[01:45] i took my laptop to my grandmas house after upgrading to 11.04, it worked while i was there, but when i got home it wouldn't boot properly, i burned a 10.10 disk, and put it in after starting my laptop, but it didn't try to reinstall, instead it boot properly but with all of 11.04 things on it. [01:45] wtf, my desktop wasnt even installed? [01:46] for some reason hostapd is saying "deauthenticated due to local deauth request" and it disconnects my wireless clients [01:46] why would ubuntu install without a desktop [01:46] thats the core reason i downloaded uand spend all this time installing ubuntu, was for the desktop [01:46] kinesis: Did you install from a regular CD, or an alternate CD? [01:47] i used mini.iso [01:47] USB key installer, net [01:47] its a netbook, no cdrom drive [01:47] So you used the text-based installer. One of the screens later in the install process asks you to select tasks to install. [01:48] One of those tasks is "Ubuntu desktop." [01:48] It's still possible to install that task at this point without re-doing the entire install. [01:49] "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [01:50] ok [01:50] Though, if you're using a laptop that old, Unity might not work. [01:51] If you don't mind Xfce, then "xubuntu-desktop" might be less resource-intensive.

[02:04] L0C41H05T: Is the router running OpenWRT, by any chance? There's a known issue with 5GHz clients and OpenWRT. (Not likely you are running it, but I thought I'd throw that out there).

I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 as a guest inside VirtualBox OSE 3.2.10. Are there guest additions packages in the Ubuntu repositories I should install in the guest, or should I use the option in the Devices menu of VirtualBox? [02:19] rww, Devices menu of VirtualBox [02:19] networks stumbler, how does it work? [02:20] rww: devices menu but be aware that sometimes you have to go to cli to do it after the virtual cdrom mounts.. occationally you have to open it with nautilus then go to cli to see it.. [02:20] Hola [02:20] nit-wit, izinucs: Thanks [02:20] rww: np.. you've helped me out enough in the past.. 'bout time I was able to help you :) === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:21] hey how would i go about installing windows besides my ubuntu partition? [02:21] fisix: you mean as a dual boot machine or in a virtual machine so you can run windows inside ubuntu [02:22] fisix, grub2 will find it, or use grub for Dos, just make the partition, format and install [02:23] but that would be like a seperate partition on the harddrive [02:23] fisix: silverarrow that scenerio is a dual boot and you'll need a live cd to fix grub after that since windows will overwrite it [02:23] true [02:24] ................why "Unity" sucks ???

[02:26] pmp6nl: do you want to change it to todays date or some other? [02:26] I have it stored in xp, but damn hard to find it [02:26] silverarrow: elaborate on what you mean by "network password"? [02:26] the password I once filled in to my computer [02:27] password manager, in xp* [02:27] izinucs some other date [02:27] silverarrow, are you locked out of your xp? [02:28] no, just the world wide web [02:28] what? [02:28] I am on an open network now, [02:28] pmp6nl: it's kind of a hack .. but.. change the computer date to the one you want then open the pdf and re-print it to pdf using cups-pdf.. you'll have a new file with the date you want [02:28] Oh, he means an insecure wifi network [02:29] silverarrow: if you mean your wifi password, reset your router and call your router's manufacturer if you don't know how. If you mean your ISP network password, contact your ISP. [02:29] yes, sorry [02:29] rww, yes but it will cost, and cumbersome [02:29] but you might be right, the best way to do it [02:30] silverarrow: Nevertheless, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, so it's out of scope for us :\ [02:30] if I just stored it in Ubuntu, I could retrieve it [02:31] izinucs, ugh i'll have to fix grub after? [02:31] fisix: yep.. windows likes to be first [02:32] izinucs, wow are there other solutions if i just wanna be able to game with windows? [02:32] fisix, yes, very likely, but it pretty easy to install grub from live CD, at least grub for DOS, I'm not shore with grub2 [02:34] izinucs ok, thanks [02:34] nobody needs any help with anything?? [02:34] I CANT FIND MY PANTS [02:35] they're in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:35] LOL [02:35] fisix, 2 commands from the natty live cd only for grub2 will fix the boot after installing Windows, would you like a link to be prepared with? [02:35] ha [02:35] no i mean [02:35] it's a file called my_pants.txt and I can't find it [02:36] sudo find / -name my_pants.txt [02:36] hello [02:36] tytyty [02:36] rm rf ypour pants [02:36] O.O [02:36] EagleScreen, You walked into the best conversation [02:36] I did an Ubuntu installation and I had the /home encrypted [02:37] now from another Linux installation, I need to acess to my data in that folder [02:37] I recently installed Ubuntu and the password I set as the root password is not being accepted as the root password [02:38] EagleScreen, Well that's pretty much impossible. That's the entire point of encryption [02:38] !root [02:38] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:38] EagleScreen: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html may be useful [02:38] DinVitamin, any special circumstances, van you log in and can you run a update/upgrade [02:38] DinVitamin, Did you set up a root account? [02:38] *can [02:38] Dealing with some ext4 filesystem corruption here. Why does fsck keep telling me the filesystem is still dirty when it's done? The filesystem is not mounted. [02:38] edbian: Nope [02:39] I have a question about the gnome panels... When I open a program, the icon loads to the right of the power button in the top-right of corner... My question is how do I get the icon to load to the left of that power dropdown list? [02:39] DinVitamin, Then there is not a root account or password [02:39] edbian: How do I set one up? [02:39] DinVitamin: You don't. See what ubottu said. [02:39] #ubuntu does not support setting a root password, as it is not a good idea. [02:39] rww: I have a script where I *need* to enter the root password into su [02:40] lol [02:40] DinVitamin, This explains the whole root account / sudo thing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:40] DinVitamin: Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . Have fun in unsupported land :| [02:40] I win [02:40] ! === Logan_ is now known as Kappa_Quadrant === DinVitamin is now known as nzk [02:47] iv just installed 11.04 and got vlc downloaded, when trying to play media over my local network it downloads the entire copy to a tmp folder before playing, is there a way to get it to stream directly? [02:47] hey so , once i 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' do i just reboot the machine and the desktop automagically appears as it should? [02:48] What's standard location to install my programs to? === r3x is now known as kr1pt0r [02:48] kinections, yes [02:50] jtreminio: apt will handle that, they're (the executables) installed in /usr/bin [02:50] Is there a networking focused irc channel for ubuntu? [02:50] */usr/bin/ [02:50] mistergibson: #networking [02:50] aeon-ltd, I meant for programs that don't come with apt, like my IDE phpstorm ... but I'll stick it in there I guess! [02:50] I'm trying to find a file on my system. It should be there, but I can't find it with whereis. Anything else I can do? [02:51] jtreminio: it doesn't matter where that is as long as it's executable by the users you use it with, i'd create a shortcut for a launcher anyway [02:51] Getting further on my file system corruption issue here. fsck is no longer saying the filesystem is still corrupted when it is done, but if I run another fsck it still shows errors. What's going on here? [02:52] k guys i jus jumped through alot of hoops installed the windows driver for my wifi card with ndiswrap installed the default nvidia driver from the nvidia website had to do a nomodeset on the boot string to finish that one.... now im havn a problem though ive cranked my speakers full blast and sound setting on the comp full blast and i can still get sound but its like someones talking right next to me where as at the setting my stereo speakers [02:52] are at you should be able to hear it half a block away [02:53] teluge, look at the volume settings in alsa-mixer in particular pcm [02:53] also my sound sounds like its coming from a tin can [02:54] teluge: are you scotty in linuxmint-help? [02:54] oooohhh busted [02:54] um no [02:55] im teluge there [02:55] oh cause he said his sound sounds like its coming from a tin can as well [02:55] is Xorg X window system? [02:55] eb3ha4el: yes [02:55] ah well it all jjus happened after i got done installin the wifi [02:55] right thanks [02:55] and alsa is set to max [02:56] There's a GUI-based Kill program. Anyone know what it is? [02:56] teluge has linux mint? [02:56] It turns the mouse cursor into a skull and bones and kills the program I click on [02:56] yes i have julia which is based off of ubuntu 10.04 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:57] oh. you should try katya [02:57] teluge: Mint isn't supported in this channel. [02:57] xkill! [02:57] rww: mint is lightly modified ubuntu [02:57] does most wm or DE based on Xorg then? [02:57] FroyoShark: I'm aware. It's not supported in this channel. [02:57] !mintsupport [02:57] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:57] mint isnt really a real distro its ubuntu prettyfied [02:58] why does this channel have 3 floodbots? [02:58] FroyoShark: to offset server lag [02:58] so... grub wasn't set up on my computer that I just tried to install windows alongside my Ubuntu... [02:59] spacemagic: you have to install ubuntu after windows [02:59] jtreminio, Add that applet to your panel. It's a gnome panel applet [02:59] i know that way works, but lots of tutorials online said you could do it either way [02:59] eb3ha4el, All of them. The only alternative is wayland which is not yet usable [02:59] rww: is pinguy os or zorin supported then? [03:00] FroyoShark: no [03:00] spacebug-, what is your question? You'll need some bootloader [03:00] FroyoShark, Only ubuntu [03:00] maybe if I just install a different distro of linux that uses grub as well as windows? [03:00] rww: just ubuntu? what about kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, edubuntu, or ubuntu studio? [03:00] FroyoShark: the list under "Recognized Derivatives" on http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives , plus Lubuntu (it just got made official, page hasn't been updated) [03:00] rww: thanks [03:00] rww, when was this? :D [03:00] Semitones: UDS-O [03:01] Technically only Lubuntu 11.10 and higher are supported in here, but it's been a gray area for a while so whatever. [03:01] does -0 signify the day? [03:01] Semitones: no, it means the UDS for Oneiric [03:01] ok [03:01] rww: do you work for ubuntu or are you just really helpful? [03:02] neither o.O [03:02] FroyoShark: Ubuntu isn't a company. I'm a member of Ubuntu the project and a channel operator here. [03:02] when trying to play media over my local network in VLC it downloads the entire copy to a tmp folder before playing, is there a way to get it to stream directly? [03:02] rww: canonical is the company? [03:03] anyone know how to rebuild grub over windows MBR? [03:03] how are you [03:03] FroyoShark: Canonical is a company that, amongst other things, sponsors Ubuntu and develops part of it, yes. [03:03] spacemagic: i've done it before, don't remember how [03:03] spacemagic: try looking it up on google [03:03] B3rz3rk3r: I WISH !! [03:03] spacemagic: grub or grub2? [03:03] ok, that's nice to know it is possible :D [03:04] spacemagic, It's possible and not very hard [03:04] B3rz3rk3r - if you figure it out, let me know! =) [03:04] halon314 this never happened before until i install 11.04, what changed? [03:04] use a live cd and reinstall grub? lol [03:04] rww: what's the company that owns ubuntu? === jsec is now known as HaloODST [03:04] B3rz3rk3r - dunno' I've always had that problem [03:04] i tried to do that but it errors out on setup(hd0) [03:04] Froyo: Canonical [03:04] FroyoShark, Canonical [03:05] rww says canonical just sponsors it [03:05] halon314 im going to see if all of the players do that now, never used to get that happening. If it persists i will post on ubuntuforums, cos its freakin annoying! [03:05] FroyoShark: Canonical owns the trademark "Ubuntu", and the founder of Canonical is the benevolent dictator of Ubuntu. [03:05] FroyoShark, well it's GPL'd so no company owns it [03:06] edbian: Ubuntu is a collection of software under various licenses. It's not all GPL ;) [03:06] spacemagic: maybe try setup(sd0)? [03:06] rww: true [03:06] hi everyone, which file calls the services in /etc/init.d ? [03:06] Nicke__, init [03:07] when will they make a decent GPL driver for nvidia or broadcom? [03:07] edbian: isn't that a directory? [03:07] start with root (hd0) then setup(sd0) [03:08] so do you guys prefer unity, gnome 2, gnome 3, or kde? [03:08] Nicke__, well init.d is a directory. But type sudo init in a term and you'll see that it's a program too [03:08] NickP_: init is also a program, the very first thing that runs. it's responsible for bringing the system up after the kernel is loaded [03:09] spacemagic: i would try sd0 for both of them [03:09] tsimpson: i would like to disable a few of the scripts in /etc/init.d. the only way i know how right now is chmod -x. that, however, leaves permission denied messages when i'm booting up. === Nigr0 is now known as McDickie [03:09] cause itt used to be that everyone's first drive was called /dev/hda but then they switched it to /dev/sda for some reason [03:10] so i have ubuntu on my android phone, and firefox won't start. I'm trying to install chromium but apt-get install chromium-browser doesn't work [03:10] so i think all the stuff showing hd0 is from back then [03:10] so, i want to comment out those services. i just don't know where to look [03:10] retf, they switched it with SATA, which works pretty much like scsi, so it uses the same naming convention as the scsi devices [03:11] \ [03:11] retf, hd devices are IDE devices [03:11] NickP_: use the update-rc.d command to disable/enable services, that will remove/add links in /etc/rc*.d/ [03:11] good point [03:11] retf: Most disk modules in the Linux kernel use SCSI emulation these days, hence the naming convention. [03:11] thanks retf [03:11] NickP_: there is also a GUI for it in the "bum" package [03:11] that makes sense. thank you, Aginor [03:11] tsimpson: nice. thanks :) [03:11] and rww [03:12] so /dev/hda is never used anymore? === HaloODST is now known as jsec [03:14] retf: probably if you plugged in a really old hard disk, but I've never seen any modern stuff use it [03:14] if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal as a wget? [03:14] I have a question... when I am opening up files, say in any application, and I want to browse through folders, I have to highlight the folder and click 'ok'... where can change this so that I can just double click a folder to open it? [03:14] What do people think of Unity? What about the Gnome 3 Shell? [03:15] scott-ian: #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions. #ubuntu is for actual technical support ;) [03:15] well its interesting to me because i have some PATA drives, and they show up as hda under old kernels and sda under new ones, making me forget what name is have to use for everything >_< [03:15] if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal as a wget? [03:15] Hello, and good morning everybody [03:16] hammma, good evening [03:16] hello, what file is used for running a service on startup? [03:16] heh update-rc.d is nice :D [03:16] /etc/init.d/myservice.sh ? [03:16] ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen. sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not, whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob [03:16] MrKeuner, What are you asking? init would run myservice.sh [03:17] if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal and do a wget? [03:17] MrKeuner: use startup applications in preferences [03:17] edbian, if I place myservice.sh in /etc/init.d, will it be run at each boot? [03:17] MrKeuner: you'd probably have to add it to your inittab [03:17] FroyoShark, I'd like the service run even if no one is logged in [03:18] syrinx_, inittab? which file is that? [03:18] MrKeuner, No. You need to use update-rc.d [03:18] if i got a .zip file in my email how do i get it in the terminal and do a wget? [03:19] dkhe, good question! [03:20] edbian: sarcasm? [03:20] dkhe, No. It's just a hard question [03:20] MrKeuner: nvm, ubuntu doesn't seem to have one [03:20] edbian: oh ok, ill make it easier. [03:20] syrinx_, ok [03:20] dkhe, I think you have to use a mail program. You could use a CLI one if that's the issue [03:20] Does anyone have a suggestion? [03:20] edbian, thanks that worked [03:20] MrKeuner, No problem [03:21] edbian: CLI? [03:21] hi guys, im using 9.04 and i accidently disabled the Tray area [03:21] how can i re-enable it? [03:22] dkhe, command line (not graphical) [03:22] When using the badblocks utility, can I run it on the RAID device, or do I need to run it on each of the RAID components? [03:22] silvering, add 'notification area' to the panel [03:22] edbian thanks [03:22] Hey guys. I am using the classic desktop in ubuntu 11.04 / the one that looks like gnome 2 however I can no longer move windows on the task bar for example I just opened a new gnome-terminal window and I want to drag it to the far left of the task bar as if I had opened as the first item on the task and not the 5th but it doesn't seem to let me do this. Am I missing something or is this pretty much stuck like this in 11.04? [03:22] edbian: i dont know what that is. [03:22] silvering, sure [03:22] !GUI | dkhe [03:22] dkhe: The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [03:22] Hi all, what's the difference between /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.plist ? [03:22] I have 11.04 installed, my computer have an Intel integrated graphics. For some reason windows frame disappear, and hence I won't be able minimize, maximize or even move the window (unless I press alt button of course), currently windows manager uses compize . the only to resolve this is to restart the windows manager, I have been facing this problem since the previous version of ubuntu [03:22] dkhe, The GUI is stuff you click on. The terminal is CLI [03:23] dkhe, Why do you need to wget things from an email?? [03:23] edbian: thats the only way i know how to get files. I just wanted to get a .zip file from my email so i can extract it in terminal. [03:23] hammma, Do you have a terminal open? [03:23] dkhe: you want to use wget to download a file from email? [03:23] dkhe, How do you view your emails normally? [03:24] dkhe, wget is used to download things from the web, email is not web [03:24] edbian: okay, it's open [03:24] hammma, can you type in it? [03:24] ebian: of course [03:24] edbian: i just open my email. So i downloaded the .zip file so how could i get it in terminal? [03:24] hammma, compiz --replace& [03:24] edbian: well email can be web i.e. gmail, yahoo, squirrel mail on your own server [03:24] Anyone? /etc/apt/sources.list vs. /etc/apt/sources.plist? [03:24] dkhe, cd into the folder you downloaded it into [03:25] dkhe: or you could right click in the folder and open a terminal there [03:25] edbian: yea but i need to get it in to a shell. [03:25] night everyone [03:25] jetole, but in application level, email and web are two different things [03:25] Anyways, does anyone know if there is any way to reposition a window in the task bar on 11.04 with classic desktop [03:25] dkhe, Read up on how to use the terminal and the answer will be very clear [03:25] !terminal | dkhe [03:25] dkhe: 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). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:25] ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen. sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not, whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob [03:25] edbian: I know. I run many of both servers but I also run squirrel mail and I could use wget with that if I wanted to. I just don't know why anyone would want to [03:25] dkhe: you don't "get it into a shell".. it's already accessable there.. just open a terminal and cd to the download directory [03:25] anyone know how to use wmii? I just installed it but completely stuck.. it seems wmii manual online doesn't work with mine strangely enough [03:26] jetole, I suppose you could! Good point [03:26] izinucs: but its a passworded shell [03:26] I am running the latest release 11.04... with the unity desktop manager... when I am within a program and I want to open a file, while browsing for the file, I have to highlight folders and then click 'ok' to get them to open. Is there any way I can set it up so that I can just double click the folders to open them? [03:26] dkhe: what does that mean?.. a root shell? [03:26] dkhe: by the way, if you don't have webmail then wget is useless since a email and all of it's attachments are one object seperated internally by mime headers [03:26] izinucs: a vps. [03:27] jetole: ok [03:27] dkhe: vps ?? [03:27] edbian: how do you add a new network? [03:27] dkhe: even if you can find a way to get wget to read pop3/imap/whatever protocol, your email, each email is one file. A email with 100 attachments is one file [03:27] edbian: it never connects for me [03:27] how come you can not SU in ubuntu 11.+? [03:28] jetole: ok well i just need the zip file to get in to my vps im just trying to figure out how to [03:28] FroyoShark, wifi? [03:28] edbian: yes [03:28] luchenbill: I just ran su fine in 11.04 [03:28] dkhe: you mean a vpn connection? [03:28] FroyoShark, What card do you have? [03:28] edbian: broadcom b43 [03:28] edbian: this seems to be temporary remedy? [03:28] !sudo | luchenbill [03:28] luchenbill: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:28] dkhe: download the zip file from your email client [03:28] hammma, When you reboot it will be back to normal [03:28] edbian: i can connect to networks but not if i add a new one [03:29] FroyoShark, You can only create networks on the router [03:29] jetole: i did. but its in downloads now but what now? i need to get it on my vps and i dont know how. [03:29] edbian: i mean in xchat [03:29] I have never ran ubuntu before, but in other linux distro's I'm able to su to get # and not ~ just curious [03:29] FroyoShark, what... ? [03:29] dkhe: how do you get the rest of your files to your vps. Do you have ssh? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:29] edbian: if i go to xchat, network list, i can't add a new network [03:29] FroyoShark, xchat is an irc client, there are servers and channels but not networks [03:29] jetole: yes. [03:29] FroyoShark, oh lemme see hang on [03:29] dkhe: man scp [03:29] FroyoShark, When you hit the add button what happens? [03:30] ok , i downloaded and installed 11.04 but when trying to boot into the system after grub everything hangs on blank screen. sometimes busybox is displayed sometimes not, whats going on, i see many ppl reporting this prob [03:30] edbian: it gives me a text box to put in the name [03:30] jetole: man scp? [03:30] !root | luchenbill [03:30] luchenbill: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:30] FroyoShark, So put a name in. You name the network. It's arbitrary [03:30] dkhe: in fact I will make it easy, if your ssh host is dkhe.company.com and you connect by typing "ssh dkhe.company.com" then run the commnand "scp Downloads/myfile.zip dkhe.company.com:" (without the quotes) [03:30] FroyoShark, What are you trying to accomplish? [03:30] ahh cool cool, I was thinking that I messed something up while I installed it [03:30] lol [03:30] I was like omg what did I set the pw for [03:31] luchenbill, You're good [03:31] luchenbill, The window decorator crashed. [03:31] edbian: i'm trying to connect to another channel, ie terminal, sudo [03:31] dkhe: man is a command to tell you how to use other commands. It's short for manual [03:31] dkhe: so if you type "man scp" then it will display the manual for the scp program [03:31] I am running the latest release 11.04... with the unity desktop manager... when I am within a program and I want to open a file, while browsing for the file, I have to highlight folders and then click 'ok' to get them to open. Is there any way I can set it up so that I can just double click the folders to open them? [03:31] FroyoShark, The things you're saying do not make sense. To join another channel in xchat you just type /join #channelName [03:31] edbian: so there is no point in doing the tutorial on how to set the su for it from youtube? [03:31] I got error: "Error while parsing number" when I tried root (sd0) in grub [03:31] FroyoShark, for example: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:32] sudo is will suffice? [03:32] edbian: oh my bad. i'm new to xchat [03:32] luchenbill, Set the su for what? [03:32] FroyoShark, no worries :) [03:32] well I saw on youtube you can create the root account? [03:32] spacemagic: /join #grub [03:32] nvm probably just something stupid [03:32] luchenbill: you should be using sudo anyways [03:32] luchenbill, You can create a root account if you want. It is not necessary. sudo is a complete replacement [03:32] cool tyvm :D [03:32] luchenbill, no problem [03:33] luchenbill: su works for me on 11.04 but I only tried it because you asked. sudo is the preferred way to go [03:33] is this because of an extra protection? [03:33] jetole: ? [03:33] luchenbill, It's not extra protection. It's just a different security scheme [03:34] edbian: an awkward replacement at times. ie sudo somecommand > somefile oops can't write to somefile :( [03:34] luchenbill: you should be using sudo and not su but you asked why su doesn't work in 11.x (which there is only one 11.x distro, 11.04) and I just ran it fine on 11.04 for me so su does work fine on 11.04 but you should not use su. you should use sudo === aron is now known as Guest71516 [03:34] whats a good program for uploading music onto a phone? [03:34] taglass, yeah sometimes [03:34] Guest71516: cp [03:34] ^ [03:35] ebian: you only need to log off and log in again, but the question is why this is happening in the first place? [03:35] jetole, luchenbill you cannot su root because there is no root account. su without a username is su root [03:35] taglass: everything is awkward when you don't understand it for example unity is awkward as hell to me and I have been using Linux since 98 with my first GUI being fvwm95 on redhat 5.2 but the point is sudo work and it works well. it just has a learning curve if you are used to always running commands as room [03:35] *root [03:35] hammma, I don't know. Something is causing the window decorator to crash. What are doing that causes the window decorations to disappear? [03:35] edbian: actually there is a root account. Who told you that? [03:36] !root [03:36] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:36] jetole, ubottu did [03:36] edbian: read that [03:36] edbian: sudo su - then passwd [03:36] lol [03:36] edbian: read what you just posted [03:36] so i have ubuntu on my other laptop, and whenever i don't move the mouse for 5-10 seconds, things will freeze, such as flash, videos, downloads [03:36] it says root password, not account [03:36] There is no root password only? [03:36] ahhh [03:36] jetole: yeah su works but you can't get the password right? [03:36] never knew that [03:36] you can't login to su? [03:36] celthunder: what is cp? i tried to install and it said it cant find the package [03:36] edbian: sometimes, immediately after turning on the computer [03:36] edbian: right [03:36] edbian: ls -l / [03:36] anybody help? [03:36] see who owns all those files [03:36] luchenbill, su stands for switch user. The correct phrasing is that you can't log into root using su [03:36] Guest71516: it's already installed... [03:37] jetole, sorry! [03:37] got it [03:37] Guest71516: cp = copy [03:37] Okay, maybe I'm really stupid. [03:37] It's pretty much impossible to have a linux install with root [03:37] jetole: its saying no file or direc this isnt working. the file is there [03:37] rofl sorry you knew what I was saying my bad [03:37] edbian: also: sudo -i [03:37] run that [03:37] then type: id [03:37] But I'm using XFCE and I want to set up x11 so that my screen works. [03:37] jetole, thank you :D [03:37] Which GUI apps are available to me? [03:37] I believe gnome was installed when I installed lucid. [03:37] edbian: did you run those two commands? sudo -i and id? [03:37] cool eh? [03:37] jetole: it's possible...and quite easy just give another user UID 0/ GID 0 [03:37] jetole, yes. It says root [03:37] celthunder: nothing happened when i plugged my phone in. [03:37] jetole, :) [03:37] on my other laptop things will freeze like youtube, videos, downloads [03:38] anybody know how to fix this? [03:38] It just needs a little more tweaking to be slightly more readable. [03:38] Guest71516: si it set to usb disk mode? is udisks seeing it? [03:38] celthunder: it's possible but it will fail. too many applications depend on root access [03:38] please? i've had this problem since ubuntu 9.04 [03:38] can anyone help with making bootUSB in linux? it doesnt work... [03:39] jetole: coreutils etc will work..dunno about other stuff i usually rename my root account on servers etc [03:39] celthunder: do you really? [03:39] When I use certain programs, and go to file open, it is very hard to browse through the file structure, because I have to click to highlight each folder and then click ok to get that folder to open, instead of just being able to double-click it.... is there any way to change this? It only seems to happen on certain programs. [03:39] celthunder: and it works? [03:39] can someone help me play wmv movie file please [03:39] jetole: yeah never had any problems [03:39] jetole: i'm wierd though... [03:39] I know many many apps will look at the UID but a lot I just really never expected to be that advanced [03:39] celthunder: yeah I guess... why do you do it? [03:39] lol [03:39] Bueller? [03:40] anyone? [03:40] jetole: i was bored one day..did it as a test on a system it worked..kept doing it [03:40] In case anyone cares the way around my awkward example is sudo sh -c "somecommand > somefile" [03:40] knight_: mplayer [03:40] knight_, try to play one with totem, what happens? [03:40] taglass, hahaha [03:40] taglass, thanks [03:40] celthunder: wow. Yeah all my servers I deploy from images and I really don't plan to make that change but I have to admit. I am pretty surprised it works [03:40] it says totem is installed and mplayer is installed but i cant find them [03:41] knight_, open a terminal, type totem [03:41] jetole: i have a few production servers and like 20 test ones lol...i just do whatever i want when i'm bored [03:41] How do I sync (or at least enough for ringtones) a Samsung Gusto on Lucid 10.04? [03:41] Guest71516: ? lsusb see it [03:41] knight_: mplayer can be run from the command line. I would google mediabuntu, install that repo then install w64codecs too [03:41] Hi. I'm using irssi and ircd-hybrid. Even though I /oper, I can't see secret (+s) channels with /list. What am I doing wrong? [03:42] TVision: what oper permissions do you have [03:42] this is the error i get with totem it says its encrypted [03:42] when i download a program i navigate to it [03:42] but how to i install it? [03:42] can anyone at least acknowledge my question? [03:42] celthunder: where would it be? on the top of the screen? [03:42] knight_, encrypted? can mplayer play it? [03:42] celthunder: the server spits this out: Oper privs are AbDGHKlNORsUx [03:42] knight_, can vlc play it? [03:42] renosis, ack [03:42] jetole: it doesnt work [03:43] edbian: vlc fails use mplayer [03:43] celthunder, vlc fails? Never heard that before [03:43] whew, I thought noone could hear me [03:43] heh [03:43] about to try [03:43] Guest71516: check in a terminal [03:43] celthunder: cool. I forget what bored is. I'm always too busy and it sucks. I have a lot more then a few production servers that I am responsible for. Right now I am deploying redundant load balancing through IPVS and heartbeat which is cool. We are replacing our load balancers with two. If one fails, the other takes over automatically / active/passive with hot standby. It's fun but that gives you idea of how busy I am. [03:44] how do i play one with mplayer [03:44] celthunder: and my usermode looks like this: +ailoswz [03:44] I'm going for a smoke. be back in 10 [03:44] and vlc wont [03:44] is it ok if a symlink has a lrwxrwxrwx permissions? [03:44] knight_, Is the wmv encrypted? [03:44] I'm looking at munin plugins which are stored under /usr/share/munin/plugins and linked to /etc/munin/plugins [03:44] So, there are a few programs, that bring up some old fashioned file browser, in which you can't double click folders to get them open... anyone have a suggestion? [03:44] how can I set the permissions for the /var/www dir so I can start testing websites? [03:44] jetole: i need a job want to throw some of your workload at me :) [03:44] idk how would i find out [03:45] knight_, mplayer /path/to/file [03:45] celthunder: how? [03:45] renosis, What app? wing IDE? [03:45] luchenbill: you become a member of www-data.. you don't change permissions [03:45] edbian, replicatorG [03:45] Guest71516: udisks --daemon then new tab plug it in lsusb then go back to the first one udisks see it? [03:45] edbian, for 3d printing on a makerbot [03:45] edbian, but there are others too [03:45] edbian let me go find one [03:46] whois celthunder [03:46] TVision: the local jackass who're you [03:46] * taglass passes TVision a / [03:46] renosis, Does it look like this: http://fishsoup.net/bib/FileSelectorFosdem2003/gtk-plain.png [03:46] izinucs: could you point me in the right direction on that, i'm a bit new to this whole linux thing :D [03:47] edbian, yes very similar [03:47] Just checking your timezone is all. [03:47] luchenbill: useradd -G www-data [03:47] is there any place to configure... whatever file browser that is? [03:47] renosis, That is the deprecated file chooser dialog written in gtk. The developers have to change the app to use the new one (which they really should) You're just gonna have to deal with it :( [03:47] TVision: lol gmt -6 i'm connecte through a server in a diff timezone...and i am on at odd hours...do 60 hours a week so...i'm on at random hours when not at work [03:47] mouche: cool could you help me understand exactly what it does, besides the obvious of adding a user to www-data, what is www-data? [03:48] luchenbill: every thing belongs to a group.. www-data is the group for apache2 .. how did you get the idea you have to change permissions to test an apache server? [03:48] edbian ok, that's too bad... thanks :] [03:48] renosis, yeah, that sucks [03:48] In 11.04, my sidebar won't go away. I have it set to only pop out when I move my mouse to the top left corner, but it's staying out. How can I push it back in? [03:48] i got this error when i try to play it using mplayer MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.5.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team [03:48] mplayer: could not connect to socket [03:48] mplayer: No such file or directory [03:48] Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. [03:48] can someone help me scp my file from my laptop in to a passwored vps? [03:48] knight_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:48] luchenbill, www-data is a group [03:48] izinucs: well i'm trying to place a index.php file I created into the /var/www folder, and it's not allowing me [03:48] #grub is way too quiet to get help from [03:48] edbian, ok, that is all I needed to know, thanks very much for your help [03:48] oh sorry [03:48] why wont java work in firefox for ubuntu? [03:48] Habstina1, full screen same app [03:48] renosis, sure [03:48] gkj: scp : [03:49] gkj: add -r if it's a dir etc...same as if it were cp [03:49] luchenbill: place it? where .. in the /var/www folder? [03:49] luchenbill, do you have a gui on this machine? [03:49] from where? [03:49] celthunder: Ever tried polyphaisic sleep? Sleep 1 hour blocks at regular intervals. It screws with your head for a few weeks, but when I was doing that I got a crazy amount of work done. [03:49] i just tried grub-install /dev/sda and got "could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [03:49] yes sir, i'm using gnome it's a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 [03:49] edbian: Sorry, I don't quite understand. I've tried toggling my open apps from fullscreen to windowed mode and back. [03:49] TVision: i sleep 2 hours a day or less on average...i'm not breakingit in half [03:49] spacemagic, figure ou the /dev/sdX by looking at sudo fdisk -l [03:49] TVision: i barely get enough as it is [03:49] cat /proc/version [03:49] Linux version 2.6.38-8-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 [03:50] Habstina1, mmm, when I full screen any app (maximize) the bar hides. That's all I know [03:50] what up [03:50] edbian: Yes. Mine usually does too. But now it won't. [03:50] celthunder: Caffiene is God's (Or Evolution's) gift to hard-working people. . . [03:50] luchenbill: your gcc is out of date [03:50] TVision: got that right... [03:50] I created a file on my desktop called index.php and I wanted to move it into /var/www so I could view it using http://localhost/ [03:50] ok heres the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/611662/ [03:50] luchenbill: the separate user for the webserver is for security reasons; it has very little permissions to do anything other than what's required for the webserver [03:50] in kde i am unable to connect to ad-hoc networks, when i can in gnome [03:50] should it say Linux Swap or just linux? [03:50] edbian: It's a real pain because it blocks more than a few important buttons in LibreOffice. [03:50] celthunder: I see it in lsusb [03:51] Habstina1, I don't know. It's frozen? [03:51] Guest71516: and udisks? [03:51] anybody help me with connecting to ad-hoc in kde? [03:51] Guest71516: does it show up in /dev [03:51] celthunder: Anyway, I can't for the life of me figure out why ircd-hybrid won't let my list +s channels. Do I need to do something to the config file? [03:51] hello? [03:51] luchenbill: sudo mv /Desktop/ /var/www/ ... then sudo chown root:www-data /var/www/ [03:51] spacemagic, It should say linux. But you don't install grub to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda5 you install it to the harddrive. /dev/sda [03:51] FroyoShark: ifconfig wlan0 down;iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid "";ifconfig wlan0 up;dhcpcd wlan0 [03:51] right [03:51] that is what I tried [03:52] grub-install /dev/sda [03:52] FroyoShark: replace wlan0 with your wireless inteface [03:52] edbian: Nope. It still works for switching windows, but it just won't go away. [03:52] so chown will change the permissions for that folder? [03:52] luchenbill: no chown changes group/owner [03:52] any idea? [03:52] er owner/group rather [03:53] luchenbill: no .. chown changes the owner and group.. the file needs to be owned by root and a member of www-data [03:53] Hello. Any bind experts? Does rndc.key expire after a year? [03:53] sorry i'm just trying to understand fully what i'm doing :) [03:53] celthunder: I dont see it in udisks. and dont know how to look at /dev [03:53] fdisk -l command doesn't list any of device including USB. any ideas? [03:54] spacemagic, I think you have to sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/path/to/mounted/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda [03:54] spacemagic, do you have the ubuntu install mounted? [03:54] i'm running off live cd [03:54] so I would need to do this with every file I would like to move in there? [03:54] Habstina1, I don't know [03:54] spacemagic, I know [03:54] where is boot directory? [03:55] Test [03:55] luchenbill: you can move them all there and change them in bulk if you want.. makes it easier if you (your user) becomes a member of www-data [03:55] spacemagic, it should be in / but we want to use the /boot that's on the Ubuntu install, not the one on the live CD [03:55] luchenbill: ln -s ~/public_html /var/www/;a2enmod userdir [03:55] luchenbill: do the first one as root [03:55] right. so how do i access it [03:55] luchenbill: then just move your stuff in public_html [03:55] spacemagic, Did you mount the ubuntu install ? [03:56] luchenbill: if you're in the /var/www directory you can ls -la which will give you a listing of files in the directory and their owner/group association [03:56] Is there a "workspace" system for CL? [03:56] celthunder: so its in my places but its not letting me do anything to it.

[03:57] TuffPoo: yes. [03:57] ball: im in ubuntu classic [03:57] evildaemon, check out "screen" [03:57] edbian: I'd rather it not be there at all and have to swtich my windows manually at this point. [03:57] Habstina1, Log out, click your name, change the session to 'ubuntu classic' and log in :) [03:57] TuffPoo: just reinstall if you want [03:57] Guest71516: did the udisks daemon see it does it show up in /dev? is it in usb storage mode? [03:57] how???? [03:57] TuffPoo: with the cd.. no need to uninstall [03:57] edbian: Thanks. [03:57] oops Guest11276 sorry lol i scrolled up and read your other message twice [03:57] spacemagic, If you didn't mount it I can tell you how [03:58] Guest71516: ok are you in group storage? type mount what's the permissions it's mounted with? [03:58] celthunder: I dont see it in udisks. and dont know how to look at /dev [03:58] thanks for the advice gusy [03:58] guys* [03:58] np [03:59] izinucs: i can use the cd to reinstall gnome? [03:59] Guest71516: how's it mounted [03:59] TuffPoo: it will reinstall the entire system.. [03:59] TuffPoo: sure......you don't need the cd though === manco is now known as Guest23768 [04:00] TuffPoo: just mount it from the livecd and then enter ti as a chroot and install what you want [04:00] celthunder: I dont know how to find that out. [04:00] TuffPoo: the thing is you're assuming that gnome is causing the issues you're having.. it might not be .. [04:00] I was having trouble restarting bind9. I kept seeing references to the error being associated with rndc.key, and I noticed the date on rndc.key was 2010-05-21, a year ago yesterday. [04:00] Guest71516: pastebin output of mount [04:01] FoolishOwl: so you made a 1 year valid key [04:01] izinucs: it is its crashing and its saying gnome crashes [04:02] how do you open 2 terminals in ubuntu 11.04? === soyo is now known as Guest32518 [04:02] ehduhj, Open the first one, then open the second one [04:02] TuffPoo: sorry I can't diagnose your issue. someone else will have to take up the cause. [04:02] ehduhj: depends on your window manager aliases bindings and etc [04:02] celthunder, that's what it looks like. I haven't seen anything in the documentation about an expiration, though. [04:02] edbian: how? [04:02] ehduhj: ctrl + shift + n [04:02] FoolishOwl: most keys have a default of 1 year when you make them [04:02] ehduhj, ? [04:02] OR middle-click on the terminal icon [04:02] thx [04:03] applications -> accessories -> terminal and repeat [04:03] lol [04:03] this is fantastic everything is greyed out [04:03] yay I knew that one [04:04] how to force-quit an application under the 11.04 window manager? [04:04] alt-f4 [04:04] celthunder: would if I could @ workload [04:04] I mean' an application that is hung and won't exit cleanly [04:04] tapple: Alt +F2 and run "xkill" [04:04] celthunder: I don't work for HR and unless you live close to Miami then there isn't a chance [04:05] force-quit panel add [04:05] jetole: willing to move...can move within a week if needd [04:05] your curson then changes to an X and you click in the window [04:05] tapple: alt-f2 xkill "click on app to kill" [04:05] celthunder: good to know but again, I don't work in HR [04:05] jetole: lol thanks anyway :) [04:05] damned too slow [04:05] thanks [04:05] Everything seems fine since I did rndc-confgen -a and forced a reboot -- the original problem was I couldn't restart bind. [04:05] celthunder: it wont allow me to change permissions says its read only [04:06] hi folks, anyone know how to debug a memory leak? ie, how can I be sure it is the program that I think it is [04:07] Guest71516: mount -o remount,rw [04:07] i made a huge nub mistake, http://pastebin.com/JuvdX6py i read through the file and pushed CTRL + C but then the update thing went away, help please. [04:08] jetole: i love peoples nicks in here [04:08] helpwithubuntu: try restarting the upgrade [04:08] celthunder: do i write that in a terminal? [04:08] not sure why my screen wants to flicker no matter what refresh rate i use. [04:08] danbhfive: strace? [04:08] Guest71516: yes [04:08] well if it's a low res it doesn't do it though [04:08] infinitux: turn off vsync [04:08] vsync? [04:08] how? [04:09] vsync drops your refresh rate to the same as the vertical sync which is USUALLY the refresh rate [04:09] er it drops your fps rather [04:09] danbhfive, http://pastebin.com/rQ5REp1M [04:09] ;(! [04:09] this will work with my nvidia driver? [04:10] infinitux: use nvidias utils to do it then for the how === theaber_ is now known as theaber [04:10] uh. how? [04:11] ok i just went to ubuntu software center and installed virtualbox-ose and tried to add windows xp to it and it told me that it failed to open the os and that i needed to install virtualbox-ose-dkms but i already have it installed and the other thing it told me was to do a sudo modprobe vboxdrv and that just gives me the error FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found? [04:11] disable Sync to VBlank? [04:11] ont use ose [04:11] tacomaster: #virtualbox [04:11] actually, I'm not sure if they support the Open Source edition [04:11] danbhfive think theres a way to fix it or should i just wipe the drive,? [04:11] celthunder: it says only root can do that. I dont know how to be root [04:11] tacomaster: i would agree w/ that.. dn';t use the OSE.. download/install from virtualbox.org [04:11] tacomaster: forget the -ose version.. go right to their site and download the ubuntu version there. [04:12] barf [04:12] ok ty for fast responce [04:12] helpwithubuntu: hmmm, I dunno, that sucks that it doesn't pick up where it left off. btw, don't use -d unless you want the latest development release. I would try just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if you don't care about any left over packages that much [04:12] celthunder: disable Sync to VBlank? [04:12] danbhfive, sudo apt-get dist-upgrad [04:13] oh fail, http://pastebin.com/Ca66yRrA * [04:14] Guest71516: sudo su - [04:15] infinitux: try it [04:15] celthunder: yes? [04:15] helpwithubuntu: er, I'm unsure how to debug that. I think there is some sort of fuser command [04:16] it's not flickering as much if at all. [04:16] helpwithubuntu: the other option is to just remove the lock and continue... [04:16] any linux programs that can change the pitch/sound of mic audio realtime? [04:16] infinitux: well...improvement is better than nothing [04:16] Hey all I got a Q. Hope someone has an A. [04:16] i use srs audio in wine [04:17] focex A [04:17] I want to find a way to put a Linux Distro on to a sprint HTC Mogul. WM6.1 [04:17] scottj: probably [04:17] celthunder: No need to start a root shell when "sudo mount -o remount,rw ..." works just as well. [04:17] Jordan_U: probably not...i hate sudo though...1000x more typing than just keeping a root term open 24/7 [04:18] I have all the info on the phone but can't find any info on a distro for it or how to flash it to the phone. [04:18] celthunder: While you may prefer that it's discouraged in this channel as among other things it makes it easier to make catastrophic mistakes.

[04:22] in unity, how do I get info about what a dock bar icon does? The "install ubuntu 11.04" launcher is doing nothing, and I want to know what program it runs so I can run it in a terminal and see if there are error messages [04:22] scottj, im sure gstreamer can, but its not particularly user friendly === ShermanBoyd_ is now known as ShermanBoyd [04:22] toggles: what's the error sorry i think i missed it [04:24] Is anyone else having trouble with unity on older hardware (P4, integrated video) [04:24] ? [04:26] levtim: what kind of trouble [04:26] It drops back to regular gnome 2.x [04:29] celthunder: thanks for the suggestion of strace. I've no idea how to read the output though... [04:32] Does Darwinia allow you to reinstall it? === clay_ is now known as ClayG [04:32] I had to do a fresh insta;; [04:32] install* [04:32] when you have the ubuntu dvd, how do you install a server version of it i forget. === unnamed is now known as Guest84559 [04:32] isn't it a boot option? [04:33] unnamed bootstrap [04:33] Guest84559: bootstrap though i think that's usually for netinstalls you can use it wth the dvd [04:33] how does nouveau compare with the proprietary driver? [04:33] ah okay celthunder [04:34] jmcantrell: depends what youre using it for [04:34] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: It should do, yes. Re-add the PPA using the information on http://launchpad.net/people/+me/+archivesubscriptions/ and reinstall the relevant package. [04:34] celthunder: so when the installer comes up how do i tell it i don't want it installing gnome? [04:35] celthunder: well, desktop effects. minecraft [04:35] rww, it's a purchased game [04:35] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: I'm aware. [04:35] There was no PPA information? [04:36] under ubuntu 11.04 , I had sound running ubuntu classic. I logged into Ubuntu and lost my audio and it is even now gone under Classic. Any ideas? [04:36] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: Did you look at that page? [04:36] ah found it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [04:36] It said I couldn't access the page rww [04:36] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: log in to Launchpad [04:36] I am logged in [04:36] it said it's private [04:37] Guest84559: http://book.xen.prgmr.com/mediawiki/index.php/Debootstrap it's for a vps install but replace relevant crap with the cd info and you'll be fine [04:37] Guest84559: should give you the equiv of a min install [04:37] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: what's the exact message you get? [04:38] do i just add 'linux-generic' to the boot options? [04:38] "You do not have any current subscriptions to private archives. " [04:38] or do i have to put it somewhere else is what im wondering [04:38] is nouveau the recommended driver or should i stick with nvidia's? [04:38] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: Beautiful. I guess Software Center has multiple ways of dealing with this stuff, then, because the one I got used a PPA. [04:38] jmcantrell: if you get nvidia's working use it if not nouveau [04:38] ok has anyone in here used app inventor? [04:38] Yeah, I paided for Darwinia and then it just downloaded [04:39] Hello, Is there a way i can add windows 7 as a option to my bootmenu inside ubuntu? Cause i can't boot into anymore to retrieve my files [04:39] celthunder: well, it's playing havoc with plymouth [04:39] I need somebody who knows their way around C programming to help me fix vloopback-source. the package provided by the natty repo is incompatible with kernels 2.6.38 and higher because of the absence of videodev.h. I have already changed it to depend on libv4l1.h but I'm still getting the following errors - http://dpaste.com/545431/ [04:39] is there any way to set my video settings on boot to some higher resolution and just do a text boot? [04:40] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: the way it works with Vendetta is that it adds access to a private PPA to your LP account, adds the PPA to your sources.list, and then downloads the package. It's all transparent so that you just see it downloading stuff. [04:40] could someone look at this image of my screen and let me know what to change or do diff??... http://imagebin.org/154560 [04:40] I'm a complete newbie with c, btw [04:40] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu: if you don't have any PPA subscriptions on the LP account you put into Software Center, I guess Darwinia is different, and I'm not about to drop $10 to check that ;) [04:40] Yeah, I don't think Darwinia does that. Thanks for the help though! HAHA [04:40] Oh well [04:40] I contacted them, I'll see what they say [04:41] any way to turn off plymouth? [04:41] someone just shot up alice coopers house [04:42] jmcantrell: if you just want to see the messages, I think [esc] works [04:42] jmcantrell: i don't even have plymouth installed...

If I am IRC op, how can I get /list to show secret (+s) channels? Sorry English no good. [04:46] danbhfive: anything that set's that as a dependancy fails [04:46] fushigamu: you don't [04:46] Tempus_Fugit: given that the package is a deb, it's only a problem for people who installed the deb [04:46] Tempus_Fugit: probably someone has reported the issue to whoever is distributing that package [04:47] Then is there a way to disable secret channels? [04:47] Has anyone here got nvidia non-free drivers working with 32-bit PAE kernel? I can't get them working with PAE kernel. It starts up with the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" thing [04:47] tensorpudding: ok ty [04:47] Is there much difference between CVS & SVN ? Is one "better"? [04:47] fushigamu: which IRCd are you using? [04:47] ircd-hybrid [04:47] hi all [04:47] HelloWorld321: there are some big usability differences, SVN is considered to be superior [04:47] do you have a 64 bit processor? [04:47] HelloWorld321: if it's only between those two... svn [04:47] if /oper, then can't I see all channels, even secret? [04:48] HelloWorld321: git is better but svn is generally better than cvs [04:48] carnage1: yes [04:48] I have recently installed ubuntu 11.04 and all was well [04:48] pae is 48 bit [04:48] i figured out what made virtualbox not work i had to do a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" then a sudo /etc/init.d/vbox setup [04:48] thegoodcushion: why are you using 32bit pae instead of just using 64 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:48] celthunder: well... the website said I should use 32 bit and it talked me into it [04:49] my system (11.04) isn't detectuing a sound card,, any suggestions?

[04:51] tacomaster: it works faster in 64 bit [04:51] The fun part is that the man page SAYS it sends urls to the browser but this is a blatant lie. [04:51] tacomaster: everything works fine for me in x64 [04:51] any unity experts ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:52] Now I've put effort into getting my installation working properly.

[05:10] next step may be to do a complete reinstall of operating system [05:11] Da|Mummy: no need for that attitude [05:11] I am stuck with this... http://i.imgur.com/uVGbu.png [05:11] those posts didn't help much [05:11] Here is the paste for it http://paste.ubuntu.com/611676/ [05:11] I enjoy rockbox as much as the next person, but not everyone needs to use it [05:11] I [05:11] they need to try it though [05:11] I'm using an iPhone [05:12] it doesn't use rockbox iirc. [05:12] Da|Mummy: they don't need it to be shoved down their throats. [05:12] I never tried rockbox, but couldn't get ipodlinux to work.

[05:20] Da|Mummy: dont take it as a reliable workaround but perhaps removing the dot would do it, try it and see if it works [05:20] this sounds like something that would cause more problems then solutions... [05:20] Da|Mummy: the risk is that it remakes a wine directory with the dot (in this case just remove the dotted one and readd the dot to the undotted one) [05:20] * nomulous sounding like an idiot [05:20] nomulous: i have 1500 on one of my drives :P [05:21] top panel keeps crashing on ubuntu 11.04 after making any change to the system, can anyone help?

[05:22] nomulous: you can't until it's reached the S.M.A.R.T. treshold value [05:22] Da|Mummy: right click and go on make a link, then move it wherever you like [05:22] juan_: did you disable bluetooth, update manager, and ubuntu one [05:22] S.M.A.R.T checks aren't supported for external drives on my machine though, so how do I know?

It works on my ubuntu machine [05:54] Foogrc: whats the manager? Vmware virtualbox what?

[05:56] Foogrc: i dont really remember how it works with vmware but did you get it to realize there is actually a vm? [05:56] I do not have the windows machine in front of me currently, sorry or I would run the VM and get exact message [05:56] SSHing to the hostname does not work until after I've pinged the hostname [05:56] I obtain: "xinit: giving up; xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused; waiting for X server to shut down ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log. xinit: unexpected signal 2; xauth: error in locking authority file /home/detlef/.Xauthority."

[05:59] I am copying the VM from my ubuntu host to the windows host. I have also tried to copy the VM to a Macbook [05:59] Foogrc: What do you mean by "SSH to my desktop's hostname"? [05:59] Foogrc: are you using vm workstation 7 or higher? [05:59] Skywind: welcome [05:59] bullgard4: was that addressed to me? Look at the pastebin [06:00] neoinr: are you using IPv6?

[06:01] neoinr: nevermind. the ping wouldn't help with IPv6 because your ping is resolving an IPv4 address [06:01] emap: No snapshots. Not a feature I am interested in using [06:02] neoinr: Yes, it was meant to be addressed to you. -What do you mean by "robinserv.local"? [06:03] bullgard4: That is the hostname of the computer [06:03] emap: I am relatively new to ubuntu and like it very much, just not very fluent at this time [06:04] Foogrc: are you sure you copied all the files? also what was the previous host? [06:04] neoinr: This is a strange name of a computer. Probably the suffix ".local" is the culprit. [06:04] Foogrc:I am liking Natty [06:04] bullgard4: Its hostname is robinserv, its FQDN is robinserv.local [06:04] I require to use its FQDN to connect to it [06:05] emap: originally started VM on windows host, but have been using ubuntu for about 8 months [06:05] Foogrc: so you want to use it on linux right? [06:05] AndroUser2: I am worried that my VM workstation might not work [06:05] Hardware recognition is tops [06:06] emap: I am using it on ubuntu, I want to use the VM on windows host as well. My coworker needs the VM as well [06:06] Foogrc: but the problem is starting it using ubuntu right? [06:07] neoinr: hm, my ssh connection is refused as well when I use the FQDN according to /etc/hosts; I just use the hostname [06:07] What success with wine? [06:07] mouche: If i attempt to ping, ssh, or otherwise connect to RobinServ, it fails [06:07] emap: no the problem is the windows host. ubuntu works just fine. I was hoping that there was something simple I was overlooking when copying large files from ubuntu to windows [06:08] mouche: I can ping robinserv.local, and ssh into it, at times. I also have problems with basic connectivity. Pinging 192.168.1.137 from 192.168.1.42 was giving me DESTINATION_HOST_UNREACHABLE until I pinged 192.168.1.42 from 192.1681.137, then it started working [06:08] I am also very interested in Wireshark, but that will have to be another night [06:09] I am using ubuntu 10.4 and I looked up the bluetoothsetup guide but it saids "This document applies to Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy Heron) and earlier versions of Ubuntu that come with Bluez3. Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and later versions come with Bluez4, which is completely different. There currently exists no well-documented way to use Bluez4 to connect using non-GUI tools." [06:09] neoinr: do you have a router acting as a DHCP/DNS server? [06:09] Foogrc: re you sure you copied everything? (it may come handy checking files checksums) [06:09] neoinr: Yes, my router is a DHCP server, however I have the IP statically assigned [06:09] is it possible to put gnome3 on 11.04? is it worth the hassle? i just don't like unity [06:10] maybe i will like it in the future [06:10] neoinr: that sounds like a gateway problem [06:10] mouche: I will look at my configuration then [06:10] emap: I have never dealt with checksums before, is it relatively easy [06:10] mouche: I think I found it [06:10] neoinr: check that the default gateway for 192.168.1.42 [06:10] neoinr: "robinserv.local" is no FQDN. [06:10] Static host configuration within the DHCP [06:10] had the ip assigned to robinserv.local [06:11] night [06:11] Hai all,How can i play .dat formate files in ubuntu 10.04? [06:11] thanks for the help, i found the problem [06:11] neoinr: great [06:11] Foogrc: easiest way, go on your windows partition (or grab the files and put em in a usb stick if its not on same pc) open the terminal type md5sum give 1 space then drag and drop the file in the terminal, do it again with your ubuntu vmware stuff if checksums are the same then copy process was successful [06:11] Foogrc: if you actually have a specific error message that would give us further help [06:11] anyone can help me? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:12] aju: what do you mean by play? using a media player?

[06:22] correct [06:22] <[thor]> badbandit: 3D Cube and Rotate Cube are two different plugins [06:22] the laptop currently has no OS [06:22] <[thor]> badbandit: be sure both are enabled [06:23] CalcavoriX: may i ask you its hardware specs? [06:23] [thor]: I know, the problem is that now my windows/desktop is messed up [06:23] I cannot move windows [06:23] window decorator icons are missing [06:23] for minimize/max/close [06:24] <[thor]> badbandit: check the window decoration settings in compiz config for any interesting entries..

[06:26] linux distro? [06:26] CalcavoriX: what OS re you using right now? [06:27] im currently on a different pc [06:27] its windows XP [06:27] CalcavoriX: ok and you have the ubuntu iso on that pc? [06:27] but the laptop which im trying to install Ubuntu has no OS === yofel_ is now known as yofel [06:27] yes i do have the ISO on this one [06:28] wow [06:28] CalcavoriX: ok what id like to do first is verify that you have completely downloaded the iso with no errors, mind installing a program to do so? [06:28] it appears that installing compiz-manager really toasted me [06:28] as long as its free [06:28] i had to manually check stuff like "move windows" [06:29] <[thor]> badbandit: check at the bottom of ccsm, for "Window Rules" [06:29] CalcavoriX: it is, and you can actually use a microsoft program if you dont trust using third party ones [06:29] <[thor]> badbandit: there might be additional things gone wonky there. [06:29] CalcavoriX: http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/f/4/cf454ae0-a4bb-4123-8333-a1b6737712f7/windows-kb841290-x86-enu.exe [06:29] hi i'm using ubuntu 11.04 but it usually freeze [06:29] ok [06:29] and gwibe is very slow [06:30] any idea why it is opening windows top left where i cant click the top to move them? [06:30] it will extract the files? [06:31] hello! [06:31] CalcavoriX: that program has to be installed and used to verify iso's checksum, just to be sure it wasnt 99,9% downloaded, please to talk to me type my name before the message (like im doing) [06:31] <[thor]> badbandit: normally, holding alt and clicking anywhere in the window will move it [06:31] I obtain: "xinit: giving up; xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused; waiting for X server to shut down ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log. xinit: unexpected signal 2; xauth: error in locking authority file /home/detlef/.Xauthority." Why does the file authority file have to be _locked_? [06:32] <[thor]> badbandit: Window Rules also has an entry for non-movable windows.. be sure that is blank, and especially not set to "any" [06:33] ok [06:34] [thor]: another issue is the top window bar corners are rounded, but white behind so its actually a square corner [06:34] not transparent [06:34] any idea what would cause that? [06:34] <[thor]> badbandit: no clue for that one pal [06:34] looking for somebody to help me through compiling a kernel with CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT (it's been a while since I've done this) [06:35] <[thor]> badbandit: does swapping window decorations reveal anything? [06:35] how do i use this program? even the readme is complex [06:35] <[thor]> badbandit: similar transparency issues? does the original white shape return when the theme is changed back? [06:35] CalcavoriX: have you installed it? [06:35] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and yesterday a red LED was glowing in the Headphone port continuously and there was no volume in the speakers. Although the headphones are working fine. But today i am getting okish sound from my speakers but the LED glows whenever i play something. [06:35] hey there, quick question, im booting ubuntu 11.04 with grub2, i was wondering if there was some command i could send to the kernel on boot to disable extra graphical stuff? the graphical stuff doesnt seem to play nice with my pc so i want it to look like it did in ubuntu 10.10 [06:35] any help would be greatly appreciated [06:36] #emap yes [06:36] [thor]: how do i switch windows decorations? [06:36] hello, i dont know why firefox stops playing justin.tv video, as well chrome stops too, is a way to fix this issue? [06:36] [thor]: changing theme does nothing, does not change [06:36] CalcavoriX: ok, we'll get to it, first i'd like you to rename the ubuntu iso so it reads just ubuntu.iso and move it to C:\ [06:37] [thor]: wait, it does change sorry [06:37] <[thor]> badbandit: The --> Customize [06:37] [thor]: wait, still has square corner [06:37] <[thor]> theme* [06:37] SuspectZero: login with Ubuntu Classic in 11.04 for that 10.10 look [06:37] well i found a way to update the phpmyadmin from the ubuntu distro [06:38] emap: ok done [06:38] [thor]: http://i.imgur.com/PROwI.png [06:38] agrundner, is there any kernel command-line boot parameter that could do that? [06:38] What's the hottest/latest screen capture utility? [06:39] magn3ts: scrot [06:39] CalcavoriX: now you should go on start ---> run and type cmd.exe then go on ok, once you done it you should type fciv.exe ubuntu.iso [06:39] CalcavoriX: its supposed to give you (after a while) some letters and numbers that id like you to paste here [06:39] scottj, sorry, meant to specify video. [06:39] magn3ts: ffmpeg [06:39] <[thor]> badbandit: yeah there is something screwy going on with your transparency... [06:40] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and yesterday a red LED was glowing in the Headphone port continuously and there was no volume in the speakers. Although the headphones are working fine. But today i am getting okish sound from my speakers but the LED glows whenever i play something. [06:40] hi [06:40] SuspectZero: no. you need to select the "Ubuntu Classic" environment before you login. [06:40] scottj, ergh, finding the coordinates is a pain. [06:40] magn3ts: I think ubuntu omg website has covered several with nice UI's [06:40] parole is not able to stream video on line in xubuntu [06:40] emap: thanks for your help. [06:41] Foogrc: was it fixed? [06:41] emap: not sure but have a good place to start [06:41] Foogrc: which is? if you d like to share [06:41] SuspectZero: you'll see the option at the bottom of the GDM screen. [06:41] scottj, I thought they did too, I haven't been able to find it yet. [06:41] emap: it said that it was not recognised as an external or internal command [06:41] magn3ts: might have been webupd8 [06:42] scottj, lol searched that too, I just found it on omg :) [06:42] agrundner, that would be great, but i cant even see the GDM screen, i just see my mouse and a black screen [06:42] i hear the ubuntu login sound but thats it [06:42] emap: I did the checksum on my machine and will check the same on the portable hdd in the morning at work. I will also get a screen shot on the winblows error [06:42] CalcavoriX: did you install that program? [06:42] magn3ts: I like ffmpeg cause it can be scripted [06:42] Foogrc: ok, i hope im here tomorrow if you need further help from me [06:42] SuspectZero: oh, wow. that's a different issue then. [06:42] magn3ts: like you could easily dialog it to ask size or let you click to set coordinates [06:42] the standard 11.04 install disk doesn't support lvm [06:43] agrundner, how about this, is there a way to skip the "install ubuntu" screen using a boot parameter? [06:43] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and yesterday a red LED was glowing in the Headphone port continuously and there was no volume in the speakers. Although the headphones are working fine. But today i am getting okish sound from my speakers but the LED glows whenever i play something. [06:43] emap: no worries, I will keep plugging away if you are not here.

I like my other ideas more though :P [06:44] emap: im not sure since what you said isnt working [06:45] CalcavoriX: please follow these steps to make sure you installed it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 [06:45] CalcavoriX: just the one in the "installation" tab [06:45] SuspectZero: this is actually a pretty advanced topic. you'll need to look at your boot options in grub -- i.e. color depth, display resolution. best bet is to google for info related to your situation. [06:45] agrundner, kk will do, thanks for the help :) [06:46] I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and yesterday a red LED was glowing in the Headphone port continuously and there was no volume in the speakers. Although the headphones are working fine. But today i am getting okish sound from my speakers but the LED glows whenever i play something.

[07:16] tensorpudding, so, I could do a upgrade to lucid then to natty ? [07:17] CalcavoriX: yes [07:17] Cameron: no, because natty isn't LTS [07:17] sabgenton: http://scottlinux.com/2011/03/05/ubuntu-11-04-change-from-unity-to-classic-gnome/ [07:17] doesn't work with wine sortcuts ethier theres no catogorys for apps nomore [07:17] Cameron: you could upgrade from Lucid to 12.04 when it releases next year [07:17] Blue1: you click classic desktop I'm aware [07:18] tensorpudding, so, i'd have to do karmic -> lucid -> maverick -> natty [07:18] sabgenton: yes, that is the link on how to do it. [07:18] emap; i wont be able to continue this for much longer tonight its quite late for me [07:18] Cameron: yes, but that's really not a good idea [07:18] tensorpudding, why not ? [07:18] Blue1: It's easy eought to do with out a guide [07:18] CalcavoriX: same, leaving soon, but this should fix it any time, else the only solution is using a friend's pc to download it and make sure md5 is that one i gave you [07:19] Cameron: it would take a very long time and be costly in media [07:19] Cameron: it would be significantly simpler to do backups and reinstall [07:20] Cameron: the process of just one upgrade will take immensely longer than a reinstall [07:20] emap: ok. ill try again, and if it matches, burn it with the program u told me and i should be set? [07:20] hello I am using ubuntu 10.4 and I having trouble setting up the bluetooth. [07:21] tensorpudding, yeah, but the problem is that its my parent-in-law's pc, and they live a fair way from here.. I was hoping to do it all remotely [07:21] tensorpudding: MUCH easier -- I have backup/restore scripts on my site [07:21] CalcavoriX: should be set yes, else i suggest trying to put it in a usb stick [07:21] CalcavoriX: the process is described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [07:22] Cameron: i guess that is an issue [07:22] emap: i see that alot. but i dont have one sadly [07:22] did anyone else run into problems after installing (apt-get) byobu? [07:22] im getting segfaults [07:22] when trying -d -m [07:22] tensorpudding, I read that natty has a graphical upgrader on the live cd.. will that upgrade karmic ? [07:22] how to purge complete Gnome 3 ? [07:22] Cameron: :-( -- my folks are 50 miles away - but there are sometimes when you actually need to be physically present - trying to talk my 85 yo dad through booting up off a livecd and running e2fsck to fix a problem - it was easier for me to drive down there, spend 10 minutes fixing and return. [07:23] Cameron: like i said, you can't skip versions like that [07:23] Cameron: you can only upgrade from 10.10 [07:23] and upgrades are problematic [07:23] Blue1, yaeah, looks like I will have to make the trip [07:23] CalcavoriX: then cd method best work :P [07:23] tensorpudding, ok, thanks for your help [07:24] bluetooth help [07:24] Cameron: you might just upgrade to lucid [07:24] !bluetooth fredhami [07:24] Cameron: and stick with it [07:24] Cameron: it'll be supported for a good while yet [07:24] fredhami: lol it doesnt exist O.o [07:24] Cameron: good luck - but if I got my folks off of windows, it was worth it to me. I actually spend far less time doing system admin tasks with linux, then with win xp. [07:24] tensorpudding, what makes the LTS version special that allows it to upgrade ? surely it just runs apt to upgrade the debs ? [07:24] Cameron: I'd recommend 10.04 over 10.10 -- longer support. [07:24] emap: I trouble seting up bluetooth using ubunut 19.4 [07:25] fredhami: 19.4? [07:25] 10.4 [07:25] Cameron: the reason why it's special is that they put the effort into making it a supported process [07:25] fredhami: sry im not informed i only tried ubottu to give you a link to bluetooth troubleshooting [07:25] !bluetooth [07:25] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [07:25] here is lol [07:25] Cameron: they do certain things to guarantee that the upgrade path works [07:25] how can i fix on off-centered grub menu during boot?

I have some problems with ssh using an rsa key. can someone please look at http://pastebin.com/KF27XjxV and perhaps suggest what may be wrong? it's an output of ssh -vvv to the server.

[07:48] 11.5 [07:48] Ones that I have done [07:48] scott951, I do some android dev [07:48] not sure, but I believe synaptic can show it somehow. Perhaps somebody else knows more.

[07:49] scott951: #android-dev maybe more appropriate =) [07:49] Cameron: I would definitely just upgrade to lucid, using do-release-upgrade in a screen session, and stay there.

[07:58] no because i don't know if they old or the latest version [07:59] alexandrosGR123: ok - so try them first [08:01] How can i open one VLC and play different videos in the same one ! [08:01] it opens different windows for different videos [08:01] what exactly do you want? [08:01] something like picture-in-picture? [08:02] i don't think vlc supports that [08:02] see when i open different videos [08:02] how do i put a folder in my classpath variable in ubuntu [08:02] they are opened in different vlcs not in one [08:02] like if i play video a it will open one vlc [08:03] and if i click on video b it will open another vlc [08:03] instead of changing the current playing video to the clicked one [08:03] oh [08:04] this is because the vlc program opens a new instance, it doesn't check to see if there is one running already === KolakCC is now known as Matthew2802 [08:05] adwait_neo simply drag the video onto the vlc window you already have open. You may also be able to see if there is a command line option for this by going to the terminal under accessories and typing "man vlc" without the quotes followed by the enter key but this may be a little more advanced than you're looking for. You can also drag multiple files to vlc at once and it will create a playlist of them === Matthew2802 is now known as KolakCC [08:06] cant i make it simple by just clicking on the video and it will work for me? [08:07] i want to use 2 input methods and also switch between them from time to time? is this possible? using 11.04, but intend to switch to 10.04 soon [08:09] input methods or keyboards [08:09] how do i switch? [08:10] adwait_neo yes but it will open multiple windows. You can also select a number of files, right click, and choose open with vlc. This should make it open all in window but I'm not sure. [08:10] anybody here know how to make file-roller/archive manager let me set compression levels for 7z archives (or other types) or know of a good ubuntu program for doing this? [08:10] hmm thanks :) [08:11] tempuser262: did you try installing hte 7z package from the repo [08:11] i got rar working like that [08:12] Moral_, ok got that now how do I open it? [08:12] re: 7z yes I did but that didn't help unfortunately [08:12] With archive manager is there an option to create a new folder when extracting? [08:13] So it creates a folder with the same name as the zip with the contents of the zip inside [08:14] boomtopper: not sure if archive-manager supports this "out of the box" but a number of other archiving programs might. Try installing a few different ones and see if you can find one that can handle that [08:15] tempuser262: Thanks. Do you have any recommendations? [08:17] Hello.

What can I do in the recovery mode to fix it? [08:47] carpi: I wrote "roughly". [08:47] alvin_: Yes. [08:48] Isn't aptitude a ncurses based command line application? apt-get is just plain command line [08:48] ^carpi, ping [08:48] how? will there be any problem of bugs and missing functions? [08:49] how to get process name from process id [08:49] !upgrade | alvin_ [08:49] alvin_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:50] i want an automated upgrade this time, because lately i messed up my linux mint 10..

Please use 'sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade'. [08:56] yes, thanks. [08:56] any idea ? [08:56] alvin_: No. First update all relevant packages. [08:57] Jordan_U: I made a mistake. My apologies. -- Thank you for your hint. [08:57] bullgard4: You're welcome. [08:59] how can i know if my system is complete for updates and ready for upgrade? [09:02] alvin_, run the update manager.

I can see there's tons of stuff on Google about how to do this, but I have had no luck so far. I've tried putting the link to my script in /etc/rc.0 and /etc/rc.local [09:08] ewww: An improper resolv.conf may be the cause for a long ping delay, yes. [09:08] lloowen: what foes it for [09:09] Does It. Do [09:10] Silly phone irc client. [09:10] It's just a script that I usually have running in the background scanning folders. I want it to start automatically on boot.

You could also install thunar which comes with a bulk renaming tool [09:14] Sinister: private message me if you have other questions [09:14] how caN I burn img files? [09:14] thank you [09:14] nomed: why did you remove them [09:14] dr_Willis: I'm looking in rc.local What does "# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits." mean [09:14] ?

Thanks [09:16] use brasero [09:16] amarok dont run for somereason but it always had a addon that renamed from the title [09:16] guibou, vnc [09:16] Dattebayo: According to this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-238251.html you can rename the file from a .img to a .iso and k3b should be able to burn it to disc [09:17] Dattebayo: use brasero or xfburn [09:17] hi ,all. [09:17] @DJones i just saw that a second ago but that didnt work [09:18] Dattebayo: There's another suggestion on the forum to use ccd2iso program to convert it to an iso http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-837407.html [09:18] You can convert it to a real iso [09:20] HI,I want to know when the Ubuntu 11.10 is released?

[09:23] i would love to have ubuntu's grub menu restored with fedora menu item in it [09:24] can anybody help? [09:24] @sanhil_: maye you must make a dedicated grub partition [09:24] Dattebayo: I'm not sure what to suggest, I've only needed to do it one and didn't have a problem, from what I've read the ccd2iso package can't deal with multisession discs, maybe thats the problem with it === inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [09:25] forget it im going to sth about [09:25] tanx anyway [09:25] bullgard4: very confusing, i did not do anything on the network, and now reply returns back .099 something, it really confuses me [09:25] alvin_ df shows my fedora is main partion [09:25] bullgard4: will it matters also if lots of users accessing the server?

[09:26] sahil_, if the distributions use the same architecture, then you can get in your ubuntu with chroot [09:26] you must boot natty then use gparted then make an independent partition 1gb to be reliable [09:26] sahil_, there mount proc, sys and dev [09:27] ya both are of same architecture [09:27] there is a help in the ubuntu forums about it [09:27] i supposed to have a triple boot system: natty,fedora & win7 [09:28] but eneded with fedora and win7 [09:28] sahil_, and then run update-grub [09:28] did you install fedora using manual partition?

[09:31] sahil_, chroot intou the natty partition, as root, and there mount /dev /proc and /sys [09:31] sahil_, and then run grub-update [09:31] sahil_: The first thing you need to do, before chrooting, is to bind mount /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ inside the chroot.

[09:54] sahil_, I expected update-grub to find fedora's bootloader also [09:55] ferengee: update-grub doesn't install grub, grub-install does and /sys/ is required for os-prober to find fedora. [09:55] Hello all... I am having an issue with stale, invisible, top-level windows. [09:55] @feregee cant we add chain loader or somthing that suse uses [09:55] ?

[09:58] hey i have a huwaei mode, i can send sms using gammu, and access internet too but not at the same3 time, any help [09:58] ???? [09:58] okey i will giv it a shot... i'll be back [09:58] rileyp: Yeah, but with all other windows :(. [09:58] sahil_: You haven't actually installed grub yet. Run "grub-install /dev/sda" Then I would reboot and try "sudo update-grub" from within booted Ubuntu. If that still doesn't find fedora I'll help you write a manual entry for it. [09:58] The problem does go away if I log out and log in again :( [09:59] Jordan_U, we had a sys mounted in the chroot, so why didn't os-prober find the fedora [09:59] ferengee: I don't know. [09:59] hey i have a huwaei mode, i can send sms using gammu, and access internet too but not at the same3 time, any help [09:59] ????

Some applications which should have an icon in the notification area (xchat-gnome and also truecrypt) don't show it when logging in to gnome. The applications start fine, but for xchat-gnome the notification icon doesn't show at all, and for truecrypt it is shown not in the notification area, but as a separate icon next to the top bar [11:36] Thanks baijupattera [11:36] !hcl | Schoentoon [11:36] Schoentoon: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:36] it seems that for programs that start quickly before gnome-panel is fully loaded, their notification icons don't get loaded normally [11:37] when I close the apps first and then start them again when gnome is fully loaded, the icons get displayed in the notification area just fine [11:38] SmokeyD, u researched and find out the answer for ur post so what hahaha [11:38] baijupattera, not the answer, only what the problem is [11:39] if you have a solution, I would be very happy [11:39] SmokeyD, use unity and see the difference!!!!

[11:42] Technically gnome 3 is not suppoeted here; but it's slow here so maybe someone else can help. [11:42] baijupattera: Yeah, and I'm on Ubuntu :) [11:42] baijupattera, sorry, but that is not a solution to my situation. Using windows would then also be a valid solution. but not for me.

[11:45] The login screen actually changes custom.conf [11:45] So there's no difference [11:45] epsi: wow! i cant believe it [11:46] baijupattera, I am having a problem with a software package, you are suggesting using different software as a solution, but that won't solve the problem with the gnome panel. And no, I don't like unity (at least not yet), and also don't like gnome 3, so that is not a solution [11:46] rileyp: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ [11:46] epsi: u might slected on installation I think [11:46] baijupattera: I did that, and autologin works with Unity [11:47] I saved the custom.conf file made by the installer for reference [11:47] Then I install Gnome 3 from PPA, and autologin works no more [11:47] !autologin [11:47] trying to connect Dlink ADSL Router GLB 802C using USB cable ......but ifconfig shows only 2 interfaces eth0 & lo http://pastebin.com/ADQgksft [11:47] MaRk-I, thanks looking now [11:47] does anyone here have any know how on how to trouble shoot iphone comparability with ubuntu 11.04 (specifically pinguy os 11.04)?

[11:53] Hi [11:54] Sidewinder1: As I've heard, autologin works fine with Gnome 3 on Fedora [11:54] Dan-The-Man, pinguy is based on ubuntu i think but they have to answer for the problems on it [11:55] baijupattera, it is literally a remastered ubuntu install. Its ubuntu 11.04 with more apps installed by default thats all [11:55] Hello [11:55] epsi: I told gnome 3 is not compatible with natty,so it makes problems if u installed it.Thats all [11:55] P-RONALDO: you've just said that [11:56] hai [11:56] Dan-The-Man: still, we cannot help with something what other "remaster" breaks, we don't know what is changed [11:56] Dan-The-Man, yeah I know but they r responsible to answer for it [11:56] Is it possible, if I have more than 1 eth card in my machine, and connect from eth0 with ssh, than ssh to host on eth1? And how can I browse? Which connection is used? [11:56] Hi. What does buildd@allspice in version info mean? Anyone seen sth like that, is it normal? Just curious... [11:57] r4co0n_: it's the build user/host [11:57] Dan-The-Man, only the exact ubuntu people get answer from here [11:57] should i trust a build by buildd@allspice? [11:57] baijupattera, gnome3 is gtk3 and natty is gtk2 and if you install gnome3 unity won't work [11:57] r4co0n_: what repo did it come from ? === mactimes is now known as mactimes_afk [11:58] ikonia, probably debian.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/ubuntu/ [11:59] r4co0n_: no, I mean is it an official ubuntu repo [11:59] assuming that, it should by safe [11:59] sure [11:59] antivirtel, why did u make problems by these way [11:59] does anyone know how I can get java? [12:00] r4co0n_: yes, the gpg keys make it safe, the build host is nothing, [12:00] what does a normal /proc/version for ubuntu look like these days? [12:00] r4co0n_: are you not using ubuntu ? [12:00] dean: try install the "ubuntu restricted extras" from software center [12:00] if i down load GTA pc game from the internet site will it run on my pc [12:00] baijupattera I have 2 networks; the home networks is connected with an office comp, and I want to administrate in the office network too... [12:00] epsi- other than that, does gnome 3 work ? [12:01] baijupattera, ok :) I'm downloading it now [12:01] ikonia: I am right here, but i am considering if my /proc/version looks legit 8) [12:01] r4co0n_: are you using official ubuntu repos [12:01] so baijupattera I have two eth cards, and some cables, what will be happen, If I plug these networks in one comp? [12:01] ikonia: as i said, yes I am [12:01] antivirtel: depends on the network [12:01] antivirtel, I think the default will be the one u selected first [12:01] r4co0n_: then your /proc/version is legit [12:01] Is there a method to start unity on a VNC session that I have started on my laptop? I opened a vncserver and tried > unity &, but got a truck load of errors. \ [12:02] antivirtel, I think the default will be the one u connected first [12:02] ikonia and how? [12:02] ikonia: its the pc of a friend of mine, im not sure whether he has used illegit repos in the past, probably should check /var/log/apt/ [12:02] antivirtel: networks can be very complex things, [12:03] r4co0n_: just look at the sources.list see if contains any non-official repos [12:03] ikonia I know, if these were simple, I would have no questions :D [12:03] mac_wooster: dont know about vnc, but the command is "unity --replace" [12:03] antivirtel: then ask in ##networking [12:03] ikonia: It doesnt, but that doesnt mean they were never there [12:03] MaRK-I: Thanks. Will check this out . [12:03] ok ikonia, I try [12:04] ikonia, even logs could be spoofed, you know, the nsa... [12:04] mac_wooster: so maybe "unity --replace &" ? [12:04] r4co0n_: if you're that worried do a clean install [12:04] r4co0n_: you'll never know unless you verify each package thats currently installed and have a full install log [12:04] baijupattera, I've downloaded it, do I have to do anything else? lol [12:04] mac_wooster, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [12:05] dean: u installed it if u tried it from software center rather "download it" [12:05] dean: restart system and see [12:05] baijupattera, oops yeah I've installed it lol [12:07] dean: restart system and see [12:07] baijupattera, ok will do now :) thanks [12:07] unity --replace gave me the same errors.

Homewer, I think you can enable that very easily [12:36] ni1s: how about cd /usr/local/bin then sudo ln -s /usr/local/myprogram/program [12:37] blackbit: its not [12:37] can anyone help me get youtube videos to play?

[15:12] vibhav: its spam - ignore it [15:12] how can I clear the history of the recent documents in ubuntu 11.04? [15:12] Dr_Willis, thanks [15:12] Jin install bleachbit [15:12] vibhav, one sec [15:12] Dr_Willis, tq [15:12] Is there any other way? [15:13] just discovered i dont need paint to save screenshot! it does automatically! how cool! :) [15:13] because in the previous version, there is that "Place" --> Recent --> Clear [15:13] jin proberly is. ive seen it mentioned on soem blog sites like webupd8 and omgubuntu [15:13] actually freenode does require users of some ISPs to use SASL [15:13] also that zetgiest app may rember what youa re doing and can be embareseing at times. :) [15:14] but there is no universal sasl requirement afaik [15:14] so I install bleachbit from ubuntu software center? [15:14] i read a disclaimer of it [15:14] vibhav, http://tinypic.com/r/2nu7ltk/7 here you go! [15:14] coz_, thanks for your help, modprobe snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 made sound work again [15:15] alright [15:15] another question [15:16] how can I disable ubuntu one [15:16] because I'm not using it anyways [15:16] bob3291, you are in deep trouble... [15:16] and everytime I try to shut down my computer, it tells me that syncronization is in progress [15:16] vibhav, tell me about it [15:16] and that is weird because I'm not using ubuntu one [15:16] bob3291, lemme see [15:16] Jin: you could just disable it from your startup programs list [15:16] * bob3291 lets vibhav see :) [15:17] Ubuntu One is handy. :) I use it and dropbox. [15:17] Dr_Willis: I use just dropbox. :) [15:17] I need some fuse tool to merge them all together. into one large share. [15:17] I keep lots of tomboy notes on ubuntu one. [15:17] I have like 5 Gb of storage because I refered so many people [15:17] okayz Caboose885, thanks :-) [15:18] Jin: You are looking for ~/.recently-used and ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel (at least on Debian, not sure about Ubuntu) [15:18] like IRC faq answers. :) [15:18] bob3291, Sorry I cant find anything.... [15:18] * vibhav prays to God to help bob3291 [15:19] vibhav, thats coll... ill need to look myself [15:19] but thanks for your time! [15:19] Hi. I'm using irssi on ircd-hybrid. Even after I /oper, I can't see secret (+s) channels with /list. What might I be doing wrong? [15:19] Jin: glad to help [15:19] * bob3291 gives vibhav a cookie! [15:19] bob3291, No prob [15:19] bob3291, Yummy! [15:19] Is there an actively developed alternative to SWAT? [15:19] piboytravis: for starters asking in here. try the ircd-hybrid docs/forums [15:19] I'm guessing spammers are up again? [15:19] babilen, you mean --> /local/... [15:19] swat is part of the default samba packagtes. ive seen other web-admin tools like ebox and so forth [15:20] !info ebox [15:20] ebox (source: ebox): Zentyal - Core. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.16-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 666 kB, installed size 4040 kB [15:20] I think its ebox.. then theres webmin (not supported on ubuntu) [15:20] !webmin [15:20] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [15:20] Dr_Willis, ebox is now zentyal. but zentyal is kind of. meh. [15:20] Dr_Willis, was hoping for another/better alternative. [15:20] kde at one time had a nice samba front end. [15:20] I just do the samba by hand. :) simple home lan here. [15:21] i hate samba [15:21] :P [15:22] I have more issues with samba and each new release of windows.. ages ago it was much easier to get things going. - now im lucky my xp box cn see the win7 box.. [15:22] linux stuff seems to play nicer with the machines then win7 does. [15:22] true [15:23] configuring sharing between win 7 and xp is more painfull then xp-linux fe [15:24] Hi all [15:24] I still find annoying windows apps that cant use a 'share' as if it was a local directory.. very very annoying. [15:24] linux apps dont care. :) [15:24] Is there any way to view how executed what commands? [15:24] Konza, ps -ef [15:24] Konza: clarify what you mean. [15:24] Hi all, can I run gnome-shell in 11.04.. Unity is not running properly in my dual monitor setup [15:24] !gnome-shell [15:25] !gnome3 [15:25] 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. [15:25] Dr_Willis, i want to view a log of the user activities. If users are using sudo then also it should be able to clearly specify who executed the command [15:25] tbh its easier to set up simple ftp between different ditros than dealing with all smb issues [15:25] hmmm... how can I get unity running properly... I have the "start" button on the left of my left monitor and the unit bar on the left of my right monitor [15:26] sudo has logging features for that Konza if its enabled.. [15:26] check the sudo docs/homepage. I recall reading about it once [15:26] Anyone else experiencing random kernel {panic|oops|crash} during early boot with core2duo natty amd64? [15:27] Dr_Willis, thanks [15:28] in bleachbit [15:28] after choosing [15:28] then click delete? [15:29] i m using lubuntu10.10, is there something like GConfEditor like ubuntu has? thanks [15:29] gconfeditor would be for gnome apps.. if you installed gnome apps.. you could use gconf editor to tweak them. [15:30] lubuntu uses lxde - thats not gnome. :) [15:30] it could use gnome apps however if you wanted to. [15:30] Dr_Willis [15:30] I installed the app [15:30] jin i never noticed bleacbit being that hard to use.. scan, select. delete.. [15:30] but after choosing what clear, then click delete? will it still get the recent after deleting [15:30] how to use gnome apps? [15:31] tarikt: install them. run them. [15:31] sudo apt-get install gedit (for example) [15:32] Hi, I am looking for a quick way to search through a directory with a few thousand .html files for nested list elements... Is there some tool like grep that would be better? Using Ubuntu 10.04, but this needs to also work on CentOS. [15:32] grep, egrep, fgrep [15:32] *by "be better" I mean "work" :) [15:32] yeah but how do you find nested lists with grep? [15:33] i would have to google for that.. proberly some examples online somewhere [15:33] or you may have to go hardcore and use 'awk' [15:33] regular expressions are an amazing invention [15:34] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8' this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [15:34] Can somebody advice me on free VPN which I can use without any installation on ubuntu? [15:35] boomboorum: i googled and found one once.. ages ago.. Theres not that many free ones out.. and those that do exist are often rather slow/poor. [15:35] Could someone clear something up for me? If I download and install a .deb, it will not be automatically updated. If I add a software source, and install from software center, then it will stay updated. Am I right? [15:35] Cajun_Lan_Man: thats the basics of it - yes. [15:35] unless the deb is from the normal repos. it may get updated then [15:36] in which case - hts the same as installing it from the repos. :) [15:36] BBBThunda: You may want to look at awk/gawk [15:36] I could write a php script that loads the .html as an xml document and searches recursively for a list within a list... but that seems a bit more complex than necessary [15:36] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I know. But I cannot don't have access to my credit card, and not on my own computer. Need a free vpn for like 20 min [15:37] ok maybe now it's finally time for me to learn awk. I made it a long time without having to learn it. :) [15:37] Dr_Willis: and the only downside to adding a software source is potential security issues that come with unknown software? (i'm hoping things featured on OMG Ubuntu are checked before being posted) [15:37] tarikt: Thers no need to msg me. Whatys your actual question. [15:37] thanks Dr_Willis and hmuller [15:38] vibhav, i found a way to import them into thunderbird... its sorta saved! :) [15:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: installing anything could be an issue.. but ive rarely heard of security issuse with sites like omgubuntu or webupd8 [15:38] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the responses. Trying to tiptoe my way into Linux. [15:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: webupd8 has a collection of stuff from other locations. i use it at times. [15:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: As far as I know a deb program package which you have downloaded using Software Center, will not be automatically updated in the course of time. [15:38] Cajun_Lan_Man: its easy to go overboard with ppa's and extra repos also. :) [15:39] I had audio over HDMI working, but not under flash. I added "defaults.pcm.device 3" to my ~/.asound.rc, since it worked on a friend's similar setup (flash over hdmi) and now I don't get audio at all. Here's my asound.rc http://pastebin.com/Q6kfQxbp the commented out parts were what I used when I had HDMI working but not in flash. [15:39] bullgard4: it should be updated - as if it was installed from teh softeawer center.. [15:39] is there a program for gnome similar to kfind for kde ? [15:39] since the software center is basically downloading and running 'apt-get install foo.deb' in the background. :) [15:39] !info gfind [15:39] Package gfind does not exist in natty [15:39] :) [15:39] how can we enable the new launcher in ubuntu 11.04. The one showed in the web page? [15:40] aboudreault: You mean the left side panel? ie: Unity? [15:40] Dr_Willis, yes. Oh. it's called Unity. I remember to have seen an error message about that on the first startup [15:41] aboudreault: the message proberly said you need to get your 3d drivers going for unity to work. [15:41] or somthing similer to that. :) [15:41] but it should be ok now... I installed the guest additions of virtualbox. [15:41] has anyone else had this problem where ubuntu 11.04 crashes when runing xchat!? [15:41] happened twice! :( [15:41] virtualbox.. thats a whold differnt issue :) [15:41] Dr_Willis, where can I try to re-enable it? [15:41] just wondering [15:41] theres probery some guides on using unity in vbox. I dont use it in there. [15:42] Dr_Willis, ok thx [15:42] hey people [15:42] grettings from Spain [15:43] http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/04/30/how-to-run-unity-in-virtualbox/ [15:43] hello, latest LTS here. When I login remotely I see that 106 packages can be updated and 61 updates are security updates. However when I do apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade, all packages are reported to be the latest. What is wrong? [15:43] locate ? [15:44] MrKeuner: apt-get upgrade [15:44] IdleOne, apt-get upgrade also does not update any packages... 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [15:45] MrKeuner: this is on 10.04 server? [15:45] id say whatever is saying theres 106 to be updated.. is confused. :) [15:45] 10.04.2 workstation [15:45] MrKeuner: there is a bug with MOTD not being updated [15:45] thats part of some program/motd script ive seen.. [15:46] 'false alarm' :) [15:46] IdleOne, any workarounds? [15:46] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [15:46] can I install u11 on EEE Pc? [15:46] WiZ, that does not help [15:46] I saw someone else with the same problem, nothing to worry about, annoying but not an issue. Let me see if he is online [15:46] remlabm: What is "u11"? [15:47] ubuntu 11 [15:47] if I want to change someones name (not user name) and email from the command line are there specific commands to do that? [15:47] remlabm: There is no Ubuntu 11. There is Ubuntu 11.04. Yes, you can install it on EEE Pc. [15:48] downloaded the 32bit tried to install and i get "only detected an i686 cpu" [15:48] Hey guys, any of you have some experince useing 'gtkpod'? [15:48] MrKeuner: He doesn't appear to be online right now. I can ask him later if he found a fix. [15:48] remlabm: An i686 CPU is suitable for Ubuntu 11.04. [15:49] MrKeuner: but essentially MOTD is not being updated. [15:49] hi people! [15:49] IdleOne, all right, thank you [15:49] IdleOne, I'll try to find the bug report [15:49] how can i use xdg-open open like mms:// [15:50] remlabm you sure that's not the 64 bit iso? [15:50] weird getting this error then? exact error "This kernel requires a x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU" [15:50] have a asus 1001px, before update to 11.04, unity menu and top menu cannot show. [15:50] remlabm it seems you are trying to boot the 64 bit version on a 32 bit machine [15:50] remlabm: you try to install amd64 on a 32bit system [15:50] remlabm: or you are using vbox without vt-x [15:51] IdleOne, by the way this system is not server but was server last time I installed 10.04. I have formatted the / partition. using the same /home I used with the server [15:51] damn labeled my usbs wrong [15:51] !language | remlabm [15:51] remlabm: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. === powerj is now known as powerje [15:52] MrKeuner: I am not sure if it affects server only or both server and desktop but my friend had the exact same issue. [15:52] I have a Macbook and whenever i play some audio, one red LED is glowing in my headphone port. I am also getting a very poor quality of audio. Could someone help me pls??? [15:52] MrKeuner: might want to ask in #ubuntu-server if anybody has seen this [15:52] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8' this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [15:53] I figured my own answar out, didn't google the right thing ;) thanks [15:54] IdleOne, I was looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/659738... And I found this in /etc/motd.tail: 106 packages can be updated. 61 updates are security updates.... :) Somehow it was hardcoded in motd... [15:54] Ubuntu bug 659738 in sysvinit (Ubuntu Lucid) "Duplicate welcome message in motd" [Medium,Triaged] [15:55] IdleOne, modifying /etc/motd.tail seems to work for now.

Maybe i can kill the oldest dropbear deamon [16:02] cool so the ubuntu mbr includes windows automatically. in all my reading I never ran across that. coo coo [16:03] Dr_Willis: they have such big span between the timestamp.. 07:51 -> 16:00 [16:03] Elorion: grub2 has a os-prober tool that scans the system for other os's :) and adds the right entry.

[16:05] Elorion: if you use the traditional means of partitioning; GPT allows you to have something like 128 or so [16:05] okay gotcha [16:06] Elorion: Windows requires installing on primary, ubuntu can be installed on logical [16:06] I think win7 dosent need to be on primary any more. [16:07] Elorion: GPT is not really used afaik, OS X and Windows 7 support GPT natively on EFI firmware though [16:07] Has anybody else found installing with the Alternate CD takes *forever*? I've tried with USB and CD and it takes an easy 5 minutes for some steps, such as detecting hardware, etc. [16:07] Hello. Got a printer problem. Can't resolve dependencies installing latest hplip in Navigatrix (Based on Ubuntu 10.04) [16:08] thanks tensorpudding [16:08] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8' this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [16:08] OwenLA7QZ: when in doubt ' sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and try installing problem package again. [16:08] GPT will probably catch on when people run into the 2.19 TB limit for partition sizes [16:09] Hmm.. I thought i got a 3TB parttion on my usb :) [16:10] Dr_Willis - Already tried that. Same result [16:12] I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Macbook and since a few days I am getting very low sound from the speakers as well a red LED is glowing in the Headphone jack. The sound is perfect if i connect my headphones but if i use the speakers there is no output [16:12] Can't find libcups2-dev, libcupsimage2-dev, libjpeg62-dev [16:12] how can i directly boot into my system, without the login manager?

[16:13] OwenLA7QZ: for -dev packages you need the src repos enabled i thoght. but why would a driver need the -dev unless you are compiling it..

[16:42] USB at the moment. WIll put it on network later [16:42] The hplip version in 10.04 is too old for the printer. [16:42] is there a better way to restore deleted files (rm -f *) than using foremost? Foremost restored a good number of the deleted files, but it didn't restore directory structure or original file names. [16:42] WHen installing new hplip, it fails to find all the dependencies [16:42] OwenLA7QZ: aha.. that was my suggestion, that you should try it.

[16:45] Yea no i did [16:45] WiZ yes i'm chrooted into my disk from a live cd [16:45] jstoone - What I pasted above is one of the error messages. [16:45] I did run the grub update as well. [16:45] Can some one assist with RSA key logins? I have created a RSA key on windows using puttyGen and need to get it to my Ubuntu server now, what is the best method and where do I place it? [16:45] if that doesn't work try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:46] WiZ: yes that was the first thing that I tried [16:46] WiZ was that for me? I already did that [16:46] WiZ: I also installed a secondary kernel and tried that and I get the same thing [16:46] arosen1 - are you able to boot into any kernel at all from the grub screen? [16:46] OwenLA7QZ: have you tried to do - sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 - ? without the '-dev' part [16:47] WiZ: I've tried all of them and they all seem to yield this.

Basically I'd like to make it so that when a user SSH's onto a server they get a custom shell that requires them to type in a descrition of the work they're about to do before they get a bash prompt. Also somehow the ssh session should get a unique ID that would be used in the logs for each command issued. [16:55] CharlieSu, Give each of them a unique user on the target server. Then they will have unique ID's that would be used in the logs. There is a file that contains the greeting message. Maybe you can put bash commands in there and write your own custom script that gets description of their work [16:55] WiZ: rebooting again [16:55] BluesKaj: i may be missing medibuntu [16:55] JSTOONE - Sorry, phone call tried install without - dev. THat went fine, but didn't change anything on the hplip install [16:55] good luck arosen1 [16:56] CharlieSu, As a work around, write a shell script (python might be easier) that asks them what they're doing and tell them to run it for each task [16:56] BluesKaj: it wasn't mentioned in the ubuntu guide i'm following [16:56] !realplayer [16:56] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [16:56] restricted formats [16:57] edbian: yeah not a bad idea.. i'd rather have the username plus a uniq ssh session id though.

[17:15] hardware clock Jmoey [17:15] Dr_Willis;ok thanks [17:15] @vooze: what were you trying to add. were you adding custom launchers [17:16] @tyreza: you could manually change the BIOS settings to match the clock [17:16] Hello [17:16] i just find a command [17:16] hwclock [17:16] Jmoey: i wanted to use a dock, so i deleted the panel, when decided i did not want that anyway :) so i [17:16] anyone know about that ? [17:17] Jmoey: so i'm restoring it all.. and its 99% done, just missing that one part :( [17:17] hello everyone, i was wondering if there was any way to prevent the execution/opening of a specific file extension on ubuntu under a limited user account, is there any? [17:17] @vooze: do you mean the 'Applications places sysem' menu [17:17] I have a question about lp, whats the difference between short-edge and long-edge in two-side print, does it affect orientation of pages or what? [17:17] @tyreza: press del or f2 or whatever it says when your pc boots up and just change the time there [17:18] Jmoey: not sure.. its when you like (left click on, lets say firefox) you can choose "add to panel", to get a small shortcut [17:18] i don't want to reboot my pc Jmoey [17:18] hello, I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I have this ugly problem. My NVIDIA driver says it's activated but not in use, how do I use it? The problem is that when I power the PC on I get this ugly white screen until my logon screen shows up :( [17:18] i can't reboot my machine just setting my clock [17:18] vooze, you could try going into the apps menu, adding the program to the desktop and then dragging the desktop icon onto the panel [17:19] BluesKaj: medibuntu repo is there, but still the same error, i think the irish repo is down because even with updates i'm getting 'check your internet conneciton' [17:19] hello, how can i redirect the traffic coming from port x to port y in ubuntu? [17:19] tyreza, you'll probably need to [17:19] gabe_: plymouth is fighting with the nvidia driver. personally. i just disable plymouth. [17:19] hello everyone, i was wondering if there was any way to prevent the execution/opening of a specific file extension on ubuntu under a limited user account, is there any? [17:19] gabe_: as for the activated but not in use.. not sure on that one [17:20] no there should an other solution Jmoey [17:20] emap: proberly not. they could always drag/drop it onto some app and load it that way [17:20] Jmoey: well yes it works, but i still need the options to use "add to panel" still dont work [17:20] or there's the hwclock command:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/hwclock.8.html [17:20] Dr_Willis: I'm sorry but what is plymouth? [17:20] gabe_: the fancy eyecandy that does the Ubuntu ...... animation [17:20] dusf, then in your package manager change your sources server option to UK /Main or somewhere else and try [17:20] Dr_Willis: uh uh i gotta find another way lol , thank you very much for your answer :) [17:21] 'facy useless, breaks things' eyecandy. :) [17:21] plymouth is the splash screen when ubuntu boots up [17:21] have you tried installing startup manager [17:21] BluesKaj: change every 'ie' to 'uk' (or 'gb') in sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list? [17:21] it lets you adjust plymouth's resolution [17:21] oh I see... well thanks for the info. Do you think it'll hurt removing the drivers then? [17:22] tyreza, try this command:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/hwclock.8.html [17:22] whois emrah_ [17:22] hello how come whenver my terminal fills with text i cant scroll bacthrough it?? [17:22] You can disable plymouth by editing the /etc/default/grub and change the 'quiet splash' line to be '' or 'noquiet nosplash' (i recall) [17:22] tyreza: its hwclock --set [17:22] dusf, no , leave the source.list alone , the package manger settings will configure the sources.list according to the server you choose in the package manager [17:22] hi is there anything I can do with adobe shockwave on ubuntu desktop? [17:23] hello ubuntu guys [17:23] tryreza: hwclock --set --date="9/22/96 16:45:05" [17:23] if i do hwclock --set actual time the is a difference between my system clock and hardware clock Jmoey [17:23] hi there [17:24] Dr_Willis: Would it be this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [17:24] do you have daylight savings on tyreza [17:24] i need the same time on both Jmoey [17:24] "noquiet nosplash" [17:24] BluesKaj: so it can just be done through synaptic - settings - repositories - 'download from:' - right? [17:24] while installing ubuntu it seems to be stuck while creating ext4 file system for /home partition #3... been trying for about an hour now [17:25] system monitor shows no activity [17:25] gabe_: add in the no's correct [17:25] tyreza, which clock is it that isn't right? the system one or the hardware one [17:26] system clock is the right one [17:26] got it... let me try that :) [17:26] thanks a lot :) [17:26] system clock is the right one Jmoey [17:26] dusf, exactly [17:26] hello how come whenver my terminal screen fills with texti cant scroll back through it? as if though the old text disappears [17:26] tyreza - the easiest thing is just to reboot and change the time in the bios. is there a certain reason why you can't reboot [17:27] BluesKaj: ty for your help, i'm told the ubuntu irish repo works sometimes during the day and this problem has been going on for weeks [17:27] hey [17:27] i m sorry to say [17:27] does netbook remix have its own channel? [17:27] i can't reboot just setting the time Jmoey [17:28] dusf, thn stick with the main server, it's pretty close located in EnglandI believe. [17:28] does netbook remix still exist? [17:28] yeah [17:28] BluesKaj: would have thought main was usa [17:28] MonkeyDust: as of 11.04 - no [17:28] 10.4 [17:28] leaders of the free world and all that :) [17:28] hey. im using an iptables rule and its not working, iptable spits it out again.

I have a netbook hooked up to a monitor as a little media center [17:29] ;) [17:29] archtang1nt: try Lubuntu [17:30] archtang1nt: full desktop - lubuntu. or use minimal and install what you want [17:30] tyreza: "hwclock --systohc" will set the system clock to the hardware clock." source:http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/netbook_new/x400.htm [17:30] too big and has no options to minimize [17:30] archtang1nt: thats vague...

[17:30] I have4gb to install on [17:30] archtang1nt: puppy is based on ubuntu [17:30] by the time you install all the needed stuff to run boxee - it will be proberly as big as lubuntu [17:30] I've chrooted back into the machine using a live cd [17:31] Puppy has a VARIANT that can use ubuntu packages.. [17:31] thats not quiet the same thing [17:31] dusf, sometimes I switch to the main server , when the server for Canada gets slow...not often but it happens [17:31] hello, how can i redirect the traffic coming from port x to port y in ubuntu? [17:31] BluesKaj: cool coolm good to know [17:31] MonkeyDust, compared to e.g. mint, puppy is extremely different from Ubuntu. Different package manager, none of the Ubuntu tools, different DE, different branding [17:32] Geting Boxee going on TinyCoreLinux would be a neat trick also. [17:32] the minimal seems to not want to use the usb drive I install every other distro off of [17:32] I DO recall boxee having some sort of 'standalone' variant that put allit needed in /opt/ (i think) [17:32] is tinycore debian based too? [17:32] if i do hwclock --show -0.546770 seconds of difference comparing my sysclock and hwclock [17:32] tyreza: this should work: hwclock--systohc [17:32] tinycore is its own design [17:33] --systohc [17:33] how to set 11.04 to its defaults?

[19:35] netsurf3: go to the control center under the power button (to right corner), select "user and groups" [19:35] qui peut me renseigner merci [19:35] netech: In other words, have you created a new user and is this new user the one that is unable to access cdroms? [19:35] !fr | jeand_ [19:35] jeand_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [19:36] netsurf3: add your user to group storage and mount -o remount,rw,group=storage [19:36] then select "advanced" and make suer that you have access there [19:36] netsurf3: add the device to the end of that sorry (/dev/cdrom or /dev/sr0 most likely) [19:37] Woozie404: you should be able to use any of the ext filesystems [19:37] prezes: One way is to place "linux single" at the end of the kernel line at the grub boot prompt. [19:37] just started one on my other system, its dling at 389kbs, where as the system im on is peaking at 5-8kbs, ive even tweaked the settings === Machtin_ is now known as Machtin [19:37] prezes: or user the recovery mode [19:38] hardy is deprecated why's there a kernel upgrade available? due to the kernel network DoS-flaw? [19:38] gerrin: give deluge a try (avail in the software center) === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [19:38] that will tell you if it is your maching or transmission its self [19:38] cellthunder there is no storage group [19:38] ok thanks [19:38] I read somewhere so I need remove the slash word from grub [19:38] muahahaha! got the grub2 boot menu working! [19:38] silly thing [19:38] netsurf3: then make one or use whatever group your user is a member of...i just used that as an example (also happens to be my setup) [19:38] FANUM, let me refrase pls. what kind of filesystem do I need for RAID0 (RAID 10) [19:39] Woozie404: same answer any [19:39] How do I enter single user mode on the ubuntu 11 distro? [19:39] syntaxe: add 1 to the end of the kernel line in grub [19:40] grub isnt showing at startup? [19:40] Woozie404: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [19:40] syntaxe, hold shift [19:40] here is fdisk -l outpot === Wolf is now known as Guest41296 [19:40] celthunder, i'm wondering if k3b messed up the configuration it perfomed an auto config which seemed to mess with some things. Does udev still handle automatic mounting of media? [19:40] here is fdisk -l output, http://dpaste.com/545679/ [19:40] syntaxe, hold shift during boot to make the grub menu appear [19:40] how partition my usb disk [19:41] acicula: thanks [19:41] netsurf3: depends on your udev rules, i use udisks for most automounting but you might have udev rules [19:41] saju_m: cfdisk /dev/ [19:42] saju_m: or fdisk /dev/ [19:42] FANUM: thank you, but one more question. Can I combine two disks with data on them into RAID0 ? [19:42] saju_m: use the root device though not a partition on it (aka /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1) [19:43] Woozie404: not likely [19:43] Woozie404: I dont think so, but I may be wrong. [19:43] Its transmission, cause deluge is running killer :D, thanks [19:43] I would not try myself even if it is technically possible, because it would be potentially dangerous [19:43] celthunder, i have just redone my pc to use lts 10.04 do you know what the default is? [19:44] en francais svplait [19:44] no prob. Deluge takes more resources, but has so many more features its worth it [19:44] the thing is that I have 4x2TB drives from which i want to create RAID10. 3 drives are blank, and one has data on it. is it still possible? [19:44] once every couple of days my entire computer freezes (what's being displayed on the screen remains displayed, but i can't move mouse or press keys and if i'm playing music, it keeps on repeating the last heard 5 seconds).. can someone help me diagnose the issue? what component appears to be broken? i've had this issue with 10.04 and 11.04 [19:44] Hi all, I need help to create debian package. I have some quick question. May someone redirect me to the good channel ? Thanks [19:44] I have a machine with an NVidida graphics card and I couldn't find a way to rotate a monitor through their tool. I was able to use the command "xrandr —orientation left" to do the trick. However, is there somewhere I can put this command in a script so that when gdm or X starts, it will be called? [19:45] inktri: gnome or kde? [19:45] inktri, out of curiosity do you have high load on your hard drives at the time? [19:45] netsurf3: no...check /etc/udev/rules.d or whatever [19:45] ikus060: #ubuntu-motu [19:45] Woozie404: Yes, that should be possible. I would create the raid array with 3 disks, copy the data from the 4th and add it to the array after, just to be safe [19:45] linuxrealm: gnome [19:45] inktri - run terminal and enter ' top', maybe you will see what is pegging at 100% or whatever is running [19:45] netsurf3: i dont think so, i have a lot of RAM so i never use the swap disk [19:45] kaje: .xinitrc [19:45] @bullgard4 thanks [19:45] Woozie404: check out madam mdadm [19:46] inktri: sometimes you have to reload your desktop to defaults, and start from scratch. not a big deal, but making sure you remove the right .hidden files is crucial [19:46] jeand_: /join #ubuntu-fr [19:46] inktri, hmm can you ssh in it at all? [19:46] looks and runs just like Utorrent for windows lol [19:46] #ubuntu.fr [19:46] Woozie404: sorry just mdadm [19:46] I'm doing a bit of a delicate shuffle of disks and installations, with insufficient backups. Does anyone know for a fact (preferably with a mailing list link or similar) that installing to a pre-existing partition with the format button unchecked will not in fact delete /home? [19:46] inktri: it appears some setting is janked [19:46] FANUM: ok, thank you man. I will give it a try [19:46] when my computer freezes, i can't press any keys, can't move the cursor or anything [19:46] celthunder, gdm ignores .xinitrc [19:46] but what's being displayed remains displayed [19:46] (11.04) [19:46] celthunder: I don't see that in my home directory, does that live somewhere else? [19:46] inktri: no matter, research removing the .hidden files to reset gnome desktop [19:46] inktri: what kernel version are you using that's an issue with usb hard drives plugged in on my 2.6.38 or i believe...not sure if it's fixed in .39 havn't up'd yet [19:47] Woozie404: no prob, DM me if im not answering if you have any other questions, ill be back later [19:47] kaje: .xinitrc goes in your home dir..depending on your login manager though may not actually use it...slim does though [19:47] ty :D [19:47] inktri: i know your frustrated, but do look into it. check out help ubuntu.com in your url, and type in search - reload gnome, or reset desktop [19:47] kaje: .xinitrc should exist either way though if you ever use startx to load x [19:47] a computer getting stuck in a sound loop, and non-responsive sounds more like a hardware problem to me [19:48] run a memtest [19:48] Man the alternate installer is slow... === derp is now known as derp|busy [19:48] linuxrealm: i recently installed a fresh version of ubuntu (11.04) and that issue keeps on cropping up. will reloading/resetting still help? [19:48] inktri: who knows what you have done in the meantime... [19:48] is it perhaps a hardware problem? [19:48] inktri: what's the problem again? (joined after your description) [19:48] inktri, run a memtest [19:48] once every couple of days my entire computer freezes (what's being displayed on the screen remains displayed, but i can't move mouse or press keys and if i'm playing music, it keeps on repeating the last heard 5 seconds).. can someone help me diagnose the issue? what component appears to be broken? i've had this issue with 10.04 and 11.04 [19:48] inktri: of course, it could be anything and everything [19:48] inktri: what video chipset? [19:48] inktri: yah, we got that, please do not repost. [19:49] linuxrealm: I asked him to [19:49] linuxrealm: he was asked to [19:49] way to pay attention :p [19:49] inktri, have you got an nvidia card? [19:49] inktri: have you tried booting in recovery mode? [19:49] butter_fs: scroll up next time, or control -f search his name [19:49] celthunder: ditto [19:49] linuxrealm: wow, you did it again. [19:49] linuxrealm: as I told him, I wasn't in the channel [19:49] butter_fs: focus on the issue, not me [19:49] i'm using an 8600 gts [19:50] inktri: does it do this without X loaded? [19:50] inktri: it's possible that the video just mucked up, which would look a lot like a hard crash [19:50] not with sound repeating [19:50] that's a hardware lock [19:50] inktri: next time it does it, check if the syslock or numlock lights turn on and off [19:50] butter_fs they definitely dont [19:50] butter_fs: ? lol what [19:50] numlock? [19:50] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8', this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [19:51] Vonhinten: butter_fs like i said..that's a problem in 2.6.38 kernel as well i believe... [19:51] inktri: are you familiar with the sysrq keystrokes? [19:51] butter_fs nope [19:51] linuxrealm: yes. The lights on a keyboard are managed by the kernel [19:51] so does the "repeating sound" issue give a clue as to what the problem is? [19:51] inktri: the next time it does it, try rebooting by holding down alt and the sysrq key, and then hit these letters in turn: r, e, i, s, u, b [19:51] (might want to write that down :p) [19:51] butter_fs: i cant imagine whatelse would... [19:52] inktri: if that works, that narrows things down [19:52] butter_fs ok will do [19:52] linuxrealm: it's a common trick to tell how locked up a machine actually is [19:52] i'll try a new graphics card too [19:52] butter_fs: common? [19:52] run the memtest [19:52] linuxrealm: yes [19:52] vonhinten: ok i'll run a memtest right now [19:52] thanks guys for the all the help [19:53] inktri: do you have a second machine available? [19:53] butter_fs yeah i do [19:53] butter_fs: your going to have him hit a bunch of hotkeys for sysrq without checking log entries first? [19:53] go for it... [19:53] i have also blogged it [19:53] I'm in recovery mode after an attempt to install the ppa gnome3. I get the login screen but after typing the password it just goes to lunch. Several error messages I received make me believe gnome-shell was not installed. how do I install the .deb file I got from gnome? [19:53] I have created a user foo with password foo in my mysql server (db mysql) now when I try to connect to it in shell with "mysql -u foo -p " I can't. What's wrong? [19:53] http://www.thepirado.com/2011/05/no-sound-out-of-macbook-speakers-red.html [19:53] linuxrealm: your reading comprehension fails you [19:53] if you could ignore me, that'd be appreciated [19:53] zul what error is it giving you? [19:53] zul_: when you made a user did you add @'localhost' to it [19:54] inktri: if so, you can try pinging the locked up machine, that'll again give a slightly different view on how locked up the machine is [19:54] adwait_neo, cool :) hello in bangalore [19:54] jodie: get a shell with something like ctrl+alt+1 and then sudo dpkg -i *.deb [19:54] i have not received any upgrades since i upgraded to natty from maverick..is it normal? [19:55] credit goes to you :) bangalore saying hello to you :D [19:55] freeburn, how many days ago did you updrade? [19:55] you mind disclosing your place? [19:55] ok [19:55] sorry [19:55] inktri: Had similar issue w/new 11.04 install. Try to alt+tab through the open applications to shut them down. Resolved issue by replacing 173 (recommended) driver with 185 driver. [19:55] how do i set the governor from commandline? [19:55] i upgraded 30th april [19:56] that means over three weeks [19:56] adwait_neo, tallahassee, FL, US [19:56] freeburn, yeah you probably should have received at least one update. Are you familiar with checking for updates from command line? [19:56] also when i do apt-get update i get a badsig warning [19:56] jodie, you could try ppa-purge to remove the gnome3 ppa and revert back to the default [19:56] someone at the forum said its not a showstopper.... [19:57] cool :) well its late here i gtg have my exam tomorrow [19:57] catch you later [19:57] bye and thanks again :) [19:57] GL, bye [19:57] soapie: dpkg cool thanks [19:57] i've done some update-grub, w/o result trying to add a new partition to the grub menu, [19:57] freeburn, thats your problem. I would follow a tutorial like the following: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-the-ubuntu-gpg-error-badsig.html [19:57] acicula: thought about it but figued that would be the last resort.. Thanks for getting back :) === idiot is now known as Guest40049 [19:58] jodie, id guess gnome-shell and unity are incompatible, purge one or the other? [19:58] See if that fixes it. [19:58] zul_: what'd you use to create the user [19:59] quit [19:59] logout [19:59] braiam, can you explain your question a bit more? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [20:01] guys, i cant find the package that lets me manage my governor [20:01] it doesnt seem to be cpufrequtils [20:01] hey guys i accidentally delete the content of some important txt file with command: > example.txt [20:01] butter_fs: i understand what lights on the keybrd to look for, yes its common, however, he spoke of video looping [20:01] is is possible somehow to restore the information ? [20:01] audio [20:01] Class: time to restore your backup [20:01] yes [20:01] xD [20:02] llutz, i do not have any [20:02] most likely he has failing hardware, or his drivers are janked [20:02] Class, check out this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [20:02] possibly even the wrong drivers, hard to do, but who knows [20:02] thats why i said logs [20:02] you can stop talking to me any time [20:02] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8', this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [20:03] Class: important data without a backup... time to think about that. no chance to get your data back [20:03] I tried to install a .deb that had unmet dependencies. Now how do I tell apt-get to "forget" I tried to install it? [20:03] llutz, actually i did > .ssh/id_rsa instead of id.rsa.pub [20:03] now i lost connection to all machines [20:03] KaiForce, why would you want it to "forget"? [20:03] Class: ya, it's toast [20:03] ok, I copy my / partition to another one in the same disk, then run update-grub2, and it inform that the /dev/sda1 (the new partition is added) but when i restart i can't see the entry [20:03] fml === NG_ is now known as ng_ [20:04] Class: there are plenty of forensic options, but none of them are enduser friendly [20:04] incidently, blowing away the .pub file would be about as fatal for further use :p [20:04] KaiForce: Can you just not remove it? [20:04] hi! I have installed ubuntu 11.04 server, if I use the ubuntu software center to install an app it works using my administrative password, when I give in the same password in synaptic it says the password is incorrect, how can this be? [20:04] j3roth when I try to install other packages, it is referencing the one that failed and saying it has unmet dependencies. remove eh? (slinks away) [20:04] Class: you can generate a new key easily enough, and then copy the .pub file whereever you needed it [20:04] Class: ssh-keygen will do that [20:04] Class: no backup of personal-keys?? you reall should think about some things... create a new key [20:04] class: your best forensic option would be a program called "photorec" its available through installing "testdisk" [20:05] FANUM, i do not need to be enduser friendly maybe coz i ain't enduser [20:05] Class: sure you are [20:05] arand, j3roth thanks! [20:05] FANUM: that won't help if you replace content of a file and don't delete it [20:05] even linus is an end user to most of the system [20:05] butter_fs, the problem is that i cant login [20:05] there is disabled [20:05] password autentication [20:05] through ssh [20:06] Class: you're remote to the box presumably? [20:06] Class: this isn't an online vps is it? [20:06] only way to connect to the box is the public key [20:06] (if so, they usually have a remote console as well which doesn't count as "remote" as far as ssh is concerned) [20:06] Class: your best bet would be to run photorec on an image of the drive, have it look only for txts then grep within those files for a txt string you remember from the doc to give you an idea which file it is [20:06] butter_fs, some of them are web servers some of them mail servers etc i lost connection [20:06] all of them [20:07] FANUM: unless he's using a copy-on-write filesystem of some description, that almost certainly won't help :( [20:07] so i must wait to another way [20:07] to connect the servers via console [20:07] :-D [20:07] Is there an update or better version of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto [20:08] i am using ubuntu 10 [20:08] KaiForce: theres plenty of ways to setup postfix...depending on your deployment any number of ways may be better/worse [20:08] butter_fs: it is a long shot, but i could def work. [20:08] hi! I have installed ubuntu 11.04 server, if I use the ubuntu software center to install an app it works using my administrative password, when I give in the same password in synaptic it says the password is incorrect, how can this be? [20:08] any ideas? [20:08] unlikely, but possible [20:08] after using for some time the display is going [20:08] FANUM: no it won't [20:08] with some flicks on my monitor [20:08] butter_fs, i thought you meant something diff in end-user [20:09] KaiForce: this seems at least a more recent document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto [20:09] which log to check to find whts going on [20:09] celthunder: ok thanks [20:09] i have to reboot my system every after 10mns [20:09] oCean: thank you I will take a look [20:09] Class: you don't have backups of your keys: you've already demonstrated that you're ubuntuforums-grade end-user :) [20:09] medionpal, try changing your password to something else to update your keys. Also change your root password. Then try again. [20:09] butter_fs, :) [20:09] RAMLOCK: graphics card overheating [20:10] butter_fs: nice description lol though give him credit for disabling pass auth in the first place [20:10] i dont have separate graphics card [20:10] its on board [20:10] though my system is very old [20:10] Class: kvm/vps console client ? [20:10] Although disabling password auth is pointless if you cant keep the ssh keys around haha [20:10] 2004 desktop [20:10] butter_fs: considers it. it depends on what you do ;) [20:10] celthunder: having no key-backup when using key-auth-only is not very clever, so -10 [20:11] celthunder, nah unfortunately [20:11] RAMLOCK, does it do it with another monitor? do you have another one to try? [20:11] Hello, I've installed ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and from some reason the iphone internet tethering is not working? (it worked just fine on the previous version 10.10) ? [20:11] nope i dnt have another monitor :( [20:11] previously i had RAM 512 [20:11] llutz: yeah i backup my keys in like 30 different places ...if i lose my key i'm screwed on about 90 different servers [20:11] now i upgraded it to 1.5MB [20:12] with an expectation that it will work now [20:12] but the problem persist [20:12] my gui keeps crashing after being in hibernate (on a laptop) when a flash video was playing in firefox. only the mouse pointer still moves. sound keeps coming in, and you can still pull up a f1-f6 terminal. is there anything i should try from the terminal? should i restart x? is that what crashed? any ideas welcomome. thankyou [20:12] RAMLOCK: what's the refresh rate === ng_ is now known as NG_ [20:12] celthunder, what do you use to backup keys [20:12] ? [20:13] If I `dd if=/path/to/ubuntu-11.04.iso of=/dev/flash/drive', can I use that flash drive as the disk? [20:13] can u direct me how to get the refresh rate? [20:13] celthunder I used this command: insert into user (Host, User, Password) values ('localhost', 'foo','foo'); [20:13] improveupon: the video driver in xorg, yeah. It crashes every time you hibernate with a flash video playing? [20:13] i have never though i would lost my keys. [20:13] SgrA: if its not a hybrid.iso, you can't (default ubuntu-iso aren't hybrid) [20:13] Class: usb hard drive in my closet one's on my phone 1's on a usb stick in my wallet 1's in the trunk of my car, dropbox, a cloud storage service..a few other random servers i have access to that i didn't setup so aren't using key aut hetc [20:14] if you use openconnect to connect to a CISCO RDP VPN, what do you do after you log in to is from a command line using openconnect name.of.server ? how do i log in to my office machine? [20:14] hi, trying to import a .vcf file into evolution.. seems to be impossible. After selecting the file, the "file-type" select box and the "Forward" button are both greyed out. File is valid vCard format [20:14] improveupon: if so, try this: switch to vt1, and then hibernate (I can look up the command if you don't have it set to a button or whatever) [20:14] llutz: Hybrid as in? [20:14] anyone know how to make it behave? [20:14] blkdg, is it a windows box? and can you ping it? [20:14] improveupon: if that "fixes" it, there's a quirk option you can turn on which will tell the system to do that automatically everytime [20:15] SgrA: as in bootable from cd/dvd and usb too. needs some special action when creating the iso, ubuntu-devs don't do it now [20:15] zul_: ok and what error were you getting when you connected with mysql -h localhost -u foo -pfoo [20:15] ok if i get disconnected it did not work [20:15] llutz: So, using unetbootin won't work either? [20:15] j3roth, it is windows it says 'connected tun0 as x.x.x.x, using SSL [20:15] SgrA: unetbootin should do [20:15] oh [20:15] zul_: did you grant foo acccess to a database [20:15] SgrA: it converts the iso-content and modfies it [20:15] blkdg, okay, great, does it respond to a ping? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [20:15] j3roth, yes [20:16] blkdg, does it come up if you run a rdesktop name.of.server [20:16] checking j3roth [20:16] the error is: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'foo'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [20:16] Only the alternate CD gives you software raid options when installing, right? [20:17] Roasted: yes but you can build a software-raid at any time in an installed system [20:17] celthunder, storing your keys in cloud is more dumb i think [20:17] hi every... [20:17] j3roth, to the ip or to the url that i passed to openconnect? [20:17] i ave installed ubuntu 10.10 , but grub dont show boot menu, is it normal? [20:17] blkdg, the ip address of the windows box you are trying to access should work. [20:17] iceroot, I thought so. this alternate installer is so dang bloody slow I thought about just doing a regular install of it and manually getting an array going. [20:17] Class: it's a private one i originally was using as a test environment [20:17] Roasted: do it [20:17] Class: not something a billion other people are using [20:18] none_13: hold down shift during boot, I believe [20:18] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8', this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [20:18] Class, I backup my ssh keys to either a truecrypt volume, or my encrypted raid. [20:18] i tried it already.... shift is useless :( [20:18] I'm trying to install 11.04 x64 server to a raid 1 array but at first boot i get a black screen right after grub. Any ideas on how to solve this (tried reinstall)? [20:18] zul_: did you add a space after -p (-p foo instead of -pfoo) also did you grant permisions to the user [20:18] none_13: repeated tapping of escape? :p [20:19] Hi everyone. I am trying to convert an avi video to flv in order to show it on my web site. Any ideas which converter and flash player script I can use? [20:19] none_13: (which shift key may matter too, I usually use the left one I think) [20:19] galfly: ffmpeg [20:19] ok i'll try again.... [20:19] thanks guys for suggestions and advices i will consider it [20:19] :)) [20:20] Nelis, try this, ffmpeg -i input.avi -pass 1 -s 448x336 -ab 56k -ar 22050 -ac 1 -vcodec flv -b 500k -g 160 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell out.flv [20:20] ffmpeg -i input.avi -pass 2 -s 448x336 -ab 56k -ar 22050 -ac 1 -vcodec flv -b 500k -g 160 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell -y out.flv [20:20] forgot to mention it's software raid [20:20] blkdg, that work? [20:21] j3roth, nope, neither the url i gave openconnect, or the ip address open connect gave me back worked in your command [20:22] celthunder: thanks I'll find out what that is. what about the player to use on site? [20:22] blkdg, You are using the IP address of the box at work you are trying to connect to correct? [20:22] j3roth, this is what i am doing, sudo openconnect vpn.my.work, then i give it my root passwd, then my userid, then my vpn id then the i can see that i am connected to something. [20:23] Hi people, I don't know why, but my LibreOffice won't e [20:23] hello, what this means? [20:23] Oh never mind. I figured out thank you [20:23] WARNING: The size of this disk is 4.0 TB (4000795721728 bytes).

[20:23] blkdg, okay, as long as openconnect says you are correctly connected to VPN, and you can ping your work computer. It should work. [20:23] Woozie404: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:23] Hi people, I don't know why, but my LibreOffice won't activate my Danish Dictionary.. [20:23] how do I set the terminal so I don't lose french accents and such? [20:24] jstoone, libreoffice has awful awful language support [20:24] Hello, what does this mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/612006/ [20:24] j3roth, so openconnect says i am there, and i installed gnome-rdp and remmina from the software centre, and i still cant connect [20:24] Soupermanito: It works on my other installations [20:24] question: i have alot of repeatable lines in a large file. I dont know what the line is how can i grep them out? [20:25] Woozie404: it means you are trying to partition a disk with a format that doesnt handle large volumes [20:25] Woozie404: what is not clear about the message? [20:25] blkdg, well that leaves pretty much two options. Either #1: the rdp service is not running on your work computer or #2 your not able to reach the work computer over the network. [20:25] j^2, what line are you looking for? [20:25] Hi, I have just installed 11.4 (64bit) and experiencing extremely slow interface (ubuntu class). I have NVIDIA 480gtx so plenty of power. NVIDIA is showing as installed but "not currently in use". If I run glxgears, it reports FPS of around 7000 but the gears move extremely slowly. Any ideas? [20:25] j^2, u can use sort + uniq [20:25] LAcan: not bad, that makes sense :) [20:26] Dunno, i'm not a pro. So how can I fix it? [20:26] j3roth: something like what LAcan said [20:26] j^2, sort master.txt | uniq -u > mymaster.txt [20:26] j^2, yup. :) [20:26] Firetramp: open up 'restricted drivers' under adminstration, also know as 'additional drivers' [20:26] Woozie404: for what you need the disc? share with windows? install ubuntu? [20:26] then active the nvida driver [20:26] LAcan: thanks! [20:27] j^2, np, i happened to be doing that right this second :) [20:27] sta7ic, NVIDIA is showing as installed but "not currently in use" [20:27] Woozie404: yeah what is it your trying to accomplish [20:27] iceroot: i'm trying to create a RAID 10 [20:27] j3roth, my ict person gave me a windows only handout, that tells me to connect via the web, i can connect to the portal via the web interface. but then the windows instructions tell me to add a connection 127.0.0.1:3003 which looks like one of the choices in the applet that launches from the portal, but i can't ever connect to that. [20:27] Firetramp: does it show as activated in 'additonal drivers' ? [20:27] However, glxinfo shows direct rendering = yes also [20:28] sta7ic, shows green, yes [20:28] with 4x 2TB drives [20:28] Installed Ubuntu 11.04 last night on my girlfriends laptop (Acer Aspire 5516), and it works perfectly as long as an ethernet cable is plugged in. As soon as I unplug the ethernet cable, the system freezes. If I restart the computer without the ethernet cable plugged in, it loads the login screen, but when I try to log in it freezes just before it should load the desktop. I can log in with the cable unplugged [20:28] to Ubuntu Classic(no effects). I found someone with a similar problem on the ubuntu forums, he said he updated the kernel to 2.6.39.0 and that fixed the problem for him. Not so for me. Any ideas? [20:28] j3roth, can you think of any other channels where i could ask, cisco isn't working. [20:28] Woozie404: that doesnt answer my question [20:29] Firetramp: not sure but it sounds like your xorg.conf isnt using the nvidia driver but some generic driver so maybe just modifiying that would help, i know there is a command to reconfigure your xorg settings [20:29] jstoone, i could never make it work, and i asked and asked on #libreoffice ,you migth have better luck asking there [20:29] LAcan: nice :) :) :) [20:29] blkdg, interesting, im not sure 100% whats wrong, but I do know that many of the java vpn clients can be wonky. I personally use Cisco AnyConnect and it works fine on 11.04 Never used OpenConnect [20:29] Woozie404: you are not using extX so there must be a reason [20:30] Woozie404: the partition size thing? [20:30] yes [20:30] Woozie404: in gparted or whatever, you need to rewrite the partition table as something other than dos [20:30] well I am using ext4 [20:30] a dos partition table has a 4tb limit [20:30] Woozie404: on your RAID, what OS are you going to be running? all linux? [20:30] yea, ubuntu [20:31] RAID is created with mdadm [20:31] j3roth, where did you get the client ? [20:32] blkdg, my work provides it. The Cisco VPN concentrator gives me an option to use the web applet (what you are using) or install the client. [20:32] disk array size should be 4GB but when mounted it shows only 2GB [20:32] gb or tb? [20:32] blkdg, you might want to try and google "Cisco AnyConnect" download. If it is compatible with your works vpn concentrator, then you should be all set using that client. [20:33] j3roth, trying now. [20:33] blkdg, good luck! [20:33] anybody have any ideas for my question? [20:33] oh sorry. both TB [20:33] Woozie404: I might have been mistaken when I said 4tb, if it's only showing 2tb :p [20:33] either way, it's the same problem: you can't use a dos filetable [20:34] msdos partion table size limit is 2tb [20:34] if you want bigger partition use gpt [20:34] amwhitcomb, can you boot into recovery mode? [20:35] I want to see what pidgin processes are running. ps -aux give me so much output. Can I add the word pidgin to give me just that? (Yes I did but the info entry confused me with too much.) [20:35] hmm, dunno what is wrong then. maybe this http://paste.ubuntu.com/612009/ [20:35] honestly haven't tried why? [20:35] Soupermanito: I found an Open Office Dictionary extention on the web! Thanks for the help though! :D [20:35] tripelbb, ps -ef | grep pidgin [20:35] ps ax | grep pidgin will work [20:36] j3roth, thanks. [20:36] tripelbb, no problem [20:36] What is the associated text to the Recovery menu item "FailsafeX" in English? (Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8', this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.) [20:36] I copy these to my save info files. thanks stevegza too. [20:36] I am aiming to get a stable system and then stop fiddling around with it. Is there a way i can disable ubuntu suggesting updates, or is that a bad idea? [20:36] btw, i created the filesystem like this: "sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/md2p1" [20:36] is it wrong? [20:36] j3roth, to get the file from cisco, i need a cisco id ???? [20:37] Woozie404: it's not the filesystem, it's the partition table [20:37] Woozie404: you need to change the partition table, not the filesystem/partition-type [20:37] blkdg, yeah i was afraid of that. See if your work will provide you with a download. [20:37] Woozie404: i.e., it can't express a big enough number to say where the partition ends === eternal is now known as Guest75380 [20:37] butter_fs: i don't understand what you mean by that [20:37] Woozie404: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html [20:38] thanks again [20:38] blkgdg, sorry I couldnt solve it for ya. [20:38] llultz: hmm, that should help. thank you :D [20:40] hello [20:40] http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ 404!? [20:40] what is tha easyest way to learn unix [20:40] ? [20:40] korg77, the command line? [20:40] korg77: for what purpose? [20:41] anyone know where i can get the latest nouveau drivers? (a ppa or something) [20:41] i order to use mail servers and web servers [20:41] !unity | wonginator1221 [20:41] wonginator1221, please see my private message [20:42] korg77: lots of reading and playing around with mail servers and web servers then [20:42] nice ps -ef | grep pidgin gave me "pidgin" in bright red. [20:42] (preferably in unimportant roles, as you will break things :p) [20:42] tripelbb, yup. Anything your trying to do with the process? [20:42] ubuntu isnt letting me open vuze, any idea why? [20:43] j3roth, yes, I killed it. I dont know what happened. pidgin started up. [20:43] moses, any error messages? [20:43] i mean if you sugest a book or something [20:43] I've got a question on ssh-add and identity timeouts. Is this the right place to ask about that? [20:43] ? [20:43] j3roth, I'm on here in xchat. [20:43] says vuze was shut down incorrectly last time [20:43] but i dont know how to make those errors pop up in the lower right anymore [20:44] do you know which ones im talking about [20:44] ? [20:44] tripelbb, in the future you can use the command pkill . That way you do not need to search for the process ID. Example: pkill pidgin [20:44] j3roth, yes I'm not myself again. === tripelbb is now known as tripelb [20:45] moses, try opening a terminal window and launching vuze from there. just type vuze. see if it works there or gives you a new error message. [20:46] j3roth, now I am. I became my second. and got disconnected on my other server. It's ok now so I am not going to understand it.

[20:46] moses, run the command pkill vuze [20:46] moses, then try launching it again [20:46] Hy guys, little help please. Please tell me how to stop ssh on ubuntu after reboot. To stop service ssh stop, but after reboot it comes back one.

[20:51] could somebody write me pm, just for test [20:51] apple314: or you can edit /etc/init/ssh.conf [20:51] pdtpatrick, unfortunately wine does not play well with vmware vpshere, the best work around is to use RDP to connect to just the application. I use this method: http://vmetc.com/2009/10/23/using-vsphere-client-on-ubuntu-linux-with-single-application-rdp/ [20:51] ubuntu france [20:52] Hello Ubuntuusers, i look for a programm witch i can use for sending alle audio-output over network to an other pc, have someone a idea? [20:52] pdtpatrick, works great for me personally. Getting it to install natively, all I can say is good luck. [20:52] lookforanexpert: pulseaudio does that already [20:52] i logged out [20:52] it worked [20:52] j3roth .. there's a linux version which is Vmware Server console and allows you to do that same thing as vSphere on windows. But for some reason it is not being installed on Ubuntu. [20:52] moses, yeah, vuze was running in the background. That will work. [20:53] pdtpatrick, interesting, ive never had any experience with it. My work uses Vsphere, but ill have to check it out. [20:54] j3roth - i used it on debian and centOS but now even after installing of VMware Server 2.0 on this box [20:54] butter_fs have you a manuel for that? [20:54] it won't let me install console [20:54] pdtpatrick, interesting. Sorry dont have much experience with it. Sorry mate, hope you find someone who does. [20:55] j3roth .. here: http://register.vmware.com/content/download-1010.html === matt_ is now known as Guest54783 [20:56] j3roth .. see the server console there? :) [20:56] is vmware free? [20:56] pdtpatrick, yeah i see that. However, I was under the impression that it was not compatible with esxi environments. [20:56] lookforanexpert: no, but you should be able to find it; just poke around the volume control panels [20:56] i've tried it and was able to log in just fine [20:57] i have a lexmark 5000 all in one trying to get the scanner to work in ubuntu 10.04 any idea's? [20:57] the device isn't showing up anywhere [20:57] butter_fs thank you, i am trying ;) [20:58] Hello, I've installed ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and from some reason the iphone internet tethering is not working? (it worked just fine on the previous version 10.10) ? [20:58] how can I filter output of a `cat`, if I want to see that line, which contains string1 OR string2? maybe with `grep` and with regexp, but how? [20:58] libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so is missing [20:58] the logical connection is the problem, I not really know regexp [20:58] antivirtel: grep pattern file (no cat needed) [20:59] i have the wxGtk shit installed [20:59] and a quick google reveals there's no way to fix it [20:59] unless i'm wrong [20:59] llutz, ok, but what is the pattern, if I want to see only that line, which contain string1 OR string2? [21:00] makaveli0129, openprinting might be helpfull > http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Lexmark/Lexmark-5000 [21:00] antivirtel: specifically, cat | grep -i 'string1|string2' [21:00] antivirtel: grep -e string1 -e string2 file [21:00] oerheks: ok so i got the ppd driver how do i install it? [21:00] Loshki: grep needs no cat :) [21:01] grep prefers dogs [21:01] oerhecks: nvmd found it [21:02] oke [21:02] llutz thanks, that works :))) - Loshki, here it does not work ... maybe wrong? [21:03] j3roth ..got it working :) .. u have to steal it from server 1.0 files and install the server console. WOrking fine now. No need for wine [21:03] pdtpatrick, neat ill have to try it later and see if its compatible with my esxi environment [21:03] pdtpatrick, cheers [21:03] llutz and if I want to use AND logical connection? grep something_pattern file | grep pattern? [21:03] antivirtel: egrep -i 'string1|string2' file would do [21:03] j3roth - anytime [21:04] antivirtel: llutz' version is fine. Not sure why mine fails. Did you get the quoting wrong, perhaps? [21:04] antivirtel: yes, theres no AND in grep, so use 2 grep and the pipe [21:04] just installed xfce4 but i have no items in my main menu. [21:04] (ubuntu 11.04 64bit) [21:04] Loshki: yours need grep -E or egrep [21:04] but no cat :) [21:04] how can I get ssh-agent to forget an identity when the screensaver locks the screen?

[21:21] leao: you need to install openSSH [21:21] i have not received any updates since i upgraded to natty [21:21] okay MonkeyDust, i am doing that [21:22] Hello guys. Quick question: just upgraded from 10.04 LST to 11.04 and my bluetooth is not working anymore. Any ideas on what should I do next ? [21:22] freeburn, try running the following: sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update [21:22] sisif: try installing blueman [21:22] MonkeyDust: did that. Not working [21:23] hello I have question. How 2 change resolution during boot in text mode? [21:24] j3roth still no update [21:24] MonkeyDust: here`s the sorry. My notebook has a RF kill switch for BT - which is broken. The reason why i`v been using 10.04 up until now it was because I could click on the BT icon , set it to "BT On" and voila - BT was enabled. Not, when I open the BT manager it tells me "no adapter found" [21:25] i have tried many online tutorials... [21:25] sisif: there's an rfkill command that may be helpful [21:25] sisif: i had that issue, too, blueman fixed it [21:25] sisif: possibly sudo rfkill --unset all i think? [21:26] maco: not, it did not [21:27] MonkeyDust: what exactly did you do after installing blueman ? [21:28] sisif: blueman did the trick, maybe i rebooted, don't remember [21:29] hi, i'm trying to install a driver from source, and there aren't any useful config files that i can find. what can i do make a config file or get around this?

I already reduced swapiness to 10; however, when I look at the output of 'free' I still see that my swap is 100% used and that I have enough free memory for all the data in swap [21:31] <_vladt> is there a way to force the kernel to reinstate all swap memory into RAM? [21:32] Is it a good idea to turn off idle SATA drives? Does it increase their lifetime? [21:32] Thank's everyone for the help. Special thanks to . Touch touch "/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run" worked like a charm. How can you not love linux comunity. Bye guys! [21:32] I have a Huge problem, I need to do a clean install of Natty, but when booting from Flash it says "boot Error", yet in other PC (Windows ones) it does boot Lunux, any ideas on how to reinstall? [21:33] cb linux have you done the usb stick with unetbootin or how did you do it? [21:33] 11.04 seems to indicate I have my printer installed correctly but whenever I print the job appears in the print queue momentarily and then disappears with no printing activity from the printer at all. When further print jobs are sent the dialog box indicates the queue is getting longer but when the print queue is checked it is empty (no entries). What's the problem?? [21:34] nailujc, is it an usb printer? [21:34] yes it is a Canon Pixma ip1000 printer on usb connection [21:34] nailujc, does printer show in lsusb?

(Although '~$ locale; LANG=en_US.utf8', this associated text appears in my Ubuntu in my native language.)

[21:40] what do you mean? do you think i've followed the correct method or not? === |WiZ| is now known as WiZ [21:40] yes nailujc it seems correct [21:40] nailujc, does the log show something? [21:40] cb-linux: no, you should use GParted from a live CD to format your existing partition(s) & then install something else on them (although not strictly necessary; the OS installer should offer a way to format partitions if necessary) [21:40] when i run this command /etc/news/filter/cleanfeed filter_innd.pl.old cleanfeed dissapers and filter_innd.pl says the same?

[21:56] hi lolmatic [21:57] lots of text!!! the last entry states: "if you have more than one canon ip1000 printer connected to this machine, please unload (and blacklist) the "usblp" kernel module as otherwise CUPS will not be able to distinguish your printers". there are also 7 other entries before this all relating to various processes stopped with status 13! (processes are : hpfax, canon_parallel, hp, hp, ... [21:57] ...canon_usb, canon_parallel, hpfax) [21:57] when making a .deb package from source, is there a way to make 'dpk-buildpackage -rfakeroot' stop trying to do a 'make test' if the makefile doesn't have rules for 'make test' ? i know it will compile and install properly, anyway. [21:57] uys I had ubuntu installed and I unplugged the hard drive and plugged in a second one to install win7 thinking I could just swap them back and forth but now I can't get into either OS. I get thrown into grub resuce when I boot up. Anyone know how I can set up a dual boot here saving both installs I have? [21:57] jsuhde: up to you, but how much memory do you have? [21:58] Thanks [21:58] thanks, bye [21:58] LjL: 4 gigs [21:58] dpkg-buildpackage rather. [21:58] hey i was just wondering if i could get some help with an issue i am having with natty.. [21:58] jsuhde: the only real issue with 64bit is that sometimes you might find software (if you are adventurous and install software from outside the repositories in the first place) that only comes compiled for 32bit [21:58] why can't I see jdk in ubuntu 10.10? [21:58] onetwo: it seems like they do have their own kernel hosted. i tried making the makefile with no success, it just says "make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'" [21:59] anyone knows why banshee not sorting artists aphabetically? [21:59] jsuhde: on the other hand, if you use 32bit you won't be able to access all of your 4gb of RAM, unless you use something called PAE (which is probably enabled by default these days, but i think it's sort of slowish and hackish) [21:59] Hello! I'm looking for a little help. I want to buy a new compact photo machine - I found some machines: Canon PowerShot A490 and A495; Fujifilm FinePix AV100 and AX200, and I have a limit: 130 USD - It will serv for a "government company"; I think the AA battery(no built-in battery) is better, because it is not used for long time... - any other suggestions, or which of these?? (I think, now every of these machines is compatable with Ubuntu) [21:59] nailujc, blacklist usblp" kernel module as otherwise CUPS will not be able to distinguish your printers..maybe that helps [21:59] why can't I see jdk in ubuntu 10.10? [21:59] same sorting issue ive seen in rhythmbox [21:59] !java | gguit [21:59] gguit: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [21:59] jsuhde: you'll only access like 3.5gb or so [21:59] is anyone else having massive problems after distribution upgrade? like unity not working and no compiz in classic? [21:59] LjL: so a bit more speedy if I go with 64, but may run into compatability issues down the line? [22:00] how do i blacklist the usblp module? just type blacklist usblp in the terminal? [22:00] any way to add Tabs to Nautilus? [22:00] jsuhde: basically. but do keep in mind that the more time passes, the more likely you will be to find stuff compiled for 64bit in the first place [22:00] im having an issue with an upgrade i installed. i installed ubunto gnome remixed from their site using their repository and when i go to log in, it just sits there at the log in screen, is there a way to just uninstall it ? [22:00] jsuhde: i'm using 64bit now, for what it's worth [22:00] antivirtel, photomachine = camera ? [22:00] Hello. Is it safe already to install gnome-shell in 11.04 through it's official ppa? [22:01] anyone knows how to enable alphabetical artists sorting in banshee in 11.04 ? [22:01] sav: not very, no [22:01] sav: No, the official PPA is not stable or supported. [22:01] o wow nevermind, tabs are there [22:01] LjL: once more quick question, and thanks BTW. I already have Slackware and win7, I want to replace Slackware with Ubuntu, will the install walk me through that. Also I'm currently using lilo. [22:01] nailujc, check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/udev/+bug/420015?comments=all the comment from Till Kamppeter [22:01] Ubuntu bug 420015 in cups (Ubuntu) "usblp Kernel module needs to be removed and /dev/bus/usb/*/* made accessible for USB printers to work with CUPS 1.4.x" [High,New] [22:01] thanks LjL rww [22:01] BluesKaj compact photomachine... look at the 4 mentioned example [22:01] ubottu: thanks :) [22:01] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [22:02] jsuhde: uhm it will walk you through replacing it, but i'm not really sure it'll walk you through importing your old data, at least unless you have a separate /home partition. it'll just wipe out Slackware. [22:02] Hmm.. Once more?: "[13:43] Hey, I'm assisting someone on a forum regarding connecting Ubuntu 11.04 to a wireless network, but, I can't give a step by step response. I don't use Ubuntu.

[22:03] LjL: yeah I got everything on a external drive, so no worries there. is it going to replace lilo though? [22:03] Lee0808: aside from removing that package and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, no [22:03] TeDiouSish: depends on your network manager, your wireless interface, encryption type, etc [22:03] jsuhde: yes [22:03] am I better off compiling mplayer from the source if I want to get the most optimal compile times on my machine? [22:03] err, encode times, not compile times [22:03] Anyone ever use an auditing framework to look at commands issued on BASH? [22:03] 11.04 32 bit vs. 64 bit what are the recommendations? [22:03] LjL: i'm assumeing with a new bootloader? I just want to make sure I can still dual boot. Thanks! [22:04] BentSpace, on 64 bit i recommend more than 4 gb of ram [22:04] or are the prebuilt packages sufficient enough [22:04] jsuhde: it'll replace it with GRUB2. if everything goes well (it always did for me), GRUB2 will automatically be configured to boot every operating system you have installed. [22:04] LjL: sweet thanks for your help [22:04] Sazpaimon: probably if you're changing compile options to optimize for your instance if not then the prepackaged is likely the same as you'll end up with [22:04] hi all, i'm having a weird issue trying to reboot with linux 2.6.38 (x86_64) [22:05] ubuntu LTS 10.04 [22:05] system hangs on restart with:"will now restart" [22:05] onetwo, I only have 2 GB RAM, so you would say stick with 32?

[22:14] szal: true - this is just by way of general comparison === michael is now known as Guest82765 === derp|busy is now known as derp [22:14] Couldn't open "/home/michael/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied [22:14] Transmission is locked [22:14] can anyone help? [22:14] srsOni, install windows xp first , then ubuntu-server on a partition beside windows..but make thew partitions for windows and ubuntu first. I will make your installation a lot simpler [22:14] I'm using lubuntu [22:14] shankara: try 2.6.39?

[22:14] @ Guest use sudo [22:14] Guest82765: in what context does this appear? [22:14] celthunder: i think i'll go and do that [22:14] Guest82765: rm /home/michael/.config/transmission/lock [22:15] Guest82765: chmod the directory to your owner [22:15] srsOni, it will make [22:15] Guest82765: er your user and then rm the lock file [22:15] Is there any way to check the internal temperature of a desktop machine, or do only laptops have internal temp? [22:15] puff: acpi [22:15] Guest82765: Right: sudo rm /home/michael/.config/transmission/lock [22:15] !gparted |srsOni [22:15] srsOni: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [22:15] This is some funky dell poweredge server machine, so the odds it has an internal temp are actually pretty high. [22:16] blueskaj: i started with a fresh wipe, created the smaller xp partition when i installed, then used ubuntu live cd to resize and assign the partitions [22:17] update-grub [22:17] /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib: 38: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied [22:17] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

[22:17] celthunder: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty. [22:17] heyy all [22:17] palhmbs: sudo ?:p [22:17] I just succesfully added grub2 to the mbr on /dev/sdc [22:17] sudo update-grub ?

[22:18] frak [22:18] is there any way I can access and backup my files from the Desktop from a livecd? The desktop is installed on a regular disc [22:19] I installed a bucketload of fonts yestrday, and now the default monospace font is really horrible — how do I configure the default monospace font? [22:19] cirwin, sounds like you overwrote the original monospace [22:19] maybe re-install from package manager? [22:19] schwiz2010: mount the partition of your installed system and backup that to some other disk or partition [22:19] use apt-cache search monospace [22:19] palhmbs: I didn't remove any fonts, I think it's just a priority problem in fontconfig [22:20] How do you: add a line to the end of a file in terminal? [22:20] fonts have priorities - you've gotta be kidding right? [22:20] echo "foobar" > file.txt [22:20] ? [22:20] >> [22:20] are there any netbooks or laptops, that come with Linux pre-installed and fully capitable? OTHER THAN DELL. [22:20] semitones: >> [22:20] palhmbs: fontconfig is "really" complicated, I was hoping someone would be able to help me [22:20] MonkeyDust I have mounted the installed partition but I don't have access to my user files they are hidden. In /usr I don't see my stuff [22:20] qin, taglass, thanks :D [22:20] semitones: > overwrites >> appends [22:20] Sinatra: Yes [22:20] palhmbs: it has to be, as not all fonts support all symbols in all aspects [22:21] cirwin, I use http://fontmatrix.net/ [22:21] i'm glad I asked :D [22:21] Sinatra: Asus is one example. [22:21] Sinatra: http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/pc.html [22:21] I find it pretty useful as a font manager. [22:21] i been googleing for the last hour but okay let me look\ [22:22] palhmbs: ugh, why does that depend on mysql.. [22:22] MonkeyDust ok I found it but a ton of my files it says I don't have permission to read them while I try to copy [22:23] Sinatra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed [22:23] Sinatra, or http://linuxpreloaded.com/ [22:23] cirwin, I guess cause it runs it's own database. [22:24] cirwin, there may be a sqlite version, idk [22:24] cirwin: Silly question, but have you looked around at /etc/fonts/conf.d and the tags? [22:25] taglass: no, I'll have a look, thanks [22:25] where can i get some benchmark nubers for Ubuntu V. Win7 for gaming [22:26] pharonix [22:26] pharonix? [22:26] o [22:26] taglass: thanks, it seems that unfont installs FreeMono as the default for monospace (If I'm reading this right). I assume ~/.fonts.conf will override that? [22:26] that's phoronix [22:27] Arent desktop effects sposed to work with dual monitors? every time i plug the other monitor in desktop effects stops working. Is that normal? [22:27] lol, sorry [22:28] cirwin: I beleive so. Like you said, Linux fonts are stupidly complex. I just mentioned that directory hoping you'd find something that set you on the right path :) [22:28] teage i think compiz gets deactivated due to bigger screen resolution..when you tye in console compiz --replace error should be visible [22:28] Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit , Is there a prop driver for ATI Radeon XFX HD 6750 ? [22:28] thank you :) [22:28] onetwo, ok thanks. will do that right now. [22:29] Hello, Unity doesn't start on login and I just get a desktop background. Any fix? [22:29] eLiam: fix is called Gnome :p [22:29] MonkeyDust, hehe [22:30] MonkeyDust: I've got a desktop *shortcut* which launches unity. Seems to work but something is obviously broken... [22:30] Read some people saying to stick to 10.10 vs 11.04 what do you guys think? [22:30] hello guys, I've got an NVIDIA graphics card and 11.04 does not seem to like it [22:30] i learned in years of ubuntu to stick with lts versions [22:31] It says GLX 1.3 is not supported. and says its a bug. Do you know anything about that onetwo? Prolly means I just have to deal with it. Oh well. [22:31] I activate the drivers for it but it says: driver activated but not in use and it's really messing up my splash screen [22:31] I get this white screen full of scribbles while my OS starts up :( [22:31] BentSpace, 10.04 is a LTS not 10.10 [22:32] hello, am I in this room? [22:33] teage seems to be a known bu [22:33] root-lord, I have noticed over time that the additional driver thing is buggy and often lying. (yes you're here) [22:33] bug [22:33] Hello guys. Quick question: I want to mount a ext4 partition from a different hdd with ubuntu on it, but the partition is encrypted. How can I decrypt it ? [22:33] if i want to use and run a webserver should i get the desktop or server edition? [22:33] edbian: thanks, I thought I had problems with my nickname registration :) [22:33] sisif, i think you might have to use whatever you encrypted it with (truecrypt/etc) or format it? === palhmbs is now known as palhmbs_ [22:33] srsOni: if you want to run a desktop as well, use the desktop version [22:34] so what's the deal? I was just fine with 10.10 and did a clean install and now it's all messed up :( [22:34] does anyone know how to get the EULA onto Runes of Magic [22:34] onetwo, one more problem, when i ran compiz --replace it did give me an error, but, I exited terminal and now my windows are all funky. They have lost there borders. [22:34] to everyone: I love Ububntu :) 4 days since the fresh install and already can't stand windows [22:34] reliableNerd, I don`t want to format it, I want to back up the info on it. it`s my /home from my notebook [22:35] teage press alt+f2 if that works put metacity --replace in and press ok [22:35] reliableNerd, and it was encrypted by the option gived by ubuntu upon install [22:35] *givened [22:35] teage, or put the command in a terminal window [22:35] Heyo - anyone here know how I could append an echo to a bunch of files all at once ... i.e. echo "whatever" >> *.txt ??? apparently ambiguous redirects are a no-go. :D [22:35] can' believe that I've wasted so much time with windows [22:35] funnylookinhat: use tee [22:36] echo foo | tee -a *.txt [22:36] sisif: that's an interesting question... [22:36] edbian, Yea, but sounds like there have been alot of problems with 11.04, is it worth it to install? [22:36] maylow, youre so right [22:36] eLiam, can you give me an interesting answer? :D [22:36] BentSpace, It is very different from 10.10. More different than most upgrades are. I'm using it. I think it works alright. [22:36] Hey guys, from a live CD, how can I change directory in the bash to the HDD? [22:37] onetwo, :) [22:37] hey im new to ubuntu so dont really have any idea what im doing with it yet but i have ubuntu 8.10 and cant upgrade it any ideas [22:37] Axtra: you must mount the HDD first (you can do so from Disk Utility i believe) [22:37] Axtra, You have to mount the HDD partition you want to access [22:37] cirwin, tee! genius. thanks. [22:37] Axtra: then, cd /media/whateverapplies [22:37] cirwin, Will that append it ? [22:37] man tee :p [22:37] tommy44, System -> Admin -> software sources. Change it from LTS to normal releases [22:37] that's what the -a flag does [22:37] Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit , Is there a prop driver for ATI Radeon XFX HD 6750 ? [22:38] Okay, how do I mount the HDD? [22:38] <--- Noob [22:38] hi everybody, i'm trying to sniff some data within my network with: msgsnarf and urlsnarf but after a few hours of running these programs in the terminal, both of the commands are killed automatically. here's how i ran the commands: "urlsnarf -i eth0 >> url" and "msgsnarf -i eth0 >> msg". how do i keep these commands running as-long-as the system is on? [22:39] Axtra, sudo mount /dev/sdaX /path/to/some/folder You should use /mnt as the folder. You can look up the /dev/sdaX by looking at the output of sudo fdisk -l [22:39] sisif: I'm asking google now :-) [22:39] Lok up the mount command [22:39] Axtra: Easiest is ti simply click it in the file browser, then head to /media/something [22:39] eLiam, so do I :D [22:39] Axtra: Disk Utility, it's in the menu [22:39] it is on normal release [22:39] please :( anyone able to help with nvidia driver problems with 11.04? [22:39] tommy44, Go to update manager [22:39] root-lord: the #nvidia channel were kind to me once [22:39] when i hit upgrade to 9.04 it says failed to extract [22:39] Axtra: if you're on Unity at least. if you're on classic GNOME, it should just be available from the Places menu i believe [22:39] gnome-ppp can't write to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets .. but if I make it o+rw then pppd doesn't want to use it any more. .. what's the 'best' way to make this work [22:40] tommy44, failed to extract? Any more details please? [22:40] How to I reset my gnome theme? [22:40] root-lord: can you explain the problem ? [22:40] The panels and icons have another theme. [22:40] <[A]ddicted> In linux, modules can be added without reboot, in Windows it is not the case. What is the cause (keywords to focus on). thanx [22:40] extracting the upgrade failed. there may be a problem with the network or with the server [22:40] <[A]ddicted> ? [22:40] onetwo, So, compiz --replace then metacity --replace to restore right? thanks for the info [22:40] tommy44, are you online? 9.04 should still be up [22:40] lol yeah im online [22:40] im on here [22:41] [A]ddicted: we don't do Windows here ;) [22:41] teage, You don't have to do compiz first. You can do metacity right away. [22:41] Can someone help me? [22:41] <[A]ddicted> szal, it is a question about linux, not windows [22:41] edbian, I mean to check why desktop effects isnt working would do compiz --replace right? [22:41] tommy44, can you use the package manager otherwise? [22:41] cirwin: thanks I'll check that channel [22:41] teage, Yes it would [22:42] wheres that at [22:42] <[A]ddicted> what makes linux able to extend its kernel without rebooting, which is not the case of other OS (i won't mention windows ok :) ) [22:42] edbian and then to restore metacity --replace. [22:42] teage, yes that's right [22:42] Yoshie: I'm able to activate the nvidia drivers natively but it says it is not in use and I get scribbles when I start up the OS instead of a nice looking Ubuntu splash screen [22:42] tommy44, sudo apt-get install htop [22:42] sisif: try asking here --> irc://irc.oftc.net/#ecryptfs [22:42] Okay, it looks like the drive is already mounted - /dev/sdb [22:42] tommy44, apt-get is a front-end to the package manager. so is synaptic, or ubuntu software center [22:43] edbian i loose desktop effects when i plug a second monitor in is what i was dealing with. but cant run compiz with my second monitor i dont think. [22:43] hi, when I use apt-get install phpmyadmin i only get version 3.3.7, can I not get 3.4.X this way? [22:43] teage, mmm, [22:43] teage: what kind of video card is it?

[22:44] tommy44, sudo apt-get install gedit [22:44] tommy44, I don't know the package for htop apparently [22:45] brb [22:45] root-lord: start up boot option using this nouveau.blacklist=1 [22:45] where do I go to setup that? [22:45] lol says getit is already the newest verison [22:46] tommy44, that's what I expected.... [22:46] hi, I have a seagate hard drive, how do I mount it? [22:46] Does anybody know where I can find some manual raid1 setup instructions on Ubuntu 11.04? I found some that were extremely dated but they didn't work. [22:46] yeah =[ [22:46] tntc, I dont know, I checked in system monitor and it says nothing about a video card. just intel R core TM 2 cpu. [22:46] lsusb says "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bc2:2300 Seagate RSS LLC" [22:46] what's with the version numbering of the x264 package? [22:46] which dev device does thart correspond to? === palhmbs_ is now known as palhmbs [22:46] tommy44, I'm researching [22:47] okay [22:47] teage: lspci should tell you something about it. look for something with VGA in the line [22:47] Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit , Is there a prop driver for ATI Radeon XFX HD 6750 ? [22:47] tntc, K [22:47] Hi, I have trouble with mounting an ISO as a CD-device [22:47] tommy44, Try sudo do-release-upgrade [22:47] i was trying to figure out why apt thought ubuntu's version of x264 is newer than the one at debian-multimedia (it's not), then I realize the ubuntu version number starts with a 2 [22:47] And how are you mounting it, CyborgSmurf [22:47] Yoshie, Ask in #radeon [22:47] CyborgSmurf: define "trouble" [22:47] Yoshie, They will know for sure. They might take a minute to answer [22:47] Can someone help me to reset gnome theme? [22:48] I forced the version number and held it back, but it's still an inconvenience [22:48] tntc, Express Integrated Graphics Controller [22:48] how do u disable unity one .. and have it just go back to gnome please? [22:48] Sazpaimon: don't mix Ubuntu and Debian installation sources === v3d_ is now known as Guest11590 [22:48] teage: intel?

[22:49] edbian: awesome thanks [22:49] Matic`Makovec : with AceToneISO [22:49] I found where is the problem with my not displaying themes [22:49] Yoshie, No problem [22:49] edbian: also im wondering will my card work in ubuntu ? havent installed yet [22:49] Wow, what the hell is that, CyborgSmurf [22:49] debian-multimedia are just generic dpkg builds of multimedia packages,I don't think they're debian specific [22:49] I was hoping for a nice command line command [22:49] Yoshie, What card do you have? [22:50] it's an unofficial mirror at any rate [22:50] Sazpaimon: that might well be, but Ubuntu and Debian are not the same (any more), so if you use Debian pkgs and something breaks, you get to keep the pieces [22:50] I am having an issue with the virtual server, I have an nvidia card in a laptop, and am trying to use uvesafb to access the tty terminals. I can access the terminals but the text is distorted and almost looks like it is shivering... Is there any known way to fix it? [22:50] edbian: ATI Radeon XFX HD 6750 [22:50] Okay, I [22:50] Yoshie, I think it will. [22:50] Ím still pretty confused [22:50] Axtra, About what? [22:50] hi everybody, i'm trying to sniff some data within my network with: msgsnarf and urlsnarf but after a few hours of running these programs in the terminal, both of the commands are killed automatically. here's how i ran the commands: "urlsnarf -i eth0 >> url" and "msgsnarf -i eth0 >> msg" (both sudo). how do i keep these commands running as-long-as the system is on? [22:50] edbian: k thanks again [22:50] Yoshie, sure, have fun [22:50] Matic`Makovec : it is a program that mount ISO-files [22:50] tntc, My monitor is much bigger than my lappy monitor, I wonder if that has anything to do with it? [22:50] I have the drive mounted, and Im trying to get to the GRUB config file in it, but I dont know how to change directory to it [22:51] [23:49:13] how <- you're kidding, aren't you? download an install CD & install [22:51] Axtra, cd /path/to/some/folder [22:51] teage: shouldn't be a problem, but I dunno much about Intel video cards [22:51] szal, i'm just curious as to the reasoning behind the arbitrary leading 2 in the x264 package [22:51] Axtra, something like, cd /media/something/boot/grub/ [22:51] CyborgSmurf, mkdir ismount; mount -o loop /path/to/iso ismount [22:51] how can i access facebook through a text-based program? [22:51] ie in the terminal [22:51] Would it be /media/sdb ? [22:52] ah here we go, I just saw it in the changelog [22:52] Axtra, something like that. Look in there and see if that's it [22:52] Cube, try links [22:52] i switched servers and it said the same thing [22:52] tommy44, I'm not sure what's that's about. Anybody else know? [22:52] Matic`Makovec> dosent work. It shows no emulated driver or anything [22:52] ok for my problem of nvidia pilot, I desactivated it [22:52] evening all. I just installed 11.04 and wondered where I can get the drivers for my NVidia card. since the ppa for nvidia doesn't seem to work [22:52] thatguy_: its not supported, nor would it be any fun [22:53] tommy44: as I said, Jaunty is dead, there are no more updates for it neither pkg sources, and we don't support it in here [22:53] tntc, well its fine, Thanks for helping me though. Dont really need desktop effects with my second monitor. Only use it for study work and is not always plugged in. Have a nice afternoon to you. [22:53] tommy44, Well there is your problem! Your version is dead! [22:53] CyborgSmurf, Using loop Kernel Module http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [22:53] is opera is a GTK app or a QT app?

I can access the terminals but the text is distorted and almost looks like it is shivering... Is there any known way to fix it? [22:53] edbian: you remember Hoary Hedgehog?

[22:54] Matic`Makovec: not to be lazy but they should add like "Mount as CD/DVD" or something [22:54] tommy44, Download and install the good one [22:54] thatguy, did you try to desactivate the nvidia pilot ? it may solve your problem [22:54] then reboot [22:54] whats it called [22:54] * taglass started before debian came to be. [22:54] you'll see if it solves your problem [22:54] Matic`Makovec: I'll check it out [22:54] how do you do that giulia?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:57] DarkStar1, PPA's only work for one release. I'm not sure where to find the drivers for you card (I don't even know what card you have) but I suggest you search 'nvidia' in synaptic and read the descriptions of all the different nvidia packages [22:57] ok, I try to do so [22:58] edbian: you suggest nvidia drivers w/o even knowing the card? [22:58] szal, I suggested he look at them. Not to use them [22:58] just to add my two cents, but my nvidia proprietary pilot didn't work on Unity, it was making me strange colors on the screen. I needed to desactivate [22:59] how can i find out what device my USB flash drive is? (like your main partition of your HDD is sda1 usually) [22:59] for example, the yellow became blue [22:59] Ok, I know that you can use uvesafb with the restricted drivers to make the tty's work, I have a feeling that the issue is a refresh rate issue, is there any way to set the refresh rate manually for uvesafb? [22:59] and Internet connexion was strangely slow [22:59] Samo502, lsusb or sudo fdisk -l [22:59] Samo502, Can't remember what lsusb shows you [23:00] thatguy, before trying to make complicate workout on your computer, try first to desactivate the nvidia pilot [23:00] giulia: from what I hear that's a kernel bug in 2.6.38, should be fixed w/ newer kernels (= wait for 11.10 or try to find a PPA that carries a newer one; ATTENTION: you will have to install nVidia driver from nvidia.com by hand w/ a newer kernel) [23:00] edbian: thx [23:00] edbian: lsusb shows the device bus, manufacturer, and ID [23:00] DarkStar1, sure [23:00] sal, thanks for your reply. But desactivating the pilot solved the problem and boosted my Internet connexion [23:00] Samo502, Then look at sudo fdisk -l [23:01] What I need to do is modify my grub.cfg file so that my computer logs on with a specific setting - specifically into BackTrack 5 Safe Mode - which should be possible - I just dont know how to change the grub.cfg file in the right way [23:01] edbian: it's sdb1, thanks [23:01] Samo502: one way is to plug in the usb device and then tail -10 /var/log/messages [23:01] I just did a typical update and when I rebooted, I get "error: invalid arch independent ELF magic" and the grub rescue prompt. How do I get it to boot through grub? [23:01] giulia, I have done that, have made the tty's work using uvesafb and just need to know how to give it a different refresh rate [23:01] Axtra: BackTrack is not supported here [23:01] I'm well aware of that [23:02] thatguy, meaning desactivating the nvidia driver ? [23:02] However, the guys in the BT channel arent being as helpful as I would like, so Im trying to see if I can work around the problem [23:02] Given that the problem is GRUB, I think that makes it relevant to this channel [23:02] does anyone know of any speech to text input applications that use the google speech recognition server? [23:02] szal: fudge! It cannot be mounted [23:03] CyborgSmurf: what cannot be mounted? [23:03] szal: the ISO-file [23:03] CyborgSmurf: error output please [23:03] !paste | CyborgSmurf [23:03] CyborgSmurf: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:03] szal: but thank you for the script, cool that it could be added like that [23:03] giulia, I have no problems with the nvidia driver. I have access to everything, including the tty's. I just need to adjust the refresh on the framebuffer to fix a distortion issue [23:03] CyborgSmurf: what script? [23:04] * szal doesn't remember having given a script to anyone [23:04] szal: sorry wrong guy :S [23:04] ok thatguy, now I understand better. But I keep thinking that you can solve your problem with a simpler solution [23:04] can you change the refresh rate of uvesafb? I am having graphical distortions that seem to be refresh rate issues [23:05] Matic`Makovec: fudge! it cannot be mounted [23:05] CyborgSmurf, and why is that so? [23:05] giulia, I know that it does but I would love to keep my compiz and 3d support and this work around is about 90% there just this last little problem [23:06] Sound used to work, then I was fiddling with pulseaudio. Removing most pulseaudio packages, then installed all of them (with ubuntu-desktop metapackage).. Now I don't have any sound at all, no soundcards detected. I really want sound back. Heres the alsa debug-script results : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ddd46535c8c937e37b941b5969e0ef6c9fdf3e82 [23:06] thatguy, I can swear you on my pen's head that compiz works on Unity without the nvidia card [23:06] Matic`Makovec: I dont know... could it be that the filenameLength is too long? [23:06] how to access USB pen drive on virtual machine in 11.04? [23:06] I have compiz without any nvidia driver [23:07] giulia: nouveau, no? [23:07] arand, what do you mean ? [23:07] newbie on the channel ? [23:08] not sure to understand your question [23:08] ?join virtualbox [23:08] I just did a typical update and when I rebooted, I get "error: invalid arch independent ELF magic" and the grub rescue prompt. How do I get it to boot through grub? [23:08] Matic`Makovec: gotta go, but thanks for the script :) [23:08] giulia: nouveau is the default driver for nvidia cards, likely that's what's enabling compiz for you [23:09] ok I understand better now [23:09] well, I have the open source driver, I don't use the nvidia one [23:09] but compiz works well on my computer with the open source driver [23:09] giulia, good :D [23:10] that's why I suggest before making complicated settings on the nvidia driver to desactivate it to see if it solves the problem [23:10] reactivating if desactivating is unsuccessful is easy and not very risky [23:11] whereas manipulating drivers is much more risky [23:11] so before using a risky and difficult solution, let try a simple one [23:11] lol computer is more or less like medicine [23:12] it reminds me when I suggest the cardiologist to change brand name of aspirin before tweaking the dose [23:12] she didn't think about it before I suggested her [23:12] and it was largely enough [23:12] same with computer [23:12] first the simplest solution [23:12] which is much less risky [23:13] so before teaking the nvidia driver, let desactivate the proprietary one to see if it solves the problem [23:13] then if it doesn't, we can tweak it [23:14] ok, for anyone who didn't know. Using kdm on 11.04 and unity don't like each other. I've changed to using gdm and everything now works a treat. [23:14] eLiam, Interesting [23:15] thanks eliam [23:15] hi everybody, i'm trying to sniff some data within my network with: msgsnarf and urlsnarf but after a few hours of running these programs in the terminal, both of the commands are killed automatically. here's how i ran the commands: "urlsnarf -i eth0 >> url" and "msgsnarf -i eth0 >> msg" (both sudo). how do i keep these commands running as-long-as the system is on?

Install sees my 12TB fine, but after reboot I get "error out of disk grub rescue" [23:17] talas, you may also want to go to the #pulseaudio channel [23:17] thanks coz_ [23:18] gary_inNYC, Programs installed by the package manager go into /usr/bin [23:18] gary_inNYC: if it's in the path, just try 'which transmission' [23:18] talas, sounds a bit more specific than I have experience with [23:18] gary_inNYC: from the console [23:18] ty i'll check [23:18] Matic ` Makovec: Im back and this is what it said " e /home/cyborgsmurf/Desktop/Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition/NWN Diamond Edition.iso" [23:19] im looking for a file manager thats still GUI but lighter (ie faster coldstart) than thunar [23:20] talas: i'm running them within screen sessions but when the command is killed, it states that [23:21] perfect, thanks. just had to tell ffox to use /usr/bin/transmission [23:21] how can I check if I have 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu installed?

I have followed all the instructions but am stuck trying to mount the share on the client. I type "sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.168.0.10:/ /mnt" and it just hangs for ages before eventually telling me "mount.nfs4: Connection timed out" - Anyone able to shed some light? [23:27] i'll report back in a bit [23:27] I've got two CPUs (Intel Core 2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86 GHz) and 2 GiB RAM, but I get some serious UI lag in LibreOffice when memory usage is high ... like the entire desktop freezes and goes grey when I save. Is there a simple trick to make dual CPUs work together? Or is that the problem: it's using all power already? [23:27] paranoidphreak: in that case I really dont know.. I myself would've tried to use 'sudo su' instead of sudo.. but thats just a wild guess. [23:28] Philosoraptor, How long does it take to run one command?

And I didn't suggest "a script" before, I suggested loop module [23:32] I've noticed that in Ubuntu 11.04 the font on the location bar (for the URL up top) is extremely small, to the point of looking awry. probably like around 9px. Perhaps this is just a product of Unity and/or my graphics card, but is there a way to alter that?

Mess around [23:35] Matic`Makovec: it just gave me info on how to use it [23:35] What exactly did you type? [23:35] edbian, right, thanks for the response btw. I also found this right clicking the desktop however I've set all fonts to about 11/12px and the location bar is unaffected. I should mention this is Chrome btw. On my friends systems though the URL bar in Chrome looks very normal sized and not so tiny. Perahps its a Chrome/Unity thing or a Chrome/NVIDIA [23:36] edbian sorry had to boot into linux. it's stuck at "setting uodate "flip_left_edge" [23:36] Matic`Makovec: sudo mount /media/Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition/NWN Diamond Edition.iso [23:36] iankp: chrome running fine under unity with nvidia here.

[23:41] CyborgSmurf, well did this work? [23:41] m1dn1ght: from the setting up nfs stuff. By default, portmap only binds to the loopback interface. To enable access to portmap from remote machines, you need to change /etc/default/portmap to get rid of either "-l" or "-i 127.0.0.1" [23:41] Chii, are you connected to the internet by some other way? [23:41] okay here's the screenshot, location bar look unusually small to anyone else? http://i.imgur.com/oO1kP.png [23:41] Has anyone had any problems with Natty 11.04 not going to sleep/suspend after upgrading from 10.10?

[23:42] is it possible to format a partition, say /dev/sda4, and keep the same number "4" for the new partition (and not 8 for instance if I already have /dev/sda7 on my system) ? [23:42] iankp, yeah but grub isnt all that [23:42] but it works [23:42] its really basic [23:42] Im poking about on the forums atm but am still having trouble figureing out which if any of the fixes I should attempt first [23:42] which makes it good [23:42] Chii, install firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter [23:42] moses: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:44] acid, how to write it for columns? [23:44] iankp, Yes I believe so [23:44] Matic`Makovec: same output [23:44] CyborgSmurf, still, I do not know what kind of output [23:45] bahaa: for your specific problem, try a dynamic table, it'd be easy [23:45] edbian: hmm where is this window decorator plugin? i appear to be missing it :( [23:45] acid, for two cells it gave me "True":( [23:45] edbian: regarding my screenshot, does this location bar look a but unusually small to you? http://i.imgur.com/oO1kP.png [23:45] Philosoraptor, in ccsm ? [23:45] Matic`Makovec: where can I paste the output (I guess its too much to paste in here) [23:45] www.pastie.org for example, CyborgSmurf [23:45] acid, where can I find how to do it? search google for dynamic tables? [23:45] iankp, just restarting [23:45] bahaa: yep [23:46] iankp, It does look very small. Maybe the settings are in chrome itself??

[23:47] iankp, Maybe you can make the font bigger in chrome [23:47] Chii :D [23:47] Matic`Makovec: but this is all I get after typing in the one you showed me [23:47] Those broken packages keep me from installing just about anything via apt-get it seems [23:48] ouch [23:48] Okay removed it... not sure how that really helps me but yeah xD [23:48] edbian: there are some font settings, however i don't see any settings that define the font of the application itself (as opposed to the fonts from rendering of pages) [23:48] would it work to reinstall ubuntu completely? [23:48] Chii, It was just a package wastingspace. It made very little difference [23:48] iankp, Mmm, yeah IDK [23:48] Ah haha okey [23:48] CyborgSmurf, I wouldn't mind seeing what ls /home/cyborgsmurf/Desktop/Neverwinter\ Nights\ Diamond\ Edition/NWN\ Diamond\ Edition.iso and ls /media/ISO/ says [23:48] Also yeah I get this when I do grep: lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 [23:48] 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01) [23:48] the fonts on linux right now are kinda giving me a headache, literally [23:48] Altogether with the mount command [23:48] How do i find what devices are on my computer? like drives? im trying to mount one using Terminal [23:49] I am sorry, didnt mean to spam!

[23:51] eliam: That instruction was under a different section of the guide, so I wasn't sure if it applied to the nfsv4 setup [23:51] P05TMAN, You do that on the router too [23:51] Afteraffekt, what is it? [23:51] Now will I have to restart it using modprobe when I restart it or should it do it automagically? [23:51] ow do i find what devices are on my computer? like drives? im trying to mount one using Terminal edbian [23:51] Chii, It will now work. [23:51] Afteraffekt: what do you mean "how i find what devices are on my computer"? [23:51] Afteraffekt, sudo fdisk --l [23:51] Thank you edbian <3 [23:51] Chii, hahahahah <3 no problem [23:52] m1dn1ght, if nfs is using portmap, I'm guessing it does. *guessing though* :-) [23:52] Now brb whilst I jump on the network [23:52] m1dn1ght, I mostly just use samba, as I can access from most devices. [23:52] edbian: ok so now i see the full window i just cant move windows now [23:52] edbian, they are ROM drives [23:52] edbian, that showed nothing [23:52] Philosoraptor, I'm not sure ... restart? [23:53] Afteraffekt, it should have at least showed your HDD's ? [23:53] what is the . directory ? [23:53] THer arent HDD [23:53] Afteraffekt, ROM drives? REad only memory [23:53] They are rom, and ram [23:53] nerdshell: huh? . directory doesnt exist afaik [23:53] randomly accessed memory? [23:53] nerdshell: where you saw it? [23:53] yes [23:53] edbian: For ad hoc? Pretty sure ad hoc is to join one or more pcs on a private network using the wireless signal they push [23:53] nerdshell, directories that start with a . are hidden. As in .gnome [23:53] No router [23:53] and Read Only Memory (but wriatable) [23:54] emap: try a ls -a in your home directory, the first is . the second is .. [23:54] nerdshell: if you cd to them you get back in previous positions [23:54] <\rainman\> is there a way to use apt-get or aptitude list every file belonging to a package ? [23:54] P05TMAN, I'm pretty sure you still set that on the router. IDK [23:54] \rainman\: dpkg for that [23:54] nerdshell: like in /home/bla bla cd .. gets you in /home [23:54] edbian: i just did and didn't change anything. still can't move windows [23:54] Does anyone know how to install 11.04 with gnome? [23:54] \rainman\: dpkg -L packagename [23:54] edbian, im trying to find a block that is usually mounted with fstab [23:54] eliam: Still hanging on the client I'm afraid [23:54] nerdshell, . means 'the directory I'm in right now' .. is the dir above that [23:54] <\rainman\> maco: thanks =D [23:54] rosco_y: gnome is included. just choose it at the login screen [23:54] Philosoraptor, I'm not sure [23:54] Afteraffekt, A block? [23:55] maco: :) Thanks! [23:55] Afteraffekt, I have no idea what you're talking about anymore [23:55] Matic`Makovec: ls = NWNDE.iso (I changed the name) [23:55] edbian: yes, but what's the utility of . ? [23:55] Ubuntu1010 doesnt see my MP3 as an mp3 what can i do? [23:55] There we go [23:55] nerdshell, to do things like ./folder [23:55] Wireless at last! [23:55] Chii, :D That was easy [23:55] If anyone is available to help a first time Linux user with some Ubuntu install issues, please send me a message. Ubuntu freezes during install. [23:55] CyborgSmurf, basically your pwd is /home/cyborgsmurf in which you have NWNDE.iso? [23:55] Chii, what was so hard about it? [23:55] Indeed haha [23:56] I have no idea >.> [23:56] m1dn1ght, hmmm, just scan read that guide, I think you're correct about that bit maybe not applying... [23:56] Chii, :D [23:56] I think maybe I clicked the wrong button === max is now known as Guest76498 [23:56] as it was installed and I didn't noticed the networks [23:56] m1dn1ght, tried an nfs client on the server? [23:56] Chii, hahaha. Well now it works [23:56] Indeed [23:56] cusith: freezes with no error or anything that may let you guess something's wrong? [23:56] Ubuntu1010 doesnt see my MP3 as an mp3 what can i do? [23:56] Chii, It was the modprobe that made them show up and my other commands LO [23:56] :) [23:56] Ah [23:56] Where can I find a JPEG decoder or some image forensics program for Ubuntu? [23:56] Matic`Makovec: what? [23:56] ubun: do you have codecs installed [23:56] edbian, thanks anyways ill find it [23:57] so I do have to use modprobe to start it up? As for doing the sudo-apt get install bit... it turns out it was already installed hehe [23:57] CyborgSmurf, what part of my question is "what"? [23:57] zvacet: codecs? [23:57] No error message. A window comes up asking to connect to the internet to download update, and nothing happens, the loading symbol just keeps on turning. [23:57] I also disabled the default drivers that came with the laptop for the wireless [23:57] Chii, You will not have to do modprobe again [23:57] Hope that doesnt bite me in the arse later [23:57] zvacet: the restricted stuff? [23:57] eliam: As in have I tried to reverse the roles and connect to the a share on the client machine from the server? [23:57] Thank goodness [23:57] Chii, restart now and see what happens [23:57] !medibuntu | ubun [23:57] ubun: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:57] Matic`Makovec: pwd = password (why would I need to type in a password?) [23:57] Im almost afraid :3 [23:57] cusith: please report here all your install process (if you did anything besides going on next next yes ok whatever) and your system specs [23:57] lol [23:57] Ill do it later xD [23:57] Chii, I can help if it doesn't work [23:57] m1dn1ght, no, just connect from the server to the server....just to check the config is working on the server. [23:58] True haha [23:58] CyborgSmurf, type pwd in shell and you'll find out what it is. Type exactly those three letters: "pwd" [23:58] Also when I reboot Ill be coming on my registered nick Elda [23:58] eliam: Ah - I see what you're saying. Let me try [23:58] Chii, k [23:58] zvacet: i dont think i do, let me do my homework on that so i know what it all does.. [23:58] m1dn1ght, rules out some complications... [23:58] CyborgSmurf: Print Working Directory [23:59] ubun: it will install w32 codecs so that should work [23:59] Matic`Makovec: /home/cyborgsmurf/Desktop/NWNDE [23:59] CyborgSmurf, see now?
