[00:59] KM0201: it's removinf everything now [00:59] ok [00:59] lefty|busy: just make sure you restart after its removed (cuz you want the sta module removed) [00:59] ubuntucork: not sure how i'd do that... it just sits at the ubuntu load screen with 5 circles [00:59] ubunutucork: how do i boot to prompt [01:00] KM0201: I removed all modules [01:00] I can't mout my pendrive.. is my problem too simple? any help appreciated [01:00] redTest: ok, do I dd the .iso to usb? [01:00] and some other stuff [01:00] that's fine, then restart. [01:00] bkfitz: if memory serves me i think its the esc key on boot and you should get to the grub screen [01:00] le [01:00] lefty|busy: then follow the instructions for the b43 driver [01:00] biancapz, how and when afre you trying to mount it? [01:00] ok... then login as root, chmod / to 755? [01:00] bkfitz: let me double check that for you :) [01:00] KM0201: It said "Warning: No support for locale enUS.utf8 should I be worried ? === jthomas_ is now known as TheDracle [01:01] no. [01:01] ok [01:01] gracias ubuntucork... i guess i could just as easily googel it :) [01:01] (or at least i wouldn't be.. :)) === andy_ is now known as Guest25683 [01:01] KM0201: Your scaring me [01:01] lefty|busy: b43 is usually rock solid.. i've never had issues w/ it, so ij ust use it over STA, no matter what [01:02] bkfitz: all I was going to do: then at the boot prompt you should see a rescue mode, if not set the init mode to 1(single user root) [01:02] KM0201: aha ok [01:02] kdub: i have no switch [01:02] candace, sorry, but I don't find anything at all on google. Ask your question again and include the info about the black border and maybe someone else can help you [01:02] lefty|busy: after you install th b43 driver, you'll likely hae to restart again [01:02] kdub: it's just fn + button on keyboard.. i press it and it only chages "soft block" but not the hard block [01:02] bkfitz: I did mine with a ppa for the intel graphics adapter to see if there was any advantage over the repo standard. Repo Standard won due to stability [01:03] KM0201: ok it restarted what now ? lol [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] kdub: any ideas/hints/stuff is appreciated [01:03] lefty|busy: did you install b43 yet? or did you just uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source?

[01:06] folgers did you run an update at all from fresh install [01:06] just restarting it now [01:06] ubuntucork: yeah... i'm trying holding down shift now [01:06] fresh install? [01:06] update manager? [01:07] KM0201: Ok I need help lol I can't even get to step 1 lol [01:07] folgers: update manager should come up after an fresh install [01:07] it always has for me. i burnt this copy a while back [01:08] lefty|busy: ok, whats the problem? [01:08] ahhh LTS releases, got to love them. No new issues every 6 months. And I only upgrade 6 months into the cycle to let the issues be ironed out first :) [01:08] ubuntucork: i see two options for (recovery mode)... 2.6.35-28-generic and 22-generic?? [01:08] KM0201: I don't know what to do ! :'/ [01:09] lefty|busy: ok.. do you see where it says "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" ? [01:09] the latest one (the former in the list) and it shouldnt really matter, as they both should boot :) [01:09] KM0201: no [01:09] bkfitz: the latest kernel which is the forner in your list and it should not really matter as they both should boot [01:10] ubuntucork: yeah i'm in 28 and i chose Drop to root shell prompt... now was I correct it's chmod / 755 [01:10] lefty|busy: you don't see where it says "installing the b43 drivers"? [01:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers [01:10] Anyone know if there's a known issue with 11.04 installing on an SSD? dmesg shows it can see the drive /dev/sda, but it's unable to open it. Tried the windows installer and that can see it fine [01:10] bkfitz: what are you chmoding? [01:10] KM0201: I see installing b43 drivers [01:10] folgers: You may have to dig into the xorg.conf file but you said it wasn't the resolution right? [01:11] lefty|busy: ok.. then scroll down and do you see "b43-Internet Access" (thats assuming you have internet access, that isn't wireless, which you do, so thats the instructions you want) [01:11] KM0201: Ok [01:11] lefty|busy: then step 1, is "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" [01:11] Any hd2 users? Trying to update magldr on Ubuntu... or run windows mobile device center without the requirement of windows.... :/ [01:11] KM0201: YEah I got that [01:11] ok... [01:11] did it install? [01:12] Yes [01:12] ubuntucork: well by going to gksu nautilus and then clicking on file system, then properties, then changing 'others' permission to none, isn't that just a chmod to 750 or something on the root partition?? [01:12] u should get a window pop up asking you to download/extract firmware [01:12] lefty|busy: did you let it install the firmware? [01:12] KM0201: I got no pop-up [01:12] lefty|busy: are you sure it installed? what does the terminal say? [01:13] hi === Lobo is now known as Guest73499 [01:13] at 2am what is left of my brain after a tumour is a little fried to work out octaly ;-) but others would be 0 yes :) [01:13] lefty|busy: cuz you should have gotten a pop up, asking you to extract the firmware [01:13] lefty|busy: did you install it from synaptic, or from terminal? [01:13] KM0201: idk [01:13] .. [01:14] bkfitz: at 2am what is left of my brain after a tumour is a little fried to work out octaly but others would be 0 yes [01:14] KM0201: do you have whats called teamviewer ? [01:14] lefty|busy: i have it, but we don't need it if you want me to look at it. [01:14] as long as you have an internet connection on that machine [01:14] KM0201: I would like you to look at it [01:14] lo [01:14] lol [01:14] is it possible to mount a split dd image without recombining it-if so, how? [01:14] ubuntucork: so doing a chmod 755 / should reverse it??? [01:14] lefty|busy: answer yoru PM [01:15] KM0201: ok [01:15] KM0201: are we allowed to look in the folder marked "porn" ? :-P [01:15] KM0201: I am getting interesting freezes where the mouse will work but no window/menu will respond. Is there a log file I should look at to debug+ [01:15] acovrig: like running two files recognized as one and mount it? [01:15] :) [01:15] ubuntucork: lol.. :) [01:15] itaylor57: not really sure on that.. hang on a sec [01:16] bkfitz: no idea what your trying to reverse sorry I came in so late :( [01:16] zaya: I guess-more like 77 ;) [01:16] acovrig: I'm not sure, so try and report: sudo mkdir /media/splitiso && sudo mount -o loop /path/to/splitfile /media/splitiso [01:17] ubuntucork: here is what i did step by step 1. gksu nautilus 2. click on file system 3. go to file properties 4. change 'others' permissions to 'none' 5. click ok 6. realize i just fd myself [01:17] I usually work on the basis of chmod [u]g[g][o] +/-[rwx] /foldername [01:17] bkfitz: I usually work on the basis of chmod [u]g[g][o] +/-[rwx] /foldername [01:17] acovrig DasEi's guess is as good as mine [01:18] ubuntucork: so do you know what that properties window in nautilus 'others' dropdown does? [01:18] bkfitz: well if you do it recursively you will change ALL folder permissions!! [01:19] bkfitz: I never use guis for this, I normally use command line as per above, or NC in the terminal [01:19] Is there a tool or way in which I can format a drive into ext3 to be able to install ubuntu on it (from windows 7)? I have no CD Drive and my pc can't boot from USB [01:19] bkfitz: [I am old school lol] [01:19] ubuntucork: exactly... not even sure I can fix this one [01:19] Daditos, just install a wubi [01:19] KM0201: i hope its not this Apr 25 21:41:35 abyss kernel: [ 4744.603659] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: CPU power or thermal limit exceeded [01:20] acovrig: result ? [01:20] ubuntucork: i guess what i'm confused about is what 'others' need to have readonly on to make the os work... clearly i was wrong in thinking they didn't need any permissions [01:20] bkfitz: try as su: "chmod o+r -R /" [01:20] Daditos, is the computer to old to boot a usb the plop app will get you in [01:20] this way others get recursive read rights to all folders [01:20] nit-wit, will I be able to use it in dual boot as if I had booted it from a cd? [01:20] itaylor57: hmm, "thermal limits" usually result in a shutdown [01:20] ubuntucork: what is o+r (others read?) [01:20] yeah [01:20] you can then go through the fs after removing any unwanted read permissions [01:20] it's not old, it just doesn't appear in the BIOS [01:20] DasEi: just a sec-mounting external hdd w/images on it [01:21] right [01:21] KM0201: and maverick had that before but it was not a real error [01:21] Daditos, yes it will just be a folder in windows. Is the computer to old to boot a usb thumb? [01:21] bkfitz: yes o+r = others read access [01:21] itaylor57: hmm. [01:21] Daditos: the installer does it itself, the formatting, so no pre-format needed [01:21] who know the password for linux katya mint livecd [01:21] i'll give that a shot... is there a way someone can list the folders that 'others' need permissions to [01:21] Any brits in here if Anyone doesnt mind me asking? [01:21] in a standard ubuntu install [01:21] Daditos, what is the computer? [01:22] Daditos: else can have a vm on win7, then mount additional drive there [01:22] nit-wit, I don't know what you mean [01:22] you could try installing a virtual machine on another machine and installing ubuntu into it and listing them that way :) [01:22] but it's new [01:22] q6600, P5q-e [01:22] 2 years old [01:22] Someone having VM issues [01:22] I should check the Chip documentation [01:22] Daditos, what is the computer model? [01:22] bkfitz: you could try installing a virtual machine on another machine and installing ubuntu into it and listing them that way [01:22] Asus P5Q-E [01:22] Intel Q6600 [01:22] DasEi: `mount -o loop * /mnt/tst` basically returns the mount helpfile-given I am in the dir with the split images [01:22] Daditos: that should boot from usb, too (mind who, so put nick) [01:23] room, apologies for forgetting to put persons name at front to avoid confusion. brain tumour survivor here but not all cylinders firing at 2am ;-) [01:23] Daditos, the usb ports on one side do not work for booting a thumb [01:23] ubuntucork: crossing all my fingers as i reboot [01:23] I don't have a thumb but I do have an external disk [01:23] I plugged it on the back port [01:23] hey [01:23] you mean the ones on the front don't work [01:23] what u mean [01:23] but the ones on the back should, shouldn't they? [01:23] VMware-server is support for Ubuntu or you could use virtualbox [01:23] DasEi: would it mean anything that the dd images are of /dev/sda (per-say) instead of /dev/sda1 [01:24] bkfitz: if it helps my lovely gf wont move off of her 10.04 LTS desktop back to windows, as the support she got online blew her away plus it just works :) [01:24] hey im new on this [01:24] hi [01:24] no dice [01:24] Daditos, not sure which one but all do not work for booting, but try to use a hd an external is well a tough job even if you got it to work. [01:24] love virtualbox :) [01:24] *tring [01:24] how do i install python-opencl for amd stream? [01:24] bkfitz: you could try setting 0+rw [01:24] * acovrig high-fives ubuntucork [01:25] yeah I run BT5 in VRTB in side of crunchbang [01:25] i like daditos a little [01:25] what does that do [01:25] acovrig: thank you my man :) [01:25] bkfitz: o+rw [01:25] yeah [01:25] others read write yes [01:25] bkfitz: it gives others read AND wirite [01:25] yeah [01:25] acovrig: I don't understand; you mount the external , aka sdXY, to a drive and then specifiy the mountdir in the loop-command [01:26] Daditos, istall via wubi until you have a way of booting a disc or thumb. The wubi can be movede to a partition with a command that is found on a thread just about this on the ubuntu forums. [01:26] to a directory* [01:26] wholoves me say yeah [01:26] intx sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl [01:26] dopey question, does 11.04 have a wubi installer now? [01:26] DasEi, nit-wit, what I did was. A) Create 2 Gb partition in a USB drive (500 gb) although it has (600 mb) as a CD for WMPassport (and that get's recognized by boot, somehow) B) Used Linux Live USB Creator on that partition (Fat32) C) Shutdown computer, opened BIOS, check options. CD like partition appears (WMPassport) but no LINUX Drive === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [01:26] DasEi: the external has the images on it, I cd into the dir w/them, do mount -o loop * /mnt/dir -* as-in all the images in the cwd to /mnt/dir [01:26] ubuntucork, yeah. [01:27] ok [01:27] is 10.04 supported? its my last update and when i got it last time my video went out [01:27] Nicke__: [01:27] nit-wit: [01:27] Daditos: you trying to dual boot [01:27] I'll do that [01:27] yes [01:27] nit-wit: great someone might if she is nice to me ;-) get migrated as her laptop is newer and shinier than mine ;-) [01:27] daditos`wanna be buds? [01:27] acovrig: right so far, and mount reports ? [01:28] fuck! [01:28] i fell [01:28] Daditos, you going the wubi way until your better setuo? === grace is now known as Guest32038 [01:28] DasEi: I guess my next thing would be to partition this external to allow >2GB files so I can combine the images [01:28] yes [01:28] right now im on 8.04 and my video is laggin im gettin like 32 fps on a 256 meg video card [01:28] ok, it's 4:28am here [01:28] so would you please [01:28] I'm going to read a little and install it [01:28] Daditos: ic, so seems like the external misses grub, but for that case, better backup mbr before [01:28] I just want to mkae sure I can use it from dual boot as a sole OS [01:28] consider my question [01:29] daditos is kinda cute [01:29] ubuser: kudos for sticking with 8.04 :-) [01:29] acovrig: or set them together internal [01:29] Daditos, all you have to remember with wubi is don't do any hard shutdowns and don't accept any grub bootlaoder updates watch for the grubs. [01:29] what are some good LKM rootkits nowadays? not limited to Ubuntu, naturally [01:29] Also in grub.conf you can edit the boot options so your windows partition is part of the Grub [01:29] ok, I'll keep that in mind [01:29] ubuser: is it an nvidia graphics, could you not build from source? [01:29] DasEi: what do you mean? [01:29] I've been off this game for like 12 years [01:30] so I'm going to have to catch up [01:30] ! who | Crunchybits [01:30] Crunchybits: 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 :) [01:30] yea winfast px8600 [01:30] its just an old version i cant get flash running or sound [01:31] say you got a rather ancient Centos 5.0 [01:31] ubuser: try building from source and see if that helps :-) [01:31] but when i update to 10.04 its the same [01:31] acovrig: you said the dd splitfiles where on external (2GB fat32 no largeFile), so you could copy them to internal ext4 and first complete them again [01:31] Dadito: here follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [01:31] which is basically RHEL 5.0 [01:31] idk how to do that [01:31] how would you rootkit it? [01:31] wflme: Ancient to you is stable to me. :-) [01:31] I would, but I don't have an internal hdd capable of containing them [01:31] Not impress with RHEL5 or 6 [01:31] LKM is preffered [01:32] ubuntucork: oh well, it's quire an easy target, rootwise [01:32] s/quire/quite/ [01:32] Crunchybits, the user Daditos has no bootable medium.;) [01:32] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/jbqqLj8H is what mount spits out of `mount -o loop * /mnt/dir` [01:32] say I'm pentesting and all [01:32] i tried all the nvidia downloads in sypnatic [01:32] acovrig: is the external full ? else use gparted and do a large enough ext4 part (defrag fat beforehands) [01:33] wflme: i dont run ftp, no mail servers and for my web i use cherokee, as its small light and fast and easily configured. [01:33] ah so his primary is toast then a mrb repair is needed [01:33] how do i add the number of screens i have with unitys desktop switcher? [01:33] The strange thing, is that BIOS recognizes a part of the USB Drive because it appears as a CD drive [01:33] It's one of those Net PAssport Drives [01:33] ubuser google "download nvidia drivers for linux" and look for ann nvidia website. download from there. then "apt-get install bulid-essentials" [01:33] ubuntucork: that's not it. it's the kernel. 2.6.16, specifically [01:34] from Western Digital [01:34] Gskellig: You can change that using ccsm if I recall correctly. [01:34] DasEi: yea, I could, I just would rather not (It's a 2TB external with lots of important stuff that isn't all mine) [01:34] ah yeah they a mini linux [01:34] ccsm? [01:34] ubuntucork: so when i did the chmod o+r -R / i got an operation not permitted error on the entire /proc directory [01:34] invalid operation [01:34] wflme: yes but they backpatch and redhat in fairness do a lot of kernel and security work [01:34] I'm not sure how they accomplish to make a HD have a partition that looks like a cd, if I could replicate that, I would be able to install it as If I had a CD [01:35] so what's the LKM rootkit of choice nowadays? [01:35] hard drive that looks like a cd. [01:35] ubuntucork: thinking that is why it didnt' work... tried the o+rw and got the same denial on that directory... [01:35] bkfitz: correct, /proc and /dev are vitual directories :) they dont realllly exist. :) [01:35] I've been off this game for like 10+ years [01:35] Fg! ccsm | Gskellig [01:35] RHEL has a weak set of SELINUX policies but can be made stronger [01:35] ! ccsm | Gskellig [01:35] Gskellig: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[01:37] Ah what software [01:37] Seems too messy and bound to fail though, otherwise, people would present it as an option, I guess [01:38] ubuntucork: is there a difference between 'file system' and / [01:38] ubuntucork: not sure which one i changed perms on [01:38] DasEi: [04:37] #security unable to join channel (invite only), unfortunately [01:38] see I'm performing a pentest of sorts [01:38] yep. make the partiton first fill with data and change flag 0 through 9 for the type. like 1=floppy, 2 = mass media, 3 = CD 4=zip disk.......

[01:43] jerry_l: put config in /etc/network/interfaces , restart networking, hope module is on board [01:43] I got openssh patched [01:43] I highly recommand BT5 it is more advanced than you think and will remote scan the system if you want internal scans then then youc an use rkhunter [01:44] im trying to chmod a video driver and its asking me to close X server [01:44] i am having a problem with my USB headset(steelseries siberia v2), i can see it in the input, output, the input picks up the mic sound and my usb controls work, just no sound, all volume is up, sound works on speakers [01:44] built in nic,, where do i get config from? [01:44] what I'm looking for is some kernel module to hide a certain directory as well as all processes ran by a certain id [01:44] Anyone with 11.04.. when you boot do you see a purple screen.. yes or no? [01:44] liminal, yes [01:45] oh well, you guys are ubuntu specific, seems to me [01:45] joopie: make shure all audio settings are visible,, PCM, WAVE, etc Left right front back.......

[01:47] no its a purple screen.. a splash screen i guess. [01:47] but i want to see the output of the grub [01:47] liminal, hold down the shift key on powering on. [01:48] ubuntucork: its running through... giving me a lot of choices... i'm going with the defaults [01:48] ubiquity fails on supported hardware. X crashes. where is this reported? [01:48] nit-wit what does shift do? [01:49] liminal, actual hit e at grub and remove the quiet soplash for text you can do this in a file if you want a text boot always [01:49] anyone know how to override the gnome theme for a single application? [01:49] *actually [01:49] ubuntucork: i'm extra glad I put home in a separate partition now :) [01:49] nit-wit that doesnt fix it [01:50] this isnt a grub setting.. its an ubuntu setting [01:50] im trying to chmod a .run driver file, and its telling to close x server, ive checked google [01:50] *double sigh* [01:50] liminal, fix what? [01:50] whatever causes the stupid purple screen to load infront of the grub output [01:51] ubuntucork: its still sitting at the load screen... do you think its possible that its actually 'doing' something that i should wait for??

[01:55] i just need to be able to write to this directory... i have write access on the gorup and user [01:55] and i'm in the group [01:55] question is i need to have complete control of these computers, Pretty much lock them down, they are being used only for a call center, they pretty much need to be locked down, very little ability... any thing u guys recommend for this [01:56] thomb, you were chastised by the launchpad group, back it up and reinstall, if you wangt a working stytem, is what I would do. [01:56] Eitan: locked down? You mean no solitere, etc? [01:56] *want [01:56] brb [01:57] hehe, qin: correct [01:57] net-wit: "chastised"? What are you talking about? the failure is *in installation* [01:57] no solitair, no internet access bedies 4 speciifed sites. no saving files [01:57] Eitan I take these are debian based [01:57] nit-wit: the system has never bene installed. I'm trying to *install* it. [01:57] crunchybits: have no decided [01:57] Eitan: But most of work is done with browser? [01:57] i havent built the systems yet [01:58] qin: yes just 4 customer services websites, need to block all other sites [01:58] Then you will need to decide the platform first [01:58] nit-wit: and nobody "chastised" me; one person offered the unhelpful suggestions to run memtest and cd check. [01:58] and would like to have rmeote view access to the systems as well [01:58] cruncybits: yes thats right... i like ubuntu, more confortable with it than debian or centos... [01:58] You can use Squid to block and allow sites [01:58] Eitan: what about Redhat Server? [01:58] thats why i am asking if you guys think its a good solution... [01:58] Is there someone who understands ubiquity and X, in natty, around? [01:58] for OS [01:58] CentOS is far better as a server [01:59] right, these are just desktops [01:59] Redhat over priced [01:59] not supposed to be a server [01:59] OK well windows use MMC GPO lock down [01:59] cause if i make this all off a server then i am going to need disaster recovery... so 2 servers and fail over and stuff like that [01:59] Eitan: ah, okay. I read remote access and thought server immediately. My bad. hehe [01:59] Eitan: can be done, start up with minimal installer, choose no soft in first hand, then from that headless install, install ssh and then ask again, step by step [01:59] hehe [02:00] Eitan: internet is simple - iptables, desktop, well, either remove all software or chmod it down, also you can build usesr policies in shadow file, there are 2 projects (for linux internet caffee) in sourceforge too. [02:00] ubuntucork: holy @#$%@#$ my initial incling (sp?) was correct... i did a chmod 755 / and i'm back [02:00] nice [02:00] is there an program that is similar to empathy with support for sip, irc, google talk and give me better irc and sip support [02:00] ok, thats my plan, to make one system perfect [02:00] ubuntucork: i guess the properties window in nautilus isn't recursive???

[02:40] CrunchybitsEatu, do I need to remove anyone from a group [02:40] darkorical: Yes, server and client can be on same machine (so you need extra client like - mpd, mocp - to control server ) [02:40] djzn: that's the default-install, but can change permission oc [02:40] you should email them djzn with screen shots I bet you get a sweet reward [02:40] zaya: i accidentally closed out before I clicked the link so i lost it [02:40] zaya: nevermind [02:40] djzn you can vi groups [02:40] Snakkah: Did you get your NTFS figured out, if not I want you to check something [02:41] I want to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 right now with an encrypted home drive should I backup my files unencrypted and have 11.04 reencrypt them or is there a way to transfer the encrypted files to 11.04 with the same encryption? [02:41] researcher123, you can just shrink the sda1 to the right make a ntfs partion in the unallocated space left. Right click the NTFS then mange flags click boot , reboot to the windows install disc and install to that preformatted ntfs. [02:41] so anybody could help me or is the package already installed [02:41] researcher123, sorry shrink to the left the sda1 [02:41] nit-wit: gparted is not allowing doing that [02:41] qin did I mention that the server is headless (gui-less) [02:41] darkorical: mocp via ssh is easiest solution, mdp do not reqire ssh, but setting is a bit more hectic. [02:41] researcher123, right click the swao then off [02:42] alright looking at mocp now [02:42] leandro_7: Whats up? [02:42] delete them from there or groupdel [02:42] CrunchybitsEatu, i take that if you are in the "adm' group, you CAN browse other limited user directories, right [02:42] researcher123, *swap [02:42] zaya: thanks for the help [02:42] darkorical: package is called moc [02:42] yes and no [02:42] nit-wit: swap off now [02:43] researcher123, should work now if your on a live cd you can't resiuze a partition your using. [02:43] *resize [02:43] s [02:43] nit-wit: i AM ON MY HARD DISK [02:43] qin how about the web interface control aspect of my desire [02:43] hi..... [02:43] BentSpace, the 11.04 installer should detect the encrypted fs [02:43] i just spotted that the Group UI tool in ubuntu is making an adm group, instead of an admin grou [02:44] researcher123, I figured that out no biggie boot a live cd. [02:44] ok dinner time time to apt-get install food [02:44] BentSpace, just use the same username/password as you did before. [02:44] kinda wanting kids to be able to start music ... and while I do think it would be awsome to be able to brag that my 4 year old can use putty .... not sure thats the best idea [02:44] nit-wit: dont have CD but a bootable pen drive will do? I have it [02:44] BentSpace, that being said, whenever you do a clean install, you should backup important data. [02:44] researcher123, yeah just a live envoroment the thumb and cd have gparted already installed [02:44] just put natty on this laptop, have an odd problem - totem always has a black screen while playing. mplayer is fine. if I take a screenshot in totem, screenshot comes out fine [02:45] so it is in display, not decoding [02:45] nemo: running compiz? [02:45] also happens regardless of file [02:45] grs, but if I do a clean install the hard drive will be wiped so how will it see my encrypted files [02:45] aeon-ltd: tested w/ metacity. no change [02:45] nemo, did you install the restricted-extras? [02:46] nit-wit: all that stuff is installed, but as noted, is regardless of codec, and the video frames show up fine in screenshot [02:46] nit-wit: will I need gparted installed on my pen drive before I boot from it? [02:46] BentSpace, sorry, I assumed /home was on a seperate partition/drive [02:46] researcher123, should be there already. [02:46] grs, no worries, maybe it should be [02:46] researcher123, just remember to turn the swap off. [02:47] if I run gstreamer-properties and do a video test - I should see something more than a black screen, right? [02:47] nit-wit: ok.Thanks. I will work it. But what will happen to my GRUB then? Dual boot will be possible? [02:47] nemo: what if you minimize the window or resize does it flicker? [02:47] BentSpace, otherwise yeah, you'lll have to eitehr backup the encrypted files, or decrypt it. [02:47] and then copy [02:47] darkorical: mocp to my knowledge to not posses ready web plugin, but i may be wrong, shoutcast have. [02:48] LAcan: if you add a partiton in amazon, can sudo fdisk -l see the drive ? if so, add it to fsat, an additional mount-command might be needed in rc.local [02:48] BentSpace, but yeah, /home should always be on a seperate partiton, if possible. Same with /etc and /root, if you can. And /var/log if your very security conscious. [02:48] researcher123, you will just have to reload the grub bootloader hold on I will get you a link. Use a Thumb or cd equal to the ubuntu install to reload grub. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [02:48] fstab*, LAcan [02:48] nit-wit: ok [02:48] aeon-ltd: no flicker [02:49] aeon-ltd: but, still under metacity anyway. and w/o accel [02:49] darkorical: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients [02:49] researcher123, if you have a naaty install use a natty loaded thumb that is the most important distro as grub2 has changed.;) [02:50] so. gstreamer-properties video test - does that show something other than a black screen for others? [02:50] I'm wondering if the problem is in v4l2 [02:50] nit-wit: ok [02:50] Can anyone help? I have a Toshiba laptop and the trackpad is listed as a PS/2 Mouse instead of a trackpad.... I have 10.10. I have tried a lot of the solutions online and none seem to work. [02:50] and, if so, if there's a package that might provide another video playback. I can't test v4l2 in mplayer, it just errors with that vo === kreative is now known as Kreative` [02:51] Keegers: just thinking maaaybe might be a BIOS setting? just a guess. perhaps there's a clue in dmesg spew, or xorg log [02:51] how to install vim full in ubuntu? [02:51] vim with everything [02:51] vim/gvim full [02:51] grs, thank you. So easier just to decrypt it now and let 11.04 re-encrypt with a new passcode, right? [02:51] DasEi, i doubt it because u cant mount the amazon cloud directly... in windows u need a third party tool to do it... [02:51] nemo: I checked the BIOS... no setting relating to mouse in it [02:51] diegoviola: there are several vim packages in ubuntu - guessing you probably want gnome-vim plus recommended [02:52] Keegers: try pastebinning your xorg log and dmesg for us to paw over? [02:52] brb [02:52] nit-wit: my Live CD will be a pen drive which was created using ISO of 11.04. will it do? [02:52] does someone mind checking video test in gstreamer-properties to tell me what you see? I'd like to find out if a black screen is abnormal. [02:52] diegoviola: when in doubt ubuntu software center [02:52] LAcan: I don't use amazon, but found a according tut for centos, so why not ? [02:53] nemo: I hate to be a newbie, but can you give the commands you want the output for? [02:53] researcher123, oh yes . [02:53] Keegers: dmesg > ~/Desktop/dmesg.log [02:53] nit-wit: thanks [02:53] cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop [02:53] Keegers: then open those in your editor of choice and copy into pastebin.ubuntu.com [02:53] researcher123, no prblem. [02:54] Can anyone tell me why my text mode is only 64 columns wide and how to fix it (i.e. get it to 80 or so)? [02:55] karatorian: your video card isn't autosensed by kernel. you might have some luck w/ manually setting the grub values. [02:55] nemo: http://pastebin.com/mSaXH8f3 [02:55] zaya: the gvim i have is tiny, i need the full one [02:55] karatorian: in the prompt? (no X?) you need to set the framebuffer resolution [02:55] Restarting web server apache2 [02:55] /etc/host.conf: line 4: bad command `127.0.0.1 test123.com' [02:55] ... waiting /etc/host.conf: line 4: bad command `127.0.0.1 test123.com' [02:55] Any ideas? [02:56] aeon-ltd: Yes in the prompt. X works fine. [02:56] diegoviola: tiny how. and did you install gnome-vim ? [02:56] yes [02:56] tacotruck123 you need to add that to /etc/hosts not /etc/host.conf === Zer0_ is now known as Zer000 [02:56] karatorian: I assume you mean at the VTs - which means you are in legacy mode... look into framebuffer for linux [02:56] karatorian: and the kernel options for it [02:56] Herbs: oh fail :) thx [02:57] aeon-ltd: The text mode screen resolution seems to be quite high, but only the top right corner is used. [02:57] and. there might be some clue in your dmesg [02:57] oh. wait. that's unusual... [02:57] still might not be using the framebuffer though :) [02:58] Keegers: unfortunately your dmesg has been filled up w/ that spew from your HD [02:58] Keegers: might get better info if you did a reboot, to get the stuff from startup - can look at your xorg log first though [02:58] nemo: OK [02:59] test [02:59] would someone please launch gstreamer-properties for me, and tell me what the video test shows for you. is it something more than a black screen? [02:59] nemo: Where is the xorg log? [02:59] in fact, I'm not going to answer any more questions until someone does this one simple thing for me :-p [02:59] If I reinstall 11.04 using my existing 10.10 /home partition, are there any concerns/things to watch for [03:00] nemo: I got a menu box [03:00] bkfitz: your user configs may be slightly outdated; unlikely any huge problems though [03:00] er, but I am vm'ing 10.4 [03:00] zen933k: um. when clicking on the test button on the video tab?? [03:00] nemo, looks normal here. [03:00] zen933k: you should get a popup w/ something [03:00] gracias... and i just use the same manual partition install option like I did w/ 10.10 yes [03:00] nemo: I get a Multimedia Systems Selector [03:00] nit-wit: and what does normal look like? seriously. [03:00] nemo: Yes, [03:01] nemo: the only graphics related thing lsmod shows is i915 ... does that mean I'm using the framebuffer or not? [03:01] nemo, the screen opens and the tests work [03:01] nit-wit: I just want to know if a black window on launching test is not normal, so I can infer this problem w/ totem is in v4l2 and look further into that. [03:01] ok... [03:01] right. on to keegers. [03:02] nemo, I have that same setting and O get collor line =s on tthe test. [03:02] grs, anybody, what is the advantage of a separate home partition and why doesn't Ubuntu set one up by default? [03:02] nemo: I ran both tests on the MSS and it looks good. No black screens [03:03] BentSpace: less confusing to user, adv - easy reinstall/distro hopping [03:03] Keegers: aaaas I said before, /var/log/Xorg.0.log :-p [03:03] bentspace the seperate /home is for if the system needs reinstalling and ubuntu doesent use it by default as its for Linux noobs# [03:04] BentSpace: if you upgrade, your personal data is safe from system changes, same if you somehow bork the os [03:04] Herbs: also useful if you want to share a home between different computers, or just need more space :) [03:04] Herbs: or for certain backup setups [03:04] nemo true [03:04] Herbs: and ubuntu isn't just for noobs :-p [03:05] so is everyone recommending 11.04 or should i stick with 10.10 [03:05] nemo not so true :) [03:05] half my systems are ubuntu, and I've been using linux for 15 years [03:05] !home | BentSpace [03:05] BentSpace: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [03:05] Actually, the seperate /home is so that if, on a multiuser system without quotas, normal users can't fill up the system disk. [03:05] is a great distro for getting things setup rapidly [03:05] karatorian: right. that's what I said :-p [03:05] bkfitz_: So long as you're not going to cry about Unity. [03:05] nemo not saying its only for noobs just that its designed for easier use [03:05] karatorian: that's one reason. but also useful for NFS mounting [03:05] Use 11.04. I have it heavily customized and it works amazing. [03:05] zem933k: i can always install gnome... [03:06] is there a way to save the size and position of all my windows and quickly switch between different "profiles"? [03:06] using "Ubuntu Classic" btw [03:06] Download Docky and it can give it a nice Windows 7-ish feel with the bottom toolbar. Also a useful replacement for the Gnome Window list panenel. [03:06] bkfitz_: I personally am a "meh" on 11.04 [03:06] bkfitz_: I'm happy with 11.04 on my netbook, and unity is fine. Little bulkier by default [03:06] just worried about compatibility with other software... mysql apache php etc [03:06] bkfitz: 11 has it's perks. Seems to be more geared for windows/mac users moving into linux than hard core linux users [03:06] nemo: true [03:06] bkfitz_: definitely suggest using classic - although it does have more up to date Intel driver, which can help if you are trying things like webgl [03:06] bkfitz_: also updated fglrx - but you can get that from ATI [03:07] I find it to have been a bit buggier than some older ubuntu releases [03:07] "classic"? [03:07] perhaps due to unity taking up their time [03:07] nemo, here are two screen shots to see the settngs and the test, http://imagebin.org/155351 http://imagebin.org/155352 [03:07] What's not to like about a friendly looking GUI though? Does extra work really make you feel that much more badass? [03:07] bkfitz_: "classic" is the standard gnome 2 - unity is irritating [03:07] yeah [03:07] ok [03:07] nit-wit: thanks [03:07] i love gnome... worried i might not like unity [03:07] nemo, that seemed more helpful no problem.;) [03:07] Centallith: Unity is unintuitive, annoying to use, gets rid of my applets, and is generally a pain in the ass [03:07] howdy all. I made three partitions of my drive, the first holds the OS, third data, second empty. I'd like to install another OS on the second, but am worried because its ext4 (OS supports ntfs AFAIK). Is there anyway I can change the filesystem type? [03:08] Centallith: but I've ranted enough on the Unity Sucks launchpad bug (which got renamed recently) [03:08] Nemo, Try installing Docky and get it working like a Window list. It's how I repurposed it. [03:08] bkfitz its Linux you can use any desktop you want [03:08] econdudeawesome: Yeah, that's easy. [03:08] karatorian: without wiping everything else? [03:08] bkfitz: goes back to the windows/mac users -> linux. If you like gnome it'll take patience familiarizing with unity [03:08] Herbs: that's what I'm thinking... and i don't want to be the guy that never tries unity just bc i love gnome... so i'm torrenting 11 now [03:08] econdudeawesome, what do you want to install? [03:08] econdudeawesome: Is there anything on the partition you're looking to use? [03:09] karatorian: no [03:09] Herbs: Why use ubuntu unless you like their branding and packaging? Debian is a cleaner if you know gnu/linux... [03:09] nit-wit: need windows for some work software (doesn't work with wine and virtualbox) [03:09] econdudeawesome: Then changing the filesystem type should be no problem. Chances are you can just tell the installer to use that partition and it'll take care of it for you. [03:09] thanks karatorian [03:10] econdudeawesome, use the gparted partitioner to turn that ext4 to a NTFS with a bootflag and it needs to be aprimary partion=outside of a extended. [03:10] nemo: Got the location of the xorg files? [03:11] bkfitz_ yeah I know what your saying my main issue is the way gnome is going Ive never liked any other desktops even though kde was the first I used back on mandrake Im thinking if gnome shell is poor not used it yet that I will be using run level 3 although that doesent seem possible in Ubuntu so back to Slackware I think [03:11] Keegers: uh. I told you twice [03:11] 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop [03:11] 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop [03:11] nemo: sorry you did [03:11] 21:53 < nemo> cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop [03:11] ok back from dinner whats up with Gnome [03:11] pp[s [03:11] econdudeawesome, I would not trust the MS installer here, if it is windows 7 it will build two partitions and make 1 or 3 parttion unallocated. [03:11] oops. sorry about the multiple pastes [03:12] I room [03:12] I'm also kind of irritated about 11.04 breaking my X paste on the touchpad [03:12] I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet [03:12] I need to install flash... which one do I download? [03:12] HOw do I install it [03:12] apparently they tried to get clever about when to disable the 2 button middle-click, and haven't been quite that successful [03:12] plenty of touchpads have been screwed up [03:12] The Flash plugin from the Ubuntu software center worked for me. [03:12] Xoepxx you running a 64 bit os and borswer ? [03:12] crunchybitseatu: I like your exit: sudo apt-get install food :-) [03:12] browser* [03:12] Herbs: I like KDE also, but was converted by Ubuntu... every Slackware, Mandrake, Fedora install I ever did was KDE, but tried gnome w/ UB and love it [03:12] no [03:12] ty [03:13] CrunchybitsEatu: 32 but [03:13] firefox [03:13] bkfitz_: Why not Kubuntu? [03:13] nit-wit: will it overwrite my entire drive? [03:13] nemo: http://pastebin.com/KaJ395p6 [03:13] xoepxx, install the flash aid add on in fireflox or the restricted-extras [03:13] Xoepxx then just go to adobe and get the 32 bit version and install it [03:13] econdudeawesome, what is the MS install and is it a sstaright install disc. [03:13] I'm having issues with my Ethernet connection on Ubuntu 11.04. [03:13] or you can get Chromium which has it already [03:14] nit-wit: windows 7, sstaright? [03:14] Grean what issue explain [03:14] hi [03:14] Honestly, my only complaint with Unity (Just now realizing this) is the floating scrollbar. What a terrible idea that was. [03:14] Centallith: I'm with you [03:14] zen93k: I've tried it... and Mint too, but like how eaaaasssy UB is to get rolling, lots of online support... etc. In the office I call it "linux for history majors"... of course I'm the idiot who ran a chmod -R / tonight by mistake :) [03:14] Centallith: its not that bad IMO [03:15] Keegers: hm. mind using pastebin.ubuntu.com ? [03:15] hi my han 0 function key is not working any idea? [03:15] Keegers: the one you are using is making me fill out some bot detection and the morons apparently don't know how to persist session without cookies or something [03:15] nemo: Try again... the page thought I was a bot [03:15] Keegers: I don't feel like whitelisting them [03:15] econdudeawesome, sorry for the spelling, yeah if you daon't prebuild that partition as a ntfs and put a boot flag so the disc recognizes it and install with a custom install you are likely to braek the partition table . [03:15] ok... [03:15] If I had a nickel for every time I dragged something important off a directory into a desktop I'd be one rich user. [03:15] nemo: OK [03:15] Keegers: but seriously, pastebin.ubuntu.com is quite nice [03:15] anyway. it loaded now. [03:15] * nemo reads [03:15] Eth0(my motherboard's ethernet port) can't connect to the internet...it keeps trying but never connects. [03:15] bkfitz_: I suppose. I used Kubuntu for a while and never had any real issues getting setup. Plasma looks so much better than gnome [03:16] hi my han 0 function key is not working, how can I do? [03:16] nit-wit: used gparted to make ntfs--how do I add flag, and what flag do I need to add? [03:16] Grean you there or we lose on that nic [03:17] econdudeawesome, bootflag is a right click on the NTFS-manage flags click boot. [03:17] still here [03:17] bkfitz_ that is so true the reason Ive been trying ubuntu is because its the best to work out of the box and because been using at work because they have ati gfx cards one thing I like about ubuntu although its quite alot different to the distros Im used to although 8.04 was good as it wasnt as customed [03:17] nit-wit: and thats it? Seems too easy! :-) [03:17] Grean Your nic issue what up [03:17] How do I export contacts from Evolution? [03:18] anyone installed from a usb drive... i don't have a blank dvd at home? [03:18] is it dropping or not coming up or not holding IP [03:18] econdudeawesome, it is when you know what to do make d=sure you choose the custom install on the W7 disc and install to that partition. [03:18] bkfitz--all the time [03:18] *sure [03:18] from iso? [03:18] thanks nit-wit [03:18] does it have to be a blank usb? [03:18] econdudeawesome, your welcome. [03:18] bkfitz_ Ive installed from a usb pen drive [03:18] bkfitz_: kind of. You use UNetBootin or Ubuntu's tool to move the ISO to the thumb drive. Makes it bootable also [03:19] Keegers: xinput list > ~/Desktop/xinput.txt [03:19] CrunchybitsEatu I can't get eth0 to connect to the internet most of the time. I connect it to my laptop which has is setup with Internet Connection Sharing. [03:19] econdudeawesome, that partition has to be a primary it is correct? [03:19] hi my han 0 function key is not working, how can I do? [03:19] +1 for unetbootin [03:19] FYI USB drive need to support Bootable options [03:19] Keegers: can I see that one? xorg log just shows PS/2 Generic. [03:19] You could always blank a disk out and then use it as a floppy. Crappy movies always work. (My install disk USED to be "Finding Nemo") [03:19] not all usb drive can be set to boot form [03:19] from* [03:19] nit-wit: I believe it already is? I only know "regular" or "logical" (for swap, right?) [03:19] heh ... no at least with unetbootin accidentally had PS3 update on the same drive as the ubuntu installer once :) [03:20] Keegers: might be nice to see full dmesg input at some point, next time you have a chance to reboot [03:20] nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613556/ [03:20] ok then I'll reboot now [03:20] "ubuntus tool"? [03:20] econdudeawesome, lets see a screen shot of gparted I suspect you have put that partition in a extended that wont work. [03:20] Keegers: yeah. shows up as generic there too [03:20] oh well [03:21] nit-wit: where do you want it [03:21] ! imagebin [03:21] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [03:21] hi all! --- i'm trying to make gwibber to launch on system start so I don't have to click through to sign in....the information i can find online says go to edit>preferences>start on login but there is no such option in the preferences....can I just add a gwibber entry into my startup applications? [03:21] i'ts a 32Gb corsair [03:22] bkfitz_: there is a "Create a USB startup disk" entry under System->Administration here I think it's named something else in more recent versions :) [03:22] econdudeawesome, just being sure here things get missed on the IIRC, you see the bots link, eh [03:22] "startup disk creator" maybe [03:23] yeah something like that [03:23] i'll just use unetbootin [03:23] bkfitz there is also an app you can download === ticaozinho is now known as tdutra [03:23] nit-wit: http://imagebin.org/155354 [03:24] econdudeawesome, you are good to go. [03:24] dio525i: yes, you can just add it to startup applications (that's pretty much what the edit/preferences/start on login option does) [03:24] nit-wit: how would I know if it was extended versus primary? [03:24] nit-wit: another flag?

[03:26] trism: also does gwibber-h start gwibber hidden to the indicator bar? [03:26] nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613559/ [03:26] oops sorry it is but it doesent need to be as you can have 3 logical parts [03:26] Herbs: what do you mean [03:26] no ubuntu image boots on my epia M10000.... [03:26] that's a 586 i think [03:26] sucks [03:26] dio525i: if you add: gwibber-service in startup applications it will [03:26] Keegers: you don't have a regular mouse plugged in, right? just the touchpad? [03:27] thanks yall! [03:27] Alright... wish me luck. Startup Disk Creator seemed to work. Unity here i come. [03:27] nemo: just the touchpad [03:27] Centallith: Hangul key is not working in ubuntu [03:27] econdudeawesome, as Pres Lincoln so famously said "your free to go" [03:27] I meant primary sorry im drunk [03:27] meum looking at something [03:27] trism: thank you! saved me some confusing googling [03:27] dio525i: you're welcome [03:28] I don't know why you guys are ignore me.. I'm so sad.. [03:28] Keegers: what's your laptop model? [03:28] I have no clue how to fix that. [03:28] maum: Looking at something, sorry spelled the name wrong [03:28] My eth0(motherboard) connection can't connect to the internet anymore. [03:28] ok [03:28] Keegers: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316361 [03:28] nemo: C650D [03:29] Grean: how many ports does your board have? :) [03:29] hi, what software can I use to view JPEG location information? [03:29] How do you reset and fix the flash player on ubuntu 10.04. I have a old computer that can play 720p video content around 20 - 25 fps. As soon as I upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to the lastest packages, the computer couldn't do 720p content. The fram rate droped to an average of <= 10. The flash player I've used was: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, flashplugin-installer, and flashplugin-nonfree. [03:29] in the exif metadata [03:29] Keegers: might be failed detection of this touchpad - looks like the touchpad isn't going out of the way to identify itself as such, at least as dmesg suggests it [03:29] Khisanth 1( but it has a additional card that I lack linux drivers for. [03:29] Keegers: you can try manually configuring your Xorg.conf - kind of annoying, but... [03:29] but most people don't have a directly connection to the Internet ... [03:29] Grean what brand is the card [03:30] maum, here is a older bug report with a fix. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/30848 [03:30] Ubuntu bug 30848 in linux (Ubuntu) "Korean/latin key(Hangul key) doesn't work." [Medium,Won't fix] [03:30] Keegers: you're using natty right? [03:30] Grean: usually it has to go through a modem and that often involves other stuff like pppoe or dhcp depending on the ISP [03:30] An error occurred: Could not retrieve the required installation files For more information, please see the log file: c:\users\alex\appdata\local\temp\wubi-10.04.1-rev190.log [03:31] let's check those out [03:31] nemo: No 10.10... natty crashed on me [03:31] Grean: not suggesting anything, just trying to clear up the situation [03:31] Keegers: mmm. detection might be improved in the newer kernel [03:31] daditos just install it properly dont use that windows 8888 [03:31] Khis is Grean talking about a modem or a network card [03:31] No idea what eth0 is to be quite frank, but eth1 is supposed to be a Linksys card that shows up as something else. [03:31] Keegers: how did natty crash? was it on logging in, or earlier? [03:32] herbs, I'm not quite sure I follow [03:32] ok that is network card [03:32] Keegers: anyway, guess you can always do manual config w/ xorg.conf. [03:32] Grean: what happened? did your net just stop [03:32] daditos install using the cd instead of running wubi [03:32] eth0 Grean is Ethernet adapter 0 zero is the first card in your setup [03:32] nemo: it crashed anytime I did not have my Ethernet cord plugged in [03:32] Regardless, I don't use eth1 in Ubuntu, just Windows. My PC is a dual boot. [03:32] I don't have a CD Drive, herbs, and cant' boot it from a USB so I was installing it with Daemon Tools [03:32] nemo: I tried updating my xorg.conf but it didnt work [03:33] Natty crashed for you too? With mine it almost seemed as if it reverted to an earlier version of Ubuntu, and then eventually became unresponsive. It was a pain in the end because I needed to use my Beta install disk to re-install. [03:33] daditos ah ok [03:33] Keegers: what does the entry look like that you added in your xorg.conf ? [03:33] Keegers: there is a sample in that thread I mentioned, where someone specified the touchpad driver for their mouse [03:33] According to the syslog, the DHCPv4 Request has timed out. [03:34] Keegers: the lil' snippet w/ InputDevice and synaptics - to explicitly load the driver, even though the mouse is just detected as PS/2 [03:34] grean set your ip up on your router and manually config your network settings [03:35] An error occurred: Could not retrieve the required installation files For more information, please see the log file: c:\users\alex\appdata\local\temp\wubi-10.04.1-rev190.log LOG: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/4i7OAxrs5U7NCrYZJgFq/ Any ideas what it might be?

[03:38] Daditos: I would suggest manually downloading the iso yourself [03:38] Daditos: then pointing wubi at it [03:39] Daditos: since I'm not too familiar w/ wubi I don't know why it is failing to do the download itself [03:39] Nemo: Some USB Drives can not be set to Boot its designed that way,, some will allow you to boot from [03:39] Keegers: yes [03:39] jamiewan eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr (Mac address) inet6 addr: (address) Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [03:39] brb [03:39] jamiewan then it also lists the loopback.

[03:40] ok so eth0 is your interface, thats what you want. do what herbs said [03:40] does anyone know how I can recover my IRC nick registered to my Email? [03:40] CrunchybitsEatu: it can boot off usb cdrom, but not usb flash [03:40] where would python documentation html be after i have downloaded from package manager? [03:40] nemo: no joy.... [03:40] CrunchybitsEatu: btw, if you ever get the ASUS home server - it does run linux *and* it has a VGA connector hidden under the plastic in the back :D [03:41] Herbs From the middle PC in the ICS setup or the Router at the far end? [03:41] Keegers: can I see your xorg log again? [03:41] Keegers: also, show me your xorg.conf [03:41] just to make sure it is trying correctly [03:41] I'll look into downloading the iso and pointing it with wubi, what do you mean by pointing it?' [03:41] where would python documentation html be after i have downloaded from package manager? [03:41] grean login to the router via web interface [03:41] i have a little problem, any help is greatly appreciated [03:41] Daditos: I've never used wubi, but I understand in the wizard you can specify a location for the ISO [03:42] Isv: what is the problem? [03:42] Nemo Running Dell PE 1950s with XenServer and a Netapp FA740 love having access to Ewaste [03:42] Daditos: like, you can use mint or whatever. wubi doesn't really care (supposedly - haven't tried it) [03:42] ! ask | lsv [03:42] lsv: 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. :-) [03:42] brb [03:42] nemo: xorg.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613563/ [03:42] ok, I'll check it out [03:42] Keegers: if that's the entire file, it is invalid [03:42] Keegers: you didn't close the section for input device [03:43] also is missing some options [03:43] soooo, hopefully you just didn't copy/paste it all [03:43] nemo: Sorry its not [03:43] I downloaded a zip file that was broken into *.z0[1-6] and one *.zip file. How can I unzip the file? [03:43] The whole network setup is PC set to defaults to Laptop set to network sharing to wireless network on router to web. [03:44] nemo: xorg.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613564/ [03:44] lsv: just like a regular zip, start with first part [03:44] !info unzip [03:44] unzip (source: unzip): De-archiver for .zip files. In component main, is optional. Version 6.0-4ubuntu1 (natty), package size 173 kB, installed size 412 kB [03:44] Unzipping a file is easy using 7zip. Download it in the Ubuntu software center. [03:44] lsv: huh. never seen that before personally... just wondering. if you do cat *.z0* > test.zip - does that work? [03:44] sounds like DasEi is familiar with it before [03:44] n/m. [03:44] thought only rar had those [03:44] :) [03:45] nemo: xorg.log http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613565/ [03:45] thats the problem the *.zip is not the header file of the zip archive [03:45] lsv: as I'm lazy, also see : [03:45] !info unp [03:45] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre5 (natty), package size 14 kB, installed size 120 kB [03:45] also, I'm an idiot, I had 2 isos 10.04 and 11.04 and was trying to install the former [03:46] Anyway, it shouldn't have failed [03:46] Keegers: change "mouse1" to "mouse0" in your config [03:46] Are there no 64 bit factory ubuntu CDs? I can't find any in the canonical shop [03:46] Keegers: the xorg log seems to say that is where it is seeing the mouse [03:46] lsv: once installed unp, only need the different packers, rest will be handled then [03:46] Keegers: guess you could try the combined input device too, but that could break things if you add an external mouse :) [03:46] Grean: i dunno maybe try sudo dhclient eth0 [03:47] nemo: OK brb [03:47] when I used the file command on the *.zip file it says that is a data file [03:47] grean is there an option to add a device to your router? [03:47] but when I use the file command on *.z01 it says that is a .zip file [03:48] hi [03:49] nemo: Nothing... [03:49] Keegers: ehm welll, let's see that log again [03:49] Bl4ckJ4gg, what's going on. [03:49] Herbs router is a WRT54G [03:50] wanna see if it at least tried to load the driver [03:50] Once before I did what nemo said but there were some warnings [03:50] grean I aint a networks man so dont know what router that is sorry [03:50] lsv: maybe the .zip one needs to be first or something (or last) [03:50] haha parted troubles thats whats going on here , :) and overthere? [03:50] Herbs it's a Linksys...ungodly common blue box. [03:50] lsv: like if you cat them all. but. yeah. totally clueless as to this. I just know how to do that w/ rar unrar foo.rar [03:50] well. unrar x foo.rar [03:51] hi, anyone managed to fix the issue with the out of date flash plugin in chromium??? [03:51] jamiewan it says it Sucessfully claimed IP Address 169.254.8.70 [03:51] nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613566/ [03:51] grean ok so your logged into the interface? can you not see an option to add devices? [03:51] Grean: explain your setup again abit more and what machine are you on [03:51] Bl4ckJ4gg, hanging, everythings good. Is it a gparted problem? [03:52] Keegers: one last one to try please [03:52] Keegers: try changing mouse0 to event6 [03:52] Keegers: as I read the log, that seems to be where it actually setup a mouse [03:52] no gparted just crashed , thats more what caused the problem , not really the problem itself ... [03:52] jamiewan I am typing this from my laptop which is connected over wireless. The PC with the issues is connected to this Laptop over ethernet. [03:53] nemo: OK brb [03:53] right. on to figuring out my v4l2 prob [03:53] This holds true to all spanned Zip files you find the .zip or .rar unzip it with gzip or unzip it will automatically follow the chain [03:53] nemo: I am only logging off... should I be rebooting? [03:53] Grean: try to other pc now after the ip was reclaimed [03:53] Bl4ckJ4gg, are you showing unallocated partition's, or a no boot? [03:53] Keegers: pretty sure logging off restarts X :) [03:53] nemo: kk just making sure [03:54] nemo: what I did was find the header archive using the file command, then change the rest of the files to *.z02, *.z03 and so on, then cat all the files together into another .zip file [03:54] Keegers: I *think* gdm spawns an X session, and so does each login [03:54] lsv: lol. which file was the header in? :) [03:54] expaded a partition (half full with paq8 achrives) made it twice as big to copy both archive partitions on one disk (easier to backup), parted crashed half way some where [03:54] lsv: that's amusing. [03:54] grean if its got an IP then all you need to do is setup the network settings on your box Im used to RedHat so whatever the equivalent of system-config-network is just set the ip assigned and the gateway as your router ip and dns as the same [03:55] yep from the other machine tho [03:55] i know everyting exept where the data ends on the disk and where it starts again , els i'd be running dd right now, and just cut the empty space out :P [03:55] nemo: the *.z01, but I thought it would be on the .zip, it is weird. [03:55] lsv: huh. so the cat should have worked then. [03:55] lsv: since it should have added 'em to commandline in that order, w/ 01 first [03:56] oh well. at least you got it working [03:56] lsv: was this zip off a torrent or something? [03:56] Bl4ckJ4gg, are you familiar with testdisc [03:56] is there a way to set terminator as default terminal [03:56] nemo: here what happend http://pastebin.com/GrcbN3TF it was a direct download broken into parts [03:56] jep :) that is what got me the start sector and end sector of the original partition [03:57] nit-wit: testdisk [03:57] Bl4ckJ4gg, I wondered about that. [03:57] MGMT: open the Preferred Applications, find the section for terminals, terminator probably is there [03:58] nemo: I remember that I did this some time ago, but I forgot how I did it, that time there were no errors [03:58] its not that the partiton is gone ... its just that the data is split in two and (yeah the system cant recognise the fs anymore ) [03:58] tensorpudding thanks! [03:58] MGMT: if not, just select custom and put in terminator, i think [03:59] MGMT: you might have to set terminal preferences to custom command then add the terminator command to the entry box [03:59] nit-wit: hm. /dev/video0 appears to be the UVC camera - that could be why I'm getting a black screen on v4l2 playback [03:59] tensorpudding no it worked, its all gravy now lol [03:59] nit-wit: if the partiton wasn't 200gb now id run cat and find the end of the datastream myself (was copieng in blocks of 8mb ... ) [04:00] nit-wit: it is trying to write to a camera, which can only read :) === Israfel_ is now known as Israfel [04:00] nemo: still no luck [04:00] Keegers: um. can I see the log again? [04:00] Keegers: I still haven't seen "Synaptic" in the log [04:00] (when loading the mouse) [04:01] Herbs I can't seem to connect to my router...the 192.168.1.1 keeps routing out to my DNS... [04:01] I'm back... and already I hate Unity ;) [04:01] think the main problem is that the data on the disk are split paq8 files, pretty hard to destinguish from /dev/urandom i guess ... [04:01] bkfitz, I've heard that before. (Ub10.04 and :) [04:01] nemo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613569/ [04:01] grean logging into your router does it have an option for dns sometimes theymuse you isp dns servers [04:01] but seriously... things seem slower in 11 and I'm not digging Unity right off the bat... just too much in my face and Mac'y [04:02] Bl4ckJ4gg, I have no idea where to go I have everything I have cloned for just these sort of occasions. So I haven't had to do any recovery. [04:02] Is there a liveCD of the new system with gnome? [04:02] Keegers: odd. I see no acknowledgement of your xorg change! [04:02] I'll give it until tomorrow... then I'm back to Gnome unless it grows on me [04:02] I would likesome help. I have a 2nd drive plugged in. I want to copy its contents to my main drive. It has ubuntu on it. The last time I tried there was something about permissions. What is the proper procedure, before I mess things up. [04:02] Keegers: eh. dunno. try a restart I guess :-/ otherwise, gotta say, I'm out of ideas [04:02] Keegers: root cause though seems to be mouse not getting ID'd as a touchpad correctly [04:03] jah stupid thing is that i did this to simplify making backups :) [04:03] tripelb: yep same :-) [04:03] nemo: Nope... ok I'll try a reboot [04:03] keegers reboot this is Linux not windows [04:03] jamiewan, maybe I should try ubuntuforums then [04:03] tripelb: are you wanting to copy the ENTIRE drive (like an exact clone) or what? [04:03] with natty cant you choose gnome classic at log in? [04:04] jamiewan: you can [04:05] jamiewan: under the shutdownbutton in unity , you can access the setting [04:05] Anybody know about ubuntu 11.4 new Blank screen issue ?? [04:05] KM0201, really I want to put the data on my new huge hard drive and off the ancient 10G drive it is on. ditto for a 40G. ditto for a windows 120G. BUT-copying the entire drive would be ok just not trying to duplicate the useraccounts. I'm getting all my ducks in a row. After this, the backup DVD's I have. Arg then the work begins. [04:05] DasEi: sorry dude wasn't for me, i'm on lucid [04:05] I've been having python problems for the past [indeterminate amount of time]. "ipython" fails with "ImportError: No module named testing", and "import scipy" fails with "ImportError: No module named multiarray". Halp? [04:05] screw unity [04:05] !classic | jamiewan [04:05] jamiewan: 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. [04:05] Aborady: try the boot option: nomodeset if you are getting black screen at boot [04:06] Aborady: for the same issue with nvidia chip, use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [04:06] thanks DasEi that answers one of my questions. . . re having a liveCD with gnome instead of unity. [04:06] i was thinking of trying natty but after all the bad press i wont bother i dont think [04:06] jamiewan: anyway, gnome is still there, and , on a non-productive vm, gnome 3 behaves fine so far in natty [04:06] tripelb: clonezilla might do what you want it to. [04:06] aborady no but suspect its something with the new desktop mstart single user mode from grum and start gnome and then startx if it dont work from single userr from grub modify the default boot record using e [04:07] jamiewan: you aren't forced to use unity in Natty, it can be just like lucid [04:07] yeah i know [04:07] i get the blank screen after login , i see nothing but the violet background , no panels , mo icons , no mouse clicks [04:07] and type init=/bin/bash at the end of the image beeing booted vmlinuz [04:08] gnome is the same [04:09] i tried to edit xorg.conf i commented out glx load [04:09] just seems that i get to a situation where everything works, all peripherals the lot, then along comes another distro, and the mind is always in flux with options [04:09] nit-wit: It's not really that bad i still have the original files no work has gone lost. but damn i'll try anyting before i'm gonne start paq-archiving 2 years work (or 40GB in Paq8px, you can imagine how long it takes ) [04:09] Aborady: log in to gnome classic, then get updated. If you need proprietary drivers then get them installed there [04:09] dnome classic also not work [04:09] nemo: no joy... thanks for the help [04:09] aborady have you tried to use it from proper single user mode though you dont need to login then [04:09] jamiewan: there are thousands of distros. Check distrowatch [04:10] ctrl+alt+f2 is working i did all updats [04:10] Aborady: what video chip do you use? [04:10] and apt-get install nvidia-current [04:10] Nvidia gforce [04:10] Nvidia gforce 7050 [04:11] Aborady: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see the nvidia driver in use (look for 'driver=') [04:11] yes [04:11] aborady try what I said [04:12] ubuntu noobs :) [04:12] ActionParsnip: yes i'm sure, i was a windblows man up till hardy, so i'm only new but will never go back, gaming is the only vice whice forces me to use it sometimes lol [04:12] nit-wit: do you know (or anyone else who reads it ) a tool, script ,command that sort of virualizes your hd like the defragment tool did in win95 [04:12] Aborady: try adding this text to ~/.config/autostart/compiz.desktop http://paste.ubuntu.com/613574/ [04:13] actioparsnip wtf is compiz going to have to do with it? [04:13] What does this do? http://paste.ubuntu.com/613575/ (When I boot this OS that I'm trying to install, theres 2 options, I need to swap the 2 options so the second option is first by default, any ideas? [04:13] jamiewan: depends what games you play ;) I game happily in Linux when I want to [04:13] Bl4ckJ4gg, I don't, I have j=hardly used MS.;) [04:13] herbs: how can i user mode from grub ? [04:13] herbs : i cant do that [04:14] ActionParsnip: not battlefield3 and the like tho i'm sure [04:14] aborady press e when grub loads that will let you modify the boot comand..... [04:14] jamiewan: look at penumbra &, urban terror [04:14] i never heard of linux back in 95 so i used win 95 and dos :P [04:14] ActionParsnip: wine is good for me with some stuff and urban terror is a bit of fun thats it [04:14] aborady then at the end of the line pointing to the vmlinuz image add init=/bin/bash [04:15] and unix was for rich people and companys well thats what i beleved anyway [04:15] herbs : then ? [04:15] aborady that will put you in proper single user mode then type service gdm start && startx [04:15] jamiewan: penumbra is damn scary and well wirth the cash [04:15] Bl4ckJ4gg, I started late on a return to college at midlife, found a local recycler they just hppened to kick them out with Ubuntu. [04:16] *happened [04:16] hi! i have a problem with my tablet pc. when i touch the screen the input gets accepted but after then the cursor is jumping to the upper left of the screen [04:16] ActionParsnip: ahhh the cash thats the rub [04:16] aborady you might have to use something else than gdm but ls /etc/init.d and look for gdm whatever [04:17] herbs : i'm on windows now i'll reboot to try what u said and get back to you [04:17] aborady cool [04:17] is there anyway to access irc from terminal ? [04:17] :D [04:17] jamiewan: battlefield3 is 30 GBP on amazon... [04:17] hehe , ow yeah first time i used linux was still red had 8.0 , and next thing was amusing myself with trying to install gentoo for the next 6weeks ... eventually got it togheter :P [04:18] Is there no cheaper support package for Ubuntu then the $109 one per installation? [04:18] keithclark: you can get it free here, the forums and launchpad [04:19] is it okay to just hand out Ubuntu CDs? [04:19] c_smith: absolutely [04:19] ActionParsnip, not the same. Pay money, demand results kind of thing. [04:19] k [04:19] I didnt know you could pay for support. [04:19] teage, sure you can! [04:20] ActionParsnip: still more expensive and more travelling about, versus 20min torrent straight to ya box, that might sound like i'm tight but not so, had plenty years of forking out money for software and games, then along came my ubuntu turnaround, and welcome to the world of free stuff [04:20] nit-wit: yes i'm the kind of guy that still hates sudo :P , first thing i do after ubuntu install is enable the root account, and you have a bleeding edge debian install with a large community :P [04:20] Where did you guys hide settings in Unity? [04:20] Also the applications menu. [04:20] keithclark. why would you want to pay for it when you can get free. whats the advantage for paid support on ubuntu? [04:20] Bl4ckJ4gg, you.. you.. you.. rebel.;) [04:20] jamiewan did you hear of Linux before ubuntu lol [04:21] nit-wit haha :P [04:21] Why there is no "aptitude" command in ubuntu 11.04 ? the package is quit ? [04:21] jamiewan: software sold via torrents? [04:21] yillkid: apt-get install aptitude, it's still there. [04:21] yillkid: there is, its just not installed by default [04:21] teage, You can then expect results. In fact, demand they be solved [04:21] maurer_: apt-get needs sudo [04:21] oh? why? aptitude is very good for use . [04:21] ActionParsnip: I'm sure someone asking for aptitude knows that. [04:21] maurer_: assume nothing [04:22] aptitude isnt installed by default wtf this is based on Debian? [04:22] ActionParsnip: i don't doiwnload lots compared to many, and i do contribute to here be it small and work with a friend whose visually impaired on vinux and a few other things [04:22] yillkid: if yuo like it, install it [04:22] Aptitude is useful to see what is installed and what failed to install [04:22] jamiewan: i don't follow [04:22] CrunchybitsEatu: I can do that and never used aptitude [04:22] Herbs: yes but couldnt be bothered and like 95 percent of the world had the wool pulled over my eyes with windows and marketing i suppose [04:23] * maurer_ would like to give Unity a shot, but without being able to find the applications folder or the unity settings, I will have to switch back to Classic. [04:23] jamiewan Linux rules! [04:23] ActionParsnip: with what? [04:23] maurer_: there are gui stuffs for setting up unity, omgubuntu.com has a few [04:23] jamiewan: 'downloading lots compared to many'? [04:24] ActionParsnip: Yes, but where are they accessible from? System->Preferences and System->Administrative are gone, and the left bar appears not configurable via right click [04:24] eww gui [04:24] Hi [04:24] Do we have an updates rollback solution yet? [04:24] ActionParsnip: well just that... i know people who use 100 gig a month and others 10. i'm the latter [04:25] ActionParsnip: omgubuntu.com is also squatted, has no content. [04:26] maurer_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/ then, try websearching if someone gives a bad url, they may get the domain slightly wrong but you can correct them by using intelligence [04:26] herbs: never even used aptitude so i won't miss it if the left it out by default [04:26] jamiewan: i don't see why downloading a game you buy would be such a deal [04:27] tbh apt is better apart from aptitude gives you a tli [04:27] although yum is better than both [04:27] herbs: idd [04:28] If I upgrade, will it reset my applications menu? I have it customized just the way I like it. dont want to redo it. [04:28] yum beter than apt? [04:28] yum is horrid, don't say that [04:28] it [04:28] it's a poor imitation [04:28] alot better thats my opinion but Ive used CentOS mainly [04:28] and rpm repos blow [04:29] herbs: long time since ive used it but i don't know the only 3 package mangers i like besides apt is pacman ,emerge and portage [04:29] file dependencies are stupid [04:29] and yum is slooooooow [04:29] kellnola lmao yum horrible has much better options than apt ubuntu systems you need you use apt and dpkg [04:29] kellnola: apt-get is slow too, compared to apt-fast :D [04:29] herbs: last time was in fedoracore 4 i think [04:30] fedora 4 sucked [04:30] lol [04:30] fedora still can at times end of the day its RedHats test bed [04:31] * rww pokes the channel back towards Ubuntu support instead of distro comparisons (try #ubuntu-offtopic) ;) [04:31] fedora yum rpm all things that have nothing to do with ubuntu [04:31] apt-get --fix-my-broken-python-install [04:31] I know this is a bit off topic, but, has anyone here used redhat? am half tempted to buy the cd [04:31] Herbs: as i said before yea stopt using redhad 8 and switched to gentoo, then when fedoracore came with yum i gave it a chance again, (because face it noting was worse than that rpm depency hell :) ) but now debian/ubuntu and arch mainly [04:31] fair dos idleone Im here to learn more about ubuntu Im experienced with Linux but not ubuntu [04:32] teage: it's very offtopic, try #rhel ;P [04:32] teage: you dont need to buy the cd, you can download the cd [04:32] i used redhat with gnome 2.4 :) [04:32] 2.2 i think damn :P [04:33] rww, anything other then ubuntu is in fact, very off topic. [04:34] rww, which is why i said it was off topic ;) [04:34] idleone one thing though ubuntu is doing things to much different canocial need to sort that [04:34] or swith to bsd based lol [04:34] it seems that whenever i tun wine in natty it just comp;etely crashes my window manager and logs me out. when loggin back in all my applications are closed. is anyone familiar with this issue? [04:34] why everything is related to ubuntu , ubuntu is as good as it is now because they learned from those distros how not to do it :P [04:35] LuckySMack: what version of wine? [04:35] LuckySMack: have you tried asking in #winehq [04:36] Bl4ckJ4gg, They dont like it when you talk about other distro s in ubuntu forums, chat, or anything related to ubuntu. Its the same if you go to debian or any other distro. [04:36] wine sucks even if things work in wine they run better in windows unless its games just use the Linux alernative [04:37] Herbs: counterstrike source is reported to pull more frames in Linux than windows# [04:37] ActionParsnip, ah i tried #wine and nobody was there. good to know. i have wine 1.3.15 [04:37] okey np. [04:37] LuckySMack what does the xorg log say? [04:37] actionparsnip sounds good then Im just going of my experiences I play civ iv mostly [04:38] Bl4ckJ4gg, looking now [04:38] Hi guys does anyone know how can I add a keyboard input layer using terminal? [04:38] hi, I am having lots of trouble with nvidia driver instability on my laptop using a nviia 7400 card [04:38] Im using ubuntu 11.04 [04:39] does anybody know how to troubleshoot opengl? I am running natty [04:39] anyone know why my ubuntu-server would renew its dhcp lease for an interface marked as static in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:39] Ademan ? end of leasetime ? :D [04:40] kandinski: please include your precise question and as much information in one message [04:40] ademan the box has been rebooted === brianl|a is now known as brianl [04:40] Herbs: how do I prevent dhcp from trying to configure this interface? [04:40] ademan was a joke , no clue actually [04:41] Bl4ckJ4gg: I figured, and it was probably true, though useless :-p [04:41] ade,man set your router to perm alocate that ip [04:42] Bl4ckJ4gg ActionParsnip : this is the most recent block of Xorg.0.log entries: http://pastie.org/1979197 [04:42] so it looks like issues with my graphics card then. im not sure. [04:43] ademan , what does /etc/network/interfaces say? or any other ethernet config file for that matter ? [04:43] dhcp sucks [04:43] it really does. I ended up removing dhclient on my server, silly thing. [04:44] I can't boot into my USB, i've set the boot options in the BIOS to try USB-HDD and USB-ZIP but it doesn't seem to boot using my USB.. any ideas?:/ [04:44] dhcp sucks? [04:44] vustom how olds your bios as they dont always detect usb pen drives [04:45] rww: so I take it you didn't figure out how to disable it for a particular interface? [04:45] kellnola: not in a lot of cases, but it can occasionally be a pain [04:45] Ademan: I didn't look, tbh [04:45] Ademan: I don't use it for anything, so I didn't bother. [04:45] LuckySMack: would be more usefull if it contained info about the crash :) now it looks quitte fine .. [04:45] ademan if you have more than one device connecting to a router always manually set it up [04:46] rww: I know dhclient has its own config, and I remember it being particularly gnarly, I was really hoping setting the interface to being static in /etc/network/interfaces was enough [04:46] Bl4ckJ4gg, yea and TNH im not sure where else i can look [04:46] but i have [04:47] but i have been having issues with this GFX card [04:47] ademan: or just turn of dhcp globally and put dhclient interface in some initcript for the interfaces that need it [04:47] somehow after installing libmyodc I don't have file /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbcS.so. How can I get it? I hope you could help because google didn't find what I needed. [04:47] all of the drivers available for it seem to be crap in natty (nvidia geforce 8800 gtx 512mb) [04:48] LuckySMack: the driver is made by nvidia and is the same version and files as the ones in the previous versions as there is only one source of the driver, nvidia [04:48] Bl4ckJ4gg: thanks, that's probably what I'll end up doing, I just had hoped I could leave dhclient set up "normally" [04:48] mdob updatedb && locate libmyodbcS.so you probably have it but the config file isnt pointing to it [04:49] Uh.. probably like 6 years.. [04:49] Sorry for the late reply, keyboard died. :/ [04:49] Stupid wireless. -.- [04:49] ActionParsnip, yea but all the ones ive tried just dont work. whenever i boot up gmd immediately crashes, if it even gets to the desktop before crashing [04:49] Ademan maybe yould check /etc/network/interfaces ed anyway [04:49] How do I make eog the default handler for favicons? [04:50] I tried xdg-mime, but it wants a .desktop file — where would I get one of those? [04:50] LuckySmack , the .old log maybe , or the wine log [04:50] LuckySMack: maybe its a bug with the xorg version in natty combined with the driver [04:50] LuckySMack: could try the 185 driver instead, may be nicer [04:51] Bl4ckJ4gg, i can paste the .old log [04:51] Herbs: 6 or so years, it's a spare computer I want to use again, I have a edited .ISO file on the USB and I don't know how to go about putting the changes onto the CD .ISO file.. [04:51] ActionParsnip, i did try t [04:51] if it has ifo about the crash its usefull [04:52] ActionParsnip, oops. i did try the non recommended as well as the free vesion. all did the same thing [04:52] vustom sorry forgot your issue by now [04:52] herbs I can't boot from my USB.\ [04:52] LuckySMack: which version does recommended install? [04:52] let me look [04:52] herbs: i did evrything u told me .. no good [04:52] herbs : the same result [04:54] ActionParsnip, nvidia-current_270.41.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [04:54] no more solutions for the empty violet screen after login ?? [04:55] aborady sorry I usually use cli not gui [04:55] LuckySMack: so try the 185 driver, remove that driver and install the nvidia-glx-185 package [04:55] vustom forgot what youtr issue was [04:55] LuckySMack: or if that is bad, try: nvidia-173 [04:56] ActionParsnip, alright ill try 185. 173 is the other option in the drivers list, which does the same thing [04:56] nvidia-173_173.14.30-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [04:56] i just upgraded to 11.4 yesterday and its the first launch nothing on the screen except violet background and mouse blink [04:57] LuckySMack: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig it may help the driver to have an xorg.conf file [04:57] after i login in login box normally [04:57] abosardy have you tried login in via single user and then starting gnome? [04:58] herbs: yeah [04:58] Aborady: have you tried logging in to gnome classic [04:58] ActionParsnip, yea i did notice that when installing the driver and running sudo nvidia-settings it never made an xconf unless i told it to write it. [04:58] ^^ [04:58] yes [04:58] ill try the xconfig option though [04:58] hey [04:58] does anyone know howto run a " cat" on a partition that also prits the sector and cycle it is on? but only once every 1MB and only the first 128bit of it? [04:58] is anyone hrerE? [04:58] its seems not the video card peoblem i think [04:58] i need help please [04:59] coz sudo lshw -c display detect the driver very good [04:59] i have set up my bluetooth mosue but i cant seem to figure out how to get my bluetooth keyboard to work [04:59] LuckySMack: that command makes one for you [04:59] how to trace others ip adress via ping in terminal?

[06:11] Herbs: well yeah, I guess iptables [06:11] ActionParsnip what rootkit do I install in my test installation with a recent kernel. Preferably a LKM one [06:11] pastebin is down ActionParsnip [06:11] kandinski: nvidia 270 works fine on my 6150 onboard [06:11] milos1 then yeah only root mor sudo can modify [06:11] wflme: ah, not used anything like that, sorry [06:11] Herbs: thanks [06:12] wflme: you might like to try some security oriented channel with that [06:12] glink: can you paste the url in the channel [06:12] Pastebin.com is under heavy load right now, sorry... [06:12] But we are working on it! [06:12] Im not an ubuntu user much so you might have to lock sudo down as by default it gives access to all [06:12] :( [06:12] glink: then try http://pastie.org [06:12] Tm_T: #security is invite only so I'm kind of stuck with you guys [06:13] A very simple question: can ubuntu 32bit utilize all the memory on an 8gb machine? [06:13] can anyone tell me how to prevent contacts from linking into one meta-contact in telepathy or empathy ? [06:13] rukubites no, it can't. try installing Windows 7 x64 [06:14] http://pastie.org/1979443 ActionParsnip [06:14] wflme, again, seriously? [06:14] wflme: wtf [06:14] hi, what is a good rootkit hunter aside from rkhunter? [06:14] glink: you are using the opensource driver [06:14] install windows 64 bit err just install a Linux 64 bit [06:14] philipballew in my experience, starting 10+ years back with slackware 3.2, Windows 7 is a better desktop system [06:15] windows sucks [06:15] ActionParsnip, exactly [06:15] wflme: Yes that is nice, but for my sixth linux server I want to know, because java compatibility/ease is important. [06:15] rukubites: I think you can use it if you install the PAE kernel [06:15] :) [06:15] glink: sudo dpkg -P nvidia-173; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install nvidia-96 [06:16] action-parsnip see yum is better [06:16] glink: the 96 driver may fly with it [06:16] Herbs: I dont care about yum [06:16] let's see [06:16] th0r: Okay installing custom~ish kernels is more work than installing the 32bit compat stuff. [06:16] I'm installing it right now [06:16] Herbs: I'm trying to help users but I keep getting stopped by nonsense from you about nothing in particular. Can you please just leave me alone [06:17] rukubites: AFAIK the default kernel has PAE enabled [06:17] Tm_T: Ahhhh, okay. It is a bit confusing because Ubuntu says '32 bit recommended' [06:17] actionparsnip no you dont your getting caught up by what you said earlier [06:17] Herbs: you need to differentiate between "your" and "you're", you keep makeing the same mistake [06:18] ActionParsnip: /ignore Herbs will keep him out of your hair [06:18] cirwin: I want to see if s/he is reasonable and/or intelligent [06:18] rukubites, it is recomended because there are more applactions for it that are supported [06:18] Herbs: unless its Ubuntu support, please keep your chat elsewhere [06:18] lol [06:18] no actionparsnip can carry on being a Linux noob [06:18] oh, I assumed you'd come to a conclusion on that already :) [06:19] Im oldskool [06:19] Herbs: its support man keep it to that [06:19] giorno [06:19] !list [06:19] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[06:20] cirwin: they're in /usr/share/applications [06:20] hmmm, or maybe not. Friggin java. [06:20] tensorpudding: thanks! [06:20] glink: ok restart system or X and it will load [06:20] ok I'll restart [06:20] :P [06:21] I see you in a minute [06:21] glink it aint windows restart gdm && startx [06:21] rukubites, install 64 i would say [06:22] Herbs: there's no need to use startx [06:22] tm_t yes there is [06:22] try and start gdm from single user [06:23] he was in single user? [06:23] philipballew: Yeah, I second guessed and I think 64 bit is best. I think I was hung up on 32 bit java because of an old half-native java app I used to need. But I don't need it any more. [06:24] Im mainlr RedHat and slackware based and Im here to learn ubuntu but having second thoughts [06:24] 64 bit has worked fine on my other boxen [06:24] rukubites, 64 ftw. i run it. [06:24] philipballew: Yeah I am running it on this box (my dev machine) [06:24] ActionParsnip, nothing... [06:25] same mistakes than before... [06:25] only machine i need 32bit is my xbmc box, but that may be fixed now [06:25] Herbs: I admit this isn't best place to learn, you should try some less hectic medium [06:26] tim_t Im forgiving [06:26] Its a great place to learn with patience [06:26] glink: your card may have to use the nouveau driver [06:26] anyone seen a solution to mpd not starting after upgrading to natty? [06:26] yowwww: does it have a log [06:27] when I put the proprietary drivers, it works well, but the monitor settings turns worst [06:27] i can check the log but the error is that it doesnt like line 12: error_file [06:27] glink: can you configure the monitor settings better?

[06:31] Ubuntu cannot to make changes on screen resolution, when I install those proprietary drivers... [06:31] guglu: Give it a try. It will grow on you. That's how i first felt when i started with Unity. Been using it for almost a month now. :) [06:31] glink you using ati? [06:31] Herbs: i just wanted to make sure that i would have gnome on 11.04 or not. cause unity is confusing and kde has not been great in the past. [06:32] Herbs, Geforce FX-5200 [06:32] okay [06:32] an old one :P [06:32] glink: there's a program called nv-control-dpy that you can use to make changing the nvidia settings nicer if you like writing shell scripts, but it's a bit fiddly to set up [06:32] anyone want to suggest some apps for me to get [06:32] (with the nvidia drivers i mean) [06:32] glink that should be fine as long as you allow prop drivers [06:32] morph3k, what kind of apps do you want [06:32] markee3: not to mention, but in a weird situation right now, i did a sudo apt-get pgrade on 9.10 day bef yesterday, and my PC screwed up. spent yesterday trying to fix it but it wont, so upgrading now and need to get back to work withouyt testing much :( and yes, i am at work :( with loads of deadlines to meet === shinamouri is now known as black_rogue === black_rogue is now known as shinamouri_ [06:33] guglu did you manage youhr data? === shinamouri_ is now known as aoshi [06:33] yeh i can access the data with live cd, just need to find how to get my database backups [06:33] guglu: You can use the classic Gnome desktop from the GDM sceen. Just choose it before you login. It's right there at the bottom. [06:33] guglu : too late but never trust apt-get dist-upgrade [06:33] ok, thanks [06:33] guglu mysql? [06:33] yes Herbs [06:34] Loto: yes, i wont do apt-get upgrade ever anymore :| [06:34] just upgrade the specifics i want to [06:34] just backup ;) [06:34] gulu hmm they will be in /etc or /var [06:34] morph3k, what kind of apps do you want [06:34] shoudl be in /var/mysql , but people suggest to use mysqldump tool instead of copying folders/files which is not sage [06:34] safe [06:35] i need ftp, i work on websites [06:35] i will ask in #mysql now :) [06:35] code [06:35] use irc a lot as well as google chrome, but i see google chrome isnt available [06:35] guglu depends on your server provider and there build [06:35] i'd lookto theme my desktop right nowt hough. is there asite? [06:35] Herbs, what thing that should be fine as long as I allow the proprietary drivers? [06:36] the nv-control-pdy? [06:36] morph3k, chromium is chrome and filezilla is good for ftp [06:36] morph3k: FileZilla is great. Google Chrome is available on Ubunut and Linux in general, and as far as IRC programs for Linux goes, there are a lot. [06:36] glink should be but double check what your server provider is doing [06:37] hey [06:37] my server provider? :-P can you translate that for a newbbie? Herbs [06:37] where are the themeslocated? [06:37] i chose a theme it pops up a window and asks me to select it? [06:37] but i dont see it [06:37] [2]EhsanSanayei: You can use setxkbmap. Ex: setxkbmap us, ru [06:37] guglu: you can copy directly if the mysql server isn't running. if it's writing to the data, then your copy might get corrupted. that's why the dump tool is recommended instead of copying directly. [06:37] glink are you hiring a server from a isp server provider [06:38] markee3: ohh, thank you. no server isnt running [06:38] so i will copy the data dir too !! :) [06:38] Herbs, yes [06:38] glink sorry forgot what you asked? [06:39] guglu: Have done direct copying of mysql data files from the data dir from one server to another without problems. It's relatively safe and faster compared to restoring from a dump, but again it's not the recommended way to do it. [06:39] well... it doesn't really matters [06:39] morph3k: http://www.google.com/chrome [06:39] ok, markee3 [06:39] thanks [06:39] guglu mysql is usually in /etc/mysql [06:39] when in doubt, chrome it out>. :) [06:39] the point is... that I can't to set any 3d configuration on my ubuntu Herbs [06:40] everything else is going just fine [06:40] so it seems even after doing: udpate-rc.d /etc/init.d/apache2 enable; that apache2 is not starting up when i boot up ubuntu 10.04 lts server. and yes if i do it manually: "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" it works great [06:40] Herbs: i remember mine, it was /var/lib/mysql :) [06:40] glink Im used to servers based on RedHat and desktops on Slackware [06:41] guglu how bigs /var then? [06:42] /var is quite huge, but i dont need everything. i just need /var/www/ and the mysql data files. and then i will reinstall apache, php ,ruby, etc. all again [06:42] guglu you using Plesk? [06:43] no [06:43] cool [06:43] Herbs, RedHat and Slackware? those systems works perfectly as servers... both of them, RedHad is clearly the better one for a server tasks... And both systems never crashes.. [06:43] planking [06:44] glink yep so if your running a server whats the issue? [06:44] I don't have an issue with any server [06:44] XD [06:44] what happened to just the linux penguin logo wallpaper?

Upon rebooting, after leaving the BIOS the first thing I saw was a black screen with "Ubuntu" and five red dots. Below that it complained about /tmp not being mounted and asked for me to wait or press S or press M. I waited, it went away, then got stuck with just Ubuntu and the 5 red dots. At this point it will not respond [07:34] white, then turn red one at a time, then the computer reboots. When it comes back on, it skips the complaint about /tmp and goes right back to the "Ubuntu" with 5 red dots. I never see a GRUB prompt (and tried pressing esc/enter/space/f1/f12/del at the appropriate time sans prompt). What should I do? [07:35] kelvinella: try in keyboard shortcuts. Set the functionality to another key then back to the button you expect [07:36] hold the shift key while booting sparrW [07:36] ubuntu804: will try that. computer is in other room, so waiting for perhaps more ideas before i walk back and forth [07:36] sparrW_: so you dualboot natty and maverick, is that right? [07:36] ActionParsnip: no [07:36] ActionParsnip, still not working [07:36] Hi [07:37] being a web developer, i took backup of /var/www, home, and /var/lib/mysql , is there anything else i would need to backup in your opinion ? :) [07:37] kelvinella: does the key generate events in xev? [07:37] ActionParsnip, i use Ctrl-P for printscreen, still no print screen and save to png dialog [07:37] guglu: backing up /var/lib/mysql is only valid if your mysqld wasnt running at the time [07:37] what is xev? [07:38] kelvinella: is gnome-screenshot there? can you run the app manually from the applications menu instead of the key?

[10:25] mircosx have you installed additional drivers [10:27] mircosx, either via your gc driver control panel (ati/nvidia) or via xorg conf file [10:27] I have compiled a couple of programs for entertainment use (skype, rhythmbox, blueproximity an others and I need someone to cleanup the plugins.

[10:47] mircosx, is all the screen affected by the flickering or just some parts of it, like ie window decorations? [10:47] the whole screen [10:48] it seems an hardware problem but it happens just in ubuntu 11.04 not in windows nor ubuntu 10.

[10:50] ok [10:50] mircosx: in /etc/X11/xorg/conf [10:50] xorg.conf* [10:50] in /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can get some information about your screens such as the "perfect" rate etc. [10:51] it says /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist [10:52] and /var/log/Xorg.0.log the same [10:52] it should exist [10:53] can I generate it?

I want to move files that users upload via samba with a cronjob to another directory. [11:03] "somebody" in particular oopepe ? === migpc is now known as migpc_ === migpc_ is now known as migpc [11:04] no, not in particular. Although only one user is has access to the samba share. [11:05] I just want to move the file to another directory when it has been completely uploaded via samba [11:05] I got a server handed to me and I was wondering what distro you guys think would be best for a Celeron server? [11:06] you can play with date oopepe [11:06] what you want to use it for [11:06] JoeR1 [11:07] rileyp I imagine I am going to invent reasons I had no particular use in mind [11:07] hei, how can i capture picture of my screen after few second ? [11:07] what is the command in console [11:07] hi [11:07] mythtv server record tv and lots of it [11:07] rileyp I am considering donating it to a group i used to belong to at Bradley University [11:07] I wanted to reinstall my mom's pc [11:08] then donate it and not woory bout it [11:08] I already have ubuntu 10.04 and would like to save the user's data and reinstall the system part [11:08] rileyp that is a good idea, it is running 4 HDD's in raid 5 so it would be ideal for media streaming [11:08] what is the suggested user data backup strategy for this task? [11:09] copy your home dir [11:09] i'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I checked my ports at https://www.grc.com. it say my port number 80 is open. How to close port 80? [11:10] mythtv is very good [11:10] alesan ... rsync your home dir to a external USB drive which you previously formatted with EXT3/4 filesystem [11:11] this way you'll keep all the metadata of the files and you wont have the problem of using tar and creating a file too big in a FAT filesystem [11:11] skumara; it is depend it's probably open on your router, how ever by default port's are closed on linux, if no service is running, and you can check that with netstat -nap|grep LISTEN and you will see it ther is any service which run on port 80 in listen state [11:11] the "-a" and "-x" options of rsycn will be the key to do it [11:12] migpc, rsync is sometimes not so easy... for example it ignores hard links... will it save correctly the users and permissions? [11:12] rileyp, what will cp do with (sym)links? === lilstevie|ZNC is now known as lilstevie [11:14] not sure someone else may know Id assume it would just copy them and they would be broken until put back where they belong [11:15] Does someone know how to have a separate partition for one home directory [11:16] yes mount it [11:16] on the same machine CaptainQuirk ? [11:16] CaptainQuirk, mount it [11:17] upd, there is no service in listen state at port 80. Does it mean that my laptop port 80 is closed? [11:18] upd, http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/screen-capture.html [11:18] no, that there is no service listening on it [11:18] upd, you can use that in combination with the wait command in a console [11:19] how do I know if I am running 64bit flash? === ubuntu_ is now known as u007 === u007 is now known as u007me [11:20] hi, can i suspend a machine running resize partition with gparted? [11:20] upd, wait command = sleep XX (where XX are seconds) [11:20] Yeah, well, I cannot access it : I would like it to be the directory my user session starts on [11:20] and it doesn't boot on it [11:21] 请问 ISO-8859 编码的文件乱码怎么办啊、、 [11:21] how to know what is my IP adress in terminal?

[11:47] Viking667: these settings are stored in ur home folder i think in a hidden file [11:48] I need more specific than "a hidden file" [11:48] just google [11:48] when logging in , whats the difference between ubuntu/ubuntu 2d? [11:48] That's a little difficult at the moment, I'm down to dialup speeds. [11:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/613683/ [11:50] which is my "normal system partition" [11:50] ? [11:51] hey every one [11:51] lifechamp: ever heard of hiren boot cd try it [11:52] i just wanna ask about conkeror web browser ! [11:52] i have recently installed ubuntu 11 [11:52] and i can't find conkeror browser [11:52] not even in the repository [11:52] so anyhelp ? [11:52] why would you want to use that piece of shit [11:52] use chrome or firefox [11:52] its konqueror [11:53] not c [11:53] mm cause i am using emacs [11:53] browsers are about prefference [11:53] no konqueror it is not conkeror ! [11:53] and its kde package not ubuntu default [11:53] what prog can i use to scan/display all the hosts on my local network (with info such as ip/mac address)? [11:53] axle3d: nmap [11:53] apt-get install nmap [11:53] it was in ubuntu 10 [11:54] jbkc85, apart from nmap [11:54] i found it amazing cause it programmable [11:54] why would you use something else? [11:54] nmap is the gold standard in port scanners [11:54] pretty sure it's called konqueror and it's kde as opposed to default ubuntu being gnome [11:54] !info conkeror [11:54] u know u might have used kubuntu for that matter [11:54] Package conkeror does not exist in natty [11:54] hungryhubby, looking into Hiren's atm [11:54] jblphx, exactly, am not looking for a port scanner, am looking for something in the lines of arp-scan [11:54] FYI, the main problem is this: [11:54] ubuntu can not boot after update "symbol not found: 'grub_env_export'" [11:55] ram`: It looks like conkeror has been dropped from natty [11:55] aha [11:55] hungryhubby, would hiren's solve that? === Viliny_ is now known as Viliny [11:55] axle3d: what are you trying to do exactly. [11:55] as an alternative to these instructions? [11:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#METHOD%203%20-%20CHROOT [11:55] axle3d: arp scan? [11:55] sigh... fell off. [11:55] not really hiren is a cd to manupulate ur partitions and recover whats lost [11:56] rileyp, so, r u able to determine my "normal system partition"? [11:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/613683/ [11:56] sigh. All I can find is under .gconf, but I'm not using Metacity - I'm using Unity. [11:56] conkeror seems well out of date... maybe it's not maintained anymore [11:56] ram`: you can download from svn/git, extract somewhere you like, then run it using conkeror; set up a keybinding or .desktop file and you're good to go [11:56] ram`: Although it looks a bit confusing, some websites are listing, others saying its not available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/conkeror [11:56] arp-scan simply sends arp requests to the network and list all alive hosts/mac in a matter of seconds, nmap on the other hand takes a while. [11:56] anyhow, I need to go get some sleep... goodnight all. [11:56] i think ur grub2 is messed up lifechamp [11:56] it all depends on your arguments [11:56] nmap does arp scanning too [11:56] ram`: run it using xulrunner I mean [11:56] * Viking667 departs - man, life sucks on 56k speeds [11:56] if you don't give it a list of dumb command line options [11:57] ram`: Looking at a link from that page, it says its been superseeded, but I can't see what with [11:57] hungryhubby, ok, what do u recommend i do? [11:57] it'll do fast scans - even arp [11:57] -PR option [11:57] jblphx, ok, ill give it a try [11:57] -PR will be an "arp ping" [11:58] get that hiren cd or boot off the ubuntu live cd and check for ur partition again i mean missing [11:58] Is anyone able to tell which is my "normal system partition" from this fdisk output? http://paste.ubuntu.com/613683/ [11:58] ok i will try with git [11:59] hungryhubby, i'm currently booted from the livecd [11:59] and, i guess your saying its not there [11:59] so now what? [11:59] whts equivalent command for ipconfig/all in windows to that of linux [11:59] ram`: run the application.ini file with xulrunner; like: xulrunner /path/to/conkeror/application.ini [11:59] hungryhubby: ifconfig -a [12:00] i can't be 100% sure the livecd is the same version as the currently installed version on the HD, if that matters here (though I'd think it doesn't matter for just inspecting the partitions) [12:00] paste ur output of disk utilty [12:00] ram`: Just for in, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conkeror/+bug/761929 [12:00] Ubuntu bug 761929 in conkeror (Ubuntu) "Please remove conkeror binary and sources" [Wishlist,Fix released] [12:00] ifconfig -a tell a part of story not mac addresses [12:00] hungryhubby, output of disk utility? can u be more specific? i already pasted the fdisk -l output [12:00] I have no sound preference in Ubuntu 10.10 .

(cpu speed, system monitor etc) [12:11] usr13: Seems to not be doing anything after ~30 seconds. [12:11] kaiojima: If this works, I would suggest using wicd in the place of network-manager.

[13:21] bazhang, thx for suggestion, but was not able to get into recovery. all i get is the login screen in terminal. all files are still there and everything works, just no graphics. [13:21] saimanoj: i'd start with just a description of the problem, with as many details of your setup as possible (don't include the strace output unless asked for it). [13:21] purplefool, you rebooted and held shift at boot? [13:22] bazhang: a firefox extension? I don't think there is a ff extension for google voice [13:22] sipior: thanks, for your help. [13:22] saimanoj: good luck getting your problem sorted out [13:22] carpi, not clear how this is related to ubuntu [13:22] sipior: Thanks. [13:23] yes i did...will do it again to make sure. [13:23] carpi, you could apt-cache search google and see what comes up in terminal [13:23] bazhang: thanks. i'll try that [13:24] guys [13:24] goddamit [13:24] i just got a nvidia geforce 520, and xubuntu wont boot [13:24] ubuntu, that is [13:24] Cube``, watch the language [13:25] Cube``:Integrated? [13:25] Cube``:or PCI/PCI-E? [13:26] bazang did what you said and got nothing...just the same as before. do you have any other suggestions? [13:26] bazhang: I tried wammu which is gui frontend for gammu and I can conenct to android but can't send smss... [13:26] Cheese : document file without file name [13:26] Cube``:What version of ubuntu?

[13:27] Cube`` , rescue mode ? [13:27] jhala, it is [13:28] hi can someone teach me how to search text file on ubuntu 10.10 ? because most text file save with gedit are without extension .Thanks [13:28] k5673: im pretty sure its a PCI-E [13:29] Where can I find in-depth tutorials about shell scripting?

[13:29] Dazzled: decent place to start: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [13:29] bazhang, yes [13:30] Dazzled, check sipior 's link I'd say :) [13:30] sipior, ah, I'll go and take a look [13:30] Cube``:http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-270.41.19-driver.html [13:30] thanjs [13:30] thanks* [13:31] Anyone can teach me how to search file ? using ubuntu 10.10 === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [13:31] nbubuntu: find /path/ -iname part-of-filename [13:31] nbubuntu, search inside files? what do you need an extension for? [13:32] bazhang llutz_ : nope , it's a document linux file save using gedit [13:32] bazhang llutz_ : I wanted to find all those gedit document file but it save without extension [13:32] bazhang llutz_ : how do I search them ? [13:33] nbubuntu, by name? [13:33] nbubuntu: extensions are useless. use "find" or "grep -r" to search for files [13:33] XuMuK : all [13:33] nbubuntu, there is no way [13:33] XuMuK : all file save using gedit [13:34] gedit does text files.. theres lots of text files. :) [13:34] Unless you added an extension to it. it dident use one. [13:34] nbubuntu: there is no way to do, since gedit won't (hopefully) write any info into files. those are pure text-files [13:34] i can't believe there is no ppa for google talk ! [13:34] carpi: i thought google had its own repos for it. [13:35] they got repos for many of their other linux things. [13:35] carpi, but there is a google one... [13:35] XuMuK: could you please elaborate? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [13:35] dr_willis: its own repos? [13:35] yes.. google has repos for most of their projects i recall. [13:36] llutz_ dr_willis : normally when you type some text file into the gedit you save it default "Untitled Document 1" but it doesn't have an extension name like .txt and I wanted to search all doc file in a folder [13:36] nbubuntu: search for a text string in a file. can be done with grep. [13:36] the file command can say what kind of file - each filename is. [13:38] nbubuntu: if you are using 11.04 theres that zeitgiest tools that can show what files you have been working on also. [13:38] dr_willis : I just wanted to search all document file. Like if you wanted to search a picture file picture.jpg you can use "grep *.txt" [13:38] however its spelt. [13:38] dr_willis : I am using ubuntu 10.10 [13:38] nbubuntu: file /path/* | grep ASCII [13:38] hi all [13:38] how can I test what is causing forbidden access in apache2? [13:39] nbubuntu: you are missing the point. file can be a text file and not have an extension. You want to Figure out what file is the one you just saved? Look at the dates. and see what llutz_ said. [13:39] when attempting to start gdm i get the following message: /usr/sbin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lb/libgmodule-2.0.so.0: invalid ELF header [13:39] what does this mean? [13:39] purplefool: could be the file is currupted. [13:40] the elf header is a little bit of magic #'s at teh start of a executable binary file I belive. [13:41] nbubuntu: that will list ALL ASCII-textfiles in a given dir, but that could be anything,, not only gedit-written files. [13:41] I'm almost in love with the latest ubuntu, nice job /end of offtopic [13:41] purplefool: what does "file /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0" report? [13:41] mikey774 [13:42] llutz_ : it's gedit written file mostly === mikey is now known as Guest47580 [13:42] dr_willis, how can i 'uncurrupt' it? [13:42] nbubuntu: you still don't get the point [13:42] hello everyone [13:42] HOW DO I INSTALL UBUNTU ON MY ORIGINAL XBOX [13:42] hello [13:42] SORRY SHIFT KEY IS BROKEN [13:42] fowlmouth, no caps [13:42] sipior, i have no idea...got the command while googling. didn't even know there was such a file. [13:42] You could try reinstalling the thing purplefool - [13:43] llutz_ : sorry , I dont quite understand what you mean [13:43] !xbox [13:43] bazhang: SHIFT KEY IS BROKEN IM SORRY [13:43] fowlmouth, press blocmaiusc if shift is broken, thanks [13:43] purplefool: no, i mean run the command "file" on the library mentioned. [13:43] dr_willis, that is what we were trying to avoid by coming here. it that has to happen, we will though. [13:43] Unsupported and EOL platform, fowlmouth [13:43] sipior, ok...give me a sec... [13:43] purplefool: shouldent be too hard to reinstall the stuff.. but it may be a sign of other things also being currupted. or a failing hd. [13:43] alexanderL53: ? BLOCMAIUSC? [13:44] fowlmouth, the key over shift on the left side of keboard [13:44] Is there someone here who could try to give me some support? [13:44] You mean the caps lock? [13:44] Guest47580, with what [13:44] !ask [13:44] 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. :-) [13:44] fowlmouth, oh, and by the way, if shift is broken how did you write the '?' ? [13:45] sipior, evidentally it is a symbolic link to another file...should i do the same the the other file? [13:45] purplefool: please. [13:45] alexanderL53: shift is stuck not broken [13:45] i guess caps lock works for now [13:45] Err I'm not sure... just need someone smart who might be able to help me.... [13:45] state the problem.. and see. [13:45] fowlmouth, its working, thanks [13:45] Guest47580, ubuntu support? [13:45] yeah [13:45] Guest47580: just ask a question [13:45] alexanderL53: blocmaiusc = italian? [13:45] dr_willis, you are prob right, the computer is a referbished one from scraps...but it has run stable for a few weeks now and only died when the power was cut by a friend [13:46] i accidentally activated unity in ubuntu classic, after deactivating it, i cannot launch metacity, hints & tips? [13:46] llutz, yes, italian keyboard, I forgot to 'traduce' its meaning when typing here ;) [13:46] I want windows back and my friend who put ubuntu on here said it was easy to go back and I don't know how to go back. [13:46] MonkeyDust, that sounds unlikely [13:46] oh wow MonkeyDust you have ubuntu too? im rockin" ubuntu!! [13:46] Guest47580, restart the computer, and select windows on startup [13:47] Guest47580, if you are sure you want to go back, you have to reinstall windows, but the best bet is probably to call your friend again [13:47] bazhang: unikely as it is, it is wat i experience [13:47] I don't get that option [13:47] MonkeyDust, as in not possible [13:47] bazhang: not knowing it is impossible, it is what happened [13:47] Guest47580: then u need to reinstall the computer. if you have a laptp there might be a recovery partition [13:47] Guest47580: you"re best bet is to reinstall linspire< lindows< or freedos [13:47] sipior, i get the following: /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.220.3: ERROR: cannot open '/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.220.3' (no such firle or directory) [13:48] I don't have a windows disk. That's why I was picky of him doing it. He said he used the try via usb option and hit install to harddisk :\ [13:48] MonkeyDust, log out and choose classic, unity is another choice. they dont exist together [13:48] Drake, did you mean 'reinstall the operating system'? Sorry but 'installing a computer' was too gross for me to hear :D [13:48] purplefool: and the file is indeed missing? [13:48] bazhang: i am in classic [13:49] OK CYA THANKS [13:49] alexanderL53: well I'm used to say reinstall the computer. Not everyone know what I mean when I say reinstall your os :p [13:49] Guest47580, call your friend, if you are clueless now I won't advice you on reinstalling windows by yourself. We are sorry for that [13:49] he"s a good guy [13:49] got a problem with mic in ubuntu 11.04, mic dont work, sound card Analog Devices AD1986A my alsaconf is here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613685/ [13:49] anyone have a clue about that? [13:49] Guest47580, um, so he formatted the whole hard disk and installed ubuntu? [13:49] I don't have a way to reinstall windows and is there atleast a way to reaccess my old files from windows? [13:49] Well.. [13:49] Yes [13:49] llutz_ : I mean when I open a gedit after typing , saving as "mydocument" , there is no extension .So let say I wanted to search all gedit file , how do I do that ? [13:49] sipior, yes, looks like it is missing...can i get it from somewhere or must it be complied from something? [13:49] Provided he didn't erase the whole disk. [13:49] Guest47580, it all depends on what your friend did exactly [13:49] nbubuntu: file /path/* | grep ASCII [13:49] He said he made ubunutu only use like 15gb [13:49] ^^ [13:50] if he did that you"re fucked FUCKED [13:50] purplefool: easiest just to reinstall the package, i would imagine. [13:50] fowlmouth, no cursing [13:50] sipior, how do i do that? [13:50] I've been having python problems for the past [indeterminate amount of time]. "ipython" fails with "ImportError: No module named testing", and "import scipy" fails with "ImportError: No module named multiarray". Halp? [13:50] Guest47580, In the file manager, ( nautilus ) look on the right [13:50] my bad bro [13:50] Why was Java removed from 11.04? Is it because of Oracle? [13:50] Kreative`: If he doesn't have a dualboot then his friend prob erased the entire disk :p [13:50] i accidentally activated unity in ubuntu classic, after deactivating it, i cannot launch metacity, alt-f2 won't work either, ctrl-alt-backspace won't work, hints & tips? [13:50] file manager? [13:50] Yes.. [13:50] Places -> Home Folder [13:50] LetsGo67, in partner repo [13:51] Or are you on 11.04..? [13:51] !partner > LetsGo67 [13:51] LetsGo67, please see my private message [13:51] 11.04 [13:51] Drake|, his friend wasn't probably so dumb to erase even the ntfs data [13:51] Alrite [13:51] so he will probably find a partition mounted somewhere [13:51] oh wow, thats good [13:51] bazhang: It doesn't really explain why. [13:51] purplefool: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglib2.0 libglib2.0-dev" [13:51] On the right, click the folder with the house on it. [13:51] alexanderL53: I hope not, but I wouldn't count on it :p [13:51] bazhang: Why is Flash available easily but not Java? Isn't Java more open than Flash? [13:51] Okay [13:51] blame it on the goose< it"s got ya feelin" loose! [13:52] LetsGo67, enable partner repo, its easy [13:52] purplefool: sorry, that should be libglib2.0-0 [13:52] llutz_ : Sorry I dont know how to use this "file /path/* | grep ASCII" , what should I enter as file ? [13:52] !ot | fowlmouth [13:52] fowlmouth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:52] so what's 3d about unity? I don't get it. [13:52] I clicked on home folder... [13:52] nbubuntu: "file" is a command [13:52] blame it on the vodka [13:52] blame it on the heny [13:52] fowlmouth, thats enough [13:52] blame it on the al al al alcohol [13:52] lool [13:52] LetsGo67: well, java is available easily enough, you only need to add the partner repositories. but i think the thing is that the flash package is just an installer that gets the actual Flash from the net, while the java package is actually java [13:52] ban him [13:52] he wants to go [13:53] You know I am on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 [13:53] I wont upgrade until the next stable release [13:53] Quantum_Ion, you mean lts? [13:53] Quantum_Ion, support question? [13:53] Hello?? [13:53] yeah lts [13:53] llutz_ : still I can't get it right sorry , :( [13:53] When is the next Ubuntu LTS release ? [13:53] 12.04 [13:53] Quantum_Ion, 12.04 [13:53] one year [13:54] What year is 12.04 coming out ? [13:54] Quantum_Ion, 2012 [13:54] 2012, april [13:54] Quantum_Ion: the version # is the date [13:54] LjL: 'Cause it's 95% free and 5% Sun? [13:54] 2012, fourth month [13:54] guys somebody can help me with alsa? [13:54] locum, just ask [13:54] LetsGo67: honestly i don't know what the current license status of java is, it's a bit confusing [13:54] 2012 just before the world ends thats GREAT [13:54] I think its 04 aka april 2012 :p [13:54] Quantum_Ion, !ot [13:54] got a problem with mic in ubuntu 11.04, mic dont work, sound card Analog Devices AD1986A my alsaconf is here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/613685/ [13:54] Thanks LjL and bazhang and have a good day! [13:55] what's the line again to --replace the window manager? [13:55] I didn't realise those dates related to versions. Thanks! [13:55] Guess I will marinate on 10.04 until 2012 [13:55] Quantum_Ion, try #ubuntu-offtopic [13:55] deckstar: nothing is 3D about Unity, it's said it's "3D" because it uses the 3D acceleration capabilities of graphics cards [13:55] Quantum_Ion, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [13:55] alexanderL53, any idea? [13:55] LjL: Thank you. I knew I must be missing something [13:56] Where did the guy that was helping me go? [13:56] deckstar, unity-2d if your card can not handle it [13:56] Wht you guys think of the new 11.04 desktop ?.. i dont like the requirement for a graphics card [13:56] Guest47580, what is your problem? [13:56] locum, I don't, but others will see your question and answer if they know [13:56] bazhang, does unity-2d use less Watts? [13:56] semitones, wat? [13:57] alexanderL53, i hop so lol [13:57] semitones, the difference, if any, should be pointless [13:57] llutz_ : as mention before my file type is "plain text document (text/plain)" .Sorry I dont know how to use the "file /path/* | grep ASCII" command [13:57] bazhang, Power, as in would the battery last longer [13:57] semitones, no idea [13:57] locum: his friend installed ubuntu on his comp. and he want windows again :P [13:57] because power consumption is the main beef I have with natty [13:58] Drake|, but installed both system or he just format [13:58] What is the update "no change rebuild for dbus-glib update" for? [13:58] semitones, with 3d the desktop should be drawn by your graphic card (just a few percent usage), with 2d its the cpu that does the job (again, few percents). Someone should draw it, and the effort is really little unless you have a 20year old computer, so I don't think its worth thinking about watts ;) [13:58] locum: as far as I could understand there is no dualboot.

[13:58] alexanderL53, oh, I thought the graphics card would draw the 2d one also [13:58] Drake|, if he is lucky maybe he can restore data [13:59] sipior, ok, did what you said but forgot to mention that i am using ubuntu9.10 because it is an old computer...what you sent is for the newest i think. what would the name of the older file be? [13:59] semitones: possibly... someone who works on Unity told me the additional power consumption was almost negligible, though === werdnA_ is now known as Android [13:59] unity 3D version will not run if you dont have proper 3D drivers.. nvidia/ati etc. [13:59] locum: posible :p [13:59] semitones: the 'rendering' is offloaded to the video card when possible using the 3d drivers. this lets you have effects that dont bog down your cpu. === Android is now known as Guest33831 [13:59] LjL, ok. I suppose the main issue is the new kernel from what I've heard. Does it break anything to install natty and use it with maverick's kernel? [14:00] purplefool: try "dpkg -S /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0" to find the relevant package. [14:00] Guest47580: So did you get the help you needed? [14:00] dr_willis, oh ok [14:00] im going for Lubuntu... on new and old computer.. want them to be the same for easy maintainence [14:00] semitones: i don't know specifically, but that's generally not a good idea at all [14:00] :( [14:00] semitones: have you tried the live CD anyway? [14:00] hy guys, do you got any troubles connecting to the psn ? [14:00] Guest47580, laptops usually have a 'Recovery' menu at the very early startup. Check for it when you open your computer [14:00] guillone, that has what to do with ubuntu? [14:00] simon100, if I were you I'd go with ubuntu on the fast one and lubuntu on the slow one, just because ubuntu is much easier [14:00] semitones: if the new kernel works for you, why care === neo is now known as Guest85882 [14:01] LjL, the laptop gets very hot :( [14:01] semitones: oh i see [14:01] yeh do you have a ps3 chan please?

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [14:01] I have natty installed on a partition [14:01] Guest47580, if you find it, you will be guided trough the procedure of having a shiny new window installation, altough I repeat you that it would be probably better to call your friend again, only him knows what he did [14:01] guillone: there is ##ps3 but it's very small === andrew_ is now known as droids [14:01] When I install custom Ubuntu themes the font for the top left hand corner never changes.. its weird.. [14:02] nbubuntu:use this to find all textfiles in your home-dir+subdirs, it will find much more than you like :) adjust the path "~/" to get more suitable results. as you were told several times, there is no easy way to just find your "gedit files". find ~/ -type f -print0|xargs -0 file -i|grep "text/plain" [14:02] nah i have always preferred PCmanFM and getting it working on Ubuntu (replacing nautilus) is a pain. But its in Lubuntu as standard.. so Lubuntu kinda is my dream come true [14:02] hi. I activated a pptpd server on a linux laptop. From a windows client I can login and activate the vpn connection to the server, I can ping the server, but I can't access to all the services of the server, for example, the webserver.... this mean, for example, that I can browse "http://server_real_ip/index.html" but I can't browse ""http://server_vpn_ip/index.html"... how can I solve that? [14:02] PCmanfm is just faster and details view works as supposed === ocs is now known as faLUCE [14:02] ok cya.. need to start installing now [14:02] Guest47580, altough, I would ask you what are your problems for wanting to go back to windows, but if its just what you want, don't bother with answering [14:03] sipior, well, that command caused the harddrive to act up a bit but nothing appeared on the screen...just back to the normal prompt. [14:03] thank you ljl [14:03] Does anyone know of a way to use an Original Xbox communicator (the puck that plugs into the old xbox controllers to use a headset) in Ubuntu? I bought it without checking the compatibility first. the actual controller works perfectly (it's the original original, aka the "Duke" fits perfectly in my hands) and the headset works in XP, which is now the only reason I voluntarily ever boot into Windows. [14:03] is there a config file i can delete, to restore ubuntu classic to its default setings? [14:04] !resetpanel | MonkeyDust this does it for the panels [14:04] MonkeyDust this does it for the panels: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:04] MonkeyDust, try ~/.gnome2 , tough I am not sure [14:04] MonkeyDust: the webupd8 site had a posting on doing just that. with a few commands. to reset compiz, gnome, and unity. [14:04] purplefool: dpkg -l | grep -i libglib [14:04] I am not sure if that reset-panel command works for the classic gnome or not. [14:05] hi all [14:05] I am getting grub rescue at boot [14:05] can you help me [14:05] ganeshjacharya, did you add or change drives? [14:05] jamukh, just ask directly, thanks [14:06] how to media video call Pidgin messenger [14:06] There was a power failure [14:07] jamukh, there should be a plugin for that. If (and only if) this don't work, try amsn [14:07] nbubuntu: i'd start actually putting extensions on your files if you want an easy way to distinguish them with a console command. [14:07] hi guys [14:07] i need some help [14:07] sipior, not sure what that command did, but there is def stuff on the screen that is new. 'binding' and 'interface' from 4 different packages i think [14:08] sama, with what === Vladislas_ is now known as Vladislas [14:08] purplefool: those list all the packages you have installed that contain "libglib" in the name. reinstall them.

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:15] i just got a nvidia geforce 520, and ubuntu wont boot [14:15] i just got a nvidia geforce 520, and ubuntu wont boot [14:15] why are the most of UNIX ppl calling me "Retard" just because of i'm using ubuntu ? [14:15] supercabbage: I don't think there is a default one, but "sudo su" makes you root using your password [14:15] nettezzaumana, take it elsewhere please [14:15] airtonix: something small like a panel app (if they work with unity or a small desktop thing [14:15] try >sudo vi /blah/blah [14:15] nettezzaumana, wtf? [14:15] can anyone help me with skype on linux?

[14:17] sudo cd mysql/ [14:17] sudo: cd: command not found [14:17] metroider: yeah well 11.04 is another beast. [14:17] airtonix: if i right click on the top panel nothing happens [14:17] ??? [14:17] supercabbage: you can't sudo cd. ... [14:17] nettezzaumana, try pcbsd its easier to configure http://www.pcbsd.org [14:17] Quantum_Ion: i'm using openbsd|sunOS-forks .. but [14:17] supercabbage: use "sudo -i" sudo cd is nonsense [14:17] Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What would cause this? [14:17] I'm in :P [14:17] airtonix: is there another sensor option? [14:18] metroider: probably, but it's not in the panel. you could try conky as a desktop background component [14:18] Where are the databases themselves in var/lib/mysql? [14:18] metroider: but you'll need to install lm-sensors [14:18] nettezzaumana, Yeah those BSD Operating systems are closer to the real Unix then Linux [14:18] hey, does anyone knows how to use apt-get install for Zend Framework 1.11.5 ?

It works just fine, but the moment i enter full screen it tends to 'lag'. Is there a reason for this? [14:22] scensis: thats been an on again and off again issue with flash for ages. [14:22] dr_willis: Hmm, in linux or every OS? [14:23] adobe dosent care much for linux. so their flash gets the short end of the support stick. [14:23] flash under windows is rather laggy at times also. :) but we dont want to start that rant session [14:24] dr_willis: Hehe, it worked on windows. But i'd rather have lag than windows :p [14:24] hopefully soon - video via html5 will get commonplace [14:24] Should I update to Natty, I'm still using Lucid? [14:24] ive rarely had flash issues here on my linux machines. but i dont use a lot of flash video sites [14:24] Is Natty good and stable? [14:24] Chatter364: if you want the new features. [14:24] Chatter364: if theres nothing in it you need. why bother. [14:24] dr_willis: Hm, ok. [14:25] dr_willis, I'm always looking to speed things up [14:25] Chatter364, not as stable as an older release... [14:25] ok [14:25] is there a channel about ubuntu server ? [14:25] Another thing. in Natty, i got this "mac look-a-like bar" to the left. And i want to move it. Is that possible? [14:25] Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What would cause this? [14:26] nerdshell, #ubuntu-server [14:26] bazhang: thanks [14:27] scensis, there are third party apps in ppa to do some things with it, doubt you can move its location though [14:27] scensis, better to just use classic and install a dock [14:27] scensis: thats the unity panel. You dont move it.. check the various 'how to use unity' sites/guides [14:27] Ok [14:27] May as well try out unity its to be the new standard desktop on ubuntu it seems. [14:28] It takes some getting used to. [14:28] morning [14:28] I just wish they had put together a 'quick using unity guide/url' on the desktop [14:28] Yea, i will try it. Just though i could "edit" it a little :p [14:28] true [14:28] hey guys does anyone here know about joliOS? [14:28] there are many things you can tweak with it. but nothing radical [14:29] anyone know any good python IDE for ubuntu?

[14:29] So i would have to live with it to the left, instead of at the bottom? [14:29] yes dr_willis [14:29] so wich channel should i go? [14:29] mehdi: they have threir own support channels and forums. but its support is rather lacking in ways. [14:29] #JoliCloud? [14:29] !alis | mehdi [14:29] mehdi: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode.

[14:33] scensis: Is this any use http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/4795149014/the-power-users-guide-to-unity [14:33] scensis: goto omgubuntu.co.uk [14:33] scensis: webupd8 web site and omgubuntu sites have dozens of articals on it, Check my delicious.com/dr_willis links also [14:33] supercabbage: correct permissions? backed up using mysqldump? restarted mysqld? [14:33] One site has a 'unity keyboard shortcuts' wallpaper that you sould use for a few days :) [14:33] Thanks !:D [14:33] Question - I installed Windows 7 on a 250gb SATA drive. I left 30gb untouched for Ubuntu to install later. I fire up Ubuntu and it says the drive is 100% unallocated. yet if I reboot, Windows 7 is there. What would cause this?

[15:08] In Ubuntu 11.04, using Gnome, in System -> Preference -> Network Proxy Preferences: Is it possible to set/change login/password for "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" (applying System Wide or not) ? Thanks for your help ! [15:08] Thanks, bazhang and Dr_Willis :) [15:09] i wonder if there be a terminal lens some time soon. :) [15:09] !info tilde [15:09] Package tilde does not exist in natty [15:09] guake, tilde ? tilda? and i recall trying out about 3 others once. [15:09] its tilda [15:10] And while we're at it. What IRC client do you guys use? [15:10] oal: whatever one we feel like. :) depends on your needs and tasted [15:10] tastes [15:10] shud i stop that command and go 4 minimal desktop.....whats the command to get plasma desktop with some basic apps like dolphin and okacular [15:10] oal, xchat irssi weechat konversation quassel are all used, and a few others [15:10] using kvirc right now. :) [15:10] wechat is my fave. [15:10] I've used xchat before, but I didn't like it. Thanks for suggestions [15:10] wee-chat [15:11] oal: dont confuse xchat with xchat-gnome they are very differnt [15:11] Dr_Willis: ah, ok [15:11] everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome [15:12] hey [15:12] what am i doing wrong here : "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/part 2 yassine -o force" ??? [15:12] Dr_Willis, I like it [15:12] CarlFK: I see the connection I created manually under /system/networking/connections/1 but I don't see in what key the static IP is set [15:12] yassine_hell: whats the 2 in there for? [15:12] !info nvidia-96 [15:12] nvidia-96 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional.

What is the best tool for this kind of work? [15:13] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/159277 [15:13] yassine_hell: you can use any name you want. spaces will require you to quote or escape the space. [15:13] Dr_Willis, pure plain xchat awesome ... the one which ships with ubuntu sucks [15:13] greenmang0: the normal xchat has been dumbed down over the years also sadly. :( [15:14] Dr_Willis: ok i will try it [15:14] it used to have much more power-user irc type defaults. [15:14] yassine_hell: issues with spaces in anmes/paths are commonplace. best to get out of the habbit of using spaces.. use a _ if you want [15:14] what tools do you guys use to manage multiple ubuntu boxes? any pointers? [15:15] Dr_Willis :) worked thx ^^ [15:15] pythonirc1011: ssh :) [15:15] Dr_Willis: So I ssh to 10 servers one by one? or write scripts to mirror any apt-get installs? [15:15] another question [15:16] pythonirc1011: there are multi-ssh tools out for doing stuff like that.. [15:16] bencc: huh. yeah, I don't see my settings either. [15:16] how can i split a text file with "split -l" to 1GB each ? [15:16] if you use a live cd and mount an existing drive (but don't do anything with it) will it write anything to that drive at all? [15:16] I lost some files in the upgrade 8.04->10.04 a while ago and would like to see if I can go recover them with the 8.04 live cd [15:16] pythonirc1011: you will want to set up an apt-cacher-ng server if doing somthing like that also. [15:16] I was thinking of tools like zabbix...wondering if anyone uses these? [15:17] hello [15:17] !info zabbix [15:17] Package zabbix does not exist in natty [15:17] pls.... [15:17] yassine_hell: use wc -l to count the lines, then do the math. [15:17] !ask | Guest_ [15:17] Guest_: 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. :-) === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [15:17] I lost the files because 8.04 didn't recognize my 2 drives as a RAID drive, and 10.04 did.

[15:19] yassine_hell: i have to wonder at the logic of keeping such a huge file. :) but I imagine its somting some company did [15:19] hi all [15:19] yassine_hell: or use split -b [15:19] Dr_Willis: nah :D its just a small wordlist ^^ [15:19] i just installed a debian 6 VM and i am a bit confused, to install the ssh server in ubuntu i issue the command apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client, the few things i seen in debian 6 sugest i just need to do apt-get install ssh -y === niles|iPod_ is now known as niles|iPod === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [15:19] bif001 well i need each file to be 1Gb big [15:20] can somebody explain to me the diference, i thougth ubuntu and debian shared repositories [15:20] Hi there! Anyone having problems with their banshee? [15:20] lrojas, they dont [15:20] lrojas: could be 'ssh' is a meta package that pulls in the others.. [15:20] yassine_hell: split -b splits on bytes [15:20] :o [15:20] lrojas: i believe ubuntu was built from debian but then took its own path essentially breaking away [15:20] split -b 1024 textfile.txt ??? [15:21] 1024 bytes = 1 k :) [15:21] you think I'll find a better channel (fr audio stuff eg.) [15:21] is there a guide to kubuntu desktop [15:21] thanks all [15:21] hungryhubby, try #kubuntu [15:21] hungryhubby: Ive not seen one. #kubuntu people may know of one. the generic KDE guides proberly will work [15:21] yassine_hell more like split -b 1073741824 [15:22] Dr_Willis ... damn >.> mmm and for one GB it would be ..

[15:22] dean_, whats the burning app you're using [15:22] xD [15:22] dean_: you make an audio cd.. not a data cd [15:22] bazhang, I was gonna use mp3cd but it says it makes them into .wav [15:22] 1,073,741,824 [15:23] ok does apt-get have a gui [15:23] many cd players these days can play mp3 files :) [15:23] !synaptic [15:23] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [15:23] thx bif001 ^ [15:23] ^^ [15:23] hungryhubby, for ubuntu? kubuntu? what [15:23] hungryhubby: theres several. the software center is one such gui. [15:23] how do I get alert when update available in natty + ubuntu-classic ? [15:23] where are you from? why everyone here speak English..? [15:24] axisys: its allready set up that way. It might only check once a day. [15:24] usc doesnt provide information about kubuntu desktop pack [15:24] yassine_hell: btw, if it's a word list, I assume you've uniqued it with sort -u? [15:24] bif001 ...whats that... [15:24] how can I understand why, after upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10, unity-window-decorator keeps locking up my desktop? [15:24] Dr_Willis: i dont remember seeing one in few months.. [15:24] hungryhubby: what sort of info are you expecting? [15:25] i just ran aptitude upgrade and I got 12 pkgs waiting to be upgraded [15:25] bencc: I am going to ask how to set static IPs on http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list [15:25] aptitude full-upgrade rather [15:25] Dr_Willis: ^ [15:25] about kubuntu-desktop package or the minimal package to install a kubuntu desktop [15:25] yassine_hell: you say it's a word list, I assume for a dictionary attack. Are all the words in it unique? [15:25] axisys: a few months and thers only 12 packages? :) thats impressive thers so few. [15:26] my English is very pool how can i learn from you ...? [15:26] Dr_Willis: i have been running aptitude full-upgrade from time to time .. [15:26] yassine_hell: cat wordlist | sort -u > wordlist.sort will do that for you [15:26] hungryhubby: your use of the term 'minimal kubuntu desktop' is a little vague. You could just install the 'kde' package i guess. [15:26] bif001 well i used "Crunch" to generate the list .. 8 8 length with mixalpha-numeric [15:26] CarlFK: this looks interesting http://www.arachnoid.com/linux/NetworkManager/index.html [15:26] hungryhubby, you got a link before [15:26] Dr_Willis: do you know how to check if it is enabled? [15:26] Dr_Willis: or disabled for my case [15:27] axisys: never noticed a way to disable it.. or reenavble it. I tend to do it by hand once a week . [15:27] bif001, I downloaded k3b but it isn't appearing in my apps [15:27] CarlFK: hopes it will work [15:27] Dr_Willis: hmm.. [15:27] yassine_hell: I don't know crunch, but it is worth checking if your lines are unique [15:27] hungryhubby, kde-plasma-desktop [15:27] dean_: did you install it? [15:27] bif001 yep each line is unique [15:28] GD__, try ##english or #ubuntu-offtopic [15:28] bif001, yeah it crashed, do I need KDE? cuz I'm using gnome [15:28] GD__: For Chinese, there is also #ubuntu-cn [15:28] dean_, no need [15:28] Good morning ! [15:29] dean_, you'll need to install libk3blame iirc [15:29] hello,I want to make dictionary of stardict,anyone can help? [15:29] dean_: umm, it might need some kde libs, but the installer, synaptic, apt-get, or whatever, should take care of that. [15:29] bazhang: dean_, you'll need to install libk3blame iirc << that too. 8-) [15:29] I know stardic-editor ,but I dont know put it where === vincent is now known as Guest46668 [15:30] bazhang, bif001, downloading that now :) [15:30] Hello? [15:30] Guest46668, hi [15:30] bif001, it still closed unexpectedly [15:31] dean_: try starting it from a shell, you might get clues as to why [15:32] hello,I want to make dictionary of stardict,anyone can help? [15:32] So I just installed Linux and I have problems with the hardware ;( I cannot use my microphone nor the webcam. I am fighting against this problem since 2 years....looking forward for solutions in forums, waiting for new ubuntu versions. But nothing helps.Maybe somebody will be so kind as to take controll over my computer and try to find a solution??? [15:32] Guest46668, what version of ubuntu [15:32] I can speak French German and Englisch [15:32] Hi Bazahang [15:33] Ubuntu 11.04 [15:33] but i also tried with 10.04 and 10.10 [15:33] installed dropbox for nautilus 64 bit but when I start it th cli , the error says ImportError: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32...are they hiding a 32 bit version hoping I have ia32-libs installed ? [15:33] Hi, is there a way to get the behaviour of the kde notification system in gnome? In particular, I want to be able to access some messages long after they've been, in case I'm not there to see them. [15:33] Guest46668, could be your webcam is not supported [15:33] Guest46668: what laptop model, and mic/webcam models [15:33] for example, for notifications of new chat messages, or download completions [15:34] Ok it is not that important. But the microphone is. [15:34] Hello there [15:34] How can I write on a specific drive? [15:34] And i cannot believe that it is not possible to get this f**** microphone running ! [15:34] (i have a HP laptop) [15:34] Guest46668: please give the model. also card details for the audio [15:35] I used glade some years ago. used to do "glade -w source.glade" do generate source code. I didn't find how to do this in newer glade-3. also didn't find any menu or help menu. any hints?

[15:37] Guest46668: also. have you checked to see if the mic is muted in alsamixer ? [15:38] bencc: looks the same as what I see in gconf-editor. have you found your static IP yet? I just posted to the mail list, so giving up looking for now [15:38] CarlFK: still not sure how to disable the previous one [15:38] why do my installing packages cannot be authenticated? is this normal? [15:38] cutout, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/skype-crashed-today-heres-a-fix/ [15:38] bencc: what are you trying to do? [15:38] Guest46668: allo? t'est encore la? [15:39] CarlFK: I already have a static IP but wanted to migrate it to another machine [15:39] nemo the mic is not muted...... as i said i ve been fighting against this problem since 2 years.... [15:39] LOL [15:39] exit [15:39] bencc: did you see the IP in the --dump? I didn't see mine [15:39] Guest46668: ok. I'm just checking. since you were unfamiliar w/ how to get card details, I thought you might not have tried alsamixer [15:39] Guest46668: again. you haven't confirmed - have you looked in alsamixer. [15:39] where to i find the tool to execute what you want me to execute? the menu is wiered under 11.04 [15:39] i am back ! a little people talking in the #ubuntu-cn ... [15:40] Guest46668: you can log into gnome classic from the login screen to get a more normal desktop [15:40] hello [15:40] CarlFK: it's under 1/ipv4/addresses the syntax is weird [15:40] Guest46668: open a gnome terminal (you can search for terminal) [15:40] CarlFK: read the blog post I sent you and the link from the mailing list [15:40] I have a problem with my laptop's webcam. [15:40] Jcook_5xData: thanks alot :) [15:40] CarlFK: I still don't understand how to disable the auto connection of Eth0 [15:40] cutout, np [15:41] Guest46668: I repeat though. have you checked the alsamixer utility *in particular* - length of time of "fighting" doesn't mean much ;) [15:41] does anyone know how to stop the screensaver when watching flash video? [15:41] metroider: inhibit applet? [15:41] nemo: is it a gnome panel app? i am using unity. [15:42] metroider: it is [15:42] nemo: i tried everything. but i am a newcomer so i mostly dont understand what i am doing. [15:42] getting an unusual error whenever i try to open software centre.. [15:42] I'm using Brasero does anyone know why it's not picking up that I have a cd? it's lookin to save to an image [15:42] Cheese crashes after a few minutes of use, after that it'll crash immediately after starting with an X Window System error.

[15:42] i cannot find it anymore in this version [15:42] Guest46668: also. I haven't asked for any sudo anything [15:42] Guest46668: log out. click on your username at login screen, choose Gnome Classic at the bottom of the screen. log in using that instead. [15:42] Guest46668: you should be able to find everything again [15:43] metroider: oh well. inhibit applet is quite handy. [15:43] metroider: otherwise. open screensaver and turn it off? :) [15:43] nemo can we open a private chat room. I ll turn crazy here. [15:43] Logging out and back in fixes it for a while but I'd like something less disruptive [15:43] any tips? [15:44] nemo: yeah, it sounds convenient, i was hoping to avoid having to open the screen saver prefs but maybe i will have to [15:44] nemo: My current theory is they have an HP with Intel HDA issue soundcard [15:45] Oh my god I will turn crazy here. Everybody is writing to everybody and i don t understand nothing anymore. [15:45] THIS IS CRAYZY [15:45] Nemo are you here? Can we talk in private?

[15:46] ok [15:46] you're getting seriously annoying [15:46] Guest46668, no cursing [15:46] bencc: did you see the IP in the --dump? I didn't see mine.. what I do see: 2/ipv4/addresses [15:46] hi bazhang [15:46] genii-around: yeah. might be possible that it just needs some custom mod line [15:46] is there a way to run gnome panel apps in unity? [15:47] Nemo why are you saying i am getting ennoying? [15:47] genii-around: but I'd like to have 'em check alsamixer first, and I can't even get him to confirm he actually ran that yet [15:47] * genii-around slides nemo a strong coffee [15:47] Guest46668: because you've ignored almost everything I've said. you've ignored private messages. yet somehow you focus on completely irrelevant things [15:47] I'd swear you're just a troll [15:47] Why did my clock in the notification area dissapear inte 11.04? [15:48] Any idea what drivers to get for M-Audio Delta 2496? [15:48] The official site is weird [15:48] how do I disable with a script "Auto etho"? [15:49] antihero: you're going to struggle with that device [15:49] ikonia: :( How so? [15:49] ikonia: I just want it to play sound. [15:49] antihero: poor support [15:50] ikonia: Is it possible to get it working at all? [15:50] antihero: I don't know, but I doubt you'll get any good results out of it [15:51] ikonia: Define "good" [15:51] I'm not realy looking to produce stuff, I just want it to work [15:51] puppet vs zabbix? any users here? [15:52] antihero: don't know, do a bit of research for it's linux support, it's pretty much non-existant [15:52] anyone knows where Chrome looks for the extension to load? [15:52] eg the manifest files [15:52] can someone running the latest ubuntu run this command for me?: find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name 'amd74*' [15:52] I get an error but can't find a way to tell Chrome not to load it [15:52] bencc: I don't trust that blog post given "because DHCP is possibly the most obtuse, shortsighted piece of software ever written, in order to resolve local addresses I use static addressing and a list of IPs in the /etc/hosts file of each machine." [15:53] CarlFK: works for me [15:53] bencc: that's lame. I have the same requirements and use dhcp+ddns, 0 custom config on the clients, life is good. [15:53] CarlFK: this can help you understand how to edit it manually http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ [15:53] My router has dhcp settings to give the same ip to machines based on their MAC.. [15:53] hc12 try amd64 [15:54] no, it's amd74xx [15:54] Dr_Willis: impossible!! must use etc/hosts! :) [15:54] Dazzled, go to tools extensions on the menu [15:54] .ko [15:54] ok === godfrey is now known as Guest10381 [15:54] I take it it's not there [15:54] CarlFK: dump with gconftool-2 to xml file, import it in the new machine and edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to disable the default "Auto eth0" [15:54] CarlFK: i do that also. but i have a 5 pc lan. So tis more to just make things easier for me. [15:55] I edit /etc/hosts to block some spammy Advertiement sites. :) [15:55] bencc: 3rd time: did you see your IP in the gconftool-2 --dump ? [15:55] robin0800, I see only one Extension there, it doesn't mention the one it throws an error about [15:55] robin0800, so I'm guessing a config file is corrupt [15:56] Dr_Willis: if you block adds, you will miss out on fantastic offers for amazing products. [15:56] CarlFK: is see those on my android phone. :) [15:57] Is there a differance btween "USB 2' and "USB 1' cables? I have a whole box of old and new USB cables. wondering if i accidently using a USB 1 cable on my Ubuntu box. may be the reason for my HD speeds being a little slow. [15:57] genii-around: dude was more cooperative in private chat [15:57] Dr_Willis: I need that app. actually, where do you see them? guessing browsing. I have a G1, so i don't do too much browsing cuz it hurts [15:58] genii-around: indeed, microphone was muted in alsamixer (but not, apparently in the pulseaudio based gnome mixer) [15:58] CarlFK: 4th time. yes [15:58] genii-around: do you happen to recall what that page is with per-model changes to sound settings? [15:58] CarlFK: read the blog. [15:58] genii-around: I've found it on ubuntu.com before, but always have trouble googling it and fail to bookmark [15:58] CarlFK: all the games :) i got adblocking in my Browser on the phone for the most part. [15:58] bencc: the blog doesn't agree with what i am seeing. I have a static set, but --dump gave me an empty list [15:58] hey guys im trying to script something so that it will restart a process in an already established screen session. screen -X -m -S sessionid program <-- is that correct? [15:59] nemo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568 are ones I've found useful for the HDA stuff [15:59] how do I use filezilla? where do I get a list of the existent ports and hosts? [15:59] Dr_Willis: ah, games. yeah, I have to stay away from that. too much time disappears when I start playing games. [15:59] script_: /join #filezilla [16:00] genii-around: hm. there was this page with a long list of models though :-/ [16:00] oh well [16:00] nemo: Yeah, lemme check my archived bookmarks, hangon [16:01] can anyone tell me how to make 11.04 desktop boot into a text only mode so the gui is only started by running startx? [16:01] !text | zule [16:01] zule: the kernel has a 'text' option you can replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' [16:01] zule: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[16:55] sevis_: /j #ubuntu-installer [16:55] hey, i have a virtualised ubuntu web-server. On tuesday i'll be working from a machine i don't have root to. [16:55] Ideally I'd edit the /etc/hosts file to point certain domains at my webserver. [16:55] As I won't have root access, my idea was to setup tinyDNS or equivalent. add my domains there, and then change the browsers proxy to the IP of the server, would that work? [16:55] jimmysparkle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:56] quick th default foldr for downloads is .....surprise ! Downloads [16:56] jimmysparkle: how will you setup dns without root? [16:57] CarlFK: I thought I would be able to change the browsers proxy settings without root - and point them to my server? [16:57] Any recommended apps in 11.04 to increase productivity ? [16:57] shutdown!! [16:58] kaushal: that question is too general, more details pls [16:58] jimmysparkle: ah, you want to run dns on a box you do have root to. I think you could just edit etc/hosts on that box. sounds plausable. === erdal is now known as Turkbaytar [16:58] my desktop will be an imac that is really locked down (university) but i have my ubuntu webserver virtualised on an SDcard which i will run on virtualbox [16:59] qin no, i mean netboot install [16:59] i need the desktop mac to load to projects on the virtualised webserver [16:59] ok, so it looks like my wireless card shows up and I can successfully perform sudo iwlist wlan0 scan but the network manager doesn't want to manage the connection. Ideas? [16:59] but I dont *think* i can edit the /etc/hosts of the mac - as I don't have root [16:59] sevis_: Yeah, had to knock my brain to jumpstart.. [17:00] jimmysparkle: um, so you are using the mac browser to hit the server on the VM. not sure I see why you need any dns/hosts stuff. just use the IP of the VM [17:00] what is the default permission in home folders for files and folders ? [17:00] 644 ? [17:02] CarlFK: the framework I use & the web applications I've written all require a domain to be called. It's a large white-label social networking platform. I need on the mac to type blahblahblah.development and that will send the request to the virtualised webserver [17:02] hello, je peux réinstaller un paquet sans virer toutes ses dépendances ? [17:02] oups sorry wrong chan :) [17:03] jimmysparkle: are you sure about that requirement? it 'should' all be set in the server's conf file, like etc/apache2/sites-available/foo.conf [17:04] hey guys [17:05] Hey guys, i just upgraded from 10.04 to 11, and it seems i dont have permissions to connect to my wifi networks now. when i right click on the network icon in the systray, enable / disable are greyed out. How do i fix this? [17:05] i have a revocation status on my ssl cert ... it says insecure ... also am getting error status n firefox when i try to go to the site [17:05] (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate) [17:05] CarlFK: I could in theory do quite a lot of leg work and change the application so it would load based on IP & a port number. [17:05] It's a white-label system, so the platform runs about 10 different sites and it uses the domains to differentiate which is being requested. [17:05] Is there a Plymouth channel [17:06] ideally if I can get the mac desktop firing requests at the web server via spoof domains that would be the preferred solution [17:06] I'm using ubunut 10.04. I've got 4gbs of ram and I am sick and tired of my swap being utlized. I've got my swappiness to 0 and yet it's still getting used. As I write this, i've got 2gb of used Ram and 180 mb of used swap. Whenever my swap gets utilized it really bogs my system down. So the next step I took was to run a script that will move the data out of swap and into ram, but it tells me I don't have enough ram. WTF! [17:07] jimmysparkle: ah, yuck. how about running the proxy in the vm? and again, I think just /etc/hosts on the proxy box should be fine. setting the browser to use the proxy sounds sane. [17:08] CarlFK: any idea how i'd go about doing that? Would I need to install tinyDNS? [17:08] Hi. Is ext4 a good file system for USB Hard drive? My hard drive is 1800Gb but with ext4 fs i loose 94Gb for lost+found. Do you think NTFS is a smarter choice? The problem is that sometimes (more or less 1 time/year) ubuntu gives me an error that I can correct only doing scan disk on windows if the disk is partitioned with NTFS. [17:08] dv310p3r: swapoff may be handy [17:09] Taravel, What about FAT? [17:09] qin, where should I put that? [17:10] jimmysparkle: no dns, just the vm's /etc/hosts [17:10] how to download only package files for a Ubuntu package such that it can be reinstalled if required? [17:10] jimmysparkle: in the vm, apt-get install squid. it listens on port 8000. I think thats all you need. [17:11] What else can i use to extract .rar files instead of winrar? [17:11] CarlFK: so I edit the vm's /etc/hosts file, I enter the VMs ip address & port 8000. and it will just automatically work? [17:11] after installing squid of course [17:11] This hard drive is used to store ripped Blu Ray films. Has FAT any problems with big files? [17:12] jimmysparkle: I think so. seems ok in my head :) [17:12] hah [17:12] dv310p3r: In terminal: man swapoff , it will just make your system use only ram, for swap you would need to check harddrive access time, normally it should work sealessly, You realy need swap only for hibernation and some misterious database issues. [17:12] ill probably be back in here on tuesday calling out your name! :P [17:12] Taravel: Yes, fat doesnt like 4 GIG in my experience [17:12] thanks for the advice CarlFK [17:12] how to download only package files for a Ubuntu package such that it can be reinstalled if required?:-( [17:13] hi, after upgrade to 11.04, gvfs mounts are now opened in firefox instead of normal nautilus, how do i change this back? [17:13] (im using the classic gnome2 desktop) [17:14] qin, thanks, i found how to use it, and it's running right now. [17:14] Taravel: 4gb max file size.. thats a big limit. [17:14] vpark, synaptic can do that [17:14] so this isn't a good choice for me. Can ubuntu read exfat? [17:14] Taravel: use ntfs if you want windows compatability [17:14] qin, a few people have told me it should work seamlessly, but it's not. When I check resources and swap is at 0, everything is fine. The moment it goes up from 0 to even 1 mb, everything starts going way slow. [17:15] Hi [17:15] robin0800: but I don't know where it stores the file [17:15] is there a way to measure the battery backup time in laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 ?

Do you think this was an old problem? The last time that Ubuntu showed me this problem was 1y ago. [17:17] Taravel: ive never had issues with ntfs in linux in years... [17:17] In any case I don't need Windows compatibility [17:17] ive had more issues with NTFS in windows.... [17:18] Taravel: then use ext3/4 then [17:18] jimmysparkle: oh wait.. 8000 was incorrect. that's for squid-deb... um... check etc/sometthing/squid/something.conf :) [17:19] Ok so ext4 is good for a usb Hard Drive? I thought it was designed for a system Hard drive. [17:19] Taravel: why would you think that?

[17:28] where is openssl-dev on ubuntu [17:28] :/ [17:29] apt-cache search ssl | grep dev [17:29] perhaps [17:29] nothing [17:29] :/ [17:29] Jennifer000: I believe you need libssl-dev [17:29] well nothing like it [17:29] I.e., input e.g. USB key from another distribution, boot, download some installer for Ubuntu, like wubi, which then replaces the running system. Then after a reboot there is Ubuntu. [17:29] install everything that has ssl and dev in the name [17:30] !info libssl-dev [17:30] pozic: theres debootstrap - but its not trivial to use... [17:30] libssl-dev (source: openssl): SSL development libraries, header files and documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.8o-5ubuntu1 (natty), package size 1972 kB, installed size 5748 kB [17:30] IdleOne: oh :P tanks [17:30] welcome [17:30] CarlFK: It's working! Thanks so much!! [17:30] Dr_Willis: I am aware of debootstrap. [17:30] i'm all set :P [17:30] jimmysparkle: wow, that was fast. well done. [17:31] Dr_Willis: but AFAIK, it is more intended to create chroots, not complete systems. [17:31] nw just need to upload my 9gb VDI file to the titnerwebs (as filesystems apparently incompatible) and I'm all set ! [17:31] hi, i have a weird slowliness when i ssh-connect to my ubuntu from another machine, what could it be ? [17:31] how to exit 'su -' [17:31] pozic: it can do installs.. but you may as well do a normal install [17:31] to get back to user [17:31] is it 'exit' [17:31] ? [17:31] Jennifer000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:31] Jennifer000: 'exit' and use sudo. not su -, in most cases [17:32] Jennifer000: yes [17:32] i choose su - [17:32] :/ [17:32] Dr_Willis: if there would be something with a signature that I could just download and do ./InstallUbuntu, I would use that, but I guess there is no such thing. [17:32] what my VPS host tell me [17:32] Jennifer000: http://goo.gl/Qk1Gg [17:32] to use [17:32] :/ [17:32] Jennifer000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:32] vps host doesn't know how to use ubuntu [17:32] Jennifer000: then your host is breaking ubuntu 'guidelines' [17:32] i dont want to have to sudo [17:32] PITA [17:32] lol [17:32] Jennifer000: sudo -i [17:33] !sudo | Jennifer000 [17:33] Jennifer000: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [17:33] Jennifer000: then use su properly under ubuntu.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:34] Its a little scary that someone says sudo is a pita.. but dosent know to use the 'exit' command to exit su - ..... [17:34] Dr_Willis: isn't that the truth. [17:34] whenever xscreensaver goes off, my keyboard becomes unavailable for a few seconds... but the USB mouse plugged in to said USB keyboard continues to work fine. any ideas?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:34] Dr_Willis: someone either doesn't know what a "pain" is, or really needs to slow down and learn what they are doing and why [17:34] Dr_Willis: sudo configuration is a pita, though. [17:34] Dr_Willis: the tricks explained on webupd8, to reset ubuntu classic, worked, ok [17:35] pozic: not really. [17:35] MonkeyDust: you found it eh. :) [17:35] windows is best [17:35] !windows > ubuntu_ [17:35] ubuntu_, please see my private message [17:35] KM0201: compared to what it does, its user-interface is terrible.

I've configured it to automatically send any requests to a .rw domain to my servers proxy [17:36] Dr_Willis: do you run 11.04? [17:37] I run several differnt disrtos pozic [17:37] CarlFK: thanks again for the help! [17:37] Is there a command to list running deamons [17:37] buttons: the service command. [17:37] Hey guys, I want to cut a portion of a music, .mp3 file. What should I use?? [17:37] Dr_Willis: is one of them 11.04? [17:37] jimmysparkle: you're welcome - was a pleasure working with you :) [17:37] pozic: if you have a 11.04 question.. then just ask it. [17:37] Dr_Willis: what? [17:37] Krishnandu: audacity [17:37] buttons: the 'service' command.. check it out [17:37] MonkeyDust, Thanks :) [17:38] Is 64 bits 11.04 broken on install? [17:38] Any other better music editor than audacity>> [17:38] pozic: broken how? [17:38] (on el-cheapo Intel graphics hardware) [17:38] pozic: it works here. Ive heard of no 64bit issues. [17:38] IdleOne: fails to boot/things like that. [17:38] pozic: I been running 64 bit for almost 2 years without issue [17:38] I'm trying to install erlang with checkinstall and getting an error: "/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/lib/erlang': No such file or directory" [17:38] pozic: check the froums and askubuntu web site perhaps. [17:38] IdleOne: I have been running it since 5 years or so. [17:38] it works when installing with sudo make install [17:39] pozic, a fail to boot is a simple fix if everything is in good order. [17:39] pozic: Would be easier to answer if you gave us a little more detail as to what exactly you are experiencing [17:39] Is there a way to start Pidgin after bootup of Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 ? [17:39] IdleOne: nothing yet, I just wanted to know what I can expect. [17:39] I browsed the release notes already. [17:39] I think I should be fine. [17:39] The release notes are a bit old, though. [17:40] pozic: hope for the best, prepare for the worst as with any distro install [17:40] Anyone able to help me? =| [17:40] It would be more useful if every note came with a date attached to it. [17:40] flametai1: that always happens when you move the panel to the side. [17:40] Currently, you have to click through every link to see what happened to it in the bug tracking system. [17:40] (obviously, this should be automated) [17:41] KM0201, really? I never knew that, is there anyway to make it smooth like the regular bottom one? [17:41] Can I burn a CD while it is downloading? [17:41] I.e., not yet complete. [17:41] If not, why not? [17:41] not that I know of [17:42] flametai1: not that i've ever figured out (but I've not really looked into it either)... the side panels just never look right. [17:43] KM0201, well that's very annoying but thank you. =] [17:44] Is there also a fully automated installation option in which IP geolocation determines the language, time zone, etc.? [17:44] flametai1: i thik it just has to do w/ the way themes set up the panel items... (left to right, instead of up an down) [17:45] flametai1: you might be able to make it look right if you go to icons only..

Now I want to install "update-manager-core" but am getting dependency errors. How to debug/fix? Example: [17:48] python: Depends: python-minimal (= 2.6.6-2ubuntu2) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu5 is installed. [17:49] tried upgrading lucid to natty, fail/mistake. am now trying lucid to maverick. [17:49] philip_, are you sure your are on the right track. [17:50] do you know if there is any network simulator which includes various switches, firewalls etc.. [17:50] *you're [17:50] philip_: how are you doing the upgrade? do-release-upgrade, update-manager, or dist-upgrade? [17:50] philip_: you should have went lucid to maverick anyway, you can't skip distros [17:50] i understand going to natty was a mistake, but now i think it messed up my system [17:50] i already did update/upgrade with maverick, but note: i did this with natty before and probably screwed something up [17:51] may I suggest a backup of your files and an install CD? [17:51] philip_: possibly.. clean install lucid or maverick... people make stuff to hard on themselves by not thinking... if you read the uprade instructions, skipping releases is not advised.. so you should expect problems [17:51] +1 [17:51] this is a remote server [17:51] philip_: that makes it even sillier [17:52] so there is no real solution/fix? [17:52] oh lawd. well, the resulting mess from unsupported behavior... [17:52] philip_: the solution/fix, would have been to do it right the first time.. [17:52] or are you guys simply going to remind me of my foolishness? :) [17:52] yeah, pretty much [17:52] okay [17:52] hi, my nautilus does not show the eject icon for removable drive ..but when i start a guest session it works. Is there any way to activate this icon also for my normal session? [17:52] philip_: clean install, backups first. [17:52] I know it's a pain, but you're kinda on your own since you went way off the beaten track :( [17:52] yup [17:52] Is there a dedicated Plymouth channel? [17:53] figured, but was hoping for a magical solution [17:53] * KM0201 sighs [17:53] logi, have you changed anything in te=he gconf-editor [17:53] *the [17:54] KM0201: you sound like an angry person [17:54] maybe too long in user support [17:54] nit-wit: no [17:54] logi, what distro is it Natty ? [17:54] bonjour à tous! [17:54] philip_: no, not angry, i just find you amusing.. you do something completely unsupported, then come here and whine that it doesn't work want to know a "magical" way to fix something you caused. [17:54] hello [17:55] hi guys, need some help with skype error I'm getting on 10.10 [17:55] KM0201: whine? i was simply asking for a solution to my problem [17:55] philip_: actually, it's not even unsupported, its not recommended.

[18:00] Dr_Willis, I'd disable it as well, but it's for a presentation machine [18:00] diana-banana: but i was saying you should be able to choose the DE if you log out, during the log-back-in process, and it should then remember what you choose [18:00] diana-banana: for a single user.. the user has a .dmrc in their home [18:00] ubottu, that worked thanks a lot :-) [18:00] warrior_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:00] maco, i can choose it if i log out [18:00] diana-banana: right [18:00] Dazzled: I find plymouth causes more sisues then its worth.

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. [18:00] logi, look in gconf-editor here /apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_visible [18:01] diana-banana: choose openbox. then it should remember that [18:01] Dr_Willis, I agree I am not even sure why it was used in the first place") [18:01] maco right now i am in openbox [18:01] but it won't remember it [18:01] ubottu, bot or human still good advice ;) [18:01] warrior_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:01] let me try by the way [18:01] lol [18:01] it's a bot [18:01] OMG!!!

[18:09] mellin: i dont think the hosts file can do a range like that. [18:09] man hosts perhaps?

It's not a set of IP addresses and hostnames to "allow". [18:10] rww: Ok got it I had the firewall entries mixed up with the hosts entries. Thanks for the information! [18:10] hosts.allow and hosts.deny :) but are those even used any more? [18:10] logi, that icon s to show it's mounted not a eject I believe.

[18:11] kaushal: gnome-screensaver i belive.

[18:13] Dr_Willis: Any idea about AwayOn Lock in Pidgin which does not work ?

Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false" . How do i fix this? [18:33] hi, every time i plug in my usb drive, it takes like 3 minutes to show up and also the unmount takes forever, it happens after upgrade from 8.04 to 10.10. anyone knows what is the problem here? [18:33] ActionParsnip: !clone seems irrelevant if the other machine has no network connection [18:33] rww: thanks [18:33] ActionParsnip: thanks [18:33] Panfist: note the second command in the clone factoid ;) [18:34] logi, thanks i didn't even know that the icon in question was a click for off I'm so used to a right click full remove. [18:35] off=unmount [18:35] Sparr: the second half shows how to use a text file as input to aptitude. So is useful. Read between the lines [18:35] Hi [18:35] Does Ubuntu have the complete support of the ACPI? [18:35] nit-wit: My problem was that the icon is not shown in "tree view" ^^ [18:36] nicola: in most cases, yes. Depending on hardware [18:36] could someone answer me? [18:36] rww: is there any way to do that via the command line? [18:37] nicola: the problem is that there is no such thing as ACPI. [18:37] the mounting takes too long any suggestion? [18:37] Nicola: i did... [18:37] SFLphone (which is included in the Ubuntu repository) has a new version our for a while, 0.9,13, but in the repository there's still 0.9.12. Who has a hand in getting the new version in? Does the developer have to do this, or is there some committee, or...? [18:37] Does anyone know of a way to use an Original Xbox communicator (the puck that plugs into the old xbox controllers to use a headset) in Ubuntu? I bought it without checking the compatibility first. the actual controller works perfectly (it's the original original, aka the "Duke" fits perfectly in my hands) and the headset works in XP, which is now the only reason I voluntarily ever boot into Windows. [18:37] ActionParsnip: i'm still not sure how that can just fetch the dependencies of one package for me. the two systems are nearly cloned except for one package tree, [18:37] nit-wit: It's just show in "Places" view and can't be deactivated via gconf :) [18:37] Lucifer_: those are usb, but with a different connector, right? [18:37] Hyperbyte: there is a Ubuntu developer introduction process. [18:38] ActionParsnip: also, even if i did want to re-clone the whole thing...the listing given by the first command does not list all dependencies, just seems to list top-level packages [18:38] Hyperbyte: but you can also compile it from source for yourself, if you want. [18:38] Panfist: modify the command to only download the packages in the text file [18:38] Sometimes my laptop doesn't go in standby (scuseme for the english Ispeak it not very well) [18:38] pozic, SFLphone is already included in the apt-get repository though, just an old version. [18:39] nit-wit: ..and thanks for your help [18:39] Lucifer_: oh, you are talking about 360, got confused by the 'original xbox' [18:39] Hyperbyte: if you are just a user (no dev skills), then you can send in a bugreport. [18:39] kelvinella: mounting of what? The question lacks details [18:39] Hyperbyte: you then say 'a new version of your package is available', for example with an URL to the release, if you want to be extra helpful. [18:39] pozic, filing a bug report seems like a good idea then. :) [18:40] ActionParsnip, any usb drive [18:40] The developer has an Ubuntu package on their website, so it shouldn't be difficult to include that in Ubuntu I think. :) [18:40] ActionParsnip: so it's only going to still download top-level packages... unless i'm misunderstanding it completely...? [18:40] Thanks [18:40] Hyperbyte: that is not really how it works. [18:40] Hyperbyte: sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. [18:40] each package in the ubuntu repos. has a maintainer. [18:40] ActionParsnip, i plug in 500GB usb drive or 2GB usb drive, it takes about 2 to 3 minutes to load [18:40] Panfist: its not for cloning. I fired the factoid because the second part is useful to you as it shows how you can use a text file as input to aptitude [18:40] does anybody know why I don't have --list-powerstates or --lsp in the provided ati catalyst binary driver? aticonfig has no idea what I am talking about :/ [18:41] sigh, I think I can upgrade Plymouth from "Not working on Nvidia and ATI cards" to not working at all [18:41] why does /help not work? [18:41] Hyperbyte: basically, if a developer has complete control over a package he can build in trojans into Ubuntu. [18:41] Hyperbyte: so, AFAIK, they should be different people. [18:41] pozic, makes sense. [18:41] ActionParsnip, in the mean time, the nautilus will grey out [18:41] Hyperbyte: I don't think Ubuntu is that secure, though. [18:41] Dazzled: thts how i normally hear about the plymouth 'fix's' ending up...... [18:41] Would filing a bug report be the correct way to bring this under attention? [18:41] Hyperbyte: yes [18:42] ActionParsnip: there's still some layer in between that isn't fitting because if i use apt-cache depends, the output is polluted by crap like indentation, and keywords like "recommends"... [18:42] Alright. :) Then that's what I'll do. :) [18:42] kelvinella: as soon as you connect it, count 10 then run: dmesg | tail and you may get clues. [18:42] Thank you! [18:42] ActionParsnip, also when i click safely remove drive also takes like 2 minutes, everything is grey out [18:42] Hyperbyte: it can take a month or so in those cases, usually. [18:42] Dr_Willis, the fixes are far too specific to be of any use of a "general" user [18:42] Hyperbyte: for very unpopular packages, it can be never. [18:42] and even the "Plymouth Manager" looks like it was someone's first QT application [18:42] Dazzled: yep. and they dont address the core issues of pymounth and the propoaty drivers fighting. [18:42] Hyperbyte: in that case, scream louder, or pay someone :) [18:42] pozic, I'm in no hurry. I got the package installed. :) Just feel like Ubuntu deserves a good business oriented softphone in it's base. :) [18:43] Dazzled: thats part of that BURG manager stuff? i saw a blog posting for it the other day [18:43] Panfist: then you will need to pipe to an awk command to carve out the colomn you need. [18:43] Dr_Willis, I've never heard of BURG, but it's mentioned in it [18:43] Plus, SFLphone is the only softphone that supports PulseAudio out of the box I believe. It works best out of all the ones I tested (and I believe I've had them all)... SFLphone is relatively new though, so I can imagine it's not under lots of people's attention yet. :) [18:43] oh, boy... [18:44] Dr_Willis, thought it was Grub done backwards or something [18:44] howdy [18:44] ActionParsnip there must be an easier way to do this when synaptic GUI can do it for you in one click on a top level menu... [18:44] Hyperbyte: good, I thought all open-source softphones basically did not work. [18:44] ayuddaaa [18:44] helpp [18:44] xD [18:44] zert: para ayuda en español, va a #ubuntu-es por favor [18:45] pozic, well, I'm not affiliated with the project, so don't think I'm trying to sell you something (it's actually free), but check out www.sflphone.org [18:45] Hyperbyte: I am just saying I was not aware of it. [18:45] pozic, I know. :) [18:45] Kevin`_ yeah, essentially. there's an extra wire in the original cable for like light guns and stuff, but it works without that [18:46] anyone can help? http://pastebin.com/cEJcYWHZ [18:46] just setup vsftpd on an ubuntu lts server. seems to be working fine. i have noticed, though, that a user seems to need a valid login shell to ftp into their account; if i have them with /bin/false the FTP fails. I imagine this is intended...but is there a recommended way to have users who have ftp access but not shell (ssh) access? [18:47] [OO.o 3.2] In an embedded HSQL database I am considering to reduce the length of a field of one table. No entry in this field is longer than the new field length. What will be the effect of this operation? [18:48] hmm, so all resolutions are listed twice [18:48] it's not confusing at all [18:48] anyone know how to fix this: eiriksvin@eiriksvin-desktop:~$ winecfg [18:48] wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe" [18:49] it happened after a downgrade from wine 1.3.20 to 1.2.2 stable [18:51] anyone maybe knows, how to fix protocol mismatch when tunnelling via ssh from ubuntu to debian? [18:51] is it possible to connect 2 mice and have 2 cursors in the same display? [18:52] d1gital, for what? [18:52] warrior_: general use. I want a mouse in each hand. [18:53] d1gital, yes but why :)??? [18:53] sounds like somthing from a Sci-Fi movie. :) [18:54] warrior_: there is no legitemate reason [18:54] just to do it [18:54] does X in all its flexibility and modularity really not support this? === anthonyp is now known as anthonyp4 [18:55] d1gital: i've seen someone do that with a multitouch display, so it should be possible somehow [18:55] d1gital: I was under the impression that multi-mouse support made it into X quite a while ago. [18:56] Pici: so i might be able to just add another mouse to the config? To the docs! [18:57] d1gital: I should think so [18:58] [OO.o 3.2] In an embedded HSQL database I am considering to reduce the length of a field of one table.

[19:01] such that* [19:02] Hey, I need help recovering my Ubuntu system [19:02] could someone here help me setup dual boot with ubuntu 10.04? [19:02] FreezingCold: what do you mean recovering? What is wrong? [19:02] I was upgrading from 10.04 (or .10, can't remember) to 11.04 and now my system can't boot up [19:02] I have a feeling somebody shut it off while it was updating [19:03] I get like a "The disk drive for / is not ready" error at boot === bafilius is now known as applesquash [19:03] pozic: it is configured, but not working as I would assume [19:04] is there a way to add aplications to unity 2d dash [19:04] kikr: ok, then report a bug. === applesquash is now known as bafilius [19:04] kikr: include screenshots showing that you configured it correctly in your bug report. === bafilius is now known as applesquash [19:04] histo [19:04] Know what the issues is? [19:04] *are [19:05] i am currently running ubuntu 10.04 and want to dual boot with windows xp and need help setting that up. as i hear, it is not that easy to setup dual boot if your going from ubuntu -windows and not windows-ubuntu [19:05] pozic: okay, where would I report a bug though? === applesquash is now known as bafilius [19:05] kikr: just search on Google: report bug Ubuntu. [19:05] !bug | kikr [19:05] kikr: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:06] FlashJordan1: after Installing Windows, you can reinstall the Grub2 boot loader fairly easily: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [19:06] is there a way to clear all status for an upstart job? this job keeps hanging on start/stop and always thinks it has the same PID [19:07] what is the prefered method to use home on a network? nfs? are there any good options for using home on lan? [19:07] i dont know how to install windows onto my computer WHILE RUNNING ubuntu, as well as correctly partitioning my computer for the job. i still have my live USB, can i just easily reinstall GRUB through that? [19:07] iceroot: home? [19:07] I have to create an account with LaunchPad in order to submit a bug...? [19:07] pozic: yes, home [19:07] kikr: yes, unfortunately. [19:07] kikr, yes [19:08] ok, i fixed my other vsftpd problem (just needed to put /bin/false in /etc/shells) but now i have another one. I added 'text_userdb_names=YES' to /etc/vsftpd.conf and restarted the daemon, but when i login via ftp i still see the numeric values. the man page says i shouldn't. what gives? [19:08] iceroot: ah, ok. I can imagine nfs would work. [19:08] iceroot: I never tried it. [19:09] pozic: so i guess you cant help me [19:09] Is it possible to add a system monitor type thing to the unity bar at the top? [19:09] FlashJordan1: Pop the Windows XP installation disc in, restart the computer, go into its BIOS, and tell it to boot from the optical drive first. As for partitioning, you can create the space in GParted. [19:10] yaaar: disabled selinux [19:10] Hi all [19:10] FlashJordan1: however, I believe Windows has to be installed at the "front" of the drive. [19:10] i cant seem to do anything in gparted becasue for me to partition my 500GB drive i need for it to be unmounted... but i cant unmount and edit the drive WHILE im running ubuntu off it [19:10] why.. [19:10] yaaar: if it is in enforcing mode [19:10] FlashJordan1: use a livecd [19:10] Can someone help me with my usb adapter sitecom on ubuntu 11.04? [19:10] how do you use 'du' command to show the largest dirs first? [19:10] yaaar: or just pass the boolean for it [19:10] flashjordan1: boot into a live environment [19:11] FlashJordan1: If you just have one partition for the whole drive, it's going to be mounted whil running Ubuntu and therefore cannot be edited by GParted. You'll need to run GParted from the Live USB instead. [19:11] jiltdil: i don't appear to have selinux installed at all... [19:12] SoulEdge: lsusb will identify it. Use the 8 character hex id to find guides [19:12] yaaar:sorry i misunderstood your question i think you might be asking for user authentication login i didnot see your question correctkly [19:13] hmm adding another mouse shares the same cursor. can I get 2 cursors on the same display?

[19:14] so live cd gpart, partition, boot into windows disk, install on empty partition, let finish, reinstall grub2 through ubuntu live usb, but what about the windows partition having to be first> [19:14] ActionParsnip: I used also ndiswrapper with windows driver, drivers are ok, the hardware with "ndiswrapper -l" is seen and marked like "present" but, even if I load ndiswrapper module after a "depmod -a" the wlan0 interface doesn't appeare [19:14] jiltdil: when i login via ftp and issue an 'ls' command it shows a numeric UID/GID for the ownership. i want the names instead. the vsftpd.conf man page claims i can do just that by adding text_userdb_names=YES ...but i did that and it had no effect. [19:15] when you said boot into a live envirement did you mean the gpart live cd to partition? [19:15] Souledge: is there no native driver for the chip?

[19:18] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/sjqnJ6L9 [19:19] hi i need some help [19:19] SoulEdge: it may indeed need ndiswrapper, or there may be a driver to build. The guides will tell you what's what [19:19] FlashJordan1: hmm, possibly, but i dont really see why that would be an issue.... it might be easier(and almost definitely quicker) to install windows, update, etc.. let it nuke the whole drive, then repartition and reinstalll ubuntu [19:19] FlashJordan1: it technically doesn't, but it's problem prone in some configurations because it's windows. do make it a primary partition though [19:20] comm_: if you define them in smb.conf then restart the smbd service you can [19:20] hi [19:20] KM0201: the windows installer asks you what to do with the partitions, there's no need to resize it afterwords [19:20] well, another thing is im scared to install this windows xp disk, because i tryed to install it in virtual box and got the BSOD of death immediately on reboot after fresh install of it... and i dont want to install shitty vista.. [19:20] ActionParsnip, the weird thing is that I created a share through the gui and there is no evidence of it in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file [19:20] FlashJordan1: what about 7 [19:20] Kevin`_: true.. i just always did it afterwords, cuz i don't trust a win cd for nothing.

[19:34] freezingcold: i cant rightclick it [19:36] installed xscreensaver [19:36] no need to report bug now [19:36] ActionParsnip thanks again === comm_ is now known as Jinxed- [19:39] Guys do you know hot to make spaceback button be "Back" button in firefox? [19:39] "spaceback button"? [19:39] I had could use it in Linux Mint but in Ubuntu [19:39] Alumin, yeah [19:39] Does anyone know where the information is stored when you use the gnome gui to create a samba share IE right click sharing on a folder? [19:39] warrior_: 99.999% of humanity calls that backspace. [19:39] Can someone help? [19:39] ohh backspace haha [19:39] lol [19:40] On Startup from CD-ROM I get an error [19:40] hmm [19:40] backspace f ck it [19:40] mine actually does that, but that's due to the Vimperator extension [19:40] not sure how you'd do it otherwise [19:40] It looks like a man in a bubble with a Spreadsheet next to it. [19:40] in any other channel, the preceding line would probably go in the topic [19:40] pozic, thank's for mentioning that ;) [19:41] warrior_: always happy to help. [19:41] ;) [19:41] Anyone? =/ [19:41] Colin969: you haven't even asked a question yet [19:42] I did x_x [19:42] Well.....in a sense [19:42] Alumin I get an error on startup from CD-ROM [19:42] how do iuse the built in kernel memtest? [19:42] Colin969: humans are not of that kind of advanced intelligence to have any idea what you are talking about. [19:42] Alumin - Looks like a spreadsheet with a - and a Man in a bubble next to it... [19:43] Its In Pictures x_x [19:44] =/ [19:44] Colin969: notice that you did not say which error you got. [19:44] It had no writing. At All [19:45] Colin969: ok, well, nobody can help you unless they are the developer of that specific error message. [19:45] Colin969: and that they can recognize that exact situation of which the chance is near zero. [19:45] pozic - Well thats...shit [19:45] Colin969: please describe what it is you are seeing when you boot the CD [19:46] Colin969: also no swearing please [19:46] Colin969: the problem, if any, is your lack of detail. [19:46] Colin969: it might have been caused by some programmer on drugs, but that's really not important. [19:46] IdleOne - Just like 2 Icons with a - inbetween [19:47] Colin969: the "man" icon is for accessibility options [19:47] Oh [19:47] Colin969: The other icon is? [19:48] Lookslike a messed up keyboard [19:48] Colin969: and it stays stuck on that screen? [19:48] IdleOne - Yup [19:48] IdleOne - Its a laptop btw [19:49] Colin969: How long has it been stuck? you may need to download the iso again but try doing a md5sum on the iso you downloaded first. [19:49] !md5 | Colin969 [19:49] Colin969: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:50] IdleOne -Will plugging in a spare mouse help? May as well try [19:51] Colin969: give it a shot, might jar something loose and get it going :) [19:51] Hey, I really don't understand the difference between 32 and 64 bit architectures, and the ubuntu download site says 32 is recommended, but I have 64. Which one should I download? [19:51] Thanks =P [19:51] !warty [19:51] Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. [19:51] Sje [19:51] !eol [19:51] 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 [19:51] Hi Colin969 [19:52] Sje i think its just for umm...diff stuffs x_x, Which people mayneed 64Bit For? [19:52] sje46: 64bit works fine provided you have 64bit machine [19:52] Oh. [19:52] Nice to know [19:52] <-- FAL [19:52] IdleOne: I have a 64 bit machine. But would installing 32 make it so more hardware works on it? [19:52] Brb [19:52] sje46: no [19:52] doesnt installling 32 bit when you have 64 bit make it slower? [19:52] no [19:53] So it's not really an option...I should download 64 bit because 32 won't work, IdleOne ? === trolling is now known as trolling|a [19:53] sje46: that is not what i said at all. 32bit OS will run fine on 64bit machine [19:53] audio device disappear from lspci [19:53] IdleOne: you have to expand, please [19:53] this is a big decision [19:54] sje46: you should get both, install both, and see for yourself. [19:54] If 32 will work just fine, thenwhy would people download the 64 version? [19:54] sje46: both will work, some things will work better than others. [19:54] CarlFK: yeah, no, that's kina dumb [19:54] sje46: It depends on your hardware / software you wish to use. Not all software and/or drivers are yet available in 64bit flavour. If you plan on running obscure hardware/software, go for 32bit. If you don't, 64 [19:54] sje46: only thing is that 32bit won't recognize more then 4GB of RAM but you can install the pae kernel see /msg ubottu !pae [19:54] sjakie: Memory allowance, mainly [19:54] Right, sorry, what you said; IdleOne. :-) [19:55] robrt`: why 64, though? Why not play it safe and always go wtih 32? [19:55] sje46: See IdleOne's last response [19:55] if you need one process that allocated >4gb ram [19:55] Future-proofing, basically [19:55] go with 64bit [19:55] if not. just use 32bit [19:55] with pae if you have 4gb ram or more [19:55] blech PAE [19:56] i probably dont need a process like that, right? I don't know how many processes would be like that. [19:56] hi. can't see sound card in lspci [19:56] sje46: right [19:56] IdleOne - Now it wont even reach anything past [19:56] if you have more than 4GB you should use 64-bit [19:56] well what kinds of things ould be problems in regards to the ram? [19:56] IdleOne - ISOLINUX 4.02 Debian-XXXXXX ETCD [19:56] PAE will technically get the job done, at a speed penalty [19:57] Like, if I want to run games in wine, shoud I get 64 bit? [19:57] no [19:57] IdleOne couldnt be bothered remembering the number. [19:57] Is the 64 bit version more for servers or end users? [19:57] Colin969: is this an Ubuntu live CD or Debian? [19:57] sje64: it's both for servers and desktops [19:57] Ubuntu CD [19:57] IdleOne - Ubuntu CDE [19:58] CD* [19:58] sje46: 64-bit is more common on servers, but only because it's taking longer for desktop app developers to release 64-bit builds [19:58] I'M LOOKING AT YOU BROWSER PLUGIN DEVELOPERS [19:58] ravage: Right, well I'm trying to figure out which one if I should reasonably expect to run programs that need 64 bit [19:58] !md5 > Colin969 [19:58] Colin969, please see my private message [19:58] that need more than 4GB of ram [19:58] IdleOne - Would be easier if i even knew if the machine was 32 or 64 [19:58] Alumin: those plugins are likely bad anyway. [19:58] sje46: but processes in general need more memory in 64bit mode. so if you have no 64bit apps at all go with 32bit. more efficient [19:58] !md5 [19:58] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:58] Alumin: if people don't know how to cross-compile... [19:58] Colin969: just go with 32bit if you aren't sure [19:58] pozic: yeah but they could be bad on a 64-bit system :) [19:58] ravage: RIGHT. What I'm trying to figure out is what kinds of apps are 64 bit [19:59] I think Adobe knows how to cross-compile and they were _very_ late to the party :) [19:59] not that you're not right, of course [19:59] sje46: all ubuntu apps in the regular repos support 32 and 64bit [19:59] Alumin: probably their code base was full of assumptions. [20:00] I bet :) [20:00] Alumin: good developers write code against an abstract machine. [20:00] let's get back to Ubuntu support, #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. [20:00] If someone of you wanted to learn about ubuntu everything so you know the system in and out - what would you start with? [20:00] warrior_, a cup of coffe and a deep breath. [20:00] warrior_: Ubuntu specifically, or GNU/Linux in general? [20:01] warrior_: Install it, break everything, use the forums to try and fix it again [20:01] install Fedora and turn it into Ubuntu :D [20:01] warrior_, this is a good place to start: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/index.html [20:01] Alumin: Like turning lead into gold ;-) [20:01] Alumin, GNU/Linux in general [20:02] IdleOne - Didnt come with a .md5? [20:02] warrior_: in that case, you should check out LFS (Linux From Scratch) [20:02] Colin969: the link ubottu gave you provides instructions and tells you where to look for the md5 [20:02] what calendar software do you recommend? I'm searching a good one :) [20:03] warrior_: you can better invest your time in a CS curriculum. [20:03] Aison: if you use KDE (long shot in this channel, but hey) I'd recommend Kontact [20:03] otherwise, Mozilla makes a product called Sunbird that may be to your liking [20:03] warrior_: or if you already have a university degree, just get a book.\ [20:03] Question for u smart folks.. why is it when u set ubuntu to static .. /etc/resolv.conf goes blank .. is it because of network manager? [20:03] Aison: Sunbird / Google Calendar [20:03] pozic, CS curriculum? What's the CS acronym? [20:04] computer sciense [20:04] warrior_: Computer Science. [20:04] er, science rather [20:04] Alumin, well, i'm using kde, but for email and such i'm still using thunderbird ;) maybe Sunbird is a solution ^^ [20:04] pozic, I am just an amateur :-) [20:04] IdleOne - God i just CBA [20:04] Also I study law now - so It's too late to switch. [20:04] can anyone tell me waht is a good avi splitting tool? avidemux and ffmpg thing fail [20:04] warrior_: I think there is documentation for every skill level. [20:04] if you're using Thunderbird, check out the Lightning extensino [20:04] IdleOne - This laptop cant even boot from USB Ffs [20:04] warrior_: do you know what a file system is? [20:05] Aison: if you use thunderbird anyway try http://www.lightning-project.org/ [20:05] IdleOne - Its made of pure untouched fail. [20:05] pozic, not really - what is it? [20:05] ravage, Alumin, just tried the plugin, but somehow it's not working. I can try to create new tasks, but then nothing happens [20:05] IdleOne - My netbook didnt give me this trouble =/ I just cba, thanks anyway [20:05] weird [20:05] warrior_: in that case, I suggest you first read the Ubuntu user documentation and then just buy a random beginner book on Amazon about Ubuntu with enough stars. [20:06] I'm having trouble installing some perl modules in ubuntu server 11.04. I'm running into this: http://pastebin.com/uGauMNxv [20:06] warrior_: if you want to know the details, buy a Linux kernel book after that. [20:06] does anyone play sacred gold? is it as good as diablo and have online gaming? [20:06] beef-supreme: define "good" [20:06] good as in enjoyable as.. [20:06] beef-supreme: you could probably get it done with mplayer/mencoder at the command line [20:06] pozic, thanks [20:07] Alumin, avidemux an ffmpg when they split the audio is out of sync [20:07] "install seems impossible" - that's very pesimistic :( [20:07] looks like natty don't have got lightning [20:07] sorry, sunbird [20:07] really? [20:07] that surprises me [20:07] well, I can search for sunbird, nothing found [20:07] pozic, file system - isn't it how the linux is organized? [20:07] it's in Universe FYI [20:08] Hey guys, is there a viewer I can use to flip through pdf documents like you can flip through pics in eye of gnome? (without having to manually open a file, are prev/next buttons to open the next file in the same directory) [20:09] oh [20:09] apparently Sunbird is going away, they're just going to do Lightning now === redTest is now known as Laser [20:10] Apparently my sound card got "raptured" yesterday..... Need some help, I was running pulse audio until yesterday sometime.... Now don't know what I am running [20:10] funny, and when I install lightning, I get this new menu in firebird with the calendar stuff. But nothing works === n1k0s_ is now known as n1k0s [20:11] does the calendar show up in the UI? [20:11] I can open it, yes [20:11] been a while since I used Thunderbird but I think you had to do something to get it to show up [20:11] hi guys [20:11] I am up on Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba A355 S6930 [20:12] any good chan to help me with hardware question? [20:13] doneky: #hardware :) [20:13] thanks sir [20:13] When I go to System/Preferences/Sound I just sit there with nothing [20:14] must be invited to get access.. [20:14] is the update notifier part of Ubuntu or is that a Kubuntu-specific thing? [20:14] Hey guys, which channel should I go to for backtrack support? [20:14] Axtra, try #backtrack buddy [20:15] Alumin: it's on all of them, i see it on xubuntu [20:15] I think that the Update Notifier is a basic part of Ubuntu [20:15] !backtrack | Axtra_ [20:15] Axtra_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [20:15] Thanks [20:15] actually I should clarify that [20:15] I don't mean the thing that notifies you of security updates etc [20:15] I mean the thing that offers to install packages for "extra functionality" [20:15] Axtra, #backtrack-linux [20:15] I've only seen it twice, for K3b and Amarok, so I wonder if it's a KDE thing [20:15] this should work [20:15] hi [20:16] a probably very stupid question: [20:16] (or a Kubuntu thing) [20:16] If i click the "_" Symbol on the top left, the window should minimize. [20:16] But where can i re open it? [20:16] Im using ubuntu 11.04 [20:16] everythingWorks, no stupid questions only stupid people who don't know the answer to a question. [20:16] (The one with the new unity style) [20:16] everythingWorks: you can alt´tab to it :) [20:16] doesn't Unity have a task switcher of some kind? [20:17] a "panel" [20:17] alt+tab works pretty fine yeahaaah! thanks :D === mb is now known as Guest91432 [20:17] i keep getting an error with realvnc on my ubuntu installation about xauth not being able to lock the /home/USER/.Xauthority file. could anyone help me with this? [20:17] Alumin: you could ask in #kubuntu maybe more people there will be familiar with what you are referring to [20:17] I did, nobody answered :) [20:17] and then I thought it might be a feature of core Ubuntu [20:17] * warrior_ wants a night with Shakira === doneky is now known as Donkey [20:18] djcaston: does that file exist? who owns it? [20:18] you guys think if I use a 1GB flash drive it will affect the installation process? [20:18] * warrior_ mucho gusto mujeres latinas [20:19] the file only 685MB [20:19] have anybody ever heard of of libsample rate >= 0.1.1 im trying to download it and can't find it [20:20] Alumin: it does exist, and the owner is root === sbell_ is now known as sbell === Wolf is now known as Guest98170 [20:20] prezident: >= means greater than or equal to, so your looking for libsample 0.1.1 or higher [20:21] Will I still be able to install gnome if I want to when 11.11 comes out? [20:22] Sir_Leto: gnome 3 will be available for 11.10 [20:22] would someone be able to help me with my problem since the person that was helping me left? :) [20:23] Thanks.

[20:27] It always forces me to use X and I cant find way around it [20:27] rain: should be something like: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [20:27] rain: can't you uninstall gdm ? [20:28] m [20:28] No fount [20:28] sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults [20:28] doesnt this permanently remove X?

[20:31] ah I see now [20:32] Is there any command such as stopx that wouldnt disable it [20:32] but go cli mode for 1 time [20:32] you can just stop gdm [20:32] rain: sudo service gdm stop [20:33] rain: or if you just want a tty then CTRL+ALT+F1-6 [20:33] tried those keys [20:33] Gracias [20:33] they dont work for some reason [20:33] rain: and they didn't work?

[20:35] doxin: sounds like you got some sort of hardware problem.... (was that w/ the CD you had used before and it worked?) [20:36] hmm that's something I gotta try.. [20:36] KM0201: yes. [20:36] KM0201: same everything [20:36] doxin: hmm, sounds like you got some other issues there [20:36] KM0201: how would i find out for sure what happened? [20:37] doxin: if i had to guess, i'd think optical drive, but.. thats just me.. since your hard drive can still be mounted/browsed w/o problems, logic would say its working ok. [20:37] KM0201: hmm, any way to checksum the cd to see if that gives any errors? [20:38] KM0201: this really sucks... not being able to install :/ [20:38] doxin: you can checksum the ISO if you want.. but... if you used the CD and it worked fine before... what could ahve possibly changed [20:38] doxin: ot you can just try the netinstall via USB. so you can rule out bad ISO and bad drive [20:39] hmm, [20:39] Everyone, I have a few MP3 files that don't seem to be supported on my phone, plus I need to chop a few down to use as my ring tone. anyone have a program they can recomend?

[20:56] pozic: "errno 5" [20:56] doxin: mini iso might work, but i think he has a hardware problem.... [20:56] doxin: which program exactly? [20:56] i'd try the alt. cd [20:56] pozic: startup disk creator [20:57] doxin: I mean the name of the binary. [20:57] mini is like the small alternate version ayway [20:57] ravage: how am i going to burn that with my cddrive in use by the livecd tho?

[21:01] iceroot: the iso works, but installing from them requiers some workarounds... for instance, the alt. cd... since it errors out if it can't mount the CD, so you have to mount your USB as a cd. === puff` is now known as puff [21:01] hi everyone. i'm struggling to find my xorg.conf but all I find is an xorg.conf.in. Is there a newer configuration file for X11? [21:02] another name I mean [21:02] vjacob: modern X does not need a configuration file. [21:02] KM0201: why should the content of the iso mount itself again? [21:02] vjacob: there is no xorg.conf by default. you can add any sections you like to an empty file [21:02] iceroot: have you used the alternate cd from a usb? [21:02] pozic: so how do I set the keyboard layout? [21:02] will be merged with the autodetection [21:02] vjacob: /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists. [21:02] ah ok [21:02] KM0201: i am using everything from usb because my pcs dont have cdroms [21:03] let me try restarting x with a single entry xorg.conf added then.. [21:03] iceroot: have you used the alternate cd, from USB.... i know the live cd's work, and presumably, the mini iso works [21:04] nope, X11 starts up now, but my keyboard layout stays the same (ignoring what I put in the xorg.conf file) [21:04] KM0201: This step is only needed for the Alternate install CD and Ubuntu 6.10 or older. [21:04] vjacob: keyboard layout can be configured in the GUI. [21:04] KM0201: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831332 [21:04] vjacob: you can just select 'Keyboard'. [21:04] iceroot: dunno, it's never worked for me w/ any ubuntu distro...if it works for you guys, thats great.... but it dind't work for me w/ 11.04 either.

[21:10] doxin: try unetbootin. format usb drive with fat32. mount it. start unetbootin. choose your iso [21:10] doxin: I used the alternative one before. [21:10] I mostly hate window management on the Mac, and unity seems a lot like it, but I'm giving it a try [21:10] * DanC__ wanders off to #swig ...

[22:43] bazhang, I'm about to load up puppy and figure out what driver it is using, sound good? [22:44] prime: try using wicd instead [22:44] ascheel, you could try booting without the splash screen to get some more information [22:44] that might help [22:44] semitones: Is that disabled through grub or what? [22:44] Any opensource cross platform software to share a USB connection virtually over a network? [22:45] @ActionParsnip I still couldn't achieve it :( [22:45] ascheel: I think you press the shift key while grub works its magic [22:45] ascheel, yeah, when you boot, you have to edit the boot entry in grub by pressing "e" [22:45] ascheel, then look for where it says "quiet splash" and delete that [22:45] semitones: I can modify grub since I can log in through ssh just fine.

As said earlier, I've used "who" command. It listed the active users 1. nikhil tty2 2. nikhil tty1 3. nikhil tty6 4. nikhil tty7 and so on...Now, I'd like to close these terminals. How do I achieve this using root. As we cannot terminate/kill these from being logged in the same terminal.

[22:59] semitones: so I'm on Ctrl-Alt-F1 by default instead of F7 (GUI) [22:59] semitones: if I switch to F7, it's a higher res screen, but stops after "Starting AppArmor profiles".

[23:36] Can't tell because laptop is stuck in grub rescue [23:36] red-ashes: permissions are usually lost due to the fact that USB sticks are formatted with some kind of FAT which is common sense for all OSes. [23:36] stuck_, when are where and what is being done when you get the dependency error? [23:36] Ahhh :) - Well let's worry about grub first ;) [23:37] like for example.. I chowned a whole folder of pics to red:red (thats my name and group) and one of the pics became unviewable... and then i chowned it back.. but that one pic was the only one that behaved that way [23:37] Raylin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749811 [23:37] Ubuntu bug 749811 in xscreensaver (Ubuntu) "[r300] Screensaver will not complete screensaver to sleep mode, PC freezes and must be hard rebooted" [Undecided,Incomplete] [23:37] those files I chowned btw were on my hdd, not the stick [23:37] yeah, the stick it doesn't matter [23:37] Raylin: if you enter your model # at the HP site, it will tell you all that is in it [23:38] i noticed once you mess with permissions on the command line you can't fix them in menu.. and if there is a definitive tutorial on the subject I would love the link, although I know i can go search for it on my own [23:38] red-ashes: lots of tutorial for unix permission rights out there. [23:39] ty lol === tchanphysics is now known as being [23:39] BorgTK2001, Intel HD Graphics. [23:39] And yes, we should worry about GRUB first. [23:40] anyone? [23:42] Can someone help? I'm having a lot of problems with 11.04.

Are you able to use a Live cd finally? [23:43] No. [23:43] Piece of junk computer my dad's got can't burn D's. [23:43] CD's* [23:44] How did you install Ubuntu in the first place? [23:44] Raylin, make sure it is a natty cd if your reload grub2 to a natty install. [23:44] Natty Narwhal ^.^ [23:44] Well, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 [23:44] Oh. [23:44] Lol. [23:44] My bad. That's Natty, isn't it... [23:45] yup [23:45] @_@ free os [23:45] That explains the narwhals. [23:45] educational programming [23:46] What time is it where you are, Raylin?

[23:46] As I can only suggest you go get yourself a USB stick from the nearest computer shop === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko [23:47] i have an hp laptop with windows. I burned a ubuntu 10.04 cd with the intention of installing it on the hd. The cd takes forever (10+ mins) to load and then i get a user and password prompt. Googling tells me to use 'ubuntu' as the user and nothing for the password. It sill wont log me in. I cannot shift+ctrl+f1 to get a term window. So, I burned a ubuntu 8 cd from my personal archives and this hp laptop loads it quick and no user/pass prompt. My qu [23:47] dtcummin: This is an interesting error. There should not be an error with this line. It seems that: verinfo = lsb_release.check_modules_installed() outputs a wrong value.
