[00:40] oh i dont get help here, cya [00:40] Acid, I think a flash would be slow... you need to install it to its own partition === tilted is now known as Guest85405 [00:40] Acid, and give it a swap partition too ;-) [00:41] smw: so I think putting ubuntu onto its own drive formatted in ext would be best for coding [00:41] smw: the last thing i want, is to run into performance issues when giving chroium-os coding a try [00:42] Acid, sounds good. But you may want to let ubuntu automatically partition the drive [00:42] hi [00:42] smw: will do, can you explain what you ment by swap partition? [00:42] Acid, know what a page file is?

Do any of the mozillateam PPAs have builds for PPC? [00:43] Anyone?

I need about 15000 .chk files that have lost their name and extension restored on a FAT32 flash drive of my friend. How do I do this? [00:44] smw: not to brag but I have 8gigs of ram, dont think i will run into memory problems with ubuntu? [00:44] Guiri: don't think so [00:45] Acid, in that case, get at least a 10GB swap :-P. Swap is also used for hibernation [00:45] Acid, it also makes your disk make funny noises so you know a program is leaking memory :-P [00:45] smw: will I be asked to set the swap partition size in the installation, or is this a more complicated procedure? [00:45] Acid, if you use automatic partitioning, it will figure it out [00:46] smw: super, thank you very much [00:46] Acid, if you have free, unpartitioned space, ubuntu will figure out how best to allocate it [00:46] smw: ok, will it do the formatting to ext by itself as well?

[01:17] silvering: Sorry misunderstood you'r question (: [01:17] naptastic: what is the output of: lsb_release -d [01:17] JStoker, no problem, but after all, can it work like i want?

[01:22] evilkid: without a question, no [01:22] lol this chat is busy [01:22] >.> [01:22] jutzus: also when there is a command you normally just would've executed without further thought, do like this "man COMMAND" where you replace "COMMAND" with e.h sudo - also when you're reffering to someone type their name in the sentince, could do like I do, but it's all about personal prefferences. [01:22] jutzus: both [01:23] evilkid: if you ask a question, somebody may help [01:23] ActionParsnip: It's about 3com Router 5232 I'm trying to configure a site-to-site VPN but don't want to go over tunnel virtutal interface(don't want GRE), one side is an Ubuntu LAN and the other it's a W$$ LAN.

[01:33] link to how to do filesharing on ubuntu, please? (not samba, linux to linux file sharing) [01:34] genewitch, you'll probably use NFS.

[01:35] ActionParsnip: what should i write in konsole sorry [01:36] genewitch, Once you list your exports, you need to restart the NFS service (/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart) and then mount the nfs share on the other computer [01:36] has anyone tried the new aim.com/av/ with natty? [01:36] ActionParsnip: cant find in google :P [01:37] risd: install them with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i debfile [01:37] it's there [01:37] Action: looks like ralink has already realeased a new driver and has autorun.sh [01:37] risd: this is one reason why 32bit is advised [01:37] genewitch, nfs-common needs to be installed on the other computer. Create an empty mount point (for example /media/mount) and sudo mount the share onto that mount point [01:37] ActionParsnip: can you point out an url for me please? [01:37] naptastic: thanks.

[02:22] nope ima try it now [02:22] ok updated grub , ima go check [02:22] 2min [02:22] any ideas on how to get panels, etc. back? i have had my system76 laptop for 2 hours now and I have already killed it :-( [02:23] Can anyone help me regarding Kubuntu? Specifically, my weather widget on the desktop keeps putting itself in the bottom of the screen mysteriously, even when the widgets are locked. [02:23] yassine_hell, if it sees XO you would see it in the terminal. [02:23] *XP [02:23] rjonesx1, what exactly happened? [02:23] rjonesx1: since its a new computer, try making a new user with fresh defaults and logging into that [02:24] how would I do that, I dont even know how to get to the terminal now that I have no gui interface (just a pretty background) [02:24] ah [02:25] rjonesx1, try crtl-alt-t [02:25] nothin :-( [02:25] how do you create sudo for entire session [02:25] Dumb question - can VPN kind of be treated like an encrypted VNC for across networks? [02:25] i can right click and get some basic desktop options [02:25] like creating launchers [02:25] jutzus, try sudo su or sudo grub [02:25] be careful [02:26] rjonesx1: alt-f2? [02:26] rjonesx1, have you been messing with compiz, like removing the desktop wall? [02:26] no [02:26] rjonesx1, rjonesx1 how did you get it that way? [02:26] rjonesx1: i messed up something once and just make a launcher for ternimal [02:26] yeah, what is the command for launcher [02:26] i mean for terminal? [02:26] Semit: im still getting permission denied [02:27] im trying to move files [02:27] yes, thats what i did, i removed desktop wall and replaced with desktop cube and rotate [02:27] jutzus, are you sure you're using the right password? [02:27] but i then turned sort plugins back on [02:27] which i think was a mistake [02:27] it went fubar after that [02:27] it didnt ask for password' [02:27] theres a way to default compiz [02:27] same error , "File not found , grub rescue >" [02:28] I tried. it appears now that we have default / unity. neither one worked, and that is when i restarted [02:28] jutzus, what's the output of "sudo su" ? [02:28] so now im on my wife's pink netbook. demoralizing. [02:28] nothing [02:29] drops me to a new input [02:29] rjonesx1, if you get back to a desktop and can set up a launcher on the desktop follow this link.http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ [02:29] jutzus, is this on a live cd, or a regular install? [02:29] rjonesx1: right click make a launcher using 'gnome-terminal' for the command, and then do 'unity --reset' [02:29] install' [02:29] 10.04 [02:29] try typing "whoami" [02:30] root [02:30] jutzus, ok, then sudo su has already worked [02:30] now you should be able to do what you're trying to do [02:30] well i still cant drag and drop to move a file [02:30] what the fuck '' [02:31] same error , "File not found , grub rescue >" [02:31] alright sorry i had enough will fix this timmorow [02:31] oh for that, do gksu nautillus [02:31] er [02:31] tommorow [02:31] nautilus [02:31] gksu nautilus [02:31] Semitones_tea: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:31] again, be very careful [02:31] nice. unity reset gets me a pretty error [02:31] stupid eth0 [02:31] bullshit [02:32] yassine_hell, run this script and post all the text in a pastebin, and do you have a XP cd.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [02:32] jutzus, please keep the channel family friendly :) [02:32] lol' === atc3030|theevent is now known as atc3030 [02:32] laterr' [02:32] nit-wit : nope i dont have xp cd :s [02:32] needed to un-sudo [02:32] back up and working at the moment [02:33] ok. wow. [02:33] that was frustrating, thank you so much PalinBachman2011 [02:33] 2011 [02:33] yassine_hell, okay the script will show more info to go with. Do you have a backup of the XP? [02:33] 2012 [02:33] is that name meant to be ironic? [02:33] no [02:33] rjonesx1, what mine.;) [02:34] nit-wit : ok im downloading the script .. and what do you mean by windows backup, [02:34] just annoying and yet honest [02:34] Odd Question - There's something that's been eating the fish out of the pond out back. So I want to set up an Ubuntu desktop with my USB webcam and let it run all night on a huge spare internal HDD I have to record the feed. The catch is I want it to be motion activated. How can I do this????? [02:35] lol roasted, sounds awesome [02:35] yassine_hell, you can back up parts of the st=ytem and whole images that are clones. Newer computers come with a recovery partition that will reload the OS, just phishing for where you are at with the tools to fix this if we find the culprit. [02:35] Semitones_tea, its a good idea, right? :D [02:35] Hello [02:35] hmmm. i closed the terminal and unity crashed again, [02:36] roasted I've been thinking about doing something like that but over my garden to see what's eating my tomatoes >.> [02:36] Semitones_tea, I have a spare desktop to run ubuntu and a usb webcam. why not? I just want to make it motion activated so I dont have to sift through HOURS of video [02:36] I don't know how to motion activate it though [02:36] upon restart, things looking good. [02:36] trahm93, well, look into zoneminder. It's an open source CCTV solution. The thing is I got lost setting it up and its 930 and Im just TIRED, so I was hoping for a simple quick app I can set up now to handle it [02:36] i need help I try to view a surveillance cameras connected to a pci card. [02:37] alright that sounds cool roasted [02:37] trahm93, I plan to spend more time with it this summer to see if we can implement it at work (I work in a school district) === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [02:38] So anyway, does anybody know how I can make a program motion activated with a webcam? [02:38] roasted, for security? [02:38] this my card http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606692/ [02:38] trahm93, something has been eating the fish out of our small pond out back. I just want to set up a basic rig for the night and see what it is. [02:39] Anyone here familiar with using Github? [02:40] rjonesx1, that is the thing in natty when your tweaking compiz, beready to reboot or logout or run compiz -replace in the terminal [02:40] ok. i will keep that in mind, but i definitely dont underestimate my ability to ruin things [02:40] I try to view a surveillance cameras connected to a card I tried to see the cameras with various programs but I only get a blue screen. [02:41] Ok, so using terminal I mad a web browser inside of python. does anyone here know how I would make it a program without having to write the whole damn thing again? [02:41] this my card http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606692/ help please [02:42] PM me if you can help, I'll brb [02:43] I think it's like a TV tuner anyone has experience with TV tuner [02:44] roasted: Zoneminder seems to be a dedicated survallence app suite what will prob work with your webcam [02:45] PalinBachman2012, yeah, problem is I had trouble setting it up, and I was looking for a QUICK solution for the night. DO you have experience with zoneminder? [02:45] roasted: no [02:48] twil [02:49] I am starting to write some stuff in python. but I can't seem to get my script to run in the command line. [02:49] I've made it executable. [02:50] I get the command not found error. I've made a /bin folder in my home folder. and that is where it is. [02:52] i need a manly way out [02:53] Friar: I just got here so forgive me for asking dumb questions....did you make the file executable? and are you using the complete path when issuing the command? [02:53] th0r, yes I did. [02:54] i set it to auto login when i set up ubuntu. any idea on how to turn that sucker off? [02:54] I didn't use the complete path...I'll try that. [02:54] Friar: and did you use /home/user and not ~ [02:54] maybe nedd to cd /bin first [02:54] th0r, just got: nathan@Pluto:~/bin$ /home/nathan/bin/montecarlo.py [02:54] bash: /home/nathan/bin/montecarlo.py: /bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [02:54] hiexpo: not if he uses full path [02:55] Friar: ask 'which python'...looks like you don't have it installed [02:55] LibreOffice is breaking Unity, LibreOffice windows are trapped in Maximize, and the launcher wont dodge. How do I fix this? [02:55] Friar: python should not be in that directory. [02:55] budge* [02:55] I do have it installed....2.7.1 [02:55] thor i know but maybe easier for him [02:56] /msg NickServ identify 328432 [02:56] well that was stupid [02:56] surgeterrix, yep. [02:56] hiexpo: if he is in /home/user/bin he would still need ./command....unless it is another ubuntu 'modification' [02:56] i hear the new spiderman has mitt romney in it [02:57] Friar: run "which python" in the terminal. It should say something like /usr/bin/python if my guess is right [02:57] rjonesx1, remove /etc/gdm/custom.conf [02:57] th0r, I got it going...SuperFireLord42, that did the trick. [02:57] yay! [02:57] /usr/bin/python instead of /bin/python at the top of the script [02:57] always the little things. [02:58] 2.6 [02:58] escott: thanks. [02:59] how do i create a keyboard shortcut for a command [02:59] so i [02:59] whoops lol [02:59] !ccsm | andantino shortcuts can be found in there [02:59] andantino shortcuts can be found in there: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [03:00] so i'm having trouble with setting up ssh on my friend's ubuntu box [03:01] i had him install openssh and openssh-server but i can't seem to connect to him [03:01] it keeps timing out [03:01] is there some configuration step i'm missing? [03:01] wallrace: /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:01] wallrace: what happens when he runs sudo services sshd status ? (if i remember my commands correctly) [03:01] wallrace, service ssh start [03:01] oops, its ssh, ignore me [03:02] i had him try that and it was started [03:02] wallrace: also make sure /etc/hosts.allow has sshd: ALLOW [03:02] wallrace: iptables blocking it ? (iptables -L to look) [03:02] wallrace, make sure you can ping the box [03:03] no i couldn't ping the box either i don't think [03:03] wallrace, well thats the problem. is it behind a NAT? [03:04] I have a file called brasero.iso how do I look at it to see what it is? [03:04] tripelb, mount -o loop [03:04] hello y'all. Need newb help here. How can I get my dual monitor to stay in the configuration I have them set in? When I come back from screensaver, they go back to mirror screen. Thanks! [03:04] tripelb: mount it? or open it with an archive manager [03:04] let me see. [03:04] wallrace: is it on the same network? [03:05] no and i think that's part of the problem [03:05] i'm having him fix his hosts.allow right now [03:06] wallrace, if his machine is ip address 192.168.something then he is behind a NAT. you would need to enable port forwarding and then ssh to the ip address of his router [03:06] escott sudo mount -o loop brasero.iso ... mount: can't find brasero.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:06] tripelb, it is an iso you made and forgot to renmae it what it really was === atc3030 is now known as atc3030|zzzzZZZZ [03:06] hiexpo that's what I figured. [03:07] tripelb, you have to give the mount point and device (in this case the *.iso) when mounting something not in fstab [03:07] tripelb: add somewhere to put it [03:07] escott I didnt know that. What's a mount point? [03:07] tripelb, what folder is the iso in ? [03:07] tripelb, so it would be sudo mount -o loop /path/to/brasero.iso /path/to/where/you/want/to/see/the/data [03:08] tripelb, just get this sudo apt-get install gmountiso probally easier for you [03:08] hiexpo, celthunder escott I did cd Desktop (which is where it is) nicely terminal told me I had to be root to do that. duh, so I added sudo. [03:08] escott I want to see it in a filebrowser (nautilus) window [03:09] I've looked at the files in an iso easily before. [03:09] tripelb, once you mount it to /home/tripleb/brazero_loop you could open that folder in nautilus [03:10] escott, i would enable port forwarding in his /etc/ssh/sshd_config? [03:10] wallrace, in the router [03:11] escott, i've never worked with routers before... can you just point me at the man page or something i would have to read to get started on that? [03:11] hey [03:11] wallrace: does his ip start with 10, 192.168, or 172? [03:11] wallrace, depends on the router have him go to http://192.168.1.1 assuming his reported ip is 192.68.1.xxx [03:11] hello y'all. Need newb help here. How can I get my dual monitor to stay in the configuration I have them currently set in? When I come back from screensaver, they go back to mirror screen. Thanks! [03:12] i was wanting help with my computer, i had windows, but i got a sick virus, now i am trying to load ubuntu on it [03:12] OK escott I can see the filenames in archive mgr. it's some unknown movie, dvd. Now I want to play it so I know what it is. ((I havent gotten past the fstab stuff)) [03:12] i have ubuntu 5.1 the ancient version and i had to do a xserver dpkg command to get it running something about vesa video card [03:12] thanks escott [03:12] i was wanting to do a mini ubuntu version on a cd, and i was wanting to know if i should go with 64 x or 32 idk anything really [03:13] i jus dont want to run into any problems [03:13] ubuser: what processor does your computer have in it? [03:13] i dont know any ubuntu commands [03:13] i got 4 gigs ram, and 500 harddrive thats all i really know man [03:14] oh, and i had to take out 3 gigs [03:14] tripelb, double click or copy the file out to some other folder [03:14] to get it running again... [03:14] tripelb, doubleclick one of the vob's [03:14] hello. has anyone managed to get vmware player running in ubuntu 11.04 x64? [03:14] ubuser: you had to take out 3gb of ram? [03:14] i need to do bios update?? i dont know if i have to get a linux version or not [03:14] i flashed the bios :( [03:14] its getting hot man, hurry [03:14] lol [03:15] ubuser: do you have an internet connection on the box so i can have you pastebin something? [03:15] hyperair: what error are you getting [03:15] i am on here? now [03:15] celthunder: something about signal 11 (probably a segfault), or at other times, it says virtual machine busy [03:15] ubuser: copy the results of this command to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ and give us the link it gives. run cat /proc/cpuinfo in the terminal [03:15] Hi ..I just finished installing Xubuntu 10.04 ...configured dsl via pppoeconf ......problem is the networka manager is writing 192.168.1.1 as dns server in /etc/resolve.conf.......I want to use my own choice of public dns But the nm-applet is gone [03:16] john_rambo: /etc/resolv.conf.head [03:16] john_rambo, gnome-network-properties [03:16] my VLC has been loading funny as if in horizontal pieces. Can I reinstall it over itself without removing it? [03:16] pastebin.com/7rmvkaxv [03:17] bad paste [03:17] escott, The command "gnome-network-properties" failed to run: [03:17] Failed to execute child process "gnome-network-properties" (No such file or directory) [03:17] i need to know what is best ubuntu for my pc, and will it have the sources list automatically stored -.- [03:17] ubuser: ? [03:17] ubuser: can you expand that question a bit [03:17] celthunder, /etc/resolv.conf.head ?? please explain [03:17] i flashed my bios...., i dont know what to do [03:18] celthunder: he wants to know if he should dl 32bit or 64 bit, he said something about removing 3GB of ram to get it to work and running Ubuntu 5.1 [03:18] i am currently on ubuntu 5.1, i want the better one.. lol i paste bind my pc stats [03:18] john_rambo: dhcpcd/dhclient don't overwrite /etc/resolv.conf.head it says so in the comments [03:18] ubuser: the paste didnt work right, its blank :/ [03:18] how do i search file a word in a file [03:18] ubuser: 64 bit as long as your processor supports it (if newer than 2003 and not a 2007-2010 atom it does) [03:18] oh.. [03:18] yea [03:18] it said amd 64 [03:18] ubuser: then go for the 64 bit version [03:19] * SuperFireLord42 sighs........ [03:19] Narcarsiss: grep? [03:19] Narcarsiss, grep is the command line tool grep "pattern" /in/file [03:19] http://pastebin.com7RMBkAxv [03:19] ok maning it thankyou [03:19] damnit. [03:19] okay i am downloading the small 64 bit, and should i have to put a certain video driver or something? [03:19] ubuser: go with 64, dont worry about the paste [03:20] it was complicated installing an ancient version [03:20] ubuser: what video card do you have [03:20] Ive been dealing with this dual-monitor issue for awhile now. [03:20] celthunder, Thanks [03:20] damn.. [03:20] anybody have some troubleshooting advice? [03:20] ubuser: ? [03:20] im staring at the paste bin [03:21] it doesnt say vid? [03:21] ubuser: lspci and look for it and just paste it in here...should be 1 line [03:21] ubuser: for that use lspci (and please use pastebin.ubuntu.com) [03:21] Trfsrfr, guessing that the monitors are being turned off and are turning on at different rates. in the process its resizing the desktop, you could disable dpms but thats probably undesirable [03:21] one sec ill look, winfast px8600 256 meg [03:21] quick question, I'm trying to configure the package manager to look for stuff in a ppa (specifically, https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases) and it gives instructions on that page for using add-apt-repository. It also gives instructions for using "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main" which looks like the format the package manager GUI is looking for. Is there any signific [03:21] result of the two? [03:22] ubuser: well, unless you only paste that one line, in which case put it right here [03:22] SuperFireLord42: the video card is 1 line...not over 3 [03:22] ubuser, if the flags section contains "lm" then it is 64bit [03:22] celthunder: yes but lspci is over 3 [03:22] SuperFireLord42: oops sorry i'm reading several lines behind here [03:22] http://pastebin.com/Jmptruxp [03:22] celthunder: no prob, my client is lagging [03:23] SuperFireLord42, his ip address on whatsmyip is 65.93.xxx.xx and from ifconfig it's 192.168 [03:23] and still timing out [03:23] ubuser: that showed up empty for me ..... [03:23] .... [03:23] wallrace: you connect using the 65. one make sure his port 22 is open on the router and forwarding to his machine on incoming [03:23] wallrace, the 65 is his routers ip (wireless router or the like) it is using NAT to convert to 192 which is not a valid ip for you [03:23] wallrace: on your computer you need to connect via the 65 address, his firewall needs to be set to pass through port 22 to the 192 address [03:24] ubuser: just find the one line [03:24] hey folks, so it seems that when I launch compiz settings manager I can't actually change anything (ie: grayed out options). any ideas? [03:25] rjonesx1: use compiz's wm? [03:25] so with the winfast px8600 256 meg would i have to choose a certain driver? i was wondering, i flashed my bios earlier, and it wouldnt start up so i took out all ram except one stick, and it booted back up. do u have to download a certain bios file? [03:25] rjonesx1: is compiz running? [03:25] or can someone please run me through fixing my bios so my ram will work? [03:25] im any good at linux [03:25] ubuser: ? why would you have to use a certain driver for ram? [03:26] no 2 questions [03:26] unity is running, so I assume compiz is [03:26] ubuser: how far will it boot with all the ram in? it could have to do with the old version of linux not supporting it [03:26] i am about to install ubuntu 11.04 mini 64, and i flashed my bios [03:26] ubuser: ok [03:26] no i had windows [03:26] and it wouldnt boot [03:26] ubuser, the installer has a version of memtest which you could use to identify an bad/incompatible modules [03:26] 11.04 fixed my ips issue but I still can't change the brightness on this laptop heh [03:26] what is compiz wm? [03:27] it was after i flashed the bios, with that jumper thing [03:27] ubuser: thats a reset, how long did you have the jumper in the reset position? [03:27] rjonesx1: idk what compiz uses but it changes the wm doesn't it (seems to do all the tasks of a wm) [03:27] 5 seconds [03:27] rjonesx1, it does effects. if you don't have effects (transparent windows and the like) then you have metacity, you can find its keyboard shortcuts in gconf-editor [03:27] ubuser: you did a reset not a flash [03:27] i made sure it was unplugged [03:28] idk it effed me [03:28] ubuser: good, i recommend you may want to reflash your bios (not reset) [03:28] rjonesx1, if I remember correctly, I had to set system->preferences->appearance->Visual Effects to "extra" or "custom" first, but I'm not sure of that, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. [03:28] how do i do that? [03:28] SuperFireLord42, escott, celthunder and i do that by going through his router settings on 192.168.1.2 on his network? we can't seem to find anything like that though [03:28] ignore me if what I said makes no sense :- [03:28] escott: i do have transparent windows (ie: i can see through terminal) [03:28] wallrace: what is his gateway address according to ifconfig, it should be 192.168.1.1 or something? [03:28] its going to catch on fire soon.. [03:28] ubuser: pull up your computer online and find the newest bios for it and follow the instructions in general [03:28] rjonesx1, real transparency or fake I can see the background transparency [03:29] i know, but this is linux man [03:29] i cant download my exe's [03:29] rjonesx1, compiz --replace in the terminal will reload it. [03:29] idk what commands to do or nothing [03:29] wallrace: the simple way is to throw his machine in a dmz the second easiest is port forwarding the other option is make his router into just a modem and use just your machien (won't work iwht other machiens online unless your isp gives you more than one ip) also the last option is extremely insecure [03:29] anyone know if bios flashes work right in wine? :P /probably a bad idea [03:29] should i go ahead and install 11.04 b4 the bios update? [03:29] seriously nit-wit, if I type that into terminal again and this thing crashes I am coming for you. [03:29] I've a library sitting in a directory that a python program can not find -- I added the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Is there anything else i need to do? ldd libyaafecore.so.0.61.0 -- outputs -- No such file or directory [03:30] ubuser: unless you have an actual bios problem i wouldn't reflash it... [03:30] i cant use my other 3 gigs of ram? [03:30] SuperFireLord42 it's 192.168.2.xx [03:30] ubuser: i would reset to factory in bios at the very least, it may fix it [03:30] ubuser, use memtest to test the dimms one may have gone bad [03:30] ubuser: ? in the os or does bios literally not show it [03:30] hmm, ok, seems to have reloaded fine [03:30] rjonesx1, you could reboot compiz is finicky in natty you have to be able to log out of X run that command a and reboot, while teaking [03:30] wallrace: what happens when you go to that address in the browser? (probably 192.168.2.1?) [03:31] it wont turn on, i cant see anything on the monitor if my rams in [03:31] itll boot up tho [03:31] ubuser: is your ram compatible with your motherboard? [03:31] rjonesx1, I was lokng for you over the back fence.;) [03:31] celthunder: it sounds like the reset he did on the board did not work right. imho, thats why i was thinking of flashing it [03:31] yes, i had windows running [03:31] hi, how can i get root privileges? [03:31] sudo su [03:31] so, when i close the terminal in which i ran compiz --replace, and my computer burns to the ground, what is your phone number and home address? [03:31] tomek_: sudo -i [03:32] SuperFireLord42 it gives information about his router and lets him change settings but we can't find anything about port forwarding/anything that looks like it would work [03:32] SuperFireLord42: he can't make up his mind one minute the ram doens't work at all the next windows ran fine with the ram in...either it turns on or it doesn't.... [03:32] wallrace, what router is it? linksys? [03:32] nit-wit, sudo -i [03:32] escott, thanks [03:32] wallrace: did you see my last message [03:32] wallrace: also make/model of his router/modem? [03:33] celthunder: i still wonder if the old ubuntu he has is too old to handle the ram? i thought the older kernels had a 4GB limit, then again, i am not faimilar with 5.1 [03:33] tomek_: sudo su - [03:33] hiexpo, clicking on one or another of the VOB's opened totem player and pressing play gave me nothing, black silent. -- I dont understand dvd's at all. I mounted it into a folder called test which has two folders VIDEO_TS AND AUDIO_TS both of which are "apparently" empty. I can see their insides when I look at the .iso thrru archive manager. -- I have no idea what I am looking at. Nor what I made a diskimage of. [03:33] okay im having more problems [03:33] celthunder yeah i have three browser tabs on dmz's loading right now [03:33] SuperFireLord42: probably lol [03:33] since i am on ubuntu 5.1 i cant find my sources list, so the svn repository doesnt work [03:33] ubuser: /etc/apt/sources.list [03:33] i want to know how to do a bios flash in linux, i dont have an a: [03:34] i cant burn a cd without svn [03:34] i got that [03:34] ubuser: uh... svn? isnt that a subversion tool? [03:34] all the links are old now [03:34] SuperFireLord42: yeah [03:34] the repositories man [03:34] ubuser, there is no universal way it depends on the app for installing. [03:34] . . . [03:34] SuperFireLord42: what i'm wondering is why he's on a version from like 7 years ago [03:35] i got it mailed to me -.- [03:35] celthunder: i think the best bet is he just needs to put 11.04 on it and then we see what to do. [03:35] im sick of viruses [03:35] ubuser: can you burn the 11.04 cd? [03:35] i cant reload without a cd, i dont have a flash drive [03:35] ubuser, usually it involves a floppy, installed mine on my acer asipre from a live W7 session. [03:35] i cant burn a cd, there is no program [03:35] what program doesnt require any dependencys? will i have to download them 1 by 1? [03:35] celthunder SuperFireLord42 it's a 2wire 2701HG-G [03:35] anyone here good with programming and python? [03:35] I need help [03:36] u cant use a cd to flash bios? [03:36] ubuser: Dommer a bit [03:36] ubuser: get a ub stick then do dd if= of=/dev/ then install from that [03:36] what? [03:36] Dommer: #python would be a better place to field questions about python [03:36] i want to build a package from some source for gtk-gnutella [03:36] anyone dont that reciently [03:36] Dommer: some..what's the issue [03:36] celthunder and wallrace i know nothing about 2wires. [03:36] guess im on my own.. [03:37] cool, found the ubuntu 10.04 disk torrent on the pirate bay, thru google [03:37] SuperFireLord42: wallrace 2wires FAIL...with that said...it should have port forwarding/dmz abilities check portforward.com and then just replace the game port with 22 [03:37] it's not about python exactly, but how to make a program from it. that said, taking a program I have scripted that is currently running and make it a real app [03:37] SuperFireLord42 i forgive you. but seriously you've been a huge help so far thanks [03:37] wallrace: you will ahve to look around a bit for it i think [03:37] Dommer: that's still a python question; you have to add a hashbang and make it executable [03:37] wallrace: thats what I do when i see new stuff xD [03:37] ubuser, your missing the important part it relies on the media itself, whether cd usb flppy or from a live setup, contact the manufacturer or the patch conveyor. [03:37] celthunder yeah he said he got it for free but thanks [03:37] how the hell do I do that? [03:37] Dommer: look at pythons tutorials, they actually are pretty well written [03:38] Dommer: but wait, you mean you have a script and you want to make it an app? [03:38] Dommer: python scripts already are "applications" [03:38] Dommer: they don't need to be compiled or anything [03:38] SuperFireLord42: wallrace did you try that site and seeing if it had the 2wire model listed or try a similar model name and just clickon a random app replace the port with 22 [03:39] yeah. I have written a web browser and it is runing currently on facebook.com I haven't seen ANY bugs and the plus to it is no proxy server is needed. I want to make it available for use for whenever [03:39] celthunder SuperFireLord42 escott at least i know it's a router problem now :P [03:39] celthunder: looking at it now actually :P [03:39] celthunder SuperFireLord42 working on it now [03:39] SuperFireLord42: pm? [03:39] Dommer: you're not very clear [03:39] celthunder: go ahead, if this client will support it :P [03:40] Dommer: upload it somewhere [03:40] Dommer: link to it then...you're sharing it === fred_ is now known as Guest86693 [03:40] how would I go at doing that exactly? [03:40] that* [03:40] hey wallrace, i got some light reading for us to look through :P http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/2701HG_user_guide.pdf [03:40] can i restore grub2 from a 9.04 live cd? I did a fresh install of Windows and lost grub. I was using 10.04 prior with grub 2 but only have 9.04 live with me... [03:41] Dommer: what exactly is it that you have, a python script? [03:41] JuJuBee, not from a9.04 [03:41] : [03:41] *9.04 [03:41] JuJuBee, yes follow the chroot method in !grub [03:41] :( [03:41] I'll show you if you tell me how I would post it [03:41] wit... [03:41] !grub > JuJuBee [03:41] JuJuBee, please see my private message [03:41] JuJuBee, what is the distro installed [03:41] wait wait wait, I think I know how [03:41] brb [03:41] anybody know if wine will run combat arms fps? [03:41] Dommer: you can share files on the internet in a lot of different ways, one rather simple way would be using dropbox [03:42] nit-wit: I have 10.04 installed [03:42] Zelozelos: check the wine appdb [03:42] !wine [03:42] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:42] err [03:42] !appdb [03:42] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [03:42] ahh ok forgot about that tensorpudding [03:42] Dommer: use postbin [03:42] JuJuBee, you need a 10.04 do you need a esy link [03:42] *easy [03:42] postbin? [03:42] I'm new at coding, I dunno much :O [03:43] Dommer: if it's a single .py file, you can copy and paste it onto pastebin.com [03:43] !paste [03:43] 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.

[03:43] hi someone french 6 [03:43] !fr | Guest86693 [03:43] Guest86693: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [03:43] JuJuBee, don't use the 11.04 to load grub it is diffrent. [03:44] awww maaannn... Now I need a 10.04 also... [03:44] JuJuBee, I would worry about the 11.04 easy version for the same reason. just use the chroot method [03:44] wait.. what the.... [03:45] Is ubuntu one here to stay, or should I also backup my files at another location as well? [03:45] KSHawkEye: ?? [03:45] all the code is gone :O it's replaced by freakin web scripts [03:45] celthunder: Is there any chance that ubuntu one will be closed in the future? [03:45] File "", line 2, in load_progress_changed [03:45] ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero [03:45] Traceback (most recent call last): [03:45] File "", line 2, in load_progress_changed [03:45] ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero [03:45] Dommer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] "ubuntu one" the online storage [03:46] KSHawkEye: if you're asking whether canonical will drop support for it, i'm going to suppose that's unlikely in the short-term [03:46] escott: what do you mean? chroot method? [03:46] Hopefully not. [03:46] do you have link? [03:46] SuperFireLord42 haha not only that but you're making me mad for not having set up copy/paste on this gentoo machine :P [03:46] JuJuBee, its in the !grub link [03:46] !grub > escott [03:46] escott, please see my private message [03:46] KSHawkEye: lol idk...100 percent likely long term...as things develop i'm sure it'll disappear /turn into something else but...for now ? probably not...always good to have more than one backup location anyway [03:46] KSHawkEye: Although if they do drop it, there's still Dropbox. [03:46] wallrace: :P [03:47] wallrace: i am not used to there being that detailed of a manual [03:47] JuJuBee, beginning here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#METHOD%203%20-%20CHROOT [03:48] i did a chroot to run linux on android, but the internet wont forward to it, so apt-get wont connect [03:48] SuperFireLord42 and the worst part is the picture doesn't match up with what he's seeing [03:48] escott: says 9.10 or later... :( [03:48] wallrace: hmm, ouch... [03:48] SuperFireLord42 he doesn't have a firewall tab at the top... [03:48] wallrace: is the pdf the right unit? [03:48] JuJuBee, exactly and I doubt you have to chroot but it is a good skill to heve.;) [03:49] JuJuBee, the chroot thing will get you into your installed system. you can do a standard grub reinstall following grub1 instructions if that is what you ahve [03:49] escott, 10.04 is grub2 [03:50] escott: I have grub 2 [03:50] poppo: Thanks for the tip for Dropbox, im trying it now [03:50] SuperFireLord42 it's a 2701 HG-G but I don't see that that has its own manual [03:50] KSHawkEye: no probs :) [03:51] Question - how do I tell what device my usb webcam is, in terms of /dev/video0 or what? [03:51] JuJuBee, i can't imagine why they say 9.10 and higher, it should work fine unless there were some substantial libc/kernel changes which will be obvious as soon as you chroot in [03:51] So Lenovo keyboards are crippled, the Fn key is where the Control key should be. I can't change 15 years of habit.... how can I change my Fn key to be a control key also? [03:52] 10.04 would be the "or later" part, the message is included because grub2 was first introduced in 9.10 [03:52] as default that is [03:52] JohnTeddy, first see if Fn is even recognized in xev if it isn't then i think you are SOL [03:52] i have a problem with youtube videos, everytime i maximize the videos it lags [03:53] full screen maximization [03:53] JohnTeddy: the Fn key is actually special [03:53] trism, which is bull**** because the point is to chroot in, the only versions that matter are the versions on the already installed system [03:53] JohnTeddy: it's not a real key; it only sends key signals when paired with another key [03:53] JohnTeddy: so there isn't likely anything you can do [03:53] damn, this is so silly. Why did they put the Fn key there. [03:53] JohnTeddy: since pressing the key isn't recognized by the OS [03:53] I hate laptop keyboards [03:54] JohnTeddy: my advice is to make caps lock a second control key [03:55] JohnT [03:55] oops [03:55] escott: oh, I see your point, yes it is awkwardly worded [03:55] JohnTeddy, best advice is to get used 2 getting used to diff keyboards. adapt-overcome ;) [03:55] french [03:56] !fr [03:56] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [03:57] trism, unless there was a big libc change or if the 9.10 and later libc cannot interface with 9.4 and earlier kernels... and its been a while since that kind of incompatiblity has been introduced [03:57] using 11.04 and i guess its called unity, is there a way to add a panel so i can have my applets back such as the clipboard edit thingy n such? [03:57] can one edit xorg.conf and set vncserver as display output? [03:57] what package should i use for qt4 core? [03:57] hi [03:58] Is anyone familiar with the iFolder client? I keep getting a 'Novell.iFolder.iFolderApplication.StartiFolder' error when I try to start it not as any user but root. [03:58] i have a problem with youtube videos, everytime i maximize the videos to full screen view it lags [03:58] is there a terminal more powerfull than gnome-terminal ? another alternative ? === claudio_ is now known as botinha [03:58] the terminal is more powerful on KDE [03:58] maxagaz, what do you want that makes it more powerful? [03:58] maxagaz: then install the KDE terminal and use that instead ;P [03:59] (package: konsole) [03:59] Question - lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:080f Logitech, Inc. Webcam C120. for my usb webcam. What would this translate to in /dev/path? I need to use a /dev/video path for ZoneMinder to work. [03:59] maxagaz: I'd recommend urxvt (rxvt-unicode in the repos) [03:59] roasted see where the symlink in /dev/bus/usb/001/004 points [03:59] escott, how would I do that? [04:01] SuperFireLord42 escott all the guides for the 2701hg-g say there's a firewall tab in the top right but we don't have one. this is getting to be ridiculous. [04:01] somethings really wrong, i'm gone [04:01] roasted ls -l [04:02] sage000: it looks so ugly [04:02] rosstaylor youtube uses flash right? try and increase the amount of storage space is my only guess, or pause for a while then goto fullscreen and play [04:03] sage000: I'd like something that allow me to split the terminal in two [04:03] maxagaz: Do you want powerful or pretty? ; p (if you want split-screen terminals, look into byobu or screen) [04:03] sage000: I want pretty [04:03] zelozelos: any other suggestion? [04:04] sage000: byobu/screen's mouse scroll isn't convenient [04:04] Does anyone know if there is terminal software that allows tabbing, like gnome-terminal, but that I can use remotely without having to enable X forwarding? [04:04] Hello. I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 which came with Parole media player. I'm trying to play an AVI file, but it says I'm missing a pluggin. I searched the net but, found nothing. [04:05] I'd like to SSH into my remote box and open multiple prompts within a single, non-x-forwarding session. [04:05] rosstaylor, perhaps its the browser and not flash, try a diff browser, check 2 make sure your connections is good, u have a decent vid card right? [04:05] bluebomber, screen [04:05] sage000: sorry, byobu's mouse scroll is fine indeed [04:05] roasted, that may not work actually. im not sure how you distinguish v4l devices [04:06] sage000: better than screen's one [04:06] hi [04:06] sage000: do you know how to run byobu by default when I open a terminal ? [04:06] I found this page ( http://ajdiaz.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/integer-conversions-in-bash/ ) and I was wondering if any one could explain the first example in the page? [04:07] maxagaz: I just have a keyboard shortcut, with 'urxvtc -e byobu' mapped to Alt-S. [04:08] how can I get my pc's internal sd card reader to read my card? [04:08] zelozelos: this problem has surfaced as of recently, everything worked fine before i upgraded to 11.04 [04:09] <_genuser_> hello ubntu nuts [04:09] hello you [04:09] uabn93, what trouble are you having with it now? [04:10] rosstaylor, try the FF addon flash aid. [04:10] yourname32: It doesn't read my sd card when I plug it in. It's strange. [04:11] uabn93, when you plug in the card, if you type in 'dmesg' to the terminal, does it show any reference to a new usb device? [04:11] yourname32: And I know that its plugged into the mobo correctly because it lights up when plugged in [04:12] alright escott SuperFireLord42 celthunder thanks for all the help we're gonna call it a night [04:12] wallrace: gnight [04:13] what's the name of the terminal for kde ? [04:13] terminal [04:13] carnage1: what's the package name ? [04:14] lxterminal [04:14] yourname32: all i really see is "usb 5-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2" [04:14] uabn93: try this unplug the card, open a terminal and enter this: tail /var/log/messages , now insert the card and check if the computer recognize the sd card [04:15] @maxagaz kosole [04:15] *konsole [04:16] anyone know whats segmentation faults exacly? [04:16] ariez: its when you access something your not allowed to === idleone is now known as IdleOne [04:16] ariez, that's a common problem in programming [04:16] uabn93: you want this line: "May 24 22:15:20 kernel: [ 2591.345811] sdb: sdb1" more exactly you want the "sdb1" part of the line [04:17] lsv: didnt work. [04:17] Hello, I need help... I want to install Ubuntu but i dont want to fully format my windows hard drive, is there a way to partitionate my disk without losing my data ? [04:17] side by side [04:17] ok, here's the problem: i have the user account logged on. only 1 user account without root privs. how do i get root privs without them already lol [04:17] i see this message error every time i do iwconfig [04:18] sorry im nub at ubuntu. i work on windows computers lol [04:18] I found there is no way to report a problem on launchpad now, if I click "report a bug", it direct me to a wiki page on how to collect program data etc. that is not what I want... any hints? [04:18] uabn93: so nothing is added to the terminal when you plug your sd card? [04:18] nit-wit: how do i get that [04:18] lsv: Oh. wait a sec.... [04:19] rosseaux, click on the addons and put it in the search box [04:19] any1 got a solution? [04:19] Exia00, I don't know if the current ubuntu installer has this built in - but in the past I've always used gparted LiveCD to resize my windows (NTFS) partition and leave some blank space, then install a dual-boot setup. [04:20] Exia00, off course, in the installation you are asked to select all the disk or just some free spce to install ubuntu [04:20] rosstaylor, click on tools addons and put it in the search box, sorry rosseaux [04:20] at least 8 gigs [04:20] lsv: this apears "sd 0:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" and then this line afterwards "EXT4-fs (sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)" [04:20] can any1 help? [04:20] hmmm nice many thanks! yourname32 and debsan, i'll check both [04:21] jester, do you need root to install something? You shouldn't always be running as root. If you've got unubtu, just append 'sudo' before the command you're trying to run. [04:21] is there a way to disable the sound manager stuff? I have powered speakers and want the ALSA mixer set up a certain way [04:21] xrfang: it is described on that page, in the Filing bugs at Launchpad.net section [04:22] no. i dont have an account so i can do anything that requires admin privs === aaron is now known as Guest26698 [04:22] nit-wit: that didn't work.. [04:22] it took forever to even log in [04:22] okay, hello everyone, i am still having bios problems, i am on ubuntu 5.1, i was wanting to upgrade.., i was wondering if there was a mini ubuntu that i could just download instead of having to burn to a cd, and keep this as backup or delete it later... [04:22] uabn93: I don't know a lot but did your pc turn off suddenly while your sd card was on or you unplug the sd card when you were passing thing to or from the sd card? === Guest26698 is now known as geeksmith [04:22] jester, are you trying to recover a computer that you need root access to? I'm just confused as to what you're trying to do. [04:22] is ubuntu built in firewall secure? [04:22] i had to reset my pass for my account [04:22] rosstaylor, did you have a popup to run it on restart of FF? [04:23] anytime i want to do anything (almost) it asks for admin privs account password [04:23] i dont have one and cannot set [04:23] how do i do an ubuntu install from desktop without cd? [04:23] cant make a new account or anything [04:24] jester, are you running in ubuntu, or some other flavour of linux? [04:24] jester: can you open a terminal? [04:24] i have it open now [04:24] nit-wit: no pop up [04:24] jester: if you can, ps ax > process-list.txt and pastebin the process-list.txt [04:24] jester: which version Ubuntu btw? [04:24] but it says my account is not in the sudoers file [04:24] 11.04 [04:25] i downloaded a mini 64x 11.04 ubuntu iso, and it kept freezing [04:25] jester: you probably just clobbered your /etc/sudoers [04:25] lol maybe [04:25] jester: actually, pastebin your /etc/sudoers, if you can read it [04:25] is there any way around using a cd to install ubuntu [04:25] how to fix? [04:25] ok hold [04:25] lsv: I don't think so cause it never worked since Ive started using linux. not sure if it even worked back when i had windows but I can get the sd card to work if i plug it in with a usb to sd adapter i have. [04:25] nit-wit: it doesn't seem to work.. [04:25] jester: use a LiveCD to copy the /etc/sudoers from a working Ubuntu install [04:26] ubuser: have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes ? You can't upgrade from 5.1 to the latest, you have to do it incrementally [04:26] rosstaylor, it usually popsuo the first run as it searches for the latest Adobe and removes the installer. Most people don't remove the installler so it seems strange for it not to. [04:26] yea [04:26] nty [04:26] tomek_, the firewall is secure, although you might need to tweak the default setup if you're making a production server. [04:26] 4 gigs ftw [04:26] i dont have a sudoers file lol [04:27] nit-wit: i ran it [04:27] jester: You can reset password via recovery [04:27] and i dont know how to copy the files [04:27] i did that [04:27] uabn93: oh ok. type " mount " in the terminal, is there anything in the output with "sda7"? [04:27] rosstaylor, generally it is a fixall tool hope it works.;) [04:27] alt f4 to type with colors!11 [04:27] jester: well there's your problem, hahah. Do you have a working Natty machine elsewhere? I don't know if the LiveCD sudoers is the same or not [04:28] really, no ban for that? [04:28] jester: Hold shift at boot, log to root shell (no networking), passwd [04:28] no i dont (im sorry im such a lost cause XP) [04:28] roothorick: Not on the first time. [04:28] i did that [04:28] Flannel: fair enough [04:28] ubuser: your only option is to do a fresh install, then. You can't do that in-place, you'll need a boot CD [04:28] nit-wit: ok it appears so [04:28] nit-wit: thank yo [04:28] nit-wit: !! [04:28] rosstaylor, no problem [04:28] I wish I knew more about Ubuntu recovery stuff, heh [04:28] jester: groups , what it gives? [04:29] jester: long story short, you need to replace your /etc/sudoers. That'll fix your biggest problem by itself. [04:29] lsv: just this "(sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)" [04:29] exit [04:29] Does ubuntu 32 bit uses 4Gb RAM ? Or that is just another windows crap ? [04:29] ok [04:29] ill see if i can copy form the cd [04:29] gastaldi: the 4GB limit is an inherent hardware limitation. It affects all versions of Windows, all versions of Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, Hurd, you name it. [04:30] lsv: forget what i said above [04:30] and ill see if i can stay on chat while so [04:30] Is there a way I can disable my integrated webcam? [04:30] roothorick: thanks for the explanation [04:30] gastaldi: you should be using 64bit if your processor supports it, regardless, anyway [04:31] cool [04:31] lsv: Yup :) i see it. it say /dev/sda7 on /media/blahblah [04:31] roasted: Well you could just chmod /dev/video0 (if this is right dev) [04:31] gastaldi: because AMD64/EM64T is more than just bigger pointers, it has extra registers and other useful thihngs [04:32] re my .iso file I know what it is because the My-computer view showed me the titile. so I renamed the .iso file. so I opened the .iso with VLC and it is all well thanks hiexpo and escott and celthunder [04:32] lsv: Do you mount with " mount" followed by the sda7 line? [04:33] roothorick: Superb ! [04:33] hi sorry my english [04:33] qin, what just chmod 000 it? [04:34] hi is it no longer possible possible to change your user account pic? [04:34] but i d like to know how i can secure my computer under ubuntu ... mask ip etc [04:34] roasted: For a test yes, eventually you can blacklist coresponding module. [04:34] So, I used unetbootin with Natty Narwhal, and used the "add persistent" feature and gave it 300mb (2gb usb) [04:34] uabn93: I would mount it by typing: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /media/some-folder [04:34] but when I go in there, it says I have 0mb available to me [04:35] so how do I disable SoundMenu? [04:35] I see "330mb file system" in the file explorer, but there's nothing in nit [04:35] what did I do wrong? [04:35] roasted: Just make sure what where orginal /dev/video0 permissions (if you change your mind) [04:36] uabn93: where some-folder is an existing folder [04:36] qin, thanks bro [04:36] Fritz750: can you be more specific? Ubuntu has firewall, intrusion detection, and several other network security systems. What are you trying to accomplish? (Don't worry, your english seems just fine) [04:37] Fritz750: man iptables (first stop) [04:38] append initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- persistent [04:38] that's my syslinux.cfg line [04:38] yes i know ubuntu is almost secure than W7etc but its about my ip what i do on the net etc ,,, [04:39] iptables/ [04:39] lsv: Mounting it under a new file name worked but still doesn't read the card. It's alright though [04:40] lsv: i learned something new [04:40] uabn93: :D glad I could be of help [04:40] lsv: Thanks for the help. I'll just use the usb adapter from now on [04:41] hi everyone , is it possible to stop notifications momentarily when 'im playing mame in full screen? [04:41] Fritz750: you can use anonymizer systems like anonet to tunnel traffic and essentially hide it. If you're trying to secure your computer from attacks, then iptables is the first stop, as qin indicated. [04:41] uabn93: no problem [04:42] one of my monitors looks like shit [04:42] the other one is clear [04:42] why is this? [04:42] moses: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:42] iptables ? sorry don t know what is it? :) [04:43] hi do C++ coul be used for bilding apps for linux [04:43] Fritz750 it's your software firewall built into the Linux kernel [04:43] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables [04:44] oops ok sorry [04:44] sure, why not [04:44] are from us 6 [04:44] ? [04:45] Hey, I hope somebody can help me out. My apache error log is being spammed with weird messages and I'm not sure where they're coming from. They don't seem to be associated with any entries in the access log [04:45] allright then back to study....... [04:45] do we need any antivirus on linux , AFAIK it was no but read in some tech magazine that it is better to have it .. is it true? [04:45] REK_007: i only use an AV to scan files before passing them on to windows users [04:46] i personally use clamav [04:46] Axlin: which one do you use? [04:46] i just use clamav, but there are others available, like avast [04:46] ok so its basically required to clean windows in a way :P [04:46] @REK_007 ClamAV but its very unlikely [04:46] as mentioned mainly to used to scan for Windows viruses on Samba shares, email gateways, etc === pilau is now known as piLau [04:47] REK_007: i just do it *just* to be certain. i have never found anything malicious yet, as i don't send my friends/family suspicious stuff, but i guess i'm just nice like that :-P [04:47] Fritz750 Firestarter will allow you to easily configure your firewall (IPTables) but its good to learn how it works [04:47] :P [04:47] Or maybe it's the case that they show up in my error log after each request, but they're PHP errors and I'm requesting a perl cgi [04:48] thanks a lot surgeterrix [04:52] oh i m ok for firewall but it s for "net" activity .. mask my ip on irc ... ? [04:53] Fritz750 just remember to open ports for anything your running as a server like ssh, httpd etc [04:53] Fritz750 that's a bit more advanced [04:53] does anyone know what " let someVar=10#$anotherVar " do if both variables are integers? [04:53] Fritz750 proxies, anonymyzers, Tor, etc can be used but you kind of have to know what your doing [04:54] hey guys don t you know what s really happen in europ6 [04:54] ? [04:55] why does my dual-monitor revert to mirror screen after screen saver? [04:56] lsv: in what language? sh? If so, it assigns 10 to someVar, and ignores the rest due to the '#'. I guess this could be shell-dependent, but zsh treats it how I described. [04:58] geeksmith: I'm using bash. I ask because I saw this ( http://ajdiaz.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/integer-conversions-in-bash/ ) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:59] hi, how can i install this patch to banshe : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540873 [04:59] Gnome bug 540873 in User Interface "Allow changing browser filters; add/remove genre, album artist, year, etc" [Enhancement,Assigned] [05:02] hi all, can i know when is the next meeting for Asia Oceania Ubuntu Membership Board? [05:02] xchat-gnome --help [05:03] is anyone using lts here [05:03] 3 questions :) [05:03] hey gents, i've been using kde for going on 6 years now. is gnome good now? should i give it a try? [05:03] i've been looking forward to kde 4.6 [05:03] going to upgrade to natty [05:04] but wondering if i should try gnome, i keep hearing about 'unity' and all that [05:04] lsv: interesting...i guess zsh and bash differ in this functionality [05:04] is it good? [05:04] p896gbm: it's good [05:04] is kubuntu good or should i use a different distribution to get a good kde? [05:05] p896gbm,,, i found Unity very clumsy to use, so I went back to Classic [05:05] geeksmith: yeah, I was like Whaaatt?!?!?! because I though that # would do what you said... [05:05] p896gbm: kubuntu is pretty good, but barebone [05:05] p896gbm: hard to get an objective opinion here in the Ubuntu forum, but I do enjoy Kubuntu more than other KDE distros I've tried. You can always install kubuntu-desktop to give it a whirl. [05:05] geeksmith: and now I'm trying to figure out how that works... no luck so far [05:05] are u from us from all of people on here ? [05:07] lsv: that's a pretty interesting bash feature! [05:09] is karmic koala still supported [05:09] okay. how do I get emerald working? [05:09] seems in 11.04 it doesn't work. [05:10] related to unity from what I understand, so how do I fix it? [05:10] whats emerald [05:10] i prefer to use xfce4 with compiz and emerald. [05:10] geeksmith: it is, but I don't understand it :( [05:10] im kinda liking mint10 [05:11] aw === root is now known as Guest60962 === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest8234 [05:14] what are some decent text editors for Ubuntu? Other then gedit and vim [05:15] nano === DrProfessor is now known as rannmann [05:15] gnight. [05:15] Non command line based [05:16] KSHawkEye: scite, leafpad [05:16] KSHawkEye: mousepad [05:16] KSHawkEye: gvim :) [05:17] KSHawkEye: emacs [05:17] KSHawkEye: meld [05:17] i use that for svndiff a lot. [05:17] KSHawkEye: also kate, bluefish [05:18] hi. [05:18] hey [05:18] Wow thanks, thats a long list [05:19] which is the standard address book format supported/accepted by windows/mac/linux and evolutioon/thunderbird/outlook and gmail/yahoo/hotmail? [05:19] so how many times do you guys recommend running apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade [05:20] lol [05:20] MODspartan, ubuntu can automatically check for new updates. you can set the interval [05:20] MODspartan: i dont use the update manager so i do it every time i log on, first thing [05:20] backing up stuff to an external drive to format. always makes me nervous >.< [05:20] Abhijit: CSV? [05:20] MODspartan: which would be once a day in my case [05:20] Logan_, ok [05:21] you can on w7 ? so you can onlinux /ubuntu ans it s more simple [05:21] hey guys can i rsync to an ntfs drive? i gather it will strip all the permissions but that's fine. [05:22] cool thanks for info [05:23] p896gbm: You can gzip to make things work better. [05:24] well i assume gzip would reduce performance since i'm copying between local drives... [05:24] is build-essential now included with ubuntu 11.04? [05:24] doubt it :/ [05:25] i think it is, i went to install it on a fresh 11.04 and it was already there. [05:25] wow that would be great if it is [05:25] makes me happy :) [05:25] so did I the other day, so I guess so :\ [05:25] p896gbm: find .|cpio -dpmv /destination works well too. [05:25] so fcrackzip....how do I know when it finds the password to my zip file? [05:25] Anyone using 10.04 and know hot go get lvconver --merge support? [05:25] build-essential is in the manifest file, so... yes? [05:26] anybody know how to get rsync to remove destination files that aren't in source? [05:26] p896gbm: --delete [05:27] thx [05:27] p896gbm: just make sure you don't the the source and destination confused. [05:27] it could be very detrimental. [05:27] don't get* [05:28] heh [05:28] yeah i'm doing a dry run [05:28] thanks [05:28] backing up before a format is hectic shit :( [05:28] but hopefully once i get this setup, i won't have to change anything for a while [05:28] koo [05:28] i've got five harddrives in this thing, and i'm gonna take a 500gb partition from each one and set it up in a software raid6 for /home [05:28] is this a bad idea? [05:29] three of the five drives are 500gb only, so they will be fully used... also have a 1tb and a 2tb [05:29] the 2tb will be partitioned for windows, root, and the 500gb home [05:29] how can i downgrade a package? [05:29] and the other half of the 1tb is just extra space i guess [05:29] i need to downgrade wicd 1.70 to wicd 1.5.8 [05:30] p896gbm: Using links seems to be less demanding... [05:30] koo [05:30] p896gbm: nope. maybe set up a raid 6 with the partions then stripe them with a raid 0, hence raid 60 :) [05:31] din: well raid6 is already striped no? [05:31] qin: using links instead of raid you mean? the idea is to get redundency, so if any of the drives fail i don't lose any data [05:31] i can just buy a new drive, make a 500gb partition and hook it up [05:31] .... [05:31] done [05:33] p896gbm: i misunderstood. raid 60 doesn't do much good unless you have more than one raid 6 set. [05:33] right [05:33] so emerald's been linched? [05:33] wtf? [05:34] is unity here for good? [05:35] infinitux: Emerald has been dead for a couple of years now [05:35] hella [05:35] the latest major release of Compiz killed it for good. it's been unsupported for a long while. [05:35] really? first I heard of it. jeeze am I out of the loop. [05:36] !emerald [05:36] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [05:36] guys im trying to try ubuntu on an imac through a usb stick but the info found the website is too technical, can anyone help me please? [05:36] that factoid was last edited in 2009 ;) [05:38] hi folks... can someone help me in configuring openvpn? i want to ensure that *only* a few types of traffic go through the vpn. i.e. like web browsing. right now i'm using hidemyass's openvpn config and it seems to be sending *everything* through the proxy [05:38] hm.. the wicd 1.5.8 crashes in lucid. [05:39] does anyone know how to stop X [05:39] there is a shortcut Fn+ home or end to adjust the screen light of my laptop, but I find that in all the screen light have 8 levels, how to increase the levels, in windows xp I get 12 levels [05:40] the screen brightness [05:40] Lsv: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will dtop [05:40] hello [05:40] ptley: thanks [05:41] what is a IRC plz ??? [05:41] synchro: Google is your friend [05:41] ok ^^ [05:41] !irc [05:41] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:42] if someone talk about what s really happen in spain and france ... :) [05:42] KSHawkEye thanx :) [05:44] Fritz750, they're fighting in battle fields [05:45] some one in the kubuntu channel sugested " sudo service kdm stop " [05:46] No that's not how you do it [05:46] just gonna give up on emerald for now. [05:46] oops [05:46] lsv: kdm - KDE, gdm - Gnome [05:46] It's /etc/init.d/kdm stop [05:47] PseudoGou: Why not service? [05:47] qin: That's how I remember it [05:48] !upstart | PseudoGou [05:48] PseudoGou: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [05:48] What's this then? [05:48] lsv: sudo service kdm stop - is ok [05:48] well, both works. [05:48] qin: thanks [05:48] so the real battle field will come to us van7hu [05:48] PseudoGou: thanks [05:49] Does anyone know what happened to the developers of bootlogd? [05:50] hi,how to chage my root pass [05:50] "passwd" [05:50] askaj: Why do you want to do it? [05:50] sudo su [05:50] passwd [05:51] !noroot [05:51] We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [05:51] !sudosu | PseudoGou [05:51] askaj: Usually there's no reason to set a root password, use sudo instead. [05:51] Ah that's why Kernelcheck wouldn't work, I have no root password [05:52] Hi. I think I messed up my .fonts.conf in ubuntu 11.04. Could someone pastie theirs for me [05:52] PseudoGou, you have a root password, it is just a very long random string [05:53] nope [05:53] Semitones_tea: No, the root account is locked. There is no valid password. [05:53] Anyone know Helbreath run in PlayOnLinux? [05:53] Semitones_tea: Any way of discovering it? [05:53] oh [05:53] PseudoGou: I thought so [05:53] PseudoGou: I thought so [05:53] Flannel: I thought so [05:53] guess I'm wrong :P, Flannel, was it ever that way? [05:53] Semitones_tea: No [05:53] It's a locked account - that makes sense [05:53] Ubuntu out of the box comes with the root password set to ! or * or some other obviously invalid never-matching password hash. [05:53] I believe it's ! [05:54] or rather, the root password hash. [05:54] But Kernelcheck kept telling me my password was wrong - now I know why, it needs root access [05:54] guyvdb_: where is it located? [05:54] (entered passwords generate a hash that can not contain a '!', therefore no passwords will ever match ! when hashed. [05:54] ~/.fonts.conf [05:54] or /home//.fonts.conf [05:55] Just out of curiosity, why is it that OpenSUSE and Fedora use the "xorg-x11-drv" drivers whereas Ubuntu uses the "xserver-xorg-video" drivers? Is there a real difference or is the difference in name only? [05:55] kinda funny that when i sudo su i type my sudo password and get a root terminal :) [05:55] ok [05:55] Some guy wrote an article on how that Ubuntu pushing people never to use root access is a conspiracy [05:55] guyvdb_: I only have a .fontconfig directory, sorry. [05:56] ok thx... looks like Font Manager must have added it [05:56] hiexpo: Change habit to sudo -i [05:56] will try remove it [05:56] [05:56] hi folks... can someone help me in configuring openvpn? i want to ensure that *only* a few types of traffic go through the vpn. i.e. like web browsing. right now i'm using hidemyass's openvpn config and it seems to be sending *everything* through the vpn. [05:56] so my laptop screen keeps locking after no use. how do I disable that annoying ass shit [05:57] gh0st: check your screensaver Preferences [05:58] thanks wonginator1221 [05:58] gh0st, power options also has relevant settings [05:58] ok [05:58] ya I disabled those but it keeps blacking my screen [05:58] gh0st: you're welcome [05:59] gh0st: Turn off your screensaver?

[06:00] ... no idea [06:00] 11.04 [06:01] I can't be a driver issue [06:01] gh0st: might be graphics driver related, but i'm probably the wrong person to ask [06:01] I can connect to a router now [06:01] I just can't use the internet [06:01] ifconfig [06:01] have u paid ur cable bill? [06:01] lol [06:01] lol yah [06:02] I even tried with a few other.routers [06:02] even my phone [06:02] that happened to me... blamed everything but me paying the bill [06:02] hmm [06:02] ... ugh [06:03] Guest65078: are you using a laptop?

[06:04] PseudoGou: On the underside of the laptop it says which Vaio it is, then I can reference the specs [06:04] Guest65078: does it have a switch to turn the wireless on and off? [06:04] Guest65078, open terminal type iwconfig [06:04] ok [06:04] dis iwconfig [06:04] first ifconfig -a see if it shows [06:04] k [06:04] should be "wlan0" [06:05] ahh [06:05] I'm on a phone hard to write what it all said heh [06:05] could someone pm me so I can keep up please [06:06] you have a wlan0 [06:07] Guest65078: does it have a switch to turn the wireless on and off? [06:07] yes its on [06:10] C-a 0 [06:13] Guest65078: I'm sorry I can't help you, but when you fix it, I would like to know how you did it [06:13] back [06:14] this is really something terrible, I get a temp 46 but a fan speed at 4200 rpm, what is wrong ?

[06:40] fixed mah internet issue :p [06:41] Having a little trouble getting cron to work on Ubuntu Server 11.04; but I'm sort of new to it in general, so I guess that's to be expected. [06:41] Anyone available to help? [06:41] moltendorf: Best to just ask the question, and if anyone can help, they will. Make sure you have a carriage return at the end of the line. [06:42] moltendorf: er, sorry, the "carriage return" comment was regarding your crontab. not your IRC question :) [06:42] pirlo89: maybe, but you might want to look for a channel specific to the language you are using [06:43] I have two additional newlines at the end of /etc/crontab [06:43] overcluck: its C++ [06:44] overcluck: do u know any channel ? [06:46] So this is the /etc/crontab file I set up: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=G0iLFab3 [06:47] It has two additional lines (21 total) after the # at the end. [06:49] Is there any sort of command I have to run when I modify /etc/crontab? I restarted the cron service with service cron restart, but it didn't do anything. [06:50] moltendorf: do you have an error in your syntax? [06:50] moltendorf: i recall it silently ignoring lines with syntax error, hence seems to dont load the changes [06:51] I'm not sure, I posted a link to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=G0iLFab3 === overcluck is now known as overclucker [06:51] Does it accept tabs? [06:51] Rather than individual spaces? [06:52] moltendorf: i'm not sure, but i dont think you'll have to reload anything, i rather think it parses the crontab each go [06:52] I did add two lines to it though. [06:52] and two folders. [06:52] moltendorf: try a simple line, like google up an example and try out to see that it works [06:53] moltendorf: like, let it touch a file in /tmp/ or so for test [06:53] anyways, off to work now. [06:56] can i use kvm for an already installed windows copy [06:56] i wanted to start windows from linux [06:56] is there a way [06:57] ganeshjacharya: virtualization [06:57] pranav: that's what KVM is, yes. [06:57] [06:57] Added this line to the top of the jobs in crontab: 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60 * * * * root date > /tmp/test === irvee is now known as irv [06:58] pranav: thanks [06:58] ganeshjacharya: not sure if this applies to KVM, but most virtualization software I've seen that can boot from hard disk partitions has issues with Windows attempting to reactivate constantly because of the different hardware. [06:58] ok [06:58] different hardware? [06:59] i have windows and ubuntu in the same machine [06:59] ganeshjacharya: yes, your actual computer's hardware is different from the hardware Windows sees from inside the VM. [06:59] ok === SyGeek is now known as FusionX === FusionX is now known as SyGeek [07:01] rww: am installing VirtualBox [07:01] anyone have a problem that when they run 64-bit their fan runs a ton more than in 32-bit?

[07:02] ||arifaX: like I said. I'm a newb. <3 [07:03] How can I fix this? Is there a configuration file to edit the way landscape is being shown? [07:03] It's a very annoying bug [07:04] ganeshjacharya: http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/virtualization-in-linux-a-review-of-four-software-choices/ [07:04] pirlo89: ##c, ##c++, #c++-basic [07:04] ganeshjacharya: have a look at that [07:04] pranav: thanks [07:05] ganeshjacharya: so which did you prefer to choose :?

(11.04 on a netbook) [07:11] hey, I need some help with casper on my liveusb [07:12] <||arifaX> pranav: you are not root. you might be a user that is a sudoer [07:12] ||arifaX: the account type says administrator [07:12] it's not mounting... my boot.log says "can't umount /cdrom: device or resource busy" [07:13] pranav: if you have a root shell, you shouldn't have to type the old password [07:13] overclucker: thanks guys it worked [07:13] <||arifaX> pranav: if you need old password then you are currently not root. what kernel are you on. There were some nice exploits the last 6 month to get root very easy. [07:13] ||arifaX: very *easily [07:14] ||arifaX: can you tell me some ? [07:14] ||arifaX: there's a nice little exploit called recovery mode . .. [07:16] <||arifaX> overclucker: you are right. and it would be better not to tell exploits here. If he is not able to boot he is maybe not the admin? [07:18] overclucker: ||arifaX are you guys talking about the root shell which loads without a password, when choose as recovery mode in the initial grub [07:18] ? [07:19] pranav: yup. you can reset a user password from there.

[07:38] ok I'm new to the room [07:38] I can't get 3rd party software to install on lxde [07:38] ide with minimal setting from me. etc [07:38] Largetoke: software like what? [07:39] well everything bit torrent, browsers all that [07:39] Largetoke: when you install apps via software centre, they will be added. Is this not happening? [07:40] i know that i need to use a pkg installer , Ubuntu didn't seem to give me this prob [07:40] yea I can get that to work [07:40] Largetoke: LXDE isn't an OS, its a desktop. Ubuntu uses Gnome [07:40] Largetoke: if you log off and on, does it update? [07:40] yea [07:40] i can choose whice desktop enviro [07:41] Largetoke: sounds like a bug then, if the menu doesn't get updated until you log off it needs attending [07:41] ok I'll check it out , its just im new to linux [07:41] capn: the spec for the language is an ANSI standard [07:41] but I do thinks its awesome [07:43] anyone here knows perl regex?

See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [07:43] okay.... at first i was afraid of Unity, then I was like 'hey this ain't so bad,' and now i hate the living crap out of it. [07:43] somebody help me fix it [07:44] I wanna remove "- Grateful Dead - Fillmore West 1969 - The Complete Recordings - " from file: "904 - Grateful Dead - Fillmore West 1969 - The Complete Recordings - Disc 09 - Morning Dew.flac" [07:44] You can use the old gnome shell instead [07:44] no no, i like the idea of unity.... i just wish it would, you know, work right. [07:44] anyone? [07:44] vexati0n: Just select "ubuntu classic" on the login screen [07:44] i have 3 major issues with it.... [07:44] oh, I don't think it has "work adequately" support yet [07:44] vexati0n: log off and log into gnome classic session, it will look and run just like maverick dide [07:44] favorite game for ubuntu [07:45] i tried but this doesn't work: for f in *.flac; do mv "$f" "${f#'- Grateful Dead - Fillmore West 1969 - The Complete Recordings - Disc'}"; done [07:45] Largetoke, Tremolous [07:45] cool [07:45] a) every time i log in i can't click on any of the notification icons except the calendar; b) i have dual monitors and the menu bar keeps running of the edge of the second one; c) you have to restart network-manager EVERY TIME you do ANYTHING. [07:45] Largetoke: penumbra overture, urban terror [07:45] any help? [07:45] for regex [07:45] robinsch: install rename [07:45] Largetoke, sodoku lol [07:45] robinsch: asked in #bash ?

[07:46] dlin now [07:47] vexati0n: what, because of a single feature which doesn't need to run. Doubt it [07:47] no, not because of a single feature. because of a hundred little 'issues' that all add up to make the system feel like a cobbled together basement project. [07:47] overclucker, what are you talking about? [07:47] * vibhav is ready to help others! [07:47] Largetoke, Tremolous [07:48] vexati0n: look at the bug lists for windows my friend, you'll see its just as bad [07:48] robinsch: there is a tool called rename that can do what you are asking. [07:48] hghj [07:48] like i can't click on the network icon... weird. oh look, i just added a new network connection, but i can't use it til i "sudo restart network-manager." oh, now i can't find the log off button on my second monitor. weird. [07:48] yeah but the bug lists for windows have one thing over ubuntu: the system SEEMS to work just fine. [07:48] i have rename installed but i still don't know how to use it, all I know is for loops [07:48] Is there a command to copy all of the files on my root drive over to another drive, including all system and protected files? [07:48] Largetoke: penumbra is not free in any way, but the demo is free as in beer Urban terror is free as the birds :) [07:49] you click on something, it responds. you add an item, it shows up in a list where it's supposed to. that kind of thing. [07:49] JoeR1: cp -ax / rsync / tar use whatever you like [07:49] vexati0n: works flawlessly here for the last 6 years [07:49] .. [07:49] ok good, now what is the command to list all system devices? [07:50] I need to find a hard drive [07:50] vexati0n: the 4 years before that were bumpy, but its pretty smooth now [07:50] JoeR1: sudo fdisk -l [07:50] JoeR1: sudo parted -l [07:50] robinsch: rename 's/-\ Grateful\ Dead\ -\ Fillmore\ West\ 1969\ -\ The\ Complete\ Recordings\ -\ //' *.flac [07:50] Joe: click on the power button on top right, it shows at the bottom [07:50] ubuntu is smooth for me because i know how to restart services, change permissions, track down dependencies and do a bunch of other little odds and ends that should never be presented to users. [07:50] overclucker, should i do -n just to make sure? === cypha` is now known as cypha [07:51] robinsch: always a good idea [07:51] ok, for some reason my hard drive is not being recognized [07:51] vexati0n: well yes but look at the money difference between the companies making the OS. As well as the support from manufacturers compared to Windows [07:51] JoeR1: is it internal? [07:52] vexati0n, ActionParsnip No talk about crappy Windows [07:52] Largetoke, Tremolous [07:52] JoeR1, did you try df -h in terminal [07:52] overall i like Natty, and i like Unity. i just wish Ubuntu would have a "we went ahead and kept everything the same, except it all works this time" release, instead of all these "we completely redesigned the wheel and now it has even more sides!" releases. [07:52] is it possible to search for repositories for packages that contains a certain file? [07:52] vexati0n: then use the clasic desktop and you will get that [07:52] !ppa | panfist [07:52] panfist: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. [07:52] overclucker, can I add a 0 at the beginning of files starting with 3 numbers? [07:53] i doubt the issue with network-manager will go away just because i disable the Unity plugin in compiz. [07:53] coz - got it, I started Gparted under root and found the drive with no MBR or filesystem so I set it to format it ext4 [07:53] panfist, yes there is a small utility name y-ppa-manager [07:53] panfist: apt-file, or the second set of search stuff on packages.ubuntu.com [07:53] panfist, I dont think it is in the repositoreis [07:53] vexati0n: use something else, wifi-radar and wicd both exist [07:53] i'm sorry i mistyped my question [07:53] it's for wired connections [07:53] panfist, also it is not to search for packages within existing repositories [07:53] i meant search repos already on the system [07:53] panfist: apt-file, or the second set of search stuff on packages.ubuntu.com [07:53] sup room [07:53] I'll be back later guys, I need to see if the live cd will now recognize the HDD [07:53] i have to manage a bunch of different wired network scenarios with only 2 NICs. network-manager is the best solution, even if i have to restart it every four minutes. [07:54] panfist, sudo apt-cache search name of package [07:54] vexati0n: then you don't even need it and you can just let it pick up dhcp naturally [07:54] panfist: use apt-cache or dpkg -S to search package which contain that file [07:54] vexati0n: unless you have some vpn / special dns servers you want to use [07:54] o.O [07:55] no dude i have NAT/no-NAT/shared-to-other-computers/spontaneous LANs/VM testing, etc etc etc [07:55] vexati0n: for wired connections I use /etc/network/interfaces file, its great if you need to edit the address of a system as you can edit the file and restart the networking service [07:55] way more than 'just plug it in and let it autoconfigure' will ever provide for [07:55] overclucker, also can I remove the disk #? [07:56] ActionParsnip, or I can just edit network-manager connections, and click on the right menu entry. way easier. [07:56] vexati0n: super handy as you can do it over ssh too, rather than having to use bloated VNC or pysically attend the system [07:56] please don't mention VNC. [07:56] it's funny that crappy protocol still exists. [07:56] vexati0n: i think its really oafish [07:56] * vibhav is ready to help others!! [07:57] vexati0n: wicd also has an ncurses UI which you can run over ssh too [07:57] sorry i'm addicted to X [07:57] hi [07:57] vexati0n: shame [07:57] yeah it really cuts down on my nerd cred but what can you do === thereheis is now known as thereheis_11 [07:58] , [07:58] vexati0n: its just slower [07:58] wayland is supposed to fix that [07:58] assuming they can get the mouse to actually click on things... [07:58] some day.... [07:59] robinsch: does disk # have a pattern? maybe 's/disk\ [0-9]//' [07:59] vexati0n: could use quicksynergy [08:01] i use synergy all the time [08:03] overclucker, that only clears out upto disk#8 [08:04] oops disk #7* === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:04] oh nm [08:05] how do i get eth0 working its been removed from interfaces [08:05] hi all! I want to make in my school nfs bootable ubuntu, so all of thin clients have hdd and I can install grub or any another loader [08:05] how I can do that?

[08:26] Hello. I ran free -m and I noticed that my swap is completely maxed out. What caused me to look at this is mainly because I notice a lot of HDD I/O writes while on chrome. Killing chrome freed up almost half of the swap. Why was it using all o fmy swap when I had almost 800 mb left on my ram? [08:26] jutzus:http://pastebin.com/sRULameX [08:26] hi, I can't boot to my ubuntu any more.. I havent been able to boot since 11.04 has been released. I was on 10.10 i believe. windows 7 boots fine, and im under a fedora live CD at the moment [08:26] jutzus: make it look like this [08:27] jutzus: save file, close gedit [08:27] maybe something is broken with my grub, but i tried some suggestions given to me last month so I don't know [08:28] HeTaL, you can tweak the swap. http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28224/How_to_tune_your_Ubuntu_PC_for_faster_performance_ [08:28] nit-wit: I doubt it's a problem with my swap size. Sure, it's not much, but why would chrome resort to using my swap when it should be happy using RAM? [08:29] jutzus: sudo service networking restart [08:29] DasEi: i have saved interfaces [08:29] jutzus: sudo service networking restart [08:29] HeTaL, that link does not change the swap size. [08:29] unknown instance [08:29] jutzus: sudo dhclient ,output ?

Currently I'm using Xubuntu 10.10, but I'm willing to change that. [08:30] HeTaL, its not chrome deciding it is the system when chrome is using up the ram if your correct. [08:30] nit-wit: I'm sorry for speaking without looking at the link first. [08:30] what shape would you like [08:31] robinsch: robinsch i'm not sure if rename has the ability to use a match in a substitution. you might have to use a for loop and sed to add a . after the ## field [08:31] any ideas [08:31] alexey: depends on purpose, what should be done with it ? is the hardware already there or is it a fresh build-up ? [08:32] DasEi: i have no eth0 under ifconfig or sudo dhclient [08:32] !who | jutzus [08:32] jutzus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:32] jutzus: sudo ifup eth0 [08:33] nit-wit: I really appreciate the help. Thanks. [08:33] DasEi: no such device === luiz is now known as LuizArmesto [08:33] jutzus: which nic was this, you mentioned earlier ? [08:33] eth0 [08:33] HeTaL, no problem hope you find what up I think chrome is a memory eater from what i have seen on lne. [08:33] DirtyDawg, rounded or completely circular, triangular, I don't care. I think anythin else would be cool. [08:34] nit-wit: It pretty much is, though it does have some features I wish were available on FF or Opera. [08:34] HHMMM, this is interesting, UNetBootin seems to be hanging on "media/2850-43E0/casper/filesystem.squahfs" which is what th error during install kept referencing [08:34] DasEi: no such device eth0 is missing in action [08:35] jutzus: which nic ? [08:35] well gotta go, again, I will no doubt be back soon to either ask for more advice or report success [08:35] DasEi: ralink r8168 [08:36] DasEi: i had to blacklist r8169 and install r8168 but then eth0 went missing [08:36] fresh, I must create stations witch have same hardware and software (like lazarus, fpc, gcc, etc) [08:37] DasEi: what does one do when eth0 is missing or how to go about fixing this [08:37] Every desktop environment looks so... Windows-y. [08:37] jutzus: looking for correct driver and modprobe it [08:38] jutzus:checkt output of "dmesg" for errors (r8168 related) [08:38] alexey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto [08:38] DasEi: you lost me [08:39] jutzus: nope , looking for your module [08:39] DasEi: thank you [08:39] Is there a windows manager or desktop environment or something that can change the shape of the windows from square or rectangular? Currently I'm using Xubuntu 10.10, but I'm willing to change that. [08:40] which is the standard as well as easiest way to set environment variable ? [08:40] Kevin_Flynn: try awesome ;) [08:41] ActionParsnip, ??? [08:41] Kevin_Flynn: looks nothing like windows [08:41] Kevin_Flynn: thats not job of a windowmanager, you'll need an Xorg-extension for non-rectangular windows/shapes [08:41] how do you keep the screen from locking out with password [08:42] llutz, such as...? [08:42] Is it bad if I don't have an /etc/inittab? [08:42] jutzus: its in the screensaver setting and / or power [08:42] hi why does ubuntu recognize the partition as sda1 and debian as xvda1 [08:42] HeTaL: I don't either [08:42] Great [08:42] jutzus, when you open screensaver dialog..you will see two tick boxes,, untik the bottom one first then the top one [08:42] Kevin_Flynn: such as "x nonrectangular window shape extension" ;) use google to find out how to get/how to use that,whyever one wants it [08:43] jutzus, that takes of the issue [08:43] bom dia a todos [08:43] ma3x: not heard of that [08:43] coz_: found it under screensaver thanks [08:44] ma3x: your debian runs in a xen-environment? [08:44] llutz, should I google just xorge extension or do I need one specific to xfce or ubuntu? [08:44] jutzus, you might also , as ActionParsnip suggested,, check under Power options to see what you want to do with monitor hard drive settings as well [08:44] Kevin_Flynn: idk, i never used/saw that. i only know that there had been extensions for that in the past [08:45] jutzus, rather Power management [08:45] jutzus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/612624/ [08:45] will have to copy it over manually, jutzus [08:46] llutz, yes it does but the thing is i created the partition with ubuntu live cd, and it's hda1 now instead of xvda1 so i can't boot .... should i remake the initrd image and specify -r /dev/xvda or how can i make the partition to be recognized as /dev/xvda1 [08:46] ma3x: use UUIDs or labels [08:47] Every package I try to install warns me abou it being unsigned. Can anyone pinpoint what's wrong? [08:47] alexey: well on 15 machines workload can be havy, so one would do with one or maybe two serverboards, it really depends what will be done with the boxes, that's cheaper, but on heavy apps might be slow, if whole class is doing intense computing === 17WAAI6C3 is now known as bildramer [08:48] 0.o [08:48] Hello all. I am unsure if this is the correct channel to ask this question. After a system update in the last week my tuner card stopped working.

[08:52] Hey everyone, got a quick question. [08:53] thanks [08:53] nit-wit: http://pastebin.com/ArVXSzfV [08:53] When installing 11.04 I can't find a custom package selection option. Is it just not there? [08:53] nit-wit: It just says cannot be authenticated. [08:53] jjinco33: what version of ubuntu are you running [08:53] nit-wit: But I can install it fine. [08:53] ma3x: you'll use UUIDs to reference filesystems.that won't affect the way how the kernel names the partition [08:53] jutzus: sudo modprobe r8168 , module there ? [08:54] imikey: 11.04, had to upgrade from 10.10 as known bug with the driver prevented it from working, was working the last several weeks after the upgrade to Natty [08:54] hetal at the end of the terminal command is the info needed post the while thing. [08:54] llutz, so you can't absolutely influence the way the kernel names the partition? [08:54] HeTaL, at the end of the terminal command is the info needed post the while thing.

I upgraded to natty and compositing is now all screwed up - compiz is times slower than maverick, there are awful compositing errors happening all the time [08:55] ma3x: afaik no [08:55] Oh and will there be a huge power usage difference between 11.04 Desktop and Server? I'm thinking about switching to Desktop because of some users being able to Remote Desktop to it instead of using SSH. [08:55] and I'm not even using unity, that's the classic desctop [08:55] DasEi: i entered sudo modprobe r8168 and no output went to a new line with blinking cursor [08:55] what is this called [08:55] nit-wit: That is the whole thing. Just running apt-get install *packagename* [08:56] wernerdev: you could install the graphics stuff you need by hand :) [08:56] HeTaL, run in the terminal sudo apt-get update and paste that read out [08:56] jutzus: seems fine so no FATAL warning there ? try again sudo dhclient [08:56] DasEi: same thing [08:56] DexterLB will it work the same as installing the Desktop version? Or does it give more trouble with some things? [08:57] ma3x: can't you just reference all filesystems by UUID without using partition-names? [08:57] jutzus: no output means the command succeedd [08:57] any can help me with LSTP? [08:57] jutzus: no news is good news [08:57] wernerdev: dunno about trouble but it gives control - you get to choose what to install and what not [08:57] Because when I choose for the Desktop version I want to install as clean as possible. Without Games and other programs I don't use. [08:58] I googled "linux non rectangular windows" and the first two sites that came up where at Microsoft.com. Weird. [08:58] wernerdev: you could also install the ubuntu-desktop package even on ubuntu server if you don't want trouble [08:58] i do notice i have no auto eth0 or eth0 for that matter [08:58] how the hell do i get eth0 back [08:58] llutz, ok i'll tr [08:58] thanks [08:58] jutzus: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start [08:59] unknown instance !!!!

[09:00] jutzus: hard to see, have you got a live cd ? you could then get the correct settings out of it, if networking is working there [09:00] DexterLB: I tried installing X on a Server Linux distribution before and it gave me a lot of trouble. That's why I'm thinking it will be the same with 11.04 [09:00] ilea: thats job of dhclient, "sudo dhclient3 ethX" ethX == your network-iface [09:01] HeTaL, run this in the terminal key is from from line 114 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 [09:01] wernerdev: try installing the ubuntu-desktop package then [09:01] DasEi: i have a bt4 live cd that networking was working on [09:01] jutzus: could work, too, boot it and come back here [09:02] jutzus: one thing still : [09:02] #ubuntu-ro [09:02] Thanks, I'll try in a Virtual Machine.

I know that LSTP can run all applications on server, but I need in staring em on clients (maybe /home /tmp /var mounts from cliens hdds) [09:05] HeTaL, you have to run the update again to see if you se the line 114 repeated again. I think you have a broken entry in the apt.sources list as well. run the update and see if that key missing is gone.

[10:38] A_J: Umm, what do you mean? [10:38] i'm pretty sure it won't be able to run 11.04 smoothly [10:38] A_J: do you mean make your laptop battery last longer? [10:38] A_J: Okay, it seems you're running Gnome classic, it doesn't seem to have a shutdown menu [10:38] I made upgrade to 11.04 via update manager. so i have a mess with unity, how to reinstall the upgrade still with update manager [10:39] ? [10:39] cdbs, which version do u recommed for a netbook 11.04, 10.10 or 10.04LTS ? [10:39] A_J: I'd suggest you to install package unity-2d and use that, you're using the classic old style panel env [10:39] A_J: 11.04, of course [10:39] A_J: install unity-2d, it'll give you a good interface [10:39] A_J: as for shutdown [10:39] cdbs,is that a package unity-2d ?

ActionParsnip [10:43] I installed 11.04 64bit, wireless works fine. Couldn't get some packages to work so I bit the bullet and went 32bit route. During install I was able to use wireless no problem, however after 32bit install wireless is dead, I tryed installing again, wireless is still dead except this time I couldn't access it during install. Suggestions? [10:44] jsuhde: is this a laptop? [10:44] A_J: power down, install and disable the onboard if one exists [10:44] dcg: yes [10:44] ActionParsnip, drivers update ? [10:44] can I upgrade from 32bit to 64bit or do I need to install it again from scratch [10:44] how the meca bec you pastebin from a linux to windows [10:45] jatt, yes i Think So [10:45] omfg' [10:45] A_J, when i updated, it just turned it off [10:45] many laptops have a key sequence that enables/disables the wireless. often fn-F2 [10:45] A_J: the nouveau driver will be used until you get the proprietary driver in [10:46] A_J, Unity i mean [10:46] maybe i can get that driver ActionParsnip card is a GT430 [10:46] dcg: It has a dedicated wifi button, still don't understand why it worked no problem in 64 bit, so you sugest I try a fn-f2? [10:46] A_J: the nvidia-current package will givethe driver [10:46] jutzus: do you have any working internet connection on the linux machine (wired maybe)? [10:46] ActionParsnip, full command please ? [10:46] jsuhde: just try the wifi button, see if it helps [10:47] dcg: been there done that £åügHîñg Øüt £öüÐ [10:47] A_J: sudo apt-get Install nvidia-current I thought that was obvious. You can also use software centre [10:47] dcg: thats what im trying to get working, extemly frustrating, i have just installed the correct driver can anyone tell me next step [10:47] hi, I'd like to get latest ubuntu kernel 2.6.39 [10:47] how? [10:47] where it is [10:47] currently I have 2.6.39rc4 [10:48] farciarz84: there is a kernel ppa [10:48] jutzus: so you have installed driver, did you end up with any error messages? [10:48] farciarz84: you use them at your own risk as they are not official [10:48] ActionParsnip, it's installing. After this Just pop the card in and disable onboard ? [10:48] ActionParsnip: do you have the address? [10:48] Hi, I would to download an OS of about 565MB, do you guys know any application or download manager with resume capabilities? [10:48] A_J: yes [10:49] i get this application say "gedit" while Alt+F2,... but when I try to add it to the GnomePanel on the top, it is not in the list,.. how do I make a short-cut there ?? [10:49] farciarz84: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa [10:49] i got networking working, just no internet access, this seems easy to fix, anyone [10:49] farciarz84: a quick websearch would have found you that EASILY [10:49] ActionParsnip, thank you. I hope nothing breaks like last time.. will try and let you know. Thanks once again [10:49] js: do you have any working internet connection on the linux machine (wired maybe)? [10:49] Chris_H, Gwet download Manager [10:49] A CHALLENGE: and sorry if it's lame. if you had access to a 'nix server at work, could run commands on it at work from an xp machine at a low user level only, how would you write the output of those commands to XP. (like $ command > gedit as as example) [10:49] jsuhde: do you have any working internet connection on the linux machine (wired maybe)? [10:50] comes pre-installed Chris_H [10:50] dcg: kinda, but not easily accessable. Any reason why 64bit install would work and 32 wouldn't? [10:50] A-JA_J: Are you sure? I can find it in application lenses. [10:51] natalie_: redirect the text to a file, then open the file in nano and copy / paste [10:51] ActionParsnip: thx [10:51] farciarz84: instead of immediately asking for clarification, try websearching based on the direction given [10:51] natalie_: try "command > /tmp/filename.txt" then use wget to put filname.txt on a webserver then download to XP. should be virtually foolproof. [10:52] A_J: It wasn't pre installed, but I found it in Software center. Thanks [10:52] Chris_H, 11.04 has it [10:52] ActionParsnip, I will test that, but if nano or no other text editor is available, anything elses [10:52] ActionParsnip, *else [10:52] natalie_: you can cat to the screen [10:52] jsuhde: likely driver issues. but if wifi got disabled for some reason you may need to re-enable it using wifi button, or bios [10:52] ActionParsnip, we are not your fans we <3 you [10:52] natalie_: there WILL be a text based editor, or you can use dc's advise and use sshfs [10:52] ActionParsnip, so $ cat COMMAND [10:52] natalie_: cat file [10:53] A_J: haha, thanks [10:53] Under ifconfig... eth0 as well as eth0:avahi [10:53] what gives [10:53] natalie_: what program on xp are you using to access the linux box? [10:53] dcg: tried that, bios doesnt have that option. Seems strange that it was working during install of 32bit, would the LiveCD use a driver from the 64bit install for some reason? [10:54] Hello. My display goes into suspend state after some time of idle. How to disable it? I've switched off screensaver, display power options, but it continues switching off. [10:54] Please help [10:54] QUESTION: anybody know of a tool to capture video of desktop [10:55] !screencast | thauriswulfa [10:55] thauriswulfa: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [10:55] is there a way to get the time when the pc was started ? [10:55] thauriswulfa: recordmydesktop [10:55] A_J: I couldn't find it. Anyways, I found MultiGet and it looks good [10:55] elfranne: who -b [10:55] jsuhde: no more likely the 32 bit install uses an older version of the driver. it is also possible that the 64bit driver has put the card into 64 bit mode, and for some reason the 32bit driver has not reversed that. [10:55] coder2: I've done it in xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/612664/ [10:56] llutz, thx a lot :) [10:56] dcg: but it *was* working during my first install of 32.... after reboot, dead. [10:56] thauriswulfa: you can also use gst-launch with the appropriate gstreamer pipeline. was doing it the other day [10:56] dcg, it's a stoopid thing, but i work for an isp (yeah, i was in another id before) ad everyoe acesses our radius via a gui. radsniff is actualy whay we are after, but i cant find the man for it [10:56] dcg: I'm at a complete loss [10:57] some1 help me get online [10:57] dcg, want to write a script that will make it easy t just dump. much easier to get 'appreoved' than a gui on a specifc version of jave [10:57] jsuhde: yes, on first install of 32bit it may work, then once you have used 64bit it may be forced into a different mode that will not work in 32bit [10:57] eth0 and eth0:avahi has wrong inet addr: [10:58] dcg, this kboard is crap sorry [10:58] ActionPar: Should there be more user-friendy way. For regular users, not for root [10:58] natalie_: come and join me in #sbts this will be easier there.... [10:58] ActionPar: thanks, I'll try it as a last measure [10:58] dcg, kewl [10:59] dcg: the thing is I installed 64 first, then loaded a LiveCD of 32. On the install of 64 after reboot, it worked, during the install of 32 it worked, after reboot nada. I tried reinstalling 32, during install its broken, after reboot it's broken. It just doesn't make sense ¶:( [10:59] yeah just ignore me [10:59] Action: you had me install the wrong drivers whats up with that ?

I do agree it works fine but I can't seem to understand it in order to make it suit my need or debug it. [11:30] eth0:avahi is getting ip address of 169. [11:30] i know this is a simple issue [11:30] its something to do with dhcp [11:31] and ip configuration [11:31] jutzu: yeah. What's the address of your DHCP server? [11:31] 192.168.1.1 [11:31] Ben65, Grub should automatically scan your drives and give you choices of which OS to boot to. [11:32] does anyone have Intel GMA 950 graphics? Can you tell me if they play back 720p HD video fine?? [11:32] bullgard4: same goes with the next chapter, firewall. just a huge config file. I really need to understand the works behind it in order to make my custom server secure [11:32] Sidewinder... I copied everything to a new drive/partition [11:32] andrei23: So the proper way to solve your problem with the help of #ubuntu is that you name the "ip forwarding and masquerading" more precisely and ask for an explanation of your particular "ip forwarding and masquerading" problem. [11:33] Brager: not really mine is kinda choppy on 720p [11:33] thanks Obsolate :) [11:33] Ben65, You could boot to LiveCD, open a terminal and type sudo update-grub That might work. [11:34] andrei23: Another route where you can go is that you ask in this channel for a "ip forwarding and masquerading" tutorial. [11:35] Sidewinder1, i don't have an ubuntu cd handy [11:35] and grub is installed, just need to boot lol [11:35] Ben64_Lappy, Yes, try the sudo update-grub. [11:36] but i dont have an ubuntu cd around :( [11:36] bullgard4: thank you for the advice. you are probably right, but having so many questions I believe I more fair from my side to read as much as I can on the subject and then ask questions. [11:36] Use flash stick [11:36] Ben64_Lappy, That proceedure is probably beyond my ability...:-( [11:37] andrei23: Reading a tutorial is usually the best starting point when having many questions on a subject.

Anyone know why it could be happening? [11:58] susundberg: no certainly not [11:59] only thing i can come up with is that your operator is expecting something (authentication etc, or blocking something etc) that causes other than ping packages drop [11:59] is anyone knowledgable with ifconfig [11:59] you could try -- if you have access to some server -- see what ports do work if any [11:59] but that is certainly quite longshot [11:59] try telnet !

[12:12] dcg: ok [12:12] fahmad: sorry that is partimage [12:13] popey: I mean to say that, in earlier version it was detecting everything automatically, now this is not good [12:13] patc: no problem [12:13] hrm... boot machine this morning, no changes since monday and worked fine then - unity panels / left bar no longer load by default, but will appear if i run unity --replace from console [12:13] Kanhiya: a regression by the sound of it [12:13] but if i get partimage then it will copy whole hdd which is 320 GB [12:13] popey: i also installed blueman [12:13] but i want to copy it into 16 GB [12:13] popey, Usually no more than five or six. [12:13] Kanhiya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=735018 may be useful? [12:14] popey: but when device is not adding properly ,how one can be able to connect to internet [12:14] Pudabudigada: lots of firefox extensions? flash? [12:14] fahmad: no, partimage uses some smarts, it should only use as much space as has been used on the HDD. in your case 9GB [12:14] Kanhiya: sorry, I don't know, I haven't used bluetooth for some months/years [12:14] popey, I'm wondering if it could be linked to FLash player, though it happened yesterday when I was just trying to open an image. [12:14] popey: thanks [12:14] Extension; Firegestures, and that's about it. [12:17] fahmad: check out http://www.partimage.org/ there are good explainations there. well there were last time I looked :) [12:18] hi [12:18] can anyone help me, [12:18] ? [12:18] !ask [12:18] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:19] Hello everybody [12:19] Hello anyone [12:19] i just wanted to make sure if theres somenone on^ ^ [12:19] I need a command to list the current cideo devices [12:19] theres 1601 people in here... [12:19] is there any nice way to change policykit configuration? It starts to get on my nerves. Yesterday I had to work 2 hours with Windows 7 and that was enough. Now I can't stand any more "ARE YOU SURE blabla" with password prompts [12:19] dcg: ok [12:19] Just tell me the simple way to downgrade bluetooth driver in ubuntu11.04 [12:19] *video [12:19] I just want to grant me all rights to install, remove and update packages [12:20] yassine_hell, There are currently 1,601 on this chanel. [12:20] if any body knows how to do that , send a private message [12:20] BajK in terminal type "su" [12:20] BajK: sudo su [12:20] no, no, no! [12:20] no sudo [12:20] no terminal [12:20] Policykit! [12:20] BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:20] well i had ubuntu 10.04 on a partition, and windows xp on another, i tried to install a older version on ubuntu (8 something), now when i try to open my pc i get "grub rescue>" [12:20] Whats the point of Linux without Terminal :\ [12:20] that it is a end user oriented working nice environment.. [12:20] BajK - no can do, terminal is the ultimate tool, it is where you give yourself the permissions to do all the extreme system editing [12:21] psht man! [12:21] BajK, just use sudo when you need it, no need to make your system less secure by being root all the time [12:21] I dont want to use the terminal. period. [12:21] oh man... [12:21] /whois resyoi5k [12:21] you didnt understand the purpose of Policykit, do you? [12:21] BajK - then you don't want to edit linux [12:21] I dont want to edit linux [12:21] you don't understand the purpose of sudo i guess? [12:21] I just want to install some packages without it asking me like 10 times for a password [12:21] since "Remember authorization" doesnt work for ages [12:21] so? [12:21] it asks once, then remembers [12:21] nope [12:21] it does not [12:21] It ask for a password to help make it more secure... [12:21] you're exaggerating [12:22] well, could you just tell me, where and how I can edit the Policykit configuration? thanks. [12:22] The second time in one session it says like, auto-granted sudo rights because of password blablabla? [12:22] in 9.04 there used to be a nice tool but it was then removed [12:22] yassine_hell, You may have installed an old, unsupported version; can you reinstall 10.04? [12:22] BajK, Ok I'm out of this, i am sure you can find people who know more than me anyway [12:22] BajK: on all 10 machines I have here the "remember auth" function works fine! [12:22] how to downgrade bluetooth drivers [12:22] dcg: then maybe it's a Kubuntu symptome [12:22] Bajk if you dont want to asked about permissions go use windows and get vrus as it does not have to ask to install [12:23] windows asks more than Ubuntu does... [12:23] What command do I use to display a list of all the connected video devices? [12:23] /join #kubuntu [12:23] Sidewinder1: ok how can i delete it? [12:23] help ~ [12:23] Or buy a nice mac [12:23] can't expand lv snapshot target support missing from kernel [12:23] rileyp, you really make windows sound worse than it is [12:23] Again: I dont want to be root and I am not working as root. I just want to be able to install, remove and update packages without it CONSTANTLY asking for a password, without sudo, just using the package manager.. [12:23] thats rght but it asks wrong questions [12:23] BajK: the GUI was removed upstream [12:23] no its unsecure and sad [12:23] yassine_hell, No need, reinstall to the same partition and it should over-write. [12:23] popey: so, how do I edit it then? [12:23] how to downgrade bluetooth drivers [12:23] BajK: if you are using kde (kubuntu) I would suggest asking in #kubuntu or #kde [12:23] BajK: use the command line to maintain policykit, thats the only answer for now [12:24] and any idea why it doesnt remember my authorization? Natty is even more strict than Maverick already was [12:24] rileyp, never got a virus in windows, just sayin [12:24] BajK, using the package manager, it asks for the password periodically, you can enter it, then install a thousand packages without entering password again [12:24] Sidewinder1: ok , but if i wana delete , i just have to format the ubuntu partition? [12:24] the problem herer is: [12:24] it asks EVERY SINGLE TIME [12:24] are you rebooting in between [12:24] you install one package, enter your password, then you recognize "oh, i forgot something"; install another one and then it ass again [12:24] no [12:25] i dont even close the application [12:25] That sounds not right, mine only asks it ones, [12:25] it used to ask only once in maverick [12:25] but since natty it asks everyt ime [12:25] all right so really no one knows the command I am looking for? [12:25] yassine_hell, Yes, that will work also, but, obviously will destroy all data on that partition. [12:25] BajK: it also depends what packagemanager you are using, if it is aptitude then visudo after reading man sudoers [12:25] is there any channel specially for bluetooth help [12:25] KPackagekit I am using [12:25] dcg: again: you miss the point [12:25] it's not sudo, it's polkit [12:25] JoeR1, never heard you ask anything [12:25] that's something totally different [12:26] BajK: stop being angry and go to #kubuntu [12:26] and I think policykit also breaks automatic package update [12:26] Sidewinder1: i dont have any data on that partition anyways, but it would fix my boot?? i dont have to setup windows or something? [12:26] Ben64_Lappy, sorry, i am looking for the command to list all of the connected video devices [12:26] man, you Ubuntu middle age GTK based program users suckj -.- [12:26] Bye, have a nice day [12:26] BajK: you may be suprised....either way you NEED TO ASK in either #kubuntu or #kde as it WILL be different for KDE installs [12:26] yassine_hell, I don't think so; just try it... [12:26] dcg: he allready left [12:26] JoeR1, lsusb [12:27] JoeR1, don't know if that exists exactly. you can try "lspci | grep -i vga" [12:27] Sidewinder1: >.< well if it dosnt how can i fix it :s? [12:27] Thanks [12:27] Hi, someone already deals with openssl s_client connect? i need to connect an IPv6 [12:27] * Sidewinder1 Sighs.. [12:27] Grootstyr: downside of doing a /ignore parts joins nick quit :) [12:27] is there any channel specially for bluetooth help [12:27] so i'm downloading ubuntu cd now.. how can i make grub stop giving me "error 2" [12:28] i miss my non-lappy [12:28] Kanhiya1: no need to repeat yourself, if anyone knows they will answer. [12:28] Kanhiya1: //list and go have a look for it. [12:28] Sidewinder1: so to format , can i use "Partition editor" then format to NTFS ? [12:28] yassine_hell, i doubt it'd do ntfs [12:29] Grootstyr: i do not understand [12:29] yassine_hell, disk utility is better [12:29] yassine_hell, Wait, you're not talking about a wubi install are you? [12:29] type: /list, you'll get a channel list, and go look for something with bluetooth in the topic [12:29] Ben64_Lappy: what do u mean ? [12:29] I'm having an issue, and I don't know what package to start delving into. I installed Ubuntu-tweak, enabled some ppas, and rebooted, now when I try to minimize everything I just see http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1066681/Screenshotwtf.png and on the session control page, everything is listed as "unset" [12:29] yassine_hell, i don't think anything in ubuntu can format ntfs [12:29] yassine_hell: Ben64_Lappy I think it may do ntfs, you will just have to try it :) otherwise it should be possible from the command line. [12:29] nope i have windows in its own partition [12:29] doubt you'll find one as /list bluetooth only gets 2 unrelated channels [12:29] holy s***, I'm running a 9400 gt - I was certain the video card in this thing was worse than that [12:30] Ben64_Lappy, yes it can disk utility and gparted [12:30] well in the "Partition editor" there is an option "Format To >" and there are alot other open ntfs,ext..... [12:30] !fixgrub | Ben64_Lappy [12:30] Ben64_Lappy, please see my private message [12:30] yassine_hell, Then reformat the ubuntu partition to ext3 or ext4; leave the NTFS partitions alone. [12:30] 9400 gt sucks though ;) [12:30] at least an HD4xxx+ or an GTXxxx serie would be preferable. [12:30] i meant what ima format it to .. === NyberMi1_ is now known as NyberMi1 [12:31] Nothing like programming naked [12:31] xD [12:31] yassine_hell, Please see my previous. [12:31] Trevelyaninc: programming naked makes fun release notes?:D [12:32] Grootstyr: it certainly makes this episode of my vlog more interesting [12:32] wot [12:32] ;) [12:32] yassine_hell, depends what you intend to do with it but most installers can format it to what they want [12:32] yassine_hell: I would always recommend using one of the ext filesystems for linux [12:32] oh speaking of [12:32] hi [12:33] I need to find data on Linux desktop/netbook user gender ratios [12:33] Anyone done an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 yet? [12:33] i have] [12:33] lots of people have [12:33] Slixxor, Mate, did you keep Gnome2 or move to Gnome3? [12:33] For those who might have misses... Gnome-Tweak-Tool now have On/Off switch for the Gnome-shell extensions.. pure awesomeness!! [12:33] 11.04 is more stable. but I have 1 lingering bug. [12:34] i kept gnome 2 [12:34] i kept gnome2 too [12:34] its much nicer [12:34] Gnome 3 is prettier than Unity though [12:34] i like a free desktop not a tabbed OS [12:34] Is this the part where I say let us move the f#$%#$ Unity bar [12:34] Slixxor, Right oh - that's what I was wanting to know...right...I certainly have tried/mucked with Unity and Gnome Shell (hell) and just wanted to keep my happy Gnome2... [12:34] gnome 3 breaks unity [12:35] Unity was the wrong move imho, gnome3, gnome 2 choices would be better [12:35] robin0800, Doesn't matter...don't want to move a particular machine to Gnome3 or Gnomeshell or Unity...just want to keep it at Gnome2 but move the OS to 11.04 [12:35] dunno unity is not worse than gnome 3 imo [12:35] Grootstyr, gnome 3 wasn't ready in time [12:35] jolios is fun gui to experiment with [12:36] robin0800: sticking to gnome2 until it was ready would have been a better solution. [12:36] Gnome-shell rocks the ass of Unity... Gnome2 also.. at least for me [12:36] chances are we are now stuck with Unity for a while(longer than just one release) [12:36] dr_Willis, Don't want to experiment on this particular machine...had enough of that in the past month...just want Gnome2 and STABLE... ;) [12:36] Grootstyr: whats the problem u still can launch gnome [12:36] does gnome3 include light themes? all the screenshots I've seen have this dark background themes I hate [12:36] Grootstyr, they had to release [12:36] old school gui is lubuntu [12:37] Obsolate: I know, although I would prefer gnome3 out of the box, instead of Unity [12:37] i chant restart , shut down and logout my systems Ubuntu 10.04 [12:37] Grootstyr: i have gnome 3 on my arch distro, well is not so great [12:37] robin0800: They could've waited one release with throwing gnome2 to the second place. [12:37] Jatt: I think they have.. The Elementary is pretty "light" [12:37] nnubuntu, Tried 'sudo' then 'shutdown' or 'reboot'? [12:38] Do ubuntu support .ace extracting? [12:38] Obsolate, I think gnome3 is great :) [12:38] soo I have a question... I have noticed in both 10x and 11x i can no longer slide the bar in movie player to choose what timeframe i want to play mp3's from.. as in i cant fast forward or rewind. this has happened on 2 laptops. unsure what the fault is. [12:38] !zip [12:38] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [12:38] Obsolate, you just have to figure it out, after a day, is really much better and faster [12:38] Hello everyone. I have a hard time setting up an old Toshiba Satellite A60 laptop. How can I install older kernel on natty without enabling untrusted ppas ? Thanks a lot. [12:38] Grootstyr, the next release will be better gnome 3 unity3d and unity2d [12:38] guys, can grub-pc detect osx on another drive. looking at /etc/grub.d/custom files. not sure how to use them though [12:38] vooze: im sure it is, the thing is windows manager are like womans some like blondes some like brunetes ;) [12:39] Debian is more my thing anyway, use linux mostly on my servers, and 30000 packages is nice. Especially when you are looking for some ported Darwin Calendar Server(Mac OS X Server) [12:39] Pudabudigada : but i already tried [12:39] sudo apt-get install file-roller; Already newest version. [12:39] Obsolate, ofcouse, but i just forced my self to try it, and stick with it.. after 3 days i really love it [12:39] nnubuntu, What happened? [12:39] Grootstyr, So what if ya like a redhead that shaves half her head, has tatoo's from head to toe and speaks only in Icelandic? ;) [12:40] YankDownUnder, haha :D [12:40] Pudabudigada : have you experience on EVOLUTION [12:40] YankDownUnder: i dont follow :O [12:40] vooze: Yes, that is the way... when you get it... you GET it! Gnome-shell will be and are awesome! ;) [12:40] nnubuntu, What? [12:40] * Slixxor pokes dr_Willis [12:41] Almehdi, :)) [12:41] nnubuntu, I know a little about evolution, but I hardly think that's relevant. [12:41] hello. when i have to displays connected to my machine, how can i move one window from one display to another? because it seems that i can`t drag it more than to the limit of its display [12:41] Slixxor, Have you tried playing the mp3s in Totem? [12:41] no im used to movie player now. [12:41] looking forward to gnome next gnome3 release or 3.2 (should bring some nice email + calender options #gnome told me [12:41] i will try to in banshee [12:42] Slixxor, Sometimes different programs react differently, experiment an find what works best for you. [12:42] vooze: Yeah, that is very much needed. Have you noticed the news in Gnome-Tweak-Tool? [12:42] Pudabudigada :- Sir commends are not working properly .....................some time its work or some time not [12:43] vooze: You now have an On/Off switch for extensions [12:43] nnubuntu, Is English not your first language? [12:43] hmm has anyone else experienced this? [12:43] Almehdi, nope, i just hate evolution.. i like pure gmail and google calender much more [12:43] Almehdi, ah nice :D [12:44] vooze: Mee too.. Doing Postler and google calendar [12:44] Slixxor, Rarely; most times it happens to me is when I try something different like a .mkv file. [12:44] vooze: Do you know a way to integrate Google Calendar with the clock applet without Evolution? [12:45] Anyone can tell me the right way to install older kernels on Natty ? Thanks. [12:45] hmm seems weird 2 different laptops with 10 on one and 11 on the other [12:45] Almehdi, nope, thats what #gnome told me, would be possible in 3.2 [12:45] 95% of my mp3s have this issue [12:45] i want to install skitaz on a old computer but i need after instaling to configure the pppoe network with console. Is there a way that i can make when i reach the dns part to make it autodetect dns ip adress because it dosnt work without it [12:45] then some work. [12:45] slitaz* [12:45] vooze: Awesome! [12:45] always the same ones. [12:46] hmm [12:46] Slixxor, A Codec issue, perhaps? [12:47] i find banshee too clunky. i think ill just use totem. [12:47] !codec > Slixxor [12:47] Slixxor, please see my private message [12:48] Slixxor, Perhaps that'll help. :-) [12:48] Hi, I am trying to get samba to work (again)... Samba is going (according to netstat)... but neither is the WORKGROUP showing up or the computer when I try to find it in the "Places->Network" menu item. what could be wrong? [12:48] Hi i am using ubuntu 10.10 I have to add another language into my system. By googling i know that how to do. But in my administration menu there is no menu item like language support. Is anyone know how to add it? [12:48] hmm im trying gnome mplayer [12:48] it doesnt cycle travks [12:49] it runs a new instance each time [12:49] = fail [12:49] Hi i am using ubuntu 10.10 I have to add another language into my system. By googling i know that how to do. But in my administration menu there is no menu item like language support. Is anyone know how to add it? [12:50] Hello ubuntu users! I am looking for reasons to try ubuntu, but I already have a paid version of windows 7 64 bit. Is there a killer app for ubuntu? Can I program easier on ubuntu?? Thx [12:50] ubuntu will get you laid. [12:50] EH? [12:50] by a man tho [12:51] Lol [12:51] ??????? Interesting. I have set the default player as Mplayer and now back to movie player and now.. mirculously they ALL work. this has been a 3 month issue. i installed xchat just to ask you guys lol [12:51] Matt_799: What languages? === NyberMi1_ is now known as NyberMi1 [12:52] well, C++, C, Java, HTML,CSS thats about maybe i will learn more [12:52] Matt_799: install it with wubi then you can keep win 7 and still play with ubuntu [12:52] Slixxor, CONGRATS!I love it when a plan comes together. :-) [12:52] yes but just what does play with ubuntu mean?? [12:52] indeed.. i love the expendables quotes haha [12:52] * Sidewinder1 Throws rotten tomatoes at wubi! [12:53] guys any idea what might cause compiz (+ unity) to not auto start when logging in? has been working fine since 11.04 upgrade and this morning just stopped working - but running compiz --replace or unity --replace from terminal starts it up fine with no issue [12:53] awesome.. back to 2 hour drum and bass sets i can cycle through :) [12:53] night ya'll.. outstanding as always. [12:53] Laterz! [12:54] Matt_799: I am not sure there is any special advantages on Ubuntu for those.. [12:54] Almehdi ok but what languages have advantages on Ubuntu, and what are those advantages? [12:54] Other than a secure enviornment. [12:55] I started my Ubuntu PC this morning after an unexpected shutdown and the Login Window isn't appearing after boot, I have a mouse and the desktop background is there. I can SSH into the box fine. How do I fix GDM, since I assume that is what is broke? [12:56] Matt_799: The advantages is freedom. No need to crack, slash and flush programs. Little chance of viruses. Probably a faster and more customizable system. [12:56] русские есть? [12:56] I've tried /etc/init.d/gdm restart as root, but no luck. === denny- is now known as denny [12:57] <_sd325> my ubuntu 10.04 does not start anymore. the load bar runs endless in the splashscreen. what can i do? [12:57] !ru > ubuntu [12:57] Matt_799: What i mean is that you would probably be equally productive on a win machine. Python, QT and bash are great on a Ubuntu machine though [12:57] are those object oriented?? [12:57] Dezzimal, thats depreciated now its all service start stop [12:59] robin0800: still works though [12:59] Grootstyr, I know [12:59] Matt_799: I am just a casual programmer so you might want to read up on those to get a picture. [12:59] Hi, I am trying to get samba to work (again)... Samba is going (according to netstat)... but neither is the WORKGROUP showing up or the computer when I try to find it in the "Places->Network" menu item. what could be wrong? I have tried everything I know. [12:59] Anyone can tell me how to install an older, more compatible kernel on a fresh Natty install ? [13:00] Matt_799, You'll find an invaluable resource, regarding ubuntu and all of it's facets at: www.ubuntuforums.org [13:00] Sidewinder1 thankyou i will look at "Absolute Beginner Talk" [13:00] nrdb: is it possible that samba is restricted to only run on a specific network address, maybe 127.0.0.1 or an address that is nolonger configured on your machine? [13:01] Matt_799: The nice thing is that you often not need to look on the internet for apps.. You have them in the repositories.. one click install. [13:01] Narc: if it is still available via the package manager running "sudo aptitude" may let you do it. but read the aptitude man page first [13:01] Matt_799, Or programming [13:01] Almehdi oh that sounds nice sounds like cydia for the iphone [13:02] Matt_799: Yeah.. like a market place but where everything is free to download === Th3R4t is now known as TheRAt [13:03] Matt_799, Keep in mind that the repositories connect to the internet unless you're using, exclusively, the CD. [13:03] reinstalling GDM appears to have no effect on the login screen not showing up either [13:04] Matt_799: As you seem more of a power user it could take a while before you get into it. When you do... you will never go back [13:04] hello, I'm trying to find out how much longer is 10.10 going to be supported please? [13:04] _sd325: how long have you left it running, every so often it will check your harddrive and it can take quite a long time with a big drive and a slow system [13:05] dcg, both "interfaces" and "bind interfaces only" and commented out. netstat shows "tcp 0 0 *:microsoft-ds *:* LISTEN 8096/smbd " [13:05] dcg: ok, thanks. I'm a bit lost. [13:05] Matt_799, Synaptic Package Manager handles most if not all downloads/dependencies, etc. It's the way one installs software in ubuntu [13:05] hello? [13:05] <[TK]D-Fender> gabe: Should be until 12.04 [13:06] <_sd325> dcg: 2 minutes. restarted several times [13:06] thank you :) [13:06] gabe: Non LTS releases are supported for 18 months [13:06] Almehdi well i don't think I can completely ever give up with windows, it has much better gaming [13:06] i am using ubunty 10.04 [13:06] do you know why 11.04 doesn't like nvidia graphic cards? [13:06] <_sd325> dcg: it a new pc with 2 cpu's [13:06] mine is CRT [13:06] gabe: Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 [13:06] which is turing off after some interval === panphried is now known as panphried_work [13:06] thanks :) [13:06] Matt_799: Yes, so far that is true.. although Linux are getting better [13:07] the only resolution is to reboot the system [13:07] Sidewinder1 can you sort the repository for most popular/most downloaded/highest rated?? [13:07] _sd325: that is probably not long enough, it can take 30 min on a really big drive [13:07] i was not facing this issue when i was using fedora [13:07] Matt_799: Most games are playable through Wine.

[13:32] I need your help folks. The only way to make Natty's kernel work on an old laptop is to set acpi=off. Problem is, when doing so, the system won't shutdown completely and the user need to press the power button. I'd like to see the "System halted" text instead of the splash screen just hanging there. I already set "nosplash" in boot options but it seems it's only effective at startup. How do I enable text-only shutdown ? Or solve [13:32] acpi issue ? Thanks. [13:32] Matt thats 3 virtual per tuner so that makes 5 x 3 = 15 [13:33] basics [13:33] subz3r0: You could also try "ctrl+alt+f1" and "ctrl+alt+f7" to get back... to get to a terminal/console/tty [13:33] narc try nosplash noquiet and text options [13:35] Narc, try the SysRq method that first makes your partition readme and then shuts down [13:35] dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll try that.

Also the "set gfxpayload".. It is not permanent.. it will come back in the next reboot you do.

I'm using vodafone 3g in Australia. [13:48] Hi all. Question, I have an ubuntu installation which I use to host zabbix for my company. Now I have connected a serial GSM modem, everything works prefectly. Only problem is that when I want zabbix to use the GSM device after a restart, I have to initialize the modem first with minicom. I was wondering if you guys know of way to 'initialize' the moden on boot? [13:48] INTERNET speed and general PC functioning dropped after I installed Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 . Is this installation a cause of slowing down? [13:48] JvdB: Do you want to run something from rc.local perhaps? [13:49] vibhav: don't you know hot to switch conversations in ircii? :) i mean like "multiple windows" behaviour... unfortunately i cannot open a link to read it since i have only this one terminal at the moment and this is running ircii [13:49] front end pc has no hdd it runs diskless from server with all the tuner cards and noisy harddrives in shed so front end is asrock ion can do 1080p [13:49] JvdB: ie. is minicom an app you just run and it does its magic or do you need to interact with it? [13:49] Matt_799, xbmc very good app and works better than in windows [13:50] naxa: Sounds like you should try ALT+F2 [13:50] BlueEagle; when I start minicom it initializes the modem for me, thats all I need. So basically I just start minicom, it initializes the modem and then I just quit the program. [13:50] naxa: ...and if you're not comfortable navigating trough terminals then perhaps you should let the installer do its work and then revisit the issue once you're more familiar with Linux. [13:50] BlueEagle: when i'm telling i have this "one" terminal i mean the other terminal is not working. actually this first terminal is logged in the system and the others are all logged into the rescue cd and i don't know how to start the system prompt from them... [13:51] and can be used to create more eye candy than a whorehouse on party night. Its uber impressive [13:51] and it has to start under a specific user, not being root.. because when I start it as root the permissions on the device change to root.root [13:51] JvdB: is minicom a text-based or a gui-based application? [13:51] ciao [13:51] BlueEagle; text, Im using ubuntu server [13:51] BlueEagle: so if i would only know how to make the other rescue CD terminals log into the installed system on /dev/sda2 like this (this one was logged in by the installer) it would be a great help... [13:52] JvdB: You could start and kill it using rc.local I guess. [13:52] BlueEagle: the problem is not with my lack of knowledge how to use Alt-F2 but finding out just what the installer actually does with all those nice dialogs... i don't know where is the file that executes those, if I could only read it ( i guess it's a script of some sort) [13:53] Ill give it a try BlueEagle, thnx [13:53] how to connect mobile broadband via the command line?

[14:14] clicking to change desktop background is not opening , any idea to reslove this? [14:14] Hey everyone. I was wondering how much power usage the Desktop version uses compared to the Server version. [14:14] *do-release-upgrade [14:14] Combatjuan: I don't think soo, it's provided for 18minth for non LTS and that's it [14:15] Can Unity be as idle as the command-line Server version? [14:15] wernerdev, I never measured it, however I would assume server is les intensive === grundo is now known as Grundo [14:15] less === Grundo is now known as grundo_ === Alien_Freak is now known as csgeek [14:15] wernerdev: realistically, not much different [14:15] carnage1, Won't work without jumping through hoops, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:15] Will it be a lot of difference, or just a few watts. === grundo_ is now known as GrundoX [14:15] clicking to change desktop background is not opening , any idea to reslove this? [14:15] yeah i had to change sources to th next version [14:16] Because I want to add the UI for some of the people using it. They can't work with SSH. [14:17] wernerdev: an idle system is an idle system......but you could renice unity or whatever apps to your needs === GrundoX is now known as GrundoX[sleep] === GrundoX[sleep] is now known as GrundoX[away] === GrundoX[away] is now known as GrundoX[busy] [14:18] Best option for me will be to install ubuntu_desktop on the server I guess. Or is there a way to install the Desktop version without Games and other "crap" === GrundoX[busy] is now known as GrundoXcopy [14:18] wernerdev,wer , pls explain , can't work with ssh ? [14:19] !nickspam > GrundoXcopy [14:19] GrundoXcopy, please see my private message [14:19] wernerdev: another idea is to start stuff just before you need it using port knocking for example [14:19] BluesKaj: People using the fileserver with 0 experience with Linux [14:19] morning [14:19] Good Morning === administrator is now known as Guest71613 [14:20] osx intrepid iGoat [14:20] 1 [14:20] est time here [14:20] wernerdev, , what about setting up alias commands for ssh ? to make it easier for them [14:20] Beli: You have a article about that for me to check? [14:21] BluesKaj: That might be an option, but since most of them barely understand Windows I don't think that's going to work. [14:21] arand, Sidewinder1, BluesKaj: Thanks. I'll begin the painful slog of getting servers upgraded to lucid. (-8 [14:21] wernerdev: http://www.zeroflux.org/projects/knock --> knockd [14:21] Combatjuan, Good luck! [14:21] Beli: Thanks, I will check that out. [14:21] It was silly to deploy a non LTS anyway. Not sure why we did that. )-8 [14:21] wernerdev: basically you start/stop services/commands/whatever after a sequenze of predefined ports have been connected in a time window [14:22] Is there an easy way to switch the LXDE desktop enviornment to GNOME? [14:22] Combatjuan, You may decide that's it's easier to do a fresh install; I'd go with 10.04 Lucid. [14:22] does ubuntu support " Intel 82845G Chipset Integrated Graphics Device" [14:23] 10.04.2 [14:23] RAMLOCK: I think so... my wife is on a 82945G that works anyway [14:24] Jinxed--, do you have gnome installed? [14:24] But if I decide to just use the GUI what will be my best option? Use Server and install "ubuntu_desktop"? Or use Desktop and remove all Games and other "crap"? Since you can't do a custom install without the Games as far a I know. [14:24] sagaci, I have LXDE installed [14:24] can i inastall brug boot loader in ubuntu 10.10 [14:26] mac_: should do, it should be able to replace grub in most situations; though there are risks as with any software [14:26] Hi, I run 11.04 (classic) and "saving session" doesn't work anymore. Aynone knows an alternative or solution to get something similar? [14:29] uju]\ [14:29] RawChid, Just out of curiosity what is "saving session?" [14:29] similiar to rfresh inwindows === panphried_work is now known as panphried [14:30] Don't use windows... [14:30] Sidewinder1, that when I log-out it will remember the current running programs, en restart them when I login again. [14:30] save session - saves all open apps and restarts them when you next login [14:31] it can get.. annoying. :() [14:31] There used tobe a 'save, dont save, ask to save, or always save' setting.. somewhere.. [14:31] I believe my Lucid does that by default [14:31] does that feature still work if you use compiz and not metacity? i thought it was metacity only [14:31] It's good enough for me to have a static set of apps starting on login. So save once, apply every login is good enough for me [14:31] Firefox, T-Bird, etc. [14:32] I use Compiz [14:32] Hmm [14:33] is there anyone that uses QQ instant messenger here? someone could help me set it up so it works? [14:33] I usually shut down everything but when I forget, they're there when I reboot. [14:34] I can't display any website in any browser in Natty even though it can connect to the website. I'm using vodafone 3g usb tethering and in Windows it works perfectly [14:35] avernos: what's the problem [14:35] MichaelKohler, I have noticed that no one appears to know the answer to your question; have you tried http://www.ubuntuforums.org ? === denny- is now known as denny [14:36] hey [14:36] Sidewinder1: no I haven't yet.. but I will then, thanks [14:37] i've a problem with my ubuntu 20.4 system: when i start it it shows the ubuntu splash but after a few seconds the display gets black [14:37] MichaelKohler, Always a good option if your question is not answered here; it does take a little longer though :-) [14:37] hi guys i wonder if anyone can help, im having graphics problems when booting mythbuntu (this is before X gets loaded) [14:38] the system is sitting waiting for something, but all i get graphics wise is a set of vertical black and white lines [14:38] !ask| James2 [14:38] James2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:38] 20.04 WOW! 9 years in the future; just kidding! [14:38] and slightly different blocks of vertical lines where text oughtto be (well is :P) [14:39] Sorry, couldn't resist :-) [14:39] maybe 20.04 will just work with magical autoconfig :P [14:39] James2, compiz unity crash? [14:39] v_v, wont connect with empathy. i remember used to be with pidgin some configuration about the server conection, but with empathy no idea [14:39] this is before X even loads [14:39] so what can i do? [14:40] v_v, right now is giving me problems about authentification [14:40] James2, does it get to x then? [14:40] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it [14:40] avernos: i don't think empathy will be success. forget it. download a deb from qq.com. or try the webqq [14:40] i *think* its waiting for my raid array to become available, and giving me the choice os S to skip, M for manual recovery [14:40] but i cant read it, pressins S doe let the boot continute [14:40] and then i get a normal screen [14:41] Whatsup all [14:41] whatever stage its at, X isnt runing, neither is ssh [14:41] v_v, from those, which one you recomend me? have you tried the .deb qq? [14:41] James2, disable quiet and splash in grub [14:41] Can someone please recommend a linux distro that will work well with my ATI 4350 HD ? === e-anima is now known as e-anima_afk [14:41] Philwong, ubuntu isnt working? [14:42] philwong: what have you tried? [14:42] avernos: deb is good [14:42] ok, ty ^^ [14:42] Well both mint and ubuntu don't seem to handle it very well [14:42] with ubuntu I try and install the recommended drivers and it just wont start agin [14:43] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it [14:43] With mint.. the performance is too choppy (although it got better results that ubuntu) [14:43] ok with quiet,splash removed from /etc/default/grub, and grub-mkconfig run [14:43] it does exactly the same thing :S [14:43] Just to make sure: There is no "Custom Installation" option in 11.04 right? To select which packages you want and don't want... [14:43] is verbose a valid option in grub? [14:44] last time when i uninstall win 7 i also lost my ubuntu desktop can anyone help me that how i install grub in a safe area [14:44] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it [14:44] i even cant start in the recovery mode it gets black as well [14:44] Hey guys, I just installed Firefox 4.x for ubuntu (it wasn't in the repo's) and now whenever I start firefox it opens to a blank tab even though I have it set to open to my homepage. I toggled the option back and forth and restarted Firefox and it still has the issue. Any ideas? [14:44] James2, its sudo update-grub after changing /etc/default/grub [14:45] mac_: Were you using wubi? [14:45] how can i demonstraeopengl? [14:45] ok try again :P [14:45] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it [14:46] !grub | mac_ [14:46] mac_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [14:46] is /etc/default/grub the right place to be removing the splash/quiet options? [14:46] ah yes :P [14:46] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it on 11.04 [14:46] anyone have a suggestion for a package while will encrypt a file during a copy? Or some other way to encrypt files on "their way to the cloud"? [14:47] rsync over ssh? [14:47] James2, that will encrypt the traffic right, but not the end result [14:47] yes [14:47] grated, my question wasn't very clear :) [14:47] i have a dell inspiron mini 10 with b-com chipset and need driver how do get it on 11.04 === latex_ponygirl is now known as lint [14:48] looking for something to encrypt the files in their final state === lint is now known as lint6 [14:48] SpaceBass, ssh perhaps [14:48] rsync --options...... -e 'ssh --options.......' /path/to/src/ user@dest:/path/to/dest/ [14:48] ssh will encrypt files? new to me? I'll check the man pages, thanks [14:48] or without the trailing /'s if its a single file not a folder [14:48] SpaceBass: maybe ecryptfs on top of nfs? [14:49] ssh doesnt encrypt the files [14:49] wk32147, do a google search for a linx driver for your network chip [14:49] frostschutz, ahhh that sounds like the ticket, thanks [14:49] !ssh [14:49] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [14:49] which linux distro is the best on driver support [14:49] ssh encrypts the connection between your rsync source and destination [14:49] !best | Philwong [14:49] Philwong: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:49] Philwong: And Linux is the kernel shared by all of them so... most of them? [14:50] I duno [14:50] I sued mint and it performed better than ubuntu [14:50] used [14:50] SpaceBass: tbh sounds like you want both solutions, or your files are being transmitted in the clear, and only encrypted one they reach the target [14:50] same hardware [14:50] James2, ithat's what he asked [14:51] James2, the transport I'm using is already secure (either ssh, https webdav or dropbox) ? don't know the exact terminology but essentially looking for a cypher to push files through on their way out of my box so they arrive scrambled [14:52] Any guess's on why my ubuntu install freezes when it asks to select a keyboard ladyout [14:52] 10.04.2 LTS [14:53] too any usb? [14:53] ugh! everything for new ubuntu box arrives today EXCEPT processor? going to be hard to be patient for that [14:55] <_sd325> how can i get the = sign in the boot menue?? i can't find it [14:55] Is there any alternative to Gwibber, I need a microbloggin client for Google Buzz and Twitter [14:55] <_sd325> wanna set a new kernel option evalator=cfg [14:56] boomboorum, for CLI? theres bti [14:56] boomboorum, for gui there are tons? air clients are prolific, tweet deck and seesmic come to mind [14:57] any one here know a goog how for dovecot+sieve [14:57] good* [14:57] SpaceBass: I would love to have something like gwibber (all in one + simple interface). I really like gwibber, but it is just not working anymore [14:58] boomboorum, tweet deck might be the ticket, covers most major SM networks. Although the interface isn't as simple as gwibber [14:59] Hey guys, I just installed Firefox 4.x for ubuntu (it wasn't in the repo's) and now whenever I start firefox it opens to a blank tab even though I have it set to open to my homepage. I toggled the option back and forth and restarted Firefox and it still has the issue. Any ideas? [14:59] I need help with mod_auth_mysql [14:59] P|xelated, you might find and delete the rc or prefs file? not sure where it is, just a though [15:00] Does anyone know a good site/channel/anything to help setup fiber channel multipath on ubuntu? [15:01] SpaceBass: well i upgraded over 3.1 so it could be a prefs file I suppose, but everything transferred over correctly, including history and bookmarks, and my old version was set to open homepage [15:01] sex [15:01] jok3er: keep it on topic [15:01] hi there. I have just bought my girlfriend a laptop, and installed Ubuntu for her. She knows nothing about computers, and I want to be able to access her computer via remote access to fix any problems she has / install software, etc. How can I do this over the internet? [15:02] P|xelated, wish I had some better advice ? I'm a chrome user and, knock on wood, haven't had to trouble shoot much with firefox lately [15:02] leman_Russ: I find teamviewer a good program === Guest85405 is now known as tilted [15:02] herby_trax: it's good but not free [15:03] xuru, what I have found on google doesnt look promising using this string ubuntu set up fiber channel mutipath [15:03] SpaceBass: seems a lot of people are using chrome lately, including my brother and geek co-worker so perhaps I should switch over, but initially when I used it when it was beta for linux it couldn't play flash correctly [15:03] v_v, it says Wrong architecture 'i386', is there any other way to get the .deb working? [15:03] Leman_Russ: what you need is windows, not ubuntu. :) [15:03] I run teamviewer free [15:03] Leman_Russ, Have you looked into "Remote Desktop"? [15:03] Leman_Russ, look into VNC - you'll have to open ports on your router, may be more preferable to tunnel via SSH for security reasons [15:03] coz_: yeah, I found google to be almost useless [15:03] avernos: i guess your system is amd64. the package is for i386 [15:03] Thanks for the response guys. I just want a built in, simple solution. [15:03] xuru, not sure which other channle could be of help,, unless maybe ##linux channel [15:03] The simpler the better [15:03] Leman_Russ: vnc [15:03] v_v, so im stuck with the web version? [15:04] coz_: ok, I'll ask there too. Thanks [15:04] avernos: install the i386 libs, and you can run i386 programs [15:04] Leman_Russ, Works great on a LAN; never tried it on WAN. [15:04] P|xelated, humm haven't tried flash lately on linux, all my linux boxes are sans X? I'll have to test it ? find Chrome very stable on OSX [15:04] Thanks guys, I will look into it. [15:04] hi! can anyone help me with bug 788138 about plymouth [15:04] Launchpad bug 788138 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "group default.plymouth is broken" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/788138 [15:04] v_v, oh, i had no idea i could do that [15:04] Probably simple stuff for you Gods Of Linux, but a little complex for me [15:05] Leman_Russ, yeah, VNC remote access is built in. Only real concern is security [15:05] avernos: play with webqq. it's nice [15:05] hey, my ubuntu 10.4 system is crashed: i cannot start in the normal nor in the recovery mode! It always gives me a black screen [15:05] some one an idea? [15:05] SpaceBass: well it's in the repos so i'll check it out now [15:05] So, say if I am in my house, and she is in her house, I can access her computer and fix stuff? [15:05] is Ubuntu supposed to run faster when the virtualization option in BIOS is turned off? [15:05] GTRsdk: shouldn't matter [15:06] ikonia, would that change anything? [15:06] GTRsdk: not really no, it's really only if you're hosting virtual machines [15:06] Leman_Russ, Check out: http://logmein.com [15:06] avernos: if you really need the deb, install it with dpkg -i --force-architecture qq.deb [15:06] v_v, its cool. but i rather have it outside of the browser. my browser is really unstable (chromium) wont last active for more than few minutes. but having the qq minimiced in notification area is what im looking for [15:06] ikonia, so virtual machines in virtualbox won't work? [15:06] greetings, when booting 11.04, the last startup process says "Starting configure network device [OK]" then if just freezes. This also happens on kubuntu 11.04. [15:06] Leman_Russ, you'll have to be able to reach her computer, you have a few options. 1) open VNC ports on her router. Thats the least secure. 2) open SSH ports on router and tunnel the VNC traffic 3) some sort of VPN, probably most complex to setup but also most flexable [15:06] GTRsdk: no, that's not what I said [15:07] v_v, would that work? without the i386 libraries? [15:07] GTRsdk: if you have that enabled in the bios, it will improve performance of the virtual guests running on that host [15:07] hello all, is there a way to use DD of an ubuntu system that is running ? [15:07] avernos: dpkg -l|grep ia32 [15:07] oh [15:07] avernos: i think the ia32 libs is installed by default [15:07] Leman_Russ, It works with or between linux/windows boxes as it's done through tcp/ip/https [15:07] SpaceBass: Thanks [15:07] Leman_Russ, I'd suggest you look at option 2 ?. ssh is powerful, secure way to connect to remote machines. You'd have to open a port (22 is default) on her router and you'll have to know her IP address (dyndns services can help with that) [15:07] ikonia, thanks for the info [15:07] We are both on Linux [15:08] sorry use DD to back up the system [15:08] v_v, yeah, ur are right.. ok, gonna give it a try :D [15:08] * Sidewinder1 Sighs... [15:08] Leman_Russ, good luck. Not a super complex project, but one that will stretch your linux experience just enough that you'll get a lot of it! [15:08] Hi, i compiled the openssl from source... it nearly works but cannot verify certs... i get --> "20 (unable to get local issuer certificate)"... It looks like openssl don't find the certs... can you help me? [15:08] How mod-auth-mysql works on Ubunut apache2? [15:08] xro: why di dyou compile it from source [15:09] Well, any info I want to get from her, I can get, of course. This is not a malicious exercise; I am just trying to help her, and get her away from f@@king Windoze [15:09] I did many configurations but not work anymore [15:09] ikonia, i need IPv6 support [15:09] Thanks for all your help [15:09] xro: a lot of things depend on that, you may well have broke your system [15:09] Leman_Russ: controll the language [15:09] Oh, one more thing!!! [15:09] xro: openssl should support ipv6 in the ubuntu package [15:09] (sorry) [15:09] Would it matter that her laptop is in a different language to mine [15:09] could you please advice? [15:10] ikonia, i didn't break my system... i compiled it in my home directory beside the ubuntu openssl [15:10] I mean, hers is in Japanese and mine English [15:10] !ask > S0me1 [15:10] S0me1, please see my private message [15:10] xro: fair enough [15:10] Leman_Russ, only matters if you don't speak Japanese :) [15:10] ikonia, and IPv6 isn't supported with s_client in the ubuntu package [15:10] xro: that surprises me a lot [15:10] hey can any one pls help me with some installation process difficulties ?? [15:11] I configure mod-auth-mysql on ubuntu === poweruser is now known as iuser [15:11] but never work anymore [15:11] anurag: just ask the question [15:11] S0me1: did it ever work ?

[15:11] tab [15:11] whenever i install ubuntu first n then windows , windows option never show up when i try to boot my laptop [15:11] Sidewinder1: thanks [15:11] I create virtual host and I wanna keep it secure using mod-auth-mysql with my database table [15:12] ikonia, try a openssl s_client -host ipv6 -port 25 [15:12] Leman_Russ, Welks :-) [15:12] SpaceBass: thanks a lot [15:12] S0me1: did it ever work ? [15:12] ikonia: what do you mean please ? [15:12] S0me1: has it ever worked [15:12] Is there any graphics cache for ubuntu? [15:12] xro: not got a box to test on at the moment [15:12] no [15:12] v_v, nah, isnt working... [15:12] Leman_Russ, my pleasure! good luck [15:12] no? [15:12] SpaceBass: you can let the world know chromium browser (in linux repos) works with flash now, you just have to update your adobe flash from their site [15:12] avernos: any messages ? [15:13] avernos: i have no amd64 now. [15:13] ok I am confused and I thought maybe this place might be able to help but I just installed Ubuntu and its been ages since I ran it, things have changed it seems, but I am trying to get my nvidia display drivers to work and in the additional hardware window it says activated but not in use on the driver I want it to be using, does that mean its not running at all, or what does that mean? [15:13] pls see my question also ?? [15:13] v_v, the same actually, eventho i used the command you gave me, looks like it ignores it [15:13] I followed up these steps http://alimanfoo.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/apache-authentication-and-mysql/ [15:13] ikonia, in fact... it sees that openssl new version dont load /usr/lib/ssl/cert [15:13] P|xelated, woot! Just tested it on my end too :) also had to d/l flash, but once I did, it worked fine! Its a great browser, and if you trust google the syncing is just awesome? keeps all your instances of Chrome across different computers identical [15:13] avernos: the deb cannot be installed ?

[16:26] tic^: thank you, I can do it too [16:26] I mean the exactly command [16:27] beubuntu: So when the grub screen comes up, does it show an option to boot MS Windows? [16:27] BlouBlou: sorry, thought I thought I was helping.... [16:27] usr13, No, there is an option to windows recovery or whatever but...it doesn't work. [16:28] beubuntu, Betcha didn't remove/uninstall wubi, first... [16:28] Sidewinder1, Incorrect, I uninstalled wubi within the wubi installer first.

I got an *.MPG file of 17.4 MB size and I've converted in to avi format with FFMPEG but it has 2.1 MB the quality it's low .... the question it's how can I make it better which application should I use. what you suggest?

[17:06] JediKayaker_: 16GB is much more than necessary, but disk space is so cheap you might as well not risk running out of disk space [17:07] wilhart: coz_ took a break [17:07] why is open office no longer supported? [17:07] gabe-20: What error do you get.. which version of Ubuntu are you running? [17:07] ok [17:07] sam85: I could certainly do that, but I'm asking if upgrading python from 2.6 to 2.7 will really harm my system as the link says [17:07] how do you turn on classic mode in ubuntu 11.04 [17:07] it there no other way? [17:08] engled: thanks for the suggestion. [17:08] !classic | lkgc [17:08] lkgc: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [17:08] gabe-20: you will have them both side by side installed.. so no problem there [17:08] !classic | lkgc [17:08] I'm using 10.10 and when I try to download Ubuntu Tweak from the web-site it says: missing dependency (python 2.7) [17:08] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-19-server: Depends: linux-restricted-modules-common but it is not installable. Why? [17:08] hi, i recently upgraded to 11.04 unity. i've noticed that now when i paste a line of text into my gnome-terminal it slowly spells out each letter of the text instead of pasting it instantly. any ideas how i can fix this? [17:08] gabe-20: no idea, try in virtualbox or google more :) [17:08] gabe-20: If you are worried about the package installer being confused, that isn't gonna happen. Just uninstall python adn go on and install (compile from source) the version you need [17:08] gabe-20: just install "python-all" [17:08] How can I get a CD to play through the headphone socket on the actual CD player? [17:08] Almehdi: should I do that from the terminal? [17:09] FelixB: re ask the question some one new might know something [17:09] gabe-20: Sure.. just "sudo apt-get install python-all" [17:09] Pudabudigada: Should just do it. But that is a hardware issue. [17:09] usr13 What program shoul dI use? [17:09] Pudabudigada: There may be a little thumb-wheel volume control, if so, turn it up. [17:10] need to go [17:10] be back later on [17:10] Almehdi: that didn't work as it says python 2.6 is already installed. I guess the problem is that version 2.7 is not in the repos for 10.10 like it is for 11.04 [17:10] Pudabudigada: Again, it is a hardware issue. [17:10] gabe-20: That could be the case === mang0 is now known as mang0|Dinner [17:11] gabe-20: u can still try the altinstall option [17:11] gabe-20: Do it from a PPA then [17:11] Yo peeps [17:11] Sidewinder1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/758411 [17:11] Ubuntu bug 758411 in Ubuntu Natty "Upgrade from 10.10 to Natty results in system freeze" [High,New] [17:11] Siema [17:11] I hope this is now solved [17:11] Almehdi: pardon my ignorance but what's PPA? [17:11] hello [17:11] usr13, What do you mean by 'hardware issue'? I [17:12] the_drow, That doesn't surprise me in the least. [17:12] hi [17:12] hey I 've following problem: When i try to login, it accepts my account, the screen gets black for a second and than i am back at the login screen,. on the other tty-windows i can login in the console [17:12] I'm trying to install Kubuntu on a old laptop, but it won't get further than the loading screen of Kubuntu, is there any way I can close X on CTRL+alt+F7 and reload it ? [17:12] Sidewinder1: but it works once you restart [17:12] so i'm fine with that [17:12] Pudabudigada: Sorry, but I don't know any other way to say it. [17:12] its 47. ¬¬|° [17:12] usr13, I meant, what sort of hardware issue? [17:12] how would you get a script to run after X and GDM have both started? [17:13] how can i install the very latest build of chromium in ubuntu 10.04? [17:13] does anyone an idea what todo? [17:13] i noticed that jaunty no longer exists under http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ - is that an error or have I missed an announcement on Uranus? [17:13] gabe-20: Its a Personal Package Archive... wait a minute and i get it for you [17:13] the_drow, You'd be amazed at how many folks come here with problems, major problems related to wubi... [17:13] thank you :) [17:13] i mean its 46°C 47°C Laptop temp something to worry about? [17:13] the_drow, If it works for you, that's great! [17:14] we'll know in about 2 hours [17:14] What is the command to shutdown X ? I am currently in another textmode, the normal one is frozen and wont get past the login screen.. [17:14] Pudabudigada: Listening to a Music CD with earphones plugged into the mini-phone port on the CDROM drive is a hardware issue. [17:14] hmmmmm still getting flickering :P [17:15] IIAir_LeoII: No [17:15] Pudabudigada: Is that what you are tyring to do? [17:15] what's the proper way to upgrade from 9.4 to 11.4 from the command line? [17:15] usr13, Yes. [17:15] * Sidewinder1 Thinks the_drow will be back here in 2 hours. :-) [17:15] Sidewinder1: hehe, who knows [17:15] usr13, You mean it requires a specific controller for that function? [17:15] maybe I'll just remove it and perform a clean installation [17:16] everything is under source control here and I don't care about anything else [17:16] hi all [17:16] Pudabudigada: Ok then. It is a hardware issue. If there is a thumb-wheel-volume control on the front of the CDROM drive, make sure it is turned up. Other than that, I have no further advise. [17:16] !eol > Migs [17:16] Migs, please see my private message [17:16] usr13, Ok, well, thanks anyway. [17:16] uh, why are you private messaging me? If you have an answer, post it in the main room. Maybe others have the same problem. [17:17] Pudabudigada: If it does not work, take it up with the CDROM manufacturer. [17:17] the_drow, You said that before; what is "source control?" [17:17] `apt-get -f install` wants to remove my linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-server. I guess this makes sense, since I am running linux 2.6.32, but I see no restricted-modules package for my version. is it safe to remove? [17:17] gabe-20: Do this in terminal.. "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes". (test it.. not sure if it work in Maverick) [17:18] d1gital: uname -a [17:18] Linux vm-ubuntu-dev 2.6.32-31-generic-pae #61-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 8 20:00:13 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux [17:18] Hey everyone, is there an custom install option for 11.04? To make a clean install without the office tools and games... [17:18] usr13, I don't even know where to start to try playing through it, and the drive is probably older than the (ten year old) computer itself! === D34X is now known as Dommer [17:18] I know I can remove them after installing, but not installing them in the first place is even better. [17:18] I use ubuntu as my python programming machine. As a programmer it's always good to be able to revert changes/tag versions/create new branches for new features. Source control softwares do just that. They keep a history of your development and let you perform all kinds of things with it [17:19] Ok, so yesterday I had asked for help on a code with python [17:19] my code, alongside with it's history is available from anywhere around the world [17:19] of [17:19] Dommer: #python [17:19] Pudabudigada: Just try playing it from a music player. [17:19] shit [17:19] the_drow, OIC, thanks. [17:19] I've redone it all, it isn't much but does someone know how to make it a permanent app? [17:19] ylmfos: no swearing please [17:19] wow, I thought this was a family friendly channel [17:19] My bad. [17:20] Pudabudigada: If you want to consistantly listen via the ear-phones, set the music player to autoplay when a music CD is inserted. [17:20] python- unregistered :o [17:20] Almehdi: thank you, I'll try that :) [17:20] usr13, that's what i've been trying, do modern OSs even support those jacks anymore, I haven't seen one on a new drive for years.

[17:21] Dommer: can't? [17:22] Dommer: what does xchat have to do with registering your nick? [17:22] Dommer: how does xchat prevent you from messaging Nickserv to register your nick? [17:22] gabe-20: if it works you should only need install in as normal from Synaptic.. If not add "ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes" through Synaptic instead. [17:22] I dunno, it's just retarded and won't let me :o [17:22] Its my prompt right cause sometimes i cant erase the sudos apts when pressin up arrow getting the history [17:22] usr13, Ah, so is it just wired into th output on the player itself? [17:22] my small tvs have a square spdf but my large tv has a round spdf and output port [17:22] Dommer: -.- [17:22] Dommer: keep the mental disabilities out of it [17:22] Dommer: is it giving you an error or anything? [17:23] Dommer: ubottu sent you a link with easy to follow instructions on setting up your nick [17:23] yeah, but it was a while ago when I tried to register my nick [17:23] Pudabudigada: Far as I know, that is the case. I really don't know for sure, just assume it to be so. Like you, I haven't seen one in a long time. [17:23] Dommer, Perhaps there's already a "Dommer" registered?

[17:26] Hey everyone, is there an custom install option for 11.04? To make a clean install without the office tools and games...

[17:29] anybody: the repositories are moved eventually...a few months after it goes EOL [17:29] anybody, That's correct.

[17:30] Thank You everybody! I will save this page for reference! [17:31] the_drow: if you want to see all the files from a package you've installed: dpkg -L packagename [17:31] it's not a package [17:31] the_drow: and doesn't have an installer of its own? [17:31] I don't know a PPA which provides the latest dojo toolkit [17:31] nope, no need [17:32] lets go seal clubbin in tj [17:32] the_drow: is this a web server thing? [17:32] carnage1: get on topic [17:32] Mathuin_, when I print that particular pdf to the printer it prints garbage, and the same happens when printing to pdf, and I wonder if this is the same for everyone (i.e. it's a problem of that pdf) [17:32] maco: a javascript toolkit [17:32] http://zenhuber.blogspot.com/2011/05/preview-bin-laden-dead-and-loving-it.html "Osama bin Laden is the greatest military and political strategist in human history, bar none." [17:32] right basically i have an old machine, with a half working cd drive, my live cd boots but fails on install, im in the live enviroment now, was basically wondering if its poss to instead of using the cd-rom as a source use the net for source files instead, is that poss [17:32] enriq: works here (cups-pdf) [17:32] ^evidence [17:33] the_drow: possibly someone in #ubuntu-server might know. otherwise, if an old version of it is packaged, look up that package on packages.ubuntu.com and click on the list of files to see where it put them [17:33] Tuxist: i think it is possible with ne [17:33] Tuxist: i think it is possible with unetbootin [17:33] hmmm. llutz would it be to much to ask you to upload the output pdf? [17:33] So is ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso an actual LTS release? [17:33] I'm running a desktop machine, it's a development machine.

I have a text file I created at /bin/cat, and I need to get its content into another file, /dev/sda1. I tried 'sudo man cat /bin/cat | dd /dev/sda1', but it gave error "invalid argument". This makes no sense cuz I passed no arguments. Help! [18:22] coz_, how do you deal with the huge amounts of out of date information? [18:22] somebody can help me?? [18:22] groos: what are you trying to do? [18:22] !ask| gi [18:22] gi i will try are u running widoes 7? [18:22] gi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:22] squig, which outdated info ? [18:23] adamkex: i want to get my list of cat data onto my hard drive, /dev/sda1 [18:24] groos: you will overwrite that partition with weird data if you try something like that [18:24] sorry. question: is there any known bug about high temp on ubuntu 11.04? on 2 laptop (dell and asus) after 10 min work - very hot laptops and they are shutdown [18:25] ?? no i put my text in the file bin but i need it on my hard drive how can i copy it? [18:25] groos: /bin/cat is a program, not a textfile [18:25] squig, not sure guy,, I would have to search this t hrough actually,, have you checked online for this in 11.04 ? [18:25] groos: any textfile you might have created, is already on your harddrive [18:25] oCean, its a troll, don't bother [18:26] groos, /dev/sda is a path to drive partition, rename the destination folder [18:26] ?? no it is a list of info. i dont need a program for it gedit is fine. [18:26] hi, i have a p266MHz, i wanna install xmonad insted of gnome, point me to a good guide pls, my goolefoo cany work. [18:26] Hi, I am trying to upgrade to Natty and stuck to a problem with calculating the changes. Anyone can he lp? [18:27] groos: don't be silly, and don't ignore the answers you get [18:27] Almehdi: it only says: PythonV2.7 [18:27] groos: you use "cp" to copy [18:28] MeglaW: i'd install the minimal OS then install what you desire. [18:28] groos: type man cp to find out how to use it [18:28] hi, do i get updated copies of my packages if i upgrade?? [18:28] Juest: most likely yes [18:28] ah [18:28] Juest, after upgrading you can run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:29] gi: looks like no one knows. I would have liked to hear the answer on you overheating issue. [18:29] i got 10.10 and i have troubles with hicolor-icon-theme [18:29] Juest, apt-get dist-upgrade will be able to remove packages in favor of other, higher priority packages. Both use the package manager so they both use package dependencies. [18:29] gi, whats overheating? [18:30] does the upgrade solves my hicolor iusse? [18:30] Juest: what troubles? [18:30] i can't even start gnome properly [18:31] Juest: does it affect all users? [18:31] hi guys. is anyone here still on 10.10? [18:31] ActionParsnip, yeah, is system wide and i got root login [18:31] also [18:31] Juest: why? [18:31] is there a way to make plymouth appear sooner on shutdown. I dont care if dbus is disconnected from system bus or if all ttys were killed by the TERM signal. I just want the X go away and then have my shutdown screen :) [18:32] does every user gets migrated? [18:32] ScorpKing: many are [18:32] but since this has been there for ages, I dont think this will ever going to be possible/fixed unless Wayland comes or so [18:32] Almehdi: I got it... I followed these steps: http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads and it worked beautifully :) [18:32] thanks a lot for your help :) [18:32] is there a way to use a winmodem in ubuntu? [18:32] ActionParsnip: i'm looking for the md5sum of /usr/bin/sudo and a few other bins on 10.10 [18:33] BajK, try login and then run sudo halt [18:33] Juest: and then? [18:33] Juest: make a new user and test. Root login is not supported, advised or necessary [18:33] ScorpKing: Are you not able to download the packages and check? [18:33] nothing, it shutdowns [18:33] ScorpKing: you should add your architecture as well, because the sums will be different for 32/64bit. or you could download the .deb and verify the files yourself... [18:33] anyone found a fix or workaround for the nm-applet mem leak? looks like there are a lot of bug rports but I havent seen a solution so far [18:34] ScorpKing: /var/lib/dpkg/info/.md5sums has them [18:34] ok thanks guys. didn't think of that. will have a look [18:34] Why can't I use the command "unrar e *.rar" to extract all archived files in the folder I'm in? [18:34] ScorpKing: download the deb for each file and extract it. You can do it yourself then :-) [18:34] Anyone know a way to separate a file consisting of two PDFs and a PPT? I was trying to move the files to another directory, unfortunately it didn't exist so now the files are concatenated into a single file. [18:35] Phox: does unp allow globbing? [18:35] phox_: since unrar won't accept the expanded * from shell. use for foo in *.rar; do unrar e $foo; done [18:35] ActionParsnip, well i got an extra user :) but i use root for mosy [18:35] most* [18:36] Ìû [18:36] Juest: then you have drastically reduced system security. Congrats [18:36] ActionParsnip: Are you referring to the link I posted earlier? And anyways, I don't know what globbing is... [18:36] can a thinclient connect to a ubuntu install? [18:37] well. froget about the root user [18:37] just tell me if hicolor gets solved by upgradibg [18:37] upgrading [18:37] Phox: using the * in commands is globbing. Install unp, see if it does it. [18:38] Juest: no. I don't support people who enable the root account. [18:39] Speaking of downloading packages.. Is there any way to use apt-get inst the same way you would "aptitude doesnload" without the need for authentication? [18:39] hey is there a way to use x forwading but when i close the ssh connection like i wanna use xchat over ssh but when i close putty i dont want that program to stop === soyo is now known as Guest70333 [18:39] llutz: Thank, but that didn't quite do the trick. It extracts the file from the first archive, but the archives are like "part1", "part2" and so on. So then I have to press no like 10 times, that I don't want to replace the file. Hope you understand! [18:39] hi, If I have a .deb file what's the easiet way to install it an all its dependencies? [18:39] ActionParsnip, ok, i leave root user by side, just think i have root disabled :) [18:39] Actionparsnip: Yes, I have checked out unp, but I have the same problem as I just described to llutz, see a few lines up. [18:40] is there somewhere a list with all stock icons for appindicators? [18:40] Giles: sudo dpkg -i file; sudo apt-get -f install [18:40] hallo [18:40] Juest: no [18:40] is anyone here [18:40] yes [18:41] Phox: then you will need the bash code given earlier [18:41] bernd_: no we all died [18:41] 'for file in *.rar; do unrar -e $file; done' or something? [18:41] Ìû [18:41] ActionParsnip: ta [18:41] what config file is a user's default shell in? (ubuntu/classic/etc) [18:41] Giles: np :) [18:42] nivardus: /etc/passwd [18:42] nivardus: oh wait the other shell [18:42] Actionparsnip: I executed the one given to me by llutz, but then I got the problem with it wanting to replace the file and stuff.. Or what do you mean? [18:42] ActionParsnip: I just found that on google too, but... it's a bit silly that it tells you that it couldn't find the dependencies, and then you have to "fix" them... [18:42] nivardus: nevermind. i dont know. [18:42] Doonz: vnc [18:42] why not?, i just came for some upgrading help [18:43] Could someone please point me to a guide on how to set postfix in Ubuntu to be able to send email to any domain from localhost?

[18:43] I can't seem to find one that works well for what I'm trying to do [18:43] nivardus: ~/.dmrc I believe [18:43] ActionParsnip: Folks who use spaces in filenames deserve the surprises they get. :-P :-) [18:43] ich rufe zum krieg der penise auf [18:43] um...

[18:48] nivardus: yes, I had the same thought, time to experiment [18:48] hypatia: on the bright side, when your battery reaches critical it should suspend cleanly so you will get as much time as possible done on installing. [18:48] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? I have nautilus [18:49] Mathuin_: true :) [18:49] i'm also worried about it heating up in my bag [18:49] ka1ser: add my 2nd lot of text [18:49] hallo [18:49] I've done it a number of times and haven't had any trouble -- both SSD-based and hard-drive-based laptops.

I had an issue with my hard disk... fixed it with fsck and the next time I log in I started to see the desktop differently [18:50] ActionParsnip: so it is just a nautilus config? [18:50] celthunder: /etc/apache2/sites-available/ is a directory containing two files of November 2010: default, default-ssl. Which one do you mean?

[18:51] hey, I've just mounted a new hard drive in ubuntu 11.04 and I'd like to move my home directory, I imagine there's a bit more to it that just moving the folder [18:51] Mathuin_: i'm in toronto, it's pretty safe :) [18:51] i think i'll just risk suspending it, though [18:51] Then do that and watch the install.

I've got 0 files on there right now [18:57] yes [18:57] Mene-Mene: "." is the same as "source". [18:57] fdf [18:57] ". .bashrc" is the same as "source .bashrc" for instance. [18:58] OOOH! Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. [18:58] No problem! [18:58] celthunder: : You said: "copy the file previously mentioned there". What file do you mean by "the file previosly mentioned"? [18:58] i keep getting denied the ability to rm or chmod a few files even as root (via sudo). what do i do? [18:58] Broseph: ? yes cp the files from /etc/skel to your directory...mount it on /home or if yo uwant to keep it media/data/username then change it in /etc/passwd or use useradd to make a completely new user [18:58] p0lar_bear: what is the error message you are getting? [18:59] tired to do chown? [18:59] bullgard4: /etc/phpmyadmin/apache or whatever it's called [18:59] p0lar_bear: Please give the exact error message. [18:59] Generally speaking ... Ubuntu server - PC or 64-bit version? Do the other LAMP applications officially support 64-bit? Or should I stick with the 32-bit? [19:00] it seems i can't do anything to them. rm and chmod both tell me "Operation not permitted" on all the files [19:00] p0lar_bear: what files do they exist? what arguemtns are you passing to rm or chmod [19:00] moonlight/silverlight [19:00] JediKayaker: go for 64 bit...stop supporting the past [19:00] JediKayaker: i sell hosting /vps's / etc...most of them run lamp all of them run just fine [19:01] and no, i can't chown them to myself. [19:01] in Natty, what applications mounts an ipod automagically? [19:01] er, application [19:01] celthunder: I previously mentioned 2 files: /etc/apache2/sites-available//default and /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl. Which one do you mean? [19:01] bullgard4: the one i just said [19:02] celthunder: Your message is of no help if you are not specific. [19:02] celthunder: thanks! What would have been your biggest issue on 64-bit? If any? [19:02] hello, i keep getting segfaults all the time with random applications after a while of booting up, what should i do ? [19:02] little background, i was following this tutorial in an attempt to chroot apache, adapting the directories given in the tutorial to the ubuntu/debian package of apache: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/36331 [19:03] JediKayaker: none? i did have t install the 32 bit libraries for one person but they were running a vnc and using flash and didn't want a chroot. [19:03] i think my cola is powdered [19:03] bullgard4: one minute i'll type out step0 to done in one line for you [19:03] celthunder: Thanks Again. [19:03] long story short, it didn't work so i'm getting rid of the copies. the files that're getting left behind are the two logfiles in /chroot/httpd/var/log/apache2, and the files i copied from /etc [19:03] celthunder: Ok. [19:05] hey, where do i go to make the window buttons on the right? [19:05] !controls [19:05] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 [19:06] hello [19:06] Bennis: there are thousands of guides for that. Did you not websearch any? [19:07] anyone got any ideas as to my issue with files I just can't access? do i need to repost the info? [19:07] bullgard4: if you don't want to make a new site for it just add this line Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf to /etc/apache/sites-available/default or default-ssl if you want it through ssl (recommended) if yo uwanted it on a different hostname or something cp default file or default-ssl and modify the hostname part to whatver domain you wanted phpmyadmin to respond on...make sense? [19:07] what is the command to see which .so's a process has loaded? pf_load or something? [19:07] p0lar_bear: please. Wassup? [19:07] I want to know what gnome-setting-daemon does and with what kind of command... which file should i open with gedit to see those commands?

[19:08] davis, not sure what .so's are but is it htop [19:09] i got it [19:09] pmap [19:09] you could also ldd the binary [19:09] nit-wit: they are shared libraries used by apps to work [19:09] if you know where it is, that is [19:10] Hello everyone. Here's my story, help would be very appreciated. I'm trying to install Natty on a Toshiba Satellite A60 for a friend. It's way faster than with 10.04 but has compatibility issues. I can't boot normally, fast scrolling text shows and the machine finally reboot. Need to boot with "acpi=off" which disables USB support. I tried downgrading to Lucid's Kernel 2.6.32 but it's extremely slow now. I think I tried everythi [19:10] ng, anyone can help ? Thanks. [19:10] does nutty natter have a green Azenis theme? [19:10] p0lar_bear: i don't have any experience of that stuff dude, others may or try a little later, sorry [19:10] ActionParsnip, thanks it igood to know.;) [19:10] &it's [19:11] !themes > carnage1 [19:11] carnage1, please see my private message [19:11] ActionParsnip: no idea as to why chmod and rm keep throwing "Operation not permitted?" sorry, my thinking is disjointed as hell :x [19:12] Narc: do you have the latest bios, it may have acpi based fixes. Are there bugs reported? === tim__ is now known as mit [19:12] p0lar_bear: rm -rf them ? f should be force [19:12] p0lar_bear: could apache still have those files open? [19:12] can anyone help me with my pc, i reset my bios cause it wasnt showing both harddrives i had, i had a 250 gig with 2 OS's windows 7 and ubuntu... now i am stuck with a very old version of ubuntu [19:12] Narc: Have you tried anything else than Unity and Compiz on 11.04? I bet it is Compiz that hogs the system. [19:12] i am trying to get the update, i have 10 different iso's of ubuntu [19:13] Mathuin_: nope. i ran sudo killall apache2 and sudo killall httpd [19:13] but now it is sayin i need a bios update or something [19:13] though there could be something else, i dunno. lemme check; is lsof the tool for that? [19:13] lsof would work. [19:13] i do not know how to get my bios uptodate, i do not have a floppy drive [19:14] Narc: Have you checked "gedit ~/.xsession-errors" for faults? [19:14] Alternatively, using 'sudo -s' to get a root shell, then 'rm -rf /chroot/whatever/badness' may push it along. [19:14] ubuser: did you configure the BIOS after resetting it? [19:14] ActionParsnip: There's a bug reported on launchpad, which seems very similar. About flashing the BIOS, it's an old laptop, I'm a bit scared to mess with it. === brandon is now known as bbrandon [19:14] yeah pretty much its accepting 2 gigs of ram now [19:14] i dont know what files i need or whatever on linux [19:15] my windows 7 is gone :( [19:15] Narc: bad BIOS flash can brick your system [19:15] hi guys, how can i go back to ubuntu 10.10 style menu [19:15] i hate the new 11.04 menu === CyrusB_1 is now known as CyrusB [19:15] i want the classic menu [19:15] bullgard4: any luck [19:15] i cant install any ubuntu [19:15] please help [19:15] ubuser: boot to live cd and reinstate grub2 [19:15] !classic [19:15] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. [19:15] ubuser: weren't yo uin the the other night [19:15] phong_: ^^ see ubottu [19:15] Mathuin_: those files aren't open, lsof | grep chroot only shows my cwd open in bash, lsof, and grep. lemme try that su shell [19:15] Almehdi: Ubuntu boots without Unity support. Probably because the ATI Radeon is not supported. [19:16] yes. i still havnt fixed anything [19:16] How long until the classic interface is no longer supported? [19:16] im stuck with this bs [19:16] ok === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:16] Almehdi: I'll try this, thanks. [19:16] Mathuin_: when gtk based libraries update to gtk3 and break gtk2 [19:16] Phong: use classic and the unity bar won't show up. [19:16] celthunder: http://pastebin.com/c2MNrCbX contains 948 bytes. On what line should I insert the line »/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf«? [19:16] i just want to reload with 11.04 [19:16] i tried both 64 and 32 on 10 and the mini' [19:16] ActionParsnip: I know, that's why I'm reluctant, plus I don't even know if there's an update available. [19:16] s [19:16] celthunder: good to know. Unity better grow on me by then, or I'll cry. :-) [19:16] Mathuin_: no dice on a root shell, STILL operation not permitted. [19:17] ubuser, do you have a cd drive? [19:17] wtf did I do to my directory tree?! D: [19:17] p0lar_bear: boot single-user and kill it from there? [19:17] yes, i have 2 cdrws and i tried all of them [19:17] can anyone tell me how to enable conpiz in openbox ? [19:17] i think its sayin i need a bios update.. [19:17] Mathuin_: how do I do that?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:18] Narc: I am having ATI (R580) and have no problems... i am using Gnome-shell however [19:18] !rescue [19:18] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [19:18] can anyone tell me how to enable conpiz in openbox ? [19:18] p0lar_bear: chattr -i /chroot/.... <- all those files you "chattr +i " before [19:19] p0lar_bear: if you have an install CD for your current version, reboot into rescue mode that way. Alternatively, interrupt your boot by holding down ESC or SHIFT depending on what grub version you have. [19:19] ubuser: if you reinstate grub2 you will get the dual boot back [19:19] ... or do what llutz said. I forgot about chattr. *doh* [19:19] llutz: son of a b- brb [19:19] bullgard4: http://pastebin.com/YHjyvMpJ there exactly as i did it (you can use that if yo uwant) [19:19] Almehdi: It's an old ATI chipset, Radeon IGP 7000, it's not even supported by the proprietary driver. From what I read. [19:20] Narc: Maybe trying another version of Plymouth or use Usplash (if that works still). [19:20] Narc: the open driver will support it [19:20] foot-odor: oops sorry i sort of disappeared on you one sec [19:20] llutz, Mathuin_: that did it. excuse me while i repeatedly slam my head on the nearest wall. [19:20] p0lar_bear: following a tut is nice, but next time you should try to find out what you're doing [19:21] Is there any application to get the labels in nautilus (like the ones in Mac OS X)? [19:21] ActionParsnip: It seems, but only with the default 2.6.38-8 kernel on Natty, because with the downgraded Kernel, everything is very slow [19:21] 10.xx was a fail [19:21] Flash, windows, etc [19:21] Narc: Mine is also fairly old.. like 5 years. The proper name is Radeon 1950 Pro. Are you sure it is not supported in the open Radeon driver? [19:21] p0lar_bear: glad we could help. :-) [19:21] xskydevilx: how do you mean 'label' [19:21] foot-odor: exec ck-launch-session ccsm openbox in .xinitrc? [19:21] llutz: I get the concept behind chroot jails. it's just that the debian package of apache uses like three scripts to launch httpd or something [19:22] Almehdi: I'm not sure, as I said I think it's supported by the newer kernel [19:22] i don't use .xinitrc [19:22] ActionParsnip: Here's a picture as an example: http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/FinderLabel.jpg [19:22] i use gdm to start the session [19:22] as for the uninstall, i just overlooked the immutable flag. derp.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:22] ubuser: 10.04 will still be supported after Natty dies. Its rock solid [19:23] foot-odor: then modify gdm's .Desktop file for openbox to launch ccsm...works the same way? [19:23] p0lar_bear: next time you know where to look ;) [19:23] celthunder, ccsm is the compiz thing? [19:23] xskydevilx: loading (slowly) [19:23] Narc: How much RAM does it have? [19:23] foot-odor: ccsm is the compiz manager yes (or it should be) [19:23] thanks [19:24] celthunder, what is it set to, normal or extra (gnome session) ? [19:24] xskydevilx: nautilus shows mounted volumes on desktop by default [19:24] what is the earliest version i should download [19:24] Almehdi: I'm not sure, about 512, not much. [19:25] celthunder: I have inserted this line. When does it becom edective? [19:25] celthunder: I have inserted this line. When does it become edective? [19:25] Narc: That is your problem... Unity would be to heavy [19:25] ubuser: lucid is the earliest release still supported [19:25] bullgard4: a2ensite default then /etc/init.d/apache2 restart it'll be effective [19:25] ActionParsnip: That's not what I meant. I meant something like this: http://gigapple.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/colorlabels.png?w=213&h=118 [19:25] foot-odor: sorry it's not ccsm it's literally compiz ccp [19:25] im going to try to load an earlier version i tried both 11.04 minis, and 10.04's and 11.04s [19:25] foot-odor: sorry about that ccsm is the settings manager [19:26] Almehdi: But why being slow only with the downgraded kernel, not the default newer one ? [19:26] ubuser: on desktop anyway. Maverick and Natty are also supported [19:26] hi [19:26] celthunder, so ccp starts compiz? [19:26] how can i add a new user in terminal? [19:26] should i try kubuntu or one of those?? [19:26] celthunder: I do not understand your word "a2ensite". Please explain. [19:26] Jackneill: sudo adduser [19:26] thanks [19:27] xskydevilx: not sure. I see what you mean though. [19:27] bullgard4: lit's a command [19:27] it's* === nick_ is now known as botenza [19:27] Almehdi: It's very fast with the default install, in classic mode. Problem is, acpi=off disables USB completely. [19:27] bullgard4: it's a command type it "a2ensite default;/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" if you wantit in one line [19:27] what are mav and natty? [19:28] ubuser: sure. You can install an alternate DE if you desire. Log off and log i [19:28] ActionParsnip: Oh, and BTW, do you maybe know how to get the Enhanced Zoom in Compiz that was on default in Maverick? [19:28] ubuser, how old are you? [19:28] Into it [19:28] i meant what year [19:28] how can i logout and login into my new user? [19:28] foot-odor: idon't use compiz...i hate it...what i gave you is how you start other wm's within a current one though [19:28] i hope they work man, 1 gig a piece [19:28] takin forever [19:28] <_numbers> ubuntu is not detecting my orico JBOD 4x 2TB RAID5 drive. but my BIOS and Win7 recognize it as a usb disk of 5.5TB in size [19:28] sorry for my dummy question.. [19:28] 22 [19:28] xskydevilx: it will be in ccsm someplace [19:29] celthunder, it's not for me, it's for my girlfriend [19:29] ubuser: lxde is nowhere near 1gb [19:29] celthunder: '~$ a2ensite default; Site default already enabled' [19:29] how to get evolution to work with hotmail?, every guide i tried has failed so far [19:29] bullgard4: good then just do the restart of apache [19:29] Narc: Classic mode does not use as much RAM. If i remember right normal Unity used about 500 without any additional apps running. [19:29] ubuser, moths or years? [19:29] stupid question but i can't seem to figure it out - how do i get to a grub menu/command line in natty? i screwed up and left one of my VMs unbootable and it never shows a boot menu [19:29] *months [19:30] 11.04 = 700 megs, almost a gig [19:30] ubuser, ;) === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [19:30] Narc: Seams like your problem is Plymouth or possibly ureadahead [19:30] ubuser: if you installed kubuntu-desktop then that's why its a gig [19:30] ubuser: the entire install of linux with reasonable amount of usable stuff is like 1gb total [19:30] Almehdi: I had a warning on first boot that my hardware wasn't capable of running full unity, so, it boots on classic mode. [19:31] ubuser: aka you could load your entire install in ram [19:31] change gtk controls [19:31] i have tried them, where can i get a 9.10 iso [19:31] Ubuser: why not just install kde on the current OS? [19:31] ActionParsnip: he was running version 5.0 or something [19:31] celthunder, my gf said there's no ccp, just ccsm [19:31] <_numbers> here is the dmesg log. http://pastebin.com/Te5e3bqq why wouldn't ubuntu work with a jbod array of 4 disks over usb 3.0? [19:31] Almehdi: Oh, really... How do I investigate this ? Thanks for your help by the way. [19:31] celthunder: yikes === D34X is now known as Dommer [19:32] Narc: Classical or Unity2d should probably not be a problem with 512 megs of ram. It doesn't need 3d acceleration either [19:32] ActionParsnip: he also refused to take advice and just keeps complaining....have fun [19:32] what the website [19:32] Narc: As long as you keep away from compiz i think it should be okay [19:32] !download [19:32] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[19:33] foot-odor: here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz#As_a_Standalone_Window_Manager modify the .xinitrc to the gdm .Desktop file and theoretically everything should translate [19:34] Narc: Also Boot Chart could be helpful [19:34] celthunder: But '~$ ~$ phpmyadmin; phpmyadmin: command not found'. How can I start phpMyAdmin? [19:34] bullgard4: It's a front end yo uaccess it through http....

[19:35] celthunder, i tried installing slim, but i failed, ubuntu just hanged at boot [19:35] Almehdi: I did check dmesg and found messages with various boot options to add, like "pnpbios=off" or something like this, I tried a dozen combination of boot options to no avail. [19:35] ended up removing ubuntu :) [19:36] celthunder, gave up on life [19:36] foot-odor: lol i'm on archlinux i just idle here to randomly help people when bored [19:36] Narc: Is it very important to have graphical boot?

[19:44] qin: when I " leafpad /usr/bin/leafpad" it shows me tiny information.. 3 alphabets, and 4 rectangular containing 4 digits... I think it's too small data to run even simple notepad... do you know why this is? [19:44] Almehdi: I did check syslog, but I didn't know what to look for. It's not readable, scrolls too fast, only numbers on the sides. I took a picture and the only words that I can read are "spurious_fault" and some memory addresses... [19:44] easybcd works bro [19:45] anyone able to point me in the right direction for a working guide hotmail thru Evolution? tried every guide i can find [19:45] Almehdi: I mean, the messages at boot scrolls too fast, not syslog :D [19:45] Narc: If you can't see it you could first try a boot without acpi=off and then with acpi=off.. then "gedit /var/log/syslog" to see the log [19:45] ! who | ubuser; [19:45] ubuser;: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I did check syslog but my opinion was that since boot hangs and crash, nothing is actually written in syslog. Just a thought. [19:47] llutz: when i download any programs, do i download only binaries? not actual source code? or do I download source code file and something like compiler in my OS translate them for CPU? [19:47] Narc: Syslog is started first in the boot process so there is probably something there [19:47] join #ubuntu.fr [19:47] jeand_: /join #ubuntu-fr [19:48] eb3ha4el: when you install packages from the software center, they generally are binaries [19:48] Almehdi: Ok then. :) [19:48] eb3ha4el: You do try to aviod "downloading" software in Ubuntu === nixNcode is now known as nNc [19:48] tensorpudding: what about in windows then? [19:48] qin: What do you mean? [19:48] the same thing [19:48] tensorpudding: thanks [19:48] eb3ha4el: you should install packages, which usually contain precompiled binaries. you also could download sources, to modify them and compile/build new packages later [19:49] a .exe file is a binary executable [19:49] hi all [19:49] I'm using a Dell Vostro 3700 and when my screen dims if flashes back to full brightness so the whole screen flickers while it's dimming as if something is trying to force it to full brightness, does anyone know why this is?

[19:49] qin: oh i understand thanks [19:49] do you know how to log shutdown procedure to understand where i got an error that doesn't poweroff my machine? [19:50] eb3ha4el: usually you also get a bunch of dynamically-linked libraries, which are .dll files in windows or .so files in linux [19:50] bergLNX did you try the f12 at p[owering on. [19:50] So is there anyone that has advice for me? [19:50] bergLNX: Change your boot priority to prioritize USB over Harddrive [19:50] eb3ha4el: but windows usually puts all the libraries in the same directory as the program; linux puts binaries in one directory, libraries in another [19:50] Does anyone know what is causing my screen flickering issue? [19:51] kwikshot: nit-wit: I am booting from the USB device, no doubt, but I still end up at the GRUB from my disk [19:51] Almehdi: There's a bug on launchpad describing it : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759094 [19:51] Ubuntu bug 759094 in linux (Ubuntu) "Linux 2.6.38-8-generic doesn't boot on Toshiba Satellite A60" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:51] tensorpudding: i don't know what is libraries, but do linux puts binaries in bin? is that right?

[19:53] kwikshot: nit-wit Im using a Lenovo laptop, and I did press F12, and it tells me Im loading the USB drive, it reads Ubuntu and all that, and then I end up at my local GRUB [19:53] kwikshot, could be but I see a lot of boot from other then the HD fail but the gui mention works [19:53] bergLNX: What did you make it with? Just copying the files over? [19:53] bergLNX, are you using a usb or a cd [19:54] nit-wit: He's using USB [19:54] is there anyone using smoothwall or ipcop? [19:54] kwikshot, thanks good question on the loading method.;) [19:54] I have a start-up script that runs that depends on some environment variables, which I put in a .sh file in /etc/profile.d/ It seems that the script in profile.d is not sourced in the start-up process. How can I fix this? [19:54] bergLNX: Just out of curiousity, why do you want to install ubuntu? [19:55] areels, I have used both previously, currently prefer PFsense [19:55] Is it me or is there too many people in this channel? [19:55] kwikshot: nit-wit Using win32diskimager, and creating a bootable USB... worked for Arch before... [19:55] bergLNX, use unetbootin [19:55] SpaceBass pfsense had no url filtering or proxying capability if i remember correct [19:55] bergLNX: Have you done an MD5sum check of the ISO? [19:55] kwikshot: Just temp for the weekend, dont have a working Arch and need Ubuntu to play music and stuff :) [19:55] or something was missing, i don't know [19:56] areels, you can add proxy and filtering plugins - but they do take a minimalist stance on things [19:56] bergLNX: I would also advise unetbootin as nit-wit suggested [19:56] right, that's what i didn't want to deal with SpaceBass, i like things that are as simple as possible [19:56] bergLNX: What version of ubuntu? [19:56] kwikshot: nit-wit Yeah it might be the USB creator who messes up [19:57] I ask again, Can anyone give me assistance with installing the 64-bit Flash Player Plugin? [19:57] Let me try that unetbootin [19:57] qin: Newest [19:57] hi guys :D === mjuksel is now known as Mjuksel [19:57] JoeR1 who needs flash, don't install it [19:57] !hi Mjuksel [19:57] bergLNX: I think it's either your USB creator or the ISO integrity [19:57] areels - not an option, I need it [19:57] hi :) ! [19:57] i have a question [19:58] bergLNX: Then native ubuntu disk creator (run from liveCD) have more chances than unetbootin. [19:58] areels, not trying to sell you on it :) whats your IPcop question? [19:58] Mjuksel: Yes? [19:58] SpaceBass is it possible to install smoothwall behind or front of sonicwall? i have sonicwall with expired url filter licence [19:58] anyone familiar with USB Wifi sticks on Ubuntu ? [19:58] Narc: A guy in the bug report said that using the xorg-edgers solves the problem.. have you tried that? [19:58] i have a Linksys (Cisco) 300n stick, but my internet is very slow [19:58] Really, not one person has an answer for me? [19:58] bergLNX: Do you not have any DVDs? As a last resort? [19:59] kwikshot: No :( [19:59] it says 150Mb/s but even youtube 240p songs lag as hell :( [19:59] Mjuksel, do you need to confirm if one is compatible? [19:59] I have a start-up script that runs that depends on some environment variables, which I put in a .sh file in /etc/profile.d/ It seems that the script in profile.d is not sourced in the start-up process. How can I fix this? [19:59] kwikshot: New place, havent moved 100% yet :P [19:59] JoeR1: Just keep posting if no one listens, I miss a lot of stuff that scrolls past [19:59] bergLNX: Ahh ok [19:59] areels, sure you can double stack routers fairly easier? begs the question tho, if you are only interest in IPcop or Smoothie for filtering, why not just build a standalone squirt box [19:59] kwikshot - I have been, but I must admit it gets a bit frustrating [19:59] Almehdi: I did, with kernel 2.6.39-3. And then the ethernet connection would drop randomly after a while, flooding syslog with "etho link up" lines. I admit I gave up. :D [20:00] JoeR1: have patience, help is not always available. Don't repeat too soon [20:00] JoeR1: I agree, no one has answered my question about my brightness flicker issue yet [20:00] JoeR1: Try asking on /r/ubuntu [20:00] Almehdi: But it did solve the acpi=off issue. [20:00] SpaceBass that's probably because i don't know how to build one, only familiar with clarkconnect, smoothwall, ipcop, endian, pfsense, m0n0wall, etc.., never tried to build a squid box before [20:00] kwikshot - well I have had a lot of experience with video settings perhaps I can help maybe I can help you [20:00] now i wanna fix ubuntu 11.04 [20:01] Narc: Well.. then that is probably the way to go... [20:01] need a good vidocard tho [20:01] Narc: The logs there didn't give much [20:01] JoeR1: I have an Nvidia graphics card [20:01] kwikshot, what is the screen refresh rate at? just out of curiosity [20:02] kwikshot are you using the nvidia driver or the experimental driver? [20:02] areels, all of those router distros are using squid (typo above, not squirt) for the filtering and proxy support? again, not trying to push that solution? just may be cleaner than two routers [20:02] Almehdi: I suppose it's a bug specific to this kernel (Natty's default). [20:02] JoeR1: It only happens when the screen is dimming to go to sleep, and I can't change the brightness, it's as if something is forcing it at 100% [20:02] JoeR1: Proprietary drivers [20:02] areels, on the other hand, if you know IPC and Smoothie, why not replace the sonic wall altogether with one of them? [20:03] kwikshot - so it doesn't actually dim to sleep it just flickers instead? [20:03] @ nit-wit ; it is compatible [20:03] Almehdi: Yes, but what about the network connection ? It's only changing the problem, and it's not a stable Kernel from what I read. [20:03] it works, im on it now.. so yeah :P it works [20:03] Hi friends, can someone explainme what are the lens in Unity??? [20:03] but its just slow.. [20:03] i have dual core + 4gb ram + ssd disk so it cant be the pc.. [20:03] JoeR1: As the screen fades to black it flickers back to 100% brightness while it's dimming, once it's fully black it's fine [20:03] I have a start-up script that runs that depends on some environment variables, which I put in a .sh file in /etc/profile.d/ It seems that the script in profile.d is not sourced in the start-up process. How can I fix this? [20:03] its something in the network settings [20:03] all aptos should have a keyboard like on there webcam [20:04] Narc: No, that kernel had a lot of regressions.. [20:04] kwikshot, well that is a unique problem, there should be three drivers listed for your card perhaps you could try another one and see if the resolves the issue [20:04] Almehdi: Natty's default ? 2.6.38-8 ? [20:04] kwikshot, other than that I am not sure I can help, that is a pretty odd problem [20:05] Narc: You could use a alternate network manager possibly... depending on the problem [20:05] wait.. [20:05] kwikshot: nit-wit unetbootin didn't make a difference :( This is so wierd, it's like I can't boot from anything else [20:05] JoeR1: It's like something is forcing it to 100% brightness [20:05] Narc: Yes.. 2.6.38-8-generic [20:05] bergLNX: You have done a USB install before right? [20:06] bergLNX: Also have you tried redownloading the ISO? [20:06] kwikshot, I know, it reminds me of a problem my roomy had with Zoom Player in windows but I doubt my knowledge base on that will be of any help [20:06] Almehdi: Well, maybe my problem is an acpi regression. [20:06] JoeR1: Also I am using f.lux [20:06] Mjuksel, run a net speed and compare it what your service should be maybe you need to reboot the router. [20:06] kwikshot: Worked with USB loader before, yes, but never tried while I had Arch installed [20:06] llutz: great reference. thanks. but what does 'documentation' usually mean? I know usage of documentation in ordinary sense.. but what about when saying Ubuntu documentation? [20:07] bergLNX: Do an MD5 check on the ISO [20:07] oh, holy carp - flash plugin just started working for no reason [20:07] kwikshot: Yeah, redownloading now, will check [20:07] hi folks... can someone help me in configuring openvpn? i want to ensure that *only* a few types of traffic go through the vpn. i.e. like web browsing. right now i'm using hidemyass's openvpn config and it seems to be sending *everything* through the vpn.

[20:10] Almehdi: I'm sure it is, that's why I've been trying for two days :D [20:10] any [20:10] ah right [20:10] nit-wit: kwikshot: How do I check the MD5 from here (Vista)?

[20:12] Mjuksel, what is the amount you should be getting [20:12] Almehdi: Haha, I never give up, which can be exhausting. Yes, learning is what makes it worth it. My best option would be to keep current kernel and find a workaround to make USB work with acpi=off, I think.

Add this example content:" ... there is no exampleserver.cnf generated prior to that step [20:26] Meow27, you don't need a partition for grub, install and use the easybcd and the hibernate will work I suspect [20:26] Meow27: why an extra grub-partition (/boot)? [20:26] Meow27: if you want hibernate in win I think you need to leave at least {RAM} amount of free space for windows to put the hibernate [20:27] th0r, thats not the problem :3 [20:27] This is odd, does anyone know if the Pentium D's were ever available in single core models? [20:27] thor; no the problem is that the hibernate sends the user to the grub menu. [20:27] llutz, nit-wit, because some programs like writing around the harddisk free space zones, just like GRUB does. [20:28] JoeR1, arent they dual-threaded CPUs? [20:28] Meow27: I think you're overthinking this problem. Just install W7 as usual, then install Ubuntu as usual. If necessary, see the link I posted previously to fix any hibernate issues. And make sure that you have at least as much pagefile space in Windows as you have physical RAM. [20:28] Meow27, that makes no sense in using a partition for grub. [20:28] JoeR1, nevermind [20:28] Meow27: grub is just a menu === archer__ is now known as Guest12210 [20:28] Meow27 - I don't know, I'm an AMD guy but I got this system handed to me so I'm trying to find out what I'm working with [20:29] JoeR1: What does 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' tell you.

[20:40] I tried sudo lshw -C network [20:40] kwikshot: xmonad [20:40] areels, you can do that, but you'll end up with a double NAT situation so you'll basically have to duplicate the firewall settings in the downstream box [20:41] qin: Why? [20:41] both are disabled [20:41] kwikshot: It is better (in my opinion) [20:41] I've tried sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [20:41] or wlan1 up [20:43] I just realised that I have irssi on the right taking up half the window and firefox on the left taking up half and I'm thinking "why am I using metacity..."

[22:04] tensorpudding: Grub should install by default [22:04] shouldn't it give me the option to choose the OS to startup? [22:04] Bane99: when you say /dev/sdb3, that means you have at least two hard drives, right? [22:04] yes [22:04] Yeah that's what Grub does basically [22:04] Bane99: well, it might be trying to boot from the wrong drive [22:05] In the Bios, change the boot order [22:05] for some reason sda is my backup drive.

[22:08] open a console [22:08] ok so how do i change the grub installation [22:08] and type lsusb [22:08] Bane99: so that normally you don't have to change anything to get the boot order correct [22:08] whats the whole command?

[22:54] Where can I go to ask questions about ppa:'s [22:54] r|z0n: disbale acpi in the grub-line [22:55] eekTheCat: They're listed on the release notes page with the rest of the notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes#Ubuntu%20Server [22:55] It hangs uploading the changes file 1k/2k [22:55] eekTheCat, http://on-disk.com/images/Ubuntu-11.04-screenshot-18.jpg not kidding [22:56] Can someone please help me with my netowrk??? [22:56] it says "eth0 : Error while getting interface flags: No such device. Failed to bring up eth0 [22:56] ls /syss/classs/net found only eth1, lo, virbr0 .. [22:57] bael56: ifconfig -a [22:57] iceroot: Please elaborate [22:58] PseudoGou4, I got et1,lo and virbr0 [22:58] Okay, important question, for those recovery partitions, are the functionality for launching them usually in the MBR, or the BIOS? [22:58] Viper550, the mbr [22:58] bael56: So try bringing up Eth1 instead of Eth0 [22:58] can web based game trigger a shutdown event? [22:58] PseudoGou4, how? :) [22:59] Viper550, at least on my system. I can't speak for "usually" [22:59] ifconfig eth1 up [22:59] eekTheCat, the system I'm installing on has it as their first partition before the OS partition [22:59] PseudoGou4, did not work? [23:00] what did it say? [23:00] nothing [23:00] Viper550: if you are wiping out their windows partition, then wipe out the recovery partition too. unless you want to get windows back at a later point. [23:00] That means it worked [23:00] ifconfig eth1 [23:00] though on this system it might not be worth it because THE FREAKING RECOVERY IMAGE WAS FAULTY :U [23:00] i'm running vinagre vnc client on my ubuntu box and when i access it from my mac mini screen rewrites and refreshes don't happen i've got a gigabit router and gigabit nics. would i better be able to control my mac mini if i can a vnc server on it, and accessed from my much more powerful linux machine ? [23:00] as in, I couldn't even get it to a working desktop [23:00] hey anyone know the crunch tool , [23:01] viper550: then wipe out the whole disk, give it to ubuntu. [23:01] yay. he'll finally get his advertised 160GB [23:02] can i run command & conquer : generals on ubuntu ? [23:02] Yes, give it to ubuntu as tribute. A tithe, if you will [23:02] actually vinagre server on ubuntu natty. accessing it from snow leopard makes screen refreshes impossible would i have better luck running snow leopard vnc server and accessing it from a much more powerful linux box ? [23:03] PseudoGou4, nothing really changed, still got localip [23:03] bael56: ifconfig eth1 what does it say [23:03] I just received my new thinkpad t520. I was going to install ubuntu on it, but I've heard there are some problems with 11.04 on the t520. Something about drivers for the wireless. Anyone know about this? [23:03] I'm tempted to install 10.4 TLS. [23:03] what command shows the running process in ubuntu? [23:03] Er, 10.4 LTS. [23:04] yassine_hell: ps or top [23:04] yassine_hell: To see all processes with lots of detail, ps -ef [23:04] puff : thx ima try it [23:04] Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr e0:69...... inet6 addr:80::e2.... Scope:Link ...UP BroadCasr running multicast.... [23:04] yassine_hell: To get a running display of your most CPU-intensive processes, run top from the command window. [23:04] PseudoGou4, Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr e0:69...... inet6 addr:80::e2.... Scope:Link ...UP BroadCasr running multicast.... [23:05] yassine_hell: I don't know of any equivalent GUI tools, but then I tend to use ps and top, so I haven't looked. [23:05] bael56: Put it on pastebin [23:05] puff : top looks cool [23:05] bael56: It is working, the question is is it pulling an IP address [23:06] PseudoGou4, I have to write it by hand.. it's on another computer.. Is there some value that is important i can write that/those.. [23:06] yassine_hell: Ah, there's a GUI tool: System/Administration/System Monitor. [23:06] PseudoGou4, no its not :/ [23:06] bael56: Try typing "dhclient eth1" what does it say [23:06] (I'm assuming you have the ethernet port actually connected to something) [23:06] hello PseudoGou4 [23:06] Waqas Hello [23:07] may i ask you a question about ubuntu bus option [23:07] Folks are there plans to ship 2.6.39 with transparent_hugepage enabled? [23:07] PseudoGou4SIOCSIFADDR: No such device..... eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: no Such device.. .... Bind socket to interface: No such device [23:07] Waqas Ask, you may get an answer [23:07] ok i try it [23:07] bael156 [23:07] sudo dhclient eth1 [23:08] I did that [23:08] Errno 30? [23:08] and I got that error msg [23:08] moodaepo: Not sure, you may want to check the ubuntu-kernel mailing lists or their IRC channel: #ubuntu-kernel [23:08] I was playing with the Bus option, turned that option off, but somehow i couldnt use keyboard and mouse anymore at start up phase, how do i enable the bus option from command line before start up? I need to enable the bus system option. [23:08] Pici: Thanks! [23:08] bael - I would tell you to run lspci and lsmod and to send me a textfile of their output [23:08] That's the nexttstep to a diagnosis [23:09] But you will have to make accomodations for this if you want my assistance [23:09] I need to see which network card yuo have and which modules you have loaded [23:09] PseudoGou4, wow!!!!! it worked!!! :) [23:09] Waqas - You mean you recompiled the Kernel and played with the bus options in the kernel? [23:09] Can't you boot to the old kernel? [23:09] no i only disabled the bus option from system menu [23:09] that caused it [23:09] long time ago [23:09] You can't type anythign at all? [23:10] PseudoGou4, Can I modify a file or something to tell it to autostart on reboot?? Perhaps by mod.. 70-persiastnt-net.rules? [23:10] bael56: What worked? [23:10] i cant use the keyboard and mouse when screen appears of login [23:10] bael56: I don't know, it should work automatically at next reboot, try it [23:10] PseudoGou4, I got the ip when I runed dhcclient eth1 [23:10] Okay, I was doing a unetbootin install, and I got a "Errno 30" [23:10] PseudoGou4, Thank you extremly much mate! you're the best! :) [23:11] bael56: Set the connection up in the Network Manager GUI, it should do this for you [23:11] bael56: G-D Bless [23:11] Waqas: Are you able to ctrl_alt_shift Fkey to a new console? === michaelh1_ is now known as michaelh_foo === michaelh_foo is now known as michaelh1 [23:12] i dont think i can do that, the keyboard responses frozen [23:12] i am now in win7 [23:13] PseudoGou4, I just have a another question (short one) ... On my workstation I am running ubuntu 11.04 yesterday I tried installing KDE 3 and something wierd happend I am not able to login to the system via KDE.. but if I press alt + ctrl + f2 I am able.. I have tried to remove KDE but noting works.. Is the only way to reinstall the system?? [23:14] bael56: The question is too ambiguous. Elaborate "could not log on". [23:14] what parameter should i use with "cd" to get the size of a file ? [23:14] Waqas: So go into Linux you Dutch bufoon [23:14] *i mean with "ls" [23:14] ok [23:14] yassine_hell: ls -lh [23:14] yassine_hell: ls -l === michaelh1 is now known as michaelh1|away === michaelh1|away is now known as michaelh1 [23:15] thx [23:15] i need to enable the option before i start the start up screen do you know how to use a comman to run and enable bus system? === michaelh1 is now known as michaelh1|away === michaelh1|away is now known as michaelh1 [23:15] Guys i dont know why but something is wrong with my ubuntu narhwal im having a very very slow internet while in windows its normal and stable [23:15] anyway i can debug the situation? [23:16] /whois Waqas [23:16] Waqas: You can't access your Linux partition from Windows without a 129-bit inode EXT3 partition [23:16] *128-bit [23:16] now in Ubuntu 10.04.2 :) [23:17] actually vinagre server on ubuntu natty. accessing it from snow leopard makes screen refreshes impossible would i have better luck running snow leopard vnc server and accessing it from a much more powerful linux box ? [23:17] no i mean when i start the linux in dos mode i have the option to choose the menu from there to activate the bus configurationo [23:17] question guys, is there a reason why my sound blaster audigy 2 is all scratchy? [23:17] ! who | Waqas [23:17] Waqas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:17] Alleluiah!!!!!! [23:17] Waqas: Sorry I can't help you I am too inexperienced and your English is confusing me. [23:17] Ok === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [23:18] . [23:18] I try with somebody else [23:18] PseudoGou4, that's no reason to go namecalling. [23:18] The countdown to ubuntu 12.04 LTS has begun and so has my savings fund for a new laptop to run it :-) [23:18] XuMuK: Your ZNC is set to change your nickname when you disconnect from it. This is against Ubuntu's IRC Guidelines and is rather annoying; please disable this feature. [23:19] Melissa - mind your business [23:19] #Bane99, I thought the audigy2 chips were well supported these days? [23:20] #Bane99 they were well supported in the 2.0.3x kernels anyway.....the good old days ;-) [23:21] aw [23:21] #bitcoin-dk [23:21] well all i'm getting is audio with crackles [23:21] is there a way to change folder permissions? [23:22] PseudoGou4, as I am an op here, your behaviour is very much my business. I will hence mind it. [23:22] te [23:22] #bane99, Silly Q, you tried googling it or tried it with a different distro or even a distro live cd? [23:22] elky - it would be nice to know if you're a mod by placing a "@" in front of your name [23:22] PseudoGou4: It would be nice if you would treat all users with respect as our IRC Guidelines (which ubottu has linked you to) mandate. [23:22] elky: So that I can avoid getting in the way of your menstral power trips [23:23] PseudoGou4 i solved it i am reinstallating ubuntu [23:23] rww, he's yours. [23:23] how do I ignore people on irc? (havent time to google) === eekTheCat is now known as SenatorLincoln [23:23] Hi im installing 10.04.2. I installed Windows Xp on 14gb of 140gb and then using 11.04 live i moved that to end. Then installed 11.04 and shrinked it to end till windows xp. Now in free space i want to put 10.04.2 witch will i be using all the time and i have installation now. [23:24] ubuntucork: depends on irc client [23:24] ubuntucork, you have time to sit here and wait for an answer? I honestly think you could figure it out with a single guess for your irc client :) [23:24] I have installed a lamp-server on ubuntu 11.04, and i'm trying to place files such as an index.php into the /var/www/ folder, and I keep getting permission denied [23:24] Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup. OR Use the largest continious free space.. The 2nd option shows where it will install. Why 1st option doesnt show? [23:25] luchenbill, permission denied when you place files there? Or when you open them through your apache server in the browser? [23:26] SenatorLincoln: i'm trying to place files into that directory so I can view them via apache [23:26] for local testing [23:26] hi guys [23:26] luchenbill, so the files aren't getting placed? [23:27] i'm running a jaunty in a cloud service which i want to update [23:27] SenatorLincoln: no I can't place files into the directory /var/www/ I don't have permission [23:27] unfortunately the i get a 404 for a bunch of packages when i apt-get update [23:27] !eol | ypaq [23:27] ypaq: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:27] thanks [23:27] luchenbill, you can use sudo to place the file. sudo mv index.php /var/www [23:28] luchenbill, you can change the permissions there so your user or a certain group has access there with chmod [23:28] thanks SenatorLincoln [23:29] exactly what i needed! thanks again [23:29] Does anyone know a sound mixer that I can adjust levels of mids, bass, and highs? Just got some new speakers and am looking for a bit more mid sound, but can't seem to find an audio mixer for Ubuntu [23:30] it worked very nicely SenatorLincoln, but how can I change the permissions so I can just place files there? [23:30] so do you think i should use my realtek onboard sound instead of my SB Audigy 2? [23:31] luchenbill, a simple way would be to chown(change ownership) everything in /var/www. sudo chown -R luchenbill /var/www [23:31] Does anybody know about some good applications for Ubuntu? [23:31] Like a Unity? [23:32] hi can anybody, remind me what dictionary is on ubuntu with blue icon? [23:32] Sharpclaw, luke a unity? [23:32] Unity, Unity3D. [23:32] Sharpclaw: Gnome-shell? ;) [23:32] Bane99: no. [23:32] Gnome ftw! [23:32] sigh i'll deal with my scratchy sound then =/ [23:32] Ugh... what is a Gnome-sheel? [23:33] I mean Gnome-shell. [23:33] so just deal with the scratchy and muffled sound? [23:33] Sharpclaw: Just joking.. it is another shell than Unity.. which is the default of Ubuntu 11.04 [23:33] :P [23:33] Hm, I have a new t520 with an i7. It says it's 64-bit in Windows' Start/Computer/Properties. [23:34] was i supposed to use ext3 or ext4 to format the partition? [23:34] yes puff? [23:34] Oh. Wrong Unity. LOL! I mean Unity3d gaming. (unity.com) [23:34] puff: yes, amd64 will work fine. [23:34] i have an i7 too [23:34] Should I download the 64-bit ubuntu install? The install file has "amd" in the name... [23:34] Sharpclaw: Are you after a game or something? [23:34] rww: Ah, you got there ahead of me :-). Thanks. [23:34] that's what i used [23:34] I didn't like unity; I am running 11.04 and selected classic view at boot. [23:34] puff: welcome [23:34] Bane99: Thank you, also. [23:34] Oh yeah, is there a Unity desktop for Ubuntu 10.10 desktop? [23:34] Hi. I've just installed ubuntu 11.04, and my display keeps fading to black after 5 minutes of being idle. There used to be an option to stop that in power management but it's gone now, so how do i stop it? [23:34] Sharpclaw: no [23:34] Not exactly, Almehdi. See, I MAKE the games. [23:34] what is logic gate? [23:34] hmmm [23:35] games [23:35] GuitarMan517, I could have helped you before Ubuntu adopted this pulseaudio thing. Now everything seems confusing (and often broken). [23:35] do i need WINE? [23:35] Hm, installing from a USB key... do I need to do anything special, or just copy it over to the USB key, plug it into the T520, open it and click the file? [23:35] for say old StarCraft [23:35] Sharpclaw: Ahh.. ;) [23:35] SenatorLincoln: Dang it, no way around that? [23:35] I know theres one for Netbook, but I don't have enough space for it. I'm running out of HD spage. [23:35] I'm still kinda leery of 11.04... I am/was on 10.04 LTS. [23:35] puff: Do you have an Ubuntu computer handy? [23:35] that's what i installed puff [23:35] over 11.04 [23:35] puff: seems to be ok, but unity..I dont like it [23:36] Sharpclaw: What typ of games are you after? [23:36] I make 3D games [23:36] hello [23:36] I am not able to get my old iMac running the newest edition of Ubuntu online via wifi. I am using a Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA BCM4311 driver which allegedly is "activated and currently in use", yet I cannot find and connect to any wireless networks. I'm a linux newb, so I'm not sure how difficult this problem is to solve, but I would much appreciate any advise. [23:37] how do one create network bridge for KVM ? I'm confused about that part which does not state additional IP addresses [23:37] :> [23:37] puff: if you do, download the ISO to the Ubuntu computer, run System -> Administration -> Startup Disc Creator, it'll prepare the USB stick properly. [23:37] Sharpclaw: Understand, but you wanted a recommendation... === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [23:37] is ext4 stable now? [23:37] puff: If you don't, I think the thing the Windows kids use is called unetbootin [23:37] Sharpclaw: So in what area? ;) [23:37] No. I was just saying that they should make Unity3D for Ubuntu. [23:37] Sharpclaw, there is nothing like Unity3D for linux [23:38] rww: Yes, I have my old thinkpad t43p, running 10.04 LTS. [23:38] Sharpclaw: Yes, indeed they should... little sad they have not [23:38] puff: I think it's named slightly differently in 10.04, but it's still in System -> Administration. [23:38] How can I install glib-2.6 in ubuntu 10.10 [23:38] so i installed Docky and it asked me to turn on Composition? [23:38] Nothing for Unity in Snaptic. [23:38] Hello guys i've got problem with saving&watching AV stream from rtsp camera so far i figured out this pipeline but i have no idea how to write proper one. gst-launch-0.10 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.10.25:8554/test latency=90 name=s ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! tee name=videoout ! queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=sampel.mkv videoout. ! queue ! decodebin ! autovideosink s. ! rtpvorbisdepay ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! alsasink [23:38] what is that [23:39] rww: Startup Disk Creator is kinda cool, but it really oughta handle finding and downloading the right version for the user, to _really_ spread ubuntu... [23:39] <-- afk [23:39] any other votes for 10.04 vs 11.04? [23:39] Is there a way to get KDE without all the apps? [23:39] Hm, I should bittorrent this ISO. [23:39] puff, no [23:40] "15 hours, 44 minutes remaining - 3.4 of 698 MB (10.5 KB/sec)" [23:40] I blame comcast. [23:40] puff: I like 10.04, personally. [23:40] puff: depend what do you need stability of new stuff [23:40] nit-wit: No opinions, or no I shouldnt bittorrent it? [23:40] puff, no on the comparison that is. [23:40] rww: I'm also slightly worried about drivers wtih the t520, there have been some reported odd behavior. [23:40] And since 10.4 is LTS, it still has a fair bit of support window. [23:41] How do you install glibc-2.6.1 in ubuntu 10.10 [23:41] Come to think of it, my original reason for going with LTS is still valid, so... [23:41] puff, comcast is a known throttler. [23:41] puff: are you downloading with torrent? [23:41] puff: Hrm, but newer means newer kernel means more likely to have the drivers you want. Tricky. [23:41] ActionParsnip! The person that got my Ubuntu USBs up and running!! [23:41] umm comcast is much much faster than my DSL lol [23:41] rww: Well, the last several version upgrades caused problems with funky kernel stuff, usually wireless-related. [23:41] rww: Which *eventually* got sorted out, but... [23:42] rww: I am now a bit gunshy about upgrades, hence LTS. [23:42] As well as not liking the upgrade treadmill. [23:42] puff: Do you have any advise on how to solve those funky problems? I could get online until i recently upgraded to the latest ubuntu. Now I'm lost. [23:42] Murple: Depnds on the problem. [23:42] puff: stay with LTS if it works for you [23:43] puff: yeah, it's a dilemma [23:43] Do you know how to clean up HD space to make room for Ubuntu 10.04 upgrade? [23:43] I can't see any networks, yet the broadcom driver is supposedly "activated and currently in use" [23:43] Sharpclaw: sodo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get clean [23:44] Please, how can I install glib-2.14 or higher, not in package manager [23:44] Sharpclaw: I used to use this nifty tool, jdiskreport. I think there's a similar app in an ubuntu package. [23:44] Murple: Mine had to do with wireless just getting flakier and flakier. Ultimately I found a comment in the bug system that said one user solved his problem by reflashing his router from DD-WRT (which mine was) to tomato. I did that and my problems went away. [23:45] Oh yeah, that reminds me... with the t43p, I had problems using the regular installer, I had to get the altenrate installer image. Anybody know if that's still the case with the t520? [23:45] hmmm... I'd rather not have to touch the routher, and it seems very unnecessary. The router hasn't changed, it worked before and it's working right now. But the last Ubuntu upgrade killed my internet connection. [23:46] Nothing for jdiskreport. sudo apt-get clean worked well. Still not enough space though. Any more sugestions? [23:46] Murple: Killed it _how_? [23:46] Sharpclaw: jdiskreport isn't in the repos, it's a java program you have to download. [23:46] Oh. LOL [23:47] What is a workable programme that will record audio to mp3 format in ubuntu === erkan^ is now known as erkan^AwAy [23:47] I'm not sure. I can't see any wireless networks. I'm a linux newb, so I might be the problem. I just don't know how to troubleshoot. I found this article which precisely addresses my problem, but after finishing all the steps, but not joy. [23:47] Sharpclaw : sudo apt-get autoclean [23:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:48] puff: It reads the Java file as an archive. [23:48] Sharpclaw: baobab is the other app I was thinking of, that one *is* in the repos. [23:48] Sharpclaw: However, my notes say that jdiskreport still has a hadny display-by-file-type option that baobab doesn't. Then aagain, maybe it does now. [23:49] Sharpclaw: Downlaod the java file, save it, then run it with java. [23:49] Sharpclaw: Speaking of java, if you're freeing up space temporarily, to upgrade, then you might remove the JDKs, they're quite large. [23:50] Murple: Step one, make sure you actually have wireless enabled. [23:50] JDKs? [23:50] Sharpclaw: Java Development Kits. [23:50] Sharpclaw: sudo dpklg -l | fgrep -i jdk [23:50] Ugh... Ok? [23:50] puff: You lost me at step one. [23:50] Murple: sudo ifconfig -a [23:50] okay [23:50] ? [23:50] How do I get rid of them [23:50] Murple: a) sudo ifup eth1 [23:51] puff: ifconfig: eth0 + lo. Ethernet + Local loopback. [23:51] Murple: b) sudo ifconfig eth1 up [23:52] Murple: Ohwait. [23:52] puff: ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth1 [23:52] Murple: Usually eth0 is wired and eth1 is wireless. [23:52] Murple: Is this a laptop or desktop? [23:52] puff: I don't think the wireless is listed. [23:52] puff: stationary iMac. 5 years old or so. [23:52] Sharpclaw: Did that dpkg command find any JDKs? [23:52] Murple: Ah, does it have wireless? [23:53] Murple: Yeah, sounds like it's not listing it... may be some other problem entirely, then. [23:53] puff: Yes, as I said, I used it in Ubuntu up until I upgraded. [23:53] I don't know what command to use. [23:53] puff: indeed. [23:53] Sharpclaw: sudo dpkg -l | fgrep -i jdk [23:54] Murple: Hrm, sudo lsmod [23:54] this is my first day on ubuntu [23:54] well linux in general [23:54] Murple: See if you can spot your wireless driver module in there. I'm not sure what it's called. On mine it's ipw2200, but it's a hardware-specific thing. [23:54] Bane99, do you hate it yet? :P [23:54] nope [23:54] "Murple: Usually eth0 is wired and eth1 is wireless." ??? wlan0 is wireless [23:54] hahaha it's fun so far [23:54] lol, give yourself time :P [23:54] but i'd like my audio to stop having crackles [23:55] moneyisdust: Okay, usually on *my* machines it's eth0 and eth1. I've seen wla0 on other machines too. [23:55] :) [23:55] puff: nothing happened. [23:55] Bane99, might want to play with your alsa settings === erkan^AwAy is now known as erkan^ [23:55] Sharpclaw: Okay, then you don't have any JDKs installed. [23:55] moneyisdust, puff: It depends on which module you're using for wifi. Some use ethX, some use wlanX [23:55] How do I add templates? [23:55] puff. I don't think it's listed, although it's hard to say because several of the items are difficult to decipher. [23:55] Sharpclaw: So run baobab and see if that helps you find out what's sucking up your space. [23:55] alsa settings? [23:55] rww: Ah, maybe you can advise murple further... [23:56] basic install of ubuntu :) [23:56] I can't run my Python scripts because I don't have a template for it. [23:56] moneyisdust: wlan0 was not listed either. I only had "eth0" and "lo". [23:56] does anyone know how much Landscape alone is per seat? [23:56] puff: baobab is also known as the "Disk usage analyzer", right? [23:57] hey guys unity crashes on me periodically is there any way to deal with this other then unity --reset? [23:57] Marple: ifconfig -a [23:57] That lists eth0 and lo. [23:57] ok [23:57] Sharpclaw: That sounds likely. [23:58] so x1010011010x, what are the alsa settings? [23:58] Ok. Let me check that... I'll be back on Friday. Thanks! [23:58] what is alsa? i'm very new to linux lol [23:58] it is to back the cake :) [23:58] is it just me or ubuntu narwhal has issuies with internet speed? [23:58] bake [23:58] sry [23:59] Get this on boot in a window. What is this from? Ub should tell me source. How to find out? ---> search for suitable plugin The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? [23:59] So just tried ubuntu 11.04 on my new state of the art allinone elo POS, nice to see touch out of the box, Great Work :) [23:59] haha
