07:37] i had previously had ubunto 8.something with win 7 and grub was working wonderfully [07:37] obviously i was a stoner in my earlier years [07:37] frensi: You don't need to format before re-installing. The Ubuntu installer can do that. [07:37] frensi: so I don't really get on how to help you , sure you could delete ubu from windows with no harm but loosing all the data, but if apt hangs, then boot to ubuntu so help here makes sense [07:37] james =largetoke [07:38] superkuh: why not? [07:38] Okay. Thank you. [07:38] usertom: That error message is not from grub2, which is what current versions of Ubuntu use, which means that you are (for whatever reason) not booting from the drive that grub was most recently installed to.

[08:05] eoss: can you try symlinks to the eclipse file for execution [08:06] thx [08:06] lol the real sad part is that the game im trying to launch isnt supported by wine >.< [08:06] there is something called as launchers that launch applications fron the menu itself [08:06] anyway thanks for the help and i feel that i will really enjoy ubuntu :p [08:07] I'm getting extremely low framerate for any program (even gnome-terminal) since upgrading to 11.04. I have a "nVidia Corporation C78 [GeForce 9100] (rev a2)" and I am using the proprietary drivers. [08:07] Jordan_U: same here, ATI radeon, disabling the graphic drivers gave me BETTER framerates! [08:08] if I set up my router to use vpn, is it possible to make it only use the vpn for wireless connections and use the normal service for wired connections? [08:08] its disabled now, and i am thinking of switching to 10.04 now [08:08] can, anyone help me on printer? When I print for example a pdf file the printing operation is very slow. It seems that it prints as an image. For your knowledge I've an epson laser EPL5800... [08:08] NisargS: Unfortunately at the moment disabling the proprietary drivers gives me a kernel panic :( [08:08] How is a DEB program package composed? What is the structure of a DEB program package? [08:08] !packaging | bullgard4 [08:08] bullgard4: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [08:09] Jordan_U: i am trying the drivers from the website now, lets see if that changes anything [08:10] #openvpn [08:10] hahaha, sorry [08:14] Ask for help, I met the problem when I tried using gnome-user-share(WebDAV) to share the files between 2 ubuntu 11.04x86_64 machines. I could find the share icon from each other under network folder, such as 'username on xxxx machine public files' but I got the error msg when I click on it; the msg is "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" [08:15] Jordan_U: The »packaging guide« does not answer the question which I have put or only in a very difficult accessible way. The »packaging guide« is written for MOTUs and similar people to compile a DEB program package. For example https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PackagingOverview starts with the headline "The changelog" which clearly is not in my scope. [08:16] Jordan_U, are you still there? [08:16] usertom: Yes. [08:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/610958/ [08:17] how bad is it? [08:18] usertom: Your BIOS is booting from /dev/sdc which contains an old and broken grub legacy install. If you change the boot order so that /dev/sda is first it should boot fine. [08:18] Jordan_U, how would I do that? [08:19] bullgard4: perhaps you should restate your question and make the problem you're having clearer [08:20] usertom: It depends on your BIOS. When you boot you should see a message like "Press F8 for more options or F12 for a one time boot menu", where F8 and F12 could be any function key depending on your particular BIOS. [08:20] gaelfx: You are probably right. I will try to re-word. [08:20] thanks [08:21] Jordan_U, I remember that my bios boot options go to the level were i can choose bewtween hardisk, cd or usb [08:21] but not which hardisk... [08:21] usertom: Are you booted into a LiveCD right now? [08:22] yes [08:22] i tried reinstalling grub1 and 2 [08:22] is there a tool for checking SMART status for a drive connected via USB?

[08:36] pepribal, if you right click any one of them untikc the Lock to panel,, then right click it again ,,it should show a quit option [08:36] pepribal, and that should be respected for next log on [08:36] I don't get the lock to panel option...

[08:54] Question: where is the button for selecting workspaces in Unity? [08:54] nit-wit I don't get you [08:54] peribal: u can drag n drop icons in it [08:55] Jordan_U, I cant see the line giving the option to boot linux on sdc6 [08:55] linuxking, your description lack any detail of what this "corruption" is, can I be any clearer.;) [08:55] usertom: I don't understand what you mean. [08:55] hey everyone, I'm having a total brainfart - what's the name of that program that can download an Ubuntu ISO for you and then burn it straight to a device? [08:56] unetbootin [08:56] Jordan_U, I do see the line for the win7 boot option [08:56] yes! thank you :) [08:56] Jordan_U, but not for linux on that 33gig partition... [08:57] Jordan_U, actually no! win 7 is on sdc1 [08:57] I was wondering, if you're in an IRC Chat are you vurnerable to getting hacked? [08:58] usertom: I don't know what lines you are talking about. [08:58] from the last http://paste.ubuntu.com/610969/ [08:58] U53r__: you are always when connected to other pcs [08:58] result.txt [08:59] OK, so I can now find my way around in Unity, but how do I get my wallpaper to change periodically in Natty? [08:59] nit-wit ok, now I get you. this is what's happening, I can boot into ultimate edition as many times as i can but the moment I boot into natty, If I reboot the machine my grub will be gone and if I boot with a live cd and open gparted, The ultimate edition will be said to be an unknown partition [08:59] usertom: For some reason the grub.cfg was not found / included in that boot info script output. I'm guessing that it's just a bug in the script. If you reboot you should be able to boot into Ubuntu or Windows. [09:00] Jordan_U, its listing sda1/boot.ini [09:01] Jordan_U, can i look at grub.cfg 'manually' [09:01] where can i enable 'remember active session' at boot in natty? [09:01] usertom: Yes. It's in /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:03] Jordan_U, I see but thats a quite extensive script! [09:03] linuxking, I wonder if you don't have overlapping partitions how did you make the partitions for both setups? Just guesing off the top of my head, this script if you run it in a pastebin will give us more info. [09:03] is there an official Ubuntu blog by canonical? [09:03] im curious what was said after natty was released [09:04] Jordan_U, ok, thanks Jordan! I'll try it then and you have the best of lives for your generous help! [09:04] im wondering how they have reacted to feedback about unity, etc [09:04] linuxking, this script http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [09:04] usertom: You're welcome. [09:04] MACscr|lappy: they basically said "this is unity, this is what we're using, it's the wave of the future" [09:05] lol, they still went with that mantra after the release and feedback? thats just stupid to completely ignore your userbase [09:05] MACscr|lappy: in the corporate world, money talks, no one cares about the users [09:05] there is always to choice to run ubuntu classic [09:05] localuser: not always, just until the next release [09:06] MACscr|lappy, #ubuntu-offtopic [09:06] last i heard, its gone in 11.10 [09:06] MACscr|lappy: how do you figure?

[09:14] linuxking, okay, so if a partiton comes up as unallocated does it still boot and was it maybe this way to begin with, IE the partition table got messed up, or you have overlapping partitions.Th script link I posted will get us closer suspect along with your dialogue.

[09:32] theadmin, I may have to give it a go [09:33] theadmin: maybe you have a better idea about how I can find out the bottleneck in my USB3.0 set up? I've got a new 3.0 card and an HDD dock connected to it, but it only transfers at 705Mbps, I need to find out if it's the card or the dock, or possibly the drive, but I should check the other two first [09:33] does anyone know what would cause my internal mic to be playing back [09:33] gaelfx: If I'd know, I'd gladly tell ya [09:33] heu guys Im trying to remove evolution and I get this error message! http://pastebin.com/HnurykCh [09:33] worth a shot [09:33] gaelfx, whats it plugged into a usb port?

[09:42] Evanescence: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list/whatever-ppa.list [09:42] Err.

[09:43] nit-wit: xD Happens. I often do that [09:44] theadmin: so what is .list.save ? [09:44] Evanescence: Eh... No idea, probably remove that too [09:44] theadmin: huhu .... [09:44] Evanescence: After that do a apt-get update [09:46] Disk Utility reports benchmarks in MB, is that actually megabytes or is it supposed to be mebibytes?

[09:50] uni4dfx: If you have another language installed, you can check yourself, something like this: LANG=ru_RU.UTF8 last [09:51] this might be a silly question but I downloaded and installed thunderbird with sudo aptitude install thunderbird! Now I just wonder where the icon for thunderbird is placed on the HD? [09:51] theadmin: must say i didn't know this, but unfortunately i don't have any other language installed other than english [09:52] does anyone have a recomendation for a firewall/router distro based on ubuntu/debian ? [09:52] ttiicc: Probably around /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps [09:52] thanks again theadmin! [09:53] ttiicc: To see all files from the thunderbird package, run: dpkg-query -L thunderbird [09:53] I notice that in "Additional Drivers" it claims I have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed and activated, but they are not in use. I further notice that going to System > Preferences > Monitors no longer makes the system yell at me and tell me to use nvidia-settings. What exactly does this imply? [09:54] the icon for thunderbird were found in /usr/share/pixmaps! [09:54] Surlent777: That you must run sudo nvidia-xconfig. [09:55] theadmin: well, that's new. Let's see if something happens. [09:56] Surlent777: Restart X (or reboot) after that's done [09:57] theadmin: I tried restarting X to no avail; I'll try the reboot I guess [10:00] hello [10:01] Hi [10:01] why use ubuntu or linux?

I'm not sure. If it was Arch, I'd tell you to blacklist the default driver in rc.conf, but... [10:08] theadmin: and yet I can still use everything more or less normally. I suspect somehow that the nv drivers or something are being used instead [10:08] maybe removing and then reinstalling it will magically fix everything [10:09] ola boa tarde a todos [10:10] does anyone know how to install gimp 2.7.1 using gdebi [10:10] Was nice talking to you, but I have to go - -- bb [10:10] mornin [10:11] momolee: assuming that was provided as a deb, you simply open it with gdebi and hit "Install" [10:11] good night [10:11] I removed the applet which you could reglate the sound colume with, wonder if you guys know with which character combination the sound could be lowered in gnome?

[11:37] This is Ubuntu classic desktop I am using [11:37] A GUI C++/C Complier and Debugger. Any1 can Give me a Name ? [11:38] piboytravis, hm how should i use it? [11:38] GUI Compiler ?

There's a drop down menu on the login screen, next to keyboard layout. [11:40] has anyone any idea about not resuming correctly after hibernation? only graphic problems [11:40] wendico: Yep. There's a drop down menu on the login screen, next to keyboard layout. [11:40] Hi everyone. Is there a way to install vim 7.2 on Natty? [11:40] I need a GUI C++/C Complier and Debugger. Any1 can Give me a Name ? [11:40] Eclipse . [11:41] thegladiator, eclipse is Java [11:41] no, it's written in java [11:41] iPod on 11.04 anyone ? [11:41] you can do anything in it [11:41] piboytravis, ok, but i see now, that running this tool under kubuntu 10.04 it is trying to install also kubuntu on my second hdd... but i want to install ubuntu ( i've got mounted 10.10 iso there ) [11:41] No Eclipse can be used for any language [11:41] oh okie's.. [11:41] thank you [11:41] A_J, you can also try with kdevelop ;-) [11:41] or komodo edit [11:41] Anyone? Is there a way to install vim 7.2 on Natty? [11:42] or netbeans [11:42] Can also try Code::Blocks [11:42] Netveans is also very good [11:42] or MonoDevelop for C# and .net [11:42] I mean the vim 7.2 that was packaged with Maverick [11:42] iksik: OK, I see what you want to do now. Burning an ubuntu cd and booting from that is probably the best way to go. Just choose your second HDD in the partitioner. [11:42] Hello all, I'm a bit stuck with tracker (on 11.04). Looks like the daemon isn't running. I can't find anything like trackerd. What daemon needs to be running? [11:43] Netbeans +1 [11:43] piboytravis, well the problem is, that there is no cd/dvd drive available in this machine ;/ [11:43] iksik: Maybe try booting from a USB drive? [11:45] Orva: when i installed ubuntu on my ps3 i had to use the alternate installer because the hypervisor locks down the GPU among other hardware so it's not available to use whether or not the installer tries to.

I'm trying to do RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but I want to make grub primary. [11:53] What do I do? [11:54] is there a VM that will boot an OS installed on the HDD, as if it was a VM image? [11:55] Sterist_: not that I know of. I'm pretty sure that's infeasible === Sterist_ is now known as Sterist [11:56] It's not something you can do. OS's that are installed into VM's use generic hardware devices. But OS's installed directly on the machine use specific hardware devices [11:56] Is it possible to use Ubuntu live cd to boot an already installed on hard-drive ubuntu? [11:57] nhg, is your grub broken? [11:57] you can always use a live cd to access the harddrive, idk about booting from it [11:57] * stjohnmedrano is away: Away lang!. [11:58] piboytravis: There are at least 3 Try #unitylinux in freenode. [11:58] nhg yes, you'd be booting the LiveCD and not the installation. you can always boot a LiveCD regardless of what's on your HDD. your PC BIOS sets the boot priority, not the operating system(s) [11:59] The problem is, my home directory seems to be encrypted, but I did not remember I've choose to do that at installation time [11:59] nhg, you can boot from livecd and start installation on your hdd, atleast i remember there was a way with grub boot loader === bran is now known as compromdon === afief_ is now known as afief [12:00] hi [12:00] hmm, from the live cd grub you can edit the grub loader to point to your installed partition [12:00] Guys! [12:00] nhg, something like root(hd0,0)kernel /boot/kernel-x.xboot [12:00] Hlep me out! [12:00] thanks to all, I will try [12:00] !help | Glycan [12:00] Glycan: 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. :-) [12:00] nhg, but you need to get to commandline in grub [12:00] I'm in a Knoppix liveusb boot, since this is the only live boot that worked, after 4 OSes and ~20 burns. I'm trying to do RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, but I want to make grub primary. [12:00] can i use nautilus in openbox without drawing my desctop? [12:01] I already asked my question, and no-one ansered [12:01] Glycan, /join #knoppix ? [12:01] Glycan: make grub primary in what way? [12:01] one cannot purge openoffice packages without removing the libreoffice packages in 11.04, lol [12:01] Why does seahorse > Other Keys show the validity of a certain entry as "Full" but on another Ubuntu computer in the same LAN as "Unknown"? [12:01] So that when I boot the computer, grub loads as the bootloader [12:01] glycan, do you want to install grub to your hdd? root (hdX,X), setup (hdX) [12:02] hi I've just installed ubuntu, and have tried to install the nvidia drivers. I'm having trouble downloading the latest version, but the other version (173) states that the drivers is activated but not currently in use. What does this mean, how do I use it ? I have a dual monitor which is not working and I think this might be the cause. [12:02] Kaco: That's for legacy. [12:02] glycan, but you also need a /boot/grub on that partition... [12:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [12:02] arand, ah ok... that's what I remember from older grub :) [12:02] Glycan: So you have grub2 (grub-pc) on that CD? [12:03] ??? [12:03] I am currently trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my new machine, I modprobe aes and dmcrypt and unlock my crypted devices before entering the partioner to reuse my luks/lvm devices. this works well until like 60% of "select and install software" where I get the error: a step failed... so here is my question: how to fix it, where do i have to check for error messages during installtion? oh, an one thing i tried the natty daily build as well as the stan [12:03] !grub2 | Glycan [12:03] Glycan: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[12:03] I know what grub is. [12:03] More or less [12:03] can anybody answer me about nautilus and openbox? [12:03] This uysb has knoppix [12:03] usb [12:04] Glycan: As per the guide, mount you partition containing /boot, run grub-install with --root-directory= pointing to the directory above your /boot folder, [12:04] is compizconfig disabled after upgrade to 11.04 with nvidia? [12:04] Okay, hang on. [12:04] piboytravis, i've just tried to create booting usb, but startup disk creator doesn't works.. hm, "create startup disk" button is disabled - don't know why [12:04] hi all how to add a keyboard shortcut to terminal? === calle is now known as carl-eric [12:05] Sterist: meh, stupid me [12:05] ouyes, a shortcut to open the terminal? [12:05] starts up well with acpi=off :P [12:05] zarlan, yes the command to open a terminal [12:06] ouyes: ctrl + alt + t [12:06] zarlan, yes I know , jamiewan I need to add it first [12:06] Glycan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [12:06] zarlan, jamiewan how to add it to shortcuts [12:06] ouyes, if you want to change it to something else for example ~ there is a keyboard shortcut editor in system settings [12:07] it should be on as the default, are you using ubuntu or one of the variants like xubuntu? [12:07] zarlan, I know there is one, but what is the command for open terminal [12:07] Orva: you may have to consult this wonderful channel to config ubuntu to use (properly) the 2nd one (if at all) after it installs [12:07] Hi, I want to add or remove some applications in the indicator-menu on top of the screen, however, I found many are talking about the menu on the left. Anyone can help? [12:07] hey, is it normal that /usr/bin/X (gnome) under 10.10 consumes 41% mem of 4gb? [12:07] solars: no [12:07] zarlan, now in my xubuntu there is no shortcut for terminal I have to add one so I need to know the command to open a terminal [12:08] Hi, I'm using a RAID1 install with /boot on md1, and an encrypted / on md0. When I unplug one of the two drives and turn the machine back on, it fails to boot even though both disks should be identical. The message I get is "evms_activate is not available" when it should be asking for the password [12:08] for example, I don't want to use Broadcast, and empathy doensn't show there either [12:08] leex, how can I find out why it is so high? [12:08] hey guys. is there anyway i can setup JACK to be used along with PULSE under ubuntu ? [12:08] After some minutes I get dropped into the initramfs shell and it says "-r ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist" [12:08] solars try Xubuntu, on a fresh boot it uses just under 200mb [12:08] solars: you could use htop and let it show you which thread is using so much mem [12:08] ouyes, it's different for xubuntu - I can't help you there sorry...try asking again and mention you've got xubuntu or switch channels to #xubuntu [12:09] Sterist, I want to find out why gnome takes so much [12:09] solars: what's your uptime? [12:09] leex, it's /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-3XG6R7/database -nolisten tcp vt7 [12:09] leex, 3 days [12:09] solars gnome and unity are heavyweight [12:10] solars reboot. not hibernate + resume, but reboot lol [12:10] Sterist, yeah I know, but I want to use gnome at work for convenience, still the mem consumption is quite high [12:10] zarlan, ok [12:10] Sterist: yes, but it shouldnt eat up almost 2gb mem [12:10] Anybody who knows his way around raid+encryption (and boot with just one disk, i.e. degraded array) [12:10] but there should be a way to find out what it is and killl it :) [12:10] solars not if it's a leak :P [12:11] its not getting higher [12:11] so solars it isn't gnome but the gdm, you could go for an easy fix and just disable it and start gnome yourself ;) [12:11] hmm [12:11] leex, hm yeah, I'll consider that [12:11] but its the X process [12:11] why http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Make_Startup_Disk_001.png - "Make startup disk" is disabled in my usb-creator ? ;/ [12:11] solars: but don't listen to me i am just waiting for an reply for my bug fix and I always use dirty hacks [12:11] so I cannot just kill it [12:11] heh [12:12] solars: hmm you could use xdm or kdm [12:12] solars there's a sudo kill command but i'm not familiar with how to use it [12:12] sudo kill -9 pid number [12:12] solars, try killing it.. it will just respawn.. i tried killing it a while ago [12:12] solars: don't just kill gdm, it will restart your whole X session [12:12] I know how to kill [12:12] iksik, select the partition on your usb stick [12:12] but I cannot just kill X, right? [12:13] solars works real nicely when nothing else does. but killing xyz may not release it's memory allocation.... if it's a leak. [12:13] hmm [12:13] leex, no it won't [12:13] ok trying [12:13] run top in terminal and punch that in [12:13] carl-eric, it doesn't helps [12:13] it is still disabled [12:13] iksik, is there enough space on your usb stick? [12:13] is there any way to create bootable usb ? [12:13] angheloko: when did that behavior change? [12:13] carl-eric, yes it's 2G stick [12:13] angheloko: last time I used ubuntu it did [12:13] any other way* ;-) [12:13] leex, im not sure... i killed the process and it just respawned :-? [12:14] k [12:14] iksik, you need to select an appropriate ISO image, and then the partition on your usb stick, that should work [12:14] leex, it does eat some mem, but the strange thing is not always [12:14] carl-eric, iso selected, partition also... button still disabled [12:14] anyone able to use ALSA, JACK, PULSE at the same time ?? [12:14] iksik, then i don't know, sorry [12:14] carl-eric, one sec, i'll create my own screenshot ;] [12:14] Hi, I'm getting timeouts from my server when trying to fetch files through ftp. After x files it just hangs. Someone can help me? [12:15] well if no one can help me with my ubuntu problems I will just install gentoo another time... :/ [12:15] carl-eric, http://hub.inventic.it/u/xk/public/usb.png [12:16] iksik, you need to select the partition, not the drive - click on /dev/sdf1 [12:16] sdf1 isnt a part of sdg drive [12:16] carl-eric, [12:16] heh [12:16] true [12:16] and there was sdg1 partition [12:16] didn't notice that [12:16] but this tool removed it ;| [12:17] iksik, use the Disk Utility to create a new partition on sdg [12:17] one sec ;] [12:20] carl-eric, http://hub.inventic.it/u/xk/public/usb2.png [12:21] iksik, is the partition formatted? [12:21] yes, it's a fresh ext2 partition ( i've also tried with ext3 and ext4 ) created with gparted [12:21] where do i find language settings in ubuntu natty? [12:22] erle-, i have us english as i wish, but it shows me dates etc in german format [12:22] iksik, sorry, I have no idea what's wrong there [12:22] with german month's names [12:22] erle-: run: language support in unity [12:22] carl-eric, do You know any other way ( more manual way ) to create this bootable usb? [12:22] ;/ [12:22] iksik, no, i always used that one [12:22] ActionParsnip, is there no way in old gnome? [12:22] uhm [12:23] erle-: of course! [12:24] ever since I installed Natty on my other machine, "http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main Sources" and "natty/main i386 Packages" gives me a 404 on "aptitude update".. was this particular source moved or removed? [12:24] erle-: /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector [12:24] hah! [12:24] carl-eric, solved ;] [12:25] iksik, whast did you do? :) [12:25] erle-: unity is just an interface to gnome, so ANYTHING you can run in unity can be ran in gnome [12:25] carl-eric, sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n usb /dev/sdg1 [12:25] and it is enabled [12:25] duh [12:25] wrong fs type :D [12:25] :) [12:26] how can i recover deleted fonts from my /.fonts folder? [12:26] hmm, unity's top bar occassionally goes black on me, any ideas how to get it to repaint? [12:26] Sterist: usually I don't have problems after I get system booting, unless ubuntu has done some really funky stuff between versions 6.02 and 11.04 :P [12:26] So i need to install any additional packages to connect ubuntu machine to a projector ? [12:27] * szal doesn't remember *buntu 6.02 [12:27] Why does seahorse > Other Keys show the validity of a certain entry as "Full" but on another Ubuntu computer in the same LAN as "Unknown"? [12:27] or was it 6.06, something like that [12:27] so many years! [12:28] either 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" or 6.10 "Edgy Eft" [12:28] dapper drake was the one I used [12:28] ActionParsnip, thank you, i didnt know the name of the language selector [12:28] ActionParsnip, classic gnome lacks for the menu entry for it, so i thought its gone [12:29] erle-: unity is handy for finding apps, I just grepped the files in /usr/share/applications to find the binary [12:29] I have always wondered why ubuntu puts those minor version numbers for releases [12:30] Orva, those are year and month [12:30] Orva: pretty self-explanatory [12:31] szal: yeah, after you hear that "year and month" part [12:31] Dapper was 2 months late; it was the 1st LTS and there was, among other things, a big kernel oops around planned release time [12:31] Orva: you get those with LTS, means less updating :) [12:31] "haven't they ever heard about release candidates?" is first thing that pops into my mind === hajour1 is now known as UndiFineD [12:33] how can i get libreoffice to start with A4 page format? it starts with US letter - no matter what locale [12:34] (deletion of ~/.libreoffice has no effect) [12:36] hi. in windows I can set up DNS server IP. how do I do that in ubuntu?

[12:53] roland: umm, have you ever used the terminal [12:53] wanderingi: i think the best way would be (re)configure grub to boot windows ... just take a look into google ... i think there are several tutorials ... otherwise find the right windows installation dvd an try again :) [12:53] yeah [12:53] thanks actionparsnip [12:53] lucian: i don't support in PM [12:53] just type that in?

[12:54] wanderingi: what version of ubuntu are you on [12:54] okay [12:54] !terminal [12:54] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

[12:57] lucian: Ive asked the same question 3 times now [12:57] roland: ok, now paste the link, it should be something like paste.ubuntu.com/2342341 [12:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/611033/ [12:57] Trashi im looking at it now, but at the minute i have "grub rescue>" as the prompt.

[12:59] yuskhanzab: if you install mozilla-plugin-vlc it should be ok [12:59] roland: can you manually mount it in terminal? [12:59] sagaci: what is nautilus, i just tried to click on the home folder [13:00] it's mounted [13:00] i think [13:00] I can see all the folders [13:00] Hi folks [13:00] roland: yeah, that opens nautilus [13:00] what is listed on the left hand side of the filebrowser [13:00] i don't now what are you telling me to do [13:00] :( [13:00] I have 2 machines installed Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64.

[13:01] lucian: copy the command I gave and run it in a terminal [13:01] yuskhanzab, It's an AVI file; either install the VLC plug-in, or download the .AVI and watch it in Totem or VLC. If you want to download, you may need a plug-in such as "UnPlug." [13:01] ok [13:01] no, what is listed on the lefthand side once you click on your home folder [13:01] roland: are you on 11.04? [13:02] yuskhanzab, i dont think there is modern divx (h.264) plugin for web browsers for ubuntu, but considering my windows experience with it, i wouldn't install it anyway, if that is of any help... [13:02] woops, im on debian, my friends laptop, the hdd is mine, it's ubuntu [13:02] ok i did that [13:02] now the terminal asking me to upload [13:03] i thing i wil accept right ? [13:03] ActionParsnip: even following these things there's no damn way to get it to hide [13:03] the best mode seems to be "never" [13:03] haha [13:03] which is a waste of my damn screen esstate [13:03] yuskhanzab: have you tried using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mediaplayerconnectivity/ [13:03] that's true [13:03] szal: can i set the nomodeset in a GUI program?

I'm afraid my knowledge in networking is very poor though, and I have no idea how to configure such a network. Can anyone recommend some basic tutorial/howto/soemthing that will help? [13:04] szal: I have "grub customizer" from a ppa and it lists "quiet splash" as the parameters for my kernel, do i just add nomodeset?

[13:33] BlouBlou: the root partition is / [13:33] sorry just to reiterate on the one line, a full screen flash in firefox 10.04 froze the screen, have tried kill -9 and restaring gdm (from another machine), now staring at black screen and flashing cursor... would appreciate any other advice [13:33] about NFS: i am able to ssh and sftp to my remote machine, but not nfs -- nfs-kernel is up and running, /etc/exports contains my local machine ok -- hints & tips? [13:33] BlouBlou: every linux based OS has one === Technetium is now known as Iridium [13:34] but /home is on that partition too [13:34] not in separated one === Iridium is now known as Iridium191 [13:34] BlouBlou: that's fine [13:34] hi [13:34] hi younes [13:35] vlc is consuming 60% CPU , wonder why [13:35] all with ubuntu === neo is now known as Guest76913 [13:35] MonkeyDust: have you defined the directories you're sharing in /etc/exports on the NFS server? [13:35] yeats: yes [13:35] So how do you find it? [13:35] thegladiator: does it happen as all users? [13:35] MonkeyDust: and you restarted nfs-kernel-server after doing so? [13:35] BlouBlou, Many folks make /home on a separate partition from root; this allows them do do a fresh install and then copy all of their settings, ect., from the separate /home partition. [13:36] thegladiator: do other users have the same issue? [13:36] yeats: yes [13:36] I am not sure about other users ActionParsnip , but does VLC consume 60% CPU for a video file ? [13:36] MonkeyDust: and you've defined the remote directories in /etc/fstab on the client(s)? [13:37] yeats: it says: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export [13:37] thegladiator: do other players do the same? [13:37] yeats: fstab, too, yes [13:38] keith105: Have you got physical access to machine or are you remote. [13:38] hold on I will check the video [13:38] MonkeyDust: ah, have you tried adding 'no_subtree_check' to the options in /etc/exports? [13:38] MonkeyDust: example from mine: "#/fileshare 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) [13:39] hi there, can someone help and tell me how to update the version of perl I have on an ubuntu system? [13:39] MonkeyDust, a hint if you're using NFSv4 , delete the "_netdev ' from the client pc fstab entry [13:39] geeme: which version do you want and for which release ? [13:40] BlouBlou, If you wish to delve more deeply into separate /home partitions, please see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installseparatehome [13:40] totem for instance uses only expected 25 CPU ActionParsnip [13:40] I need VLC because it has this feature to amplify video to 400% [13:40] thegladiator: ok that's fine.

[13:44] thegladiator: most likely [13:44] geeme: is the package 'perl' or is it something else? [13:45] it is perl [13:45] nhg: no, i was just following the steps and copied the generated passphrase into terminal [13:45] Im trying to install libdevice-usb-perl but dependancy issues require perl to be upgraded [13:45] nhg, now im up to dot 4 on step 2 [13:45] funny how 11.04 came out with its snazzy interface and yet all I see is androids on the market [13:45] roland, it should be aes, 16bit, as far as I've read [13:45] philinux: i have both, i restarted gdm again and it worked but it killed all my applications. all works lost. === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:46] roland, altough I am not 100% sure, but give it a try [13:46] anyone try installing it on a cheap tablet? [13:46] nhg: just type 16bit? [13:46] keith105: Not a good outcome. [13:46] roland, just press enter without values. It will use the default value (the one within [] brackets) [13:46] okay [13:47] keith105: open office should recover any docs [13:47] philinux: nope haha, do u know of a way to get X working again without killing all the important open stuff, in case it happens again [13:47] unfortunately it was a complicated GNS3 topology [13:47] lost VMs too haha, this is not a good day :) [13:47] nhg: This and the following options only apply if you are using filename encry [13:48] nhg: what is filename encryption?

I can change them, but I can't find a way to disable a particular shortcut. (specifically, alt-) [13:49] philinux: that didnt fix the frozen fullscreen flash, i did notice a zombie in top but couldnt see what it was before i had to restart, that could have been it i suppose [13:49] grrrr @ flash on linux lol [13:49] what we do here? [13:49] geeme: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl_5.10.1-12ubuntu2.1_i386.deb [13:49] keith105: that's what you get from not putting mission-critical stuff on its own machine :P [13:49] keith105: I would try and repeat it just with firefox and nothing important. === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 [13:50] keith105: are you using 64bit ubuntu?

[13:51] keith105: is this firefox 4 [13:51] (he is helping me troubleshoot something) [13:51] I use "google" as a general term... admittadly didnt try bing [13:51] mang0: it means to search or filter text [13:51] mang0: grep is a filter, to look for something specific [13:51] geeme: i use "websearch" [13:51] so I go to the search menu and then search for the thing? [13:51] yeah [13:51] ping [13:52] MonkeyDust: I need to search for the word "Pressure" in a long list of things [13:52] mang0: is that list a text file? [13:52] mang0: then use: grep -i pressure file [13:52] ActionParsnip: my apologies, this one is 10.10, and it has flashplugin-installer 10.3.181.14ubuntu.10.10.1 none of the rest [13:52] A list in terminal [13:52] I typed in "xev" [13:53] and now I need to look for "pressure" [13:53] mang0: then pipe the text into the grep [13:53] froes_, your audio problem might be pulseaudio ..it's not compatible with alot of older pci and integrated soundcards [13:53] mang0: e.g: xev | grep -i pressure [13:53] mang0: a list of commands?

[13:55] sreeju: use a pastebin to host the text [13:55] nhg: damn, maybe i got the password wrong, ill do it a few more times.... lame [13:55] roland, this is probably because you mistyped the path [13:55] nhg: thankyou so much for your help though [13:55] Gump: could try 64bit flash, if your ubuntu is 64bit [13:55] its saying opera needs to be reinstalled but cant find archive [13:56] yes, it is. flash player is installed and working ActionParsnip. but since installing oss, no sound works form it [13:56] roland, in the guide its said the path is /home/username/.Private, but it isn't! At least, it isn't in my installation. It is /home/username/.ecryptfs/username/.Private instead [13:56] sreeju: can you give the output as requested, not an interpretation [13:56] hi im looking for a minimum footprint version of ubuntu, the 10.10 im using is causing my 10 year old PC to slow up anyone any links pls [13:56] Gump, why oss ? [13:56] ActionParsnip: thanks man, hopefully the non-free one will prevent future issues like that :) [13:56] ok wait [13:57] rabc_: install ubuntu-minimal then install lxde into that, very small punchy OS [13:57] BluesKaj, because my audio out jack was not working, so i installed OSS, and now it is working [13:57] nhg: where it says "username" im suposed to wright 'roland' right? [13:57] Gump, did you try alsa ? [13:57] What's the best way to install metasploit on natty? I can't find a package, do I have to just install all the deps and then pull it with svn? [13:57] thanks actionparsnip your a gem!!!!! [13:57] BluesKaj, yes, alsa was the problem [13:57] roland, probably, if you choosen roland at installation time [13:58] it is a known bug in alsa that it does not work with my soundcard [13:58] or was it pulseaudio, Gump ? [13:58] nhg: thanks ill try again [13:58] ShermanBoyd: http://dev.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/wiki/Install_Ubuntu [13:58] no error its downloading .. (sudo apt-get update) [13:58] BluesKaj, ...i think it was alsa? [13:59] sreeju: all better now? [13:59] regardless, with OSS, is it possible to get sound working in flash player? [13:59] ShermanBoyd: thats one way, there is no best way [14:00] irc.bithq.org [14:00] thank you ... its ok now [14:01] can someone with a 64bit system try this for me? apt-get source flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, and then try cd to the dir and make [14:01] regardless ? ..dunno about oss integration with flash , Gump... that can't be disregarded [14:01] sreeju: sweet :) [14:01] I decrypted my old home folder, (And I could access SOME files), but the problem now is : All filenames are scrambled and many directories unreadable... Am I doing something wrong? [14:02] BluesKaj, i know flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound will fix the problem, but it is only availible from the repository for i386 [14:02] Gump, install ia32 libs [14:03] what's the package called? [14:03] already newest version [14:04] thanks for the link! whoever answered ... chatzilla crashed =( [14:04] i'm assuming that is for compatibility for i386 packages? didn't work apparently === fred_ is now known as Guest57057 [14:04] i tried installing the i836 version and it returned error package is not designed for amd64 or something [14:07] anybody know where gajim keep his account information?

[14:09] sagaci: not much luck. im gona have to take it to a linux expert i guess [14:10] I managed to finally get it working 100%, nevermind [14:10] roland, I'll write you in private [14:10] roland, my exact steps [14:10] roland: it's why I don't use encryption [14:10] hello. I was considering installing Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.04, but when I added the official PPA, Update Manager showed me lots of packages that weren't selected (and couldn't be selected). Some of which sounded essential to me. I wonder if that is normal (a two-step installation or something)? [14:10] roland, pm me please [14:11] ActionParsnip, djanos thanks, but in my old home folder i cant find it? but in new i see this files... now i try to make new profiles.. [14:11] Hello. There is cool command in bash: "source". So I can include one script into another. But how can I do the same thing in sh? === logan is now known as Guest34025 [14:12] Mrokii: it could easily break your system [14:13] sagaci: I know, that is why I am asking. I won't risk breaking my system. [14:15] go8765432: could try: sudo find $HOME -iname gajim [14:16] !gnome3 [14:16] Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [14:16] achpile source or a period; check the sh manpage. `sh' is usually a link to real shell installed. qc ash too [14:16] sh is 'dash' in ubuntu normally === tobias is now known as Guest87280 [14:16] achpile s/qc/qv/ [14:17] ok [14:17] + [14:17] ActionParsnip, thanks) i understand that gajim kepp his account information in server) when i login - i see my transports) [14:17] Dr_Willis: what is dash [14:17] mrdeb: a sh replacement. [14:17] not to be confused with unity's 'dash' [14:17] how do I know my which touchpad I am using. My friend has some issue regarding touchpad not working under 11.04 [14:17] !dash [14:17] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [14:17] ActionParsnip, quick question. If I install ubuntu Netbook on a netbook, how is the support for those usb modems we get.. They mostly only come with windows software [14:19] why apt-get does not remove it?: http://pastebin.com/ewAChpTN [14:19] Dr_Willis: is it better? i use sh to run scripts [14:20] A_J: The UI is moot, you may need to mess with usb-modeswitcher. I assume you mean 3G modem [14:20] mrdeb: if yoyu are using sh in ubuntu.. you are actually using 'dash' [14:20] ActionParsnip, no 2g actally [14:20] why apt-get does not remove it?: http://pastebin.com/ewAChpTN [14:20] whats the point [14:20] !repeat | tomekh [14:20] tomekh: 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/ [14:21] tomekh: clarify/summarize the paste. dont expect people to go to a url just to get the summary. [14:21] ActionParsnip: I do know that it breaks Unity (which I don't use anyway). [14:21] can I install ubuntu on my 1980s alarm clock? [14:21] tomekh: try apt-get purge [14:21] A_J: same difference, the modem will be seen as a USB storage for Windows users who can't run setup.exe, the software then switches the hardware to the modem part. Ubuntu can already use the modem bit and does not and cannot use use stupid software so you just need to flip it [14:21] frackle, you'll need a time machine to take you back to 1980 [14:22] lol [14:22] MonkeyDust: same effect [14:22] frackle: what cpu does it use?

[14:44] jl [14:44] a7i3n: as far as booting, i dont think so. Whether the drive itself will last through the years its another story... [14:44] this is shit [14:45] Bellard.qemu-fame has written a x86 emulator in javascript and ported linux to it. [14:45] BluesKaj: no i havent. Thats awesome, I thought they were having problems with linux drm [14:45] I used this command [/usr/sbin/InteractiveBastille -c] to try and re-configure, but I get an error message saying it can't open the action log due to permissions. [14:45] yay; linux in browser! [14:45] It's just that [14:45] c koi ce truc [14:45] I'm running a win7 box just to run netflix right now [14:45] I've had no luck in getting a usb to boot so far... muht be me or my laptop... [14:45] Is there a way to uninstall Bastille from the command line screen in recovery and restore it. [14:46] !info bastille [14:46] bastille (source: bastille): Security hardening tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.0.9-13 (natty), package size 457 kB, installed size 1960 kB [14:46] sudo apt-get purge packagename should remove it. [14:46] yes the drm is supposed to work on the chromium plugin /netfix player , hence the rumours [14:46] I so seriously want Linux on my toaster... [14:46] a7i3n: to tweak or not to tweak [14:46] BluesKaj: awesome, im googling that, ive been waiting for years [14:47] you must like some fancy toast [14:47] That is the question Monkey Dust.... [14:47] say me please - how i can change my encourding in tty1,2,3... ? now i cant see russian words-i see only english but not russian [14:47] a7i3n: lol, i seriously wonder if the toaster actually has a microprocessor [14:47] !locale [14:47] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [14:48] libgtoast1.3 [14:48] go8765: i don't know, but maybe you'd want to try asking in #ubuntu-ru where they are probably more familiar with that sort of issue [14:48] pretty funny MonkeyDust... [14:49] hello! [14:49] I have a toaster with a processor... it occasionally flips the bread on the floor... [14:49] lol [14:49] Must be running XP [14:49] how can i hide some harddisk from desktop? [14:49] a7i3n a Rube Goldberg computer? [14:49] !offtopic [14:49] #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! [14:49] cristy: use gconf-editor => nautilus - desktop [14:49] cristy: gnome has settings to show/hide all mounted/unmounted filesystmes.. not sure if you can hide just 1 [14:49] Gents I have problems with my laptop disk drive [14:50] Actually i'm serious... I really want to figure out a way to get linux on a toaster... [14:50] I'm loading now from a USB drive [14:50] LjL: i cant see nothing in this channel now) [14:50] a7i3n: its proberly allready been done.. [14:50] but still I keep getting stdin: I/O Error [14:50] unable to open /dev/sda [14:50] So I can set up an ssh tunnel to it and check up on my toast... [14:50] anyone can tell me what I can do [14:50] a7i3n: if it has an ip address, yes [14:51] Hello! How do I make the top panel is 11.04 transparent? It used to be so easy.. [14:51] RealKillaz: put your question in 1 line, it's easier to read [14:51] Most likely yes Dr_Willis... but I still want one... [14:52] ssh -Y toast@192.168.0.45 [14:52] If I'm running Natty, can I somehow installed the VIM that was packaged in Maverick? [14:52] *install [14:52] RealKillaz: its possible the hard drive is failing. [14:52] a7i3n: hmmm... you have to figure out if it has something like a PIC or an AVR [14:52] phox_: unity or gnome? unity is with the vertical launch bar [14:52] dr_willis you hit the problem [14:52] i want hide only 2 partitions [14:52] cristy: as i said. I think its all or nothing. [14:52] a7i3n: if it does, then you have to adapt the kernel code to compile on that architecture, which is not an easy task [14:53] monkeydust: The gnome panel on the top, the unity launcher on the left is already transparent. [14:53] Now you're talking submain... [14:53] Dr_Willis, it is failing, so tha's why I'm booting Ubuntu from a USB drive. such that I can fix the problem on the disk [14:53] phox_: using geforce fx 5***? [14:53] phox_: try changing the compiz settings, using ccsm [14:53] I'm just sick of my bread getting flung to the floor.... [14:54] a7i3n: however, most PICs i have worked with go as fast as 20mhz... It would be easier to establish a serial connection to your toaster [14:54] Gday for all , propperly driver for dell wirless 1397 under bt4 ? pls advise [14:54] bloublou: Nope, Ati HD 4850 or something. [14:54] RealKillaz: You may want to try to 'rescue' the drive to some other file on a differnt hard drive via dd_rescue or ddrescue. If fscking it fails. [14:54] MonkeyDust, very simple my hard disk is failing, I'm booting from a USB drive trying to load the OS such that I can mount the hd and try to fix it [14:54] phox_: http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/04/21/the-power-user%E2%80%99s-guide-to-unity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-power-user%25e2%2580%2599s-guide-to-unity [14:54] It's a "Krups Microchip" [14:54] monkeydust: yes, I've looked there, but not sure what to changed. I clicked something, and then the top panel went crazy and i rebooted. [14:54] RealKillaz: you are mounting /dev/sda1 and not /dev/sda correct? [14:55] Worst toaster ever.... [14:55] a7i3n: lol [14:55] Dr_Willis, I can not boot using the USB drive. I just want to boot from the USB drive how can I do that? There is a problem with the hard disk [14:55] Gday for all , propperly driver for dell wirless 1397 under bt4 ? pls advise / anybody hear me? [14:55] just confirm)) [14:55] guys, what's the cmd to deactivate InteractiveBastille on all runlevels? [14:55] hi all. I have a problem with wireless wifi broadcom 4727. But now I connect to Internet by TP-Link TL-WN321G and it's ok. Any suggestions? [14:55] Dr_Willis, during the boot on the USB drive it tells me it cant open /dev/sda [14:56] Dr_Willis, why is it trying to open the /dev./sda whil I'm booting from a OS on the USB drie [14:56] a7i3n: you could also get one of those small linux tiny computers and use a PIC micro to interface with the toaster I/O [14:56] drive* [14:56] Is there any particular problem with natty and Nvidia 8600 GTS cards? I can't get mine working. [14:56] a7i3n: that would be a lot easier [14:56] monkeydust: That doesn't seem to help me. [14:56] Thanks for the help submain. Dr_Willis et al [14:57] RealKillaz: could be its trying to scan it to see if it has swap or similer. [14:57] askhader: well my 8800gtsxxx works. but thats not quite the same card [14:57] guys, what's the cmd to deactivate InteractiveBastille on all runlevels? [14:57] a7i3n: no problem :) [14:57] !bastille [14:58] Dr_Willis, can be. How can I make him understand he shouldnt do anything from the hard disk.... I was hoping that it only loads the OS from the usb drive, since I think the hd is death [14:58] ooops - no entry for bastille [14:58] Yes, submain that might do the trick... I was looking at arduino boards as well but really wanted to do it with a ssh connection to get updates on my uh... toast... [14:58] Free-man: its been ages sinve ive seen bastille even mentioned. I dont recall ever seeing it mentioned in this channel untill just now. :) i guess its not that popular/common. [14:58] question === ng_ is now known as NG_ [14:58] a7i3n: arduino might do it, but i dont think they run linux [14:58] Free-man: tere maybe a wiki page for it. or check its homepage for docs. Ubuntu dosent really use runlevels. [14:59] Dr_Willis, the idea is to load the OS from the USB drive, after that try to mount and rescue the data on the disk [14:59] Dr_Willis ya, guest here tried it and he misconfd, deactive std login [14:59] after the update yesterday my desktop has reverted to the silver theme in 11.04 [14:59] phox_: Desktop - Ubuntu Unity Plugin - Experimental === gordon is now known as Guest28686 [14:59] Dr_Willis ah; ok... will improv then [14:59] RealKillaz: ive done it that waybefor with no hassles. Could be the HD is so crashed its confseing things [14:59] Yeah that is a problem submain... must be linux goodness in toaster... must... must... [14:59] but step1 loading the OS is failing since it tries to open the /dev/sda [14:59] phox_: Desktop - Ubuntu Unity Plugin - Experimental - Panel opacity [14:59] has anyone else had this happen? [14:59] RealKillaz: as a test. unplug the hd perhaps. [14:59] When I point nginx to an encrypted path it doesn't read it, solutions besides not using an encrypted path? [15:00] Dr_Willis, its a laptop [15:00] hi all. I have a problem with wireless wifi broadcom 4727. But now I connect to Internet by TP-Link TL-WN321G and it's ok. Any suggestions? [15:00] RealKillaz: so? :) its hd is removeable. [15:00] Hi guys.. strugling with Ubuntu 11.04 and Paralells Desktop 6 .. I want to install kismet but the virtuell driver for wlan are probably may issue here.. any advice? i use Macbook Pro latest [15:00] a7i3n: you may use the serial module of arduino to comunicate with linux; technically you will have a toaster that runs linux... [15:01] RealKillaz: i got a 'universial' usb cable i use for recovering diffenrt hds - if you had some usb-bay for the drive you could try repairing it on a differnt machine even. [15:01] a7i3n: you can add ethernet to the arduino [15:01] Dr_Willis, and if it loads without the disk then what have I accomplished.... I need it to load with the HD so I can rescue :-( [15:01] Hi guys! My Atheros AR2413 doesnt works in 11.04! Someone know what can I do? [15:01] Dr_Willis: Are you using NVidia's blob, or Nouveau? [15:01] hi all. I have a problem with wireless wifi broadcom 4727. But now I connect to Internet by TP-Link TL-WN321G and it's ok. Any suggestions? [15:02] RealKillaz: it would show its not some other odd issue going on. since ive never seen your exact issue befor in this channel. It may be somthing very werd happening. [15:02] I gonna make a toaster like that and sell on thinkgeek lol [15:02] That is a thought submain... thanks I'll go off and think this one over...tonight I'm going to do a teardown of the toaster to find out what kind of CPU it has and if anyting can be done...

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

With a new user the problem still happening, i have no panels-bars on my desktop. I remind u that i uninstalled compiz, and emerald after upgrade and after that appeared the problem, i reainsalled only compiz, should i reinstall more packets? [15:34] wendico he left [15:34] nemesisgy: in most cases you don't need a firewall, (other than the one on your router). [15:34] oh hehe [15:34] thank u free-man [15:34] wendico: you need Metacity as window manager [15:34] wendico what's the installed bootloader? yw [15:35] Dr_Willis: nomodeset didn't do a thing.

[15:43] Skaperen, aptitude has that capability. [15:43] you just -packages and it won't install them [15:44] not what I asked [15:44] IdleOne: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/unity-keyboard-mouse-shortcuts this says super+D while mine is super+s [15:44] that's why i am confused [15:44] Hello All, I need a Noob Freindly Easy to Use GUI IDE for C/C++, Any1 ?

[15:48] How to know the my laptop's touchpad make. A friend has touchpad problem in natty. [15:48] roasted: I think it is a warning as much as anything else. webmin is a vulnernability issue. [15:48] IdleOne, I didn't realize that. kind of a bummer. I liked webmin when I last used it. Thanks. [15:48] IdleOne: so basically, no one knows how to do what I asked ... if it's even possible [15:48] te, oh really?? [15:48] te, how so? [15:48] roasted: As the bot says, webmin doesn't deal well with Debian-style configuration files. [15:49] Last night my touchpad stopped working...when I am logged in to 10.10, it will not work at all, completely unresponsive. If I am on the login screen, it is fine, if I log into 11.04, it is fine. I don't think I changed anything that would cause it to disable itself, but...it doesn't work (and I need to use 10.10 primarily, so "just use 11.04" isn't helpful). Any thoughts? [15:49] rww, I see. I was just trying to understand how it didn't play nice. If I were a webmin dev I'd try to make it universal. *shrug* [15:49] Skaperen: it isn't possible really, you can pin packages to stay at current installed version but you can't upgrade only packagexy for example [15:49] Anyway, thanks for your insight IdleOne rww te [15:49] But does anybody know how I can check the status of my raid array in ubuntu? Software raid, taht is (syncing, degraded, active drives, etc) [15:49] IdleOne: sure it is [15:49] Cheri703: sounds likea feature designed to makey ou upgrade [15:49] Skaperen: sudo apt-get install packagename will upgrade instead of installing if the package is already installed. [15:49] rww: it is? [15:49] IdleOne: pinning every one of the packages in the system, doing selected upgrades, then unpinning every package ... does that sound like what it takes? [15:50] roasted: Some use it temporarily and then uninstall it, for security purposes. But it is not necessary and not good to be used on ubuntu systems. [15:50] @iszak i read iptables and i don't know how it relates to ping attacks through proxies [15:50] mrdeb: yeah probably [15:50] lol [15:50] How to make the "repeat delay" of a key shorter ??? [15:50] rww: it also upgrades all the dependent packages, too ... including lots of system stuff [15:50] rww: I did not know apt-get install worked that way. thanks for the info :) [15:50] I just don't know why the touchpad would work FINE on the login screen (for 10.10) and then quit as soon as it's logged in [15:50] Guest12017, it'll allow you to block their IP's, I can't remember if it supports a range. [15:51] Guest11276, that said you could get a list of known proxies and block them. [15:51] Skaperen: Ah. No, there is no supported way to break dependency resolution horribly.

[15:52] How to make the "repeat delay" of a key shorter ??? [15:52] rww: lots and lots of packages don't need specific versions of other packages ... they can work with a wide range of versions ... but the problem is, if it is dependent, it upgrades the dependent to whatever the latest version is, even if the old version is fully usable [15:52] b44: keyboard option [15:52] mrdeb: how to enter that by terminal ?

[16:24] 2 things, delarge, [1]a closer server, and [2]Torrent === lbt is now known as lbt_2 [16:25] yeah sure, but i dont know a closer server for this reason im asking [16:25] but im going to try the torrent [16:25] jstoone: delarge only said 'hi there', and BOOM, you ubottu'd him/her [16:26] So I asked if you were pre-empting him/her [16:26] BorgTK2001: what config files or symlinks will metacity --replace modify? [16:26] Ahhh, nclx, that part I do not know [16:26] nclx, none [16:27] nclx, it just kills any active window manager and starts metacity in its place [16:27] how do you speed up the 1104 desktop [16:27] I do know in 11.04 Unity runs on compiz, so if you enable metacity, Unity will not 'run' [16:27] But to remove Unity from 11.04 is like removing Internet Explorer from Window 7 [16:28] much better the torrent [16:28] cheers :) [16:28] te, Here is my sources.list: http://pastebin.com/uDW3wP6x [16:28] delarge, no troubles :) [16:28] how can I tell what keeps hanging my 10.10 install... I leave it for a week and come back and it is all locked up with the screen blanked and I have to power down and restart to revive it? [16:28] BorgTK2001, nope , you can't remove IE from windows :) [16:28] BorgTK2001: also if one does not wish to use Unity? [16:28] dougl, hardware? [16:28] dougl, does it suspend resume properly? [16:28] te, I didn't change anything, I came like that after a fresh install [16:29] BorgTK2001: delarge: I'm sorry about that, I'm not pre-empting him/her at all. I've just always been told to do so, when people say "hi all" etc. without a question - which kinda makes me look like an insensible person who doesn't do anything other than wait for someone to do something wrong, but I really ain't like that. [16:29] dougl: Check your hardware. Look for bulging caps on the mother board. Test memory. [16:29] kltrg: sudo apt-get update [16:29] jajajajaja [16:29] no problem ;) [16:29] yes metacity --replace made my desktop responsive again [16:29] i hate ubottu [16:30] jstoone: My apologies, also - I should not presume how things occur in here seeing as it is my first time :) [16:30] te, I'll so that [16:30] whats to hate jack_^ [16:30] jack_^: whassamatter? [16:30] ubottu: is very intelligent [16:30] MonkeyDust: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:30] nclx, if you still want the unity like experience you can use unity-2d === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [16:30] great, nclx :) [16:30] The only thing ubottu does is yell at me when the ops tell it to. :/ [16:30] te, But do you know why it ignores some sources on every apt-get update? It's the same sources every time [16:31] I'm still not sure how to fix unity or make a permanant change of window manager or anything. Ubuntu forums states that gdm login should offer a "Ubuntu Classic" option but I don't see that and I'm not sure which config file to enable it in [16:31] jack_^, I don't think it is a hardware issue... the machine is tried and true on 8.04 install until I upgraded(complete new install to formated drive) to 10.10 [16:31] escott: yes I'd like to try unity to see what its all about [16:31] What that command did is just tell X that you want metacity to make your window borders and the like [16:31] !hate | jack_^ [16:31] jack_^: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy [16:31] ^wtf mate! haha [16:31] ;) [16:31] escott, checking suspend and resume now [16:31] I'd also like to try to unity-3d working if I can figure out what the deal is [16:31] !troll | jack_^ [16:31] but, nclx, you wont be able to have fancy wobble windows, etc [16:31] fail [16:31] I like wobbly windows [16:32] some people do not ;) [16:32] nclx, what graphics card do you have? if you don't know !paste the output of lspci and we can tell you [16:32] Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS [16:33] That should be enough to run compiz [16:33] it was working with compiz before I upgraded to natty [16:33] Hello all. Good morning! Does anyone know if it's possible to mount --bind a directory another user owns but change the owner to another user when its accessed from the new mount point. example: (this is what i'm trying to do) mount -t none -o bind,rw,uid=1000,gid=100 /home/user1 /home/user2/user1-home [16:33] driver issue, most liekly then, nclx [16:33] if I do lsmod the nvidia driver is loaded [16:33] What about if you run with nouvous? [16:33] xbris: So what error do you get? [16:33] I'll try to run metacity and run glxgears to see what it does [16:33] xbris, don't think so [16:34] no error, just no change in the binded directories ownership [16:34] I cannot spell Nouvous correct - I'm not French ;) [16:34] xbris, i doubt that'd work. can you try adding yourself ot the group or adjusting the permisions on the original folder? [16:34] Nouveau [16:34] hello everybody [16:34] hi newbuntu [16:34] Thanks, rww [16:34] hi everyone [16:34] nclx, glxgears is not very informative glxinfo is better. even mesa pure software gl can run glxgears faster than screen refresh [16:35] yeah.. idk maybe it's too early or i havent had enough coffee yet HEH i've just been attempting to make this happen for the last 40 minutes [16:35] k installing it now [16:35] I have a Q, too, people [16:35] Q: With compiz running [Lucid 10.04LTS], on my Lenovo 3000 C100, the window boarders randomly vanish. Where are the logs so I can see the crash reports in action for these errors? [16:35] BorkTK2001, nclx, nouveau 3d support is minimal at this point. he should use the proprietary nvidia driver [16:36] BorgTK2001, what graphics card do you have [16:36] escott: he has those drivers already, and unity is not working for him [16:36] So I suggest the next simple solution, Nouveau === k is now known as Guest65088 [16:36] xbris: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [16:37] Good question, escott [16:37] BorgTK2001, ok. for your wobbly windows have you tried http://iloveubuntu.net/desktop-cube-has-just-been-resurrected-natty-narwhal-doesnt-break-unity-anymore [16:37] I only use LTS releases [16:37] xbris, im pretty sure what you want to do isn't possible [16:37] I have wobbily windows and compiz works after a fashion [16:38] But it just randomly stops [16:38] yeah i havent had any lucky getting it done on ext4 [16:38] escott, the suspend seems to work ok but the resume does not work so much - lol... I should just disable the suspend. [16:38] and I'm left with the contents of the window but not the borders [16:38] BorgTK2001, is compiz completely crashing? or just the borders disappear? [16:38] X must still be running, as I see the contents [16:38] But the borders vanish [16:38] i was just writing a script to mount my vfat external hdd and i had to jump through hoops to get it mount right through fstab [16:38] need help pls [16:39] instead of.. well whatever the system uses to automount usb drives and the like [16:39] metacity works wonderfully for me [16:39] dougl, you can debug suspend resume, its mostly a matter of adding modules to the suspend blacklist and then trying one at a time to add them back, but that seems to be your problme [16:39] no troubles [16:39] but I want my wobbly windows [16:40] BorgTK2001, i've heard of compiz not drawing the decorations but still running. more likely is compiz just crashing. you could start compiz with compiz --replace from a terminal and then monitor the output. if it crashes it should say why [16:41] I'll try that - but it may take 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or a couple of hours - the crash 'seems' not to be repeatable with the same method [16:41] xbris, udisks/something-volume-manager does the automounting [16:42] how do i get a list of channels [16:42] BorgTK2001, you could tweak your session with gnome-session-properties to dump the stderr to somwhere you can find it [16:42] jasonj2000, /list [16:42] thnx [16:42] WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug! [16:43] escott, hey - thanks so much for such detailed diagnostics, I really appreciate it. [16:43] Does anyone know where I can get the deb files for the games I purchased in the Ubuntu Software Center? [16:43] unity is an application bug [16:43] WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug! [16:43] okay I ran metacity --replace and then glxinfo, it says: direct rendering: Yes [16:43] is it possible to limit the bandwidth that my computer can use for certain times of the day? [16:43] unity is the bug, gnome is the solution [16:43] "/list does not list channels [16:43] MonkeyDust: yes gnome is the solutino [16:44] Anything in particular I should check for in the glxinfo output? [16:44] dougl, yeah sorry i dont know much about suspend, just vague general stuff [16:44] MonkeyDust: Pardon? Ubuntu Unity runs Gnome [16:44] hello [16:44] they were not in the /var/cache/apt/archives/ [16:44] Unity is the future [16:44] escott, I will google the suspend blacklist thing... err is there some where I should start in the gnome desktop? [16:44] can someone tell me the command to list chat channels [16:44] jasonj2000: this is ubuntu support, try #freenode [16:44] I just wish they supported it on Lucid [16:45] thx [16:45] i had a problem whith my soun card could anyone help me [16:45] ? [16:45] #freenode [16:45] hello world.. i am having trouble installing the fwcutter-b43 firmware utility to get my wirless card working on xubuntu 11.0.4.. any takers? [16:45] need help pls [16:45] dougl, its all outside of the gui for the most part. basically not all your hardware is suspend/resumable. maybe your sound card driver or your wireless card driver needs some modifications to be suspendable. the workaround is to add the driver (kernel module) to a blacklist which says "before suspending disable this driver" [16:45] use jockey for wireless [16:46] where can i find youtube videos in my ubuntu 11.04 [16:46] jockey? [16:46] i'm browsing with chromium [16:46] wats up amby [16:46] hey nithin935 [16:46] jc: ya [16:46] it searches for [16:46] escott: When I do that command in a terminal - my panels are gone, but the windows are wobbly [16:46] restricted drivers [16:46] I want my panels AND wobbly windows :) [16:46] Nickserv Identify MelanieWilson [16:46] should i remove all the b43 stuff? [16:46] amby: wat hap[pened amby [16:47] dougl, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume [16:47] nithin935, u have any idea where i can find tmp videos on the ubuntu 11.04 [16:47] escott, thanks for the info... recalling blacklisting now from the satelite tv on linux days.... [16:47] need help pls !! [16:47] used to be in the tmp folder before, but its no longer there [16:47] BorgTK2001 & escott glxinfo says direct rendering: Yes, does that indicate that the nvidia driver is working fine or may there still be a problem with it? [16:47] escott, nice link - thanks so much [16:47] amby: just search for it using the search utility, do a serach for *.flv [16:47] BorgTK2001: i tried to combine both, too, and it ruined my system [16:48] it says its already installed? [16:48] BorgTK2001, your gnome-panel at the top disappeared? at the least compiz is working (you wouldn't have wobbly windows without it), not sure why the panel disappeared [16:48] Working after a fashion, nclx [16:48] jockey-gtk, not kde tho [16:48] tyrone: oops [16:49] And then, escott, when I did metacity --replace in the terminal after ctrl-c'ing out of compiz [16:49] my panels can back [16:49] nithin935, thanks, i'm trying that now [16:49] and wobbly windows vanished [16:49] can = came [16:49] nclx, if glxinfo says DRI is enabled and the driver is the nvidia driver and glxgears works at all then the nvidia driver should be working [16:49] oCean you mean my stupidity giving away my password? [16:49] tyrone: change it and you'll be fine [16:49] serves me right for not checking syntax first [16:49] nithin935, is there anything i can do to make them save in the tmp folder again? [16:49] lol [16:50] yeah, googling that now [16:50] :P [16:50] does the ubuntu 11.04 installation support rootfs encryption? [16:50] Could be some graphics FLAG the card may or my not support, nclx [16:50] good thing I didn't give my bank pin number along with it [16:50] :P [16:50] or do I still need to use the alternate installer? [16:50] my = may [16:50] amby, you can often save streams directly out of firefox with firebug [16:50] tyrone: /MSG NickServ SET PASSWORD mynewpassword [16:50] glxgears did work as well [16:50] glxgears can be emulated, though [16:50] nclx, what happens when you try compiz --replace in the terminal [16:51] Did glxgears runs smooth or jumpy [16:51] oCean, thanks [16:51] it ran smooth at about 880 FPS [16:51] escott, how do i do that? [16:51] BorgTK2001, the point is that glxinfo says his glx source is dri nvidia, even mesa can run glxgears smoothly these days [16:51] tyrone: welcome [16:52] set PASSWORD newPass [16:52] jj === JasonO is now known as Rapture [16:55] amby, maybe you can't save the stream. i thought you could. you can at least get the url and the request headers which are enough for wget [16:55] how smooth is smoothly, escott [16:55] as a Gamer [that dual boots windows] [16:55] BorgTK2001, faster than screen refresh [16:55] I know emulated when I see it ;) === fred_ is now known as Guest32929 [16:57] http://mapping.ax3.net/ [16:57] BorgTK2001, i'm not sure i can. thats why i advise looking at glxinfo [16:57] how many time do it takes to make "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" on a 500gb sata hd? [16:57] I also want Home World 2 to run smoothly, but I'll be happy with wobbly windows first ;) [16:57] can someone help me with my Android phone, i am in the Android channell, and it appears my ubuntu box is not mounting the SDcard that is being brought to it via my phone. [16:58] escott: compiz --replace reloads unity which sits there unresponsive [16:58] Why there is no notification when I receive a new email?

[16:59] subcool: make sure you have sd mode on in the setting [16:59] blinkyb, i think xangua mean email client open to get them [16:59] is there a way to disable suspending my computer when not in use (just blank the screen?) as I don't have time to debug my suspend function until next week? [17:00] dougl, open up the power management tool [17:00] actually I don't really want the suspend to even work as it is a media server too [17:00] xangua, what do u mean [17:00] escott: sorry the window manager keeps reloading and shutting down my terminal [17:00] I think the USB debugging is in the 'applications' section [17:00] i have all that taken care of [17:00] its a ubuntu issue [17:01] when I press ctrl+alt+t it launches a terminal and I can type in it but I don't see it because unity is unresponsive and isn't repainting the screen it seems [17:01] once I type metacity --replace though then it becomes responsive [17:01] and I see metacity load [17:01] and the terminals I have launched display [17:01] how i desactivate the integrated video card? [17:02] nclx, ok do windows not get drawn completely? [17:02] nclx: unity uses compiz, not metacity; try: compiz --replace & [17:02] braiam, in your bios [17:02] Does anyone know where the emblem information is stored in Ubuntu 10.10 ? [17:02] escott: they don't get drawn at all [17:02] xangua: I know, we're troubleshooting [17:02] escott, thanks... it only had suspend option for when the suspend button was press so I changed that to hibernate instead of suspenc [17:02] escott: already done, but ubuntu still use it [17:02] err suspend [17:03] nclx, try running this: compiz --replace &> ~/compiz.errors; sleep 15; metacity --replace; then look at the compiz.errors file [17:03] awesome will try it [17:04] I'll sign off of irc lol but I'll be back [17:04] braiam, what is your other video card [17:04] I am having a ram issue with 10.04.

[17:28] something like nautilus-sendto, but in cli [17:29] Yuval, it won't be in jobs because jobs is attached to the bash shell which you closed. it should be listed in top though [17:29] ok [17:29] Yuval: Obviously, you closed your bash session, the job is no longer "yours". [17:29] ahh sweetness, thanks so much! [17:29] Yuval, you will have a hard time connecting to it though, if that is your goal you should use screen [17:29] IS there any way to resize the dock icons?

[17:40] is it possible to freeze the OS and put it into USB ? [17:40] Yuval, the command is only valid in your session [17:40] oh.. nohup [17:40] So how can I keep track of previously processes started with nohup? [17:41] Yuval: what do you mean. ps -ef|grep java [17:41] I suppose its not possible as lots of hardware dependencies are there [17:41] thevishy, What do you mean [17:41] Yuval: 'ps' doesn't show all the processes [17:41] thevishy, 'freeze' the OS? [17:41] edbian, like need to use my friends laptop , but my OS [17:41] thevishy: Sort of, you mean like a USB LiveCapture? [17:41] thevishy, Would clonezilla do what you want?

[17:46] Puck_, That's a kernel panic. Usually that sort of thing is caused by bad hardware [17:46] edbian: init segfaulted -- not enough RAM. [17:46] theadmin, I see [17:46] hi i can't install ubuntu in virtualbox 4.04 - is this normal (ubunt 11.04 desktop release) - the sha256sum matches what it should [17:47] i get dropped to a busybox pompt :/ [17:47] Hm, or maybe indeed they messed up the vbox hardware, edbian [17:47] What kind ? CD, processor, memory?? [17:47] Too many people with the same problem xD [17:47] theadmin, Perhaps. I think you're right [17:47] it works with ps aux... Actually a weird thing.

[18:18] my system is shutting down after a few minutes when init 0 was initiated or restarting after the same long duration - this happens since I am using a SSD - any ideas why this occurs? it takes about 3-5 minutes to halt/reset. filesystem is ext3 [18:18] over avian pigeons. [18:19] the regular interface its connected to, am not an expert, but nvidia cuda project [18:19] aims at using the vast powerr of a gpu [18:19] I meant if the regular interface is not available [18:19] and its awesome wat i heard [18:19] could a gpu be programmed to send over a usb? [18:19] programmed to send over a usb, what? [18:20] How do I wget and install SRWare Iron, or is it an apt-get and do I need to add a ppa? [18:20] could a gpu send signals directly over some protocol,to reach a cpu that it is not connected to by the regular interface? [18:20] yes yes man read on cuda [18:20] cocomango: yes and no. [18:21] "cuda " [18:21] im trying to move a bunch of folders from my windows mount to another drive but i get "mv: cannot remove directory ... : operation not supported" [18:21] hi [18:21] cocomango: you are talking about distributed operating system [18:21] cocomango: you are talking about distributed operating systems [18:21] cocomango: any device on the bus could, in theory, get access to other devices on the bus [18:21] which is the area of much research. [18:21] cocomango: in PCI that is true ... not sure about PCIe [18:21] Skaperen: not if it is not within the address space of the computer [18:22] hi im wondering if anyone could help me figuring out what JRE would use the least RAM [18:22] any ideas? [18:22] so it would be possible since the gpu should be able to reach anything on the bus,without needing a cpu? [18:22] hellz: buy more ram. [18:22] project2501a: if it is not within the address space, then it can't be used at all even by the CPU [18:22] coldpizza72i, are you moving via nautilus or terminal? [18:22] terminal [18:22] lol [18:22] Skaperen: my point exactly. so it is not in theory. it needs to be within addressable space, by some mechanism. [18:22] i need more slots [18:22] hellz: buy denser memory :P [18:22] angheloko: * [18:22] can someone please file a bug that the default Ubuntu server for austria (tu-wien) is really slow and that the inode server (ubuntu.inode.at) should be used as default? [18:23] project2501a: and if it is a device that works, it is [18:23] Skaperen: still same error. /var/lib/dpkg/available is 2.7 MB. The 2nd line in http://pastebin.com/tWDhdv49 says there is a missing colon at the end [18:23] hellz: You need to measure [18:23] coldpizza72i, from a mounted win dir, rght? are u sure its mounted? [18:23] nouveau + gallium3d really does the trick to still have enabled brightness hotkeys =) [18:23] measure? [18:23] hellz: how much memory do you have right now? [18:23] yes im positive angheloko [18:23] 12 gigs [18:23] ... wtf are you running? [18:23] im running java based bots [18:23] angheloko: nada [18:23] hellz: it not really possible to make a general statement about what JRE uses the least RAM [18:23] bots? [18:23] BOTS? [18:23] porn bots? [18:23] lol java [18:23] ericb, no output from ifconfig? [18:23] no for runescape lol [18:23] lolyes [18:24] that's all I have to say [18:24] coldpizza72i, can you check ownership of the win dir [18:24] ubuntu, this is what happens when you do not point the user to the manual.... [18:24] omichalek: maybe one of your sources is corrupt ... have you modified /etc/apt/sources.list? try trimming it down to minimal sources and redo "apt-get update" [18:24] Skaperen: will try [18:24] angheloko: drwxrwxtwx [18:24] What's the best way to migrate from an old ubuntu install to a new one? of course with the same programs, settings. [18:25] that t is an r* [18:25] omichalek: comment out sources you don't need or added [18:25] iszak, from what to what distro? [18:25] angheloko: drwxrwxrwx [18:25] hmm.. the destination's ownership? what's your command? [18:25] omichalek: especially the partner and third-party sources [18:25] hi all [18:26] Hi. Is there a fix for Unity to have applications icons shown in the notification area? [18:26] angheloko: thats the same for both drives.... "ls -l /media/" [18:27] omichalek: FYI, I will be afk in 2 minutes ... G/L [18:27] Unity question. I have a dual monitor setup and when I have a program open in the left monitor and it needs to open a new window, it always opens it in a very small area at the left most of my screen (like a third monitor space). I then have to drag it out of that space so that I can expand it. If I open the same program on the right monitor it is fine. Any ideas? Or any ideas on how I should document it as a bug? [18:27] mactimes, not exactly the answer but worth considering. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/the-omg-guide-to-must-have-indicator-applets/ [18:27] Skaperen: there are no packages to be upgraded now :) [18:27] how i can change my Interface without login out ? [18:27] nit-wit, I'll check that. Thank you. [18:27] nit-wit, from ubuntu 11.04 to ubuntu 11.04 [18:27] coldpizza72i, ok, strange.. do you have enough memory - df -h? [18:27] iszak, from what to what distro? [18:27] hmmm, I have an Ubuntu here that completely refuses to boot... even when using single user.... I don't even get to GDM and none of the TTYs are working when it stops doing stuff.... here's the syslog I got when booting from a live cd http://www.sjau.ch/syslog.txt [18:28] coldpizza72i, what's the full command you used? [18:28] nit-wit, I just told you. [18:28] iszak, from 11.04 - 11.04 [18:28] exactly, to a new computer. [18:28] for moveing the file? angheloko ? [18:28] iszak, that is not old to new that is the same distro. Do you want another desktop? Can you be more clear.;) [18:29] nit-wit, I want to (?:re)?install ubuntu 11.04 on a new/other system and migrate all my programs/settings. [18:29] coldpizza72i, yes, the complete command.. see if you have enough space as well [18:29] iszak, brio the screen goes by and we help a lot of people snapping at a helper is not a good idea.;) [18:29] Does anyone know of any good apps for uploading/syncing with my amazon cloud drive? [18:29] iszak, clone it with clonezilla. [18:30] can't, not an option. [18:30] why [18:30] angheloko: mv /media/windows/ProgramData /media/datadrive/windowBackup/ [18:30] what's the easiest way to extend a desktop to an external display on a random laptop using the newest ubuntu? [18:30] randr [18:30] angheloko: what should i be looking for with "df -h" im not a pro at linux yet [18:30] nit-wit, because It's a different system? you can't just drop in the same files/hard drive into another system can you? atleast not with windows. [18:31] iszak, how bout tar-ing - tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/sys / [18:31] someone from official ubuntu team here? [18:32] angheloko, that could work but isn't there a way to export my programs + all my configs should be in my home, so tar that up, and just reinstall app the programs? [18:32] coldpizza72i, that will give you the size of your disks... make sure you have enough [18:32] iszak, that'll export everything inc configs and apps [18:32] How do I change the icons of things in the Unity launcher? [18:32] iszak, *backup everything [18:33] iszak, your not transferring windows, it is quite likely that a clone will work, no reason it shouldn't, and a clone does not destroy the original. [18:33] stravant how do you want to change them? [18:33] stravant: best idea is probably to create a custom launcher (right click the desktop, create launcher) then you can choose any icon you want (and then drag the file to the launcher) === scrooched_ is now known as scrooched [18:33] iszak, are you trying to move a wubi? [18:33] I did that but it just shows up as the default icon once I've dropped it into the unity launche [18:34] angheloko: usb, eth1 and lo [18:34] stravant: I've found you need to use a different name if it is for an app already in /usr/share/applications (for instance, my Terminal launcher I had to rename to Gnome Terminal to get recognized) [18:34] so, obviously I need to edit it where ever it's storing that info, any idea where it would be located? [18:35] !PM | ericb [18:35] ericb: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [18:35] angheloko: i have plenty of room on the destination disk [18:35] Also, I noticed that some of the thing in the lanucher that were there by default have more options in one single launcher, how can I add those for my own launchers? [18:35] sorry about that [18:36] I want to know where all of those settings are stored [18:36] ericb, run ifconfic eth1 down [18:36] stravant: I found that I needed to generate a SVG icon for my IntelliJ for the icon to show up in the launcher [18:36] ericb, *ifconfig [18:37] I am using an svg already =/ [18:37] still doesn't work [18:37] stravant: the launcher api page describes how to add quicklist items https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI , also someone is working on a gui to edit them, but I can't seem to find the link [18:37] coldpizza72i, try cp-ing instead? [18:37] Hello everyone! is there any way to put the menu bar and title bar on the top bar on ubuntu classic 11.04 like in unity? [18:37] angheloko: that doesnt work iether [18:37] ack [18:38] trism: Thanks, I don't need a GUI, I'm happy editing them by hand [18:38] done [18:38] angheloko: done [18:39] ericb, then up it again - ifconfig eth1 mode Managed && ifconfig eth1 up [18:40] in this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery how do i / what should i put for start and end? [18:40] angheloko: do i type that ? === shinnok is now known as Guest29220 [18:41] another question [18:41] Any idea where the .desktop files for the things that were in the lanucher by default are? [18:41] ericb, yes [18:41] !"downgrade package" [18:41] stravant, trism: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/how-to-unity-quicklists-for-libreoffice-gmail-and-chromium/ [18:41] angheloko: any other suggestions? [18:42] angheloko : sudo ifconfig eth1 mode Managed && ifconfig eth1 up [18:42] mode: Unknown host [18:42] coldpizza72i, remount the drive? [18:42] how do you unmount [18:42] I have a question [18:43] with the correct software [18:43] coldpizza72i, sudo umount /media/* [18:43] could a computer boot a file transfer protocol [18:43] with no cpu,just a gpu? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [18:43] stravant: I found a bunch in /usr/share/applications [18:43] folks, anyone any idea what I have to do when adding a new ppa to my software sources using linux mint 10 and it says "copy the code; deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main"? grrr [18:44] is there any way to change $COLUMNS and $LINES thru CLI? [18:44] any ideas? [18:44] ericb, hmm.. it seems that eth1 is not your wireless card... can you show the output of ifconfig [18:44] stravant: panel launchers are copied from a default gconf scheme in /apps/panel/default_setup defined in /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries [18:44] ericb, and iwconfig [18:44] stravant: at least, the initial panel launchers are === go8765_gj is now known as go876543 [18:45] Rziz: Any idea what would be causing the launchers to just show the default "spring" laucnher icon when I move them into the launcher? [18:45] angheloko: http://pastebin.com/RWSpc4Uv [18:45] is there any way to change $COLUMNS and $LINES thru CLI? i [18:46] ericb, so its eth2.. [18:46] how can I use an earlier version of unison in 11.04? [18:46] stravant: if you edit the icon after creating the launcher, it adds an additional Icon: entry to the end of the file, but the launcher uses the first Icon: entry it finds (nautilus will use the last), someone was going to file a bug about it, but don't know if that ever happened [18:46] how can I install an earlier version of unison in 11.04? [18:46] one last thing,using this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA you dont need to use a cpu in a computer,as long as you compile agaisnt that ,same software will run on a gpu [18:46] is there any way to change $COLUMNS and $LINES thru CLI? im sshing from my droid and the screen size is wrong [18:47] it still gives me mode: unknown host error [18:47] (same,with some functional difrences) [18:47] wait [18:47] wrong thread [18:47] ignore that [18:47] angheloko: it still gives me mode: unknown host error [18:47] MrKeuner: Unity?

[18:50] angheloko: do you think the problem could have something to do with the fact im using a live cd [18:50] angheloko: its my phone, using it to get wifi signal then share it to my laptop [18:51] Hello, i have installed restricted extras libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2, still the dvd wont read [18:51] coldpizza72i, no... not really... live cds are used for situations like this (rescue) [18:51] why cant i upgrade to 11.04 it keeps saying something about held packs [18:51] angheloko: HPFS/NTFS [18:52] Evening [18:52] why cant i upgrade to 11.04 it keeps saying something about held packs [18:53] I'm not sure if I'm in the right place for some support [18:53] hi i was writing a script, which seemed to work fine on another computer but isnt working on my computer [18:53] coldpizza72i, can you make a new dir in /mnt (ie mkdir /mnt/source) then do a mount (ie mount --bind /media/source /mnt/source) [18:53] why cant i upgrade to 11.04 it keeps saying something about held packs [18:53] test [18:53] milostrstic: What's your question?

[18:56] During my install of 11.04 the installer asked what to use for swap space (I have 3 partitions - 1 for windows - 2 for storage 3 for ubuntu) I selected to use my 2nd partion. And now I can't see that partition, is there anyway to restore this or to gain access to the swap partition so I can get all my data that was there? [18:56] ok i did that...* [18:56] coldpizza72i, do the same for your destination [18:57] CrustyBarnacle: yea earlier this evening on the server. i emailed it to myself and now it isnt working on my home computer! === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [18:57] to 10.04 yes im [18:57] miloskrstic: making a swap partition removes all the previous data [18:57] ericb, so you're using your phone now to connect? hmm.. what's iwconfig output?

Got the script to give me "Number of images=0" [19:14] trism, thanks for that [19:14] Can anyone help me get my USB presentation device working, details from lsusb and dmesg at http://pastebin.com/d3JSVM9a [19:15] and ubuntu just logged me out for no appearent reason.

[19:19] i downloaded msttfonts but they're ugly just like on windows [19:19] yesterday, I was watching a 720p video and the video stopped, the audio repeated, and the machine became unresponsive [19:19] neoinr: So this is an 8G USB drive? [19:20] how to i reload grub [19:20] today, I left it sit with the screen locked, a browser, xchat and transmission, and when I came to use it again, it would not respond.

What was it? [19:21] jakemp: output of df -h / please [19:21] jakemp, one of my windows machines does that. Basically the video format used in that video crashed the display drivers for a resolution that is not supported. after the program quits I end up with a 320x240 display and must restart. I think that might be a similar issue for your video card [19:21] CrustyBarnacle: MS Carriage Returns while transitioning through an MSWIN PC.

[19:24] siptah, install python-software-properties [19:24] archlinux had a handy vercmp binary i could script use.. [19:24] anyone know how i can get a list of what shortcuts are on my gnome panel? [19:24] ericb, did you run it with sudo? [19:24] . [19:25] yep [19:25] hi why i can create box on Glade interface designer [19:25] angheloko: yep === ninline is now known as coldfire [19:25] tanath: gconf-editor i think. actual items are individual entries in there somewhere iirc. [19:25] ericb, any output in the term? [19:25] !info python-software-properties | siptah this is the package for add-apt-repository [19:25] siptah this is the package for add-apt-repository: python-software-properties (source: software-properties): manage the repositories that you install software from. In component main, is optional. Version 0.80.9 (natty), package size 19 kB, installed size 216 kB [19:26] neoinr: Have you tried just booting up with it in? [19:26] te: yes, the usb dongle connects but i cannot move the mouse or click, and xev does not respond to it [19:26] cn you give me advice on measuring traffic on linux machines? [19:26] neoinr: Try xinput [19:26] iftop/iptop/ntop [19:27] @reggie [19:27] Hi. I have put floppy module in the blacklist.conf but it still loads when I boot up. What seems to be wrong? [19:27] djustice, thanks! [19:27] te: what syntax/full command do i use [19:27] reggie: have you tried Munin? [19:28] neoinr: I dono [19:28] i click an it doenst work [19:28] neoinr: man xinput [19:28] angheloko: http://pastebin.com/bU14ucyK [19:28] nascentmind: What is the exact file you edited? [19:29] who [19:29] whoops [19:29] djustice, erm, now how do i delete items? won't let me [19:29] djustice, some editor... [19:30] Jordan_U, blacklist.conf [19:30] tanath: dunno, sry. im a qt/kde guy. the right click menu once upon a time had a delete item.. :? [19:30] nascentmind: In your home directory? What is the full path? [19:30] Skaperen so i did remove the kernel in question but the problem remains. The thing is, there is no /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko file! [19:30] djustice, except there is no context menu [19:30] Jordan_U, oh. its /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [19:31] if I have commands I want to run on boot whats the best way to do that? [19:31] can anynoe help me with fstab real quick? im trying to enable readwrite for a user group on a mounted share? [19:31] te: i did a test of my touchpad, and recieved events when i moved it. i tested the device and got nothing [19:31] nascentmind: Can you pastebin the contents of that file? [19:32] Gskellig, rc.local [19:32] Jordan_U, no I don't have that machine with me now. The exact line would be -> blacklist flopyy. [19:32] ericb, it means there are no DHCP servers.. i think.. make sure you disconnect your phone.. kill network-manager and make sure that /etc/network/interfaces only contains 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback', comment the rest of the lines, then try again [19:32] 'sup [19:32] Jordan_U, sorry its blacklist floppy [19:32] tanath: o.o hahaha :) interesting. [19:33] escott can u help me out with an fstab thing real quick? [19:33] LAcan, is this CIFS/samba? [19:33] djustice, googleing suggests gconftool-2, but that's tedious [19:33] question, where are the xscreensavers? the config UI lists them all.. but says they are uninstalled. [19:33] escott, ya i just neet o understand how the GUID parameter works...? [19:34] tanath: no idea. why can't you edit the panels manually? [19:34] nascentmind: That sounds right, but it's hard to debug things like this just from memory. For instance you may have also made a typo on that line, or there may be a syntax error earlier in the file. [19:34] sounds like a bug or fail.. [19:34] LAcan, its just uid=###,gid=#### or some variant thereof. check /etc/group and /etc/passwd for the numbers [19:34] escott; im wondering if this line "credentials=/home/poweruser/.smbcredentials,GUID=119" will allow any members of that group to write to the share? [19:35] djustice, 'cause that's the problem... the icon for at least one shortcut has disappeared [19:35] could anybody help, please? whenever I try to install or update any package, I get this: http://pastebin.com/tWDhdv49 Uninstalling packages works. [19:35] I already removed additional sources/ppas and removed the kernel in question [19:35] angheloko: tried it already (thats what i did when i got disconnected, i disabled my phones wifi) and i got disconnected on my laptop even running the bash script you gave me [19:35] djustice, this isn't the first time either, so i'm looking to do some cleanup [19:35] LAcan, it should give them group ownership, i dont know all the details with SAMBA though. they may still be restricted by the permissions of the files themselves [19:35] LAcan: it is uid= or gid= === Guest17126 is now known as m00se [19:35] oCean, not clear.. i must use a UID paramaeter as well? [19:36] Jordan_U, I am pretty sure there is no typo. If there is a syntax error would the kernel quietly ignore and not print in the boot messages? at least it should show in the dmesg output right? [19:36] tanath: maybe the icon is unavailable at panel creation time? it's located on a seperate partition/device? then gnome automounts it after drawing the panel items? just a guess.. === skeptic220 is now known as athrelmo [19:36] if the normal context menus aren't working, sth else.. [19:36] LAcan: there is no guid= paramter, it is uid= (userid) or gid= (groupid) see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [19:36] djustice, nope [19:36] nascentmind: I don't know. [19:36] oCean, ahh right ok ty [19:36] ah. failcake. plasma<3. [19:37] neoinr: Maybe you need some sort of driver software? [19:37] oCean, will that give ownebrship and r/w access to the share for any members of that group? [19:37] ericb, have you edited your interfaces file? are you using a static IP. from the scripts output it seems a prob with the DHCP (No DHCPOFFERS received).. anyway, try my last suggestion.. gtg now [19:37] djustice, i suspect it's thumbnails getting cleaned up or something... [19:37] LAcan, you probably want to use both uid and gid at the same time. it would be odd to use only one [19:37] te: none available from vendor or 3rd parties to my knowledge, i hadnt thought it would be an issue, it uses the default HID driver for windows [19:38] angheloko: using dynamic ip. thanks for the help anyway [19:38] hi, 2 nvida cards , on screen0 glxgears and video ok, but on screen1 is glxgears and video black. [19:38] ahhh, screensaver issue -> needs an x restart to start the daemon.. seems like the .deb should attempt to launch the daemon tho.. [19:38] LAcan: haven't used it in a while, but it should set the uid/user as owner of the share, so I would think 'yes' to your question [19:38] omichalek: you already ran: apt-get update; right? try: apt-cache dumpavail > Packages; sudo dpkg --update-avail ./Packages; [19:38] oCean, escott, ty ima give that a go [19:38] hi [19:39] trism i did. is this one line? apt-cache dumpavail > Packages; sudo dpkg --update-avail ./Packages; [19:39] omichalek, head -n 22405 /var/lib/dpkg/available | tail -n 10 | pastebinit [19:40] is there a way to get commands to run as boot besides rc.local [19:40] omichalek: it can be, it is two commands though [19:40] pcpower: thanks :) from this utils i dont know about iptof, i will try that [19:40] i need to install ubuntu from the command line on kubuntu [19:40] pcpower: i'm measuring just bandwidth for on eapplication [19:40] Gskellig, cron [19:40] *application [19:41] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [19:41] will that do it? [19:41] Gskellig, you can set a command as startup application [19:42] omichalek: if it doesn't work, go with escott's command, would be interesting to see the actual error (maybe something wrong with your mirror) [19:46] if testdisk can't find a partition how bad of an idea is it to delete all mbr data? [19:46] trism awesome! it worked and I just updated my packages! [19:46] omichalek: excellent! [19:46] where can I search for channels ?? [19:46] trism what did it do actually? [19:47] alextybob, at the least email yourself the output of sudo fdisk -l [19:47] ok will do [19:47] omichalek: it regenerated /var/lib/dpkg/available from the apt cache [19:48] CheckMate7: irc.netsplit.de [19:48] CheckMate7: http [19:50] how can I specific some one here " red " ? [19:51] ? [19:51] CheckMate7: red? [19:51] red? [19:51] trism but what was the problem in /var/lib/dpkg/available? could it have something to do with nvidia binary? or could have used some malicious ppa? [19:51] CheckMate7, like this? [19:51] CheckMate7: Use thier nick in your message. [19:52] omichalek: there was a syntax error in your available file, I'm not entirely sure how it got there, I was just hoping apt's version was correct [19:52] :) [19:52] does anyone know how to find out what resolution setting your computer bootup screen uses ? reason why is when i turn on my computer it fills the screen properly but when the os loads i'm missing like 5% of the screen on all sides [19:52] !tab | CheckMate7 [19:52] CheckMate7: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:53] trism and it had something to with /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko [19:53] anyway trism Skaperen escott thank you all very much! [19:53] lwizardl, you mean plymouth is running in standard resolution, but X is running widescreen? [19:53] lwizardl: Maybe check the config for GRUB (if thats the bootloader you use) [19:53] menu.lst is missing, how to get it [19:54] bbuilt: are you sure you want menu.lst? That's for GRUB, not GRUB2 (the current version) [19:54] !grub2 | bbuilt [19:54] bbuilt: 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) [19:54] omichalek, we can't find out now cause the files was replaced. in this happens again you can go to the line specified in the error and see what the contents are [19:55] escott, ok when my MSI boot screen pops up and says 512MB VRAM etc its properly full screen but when ubuntu splash loads its edge of the screen is about 5% away from the edges from each side. think like on html the padding would be off [19:55] How would I go about customizing the welcome message for SSH? [19:55] hi can somebody hel [19:55] p [19:56] lwizardl: Tried pressing the autoconfig button on your monitor? Often fixes small resolution errors [19:56] ya leander tell ur problem [19:56] NeoBlaster, TV not monitor [19:56] lwizardl, well thats plymouth. its probably just using vesa standard resolution instead of a widescree [19:56] im on 10.04 trying 2 upgrade 2 10.10 but it says something about held packs or something like that heres pics of what it says (http://img580.imageshack.us/i/screenshotfx.png/ | http://img849.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1nl.png/ ) [19:56] lwizardl: Wrong name :P [19:56] lwizardl, you can adjust that in /etc/defaults i think. but its only plymouth, not super important [19:57] hi, 2 nvida cards , on screen0 glxgears and video ok, but on screen1 is glxgears and video black. [19:57] neoinr, yeah this display doesn't have that option [19:57] escott, yeah not super important just a tad anonying [19:57] ok [19:57] lwizardl: Is there no way to manually fine tune its edges then? [19:57] neoinr, nope [19:57] franki_, i gave up on dual graphics cards on ubuntu [19:58] im using the glade user interface editor but i cant create a box like the tutorial i [19:58] neoinr, kinda looking to see if myth would have an option like in XBMC for screen calibration of edges [19:58] i click on the box then i click on the designer windows but nothiong happnes [19:58] does anybody know anything about installing mainline kernels? [19:58] hello, I have problem with vpn connection. my ubuntu host does not response to any packet on ppp0 [19:59] o nvm it solved by itself [19:59] lwizardl, you can pass to the kernel a valid modeline for the framebuffer and it should bring plymouth up in a higher resolution. personally i would say its not worth it, you risk having the system fail to bring up a console is something goes bad [20:00] Does anyone know of a program that provides a remote GUI for XBMC? I find it irritating that an app for my Android Phone provides more functionality than the HTTP interface [20:00] escott, yeah i know. I am still trying to get a working system anyway [20:01] hello, I have a problem with my murrine themes [20:02] I installed the murrine engine from Synaptic and its themes, also with Synaptic. However, when I go to the "Appearance", I can't see my murrine themes. Any idea on how can I solve my problem ?

Has anyone encounter this problem ? [20:11] escott, thx. other ideas? [20:11] giulia:) how to set sound card? [20:11] stallione, you need to mount those partitions as read-only to do that, and or get a fs capable of snapshots [20:12] normally, you go to System-hardware-sound [20:12] but my Ubuntu is in French [20:12] so not sure about translation [20:12] blueghost: did you try unloading the nvidia sound module to start up script? and setting ck804 to 0?

[20:18] anyone know where there is an archive of older Ubuntu ISO versions that are not longer carried by the mirrors? [20:18] Psydoll: Read man files, experiment. [20:18] thats the tool anyway kzetts [20:18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Live_USB_creator [20:18] Psydoll: do things you'd do anyway and use command line tools for it and look up what you dont know [20:18] rhin0: isnt usb creator the windows tool? im not on windows currently [20:19] Psydoll: Use console mode, lynx etc. [20:19] it runs on ubuntu I know that [20:19] Younder, the method you purposed me didn;t work [20:19] Psydoll: sudo apt-get install vimtutor [20:19] vim /o\ [20:19] Skaperen: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [20:19] its definitely possible from ubuntu -- usb-creator I think theres a prefix like gtk-usb-creator [20:19] for types of package [20:20] hey guys, i tried ubuntu 11.04 (natty) on my pc and it is hang/freeze , app crash ! Has anyone encounter this problem ?

[20:20] better change your pw before someone else does :D [20:20] i know [20:20] blueghost, one is hdmi sound [20:21] escott:) o [20:21] you just select the .iso file for your ubuntu -- you can blank the usb from that program -- then write the iso to the usb - makes it bootable -- takes seconds [20:21] dstaubsauger: my use of the terminal is limited to looking around for files, and occasionally moving them, not very much === Talu_Foxtrot is now known as Talu [20:21] sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk kzetts [20:22] Psydoll: i'm talking about things you'd do anyway without using the terminal [20:22] escott its not there [20:22] * Skaperen uses dd to make his live USB flash drive (same for live SD card flash drive) [20:22] Psydoll: you could learn loops and variables by batch renamin/converting images or videos for example === Talu is now known as Talu_Foxtrot [20:22] una pregunta tengo xubuntu y aveces me salen todas las resoluciones como 1024x768 o sino solo se pone en 800x600 [20:23] blueghost, if you dont want to use the hdmi sound you could just disable or blacklist the module, but the key question is whose enumeration is changing, the kernel/pci bus or something unique to alsa [20:23] mauro: #ubuntu-es [20:23] escott:) But how they order it fixed. because only ck804 sound card for the first time, e17's mixer will work. otherwise invalid e17 mixer [20:24] * Skaperen uses this ... http://slashusr.net/ubuntu/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso.img [20:24] blueghost, thats a hard problem :) the devices appear on the bus when they are ready to appear on the bus and get enumerated that way. you can use udev rules to create named symlinks to the devices, but that may not help alsa which has always looked at the raw device exported by the kernel [20:25] dstaubsauger: what is the command name for the batch renaming of files? so i can find it easier that is very interesting [20:25] i'd do that with a loop [20:25] google while loops in bash [20:26] Psydoll: and read man [ [20:26] dstaubsauger: suggesting google is not helpful [20:26] Psydoll: [ being the name of the program [20:26] escott:) I tried to turn off a sound card settings. but e17 mixer still detects the two sound card. in the same order [20:26] can someone tell me the name of a terminal based irc client? [20:26] oCean: but google is :P [20:27] dstaubsauger: don't suggest google here, thanks [20:27] ok :| [20:27] blueghost, you have to remove the module from the kernel. if you run lsmod there should be one for nvidia-snd [20:27] Hi everyone *waves* Anyone familiar with the upower patch for Natty? [20:27] dannyd_: may be irssi , I <3 [20:27] blueghost, you an rmmod that and the nvidia device should disappear [20:27] Hey all, I only recently installed Ubuntu and I've encountered a problem.

I would like to set up my SSH to use my server's open key - I have the private key from my Windows install, how do I get my computer to now use this existing key instead of creating a new one? [20:30] Renierius: then , the file might be in CD or some thing like that, copy it to hard disk and do or else use wine app.exe in terminal [20:30] escott: I know, but I can't seem to figure out how, I'll try ubottu's link, thank you. [20:30] jtreminio, put the public key from windows into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [20:31] no, it can't be that simple! === dhfhsdfh is now known as m00se [20:31] hello [20:31] Out of personal preference, what's better, 22" 16:9 or a 23" 16:10?

It previously had 10.04 on it but had to wipe it when I couldn't upgrade. It seems the X server isn't loading. The install screens looked fine and graphics worked then, but not now. [20:46] What should I try? [20:46] owowo1: if you can get to the login/splash screen, see if you can choose ubuntu classic instead of unity [20:47] The only login screen I get is the CLI one. [20:47] aah [20:47] right just saw that you said X itself wasn't loading [20:47] does someone know of a decent guide to compiling and configuring one of the kernels compiled from kernel.org? [20:47] neoinr: from what client are you trying to connect? [20:47] im using the default ssh from within ubuntu terminal [20:48] kish: maybe LFS?

It's a P4 from 2002, so it's not exactly new, but I still expect the basics to work. [20:48] hi all [20:49] blueghost, that makes it harder i cant tell which is which either. do you know if the output of lspci is changing in any way between boots [20:49] Yanch0, ah good [20:50] neoinr: hm... [20:50] guntbert: if it helps, X is currently running on the server (if thats an issue) [20:50] escott:) thx [20:51] I would have stuck with 10.04 until I had more time, but I needed the newer version because it has support for my netgear wireless stick (and I don't have access to the router to plug it in with CAT6). [20:51] neoinr: you might take a look at this: http://www.unix.com/red-hat/116444-error-cant-open-display-0-0-a.html [20:51] bye all, i reboot try [20:51] yeats: ok looking now [20:51] neoinr: should not matter, as you can do it on your desktop too - are you trying from within the GUI (with xterm) or from a virtual terminal? [20:51] hello [20:52] owowo1: did you try failsafe graphics mode at GRUB menu? [20:52] any IRC chatroom where I can discuss about graphic themes ? [20:52] guntbert: tried using virtual terminal and xterm [20:52] Anybody have a newer NVIDIA card and get it to work with Natty? [20:53] neoinr: are you ssh-ing in as the same user that you're currently logged into the GUI as? [20:53] yeats: yes [20:53] pksadiq: No, I didn't. That's a good thought. What's the string to enable that in the GRUB menu? [20:53] neoinr: it cannot work from a VT (you don't have access to your Xserver from there), but it *should* work from xterm/gnomeTerminal. [20:54] owowo1: may be ESC , I hope [20:54] LAcan_, usually you do chown -R username:groupname folder [20:55] owowo1: that is to show the GRUB menu [20:55] Hmm, I will just leave it for now, not that important anyway [20:55] If I dont have that wifi thing in my gnome panel how do I connect to net ?? === WebDawgII is now known as WebDawg [20:55] from GUI [20:55] neoinr: ok, but it *is* odd ...

I found a forum post about someone who had, but emulating their steps hasn't got me where I needed to be [20:57] escott, can I take that from Menu ? [20:57] owowo1: OK. I'll check that. [20:58] pksadiq: Thanks [20:58] thegladiator, in stock install there should be an icon in the upper right. next to sound or mail or something. if there isn't it should also be accessible in the system menus [20:58] hello [20:58] How do I take it from system menus ? === alakoo__ is now known as alakoo [20:58] thegladiator, is this 11.04 or 10.10 [20:58] I see Network tools and Network Connections both dont have option to connect [20:58] 11.04 [20:58] Classic [20:59] !enter | thegladiator [20:59] thegladiator: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[21:02] panel is one way but I need it without that [21:02] how do i find what packs have unmet dependencis [21:02] Flannel: the status bar has the channel name [21:02] thegladiator: why? [21:02] pksadiq: that worked thanks [21:02] thegladiator, without the panel there is nowhere for the applet to draw itself. if you just want to run the program its gnome-network-properties [21:03] Flannel: ok i just got what you meant [21:03] mithran: to the left of that, you'll see your nick with your current modes (+i, for instance) [21:03] how do i find what packs have unmet dependencies [21:03] gnome-network-properties doesnt have a connect button [21:03] !repeat | pcgeek32147 [21:03] pcgeek32147: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[21:23] edbian, I was using Kernel 2.6.38. Had fglrx installed and all was fine. Then I updated to 2.6.39. Suddenly on restart I got an FGLRX problem, not being able to load. Now I don't know how to repair it. I can't even activate the proprietary ATI drivers because I get an error [21:23] I should have been addressing FJAA-1983 [21:23] A_J, darn I was hoping that might help [21:23] BlackHC|: I'm having the same problem [21:23] go876543: yeah, if no menu pops try to add the app command to rc.local file to autoload at startup [21:23] FJAA-1983, can you boot? [21:23] tomshaw: the driver itself seems to work. its just that ld cant find libGL [21:23] How do I use a PCI-SATA adaptor in Ubuntu? [21:23] and there is no usr/lib/libGL.so [21:23] FJAA-1983: When you restart Ubuntu, do you get a menu to select which Kernal you want to load [21:24] but there is one in /usr/lib/nvidia-current [21:24] Guest38247: something wrong with the fstab entry? [21:24] edbian, Yes. I do. (Dual boot) [21:24] guntbert any luck ? [21:24] mithran, the raid was broken [21:24] I currently have Ubuntu 11.04 on an older model computer, with a rather generic PCI SATA adaptor in it. ( Emachines T3304 ) [21:24] FJAA-1983: When you restart Ubuntu, do you get a menu to select which Kernal you want to load [21:24] edbian, I tried using the other kernels, those are "broken" too. [21:24] FJAA-1983, what is the output of lsmod | grep fglrx (that will tell me if that driver is being used) [21:24] A_J: sorry, that seems to have been some time ago :-( - now there is only failsaveX [21:24] !find libGL.so [21:24] File libGL.so found in fglrx, ia32-libs, libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg, libgl1-mesa-swx11, libgl1-mesa-swx11-dbg, libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev, lsb-build-base3, nvidia-173 (and 2 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libGL.so&mode=&suite=natty&arch=any [21:24] mithran, the raid was broken, but i dont want to get that check at boot. i want to remove the check [21:25] i cant even get a workign ssh [21:25] guntbert coz_ what should i do now ? [21:25] edbian, lsmod | grep fglrx gives no output. [21:25] A_J, ok when you reboot,, hold down the left shift key until you get to a grub menu,, at that point [21:25] FJAA-1983, That means the driver is not being used. sudo apt-get install fglrx [21:25] A_J: but there is an option: "reconfigure graphics.." - dd you try that? [21:25] FJAA-1983, That command will install the driver. Typically if it is installed it will be used. [21:25] edbian, that gives an error. [21:25] FJAA-1983, what error? [21:26] edbian, let me see if i can pastebin it. [21:26] guntbert where would i type this ? [21:26] FJAA-1983, sure :) [21:26] A_J, press the "e" to edit the boot kernel stanza adding nomodeset just before quiet splash and try the boot,, I believe it is F6 but it will say just below on that edit [21:27] A_J: did you select recovery mode from the grub menu? [21:27] yes guntbert [21:27] coz_ where do i add it ? [21:27] A_J, after you get to the grub menu press the "e" key,, [21:27] Hi guys, just installed 11.04 (Moved from Linux Mint 10) and my PCI wireless card won't work (Linksys WMP300N), the broadcom driver is downloaded and I ran lsmod to confirm it's loaded, but it won't associate with any AP. Ideas? [21:27] A_J: I will leave you to coz_ right now, no use trying two things at the same time :) [21:27] A_J, you will see a line for the boot sequence === HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem [21:28] Quickie: I assume 'lspci' lists all devices the computer sees connected to its PCI slots? === rexbron_ is now known as rexbron [21:28] A_J, in that line you will quiet-splash [21:28] ok guntbert will ping u later [21:28] edbian, http://pastebin.com/Yzcwu9Jp [21:28] kk [21:28] A_J, use the arrow keys to just before that and add nomodeset with a space to separate it [21:28] donw [21:28] A_J, that hopefully will get you to the log in screen [21:29] FJAA-1983, There is a bug for that module in that kernel. You should report it on launchpad [21:29] !ubg [21:29] okie what nowV? [21:29] !bug [21:29] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:29] Klevi|PC: IT SHOULD [21:29] A_J, look here for the completeing of that ,, I believe this post will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1608269 [21:29] ubottu, Put it on the package for that kernel [21:29] edbian: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:29] how to enter boot sequence ? [21:29] FJAA-1983, Put the bug on the package for that kernel [21:29] A_J, after hitting "e" keyboard you will be there [21:29] A_J: F8 [21:29] edbian, That I did. I did it the first time I got the error. Does it mean that it can not be solved at this moment? [21:30] A_J, then use the arrow keys to maneauver the cursor to just before "quiet-splash" and type in nomodeset [21:30] mithran: I have a Sata card in one of those slots, I should see it there if its working [21:30] did that coz_ no luck same screen [21:30] is anyone here working on openstack documentation? [21:30] FJAA-1983, It means the developers for ATI need to update their s*** [21:30] i pressed f10 to boot from there coz_ [21:30] A_J, darn [21:30] Klevi|PC: do you have a disk connected to the card? [21:30] correct [21:30] * mithran ^ [21:30] A_J, you are positive the card is functional ...yes? [21:31] edbian, If I "Roll back" on my kernel, use 2.6.38, i meant, could I install fglrx and get all my video functionality back? [21:31] FJAA-1983, as a workaround, try the radeon driver or boot an older kernel and then install fgrlx (which will compile for the older kernel) and all should be back to normal [21:31] A_J, does t his card require a power plug to it,,? [21:31] FJAA-1983, Yes I believe so [21:31] coz_: it has been used in the past fine with windows on it. [21:31] Klevi|PC: yes you should [21:31] FJAA-1983: what card? Do you need VA API or Crossfire? [21:31] Klevi|PC: can you see the disk? [21:31] FJAA-1983, I mis-spoke. The module isn't being compiled. It is being configured and inserted into the kernel. Technicality really [21:31] no, mithran [21:32] A_J, which card is this exactly,, model number etc [21:32] edbian, Only problem with 2.6.38 is that, and I don't want to sound like a complainer, is that it messes up the wifi speed [21:32] coz_ " to the end of the line that has "kernel" in it." I dont see a kernal [21:32] coz_ 9800gt [21:32] roothorick, ATI HD 6960 I think. [21:33] FJAA-1983, Then I suggest you try the radeon driver [21:33] mithran: lspci wont talk about the card. Generally that means its not working [21:33] The fact that this worked on Mint 10 leads me to believe that I could probably roll back to the last firmware version. Does anyone know if this is possible? I've heard bad things about ndiswrapper on 64-bit. [21:33] FJAA-1983: you think? I highly doubt you'd have a high-end enthusiast card like that and not know about it [21:33] FJAA-1983, The radeon driver will work with the newest kernel and then you'll have the best of both worlds [21:33] FJAA-1983: double-check with lspci [21:33] FJAA-1983, lspci to make sure [21:33] pksadiq: ya [21:33] roothorick, Just got it. :-P [21:34] A_J, look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:34] FJAA-1983: that's what the box says? 6960? [21:34] Klevi|PC: driver? [21:34] mithran: keep this as PM, don't disturb here ok? answer me at PM === mk is now known as Guest91767 [21:34] roothorick, 6950, me bad. [21:34] I thought so [21:34] They don't make 60's only 50's and 00's === Guest91767 is now known as MK44 [21:35] FJAA-1983: northern islands chipset... bad news [21:35] coz_ Anythin specific i'm lookin for [21:35] edbian, It's my 1st ATI card, got a little bored of NVIDIA but that's not the topic. [21:35] FJAA-1983, :) [21:35] coz_ in the first link i can't find kernal written [21:35] roothorick, Please elaborate on that? [21:35] A_J, that card should be fine but make sure you have the power plug plugged into it also ,, dont mean to make that sound like a stupid mistake but it has happened before === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:35] i think someone keeps on breaking into my ubuntu box, can somebody help me [21:36] does anyone know wheter it's possible to have 2 80-char (width) columns in vim? [21:36] coz_ i removed the card [21:36] ultimate, Why do you think that? [21:36] ultimate, I can help [21:36] im trying to install the wifi drivers in 11.04 and following the tutorial at http://bit.ly/iXGWEt but im stuck at step 5. "Run Administration -> Update manager" where is Administration on 11.04?? [21:36] FJAA-1983: actually... http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature [21:36] edbian, Hows that radeon driver workaround? [21:36] FJAA-1983: try the radeon driver [21:36] A_J, oh? but you want to use this card with ubuntu ,,,yes? [21:36] MK44, run it through the menu. It will ask for a password. After entering the password you are on 'administrator' in the linux world it is called root [21:36] Irssi was having a seizure, Im going to try changing the slot the card is in and see if anything comes up [21:36] FJAA-1983, sudo apt-get install radeon [21:37] A_J, doe it boot withouth that card in the sytem? [21:37] FJAA-1983, Then restart and use lsmod | grep radeon to see if it's loaded. Then use your computer to see if it works well [21:37] FJAA-1983, Not necessarily in that order [21:37] edbian, Noob question. Should I do a remove --purge of fglrx first? [21:37] edbian: which menu do I run it through sorry? [21:37] no coz_, the minute it didnt work i removed the card.. Not this card another one [21:37] FJAA-1983, Normally yes but the package never installed (it errored out) so you don't have to [21:37] MK44, system -> admin [21:38] MK44, Are you on 11.04 ?? Then it's in the unity bar [21:38] A_J, apparenlty my mind is not working today,, I am puzzled,, I should know this but cant get it [21:38] any1 else i can ask coz_ ? [21:38] edbian: yes im runing 11.04, so I click on the ubuntu icon to get system?? [21:38] edbian, Gonna try the radeon. [21:38] anyone you know who posses the skills [21:39] A_J, I have to hand you over to one of the other guys,, also you could try ##linux channel and or #nvidia channel ,, [21:39] FJAA-1983, sounds good [21:39] FJAA-1983: you'll actually need 2.6.39 or later for your card, heh [21:39] I better leave before i screw up someone's system,,, [21:39] later guys [21:39] coz_ looks like an ubuntu problem ty for your time [21:39] MK44, ignore the system thing. That's for 10.10 and down. In 11.04 the update manager is on the left side (the unity bar) and it looks like a box with an orange arrow [21:39] roothorick, I'm on 2.6.39. It was fine with 2.6.38 until i updated. :-) [21:39] Hi, I'm able to get into failsafe graphics mode on 11.04 in recovery mode, but the startup hangs after enabling binfmt-support. I still can access a CLI login, but X won't run. I have an NVIDIA Geforce4 TI 4200. What should I try next? [21:39] ok I'm gonna try Again [21:40] what do you think edbian [21:40] edbian, thanks, and in the tutorial step 7 you must go to "7. Highlight Administration -> Hardware Drivers" where do i find this? [21:40] kbmsh2: have you installed nvidia driver? [21:40] roothorick, I don't know if my logic is failing me, but I'm kind of sensing that you're trying to imply that my card is going to be a pain in the low part of my back. [21:40] hey guys need help, Pretty big Issue.. I Installed a GFX Card, and booted into ubuntu just to test it.. But the Comp Hanged and I was forced to reboot. Now when i Boot Some Busy box Opens up. with (initramfs) what did i break ? [21:41] hey guys, can you give me a sources.list for maverick that has absolutely everything ? [21:41] ultimate, Put it in a pastebin and ask the channel what they think. I do not think it is a remote user. I think it is some user for a TV card or something [21:41] FJAA-1983: oh indeed it will be. There's a reason Linux enthusiasts avoid ATI/AMD GPUs like the plague. [21:41] hey guys need help, Pretty big Issue.. I Installed a GFX Card, and booted into ubuntu just to test it.. But the Comp Hanged and I was forced to reboot. Now when i Boot Some Busy box Opens up. with i(nitramfs) what did i break | I removed the Card now | [21:41] this is what i currently have http://codepad.org/wZuIvLO1 [21:41] MK44, Upper left corner. Power button -> system settings -> additional drivers [21:41] do i just add contrib non-free [21:42] to every line ? [21:42] Trying to enable the broadcom STA driver from the ubuntu 11.04 live cd, installs the source pkg, and then prompts to reboot... and given it's a live cd, a reboot = reset! [21:42] edbian: thanks! [21:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/611199/ [21:42] Are USB pens expected to have partitions on them when used to make a startup disk? [21:42] MK44, sure [21:42] roothorick, Darn, I really did not know that. I did read it was a little... messy, but not that it would be such a pain. [21:42] :) [21:42] bazhang around ? [21:42] i looks to me as someone is trying to login as the tvadmin and failing [21:42] FJAA-1983, Try the radeon driver. I suspect that will solve your problems. [21:42] pksadiq, I did, then I rebooted but I still have the same symptoms. [21:42] FJAA-1983, I have a ati / radeon card. It is not so bad [21:42] guntbert here ? [21:43] FJAA-1983: well, fglrx driver is notoriously buggy, to the point of being outright unusable in certain situations... and the open source driver (radeon) is still somewhat limited [21:43] A_J: yes [21:43] ultimate, Is worried about his auth.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/611199/ Does anybody think this is a breakin attempt? [21:43] kbmsh2: in CLI try sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot [21:43] guntbert coz_ could not solve it. [21:43] want me to post the question again guntbert [21:43] A_J: not sure if my idea will help [21:43] FJAA-1983: I had a 4850, it was a nightmare. I now have exclusively nVIDIA and Intel silicon, so much easier, though the Intel stuff is understandably limited in capability [21:43] guntbert lwt's try [21:44] A_J: still not interested in Re-installing? :O [21:44] edbian: when I open "additional drivers" nothing shows up in the list... [21:44] roothorick, It pains me to hear that when I use ubuntu as my main OS. The "other" one is just for gaming (Not even office applications installed) [21:44] pksadiq abt 1.5 TB of data mate [21:44] A_J: reboot to grub menu, there select recovery mode, then select "failsaveX", ping me when you are there [21:44] pksadiq, Ok, thanks. Be back soon. [21:45] My windows lost their borders! I don't want to restart. [21:45] MK44, That means that there are no proprietary drivers available for any of the hardware on your system. Is your wifi kill switch on? Perhaps the OS just didn't see your wifi card cause the switch was set to off. [21:45] Im in unity hatty warhol [21:45] Arney, compiz --replace& in a terminal [21:45] pksadiq worst thing is most are torrents.. will be a pain to add all of em again [21:45] Arney: try ALT+F2 , better than terminal [21:46] anyone know if you can just modprobe [what module?] after installing the bcmwl-kernel-source pkg via gui (which presumably builds the pkg?)... [21:46] Arney, If you can't type in a terminal. Switch to TTY1 (ctrl + alt + F1) run compiz --display :0.0 and switch back (ctrl + alt + F7) [21:46] guntbert failsaveX not found [21:46] edbian, I can't seem to find the "radeon" package [21:46] edbian: Thanks, got scared for a sec. [21:46] gui_user, modprobe wl [21:46] edbian: no the light is on for the wifi driver. I have also installed "Wifi Radar" in the past, but it does not connect to any networks (Ive tested it on a few working networks" it tries to detect the dhcp settings, and sticks on the loading bar [21:46] So Ive solved part of my problem! [21:46] A_J: boot from live CD and copy it to somewhere else, anyway what did removing quiet-spalsh give?

[21:48] pksadiq, too new, you mean? [21:48] FJAA-1983, I have no clue what repo it's on. Probably main [21:48] FJAA-1983, Are you having trouble finding it? [21:48] edbian: what do you reccomend for getting the wifi to work? im seriously considering switching back to 10.04 LTS [21:48] A_J: after you selected the line from the menu? [21:48] kbmsh2: I mean, it might work for you too [21:49] edbian, Nah, just enabled them all and installed it. [21:49] edbian, So now just reboot, right?

[21:52] A_J, if you know how to edit the nomodeset into the top kernel and boot with crtl-x yes that does the same thing [21:52] A_J: you select recovery mode from the grub menu, wait a bit and get a dialog like http://imagebin.org/154398 [21:53] no guntbert don't get that [21:53] Klevi: if it is try mounting it [21:53] guntbert, that is not what my natty loks like is that natty?

My HTPC seems to suspend correctly, but it doesn't resume -- it hangs and there's no video output. I can't find anything in the logs. Where do I go from here?

[22:50] ActionParsnip: What motherboard do oyu have? [22:51] ...you [22:51] ActionParsnip no it automaticly set itself to full hd [22:51] This is maybe a bit older... Maybe I should try to find nvnet? [22:51] peterhil: asus M2N8L, it's part of a P1-AH2 pundit [22:51] A_J: check the bios [22:52] ActionParsnip: That did it, thanks. [22:52] Jordan_U: np man [22:52] ActionParsnip i'm gettin a new card in 2 days, thats why i'm asking this was a test run [22:52] so just pop it in ? [22:53] I had setup an encrypted lvm install with the alternate install. It was running fine, but it seems after I updated the kernel or something, my /dev/mapper is now gone? Anyone have this problem with encytped drives? It now drops to the busybox when trying to boot instead of asking for the encryption pass phrase.

[22:55] ActionParsnip i'm asking what time do you come online mostly [22:55] A_J: it varys wildly, so "yes" is as accurate as it gets [22:55] Er, I have a bit of a weird pickle. I rebooted, and now my terminal is not recognizing keys correctly shift+pg_up/down does not scroll [22:56] okie lol ActionParsnip i'll try to catch u [22:56] pksadiq man thanks for your help [22:57] A_J: welcome, have an advice, before asking some Q to some one here check /msg nickserv info to find his age and exprerience here [22:57] In compiz: i have cube enabled and choose 4 desktops, still I got only 2 and in slow motion ???????

Ive normally been using the line "ssh wandering@111.111..." but i need the dd\ bit too [23:01] ActionParsnip last question before i go, are u a Opper ?

I got an amdX2 64bits processor. Which version of ubuntu 11.04 should I chose? Is there any differences between the 2 versions , [23:02] ? [23:02] nslutje: run your browser with gksudo [23:02] k nice speakin to u ActionParsnip AND TY pksadiq again :P [23:02] nn all [23:02] it's on a nslu2, so text based [23:02] jr: always 64bit if the processor supports it [23:03] jr: because it's more than just bigger pointers. More registers and other goodies that makes everything faster [23:03] ActionParsnip: And from my XP machine the same problem [23:03] roothorick: some manufacturers only support 32bit which can cause issues [23:03] ActionParsnip: manufacturers? Supporting Linux? Hah! [23:03] jr: 64bit will enable you to use more RAM easily [23:03] roothorick: check the brother Linux support, also check HP too [23:03] ActionParsnip: yes but I've got only 3 Gio [23:04] of ram [23:04] jr: 32bit can address 3Gb RAM, if you use 64Bit you can use more without any effort [23:04] ActionParsnip: How does this gksudo thing works... :S [23:04] jr: still, AMD64/EM64T is more than just bigger pointers [23:04] roothorick: also look at the nvidia site as well as intel [23:04] nn all [23:04] roothorick: true [23:04] jr, there are some other advantages to 64bit check the amd64 page on wikipedia [23:04] jr: what is the system used for? [23:05] I heard this version uses more ram than the 32bits and is slower. [23:05] jr: it'snot slower and doesn't use more ram [23:05] jr, its a tradeoff. some new processor features, but using a bit more ram for pointers [23:05] jr: slower no. More RAM, kind-of. Binaries are larger because of the bigger pointers but it's not a signficant difference (a few MB in typical use) === trism is now known as trism_ === HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem [23:06] jr: I suggest you research what 64bit actually is === themacg33k is now known as therapturedg33k === trism_ is now known as trism [23:06] ActionParsnip: everything: internet, office tasks, encoding, musics and so on. [23:07] jr: always use 64bit unless you have an explicit, hard reason not to (e.g. support contract, 32bit binary-only driver, or 32bit CPU) [23:07] jr: encoding music benefits greatly from 64bitness [23:08] ActionParsnip: wonderful. I hesitated because with windows64, some softwares do not support x32 drivers [23:09] for ewample: ticonnect and samsung pc studio [23:09] jr: yeah, 64bit Windows has that whole driver signing mess. That's just MS stupidity at work, not a 64bit thing really. [23:10] hello buddy's [23:11] Great. Thx ActionParsnip and roothorick. I'm gonna install tha. [23:11] how do i install all packages starting with "php" [23:11] like php5-mod-x [23:11] Is C as language for the install OK, or no? [23:11] Do I have to choose English? [23:11] and why? [23:12] is this pocible? [23:14] too much traffic :( [23:14] How much memory should there be for a command line install that is to run bind for a local DNS? [23:14] barf_: sure, install build-essential and you will have an ANSI standard C compiler [23:15] I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 on my HP nc6400 laptop, and I am having some problems with graphics. When I move a window, the background becomes a pixeled mess. Seems this is a somewhat common problem, but what do I do? :) [23:15] barf_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements says 300Mhz + 128Mb RAM as minimal, so a little more than that will be fine [23:15] ..is there any way to "roll back" to 10.10? [23:16] !downgrade | joakimk [23:16] joakimk: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [23:16] ActionParsnip: C as language for Locale, not as programming language [23:16] Hi guys, I'm planning on turning some 8 GB flash drives into portable gaming drives, I was wondering if anyone knew if it'd be plausible for me to install Ubuntu to the drive and still have lots of free space on the flash drive to install things? [23:16] Would I need to partition the flash drive in two? [23:16] I was given instructions on installing a serial terminal to my system and the instructions say to midify a file called /etc/inittab but I cannot find it. [23:16] barf_: ahh I see [23:17] welcome Felnotz [23:17] joakim_, in my experience, upgrading also tends to break things, so I wait like 6 months or so after so they fix all the things that are broken [23:17] OmegaLimit: sure [23:17] Hey there Cap'n [23:17] JabberWalkie: so you're saying I upgraded to 11 too soon? :( [23:17] ActionParsnip: Would I need to partition the drive or does a USB install of Ubuntu on a flash automatically include some space on the flash? [23:17] in openoffice.org/writer how can I write tow direction statements on one line, I mean I want the text direction to be separated from the alignment? like writing Arabic text and writing English sentence inside it ( the problem arises when using brackets) [23:17] probably [23:17] OmegaLimit: space willlimit what games you can install [23:18] ActionParsnip: It's all ROMs and smaller games available on the Software Center [23:18] like when writing: key_count() inside an Arabic sentence the brackets go to the left of the word [23:18] just wondering if anyone could help me out here. [23:18] When I logged in to 11.04 first time, I got a message saying something like "my hardware will not support Unity". Is that a clue? [23:18] Go ahead Palm [23:18] joakimk, anyways, there is only one route to go, scour the internet for hours and post on forums and search bug reports till you find a solution [23:19] I was given instructions on installing a serial terminal to my system and the instructions say to midify a file called /etc/inittab but I cannot find it. [23:19] joakimk, clue for what? [23:19] joakimk, fun times.... [23:19] I am using my palm pilot as a terminal [23:19] Felnotz: I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 on my HP nc6400 laptop, and I am having some problems with graphics. When I move a window, the background becomes a pixeled mess. Seems this is a somewhat common problem, but what do I do? :) [23:19] PalmPilotPro: those instructions are old [23:20] OmegaLimit: you can use gparted to partition the device, then use a persistent install to the partition, or use usb-creator and transfer the ubuntu ISO to the partition (you can remaster the ISO to add your own apps to the CD image) [23:20] JabberWalkie: I just don't know where to begin... a [23:20] joakimk: Would you happen to know what graphics card you are using? [23:20] meganerd: is there another way to do what I am trying to do still? [23:20] joakimk: what video chip do you use? [23:20] Felnotz: yes :) It's an nvidia... How do I check that? [23:20] PalmPilotPro: yes, I am googling it, I did this on a machine a year ago [23:21] meganerd: cool, thaks [23:21] joakimk: It's fine, I looked up your model number, you're using an Intel GMA 950 [23:21] joakimk: if you use the nvidia driver, you may need to remove the driver, reboot then reinstall the driver to make things nice [23:21] PalmPilotPro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto [23:21] joakimk, open a terminal and type lshw [23:21] joakimk: or, it's an ATI mobilityX3100 [23:21] X1300* [23:22] joakimk: alt +f2 and lshw [23:22] ActionParsnip: I think maybe I did do something like that in 10.04... [23:22] ActionParsnip: I'm planning on adding most of the files after I've already put the OS on the flash drive, so would the former be the better option? [23:22] OmegaLimit: with persistent installs the updates and such stick, if you use usb-creator the upgrades and such do not stay [23:23] ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks [23:23] how can I record/view S-video from my old camcorder? I just plugged in the cable but don't know what the next step is [23:23] joakimk: What are you doing currently? [23:23] Hi guys - not Ubuntu-specific, but Linux related! I've got LAMPP up and running... how do I tie in the "php" and "pear" commands to use those specific files? Right now it's asking me to install php5-cli, but I've already got PHP running. [23:24] !find php5-cli [23:24] Found: php5-cli [23:24] sounds like a plan to me [23:24] Felnotz: X1300 [23:24] Felnotz: sorry, I was trying to verify the card... [23:25] Is there any way to install without a cdrom or usb drive? [23:25] joakimk: It's fine, you're going to want to uninstall the X1300 driver, and reinstall [23:25] relapse: There are many ways, but you'll have to boot from something. What is your exact situation? [23:26] joakimk: You know how to do that? [23:27] Hi, two hour ago my ubuntu froze. my system is up-to-date. I suspect someone do that. Which log should i read to see what happend [23:27] Hey guys, Ive got an SATA drive that absolutely refuses to be mounted.

Go to the 'Additional Drivers' application [23:28] gueneal, june 3 or 4th I think [23:28] hey, can someone tell me how to install my new ubuntu OS onto a win 2000? i can't find the answer or anything related in the help guides on the site. [23:29] cool thanks :D [23:29] Felnotz: may I PM instead? [23:29] qin: do you know if hacker have a way to freeze ubuntu ? [23:29] Felnotz: yes [23:29] klevi|PC: uh, hold on a minute [23:29] r3m: Nope, dunno. What have you beed doing? [23:29] how can I troubleshoot what's wrong with my key input into the terminal? I don't know where to start, I reinstalled the term after doing a complete uninstall, and the keys work right in xterm [23:29] Felnotz: Sure thing! =) [23:29] qin: i was afk [23:29] joakimk: Next, click on the ATI driver with a green dot next to it [23:30] It worked right as of a couple of hours ago [23:30] joakimk: There should be some kind of button on your window that says 'uninstall' (sorry I'm not in Ubuntu atm) [23:30] Felnotz: thing is, only a "Software modem" is listd there [23:30] Faithful, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:30] Felnotz: so... maybe the ATI driver is *not* installed? [23:30] joakimk: That's what I feared.. I have a feeling your graphics card may be *very* old [23:30] hm [23:30] it's a ~5 years old laptop [23:31] joakimk: Well are there any other entries in the window besides the Software Modem? [23:31] at least that's when it was bought [23:31] no [23:31] xereniak: What do you mean "onto a win 2000"? The current operating system doesn't really matter (unless you're using Wubi) since you'll be booting from an Ubuntu LiveCD to do the install. [23:31] joakimk: Well that probably means you've got the driver installed, it's just really old [23:31] lspci tells me: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X13 [23:31] joakimk: Do you know if you have Unity 2D installed by any chance? [23:31] don't know... :-/ [23:31] hi folks [23:32] hi kblin anything we can help with? [23:32] as enter at the Spanish language channel? [23:32] I've just noticed that avahi-daemon on my 10.04 system seems to be listenting on IPv4 port 5355, and I was wondering why? [23:32] joakimk: Well then go ahead and open the Ubuntu Software Centre, and search for 'Unity 2D' [23:33] upstream avahi doesn't have LLMNR support, as far as I can tell [23:33] Hi, I encountred a problem while working in command line today [23:33] r3m: hm, I more ment, did you hang uot on undernet, used torrent, russian websites, You know this sort of stuff... sudo netstat -tulp (to see listening services), ps, pstree, htop, iftop (to monitor), iptables, failtoban (to protect).) [23:33] Felnotz: right. Installing it now [23:33] Need help !

[23:34] how i can sync my iphone4 with ubuntu to transfer music to it [23:34] What is wrong if after install Ubuntu 11.04 shows for a short while, then shows a blinking underscore in the top left corner, forever. [23:34] kblin, well avahi does network discovery so it'd make sense for it to use LLMNR on port 5355 [23:35] i need enter to spanish channel [23:35] how i can sync my iphone4 with ubuntu to transfer music to it [23:35] malobueno, your looking for a spanish channel? [23:35] malobueno: /join #ubuntu-es [23:35] I would like advice on determining if Drupal is right for me [23:35] how i can sync my iphone4 with ubuntu to transfer music to it [23:35] hombre-4, you accidentally did what to the whole system? [23:35] Captainkrtek: avahi does mDNS, which is different from LLMNR === d484 is now known as d484|away [23:35] hello* [23:35] takoylis: it might help if you had a program to do that...... Im sure there are several [23:35] can I install gcc two version side bu side [23:36] sudo aptitude install gcc-4.2-multilib libstdc++6-4.2-dev [23:36] kblin, true, not sure why it uses it then [23:36] jo5hua: I'm not very ecperienced in shell, so I was trying 'man' and commands, but then I accidentally the whole system :/ [23:36] i have many that simply dont work [23:36] I was wondering if I can use Drupal with mediawiki? [23:36] this will uninstall pre gcc version [23:36] THANK YOU nit [23:36] Felnotz: so, you think this is possible to get working? Have a feeling I shoulnd't have upgraded... :( [23:36] non? [23:36] i'm also trying to figure out how to sync audio from iphone4 to ubuntu [23:36] joakimk: After installation, you'll have to logout, and select 'Unity 2D' in the little drop down menu in the login prompt [23:36] ^takoylis [23:36] kblin, according to another site (this (port) is useful in networks that do not deploy DNS servers.) [23:36] joakimk: This is possible to get working, don't worry [23:36] I need Ubuntu with GUI but only the web browser. What is the fastest way to install it? Do I install normal Ubuntu and remove the components one by one? [23:36] takoylis: have you tried rhythmnbox? [23:36] Felnotz: OK, it's installed. Trying a logout :) Be right back, and thanks a BUNCH!! [23:36] accidentally what - deleted the whole system? Please be more specific :) [23:36] ndxtg, so you're running just a terminal? [23:37] joakimk: Anytime! [23:37] yes the whole system [23:37] Do you remember what command you entered? [23:37] I'm trying to do data recovery on a corrupt ext3 partition. fsck complains of a bad superblock, but I know the file data is there (I can see it using foremost). Any tips on recovering a badly corrupted ext3 filesystem? [23:37] Captainkrtek: the fun part is that I'm currently reading through upstream sources. it shouldn't bind to that port. so I was wondering if ubuntu had some extra magic going into this package [23:37] Captainkrtek: no, with GUI and web browser (i.e.the system is to view images/videos in web browser only) [23:37] Stormx2: How did it become corrupted? [23:38] ndxtg, sorry a bit confused with your setup [23:38] kblin, haha good luck! [23:38] Stormx2: make image first, try testdisk to recover partition, or photorec for data. [23:38] Captainkrtek: i have nothing yet, gonna install but unsure what is the fastest way :( [23:39] joakimk: How'd it go? [23:39] my computer wont show the ubuntu install screen... just some blank desktop. [23:39] does anyone know is mediawiki will let you have individual accounts and upload files such as pic,mp3,pdf is there a lighter wiki option that might be better? [23:39] Felnotz: hi :) Well, now I have the new desktop :) But, I still get garbage pixels whenever I move a window around... [23:39] ndxtg, so what is the fastest way to get a web browser installed? [23:39] Felnotz: I selected Unity 2D when loggin gin [23:40] Jordan_U, it's a friend's drive. He said he woke up one morning and it wouldn't boot. [23:40] joakimk: hmm.. maybe your CPU is lagging your computer [23:40] joakimk: Try logging out, and selecting Ubuntu Classic instead of Unity 2D [23:40] joakimk, try and uninstall compiz by going to System Settings > Synaptic Package Manager [23:40] Felnotz: it's an Intel Core 2 duo [23:40] qin, done, but I'm not getting a great deal of useful output from carving (photorec/foremost/whatever) [23:40] xereniak, power on the computer hit the shift key and hold it down if you get a try or installgui hit f6 choose nomodeset and boot in [23:40] Stormx2: Did you try to mount it? [23:40] Yes, but even fsck won't touch it [23:40] Captainkrtek: what is the fastest way to install a Ubuntu-based system that only contains GUI web browser? other components (open offices, GIMP etc should not be installed) [23:40] xereniak, do you remember what command you entered? And when you say blank desktop, do you see *anything* after you switch it on? [23:40] Stormx2: Does the S.M.A.R.T. data show any hardware problem? [23:40] umm.... [23:41] joakimk, do this [23:41] i have a menu bar at the top [23:41] What does the menu say? [23:41] i can get to system settings, but it keeps crashing [23:41] well, for most commands [23:41] joakimk, System Settings > Synaptic Package Manager > search Compiz in the top filter, then all green checkboxes, right click and mark for removal [23:41] Jordan_U, I get I/O errors in ubuntu, gparted livecd. Currently the only O/Ss that can boot with it attached are Windows and the ddrescue live cd. But no, I haven't checked SMART. I will [23:42] Jordan_U, however, ddrescue only failed to copy 512 bytes from it (near the beginning) [23:42] Captainkrtek: right. Think I did that in Ubuntu 10 also [23:42] whats the easiest way to see if a harddrive is corrupt [23:42] joakimk, probably more appropriate for your setup [23:43] Captainkrtek: ... because compiz is all flash and bells, right? [23:43] joakimk, yes, even when not running it still runs haha [23:43] Felnotz: I'll try Ubuntu Classic now :) [23:43] BRB :) [23:44] xereniak, unless you can be more specific with the commands you entered it might be difficult to help you [23:44] hello? [23:44] anyone know how to mod a laser? [23:44] i didn't enter ANY commands [23:44] with ubuntu [23:44] hi ImaBrokeDude if this is not related to Ubuntu then please find a different channel [23:44] what do you mean mod a laser? [23:44] the laser ios supposed to be a data laser [23:45] anyone know if there is a wine related channel? [23:45] einsteined: #winehq [23:45] rww: thanks I tried #wine, didn't work [23:45] in order to use it freely you are supposed to run a firmware hack through ubuntu [23:45] Felnotz: hmm... It looked very good there, but I still get errors in redrawing the background/desktop [23:45] ...I like having the classic desktop back, though :) [23:45] im running ubuntu studio 11.04 and my computer wont connect to the internet via wifi or lan i had a wifi connection yesterday [23:46] joakimk: Did you follow Cap'n Krtek and remove Compiz?
