=== Mos_ is now known as Moszor [00:00] Right, in here you've got...what? NWNDE.iso? [00:00] does anyone know if there's an "about:buildconfig" (firefox) type thing for chromium? [00:00] Matic`Makovec: yeah, sorry about that [00:00] edbian: just enabled resize and move in ccsm and it works now thanks for your help! [00:01] hi! i have a problem with my touchscreen. it accepts inputs with my finger but after i release my finger from the screen the cursor jumps to the upper left corner of the screen. is there any solution for that? [00:01] sudokill: here you have em all about:about [00:01] Philosoraptor, You figured it out! :D [00:01] Perfect thank you! [00:01] emap cheers for that [00:01] Matic`Makovec: btw I changed the name of directory (easier without the spaces and length) [00:01] It now works as it should only requiring me to activate the wireless switch (fn + f2) [00:01] if I install ubuntu, can I uninstall unity? I'm trying to save space as I'm installing it to a 4gb flash drive, and I'd like to install an alternative minimal desktop interface for the very few times I need to manage it via gui [00:02] sudokill: welcome [00:02] The laptop has an Intel i7 820qm processor 6GB RAM, ATI 4870m gpu, Dell 1520 wireless card. Installing from USB flash card. Installation goes smoothly until the step where it allows you to install internet updates and third party mp3 software. It's the step just before it lets you select the HDD you wish to install to. I have tried connecting to my network with both ehternet and wifi, but [00:02] after I click "next" nothing happens. The mouse cursor does an infinite loading symbol. [00:02] * Elda is Chii [00:02] exit [00:02] cusith: oh a dell, love em [00:02] cusith: ok , what system are you on now? [00:02] CyborgSmurf, argh. Would you please answer my question? You're currently inside /home/cyborgsmurf/Desktop/NWNDE where you have NWNDE.iso? [00:02] So i have a machine using the newest nvidia binary drivers. I have a second card that requires the OLDER nvidia drivers. is there a way to make these 2 cards work together to get dual screen? [00:03] A desktop separate from the Alienware. [00:03] edbian: just now whenever i make a change in compiz the top bar in unity gets messed up and all i can see is black with white lines though everything else works [00:03] ubuntu natty isn't loading my disk driver on boot, older versions did. console output: http://kwzs.be/~kevin/xen-natty-boot.txt [00:03] cusith: yes i meant operating system sorry [00:03] Matic`Makovec: yeah, but when I typed the command I was in my home directory? (sorry, Im a newbie) [00:03] also the installer didn't load the network driver, although it found the disk [00:03] /msg nickserv RyanGreene freenoderyan!1 [00:03] !identify | ry_ [00:03] ry_: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [00:03] CyborgSmurf, no need to apologise for anything. I only need your answers. [00:03] Windows 7. [00:04] eliam: I am able to mount the share from within the server, yes. [00:04] windows 7? [00:04] emap, ah no buildconfig tho [00:04] cusith: ok, are you able to use the live session? [00:04] CyborgSmurf, so let's do it like this: mkdir iso; sudo mount -o loop NWNDE.iso iso/ [00:04] sudokill: no, hardly some informations at about:version [00:04] edbian: like the icons are still there if i click the top left i get the app launcher thing just the graphics are screwy is there a command to restart it so i dont have to restart my comp every time? [00:04] What happens with this, CyborgSmurf ? [00:04] edbian it all works well! Thanks again for the help xD [00:04] I'm sorry, what do you mean by live session? [00:05] m1dn1ght, ok, at least that is working... [00:05] emap, i wanted to double check the cflags were used when i compiled it [00:05] cusith: when you load it up you re given the choice to "try ubuntu without modifying your pc" (or something like that) can you do it? [00:05] any nfs server logs? [00:05] emap, dont matter tho [00:05] I will try. [00:05] any ideas? this should be a very simple thing to work around at least, if not fix the actual bug [00:06] sudokill: sorry im not that informed, only thing i was able to share was that , not really that informed about chromium [00:06] Matic`Makovec: it got mounted as a CD on my desktop [00:06] CyborgSmurf, now...isn't that just what you wanted? [00:07] cusith: are you able to do it right now? [00:07] eliam: "sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.168.0.10:/ /home/m1dn1ght/mnttest/" is the command I run from the server to mount the share (where the ip address is the addy of the same machine I'm on) - strangely, when I changed that ip address to 127.0.0.1 or localhost - it wouldn't mount [00:07] CyborgSmurf, I take it you can browse it now [00:07] Matic`Makovec: Yes, thanks [00:07] Yes, It is loading off the USB as I type. [00:07] cusith: perfect [00:07] emap: And is running fine. [00:07] cusith: are you on live right now' [00:07] Matic`Makovec: Do I need to type this everytime I want to play the game without a CD? [00:08] CyborgSmurf, well you can have it permanently mounted [00:08] Or you can just copy it's contents to harddrive [00:09] emap: I'm sorry, I do not know what "live" is. [00:09] hello [00:09] cusith: live = try ubuntu without installing [00:09] Matic`Makovec: okey, thanks for helping me === Nick is now known as Guest77370 [00:09] emap: Yes, it is running the os. [00:10] cusith: please lets try and stress it a bit, are you able to open firefox? [00:10] m1dn1ght, and do you have a firewall on that host? [00:10] I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Latitude D630 laptop for the first time and I can't get the wireless internet to work. Me = LinuxNoob [00:10] emap: Yes. [00:10] if I install ubuntu, can I uninstall unity? I'm trying to save space as I'm installing it to a 4gb flash drive, and I'd like to install an alternative minimal desktop interface for the very few times I need to manage it via gui === Guest77370 is now known as Chiawalla [00:11] cusith: please see if under "more applications --> installed applications" you have something named "install ubuntu" [00:11] do I need like a driver or something? [00:11] roasted: yes you can [00:11] emap: I do./ [00:11] or should the wireless just work? [00:11] emap, will ubuntu crap itself if I do? [00:11] cusith: please start it and see if the install process hangs [00:11] roasted: not supposed to, whats your graphic card? [00:11] what's the difference between "hostname" and "hostname -fqdn"? [00:12] which one I set when installing ubuntu? [00:12] eliam: Nope - only whatever comes as default in 10.04 server edition. Haven't installed any additional firewall packages. Like I said before though, I haven't opened any specific port for nfs [00:12] emap, I'm not sure. It's an onboard one and its in mid-install right now [00:12] roasted: do you even know the brand? intel ati nvidia? [00:13] emap, I'm not sure. It's an optiplex 330. onboard, so I asume intel. [00:13] emap: Okay, I'm at the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" window. I selected "download updates while installing" and "install third party software". I then selected "Forward". As of now the mouse cursor is looping the loading animation. [00:13] m1dn1ght, you could try telnet'ing from the client to the server on that port to check traffic can get through... [00:14] roasted: wow all dell users tonight, im in heaven, yes it should be an intel gma , not sure if the 330 uses arrandale ones or sandy bridge, in that case ubuntu is supposed to work with or without unity, to remove unity you can simply remove anything which has such name from synaptic then choose "ubuntu classic" on login and ubuntu will start without unity [00:14] emap, this thing is a pentium dual core, so its a tad bit older. [00:14] cusith: you should try without downloading updates and 3rd party software and see if it works, if it still doesnt we ll try with an alternate install [00:15] eliam: which port? [00:15] roasted: fantastic, just have to hope that your video card is supported, please give me a second to look your computer up [00:15] how do i switch to a virtual desktop using the keyboard. (ubuntu 10.04) [00:15] m1dn1ght, 2049 at a guess [00:15] emap, I just dont want ubuntu to crap itself if I remove unity. I'm quite happy with xfce or some other minimal gui [00:16] roasted: they will all work with all intel integrated cards, you may have problems using 3d with the newest ones (sandy bridge) and some other old gma which werent directly manufactured by intel, im just checking if the old one is your case, but it appears not to be that [00:17] roasted: i actually used ubuntu without unity on an intel gma hd and it all worked perfectly [00:17] emap, so if I apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and apt-get remove unity, it'll be fine and won't chit itself? [00:17] emap: It looks as though it is hanging still. [00:17] m1dn1ght, also, try... rpcinfo -u 192.168.0.10 nfs [00:17] roasted: no it wont, as far as i can tell (experience) xfce wont give you issues with any intel card [00:18] m1dn1ght, sorry, make that rpcinfo -t 192.168.0.10 nfs [00:18] cusith: one alternative is try with an ubuntu alternate install, less resources consuming and supposed to work most of the times, do you feel like trying it? [00:19] emap: I looked into trying it, but I could not get it to work off of a USB stick. The DVD drive on the laptop is dead. Is there another installation method or a way to make the alternate installation USB compatible? [00:19] cusith: please give me a second [00:20] how do you boot ubuntu 11.04 into "safe mode" or even into a command prompt? I have no grub menu [00:20] campee: hold down shift key at boot to get grub menu [00:21] thanks rww [00:21] cusith: whats the problem with alternate on usb? [00:21] m1dn1ght, also, rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.10 might shed some light. [00:21] m1dn1ght, that's if nfsv4 uses portmap.... [00:22] hi all [00:23] i have ubuntu 11.04, but i have a problem with skype and webcam [00:23] emap: I configure the USB with the alternate installation ISO with the program "Universal USB Installer" as per the Ubuntu website's instructions. When the boot screen for the Ubuntu options come up, I select "install" and nothing happens, except the laptop makes a beeping sound. [00:23] what is the difference between hostname and the FQDN hostname? [00:23] cusith: does this laptop actually have an operating system? [00:24] how do i access the tools to prevent my computer/ubuntu from automatically shutting down after a few minutes without using it? [00:24] broc it shouldnt do that [00:24] emap: Yes, I am planning on running Windows 7 on one 500GB hard drive and Ubuntu on a second HHD. [00:24] eliam: that returns "program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting" (and version 3, 4) [00:24] broc do u mean monitor turns off? [00:24] cusith: second internal? [00:24] eliam: I can't telnet in at that port [00:24] no, everythign shuts down [00:25] emap: Yes. [00:25] or hibernates, not sure [00:25] as in powers off instantly, or shuts down properly? [00:25] m1dn1ght what about rpcinfo -p 192.168.0.10 [00:25] what's the difference between init 0 and shutdown ? [00:25] i think it shuts down properly.. [00:25] broc r u on battery [00:25] broc sounds like an overheat [00:25] i have ubuntu 11.04, but i have a problem with skype and webcam: with a comand PRELOAD ecc. tha webcam go, but only if i run the comand on the shell. i modified the skype button on unity withthe comand but skype don't go [00:25] no my laptop is continuously plugged in [00:25] cusith: what build you downloaded? 32 or 64 bit one? [00:25] idk then look in power options [00:25] emap: 64bit. [00:26] where are the power options on ubuntu? [00:26] hmm [00:26] system settings i think cant remmber [00:26] cusith: do you feel like trying a 32bit one? perhaps there are some issues with just that build [00:26] in the main option screen [00:26] k found it, thanks sudokill [00:27] what's the difference between init 0 and shutdown ? [00:27] broc look for something like suspend after x time or turn off hdds after x time whatever [00:28] emap: Is Ubuntu 32 bit capable of taking advantage of all 6GB of my RAM? [00:28] Launchpad team for those who use Gnome 3 in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-users [00:28] cusith no [00:28] ya found it, thanks sudokill [00:28] u need 64 bit [00:28] broc n [00:28] p [00:28] cusith: yes if you use a pae kernel it should be capable [00:28] eliam: That returns: http://paste.ubuntu.com/612095/ (nfs is on port 2049) [00:29] cusith u might as well use 64 bit [00:29] emap: Where can I get this kernal and how do I install it [00:29] using custom kernel etc is worse [00:29] cusith: its possible to install it from synaptic [00:29] anyone else experiencing the the restricted drivers [00:29] active but not currently in use? [00:29] Lunixia: yes [00:30] in manpages there are always numbers between () after command names, what do they refer to ? [00:30] Yep Lunixia , what pc and driver are you referring to? [00:30] nvidia drivers [00:30] Does anybody know how to edit GRUB's config file? [00:30] Hpmh, couldn't tell you atm :x [00:31] sudokill:Do you know of any reason the 64 bit variant of Ubuntu would hang on install? If not I don't have many other options, than to use a different kernal. [00:31] Axtra: please take a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:31] cusith bad image burn? doubt it but could be idk [00:31] pae is slightly slower [00:31] Thank you [00:31] Axtra: welcome [00:32] cusith where does it hang? [00:32] as its installing [00:32] ? [00:32] in manpages there are always numbers between () after command names, what do they refer to ? [00:32] nerdshell: i believe they refer to the page number of the man pages,,,, [00:32] nerdshell: please make an example [00:32] sudokill: At the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" window. After I select "forward". [00:32] have u tried the alternative iso? [00:33] m1dn1ght, that should all be working, sorry. What's your mount command again? [00:33] Why is it that it mentions that the 32bit version of Ubuntu is preferred to the 64 bit? [00:33] sudokill: Cannot get it to run from USB drive, I select install ubuntu, and all the computer does is beep. [00:33] Compatability issues? [00:33] Elda, pretty much yeah [00:33] emap: man shutdown ---> line 24 : runlevel (7) [00:33] woodworks: what do you mean ? [00:34] emap: Thank you for your input. [00:34] Ah; I see.

It disconnects sometimes and doesn't reconnect. Is there a way to set it up to reconnect when it gets disconnected? [00:40] socomm: what are you actually trying to do? changing the runlevel would either make it shutdown, go to single user mode, or reboot, because all other runlevels are the same [00:40] eliam: yah - I did. Am I right in thinking the IP in the server's exports file should be the client's IP? === surge is now known as surgeterrix [00:40] Ordinarily it's /etc/inittab [00:40] hi [00:40] sudokill: I tried to format the drive I want to install to with the disk utility tool, but I get the error "Error creating filesystem" Under details it says, "Daemon is inhibited" [00:40] anyone that uses deadbeef ?

I'm trying to get a computer to load GDM properly on startup even if it doesn't have a monitor attached so that I can VNC into the computer. The computer is 10.10 AMD64. Does anybody know how to do this? [01:01] I love coming onto IRCs like this one [01:02] The people in this channel are lovely and incredibly helpful [01:02] they usually are axtra [01:02] But there are always people in other channels who are utter bastards [01:02] eliam: Well thanks for all the help my friend. I appreciate it. I think I may have to call it a night on this irritating problem and come at it with a fresh head tomorrow. [01:02] its particularly busy right now [01:02] Where is a good place to get modern laptops with hardware that is supported by Ubuntu? [01:02] AaronDCampbell, most hardware is supported, I would pick a laptop you want then check to make sure its supported by ubuntu [01:02] before you buy [01:02] I know Dell has a few, but they seem to be all their older junk [01:03] oh by "supported" you mean comes preinstalled? [01:03] Gskellig: Is there a place to check by make/model or do you have to check each piece of hardware [01:03] m1dn1ght, no problem. I've just tried installing nfs on my box, locally it works fine. Just setting up a quick virtual machine to connect to it to see if I get the same problems. I'd also try disabling all firewalls too, just in case... [01:03] there probably is [01:03] Gskellig: No, I just meant one where someone else has already checked everything :) [01:03] i don't know specefically [01:04] I was wondering if anybody knew where I can find a guide on getting KDE Ubuntu on an eeePC 901 [01:04] i found a laptop i wanted, and googled "ubuntu on asus ul30vt" and found there were a few issues that were pretty easy to fix [01:04] eliam: Well, I'll stick around for a while longer - just watching a video in another screen :) [01:04] AaronDCampbell: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/09/7-providers-of-pre-installed-linux.html [01:04] Gskellig: I'll try that route instead. [01:04] AaronDCampbell: I've heard good things about System76 [01:04] Thanks m1dn1ght ...I'll check that link too [01:04] AaronDCampbell, i'm sure there is a collection of that information somewhere. [01:05] system76 comes with ubuntu, they are a *little* pricy imo but they are a small company, i've heard great things as well [01:05] <_Tristan> How can I set up a RAID 1 using my root drive, an identical drive (empty), and a gui? [01:05] AaronDCampbell: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/hi91f/does_anyone_use_a_system76_laptop/ [01:06] g3ist89: Thanks. [01:07] <_Tristan> (I'll give you $20 over paypal if you answer my question) [01:07] AaronDCampbell: Like others - I'd say it's just as worthwhile finding models you like and then checking compatibility also - might be cheaper [01:08] I'm trying to update my broadcom driver and the broadcom website says there is a newer version. how do i check the repositories to see if its available through apt-get?

[01:10] <_Tristan> again, $20 to the person who helps me set up a raid 1 [01:11] _Tristan, whats exactly your issue? [01:11] _Tristan: strengthen your Google-fu and save your money ^^ [01:11] Hello! i wrote a script that must be runned as last at startup, so i read on google the steps but it works only same times. can anybody helps? [01:12] <_Tristan> I've got lots of money and I've been working on this for three days with little sleep. My issue is that I have two drives, I'm running on one of them, and I need it mirrored to the second. [01:12] <_Tristan> and I'd like it to be with a gui. [01:12] not sure if thats possible [01:12] you might need to back everything up and start over [01:12] or at the least make an image [01:12] but i'm no expert [01:13] _Tristan, you can try: http://clonezilla.org/ [01:13] have you seen this thread _Tristan? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [01:15] assuming you can have the other drive hooked up to the same PC, it should be relatively simple [01:15] what will tell me in ubuntu what hard drive manufacture and model number?

[01:23] I have a computer at the office that has Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 installed. Sometimes I use this computer remotely (RDP or SSH) and need to reboot into different operating system. To switch from Linux to Windows I just run "sudo reboot" an Windows will load automatically as it's selected as default in grub. However changing back is difficult. The easiest option so far that I have found is to install ext3/ext4 driver and modify gru [01:24] rrykua: your message got cut off at driver and modify gr [01:24] Hey on a fresh install of xubuntu 11.4 with some updates and a few programs, if I open thunar and click my home directory it gives me an error: "Failed to open directory: "user"; Error stating file '/home/user/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected" [01:25] In bash I can list the contents of my home directory, but get the same error if I try to cd or ls ~/.gvfs [01:25] Any ideas? [01:25] IdleOne he meant grub [01:25] i think [01:25] IdleOne: Thanks for telling. Here is the rest: and modify grub configuration from Windows. Is there an easier way?

[01:26] !crunchbang [01:26] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[01:37] It starts doing "raid stuff" as soon as it is set up. [01:39] Hey I'm trying to get my Xubuntu to have the OPTION of running Unity like stock Ubuntu for demonstration purposes. I did an apt-get install unity but when I log in to "Ubuntu" session, no window manager starts. Ideas? [01:40] bluenail, switch to tty1, kill Xorg, run unity, switch to tty7, look at tty1 for errors [01:40] bluenail, That's what I would do [01:41] How to list a file in a directory which has not a specific size ??? [01:41] edbian, run unity from tty1 or from session manager or from failsafe? [01:41] bluenail, Run it from tty1 === Guest36838 is now known as ssfdre38 [01:42] bluenail, I didn't even mention failsafe [01:42] rrykua: http://askubuntu.com/questions/42390/one-click-shutdown-ubuntu-and-load-into-alternative-bootup [01:42] you should have the floodBots fix to have a delay on the invite to this channel [01:43] edbian well, that is how I usually test window managers from command line, so I was unsure, it has been a LONG time since I've played with X much, so I didn't even know you could launch it from a tty without an X session running. [01:43] edbian thanks, bbl (or not if I get any error messages I can make head or tail of!) [01:43] bluenail, I think it will start an xserver [01:43] b44: ls -lh (Can you reformulate question?) [01:43] oh nm, bye [01:44] m1dn1ght, fixed! :-) [01:44] edbian: i think you just put "unity" into .xinitrc and run startx [01:45] m1dn1ght, got the same behaviour, until I fixed the /etc/hosts.allow file on the server [01:45] qin: wanted to know which file in a directory has not the size 56. Solved it by sorting ;) [01:46] m1dn1ght, add "ALL: ALL 192.168.0.0/24" to your /etc/hosts.allow. You might want to check who this allows in the man page, for security, but see if that works first! :-) [01:46] Hey, I'm having trouble re-installing a package. Apparently it wants to run a post-removal script that errors out because it has already removed a file required by the script. I need to tell dpkg to go ahead and forcibly remove the package anyways so I can turn around and install it again. How do I do that? [01:47] pj: double-check "man dpkg" but i think its --force-remove [01:48] anyone else greatly disapointed in natty [01:48] Hi I am trying to install Ubuntu minimal to a Physical HDD which is connected to my PC using IDE cable ....How to add the HDD to VM? [01:48] m1dn1ght, I'm off for a well deserved cup of tea but let me know if it works... [01:48] slgma: !ot [01:48] I mean Virtual Machine [01:48] unity looks like windows 7 with down syndrome, the overlay scrollbars are a joke.....and it messed up my video drivers so they wont work on my led tv anymore [01:48] only does 1024x768 instead of 1920x1080 [01:48] slgma: could you stay away from the comparisons to disabilities please? [01:49] sorry [01:49] thanks [01:49] maco: no --force-remove, but I may just try --force-all, heh [01:49] anyone else experience any nvidia driver issues when upgrading to natty? [01:49] pj: if dpkg won't do it, you can edit the post-removal script to comment the line that removes the file [01:49] not to mention half my friends had to mount their hdd manually to fix the upgrade [01:49] does anyone else have redraw issues on natty with amd? have to resize an app to get current draw of it? [01:49] since it made their computers unbootable [01:50] pj: have you tried just touch'ing the file so it is there for the script? [01:50] cheezit: I think it wants to actually execute the file [01:50] hang on, I'll pastebin the error [01:51] maco geeksmith cheezit: http://pastebin.com/rgCwiF1m [01:51] im on 11.04, how can i increase my resolution past the maximum in the gui configuration program?

[01:53] cheezit: yes, I get the same errors when I try to reinstall === totem is now known as Guest26028 [01:53] cheezit: I'll show you that as well [01:53] VGA is standard. If the driver works with VGA's output requirements and the TV's VGA adapter works with the input requirements it should work. [01:53] pj: if you don't want to edit the prerm script, you could try "ln -s /bin/true /usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2" [01:53] Although that's no comprehensive analysis. [01:53] http://pastebin.com/NK49J7iH [01:53] eliam: trying that now [01:54] slgma, binary drivers often have issues between releases. If you look at BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, it says about removing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Are you actually using the nvidia drivers? [01:54] man natty is so close to putting me off ubuntu, I loved natty but it's so damn buggy [01:54] geeksmith: good idea, I'll give that a try [01:54] slgma - I am using a widescreen monitor an Natty upgrade has made my main drive unbootable - is there a website or forum article showing how to fix? [01:55] I had it working fine before, my resolution was the same size as now, i disassembled/reassembled everything(unplugged and such, didnt actually disassemble my computer)when moving my computer to a different room and i had a much higher resolution [01:55] geeksmith: that worked, thanks, now to see if my problem is actually fixed, heh [01:55] suddenly its back to this small one of 1024x768 and wont allow me togo higher [01:55] whiteda: what has the one (widescreen) to do w/ the other (boot issue)? [01:56] XChat-GNOME 0.26.1 >> “Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.” :D [01:56] whiteda: You'll get much farther by being less vague. [01:56] Is there a way to re-arrange the icons in the unity bar?? [01:57] edbian: grab the iocon, drag it out, drag it to new position [01:57] taglass, Ahhhh, clever [01:57] Alright. At work, i use backtrack. for Personal, i use Ubuntu. They are both Ubuntu in nature, and the question i am asking could be also asked as "how do i do this with Xubuntu and Ubuntu" so this suuport channel IS the place to ask it. What I want to do, is take backtrack, and Build it back into Ubuntu, With all the tools still there. [01:57] anyone? :( === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:57] In short, how do i merge 2 ubuntu bassed distros. [01:57] can i restrict a repo to only look at specific packages?

[01:59] My connection to it did >.< [01:59] ok - I saw slgma comments above about unbootable disk and comment about widescreen - I have both - on my dual boot dell the windows partition on sda is now unmountible according to windows and the natty upgrade on sdb is mot functional either All after upgrading to Natty [02:00] NictraSavios, You're using it to talk to us [02:00] NictraSavios, :P [02:00] Anyway, any awnser to my query. Sorry the typing is sloppy. I'm rather rushed currently. [02:01] NictraSavios, I'd just install the *buntu you want and then install all the packages you want. Apt is pretty good like that. [02:01] Its not that simple [02:01] NictraSavios, why not? [02:01] omg grub wont install to /dev/sda wtf [02:02] lol [02:02] sorry [02:02] Backtracks kernel is optomised for the tools. Its also very stripped down. Only the root user, creating another user is difficult. Its ment to be run, used, logged off. [02:02] The configuration needs to be restored. [02:02] anyway just realized I'm in the wrong place - my upgrade was Kubuntu - I'll look there for help - thanks [02:03] Hello, I have a problem with a fresh install, can I ask for help here? [02:03] So copy /etc? anyway. I'm also askin in their irc, what they did to it so i can reverse it. [02:03] backtrack is not supproted here NictraSavios , try #backtrack-linux [02:03] But i need general Ubuntu support. [02:03] What im asking in a GENERAL Ubuntu question, could be asked between any 2 distros [02:03] How do i merge 2 Ubuntu bassed distros. [02:03] bo ringer here [02:04] wrong channel :o [02:04] pj: glad it worked! [02:04] NictraSavios: That's not really and enduser support question. You might have etter luck on the developer mailing lists. [02:04] s/and/an/ [02:05] NictraSavios, and you should probably define what you mean by *merge*. Like I said, if you installed the ubuntu you wanted, you can install all the tools via apt. [02:06] But what about the configuation. Like th fact that on one, gdm dosent start on load. and the internet isnt connected automaticly [02:06] The network manager isnt even installed. [02:06] Could i copy the /etc from 10.04 (what its bassed on) and install the packages from it, would that work? [02:06] NictraSavios, so uninstall it? And setup the init.d however you want it. The good thing about Linux is you can configure it anyway you like! [02:07] I dont know how to work Init.d, Only init experance i have it with rc.conf under Arch Linux [02:07] i cant get grub to even wrok in ubuntu wow [02:07] just finished installing 11.04. Unity is ggoing to take some getting used to. [02:08] NictraSavios, I'm still a bit confused about the aim though? Take BT and make it more user friendly? [02:08] Any good documentation you recomend? [02:08] NictraSavios: why would you mess with BackTrack? it works perfectly [02:08] My full project is this. Take BT, restore it to a fully Functional desktop, Upgrade it to 10.10, then merge it into Linux Mint 11 [02:08] NictraSavios, man update-rc.d [02:09] cheezit, Because i have to use it as a desktop. Its annoying have 2 distros. One for work, One for personal. [02:10] cheezit, create a non root user, try and use it to watch a movie, graphical login. Try it, its not easy. [02:10] NictraSavios: useradd [02:10] Backtrack linux forums is helping me get it back to functional. One of the devs gave me a change log. [02:11] NictraSavios: change xinit to gdm or similar [02:11] NictraSavios: good for you, and again this is not the backtrack channel [02:11] cheezit, nah, bro, of course. Now what groups, what main group, setup gdm, oh did i mention the logout applet fails to load? The config cdosent work. They are all Ubuntu Questions [02:11] God dangit, read what i said please? after i have it useable, it is for all intensive purposes, 10.04 LTS. [02:12] Can anyone please help me find a copy of the netboot version of Ubuntu 11.04? [02:12] everyone i need your help correct me if i am wrong did [02:12] So then it falls into this channel [02:12] i add sources to my sources.list like this [02:12] ## [02:12] #deb frp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org squeeze manin non-free [02:12] did i do it ryt? [02:12] does anyone have any problems printing after a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04? [02:12] NictraSavios: No, it isn't, and no, it doesn't. #ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official derivatives, not Backtrack or Mint. [02:12] Let me get to the heart of what Im asking without all the backround annoyance. [02:12] crunchbang_noob: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:13] NictraSavios, I'd install 10.04 LTS + the extra packages you want, if you want a decent desktop with some security tools. [02:13] It will be, for all intesive purposes. Since the config and package list will be identacle. even the branding. [02:13] Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal [02:13] NictraSavios, or something newer [02:13] crunch_bang [02:13] When im done, there will be no differance between what i have, and 10.04. So this is the place to ask it. [02:13] :) [02:13] NictraSavios: No, it isn't. Also, it's "intents and purposes" [02:13] eliam: Hey dude - I got it working - thanks for all your help!! [02:13] i feel like i dont really belong here [02:13] crunchbang_noob: then ask in the Crunchbang channel. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives. [02:13] :) [02:13] m1dn1ght, :-) [02:13] NictraSavios: minor correction "intents and purposes" [02:14] Intensive purposes. * I'm typing fast because i want this conversation to be short. [02:14] i did but nobodies answering [02:14] NictraSavios, then just install 10.04 and stop being annoying [02:14] crunchbang_noob: you don't, thats why.. :) [02:14] :) [02:14] eliam: Really appreciate all the help - but I really now must sleep :) thanks again [02:14] lol [02:14] m1dn1ght, no worries. Like I said, double check the security on that hosts thing as I'm not sure who you've *allowed* [02:14] ahehehe this is ubuntus room lol [02:14] crunchbang_noob: they have a forum. [02:14] I cant. Then i will not be able to do any work on it. [02:14] eliam: Yeah - will do - good to know what the root of the problem is at any rate [02:14] byee [02:14] anyway thank you guys [02:14] Your asking pointless information. What you asking me is regardless because im asking about stuff AFTER that. [02:14] NictraSavios: if adding users and groups from the command line presents problems, you have bitten off more than you can chew [02:16] cusith: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ [02:16] How can I increase my screen resolution past what is in the configuration program?

No conversion involved. It's 44.1 Ksps-16 bit CD to a 44.1 Ksps-16 bit .wav file. But it's very slow. [02:18] Ok thanks I'll try that === necromancer`zzz is now known as necromancer === necromancer is now known as necromancer`zzz [02:26] would there be any drawbacks to xrandr --newmode or --addmode if the mode doesnt exist?

[02:27] pie_, doubt it though. Probably just a fuzzy screen and a horrid noise. [02:27] Its LCD btw. [02:28] NictraSavios, My upgrade automatically deselected all the unsupported stuff and marked it as something like '*disabled during upgrade*' [02:28] i have my home folder ecrypted, I removed the Ubuntu installation from what I did the encryption, but i have the passphrase, can I recover the files from other Linux installation? [02:29] Thank you (to all those who here here 20 minutes ago... was that sooo hard? Seriously?) [02:29] NictraSavios, ? [02:29] eliam, I just reinstalled from a CD instead of upgrading [02:29] Nevermind. Just unsupported support channel, who tries to find ways of getting out of helping people. [02:30] and I had a low resolution then IDK what happened and I had a high resolution for one boot, now its back to low. [02:30] so should I try addmode or newmodE? [02:30] pie_, like someone else kind of suggested, I'd check the video driver support. Check there's nothing funny with the kernel drivers for that hardware. [02:31] NictraSavios, Is this just random trolling? [02:31] can I recover my files in my case? [02:31] NictraSavios: You have been told, repeatedly, that Ubuntu is not for unofficial derivatives.

[02:42] Hi everyone. I have a question for you all. Has anyone done an Ubuntu 11.04 minimal install with Gnome 3 successfully? If so, are you experiencing any problems or is everything running overall smoothly? [02:43] Snakkah: GNOME 3 isn't officially supported on 11.04. There's a PPA for it, but it's not stable or recommended by us. [02:43] !gnome3 [02:43] 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. [02:43] elima: screen sharing [02:43] rww, do you have any idea if it WILL be officially supported in the future? [02:44] Snakkah: I think the plan is to have it in 11.10. [02:45] doesn't linux automatically create a home directory for a new added user? i.e. with 'useradd joe' [02:46] should [02:46] doesn't [02:46] l1nuxman: i think adduser does it [02:46] l1nuxman: not useradd [02:46] l1nuxman: depends which tool you use.

[02:57] roasted raid1 is simply a mirror array [02:57] eliam, md0: active raid1 sda1 (0) sdb1 (1). [02:57] webgh0st, right, but this guide said test your array, power off, unplug 1 drive, power up, you should be still working.

[03:01] PCI ID: 14e4:4325 [03:01] Are the repositories for ubuntu-server the same as the main ubuntu version? [03:01] It worked with some haggling under 10.04. [03:01] orbital_, bcm43xx ?? what are x and y ? [03:02] bcm43xg [03:02] orbital_, I am very confident we can get it working. Are you online some other way? [03:02] My lappy is online, and I have a usb key to shift packages across. [03:02] orbital_, I was looking for something like BCM4306 or BCM4311 [03:03] According to the chart on http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices, it's supposed to be BCM4306, but that's not what comes up under lspci. [03:03] roasted, sorry, I'd only be guessing. I gave up on raid when I realised my hardware was fake raid. Is the drive manually mountable? [03:04] orbital_, what does it say under lspci ?? [03:04] eliam, I just realized Ihad the wrong port disabled with my sata ports in bios [03:04] Yeah, lspci says BCM43xG [03:04] eliam, crap. didnt matter. it still failed to mount [03:04] ignore what I just said [03:04] orbital_, You should probably do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access [03:05] orbital_, That is some error. In case it wasn't obvious [03:06] orbital_, If you can get online all you have to do is 2 things. sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [03:06] orbital_, If it really is a BCM4306 is will work [03:06] orbital_, Heck, most of the BCM43XX things work with this method [03:06] I did both the STA and B43 instructions and I didn't get anything. [03:06] orbital_, firmware-b43-installer places firmware in /lib/firmware/b43 [03:06] orbital_, Ok, wanna double check everything is correct? [03:07] I can't even see an 'enable wireless' thingy in the tab [03:07] orbital_, Ok, do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder?

[03:07] lemme check, sec [03:07] orbital_, sure [03:08] yes, I have a b43 folder, and a b43legacy folder [03:08] orbital_, what is in b43 ?? [03:08] orbital_, just tell me 'stuff' or 'no stuff' [03:08] lol bash wont let me cd into it [03:08] lol [03:08] orbital_, ummm... very strange. What is it saying? [03:09] any one know how to list codecs [03:09] theres a command [03:09] permission denied [03:09] !nvidia [03:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [03:09] orbital_, its probably owned by root sudo -i [03:09] sabgenton, do you mean the resticted extras for install. [03:09] orbital_, sudo -i then cd into it [03:09] I'm not shure if its to do with sofia sip or system codecs [03:09] orbital_, It's a very good sign that the folder is there at all [03:09] sabgenton, list codecs in what applicaiton [03:10] orbital_, Did you already follow the guide I linked once? [03:10] sofia-sip [03:10] well I've been screwing around with this off and on for about a week [03:10] well I don't know where it pulls codecs from [03:10] yes, I've followed the guide through [03:10] nit-wit: basicly I want to see what codecs empathy is using [03:10] or can use [03:11] b43 has stuff in it [03:11] orbital_, sudo modprobe b43 [03:11] I found a comand I could grep from but forget what it was [03:11] lost the google [03:11] orbital_, that should turn it on. I'm a little worried that lspci lists it as bcm43xG or whatever [03:11] no result? just goes to the next line [03:11] how did u lose [03:11] it [03:11] ? [03:11] orbital_, Look at the tab [03:11] huh? [03:12] still doesnt even list wireless as an option [03:12] orbital_, No result means that the module was inserted and is working for some hardware [03:12] how do I get the grub menu on ubuntu 10.10?

I just powered the system off and unplugged 1 of the 2 drives and powered up and the drive did NOT mount. is this normal? I thought the other drive should carry on. [03:13] I think I may have deleted wlan0 [03:13] ? [03:14] webgh0st, that tells it only to scan with wlan0 [03:14] oh ok [03:14] orbital_, from /etc/init.d/networking?? [03:14] webgh0st, sure [03:14] orbital_, we like, need that [03:14] hehe [03:14] orbital_, :) Do you remember where you deleted it from? [03:14] roasted, yes, it will often refuse to mount without the --degraded option [03:14] paperboy, at the login window choose your name then in the dropdown below is a desktop choice [03:14] lol nope, didn't go that deep into the rabbit hole [03:14] lolyes [03:15] escott, what would happen if one of my drives died right now? Would the other still continue to run? [03:15] any deletions were through the administration menu [03:15] orbital_, nope to what question? I asked a couple [03:15] orbital_, What administration menu? the little icon in the panel?? [03:15] system: administration: network tools? [03:16] or edit connections [03:16] one of the two [03:16] roasted, you can mount degraded but it is configured to refuse to do so, to make sure you are aware you are running in degraded mode [03:16] I dont get any dropdown menu.. only asks for password and thats all [03:16] roasted, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootDegradedRaid and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/214054 probably some others, the first is the most informative [03:16] Ubuntu bug 214054 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "degraded raid partitions will not mount at boot time (dup-of: 120375)" [Undecided,New] [03:16] Ubuntu bug 120375 in mdadm (Ubuntu Hardy) "cannot boot raid1 with only one disk" [Medium,Fix released] [03:17] escott, I understand. But I'm speaking from the already-booted-up standpoint. If I have a drive die right now across my raid1 array... do I lose the entire mount? Or would it continue to work on the still running drive? [03:17] paperboy, is there a panel on the botton? [03:17] Hello, does anyone know what the current kernel version is in Natty? [03:17] *bottom [03:17] just saying that when I did the scan all I saw was lo and eth0 [03:17] roasted, it can work as raid1 degraded, and you can add another drive at a later point with mdadm and it will copy the missing data over to the mirror [03:17] 2.6.38-8 [03:17] yo [03:17] escott, that would go through the sync process again, correct? [03:18] just shows my name and password field and also i can choose OTHER [03:18] roasted, yes [03:18] orbital_, I'm not sure. my /etc/network/interface does not have a wlan0 entry. The edit connections things just lists networks not the actual device. mmm, maybe we just need to restart [03:18] ok, I'll restart it [03:18] pmp6nl 2.6.38-8 [03:18] 2.6.38-9 on mine [03:18] escott, appreciate your info. I was really worried because the ubuntu guide I read said to test the array by unplugging a drive and powering up. so when it didn't work I was like, what the? [03:18] ohhh [03:18] i see it [03:18] thanks [03:18] nit-wit thanks! [03:18] orbital_, talk to me when you get back so I know you're back [03:18] thanks [03:18] pmp6nl, your welcome. [03:19] edbian, we're back up [03:19] orbital_, you already restarted? That was fast [03:19] its a fresh install, nothing on it [03:19] roasted, right i understand why they advise that, but its not particularly helpful without walking someone through the whole degraded mount/reassemble process [03:19] orbital_, what is the output of sudo ifconfig -a ? it should list all network interfaces, we're looking for wlan0 [03:20] escott, the same guide has commands to stopping, starting, removing, and adding drives to the array. it sounds very informative, I just had no clue it would refuse to mount degraded arrays. whcih si smart in my opinion, I just wish I had known [03:20] edbian, no entry for wlan0 [03:20] only lo and eth0 [03:20] roasted, the main concern is you don't want someone booting degraded raid for months and not realizing that one of the drives died, because it transparently falls over to the backup === coilbucker1 is now known as coilbucker [03:20] orbital_, ok, hang on. I have to research. Can you pastebin the output of dmesg ?? [03:21] roasted, so right now its rather obnoxiously "loud" about the failure [03:21] escott, that's perfectly fine - as long as the wya its booting up (failing with only 1 drive) is normal. [03:21] my wireless was eth0 in arch linux I never knew if that was right or not [03:21] edbian, with a little copy paste action, yes [03:22] edbian, 2 mins [03:22] escott, which, now that I know why, it makes sense and I prefer to keep it that wya [03:22] orbital_, k [03:23] orbital_, lshw -C network would be great to see as well :) [03:23] edbian, I'll do both [03:23] ok just loaded natty on a lsi megaraid 12TB raid 5, when it boots I get "error out of disk, no suitable mode found, no video mode activated" If I just wait it boots on up...should I worry about those? [03:23] orbital_, Ok. I'm on the edge of my seat! :P [03:24] Anyone think more customization options are coming for the unity dock? [03:25] edbian, glad you're having fun! I just want my internets! lol [03:26] Andy50, those sound like completely different issues. the last two are from the bootloader?/plymouth?s attempts to identify the appropriate screen resolution. maybe the first has something to do with the raid5 and the size of the disks? [03:26] Andy50: The "out of disk" means that with a future update booting could fail entirely as you have a buggy BIOS which can't properly handle large disks. [03:26] Hello [03:26] i need s lil of help :P [03:27] Andy50: To work around your BIOS's limitation create a small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive. [03:27] it has 5 3TB drives [03:27] orbital_, well? [03:27] someone knows how i can change click fomat for 24h to 12h ? [03:27] they are all connected to the raid card [03:28] I dont understand.. the i select Ubuntu classic no effects .. it loads with nice black skinnning .. and then a minute after it disappears and its naked again [03:28] Andy50 thats a lot of storage :) [03:28] edbian, http://pastebin.com/CpFww84y [03:28] yep, updating the old server that was only 4.5tb and is now 4.5 years old [03:28] edbian, and http://pastebin.com/ntKkcjj5 [03:29] cegope just click the time in the panel then select clock [03:29] cegope it will say 12 hour format or 24 [03:29] webgh0st yup i try this but didnt work [03:30] same with sudo gedit /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_XX [03:30] paperboy, it could be a bad gnome-session. you might try to remove your custom gnome-session from .config, or create a new user and see if things work for that test user [03:30] n replace but nothing :( [03:30] how do i get to those files?

[03:36] edbian, Ok, thanks so much for trying. [03:36] orbital_, Try searching bcm43xG on google. I'm not sure if it really is a card or if it is just a bug that is printing it that way and many people have been fooled [03:36] orbital_, Sorry I coudln't help more!!!

[03:42] paperboy, i always worry that some kind of configuration you might have done to the desktop in unity might prevent classic from working. there are a number of folders in $HOME that contain configuration information including .compiz .compiz-1 .gconf .gconfd .config etc. if you want a fresh start you could remove all those and see if the problems go away [03:42] oh no habla espanol [03:42] pcpower whats wrong with the nexus s?

I'm trying to install a library for vlc (libvlc2) and it says I need dependency A, then I try to install that, and it says I need Dependency B, then I try to install that and it turns out that it is already there [04:00] But apt claims it's not there [04:00] __yhvh__: unless you always want it to go there, no, I'd create a separate script that uses args [04:01] __yhvh__: so you could do like gt 1 or gt 2 [04:01] __yhvh__: depending on the display you wanted [04:01] DinVitamin, it may need a particular version use dpkg -l to see what version you have [04:02] nit-wit i've had this prob 4 a week :( [04:02] DinVitamin: What version of Ubuntu are you using?

[04:13] brandenburg: Good luck. I had the same problem [04:14] DinVitamin: That sounds strange but, ok. So I'm assuming that VLC checks to make sure it's *not* running as root if you try to launch it with elevated privs?

[05:25] hi [05:26] skuzzel: what [05:26] I guess a better question would be, I have my external hard drive set up like a USB ubuntu install stick, can I boot to this ubuntu version and then put files onto my external hard drive? [05:26] skuzzel: you mean how do you install ubuntu? [05:26] hi, upgraded to 11.04 just now. xorg is taking 50% cpu and there's a noticeable display delay whenever i do anything. e.g. letters take a second to show up after i type them. how do i start troubleshooting this? [05:27] skuzzel: unetbootin can reserve space for ubuntu filesystem [05:27] skuzzel: ? how did you mount the drive? [05:27] asoltys: fresh install or upgrade? [05:27] Blue1: upgrade [05:27] celthunder: I'm not sure that I really did mount the drive [05:27] it's just saying that it's reserved space [05:28] asoltys: ahh. upgrades can sometimes be problematic. === necromancer`zzz is now known as necromancer [05:28] is unetbootin like a partitioner?

[05:30] I geuss I have another question, if I install ubuntu to an external hard drive will that significantly limit it's ability to function as an accessible hard drive in mac/windows? [05:30] asoltys: remember rename mv -- don't just delete it. [05:30] skuzzel: windows does NOT see any linux partitions at all [05:31] Blue1: yeah your right, I would have to partition the hard drive for sure, I wonder if that's worth it [05:32] skuzzel: i have a bootable linux (with x) on a usb flash drive - works great [05:32] Blue1: me too, I'm on it right now [05:32] hi [05:32] skuzzel: linux2go!

[06:36] First try a purge [06:36] sudo apt-get install --purge packagename [06:36] downloading 400mb of packages at modem speed is pain [06:37] scratch that [06:37] it's [06:37] sudo apt-get purge packagename [06:37] PseudoGou, ok i get it let me try it [06:38] PseudoGou: sorry it's not in /proc where i remembered it, google thinks i dreamed up the whole kconfig thing :( [06:38] dangergrrl: I'm checking menuconfig I will tell you [06:38] Hello... [06:38] albertolempira: Then install with sudo apt-get install --force-yes packagename [06:40] dangergrrl: ah make menuconfig says "using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.38-8-generic" so that might not be it.. checking... [06:40] Nowaday I am studing ubunt... [06:40] In a study time I have question what is.. [06:40] PseudoGou, i get the same error http://pastebin.com/UQMp7FSP [06:41] In root, there have .config/Trolltech.conf [06:41] wierd, all i found was _A_ rejecting a patch to put .config in procfs [06:42] Hey guys, no luck on LXDE channels: anyone know how I can reload lxpanel and/or its config file via a command, just a refresh command, not a kill/restart?? [06:42] In google searching I couldn't find answer.. [06:42] you need make-kpkg, PseudoGou [06:42] This information can be extracted from the kernel [06:42] image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as [06:42] input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel. [06:42] It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading [06:42] /proc/config.gz if enabled (below). [06:42] PseudoGou: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:43] aha, it's just not enabled on default ubuntu (or sabayon) kernels [06:43] albertolempira: I'm stumped. Let me see what I can find. [06:43] (i'm running both right now) [06:43] dangergrrl: Is it not? Let me try the script [06:44] Also what is this sabayon kernel? What does it add? [06:44] have any of you guys gotten Unity to work on vmware? [06:44] no, i have no /proc/config.gz on either [06:44] sabayon is just another linux distro :) [06:44] MODspartan: Try Virtualbox instead, it's got better 3d support. [06:44] PseudoGou, ok thanks! I'm looking for a solution too, that's why i think it might be some sort of config file [06:44] Unity works under virtualbox with the 3d acceleration [06:45] awww thanks guys [06:45] MODspartan: i'm seeing it right now with virtualbox [06:45] Unfortunaely Virtualbox' floppy support is broken last time I checked [06:45] Not that anyone uses floppy drives anymore besides me [06:45] well i havent used a floppy for like [06:45] ever [06:45] so i dont think thats a problem for me hah [06:45] i haven't seen a floppy drive in years [06:45] i got a whole bunch [06:46] I transformed a hard drive to a floppy drive this morning (hehehehhehehe - the beauty of oxy-acetylene torches!) [06:46] "Transformed"? [06:47] It *was* an SATA laptop hard drive... [06:47] if i have two gigabit ports, can i dedicate one to a virtual machine. Has someone here done this? [06:47] pythonirc101: sure [06:47] iceroot: how does one do this? [06:48] pythonirc101: depending what you are using, kvm, xen, vbox, vmware [06:48] carefully? [06:48] vobx [06:48] I wouldnt even mind running apache on one ethernet port and everything else on the other in the same os, instead of virtualizing [06:48] pythonirc101: just use a brdiged network and use eth1 for this. for further informations see #vbox [06:49] albertolempira: What happens if you type "dpkg --remove frostwire"? [06:50] PseudoGou, dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching frostwire [06:52] is it correct that by default all locale env variables are en_US and only lc_messages is en_US.UTF-8 ? [06:52] (natty narwhal) [06:52] I was trying to fix a "fuzzy" sound while listening to music, and I totally wrecked my sound (was trying to compile latest Realtek driver) what is the easiest way to get back to having at least some sound again? I've gone through and checked reinstall for all the alsa packages I had showing as installed. but that doesnt seem to work. [06:53] albertolempira: Download the .deb manually from the repository for the OLD version you deleted, dpkg -i packagename, and then uninstall it properly [06:53] I am still on Ubuntu 10.10 [06:53] So get the i386 version [06:53] reinstall it with dpkg [06:53] uninstall with dpkg, and then apt-get install the 64 bit [06:53] Karhuton: looks like it [06:53] no idea why it isn't "C" [06:53] why does WINE change the start path of terminal, file manager, others? how to fix it? [06:54] i can't change owner group, Chown -R hmchinh1986 /media/58401577-8ad7-4c07-b644-ae83db2b7927 [06:54] ?? [06:54] dangergrrl: upgrade or regular fresh install? [06:54] (installed with normal english language) [06:55] PseudoGou, I finally did it!, it happens that the actual name of the old "package" was frostwire:i386 so I just did dpkg --remove as you told me with "frostwire:i386" and it removed it, then i tried to install it from the ppa and it worked! Thanks a lot for your help! [06:55] albertolempira: You're welcome!! Good luck and G-D bless! [06:55] Karhuton: fress install [06:56] Karhuton: i could swear P1003.1 says LANG="C" should be default but i was wrong 10 minutes ago, so... [06:57] PseudoGou, you too! [06:57] how do i connect my wifi and wired network at the same time? i want to forward the traffic from my wired through to my wireless [06:58] you will need to enable routing to do that [06:58] MoMo: do you have a wireless router? [06:58] think it is a sysctl [06:59] dangergrrl: thanks, will overwrite using bashrc then. (this breaks terminals with utf8) [06:59] Hello can anyone help me to upgrade a wubi 10.10 installation to 11.04? [06:59] blue1: yes? [07:01] MoMo: depending on the router, you would connect an ethernet cord from the router to your say desktop, and then use the network manager on your laptop to connect to your network - [07:01] dangergrrl: You're right, it does not come by default embedded in the kernel. Looks like I'll have to do some guesswork. [07:01] blue1: -- do you know what i should google for? i'm picking up what your putting down, but not to sure what to google for a tutorial [07:01] dangergrrl: "extract-ikconfig: Cannot find kernel config." [07:02] MoMo: basic router networking? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [07:03] momo: a good first place, would be the site for the manufacturer of your router - or if you have a manual for that, rtfm [07:03] when i try to login to my Ubuntu desktop as my primary user it glitches, screen goes black, and X restarts.. bringing me back to the same login screen. I briefly see console messages about something called Pageant. Can anyone explain this behavior? I added a separate account, and it works fine now, but I can't get into my primary account [07:03] MoMo the document you are loocing for will tell you to either do a sysctl or echo 1> /sys/somepath/enable_routing or similar [07:03] yes [07:04] Operation not permitted , please help me [07:04] dangergrrl, roger that -- thanks! =D [07:04] kinesis: I sorta had something like that - has to do with display resolution [07:04] MoMo: sorry i don't remember more details [07:04] WINE changes it from /home/myname to /home/myname/.wine/drive_c. Where has this path stored? [07:05] but i know routing is disabled by default and you have to enable it [07:05] kinesis: Did this start happening after you installed nVidia drivers? [07:05] i am not using nvidia [07:05] i am using an older laptop [07:05] p3 [07:05] you could try 'linux enable routing' to google [07:05] kinesis: There is a thread about this in the forum. Check there. [07:05] kinesis: something like this? http://pkill-9.com/getting-ubuntu-10-04-video-to-work-with-an-intel-82815-chipset/ [07:05] 2Ci had to make a suid shell to become root for now [07:06] no worries -- just not sure what to google for -- i'll let you know if i have some issues [07:06] its a pentium III lptop [07:06] old junker [07:06] but it works [07:07] i also found getting wifi to work was a hckjob, i had to mv wpa_supplicant to wpa_supplicant.old [07:07] kinesis: i used an old compaq deskpro -- about 10 years old [07:07] it kept trying to spawn it, disconnecting my wireless [07:07] MoMo: i only know because i used an old pentium pro with my dsl modem in dumb mode because i was getting table overflows on the embedded device when using bittorrent, bittorrent is not very nat friendly [07:07] dangergrrl, -- i'm finding a thing that says to do the following commands brctl addbr br0, brctl addif br0 eth0, brctl addif br0 wlan0 [07:07] kinesis: is that on 10.10 or 11.04? [07:08] 11.04 [07:08] kinesis: sadly no experience with 11.04 [07:08] i hate to be dumb [07:08] dangergrrl: the only dumb question is the one not asked [07:08] but how do i disable the damn screen lock in ubuntu? [07:09] i turned it off it the power settings === blueghost is now known as Hu_Shubin [07:09] dangergrrl, try screensaver [07:09] dangergrrl: System/Preferences/Screensaver [07:09] and unity totally hides wherever i would look to disable it [07:09] i have no System, it's Unity :) [07:10] Blue1: that's where i would think to look too [07:10] i broke unity off the livecd in 5 min w/o trying - so I never went further [07:10] just winkey and start typing screen.. [07:10] i'm glad it's a vm [07:11] ubuntu has bugs heh [07:11] i would kill my computer if i used unity all the time [07:11] it runs better than slackware though.. [07:11] kinesis: indeed [07:11] on this P3 [07:11] it utilizes my graphics hardware [07:11] but slackware was better all around [07:12] kinesis: i might switch to debian rsn (real soon now) [07:12] i am a dedicated Slackware fan [07:12] morning! i have removed landscape-client and landscape-common but still see the canonical stats when logging in, how can I remove this (my /etc/motd resets as well when relogging...) [07:12] kinesis: is that debian or redhat based? [07:12] slackware is getting better, has a package system now === Hu_Shubin is now known as blueghost [07:12] Neither, Slack came out before debian [07:12] 1995 [07:12] its one of the original distro's [07:13] What does slack use, Yast? [07:13] what is the terminal command to see what harddrives ubuntu can recognize as working or plugged in? [07:13] kinesis: rpm? [07:13] it uses .txz [07:13] www.slackbuilds.org [07:13] .txz/.tgz and pkginstall [07:13] my wireless is up through wicd -- but how do i bring up my eth0 on dhcp? ... if i use wicd to connect to wired, it disconnects my wireless [07:13] kinesis: I have only used SuSE and Ubuntu -- [07:13] i like slack cuz its simple to set up the way you like it [07:13] more customizable [07:14] I wouldn't trade .deb for anything [07:14] MoMo: yes that is quite normal - one of the other, but not both (mutally exclusive) [07:14] slackware is a SLS derivative isn't it? [07:14] plustax: try sudo fdisk -l [07:14] plustax: I imagine fdisk can do that [07:14] fdisk -l didn't do it for me [07:14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware [07:14] Ah [07:14] kinesis: you know? my first linux was SLS 1.0 [07:14] You have to run fdisk as superuser [07:14] Slackware is NO derivative. It's the ORIGINAL aside from just "source" [07:14] sudo fdisk -l [07:14] Slackware is a free and open source Linux-based operating system. It was one of the earliest operating systems to be built on top of the Linux kernel and is the oldest currently being maintained.[1] Slackware was created by Patrick Volkerding of Slackware Linux, Inc. in 1993. The current stable version is 13.37, released on April 27, 2011. [07:15] kinesis: is the mac os based on bsd? [07:15] plustax, just type mount [07:15] I use Debian derivatives, the package system is unsurpassed by anything else [07:15] Aptitude [07:15] blue1: hmmm then how do i forward my wired out onto my wireless network? [07:15] bluebomber: OS X is next step, with some proprietary BSD code no? [07:15] When Debian is ahead, I download Debian (rare), when Ubuntu is ahead, I download Kubuntu [07:16] as in, it's BSD but not public BSD code.. apple bought it [07:16] plustax, it will show all your mounted devices [07:16] MoMo: maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to do. wired and wireless are 2 different animals [07:16] like BSD/OS or BSDi.. tht was private BSD UNIX [07:16] proprietary [07:16] FreeBSD was what Berkeley licensed for GNU [07:16] kinesis: I had been told it was a bsd derivitive [07:16] yeah slackware is SLS derivative [07:17] YankDownUnder: wikipedia and slackware both say i am right slackware was based on SLS [07:17] Yes Mac OS X is proprietary BSD [07:17] thank you Icornpad2 [07:17] debian ahead? [07:17] BErkeley UNIX isn't 100% free. some versions were made GNU or public, some were private [07:17] kinesis: okay thanks [07:18] Apple bought a private license [07:18] debian is several years behind current on like every package known :) [07:18] #! ftw [07:18] MoMo, just plug your wireless router into your wired router - like me!! [07:18] bsd license says you can make binary only derivatives [07:18] dangergrrl: A while back they were ahead when like Ubuntu was stuck on 9.10 they had a stable release 6.0 with newer packages [07:18] so does MIT license [07:18] dangergrrl: It is rare, but it does happen. [07:18] kinesis: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Gldt1009.svg [07:19] honestly for my boot os i stick to gentoo derivatives [07:19] but the maemo sdk wants ubuntu [07:19] LOL [07:19] or debian [07:19] indows [07:19] lindows [07:19] Backtrack is Slackware I think [07:19] PseudoGou: it's ubuntu [07:19] Is it? Interesting. [07:20] ahh SuSE is an sls deriv. didn't know. [07:20] SuSe is german garbage [07:20] SuSE is SLS derived??? [07:20] wow [07:20] !ot [07:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:20] PseudoGou: I got my teeth on SuSE [07:20] do they still use sls linux [07:20] s/got/cut/ [07:20] Blue1: What does that mean? [07:21] kinesis: no, SLS has been dead for a decade or more [07:21] Blue1: PseudoGou dangergrrl; please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:21] PseudoGou: my first experience with linux, was SuSE [07:21] jussi: agree thanks [07:21] jussi: OK [07:23] so yeah my love for slackware will never die [07:23] REdhat is good too [07:23] get my RHCA , etc [07:25] kinesis, this seems to be offtopic chatter. #ubuntu-offtopic is a more appropriate place. [07:28] I have to run debian every once in a while, or i feel like i am abandoning my beginning roots. [07:30] how do I re-install my sound ? ubuntu 10.10 was trying to fix a fuzzy sound by installing latest realtex driver and it completely broke everything. [07:31] hello all [07:31] Dracofodder, what is realtex, is that a type of soundcard driver? [07:31] hello demonicact [07:31] sorry Demorion [07:32] Dracofodder: See the sticky Alsa thread on the Ubuntu forums === anonymous is now known as Guest84209 [07:33] app that cracks .zip passwords. is there one? [07:34] gh0st, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-crack-zip-files-password.html [07:34] any one install gnome shell on ubuntu ? [07:35] Demorion: thinking about doing it? [07:35] !gnome3 | Demorion [07:35] Demorion: 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. [07:36] Demorion: all you need - watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haCHS2LUH9Q [07:36] ok thx [07:36] for all [07:40] My friend is having an issue. He'll be on in a moment but ill start us off. His harddrive seems to be working mechanically. Spinning, etc. But Ubuntu or windows wont recognize his drive. I had him fdisk -l and mount and there is no recognition. I eliminated the possibility of a bad IDE cable as well as driver issues in windows. What can we do to get his drive working and recognized? It has gigs of his life work worth of project files and MUST b [07:40] e recovered. (he's a musician) [07:40] where o where did the xorg.conf go? [07:42] hello [07:42] hi [07:43] go to sleep [07:43] plustax: Did he run fdisk -l as superuser? [07:43] sudo fdisk -l [07:43] PseudoGou, he did indeed. [07:43] ls [07:43] didnt recognize his drive [07:43] it recognized his other drives. [07:44] plustax: Then this is not a Linux problem [07:44] Hello everyone. I've recently installed 11.04 and my volume is really low. This has never happened to me before. Any thoughts? [07:44] Does it show up in the BIOS POST? [07:44] PseudoGou, doesnt show up in the BIOS post [07:44] codeminer: Look for a "PCM" slider and turn it up [07:45] alsamixer and get up buttons [07:45] Hello I have been trying to to install ubuntu on a hdd containing 3 partitions, one of which contains the installation media [07:45] codeminer, hit the winkey, and start typing sound.. you should see sound as a choice [07:46] Let me offer sincere thanks I jordan_u, thank you verry much [07:46] PseudoGou PCM is already at 100%. My volume is usually too loud even at 20% on this laptop. [07:46] The winkey actually does something in Ubuntu? [07:46] hmchinh1986: You're welcome. [07:46] Nothing in Kubuntu [07:46] upon reaching the partitioner the system tells me that I can install as long as I do not make any changes to any partitions , since the partitions are pre-created I go on only to find out the installer still wants to modify the partition [07:46] plustax: If all else fails, maybe you can check channel ##hardware [07:47] PseudoGou, it brings up zeitguest, or however it is spelled [07:47] what am I to do what am I to do [07:47] kind of like gnome-do [07:47] Icornpad2: It does nothing for me [07:48] Icornpad2: But I use KDE [07:48] In 11.04 [07:48] I read that some people had this issue with another kernel version. They recommended opening alsa-base and adding: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack [07:48] Icornpad2: I got 11.04 [07:48] plustax: have you tried the live cd route to see if it recognizes it? [07:48] ubuntu [07:48] New to linux...sudo apt-get isn't finding the software I just downloaded. [07:48] Icornpad2: Kubuntu [07:48] lapion: If you use the "toram" kernel parameter then you can unomount the partition containing the installation media and ubiquity should stop complaining (and if you do want to do any partitioning, including wiping out the partition with installation media, you can). [07:49] Beumac, did it install once downloaded? [07:49] boo, kubuntu [07:49] Beumac: double-click it [07:49] When I double click it, it just opens the archive manager. [07:49] Beumac: so it's not a .deb? [07:50] Sounds like a tar.gz [07:50] well [07:50] Beumac: Giant step back. What software did you just download? :-) [07:50] I downloaded the .deb .tgz and .rpm [07:50] Because I wasn't sure which one I should download. [07:50] Beumac: :D [07:50] run terminal and go to folder when is this packet and write sudo dpkg -i name..deb [07:50] Beumac: "It's so nice you grabbed it twice?" [07:50] logmein [07:50] how much is it usually to take a harddrive that a computer wont recognize to a computer shop and have them recover the data? [07:50] Er, thrice. [07:51] plustax: Depends on how hosed the drive is. [07:51] Jordan_U, the partitioner of the installer said I should be able to. [07:51] Corey, hah ;p [07:51] it seems to be running mechanically. [07:51] But the computer wont recognize it. [07:51] plustax: In BIOS? [07:51] Beumac: easiest would be to double-click the .deb [07:51] lapion: What is the exact message you are reffering to from the installer (or, could you post a screenshot)? [07:52] Beumac: software center should open up for you [07:52] !screenshot | lapion [07:52] lapion: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [07:52] lol agrundner, I use it a lot for work and my phone. [07:52] which one is the correct one to install with? [07:52] corey wont recognize it in bios [07:52] Beumac: the one with the .deb extension [07:52] plustax: Oof. [07:52] plustax: How much is your data worth to you? :-) [07:53] well this is for my friend. [07:53] But a ton. Years worth of cubase band project files. [07:53] plustax: How much is the data worth to your friend? [07:53] plustax: Expect roughtly $2K USD. [07:53] Roughly, even. [07:53] Talk to ontrack or some other data recovery specialist. Computer repair shop can only make it worse at this point. [07:53] holy fuck. he's screwed. [07:53] Firstly, please mind the language. [07:54] eh. sorry. [07:54] plustax: Secondly, if his data was THAT valuable he'd have backed it up. [07:54] plustax, i bet he backs up from now on out [07:54] drivesavers will get the data.. but they are insanely expensive [07:54] It's a good thing you've got a robust backup policy in place and can restore from backups though! A lot of people with insufficient experience and bad administrative habits would not be in such a good position. [07:54] he didnt back up. He's flipping out right now. [07:54] ^ my snarky answer to such situations [07:54] plustax: Then with all due respect, he's learned a very expensive lesson. [07:54] All drives fail, it's just a question of when. [07:55] what type of RAID was it? [07:55] virion: No RAID at all it seems. [07:55] dang. He's going to cry when I tell him this. [07:55] ouch yeah he's screwed.. drivesavers === Vladislas_ is now known as Vladislas [07:55] KSnapshot won't run while KDESUDO is running, is there a way around this? [07:55] virion: But RAID isn't a backup. [07:55] So does anyone know a way I can have Ubuntu boost my volume? At 100% PCM says the dB Gain evens out to 0.00 [07:55] of course [07:55] Crap, internet crapped out! So which install file is the correct one? tgz deb or rpm [07:55] there has GOT to be a way to get this working. It spins and whirrs like a working drive. [07:55] rpm [07:55] Beumac: deb [07:56] but even in a RAID 5 if 2 drives fail if you have the right controller you can get the Failed RAID back online [07:56] Beumac: rpm is great if you're on CentOS, RHEL, or Fedora. [07:56] virion: Yeah, RAID50 here. [07:56] LSI controllers are the best for recovering multi drive failures [07:56] virion: But again, all data I *really* care about is staged off to other places. [07:56] Thanks core_ [07:56] Corey, [07:56] also reading the controller logs will tell you which drive failed first.. that way you know the order to reseat [07:56] How to a I add latest memtest on BURG ? am using ubuntu 11.04 [07:57] Beumac: be sure also that the file is made for your 32 or 64bit processor [07:57] REK_007: Can't u just replace the ISO? [07:57] Aye, I did =) [07:57] PseudoGou: How do i do that ? [07:57] REK_007: What is BURG first of all? [07:57] corey that is the best way.. daily incremental tape backups offsite === binoy is now known as royale1223 [07:57] no idea virion [07:57] windows or linux doesnt recognize the drive but it makes noise and seems to be working fine mechanically. [07:58] virion: Nah, tape is unwieldly, and you have to pay a service to manage it. [07:58] PseudoGou: its an extended GRUB with logos for the OS [07:58] it is unwieldy but it is much cheaper than say an EMC drive [07:58] Cool, I'll hve to check it out [07:58] REK_007: BURG is not supported here, and GRUB2 has theming capabilities (though admitedly not all of the theming features BURG has). [07:58] virion: Right, but this is for my personal gear. [07:58] REK_007: Back to the topic, I imagine memtest is contained in an ISO somewhere [07:58] Check your grub config file for that location [07:58] Let mee see if I can find it [07:58] ohk [07:59] plustax: It might be whirring. I'd change the power supply connection. Or the whole power supply if you can. Rare the 12 volt power lead is the only one to go. I'm out of ideas after that. [07:59] Can someone glance at my /etc/fstab and explain to me why the last mount wont auto mount, but it will mount manually? http://pastebin.com/hWS3nE7L [07:59] REK_007: /boot/memtest86+.bin [07:59] FishFace, okay [07:59] Jordan_U: I know I just wanted to know how do i update the memtest i will add memtest to it by myself [07:59] So just download the new memtest [07:59] and replace that file with the new one [07:59] Rename it to the exact same name, it should work [07:59] But back it up in case it doesn't [08:00] i have a question if anyone can help.. i'm completely new to linux.. have been using kubuntu for the last few months.. during the upgrade to 11.04 my system failed.. decided to just install ubuntu.. working great for the first day.. though listen music player would freeze a lot.. now listen won't even open.. i've removed and reinstalled and it still won't open.. anyone have any advice? [08:00] PseudoGou: thanks will check it [08:00] virion: Could strace it while opening, see where it dies. [08:00] virion: Probably easier to check the logs though. [08:00] how would i do that? [08:01] virion: Maybe you rcomputer is in disrepair [08:01] ha [08:02] seriously though.. linux has been turning me off.. i've gotten kernal panick too many times, freezing, and a multitude of other issues.. [08:02] im tired [08:02] virion: So go back to Windows XP - this is not meant to be derogatory - but if you're not willing to put a little effort into it, then WinXP is more for you. [08:02] i am willing [08:02] im going to sleep [08:02] Demorion: 'night [08:02] it's still been turning me off to it though.. [08:03] and i'd rather go back to windows HPC server [08:03] and being vague isn't going to help either [08:03] or server 2008 r2 [08:03] virion, if u havent put alot of files on it then reinstall it [08:03] vague? [08:03] guys, i've installed fedora, then restored ubuntu grub, but when i run sudo grub-update, it still doesn't see fedora. what do i do in this case? [08:03] reinstall isn't going to help me find the problem [08:03] virion, google is your friend [08:04] can any body tell how to include slash in sed command.......m trying to copy some path to some other file..but it exclude the slash [08:04] and i've used google. sadly when i had kubuntu i would follow threads that said to use certain commands that when i ran them in terminal didn't do anything [08:04] you pretty much just stated kernel panics without giving any specific information. That's as useful as saying windows crashed on me and I'm sick of it [08:04] can any body tell how to include slash in sed command.......m trying to copy some path to some other file..but it exclude the slash [08:04] i said other reasons such as programs not launching, system freezing [08:04] check the ubuntu forums [08:04] virion: sed 's#/some/path/#g#' [08:04] i got the kernal panick while installing debian [08:05] virion: There's something wrong with your computer [08:05] nothing wrong with the system [08:05] virion: Sorry, it's late :) make that: sed 's#/some/path/#/something/else#g' [08:05] virion: How do you know? [08:05] its just the what music player? [08:05] virion, again.. what programs? or are you just randomly trolling? [08:05] anybody? [08:05] this system has had VMware running fine and server 2008 r2 running fine [08:05] i'm not fucking trolling [08:05] listen music player... just won't open [08:06] !language | virion [08:06] virion: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [08:06] sorry [08:06] virion, try to update it from the command line [08:06] can any body tell how to include slash in sed command.......m trying to copy some path to some other file..but it exclude the slash [08:06] viks: sed 's#/some/path/#/something/else#g' [08:06] i've removed and reinstalled through command line.. how would i update it? [08:06] i don't know much command line in linux [08:06] have you tried to use other alternative programs if listen music player does not work? [08:06] yes.. other programs open.. [08:06] remove and reinstall is windows thinking. that wouldent clean out the users configs either. [08:07] if its a user config issue.. [08:07] virion: Can you pastebin the output of "listen" from the terminal? [08:07] sudo apt-get update [08:07] how do i run a program through terminal? [08:07] what is the command for that/ [08:07] !terminal | virion [08:07] virion: 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 [08:07] just try that update itll update your packages [08:07] type its nam,e virion [08:07] virion: The command to run listen is literally "listen". [08:07] alright i've done that [08:08] Jordan_U: what exactly the command [08:08] guys, i've installed fedora, then restored ubuntu grub, but when i run sudo grub-update, it still doesn't see fedora. what do i do in this case? anybody, please? [08:08] sometimes its sudo ./program [08:08] virion, so you pretty much stereotyped other program(s) not working when its only listen music player program that fails to run. Then kernel panics, what kernel panics? didn't you say it was when it was installing debian? how is debian related to ubuntu? [08:08] viks: The command to run listen is literally "listen". [08:08] ./program is the program to run [08:08] virion: Sorry, I keep getting your nick mixed up with viks' . [08:08] is there anyone here who could help answer a question about tri-booting? [08:08] virion@virion:~$ sudo ./listen [08:08] [sudo] password for virion: [08:08] sudo: ./listen: command not found [08:08] virion@virion:~$ ^C [08:08] virion: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:09] Jordan_U, [08:09] don't flood? [08:09] jibgilmon: ask the question and see. the grub2 docs arew worth reading also [08:09] then just listen [08:09] you pasted more than 3 lines within a few seconds [08:09] its not ./listen its listen [08:09] or maby add a capital L [08:09] bash basics. [08:09] hi guys, is it safe to install gnome 3 on ubuntu 9.04 ? [08:09] i've done listen as well.. but you won't want me to paste what it says [08:09] ./listen [08:09] <_Ray_> Hi :) Where does one find a "package control file", if I wanted to manually edit it to apply a patch? The file is apparently broken. [08:09] virion: *never* run a command using sudo unless you're absolutely sure that the command is supposed to be run as root. (Just seeing a permissions error is *not* enough to know that). [08:09] silvering, yeah [08:10] !pastebin [08:10] 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. [08:10] viks: *never* run a command using sudo unless you're absolutely sure that the command is supposed to be run as root. (Just seeing a permissions error is *not* enough to know that). [08:10] it is _not_ ./listen unless your working directory is exactly the same place where listen binary resides [08:10] EncRyptO and it wont wreck my system ot installed apps? [08:10] Well, I originally had Windows 7 (upgraded from vista), and then I installed ubuntu from wubi. I now want to add xp as a third option, but I didn't do it in order from oldest to newest. Where should I start? [08:10] * Jordan_U should go to sleep with all the mistakes he is making... [08:10] Jordan_U: Nonsense. [08:10] virion, no [08:10] Is anyone else using iwlagn driver for wifi? Do you experience bad performance when transferring large amounts of data? [08:10] silvering, no [08:10] no what? encrypto? [08:10] sorry wrong perso [08:11] I have one question: WHY does upgrading REMOVE ALL contents of /var/lib/lxc?!?!?! [08:11] EncRyptO one last question, after i install it, will it replace my current gnome 2.26 or they will be installed side by side? [08:11] !caps| npmap [08:11] npmap: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:11] Jordan_U : my question is , m trying to copy one path to other file but it is not shoing me slash (/) ...like /var/www it is showing me varwww [08:11] hey everyone, is it possible to specify commandline arguments in .desktop files (like in ~/.config/autostart). Like "~/bin/somecommand somearg1 somearg2" on the Exec= line? [08:11] I'm sorry, I just lost a lot of work. [08:12] silvering, are you installing it from the gnome site? [08:12] SmokeyD: for what? [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/612183/ [08:12] anyways.. that's what happens when i open the program through terminal [08:12] npmap, probably some applications that needed to be upgraded conflicted with original programs or it could be the way the package is made [08:12] EncRyptO i didnt deside yet, but tell me how and what can i expect :) [08:13] iceroot, I have a script that takes commandline arguments. I want to put two different .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart, where the exec line contains this script, and for each desktop file a different argument [08:13] That package is a piece of junk, imo. It should never-ever-ever-ever delete /var/lib/lxc/*. [08:13] silvering, look for the update at the gnome site and they can tell you more [08:13] EncRyptO thanks for now :) [08:13] silvering, it wont erase your files though [08:14] npmap, is the fs that /var or /var/lib sitting on ext3? [08:14] It's on ext4. [08:14] virion: Try running this command in the terminal "mv ~/.config/listen/ ~/.config/listen-bak/" then try opening listen again. (That command will rename the directory containing listen's configuration file, causing it to create a new one). [08:14] will do [08:15] anyone? [08:15] it worked [08:15] why did that work? what command is it? [08:15] is there any way to make ubuntu's password sessions last longer? typing in my password every three minutes is seriously getting old. [08:15] EncRyptO im wondering how to install it side by side with my current gnome from repos [08:15] psycho_oreos: What would you suggest I use for recovery? I never had to recover files until now from an ext*. [08:16] jordan.. where is the best place to learn linux from the beginning.. i feel like i pick up pieces without really understanding [08:16] <_Ray_> Hi :) Where does one find a "package control file", if I wanted to manually edit it to apply a patch? The file is apparently broken. [08:16] npmap, I was about to suggest testdisk had the filesystem was ext3, but testdisk might support ext4 [08:16] celthunder: did you get messages? [08:16] fusiontorch: passwd_timeout in sudoers. [08:16] virion: It worked because listen's configuration file had some type of problem, and as I explained renaming the directory containing listen's configuration will cause listen to create a new configuration directory with default settings. [08:16] silvering, you know the command line? just wondering [08:17] that makes sense [08:17] npmap, rather photorec, not testkdisk [08:17] _Ray_: in the source-packe debian/control [08:17] hello [08:17] psycho_oreos: How about http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ , extundelete? [08:17] some of you that know a good game on linux ubuntu?? [08:18] virion: Which means that you have probably lost any settings you changed in listen (though the old configuration file still exists, to get your settings back you'd need to discover what exactly is wrong with it that is causing listen to fail). [08:18] npmap, I've never tried that tool but you can give it a try I suppose [08:18] thrillonium: SuperTux [08:18] EncRyptO just the basics.. i tryed to add the repo with 'sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gnome-team/gnome3' but it didnt work, and i think that command is not implemented in that version of ubuntu, but i may be wrong (wondering) [08:18] thegoodcushion: i'll try that. ty (: [08:18] the settings are no big deal.. but i would like to know what caused them to go wrong so i could avoid that in the future [08:18] sudo apt-get -s install gnome3 try that its a simulation of download not a download [08:19] silvering, it wont install it but itll run a simulation of the install see if its there [08:19] Couldn't find the package gnome3 [08:20] Corey: Thanks. [08:20] can I "name" a terminal session so that I can tell which is which from the panel?? [08:20] well thanks for your help jordan.. sorry for the language and breaking the rules from the beginning.. didn't mean to.. [08:20] silvering, go to the website gnome.org [08:20] silvering, if its not in the repos [08:20] <_Ray_> iceroot: What is the "source-packe"? [08:20] EncRyptO my browser dimms when i click on download [08:21] i dunno why [08:21] ubuntu 10.10 has it [08:21] * bob3291 waves [08:21] <_Ray_> (iceroot: The package itself is haskell-platform, currently broken in natty. I couldn't find a .deb of it in my system.) [08:21] silvering, from the site? [08:21] EncRyptO yea [08:21] is it possible to have both gnome 2 and 3 installed simultaneously? [08:21] _Ray_: packages.ubuntu.com for the source-package [08:21] <_Ray_> Ah, ok :) Thanks! [08:21] thegoodcushion exactly, thats my question too ;) [08:21] _Ray_: or "sudo apt-get source haskell-plattform [08:22] go to the ubuntu software center under applications [08:22] just a sec [08:22] silvering, type in gnome3 ....just a test on the repos in 9.4 [08:22] thegoodcushion: about supertux....... i don'tthink its a game for me, but ty (: [08:22] np [08:22] <_Ray_> iceroot: And then I suppose there's a way to tell apt to use _that_ package file? [08:23] silvering, but does it download from the site....it should [08:23] _Ray_: dpkg -i localpackage.deb [08:23] <_Ray_> Awesome :) [08:23] _Ray_: apt-get is only reading repositorys [08:23] <_Ray_> Thanks! [08:23] EncRyptO when i click the download button my Opera dimms and almost crashes [08:23] is there a way to upgrade from 32 bit ubuntu to 64 bit??? [08:23] hey any one here know how to configure LIRC or how to use irrecord ? [08:24] are u wireless? [08:24] Pete_: no [08:24] no, cable [08:24] try to run an update on your OS first [08:24] Pete_: you have to reinstall to change the architecture [08:24] Pete_: nope [08:25] ok may i ask what the difference is between the 2? Is the 64 bit faster? [08:25] EncRyptO i have another problem from yesterday.. i canceled instalation of some software through apt (dont remember what) and after that, whenever i try to install something.. it installed it but give back an error for some ttf dejavu extra shits [08:25] ok, totally wrecked my sound, tried to compile an updated alsa driver, and have just gone through the steps on the ubuntu forum sticky for sound issues. Still no joy. I am thinking re-install of whole system as these steps are difficult at best. Seriously, there is nothing simpler than re-compiling???? [08:25] Pete_: the big thing is 32-bit can only address 3.2 gig of RAM [08:26] ahhhhhh ok [08:27] silvering: 1. watch your language, 2. "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [08:27] iceroot thanks and sorry [08:27] then go to the command line to search for the software sudo find / -iname *softwarename* [08:28] iceroot it gives back the same error with ttf dejavu extra and mplayer included now [08:29] psycho_oreos: It's gone. It's gone for good. [08:29] I just ran it and said it didn't find anything at all. [08:31] npmap, chances are that it might be overwritten as when the files were set to be deleted the pointers are removed. Though you maybe able to recover it with some file carving utilities [08:33] iceroot [08:33] Setting up ttf-dejavu-extra (2.28-1) ... [08:33] E: /var/lib/defoma/locked exists. [08:33] E: Another defoma process seems running, or you aren't root. [08:34] and then: [08:34] dpkg: error processing ttf-dejavu-extra (--configure): [08:34] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:34] silvering, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-delete-remove-software-using-apt-get-command/ [08:34] is there a way I can force a reinstall of the whole system via synaptic? or do I need to download the dvd and start and install from disk. [08:34] EncRyptO thanks ill check it now === marco is now known as Guest50835 [08:35] reinstall every single package? why do you think you need to do that dracofodder? [08:35] EncRyptO it gives back the same error [08:35] dr_Willis: I have reached my witts end on fixing this alsa sound issue, and I know it found the correct hardware and installed the correct drivers when I first created the system [08:36] yu could try purgeing/reinstalling the alsa packages I guess. its also posible oher fix's you have tried have broken things worse. I rarely have sound issues. so cant advise more [08:36] dr_Willis: and if the forum sitcky is the best thing around for fixing said soundissues, then I am very broken right now. [08:37] may be better to just do a reinstall. [08:37] not reinstall every package.. a clean install [08:37] psycho_oreos: Thanks, I guess I will just switch to something else. [08:37] hi , I'd like kernel messages not to display on the console , how can I do that in Ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:38] harovali1: theres a /etc/sysctrl.conf file i think that can tweak that. [08:38] it says that mplayer is not installes so not removed, but its installed, i used it yesterday [08:38] i cant double check the filename rignht now [08:38] dr_Willis: thanks. will think about this, and look again with a clear head in the morning. I just realized I've been fighting with this for four hours and am probably not thinking clearly. [08:39] I wil never ever ever try to fix a nagging system problem after 11pm again. [08:40] dr_Willis: thanks [08:40] dr_Willis, hi [08:40] silvering, did you do the search i posted? if not search for the package, first cd out of all directorys, then sudo find / -iname *package* [08:40] hello, I really need some help. someone I know has issues with ubuntu and internet connection; they live in area with pretty slow/bad internet, and connecting to anything often time-outs. on updates, on pidgin...etc. is there a way to "bypass" timeouts? [08:41] EncRyptO i dont remember the name of the package [08:41] and i tryed synaptic too [08:41] it gives back this: [08:41] ops.. i closed it [08:41] lol [08:41] well, basicly it says unmet dependencies [08:41] i have problem with scanner . its not working with sane .......... [08:41] guys, i'm running ubuntu 11.04, installed fedora, restored ubuntu grub, then ran sudo update-grub, but it's doesn't show fedora. any ideas? [08:41] and it will leave mplayer and ttf-dejavu unconfigured [08:42] j_dalmond: add fedora by hand to the /etc/grub.d/40_custome file (or whaever name it is) [08:42] silvering, did you use the command line to install the package? [08:43] yes.. and i cancel it in the first one second after i press yes [08:43] cause i saw that it will install around 150 mbs [08:43] dr_Willis, thanks so lot. -) [08:44] EncRyptO can i paste you on prv the error? [08:44] dr_Willis, i have problem with scanner . its not working with sane .......... [08:44] silvering, if so then go check your bash history. go to your home directory.. ls -al then cat .bash_history [08:45] sara2010: you did check the sane homepage to se if its supported? [08:45] how exactly does rc.local work, can I just type commands in there and save it or...? [08:45] silvering, that has all your commands including the package names [08:46] Gskellig: its a script so basically yes. [08:46] Gskellig: it's just a shell script that is run after all the other boot-up scripts [08:46] silvering, look for your pkg there [08:46] EncRyptO thanks, just a sec [08:46] make sure commands in rc.local dont 'take over' the shell. run them via command & if not sure. [08:47] dr_Willis, can i ask one more complicated question? [08:47] dr_Willis, let me check there [08:47] go for it.. thats the point of the channel. [08:47] dr_Willis guys, one more question, after a few hours of work in 11.04 i drop out of session and get this - http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/imag001436.php - it's impossible to make screenshot, so i made a pic. is it a kernel panic and if yes, will installing latest vanilla kernel help me? [08:48] EncRyptO im looking at it, but i cant find what im searching [08:48] and laptop is very hot also during this [08:48] try the latest kernel and see 0 [08:48] silvering the command is cat .bash_history [08:49] dr_Willis, thanks. i'll try it. [08:49] silvering, look for the command you did to install it from the command line [08:49] no no, im looking in bash history right now, but the command is not there [08:49] silvering, then you should remember the package [08:49] every command for install in the bash history was successfull [08:49] ok...but you want the package name right? [08:49] no actually [08:50] i want to fix that mplayer and ttf-dejavu error [08:50] Hello once again [08:50] but dont know how [08:50] ok so you know the name [08:50] Can anyone reccomended a resource for upgrading wubi [08:50] Shaba1, not rcommended [08:50] what you can do if stnd error says its not installed its not installed check [08:51] EncRyptO it says that mplayer is not installed so not removed, but mplayer is installed [08:51] i checked [08:51] how did you install mplayer? [08:51] five minutes ago i watched video clip on mplayer [08:51] with aptitude === zamba_ is now known as zamba [08:51] try removing it with aptitude perhaps [08:52] i tryed [08:52] same error every time [08:52] same error in synaptic too [08:52] what the error? [08:52] not installed? [08:52] can you find the package? [08:52] pastebin the exact error messages perhaps. [08:52] now? [08:53] if not then dont worry about it.....because it says not installed [08:53] just a sec [08:54] http://pastebin.com/H902G2FS [08:55] and it gives this thing with ttf-dejavu everytime i install apps with aptitude [08:55] Hello everyone. I have Natty installed alongside Windows on my laptop. Yesterday, while using Natty, I forced down my laptop by holding down the power button. Unfortunately, I now can't boot to Natty. What I see is a Grub commandline. I have tried booting from a live USB but that just hangs after showing the copyright information. Can anyone help me? [08:55] silvering, sudo find / -iname *mplayer* [08:56] alright, mplayer is no longer installed, i just checked, thats getting weird and weird [08:56] dr_Willis, i have send you msg . [08:56] best to talk in channel sara2010 [08:56] EncRyptO the find command return only this: /usr/share/mplayer [08:56] Feyisayo, does alongside mean a wubi install? [08:56] 8, 12, 16 bit works all modes. If you can only scan half of the page, use the PS2Dfw2.usb firmware and rename it to PS2Dfw.usb. In that case, you may also need backend 1.0-73 or later. [08:56] nit-wit, yes [08:57] i did it but its not working [08:57] Excuse me,I'm new to this system,can you give me some advice [08:57] Feyisayo, always mention that, so you get the MS menu but text when you choose the ubuntu menu choice [08:58] what's this key on keyboard: KV_S_YUAN=0x0101 thanks [08:58] Feyisayo, load a live ubuntu cd, then connect to net,,, then in the command line run sudo update-grub [08:58] EncRyptO, it is a wubi install. [08:58] nit-wit, Yes I get a menu choice of Windows or Ubuntu.

On my cell phone irc client. [09:00] EncRyptO, my laptop does not have a working CD drive. So what I use is a live USB but I can't seem to boot from it. I just hangs after the copyright information is displayed [09:00] Feyisayo, take a look at this thread and post as well, if you need to, thr OP and another wubi guru lurk daily. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 [09:00] EncRyptO dont understand you (my english is not that good), whats the solution? [09:00] nit-wit, I will right away [09:01] Feyisayo, get a usb external cd drive or go to another computer to make a bootable usb [09:01] Feyisayo, cool for straight help thats the thread and place. [09:02] hello [09:02] EncRyptO, I have a live USB but it won't boot [09:02] EncRyptO, so your saying you can fix a wubi? [09:02] hi, wanted to know the what is the best email client on ubuntu to use with gmail that will allow me to see labels and folders that i have already marked in gmail on web browser [09:02] wont boot, or fails to boot to the desktop. You may need to use the nomodeset option to get it working right on some systems [09:03] ok go to unetbootin site and there you can make a bootable usb for any OS [09:03] I have turned off quiet splash for the grub2 bootloader in 11.04 - but I do not still the full text from the bootload there is still a purple screen and any text that does appear is delayed [09:03] pendrivelinux website also has some tools that make bootable usb disks. [09:03] Jordan_U, what was the url to t again ? [09:03] liminal try the 'text' option perhaps? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:04] * bob3291 eats the awesome sauce [09:05] ? [09:05] you want some!? [09:05] :) [09:05] !ubottu pastebin [09:05] Theres no charge for awsome.

[09:09] EncRyptO, I am trying to avoid that option as I have a lot of stuff on my Ubuntu. I was hoping for a way to fix it. [09:09] when in doubt make backups [09:11] Feyisayo, ok then get a live usb cd drive or go to unetbootin and create the live usb.....itll work... i did it before on computer with 3OS [09:12] nit-wit, thanks for the article. It assumes that one can boot from a live CD/USB but I have not been able to do so. I created the live USB with the usb-creator tool that comes with Natty's ISO. After the copyright information, nothing happened === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [09:13] Feyisayo: you may still need the nomodeset option. also the usb dreator tool in ubuntu has been a little quirky at times. I tend to use tools at the pendrivcelinux site. [09:14] dr_Willis, im not aware of a text option [09:14] EncRyptO, maybe I should try creating the live USB using UNetbootin and see if it will boot [09:15] dr_Willis, I'll try that too. Thanks a lot [09:15] replacve 'quiet solash' with 'text' = no plymouth or no gdm starting at bootup [09:15] Feyisayo, connect to net with live cd or usb then sudo update-grub about unetbootin its easy they have instructions and the distros you choose already [09:15] Is VLC about the best "GOM Player" alternative , along with (s)mplayer ? [09:16] Ive neer even heard fof a GOM player.. :) [09:16] EncRyptO, will do. Thank you for your help [09:16] dr_Willis, the grub2 output is text by default.. the quiet splash command just covers it up [09:16] 11.04 is doing somthing funky tho.. try it [09:16] Jordan_U, check out: http://imagebin.org/154767 http://imagebin.org/154768 http://imagebin.org/154769 [09:16] and the text option will let it show.... [09:17] what is the text option? [09:17] by disablin plymouth totally [09:17] where do you put it.. ive never heard of it [09:17] nit-wit, I'm going to try creating a live USB with another utility (UNetbootin) and see how it goes. Thanks for your help. [09:17] grub kernel option... replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' [09:17] or anyone else interested in problems with installer.. [09:17] Feyisayo, ok [09:18] how do i know which cpu governing software i got?= [09:18] dr_Willis, opkay ill give it a go [09:18] liminal: no dont replace it, just append text [09:19] keeping splash and text.. is sort of like gibveing oposite options. :) [09:19] edit the grub line at boot time to use 'text' for a one time text only boot. for trouble shooting - is what i often do [09:20] dr_Willis, sometimes it can be handy to use nosplash as well. [09:21] as some systems hang upon loading splash [09:21] text is npsplash+ basically :) it just stops gdm also [09:21] HI dr_Willis [09:22] lapion: gah what does splash do anyways besides adding bloat? [09:22] text = the old style console boot runlevel many other disrtos use. [09:22] ok [09:22] we all know that plymouth adds valueable extras to the os.... jut not sure what.. :) [09:22] how do i know which cpu governing software i got? [09:23] we cant be scareing people with boot messages :) [09:23] dr_Willis: yeah i heard that one too, but neither do i know what it supposedly helps ;) [09:23] i always disable plymouth [09:23] bbl [09:24] Cube``, do you have a pentium 4 or similiarly aged processor ?

[09:26] yeah [09:26] get ubuntu tweak [09:26] Bakerconspiracy: word bro [09:26] don't understand the 'unity' bit yet [09:26] dr_Willis the text command means that the grub loads the text console [09:26] ubuntu tweak is not supported [09:26] not the gui console. [09:26] there is no need for ubuntu tweak at all [09:26] FAIL [09:26] m........ what's a kernel?? [09:26] moron.

Now KMail is slowly eating my e-mails (there is still a hint that the e-mail was there, but all data is removed). Is there any program I can for example install on our homeserver that stores my mail in a robust database (like MySQL or PostgreSQL) in a way I can still access it from my mail client? [09:32] ah ok [09:32] I am having two versions of ubuntu.The new one came after updating.anyway to remove the old one??

[09:53] BKTech86: explain the problem a bit more please [09:54] iptables is installed and running, BUT when i try : service iptables start i get iptables: unrecognized service [09:54] BKTech86- i had some bugs like that when i upgraded too [09:54] BKTech86: yes, natty is classed as stable [09:54] but they went away [09:54] yea BKTech86 [09:54] honestly not sure how. i tinker with the system when it's not working right until it works again. half the time i can't tell you how i did it later. [09:54] ikonia: i dont know what else to say. after i've suspended I turn the computer back on and i can use any programs that are open but i can't start new ones because they just fail to open [09:54] hmm [09:54] actually half the issues i was having went away after i booted into windows then into kubuntu again [09:54] wk: did you try: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables restart [09:55] BKTech86: suspend can be quite buggy in Linux in general [09:55] sudo: /etc/init.d/iptables: command not found [09:55] do programs get put onto some stack in mem when a computer goes into suspend? [09:55] anyone know [09:55] stack frames w/ pid or something [09:55] BKTech86: they get swapped out to disk [09:55] ikonia: it used to work fine on my laptop when i was using 10.04 LTS 32-bit but when i switched to 64-bit it's not working anymore [09:55] oops [09:55] i don't really use suspend so *shrug* [09:56] into swap [09:56] Bakerconspiracy: they get swapped out to disk [09:56] BKTech86: I can understand that [09:56] Bakerconspiracy: yes [09:56] ikonia do you know what data structure [09:56] just like state id [09:56] ikonia: in that case, is it likely it will be functional if i go to natty 32-bit? [09:57] BKTech86: no promises, suspend depends on many component [09:57] ikonia: what about the hanging at bootup? [09:57] Bakerconspiracy: it's a simple dump file as I recall [09:57] BKTech86: what hanging at boot [09:57] My L-Max 5K Serioux USB mouse does not work well with any ubuntu variant installed but works well in any ubuntu variant live [09:57] ikonia: instead of going straight into ubuntu it loads up a black screen with prompt asking for login: -- so i login and wait like a minute before ubuntu magically starts [09:57] What it does is it focuses on whatever control/window/panel I click first and cannot click on anything else without first doing a right-click on the currently focused window/panel/etc [09:58] Anyone know why? [09:58] sed 's/WorkedHours=$WorkedHours/WorkedHours=$newWorkedHours/g' $logfile [09:58] ikonia: it's at least a full minute [09:58] yo bktech86 when you come back from suspend does it stall up when you open other programs [09:58] or not do anything [09:58] BKTech86: if you don't login, does it start X on it's own ? [09:58] Bakerconspiracy: it stalls, saying Starting [program name]... then just stop [09:58] How do you set the default network interface on ubuntu? like if i want to use eth1 as default instead of eth0? [09:58] ikonia: i never waited that long without logging in, I don't know [09:58] BKTech86: try it [09:58] ikonia: i guess it probably would since sometimes it doesnt do that at all [09:59] Where would one of root's environmental variables getting set? It's the http_proxy variable and I need to unset it by default so I can run the additional drivers gui under gksu [09:59] bktech86 since you are having problems with starting x [09:59] Bakerconspiracy: maybe i misunderstood your question. Yes I noticed sometimes if i keep opening programs after returning from suspend [09:59] i bet its something to do with that [09:59] BKTech86: check it [09:59] Bakerconspiracy: the whole system can freeze [09:59] yea [10:00] Bakerconspiracy: so what are you suggesting? [10:00] maybe X is having a bit of trouble loading up [10:00] what is your ram an cpu speed again [10:00] or [10:00] its getting hung up on something [10:01] ikonia is that agreeable ? [10:01] like permissions escalation or something [10:01] Bakerconspiracy: its a Toshiba Qosmio x505-885 [10:01] Bakerconspiracy: i5 cpu -- 2g ram i think [10:02] yea says 4 gb ram [10:02] its all new hardware [10:02] one sec [10:03] Is anyone else using iwlagn driver for wifi? Do you experience bad performance when transferring large amounts of data?

[11:22] Sik: ubuntu should set up everything for you if you go through the language configuration screen (not sure where that is hidden nowadays though) [11:22] baijupattera, to run it once again i need to restart or relogin, or know out from system monitor its name, from startup applications i have not found it [11:22] I mean, last time I tried installing SCIM and next time I booted Gnome wouldn't let me log in [11:23] qdb, I said to take the "language support" from menu and do [11:23] I want to know what to do if something like that happens again >_> [11:23] baijupattera, language support opens other window [11:23] Sik: well, if that happens you might just go down to the regular text console and uninstall it. never had that issue though [11:23] qdb,u see the options there [11:23] Beumac, If they are usb or esata drives, you might try booting into Windows and "Safely Remove Hardware" than see if Ubuntu lists them. [11:24] Er OK... It was SCIM anyways not just Anthy so maybe I have luck this time :/ (it was 32-bit Ubuntu and CPU turned out to be 64-bit so I just "fixed" it by upgrading to 64-bit Ubuntu and ditching the old install) [11:24] Sik: ibus is the scim replacement so to speak. I switched from scim to ibus myself recently because scim refused to work with firefox4 [11:24] OK [11:24] Hmmm, they are sata drives...if I do that in windows will they pop back up the next time I boot up windows? [11:24] or wait... [11:24] dr_Willis, I am running 10.04 Lucid on this laptop. so I assumed that DMA was on, but since DVD playback is acting choppy.... I wanted to check that DMA is actually on. [11:24] qdb, there r opptions as install/remove packages and "apply system wide like that [11:25] Beumac, They are externals, right? [11:25] They are NOT external [11:25] check the dvd transfer speeds. and the info in that drive management tools perhaps. [11:25] Beumac, Then disregard my previous. [11:25] i forget its exaxct names [11:25] haha yeah, I figured [11:25] So now that ibus is installed, what? [11:26] dr_Willis, what should I expect to see when copying dvd? [11:26] I don't understand why these two drives won't pop up in ubuntu =( So weird, is there a way to view the ntfs config or something? [11:27] blackdalek - no idea - i rarely even use optical disks these days [11:27] Beumac, did u try in nautlilus under file system? [11:27] I don't even know what that is =p [11:28] oh [11:28] hello people! got a quesiton... when im on this site and watch embedded from youtube, they lag like crazy, but when i watch them on youtube they are fine! :s [11:28] it's the file manager lol [11:28] anyone esle had that ? [11:29] Yeah, that's where I checked other than fdisk...they just aren't there. [11:30] dr_Willis, well... it transfers at around 950K/sec if that helps at all [11:30] that seems slow to me. less then 1mb/sec. ] [11:30] Beumac, Try System-->Administration--> Gparted and see if they are listed there. [11:31] hi, i have a beetle usb modem which works fine in windows but i cant use it to connect to net in ubuntu, do i need to download any driver [11:31] dial up modem? DSL modem? [11:31] Dial up [11:32] Hmmm Sidewinder1 there is no gparted under system>administration [11:32] !dialup [11:32] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [11:32] wait, I do see them in the disk utility Sidewinder1 [11:33] Screw that ibus working :D あなたはクールです！ [11:33] Beumac, Then try System-->Administration-->Dish Utility. [11:33] See ya [11:33] Disk [11:33] Yeah, Sidewinder1 They are listed! [11:33] thanks :) [11:34] How do I make them work Sidewinder1 [11:34] Beumac, What file format are they? [11:35] NTFS [11:35] but [11:35] it says unknown [11:36] Please tell me what is the option record 3d in istanbul recorder used for. [11:37] Beumac, You could always use Windows to copy all of the data from them and then, using a partitioning tool and reformat them to ext3 or ext4, CAUTION, reformatting will destroy ALL data on those drives. [11:38] lol I'm not sure I have 1.5 tb of disk space free to do that atm [11:38] Got a Ubuntu 11.04 machine that authenticating against a server running ldap kerberos. A user I can login to the workstation who is part of the admin group is unable to perform sudo commands. I've no idea why. [11:38] Beumac, What I can't figure is the "Unknown"? [11:39] Can anyone suggest where I might start to look? [11:39] Yeah! The assessments from the SMART data all say "good" or "n/a" [11:41] Beumac, Can't fathom why Nautilus doesn't see them. [11:41] hi anyone know of any good ubuntu/linux podcast to listen to [11:42] Beumac, In Nautilus, did you click "view" then "side pane"? [11:42] Sidewinder1, side pane is checked, yes. [11:43] facelessloser, http://ubuntupodcast.net/ [11:43] thanks baijupattera === Lordy is now known as loooordy [11:43] Beumac, Only other thing: open a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l That's a lower case L... === thegoodcushion_ is now known as thegoodcushion [11:45] Okay, I've done that. [11:45] Looks like they are all listed. [11:46] baijupattera, apply system wide does not open that window but requests password [11:46] Beumac, If they also do not show up in "Places", than I'm lost...Sorry === loooordy is now known as l0ordy [11:47] qdp: u should be the administrator to do that [11:47] Nope, Sidewinder1 they don't show up there either =( [11:47] facelessloser, and this too http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ [11:48] Beumac, Sorry...:-( Maybe a little later, ask again here; the guys you're lookin' for is dr_Willis or ActionParsnip. [11:49] thanks for trying Sidewinder1! I still learned a couple things haha =) [11:49] Beumac, That's important, too... [11:50] I wouldn't be so heart broken if I at least had my music haha [11:50] :-) [11:51] Sidewinder1: what is Beumac looking for? [11:51] Beumac: What are you trying to do? [11:51] I have 2 NTFS drives that won't show up in Ubuntu... [11:51] usr13, His system is not seeing an internal NTFS part. [11:52] They show up under disk utility [11:52] and when performing sudo fdisk -l [11:52] !NTFS | Beumac [11:52] Beumac: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [11:52] Beumac: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #Send resulting URL. [11:53] send resting url?

[11:54] Beumac: Issue command: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [11:54] For some reason xchat screws up a bit graphically... [11:54] Beumac: And send us the resulting URL [11:54] sometimes the words are off and or the end is cut off =/ [11:55] send us = list it here... [11:55] Not sure why that is haha, I haven't had to install any drivers yet though. Was surprised at that one. [11:55] Beumac: Between fdisk -l and Pastebinit is the pipe command | On my keyboard, it is the key above enter which also has \ but uppercase gives you | (The pipe command) [11:56] Beumac: But you can just cut and paste it: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [11:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/612233/ [11:56] sorry had to install pastebinit [11:58] Beumac: Looks like you have 5 NTFS partitions: sda1 sdb1 sdc1 sd31 sdd1 Which one do you need? [11:58] hey there [11:59] sda1 and...hmmm not sure which tb drive it is hah [11:59] hey, i just deselected an option in compiz config settings, it was the unity one, i thought it would just delete the settings but it removed my whole desktop. can someone please help me get it back? thanks [11:59] You can manually mount them. Example: [11:59] Just got Ubuntu 11.04 and it freezes when it loads up.Is it my graphics card?Is there any way around this? [11:59] sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1 ; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [12:00] And then take your file manager to /mnt/sda1 === ^Ciccios^ is now known as ^Ciccios`OuT^ [12:00] Or just: ls /mnt/sda1 [12:00] djxcqtion, how u reach there,upgrade? [12:01] Well I first tired through upgrade [12:01] then installed through USB [12:01] it gives me the same problem matthews [12:01] djxcqtion, could u reach the desktop? [12:01] anyone here familiar with the game Those Funny Funguloids? Will it work at all on an Intel GMA 3150? [12:01] I get the start screen it starts flickering [12:01] does anyone know how to open compiz config settings manager from terminal? [12:02] Beumac: You should probably look to see if any of these partitions are already mounted. To do that use the mount command. If you issue the mount command without arguments, it will show all mounted partitions. [12:02] well yes..but I couldnt do anything cause it just kept flickering matthews [12:02] adam61, install it from software center first [12:03] `CCSM [12:03] Beumac: But the system will tell you if it is already mounted (when you try to mount it again). [12:03] aye [12:03] adam61: once installed, type CCSM in terminal; [12:03] Hmm [12:04] j/ cyLEDGE [12:04] help [12:04] mathews_, ok thanks. i do have it installed already, but i need to reinstall eh? k [12:04] You should tell us something a bit more informative than aye or Hmm ;) [12:04] usr13, I copy pasted the command you sent it didn't seem to work [12:04] kamelot314: ok thanks. gonna reinstall then i'll do that [12:04] adam61, do what kamelot314 said [12:04] or at least they aren't showing up in nautilus still [12:04] Beumac: Did it give you an error? [12:04] hey mathews_ : any solution? [12:05] Nope [12:05] just went back to the prompt [12:05] ls /mnt/sda1 | pastebinit [12:05] djxcqtion, I think it related to the integrity of ur iso file.did u check the md5 of it? [12:05] md5? [12:05] Beumac: And send resulting URL. [12:05] mathews_, how do i open software center? i only have access to terminal and xchat cause i had hotkeys for them [12:06] You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. [12:06] mount | pastebinit [12:06] djxcqtion, yeah,right click on the iso file and select the md5 sum and compare it with the one provided in the downloading page [12:06] Hello, i had some problems and uncertainties with mysql and phpmyadmin earlier so i did a purge removal of both. Now i installed mysql again and im really confused as to how i can set up my user on it. It lets me in as my username (viliny) without a password but nothing else. And trying to se my password im getting no luck... whats the syntax here? [12:06] mathews_: md5? I downladed it from the Ubuntu site [12:06] adam61: /usr/sbin/synaptic ==> must to be root [12:07] usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/612236/ [12:07] ok wil =l do [12:07] kamelot314: thanks [12:07] adam61, did u type CCSM in terminal [12:08] i downl;oed it from the Ubuntu Website mathews [12:08] mathews_, ya i tried that first but it said command not found [12:08] I am on a windows machine now..I use a Intel 865G chipset [12:08] is it compitable [12:08] djxcqtion, but for clearing the doubt just check it,and make a start up disk by running the live cd of the same [12:09] Beumac: It appears you have that second one mounted. /dev/sdb1 is mounted on mount point /media/Big Daddy [12:09] adam61: type : sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [12:09] Big daddy was already showing up [12:10] is there a way i can to make ubuntu tile all windows so that they are standing next to each other? [12:10] I need the 500gb and the 1tb named "holdsalot" [12:10] Beumac: Have you looked at /media/Big Daddy to see if anything there is what you need? [12:10] kamelot314: ok great thanks. that sounds better than synaptic since there are so many packages there [12:10] Well, Bigdaddy actually shows up in places [12:10] will do mathews_ [12:10] in windows i can press the taskbar and press eg. tile vertically or tile horizontally [12:10] Beumac: Ok, let's go back to trying to mount sda1 [12:10] and really isn't much more than a windows backup file haha [12:10] adam61: in Synaptic, juste type Compiz in the search box and they show you the pakage to install [12:11] Beumac: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 #Tell me what that does or says back to you. [12:11] kamelot314: ok i have it installed, how do i open it? [12:11] djxcqtion, one mnt pls, was it ok when u ran the live cd [12:12] adam61: Type CCSM in terminal, it should work now [12:12] just a prompt [12:12] is there /etc/ppp/resolv.conf by default in ubuntu 11.04 ? [12:12] well first it said only root [12:12] but then I added sudo ;p [12:12] Beumac: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 #Tell me what that does or says back to you. [12:12] kamelot314, CCSM not working says error [12:12] adam61: You don't have the menu bar on top window? [12:12] Yea, my mistake [12:12] ... I'm only humna... [12:13] *human [12:13] mathews_ : did you try in low case? [12:13] kamelot314: no, i don't. it said command not found again; i didn't think it'd be different cause i had it installed before [12:13] !Human? [12:13] pksadiq: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:13] kamelot314, ok,let me.... [12:13] Beumac: Did that do anything? [12:14] Not that I can see =( [12:14] Just came back to the prompt, nothing in nautilus [12:14] kamelot314, yeah it came [12:14] Adam can you login to X? Ie you get the GUI? [12:14] places or the media folder [12:14] mathews_ :P Sorry my mistake! === chad is now known as Guest29521 [12:15] Beumac: ls /mnt/sda1 | pastebinit [12:15] kamelot314, its ok [12:15] pksadiq, not quite sure what X is.. when i login, it looks the same except the launcher and the menu bar don't come up [12:15] Beumac: Anything there? [12:15] adam61, did u see what kamelot314 said,use the lower case as ccsm [12:15] mathews_, oh ok thanks, i hadn't seen that. i'll give it a try === rico is now known as pinoy83 [12:16] in windows i can press the taskbar and press eg. tile vertically or tile horizontally [12:16] adam61: i suggest also to install compiz_fusion [12:16] s: command not found [12:16] You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. [12:16] is there a way i can to make ubuntu tile all windows so that they are standing next to each other? [12:17] mathwes_ : The MD5 sums are the same [12:17] Beumac: Let's try another one: [12:17] 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281 [12:17] sudo mkdir /mnt/sde1 ; mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/sde1 [12:17] sudo mkdir /mnt/sde1 ; sudo mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/sde1 [12:17] thats the MD5 sums [12:17] mathews_, kamelot314: lower case worked! but when i click on unity again, it gives me a conflicts warning; should i "ignore" or "resolve"? [12:17] ... forgot sudo on the first one. [12:18] mathews_ : To answer your earlier question I ran it through USB installation and the same problem occurs [12:18] Im trying it on USB right now [12:18] it seems to be flickering [12:19] Beumac: Anything there? [12:19] Wait which one? [12:19] /mnt/sde1 [12:19] oh nm [12:19] djxcqtion, I was asking on live session means before the installation [12:19] adam61: Unity? [12:19] Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. [12:20] kamelot314: ya, it says "Some edge and key bindings of Plugin Ubuntu Unity Plugin conflict with other plugins. Do you want to resolve these conflicts?" [12:20] i'm thinking ignore.. [12:20] oh thats the 250 gig thats actually what ubuntu is installed on usr13 [12:20] Yeah the start up screen comes up.and then it reaches the desktop screen and then starts flickering. [12:20] adam61, I dont know what to do....lol [12:21] mathews_, haha np [12:21] I need sda1 and either sdb1 or sdb [12:21] Beumac: Oh yea, I missed that. sde1 is already mounted on /host So look there and see. ls /host | pastebinit [12:21] Adam61: Same since i'm not using Ubuntu.. but try to fix it ... click yes [12:21] Im perplexed cause I used Ubuntu 10.04 and the problem didnt occur [12:21] djxcqtion, then it is graphics issue [12:21] is it because of Unity or because of my graphics card? [12:21] Beumac: Or point your file manager to /mnt/sde1 [12:21] Beumac: No, not /mnt/sde1 /host [12:22] I use an Intel 82865G chipset [12:22] kamelot314: ok i'll go for it [12:22] djxcqtion, run the "additional drives" from menu and see any driver required to [12:22] is that an issue> [12:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/612240/ [12:22] Beumac: Your mount ponit for /dev/sde1 is /host [12:22] djxcqtion, "additional drivers"\\ [12:22] djxcqtion, "additional drivers" I meant [12:23] Beumac: So what was that? [12:23] <[deXter]> Hi all, how can I disable compiz in Natty? [12:23] Beumac, You're using wubi, aren't you? [12:23] Hey. I have a problem. After I had a projector plugged into my laptop, I can suddenly only do 1680 x 1050 instead of 1920 x 1080. How do I fix this? [12:23] ok im I would admit I dont know what you are talking about [12:23] wubi? [12:23] how do i check addition drivers> [12:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/612240/ was the output of what? [12:23] Beumac: Oh, so you have a wubi install? [12:23] Beumac, Did you install ubuntu from within the Windows environment? [12:23] im using Wubi btw [12:23] Yes, I did [12:24] djxcqtion, click the menu button and type additional drivers [12:24] I seee.....

[12:26] Hello [12:26] Can someone help me with msyql? [12:26] djxcqtion, it works if u can reach the desktop,otherwise dont know what to do [12:26] Beumac: So, what is your situation exactly? Can't you just boot to MS Windows and find / negotiate your files in the NTFS partitions? [12:26] !wubi | Beumac [12:26] Beumac: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug.

[12:27] Is it possible to change my launchpad password? [12:27] IMHO, with all due respect to the developere, it's a mess... [12:27] my situation is pretty much all my media is on the tb drive and my music is on the 500gb drive [12:27] Beumac: I do not recommend wubi I recommend a real linux install.

[12:36] Beumac: It is really up to you. But I would suggest you pick a place and just install. Pick which ever drive you want and do a real linux install on it, tell the installer to install grub on the primary drive (which is sda) and it will give you option to boot MS Windows or Ubuntu.

[12:40] usr13: what would it give to me? [12:40] Beumac: Well, there is supposed to be a way to go into wubi and tell it to just install the real deal. But I don't know anything about it.

[15:17] umm..trying to crack user ac passwrd ;P [15:17] on os win7 [15:17] Guest98248: there is a #backtrack-linux channel [15:17] ..? [15:17] Hello all, i need some advice on partitioning : what importance does the mount point have ? [15:17] Guest98248: Backtrack5 has luanched and I would suggest asking in the #backtrack-linux channel [15:17] is there any way to install skype using aptitude? [15:17] should i change something there ? [15:17] type /j #backtrack-linux [15:18] Wow nothing seems to work..Its just frustating...I think im just gonna go back to 10.10 [15:18] I mean I cant believe an issue this small..takes like a lifetime to fix [15:18] djxcqtion: use ubuntu classic, not unity [15:18] carpi: if you enable the partner repo, I believe it is in there [15:19] ActionParsnip: can i enable the partner repo in synaptic? [15:19] Monkey: I dont seem to even get that option when I run through my USB [15:19] it just directly goes to this frozen screen [15:19] djxcqtion: its at the login screen, menu at the bottom [15:19] hey any one please help me ,, iam trying to crack windows7 password ? [15:19] oh [15:19] carpi: not sure, I know you can do it in software centre. [15:20] carpi: the skype site has debs you can download and install easily [15:20] djxcqtion: you will have to logout to change sessions [15:20] djxcqtion: choose 'install ubuntu', not 'try ubuntu' [15:20] will try with all the flickering and freezing... [15:20] ActionParsnip: thank you. i will check it [15:20] Oh ok Monkeydusy [15:20] Hello, I installed ubuntu server 11.04, now when it comes to configure the interfaces, ifconfig shows me only loopback interface, eth0 is not there [15:20] seems like a better option [15:20] any hints about the "mount point" importance ? [15:21] then i choose Ubuntu Classic eh? [15:21] hi all [15:21] yeah djx.... [15:21] My Ubuntu server just shut down while I was trying to run some java code. Where should I look to see if it was a kernel panic? I don't see anything in kern.log. [15:21] openbox not working for me any ideas [15:21] Harith: you can add the config for the network devices in /etc/network/interfaces [15:22] Harith: you will need to restart the network service after you edit the file [15:22] my laptop does not recharge the battery when i run ubuntu, no problems with windows vista... why?? [15:22] BluesKaj, hi [15:22] Harith: will help: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [15:22] surrentino: you sure its just not a application bug and the laptop is really recharging? [15:22] hi prashant_123456 [15:22] BluesKaj, i m not able to use openbox in ubuntu 11.04 ? [15:22] ActionParsnip, actually, I did, but when i give it ifup eth0, following message shown: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [15:22] OS continues to tell me that i have 14% yet [15:23] Harith: if you run: sudo dhclient3 eth0 does it collect DHCP? [15:24] my laptop does not recharge the battery when i run ubuntu, no problems with windows vista... why?? [15:24] ActionParsnip, no, it seems that eth0 is not even recognized or something === Jareth_ is now known as Jareth [15:24] surrentino: does ubuntu recognize that the laptop is plugged in? [15:25] prashant_123456, sorry, I know nothing about openbox , never tried it . [15:25] ok [15:25] BluesKaj, ok [15:26] ActionParsnip, and when I lunch /etc/network/interfaces , eth0 is correctly configured [15:26] oiiii [15:26] prashant_123456: have you tried Fluxbox? Its based of openbox so it might be similar [15:26] caboose885: yes it does [15:26] Caboose885, how to do that [15:26] ActionParsnip, but when executing "ifconfig", only loopback interface is shown [15:27] prashant_123456: in synaptic you can install it [15:27] someone know what should i select as "mount point" first for SWAP and then for ext4 ? [15:27] Harith: I suggest you run: sudo lshw -C network and use the product line to find guides [15:27] Caboose885, ok [15:27] surrentino: is there an option in your bios to change the AC adaptor settings? [15:27] prashant_123456: I use fluxbox so I might be able to help more with it than openbox. ;) [15:27] Hi. I'm suffering form this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/373111 [15:27] Ubuntu bug 373111 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Keyboard 'Custom Shortcut' does not retain environment" [Low,Triaged] [15:27] i should look but i really don't think so [15:27] Caboose885, thanks verymuch [15:27] I previously solved it using xbindkeys. [15:28] Is there a canonical (pardon the pun) list of what hardware is known to be compatible with Ubuntu? [15:28] That worked fine, but now in 11.04 natty it doesn't solve the issue. [15:28] Caboose885, actually i m looking for a great desktop management [15:28] I can say that at some point it did, but I don't know what sequence of events caused that. [15:28] Caboose885: if i'll find something in BIOS what i should do there? [15:28] crissng my fingers,,,disk partioning happening :) [15:28] I from Egypt [15:28] prashant_123456: I'm really happy with it. I configured it to my liking and it really didn't take long [15:29] Caboose885, ok great [15:29] surrentino: just make sure its set to charge. I know my laptop has an option where it ignore being plugged in (I don't know why anyone would do that) [15:29] Caboose885, should i log off and log on to take effect [15:29] Hmmph. Solution was to kill off all xbindkeys, and start a new one. :o( [15:29] Oh well. [15:29] prashant_123456: you might want to look at configuring fluxbox first [15:30] prashant_123456: are you on a laptop or desktop? [15:30] Caboose885, on desktop [15:30] caboose885: ok but, why that option should not work anymore? it works with vista, and i'm so tired about open it when i need to charge my battery [15:30] ok so no wireless? [15:30] Question - with GAdmin Samba, is there a reason to put users under the "access denied" section? I would think if they weren't listed under access allowed they would by default be denied... [15:30] Caboose885, just installed [15:31] surrentino: Windows somehow can modify the BIOS. I can change settings in my BIOS from Windows. Like media keys and wireless. [15:32] caboose885: wow.. [15:32] prashant_123456: go ahead and open the file ~/fluxbox/startup [15:32] surrentino: what brand is your laptop? [15:32] Caboose885: HP Pavilion dv5 1205el === chad is now known as Guest31256 [15:33] roasted: test access. I like to screw mine does with access allowed and access denied lists [15:33] Caboose885, dont know where it is installed [15:33] ActionParsnip, do you by chance use gadmin for your samba needs? [15:33] surrentino: what version of Ubuntu? [15:34] roasted: no, i use smb.conf so I can configure it via ssh [15:34] prashant_123456: in nautilus you will need to push Control + H to show hidden fils [15:34] *files [15:34] ActionParsnip, I see. HAve you ever used anything else, such as a web based frontend for it? Or always ssh/smb.conf? [15:34] roasted: I suggest you add: root bin daemon nobody to the denied list, for security [15:34] roasted: no, never had to, the file is insanely simple [15:35] ActionParsnip, I agree. I'm just trying to figure out a way to remotely handle the system. I didn't think about ssh, as I could forward that outside the router for external access. [15:35] roasted: plus its secure :) [15:35] ActionParsnip: I switched to the US server, but the result is the same. I do see 'nl.archive.ubuntu.com' changed to 'us.archive...etc', so the change did happen. [15:36] Caboose885: the last one [15:36] ActionParsnip, the one thing I like about gadmin is any changes I make I can see the config file in another tab. It's not a bad way to learn the ins and outs of the real smb.conf [15:36] am attempting to convert to a static IP address, & am curious if router should be altered then modem, or modem & then router? [15:36] roasted: add http://paste.ubuntu.com/612299/ to the file, restart smbd and you have a share [15:36] surrentino: 10.10? or latest 11.04? [15:36] I seemed to have borked up my postgresql installation. I tried removing it and reinstalling it but its not recreating the /etc/postgresql and data. Any suggestions? [15:36] Is it possible to edit the GRUB boot menu from within GRUB itself? [15:36] 11.04 [15:36] If anyone has any tips about why apt-get doesn't work on a clean install of Edubuntu, I'd be very happy to receive them. http://pastebin.com/eAkSyNxB === thegoodcushion_ is now known as thegoodcushion [15:37] thegoodcushion: just hit e to edi t [15:37] thegoodcushion: yes, you can press E on the line and you can edit it [15:37] surrentino: did you previously ever have ubuntu installed on your laptop before 11.04? [15:37] ActionParsnip, its funny how much info is in the smb.conf. IT looks huge and confusing when nearly 90% of it is just tips and advice. [15:37] thegoodcushion: keep it mind it won't be permenant, you still have to make the changes once you're in the OS [15:37] ActionParsnip: I want to delete a couple of options and make another one the default [15:37] roasted: yeah a few files are like that [15:38] JanMiddelkoop: broken mirror, broken network setup [15:38] thegoodcushion: if you uninstall the kernels you don't need, the grub menu will get cleaned up [15:38] ActionParsnip: I don't think this is what I want. How do I manually edit the boot options? I've uninstalled debian from a partition but it's still in the boot menu [15:38] also, I want Windows to be the default now, not Ubuntu [15:38] thegoodcushion: then you need to run: sudo update-grub and it should be ok [15:39] Refael_: If you are referring to a static Ip that you have arranged with your ISP, the modem will get that automatcially [15:39] How do I make Windows the default one? [15:39] where is #ubuntu-ru channel? it's not in the roomlist [15:39] herby_trax: is such necessarily setup with a provider? [15:40] beli: explain. I tried both NL and US servers, so broken mirror seems unlikely? You did give me an idea to check proxy logs though, this could shed some light. Although it shouldn't be blocking anything. === administrator_ is now known as boybaby [15:40] herby_trax: can it not be manually configured? [15:40] static IP may refer to your computer having a set IP address on your network. [15:40] I dunno what else could be broken about network setup? It uses only HTTP, right? [15:40] that is one you configure [15:40] thegoodcushion: you can install a tool via synaptic called "Startup-manager" [15:40] Caboose885: thx [15:40] Hi all.. when I login to 'ubuntu' in 11.04, I get my background but no unity launcher or panel. Help please! [15:41] now, how do I change my login keyring to match my Login password? [15:41] it is a DSL Gateway [15:41] Caboose885: no, never [15:41] beli: sorry if the 'explain' sounded a bit harsh by the way, I didn't mean it that way... came out wrong. [15:41] hello [15:41] thegoodcushion: http://saji89.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/how-to-make-windows-the-defaultfirst-entry-in-your-grub2-menu/ [15:41] JanMiddelkoop proxy? ok thats the fault then... [15:41] surrentino: ah that makes it more difficult. I had power issues with my computer on 11.04 and I ended up going back to 10.10 [15:42] JanMiddelkoop: try to see what you really get if you fetch the packages...use netcat [15:42] beli: I did configure it properly though I believe. [15:42] I can wget fine [15:42] Refael_: If you want to give your computer an IP address, you can do it on the computer. You just need to make sure it is on your modem's network [15:42] ok now i get a message saying that i dont have the hardware to use Unity [15:42] thegoodcushion: I had a login keyring and I ended up deleting it because it was annoying. I have a user password and thats good enough for me [15:42] how do you delete it? [15:42] How do i choose Ubuntu Classic from the login screen [15:42] JanMiddelkoop: wget a file.bz2 and then do command line "file file.bz2" [15:43] djxcqtion: you need 3d accelleration for Unity [15:43] upgrading to natty failed on udisks package install. but it boots normal. how can i reupgrade it? [15:43] thegoodcushion: brb switching to gnome [15:43] herby_trax: am in need to alter the LAN address was the suspicion in creating a Static IP [15:43] djxcqtion: click name, at the bottom of the screen select gnome classic, then login [15:43] ifg.ircnode.com [15:44] action : will try :) [15:44] Hi all.. when I login to 'ubuntu' in 11.04, I get my background but no unity launcher or panel, or any error messages. Classic mode, however works fine. Help please! [15:44] Refael_: If your modem's address is 192.168.1.1, then you can give your computer an IP address of 192.168.1.2 to .254 [15:44] beli: do you have a full URL for file.bz2? [15:44] Refael_: you assign your computer's Ip address on the computer network settings. [15:45] upgrading to natty hangs on udisks package install. but it boots normal. how can i reupgrade 10.10 to 11.04? [15:45] Action : this would be at the login screen right [15:45] thegoodcushion: It should be (under GNOME at least) System-->Preferences-->Passwords and Encryption keys [15:45] tamale_: do you have 3D accelleration setup? [15:45] JanMiddelkoop: and post me this: grep -i proxy /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*; env|grep -i prox [15:45] there seems to be a white bar with the Time and Universal Prefrences [15:45] how can i chop a wav file into 1 second pieces in ubuntu? [15:45] and a shutdown [15:45] book1: sudo apt-get -f install [15:46] thegoodcushion: you do know the passwords to connect back to the networks correct? [15:46] beli: you rock. [15:46] beli: Packages.bz2: HTML document text [15:46] pythonirc101i know of mp3split but don't know abouut WAVs [15:46] ActionParsnip: Yes, compiz is working. === robert_ is now known as Guest9897 [15:46] Caboose885: Oh I still want it to be automatic [15:46] herby_trax: what is the Subnet & Gateway reference with setting up a static IP address? [15:46] JanMiddelkoop: you are getting headers but faulty data....and you get that from your proxy [15:46] That answers everything for me. :) It's a proxy blacklist message. [15:46] tamale_: then in ccsm enable the unity plugin [15:47] ActionParsnip: and it looks like if I launch 'unity' manually, it mostly works. the question is what makes it launch unity automatically by logging in? that appears to not be happning. [15:47] Next question is why this is blacklisted, but that I can figure out. [15:47] thegoodcushion: it will be if you remove the "Passwords:login" [15:47] Caboose885: okay, will try that [15:47] ActionParsnip: can mp3split chop an mp3 into 1 second chunks? [15:47] beli: you sir, have a new fan as of today. Thank you. :) And thanks to ActionParsnip as well! :-) [15:47] Refael_: Gateway is modem address, subnet can be 255.255.255.0 [15:47] pythonirc101sure [15:47] JanMiddelkoop: yw [15:47] thegoodcushion: but you will have to re-enter your passwords to the network once you delete the keys [15:47] ActionParsnip: thanx maestro [15:47] JanMiddelkoop: np man :) [15:47] pythonirc101: yes [15:48] Caboose885: right, well that's not what I want [15:48] pythonirc101: I believe there is a gui for it too, I've always used the command line [15:48] Caboose885: What I did was that I changed my user account password just to keep it dynamic, and now I get an extra dialog telling me my login keyring password is different [15:48] ActinParnish: Even Ubuntu Classic seem to be flickering...Weird :( [15:48] Refael_: for computer IP address, I'd recommend something like .25 or higher, to prevent IP address conflicts [15:49] thegoodcushion: oh, right click on the Passwords:login folder and click change. It will prompt you for a new password :) [15:49] ActionParsnip: what command should i use to chop it in 1second chunks? [15:49] Ubuntu Classic with no effects? [15:49] !info mp3split-gtk [15:49] Package mp3split-gtk does not exist in natty [15:50] djxcqtion: do you have compiz settings manager installed? [15:50] !info mp3splt-gtk [15:50] mp3splt-gtk (source: mp3splt-gtk): GTK interface to split MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files without reencoding. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.6-1.2 (natty), package size 84 kB, installed size 256 kB [15:50] bingo [15:51] pythonirc101: install mp3splt-gtk === nicoco is now known as Guest99527 [15:51] I dont think so Caboose885 [15:51] herby_trax: if the address es 192.168.0.1, can it be altered to 192.168.1.8? [15:51] pythonirc101: http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/10/split-mp3-files-with-mp3splt/ may help at CLI [15:52] herby_trax: it is meant, can the address with the modem be altered from 0.1 to 1.8 [15:52] Refael_: no, only the last number can change, and i'd recommend >25 [15:52] ActionParsnip: I just need the command that splits a mp3 into 1 second chunk...already installed mp3splt [15:53] hey thanx ActionParsnip [15:53] It seems a little more stable [15:53] Im gonna start from here [15:53] ActionParsnip: Is it easy for me to change the items that are listed on the grub menu? See, I want my Mum to be able to make sense of it [15:53] djxcqtion: its in synaptic or you can install it terminal by typing :sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [15:53] hi there channel :) [15:53] herby_trax: is the Gateway the modem IP address. or is the Subnet rather the modem IP? [15:54] ActionParsnip: I mean, change the text that is displayed [15:54] ok Caboose885..:) [15:54] What does it do though mate> [15:54] allows you to control compiz (the effects) on your computer [15:55] Refael_: Gateway is the modem IP address [15:55] right [15:55] thanx mate [15:55] Caboose885: that worked perfectly [15:55] when I boot the IDE hd it says: error: no such partition. grub rescue> _ how can I solve that? [15:55] thegoodcushion: my grub knowledge is minimal, If you use the guide I gave it will put windows at the top [15:56] ActionParsnip: I worked out from the guide how it works [15:56] cu folks [15:56] herby_trax: is static routing the same as setting a static IP address? [15:56] dury: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub to the drive [15:56] I have apache2 running on my local system for development. I wanted to close the port so no one could access it from any system besides my localhost. Is there an easy way to do this? [15:56] thegoodcushion: cool :) [15:56] Refael_: nope, leave the routing to auto [15:56] ActionParsnip: I'm getting rid of the stupid things like memtest [15:57] thegoodcushion: if you uninstall memtest it will remove it [15:57] in my experience if your ram isn't working the thing won't boot that far anyway [15:57] thegoodcushion: it's on the liveCD too ;) [15:57] herby_trax: in a separate modem/router configuration, where is the static IP configured? [15:58] thegoodcushion: you can make custom menu entries under the /etc/grub.d/ directory [15:58] thegoodcushion: it even has an empty 40_custom file waiting for you ;) [15:58] Caboose885: Yes, I can [15:58] ActionParsnip: when I boot the liveCD there is not option for that.. [15:58] dury: when you see the stickman screen, press SPACE and you will [15:59] Refael_: Modems usually give out IP addresses using DHCP. For static IP's you can set them on each computer instead. [15:59] ActionParsnip: stickman screen what's that? [16:00] dury: with the keyboard and little man at the bottom [16:00] dury: keyboard input = human interaction, is what it means [16:00] dury: not seen this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fjw6yl1x3Zc/TVUlk_57J_I/AAAAAAAAAEg/cljA9QoAW7o/s1600/boot.png [16:00] ActionParsnip: see what I can do... hang on [16:01] herby_trax: it gives error in router config that the WAN & LAN are the same, & to proof them [16:01] hey Caboose885 successfully insattled Compiz..Thanks :)..now any reccommeded effects to take out mate? [16:01] ActionParsnip: ok I know what you mean...one minute please [16:01] any reccomeded settings? [16:01] dury, what is the prob?? [16:02] hi! [16:02] djxcqtion: you looking for flashy or plain? ;) [16:02] Refael_: leave WAN to auto, LAN is what we were dealing with here [16:02] Hi qwertyuio [16:02] a sec [16:02] any scripting GURU in here? ;) [16:02] veru very plain mate..just want use it [16:02] !anyone | qwertyuio [16:02] qwertyuio: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [16:02] qwertyuio: #bash (and use real questions instead of "anyone") [16:03] Refael_: Setup computer's static LAN IP on the computer network settings not the modem config [16:03] basic would be the best..i seem to have no 3d accelarator [16:03] I have an intel 865g so unity no supporetd [16:03] djxcqtion: well I think the standard setup is pretty plain. I really like Wobbly Windows but that might be to flashy for your taste [16:04] already disables [16:04] herby_trax: resolved it, gracias [16:04] disabled.. [16:04] :).. [16:04] you can change the window animations under Animations [16:04] Refael: well done. [16:05] or if you want to disable all desktop effects you can turn them off under System-->Preferences-->Appearence-->Visual Effects [16:05] will do that mate [16:05] I'm trying to install Xubuntu through Wubi on this machine. When I reboot into the installer, the installer seems to take forever on Verification - more details reports a ValueError on the current arch: what do I do? [16:05] Is there anyway to go back to an earlier version from here Caboose [16:06] cause this is clearly not working for me [16:06] A shame, as I'm getting full colour Plymouth at a crisp, proper resolution. === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [16:06] djxcqtion: it seems the only way to "roll back" is to clean install an older version [16:06] ActionParsnip: Thanks, that did the trick. Looks like I won't be able to use unity however. Having one monitor on top of another kills unity's usability completely. [16:07] ActionParsnip: Are you aware of a way to use the unity launcher with the standard gnome panels? [16:07] thegoodcushion: what I did to customize grub and save time was copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file into the 40_custom file and made the changes from that. [16:07] thegoodcushion: then run sudo update-grub and you should be good to go [16:07] What do u reccomend : Ubuntu 11.04 without unity (using claasic without effects) and it being buggy OR Ubuntu 10.10(which ran perfectly? [16:07] hello, ima noob and dont hate me for it! [16:08] tamale_: not sure, i believe if you log into classic desktop then run: compiz --replace you may get luck [16:08] bob3291: if you have a question, ask it [16:08] ActionParsnip: Actually, I just logged into ubuntu classic and ran 'unity-2d-launcher' [16:08] djxcqtion: I run 10.10 because 11.04 was to buggy for me as well [16:08] can provide me with some information regarding installing files with .tar.gz extension?! thanks [16:08] ActionParsnip: looks almost perfect.. except that launches the panel as well which I didn't want. === pvoccio_ is now known as pvo [16:08] Anybody know why I'm not progressing in the installer? The GTK frontend has had an exception for me [16:09] bob3291: there are compressed files [16:09] tamale_: you can remove one panel, you must have a panel, or you can edit gconf so it doesn't keep gnome-panel running [16:09] !tar | bob3291 [16:09] bob3291: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [16:09] bob3291: what is the file for? [16:10] I just did some minor partioning? Will taht effect anything when I roll back or unisntall? [16:11] join #bitcoin-otc [16:11] djxcqtion: I would tell Ubuntu to manually define the partitions. That way you can tell it to install to just the current 11.04 partition [16:11] djxcqtion: it will formate everything on there so back up your files :) === mathieu is now known as matbee [16:12] ActionParsnip: I do want my gnome panel though.. I just want the unity 'launcher' when I press super key [16:12] question? does anyone know howto fix the display error after installing ubuntu on a mac via bootcamp [16:12] I never really used 11.04 [16:12] herby_trax: in network connections, what should be entered for DNS Servers? [16:12] Booted from live lubuntu cd .....want to install it .....but when I select any menu item & press enter keyboard hangs [16:12] I was using ti on Wubi [16:12] sorry my internet decided not to work [16:12] ActionParsnip: However, I don't want the list of icons [16:12] all is upp and running, but the display are garble [16:12] Refael: DNS servers you get from your ISP [16:13] djxcqtion: oh. Well I'm guessing if you just remove the existing wubi install and install the older version it should work just fine [16:13] tamale_: then set something else as therequired component in gconf-editor (I believe that keeps it running) [16:13] Hi friendly Ubuntu peeps, I have a problem: [16:13] tamale_: just remove the window list from the gnome-panel and you shouldbe ok [16:13] I have 11.04 on my laptop, but I cannot log in to any session except a terminal from GDM [16:14] herby_trax: can multiple configurations be honored? similar to use a custom config specific times, then return to the "auto etho"? [16:14] I have no idea what's wrong.

I don't see the need to change anything else. [16:15] damn... [16:15] ActionParsnip: press space... I got Try ubuntu without installing. Install Ubuntu. Check disc for defects. Test memory.

[16:16] champ: Mac4Lin is probably the best one out there [16:16] dury: adds more options, good stuff huh :) [16:17] anyone with help? I've tried Googling my problem, but found no solutions [16:17] herby_trax: though there is space for multiple configurations in the Network Connections window. Wherein is 1 honored & the other disabled? [16:17] ActionParsnip: done :). i set up repo in synaptic and installed using aptitude [16:17] ActionParsnip: thanks agian [16:17] champ: grab the maverick one [16:17] mus000_, I just got here. What is your problem? [16:17] anybody know about the xubuntu installer crashing pre-install? [16:17] carpi: np man [16:17] It's crashed on verifying [16:18] ActionParsnip: add more options. It's not an option [16:18] edbian: I cannot log in to any session from GDM (except recovery console) [16:18] ActionParsnip:is it stable ?.

[16:18] Refael: not sure [16:18] ActionParsnip: what you mean [16:18] edbian: but I need my laptop soon which is why I came here instead of waiting for an answer there [16:18] ActionParsnip:what is the its file size ? [16:18] edbian: I am not sure what tty1 is [16:18] dury: you can do a memtest there. Is that not what you want? [16:19] mus000_, press ctrl + alt + F1 to go to tty1, press ctrl + alt + F7 to go back to the gui [16:19] ActionParsnip: I'm using Wubi, no dice [16:19] ack [16:19] It's a Python ValueError about arch [16:19] edbian: how do I go to tty1? [16:19] if you are using wubi, you deserve whatever problems you have [16:19] oops [16:19] mus000_, press ctrl + alt + F1 [16:19] mus000_, hahahah [16:19] I don't want to commit to ubuntu on that PC [16:19] could anyone provide me with information on how to install .tar.gz files [16:19] ActionParsnip: when I boot the IDE hd it says: error: no such partition. grub rescue> _ [16:19] edbian: OK, I'm back at the login screen [16:20] edbian: what now? [16:20] ampharos, you can boot an ubuntu disk to do a memtest [16:20] the CD drive is slow and it has low ram [16:20] mus000_, switch to tty1 and try to log in there [16:20] it worked fine [16:20] dury: ahhh ok then you want to try ubuntu so you get the desktop, you can then chroot to the installed OS and manipulate grub [16:20] mus000_, when you log in at gdm what errors do you get? [16:20] edbian: and back at GDM it tells me that I am logged in [16:20] it's happened a different PC with the same variant of onboard GFX [16:20] dury: also, all drives are IDE, I am imagining you mean PATA [16:20] edbian: no errors, simply a blank screen [16:20] so this is not specific to my PC === fred_ is now known as Guest95588 [16:21] i also don't want to burn a disc, and partition: I just need to test out an installed environment without partitioning: and this is what wubi should be letting me do [16:21] mus000_, wait. You mentioned that gdm says you're already logged in implying it would not let you log in. Was the blank screen happening before you logged into tty1 ?? [16:21] ActionParsnip: not all drives are IDE there is sata too [16:22] ActionParsnip: in IDE is ubuntu in sata win7 [16:22] dury: IDE means "integrated drive electronics", if you look at the drive, the SATA drive has an IDE [16:22] ampharos: Do you have a USB thumbdrive? You could try it that way. Or Virtualbox [16:22] edbian: Let me rephrase: If I type in my password at the GDM, it just goes to a blank screen and I need to do a hard shut down [16:22] it doesn't boot from USb and virtualbox is brutally slow [16:22] edbian: But if I cntrl+alt+f1, then I can log in using my username and password [16:22] dury: old drives back in the day didn't have IDEs, all the intelligence was on the controller, when new drives with IDEs came out they were called IDE and itstuck [16:23] ampharos: how old is the computer [16:23] I want to run a fully installed, not live xubuntu environment on bare metal [16:23] 2004-ish [16:23] mus000_, ok, good. Have you changed anything that started this problem? Switched graphics drivers or anything like that? [16:23] ampharos: hmmm. Do you have a spare HD you could swap in it? :D [16:23] ampharos: do you have a floppy drive? [16:23] herby_trax: the router returns a different MAC address than "ifconfig" [16:23] nope [16:23] edbian: nope [16:23] no floppies, no spare HD, just a slow CD drive and windows [16:23] I had debian and Ubuntu installed side by side. I've deleted the debian partition and now it's free space. Can I expand the ubuntu partition to use the spare space? Will it just work? [16:24] ActionParsnip: so try without installing first... it's all right? [16:24] ampharos: bah, there is a floppy image to boot usb [16:24] ActionParsnip:what is the its file size ? [16:24] dury: yes then you can mess with the installed OS [16:24] ampharos: hmmm tricky situation [16:24] mus000_, restart the machine, switch to tty1, look at the output of dmesg, switch back to tty7 (the gui) try to log in, switch back to tty1, run dmesg again and look at the difference. [16:24] fuck it close window baww. [16:24] edbian: will do, back in 2 mins [16:25] champ: file size of what? [16:25] mus000_, Make sense? dmesg is a generic log. Problems are almost always posted there [16:25] thegoodcushion, yes , use a live cd partitoner like gparted to resize the partition [16:25] question? does anyone know howto fix the display error after installing ubuntu on a mac via bootcamp [16:25] edbian: If i just need to type in dmesg, I think i will be fine [16:25] BluesKaj: right. I can't do it from within Ubuntu while it's running on that partition? [16:25] and like I said I don't want to install onto an actual partition: wubi is the way to go fow [16:25] and i want wubi to work [16:25] seems like a normal prob, but does not find solution [16:25] ampharos: Are you sure that its not listing your thumbdrive under the hard drives of the BIOS? [16:25] mus000_, that's why we're logging in at the gui, to get some errors in dmesg that can show us some clues [16:26] thegoodcushion, no, you can't resize a mounted partition [16:26] mus000_, If that doesn't make sense ask now [16:26] Caboose885: I actually do want to install to the HD, just not as a partition, but loopback disk image [16:26] ampharos: I had a laptop from 2001 that listed a thumbdrive as a hard drive so thats how I had to boot it [16:26] how do i scroll upp in irssi? [16:26] LinSkyrate: page up [16:26] ampharos: install magicdisk and download the ubuntu ISO, MD5 test it then mount the ISO in windows and install it that way [16:26] ahh [16:27] LinSkyrate: pg up [16:27] with mac? [16:27] Is irssi the terminal irc client of choice for most of you? [16:27] ampharos: I know but if you can boot off the thumbdrive then you could install xubuntu to the thumbdrive [16:27] I have a CD drive, it's just slow [16:27] LinSkyrate: should be that same [16:27] Bonjour ici :) [16:27] ehm no page up here.. lol [16:27] mounted= partiton/device that is being used. thegoodcushion [16:27] Where is "Places" configured? I now have 3 entries to my NAS server, two of them work, I want to remove the broken one and one of the duplicates. [16:27] and don't want to waste bandwidth slash disc [16:27] BluesKaj: gotcha [16:27] il est géant votre serveur !! [16:27] LinSkyrate: no page up in mac, wow thats crazy [16:27] ahh FN+arrov [16:27] ampharos: are you running windows xp? [16:28] yes [16:28] ampharos: system specs? [16:28] hello :) [16:28] tarvid: open nautilus and you should be able to rightclick them and remove them [16:28] back to my origin prob... display garble with Ubuntu installed on a Mac Mini.. anyone know the solution? [16:28] thegoodcushion, burn a gparted livecd and use that ...it's handy to have around as well [16:28] Pentium 4 Celeron, 2.4 ghz, 256 MB RAM, IDE HD, 75 GB, and Intel Extreme Graphics 82845GVSR === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [16:28] LinSkyrate: try the boot option: nomodeset [16:28] 1715 users !!! [16:28] lol [16:28] edbian: I ran dmesg, then went back to the gui, tried to login and it froze. Then I made a hard shutdown, and did the same === jose__ is now known as avernoso === ^Ciccios`OuT^ is now known as ^Ciccios^ [16:29] edbian: dmesg says the same [16:29] ampharos: those intel chips are a pain [16:29] what ? [16:29] mus000_, Everytime you reboot dmesg is wiped. Can you not switch to tty1 while the GUI is frozen? === chad is now known as Guest25984 [16:29] doesn't work [16:29] edbian: doesn't work [16:29] how to enter grub when boot? [16:29] i'm getting fine graphics though, crisp and full colour plymouth, so I'm not complaining. but the siltuation has nothing to do with gfx [16:30] aprilus: hold shift after POST [16:30] quelqu'un peut me dire c'est quoi ce serveur qui est énorme??????? [16:30] mus000_, I was afraid of that. I think something is wrong with the data on the hdd that the system needs to read while it is loading the gui. I suggest you check the hdd using tty1 [16:30] bastidrazor: thanks, I'll try [16:30] ampharos: what exactly happens when you try and install it via wubi? [16:30] Caboose885? [16:31] I can boot up to the installer, just that it stalls the ubiquity crashes with a ValueError [16:31] FiVeSeVeN: yes? [16:31] the gtk frontend still works, just it stalls doing nothing [16:31] you speak french? [16:31] FiVeSeVeN: no, sorry [16:31] edbian: how should I do that? [16:31] ActionParsnip, thanks [16:31] no problem :( [16:31] thank you [16:31] mus000_, Looking it up. hang on [16:31] edbian: thanks, a google search isn't helping me much, I'm afraid [16:32] this server is american Caboose885? [16:32] mus000_, sudo shutdown -rF now makes the system shutdown and reboot now, the F makes it check the hdd on the next boot. Switch to tty1 and run that command [16:32] FiVeSeVeN: no, but the language for support is english. Just like the UbuntuForums [16:32] ampharos: could grab the minimal ISO and you will install from the repos. This assumes your hardware works with the default drivers [16:32] edbian: thanks, back in 2 mins [16:33] okay okay :) [16:33] mus000_, The disc check might take some time [16:33] FiVeSeVeN: have a look in #ubuntu-fr for assistance in French. [16:33] oh merci [16:33] I've said many times I don't want to commit to installing to a partition: I want to install into a removable loopback image [16:33] :) [16:33] ampharos: I'm afraid your hardware just might not let you [16:34] I've tried with simi;ar hardware and software, it just won't work [16:34] I might have to run off of CD, and see if I can install === yyzz is now known as saivno6a [16:34] ampharos, then just use a live cd [16:34] yeah will download [16:34] ampharos: good choice, If it doesn't work well you might want to try Lubuntu [16:34] I'll come back with any questions. [16:35] * Caboose885 sigh [16:36] How do i remove Gnome Games without removing Gnome Desktop ? [16:37] how do i unistall 11.04? If I install 10.10 again does it automatically delete 11.04? [16:37] edbian: I ran the restart command twice, but saw no Check File System thingy that I see every 20 or so times I start up [16:37] woodzy: sudo apt-get --purge remove gbrainy gnome-mahjong gnomine [16:37] edbian: and I still can't log in [16:38] woodzy: in synaptic type "gnome-games" [16:38] So I'm trying to enable Coolbits, but my card isn't showing up in Xorg. Am I missing something? [16:38] and mark the pacage for removal [16:38] mus000_, Mmm hang on. [16:38] Unintallation for 11.04? [16:38] edbian: thanks! [16:38] djxcqtion: you will need to delete the partitions currently holding Natty and install to the free space [16:38] hello, can i use opendns here? [16:38] ActionParsnip:what is the its file size of mac theme? [16:38] woodzy: apt-cache search gnames | grep gnome [16:38] djxcqtion: be sure to backup anything you need === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [16:38] djxcqtion: it will format 11.04 off the drive. just back it all up [16:38] mus000_, Thanks for your patience [16:39] hello, can i use opendns here? i'm running xubuntu 11.04 [16:39] *games [16:39] mus000_, sudo touch /forcefsck this creates a file in / that tells the system to check on boot. Run the command and then reboot. This one I have actually done before. The shutdown command I think is only on fedora [16:40] champ: let me see [16:40] alvin_: sure, why couldn't you? [16:40] alvin_, What do you mean 'here' ?? [16:40] champ: Length: 41991648 (40M) [application/x-gzip] [16:40] edbian: thanks, back in 2mins [16:40] i already added the dns server in the network config, but when i browse its always saying blocked by opendns [16:41] mus000_, sure [16:41] So I'm trying to enable Coolbits, but my card isn't showing up in Xorg. Am I missing something? [16:41] ActionParsnip:how to install it anyway?. i just finished doenloading it. [16:41] Wolfkstaag: you enable it in xorg.cof last time I tried [16:42] champ: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/make-ubuntu-look-like-mac-osx-in.html the page tells you [16:42] Is there any simple way to close ports in ubuntu so only my local system can access them? [16:42] edbian: sipior: here in xubuntu.. i already added the dns server in the network config, but when i browse its always saying blocked by opendns [16:42] ActionParsnip: That's what I mean, though. The only things showing in my Xorg.conf are my mouse and a random, basically blank entry. [16:42] #imm-dev [16:42] champ: you will need a switch on the install.sh file so it doesn't care you aren't using Maverick [16:43] alvin_, blocked BY opendns ?? That implies that the sites you're trying to view are not allowed by opendns [16:43] Wolfkstaag: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig you will get one [16:43] edbian: it's checking... [16:43] hello ya'll. Does anyone know of a system wide equalizer for ubuntu 11.04?? TIA! [16:43] mus000_, good [16:43] mus000_, Is it finding anything? [16:43] edbian: not sure [16:44] it finished, and i tried logging in [16:44] same problem [16:44] edbian: but why in windows i can browse for those sites? [16:44] Hi. On my production servers I'd like for Users to be prompted to enter a description of what work they're performing upon SSHing in. Ideally I'd log the message to the auth.log or something similar. Anyone have experience doing something like this? I'm trying to determine the best place to do this. Should I specify a PROMPT_COMMAND in my authorized keys files? Do I need to create a custom shell that invokes bash after [16:44] alvin_, I have no idea [16:44] ActionParsnip: That looks better. Thanks! [16:44] re [16:44] Wolfkstaag: np :) [16:44] edbian: have you tried this dns? === angelo is now known as angelo_scorza [16:45] alvin_, I use open dns all the time. I doubt it is blocking sites for you. I have never seen it block any site ever [16:46] thx everyone [16:46] but why can't i? [16:46] alvin_, I suspect your ISP is not allowing you to use openDNS. This is a GUESS [16:46] alvin_: try changing to oogle's [16:46] *google's [16:46] I have an Ubuntu partition after a debian partition. I'm getting rid of debian. I'm using a gparted live CD to resize the Ubuntu partition so that it takes up the space of the debian partition. Gparted has warned me that moving the start sector of Ubuntu might cause it to fail to boot. Should I be worried about this or should I go ahead? [16:47] Is there an easy firewall app for 11.04? I'm running an httpd for testing and only want localhost to have access. [16:47] open dns works ok if you're in the US , I found that it wasn't syncing with my IP address so I wasn't getting emails . altho the opendns settings trackers was enabled [16:47] lifeforce4: try ufw or firestarter [16:47] I use dnsmasq to try and keep dns local, then use my ISPs [16:48] google dns on the other hand works without any special settings ...it's much more reliable [16:48] actionparsnip, what do u mean oogle's? [16:48] alvin_: was a typo, note the next line... [16:48] alvin_: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 [16:48] Of the two twitter apps I've tested (gtwitter and twitux, on 11.04), neither one can auth to twitter (one says access denied, the other says connection failed). I can login to the web interface with the same username and password, so I know the password is correct. Anybody using those apps? [16:49] Or are they known to be not working? [16:49] alvin_: using dnsmasq as ActionParsnip suggested is a great idea. it makes 2nd visits to webpages very fast. [16:49] mus000_, Check this out: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=blank+screen+on+gdm+login&aq=f&aqi=g-v1&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=e4d813b43c7d221c [16:49] dnsmasq seems complicated ActionParsnip ...was considering it but the tutorial I was following lost me :) [16:49] cannonball: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/ [16:49] ahh, see where will i put those dns? in the automatic (address only)? [16:49] mus000_, I have to go. That first thread seems very similar to our problem. [16:50] ActionParsnip: many thanks [16:50] BluesKaj: you just need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf so it listens to 127.0.0.1 then set the interface to DHCP address only, then set the DNS to 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8 [16:50] mus000_, Also, boot a live CD and see if that freezes. It will help determine if this is a hardware or software error [16:50] edbian: thanks, I will check out the thread and get back to you [16:51] BluesKaj: editting a single text file, then using network manager to use 127.0.0.1 as the first DNS, not hard at all [16:51] edbian: give me about 5-10 mins [16:51] alvin_: automatic (DHCP) addresses only ...will allow you to set DNS servers [16:52] ActionParsnip, NM? ..i haven't used it since you showed me that /etc/network/interfaces could run the ethernet conn itself [16:53] mus000_, Gotta go! Goodluck! [16:53] edbian: thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it! [16:53] BluesKaj: then define the dns in /etc/resolv.conf [16:54] BluesKaj: makes it even easier, add the top line: nameserver 127.0.0.1 [16:54] BluesKaj: /etc/resolv.conf is where it looks for dns servers or dnsmasq can look in another file if you specify it in the dnsmasq.conf.. since sometimes resolv.conf is overwritten. [16:56] edbian: still doesn't work [16:57] bastidrazor, the /etc/dnsmasq.conf here is blank , so I can achieve the same effect if I setup /etc/resolve.conf as action mentioned ? [17:01] herby_trax: so you were suggesting a static IPAddress needs to be obtained from the Internet Service Provider? === mang0 is now known as mang0|AFK === guillermo_ is now known as Onionhead [17:05] hello all [17:06] Is it possible to execute code in an authorized_keys file?

Does the router need it's dns set to auto or to the google dns IPs ? [17:17] 8.8.8.8 [17:17] bastidrazor, btw I added nameserver 127.0.0.1, as the top line in resolv.conf [17:17] BluesKaj: the routers dns doesn't matter. i use my ISP's for the router and set resolv.conf as 8.8.8.8 then my router as a fall back [17:19] d [17:19] hallo [17:19] bastidrazor, yeah i used n=both primary and secondary ns=ameservers in resolv.conf 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [17:19] mrkeuner: must be something wrong with network-manager [17:20] yes [17:20] err nameserver [17:20] i have put a image in /boot/grub and run update-grub. it says it finds the image. even though it does not appear when i boot [17:21] oh, it's 4.4.4.4 [17:21] i have also tried to set the image with grub customizer.. no luck [17:21] BluesKaj: dnsmasq.conf was empty? [17:21] hello [17:21] bastidrazor, yup [17:21] I have a quick question. [17:22] hello i am seeking help for audio, it doesn't work... [17:22] BluesKaj: then setting localhost as a nameserver isn't going to help. [17:22] I see a file with attribute "-r-sr-x---", what does "S" here stand for? [17:22] zal secondary google dns is 8.8.4.4 [17:22] BluesKaj: do you want a copy of the current dnsmasq.conf i use? [17:22] if anyone volunteers to pm me... just do it?

[19:22] hey I know this is not the right avenue to be asking this [19:22] prashant_123456: That boosts the spam score of your email, it looks like crap, it doesn't render properly in many mail clients, it adds no useful content, it explodes the size of your messages... [19:22] prashant_123456: Take your pick really. :-) [19:22] hi [19:22] But since Unity is not comaptible to my chipset should I change over to Fedora 15? [19:23] Corey, ok so u think its almost impossible [19:23] prashant_123456: Of course it's not impossible, it's just a dumb idea. [19:23] I just installed ubuntu, but I can't seem to boot my old OS. Is there some way to fix this? [19:23] Corey, any way to do that [19:23] But since Unity is not comaptible to my chipset should I change over to Fedora 15? [19:24] Fedora vs Ubuntu? [19:24] My Ubuntu 10.10 said 11.04 upgrade available. Should I upgrade ? [19:24] raoult1: That's up to you. Back up first. [19:24] djxcqtion: you can use regular ol' gnome on ubuntu too, or install unity2d [19:24] djxcqtion: the login screen lets you pick between classic gnome and unity [19:24] well classic Ubuntu seems to be giving me issues as well [19:25] thx Corey I think I will update [19:25] Ubuntu 10.10 was excellent and ran well [19:25] raoult1, burn a iso or load a usb and try it out you may need the disc for a tool. [19:25] Classic seems to give problems on the Intel 82860G Card [19:25] It doesn't look like the file system is mounting either [19:26] djxcqtion, stay with 10.10 [19:26] well im loooking to reinstall it Benkinooby.. [19:26] its just that Fedora has a new version out and it seems compitable.. [19:26] any channel to join motorola linux [19:27] prashant_123456: ##linux would be a good start [19:27] djxcqtion: you don't want to use 11.04, right? [19:27] djxcqtion, fedora has usually more bugs than ubuntu... but you can give it a shot ;) i usually install the minimal version of ubuntu, and then add what i need [19:27] hi, what is this "package not installed" stuff on the "personal file sharing preferences" window ? === fred_ is now known as Guest32589 [19:28] about "share files over the network" [19:28] yup tensor..Thanks for the article btw..It was really informative [19:28] how do I make a image backup of an Ubuntu 10.04 machine? [19:28] and useful..my PC is back to normal [19:28] djxcqtion: you probably want 10.04 then, because it's an LTS release [19:29] nit-wit thx I will take the risk ;) [19:29] well look into it [19:29] djxcqtion: if you use 10.10, you don't have an upgrade path to newer versions [19:30] thats right [19:30] djxcqtion: newer versions are still going to use unity though [19:30] I have Maverick, but I am afraid stuff is going to break if I upgrade to Natty, is that common? I do not use a lot of stuff and I haven't really altered my system [19:30] raoult1, cool just know that if you have to reload the grub2 bootloader that you only want to do it with a natty cd , per the grub developers [19:30] yeah..but I thought the aim of getting to Ubuntu was to use my old system with it [19:30] Fast and light [19:30] Unity just spoilt that [19:31] djxcqtion: that's why there's Xubuntu and Lubuntu :P [19:31] How do I make an image backup of an Ubuntu 10.04 machine? It's for a school assignment and the book is useless. [19:31] MK``: upgrading to 11.04 has caused some people some problems, due to some bugs [19:31] Cporter: look up clonezilla [19:31] ok. Thanks [19:32] tensorpudding: what kind? Will my installation break? Will I lose my files? [19:32] I upgraded to 11 and my mouse broke. [19:32] MK``: it doesn't cause you to lose files [19:32] well im definately been educted about various distros today [19:32] MK``: usually the problems are with graphics [19:32] I already have graphics problems with Maverick, i am hoping Natty will fix some of them :P [19:32] How can I access my C drive of windows from Ubuntu? [19:33] ziikutv: should be listed in the Places menu [19:33] I clicked on Browse all local disks [19:33] it shwos all partitions [19:34] except C drive (where I installed ubuntu as a partition) [19:34] Does anyone know how to input a Chinese full stop 。(U+3002 "Ideograpghic Full Stop") when using chinese tonepy SCIM? [19:34] ziikutv: C:\ refers to a partition, not a disk, and you can't install ubuntu on an ntfs partition [19:34] I need to add a "boot option" from advice in launchpad, how and where do I add a boot option? [19:34] I have another question. I'm a gamer and want to make mods and games for Linux. I think it will help with the popularity of Linux alot to have good games for it. Whar distro would be best for FPS and MMO gaming? [19:34] Well, a "drive" is a physical disk, so your windows stuff will be on a partition on that drive. [19:34] ziikutv: are you sure that your windows partition isn't listed? [19:34] If you installed Ubuntu over a partition with Windows on it, Windows is gone, unless you're referring to wubi [19:34] yes [19:35] I shall take a screen shot === Guest61722 is now known as ssfdre38 [19:35] I do enjoy Ubuntu's support system...its fabulous...ur a click away from help :) [19:35] clonezilla [19:35] how can i get my php irc bot to stay on when i close out the ssh [19:36] Where is the applications menu I can't find "Take a snapshot" [19:36] oops, wrong window [19:36] why dosent some installed application show up in app menu [19:36] well, going to try to upgeade now, wish me luck. ullu: may not have made a shortcut [19:36] i accidentally ran apt-get remove openssh* [19:37] now my printer refuses to work [19:37] see if there is one in /usr/share/applications [19:37] it doesn't appear anymore in my list of printers [19:37] ullu: It's a CLI app?

Cause from my experiences its not very useful, kdevelop and MSVS are WAY better IDE's than codeblocks. Am I missing something? I mean codeblocks can't even open a project based on a generic makefile. This isn't my first time using it either, the other times didnt fair much better. [19:42] slack-m, no I have it installed,, kdevelop was far superior but hey what do I know :) [19:42] On 11.04, I typed sudo apt-get install nvidia-current before I realized that there was an icon to install restricted drivers. Shall I just proceed with the command? [19:42] coz_, im coming to the same conclusion [19:42] coz_, ive just heard so many rave about codeblocks [19:42] but its junk imo [19:42] thegoodcushion: there is no difference between them, if it works fine, all it's correct [19:43] ok good [19:43] slack-m, I understand..I just looked and apparently I un-installed it [19:43] can someone help me with banshee issue ?

The USB connected webcam works. The indicator light turns on and works with Cheese. [19:48] Odd thing: the light turns off when Cheese is launched and turns back on when I quit. Is this normal behavior? [19:48] the first one, just the black and white installer boot menu [19:48] http://yfrog.com/jbscreenshoteynp I do not see C Drive in that folder how come?

[19:48] slack-m, rebooting, I really hope thats the final key to my puzzle! [19:48] agrundner: since when do you mount webcams [19:49] ziikutv: perhaps its being called another name? linux doesn't use the "C" naming [19:49] excuse me: mount and unmount the webcam in 11.04 [19:49] orbital_, it sounds like your blacklisting in the wrong place too [19:49] orbital_, pastebin your blacklist file [19:49] isn't it a USB mounted device? [19:49] celthunder, its a new computer, just built [19:49] celthunder: what's the proper term? [19:49] slack-m, etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf? [19:49] yes [19:49] celthunder: this is on ubuntu 11.04 (host and guest). the host has two NICs. I have a bridge (br0) on the second nic (eth1 <-> vnet0) [19:49] pastebin that [19:49] agrundner: idk but mount doesn't seem right... === root is now known as Guest59253 [19:50] slack-m, sec, little slow going from one to the other via usb key [19:50] peydude: ok does vnet0 get a valid ip on the same network / subnet as eth1 [19:50] celthunder: so is there a way to turn off the webcam while keeping it connected to the PC? [19:50] can ubuntu run gnome 3 ? [19:50] ubuntu11.04 [19:50] orbital_, ah [19:50] agrundner: just stop using it? unload the kernel modules controlling it? [19:50] celthunder: i have a static set (same subnet as my eth0 which works) [19:51] celthunder: not what I'm looking for. [19:51] asus: yes, but it's not supported === user__ is now known as quint [19:51] !gnome3 | asus [19:51] asus: 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. [19:51] ok, im using gnome 2 instead of unity [19:52] ok so.. yeah im still having issues, would someone tell me what packages are removed when you execute sudo apt-get remove openssh* [19:52] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. The mouse works fine, as do my function keys like brightness and my num pad. However the qwerty part of my keyboard isn't recognized. It's really confusing. [19:52] peydude: ok can you try dhcp for a bit to see if the guest can grab dhcp make sure the bridge setp isn't faulty [19:52] that would really help me alot [19:52] celthunder: also i don't have an ip on the bridge or eth1 (so they are transparent) just have an ip on the guest [19:52] peydude: also did you setup a route that's right? [19:52] i dont like unity 3 [19:52] if i cant get it to get past the install boot menu should i try rescue? [19:52] slack-m, http://pastebin.com/XqzvgxgA [19:52] asus: install whatever wm makes you happy [19:53] celthunder: yep the route is correct. let me try dhcp and see if i have any luck. btw i switched to the virtio driver per the kvm networking page i found in the docs [19:53] orbital_, one min [19:53] Essentially I cannot login b/c I cannot type in the password. I also tried plugging in a usb keyboard, which exhibits the same behavior (brightness works, qwerty doesn't) [19:53] lets wait and see what ubuntu 11.10 uses [19:54] asus: then try KDE or XFCE (xfce isn't as light as was years ago) [19:54] Guiri: did you sellect some random keyboard layout that doesn't match your keyboard [19:54] hey orbital_ well thats all correct [19:54] is it still loading b43? [19:54] asus: try xmonad [19:54] and orbital_ what chipset is it? [19:54] would someone tell me what packages are removed when you execute sudo apt-get remove openssh* [19:54] i have extensive experience with b43 [19:54] in fact, im ok with old gnome [19:54] celthunder: No. Also, changing the layout doesn't enable the keyboard (for example from USA Mac to just USA). [19:54] quint: openssh-server openssh-client most likely [19:54] slack-m, I just checked lshw -class network, and it still seems to load the b43-pci-bridge driver [19:55] yes, but it took lots of other stuff along with it [19:55] slack-m, I have a BCM43xG [19:55] well the webcam is shown as /dev/video0 <~ so is there a command to disable and reactivate via the terminal? === derp is now known as ^ [19:55] i just wanted to give a shot on gnome 3 [19:55] asus: keep in mind that it won't be supported forever [19:55] orbital_, xG? [19:55] not sure why but im unable to print and i installed cups [19:55] orbital lspci says what? [19:55] before running this command i was able to print [19:55] quint: which printer? did you install everything you need? === aaron is now known as Guest41126 [19:55] true BB === Guest41126 is now known as geeksmith [19:55] slack-m, lspci shows the driver as b43-pci-bridge [19:55] quint: why would your printer use ssh [19:55] ill wait 11.10 [19:55] but I've installed ndiswrapper and trying to over ride it [19:56] slack-m, and yes, xG [19:56] it took a whole bunch of other packages that were unrelated [19:56] celthunder: It works during yaboot just fine. I'm wondering if there's a way to troubleshoot before it gets to X, where it seems to not recognize the full keyboard? [19:56] or at least get access to apt-get [19:56] i assumed it would be ok but it wasn't it even took open office :S [19:56] slack-m, it was marketed as a microsoft mn-730 [19:56] meanwhile im staying with ubuntu 11.04 and gnome 3 [19:56] * BluesKaj wonders how removing openssh , can disconnect a printer [19:56] "2" [19:56] sorry [19:57] quint: you did something besides removing openssh* then [19:57] orbital_, well, im unsure of what to tell you, i have a lot of experience with BCM4322 BCM4312 and another BCM43xx card, but not that one [19:57] i havent even heard of that one [19:57] BluesKaj: yeah i think he typed more than apt-get remove openssh* somewhere [19:57] BlouBlou [19:57] a question [19:57] all i did was remove openssh* and it prompted me to remove a whole mess of other packages [19:57] unrelated to openssh [19:57] asus: ask it [19:58] slack-m, All I need at this point is to remove b43/b43legacy, or anything else that would conflict with the driver I installed through ndiswrapper. [19:58] i have an issue with banshee [19:58] when i try to play a song [19:58] i assumed it would be ok since i explicitly instructed openssh* [19:58] orbital_, i understand that, but your blacklist.conf looks proper [19:58] so i dont know what to say [19:58] nothing happens, until i read that importing media will work [19:58] orbital_, im a slackware user, i only have ubuntu on a server [19:58] but it proceeded to fully remove the other packages, i just need to know what ones were removed, where can i find a log? [19:58] slacm-m, What if I manually deleted b43/b43legacy? [19:59] celthunder, unless it's a networkprinter setup visa ssh [19:59] and yes it works but, i need to do it everytime ! [19:59] im running 10.04 [19:59] orbital_, well it wouldnt load them then [19:59] quint: /var/log/apt [19:59] is there a "fix" to this issue ??? [19:59] orbital_, not sure if you would have an adverse sideffect or not [19:59] slack-m, LOL Maybe I'll give that a shot. [19:59] I'm on a fresh install, I'm not worried. [19:59] YES. thank you celthunder, you are a life saver :P [19:59] Hi, im running ubuntu 11.04, is their anyway inside ubuntu to downgrade? [19:59] !downgrade | IzcRaZY [19:59] IzcRaZY: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [20:00] slack-m, Anyway, thanks dude! [20:00] orbital_, anytime, sorry i couldnt be of more help [20:00] damn [20:00] i thank all of you who have given me input, i must go now [20:00] peace [20:00] IzcRaZY: why would you want to [20:00] Hello, any idea why gtalk voice is "clicking" on empathy? [20:00] i'm trying to get my tv tuner card working with tvtime, and scanning works, but its not finding any channels. while plugging the cable in my tv works just fine, any ideas? [20:01] I have an old disk of ubuntu somewhere, is thier a way i can update that to like 10.04? instead of 11.04 (I hate 11.04) [20:01] hello [20:01] Why is sharing with Windows always so wonky? [20:01] Is it supposed to be on and off? Or pretty solid? [20:01] celthunder - i dont like 11.04 [20:02] if im using this box as a small business server to share word, and pages files, and photos, should i use basic ubunut or samba? [20:02] then reinstall the newest LTS version [20:02] IzcRaZY: ^ [20:02] calvind1: ubunut or samba? what the hell is that? [20:02] ubuntu [20:02] BlouBlou? LTS Version? [20:03] whois carl_mauldin_ [20:03] why i need to import media, before playing music on Banshee ??? [20:03] Hee hee! [20:03] sorry, i assumed you could figure out what i meant [20:03] Ok, I downloaded clonezilla. How do I install and use it? I have been searching the website and it's not very helpful. I'm working with tight vnc on a remote machine. [20:03] calvind1: Ubuntu is not equals Samba... is like comparing an apple with a car [20:03] !lts | IzcRaZY [20:03] IzcRaZY: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [20:04] ubottu died? [20:04] BlouBlou: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:04] Is Samba sharing based off of UDP traffic? [20:04] well i am at the software selection screen of installing ubuntu server, an my options are basic ubuntu, openssh, lap, so on, and then samba file server [20:04] calvind1: Ubuntu has Samba, that means: you can use Samba for sharing within your Windows network [20:04] ok [20:04] thank you [20:05] BlouBlou: freenode's having lag issues [20:05] I am having trouble with Samba sharing with my windows 7 box, is it supposed to be slow and sometimes time out? [20:06] Ok, I downloaded clonezilla. How do I install and use it? I have been searching the website and it's not very helpful. I'm working with tight vnc on a remote machine. [20:06] Does anyone know where i can get ubuntu 10.04/10.10 version from? Im on ubuntu website but can't find it [20:06] i've got this tv tuner: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Zolid_Hybrid_TV_Tuner but its not finding any channels, altough im 99% sure it gets signal [20:06] IzcRaZY: Easiest link is probably http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [20:06] IzcRaZY, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ [20:06] substitute 10.04 with 10.10 if ou want [20:07] M0TRN_th1: cdimage is for secondary images like DVDs, not normal CD ISOs [20:07] M0TRN_th1, IzcRaZY Better to use 10.04, it will be update-able to 12.04 (both are LTS) [20:07] BlouBlou, right [20:07] sorry I always use the alternate cd [20:08] rww - so i can use a CD to put ubuntu on instead of a DVD? [20:08] looks like cdimage doesn't even have that anymore just the DVD version [20:08] IzcRaZY, the normal installer is CD size [20:08] DVD is not needed.. [20:09] I've always used USB or DVD [20:09] IzcRaZY: DVD has more translation-packs... [20:09] IzcRaZY: correct [20:09] is there a way to keep ubuntu from going to X? The keyboard only works when X loads and before that during boot is fine [20:10] hello/ i have one question - when i try to do this - http://itmages.ru/image/view/3673/a79304 . i cant press button "use unsafe storage". say me please - how can i fix it ? [20:10] hi [20:10] do you have to use the ...+mac.iso image when installing ubuntu on a macbook pro? [20:11] I have gwget and kget, is there any other better downloader for ubuntu instead of makin' me copying the download link and put it in the downloder app? [20:11] mongy: if it is an intel mac, use the normal cd, if it is a real mac, use the ppc version [20:11] something would be like internet download manager for example? [20:11] This is also interesting: Even the on-screen keyboard doesn't enter anything into the password field [20:11] iceroot, the ppc version is the +mac then? [20:11] and that can even enable me to download youtube videos in the same time [20:11] Jin: have a look at "jdownloader" [20:11] mongy: never heard of a +mac verson [20:11] sigh [20:12] !ppc | mongy [20:12] mongy: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [20:12] iceroot, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/release/ [20:12] okayz [20:12] thanks iceroot [20:12] iceroot, its an intel macbook pro 8.1 [20:13] no fix on my banshee isuue ?

(cross posting to #chromium) [20:13] hi, doesn unbuntu 32 bit suport 8gb ram? [20:13] Jin: yes [20:13] DuartmaN: only the pae-kernel [20:14] DuartmaN: but because of pae is bad, use the amd64 version [20:14] hello! i have a lexmark x1290 printer, scanner, coppier...i couldnt find any drivers for linux.... if i was to install wine, would the drivers work?! just wondering [20:14] How do I view a hidden process discovered by the unhide tool? I didn't see it list the name of the process. [20:14] iceroot: you mean to download ubuntu 64bit amd64 version? [20:14] DuartmaN, why also use 32bit? 64 is just as stable [20:15] iceroot, so whats that amd64+mac.iso alla bout ? [20:16] vooze: i have a sound card emu0404 pci, since five years that im trying to get it work on ubuntu and only get on ubuntu32 bit cant remember the version...

[20:17] dont know if someone here also use emu 0404 pci sound card??? [20:17] I'm sorry iceroot, i'm not really expert in ubuntu, I'm new to it and I know it would be a very stupid question... [20:17] you can install drivers in virtualbox, can you? [20:17] when i try to do this - http://itmages.ru/image/view/3673/a79304 . i cant press button "use unsafe storage". say me please - how can i fix it ?

[20:23] theborger bash is bash.... [20:24] theborger, the last time I used word it was on windows [20:24] theborger: if a bash script works on one system it'll work on another [20:24] BluesKaj: he means in scripting/programming i'm fairly sure [20:24] well, talk to you all later. [20:24] celthunder, so then why does !?tar not find the tar command i ran? [20:24] renschie, then try locate dosbox.conf [20:24] celthunder !-6 works [20:24] celthunder, quit spoiling my fun :) [20:24] freeburn, OK, thanks === overclucker is now known as overcluck [20:25] can anybody help me with seahorse?

[20:26] BluesKaj, serious are you just being Crazy? or did you fall on your head? Because it appers you have no idea what is going on [20:26] ubuntu sucks [20:26] Though so [20:26] theborger, that's ok insult me if you want .. sorry if my humour goes over your head [20:26] How can I restart the sound daemon? All of a sudden all of my music and notification sounds got garbled and distorted... [20:27] renschie: then try whereis dosbox.conf [20:27] theborger: hmm i'm not big on bash scripting (don't even use bash as my shell) but is it something in .profile/.bashrc [20:27] freeburn, ok [20:27] !en [20:27] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:27] celthunder, that is not a scrpt. it is part of bash [20:27] theborger: good to know (like i said...don't even use bash) [20:28] one minute i'll change m y shell see if it works for me [20:28] BluesKaj, that is not humour, were not in word or windows [20:28] freeburn, found it under /usr/bin [20:28] theborger, try ~/.bashrc in the run command ,alt+f2 [20:29] when i try to update i get held package error and broken packages, but if i switched mirror then no broken packages found [20:29] I need to upgrade my Ubuntu server from Jaunty to Lucid. Is this possible without a reinstall? [20:30] digital yes [20:31] Blueskaj, i am sshed, that has nothing to do with it. As i stated the other command like if i run !-6 it runs the 6th command back i ran but if i do !?tar it should search and find the tar command i ran in histroy [20:31] hi, i tried to upgrade from maverickk to natty last night but the installation faled part way thhrough, I now cannot get past "boot from (hd0,4) ext3, Starting up..." in the boot process, is there any way to get to a command line so i can repair?

[20:41] whenever i run lxde in ubuntu i notice certan problems....like i cant alter my mouse speed in mouse and keyboard [20:41] sue LjL didnt think that was spam, its about ubuntu, its about an issue (not being able to play netflix) and its about support, getting as many of us to get them to help us do it [20:41] woodt: thanks. I guess I don't really know how the "host" modem would have any idea when to answer either, but I'll check out AutoPPP [20:41] On 64-bit 11.04, I have done sudo apt-get install nvidia-current. Now if I look at Additional Drivers, it says that the nvidia drivers are activated but not currently in use. What do I do to ensure I have the proprietary drivers installed? [20:41] does anyone else have problems with lxde [20:42] BluesKaj: ah cool i figured you were joking i saw a few of your comments earlier and you didn't seem to be a moron [20:42] Zelozelos: well i put "spam" in quotes for those reasons, however it's still not appropriate here. no real harm done though! [20:42] andantino: such as? [20:43] well for one i cant change my mouse speed [20:43] i can if i use terminal [20:43] ls [20:43] andantino: so add it to your .xinitrc [20:43] celthunder, well, I've been called worse , so I'm used to it [20:43] !dash | theborger [20:43] theborger: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10).

I'm thinking of formatting my external hard drive to NTFS; is that a bad idea? [20:46] hello everybody. I have question. Is that possible replace grafic logon screen by text mode in ubu 10.10? [20:47] prezes: Yes [20:47] can u tell me please how? [20:47] EmuAlert: depends on the size of files types of systmes needing to read it how much you care about speed vs reliability etc [20:47] EmuAlert: what are you planning to use the drive for? [20:47] oCean, yep and Ctrl+r works fine its just the !?(searchforword) that is not working Also !-number works for running older commands but !(searchword) and !?(searchword) are not [20:48] prezes: In gooting options you need to remove splash (kernel line) and update grub.

[21:00] lspci output: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV [21:00] Hi guys! I have an NTFS partition of my internal hard drive that I use with Ubuntu. Right now, some files which I know I deleted show up in directory listings, and when I try to delete them again, I get an error saying they don't exist. I've tried restarting the computer. What else can I do? [21:00] okay ! === maverickpi is now known as mav[zz] [21:01] okay!! thanks! [21:02] linelevel, if you installed ubuntu exclusively on that partition it is now formatted to ext4 , if not then you instlled ubuntu within windows with wubi [21:02] hi. i can't install wine1.3 along with lmms which depends on wine1.2 on natty. is there a workaround for this? [21:02] BluesKaj: No... this is a data-only partition. [21:04] . [21:04] linelevel, that sounds it could be a permissions setting that needs to be changed on the data files === ng_ is now known as NG_ [21:06] hello guys [21:06] is there any way of backing up the unity shell configuration? [21:06] BluesKaj: No, the files *HAVE* been deleted (moved, actually), but they've recently reappeared in their old directory. The error I get when I try to re-delete them is that they don't exist, it's not a permissions issue (which is the first thing I checked for). [21:06] what files are used for keeping my favourites? [21:06] whats the easiest way to get an DNS up and running for someone with little to no experience in doing so? [21:07] !dns | cillin [21:07] cillin: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [21:09] cillin: ndns or bind9? both are super easy [21:09] went with the guide :) bind 9 that is === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:10] linelevel, do you use nautilus/places to access the files? [21:11] BluesKaj: command line, but I checked Nautilus as well [21:11] linelevel, if you feel brave you can rm -rf /path/to/file in the terminal ..dunno if that's possble with ntfs [21:12] BluesKaj: I tried that before coming here.. that's where it gives me the error: rm: cannot remove `path/to/file': No such file or directory [21:12] BluesKaj: for each path/to/file which shows up in the listing [21:12] BluesKaj: Don't mean to be rude, but do you have any non-newb suggestions for me? This is a disk error, not human error, I promise you. [21:13] hi poeple.. short question: is there an easy way to dell aptitude or apt-get or dpkg or any of those tools to download a bunch of packages (one main app and its dependencies) to an usb-stick and then transfer it to another computer and somehow install it there without having to install each package manually? [21:13] Hi, I'm having problems with my display... 1) My display keeps cutting off bits, almost if the display has gone diaginally left&down... 2) How do I get more resolutions because none of these seem right for my monitor... | Using nvidia built in chip I think [21:14] linelevel: run the ntfs fsck equivilent (can't remember what it is, chkdisk?) === mactimes is now known as mactimes_afk [21:14] is there some way to make * wildcard random? [21:14] Anyone missing fullscreen controller for vlc too? [21:14] ThinkT510: Looking into that now, thanks. [21:14] Lcawte: Which resolution did you expect? If you do not know, how big is your monitor? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [21:15] kl_: fullscreen controller? [21:15] Lcawte: Are the restricted drivers installed? If not, are they an option or are you a purist? [21:15] alexgalax22: I don't understand your question. What do you want to do? [21:15] BlueEagle: I don't know either of them, before I upgraded and did a fresh install, I had... /me goes to grep twitter [21:15] a minor change in "/etc/bind/named.conf.options" is all i need to do in order to get a local name resolver??? [21:15] ThinkT510: yes [21:16] kl_: what do you mean? [21:16] BlueEagle: the only one that comes up is the novuea 3d support, which litterally breaks my display, nothing shows past splash... [21:16] what is the slideshow viewer in ubuntu please? [21:16] ThinkT510: It is a small box where you you seek, pause, play etc when you are in fullscreen [21:16] I made a stupid mistake of encrypting my home directory when installing Ubuntu [21:17] kl_: it auto hides at the bottom, move your mouse to see it [21:17] I just have noticed that my processor is 64bits compatible, is there a way to move from i686 to Ubuntu x86_64 without loosing my data ? [21:17] I can't seem to find a guide less that three years old on setting up encrypted wireless from cli/server. Trying to get WPA2 TKIP connection. The card itself is working. I am able to scan. wpa_supplicant is just ruining my life atm :P [21:17] stupid, because it seems Ubuntu didn't create the file for unwrapping the mount passphrase [21:17] ksni: did you record the passphrase (as suggested)? [21:17] hmm, never thought rm -rf /path/to/file as a newb command , but maybe it is to some , linelevel , what about just unmounting and remounting the partition ? [21:17] ThinkT510: Not there === skFIN is now known as skfin === stalcup is now known as vorian [21:18] guntbert: if it really did suggest, then probably I did record it [21:18] now I just don't have any idea where [21:19] Lcawte: So you are at current not able to use your ubuntu installation? [21:19] dusf: you could try libreoffice impress [21:19] I just have noticed that my processor is 64bits compatible, is there a way to move from i686 to Ubuntu x86_64 without loosing my data ? [21:19] anyway, when booting Ubuntu it still auto-mounts the directory, so it is recoverable somehow? [21:19] BlueEagle: yes I can, I don't have that 3d driver installed... but I'm missing like the bottom and left bits of my screen [21:20] Hi all, I want to make an exact server to server copy using rsync. Will that also copy the kernel? [21:20] hello [21:20] ksni: so you have access to your data right now? [21:20] Lcawte: Can you run nvidia-settings [21:20] BlueEagle: nope [21:20] hello, are anyone familiar with the GPL licence? [21:20] guntbert: if I boot into Ubuntu [21:20] hi, anybody know of a DEB package that contains php 5.3.6? [21:20] I have a gpl question and do not know where else to ask [21:21] ThinkT510: ty [21:21] Lcawte: have you attempted to install nvidia-settings ? [21:21] is it possible to decrypt the filesystem? [21:21] dusf: np, i've never tried it myself, hope it works for you [21:21] ksni: ok - good then you will be able to get the passphrase and record/store it in a safe place [21:21] BlueEagle: yes, but my graphics thing only works with nvidia-96, which has broken dependancies it seems [21:21] Lcawte: Which chip are you running? [21:22] BlueEagle: umm... its Geforce4 [21:22] nerdshell , back up your data to whatever media you have available , then reinstall the 64 bit version of ubuntu and copy the data back [21:23] Lcawte: Please run `lspci |grep nVidia` [21:23] is a "caching nameserver" sufficiant for ordinary home use or is there any advantages of running "primary nameserver"? [21:23] guntbert: is it possible to change the mount passphrase? and is there a reason for it being different from the login password? [21:23] cillin: A caching nameserver is plenty. [21:23] BlueEagle: long list of results, but I think the key ones are.. [21:24] BlueEagle: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) [21:24] that should be the one, yes. [21:24] BlueEagle: 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 IGP2 (rev a2) [21:24] caching nameserver should be enough [21:24] cillin: more server related help can be found in #ubuntu-server [21:25] ksni: step 1) record the passphrase : ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase $HOME/wrapped-passphrase 2) store it in a safe place 3) read up http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/ about the why and how [21:25] anybody here? [21:25] yes it works, first "dig" = 10 ms, second "dig" 0 ms responsetime, but is the database persistent? or wiped out on reboot? [21:26] Lcawte, have you installed the recommended nvidia driver in admin/additional drivers ? [21:26] hi [21:26] I change the defalute folder for apache2 [21:26] Danyk2099: many ... Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:26] but I faced issues [21:26] BluesKaj: I've already said to BlueEagle that the only one there is the stupid novuea 3d driver, which breaks more stuff (I can't get past splash with it installed) [21:26] this is ther error "The requested URL / was not found on this server." [21:27] Mrsome1: Check the "DocumentRoot" directive in your Apache config. [21:27] Lcawte, ok , bummer [21:28] Lcawte, is your pc more tha 5yrs old , or brand new ? [21:28] woodt: I changed to /var/http [21:28] but not work any more [21:28] BluesKaj: older I believe [21:28] Lcawte, then try using the alternate install cd [21:29] !alternate > Lcawte [21:29] Lcawte, please see my private message [21:29] BluesKaj: can I do it via tasksel or somethin? [21:29] done [21:29] Lcawte: The best I come up with is http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2341157 which may or may not help you. [21:30] BluesKaj: does the 64bits version worth it ? [21:30] !tasksel | Lcawte be careful [21:30] Lcawte be careful: Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information. Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 [21:31] how are you [21:31] Mrsome1: Just moving the files won't work. You also have to change the "DocumentRoot" setting in your Apache configuration. [21:31] Mrsome1: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [21:31] !hello | karim_ [21:32] hmm.. I was quite sure I had used that factoid before. [21:32] !hi [21:32] BlueEagle: it got removed a while ago [21:32] !brain | BlueEagle [21:32] BlueEagle: Hi!

[21:35] dusf: theres ristretto on xfce [21:35] <_Troll> hi [21:36] ThinkT510: it doesn't loop slideshow [21:36] how do I bring up grub2 for configurations please? [21:36] ThinkT510: the photoviewer in ubuntu 10.10 whatever it was called did [21:36] <_Troll> how to compile ubuntu v 2 ? [21:36] dusf: I have Image viewer as default and options are Firefox, Gimp and Shotwell. [21:37] BlueEagle: possibly that... [21:37] _Troll: ubuntu v2 dosn't exist... [21:37] <_Troll> are you sure? [21:37] dusf, I have f spot photo viewer, shotwell photo viewer, and the default image viewer [21:37] <_Troll> i want to compile it [21:37] dusf, gthumbviewer has slideshow [21:37] ActionParsnip: Don't feed the troll. [21:37] _Troll: very sure [21:37] ActionParsnip: You should know better. [21:37] <_Troll> BlueEagle: want some? [21:37] edbian, plouffe : do you know if any of those will resize a photo to fit screen and loop? [21:37] <_Troll> I want to compile new kernel [21:38] !kernel | _Troll [21:38] _Troll: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [21:38] <_Troll> I know what it is [21:38] dusf, yea , fits screen [21:38] <_Troll> can I compile it [21:38] _Troll: read the WHOLE factoid [21:38] <_Troll> new one with my patches [21:38] <_Troll> you read it! [21:38] dusf, and you can edit on the fly if you want to [21:38] plouffe: i think gthumb is image viewer? [21:38] dusf, image-viewer Is it that hard to look this up yourself [21:38] _is_ [21:38] _Troll: What's your actual question? :-) [21:38] _Troll: i know what it says, there is a link on how to compile it, which is what you said you wanted to do... [21:38] edbian: yes [21:39] olskolirc, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading [21:39] <_Troll> no [21:39] <_Troll> You guys need my patches [21:39] edbian: i googled for the default image viewer on ubuntu, results weren't great [21:39] <_Troll> ubuntu_Troll [21:39] dusf, eye of gnome is image viewer [21:39] dusf, you can view and edit. crop, resize etc [21:39] Thank you. [21:39] dusf, It is the default [21:39] seemed genuine to me ;) [21:39] hi [21:40] can anybody help me to change fonts in empathy the 'ubuntu" ? [21:40] dusf, it opens just as fast as any other viewer [21:40] When the Update Manager starts an upgrade, it always gets stuck waiting for me to open the "Details" section, read the change log, and press "q". Surely new users would have no idea it was waiting for that, so this is a bug. What package or config setting did I add that is making it do this? [21:40] erichammond: sounds like apt-listchanges === mav[zz] is now known as maverickpi [21:41] erichammond: software-centre maybe [21:41] testing [21:42] BlueEagle: aha, got the screen res I had before.. I had to troll through my twitter to get it.. 1280x1024 [21:42] wats up folks! [21:42] rww: Thanks, apt-listchanges makes sense and I did add it. I'll report this as new users could easily stumble into this if they click around installing insteresting looking packages. I tend to prefer the command line but was trying out the Update Manager since it prompted me to upgrade. [21:42] Just rolled back to 10.04 [21:42] :) [21:42] erichammond: In /etc/apt/listchanges.conf put: frontend=mail and: confirm=0 [21:42] is support extended to 10.04 btw? [21:43] djxcqtion, Yes but only because 10.04 is LTS [21:43] !10.04 | djxcqtion [21:43] djxcqtion: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [21:43] djxcqtion: 10.04 is an LTS, so it's supported until April 2013 on desktops and April 2015 on servers. [21:43] Lcawte: So you're fixed or is 1280x1024 not the correct resolution either? [21:43] thamks mate..but would people here be familiar with issues? [21:43] genii-around: Nice to know, but I still think this is a bug if simply installing apt-listchanges makes the update manager never upgrade without knowing an arcane series of keystrokes. [21:44] djxcqtion, Better here than anywhere else [21:44] BlueEagle: I can't get that resolution.. I now have the installer for the official Nvidia release of the right driver for me, but I don't know how to stop my x server so I can install it [21:44] can anybody help me with my question about empathy? [21:44] :) true true.. [21:45] BlueEagle: any ideas how to stop it? [21:45] Lcawte: first I would advise you to check that irssi is installed and that you're able to connect here with it. Then you need to go to a text terminal using (don't do it yet) CTLR+ALT+F1 [21:45] any recommadations on basic addons to 10.04? Articles are google are very vague...Must haves?Any info would ne wonderful mate :) [21:46] Lcawte: When you've done that start irssi and connect to irc.freenode.net and join this channel again and we'll take it from there. Please close any running applications in the X-server session before going to the text terminal. [21:46] BlueEagle: ok, just installing it [21:46] Lcawte, ctrl+alt+f1 , sudo service gdm stop , install the driver . sudo service gdm start , startx [21:46] djxcqtion: sure, lucid support runs upuntil just after Natty dies [21:46] BluesKaj: wouldn't startx be called by gdm? [21:47] hi [21:47] BlueEagle, not always [21:47] djxcqtion: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:47] BluesKaj: I learn something new every day. :) [21:47] BlueEagle: hang on, if I am using irssi, how can I install the driver at the same time? [21:47] i have edited my bash prompt colors but whe i rezize the window the color is gone how do i avoid this [21:47] BlueEagle, I've had to startx for some reason, dunno why [21:48] thats encouaging..just a quick question..why would they extend LTS to 10.04 and not to 10.10 and 11.04..I belive 12.x is gonna be LTS...Why would they miss the ones in between? any specific reason? [21:48] Lcawte: you can run irssi in the text console. If you had been using xchat or some other IRC client then you would have had a challenge. :) [21:48] Lcawte, hit f2 [21:48] IIAir_LeoII: if you then run: source ~/.bashrc does it return? === Lcawte2 is now known as Guest80412 [21:48] djxcqtion: this is a "support only" channel, for software suggestions please try to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic === Lcawte is now known as Guest45056 === Guest80412 is now known as Lcawte2 [21:49] i can take that :) [21:49] anyone know what ubuntu supports truemobile 1150? [21:49] yep but how i do keep it without having to use the command [21:49] hopee someone can help me [21:49] BluesKaj: I assume that'll work in the text console, does not work now.. [21:49] djxcqtion, There is a method to the madness: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:49] perlsyntax: all the ubuntus are the same, just use a differnent DE/ WM / default app selection [21:50] is there a way to exclude a certain extension from being previewed in nautilus?

[21:51] BluesKaj, what on tty7? [21:51] Can someone help me? [21:52] !tty [21:52] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).

[21:59] ActionParsnip,The odd part it work on sabayonm but i give that command a shot [21:59] edbian: Therefor I can't see the command. [21:59] perlsyntax: sabayon is a different distro so will have different stuff compiled in [21:59] engammalsko, ahhh, yes I can see that === trolling is now known as brianl|a [21:59] engammalsko, Hang on a second [21:59] edbian: Ok, thanks. === Zorlin is now known as Guest31517 [22:01] Hi, does anybody know where I can find a DEB package for php 5.3.6? [22:02] Danyk2099, you won't find one that works with current Ubuntu/Apache [22:03] some "Avahi" is complaining about fully qualified domain name, how can i change it to something else? like "homenet.org" or so [22:03] Danyk2099: in any case (with words of caution) : https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5/+packages [22:03] cillin: #ubuntu-server [22:03] Hey I know this is off topic but is it kosher for me to discuss Home Audio Equipment? [22:03] no, because it's offtopic [22:04] fair enough [22:04] I was just talking to somebody about keyboard shortcuts [22:04] who was it? [22:04] ha [22:04] JoeR1: off topic is off topic - so why do ask? [22:04] cillin, avahi is ever so annoying and ought to be disabled by default [22:04] edbian: engammalsko [22:04] engammalsko, I just checked. My keyboard shortcuts work in both ubuntu classic and untiy [22:05] engammalsko, Did you say custom ones work? [22:05] JoeR1, if audio home equipment has something to do with ubuntu then it's not offtopic [22:05] edbian: Yes, and almost all default. [22:06] engammalsko, do you have gnome-terminal installed? [22:06] edbian: But not the print screen nor the shell shortcut. [22:06] engammalsko, Try settings the default terminal and print screen utility in system - > preferred apps [22:06] I'm guessing now [22:06] edbian: I made a new, it works now :D [22:07] engammalsko, You made a custom call for ctrl + alt + T ?? [22:07] edbian: Just type gnome-terminal as command, but I can't still use the default one. [22:07] is there a command line .odt (open office) editor, perhaps not showing special formatting? [22:07] edbian: Yes. [22:07] engammalsko, well, there ya go [22:07] engammalsko, I think the default apps are set wrong on your system [22:07] any one have ideas on why screen won't allow my open the 41st window? I suspect its a resource limit somewhere, that I need to up [22:07] edbian: Is there a command for print screen? s [22:08] engammalsko, There must be but I don't know it. Something to do with screenshot utility probably [22:08] hello [22:08] edbian: Can I/you look it up somehow? [22:08] im wanting to change over to a linux distribution but i have data on a ext hdd that is ntfs [22:08] engammalsko, I'm trying to right now by looking at the launcher for screenshot utility in applications -> Accessories [22:08] edbian: Thanks alot : ) [22:09] does linux handle ntfs or will i need to somehow move this data [22:09] tidbitz: Linux can read and write NTFS [22:09] o sweet [22:09] tidbitz: It can handle it, download ntfs manager? [22:09] it will be read as easy as windows handles it [22:09] engammalsko, gnome-screenshot [22:09] engammalsko, sure [22:10] engammalsko, Glad I could help [22:10] rww: Submitted bug #787802 [22:10] Launchpad bug 787802 in apt-listchanges (Ubuntu) "Update Manager halts waiting for response to apt-listchanges hidden under Details" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/787802 [22:10] ok now on to ubuntu [22:10] which linux is most secure [22:10] Does anyone here have experience messing with /etc/apt/preferences ? === mang0|REHEARSAL is now known as mang0 [22:10] edbian: Yeah, thanks : ) The commands was pretty obvious haha. [22:10] I want some advice on how to fudge something. [22:10] tidbitz, They're all about the same. Damn Secure Linux is probably the most secure [22:10] engammalsko, :) Hard to guess though! [22:10] can anybody help me please with empathy fonts ? [22:10] ok cause im having issues with network security with this windows 7 [22:11] is this the right kinda place to throw up ideas? [22:11] edbian: Everything works now with the custom keys ^^ [22:11] I installed "lips of suna" but I can't find it anywhere - Why I hat install scripts instead of compiling [22:11] hate* [22:11] SamJ190494: no, this is the ubuntu support channel [22:11] engammalsko, Glad to hear it :) [22:11] How do I stop network-manager from loading at boot?

[22:13] yep, I got it [22:13] I guess I need to look at upstart === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [22:14] Caboose885 - I was being stupid, it says in the README that the game has to be launched in a terminal so of course I didn't find any shorcuts [22:14] I feel like an idiot [22:15] JoeR1: that was the next thing I was about to ask ;) [22:15] how do i get a wireless modem working in 10.04? [22:15] BlueEagle: right, I have the nvidia download installed... but I need you to have a look at my logs, because soemthing is broken [22:16] BlueEagle: (ubuntu pastebin) 612458 ... [22:17] HI I'd like to smalltall [22:17] hello all I am having problems in 10.10 with my Intel 82G33/G31 graphics chipset [22:17] what channel? [22:17] im looking in the wireless connections list but i can only see my wifi networks wi cant see the cellulr networks [22:17] *cellular [22:17] what? === Benwa is now known as nW44b [22:18] Younder: are you wanting to small talk about ubuntu? [22:18] BlueEagle: BluesKaj: see above, any ideas? [22:18] Lcawte: look at line 132 [22:18] Caboose885, yes [22:18] hello all I am having problems in 10.10 with my Intel 82G33/G31 graphics chipset [22:19] Younder: #ubuntu-offtopic [22:19] ThinkT510: how'd I fix it? [22:19] my numpad stopped working, how do i turn it back on via ubuntu? [22:19] how do i get a wireless modem working in 10.04? [22:19] So no one knows how to disable network-manager from starting at boot [22:19] Younder: or maybe #ubuntu-brainstorm [22:19] I believe one just has to remove /etc/init.d/network-manager [22:20] yigal, that does not sound like a good idea. [22:20] sorry 10.04 [22:20] hello all I am having problems in 10.04 with my Intel 82G33/G31 graphics chipset [22:20] yigal: can't you just disable the startup through GNOME? [22:20] trond-: why not [22:20] yigal: Preferences-->Startup applications [22:20] Lcawte: short story: you don't (it's the proprietry driver); why aren't you using the one that ubuntu recommends? [22:21] Caboose885: it's in there, great [22:21] yigal, because then you won't be able to start it at all I would believe. Follow Caboose885 suggestion. much more safe [22:21] is there a way I can "name" a terminal window so I know what it is controlling, just in the panel, without opening it>> [22:21] Caboose885: hopefully that really does work [22:21] trond-: that's not true [22:21] trond-: the file I pointed to was just a symlink to an upstart event [22:21] ThinkT510: because 'Ubuntu' recommends some rubbish firmware version that doesn't get me anywhere... and Ubuntus archived version of the same driver appears to have broken dependancies or something [22:21] I need help with flash, I cant write my login name at www.sharedtalk.com [22:22] Can I hide the skype window I want to keep open so that it doesnt always show in the panel? (similar to transmission) [22:22] Can I use mod_auth_mysql to check two tables users via SQL SELECT statement ? [22:22] any advice? [22:22] cyborgsmurf: what browser are you using? [22:22] Mrsome1, that's probably a question for mysql channel. [22:23] trond-: it is apache 2 [22:23] ok well I'm going to reboot using Caboose885's suggestion hopefully no network-manager but really it's not so bad I'll just have to manually turn it off [22:23] Caboose885: Firefox 4 [22:23] after boot [22:23] Mrsome1, then maybe apache channel. [22:23] cyborgsmurf: have you tried FlashAid addon? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/ [22:23] Lcawte: archived version? you shouldn't try to use older versions drivers on a newer ubuntu (or the other way around) [22:24] Caboose885: yes Im using it right now [22:24] oh. Do you have adblock plus installed? [22:24] is there a way to setup libnotify to show 2 or 3 notices at a time instead of just one? I tend to get a lot of them and there is often a back-log of notices that are too late to be useful [22:24] Caboose885: Is it the browser in general? [22:24] ThinkT510: I meant in the package repos [22:25] ThinkT510: (for natty) [22:25] cyborgsmurf: I know alot of people complain about ubuntu + firefox+ flash not working [22:25] cyborgsmurf: you can try chrome and see if that works any better [22:25] Caboose885: Guess you could figure why Im here :) [22:25] Lcawte: and you installed the appropriate one for your card? [22:25] cyborgsmurf: but I thought maybe if you have adblock plus in firefox it might be accidently blocking the login screen [22:26] hello [22:26] Caboose885: hmm, thing is that I can type in Japanese, but not backspace what I type [22:26] ThinkT510: I can't install the appropriate one for my card from the package repos, but yes, I installed nvidias version of it (same version) [22:27] Caboose885, thats a good question - Firefox and Opera both run like pure distilled a$$ on my system, do have any recommendations for a resource friendly browser? [22:27] Lcawte: the only thing i can think of suggesting is to add the nomodeset option to grub [22:27] cyborgsmurf: do you need to install a japanese language pack to ubuntu? [22:28] What's the -flag for screen that lets you name a screen session so that you can later 'screen -r NAME' ? [22:28] JoeR1: Chromium is a good browser at least in my experience with it [22:28] ThinkT510: I think, before I added the nvidia thing (and after removing the firmware), it looked ok, so I'm going to check... [22:28] Chromium, I though that was the OS [22:28] meLon: -S nane [22:28] name [22:28] Caboose885: its already installed and works like a charm, but I cant type in english or with swedish layout [22:28] thanks niles|iPod_ [22:28] hello ya'll.

[22:37] ah thanks ThinkT510 [22:37] anything, It is already fast. [22:38] anything: did you install it or are you liveCD it? [22:38] Caboose885: I love the easy change too comparing to XP [22:38] thnx :) [22:39] yeah i tried usng it and it uses a lot of processor power [22:39] or appears to [22:39] anything, How fast is your processor? [22:39] anything: LiveCD is very slow compared to a complete install [22:39] athlon 4000 single core [22:39] cyborgsmurf: lol [22:40] i have istalled it [22:40] how do I recursively change folder permission to 755 and files to 644?

[22:42] anything: ubuntu is generally faster [22:42] anything, I reckon it is [22:42] Caboose885: :), I didnt change to Ubuntu on my laptop by choice. I used my laptop for playing old games and such, but then I was looking up a picture for my friend and then BOOOM, VIRUS. I sat all night and then I made a backup thanks to linux liveCD, and here I am [22:42] no sh!t, I thought I was using a 6800 turns out its a 7300 [22:42] 10.04 will be faster than 9.10? [22:42] anything, They'll be about the same [22:42] JoeR1: please watch the language [22:43] sorry [22:43] anything: 10.04 is still supported [22:43] mneptok: this will change directories as well, wouldn't it? [22:43] mneptok: and what does -x+X does? [22:43] how can i find out the process id and process name of the output of this command: QUEUE=scraper RAILS_ENV=backend rake resque:work --trace ? [22:43] bencc: it will recursively change everything to 644, then recursively set the executable bit on directories [22:43] 9.10 will be no slower than 10.04? [22:44] anything, They will be the same [22:44] By the way why the heck is there a new Ubuntu every 3 freakin months??? why do we need that many releases? [22:44] hmmm perhaps i should try another distro [22:44] I have an other question about the bots in IRC, I'm hosting my own server, and i want bots in a channel on my server, how do i do this? :S [22:44] JoeR1: its 6 months [22:45] Caboose885: what is XUbuntu?

Rather than using Gnome it uses XFCE [22:45] How do I export my address book from Evolution ? say .. in a txt or csv format? [22:45] thx rww [22:45] anything - if you need to go resource friendly I have had good luck with Xubuntu - plus it is so close to ubuntu anything you learned should transfer easily [22:46] is ubuntu really as fast as windowsxp [22:46] rww - and that point would be? [22:46] anything: faster [22:46] JoeR1: more up to date than debian [22:46] anything faster usually [22:46] anything: comparing to a new install of XP or onethat's seen a bit of use? [22:46] anything, faster [22:46] anything 99.99999 percent of the time faster. way faster [22:47] anything, Install it and see for yourself [22:47] maco - just seems like they could do that without burning through every letter in the alphabet in 5 years [22:47] anything: new installs, XP is probably faster, but ubuntu will stay the same speed over time while XP slows down to crap [22:47] JoeR1: 5 years = 10 letters. how big is your alphabet? [22:47] lol [22:47] maco - I am clearly being facetious [22:47] maco - it is just difficult to convey sarcasm in text [22:48] JoeR1: sarcasm doesn't convey well over text ;) [22:48] [22:48] JoeR1: i would not object to a 1 year development cycle if i thought it would do anything for quality. unfortunately, i suspect there'd still be very few users willing to test before beta/rc/final, so i doubt itd really help much [22:49] For a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, to run on an Intel i7, should I download the amd64 version of the distribution, or some other? [22:49] FoolishOwl: amd64 [22:49] FoolishOwl: yes [22:49] mneptok: how does it know that -x+X works only on dir? [22:49] maco - consistency goes a long way, haveing to flip through pages of number specific packeages trying to find the one i need makes me pine for my Microsoft simplicity [22:50] JoeR1: flip through pages? [22:50] FoolishOwl, amd64 is the official name of 64 bit arch. It was created by AMD. both intel and AMD are 'amd64' It is confusing [22:50] maco - web pages [22:50] JoeR1: why are you using web pages to get packages? [22:50] flip = browse, use you imagination a little? [22:50] in /etc/network/interfaces how do I set multiple dns servers? Like this: "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"? [22:50] maco - not everything I need is canonical [22:51] JoeR1, It's not harder to learn. It's just that you're not used to it. In windows to find any software you need to get on the Internet or go to the store. Is that easier to learn? [22:51] thankyou everyone [22:51] ShermanBoyd, No. One on each line [22:51] no problem anything. I hope you found everything you were looking for [22:51] ShermanBoyd, And I'm pretty sure DNS servers don't go in /etc/network/interfaces [22:51] JoeR1: given only up to.. i think 4... releases are ever supported on the desktop at a time, id find a download page that needs multiple pages to list all versions for ubuntu a bit odd === reliableNerd is now known as reliableNerd| [22:51] anything, sure [22:51] edbian - i never said it was harder to learn but thanks for jumping to conclusions [22:51] so xubuntu is faster [22:51] edbian, it is confusing. Branding mucks up things, sometimes. [22:52] isnt that resolv.conf? [22:52] anything - in my experience Xubuntu has been more resource friendly [22:52] anyway i can close vuze and reopen with out logging out? [22:52] its hidden [22:52] edbian: that sounds truthy, it's not in the interfaces man page [22:52] ShermanBoyd, I think it goes in /etc/resolve.conf [22:52] edbian++ [22:52] maco, thanks :P [22:52] anything - for example I am using 2.25 gig of ram and I could never hope to come anywhere near that in Xubuntu [22:53] bencc: magic! [22:53] ShermanBoyd, There is a caveat though if you're using dhcp [22:53] You can list DNS servers in /etc/network/interfaces, but you don't [22:53] i run at about 200 meg in background [22:53] Usually. [22:53] hi i am running unity in 11.04 i can't see the time/date indicator how can i get it back? [22:53] JoeR1: You could even get lighter than that with Fluxbox ;) [22:53] edbian: that's generally where I do it, but I'm following a openstack install instruction that puts in interfaces [22:53] bencc: i think he means that the capitalisation means that the +X only applies to dirs, while -x does everything [22:53] ShermanBoyd, Foolish owl mentioned it can go in there but should not. [22:54] I don't know why that's the case. I've never seen it there [22:54] Caboose885, Oh i know I use to use a Box program (I forget the name) and I was sitting at 98 meg on startup [22:54] hello everyone i'm having a hard time trying make gvim launch files in new tabs under Ubuntu 11.04. I've tried changing the exec line in /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop to "Exec=gvim -p --remote-tab-silent %F" and that works as it should, except when i try to open gvim itself without specifying any files (from unity's dash or a launcher set) which fails. Can anyone please help me with this ? [22:54] hi can someone help me out with unity interface? where can i run the time/date indicator? it is not showing on my desktop [22:54] JoeR1: there is openbox, fluxbox, blackbox...and probably more... [22:54] openbox, thats it [22:54] <[reed]> what's the package that contains the gpg keys for the various ubuntu repos? [22:55] Not shouldn't so much as usually doesn't. [22:55] [reed]: ubuntu-keyring [22:55] <[reed]> maco: thanks [22:55] hello? [22:55] ?? [22:56] picochu: was the time/date there before and now its disapeard? [22:56] gotta go, my ex is here and we are gonna go seeya all later [22:56] TMI [22:56] Caboose885: it never show in the first place. new install [22:57] why when i use apt- [22:57] why when i use apt-get purge apache2 i still have /etc/apache2 folder? [22:57] darkwood, who where you use apt [22:57] how do I update / upgrade my ubuntu server?? [22:57] Also about installation media: to set up lvm, I should use the alternate install CD, not the LiveCD version, right? [22:57] darkwood, Good question. I don't know. Is there anything in it?

[23:02] darkwood, I don't think the folder changes [23:02] Younder: that hardly pauses. [23:03] EmuAlert, CTRL-Z will stop a job in the shell. You can then run it in the background with bg, or return it to the foreground with fg. [23:04] ah the ancient ctrl-z routine. like in vi [23:05] hello everyone i'm having a hard time trying make gvim launch files in new tabs under Ubuntu 11.04.

[23:13] all this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer has is how to disable framebuffer etc., but if one is trying to debug a driver that force freezes the system a framebuffer imo is the way to go.

It's funny -- LVM is the default on other distros I've tried. [23:21] http://pastebin.com/EvTESBC8 [23:21] I just upgraded but I got this error after I restarted [23:21] How do you use --exclude in rysnc?

[23:26] quint: it all depends on the torrent [23:26] yeah but it seems to be all of my torrents have very poor connections [23:26] hey guys [23:26] that cant be [23:26] im using xubuntu [23:26] how can i get that unity thingy [23:26] sudo apt-get install unity [23:26] MK``: sudo apt-get --reinstall install xubuntu-desktop should do it [23:26] kk thx [23:26] Is there a way to mount my HD from the ubuntu alternate? maybe I can fix the xorg so the keyboard works [23:27] I have installed a new SSL cert and reloaded apache, but the new cert does not load it still shows an old CN [23:27] any ideas [23:27] Guiri: afaik, you'll need the desktop [23:27] quint: do you have any download speed caps? [23:27] nope [23:27] no caps whatsoever [23:27] quint: have you tried another bittorrent client? [23:27] quint: max speed is always capped in some way ;) [23:28] with transmission? [23:28] ActionParsnip: actually refreshing my software sources fixed it. It removed all my PPAs though... didn't know it would do that [23:28] quint: no like another torrent program. Such as Vuze [23:28] quint: no, just the nature of network technologies [23:28] yes i know, id prefer to keep it as lightweight as possible [23:29] lol [23:29] quint: your ISP might be throttling you [23:29] nope, just tried on a windows machine [23:29] same torrent [23:29] better speeds [23:30] using uT [23:30] quint: try a different cliet [23:30] i think its the client yeah [23:30] OH uT has been ported to nix!! [23:30] its free to test :) [23:30] sweeeeet deal [23:30] :o it has? [23:30] MK``: yes [23:30] yes. webui only though === Wolf is now known as Guest35868 [23:30] Ooh. I use KTorrent [23:30] !torrents [23:30] Natty can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/desktop/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/server/ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

Does anyone here have Natty and a mobile broadband modem? [23:32] i think im gonna try out that port of uT [23:33] How do I change which splash screen shows when I boot up again? When I upgraded it defaulted my setting [23:33] Anyone at all?

[23:35] DreamsofanEagle, is it a card? [23:36] Guiri: if you can remove the current ones and grab debs for the older versions, you can [23:36] nit-wit, I'm looking at getting one from Virgin Mobile, but want to make sure before I plop down money on it [23:36] Guiri, mount and chroot it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [23:36] Guiri, sorry, typo with all those slashes [23:37] DreamsofanEagle, take a look here, it may help. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G [23:37] edbian: can you explain the chroot process? [23:38] Guiri, chroot changes the / of your filesystem. if you change it to the hdd's / instead of it being the live CD's root you can alter the packages on the install. chroot /path/to/some/folder/ [23:38] DreamsofanEagle, hit ctrl-f then search with Virgin Mobile looks okay if that is the device [23:38] its an MC760 card [23:38] ed1703: gotcha thanks [23:39] nit-wit, Thanks, according to the page, works right out of the box [23:39] DreamsofanEagle, that is a 3g though isn't it? [23:39] ed1703: the tough part will be figuring out which package broke my keyboard. [23:39] I should probably roll back Xorg to what came with 10.10 b/c it worked then [23:40] nit-wit, Yes it is. and they have 3G coverage here [23:41] DreamsofanEagle, not the fastest but hey if it works.;) [23:41] afternoon all [23:42] kyle1: morning :) [23:42] nit-wit, Right now I'm stuck using wifi, and they close at 9 [23:42] I'll take what I can get [23:42] DreamsofanEagle,;) [23:42] hi [23:42] hi, i am using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit + openconnect to connect to a VPN. i can connect to the vpn via a terminal or the Network Manager. How do I then log in to my machine at work once my machine from home connects to the vpn [23:43] Hi is Glade only Gui designer here and QT4 would do same or is bad [23:44] IIAir_LeoII: Glade is the only GUI designer for GTK [23:44] IIAir_LeoII: Glade is for GTK applications. Qt4 is different toolkit and has its own designer [23:44] netbeans IIAir_LeoII [23:44] or vep + eclipse IIAir_LeoII [23:44] or vep + eclipse IIAir_LeoII [23:44] hum Ubuntu 11.04 look nice [23:44] netbeans IIAir_LeoII [23:45] it will work with ruby as well [23:45] ? [23:45] IIAir_LeoII: Ruby has GTK bindings [23:45] IIAir_LeoII: if you're a programmer looking to pick up a new toolkit, GTK is usually used with C, and Qt is usually used with C++, both can be used with Python, and there are Ruby bindings for GTK (but i find applications written with them can be a bit unstable, especially if threaded) [23:45] IIAir_LeoII: Glade uses Gtk.Builder, which Ruby probably supports [23:46] Do netbeans also [23:46] where can i ask vpn type questions? [23:46] IIAir_LeoII: netbeans is for Java [23:46] IIAir_LeoII: Netbeans would only be for AWT or whatever Java uses [23:46] tensorpudding: AWT & Swing [23:46] ok [23:47] edbian, BlueEagle: ty for your help earlier [23:48] IIAir_LeoII: ruby's gnome libraries have a Gtk::Builder which would be able to import UI definitions from Glade and instantiate them [23:48] IIAir_LeoII: there is gambas, sort of visual basic clone [23:48] IIAir_LeoII: Glade emits a special specification for the UI in the form of XML [23:48] i would try [23:49] The Software center no longer shows my PPAs, how can I get it to show them again? [23:49] MK``: probably they were disabled by an upgrade, you can see them in the sources [23:49] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10 server... how can I tell with ifconfig if the connection is 1Gb or 100Mb? Or is ifconfig the wrong command? Thanks. [23:50] tensorpudding: I reinstalled one of them but it still doesn't show up. They are in sources, but I like having them in the center [23:50] Bing0: it'll be whatever is supported by your hardware [23:50] Well yeah.. but how can I tell if it is 1gb or not? [23:50] MK``: are they checked? do they load properly? [23:50] Yes tensorpudding [23:50] tensorpudding, as in, its server, i can't see the connection's negotiation [23:51] has anyone connected their ubuntu machine to a CISCO VPN / RDP using openconnect or anyconnect???
